I don't get why you can't just make a hard and fast rule of only eating things that are 5g of carbs or less.

Why the need to go all the way to the carnivore extreme?

For some people, plant foods are bad for their gut. Look into oxalates, phytic acid, antinutrients, phenols, lectins.

And only eating animal products is the answer?

Yes, it can be very healing. Animal products do not contain any oxalates.

Why does it matter what other people do? You do you?

Oh my. I'm not upset about it. I don't care. I'm asking a genuine question Can't Believe It

Was trying to offer an alternative to OP that could be helpful. Sheesh.

For the record: I eat extremely clean. No processed foods or refined sugars for close to three years.

I had a baby five months ago and can’t lose a single lb. It’s very disheartening.

I think I will do it after pesach. Here goes nothing.

Thanks y’all!

Sorry for misunderstanding. You’re another so it gives me the impression of attack.

If you’re already doing the above it won’t be such a huge adaptation. Let us know how it goes!

I did it for a month.
Ate eggs, fish, a little bit of cheese,
butter, chicken, turkey, meat, liver, duck fat, schmaltz, and spices.

Cons:
It wasn't cheap. When you aren't using onions and sauces, the quality of meat really makes a difference. Organic really is better. I didn't realize how much we depend on sauces and veggies to mask the taste of low quality meat.
It got boring.
TMI; my bowel movements were weird.
I didn't lose any weight.

Pros
My skin improved.
I had more energy.
My body was more toned. (I did weight training as well)
I felt full.
No cravings after week 1.

Many of the posters who said they kind of did the carnivore diet, probably didn't.

If you eat vegetables, you aren't doing the carnivore diet.

I eliminated carbs, and I eat primarily protein and vegetables. Again, that is not the carnivore diet.

Carnivore diet is ONLY animals, no plants.

Can you share more? I'm interested in doing sth like this. Did you lose a lot? Did you eliminate salad dressings etc too? How strict were you?

Are you nursing?
If yes, don't try to lose weight eat for your baby.

If not,
You just had a baby, your sleep schedule is all over the place. Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain.

Enjoy your baby don't turn your self into a pretzel trying to do the impossible. People should be more forgiving of them self when they have a baby.
