Why do people quit the carnivore diet even after it helped them at first? In this episode, Judy Cho breaks down the most common reasons the carnivore diet stops working for some people, from undereating and poor fat tolerance to electrolyte issues, thyroid and hormone changes, food boredom, cholesterol fears, and the pressure to do “perfect carnivore.”
A carnivore diet can be a powerful elimination diet, but it is not inherently well-formulated. This conversation explains why some people thrive, why others struggle, and how to tell whether the issue is the diet itself, how it is being done, or the body's current state of health.
