thanks even mentioned this "Diseases of Civilization" in my last video "Weight Stalling Quit This" LOVE the Low Carb Down Under channel had seen that before great to watch everyone
Awesome! Thank you! really makes me happy to hear that :) and I will try to keep that up and have good info ! and congrats on the 7 weeks ! for me the first month was so slow the 2nd was so much more exciting :) and your in that now :)
I look to serious sometimes near the end or in some spots hahahahahah :) I do need new glasses and tend to squint now :) what is funny is my older glasses actually work better ! Hmmmm carnivore making my eyesight better ! YUP
Found you through the Kerry livestream. Loving your content! I’m 3 months in but at first only committed to 30 days of doing BBB&E and had great results. Then month 2 and 3, I reintroduced veggies slowly as I’m an avid gardener and my garden was starting to produce. However, aches and old symptoms are slowly creeping back so I may have to pick a new hobby or switch to flower gardens as opposed to veggie gardens. We shall see. This month I’m reverting back to a much cleaner carnivore lifestyle and 2 meals a day approach. I’ve lost 25 pounds so far with 40 to 45 more pounds to go.
hello and thanks :) intersting on the veggies then aches pains :) garden and give to neighbors maybe :) 25 already is good sure the other will come off and ya never know maybe more :)
I did 92 days of carnivore with only one slip near the beginning and I lost 40 pounds and had an excellent blood work report. However, I’ve struggled since falling off the wagon thanksgiving 2022. I’m trying to recommit myself to bbb&e. I’d love to try the lion diet for 30 days but I know i
Hey Chad, new subscriber. Came across you today on Kerry’s carnivore fundraiser. From your talk today I can tell I can learn a lot from you. Just saying hello.
*Back onto it (today is day 26 of strict carnivore with 2 or 3 coffees a day and lots of bacon and eggs!) and I'm doing 2MAD some days and OMAD others, trusting in the journey and NOT the scale! Thank you for this video.*
10 days carnivore and days 3-5 I had to white knuckle through the sugar cravings. They were intense and made me completely irrational. Thankful I'm passed that hopefully for good but we'll see. You deliver such great information and in a straight forward manner that I appreciate. Thank you!
@@ZacharyCath Yeah butter is good for me and helped boost my first year ! the aged cheese I will say you are lucky !!!! I will test cheese again here in a while and might just keep to the super hard aged ? Do you have a top 2 or 3 that you do well with?
@MinimalistCarnivore Yes, I mostly do sharp/extra sharp white cheddar. Really, anything aged 9+ months. Parmesan and Romano are also good as "topping" cheeses (ex. on eggs). For me, these have worked best. They provide a punch of natural flavor and contribute to satiety.
@@ZacharyCath thanks :) agree with the punch and satiety they do that quite well ! I know I tried the aged super sharp and still did me wrong so glad ya can do that :) I will I am a testing fanatic on myself as I enjoy that side finding the true optimum the other two I tried was the Gouda and Gruyère that were aged but have not done JUST parm or romano so might try that next time and those are really good parm might be my fav of all time anyway
❤well, I’ve been BBBE now for 11 weeks, 6/1. I’m type 2. Still feel terrible and haven’t had the successes like most. But I know my body is healing from the inside out!!! I gave up dairy and working on giving up sweeteners. I’m just hoping soon I start losing and my BS will come down. I know you can’t lose if your BS are high!!! My body has NO CHOICE but to change!!!
congrats on 6 weeks :) some kinda stall like this for longer :) some shorter also many of the Doctors say Women do not see results quite as quick as men do the cycling of hormones I think it was :) and something I want to try to do is find some more info on this :) I know even myself coming over from Keto had a dead month and I was like WHHHEEENNNNN ! :) keep us up to date please :)
Infinite love, light and gratitude for a great video, highlighting the beginning stages of this diet! I started the carnivore diet a few weeks ago! I noticed that my appetite diminished over time. I found myself eating once a day. I will come back and give a update on my journey!
I agree that snacking on cheese is not a great idea on keto. It's not very fulfilling and your body prefers its calories from other sources, like meat. I always have low carb beef sticks on hand. Much better alternative when you just need a few more calories. I went from a 3XL shirt down to a 1XLT in only 6 months. It works and the keys for me: 1. Always have keto-friendly food in the house. And have options. The second you're short on something and have to run to the store to eat, you'll be tempted by carbs. And some days, the food you've been eating for months all of a sudden won't look good to you. So make multiple meals ahead of time and store them. 2. Make sure friends and family know. Showing up to a get-together where there is just table after table of carbs sucks. Either eat beforehand or bring your own food. The more people that know, the easier keto is. 3. Once you've cut out all that sugar, even zero-sugar sodas or Gatorade will taste like candy to you. It can be a nice way to satisfy your sweet tooth and fill you up a bit.
nice feeling on the shirt size or was for me :) great tips also :) for #2 I do not go out tons but I also just eat a few hours before so I know I will be OK
My problem is eating enough. I get full so easily! I can eat a full plate of fish, shrimp, clams, etc, but beef seems to fill me up so FAST! And I love beef. I just need more of it. Im down 12lbs in 4 weeks, feel great, BP is lower now then when I was on BP meds! Anyway, great video! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing :) Does take a while to get used to eating so much but some still have to eat in a few meals :) Pretty wild my first few months like you loosing weight eating that much is kinda one of those odd WOW this whole time all I had to do was this and not go hungry :) For me that was the funny side of it OK I can eat so much and actually having a hard time eating enough as to so many things I tried always being hungry :)
@MinimalistCarnivore My family and friends just don't get it, but they can't argue my weight loss, my BP lower then when I was on meds, skin tags are gone or shrinking, I don't get those old person bruises when I bump my arm, I have energy to burn and I'm just a happier person! Thanks for your reply!
@@Deej496 hahahah can relate so much with that people see it but don't get it or want to accept its OK to eat this way or just say NO WAY :) or I love my _____ to much to give up Thanks :)
I'm day 14 carnivore tomorrow. I've already tried to go mostly lion diet. I gave up coffee earlier this year for lent and have never looked back. I started a video diary of my experiences, I'm vlogging every single day. Its been a interesting ride so far. This video has really helped me know what to look for and expect the next few months. Really glad I found you. I subbed.
Thanks so much ;) No coffee is tough hope it helps you as much as it did me :) Trust me hang on your 3 months and look forward to hearing more form ya :)
thanks so much for this video i'm a carnivore too but struggling with my old habits can't eat much in sugars if i do i get cramps swollen legs and acid reflux
yeah the habits are the tough one and some odd ones hang around A LONG time like opening a cupboard or fridge door ): hahahahah that one is funny how long it last and while you do it way later you go WOW that is funny
Thank you for that information. And just subscribed to your channel. I'm 5 weeks in and feel pretty good. Unfortunately I got Covid after 3 weeks, so the 4th week set me back a bit. But I'm back at it. I've lost 12lbs so far, but mostly doing it to feel better and address joint pain from my sedentary job. My joint pain is getting better, but Ivermectin did a number on my already achy joints. One issue I'm having is I'm still having diarrhea. I'm thinking it's from the Keto Chow daily minerals. I just stopped 2 days ago and I think it's getting better. One thing I'm hoping to get is the energy that guy from homesteadhal has. My energy levels still feel pretty low. Hoping it gets better as I continue.
thanks and sorry to hear about the vid ya got :( besides the 12 lbs have you noticed much else ? also curious what is your goal in how much you want to take off ? I know first month was slow for me was that 2nd and 3rd where it was more consistent and going to do one on that through month 6 and then I think the old habits start dying off and it was easier to keep going for me as I was so excited never had the keto chow and to step out on a limb :) not sure its needed once you get going ? but if you had super poor diet before I know some say things like liver get it mixed in ground beef to hide flavor can be good ? to me anything even marketed as keto or carnivore in a package I am leery of :) and again we have to decide what works for us ! but even Dr Chaffee beats home the just eat meat and unless you KNOW from blood work you are low in something most likely not needed but I am not a doctor :) I think the energy comes on over time I know we all show our energy different to :) but yeah he is energetic in a good way :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore Appreciate the reply. I don't think my energy levels are much better. The thing I've noticed most is that I don't wear out as fast in the gym and my joints are feeling a little better, but still not great. As far as how much weight I want to lose goes, I thought I wanted to lose 15 lbs, but after losing 12, I still have a good bit to lose. I have been the same weight (until recently);for the past 15 years, but I was fit until I got a desk job 4 years ago. I didn't realize I had lost as much muscle and gained as much fat as I have. I'm hoping the testosterone increases and I can gain some of that muscle back now that I'm eating better and exercising, but as far as fat loss, I need to lose at least 15 more pounds. I'm looking forward to this journey. I appreciate the content you have so far and look forward to that video you mentioned. Thank you for the good advice!
@@jessejohns4783 :) only 5 weeks :) I say my first month was slow going not much happening at least the weight loss you need is not to bad so more just feeling better sounds like I know we all have dif outcomes but my last 20 lbs to loose took MONTHS ! was so slow but I had lost over 80 by that time but it kept coming off and I kept gaining more and more in other areas and got back to what I was ! will be curious what ya feel like at 3 months and 6 months and if that keeps ya motivated to make a year :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore Yeah, my goal is mostly to feel better. My desk job has made me feel like a slug. I'm not planning to stop anytime soon. I don't miss the veggies and other types of food. The results I've seen so far and experiences from other people are enough to keep me going. I haven't watched all of your videos but I'd be curious about your journey and the weightloss, issues that have been solved by this diet, and your overall journey.
@@jessejohns4783 yeah need to make one on my story overall :) and thanks :) I know looking back at this I take a bit dif view than some to me this is a big mental game for most its easy to just eat meat its not complicated you do not need special gear but for some snacking is a emotional response and they need to dig in and find that and try to change that the how we look at food yes its fuel but steak can be awesome and its almost like it resets every day and you love it as much every day (most not all)
I started the carnivore diet this past Monday from a HIGH carb diet. I have been fortunate enough to have little to no carb withdrawals during my first week and I have found it quite easy to get into (more than likely due to my electrolyte consumption according to most carnivore advocates, and my younger age of 26). I have always been a meat person. I would eat meat EVERY day, but I had plenty of terrible snacks and loads of bread. The only side effect I am having is the diarrhea from my gut microbiome adjusting to this lifestyle. Your channel and a few others like KenDberryMD helped to guide me through my first week and I thank you 🙏. Yalls channels are a godsend and I appreciate all of you. I will continue to watch all of the content y'all put out as I crush this lifestyle change. All I ask for is prayers for my porcelain queen (my toilet) 😂.
good to hear the transition sounds OK so far as Joe Rogan called it rocket fuel coming out of his .... yeah that goes away luckily :) your porcelain throne will be happy :) and so glad to have provided some help :) and thanks so much :)
I am on day nine.minimal cramping,no diarrhea my skin is amazing was moisturizing 3 times a day to keep the dry skin at bay. Once is enough now. Mornings i feel like i am 90 years old. Everything aches but it subsides after a few hours will this eventually fade away
Thanks for sharing!! sure the feeling 90 will start to turn around and if not look into electrolytes ? as getting up without being hydrated can sometimes do that when I test cheese out mornings are never as good for me as when I am without dairy ! so maybe try to cut back dairy see if that helps ? we just have to test what is working for ourselves I feel and all the comments here and other YT confirm we are all on our own journey finding folks we can relate to that have done it can help also many things do have a common base across us all for the most part like most feel better with less dairy and most notice the puffiness inflammation dairy can bring as one example ;) those for sure are tips tricks for all :)
7 weeks carnivore bbbe 1 meal a day and have not cheated once and have lost exactly zero pounds yes zero explain that one because I don’t understand what’s going on
congrats on the 7 no cheat even if ya do who cares move forward kinda thing :) very cool to hear as far as the weight ? only what I hear and some from docs like Ken berry or Chaffee the body does what it needs to and for me that was a month nothing happening ? some like you longer some shorter but also its the focus on how you feel and look how do your clothes fit are you active ? putting on muscle weighs more than fat so can sometimes kinda seem like its not coming off often the first bit on carnivore is water weight also so could be you are just staying hydrated well enough so again go by fit of clothes how you feel and look more so than scale I think :)
You may be healing from the inside out!!!! Keep going...see where you can tweak what you're doing. Keep encouraged. Anything you do to better your health is a win!!!!!!🎉
My problem is that I started out saying, and I cannot afford to lose more weight. But I’m losing weight. What can I do? I travel quite a bit. If I go to restaurants three times a day for a steak, it’ll cost a fortune. I cannot find precise advice about what to eat and in what quantities, just generalities: beef butter eggs. I’m full on three eggs. My stomach is not big. I’m also very low energy on this diet. I’m looking for practical advice.
hello :) Carrie is trying to put on weight www.youtube.com/@MyMeatomorphosis am going to have a interview with her soon you might take a while to get new satiated signals on what full is and get better at eating more it does take some a while and till then eating when hungry might be a few times a day DOES not have to be the OMAD or 2MAD you hear many doing Laura Spath does a lot of eating out and she has some great what she eats when out tips on her channel that might help as far as how much most truly say eat when hungry eat till satiated but if you had to put a marker on it 1gram of protein per ideal body weight and the fat start at around 1:1 in weight so if you are say 160 and want to be 180 aim for that 180 grams of protein since fat is higher in calories for that 1 gram it puts you in about that 65% and above ratito many go a bit higher you do not want to be eating to lean better to lean toward to much fat and reduce IMHO but does take a bit to find that ratio that your body needs low energy sometimes is drinking more water this diet without the carbs does not hold as much water also some say drink electrolytes try to avoid the sweetened ones :) just healthier IMHO salt to taste has always worked for me and not needing electrolytes but we are all different :) hope that helps :)
curious - I haven't lost weight yet and it's been about a month - I haven't been perfect in the month but definitely far better than I was for the past year... how long of a "streak" do you need for your body to start letting go of weight ?
me it was a month a few in the comments are on week 7 and 9 and they had other things happen lost inches feel better but not lost weight I do say focus on how you feel and look over weight and Dr Chaffee says that and so do most of the others like me speaking from our own experience some loose for a year then stall for 6 months on rare occasions some have lost 265 lbs in less than a year no stall ? give it 3 months then say OK do I feel better do I look better and how are my clothes fitting is a great gauge to go by :) then worry about the weight :)
for some it is maybe to clarify :) because its NOT ruminant why many do not like it as what they eat goes more into the meat than ruminant animals and pigs are fed a insane amount of grain feed and soy products etc.. for me pig was HUGE in the islands I ate more wild pig and while I was not carnivore I never noticed issues ! some say pigs raised eaten natural food they should be eating is much better and they do OK with it where not the mainstream store stuff :) I do want to try to get some good truly clean pig but my downside is the cost is up to what beef is and I know I do well on beef I can eat it with some beef but on its own I never feel as well and I know some others say eating to much can upset their stomach so hope that helped answer more :) and thanks for asking :)

to think sugar can make you go through that : kinda wild in itself huh

Agree with everything you just said.
Personally I don't lose weight at all when I include dairy.
thanks :) yeah I find it funny now being stable it immediately goes back up 4-5 lbs and that is just from a week of testing it!
Interesting! It definitely varies. Butter and aged cheese seem to promote weight loss in my case.
@@ZacharyCath Yeah butter is good for me and helped boost my first year !

Thank you for that information. And just subscribed to your channel. I'm 5 weeks in and feel pretty good. Unfortunately I got Covid after 3 weeks, so the 4th week set me back a bit.

thanks and sorry to hear about the vid ya got :(
besides the 12 lbs have you noticed much else ? also curious what is your goal in how much you want to take off ?
I know first month was slow for me was that 2nd and 3rd where it was more consistent and going to do one on that through month 6 and then I think the old habits start dying off and it was easier to keep going for me as I was so excited
never had the keto chow and to step out on a limb :) not sure its needed once you get going ? but if you had super poor diet before I know some say things like liver get it mixed in ground beef to hide flavor can be good ?
to me anything even marketed as keto or carnivore in a package I am leery of :) and again we have to decide what works for us !
but even Dr Chaffee beats home the just eat meat and unless you KNOW from blood work you are low in something most likely not needed but I am not a doctor :)
I think the energy comes on over time I know we all show our energy different to :) but yeah he is energetic in a good way :)

and so glad to have provided some help :)
and thanks so much :)
thank you
You're welcome
I am on day nine.minimal cramping,no diarrhea my skin is amazing was moisturizing 3 times a day to keep the dry skin at bay. Once is enough now. Mornings i feel like i am 90 years old. Everything aches but it subsides after a few hours will this eventually fade away
Thanks for sharing!!
sure the feeling 90 will start to turn around
and if not look into electrolytes ? as getting up without being hydrated can sometimes do that
when I test cheese out mornings are never as good for me as when I am without dairy !
so maybe try to cut back dairy see if that helps ?
we just have to test what is working for ourselves I feel
and all the comments here and other YT confirm we are all on our own journey finding folks we can relate to that have done it can help also many things do have a common base across us all for the most part like most feel better with less dairy and most notice the puffiness inflammation dairy can bring as one example ;) those for sure are tips tricks for all :)
7 weeks carnivore bbbe 1 meal a day and have not cheated once and have lost exactly zero pounds yes zero explain that one because I don’t understand what’s going on
congrats on the 7 no cheat even if ya do who cares move forward kinda thing :) very cool to hear
as far as the weight ? only what I hear and some from docs like Ken berry or Chaffee
the body does what it needs to and for me that was a month nothing happening ? some like you longer some shorter
but also its the focus on how you feel and look how do your clothes fit are you active ? putting on muscle weighs more than fat so can sometimes kinda seem like its not coming off
often the first bit on carnivore is water weight also so could be you are just staying hydrated well enough
so again go by fit of clothes how you feel and look more so than scale I think :)
You may be healing from the inside out!!!! Keep going...see where you can tweak what you're doing. Keep encouraged. Anything you do to better your health is a win!!!!!!🎉
My problem is that I started out saying, and I cannot afford to lose more weight. But I’m losing weight. What can I do? I travel quite a bit. If I go to restaurants three times a day for a steak, it’ll cost a fortune. I cannot find precise advice about what to eat and in what quantities, just generalities: beef butter eggs. I’m full on three eggs. My stomach is not big. I’m also very low energy on this diet. I’m looking for practical advice.
hello :)
Carrie is trying to put on weight
www.youtube.com/@MyMeatomorphosis
am going to have a interview with her soon
you might take a while to get new satiated signals on what full is and get better at eating more it does take some a while
and till then eating when hungry might be a few times a day DOES not have to be the OMAD or 2MAD you hear many doing
Laura Spath does a lot of eating out and she has some great what she eats when out tips on her channel that might help
as far as how much most truly say eat when hungry eat till satiated
but if you had to put a marker on it 1gram of protein per ideal body weight and the fat start at around 1:1 in weight
so if you are say 160 and want to be 180 aim for that 180 grams of protein
since fat is higher in calories for that 1 gram it puts you in about that 65% and above ratito many go a bit higher
you do not want to be eating to lean better to lean toward to much fat and reduce IMHO
but does take a bit to find that ratio that your body needs
low energy sometimes is drinking more water this diet without the carbs does not hold as much water also some say drink electrolytes try to avoid the sweetened ones :) just healthier IMHO
salt to taste has always worked for me and not needing electrolytes but we are all different :)
hope that helps :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore Thank you. I appreciate it.
curious - I haven't lost weight yet and it's been about a month - I haven't been perfect in the month but definitely far better than I was for the past year... how long of a "streak" do you need for your body to start letting go of weight ?
me it was a month a few in the comments are on week 7 and 9 and they had other things happen lost inches feel better but not lost weight
I do say focus on how you feel and look over weight and Dr Chaffee says that and so do most of the others like me speaking from our own experience
some loose for a year then stall for 6 months on rare occasions
some have lost 265 lbs in less than a year no stall ?
give it 3 months then say OK do I feel better do I look better and how are my clothes fitting is a great gauge to go by :) then worry about the weight :)
hi
What did you find that eggs did to you?
itchy skin sometimes turn into dry flaky skin and sometimes they would really hit my gut in a bad way !
thanks :)
why is pork contraversial? thank you.
for some it is maybe to clarify :) because its NOT ruminant why many do not like it
as what they eat goes more into the meat than ruminant animals and pigs are fed a insane amount of grain feed and soy products etc..
for me pig was HUGE in the islands I ate more wild pig and while I was not carnivore I never noticed issues ! some say pigs raised eaten natural food they should be eating is much better and they do OK with it where not the mainstream store stuff :)
I do want to try to get some good truly clean pig but my downside is the cost is up to what beef is and I know I do well on beef
I can eat it with some beef but on its own I never feel as well and I know some others say eating to much can upset their stomach
so hope that helped answer more :) and thanks for asking :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore thank you.
