I Tried Carnivore Diet for 7, 70 & 700 Days… Here’s What Happened

In this video, the host discusses his transformative journey on the carnivore diet over 7, 70, and 700 days, highlighting significant health improvements and changes in his mental state. Initially struggling with obesity and depression, he finds relief and healing through a meat-based diet, ultimately reversing health conditions and achieving sustained energy and clarity.

Key Points

Starting the Carnivore Diet

The first seven days on the carnivore diet felt overwhelming. The host was initially skeptical about consuming only meat but motivated by years of health struggles, he committed to a 30-day strict elimination diet. Over this period, he had to adapt mentally to the drastic change, grappling with the reality of a meat-based diet.

Transition to Ketosis

Between days 8 to 70, the individual experienced a significant transformation as his body adapted to burning fat for fuel. This period was marked by weight loss, reduced inflammation, improved mood, and the disappearance of mental fog, highlighting the diet's benefits.

Long-Term Effects and Maintenance

Post day 70 and into day 700, the host describes how his perception of food changed permanently. He no longer viewed food as an addiction but as sustenance. His health continued to improve, including the reversal of congestive heart failure, showcasing that a carnivore diet can maintain health and vitality.

The Importance of Clean Meat

Throughout his journey, the host discussed the quality of meat consumption, primarily focusing on grass-fed or pasture-raised options that avoid glyphosate and other substances harmful to health, reinforcing the need for clean food choices.

Documenting His Journey

The host emphasizes that his experiences led him to create a documentary aimed at sharing the healing potential of a proper human diet. He advocates for spreading awareness about the benefits of the carnivore diet for mental and physical health.

You can't see the fog for the fog

his little demonstration of struggling for basic words hits so close to home.

I've not had that universal moment of walking into a room and forgetting why since starting again either.

Wait, does this guy only eat meat? Literally no vegetables? I understand, even if I don't agree with, the desire to cut out carbs. But no leafy greens? Where's the fibre coming from? The Vitamins C and E?

Great questions!

fibre coming from?

No fibre is being consumed. Turns out this isn't such a big problem for carnivores.

Here is a case study of one carnivore's gut Paper - The gut microbiome without any plant food? A case study on the gut microbiome of a healthy carnivore - 2024.

Here is the only RCT done on fibre ever published.

The big argument for fibre is that it feeds the gut, which will produces SCA (short chain fatty acids) that are necessary to keep the colon healthy, however a carnivore, being in ketosis, is producing ketones (BHBs) which are distributed throughout the entire body, including all of the gut.

The Vitamins C

There is actually a bit of Vitamin C in meat, and without glucose competing for the same transporters (glut4) the vitamin C in meat is very effective in the body. There is no documentation to date (no published case studies) of a carnivore getting scurvy.

Vitamin E

Is available in egg yolks and animal fat. As a carnivore diet is a mostly fat based diet (70-80% should be fat) this works out. Overall carnivore is a very oxidant free diet, so overall oxidative stress is low.

This guy does like to talk, but his experiences line up with mine.

At some point my snoring went away too, so I can attest to that as well.

This guy does like to talk

But unlike most youtubers he's keeping that pace in a single shot not stitching together every sentence in post.
