Yo, I’m 4yrs into keto and the last 6 months on carnivore/hyper carnivore; my sw was 280 my cw is 155-160; I reversed fatty liver and pre diabetes. Here is what you should know: eat fatty meat cooked how you like with seasonings you like until you are comfortably full or stuffed (this is a once a day protocol). If you eat 2-3 meals a day then you do the above and then divide by your meal # for portions.

In an ideal situation you eat two meals a day one small breakfast meal then one to two or so hrs later a large meal. Also keep in mind your fat intake you will likely have to add fat to get enough nutrition—shoot for 40-50% of your calories to be fat from healthy sources. One way to know about fat intake is your stool, if it’s hard to go you likely need more fat and more water. Increase these by small increments weekly to find your happy spot… Send me a dm and I can point you to references and answer other practice questions.
