I started the Carnivore diet (Lion’s diet-NOT raw for me) on Jan 6/25. I decided to share my experiences in case anyone wants to know from a regular person.

I am 52 years old, and now I feel like I am 32!

Here is my Costco find. A chuck flat iron steak pack for $80. It comes with four really large steaks that I cut into $9 steaks. Working out to be less than $9 per steak. And the meat is delicious and so tender. Love it. Better than grocery store steaks by far.

My first steak box from Modern Pastures. $269 for 14 steaks. 5 ribeye, 3 strip loins, 3 top sirloins and 3 tenderloins. Making it less than $20 per steak. And ribeyes and strip loins are usually at least $30 per steak. So I think it’s a good deal. I’ll see once I try them. I’m still working on my Costco chuck steaks from another video for now. That was only $9 per steak and really nice tasting and tenderness.

Watching videos by meat dad on tiktok I learned that buying a chuck roll is a less expensive way to get better quality steaks for less. I have yet to find one, but I did find these chuck flat iron steaks at Costco. These 3kg of meat were cut into 4 huge steaks. I was able to cut them down to meal size and made 9 steaks out of them. I ate one today from the air fryer and it was delicious and so tender. Such a good buy.

Carnivore Experts Weigh In: Why Your Weight Loss Progress Has Hit a Plateau - Jackie the Lioness 02/26/2026

Are you experiencing a plateau in your weight loss on the carnivore diet? This is what is happening to me. I started the diet on Jan 6, 2025 and in my first 6 months I lost 50 pounds, my health improved drastically, my arthritis pain was less than it had been in years with no new flare ups, and I had more energy than I ever had in my life. Then the second half of the year, I have had no weightloss, a slight decrease in my energy but still better than before, and a bit more pain. Most of my pain is from past damage though, not from new flare ups. But I stay true to the diet, because if I sway from it and eat carbs, I feel the pain come back ten fold overnight. So I know this is still the best way for me to eat, but I couldn't understand why I can't get my weight to budge since.

See my blog post below, explaining what the experts believe could be happening. I am making some adjustments, and then hopefully I will see a change.

Carnivore Experts Weigh In: Why Your Weight Loss Progress Has Hit a Plateau - Jackie the Lioness It is incredibly common to see a “honeymoon phase” on the carnivore diet where the weight drops and energy soars, only to hit a wall later. Several leading doctors and experts in the carnivore space have identified specific physiological and lifestyle reasons for this “second-half” slump. He...

Meat Delivery vs. The Grocery Store: Is It Actually Better Value? - Jackie the Lioness 02/19/2026

Where's the Beef? Check out my blog for a comparison to Meat box options. Grocery stores are getting so high priced, and it is hit or miss if the quality of the meat is good. So I am looking into where to buy from local farms and in a bigger quantity to get a better price. Up until now, I was buying every few days from the Grocery stores in my area so that I could eat fresh and unfrozen meat...but it is a lot of money for mediocre quality. So I want to give one of these a try next:

Meat Delivery vs. The Grocery Store: Is It Actually Better Value? - Jackie the Lioness If you’ve been following the carnivore lifestyle for a while, you know that the “grocery store gamble” is real. One week the ribeyes look great; the next, they’re thin, watery, and overpriced. Lately, I’ve been looking for a more consistent way to keep my freezer stocked with high-quality,...

I can’t wait to try this after my next payday. 😁

Free delivery everywhere? Yes, everywhere we deliver.

Because premium beef, 100% traceable to farm-of-origin, from farmers improving the land should be convenient, not complicated.

Order any 2 boxes and shipping is completely FREE to your door - whether you're in the city or outside of it. Our insulated courier boxes hold exactly 2 meat boxes (perfectly portioned at 3.5-5kg each for urban freezers), so we're simply encouraging you to make delivery more efficient and sustainable.

This is beef from cattle born, raised, and cared for on one Alberta farm where four generations have perfected regenerative grazing. The result? Land that's three times more productive than conventional grazing, soil that's healthier year after year, and beef that tastes the way it should.

As Alan told us: "Very high quality beef. Had the steak pack and they were exceptionally juicy and tender. My favorite was the striploin. Great to have in the freezer for a quick midweek dinner."

The details: Free delivery works everywhere, stacks with subscriptions, and makes stocking your freezer smarter than ever.

From our pastures to your plate - shipping sorted.

Note: Ground Beef box available Edmonton & Calgary only.

35ish years of not sleeping well. Anytime I had some form of test my sleep was about 3-5 hours a night max. Then severe sleep apnea in the past few years as well. I was exhausted all the time. Could never get enough sleep and when I did sleep I wasn’t getting into a deep sleep hardly ever. No wonder my health was plummeting. Then a year ago when I started the carnivore diet my sleep improved a lot. My snoring got better, (according to a roommate at the time) and I was waking up feeling better rested. Plus then I started taking Magnesium Glycinate, which helped me even more. But still sleep tests were only showing me sleeping about 4-6 hours max. And rarely at 6. Then a couple weeks ago I got a Fitbit that shows sleep stats, heart rate, oxygen and so on. And it showed me it still wasn’t great. Then two days ago I started adding glycine with my magnesium glycinate before bed and suddenly I slept for 8 hours and 37 minutes the first night and 8 hours and 17 minutes last night! OMG 8 full hours of sleep feels amazing. Even after only two nights. I can’t wait to see how I feel in a few months after actually getting into REM and deep sleep more. It’s amazing. Thank god I saw a video from Dr. Berg talking about benefits to taking Glycine. I didn’t even buy it for sleep but then when I had AI tell me a schedule for my supplements, it told me to take Magnesium Glycinate and Glycine before bed cuz it helps sleep. Wow, what a life changer. Sorry for the long winded post. I couldn’t help but share this amazing news.

I love bacon! Which is fine on the carnivore diet as long as you find it with no added sugar. The problem is most of it comes with nitrites and other preservatives. So I go to Safeway and get sliced pork belly. Then I can add my own spices to it and know exactly what I’m eating. Turns out it’s even better than bacon. At least I think so.
