From Viral Illness to Cancer Diagnosis
In 1996 Mike contracted Epstein–Barr virus; eighteen exhausting months later a hospital stay revealed Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Surgeons operated, followed by chemotherapy and radiation. Although declared cancer-free, the bone-deep fatigue never lifted. Some mornings he could not rise from bed, let alone work.

Diabetes, Weight Gain, and Medical Frustration
While struggling with residual exhaustion Mike received a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Dietary tweaks failed; weight climbed and physicians urged exercise as a cure-all. After twenty years adhering to their plan he felt worse, heavier, and utterly defeated.

Fasting, Keto, and the Discovery of Keto-Carnivore
Frustrated, Mike dove into his own research. Dr Jason Fung’s lectures on therapeutic fasting inspired an experiment: each extended fast left him feeling measurably better. YouTube introduced ketogenic principles, and low-carb eating combined well with fasting—except for the mountain of vegetables keto gurus prescribed. Mike never cared for vegetables, and continual emphasis on them felt burdensome. Further digging uncovered the healing simplicity of a meat-focused keto-carnivore pattern, which eliminated the plant matter without compromising ketosis.

A Seamless Transition and Dramatic Results
Fourteen months ago Mike dropped the greens entirely. Sacrifice never entered the equation; he embraced roast beef, steaks, eggs, butter, and salt with enthusiasm. Fatigue lifted, insulin sensitivity returned, and twenty-five kilograms melted away across the keto then keto-carnivore phases. At his latest appointment the endocrinologist, scanning perfect labs, asked, “Why are you here?”

Life on One Evening Meal and Periodic Long Fasts
Mike typically takes his sole meal at six in the evening—rib-eye or brisket, sometimes eggs or bacon—then forgets food until the next night. Pre-keto-carnivore he could barely skip breakfast for a routine blood draw; now he often glides into spontaneous fasts, occasionally extending them to fourteen days. Hunger seldom registers, and mental clarity remains high throughout.

Medication-Free Health and a Resolve Never to Return
​Every prescription once lined up on Mike’s nightstand has been discarded. Muscular tone improves, energy feels abundant, and post-cancer life finally matches the vibrant future he envisioned in recovery. After six to seven years of low-carb living culminating in strict keto-carnivore discipline, Mike vows he is “never going back.” The lifestyle that restored his health continues to protect it—day after day, fast after fast, steak after steak.
