Following alternate day fasting (32-40 hours) and eating primarily untrimmed ribeye beef, Raymond transformed from a sedentary lifestyle to intense workouts including Orange Theory Fitness, Shotokan Karate, and Jiu Jitsu, often in fasted states exceeding 30 hours. His strength and endurance continue improving as he tightens his diet to ribeye and salt.

Brad, in his mid-50s, observed that older adults often avoid animal-based foods despite needing those nutrients most, leading to frailty and deterioration.

Dr. Anthony Chaffee learned about plant toxins and carcinogens in a cancer biology class 20 years ago, which inspired him to eliminate all foods except meat, eggs, and milk.

As a hospitalist he now witnesses rampant malnutrition, sarcopenia, and cognitive decline among elderly patients fed low-protein, seed-oil-laden hospital meals—and sees quick improvements when statins and processed foods are removed. Ahmad plans to launch a lifestyle-medicine clinic that uses keto-carnivore nutrition, animal fats, and personalized coaching to reverse metabolic disease, autoimmunity, and frailty while reducing dependence on pharmaceuticals.

Inspired, they now run a regenerative cattle farm and lead the “New Zealand Sugar-Free” community.

Charlie traded repeated VA “calories-in, calories-out” lectures and a looming diabetes diagnosis for a self-directed keto-carnivore approach.

Now seventy, he hikes mountains, rows sculls, and plans to coach others in the simple power of meat-focused nutrition.

Pieter, a 6' 4″ Dutch dietician, battled extreme post-meal fatigue, embarrassing daytime narcolepsy, eczema, and crippling hay-fever attacks that sidelined him for months each summer. Low-carb and standard keto eased symptoms but never solved them. In 2019 he adopted a strict keto-carnivore diet—eggs, bacon, ruminant meat—and within eight weeks his weight slipped from nearly 200 lbs to the 172 lbs he carried at age twenty, fatigue vanished, eczema cleared once dairy was removed, and hay fever shrank to a mild morning sniffle. Re-introducing grains or keto sweets brought symptoms roaring back, so Pieter now coaches clients on the healing power of strict keto-carnivore nutrition.
