completely recomped my body after a near 6 year layoff from gym and eating standard American diet. Am 6'3 215 to 218 depending on how much fluid I drink that day. 32" waist. All I care about is how big my waist is and cardiovascular health anything else is gravy.

I know you don’t count calories on the carnivore diet, but what does your daily meal plan look like

Train at 5:00 AM free weights and then 35 min cardio on treadmill at 14% incline and 3.0 speed (6 days a week)
6:30 AM - 50 gram whey isolate shake
10:30 AM - 16 oz ribeye steak and 50 gram whey isolate shake
3:30 PM - 1 pound 85/15 grass fed beef and 50 gram whey isolate shake
5:00 PM - half pound 85/15 grass fed beef with 3 scrambled eggs and 3 slices bacon (Wright Brand)

Drink 1 gallon of water a day. Train at 5:00 AM with a caffeinated pre-workout Training is 'bodybuilding' specific but I'm not trying to break any records in strength or size I just want the biggest shoulders, smallest waist and biggest thighs possible naturally.
Supplement with Creatine HCL
Also currently using boron, DHEA, and grass fed beef liver protocol (it is working)
Use ZMA and 60mg of melatonin on empty stomach before bed

your personal story with it and your diabetes

Don't have diabetes I just found out through trial and error that for me personally I work better with fats as energy source than carbs so I do carnivore. At 40+ it is basically a cheat code in my opinion but what works for me might not work for you and vice versa everybody is different. Last time I went to have bloods taken the MD couldn't believe how good all my vitals were they were all pretty much bang on I was concerned because there are some who think Carnivore is not good long term. If my numbers were off I would stop immediately and pivot to another diet as my goal is overall health and wellness nothing else. Going back in 60 days after I run the DHEA/boron protocol to see what if anything changed. Then, will look at if I need to look at TRT goal is to avoid for as long as possible. One of the biggest factors in all of this is sleep. Getting 8 hrs every night has been crucial for my progress. It is a game changer.

That’s easily $30+ a day in food without supplements, right?

Seconded.

Zero supplements, unless you want to call salt a supplement. Just carnivore and to be even more precise, my diet is about 90% ribeye steak. I'll eat seafood once a month or so. Never fried, just baked w/ rolled Amish butter.

Tons of health benefits along the way, including lowered A1C, that I can get into if you like, other than the "exterior" changes I've had in the 15 months I've been eating this way.

I feel a little weird posting this, but this is me....I'm going to be 50 this year.

Yes, I'm a huge fan of Javier Milei.
