I’m almost 2 months in & started because of you guys. Down 13 lbs. & feeling great. My fingers in my right hand aren’t locking up anymore & because the inflammation is down I can now make a closed fist.
I commend your dedication, and Steph, your dedication to Steve. Shows how much love you have for each other.
Hi from the UK. From what I understand - when you are in ketosis your body is using the ketones to feed your brain, heart etc it will only send excess/unwanted ketones to your pee so the pee sticks only measure these. If the pee stick reading is low then your body is using your ketones in the correct place. Hope this helps - keep going you are inspiring so many people.
I was thinking the same thing. The whole purpose of eating this way is to make ketones to feed your brain and muscles.
You are in ketosis if you have ANY measurements of ketones and you aren't taking exogenous ketones.
You need to measure your ketones by your blood , pee is not a food measure after a while .
Congrats! Love you guys. I’m 64, 5’7” started at 173 lbs. I’m a little over 60 days in and weigh in this morning. 158 lbs.
I feel great! Energy, no foot pain, eyes clear and mental clarity. Looking forward to my 90 day. I’m just not into bacon and chicken anymore and I need to drink more. Thanks guys for filming your progress.
Omggg!! Hooray!!! That is SO awesome!!! Yes we went off chicken and pork but recently I had some pork ribs and they were amazing! Also I saw turkey drumsticks and air fried them and they were fantastic! So I might be changing again and wanting some other foods! Steve not so much! 😆 he just wants steak ❤️
I did an all meat way of eating 12 years ago. I did it for two years. I lost 110 pounds. Doctors didn’t like me on it back then they really pushed the pyramid diet. I kept eating only meat. My labs came back excellent everything bad numbers went way down. The funny thing about it all was I was friends with my doctors nurse. I told her what I was doing she said Deb… as ur friend keep going but as ur nurse… I didn’t hear a dam thing you just said. Lol 12 years later that statement STILL makes me laugh. Lol keep going and do what you believe in 💖
Wow!!! That is amazing!!! So 12 years in, does your cholesterol test high and you get a CAC scan to prove its low? Or do you not bother?
@@StevenSteph yup everything is down they were shocked cholesterol A1C blood pressure ran full labs on me.
Hiya ---if you don't mind, what has your diet consisted of since those 2 years or are you still carnivore? If you aren't, how was your transition widening your diet choices? Thanks. Have a great day!
I am only 22 days in. Love to follow you on your journey
If you find a way of eating that isn’t a chore and is enjoyable. It doesn’t matter what others think. If it’s benefits you positively. continue doing it.
Pretty darn cool. I’m so happy for you both. Congratulations to Erika and her husband. So awesome. ❤❤
I just love your enthusiasm and commitment. Be sure to come to the carnivore livestreams and say hello in the chat!
It's so hilarious to put the word 'cheat' and 'apple' in the same sentence and have that make sense to us watching.
Lifelong acne sufferer here too. Carnivore was a huge surprise with regard to skin repair. Around the same time I started using Dermaharmony Zinc Therapy soap so I can't say for sure which had the greatest impact but both did something and now my skin is better than its ever been!
Wonderful!!! I think over time we get more and more cleaned out and it all just regulates! My skin seems like a normal person’s skin now…still really oily but not breaking out with deep cystic acne! Phew 😅 I’m so thankful!!
You guys are awesome. I started carnivore because of you guys. I saw your video when you started so I did all my research and decided to give it a try. I am 2 weeks behind you and have lost 35 pounds and feel great. I was on keto before this so it was easy to start for me. The biggest problem I had with keto is all the keto snacks that kept me wanting sweets and carbs. Now I do not crave anything but steak... I do the OMAD during the week while I am at work and never get hungry. Keep up the videos I really enjoy watching them and they help to incourage me through this way of eating.
Wow❤
Oh wow!! That is so cool!!! I’ve not done the OMAD twice and I think I like it! Steve can’t do it yet but I’m gonna try! I did 2 days OMAD and stayed in ketosis and 2 days I did 2 meals and back out! Tomorrow is going to me a OMAD I think. 🤞🏼 So glad you joined us on this journey! Interesting you were already keto and then lost 35lbs that fast on carnivore! Were you losing equally fast on keto? (Wondering for Erica if she heads that direction later)
Seems like i have heard that if you get too much protein, then you would go out of ketosis. I have lost weight quickly on Keto in the past, but now with all the Keto snacks and breads i don't lose as quickly. then i would fall off the wagon for a couple of weeks and gain all the weight back. Carnivore is just so much easier, i always know what i am going to eat, don't have to track anything and it usually only takes 10 min. to prepare. And who doesn't like a big steak for dinner. I listen to Shawn Baker and he is adjusting his macros to get into deeper ketosis for healing an injury he has. i believe he is adjusting his protein and fat intake to accomplish this.@@StevenSteph
Steph, i had a colonoscopy in May, i had a 30 mm polyp, couldn't remove it during the procedure. I had to go to a Surgeon. I had to have a hemicolectomy. That means they had to remove the right side of my
Colon, attaching it to my small intestine. Had I not got the colonoscopy, i would have had full blown cancer in a year or less.
I am 76 yrs old did really well after the surgery. So remind all your friends and family to get their tests done. It had been 10 yrs since I had
A colonoscopy. I had never had a polyp, and always went when they sent me a letter. So happy all is working out for y'all. God bless.❤🙏🙏
Oh my goodness! Yes! We need our tests! They’re lifesaving ❤️ so glad you got yours in time! ❤️❤️
I’ve been at this woe for very long time. Still get eaten up by bugs here in Florida. It’s awful
I wish I could do this. Especially for my special needs adult son. He loves meat. He is very obese. We just don’t have enough money to buy meat all the time. Sometimes I get good meat from the free food pantry. I scant eat a lot of meat because I have no bottom teeth. Being on a fixed income is hard. Please don’t think I’m not blessed and I choose joy no matter what. I know the Lord takes care of us. My faith is very strong so I’m blessed beyond measure. I’m so happy for Steve that his Autoimmune disease is getting better. I will pray for you both and also for Puddy. Love you all. ❤
Way to go guys! I'm on day 75, down 40 pounds and finally feeling the energy picking up. Loving the no inflammation and joint pain for sure. I am so loving the free time, not having to plan, cook and clean up from all the cooking. I'm getting so much more done! Keep it up!
Omggg!!! 40lbs in 75 days?! What a miracle! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 that is unbelievably fantastic! Congratulations!!! Woohoo!!!🎉
THANK YOU GOOD JOB
Hi there. You two are looking wonderful. May God continue to bless you with good health and happiness. 💖from me to you. 🇨🇦
Well done Steve and Steph
So happy that you have found something that works for you, it is so hard sometimes to find the right combination of foods. I know from experience the inflammation is so hard to deal with, those processed foods are so bad. They suck out anything that is good for you and replace it with man made alternatives just so your body craves more (it's all about the sales)
💯 That’s right Joyce I just finished a book called “Ultra Processed People” it blew my mind! It’s criminal what Big Food industry is doing to us.
Interesting some people didn’t have the sound. The sound was fine for me 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I'm happy for u two.
I have sound. No problems here! I sure hope you guys visit the dumpsters again soon!
Oh we also eat eggs. No yogurt and very little cream milk but we do olive oil and butter.
good stuff guys carnivore is magic
I like you guys sharing. Do you mind sharing about this every month at least? What do you think? -much love ~Mary & fam in NJ
Hey Steve n Steph. I just wanted to comment on two things you all talked about, just in case anyone else ponders the same questions you've raised. Mosquitos love type A blood. Also, your bug bite issues may have decreased because, by virtue of your high meat intake, you've increased your Vitamin B levels. Always check with your physician or pharmacist, but those who suffer from the bites could try a Vit B Complex (B6 and B12) to see if that helps. While they may have studies that don't find a link between B1 (thiamin) reducing bites, before retiring I used to recommend B Complex to those visiting our area during our high noseeum (midge) season and they had tremendous success at eliminating their bites.
Steph - If you're not specifically looking to lose weight by reducing your own fat stores, then you shouldn't always have high ketone readings. That isn't the intent of the carnivore diet. Those first going on a low-to-no carb diet may enter into ketosis, but that's usually the goal of a ketogenic diet. By entering into ketosis, it lowers your blood pH level and causes your blood to become more acidic. To counter this, the body may be leaching calcium from your bones. Additionally, it may increase your uric acid, which can lead to kidney stones. For this reason, anyone with kidney damage shouldn't attempt to achieve ketosis. You've stated that you're neither following this diet for weight loss, nor are you diabetic, so I wouldn't concentrate on higher ketone readings or driving your body to start feeding on it's own fat reserves. If you are maintaining a perfect balance between protein and fat consumption, you aren't gaining weight, you're well hydrated, and you have plenty of energy to burn, it sounds like your body was doing exactly what it was supposed to prior to the intermittent fasting. I hope this makes sense.
gluconeogenesis! Several of our organs need a wee bit of glucose at all times. Our body makes it (gluconeogenesis) as long as we are still under about 35 yo or it will make it continuously if we never got used to eating sugar on a regular basis.
If we spent many years of eating fairly high carbs, our body relies on us to continue that practice.
So, if suddenly, after many years we consume basically 0 carbs, we can get into trouble. There are symptoms that let us know we need some carbs. The symptoms can be lightheadedness especially in the morning, weak knees, a dull headache... it depends on the individual. I have found that 1/2 teaspoon of honey in the morning makes me feel so much better. And it seems to me, I don't even notice it in my body except I feel better. It does not create any cravings, it just makes my body work so much better.

We use White Pepper because it is low in oxalates and it has great flavor. You can buy whole berries and grind which we do but our favorite use is to mix 1/3 fine ground white pepper with 2/3 part good salt. It is a great seasoning mix. Congrats to you both for doing so great!
Awesome that u are having great reasons
that is interesting....the relationship between the glucose and ketosis. I wonder if thats why I felt terrible on keto, hypoglycemia...hmmm. Loving this convo! Love you guys.
It is interesting isn’t it Patty. So much to learn about our bodies 😊
Oh my gosh. I just had that test. And mine was 50% Widow maker and 25% on the other 2. I haven’t been able to walk my 3-4 miles a day.
Been taking care of my mom. (86). I have lost 52# walking. And not drinking Soda/ pop.
But I haven’t been able to eat as well as I had.
I’m not doing any prescription medication.
Flaxseed oil helps reduce your cholesterol levels. I’m going back to using it more faithfully.
Prayers would be appreciated. It also showed something on my liver. Having a ultrasound of the liver.
God bless you and your beautiful family. 🙋🏻♀️♥️🇺🇸
I enjoy watching you two with the Carnavore diet. It's not often we get to see how a diet like this actually works, like with body changes, appetite changes, and how it makes you feel. It's like seeing an experiment happening before our eyes. Me being a former microbiology lab tech, l like experiments. Steph, with all your new gadgets, it will make it fun to chart your results. I do have one of those glucose readers, but I haven't used it in months. I should be checking my glucose, since I'm also doing an experiment to keep my glucose in normal range with Glucoberry pill that I take daily.
By the way I must add, you both look great!!! EYL!!!!😻😊
I’ve never heard of glucoberry! I’m gonna have to google that just to see what it is! ❤️ Experiments are so fun! 😆
Congratulations to your friend she will reach her goal.. S7even and Steph you are doing great too and looking great. You guys have each other and support each other and your friend Steph. Is Puddy on the diet too? Can dogs be on a only protein diet. Thanks for the video.
Oh thank God Steve i havent watched you in a long time and when your video popped up and i saw your photo i thought you were sick..
Good morning, I haven't seen you two uploading a video for awhile? - hope things work out for the best 💜
I have had the the opposite reaction with the bugs .
Try the PLUCK😊 spices freeze dried organ meats w/ spices...they have a few flavor s
Congrats, Erica! So happy for you! Steve is 100% correct, go to the doctor, don't live in fear of "what if". My sister was diagnosed w/breast cancer, invasive ductal carcinoma and has had to have a mastectomy and hysterectomy within 3 weeks of each other and now doing chemo all because she avoided doctors and mammograms out of fear/embarrassment. Fortunately despite needing radical surgery, she was lucky she's stage 3 not stage 4, and they are talking "cure" for her. She's doing great on her chemo and few (very tolerable) side effects, so lots of hope, but preventative medicine is important.
That is WONDERFUL! So happy she’s doing well now! So so scary! Cancer sucks 😪
Blessings on my journey with Jeff prosperous. Check his info.
Iam carnivore 5 months, down 40 pounds, and dropped the type 2 diabetes ( now normal blood sugars) utube influencers like you two are helping people like me ( not feel so alone in this journey of health, thank you so much ,it's great to see real people sharing .
The optimum level of ketosis is between 1.5 and 5. Whatever you are reading on your breath meter is not measuring the ketones in the same measurements as the Keto Mojo. One is breathe ketones, one is blood ketones. Both are different, but probably mean the same thing.
I think Steve is feeling so great he doesn’t care for ketosis / or weight loss / change
Love the carnivore diet updates but t, I miss your dumpster dives!!!
Good 👍🏾 blessings 😊
Wow very good
Breaking your food into two meals gives you a greater opportunity to get all the nutrition you need. Doing the 16-18 hour fast is also good. Great work you guys. I am so glad you found the carnivore way of eating. I am a carb addict and my husband won't eat carnivore with me, so I struggle. Thank you for the inspiration. I have to do better.
It's ok if you struggle to stay on course as long as you don't quit. Hang in there 🙏❤
Steph, can you show us what you eat for each meal? I have a hard time knowing what to eat. Thanks.
That was a really good video with lots of info. I’m thinking what things should I take note of and what are the most important things to know when just starting out. My husband and I are really thinking of starting beginning of Jan. We’re thinking we want to go through Thanksgiving and Christmas and then start.
I loved the comments: funny even at the end Steve Enjoy Your MEAT 🥩 🤣 EYM
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. EYM 😂❤❤
Steph! I am so glad you said you got sick and threw up and said why ! Cause it happened to me once after I ate eggs, steak and sausage and I thought it was bad eggs or something, so now I know it was probably oxidation dumping or whatever you said. Lol.
Yes! Also forgot to mention that next morning when I woke up I had the weirdest almost metallic flavor in my mouth and my breath was weird and Puddy was sniffing in my mouth like something was new so that’s what made me think it might be the oxalate dumping or whatever. It only happened that one morning never since
@@StevenSteph lol!!! Once for me also! It was really wierd! But so far I’ve lost 25 pounds and my blood work is awesome! And I also do my glucose all the time too cause before I started carnivore I was pre diabetic but my numbers have been dropping since my last blood work! I started a week after y’all! It’s amazing and I’m the only one doing it in my family cause they say it’s bad for me!! Lol ! I told them what their eating is bad for them and making them sick!!
I get blood work done all the time but recently lost 40 lbs so hopefully it will all be better. Tempted to try the carnivore diet but it's hard to change habits, especially with my autistic kid who loves his certain foods
I saw a YT video of a family that has a non verbal autistic child & they got rid of all processed foods junk food etc only made low carb meals & their child’s autism improved & started speaking it was really remarkable. I wish I could remember the name of YT channel
I have sound straight away 😊
Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Good to know. Thank you!
I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and am not as strictly carnivore but am more animal based and allow myself nuts and cheese, I have to wear a continuous glucose monitor and numbers are better but on the high end of the acceptable range. I am wondering if I also need to add more fat. Gonna give it a try. Also Goya Adobo seasoning is pretty clean - salt, tumaric, and pepper. We are all different and maybe try that one, 0 sugars.
Doing it together is the only way
Pee strips are only good in the beginning it only read ketones not being use and if you are in ketosis, which if your carnivore you are in ketosis. Watch Dr Berry. And the Breathe a lizard only works if you actually do it correctly and it's hard to do it properly you have to make sure to get all of the air out of your lungs before doing your breath. The best way to check your keytones if you wanna know is with yes the mojo reader or any device that reads your blood levels. Do more reach, If you're doing carnivore and or no carbs you are definitely in ketosis and using ketones but ketones are not just used for weight loss they are your energy source. If you want to recycle your cells though that is all done with autophagy which is achieved by fasting, has nothing to do with being in ketosis.
Ketosis..... the urine strips only measure the excess ketones that you are not using.... therefore you are using the ketones you are making... which is good!
Boa noite StevenSteph! Que tudo de certo em sua vida! Que Deus te abençoe! Fica com Deus! Que tudo de certo no seu Dia a Dia!
I NOTICED THE BUG THING TOO!
It's so weird. I've have ate mostly chicken, fish and veggies my whole life. When i told people that i was going to try carnivore, they said, yeah right, how are you going to do that? You don't even like meat. Lol it's been a little over a month, my hip and knee pain and headaches are gone. I cheated twice with a salad and had a headache each time after i was done eating. I feel so good and i now know this is the right way of eating.
Can you tell the make of the breath analysis tool thanks I got to get one
YAY!!!
I HAVE SOUND NOW!!!❤❤❤❤
HOLIDAYS ARE JUST AROUND THE C😝RNER 😢😮💨
Sorry I lost the feed. Anyway I stopped most restaurants and processed foods and very low carbs less than 49 grams a day. My blood sugar dropped from diabetic range to a normal 7 and I lost 40 pounds. I do eat fruit like blueberries and figs and raspberries cause we grow them no pesticides and the vegetables we grow like green beans cabbages rape a green leafy plant and kale etc.for two weeks I craved the snacks an processed foods and sugar and the substitutes. I am not craving anymore. We eat large portions of meat and smaller portions of the fruits and Vegies so we aren’t true carnivore but we feel and look good.and I really am proud of my numbers.
To be able to get rid of the crutches of sugar, and carbs. Must be amazing for you both. I want to do this, but where I live wouldn't allow me to do that. I am anemic and this would be perfect for me. BUT😢 😊
How do I learn to do this diet properly? Is there a book you are going by? Or somewhere I can get instructions.
Dr Ken Berry on UA-cam 💖🥳 lots of videos 👍
When you loose your appetite your in ketosis , When you can go all day , with out being tired , all your test are hit and miss
the CAC tests for plaque that has been there a long time and calcified (which is what your body does to plaque over time to stabilize it). It does not show the soft plaque I dont believe. the soft plaque is in some ways more dangerous.
Ketones are produced when there is not enough glucose to burn for energy. Protein can be partially converted into glucose and this is likely the reason you are not in ketosis. A ketogenic diet is a very high fat very low carb and little to moderate protein. Carnivore is high protein and thus not really a ketogenic diet.
Makes sense! Thank you!
Ketosis is a popular low-carb weight loss program. In addition to helping you burn fat, ketosis can make you feel less hungry. It also helps you keep muscle. For healthy people who don't have diabetes and aren't pregnant, ketosis usually kicks in after 3 or 4 days of eating fewer than 50 grams of carbohydrates per day
You can buy the SUPER cheap BAC breathalyzers. Like $10!or so. As long as you dont have alcohol it will measure the acetone in your breath which is a byproduct of BURNING ketones. Which tells you more than blood or pee because those measure what ketones you have that you did NOT burn. Make sense?
Apples can have a load of pesticides, so it may not be the apple itself, it may be pesticide sensitivity. Just a thought.
It was an organic one thank goodness 😅
Its not a fear of bad news. Its because I am already aware of the corrective measures outside of the industry. I should exercise more. I know if they recommend a statin I'm going to be mad. If my blood pressure is high I'll be mad at myself. Still not looking to take any prescriptions.
Most apples are GMO now!
I have sound. wouldn't worry about the blood work too much, who set the parameters?
Great video! Here in Largo Florida, I am carnivore 118 days. I am loving it and mirroring alot of others amazing benefits. Havent tested mosquitos or sunburning yet. The darker the pee strip the more ketones in your urine , the deeper in ketosis you would be. A fat adapted person would register a low amount amount of ketones ,as you were. The beige color means you are not in ketosis. Does Steve make color on stick after blowing a 0? If blow meter says he is not in ketosis, then pee stick should be negative or no color change,I would think.
My doc just emailed me to contact him about my blood work results. Gulp! 65 and worried, I'll call Monday. 🤞
Same. Going to discuss tomorrow.
Ask for that CAC scan if he’s freaking out about the cholesterol 🤞🏼🤞🏼 keep us posted!
The sound and volume was just fine for me. I have heard that UA-cam has been having sound glitches lately. To correct this problem: Log out of UA-cam and then log back in, and that should correct the problem. This kind problem has been happening on other YT channels as well. 😁😊👍
Thanks for letting us know I haven’t heard about it!
With your periods - I started menopause in my mid 40's and my Dr told me that in rare cases it can happen even earlier. So it could just be natural what is going on with you.
I’m at 82 days, down 40 pounds & feeling is great. Still loving this carnivore diet. Dropped 2 prescriptions, cut another in half.
OUTSTANDING! So happy for you Susan ❤️
Steve, you were looking not Well, and really haggard, Now in my mind you are looking FABULOUS!!! And So Damned Healthy!!! I may need to try this!! As , I've not been feeling great for awhile
Thanks Dusty. If you go carnivore we hope it heals any issues you may have 🙏❤️
@@StevenSteph I sure hope so!! It's been a long time since I felt 💯, so, it would be a very welcome thing!
Things taste better when hungry
I agree Steve! Prevention is everything in health. I wouldn’t have known I had hyperparathyroidism without my blood calcium levels. Get it done yearly especially if you’re over 50.
Glad you caught the hyperparathyroidism Jean 🙏❤
I am confused about the ketone thing. The internet says "As your body breaks down fat, it produces a compound called ketones. The ketones, or ketone bodies, become your body and brain's main source of energy. The fat your body uses to create ketones may come from your diet (nutritional ketosis), or it may come from your body's fat stores."
Agree. No sound. Redo and I will re-watch ya all 🥰 edit... I tried closed caption to continue to watch. Same as sound. Nothing. Chit happens, life short, so this is sooo not a issue with me❣️
Sounds like UA-cam was having a glitch on other’s channels so try again-they must have fixed it? 🤞🏼
Steph, menopause is going to be a breeze for you on this diet. Already been there and done it, learned quickly to cut out carbohydrates to reduce hot flashes down to almost zero.
Spices. Switch to white pepper
I stopped eating bread,rice, potatoes.cereals.chips. Pies. Donuts. Refined sugar and guaranteed substitutes
try roast beef heart.. very meaty with a slight liver taste. Sooo good for you.
Oh yeah that is delicious! I got a bunch of organ meats in my beef order from my local farmer once to make dog treats out of, but after seeing the heart, I had to eat it, my body just wanted it, I couldn’t resist. I roasted it with veggies and seasonings and my son and I ate so much of it, because it just tasted amazing to us.
Our bodies are always struggling to stay in homeostasis.
I have sound.
I'm so glad that y'all can do this carnivore diet. I really wish I could too, however in the last couple of years I have managed to lose a total of 205 lbs so far with lots of fasting & eating a lot less food than ever before. It was a situational thing. I'm physically disabled, unable to find work. So I have ZERO income whatsoever. So that also means that I have NO money for food. I take whatever food that I have & ration it out to make it last much longer than it normally would. I tried to get food stamps but... Get this... I didn't qualify because I could not PROVE that I had NO income. I showed that my bank account was seriously in the red. I showed that all my utility bills were way past due. I showed that I had to cancel doctor appointments because I didn't have money to put gas in a car to get there. I can't walk to even try to get to a bus station to use public transit service. Etc, etc, etc. Long STUPID sob story short... I lost a lot of weight without even being physically able to exercise... 205 pounds so far & still going. I did want to make mention though that I've been seeing my doctors quite regularly because of several medical conditions & they ALL completely MISSED the fact that I have had a SERIOUS heart condition for quite a while, years in fact. I have something called Bradycardia where my heart beats so extremely slow that it almost stops. I also have 2 of my 4 heart valves that leak. Gotta just love that, right? Only found this out because I was having pre-operative tests done so that I could get my hip replaced & now I can't. The doctors say that I will probably need to get a pacemaker before I can get the hip replaced. Definitely DON'T wait to see your doctors. You ALWAYS want to catch something, especially if it's real bad when it's early on in it's progress so hopefully it can be stopped or fixed. Little did I know during my last hip replacement of my other hip that I had what is called a "silent heart attack." Nobody told me. Gotta just LUV that, now don't ya?!!! 😣
You need to have your doctors to document all their findings so you can get approved for social security disability. It takes at least two or three times being turned down before they will really consider reading your entire file enough to know if you really have a disability. Make sure that your doctor puts a letter in your file that spells out the fact that your heart could stop at any time with no warning and that you are 100% incapacitated. Where you are unable to perform any job. Make note of all your doctors visits and how many and tests and test results and the situation with your hip and the fact that you can't even have hip surgery due to your dangerous heart condition. Someone will finally listen. I'll be praying for you.
@@susanpriddy740 Thank you, but would you believe I don't qualify for disability because of my 5 yr recent work history. I had to quit my regular full time job to take care of my mother full time. She had disabilities & dementia. I took care of her til she died. Because I do not have a recent "valid" work history, I don't qualify for disability for myself now & I really tore myself up even more with lifting my mother as much as I had to until I i just couldn't lift her by myself any more. I'm really quite a mess. The reason I need my hips replaced is because I have avascular necrosis meaning there is no longer blood supply to that joint & it can break at any time because it has gotten so bad just waiting because I'm jumping through all the hoops for the state health insurance. I thank you very much for the prayers.
Were you not in ketosis on Keto Mojo? Love your video’s.
Keto-Mojo is the the brand of the blood test meter-we’ve never been on keto before so we don’t have experience with the ketones and Keto (we were on AIP (autoimmune protocol diet which is a paleo derivative diet specifically for autoimmune)
The way I understand ketosis is when your body burns fat instead of sugar.
I have sound. Steph, you could be going through menopause
I hope so! 😆 but I don’t think so. My mom didn’t start until her 60’s and I’m 47. I think it’s the dramatic diet change effect…carnivore does wonders for m your hormones so I hope it’s fixing things for me! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 But we’ll see. I’ll keep you guys posted
I just went in for my dr appt after 90 days and my labs were the same! So far I’ve only lost 7lbs, but my clothes fit like I’ve lost 15-20. So weird. My dr. Took me off my thyroid meds. The weirdest thing for me is I keep smelling maple syrup.
Woooow! That is awesome!!! And nothing wrong with smelling maple! Yum! Unless it gets the cravings going LOL. I do miss maple ❤️. Congrats on getting off meds and losing so many inches!! Amazing!! 💃🏼💃🏼
I tried for a few days and it didn't stick. I'm the only one in the house that tried it so that made it difficult when I'm the cook for two others as well.

Dr. Mindy Pelz is a reliable source of information about hormones and explaining ketosis, autophagy, and m tor. Her book Fast Like a Girl may be a good reference. She also explains Keto Mojo and why once you are fat adapted your body burns ketones and no longer excretes them in the urine.
