Why you're not losing fat on a Carnivore Diet?
The carnivore diet is not a weight-loss or fat-loss diet. It’s actually a nutrient-dense, high-fat, low-carb lifestyle that supports your body to burn fat as the main fuel source.
To be clear: If you are eating a carnivore diet and still think you need to lose weight—stop worrying about it! You will not lose weight on this diet unless you have some other underlying medical condition that affects your hormones and metabolism.
The only way for anyone to lose any significant amount of body fat is for their body to be able to use stored energy (fat) as its primary fuel source instead of relying on glucose from carbohydrates in foods like bread, pasta and potatoes. This metabolic state is often referred to as ‘ketosis’ because the production of ketones increases when the body switches from burning carbs for energy (glucose) which results in an increased rate of fat mobilization/burning while at rest (and during exercise).
Why just fat loss isn't the goal
The carnivore diet is not a weight loss plan.
The goal isn't to just lose weight; it's to have lean muscle mass and healthy organs. The goal isn't just primarily health; it's optimal performance in life, including activity levels! It may seem counterintuitive because most people equate leanness with good health, but what matters most is how well we function as humans rather than how low our BMI (body mass index) is or how much visceral belly fat we have.
Why being fat-adapted is more important
If you’re a meat eater, then going on a Carnivore Diet may be the easiest way to achieve fat adaptation. This is because it allows you to eat as much meat as your heart desires without taking in any carbs and sugars at all.
If you are trying to lose weight on this diet, I have some news: being “fat-adapted” is more important than losing fat (and it can prevent you from gaining muscle).

Many women can use Carnivore to sail through menopause. Dr Lisa Wiedeman has followed a high-fat Carnivore Diet to heal her hormones with no menopausal symptoms, she has also improved her libido, sleep and so much more!
Carnivore Helps with Menopause
A carnivore diet is an all-meat diet, where the only foods eaten are meat and the fat that comes with it. While this sounds like a drastic change from your current eating habits, it may be helpful to consider making this change during menopause.
Menopausal symptoms include hot flashes and night sweats as well as insomnia and restlessness. By eliminating carbohydrates from your diet, you can reduce or eliminate these symptoms. Carnivore also helps with hormones because they feed off of protein which will help stabilize them and balance out the estrogen in your body thus decreasing irritability and mood swings associated with menopause.
Why Fat is Important
It’s no secret that fat is an essential nutrient for humans. As you may have learned in school, fat is an energy source and essential for hormone production. It keeps us warm; it helps us absorb vitamins A, D, E and K; it provides cushioning for our organs; it even helps keep our skin supple and smooth!

How does fasting help with fat loss?
Fasting for weight loss can be a great tool to shed pounds, but knowing what happens in your body when you're not eating is essential. When food is withheld from the body, the body is forced to use its energy stores as fuel. Fat is broken down and used as an energy source, which helps reduce overall fat stores in the body. Fasting also causes the body to start burning fat for energy more quickly. This process usually takes place around 12 hours into fasting; however, it can happen earlier or later depending on how lean you are and how often you practice fasting.
Intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting is a form of dieting in which you fast for short periods and then eat normally. It's become popular recently, with celebrities like Hugh Jackman touting its benefits. There are several different ways to do intermittent fasting:
Fat fasting
The fat-fasting diet is similar to the ketogenic diet because it’s high in fat and involves eating no protein or carbs. It has many of the same benefits as a keto diet—namely, weight loss and improved health—but with less hunger and no need to limit your fat intake.
Prolonged fasting
Prolonged fasting can sometimes be beneficial for weight loss plateaus. If you're struggling with plateauing on your diet and exercise plan, consider adding a longer fast of 24 hours or more once or twice weekly. The key here is not to make it last forever but rather give your body a break from constantly eating while still being able to get the nutrients it needs since the body naturally starts using up fat stores when food isn't consumed for long enough periods of time (more than 24 hours).
For most people, intermittent fasting is the easiest method to lose weight. It’s also one of the more effective ways to do it. Fasting allows you to eat fewer calories throughout the day and still achieve a healthy weight loss goal—without having to count calories or worry about restricting yourself from certain foods. While fasting may not be suitable for everyone, it’s worth trying if you have struggled with weight loss or are looking for an easy way to kick off a new fitness regime.

Carnivore isn't for everyone, but it's the best diet if you're interested in reversing aging. Carnivores eat only meat and fat; they don't eat any plants or carbohydrates. But you must avoid some dangerous foods on Carnivore, especially chicken!
Some Carnivore Foods Age You!
It's important to know that not all carnivore foods are good for you. In fact, some of them can actually accelerate the aging process and make you look older than you really are. The worst offenders include:
1. Chicken as it contains high amounts of oleic acid
2. Dairy products, including cheese, because they contain casein which contains high levels of arachidonic acid that promotes inflammation;
The carnivore diet has many health benefits, including reversing aging. But there are some toxic foods that you should avoid if you're following this plan, especially if your goal is anti-aging and weight loss.
