Hey there, everybody! Ive always been a lurker on these kinds of boards and now i’m finally posting ib the hopes that somebody out there might have an answer for me. I’d been doing keto from 2016 to this january,January, and lots of fasting too for health and weight loss. In January I switched to carnivore and saw what was left of my chronic depression disappear and an abundance of energy come into my life, plus my symptoms from the moderate to severe arthritis in my neck are almost completely nonexistent; that includes the deterioration of strength in my right arm.
Now, I am not here to prostilitize the carnivore diet. I’m here because I started these diets for thjr weight loss but stayed for the health benefits. I seem to be stuck at a strange point where i’m mostly lean in every part of my body, except my torso. I can fast for weeks down to 233, refeed and go up to 255, but if I let my diet slip for even a few days aftet, I’ll go back up to 268 which is the point I can’t seem to get below without fasting. It erks me because I see constantly before and after photos that show thjr end point being a very lean form, but I still look fat no matter how strict or religiously I adhere to the diet, despite the fact that I train frequently.
Does anybody have an answer for me that will help?
Thank you
