INFORMATION ABOUT Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (which was not part of this video, but I will share this information anyway):
If you aren’t healing and feeling MUCH better after six months of eating this way, I would encourage you to look into other possible causes including Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS).

So much truth here!! Kelly nails it again 🔨💥 While there are many individuals who need bloodwork, hormone or gut testing to find their “mystery” answers for results, this absolutely what I’ve experienced after working with thousands of clients over the last 16 years!
Yup, I love Kelly's no BS, practical, actionable, real-world advice. It is so helpful to get the viewpoint of someone who has already walked the path before me.
TDEE is a great indicator for whether you're an under or overeater. I am an underwater. Eating 3 times a day is helpful. Your advice is working for me. I am down 1 pants size, and they are even are a little baggy on me. TY for your expert advice!
@@miriamprocacci493 what doesTDEE stand for?
What is a tdee
Just started five weeks ago on ketovore
I LOVE burger patties with Redman's real salt. My husband doesn't understand how I don't get sick of burger patties. Burgers, salt and butter make me happy!
I would absolutely love to be able to enjoy plain burgers with salt and butter. Maybe I should try them for a few days in a row and see if they grow on me.
That’s me as well!
I’m going to grill up a bunch of patties to freeze tomorrow. I like to have cooked food on hand and love burger patties with Redmond’s Hickory Salt
@Bherman0578 I had to do that with lamb. I only ate the lean cuts to start in small quantities and gradually added the lamb fat in. I now love lamb. They say eat something 7 times to develop a taste for it. It took more than 7 for me, but it did work. I imagine that's how we learned to eat carbs as kids. I used to hate carbs but was indoctrinated to eat way too much of them.
me as well!
So freaking smart, no wonder you’re a teacher, you are very, very very good at it. Thank you for being you.
Thank you so much, Lynette! ❤️
Soooooo true. Kelly and DRS. Binkman, Baker & Berry are the best explainers for Carnivores.🎉❤ We are lucky to have you!
@@myzerocarblife WOW! This is the best explanation on the topic of calorie restriction. Thank You Kelly
Yes, truth. I have been a licensed Nutritionist and Fitness trainer for over 15 years. One size doesn't fit all.😁👋💪🙏
I agree because it doesn’t fit me.
Yeah, right!
Your mileage may vary (YMMV) should be applied to all of this information.
I am going to leave this nugget here…
I was carnivore and in the main carnivore community for 22 months (oct 2019-July 2021) and lost 64lbs yayyyy. The last 7 months of those 22 months I had stalled-boooo.
I will also add that I am a bulk eater who has an addiction to feeling full.
Everyone in the carnivore community in 2021 preached ‘eat when hungry, stop when full’. I was in all the big groups-zeroing in on health, zero carb, and a few others.
Anytime I mentioned my stall people would say it takes time it takes time keep eating, and again the mantra-eat when hungry, stop when full.
I left carnivore to start counting calories along with eating keto, and was able to lose the rest of my weight.
I’ve now lost 180 Lbs and have maintained that for over 1 year while eating low carb and watching my calorie intake.
This video makes me both happy and sad. Happy that those who are new to carnivore now are open to people eating less, and sad because when I needed to hear this, it wasn’t the trend so I had to leave for my weight health.
Regardless I’m thankful that you are discussing this very important topic.
WHAT R UR STATS PLS SAY UR CALORIE INTAKE AS WELL THAT HELPED U LOOSE AFTER THE STALL.
THANK U THANK U!
Why would you have to leave carnivore to count calories? You could have counted calories on carnivore
Im with you, dude. None of these dang diets work if you eat too much. I’m cold hard living proof.
So what does your daily food intake look like today? Thanks
This isn't helpful mate...WHAT were you eating, how many times per day, how much water were you drinking? There are large numbers of people eating loads of chicken and pork that are not doing well...let us know the details.
I’m definitely a volume eater. This is why I find fasting so helpful to me. It’s easy for me not to eat for at all during a fasting period, and then I can eat bigger meals and get myself nice and satisfied. It works for me, but I also know everyone is different and what works for me might not work for everyone.
I’m a former (YAY) binge eater. Carnivore has freed me from my addiction! I am forever grateful. 🙏 But I have to admit I miss so very much the dopamine hit. Nothing in life gives me that feeling anymore and I’m embarrassed to admit it makes me very sad. I miss it. 😔
That is why I include butter lettuce salad, pure water 🤷🏻♀️but volume
@@soulcostume that wouldn’t give me a dopamine hit though. Volume isn’t a problem, it’s the “high” the sugar and carbs give that I don’t get anymore.
@tiffanys3509 SEX 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm 39 days in on the Carnivore lifestyle. So far it's been pretty great. My energy level has not improved yet though. I eat 2 meals a day, 18 hours between dinner & breakfast. Once I eat breakfast I'm not hungry until dinner. I only lost 3lbs my first 30 days, but lost 7.5 inches overall total. I weighed myself this morning for fun and lost 3 more lbs since Dec 1st. So that's great! I think it just takes a lil time to adjust to the diet. I feel wonderful! Loving life as a Carnivore ❤
7.5 inches is amazing. I don’t use a scale. My waistline tells me where I am at. I am trim but gained weight during the lockdowns. I am back to carnivore.
When I eat my big carnivore breakfast and let it digest for 45 mins it feels like I drank an energy drink that gives me consistent energy all day long without the crash. I hope the same energy kicks in for you eventually, because it is an amazing feeling. I have basically limitless stamina and endurance. I do high intensity weight lifting, and I will need to rest my muscles afterwards so that they grow, but I don't feel tired after the workout.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 Thank you! I figured I'd weigh myself monthly, but I like how you do it. I should stay away from that scale. I gained 50lbs over the last 2yrs and I want to get that off me. I feel great on Carnivore
@@PondersomeIndeed I definitely don't have the afternoon sluggishness anymore, but I don't seem to have enough energy to workout. I hope it kicks in soon. I did read it may take 4-6 weeks to get adjusted and my energy should improve. Thank you for your input, I appreciate it.
Thx BlueLotus for sharing. Being Carnivore is not always roses like we tend to hear, however, there are positive differences that keep us on the path. 4 months here and cannot see me going back to those carbs.
OMG! I'm Ottis!! I have been round and round the hamster wheel with this question throughout my entire 8 year journey on Carnivore. The only real weight loss I have experienced has been very Very VERY slow.
Backstory
Much like Ottis, I am a rescue dog - Born violently allergic to milk - breast, cow, formula, all things baby diet was a recipe for extended stays at the children's hospital. Born 8lb 4oz but soon found my way down to 4lbs. I was born into a life of starvation. To this day I cannot get enough food. I have no off button with carbs- pasta, rice, etc. Animal products? Only physical discomfort can dissuade me. I was fed a slurry of MAZOLLA OIL (yes they prescribed it by name), beef, rice OR wheat, AND SUGAR! Overweight as long as I can remember. My brothers would be greeted with how's hockey? How's school? I got OMG you're getting fat! Ahh memories. (See self loathing below)
Symptoms
Patient presents with the following:
*Morbid obesity - only one in my fam.
*Severe Carb addiction - in the absence of carbs, alcohol cravings rise
*Volume addiction. I crave that feeling of a FEAST
*Depression. Undiagnosed
*Self loathing
*Stress & Anxiety
*Anger Issues
*Cortisol addiction
*Sleep apnea. CPAP
*Insomnia. 2-4 hours
*Chronic perspiration, arthritic knee, lower back pain, skin tags, dandruff, allergies. All significantly improved while eating carnivore, and yet I still struggle to stay on track. Slow results have left me listless in my resolve.
Environment:
House full of carbs. Zero support from family or friends. (Zero = trying to undermine me as proof that this woe is wrong. That was they can still eat carbs without feeling guilty or acknowledging that perhaps it's their diet that has caused their own ailments: T2D, Morbid obesity, severe inflammation, stroke, high blood pressure, joint pain, trigeminal neuralgia, HBP, etc. )
DIAGNOSIS: Acute Ottis-a-litis
I could never discern between the conflicting messages:
Eat all you want
Eat all you can
Eat less for weight loss
Eat 80%+ fat
Eat less fat - force your body to burn your own fat
Eat high protein to heal your body
Eat moderate protein to restrict insulin
Eat OMAD or OMETD
Eat often to flood your body with nutrients and remove any sense of restriction
CLEAR AS OTTIS POOP!
Thank you Kelly so much for your videos. They are truly helpful, meaningful, and relatable (That was in no way sarcastic and meant to be very sincere)
It seems to me that you are a beautiful one of a kind special individual who has had a rough start in life that determined the rest of your life. But I believe that if you keep going you will get the right answers and the way that works for you. Like this fantastic video for instance.
I have the luxury of living alone and withdrawing myself from social gatherings whilst in the middle of figuring out what works for me. Had no idea I would ever say this, but I am an undereater on Carnivore. So from today on upping my fat intake and see how that goes. But when I look at the list of symptoms that have gone away already, I feel so much better and weightloss isn't number one priority, its about healing.
Take care and don't let them bully you, one day you will figure it out and they will all be asking for your advice and guidance.
lots of love and the Carnivore community has your back!
look into a parasite cleanse! Vets know that if a pet is overeating or under eating (gaining weight or under weight they have parasites. These parasites can be visible in the bell (aka worms) or microscopic parasites (not visible to the eye).
for parasite info see channels Dr Berg, dr group, dr axe, brenda watson road to perfect health, candida eric bakker naturopath (his old chan name but, this will get you to his chan), Dr Ken berry etc.
parasites are huge issues with humans & pets.
library will have books on this.
local health food store will have the herbs to take. there are different protocals such as 10 days on parasite cleanse herbs then 5-7 days off then 10 on etc for 90 days. Why 90 days? because herbs & Rx for parasites dont kill the eggs so you have to do a cleanse for 90 days to kill off all the parasites. The whole family including pets should do a cleanse.
also look into opening up your lymph pathways and heavy metal detox. Fro opening up your pathyway see channel Dr Mindy pelz and her vids on heavy metals. for heavy metals see chan dr group, dr axe, candida eric bakker naturopath (also see his vids on SIBO, candida, h pylori, gut issues)
seriously look into these. It might be that you picked up a bad bacteria/virus/parasites when you were in your mothers belly or at the hospital that is still causing you health issues.
take care.
😂❤
Hang n there! Focus on ruminant meat and fat. If you can eat pork, the fat is very satiating also, in my opinion. Keep researching and watching videos, reading books like The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholtz or Gary Taubes books, and watch every carnivore video you have time for. Dr. Berry, Dr. Elizabeth Bright, Dr. Hampton, Dr. Baker Carniverous me on UA-cam are also some of my favorites. Once you understand how damaging starchy carbs and sugars are for your body, this will reinforce your efforts. Carb loving bacteria in the gut must be starved out. These bacteria communicate with our brain through the vagus nerve. No cheat meals. If you slip, get right back on carnivore. No blaming yourself. Be your own best friend. Reward yourself with good health and better mood.
❤️🩹
Otis would probably need quite a long time on raw carnivore until his hormones and other systems get balanced and then as you said he may never recover because having lived on the streets his psychology is just “EAT EVERYTHING, JUST IN CASE!”. Thanks for the video!
Another great video about the Carnivore lifestyle by the one and only Kelly Hogan!
Fancy seeing you here 😉
@@CourtneyLunahello my friend!!!!
I gained nearly sixty pounds on carnivore following the "eat until full" protocol. I can easily consume enough for two or three people. I have to do some form of food tracking to make sure I'm eating enough for my health, and no more.
That's the case for many, many folks who are then shocked when they gain on a diet said to make the weight fall off. Absolutely, I think most people need some form of tracking to keep things functional.
I find there's 2 types of satiety. There's stomach full, and food isn't appetizing type. Carnivore usually does the second one, but a lot of people don't have the right hormonal or something balance for that to kick in, and instead eat until stomach full, which with meat, is fat more calorie dense for the volume.. so they can add fat. Try to eat more protein and a bit less fat than keto ratios and try to keep it reasonable. I like to add some non-starchy veg to bulk up the food sometimes, but it works for me.
You have to embrace that feeling I call "cheetah mode". You've eaten very little, but ketosis has dulled your hunger to where it is just a reminder that you are running on belly fat and not on burger patties. Eventually the feeling grows into real hunger and the cheetah catches a gazelle; likewise you'll eventually have that chicken drumstick. But not until you've spent some of that onboard fat fuel.
@@hektor6766THIS is such a good comment, thank you for that. It's the perfect metaphor and so true
Shawn Baker says that there really is no ketosis on the carnivore diet. It's very different from keto.@@hektor6766
I’m an Otis. I track my intake. I prioritize protein, shooting for 130 grams per day. Adding fat when needed. Taking in about 1800 calories per day. My go to plain meal is eggs. Just eggs cooked in butter. After an event/ social gathering I reset with eggs.
Thank you for taking the time to share with us. I, for one, greatly appreciate it. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
I like the idea of resetting with eggs. Thanks for the info!
How many eggs will you eat per day?
I do this as well!! It's great for the reset after I.F. After going Carnivore.. I don't count calories..
@@carnivorepadawanI eat 8 to 9 eggs a day.
I count grams of protein, because I have Type 1 diabetes, so I have to calculate my insulin doses. I also take enough fat to balance the meat, but just make sure I get a lot, and my digestion tells me if it is too much.
Kelly Hogan is so needed in this space. Proving there is such a need for bridges! Kelly your no-nonsense, non-polarizing, research influenced common sense approach is a breath of fresh air! Somehow you manage to further simplify some of the over-simplified dogmatic schools of thought. Keep it coming! And thank you!
I really didn't want calories to matter. I really really REALLY didn't want them to. But, they do. My disordered eating over my lifetimes has just screwed me all up. I have followed Atkins, low carb, Keto, and carnivore since 2007. I have lost and gained the same 60 pounds over and over and over. I knew, eating until you are full was not working for me, but I was in such denial. Gonna whip out the TDEE calculator and start tracking calories. It's the one thing I have refused to do, and it is the one thing that I know I have to do.
After eating this way all these years, I have stopped tracking everything. I use to weigh myself everyday, measure the food, take electrolytes and salt my meat. Now all I know is I’m eating somewhere about 3 pounds of 88/12 ground beef, some aged white cheddar cheese and no longer add salt or electrolytes. Even though I’m full of energy I have drastically cut back on the amount of exercise I am doing. Everything has finally come together 100% I’m satisfied with my food, I no longer have cramping issues and my body is still recomposing. I wish everyone else good luck finding their sweet spot.
I’ve been carnivore for 9 years now, and have never tracked calories. To me, the important thing is not when to stop eating, but when to start. By that I mean that it doesn’t matter how much I eat at any one meal, as long as I wait until I am hungry again before I eat again.
This morning, for instance, I had a huge breakfast, and it’s late afternoon now and I’m still not hungry. So I haven’t eaten anything else yet. If I had had a smaller breakfast, I would have gotten hungry by now, so I would have eaten. If I go to an all-you-can-eat barbecue place I will eat beyond stuffed. But that doesn’t mean I have overeaten, because I will not be hungry again for 24 hours or so.
This is a great comment. The topic is confusing for me right now. I currently could probably eat 1-2 meals a day, if only eating when I am hungry. But some say (I think!) to make sure you eat enough calories a day….that it’s bad to undereat. I wish I understood this better. Really appreciate Kelly making this video to help those of us struggling understand this better!
I have a serious carb addiction, so I have done the carnivore for the first time 3 years ago.
Since then, I have fallen a million times, but I'm still trying, I know I will eventually win, coz I refuse to give up.
Me too, my friend.
This video was EXACTLY what I needed, thanks so much!
I am on day 69 of my Carnivore journey and it feels like I am stuck. I used to be a carbaddict/overeater/binging. But, on Carnivore I just realized I am undereating and feeling sluggish, having food cravings constantly. I thought that by eating less I would speed up my weightloss...so by looking at your video it gave me the confidence that I should keep listening to my body and eat the way I used to in the beginning of my Carnivore journey because that worked really well. More meat and eggs. Just now I ate an extra beef pattie (3 instead of 2) plus 2 eggs with butter for lunch and I already feel like a million bucks, like I am back on track! Thank you thank you thank you!
If you do Intermittent Fasting.. be sure n mix up your eating window and Fasting times.. I'm down 60 lbs in 6 months.. so I'm feeling better. Just another 40 lbs to go.
Happy hunting on your Carnivore journey.
@@mikab.4041
@@mikab.4041 I upped my fat intake and immediately feel so much better, thanks
An idea for OMAD that may be worth trying
I used to do OMAD and had my one meal for dinner. This was a real struggle for me.
One day I ate such a big lunch I wasn't hungry for dinner and the lightbulb went on. Instead of having the one meal at dinner have it at lunch. This has been life changing. It is almost effortless for me. I am not hungry at dinner time. I have a part of my brain nagging me for a few moments because of the routine of eating at dinner time. But if I just do something else I forget all about it. I am never hungry in the morning. So the only time I am feeling hungry is between about 11am and noon. Even then, it is not a ravenous feeling. I am just getting interested in having some food.
It might not work for everyone because of work and family schedules. Plus not everyone enjoys the same thigns.
But I do enjoy eating a big meal. I never feel "stuffed." Just very satisfied.
The other thing I do when I break my fast is I start with an "appetizer" to tame down any hunger before I eat lunch. the appetizer is always somethign very nutrient dense like sardines, cod liver, eggs, smoked salmon, canned mackerel...
Thank you for being a lantern in my path. 120lbs down and in stall since 4 months despite everything I try to do but holding on and not letting go. Just finished a 72 hrs fast and I feel better than ever. Thank you among many others who helped with their contents. Only regret I didn’t know of this so much earlier in my life.
Thank you so much! ❤️
@@myzerocarblife thank YOU 🙏🏻
Kelly I love how you acknowledge that there are differences between people and what works with someone may not work with others. That's what makes you an effective coach
I don't know what my deal is, I know I can't go to all you can eat buffets or be around a bunch of food at someone's house where a lot of people are eating bc I will stuff myself into oblivion. It is not a feeling I enjoy, I'm absolutely miserable afterwards, but it's like I can't stop myself. So I avoid these situations entirely
And THIS is why you're my favorite carnivore coach!!! This makes a lot of sense!! ❤❤❤
Thank you, Kelly
Thank you so much, Cindy! ❤️
Holy dog! I’m like Otis. I have that you said VOLUME ADDICTION 😮 it makes sense. You and dr Lisa recommend me to do 80/20 fat/protein ratio at the NJ meatup, as my friend Marina always said too, I tried for a few days, but after eating I still hungry so I went back to 2-3 pounds of meat until I reached the highest weight 😢 the scale move a little bit watching the sunrise and sunset, grounding and exercise. But in October I’m in low protein high fat and less of 20g total carbs the scale is going better, because I got a glucose sensor and I discovered that too much protein was raising my glucose levels 😮 so I feel much better now 🎉
I wish it was as simple as this Kelly. I've tried every which way and I only lost a few pounds by intermittent omad fasting, but now it has stalled again. Let's face it, some large number of us will never fully succeed
mjdailamy, for stalls, have you tried buying fat trimmings from the butcher? Air-fryer or stove top to how crispy you like it. Eat that a few times during the day. OR, do a day or 2 of eating as many cans of sardines as you like. These are a couple of go-to plans for breaking stalls a bit
Adding more beef and pork fat into my carnivore diet helps with satiety, mood, sleep and energy. I use iodine drops, too. Movement of some kind is very important, too. For a person like me in my 70’s who exercises moderately, my caloric requirements are probably less. I think the RDA, as well as caloric requirements need to be revised for those of us on a a carnivore or ketogenic diet. We are getting so much more nourishment per calorie.
I agree! Thank you so much, Jeanne! ❤️
Very good information. I'm 51. I've done the whole gamut of Atkins/keto/IF over the last 23 years. I finally started carnivore about 4 months ago. I am in my desired weight zone and now I'm just trying to learn to maintain. I like your hamburger patty test because I am definitely the volume addiction type.
Yes, that’s the best suggestion that Kelly has ever come up with 😁
Here's my recipe and instructions:
My local grocery store & Costco.
4 ingredients
Hamburger - Costco 6.5 to 7 lb pack cut in half - one half per batch. I make 2 batches
Sardines in WATER - grocery store or Big Lots 4 cans (2 cans per batch)
Oysters in WATER - grocery store 1 can - 1/2 can per batch (I physically separate them in half by size to be equal after draining them)
Eggshells - dried and very finely ground.
2 medium size bowls
Food Processor
Cookie scoop
Rubber Spatula
Snack or Sandwich sized zip bags (depends on if the amt your SMALL dog eats fits in that size) (50-55 per each 2 batch prep)
💥 MIX....
3 oz of beef or chicken hearts (chicken is waaaay easier - my husband grinds the beef heart f for me as I used to have to filet it as one dog is allergic to chicken)
3 oz of beef or calf liver
2 tsps of finely ground eggshells
1/2 can of oysters IN WATER
2 cans of sardines IN WATER
.... into the Food Processor and blend
💥 Add to first bowl
💥 Repeat
💥 Add to second bowl
💥 Add 1/2 of the hamburger meat broken up into pcs in first and other 1/2 into the other bowl
💥 Mix as you would for making meatloaf.
💥 Scoop two cookie scoops into each snack bags and zip closed after all bags are filled.
💥 Lay into box that works for your freezer size and can handle 50-55 bags. I use a New Balance shoe bag.
💥 Put in freezer and take out bags of meals to the the day before you need to use them.
💥 I even put a 1 cup pyrex measuring cup of water in the microwave for 45 secs them put the two snack bags in them for a bit to warm the patties up before putting into their metal food bowls.
💥 Wash bowls after every meal.
My dogs are 12 - 15 lbs.
I use 2 cookie scoops per snack sized bags and get about 50-52 bags filled in total from the 2 batch prep.
It takes me approximately 1 to 1.5 hrs on a day before trash day. Once every other week.
Set up a small plastic grocery bag where you prep to immediately put trash in after use (i.e. sardine & oyster cans and paper towels used).
I use the cabinet above my work area to hang one handle of the bag between the two joining cabinet pulls.
Always wipe down your countertops with antibacterial spray.
I even pick a clean paper towel off to open the dishwasher handle with, to put rinsed off Food Processor parts into for cleaning after I'm done.
NOTE: DON'T feed raw and kibble in n the same bowl or day. They digest at different rates and will mess up your dog's digestive system. Every day raw is best, but feed raw as many days as you can afford.
Good video. On the subject of fasting, my opinion is it is not about calorie restriction, even though that takes place. It is about allowing your body to fuel itself from your own fat
Reserves along with allowing autophagy to take place 😊
Thank you, Kelly, you are just so generous with all the information and support and actual free coaching that you provide here on you tube. You are so appreciated! This was so helpful.
Wow, thank you! I appreciate that kind feedback, Donna! ❤️
I'm an Otis when I have stress in my life. But when things are happy w work, relationships, friends, money etc then I seem to sleep better and lose weight much easier. Reducing stress or at least learning to deal with it is key for me.
This video is so valuable on so many levels that I would pay for it, first because you are destroying my mistaken beliefs about the topic with logic and explaining the whys in an axiomatic and simple way, second because you have gone through it and I value the experience and it gives me confidence, third because the approach is very personalized, you tried the typical things that are usually done in this path from the mainstream point of view to the carnivore point of view, and finally because you explain the main mistakes of other approaches with logic, thank you very much. Greetings from Spain.
Wonderful story to help us understand why some need more than others. I learn so much from your videos Kelly. Been carnivore for 2 months, I’m 68 and I’ve lost 12.4 lbs and made my first goal this morning. You’re a wonderful teacher. Thank you and please never stop with the pep talks!
Kelly, you nailed it again! It's obvious you are a natural teacher (by profession and by nature) and your listening/learning audience is most grateful. Your delivery of what can be sometimes confusing (contradicting) information is easy to absorb and understand - such valuable ideas and experiences shared. Thank you!
I'm going to let you know there is another theory, and what I believe is the correct theory about metabolic disease, but most people don't understand it.
It's what I call the "fructose/survival pathway" theory of obesity and metabolic disease.
This is Dr. Richard Johnson's theory. It says that fructose consumption causes metabolic changes to our body to help us survive the winter famine our ancestors faced every year. Our ancestors ate fruit in the fall, and the fructose cause us to change our metabolism, and helped us gain a few pounds so we could survive until food became available again.
I have studied Johnson's work extensively, and everything he says makes evolutionary sense. It explains why we crave fructose so much, it explains why animals, like bears and birds eat fruit to gain fat and change their metabolism to migrate or hibernate; it explains why our ancestors ate starches for thousands of years without getting metabolic disease; it explains the different metabolic pathways of glucose and fructose; it explains why diabetes and fructose consumption is perfectly correlated among populations; and it explains why evolutionary thougth and history are important factors to be considered when analyzing biological sciences.
The possible reason Ben Bikman does not understand Dr. Johnson's theory is because he is a scientist, and he may not be interpreting his ideas through an evolutionary perspective.
Bikman is a Mormon, and Mormons are notorious for being creationists. He may not accept Dr. Richard Johnson's research into fructose and it's evolutionary survival benefits.
I think it's important for people to understand Richard Johnson's work. Nicholas Horowitz is figuring it out, and talking a lot about it...
I wrote a book called "Cavemen Weren't Fat" where I explain Richard Johnson's work, and go into great detail why fructose consumption is the real main driver of metabolic disease.
This may be one of the MOST helpful videos on Carnivore I’ve watched. Thankyou!
100% is our job to start carnivore and discovering what we need as time goes on.
I’ve been both Otis and Millie. But now I may be a Kelly with a twist of veggies 😂
I’m high meat based nutrition eater that throws in some veggies that I can tolerate sometimes. It just depends. Going on 5 years. I started out on keto. 133 lbs down. Up 10-15 lbs as well as down 10-15 lbs. I’m a scale user. That’s what has always helped ME to discern and look at what I ate over 48 hours. Things that could potentially be problematic for me.
We used to do celebration get togethers by going to a restaurant. While every now and then we still do, I don’t find joy in eating the way I used to. I love the people and catching up. But the food? Eh
When I started paying attention to my eating habits, I found myself feeling pretty much neutral when I ate. Feeling about the same before, during and after eating. That’s when everything changed for me. When I’m TRULY hungry, I enjoy the foods that I choose to eat to refuel my body with and give it the nutrients it wants. I have foods on repeat like Kelly. When I want something different, I change it up. Weird how that “on repeat “ thing works.
Thank you Kelly! Very informative and shows people a lot of different approaches they can try. 👏🏼👏🏼❤🕊️
I think this is the best video for not only carnivores, but for a lot of different people who go on diets in general. Especially for people who struggle with the dieting mentality or with eating disorders. Lots of helpful and thought provoking questions. Loved this, thank you!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much! ❤️
I eat meat when ever I want. It’s working for me.
I enjoy revisiting your videos at different times of my Carnivore journey!
Powerful Kelly. This is extremely important information… especially for newbies.
Beauty and brains! What a gift to us all!
Re Otis. I have an extra large mix who blew up to 147 lbs on a raw meat diet (he’d been on one for years). His Vet thought he should be not much more than 100lbs. I realized one day he was losing hair on his tail and back legs and had his thyroid checked - it turns out he has hypothyroidism. He’s dropped down to 115 so far in a short amount of time without me changing his portion size. Just food for thought for any dog owners who might be in the same boat
Thanks Kelly great video.
Calories of course matter
If you’re eating carnivore and losing weight great
If you’re not, tracking calories, even for just a short amount of time, can be a great tool
Great, simple message
Poor Otis! 😂
I loved your story-telling. Subbed.
🎉KELLY🎉 I have a Dachshund and Dachshuaua... meaning more Dachshund than Chihuahua!
First, you gotta know about Dr Karen Becker (on UA-cam)--she is to pets as all our Carnivore Drs are to people! She's been an integrative and holistic Vet for decades and is an Animal Angel on Earth. She has hundreds of free videos on just about every subject. I've learned so much from her!
Next, I'll post what I now feed my two... all of it with directions. Mine are between 12-15 lbs and get walked about 1/2 mile per day for exercise, so you can guage to yours in weight and activity level.
She originally added ground flaxseed, ground raw pumpkin seeds, blueberries, basil, kelp powder and chicken wings (which I am too gunshy to feed still so I finely grind the eggshells and add them instead), but unless blueberries are in season...I don't use any of these ingredients anymore just strict Carnivore.
Excellent This is where the rubber hits the road. Thank you. Your explanation is so clear. High insulin levels make calorie levels more important. Noting the stomach stretch dopamine hit for some people explains a lot
This has been a terrific video. Subscribed just because it’s so refreshing to see someone online who not only has a good relationship with information but can also synthesize that into pragmatic, actionable, advice for a variety of cirumstances, explained in understandable terms. Subject matter aside, very well done video discussion. Thank you!
She is the best!
A great video, Kelly! I am super excited about the coaching in January!!
Great analogy. My dog is eating a carnivore diet now. Once I switched him he has more energy than ever. He used to sleep a lot now all he wants to do is go outside.
Kelly, you are an absolute treasure and a gift to those in need of your always positive and supportive influence!! As a bonus, you are hilariously entertaining and definitely my favorite UA-cam health and wellness person!! Keep up the invaluable work!! 👏 👏
Awesome video as always!!! Thank you for all you do!!
Such brilliant insight Kelly ❤❤
Hi Kelly! I'm super intrigued by carnivore and the issues you started with. I'm a year into intermittent fasting and trying hard to find my way in health and nutrition. I have actually gained 5# recently and came across you via Dr. Berry. I've done keto, IF, vegetarian, whole 30...hoping this is THE WAY. It makes sense but being 57 and in menopause, I'm leary but willing to try! Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Great job! You are so fun and down to earth and always great information.
Volume control is def one of my issues. Ty for this video🎉
Thank you, Kelly. 🌸
This makes so much sense Kelly! Thank you!
You are such a great teacher, Kelly. You keep it interesting and understandable. Thank you!
Hi Kelly. I am a 61 year old and I have RA. I started keto around three years ago and went mostly carnivore for the last two years. I have decided that I need to go back to tracking my meals because I have been gaining a bit of weight after losing 50 lbs. Over the summer, I kinda got in the habit of snacking on bacon and pork rinds. Apparently, Otis and I share a few things, lol. So I am doing my best to track, weigh and measure what I eat, and get back to mindfully eating, not mindlessly snacking. I also have an issue where it takes my stomach a while to signal the brain that it's full. So I am try to eat slowly as well, and give my stomach time to communicate with my brain. I am mostly sedentary, I work a desk job, and most of my exercise comes from working in my yard during the summer. In the winter, I always feel tired and achy, and I am not as active. I guess I am saying that I am one of those people who need to track their eating and not just nibble whenever the urge hits or they are bored. 💖💖💖
Try going on short walks whenever you have 15 minutes or more in your day. Prioritize movement.
@@jeannedigennaro6484 That's great advice for every human, regardless of what they eat.
Well we're not meant to be snacking😮. You're not eating enough carnivore foods at meal times.
Start walking a little everyday.
Thank you Kelly for this
great comprehensive video. Keeping it real like you do is what helps me figure all this out. It was nice to meet you at Rebekah’s Fall retreat. You are the real deal authentic person. 😊
Thank you so much! 🙌🏼❤️
Good morning Kelly! I love and appreciate your videos. Have a great day ❤
I must say this is the best advice I have ever found related to volume eating.
Hey Kelly
I think I agree with you. The idea that we should be totally in a “camp” makes little sense. I like that you are flexible with these issues.
I struggle figuring out the right amount of food to eat. I’ve been documenting my carnivor-ish journey for the past 3-4 months. I have lost weight but have lots of stalls. My guess is that it is because I am not pure carnivorous.
Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
Excellent explanations, as always. Thank you. Kelley, you just saved me from a bunch of sugar. Yesterday I had bought a Stollen and was somehow struck by Christmas sentimentalities, and I ate 3 slices. Now I realized that this is insane so I followed an advice from one of your other videos and put dish soap on it and put it into the trash.
Bless you, Kelly. This is a great topic to cover. Much appreciated. ❤️
This has been so helpful. I’m on day 10 of the diet and my questions increase daily. I signed up for coaching a while back. Can’t wait to start on Feb 5!
I don't count calories and I'm down 82 lbs in 5 months. I do OMAD because I'm never hungry more than that. I fast longer when I just feel like it and I do it for autophagy to eat up loose skin not for weight loss. That seems to just be happening regardless.
I don’t like feeling over full.
Yes I hate that feeling.
You are a positive influence in our crazy, mixed up world.
How kind! Thank you so much, Barry! ❤️
This is so great! So grateful for you Kelly! Thank you! 🥰
Hi Kelly! I just joined your January coaching group and I’m so excited!!! See you on the flip side!! 🥰❤️
I agree, it has to do with individual lifestyles. I’m 29 days in and have lost 11 lbs but I know it will probably slow down but I’m prepared for that. More important to me is I’m not longer pre diabetic which was my main goal❤
Kelly! What an awesome video! You are just so great at explaining and giving actionable steps! So many excellent points and tips here! 👏👏♥️♥️
WOW. Sooo helpful. Great job. Thx!
Great discussion, Kelly! I love the way you simplify these things so we can understand that what works for one doesn't necessarily work for someone else AND what worked for me in the beginning may need some tweaking today, and again tomorrow. You're such a great teacher and encourager. THANK YOU for all you do!
I could listen to your voice all day long!!!
I use the Carb Manager App to track my macro's more than anything. But it also shows calories. I don't worry about the calories much.
I use calories as a rough guestimate so I don't under eat. I don't want to slow down my metabolism by under eating or fasting too often.
Try Cronometer. It tracks all the nutrients as well
Such a great topic and example. I haven't tracked a ton on carnivore because I guess I was more a Millie. However I am tracking on December for the data and to make sure my appetite is returning after surgery. Thanks for all you do Kelly! -Taryn
Yes, you can gain weight on any diet if you overeat even good food . I start counting calories for a year or two. Now I don't. I can now listen, had to learn how to do that, to my body. If I am hungry, I eat. If not, I don't. Not often, but I will get a day when I want extra and the next day back to normal. I have lost 72 lbs over 3 years. I am slow, but I have not had an issue with regain.
My goodness Kelly! This video is packed with so much truth! It's been one year since starting this lifestyle change through Kelly's coaching. I'm so happy with my overall health improvements and results. However, after watching this impactful video, I know I am a volume/palatable food eater. I can eat all the deviled eggs! Watching this video has really helped to zero in on some needed observations and take action. I need to step it up a notch and reign in some overeating tendencies. Thank you so much Kelly Hogan!!!!
27:12. 👍 Kelly, I love your knowledge and also your teaching style and mannerisms. Your school kids are blessed to have you as your teacher, as are your own kids. Thanks for being you! ❤️
Thank you Kelly, this is such good info!!
Thank you so much, Ellen! ❤️
Love this! Thanks 😊
Exactly Kelly, “whatever works for me” should be everyone’s mantra regardless of what they do in life - WOE or otherwise. 😊🙏❤️
LOVED this! You are a brilliant teacher ❤
Thank you so much, Kathy! ❤️
I might have to try that and I will once I am back on my feet financially. Thanks for this Kelly Hogan
Wow! This is a game changing video for me!! I never even considered leptin or how I eat. I just always feel hungry. Thanks!! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Kelly!!!
Wow, very helpful. I have raging eczema and I need this diet. It is such a radical change, your advice helps me to dial it in.
One of your best videos Kelly! Thank you 💜
Thank you so much for being the voice of reason 😊 This is very, very helpful indeed.
It's important to count..... but only for check that we don't undereating... RMR/BMR is the minimum kcal we need...
That was very helpful info, Kelly. Thank you!
Thank you for this video it gave me a lot to think about. I am not the calories in calories out camp. Because there seems to be an assumption that all calories are the same and your body responds to them the same. That being said calories are the measurement we use for volume or amount of food. However there are other things to consider when adjusting food intake. I thought your, whatever you said it was called, chart was brilliant. I appreciate the thought you clearly put into this and how you simplified something that could be made complicated.
A touchy subject indeed! Thanks Kelly and well done on a wonderfully succinct, and comprehensive look at a very important subject. This has certainly been my experience as a strict carnivore for 6 years.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much! ❤️
Since I have started carni for about 6 months now I track calories and struggle to eat enough. Some days I cannot eat more than 500 calories. The food just won't go down and I feel terrible eating more!!! This is a real struggle. I am never ever hungry. I used to eat 3000-4000 calories before carnivore a day but now it is the opposite! And my hunger signals are no longer a growling stomach. Hunger translates into extreme fatigue. This has never happened to me! This has been a huge adjustment!!! Oh! Yah! And I take 45 minutes to eat my food. I used to wolf food down but no longer. This is weird!!!
So good!! Love the story with your dogs it makes so much sense!!
