Meet My Mom: Keto to Carnivore at 62 

@ brittany.tv 🎉💯🎉

My doctor is awesome. She recommended I try Keto to control diabetes. I'm so proud to say that as of 5/5/21 I am no longer diabetic. My A1C went from 8.5 to 5.3. I take NO insulin or Metformin now. My blood pressure meds are now half what they were. Keto has worked miracles but the inflammation is still a problem so I am trying to figure out which veggies set it off. I am doing intermittent fasting, and one meal day some days and am incorporating carnivore slowly. I was born and raised on vegetables so it's a mental thing for me.

Dr Ken berry on RU-vid is really good!

I love the internet, yes it leaves us susceptible to being spied on by our governments all the time but it also allows for nothing to be hidden

Or sugar water

6 months into carnivore, and I'm down 55 lbs. Stay with it!

Rebecca Morgan was this with carnivore diet?

@@altahanekom350 oh no no, im a meat eater but i couldnt do carnivore for more than a few days. Kudos to anyone who can. I did keto, I was a bad diabetic so the sugars and starches are what I cut out.

Congratulations!!

I was wondering how you cut your meds was your dr involved or was it just a guessing game until you knew you werestable

Sounds like you got lucky having a dr that understand

Cheese not carnivore but congrats

Agree. I’m 44-46 kg since my adult life (46 year old now) but I wanted to try IF after hearing all the benefits. I have tried about 2 months now and 3 weeks into IF, my fungus infected toe nail healed naturally (which was there about a year already). Amazing!

And it's in the Bible too and Jesus fasted for 40 days. I did it too... It's not that difficult but it's not easy on one's social life

@@rikicakecreations1615 That's what I've been thinking. Fasting is Biblical and so for a reason. I am trying this for the first time in my life and regret now that I haven't before. And never knew what I do now before my mom became ill😥

She IS a natural, I agree.

Congratulations on quitting smoking. The weight loss too but that's a milestone.

Tremendous work! I gained so much weight when I quit smoking. You are truly dedicated to your health. Congratulations.

I totally agree

She has had cosmetic surgery...it is so obvious .

@@foulapaix1915 how is it obvious??? Jealousy will get you nowhere.

Not impossible at all!!! You can do it!!

am 73 and 5 months in.. better late than never... insulin down, blood pressure down, sugar cravings gone, walking an hour a day; sleeping well.. all the best to those taking the leap!

I'm 67 and I've lost 35 pounds in 6 months doing Keto and intermittent fasting and it's the only time that it has stayed off with any lifestyle change . I've lost an other 5 in the next year,not really trying and cheating a lot.

Greetings Ms. Baker, There are so many RU-vid videos about keto out there. Dr. Berg, Thomas De Lauer, Dr. Nick and more will really educate you and I’m sure you will be motivated to give it an earnest attempt one you feel positive that you have a good understanding of it. You can also type in to the RU-vid search for things like easy keto meals and keto desserts… There is a wealth of information on RU-vid. God bless!

Dr. Ken Berry is great also!

😄😄 she gets that a lot

IKR? You guys are too cute!

@@LauraSpath thank you

She does look like her

Effie Loves America I was wondering who she reminds me of.

68, and keto strong!

66 and Keto too!

66 been on keto almost 2 yrs... still In pain now starting carnivore!! Thanks for all the encouragement!! You both look great !!

63 and never felt better. Started keto in 2015 and carnivore in 2017.

Same here! Just wish I'd known this woe 20 yrs ago!! Age 63 .....never going back to the SAD diet!!

Yes Unbelievable! I realize it even more having kids.

Life celebrations are meant to be reasonable and limited. Same with the cake, ice cream, pizza, and alcohol. The problem is that we live in the land of excess. A single piece of cake once every 3-4 months isn't going to make you obese. A couple of drinks once every 3-4 months isn't going to make you a raging alcoholic. Going out of a SLICE of pizza or a SCOOP of ice cream once every 3-4 months isn't going to lead to diabetes and obesity. Now, Laura's mom has a bit of an excuse with the thyroid problems, but still. If you eat healthy 360 days a year and have some reasonable fun 5 days a year, you'll be okay. I'm saying this not as a thin and fit person who has never known what it's like to be fat. I was 5'10" and 305 pounds because I was eating and drinking garbage nearly every day. I used to be a US Marine and trained 4-5 days per week in martial arts for 14 years. So I also know what it was like to be fit and muscular. So I know the dangers of what I speak. I'm now down to 250 with about 25 pounds to go to reach my ideal (not BMI because my legs are still like tree trunks from the martial arts I studied and I'm broad-shouldered. At my BMI weight, I would look like I have advanced AIDS or like I just got out of a Nazi concentration camp)

That's probably a result of coming from families that had almost nothing. We are so blessed today we exist in a constant state of feasting. So we reach for the "treats" because we're so damned blessed. But we're also seeing the society wide side effects of this in the form of disease. Turns out hard times were probably better for your health... lol

@@LauraSpath I think the real posion is too much sugar and wheat-based products; the scorge of the world. Where ever the terrible American toxic diet goes, DMT2 and CAD are sure to follow.

narfola No, not sad, just habits we haven’t broken yet.

Wow Congratulations!!

Well, for 2.5 million years we slowly EVOLVED into HUMANS because of our meat, fat, offal and fish diets. The Inuit lived for thousands of years on this continent eating walrus, seal, whale blubber and fish. Not much Kale in the arctic north. Old human fossils show zero dental caries, unlike the wheat-eating Egyptian mummies beginning only 25,000 years ago...who ate mostly carbs and whose teeth were painfully rotted out (inflammation). They also had big atherosclerotic plaques and short lives.

Wow, can't imagine a vegan eating meat. I eat everything but organ meat but I can't imagine that I can only eat meat 😞. I love watching you all. I am 60, female and do 2MAD,but I eat ANYTHING I like and I weigh what I weighed when I was 18.

Did you eat only once a day?

So how did you cope when people asked about your transition back to meat? I have been vegetarian for 30 years and in the last few months started eating meat. Not sure how to discuss it -not that it’s really anyone’s business but just curious people handle it.

I’d the vegan diet for 6 months. Never ever again. I don’t recommend it at all!!!!!worst diet ever!

Very Encouraging 😊😀🏞

That is fantastic!! Awesome daughters are the best! 😜🥰🥰

That’s awesome!

Brenda Douglas 63 and on Keto

Yes! I’m already 37 # down @ 70! Bless the keto way of eating. Want to try intermittent fasting and only eating carnivore. When I look back it seems that is when I lost the most so far!

Penny Brown Congrats.

Brenda Douglas so you don’t veggies either? Just meat

At 62 after countless rounds of diets and vegetarianism went all in with Keto. Still Hard to eat meat when I’m thinking of animals suffering. :-/. but First thing that changed is my energy level and brain power...Aiming for one 1-2 meals per day.

Wow,how are you today. Please update.

Yes!! We are both the same way!! Meat heals!!

For you, what is the difference between keto and carnivore? Do you mean when you do keto, do you mean that you still include vegetables? I'm curious because I've been struggling to do strict carnivore and keep adding the carbs back in because of it. It's frustrating so I just want to learn from others' experiences.

Tamara_Loe Yes!! I’m noticing that too and didn’t realize why! I’m peeing so much and didn’t connect the dots. Thank you 😊

me too --all carnivore , no pain in knees at all

@@wordivore sounds like Laura and her Mother have reduced their dietary needs to a high percentage of carnivore/animal foods only... removing all vegetables.

Hi there, I have been told by my Dr to go vegan. I have IGA nephropathy ,Arthritis , autoimmune disease ,metabolic syndrome , and thyroid issues. What are thoughts on my situation as far as keto or carnivore goes.

@@charie212 look at Dr Peter Glidden and his advice on quiting wheat barley oats and the first that will definitely help the RA a get you started on understanding how the many things in plants can be detrimental. There is a lot to understand Dr Glidden can help you understand the technical side then as your understanding increases the keto diet makes more sense but it has limitations due to the plants that are still promoted to eat.when you go full carnivore and do one meal a day as well as intermittent fasting you can get a better idea of what you definitely should not eat and what you can get away with. Listen to your body and the the Holy Spirit and the answers to bring healing will come but it takes time and effort and experimentation which can lead to some failures but you will keep learning. Don't be too surprised when you find out most of what you were taught about food no longer works. My personal feeling is yes much of the old science was just wrong but there has been some undefined environmental changes that are also involved. Fungal biofilms are my best guess as something that is causing much of the food intolerance. It's all extremely complicated but you must go one step at a time. Good luck and God bless you.

What a stupid comment, like it would be normal at any age not to take care of self.

Teresa Lehtonen kick rocks with no shoes dummy. I see a lot of older women not taking care of themselves because they spend their time taking care of their family kids and grandchildren and neglect themselves. If your keyboard killer self can’t say anything nice then stfu.

Right on! I have aunts that just think they are ok because they’ve cooked and eatin the same way all their lives... because they are “ok”. Never mind the diabetes and high blood pressure and other ailments. We ARE talking about an older woman here.

It was how you said that came across as “stupid”. It comes across like you know ALL older women don’t take care of themselves.

@@JMc_1 far from stupid, people just tend t to assume the worst and takin everything personal. Tough Tonys online but not so much in person. The ignorance of today’s society is hiding behind a computer.

Same ☹, my dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol and high blood pressure and 2 months ago my sister and I were diagnosed the same so we started keto I lost 19 lbs and my sister 12lbs... but my dad won't have it we tell him to keep away from carbs and we get frustrated that he won't listen💔💔💔

@@africagonzalez58 I feel your pain. Role reversal is a way for our parents to avenge us for not listening to them when they were raising us. 🤷‍♀️😊

@@jeaninezanocco1385 true but even though I'm old I need him I need my parent's to be healthy .... so I guess I need to go for the chancla 🥿 if he is reversing it 😂.

@@jeaninezanocco1385 I saw a cute car sticker once - - "avenge yourself! Live long enough to be an embarrassment to your children". It has a certain ring to it. (and if people don't wanna be told, stop telling them, as Ken Berry says. Let your success do the talking.)

😂😂😂 Congratulations!!! And dont scare your mom with Carnivore at this point. Haha

Congrats on the weightloss👏👏

Pat Sisk: that is amazing!!!

Patty Sisk Congratulations Patty, it doesn’t matter how much you lost or how long it took you, the most important thing is your losing weight and obtaining health for the rest of your life. 👌🏻 Don’t let on to your mother about you doing Carnivore, she won’t understand that you are eating normal. Your mum has been indoctrinated for years and just won’t realise how hog washed she has been by the System. At 84 she doesn’t really need to know anyway, you will be the proof for her.

@@MsDestinedtoReign So true!

Hello Dale, My Dr. just told me Insulin will for sure put weight on you,defeating everything you do, so getting off meds really helps, all the above I'm doing, walking ,gym,intermittant fasting daily, no dairy,sugar etc. & still can't lose the weight, only 10-15 lbs, but in the belly am insulent resistant,glucose goes up even when I don't eat,called pre-dawn phenomimen. They told me I was type 2for 4 years,took Metformim, now they tell me type 1,why so confusing? Must be a test to know for sure. Where are these good Dr.s who work with you to get you off the meds. God it's been taking over my life.

Congratulations Kristina. So happy for you.

I am 5'6...185 lbs... Low thyroid... Type 2 diabetic... Fatty liver... I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!

So happy for you. Stay motivated...you’ll be rewarded with a body that you’re proud of, inside and out!

Way to go! I'm almost a year on "dirty" keto and am so excited about all the health benefits, that I am holding a Keto class, just sharing random videos and trying to spread the news. I am so excited for you!

@@billiejohoward7443 Have you started this keto/carnivore diet yet? Im interested to know if youve made any changes yet and recieved any help?

Start saving up for hospital bills -- heart disease, bowel cancer and strokes are VERY expensive. And schedule that colonoscopy now to check for cancer polyps in your rectum. Good luck!

Lights R All On I use to think that too. You need to listen to science or a knowledgeable doctor. It made sense to me. It’s so opposite of what we have been told. I kid you not. It went against everything I knew , or thought I knew.

Lights R All On That’s the typical comment from either a doctor, a shill for the FDA or someone who has done zero research. To those in the know, they know that you know incorrectly!

@@user-ve7qh1wm6v They probably are all for the “expiramental” vaccine too!

Wow very proud of you! Keep it up!

Kena M your 5 stop talking

@@camronRD Don't be so damn rude.....she made an excellent point🤨

I know Kena,I noticed her skin as well....she looks radiant and healthy for 62.😊

@@rosehiver6262 her body skin is called freckles also known medically as Ephelides.

You are calling yourself old at 51 years old? Now that you are into healthy stuff, you will be over 100. So you are still a baby

I love Nina as well!!

🥰🥰🥰 thanks!!

I also have hypothyroidism. On NP thyroid and T3. I read Stopthethyroidmadness.com great help. It's 17 tears and counting of patients wisdom and what works and what doesn't. Hope this is helpful. I've been low carb then therapeutic keto, now carnivore with no dairy. Great game changer
