I would be interested hearing what is your opinion on fasting? Do you do it or not?
@@Carnivore-Felix I do intermittent fasting and OMAD. To be honest since I started the Carnivore diet, just eating that one meal of meat and eggs does not make me feel hungry at all after, until the next day except for drinking water 😃
@@BruceDSouza yup, most people eating the standard Westeren diet it would be very hard to do what you do!
Not able to do longer fasting for a variety of reasons, but I've stopped eating in the morning and will often skip lunch as well. I've also stopped all snacking and have cut my carbs dramatically. I'm not full carnivore, but I am heavy on fatty meat and dairy like butter and heavy cream. I also try to get out and walk a couple hours every day, but not always perfect on that due to life happening.
@@RussHjelm it sounds like you living a very healthy lifestyle.
Keep it up!
Felix, I appreciate how articulate you are. You, explaining the benefits of fasting, are benefiting so many who may not understand why fasting is so important. I did my very first 30 day fast in 1974 when I was 29 years old. The detox for me was incredible and I still feel that one first extended fast was the best experience of my life. I am now nearly 79 years old and still doing extended fasts from time to time. Presently trying for 40 days.
@@Dakiniwoman wow. How often do you do a prolonged fast like that?
What are the benefits for you?
Kudos to your grandmother!!!!! 🙌🏽👌🏽🙏🏽😃
Yes, it was very impressive.
It was a religious fast and she said that after a few days it was easy. She lost quite a bit of weight as well.
I fast two full days a week, presently losing approx 2kg / 4.4lb per week.
Mainly fast for autophagy and to avoid getting really bad loose skin.
So far, 15kg down in the last two months, so it seems to work ok.
Nice. Good work!
It works well, so keep it up!
felix, kudos to you, keep it up bro.
Thank you for the support! It makes me want to push harder with the content! :)
16/8 for the win!💪🏻
Me too brother
Fasting on carnivore will not speed up weight loss. Eating more will speed up weight loss.
It’s true that just restricting calories will not do you much good long-term. Not for weight loss either.
But it’s not good to constantly be digesting food either. Listening to your body on carnivore is the beat thing you can do. It will tell you to eat or not.
@@Carnivore-Felix I eat when I'm hungry and eat until I'm full. For me that's 3 meals a day.
@@KmusikOne yup, that’s good👍🏼
Make no sense.. I don’t care where you get your calories from if you overeat and eat too many calories you get fat simple as that carnivore or not.. I’m on carnivore and I keep my calories at 1800-2000 a day whilst fasting.. long walks and body weight exercises and I’ve lost loads of weight..
@@Jw20152 Wrong. I eat 4000 calories a day and weigh 140 pounds.
I never fast other than when I am sleeping. For a person who is metabolically unhealthy I can see a big advantage for fasting. Personally I have much better energy and the ability to make decisions when I am eating my three meals a day. Perhaps my body has become efficient at eating and digesting my meat based diet. When I was younger and eating oatmeal for breakfast I would feel loaded down and tired after eating. Same with sandwiches and spaghetti. What you said lines up with what I have experienced.
@@chargermopar I have the same thing. Being on carnivore you actually get nutrients from you food so it makes sense to eat.
But I have noticed that intermittent fasting comes pretty natural for me if I don’t have time to eat.
@@Carnivore-Felix Like I have told people for decades, you really don't get hungry but will eat whenever meat is available.
That’s a great rule to have
I have only done 2 days or about 45hours, but I started feeling really bad so I stopped. I would like to try for longer some day. But I think it could be easier if I would start carnivore?
What have you now been eating?
Being on a carnivore/keto diet will make it so much easier. 48h will go pretty easy. Because it's a fast mimicing diet, so you will be very efficient at burning fat for fuel
I have been carnivore for a year and do not fast either. I eat two times a day if I am working; three times a day if not working. I might be too light; so I don't need to be fasting.
Most people on carnivore do not need to fast. Most benefits comes just from not eating carbs.
Listening to your body is the best thing to do. Eat when hungry and eat until you're full
I’m fasting off carbs bro. Now you’re just asking me to starve 😅
Fasting from carbs is the biggest thing. Keep it up.
Fasting is only counterproductive on a carnivore diet. We are rewarded for being good hunters and eat every day as a species. We are not lions.
@@KmusikOne Yeah, you get filled up with nutrients when you eat. So it makes sense that you also feel better and have more energy.
Just by switching to a carnivore siet and eating when you feel like it, will do you much more good than eating a standard American and forcing yourself to fast
I personally have tried fasting, and it works, but it’s not for me. I have much better results eating 4 meals and a snack or two spaced relatively evenly throughout the day.
Onto another thing. You replied to a comment on this video and said something to the effect of “only restricting calories won’t do much good long term”
I sincerely hope that you don’t mean restricting calories alone won’t do much good for weight loss.
If you mean to say that restricting calories doesn’t do much for weight loss in the long term…. You’re just blatantly saying “I don’t understand thermodynamics and have no idea how to manipulate body mass”
Eating in a deficit is literally all weight loss is. Fasting might help some people, but is not necessary at all.
You can literally lose weight eating only white rice 6 times a day if you eat less calories than your maintenance calories… but I really would not recommend that, you’d be so hungry all the time.
3500 calories is approximately 1 lbs of fat. Eating in a caloric deficit of 500 calories per day on average over the course of 5 weeks should equal approximately 5 lbs of fat loss. If you eat enough protein and stimulate your muscles with resistance training you shouldn’t lose much muscle mass.
I hope this helps increase your understanding on the matter, or that I misunderstood your reply to the other comment.
@@shart_with_force6686 yeah you did misunderstand me there a bit.
I was responding to a comment which said that you can eat as much as you want on carnivore. This is not true.
The thing which is true is that it’s a lot more effective to eat a carnivore diet, where the more calories you eat, to some point. The more calories your body will burn.
The problem with a heavy carb diet is that when you restrict calories, your body will also slow down to burn less calories. That’s why it works short term, but long-term not a good strategy.
But that’s true for any food. Increasing the intake makes your metabolism increase. That’s not carnivore exclusive. The benefit there would be that a high fat high protein diet requires your body to work harder digesting it, so you burn more calories during digestion than you would on what I would consider an optimal diet.
The slow down would happen on any diet. If you put yourself in a 750-1K calorie deficit you will lose fat rapidly, but your body will notice the lack of energy and reduce your fidgeting and make you behave more lazily. Like say you need to take out the trash but there’s stairs… if you’re in a deep deficit and the diet fatigue sets in you might just not want to do it, at all, even though you have to. This activity that is reduced automatically by your body is referred to as NEAT - non exercise activity thermogenesis.
That’s why slower weight loss is more sustainable. The diet fatigue doesn’t hit as hard or as fast. Keeping a 500 calorie deficit average will see amazing results over the course of weeks and months on any diet. It will lose anybody approximately 1 lbs per week.
So we can finally somewhat agree on something… I think.
@@shart_with_force6686 yeah it’s true for all diet in a way. But we can probably agree on that there is a massive difference in eating 2000 cals worth of junk food and a ribbeye steak.
The thing with carnivore is that when you give your body extra energy, it will not only give you excess energy but it will make your mitocondria work harder and optimize your hormones, which firther will decrease body fat and increase muscle mass.
If you just eat carbs though, your insulin will raise a lot and that will stall your body being able to lose the fat.
@@Carnivore-Felixthe influx of high carb also makes most people hungrier despite having eaten enough calories to lose weight and otherwise be satiated.
I am a huge proponent of high protein low carb for fat loss. My own macros are around 175g of protein, 74g of fat, and 130g of carbohydrates. It comes out to about 1900 calories a day and I lose about 1 lbs a week currently. I typically have most of my carbs in my post workout meal, I’ve read in a few studies that is the best time to give the body carbs because the muscles glycogen stores are depleted after exercise, which makes sense to me.
I know you’re Keto carnivore, so that bit might not matter to you, but it’s an excellent alternative for people who either cannot or do not wish to go full carnivore.
For muscle gaining though, I heavily recommend to my clients a surplus of between 250-500 per day average with the same protein intake and to bump the carbs up since for each gram of carbohydrates stored in the muscles as glycogen there are 3g of water stored with it. It also gives the body a easily digestible nutrient surplus to begin the hypertrophy process.
@@shart_with_force6686 I was eating the same way like you before carnivore.
But eating lots of carbs was just detrimental to me.
Yesterday I tried turkish yoghurt and milk for the first time in over 2 months, to sleep better. I want to experiment with a little bit of carbs, to try to improve sleep. Otherwise running on ketones is the best thing for me
How often do you fast?
@@flippinmoose I really just listen to my body. Before i was more strict doing a 16/8 but now it comes pretty naturally. If I don’t have time it will be OMAD.
But I see value in doing 36-48 fasts as well, so I might start doing more of them just to see how my body reacts.
@@Carnivore-Felix It's crazy how we forget to listen to our bodies. They are our vehicles to happiness and we start destroying them at an early age and then when we realize that we are not going to live forever we try to heal them. The popular thought is that we can quick fix them with some pill or shot or drug when all we need to do is listen to them. For example hunger. That is something that people set to a time and do not listen to their bodies.
@@flippinmoose Yeah you said it. Our bodies have been crafting itself for over 2,5 million years. So it's a pretty darn sophisticated machine.
When your body works well (eating carnivore) you can trust it 100%. It's nice when it starts giving you signs on how much fat or protein it needs, or salt.
Compare that to the SAD where you will overeat carbs until your stomach hurts.
There's a consensus among carnivores not to count or restrict calories, except when you're not eating for 3 days... Makes no sense. Don't fast.
Fasting is definitely not something you need to do on carnivore . But if you feel like not eating you shouldn’t.
Its not good to constantly eat and digest food either but if you eat large carnivore meals you will naturally not want to eat all the time.
@@Carnivore-Felix You can eat as much as you want. All day if you can... Don't think that's possible, but go for it.
@@KmusikOne Over-eating will not be good for you, even if you're on carnivore though.
You will still gain fat if you eat too much. But it's true that for the most part, the more you eat, the more you body will use up
@@Carnivore-Felix You can't overeat on carnivore, and if you do you will lose fat.
@@KmusikOne Of course you can overeat on carnivore. It's not a magical diet in that way that you could ingest a lot more energy you burn and expect your body to get rid of it.
Protein will spike your insulin and be converted into glucose, which can be stored as fat.
I do agree that you can't count the calories the same way, because your body will work on another level when you eat this way and most people will lose fat on this diet. But not everyone.
