I really like Phils very slow and realistic talking style.
He strikes me as a very normal person, not exaggerating, good recall of his entire journey.
He does talk a little slowly.

I Ate ONLY Salads for 3 Days... It Backfired Fast.
Phil shares his transformative journey from a high-carb diet to the carnivore diet, detailing his experiences of weight loss, health improvements, and lifestyle changes over nearly two years.
Key Points
Start of Journey
Phil began his health transformation at 315 pounds while coaching a basketball team, trying a short salad-only diet for three days, which resulted in a weight gain of three pounds, leading him to explore the carnivore diet.
Introduction to Carnivore Diet
After his wife found out about the carnivore diet, Phil decided to try it, abandoning a salad-based approach in favor of steaks, which led to initial weight loss and increased energy.
Significant Weight Loss
Over six months of strict carnivore eating, Phil lost 80 pounds, improving his overall health and reducing his reliance on medications for blood pressure and sleep apnea.
Health Improvements
Phil experienced significant improvements in health markers: he got off blood pressure medication and CPAP machine for sleep apnea, and he stopped suffering from kidney stones and gout.
Diet Composition
His carnivore diet primarily included eggs, bacon, steak, and butter, while avoiding sugar and processed foods, which he found to improve both physical and mental health.
Challenges and Adaptation
Phil faced cravings in the early stages of his diet but adapted successfully, also discussing intermittent fasting and the mental aspects of changing his eating habits.
Positive Feedback and Lifestyle Changes
His personal transformation led to curiosity from friends and family, fostering discussions about the benefits of the carnivore lifestyle.
Advocacy and Community
Phil aims to spread awareness of the carnivore diet, encouraging others to give it a try, especially highlighting its holistic health benefits beyond weight loss.
