    This needs to be said. I knew there was something going on but I just discovered you when I found your carnivore cookbook. No one.knows your battle but you. Don’t let trolls define you. All of us who put ourselves out there are brave. Period. Maybe the message is bigger than their jealousy or meanness 🤷🏻‍♀️ onward. You’re doing a positive thing ❤️

      ...again, NOT JUDGING... just wanting to know...
      Thank you for your honesty.
      I did NOT find -very- -many- "any" who have gone "carnivore" that are as thin as you are and it was something that I just wanted to understand.
      (Also just recently saw a fairly mean video by a vegan: "carnism is cancer" ...a very mean and unbalanced video...)
      Thank you for being honest AND authentic... both are VERY rare qualities in this world!

      I wish people would stop commenting on other people's body & appreciate who they are.
      Unless you are 4 yo, or delusional, we know this will never happen. In life what happens to you does not matter as much as how you react to what happens to you. Therefore, I am suggesting for parents to teach resilience to their children. Teach them to grow a thick skin, and how to feel good in their own skin, no matter what.
      At the end of the day, each of us should be able to remind self that "what you think of me is not any of my business. Please, note that I am not saying that one should not complain about haters' mean BS. They should, all I am saying is regardless of what people say it is each one of us responsibility to build a thick skin as haters are here to stay, and make the world go around with the rest of us.
      Anyway, hoping that your daughter can soon find a way to ignore the haters & be happy.

    You look great! I think with as much weight that we have been putting on over the years, we have lost sight of what healthy and slim should look like. Large framed or small framed, no one should ever be bullied. We don't know everyone's backstory and how much of a struggle they may be going through. I was thin growing up until I was 22, I have gained about 80 lbs between 22 and 50, it sucks, but I'm working on it, and you ARE helping🌻

    My prayers are with you through this difficult time. I have lost 85 pounds with a keto diet and then hit a long plateau. I started carnivore a couole of weeks ago and have lost 8 pounds. While I want to lose another 14 to get to my goal, I am very aware of the possibility of losing too much. My mother has been underweight for many years. She is on hospice and is under 80 pounds. I have tried so many different things to help her gain weight and none of it worked. People don't realize how hard it can be for some people to gain weight and she is one of them. I also work as a speech therapist with patients who are underweight. There really is no way to get someone to eat more when that is not something they want to do. I have been learning about ways to maintain once I reach my goal to avoid losing more or gaining again. Anyways, I just wanted to say that I do understand and I'm sorry you have had to deal with such negativity. Thank you for the information you share and having such a good heart that inspires you to reach out to help so many. God bless.

    Hey Maria…we love you and appreciate what you are doing for us all. You are right…hurt people truly hurt people. I’ve wondered why you’ve been posting less lately and now I know. Please don’t let the nay sayers dissuade you. Those of us whom you help on a daily basis are so grateful for your content. You clearly have a lot on your plate and I’ll pray for you and Craig. I’m sorry to hear about his condition. Truly sorry. You have inspired me to stop longer term fasting and carb consumption. I bought several of your cookbooks a few years ago and loved the recipes,but didn’t realize how debilitating carb withdrawal is. I also didn’t realize the extend of my carb/sugar addiction until last month. I started BBB&E (beef, butter, bacon and eggs) last December 1st for 30 days and never felt better. I dropped 13 pounds and seemingly drained by body of inflammation overnight. I’ve been on “Ketovore” since January 1st adding back chicken, fish, a bit of dairy and seasonings. I’m going back on BBB&E February. Once I get through February, I’ll start adding back foods to see what my sensitives are. I clearly have a problem with plant foods, just not sure which ones yet. But with you’re help, I’ll get there! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO! You are truly an inspiration to us all!

Healthy! Glad! Energetic! Motivated! I thought "Yes! she is doing it right,just look at her!" Maria, i do not have health problems, i was not overweighted. Your way of eating Keto have change my mental health and changed they way i react to life's difficulties ,gave me energy to give to my kids and my work, more focus and i am finally calm!

    I'm sorry people are so mean. This happened to me. I was called hussy at work when I lost all my weight. Since then, I've gone up and down 3 times 🤦🏻‍♀️ we have to remember to do what's best for ourselves.

    Please don't listen to trolls! I'm so excited about your content and recipes, I've been rewatching videos over and over. Tried variations of IF, keto, carnivore, and 80/20 for over a year, nothing worked! I'm so excited to be starting my psmf journey, the Maria way. Prayers to Craig. Much love and gratitude to you both. 💕

    The people that do this to you are the ones feeling that are trying to project their pain on you. Not sure if you read it but Four Agreements book says it all. They have an audible. It’s hard but once you listen to this book it will help you not to listen to it. Because if you listen to it then it becomes a part of you. Just don’t listen. You’re beautiful and helping so many. I appreciate you and your honesty. We need you and thank you for your videos.

    Aww. I love this video and your transparency...makes me a bigger follower of yours. 🙂 You are so down-to-earth. Yes, you are slim BUT healthy and an inspiration to many of us out here. There are always going to be haters out there BUT I believer there are more Maria lovers, so please continue to make your videos. Your videos have been such a blessing to me and my health journey. Your recipes are amazing and always so delicious. I was on keto for many years and could not understand why I wasn't losing weight. UNTIL, I listened to your PSMF videos and light bulb! I knew I always felt better eating more protein but kept hearing the keto gurus talk about higher fat. Now I'm eating more protein and doing PSMF 2x a week. My A1C down to normal and I feel great. So THANKS TO YOU, I'm on the right track and losing the weight I wasn't on a higher keto fat eating with OMAD. Absolutely adore you! Thank you Maria. ❤

    Maria, I’m so sorry people feel the need to comment on your body. I don’t think it’s ever ok to comment on a person’s body for any reason. Please don’t let them run you off, there are so many MORE people who appreciate you in this space than there are those who criticize and we would miss you dearly. As long as you’re feeling healthy and energized, let that be enough. As a person who has had comments made about my larger body and my much smaller body, my heart goes out to you. Keep putting your beautiful light out into the world! ♥️
