Insulin Resistance & the Carnivore Diet

What Our Members Say

Members across these threads commonly discuss insulin resistance as a primary health concern motivating their adoption of the carnivore diet, with many seeking guidance on lab testing, protein intake, and weight loss strategies. Several members report measurable improvements in metabolic markers such as A1C, fasting glucose, and HOMA index after sustained adherence to the diet. Community support and consistency are frequently highlighted as key factors in long-term progress.

• Coaches consistently recommend a minimum of 100 grams of protein daily for members with insulin resistance, with higher intake suggested for those who engage in weight training or are working to build muscle.
• Coaches advise members to request a fasting insulin test from their doctor, noting that standard practice often relies only on A1C and fasting glucose, which may not fully capture insulin resistance.
• Intermittent fasting is mentioned by coaches as a complementary strategy alongside the carnivore diet for members specifically managing insulin resistance.
• Coaches emphasize that healing from insulin resistance takes time and encourage members to focus on consistency, sleep, stress management, and satiety rather than scale-based outcomes alone.
