IDK what a weight-loss diet is, to me anything that results in weight-loss and it even has to do something with it… To me, it’s carnivore and that’s it. I’ve been trying to lose fat since a decade and I see no chance for it without carnivore at all at this point. I tried everything I was willing to.
But it’s only about calories to me (not like I can control them except through controlling what I eat). My fat-loss, I mean, of course it matters how I eat and I appreciate other benefits even more than fat-loss.
Not everyone needs tweaking. But not everyone can lose fat quickly, I think.
Carnivore is wonderful to me regarding satiation - if I eat a significant amount of meat, at least. (If the meat is too little, the magic can’t happen, sadly and my discipline wavers…) I don’t even think about my signals. I eat when I am hungry, it’s quite automatic to me and stop when something (Perfect Satiation, I love that) makes me stop. I only need to wonder about satiation if I don’t have meat or very little or when I start to eat carbs. It’s very automatic on carnivore and I end up eating less than usual, just what I need. But still enough.
If I wanted to add calories, I would add not satiating items. Fatty meat is top satiating, egg is okay, cream and added fat is very bad at it. I have a wide enough range this way.
I experimented with things a lot in the last decade. Too low calorie never worked, just what you wrote, it worked for days (I felt okay and satiated) then big hunger and higher calorie days, I had the same. But it was on OMAD and without any meat. Meat works better. I have these things, certain items are way more effective. I can eat 3000 kcal carby food and I am hungrier than after 1500 kcal with fatty meat and no plants… And I could do this for many days in row. I simply massively overate on high-carb, all the time. I lost fat on low-carb but it stopped. I stall forever on simple keto now. But fatty meat… That should work. I even have 1500 kcal days just without plants but it needs some control and I don’t have that so I fall off the wagon. With lots of meat, I don’t need to do anything else, I chill and eat and things go well. As far as I can tell based on my tiny experience.
Even less experience about that but it seems fat percentage doesn’t matter as long as my fat is fat tissue or it’s in my protein sources. I tried 80% fat, it works like my usual 65. But the latter is more comfortable to me (all my typical food is like that) so I keep 80+% fat for my future when I will need more energy, no calorie deficit so I can afford delicious but not satiating lard or cream galore… Those will be the nice days. I love fat and it’s a tad uncomfortable to minimize it (and everything else. I basically try to eat as little carbs, protein and fat as I can in the last decade as it’s the right attitude in my case. it’s often still too much but carnivore helped tremendously. well, on carnivore I changed it to eating as much as possible for a while… but now that I am used to it, the two are quite close. as little as possible and as much as possible. they get farther from each other as I add carbs. I always could eat a ton when already satiated, carbs are frightening).
Having less meals are useful sometimes if eating less or being more satiated is our goal. I often need more meals on carnivore as my meals got smaller but it matters how hungry I am… But I never had any luck with tweaks. I need a good woe where I effortlessly eat properly and lose fat, without thinking much about such things. I put so much thoughts and efforts into my zero loss in the last several years before I started to flirt with carnivore… They surely would have been helpful for the disciplined ones though.
You guys are great, not one doubt about that!!!
I learned these amounts when I drank wine with 20% sugar content on keto for various reasons…

now try to make some sense out of that, but they say it works.
