Furkan Celiker

I built Carve while losing 50 kilos. I write the Carve Wiki.

I went from 130 to 80 kilograms. It started with a food tracker I built for myself, and that tracker became Carve AI. Carve AI is an iPhone app that tracks your food and your training. I still use it every day.

How an article gets made

  1. A first draft is written with the help of AI.
  2. Every source is a published study or a position stand from a professional body. Each one is looked up by its DOI or PubMed ID before it goes in. If a study doesn't say what the text says, the claim goes.
  3. I read the article, correct it, and add what I did myself. Only then does my name go on it.

Articles without my name are older drafts. You can read them, but I haven't reviewed them yet.

What I'm not

I'm not a doctor or a dietitian. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or take medication, talk to one before you change how you eat or train.
