It's been a fun journey these last couple years!
Main takeaways from the diet/exercise experimentation I've done so far:
If your goal is to lose bodyfat/get lean as quickly and effectively as possible, strict lion diet (fatty red meat + salt + water) plus OMAD (1 meal a day) is the way.
If you want to bulk up/gain weight as quickly and effectively as possible, adding dairy and upping your daily meals for more protein injections throughout the day is the way to go (understanding the tradeoff that it will make you a bit puffier, but you can always go Lion later to trim off the softness).
I still have a lot of learning to do on the weightlifting front. As of now, the routine I feel my body likes best is Mike Mentzer-style workouts (2 sets only of each exercise, one warmup and one burnout to failure), every other day (which is more frequent than he recommends - I feel like it's warranted since my muscles recover so quickly from being on carnivore). I feel like I'm leaving a lot of optimization on the table here since my recovery time is so much faster without carbs. I'm planning on bringing some experts onto the podcast in the near future to rack their brains and build a killer carnivore exercise plan.
ONWARD 💪🥩
