This topic is about a person who has been following a carnivore diet for nearly a year while living with an ostomy. They share their experiences, results, and practical tips for others who might be interested in trying a similar approach. Here’s what they have to say:

- After almost a year on this diet, they have maintained a stable weight of 150–152 pounds, losing 44 pounds effortlessly. They enjoy abundant energy and experience no digestive pain.
- Their diet consists of whatever meat or animal products are on sale, such as eggs, bacon, ground beef, poultry, pork, fish, and seafood. Rib-eyes are now an occasional treat.
- They remove sausage casings but keep poultry skin, avoiding all fiber and sugar.
- They maintain a purposely thin or liquid output, about ¾ cup per day, which is easy to empty and virtually odor-free.
- Despite some abdominal scarring, they experience no discomfort and stay active by caring for their baby granddaughter.

Additional insights and daily routine include:

- Only sausage casings are removed due to previous pain and blockages; poultry skin and animal fat are consumed.
- A typical day includes:
- Breakfast: 4 eggs fried in butter with salt and shredded cheddar.
- Supper: Roast-beef slices with gravy made from drippings, butter, and ground pork rinds as a flour substitute.
- Snacks and stock items: Cooked bacon, shredded roast chicken (including fried skin), ground beef with butter, onion, and garlic powder, burger patties with cheese, wieners, bologna, and tuna.
- Drinks: Coffee and 48–64 ounces of water.
- They keep all drippings for bone broth and use various cooking methods like BBQ, smoker, and air fryer. They also make jerky, carnivore “bread,” and ice cream from YouTube recipes.
- They use Restoralax each morning to keep their output liquid.
- Their son lost 34 pounds by switching from keto to carnivore and now maintains his weight with a "ketovore" approach on weekends.

Advice and insights for others:

- Many ostomates on a carnivore diet report consistently thin or runny output that empties quickly and has little to no odor, except after eating fish.
- Sausage skins, casings, and high-fiber foods can cause blockages, so it’s best to avoid them or chew them very well.
- Eating animal skin and fat, especially poultry skin, is recommended for taste and nutrition.
- Switching from keto to strict carnivore can help break weight-loss plateaus, with some reintroducing limited low-carb foods later for maintenance.
- Budget tips include relying on eggs, bacon, ground beef, and whole chickens, buying a side of beef when possible, and using BBQ, smoker, dehydrator, and appliances like the Ninja Foodi air fryer to vary meals and reduce indoor odors.
- Daily supplementation with Restoralax, along with adequate water and coffee, helps keep output fluid and prevent blockages.
