Is the carnivore craze the answer to your fat loss goals? Or is meat for every meal a metabolic disaster?

Christina discusses the carnivore diet, exploring its pros and cons while explaining why it falls short for anyone with serious fitness or body composition goals.

This episode covers the benefits of reducing processed foods in combination with a high protein diet, While also unpacking the often misunderstood role of carbohydrates in fat loss and muscle growth.

Christina emphasizes that while carbs are frequently demonized in dieting, they are essential for optimal training intensity, metabolic health, and thyroid function.

Tune in to learn the science behind carbohydrate utilization, the importance of carbs for athletes, and the potential negative effects of cutting carbs long-term.

Key Topics:

Reducing processed foods can minimize inflammation—a key benefit of simplified eating approaches like carnivore—but it’s not a standalone solution.

Effective nutrition strategies require understanding the differences between diets like carnivore and keto, while using carbs and metrics strategically to optimize performance and body composition.
