I have been told by the nurse at my doctors, welcome to old age. What?!? I was 54 at the time. I had a hard time losing weight on carnivore. I really dug deep to figure out why. I did the sardine challenge last week. I tweaked my diet. Now I am down ten pounds and in ketosis! I eat OMAD. I add 1 drop of iodine in my coffee. I am excited to see the nurse at my doctor's office!! Take that girly!! 😂
Personally, I don't care about losing weight anymore. Threw away my scale. I feel well, energetic and in control: total carnivore zen. And I AM losing fat, which is what matters. Clothes keeps getting loser. More importantly, I AM healing from 25 years of bulimia. Reversed my arthritis too. Numbers on the scale have become meaningless to me.
I'm excited to hear you reversed your arthritis. I'm dealing with arthritis and possible palindromic rheumatism that so far carnivore hasn't helped. But I'm feeling better in every other way, so your comment gives me hope. Thank you for this!
No I think the same thing. I have wanted to stop a couple times but did not. Cause In the end, I always realize that I feel better,, is that crazy or what ? LOL God bless you.
That's one of the things that sold me on this diet. Everyone looks great! If everyone had sunken eyes, funky muscles or blotchy skin etc I'd never have even looked at this as an option.
I've been carnivore for almost 2 years and have started gaining weight; lost ketosis about one year after stopping keto and starting carnivore... just recently found out that I need MCT oil to uncouple my mitochondria and am FINALLY back in ketosis. I was unable to burn the fat, hence, gained fat . . . when I was keto, I ate coconut oil and avocado oil, which have MCTs. That was my major difference, and now, with one tablespoon of MCT oil in my java, I'm on my way!! Hope it helps someone.
@@ipaintkitchencabinets2069 Definitely not true. I am eating exactly the same but I cut out all coconut products and never having been obese, it has affected my mitochondria. I am now eating exactly the same amounts but I’m back in ketosis and have lost the extra 10 pounds.
@@catrinaitaliano8755 Coconut products are high in calories, by removing all coconut products you’ve reduced your calories and have lost 10 pounds. It’s all about calories whether you choose to believe it or not. Facts are facts.
I'm definitely on the side of not staying consistent with eating enough , then eating whatever I can ! Dani has the most epic hair ! The video I needed today...
I gained weight at the beginning of carnivore plus coffee, thought it was the coffee and not prepared to give that up...3 months later, I have lost 6 kg. Definite improvements with mood and memory, happy for no reason, never had that before!
My first 3 days on Carnivore I noticed I had so much energy not just physically but mentally I had a better Outlook I was feeling much better mentally. I too gained weight but that's because I found out my sweetener was full of sugar thanks to the big Agra companies. Also I noticed that my good mood started to disappear. I attributed a lot of that to my anxiety because of things going on in my personal life, but Once I changed all that sugar nonsense I started to feel better again.
Quick reference to summarise advice: "Weight loss happens when the body is healthy & in balance" --> don't guess - test! ;) 1. Reduce carb intake. Cut out all sugar & processed foods, seed/vege oils & gluten 2. Focus on resistance work outs (strength/muscle-building improves our metabolism) over cardio (can create more stress/cortisol/hormone & blood sugar response) walking is a good option 3. Eat nutrient dense foods (ie: animal protein) 4. Get more sleep (blood sugar/cortisol spikes & GI imbalances can wake you up) 5. Go outside, everyday - regardless of the weather (Vitamin D is essential) & socialise with others 6. Keep well-hydrated with electrolytes (headaches, fatigue, nausea, leg cramps can indicate not enough or too much!) 7. Ensure you have enough iodine + fat in your diet 60%
@@micaKTM1290 If the salt is iodized that they are using of course. But not all are. Many just using sea salt etc as seasoning purposes. I mean theres a whole host of actual nutrients an all beef diet is lacking in from fat soluble vitamins to vitamin C.
This was just the thing that I was seeking. I went carnivore last year from May to September 2021, and I didn't lose any weight. I started again this Feb 14, 2022 I lost about 5 lbs the first week, but started to regain the weight although I remained carnivore. I have done hair analysis, blood work, full thyroid panel, intermittent fasting, dry fasting, regular fasting, OMAD, etc. No weight loss and I weigh over 300 lbs! One expert suggested that I eat leaner cuts of meat. I did that. No weight loss. Another told me that I need to not worry about losing weight - I was too much into my head...Another said not to worry. But I weigh over 300 lbs and I need and want to let go of the excess fat and be healthy. I did have gall bladder surgery in Oct 2020, but I can eat meats without a problem. This was a godsend. Thank you, Kelly! I have already emailed Dani to schedule a consultation. Be Blessed!
Have you thought about eating more? I gained weight in the beginning of carnivore eating two pounds a day at 6 months. I listened to the veterans and I increased to 3 lb of fatty me today and quickly dropped 10 lb. My hormones needed to balance before my body was able to lose weight.
I have been 250 lbs and have had the same issue. I can stay on carnivore but still don't lose weight. I eat beef and lamb. I don't trim the fat but I don't add fat either.
I have lipedema and and pcos and keratosis polaris. Well I had them 2.5 years ago when I started carnivore in a fit of desperation. It took me a year to get past a wall where my legs would hurt like hell and refuse to shrink. I lost weight everywhere else. Fought through awful oxalate dumping. My appetite for fat has gone up and down and I finally now feel like I can actually tune into my hunger. I’m about 20lbs behind my “goal” weight and living my life at 35 with more vigor than I did at 15. These videos help me to keep a sense of normalcy to my lifestyle and a community where I can learn from and share with others. Thanks for the content!
I have lipedema too. Are you saying the diet helped with pain? Are you considering liposuction? I don't want to but I'm in so much pain I don't know what else to do! I'm working on diet. I'm 5'7 and 185- so at least 30 lbs overweight.
@@stacywoods9368 I've had painful lipedema since I was very young. I never considered liposuction because it is not a financial possibility. I lost weight with restriction and exercise but it did nothing for my legs. My belly went away though. I gained the weight back in less than a year because I felt I was starving all of the time and binged it back. When I went carnivore, I expected my legs to stay the same size, but they actually started to shrink first! The pain is barely noticeable now 2.5 years later, but that has not been the case the whole time. For the first year, the pain stayed about the same but would always flare right after a big activity day or my period. As my legs got smaller, the pain got more intense for a few months until I started to massage the tissue regularly. Massage hurts but was necessary because it helps relieve the pain. I started taking a warm bath daily and massaging my legs and that prevents the pain all of the time for me now. Lipedema is known to be caused by issues with the lymphatic system, so in hind sight this makes sense. At first, the fat in my legs, hips, butt, and a little bit in my upper arms was hard and rough. It felt like thick dry mud balls under my skin. When it wasn't hurting, it was mostly numb. With time on a strict carnivore diet, it got softer and eventually smoothed out over 90%. I now have minor cellulite on my butt and small patches of lipedema fat on my hips. My legs rarely turn purple/red with swelling anymore. I actually can't remember the last time it hurt and I used to be kept up at night in tears from the pain. Now when I massage my legs in the tub, I can feel the muscles and I'm hopeful that my daily bath with someday soon just be my time to relax instead. I hope you can find a solution for your pain!
This was a great interview by Kelly with Dani! My Zero Carb Life RU-vid channel is the best carnivore channel out there! Keep up the great work, Kelly!
I’m thinking meat is good for hair, after seeing you two. I’m a 3.5 year low carb man , 75 and long haired. I’m so healthy and want to go to the next level and I’m pretty sure carnivore is the way. Just need to learn more, so I’m watching videos and yours are good. Just watched you w/Dr. Berry.
Kelly, really miss your videos. When you create a new one, it's fantastic. This was an informative conversation. Regained 15 pounds due to a stressful move. I forgot how hard it is to lose weight as a type 2 diabetic, still insulin resistant- although not as severe as I was 4 years ago. I consider my journey a peel the onion. I cut sugar, carbs and grains. When I get to a plateau - same weight for more than 2 months, I cut extras like cheese and diet pepsi and all fake sugar substitutes. Most doctors don't understand this way of eating. Change your eating/ lifestyle before medicating. My new doctor discussed putting me on statins before looking at my blood work! My Trig is 74, my hdl is 78, ldl 125! She did not test my insulin as I asked. It's a struggle to get good health care.
I too was diabetic for 15 yrs. I no longer am a diabetic. I never took meds. For three yrs doctors wanted me to take metformin, but I just never did. Come to find out. Metformin can cause wt gain people say.. After doctor appointment, I went to store ,got me rotisserie chicken, veggies, butter, cilantro tomato, oregano,catfish, green beans,, I made soup for six months and started a 4 mile hike on unlevel ground and next thing ya know, doctor said you are not a diabetic no more. That was about 4 yrs ago.. Now I went from that too full plant based, now I am full carnivore over night back on July 25th 2022. Bp was 144/88 P-82 two weeks later 129/78 P-65. I wonder what it is now. The heart doctor said, you need a pace maker about same time. Been 3 yrs since I went there. Doctors can experiment on somebody else.. Everything has smoothed right out,, even after cutting decaf hot tea out.. I do not drink coffee ☕ I was always a heavy tea drinker, now I am happier to not have any tea.,,weird.. God bless you.
Damn, tea or rarely coffee, has been an excuse to drink half n half, now heavy cream. 😢 But I’m realizing that I don’t actually like the taste of tea, even. 🤦♀️ No trouble eating straight butter 😋
I've been carnivore for 2.5 years.... Anyways, I've given up coffee, sweeteners, cheese with meals only. I have found that I only lose weight if I fast on alternative days. I don't overeat or undereat. I did have diabetes for 25 years and am 62. If I fall off the wagon I gain 10 pounds in a couple of days. (I have plenty of weight to lose)
I simply CANNOT eat enough calories! I get full on 1 1/2 burger Pattie’s. I FORCE myself to eat 3 eggs. If I eat when I’m hungry, I can’t fast. Frustrating.
my body weight did not drop a lot in the last three weeks of carnivore. about half a kg per week. but i noticed body composition changing a tiny bit as well. so i guess there is more fat loss but also a bit of muscle growth (the muscles around the chest feel very present somehow. take home message: * the scale shows only weight loss, not fat loss * almost half a kg of weight loss per week is still ok. it adds up over time
Kelly what a great video. I so glad you approached it from all angles, you tell us we don't have to be carnivore and what the biggest things to change for better health - right now. You also addressed some of us more seasoned carnivores too. Even with the excellent health I have now, I'm always looking at ways to improve my well being. You and Dani provided so much great information!
Kelly I wish you had time to do more videos than you currently are doing. You are wonderful AND my favorite carnivore channel. I like your common sense approach along with your bubbly personality. Sure love you!
I have been carnivore for over 3 years now. My health (physical and mental) has improved greatly, but I haven't lost the weight I need to lose. I mostly eat ground beef and pork shoulder steaks, 2+ pounds a day. I lift heavy things at work and walk a couple miles every day. I was already post menopausal when I started. Not sure if that is a factor. I'm happy with my health improvements and don't plan on ever going back, but I really wish my inner health showed on the outside. I think it's time I get some tests done.
Well, can't afford a gym membership to go get on the human size hamster wheels for exercise. Calculated mowing my yard with the push mower. Its a 5 mile walk! So here's the cardio, raking and chopping and picking up the messes? About 100 squats. So I started feeling good enough about 2 weeks ago to take over these chores. I'm already getting where im not panting so hard afterwards. Not bad for a great grandma. (Breaking my arm to pat myself on the back, LOL).
This episode has had some great guidance - Thank you so much. My body went out of whack, post menopause, and nothing has worked. I now know I need to add more meat, more daily calories and more fat (totally the opposite of how I successfully lived my life until menopause, and the opposite of what my GP Dr. has recommended that I do, post menopause).
Loved this conversation, thank you Kelly! I do have an upcoming appt with Dani this winter, and am excited to see how she'll help me with my thyroid autoimmune, and carnivore life.
Re: feeling "waterlogged." I have severe dysautonomia, so my electrolytes are whacky, and I've learned that if I start feeling waterlogged it means I'm low in sodium and potassium. If I drink some water with added salt and cream of tartar, it takes the sloshing in my stomach away (I imagine it changes the osmotic balance, enabling the water that's been in there to go where it needed to go), and often I can drink much more than I'd already gotten waterlogged drinking. Also that's usually my cure for headaches. I've been playing with amounts and frequencies for years now, and hoping that this new carnivore thing will help regulate all this, but if anybody else can use the info I thought I'd throw it out there.
Awww my 2 favorites! What a wealth of knowledge between you two! 👏 This was just what I needed to hear as always! Thanks for always spreading the encouragement and love ❤️
I can’t wait to meet with Dani soon! I have an appointment for a session and like she mentioned, I’ve tried so many things and am trying one last thing before I just say, “it’s life.” I’m 3 years Carnivore, and now having different issues due to post-menopause! Can’t wait for her knowledge to help me. Thanks for sharing this, Kelly!! Kelly, you have been my motivator and shared your wealth of knowledge and experience from the beginning! I love your coaching sessions!
Great info! I remind myself to eat enough all the time because my appetite isn't strong as a carnivore. Must say that you both have such beautiful hair!!!
I am one of those Ketovore's that has been all carnivore for more than a year, then ketovore and now carnivore again and not lost my COVID 20 lbs. for all this time, so frustrated!
Thank you, Kelly, for such informative content. Until today I had never heard of Dani Conway. You do such a great job as an interviewer, you inform as well as entertain. Speaking of entertaining, I especially love your Carnivore News videos!!! Please make more!
Kelly Hogan, I’m not losing like I thought I would. Yet I feel smaller and I feel so good! My waist looks like it’s getting smaller. So I know this is working but the scales not showing much weight lose it’s causing me to wonder why! I will say I can’t eat much! I can’t eat sometimes but one meal. So is my body holding on to weight thinking I’m starving myself. I truly am not hungry much anymore.
My problem,(I think) is that I am post gastric sleeve and it’s really difficult to eat beef to satiety. It’s also hard to wrap my head around eating so much fat. But I’m getting there. It’s definitely a process
I was listening to other keto people on RU-vid, about eating less fat on keto (with the "gotta burn my own fat theory")....I was losing energy. We've been Keto 4 years and want to lose about 20 more pounds. I went back, to eating to satisfied and I'm losing again!!!!!!!!! and my energy is back.
Thank you for the good advice. You had typed that if loosing weight to exclude cheese & heavy cream- 😩 so apparently this has been the cause of my stall. I’ve been having 3 (8oz) coffee with cream & butter and snacking on cheese - thinking this was helping on my fat intake- it’s all so confusing
That much coffee might actually be contributing to your stall. It causes an increase in the stress hormone, cortisol, which makes you store and/or hang onto fat.
Thank you, it gets so confusing when I see others drinking coffee all day (dr Cywes) I never drank coffee (and learned to drink it with cream, butter & salt) until becoming keto then switched to carnivore. what about crystal light? Or would you suggest water only ?
@@Kimabsher I know it can get confusing sometimes. It takes some trial and error to figure out what works for your body. Don’t beat yourself up for it; you are learning along the way. ❤️ I would definitely cut out the coffee if you’re not attached to it. Often times, you’re getting enough fat from the food, so there’s no need to drink your fat in coffee. For beverages, many carnivores enjoy a flavored electrolyte drink (like Redmond Relyte or Ultima) or sparkling water. I hope this helps, and you are able to figure out what works for you. 😊
@@Kimabsher coffee but.little cream and bitter isnt neesed unless youre starving. if the goal is weight loss, eat real food and no need to pile on. you want 50% of the fat you use to come from the body instead of from added fat. i found eating a fatty meat to fill half or 2/3 plate and the veggies with a small amount of lard or butter and try water and salt only between meals. extra fat is a tool/crutch when between meals to keep you i ketosis instead of cheating or feeling "starving". dairy is dangerous. I limited coffee to 2 cups a day with whipping cream and cheese with meals to get the snack mentality out if my system. you can do this and remember how you feel. take care
This is challenging to navigate partly because of programming and the other is being willing to experiment. I did strict carnivore for 12 days, didn't loose a pound. The wonderful outcome has been getting off of processed foods and carbs. I feel great. Thanks for the video.
I find it very hard to wrap my head around "eat more" when I come from a history of roller coaster dieting. I'm trying to eat until I'm "comfortably stuffed", but when I hear how much others are eating compared to me, I think I should be eating more and increasing my fat intake, but another part of me is telling me to eat less and portion control! I lost weight on keto, but gained 4lbs back over the winter (to many keto snacks), wanted to shed them doing the carnivore challenge in January , ended up gaining an additional 5lbs instead. I feel frustrated. Doing a bbb&e challenge right now with a 6 hour eating window. (day 4, and yes gained weight already 😞)
Thank you! I have been Ketovore for a couple months now! I started, not to loose weight (although I need to), but because I have Epilepsy. I have not lost any weight, but I am horrible at eating too much or not eating enough! I think my hunger signal is broken too! I cannot find a good balance! I don't drink enough water either!
I have been using the cronometer ap to calculate fat for the 80/20 ratio but a side benefit is it also gives my % of daily calories for each meal. As I plan my next meal, its very easy to add/delete foods to achieve the desired calories and fat/protein ratio.
Loved this interview, just started dairy free carnivore, because dairy causes me arthritic pain. Great info and will be just trying to focus on healing and feeling better first. I definitely know I need some healing first. I have been ketovore for awhile and it's just not doing what I need. I am having headaches and fatigue even after being mostly carnivore so hoping I'll see lots of changes. Thank YOU for these great interviews and the precise and perfect questions.
I lost weight slowly over 2 as I was carnivore (30 lbs) Healing had to happen first. The only issues I had were getting sick often.. colds pretty frequently.. that may have been tied to not eating enough varied in my meat based diet. I’m working with a natural path to address that though nutrient testing and adjusting :) great show! Keep up the good work, N=1
Well, this is cool! I just looked and apparently Dani and I are just a few miles apart! I’m in Roseville and will be looking into talking with her. Thanks Kelly for this interview!
Great information. I love that I am constantly learning what works for me, and getting the tools and info to find out what works and does not work for me.
I jumped on this carnivore train 5 days ago. Getting on this way of eating I came from keto. Love the weight lose but my main concern is psoriasis on soles of feet and palms of hands. I see a small degree of healing 5 days in. Going for my yearly blood work in one week and physical early September. My dr will probably die when I tell her I’m on a carnivore diet. But I won’t be swayed, as she’s overweight and her assistant nurse is extremely obese! I just don’t get it! My main ?… what tests should I ask for besides the ones my dr will generally do? I’m going to ask for Vitamin D level.. for sure! Getting out in the sun.. Is a huge factor for me! I feel good, already I’m not craving anything.. which is mind blowing! Thank you both! A response would be greatly appreciated!
Great interview!❤️❤️❤️ NTP’s are a great resource for not only losing weight but gaining better health. I’ve been seeing one for a little over 3 years and it’s been worth every penny.
So I just did some labs with my doctor a week ago he said don’t get any vitamin D your good there. It’s in the “normal good” range (according to them) then I listened to this and a good amount is 80-100 so naturally I went and checked my test results again… it’s 55. Maybe I will get some more!
Also think about the fact that it's not a static number. Your numbers might be great today but if you stop taking the supplement it might go back down. MOST people who don't live like a native tropical person are deficient in D3-K2, or if you have a weak immune sytem, I would keep taking at least a maintenance level. Depends on age too.
Thank you Kelly and Dani for your informative video. You are becoming my go to though I check the other Carnivore influencers. Your webcast guests that stressed that some are under eating yesterday. Two changes I have made: Since I am new to Carnivore (6 weeks so far), that it I need to eat more and increase my fat. I have lost a lot of water and probably a few fat pounds. I don't weigh myself or I will get crazy obsessive. I have test clothing I use that I could not get over my thighs in the beginning of my carnivore journey. I can get them over my thighs and butt and zip up - new shorts, one skinny shorts fit comfortably. Second change is, I am eating 80/20 fat/protein as close as possible and intermittent fasting from 4 to 8 hour eating window give or take - I have always naturally have eaten this way even when I did not know about intermittent fasting. I feel grateful for the anecdotal info that is practically helpful. You women are angels!
Please do a day in your life, may be simple for you, but it would be so helpful- how much/what you do for working out, you drink coffee? How do you order at restaurants?
I stopped sugar and was eating clean and losing steadily but when I added sugar back to my morning coffee, even with changing nothing else, I stopped losing. Clearly I can't have sugar/carbs. Maybe someday if I stop being insulin resistant I could have some and be ok but I clearly can't get there by allowing any sugar or carbs.
I'm hovering around 89.7 and 91.3 but I'm losing only fats and gaining muscles without exercise, the scale does not know what I lost, use the mirror to understand what's going on in your body 😊
Kelly you are so funny! I thought the drinking pizza comment was on purpose LOLOLOLOL! I am also stalling but all the comment about weekend carb eating struck me. I may sneak a Hershey's Kiss in, just one! a week! EEEK!! Sabotage! OK consistency is key, stop STOP STOP sneaking a couple sugar carbs! I am losing weight but at a snail's pace. I just need to forbid it consistently! Thanks for the encouragement!
Needed this been doubting myself but only at 74 days full carnivore.. going to cut the cheese and great point was made about gout and processed meat.. I have definitely found that. Start carnivore while have a gout attack as a test to prove most gout advise wrong, instead keeping inflammation down..
What about us that can't walk yet ( I can stand up for about 2 ,3 or 4 minutes. With my walker I can get to the truck. But my knees cartilage is gone & my bones are not all there anymore. ) my husband and I are on day 8.he lost 5 lbs I only lost 1/2 lbs. But my blood sugar is better. And he is still able to work. Thanks and GOD BLESS
WOW...sound was much better on this video!! 👍 And what a great video!!!💞. One of the best videos I watched on nutrition... Going binge watch all your videos✌️ Thank you.
This is absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for sharing with the world about what an incredible resource Dani is!!! I learned so much in this interview! I adore you both! 🥰🥰🥰
ok this is a huge eye opener for me. I have been eating 900 to 1000 calories a day. under 10 carbs. Carbs coming from eggs and cheese. been actually gaining weight on that low of calories. Tomorrow I am going to make changes. See how it goes. Been eating this way for about 8 years.
@@christinearmington Well I went to eating more straight meat less cheese. I have lost about 10 of the 20 pounds i gained but it is painfully slow. Maybe partly because I am 73 years old. I am active. Being winter and for here a mild snow year i have not been as active. Even so I have a house full of plants 5 cats and a dog to care for. hoping summer yard work time will speed up my weight loss. BUT on the good side of the weight gain my face filled out a little bit helping me to look a little less wrinkled.
It's true... I forget that "that's all I eat"! and, indeed, I eat too little (1400 calories per day, 20% protein + 80% fat) . But I have difficulty eating (swallowing) more... even without looking at the macros: at the end of the day, if I count, I ate the same. 😕
13 months into Lion Diet and still plateaued for months, still constipation issues, the only things that seem to work are very high beef fat and lower amount of beef, which just gives me stomach issues, insomnia and depression. 😖
Check out Elliot Overton’s channel. He specializes in helping keto/carnivores who are not achieving healing by eating meat alone. He did a video with 4 case studies, and one of his patients was experiencing severe constipation and gut pain after quite some time on carnivore. He was able to resolve the problem for the patient with some supplementation. Here’s the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kAGCyW4GBuU.html Wishing you all the best! 🙏
I am that person who has been carnivore/ketovore for 2 years and is still holding on to all the weight I thought I'd lose, my husband also, it's so very frustrating.
@@MaryLovesLex Me, absolutely, I have type 1 diabetes plus hypothyroidism. Hubby, no meds...but I am now learning he's been frequently eating off plan.
I am a newbie. Just began yesterday. I have an issue leaving behind ketchup and sauce for pulled pork and a bit of honey for am tea or coffee. The sauce for the pork does have sugar in it, however, I only use a minute amount. I dont enjoy things "saucy" anyway. And Yes, I have the gum addiction....but the gum with zyletol. I have a customer service type of job and I chew gum to keep from saying WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY.....
Former Vegan here. I’m menopausal and surprise, I gained so much weight and have been unable to loose it for years. Eating carnivore is about the most counterintuitive thing I’ve had to force my mind around. It’s only been a month. I’ve made some mistakes so I haven’t lost as much weight as I would’ve liked. But, wow, I didn’t think I could ever feel this light, as far as my digestion is concerned. I’m stronger, walking more and I’m ready to take it to the next level. My mistakes were leaning on dairy a little too much and…drum roll….I actually thought maple syrup was ok. I was using it to sweeten my coffee in the morning. Then I read the label…duh and saw how many carbs are in just two tablespoons! I don’t have a gallbladder, so I’ve been slowly increasing my butter intake. Having a big chunk of meat is also something I’m not too great with yet, so I’m leaning on the grass fed ground beef. I added some liver supplements too. I got rid of most veg, but do enjoy red cabbage with green apple, lemon dressing only. I think I need a little something like this still. But if removing the maple and most dairy doesn’t work, that will go too! I’m using dairy mostly as a condiment, one tablespoon of full fat cottage cheese or cream cheese with scrambled eggs max. I’m in this thing for good though, so I know it’s just a matter of time before I reach my goals. Even at this level, one month in, I’ve lost an inch in my hips. Had some complications with my ear, could be oxalate dumping or severe allergies. Not too worried about that. Just a bump in the road. I’m so grateful for the information because at fifty six years old, I’ve literally struggled for my entire life! I feel empowered and excited at the prospect of regaining my metabolic health. 🙌🏼 🙏🏼
I need to eat more! I did OMAD for months. It made me feel stressed... Now I stoped coffee, I drink water, eat 3 times a day, add more far in and bring variety in. I want to strenghten myself, my muscles, also. Thank you for the advice! I don't get along without electrolytes... Not yet. I think this will change when I will be carni. for many months. I am just 37 days back on the wagon.
Ive been carnivore for 7 months, in first two i lost all my fat and my trousers started to be loose again ( im nit obese never was, but I trnd to have ups and downs and with short statue, every 2kg shows). But then... I stopped losing and started to gain back that abdominal fat... I know now that its due to the change in my lifestyle,from active plus working out everyday, to sedentary and eating the same 🤦🏻♀️, its narch now and ill be active again, hope itl all go again easy
I found once I got rid of seed oils and looked for hidden sugars and additives. The goal is to feel better; your fat will melt away over time. I look at it in terms of how I think; if I feel bad, I have done something that will stop feeling good. I also fast because, frankly, if I could fast all the time, I feel so much better. And this complies significantly with how many families lived in history. Some of how you believe we live is based on our genetic history, the historical genetic code based on the father. This code is like pre-programming on your body, and in my family, they where farmers for 700 years in Norway, and that means living in pretty sparse conditions, working hard and eating not high on the lamb. Often, they miss meals, and that pre-programming is what I am working with, so I think fasting does so well for me. When I went to Norway, there was something different about the food; I dropped weight and felt amazing. But then an average breakfast is high in fat if they happen to eat it. And you do not need a lot of fat to keep you the day or the next couple of days.
Thank you for sharing about the weight. I started about 3 1/2 months. Started weight lifting at home. And I’ve actually gained weight. I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been. Though my auto immune symptoms are gone.. my menopausal symptoms have gone. This weight gain has been hard. I was also a vegan for 37 years so there’s that! Oh I really do NEED testing done. I would really love to get some tests and guidance with Dannie. How can I reach her? I feel like I need all these tests and I’m ready to move forward and figure out what’s goin on inside!
I have been getting a little discouraged with this Keto carnivore diet too. I'm not losing like I should. I so needed this advice today! Before I have up!💕 love your channel Kelly!
The longer I'm carnivore, now 272 days in, I cannot eat a pound of meat because I get full before I get there. I'm OMAD, 23-1 IF eat right at sunrise and I'm at a 2 month stall. Not eating low fat, mostly steak ZERO carbs. Frustrating.
I’ve been carnivore for 4 years. I can’t get that last ten pounds of belly fat to go. Went on the TDEE website and found I am over eating. So there goes your “most people aren’t eating enough” theory. I eat between 2,500 - 3,000 calories a day. I do no dairy, no sweeteners, I lift weights 3-5 times a week, mountain bike weekly, even quit caffeine 3 weeks ago. So according to that website, I should be eating more like 1,800 calories a day. Certainly not what most Zero carbers on ZIOH would say. I am so frustrated I’m at my wit’s end. I feel great, I just don’t think I should have to put up with being pudgy. By the way-I’m strict, too. I NEVER cheat. Not at holidays, my birthday, EVER. And I’m still pudgy.
After a recent hospital stay they put me on thyroid meds. Now I can't lose weight and my blood sugar is going in the wrong direction. The thyroid meds are the only thing that changed so this video explained a lot.
This was so helpful thank you. I saved Dani's info in case I need her in the future. I am also in a new place, don't know anyone or any doctor who agrees with what I believe.
