Why I Eat Low Carb
Since 2017, I’ve been living a low-carb lifestyle — first through keto, then more ketovore, and sometimes full-on carnivore. What started as a personal experiment has become a way of life, and I’ve never looked back.
This post isn’t about rules, dogma, or telling you what to eat. It’s about sharing what’s worked for me — and why I believe these animal-based, low-carb ways of eating can be a game-changer for so many people.
Let’s Start With the Basics
Keto focuses on very low carbs, moderate protein, and high fat — it trains your body to burn fat for fuel instead of sugar.
Ketovore adds more emphasis on animal-based nutrition (meat, eggs, dairy) with occasional low-carb plants.
Carnivore takes it a step further — 100% animal foods, zero plants.
Each of these approaches has helped people reverse disease, regain energy, and reconnect with real food.
Why I Stick With It
Here’s what I’ve personally experienced over the years — and what the science is starting to support more and more:
✅ Reversing Chronic Conditions
Low-carb and carnivore diets are helping people manage or reverse insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disease, PCOS, chronic inflammation, and more. I’ve seen the labs. I’ve read the stories. I’ve seen the results of others. And I’ve felt the difference in my own body.
Food is medicine — and removing processed carbs, seed oils, and sugar is the first prescription.
✅ Mental Clarity + Stable Energy
Before keto, my blood sugar was on a rollercoaster — I’d crash mid-morning or feel foggy in the afternoons. Now, my energy is stable all day. No more naps. No more mood swings. My brain feels on.
✅ Satiety, Not Deprivation
People think this lifestyle is restrictive. I’d argue the opposite. When you’re fueled by steak, eggs, butter, and real salt — you’re not thinking about food all day. Cravings disappear. Hunger becomes honest and simple.
✅ Rooted in Human History
These diets aren’t fads — they’re a return to how humans have eaten for thousands of years. Our ancestors didn’t snack every two hours or chase down kale smoothies. They ate nutrient-dense animal foods, seasonally and simply.
Why It Works
These diets reduce chronic inflammation, stabilize blood sugar, and support metabolic flexibility — the ability to burn fat efficiently. They give your body a break from constant insulin spikes and allow it to heal.
They also support mitochondrial function (hello, energy) and gut health — especially when you’re removing inflammatory foods like grains, seed oils, and sugar.
And for many people, it’s not just about what you add — it’s what you take away. The elimination aspect of carnivore, for example, can bring clarity to issues like skin problems, bloating, migraines, joint pain, and fatigue.
It’s Not All or Nothing
I don’t think there’s a “perfect” human diet — but I do think real food, nutrient density, and simplicity should be the foundation. That’s why I’ve found my groove in a ketovore approach — mostly animal-based, sometimes full carnivore, always low-carb.
This way of eating continues to support my health — physically, mentally, hormonally, and emotionally. And I believe it can do the same for others, especially in a world where chronic disease is the norm and real food has become rare.
If you’re curious, start small. Question the standard narrative. Listen to your body. Read the labels. And maybe eat more steak. 😉
This blog will continue to explore this way of eating — alongside circadian health, grounding, water, and quantum biology — because I believe true wellness is multifaceted, ancestral, and deeply personal.
Here’s to eating in a way that heals.
