He Weighed 668 Pounds Then This Happened
In a Nutshell
Anthony Savage lost 170 pounds after switching from keto to a strict carnivore diet, eliminating chronic pain and inflammation that exercise couldn't resolve. The 90-day carnivore challenge with daily exercise transformed his energy, sleep, and activity level within weeks, allowing him to run, hike, and play pickleball daily. He and his wife maintain strict carnivore eating as fuel rather than entertainment, crediting the diet for faster hair growth, clearer skin, and resistance to sunburn while warning that processed foods and seed oils cause most modern health problems.

Anthony Savage weighed 668 pounds at his heaviest. In January 2025, he returned to the keto diet and lost some weight. He and his wife went to South Hawaii for their 8th wedding anniversary and did not follow keto there. Upon returning, they felt pretty sick.
Their friend Damian encouraged them to do a 90-day carnivore diet challenge along with 90 days of daily exercise. Anthony started the proper human diet on June 9, 2025, making today day 457 of his journey.
Anthony has been obese his entire life. He posted baby pictures, toddler pictures, and kindergarten pictures showing he was always big. He never knew why. He was able to yo-yo up and down 30 to 50 pounds but would always stop and the topline number kept getting bigger year over year.
In 2022, he was traumatically injured and it took him 18 months of physical therapy to learn to walk normally again. He dealt with chronic pain every day - shoulders, back, legs, and feet hurt. He suffered if he tried to work out twice a week and felt like he couldn't get out of bed the next day.
As soon as Anthony switched to the proper human diet, a light bulb went off. Within a couple days, he felt incredible. He had energy, was working out, and recovering the next day to go back to the gym or go on a walk. After the first two weeks, he felt like a completely different person with so much energy and sleeping better.
He has been exercising every single day in some way - hiking, walking, sprinting, flipping tractor tires, hitting them with a sledgehammer, going to the gym, lifting, and playing pickleball. The only exception was when he had pneumonia in June and had to take a couple weeks off.
