There are an infinite number of ways you can lose weight, some of them not healthy but actually a lot of different methods can be healthy. The major factor in how successful you will be at losing weight on whatever protocol you choose is IF YOU CAN STICK TO IT!! I have always been someone that went ALL IN to whatever diet I was doing, and I lost weight...but I could never stick with it long term and I gained it back. Even on carnivore I struggled when life came knocking and stressful situations arose. It wasn't until I shifted my mind completely and just started focusing on One Non-Negotiable thing did things start working for me long term. I get comments every day of "I just can't stick to it" or "I was doing so great but I fell off the wagon" or "How can I stop being tempted?" This video addresses all of that into one concept that has made all the difference for me. I hope it is helpful for you.

*I lost 120 pounds in 2018 on a Carnivore Diet, I maintained that in 2019. In 2020 I struggled with some weight gain and then lost it again in 2021. For the last few years I have been maintaining a healthy weight. In December 2022 I had skin removal surgery (tummy tuck). This channel just documents all of that journey and how our family lives normal lives and eats a meat based diet.

Great general comment. I am @MollyCooper in Locals, and very much agree, and work on keeping in touch this way.
How is your Houston trip going so far? Hope you have a fab little meat up on Thu.
Hey from Alaska.. 700 lb and basically bedridden here. I’ve been on carnivore for 15 days and the results have already been amazing.. I’m in it for the long-haul ☺
❤
Hi Bill! So excited to for you and to follow your journey! Keep it up buddy! One day at a time.
You’ve got this, Bill!
🎉🎉🎉🎉 great job starting!! So exciting! Everyday it gets easier and the better you feel the more you realize you’ll never want to go back!
Hi Bill ❤ keep going…
Down 100 lbs in 5 months... granted I was huge (370) so the weight comes off quicker. I incorporated carnivore, OMAD, and 24/48/72 hour fasts and outside 2 occasions (on vacation with family) have remained 100% committed. Zero cheating and very little snacking (very rare but it has happened). Just do you, and stay committed!
Great results, keep going
Just be careful of gallbladder issues if you still have yours!
Congrats though! Good for you! 🎉
Congratulations on your 100 lbs down. I am 56 and weigh 365lbs. I did carnivore last April and continued thru July I lost 30 lbs I fell off the wagon and have really struggled with getting back to it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Oh I started it cold turkey have never done keto or Paleo. I am border line diabetic, with neuropathy, poor circulation in legs, also take meds for all also high blood pressure and high cholesterol according to my Dr. ❤
Congratulations! How can you stick with OMAD. I would like to extend my intermediate fasting to a 24 hour fasting. I always feel hungry when it is supper time. I do in fact eat 2 large meals like 3 burger patties (cooked in their own fat), with two over easy eggs. Sometimes I include two strips of bacon or cold meats. The thing is I have reached a plateau in my weight loss and I still need to lose 100 pounds more.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Once again, Congratulations for your weight loss!
@@lisaeason6874 I had so many bowel problems on carnivore. I felt good, lost weight but either uncontrollable diarrhea or constipation that put me In the hospital. I went back to Keto, keep my calories at 1500 a day and added vegetables back. I'm doing OMAD, losing 2.5 pounds a week and feel great. No more bowel issues and feel I'm feeding my body better as an omnivore. I eat 8 oz of meat a day, the rest of the calories are vegetables and fat.
Food addicts know how to make excuses better than most other people! 😊 you are amazing.
Eating the corpses of sentient beings who are tortured , abused and who dont want to die prematurely in gas chambers is anazing ?
Yes food adiction is s problem including for those in the carnivore community .
If in doubt see what happens if you go ask them to eat a 🍇.
Even the Innuit would eat 🍇.
Thank you, Laura! Enjoy your updates and agree that mindset is so important. Almost 8 months in, starting at 330 and hit 90 lbs lost this AM!
Amazing!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Woo hoo! 🎉 👏👏👏👏👏
Wow! You are killing this! Good for you! Staying the course really pays off and I'm so happy for you.
I love the common sense pep talk you just gave us! Thanks Laura!
Love this concept. I’m going to implement it and it’s a similar concept. Carnivore is non-negotiable. It’s hard as a truck driver but I’ve been finding it easier to do by making a bunch of burger at home and reheating them and eating sausages and chicken. My condiments have been basically whittled down to salt, butter and hot sauce. I’m getting there. Your videos and posts help keep me motivated 😊
Mcdonald's burger patties are 100% beef and are relatively cheap. Easy way to stay carnivore while on the road.
@@brojoe4919 When I asked about just getting the burgers, they are more expensive than the sandwiches. So I just get 2 double cheeseburgers and give the buns to the birds!!. The same thing happens with sausage patties in the morning! It's more than $2 per patty. So just get the sausage patty sandwich, with the English muffin, 2 of them. Then I give the English muffins away to street beggars or folks asking for money at red lights. One guy used to call me the apple pie lady when McD's was giving away free apple pies if you filled out the survey number. I would get the free apple pie and give it to the poor guy at the red light on the way to work!!
Laura, you are so pretty. I hope you don’t mind me saying that. You give us such helpful information & that is why I keep coming back to this channel. Yes, I slip up but I keep coming back bcos I cannot give up!
I quit sugar (including sugar free treats) 7 years ago. I eat very healthily most of the time but the 'no sugar' is the one rule that I stick to no matter what. I actually find it very easy now xx
NEW SUBSCRIBER TO YOU BECAUSE…….You absolutely resonated with ideas that have been going through my mind. I was doing so well for several years and had lost about 80 pounds. After the death of one of my best friends I went way off the rails for about a year and gained about 40 pounds back. When I tried to watch videos to get back on track I just got caught up in some trends that weren’t right for me. I’m just finding my way back into what works for me and you really really helped clarify my own feelings and truths that I had forgotten. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I’M FEELING LIKE I CAN COMMIT TO THIS WITH YOUR APPROACH!
She’s the best! My favorite low carb channel.
I work at a meat plant and the owner respects me enough to throw me burger and or steaks for the bi weekly lunch instead of excluding me from the subway and pizza party they have🎉😊❤
Most people will fall off because of all the junk food that's out there tempting them 24/7. I was a big donut, cake, pastry eater. In feb 2021 i went straight to carnivore. What a killer the sugar cravings were. When i had a craving, i would eat butter and chase it with some salt. At 6' and 240, i dropped to 190 in a couple of months. Today, at 71, i'm 188 after 30 months and i still don't eat any pastry. I drink coffee with monk and heavy cream, and recently added in an avocado for potassium. I weight train and look pretty good for my age. It's a tough road to stick to it sometimes. If you fall, so what? Just get back on it the next day. If i can do it, so can you. Great job on your part, Laura!
Been carnivore since Jan. 6, 2023. I was strict first 5 months, over the summer I fell off a little... consuming Häagen-Dazs ice cream and fruits. I seem to be okay eating pickles... but inflammation started flaring up again throughout my body. So this past week I have been hard core carnovore again! My face is clearing up!! I have lost 66lbs since I started on January. 👐👐
who else fast forwards to after the LMNT commercial?.....soooo many channels have this now, i fast forward all of them to get to the content....all that being said, i like this channel. 🙂
I do but only because LMNT does not work for me. I'm salt sensitive (or potassium deficient) so too much sodium and not enough potassium or magnesium.
It’s all about money
Thank God! I was on the verge of giving up. I started Carnivore, and gained five pounds the first week. I’m uncovering psychologically what I think was going on, but I’m still climbing up from the bottom. Not totally hopeful yet, but will try the “one non-negotiable” approach. I think I was feeling overwhelmed and deprived…triggered. Ate way to much of the good stuff. You all have helped me to keep going for one more day.
This did resonate with me and my constant struggling to stay on track. Today, I need to go to CVS, which has always been a "minefield" for me. Lots of candy and junkfood everywhere! My non-negotiable for today is to get in there, buy only what's on my list, and GET OUT. NO JUNK FOOD TODAY!
Good luck 🙏
Shop only the outer perimeter of the store. Stay away from the center isles when you shop. That is where the processed foods and candy are located. Another way to avoid the sugar and junk foods is to shop online and pick up what you shopped for. Never go shopping when you are hungry.
Yes! In n out with no junk! U win!

Grocery pickup and delivery has saved me from myself more than a few times. I've been eating keto, then ketovore for a long time, so I don't have physical cravings, really. What I do have is mental memory cravings or habitual memory cravings. Even after 15+ years, I occasionally find myself adding snacks into my online cart. Before I check out, I do a ruthless purge. Saves my health and sanity and saves me financially, too. It's not just stuff I don't want to eat. It's also that I had a tendency to overbuy and then throw away food AKA money! The cart purge allows me to catch and stop that.
Excellent video🎉🎉. My # 1 non negotiable…Staying carnivore👏 I have been carnivore for over 5 years, 3 years before that I was ketovore. Have lost 125 pounds & have maintained this for about 7 years. I have struggled my entire life with weight (73 years old) and have lost 100 + pounds 3 other times, but carnivore is truly my salvation. I did add another non negotiable and that is…no artificial sweeteners as they triggered me to over eat keto treats. I too have times I over do cheese and at times eat more meat than needed, but…I always stay carnivore. Thank you for sharing your journey. Stay safe & well❣️
For me, it’s all about the inability to void that one thing. That one thing for me is alcohol on the weekends. If I could only get rid of that vice.
Truly one of the best reminders to keep from being down on yourself: I may have had cheese/salami/whatever, but at least I stayed carnivore. Very worthwhile reminder.
I absolutely love the way you share, and explain things! I’m so grateful for all that you do for this community! ❤️
"I would like to NOT eat cheese at 2 o'clock in the afternoon for no reason." That made me laugh out loud because ... I know! 😁
Yes, as an adhd person I am also an “all or nothing” type person, so that was a learning curve to get through, but once done, it’s been much easier to keep going, still feel good about myself and it is a process! Just keep going!😍.
Great vid! I just experienced the peanut butter problem but I’m only two weeks on ketovore (mostly carnivore) after 6 years of keto…everyday gets easier since I’m getting deeper into ketosis than I ever did… you are a wonderful, reliable resource… thank you!
The way I started is that on January 20 of this year, I got a phone call from my doctor. She said I now had diabetes. I started my new lifestyle the second I hung up the phone. Six months later I was 75 pounds lighter and diabetes free. I also has lots of other conditions improved on including GERD, internal inflammation, skin rashes, blood pressure etc. I started with keto and slowly advanced to mostly carnivore. Absolutely no sugar or starch from the very beginning.
Your story is my story!
A coronary artery calcium scan showed significant calcification of my coronary arteries and I was pre diabetic. That was 6 1/2 years ago at age 67. I went keto for until about 6 months ago and finally lost the last couple of pounds and saw significant body decomposition. Keto was a great first step but I needed to go totally plant free.
This is how I do it. I shifted my concept of what 'falling off the wagon' or 'cheating' was from anything goes to dirty carniovre foods like processed meats and cheeses. Now, when I 'cheat', it is still zero carb carnivore.
*Your video is a valuable resource for those seeking guidance and motivation on their own weight loss paths. Thank you for inspiring us all with your incredible story!*
So proud of you LS!!! I did the same thing but with two non-negotiables … 1. Carnivore 2. Exercise - This has been my mindset for over 9 months straight since I started my Journey. Down 85 lbs and #stayhard #neverfinished
Exercise is also a huge must for me too!
@@LoverBey in my personal opinion it should go hand-in-hand on a daily basis. #stayhard #neverfinished
I want to tell you Laura, because of you and making carnivore easier to understand, I started carnivore on May first and have lost 28 lbs. I was the heaviest I had ever been, gone through menopause without HRT, and work an enormously stressful job. I had the mindset that I was going to succeed in this. In addition to the weight loss, I have lost the brain fog. I'm not so fatigued all of the time. Gone is the constant heartburn and mucus in my throat. I have seen such improvement. When I need an extra boost I watch one of your videos. Thanks Laura!
Love your look-out on the Carnivore Lifestyle!
I am actually trying a ONE Non-Negotiable at a time.
Then work on another.
Brilliant! ❤
Thanks for your tips and hints..
"JUST STAY CARNIVORE"
Yessssss...Feel confident and move on and break the cycle!
I so appreciate you 😊
Thanks so much !!!!
Letting go of *most of the shame of eating off plan has been a real game changer. Loving myself enough to keep trying. Being real with myself about how a certain food makes me feel and monitoring my self talk. If I’m being mean to myself, I need to go eat some fat. Good luck to anyone watching this or reading this. You are worth it ❤
Thank You…so are YOU!!!
Another inspirational video with great advice!
Congratulations on 200K!!!!
Thank you!!
This really hit home about giving up because I gave in on one thing and so the entire system is ruined. Self sabotaging myself. I needed to hear this. Thank you. ❤
CONSISTENCY, Exercise & Variety in Food are the KEY, to ME Personally!!!
I’ve only been on a few weeks, but other than the occasional beer I have been able to resist even my favorite things. I truly believe it’s because I don’t even have one bite because if I do I know I’m screwed. Don’t get me wrong when out to eat with my whole family and they’re getting all my faves and I have a plain hamburger patty with some bacon, it was a little hell. But I know it’s starting because my clothes are getting looser and looser. I’m also desperate to actually get into ketosis. I check almost daily and it’s never as good as I think it should be. So right now I’m not taking a step back and ruining all the efforts I’ve made so far. I’m following you because what you said about being addicted. I always say I’m a sugar junkie, if I eat one bite of chocolate right now I will lose and I’m making this a personal goal and challenge to be in solid ketosis. Once I’m there I’ll need to find another goal. But one step at a time is the only hope I have.
Thx so much 👏🏼. Just stay carnivore” . That really resonated with me. Appreciate you Laura!
I beat myself up when I don’t meet ALL my goals. Great talk!
yup what I think about the little trips do not worry about them tackle the big things like coffee later same as one day at a time :)
Thank you for the insights! I feel like getting down to my root cause of keeping weight on is how I am finally able to maintain a weight loss with Carnivore.
Yes same for me too!
Love your openness…very helpful. I work night shift and when I started IF I made the decision to not eat at work…always food in the break room, families bringing in food as a thank you(I am a nurse). Lots of sugar and processed foods-which I went off of. After 2 weeks it wasn’t that hard. Been 5 months…everyone at work knows and accepts it now. Down 29 pounds, 2 inches in hips and 3.5 inches in waist. I feel great! And I am so proud of myself for being able to stick to that one thing! Thanks for the added inspiration!!!
This speaks to me so powerfully. I have very little willpower. Finding the one non-negotiable will be a big help to rid myself of a lot of negative self talk. Thank you!
I have very little willpower too...which is why this has worked so well for me! It prevents one little slip from being the "permission" I give myself to spiral out of control.
The nagging internal conversation that starts..."I gotta give up" is so destructive and intrue. Instead I say to myself..being carnivore feels so good you are building an incredible state of health and this (fill in the blank that is tempting you) will not get you there. For ME, this has become my mantra and my carnivore lifestyle is so easy and rewarding. I'm down 80 pounds in 10 months but more importantly all my bad health issues are GONE. Find your internal inspiration and make it meaningful. We will succeed in our healthy carnivore journey ❤❤🥩🐐🐑🐂🥚
This is great advice. Just as you said, I had too many rules to follow. Starting with one non-negotiable seems so much more achievable.
I lost 30 pounds on a carnivore diet and it made me feel soooo good...lost fat without exercise..but hit the candy drawer at work and that was a slow downfall and now regained it..back on the same carnivore diet with intermittent fasting ...I'm ready
No candy, no matter what!!! You got this!!
Oh man get rid of that drawer you don’t need that crap
Others had candy at work and to conceal in my desk from management but I told them I am diabetic I do not want to be tempted don’t put in my desk. So they didn’t anymore. I had to tell myself no because one slip starts a chain reaction of cravings. And to be free of cravings is so good! On Keto I have lost 32 # now on Carnivore 6 days and have lost 5 more. 80 years old. A1C 6.2 was 8.5. Carnivore is easier. I think 45 more to lose.
Thank you for sharing your story and supporting so many of us!
I liked the “just stay carnivore”. I can do that. That will be my non-negotiable. This was super helpful!
I love this Laura. I love the no peanut butter idea. You make sense in this approach. Thank you for all you do!
This is such a simple concept, yet INCREDIBLY helpful. And even relieving! Thank you.
I definitely needed to hear this today. Thanks so much ❤
I am your former you. I love how your one thing is just stay carnivore. I am going to use that! Thank you ❤
Yes yes yes and yes! The best *real* video I have seen in a while.
A lifestyle change is awesome. I can't give up myself. Thank you Laura.💗
Love your videos Laura! I especially like the ones where you are ordering food in restaurants. Thanks for helping so many people navigate the journey.
Thank you!! This helped A LOT!!!! I lost 60 lbs, then, after 2 years I went to Brazil and got off of the "way I eat" ...gained back 30 ponds!!! With all the stress I have been going through, I have NOT been able to go back. This gave me a new perspective!!! Thank you!!!
Excellent video Laura. I love that advice.
You rock, Ma'am. It's mind boggling how I can relate to your videos. I slipped last night but I'm not feeling guilty now. Stay brilliant. Thank you.
Doug
I just love your channel so much. You give great information, thank so much! ❤
Thank you so much 😊 I needed to hear this today. 😊
Such a great concept. When I look at how complicated all of my weight loss efforts were in the past, I guess I’m thankful for the simplicity of this WOE now, including the simplicity of mindset.
Vey well addressed! One non-negotiable! I’m inspired and will do exactly that. Thank you!
Good advice, just one day!
One day I can do this
ANYone can do one day
Such amazing advice, Laura. Totally makes sense. ❤❤
You are inspiring and I appreciate your channel. Thanks for the encouragement and motivation to finally stop the on again off again insanity of my carnivore diet.
I resonated with everything that you said. This is so true! Really good advice for those of us that are stuck to perfectionist ways where it must be doing all the things, or none of the things… Starting with one thing, maybe adding some others, but always having a nonnegotiable to fall back on and still feel successful... YES!
Congratulations on 200,000 subs! 🎉🙌
Thank you so much 😀
This video speaks to me so much! Thanks, Laura! I love your videos and always look forward to them
Your videos are so helpful for me!! So thankful for your content!! Thank you!!!!!
WOW!!! You look amazing!. Congrats on your success. Beautiful!
Oh yes Laura, that’s definitely me. My calendar has so many scribbles on it. Thank you xxxx
You explained my life in the first 5 minutes! Just can’t stay in the eating plan but this video gives me hope. Not giving up!
I am so proud of you. I have met great success as well- after being aged, and cancer , and heavy stress and work load . Yes- lifestyle and implementation.
Kudos !
Ty
Wow that's amzing! love the video!
Great talk TU!
Thank you! You may never know how much this video helped me. I can do this.
Thanks Laura! You’re an inspiration.
I needed to hear this right now. Thank you
Thanks Laura! 👍🥩
Two great books:
1. The One Thing
2. Atomic Habits
Excellent video! Thanks Laura! 😊❤
This is so helpful! Thank you so much!!
Great point! Thanks for sharing!
I think that has been my struggle recently! I love this and it feel so doable!
BRILLIANT!!! BRAVO! Every. Word.
I love it! Just say “not today!” On one thing, then when that’s done and solid in the routine, pick another thing and say “not today!” to that one thing…and just keep beefin’!
It’s pretty darn empowering!❤
Well said, Laura!
Yes! Thank you for this video! ❤
Hi Laura! 3 months ago my husband sent me one of your videos and our whole life changed for the better. Thank you so much! My one nonnegotiable had to be sugar. I was an addict. So, we've been carnivore for 3 months but I've been 2 weeks strict sugar free now and feel great!
Wow. I was expecting a cookie-cutter answer - I figured I had heard every mental method. But this makes a lot of sense to me. I too would try to stack way too many things into my life and inevitably fail. I am going to focus on just eating meat. No forced exercise or anything - just eat meat.
Loved this and really needed this today, Laura- thank you! 💫 my non negotiable is that I get to show up for myself. I tell myself that I get to do that. I then do the small baby steps. Some days I’m only giving 40% but if on those days you’re giving your absolute best, then you’re actually give 100% so yay for everyone who is showing up for themselves, no matter where you are on your journey, be proud of yourself and know that you deserve to show up for yourself.
What does this mean, “show up for yourself”, please?
You are so motivational!❤
OMG this is exactly what I needed to hear today, Laura. I've been on and off the carnivore wagon for years - literally years, and I know I feel so much better when I'm on it. Thank you.
Glad to see this video! I kept thinking I'd missed you somehow and checked once a day! LOL
I do want to tell you that for years I've watched people sponsored by LMNT and never felt compelled to order, partly because I need to supplement pretty heavily daily for a malabsorption condition and already eat a lot of salt. Your approach to your LMNT segments spoke to me, though, and made me consider it. When my a/c started going on the fritz (I'm in the Southeast so hot and humid) I decided I needed to order pronto as a way to economically supplement my supplementation.
I used your link (after hemming and hawing over whose link to use LOL) and I love it. I've actually ordered twice (got the grapefruit and HATED it so ordered Citrus after trying most of the flavors in the sample pack. I do think it's just enough extra to make a difference on super hot and sweaty days when the a/c just can't do its job. Here's hoping they get the part they need to fix it soon! It's been brutal!
BTW, I've noticed that it tastes saltier to me when I'm already pretty well hydrated and not very salty at all when I really need it! Just an observation. I like mine with about 24 Oz of water and sometimes only 16!
That is a great way to look at it and not just in my personal.habit but my professional life as well.
Yes exactly! I am teaching a leadership development class today in my corporate job and there are so many cross overs, successful goal setting is the same process regardless of the goal.
Love all your videos, thank you so much!!! You help me feel better about my goals and fails. 🥰🤗 always a friend!
What a great strategy. Thank you!
I did carnivore for 7 months with diarrhea so bad I couldn't leave the house, ending up with constipation I had to spend 5 days in the hospital. I'm back on Keto and adding vegetables again and doing well. We all have a different system that works.
I had to add in some green veg after 3 years because of constipation! 😂 it’s funny how different we all are!! Glad we’ve found what works for us ❤ xxx
This is good focus on one thing for one day❤
You look fantastic. Your such an inspiration!! ❤
Thank you for all you do! I’ve been trying to get started with carnivore for about a month or 2 now, I get about 2 weeks in and have to binge sugar. But your videos have been helping a lot
So appreciate your videos .
Hi Laura I saw ur short video about loose skin.. but I couldn’t find your video until now lol.. congrats on your journey .. yeah hard to find something stick to ..
My one thing for today- no popcorn. It is the only non keto food I allow myself to eat occasionally. Recently though “ocassionally”. Has been couple times a week. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Same!
