re: Have any of you tried the Carnivore Diet ?

I did it for six months a few years ago. Previously, I had done a low-carb diet based on the book "Wheat Belly."
Both worked wonders. I lost weight and had great improvements in allergies and sinus pressure.
The Wheat Belly diet was more "successful," as my weight dropped faster and the clearing of my sinuses was more noticeable. The carnivore diet was much, much easier to follow, as it didn't require making almond-flour based focaccia to use as bread for sandwiches.
I gave up both because it's very difficult to eat out on either one of them.
My wife and I are starting the carnivore diet again.
Hope that helps.

How long did you try it?
About 6 months. I noticed improvement when I modified the diet to add some soluble fiber. It seemed to help calm things down a bit. I still eat a high protein diet and try to limit processed carbs.

Two very underrated steaks
Sous vide all day while at work, come home and pull half a dozen eggs from the coop that my free range chickens laid, sear meat on the kamado joe for 2 minutes each side, flake salt and you've got an affordable, delicious, healthy, nutrient dense meal with little fuss. It's just like Obtuse mentioned: Your healthy diet has to be practical and work for you, otherwise it's just a diet, not your diet. That setup above works really well for me and my hectic schedule.
And as already posted, you don't eat as much, so it's often cheaper to eat like that, or at least break even. I eat once a day. Just like sleep, eating begets eating. One big meal a day early in the day, no preservatives, no corn syrup, food dyes, refined sugar, seed oils, glyphosate grains - just food the way it's supposed to be.
And very few eat that way. I have 4 very close personal friends and family who currently have stage 4 colon cancer, they didn't eat that way, but the narrative blames it on eating like that.
The engineer in me doesn't follow that calculation,
and that's because it's bullshite. Hence the guy on the first page telling the op not to eat a whole food carnivore diet because it's bad for you and to ask your GP about a healthy diet.
That's the worst possible thing you can do. My GP is 80 pounds overweight until one day awhile back I go in for a checkup and she miraculously lost 40 pounds without a gym membership and a sunken in face.
Wonder how she did that?
No thanks.

All I have to add is Solas sweet and buttery bread is amazing. 1g net carbs per slice. It is almost $6 a loaf though (14 slices).

Gotcha.. reason I asked is because I was diagnosed with Crohn's before my first crack at carnivore.. Dr basically told me I was going to have to be on a pill for the rest on my life that was $300 a month.. so I started doing some research.. that's how I found Dr. Ken Berry and Dr Berg and a few others.. first round of carnivore got me off meds and back to normalish.. started eating like shite again and started having issues again this why I'm back on the carnivore kick and planning on staying longer

Put it on in the morning before work, get home, sear, and eat. Takes 20 minutes total, and you can vacuum seal multiple cuts, and have your meat ready for immersion for multiple days out. It's a game changer, you just need a dedicated counter top spot for your sous vide because it stays there.
If it's inconvenient we taxpayers won't be able to stick to it. There's just not enough time.

Depends on kind of dairy. I’ve added plain Greek yogurt and cheese sometimes.

No. I like fruits and vegetables.
I’ve tried carnivore twice for a month each and hated how I felt. My workouts suffered greatly.
Not all diets are optimal for everyone.
Find what works best for you.

You have a female doctor? I would've thought the engineer in you would be logical enough to know better.

My wife and I did it for about 4 months this year.
She's firmly of the age of "heat flashes". They completely went away about 10 days in. Completely.
She had blood work in month 4 prior to surgery and it was like her blood work reverted 20 years. All levels were perfect.
We dropped off due to her surgery/recovery time. We are looking to start again.

No, it’s a fad and it isn’t good for people with predisposed heart issues. It will just amplify those issues.
Ehh. I’m honestly sick of ANY of the absolutes spoken by people regarding ANY diet outside of stop eating ultra processed shite.
Wild concept but it’s almost like we’re all wired a bit different and have different nutritional needs.

Can you explain carb retention for me. Thanks.
Your muscles have the capacity to hold a certain amount of carbs for instant energy, and those carbs will hold an amount of water. I forgot the exact numbers, but just imagine that for every 10 pounds of muscle your body can retain up to a pound of carbs and water. When you drastically reduce carbs, your body will use the instant carbs stored in your muscles which also releases the water.
On a scale, after a week of exercise and carb restriction you'll be down like five pounds with very little of that being an actual reduction of body fat. Then as soon as you eat a carb heavy meal and rehydrate, all that weight comes back.

Sometimes I'm shocked at how dumb some responses are then I remember how dumb the average person is and your response makes a lot more sense.

You can cook any meat in an air fryer in 20 minutes. Just thaw the day before. Marinate the chicken/steak in Italian dressing and there you go.

Long sustained effort workouts and Carnivore are not ideal. Some people suffer through it but it will degrade maximum performance in endurance athletes.

She's way down the list of people I'd take nutritional advice from, and her male counterpart is even worse.

I heard that it makes you more likely to crop dust people in Lowes because of the protein farts.

If it makes you feel better there are chefs using glass containers with identical results, and there are even some retail options available, though I can't recommend one.
Been looking at getting one of these.. my only concern is the whole cooking your food in plastic...
Otherwise I'm coming in, setting the meat out, seasoning, firing up the grill, etc. It goes back to lifestyle: with 3 kids under 5, a business, properties to see after, etc., time is of the essence. If I can't make it my diet it's just a fad diet. Besides, I eat 1 piece of food that comes out of a single plastic container made for it one time a day, while the majority of people eat the majority of their diet out of plastic containers and bags multiple times a day, and we haven't even discussed the lining in canned food and drinks, nor have we discussed the inevitability of pesticide levels spiking in people who load up on fruits and vegetables. Don't forget: most pesticides can't be washed off of most fruits. I'll take my low temp, single use bpa and dioxin free plastic bag over the above all day every day, but everyone is different.

According to gastroenterologists, carbohydrates such as sugars, starches and fibers produce the most gas in the colon, as they do not get absorbed as completely in the small intestine. This is why vegans and vegetarians tend to be more flatulent than their meat-eating counterparts.
