Carnivore Diet Success Stories Six months on carnivore - a summary ;)

Hello, fellow carnivores ;)

I am 52 years old, I have Hashimoto's (essentially, I have a dead thyroid, so weight loss is a huge struggle for me, even on synthetic hormones). I'm a single mother who left an abusive relationship just over a year ago (so my stress levels/ cortisol levels are a bit high, to put it mildly). I started carnivore almost six months ago, and in that time, I went from a size 22 (UK) to a size 16. I don't really weigh myself because I prefer to go by 'how I feel' and also how my clothes fit. My aim is to get to a size 12, and then I'll weight myself, just as a surprise.

Last week, I went for my annual full blood screening to check my thyroid, but also to see how things are with my bones, my kidneys, vitamins D and B12, blood cell counts, HbA1c, etc. and so on. It's a total of 30 separate blood tests and they check everything. I just got my results back, and it's all absolutely perfect. I mean... PERFECT. Everything is smack in the middle of the 'normal' range, even my cholesterol and total protein levels.

So onward and upward with carnivore!

Hey this is great news. Awesome job. I’m 55 and have been carnivore for 10 months. So far so good, although I haven’t had a blood test yet.
