William got his life back on carnivore diet

William found himself at a challenging point in his life. He felt sick mentally, physically and emotionally. He was watching his health slip away, and his weight had gotten up to two hundred fifty three pounds.

Anxiety, Depression

Two of the most common symptoms that people experience, often secondary to chronic inflammation in the body and brain, are anxiety and depression. Often, these issues reflect the brain’s loss over the use of energy, an issue that many emotional or brain-related disorders have in common. Too much uncontrolled energy, and anxiety results. Running out of fuel, causing oxidative stress, is often perceived as depression. William experienced both of these symptoms.

Debilitating Joint Pains

The body’s systemic inflammation did not stop there, but also affected William’s joints, resulting in “debilitating joint pains especially my right hip.”

Overall Energy

William also found himself with generalized aches and pains, and felt groggy often, with poor energy levels.

Starting Carnivore

William finally found something to try, and decided to commit to a new carnivore lifestyle: “I started Carnivore way of eating 2/1/ 2019 at 253 lbs.”

Progress With Rebuilding Health

He primarily tried the carnivore diet in a quest to improve his health, and was rewarded with some progress.

By June 20th 2019, four months after starting his carnivore diet journey, William had lost an incredible 103 pounds. His waist shrunk from 47 inches to 32 inches. That’s a huge improvement in waist to height ratio, which is a proxy measurement that correlates to visceral fat. When someone’s weight is mostly around their middle, it represents fat accumulations around the abdominal organs.

Visceral fat is the type of fat that contributes to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, eating disorders, and a generally inflamed and sick health state.

Cascade of Benefits

As the inflammation in his body healed, William saw his problems dissolve and his health return. He is jubilant, saying “Waking every morning with no grogginess, ample energy throughout the day, and zero aches, pain or discomfort anywhere in my body is a true blessing. Zero Carb/ Carnivore not only gave me my life back, for the first time in decades, I feel ALIVE!!”

Weight Loss is a Bonus

Remembering that William struck out on this nutritional journey in search of a way to restore his health, it’s no surprise that he actually sees the weight loss as an added bonus. “This way of eating is the only way I’ve found that gave me my health back. The fat loss was a bonus that I didn’t expect but am so grateful for.”

Thankful

William would go on to heal from his other symptoms, seeing his pain subside and his energy soar. He is truly thankful for the knowledge, inspiration and guidance that showed him this path, and provided the learning resources for him to pull off this transformation. “ Thank you so much to Dr. Baker and all the Veteran Carnivores I’ve learned from!”

“It’s been a life-changing experience. I feel like a teenager again with no pain or sickness.”
