INFORMATION ABOUT CIRS:
I mentioned Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) in the video and how exposure to toxins (when combined with a genetic predisposition) can make it much harder for people to get relief from symptoms, even following a Carnivore Diet. If you aren’t healing and feeling MUCH better after six months of eating this way, I would encourage you to look into other possible causes.

If you think you have CIRS, but you aren’t able to afford the treatments, eating a carnivore diet while also getting extra sun exposure and eating omega 3s (seafood!) does help some people to feel relief from symptoms. Removing yourself from an environment with mold and avoiding excess environmental and dietary toxins is never a bad idea, but I know it’s not always an easy fix. And if none of that gets your symptoms to go away, PLEASE know that there are ways to make the Shoemaker protocol more doable. THERE IS HOPE, and you don't have to be a millionaire to find healing by using this protocol. ❤

I'm not a doctor. I don't even play one on TV. Please do not use this video as medical advice. I tell the truth about my own health and my own experiences in hopes of improving other people's health, but have no interest in being sued. So...consult a doctor if you have questions.
And please don't add or take-away anything from your diet that doesn't make you feel good. Your body is always the best judge. Please like, subscribe, and share the video in order to help spread the Carnivore message.
Oh my gosh, Kelly. Thank you so much for talking to Dr. Bikman about me. I am just sitting here in tears with gratitude and appreciation in my heart for you. I love you so much. Thank you for trying to help me Genetically I’ve always known that my body was meant to survive a famine. God gave me that gift and I’m so thankful for being healthy metabolically. I won’t give up hope and I’ll stay the course. Thank you thank you thank you.
Haha, I know what you mean about surviving a famine, I'm the same. In the last 72 hours I ate some chicken with lots of fatty skin and a large fillet of barramundi...my blood glucose was still around 4.8 this morning. I can honestly say that I've not been hungry though. I'm working with DDF, look up Marty Kendall. Using a CGM and his formula has helped get me start losing again.
I would follow Sarah Kleiner Wellness. You might be leptin resistant. It's a blood test so can easily be checked. No one talked about circadian rhythm and weight loss.
@@ygillham what is his formula? And what is ddf?
@@ygillham Just saw that Marty Kendall video yesterday - I think he makes a good point about waiting to eat until your BG hits your trigger level. Now to find out what that is... 😉
@@ygillham I will look it up. Thank you so much!
I'm one of those who gains or doesn't lose & stalls out if I eat too much meat. I'm a 5-year Carnivore and it took me years to get the same results as others got in 6 - 15 months. I could never figure out why. After about 3 years I finally figured it out. In my liver, Gluconeogenesis runs too agressive and for too long. So if I eat more that 1 pound of meat at a time (any kind) my Glucose goes off the scale like I'm eating sugar. Gluconeogenesis is doing exactly what it should, it's just too much for my body. I also have chronic Pancreatitis so I'm always fighting that too. Now that I've reduced the amount of meat per sitting, I've dropped weight like it's nothing. 245 down to 168 in just the past year once I figured out how much to eat at once. I used to eat 18-22 oz Ribeyes and huge plates of roast & ribs and everything I could afford. I saw a lot of folks eating 2-3 pounds of meat a day so that's what I did. It never worked for me until I made these changes. Find what works for YOU and go with it.
The good news for me is that I've reversed Type-II Diabetes, Insulin Resistance & Metabolic Syndrome. My A1C was 10, now it's 5. Glucose was 150-225. now it's 85-95. So I'm very happy with that. I'm no a longer Type-II diabetic.The main problem I always has was weight loss, until we figured it out.
Great video here today Kelly! So glad to see you have Dr. Bikman on today! I take any opportunity to listen to him speak. Thanks Kelly.
How many pounds of meat do you now eat per day
@@lorenamcgovern I try to keep it around a pound of beef per day. But, I eat TMAD. Breakfast is usually about 4 eggs and a nice pile of breakfast sausage patties, about 4. 😁 So not a lot in the morning. My second meal is usually about 3-4 in the afternoon and I usually have two 1/4 pound burger patties, with maybe some Liverwurst, a couple of eggs or some Italian sausage or even Italian meatballs. I like to mix it up. But I just have to keep the total meat at about a pound a day. I get by on that just fine. A pound a day is roughly 75g of Protein for the day and that puts me right where I need to be. You'll find your sweet-spot too. It just takes time. Make adjustments, go for a week or two and see what happens. Change it again if you need to. And if you're new, use a app like Carb Manager to figure out your Macros that work for you then you can leave it behind once you know what you need to know. Best of luck in your journey Loren!
@@LifeByKpop thank you. I think I should try that too
@@lorenamcgovern Hummm ... you having similar issues like me with weight loss?
Fasting for me solves all weight loss problems. Anyone who can't lose weight is not fasting.
I love listening to BB. So sensible and such a humble and clear speaker.
The teacher who wants to be sure every student understands.
Man i can totally believe there are some people that still have a hard time losing weight with zero carbs. i am losing weight on the BBBE but im very strict and never deviate at all and it feels like for my weight, i should be losing a lot more weight per month then i do. but that said BBBE has been a miracle for me. it truly saved my life. i was over 700 lbs stuck in a chair for over 2 years. i am currently down to 479lbs and fully mobile again, i had a list of medical issues a mile long that have all cleared up as well
Get shredded and be a miracle story
@@user-hu9sw5zf8j that's the plan :)
Dr Bikman, I understand your hesitation, but as a menopausal woman I went years without losing weight. I wasn't overweight, but gained 15 lbs at the start of menopause. Coming from a bodybuilding background I knew exactly what I was eating, and I didn't have fasting insulin problems or fasting glucose problems. But after lots of work I realized I am more sensitive to protein. By switching to smaller protein at a meal and higher fat (80/20) I FINALLY lost the 15 lbs. It was really frustrating for my own doctor and all the carnivore and keto influencers out there to suggest I wasn't actually eating what I should or was lying about it. Adding cold fat, not hot, and eating 3 meals a day with no more than 28 grams of protein a day is what did the trick.
I feel like the effect of hormonal upheaval in menopause is overlooked or ignored. I’m going through the menopause transition and have been having a similar experience. I track my nutrition and exercise and this 8kg of weight I’ve gained in the past year just won’t budge. I’ve been Keto for 7 years and carnivore for about 5 months. My hormones are all over the place and I suspect this is the cause.
28 grams a day or per meal???
@raquel5401 also keen to know did you have to go down to 28g per day protein or do you mean per meal? I am gaining over perimenopause and carnivore and going to reduce protein but didn't think of going that low, hoping you mean 28g protein 3x day!
Post menopausal woman here. Carnivore 4 months…I’ve lost 13 pounds. It has been slow!!!! I do take thyroid med & hormones because mine had tanked & my doc put me on them. She thought it would also help me lose weight if my hormones were regulated but….it hasn’t worked like she thought. Yes us menopausal women are a mystery on this weight loss thing. What I do know is….we need less stress, more sleep, but I am still trying to figure out the whole protein/fat ratio. I have no idea 😂 It sucks. But in time I guess I’ll figure this out.
I find it incredibly difficult to eat enough fat, and not too much protein. Been zero carb for three weeks, and am 66 y.o. I have lost a few inches, and eight pounds...
So often clinicians do NOT believe us, I've experienced this often in my life, so I've just stopped going tothe doctor. The last time I saw one, she just looked at me and "what do you want me to do for you?" Well, for one, how about trying to find out why I feel the way I do??
So, now I've found carnivore. Thank God.
😂 my favorite line, 'who do you think you are boy?' love it 😂 God knew what he was doing, right!! 🎉 Great video guys
Was laughing while agreeing when he said this too!😂
About the lady who can't lose 100lbs... Dr. Mark Hymen had a person who had toxic levels of heavy metals in her fat. Once the heavy metals were detoxed, the patient lost the weight.
Kelly- As an older woman I just... whew THANK YOU for believing us when we say what we're eating! I get called an idiot or a liar for not losing weight on carnivore/keto. I had an ED for twenty years I know dang well what goes in my mouth!
I'm sticking with low carb for health reasons but zero weight loss has me depressed and frustrated. Hoping to crack this.
Maybe it's time to admit we need to study peri/menopause women differently. We should be our own group and have different recommendations than the younger ones. I'd sign up to be in a study of older ladies!
I’m stuck on someone called you an idiot…wow 🤦♀️
Look at Dr Mindy Pelz channel - she’s keto/carnivore but tweaks the diet and fasting windows for perimenopause and menopause women. During last week of menstrual cycle (the pms week) women need some carbs and certain carbs and to be able to switch back and forth from fat burning to carb burning. The carbs help with progesterone production is what she says. Anyways I found her approach helpful
She's menopausal. No menstrual cycle. Pelz really glosses over menopause because she doesn't know. She's not an endocrinologist
I did carnivore it was great until I started perimenopause and with it developed subclinical hipotiroidismo that doctors say it's normal. One in perimenopause started gaining weight on carnivore and fasting
I am very strict eating but nothing works.
I think the problem with perimenopause is that hormones are like crazy. And since you are in a lower range of everything all doctors say that the cannot do anything at that point
I’d love to join that group!
I cut out sugar completely, coming from KETO and IF for 2 years losing 160lbs. Jumped on Carnivore to get off of my months long plateau. Took me a year to lose anything on strict Carnivore! ALL of my health issues cleared but had not lost a lb.
Go on an extended fast 72 hrs, come back into an OMAD after priming with fat bone broth after fast
I have been on my carnivore journey for 527 days now and used to watch everyone in this space. No longer because of uninformed info coming from people who do not truly grasp the medical, biological, physiological aspects of what is happening at the cellular level. I trust Ben Bickman and you because I am educated in medicine, biology and pathophysiology so I can sort out the truth and cringe at the bad info out there from well meaning but improperly educated lay people in this area. It's damaging and I cannot listen to them anymore. So thank you for this interview AND your honesty in not spreading ignorant info just to have a channel. ❤❤❤
I think I've watched every interview with Ben Bikman. I never get tired of him.
“Somethings not right” is the whole point!
That’s why ppl are watching.
“Eat BBBE” doesn’t need vid after vid
The vids need to explain what’s not right. What we can do or stop doing.
Do it long term and fast. Cut out the fat more. May make you lethargic but basically get into rabbit starvation(force the body to eat at the fat)
According Dr. Rob Cywes , excess protein is converted to sugar and stored as fat.
I am so glad I came back to read the comments. I was screaming at my phone watching this minutes after she posted it.
“That’s me!” “Nobody believes me!”
And now I know I’m not alone.
I have to keep protein under 30g/meal. Is it ok to eat more meals because I can’t “eat meat until full”?
Oh my goodness, THANK YOU! This was the best interview!
That’s me. It’s totally true. 100% carnivore for months, no weight loss. I had to start fasting to lose weight. I think this is common for POST MENOPAUSAL women with insulin resistance for decades. See Jason Fung’s work. This is what his fasting program teaches.
Fung is excellent as well!!
Its calories. There is no magic diet.
@@YoMama-Sucks - it’s not all calories. In fact, Kelly is the perfect example of this. She talks about eating 1200 calories of the SAD and gaining weight. She then switched to carnivore and was eating around 2400 calories, and the fat just fell off. You’re right about a diet or particular food not being magic. It’s about being in a state of ketosis so that the body burns its own fat for fuel.
@@LauraB.335 Yes it is calories. You're just not smart enough to know that. Its not that you needed to be in ketosis its that the body needed certain nutrients from fat and the body was able to function better. But at the end of the day if you overeat fat you will gain weight.
Long-term fasting may not be a good idea for older women. That's because they usually do not have lots of muscle or a very high metabolic rate to begin with, and one reason they have a problem losing body fat. Also, long term fasting has been shown to reduce metabolic rate, diminish muscle mass, as well as mess up other biological processes like thyroid as well.
You rarely hear of the downsides of long term fasting, so have an open mind and don't purposely starve yourself for too long, too often. We have no instinct to go hungry and instincts are good for us. We have them for a reason.
I would say it would be a lot smarter to build muscle instead of starving yourself, just my thoughts.
I’ve suffered hypoglycemia over 20 years! Many doctors… then carnivore cured me. ❤
I LOVE watching Kelly's facial expressions! This isn't just someone interviewing another person, but you can see the wheels turning in her brain as she's trying to absorb everything Ben is saying (to the benefit of her clients). Fun to watch and great info! Thanks for your devotion.
Amazing interview! He does such a good job of explaining what goes on with your fat cells, etc. How fortunate to have him in the carnivore community. Thanks, Kelly, for adding this video/interview to your arsenal!
Great interview. I have been skeptical of Ben Bikman despite his obvious knowledge as he didn't seem to accept that in many people (hello perimenopausal women...like me) that insulin spiking through eating meat was extreme enough to cause weight gain. I am one of those who adhered to a carnivore diet strictly for 6 months and put on fat. So valuable to hear him admit and explain this, though I think its a lot more common than he realises. It gives me hope that a high fat moderate protein approach with smaller meals will get results. Motivated to try again!
You two are awesome. Kelly, thanks for putting this together! I watch you both as often as I can. I have to go find "Ben's" hundreds of videos. Keep spreading the word. It has saved my life. I was so overweight I had pretty much given up on life at 62. And, I was not an everyday lousy eater. I ate the pyramid. When I first heard I can only eat meat, my life turned around. I had no clue what carnivore, fasting, TRE, ketones, or anything else meant. I just started eating meat because that is what I liked. Suddenly, weight started peeling off, I was less tired, better at work, and able to be more active. Eating meat is so much more simple than buying, cooking, storing, and throwing away vegetables and fruit. I have lost 130 lbs so far in about 15 months. Only another 100 to go. As I said, keep getting the word out! Thank you.😁❤🐄
In six months of carnivore I lost over 20 kilos. But I also lost muscle and hair, and my skin wasn't as great as I'd hoped. Nor was my energy.
And in the following six months I ended up bingeing (on dairy, nuts and dark chocolate), and ended up gaining half the weight back.
So now, I'm a week in on strict high fat carnivore. I realize that I was under eating fat last time, and now I want to remedy that.
Yes, I do want to lose weight. But even more so, I want to give this all I can, to see if possibly I can get some healing of my severe autoimmune symptoms.
Hopful from all the positive reports.
Thanks Kelly, and thanks Doctor, for pointing out how God actually created fat *and* protein to be (eaten) together.

This interview is fantastic! I love dr. Bikman's message of a HEALTHY body rather than a skinny one. It really hit home for me.
I'm already looking forward to a part 2 (hopefully!!).
Great job, Kelly!!
thank you both for the interview/information!!---and I'm again DELIGHTED to hear credit being given to God. ❤
I have been having such a hard time giving up sugar. I have never had this problem before. It wakes me up! I need to get on this way of eating and get healthy again. I’m 61. I have had such a rough life, healthwise. It all started with a bad back and then a disk ruptured. I am listening to this on the replay. Thanks for these videos.
Butter had me gaining weight like it was my job! Got rid of butter and started losing weight.
I love your videos. The comments you add to the bottom of the video are so effective. You dont interupt the guest, most interviewers interupt so much. You can tell that you are really listening. Excellent video.
My sleep was very poor until I started Carnivor. After about 10 weeks, I started to sleep much better, and then I started to lose weight. I started the Carnivor diet due to Oxalates = painful joints. Oxalates, I think, from almonds and almond flour on the keto diet.
Read the book Toxic Super Foods.
I’m so surprised by how toxic almonds are!! I’m allergic to it now but years ago I used to eat handfuls of almonds, almond bread .. the lot! So toxic 😱
@Shayna Boyce yes, same with me. Made almond bread, cakes, etc. Thought I was being healthy but started to get joint pain for the first time in my life. So now, with no oxalate in my diet, pain decreasing and most of my stiffness gone. I've been doing carnivor for 2 months. Will do it for 90 days, then start having low oxalate foods. Now that I know what has been happening 💪😃 I am very grateful.
As a women over 50, I needed to have HRT in proper doses for me, in order to start gaining muscle again and lose weight. I also needed to have a nutrient dense diet, meat heavy.
I am definitely someone who is full carnivore now for 7 weeks and have not lost any weight!! I am frustrated & lost…I came from keto & lost 16lbs about a year ago & got rid of my bp meds.. I practice fasting as well (18:6 usually & throw in a 24 to 36 hr fast once a week)… I’m going to try to increase my fat intake
Welcome to CrossFit Kelly!!!
Are you eating till full ? Are you eating at night ?
I do know I am insulin resistant , I talk to my Dr about all of my tell tale signs . He is in agreement , and knows that I am on a carnivore diet . I’m over weight ,,glucose is normal ( tested 3x) I’m releasing weight very slowly 6 lbs . I do have high Bp . Osteoporosis , fibromialga . I’ve been Carnivore for 3 months . I will continue on my path . 😊 After watching this fantastic video, I’ve got Some great take aways . Thank you very much to the both of you !
I believe we have a NATURAL weight, and that natural weight is one that is easy to maintain, but doing nothing extreme, like over or under eating. That said I've been eating sardines this weekend and I am AMAZED at how my body tolerates them and have curbed "cravings" its like my body is finally receiving the CORRECT nutrition it needs to function. Something so simple as finding the right food for your body, has only taken me 48 years! Eat to live, don't live to eat.
5 years ago I Lost about 50 doing low carb. But after a while I plateaued. That plateau lasted a long time. I finally gave up and started
Eating some carbs and exercise. No weight lose but eventually started gaining. I would start keto again and still couldn’t get below 184. Tried WW, didn’t work. After three years still no success. I’m losing now. Why? I think it is because I started drinking wine after losing about 40 pounds. I figured wine was low carb, and shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve been carnivore for two months now and I am losing again @173 this morning. Something about alcohol is not good for me, even though there are few carbs.
That makes sense! Alcohol is a toxin and the body will prioritize burning it so it is cleared from the body as fast as possible. Burning body fat takes a back seat until the alcohol is cleared. And if not sufficiently fat adapted I imagine it might be quite a set back to get back to fat burning and only establish a cycle of never fat burning if the person is a regular consumer of alcohol
i LOVE Dr. Bikman!!! He is so logical and plain! Makes so much sense!
Thank you so very much for giving credit to where credit is due 👆🙏The Great Designer and Creator. Be blessed.
I had this problem all the while my High blood sugar and other labs improved dramatically month by month. I finally asked for a fasting insulin. It was 19!!!!! 😱 No wonder I wasn't able to loose weight for all my efforts over 30 years. I am loosing very slowly but my understanding is that it will take a while for my insulin regulation to normalize. No matter what I put in my mouth my insulin (pancreas) over reacts. I will cut back on meat and look forward to more healing and balancing. Weight loss is no longer my goal. I now focus on attaining Metabolic Health.
Wow, Kelly! I've followed many fantastic interviews, made lots of notes, been Ketovore over a year, but this is THE most INCREDIBLE interview I've come across.
I had hit a plateau as a 76 healthy woman, on no medications, to lose 10 or so pounds. I simply reduced my volume of food (calories), still being careful of adequate fat to less protein,
and the fat is melting off.
Wonderful to hear Dr Bikman espousing the same principle when one hits a fat loss plateau, inspite of eating low carb.
🥰🥰🥰
It was very helpful to hear a Q&A that addresses the frustration of doing everything right w/o weight loss success. Social media is full of thin people telling you what to do to look like them. Sometimes the lack of success points to genetics and I appreciate hearing that message. It's great to have improved health markers but it's also understandably desirable to look like you're healthy. Thanks for the message on these authentic struggles for many people.
I am one of those women who have been strict carnivore for over a year and my weight has stayed the same. I am not diabetic, but I have a few autoimmune issues. One is SLE
A great interview. I have always admired Dr. Bikman, but I was disappointed to hear him initially dismiss Kelly's observation about peri and post menopausal women not being able to lose weight on carnivore. I am one of them. Please listen to us and consider our experiences. We are not lying.
Yes, nothing like a man dismissing women 😂
I see Kelly and Ben= I hit the like. Thank you Kelly sharing the honest truth, if only the whole world would listen and accept how off course we are. Easy fix less carbs, more meat.
Hey Dr Bikman. I’m one of those who have gained weight on carnivore. Feel free to study me!!
Incredible interview!! Thank you, Kelly!!!
What an awesome interview. Thanks to both of you!
Absolutely right - It took almost 5 months on carnivore to lose a few pounds. It's essential to know your macros, to tweak them as needed, and each individual is different. So many - even doctors - are telling us " eat all the meat you want, you cannot gain weight". Once I changed the macros, (too much protein) the weight is melting off. 16 lbs. in about 5 weeks. You really have to pay attention to the ratios, and adjust as necessary. It's still the easiest and simple way of eating, and of course, delicious and satisfying. I'll never go back to the SAD. Kelly, thank you for your informative videos, and troubleshooting for those of us who were not having success at the start.
How did you figure this out love? X
Such a great conversation between great people!
Excellent interview. Going to watch again - so much great information! Thank you Kelly!
Thank you Kelly for your videos. Love this one especially 😊
Thank you❤, been on this new lifestyle of eating for over a month and loving it. Love this channel.
Thank you Kelly! I am so happy you did this. Fantastic interview!!!
I am one of those people who has been eating this way for a couple yrs now, & lost absolutely zero weight until just recently. While I'm still not completely certain what the issue was, this conversation surely gave me some things to consider. I did the typical switching up of fat to protein macros, various forms of fasting, less/more exercise, etc~ & gave each change at least several weeks to a few months. I also happen to be 4 yrs post-menses, so whichever stage a person wants to consider that- be it menopausal or post menopausal. Folks differ on the terminology.
That being said, it seems to me that it's primarily my life-stage peers who have the most stubborn time of it w/fat loss. I cannot say why I suddenly started seeing body re-comp changes, even before any actual weight loss, yet I went down a size in clothing. About a month later- last month- the scale started moving, & I'm down 15 lbs or so. Still have another 25 to go, but I would not trade any of the other benefits/healing/quality of life I've gained for any amount of fat loss at this point. Took me 2 yrs to accept & be able to say that & mean it...most days. =)
I feel you on this 💛 I’m only in perimenopause (45) and my hormonal swings are like riding a bucking bronco! Seems to make insulin resistance even harder to overcome 🤦🏼♀️
Are you eating cheese
Update; after reading through the comments here- & some specific prayer- I believe a few things mentioned most likely applied, & still apply to my situation. Cutting out all sweet tastes, keeping protein lower than fat at any meal, & keeping my metabolism guessing have surely helped get the scale moving. I also believe I had/still have much internal healing to do, despite no official diagnosis. Just because I couldn't see it or feel it does not mean things were all good.
🎯This channel has some of THE BEST comments shared I've seen yet~ so truly helpful, & inspirational~ Thank you all!💡
Love your name, full timer here. I have been struggling with these same issues, got stuck after 60 pound loss on keto. I have not been consistent the last 3-4 months but going to try carnivore for a few months and see where it takes me, oh and 62 here so same struggles. I was diagnosed with hypothyroid 5 years ago but weened myself off meds last 3 years. New Dr. Was asked to test so she did tsh and said fine.
@@ramblinrozz2242 Excellent to hear you're off meds & test was fine~ yay! Carnivore is what finally (helped) to get un-stuck. I had a hard time w/sweet cravings on keto, but after I went meat only, AND managed to get my fat intake up, the sweet tooth started to fade. For me, the fat was super important~ & if I do get a sweet craving, I eat frozen browned butter, bacon, or chew on a salt rock~ all 3 work for me, so does plain yogurt or whipped cream w/a little vanilla. That's probably the most important thing I've learned, not to be dogmatic about "rules" & really make carnivore your own. It's the only way for many of us to make it sustainable & continue to reap the many benefits of this way of eating. It truly is life changing, & I never thought I'd say that about food- of any sort. At this point, the mental health & clarity of mind have taken the top slot over the weight loss- though I've lost another 15 lbs. Waking up feeling this good every day is a joy I've been missing my whole life I think, & I couldn't be more grateful.=) Maybe we'll see you out there Rozz~ & feel free to continue this chat, or email if you'd like. We're still holed up in the heat & summer storms here in NV so plenty of time on my hands~ Sam🙋♀
Absolutely one of the most extraordinary learning sessions, ever!!!!!
What a wonderful interview discussion! I love hearing the knowledge from Dr Ben Bikman. Thank you for asking the tough questions Kelly!
Amazing timing...I just finished reading Ben's book this afternoon 😊
Thank you for this interview and video. I have found it to be very informative and will have to watch it again as I am sure I missed a bit. Love you both!!
Thank you so much for an excellent,excellent interview. I always love to hear Dr. Bikman, he is absolutely amazing ‼️Stay safe & well❣️
Wow - loved this interview- thanks Kelly!
Awesome interview, Kelly!!! I got some really good nuggets of info from this.
I just love listening to Dr. Bikman!! What a great soul!
Thank you so much Kelly. And Ben.❤ I have watched and listened to 100s of videos/podcasts. This!This! One is incredible. It explains so much. So informative. Thank You Thank You Thank You. ❤❤❤
Absolutely brilliant! And you're a great interviewer, Kelly!
Great video, wonderful questions and love how even with his brilliant mind he can explain it to the general public.
Thanks kelly
I love you so much Kelly and your videos!!! You bring me joy 🤩
I am one of those not losing weight or inches, a year on carnivore. 😢 thank you for the information!
Right there with you.😢
Me Too!!
Fasting will solve this problem. You're eating too much.
@Ryan Gabel
I've been doing IF /OMAD and only eat around 900 -1100 calories a day. And don't tell me that's too many calories 🙃 cuz it's not
@suzy tee Well I lost 110lbs doing ADF alternate day fasting. I tried OMAD, and it didn't work. But you keep thinking you're doing it right.
I'm glad that Kelly asked Dr Bikman to the dance! Great video! I'll have to listen to this one again!
Thanks for Dr. Bickman. Your an inspiration and he is "The Man"
❤❤❤ LOVE this conversation! Great questions and discussion. Have been trying for years to get rid of belly fat and this has given me a clear, actionable approach. Appreciate BB's measured, thoughtful approach and answers. Have heard some of this info before and dabbled in it, but this video has hit me between the eyes. Thank. you, Kelly and Ben!
Fantastic interview. The best part was the mutual admiration between the two of you!
Love Dr. Bikman. Great video!
Thanks Kelly, great interview. Love and admire Ben Bikman so much! I'll repeat and listen to you both again later today. Gotta let all this information sink in properly.
Great interview! Thank you ❤
Right on! I have been waiting for this video. I’ve struggled for 15 months even though my numbers are moving downward, but slowly. Thank you both!
Im that person! Doing everything right but no weight loss. I was in ketosis for 45 days straight, still didn't lose any weight. I have at least 20 lbs to lose. 😢
Wonderful guest and eye opening interview! Love both of y'all!
This is a wonderful interview! I trust Dr. Bikman more than anyone else out there dealing with diet and health.
Amen, Dr. Bickmam. Yes, He did it for a reason!!
I absolutely LOVE Ben Bikman!!! So fun to watch all his interviews, so intelligent and has a way to educate the masse's
Thank you for addressing this. I have been doing everything I can and am not losing weight.
I can keep hearing Ben Bikman again and again, and never get tired. Your questions were very good! I'm kind of in the category of being long term cv 2+ years, with not much is happening now... I'll try some things mentioned. Thank you 😘
Love this discussion! Love Kelly and a new fan of Ben. I keep learning!

2 of my favorite people to listen. To.
2.5 years on carnivore, gained 55 pounds (pounds and inches...)- does not matter what I do- I can't lose or keep gaining.
not pre-diabetic.
Superb interview! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Y'all, I've made a list from this comment section and several others of things that people have done to successfully break a weight-loss stall:
1) eat less protein at a sitting (no more than 25-30g) while keeping fat high.
2) a sardine fast (other types of fish may also work).
3) a fat fast (just butter, tallow, cod livers, maybe some pork belly, heavy cream and egg yolk custard, that kind of thing).
4) truly make sure you're getting enough electrolytes. You may need more of one than other people require. Experiment with more salt, you may be a "salt-waster."
5) get SERIOUS about your circadian rhythm. Poor sleep increases insulin resistance.
6) cut out all dairy.
7) cut out all caffeine: coffee (even decaf), tea (even green), diet sodas, chocolate.
8) cut out all artificial flavorings, yes, even La Croix and LMNT.
9) get (much) more sunlight on (much) more skin.
10) cut out any meat that isn't from a ruminant.
11) cut out all zero-carb sweeteners. They may be confusing your pancreas.
12) supplement with iodine.
13) supplement with boron.
14) OMAD or alternate day fasting or prolonged fasts. Basically, fasting.
15) your body may be protecting you from heavy metals stored in your fat cells. Chelate out the heavy metals, and your body will be willing to release the fat. (People use raw egg yolks for this?)
16) the last and hardest - lower your stress. Yoga, breathing, meditation, etc., are all good, but often the real issue is a bad job or a bad relationship that may need to be let go.
These are things that people have done to successfully break their weight stalls. I am not recommending any of them in particular, and I'm certainly not recommending that anyone try ALL of them at once, I'm just reporting what people have said.
If some of these resonate with you, they might be worth doing more research into.
Wow!! This is an awesome compilation of possible solutions!! THANK YOU for taking the time to write it up and share it! ❤️
You are wonderful for collecting all this info and putting it in one place! Thank you so much!
Great interview! Thanks for this one ❤
This was SO helpful! Thank you so much for these words of wisdom!
Kelly, you are talking about me as far as 50+ women only eating either ketovore or carnivore for over a decade. I also have a max bench of between 225-247. All of my numbers, including deep thyroid tests, are healthy. A1C is 5.5. I workout 6-days per week INTELLIGENTLY. That means cardio only 15 minutes to prevent cortisol, and heavy weightlifting. I only eat eggs, tons of butter because of Dr. Elizabeth Bright, steak, hard cheeses, heavy cream. I hate vegetables and fruit. I also have had chronic diarrhea for months now. So, I went off of carnivore and keto for a few weeks. Nothing changed except some water weight gain, so I went back to carnivore. I've never been afraid of fat. I was always lean and athletic so this has been such a source of frustration for me. The way I lift weights, I don't think I can over eat, but even do, I've done OMAD, 2MAD, on 4 eggs twice per day. NOTHING works! I only like fatty cuts of meat. Fowl is BORING to my palette. This doc does what all of these folks do. He thinks we are eating nothing but chicken when I've snacked on a pat of butter wrapped in salami. I gained 20 lbs. after having severe Long COVID and all of my strength bounced back, but this weight gain has been impossible. I don't recognize myself anymore. I also live alone so there is nothing in my house that has carbs. I don't buy them. So cheating isn't even possible. I'm going to try the butter diet. This makes me so mad. I can beat most men in the gym with my strength. My hormones are all at normal levels. The only weird thing is this mystery diarrhea that nobody can explain. I'm getting a referral for a gastroenterologist. But give me a break! Just before COVID, I took a photo of my gorgeous muscular flat abs. I'm eating less carbs than I was back then! The fat is in weird new places too. It looks like I have a 4-pack and a fanny pack! I'm used to bigger thighs and bottom when I gain, but never this much weight when eating this strictly, and never in my abs.
Have you cut the dairy?
COVID changed my ability to lose weight. Was doing great until then. I was sick x 1 month. Steroids saved me and I think they wrecked me. I understand what you're saying
same age range and probs as you with belly fat I never used to have, I got rid of all dairy except butter, and 3 meals a day to keep my protein in smaller amounts at a sitting and the 15 lbs has come back off. I also avoid lunch meats, they bring back hormonal acne for me, and about a lb of water weight. My IBS completely left when I got the last of the one or two low carb veggies and the cheese out of my diet.
Heal your diarrhea. Try probiotics of the highest quality, made especially for the colon. Have you been on an antibiotic for the long covid? After a week, the bowel climate should normalize. Once you are back on track with your bowels you can start shifting portion sizes, fat, or even try walking or cardio for longer time to address weight. This is what helped me. Also, see if there are stressors in your life beyond food and exercise that may be triggering your issues and do your best to understand what these outliers are, and then make the corrections. Small changes, big results.
I have my suspicions about heavy cream causing issues with strange fat deposits in my own body, because it's so hard to find pure cream for my one cup of coffee that doesn't have Carageenan or other thickening or stabilizing agents in it (many are derived from algae and seaweed). It's also in a number of other dairy products and commercial nut milks that I used on other eating plans in my past. I have come to believe that half & half (no stabilizers) would be better for me even with 1g carbs for 2 Tbs in my coffee each morning because it's pure milk and cream without any additional junk, instead of cream with these additives.
Ketogenic woman highly recommended this interview. I always watch your interviews, but came over here fast as she said she had watched it twice to get the points. I agree.
Amazing interview and I loved the overall message. Thank you!!
I just spent over an hour talking to my doctor bc I brought up BB. We both love him❤❤❤
Man, I so appreciate Kelly. She is the most influential carnivore promoter out there imho.
And Dr. Bikman… absolutely the best! Almost could label any video he is in as “Follow The Science!”
I have been following Dr Bickman for years. So much wisdom. Thank you this interview 🤍
