I found this really pleasant to listen to so I thought I’d share. It’s nice to hear someone talk about the fat loss, satiety, and all the other things that I also experienced when I went carnivore. Murray switched cold turkey and seems to have experienced some unpleasant effects like keto flu, but they resolved after a time.
Summary
- The speaker discovered the carnivore diet through their son, who had successfully lost weight with it.
- The speaker had a history of gout and other health issues, which were not effectively treated by conventional medicine.
- A doctor suggested that diet was the root cause of many diseases, which led the speaker to try the Pritikin diet, resulting in weight loss but not complete gout relief.
- The speaker initially doubted the carnivore diet but was convinced after seeing the positive results on their son and daughter-in-law.
- Adopting the carnivore diet led to significant health improvements, including better mobility, reduced inflammation, and better sleep.
- The speaker experienced a dramatic weight loss, going from 83 kg to 63.7 kg and maintaining a healthy weight around 64-66 kg.

- The speaker and their wife now follow a lifestyle change, including cooking outdoors and walking more, which has improved their overall well-being.
- The speaker expresses skepticism towards the medical and food industries, believing they contribute to health problems.
- The speaker views the carnivore diet as a miraculous and life-changing switch that has opened up new possibilities for their future health.
That’s amazing progress, I’m jealous of your abs!
Since I live in a very hot place, I hadn’t considered the natural heating element, but it makes sense that it would improve. For what it’s worth, I mirror your experience from the hot side. I don’t turn the air conditioning on anymore. I feel great. But I’m mixing variables, I’m not sure how much of that is diet, and how much of that is the sauna.
In some sense, the immediate, and painful, feedback to cheating is a good thing. It makes it easier to stay in the lifestyle. But yes, I really agree, it’s unfair that I can feel a week of pain for one day of cheating.
I think this is a really good thing, we feel what our bodies can do, we get a better baseline, we’re closer to optimal, so when we get back into our old habits we feel how bad that really makes us. We know what it should feel like. That’s a gift!
Thank you very much for sharing your experiences, and the detailed write-up! I’m really gratified things are working out for you!
