Anyone try the carnivore diet?

I've been on it for a month and I already feel better, my eczema has completely cleared up and I've lost 15 pounds (200 to 185). Others I know who have been on it longer say they are in the best shape of their lives. Maybe the food pyramid is wrong and things like seed oils and carbs are simply toxic to humans.

What is the difference between it and Atkins and Keto? They all sound the same to me. Eat all the steak you want, white stuff like rice and potatoes are the devils.

You’ll lose weight just like anytime you cut carbs . But that diet long term isn’t healthy . It’s all protein , fat and salt

I did it several years back and it was great but I strongly suspect a lot of it was I just ate less. When eating out, it's pretty hard to find stuff to eat so (if you stick to it) you end up with a piece of meat and some veggies and water. Which is better for you and less than 99% of restaurant meals.

I think it has less to do with meat and more to do with the reduction or removal of processed foods, hybridized or domesticated foods, etc. all stuff that wasn’t part of the human diet until about 150 years ago.
Whatever it is, it’s real. Eat as raw and pure as possible -like a caveman- and you’re eating the way your body has evolved 10k+ years to eat.

I would like to try it. I have, however, cut out seed oils since last October and have lost almost 30 pounds in that period. 195 down to 168 and wearing sizes I have not worn in 20 years. Reducing seed oils means cutting out pretty much every processed food. In doing so, I realized just how much I was snacking. It was obscene.

Or, your diet was really a can of shite before and with any improvements you see benefits.

Fad diets are not sustainable... Congrats on the high cholesterol, fatty liver, and gall stones.

I tried it for 3 weeks.
I had constant shits and my energy levels plummeted. My workouts greatly suffered. I overall felt gross and tired. I did drop a quick 10 lbs though. Probably mostly water weight though since carbs make you hold more water.
I think I'll stick with my normal diet of prioritizing protein, while still eating carbs to a degree.

Ah yes. I see people dropping dead daily from drinking milk and eating apples.

Bodies respond differently to different things. Could be your body has a problem process certain things, could be (as others have suggested) simply that your overall volume of eating has decreased. Some people just do better eating certain things.
My wife has a friend who found out she's allergic to black pepper and cannot process carbs well at all. She's almost a year carnivore, grass fed ungulates mostly and some chicken. She's healthier than she's been in years, but acknowledges that she is a fairly unique case.

I visted the H&F board hoping to find a thread on this, and wouldn't you know, it was at the top of the board.
I agree with the premise that fad diets are mostly unsustainable for the majority of the population, but I have heard enough about this one that I embarked on a journey to try out carnivor for 5 weeks, I am two days in. The caveat will be that if my workouts / energy levels are suffering then I will supplement with small amounts of fruit as I have heard this helps without defeating the purpose of the diet. I do take a greens powder in the morning with my vitamins.
Some background: I am 30 years old and in pretty good shape, workout consistently and dont really need to lose weight. Been around my same wight for 8-10 years. If I drop 15# then I will be in the best shape that I have been in for a long time. My primary reason for wanting to try it is just to see what the hype is about. I am going on a 30+ day kick of no alcohol for the first time probably since being of legal drinking age, and I figured it would be a good time to give this diet a shot since most of my bad eating habits come on the back of alcohol consumption. Its a convenitent time to try it since we are in the lull between baseball and football seasons, no big holidays to get in the way. I also have a lot of meat in my freezer that needs to be cleared out before hunting season. I don't expect that I will keep this up for the long term, but we're going to see what its about. Going into it with an open mind and I will report back with my findings.

Anyone know if those green powder superfood drink mixes are compatible with carnivore diet? What about nuts ? Well, I’m sure these don’t fit pure carnivore, but I don’t see how they could interfere with the benefits of a carnivore diet unless I’m missing something.
Carnivore diet wasn’t really on my radar, but last week I switched to mostly meet - lamb breast, salmon, bacon and eggs, chicken wings,Greek yogurt etc. And a smoothie right after strength workouts -spinach, carrots, banana, frozen fruit blend, peanuts, cacao powder and water. All my pants fit better now and I feel pretty good. And satiated usually.
