#1 Best Way To Get FASTER Carnivore Results 2024
Main summary
Key takeaways
Key wellness & productivity strategies from the video (Carnivore / Carnivore-Keto results)
Core principles for faster results
-
Prioritize “protein first,” then adjust fat for your needs
- Focus on hitting an appropriate protein target; don’t obsess over fat at the start.
- Use higher fat when you need therapeutic benefits (e.g., healing, hormones, fat adaptation), especially if ketones/fat oxidation are part of your recovery.
-
Don’t get derailed by perfection or rigid rules
- “Baby steps” > strict 100% compliance.
- If a “perfect” approach makes you inconsistent (or triggers symptoms/binge behavior), it’s not serving you.
-
Avoid obsessive tracking once you’re stable
- Tracking can help early on to ensure you’re eating enough protein.
- Long-term, over-measuring (glucose/ketones/scale) can increase anxiety and slow progress.
Practical starting approach (how to begin)
-
Start with animal foods you tolerate and can sustain
- Variety is allowed if it improves adherence (e.g., eggs, different meats, some dairy/sweeteners if tolerated).
- The best plan is the one you can stick with while healing.
-
Use a step-down style rather than “all restrictions at once”
- Some people do better easing in (including temporary dairy/stevia) before removing items that worsen digestion/pain.
-
Meal timing should match your body
- OMAD/one-meal-a-day may not be ideal for women long-term, depending on hormones, energy, and individual response.
- Adjust meals for energy and satiety; convenience is fine as long as it supports recovery.
Macros & fat-to-protein guidance
-
Protein guidance
- Suggested range: roughly 0.8 g per pound of lean body mass up to 1 g per pound of desired body weight.
- High protein can support stability and energy once anxiety about numbers is reduced.
-
Fat guidance
- Start higher fat if you’re targeting healing, hormone support, fat adaptation, or need extra energy.
- Fat needs vary by season and goals (healing vs. body comp changes).
Calories & “faster results”
-
Don’t start with calorie counting
- The emphasis is on macros and food quality/tolerability, not calorie math.
-
Calories matter secondarily
- The main goal is sending the right metabolic signals (enough dietary fat/protein) so the body can regulate.
- Initial weight gain or stabilization can be part of healing (don’t panic).
Fasting, dieting intensity, and what to avoid
-
Extended fasting may backfire early for some people
- The guest reports that fasting increased ketones/autophagy and reduced pain short-term, but set her back long-term due to digestion issues after breaking the fast.
- General stance: avoid over-fasting; don’t fast unless stable and appropriate for the situation.
-
Avoid “fast-forward” extremes
- Don’t stack multiple stressors at once (over-restriction + fasting + intense routines).
- Build consistency and nourishment first.
Signs hormones/health are improving (wellness feedback loop)
If you’re healing/regulated, expect:
- Sleeping through the night
- Good daytime energy
- Not feeling wired/restless
- Better mood and conversation capacity
- Willingness/desire to be active
If you feel worse during the day, reassess—often by increasing fat and/or adjusting your plan.
Coffee/caffeine guidance (individualized)
- Coffee may be tolerated later, but can cause anxiety when reintroduced after a long break.
- Suggested approach:
- Don’t treat coffee as a requirement.
- Consider breaks and reintroduction to see how your body responds.
“Best vs Worst” Carnivore foods for faster results
Top “best” foods mentioned (for faster Carnivore outcomes)
-
SE / “Suet” (kidney fat)
- Highlighted for steric acid; discussed as supporting fat adaptation and energy (mitochondrial function).
-
Lamb
- Especially if histamine intolerance/mood issues are present.
-
Beef
- Easy-access, good foundation.
-
Butter (in appropriate amounts)
- Mentioned for gut-support benefits (butyrate).
-
Seafood
- Oysters, shrimp, sardines; emphasized for minerals.
-
Eggs
- Duck/quail included as additional options.
-
Elk / Bison
- Variety + quality protein.
-
Organs
- Suggested as a “bonus” category.
“Worst” foods / patterns (what can slow results)
-
Over-reliance on bacon + chicken wings
- Framed as too heavy in polyunsaturated fats, whereas saturated fat (and steric-acid sources) may support oxidation better.
-
Pork rinds / processed “carnivore-adjacent” snacks + junk substitutes
- Example: A McDonald’s burger with “toppings” may fit “animal-based” on paper, but isn’t optimal.
-
“Fatty latte / heavy cream in coffee / MCT + extra fats while dieting” during plateaus
- Concern: can deliver calories quickly without the same satiety/hormone support as eating fat alongside protein and whole meals.
-
“Stick of butter” as a blanket recommendation
- In the right context it can be fine; the issue is when people overdo it.
Self-care and mindset themes emphasized
-
Safety & consistency beat intensity
- If something worsens digestion, mood, sleep, or consistency, modify it.
-
Respect the “healing season”
- Your body may need time before it burns stored fat.
-
Nourish rather than punish
- “Don’t restrict when starting.”
- Eat to satiety (if gaining weight, stop slightly below “stuffed” rather than going to a “Thanksgiving full” level).
