I did it for a while but started to really want veggies. I kept thinking about big salads. Plus, I found I started to feel kind of nauseous with all the fat.
guidoLaMoto you don't understand the term "Obligate Carnivore."
You don't understand the term obligate....B12 & Fe... only available in adequate amounts to aboriginal humans via animal sources for food. Modern "vegetarian" sources are artifically fortified.
(Except beans are fairly high in Fe, but most of us can't eat enough beans for it to be a useful source.)
There's really only one diet. Eat only as much good quality food as you need. Most people need 2,000 calories or less per day to maintain their current weight. Eat more than that and you will gain weight, eat less and you will lose weight. The occasional workout does little to alter that equation.

I just did a couple of different google searches:
"define obligate"
"what does obligate mean in context with carnivore"
"what is an obligate carnivore"
"define obligate carnivore"
Not seeing anything suggesting that the only criteria to call an animal an "obligate carnivore" is that they need B12 and iron in adequate amounts to aboriginal humans via animal sources for food.
What I am seeing, is exactly what I said:
an obligate carnivore is an animal that cannot efficiently digest plant matter and MUST rely primarily on meat for food.
Humans are not obligate carnivores. We are omnivores.
If you feed your dog bagged, dry dog food, your obligate carnivore dog is living on a plant based diet. So much for "can't"
I didn't know the definition of faculative, so I looked it up and found... Facultative carnivores are those that also eat non-animal food in addition to animal food. Note that there is no clear line that differentiates facultative carnivores from omnivores; dogs would be considered facultative carnivores
I tried it for 4 weeks and just couldn't stick to it anymore. I have digestive issues and they went away by day 2 of eating carnivore. That was the only benefit I noticed. I had almost no appetite but yet only lost 1 pound during the 4 weeks. There are lots of videos and posts by people saying they lose a lot of weight, but if you dig through the comments, many are not and some even gain and quit it due to that. I only have about 15 lbs to lose, which isn't much but it definitely did not cause any weight loss for me.
It's just too restrictive. At first you start strong thinking maybe you can do this, but after a few weeks, the meat becomes dreadful.
Although I like meat, there's something disgusting about the idea of only eating meat. Everything eaten and put in my body consisting of dead animals. Sort of like becoming a vulture. One noticeable trend over decades for me has been a continual lessening of meat (probably only 15% now).
I'm generally a carnivore before the afternoon meal.
Breakfast is eggs and meat, coffee and a full 16 oz of water. Keeps my appetite under control for the rest of the day.
We eat plenty of high quality protein. No breads, pasta, rice or that sort of thing. Nothing processed, although if everyone is going out for pizza, I'm going too!
Not really a diet, I guess, because I'm never going to change it.
