Clarifying Carnivore Confusion S3E78

In this episode of the Carnivore Evolution Podcast, Mark and Victoria welcome Sarah back for a deep dive into one of the most confusing issues in the carnivore space: why some people struggle on carnivore, and whether adding carbohydrates is really the answer. Sarah shares her perspective on dietary fat, dairy, insulin, appetite, protein requirements, muscle building, fasting, electrolytes, meal timing, and the importance of individualizing a carnivore approach. They also discuss why protein—not simply dietary fat—should remain a major focus, the difference between genuine hunger and cravings, and why “bulking” with carbohydrates can create the illusion of muscle gain through glycogen, water, and fat. The conversation also tackles the growing confusion around what “carnivore” actually means, the problem with one-size-fits-all advice from influencers and coaches, transitioning away from processed foods, fat adaptation, carbohydrate cravings, oxalate dumping, herbs and spices, and making carnivore sustainable for the long term. Sarah also explains her work with clients and her Neural Reset Technique practice in Costa Rica. Overall theme: Cutting through carnivore confusion and learning how to individualize the diet for metabolic health, appetite control, body composition, performance, and long-term sustainability.
