July Carnivore Challenge 

would love to join your group but when I try and create an account and click on 'agree to terms' the button doesn't do anything. Love your videos. I've been doing carnivore for 2 weeks ...metabolic syndrome since childnhood, hashimotos elevated ferritin levels so naturopath suggests I stay off meat but concentrate on fish eggs chicken etc. I'm 68 and need to lose 80 pounds, but I'm focusing primarily on getting better. 3 years of keto nothing budged. Wish I knew about this years ago.

Interested in joining locals as well. How much does it cost? Excited to join for the July challenge which will be challenging with some fun events upcoming so hoping the group support will get me through.

Look up “Laura spath loaded chicken salad”! I’m quite positive it shows up that way, I’ve done it!

It’s also on a “shorts” video

I found the recipe on pinterest under Laura Spath chicken salad

I have read that your body can't use more than 30 grams of protein in one meal.

@@marywiggins7411 this would be a good question for Dr Berry, Chaffee …. I have heard this was debunked, but I don’t have any reference. In her weight loss period, Laura’s videos show she was only eating OMAD and her meals were over 30g. Her husband still only eats OMAD. I would question this along 30g max as other SAD recommendations. God bless

Hi Deb, Thank you for the clarification. I'm 66yo, 5'6" and weigh 160+ give or take a few ounces. My goal would ideally be 130lbs. So, I would have to consume 130g (1 pound?) protein per day? Don't know if I can eat that much but I do appreciate the words of advice. ❤🙏

@@CydPiper Anytime. I like cheats. Also, please don’t be afraid to enjoy canned fish or protein powders. No, I’m not saying keto chow. I also struggle a bit with getting enough protein, but I enjoy PE Science for the whey casein blend. I also use whey protein. We have much less choice in Canada. I add them to yogurt as either a smoothie bowl or as shake when I add more water. In time, I will get there with just whole food, but this gets me over the hump.

It really has been so good for us, we have LOVED it.

I did the same thing this week !! Had lettuce and boy did I regret it the next day and half ! Yep ! Laura was right 😂

Omg I didn’t know! Game changer

If you got the sample pack, try the Chocolate Salt! Mix it in a little water first (didn’t need to do it for the others), then add ice and water. So good, especially if you miss chocolate! Good luck!

Whew! Stay hydrated!

I have cut down on bacon after I learned that it would have a detrimental impact on omega 3 to omega 6 desired ratio. I am lucky to have access to a local supplier of organic sugar free bacon. For a while I had to make my own.

RIGHT!? The last 3 months have FLOWN by!! (and thank you)

Hi. Don’t worry, that’s completely normal. The body hates big change and loves being in balance, so most people have weight loss plateaus because the body pumps out cortisol to stop weight loss for a bit while it adjusts - this can last between two weeks to two months, but it doesn’t mean that your health isn’t still improving. Even if your weight stays the same for a while, your blood sugars should be falling, your kidney and liver function should be improving, etc. Keep with it and good luck!

@@jimw6659 thank you. I appreciate this. As I really don’t want to do all sardines or all eggs etc. I think due the the stall I have cut down my calories to like 950 and protein to about 70g to lose more weight and now thinking ok I will eat just sardines for 2 days, then eggs for 2 days and then water for2 days. After listening here I’m like oh wait my metabolism could be dropping,and I don’t want arsenic and I don’t want to feel yuck for 6 days. I love steaks and lamb so much !!

​@@lisalyons5381 950 calories?! That's way too low!

@@crowley_crazy8832 yea like 2 meals a day. 1 meal - 2 eggs some butter and side of meat. 2nd meal chicken or 4oz of beef with some butter. Maybe its 1050.

@@crowley_crazy8832 It's not for me. I have been on oral corticosteroids for over 20. My endocrinologist is aware of this and states it's "normal" for me. For me to loose any weight, my calories have to be between 600-800 calories.

I just travelled with LMNT and had them in my hand luggage. They are not medicine so treat it as anything else. Have a great trip ✈️

You should be okay. I had them in my purse and backpack while flying in Germany & Amsterdam this past week.

I would suggest Equip Protein, it's a beef isolate powder and they have flavored and unflavored ones depending on how clean you need it. Code: LAURAESPATH for 15% off www.equipfoods.com/?rfsn=7678223.758504

I wouldn't recommend it, but there are meat based protein shakes out there if you must.

@@LauraSpath thank you 😊

I've made a protein shake a part of my OMAD for a few weeks now. The problem with protein shakes is, the protein powder is milled so fine that it will produce an insulin response not too far off of carbs; remember, the body can make blood sugar out of protein. So if you consume protein powder on its own, it will do the wrong things to your metabolism. My one meal has ~150g protein and ~150g fat. I tested Lillie Kane's statement that getting enough protein will largely shut down your desire to snack and found it to be true. Also, if you eat high glycemic index foods along with low glycemic index foods, the low GI tends to blunt and slow down the glycemic response, keeping blood sugar and insulin in check. So after my meal, I have a protein shake that gives me 25g more protein. Since my ideal body weight is about 160, I'm a comfortable 15g over what I should be getting every day. My total calorie count is right at 2200. Doing this, plus consuming all of my calories as early as possible, and certainly before noon - 1p, has enabled me to overcome the 'stall' that's clobbered me a half-dozen times trying this low/no carb method. (And I mean month-long stall and then maybe drop 5 more lbs; I've started out with 170 to lose.) I'm now consistently dropping somewhere between 0.75 - 1.5 lbs a day. My scale measures body fat, muscle, water etc. so I know I'm losing pretty much pure fat doing this. Hope this helps. Part of a carnivore diet is pushing through the "food fatigue" you get from eating nothing but meat. Check out Dr. Ken Berry for advice on that subject. I've realized that if you truly want the fat to come off, you're going to have to put up with a period of discomfort, and making yourself do things you might rather not do sometimes.

@@a2ndopynyn Thank you for the information. I'm type 1 diabetic and need all the help I can get. I do watch Dr Berry but very random. I will definitely do more searches on his channel.

No one cares.

Sorry!! I literally was only in the hotel and the convention center, it was crazy!

As Dr. Berry says, maybe just try BBBE (beef, butter, bacon and eggs). Sorry that sardines are causing you problems, but at least you’ve identified that and can cut that out now - 1 fewer food that can cause you problems! Good luck!

I’ve never eaten sardines, do they still have the eyes and insides? I’m squeemish! Does it still have bones? How’s the taste?

@@janetmagness9450 Depends on who the packager is but most don't retain the heads. Bones are never an issue, they basically disintegrate. You can buy them in water or oil, plain or smoked, so it depends on what you like. Buy a couple variations and see. I usually just get the ones Costco carries. Breaks down to $2 a can.

Haha we had a house sitter, someone had to feed the snake!

@@LauraSpath - Cool! What kind of snake? I used to have boa constrictors; the biggest was about 8 foot long. His name was _Snuggles._

We have a corn snake named Lizzie! She's 4 now!

Haven't had a carb in over a month. Feel so much better

She said she ate cheese,dairy is carnivore not eating is is strict carnivore or there is the lion diet

No carbs for 10 months. Are you serious? Carbs are not my friend.

Nah, you can tell by the shape of her face that she doesn't eat carbs.

Do you know every carnivore on the planet? I do zero carbs

haha just a terrible set up here, only using the laptop camera and none of my regular lighting like I have back home. I will be back to my regular set-up next time.

RUDE, was that really necessary?!? She looks so beautiful

Omg did I just read the most inappropriate comment?! The sun has kissed her skin. Laura always looks amazing 🙌

Safe travels back home! Get prepared, it’s 112 here 😮 lol

This comment is bizarre. Not needed.
