He Went From a 3XL to a Large in Seven Months Eating Mostly Beef, Butter, and Eggs
3 min read · RealCase summary
Pat started a carnivore diet at 301 pounds on February 28, built around beef, butter, bacon, and eggs with occasional chicken, pork, or seafood, combined with intermittent fasting — skipping breakfast, drinking black coffee or coffee with heavy cream in the mornings, and eating only lunch and dinner.
Over seven months he lost 82 pounds, reaching 219 pounds, with roughly 25 pounds left to reach his goal. His waist went from 42 inches to 34, and his shirt size dropped from 3XL-4XL down to a loose Large.
Beyond the scale, Pat said his snoring stopped, his sleep and energy improved, joint pain and morning stiffness eased, and his resting heart rate dropped. He has pointed to wanting to keep up with his 2-year-old son as the main motivation that kept him consistent through difficult stretches.
