⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
The Science Behind Carnivore

1. Your body switches to fat for energy
Because there are almost no carbohydrates, your body enters ketosis — burning fat for fuel instead of glucose.

2. Insulin levels drop
Lower carb intake means lower insulin, which can help with fat loss, blood sugar control, and reduced cravings.

3. High satiety
Protein and fat are very filling. Most people naturally eat fewer calories without tracking food at all.

4. Possible inflammation reduction
Some people report improvements in digestive issues, autoimmune symptoms, and bloating. Scientific evidence is still developing and long-term effects are not fully studied.

🥑 BASIC CARNIVORE RULES
Keep It Simple

Eat until full. No calorie counting required.

Focus on:
Fatty meats (ribeye, mince, lamb) • Eggs • Butter / tallow • Salt • Water

Optional additions:
Cheese • Heavy cream • Pork rinds • Bone broth

Drinks:
Water • Sparkling water • Black coffee (some include it)

The simpler you keep it, especially as a beginner, the better. Beef, eggs, butter, salt, and water. That's the foundation.

🥑 SIMPLE DAILY TEMPLATE
2-Meal Carnivore Approach

Many people find a 2-meal approach works best on carnivore.

Meal 1
4 eggs • Bacon

Meal 2
Large steak (400–600g)

Optional snack:
Cheese • Boiled eggs • Beef jerky

No weighing. No tracking. Eat until you're genuinely satisfied, then stop. Let hunger and satiety guide you — that's the point.

⚠️ SIDE EFFECTS
The First Weeks

When starting, some people experience “keto flu” symptoms:

Headaches • Fatigue • Digestive changes • Electrolyte imbalance

Tips to get through it:
Add salt to your food • Drink plenty of water • Eat enough fat — don't go lean

These usually resolve within 1–2 weeks as your body adapts to running on fat.

👍 POTENTIAL BENEFITS

People who follow the carnivore diet often report:

Weight loss • Reduced cravings • Stable, consistent energy • Simpler meal planning • Better blood sugar control

One of the most underrated benefits is the removal of decision fatigue. You know exactly what you're eating. No labels. No counting. Just food.
