Carnivore Diet Before and After: 3 Real Weight Loss Results

The carnivore diet — eating only animal products — is one of the most debated ways to lose weight. Whatever you think of it, these three carnivore diet results are real, sourced, and specific about what each person ate and how long it took.

Carnivore diet success stories

Powerlifter Hadi Doumit switched to a strict carnivore diet and lost 191 pounds in one year. He didn't go to the gym during that stretch, so he credits the result entirely to the change in diet.

Carnivore diet results for women

Laura Spath spent years cycling through diets that didn't last. Working full-time and raising two children, she moved to an animal-products-only diet and lost 120 pounds — and says it's the first approach that let her keep the weight off long term.

The beef and butter version: 82 pounds in seven months

Pat started at 301 pounds on a carnivore diet built around beef, butter, bacon, and eggs, usually skipping breakfast and eating only lunch and dinner with black coffee. Seven months later he weighed 219 pounds, his waist had gone from 42 to 34 inches, and his shirts from 3XL–4XL to large.

Carnivore diet weight loss per week

Averaged over their timelines, Hadi's loss works out to more than three and a half pounds a week and Pat's to under three — both starting from high weights, where early losses tend to be faster. None of these stories report 30-day results specifically, so be wary of any single-month claim.

These are individual results, not medical advice. An all-meat diet is a big change, and long-term effects are still debated, so talk to a doctor before trying it — especially if you have heart, kidney, or cholesterol concerns.
