The carnivore diet is a diet that consists exclusively of animal products, such as meat, fish, dairy products, and eggs. It excludes all plant-based foods, including grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. It aims to mimic the diets of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, who subsisted on meat and animal products for millions of years.

The carnivore diet has numerous benefits, one of which is the achievement of a lean physique. When you eat only animal products, your body gets all the nutrients it needs without any extra calories. As a result, you eat less, and your body uses its stored fat for fuel, leading to weight loss and a leaner physique.

My girlfriend and I are excited to embark on this journey together. We have planned our meals, created a shopping list, and stocked up on our favorite cuts of meat. We are also going to monitor our progress by taking pictures and measurements regularly.

We know that the carnivore diet may be challenging at first, but we are determined to make it work for us. We also recognize the importance of eating high-quality animal products, so we will be sourcing our meat from trusted suppliers.

In addition to the physical benefits, we are also looking forward to the mental clarity and increased energy that come with the carnivore diet. By eliminating processed foods and sugars, we hope to feel more alert and focused throughout the day.

As a personal trainer and coach, I know how frustrating it can be to try out different diets and still feel lethargic, focused on food, constantly hungry, and not seeing any weight loss. It's a tough cycle to break, but it's important to understand why it's happening and how to overcome it.

One of the biggest reasons why diets can leave you feeling hungry and tired is that they often restrict the amount and type of food you eat. Many diets promote the idea of "calories in, calories out," where you simply have to consume fewer calories than you burn in order to lose weight. However, this approach is overly simplistic and doesn't take into account the fact that not all calories are created equal.

When you restrict calories and nutrients, your body can go into starvation mode, which slows down your metabolism and causes you to feel tired and sluggish. Your body also starts to crave high-calorie, high-carbohydrate foods, leading to intense food cravings and overeating.

Furthermore, many popular diets are unsustainable in the long term. For instance, very low calorie or low carbohydrate diets may result in rapid weight loss initially, but they can be hard to stick to in the long run. As soon as you go back to your regular eating habits, you'll likely regain the weight you lost.

 My main issue with the typical decreasing carbs approach  was my body was still reliant on them for energy, which left me feeling zapped. Especially at 97KG my body needed alot of fuel. I was constantly tired, thinking about food and just wishing this period of my life would be over. To give you some context I was 70 KG as a grown man. For my height this is ‘underweight’ and I was always slim, V-lines on my hips, vascular during exercise etc. So for me to be 97KG I was both muscular and carrying excess fat. It was crazy to me that i’d now developed an issue with overeating as i’d been used to having 4.5-5K calories per day for the past year.

So, what's the solution?

For me this was the carnivore diet. By cutting ALL carbohydrates and getting energy solely from fat, I maximised the energy I was getting through the day, maximised the protein i was getting from my decreased calories and also felt amazing. Now i’d been introduced to carnivore some years ago and it was the leanest i’d ever been in a matter of weeks. I thought this is the perfect time to reintroduce this and peel off the excess fat im carrying. Within weeks I was kilos down, this is likely to be water weight but the quick wins kept me coming. After this the weight started falling off. I was so happy. Weights in the gym have maintained or progressed, I am now fairly lean and will show you my journey to getting shredded to the bone. 

As the temperatures drop, and the holidays approach, many of us find ourselves struggling to maintain our diets and exercise routines. However, for some individuals, winter is the perfect time to make positive changes, especially when it comes to transitioning to a carnivore diet.

For those unfamiliar, the carnivore diet consists of eating only meat, fish, and animal products, such as eggs and dairy. Advocates of the diet claim it can help with weight loss, energy regulation, and improved mental clarity.

I recently started the carnivore diet in December and managed to lose an impressive 11kg by March. Remarkably, I found retaining my strength, gaining endurance, and experiencing no energy drop-offs; quite an achievement for transitioning to a meat-only diet during the winter months.

So, how did I do it?

First and foremost, I ensured my diet was balanced by consuming different types of meat. I used  beef, pork, and chicken. I also focused on consuming high-quality meat, opting for grass-fed and organic sources where possible. 

Furthermore, I was careful to consume enough fat. While it may seem counter-intuitive, consuming enough fat is crucial to providing the body with energy and keeping one satiated. Since my meals were purely meat , I made sure to add enough fat to their meat, such as cooking with butter and adding cheese when i was under my desired level of fat. 

Finally, i was mindful of hydration levels, drinking plenty of water and mineral supplements to prevent any electrolyte imbalances.
