David Reduced Damage To Knees And Gained Muscle

David’s Keto Carnivore Pain Recovery‍

David struggled with knee pain for years and even had surgery at 15. By age 23, the pain forced him to stop exercising. His diet remained “standard” and he walked with a limp—his health was deteriorating.

‍
Working with a Personal Trainer‍

David then hired a personal trainer, starting with walking, adding weight lifting and running. He lost weight and eased some knee pain, but once he stopped training, the weight—and pain—returned.

‍
Taking Control of His Health‍

Inspired by his father’s premature health decline—a heart attack at 50 and Parkinson’s—David decided to change his path before turning 50. He signed up for a half marathon, only to tear knee cartilage during training. Despite this, he completed an 800 km bike ride for his birthday, although it was grueling.

‍
Starting Keto Carnivore‍

David initially began with a ketogenic diet after recognizing from his mental health background that low-carb could aid mental clarity. In June 2019, after hearing Dr. Shawn Baker on a podcast, he transitioned to a keto carnivore diet, lowering carbs to zero for a month.

‍
A Game Changer for Pain‍

He calls keto carnivore a “game changer” and says it was easier than keto. After an initial bowel adjustment in month two, he’s never looked back. He fasts, eats mostly beef with some dairy and spices, does resistance training, and cycles regularly.

The Benefits of Keto Carnivore‍

David found the 800 km bike ride on keto carnivore much easier than on a standard diet. While others relied on fruity carbs, he only used salt in his hydration. His joints no longer ache and his limp is gone—his body simply feels better.

‍
Support and Encouragement‍

​A friend on keto carnivore supports his journey, and his four children are encouraging, though some family members remain skeptical. David hopes to inspire others and support those seeking better health through keto carnivore eating.

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.
