Hey, I'm Jonathan Griffiths, a 29-year-old with a BSc in Human Nutrition from Bournemouth, Dorset. My journey as an amateur bodybuilder has been unique due to a fused spine from a rugby injury at 14 and my Autism. Despite these hurdles, I've found incredible success on the carnivore diet over the past four years, after other pain relief methods failed. I have since competed twice as a carnivore bodybuilder, with my recent showing on June 2nd 2024 where I placed first against an extremely competitive line-up. I also just completed the British finals as a disabled athlete competing against open competitors. Meanwhile, I have had my spine fused in 2022, and various procedures to try and reduce the pain I am in. I am currently primarily a body composition coach in the carnivore community and have helped hundreds of people to reach their goals. The carnivore diet is my only option to try and thrive, and I love it! My diet mainly includes beef, salmon, chicken, eggs, cheese, milk, and butter. I avoid fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, seeds, oils, and sugars. I drink water, coffee, and bone broth. No calorie counting here, just focusing on around 350 grams of protein and fat each day for the past 4.5 years. In the beginning, I lost 5 pounds and felt a surge in energy, focus, and calmness. I woke up refreshed, with no cravings or GI issues. My workouts stayed strong, with better muscle pumps, vascularity, and faster recovery. The diet eased the pain and stiffness in my spine, giving me more freedom and comfort. It reduced my need for medications and improved my autism-related symptoms, like anxiety and mood swings. My social skills and communication also got better. Blood tests before and after the diet showed my liver and kidney damage from a virus had healed. My blood markers such as liver and kidney functions were normal, with no nutrient deficiencies or hormonal issues. This diet has been eye-opening, challenging many common dietary beliefs. I've learned that meat is highly nutritious and satisfying, and plants aren't essential or particularly beneficial for me. This is especially relevant given the genetic and metabolic traits seen in people with autism. I've stuck to the carnivore diet, with occasional treats like 'Hot Pot' and Korean BBQ, which I can cook myself at restaurants. On my UA-cam channel 'Carnivore Muscle,' I share my carnivore lifestyle, training tips, nutritional advice, and recipes, building a community of fellow carnivores and inspiring others to try this way of life. I fully recommend the carnivore diet to anyone looking to improve their health, fitness, and well-being, especially fellow bodybuilders and those with spinal conditions or autism. In my view, it's the best way to enhance both body and mind. 💪🥩🚀
JT - "people just need to understand, if you want to change something, you have to change something, and you are probably going to have to give something up." Kelly - rather than the fear of missing out (my favorite food(s), my/their birthday cake, holiday foods etc), embrace JOMO, the Joy Of Missing Out on body aches and pains, brain fog, no energy, gut issues. Terrific interview! JT is so down-to-earth (not alarmist!) and easy to listen to (and look at 🙂). I really like his approach!
Change creates results, Subtracting is a factor initially BUT if you're Under eating over time, chronically metabolically challenged then you Need to ADD more calories or macronutrients or more Protein and more Fat to stoke the metabolism fire 🔥 When the campfire is dwindling down you add more logs to build the flame, same applies to our metabolism.
100%. Love this video. I had been stuck on the last 6kg forever, months and months, stucker than stuck. I literally thought that this was what many describe as "my body set point" and I wasn't happy. I joined Kelly's group, learned about reverse dieting, discovered I was badly undereating and, I more than doubled my calories. I maintained that for four weeks, gained 1.3kg. No biggie. I then dropped my calories by 20% and I AM LOSING again!! I am literally 5kg down in two months. So close to goal. This is a revelation. Don't be scared, do it ;)
So...does one have to increase calories by 15% every two weeks until you actually put on a 'little' weight? (like 1-2lbs??) as I have been on same calories now for months (2200kcal) and not losing and not gaining....but whenever I try to reduce I get hunger coming back (I am 100% carnivore and eat 80% fat)...I wonder if I have to increase 15% every two weeks until I actually put on a little weight THEN start reducing? what do you think? or do you know if that is the answer?
i pour the fat back on my ground beef in sheet pan and cool n cut as bars :p so yum! lil flakes of salt on top - omg i feel same about that whole "moderation" thing!!
CARITY! "When you are low carb-no carb, fat is your fuel source." Animal fat is our friend. Yes, eating carnivore does fill, satiates us BUT we need to remember to eat.TDEE can help know what "little" we eat.
A MasterClass on reverse Dieting. I believe that the universe sends us messages when we are ready to receive/hear them. The message for this week is: All in Carnivore, get rid of all sugars, dairy in moderation, and eat the proper amount of food. The second message is MOVE MORE. Thanks Kelly Hope springs eternal on your channel always. God Bless.
This was such a great chat. Concise, actionable advice and so helpful for those who are stuck with sloooow metabolisms! Thank you so much for mentioning and sharing the link to my interview with JT. You're the best, Kelly! 🙏💕
Thank you, Kelly and JT! Totally awesome video! You are both shining examples of revolutionizing your health! Excellent role models!! Folks can do this!! Totally possible; you showed us all how!! Love you guys!
Thank you for this. And thank you for staying on topic. I respect everyone's spiritual beliefs and choices. I also struggle with trauma around religious talk, so that would've turned me off from this very helpful and informative video. You guys are awesome and have great awareness of your audience and its needs. ❤️
HRT would be the starting place. Perhaps by being Carnivore for the long term - you could stop if you choose - but without hormonal support? It’s easy to stay stuck. For me HRT - including Testosterone - makes a huge difference. That and taking digestive enzymes to help me eat more and digest well when I eat.
The evidence for harm is too strong No one is HRT deficient. We are at diff stages of life. Diff, and diff levels of, hormones. It’s ok. It’s ok to be diff from a 26 or 46yo. Ur 66 or 76! Diff life stage.
This is exactly me!! I lost 100lbs on keto, got stuck, went carnivore and I'm still stuck. I've been stuck for over a year. My question is.. when I reverse diet, exactly how long should I stay at the maintenance phase before going back down. I NEED TO KNOW PLEASE!!!! 😩😩😩
Awesome content once again, and Christ followers to boot. John 16:13 -- However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth...
Love this dude! His content is top shelf - funny AF and informative!! I'm a year+ on carnivore myself and thriving! Love you Kelly, thanks for posting!
Fabulous interview !! Really enjoyed this 🎉 I've been experimenting with adding in more fats and protein and tracking my energy expenditure and im loosing weight and eating more. I do resistance training and walk every day too. But I love food also. I've also got rid of all sugar !! 🎉 I do feel a sense of freedom too 😊 Love listening to you Kelly ❤️
Lately, I have decided to pull back on carnivore. I was losing too much weight. I am getting too cold in the winter. I have reintroduced some coconut flour to make snacks. Weight loss has stopped but is stable. Thanks for all you do.
I think this is the issue for me. Where is all this fat coming for people? I cook good middle ground beef in some butter, and I save the drippings. Lately I’ve been putting it in little silicone candy molds. Guess I’m not eating enough fat. (Data: 76 y/o, 5’0”, currently 138 lbs, target 125, hypothyroid.)
I totally still eat too much. I’m primed all the time 😂 I hate eating less. I can snack all time too. Get bored snack. Stressed snack. Reward snack. Only way scale seems to go down is if I eat nothing. Ugh
Try filling yourself up more at meals, then be intentional about eating. It is so hard if you are still hungry. Journal what you are doing so you can identify your triggers. That helps me. Hang in there!!
Keep it up and u WILL get to where no intake doesn’t work anymore. I lose zero fasting ZERO Days long, water & salt only. Stop ur emotional eating now. Listen to my experience
Sleep also influences fasting blood sugar and BP. When I don’t get at least 6 hrs. 50 min. sleep at night (I’ve been tracking sleep for over 3 years now), my blood sugar & BP will both be higher in the morning. Since my tracking and journaling has been on my phone or computer, I rarely was able to avoid them before bed. I have devised now a version of my trackers to print and use in paper form. I hope to print these today to avoid using any screen time at night. As a tech geek, I have tried to avoid this, but I have stalled in my health progress and am taking this step because my health is more important. Thanks for your advice. I know it works because I have stepped up my calories gradually over the past 6 months and maintained my weight, fluctuating between 130 and 135. I still have about 10 lbs. to lose, but will wait a bit till I can eat about 2,000 calories before attempting to lose those. (I started at a BMR of 1,029 calories and would gain weight if I ate 1,300.)
@ , yup, it helps some, but not as much as working with paper and pen. Even reading a book (paper pages) vs. listening to the same story via audio book makes me sleepier. Perhaps I’m just weird. 🥴
I have diverticulitis. This is my third time in infection. The pain, exhaustion, Lack of bowel movement anemia and internal bleeding has wracked me. No doctors know how to deal with any of it. Some say roughage. Seeds nuts make no difference and they beat me down and tell me the carnivore diet will kill me and give me. The conventional world says no cure, knife, anti acids only treatment. I am limited on the quantity I can eat. Been carnivore for over a year. Not as much pain. Huge amount of oxalate dumping (which causes inflammation in digestive track). Tried high fat/sardine fasting/ cholesterol went to 430. Supreme nausea which lessened but still there. Any retention of bowel movements causes transverse colon to hurt so bad can hardly walk. Added a little arugula to help slow oxalate (1/2 cup )dumping Too much exercise hurts heart(chest pain) I run a farm. The arugula is low oxalate and the amount of fiber is only a couple of grams. Having a bowel movement daily. Eating lamb beef and fatty fish now. Any doctors who specialize in such things. Live remote Widow no living relatives accept semi-estrange child. I am trying to get help monitoring food, diet selections and any suggestions on the diverticulitis. So many wonderful improvements on carnivore. Hate to add fiber or plants back. I am a 100% Organic farm and raise sheep. Thank you Kelly-so love your Christian perspective. Jesus Christ is faithful. I think maybe just a lot of patience in losing more weight , but focus the tight choices food wise to slow down oxalates. I need suggestions on the food choices for oxalates and supplementation, blood tests and the interpretations of the blood work
Keep up the carbs/plant fiber to slow down dumping. We want u alive! No grains still -but leafies, sure: also cukes & celery are some more high water, fiber vegs - Dr Bright says all 3 are just bags of water & chlorophyll. I think zucchini & yellow summer squash may qualify too. Anything that u cook a little and can literally just wring the water out of. But not fruits lol they ARE water loaded but it’s sugar water. Stay as high meat as possible, maybe cut dairy to butter only (dairy binds ppl up often), drink broth daily and keep fat as high as possible to keep up BMs. Don’t worry about ur cholesterol, that’s a future problem at worst. NOW is keeping u alive and able to just stinkin walk & live w/o wanting to die from pain I’m so sry about ur suffering. I’m alone too and it’s so hard to be suffering physically when ur alone also.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah thank you so much for the encouragement. God bless you. Yeshua is The King Messiah too much food or fiber makes me bleed internally. So I just do enough 1/4-1/2 cup every other day. I am doing the best on my hime grown lamb. I will be praying for you. I need workers to help me buckle down for winter and slaughter some sheep for winter. God bless you in his precious and holy name Jesus Christ. Our beloved Yeshua
I'm really sorry to hear that you have had such a hard time. Diverticulitis is no joke! I have had an infection, while eating all the "proper" fiber foods and just narrowly escaped surgery. The meds for treating the infection are nasty! For 2 years, I have been Carnivore and not had any issues or flare-ups, except for on vacation. (See below.) I slowly worked up to 200-220 grams of fat daily and I never get constipated. I add 4 g. butter in my coffee with equip grass fed protein powder, 2X's a day. I also add 2 oz beef fat trimmings to 4 oz ground chuck and 2 T. tallow to 4 oz ribeye for 4 meals a day, as an example. I have only once., in 2 years, had warning signs of an infection (gurgling noises during digestion and bloating) last week when I was on vacation for 2 weeks. Even though I ate Carnivore, I wasn't able to eat as much fat as normal and I think a lot of my food was prepared with seed oils? So I ordered Oregano Oil pills and took them every 4 hours with my meals for several days. They are a natural antibiotic and the digesting noises and bloating stopped that first day. It never progressed further than that and I feel great with the extra fat. Hope this helps.
My favourite saying: "If it's good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me!" Christ ate meat regularly, as did all of the people of the region, mostly fish, lamb, and goat. Grains, vegetables, and fruit only supplemented their diets because most were poor. These days, it is an uphill battle to eat grains and fruits and vegetables because most of our food supply from agricultural sources is poisoned and nutrient depleted. But MEAT IS the least tampered with, and the most nutrient dense food available.
What about dairy is dairy permitted on the carnivore diet as there's mixed reviews when it comes to dairy as some people say yes, other people say no....What's your opinion on this....Thanks
I started carnivore 2 weeks ago. Dropped weight everyday the first week, losing 6 pounds. Then it stalled for 5 days, and I've gained 3 pounds the past 2 days. I don't know what to think. I know there's healing and muscles getting denser, but I had no appetite for days. Then I was nauseated the past 2 days. Bile salts helped, but I just can't eat much. What should I be doing with these issues?
I tried every single way for the past six years... A month at a time of zero carbs, I lost no weight at all... just up two pounds, down three pounds, up three pounds, down two pounds... over and over... Now I am eating nothing at all... just water and "silver tea"... (hot water).
You described me to a TEEE in the first 30 seconds. You can also tell that this guy is natural because he doesn't have the ninja turtle belly caused by juicing
I followed this advice over the last few months. I gained a little and did not always feel great. But somewhere along the line I started to be less inflammed, more energetic and I started to lose weight. Yesterday I had so much energy I walked 12k steps, tried on half the clothes in my closet as I cleaned it out, did errands, chores and danced around for no reason. Today unfortunately I am up 1.5 pounds. My legs are sore since typically I walk 8-9k steps. I am guessing it’s inflammation but it still feels scary. When the scale goes up, I start to distrust the process. I’ve given up almost all carbs except for infrequent avocados and cabbages. I gave up dairy, which was sort of my last comfort food. This process is definitely not a one and done. I am constantly trying to adjust myself.
So you started losing weight and feeling better?? But then you gained 1.5 pounds this morning?? That’s normal!! I can tell you from losing well over 130 pounds that it is completely normal for the scale to bounce up sometimes. I had weeks for the scale would go up up up and then down down down and then plateau. But month after month after month, the overall average kept slightly dropping. Human beings will always gain and lose a little along the way. Completely normal. If you are feeling better and getting results over the course of weeks and months, please stick with it. Progress is never linear.
Women have been restricting calories for centuries eating salad and men accuse women of being weak, emotional or crazy 👀 Its long overdue women have permission to eat steak too 👌🏼
Looking for help but not finding any true answers: I’ve been carnivore since 3/9/24. My biggest struggle is smelling the breath of non-carnivore people, including my dear husband. I can smell every spice that was in their meal and it STINKS, like rancid garlic and onions mixed together 🤢. Has anyone had this side effect? Will it ever go away? Hoping for some support.
If I’m nauseated I have this hypersmell I smell food too. Like raw lettuce. It smells as strongly to me as an apple pie. I’m generally nauseated when I fast. Are u undereating? So ur starving?
@ definitely not because I use carb manager to track my macros for the very reason of under eating. It seems to happen when others eat a high garlic/onion seasoned meal. It’s like I can smell their insides.
I have the opposite problem I ma underweight and cant put on weight I am thinking I need to reintroduce carbs in order to gain weight but I dont want to bump up my blood glucose numbers
I eat 80/20 and drink the fat that comes out but it's not much fat.. I can't eat butter, I get a nasty allergy. Also not all people who put on weigh for years but always retained water and maybe drinking too much water? And those who aren't active should they increase the amount of food they eat? It's not that easy.. :-(
Consider asking a local butcher for fat scraps from their beef or pork, cut them in strips and air fry them. You will end up with crunchy fatty snacks to supplement your main meal. You can also make sauces just with egg yolks. And you can do this even if you can't do a lot of exercise
@@nataliajimenez1870 That sounds very tasty. I'm in a rural area and have no butcher around. I could ask Safeway meat dept. if they do have. So, that's what you do with it: fry it? I'll check with them to see if they have meat fat. I don't think they don't have tallow. I can eat eggs the same as butter. I walked for 40 min. almost every day.... It's crazy but trying to not lose patience after 10 months on 80/20. Thanks for the help. I do appreciate it. I'm 71 and not very active, which doesn't help, I suppose.
Ive been Carnivore for 9 months and only lost 24 pounds. Ive been strict Carnivore but do have Skyr regularly for protien and fat, should I cut that out too and stick to just BBBE?
Are you fasting too? Try to only eat in an 8 hour time span. You can drink coffee, tea and lots of water during the fast period. Carnivore eating should satiate you so that fasting 16 hours is quite easy. Best to you. PS. I don’t count calories. 16-18 hours is the goal but try 12 hours to begin. No stress. It should be a way of life and not making yourself suffer.
I've tried everything. I gained 50 lbs quickly years ago. I lost 20 of it 2 years ago and have put it back on. I'm soooo frustrated but at the same time I have zero desire to go back to eating how I did. I just wish I could afford help. Just to have someone hold my hand for a bit to help me figure this out.
I'm a 5'4 female 145lbs, and I have no idea how much protein and fat to eat each day. I drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning and probably put 3tbsp kerrygold in each cup. Is that to much fat? I also cook all my food in butter.
@@danilynn0916 so roughly a half a lb Can u do another burger instead of chicken? More fat n double the protein. Can u eat 3-4 eggs at breakfast or have couple hard or soft boiled with dinner with the 2 burgers? At 5-4 ur LBM is prob 130-140, ur not much over wgt. That LBM needs about a lb of meat a day. Roughly 100g protein. So ur rly undereating protein. That’s Not Good. Muscle & bone mass is very important.
Well Kelly, JT’s a guy Why would old fat ladies go listen to how great carni is for him lol we got Dr Chafee, Dr Baker, Dr Berry etc all already telling us how carni is so sweet! We need WOMEN, esp older than 45. We aren’t trying to get buff. Totally different goals here. And totally different materials than they’re working with lol I rly like JT tho; keep on, brother!
@YeshuaKingMessiah it's not a 'lol' situation, I've worked with hundreds of men and women, and done my due diligence in achieving the credentials need to specifically help people with their nutrition, and exercise if that's what they're after. Sexism and ageism is a criminal offense, just so you know. Pretty much in every country I think 🤔
O em gee It’s fine Are u going to live on air It’s a selling ploy Just like they did to Green Pastures cod liver oil back in the day for being fermented. Marketing ploy only. Ignore and keep eating it.
How about if you are LMHR? I am ok with LDL high, but around 500 it disturbs me. I got it down to 350 in about 3 weeks by adding in just a few healthy carbs. So I am not strict carnivore now. More ketovore. I am also a normal weight, but I want to know if keto people can do the reverse diet too.
See none of this makes any sense... If I am 100 lbs over weight so that comes out to 350,000 cal of body fat. Lets say for arguments sake my BMR is 3500... And I'm carnivore and fat adapted. NOW I fast. Will I starve??? NO I will draw 3500 cals of body fat to feed my body. So I can last theoretically for exactly 100 days. Just the same way the Scottish fellow who didn't eat for over a year didn't starve. Now you are suggesting that for some reason beyond me. That if I eat 1500 cals my metabolism is going to blow up and I'm going to gain weight. NO if I eat 1500 cals I will draw out the extra 2000 cals in body fat to compensate. And these people who are eating 5000 cals and not gaining weight ... is it magical... no Its just passing thru their bodies in their stool. Its not disappearing into a magic metabolism spike cuse you twitch more... 3500 cals requires you to move your body around 25 miles to burn it. Yes you will burn a few calories but toe tapping will not compare to running a marathon.
Hons, if ur metabolically healthy, yes. Gradually upregulating doesn’t make u gain. B.U.T. HOW DO U THINK WE GAINED THIS WGT? LOL We didn’t wake up one day & start chugging melted butter shakes. It was GRADUAL. Cutting did not do it. LOL Not.At.All.
Man, this gives 'just eat meat!' a bad name. Hormones really screw woman up with outta control cravings half the month and emotional roller coaster the other half. We get less than a week of feeling normal. This diet is way more complicated than others who simplify it let on. It's kinda a pain in the butt.
Hormones balance out on carni. Give it a few mos. Then u can attempt the method she & he are talking about. Healing first. Can’t lose fat w/o healing first ❤️
@ I did five mos, no real wgt loss maybe 10# (need to lose prob 60) and body recomp stopped too I ran out of money to buy meat as I got injured n lost my job I’m thinking maybe I just needed to hold on a few more mos. But honestly I did not choose to stop. I would have kept going. I love the ease of meals. There’s no recipes. Just slab of flesh, sear n eat. Hunk of flesh, stew and eat. Eggs, sear n eat (I like them runny). Sardines and tuna, open can n eat. Butter, take a bite. I could live with a cast iron skillet & 1 burner only as I never got roasts.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Yeah it is a simple diet for sure. But not the cure all everyone touts it to be. It does reduce inflammation drastically and that is never bad. I might need to try whole foods along w mostly meat. Hope you can get back to it as we got few options in this poison planet. God bless.

Terrific interview! JT is so down-to-earth (not alarmist!) and easy to listen to (and look at 🙂). I really like his approach!
Change creates results,
Subtracting is a factor initially BUT if you're Under eating over time, chronically metabolically challenged then you Need to ADD more calories or macronutrients or more Protein and more Fat to stoke the metabolism fire 🔥
When the campfire is dwindling down you add more logs to build the flame, same applies to our metabolism.
So cute seeing Kelly in full-on Fan Girl mode!! It has been refreshing to see how many folks in the keto/carnivore space also share our faith.

So if they talked about the Dalai Lama and Hinduism u would have fine, I’m betting. Doesn’t sound very respectful of all.
Well said. I don’t want to hear anything off topic about imaginary friends, I too have religious derived traumas.
HRT would be the starting place. Perhaps by being Carnivore for the long term - you could stop if you choose - but without hormonal support? It’s easy to stay stuck.
For me HRT - including Testosterone - makes a huge difference. That and taking digestive enzymes to help me eat more and digest well when I eat.
The evidence for harm is too strong
No one is HRT deficient. We are at diff stages of life. Diff, and diff levels of, hormones. It’s ok. It’s ok to be diff from a 26 or 46yo. Ur 66 or 76! Diff life stage.
This is exactly me!! I lost 100lbs on keto, got stuck, went carnivore and I'm still stuck. I've been stuck for over a year. My question is.. when I reverse diet, exactly how long should I stay at the maintenance phase before going back down. I NEED TO KNOW PLEASE!!!! 😩😩😩
Sounds like a couple wks
They want u to be a client to find out.
@@YeshuaKingMessiahAbsolutely!!!
Good morning, kelly.
So glad you’re talking to someone from the male species because sometimes we can feel a little left out in the cold on ur channel. 🥶
50 other channels u would feel the testosterone flowing, my man!
If it’s good enough for Jesus it’s good enough for me! 👊
Awesome content once again, and Christ followers to boot. John 16:13 -- However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth...
Christian carnivore here too, love your videos
Good morning from Copperhill Tn. 😊😊😊
Another great interview.
Love this dude! His content is top shelf - funny AF and informative!!
I'm a year+ on carnivore myself and thriving! Love you Kelly, thanks for posting!
Two of my favorite carnivore people to watch! All in one place. Love it!
This is speaking directly ME! Thank you!!! 💗🙏🏻💗
Christian carnivore tribe! Wooo!
LOVED JT's response to that instagram clip...well done!
Excellent
Fabulous interview !! Really enjoyed this 🎉 I've been experimenting with adding in more fats and protein and tracking my energy expenditure and im loosing weight and eating more. I do resistance training and walk every day too. But I love food also. I've also got rid of all sugar !! 🎉 I do feel a sense of freedom too 😊
Love listening to you Kelly ❤️
Loved this!! I saw his episode with Linda and needed more. I know I need to work on a reverse diet and tweak some things. Thank you both 😊
Lately, I have decided to pull back on carnivore. I was losing too much weight. I am getting too cold in the winter. I have reintroduced some coconut flour to make snacks. Weight loss has stopped but is stable. Thanks for all you do.
Awesome podcast. Two my favourite carnivore
I think this is the issue for me. Where is all this fat coming for people? I cook good middle ground beef in some butter, and I save the drippings. Lately I’ve been putting it in little silicone candy molds. Guess I’m not eating enough fat. (Data: 76 y/o, 5’0”, currently 138 lbs, target 125, hypothyroid.)
Buy beef fat trimmings and crisp up
Tallow
Duck fat
Schmaltz (from chickens)
Beef belly
Very fatty meats
Anita at Ketogenic Woman channel (she’s carni now) has vids on highfat carni
I totally still eat too much. I’m primed all the time 😂 I hate eating less. I can snack all time too. Get bored snack. Stressed snack. Reward snack. Only way scale seems to go down is if I eat nothing. Ugh
Try filling yourself up more at meals, then be intentional about eating. It is so hard if you are still hungry. Journal what you are doing so you can identify your triggers. That helps me. Hang in there!!
Keep it up and u WILL get to where no intake doesn’t work anymore.
I lose zero fasting
ZERO
Days long, water & salt only.
Stop ur emotional eating now. Listen to my experience
Good morning
Sleep also influences fasting blood sugar and BP. When I don’t get at least 6 hrs. 50 min. sleep at night (I’ve been tracking sleep for over 3 years now), my blood sugar & BP will both be higher in the morning. Since my tracking and journaling has been on my phone or computer, I rarely was able to avoid them before bed. I have devised now a version of my trackers to print and use in paper form. I hope to print these today to avoid using any screen time at night. As a tech geek, I have tried to avoid this, but I have stalled in my health progress and am taking this step because my health is more important.
Thanks for your advice. I know it works because I have stepped up my calories gradually over the past 6 months and maintained my weight, fluctuating between 130 and 135. I still have about 10 lbs. to lose, but will wait a bit till I can eat about 2,000 calories before attempting to lose those. (I started at a BMR of 1,029 calories and would gain weight if I ate 1,300.)
Have you considered blue light blocking glasses or a filter on your screen? Maybe that could make a difference😊
@ , yup, it helps some, but not as much as working with paper and pen. Even reading a book (paper pages) vs. listening to the same story via audio book makes me sleepier. Perhaps I’m just weird. 🥴
@@veronicaheaney3464 Got it!😄👍🏼
I have diverticulitis. This is my third time in infection. The pain, exhaustion,
Lack of bowel movement anemia and internal bleeding has wracked me. No doctors know how to deal with any of it. Some say roughage. Seeds nuts make no difference and they beat me down and tell me the carnivore diet will kill me and give me. The conventional world says no cure, knife, anti acids only treatment. I am limited on the quantity I can eat. Been carnivore for over a
year. Not as much pain. Huge amount of oxalate dumping (which causes inflammation in digestive track). Tried high fat/sardine fasting/ cholesterol went to 430. Supreme nausea which lessened but still there. Any retention of bowel movements causes transverse colon to hurt so bad can hardly walk.
Added a little arugula to help slow oxalate (1/2 cup )dumping Too much exercise hurts heart(chest pain) I run a farm. The arugula is low oxalate and the amount of fiber is only a couple of grams. Having a bowel movement daily.
Eating lamb beef and fatty fish now. Any doctors who specialize in such things. Live remote Widow no living relatives accept semi-estrange child.
I am trying to get help monitoring food, diet selections and any suggestions on the diverticulitis. So many wonderful improvements on carnivore. Hate to add fiber or plants back. I am a 100%
Organic farm and raise sheep. Thank you Kelly-so love your Christian perspective. Jesus Christ is faithful.
I think maybe just a lot of patience in losing more weight , but focus the tight choices food wise to slow down oxalates. I need suggestions on the food choices for oxalates and supplementation, blood tests and the interpretations of the blood work
Keep up the carbs/plant fiber to slow down dumping. We want u alive! No grains still -but leafies, sure: also cukes & celery are some more high water, fiber vegs - Dr Bright says all 3 are just bags of water & chlorophyll. I think zucchini & yellow summer squash may qualify too. Anything that u cook a little and can literally just wring the water out of. But not fruits lol they ARE water loaded but it’s sugar water.
Stay as high meat as possible, maybe cut dairy to butter only (dairy binds ppl up often), drink broth daily and keep fat as high as possible to keep up BMs. Don’t worry about ur cholesterol, that’s a future problem at worst. NOW is keeping u alive and able to just stinkin walk & live w/o wanting to die from pain
I’m so sry about ur suffering. I’m alone too and it’s so hard to be suffering physically when ur alone also.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah thank you so much for the encouragement. God bless you. Yeshua is The King Messiah
@@YeshuaKingMessiah thank you so much for the encouragement. God bless you. Yeshua is The King Messiah too much food or fiber makes me bleed internally. So I just do enough
1/4-1/2 cup every other day. I am doing the best on my hime grown lamb. I will be praying for you. I need workers to help me buckle down for winter and slaughter some sheep for winter. God bless you in his precious and holy name Jesus Christ. Our beloved Yeshua
I'm really sorry to hear that you have had such a hard time. Diverticulitis is no joke! I have had an infection, while eating all the "proper" fiber foods and just narrowly escaped surgery. The meds for treating the infection are nasty! For 2 years, I have been Carnivore and not had any issues or flare-ups, except for on vacation. (See below.) I slowly worked up to 200-220 grams of fat daily and I never get constipated. I add 4 g. butter in my coffee with equip grass fed protein powder, 2X's a day. I also add 2 oz beef fat trimmings to 4 oz ground chuck and 2 T. tallow to 4 oz ribeye for 4 meals a day, as an example. I have only once., in 2 years, had warning signs of an infection (gurgling noises during digestion and bloating) last week when I was on vacation for 2 weeks. Even though I ate Carnivore, I wasn't able to eat as much fat as normal and I think a lot of my food was prepared with seed oils? So I ordered Oregano Oil pills and took them every 4 hours with my meals for several days. They are a natural antibiotic and the digesting noises and bloating stopped that first day. It never progressed further than that and I feel great with the extra fat. Hope this helps.
More fat, more food - I struggle with having an appetite. Since being carnivore, I'm just not hungry and struggle at 1800 calories a day.
Same here. I have no appetite when eating only meat.
My favourite saying: "If it's good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me!" Christ ate meat regularly, as did all of the people of the region, mostly fish, lamb, and goat.
Grains, vegetables, and fruit only supplemented their diets because most were poor.
These days, it is an uphill battle to eat grains and fruits and vegetables because most of our food supply from agricultural sources is poisoned and nutrient depleted. But MEAT IS the least tampered with, and the most nutrient dense food available.
Thank you! ❤
I'm renovating an old stone cottage. I'm lifting and moving for hours! 😅
What about dairy is dairy permitted on the carnivore diet as there's mixed reviews when it comes to dairy as some people say yes, other people say no....What's your opinion on this....Thanks
How do I get my body to burn my own fat instead of the fat that I eat?
Thanks
I started carnivore 2 weeks ago. Dropped weight everyday the first week, losing 6 pounds. Then it stalled for 5 days, and I've gained 3 pounds the past 2 days. I don't know what to think. I know there's healing and muscles getting denser, but I had no appetite for days. Then I was nauseated the past 2 days. Bile salts helped, but I just can't eat much. What should I be doing with these issues?
Loved this. Thank you❤
Question Do I understand, reverse dieting works in conjunction with carnivore/low carb? This doesn’t work if you’re doing it with carbs? Thanks
Right
No carbs
How do you feel about Carnivore with Avacados?
“Keto”
Yes it’s ketovore
N if it works, ain’t nuttin wrong with it
I tried every single way for the past six years... A month at a time of zero carbs, I lost no weight at all... just up two pounds, down three pounds, up three pounds, down two pounds... over and over... Now I am eating nothing at all... just water and "silver tea"... (hot water).
Nice one!
You described me to a TEEE in the first 30 seconds. You can also tell that this guy is natural because he doesn't have the ninja turtle belly caused by juicing
Love the t-shirt 😊
Brilliant, subbed !
Does that have to be consecutive hours of sleep?? Naps acceptable???
I followed this advice over the last few months. I gained a little and did not always feel great. But somewhere along the line I started to be less inflammed, more energetic and I started to lose weight. Yesterday I had so much energy I walked 12k steps, tried on half the clothes in my closet as I cleaned it out, did errands, chores and danced around for no reason. Today unfortunately I am up 1.5 pounds. My legs are sore since typically I walk 8-9k steps. I am guessing it’s inflammation but it still feels scary. When the scale goes up, I start to distrust the process. I’ve given up almost all carbs except for infrequent avocados and cabbages. I gave up dairy, which was sort of my last comfort food. This process is definitely not a one and done. I am constantly trying to adjust myself.
So you started losing weight and feeling better?? But then you gained 1.5 pounds this morning?? That’s normal!! I can tell you from losing well over 130 pounds that it is completely normal for the scale to bounce up sometimes. I had weeks for the scale would go up up up and then down down down and then plateau. But month after month after month, the overall average kept slightly dropping. Human beings will always gain and lose a little along the way. Completely normal. If you are feeling better and getting results over the course of weeks and months, please stick with it. Progress is never linear.
U had muscle growth which brings fluid retention
Ofc u gained a teeny tiny bit of wgt
Stay The Course. Do Not Be Sidetracked.
Women have been restricting calories for centuries eating salad and men accuse women of being weak, emotional or crazy 👀
Its long overdue women have permission to eat steak too 👌🏼
I’m overlap!
Looking for help but not finding any true answers: I’ve been carnivore since 3/9/24. My biggest struggle is smelling the breath of non-carnivore people, including my dear husband. I can smell every spice that was in their meal and it STINKS, like rancid garlic and onions mixed together 🤢. Has anyone had this side effect? Will it ever go away? Hoping for some support.
If I’m nauseated I have this hypersmell
I smell food too. Like raw lettuce. It smells as strongly to me as an apple pie.
I’m generally nauseated when I fast. Are u undereating? So ur starving?
@ definitely not because I use carb manager to track my macros for the very reason of under eating. It seems to happen when others eat a high garlic/onion seasoned meal. It’s like I can smell their insides.
I have the opposite problem I ma underweight and cant put on weight I am thinking I need to reintroduce carbs in order to gain weight but I dont want to bump up my blood glucose numbers
Good News 🎉 eat more to lose more 🤓
Reverse dieting stokes the metabolism 🔥
I eat 80/20 and drink the fat that comes out but it's not much fat.. I can't eat butter, I get a nasty allergy. Also not all people who put on weigh for years but always retained water and maybe drinking too much water? And those who aren't active should they increase the amount of food they eat? It's not that easy.. :-(
Consider asking a local butcher for fat scraps from their beef or pork, cut them in strips and air fry them. You will end up with crunchy fatty snacks to supplement your main meal. You can also make sauces just with egg yolks. And you can do this even if you can't do a lot of exercise
@@nataliajimenez1870 That sounds very tasty. I'm in a rural area and have no butcher around. I could ask Safeway meat dept. if they do have. So, that's what you do with it: fry it? I'll check with them to see if they have meat fat. I don't think they don't have tallow. I can eat eggs the same as butter. I walked for 40 min. almost every day.... It's crazy but trying to not lose patience after 10 months on 80/20. Thanks for the help. I do appreciate it. I'm 71 and not very active, which doesn't help, I suppose.
Ive been Carnivore for 9 months and only lost 24 pounds. Ive been strict Carnivore but do have Skyr regularly for protien and fat, should I cut that out too and stick to just BBBE?
Carnivore includes dairy
Lion Diet does not
Maybe u need to go Lion 🤷🏼♀️
Are you fasting too? Try to only eat in an 8 hour time span. You can drink coffee, tea and lots of water during the fast period. Carnivore eating should satiate you so that fasting 16 hours is quite easy. Best to you. PS. I don’t count calories. 16-18 hours is the goal but try 12 hours to begin. No stress. It should be a way of life and not making yourself suffer.
Thank you I’ve lostover26 pounds
👍❤️
How does the reverse diet work with insult resistant
I've tried everything. I gained 50 lbs quickly years ago. I lost 20 of it 2 years ago and have put it back on.
I'm soooo frustrated but at the same time I have zero desire to go back to eating how I did.
I just wish I could afford help. Just to have someone hold my hand for a bit to help me figure this out.
I'm a 5'4 female 145lbs, and I have no idea how much protein and fat to eat each day. I drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning and probably put 3tbsp kerrygold in each cup.
Is that to much fat? I also cook all my food in butter.
A stick of butter almost
So are eating about a lb of meat too?
@YeshuaKingMessiah
Sometimes 2 eggs in the morning. And i eat the same at dinner which is 2 chicken thighs and a burger patty.
@@danilynn0916 so roughly a half a lb
Can u do another burger instead of chicken? More fat n double the protein. Can u eat 3-4 eggs at breakfast or have couple hard or soft boiled with dinner with the 2 burgers?
At 5-4 ur LBM is prob 130-140, ur not much over wgt. That LBM needs about a lb of meat a day. Roughly 100g protein. So ur rly undereating protein. That’s Not Good. Muscle & bone mass is very important.
This was helpful 😊
@YeshuaKingMessiah that was extremely helpful, thank you 🙂
I will definitely try that!
Everybody's body type is different For me intermediate fasting and prolonged fasting worked well
Then you have to take in consideration if you are like Paul Saladino and climb mountains and surf half a day
If I don’t get over 6:30 hrs of sleep, I know I will not lose any weight.
👍👍awesome
Its IMP to note that mens metabolism is different than womens metabolism
So look out Coach Bronson❣️😂
Still don't get it. 😢
Well Kelly, JT’s a guy
Why would old fat ladies go listen to how great carni is for him lol we got Dr Chafee, Dr Baker, Dr Berry etc all already telling us how carni is so sweet!
We need WOMEN, esp older than 45.
We aren’t trying to get buff. Totally different goals here.
And totally different materials than they’re working with lol
I rly like JT tho; keep on, brother!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah nonsense, study and experience eliminates this.
@ says a man and who’s young lol
@YeshuaKingMessiah it's not a 'lol' situation, I've worked with hundreds of men and women, and done my due diligence in achieving the credentials need to specifically help people with their nutrition, and exercise if that's what they're after. Sexism and ageism is a criminal offense, just so you know. Pretty much in every country I think 🤔
Has anyone read the report on different types of salt ? Redmonds has too much lead .
O em gee
It’s fine
Are u going to live on air
It’s a selling ploy
Just like they did to Green Pastures cod liver oil back in the day for being fermented. Marketing ploy only. Ignore and keep eating it.
I still drink wine but the rest of my diet is carnivore. Help?
When you do reverse dieting when you go back and forth it sounds like yo-yo dieting of sorts
@@bpysher9004 no, it's called macro cycling with specific endpoints. Entirely different methodology
From224 to 198
❤❤❤❤❤
How about if you are LMHR? I am ok with LDL high, but around 500 it disturbs me. I got it down to 350 in about 3 weeks by adding in just a few healthy carbs. So I am not strict carnivore now. More ketovore.
I am also a normal weight, but I want to know if keto people can do the reverse diet too.
👍
🙌🙌🙌❤️
See none of this makes any sense... If I am 100 lbs over weight so that comes out to 350,000 cal of body fat. Lets say for arguments sake my BMR is 3500... And I'm carnivore and fat adapted. NOW I fast. Will I starve??? NO I will draw 3500 cals of body fat to feed my body. So I can last theoretically for exactly 100 days. Just the same way the Scottish fellow who didn't eat for over a year didn't starve. Now you are suggesting that for some reason beyond me. That if I eat 1500 cals my metabolism is going to blow up and I'm going to gain weight. NO if I eat 1500 cals I will draw out the extra 2000 cals in body fat to compensate. And these people who are eating 5000 cals and not gaining weight ... is it magical... no Its just passing thru their bodies in their stool. Its not disappearing into a magic metabolism spike cuse you twitch more... 3500 cals requires you to move your body around 25 miles to burn it. Yes you will burn a few calories but toe tapping will not compare to running a marathon.
Lost so much weight I look anorexic. What I wouldn't give to get weight back on carnivore! I have increased my intake massively...will not gain weigh.
Hons, if ur metabolically healthy, yes. Gradually upregulating doesn’t make u gain.
B.U.T.
HOW DO U THINK WE GAINED THIS WGT?
LOL
We didn’t wake up one day & start chugging melted butter shakes.
It was GRADUAL.
Cutting did not do it. LOL Not.At.All.
Man, this gives 'just eat meat!' a bad name. Hormones really screw woman up with outta control cravings half the month and emotional roller coaster the other half. We get less than a week of feeling normal. This diet is way more complicated than others who simplify it let on. It's kinda a pain in the butt.
Hormones balance out on carni. Give it a few mos. Then u can attempt the method she & he are talking about. Healing first. Can’t lose fat w/o healing first ❤️
@YeshuaKingMessiah I'm already at 7 months and at 50, I see no balance and weight loss is stalled for 2 months...so good times!
@ I did five mos, no real wgt loss maybe 10# (need to lose prob 60) and body recomp stopped too
I ran out of money to buy meat as I got injured n lost my job
I’m thinking maybe I just needed to hold on a few more mos. But honestly I did not choose to stop. I would have kept going. I love the ease of meals. There’s no recipes. Just slab of flesh, sear n eat. Hunk of flesh, stew and eat. Eggs, sear n eat (I like them runny). Sardines and tuna, open can n eat. Butter, take a bite. I could live with a cast iron skillet & 1 burner only as I never got roasts.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Yeah it is a simple diet for sure. But not the cure all everyone touts it to be. It does reduce inflammation drastically and that is never bad. I might need to try whole foods along w mostly meat. Hope you can get back to it as we got few options in this poison planet. God bless.
Totally agree with you 😂😅😭
I enjoy his channel.....................😄💪
I just dont have enough time left to do your reverse diet 🫤
