Christian Carnivore

I was raised a Christian, and for just as long, I’ve struggled with my weight. The last photo taken of me thin and at a healthy weight was at 18 months old….That’s right, I was a toddler.

With both Christianity and food, I’ve heard half-truths, false information, false beliefs, false teachings, actual truth, had lived experiences affirming or nullifying what I’ve heard. I’ve read opinions, seen studies and reports, watched what others have done, tried and failed, tried and seen success, had mindset issues, and I’ve cried and I’ve despaired.

And here I am, full of faith in Christ….but my weight and health issues persist. I’m in my 40s, still struggling and chastising myself for my lack of control with food, my lack of satisfaction no matter how much food I eat. Despairing my energy, my future, my lack of hope. I don’t want to live like this….300 pounds at 5’3″. Depressed with thoughts that my old age will be full of pain and health issues, and devoid of energy and vigor.

So I cried out the Lord, and told Him my worries, that my energy level, my neverending hunger and my weight were the exact opposite of what I want. That I want to do more for Him, to do more with my life, but I just felt overwhelmed by my own weakness. Everything I was doing just wasn’t enough to combat myself. God, help me to figure this out! I don’t want to live like this anymore.

Then YouTube. I’d been watching YouTube for years, looking for helpful videos for lots of different topics like my current career, gardening plans, homesteading, travel, etc. But one day I saw a video by HomesteadHow. Never noticed any recommended videos from this channel before, and I ignored it a day or two. The title finally caught my attention, and I can’t even remember which video it was. But I was introduced to Carnivore eating, and my hope for an answer was renewed.

I’ve watched video after video about Carnivore eating over the month of November 2025, the same month I heard about it. I’ve even tested out how satisfied I was after a high-protein or animal-based meal. It’s completely different from my high-carb meals, which left me hungry after 2 hours. Testimonial after testimonial are confirming that others have similar experiences to me. Practicing medical professionals are giving their testimonials about the positive effects of Carnivore eating. I’ve watched, and I’ve listened.

So…..it’s my turn to try.

To record my experience, I created the Christian Carnivore blog. Every day or multiple times a week, I’ll be blogging my meals, my reflections, my wins, my struggles, and everything in between. If this strikes a cord with you, please follow along. May God bless you and keep you.
