Introduction: My 120+ Pound Weight Loss on the Carnivore Diet! 

@blessed77792, I have. 😊

Just watching for the first time now.

💛💛💛💛

Meeeeee toooooooo!!!!

I can resist anything but temptation.

Agreed! I think this is a large part of the appeal of the carnivore diet for me.

Hi. Its exactly my keto anniversary today. A year ago I needed to lose weight and Im down 80lbs today. 15 more to go so now doing carnivore for a month

@@karliann1 congratulations! 🙂🥳

@@AnnabellaRedwood Thank you!💓

@@karliann1 congratulations 🎊

Me too

Same to me at age 69. I was on track PRE PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN to reach my ideal weight via a Keto-ish WOE. But when the Lockdowns happened, stress and anxiety increased and in December of 2020 I went through a divorce and move. Thus, gained 50 pounds. I have been 100% carnivore since 2/15/22 and already have noticed blue jeans are fitting better and my mental fog has lifted. Good luck. Yes, I was a sugar holic and could eat a dozen bakery glazed chocolate covered donuts in one sitting. Good luck.

I really want to try this. I see you started a month ago. Van you update me on your progress please? I struggle with a major sweet tooth, Like you I can't just eat 1 piece of cake I end up eating the whole cake. I feel so miserable right now. Not happy in my own skin right now.

@@chrisfranks5243 I just started 2 days ago. Joint swelling has gone down, and my planter fascitis is only hurting about half as bad as normal. I also have lost 2 lbs. I am eating some full fat dairy, but mostly beef and bacon. I am feeling hopeful!

How’s everyone doing now?

@@GBB70 Hi Mr. GBB70, I hope you see this, and reply. I love Laura's frankness, and yours too. I am 62, and have been doing Keto for 5 years intermittent fasting about the same. I have now found out my symptoms could be due to high of Oxalates, and need to start out a long journey of reducing veggies and slowly head my way towards Carnivore diet. Long journey because dumping Oxalates to fast can be dangerous to the body. I am like you, and can over indulge because I want that full feeling. I'm pretty good about staying away from the big no no's, and maintained my goal weight for all these years, but was wondering how do you feel being a long term carnivore eater after being old as dirt like me? I'm looking forward to your reply. From one old fart to another, Rena.

I can dig it

Profound

Deep and well said.

So true.

Yes! This!!

No...triplets....I'm the same

John Noh aren’t we all?😂

I am the same, moderation is not my friend.

@@DeborahAdamsCreativeLife I think it's easier to abstain

All or nothing, that's me.

I would love to hear more about the meat or how much meat you were eating.

@@johnsnow5264 first off, not an IQ test in way? Second, you're both talking about very different times in our ancestry. So you're both right in your assumptions and both wrong at the same time.

@@johnsnow5264 I mostly agree with that, balance is the key imo. Your response to the original poster was more condescending than anything else though, hence my response.

Awesome 👏🏻

@@justadude598 I don't think even doctors knew what the ancestors did or ate. I just look at what's been ascertained in OUR time. Most all doctors bring evolution into the fray and just there it's a case of NO! Have read too many books from imho legit scientists who disputes beautifully ol' Mr Darwin. I never knew maths cld be manipulated but apparently it can.

Moderation

Ribeyes or 80/20 groundbeef, redmans healthy sea salt, water, and repeat. I hope youre still fighting for your life

Keep going! Keep moving! 🥰

You can do it!

Way to go. Woo! 🥰🙂

Well done i can imagine how hard it has been for you loosing so much weight you should be so proud of yourself 💕💕

That's amazing! Never give up ☺️

Lizzie Timewarp YES!! This is still something I am learning!

💖👍

I need to try this ... my struggle is the weekends 😫 and that I am the only one doing keto in my house 😏

I’m learning this too

Oh! Okay!

I totally understand where your coming from. I just turned 51 and going through menopause. I have been a little heavy before and list about 40 lbs but then had a knee injury, which had caused me not able to workout. Since than I have gained weight and have a love hate with food. I am trying to get back on the eating healthy habit but really struggling. Es6when my grandkids are around. I've thought of starting keto but I've heard its not something that you should permanently do for ever. So been looking into intermittent fasting.

being overweight isn't always a symptom of poor health.... because Hashimotos. and various other auto immunity issues that can cause stalls.

You hit the nail on the head! I started looking at food with all of its ingredients and saying "I'm not putting this crap and poisons in my body"

Weight should never be the endgame. That's just calories and controlling them. Sacrificing the micro-nutrients only serves to cause harm.

@@kristenjohnson2044 Surely Hashimoto's is a sign of poor health? I was misdiagnosed with it myself at one time, but have worked with people who have it, felt pretty unhealthy and subsequently received treatment. Most autoimmune disease is a function of a stressor, genetic issue or dietary incompatibility.

mrscms831 inspiring. Congrats on 100 pounds, outstanding. I just started fasting and it’s painful week one, but pretty easy. Keep us posted.

And they dont taste like the real things! The subs are poor subs. Rather just have fruit at some point!

Same, here.

Good gal, body will make all teh carbs/sugar/sweet it needs by itself from proteins. Don't listen to those craving signals, eat straight, what your body needs only -- proteins & fat

How’s your journey going so far hun? I hope it’s working for you.

How are you doing with it? Curious

Same 👍

go to the gym and do elliptical for 30 mins....you haven't lost FAT yet you lost water weight....FAT burns very slooooowly without exercise

ImWatchingYew thanks. I’m currently coinciding a treatment plan for a better workout. I’m recovering from an injury. I realize it’s water weight. This isn’t my first rodeo. But good looking out! 👍

@@SiddikaKobir Lafitness hitting that ellyptical... went from 215 to 160 in about a years time with change to diet (not carnivore), and hitting the gym.

Good for you. But why insult a vegan? Someone makes an ethical responsible choice, you can support them. Or just get away from talking to them. Carnivore diet is just not going to be sustainable for this planet. That's just a reality. If everyone does it, our planet is screwed

Robin Sorley me too it’s crazy but feels good to know someone else understands rt

Mine too. So many similarities. 2 children. Husband dx’d w/ Type 2 diabetes (after about 16 yrs of marriage though). Inability to have just 1slice of pizza. Over 100 lbs overweight. I am so done with living like this. So ready to learn more about this. I feel your pain when you say you have an inability to have a normal relationship with food.

How's it going? Just started carnivore myself

How about an update? I hope you got it on the first try, but know most of us take many tries, and even then it's still a struggle. You can fall off the bike...what counts is that you eventually get back on 👍

Never going back! I tried it just to see what will happen. I'm pretty healthy slim and normal... But oh my word... It's phenomenal!

Great!! I always find 48 hours mentally and physically helpful for me!

It works meat only fasting twice a week lost 33lb . Make sure drink lots of water

Marie Bakata I will. Thank you Marie!

Pauline Newman are you eating just beef and butter or all meats? I’m thinking of trying the B&B on Monday with a group😉

Does anyone have Bowel movement issues 🙈 because of no fibre ?

Gratitude - Yes and no, but I take a fiber capsule with meals too. Make sure it’s organic.

Pauline Newman - Look up Fat Fasting too. It’s an option.

Thank you!! That is my story for sure, fasting and carnivore has been a game changer for me mentally.

I found I not only had lost weight, but I also gained muscle. I was stronger and my stomach was the flattest it had ever been in my entire life. An aside, I found that I didn't burn in the sun on carnivore like I did while on S.A.D.

this is amazing!

Wouldn't it be great if it was just us then we can only have healthy food in the house but they don't seem to care so what I decided I'm going to show them because they're all overweight what my results are for eating healthy that way maybe it will really make them think they are all bigger than me and younger than me

That sounds amazing 😋

Lynn Bigner so true. Cheers

Please consider the suffering that you are supporting when you purchase animal parts and their secretions. It is possible to reach your goals without causing the deliberate death of others.

@@ryanwelsch9384 NOPE. I was a WFPB vegan for 11 years. I exercised regularly, slept adequately, drank plenty of water, made sure to eat enough calories, tracked my macros, ate plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, took B12 and vitamin D supplements, however, my health and well-being began to drastically decline the last 3 - 4 years of veganism. No matter what potential food allergen I tried to identify and remove, or what macro ratio I ate, blood work done, etc. etc. I just began to lose my vitality. Always fighting lethargy, terrible brain fog, powerfully tired in the mornings, hair began falling out, low libido, terrible erections, always puffy and chubby and inflamed looking in the face and torso. I’ve always lifted weights too and I could NEVER gain much strength or lean muscle as a vegan. One year ago I decided to reintroduce meat into my diet and I went on a meat based diet of salmon, beef, eggs and some occasional fruit. After only a few weeks, nearly all of these ailments began to reverse, and after a couple of months they were all completely gone. I’m lean and muscular for the first time in over a decade! Same workout routine. Actually, my workouts are less intense now than before, but I’m actually ripped and muscular which I never thought would be possible for my body! My face is lean and no longer puffy. My teeth are whiter and harder. My jaw line much more pronounced. My hair stopped failing out and began thickening. No more brain fog. I wake up feeling alert and refreshed. Mood is improved. Energy is steady and adequate. Incredible erections. Strong libido. I could go on and on… Point is I feel great. Whereas on the WFPB vegan diet I felt like I was slowly falling to pieces. . I used to be like you. I used to believe that everyone could be healthy on a plant based diet. However, it’s just not the case for me, and it’s not the case for most everyone in fact. I’ve never been more sure of something in my life as I am that my body requires meat to thrive. I used to talk just like you too. Using words like “animal parts and their secretions” thinking I’d blow someone’s mind with “reality” of what “beef” really is etc.. It’s all just vegan propaganda and brainwashing. The idea of veganism is fine as a personal choice, but it crosses the line when vegans attempt to say that other people or all people should or must be vegan when doing so would interfere with and damage their health and well-being. . I don’t care about studies, I don’t care about data, all I care about is the absolutely UNDENIABLE and miraculous physical and mental health improvements I’ve experienced since reintroducing meat into my diet a year ago and cutting out all plants besides occasional sweet ripe fruit. . Additionally, I eat primarily pasture raised grass fed beef (murdered dead cow parts) with a bit of pork (murdered dead pig parts) and some slaughtered dead chickens here and there. Which means I’m responsible for maybe around 10-15 deaths per year. The foods that the average vegan eats cause hundreds of millions of deaths per year via cropping and agricultural practices, and pesticides and mono-cropping is ruining the environment. Therefore, if you want to get into a pissing contest on ethics, my diet wins. . I will not be a martyr and allow my body to be destroyed from the inside out for mindless dumb animals. Quite frankly, I just don’t care about animals, ESPECIALLY when my well-being is hinged on my consuming their body parts in copious amounts. I care about humans and their health and well-being. I care about the progression of the human population. An overwhelming majority of us (probably 90% or higher) NEED to eat meat and animal products to thrive and be our best. Just deal with it.

@keith cunningham, I know, right. It is crazy what people consider food.

Ma Rie kind, thoughtful people like you are the best. Indeed it was awful those last few years, and the improvements I feel now compared to back then is just beyond words. Congrats to you for taking back your health as well!! Cheers!!

Keto is very difficult to eat...alone

Very kind. Yes I think talking about this and encouraging others is also me talking to myself to try and stay on track. It helps to have a supportive partner who has also been on this journey as well. Thank you for your kind words and support.

Lynnette Simpson Hi Lynette! I too have Hashimotos - haven’t started carnivore (tried Keto but haven’t been able to follow) interested in Carnivore (grew up on lots of meat - Dad was a meat cutter 😁)wondering if you would share how carnivore has helped your Hashi’s - I’ve been on Synthroid daily for over 10 years and have seen NO CHANGE in my symptoms 😕 Thanks, have a great Sunday!

@@charalson3023 You are so lucky! I tried (unsuccessfully) to convince my daughter to work for our butcher. Picking out my meat for the week is my favorite thing to do. Honestly, carnivore makes living with celiac more manageable and easy; a side bonus has been an improvement in my thyroid numbers. I don't really have symptoms from Hashi's, but over the last 6 months, my doctor has progressively reduced my Synthroid from 100 mcg down to 50 mcg. And for the first time in 23 years of taking thyroid medication, I am hopeful that I may be able to get off the Synthroid completely. Carnivore may be easier for you to try if you do better with all-or-nothing and it may also take some time to see results/changes. Best wishes to you!

Lynnette Simpson Thank you for the response! Your daughter should really look in to being a meat cutter - it’s a great profession and the salaries are very good (I’m in HR and keep up with various industry salaries plus my nephew is a meat cutter in California and makes a very good living) I went on to marry a Texas cowboy/beef rancher (now divorced) and learned even more during those years, miss having my own grass fed herd 😕 I am currently on 137mcg Synthroid a day and would love to get off it completely some day! Great result for you, congratulations!

I am you... not even one bite. I have to stay away from pies, cakes, cookies and bread.

@Fiftyplusbeauty Cool to see you here! I love your channel :)

I was a vegan for five years too! And on a curves membership, gaining weight non stop, having people lying to me saying "it's muscle weigh gain" as a way of keeping me in their sick system. I found myself travelling abroad once or twice a year to break my vegan diet and gym routine, and then coming back home to realize I would feel so much better and I would lose weight. That'd when I realized I was battling all the symptoms of hypoglycemia and adrenal fatigue, and it was time to stop veganism and hit training. My mind works so much better now.

The line about mainlining cakes pies and cookies had me cracking up! LOL

Same here. We’ll just keep going cos it’s starting to pay off already 😃

I had to cut out treats as well

Yes!! Special occasions mean expensive steak now!! 😄😄 no more cake for celebrations!!

💛💛💛 that is so kind thank you!! If I can do it so can you!! I still deal with struggles and it is still part of my journey but I finally see the light now and the path to healing!! Every day is a new day.

Hope you're still going strong. The cravings for sugar will subside after a few weeks. Stay strong 👍

Same here,we can do this

How are you doing on it now?

So many of us. Maybe we are the normal ones. 💛💛

Stephanie RN me too!

Stephanie RN .....me too!

I think it's the wrong way to look at it if we understand that the proper human diet for 200k thousand years or more has been carnivore. It's literally in our genes to eat meat but companies have done well trying to sell us on sugar, cake, donuts and basically synthetic crap. I just started this journey but I feel like the blinders are off

Not only did I sniff the jar.....I ate the jar!! :(

guilty as charged 😄

Am I the only one who misread that as 'panty sniffing'?

Sheri Fuller Sorry, typo. My bad. 😏

Oh no, this hit home, Jacob! 😂

Thank you so much for your support. ❤❤

Did you actually do it? If so what was the results?

😂😂😂

Of course not

Either that or they have common sense. Read my comment ;)

Aly B Lol

They're mad because they have jaundice and brittle bones while carnivores are healthy and strong.

Thank you...and I agree!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ so many products with keto. I do see some on carnivore but thankfully there is less to "hack" and no weird flours or sweeteners.

A fundamental idea of the carnivore diet is that low processed, high quality animal foods are the healthiest things to consume. So I think it would be less likely for similar products to pop up, considering they're processed.
