Insulin Resistance & the Carnivore Diet

What Our Members Say

Across these threads, members frequently discuss managing insulin resistance through a carnivore diet, with many reporting measurable improvements in fasting glucose, A1C, and insulin levels over time. Common concerns include slow or stalled weight loss, optimal protein and fat ratios, and the lack of comprehensive metabolic testing from conventional doctors. Community support and consistency are repeatedly emphasized as central to long-term adherence and healing.

• Coaches consistently recommend a minimum of 100 grams of protein daily for those with insulin resistance, with higher intake suggested for individuals who weight train or are trying to support fat loss and muscle building.
• Coaches acknowledge that standard medical practice often relies on A1C and fasting glucose rather than fasting insulin tests, and encourage members to specifically request a fasting insulin test from their doctors to properly assess insulin resistance.
• Coaches emphasize that healing from insulin resistance takes time, encouraging members to focus on consistency, sleep, stress management, and satiety rather than relying solely on scale-based progress as a measure of success.
• Intermittent fasting is noted by coaches as a complementary strategy worth considering alongside the carnivore diet for those specifically working to address insulin resistance.
