Here's one of my staples for first 🍴 meal of the day.. Whatever time it is 💯

Great protein content, awesome fat for the body and brain..

I eat this, or a close variant of it just about daily. Sub 2-4oz of rotisserie chicken in place of the beef bologna for a protein boost! Chicken vs beef bologna vs sausage on rotation.

The macros are spot-on 💯

This meal is what catapulted me to lose 60 lbs in 6 months, get metabolically healthy, and feel alive again.

I usually have a second, lighter meal within 3 - 6 hours after. Typically 2-4 more eggs with a small side, or just 8-10oz of Ribeye or Chuck-eye to round out my day and my macros 🖖 🖖 🖖

Hi guys! Changed to a Ketogenic / Carnivore-ish lifestyle August of 2025. Can't say enough positive things..

I'm 57 years old, turning 58 in July. 6'3" tall.

In 2020 I was in the neighborhood of 270 lbs. Lost some weight on my patented "stress and depression diet" for a few years just after covid, but back up to 229 lbs on August 13th 2025. I could see myself hitting a new high soon.

I scoured the internet and YouTube.

Enter Carnivore-ish 🍻

Decided to overhaul my life and go Ketovore.

Since then I've lost over 60 lbs.

No more "Fat Elvis" 💯

A1C was 6.1. Down to 5.1

Triglycerides almost 400. Down to 67.

Bp was Hypertension levels every day.. 140+ over 90+.

Resting Pulse was high - 70s & 80s.

All my blood markers have improved, although LDL cholesterol has risen from roughly 100 to 205. I'm really not worried about that, due to apparently being a Lean Mass Hyper Responder.

For me, I feel carnivore-ish is the "Easy Button". I get to eat the foods I love, and I feel and look better. I'm almost down to my Air force weight from the early 90s!

I'm now metabolically healthy, and looking forward to the future 🍻

Here's my partial list of "bad things"..

Prediabetes - Gone

Metabolic Syndrome - Gone

Hypertension - Gone

Obesity - No More

Overweight - Not now

Triglycerides - Down from 300+

A laundry list of problems.. Gone

Several photos of me from 2018 on.. I ranged anywhere from 250-275 lbs or so. I carried the weight fairly well, but I felt like I was dying.

Photos show some food choices and carnivore mainstays.

Just had to make some Carnivore buns to go along with my lust for a "real" bacon cheeseburger!

2 3oz 80/20 patties, 2 cheddar slices, 3 strips bacon, handful of thin-as-fuck onions, Kinders "The Blend" to season🍻, spicy mustard on bottom bun, and Famous Dave's Devil's Spit sauce on the side.

Fuck yeah..

Started Keto/Carnivore August 13, 2025 at 229 lbs. By mid-March 2026 I'm 169 lbs. Size 40/42" waist down to 34".

I'm 58 years old in July.

60 lbs gone. Feeling better. Blood tests all improved. LDL cholesterol sky high, but I could care less. A1C was 6.2, now 5.1. Triglycerides just shy of 400, down to 67.

Eating twice daily. Usually 6-8 eggs per day, beef patty, bacon, butter, etc..
