Iāve read on here that not being hungry is a normal thing on carnivore and to eat when you are hungry. I love not being ruled by hunger and cravings. My concern however is Iām eating very little calories. I (edit: naturally and for many years) IF and my natural eating window is usually 12-6pm. When I start eating my meal, most of the time I cannot even finish. Sometimes I can only do a few bites before my throat is literally like ānopeā when I try to swallow. While Iām not hungry I do get kind of that āI should probably eatā kind of headache/mood/dizziness. I want to listen to my body though a little confused. Please let me know your thoughts/experience:
Iām on day 13 of strict carnivore. I am averaging 700-800 calories a day over the course of the 13 days. I mostly eat grass fed beef (roasts, ribeye, tri tip, London broil, ground beef), and also have wild caught fatty fish and bacon. I cook with beef tallow, duck fat and supplementing with organ meats capsules. Iām super on top of my electrolytes.
Iām currently sipping bone broth with some melted fat and sea salts.
Edit: thought it pretty crucial to mention that it is recommended I eat at around 1200 calories a day.
My appetite was all over the place when I started . I made sure I was getting high quality nutrient dense meat and fats. Eventually the appetite stabilized. I avoided low quality meat. I actually had the opposite issue when I started. I put on 25 lbs and couldnāt satiate myself. Then it just changed one day.

It was the fat intake. I ate a lot of grass finished fat like suet and trimmings. I mean a ton. Eventually I fasted for a day or two and then I just didnāt want as much. I find that the fat amounts act as a weight lever. The more I want to gain , the more fat I eat. The more I want to lose the less fat. Protein remains around the same. I donāt manipulate my body too much.
