On today's episode, I'm answering a question from a listener named Michelle who is questioning her approach to weight loss after watching family members lose weight incredibly fast on the carnivore diet while eating just one meal a day. When you're working hard to lose one pound a week and someone else is dropping ten… gosh it's hard not to wonder if you're missing something. In this episode, I break down what is really happening when the scale drops that quickly, why fast weight loss is not always what it seems, and whether low carb eating, the keto diet, and fasting are actually required to lose body fat. We'll talk about the carnivore diet, the truth about ketosis, and the biggest mistake women make when they assume faster weight loss automatically means better results.
