Chris Improved His Diabetes and Mental Health

Chris' Health Issues‍

On Christmas Day 2016, I was admitted to the hospital with an infection on my left arm. It turned out to be necrotizing fasciitis, which required numerous debridement surgeries and skin grafts. I spent seven weeks in the hospital and a year recovering.

In my research on the condition, I discovered how much metabolic health contributes to this condition. I was nearly 300 pounds and a type 2 diabetic. I wasn't taking care of myself at all and felt miserable. Medications were ineffective, and I was getting worse.

‍
Changing to a Keto-Carnivore Diet‍

In April 2018, I finally made the choice to make a change. I did a lot of research and found the ketogenic community. I dove right in. I quickly began losing weight while eating very low carbs and incorporating intermittent fasting.

I forced myself to eat some vegetables (traditional dogma pressured me to) but quickly found the keto-carnivore community after seeing Dr Shawn Baker on the Joe Rogan podcast. Since then, I've been on an all-meat diet and have felt better and better month over month.

Today I am in the best shape of my life, am no longer diabetic, and enjoy living and my family more than ever.

Rowan Improved Cardiovascular Health, Treated Arthritis

After struggling with weight loss and finding keto difficult to maintain, this person discovered the carnivore diet through Shawn Baker's Joe Rogan appearance in December 2017. They lost 36 pounds (from 216 to 180), eliminated arthritis in their left hand (which had a surgically reattached finger), normalized blood pressure from prehypertension, and experienced improved mental clarity and stress response.I was struggling trying to lose weight, and found keto so hard to stick to, so easy to fall off. I heard Shawn Baker on Joe Rogan and decided to look into it. I spent about 2 or 3 weeks checking out the info, and asking people on the Zeroing in on Health forum on Facebook numerous questions. After that, I was convinced it was worth trying keto-carnivore for a month. I began on the keto-carnivore diet on December 12th 2017. I've never even had to consider changing back. I was 216 lbs, and I am now 180. I had arthritis in my left hand, which hand had to have a finger surgically reattached to it after it was ripped off in an accident 13 years prior; but the arthritis went away after 2 weeks keto-carnivore. I had prehypertension, but my blood pressure (measured on three separate occasions) is normal. I feel better, I think clearer, and I respond to stress better than at any time in my life. ​I never intend to stop being a keto-carnivore.
