I'm a 65 yo Aussie male, have always been on the thin side. In 2000 I was in a near fatal car crash with broken bones, ruptured spleen and TBI. I made a good recovery - surprised the doctors who told family members I wasn't expected to live through the night. However, around 4 - 5 years later I started to develop a digestive disorder, suffering severe bloating, abdominal pain and great difficulty passing gas or anything for that matter. I saw many doctors, specialists, nutritionists who told me to change my diet and eat lots of fiber etc etc. So I ate more wholesome cereals and vegetables and my pain only got much worse. In fact, I got so bad recently I believed I was going to die - I even prayed I would die because my life has been completely destroyed - I haven't been able to do anything except staying home, cradling my painful stomach and aching limbs. My new doctor I found since moving interstate to be with my sister said he would get to the bottom of it. All he did was prescribe different pills to try get my intestinal muscles working as food was extremely slow moving. Nothing worked, and so he has referred me to a surgeon with the prospect of a hemicolectomy! I've never been in a darker place in my life as this. Last week, I was praying for God to help me, to show me a way out of this hell. Suddenly this channel popped up, talking about the carnivore diet. I was watching one of the episodes explaining how it all worked. I found other videos explaining the science behind it all and guess what? I have been eating nothing but meat, fish and eggs the past 4 days and my bloating has stopped! My bowels are slowly starting to work again after 15 years of constipation and gallons and gallons of Movicol and laxatives! I've also been drinking ginger and garlic tea because I've been feeling nauseous since a recent colonoscopy where they removed 5 polyps. The past three mornings have been the first in many months waking up without stomach cramps... My journey continues with a bright light at the end of the tunnel!! Thank YOU!
I believe the carnivore diet will work for you, William, but you might want to also look into the GAPS diet. The two can be combined together, so no need to go off carnivore, but it sounds like your gut biome has been through hell so you might want to give it a little extra help with some tips from the GAPS protocol.
I believe it's perfectly okay telling people you can lose weight without exercising. A LOT of people would not even start if they had to exercise AND change their diet at the same time. People get to carnivore because they have health issues they can't resolve. They feel bad and exercise is just not something they can do at the same time. I think the exercise will follow naturally later as you begin to feel better.
This is extremely true. I wasn't looking to lose weight, and I was never so debilitated that I couldn't do occasional exercise like hiking (unless I was having a joint pain flare-up), but the idea of exercising and changing my diet at the same time never even crossed my mind. I went carnivore in September 2022 and by November I felt so amazing that I started seriously exercising for the first time in almost a decade. It wasn't even on my radar at the start! I just wanted to stop feeling so sick all the time.. joint pain, fatigue, muscle weakness, unstable blood sugar, severely disordered mood, ADHD, poor sleep, a headache that I had for literally three years straight with no reprieve, etc... there was just no way I was in a position to be stressing my body further. I think it's better to tell people they should try the diet and to focus on how they feel not what they weigh, and often it seems, they'll find the energy and motivation to begin exercising after their body starts to heal.
I was too weak and having such bad joint pain, exercise wasn’t even an option. In the third week of carnivore that all changed. Now I’m excited to workout because I actually CAN. The weight was coming off regardless but I knew I’d feel even better if I could also get in better shape.
My 'why' is what keeps me on track when I think about straying. NO more cane, NO more wheelchair, and I completed a 3MILE hike down a mountain, and back up to the car! It's true - NOTHING tastes as good as healthy feels!!
Two of my favorites on the same screen. I'm 9 months in. I started carnivore because I heard it could reduce arthritis pain. I couldn't stand for more than 2 minutes without severe pain. Last week I came in just under 15 miles on my walk.
@@coach.bronson I'm fantastic. Down 134 pounds in 9 months. Walking every day. Doing body weight exercises every other day. A laundry list of health problems including T2D gone.
My biggest regret is I never realized the benefits of eliminating cheese until I finally did it. Weight fell right off, bloating dropped and most importantly stomach issues cleared up
Nice. I will try that too. I have been thinking about it for years Also, can you tell me what the regret in the video is? I watched 80% of it and have no idea what it is
@@antikokalis just saying my biggest regret was I didn't catch this sooner. I also regret the fact it's true haha meaning I love cheese and not being able to eat it makes things a lot more difficult
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 Thanks. I got your point. What i don't understand is the title of the video. I watched most of it and didn't see neither of them talking about their biggest regret lol
Watched this today and decided to get moving as best I can. I’m 80 years old have been carnivore for a couple months. Lost 8 lbs right off but am not active due to bad knees and back. I’m trying to get my blood pressure under control, sleep much better. I’m going to try walking in my house more each day, doing so exercise setting down and see if I can loose so more fat. Thanks for the encouragement
Just move as much as you can: doing house chores counts too. do stretches lying/sitting down on chair/floor. You can do it! Stick to good eating habits and get good sleep. Good luck in your journey: it can be done at any age.
Kelly, I went to Dr. Dunlap when I was 16-32. God led me to you through first Jordan Peterson then his and you popped up on my screen. Been praying for help with stomach issues, celiac disease, bloating Barrett esophagus, constant diarrhea, complex pain syndrome, headaches, fibromyalgia and high anxiety. You are a godsend to me . After a 3rd or 4th endoscopy I have been miserable and started researching for gut issues. I follow JP for other reasons. So this has definitely come from many prayers. I have already started and Wow!! the changes in my stomach is amazing. After 3 days my diarrhea has stopped and gas is gone!! Easy to sleep, easy to rise. God bless you!!!!
@@purebloodsunite7489 no, not once, but I wasn't really overweight but had the pain issues,and IBS but the celiac and others had not shown up. Hey, I am so much better every day, it's amazing the quality of life. Everything is changing for the better!!!!
Not sure this will help you but I had similar situations started to get scared. Couldn't believe the improvement once I eliminated cheese. If you haven't I'd be surprised you won't improve more doing so
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 You are probably so right and I appreciate this bc my only weakness is cheese! But I gave it up. I was already GF but now I know so much more. I have been so much better, clear headed,this is amazing. I appreciate your comment.
WAIT WAIT WAIT RECORD SCRATCH HOLD UP Was that Bronson's SIXTY NINE YEAR OLD mom in the video clip at 28:50??? She looks phenomenal!!! PLEASE have her on for an interview, Kelly!! I want to know everything about that woman.
@@e.williams13 I’m just over two months in now, and I have lost about 35lbs without exercise. I don’t have any more energy, but I do feel better for the change. I will stick at it until my weight is down and then review to see whether my body is healing. So far the IBS is much better, I’m losing less hair, my finger nails are much stronger, and I don’t smell as much if I don’t have the energy to shower. Every success with your challenges.
Five years ago it was obvious my health was failing. I started eating carnivore and lost 120lbs and my health improved remarkably. However there was still a big problem. So last winter it culminated with a cancer diagnosis and a big surgery. After that I was 170 lbs, I hadn't been there since I was 14 years old (I'm 6''2"). I never knew how weak I could be. I was like a rag doll. I started moving and trying to get some strength back after 3 months. So I got stronger and got back to about 190 lbs but I was not making too much headway. Then at almost exactly the one year mark I took off. I went up to 210 and my strength virtually doubled. Our bodies are remarkable if we give them what they need and have some patience.I'm 62 years old and there are still issues but wow I feel better than I could have imagined 5 years ago.
@@jamesisaacson6379 Nope...they contain too much "natural" sugar. If you must eat fruit...go for avocado or a few blackberries or raspberries...much better for glycemic control . Bananas are really bad and so is watermelon(which I LOVE).
I’m the ONE! I did keto in 2020 and lost 75 lbs. January 2023 I’ve gained back 50 lbs, so I went Carnivore. And, I’m concentrating on why the weight isn’t coming off like it did in 2020? But, this video has changed the way I look at the scale. I’m going to focus on the meat and how I feel. Thank you so much for this video. This message was meant for me.❤️🙏
I did the same thing in 2021 on keto from jan to september lost 50lbs. Then something started a binge, and for the next 15 months, i was just eating everything in sight. Junk food, fast food, eating out constantly, not making home cooked meals. I basically became a recluse, managing to get to work but not much else. Didn't even have the energy or motivation to meet up with friends. Plus, I gained those 50lbs back. Now, as of jan1st, 2023, I've been carnivore. Down 13lbs and am struggling as to why it's taking longer this time around (since i easily lost 20 lbs in my first month on keto).So i keep holding to the premise that my body is doing what it needs to do to regain health before it gives up the weight. I've been tweaking little things, too. Eating less didn't seem to work. Eating more high fat carnivore is finally starting to move the scale. I've just incorporated eating butter straight from the fridge, and oh man, does it ever offer a layer of satiety. What i have noticed is a significant difference in my body shape. My butt is slimming down, and my waist and hips have developed a really nice curvyness to them. And my mood throughout the day never wavers now. I'm not struggling to concentrate and process information through layers of brain fog anymore. I'm not a bear in the morning. I wake up happy, well rested and bounding with energy. The non-scale victories are coming fast and furious, and it's just a matter of time before the scale reflects how i feel. Just carry on and don't get discouraged. I wish everyone a very successful journey!!! And for the women out there, there is a mantra that i say to myself daily. (Hope i don't offend anyone cause it's a bit crude, hence the acronym). "Come on girl, CTO" (Chin up, Tits out, Onward)😉
Your story sounds very similar to mine! I'm eating "BB&E" Beef, Butter, Bacon & Eggs with Berry's tribe for February. Also, continuing to OMAD half the week & adding in 24 hr fasting. I'm hoping that removing cheese, and cream & being zero-carb will be the answer to letting go of more fat.
Carnivore is a bigger change than keto. It takes a while for the body to become accustomed to it. It’s not a quick weight loss diet. I came from 3 years of strict
For me, and I'm 70, in the beginning with low carb/keto, 5 years ago I was losing about 5lbs a week. I didn't have scales at home but once a week I would use the scales at the grocery store. Friends and neighbors saw my weight lose and asked if I was working out, I said NO! BUT I was so much more active! I felt great! I remember the 1st early summer I would always trim and pick up about 300 ft line of hollies and I would be so sore the next day. Then after low carb/keto I did that and I was shocked, I had no soreness the next day! That inspired me to do more. Then I went full carnivore about 6 months ago and OMG it's a different level of feeling great and being stronger!!! Kelly, Amber and Dr Berry was my inspiration to even try carnivore. THANK YOU soooo much Kelly! I invite and encourage people I know to just listen to your story. It's like finding gold if you'll just do a little "panning" It will pay off! Love ya Mrs Hogan!
"Everything is difficult before it is easy." ~Italian Proverb This was great!!! I began Pilates 4 years ago and I'm in the best shape of my life. Totally changed my body composition. AND....I'm 90% carnivore. 60 years old and I feel terrific.
As I've gotten older I've realized I just can't do extreme exercise anymore. My heart and my knees won't let me. But bouncing on mini trampoline for 10 minutes a day, or walking for a mile, or using my 3lb weights for a few arm exercises is doable. I don't even exercise everyday, but 3-5x a week has made a HUGE difference.
Wish I knew this when I was in my prime. At 68 I’m lucky to have found you and I am trying to get healthier. Getting old is difficult if your body starts breaking down. Thank you for the tips and information. I started because I was diagnosed with a fatty liver and had gallbladder problems.
Great video. If gaining muscle and loosing weight is your goal. A tape measure is better than a scale and Affordable for everyone. Even a piece of string marked w your progress. I've weighed 180 and been a size 16 and a sz 12 at the same weight.
Living in a rural area, gyms are inaccessible and (even if I could spend the time and gas to get there) far too expensive for me. We need more folks in this space who talk about how to do this stuff without a gym
This was really impactful for me. I am that person who has every excuse under the sun to not exercise. I am carnivore and have no difficulty whatsoever with sticking to it. But I am also a couch potato. I think that this tremendous discussion has finally caused something to click in my brain. I hope I am going to be able to implement what I learnt. Thank you both very much for your passion and knowledge!
I read the book 'atomic habits', it helped me create a habit of working out every day. By incorporating it into my morning routine. I do weights for 10-15 minutes a day. Using an app (Strong) to track it. 15 minutes doesn't seem like much but it was more important for me to create the habit that I will easily stick to
Hey guys, I just discovered the kettle bells and wow what a workout and I haven’t been able to exercise for a couple years because I have been so ill . SINCE going carnivore I have more strength and 48 yrs old. Just a few minutes a day and I have gained so much muscle. It’s incredible I’m walking straighter sitting up better and able to get up and down quickly off the chairs off of the bed wherever
Dear Kelly and Coach Bronson, I needed to hear you both this morning. I started Keto 3 1/2 years ago with 60 lbs gone, off RA medications, and other metabolic health positives happened within that 1st year. Then, I stalled completely even though I was cutting back on total carbohydrates and working out. Last year, I dialed my carb knob down to ketovore. I was in maintenance with no bad lab markers. The ones Dr. Berry mentions in his book. Then, I gained 10lb suddenly this winter within months. I don't eat anything that has a label on it & I haven't even eaten out in over 2 years. I gave up all alcohol 4 months ago too. I'm now a carnivore with no dairy, no cheats & doing BBB&E in Dr. Berry's tribe. The scale still won't budge at all & my clothes are fitting tighter. I also OMAD & enjoy a 24-hour fast twice a week. I do eat lots of delicious animal fat & meat until satiety in a small 4-hour window. I did a 72-hour fast in January to reset my body. l will not give up & will reach my goals for optimal metabolic health. Thank you for your encouragement & knowledge to help so many humans. Peace & Love
Hi Christine. Are you eating enough calories a day? Maybe you could try eating two or three times a day. Sometimes our bodies hold into fat if it thinks there's a famine. Maybe have a break from fasting. There's a gentle exercise that you can do called Oxycise. It's special deep breathing. It seems like it wouldn't work, but people get good results. I hope you have a great day. 💕
Are you taking any supplements like inositol or NAC? Just wondering because both tend to contain glycerine/glycerol and they stalled my weight loss until I made the connection and stopped. It can be something seemingly small that does it. I also cut back on salt like Bella and a few others because it made me eat more due to hyperpalatability of the food. Hope things get moving for you again. All the best. ✌
@@AnnabellaRedwood Thank you for taking the time to respond. I do try to eat according to my hunger signals & satiety like Dr. Berry teaches. I'll look up this breathing technique. I do the box breathing technique when I'm stressed & that helps. Mostly, I have a chill personality. Thank you again for chiming into my rant.
@Terri_2.0 Thank you for thinking of some ideas for me. I do take D3 from wild harvest lichen, K-2 "mk4 &7" & Zinc. I don't take these daily & the K-2 does have glycerin listed. I take the D-3 & K-2 on days when the weather is bad & zinc at night. Before my Keto lifestyle, my D3 was low in the teens. Now, It's between 60-100. I can remove these & see if I find any difference. Anyways, I do Redmond salt my food to taste & I'm not an overeater. I do use Dr.Berry's mineral drops on days when I'm more active & no other electrolytes. I don't drink or eat any natural, artificial flavors &/or packaged foods. I make my own smoked bacon too. Thank you for sharing your story & ideas.
This video has inspired me! I used to train with weights and loved it. Back in the day I could bench my weight. Now, I'm overweight, very far from being fit and have mobility issues and I think I was waiting for my health to improve before adding back exercise. To answer your question, that's the thing I was not yet ready to do even though I knew it would improve my health. But thinking about, "What am I ready, willing, and able to do," is a fantastic starting point. I've made a list and am adding exercise to my commitments.
Thank you for having this man on. I've just started doing weights and 5 minute work out's. I have osteoarthritis in my knees so I started because physical therapist said get your butt muscles in shape and it will help your knees! I know my face said whatttt? But I listened and started looking up exercises for my butt. Lol that's what started it now I'm lifting light weights for the arms doing easy workouts for my body and if I get to sore in pain I take a cupple days off and get back at it. I'm eating ketovore/ carnivore and I have seen a bit of definition in my arms in only a few weeks💃🏋️♀️🤸♀️I'm turning 65 its possible. 🤠
'Knees over toes guy' basic level helped me enormously. I can now do the glute exercises that were literally a step too far. I could not do a step up onto a 2 inch plate without knee pain 6 months ago. Now I can do gentle lunges with support! Small steps and good form are the way to go. My knees are so much stronger but I went really slowly.
Hi Kelly and Coach Bronson. So glad you made this video together. Now a 2 plus year carnivore, I don’t have cravings or slip ups, but I did in the past and find that those slip ups actually helped convince me of the power of carnivore because I didn’t feel well after going off plan. Adding morning calisthenics ( in a fasted state) and mostly body weight resistance training gives me lots of energy for the day ahead. Exercise helps energize the body.
I have watched A LOT of nutrition videos and these days, they are all carnivore. I watch one nearly daily while I am cleaning, walking, driving, or cooking, but this has gotta be one of most inspiring ones I have seen! It was funny, too! I litteraly laughed out loud multiple times while walking through the park! I have definitely been putting too much emphasis on the scale and I didn't realize how the tunnel vision on that one number has really been messing with me. I mean, I should have realized it, but I needed to hear it and you two put it beautifully. Thank you! I'm going to box up my scale and closet it TODAY. I used to love exercise, but lack of progress drove me further and further from it and the was due to my IMPROPER human diet that I thought was the best thing for my body. I'm so grateful to have found out about and that I embraced carnivore about 10 months ago. Now, I need to stop worrying about the scale because I have years of misinformation for my body to undo. Looking forward to getting back to where I was back then and then finally progressing beyond it!!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been doing a meat-heavy keto-ish diet now for 1 year. I have a lot of weight to lose and have a problem with simply walking. I have lost 30 lbs and I see a lot of good changes in my body, but I want to walk without pain. I keep saying I will exercise when I lose enough weight. Now I realize that I need to do something now. I'm going to start with just walking around the house and keep building on that. Thank you for the motivation to get up and make it happen.
This is so good. I’ve been discouraged bc I quit losing and started gaining on carnivore. But historically I gain a few this time of year anyway…no matter the diet. I still have plenty to lose, but my body is refusing to release it. But I am feeling better. Sleeping better, less pains, not hungry, steady blood sugar, better cholesterol numbers, vit D improving, etc. etc. my quality of life is better for sure. It’s good to focus on these things.
I spent 11 months on Carnivore. I went from 360lbs to .......360lbs. I hovered between 350-360 the whole time. I went OMAD, lost my sweet tooth and loved not being hungry. My blood sugar would not come down and my A1C actually went up. I'm off carnivore right now but I am getting back on it concentrating on more fat intake. Looking at Dr. Boz's program.
I didn't lose weight on keto with IF so changed to OMAD...did a bit better, then went to carnivore and didn't lose weight so went to carnivore OMAD ADF (alternate day fasting) and for the past 2 months I am losing 2 pounds a week, feeling great. Absolutely NOTHING you eat will lose weight for you, it's what you don't eat. I eat carnivore 1 meal every 48 hours. It's the only eating plan that is working for me and I'm sticking with it. I drink lots of water, take my electrolytes and supplements.
All diabetics are deficient in vitamin B1. B1 is necessary for getting all energy into the cells (sugars, fats and proteins). Magnesium, a Bcomplex, and adequate choline is necessary to utilize B1. You probably have a functional deficiency in B1 Research mega dosing vitamin B1 and benfotiamine (fat soluble form of B1).
I am type 1 diabetic and the meat still kept my blood sugar up, so I still needed the insulin (gluconeogenesis) ….so I knew I had insulin resistance. It sounds like you had/have type 2 diabetes, so your cells don’t know how to control your own bloodsugar. If it is out of balance already it will be tough to get back. You definitely need to get that bloodsugar down with insulin so that your body isn’t so stressed out trying to deal with it floating around your body. When this happens, other disease continues because your body can’t even keep up with basic bloodsugar to do other important tasks.
What change am I pretty sure will make a positive difference in my life? Cutting out the dairy and the coconut cream. I’m on day 12 of no sweeteners. I never thought I could do THAT. So what else can I do?? Kelly you’ve inspired me for years now and I knew I needed to stop the sweeteners after reading your story. It’s finally clicking now. Signed up for your March group class; see you then. Thank you for your amazing, inspiring, down-to-earth example.
Luckily for me the number on the scale doesn't cause me stress. It's just information to me. I've been carnivore for a year and a half, and I was keto seven months prior to that, and a couple of months into keto I bought a smart scale, and since the day I got it I haven't missed a single day weighing myself. It's like a comforting routine to me now. I get up, use the restroom, brush my teeth, brush my hair, wash my face, then I go weigh, then get dressed. I've not lost near as much as I need to, and there have been periods of weight gain when eating too much dairy or eating off plan, and a long plateau, but the scale is never the reason for me eating off plan, nor do the numbers make me think of quitting carnivore. The number have encouraged me to give up dairy (except butter ... you can take my butter out of my cold, dead hands, lol) and sweetener. I'm doing far better avoiding dairy than I am avoiding sweetener. I'm having a lot more trouble with sweetener. But I'll get there.
I use the scale twice a week and it helps keep me on track and is comforting, too. I threw it away once because so many said they had done it and I gained a lot of weight. Never again. We have to listen to ourselves above all. We can be guided by other´s choices and even give them a try, but ultimately, we know best if we stop and reflect.
For me, the weight is falling very slowly, but I do historical fencing and my opponents, who were out of range, are now within hitting distance, this surprised them (and me).
I tuned in today to see what you were up to so I could find something to try. Shoot wouldn't you know it would be exercise! So I did my upper body with my hand weights while I watched and think I will go do my stationary bike now for a while...Overcoming my own resistance is the hardest part!
I so appreciate this video. I am going to start Daily recording my non-scale victories!!! I love the personal values comment! I wouldn't cheat on my mate....so don't cheat on myself! Powerful!! Starting from where I am physically...at age 70....I will set and achieve my own small daily victories. Thank you Both for your insights. Bless you for the work you do to help others!
I really enjoyed this interview, Coach Bronson and Kelly! I love and appreciate the recognition Coach Bronson brings to menopausal women and older people in general. Please have Coach Bronson's mom, maybe interview her and Coach Bronson together with you. As for answering your question, for me, more intentional movement. I know from previous experience, intentional movement EVERY DAY in addition to 3x/wk gym class along with my dogs sniffaries, will help my mood that much more. I just have to do it. Thanks for the interview!
I think cutting out my diet pop would improve my health but I'm just not there yet. Thanks for this video it was great encouragement and very informative 😊❤
I'm really grateful for this, thank you. I just signed up for your April group sessions because I'm so needing help right now. This video is calming my nerves expressly though: I'm an autistic female and have comorbidities that left me bedridden for nearly two years - I can attest to the atrophy leading to spreading of weight. I'm finally healing from the health issues but one that is rough is the anxiety and body dysmorphia - I'm up a good 25lbs from my comfortable weight and this morning I'm having a small meltdown due to having been keto/carnivore/lion for nearly a year and losing little to no weight. I've had an unhealthy relationship with food in the past, and trying to fast for Lent (24-72hrs with no losses, not that that was the goal, it was all about walking with Christ, but that lack of movement scared me) turned out to be a bad idea on my mental health. I'm rebounding and refitting my thoughts now - and while I want to get fit and feel like myself again (even at my healthiest mentally, I have a certain mental image and when I am outside of that for too long it is terribly hard for me to get over. It's a lot easier, and healthier, to just stay in my healthy target weight), I really don't want my weight/food journey to be such an idol. I'm excited to learn what I'm lacking knowledge-wise in order to gain back the right amount of power that I lost when my health got robbed. For anyone else in a similar boat, I'm praying for you. God has a great plan for us all and we can't lose sight of who we are to Him - He sees straight to our hearts, and loves us already...that is more than enough for me. Prayers for literally anyone reading this right now! You're loved and special beyond measure!
I’m willing, able, nearly ready… I’m going to give up alcohol during lent and I want to actually stop forever. I see it doesn’t serve me in any way, even tho it’s not at a level that most people would call a problem. It’s not in my value system anymore. The contradiction between not-valuing it, but sometimes doing it, bothers me. Thanks for putting words to things we all experience! Carnivore nearly 5 years, but clearly not “pure”!
I initially gave up alcohol because it would always cause carb cravings. Now, I no longer drink simply because I know my body doesn´t need it and I have more fun just having sparkling water than I ever had with a couple of drinks. #AbstinenceIsFreedom
Great talk. Thank you both! Carnivore has reduced inflammation and arthritis in my body so that I am able to exercise pain free...and I am! I am so grateful I can again. Exercise makes me feel great.
Love this way of shifting the mindset to overall health. I've just added in exercise beyond walking (now lifting and some heart pumping cardio). I feel so much better. I'm so glad for the positive reinforcement. I'll be sharing this video.
After a few month on and off carnivore and giving birth, I went full carnivore two weeks ago. The idea of exercice was tickling me and I just tried at the park with my kids. Felt awesome doing some push ups and squats ! My muscle pains are wonderful, I feel alive :)
Loved this video! The conversation made me rethink some things. My shoulder surgery is over so now I'm ready to get out there and walk moving my arms. I can also get out in the morning sun to get much needed vitamin D.
Great video. I’m new to carnivore. On week 4 now. I’ve lost just a couple pounds but I mentally feel great and I have more energy. I needed this video. I have started exercising more now that it’s nice outside.
50 days today, meat. one bowling ball down 15lbs. still carrying around 4 more bowling balls but at 75yr. are not able to exercise more, yet. I do try to walk my 2 acre property 1-3 times daily, not all at once, yet. just introduced my neighbor to you Kelly, she is really having it ruff, she is wanting to give it a go, she lost some weight years ago on Atkins, but got sick of meat after 2 wks. I guess she is around 260, can not hardly walk, with 2 canes. I pray she will be encouraged by you, as much as I am. thanks Kelly. it is 12 f this morning to cold but may be able to get out later today, if it hits 35f. 😎😎👍👍🥩🥩🥓🥓🍤🍤🧀🧀🧈🧈🍗🍗
I can attest to several things regarding carnivore. 2 months before my 60th birthday, I started eating a "carnivorish" diet. Over the course of several months I gradually dropped the pepper sauces, the avocado, olives, MCT oil, coconut cream, and generally started eating only meat. This lasted for about 5 months, but something just wasn't working properly. My energy levels were whacked out. I had to have a CT scan as part of a cancer screening process I undergo every couple years. The CT scan was very thorough in looking at my urinary system including my liver. It turns out i had some liver trauma in the past farther back(12-15 years ago), and again more recent times (likely 3 to 6 years ago) and each of those times are directly correlated to a lot of red wine drinking. I now have some cirrhosis and fibrosis of the liver. I had no idea. My blood work never seemed to indicate this, but if I look at all the issues I have suffered from for most of these years despite an excellent whole food diet, they all relate to liver function issues. This is an incredible find. Meat is good for a liver, but it takes a lot of liver energy and health to manage the hard work of cleansing proteins from meat. I have read that other foods are more easily digested while also producing healing therapy for the liver. So, as a result, I have added the following. Blueberries. Let's address this right off. Many people say it's just a sugar addiction. No, it is not. I have been very fine without sugar. Blueberries are incredibly healthy with lots of chemicals that help and support immune systems and the liver. I eat about a 1/2 cup per day, plain. Avocado. .Avocado has a 70% fat profile full of healthy fats which are easily digested by the liver. This helps me offset the zero dairy issue I added as well. I need the fat. These also are very helpful to liver function according to virtually all references on Google. The result has been an incredible and very pleasing digestive system function with zero pain at the exit. (For those of you who have ever been constipated or suffered from issues related to that). Walnuts. While much hullabaloo has been stated about the unbalance between omega 3 and 6 in walnuts, I'll risk it because according to virtually all resources these are especially good for liver function. So far, this has been very positive and are another source of fat to trace dairy with. Olives. Olives are, like avocado, a lot of fat and some fiber, plus sodium. Sodium is highly prized for carnivores as we hardly get enough even salting meats as much as we do. Olives are listed as healthy for the liver, and they provide me another alternate source of healthy fats. Why I quit dairy. OMGosh. I love dairy cream!!! I miss it every day, however, it was destroying my face. Eczema caused by dairy haunted me every day! So, I had to face this reality and let it go. I relied on dairy for enough fat. I eat a lot of meat, but can it afford to eat really expensive Ribeyes everyday. I eat a lot of Tri-Tip. I am the Tri-Tip king and cook it to perfection. I never trim the fats and usually buy it with the fat cap on. It's the gold in the pan everyone overlooks, and it's cheaper!!! 🤣 I continue to eat meat as the boulder on my plate. But, I have added these other foods to share in my necessary food intake, looking to heal a slightly disabled liver, and thrive in the years to come. At 60 I lift weights. A habit I started at 49.5. I lift weights as often as possible, but recently only about once a week. I lift heavy as I can, and push myself. I feel I look really great for 60, so far. My goal was beach body by June! 🤣🤣🤣🌊
I resonate with your Additions to this regime-- because I have found my liver & kidneys are less taxed this way. You are spitting truth! And you've put it to the test. Hope to be like you soon when it comes to lifting.
Nice informative post as to the reasons for your tweaks. Very helpful. I have been moving in the same direction. Sleep has been a problem for me since the menopause; I started learning to nose breath a year ago. Last night I mouth taped for the first time in many months. I slept through for a nice 8 hrs and the tape was still there! I love cream but have noticed it is a problem. Carnivore full time and weight training since April 22. Hoping my hyperinsulenimia (4times normal level) is reducing.
I’m so discouraged because I lost 55 pounds and have gained back over 20. I only lost weight because I was fasting every other day. Then I fell off the carnivore wagon, stopped exercising and stopped fasting and even eating once a day I literally gain a pound a day. My weight just keeps going up and I hate it. I’m so depressed, I’m terrified of getting fat again. I’m terrified of undoing all the hard work I put in. I felt so good and now I feel defeated mentally and physically, like my body just wants to be overweight. Idk what to do other than starve myself
My husband has been overweight for 30 some years. He’s been on the carnivore diet for about 7 months but is stuck and his gut won’t come off. He’s now given up all dairy but butter. Dr Berry said there are people who gain weight eating dairy and said he is one of them
If dairys no good for hubby just use tallow as your butter. I melt tallow and fat together for my hubby and I just sprinkle a bit of salt on my tallow and it works well. Tastes great.. Our grandparents ate fat way back before ansell keys etc changed diets..Well into the 6th year and living the dream...plaster a smile on your face and tell yourself you've got this.. ( : hi from New Zealand.
Thank you for this! I just turned 70 and have been doing very low carb, mostly carnivore for almost 2 years. I dropped over 50 lbs but started having a heart issue in October, and the cardiologist put me on an anticoagulant. In 10 days I gained 10 lbs. I had other side effects but not the normal ones so they told me to stop taking it. I believe I have a reaction to SLS which is an excipient used to help make tablets. (the other big brand also has it). It is almost 4 months later and I still have not gotten rid of those 10 lbs. I needed to hear all of this because although I am very strong and more healthy than almost all of my neighbors in my community, and my dog and I make the rounds several times a day, it is time for me to take a look at a new gym that just opened. I looked at the scale but the price made me want to cry. If I get a decent tax refun it may be able to be done.
Adapting a carnivore lifestyle not only allowed me to realize a significant weight loss with minimal exercise, it also inspired a couple of Eureka! moments, as well: 1. Perhaps one day develop a new Carnivore friendly food product, specifically refined ghee in an aerosol container, with a brand name of "Ghee Whiz") and; 2. Possibly develop a line of extremely weighted metal cutlery to make the dining process an actual part of one's excercise regimen.
The pictures of the cross fit activities look exactly the activities I do every day living on a sailboat. Never could see a reason to go to a gym for exercise. I live on a sailboat to prevent losing my health. I am 77 and look a little older than Kelly and the Coach.
The thing that has helped me with my health the most is Music and Dance. Even singing helps with Breathwork, stress, and mood so you can get into An active state and reduce pain. Even if I'm stuck in a chair from pain I can still move my body and improve mood and mental health.
So you had to bring up people over 60 falling apart. That's ME! I started careless Keto 4 yrs ago and have lost weight and feel tons better. But now everything is sagging and aching and here I am watching you guys. I 68 and can't afford a gym but you've already given me lots of inspiration and as soon as we're done here I'm heading over to Coach Bronson's site to meet his mom :)
@@coach.bronson Oh of course not - I'm honored! Actually I was afraid I'd get bashed for using a term not sanctioned by the keto police, haha My definition of "careless" is not counting macros or ratios and occasionally eating something like cherries off my tree last summer :)
There’s a myth out there that says we don’t have to exercise on a keto/carnivore diet. Exercise is very important. I agree with Coach Bronson that it’s 50/50 nutrition and exercise. That has been my personal experience.
I´ve only ever heard that exercise isn´t necessary for weight loss on a keto/carnivore diet. I had a damaged Achilles Tendon when I first started and had trouble even walking, so I couldn´t exercise. I still lost over 200 lbs and have kept it off, but now that the tendon is healed, I enjoy walking/hiking and light weights a few times a week.
This interview spoke to me. I was keto almost 3 yrs then switched to ketovore with higher fat because I’m 51 and started getting the blues and just figured I’m heading into pre-menopausal and heard higher fat might help. I gained 7 pounds and was so 😡 but my feeling blue has decreased. So I really had to dig deep and is a number on the scale more important or me feeling happy again? I’ll take the happier me. Also I do exercise 3 days a week and lift heavy things so bone density and muscle gain could be why I’ve gained.
I am 6 weeks carnivore. I don’t weigh every day, but when I do, I get a morning weight and a night weight. I fluctuate 2 pounds between morning and night. Every time I weigh it’s only 2 pounds. I started at 188 and down to 177. I don’t fret on fluctuations. I’m working on eating enough and better sleep. Those two are big on how I feel and function for the day. :)
The most amazing thing I take from this video is about Bronson's mom. My mom is suffering several healthy issues, and I'm crazy to find out how to help her. Unfortunately, I can't just go to her right now and say: start eating only meat. But, what I will start doing right now is eating only meat, take a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, a full blood test and stick to carnivore diet 'till the end of the year, take all the tests again and compare the results. It will be to discuss with my mom's doctor and try to implement this diet to herself. I truly believe that this is the diet she needs to get rid with all her healthy issues and I will put my best on it. Thank you, Kelly and Coach Bronson for this amazing chat.
My husband and I quit drinking two weeks ago....daily drinkers. We were keto...kinda haha...and went carnivore about 6 days ago.....the results so far are crazy!!! And I was a four year vegan til spring 2022 lol. Trying it all!
That would be me. 100% carnivore since January 2, 2023. I initially lost 7 pounds. Stopped losing ever since. But, because I feel so good I am motivated to continue eating this way.
What an awesome conversation! I LOVE the idea of doing the hard & challenging things until those things become less hard and easier to do! I need more of that in my life. What a gem! And thank you for the shout out in here! 🙏 I love both of you guys! Two of my favorites right here! ♥️♥️
Carnivore 1 month in. I am a bodybuilder, I eat the same amount of calories on carnivore as I did previously as an omnivore. I lost 7lb and this forever changed my outlook on calories in calories out. I'm assuming I was mildly insulin resistant or had some sort of dysfunction in my body while being omnivore regardless of the fact that I was exercising. I felt pretty under the weather on carnivore for the first 2 weeks, but I bumped up the calories and I still continued to lose weight while feeling amazing. I usually sleep around 4 hours before waking up to go pee, now I wake up to pee after 5-6 hours.
Hey Kelly, that was a very inspiring video thank you. It's hard for me to exercise but I can do bits n pieces and then I know I'll be able to increase that when I can - the main thing is to start somewhere! Keep up the good work & thank you for all your motivation & empathy! Big love & hugs to you & your team 🥰🤗💐🌻🥩😆
I've been struggling with my weight and health over the past several years. I've tried carnivore / keto multiple times, but got frustrated when I didn't lose weight. So I'm back on keto / mostly carnivore. This time, I'm using my rowing machine first thing every morning. Hearing you two talk about the importance of mindset has made me realize I've self-sabotaged by weighing myself, rather than simply enjoying my state of health and trusting the process.
I believe fasting is the key to weight lose, I have been on the carnivore diet foralmost 3 months and lost 25 lbs but it didn’t happen to I fasted 23 hours, I love to hear you and all you have to say that really helped thank you so much.
This was such great information! I have been doing well on mostly ketovore and absolutely fell off the wagon this weekend.....so dumb!! I have, however, started taking a couple of classes at the gym and am loving it. I will be back at my carnivore/ketovore on Monday. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you so very much for sharing all that you learn and your changes. Kelly, I do remember when you didn't work out. Again, thank you. We all live and learn
Thx SO much for this! Been "threatening" to get serious w/ weight-bearing workout, but felt like I should hold off lil longer due to cortisol issue. But, this has given me clarity & encouraged me to get it on! God bless!
I was doing carnivore & intermittent fasting. Ifel like a million dollars. I added weight training. I felt like 10 million dollars. It was that dramatic. Insulin resistance was getting less but the insulin dependence completely vanished with the weight training.
Kelly, I've watched your video's for a couple of years now. You are amazing in showing us what's possible and your gift of message in helping others do the same. I have kind of a different situation going on and could really use your suggestions. I'm 60ish, always been heavy (but very strong and able to move just fine) Then the wheels fell off when I had a pulmonary embolism, got on oxygen therapy, was put on Warfarin and told to take it easy and recover. Well, that put me in scared to death mode, (and what do I do when I stress....EAT) mode, the meds I take make me feel so bloated, fat, ugh. Here's the thing, Add "C" into the mix with nobody doing anything for 3 years now, I am COMPLETELY DECONDITIONED and I can barely move around the house. I can stand for 4 minutes, but then have to sit down. I can walk around my house as long as I know where the chairs are when I need to sit. It's like being in prison. I've tried exercising in my chair, I've tried adding more steps walking in place, yet it seems like I'm not making any headway. Each day I strive and I'm not going anywhere. Oh, I'm also doing keto/carnivore, but not losing hardly anything lately (but I did lose 50 pounds over 6 months). How in the heck can I help myself get stronger?? I feel like I'm missing a simple piece of this puzzle but I sure haven't been able to figure it out. Thank you so much..... and thanks to anyone who reads this and can offer advice.....
Sounds like you're doing great but will just have to keep at those few minutes of exercise to build up more stamina. Just like you didn't get that weak overnight, you won't get back into better shape overnight either. Your body went through a lot with the clots and recovery. Maybe if you had a place for swimming or water aerobics, it might help you enjoy longer times of exercise. Prayers for your strength and stamina to build back up. Keep up the good work!
Some people are not physically able to exercise. Yes, it can happen in time but I don't think they should be discouraged from *just* doing the nutrition approach first and then adding in exercise when they can. Just wanted to say - don't wait to start if you can't exercise just yet - just get going on nutrition first!
10 months carnivore, 60% better, 35 lbs lost with 20 + more to go and I frankly am happy with where I am. however my chronic fatigue and psoriasis has not gone away. I just watched a Judy Cho video on CIRS and I took a vision test she recommended. Looks like a strong possibility I have that. So working out is beyond my ability right now. I'm look forward to feeling like working out again...
I'm a big believer in Bronson's Essential movements. And I am reminded just how essential they are every time I squat down to retrieve something out of the bottom cabinet! 😅 Great interview!
This was such a great interview! I appreciate you guys sharing how important it is to use both diet and exercise for optimum quality of life. I've always had the mindset of weight loss happens in the kitchen and while exercise is good, what you eat should be the focus. I loved that Coach Bronson said it was 50/50!!! Thanks to both of you! I need to get working on some strength training!
I'm a 65 yo Aussie male, have always been on the thin side. In 2000 I was in a near fatal car crash with broken bones, ruptured spleen and TBI. I made a good recovery - surprised the doctors who told family members I wasn't expected to live through the night. However, around 4 - 5 years later I started to develop a digestive disorder, suffering severe bloating, abdominal pain and great difficulty passing gas or anything for that matter. I saw many doctors, specialists, nutritionists who told me to change my diet and eat lots of fiber etc etc. So I ate more wholesome cereals and vegetables and my pain only got much worse. In fact, I got so bad recently I believed I was going to die - I even prayed I would die because my life has been completely destroyed - I haven't been able to do anything except staying home, cradling my painful stomach and aching limbs. My new doctor I found since moving interstate to be with my sister said he would get to the bottom of it. All he did was prescribe different pills to try get my intestinal muscles working as food was extremely slow moving. Nothing worked, and so he has referred me to a surgeon with the prospect of a hemicolectomy!
I've never been in a darker place in my life as this. Last week, I was praying for God to help me, to show me a way out of this hell. Suddenly this channel popped up, talking about the carnivore diet. I was watching one of the episodes explaining how it all worked. I found other videos explaining the science behind it all and guess what? I have been eating nothing but meat, fish and eggs the past 4 days and my bloating has stopped! My bowels are slowly starting to work again after 15 years of constipation and gallons and gallons of Movicol and laxatives! I've also been drinking ginger and garlic tea because I've been feeling nauseous since a recent colonoscopy where they removed 5 polyps. The past three mornings have been the first in many months waking up without stomach cramps... My journey continues with a bright light at the end of the tunnel!! Thank YOU!
God Bless you blessings from Pennsylvania 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Happy for you! Continued blessings!
So happy for you William, that’s awesome! All the best for your new journey!
Thank you for sharing this It is uplifting. All the best - Life is so good
I believe the carnivore diet will work for you, William, but you might want to also look into the GAPS diet. The two can be combined together, so no need to go off carnivore, but it sounds like your gut biome has been through hell so you might want to give it a little extra help with some tips from the GAPS protocol.
I believe it's perfectly okay telling people you can lose weight without exercising. A LOT of people would not even start if they had to exercise AND change their diet at the same time. People get to carnivore because they have health issues they can't resolve. They feel bad and exercise is just not something they can do at the same time. I think the exercise will follow naturally later as you begin to feel better.
Happened to me. Too weak at first to exercise. Now I’m able❤
Only if you want to. This man is just trying to push his way of life onto others.
This is extremely true. I wasn't looking to lose weight, and I was never so debilitated that I couldn't do occasional exercise like hiking (unless I was having a joint pain flare-up), but the idea of exercising and changing my diet at the same time never even crossed my mind. I went carnivore in September 2022 and by November I felt so amazing that I started seriously exercising for the first time in almost a decade. It wasn't even on my radar at the start! I just wanted to stop feeling so sick all the time.. joint pain, fatigue, muscle weakness, unstable blood sugar, severely disordered mood, ADHD, poor sleep, a headache that I had for literally three years straight with no reprieve, etc... there was just no way I was in a position to be stressing my body further. I think it's better to tell people they should try the diet and to focus on how they feel not what they weigh, and often it seems, they'll find the energy and motivation to begin exercising after their body starts to heal.
Well said SW.
I was too weak and having such bad joint pain, exercise wasn’t even an option. In the third week of carnivore that all changed. Now I’m excited to workout because I actually CAN. The weight was coming off regardless but I knew I’d feel even better if I could also get in better shape.
My 'why' is what keeps me on track when I think about straying. NO more cane, NO more wheelchair, and I completed a 3MILE hike down a mountain, and back up to the car! It's true - NOTHING tastes as good as healthy feels!!
100% PURE INSPIRATION!!!! WOW!!!
Well done !
What a great statement- and I quote, “nothing taste as good as healthy feels ”. Amen!
Two of my favorites on the same screen. I'm 9 months in. I started carnivore because I heard it could reduce arthritis pain. I couldn't stand for more than 2 minutes without severe pain. Last week I came in just under 15 miles on my walk.
How are you?!
@@coach.bronson I'm fantastic. Down 134 pounds in 9 months. Walking every day. Doing body weight exercises every other day. A laundry list of health problems including T2D gone.
Thank you for sharing, God bless you
@@SemiRetiredBob 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s amazing to read! So happy for you. I wish my loved ones would give it a go. I’ll keep being a good example for them, that’s all I can do now.
My biggest regret is I never realized the benefits of eliminating cheese until I finally did it. Weight fell right off, bloating dropped and most importantly stomach issues cleared up
same! I thought dairy was fine for me even raw milk but once I ditched the dairy completely apart from ghee I felt better!
Nice. I will try that too. I have been thinking about it for years
Also, can you tell me what the regret in the video is? I watched 80% of it and have no idea what it is
Thank you for talking about dairy. I feel like no one talks about how some people cannot ingest it, even raw! I so wish I could though!!
@@antikokalis just saying my biggest regret was I didn't catch this sooner. I also regret the fact it's true haha meaning I love cheese and not being able to eat it makes things a lot more difficult
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 Thanks. I got your point. What i don't understand is the title of the video. I watched most of it and didn't see neither of them talking about their biggest regret lol
Watched this today and decided to get moving as best I can. I’m 80 years old have been carnivore for a couple months. Lost 8 lbs right off but am not active due to bad knees and back. I’m trying to get my blood pressure under control, sleep much better. I’m going to try walking in my house more each day, doing so exercise setting down and see if I can loose so more fat. Thanks for the encouragement
Make sure you are eating a lot of animal fat too:).
Go Dot!! 😃🤗👏👏🌻💐🐜🐾🥰
Just move as much as you can: doing house chores counts too. do stretches lying/sitting down on chair/floor. You can do it! Stick to good eating habits and get good sleep. Good luck in your journey: it can be done at any age.
Keep going Dot !!! Blessings from Pennsylvania 🙏🙏🙏
Kelly, I went to Dr. Dunlap when I was 16-32. God led me to you through first Jordan Peterson then his and you popped up on my screen. Been praying for help with stomach issues, celiac disease, bloating Barrett esophagus, constant diarrhea, complex pain syndrome, headaches, fibromyalgia and high anxiety. You are a godsend to me . After a 3rd or 4th endoscopy I have been miserable and started researching for gut issues. I follow JP for other reasons. So this has definitely come from many prayers. I have already started and Wow!! the changes in my stomach is amazing. After 3 days my diarrhea has stopped and gas is gone!! Easy to sleep, easy to rise. God bless you!!!!
Keep going! Believe it or not, it gets even better
wow did Dr Dunlap ever say anything about diet to you?
@@purebloodsunite7489 no, not once, but I wasn't really overweight but had the pain issues,and IBS but the celiac and others had not shown up. Hey, I am so much better every day, it's amazing the quality of life. Everything is changing for the better!!!!
Not sure this will help you but I had similar situations started to get scared. Couldn't believe the improvement once I eliminated cheese. If you haven't I'd be surprised you won't improve more doing so
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 You are probably so right and I appreciate this bc my only weakness is cheese! But I gave it up. I was already GF but now I know so much more. I have been so much better, clear headed,this is amazing. I appreciate your comment.
WAIT WAIT WAIT RECORD SCRATCH HOLD UP
Was that Bronson's SIXTY NINE YEAR OLD mom in the video clip at 28:50???
She looks phenomenal!!! PLEASE have her on for an interview, Kelly!! I want to know everything about that woman.
Day 1 carnivore; I have ME and am around 300lb, I love what was shared, really helpful.
It will happen; believe in you.
I hv me/CFS too and looking for anything that can help me.
@@e.williams13 I’m just over two months in now, and I have lost about 35lbs without exercise. I don’t have any more energy, but I do feel better for the change. I will stick at it until my weight is down and then review to see whether my body is healing. So far the IBS is much better, I’m losing less hair, my finger nails are much stronger, and I don’t smell as much if I don’t have the energy to shower. Every success with your challenges.
I’ve gone for not being able to get out of bed on my own to yesterday I walked 4 miles to the gym and swam a mile 😂 crazy
That's absolutely awesome! I'm SO proud of you!!!! WOW!!!!!
@@myzerocarblife you’ve helped so much thank you x
How amazing!! Congratulations and well done!
boom!
That's amazing. ❤💕🌟🌟
Five years ago it was obvious my health was failing. I started eating carnivore and lost 120lbs and my health improved remarkably. However there was still a big problem. So last winter it culminated with a cancer diagnosis and a big surgery. After that I was 170 lbs, I hadn't been there since I was 14 years old (I'm 6''2"). I never knew how weak I could be. I was like a rag doll. I started moving and trying to get some strength back after 3 months. So I got stronger and got back to about 190 lbs but I was not making too much headway. Then at almost exactly the one year mark I took off. I went up to 210 and my strength virtually doubled. Our bodies are remarkable if we give them what they need and have some patience.I'm 62 years old and there are still issues but wow I feel better than I could have imagined 5 years ago.
I'm absolutely inspired! Thank you, Gordon!!! I'm so happy for you and proud of you!
@@myzerocarblife so you don't eat fruit like mango and apples?
@@jamesisaacson6379 Nope...they contain too much "natural" sugar. If you must eat fruit...go for avocado or a few blackberries or raspberries...much better for glycemic control . Bananas are really bad and so is watermelon(which I LOVE).
I’m the ONE! I did keto in 2020 and lost 75 lbs. January 2023 I’ve gained back 50 lbs, so I went Carnivore. And, I’m concentrating on why the weight isn’t coming off like it did in 2020? But, this video has changed the way I look at the scale. I’m going to focus on the meat and how I feel. Thank you so much for this video. This message was meant for me.❤️🙏
You got this!
I did the same thing in 2021 on keto from jan to september lost 50lbs. Then something started a binge, and for the next 15 months, i was just eating everything in sight. Junk food, fast food, eating out constantly, not making home cooked meals. I basically became a recluse, managing to get to work but not much else. Didn't even have the energy or motivation to meet up with friends. Plus, I gained those 50lbs back. Now, as of jan1st, 2023, I've been carnivore. Down 13lbs and am struggling as to why it's taking longer this time around (since i easily lost 20 lbs in my first month on keto).So i keep holding to the premise that my body is doing what it needs to do to regain health before it gives up the weight. I've been tweaking little things, too. Eating less didn't seem to work. Eating more high fat carnivore is finally starting to move the scale. I've just incorporated eating butter straight from the fridge, and oh man, does it ever offer a layer of satiety. What i have noticed is a significant difference in my body shape. My butt is slimming down, and my waist and hips have developed a really nice curvyness to them. And my mood throughout the day never wavers now. I'm not struggling to concentrate and process information through layers of brain fog anymore. I'm not a bear in the morning. I wake up happy, well rested and bounding with energy. The non-scale victories are coming fast and furious, and it's just a matter of time before the scale reflects how i feel. Just carry on and don't get discouraged. I wish everyone a very successful journey!!! And for the women out there, there is a mantra that i say to myself daily. (Hope i don't offend anyone cause it's a bit crude, hence the acronym). "Come on girl, CTO" (Chin up, Tits out, Onward)😉
Because y’all damaged your metabolism with the flip-flopping of your diet. Healing takes time now.
Your story sounds very similar to mine! I'm eating "BB&E" Beef, Butter, Bacon & Eggs with Berry's tribe for February. Also, continuing to OMAD half the week & adding in 24 hr fasting. I'm hoping that removing cheese, and cream & being zero-carb will be the answer to letting go of more fat.
Carnivore is a bigger change than keto. It takes a while for the body to become accustomed to it. It’s not a quick weight loss diet.
I came from 3 years of strict
For me, and I'm 70, in the beginning with low carb/keto, 5 years ago I was losing about 5lbs a week. I didn't have scales at home but once a week I would use the scales at the grocery store. Friends and neighbors saw my weight lose and asked if I was working out, I said NO! BUT I was so much more active! I felt great! I remember the 1st early summer I would always trim and pick up about 300 ft line of hollies and I would be so sore the next day. Then after low carb/keto I did that and I was shocked, I had no soreness the next day! That inspired me to do more. Then I went full carnivore about 6 months ago and OMG it's a different level of feeling great and being stronger!!! Kelly, Amber and Dr Berry was my inspiration to even try carnivore. THANK YOU soooo much Kelly! I invite and encourage people I know to just listen to your story. It's like finding gold if you'll just do a little "panning" It will pay off! Love ya Mrs Hogan!
"Everything is difficult before it is easy." ~Italian Proverb
This was great!!! I began Pilates 4 years ago and I'm in the best shape of my life. Totally changed my body composition. AND....I'm 90% carnivore. 60 years old and I feel terrific.
Ive been thinking of joining a Pilates class. What have you enjoyed about it?
What kind of Pilates? I’m thinking about this.
I LOVE my reformer! This video has inspired me to use the heavy bands more 😊
As I've gotten older I've realized I just can't do extreme exercise anymore. My heart and my knees won't let me. But bouncing on mini trampoline for 10 minutes a day, or walking for a mile, or using my 3lb weights for a few arm exercises is doable. I don't even exercise everyday, but 3-5x a week has made a HUGE difference.
Wish I knew this when I was in my prime. At 68 I’m lucky to have found you and I am trying to get healthier. Getting old is difficult if your body starts breaking down. Thank you for the tips and information. I started because I was diagnosed with a fatty liver and had gallbladder problems.
Great video.
If gaining muscle and loosing weight is your goal. A tape measure is better than a scale and
Affordable for everyone.
Even a piece of string marked w your progress.
I've weighed 180 and been a size 16 and a sz 12 at the same weight.
Way to go!
Similar to me. I've noticed the same
Living in a rural area, gyms are inaccessible and (even if I could spend the time and gas to get there) far too expensive for me. We need more folks in this space who talk about how to do this stuff without a gym
Just buy a cheep set of dumbdells and do a simple high intensity routine once a week. Thats what i did and I have seen some good results.
This was really impactful for me. I am that person who has every excuse under the sun to not exercise. I am carnivore and have no difficulty whatsoever with sticking to it. But I am also a couch potato. I think that this tremendous discussion has finally caused something to click in my brain. I hope I am going to be able to implement what I learnt. Thank you both very much for your passion and knowledge!
I read the book 'atomic habits', it helped me create a habit of working out every day. By incorporating it into my morning routine. I do weights for 10-15 minutes a day. Using an app (Strong) to track it. 15 minutes doesn't seem like much but it was more important for me to create the habit that I will easily stick to
Hey guys, I just discovered the kettle bells and wow what a workout and I haven’t been able to exercise for a couple years because I have been so ill . SINCE going carnivore I have more strength and 48 yrs old. Just a few minutes a day and I have gained so much muscle. It’s incredible I’m walking straighter sitting up better and able to get up and down quickly off the chairs off of the bed wherever
Love me some kettlebells!
Dear Kelly and Coach Bronson,
I needed to hear you both this morning.
I started Keto 3 1/2 years ago with 60 lbs gone, off RA medications, and other metabolic health positives happened within that 1st year. Then, I stalled completely even though I was cutting back on total carbohydrates and working out. Last year, I dialed my carb knob down to ketovore. I was in maintenance with no bad lab markers. The ones Dr. Berry mentions in his book. Then, I gained 10lb suddenly this winter within months. I don't eat anything that has a label on it & I haven't even eaten out in over 2 years. I gave up all alcohol 4 months ago too. I'm now a carnivore with no dairy, no cheats & doing BBB&E in Dr. Berry's tribe. The scale still won't budge at all & my clothes are fitting tighter. I also OMAD & enjoy a 24-hour fast twice a week. I do eat lots of delicious animal fat & meat until satiety in a small 4-hour window. I did a 72-hour fast in January to reset my body. l will not give up & will reach my goals for optimal metabolic health. Thank you for your encouragement & knowledge to help so many humans. Peace & Love
Hi Christine. Are you eating enough calories a day? Maybe you could try eating two or three times a day. Sometimes our bodies hold into fat if it thinks there's a famine. Maybe have a break from fasting.
There's a gentle exercise that you can do called Oxycise. It's special deep breathing. It seems like it wouldn't work, but people get good results.
I hope you have a great day. 💕
Are you taking any supplements like inositol or NAC? Just wondering because both tend to contain glycerine/glycerol and they stalled my weight loss until I made the connection and stopped. It can be something seemingly small that does it. I also cut back on salt like Bella and a few others because it made me eat more due to hyperpalatability of the food. Hope things get moving for you again. All the best. ✌
@@AnnabellaRedwood Thank you for taking the time to respond. I do try to eat according to my hunger signals & satiety like Dr. Berry teaches. I'll look up this breathing technique. I do the box breathing technique when I'm stressed & that helps. Mostly, I have a chill personality. Thank you again for chiming into my rant.
@Terri_2.0 Thank you for thinking of some ideas for me. I do take D3 from wild harvest lichen, K-2 "mk4 &7" & Zinc. I don't take these daily & the K-2 does have glycerin listed. I take the D-3 & K-2 on days when the weather is bad & zinc at night. Before my Keto lifestyle, my D3 was low in the teens. Now, It's between 60-100. I can remove these & see if I find any difference. Anyways, I do Redmond salt my food to taste & I'm not an overeater. I do use Dr.Berry's mineral drops on days when I'm more active & no other electrolytes. I don't drink or eat any natural, artificial flavors &/or packaged foods. I make my own smoked bacon too. Thank you for sharing your story & ideas.
This video has inspired me! I used to train with weights and loved it. Back in the day I could bench my weight. Now, I'm overweight, very far from being fit and have mobility issues and I think I was waiting for my health to improve before adding back exercise. To answer your question, that's the thing I was not yet ready to do even though I knew it would improve my health. But thinking about, "What am I ready, willing, and able to do," is a fantastic starting point. I've made a list and am adding exercise to my commitments.
Yes!
I just benched my weight +20. At 60. So happy about it!!
Thank you for having this man on. I've just started doing weights and 5 minute work out's. I have osteoarthritis in my knees so I started because physical therapist said get your butt muscles in shape and it will help your knees! I know my face said whatttt? But I listened and started looking up exercises for my butt. Lol that's what started it now I'm lifting light weights for the arms doing easy workouts for my body and if I get to sore in pain I take a cupple days off and get back at it. I'm eating ketovore/ carnivore and I have seen a bit of definition in my arms in only a few weeks💃🏋️♀️🤸♀️I'm turning 65 its possible. 🤠
Hip thrusters and kettlebell swings. Great for glutes safer on knees.
'Knees over toes guy' basic level helped me enormously. I can now do the glute exercises that were literally a step too far. I could not do a step up onto a 2 inch plate without knee pain 6 months ago. Now I can do gentle lunges with support! Small steps and good form are the way to go. My knees are so much stronger but I went really slowly.
Hi Kelly and Coach Bronson. So glad you made this video together. Now a 2 plus year carnivore, I don’t have cravings or slip ups, but I did in the past and find that those slip ups actually helped convince me of the power of carnivore because I didn’t feel well after going off plan. Adding morning calisthenics ( in a fasted state) and mostly body weight resistance training gives me lots of energy for the day ahead. Exercise helps energize the body.
Yes! Yay you!
@@CompostWatcher thank you.
I have watched A LOT of nutrition videos and these days, they are all carnivore. I watch one nearly daily while I am cleaning, walking, driving, or cooking, but this has gotta be one of most inspiring ones I have seen!
It was funny, too! I litteraly laughed out loud multiple times while walking through the park!
I have definitely been putting too much emphasis on the scale and I didn't realize how the tunnel vision on that one number has really been messing with me. I mean, I should have realized it, but I needed to hear it and you two put it beautifully. Thank you!
I'm going to box up my scale and closet it TODAY.
I used to love exercise, but lack of progress drove me further and further from it and the was due to my IMPROPER human diet that I thought was the best thing for my body. I'm so grateful to have found out about and that I embraced carnivore about 10 months ago. Now, I need to stop worrying about the scale because I have years of misinformation for my body to undo.
Looking forward to getting back to where I was back then and then finally progressing beyond it!!
Your belief in your ability to do hard things....wow, thank you both for such powerful guidance and motivation!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been doing a meat-heavy keto-ish diet now for 1 year. I have a lot of weight to lose and have a problem with simply walking. I have lost 30 lbs and I see a lot of good changes in my body, but I want to walk without pain. I keep saying I will exercise when I lose enough weight. Now I realize that I need to do something now. I'm going to start with just walking around the house and keep building on that. Thank you for the motivation to get up and make it happen.
Just walk in place while watching TV! Doesn't have to be fast, just move!
This is so good. I’ve been discouraged bc I quit losing and started gaining on carnivore. But historically I gain a few this time of year anyway…no matter the diet. I still have plenty to lose, but my body is refusing to release it. But I am feeling better. Sleeping better, less pains, not hungry, steady blood sugar, better cholesterol numbers, vit D improving, etc. etc. my quality of life is better for sure. It’s good to focus on these things.
I spent 11 months on Carnivore. I went from 360lbs to .......360lbs.
I hovered between 350-360 the whole time. I went OMAD, lost my sweet tooth and loved not being hungry. My blood sugar would not come down and my A1C actually went up. I'm off carnivore right now but I am getting back on it concentrating on more fat intake. Looking at Dr. Boz's program.
Stop cheating then.
I didn't lose weight on keto with IF so changed to OMAD...did a bit better, then went to carnivore and didn't lose weight so went to carnivore OMAD ADF (alternate day fasting) and for the past 2 months I am losing 2 pounds a week, feeling great. Absolutely NOTHING you eat will lose weight for you, it's what you don't eat. I eat carnivore 1 meal every 48 hours. It's the only eating plan that is working for me and I'm sticking with it. I drink lots of water, take my electrolytes and supplements.
@@eckankar7756 thanks for your input..😊 MTBB
All diabetics are deficient in vitamin B1.
B1 is necessary for getting all energy into the cells (sugars, fats and proteins).
Magnesium, a Bcomplex, and adequate choline is necessary to utilize B1.
You probably have a functional deficiency in B1
Research mega dosing vitamin B1 and benfotiamine (fat soluble form of B1).
I am type 1 diabetic and the meat still kept my blood sugar up, so I still needed the insulin (gluconeogenesis) ….so I knew I had insulin resistance. It sounds like you had/have type 2 diabetes, so your cells don’t know how to control your own bloodsugar. If it is out of balance already it will be tough to get back. You definitely need to get that bloodsugar down with insulin so that your body isn’t so stressed out trying to deal with it floating around your body. When this happens, other disease continues because your body can’t even keep up with basic bloodsugar to do other important tasks.
He does look young! You both look really well. Thanks for this, really interesting
What change am I pretty sure will make a positive difference in my life? Cutting out the dairy and the coconut cream. I’m on day 12 of no sweeteners. I never thought I could do THAT. So what else can I do?? Kelly you’ve inspired me for years now and I knew I needed to stop the sweeteners after reading your story. It’s finally clicking now. Signed up for your March group class; see you then. Thank you for your amazing, inspiring, down-to-earth example.
"It's not in my value system" 💥 I love this! I'm starting to realize this with foods I used to eat.
Kelly, you’re an example of how one can keep improving their life.
Luckily for me the number on the scale doesn't cause me stress. It's just information to me. I've been carnivore for a year and a half, and I was keto seven months prior to that, and a couple of months into keto I bought a smart scale, and since the day I got it I haven't missed a single day weighing myself. It's like a comforting routine to me now. I get up, use the restroom, brush my teeth, brush my hair, wash my face, then I go weigh, then get dressed. I've not lost near as much as I need to, and there have been periods of weight gain when eating too much dairy or eating off plan, and a long plateau, but the scale is never the reason for me eating off plan, nor do the numbers make me think of quitting carnivore. The number have encouraged me to give up dairy (except butter ... you can take my butter out of my cold, dead hands, lol) and sweetener. I'm doing far better avoiding dairy than I am avoiding sweetener. I'm having a lot more trouble with sweetener. But I'll get there.
I use the scale twice a week and it helps keep me on track and is comforting, too. I threw it away once because so many said they had done it and I gained a lot of weight. Never again. We have to listen to ourselves above all. We can be guided by other´s choices and even give them a try, but ultimately, we know best if we stop and reflect.
For me, the weight is falling very slowly, but I do historical fencing and my opponents, who were out of range, are now within hitting distance, this surprised them (and me).
I tuned in today to see what you were up to so I could find something to try. Shoot wouldn't you know it would be exercise! So I did my upper body with my hand weights while I watched and think I will go do my stationary bike now for a while...Overcoming my own resistance is the hardest part!
I so appreciate this video. I am going to start Daily recording my non-scale victories!!!
I love the personal values comment!
I wouldn't cheat on my mate....so don't cheat on myself! Powerful!!
Starting from where I am physically...at age 70....I will set and achieve my own small daily victories. Thank you Both for your insights. Bless you for the work you do to help others!
I really enjoyed this interview, Coach Bronson and Kelly! I love and appreciate the recognition Coach Bronson brings to menopausal women and older people in general. Please have Coach Bronson's mom, maybe interview her and Coach Bronson together with you. As for answering your question, for me, more intentional movement. I know from previous experience, intentional movement EVERY DAY in addition to 3x/wk gym class along with my dogs sniffaries, will help my mood that much more. I just have to do it. Thanks for the interview!
I think cutting out my diet pop would improve my health but I'm just not there yet. Thanks for this video it was great encouragement and very informative 😊❤
Just switch to Zevia. The lemon lime is decent without all the shitty ingredients in diet soda.
What a fantastic video, Kelly! I loved the content and Coach Bronson!
😉😉
I'm really grateful for this, thank you. I just signed up for your April group sessions because I'm so needing help right now.
This video is calming my nerves expressly though:
I'm an autistic female and have comorbidities that left me bedridden for nearly two years - I can attest to the atrophy leading to spreading of weight.
I'm finally healing from the health issues but one that is rough is the anxiety and body dysmorphia - I'm up a good 25lbs from my comfortable weight and this morning I'm having a small meltdown due to having been keto/carnivore/lion for nearly a year and losing little to no weight.
I've had an unhealthy relationship with food in the past, and trying to fast for Lent (24-72hrs with no losses, not that that was the goal, it was all about walking with Christ, but that lack of movement scared me) turned out to be a bad idea on my mental health.
I'm rebounding and refitting my thoughts now - and while I want to get fit and feel like myself again (even at my healthiest mentally, I have a certain mental image and when I am outside of that for too long it is terribly hard for me to get over. It's a lot easier, and healthier, to just stay in my healthy target weight), I really don't want my weight/food journey to be such an idol.
I'm excited to learn what I'm lacking knowledge-wise in order to gain back the right amount of power that I lost when my health got robbed.
For anyone else in a similar boat, I'm praying for you. God has a great plan for us all and we can't lose sight of who we are to Him - He sees straight to our hearts, and loves us already...that is more than enough for me. Prayers for literally anyone reading this right now! You're loved and special beyond measure!
Thank you, Natalie. How are you doing now? Have you been able to recover some strength?
Watching this video makes me want to go to the gym. I love all the added pictures and videos that you included, Kelly.
Been waiting for this one!
Great informative video, Kelly and Bronson. I've saved it for reference. I'm not ready for any of it yet even though I need to be. Thank you both!!
I have followed you for a year or more but these videos are really encouraging me lately. Thank you 😊
I’m willing, able, nearly ready… I’m going to give up alcohol during lent and I want to actually stop forever. I see it doesn’t serve me in any way, even tho it’s not at a level that most people would call a problem. It’s not in my value system anymore. The contradiction between not-valuing it, but sometimes doing it, bothers me. Thanks for putting words to things we all experience! Carnivore nearly 5 years, but clearly not “pure”!
I initially gave up alcohol because it would always cause carb cravings. Now, I no longer drink simply because I know my body doesn´t need it and I have more fun just having sparkling water than I ever had with a couple of drinks. #AbstinenceIsFreedom
Awesome video, y’all are such an inspiration to me! I’ve done well not exercising but I really do need to move a bit more!!!
Let's go!
Great talk. Thank you both! Carnivore has reduced inflammation and arthritis in my body so that I am able to exercise pain free...and I am! I am so grateful I can again. Exercise makes me feel great.
You two are a high energy team!!
Love this way of shifting the mindset to overall health. I've just added in exercise beyond walking (now lifting and some heart pumping cardio). I feel so much better. I'm so glad for the positive reinforcement. I'll be sharing this video.
I haven't watched yet, but I will... I just get so excited when I see you have a new video. YAY!!!😊♥️😊
After a few month on and off carnivore and giving birth, I went full carnivore two weeks ago. The idea of exercice was tickling me and I just tried at the park with my kids. Felt awesome doing some push ups and squats ! My muscle pains are wonderful, I feel alive :)
Loved this video! The conversation made me rethink some things. My shoulder surgery is over so now I'm ready to get out there and walk moving my arms. I can also get out in the morning sun to get much needed vitamin D.
Great video. I’m new to carnivore. On week 4 now. I’ve lost just a couple pounds but I mentally feel great and I have more energy. I needed this video. I have started exercising more now that it’s nice outside.
Totally agree. I tell people all the time that mobility is what will save you long term.
50 days today, meat. one bowling ball down 15lbs. still carrying around 4 more bowling balls but at 75yr. are not able to exercise more, yet. I do try to walk my 2 acre property 1-3 times daily, not all at once, yet. just introduced my neighbor to you Kelly, she is really having it ruff, she is wanting to give it a go, she lost some weight years ago on Atkins, but got sick of meat after 2 wks. I guess she is around 260, can not hardly walk, with 2 canes. I pray she will be encouraged by you, as much as I am. thanks Kelly. it is 12 f this morning to cold but may be able to get out later today, if it hits 35f. 😎😎👍👍🥩🥩🥓🥓🍤🍤🧀🧀🧈🧈🍗🍗
Keep golng! The change is real! Be INCOURAGED! Listen to those that go before you with SUCCESS! ❤️ And God bless you!
Thank you for watching! Click here for Coaching: myzerocarblife.bigcartel.com/category/coaching-sessions I would love to work with you!
Amazing! Thanks.
I can attest to several things regarding carnivore.
2 months before my 60th birthday, I started eating a "carnivorish" diet. Over the course of several months I gradually dropped the pepper sauces, the avocado, olives, MCT oil, coconut cream, and generally started eating only meat. This lasted for about 5 months, but something just wasn't working properly. My energy levels were whacked out.
I had to have a CT scan as part of a cancer screening process I undergo every couple years. The CT scan was very thorough in looking at my urinary system including my liver. It turns out i had some liver trauma in the past farther back(12-15 years ago), and again more recent times (likely 3 to 6 years ago) and each of those times are directly correlated to a lot of red wine drinking.
I now have some cirrhosis and fibrosis of the liver. I had no idea. My blood work never seemed to indicate this, but if I look at all the issues I have suffered from for most of these years despite an excellent whole food diet, they all relate to liver function issues.
This is an incredible find. Meat is good for a liver, but it takes a lot of liver energy and health to manage the hard work of cleansing proteins from meat. I have read that other foods are more easily digested while also producing healing therapy for the liver. So, as a result, I have added the following.
Blueberries. Let's address this right off. Many people say it's just a sugar addiction. No, it is not. I have been very fine without sugar. Blueberries are incredibly healthy with lots of chemicals that help and support immune systems and the liver. I eat about a 1/2 cup per day, plain.
Avocado. .Avocado has a 70% fat profile full of healthy fats which are easily digested by the liver. This helps me offset the zero dairy issue I added as well. I need the fat. These also are very helpful to liver function according to virtually all references on Google. The result has been an incredible and very pleasing digestive system function with zero pain at the exit. (For those of you who have ever been constipated or suffered from issues related to that).
Walnuts. While much hullabaloo has been stated about the unbalance between omega 3 and 6 in walnuts, I'll risk it because according to virtually all resources these are especially good for liver function. So far, this has been very positive and are another source of fat to trace dairy with.
Olives. Olives are, like avocado, a lot of fat and some fiber, plus sodium. Sodium is highly prized for carnivores as we hardly get enough even salting meats as much as we do. Olives are listed as healthy for the liver, and they provide me another alternate source of healthy fats.
Why I quit dairy. OMGosh. I love dairy cream!!! I miss it every day, however, it was destroying my face. Eczema caused by dairy haunted me every day! So, I had to face this reality and let it go. I relied on dairy for enough fat. I eat a lot of meat, but can it afford to eat really expensive Ribeyes everyday. I eat a lot of Tri-Tip. I am the Tri-Tip king and cook it to perfection. I never trim the fats and usually buy it with the fat cap on. It's the gold in the pan everyone overlooks, and it's cheaper!!! 🤣
I continue to eat meat as the boulder on my plate. But, I have added these other foods to share in my necessary food intake, looking to heal a slightly disabled liver, and thrive in the years to come.
At 60 I lift weights. A habit I started at 49.5. I lift weights as often as possible, but recently only about once a week. I lift heavy as I can, and push myself. I feel I look really great for 60, so far. My goal was beach body by June! 🤣🤣🤣🌊
I resonate with your Additions to this regime-- because I have found my liver & kidneys are less taxed this way.
You are spitting truth! And you've put it to the test. Hope to be like you soon when it comes to lifting.
Nice informative post as to the reasons for your tweaks. Very helpful. I have been moving in the same direction. Sleep has been a problem for me since the menopause; I started learning to nose breath a year ago. Last night I mouth taped for the first time in many months. I slept through for a nice 8 hrs and the tape was still there! I love cream but have noticed it is a problem. Carnivore full time and weight training since April 22. Hoping my hyperinsulenimia (4times normal level) is reducing.
Pretty sure blue berries & Walnuts are not serving you due to oxalates.. Fish for omega 3.. I do suspect dairy harms me but at times it feels vital =/
Great video. You two are so passionate and inspiring. Thank you.
I’m so discouraged because I lost 55 pounds and have gained back over 20. I only lost weight because I was fasting every other day. Then I fell off the carnivore wagon, stopped exercising and stopped fasting and even eating once a day I literally gain a pound a day. My weight just keeps going up and I hate it. I’m so depressed, I’m terrified of getting fat again. I’m terrified of undoing all the hard work I put in. I felt so good and now I feel defeated mentally and physically, like my body just wants to be overweight. Idk what to do other than starve myself
My husband has been overweight for 30 some years. He’s been on the carnivore diet for about 7 months but is stuck and his gut won’t come off. He’s now given up all dairy but butter. Dr Berry said there are people who gain weight eating dairy and said he is one of them
If dairys no good for hubby just use tallow as your butter. I melt tallow and fat together for my hubby and I just sprinkle a bit of salt on my tallow and it works well. Tastes great.. Our grandparents ate fat way back before ansell keys etc changed diets..Well into the 6th year and living the dream...plaster a smile on your face and tell yourself you've got this.. ( : hi from New Zealand.
@@kaygibson1842 Well that was sweet of you to give dieting tips. Thank you! But what kind of fat do you melt with the tallow?
Thank you for this! I just turned 70 and have been doing very low carb, mostly carnivore for almost 2 years. I dropped over 50 lbs but started having a heart issue in October, and the cardiologist put me on an anticoagulant. In 10 days I gained 10 lbs. I had other side effects but not the normal ones so they told me to stop taking it. I believe I have a reaction to SLS which is an excipient used to help make tablets. (the other big brand also has it). It is almost 4 months later and I still have not gotten rid of those 10 lbs. I needed to hear all of this because although I am very strong and more healthy than almost all of my neighbors in my community, and my dog and I make the rounds several times a day, it is time for me to take a look at a new gym that just opened. I looked at the scale but the price made me want to cry. If I get a decent tax refun it may be able to be done.
Wonderful interview! Thank you both! ❤
Man, coach Bronson said some “key” words for me today. Great interview. Thank you Kelly for the motivation and information!!
Adapting a carnivore lifestyle not only allowed me to realize a significant weight loss with minimal exercise, it also inspired a couple of Eureka! moments, as well: 1. Perhaps one day develop a new Carnivore friendly food product, specifically refined ghee in an aerosol container, with a brand name of "Ghee Whiz") and; 2. Possibly develop a line of extremely weighted metal cutlery to make the dining process an actual part of one's excercise regimen.
The pictures of the cross fit activities look exactly the activities I do every day living on a sailboat. Never could see a reason to go to a gym for exercise. I live on a sailboat to prevent losing my health. I am 77 and look a little older than Kelly and the Coach.
The thing that has helped me with my health the most is Music and Dance.
Even singing helps with
Breathwork, stress, and mood so you can get into
An active state and reduce pain.
Even if I'm stuck in a chair from pain I can still move my body and improve mood and mental health.
Singing is the best. 😊
So you had to bring up people over 60 falling apart. That's ME! I started careless Keto 4 yrs ago and have lost weight and feel tons better. But now everything is sagging and aching and here I am watching you guys. I 68 and can't afford a gym but you've already given me lots of inspiration and as soon as we're done here I'm heading over to Coach Bronson's site to meet his mom :)
"Careless Keto" I hope you don't mind me stealing that! 👍🏽👍🏽
@@coach.bronson Oh of course not - I'm honored! Actually I was afraid I'd get bashed for using a term not sanctioned by the keto police, haha My definition of "careless" is not counting macros or ratios and occasionally eating something like cherries off my tree last summer :)
There’s a myth out there that says we don’t have to exercise on a keto/carnivore diet. Exercise is very important. I agree with Coach Bronson that it’s 50/50 nutrition and exercise. That has been my personal experience.
I´ve only ever heard that exercise isn´t necessary for weight loss on a keto/carnivore diet. I had a damaged Achilles Tendon when I first started and had trouble even walking, so I couldn´t exercise. I still lost over 200 lbs and have kept it off, but now that the tendon is healed, I enjoy walking/hiking and light weights a few times a week.
This interview spoke to me. I was keto almost 3 yrs then switched to ketovore with higher fat because I’m 51 and started getting the blues and just figured I’m heading into pre-menopausal and heard higher fat might help. I gained 7 pounds and was so 😡 but my feeling blue has decreased. So I really had to dig deep and is a number on the scale more important or me feeling happy again? I’ll take the happier me. Also I do exercise 3 days a week and lift heavy things so bone density and muscle gain could be why I’ve gained.
Try higher fat meat and tallow and cut out the dairy and see how you do. I was actually getting inflamed by the 🧈 butter.
Stronger is better!
@@TheCinder24 Thank you for saying this! I can't do butter either but all the carnivore influencers sware by it. :(
I am 6 weeks carnivore. I don’t weigh every day, but when I do, I get a morning weight and a night weight. I fluctuate 2 pounds between morning and night. Every time I weigh it’s only 2 pounds. I started at 188 and down to 177. I don’t fret on fluctuations. I’m working on eating enough and better sleep. Those two are big on how I feel and function for the day. :)
Hands down the best interview I’ve heard since I started carnivore 2 months ago! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Thank you both for giving me a new perspective.
Gaining a new perspective is amazing and super motivating. Let us know how things change for you.
Yesssss I try to explain this concept that just bc your in shape and have muscle does not mean your healthy....they can't put it together
The most amazing thing I take from this video is about Bronson's mom. My mom is suffering several healthy issues, and I'm crazy to find out how to help her. Unfortunately, I can't just go to her right now and say: start eating only meat. But, what I will start doing right now is eating only meat, take a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, a full blood test and stick to carnivore diet 'till the end of the year, take all the tests again and compare the results. It will be to discuss with my mom's doctor and try to implement this diet to herself. I truly believe that this is the diet she needs to get rid with all her healthy issues and I will put my best on it. Thank you, Kelly and Coach Bronson for this amazing chat.
My husband and I quit drinking two weeks ago....daily drinkers. We were keto...kinda haha...and went carnivore about 6 days ago.....the results so far are crazy!!! And I was a four year vegan til spring 2022 lol. Trying it all!
That would be me. 100% carnivore since January 2, 2023. I initially lost 7 pounds. Stopped losing ever since. But, because I feel so good I am motivated to continue eating this way.
What an awesome conversation! I LOVE the idea of doing the hard & challenging things until those things become less hard and easier to do! I need more of that in my life. What a gem! And thank you for the shout out in here! 🙏 I love both of you guys! Two of my favorites right here! ♥️♥️
Carnivore 1 month in. I am a bodybuilder, I eat the same amount of calories on carnivore as I did previously as an omnivore. I lost 7lb and this forever changed my outlook on calories in calories out. I'm assuming I was mildly insulin resistant or had some sort of dysfunction in my body while being omnivore regardless of the fact that I was exercising.
I felt pretty under the weather on carnivore for the first 2 weeks, but I bumped up the calories and I still continued to lose weight while feeling amazing.
I usually sleep around 4 hours before waking up to go pee, now I wake up to pee after 5-6 hours.
That’s great!
Hey Kelly, that was a very inspiring video thank you. It's hard for me to exercise but I can do bits n pieces and then I know I'll be able to increase that when I can - the main thing is to start somewhere! Keep up the good work & thank you for all your motivation & empathy! Big love & hugs to you & your team 🥰🤗💐🌻🥩😆
I've been struggling with my weight and health over the past several years. I've tried carnivore / keto multiple times, but got frustrated when I didn't lose weight. So I'm back on keto / mostly carnivore. This time, I'm using my rowing machine first thing every morning. Hearing you two talk about the importance of mindset has made me realize I've self-sabotaged by weighing myself, rather than simply enjoying my state of health and trusting the process.
Don't focus on weight. First focus on measuring inches First, you might be losing inches of your body but not much weight for a while.
Thanks for posting that article about resistance training vs aerobic training! And great interview!! :)
I believe fasting is the key to weight lose, I have been on the carnivore diet foralmost 3 months and lost 25 lbs but it didn’t happen to I fasted 23 hours, I love to hear you and all you have to say that really helped thank you so much.
This was such great information! I have been doing well on mostly ketovore and absolutely fell off the wagon this weekend.....so dumb!! I have, however, started taking a couple of classes at the gym and am loving it. I will be back at my carnivore/ketovore on Monday. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you so very much for sharing all that you learn and your changes. Kelly, I do remember when you didn't work out. Again, thank you. We all live and learn
I’m standing up and doing some stretches whilst watching rather than sitting with my feet up feeling sluggish. Thank you both 😊
Thx SO much for this! Been "threatening" to get serious w/ weight-bearing workout, but felt like I should hold off lil longer due to cortisol issue. But, this has given me clarity & encouraged me to get it on! God bless!
We Definitely want to see you interview his cross training/carnivore mom.
I want to hear his mom. Us older people need to hear older people's stories
@myzerocarblife You should have my mom on here!
Agree!
Imagine having a son who would train you!
BLESSED!
I was doing carnivore & intermittent fasting. Ifel like a million dollars. I added weight training. I felt like 10 million dollars. It was that dramatic. Insulin resistance was getting less but the insulin dependence completely vanished with the weight training.
Enjoyable and helpful and glad to hear you're not proud of not working out anymore. It's nice to hear you admitting and sharing that. Thank you.
Kelly, I've watched your video's for a couple of years now. You are amazing in showing us what's possible and your gift of message in helping others do the same. I have kind of a different situation going on and could really use your suggestions. I'm 60ish, always been heavy (but very strong and able to move just fine) Then the wheels fell off when I had a pulmonary embolism, got on oxygen therapy, was put on Warfarin and told to take it easy and recover. Well, that put me in scared to death mode, (and what do I do when I stress....EAT) mode, the meds I take make me feel so bloated, fat, ugh. Here's the thing, Add "C" into the mix with nobody doing anything for 3 years now, I am COMPLETELY DECONDITIONED and I can barely move around the house. I can stand for 4 minutes, but then have to sit down. I can walk around my house as long as I know where the chairs are when I need to sit. It's like being in prison. I've tried exercising in my chair, I've tried adding more steps walking in place, yet it seems like I'm not making any headway. Each day I strive and I'm not going anywhere. Oh, I'm also doing keto/carnivore, but not losing hardly anything lately (but I did lose 50 pounds over 6 months). How in the heck can I help myself get stronger?? I feel like I'm missing a simple piece of this puzzle but I sure haven't been able to figure it out. Thank you so much..... and thanks to anyone who reads this and can offer advice.....
Sounds like you're doing great but will just have to keep at those few minutes of exercise to build up more stamina. Just like you didn't get that weak overnight, you won't get back into better shape overnight either. Your body went through a lot with the clots and recovery. Maybe if you had a place for swimming or water aerobics, it might help you enjoy longer times of exercise. Prayers for your strength and stamina to build back up. Keep up the good work!
Some people are not physically able to exercise. Yes, it can happen in time but I don't think they should be discouraged from *just* doing the nutrition approach first and then adding in exercise when they can. Just wanted to say - don't wait to start if you can't exercise just yet - just get going on nutrition first!
Terrific interview, exactly what I need today! Going back to listen again!
Did you take notes?
The only number I’m obsessing over is my dexcom. I am seeing zero spike and prediabetic numbers. Which is huge for me. ❤
After 21 months A1C went from 9.6 to 5.2 keep up the fight
10 months carnivore, 60% better, 35 lbs lost with 20 + more to go and I frankly am happy with where I am. however my chronic fatigue and psoriasis has not gone away. I just watched a Judy Cho video on CIRS and I took a vision test she recommended. Looks like a strong possibility I have that. So working out is beyond my ability right now. I'm look forward to feeling like working out again...
I looked for the vision test but can’t find it. Curious where?
I'm a big believer in Bronson's Essential movements. And I am reminded just how essential they are every time I squat down to retrieve something out of the bottom cabinet! 😅 Great interview!
Will definitely start moving now. Very sedentary desk job right now. Thanks!
This was such a great interview! I appreciate you guys sharing how important it is to use both diet and exercise for optimum quality of life. I've always had the mindset of weight loss happens in the kitchen and while exercise is good, what you eat should be the focus. I loved that Coach Bronson said it was 50/50!!! Thanks to both of you! I need to get working on some strength training!
Great info! Thank you, both!❤🙏🏻❤️
2 people with very healthy attitudes and plenty of sense! Great video .
