Your body is in a healing phase. I have been in a stall since Oct 2022, but I’ve had many non scale victories, like off most meds. It’s a mental thing, go back to your “WHY”. And now it’s time to move our bodies. (Me included) Nice meeting you😊
Love your tongue in cheek humour. Happy to help and have subscribed. I am 78 and been on OMAD for ages. Feel 50. don't have a doctor and at 5 feet 6 inches weigh 9 stone. I used to weigh seventeen stone a long time ago. never put any weight on since i lost it. there is somethng you are doindg which you may not realise. Dairy? when you reach a plateau it is always dairy! Drinking too much of the wrong things? change your food (and still be carnivore), fish, and poultry and eggs. Give your system a jolt. h Have your one meal at mid-day..... Not so long to wait, if you are hungry in the morning, and not so long to last before you go to bed; and,... you can't eat pork scratchings if you don't have any, can you? After all, nothing tastes as good as feeling thin. look forward to seeing you next week. Vee x
@@babavee100 Lol, yes, I have no scratchings with me at work now. I'm terrible with dairy, so that's almost always a hard no. I'm going to stick with eating late, as I'm a dreadful late evening stacker. If I ate midday, I'd be in trouble. You have inspired me. Thank you for commenting and subscribing. I really appreciate it ❤️
@@carnivorecampers Adding iodine (15 mg 1x of Lugol's solution) Selenium (200 mcg, 1x SCMC) and 10-25k IU of vitamin D3 till I reached, a blood level of 80 ng (which would be 200 nmols if in the IK or EU) helped me drop over 60lbs, with no other effort (besides light exercise, which I had been doing all along.) No special diet, just a sensible healthy one.
@paulclark4147 yes, it's certainly a long haul for some. I'm definitely sticking at it. Just heading my stomach mostly. Some days I can barely eat a few mouthfuls, other I eat loads. I'm not forcing food into me to get the right amount of protein every day. That doesn't work for me. I think it can work for the majority, just eating meat every day and magical things happy. However, for some of us, we have to experiment and find our own way ❤️
Your story is 100% relatable to me - all of the guilt in thinking about eating the wrong things, then eating them, them feeling more disappointed etc ... I have to constantly remind myself of the benefits I've achieved from the carnivore diet...it's easy to forget just how bad it was before I started it. Keep up with it and looking forward to following along in your journey!
You should watch some of Kelly Hogan's videos. I believe this one talks about knowing how much you should be eating on Carnivore (you may be eating too little or too much) and how to figure that out. Don't give up!
I’m 61 & have been on carnivore for 19 months. Lost 45 lbs, met my goal 6 months ago. You have to eat more fat, less protein. I ate 80% of my calories from fat, 20% from protein the first 10 months while I was healing my body of fibromyalgia & a host of other things. Dropped to 70/30 for 6 months, now I’m sticking with about 65/35 with a few strawberries & avocado. I HAD to give up all dairy except butter. Dairy makes me inflamed & I gain weight. I eat 1 gram of protein for each lb of ideal body weight. Hang in there, nothing tastes as good as I feel!!
@@ASouthernLadyinAppalachia this is what I'm confused about. There are experts on UA-cam who say that menopausal women should have less fat. I think I should try a month of each to see if there's a difference ❤️
@@carnivorecampers No such thing as a youtube expert, if you are not losing weight you are eating too many calories, weight your food, track it with an app, set how many calories you are eating, eat less in whatever kind of diet you want, and you'll lose weight after some time, some exercise will help you, don't follow gurus, just follow actual science.
I stalled on carnivore for a year. After an epic sugar binge Easter season of 2023, I had ballooned up 20 lbs to 360. I lost 70 on keto a few years ago and wasn't having issues with holiday candy, but put it all back on plus 20 that Easter. Loved the idea of carnivore but it took me a couple months of research before I took on the 30 day elimination challenge. Dropped 60 lbs in 2 months and then proceeded to slack off and have a few treats, kept drinking 2 liters of Diet Coke a day, cheese, cashews, then the chocolate bars came back in and by the end of the 2024 Easter season I'd gained 10. Jumped on BBB&E carnivore the middle of June. Quit all beverages except plain water and have stayed strong, which has netted me a 28 lb loss in 8 weeks. I've broken the 300 plateau (290ish for a couple of weeks now), where I spent a lot of years managing not to exceed 300. As you may know your body will have trouble breaking through previous set weights. My next big set weight is at 285 and then 250. I need hip and back surgery and need to get down to 240 before the surgeon will operate, so I'm motivated. Walking with 2 canes or a rollator. On nonstop Tylenol and Advil. I'm rooting for you. As Dr. Berry and many carnivores have said; doing 95% carnivore may not be enough, especially if you're stalled. Go for the 100% for 30 days and see how it goes. Liked and subscribed. Cheers from the B.C. Rockies Canada.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with me! You've had a tough time! We've got this. We can and will do it! PS. I blooming love Canada! I hope to visit one day ❤️
@@carnivorecampers me too! I’ve learned that the hard way. But now that I know, I do my best to eat the foods that keep me satiated and help me lose weight. I’ve learned much a long the way as have you. You’ve got this!!
Sweet lady, I am right there with you! I’ve gained 15lbs since April. I did join a gym and I now do CrossFit 2 to 3 times per week, which is absolutely ridiculous, hard and hateful. I’d do it more often but I’m just so darned sore. But my strength and balance are improving so I’m sticking with it. I enjoy escaping the reality of the world more often than I should with a margarita. One terrible vice. I like heavy cream on my coffee. Another vice. I don’t have maladies so I simply have two goals: being thin and warding off future illness. I went strict carnivore in March of 2022 and zip! 30lbs gone so quickly. I then discovered heavy cream in my coffee and my weight loss stopped. Like you, I know what I need to do and I need accountability. It’s hard to find it inside the family and local community, that’s for sure. I’ve got to want it more than I want a nice gentle buzz that makes the insanity of the world not matter. I’ve got to want it more than my morning Joe. It’s hard though when you feel like, ‘darn it, I’ve earned these small pleasures! I work hard and eat clean 98% of the time dammit!’ But at our menopausal age, apparently there is no wiggle room. We’re either fat and “happy “ or think and militaristic. Which will I choose? Hmmm. Good on you though! You rock and you’ll get back at it, I just know it!!
Lots to wiggle but no room to do it! Yup, we can't mess about when the Menopause Bitch has a hold of us. For me, anyway, it's strict or I'm done for. Sounds like you too. When I'm on track, and I feel like having something not on the list, I just keep telling myself... IT IS NOT A TREAT! It's a trick!!! I hope that you manage to reach your goal ❤
I agree with you that the margarita and heavy cream contribute to our mental well-being, for me especially after a hot day working on the ranch (all on foot-great exercise!) and that delicious coffee to pry the eyes open at sunrise. This does slow down the weight loss. For me it is okay. Because most of my food is steak and salt, and a lot of water. I lose pounds quickly and gain very loose ugly hanging skin this way. But I feel great, and find that couple of creamed cups of "Joe" help me very much. We are all individuals and just need to remember to enjoy the benefits of carnivore eating and be thankful for the blessings we gain from it. For me I only have to remember how it felt before I started eating right, to keep me on track. My dogs are all carnivore, too, by the way. Fit shape and glossy coats on burger and raw home - raised eggs, and all the grasses and lambs quarters to nibble on if they want.
Fellow carnivorian living it up in cow country Montana here. This video came into my feed. I have subscribed and am sharing it with others who also eat well, and are getting well doing our versions of carnivore eating. Some people just do hang onto the extra pounds for a long while. I lose too quickly, myself. Then modify how I eat to allow the skin time to shrink down also. It's not fun to have wrinkly hanging skin getting in your way, and scary to look at, too! Been carnivore for nearly three years now, and couldn't be happier. I look forward to your future posts. You are doing amazingly well, in my opinion!
Keep at it! You’ll figure it out. Not everything works the same for everyone. I did well and then got away from carnivore last year but I’m back. Cheering you on!!!
Ziggy you're looking great. You sound like you have a plan. Remember that Carnivore builds muscle and increases bone density so sometimes the tape measure tells a truer story than the scale. I dropped to 13st10lbs in December but have gone back up to 14st7lbs without adding to my waist line so I'm not concerned. Trust the process. Somebody else has flagged up Kelly Hogan and I think she's the specialist for your case. She's been Carnivore for 15 years and has experienced plateaus and fluctuations. I'll send you the ones that talk about weight. Lainy and I are just down the road and continuing to support you both ❤
Love your video and have subscribed. I started BBBE in June 2023 after finding Dr. Berry’s videos and have lost 50 lbs but like you am stuck at this point. But I do have fruit and a few other things, and I know that’s probably what’s keeping my weight on. But, I stick to no sugar or carbs (low carbs) and no processed foods and I know my gut is still healing. I walk a mile 4-5 x a week and do some exercise videos a few times a week. I feel so much better than before I started so I trust the process. I was prediabetic, had joint aches and pains (was heading towards knee replacement), fatigue, headaches and heartburn. Most all healed now. Just turned 58 and feel better than I have in the last 20 years. Seeing videos like yours helps keep me on track and inspired…thank you!
The photos say it all! Good job! I'll be 70 in a couple of weeks. I've been carnivore for 5 months and have only lost 20 pounds. Weight loss is definitely harder at this age, but I'm not quitting. I've had a few indiscretions, but stick to it for the most part. The hardest part was going on a 7 day Alaskan cruise 3 weeks ago! I wasn't horribly bad though. Onward and upward!
It is great to hear you are not giving up. My journey on the carnivore diet took 9 months to lose 70 lbs, BP normal in 2 months of starting, off meds for gerd and BP. I have been maintaining it now. I did have to reassure doctors about my cholesterol with a cac test of 0 to keep them from giving me a statin. This was because I was higher, and the doctors wanted to do a statin, and I said, "No." Recently changed from using butter to beef tallow and occasionally do off carnivore, but use it meat the most as it gave me energy and my life back. I hope this encourages you and others to not give up! You can do it!
Omg I'm in the same boat - last when I started carnivore I'd lost 50 pounds without even trying, this year I've put on 10 this last few months , because I wasn't eating enough , I listened to beef & butter gal and started eating a lot more because I'm weightlifting 3 days a week . I'm bloated as all get out , but I still have some bad habits I'm working on. I'm taking accountability for my mistakes and checking myself daily to make sure I stay on track...
chin up! you are doing great! I'm the same...a menopausal lady, you may need to eat more not less. eat enough so snacks are not required. i also started taking a beef organ supplement because i do not like organ foods, this has helped clear up a couple deficiencies... hope this helps!
I've gained weight with the carnivore diet, but I feel so much better, carnivore helped to heal. Now I am doing a low carb/keto approach. Don't focus so much on the scale, what matters is your health
The weight WILL come off eventually after all the inside healing is done. And we both stay consistent on Carnivore or mostly meat based! I hear 👂 you dear Lady! I am waiting too but we gotta stay the course 100%. Accountability is a good thing!
At least you’ve lost something. I gained 30 pounds when I entered menopause 3 years ago and I’ve not lost a single pound. I was already keto/low carb before and as a health coach I’ve tried everything I know of to get this stubborn fat off and it will not budge. I started carnivore over 5 months ago and have stuck to it pretty faithfully, but I still haven’t lost a thing. Like you, I feel better blah blah blah, but I’m tired of feeling heavy. I won’t give up because I’m stubborn, but I’m really pissed off that I can’t get rid of the blubber.
@BluebonnetShelley aw, bless you! Subscribe to Coach Stephen. He does live broadcasts every week and you can him and his pals what you should do. He also offers private consultations. He's very good ❤️
Your video could have been made by me until I moved to Ketogenic Diet. In 17 weeks I lost 2.36 stones/ 33 Pounds/ 15 kgs. I keep under 20g of Carbohydrate per day. I Eat 3 meals/day and only walk my dog for exercise. I think Carnivore isn’t the holy grail as we are meant to believe. I was putting on weight instead loosing and I was constantly thinking about food. I’m 54 and menopausal. Now I weigh 10.55 stone/147 Pounds/67kgs and my height is 5’8/173. Not sure if that’s helpful.
It's lovely of you to comment. If you watch my subsequent videos, you'll see that carnivore is actually working for me. My problem was going off plan. So happy for your weight-loss, well done! 😍
The weight training will definitely help as we lose 1% of muscle mass per year after the age of 40. If your body doesn’t take in enough protein, it will break down lean tissue to get what it needs. However, if you are on a carnivore diet hopefully you will be getting enough protein for your requirements, so it sounds as though you don’t have enough muscle to help with fat burning and not in a calorie deficit. For the weight training, I suggest 2x a week upper body, 1x a week lower body and 1x a week full body and one HIIT/Tabata session. The Tabata sessions will give the body stress, as all exercise does, but the upside is that it will manage the stress in the body the rest of the time. (Inflammation is a big problem in our older bodies with menopause.) Fit in two sessions of yoga on separate days in between the weight training to help with stretching out the muscles and these two days act as ‘rest days” for the body. We take longer to recover from exercise as we get older. Finally, try to walk for an hour a day. This is a stress reliever and will help lower cortisol levels in the body, help with sleep (poor sleep can inhibit weight loss), and help with fat burning. Yes, it’s a lot of exercise to fit in, but needed to help with metabolism. If you plan all this into your week, you should see results. I am not on a carnivore diet, but on the same journey of weight loss in my late fifties. It’s a long hard road.
If you walk every day at least 30 minutes it is ssssuuppppeerrr helpful. I think that walking along with building muscle by lifting dumbbells at home is the best thing you can do. I know you can do it with your great outlook on life!
Liked and subscribed. OMAD is the way to go if weight loss is your goal. Start of with a 48-72 hr fast and then try OMAD from there. It's how I start when I have been "off piste" for a few days like last Christmas. Good luck and carry on being brave ❤
@@carnivorecampers Dr. Jason Fung tells his patients that multi-day fasting should be followed by "feasting" days of 2-3 meals, not just back to OMAD immediately. He also does not recommend OMAD for long time periods. He says the body interprets that as calorie restriction and lowers metabolism in response. I know OMAD is widely recommended and I don't know how to reconcile that. Maybe trial and error to see what works for your body.
You answered your question beginning at the 2:25 mark. Especially the sugar free jelly; the artificial sweeteners are actually way worse than white sugar in every way, especially in that since the body doesn't know what to do with it, it stores it as fat by default. You need to follow the BBBE plan exactly with no substitutes for at least 90 days to clean out your system and you will un-stall your progress and lose the remaining weight you want to. Drink nothing but water and use Ultima brand electrolyte drink mix to both give you some flavor if that's important to you and help you get through the "keto flu" phase.
My son got stuck as well. Combination of fasting and OMAD got him over it PLUS...He was in the gym doing only cardio. I got him lifting light-medium weights and...NOT STUCK AMYMORE! The weight loss just needed some stimulation other than the "regular."
I highly recommend doing 32h water fast once a week :) It's a game changer on carnivore, when you hitted platou. Not only it will boost your metabolism, but also it will reset your gut microbiome, and help with accelerating healing :) For me it did wonders!
@@carnivorecampers be cautious about OMAD, 32h fast is way easier to do. OMAD can lead to binge eating, and sometimes to under eating. Observe your body and how you react :) Lots of love! I believe you will figure out what works for you and achieve your goals!
@adria_de I'm OK on OMAD, I did it for 3 months without any problems. It all went tits up when we went away for a week. All meals included. We are going to the same place again in September, but I shall not be partaking of the extras. Also, I won't be 'going down for breakfast. I'll just have whatever meat is on offer in the evening and take my own cold food to keep my intake correct ❤️
@@carnivorecampers Awww, go down for breakfast! Just control yourself and have only the eggs, and some meat. Ignore the Belgian waffles, scones, biscuits, and jellies, etc. I know you can do it. JUST think first and eat intentionally. Ask people around you to smack you if you make a wrong move toward your mouth, HA! Have a great September thing, and good luck.
I'm 70 years old and have been in menopause for over 20 years. I started Carnivore March 2nd and have lost 25lb. I am not a strict Carnivore, I eat low glycemic vegetables that I grew myself. I'm happy with my progress. I feel better. I have at least 30 more pounds to lose, but I'm being patient.
My one menopause symptom was insomnia. That caused my cortisol, insulin and glucose to spike and I too gained weight and it was mostly around my waist. I did not change a single thing I was eating at all. One day I’m losing weight then the next day I’m gaining 😢 I’m getting my sleep back or trying and losing weight again.
You’ve done awesome and you can do this!! Kick up the exercise :) even a mile a day will make a difference! jog a few seconds if you can in between to get the hit training and build on it …I’m 55 and learning to run …it’s amazing 🤩 carnivore has changed my life … lost 50 and 20 to go :) yes accountability ❤ best of luck!!
Try fasting for 24 hours, eating more fat, intermittent fasting, give up dairy and cheese for awhile. You may be more sensitive to the keto "allowed' foods. Try "Lion Diet" for 30 days and exercise 3 days weeks for 20-30 minutes per session. Keep a food diary and keep track of your weight when you go off plan to pinpoint the foods that are stalling your weight loss goal.
You may be eating a little too much protein and a little too little fat. Make sure you are taking a bio identical hormone supplement. The loss of estrogen and progesterone really affect weight gain, muscle loss and loss of elasticity in face, neck and breasts. Keep eating healthy and hang in there! Remember always…….love yourself where you are at. I am exactly where you are.
Too much protein turns into glucose which stores fat. I'm 6 years into menopause and lost 42 pounds. Kept it all off for 3 years. Intermittent fasting and omad as a lifestyle. You have to eat 60% fat (butter) and 40% protein(meat). Hope that helps.
That is blatantly false misinformation. Do not eat 60% of your diet as butter. Meat that has 20% fat contains roughly 70% fat as energy. It has the perfect default macros that you can adjust from there on.
Way better is meat fat. Not too mich Butter either. What is kind of carnivore diet you eat? Which meats? Butter 4 example have to be real Butter, Not butter mixed with seed oils. What do you drink? Just plain water is best. Try to cut coffee-> cause coffee beans are plants. Dont eat too much diery products, some peps cannot stand too much diery. And at least they have to be full fat, best raw. Maybe you have too much bacon/Pork. Do not use seed oils to cook the meat, just butter better meat fat. Look carefully and try maybe just lion diet => red meats, Salt, water. Maybe you cant stand too much eggs.
Mainly beef. One cup of black decaf tea in the morning. Water the rest of the day. Bacon once a week with eggs and sausages (nothing but pork). Lots of omelettes. No dairy. That's what I'm doing now. As you can see from the video, I went quite off piste for a while ❤ Absolutely NO seed oils.
This is wrong actually. I've been stalled for about 3 years now and I've literally only just realised, after my son said to me "why don't you just do what you did before" that losing fat on carnivore is about your energy in. If you eat loads of energy - fat, your body will not use its own fat as energy. What we need to do is while we have some fat to shed, is stop adding extra fat. Just eat the meat with its own fat and that's it. If you want to go a step further, eat lean protein only for a few days and for a few days off, eat your regular diet with animal fat. The weight will come off. Just make sure you're getting in at least 1g per lb of protein that is equally to your ideal weight for your height. Then when you get to your ideal weight, adjust the fat levels to maintenance.
I started keto 5 and a half years ago. Dabbled with carnivore then switched. I'm 60lbs up! No one can explain it. I've tried every tweak and iteration you can think of.
I have seen the explanation that higher amounts of protein will raise blood glucose and insulin. A diabetic using insulin has to use half as much for protein as they do for carbs, so not nothing, while fats require very little. This is from videos recommending very high fat carnivore or keto. Hope you find some answers.
I know it is really hard to stick with eating the same thing every day. What I try to do is liven it up with different spices. Where I used to eat ketchup on eggs which isn't good because of the sugar, now I can add mustard on my scrambled eggs, or I can put on different spices and I'm currently using a curry powder spice to help add taste. I'm also trying to only eat once per day.
I can help, and explain. To zero in on specific goal, to keep progressing/losing fat, at some point, it come down to details. So calories of fat/meat etc consumed daily. This is not what we want to hear, but it is fact. Weighing food for awhile, really can help here, as not only do you only consume what your REQUIRE, but you also build a relationship with accurate visual portions and still feeling satiated. Now, I have questions: - how long of walks, time and distance, do you go for each day? Just one? - how brisk(fast) is it, are there any hills? - when you say fasting, do you mean drinking water, or not, as dry fasting burns up 3 times more fat. - how often are you consuming dairy or sugar free sweeteners?
I don't do many walks and when I do, they are sedentary. Yes, I drink water when I fast. I'm not going to fast without water. No dairy, no sugar free sweeteners ❤
@@carnivorecampers Okay, so while weight training is good for strength, it does not use fat calories, it uses glycogen/glucose(anaerobic) calories. So while it will maintain lean mass, which does help burn more calories. Its not going to make you leaner, unless you start measuring calories of meat/fat. Cardio exercise(is aerobic) on the other hand, so it does use fat for energy, so walking, an Elliptical Trainer, or a Recumbent bike in front of the TV are also really worth considering. Swimming is also excellent, as it is a no impact exercise that is more fun for some. Energy after exercise increases after cardio too. You had mentioned eating jello and a few other things is why I asked about sugar free sweeteners, while they do not store fat(like glucose does), they do prevent us from using fat for energy. Hope this helps.
I have been there too. Check out Jason Fung's video on UA-cam, "Practical Fasting". When you eat your body stores what you cannot burn at that time as fat. As the day goes on your body pulls that fat out of storage to burn as energy. If you eat more meat, fat, etc. than your body can burn you will end out gaining weight. Best wishes
I am dealing with the same problem. I did lose 20 pounds, not sure what that is in stones, by eating more fat and cutting back on protein. I have butter and lard in my coffee, at lunch I have beef and a croissant with loads of butter. A few hours before bed I have another few bites of butter with salt. Some days I’d eat egg yolks with some beef and butter. High fat is good for our hormones in menopause. Needless to say, when I started eating the extra fat, each morning I measured and I’d lose a pound. It was unbelievable til I saw it! I recommend trying it. Oh and I haven’t exercised in the 4 years I’ve been carnivore. I do chores and have a regular job but it’s not rigorous. That all the physical activity I have.
Best of luck to you!!! Actually, it's not luck, and you already know that. Congratulations on your success so far, and I'm sure that if you stick to the battle plan, you'll win the war.
and shift your meals to earlier in the day. Get a CGM to see if there's any clues. It still comes down to excess insulin stores fat and prevents burning fat.
I'm going to build up to a 3 day fast. Let me get a couple of weeks of OMAD out the first. Then a couple of weeks on 36hr fast... then I'm all in on the three days ❤
I’ve heard that no matter what diet you’re doing, keto, carnivore, etc, losing weight is still a matter of calories in, calories out. And you won’t lose weight until you have a calorie deficit.
Yes, everyone has heard that. Thankfully, it's not always true. It depends on where you're getting your calories from. Try a youtube search, and see what comes up ❤️
I'm sharing in case someone else needs to hear this, as i would have appreciated beforw i started... I've been diving deep into researching carnivore, and was excited to dive in! I watched all of the main carnivore voices, and studied how to do this. Started and immediately noticed a weight gain - i know that others have said this sometimes happen. I decided to google "gaining weight on carnivore" and discovered that some people cannot eat as much fat as they want without gaining weight. Its frustrating as that is not the message that i heard from the "gurus". I cannot bear to gain even more weight. And now i don't know what to do...
@leahpreston8690 yes, I've been cutting down on the fat. The people that I watch have all said at some point that too much fat can affect your journey ❤️
New sub here 👋 love your humor 😅 I also tend to stray towards keto treats. I’ve had ongoing health issues that are FINALLY being resolved. So I’m back strict carnivore. You got this, I got this. Cheers
Go girl! I feel with you 😢 I will try to go back to 48h fasts and see if that helps, to kickstart my metabolism. Carnivore is not doing the magic for me 😫
I got discouraged when I did not lose any weight on Carnivore... I found out that I can not even eat one teaspoonful of any carbs or I go off the rails. Also... I can not eat any eggs, bacon, or cheese, or cream. To lose I have to eat a lot of beef fat, beef and lamb and not much else. You can not eat anything at all other than carnivore if you want to lose the weight. Not one spoonful.
The Carnivore diet is, at its most basic, an elimination diet since it eliminates a lot of physical problems brought on by carbohydrate sensitivity among other things. I do not see a problem with moving between pure carnivore (BBBE) and low carb Keto (
Hang in there! It will happen. The closer you get to your goal the more it will slow down. Kelly Hogan says she had a two year stall before she lost her last twenty pounds. I believe she did resistance training along with walking.
I really feel for you clearlly im now post menopause but was still going through it when hubby had his stroke in 2018 and then caring for him for next 3 years dueing that time i definately comfort ate as i did when he passed away and in that time went from an overweight 10 stone to almost 15, im back to around 13.7 affter my last scottish trip with all the extra exercise, but wiith this.sllipped diac that groound to a halt, its been hard work just staying at that the last 10 weeks, im just starting to be able to do a bit longer walks again but no where near.pain free so doesnt help but i actually think that only more exercise will now shift the weight as i only have to be a little naughty for pounds to pile back on lol i think youve done amazing so far xx
@Camperjazz Aw, thanks Pam. I really feel for you. Have a look at some carnivore channels. It's really not just weight-loss. There are endless other health benefits ❤️❤️❤️
If you aren't loosing weight you eat too much. Try to look into a fasting two to three days at the time. Dry fasting works best. Good luck, you can do it
Fasting for days = starving. No human in nature would ever want to starve. You cannot survive without eating. If you're fasting that just means you're eating yourself... which would be your fat and muscle stores. Nobody should fast. All you people who preach this are ignorant.
I have been on a very loose carnivore diet for about 2 months. It consists of mostly meat and eggs, but I cheat a little nearly every day. I have dropped in that time from 90kg to 83kg without a huge effort. The big difference I have noticed is that I eat less frequently.
I didn't hear you mention Pottenger's Human...his content is information dense and he provides wonderful suggestions about fasting. Not only did our ancestors eat the proper human diet, they fasted regularly for way longer than OMAD.
Haha you made me laugh. I’ve been strict carnivore for a year and haven’t lost any weight in the last 7 months. I feel it’s the high fat content. I am going to cut out the butter and high fat and see if that works
55. Put on 16lb in 2 months in carnivore. It elevated my liver numbers badly. Now i eat 1g per lb protein and then veg and 3 to 4 oz potato or rice/butternut lunch and dinner, 12 oz veg and salad lunch and dinner. Fruit and greek yoghurt after a meal if i need it.
I saw a 62 year old woman on 5 min body who said she has to eat like 2700 calories of meat a day or she Stalls. I'm trying to concentrate on thos instead of fasting. I've been working only one month. I lost 3 lbs first week then it's been nothing ever since. But I barely get 1200 cal in per day.
You have to up your exercise. I think lots of people rely on diets alone. They're looking for ways to not have to get up and move. If you're walking a mile, up it to 2 or 3. I walk, I do yoga and I mow my lawn and my mom's lawn with a push mower. I sweat like crazy when mowing. You WILL lose weight with increasing your exercise. Best of luck
I think it's very simple. Now that your weight is reduced you need to reduce your intake in order to keep loosing weight. What you were eating to lose weight it's now just maintaining your weight.
People eat too much these days. When we stall, we need to stay with red meat, butter and water for a while until we drop another pound. Weigh every 2 weeks to monitor for stalling. Don't let a stall go for months without an intervention. Also, cheating backfires.
For most people loosing 3 stone in 8 months on any dietary change is amazing and will carry on but this does happen you do need to give it a weeks break It could be not enough salt in fizzy mineral water or salt on food It could be your not getting enough fats like lard so your body is storing it It could be your not eating till you are full enough Add cold butter to your meals Sausages every now and then But its a matter of you keep doing you your amazing
Lovie. You might want to check out if you have Lipoedema. I had been on Carnivore for 2 years and got to a point where my body just would not give up the weight. Although I lost 6 kgms, my body was exactly the same shape and I couldn't get rid of any more weight.
@carnivorecampers when you see your GP for results, don't be surprised if they don't know what Lipoedema is. Best you research Lipoedema first, so you can handle the response. I tell you though, it will make a lot of sense about your weight loss journey when you look into it.
My conclusion is that carnivore suits some and Whole food plant based suits others. Experiment and see what works for you. I was strict carnivore it did not work in fact I was worse. Bodies are different. Listen to your body amour body. Listen to people in the opposite camp.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I've listened to people in many camps. Carnivore makes the most sense to me. I've been vegetarian. I've done the Atkins diet. I lost 3st with Keto. However, I did resort to eating Keto puddings and anything with almond flower in it. For me, not having those options is best. ❤
At the end of the day, post menopause you may need a calorie deficit, aerobic and resistance training to lose weight. I’m post menopausal and you cannot build muscle on diet alone. I started keto back in 2016 when no one knew what Keto was. I barely exercised and lost fat and built muscle. I was ketovore and I barely ate veggies and I was strict almost no carbs. Unfortunately I cannot do that now. I’m gaining fat and losing muscle post menopause. Build the muscle and you will have an easier time losing the fat, if that’s your goal. The weight may stay the same, because muscle weighs more than fat so take measurements and rely on how your clothes fit. I also notice that as your health improves it will be easier to balance out your fat and muscle, but don’t hyper focus on the scale weight because it’s honestly not healthy and it’s rooted in a lie because fat weighs less than muscle and post menopause you absolutely need that muscle. Get a scale that measures your fat and muscle and tracks the percentages gained/lost over time. Good luck to you! I’m in the same boat so completely understand. We got this! 😅♥️💯
Sugarfree will add weight, nut can add weight, and what's in your gravy? There are many days I don't eat but maybe one meal a day, I'm just not hungry.
Calorie balance is still the most important part of weight loss, regardless of the type of foods you're eating. A lot of people lose weight quickly on carnivore initially, because they are drastically cutting calories, but they don't notice it because carnivore foods are so satiating. Also, your body is highly adaptable. It wants to maintain body fat as a hedge against starvation. As you lose weight, your metabolism slows, and what was a calorie deficit in the beginning becomes your new baseline. Then you need to cut calories even further, or increase exercise, to break through the plateau.
I am almost like you , 38 years , toing canivore for an year , still eating walnuts , peanuts , milk , fruits time to time , mainly bcz i can' t manage to have meat supply all the time, & i have small fridge , my i lost 7 kg , i still 3 or 4kg to loose , but it s tsking time , i5 feels stagnants , but i know i have to work out constantly in the gym which i struggle to keep consistance , but the main issue is the fact that i really feel lower energy all the time .
@mucotessi1178 eat eggs then. Eggs are a complete food. Have butter also. You gotta stay off all that other stuff. That's why you have low energy ❤️❤️❤️
You answered your own question, if you eat outside or carnivore it stops working. I have done the same thing so I am speaking from experience. I find I can get back into the swing by doing intermittent fasting, 16 hr fast and then nothing but meat.
I have switched from fasting in the morning to eating first thing in the morning and I've heard from other women that they need to eat first thing in the morning or it messes with their hormones. So I finish eating about noon or one and then I'm done for the day. It works really well for me. Men can do all right with skipping breakfast, but women not so much. What was your fasting windows?
Carnivore can create a stress on the body, causing it to produce stress hormones like cortisol. This mild stress can make you hold on to weight. It would be exacerbated by the mental stress of trying to stick to the diet. You may want to experiment with adding a small amount of fruit or veggies, in line with the keto diet, just to tell your body that it’s safe. ❤
What? Cashews are the least keto of all the nuts! Macadamias, walnuts or nothing, and definitely limit the walnuts. Pork contains omega6 from their food. Sausages contain god only knows what. Dairy fat is allegedly more anti-inflammatory than tallow, whish is neutral. Beef might contain sufficient fat content but once you had enough peotein for your daily needs you can choose to slowly eat some fat until satiety to avoid the extra carbs from the excess protein. This is tricky to get right. Mist likely your weight is not the greatest of your remaining health problems and your body is prioritizing correctly and telling you that thru satiety/hunger. Also, fast weight loss is not a sign of a good diet. Your body image needs time to adjust. People gain weight slowly even when eating healthy food to excess so it's not surprising the opposite is also true. Cheers!
One thing to keep in mind possibly is that your body is struggling. Dr mindy Pelz talks about what happens post menopause with the job of producing hormones previously produced in the ovaries now being made in adrenals. It may be your adrenals are overworked - if fasting a lot stresses adrenals that increase cortisol etc. I just read it, doesn’t mean I know what I’m talking about. Elizabeth Bright’s book ‘fat is good for women, menopause’ and mindy Pelz ’fast like a girl’ both excellent resources for explaining what’s going on and what to do about it. Good luck
what i would like to know .... if when you reach your goal weight how do you stop ....im going to start it hope i can get rid of my back aches and get the strenth back in my legs 76 yrs here feel like im not old but i know im sitting around way too much and ofcourse the weight gain so once again how do you stop with out bringing all the aches and pains back ... thank you for listening to me and really hope for an answer ,
If you still eat 3x a day, I suggest that you skip the breakfast and break your fast at lunch and do intermittent fasting. I suggest that you do your exercise during your fast. I lost weight that way.
Since you are already carnivore, have you thought about maybe mixing that with the 5:2 plan? On the 5:2 plan, you take your calories down to 500 calories two non-consecutive days per week. I do intermittent keto, specifically the 5:2 plan (more like 4:3), and I make my down days keto. Years ago, keto didn't work for weight loss, but I got all the other benefits of it. The 5:2 plan was really disappointing every time I tried it until I started lowering my down day carbs to keto levels. Everything changed in an instant. I hope you are willing to give it a shot. Good luck!
Try fasting 1 day a week with broth, water and coffee and watch the weight drop. Have 1 day free , like a sunday where you eat what you please. Therefore the rest of the 5 days strict carnovire- watch it fall.
@sunstillshining3927 I am already 23/1 but working towards a 36hr fast 1 day a week. There will be zero 'eat what I want' days, as I'm a carb addict. ❤️
@@carnivorecampers thanks for your response. Yes it can not work if not disciplined. I totally get that. However, having 1 free day shocks the metabolic rate.
Try adding a bit more variety into your diet, try some lamb and use duck fat instead of butter. Having some wild caught salmon as well and avoid the bacon which is full of nitrates and is processed. Re- addressing your “Why” and your “Goal” may also be helpful. I wish you well on your carnivore journey and most of all be kind to yourself - good luck !!!
Person should know if they're too fat or not but honestly you don't look fat to me you look great. Muscle weights more and I would not worry, it will catch up. Who knows what diseases you had coming up that you've already cured before they've been diagnosed.

Love your tongue in cheek humour. Happy to help and have subscribed.
I am 78 and been on OMAD for ages. Feel 50. don't have a doctor and at 5 feet 6 inches weigh 9 stone.
I used to weigh seventeen stone a long time ago. never put any weight on since i lost it. there is somethng you are doindg which you may not realise. Dairy? when you reach a plateau it is always dairy! Drinking too much of the wrong things? change your food (and still be carnivore), fish, and poultry and eggs. Give your system a jolt. h
Have your one meal at mid-day..... Not so long to wait, if you are hungry in the morning, and not so long to last before you go to bed; and,... you can't eat pork scratchings if you don't have any, can you?
After all, nothing tastes as good as feeling thin.
look forward to seeing you next week.

@@babavee100 Lol, yes, I have no scratchings with me at work now.
I'm terrible with dairy, so that's almost always a hard no.

@carnivorecampers carnivore isn't for everyone though
@@carnivorecampers Adding iodine (15 mg 1x of Lugol's solution) Selenium (200 mcg, 1x SCMC) and 10-25k IU of vitamin D3 till I reached, a blood level of 80 ng (which would be 200 nmols if in the IK or EU) helped me drop over 60lbs, with no other effort (besides light exercise, which I had been doing all along.) No special diet, just a sensible healthy one.
Keep going, I lost 4st last year, felt 20 years younger, plateaud and gave up, regretting it now, all my aches and pains are back
@paulclark4147 yes, it's certainly a long haul for some. I'm definitely sticking at it. Just heading my stomach mostly.
Some days I can barely eat a few mouthfuls, other I eat loads.
I'm not forcing food into me to get the right amount of protein every day. That doesn't work for me. I think it can work for the majority, just eating meat every day and magical things happy. However, for some of us, we have to experiment and find our own way ❤️

Your story is 100% relatable to me - all of the guilt in thinking about eating the wrong things, then eating them, them feeling more disappointed etc ... I have to constantly remind myself of the benefits I've achieved from the carnivore diet...it's easy to forget just how bad it was before I started it. Keep up with it and looking forward to following along in your journey!

You should watch some of Kelly Hogan's videos. I believe this one talks about knowing how much you should be eating on Carnivore (you may be eating too little or too much) and how to figure that out. Don't give up!
@@flutini1 will do, thank you! ❤️
I’m 61 & have been on carnivore for 19 months. Lost 45 lbs, met my goal 6 months ago. You have to eat more fat, less protein. I ate 80% of my calories from fat, 20% from protein the first 10 months while I was healing my body of fibromyalgia & a host of other things. Dropped to 70/30 for 6 months, now I’m sticking with about 65/35 with a few strawberries & avocado. I HAD to give up all dairy except butter. Dairy makes me inflamed & I gain weight. I eat 1 gram of protein for each lb of ideal body weight. Hang in there, nothing tastes as good as I feel!!
@@ASouthernLadyinAppalachia this is what I'm confused about. There are experts on UA-cam who say that menopausal women should have less fat. I think I should try a month of each to see if there's a difference ❤️
@@carnivorecampers No such thing as a youtube expert, if you are not losing weight you are eating too many calories, weight your food, track it with an app, set how many calories you are eating, eat less in whatever kind of diet you want, and you'll lose weight after some time, some exercise will help you, don't follow gurus, just follow actual science.

I stalled on carnivore for a year.
After an epic sugar binge Easter season of 2023, I had ballooned up 20 lbs to 360. I lost 70 on keto a few years ago and wasn't having issues with holiday candy, but put it all back on plus 20 that Easter.
Loved the idea of carnivore but it took me a couple months of research before I took on the 30 day elimination challenge. Dropped 60 lbs in 2 months and then proceeded to slack off and have a few treats, kept drinking 2 liters of Diet Coke a day, cheese, cashews, then the chocolate bars came back in and by the end of the 2024 Easter season I'd gained 10.
Jumped on BBB&E carnivore the middle of June. Quit all beverages except plain water and have stayed strong, which has netted me a 28 lb loss in 8 weeks. I've broken the 300 plateau (290ish for a couple of weeks now), where I spent a lot of years managing not to exceed 300. As you may know your body will have trouble breaking through previous set weights.
My next big set weight is at 285 and then 250. I need hip and back surgery and need to get down to 240 before the surgeon will operate, so I'm motivated. Walking with 2 canes or a rollator. On nonstop Tylenol and Advil.
I'm rooting for you. As Dr. Berry and many carnivores have said; doing 95% carnivore may not be enough, especially if you're stalled. Go for the 100% for 30 days and see how it goes.

If you're going to eat something that's not carnivore it's best to not beat yourself up for doing. Eat it, enjoy and forget about it😉
I can't. Because if I do that, I will revert back into old habits.
It's a case of total abstinence for me. ❤️
@@carnivorecampers me too! I’ve learned that the hard way. But now that I know, I do my best to eat the foods that keep me satiated and help me lose weight. I’ve learned much a long the way as have you. You’ve got this!!
It’s kinda rough when you go back. Some people get sick or their body feels awful afterwards
Sweet lady, I am right there with you! I’ve gained 15lbs since April. I did join a gym and I now do CrossFit 2 to 3 times per week, which is absolutely ridiculous, hard and hateful. I’d do it more often but I’m just so darned sore. But my strength and balance are improving so I’m sticking with it. I enjoy escaping the reality of the world more often than I should with a margarita. One terrible vice. I like heavy cream on my coffee. Another vice. I don’t have maladies so I simply have two goals: being thin and warding off future illness. I went strict carnivore in March of 2022 and zip! 30lbs gone so quickly. I then discovered heavy cream in my coffee and my weight loss stopped. Like you, I know what I need to do and I need accountability. It’s hard to find it inside the family and local community, that’s for sure. I’ve got to want it more than I want a nice gentle buzz that makes the insanity of the world not matter. I’ve got to want it more than my morning Joe. It’s hard though when you feel like, ‘darn it, I’ve earned these small pleasures! I work hard and eat clean 98% of the time dammit!’ But at our menopausal age, apparently there is no wiggle room. We’re either fat and “happy “ or think and militaristic. Which will I choose? Hmmm. Good on you though! You rock and you’ll get back at it, I just know it!!
Lots to wiggle but no room to do it! Yup, we can't mess about when the Menopause Bitch has a hold of us. For me, anyway, it's strict or I'm done for. Sounds like you too. When I'm on track, and I feel like having something not on the list, I just keep telling myself... IT IS NOT A TREAT! It's a trick!!! I hope that you manage to reach your goal ❤
Maybe just a spirit on the rocks Carb free.
I agree with you that the margarita and heavy cream contribute to our mental well-being, for me especially after a hot day working on the ranch (all on foot-great exercise!) and that delicious coffee to pry the eyes open at sunrise. This does slow down the weight loss. For me it is okay. Because most of my food is steak and salt, and a lot of water. I lose pounds quickly and gain very loose ugly hanging skin this way. But I feel great, and find that couple of creamed cups of "Joe" help me very much. We are all individuals and just need to remember to enjoy the benefits of carnivore eating and be thankful for the blessings we gain from it. For me I only have to remember how it felt before I started eating right, to keep me on track. My dogs are all carnivore, too, by the way. Fit shape and glossy coats on burger and raw home - raised eggs, and all the grasses and lambs quarters to nibble on if they want.

Fellow carnivorian living it up in cow country Montana here. This video came into my feed. I have subscribed and am sharing it with others who also eat well, and are getting well doing our versions of carnivore eating. Some people just do hang onto the extra pounds for a long while. I lose too quickly, myself. Then modify how I eat to allow the skin time to shrink down also. It's not fun to have wrinkly hanging skin getting in your way, and scary to look at, too! Been carnivore for nearly three years now, and couldn't be happier. I look forward to your future posts. You are doing amazingly well, in my opinion!
You are lovely. Thanks so much for your support ❤️❤️❤️
Keep at it! You’ll figure it out. Not everything works the same for everyone. I did well and then got away from carnivore last year but I’m back. Cheering you on!!!
@ltpsalm63 thank you so much 💓
You got this!
I do got this! 😁
Ziggy you're looking great. You sound like you have a plan. Remember that Carnivore builds muscle and increases bone density so sometimes the tape measure tells a truer story than the scale. I dropped to 13st10lbs in December but have gone back up to 14st7lbs without adding to my waist line so I'm not concerned. Trust the process. Somebody else has flagged up Kelly Hogan and I think she's the specialist for your case. She's been Carnivore for 15 years and has experienced plateaus and fluctuations. I'll send you the ones that talk about weight. Lainy and I are just down the road and continuing to support you both ❤

Love your video and have subscribed. I started BBBE in June 2023 after finding Dr. Berry’s videos and have lost 50 lbs but like you am stuck at this point. But I do have fruit and a few other things, and I know that’s probably what’s keeping my weight on. But, I stick to no sugar or carbs (low carbs) and no processed foods and I know my gut is still healing. I walk a mile 4-5 x a week and do some exercise videos a few times a week. I feel so much better than before I started so I trust the process. I was prediabetic, had joint aches and pains (was heading towards knee replacement), fatigue, headaches and heartburn. Most all healed now. Just turned 58 and feel better than I have in the last 20 years. Seeing videos like yours helps keep me on track and inspired…thank you!

The photos say it all! Good job! I'll be 70 in a couple of weeks. I've been carnivore for 5 months and have only lost 20 pounds. Weight loss is definitely harder at this age, but I'm not quitting. I've had a few indiscretions, but stick to it for the most part. The hardest part was going on a 7 day Alaskan cruise 3 weeks ago! I wasn't horribly bad though. Onward and upward!
@@nanaobx Well done! Thanks for watching ❤️
It is great to hear you are not giving up. My journey on the carnivore diet took 9 months to lose 70 lbs, BP normal in 2 months of starting, off meds for gerd and BP. I have been maintaining it now. I did have to reassure doctors about my cholesterol with a cac test of 0 to keep them from giving me a statin. This was because I was higher, and the doctors wanted to do a statin, and I said, "No." Recently changed from using butter to beef tallow and occasionally do off carnivore, but use it meat the most as it gave me energy and my life back. I hope this encourages you and others to not give up! You can do it!

Omg I'm in the same boat - last when I started carnivore I'd lost 50 pounds without even trying, this year I've put on 10 this last few months , because I wasn't eating enough , I listened to beef & butter gal and started eating a lot more because I'm weightlifting 3 days a week . I'm bloated as all get out , but I still have some bad habits I'm working on. I'm taking accountability for my mistakes and checking myself daily to make sure I stay on track...
You're gaining muscle, though ❤️
chin up! you are doing great! I'm the same...a menopausal lady, you may need to eat more not less. eat enough so snacks are not required. i also started taking a beef organ supplement because i do not like organ foods, this has helped clear up a couple deficiencies... hope this helps!

At least you’ve lost something. I gained 30 pounds when I entered menopause 3 years ago and I’ve not lost a single pound. I was already keto/low carb before and as a health coach I’ve tried everything I know of to get this stubborn fat off and it will not budge. I started carnivore over 5 months ago and have stuck to it pretty faithfully, but I still haven’t lost a thing. Like you, I feel better blah blah blah, but I’m tired of feeling heavy. I won’t give up because I’m stubborn, but I’m really pissed off that I can’t get rid of the blubber.

Your video could have been made by me until I moved to Ketogenic Diet. In 17 weeks I lost 2.36 stones/ 33 Pounds/ 15 kgs. I keep under 20g of Carbohydrate per day. I Eat 3 meals/day and only walk my dog for exercise. I think Carnivore isn’t the holy grail as we are meant to believe. I was putting on weight instead loosing and I was constantly thinking about food. I’m 54 and menopausal. Now I weigh 10.55 stone/147 Pounds/67kgs and my height is 5’8/173.
Not sure if that’s helpful.
It's lovely of you to comment. If you watch my subsequent videos, you'll see that carnivore is actually working for me. My problem was going off plan. So happy for your weight-loss, well done! 😍
The weight training will definitely help as we lose 1% of muscle mass per year after the age of 40. If your body doesn’t take in enough protein, it will break down lean tissue to get what it needs. However, if you are on a carnivore diet hopefully you will be getting enough protein for your requirements, so it sounds as though you don’t have enough muscle to help with fat burning and not in a calorie deficit. For the weight training, I suggest 2x a week upper body, 1x a week lower body and 1x a week full body and one HIIT/Tabata session. The Tabata sessions will give the body stress, as all exercise does, but the upside is that it will manage the stress in the body the rest of the time. (Inflammation is a big problem in our older bodies with menopause.) Fit in two sessions of yoga on separate days in between the weight training to help with stretching out the muscles and these two days act as ‘rest days” for the body. We take longer to recover from exercise as we get older. Finally, try to walk for an hour a day. This is a stress reliever and will help lower cortisol levels in the body, help with sleep (poor sleep can inhibit weight loss), and help with fat burning. Yes, it’s a lot of exercise to fit in, but needed to help with metabolism. If you plan all this into your week, you should see results. I am not on a carnivore diet, but on the same journey of weight loss in my late fifties. It’s a long hard road.
@JOJO-ug9ei thank you so much fir your indepth advice. I appreciate it greatly ❤️
If you walk every day at least 30 minutes it is ssssuuppppeerrr helpful. I think that walking along with building muscle by lifting dumbbells at home is the best thing you can do. I know you can do it with your great outlook on life!

OMAD is the way to go if weight loss is your goal. Start of with a 48-72 hr fast and then try OMAD from there.
It's how I start when I have been "off piste" for a few days like last Christmas.
Good luck and carry on being brave ❤
I really couldn't do it that way around. I would cave. I'm starting off OMAD and then working up to a 3 day fast over a period of weeks ❤
@@carnivorecampers Dr. Jason Fung tells his patients that multi-day fasting should be followed by "feasting" days of 2-3 meals, not just back to OMAD immediately. He also does not recommend OMAD for long time periods. He says the body interprets that as calorie restriction and lowers metabolism in response. I know OMAD is widely recommended and I don't know how to reconcile that. Maybe trial and error to see what works for your body.
You answered your question beginning at the 2:25 mark. Especially the sugar free jelly; the artificial sweeteners are actually way worse than white sugar in every way, especially in that since the body doesn't know what to do with it, it stores it as fat by default. You need to follow the BBBE plan exactly with no substitutes for at least 90 days to clean out your system and you will un-stall your progress and lose the remaining weight you want to. Drink nothing but water and use Ultima brand electrolyte drink mix to both give you some flavor if that's important to you and help you get through the "keto flu" phase.
Thank you 😊 Keep watching for my 1 month update ❤️
My son got stuck as well. Combination of fasting and OMAD got him over it PLUS...He was in the gym doing only cardio. I got him lifting light-medium weights and...NOT STUCK AMYMORE! The weight loss just needed some stimulation other than the "regular."
@@Belg6179 Brilliant news! Well done ❤️
I highly recommend doing 32h water fast once a week :) It's a game changer on carnivore, when you hitted platou. Not only it will boost your metabolism, but also it will reset your gut microbiome, and help with accelerating healing :) For me it did wonders!
I'm certainly going to work towards that. I'll get a couple of weeks of OMAD behind me first. Thanks for commenting ❤️❤️❤️
@@carnivorecampers be cautious about OMAD, 32h fast is way easier to do. OMAD can lead to binge eating, and sometimes to under eating. Observe your body and how you react :) Lots of love! I believe you will figure out what works for you and achieve your goals!
@adria_de I'm OK on OMAD, I did it for 3 months without any problems. It all went tits up when we went away for a week. All meals included. We are going to the same place again in September, but I shall not be partaking of the extras. Also, I won't be 'going down for breakfast.
I'll just have whatever meat is on offer in the evening and take my own cold food to keep my intake correct ❤️
@@carnivorecampers Awww, go down for breakfast! Just control yourself and have only the eggs, and some meat. Ignore the Belgian waffles, scones, biscuits, and jellies, etc. I know you can do it. JUST think first and eat intentionally. Ask people around you to smack you if you make a wrong move toward your mouth, HA! Have a great September thing, and good luck.
I'm 70 years old and have been in menopause for over 20 years. I started Carnivore March 2nd and have lost 25lb. I am not a strict Carnivore, I eat low glycemic vegetables that I grew myself. I'm happy with my progress. I feel better. I have at least 30 more pounds to lose, but I'm being patient.
Thanks for watching. Best of luck in your journey ❤️
My one menopause symptom was insomnia. That caused my cortisol, insulin and glucose to spike and I too gained weight and it was mostly around my waist. I did not change a single thing I was eating at all. One day I’m losing weight then the next day I’m gaining 😢 I’m getting my sleep back or trying and losing weight again.
I take melatonin 1 mg to sleep. It works great for me. I know in the UK it is by prescription Here in Canada I buy it at the drugstore
@@AP-nx6xo can’t take it, would be nice.
What are you doing that is contributing to improved sleep? Nothing I do works :(
@@2A4BDGV just got prescribed quvivic and trying that. You can get a coupon for it for a 30 day supply.
Be patient, you doing great.
@messiii.007 thank you ❤️
You’ve done awesome and you can do this!!
Kick up the exercise :) even a mile a day will make a difference! jog a few seconds if you can in between to get the hit training and build on it …I’m 55 and learning to run …it’s amazing 🤩 carnivore has changed my life … lost 50 and 20 to go :)
yes accountability ❤
best of luck!!
Brilliant! ❤️❤️❤️
Try fasting for 24 hours, eating more fat, intermittent fasting, give up dairy and cheese for awhile.
You may be more sensitive to the keto "allowed' foods.
Try "Lion Diet" for 30 days and exercise 3 days weeks for 20-30 minutes per session.
Keep a food diary and keep track of your weight when you go off plan to pinpoint the foods that are stalling your weight loss goal.
Thanks, I'm doing all of that now
You may be eating a little too much protein and a little too little fat. Make sure you are taking a bio identical hormone supplement. The loss of estrogen and progesterone really affect weight gain, muscle loss and loss of elasticity in face, neck and breasts. Keep eating healthy and hang in there! Remember always…….love yourself where you are at. I am exactly where you are.
Thank you so much for your comment 😊
@@carnivorecampers you are very welcome. Have a blessed day.
Too much protein turns into glucose which stores fat. I'm 6 years into menopause and lost 42 pounds. Kept it all off for 3 years. Intermittent fasting and omad as a lifestyle. You have to eat 60% fat (butter) and 40% protein(meat). Hope that helps.
Fat makes my belly jiggle
That is blatantly false misinformation. Do not eat 60% of your diet as butter.
Meat that has 20% fat contains roughly 70% fat as energy. It has the perfect default macros that you can adjust from there on.
Way better is meat fat. Not too mich Butter either. What is kind of carnivore diet you eat? Which meats? Butter 4 example have to be real Butter, Not butter mixed with seed oils. What do you drink? Just plain water is best. Try to cut coffee-> cause coffee beans are plants. Dont eat too much diery products, some peps cannot stand too much diery. And at least they have to be full fat, best raw. Maybe you have too much bacon/Pork. Do not use seed oils to cook the meat, just butter better meat fat. Look carefully and try maybe just lion diet => red meats, Salt, water. Maybe you cant stand too much eggs.
Mainly beef. One cup of black decaf tea in the morning. Water the rest of the day. Bacon once a week with eggs and sausages (nothing but pork).
Lots of omelettes.
No dairy.
That's what I'm doing now.
As you can see from the video, I went quite off piste for a while ❤
Absolutely NO seed oils.
This is wrong actually. I've been stalled for about 3 years now and I've literally only just realised, after my son said to me "why don't you just do what you did before" that losing fat on carnivore is about your energy in. If you eat loads of energy - fat, your body will not use its own fat as energy.
What we need to do is while we have some fat to shed, is stop adding extra fat. Just eat the meat with its own fat and that's it. If you want to go a step further, eat lean protein only for a few days and for a few days off, eat your regular diet with animal fat. The weight will come off. Just make sure you're getting in at least 1g per lb of protein that is equally to your ideal weight for your height. Then when you get to your ideal weight, adjust the fat levels to maintenance.
I started keto 5 and a half years ago. Dabbled with carnivore then switched. I'm 60lbs up! No one can explain it. I've tried every tweak and iteration you can think of.
@chelseahilton-dukes5799 I'm really sorry to hear that. Reach out to @coachstephen I believe he's not had any failures ❤️
@@carnivorecampers it's not in my budget sadly x
I have seen the explanation that higher amounts of protein will raise blood glucose and insulin. A diabetic using insulin has to use half as much for protein as they do for carbs, so not nothing, while fats require very little. This is from videos recommending very high fat carnivore or keto. Hope you find some answers.
I know it is really hard to stick with eating the same thing every day. What I try to do is liven it up with different spices. Where I used to eat ketchup on eggs which isn't good because of the sugar, now I can add mustard on my scrambled eggs, or I can put on different spices and I'm currently using a curry powder spice to help add taste. I'm also trying to only eat once per day.
Sounds great! Best of luck on your journey ❤️❤️❤️
I can help, and explain. To zero in on specific goal, to keep progressing/losing fat, at some point, it come down to details. So calories of fat/meat etc consumed daily. This is not what we want to hear, but it is fact. Weighing food for awhile, really can help here, as not only do you only consume what your REQUIRE, but you also build a relationship with accurate visual portions and still feeling satiated.
Now, I have questions:
- how long of walks, time and distance, do you go for each day? Just one?
- how brisk(fast) is it, are there any hills?
- when you say fasting, do you mean drinking water, or not, as dry fasting burns up 3 times more fat.
- how often are you consuming dairy or sugar free sweeteners?
I don't do many walks and when I do, they are sedentary.
Yes, I drink water when I fast. I'm not going to fast without water.
No dairy, no sugar free sweeteners
❤
@@carnivorecampers Okay, so while weight training is good for strength, it does not use fat calories, it uses glycogen/glucose(anaerobic) calories. So while it will maintain lean mass, which does help burn more calories. Its not going to make you leaner, unless you start measuring calories of meat/fat.
Cardio exercise(is aerobic) on the other hand, so it does use fat for energy, so walking, an Elliptical Trainer, or a Recumbent bike in front of the TV are also really worth considering. Swimming is also excellent, as it is a no impact exercise that is more fun for some. Energy after exercise increases after cardio too.
You had mentioned eating jello and a few other things is why I asked about sugar free sweeteners, while they do not store fat(like glucose does), they do prevent us from using fat for energy. Hope this helps.
I have been there too. Check out Jason Fung's video on UA-cam, "Practical Fasting".
When you eat your body stores what you cannot burn at that time as fat. As the day goes on your body pulls that fat out of storage to burn as energy. If you eat more meat, fat, etc. than your body can burn you will end out gaining weight.
Best wishes
Thanks for that my lovely. I'll certainly have a look ❤
I am dealing with the same problem. I did lose 20 pounds, not sure what that is in stones, by eating more fat and cutting back on protein. I have butter and lard in my coffee, at lunch I have beef and a croissant with loads of butter. A few hours before bed I have another few bites of butter with salt. Some days I’d eat egg yolks with some beef and butter. High fat is good for our hormones in menopause. Needless to say, when I started eating the extra fat, each morning I measured and I’d lose a pound. It was unbelievable til I saw it! I recommend trying it. Oh and I haven’t exercised in the 4 years I’ve been carnivore. I do chores and have a regular job but it’s not rigorous. That all the physical activity I have.
Nearly a stone and a half. A stone is 14lbs. 1kg=2.2kg. Great job with the weight loss!
I couldn't possibly eat a croissant! Lol, I'd be off the wagon immediately. I'm very happy for your weightloss. Well done
Best of luck to you!!! Actually, it's not luck, and you already know that. Congratulations on your success so far, and I'm sure that if you stick to the battle plan, you'll win the war.
Thank you for your encouragement ❤️❤️❤️
Fasting Darling. Do a 3 day water fast. You'll learn so much.
I'm post menopause.
and shift your meals to earlier in the day. Get a CGM to see if there's any clues. It still comes down to excess insulin stores fat and prevents burning fat.
I'm going to build up to a 3 day fast. Let me get a couple of weeks of OMAD out the first. Then a couple of weeks on 36hr fast... then I'm all in on the three days ❤
@lindad6223 I can't eat any earlier than 3:30pm. I work earlies.❤
good luck ! you can do it ! cheers from Vulcan Canada
Thank you! ❤️
I’ve heard that no matter what diet you’re doing, keto, carnivore, etc, losing weight is still a matter of calories in, calories out. And you won’t lose weight until you have a calorie deficit.
Yes, everyone has heard that. Thankfully, it's not always true. It depends on where you're getting your calories from. Try a youtube search, and see what comes up ❤️
I'm sharing in case someone else needs to hear this, as i would have appreciated beforw i started...
I've been diving deep into researching carnivore, and was excited to dive in! I watched all of the main carnivore voices, and studied how to do this. Started and immediately noticed a weight gain - i know that others have said this sometimes happen. I decided to google "gaining weight on carnivore" and discovered that some people cannot eat as much fat as they want without gaining weight. Its frustrating as that is not the message that i heard from the "gurus". I cannot bear to gain even more weight. And now i don't know what to do...
@leahpreston8690 yes, I've been cutting down on the fat. The people that I watch have all said at some point that too much fat can affect your journey ❤️
New sub here 👋 love your humor 😅 I also tend to stray towards keto treats. I’ve had ongoing health issues that are FINALLY being resolved. So I’m back strict carnivore. You got this, I got this. Cheers
@@laurie2355 Thank you so much! Best of luck on your own journey ❤️
Go girl! I feel with you 😢 I will try to go back to 48h fasts and see if that helps, to kickstart my metabolism. Carnivore is not doing the magic for me 😫
I got discouraged when I did not lose any weight on Carnivore... I found out that I can not even eat one teaspoonful of any carbs or I go off the rails. Also... I can not eat any eggs, bacon, or cheese, or cream. To lose I have to eat a lot of beef fat, beef and lamb and not much else. You can not eat anything at all other than carnivore if you want to lose the weight. Not one spoonful.
@Dakiniwoman agreed. At least for us. Some people manage with occasional off plan food. Not me, though ❤️
The Carnivore diet is, at its most basic, an elimination diet since it eliminates a lot of physical problems brought on by carbohydrate sensitivity among other things. I do not see a problem with moving between pure carnivore (BBBE) and low carb Keto (
@deborahfraser9325 Thanks so much for commenting.
I like what you have to say. I'm not on any medication at all. ❤️
Hang in there! It will happen. The closer you get to your goal the more it will slow down. Kelly Hogan says she had a two year stall before she lost her last twenty pounds. I believe she did resistance training along with walking.
Very true! I'm doing ok now though, losing weight and finding it less difficult to stay on plan ❤
I'm loosing very little weight. I'm 5 months into the Carnivore lifestyle 😢.
@@dkeith-fc8hn come along with me... we'll work it out together ❤️

@kimbest9572 Thank you Kim ❤️
I really feel for you clearlly im now post menopause but was still going through it when hubby had his stroke in 2018 and then caring for him for next 3 years dueing that time i definately comfort ate as i did when he passed away and in that time went from an overweight 10 stone to almost 15, im back to around 13.7 affter my last scottish trip with all the extra exercise, but wiith this.sllipped diac that groound to a halt, its been hard work just staying at that the last 10 weeks, im just starting to be able to do a bit longer walks again but no where near.pain free so doesnt help but i actually think that only more exercise will now shift the weight as i only have to be a little naughty for pounds to pile back on lol i think youve done amazing so far xx
@Camperjazz Aw, thanks Pam. I really feel for you. Have a look at some carnivore channels. It's really not just weight-loss. There are endless other health benefits ❤️❤️❤️
@@carnivorecampers will do
If you aren't loosing weight you eat too much. Try to look into a fasting two to three days at the time. Dry fasting works best. Good luck, you can do it
@@jaroslav6109 I'm just eating the wrong things 🙃
Fasting for days = starving. No human in nature would ever want to starve. You cannot survive without eating. If you're fasting that just means you're eating yourself... which would be your fat and muscle stores. Nobody should fast. All you people who preach this are ignorant.
First, congratulations on great weight loss! At the end of the day, it’s calories in, calories out. I hope that helps. And - you look terrific!
Shucks... Thanks
I had to forego the Pork Crackle packeted snacks as I ate far too many and felt like I had a brick in my gut the next morning. I probably did...
😁
wow sooo inspiring thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
No, thank YOU, for watching and commenting ❤️❤️❤️
Its Mary Poppins OMG❤🎉
I have been on a very loose carnivore diet for about 2 months. It consists of mostly meat and eggs, but I cheat a little nearly every day. I have dropped in that time from 90kg to 83kg without a huge effort. The big difference I have noticed is that I eat less frequently.
Yes, me too
I didn't hear you mention Pottenger's Human...his content is information dense and he provides wonderful suggestions about fasting. Not only did our ancestors eat the proper human diet, they fasted regularly for way longer than OMAD.
@johnmartinsen963 yes, I'm hoping to build up to longer fasts ❤️
Haha you made me laugh. I’ve been strict carnivore for a year and haven’t lost any weight in the last 7 months. I feel it’s the high fat content. I am going to cut out the butter and high fat and see if that works
@@terri4337 go for it! What's the worst that can happen? 😁
55. Put on 16lb in 2 months in carnivore. It elevated my liver numbers badly. Now i eat 1g per lb protein and then veg and 3 to 4 oz potato or rice/butternut lunch and dinner, 12 oz veg and salad lunch and dinner. Fruit and greek yoghurt after a meal if i need it.
I saw a 62 year old woman on 5 min body who said she has to eat like 2700 calories of meat a day or she Stalls. I'm trying to concentrate on thos instead of fasting. I've been working only one month. I lost 3 lbs first week then it's been nothing ever since. But I barely get 1200 cal in per day.
@@birdietherecycledhippychic642 was this woman very active?
@@carnivorecampers I think she said she walked 1 hour 3 times a week.
Are you drinking coffee?...How is your sleep cycle?...If you don't sleep 8 hours a day and get a decent sleep you will not ever lose weight!
Just water and, being on Carnivore, the sleep is improving ❤️
You have to up your exercise. I think lots of people rely on diets alone. They're looking for ways to not have to get up and move. If you're walking a mile, up it to 2 or 3. I walk, I do yoga and I mow my lawn and my mom's lawn with a push mower. I sweat like crazy when mowing. You WILL lose weight with increasing your exercise. Best of luck
Yes, I was doing much better when exercising ❤
Totally know what you mean, exactly the same with me 🎉
❤️❤️❤️
I think it's very simple. Now that your weight is reduced you need to reduce your intake in order to keep loosing weight. What you were eating to lose weight it's now just maintaining your weight.
People eat too much these days. When we stall, we need to stay with red meat, butter and water for a while until we drop another pound. Weigh every 2 weeks to monitor for stalling. Don't let a stall go for months without an intervention. Also, cheating backfires.
Yup!
For most people loosing 3 stone in 8 months on any dietary change is amazing and will carry on but this does happen you do need to give it a weeks break
It could be not enough salt in fizzy mineral water or salt on food
It could be your not getting enough fats like lard so your body is storing it
It could be your not eating till you are full enough
Add cold butter to your meals
Sausages every now and then
But its a matter of you keep doing you your amazing
Thank you! I'm doing OK now. Keep watching for my 1 month update ❤️
Lovie. You might want to check out if you have Lipoedema. I had been on Carnivore for 2 years and got to a point where my body just would not give up the weight. Although I lost 6 kgms, my body was exactly the same shape and I couldn't get rid of any more weight.
@@lizzvictory932 I'm booking an appointment to get my bloods done ❤️
@carnivorecampers when you see your GP for results, don't be surprised if they don't know what Lipoedema is. Best you research Lipoedema first, so you can handle the response. I tell you though, it will make a lot of sense about your weight loss journey when you look into it.
You also need 16 hours between supper and breakfast...and only eat 2 large meals a day without any snacks throughout the day!
@@frankhardy4969 I'm OMAD ❤️
My conclusion is that carnivore suits some and Whole food plant based suits others. Experiment and see what works for you.
I was strict carnivore it did not work in fact I was worse. Bodies are different. Listen to your body amour body. Listen to people in the opposite camp.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I've listened to people in many camps. Carnivore makes the most sense to me. I've been vegetarian. I've done the Atkins diet. I lost 3st with Keto. However, I did resort to eating Keto puddings and anything with almond flower in it. For me, not having those options is best. ❤
At the end of the day, post menopause you may need a calorie deficit, aerobic and resistance training to lose weight. I’m post menopausal and you cannot build muscle on diet alone. I started keto back in 2016 when no one knew what Keto was. I barely exercised and lost fat and built muscle. I was ketovore and I barely ate veggies and I was strict almost no carbs. Unfortunately I cannot do that now. I’m gaining fat and losing muscle post menopause. Build the muscle and you will have an easier time losing the fat, if that’s your goal. The weight may stay the same, because muscle weighs more than fat so take measurements and rely on how your clothes fit. I also notice that as your health improves it will be easier to balance out your fat and muscle, but don’t hyper focus on the scale weight because it’s honestly not healthy and it’s rooted in a lie because fat weighs less than muscle and post menopause you absolutely need that muscle. Get a scale that measures your fat and muscle and tracks the percentages gained/lost over time. Good luck to you! I’m in the same boat so completely understand. We got this! 😅♥️💯
Sugarfree will add weight, nut can add weight, and what's in your gravy?
There are many days I don't eat but maybe one meal a day, I'm just not hungry.
Lol, I knew that, I just had my head well and truly in the sand 😂
Calorie balance is still the most important part of weight loss, regardless of the type of foods you're eating. A lot of people lose weight quickly on carnivore initially, because they are drastically cutting calories, but they don't notice it because carnivore foods are so satiating. Also, your body is highly adaptable. It wants to maintain body fat as a hedge against starvation. As you lose weight, your metabolism slows, and what was a calorie deficit in the beginning becomes your new baseline. Then you need to cut calories even further, or increase exercise, to break through the plateau.
@jakeviolet2195 I've lost 11lbs since this video by just staying on plan ❤️
I am almost like you , 38 years , toing canivore for an year , still eating walnuts , peanuts , milk , fruits time to time , mainly bcz i can' t manage to have meat supply all the time, & i have small fridge , my i lost 7 kg , i still 3 or 4kg to loose , but it s tsking time , i5 feels stagnants , but i know i have to work out constantly in the gym which i struggle to keep consistance , but the main issue is the fact that i really feel lower energy all the time .
@mucotessi1178 eat eggs then. Eggs are a complete food. Have butter also. You gotta stay off all that other stuff. That's why you have low energy ❤️❤️❤️
You answered your own question, if you eat outside or carnivore it stops working. I have done the same thing so I am speaking from experience. I find I can get back into the swing by doing intermittent fasting, 16 hr fast and then nothing but meat.
❤️❤️❤️
I have switched from fasting in the morning to eating first thing in the morning and I've heard from other women that they need to eat first thing in the morning or it messes with their hormones. So I finish eating about noon or one and then I'm done for the day. It works really well for me. Men can do all right with skipping breakfast, but women not so much. What was your fasting windows?
@LisaDeeCanada I simply cannot eat in the mornings. I'm 23/1 ❤️
Carnivore can create a stress on the body, causing it to produce stress hormones like cortisol. This mild stress can make you hold on to weight. It would be exacerbated by the mental stress of trying to stick to the diet. You may want to experiment with adding a small amount of fruit or veggies, in line with the keto diet, just to tell your body that it’s safe. ❤
@stefanie.elinor absolutely not. Nothing that's not animal based. I've experimented too many times. That's what got me into this mess ❤️❤️❤️
What? Cashews are the least keto of all the nuts! Macadamias, walnuts or nothing, and definitely limit the walnuts.
Pork contains omega6 from their food.
Sausages contain god only knows what.
Dairy fat is allegedly more anti-inflammatory than tallow, whish is neutral.
Beef might contain sufficient fat content but once you had enough peotein for your daily needs you can choose to slowly eat some fat until satiety to avoid the extra carbs from the excess protein. This is tricky to get right.
Mist likely your weight is not the greatest of your remaining health problems and your body is prioritizing correctly and telling you that thru satiety/hunger.
Also, fast weight loss is not a sign of a good diet. Your body image needs time to adjust. People gain weight slowly even when eating healthy food to excess so it's not surprising the opposite is also true.
Cheers!
True.
One thing to keep in mind possibly is that your body is struggling. Dr mindy Pelz talks about what happens post menopause with the job of producing hormones previously produced in the ovaries now being made in adrenals. It may be your adrenals are overworked - if fasting a lot stresses adrenals that increase cortisol etc. I just read it, doesn’t mean I know what I’m talking about. Elizabeth Bright’s book ‘fat is good for women, menopause’ and mindy Pelz ’fast like a girl’ both excellent resources for explaining what’s going on and what to do about it. Good luck
@@gnomesb fantastic, thank you ❤️
what i would like to know .... if when you reach your goal weight how do you stop ....im going to start it hope i can get rid of my back aches and get the strenth back in my legs 76 yrs here feel like im not old but i know im sitting around way too much and ofcourse the weight gain so once again how do you stop with out bringing all the aches and pains back ... thank you for listening to me and really hope for an answer ,
You don't stop. You just adjust your protein/fat ratio ❤️
If you still eat 3x a day, I suggest that you skip the breakfast and break your fast at lunch and do intermittent fasting. I suggest that you do your exercise during your fast. I lost weight that way.
Yup, that's what I used to do. It's completely my own fault. Back at it now, though ❤
Since you are already carnivore, have you thought about maybe mixing that with the 5:2 plan? On the 5:2 plan, you take your calories down to 500 calories two non-consecutive days per week.
I do intermittent keto, specifically the 5:2 plan (more like 4:3), and I make my down days keto. Years ago, keto didn't work for weight loss, but I got all the other benefits of it. The 5:2 plan was really disappointing every time I tried it until I started lowering my down day carbs to keto levels. Everything changed in an instant.
I hope you are willing to give it a shot. Good luck!
If what I'm currently doing doesn't work (it is so far(, then I will definitely give this a go
Try fasting 1 day a week with broth, water and coffee and watch the weight drop. Have 1 day free , like a sunday where you eat what you please. Therefore the rest of the 5 days strict carnovire- watch it fall.
@sunstillshining3927 I am already 23/1 but working towards a 36hr fast 1 day a week.
There will be zero 'eat what I want' days, as I'm a carb addict. ❤️
@@carnivorecampers thanks for your response.
Yes it can not work if not disciplined. I totally get that.
However, having 1 free day shocks the metabolic rate.
Try adding a bit more variety into your diet, try some lamb and use duck fat instead of butter. Having some wild caught salmon as well and avoid the bacon which is full of nitrates and is processed. Re- addressing your “Why” and your “Goal” may also be helpful. I wish you well on your carnivore journey and most of all be kind to yourself - good luck !!!
Person should know if they're too fat or not but honestly you don't look fat to me you look great.
Muscle weights more and I would not worry, it will catch up. Who knows what diseases you had coming up that you've already cured before they've been diagnosed.
