🔴 Carnivore Q&A | Why You Might Not Be Losing Weight on the Carnivore Diet

Stay away from FRIENDS who are Not!!! Supportive

For over a year now, I’ve eaten roughly the same each week. I lost 75lbs over several months (from 255 to 180) and then stabilised and didn’t deviate more than a pound or so. Then the last four or five weeks I’ve lost another three to four pounds. Still eating the same. Our bodies regulate…they are far wiser than we are.

I am a 64-year-old woman who started this nine months ago and I’ve lost 27 pounds and feel great. Each pound has been a slow loss but how great I feel is more important to me. Clearly the weight is coming off. I wish I started doing this sooner.

I’m thinking 2 years is probably a good window to wait for all the benefits of a proper diet amongst those of us over 50 wanting to overcome a lifetime of abuse to our bodies.

I had a weight stall 6 months in and then started gaining weight again, but never changed my waist size, I realized it was my muscle growth, my testosterone levels had been climbing, happy man at 60!

At the start of the world shutdown in march 2020 I started keto and lost 216 lbs and 26 inches from just my waist 59 year old male body with no surgery. 18 months ago I started ketovore and 2024 pure carnivore. I did this to get rid of my back fat, as well as the fat under my arms and chest. My body composition has dramatically evolved, I have very little loose skin, and the stubborn back fat is disappearing along with the loose skin there. 18 months ago, my weight started to rise, but just a few months ago my weight started coming back down along with the hardest fats for me to lose since I've been ultra morbidly obese all my life. Since I live in Hawaii, my girlfriend next year is to go to the beach and no one can tell I was ever 406 pounds as all of the scarring and stretch marks are all fading.

I’ve been carnivore for 3 yrs now, lost 68lbs in first six months, then I did get stalled for almost 1.5 years after that. I stayed the course, cause I kept experiencing so many other changes. About a month ago I started losing weight again. Now down another 13 lbs. I started out at 308 lbs.

THANK YOU for posting this! I've been so upset about my stall and all these people in carnivore community have been giving me loads of advice and overwhelming me. I'm not eating that much. Only OMAD. Maybe hormones. I'm 62. But then when I'm posting on Homestead How they start posting FAILURES, "maybe your over eating" maybe this maybe that and etc and I was about to quit! I was really upset! I can't eat any less than I am and I don't have enough money to eat more geez!!!!!!!! All labwork are great. My body comp is great! I'm happy but weight is frustrating because I have another Total knee replacement coming again. I don't wanna miss my timeline for that. I have incorporated omega 3 caps, more fats, ghee in my coffee and etc. I've noticed my neck, legs and ankles are much smaller with the extra fat in the last few days. I'm not gonna check my weight for another two weeks. But again thank you Dr Chaffee for putting me at ease.

I dropped 30lbs immediately due to glycogen stores. Then I stalled for months. I had to get honest with myself. I was eating pork rinds, plus sour cream. Dropped those, plus ALL dairy, and weight started dropping quickly again.

I went from Keto to Carnivore a couple of months ago..Not a bit of change on the scale for about 5 weeks ..I was losing fat for sure though- my clothes told me that. Finally, got a 5 pound drop almost overnight a few days ago.

I started carnivore on May 11 after years of being on and off keto. I immediately developed nausea to food and lost from my ideal weight of 118 pounds down to 103.8 since then. The nausea has passed but I still can’t eat a whole lot of meat at each meal. No one ever talks about this problem. I have added back in a little yogurt. I eat a lot of fat and I’m in strong ketosis with my blood sugars back down to normal. I’m not sure what to do except hang in there. I am 81 years old.

I'm a big believer in game changers - change frequently between bison, beef, venison, duck, squab, quail, dove.

So true it takes time to loose weight. Lost about 10 pounds the first 2 months then nothing until the 5th month. Now it's coming off every day!! Yay! Stick with it.

I haven't done any of that, lol. I just know my clothes fit better, my inflammation has gone way down and every time I look jn the mirror I am in awe of my own gorgeousness 😅.

This is timely for me- 6 months at this- not loosing weight- lost inches and a lot of health problems resolving but still need my meds- going to just keep going and trying to improve the carnivore regiment - sometimes I am sloppy carnivore- helpful video -thank u so so much

Thank you Dr Chaffee!!I really needed to hear this at this time. 🙏🏻💕🇨🇦

I need to gain not lose.Im 73 yr old male Carnivore for 15 months. When I started march 25th 23 I was 120lbs @6ft tall. I'm up to 155:lbs now low body fat

I been on a carnivore plan for nearly 1 year, I work out with weights 3 times a week. I only weight myself on the doctors scale, 6 months ago I weighted in at 265.5 ,last week I went to.my Dr.and I weighted 265.5.The Dr asked me if I feel stronger, I said absolutely, no doubt. I am 🔥 burning fat,and with all the good Protein I eat I'm also building muscle. I eat 26 eggs per week, fasting insulin is 6.8. Not worried about my 172 LD

No problem whatsoever with you swearing from time to time because it's actually pretty funny since you are such a positive, calm, well spoken super intelligent person that is clearly concerned with optimizing everyone's health journey and it just shows authentic sentiment towards others that are not..😄

Hormones out of whack for a given individual is usually the reason for no weight loss, assuming strict carnie. We didn't get sick and unhealthy over night and for some it can takes years literally years not days weeks or months to correct the balance. Some might need a kick thru medical intervention to get the balance back. The old saying, time heals all wounds.
