I lost 80 pounds on the carnivore diet If you want to know more shout the carnivore diet, I would start by watching Dr Ken Berry on RU-vid. Especially the live streams with his wife Neisha: / @kendberrymd

McDonald’s believe it or not add nothing to their beef. You can order hamburgers with bacon and it’s not the most cost-effective thing but without the bread and condiments there’s no preservatives or additives in the meat. I go to steak houses or rib crib a lot if I don’t have a choice, you can get some almost 0 carb sticks in certain brands or pork rinds. Mostly I just eat steak and hamburger cooked beef or bacon grease every day though
I know what you’re saying is true. My husband was 340 pounds at his highest weight. He was hospitalized and was told he had type 2 diabetes. For the first time in his life he had to take insulin. The doctors gave him a “diet” to follow which included 30-40 grams of carbs for each meal. We both knew that was crazy. Why would he want to eat all those carbs just to have to take more insulin shots to keep his blood sugar in check???? He immediately started the carnivore diet (against his doctors recommendations) and over a month we slowly and meticulously monitored his blood sugar levels and decreased his insulin (also against his doctors advice). It took about 5 weeks and he was able to completely stop taking insulin. That was 2 years ago. Today my husband is extremely fit and active and weighs around 170 lbs. it was the best decision he ever made. There are good doctors out there, but many aren’t good. If we had followed his doctors advice I’m 100% sure my husband would still be on insulin and on many medications or worse
I get emotional reading that. My goal is to make that difference for somebody else by telling my story. Where would your husband be if he had continued to consume carbohydrates and take the medication Most likely obese and unable to do anything physically active
@@BT-be8rh I'm not one to buy into conspiracy theories but man....this one kinda rings true eh? There is no money in curing what ails you but if 'they' can get you on meds for life....nothing but pure profit for the big pharma companies and a lifetime of misery for you.
I am a retired MD. I am impressed by your application of the education you found for yourself. You clearly "get it" and you teach it well to anyone who wants to know how to get healthier after living on a standard American diet. Thanks.
I started carnivore on January 2nd. I lost 80 lbs also. From 305 down to 222. I did one meal a day for about 2 months during that period also. It really does work. Our food is poison.
@@AroundTheYard-MNtry it, it’s absolutely amazing, I’m feeling 20 years younger. Bacon and eggs for breakfast, fatty rib eye for dinner, chicken wings or pork belly ribs. I can survive on one meal a day no problem.🥩
You nailed absolutely every point brock. I have lost 50lbs since mid February. I have been doing intermittent fasting and have had really great luck with it. I have learned as well that your body will not burn fat unless it absolutely has to. Your points on food quality are spot on. Whole foods are the answers. I have noticed travelling throughout the world and spending a lot of time in the united states that the quality of food that is convenient in the United states is significantly less than other parts of the world. Wish you all the best!
Dude I'm on day 42 of carnivore and I feel the best I ever have!!! Blood pressure is under control for once in my life! I've also been pretty strict, I even stopped alcohol. Down 20lbs so far!! It's been a great decision so far. Great work Brock💪💪
@@jimjoelliejack that's great to hear!!! I heard so many people talk about this way of eating for about a year now, and I was afraid to try it, but I'm definitely happy with my choices currently and feel amazing. Keep it up!!! 💪💪
@@LogCabinFirewood there was no need to be worried about it, I had a few problems but I dived straight in instead of weaning myself of the standard crap. I stopped drinking beer first, I loved my beer so that was reasonably difficult to do, I then stopped all sugars and carbs, I felt a bit crap, I had the shits for about a week, by that I mean I actually had some mishaps with my underwear 🤣, it’s due to your bowel getting used to its new regime. I also had some episodes of cardiac arrhythmias, that was worrying, but it’s a common occurrence, I stopped it by drinking sugar free electrolytes, I still drink them daily. I’m so proud of my new body, my friends think it’s amazing, I’ve even had people say they thought my weight loss was due to illness like cancer! I’m now riding enduro motorcycle, sea kayak fishing, running ( and I’ve got two full knee replacements) rowing, I’m am never tired in the day.🥩🥓
@@jimjoelliejack I literally went through everything you just described, trusting a fart the first 2 weeks was not a viable choice😂 I too am doing good electrolytes daily, and the beers wasn't that hard for me, I still miss having one , but I know it's not gonna give me the results I want at the end of the day. So that's my inspiration to refrain. Now quitting my international delight coffee creamer was hell. That was the last little bit of sugar I was holding onto. I was not a nice man that week quitting that stuff. Butter and heavy whipping cream is what I'm using currently, but even that I'm trying to phase out the dairy, and eventually get to just black coffee. 🤷♂️ we'll see how I can manage. Pretty sure I can continue to eat as clean as possible 🤜🤛
Hi, I’ve been on a carnivore diet since January, I’m 61 years old I work as an arborist in the 🇬🇧, as a young man I was very fit, I was a marine and a paramedic. As time went on I got heavier and unfit. I was over 15 stone, I was embarrassed of my body. My bp was dangerous high 160/90, I’m now 11 stones 8 and my bp is 124/70! I’m now as fit as I was at 20-30, I crave exercise and love looking at my new body. Eat 🥩🥓🍳🐟, it is a miracle. Thanks for posting and stay at it. I tell everyone I meet about it, I’ve got 2 people on it👍🥩
I’m proud of you, Man! I consider myself in decent shape and you out worked me in that heat. Your transformation is no joke! Shout it from the rooftops! 👊
BEST video EVER !!! I'm 70 years old 5'11" and now at 170 lbs after reaching my Plandemic high of 240. I spent a 1/3 of my life around 195 and another 1/3 from 160 to 175. Mikhaila Peterson's experience and Jordan Petersons moved me to carnivore. Once I lost weight just eating beans. Once on the Atkins diet. The doctors that we see were trained by the petroleum industry. John D Rockefeller gave over 100 million dollars to medical research & schools starting in 1901 and helped replace homeopathic treatments with medicines with a petroleum base. The FDA (Food & Drug Administration) that taxpayers fund, allow 6,000 substances in our EATING MATERIAL (it's NOT food) that most European countries have BANNED. Along with 160 countries have BANNED the import of US pork products because of the meds and garbage they are fed. In the early 1970's, the FDA came up with the food pyrimid that taught us to start our day with a sugary cereals. and vegetable & seed oils. ALL bad for you, but cheaper to produce, AND a BOON for Big Pharma. Many health issues arose. We have health issues that never appeared before.. Fruits & vegetables are MOSTLY Bio engineered for shelf life and presentation. Heritage fruits and vegetables aren't as pretty and don't last as long. BUT, the engineered produce is PATENTED. So, a corporation OWNS the RIGHTS to it's production and Heritage foods have all but disappeared. You can be sued for patent infringement. Farmers around the planet have been sued and lost everything because "Roundup ready" corn migrated onto their corn field from a neighbors corn field. BIG BUSINESS OWNS the food.
You are so right Brock Our son got sick 2 yrs ago. He started to feel cold all the time. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. Univ Of Mich hospital could figure it out. Last year a new doctor in town (we're like you, rural) tested him and said "hell, you have diabetes." He studied up on it and decided to go full carnivore diet. He now advises against going full bore into right away. Go slowly into it. He had extremely loose bowels for 3 weeks to a month. And like yourself, lost 80 lbs down to 195 in 6 months. No longer needs insulin because the diabetes is gone. Blood pressure normal. On his last kidney test they can't figure out how if you eat nothing but protein, he has no protein in his urine! Everything checks normal. he eats nothing but beef (steaks, burger, ribs, fat, bacon, eggs, and ghee butter on everything. I've decided to start in slow. Start on a beginner Keto diet and slowly switch to carnivore. So yes you are correct in what you say. God Bless.
Good job, Brock! It's definitely an eye-opener. I remember watching your older videos and watching Tony's videos, and he talked about the same diet and how it worked for you. Thanks for sharing! God bless
Great video and Congratulations I to started Carnivore diet a month ago. No Sugar, Carbs, Veggies or fruit or Alcohol. I feel better now at 55 than I did at 30 I have more energy and all my aches and pains are gone. I’m still learning with this diet.
Very well said Brock. You are right about the diet and about this video being your best. I truly love all of your videos but this one is definitely the best. Thanks
I'm posting on Jul 6th, I was taking about your weight loss to someone last night how you looked so much slimmer and healthier. Now 12 hours later BAM🤗 you post a video. I'm all in on your journey don't stop, enjoy your new lifestyle.👏
Hubby and I have been carnivore /Ketovore for years we are in our late 60s ..best thing we EVER did.. no meds, not diabetic anymore, lost weight, no joint pain...it's amazing...
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing your story. I’ve been carnivore 2 years now and feel more alive, energised, happy and healthy than I have my entire adult life. I’m almost 50 and feel like I’m 20 again. I lost 20 kilos and’s resolved all my previous health issues within the first couple of months. Everything you said is the truth ❤
You've been kicking butt with the carnivore diet. The results speak for themselves. I really need to follow your lead. You nailed everything here. Great talk! Thanks!
Congratulations on your achievement! I like your videos but this one is eye opening. Thank you 🙏🏻 I will share it with my son who after his divorce has gained too much weight and has me really worried.
Eliminating carbohydrates and eating Whole Foods is a miracle cure for blood pressure and diabetes, obesity, and a ton of other things. Thanks for watching
This is not something I would joke around about. Our health is the most important thing we have. I feel so energized. I was jogging yesterday. I haven’t ran in years I think the secret is doing it 100%. If you cheat or have some sugar, sometimes you will continue to crave the sugar. The only way to get ahead of the craving is to completely eliminate your trigger foods
I’m going thru the same exact thing right now! I’m 275 lbs blood pressure 165/95 . My doc put me on blood pressure medication and it made my kidneys hurt. I have tried almost everything to loose weight but I can’t stay consistent. You’ve inspired me to give this carnivore diet a chance. Thank you for this story man!
I believe that this diet can lower your blood pressure to the point that your doctor will allow you to get off of that medication. That’s just my personal experience
Do it, you will not regret it. It helps me by following RU-vid doctors and influences daily. They help you stay focused and you learn a lot about it. Good luck.
Fan -freaking-tasting video!!! Perfect timing! I am a week into carnivore and just starting to feel the “keto flu” and your to the point reminders and encouragement are exactly what I needed!!! Thanks a million and stay safe!!!
Thanks for the update Brock, HAAZAAAAA !! I went back and watched an older video of yours back when there was 80 pounds more of you and it was unbelievable and hard to watch honestly
Awesome video! Great job explaining your process. I will strongly consider this even though I'm not really overweight. It sounds like it will still help!
Hi Brock. I believe everything in moderation. 10 years ago I met with a friend in California that was a health nut. He was 51 years old and in great shape and was a triathlete for about 10 years. I don’t know what he ate during his life but I figure he followed a descent diet in order to be the number 3 triathlete in his age range in California. He always gave me hell because I was a light smoker and told me I would die young because of my bad habit. He ended up dying at 51 from a heart attack. I’m 65 now and still smoking and I feel great. Not sure why he passed away so young but I kinda figure life if like a car engine, the more you put it through its paces, the sooner it will fail. Don’t go too fast or extreme with anything in your life but enjoy it and embrace the many options available and I figure you will have the one good life that you have been offered. Nazdravja!
Thanks for posting this information. I started the carnivore diet this week and my mind is already clearer and my inflammation is getting better as well.
I am on a similar journey for about 9 months. It works! In addition I had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 2 years ago and now my doctor says my A1c tests show that it is completely resolved.
Loved this video Brock , i absolutely agree with you, been doing better myself, while I’m extremely active I was just getting bigger and had absolutely no energy. And for the most part I ate good and mostly only ate what I grew except for some junk food and some coke. So I started exercising even more and have cut back on what junk food I was eating and now can definitely feel the difference. Haven’t cut out the coke yet but that’s next on my list
Brock, I started doing exactly what your doing diet wise about 4 months ago. Down almost 50 pounds and all the metrics like blood pressure are very good. Fantastic video. I can’t help but wonder why they don’t teach this in school. I think I know……. Big pharmaceutical industry and the food industry are hand in hand in making us fat and sick. Can’t believe I’ve just been eating meat and feel amazing and am loosing weight. Great job sharing this.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Nothing makes me feel better than hearing other people improve their health. Especially if they did it because they saw my videos.
@@RockhillfarmYT I plan to share your video with a few people I hope change their lives also. Thanks again!! Great job….. I love the TYM videos but this is so much better.
You’re an inspiration, I have been all over the map in recent years. 10-11 years ago I was near 300#. I found a replacement food diet, basically soy based and limiting carbs, it worked and I got down to 225#, but it wasn’t sustainable. I slowly rose over the last ten years to 275. It’s time for a change. Thanks for the advice and knowledge, I’m going to seriously look into this diet and see if it is something that I can stick to, sounds “easy” I like steak and hamburger. I know there is more to it than that, I appreciate you adding a link to KenDBerry - it’s as good a place as any to start learning. Thank you Sir, hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend with your whole family. Have a great day Around the Yard - Brent
I just subscribed to your channel in hopes of seeing your health transformation. We have been carnivore for 17 months and are thrilled with the fitness results in our sixties! Dr. Anthony Chaffee is our favorite youtuber. He does live chats twice a week, where you can get all your questions answered by him and a supportive great group of folks. Congrats on a great decision of taking care of your health!
Absolutely brilliant thoughts, on how healthy the Carnivore diet is - shared on X. Been Carnivore myself, for 7 months - only eat one meal per day. Amazing to work all day, and not get tired or hungry. Blood pressure getting so low, I will be off that medicine soon. Had bad experience with statin drug to lower cholesterol, so dropped that - against doctor's wishes. As the Carnivore doctors explain so thoroghly, you do NOT want to lower cholesterol - you need it to be higher for health and longevity. Best of life and health to everyone! 🙂
What you were describing after cleaning out your system to burn a different fuel source in your body is called making a metabolic shift from burning carbs to fat. I read stuff on that in the 90s in a book called the anabolic diet. Essentially came from the Bulgarians in bodybuilding era where they studied and formulated the best way to build muscle mass.
Wanted to say thanks, after watching your last video regarding carnivore my wife and I have started our diet too. I started mine at 271 lbs and two months later am down nearly 30lbs. You motivated me to start this journey and continue! My chronic knee pain and drastically reduced and can’t imagine going back to my prior eating habits now! Thanks for the support and motivation to make my life better !
I encourage you to stick with it. I was really happy with my results this entire time and then in the last two weeks I feel like I’ve had an explosion of more energy and feeling better. It just keeps getting better as you improve your health.
I'm happy for you, like your style and hard work, and attitude, and agree with much of what you said. But i would hope you continue to be open minded. I lost 70 lbs on a keto IF diet for 4 years, but spiked my cholesterol to 326. I tried to think it wasnt a problem for 3 years, but eventually decided to go WFPB vegan, which lowered it to 145 within a few months, but ive gained 10 lbs over 6 months and sometimes crave protein. For me, the data linking ldl, apob, etc., to heart disease and early death was too great to ignore... i wish you the best of luck, and keep kicking out great videos!
You need to keep digging in the data. You’re wrong about that study high cholesterol leads to earlier death. There are studies out there that prove that wrong. See Dr.Chaffee, Dr Berry, etc read book by Dr Ben Bikman; Why we get sick. This one book changed everything for me. I’m not saying vegan is extremely bad but definitely not ideal diet/way of life for optimal health. In addition, you need to take all kinds of supplements to get the proper nutrition. You do not need to do that on carnivore.
Good Morning! I’m glad your weight loss journey is going well. It’s incredible how leaning down can resolve many health issues. Sometimes though genetics can get the best of us, and medication is needed. Congrats and keep it up!
Interesting, I'm going out, grab a pizza, diet soda and a hot fudge sundae and think about it. JUST KIDDING!!!! For anyone unfamiliar with keto / carnivore, it's amazing! No hunger, plenty of energy, just do it!
Not sure, genetics may play a role in certain things, but eating the proper human diet, carnivore or ketovore, will overcome much of this. If you stick to these diets, no alterations stay true to it, your results will be amazing. They have been for me.
Hey Brock, long time fan. First time commenter here. Your story is almost identical to mine. I’m 35. Tried all the diets. Low carb. Calorie counting. Etc etc. I’ve been on the podcast journey lately too. Joe Rogan has a lot of great guys on his show that talk a lot about health and everything you just said I 100% agree with. Not one thing you said was inaccurate (in my humble opinion) the hard part is sticking to it for me. I enjoy a plethora of food. Don’t ever like to eat the same thing twice. I like chicken, beef, pizza, fish, sushi… literally everything. So for me personally, what I’ve found that works best is to simply count the calories but have a very high focus on protein rich foods that are low in sugar and carbs and then exercise consistently. “Everything in moderation” is my motto. I drink lots of water. Try to exercise everyday (even if it’s just walking a couple times around the block) and keep my caloric intake below 1500 per day. That keeps me feeling good. And I don’t feel deprived. And I still get to mostly eat what I want. And I still lose weight. I’m 5’7” 180 pounds (196 at my highest) and when I’m consistently following this plan I always lose weight. Thanks for your video and I really appreciate you taking the time to educate the masses. This is good stuff.
I’m 34 5’11” and I’ve lost 60 lbs since Jan 1 2024 down to 230. Mostly carnivore. I haven’t started a workout routine but I do a lot of construction work and land work and go on walks from time to time.
Thank you for the most comprehensive “walk thru” of your process of finding health. I too have been listening to lots of opinions over the last four years and have come to the same conclusions! Carnivore certainly makes meal planning a breeze😂. After spending so much time on vegetable gardening it is a welcome but abrupt change in adventures👍
Absolutely agree, I'm a long haul truck driver and was in the same condition with BP, now a lion diet and an absolute game changer. Stay strong brother.
Great video, i’m gonna start the carnivore diet as soon as I can give up a worse habit and that’s drinking every night. Trying to overcome that problem first
@mossman7527 these types of addictions are no joke. Sugar addiction is similar to alcoholic addiction honestly. It will not be easy, but if you can move past it, it will change your life
Tyvm for this video what your saying is sooo true! By watching your video I realized it’s like a baby bird, the momma processes the food before she feeds her baby & your using the cow in the same way to filter your vegetables for you so your getting the good outta the vegetables without the toxins because the cow filtered that for you ❤
I appreciate you for making this video. It's become hard to talk about dietary choices these days, and one can almost say it's as jaded as politics and religion. I personally dont like to talk about the subject becuase of this, but feel compelled to share since you did as well. I have spent over a decade learning the subject and applying it to myself. I can share a few things I have learned, applied to myself, that work very well for me to share since you did as well to help some folks who may be struggling (Disclaimer: for informational purposes, please do your own research and consult medical doctor before making any changes): 1. Stay close to nature (you already learned this). Eat close to its proportional availability in nature. IE some foods are more available... Pay attention to that. Nutrient dense (high calorie) foods are hard to come by. eat sparingly or not all the time. Think fruit - it is only available in seasons. Plant food is grown out in nature with little to no chemicals, not made in a manufacturing plant. 2. There is a strong correlation to a persons BODY WEIGHT and HEALTH. All diets work. The one you should choose is the one you can stick to. There is a lot of research on the subject. Compliance is the science. 3. Move. We dont need fancy workout plans. We just need varied exercise. Remove ourselves from the last 200 years of progress. We had to hike mountains, climb trees, split wood, cut wood, swim, etc. Think about all the different movements in that and how they work your body. 4. Eating is a social activity. Try to eat with others. 5. Food is nourishment. Its not to be avoided. It is easy to fall into a trap of having a bad & abusive relationship with food. We all need to stop that. Find how to take 1 ingredient items found in nature, combine, share with other humans together. There is nothing wrong with food. 6. Bloodwork is your friend. It can tell you a lot about what's going on in your body. It can be done outside of your primary care doctor. Spend some time on the google machine. Lots of great labs can get your a rather comprehensive analysis for a few hundred bucks. Its not an expense, but an investment in your health. Cheers to you on your journey, wishing you the best! I hope you find a way to go about the subject that is enjoyable, satiating, healthy, and sustainable.
Thank you Brock!! I have been wondering what you were doing because you have lost so much weight. We just started a garden of our own a couple years ago so that sucks because I’ll have to hear about all that money I wasted on that. Do you still garden to give away or for your family?
Brock, Great video; I, too, am on a mission. I am a big man, but I got to 285lbs, I had a stroke in June of 2020. I was put on high blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, and, in the last year, blood sugar. I have moved to a mostly carnivore diet, eat whole foods, and remove sugar and seed oil. I am doing intermittent fasting and find it helps manage blood sugar. I have also removed the five inflammatory items for eight weeks and slowly added them back in. I found that I don't handle corn or soy well. I also watch many doctors on Facebook and RU-vid. One is Gary Berka (not an MD but has a PhD in human physiology). With him, I found I have the MTHFR gene test and supplement. Then I watch Dr. Erick Berg, Dr. Caterine Shanahan (she talked about seed oils in her book, Dark Calories. I have this in audiobooks. I eat eggs, we raise them, chicken, we raise meat chickens, red meat, pork (without nitrates) The more I eat from this list the better my blood sugar. Lastly I get a lot of general info from Bobby Parrish.
That's so inspiring to hear about the blood pressure improvement! I had a massive hypertensive crisis last year, and have been struggling with it for years. After 2 weeks on carnivore its in the 120s/70s for the first time ever.
Great video. I’m so happy for you. It’s wild how many times we have been given terrible guidance and information by “experts”. Thank you so much for your testimony. The history of the “food pyramid” is riddled with propoganda.
Im 6’1” and 145. Although my problem has always been weight gain rather than loss I understand how hard this can be. Keep up what you are doing! I watch you channel because I love seeing an entrepreneur doing what they love! People who have it in them to see business success, can also succeed at anything! They says the limit for ya bro. It may not be your fault, but is is your problem!!
I love your point about always seeking out the alternate opinion. The true goal is learning all you can and finding the truth. Not convincing yourself you're right because you're in an echo chamber. It just turns out that carnivore almost always works!
The “are you not entertained” pose in the thumbnail was a good touch. I recently lost a lot of weight too (220 to 190 in about 6 weeks) and it’s amazing the difference even that much weight loss makes, great job Brock, you just got your life back
Brock, I appreciate honesty, detailed story of personal struggle with health. I'm too struggling. My issue is Type II for past 10 years. Believe me, truth is in the change. Like movement, constant change in motion types - is what keeping us healthy. If body will do only one motion - sooner or later it becomes boring or traumatic. However, if different approaches are applied - body needs to re-group, rebuild new muscles, strength new joints and so on. Anyway, keep loving your body, try new healthy stuff (add bunch of fresh herbs (50gr of parsley, dill) to grilled steak). Next time for example, switch for a week to fatty fish (like Alaska bears in September). You know real carnivores(fox, wolves, bear) eat berries, mushrooms during seasons. Research "Mitake" or Hen-Of-The-Wood mushroom - they grow under dying Oaks - delicious and super healthy. Also, each of us have own "healthy weight" for particular age. You look Much Better now than when I started following your RU-vid. Anyway, I greatly appreciate this video, it is encouraging! Saw more lumber! Get some live edge slabs too!
Been carnivore for 11 months now! No more BP meds no more cholesterol meds, was pre diabetic. Went from 6.7 A1C to 5.6 in less than 3 weeks! Lost 35 pds which I’m at my ideal weight! Finally got my brother in law on it a week ago cause he’s got diabetes and can’t get his numbers down for knee surgery! He’s doing great! And of course my husband won’t do it! My grandson is ketovore and no more depression! He lives with us and sees what carnivore has done for me! He was a sugar addict!
Thanks Brock, good information. I used the Atkins diet years ago, might be somewhat similar to your carnivore diet, and it worked. The one question I have is to the amount of cholesterol that maybe consumed, and if this is monitored. I would think this would be more of a concern if there is a family history of heart disease.
I appreciate the concern. From my research that is kind of an outdated concern. Studies now show that the amount of cholesterol that we eat does not have any measurable effect on the amount of cholesterol in our blood. It is a Complicated topic that I’ve listened to a lot of conversation about
Listen to Dr Ken Berry. There is so much information out there that debunks }high cholesterol”. Unfortunately, statins are a multibillion dollar a year business and a lot of studies that say statins improve your health, are funded by the pharmaceutical companies
When listening to different Drs, researchers and such, dig into who is funding their research. That speaks volumes on where they form their opinions... That's how the food pyramid that we followed for so many years came to be~
Recently celebrated my 1 year carniversary. Lost 100 pounds, back pain, bone on bone knee pain, the burning pain of sciatica, and high blood pressure. I feel 10 years younger!
Not annoyed at all Brock. People need to hear this. And for the people not listening in the back? Well thats your decision. Meat and vegetables are good for you. I still eat carbs like potatoes, and rice, but less and less things like pasta. My goal is 2 parts meat, 2 parts fresh vegetable/fruit, 1 part carbs. Processed crap? It WILL kill you.
Good job, man! A year ago I breached 220 lbs threshold (5'10"). I was getting ringing in my ears and ankles were getting swollen all the time. I was getting tired just thinking about doing any of my projects, which were stacking up. I was falling asleep in the middle of the day, while trying to get work done, because I was so low on energy. My wake-up call was when I took my family to Disney Land and could barely keep up with them (my thighs were chafed badly, I was out of breath, my back was killing me and I was just not a happy camper at all). I'm now 155 lbs and full of energy -- we went to Disney World last month and it was a piece of cake for me. I didn't increase my workout routine or anything like that (I just don't enjoy working out, to be honest), but I did drop alcohol, ice cream and non-stop snacking (I still enjoy those things once in a while, but mostly when we go out somewhere). Food and drinks can be very enjoyable, but I'm feeling so much better every day by just cutting those things down to a reasonable level (it's not easy, since I still like them a lot, but it's worth it). I don't think there's a silver bullet that can solve this issue for everyone, so just have to work hard and find what works for you... and stick to it. Sticking to a new process and developing a habit is so tough, but once you get over that initial wall, it's smooth sailing.
@@_B_K_ I'm the same as you were a year ago. I'm 55 years old and 5'9" and 218 and I'm so unhappy. My blood pressure is high and legs chafing. No energy. I used to excercise 4 - 5 days a week and even stopped that. Very frustrating. I've tried the intermittent fasting and that was ok. May I ask how you started carnivore specifically how did or do you eat each day? Do you eat one meal a day or at specific times each day? Do you literally only eat meat and no salad or veggies? I enjoy those as well as meat . I really want to do this so would really appreciate how to start this up? I'm actually a professional chef with a catering business of over 30 years so I'm a good cook. Just never thought I'd be asking for a perfect stranger's help with how to lose weight. Any help with how to get going on this asap would be greatly appreciated! I really want to lose weight and feel good again with my blood pressure where it should be. Thank you very much in advance for any help or advice!
What brand of coffee did you find that met your diet requirements? I’ve been drinking the Kirkland Pods for a few years. The coffee is organic but I’m sure the pod can’t be good for me.
I would like to see if you are sticking to this 2 or 3 or 5 years from now. I have done this way of eating, and it just isn’t sustainable for me in the long term. Mainly because variety is what makes life (and food) enjoyable.
It’s awesome. You’re good on just meat. I’ll admit I really miss the bread and I’ve always loved vegetables and I still struggle with it, but I’ve learned to do without. But getting rid of the carbs is the best that you can do because carbs just make you hungry and trigger your hormones and when your hormones are screwed up, that’s why you’re always hungry and your body is just screaming for food all the time. The addiction part is very real. I’ve taken drugs. I used to drink a lot smoking with a hardest for me, but I was able to quit all those pretty easy. Food was a killer but carnivore you can eat something satisfying so you don’t feel completely deprived and your regulating your hormones, your body starts to tell the truth and speak. Most of your hunger is either mental or hormonal and the hormones are meant to tell your body you need to eat, but when you go carnivore, you’re giving your body all the nutrients and you’re not triggering all those hormones and your body learns to communicate with itself again and all of a sudden most of those physical cravings are just gone. I could just not eat for three days and I’d be OK. It’s fast and couldn’t do more than four hours.😂😂
For Me, by eliminating all the other foods, I eliminated cravings If I had a little bit of those other foods then I wouldn’t be able to control my cravings
My cousin got too 299lbs an had to make same decisions your making. No one is supposed to know this, so just keep it between you an me! Living in Florida, he paid $2000 to see nutritionist to the Miami bikini beach crowd! Nutritionist had him buy countertop food scale. In morning eat 1 lb stir fry vegetables. Dinner 1lb white fish (like lin cod). In evening 1 lb apple with lemon juice. Cut back as he lost weight. He never felt so full, lost so much weight, spent so little time in store .
