This Week in Carnivore Life — Aug 4, 2026

This week: a 22-month transformation doing the rounds in the comments, Shawn Baker reacting to someone's documented 60-day run, and a group of long-term practitioners pushing back on the sustainability question. Plus news from one of the web's oldest low-carb resources.

1. 22 Months, 70 Pounds, a New Life

The Lions Danivore Podcast published a personal account this week that is hard to skim past. Starting at 250 pounds, tired and out of options, the narrator describes 22 months on carnivore and 70 pounds gone. What lands is the framing: not a sprint or biohack, just a slow accumulation of something that now feels like a different life entirely. The comments section is full of people saying they recognised themselves in the opening two minutes. Watch the video.

2. Shawn Baker Reacts to Jake Moscato's 60-Day Journey

Jake Moscato documented his 60-day carnivore experiment and put it out publicly. Shawn Baker, one of the most recognisable names in the space, watched it and recorded his reaction this week. Baker zeroes in on one moment from Moscato's footage that stood out to him. If you want a view of what a clear-eyed, documented 60-day run looks like from the inside, both videos are worth pairing. Watch Baker's reaction.

3. Real People, Decades of Results

The strongest counter to "it's unsustainable" is not a study. It's people who have been doing it for 10, 15, 20 years and are still going. Meating Wellness put together exactly that kind of video this week: not promises about what will happen, but a record of what already has, across a group of long-term practitioners. Worth watching if you find yourself fielding the sustainability question from sceptical friends or family. Watch.

4. Diet Doctor Enters a New Chapter

Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt published a personal message this week announcing a new chapter for Diet Doctor, 18 years after starting it as a small personal project. The site became one of the most-read low-carb and keto information resources in the world, and change at that scale matters for where good information lives online. The announcement is short and worth reading if Diet Doctor has been part of your research toolkit. Read it.

5. A Cardiac Surgeon on What Actually Causes Heart Disease

Dr. Philip Ovadia, a cardiac surgeon who has operated on thousands of hearts, sat down with Ken Berry this week to go through what he sees as the actual drivers of heart disease. His perspective carries clinical weight: it comes from the operating table, not the lecture hall. The conversation separates what the evidence supports from what has become received wisdom. One note worth keeping: cardiovascular disease is complex, and this represents one practitioner's view in an area where the research continues to evolve. Watch.

That's the week. See you next Monday.
