I listened to the nutrition advice online "eat until comfortably full" and when I did this, I naturally ate very little food. When we eat protein rich, fatty, nutrient dense foods, it can be so hard to eat enough. However, I am so glad I did NOT continue to "listen to my body" initially as my body was so used to be in a calorie restricted state for so many years. I'm not kidding 90% of people who I talk to one-on-one are not eating enough food and in doing so this dramatically negatively impacts their health. This is the video (ua-cam.com/video/_5VgHg6dnY4/v-deo.html) you need to watch when it comes to making sure you're eating enough food in general...it is directed as a weight loss video but even if you're not trying to lose weight, you'll likely still find it helpful, as I was someone who was not trying to lose weight but still struggled to eat enough food. Take care my friends and keep honoring your body with nourishing foods!
The goal is to be in tune with your body's hunger signals. We should be able to eat when hungry and stop when full. Allow yourself the satiation and you won't feel a need to snack unnecessarily throughout the day. Trust that your body knows how much it needs. If you heavily restricted for a while, it will take more to satiate you. But trust the process. Once your brain knows that there isn't a scarcity of food, you'll be able to stop. Leptin and ghrelin (hunger hormones) respond great to meat and eggs. You'll find it difficult to over consume them. Satiation happens quick. Try eating 1000 cals of eggs vs 1000 cals of donuts. Protein/fat is much more satiating than carbs because of how our hunger hormones recognize them. Prioritize these foods. Also note: Calorie counting is a very new thing. When we ate natural diets, we had natural/healthy bodies. No one needed to count calories for weight management. Our hunger hormones are weight management. Allow them to regulate.
Fat is SO important. I think there are a lot of people out there trying to do carnivore that are just eating way too lean (or not enough food!), and they wonder why it isn't working for them. You've got to stop being afraid of saturated fat!
You need healthy fats to function. It's one of the biggest lies ever told to say otherwise. We burn first water, and then fat to process carbs and protein. The trouble is the unhealthy fats, like seed oils, don't accomplish what quality milkfat does.
I can add bad sleep to the list of not enough fats signs: I’ve been dealing with bad sleep for awhile after going carnivore. I ate a lot of protein (a lot more than fats and carbs) and started waking up every hour or so and then couldn’t fall asleep at all. Yesterday I “accidentally” had a glass of 20% cream (because it was delicious and I couldn’t stop drinking it 😅), then went to bed and slept through the night, not waking up even once, for a total of 10 hours! I’m going to add more fats to my diet on a regular basis and see, if it fixes the sleep issues for good!
Yeah I used to wake up at 1 or 2 and couldn't go back to sleep. Started eating more fat and even will down a tablespoon or 2 of butter if I can't sleep and it helps.
Whats 20% cream? It sounds delicious! Is it the same as heavy whipping cream? My kids and I love that stuff…I give them cups of it. Lol They are so calm and happy when they drink it. I offer it to them all the time and about half of the time they will have some.
@@genesismccormack7540 Yes, that’s what I meant! Heavy cream that has 20% fat in it (whipping cream has around 33%). It’s delicious in coffee and just on its own!
@@LolaSteininger Dr. Elizabeth Bright talks about the importance of fat for women. Adding a stick of butter cured my perimenopausal insomnia i had for five years. I'm sleeping like a baby from day one of adding the butter.

Ive been neglecting my energy sources fats / carbs by eating a high protein diet. Ive been wondering why Im exhausted all the time. Im going to try Lillies formula of at least 100 grams of fat per day plus addition carbs to equal my protein intake.
May want to peek down the vitamin B1 deficiency rabbit hole and see if any of that sounds plausible for you. I have recently done that and found some fascinating stuff. Check out EONutrition for some good info.😊
If you're carnivore then just use more butter, lots of it. I guess that's the main source of fat on this diet. For me I'm not carnivore so I put olive oil/coconut oil/avocado oil on everything instead😅 and honestly more fat has been so healing. Especially women of fertile age need it to produce healthy hormones!
I still don’t understand this push for extreme or restrictive diets. I am not at all convinced that carnivore is a diet most should adopt. I think that is almost certainly wrong. For one, if I tried that as an endurance athlete, I’d fall out and crash quickly. “Fat adapted” or not. If you’re lost in the sauce on all these different recommendations, my advice would be (provided you’re not diabetic, have PCOS, metabolic syndrome, etc) to return to the basics. Get 2-3 servings of veggies a day. 1-2 of fruit. If you like bread, superstar it and buy food for life brand bread. It’s flourless, way more nutritious and lower GI than typical bread, and is in frozen food aisle. Eat Whole Foods as much as possible. The fiber and nutrients will make a big difference to your health. This is slow motion medicine. Give it time. Make sure you’re getting enough healthy fats. Marine Omega’s are objectively superior to plant ones. Sufficient omega 3 levels are a strong predictor of lifespan. Make sure you aren’t nutrient deficient. Get some wheat germ and add to cereals. Buy a mag glycinate or threonate supplement. Common deficiency. If you don’t eat eggs or go outside a lot, take Vit D. Move a lot. Throw some d fermented foods in there. Kefir, kimchi. Emerging research continues to highlight how critical gut health is to overall health. You don’t need to do crazy diets. Most don’t, anyway. These basics are it. Think of the blue zones, the most tried and tested lifestyles and diets that lead to the longest lifespans. Nutrition is always contextual. I eat 3k+ calories and 300-500 grams of carbs per day. But I am also extremely active. I would give different advice to a diabetic, or someone sensitive to carbohydrates.
You need at least 50/50 protein/fat in relation to calories. Preferably 50/50 in weight. But if you come off carbs too fast your body has no time to adapt.
@@martinsvensson6884 I think I need that too, I check 6 of these boxes (sometimes 7 with the cold). The hamburger I eat is 85%lean. I guess I need to buy ghee or something to add?

I’m laughing a little at your sweet corrections, regarding misunderstandings, but I know there are many people out there who are not life long food scrutinizers, or Nutrient Nerds 😂. I’m thankful that you are encouraging people to live purposely. ❤️ Well done!
I notice my energy dropping like a rock when my body fat drops below 10%. Ramping up the protein to make energy does not work for me and eating carbs makes me always hungry. My body wants fat.
This video was so well put together. You explained this in a way that I FULLY understood everything you said. I'm truly impressed and happy to have found your channel.
I found that for me personally, that having too much protein compared to fats was still causing some extra stress on my body and I was still tired and my acne was not really going away as fast I was expecting. But once I tapered down my protein and added in more fats, I felt more mentally clear which allowed me to be more energetic and more mentally stable, and my skin and overall inflammation decreased. Still got some healing to do, but I’m determined to stick to this way of living. Thank you for this valuable information Lillie!
if you have trouble falling asleep/staying asleep, eat meat protein before bed. When I eat a small, maybe 4 oz, filet mignon steak before bed, I always sleep soundly.
I'm glad that's working for you but protein is hardest on the digestive system, that's literally what I have to avoid before sleeping or I don't sleep or my sleep quality is crap.
Also a fan of Lili from Germany 😊❤ Had very painfull periods lately, irregular cycle and also often tired. Looks Like I have to eat more fat. So happy I Just saw your Video. ❤
I started carnivore a year and a half ago, and started feeling much better in many ways. I didn’t have a lot of weight to lose, but lost around 15 pounds in 10 months, and my abdominal fat flattened out. Since then, my weight kept back up 10 pound and the abdominal fat started puffing up again. I’m fairly strict, but sporadically eat a couple mulberries or a loquats off the tree (in ketovore range) when they are ripe. I also have two cups decaf in the morning, one with iodine drops. I feel like I need to go back and review what I’m doing. Thank you for the guidance.
All this is very confusing to me so i have to simplify it totally. I eat mostly protien , whatever fat is on the particular meat i eat, i keep my carbs less that 50 each day, stay away from most processed foods and soda, no fast food and all the rest of the macros and micros are a wash and let the chips fall where they may. I hope doing what im doing will help me cuz i need to lose a lot of weight. Thanks lily for your great knowledge though even though some confuses me. 👍
Question? Fats do not clog arteries. My take is the damage done by bad foods is reflected in our circulation system. Clogs (a bad term) are caused by damage that is calcification or scabbing of the walls.
There is nothing wrong with eating it in moderation. Glucose gets a bad rep but your muscles and organs are specially made to store glucose if needed and the body has metabolic cycles that are made to easily break apart and use glucose. Carb is the easiest way to get glucose from food.
Excellent post Lillie, as always. Such clear, concise, & valuable content, every single time. I haven't checked in for awhile, yet every time I do your channel is up, Up, UP~ woo-hoo! I remember first finding it a few yrs back, & thinking how different the way you present information is, & how much I liked your way of approaching life. The more I listened, I realized how similar our backgrounds are, as well as what we chose to do coming out of all that. I'm 30 yrs older, & aware of the effort involved in forging ahead, despite the odds, & helping myself through helping others (retired social worker here). A lot of what is available now to reach people was not so much "back in the day"~ how weird I'm old enough to overuse THAT phrase, yikesAnyhow, point being, your own ripple effect outward has enormous impact & it's awesome to see & hear that happening. Grateful you chose to share your pebble in the pond, so to speak. A shiny pebble, a lovely pond.Samantha in AZ
FYI all..LMNT does have artificial ingredients. It contains maltodextrin and you can send an email to the company to fact check me 😉 I get frustrated with these people promoting LMNT, yet they have a hundred other videos calling out these bad ingredients in foods...smh

"What about a video on excessive fat consumption on keto?" This was the question I was about to ask... You cleared the doubts on Fat consumption 100% in just a quick video. All synthesised and full of value... Thanks a lot Lillie
Frankly i don't know what to do anymore. I've been listening to Jay and Mike and Ray Peat way of eating and the science is also amazing. One is on carb fuel and the other one fat fuel carnivore. I want to heal so much. Both claims that's it's THE way. I just can't eat meat and fat only, i've tried and tried again but it's not working i find it so hard to stick to it. If i could do a bit of carbs with fruits and eat my butter and meat fat and good meat i would be happy but only meat and fat it's not working for me, to restrictive
For one the first 4-6 weeks wean yourself off carbs week 1 do 150 carbs a day week two 125 week 3 100 week 4 75 Week 5 50 week 6 25 than week 7 none this way you ease yourself into it it’s what I did but I also fasted 1-2 days a week in the beginning it helps with cravings after 4.5 months I was down 102 lbs and the pinnacle of health now a few months more and now I’m body building on carnivore and it’s amazing!
Are bodies don’t work exactly the same. I was vegetarian for 20+ years and switched to carnivore, which improved my health immensely. Only you can figure out what’s best for you. Trial and error. 🤷♀️
I want to say two things in the beginning: One, I am carnivore and I do very well this way. Two, I understand not everyone is good with it. Here is what I would suggest: Try both approaches for a prolonged time. You might have to force it in the beginning, but only this way you can be sure what works. Make sure to have a transition period. I always ate a lot of meat so it was easy for me. If you ate lots of plants and carbs before, it might be more difficult. No shame to supplement while transitioning, i.e. electrolytes, maybe magnesium, maybe folate if necessary. I did when I startet, now I don't need it anymore. Stick with it at least three months, see how you feel and if you can keep it up. Seems this is the time you need to adapt mostly to the new lifestyle. If it doesn't work add some fruits and non starchy vegetables. 80% carnivore is still pretty good. If that fails do the same approach with the Ray Peat Diet. Again with a transition period. In the end, all that matters is, if you feel good and you can sustain it long term. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. 😊
Brother if it helps I was carnivore for over a year and started doing more RP inspired stuff like Mike and Jay and I feel much better overall. It's not one ultimate diet or bust, there are many facets to health and I find Ray to fully detail it better than anyone else
This is exactly what I needed this week! Thank you ❤I know I need more fat in diet. My vision has been suffering a bit - I will keep adding more fat and see what happens.
well, i did feel slightly better on keto and carnivore, but i honestly feel pretty good too when on carbs and i like them a lot so im not planning to remove them from my diet anytime soon at least. im really just following a weston a price diet right now and hopefully for the rest of my life. keto and carnivore were mainly a very interesting and fun experiment.
5:08 Your calculation is wrong. 140 lbs corresponds to 64 kilo grams. So your daily protein intake should be 64 grams - not 140 grams. Same mistake at 5:47 (typically imperial system issue)
I realized that I may not be eating enough calories. Hair falling out, low thyroid out and many nutrient deficiencies - just never very hungry. Going to try to do your balance and see if my appetite comes back.
Thanks Lilly 😘 Very helpful, and I’m gonna watch that “protein mistake” video next. You are the only one who has helped me understand macros without hurting my brain 😅🤗🙏🏼

I agree that that is a very good rule for most people. I started tracking because I realized when I did track that I've been eating under a thousand calories a day for like 35 years. 😬 I have to eat like it's my job to even get up to 1300 calories a day. I hate the feeling of being full and came from a childhood of food scarcity where I was encouraged not to eat so it just became a habit to do omad. I no longer do that, I force myself to eat three times a day. As long as I keep my calories up, health conditions all clear up and I lose weight and gain muscle. Not the typical thing I admit but it is my experience.
Great info. One old thought that has been debunked, though, is needing carbs for running, etc. Protein and animal fats will definitely fuel these requirements without carbs. Thanks, Lilly 🙂
8:41 I’m watching this video realizing that I have 6 of the symptoms of low fat + I have eye twitching as well!!! Let’s just solve all my problems today. 😉
I've noticed since I have lost over 140 plus pounds I can't regulate temperatures like I used to. Even keeping my fats up. Right now, middle of summer, that's not a problem.
Most everyone who turns to high fat, carnivore etc really complicate it. Its really quite easy and very uncomplicated and most have excuses. If you follow the simple method most everyone will benefit. Most actually dont know what is involved in eating this way
I was doing a ketovore type diet for years, and I'm currently pregnant. I'm at the end of my pregnancy, 36 weeks. In the last handful of weeks, I have started eating more refined sugars, carbs, and processed foods... stupidly. I blame it on cravings, stress, and anxiety. Prior to ketovore, I would binge and comfort eat. In the last week or so I've noticed my scalp is in sooooo much pain like I can't even brush my hair without it hurting significantly, rest my head on a pillow, or even touching it. Almost like when you've worn your hair up too tight for an extended period of time but far worse... I plan to get back on my ketovore WOE. In fact I started this morning. I'm hoping this will stop the severe scalp tenderness. Have you heard of this before, or has anyone here in the community experienced this? TIA
Lily, very informative video, though there's a minor confusion in there. You first mentioned the ideal daly protein intake to body weight proportion both in grams, then as a mixture of grams and pounds. The 1:1 ratio (which is btw correct by most standards I've seen) is usually the one you used later (g of protein:pounds of body weight), which would be around 2:1 if they're both measured in grams.
Would you clarify, please: Under how much protein, at first you said 1g protein: 1g ideal body weight, but in your example you used 1g protein to 1 lb body weight (ie 140 g protein: 140 lbs). Thank you!
Question! It looks like the thumb nail of the video shows a darkness under the eyes as a symptom, but you did not touch on that. Can that be a symptom of not enough fat? I ask, because I experienced darker than usual under eyes for a while and didn't know why I looked so rough, however, I've returned to normal. I never linked this thought together until now, but the only thing different I have done is try to be intentional about adding in healthy fats to my low carb diet (where as before I avoided them because of the calories).
Eat only fat to lose weight. Or Eat only protein to lose weight. Eat fat, protein, carbs importantly, together, in the same meal. This maintains healthy weight and apatite. Eating healthy carbs with animal protein and fat is a new formula i have found working great for me, plus keeps me full and hungry together.
@@w1975b Yes there is healthy carbs. On carnivore your adrenaline and cortisol is sky high from having to convert protein into glucose. Plus the dozens of other reasons. I think carnivore is great, though, but not for long term for most people.
@@multitablez7825 if there are no essential carbs (which there aren't), there are no healthy carbs. Carnivore is the species specific diet for humans, so it's for all people who are human. Humans have a TOLERANCE for carbs/plants, for survival not thriving. That tolerance varies between people, but the fact that plants/carbs are NOT what we're supposed to eat isn't changed.
@@w1975b i used to think that. What if Bart Kay is wrong? Just because something isn't "essential " doesn't mean it is not optimal. It's not essential because your body destroys itself creating the "carbs" on carnivore. It's high stress. Carnivores are not as bad as vegans but they are clouded.
@@w1975b Also, starch is needed for liver detox, meat cannot do this. fiber is also needed to create hydrogen in the gut. Meat cannot do this. Fiber also can help feed good bacteria, which meat can do too, but not as well.

Still got some healing to do, but I’m determined to stick to this way of living. Thank you for this valuable information Lillie!

You make some of the best videos in the health space!👍
if you have trouble falling asleep/staying asleep, eat meat protein before bed. When I eat a small, maybe 4 oz, filet mignon steak before bed, I always sleep soundly.
I'm glad that's working for you but protein is hardest on the digestive system, that's literally what I have to avoid before sleeping or I don't sleep or my sleep quality is crap.
I think Dr. Bright said you could have some butter/fat right before bed and that helps with sleeping too

Looks Like I have to eat more fat. So happy I Just saw your Video. ❤
I am eating pemmican through out the day and feel much better and now starting to loose weight..
Thanks Lillie...
The one video i really needed
Awesome! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for the feedback and have a blessed day :)
I started carnivore a year and a half ago, and started feeling much better in many ways. I didn’t have a lot of weight to lose, but lost around 15 pounds in 10 months, and my abdominal fat flattened out. Since then, my weight kept back up 10 pound and the abdominal fat started puffing up again. I’m fairly strict, but sporadically eat a couple mulberries or a loquats off the tree (in ketovore range) when they are ripe. I also have two cups decaf in the morning, one with iodine drops.
I feel like I need to go back and review what I’m doing. Thank you for the guidance.
Thanks for sharing your experience so others can read and benefit! Have a great week :)
Great topic. Thank you.
All this is very confusing to me so i have to simplify it totally. I eat mostly protien , whatever fat is on the particular meat i eat, i keep my carbs less that 50 each day, stay away from most processed foods and soda, no fast food and all the rest of the macros and micros are a wash and let the chips fall where they may. I hope doing what im doing will help me cuz i need to lose a lot of weight. Thanks lily for your great knowledge though even though some confuses me. 👍
If you feel lethargic, eat more fat to get your energy, it won't make you fat.
Question? Fats do not clog arteries. My take is the damage done by bad foods is reflected in our circulation system. Clogs (a bad term) are caused by damage that is calcification or scabbing of the walls.
We don‘t need carbs.
There is nothing wrong with eating it in moderation.
Glucose gets a bad rep but your muscles and organs are specially made to store glucose if needed and the body has metabolic cycles that are made to easily break apart and use glucose.
Carb is the easiest way to get glucose from food.
I agree with you 100% anytime I try to do that psmf I paid for it dearly. Mood swings irritability lack of sleep and starving!
Excellent post Lillie, as always. Such clear, concise, & valuable content, every single time. I haven't checked in for awhile, yet every time I do your channel is up, Up, UP~ woo-hoo! I remember first finding it a few yrs back, & thinking how different the way you present information is, & how much I liked your way of approaching life.
The more I listened, I realized how similar our backgrounds are, as well as what we chose to do coming out of all that. I'm 30 yrs older, & aware of the effort involved in forging ahead, despite the odds, & helping myself through helping others (retired social worker here). A lot of what is available now to reach people was not so much "back in the day"~ how weird I'm old enough to overuse THAT phrase, yikesAnyhow, point being, your own ripple effect outward has enormous impact & it's awesome to see & hear that happening.
Grateful you chose to share your pebble in the pond, so to speak. A shiny pebble, a lovely pond.Samantha in AZ
FYI all..LMNT does have artificial ingredients. It contains maltodextrin and you can send an email to the company to fact check me 😉
I get frustrated with these people promoting LMNT, yet they have a hundred other videos calling out these bad ingredients in foods...smh
the graphic at 4:48 is wrong - it should say 1gram of protein for every 1 pound of ideal body weight....?
Oops
How much is 1 gram?? (as far as meat goes) Like 1 hamburger, or what?
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 there are 16 oz of protein in a 4 oz burger.

Thanks a lot Lillie
Lillie-great info. You do such a good a job of explaining things and covering it in a way that know one else does! Thank you
I really appreciate how you explained this.
Frankly i don't know what to do anymore. I've been listening to Jay and Mike and Ray Peat way of eating and the science is also amazing. One is on carb fuel and the other one fat fuel carnivore. I want to heal so much. Both claims that's it's THE way. I just can't eat meat and fat only, i've tried and tried again but it's not working i find it so hard to stick to it. If i could do a bit of carbs with fruits and eat my butter and meat fat and good meat i would be happy but only meat and fat it's not working for me, to restrictive
If you wanna heal go carnivore plain and simple
For one the first 4-6 weeks wean yourself off carbs week 1 do 150 carbs a day week two 125 week 3 100 week 4 75 Week 5 50 week 6 25 than week 7 none this way you ease yourself into it it’s what I did but I also fasted 1-2 days a week in the beginning it helps with cravings after 4.5 months I was down 102 lbs and the pinnacle of health now a few months more and now I’m body building on carnivore and it’s amazing!
Are bodies don’t work exactly the same. I was vegetarian for 20+ years and switched to carnivore, which improved my health immensely. Only you can figure out what’s best for you. Trial and error. 🤷♀️
I want to say two things in the beginning: One, I am carnivore and I do very well this way.
Two, I understand not everyone is good with it.
Here is what I would suggest: Try both approaches for a prolonged time. You might have to force it in the beginning, but only this way you can be sure what works.
Make sure to have a transition period. I always ate a lot of meat so it was easy for me. If you ate lots of plants and carbs before, it might be more difficult.
No shame to supplement while transitioning, i.e. electrolytes, maybe magnesium, maybe folate if necessary. I did when I startet, now I don't need it anymore.
Stick with it at least three months, see how you feel and if you can keep it up. Seems this is the time you need to adapt mostly to the new lifestyle.
If it doesn't work add some fruits and non starchy vegetables. 80% carnivore is still pretty good.
If that fails do the same approach with the Ray Peat Diet. Again with a transition period.
In the end, all that matters is, if you feel good and you can sustain it long term.
I wish you the best of luck on your journey. 😊
Brother if it helps I was carnivore for over a year and started doing more RP inspired stuff like Mike and Jay and I feel much better overall. It's not one ultimate diet or bust, there are many facets to health and I find Ray to fully detail it better than anyone else
This is exactly what I needed this week! Thank you ❤I know I need more fat in diet. My vision has been suffering a bit - I will keep adding more fat and see what happens.
well, i did feel slightly better on keto and carnivore, but i honestly feel pretty good too when on carbs and i like them a lot so im not planning to remove them from my diet anytime soon at least. im really just following a weston a price diet right now and hopefully for the rest of my life. keto and carnivore were mainly a very interesting and fun experiment.
5:08 Your calculation is wrong. 140 lbs corresponds to 64 kilo grams. So your daily protein intake should be 64 grams - not 140 grams. Same mistake at 5:47
(typically imperial system issue)
I started adding butter snacks.... Which are a teaspoon or a tablespoon of butter in between meals.
I realized that I may not be eating enough calories. Hair falling out, low thyroid out and many nutrient deficiencies - just never very hungry. Going to try to do your balance and see if my appetite comes back.
Thank you for explaining it simply enough to understand. Great video ❤️
Thanks for the good information you share!

You can use those bad oils in old fashioned oil lamps. Look up how to make a wick for them out of cotton string, paper towel, etc.
The goal is to be in tune with your body's hunger signals.
We should be able to eat when hungry and stop when full.
Allow yourself the satiation and you won't feel a need to snack unnecessarily throughout the day.
Trust that your body knows how much it needs. If you heavily restricted for a while, it will take more to satiate you. But trust the process. Once your brain knows that there isn't a scarcity of food, you'll be able to stop.
Leptin and ghrelin (hunger hormones) respond great to meat and eggs. You'll find it difficult to over consume them. Satiation happens quick. Try eating 1000 cals of eggs vs 1000 cals of donuts. Protein/fat is much more satiating than carbs because of how our hunger hormones recognize them. Prioritize these foods.
Also note: Calorie counting is a very new thing. When we ate natural diets, we had natural/healthy bodies. No one needed to count calories for weight management.
Our hunger hormones are weight management. Allow them to regulate.
I agree that that is a very good rule for most people. I started tracking because I realized when I did track that I've been eating under a thousand calories a day for like 35 years. 😬 I have to eat like it's my job to even get up to 1300 calories a day. I hate the feeling of being full and came from a childhood of food scarcity where I was encouraged not to eat so it just became a habit to do omad. I no longer do that, I force myself to eat three times a day. As long as I keep my calories up, health conditions all clear up and I lose weight and gain muscle. Not the typical thing I admit but it is my experience.
Awesome video. You’ve really come a long way in your production and education. Great job!
I'm 63 years old.And I rarely feel low energy.
2:20 2:26 *_Wild caught,_* Lillie!
4:49 What?! So at an ideal weight of 130 pounds I should be eating 58,976 grams of protein? Yeah, I don’t think so 😂
Great info. One old thought that has been debunked, though, is needing carbs for running, etc. Protein and animal fats will definitely fuel these requirements without carbs.
Thanks, Lilly 🙂
definitely, but there is a period of adjustment for the body to switch over and do it well
Thank Lillie this was helpful!
Great content today, Lily! Thanks
As a nutritionist you should also know that carbs are not essential, you can boost your health with proteïne and fat only
Yes good fats definitely help us perimenopause gals to regulate hormones..I eat a lot of ghee... cultured ghee is even better ❤

You go girl!
This was my favorite episode very helpful.
I've noticed since I have lost over 140 plus pounds I can't regulate temperatures like I used to. Even keeping my fats up. Right now, middle of summer, that's not a problem.
Most everyone who turns to high fat, carnivore etc really complicate it. Its really quite easy and very uncomplicated and most have excuses. If you follow the simple method most everyone will benefit. Most actually dont know what is involved in eating this way
Very informative! Thank you 🙏🏽
You are the Jenna Marbles of health & nutrition! ❤
I was doing a ketovore type diet for years, and I'm currently pregnant. I'm at the end of my pregnancy, 36 weeks. In the last handful of weeks, I have started eating more refined sugars, carbs, and processed foods... stupidly. I blame it on cravings, stress, and anxiety. Prior to ketovore, I would binge and comfort eat. In the last week or so I've noticed my scalp is in sooooo much pain like I can't even brush my hair without it hurting significantly, rest my head on a pillow, or even touching it. Almost like when you've worn your hair up too tight for an extended period of time but far worse... I plan to get back on my ketovore WOE. In fact I started this morning. I'm hoping this will stop the severe scalp tenderness. Have you heard of this before, or has anyone here in the community experienced this? TIA
1 gram of protein for 1kg or pound of body weight... not 1 gram for 1 gram...
1 gram per 1kg, not one pound.
I’m having breakouts at 73!!! Help!😮
This is Very Informative 😊
Great video, thank you 🍀
This is excellent. Thank you!
How can i email you?? I'd like to know where you trained to do this and get your certification??❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lily, very informative video, though there's a minor confusion in there. You first mentioned the ideal daly protein intake to body weight proportion both in grams, then as a mixture of grams and pounds. The 1:1 ratio (which is btw correct by most standards I've seen) is usually the one you used later (g of protein:pounds of body weight), which would be around 2:1 if they're both measured in grams.
Great info!
JACKPOT video. I see where i need to improve. I need more fat!!!!!!!
852 calories if 71 grams protein and 71 grams fat for target weight 71kg(155lb) at 1 gram per kilo
Great video, thanks!
Thank you Lillie :)
Lovely video Lillie with tons of great & useful info, thanks
3:04 no morning wood
13:22 little tiny speaking mistake "140 pounds of meat ≠ 140 grams of protein" she meant to say "140 grams of meat ≠ 140 grams of protein"
I have that same undereating problem, for the same reason, and carbs help in the same way
Would you clarify, please: Under how much protein, at first you said 1g protein: 1g ideal body weight, but in your example you used 1g protein to 1 lb body weight (ie 140 g protein: 140 lbs). Thank you!
If you want to weigh 140 but currently weigh 160, eat 140 grams protein (1g protein per 1 lb desired body weight).
@@w1975b This doesn't clarify or resolve the contradiction in your video. Please clarify!
@@crism7684 I don't have a video.
I Love walnuts, roasted in Beef Fat, worcheshire sauce and herbs!!! Yum 😁
Question! It looks like the thumb nail of the video shows a darkness under the eyes as a symptom, but you did not touch on that. Can that be a symptom of not enough fat?
I ask, because I experienced darker than usual under eyes for a while and didn't know why I looked so rough, however, I've returned to normal. I never linked this thought together until now, but the only thing different I have done is try to be intentional about adding in healthy fats to my low carb diet (where as before I avoided them because of the calories).
Very good information! You always have so much to share…and willingly.
Aww thanks so much your kindness. I am so happy to read you're enjoying the videos. Have a smiley day :)
Thanks Lily!
Eat only fat to lose weight. Or
Eat only protein to lose weight.
Eat fat, protein, carbs importantly, together, in the same meal. This maintains healthy weight and apatite. Eating healthy carbs with animal protein and fat is a new formula i have found working great for me, plus keeps me full and hungry together.
There's no such thing as healthy carbs. That's an oxymoron - a combination of contradictory or incongruous words.
@@w1975b Yes there is healthy carbs. On carnivore your adrenaline and cortisol is sky high from having to convert protein into glucose. Plus the dozens of other reasons. I think carnivore is great, though, but not for long term for most people.
@@multitablez7825 if there are no essential carbs (which there aren't), there are no healthy carbs. Carnivore is the species specific diet for humans, so it's for all people who are human. Humans have a TOLERANCE for carbs/plants, for survival not thriving. That tolerance varies between people, but the fact that plants/carbs are NOT what we're supposed to eat isn't changed.
@@w1975b i used to think that. What if Bart Kay is wrong? Just because something isn't "essential " doesn't mean it is not optimal. It's not essential because your body destroys itself creating the "carbs" on carnivore. It's high stress. Carnivores are not as bad as vegans but they are clouded.
@@w1975b Also, starch is needed for liver detox, meat cannot do this. fiber is also needed to create hydrogen in the gut. Meat cannot do this. Fiber also can help feed good bacteria, which meat can do too, but not as well.
I ❤ you videos Lillie❤. I never tell anyone, " don't do, don't eat, or whatever". Not all of us are the same. Whaever you can, or can't do, is your choice. I only eat PHD/fasting. Thanks to dr. Ken Berry. But like i said: nobody is the same.
