You Don’t Need More Discipline. You Need Better Information.

Progress stopped on keto?

You probably think you need to:

😠 Try harder
⛓ Be stricter
đŸ‘źâ€â™‚ïž Add more rules
📊 Track more closely

But what if you’re already doing everything right?

More discipline probably isn’t the answer.

More likely, your body is reacting to something that isn’t immediately obvious—and no amount of effort or willpower can correct a mismatch between food and physiology.

Rather than forcing results, it can be more effective to:

â—ŸReduce food variables
â—ŸLet your body settle
â—ŸObserve symptoms
â—ŸRebuild systematically

When used appropriately, a carnivore diet can support this process. Not because it’s extreme, but because it’s simple.

Dr. Eric Westman’s FREE Carnivore Diet Guide outlines when this approach may be helpful and how to think about it without fear or urgency.

Inflammation Isn’t Always Obvious

People expect inflammation to look dramatic. Redness. Swelling. Severe pain.

In reality, low-grade inflammation often shows up quietly:

â—ŸStiffness in the morning
â—ŸSkin problems
â—ŸFluid retention
â—ŸDigestive discomfort
â—ŸDifficulty losing fat despite a consistent low-carb diet

Keto reduces inflammation significantly—and for many people, this is enough.

For others, some of the low-carb foods included on a keto diet can stimulate an immune response even without sugar or starch. đŸ§€đŸ„ŹđŸ„ŠđŸ… This can trigger inflammation even when blood sugar, insulin, and other metabolic markers look good.

A carnivore diet doesn’t have to be permanent. It’s a simplification strategy: removing plant foods temporarily and gradually & systematically reintroducing them can help you identify which specific ones may be causing unresolved health issues.

Data >> confusion.

If Keto “Stopped Working,” There’s a Reason.

After using keto to achieve remarkable results, many people reach a point where progress slows or symptoms linger.

Weight loss may stall. 😱

Joint pain may persist. đŸ˜«

Digestion may still feel unpredictable.đŸ’©

Energy may fluctuate more than expected. 😮

This is often interpreted as “keto stopped working.”

In reality, keto did what it was designed to do: it lowered blood sugar & insulin, reduced carbohydrate-driven inflammation, and helped improve or resolve issues like high blood pressure and fatty liver.

When issues remain, the cause probably isn’t carbohydrates anymore. It’s more likely related to food sensitivities. đŸ„ŠđŸ…đŸ§€đŸ„—

Some foods that are keto-friendly can still:

â—ŸTrigger inflammation
â—ŸIrritate the gut
â—ŸAffect autoimmune symptoms
â—ŸIncrease cravings or water retention

These aren’t willpower deficiencies—they’re biological responses.

Understanding why progress slowed is more helpful than trying harder or adding more rules.

Dr. Eric Westman’s FREE Carnivore Diet Guide explains why keto sometimes reaches a limit and how carnivore can go a little further for those who need it.

Keto vs. Carnivore: What’s the Difference, Really?

Keto and carnivore share a common foundation: reducing carbohydrates to improve metabolic health. ✅

Where they differ is complexity.

Keto allows a wider variety of foods, which works well for many people. đŸ„‘đŸ„—đŸ„ŹđŸ„ŠđŸ§€

Carnivore removes plant foods entirely, which can be helpful when symptoms persist despite doing keto “the right way.” đŸ„©đŸ–đŸ—đŸŸ

Carnivore isn’t about being stricter.

It is about removing variables so your body can reset.

Some people never need carnivore. ❌

Some people use it just temporarily. 🕒

Some find it provides results they couldn’t achieve otherwise. 🏆

Understanding the difference can make the decision less emotional and more informed.

Dr. Eric Westman’s FREE Carnivore Diet Guide explains these differences clearly – without hyperbole or extremism.

Mindset Matters More Than the Perfect Plan.

Most people don’t struggle because they lack information.

They struggle because they’re tired of being told they’re doing something wrong.

All-or-nothing thinking makes food harder than it needs to be.

Keto doesn’t stop working because you missed a day.

Progress doesn’t disappear because the holidays were imperfect.

Your health isn’t that fragile!

Sometimes the most productive step forward is removing blame and asking better questions:

â—ŸWhat foods leave me inflamed?
â—ŸWhat foods help me feel calm?
â—ŸWhat approach reduces decision fatigue?

These questions help you create clarity without judgment.

January Isn’t a Restart – It’s a Check-In.

Too often, January comes with pressure:

â—ŸNew rules
â—ŸNew plans
â—ŸNew expectations

But real change doesn’t come from scrapping everything and starting from scratch. You don’t need a clean slate, and you don’t need to be a “new you.” Keep what’s already working and fine-tune gradually from there.

If keto helped you:

📉 Lose weight
đŸ©ž Improve your blood sugar
✅ Feel more in control of food

That progress still counts, even if you feel like you’re not all the way there yet.

If something still feels a bit off, that doesn’t mean what you’ve done so far was wasted – and you haven’t failed. You might just need a small shift in your approach.

The start of a new year isn’t about forcing change.

It’s about understanding what your body needs now.

If you’re curious about whether carnivore would be a useful strategy for you, Dr. Westman’s FREE Carnivore Diet Guide offers a clear & simple introduction to this intriguing way of eating.
