How did Eddie Hall Lose Seven Stone to become an MMA fighter?

The Carnivore Diet Experiment

Hall’s approach to weight cutting involves what he calls the “carnivore diet” – essentially eating nothing but meat, eggs, and dairy until you either transform into a lean fighting machine or develop scurvy. It’s the kind of diet that would make nutritionists weep into their quinoa salads, but apparently it’s worked wonders for Eddie’s cardiovascular system. He’s dropped from 31 stone at his strongman peak to just under 24 stone for this bout, which is still roughly the size of a small family car.

The interesting bit is that Hall hasn’t actually reduced his caloric intake much – he’s still consuming around 10,000 calories daily, just from different sources. It’s like watching someone try to lose weight by switching from regular petrol to premium unleaded while still driving a tank. The science is questionable, but the results speak for themselves.

The transformation itself deserves credit – dropping seven stone while maintaining muscle mass is no joke, regardless of the methods used. Hall’s commitment to this venture has been total, even if his methods remain questionable. The carnivore diet approach might sound like something concocted by a particularly unhinged personal trainer, but the physical results are undeniable.

However, after winning his MMA debut, he has since expressed interest in fighting ‘freaks’, so it sounds like he may not be all that fussed about the whole weight-loss thing anymore. Instead, he appears to be pursuing a career that prioritises sheer spectacle over athletic discipline—because, let’s be honest, what’s more entertaining than watching a giant human batter an equally enormous, slightly ridiculous opponent?
