    When weight loss was my goal, back in 2017 & 2018, I had to be consistently super low-carb/keto for 18+ months. For me it was all or nothing, because I am severely insulin resistant. I was able to drop 60 pounds in a bit less than 2 years. I'm maintaining now and I watch my carbs very closely. If I don't, my weight creeps up. When this happens, I dial down the carbs again. My endocrinologist and cardiologist have given me their blessing. They agree with eating low-carb. It's great to have supportive doctors.

    Very helpful, but still not common knowledge and certainly not advice given by most doctors. This method will slowly reduce your body fat, while also making you more insulin sensitive (reduce yourA1C). It is a disgrace and a disservice that the health community does not tell us this more often to more people. Thanks Kait!

    Thank you for talking about the protein problem for some of us! If I don’t stay high fat while eating protein I get spikes! The sugars, the inflammation, the weight gain all go together for me when I eat a lot of protein even with less than 10 total grams of carbs. I can’t eat more than twice a day too.

    I believe I've been IR for at least 20 years. Was diagnosed 3 years ago. Been keto for at least 10 years and ended up having to go carnivore cause it's wasn't working even though it was better than S.A.D. I've been IF for about 3 years now and have been carnivore 8 months. I have finally seen results, but I'm still IR. Even though I've made progress, I still have a ways to go, and I have hit that infamous IR brick wall once again. Have not progressed in 4 months. I just recently added a 36-hour fast once a week (on my 4th week). Since I've started carnivore my A1C has gone from 5.7 to 5.9 and now 6.2 (fasting glucose went down to 99 from 113)
    The one issue that I've had all along dating back over 20 years is my inability to sleep. Although my sleep has improved from 4-5 hours a night, it is still only between 5 1/2- 6 1/2 hours.
    I don't do any devices 2 hours before bed, I go to sleep between 9-9:30 every night, and my dinner time is between 5-6 every night. I fall asleep just fine, but I wake up way too early. I have no control over this. I've even succumbed to taking Marijuana edibles before bed, which helps some nights but not all. I am retired, and my life has no stress (other than worrying about the state of my health)
    I have no doubt in my mind that sleep is interfering with my progress.
    I'm at a complete loss of how to conquer my sleep issues..........
    (P.s. I also do weight training 4 days a week and walk almost every day, been doing so about 4 years now)

    This is the first time I’ve heard about color walking. Sounds interesting. Reminds me of the kids games we employed when our kids were young when going on long trips in the car. Having them watch for specific things kept them occupied and less fractious - calm, in other words - than simply playing at whatever they came up with between themselves. Worth trying. Thanks!

    Weight loss was not my goal, fat loss was.
    OMAD, 60% fat mostly from nuts and seeds and 20% each from carbs and protein, helped me shed 39 lbs / 18 kgs.
    That, coupled with fasted weight training and NEAT being my go-to form of movement, no specific cardio was undertaken.
    Find what works for you. 😃
    The 1 gram of protein is an easy go-to metric, but it could lead to gluconeogenesis, which could in turn hamper getting leaner.
    I tend to gravitate to 0.75 per lb of ideal body weight-again, find what works for you.

    Months of smart food choices, high protein and fat and my weight wasn’t budging. Glucose was staying around 115. Now after one month of carnivore, I’ve lost 9 pounds. Sometimes I’ll add 1/2 avocado. My ketone level stays between .5-2.5 but glucose is still in the prediabetic range. I doubt that I’ll stay carnivore long term, but I’m really trying to get glucose in the 90’s or below.

I need to loose at least 30 lbs or more to be in healthy weight range. It’s hard to excercise as I have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and always stiff and in pain.

Where should I start … should I just slowly reduce the carbs or cut as much out as soon as possible ?

      The good news is kids can “bounce back” from it easier than adults! They will respond to changes quicker. I can’t give specific advice but I think the key is to focus on whole food, and limit processed food as much as possible. Focus less on the macros, whole food carbs will be ok, as long as there is enough protein. Of course getting some movement in will help, even if that’s just a daily walk.

      The video retention on this video says otherwise! Most people watched the majority of the video 😅 but appreciate your personal feedback. I have short, medium and long form videos if you don’t like this format.
