David improves IBS, Dental Hygiene, Sciatic Issues

David’s Journey: How the Keto-Carnivore Diet Helped Him Overcome IBS and Sciatic Pain

David is 30 years old and living in South Louisiana. He’s been following the keto-carnivore diet for the past 7 months, and has experienced weight loss, muscle gains, better dental hygiene, and has eliminated his IBS and sciatic issues.


The Affordable and Accessible Nature of the Keto-Carnivore Diet

“The results of my experience have been incredible!” David shares. “I had a very poor diet going into it, everything was processed and was hardly taking in any whole foods at all.” David notes that he’s been able to follow an animal-based diet with foods that are “cheap and easy to access”.

Contrary to what many critics will say, the keto-carnivore diet does not need to include expensive cuts of meat or higher priced eggs and dairy items. It’s generally understood and accepted in the keto-carnivore and low-carb communities that you should eat the best food that you can afford.


Keto-Carnivore-Friendly Fast Food Options for People on the Go

David’s is on the road a lot during the week for work, so he typically finds keto-carnivore-friendly options for lunch at fast food restaurants. “In the morning, I eat 5 eggs with cheese and butter. For lunch, I’ll usually stop at Burger King and order patties with cheese on top. At night is when I have steak and meat meals.” David takes a less restrictive approach to his diet, and occasionally will include a sauce, mustard or spices to season his meat.


Building Muscle, Losing Fat: The Impact of the Keto-Carnivore Diet on David’s Body

Before starting the keto-carnivore diet, David weighed 195 pounds, and has lost 30 pounds in the last seven months. For many years, David had struggled with gastrointestinal issues such as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), and his family has a history of diverticulitis, which occurs when small, bulging pouches (diverticula) that develop in the digestive tract become inflamed or infected.

Following a meat-based diet, David has been able to reduce inflammation and avoid flare ups of these conditions. “After a few weeks, my GI symptoms completely disappeared! It’s something I had suffered with every day, so that was a huge improvement for me.” Another interesting improvement for David was with his dental hygiene. Since following the keto-carnivore diet, he noticed significantly less plaque on his teeth and does not have inflammation in his gums.

Even without regular visits to the gym or a strenuous workout schedule, David has been able to build muscle while losing fat over the last seven months. “It was unbelievable how quickly I was able to gain muscle,” David recalls. Losing 30 pounds while on the diet has also allowed David to relieve sciatic pain and other back issues he had dealt with for years. “All the instability I had went away, and I was able to gain more rigidity and strength in my muscles.”


Keto-Carnivore Diet Myths Debunked: You Don’t Need Expensive Cuts of Meat to Succeed

​Socially, David has found it quite easy to stick to the keto-carnivore diet, he finds most restaurants and parties he goes to offer some meat options. “The keto-carnivore diet has really changed my life,” he says. “I’m only 7 months in, and I look forward to what a few years will do.”

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.
