This Week's Roundup
Okay, so this week the carnivore community is getting practical about fat loss, and Steak and Butter Gal is leading the charge. Her video "The Laziest Way To Make Your Body Kill Visceral Fat" is making the rounds, and honestly? I love that she's leaning into the "lazy" angle because let's be real, most of us didn't come to carnivore to complicate our lives. She's also teaming up with Robert Sikes from Keto Savage, which shows how the carnivore and keto communities keep cross-pollinating in interesting ways.
What's got me excited is seeing the community-building side of things really taking off. Bella's pushing her 90-Day Transformation Challenge and the 2026 Montana Meatup, and there's something happening here that goes beyond just "eat meat, feel better." People want connection, accountability, and yes, apparently raw butter from actual farms. The fact that she's got discount codes for everything from tallow skincare to beef suet tells you where this community is heading: it's not just a diet anymore, it's a whole lifestyle ecosystem with its own economy.
Here's what strikes me this week: we're watching carnivore evolve from fringe elimination diet to full-blown subculture, complete with in-person events, transformation challenges, and creator collaborations. Whether that's a good thing depends on who you ask, but you can't deny the energy is there.

Doctor Warns: The Carnivore Diet Causes Diabetes
Wow, this video is hitting nerves in the carnivore community - and for good reason. The comments are absolutely roasting Layne Norton, and it's clear why. When someone like the commenter who reversed their diabetes at 66 shares their real experience, it totally demolishes these blanket medical claims. The emotional responses show how personal nutrition is. People aren't just statistics - they're living proof that carnivore can transform metabolic health. With comments like "got blood tests, as far away from diabetes as possible," it's hard to argue against real-world results. What matters most here is the lived experience. These commenters aren't just trolling - they're sharing genuine health transformations. And that matters way more than any theoretical medical argument.
I beat the world record by 4 seconds at 50 years old!
What an incredible testament to the power of the carnivore diet! Dr. Baker's world record at 50 years old isn't just about athletic performance, it's a real-world demonstration of how nutrition transforms health. The community comments absolutely blow me away - like the strength coach whose fighter dropped 120 pounds and another client reversing heart failure. These stories aren't just anecdotes, they're proof that something profound is happening with this way of eating. One commenter nailed it when they said eliminating carbs makes you "reassess the entire idea of eating them" - it's like discovering a hidden metabolic switch. Check out our weight loss results to see more transformations like these. What's most exciting is how people are experiencing real healing, not just weight loss. From testosterone improvements to massive energy gains, the carnivore approach is showing mainstream medicine that nutrition isn't just about calories - it's about fundamental cellular health. Dr. Baker is leading a revolution, one record and recovery at a time.
EASY Carnivore Potato Chips - Crunchy & Delicious
Okay, so this video is basically proving that carnivore doesn't mean saying goodbye to crispy snacks! Emma's showing us how to make what sounds like legit potato chip alternatives with just two ingredients. The community is totally rallying around her, and honestly, the supportive comments are just as awesome as the recipe. What's really cool is how many viewers are defending her against potential negativity. There's this amazing 67-year-old viewer who basically said Emma is their go-to resource when getting back on carnivore - how awesome is that? The comments are basically a masterclass in positive community support, with people saying things like "Keep being you" and "Don't change for anyone." Community is saying these kinds of recipe hacks are game-changers for people feeling restricted on carnivore. If you're curious about making crunchy alternatives that fit the diet, this looks like a total win. Just another example of how creative people are getting to make carnivore feel sustainable and fun.
Why Anti Nutrients Are More Dangerous Than You Think
Dr. Chaffee's video on anti-nutrients is hitting hard with the carnivore community. Folks in the comments are clearly resonating with the message, especially older viewers like the 76-year-old sharing how this approach transformed his health. The discussion around anti-nutrients feels like a game-changer for people struggling with inflammation and digestive issues. I love how some commenters are getting creative, like calling anti-nutrients "chelators" to spark curiosity instead of immediate pushback. If you're curious about how diet impacts your body's inflammation, check out our inflammation research. What's fascinating is how personal nutrition can be - like the commenter who can't tolerate tortillas anymore after going carnivore. It's a reminder that our bodies adapt and change, and what worked for our grandparents might not work for us today. The key is listening to your body and finding what makes you feel your best.
Autoimmune Disease is NOT what you think it is
Dr. Chaffee's breakdown of autoimmune disease is hitting hard for anyone struggling with chronic health issues. The comment from the Crohn's patient who saw complete symptom resolution in just three months of carnivore is proof that diet isn't just nutrition, it's medicine. The most fascinating part is how plants - which most people consider "healthy" - might actually be triggering immune responses. That comment about the wheat gene Glia-9 is mind-blowing. Essentially, we're talking about food that can fundamentally disrupt your immune system. Check out our autoimmune remission research for more context on how diet transforms health. This isn't just another health video. It's a roadmap for anyone tired of being told their chronic condition is "just how it is." The carnivore community is proving that radical dietary changes can mean radical healing.

The comments are blowing up with people talking about how this could be a total game-changer for anyone struggling with carb cravings. What's super cool is how the community is getting creative.
