Here is the [study] (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S240545772400038X) (N=1.8 million)
Conclusions
This MR study demonstrated no significant causal relationships between red/processed meat intake and the risk of the four CVD outcomes examined. Further investigation is warranted to confirm these findings.

Here is an older study (N=29 682) that claimed to have found correlation between redmeat and heart diseases.
I've been putting a slab of Kerrygold butter in mine lately.
Was doing intermittent fasting and eating whatever I wanted. Lost a lot of weight and then hit a plateau where I wasn't gaining or losing.
To shake things up, I'm now doing keto, but really almost 99% carnivore. Made the switch this week.
Only thing I've eaten this week that isn't eggs, cheese, or meat was a side of broccoli and a cup of tortilla soup that came with my 16 oz. ribeye at a restaurant.
Lost an additional 5 lbs. already after cutting all processed carbs and sugars out of my diet and I'm completely full for hours after eating.
Yesterday, I ate 2 hamburger patties, a 3 egg omelet with some white cheddar and a copious amount of butter for lunch, and a piece of fish for dinner, which came out to around 1500 calories.
Once I hit my target weight, I will probably have to start eating about 1800-2000 calories to maintain.
Yup anon I've ad pretty much the same experience, keto then now carnivore, zero carbs or sugar/processed foods and my weight is where it should be! Loads of energy, 6hrs sleep, but must also drink plenty of water with pink salt or celtic sea salt.
Do you already work out?
You can get away with larger calorie counts if you do, and if you have a good amount of muscle mass 1800-2000 may end up actually being too little to maintain your weight -- you might still drop.
I'll know if I need to eat even more than 1800-2000 once I hit target weight if I keep dropping instead of maintaining, and agree with you 100%.
After doing intermittent fasting and OMAD (One Meal A Day) for a time, I'm much more in touch with my body and how my digestive system works.
Idea here is to let my body use the fat it stored for energy because I want to lose most of it, so I'm making sure I eat enough protein to maintain current muscle mass without going over the calorie count goal.
Exception to this is if I'm still hungry, of course. Important not to ignore those signals.
As far as working out, not yet. I take my dog for plenty of walks daily and do things around the house and yard work.
Planning on dropping another 10 lbs. before lifting again, which should only take another couple weeks if I keep seeing progress.
I did do construction and physical labor for most of my 20s and 30s, so I'm still in decent shape underneath the fat.
