Mike, a firefighter and former college athlete from California, struggled with severe gastrointestinal issues, acne, and anxiety since childhood. His health worsened after a serious brain surgery in college and a later diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. Despite trying gluten-free, paleo, and keto diets, he still suffered from bloating and digestive distress. In 2018, inspired by a Joe Rogan interview with Jordan Peterson, he adopted a strict keto-carnivore diet. Within days, his symptoms dramatically improved. Today, Mike thrives on a diet of red meat and eggs, credits the lifestyle with helping him recover from severe illness and injury, and reports complete resolution of his GI issues.

Francesco from Italy suffered from psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, and debilitating stomach pain for years despite trying elimination diets, medications, and paleo protocols.

Lori, 52, shed 50 lbs on keto yet stalled a few pounds shy of goal. Switching to a strict keto-carnivore plan broke the plateau in eight weeks: 13 lbs lost, belly bloat gone, body-fat down 2.3 percentage points, muscle up 4.5 points, thyroid autoimmunity silent and workouts stronger than ever—all while eating satisfying meat, eggs and coffee with cream, no macro-tracking or hunger.

Melissa adopted a keto-carnivore diet in 2016 while caring for her daughter, who was fighting brain cancer. After her daughter’s passing, Melissa used keto-carnivore to address her own endometrial cancer, conquer a lifelong sugar addiction, and regain vibrant energy at 66. When her husband Tom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2022, she insisted he join her. Six months of bacon, eggs, rib-eyes, and lamb erased his postoperative pain, restored lost muscle, and left both spouses healthier than before cancer entered their lives.

Michael, a 55-year-old long-haul trucker, banished crippling GERD, hand arthritis, depression and a lifetime of weight gain after switching from diner food to a strict keto-carnivore regimen. One year in, he has dropped from 284 lbs to the brink of his healthy goal, eats one steak-heavy meal a day from a portable grill in his cab and no longer needs daily antacids or pain relievers—even on grueling cross-country hauls.

Eric, 63, suffered a heart attack in 2007, hypertension, obesity, severe psoriasis, neuropathy, depression and “statin shuffle” until switching from a low-fat, plant-heavy diet to two years of low-carb-high-fat and then one full year of strict keto-carnivore eating. Every major symptom—chronic foot pain, psoriasis, facial redness, eye bags, bloating—vanished; triglycerides plummeted so dramatically that his cardiologist removed an 80 mg lifelong statin. Eric now works construction, hikes pain-free and is training to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail at 65.

Chris was hospitalized with necrotizing fasciitis on Christmas Day 2016, weighing nearly 300 pounds with type 2 diabetes and multiple health issues.

Ed started the carnivore diet in July 2018 and lost 40 pounds, achieving a healthy BMI for the first time in decades.

After nine months of strict adherence, he added back some vegetables like avocado and cucumber while maintaining 90% carnivore eating.

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.
