Carnivore Diet Results After 12 Months: Unexpected Hair Regrowth & 34-Pound Weight Loss
After twelve months on the carnivore diet, one man has noticed remarkable changes in his body, including an unexpected improvement in hair regrowth. Initially adopting the diet for weight loss and overall health benefits, he experienced a range of positive outcomes including the loss of 15 kilos (34 pounds), increased muscle mass, and elimination of various health issues such as arthritis, eczema, and gum disease.
One surprising benefit emerged only recently when comparing current photos with footage from five to six years ago. What was once a noticeable bald patch on the crown of his head has significantly filled in during his time on the carnivore diet. After shaving his head, the evidence became clear - the formerly thinning area now appears consistent with the rest of his hair, demonstrating yet another potential benefit of this animal-based eating approach.
Key Takeaways
The carnivore diet has provided multiple health benefits including weight loss, muscle gain, and relief from arthritis and skin conditions.
A previously noticeable bald patch has shown significant improvement after twelve months of following the carnivore diet.
Visual evidence comparing before and after images demonstrates the positive effect on hair regrowth in previously thinning areas.
My Carnivore Diet Journey
Weight Loss and Physical Transformation
After 12 months on the carnivore diet, my body has undergone significant positive changes. I've lost a total of 15 kilograms (34 pounds) while simultaneously gaining noticeable muscle mass, particularly across my chest area. This physical transformation occurred gradually throughout the year of following the strict animal-based nutrition plan.
Joint Pain and Skin Health Improvements
The carnivore diet has completely eliminated two chronic health issues that previously affected my quality of life. The arthritis in my left knee has disappeared, allowing for greater mobility and comfort during daily activities. Additionally, my longstanding eczema has completely resolved, leaving my skin clear and healthy for the first time in years.
Oral Health Transformation
My dental health has seen remarkable improvements since adopting the carnivore lifestyle. Three persistent issues have been eliminated:
No more gum disease
Elimination of tooth sensitivity
Fresh breath throughout the day
These changes occurred without additional dental interventions beyond the dietary shift to animal products.
Overall Wellbeing Enhancements
The benefits extended far beyond physical appearance into everyday functioning. My sleep quality has notably improved, leading to better rest and recovery. Mood stability has increased significantly, contributing to better daily mental function. Perhaps most surprisingly, physical abilities have enhanced—including improved strength, better balance, and a reduction in a limp I've had for 30 years following a stroke.
An unexpected benefit appeared around the one-year mark: hair regrowth. Comparing video footage from 5-6 years ago showing a significant bald patch at the crown of my head to current photos reveals remarkable improvement. The previously thinning area has filled in substantially, creating a more even appearance even when hair is cut very short.
Hair Regrowth Assessment
After 12 months on the carnivore diet, significant hair changes have become evident. The transformation wasn't immediately noticeable due to its gradual nature, but comparing before and after images reveals remarkable improvements.
Video Comparison Results
A family video from approximately 5-6 years ago clearly shows a pronounced bald patch at the crown area. The footage, taken during winter (evidenced by wearing a jacket and scarf), displays a noticeable horseshoe-shaped thinning pattern on the upper back portion of the head. This balding area was quite distinct and unmistakable despite not being the focus of the original recording.
Current Hair Status
Recent images taken before a haircut demonstrate significant improvement in the previously thinning area:
The crown area shows much better coverage
While still slightly thinner than other areas, the difference is minimal
Overall hair density appears more consistent across the scalp
The hair appears healthier and more evenly distributed compared to the historical footage, with no obvious patches of baldness visible in the recent photographs.
Carnivore Diet Impact on Hair
Following a recent haircut that removed most of the length, the evidence of hair regrowth became even more apparent. The closely-cropped hair reveals:
No visible bald spot in the previously affected area
Even distribution of hair throughout the scalp
Consistent coverage where the horseshoe-shaped thinning had existed
This hair regrowth joins a list of other health improvements experienced over the 12-month carnivore diet period, including:
Weight loss (15kg/34lbs)
Increased muscle mass
Elimination of arthritis symptoms
Resolution of eczema
Improved dental health (no more gum disease or sensitive teeth)
Better sleep quality and mood stability
Enhanced strength and balance
The hair restoration effect appears to be a gradual but significant benefit that developed alongside these other health improvements.
Hair Regrowth Results and Dietary Impact
After 12 months on the carnivore diet, significant hair regrowth occurred in an area that had previously shown noticeable thinning. Visual evidence demonstrates this transformation through comparison of footage from 5-6 years ago with recent images.
The earlier video clearly showed a prominent bald patch at the crown of the head. This horseshoe-shaped thinning was unmistakable when viewing the subject from behind. Recent photographs and video, even after a fresh haircut that would make any thinning more visible, reveal remarkably even hair coverage across the entire scalp.
This hair regrowth joins numerous other health improvements experienced during the 12-month carnivore diet period:
Physical Health Benefits:
Weight loss of 15 kg (34 pounds)
Increased chest muscle mass
Resolution of arthritis in left knee
Elimination of eczema
Improved dental health (no more gum disease or sensitive teeth)
Elimination of bad breath
Functional Improvements:
Better sleep quality
Enhanced mood
Increased strength
Improved balance
Reduction in limp from previous stroke
The hair regrowth represents another unexpected positive outcome from this dietary approach. For those considering the carnivore diet, these results suggest potential benefits beyond the commonly discussed weight management and inflammatory condition improvements.

The visual transformation of the previously thinning area demonstrates how dietary changes can sometimes affect seemingly unrelated aspects of health. Hair density now appears consistent across the entire scalp, with no visible signs of the previous horseshoe-shaped thinning pattern.
