This Carnivore Mistake PREVENTS Weight Loss! 

This is me! I binged all the time, feel guilty, eat well and then reward myself by binge eating. I am not fully carnivore yet, but very low carbs with high amounts of eggs and beef along with daily electrolytes and I am starting to feel much better.

I may be the only one, but I appreciate that she speaks fast. I usually find myself fast forwarding and annoyed these interviews drag on. But of course I talk fast too!

I do about 85% carn...very little sugar aside from honey and berry fruit & yogurt in the morning. ..the odd peanut butter cup...angus meat, burger & dogs, bacon, eggs (& I'm losing interest in eggs) salmon, lamb, peanutbutter, little gluten except for sandwiches now and then, no pizza, taters, rice, veggies, (never liked veggies mostly) avos, so it's pretty easy. My weight is normal same size as high school 32w, walk 2 miles every morning, do the gym 3 days a week...I'm 73. No brain fog...sleep great, calmer, stress fell like deflating a ballon, vision improved, and the arthritis is down 90%. So I'm just going along without any concern and that's me.... PS...Im not on any meds. No blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes kidney prostate issues of any kind. I take nitrous oxide to keep my blood elastic for a minor heart valve issue which I'm told is common at my age....but it beats strong and regular when I'm pumping weights at the gym. So I'll just go along my merry wat til I fall over dead or don't get up some morning,which is fine with me, ya know? Weird world.

I am starting my carnivore journey today. I was vegan for almost 5 years and it ruined my health, both mentally and physically. It’s been a little over a year since I stopped my vegan journey… my health is so much better. Almost all my issues are gone. Mentally I am 95% better and physically I am about 85% better. I have such an issue with sugar and carbs. My diet is mainly animal based not necessarily by choice, most plant based foods mess my system up. But now I’m making it a choice. I just had a mental breakdown because of a part of a cookie I just ate, because I have an addiction. For me I can’t just have sweets in moderation, I’ve tried and it doesn’t work for me. I will easily inhale cookie after cookie. Then I’ll want everything with sugar. Which then results in severe headaches, digestive issues and mood swings… I’ve had a horrible relationship with food and my body since I was a very young girl. Always had weight issues and developed an eating disorder around 14… I still struggle with it from time to time. Eating an animal based diet has helped me with that so much.

You can tell this lady is kinda manic, but her story is raw and honest and resonates. Thanks.

I can eat 20 cupcakes in an hour. And then a bag of chips because I couldn't decide if I wanted sweet or salty. But carnivore save me too!! Congrats.

Yes. Pardon the pun, but a weight was lifted from my shoulders about 3 months into going carnivore, by no longer treating it as a diet, but a way of life. A healthy level of weight loss and definition just became nice side effects, but I now somewhat regret those previous years of stressful diets and guilt. I look back and think of what total fixation I had about weight and the amount of time it took out of my life. Thankfully I found this at 38, and I am now 40 and loving my new lifestyle. Do I wish I'd known at 20 what I know now? Heck yes, I may have held onto a bit of hair lol. However, better late than never, and as Dr Chaffee says, "It's never too late to stop putting poison in your body."

She looks fantastic. Healthy. Great interview. I totally jived with so much that she said. I'm 47 and for the first time I feel major freedom and control over my way of eating. I'm only 6 months in but I don't think I'll ever stop because this is the absolute easiest thing I've ever done and I've been on every diet there's is ...I don't even think of this as a diet because it's so easy. I feel amazing

The Carnivore life (I'm hesitant to call it a diet because i hate diets and they don't work) has been amazing for me. I have an autoimmune disorder that I've never been able to keep in check but is in full remission since beginning this lifestyle about 2 months ago. I haven't even increased my level of exercise yet and I'm already down almost 30lbs. My sleep quality has improved, I don't need as much food, my energy is through the roof, I have no joint pain anymore, my mood has improved, I don't get hungry, I don't have cravings and oddly enough, my sense of smell has actually gotten better.

I just turned 52 and this sounds just like my life. Minus the smell issues! Carnivore life is freedom ❤

Her testimony resonated with me as I’ve had a food disorder since early childhood. When I was 5 years old I would wait for my mom to get into the shower and I would go sneak Pringles out of the pantry. But just enough so that she wouldn’t notice any are missing. I also used to take extra hard candies from the candy bowl at church and hide them in my shoes until I got home. I’m starting Carnivore this Saturday 7/1/23 and pray I can finally be delivered.

It is not expensive you’re not buying all that other stuff.

Carnivore diet has brought extreme peace to my inward parts also known as intestines, stomach and colon. It's a wonderful experience to experience peace in one's gut!! Of course, it's helpful to have peace with God!

I can relate to the cupcake binge. Last Christmas right before I took control of my diet I ate about five dozen rice krispy treats over the course of one week.

I love this video, TFS! What I struggle with is to be “free” of always “thinking” about food, thinking the thoughts “oh, what am I going to eat”. I want to conquer always thinking about food/eating. This is the freedom I seek. Been carnivore 3 weeks and definitely feel less like bing eating but I still always “think” about food ugh. I want a new mind and pray everything beautiful from there will follow. ❤️

Oh, I can tell this is going to be worthwhile video from the intro, something I can relate to. Have a great weekend and keep the life changing messages coming our way! ❤ 🥩

Great video, Lillie! Thank you!!!

What a beautiful story AND one I can relate to. For anyone else on this journey.. I wish you well.. Believe in yourself and don't seek validation from your partner. You got this!!

Great interview! Really great content. You both are so vibrant, and I appreciate your candor and generous sharing. Thank you both so much! I'll be listening to this one again and again.

This was another great interview . Thanks Lillie

Great interview ladies appreciate it

If you're only eating 900 calories, your metabolism slows down over time so you can survive on 900 calories. If you then eat more calories than your metabolism is used to, you start to put on weight until your metabolism catches up. This is why the TDEE calorie calculators can be off by HUNDREDS of calories. The only way to KNOW your "calories out" is to track your weekly "calories in" and see what the scale is doing. Learn about "reverse dieting" and you can mitigate that rapid weight gain after a period of caloric restriction.

Thank you for this. I am her age so hearing this and others improving gives a ton of encouragement.

I was a binge eater. Terrible. I would uncontrollably eat all of my sons Easter Eggs then have to go to the shops to replace them before he found out 😩😩😩. Then one day they had sold out of the one that was his favourite and I had to import it from another country because i was too embarrassed to say I had eaten it ALL. Shameful.

I almost thought i needed to start doing 24 to 72 hr fasts in my lifestyle when i saw the scale go up. Its only been 2 weeks. 😅 im glad i put in the work and found this video.

Amen amen amen. Thank you for doing this video.

Great interview! I use carnivore and it’s totally eliminated my battle with Crohn’s disease! Also some skin rashes disappeared. Been a game changer for my health! If you ever need someone on the show to ramble on about the outdated American medical system and the benefits of process free diets let me know! ;)❤

Dry fasting is helping me to become more into carnivore and stopping the sweet cravings and overeating. I stopped water fasting bcuz its nowhere as effective as dry fasting at healing my body and reforming me mentally and emotionally. The changes in my feeling system I’m really blown out the water by. I even did a short about it. I was 90% carnivore for the past year, still craving and eating fruit a few times a month, and eating, not bcuz I’m actually hungry, but bcuz of anxiety. Eating to feel occupied. And now, since I started IF fasting dry a month ago, I’m down 20lbs and about 95% carnivore and seemingly on my way to 100%. That now, I can eat one medium size steak and a few eggs at some other time during the day, and feel normal, almost no anxiety, and eat nothing more until the next day. Dry fasting is a dynamic tool to aid the carnivore diet and transforming it into a lifestyle.

I struggle to eat enough calories for sure. This is my second round trying this..fist time went in using 'priming'. It was way off puting and I wasnt using mearly enough fat..gained 10 pounds in 3 weeks.. I'm tring again, due to a joint issue from my hips down. After a week, I feel sooo much better (I was already on lazy Keto before). So I didn't experience a lot of symptoms. I'm not loosing or gaining right now, but "I can walk". So this is a BIG DEAL.

This is exactly what I think is wrong. This is so helpful! I don’t think I’ve been eating enough! I’m going to try to go back to eating 3 times per day! Thank you so much!!!!!!!

Awesome vid again

Thank You Beautiful Ladies 💝🌻

Don't track calories. Stop weighing yourself. It's freeing.

Very informative! 👍👍

Sadly I had to give up strict carnivore, it just became financially impossible to continue (a kilo of rice costs 2.50 and lasts 4 days, a kilo of ground beef 12 Euro and lasts 2 days). It's HARD to not overeat when half your food is rice and vegetables, you just don't feel full on those things. It's almost like they go through the stomach as fast as you can shove them in... I try to eat meat only every other day, and the other day 50-50 meat and rice/vegetables. The main thing it helped me with is isolating all my food allergies, by cutting out everything and reintroducing stuff one at a time it's easy to find out what makes you sick...

This comes so close to home 😢I had an eating disorder for about 30 years and dieted on and off all my adult life, I lost 8 stone when I turned 40 put it all back on within a year had a mental breakdown because of it and took another 4 years to stop binging, couldn’t maintain any weight loss, I started the carnivore lifestyle around the beginning of June this year and have lost 3 1/2 stone so far 😅I don’t have the cravings or inflammation any more, sleep and feel so much better, I am determined to stick to this way of eating from now on 😊

Interesting story and information👍🏻

She has great recipes too‼️❣️

Whenever I hear "calories in; calories out" doesn't understand. Great information.

Serena is amazing!!!!!

I like the aspect of carnivoare that we can eat our way to good health. lol Wonderful.

bacon grease and salt I love it

Telling my friends how great I feel now… they clutch their carbs & look at me like I’m crazy. I really wish everyone would try it for just a couple weeks.

I get so stuffed, I have trouble eating as much as most other carnivores. The calories I get are below my maintenance.

From day one, You start feeling Very healthy, deflamation start the Very night You start. It's amazing

I save money by taking advantage of sales Plus very little waste now. So much money was thrown away with veggies

I have the weird sense of smell and taste thing, too! My taste has been off for probably close to two years now, and smell has been extra-sensitive for maybe six months. I was never diagnosed with COVID, but guessing I’ve had it a couple times. I started looking into Carnivore by default when I didn’t want to eat salads anymore, they just didn’t sound good to me at all. I was curious if people can get by with eating hardly any veggies or fruits. Looks like I’m going to live!

Agree on the shrimp but I melt butter and when it’s starting to get harder I dip my shrimp in it for my sauce.

So true !!!

How was she only 12 lbs overweight eating the way she was??

We are the same age! I will be 50 in April and I am on day 21 of carnivore. I came from a very poor background and grew up on the things mentioned, top ramen, mac and cheese. RIP mama Joy. You did your best. No shade. Anyway I started developing a little bit of a weight problem at about age 12 and my mom discouraged me from eating because she didn't want me to be constantly 30-lb overweight like her. You won't believe this but for the most part I've done omad since I was 14. My thyroid developed nodules when I was about 30 and that's probably due to not enough calories. Anyway I haven't lost any weight yet and I've been very strict. It's difficult because I'm eating all I can, chunk of butter in my decaf. After I lift weights I have eight big shrimp cooked in butter and cream. 8 oz of ribeye for dinner. This is an example of yesterday. Maybe some more butter in my herbal tea at night. I just can't physically eat more. I'm 5'8" and 173 lb. I've been fighting the same 20lb for 30 years. I do look younger than my age and I attribute that to all the fasting and autophagy but it's time to nourish and heal now. I do notice my face is much less puffy so that's something. I don't find a diet has been that hard to stick to, but it is the first time in my life I've actually eaten when I'm hungry as opposed to grinding through it until dinner.

Yeah, one year and fell off the wagon. Half gallon chocolate 🍦 ice cream gone in one 🌙 night. It was at least GMO free. Now ,I feel like I got hit by a buss

That Covid side effect sounds like literal torture. I'm super sensitive to smell...I can't imagine how awful that was for her. Bless her heart, I feel for her having to battle this. You can't NOT eat.

How do I figure out what is 60-80% fat?

This video certainly does have value for everyone. Personally speaking - meat healed my acid reflux, my carb addiction, obesity, insulin resistance , changes in vision, low blood sugar, gallbladder, pancreatitis and kidney problems. As a result I'm able to find the time to conduct research regarding a hypothesis I have regarding one possible fundamental reason as to why many members of both the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomer cohort were both so late at beginning a KETO journey In one word: Popeye. Beginning in 1929, the creators and publishers of the comic strip and the cartoons began a campaign of what perhaps can be referred to as pro-vegan "Popeye-ganda." part of the popular culture zeitgeist for decades. Popeye of course claimed he was "strong to the finich 'cause I eats me Spinach." As a result, countless parents encouraged their children for decades to "eat your vegetables so you'll be strong like Popeye." Remember also that it was common for kids to watch Popeye cartoons between arriving home from school and sitting down to dinner. Talk about timing. To counterbalance things somewhat, of course, the character Wimpy was something of a carnivore with his preference for hamburgers he couldn't pay for.

Omgosh… I have/had the same thing with the awful taste and smell post Vid! I only liked sugary foods too. I still won’t eat some of my old favorite foods like vegetables and fruit. I still have some of that nasty smells and tastes… but most is better. It will be a year next week. Thankfully I love the taste of beef! Still can’t seem to do fish or chicken. 3 months doing mostly carnivore.

💗💗💗

I've just started and am using carb manager app as a guide. Do you think this is a good app?

I’ve never been able to eat garlic and onion. I don’t miss it.

WHEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW MUCH IT COSTS...Tell them this "Eat your food as medicine, So you don't have to eat your medicine as Food!" 1. You eat less because you become fuller, faster. 2. It stops the snacking on junk foods. 3. You eat less often which stops your insulin from spiking, as it does everytime you eat anything, or put anything in your mouth. So, you basically save money in the shorter, longer run on things... The good for your foods has gone up dramatically with biden inflation, especially my beloved butter...but Im eating more butter everyday and Im not as hungry for longer stretches of time. Steak and butter gal helped explain that and boy does it work. I never thought I would enjoy sucking on a stick of butter driving around for work...and the looks when other drivers at a light sees me with a stick of butter in my mouth...then the smile they see on my face makes them laugh!

I would love to know how you find out how you figure your calories and macros. Can someone help?

I have parosmia. It has healed like 80%. I can't eat chocolate, drink coke, cream cheese is getting better, and McDonald's burger taste bad still. Other than that, it has healed through my S.A.D. diet. I try to go carnivore but it gets expensive even with just ground beef.

Just curious what is a good amount of cheese per day? This is a hard one to cut down. I can't cut out cheese.

I’m 1 year post parosmia now and I can finally eat onions, garlic is a no. I can’t do pepperoni still or meats like that. But I’ve been carnivore for almost 6 months. Funny enough I swear the septum piercing did help. Then I did carnivore for 6 weeks last summer and it definitely helped a bit. Now I can do coffee too. Peanut butter, banana, garlic, and chocolate we’re definitely no’s for the past year. Fruit is mostly back to normal but I don’t eat it really so idk about banana and obviously I’m not going to eat chocolate or peanut butter. I may incorporate garlic again when I can.

I appreciate hearing Serena’s story, and I can relate to a lot of it. I’m actually on day 3 of carnivore after being vegan for 7 years. When she mentioned that she gained weight in the beginning, I find it hard to believe that the cause wasn’t excess calories. A calorie surplus regardless of the source will cause weight gain and vice versa, a calorie deficit regardless of the source will cause weight loss. Shawn Baker also mentions this as being rooted in science. A professor at Kansas State University proved this in what he dubbed the “Twinkie diet” where he placed himself in an 800 calorie deficit eating nothing but processed sugary foods for 10 weeks. In his experiment, he lost 27 lbs. I suspect dairy might have been the cause of Serena’s weight gain. If you’re doing carnivore, limit dairy intake because it is very calorically dense and it is not as satiating as meat. It’s very easy to go over your calories on a carnivore diet if you eat too much dairy.

That's very common to go up first

Do you include coffee in your diet or any caffeine?

I hear a lot of people in carnivore World talking about oh I can't tolerate this or I can't tolerate that or I'd like to add this into my diet but I can't for me it's completely different I don't even want anything else. Just give me a steak or some brisket or some meat or some cream I have no interest in cookies or garlic or onions or anything a cake, bread is a yuck all I want is meat so I know I found my space. I know where I'm where nature intended me to be and I'm happy. I'm not forgoing anything to live the carnivore lifestyle. l eat everything I want and only the things I want

So how should you figure out how much to eat? I was keto and usually only eat two meals a day, sometimes one.

I've gone right off the rails with carnivore, which i started in march. My sugar cravings and dairy addiction has gone through the roof, and i've been stuffing my face with biscuits (cookies). I cant control it at the moment, i'm completely adrift, and getting fatter by the day.

serena,tell us exactly specifically what do U eat on carnivore. it's not working.3yrs .

So she supplements with vitamins, for the fruit & veggie nutrients ? And what about effects on pertinent organs ?

👍

So do you eat poultry and fish? Sounds so restricting. Plus I can’t have dairy so butter and cheese is out

What kind of fat are we supposed to be eating and how is the ratios measured. Need the complete picture to be able to do this properly please?

Today is my 1st day starting carnivore way of eating...im nervous about gaining weight because my main reason for going carinvore is to loose weight....how DO i know if im eating enough meat?? And fat ???...WHAT FATS SHOULD I BE EATING??

People on videos always say things like you need to eat more fat. But nobody ever tells you how to do it. I have been eating 5 slices of bacon and 4-5 eggs for my first meal around 11:00 and usually a 20 oz ribeye steak for my 2nd at 17:00. I saw some body composition changes at first but weight loss has been minimal. And now non-existent. I’m always happy for the great success others have. I just wonder what I am doing wrong.

I've always enjoyed her cooking shows on Instagram alongside Jess Randle. They've had guests like Bart Kay and Anthony Chaffee. Maybe you can be a guest there one day as well?

Farout! I now know that I have been under eating Fat

I don't understand how eating too little calories causes weight gain. Concentration camp prisoners who were starved were skeletal. Anorexics (true anorexics...not chubby folks who cycle w/ binging) are skeletal. I would have to have a camera on someone 24/7, & observe them, before I'd believe they are gaining weight on calorie restriction, because, like I said, any accounts of someone being locked in a cage, & withheld food, always leads to a skeletal person. Not a fat person.

I don't quite understand the 80/20. how do you add more fat? I do think I'm under eating. which program do you track your food?

I have lost weight but then gained weight back to. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong please help.😊😮

Just started Carnivore. Feeling very hungry despite eating meat. Is that okay to eat like 1 pound plus per meal.

I really really wanted to listen to this guest speaker, interested in what she has to say but she speaks so fast it's really difficult to follow

Tried carnivore last week from sad diet and struggling

20 cupcakes?, ummmm can get pastcthis statement!

I think I’m eating enough protein. But not enough calories or fat.

Was it covid? ......or the jab???

Complaints about free content welcome to the internet

What exactly is wrong with cheese? If you're eating good cheese and have no allergy issues, cheese can be good for you. Aged cheeses are high in K2.

Being carnivore for about 2 months I missed my periods which was regular before

Why is cheese not good?

Great video....she talks fast though...

Have you tried Ivermectin, my mom thinks that helped her of the Covid smells and tastes, she did a low dose for like 6 weeks and that’s it.

I really like that.....I am a Carnivore....Carnivores don't eat that. Thanks anyway.

Epic cute 🙂

If you can’t binge on a rib eye, chicken wings, or pork ribs, I think you need cooking lessons

What vitamin D supplement do you recommend?

Playback .75x lol!

This woman can really talk really fast. Take a breath. Lilly can you have male guests? Not all Drs.
