Three Meaty Stories of Weight-Loss and Healing 

Also, the riding lawnmower not able to make it up the ditch in the front yard while on it and having to find a way to make it carry you up the hill by detouring somehow.

Fabulous insight. I could add a hundred more restrictive things. I’m sure many of us could. This is a great reminder and attitude shifter.

🙏🏼

Amen! And feeling like crap all the time!!!

I hear you! Even some restaurants have chairs that feel "too small" I would much rather shrink to fit and be comfortable than have to go places that accommodate my fat A$$!

I’m a nurse. I work nights. I am going through peri menopause and struggling with sleep. I worry about cortisol but I don’t want to work day shift. I do other things to decrease cortisol, walk, read, love my family and my pets. I laugh a lot. I have a good life but I am obese and am starting carnivore. this video was very encouraging,

How long did it take you to get better sleep?

@@beckiemckeon7091 I’m a night nurse also so I understand what you mean. I hope you’re killing it!

The nurses at the nursing home where I work think I'm crazy as well..even though they all witnessed my 75 lb wt loss and that I reversed t2d. They keep telling me I'm going to die of a heart attacks...you know all the fats..lol. I actually got so tired of hearing it I changed them to share labs..they're pretty quiet now 😂😂

@@marianne1959 Oh I LOVE this thank you for sharing it. that will be my go to for anyone giving me all their drama over it.

Amazing 🤩

Praise God… keep up the healthy life

omg! yea I dread what my cardiologist says about the diet but I'm hoping before I see him I will have success in losing lbs.

That’s amazing! How long did it take to lose the weight? I’m a month in and have only lost a few pounds 😢 terrible period. Worried I’m doing something wrong

Yes!!! I love it

👏👏👏💖💖💖

good for you!!!! Did you do Keto or carnivore...more details please. Thanks!

@@kathytittle Thank you very much! You have a lot of great ideas. I would love your recipe(if you have one for the faux ta toes, and "potato" salad. I've lost 24 pounds from my weight that was steady for a few years, and forty overall from my all time high. When I go to visit my parents, my mom is always cooking great food and it is hard. She is naturally skinny(always has been), and eats like three servings of pasta and bread and butter, and dessert. She also overall eats healthy and walks four miles a day, but largely eats whatever she want. My brother got her genes. I got my dad's, so I need to watch it. Thanks again, and healthy living to you too! I just made some deviled eggs. I love to have things on hand in the fridge. I only eat on time a day at this point, and am not hungry, but still have a ways to go.

Kathy , thank you for sharing. I’m 62 with Multiple Sclerosis. I’m so happy for you. I’m having a hard time sticking with it. After reading all these wonderful testimonies it gives me hope. Many years ago I did Atkins and it really worked. 😄💜🙋‍♀️

Wow !

I'm a carb/sugar holic. How did you start? I've got grandkids that I keep snacks here for 🙄. What's your favorite meal?

Forgot to tell you I just turned 60 too. These last couple months have been horrible on my weight a long with I quit smoking

How's it going?

What an inspiration. I just started yesterday. I'm kind of hungry. I've had 4 scrambled eggs, 5 pcs. of bacon (2PM) and an 8oz. hamburger patty cooked in bacon grease and butter (4PM). It's 2 hours later and I'm hungry, what' going on? What should I do?

@@samsmom400 Your candida fungus in your body is wondering ‘What’s going on too !’ They don’t have any sugar or starches to feed on. So they’re pressing on you with cravings, To feed them. Try fresh squeezed 1/2 lemon in unsweetened tea (cold) for a couple days to kill them off. Make sure you are giving up diet soft drinks & artificial sweeteners, that only tricks your body into wanting the real thing. Once the Candida dies off, you might feel a little sick like flu while your body flushes them out. Drink plenty of water. (8 glasses) a day Your body will reset itself and cravings will go away. 🌺

@@samsmom400 Did you end up eating more meat?

@@Christ_in_Christy Here is what I've recorded: I started 6/16/2022 THURSDAY I ate: 2 PM: ACV drink 3 PM: 3 scrambled eggs, 5 pieces of bacon 7 PM: 8 oz. hamburger patty cooked in bacon grease and butter, 1 piece of bacon, 2 scrambled eggs Today (6/17/2022), FRIDAY I ate: 2 PM: 4 scrambled eggs, and 5 pieces of bacon 4 PM: 8 oz. hamburger cooked in bacon grease and butter 7 PM: 2 boiled eggs It's 6/18/2022, SATURDAY @ 1:14 AM I am hungry. I don't think I ate enough. I'm unsure if I should eat something or just go to bed. I feel good in the fact that I don't feel bloated. I'm not STARVING, but I am a bit hungry. I might drink some hot water with ACV, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Tomorrow I plan to eat more at each meal. I got hungry about 2 hours after I ate the first two meals (2 and 4 PM) and then the boiled eggs seemed to keep me fuller longer. That's all I know. Going to bed. 6/18/2022, SATURDAY 3:30 PM: 1 lb. beef patty cooked in bacon grease and butter, 3 pieces of bacon 7:30 PM: 1 lb. beef patty cooked in bacon grease and butter, 2 boiled eggs, 2 pcs. of bacon I didn’t get hungry until right around 3 PM. After I ate my first meal, I was full and didn’t get hungry until 7 PM. I stayed fuller longer today. I used Himalayan salt and my R. Calf is no longer cramping. 6/19/2022, SUNDAY 2:15 PM: 2 boiled eggs - still hungry, waiting for meat to thaw 3:30 PM: 1 lb. beef patty cooked in bacon grease and butter 8:30 PM: Ribeye steak cooked in bacon grease and butter 6/20/2022, MONDAY 10:38 AM: I’m hungry (I didn’t eat, just made a note of it.). Had some diarrhea. 2:30 PM: 1 lb. beef patty cooked in bacon grease and butter; 2 eggs OE fried in bacon grease This is the first time I’ve fried eggs and not had toast. I almost didn’t do it because I just couldn’t imagine eating them like that. I ate them with a spoon, and what a nice surprise! They were good and I think I definitely prefer my eggs OE over scrambled and hard boiled. I can see why people put this on the patty’s, it would make them more “juicy”. I might do it that way next time. I’m still hungry (3:05 PM). I don’t know if I should eat or wait. How could I be hungry after all of that? Drinking more water. I think I need to eat more at each meal. ___________________________________ That's my day so far. I plan on eating my last meal anytime before 8:30 PM, that'll keep me in intermittent fasting. It's 4:45 PM and I feel fine. I'm not feeling hungry. I've been drinking a lot of water. I have ordered some electrolyte drops which will be hear by WED.

How did it go?

me too! ;) you'll do great!

Hope you are doing well.

News like that gets me SO excited!! I'm so happy for you both!! Thank you for sharing!

I'm Canadian and still in a stay at home lockdown. So it's weird seeing this festival- I'm missing my family, I haven't seen them since this pandemic started.

@@myzerocarblife Have just "discovered" you and your story. I love everything about you(and your family). I am inspired! This is a strange ask, but I am watching this video this morning, and I have to know what lip color you and Lindy are wearing. I am not much of a lip color person, but love the colors on the both of you! Thanks if you even respond!!

oh man if I didn't loose a pound but gained what you have going healthwise it will be worth it.

Praise God you took charge of your health!

Seriously! If all else fails, I just eat meat. 😋It simplifies everything so completely, and I feel INCREDIBLE.

Boom, baby!! That's fantastic!!! If you'd to share your story and the details of what you do, please feel free to send me a message on Instagram. I. hope to make more of this type of video in the future. I'm really happy for you! :)

;) yes this 64yr old would enjoy that too!

This 59 year old would love to hear more about those who are post menopause. I'm a bit worried about all that iron and no way to "lose" it.

70 yrs with Parkinson's here!!

​@@bonitakuettner5199 hi Mrs. Kuetter! Have you tried the carnivore diet? Has it helped you with your PD's symptoms? My mother-in-law has PD and I wonder if this way of eating could help her.

Yes. Post menopausal weight gain is a battle previously athletic, thin women have

Hogan's Heros!!! That's awesome!

How's it going? I haven't gone full carnivore yet.

You can do it! Go gal!

wow congrats to you :)) thanks for sharing!!

This inspires me so much. Thank you.

My thoughts exactly!

I suggest you check out Dr. Robert Cywes on RU-vid, the carb addictions of, for his take on carb addiction. It is real.

Ii

@@jeannedigennaro6484 I get to meet Dr. Cywes next week, I'm so excited he lives in the same town as I do 😁

@@maryhazelwood7441 Lucky you! He is a brilliant guy.

I think it's easier to start with low carb high fat diet and transition into carnivore. That way your body has time to adjust you will crave carbs less and less and then you can move into carnivore

I know this is a year later, but I wanted to ask, whilst feeling healthier, did it help a lot with the chronic fatigue (I'm presuming CFS/ME?) as well?

I now have an abundance of energy, often doing star jumps if I’ve had to sit too long! It’s amazing how my exhaustion has completely gone.

@@louisewood9253 Wow, that's amazing. That gives me hope. Did you go cold turkey or slowly transitioned? I'm still learning and trying to transition. I would love to get rid of this!

@@niczen4428 I went keto to start with but naturally moved towards ketovore (less veg). I am mostly carnivore now but occasionally like a little veg for taste. I cut out sugar and grains straight away which is a big step and made sure I stayed hydrated.

@@louisewood9253 Thank you. That's really helpful. I have cut out sugar and I think I'm in tune with my thirst cues (I drink around 2 L of water naturally, not forced). I have cut out gluten (and sadly dairy as I don't tolerate it well). Looks like the next step is grains (and those gf bread and crackers - which are good as a crutch but in some products the ingredients are far more scary than gluten versions!). I need to crowd it out with upping my fatty meats - which I enjoy, it's the sourcing that's tricky.

How are you doing? I am trying to deal with my recent diagnosis of heart failure through carnivore but meds are making fighting for weight loss very difficult. I need to lose 50 lbs ultimately, have been doing keto for a while but had some health problems…more meds and fibromyalgia pain and gout…no more walking….anyway, my cardio group would like to see me more fruit and veggies and I know better…..want to work around the meds that I need to take …any hope?

Very wise! Keep going. I'm glad that you're staying strong. :-)

Yeh if you've been on an unhealthy diet for a long time then it can take a long time to get healthy again. A lot of people i've talked to recommend doing it for at least 12 months to see its full benefits.

Don't you feel any difference in any way?

@@experimentingme7669 no not really. In the first week I had one day when my energy level was through the roof. But nothing after that.

Don't give up! I'm 14 months on this way of eating, and still healing! I don't worry about amounts, but I pay careful attention to how my body reacts to what I eat try listening to all forms of feedback, like inflammation, appetite, energy, sleep quality, etc. I feel best with less salt, dairy, and seasonings, but a glass of dry wine doesn't seem to give me any problems. Find what you feel best on, and eat carnivore in the way you are hungry for. You are your best expert!

You got this! 🥩

Sharon, if you do start carnivore again I’d suggest combining it with intermittent fasting. While eating meat is great for the feeding stage there needs to be particular attention to the time in the un-fed or fasted state. What you don’t do during the fasted time can be just as important as the food during feeding time. Good luck!

@@sigeptim1982 I do fast for 16 hours and feast for 8 hours. I am moving more and feel I am finally on track. Thank you!

Try beef, water and salt only. I have had similar struggles but eating only beef (only eating when hungry and drinking lots of water) is working for me.

I'm 70, lost 14 lbs in last 10 months. Would like to lose more but after a lifetime of dieting (including bariatric surgery 20 yrs ago and putting half the weight back on during a divorce) my metabolism is shot. Following Weight Watchers to the T, for 12 weeks lost 1lb a couple of years ago....at 68 I decided to accept "this is what it is" but hated the constant tiredness; the constantly coated tongue (which started after a juice diet!!), Came to Carnivore via Jordan/Mikaila Peterson podcasts...then this community. Couldn't IMAGINE not eating bread or crackers n cheese (my fav)...and rarely ate red meat. Took no more than a few days to adapt (though I did have to up my intake as quick fried medium/rare steaks were SO satisfying I'd just eat one or two a day). My only concern was what I was going to do with all the time I now had, not spending so much not planning, shopping and cooking. Weight loss has plateaued the last few months but my shape has changed, I can get into ALL my clothes in the closet (which I couldn't for years...new clothes are are a size smaller) and I'm so content not obsessing about everything, there's no way I'm changing or messing with it. The only thing I've added is a small slice of melon and electrolytes cos of hair loss. Carnivore (or dirty carnivore with my melon) has brought me food PEACE.....FINALLY....thank you Jesus...lol.

Love yourself do Carnivore for 30 days. Beef butter bacon eggs.

I'm 72 lost 34 lb no more back pain feet pain feel 100 percent

@@gaynorkelly9413 Check out Dr. Eric Berg youtube channel for video hair loss & his take on healthy Keto. ;) best wishes for your successful journey!

I’m 2 mos in 58yo Lost zero but very satiated by highfat carni Lost inches, clothes fit better I just tryinggggg so hard to be grateful I’m not gaining 😬 I’m still obese tho Need to lose 50lb at least

I love your success story thanks for sharing!

Heather,Amazing,not yet for my 2 yr carnivore journey.still not getting results. .what exactly do you eat.

@@davidrodgers4760 I eat mostly meat (beef, chicken, fish) but I also eat eggs and a little goat milk yogurt. The two non-meat items I eat are homemade sauerkraut (for the probiotics) and onions (they don't seem to bother me and pair well with meat). Typical meals, today I had leftover short ribs for brekkie with sauerkraut and goat yogurt and for dinner I'll eat about two pounds of chicken wings. Yesterday I had saysage and eggs for brekkie and dinner was a porterhouse and sauerkraut. Just two meals a day.

@@heatheraydelott8027 goodmorning, thanks,yes,also loved sauerkraut, stopped,the so called experts zc carnivore sald dont,fermented, have chronic loose stool,they said ,oxalate, h istamine,from beer.still havind gut and sciatica, neuropathy issues.how do you cook the steak,burgers..what temp.,how many minutes..(no grill,small room,cant have smoke from cooking in pan beyond medium heat,so, hard to get mediun rare and good sear,so i eat it a little more cooked than id like,dont like fat cap,unless grill.theres enuf fat in meat).love pickled vita herring,they said stop,vinegar not ok,with loose,they said,eat leaner cuts,trim the fat,use a little butter,not drippings or tallow.many expert long term zc like kevin stock,kelly etc,eat leaner cuts,little fat.going to probably stop the little dairy.dont have a big appetite.gotta do long waterfast, to heal pain ,quit addiction and clear tongue.have a nice day.peacelove

@@davidrodgers4760 Oh man, I do hope you feel better soon. Have you tried reverse searing steaks, cooking low in the oven and then finishing on cast iron briefly? That makes a nice steak and I do it in the winter when it's just too cold to fire up the grill. I know some people, mostly men, do better with leaner cuts but I seem to need large quantities of fat, so I chose fattier cuts. I hope the water fast helps you. Sending positive vibes your way, David.

Congratulations on your progress… And as we say here in America, sticking to your guns. In most cases you know what’s best for your body.

Patient with the process. Your body is trying to rid it’s self years and years stored carbs… Sugar… All those carbs are highly inflammatory. Praise God, I know once you get over the hump, your psoriasis will subside.

I’m trying to cut the sweetener (monkfruit/stevia) out of my coffee too. I’m with you. This is hard, but I know that when we quit sweets, we become better attuned to sweetness. I did a 5 day water fast once and then ate some steamed broccoli. It tasted so sweet. I’m hoping I can reset my system to that permanently.

Go girl.

Let us know how your journey goes. Just remember go slow. Depending how many carbs you eat, you will need to remove them slowly to avoid the side effects. It's worth it . Good luck.

DeeAnn, I am so sorry! I truly hope you experience real and lasting relief from RA. Arthritis can be so painful and crippling! When I got off all dairy and veggies my arthritis improved rapidly and by 85%. I’m at 95% now. I don’t have RA although my hands and feet were so bad like you I’d sometimes just cry. Best wishes to you for healing!

I hope this change helps you out.. I am so sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing. You can do it!!!

You won't regret it. You will be forced to face your drug addiction called sugar. It's an huge battle for some. One day at an time. Never give up.

My daughter now is carnivore, we eat fat together, but we do not count anything, we consume 3000 to 4000 to 5000 an day. I have lost 40 pounds I will be 52 . I'm to busy to count. Sugar is an on going issue addiction I deal with here and there. Sugar is poison so is commercial meat.

There's no way it can't work. It's just your natural diet. It's not rocket science. We've all been duped into eating garbage our whole lives.

It will

I'm so glad you liked it, Fitz! I love sharing stories like these!

Bitter vegans.

I sincerely hope you get the weight results you want soon, but I also hope you're healing and feeling better in the meantime. I'm glad the video was helpful, Maggie, and I hope things start improving very soon. ❤️

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

That means a lot, Kathy! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to send some encouragement ! I appreciate you!!

Was she not just a breath of fresh air??? I love all of these ladies so much! Thank you for letting me know that it was motivating! :)

🤗 you are just the sweetest! I so loved hearing from the other ladies as well... just incredible what they have accomplished!

All of us should be doing this!! There are no keto/carnivore meetups anywhere near me

@@vr8921 you should start one. There would be none here if I hadn’t started this one. You might not get a lot at first, but you will eventually. Actually I like the smaller crowds because you can focus better and answer questions that those people have. When it gets to be a big crowd it’s hard to answer their questions. It’s something to think about. ♥️

Well heyyy
