Why professionals stall
Most nutrition advice is written for people with time. Meal prep Sundays, macro spreadsheets, six small meals. None of that survives a quarter-end or a week of travel.
A carnivore approach works here for one structural reason: it removes the decision layer. Fewer inputs means fewer chances to fall off.
Week one: adaptation
Expect a dip in energy between days three and six. This is a fuel transition, not a failure signal. Salt aggressively, drink more water than feels necessary, and do not add training intensity in this window.
- Eat ruminant meat, eggs, and fish first
- Salt every meal deliberately
- Keep training light for seven days
- Do not weigh yourself daily
Weeks two to four: consistency
Lock two default breakfasts and three default dinners. Repetition is the mechanism, not a compromise. By week four most clients report stable energy across the full working day and a sharp drop in cravings.
Eating out without derailing
Steak, burger without the bun, eggs, or grilled fish exist on nearly every menu. One rule handles ninety percent of restaurants: order the protein, decline the sides, ask for butter.
