Hi Jay. The body seems determined to hold on to calories. Millions of years of evolution. Possibly since we were fish! My problem is milk in my tea and drinking it against my better judgement. Having said that, I'm around your age and also dropped around 50 pounds in a year ish. I'd suggest lifting weights 2 or 3 times a week just to build muscle. Just lift once to failure. Legs back chest shoulders. Lifting this way only takes 30 minutes, 2 or 3 times a week. We older guys need muscle to stay healthy long term. Your diet is just super 👌.

I’m a 58 yr old male, 5’ 10”. I too switched from a “dirty” carnivore to the lion diet about four months in and have had better results. But there is a little science to it if you really want to to dial-in. I had to weigh and track my food (my fitness pal) which I despise doing. But I needed to find my baseline of how many calories of fat and protein I needed a day because yeah, once you’re not obese anymore you can yo yo and especially stall on carnivore. Maybe not everyone has these issues but I did and it sounds like you do too. Good luck.

interesting update. not sure about thinking cows/ruminants don't eat bugs. they eat hundreds of bugs in the grass and even small baby rodents in those grasses (they are really large relentless lawn mowers). i lived near deer for 4 years and they eat more variety too, fruit, nuts, stems, twigs, and leaves, mushrooms, and tender spring grass...of course bugs are on all of those. watched a vid on chickens and their digestive tracts. a chicken farmer explained they digest their food extremely well. starts with the beak then lands in the crop for 12 hours! then passes into the gizzard for grinding and onto the cecum where bacteria takes over to break food down further. but i guess it could be true that cows and deer do a better job. Good luck on lion diet...i guess i'm not 100% sold on it yet. i also think about lions/cats eating grass often and not because they are sick necessarily. they say it aids digestion and they also eat the vegetation in the stomach of their pray. anyway it will be great to watch along with you on this journey. your videos are always well done and helpful and your insights into the information we find along this meat based way of eating presented clearly.

I’ve learned that building some muscle will help with blood sugar control. And for that, I recommend bodyweight calisthenics and walking.

Losing weight is simply calories in vs. calories out. If you are at a plateau perhaps you need to more strictly measure how many calories you are eating. A calorie calculator will tell you how many calories you can eat to maintain your current weight as well as how much to eat if your goal is to lose weight.

You will very quickly find if you feel better with more fat or protein and which would be best for your fat loss.

In fact, that was what got me started on carnivore in the first place.

I’m only 5 minutes in but do you weight your portions and count the calories? If you’re in a calorie deficit you should start losing again. 45 minutes of cardio everyday will help you burn more calories. At least 300 a day. Over a week that’s 2100 calories burned.

Technically you weren't eating "dirty" carnivore. All meats are allowed on the carnivore diet, beef, pork, chicken, turkey, lamb. Seasonings and sauces with any plant based ingredients, coffee, tea, etc. would have made it "dirty". Eating just beef and lamb and water, now that's going to really be a test. I love grass fed beef but have never been a fan of lamb. Not sure I could do the lion diet to be honest. Switching to OMAD might also be helpful. If you can do 2MAD, OMAD shouldn't be terribly difficult. I did OMAD so I could afford to eat only grass fed beef, free range eggs and chicken, Duroc pork, and uncured bacon (usually Applegate). Mainly ate beef as it's more filling and makes you feel fuller longer than chicken. Used "lite salt" for the potassium, along with Himalayan pink salt because it tastes better. Good luck on the Lion Diet!

Weight training (or resistance bands if you can't afford weights or a gym membership) to build muscle might also help break your plateau. Also, measuring is better than weighing.
