Im going to do the carnivore diet and commit to it for at least one week starting Saturday. I just like to switch things up and try new things. In the past when iv run carbs very low i really leaned out. Any suggestions for anyone that has done this before?

Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains all have many health-promoting properties so I do not know why the carnivore diet has seemed to become so popular, at least in the fitness world. With low carbs you will lose several pounds of water weight in a couple days so you will seem leaner. Otherwise leaning out results from a caloric deficit.

From my experiences of just generally going low carb in the past i think its easier to stay in a deficit, think you get less cravings. Carbs are tasty as hell once you decide its not an option its easier to eat less. plus the thermal effect of food. The way I see it it is fat can turn into fat the fastest because wll its already fat... lol... carbs second, protein last
not saying its a "healthy" diet or ideal but for someone who wants to lean out (not just the obvious water weight) deciding im just not gonna east carbs has a high adherence...

I have done this and the results are both positive and negative for me:
1- I often felt hungry or like I was missing something within an hour of the last meal.
2- I lost motivation to train as gradually stuff seemed heavier and workouts became a grind even with plenty of calories
3- cramps and strains, this type of eating can dehydrate you.
4- feeling colder…both a plus and a negative
5- always lost weight even with 3000 plus cals a day but unlike others I was always eating 5-6 times daily, huge amounts of protein
6- when I added carbs back in, all those negatives went away…
I had some better training with “the anabolic diet” that allowed for carb loading on weekends…
It’s effective, just tough, takes discipline…yes, helps control insulin, but for muscle growth, insulin is actually a good thing."A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Yeah your right, i know my strength will go down while on this diet but it comes right back when you add in carbs. My plan would be to do more feeder type pump workouts so i dont have to get mind ****ed with watching my strength go down. only only committing for a week and will reassess. I know about 2 years ago i did basically this and get shredded. Im like a legit 10% and to get absolutely shredded its hard. I gotta do hard **** like this is the way i see it. It works. Its not JUST water weight...

I crave meat/fat much more than carbs per se when hungry, so from an appetite management standpoint, I can understand the motive, but since actual fat loss is a matter of calories, and eliminating fruits and vegetables entirely is pretty much indisputably a bad idea, why not just eat a balanced diet and count your calories while emphasizing meat?
Bench: 350
Squat: 405
Deadlift: 505

Let me add some positives of this diet
1- energy burst. Not sure if it’s just greater absorption of caffeine or the ketones….For awhile I was like a different person, just supercharged. But the body adapts over time and it wears off.
2- skin never looked better. Hair did thin however.
3- definitely lost weight even though I ate a ton…I mean really, it’d be HARD to gain weight eating just protein and fat…the insulin is the reason why it’s NOT just calories alone, hormone manipulation is absolutely 100% part of it, particularly for the pre diabetes folks out there. This will change your blood lipid profile for the better.
4- the easy part is this…eggs, meat, fish, cheese, fats, some greens…but boring in that way."A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

greens are not part of the carnivore diet….
why do you want to be 7% I don’t think you realize how lean that is or how unhealthy

For what reason? I mean... being below 10% bodyfat offers no performance or health benefit at all, and in fact can actually hurt you in terms of those variables to a significant degree.
I don't really rely on things like DEXA tho... too many chances for results to be skewed... many people who test leaner or less lean than they appear, etc..."When I die, I hope it's early in the morning so I don't have to go to work that day for no reason"
