I’m 73 female. Began carnivore and intermittent fasting 2 years ago. I began NOT for the weight loss ( although I did loose 50 lbs) but to become healthier. It’s truly easy eating for me. Within 3 month of beginning, I got off all meds. I have so much more energy. No gasses, bloating, uncontrollable feeling. Wish I’d learned of this many years earlier. 💜
I'm 30 and just got on it. The difference is night and day. On only on day 5 I can feel HUGE differences, energy, no bloating feelings, much more focused and sleep is already improving. I can't wait to see the long term results. Good job!
I am 73, and now carnivore for 10 days. I am so thankful Bella warned me to expect diarrhea. It's pretty severe. When your body responds like this, how do you know that you don't have parasites?🤪
I became diabetic from pre-diabetes. This occurred from advice from a nutritionist and family doctor. I decided to do the carnivore diet. In several months I reversed my type two my A1C went from 6.6 to 5.4 and I lost over 60 pounds. Gone is Brain fog, anxiety and arthritis. Came off 3 meds. Thriving now 🙏😎♥️
Me too on the T2D. I’m 73 and started losing on keto type diet about a year or 18 months ago. I’ve lost about 80 lbs but have about another 100 +lbs to still lose. I’m doing a keto/ketovore/carnivore diet now to try to get back on the wagon. Since October and over the holidays I fell off the wagon due to travel, events, and holidays. So on 2/1/24, I’m now back on the wagon and have lost half of the weight that I had gained over that period. I have another 7 lbs to lose to pick up where am left off. 🤞🏻onward and downward!😊
My blood pressure, blood glucose and weight did not change at all during three weeks on carnivore. Now the constipation an diarrhea are over, I expected at least some changes, but there are none. I will continue for awhile, but am not encouraged.
@@GladysMokgatle Up the fat, down the protein. You will see benefits when you are in ketosis. Too much protein does not allow ketogenesis but gluconeogenesis instead (not true for everybody but I think that's your catch!).
I am a 71 year old male and started carnivore 03/01/2021. I haven't experienced any of these problems but I did go through about 6 weeks of very loose bowels. Afterwards, I returned to normal and have had no other problems. I have lost 80lbs since I went on a carnivore diet. Also, my beard became much thicker within 8 months of starting the diet. Lastly, I had cancer 9 years ago and lost all the hair on my legs and arms which never came back until, in the last 3 months, the hair on my limbs has returned. All the inflammation in my knees and hands is now gone and I am no longer on a daily prescription nsaid (Meloxicam). This life style change has been better than any other diet I have been on and I have tried them all including vegetarianism. Love my life
@@nikolaudio Hey, I eat about 3/4 lb of ground beef, 4-6 eggs, and usually a pound of some other meat, such as a steak, Roast, Salmon, ham, or chicken. Sometimes I have cheese but I find that any dairy triggers my ice cream cravings (not a good thing). I use sea salt and am going to start using an electrolyte as soon as they are delivered. This may seem like a lot, but I am a 6'2' 242lb male, am very active, and I work out. I usually eat between 2-6 everyday although somedays I eat eggs around noon. That's it, I am rarely hungry and feel great.
@patrickmurray3724 awesome! 55 myself, and transitioning from keto to carnivore. Menopaused from chemo, so has been abrupt for me. No more migraines. Skin looks great, dismissed dark circles and no sore joints. I'm loving this feeling of being energized from within.
I've started Keto about 5 months ago, but as I quickly lost weight and muscle mass, I switched to carnivore after 2 months. The changes were amazing! No more nausea and fatigue as during keto, gaining muscles rapidly, feeling energetic and strong, no cravings whatsoever. My weight is perfect right now, I lost 28 pounds and want to keep my current weight of 130 pound. I noticed, that I really enjoy my daily steaks, can't eat patties any more, like boiled eggs, but feel bad after eating fried eggs. Eat organic butter, no other milk products. When it feels right - gut feeling - I eat some berries from my garden or 1 or 2 tomatoes like once a week. I eat my first meal in the late morning between 10 and 11 and another between 3 to 4 p.m. After this I don"t feel hungry any more til next morning or noon. The most amazing result since being carnivore is that my unbearable pain in my hip joint has disappeard! I could hardly walk and never without pain. Now I work in the garden, walk or cycle daily, and practice some weight lifting. I haven't felt this great since my thirties, I'm 64 now, feeling way younger and I could't be more grateful to our carnivore youtubers, showing us the way! ❤
Thats what I feel about eggs too. Boiled are ok, then add butter & pepper, fried eggs are too rich. I think I should try scrambled with a little water. Edit: by accident, found that COLD fried eggs in butter are delicious! Tried scrambled eggs using some whipping cream, and they were very light, but my weight went up a bit. So dairy, apart from butter, may be doing something.
@@melaniedubose290 up til now no. When I make my steaks I always look forward to eating it and enjoy the taste every day, amazing! I haven't expected this either. Oh, and same with eggs and butter.
@@melaniedubose290 not yet, but this is only my 2nd week. Tired of the grease all over, despite using a spatter screen or 2. I'm clearing all open stuff away, so it will be easier to clean.
Fish and shellfish saved me on carnivore. I got to the point where just looking at a rib steak made me sick... and I loved steak all my life. Wild caught fish and shellfish kept me on the carnivore diet.
I started carnivore four years ago come Thanksgiving. I had always been veggies and eggs, but was continually breaking bones. After starting carnivore, I lost all but fuzz within about 3 months. Many thought I had undergone chemo or something. Now, I have hair to my waist, thick and curly. I am 67 years old. As a child, I was tortured each holiday at least with the wash and set ritual before conditioner for de-tangling was a thing. Oh it was horrible. With long straight hair, the pain was rough for a young child. Now, I beg forgiveness for enjoying such luscious curls at no tortuous expense! No broken bones for four years and no more pain at the break sites. That alone would be worth the diet, but thank God that's not the only benefit!
@@almaburns6562 yes, at least on the last 5 or 6 inches. It looks like 4 year old granddaughters! I am a little concerned that once I cut it the curls will be gone, so I don't, but for now, it is awesome!
@@almaburns6562 The color has stayed the same, gradually still progressing from dark brown to med. gray to some white. I would complain, but nah! Just glad to have what I have.
I'm 57, my hair is to my waist, curly wisps, original dark brown color, a few stray gray hairs pop up on top at times. We have been drinking raw milk for 18 years now. Free range meat only, beef, chicken, eggs, a little veggies, fruit , lots of butter and Redmond salt. Collagen from bone broth. Essential oils, like rosemary, biotin, collagen. Also extra supplements of electrolytes. Wash hair only once a week with organic pure ingredients shampoo, conditioner. Essential Oil blends for hair, castor oil, coconut oil once a week. Liquid vit A. Stay away from smart meters and 5g wifi can cause hair loss. We have better teeth now also. We made homemade raw milk formula for youngest 2 sons, now grown. Tall strong healthy beautiful teeth, no cavities.
Loss and thinning of hair is caused by deficiency of vitamin B7 (biotin). Partially due to not eating enough of food containing vitamin B7 and partially due to malabsorption. Second missing element is collagen that adds flexibility. Best source of vitamin B7 are eggs. Followed by red meat and fish (salmon & sardines)
Eating grass fed ? Growing new follicles can do that but new hair and even better hair is growing in thanks to the carnivore diet. All hair loss is not necessarily bad hair loss. Also clean the scalp of all excess oil and stimulate the scalp for better blood flow.
HAIR LOSS!!! Thank you for this, I just came accross this after getting out of the shower and WADS of hair are in the drain! I was flabbergasted! Thanks for pointing out that my issue probably happened a few months ago.....as it did! My new GP decided to cut my Armour thyroid by 50%. I started a very demanding new job position at the college I work at, cracked my ribs, my son was shot filming drug dealers and then I broke my leg. My hair started to fall out and it ramped ip to gobs of hair just this week. I will just continue with my carnivore lifstyle and calm down!
My doctor did the same, then finally cut my Armour out complete. Started losing my long hair and developed dry eye, as well as several thyroid goiters. During COVID lockdowns at that when you couldn't get in to see your own doctor hardly, much less a new one! Took me awhile but I finally made it back to an old doctor where I'd previous lived. So now I drive almost 2 hours, but it's worth it. The FIRST thing was he put me back on Armour. GET A NEW DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY!
I ate my first two bites of pure butter tonight! Today, January 23, 2024, is my second day on the carnivore diet. I'm a 47 year old female. I need to lose 70 pounds and I have a long list of "minor" health issues that I'm hoping to resolve. I haven't eaten a strict carnivore diet the past two days, yet I'm already have some tiny improvements in health issues that I normally deal with every day. I'm very excited about this journey. I want to be in the best health I've ever been. Thank you to you and all the faithful creators of carnivore content for giving me the information I needed to start this path without fear🩷
Thanks for asking🙂 I have been struggling with my love of sweets. I can go a week or two eating a variety of carnivore foods and feeling great, but a stressful day or a moment when I need to eat and have nothing carnivore available gets me off track. I 100% still consider myself carnivore because that is how I prefer to eat. I have been taking the relaxed route by allowing myself to go off course without putting myself down, but at the same time paying close attention to how foods affect me. I can confidently say that carnivore eating is satisfying to my body and my brain. When I eat off plan I always notice the feeling of emptiness that comes along with those foods. I may be bloated and have a buzz from the carbs, but my stomach feels unfed and my brain feels neglected. I crave meat now when I eat anything not on plan. Cold butter is my cheese. I am very thankful for learning about carnivore! I want to tell everyone about it🤗
I lost a third of my hair after being a year on carnivore. However, as I watched this video it occurred to me that my dad died two and half months before my hair loss, and I was his primary support for the 3 months prior to his death. It was, indeed, a very stressful time. I remember praying for strength almost every day--which was granted--but I needed that extra strength.
@@j.m.ney-grimm3029 you’re welcome! I know it’s so hard to lose our dear loved ones. What a blessing that he had you to care for him in his final days on earth.
I'm sorry for the loss of your Dad. Grief affects us in so many far reaching ways and especially so after you took care of him, that couldn't have been easy for you. Can I ask did your hair loss resolve?
@@MagickIsPower I'm still missing the hair, alas. I've been carnivore for 2 years now, so I think I have an underlying problem to resolve. I suspect that CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome) may be the culprit. I'll be getting some labwork soon to try and pinpoint it.
Hello from another Chinese American Carnivore!! I'm only 22 days in, but my hair loss has gotten so much better! Plus a lot of other health benefits. I'm shocked! I'll keep going and see how things develop for me. Thanks for sharing your experiences, it's so helpful to help me navigate through this lifestyle change.
I went from keto to ketovore/carnivore. As the pounds started falling off, so was my hair. Then we went through a drought and my friend's fruit trees dropped all of their fruit and a lot of their leaves. He told me it was the tree's way of self-preservation. I think some people have hair loss because the body is reacting to the steady weight loss. When my weight loss started to slow down my hair loss also slowed down and my hair started looking like it did before ketovore/carnivore. I guess the body knows that it is leveling off, so to speak.
I am 48 years old and was always over weight. I started intermittent fasting to loose weight and 2 weeks in, also changed to carnivore. So now I do both, intermittent fasting plus carnivore. I have lost 40lbs plus I have lots more energy during the day and do not get that lethargic feeling during day. I still have to loose another 24lbs to get to my ideal weight and will continue on the carnivore lifestyle. I love it.
What Bella shares about hair loss is factual. My experience: About 15 years ago I was hospitalized after a burst appendix which went septic. Nearly died, spent about 21 days in the hospital and received continuous IV antibiotics. Within about two weeks after being discharged from hospital, I noticed a huge loss of hair. Also, my skin and nails were sloughing off. Shaved my head and hair eventually grew back. Fast forward to my Carnivore experience. I have been on Carnivore diet for just over three years. I did experience the hair shedding, thinning about 3 months after starting this WOE. It only lasted for about 10 days and then I began to notice the new growth "baby hairs" coming in. A few months ago I went on a two week vacation and allowed myself to eat desserts and drink alcohol everyday. About a week after returning home, I noticed increased hair loss for about a week. Back to my clean WOE and hair,skin,nails getting better every day. Lesson learned!
My hair loss was far greater during vegan diet. And when I switched to carnivore and returned to eating beef and eggs after a decade, my hair was growing back and my beard, that had stopped growing, began to grow again and had to start shaving again! My whiskers were growing so slow and turning white, I didn't have to shave for a month! Now back to having to shave every few days. When I was young, had to shave daily or have a 5 o'clock shadow. My vision also improved and returned after carnivore, I was becoming legally blind after 7 years of vegan diet. The perpetuated lies and misinformation of the plant-based diet agenda is so dangerous. Still seeing videos claiming PhD's stating all you have to do is eat beans to get protein and don't eat so much! What a load of crap! I did so, and became malnurished, and pre-diabetic. And never got all my essential amino acids, or taurine! And no collagen. Which aged my skin. Not to mention the lack of B-12. and other B-complex vitamins! Damaged my nervous system, caused tinnitus, and vision loss.
Wow! So glad you found a way to reverse or help those issues from a vegan diet. I was on it for a couple of years and currently working on correcting some things too with this way of eating.
Specify vegan diet? Vegan only tells me what you didn't eat not what you did. I highly doubt you ate a sensible diet, my guess is you likely enforced calorie restriction.
@@joshbanks5779 He went from one extreme to the other. Like all orthorexics do. And I wouldn't ever call people like him "vegan". He was plant based at best. In a couple of months, maybe a year he will again change his diet and blame his various health problems solely on the diet (but at least with a diet as restrictive and insane as the carniwhore diet I would actually believe him, lol).
I notice that with fasting, my body will choose itself when to do it. I eat when I'm hungry and don't when I'm not. I don't put too much thought into it anymore. There are days that for 3 days in a row I'll fast for 18h and then the rest of the week I eat 2-3 meals per day. I've found that listening to my body has been a big factor but that took a learning period to understand what my body was signaling.
For me, it’s the opposite. I want to gain weight. I’m 5’2 and 94 pounds. I ate too lean in the beginning. 😞 Now I add a heaping tablespoon of beef tallow and my favorite meat nowadays is oxtail with all that good fat! It’s like my body woke up and says finally you are giving me good food! I feel better and I have so much mental clarity and my energy is so much better. Thank you! You saved me!! 🥰💜🌻
This is one of those great videos for providing the audience a platform through which they can freely communicate their experiences. As to the actual video; 1. Most people tire of limited menus of any kind, 2. Hair loss accompanies most major weight loss, and 3. weight loss plateau or gain was not directly addressed.
Broke my leg being stupid, being carnivore, they gave me toast and cheese in the Hospital. When i got out of the hospital everyone is amased that i am just healing so fast. Thank you dr.baker.
I'm 69 years old and almost 60 days in. I find that I'm full all the time. I don't need to lose any weight although lost 3 lbs and that bloated feeling is gone. I now live this lifestyle for health reasons and I continue to see improvements. So glad I just happened to see a Dr. Berry video and found you as well. We all know there's no such thing as coincidence! Thank you Steak and Butter Gal, so informative.
Just be sure that the improvements are not self delusion. In a month of carnivore, I am finding absolutely no changes in blood pressure, weight, blood glucose, or anything else. I must continue for awhile, but am not optimistic.
@@GladysMokgatle Thanks for your input. The truth is that I feel sooooo much better since beginning carnivore. Whatever caused me to be bloated is not there anymore. I did start back on some carbs but keep that so low (around 20 or less per day) and my head seems clearer, no brain fog anymore. My energy level has really increased, just not sleepy after eating anymore. If anything it has opened my mind to the poisons in many foods, especially breads (wheat) which I cut out completely, sugar completely out of my diet and so on and so on. Arthritis has improved too (probably because no sugar anymore). Sugar is even in bread! Wishing you all the best.
I came into carnivore healthy and with a good moderate muscle/low body fat composition. I don’t need to lose weight; I need to gain and maintain muscle. I’m eating 5 smaller meals daily. I started carnivore on 8/2/23 and I’ve been playing with fat:protein macros to achieve my body composition goals. Right now I’m just about 1:1 fat:protein ratio of about 170g per. This seems to work for me for maintaining muscle and keeping low body fat. I love your vids - thank you!
Ooooooh that meat aversion was STRONG in my first 2 months. I couldn’t eat beef without gagging a few bites in. I’m so glad I persisted! 40 pounds down, so much healthier and no more meat aversion 🎉🤗
I had similar issue, never tried ribeye but all other steaks tasted like liver to me, drinking water during the meal would help me to eat more because I knew I wasn't eating enough. Now (6th month in I realised I am eating much more meat but don't have a need to drink water during my meals)
Oh wow, I'm just starting carnivore and have that problem. My flat, kitchen, hair and clothes smell of cooking meat now - and I am so not used to it!! I do not (yet) like it. 😢
Honey I totally find you so interesting. I'm 74 and been fine on this new way of eating. I still don't stay asleep, but I'm old and up all night going potty.the good thing is I'm able to fall right back to sleep. That I've never been able to do in the past. I'm only hungry barely in the early afternoon and again at about 5 but I'm really not hungry but I'm afraid I'll get hungry later and I'm trying to fast from 4pm to 11: 30 am. I have never craved sugar and I do drink 1 cup of coffee in the morning except now if I put cinnamon and 3 drops of Stevie it's the same to me as milk and sugar only better😅. Thank you for all your information. It's been wonderful.😊
I just wanted to share that low iodine in the diet can cause hair to fall out. I'm wondering how many of you have switched out your iodized salt for hymalayan like i did. I switched them out and maybe 3 months later, my hair fell out in chunks and my heels hurt. There is no iodine in hymalayan salt. Little cans of smoked clams or oysters is packed with iodine and sardines in oil probably has alot too. Alot of times the land an animal is raised on can be mineral deficient. And all you get is what the animal got. I have goats and our area is seleneum deficient. So i have to inject it into the animal every year and try to get the critter to get enough in loose minerals. If I dont, rhe animal gets rough coat, clicking knees, and may have dead babies. If the farmer isn't giving the cow an iodized salt block...guess what...you don't get enough in YOUR diet either. Nobody can thrive without iodine coming from SOMEWHERE. I know its not meat but one sheet of seaweed paper is a daily dose worth of iodine. The Himalayan salt has alot of goodies in it..just not iodine. I just shared a hard lesson learned.
I love your segments! You are inspirational. I had the issue with the hair (still) and have come to the conclusion that I was not eating enough, and doing too much fasting too soon while my body was trying to heal from diabetes, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea etc etc. Way too much for my body to deal with at one time on one meal a day. So now I am eating twice or three times. I have increased my protein and cut my hair (was past my butt), to my shoulders, so my body did not have to deal with so much. I feel better and am putting way less stress on myself. I am low carb for the rest of my life. I am going to be kinder to me and realize it is a lifelong thing. Not a race.
Hi! So I realized that too much protein made my hair fall out. For months. It started off with protein powders and next thing I knew? Eggs. Coffee. Chicken breasts. And a host of foods that were supposed to be good for me. I came to realize that it was too much. I didn’t need all that protein. My body couldn’t process it. And what my body couldn’t process turned to sugar. Which took out my hair. That was just my journey. But maybe you may be experiencing something similar.
Very good show-thank you so much for your service to humanity and others-my wife has been going through hair loss-on the good side of what carnivore diet has done for has been short of miracle for her-leg cramps have stopped-went off diabetic meds-went off high blood pressure meds-went off Inhaler meds-stopped wheezing coughing all the time and walking better and feeling better
I’ve had chronic reoccurring telogen effluvium for over 10 years. Did keto and lost 45 lbs which triggered a bad shed. Been doing more ketovore/carnivore the last 2-3 months and my hair is starting to grow back 🙏🤞 On keto, my fat wasn’t high enough, and I did a lot of plant based protein powders, as well as restricting my total calories more than I should have. Upping my fat, red meat, and dumping most plants is what is helping me now. I’ve been taking pictures and I’m hoping to share some dramatic before and after pictures in a few months. Going from metabolizing carbs to a high fat low/low carb diet is a shock to the system. As well as losing a lot of weight in a short amount of time. But it will grow back! If you’re in the midst of a bad shed, consider seeing a dermatologist and they can do a steroid treatment on your scalp to help slow some of the shedding and help stimulate growth. Also consider a red light helmet. Rogaine is also an option for telogen effluvium.
Thank you so much for this video. Needed it, I was struggling with the lack of variety. After 90 days I’m not sure I’ll be 100% carnivore because I do like some fruits like lemons, limes, green apples, fresh plums, etc. I like the sour flavors but I will definitely be leaning more to the carnivore diet because my benefits were immediate. Lost weight and feel better than I have for years. 👌👍👏
Yeah, I'm a 90% carnivore. I still love tea with honey once a day, and a few nuts or fruits once in a while. But everything else is eggs, butter, beef, and smaller amounts of chicken or fish.
Super excited & thankful for your channel. I have tried several of your recipes including you mom’s egg pudding! I appreciate your transparency regarding not one size fits all for Carnivore. I was Keto 10 months prior to this week and had experienced hair loss. Today I’m feeling headachy & nauseous so I’ll look for another video. Smile! Thank you!!!
Ive been on a carnivore diet for 6 years, yet many influencers usually tout eating mostly ribeye only... This is a myth, and many others are thinking, "ribeye", is the way.... Any beef, lamb or bison is still meat!
I love variety. Breakfast is sausage and eggs, lunch is chicken(my favorite) and dinner is a ribeye. Same thing every single day but by doing it this way I crave each meal. I do occasionally have tuna or crab salad. This is with real mayo LOL and yes its bad but its oh so good! I am Maintaining 165 to 168 pounds and cant believe how easy this is.
I eat a lot of variation of eggs, omelets, with cheese, bacon, and large slabs of salmon, Sardines. Mackerel', prawns, shrimp. bacon and egg, Flavored soufflé made from egg, and cream, Salmon Terrine. Chicken legs, chicken thighs, chicken drumstics..all with the fatty skin and and all. make broth by cracking the chicken bones open and cooking and reducing it down to jelly that I stuff in the freezer for use another day. There is no shortage of options of what you can do.
I like your channel best!! A month in and the only issue is still high cysteine and food alergies. Because of cystines I was bald. I'm loosing hair again but the muscle building is amazing
Bless you! I, too, am a musician and have to learn music quickly. I’m not full carnivore, at this point. But, I’ve dramatically shifted my dietary intake towards more meat. I’m noticing some of the same effects of clearer thinking. I also have more energy after setting up for a gig to actually play!
I loved Factor before I went carnivore! (Queso Fundido was one of my favorites too!) One suggestion for those ordering from Factor: when the box arrives, take the cardboard sleeve off of each package, one at a time, turn it upside-down, and put it back on. For some odd reason, Factor puts the title of the dish on the underside of the package. Anyway, it’s easier to pull it out of the fridge and tell what’s in it if you take a couple of minutes to do this.
Best you can do for your hair is not washing it with chemical shampoo. Wash it as little as possible. Olive oil Cocos oil Argan oil rubbed in your scalp night before washing helps a lot too.
Thank you so much for how you present all your experience, knowledge, and, most importantly, compassion. I’m new and excited but also easily overwhelmed. This video helps a lot!
I missed strong flavors. To address it I used a tiny amount of mustard or pickle juice. It helped a lot. Plus, pretty quickly I came to really appreciate simplicity. Cooking and eating takes less time and my food life lost obsessions. It's just food. I enjoy it, but it isn't on my my mind that much. Hmmm...peace...very calming and pleasant.
Thanks Bella, great pointers:) 1) Difficult to put on healthy weight and muscle. 2) Meat aversion and pallet fatigue. 3) Hair loss. on average 3 months after a triggering event, bad diet like a vegan diet or SAD diet, trauma, etc.
71 year old native here. Just halfway started on carnivore about 2 weeks ago, though now I'm getting more serious about it. Type ll diabetic, plus other health issues. Ate 3 eggs and one home cooked hamburger pattie at 8:30 am this morning. It's 6:30 pm as I write this, I still feel full, not hungry at all, and I actually feel better than I usually do. Oh yeah, I had a snack of 1 tbsp of butter at 3:30, still not hungry. Though that wasn't my goal, I went down 2 notches on my belt, don't feel bloated or uncomfortable, maybe there's something to this. I went into it sceptical, I love veggies, but have almost cut them out too and don't feel deprived at all. Maybe it's working for me ? Thank you for your informed advice, I am a new subscriber, your channel is great and gives me info that's understandable and practical. 👍🏽 Also, I have one arterial stent so my sodium is limited to 1,900 a day, and I try to stay in that range so my stent doesn't stop working, so I can't drink salt water..so far , so good. Thank you
Get well inforned. Table salt has NOTHING to do with himalayan salt or unrefined, unbleached sea salt. Find out what dehydration has to do with electrolytes and why athletes drink WATER WITH ELECTROLYTES ALL THE TIME and do not suffer from high blood pressure or kidney issues. Big pharma has told us sooo many lies that it's nauseating.
I’ve almost given up on carnivore. I’m very sensitive to grains and was reacting to grain fed beef. Long time celiacs sufferer. Can’t afford the grass fed! Forget organic! Recently moved and now have meat markets. Inflammation finally starting to improve. Started carnivore diet 5/1/32. Maybe now I’ll see that magic happen that everyone talks about.😊
Ahhh finally someone else who is sensitive to grain fed beef (in large amounts for me)!! I got so jealous of carni influencers eating Costco meat lol and I tried it myself and now I have gout on my ankles. :( I did beautifully on 100% grass fed and finished beef for months and healed alot but when I switched, things changed. It is expensive but I try my best to budget where I can eat some quantity red meat per week. I do believe it heals! ❤
"inflation" caused by the last 3 years false imprisonment due to a scam is literally just started. Fiat system had a controlled demolition by the rulers to usher in the new digital monetary slave system. A crash happens when you stop business for 3 years...that was the plan. It worked. Sterilise the population. Plug out the old system. Plug in the new update slave system with less people which is easier to control for the rulers.
@@PhyllisWalls-nr2tl I'm planning on getting a month's worth of grass fed beef from a local farmer next month and see how my inflammation does on strictly grass fed beef, water + salt.
I’m not quite carnivore but you gave me the ok to increase my fats. I pretty well live on brisket. I just got back my cholesterol back. My HDL is in the 60s. First time in my 50 some years!
I liked when she said: I loved doing experiment to see how it changed my mood, my energy, my mental clarity, she didn’t say: my weight, so I am I. I don’t care about weight I care about health if I will get healthy weigh manages itself.
Thanks for the tips, I 'm 54, started strict carnivore April 1,2023. I was 183 lbs. High blood pressure, severe joint pain. So in first 2 months lost 25 pounds, blood pressure way down. Walking 2 miles every morning. Weight lifting 3 times week, still having really bad joint pain, depression, and fatigue. Any suggestions?
Lyme disease? My joint pains disappeared after starting carnivore pretty quickly, and I am sure I don´t eat eneough fat, for now I prefer leaner meats... So maybe there´s some other issue? Lyme disease wat the first thing that came to my mind. But it is difficult to find out if that might be lyme d. MyMum had her blood tested-nothing. And one day she suddenly had a fever and after several days in hospital and lumbar puncture thy discovered that it was hiding there, full blown, took her 6 moths of rehab to walk again.
@@wandalowe5578 Yes, I use Thorne brand...mostly, but you can also take keto chow daily minerals which has the potassium and magnesium along with other great minerals.
I personally want to thank you for inspiring! I have been challenged by health not weight.. I want to gain muscle and it’s coming. I notice my body wants dietary fat I have been trying hard to eat bbbe and heavy cream, but open to a carnivore diet. I love the freedom when shopping.
So the scalp exfoliates as does the surface of the skin. Consider folic clogging and Bactria that has been trying to escape for sometimes decades. I have very fast growing hair and nails now. I created a colloidal silver spray and water to help scalp heal to a healthy state...again. I wet hair, spray solution and allow to soak after combing through. Then shampoo and sun dry. Since discovering carnivore I have had the most wonderful change to well being that I haven’t known since I was a child. 🥩❤️
hair loss: another factor might be low or high thyroid problems. I have been carnivore for over a year and I'm still having lots of hair come out when I wash it, and also when I brush it. Plus age! You are so sweet and helpful.
I'm glad you mentioned losing wait and trying to add muscle. I feel like I can't lose anymore weight and even lost muscle. I'm going to try to eat more.
I've been on the carnivore diet for a couple months and I love it. Aside from weight loss, the first thing I noticed within a few days was a reversal of ED. Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere but it happened quickly. I had just started with the pills last year but have no need for them anymore! I also haven't had any pimples either. Processed surgery foods truly are poisonous. Age-57
I’ve been carnivore since March ‘23…and my hair only started falling out 6 weeks ago…My hair volume is probably around 50% now. Thank goodness my hair is curly. The months ago I started more fasting and OMAD. I felt amazing and never felt low on energy. So no more fasting at this point. I’m a 57yr old female and just feel, for me, fasting is too big a strain on my system. Bummer
I think supplementing with iodine has helped me with hair loss I was shedding like crazy on Keto. My vacuum and bathroom drain were constant problems now I can feel my hair getting thicker
@@dianapopa9502 I have had a new intense shedding period since I posted this but it is finally calming down again. Hair is a delayed response but I don’t know an actual timetable
Bella, this was perfect timing! Just yesterday, I realized I needed to eat more, more frequently and add more cheese to the mix too, so I don't lose anymore weight. I feel good though and everything else is on track. 1 1/2 years carnivore/ketovore and I feel better than I have in 20 years (I'm 63). I just don' t want to lose anymore weight.
In my case, I forced in organ meats too early and it totally turned me off to the diet. Felt like 4 weeks in was long enough but after a week trying to eat the same 1 oz of liver I pretty much gave myself an excuse to give up. Getting back on the horse now with a renewed mindset. Thanks Bella :)
Hi, today I am on Carnivore Day 20 and up till now my appetite is so much different everyday. Still figuring out all of this day by day. I am not used to eat so much meat and eggs, so yes, variety helps me a lot.
Thank you for this. I started carnivore on Aug 1 this year and am so happy with the results so far. My arms are less itchy, my joints hurt less, I have lost almost 25 pounds, my husband doesn’t wake me up all night for snoring anymore, but most importantly, my blood pressure is now normal with no meds. My 17 year old son was starting to join me in this adventure when he fractured a vertebrae in his lower back. Thankfully it is not bad, and he should be able to beging working out and sports again in 2 more months, but he initially lost 14 pounds when it happened and he has been worried about being able to gain it back while doing carnivore. I’ve been telling him to make sure he eats enough, but he was happy to hear that adding in more dairy should help.
I am glad you touch on the topic of hair loss. I started the carnivore plan in May of this year and I'm now seeing the hair loss clumps. My hair dresser said, you have a lot of baby hair coming in. So I was relieved to hear that. How long does the hair loss last? I have also experienced weight loss. I think I am losing weight but it's seems like a lot now. I went from 146 to 126 and just the other day 123. It wasn't' my main goal. My main goal was and is still to get healthy. Thanks.
Substantial intake of complex carbs both provide energy and therefore optimise the hair growth cycle. If you're not getting enough nutrients the body won't prioritise hair growth/renewal and divert nutrients to other parts of the body.
Started carnivore April 2023. I was terribly sick from my Dr taking me off Depakote (bipolar drug) cold turkey 8 years ago. He grimaced & said u might lose weight. In one month I'd lost 37 lbs.(down to 103 lbs.) I tried to gain weight for 8 years, eating fruit, juices, organic vegetables, beans, occasional salmon & filet mignon, gained up to 108 lbs from 103, I'm 5'4". Stayed at 108 for 8 years. First 2 months on carnivore I GAINED 15 lbs. I GAINED 2" of FAT in waist & lower abdomen, boobs,butt. I can't fit in my clothes. I started Lion Diet one month to try to lose this weird fat. I haven't lost any "yet." The most stress I have is being scared I can't get rid of this fat! I'm sleeping better than in years! I'm 68, menopause is over, labs are "carnivore perfect," taking 60mg Armour Thyroid for 12 years. In 6 months the only carbs I've eaten in 6 is fermented pickles. When I saw fat coming on, I'd been eating 1/2lb uncured side cut bacon/day. Did eating that much fat make me put on fat?
You should probably get your thyroid checked, you may not need as much thyroid medication. Also are you getting pink salt as well as lugols iodine to support your thyroid function? Check out Dr Brownstein book the Thyroid Cure.. very informative.
Thanks Steak and butter gal, excellent content as usual. My struggle with carnivore is cost. With prices soaring, especially beef, I’m having an extremely difficult time maintaining the carnivore diet. I have found a local halal shop that will sell me a whole sirloin at $7.99/#🇨🇦. That still is $400/month just for meat. Being on a disability pension, this just wipes me out. I can go with primarily an all carb program for $80/month for a saving of $320. When it’s a choice of eat garbage, or don’t eat, it’s not much of a choice sometimes. At least buying at Mona Meats when I can saves me almost $300/month over buying at Costco, whose current pricing is approximately $13.60/#🇨🇦. It does take me about an hour or so, and throwing out approximately 1.5 lbs of extra fat, but it’s still worth it when I can afford to. It’s just that a whole sirloin is usually $150 at a time, and with a permanent disability pension that is a bit of a challenge.
I'm 4 months in on ketovore. I don't say carnivore because i drink coffee, zevia now and then, and use monk fruit occasionally. I just noticed i lost hair, very much like your pic, Bella! I was so sad and started looking up what it was and how to fix it. Watched a bunch of video's and now this one so I feel better. Down 24 pounds in the 4 months so yes, that was a stressor for my body. My diet prior to this was keto but I drank a glass of wine almost every night! LOL Now, I allow myself 1 drink per weekend.
The one thing I am really starting to notice is the cost. We are very low income and doing this for our health (me and my son). We are at week three. I spent way more this month on food than I normally spend. We shop once a month and it's going to be hard to eat this way. We bought 3 cases of eggs and loaded our small freezer with hamburger, pork, and chicken. I bought 4x the meat I normally buy, but, it is not going to be enough. So, I took my credit card and bought a turkey and ham (why not, it's Thanksgiving this week). We'll make it through the month adding that in. We have to eat this way. After chemo and a bone marrow transplant this is the only way my son can eat and with my diabetes and AS I've got to get it back on track. I just don't know how to do it on our budget. We eat two meals a day and we eat a lot of eggs. I've been prepping for the past 3 years for when food is hard to find or so expensive we can't afford.....everything we can't eat....beans, rice, flour, noodles.....I figured it would help us live, but, now I'm thinking it will kill us if we ever have to eat all the food I've been working so hard to store.
I had c-section and bad infection from covid a couple months after that then i did keto and fasting a few months after which i believe really healed my body but i did lose quite a bit of hair. I hope its growing back now
I suddenly got an itchy rash on my arms two days ago, luckily it seems it’s disappearing about as quickly as it came. It began after a 20 hour fast when I usually do 16:8. I was thinking about not continuing on carnivore ish but I’m glad I did. I feel better this way
Thank you for this video! The best part for me personally ix when you speak about tuning in to yourself and your body. That is my topic at this moment, and to hear you say all the importa t things about liste to your own body aswell as your own story, means so much to me. Needed to near that ❤ I am 10 months carnivore and healing from a lot, so this is a good moment to realjse that a healing body does what it needs to do and all I need to do is stzy on trach, watchand learn and trust the procces! Give my body time and space and confedence that this is the food it gets and needs and my new lifestyle around it is safe and okay. 😊
I wanted to start this diet to have overall better health, reduce chronic inflammation and to lose weight. I started the carnivore diet last year and had to stop after five weeks but I lost a lot of weight then. I restarted it again about 3 1/2 weeks ago and much to my shock I have gained 6 pounds. I’m disappointed but not devastated. I’m shocked and yet not surprised because I could tell I was not losing. This diet is quite complex and not as straightforward as we would like it to be. I do know that I am doing the best thing for my health and my body though. Hopefully I will begin to see the scale move down because I am at a very high weight but for now the reduction in chronic pain is enough for me to know that it is working.
I've been carnivore for 7.5 months. Not once have I experienced "flavor fatigue'. I do eat a rib eye 5-6 days a week. I can't wait. As good as the first one. I do eat other cuts of beef as well. However, my favorite is the rib eye. Lots of eggs (home grown) butter, bacon and cheese! Carnivore for life!!
I’m fortunate that no hair loss ever happened for me. My hair is so incredibly healthy. Better than ever before. Carnivore has saved my life in so many ways. I hope anyone that wants to heal their bodies to try it. Just try. You won’t be disappointed ♥️
Thanks Bella for sharing, I'm not a 100% carnivore, as there's days I just want fruit or veggies... I'm usually an omnivore, but slowly moving more to just meat... I definitely want blood after my cycle so it'll be a week of med rare steaks and bone broth.... If anyone is looking for a quick way to just get some protein and fat in but too busy to cook, boiled eggs is the way to go... you can cook from 5-8 eggs depending on your weight, drop them in boiling water for 5 mins (runny) 6 mins (soft) 7+ (Hard). This is so easy to do while you're getting ready in the morning when most people are rushing out the door. I don't even peel them, with a spoon I just scoop the top off and eat each one from the shell. So quick and easy and that's breakfast done. I'm full and it keeps me going for 5 hours before my next meal. And you can do this for any meal of the day... eggs are amazing for fat and protein. I do recommend organic pasture raised though... or your local farmer's market for fresh eggs. I use to make boiled eggs as snacks for work too, easy, hassle free and I can eat it cold.
Dr. Ken Berry tells all new carnivores, and those of us who've been on it for a while, that it's all right to eat whatever meat one can afford because any change toward eating this way is far better than dumping sugars and grains into one's body. While I do eat the very best 100% beef hot dogs, and I eat chicken, beef, lamb, and some fish, if I can't afford such things by the end of the month (one payday per month), I eat eggs, usually with ground beef (my personal favorite way to have beef is ground and browned) as the base for them. I also quickly found that staying OMAD (from when I was on keto) was the easiest thing for me to do because I'm just not hungry after having a normal size meal of meat or fish---I'm talking what any woman of 70 who is slender might eat in one dinner---and I'm not going to force myself to eat more. I do take ACV in water once a day, but probably will increase that to twice a day.
I lost half my hair after i started Carnivore had gone vegan before. Now my intestines have kicked back in, my hair is growing back in and im losing weight, and inches. I find i have to increase my protein intake with powdered protein them my muscles are much stronger. Have been enjoying the carnivore diet and make nourishing meals. I bake alot of beef brisket and it is truly delish especially when you cut in slices and bake it for another half hr in its own juices and beef broth or bone broth. As for your hair, make oil from bone marrow and apply to your scalp every week or 2or 3 times a week, you will be amazed at how fast your hair starts growing in. I use rice water as well .
I lost a ton of hair after a severe go round with covid, like maybe a third. It was for sure telogen effluvium, all three of us who got covid "together" lost a bunch of hair at the same time. Two and a half months after bam! It just started to come out by the handful. Had I gone on carnivore (or any other diet really) at that time I would have just assumed it was the diet.
