Sorry guys, I feel like the last half was a little wonky trying to understand each other lol. But hey, if anyone can explain this under eating thing to me, that would be great 😅 ❤

Try add sprints into a work out , do short sprints then get you breath back and go again , it is great for burning fat
and you only have to do it for 15/20 mins so its a quick workout and you get great results. Also i would of said what lisalyons5381 said but she said it already 👍👍
Under eating makes your basal metabolic rate go down, so you're going to lose less weight while fasting if you under ate during a month before doing your fast.
Because your body will be habituated on running with low calories/nutrients/energy.
😊😊😊
He needs to watch the recent YT from Kelly Hogan interviewing carnivores who were eating too little, bumped up their intake and started losing again.
Also, I was doing intense exercise 5 days a week, fasting until noon and holding onto fat (and gaining). It turns out my adrenals were shot. I was doing too much. Jeff doesn’t seem to have a category for that.
Now, I’m carnivore, walk 1.5 to 3 miles every morning and losing. It doesn’t have to be intense.
Were they tracking when they were eating less?
@@CourtneyLuna I also saw the video. Yes, they were tracking. It's on Kelly Hogan's channel.
@@elleneebarrett5683 thanks, I need to go watch it
@@CourtneyLuna You're welcome.
I increased my intake and started to put on weight. So I don’t buy the theory to eat more
I also agree with your husband about the intensity with working out and eating less dense foods.
Also, people need to understand that we’re constantly metabolically adapting… I don’t know how many times I mentioned this but it way too often. Sometimes you have to reverse 🔄 diet
💯
I find it really unfair how you cut him off with "but you can isolate yourself" when he talks about people bringing food into the office. As someone working in an office, where there are Sweets "for everyone" always on display and everyone bringing cookies and cake, I can tell you it is hard as well. For me it is way harder to resist in the office than at home.
We were talking about while fasting. It’s hard to be at home cooking meals for everyone else while fasting as opposed to being in an office, not having to cook for others
You 2 look fantastic no matter what the camera angle. Always nice to see your couple videos. Do whatever works. Doesn't matter what we think. Have a great week!
Thank you so much ☺️
Dr. Sean O'Mara also talks about high intensity workout benefits.
I agree with Jeff. We need more weights.
My cheeks do get rosy. I have much improved blood flow and iron levels as I’m fully carnivore. ☺️
Dr. Lisa has a link where you can use a website that helps you see what would be your ideal calories you need. Hope that helps.
Your metabolism slows down the fewer calories you eat. Undereating makes you lose muscle instead of fat.
Thank you Jeff for saying it. If you have 100 pounds to loose and cutting out shit food it's easier. Not easy but easier. When it's 10 and been on a great plan of action it is a hell of a lot harder and tracking the small things helps.
I completely understand your question. I know that I under eat. I track my macros daily. What I have found, is that it is too hard, (because I have been in such a deficit for so long), for me to hit my macro goal . What I have noticed, is if I go above a certain macro then I gain even though I am already in a calorie deficit. For example, I am supposed to eat 1200 cal a day. I am doing really good to get 800 cal. That is with my macros of protein at roughly 80 g my carbs at 5 g and my fat at 30 g. With this macro of eating, but yet I still do gain if I go over this amount. I have tried slowly reverse dieting. It ends up being self defeating because I see the scale numbers and freak out when the begin to rise . I would Love to understand this as well.
Something that helped me was sticking to the same 2 meals a day. When I first started I was really inspired by Steak and Butter gal, boy she can eat and she's tiny. Goals.. On her Instagram I see her eating like 14 eggs, flanken short ribs, and chicken wings in one day. She doesn't workout, just walks her dogs. So I decided to eat 6 eggs with tallow, cheese, and 4 slices of bacon for breakfast. When I run out of bacon I just eat eggs until my next grocery haul. For dinner I have 6 ounces of whatever meat I feel like cooking. Lost 15lbs, felt stuffed all the time, and my cravings, anxiety and period pain left. I started to get dizzy, have headaches and felt sleepy. Everyone said to eat more, add more fat. I physically cannot eat as much as Steak and Butter gal but I tracked, checked measurements, and weighed myself weekly for about a month to see how much I could eat without gaining. I kept it simple by eatjng the same way I described above but added more raw cheese, tallow and butter. Its difficult for me to eat much more meat than I was, I get too full and feel gross. But I can eat some cheese lol. At first I did gain a little weight back, so the next week I just pulled back on the fat and I didnt gain. Ate the same thing for a couple weeks and started to feel so good I wanted to walk, I wanted to go out, even started pilates. Now im losing weight and not really needing to track because I know how big my HP bar is, and what consumables I need to fill it.
I like my intermittent fasting, and do not eat after 6 PM. In the winter it is even shorter because I only eat while the sun is shinning. I know this a very individual journey and we all have to do our own N of 1 experiments to find our own path.
Not eating after 6 has been a game changer for me
I was lucky did not have to track and truly lost back to my 20s 30s
But for sure we all need to find out own path and if I was having issues I would for sure track
I also weighed myself 2x a day when losing over 100 lbs and found it fascinating how I would go up sometimes :) and not let it bug me and focused on the end goal of a year in my mind
Kinda like a hard hike you might have some insane obstacles along the way its not that it just gets easier and easier toward the end
Yeah the under eating was something I found I would stall or gain
Would love to do a chat with you and or both of you :)
Good stuff
How did you know you were under eating? Assuming? Or tracking? And yes would love to chat more!
@@CourtneyLuna
Was early on in that first 6 months when I was still losing the most
I would think ‘I KNOW” I can just go hungry not listen to being full thinking I have to lose more weight :) hahahahaha
so I ignored that hunger signal I was going with and I truly knew it was less than the normal variation I had
And those next few days my scale would go up often or NOT go down
But I was OK with weighing myself never let it get to me truly was just curious how much it fluctuated
Once I figured that out I would test it sometimes to try to prove my testing and under eat on purpose for say 3 days and watch the scale and sure enough would not be as much ?
Now some days I was truly insane hungry and ate like 4 lbs of meat a day and I thought OK I have to be gaining weight today and over the next few days I would lose a lot more than usual
Made no sense to me but I was following my satiety I felt so I was NOT over eating like forcing was just truly insane hungry some days
I do think tracking and keeping a journal would have been huge to share better details of time frames for things but I also am not the journaling type person
So yeah I do think the journaling tracking can be a help for some people just like NOT looking at the scale is best for some folks :)
First time viewer. 😅😅Loved the back n forth. . You remind me of some peeps back in the Midwest. You both are very funny.
Welcome!! And thank you for watching
Check out Stargazer cast Iron pans. They are made like the vintage cast iron. My favorite pans are my vintage Griswalds.
I am in no way an authority on weightloss. But I wonder if the weight loss comes when you begin to eat more because the body recognizes it's not in a famine and more food is coming so storing fat is not necessary. Loved your video!!! 💕-Evette
That's precisely what it is.
Do what works for you as long as you get the results you want. Resistance workout, more weight, less reps. Feel the burn, women will not build too much muscle.
I just watched a video on zero carb life where this woman who had plateau after plateau did what she called Metabolic confusion
To mix it up so the body doesn’t get used to one way and then the metabolism sets at that point
So she would do a couple of days of low fat, a couple days of Omad, then a couple of days high fat through her year.
She may have done a water fast for a day or so ever so often.
I still think heavy weights like up the weight on the upper body dumbbell exercises.
I just broke a plateau by cutting my cheese down and going to 2 meals a day between 11:30 - 5
When I hit there next one I am just gonna do chicken breasts and it’s a bit of butter for 2 days. Or just 1 ribeye a day with a Pat of butter for a couple of days. Not sure which one I am gonna do first.
You are great. And doing great.
I’m having the same thoughts!! 💯 think mixing it up like this is the way to go
I don’t believe in working out harder and more. I believe in fasting and sleeping more to loose weight and destressing
The reason one will stop losing weight when under eating is because your body gets used to the calorie level and that becomes your new normal.
Yes, I think tricking the body is key.
Exactly this. Maintaining the same level of calorie deficit isn’t going to work to finish losing the desired weight. Our bodies are far too smart and adaptable. This is why I’ve added a low to medium amount of carbs from fruit in my diet as well as weekly cheat meals. I’ve also reverse dieted and saw awesome body recomposition.
But at what point does under eating make someone lose weight, such as starving to death. This is what my brain can’t understand lol
@@CourtneyLuna a small deficit with occasional refeeds is the formula you want.
@@CourtneyLuna in the beginning undereating does make you lose weight because you are eating fewer calories. It's like Rachel from 2 KRazy Ketos, she ate 500 calories for a year and lost 100 lbs, but the second year she stopped losing and then started gaining on just 500 cals
I have to track! Even with carnivore. My mind is so skewed on portion sizes and my hunger cues that until I can get a handle on that tracking is what I need to do.
Courtney I get you, I need to see why I still eat emotionally
Once you make it past the initial 24 hrs of a fast and your body settles in.. you can go days .. you stop feeling hungry once you’re body realizes what’s going on.
I've been carnivore since Feb. Keto for years. I'm 5'1", trust me, short girls can't eat like most women. We think we can eat a normal girl meal but it's easy for short girls to over eat. I never gained weight, i feel amazing but i didn't lose anything. I track now because now im focusing on weight and i can eat like a grown man , it adds up fast! You know your body better than anyone else.
Say it louder 🔊
Yes I'm 5'0 and I eat what a 5'3 and above girl eats and oof, it all goes down to my butt, thighs and arms 🤢 mostly arms and I hate it. So I have to eat less and it sucks
Yep… I have to eat less the. The tall ladies… I will say walking is a great way to use some extra energy without getting hungry ❤
Yes! I can easily way over eat!
It’s too easy to overeat in carnivore so I stopped eating that way. I’m 5’10” and can eat 1,800 calories and lose a pound a week, that’s without exercise. 1,800 calories is too easy to consume when you consume things like butter.
Women don’t need to do a seven day fast. We have too many hormones to maintain and fat is very much needed.
Yes, when doing OMAD.. my metabolism slowed way down.. I could gain eating 1000 cals at a meal. I eat 2 meals a day, but listen to my body.. I just intuitively eat.. working well. If I'm not hungry I don't eat much... if I'm hungry . I eat more lol
I appreciate you so much, Courtney. You being open and sharing your struggles really helps a lot of us to feel more normal. As a former binge eater, I too struggle with eating after the kitchen is closed and I TOO have to track my food in order to lose fat. You and Jennifer (delightedtomeatyou) are the two carnivores I can relate to the most. I appreciate you!! 🫶
Yes! Me and Jen are definitely in the same boat lately. I think her meal prepping has been going well for her weight loss though! I should have her on to talk about all this too
@@CourtneyLuna yes!! Great idea!
I’m 1.5 speed too 👏🏾
Great minds 😊
Listen, I’m not one of those lucky people that’s not trapped so I do. I also take one mental day off of tracking a week 👍🏾
That’s actually a great idea!
Great podcast!! One thing in my humble experience and opinion… We have no idea how many calories are in a ribeye from the butcher so how do we know that the Bison from Costco has the proper nutrition facts? It makes tracking nearly impossible and leads to people thinking they are undereating and in actuality are eating above maintenance….I do track however I do realize it’s legit impossible to be 💯 correct on the numbers… I’ve never had a ti
E when I didn’t lose weight because of undereating… again just my opinion. Love you both!!!❤
Good point!!
I watch at 2x speed 😂 my husband hates it. Also i am interested in the 7 day fast. I jave fallen off for the last couple months and i just need a reset
I'm new at this and I am so confused 🥴 How do you find out how much you are supposed to eat and the calorie limit? I have heard eat till you get full, and also calories matter and not to count calo. However, the only way to not overeat is to count, and my "fat" adds numbers to my calories. And depending on what I choose to eat on a particular day, I may still be hungry once I reach a certain number-- or don't want anything else, and haven't reach enough 🤔 please advise because I don't want to fail.
You can try just eating according to your hunger cues! If you find you’re not hitting your goals, you can plug your info into a TDEE calculator and get your macros. Another way for macros is whatever your goal weight is, say 130, eat 130 grams of fat and 130 grams of protein a day. And adjust as needed! That worked for me for 55 lbs thru I upped the protein to 140 and lowered the fat to 115 and had success with breaking a stall
That was fun Courtney ❤. I know I've asked you this before but once again what was Jeff doing in My husband's closet (grey sweats) 😂😂😂😂
😂
I see you’ll be in Austin soon.. Looking forward to seeing you there (I read you’re doing a cooking demo). Very cool. I apologize beforehand if I come off as star struck and start crying like a teenage girl
Haha look forward to meeting you!!
Yieee kilig while watching 😍😘 you were like young love birds courting stage n knowing each other 😍😍😍
When my hormones fluctuate I get hungrier like the week before my period so I allow myself a little more that week. Women are different.
I think Jeff had it 100% correct and then it made more sense to Courtney at the end. Each person is an individual so each individual's body biometrics will come into play. What they are actually eating, tracked with measurements is also important. There have been so many times i have assumed i have eaten less. Or eyeballed a 1/4c of something. Even measuring cups are not exact because they can slightly differ depending on the type of vessel you are using to measure. So you think its 1/4 cup and it can be a smidge more...well too many smidges will get you weight gain. 😉 then movement is key. Courtney made a good point when she said maybe by someone eating more, it gives them more energy to do more so they end up losing. I think thats possible. Are they 100% carnivore? Or are they keto? Or ketovore? Are they making too many keto snacks "desserts". So many factors for a blanket answer. I think there will be stalls. But that may just mean time to change it up. Let go of dairy or heavy cream in the coffee or the butter. So many factors to figure what needs to be done for that person. 😊 I enjoyed the back and forth convo.
There is actually a large amount of potassium in meat so it’s not that what’s causing the leg cramps. It’s most likely lack of magnesium
Trial and error I guess. If you're not losing weight try cutting calories (?ie sardines fast) and do that for 1-2 weeks. If you are still not losing weight than consume more calories until you are full. Modern your energy levels as well.
16:44. I do agree here.. don’t just lift weights- it needs to be intense- we call it training.
Cycling is great too.. but not a lap or two around the neighborhood at 6mph..: needs to be intense.- 20-30-40 miles at speeds where you HR is at 75-80% of max HR.
Walking is great too.. but needs to be intense.. don’t stroll around the block. You gotta walk at a fast past- for at least an hour.. 3 mi in 45 min for example.
Point being- Whatever exercise you choose- it needs to be intense. It needs to mimic the type of hard work that humans don’t do anymore.
Good video :)
Thank you for this 🙏
Needed to add.. mix things up… do short intense workouts.. like for instance… a workout where you do all out sprints- like a set of 10
Sprints - And then mix in workouts with no sprints- but long walks of an hour or two.
Or any type of High Intensity workouts- short but intense- and mix in the long moderate type exercises- like long , mod paced bike rides of 1.5 to 3 hrs for example… mix all these type Workouts.:: Going full steam all the time will just burn you out and could end up, causing some damages to the bones and joints too.. Rest days are definitely important too.
And I imagine you know that.. But I just wanted to bring that up.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to meeting you after your cooking demonstration in Austin. :)
I just made your ground chicken meatballs and then rolled them in Parmesan like you suggested. Delicious!
I’m not sure if that was me, but it sounds like a delicious idea! 😆
@@CourtneyLuna omg, you're right. I'm so embarrassed. Jenny Mitich did that...forgive me!!
Girl- I feel ya! I’ve been carnivore (mostly) some keto- for a year. Lost 24 pounds right away. I’ve been stalled since. Everyone says “Eat until you’re comfortably stuffed”, “ The weight just falls off”. Why am I the unlucky one?
I’m unlucky too, girl. I lose 5-6lbs in the first week or two and then stall forever. I’ve done carnivore 4-5 different times and the same thing happens every time.
Same for me. It’s frustrating
I feel a ton better. I can see an immediate change when I try to eat carbs. So I’m not giving up.
This was a great video 😂😂😂
lol the end was a little bit of a clusterf*** but hopefully there was still some takeaways 🤣
@CourtneyLuna it think there was good points on both sides. And highlights the confusion that a lot of us experience!
Love the banter 😂 me and my husband are the same way lol
I am 100% an emotional eater!! I tracked my food for 1.5yr and then decided to intuitively eat and wish now i had not done that. 😢 I am struggling now to track my food and have gained back 20 of the 70 I lost......IT'S SO HARD!!
I’m on day 6 no tracking and I may need to track again sooner than later lol
I love tracking. 😅
Your husband is right 😢 I had to be on a calorie deficit for one month to bring down those stubborn 10 lbs after one year baby postpartum. Also HIIT workouts so.... Yeah 😅 he isnt lying Lol
Now I want to lose an extra 5lbs and dont want to cut but I think maybe OMAD would be it and the way to go. We have a tough job ladies
I think Omads will be helpful for me too
@@CourtneyLunaYeah it will work but I am incorporating weight lifting, just remember that muscle weighs more than fat so don't be discouraged if the scale goes up. Moving is key though!! Good luck mama 🤞 Remember don't stress!
I fasted when I first went keto. I easily fasted for 3 days , which was my goal. But down 60 and have 15-20 to go they won't move and fasting is just not something I am comfortable with any more. Over a year ketovore now i have been successful with a 24-36 hour but felt the hunger, something I didn't have any issues when 80 pounds over weight.
What is an ideal body fat percentage?
20 or less
I need help please I started carnivore on April 9th, 2024 of this year… so far a little over a month in ♥️ but day 3 of carnivore my period came and I have not stopped bleeding since then. Currently feel weak and bleeding for at least 30 days now. Anyone have any tips in what I can do to control my period? 😢 please I’m so close to giving up and I don’t want to 😢
I’m so sorry. I haven’t heard of this happening. Normally I hear that it tremendously helps cycles 🙏 hopefully someone else can chime in
I was under eating and not losing weight and sometimes gaining weight. It was only when I started eating more when I saw the weight melt off. I think my body felt like I was in a famine and it was holding on to the weight but idk I’m not Bart Kay lol
Curious if you were tracking when under eating? How did you know?
@@CourtneyLunaI started tracking after gaining 30lbs. Lost 120 initially didn’t track. Started gaining so then I tracked. My TDEE (because I workout 4 days per week) is 2200 cal. I was getting 1200-1400 and gaining. I’m trying to eat more and I’m up and down the same 5lbs so now not sure where to go. Backed down to 1800 calories. Blood sugars shoot up with higher protein. Doesn’t make sense to me. I just need to lose at least 15lbs if the 30 I gained.
I watch everything in 2x 🤣 also side note, our tig ol biddies have to weigh at least 10 lbs so always take that into account with your goal weight bc you most likely are already there! Building more muscle will help most to burn those stubborn fat parts.
Haha so true
1.5 speed here too! 😂
Same mostly 2x 😂
This is how it makes a little sense in my mind. The correlation I’m noticing with the under eating and stalling/gaining is that when people have a lot of fat to lose, it comes off easily with a calorie deficit. Once you’ve lost majority of your fat and you have a small amount left to lose your body goes into ‘protect’ mode and stalls you. If you chronically under eat and continue through the stall the same way your body will actually start creating inflammation/holding water again because it’s afraid resources aren’t available. And that’s where your weight gain is coming from. Bodies can only handle this to a certain extent. So where anorexia happens is once you cut your calories so much that your body enters survival mode and starts eating muscle etc, it’s already past the protection mode and it just doesn’t have enough to continue to function.
I think specific numbers/calorie intake will be different for everyone though because everyone’s BMR is different.
Just a hypothesis…
Ok that made a little more sense to me lol. Thank you 🙏
Red- we have BLOOD FLOW
Oh my gosh I feel like I’m watching my husband and I! Lol I’m cooking 87 meals a day! 💯 me! 😂 I also eat emotionally!
Glad I’m not alone 😂
i just found your channel and im wondering what your starting weight was and what you're weighing now. Or how much weight do you have to lose now, if you're more comfortable answering this question. The last 10 lbs is always the hardest.
5’4, almost 40, started at 192 now I’m 137-140 ish spending on the day :)
@@CourtneyLuna sounds like me only im still new to carnivore.
I'm 5'5", almost 50 years old, started the carnivore diet feb 23, 2024 at 193 lbs,
today, 82 days later, I am 179.5 and my plan is to be around 140 by Christmas🤞🏻 Maybe after Christmas i can work toward the 130's.
What weight are you trying to get to?
I just had a thought...We store unused glucose as fat but we don't store eaten unused fat as fat so maybe that's the difference. Did that make any sense lol?
🤔 idk let me read this again haha
Doing this to get healthy, but I don't want my husband to lose too much weight. What can I do for his meals?
Honestly I’ve seen a lot of success stories of severely under weight people gaining weight by eating this way. I think as long as he’s eating enough and getting what he needs, the body will settle at a good weight
I agree what he says about the weight and weights.
Maybe try not to be around food so much. Send kids to summer camp lol
Like I’ve said before if only one parent is doing all the homeschooling and other parent is in a traditionally scheduled job it’s incredibly stressful and a lot of pressure on that one parent. And burnout after 2 years is high.
Plus when kids are there one is always in the kitchen prepping and cleaning which is exhausting and boring.
Can *I* go to summer camp? Do they have adult fat camps carnivore style? Rehab but for food? Maybe I’m onto something… 😂
@@CourtneyLuna lol me too !
All the places I’ve seen are heavy into oxalates and well some meat but … mostly salads.
I did see one place in Delray is more workout and beach stuff and you stay in a hotel and order off their menu or can get own stuff and they have plenty of carnivore options! Just scrape off the veggies 😂
I would love to go for2-4 weeks
Courtney… closest thing to summer camp for adults would be to go on a vacation where you work on a real ranch for a few weeks- doing the type of physical labor that humans did constantly many many decades ago. People find these type vacations exhilarating. I grew up on a small working form, I worked my ass off during my early years prior to college age
Funny that you had a comment or say carnivore was too expensive. I really think being vegan is much more expensive.
I likev16/8, 2MAD 9 to 5.. try it
And I DONT BELIEVE IN THE UNDER-EATING AND GAINING WEIGHT
Again agree with the hubs
It makes zero sense to me too lol
❤❤
Undereating causes me weight gain . I'm 5 foot and if I eat less then 2200 a day I gain weight . When my average calories per day are between 2200/2500 my scale goes down . When I fast and do omad for a week cutting my calories to 1600/18 00 I always gain weight. ....you may just need more food not less
That’s interesting! Are you super active? Just curious because I would gain wait at those calories
Hmmmm....most people would gain. You must be very active or.... maybe a smoker?
I want you to buy the most colorful and wild Le Creuset available! Love y'all together. First time watching the podcast. Amazing job Courtney!
Haha thank you! Sorry your first time experiencing this was a wonky one 😂
@@CourtneyLuna Not wonky at all. Y'all are the cutest.
8 months postpartum with my third, struggling to lose the last 20 lbs… never clicked faster 😂❤
Apparently the magic answer is eat less and move more, but I’m not buying it 😅
Lol I know I just finished the video haha I’m on your side, so confused 😂
Congratulations Sarah. ❤
Look up health benefits of walking
❤❤❤
🤗
OK commented but had to say this in its own :) hahahahahahah I love the end part OH this is my wife and I so much :) ahhahahahahahaha
LOVE IT LOVE IT
Glad it’s not just us hahaha
Yes, that's called the healthy user bias factor
For women the metabolism slows down at around 1000 if eating that for too many days is my opinion and theory
Because the women’s body is made to preserve fat for babies from primal times
I was in eating disorder group and there were anorexics in there and they would workout all the time and eat under 900 calories.
Prob the line is around 1300 calories is my guess.
"dust the chub"~bwahahaha! And the award for best unintentional silly EVER goes to Courtney~ good grief, I laughed so loud it woke up my sick, sleeping hubs! Poor guy~even told him I would keep the noise down, just gonna hang out watch some youtube w/headphones on- yeah, right.
Good conversation you guys, though Jeff seems a bit....idk, offish? Maybe it's the gray sweatpants, or the way he's crossing his ankles? Hard to tell🤣
(Sorry Jeff, couldn't resist.)
*Btw, I think it would be hard to fully be your natural self on camera. I mean, you're trying to be casual & conversational, keep it moving~ but not come off like a lunatic or argumentative~ that might challenge me I think. "Natural" w/your spouse especially, considering many of us are the most free/authentic w/husband or wife. They're used to us & tend to accept our quirks & know our speech patterns etc., so we dump it all on them. Sometimes my husband will just stare at me, silent~ like he knows in that moment it's better to just appear thoughtful, as if he's mulling it over. He's wrong of course, it's not better at all. I need a response every time...a grunt, something~ acknowledge my words dammit! Sheesh, maybe it's that risk vs. reward thing. He's not much of a gambler though, so there's that. Thank God he loves me, despite my mouth.Have a good night over there~ Sammy in AZ
It was definitely an off video for us lol. I don’t think we were in the right mindset/energy before we went into it. Unfortunately we had to take the recording window we had open 😝
@@CourtneyLuna Whatever~ you guys were awesome! You always are, my goodness. Besides, it's fun to see real life- we're not robots or actors.
*Hopefully you caught that most of that was lighthearted, other than last part w/ me telling on myself & my big mouth~ wasn't comparing to anything negative on you sweet girl
@@RV-there-Yet no didn’t take the wrong way at all!
You are a beautiful couple and very funny. ❤
😊 thank you so much

Weight loss is confusing when you use calories because it's a terrible metric. I have found success eating lunch and dinner only I eat .5lb of beef at lunch then 1lb of beef and 3 scrambled eggs at dinner. Im 5ft9 148lb. Want to be 140lb.
Calorically speaking it works because its about 1500ish lbs
DANG. I am a 5’9” woman and I cannot fathom being 148lbs. I would look emaciated
I DONT KNOW WHAT IM DOING!😂
I don't get the whole over and under eating myself. It was definitely different on keto than carnivore for me. I would lose on 1200 cal doing keto. Carnivore I need to eat more calories to lose. 🤔
Tell Jeff the arms crossed is fine. That's how real men sit 😃
And I’m more confused than ever after this chat lol. I want to know if someone says they were under eating, were they tracking that or just assuming?
@@CourtneyLuna I was tracking
😀
❤❤❤
He’s right… it’s legit impossible to not lose weight if you are undereating ❤Look at how much weight people lose through fasting…. Rolling fasts lose weight like ceazy
Universal threats keep ppl out of my kitchen once mama closes it!!! 😂
I need someone to yell threats at me every night! Lol
You teo sre hilarious.. I don't agree with Jeff that if you eat less you will lose weight. Hormones and metabolic rate. I have been in a stall for over 2 years after losing 75 lbs. I have been eating keto or carnivore fo 5 years. I lift weight 3 to 4 times a week and work with a personal trainer. I am a 60 year old woman and I finally gave up on losing weight nd I am currently concentrating on building muscle
...just about everything I watch is, at LEAST, listened to at 1.5 or faster or else I think in between the words... 😐
💯 and this one could prob be watched at 2x lol
Think about insulin in its roll in signaling. Snacking results in constant insulin, the post-meal insulin. I like to make little rules for eating instead of counting macros, and one of those is not snacking. If I am going to eat pork rind cereal, I do it with a meal. I have to go a minimum of 3 hours between meals to let that insulin go back down. That's when stops telling your body to store fat.
What do you drink when you fast? Have you ever fat fasted?
Hidden carbs! coffee for example
I'm 62 & have hit a plateau at 148. I just accept that this is where my body wants to be at. He had some good thoughts & comments when he wasn't acting like a jack___, but I won't be watching anymore if he's going to be a regular on your channel. You seemed uncomfortable & much more relaxed when he's not there. Just sayin...
Don’t appreciate you calling my husband names, it’s not necessary.
You're quite the peach 😊
And why is the video flipped??? The lettering on your shirts are backwards.. are you shooting this in a mirror? You can fix this in editing

His reply wasnt very helpful. I think his overall message is that really fat people can just not eat and lose weight. People with 20 pounds or less to lose may have multiple reasons why they are not losing weight to include being in starvation mode.
Is not about calories!!!! It about energy amount at a meal!
You should probably get your information from someone other than your husband. He doesn't know what he's talking about. "Eat less, move more" is total BS.
Would love to hear your info then! Feel free to share your thoughts on what’s not bs
@@CourtneyLuna WOW! If you two don't know that "eat less, move more" and "calories in, calories out" have been debunked by the people in this low carb community, then I should probably unsubscribe. Good luck to you!
@MeatTPhan so no explanation then? Got it.....🙄
