Maria and Craig, your approach to carnivore weight loss is the only way I’ve lost weight. I’ve tried it all. Less fat was the answer. Thanks for all you do.
You made our day!
@MariaEmmerich what is a good resource to start doing this? I’ve been doing carnivore for about two months and struggling to lose hip/lower body fat. I’m also very short and not overweight but definitely holding extra fat in these areas
@@sally0404 You can start with getting proper macros here:
mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/
People should not be mean. This is not a one size fits all. People who are lean can do high fat. High fat works for some and not for others. Thank you for continuing to do what you do. You are helping the majority of people get healthy by dropping carbs. We are all in this together. 😊
Age 72, keto for 3 years, lost 45 pounds & kept it off. So for the simplicity of keeping carbs low I moved to carnivore & maintained my weight loss. After 6 months I decided to incorporate resistant training into my routine. The result? Well my waist remained the same, but I regained 20 pounds. My supposition is that I've regained and added muscle mass which is vitally important for a senior citizen. I don't look fat or overweight, but I'm not a skinny old man either. And I can't remember ever having "just fallen" with no cause (last winter I fell to 1 knee while walking on dry snow covering Ice--I don't count that as a senior citizen fall).
I am so happy you had Linda on. All of the lipedema doctors I’ve heard that recommend keto/carnivore, preach a high fat approach. That just never made sense to me. I had listened to Linda on UA-cam years ago, even before finding you Emmerichs. It’s great to hear she’s figured out that the higher protein, lower fat is the way to go.
All I’ve learned from the Emmerichs, I’ve learned for free from watching their free UA-cam videos, using their free macro calculator, being in their free Facebook groups, and incorporating their free recipes. I have purchased a bunch of their cookbooks and have even joined their paid challenges, mostly to support them and as a thank you for all of the free knowledge they provide us with.
Thank you!
@@craigemmerich you’re very welcome!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! 🙏🥰
@@MariaEmmerich you’re welcome!
I'm so glad you found this helpful! A lower fat approach has definitely helped me so much! I hope it helps you, too!
Maria, you don’t have to defend yourself, just keep doing what you’re doing-you and Craig are influencing hundreds and thousands of people🎉
I felt so bad for Maria on "Reversed". I totally agree and appreciate your stance on fat. Ken Berry does good work but he's not accurate about many things. I think there is an awakening taking place in regards to fat and flexibility.
What are the many things Ken Berry is inaccurate about? I have been watching him for over a year.
I think Dr. Berry and others who encourage additional fat is inaccurate too. I added fat at his personal suggestion on a zoom chat 6 months ago. All that happened was a 7 lb gain. After listening to Craig explain the science in a recent video I stopped adding fat, even having lower fat meats, sirloin and tenderloin instead of a fatty ribeye. In 3 weeks I lost only 1 lb but my body composition is noticeable.
This was the confirmation that I needed, when I started carnivore I went full on fat and believed calories didn't matter, I was active but I'm also small and I gained a lot of fat. I recently found a trainer that specializes on petite women, i had no Idea my approach should be different due to my size, I would do the bulking and cuttings recomended mostly for bigger people and never worked, high protein has helped to stay within my caloric range and to reach my daily protein goal. I can tell that I'm getting leaner.
Way to go! 💪
Me too! You've given me a little hope. I was 98 lbs when I started; which is a good weight for me. I've been between that and 100 most of my adult life. I did not want to gain weight. I didn't at first, but then it seemed to quickly come - on my abdomen and butt - all fat! I gained almost 10 lbs to weight more than I ever have. It is uncomfortable, I feel it weighs me down (literally) so I now have less energy, and have not yet got much help for the GI issues I hoped to resolve.
It appealed to my history of binge eating - eat as much as I want! Of course calories matter. I agree they are not everything - but logic alone suggests that a person can't just eat an unlimited amount that is more than their body can use without gaining weight. I think most folks doing these diets are overweight, so they can eat that way perhaps and still be in a caloric deficit. Worse, I used to be able to lose weight quickly just by cutting my intake for a few days or a week, but this weight isn't budging. I'm really scared. Wish I wouldn't have been so naive. Thanks for sharing your experience - I assume you are doing weight training? Maybe I will try to up that and hopefully help - a trainer would probably be a good idea to keep me on track!
Are you doing about 1g per pound of ideal body weight or more protein?
Wow Craig!!! That explanation of insulin levels as the body burns fat was a new way for me to understand ❤
🥰Craig, 🥰Maria, 🥰Linda🥰The three of you showed me how it’s done for those of us who can’t get results from the classic carnivore. Thanks to the 3 of you I have found the answers for me. You are all wonderful!💜
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching ❤️
Well isn’t classic carni the Lion Diet? MEAT
No dairy, including butter
I'm so happy that this info is helping you! Thank you for watching and for the sweet comment!
Even before I knew about Craig and Maria in 2005, I was diagnosed hypothyroid. I did take armor thyroid and I was very hungry for sashimi and filet mignon and the weight came off because I wasn’t adding any extra fat to my meals nor did I want it. Prioritizing protein is the way.💪🏻
Linda is beautiful ❤❤
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you! I'm glad prioritizing protein has been key for you, too! 🔥
I'm sad to hear you left doing the Reversed series upset and why you were upset. I just wanted you to know that the series is what led me to you, and I'm sure it led others to you too, so hopefully you can take some comfort in that 💕. I have PCOS as well, which drew me to you.
🙏🥰❤️
Came here to say the same: The Reversed series led me to you Maria ❤️
Thank you. I get such a rash of hate when I mention that calories matter. When I started carnivore I ate unlimited fat and gained weight
Me too
Thank you so much for this interview and topic! I am so grateful that this popped up in my feed. I haven't read/listened to much from you Maria, but know you are a real 'OG' in this area and that means a lot. Unfortunately as someone I know said; everyone who eats a burger for a week has a 'carnivore' YT channel and I started following what I now consider bad advice. Just eat as much as I want. especially fat! In fact, if I have a craving, have some butter, etc. I have a slight build, and did not want to gain weight - if nothing, maybe loose 3 or 4 lbs around my middle which was new for me. My main 'why' was to heal severe GI issues, and get some energy I hear everyone raving about. I ended up gaining almost 10 lbs of fat - on my abdomen and buttocks - and it is very uncomfortable. Also can't fit into most of my pants. I'm now struggling to lose it - I used to be able to lose weight easily just cutting down for a few days or a week - but now this weight won't budge, even with cutting back on the amount I'm eating.
Please keep speaking out - unfortunately so many of these big name influencers have gone too extreme with the 'calories' don't matter mantra.; and that is a dirty word. I agree - it is more complex than simple 'calories' - but the basic principle still holds. If you eat more than your body needs or can use; it will be stored and you will gain weight. I also have a history of eating disorder with binging and purging - and all this did was give me permission to binge. I can binge just as easily on meat and butter as I can on carbohydrates. For me, it is more than carb addiction - it is the comfort of eating.
I think the majority of people using these diets are very overweight, so can support eating a lot of calories - or very musclular and athletic like some of the influencers and their bodies can support 3 or 4 thousand calories a day.
Now I feel less energetic and more depressed with this extra weight - and I don't know what to do. I'm afraid to eat carbs, although to be honest; I had maintained my weight at about 100 lbs my entire adult life on a primarily carbohydrate diet. Sure wish I would have heard this first. Don't stop sharing your message. It is unfortunate that even in the carnivore space, people are eager to make a name and income... and the idea of being able to eat whatever you want is very attractive.
Thank you for your kind response!
What a great show. I have about 35-40 lbs. to lose, and I used to pound the fat when on Keto like crazy, but I'm more conservative now. It's been a long circuitous journey for me, started with Paleo about 10 years ago, then tried Keto about 7 years ago. I lost 60 lbs. (didn't reach my goal...only about 15 away), but then had 4 surgeries with in a 2-year period, plus menghorria and over 3 years gained 40 lbs. back. I quit drinking wine on Dec. 27, 2030, started Keto Vore on January 1, 2024, and so far, have lost 25 lbs. Unfortunately, I undereat and fast way too much so I'm so glad to listen to this show! I walk several times a week and lift weights. That is my sweet spot.
I lost so much respect for one specifically because of how you were treated on that show. I was angry watching it. Thank you for standing your ground 🙌🏻
I am so grateful for your kindness and support 🙏❤️
I love you and Craig. I can’t imagine where I would be if I hadn’t found you and Craig in 2017. I am one of your success stories and you have my testimony on your website. I have almost all of your cookbooks and your Keto book that is behind you. And you are a friend of mine on FB. I follow all the other influencers but you two have my heart always.
Thank you so much!!
Thanks!!
Linda looks so healthy she is beautiful...great interview guys much appreciated ❤❤
Isn’t she the best?!
@@MariaEmmerich You look amazing too Maria, love your curly thick hair..wishing you & Craig healing & health much respect from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you so much and thank you for watching! ❤
I'm so glad I found this (and subscribed). I know I'm going to put off a lot of people, but I can't watch many of the carnivore youtubers anymore. Doesn't matter if they are doctors or just people with great results and now become coaches. I've been asking for 8 months why I don't lose the weight, I get "you are healing, stop worrying about your weight and one doctor told me to love my fat' I am healing but I want the weight I gained while being sick to go and I don't think that's a bad thing to want. I walk and run every morning, and I'm told you are exercising too much! Also told eat more fat! One doctor told me to reduce the fat and eat more protein and I THINK, but not sure it might be starting to work..but I'm also busting my butt at work nearly 7 days a week to, so that might be it. I eat OMAD and then I get scolded I need to eat more. Others say you HAVE to be cheating. I am not, I prefer the lion diet,just red meat and I'm full after one meal and granted, it doesn't look like much and I'd think after 8 months, I'd have lost a lot of weight. One youtuber had such great results, but he's in your face like what is wrong with you? Almost angry at everyone for not being carnivore. It's all getting to be such a big turn off. One dr community had a free membership trial and I tried it to see how it was and maybe get some guidance but everyone ignored me and talked about carnivore snacks, so I didn't join. I can't afford these paying groups as it is so I just plug along and try to figure it all out myself.
I am struggling like you and still trying to find answers.

Thank you for taking the time to write this, because I feel exactly as you do; but have been reluctant to say anything. Unfortunately, as one you tuber I DO respect says "anyone who eats burgers for a while has a carnivore you tube channel'!! And often fancies themselves as a 'coach' or some authority. Even some of the MDs I feel are a little remiss in painting everyone with a broad brush. I cringe when I hear some people handing out what is medical advice on live chats to someone they know nothing about. And, when I hear things like a young woman telling someone who was not losing weight for MONTHS, she just needs to eat more! And to tell someone like me, who is gaining unwanted weight, that it is my body 'healing".
BULLOCKS! If you are not losing, or gaining (over a period of time) it is b/c the diet is not correct! Eating more fat is not the answer! I logically knew this, but I did fall prey to it for a brief time. Having almost 10 lbs of fat around my abdomen and butt is not 'healing' , and I also feel worse. Yet - as you experienced; this has become a 'fact' with some of the big name influencers. The calorie concept is more nuanced than initially known - but that does not mean it is completely irrelevant! I actually read Dr. Atkins original book - and he did have a uber high fat plan for short term use for the 'metabolically resistant' - BUT it was calorie restricted! One form was butter and macadamia nuts - but 900 calories a day. One stick of butter and a few nuts spread out throughout the day. That is why it worked.
I'm going to go on with your roll! Then. they all want you to join their private group, or coaching program, or whatever if you want more 'personal' guidance. It's only $30, or $5.99 a month , but that adds up and I don't know about others, but I can't afford to join everyone's group - especially to find the 'coach' has less education and health knowledge than I do. You do not interact with the 'big name' doc or influencer who is running the channel (and making the $) . I'm sorry if that sounds snobby, but I think it is an issue. I think it is great when people share their stories, or interview others; but need to take some pause when handing out advice. I also think in the desire to 'sell' carnivore - you tubers focus on the dramatic stories of quick results and healing in weeks (sometimes even days are claimed). I beleive this happens, but I suspect most of us - not so dramatic and not so fast; and therefore are tempted to give up OR worse, as you experienced, told you are doing something 'wrong' - because we are not allowed to admit that it's not working , or I'm not getting the great results others are.
I do believe in a meat based diet, and eating healthy fats, and all the basic priniciples - but you are spot on about how sadly this has also become another money making venture for many. I joined one of the private groups and found it little to no help also. It was very clique-y - reminded me of junior high! The 'regulars' were friendly at first, but after that, seemed like they would all talk to each other. I would post a question or topic, hoping to get discussion , and it was mostly ignored. No reason - I was polite, etc. and obviously there for discussion. I also noticed that certain members seemed to run the group and were very judgmental toward people who expressed doubt - or wondered about eating some vegetables etc.
Well, Debbie, keep on going. I do find these YT comment sections are good. I also just can't afford to spend more money for memberships , etc. plus, I'm soured with the idea. I don't like giving out my credit card info and having money withdrawn monthly, etc. Makes me nervous. Anyone can open a discord group for free. maybe we should just start a general carnivore discussion group at no cost!
My macro calculator I link above is free. And you will get results if you follow it. :)
This has been a mind opening conversation. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
Nice chat. I needed that. 5+ years carnivore and I got into that extra butter thing. Gained some pounds too. I'm going to try it your way now.
You got this!
yes, you absolutely can gain weight on the Carnivore diet. I inadvertently gained 20 pounds of fat. At my age I should have prioritized the protein over the fat rather than vice versa. I was already somewhat overweight when I started. After a year I was a fat fatty. I have recently switched it up, making sure I am prioritizing the protein, and sacrificing most of the fat. Once I get to my desired weight, I will add fat back into the diet.
Way to go!
I’m so happy I found you Maria and Craig; I began following a carnivore diet just to try to lose belly fat, however, eating so much fat went against everything I believed in. Then I read about your diet, and it made a lot of sense. I have now purchased everyone of your books. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
You made our day! Thanks for watching ❤️
🙌🏻 THIS 🙌🏻 has to be one of the absolute best interviews for ME! I have been keto since 1/7/21 and Ketovore foe nearly a year of it. Can’t seem to lose the weight from my hips & legs “mostly”. I know now what I’ve been missing! HALLELUJAH lower my fat!!! The macro calculator has my fat too high apparently.
Thank you for watching!
Lowering the fat has been so incredibly helpful for me! Definitely worth giving it a solid try!
Thank you so much for this interview, becausre all the butter makes me huge and fat!! And sluggish. So glad you still have the same info over the years
Great interview… ❤❤❤❤
Wow this was a great video as always!😊
Glad you liked it!!
This was awesomeeeee, I need to watch it again !! Thanks

Thank you for watching and commenting during the live, Karen! Love you! 💕
I don’t know if lab levels are always accurate, for the reasons Maria mentioned, but also you could be asymptomatic with low levels so why treat? Really we should be treating symptoms in my opinion.
You know I'm always cheering for you and Maria, @@thecarnitarianlife
@@MariaEmmerichI sure sure!
Im carnivore, and do believe you can have two much fat, that will prevent weight loss. And some of the popular carnivores have mentioned that also.
Great interview🥰
Thank you for watching ❤️
What a great video! I am under four feet tall, and this video truly helps regarding protein and fat intake ❤
Thanks for watching!
Thank you as I was finding the butter and meat was not helping with my hormones. Glad you hear you both state, what I have just learned, we age and can possible need hormone replacements.
Yep. There's only so much food can do. Sometimes getting some help is what's needed. 🔥💪
Thank you so much! Thank you from Mexico! It's Nicté here, trying to heal a thyroid nodule and bipolar
Love you all! Linda is also my coach!
I needed this reminder. I’m such a small person and still sometimes fear that I need to eat more calories or my metabolic rate will tank but I think I spent many years eating too much energy for my body’s needs. I think I with replaced carbs with excess fat so working through that addiction! Hoping to burn it off in 2024 with PMSF! 💪🏽
Thanks for watching, Anjoli! Yes! Let's get you sorted and reaching those goals! 💕💪
Stay away from PSMF, you will get depressed and not very happy. Rather just balance fat intake, if you have enough fat on yourself, eat less fat :)
PSMF is a tool and it works very well for many people. But you don't have to do PSMF if you don't want to.
It’s so true! I only started getting super lean after incorporating lean / PSMF days to a carnivore diet. Thank you for all the info you both give out!
Way to go! Thanks for watching! ❤️
This was such a great discussion. Very informative. Thanks Maria, Craig and Linda!!♥
Thank you for watching! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
My gastrointestinal doctor told me the people who are keto / carnivore have better digestion and poop than his veggie high fiber patioents. He said fiber is overrated!
Great doctor!! 👍
Down 121 pounds since December 27 2022🎉 THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST FOR SETTING ME FREE FROM FOOD ADDICTION FOR THE 1ST TIME IN DECADES! 🎉 only walked for exercise and only found carnivore (whole foods meat only) 2 months ago and thats when FOOD FREEDOM came! 🎉
I find that I have a narrow but sustainable window for what feels best for me: whole chicken breast, grass fed NY strip steak only lean meat eaten but pan drippings consumed, and tuna/shrimp 1-2 times/week. I'm egg intolerant, anything processed inflames me, and I need my red meat almost daily. I'm also dairy intolerant
Congratulations!!!
Amazing I’m excited for you! Do you consume lots of fat ?
@@JESUSCHRISTISGOD627❤
Hahaha, as i sit here with my coffee in hand! However, I made up my mind when I made it this morning, it’s going to be my last.
Love what you said about the ketone numbers “all that those numbers mean when they are high is you’ve had a lot of fat” I used to think they needed to be high for years. This is a verrrry helpful video, thank you! 😊
Thanks for watching!
I joined the Carnivore for weight loss January challenge and FINALLY was able to lose fat and change my body composition. Keeping track of my macros really helped. I continue on the challenge on my own and seeing further progress. Lowering my fat intake was the key to my progress.
My go to recipe is the one for carnivore bagels - love those!!!
Thank you Maria and Craig! ❤
You made our day!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome!!
PSMF days really kicked off my weight loss trend, but now that I’m leader they are hard to tolerate. Which is fine. I still have that tool in my toolbox thank you Craig and Maria.
THis is SO good! My issue is being able to get the required protein IN --because I have been so low in carbs for so long I have very little appetite and getting 120 gm of protein in has been almost impossible. Also though--my weight is stalled and in fact am gaining some weight. The light bulb went on as you were talking that I LIKELY have too much fat in my diet yet! I will shift that proportion now. But the hormone issue--wow--at 73 I assumed I had to just accept low everything so this is definitely an area I need to explore.!Great video!!
Glad this video was helpful 🙏❤️
Where do we go to get our hormones tested? Doctor, I’m guessing, but what kind of doctor?
Great video!! I missed the coffee thing!! What video did you discuss the negative aspects of coffee as I drink a lot and would love to know! 😮
Thanks for tuning in! Learn more about coffee here: ua-cam.com/video/7aayrfxjdY0/v-deo.htmlsi=Q91NxmAubmt1s0Vr

I love you guys!

Wow! I needed to hear this. I still am not sure what direction to turn but I do know that I can still believe in these way of eating. I’m just confused because I don’t think I can cut back more on food.

I appreciate this conversation. I've been carnivore for a while, yet struggle to lose these last 5-10 pounds. (I'm down 115 already from my high weight.) Everyone says to eat more fat. That just doesn't feel satiating to me. Adding in a couple PSMF days per week seems a better path for me. Thank you for confirming what I suspected was the right path for me. 😊
Congratulations on your success so far! Thank you for watching! ❤️

What a great interview and information. I initially lost 35 pounds of the 46 I needed to lose. I have been stalled for over 2 years. Yes, increase the fat is all I've been hearing. I put 8 pounds on last November to December. At 1st of year, i eliminated nuts and yogurt, but did not make a difference. I am going to try to lower fat, except for in the meat itself. Heading over to find your information on coffee. I only do 2 cups in a.m. Is this also the culprit? We'll find out, once i talk myself into giving it up.

I love this interview! I needed this info so much! 🙏🏻 I am struggling with pain on carnivore and I think because I’m eating too much fat and calories 🤔 Also the fatty cuts of meat are so expensive 😂
Thanks for watching!
Interesting info.
Glad you think so!
I wish I had found you before some of the other carnivore influencers. I feel like I have the issue with inflammation and edema, water retention all through my ankles and feet very bad, and it can be painful. I've been trying to try the high fat way of carnivore too, and don't notice many results. I will have to restructure this to a higher protein low fat approach, and see if that helps with the inflammation, water retention and relieve MS symptoms...🙏🏽💜

I know Craig and Maria have been around the carnivore influencers for a while, but I thought if I follow them, it will be like being in an echo chamber, but after listening to them after the first 35:00 minutes, it seems they are not ready to agree with others in the carnivore space/community on ‘YT’. Very refreshing to hear anecdotal evidence from them. Thanks Linda for being so candid and having a conversation with Mr & Mrs Emmerich. 👍🥩😎
Thank you for watching!!!
Thank you! No echo chambers here! ☺️
Maria you have it bang on 💪
Thank you!
Maria, love your lasagna recipe! As a fellow native Wisconsinite, we tend to be an open and polite bunch. Thanks for sharing. The very respected Zoe Harcombe is not Carnivore.
oooh I gotta go find that ! yummy...everything maria gives us is freakin delicious!
I have been 20 days in now, and I have had such bad digestive distress. I added a few pickles the other day, and I had to cut back on fat. I feel a little better today, and have decided to add romaine occasionally and I will allow myself to have a pickle now and then also.
Add HCL Pepsin. You are likely low on hydrochloric acid 🙏 mariamindbodyhealth.com/hydrochloric-acid-with-pepsin/
Eat cold or at least rm temp fat and meat
For some reason it stops the GI trouble n diarrhea till u acclimate to the new WOE along with gradually introducing the meat and fat esp if you’ve been vegan or rly lowfat, etc for a long time
@@YeshuaKingMessiah I’ve been pretty much Keto for some years now, and I never lost any weight. I will try as you have suggested. Thanks.
@@M.Sforza oh sad!
I lost 55# with keto but lost my hair too
Carni had me regrowing hair I swear!

Hmm I’ve been carnivore 5 months, age 62, very healthy female, weigh 131 lost only a few lbs. I’ve been high fat and thus gained fat on legs. Also seeing lots of new spider veins even the appearance of varicose veins that I have never had! Could it be for the high fat diet or maybe HRT ( on that only 9 months, not testosterone supplement) I’m switching it up after watching this video! I have your book Maria and Craig and I so appreciate this video! My legs though, very thick and now more veins?!
It’s hard to say, but getting your macros right is a good place to start ❤️
I am ketovoire, just think that full on carnivore is too restrictive. My carbs are under 10 grams have some leafy greens with dinner. I was so glad to hear about the fat. Been keto over 5 years and my fat macros were always low. Just raised my protein macros and lowered my fat macros…
Hell yes you can gain weight on this diet. I've been doing it 3 months and haven't lost a pound. No processed foods. Dairy, Beef.. moderate amounts of chicken and fish. I am however getting many benefits from the diet though. My arthritis is gone. I sleep better. Energy is up. Over all mood is better. I have narrowed it down to Dairy being my devil in weight loss and possibly to much protein and not enough fat. 80-90% of my primary meals are ribeye. But I use cheese (not raw) as a snack. I did cut dairy out for 3 weeks. Dropped 7 pounds. Then I put cheese and milk back in rotation. So.........looks like today I quit my dairy addiction and will cut protein intake and add fat to see if it gets me down. I'm on my wife's account......Scott
I’m 5’, volune eater, 55, went into menopause about 7 months before going carnivore (12 months carnivore), lost a lot of weight first 8 months, then gained on high fat but also began extreme oxalate dumping. Always been muscular, still am, sleep great. No menopause symptoms except gravity affecting the face and neck.
When i added extra fat because of all the information about high fat carnivore, it really helped me deal with stress at the time. Trying to find the sweet spot now and get that bikini body again.
@@olgakuchukov6981 It was mostly the reduced carbs that were helping with healing. Especially if overweight, the body has plenty of fat in reserve to tap into so you don't need a ton in the diet to heal. :)
@@craigemmerich it’s tough to feel satiated on low fat carnivore coming from volume addiction. No desire to add carbs, however. I do eat low carbs including coconut plus bow that it’s spring in the NE, I’ll be adding non-toxic greens and fruit that I grow, in small amounts. I’m working on healing this after a lifetime. I’ve discovered short-term dry fasting (24-72hrs), really love it. For me it’s all or nothing, with the middle (eating smaller portions) really hard. PSMF was super hard due to always wanting to eat more amd being mentally food-fixated. Not eating or drinking at all is way easier, liberating, a great reset to my ox-dumping symptoms and other gut-damaged symptoms. I don’t lose any muscle mass or feel weak (drt fasting is muscle-sparing), in fact the opposite. So far, on my 4th contiguous dry fast (once a week or so) I’m super energetic and tackle tasks I use food to procrastinate doing. It’s a great tool! The challenge, for me, is the refeed. I want to stuff myself and i lose my zen and sense of equilibrium. It’s fascinating.
Thank you for your comment!
@@olgakuchukov6981I was a volume eater too then went highfat carni and WOW. I finally discovered what SATIATION was. 12oz steaming broth, 2T butter or schmaltz, lots of s&p, vinegar & 3 eggs stickblended in will keep me 5-6 hrs. I’m not even chewing it which is a no-no to begin with.
A lb of ribeye steak w/its fat crisped up will satisfy me too even tho it’s done in 10min.
The volume was always a subconscious attempt to SATIATE.
I also have high stress in my life. I also had no problem dry fasting 40 hrs weekly (on wkends) and felt it was very helpful also twd budging my stubborn IR. Then I “rewater” ofc first of all. Then broth without eggs is how I break my fasts. Butter in it. Maybe bonito flakes and even seaweed. Fasting has never made me clearer thinking or high energy etc so I appreciate the food again and don’t lose it. Hope u figure it out for u 🙂
@@olgakuchukov6981 how much weight do you have to lose?
Im wondering does this still apply to a pear shape figure.. linda described me im so skethal looking on the top my bones show but my thighs & bum still have the fat desposits. ..I exercise daily walk daily concentrate on lower body...im hoping it will improve ❤
It definitely could be a contributing cause 🙏
I started looking great on Carnivore, but 6 months later, I'm building up lipedema. Trying not to panic.
Make sure you are eating proper macros, and avoid all dairy 🙏
I have a huge problem digesting beef. Really painful. Can I do psmf without beef? If I use other healthy protein can I still get all the benefits? Thanks so much for your help ❤
You can eat lots of different animal proteins. Just pick leaner ones like seafood, fish, chicken. :)
Try higher quality steak and make sure to chew it up 🙂
I almost never eat beef on protein sparing days. I eat chicken breast, shrimp, and white fish...lot of egg white soufflé omlettes.
What do you eat on none protein sparing days
@@azadehgolshani9985I would say that’s when she eats her beef and lamb and salmon, sardines and yolks etc
Makes sense ye but whats your opinion on eating till satiety for maintenance? And then play around with the fat grams depending on what goal you have
For maintenance that is exactly what we recommend doing. Use fat as a lever :)
@@MariaEmmerich asking this bec im into bodybuilding on the carnivore diet and i can eat a lot haha (coming from obesity starting point). Best to find protein satiety and then simply adjust the fat lever is what your saying?
It's always very important to reach your protein goal each day. Then eat fat to satiety for maintenance.
What percentage of fat were you doing as was the one your body responded so well too? Was it the same every day or did you alternate higher fat with lower fat?
You should focus on macros instead of percentages. Percentages are too prone to error depending on how many calories you eat. We have a great macro calculator here (just read the notes at the top):
mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/
@craigemmerich thank you for responding, appreciate the info
I completely agree with @craigemmerich. Best to focus on macros rather than percentages. To give you an answer about what I had been doing vs what I do now... I had been eating 150+g of fat a day. I now average about 80-90g of fat a day. I had been having about 140g of protein. I now average about 180-190g of protein.
@@thecarnitarianlifethank you so much for this. Do you check your blood sugar? I get the meat sweats with so much protein and my sugar goes up. I’m going to change and try this. Was scared to go this high in protein. I also can’t eat as low calorie as the calculator suggest. So this is very helpful.
@@carolinacarnivore6776 I don't usually check my blood sugar, no. But when I have it's usually around the 80s. Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you found this helpful!
Dr. Shawn Baker estimated his macros during his bulk to be 60% fat from his pedigree grass finished Ribeye Diet. He gained 80#. He started cutting in the last quarter of 2023. He is dropping about 4# per month.
Maria, you are beautiful! This was a great and very interesting program.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
This was such a great discussion and I wholeheartedly agree with Carnivore won’t fix everything. I have recently cured my SIBO and mould toxicity issues and no amount of carnivore dieting will cure or detox those symptoms. The carnivore diet can be used as a tool to help your symptoms feel better however it won’t cure your toxicity. The amount of strict (cult) carnivores who say they can’t eat certain foods if they go back to eating them , well there’s a reason for that. You did not get to the root cause of your issues. Plants can be used medicinally and I’ve done almost 2 years of herbal supplements in order to cure my mould toxicity and SIBO. I would bet my life on the fact that if most people dig even deeper they probably have a bigger underlying issue that eating a steak and a stick of butter won’t cure. But the carnivore community is a cult like veganism. 🤪🤡
Is there a link for the doctor that does the hormone assessments?

It's all making sense now! I am carnivore, was keto. Been carnivore for three months, I can't eat the fat that they told me I need to eat, my body just won't let me, its too rich! I like lean meat and fish. I was told I'm doing it wrong and I've got to eat loads of fat, I hate the fat. I don't mind a little crispy fat but really fatty meat puts me off and to be honest, has put me off so much I've gone back to carbs a couple of times then felt awful health wise. I'm glad I don't need to eat all that fat as I feel sick trying to eat it! I naturally love high protein, I love a bit of cheese a bit of cream a little butter, but trying to force it down has thrown me back to eating the standard British diet of crap! I'm used to that. Trying to gauge on fat is disgusting. Trying to eat butter is too much. I love a rump steak and chicken legs and wings. Prawns and oily fish. Rib eye is not so nice. I can't stand bacon. Eggs poached for me or omelette. I like keto ketchup. Trying to eat all the fat is really putting me off carnivore. I found this interview very helpful thankyou.
I am so glad this was helpful for you! ❤️🙏
I got Lyme disease too. Messed me up.
🙏
Do you think ET(essential tremors) can be fixed with Diet. I asked my doctor about hormone test and she ignored me. I got a functional diagnosis done. My testosterone was high for my age. So keep building muscle.💪
I have ET as well. Would love to hear feedback.
I think diet can be very helpful, yes.
@@craigemmerich Do you think high Fat carnivore like for epilepsy? I just quit coffee ☕️ a week ago
@@valeriemartini6315 the cases where higher fat can be helpful are seizures, Alzheimer’s, and some other brain conditions like bipolar.
Do you do private teaching Im watching alot of youtue videos on carnivore and im really mix up between fat and protein and I dont poop!

what about gluconeogenisis if you only eat mostly protein?
Not a concern. facebook.com/ketoadapted/videos/in-this-video-we-discuss-protein-gluconeogenesis-and-why-you-shouldnt-fear-prote/1827403037404444/
That is a myth. ua-cam.com/video/yMrJZJdEB0o/v-deo.html (ua-cam.com/video/yMrJZJdEB0o/v-deo.html)
The body will use all the protein you eat. There are processes for slowing digestion, the amino acid pool, etc to ensure you do.
examine.com/nutrition/how-much-protein-can-you-eat-in-one-sitting/
Ok now im confused. I have over 100# to lose have lipedema as well. How do I know how much protein and fat to have and how much protein is too much?

Kelly Hogan told me calories do matter. She put me on a deficit.
Calories definitely matter. Other things matter too (macro composition of those calories, hormones, etc). But calories do matter.
So…. What are some good fat percentages you think are most successful. I am going to decrease fat because I have not made a dent in the final 15 lbs I need to lose, and would profit from knowing some appropriate macros.
We don’t go by ratios because there’s no good way to quantify that. To kick start weight loss and healing the first and most important thing is to get your macros right. You have a few options:

Greetings, I am new to this community. I started out using fasting and Keto to control diabetes. During the last 7 months, I have been able with diet and the help of the Lord, I have been to control diabetes and lose weight. However, I am in a stall, and I need to lose approximately 20 more pounds. Recently, I found carnivore. Since only eating meat, fish, and butter, I have gained weight. This is the first time I have heard of protein sparing. This interview is great but also very confusing. Where can I find the proper information regarding this process to continue my health journey. Thank you very much.

I get a bad heartburn 3 or 4 hours after I eat. If I reduce the fat in my meals the heartburn worsens. I can aliviate it by eating butter.
If I need to reduce that heartburn with no extra fat...what can I do???
I would start by eliminating any dairy & spicy foods, avoid meals anytime close to bedtime, and add HCL-pepsin (a digestive enzyme) and a quality daily probiotic like Just Thrive: mariamindbodyhealth.com/keto-shopping-and-supplement-guide/
@@MariaEmmerich thank you!
Atkins worked well for me in 2001. I had a prison ramen noodle gut and found Atkins. I fell off and used (drug addict) again. Clean now since 2016. 2021 found carnivore and it worked well for a couple years. Went from 210 lbs down to 173. Over the past 9 months I'm creeping back up 187 lbs today. I eat so much fat it's ridiculous but because that's all I hear about on carnivore. I'm halfway through your video and COFFEE was briefly mentioned. Coffee is a big part of my day hopefully you elaborate more in the video. If not could you please tell me more about it?

Very interesting! What is protein recommendation for 80 year old, 5ft needing to lose 30lbs?
For a 5ft tall 80 year old female you should try to get 90g of protein per day. Fat should be about 20g less than your protein goal for weight loss 🙏❤️
@@MariaEmmerich so sorry, didn't think to ask: do you recommend carbs during weight loss stage?
So reduce the fat and it will help my lipedma?
Absolutely 👍
Who is doc for post menopause hormone. Never had mine checked. 64 yr old
You’ll have to reach out to your GP or OBGYN 🙏
Dr. Elizabeth Bright is published on high fat for hormones in women. She also does not advocate low protein.
Internet Keto, Dr. Eric Westman term, is probably best defined as a lot of greens and low carb vegetables, fat from plant sources, and protein less than 50 grams per day.

I watched that Reverse show and couldn’t get through it. I thought it was a show of feely-feely and not for beginners. I didn’t like to see how disrespectful they were to you Maria. It turned me off of from some of the gurus. I gained weight on high-fat carnivore. In fact, I’m now overweight and never was overweight in my life before. I am going to try your way.
I’m here for you 🙏❤️

Eating lean protein, very low fat, to facilitate your body burning its own fat stores.
