A carnivore diet can be considered a low-level ketogenic diet, characterized by cycling in and out of low-level ketosis (serum ketones between 0.1-0.8 mmol/L) due to adequate protein and fat intake, and subsequent liver glycogen depletion overnight.

“what I would say a carnivore diet is like a low-level ketogenic diet it's a mini ketogenic diet it's a soft ketogenic diet meaning that when we are eating that amount of protein we're probably gonna be quote unquote out of ketosis have serum ketones around 0.2 or 0.1 when we have bolus meal of meat and fat and organs etc and then overnight we will deplete liver glycogen we will trigger higher levels of ketogenesis will turn on at AA fangy and then we will kind of cycle in and out of low level ketosis”
