With keto I lost 40lbs, no more diabetes, no more high blood pressure, and my 50 year bad habit of biting my nails dissapeared. I am 68.
Omg congrats! Makes sense since Keto and Carnivore diets are super similar. Congrats again you rock!!!!
because more meat and its fats increases your T levels ,as u get older they drop rapidly ,testosterone is very important for a chemically balanced brain to stop certain habits in our subconscious
Amazing !!!! How are you doing 1 year later? I just started
@@deborahwilcox631 How is it going. Finishing a two day fast tomorrow morning and am going to start Carnivore.
I started Carnivore diet about 2 wks & 1/2 ago! I don't feel I've gotten much of a significant change other than perhaps the pain in my abdominal area has decreased! I'm thinking that my BP is improving! However pooping has been a problem! I was more regular beforehand now its like taking 2-3 days! I am not hungry & can go w/o eating 4 @ least 12 to 15 hrs w/o eating! But I haven't seen any weight loss! I need 2 include more salt, cuz I was use 2 eating no salt ! think I just need 2 give this diet more time!
30 months ago today, after 40 years of always being the fattest girl around, I went keto thanks to this truly awesome lady - LOVE you, Christina!!! KetoChristina saved me from me. Though I was keto, I never did keto replacements or sweeteners and it still blows my mind that, yes, I have not cheated ONCE since. EVER. I overcame my food addiction and my binge/purge cycles which I had been on since my teen years. Also, in spite of having had arthritis for 2 decades, it went into remission - no aches and pains and no meds. BUT then, 6 months ago, I quite naturally slipped into carnivore and just WOW! Christina, what you said about food cravings and the serious question game? Same here! I still haven't felt the need for the gym - because I absolutely loathe exercise with all my heart, always have! - but I sure am in a much better mood all the time, I don't grudgingly go out for a walk and I find myself running around the house playing tag or hide and seek with my cats, and laughing my head off to the point of tears of joy - I know, crazy cat lady much?! Carnivore has set me free in many different unexpected ways. It's the beyond keto stage. It's the ultimate way of eating for life. A healing elimination diet cleansed of anything from the plant world - yes, since ALL carbs and sugars, in one form or another, come from plants! Oh, and did you notice I didn't mention my weight? That's because I stopped weighing myself. On carnivore, I lost so much body volume and visceral fat that I really do not care about the numbers on the scale anymore. Thank you, Christina, for continually leading us forward with your example. ZC on!
@@seven4098 Awww, you are so sweet! Thank you. Personally, I am amazed and inspired by most of the journeys I read and hear about in the keto and carnivore communities.
Do you take any supplements?
@@katjodaniels4233 Yes, like Christina, I take electrolytes.
I’ve seen a significant improvement in my mental health and I have zero cravings and zero hunger pangs and find it much easier to fast among many other things! I have only been doing carnivore woe for 2 weeks now.😊
Congrats by the way!
Christina, I’m so thrilled to hear about your experience with Carnivore! It actually brought tears to my eyes hearing you talk! I was carb addicted all my life until 14 months ago and Carnivore set me free from hunger and cravings and healed me of high blood pressure, Type2D, and I lost over 70lbs. I’m 69 yrs old and feel so much better than I have felt in my 50s and all of my 60s! I hope and pray your testimony about your experience with Carnivore will help many, many more carbaholics! I’m very happy for you! Thank you for your influence on leading me to Keto which paved the way to Carnivore! You’ve been a blessing in my life. 🤗
nanabot how long have you been on carnivore?
Sara Witt Witt 14 1/2 months. Oct 20,2018 I began Carnivore. Started losing weight right away, no exercise. I have about 120 lbs more To lose. 🥴
@@unbiasedobserver do you eat only protein? a variety of protein?
Sara Witt Witt ... I eat mostly plain beef burger patties with bacon, some ribeye steaks (grassfed mostly). Hard boiled eggs. And organic butter on the meat. Occasionally pork chops or pork ribs or free range chicken thighs. Most cooked by air fryer. 🤗. I eat OMAD or 2MAD. No snacking.

I've been carnivore for over a year now. Keto 6 months before that. From November 2017 to August 2018, due to spondylilothesis (fractured vertebrae that caused misalignment of spine), I was housebound, in excruciating pain, on morphine plus other pain meds, and needing a wheelchair to go to doctor's appointments, etc. Now, 1 1/2 years later, I have healed enough to walk around our neighbourhood, go shopping and do housework/yard work, have lost 90lbs and am bubbling with energy. Since becoming carnivore, my mobility has steadily improved and pain has substantially decreased (no pains meds for well over a year). I am convinced my spine is healing due to the high protein way of eating (bone is 40+% protein). Gary Fettke and a few other doctors in the Keto/Carnivore world have mentioned improved Dexa scans on with this lifestyle. Whatever it is, my life quality has improved immensely. I was waiting to die, now I can look forward to the future.
That's awesome. Keep it up!
So wonderful!!! So happy for you!
Winter Storm Wow so happy for you that you got your life back! 💐
I am so happy for you, Winter Storm! I too was diagnosed with spondylolisthesis at L4 in 2016 and suffered with chronic lower back pain for years. Miraculously over the past year and a half eating Keto, the pain has disappeared and I can walk, walk, walk! Celebrating with you!
@@janwhetstone4870 So wonderful for you!!! What a blessing! It's amazing how much life changes for the better once the pain diminishes. Congratulations to you too. :-)
I have been watching you for almost a year now and you have positively "bloomed". Your hair is long and silky now and your skin is amazing! My husband and I "binge" watched all of your vlogs/ videos and you are almost a different person from where your journey began. You have gone from a shy and slightly more introverted to a happy go lucky, happy healthy person. Keto on Christina!!!!!!!!!
Loving It On Keto I love cancer 🧟♂️🥓🍳☠️.
Christina, you look amazing and sound like you feel amazing too. Thanks for the content you put out there. I appreciate the honesty and sincerity that comes through in you vlogs. You have helped keep this 65 year old keto and down 68 pounds, that I was unable to lose for 35 years, for over 2 years now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
You are an inspiration, I’m doing it.. no more excuses! Thank you
I experienced the same thing with the plague on my teeth going away with carnivore :-) AND my eyes are so bright white now (after 5 weeks carnivore)
It's true carnivore is life changing. More and more people are discovering this, butchers shops are going to be very busy in the future, I absolutely love life now, but I seem to have changed as a person, I'm very content in myself and no longer have ups and downs I don't take any nonsense from anyone and I am achieving so much, however I have also quit drinking alcohol and coffee and this has really helped too. Please keep spreading the news you are doing a great job. I love seeing success with other people with this way of life.
You've unlocked the "Carnivore Chill!" I am 100% certain that world peace will be achieved via carnivore or hyper-carnivore diet for all. Mental calm and superior focus is unparalleled.
And as you noticed, it eliminates Addictions! World peace...and no drugs!
I think all addictions are just weird cravings driven by tge body being desperate for some nutrient(s) it needs...which are not provided by whatever the addict craves.
Especially thiamine. Suspecting highly that a very large number of people do not utilize synthetic B1 or plant-source B1... This bollixes up everything.
Javier Donut but it doesn’t destroy the planet. That is all incorrect misinformation. You haven’t dug into the data Im sorry,
@@slikasrick You are being way too kind to even reply to Javier Donut's ridiculous remarks. The only reason I think Javier watched Christina's channel was perhaps he did not read the title and understand what eating carnivore means.
Really good point! Especially about the thiamine.
Congratulations. A new butcher's shop just opened right by me, so it's perfect as I start carnivore.
Same here with plaque...last 2 visits the hygienist said I don't have anything to scratch off lol
You seem so vibrant and healthy!!
Thank you for the videos!
I usually don’t comment but I feel I must say this. I am reading in the comments where some people may feel as if Christina doing carnivore is a betrayal to keto but guys it is not. I have experience almost the same journey as she has. I have lost almost 100lbs with keto and it has saved my life. 8 months ago I was strict keto and I had stalled on keto and experiencing severe craving and had bloating. I watch a video on UA-cam about try carnivore, I think it was one of Christina’s video. And that same day I decided to just drop the veggies and just eat my meat and within 3 week I had lost 20 lbs of water that my body holding on to. All bloating left too. I had the exact energy and all craving left. Initially I was having all kinds of meat but as time went by I only crave beef. I skin was was bright. My hair was growing and healthy. My gum stopped bleeding. I look way younger. There was so much benefits. No pain. My body felt like I just want to run 🏃♀️ and don’t stop. Guys as she says it’s hard to explain the feeling but please don’t bash her until u try it. It’s not for everyone tho because I have a girlfriend who is struggling with craving and constant weight gain regardless of her efforts with calorie counting and she tried it for a week and gave up. She missed her veggies and fruit too much. So I understand it’s not for everyone but know exactly what Christina is experiencing and u just don’t want to give up that feeling. Even if I cheat I have to go right back cause my body cannot tolerate anything else.
I'm the same as you. I did keto for 11 months. Wonderful, it worked. A diet I could stay on. However I seem to loose my desire for veg. So in January started Carnivore. I love it. I'm not sure I could have if I hadn't done Keto first. It helped me rid carbs. Sugar !
Considering that carnivore is basically a subset of keto, I don't see why anyone would see that as "betrayal"...
Betrayal??? You are some freaking weird ass people. She isnt married to a diet.
I'm just watching for the first time and I agree. She's genuine and positive. Quit hating and celebrate she even shared real results vs fake pics to sell you something. #growup ....thank you for posting this comment.
Agreed! And keto is very similar to the carnivore diet so people shouldn’t feel betrayed! It’s just zero carbs instead of low carbs :)
Thank you so much for this video! I appreciate all of the information you're sharing. I get so excited for you as you're talking about your energy. I'm excited to start carnivore. Thanks again!
I’m excited to hear you are not experiencing pain. I’m 51 and can’t remember a time I didn’t have chronic pain. Keto helped but I’ll happily deal with a couple weeks of not trusting my butt if it means no more pain. I’ve never been overweight but always “skinny fat” unhealthy. Always exhausted. Always in pain. Now I have hope.
Many (most??) people that start 30 day carnivore will move on to 60 or 90 day carnivore, then decide to continue for another 90 days. I finished this second 90 days two weeks ago. Now it's my lifestyle and I cannot imagine ever going back to carbs or keto. It's quite simple: once you realize how much better you feel, you don't want to risk feeling like you did before the carnivore diet ever again. And to those who claim that this diet will shorten our life expectancy : 1. Where is your proof? 2. I'd rather live 85 healthy years than 100 unhealthy pain and disease ridden years. 3. Carnivore might be my best shot at living 100 healthy years.
i am strict keto and i love eating cruciferous veg. i don't think i could stop
@plant based jay Vegans don't live longer. You need to do some research.
Great video! Thanks so much. Today is my 12th day on carnivore diet and I feel great. I feel how you feel and I appreciate your work.
It's like you say - I wish I could give my brain to people from before I started keto so they could understand the CONSTANT battle of will between me and my coworker's drawer full of candy. I don't even think about the jujubes now. No one can possibly understand the pure, undiluted euphoria of the FREEDOM. I can't put it into words, either. They needed to have been in my brain when it was carb-fuelled to understand. Thoroughly enjoyed this chat and coffee with you!
Well done Christina! I love your channel so much! Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺 xx
Fantastic video! So happy I stumbled upon you--only within the last week! (I made sure to Like this video and will go back and make sure I gave you the Thumbs Up on others too! 😊) Really excited about the ENERGY and LACK OF CRAVINGS aspect! I started Keto (for the second time) back on Jan 1 and have lost 18 pounds but the cheating with carbs always sets me back. I think carnivore, or at least ketovore, may be the way for me to go and will definitely be doing some homework. Had to LOL when you talked about getting exercise while watching Friends; I was watching YOU while riding my recumbent bike--and even went 10 minutes longer to see your cat at the end! 😸Keep up the good work--if there is anything I want to see more of though, I have to say Geneva! Show us your new paddleboard! That blurb was very inspirational!
I loved this review of the Carnivore diet! I'm on my second week, and I feel great!! I'm a Keto to carnivore convert. Thanks for such encouraging results!
That’s why I love your videos so much, the amount of information you give us is priceless. Thank you Thank you Thank you 🙏🏽
I have just stumbled on your wonderful channel, and OMG, you are saying some things that have been so true for me, all my adult life!
I have tried keto in the past and had great success but was never able to break away from my carb addiction (toasted bread was my demon!) Notice I can now say "was"!
I started carnivore in July 2019, and have been doing that in a sort of keto way...I still eat salad greens. But I haven't had the amazing weight lost, energy, or healing that other's have had...obviously it's time to go plant free!! Thank you for posting about your journey!! So inspiring! I'm a new subscriber for sure!!
welcome to the ketofam xxx
I am so happy to have watched this video. I thought I was the only person to feel like you described. I would not have been able to describe it but you did very well. I am not carnivore yet... but I have found that the closer I am to carnivore the more I feel like your description. Strict Keto less than 20 total carbs consistently makes me feel that way... I need to give carnivore a try... Its a discipline issue... but I'll get there... I'm hooked on this feeling... I just feel BETTER.... thanks for sharing....
Wow, I’m so glad I clicked on your channel. I have been contemplating trying the Carnivore, I’ve been doing Keto for going on 2 years now but need a change do to cravings. I am going to do this. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
debb ingle April 2018 for me.
Hey, Christina .. Just "found" you, and you are enchanting! I laughed out loud a couple times during this serious, informative chat! I just made a 1 week trek into carnivore after 2 years ( -60lbs:) of keto.. And this is the encouragement I needed to keep going!! I loved the Carb Dragon reference- SO apt!!
Glad you liked it!! ☺️
I’m a dental hygienist, so the reason why we build up so heavy behind our lower anterior is because we have salivary glands right there. I think the reason why it’s less apparent in people on carnivore because of the pH levels changing in our mouths. Also, most bacteria in our mouth live off of sugars and carbs. I’m assuming because if the high lipids and proteins it makes it hard for plaque you accumulate on your gingiva and teeth, also your mouth is becoming more neutral. Just know that if you’re someone who has periodontal disease, please understand the bone loss from the bacteria WIL NOT grow back. All you can do is prevent it from ever getting worse. You can do that by continuing this health diet and continue proper dental home care. 🦷
Actually, you CAN grow back jaw bone. Bone is living tissue, but it takes years of continuing with the low/zero carb way of eating and using one of the new treatment like EMP gels.
Thanks for the info Sarah!
Sorry @Sporty Business but YOU CANNOT grow it back. Do not lead people astray, the only way to replace it would to be via bone graft, or injecting stem cells. People need to understand once some damage is done, it cannot be undone. If you have radiographs of patients before and after who grew back their own bones with periodontal disease I’d love to see it, because that form of science does not exist in my field. You can reverse demineralization in your teeth, you can stop incipient cavities, you can maintain your periodontal health, but you cannot grow back bone. Just like you cannot regrow nerve cells once the are destroyed.
@@sarahjohnson9241 how do bones heal in fractures?
@@sarahjohnson9241 Since I started Carnivore, nerve damage from a surgical incision has resolved by about 50%, it seems. The incision has been there for 17+ years without change. This tells me that nerves do not heal on a diet that includes plants. On a Carnivore diet, results are different.
Hi Christina, thank you for your videos. Your videos are so supportive and full of take away information. I'm 2.5 years Keto and recently leaning toward carnivore (but still retaining some safe carbs to adjust for age and appetite suppression) I'm 70 soon and feeling the best ever. Down to a good 126 lbs (5' 4"), no medications, eyesight improved down from 275+ to 150+ correction, no more arthritis symptoms and no aching anywhere. Skin texture has changed to smooth and soft with small pores on face and neck, hair has grown thick and long (used to be fine and wouldn't grow past my shoulders). Love this life style and wish my older lady friends would take a hint and do a little research to improve their lives.
Wow! Very interesting about your eyesight!
That’s fantastic. I’ve been thinking about going carnivore. I really am going to try it! Thanks for helping us on our journey. I can’t wait for the energy boost.
So thrilled to hear this amazing result! I go between keto and carnivore (for a year now), and I feel so amazing! After my first two months of keto, the more carnivore I went, the better I felt. The better my digestion got, the more energy I had. So, now I find I feel best keeping the veg really low (except fermented veg) and stick with a high meat diet (2 meals a day), mostly eggs, bacon, lamb, and steak. And after I hit that year mark it was like someone had given me an amazing gift of a new body-new bones, new muscle tone (I'm SO freaking strong), and I noticed the plaque thing on my teeth too! I feel just stunningly good (and half my age!). Everyone keeps asking me when I'll go back to eating "normal" again. Everyone's worried about me eating so much bacon and steak (so ridiculous while they're eating cake and cookies). But, good lord, why would I ever eat any other way?!
First and foremost congratulations on your amazing journey. I’ve been following for about a month now but started keto back in November 2019 I’ve noticed how much I feel better. I was slowly killing myself with an enormous amount of carbs and sugar and fat. It was hard for me to get up in the morning. Was sick to my stomach all the time. Had no energy! 30 min after eating I would crash hard to the point where I’d fall asleep “narcolepsy” very dangerous state to be in. When I got my yearly blood results back they called and told me I needed to be seen immediately.... triglycerides were 1000 major inflammation. My doctor said no carbohydrates what so ever! You need to walk Every day for the rest of your life. I really did do some damage to my body but I was determined to get some weight off and change my diet. Did not want to be on meds my whole life. First week no carbs lost 8lbs felt better within 2 days I’m 3 months in and I feel 90% better my teeth are better to! I’ve only lost about 22 lbs (still overweight) but I’ve lost more in inches and I’m down 2 sizes. My depression has taken a hiatus 😁 no carbs no sugar and exercise have made my life a lot better. #goingthedistance #carnivore #nocarbsplease #happy #ketochristina
So Delighted For You "Carnivore Christina" Thanks
I love your enthousiasme because I’m very happy eating carnivore as well. So relatable 😄😂🥳
I always love your videos.
So authentic xx
Great video. You look wonderful and you have inspired me to go for it!
I have watched this in the past but watching it again because I am 2 weeks into carnivore and seeing such great changes already. If anyone is watching a year later like me, I’d say just try it. That will be the only way you will know how it works for you.
I just love you! I love how you explain, describe, stumble over your words! I can agree with almost everything you say and feel! I love carnivore! And yes, keep up with the electrolytes for a good while!
I wasn't sure if Carnivore was for me, but you are starting to convince me. Thank you for being real and sharing your knowledge. I really love watching your videos! CONGRATULATIONS on your success!!
Your descriptions of the peace describe well what I have felt. For the first time in my life, I am in charge of my food rather than it controlling me.
I WILL TRY THE DARK CHOCLATE IF I GET A CRAVING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CARNIVORE BLOGS. HELPED ME ALOT
Cannot wait to feel the freedom of being out of carb prison. It’s exhausting living with that constant battle in your head. Carnivore day 1 today coming off keto. I am so excited
Wonderful results!! Congratulations!!
This by far one of my favorite videos of yours. I will try carnivore again but with IF 16/8 because I hate exercise too, but I love walking and gardening( which I can't do at the moment 😅 because of all the ice and snow we have)....
I'm convinced and inspired by your words Christina and by reading the comments below. I'm off to the market in the morning to stock up and Carnivore it will be for the next 30 days. Wish me luck in Florida. I'm determined!
Good luck to you!!!!
Great video, I’m going to give it a try, I’ve just had a close encounter with Vega sim, ( for a few weeks) this sounds like a much better idea !!
you seem so much more happier! following you for a while now. I am dabbling with carnivore just eating animal product on a couple of days in the week. Been sort of dirty Keto for 2 years and lost 3 stone. but needed something different. finding with carnivore i only eat once a day. looking forward to your next videos x
Great video. I am gathering info now because I want to start Carnivore in a few days. I am in the Carnivore Facebook groups too hehe. The kitty is sweet prrr haha. Best regards from Zürich!
The hair growth is an awesome NSV! -Emily
Hi Christina xx Iv not seen your channel for a while as I fell off the wagon miserably! But I'm 5 weeks in again now and have already lost 16 pounds! Yay I'm a defo sugar and carb addict but this time Iv managed to go the whole time without sugar! And very low carbs. Anyway I couldn't believe how long and lush your hair looks! It really looks healthy and really suits you longer. I can't wait to watch all your carn vids now and I'm always having steaks but thought I was having to much! It's so good to see you again and your going to keep me motivated seeing you in such a good & happy place! Carry on hon take care & much love x
I'm a few weeks into carnivore, living in Kenosha, and just ran across your videos. It's funny I also ran into a guy in Gurnee who is on carnivore. I was feeling kind of alone our here, but not so much since I've started running across more people.
Thank you for the info. Can you add some pictures of before and after? those really motivate us to keep going.
You are hilarious, "Put it into a coma" haha, you're so awesome! Thanks for the video, great insight!
I am on day 6 of a strict carnivore diet, I am satisfied with my food intake and have no cravings but find myself being tired earlier in the evening than usual. Hopefully this will pass, I intend to give it a full 30 days and am hoping for more energy and some weight loss ;) Great video, good to hear about your results
I have been doing carnivore for 7 months and have never felt better. I've suffered for years with IBS/constipation etc. No more gut issues and my energy is through the roof. BTW your skin looks fantastic!
wendy melillo and hair as well!!!
You have great ads before your vlogs. Love the kitties. 💜
I was doing carnivore until I got sidetracked moving my daughter and myself and everything was put in storage for 2 months. But before the move I was doing carnivore. My ketones (blood) were around 4, I felt like a kid again (I'm 67). My hip stopped hurting. I had so much energy. You have just motivated me to start again. Thank you soooo much for this. I don't remember if you said it, but you don't need to push yourself to exercise. Just keep eating carnivore and you will want to move. Makes it easy. And yes! The cravings go away! I'm still unpacking and have found my food scale but not my weight scale. Maybe I don't have to worry about finding that. Thanks so much for this!
Since I have been doing carnivore I’m very mellow in mood but I have energy, my joints don’t hurt and my carb cravings have lowered to the point that I can fight back and not cave in 🥰
Disaster Pants.....lol. My Mr just said last night “Never trust a fart”! You make Carnivore sound sooo glamorous😉
*just found your channel here to stay, new since December 2020 my skin it's so much better 45year old woman less wrinkles, sleeping better mental clarity*
This WHOLE process of keto is a NEVER ENDING learning process. It is AMAZING the changes that go on. Being blunt the fat shifts and going away which is a HUGE unusual experience in itself. Simply bc that process didn't happen before, it was ALWAYS gaining. Nails improved; having strength and arch shape, instead of flat. Yes teeth cleaning is minimal (may put hygienist out of a job!) That being said I'm realizing what foods I actually don't feel good on. For example fresh tomatoes makes my hand hurt. Leafy greens gives me the rumbles. Which I've eaten huge salads all my life, didn't have that experience bf this. Salads are pretty much out. Early on I would try a process food, I'd have cow paddy stool (sorry for being so blunt) the next day. So I don't miss that at all. Lol. Becoming carnivore comes naturally because your slowly eliminating the foods that make you ill. THANK YOU for sharing your results.
I love how you had to struggle to find the words to describe how GREAT you feel.
I describe it like Neo awakening from the Matrix.
Great video
Hi Christina, I can totally relate to you, I've been keto since last Aug 2019 and I had the same reactions to energy, its hard to explain it, however I have now been off keto due to a injury but I plan to get back on it at some point I broke my heel and in a boot for 6 weeks then rehab, I'm lazy person at times too but with the keto and carnivore I had a lot of energy too. I cant wait to feel good again and be able to walk. Thank you for your tips and all your experiences.
Finally you are exercising! Go girl!👍
Christina and viewers, I went on Carnivore on March 2nd, 2021. I’ve been working from home for the past year and putting on more and more lbs. I have been on Carnivore for 30 days. I’ve lost 12.2 lbs, my energy level has been good, I actually feel better, I wake up before my alarm some mornings, my eczema is cleaning up. I’ve long suspected that I’ve food allergies, because I have asthma, eczema and really bad environmental allergies. Prior to going on the diet, I felt bloated all the time with GERD, heartburn. Just felt generally unhealthy. I had to do something different. , some will say this is a drastic diet. But for me, feeling impossibly overweight and unhealthy called for drastic changes. I HAD to do this. Today I had shrimp and lobster for lunch, I don’t feel deprived, I eat when I’m hungry and I now listen to my body. What happens on this diet is you get to the point where you aren’t binge eating, and cravings go away, in the beginning I was eating 3 meals a day, now I’m down to two. For me what works is eating in a 4-5 hr window. I typically eat between 7am-11am or 11am 4pm. I have found that eating later contributed to my heartburn and inability to sleep. By eating at that time I’m also inadvertently combining intermittent fasting. However if I’m hungry later I DO EAT. But found my weight loss was most successful when I kept to this 4-5 hr eating schedule. I eat breakfast and lunch in that window and skip dinner. I also have been documenting what I eat daily, this is important to help me recognize what I ate and at what time that may cause me to go up in weight or down in weight. For example the other night I ate ham and cheese about 7 pm. Next day I gained weight. Currently I’m not working out either, just changing the way I’m eating. I’ve not cheated or felt the desire to do so, because I was ready for change. If you are at the same point, give carnivore a try for 30 days. Then reassess how you feel. I’m now moving into month 2, feeling very optimistic. By the way a dear friend suggested I try this diet, she has lost more than 90 lbs. on carnivore. So, I know it works, it’s not a diet it’s a new way of life for me.
Fabulous, Rita! Lol, thank you for sharing your story. I’m excited to begin eating this way, will be transitioning from keto and will give this a good month to see if I get good effects like you and Christina did.
Congratulations!!! FYI, the ham-and-cheese gain was probably just water. It's pretty hard to gain even an actual pound of *fat* in one day 🙂
I actually had an increase in plaque/tartar when transitioning from keto to carnivore. I *think* it's related to oxolate dumping😬.... hope it improves soon! Great video!

Everything that has happened to you has happened to me, well apart from the toilet situation. Energy! No cravings, Focus, mood, peace. I was suicidal everyday, this carnivore diet saved me. I'm just as gobsmacked as you are. It's the best thing! Never get bored of beef either haha. My hair and skin looks and feels better. I watch friends too love it! Lol
That was wonderful, I'm right along side with ya, 18 months keto, started carnivore jan 2nd, it's like, holy shit, I'm finally turning back into myself, carnivore is the answer for many of us, turning the poor put upon ship around at 61, thank you for your videos, they've eased the journey
Charlotte Dickson did you have umm bathroom issues?
@keto_christina can you eat any meat on the carnivore diet? Or beef only? I hope this isn’t a dumb question. I literally just heard of this diet today. Thanks in advance
Thanks for the video Christina! Very happy for you 😊 Question: do you still drink wine 🍷 or any no-carb liquor 🥃 while on Carnivore?
Great question 🤔
Not too much red wine is OK.
Hi Christina, I just started carnivore about three weeks. My goal is to reverse my diabetes. I am listening to all different videos on how do carnivore diet. Your video help me on my journey.
Interesting. I moved from 2 years of Keto to Carnivore. Beef, water and salt, right off the bat. No diarrhea. None. But I hear lots of people experience that.
It may sound strange, but I would love to have to deal with the diarrhea everyone keeps talking about.
I'm one of the unlucky ones who struggle with constipation rather than diarrhea on the diet. I tried eating more fat to help digestion, more often than not that ended up with diarrhea and undigested fat in the stool.
I also take magnesium citrate. More so to get some extra magnesium, but also for the slight laxative effect it can have when you go over the recommended dose. That has also seen mixed results, more on the "small to no difference" side of things.
My latest experiment has been with some extra fiber. I do eat a select few veggies that I know agree with me and been trying to eat slightly more of them. Not much difference either so far.
So yeah, generally I've seen a lot of improvements but still trying to figure this one out.
@@roslin8060 Try coconut oil. It is not Carnivore, but it is not digested either. It goes right to the liver and is used for energy, but it definitely has a laxative effect. SO good for you too.
@@deniserollick1746 I don't mind it's not carnivore. I'm only about 90% carnivore anyway. However, I used it before and have a suspicion I might be allergic to it.
It didn't do any wonders for my skin and I got all itchy when I had it in food.
It's sad, since it's one of the best non-animal fats available, but such is life.
Ros Lin You probably need to check out Butter Bob. He is amazing and the results are great! He is so humble and he explains things on a level of understanding. Start out with "Butter Makes Your Pants Fall Off". It's along the lines of the carnivore diet. Check him out! 💛💕
@@lindasmilesrfree6067 I will, thanks a bunch. :)
I started Keto, August 2017 ... I lost fat and inches, more energy, mental clarity, better sleep, better moods, fibromyalgia symptoms gon, pre-diabetes symptoms gone, hair and nail growth ( I take collagen as well), better skin better lobito (like a 35 year old woman)... I transitioned to carnivore March 2019... One thing I noticed is my lobito is like an 18 year old boy and my energy lasts longer.... WHen I eat carbs now, I feel like crap...
Well done I'm definitely going to try carnivore x
Still in the adjustment period myself. Have had struggles with my electrolytes for years, so that's my current biggest struggle. But I'm getting there!
The advice about ignoring the scale is particularly good. It’ll drive you to wrong conclusions easily, the fluctuations.
Mika Salakka definitely putting mine away
I’ve been doing strict keto less than 20 gm carbs a day for a good while. Started carnivore and I feel so much healthier. Crazy!
I'm curious, what electrolytes do you use. And you definitely seem like you feel fantastic. I can't wait to see what happens.
From what you've said I could probably really benefit from going carnivore.......it's just a bit scary to start.....I've been reducing the veggies bit by bit and am only having a very small amount......working on it!
I'm keto. The weight did pop off easily, but as a vegetarian keto l am envious of you, my husband and my children. I've been a "psychological" vegetarian for 25 years, meaning it's not for "trend" or trying to "save the planet bs" , it's because I can't bring myself to eat meat, ever. My family however are l stress very much meat eaters and l encourage it.
This vid however still interests me a lot, thanks for the upload.
Keto as a vegetarian gave me the same toilet issues 🤣, that passes 👍. Two stone off since January 1st.
Keep up the great work 👍👍
For your own heath, do eat meat. Humans were not meant to be primary plant eaters
@@shaungordon9737 yeah I'll get right on that. Clearly you have NOT read my post. I'll just chomp down on a huge bloodied steak after 25 years of finding the idea totally disgusting...eh... No. Yer grand.
Btw I'm perfectly healthy and very clear on what l need nutritionally.
I would state that everyone’s carnivore experience is different. I’m three weeks in on a meat only carnivore diet. I have not experienced any diarrhea in the three weeks since starting carnivore. I’ve dropped nearly 21 lbs from 302 to 281. I am a 53 yr old, 6’2” solidly built guy, but have room to tighten things up. I am diabetic as well. My glucose readings have seriously dropped from @ 150-160 to being consistently down in the 100 teens or below. My doctor reduced my insulin intake of Novolog and I’m reducing my Lantus to one shot a day at 10 units less. My Janumet has been cut from 1000mg twice a day to just one! I was on a low carb intake before carnivore, now with zero carbs and eating only meat, I’m overwhelmed with the results. More energy, more mentally alert, sleeping better, with no cravings at all...NONE. I eat when I’m hungry and never any other time. I consume about 1.5 - 2 lbs of beef, pork, eggs with salt, butter, sour cream, hard cheeses on the side per sit down meal. When I do eat, it always tastes like the best meal ever! LOL. It is truly amazing. I’m able to do all this on a 24+ hour fast. My goal is to work up to a 48 fast. But I just don’t have any desire to eat anything else. My long term goal is to get down to 210 lbs and to either be totally a non-diabetic or simply managing it without meds. Carnivore is no joke. If you are committed, the life style takes hold and it’s the easiest diet to be on.
Your wonderful and you are an inspiration off good positive clean knowledge
Great video
I’ve been eating carnivore for just one week. I transitioned from a mostly clean organic, but higher carb diet to a keto diet in January. Then after some research I decided to try carnivore beginning February 1. What I’ve noticed is that I’m sleeping much more, even falling asleep in the middle of the day, which never happens, unless I’m sick. So...what I think is happening is that my body is in major healing mode. I’ve committed to at least a month, and possibly longer. I’m looking forward to the energy :-) but it’s not there yet. On a side note, my carb cravings are indeed gone.
I experienced the same sleepy lethargy. After 6 weeks I started having lethargic days followed by good days. Major healing signs for a number of issues.
You mention taking electrolytes twice a day. Which electrolytes are you taking and in what form? Thanks.
PS: love your chanel and your honesty.
All the talk about toilet trauma while eating carnivore makes me super excited to give this a try
Funny!
I expect a full and detailed report!
@@KetoChristina LOL...With pictures???
I didn't get it but my wife did, I was jealous.
A week into carnivore and my stomach has calmed. No bathrooms emergencies just like when I was on keto, consuming a lot of fiber. Keto was amazing but doing carnivore eased my IBS.
The way you describe your energy levels is EXACTLY how I felt/do feel on carnivore! I can definitely see that you have more energy in this video! I don't know if this helps for anyone wanting to do carnivore... because you mentioned the tiny bites of meat? I do slow roast and my meat is nice and soft and easy to chew. I'm a lazy eater, lol, and I hate having to work to break my food down. :) I'm also kind of emotional eater too. I absolutely LOVED the mental benefits you mentioned. THIS has been my main focal point for looking into these diets. It has remedied many people's depression. Keto was good? But Carnivore was what really did it for me. I have heard from many that keto was kind of a wonky experience for them, but when they did carnivore it was amazing as it changed everything for them.
I couldn't continue on carnivore. I didn't know it at the time but keto, carnivore and fasting were wrecking my thyroid and my metabolism. I uploaded a new video about it. You can watch it here - ua-cam.com/video/nyPt8wqv2eI/v-deo.html
@@KetoChristina Yes! I think I just commented on that video too.. On one of your videos I candidly admitted that I weened off carnivore and now I eat salads and healthy carbs with my meals again too... Actually... I kind of felt like I had TOO much energy.... It was nice? And I certainly felt my best when I was on it? But it was almost too much... like I couldn't sit and relax. Hypo-mania can be linked to thyroid problems so you being cognizant of your thyroid issues is actually a really good thing. I think these diets reset our system and digestive tract, but long term I have no idea how that would be for a race of people that are very adapted to consuming carbs daily. Thank you again for all of your knowledge!
The last time I popped in to see your channel you super healthy hair was the first thing I noticed! I’m going out and buy steak & butter!
are you eating only organic or just graas fed beef? beef normally are grainfed. I am excited to see your success.
Just to add to this real quick... I'm also really glad that you brought up eggs. I often think the reason that people don't do well on keto is because they are still incorporating eggs and dairy and that might be one of the reasons they still don't feel well on keto. I also think it's because they keep trying to replace the high protein with high fat. Thanks again... you are truly inspiring!
I've left keto for 40 days. All I want us steak too. Due to prices I cant do it daily. I also eat ground beef, pork , Seafood, eggs, sausage cheese and bacon. No desire for chicken. I'm still using heavy whipping cream in my coffee. I'm full of energy too.
How long have you done carnivore. I am shifting from Keto to carnivore. I lost 8 pounds in 5 days. I did Keto the this past weekend and will started carnivore again Monday.
I am trying to lose weight. I was fat all my life. I am now down to 235. Hoping to get under 200 pounds by May or so. Just a personal goal.
@@Mark_Knight about 45 days, easy shift for me. As I was not doing all the Keto fake meals. I just ate veg and meat. Chaffel made of eggs cheese. So I let go of the veg. You will get some loose bowls, make sure to eat salt and take magnesium at first. You will have to adjust your own body to see if your eating to little or to much of it. I now take just the salt .Dr Shawn Baker is good to hear on u tube. He says drink water when thristy, eat when hungry, eat as much as you need ,stop when full. I do two meals a day. I eat at 11;30 am and 4:00 in afternoon. A snack of meat or eggs at 7 pm then done eating for the day. I have more energy . Good Luck
@@NIgirl923 Thanks for the response. I currently have a smaller eating window, between 2pm and 3pm. Kind of Omad.
I do have some coffee with MCT oil and or creamer most mornings.
I am trying to do carnivore. I will have to listen to Shawn Baker as he seems to be the carnivore guy.
@@Mark_Knight he is and he makes it so easy. Eat the meat, drink the water and salt. No Carnivore Police with him.
Lol im laughing because i feel exactly the same ive come off atkins and gone carnivore and im loving it ! Cant believe my energy levels and i agree i love steak and been eating Aberdeen angus every day ill never get bored of it ! Great channel hun lm from liverpool great to hear yr lovely accent! Im losing fat. inches weight my shoulder pain and knee pain is gone , i can work out fine my cravings have gone. Whats yr opinion on cheat day? Or a break from keto or carnivore periodically to reset or reboot?
Cheat days are probably worse on carnivore and will hit you harder. I wouldn't.
Yes your right about the weight of a pound of fat compared to a pound of muscle they weigh the same, but muscle takes up a WAY SMALLER SPACE.
I couldn't wear my eye glasses anymore, when I would put them on it would be really blurry, I was seeing better without my eye glasses. So I went to the eye doctor and he lowered my prescription, he said the glasses I had for years were just too strong for me now. My eyes actually improved since I started keto, two years ago, but right now I am more carnivore. I am so shocked!! P.S. I never have cravings on keto??
Everyone's body is different! Best guess you weren't processing whatever you were eating before very well and it was causing issues. I dont do well with high fiber foods, I end up in a little ball crying in pain.
Anna G Yeah, I found out I had diabetes and high blood pressure in 2009 and now I am off my diabetes pills and high blood pressure pills, I am almost 61 years old and I never thought my eyes would get better when I got older, so cool!
I think I'm having this as well... My glasses are getting blurry... Gotta get to the eye Dr :)
I've noticed the difference in people's eyes after they've been eating carnivore a while. One person's eyes seemed more open, larger (I've always wished my eyes were bigger). Perhaps eyeball shape changes eating this way. That could have an impact on vision.
Cheryl af This happened to me too! Last time i went to the eye doctor he said my prescription was now what it was 8 years ago!
I mentioned the improvement in my receding gums a while ago. It's just continuing to get better and my dentist is amazed with my progress. She asks me what I'm eating every time I see her
I have receding gum. Carnivore helped you with that? Wow
@@lisag18 I've been keto for almost 2 years, carnivore only recently, but what really helped improve my gums were the intermittent fasting with occasional 3 day fast around every 6 months. That's when the body can heal by absorbing poor cells and making new ones
Yep my gum disease disappeared in week two
@@slikasrick is that receding gums? I have several areas receding and inflamed gums.
@@lisag18 raw milk, I hope it helps.
I've been ketovore for about 3 months, still waiting for this mental clarity everyone talks about. I think I sleep better, weight coming off very slowly, I'll keep trying for the health benefits, staying off of carbs.
This is so much like my carnivore experience! Steak and butter, and I CRAVE it. But eggs are a TOTAL no go. It's been hard because on keto I was all about the eggs and bacon! But the steak is amazing, my eye lashes are looking GREAT and my hair is growing like crazy
Oh and about the electrolytes: I've found that adding salt to my water sorts out my electrolyte issues. I add salt to my steak too, but I haven't needed to supplement since the first couple weeks of diarrhea.
Great going! Ive been on Keto since Oct. 1st I am 44 lbs down. From 230 to 186. I feel the same. I just had some keto fudge tonight. I think I had too much.
Congratulations on your result!
Were you using that collagen powder in your coffee before doing carnivore? I ask because I kept anticipating tummy issues since starting and no issues first week...then got my first order of Perfect Keto collagen and put it in my coffee this morning = Major Upset!!!!
Was it plain or chocolate? Always look at every ingredient when you have some kind of reaction.
Carolyn O'Connor It was the caramel one, but it turns out it’s either the carnivore transition or I have a tummy bug, I have not had the collagen since that day and my tummy is still flipping out randomly 😕
Suffering from MS flare today in the legs - starting Carnivore today - hoping it helps calm my fire nerves! Thanks for your insight and story!
Did carnivore help?
@@Cookingathome59 it did not - I kept getting worse - maybe some kind of die-off reaction - no one knows - I’m going to have to go back on medication soon. I’ve gone back to Keto - the green vegetables seem to settle better for now than just fatty meat. I know, I know, it makes ZERO sense.
Sorry to hear. Best to you. Battle on.
Carnivore from Vancouver. Lost weight. Feel fantastic. Cured my T2. My new life. Carnivore.
Really interesting TY! I've had so many improvements in my health since going Keto about 6 months ago. Thinking I should give this a try ;-) only beef of other meats as well? No fish?
You can do any seafood and any kind of meat or poultry, but because beef seems to be the most nutrient-dense across the board, it's what's most eaten.
@@carolynoconnor8567 Thank you!
Everything I read about heart health and cancer suggests limiting red meat to once a week. I have always had high cholesterol. Is the carnivore diet going to raise my cholesterol even higher?
