Not just related to people and how we eat, one of the best lessons I have learned in my life is: What other people think of me is none of my business.
I do the pre-view a restaurant's menu beforehand & decide what I'll order, in advance too.
I finally adopted the same mentality on peoples opinions of me, it is so freeing isn't it??
I offended a friend not meaning to. She was coming to our house to stay with her husband and wanted to bring zucchini squash. I told that was fine but I’ve started eating my meat again and trying to leave that stuff out of my body but I told her bring it with you and you all can it it and I’ll make some meat on the side for me and anyone else who wants it. We got a call later she wasn’t coming but her husband was. So I think she was really offended that I didn’t want to eat it. Some people get offended really easy, but I love what you ladies are teaching me.
Kelly’s videos get a thumbs up from me even before they start playing :)
I’ve brought Wendy’s burger patties to a party before and have also eaten in advance of a party. After the first time, you realize it’s just not a big deal! Same goes for the first time I went to a party and didn’t drink alcohol.
This practice has also been a great, unexpected lesson on humility; if I go to a gathering, I should go with the mindset of how I can be a blessing to others and not overly concerned with myself and how I may be perceived.
I love that comment, you are absolutely right - how we are there to bless others 🙌💛☺️
100% agree with all that! And Kelly’s videos getting a thumbs up before I even watch it 😆
Yep, you're spot on. I haven't drank alcohol for 17 years, and literally know one notices or cares. I'm new to carnivore and it feels similar to when I was first sober and trying to navigate social situations. A lot of people these days have either done some low-carb, Keto or Atkins, so it's not hard to understand the benefits.
So well said
kids school can be a bit judgy about lunch boxes so i serve their meat eggs and cheese on top of some leafy salad and tell them not to eat the salad.. so they are known as the healthy kids in school because of the salad that they dont eat lol. That and saying they are gluten intolerant really saves me from having to explain anything.
I've started carnivore 4 weeks ago after being keto for 6 months and I haven't been in a social situation yet but I'm having to deal with it at home because my husband still thinks I'm trying to kill myself even though he's seing the great results and transformation in my body and health. This videos really help me stay strong! Thank you 🙏🥩💪
I wish he was more supportive 😒 I know it's still crazy to some people, but a great mainstream example is that even slim fast is selling keto stuff at walmart now. Once you can conceptualize that high fat is good, then the jump to meat only doesn't seem that odd. Just my $0.02. Best of luck girl!
Often, people want you to fail, because they don't have what it takes to do the diet. TOP TIP! Go out with a vegan so you can eat the meat and they can eat the rest ;^)..... assuming they have the energy to go out!
😂
I’ve thought about this, save $$
I do this with the vegetarian in my crafting group. We sit next to each other and get the shared antipasti platter. I eat the meat and some of the cheese, she eats the veggies. Same with mains. I put my veg on her plate and she puts the meat on mine.

I love videos like this because that is always the last ditch argument other people have when trying to talk you out of carnivore, "Sure you might feel great in the short term but you are going to die of cancer in 20 years." So silly. You ladies are the best ammunition against that mindset.
3 weeks ZC tomorrow. These discussions are so helpful. Planning ahead is key to success. Thank you.
Your exuberance and enthusiasm are infectious, Kelly! If I weren't already carnivore, I would want to know what you were doing to be so vibrant! Thanks for doing these chats, especially with women and especially ones who have been doing it for YEARS like you. :-)
I was thinking the same thing! I wish Kelly's videos were longer because she makes me so darn happy!
LOL I tell everyone that I only eat meat now. It changed my life and I don't care what anyone thinks about it honestly. I got a ton of push back from family and friends back in December of 2018 when I started, but now that they see me looking and feeling better than I ever have I have a few family and friends that have started doing their own versions of carnivore.
Oh this is my hope to effect change by example 🤗
Thank you ladies for coming out of the wood work! You have no idea how much we need you!
I have to go to trade meetings/dinners all the time. The day will come when next to the vegetarian choice will be the carnivore choice with no plant food. On flights too.
"People don't notice (what you eat.)" Really? Meat-shaming is real in my world. Nearly all my friends are going vegetarian or vegan. So much so I ALWAYS carry a can of sardines with me or eat before a potluck (which are nearly always vegan/vegetarian.) And since all my friends are proud home cooks, they're also insulted if you won't eat their food. Unfortunately it's now become a political stance. Ultimately I have to do what's good for my own health, but it also makes me a social pariah.
Keep encouraged and hold true to what's best for your health!!
Ditto
Or the meat at potlucks are all covered in sauces and gravies...
Seek out like-minded friends. ;0)
Them being insulted is their problem. I don’t mean that to be rude or dismissive; I mean it literally. They’re not upset at you skipping their food; they’re upset at THEIR OWN thoughts about what it means when you skip their food (it’s disrespectful; i spent so much time cooking this food, and she won’t eat it; doesn’t she like my food) I’ve taken food to eat or fasted at my parents-in-laws. I’ve taken my own food for Thanksgiving at my sister-in-law’s and at my grandma’s houses. Not to mention, I find that the more I am okay with doing it (don’t feel any guilt, etc), the less it’s reflected back to me in them, and the less of a problem they seemingly make it. And, even if they do make it a problem, I don’t feel bad about it, so I don’t get upset.
I love these interviews that you're doing, Kelly. Thank you!
Thanks Ladies, 5 weeks carnivore and enjoying your discussions.
It’s just bad when you don’t know them. Oh Dr. Weidman, that was brilliant! Take hostess to side...little cheese plate...
If your family or friends are causing stress in social situations because of what or how you eat...you need to re-think who you are spending those times with...they are not your tribe or friends. Love this video girls!!!!!!!
Kelly, I just want to say. Your content is always so helpful. I love eating carnivore. I started and stopped carnivore. I am fully in now. Feeling great. All the women putting themselves out there like you, has helped immensely. You get the label ....that's my girl. Thanks for the blog you put up about being a Christian and eating this way. God bless
Thanks - I really needed this! I am the only carnivore I know, so social situations are super hard.
I'm just going to eat whatever I want to eat no matter what the situation is or who is present. I decided this 3 days ago.
Good decision 🥩☀️
Exactly
My body. My choice. Nobody's business.
I’m working on this.
In my observations I see this comes easier to men because they seem to usually just not care what other people think. Again this has just been my experience.
@@CalmVibesVee Maybe, but as a man, I don't necessarily find it easy either. I'm working on it too! :) Cheers.
Actually, the ones closest to me are the most concerned about my diet. They don’t get carnivore & don’t want to hear about it. They’re absolutely convinced I’m headed to an early grave by eating just meat. To the point that I’m pretty sure somebody is gonna organize an intervention one of these days. Everybody in my life takes notice of every single thing I do or don’t put in my mouth.
Tell them that grains are for fattening animals before the slaughter. A ketogenic diet has been the treatment for T1D for 100 years. Sugar kills. Animal meat and fats heal.
4 years of keto and carnivore yoyo I finally found you and charles, your group has literally changed my journey thank you for that. Now when I get in doubt I drown myself in watching you and them on youtube. The best support ever ❤🥰🤗
I simply tell people I had GERD & IBS (I certainly had all the symptoms viciously but not diagnosed as I just avoided the doctor) and the only way I can remain without the symptoms is eating non-sugar and non-fibre foods only (that generally only leaves meat and dairy!).
I have note on my phone that says 2 hamburger patties each with a piece of real cheese, 2 pieces of bacon and a over easy egg. I have pulled that up and shown it to a waiter and never been told no we can’t do that.i use it at places I’m not sure the menu has what I need.
"It's an elimination diet" ... OR you could say, no thank you. I have a colonoscopy tomorrow. 😆
Haha
After only a week eating ketovore (I sometimes use avocado for the fat) I was able to get through a baby shower and for once the cake didn’t call out to me. There were hot dog weenies (which I will never find appealing) and hamburger patties. A few people stared while I mowed through three plain patties but I was satisfied.
The best work around wings is "grilled with salt only please" ❤
I started carnivore today made it through my 1st. Day wish me luck I really need to get my insulin resistance under control keto has stopped working for me .
You can do it! The more strict the better
I started same time feeling so much better for feeding my body . Calorie restriction even on keto and fasting too much left me binging and craving old foods. I love the simplicity of carnivore . Few headaches but still feel good
How has your carnivore experience been???
Are you still Carnivore?
Thank you both!
Thank you so much!!! I needed to hear this video!
Yep! 8 months and I'm proud and don't really care what people think. I'll talk about it or not. But most people I'm around know by now and it's just normal. 🤷♀️
Such a great video, as usual! I started zero carb on Jan 1 for health reasons but have lost 23lbs in the first month. I was shocked! I haven’t noticed any change, yet, in my breathing but I’m hopeful as my body continues to heal I will.
Soaking all this in!!! THANKS!!👍🏽
Thank You!!! Great video!!
Perfect video for my transition from Keto to Carnivore. I began 1-22-2020. I’m taking it one meal at a time and feel that I can navigate future social situations! Good suggestions here. Thank you! -Denise
Thank you for the great tips!! 💗
Really enjoying your videos! Thank you for all the good you are doing 💕
Another great one!
Great advice!!!
Thank you, this was so helpful for me and my journey.
Such great and practical advice!!!
What a fantastic video! Thank you ladies so much.
Awesome! Love you! Thank you so much!❤🍀
These interviews are so helpful, Kelly! Great tips. Thank you!
I’d fly to the US just to be a part of the carnivore March meet-up 😭🥩
Me too
Good point, Dr. Lisa. Using the social awkwardness excuse to eat some pie is really just an excuse. Also good point, Kelly, that the idea that other people actually care that much about what is on your plate is mostly in your head.
I always say " any excuse will do" .... great video
Excelllent...shared it with someone struggling with it is easier to give in to a situation than standing up for what you are doing....
Awesome video! Two incredible and inspiring ladies
I appreciate you talking about eating out or traveling.
Inspiring! Thank you.
Great talk
Its tought; people do make cynical comments and notes
But who cares
This quarantine has showed me that alot of what I ate is for social pleasing
I love Dr. Lisa, great Instagram, so inspiring! Thanks Kelly, you are so adorable!!!
Got lots of good tips from your video Kelly you are doing great love your videos..
Omg! I love both of yall! Been listening to Dr Lisa lately.Then I heard you mentioned you talked with her! Had to find this video!
Such a helpful video. Thank you for helping me to arm myself better both mentally and verbally, for the next time I am in one of these situations. I need to NOT WORRY about what others think!
I find it do hard in social situations...especially if I am asked "why" I am eating this way, I don't always know all the answers for them. Only that I feel better. It's especially hard at work lunches etc but you're right most people don't care and I can try to take the veggies to go. You are both great !
I also love that your videos are not too long!😽😽😽
Your my FAVORITE ladies! The best👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💗💗💗
Great tips !I purposely started carnivore this past November 1st.I wanted to embrace the temptations and social situations.I did not cheat at all and the desserts didn't even sound good.Normally if there are sweets in the house I have to binge eat it until it's gone.Was very empowering to me.Thanks for the channel.
Love all your videos as always. Before when I was on Keto with the veg I would have been tempted off the rails when out with others. Since switching over to Carnivore I have no desire to go off the rails at all. And when out at situations that you have described I have not problem not eating at all if they have nothing suitable.
IMO, it’s the hostess/host’s job to ask if anyone has any dietary restrictions beforehand. I do this because my children have anaphylactic food allergies and so I’m conscientious about asking others. But if they don’t, it’s okay to simply tell the host/hostess that you’re only able to eat animal products due to “digestive issues” ( what I usually say 😉) or elimination diet or some other “socially acceptable excuse” that makes both you and them feel more at ease.
Great tips, thank you ladies so much! 🥩😊
#MeatUp ☺️. Really, really loved this video Thank you, both. 💛
It's not only about control what you put in your mouth. Addictions..mental illnesses and and it's not that simple.Everyone has a story! Love ya Kelly ♡..same about getting louder or hyper..when I'm passionate or excited
Great advice😄👍
I went to a local restaurant last week and ordered the big sirloin steak with the garlic butter but without the salad and fries. No problem with that, but they cook in canola oil so I asked her if it could be cooked in butter - no problem with that either. I was so full and it was delicious. Ordering a black coffee with runny cream on the side also helps take attention away from the other too. So what if you get a ‘look’, it’s always worth asking!
I never had a problem eating out, nobody asking questions they just bring you what I ordered without any vegs or crap. If I go to someone else house I always have meat with me just in case and I never had bad reactions if I asked to cook my steak instead. I find this woe easy and pratical, just ask what you want without any shame ahahahahah!!! Don't be shy to be you and healthy. Enjoy life, eat what makes you feel at your best!!!!! The rest will follow
Eat before u go
Anything u eat there is bonus
Eat later at home if still hungry
There’s little to eat out there, folks!
I am going zero carbs. Starting tomorrow. This burning mouth syndrome is driving me nuts. I currently am ketovore. Keeping carbs to 10.
You both look like Wonder Women. Very healthy!
I've been getting together with a small group weekly. I'm there to be social but also to participate in other activities. They have dinner together but it's always carbs. There's nothing that I would eat. Someone is always asking why I'm not eating and I've said that I'm on an elimination diet to identify the foods that help me feel the best. This last week someone said something about bringing a broccoli salad cause they think it's healthy. I also prefer to eat mid afternoon to give my body several hours to digest the food before I go to bed.
Love your channel, thank you for starting it. Would you guys ever consider moving back to the website forum off of facebook🤔
Great tips here! I'm a huge fan of both of you. Wish I could stowaway to the States to join your meat-up with Laura and Judy ;)
It can always be a challenge to eat at a relative’s home that is nearly vegetarian when there’s pasta in everything and bread and a big salad and tiny bits of meat if anything or vegetable soup.😱I’ve learned to eat beforehand so I am not tempted to eat things that are just not optimal for me lol. I am not there to debate regarding nutrition, just spend time with family.☺️Once I decided to do that it has been so much less stressful. 😋 I used to eat whatever was there and try to fast it off afterwards but it just didn’t work for me even then. I couldn’t help overdoing the starches and feeling terrible and trying to not make a big deal over it and not make a fuss but it didn’t work well for me.🤷🏻♀️ Now I know better!
I enjoyed the tips! 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
I always carry cans of mackerel with me
Yes, even if I went to a dinner with non carnivore recipes I would just not eat and deal with any awkward thoughts. The worst is that the hostess tends to run to kitchen to try to accommodate...
I found that most people don't care what you eat and don't eat.
Have you ever had a meal with a vegan? They're quite preachy and controlling.
I’m coming from the yoga world where everyone is vegan. I am going to take a lot of flak (I’m ready)...
@@smooth_pursuit I'm glad you're making a positive change in your life and putting your health first! If you haven't done so already, check out Carnivore Yogi. She talked about being a carnivore in the yoga world in one of her recent videos (I think it's called "Who is Carnivore Yogi"). Good luck!
Susan Bysh
I’ve been on the carnivore diet for a couple of years and I teach yoga. You’ll be fine 🙂
Jeff's English Coaching yeah I know carnivore yogi, she’s good and at least I’m not the first one 😆
I bring my own food so no one has to worry about me. My food always looks better than what is served. Lol
People think it's weird. You should be aware. Do they care? No. Should you care? No. Will you care? Possibly.
I totally spiralled last weekend at my grandparents' house after a diet Dr pepper. Weirdly enough, berries and limes (2 fruits I've kept) I don't spiral with. It's the fake sweet that triggers.
I've sat there and moved the food around with my fork and used my napkin. no one was the wiser.
Great advice. Go Carnivore.
Great video! Thanks so much! I wanna meet up in March! :D :D :D
no matter what I eat beef before and party so I will not be hungry and I just ignore the food and do not say anything and usually it is not an issue. once in awhile someone will say something and depending but some times i will say I am not hungry right now... it usually works
Just seen a post on a carnivore Facebook page. Poster is 10 days in and asking if ok to have some of her kids birthday cake.
It’s like she coming to a bunch of strangers who don’t care if she eats the cake or not, to get permission to cheat.
I tend to hear are you sure you don't want this.... yes I'm sure otherwise I would have said I wanted some.
Thank you Kelly. Another great video.
I just checked out Dr Weideman's Instagram page and I was surprised to see that she has "Intermittent Faster" in her description at the top of the page as I know that this is something that is frowned upon in the ZIOH Group.
She never advocates for fasting in ZIOH, since we are still a non-fasting group. I honestly didn’t even notice that in her profile and hadn’t realized she uses fasting, but I know some people do it and enjoy it. I’m definitely not one of them, but I still love Dr. Lisa. ❤️
I understand Kelly, neither am I. I wasn't suggesting that you should not "love" her...I was just surprised.
BTW...Lisa also lists 'Intermittent Fasting' on her MeatRX Coach profile which is sending a mixed message.
meatrx.com/product/lisa-w/
@@wherethereslifethereshope9858 Mixed for whom? Technically every human "intermittently fasts" every night while sleeping, some extend it longer periods for other reasons they will outline on other sites, ZIOH does not promote fasting talk as some misunderstand and abuse it like any intervention. Its just a tool, but keep in mind it happens naturally usually in carnivore, if you eat meat when hungry the distance between meals often spreads itself out. Intermittent fasting is just the time fasting between the last meal of one day to the "break Fast" aka breakfast. to each his own. Many will end up with one or two meals a day naturally--that is "technically" the definition of IF. Some explore longer periods be it for religious or other healing properties they believe--I like that ZIOH does not sidetrack with it, but there are many sites for those who want to explore it for themselves.
Thank you Ward Flowers...have a nice day :-)
Where there's life there's hope you too! Loving these videos!
Hands down the hardest thing for me. Two weeks ago, I’m having steak and shrimp as my meal and very content. Gourmet cupcakes brought out and I had no desire. My husbands mom says “get you a plate”, I say no thank you! She says one bite won’t kill you, I say no thank you! And she said wow you have good will power....
How do I deal with someone that won’t back off? This is a monthly occurrence with all of my family.
Your doing the right thing, just keep saying no. They will eventually stop. (I hope) Best wishes
Hey Lovely Ladies! Thanks for sharing this. I follow you both and was actually trying to start a "Meat Up" in my area and see if I can connect with some other carnivores or carnivore curious peeps. I would welcome any suggestions to make that appealing, successful, and interesting. Thanks for all you do!😘🥩
M Lane I hosted one at my home 10 years ago and I made big huge rib eye roasts plus everyone brought a ZC meat dish
Was an amazing carnivore feast
@@drlisawiedeman4425 Well thanks for the suggestions!🙏 I will definitely get one on the books for March. I already have a couple here in my town who want to join. I live in a 'tiny house', so it definitely won't be here!😂
Some Dinner parties do not seem appropriate to call ahead, etc. it is difficult.
It's the starting. Not how easy it is after 10 years, I guess.
❤❤❤❤
Totally agree LMAO.... the world cares what I eat LMAO.... NOT lol
I'm 1 year in now... as of 1st February
18 months for me. A few of my children are keto, so they get it.
@@carnivoreRon Awesome
I would say if I go to a gathering I will always eat two big 1/4 lbers before wherever I go to be safe. my cooking or mcdonald's or so. 👋😍
Hooray!
YAAAAYYY LOL
You are grown woman i eat what I eat and I leave others to do their own thing. Is it really that difficult no one care get over it.
1:50 "We had a little meat-up at my house" .. LOL
Hello 💙❤️💜😘
