This is inspiring!! I am only on the second week of Lamb version. I’m gaining weight. I lost 80 pounds with keto and fasting. I’ve worked so hard to get to 150 pounds, I don’t want to go back.
keep coming to carnivore videos.. watch them every day.. plus they do coaching as well..but I love to come and listen to people just talk about it..keeps me on track
Wow, an actual real person who isn't a "coach", a "personal trainer", pushing supplements, or plugging her own channel. How completely refreshing and rare. The fact that she's in my age group and very relatable are just bonuses!
I haven't seen any single coach push supplements. As for pushing their channel I love it the more success stories on RU-vid the better. It gets the word out for everyone and makes it a better chance people cross paths with them. Weather people decide to be a personal trainer or coach I could care less almost none of them push it on anyone but the reality is I think these people truly enjoy the feeling they get helping others. I would love to personally coach my family if they would only do it and obviously wouldn't want a dime but I think these coaches deserve money for their extra time as well. Either way coaches are leaders in this community and shouldn't be criticized in my opinion
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 Everyone is entitled to their opinions. As for me, I prefer quality over quantity. I'm a busy person and have no interest in watching an hour long advertisement for someone's product, service, or channel. I love the real stories, like this one. In fact, I'd say that Ms Hogan's channel is a perfect example of quality over quantity.
My hubby just went to Heaven 4 1/2 months ago. I am 70, 71 in November. I have wanted to go to Carnivore for years. I relate so much to you. My why is I have no one to take care of me when/if I get old/sick. I need to take care of myself!!! I am low-carb most days. Went Keto Oct. 2017 and lost 75 pounds but now only have 32 of those off. I NEEDED this. Thank you!!!
This beautiful woman just helped this 65 year old lady that’s only been on carnivore for 8 days! You are an inspiration, thank you for your inspirational message you have given me hope too ❤🎉
I started the carnivore diet mid April some weeks I'm very good and some weeks I have added some veggies; primarily when I go out or with friends. I have lost 25 lbs thus far; my purpose being I don't want this diet too restrictive because I don't want to worry about every thing that goes into my mouth; in this journey I have learned more about nutrition then ever before which has help; I have no idea what my goal is because I have been overweight since my second child was born; I have no idea what my body will look like since it is a different body since the children; I have started a new decade 70 and over all I look much younger then my age; I don't have any wrinkles. The biggest thing is feeling well; I can say I have any addictions it doesn't bother me to have cookies or sweets in the house; I only have this when the grandkids are here; I rarely have an urge to eat.
65th Birthday next week. Very sick and prediabetic I started it last February now September lost 50 plus pounds and off all meds . So healthy now. The first 4-6 weeks your body goes through changes due to ketosis but hang in there. Study everything you can find on youtube. Dr Ken Berry is an excellent choice, Take potassium supplement. You will never regret it.
where do you get it? How much do you need to take daily? I have done canivore for many months but the rib cramps were unbearable...maybe this Lugols will help@@chris1810able
OMG, Susan this is my same story. I was at the end, 120 pounds overweight, could barely walk. I asked my sister to join me and she said she could only do Keto but I jumped headlong immediately into Lion diet. initially she did this then circumstances with her sick husband, she stopped and I kept going. When carnivore clicked in my life it changed everything! This is MY STORY,I promise you and thank you for sharing. Now 328 days in I'm walking without pain and down 80 pounds just so HEALTHY NOW . My YT feed started putting all these people in my path and I had never heard of them either. God put this in my life because I, too asked my spirit guides for help. ❤❤
I started with my sister, she lasted 3 days 😢. I’m 72 days in. My weight loss is low but I’m feeling better physically. Promised myself I would do at least 90.
Did you include intermittent fasting and/or longer fasts? How many pounds of meat at a meal? I am not seeing the results I had hoped for and I don't know if I am over or under eating. Any tips for a 67 yo gal? Thanks
I've been pushing this forever that all keto does is make this a hundred times harder because you never let go of the carbs. I don't understand what people don't get this. Even if she succeeded six months from now her cravings would be still there while yours are long gone
@@dianejones4276I think you have to eliminate all dairy so have you done that? The entire key to success with carnivore is learning how to eat perfectly. If you're doing keto you're not learning perfectly. I'm not saying you can't go back to keto but the further you go without cheese and keto rules of 20 carbs a day the better chance you have a long-term success and the wait will fall off guaranteed. I'd also try to add in a little bit of walking as I notice my scale moves when I walk and if I don't it won't. Also if it's possible eat in a 6-hour window only if you're trying to lose weight because keeps your blood sugar levels low
I had to go to the doctor this week for a rash (poison ivy) that wouldn't clear up. This doctor in the practice hadn't seen me since 2018 (he's not my regular PC) he walked in and the first thing he said was, "How did you lose 33 pounds!". I have actually lost a net of 55 pounds since he's seen me, but I was able to say BBBE and no grains. He was floored and told me I looked really good! I have just turned 61 and I have more energy than I had at 41! I am in a bit of a stall I have about 20-25 pounds more to go to get to my doctor's goal weight. But my biggest triumph has been no more T2D, HBP, acid reflex. I still have some arthritis and I still have some neuropathy but that's getting better too. I can run again and when I'm with my grandkids we run up hills! So much fun, they love it that Grandma can run with them!
Congrats on your weight loss. I was stalled too. I started intermittent fasting. One meal a day is working great. Weight is coming off slow and steady. 90 days in and lost 45 lbs.
That is a great testimony! It has been six months, are you still on track? I have been playing around the edges of Keto and Carnivore for a while, but just three days in, today is day four. I’m 62, I only need to lose 15-20 lbs, but I have joint pain and some deformity in my hands that I would sure like to stop in its tracks! My poor papa’s hands were so gnarled in his last 15-20 years. If I can avoid that it would be a greater gift than weight loss.
I have MS and also wanted to die...plus 40p overweight. 4weeks now on carnivore....feel much beter and believe in my heart, God led me to carnivore on youtube
This is probably my fifth time watching this video, Kelly. I cried, yet again, when Susan said that she cried out to God for help and she heard Him say, "I've got a plan for that". After coming to Christ late last year, I remember crying out to God for help with my weight issues, and I heard the exact same thing from the Holy Spirit - "I have a plan for that". Today, I prayed yet again in my car to God, as I was about to go in for a check up at the Doctor's. I asked if it is God's will that He please show me the way to finally reverse my weight and health issues ... It began with the Doctor and her plan for me to help me on my path, and then ended this evening with this video and a couple of your other videos with your Group Members popping up once again! In every one of those videos I watched, they spoke about the Lord. 🙏🏻🕊️❤️ Thank you Kelly. Thank you Susan B.
As a person who has been fat and then morbidly obese for the majority of my life, this testimony is rejuvenating. I have been through her cycles of diets, binges, etc. At 58 I am tired of it all. I hope this will be my answer to losing half my body weight. My 90 days begins Sept 1.
Denise, it's shocking how many of us are you! I'm 63, morbidly obese, carnivore since Aug 1. I've only lost roughly 12 lbs. But that's amazing that I've not quit! The no cravings, REAL. More energy ,REAL. Enjoying not pigging out, REAL. HBP is still med, but that will go away in time, I'm certain. Stay the course. 😊"It won't happen overnight, but it will happen."
So beautiful to see. Ive been carnivore just over 3 months now after keto for 3 ½ yrs. I AM 100 LBS DOWN from 250. It WAS a natural progression for me also. When I finally went full carnivore out of the blue my husband joined me. 😲 I recently heard him literally having a full blown argument with his mother and I overheard statements like.."Im not an embicile mother!" And "I've watched my wife doing this for years now and I'm telling you they've been lieing to us mom!" I never knew that all this time he really, really had been listening to me. Every single revelation I had through my journey in my excitement I would of course share with him but you know how it is.. others don't share in the enthusiasm of such things. Hes not overweight or anything but his arthritis has gotten so bad. We're both mid 50's now. Anywho. Beautiful story. Be blessed.🥩
Give this woman a microphone and stage! She could be the poster child for Carnivore! Great information, great attitude and I love the appetite. NO ONE should shame you about what you know you need! Great interview!
I totally understand your plight! I'm 68 and I've lost 75 pounds! I was mostly housebound for 8 years due to respiratory issues and allergies. I felt completely hopeless about my weight! I could feel it increasing every single day. I stayed away from sugar and ate only low glycemic foods but it didn't matter, so I really thought there was no hope for me - especially at my age. Then, through a Christian youtube channel that I followed, she one day said that she would not normally post something like this because this was Jesus' channel not hers. However, she felt led by Him to share the story of hers and her husband's weight loss on Keto and she gave the youtube channel of Dr Ken D Berry and also the free carbmanager app to track your carbs! That was all I needed! I'm not totally carnivore (but mostly) and even though I've been VERY hypoglycemic since I was a teenager, I now do intermittent fasting every day and find that I actually feel the best with OMAD (one meal a day) and I NEVER get low blood sugar! To me that's a miracle all by itself! I've gone from size 16 pants to size 8 or smalls. I'm so thankful to God for nudging this sister in Christ to share her Keto Story! Kelly you are so awesome and I LOVE your channel and the fact that you are also a Christian! Keep on keeping on, girl! God bless you and your lovely guest!
I am a 73 yr old woman and I weigh 170 lbs. I am Asian so most people say I look 10 -15 yrs younger. I have just had a double hip surgery but am fine now and can walk for 30 minutes on level 4 without much of a problem . I want to go carnivore so hopefully it can make me get better sleep so I won’t feel so lousy during the day . Susan and Kelly you are such inspirations to see that like us you battled with carb and sugar addictions and found a way to overcome it .Tomorrow is Sept. 1st. And, I hope I can change my way of eating to just protein and fat. I hope it will make me feel better because I do have joint pains which actually only started really badly last year . Having to think of meals for the family makes that difficult - but I pray God will help me on this journey . Susan, I can relate to your story of God literally speaking to you - because I too have had that Epiphany experience !!! That was when I first realized that God does speak to us and my faith in Him has been unshakable ever since . I pray that everyone could have this experience so that they can know firsthand that their is a loving God out there looking after us and we are not alone and He is just a prayer away. Sadly, Many young people these days do not know this reality. Pray I can stick to my 30 day challenge of being ketovore/ carnivore. I am afraid I cannot eat enough of the daily protein/ fat required to make a success of this adventure.
I too had low blood sugar problems since I was a small child. I used to get so sick from hunger. At 52 I went keto and for THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE it stopped. 3½ years in now I am full carnivore. My low blood sugar was the first thing that happened on keto. Amazing! God is good! Oh...and im 100lbs down. 85 the first 6 months!!
@@milesbautista3583 On your comment about cooking for your family...I began my keto journey privately. I didnt tell a soul. I was going to wait til after the holidays but finally realized I was tired of waiting. I researched for a month, preparing. So I started and actually went into ketosis on Thanksgiving day 2019. I knew if I couldn't do it then I wouldn't be able to anyways. I still had two teenagers at home and I was the mom! I did all the cooking. Yes, I had some hiccups but it was so OK! The difference when you fall out of actual ketosis is like the difference between getting a great night's sleep and waking up feeling fresh and ready to face the day joyously and NOT getting good sleep and dragging through the day. It will motivate you! It really does do all they say. I swear. We are all different though so stick with it. 🙏🏼 You will not regret it.
I LOVE your testimony! Praise God! I’m 65 now and after 4 years keto and good weight loss I decided to try carnivore. I began gaining weight and freaked out! Flailing around trying to figure out what to do for the past year or more and only maintaining a 20# weight gain, or slowly gaining more. I recently decided to go back to keto, after such good success previously. Bad idea. I’ve gained a bit more! So, I decided to go with high fat, moderate protein and keep the ultra low carbs that I’ve been doing. I hear too many conflicting voices on YT and it’s so confusing. Some people say don’t eat a lot of fat. You won’t lose the weight. But then I hear good reasons to eat the fat, like through this video with Kelly and her guest. So, I’m gonna go for it. I have a wedding and family reunion coming up and I have not seen these people since I was 20 some odd pounds thinner. It’s very embarrassing for me right now to have to go out of state to see these people that I love and have them see that I’ve gained so much weight back. I still need to lose about 35 to 40 pounds to get to my ideal weight. Please, pray for me! I have done tons of praying myself and seeking the Lord for his wisdom. Thank you for sharing your story! God bless you sister!❤
Love how God answers our cries. He has answered me twice in my life like this when you here His voice within. I am 66 and know Gods grace and mercy to us, thank you for this video.
I love when you said Susan, “keto defined for me what I did want, and what I didn’t want but carnivore ALLOWED me to accomplish it” I identify with that so much as I am about 100 days in- no cheats and no looking back! Love your story Susan - Praise God for leading us to this amazing way of life!
I e been eating Keto for 9 weeks and have lost 18 lbs but my friend is eating carnivore and thanks to you ladies I’m going for it. Thank you, you’ve inspired me. God bless you. ♥️
Best interview ever! I'm 71, and just 3 weeks into carnivore. I love watching interviews with older women. They keep me inspired. Susan is such a wonderful person, Christian, and motivator. As you are. Bless you. I'm praying my sister and a friend to try carnivore. My sister lost her husband in December and she too is suffering.
I'm a 74 American male who retired to the south of France. Two and half years ago I weighed 254 pounds and had a myriad of health issues. After a year and a half on Keto my weight was down to 215, and many of my health issues were better. A year ago after watching a video by Dr Anthony Chaffee I went carnivore. Today I weigh 163 pounds. My arthritis, sleep apnea, acid reflux, high blood pressure, pre-diabetic glucose levels, and auto-immune skins rashes all gone. Even my prostate issues have massively improved during the past year. On top of that, my energy levels and mental clarity have vastly improved. I feel as good today as I did when I was in my 30s.
@@BeKind419 When I started carnivore I was lion - only beef, salt, water. After a year and half I added butter, eggs, salmon, seafood, bacon, lamb, and some blueberries once in awhile. I don't use much seasoning except salt. I do cook almost everything in butter.
Thank you Kelly and Susan for the motivation that I needed today. Love how the Lord led her to carnivore to heal her body and soul. Praying for that for myself. ❤
I am 63 and started on Keto 5 years ago. I slowly went more and more Carnivore and full on in the beginning of this year. My life has changed for the positive in so many many ways.
I turned 62 a week ago and am collecting the tools to start carnivore in 4 days. This lady is SO INSPIRING! She is so beautiful both inside and out. Thank you sisters. Praise YHWH, I'm excited!
I am a KingsDaughter too but my real "handle" ends with the year I gave my heart to Jesus: 1958. Somehow YT has lost the 1958 and replaced it with gobbledegoop, but regardless, we're SISTAHS :) albeit I am an OLDER sister - turning 75 in March :O
@KingsDaughter1957 Amen l was Born Again on Valentine's Day 2019...5 years of studying Scripture like crazy. I am Soo in love with God. He saved me in my 5th decade. It's wonderful to hear people are saved most of their lives...but Praise God for even saving me at all. 📖🐑✝️🌷 God Bless you....pray for me if you will. 🙏
Thank you for a great interview. My why was, I am 83 and prediabetic. I said no way ‘ when I saw dr Berry shoe of “woman who ate meat for year” was my start . Beginning Mar 17, 23. I have lost 22lbs and stuck for two months at 184. I don’t think I am eating enough, because I am still hungry after dinner and craving sweets. I have gone back to coffee with cream . I have lowered my A1C and no more arthritis pain. I can relate to your guest snd her grief. I loss my husband and I felt my life was over. I am so grateful for the carnivores community who have faith in God. Bless all of you. Thank you so much.
I prayed for God to show me how to eat to live and not be in bondage to food. Around a year later I jumped in full force to carnivore without the withdrawals. Here I am 7 months of carnivore under my belt, inching on 60 lbs down and sleeping soundly. I do have times of wanting carbs, mostly bread, but realistically I know if I eat it I will feel horrible. It does feel great to play with my grandchildren, to run after them and not be huffing and puffing!! Great interview Kelly!! See you Monday!
You are telling my story. I am really struggling right now. My husband passed a little over a year ago. He was completely paralyzed for 13 years from advanced multiple sclerosis. I was his sole care giver. It was brutal and over those years I stopped caring about me. All my attention and energy were focused on him and trying to give him some quality of life. My only comfort has been food. I am now lost and broken and my health is suffering. I am overweight with so many painful issues . I either give up or try to make carnivore work for me. I have to find a way to care about myself enough to do this.
Hugs. xxx Your husband is now at peace and all he wants from you is to LIVE like you've never lived. But you can only do it in a High Frequency Vessel (Body Temple). That is why you were led to Kelly's channel. It's time to care for yourself like never before. Words are powerful. You are NOT lost. And you are NOT broken. You are a child of God who has much to offer the world & this Bright New Beginning is a righteous path that heals us on ALL levels. We are here for you.
@@jhenyalovering41 thank you. I am going to give it my best effort. Stocked up on meat yesterday and I am cooking a big pot roast for dinner and I will have a few days of leftovers. I'm hoping for great things ahead. Bless you for the encouragement.
Susan was so inspirational and real and relatable....this was what I needed to hear...Ive been carnivore since July 1, 2023...had been keto for years but stalled on weight loss...to those waiting for it to work its magic I believe everyone is in different stages of healing...but stay the course and you will see...I thank God for all the people on youtube trying to help us all get better and live better lives😊
I started July 1, 2023 too!! Though I’ve had several cheats, still not feeling my best but I’ve lost 8lbs, my skin is better (acne), I’m sleeping better, deeper and I feel more calm and less anxious in general.
I began in June 2023. I haven't lost an ounce! My background was intermittent fasting. I lost 70 pounds in a year and then started gaining!! The longer I fasted, the less positive results I got. I'm really trying hard to eat twice a day and increase my calories. I've been managing to eat 1900 daily, but still no loss on the scale or my frame. I'm staying the course, but am incredibly discouraged.
@@michellepoelma2791 hello there, I know the discouragement is real but please remember your body could be doing the healing, of many years, first. When I started well over 2 years ago some acquaintances were noticing my weight loss within a month or two and yet I couldn’t see it until a few weeks later when my clothing got looser. I still notice fat areas on my body even though I’m wearing 2 sizes smaller and have been for 2 years. However my eGFR reading reversed from its downward trend and that had been my original why and I’ve definitely had remarkable recovery from low moods/circumstantial depression.
Thank you for sharing your journey Susan! I have had a similar journey. Was over 350 (my home scale didn't go higher), and I called out to God for his help and he answered. This way of eating has given me my life back. Thank you Kelly for your YT channel.
This is saving my Life! I love seeing someone in my age bracket. I'm 63 years old and started ketovore a week ago. But I'm more inclined to do carnivore after watching this. I've also started walking at least 2 miles a few days a week, but I'm working towards doing more! I'm 5'-5" and 186lbs.. but as a young person (under 30 years old), I weighed 121 lbs. I developed hypothyroidism at 36, and it's been one thing after another. I have heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. 😢 I'm going carnivore tomorrow because of this video!
I'm 60, nearly died two years ago from an infection and found the carnivore diet for healing. Never looked back. I'm in better shape than my 30+ kids and can run up a flight of steps. Stick with it, and look up Dr. Berry. She's right, he's inspiring and just the best guide.
Love this! I prayed for the Lord to show me what foods I should be eating. I've been carnivore since November and had a recent surgery and lots of well meaning friends and family say I need a raw vegan diet and not carnivore. This was an answer to prayer to stay the carnivore course. Thank you ladies and God bless!❤
Im 62 and all my adult life , Ive been overweight, raising 4 kids 10 yrs apart. I still have a just turned 19 at home. My kids have never seen me energetic or not in pain or not depressed about my food addiction. Your story has inspired me. To finish healthy and out of pain. And to not have my husband and kids take care of me. Ive been diabetic since I was 34. And have some damage in my balance and neuropathy. I can only walk 15 min. Thank you Kelly for sharing your story and for having Susan on your show. Thank you susan for sharing!
Crohn's disease here! I'm on day 5 of Carnivore. The improvements to my gut pain is notably better already. My trips to the bathroom have reduced from 14+/day to +/- 5/day. Actually, by day 2, I've been feeling like my stomach is stronger, firmer (in a good way). Lost 3 pounds in 4 days, eating meat and fat. This is remarkable so far!
Stay with it! I’ve been carnivore since September ‘23 and have no more abdominal symptoms and no more diarrhea ! It’s like abracadabra poof no more symptoms. I’m in my 60’s and feel great!
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing your story. I sent to my aunt who is now eating carnivore with me. Your story is so inspiring! I’m 64 and was plant based for 5 years. I’m not overweight I’m actually considered underweight. I have Psoriasis, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis and trying to gain muscle and strength.
I know carnivore will improve your joint pain. It certainly was nothing short of miraculous for me. I'm rooting for your success. Stay the course, I'm nearly to my 1st "Carni-verssary". And I'm NEVER EVER going back. 🥓🧂🥚🥩
I am 60 and did strict carnivore for 6 months in 2020. It healed my 25 years of fibromyalgia pain , back pain and chronic myofacial pain. I have been off all my pain meds for 3: years now. Simply amazing.
I am on day 238 of Carnivore and I'm 74 years old. I am not losing weight as fast as everyone else. I am, however, losing inches all over my body. I imagine that one day I'll find I have finally lost 45 lbs. I love it and it's actually easy for me however, I am not doing the fasting that I used to do. I will again when I can. I love being carnivore and my 'why' is to heal my body and to be able to walk easily again and to avoid the Dementia that my Mother had in her later years.
My mother didn't recognise any of her children towards the end of her life. She was anxious and fearful of everything. I am very much like her, and I refuse to end my years like her. So, I'm carnivore for the last 2.5years with very few falls into marmelade hell.
I’m on day 11 and this video popped up today. Sometimes I get frustrated because my family won’t join me on carnivore, and it gets me down when they eat all the crap food in front of me. I needed this video, so thank you ladies! ❤❤❤❤
I'm starting my journey at 320 LBS at 43yrs old. I'm very active, working a technician job 12hrs a day on my feet, but get so very much pain in my feet, ankles, knee, and back. It hurts to get out of bed, that first step on the floor. I have tried many things before, but have always felt so deprived and cravings so strong that I have never made it past 30 days of eating "good". I'm in my 2nd week of carnivore. And for the first time it is Soooo different. I don't crave junk, I am very full, and even after I got laid-off work I did not stuff my face. It was a HUGE accomplishment for me. The BIGGEST difference I have seen with my own eyes in such a short time, is cellulite disappearing before my very eyes. Just Wow!!❤
Almost 13 weeks in. Have several hundred lbs to loose. Started because of a sudden debilitating diagnosis of bone on bone hip arthritis. Was taking a lot of ibuprofen but have quit cold Turkey. I know I’ve lost some inflammation but i don’t think I’ve lost much weight. I’m grateful for this way of eating for giving me the ability to be satiated. My mental health is better, mostly, but I am sad I don’t look different. I want to be a light for my family so they eat better.
You're doing great! Trust your body to take all the time it needs to heal from the ground up. It may prioritize things differently than you would, but it knows what it's doing. Just keep giving it what it needs.
LOVED this interview!! I am a 63 year old woman who has used food for comfort since I was in single digits. Oh, yeah, totally carb addicted. I am an alcoholic (sober 18 years on 2/4/24) and since I quit drinking I’ve complained that I can’t kick my food addiction in the same way: Cold Turkey. I believe I failed at every diet, even keto (which I loved!) because of having too many choices, and focusing on food too much. Carnivore is as close to Cold Turkey as I can get with eating. My mantra is, I eat only animal products. Easy peasy. I make sure to have lots of meat in my freezer so I never have to Think About What To Eat. I never have to walk anywhere in the grocery store than the meat section and the egg area. Back to my failure on Keto - I found myself always waiting for the huge spike in energy and mental clarity I felt I was promised but it never came. Today marks 3 weeks for me on Carnivore. I suffered the first week but during the second week, I woke up feeling GOOD! I mean Really Good! My outlook on life is effortlessly positive, I have NO CRAVINGS, and my body is much less achy. The rewards have begun already and I can easily see myself eating this way for the rest of my life. Loose skin be damned.😘 Thank you thank you thank you♥️🎈
One day they will discover that sugar metabolism and alcoholism are intensely related. I'm a retired RN and I see the correlation and can't believe nobody has studied this yet
I thank you for talking to this lady. I lost my son in 2023 . I fell Aug 26 2023 so I have had enough. I started keto And moved down to 16 carbs away. And most day I eat just meat.
Kelly and Susan, wow! I went carnivore June 15, 2023. I've binged SO many carnivore RU-vid's since then, but this is my favorite interview!! So down to earth and honest. I also found that if I ate more meat I lost more weight! Thank you Kelly, for all you do! Susan you have a lot to offer, time to do more video's!!
I'm just starting this week... I wish someone would explain the difference. You went from eating this much to how much? I don't want to under eat... yet wow, this can get expensive!
So enjoyed this little chat. In the last 15 years I turned into someone that didn't even resemble me. And then my husband as well, got really sick and I packed on even more weight and unhealthy habits. Last year, August 1, 2023 I decided to turn to carnivore. I think I first heard of this through Jordan Peterson and then surfed the internet and I felt such a peace at the idea. It's been a year now, I turned 66 August 6, 2023 and I'm 65 lbs down and as you said, that's just the tip of the blessings I've received.
Beautifully told. This lady feels like a sister in her story. I’m 73 female and I began carnivore march 2022. Took a 90 challenge. Intended to detox and clean my internal body as well as clear my mental state. Within 3 months, I was able to get off meds, full of energy, lost 50 lbs (added benefit as it wasn’t my goal). Sugar is the worst for your mental stability. This life change is the easiest way of life ever to maintain. ❤️
I lost 80lbs and got rid of my loose skin by prolonged fasting once a month. Little by little it melted away! I was keto 1 year and carnivore for the last 4 years.
Just listened to this for the first time. Thanks for telling your story. I'm 61, have battled with my weight my entire life. One hears so many different messages, but yours just resonates with me. I've been afraid to go carnivore, why I don't know. Have been on keto now for months and have lost 12kg, but now it won't move. I'm 163cm tall and weigh 98kg! I don't need a diagnosis to tell me that's obese! Listening to you, I have decided to go carnivore, because how will I know, if I never try? Thanks, from South Africa ❤
I'm 30 days in (53 years young with life long weight issues)...I'm still consuming dairy, but I will be starting the process of eliminating it. What Susan said about dairy being a comfort food really resonated because I full on believe that after I stopped the sugar and processed foods, my coffee and heavy cream became my comfort food instead. It might take time, but I'm determined to give it up over the next few months! God bless you Susan and Kelly, and thank you both for empowering me! 😀
We are 62 and 7 months into carnivore.. 30 lbs down and yes lots of health improvements... we are more active then we could have been for the last 10 yrs.. looking forward to more healing and much more weight loss.. Susan Thank you for sharing your story...
What an amazingly well spoken woman. I love real people stories! Did keto three years but easily slid into low carb and wasn’t feeling my best. I tried to be “healthy keto” with tons of salads. I had so many aches and horrible IBS. I’ve been carnivore for 5 months and it’s been amazing! This is the way I’m going to eat for the rest of my life!
I had a similar experience, Erin. I was eating lean protein and green veggies. I lost weight, but the constipation was unmanageable! I felt in my own body that the more veggies and fiber I consumed, the worse I felt and the worse the constipation. I found an article from World Gastroenterology Journal on the NIH website that talked about a study where 100% of study participants healed themselves of idiopathic constipation by cutting all fiber from their diets! I was shocked. This is not what we're told by doctors and nutritionists. Then, I read that cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy are sometimes advised to eat a no or low fiber/low residual diet to help evacuate the toxins of the chemotherapy from their gut quickly. What? So, *they* KNOW, but they continue to preach and push carbs. As you can probably tell, I'm still mad 😂 I've just started carnivore. I've already had vast improvements in the IBS bloating and relief of constipation; which is amazing! And I had small sores that didn't want to heal- they healed overnight and I'm sleeping better! I'm excited to see how much better I'll feel as my body heals. I'm so thankful.
I can so relate. My son and I cared for my husband/his Dad through a 5 1/2 year cancer battle before he died, with us at his side here at home. The rest of ‘18 and ‘19 are still a blur! Then came pandemic and gym closed. I gained back 40 of the 60+ lbs I had lost. I’m still struggling and have other health issues holding me back. But I keep putting one foot in front of the other and getting closer to 100% carnivore again. Kelly, you and your guest inspire me!
So inspiring, just what I needed to hear today. Struggling Carnivore for 3 years, keep getting sidetracked. I am about 30lbs overweight and I can get by and still be active, but I am not thriving and I am still a slave to carb addiction, which is not "really living". I am ready to commit. Susan, God Bless you. Thank you for sharing your story, it really hit home. I am a 67 year old and you are right, my son should not have to take care of me in my older years.
ditto! im not thriving either - the slavery to carb addiction has pulled me down this summer with so many visitors demanding "normal diet" at mealtimes.... but Susans story has so inspired me: You CAN do it ! im making changes NOW😇 thank you all💗
Wow….. I’ve been in carnivore to loose weight and get rid of diabetes…. I haven’t been loosing because I’m not eating enough! I thought, wow a pound of meat is a lot! Nope, I’m way under calories….. what an eye opener this was! Thanks for the amazing interview! I’m gonna join this carnivore group for more help!
It’s great to hear a story from someone in my age group. I’m almost 6 months Carnivore and really struggling with the weight and definitely holding onto the heavy whipping cream at least three days a week. I’m also wondering now if I eat enough and I know I don’t walk enough after hearing you too. Greatly appreciated! ❤
I think the biggest mistake the car and more community makes for those who are using it to lose weight is telling him that dairy is okay. You simply must quit using dairy products cheese and heavy whipping cream especially if you want to lose weight. I cannot stress this enough I've seen this happen so many times and it's what stops people from being successful. Not to mention I do think everyone should walk everyday. There was a guy on RU-vid who I follow who's been stalled a year and decided to walk in the month of July and lost 12 lb after not losing anyway for 12 months all by simply walking one to two miles a day basically 30 minutes or less
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 Thank you for sharing this information. My goal is to eliminate dairy all together, so this may be the incentive I need to move forward on my weight loss goal! And also to add daily walking to my life. Appreciated.
I have greatly reduced my dairy consumption but man, I love cheese. I’m from Wisconsin where it’s all good! I’m down to having cheese about three times a week and I watch carefully how much I eat. I am thankfully not super into heavy cream.
Hey Kelly, I am an adult woman and ditched sugar and all carbs around three years ago. Went keto, then full fat carnivore. For 6 months when I first started I felt like I had the flu and digestive issues, as my body adjusted. But I am so glad I stuck with it....and WOW after seven months, and especially 1 year, my health skyrocketed. No more skin issues, hormones rebalanced, skin tightened even more, no colds or infections, perfect eyesight, perfect hearing, perfect blood pressure, I never look a day older than 26 years, perfect skin, perfect teeth, beautiful lean but curvy figure, no edema I could go on. SNATCH BABY !! 😎
You had me at “hormones balance”. I have been carnivore since the end of May and had gained 15lbs. I have been tracking but not limiting and I’m going to try to up my calories. When I ate higher calories a couple of weeks ago I lost a pound. So your adding the hormone balancing is my why because I want to rid myself of the menopause belly. I do feel better than I have emotionally which is huge!!! Delayed does not mean denied! 🎉
@@jennilonvaughn Please research Dr Berg and Dr Berry on those issues. I also avoid all preservatives and eat as much organic as possible and the only dairy I eat is cheese and full fat cream....as non organic is full of synthetic hormones. Youre still insulin resistant. Its not about calories its about ketones and being fat/protein adapted. You will want to eat a lot of cruciferous veg. Thats the only plant I eat as they balance hormones also. I take a supplement however as I cant eat plant matter
@@Midnight_Lantern thank you! Heavy cream in my coffee is really the only dairy I eat. I’m not into cheese the way I once was since being on this which is weird. I will look them up! Thank you!!!
I’ve been mostly carnivore for 25 days. I usually have a 6-8 he eating window. For the first time in my life 16 days in I had to force myself to eat a 2nd meal because I knew I needed the energy but I really wasn’t hungry. I thought, “this is what it feels like to eat to live”!
❤ this episode. You have touched me today. You had so many hidden gem messages I needed today. Very sorry for your loss and very happy for your comeback!
Kelly, I have been struggling lately and you were in my dream last night. So this morning I looked on RU-vid and this video was recommended to me. I'm so glad I watched this. It has helped renew my determination to keep going with carnivore. I am ketovore currently, only having tea, dill pickles and green olives from the plant kingdom with a few seasonings but I find your story very encouraging. Thank you. 💜
I'm struggling with tea, pickles, & I believe, the Stevia in flavored LMNT.. feel so good for a few days, then add one or more of these & I'm back to joint pain.. sigh.. heard Laura Spath say.. " just stay carnivore for today" .. praying this for myself & anyone else .. trying!
Just saw this today, September 4, 2023. I am 80, been working on Keto, intermittent fasting, carnivore off and on for a couple of years. Going back on Keto today, planning to go to Carnivore. What a perfect video to see! Kelly, I’ve been enjoying your videos during these last two years. And Susan (my mother’s name) thank you so much for being such an inspiration on the perfect day for me!
Susan, thank you for sharing our story! Kelly, thank you for sharing Susan's story! As a representative the 60-plus age bracket, I so appreciate the broad range of carnivore age demographics shared on your channel. Danke!
"So sings my soul!" One of my favorite videos! This interview is amazing; LOVE Susan's story. The statement of current pics are for us, and the "before" pics are for others is so true (& well said). I'm 65 & jumped straight into Carnivore mid-June. Finding my way forward by watching videos like this. My "why" is strong. Hoping my blood work shows a healthier version of me when I go to Oncologist mid-September.
What a strong and beautiful lady Susan is. I wish this strength and beauty (and health and sanity and vitality) for every lady her age. This is how we should be living, and she shows it, clear as day. I loved her comparison of walking through a bakery without feeling any temptation to walking through a bank and not feeling any temptation to rob the place! 😂😂😂 She's so funny!
Thank you so much for sharing your story Susan! I needed afresh filling of hope! Carnivore has helped restore my sanity! The sanity is my reason for staying. Years ago I had lost 127# following a weighed and measured keto diet, maintained it for 10+ years. Regained 80 over the 15 years after divorce…. Now 68, I was feeling that I would never be able to lose that extra weight and get healthy again….thank you again! I am sitting in an airport right now, with a friend who is also struggling to lose so she can have surgery….her “nutritionist” is still prescribing carbs!!! She asked why I don’t eat any veg….she rejects the rationale to eliminate carbs….
This was a great interview. I jumped into a committed keto lifestyle for a full year 8 years ago. My weight is 120 lbs on a 5'4 frame but I suffer from anxiety. Losing weight wasn't my goal but to help with my mental/emotional health. I learned a lot but didn't excel on keto...my heart palpitated too fast, even while making sure I kept my electrolytes up. Over the years,, I eventually and organically moved over to locally grown grass-fed beef, pork and chickens and raw milk. butter and eggs from a local farmer. Feeling satiated and satisfied on these foods, the veggies I eat are coming from my organic garden and I use them more as a flavoring. My favorite high-carb vegetable are carmelized onions in butter. Won't be getting rid of raw dairy..... very calming to my nervous system.
I'm 65 and this is my story in so many ways. Thank you both for inspiring me to keep going and not listening to people that just want to sabotage me every step of the way. I've always put others first and it has been my downfall in so many ways. Thank you both.🤗
I need to hear this! I've called out many times to my heavenly Father for help! I have been doing carnivore for 4 weeks. First week dropped 5.5 pounds... Then nothing! It's frustrating. I'm 66 and done every diet under the sun! I am trying to eat more and get over the 1250-1400 calorie mindset. I need a friend like you Susan!
Wow, Im approaching age 66. I am so impressed by the eloquent story this woman tells. Indeed, the situation is not just changing what you eat. By changing your life you realize your physical health and mental health and your spiritual health are intertwined. The WHY is do perfect!
September 2020 I retired at seventy from twenty six years in dialysis because I felt I was too broken down to be capable at my job. I was over three hundred lbs at the time even though I had been eating a more or less low carb life for twenty years. I just couldn't regulate, I successfully avoided sugar and grains, but that left plenty of room for other foods to creep in. I put on an additional thirty lbs in retirement by summer 2022. I got a bit stricter with keto and by March I had lost some weight, so I bought a scale and found I had lost the thirty lbs. By the last week of March I started carnivore. I needed so much healing that I only lost four lbs by the end of April, the weight then started to come off, even though the speed of it was still far slower than many reported. I have only lost two lbs in August for a total of forty four with one hundred to go, I guess I need more healing. I do omad and periodic longer fasting for the autophagy as the healing is something I need. I did refine what I did eat in April, including removing dairy. I eat various meats and fats only now. I have had more healing that I can list here, but one subject has made a major impression on me. I was diagnosed with stage three kidney disease abut three years ago. As someone who worked in dialysis I knew what that meant. We were all taught that kidney disease was progressive and ended in kidney failure. I knew my weight would get totally out of control on the recommended diet and I had been skating the edges of diabetes for twenty years with my original start of low carb to keep it at bay. The diet recommended would have pushed me over the edge into diabetes too. Well I had blood draws done on May 19 and my kidney number were improved with my creatinine in the normal level 1.23 with the limit being 1.28 and my gfr being over sixty, the lower limit for my age. BUN was down but still elevated. I just had a second blood draw on Monday and the creatinine was 1.18 and the BUN was twenty six which is one over normal range. I have beaten the kidney disease with carnivore. My A1c was 5.6, the lowest it has been in years and also in the normal range. My fasting insulin is now five. There are so many other things I don't suffer with anymore, ibs, urinary tract issues and incontinence, psoriasis on the top of my head, arthritis in my hands, and on and on. But the kidney issue is the crown jewel, If the ongoing issues I still have including the weight remain, I am still a winner.
I relate so much to your healing and super slow weight loss. I am blessed to have a great attitude about eating carnivore for life, no temptation so that makes the slow weight loss easier to deal with hoping the same for you!
@@womeehagemann The fact that a killer disease that I have seen take many lives was removed from me is enough of a "why" for me to not give it up, no matter what other frustrations I might feel. The remission of diabetes is just an extra on top of thet.
@@daleval2182The more I read and hear, the more I come to realize that remission of kidney disease isn't all that uncommon on carnivore. What leads me to despair is that I worked in dialysis from1996 to September 2020 and now see just how many ended up on the machines or dead when it wasn't necessary.
Kelly and Susan, what a blessing this video was! Thank you for taking the time to record and post it. So many things that Susan said resonated with me. I too am in my 60s and I cared for my husband for almost two years before he passed away in January of 2021. Talk about rocking my world! I had known him since I was 17. At some point toward the end of 2021, I cried out to God for help with getting over food addictions. I had toyed with keto for at least 7 years but for me it was mostly “cheat-o” and I was tired of feeling bad physically. Those keto snacks are a real distraction! Suddenly, in December 2021, one of Kelly’s videos just showed up on my YT home page and I watched it in spite of my initial reaction that eating only meat was a wild concept. I decided to give it 30 days and I started in January of 2022 and the rest is history. I have no idea how much weight I’ve lost because I got out of the daily weight tracking madness but I do know that people are always commenting that I’ve lost a lot and I’ve had to buy new clothes. (My guess is it is somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40lbs based on a weigh-in at a medical appointment.) One of the greatest joys of this whole adventure is seeing how loving our Father is to answer our prayers and if we will be willing to do what He shows us, we will always be victorious. The other wonderful benefits are to feel good overall, to sleep well, to no longer be addicted to recreational foods and to be able to eat something delicious when I’m hungry, which is usually only once or twice a day. Thanks so much for being such kind and bold ambassadors for this way of eating that has allowed me and many others to be released from the prison of food addiction that held us captive for way too many years. God bless you both!
I made the HUGE mistake of doing Nutrimost= 500 calories a day for 1 month...lost 40 lbs in 1 month then gained it all back + 15lbs going up to 1000-1200 a day🙄🙄🙄 Just starting keto & will progress into carnivore. 5'4" 240lbs at almost 64. Experienced 5 family deaths + 1 more last week. Mental fog, procrastination, agitation, depression, fear feelings, etc.--- God in Christ asked when I was going to turn to & trust Him for help! Amazing how easy it is to drift into not spending time with HIM. I KNOW that HE led me to the Carnivore groups! THANK YOU for POSTING all this information!!! Paying to join groups isn't an option right now so thanks again for putting this out for us!❤️🖖🎉✔️
Thank you so much for this interview. Susan & Kelly really inspired me. I have been back-and-forth on carnivore for two years. I don’t know why I ever let myself break the carnivore diet and go back to eating the standard American diet because then it takes me months to get back on carnivore. I’m starting again today. I really need to hear this. Thank you.
I’m fixing to have a hip replacement and I’m believing that is going to help. Now I can’t walk or excersize but I am doing carnivore. I haven’t lost any weight but health is my goal Thank you for all your information
I needed to hear this. I have been doing carnivore on and off for a year, losing the same kilos every month, just to gain it back next month as a result of having some cheats. It is my 46th birthday this Friday (1 Sept) and what better gift to give myself than my health. I am a firm believer that God did not create me to be overweight, but He has called me for His purpose and glory!!
Carnivore is basically a caveman diet. I love it and feel so much better. Love listening to these inspirational stories which keep me focused. Thank you to Kelly and Susan for sharing
Ladies!!! This was an awesome message today ...and just what I needed! After my bad year in 2022 ...bad, bad case of covid, then kidney stones and surgery to have removed and wearing a stent for a month ...almost as painful as the stones, then a femur fracture and on a walker for 4 months and therapy which led to an MRI and found Lumbar Spinal Stenosis in December. Drs told me I HAD to lose weight, HAD TO! And I was up to 213 lbs from all the sitting, laying around from last year. Until Feb this year I prayed for something ...someone to help me lose weight and that's when Dr. Barry and you Kelly came into my life on that one video together. I jumped right in and have so far lost 44 lbs. Quit taking 1 BP med. Yay! I'm 68 and have been slowly this month cheating and can't seem to stop, gained 4 lbs. Susan, thank you so much for being brave and talking about yourself...and dairy is one of my problems too ... yogurt especially and cheese! Now I'm not sleeping as well, sinus issues acting up and etc. Thanks for opening my eyes ...and for the inspiration... Kelly this new way of eating Carnivore, truly has worked for me ...I just needed that reminder! My why? I want to get healthy, so down the road if my husband needs to carry me ...he'll be able to! I'm halfway there now! And a drs appointment in September, with tests ...and them seeing the new me excites me now again. Thank you so much dear ladies! Big hugs to you both, Suzy Q
Hi KellyIt was awesome being with you at the NJ Meat up in July! This video was just what I needed to view today! I know I am not eating enough meat, but it goes against my common sense to consume more than "just enough!" I followed Keto for 2 years and transitioned to carnivore when beef was my primary choice of food! I am 78 years old, and I feel great on carnivore, however my weight loss has stalled at 55 pounds over a 4-year period. I tell myself I am probably at my ideal weight, since I have surpassed weight goals twice (at 150 and 140 pounds). I have recently stopped using heavy cream in my coffee, and now I am ready to give up coffee and cheese! After watching your interview with Susan and hearing her story, I'm convinced I need to eat more ribeyes and burgers!! Thanks, Arline!
I love hearing her commitment to setting a goal...like "I'll try it for 30 days." She's amazing. I started with Keto...still am a ketovore. But the few months I went carnivore, felt great. SHould head back to full carnivore again...I'm only 37 minutes in on this video.
You girls are amazing! It's so true that women, including myself, restrict calories whether consciously or unconsciously. Weve had a lifetime of this conditioning. My weight gain was very gradual until menopause. I literally don't recognize me. So thank you for this Inspiring interview for those of us at a certain age.
SAME!! I look nothing like I did when I was younger...a few years ago (at my highest weight), I bumped into an old friend and she had no idea who I was! Not even when I identified myself! I'm currently down by 60# so hopefully I'll start resembling myself soon...40# to go!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for having Susan on your channel, and THANK YOU Susan for being willing to step out of your comfort zone to do it! This has been such a blessing to me this morning. I've journalled a TON of thoughts down that hit me where it counts! Long story short, I'm 57yo, I've recently had some emotional healing over a big issue in my life and was then able to decide to get back to keto - which lasted all of 3 or 4 days as I'd found the REVERSED series on YT and decided to jump to carnivore! I've lost 18 lbs in 5 weeks and things have sped up this week as I've added MORE fat - go figure! 💃I will take to heart the advice to eat MORE, and the ratio of protein to fat - I already have a shorter eating window in my day, but I think I can tweak that, too. Kelly, I'm looking into your groups - I'd love to join, just have to see if I can find a good time for my schedule! Will look at that later today for sure - right now, I have to go visit my two grand babies - a BIG part of my own WHY for getting my body (and health!) back! Much love from Canada!
Thank you for this, ladies!!! I'm 30 days into my 90. Didn't choose this for weight loss, but I'm down 11 lbs.! Blood pressure has been so low, I'm asking my doc to cut my med in half. I can't say I haven't cheated once or thrice, but the community helps me to remember my "why", and it's a good lesson in forgiving oneself and moving forward.
Perfect timing for me! Just happen to be starting a kick off with a friend Sept 1st and just happened to set the time frame Sept,Oct,November so we could enjoy the Holidays feeling and looking better. So needed to hear “shut up and eat the meat”. Thanks Kelly for inviting Susan to share her story. I so needed to hear her story. I helped my Mom take care of my Dad and it was a horrible experience also. It’s like she was telling my story. So many things I could say “that’s me. I do that. Wow!
This is great! For me, at 62 years of age and having lost 60+ lbs of the 120lbs I want to lose, my skin isn't really loose. I believe it's b/c I fast 36hrs every few weeks. The reason I fast is b/c I stalled for over a year just eating carnivore. I tried OMAD and every other thing (upping my fat, eating 2-3 times a day in different length eating windows. Stalled. I've upped my calories above 1800 calories to in the 2,000 and 3,000 calories, and still stalled. I eat when I'm hungry (which tends to OMAD), but yeah, fasting is the only thing that seems to work to get me to lose weight. I will say, I eat at least a pound of beef when I eat and some butter. People need to find what works for them.
Fasting will eat the excess skin, I lost mine by 3 days fast once a month, doing 15 min exercise a day, and rub on Castor oil , the combination is a winner
I hear your messages about calorie restriction being a bad thing, both you and Susan. I SEE the results! And I am still terrified of eating more and I don’t eat a lot, only about 1,000 calories😅. I know, I know!. I’m in a wheelchair right now so getting exercise is a challenge. I’ve been strictly carnivore since the end of June 2023 and I’m losing weight and feel better than I’ve felt in ages, and I’m not hungry, but quite satisfied. Quite frankly,the thought of upping my caloric intake terrifies me. I feel like once I lose the weight I must lose, I’ll start to gradually up my calories and see what happens. Kelly, I joined your Monday coaching sessions in July and will be back on in September.I LOVE these sessions and the other people on them. Keep up with the messaging about WHY caloric restriction is not good for us. That message will penetrate this very thick wall of 60 years of being told I will always have to restrict my calories or I would pay the price in weight gain. It was a mantra I the home I lived in. Thanks for sharing your stories. Susan is inspiring!
This is just who I needed to see today. I'm 61 and struggling to stay on track. You have given me some great motivation! Thanks again Kelly for bringing people to the forefront who don't know they can be a blessing to someone!!
If you are at the least bit hungry on Carnivore to make you struggle, eat more fat, to succeed we must be fat adapted, anyone with more than 25 % body fat has 1000s of calories hanging on their body. Once our body is fat adapted, struggling ends
