Insulin Resistance & the Carnivore Diet

What Our Members Say

Members across these threads are commonly dealing with insulin resistance alongside goals of weight loss and metabolic healing, with many reporting slow but measurable progress on a carnivore diet. Key concerns include understanding lab markers, optimizing protein intake, and navigating weight loss stalls. Community support and consistency are repeatedly emphasized as central to long-term success.

• Coaches consistently recommend a minimum of 100 grams of protein daily, with higher intake suggested for those who are insulin resistant and actively weight training, as building muscle supports metabolic healing.
• Coaches advise members to request a fasting insulin test from their doctor, noting that many practitioners default to A1C and fasting glucose alone, which may not fully capture insulin resistance.
• Intermittent fasting is recommended by coaches as a complementary strategy alongside the carnivore diet specifically for those 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 results alone.
