CGMs, Gut Health, and Carnivore Cake? — Your weekly carnivore briefing with research, videos, and community intel.
Your Weekly Carnivore Briefing
Week of February 16, 2026  •  carnivoreweekly.com

Big week over here. We published 13 new articles, including a deep dive where all three of us weighed in on continuous glucose monitors. Emma the Carnivore broke the internet with a zero-carb cake recipe. And the gut health paradox piece is already our most-shared article this month. Let's get into it.

What's Trending

CGMs on carnivore — everyone wants to see their flat glucose lines and freak out about dawn phenomenon. Our three-writer deep dive covers the science, the protocol, and what the community is actually seeing.

Gut health without fiber — the paradox is catching on. No fiber, better digestion. The gastroenterologists are not thrilled, but the data is interesting.

Skin healing stories — eczema and psoriasis results are flooding the community forums. Turns out acne clearing was just the beginning.

Community Pulse

The questions I'm seeing most this week center around blood sugar and metabolic health. A lot of people are strapping on CGMs for the first time and wondering why their fasting glucose went up after starting carnivore. Short answer: it's normal, it's temporary, and we wrote an entire article explaining the mechanisms. I'm also seeing renewed interest in the gut health conversation, especially from people whose gastroenterologists told them fiber was non-negotiable. The data tells a more interesting story.
