Man who restricted diet to nothing but red meat and eggs for a year reveals shocking impact it had on his body

Patrick Ensley had been struggling with his weight for a while

A man who only ate only red meat and eggs for an entire year has claimed that the impact on his body was shocking.

Patrick Ensley had been struggling with his weight for a while - so much, in fact, that he wasn’t able to measure his abdomen with a standard measuring tape.

It was all getting too much for him to live with, and at 300 pounds (21.4 stone), Patrick found himself spiralling into depression.

However, that would all change once he made a drastic lifestyle change.

Many of us switch up our diets every now and then, whether it’s cutting out certain foods or only eating certain things at a specific time, it can actually work to shed the pounds when nothing else is working.

But for Patrick, it really did change his life.

The HVAC technician from Milford, Nebraska, US decided that his new diet would be the trending full-carnivore diet.

A carnivore diet is all the rage right now, and if you type it in on TikTok, you’ll be greeted by video after video of people sitting down to eat steak and eggs for almost every meal.

Consisting of only red meat and eggs, the carnivore diet doesn’t allow for eating vegetables or grains.

Focusing on only eating animal products (meat, poultry, eggs, fish, some types of dairy and water), it’s a drastically different diet than what we’re used to seeing in 2024.

However, for Patrick, his 16-ounce stead, pound of beef and six eggs per day did something to his body that he probably wasn’t expecting.

He lost 140lbs (10 stone), which is nearly half of his original weight.

For one year he dedicated himself to the diet and he now claims that he’s never felt healthier.

He lost 19 inches from his 57-inch stomach and now feels amazing.

On a YouTube video detailing his progress, he said: “I still have about 15 to 20 more pounds left till I hit my goal but the difference between then and now is insane.”

His life before this major change saw him unable to play with his 2-year-old son, who was one at the time, as he was so tired and needed to lie down.

“But now I come home, and I'm able to throw around my 2-year-old son on the couch and swing him upside down and play trucks and trains and all the fun stuff he likes to do and still have energy left over from my family,” claimed Patrick.

He said: “I woke up several times throughout the night.

“I'd wake up in the morning; even if I had 10 hours of sleep, I'd wake up just not wanting to get out of bed. I'd be sore and stiff. My ankles and my back and my knees would hurt, and I've just been miserable.”

However, this change allegedly stopped his snoring, and now his sleep is so much better, leaving him feeling ‘refreshed’ and 'not in pain anymore'.

Because of his previous weight, he also struggled at work, and now his performance has skyrocketed thanks to the weight loss and increased energy.

His depression also faded, and he believes that it’s all thanks to his carnivore diet.

Doing it so he can watch his son grow up, he shared that others wanting to do it too should write their motivation somewhere they can see.

While the carnivore diet is trending right now, there are varying reports of whether it’s actually beneficial or not.

So, do your research, speak to a healthcare professional, and make sure it’s safe before taking part.
