Ron Got Rid Of Skin Tags, Snoring, Back Pain, Diverticulosis, Toenail Fungus, Anxiety

Early Life and the Weight Gain

Ron grew up near the Adirondacks in upstate New York working in his family’s construction business. While he was always active, his diet was strictly Standard American. In high school, he stood 5'6" and weighed 205 pounds with a 36-inch waist. The physical labor kept him somewhat in check for a while, but once he switched to a desk job in his 40s, his weight shot up to 285 pounds.


A Serious Health Wake-up Call

Ron’s health declined with time. Gallstones and a perforated colon were warnings, but the real jolt came in January 2022 when he was hit with Bell’s Palsy. His brother had suffered a stroke the year prior, and it was a sobering reminder of his own vulnerability. With his daughters in mind, Ron decided something had to change.


Discovering Keto Carnivore

Everything shifted after watching Dr. Jordan Peterson’s interview on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Inspired, Ron dove headfirst into the keto carnivore lifestyle. He immediately resonated with the simplicity of it: “I love meat!” he said. The early weeks were challenging—he experienced brain fog and digestive discomfort—but by week three, he was feeling better than ever.


Transformation in Under a Year

In less than a year, Ron lost an astounding 100 pounds. Along with the weight, he said goodbye to snoring, skin tags, diverticulitis, toe fungus, and back pain. His energy skyrocketed and, as he puts it, his sex life has never been better. His wife also embraced the diet and lost 40 pounds.


Making It Work Daily

Ron and his wife shop strategically, grabbing sales and supplementing lean cuts of steak with eggs or added fat to stay full. He encourages others to give the diet a solid 90 days before judging its effects, emphasizing that the first few weeks can feel rough but are worth it.


Real Life Balance

When football season returned, Ron allowed himself some beer. While he didn’t feel terrible, he noticed more beer made it easier to reach for junk food—so now he keeps it limited to one or two.


Life After 100 Pounds Lost

​At 52, Ron feels like he’s been given a second chance. He plays guitar, writes music, walks through amusement parks without needing to stop, and shares his story with others. “You lose 100 pounds,” he says, “that kind of credibility gets people to listen.”

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.
