Laura please look up the side effects of these weight loss drugs that are in the news lately. The side effect list is horrific including cancer. Back in the late 1980's there was a push of a Rx weight loss drug called Phen Phen (not sure if that's the correct spelling). Then a few years later there was a massive class action suit against this company for killing people. I feel these latest Rx weight loss drugs will head in the same direction. No one needs to be on those drugs have you seen Sharon Osborne...she looks so skinny with a huge head and looks sick now while being on these weight loss Drugs. Even her family told her to quite the weight loss drug.
Never mind about the innocent baby animals that screamed and begged to be saved by their mom and dads. Never mind how much cruelty you pay for. You just get that saturated fat and cholesterol in ya so we will have less carnies to worry about you heartless creeps
Laura and Chris, in Jan 2023 I came across your videos by chance. I was curious and I watched some of them and then I found a video where you showed Chris reversing Type 2 diabetes and losing weight. That started me on the carnivore lifestyle journey on Jan 12, 2023. I am a few weeks away from 1 year. It has profoundly changed my life for the better. Thank you both so much for getting the message out. I connected with Chris' story because mine is similar. I reversed by type 2 diabetes in less than 4 months and was off of all the many medications in about 5 weeks. I lost 80 pounds in that time too. This week I hit 180 (I too am 6 feet tall), a weight I hadn't experienced sin e I was in my early 20s (I am 50 now). I had been morbidly obese for 25 years. My metabolic health has been restored. I feel great! Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with severe stenosis of my aortic value this summer, which I was born with and that caused my aortic root to swell to the point of being an aneurysm, which is a serious condition. I was struggling to decide to have surgery. My 23 year old daughter told me that she thinks I was meant to find carnivore so that I would be healthy enough to have this open heart surgery. Almost 2 weeks ago, I had the surgery and it was a great success. Had I not found carnivore, my doctor said my risks would have been high and the surgery would have been very difficult and taken more than it did. I was told at the hospital that I had the lowest hA1C of any open heart surgery patient in their 14 year history. My A1C was 5.1 tested just before the operation. Thank you both so much! One day I would like to thank both of you in-person. God bless you both!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your experience this will help people that are unsure if carnivore will work for them, and for those that just started like me is great motivation. 🙏
I learned, in my 4th week of Carnivore, that OMAD wasn't working for me. 1 big meal a day at 1:00 pm-ish left me full all the rest of the day and night and into the following day. I was still full, so couldn't eat much the next day. I wasn't getting enough nutrition and I stalled.....So I switched to 2 meals a day and that is working much better. Every one is different, so you have to see what works best for you. Im doing great! Lots of energy, BP NORMAL without my meds! And at age 68, I must say, I m looking much more restful and my once girlish glow is back. 😊 Great video! Thank you.
Dr. Jordan Peterson interviewed a researcher who said that the carnivore diet induces autophagy in the same way as fasting, so by doing carnivore, fasting is unnecessary. I don't do fasting, but I've been losing a pound every two or three days. I'm hoping autophagy is occurring, too.
Y’all are the carnivore “it” couple in our house! My husband and I have been carnivore since Jan 2022 because of your videos. Love seeing both of you, and thank you both for all of the encouragement!
My favorite Carnivore couple! Chris is one of my inspirations. I'm not a fan of the "sponsored by" but I get it. I can look past it because you two keep it simple and don't overedit. I am not a moderator either and not a fan of the dogmatic extremes in this community. Kent Carnivore puts out amazing mini documentaries without telethons...lol. Also, make sure you are watching Carnivores that have actually lost weight, became healthy, and most importantly, kept it off. You guys look great!
I'm just on my second week on the diet, first week was so hard, but by today I realised when I went shopping, I bypassed everything I use to pick up, all the crisps, cakes and bread, without even thinking about it. I've started watching your video's from when you first started. You have helped me so much, so thank you, I lost 5lb this past week, so thank you ❤
Love your channel!! My husband and I are you two....5 years ago! Just starting our carnivore journey...hope we have the same amazing results you two have had and can maintain it Thank you for all your advice and encouragement 💗
This is my biggest challenge! I had VSG almost 9 years ago so am only able to eat 4 oz’s at a time. I find I keep cooked burgers, meat sticks, hard boiled eggs, chaffel & meat sandwiches as well as cheese readily available. I eat a bit (1/2 burger or chaffel sandwich) then about 4 hrs later eat a bit more. I might eat several times a day typically late afternoon & evening but no way can I do Omar or Fasting.
Same here…had VSG 11 years ago…have 35 to 40 pounds to lose. Going to try carnivore but wondered about getting enough protein in each day. I also, can only eat about 4 ozs at a time. But to eat several times a day is a great idea. Thank you.
Wow, this was such a helpful video! I am brand new to the carnivore diet. Today is day seven for me. I really appreciate your help! Thank you very much!
Great info! Makes so much sense! Thanks! I believe I under eat a lot and my weight loss is soooo slowwwww this put it into a better perspective for me ❤
So appreciate how "real" your videos are. Coming up on just a month of doing carnivore, your videos have been a wealth of encouragement and information.
Fantastic advice! I eat 3 meals Mon,Wed,Fri,Sat and fast the other 3 days. I do my lifting on Mon/Sat mornings to ensure I'm getting a lot of protein back in my system after a hard workout. Otherwise just a 1 hour easy walk every other morning if the weather is nice and cardio/conditioning in the evening doing some Karate 3 days a week. Just trying to convince my SO to join me at this point! Consistency is what is working for me.
Great video. Like you guys, I’m also a natural born eater lol! Carnivore is perfect for me because even prior to starting it my biggest cravings were a big marbled steak or a fatty lamb roast. I never craved pizza, pasta or fried foods. This food plan called carnivore is a dream come true for me!
Love the advice from both of you!!!!...always interested in what you guys have to share!!!...thank you for your channel and help with all of us out here trying to get healthy!!!....💕💕💕
You two are such a good looking couple. We enjoy hearing from both of you. We would love to see each of you talk about what you each and maybe show a cooking video now and then from each of you seperately. That way we have both prospectives. Thanks to both of you.
You guys are so amazing. I've been inspired by you and started watching 2 weeks ago almost 3 weeks ago. I've already lost 10 lb. Probably a lot of water weight but I'm so inspired and you have so much information. Thank you for all you put out there it's changing my life
Thank you guys for this video , I am relatively new to the carnivore lifestyle but did keto for 3 months prior. I am 6ft tall weighing 280lbs down from 307lbs but also aiming for a target 180lbs but really struggle with the amount of fat to eat to ensure my body burns fat from my fat store rather than what I eat.
And thank you for all your content also I’m Turning 60 this year so I want to eat healthier I lost over 50lbs from fasting ok thanks again for you content
The one thing that confused me in the beginning....grams of protein is not measured by the weight of the meat you eat. I wonder if others had this misconception ?
I had started undereating and started having extreme anxiety . . . took me a week or two to realize it was from not eating enough. One meal solved the anxiety issue.
@@general.invictus if you should be consuming 1800 cals+ for baseline function but consume 1500 over an extended period of time, regardless of the number of meals . . . you are in deficit; If that makes sense?
@carver233Calories represent the energy given off of foods in a lab setting. They have nothing to do with how our bodies process food. I don't know who you're listening to re: 1500 calories per day, but stop listening. I've never eaten OMAD regularly. Occasionally I'm not hungry for a 2nd and sometimes I'm hungry a 3rd.
Thanks for the info, you have to play with it on the carnivore lifestyle, it just is what it is. I understand that and appreciate your information. Like Dr Berry says he gives you the tools, and we have to fix our own "ish"! Lol Hey there's no cookie cutter plan for anyone, we're all dealing with different health issues, but I do appreciate you giving us kind of a blueprint of what has worked for you, and what you could see be a challenge, is very beneficial and appreciate you both! 🙏🏽💜💪🏾😍🙌🏾🔥
Took me 5 months on Carnivore to realise that I need to mesure my calories in order to lose bodyfat, did dropped 10 pounds regardless but I have 40 pounds more to lose. I wish I haven't listed to dr. Berry's BS and found this channel so I wouldn't waste so much time but we live and learn. Keep the great job!
Thanks Laura and Chris! This was great! I just started prioritizing protein and switched to leaner beef and adding having whole eggs (as opposed to just yolks), and a can of sardines every day. I think that I can build some muscle and lean out, with this adjustment. I recently increased overall nutrient intake, because I felt that I was under eating. However, I gained a few pounds back. I think it was because I was eating a lot of fatty meat with butter on top. Now, I just need to eat enough because protein is filling, and I need to make sure I don't skimp on fat intake.
I agree, whole eggs are a must with carnivore. Regarding the leaner meats you had mentioned.. everyone is different, I get that. But I actually started with leaner cuts of red meat and over time experienced serious digestive issues. Personally if I were you I would continue with the fattier cuts and cut back on the butter. If you like and can eat small amounts of diary, spreading goat or blue cheese over red meat is a nice hack. I do that sometimes too as I struggle with eating plain ground beef by itself. Good luck!
@@rjo8500Thank you for your experiences and suggestions! I'm kind of doing what you mentioned with not going too lean, all the time, and I added Bleu cheese to the mix. Thanks again!
Good informational video. I think some days I do not eat enough protein. I eat at 0900 and 1500 daily except Sunday's. I eat after Church 1200-1230 and 1500/1600.
I'm eating a HUGE quantity of food right now and dropping weight easily. My background is four years of atypical anorexia. I was so tormented by sexual trauma that i fasted to the degree of nearly going in a coma from low blood sugar because I was fasting way too much. In June i went to the hospital with chest pain and palpitations, and from then on I made my mind up to go carnivore. I'm going through excessive hunger right now. I'm eating such huge quantities, and I just keep losing weight. I try to focus on health, and not weight loss. I'm hoping soon I'll be free of excessive hunger. I don't have set meal times. It's really helping my to be well and happy. I had a set back recently, but with carnivore it's helping me to fight the illness in a way I never could. It's an answer to a million prayers.
I like you guys very much. You are so very real I am quite amazed though as to how many people on UA-cam LMNT are sponsoring. I personally can't afford the stuff but I really like the content you put out.
Definitely starved myself if vegetarian depletes instead of fuels .. I stick to it for 5 years and lost zero pounds .. had issues going to the bathroom .. been carnivore only 11 days .. what I’ve noticed .. it’s hard to eat enough .. I still struggle to go to the bathroom but they just said .. if you have depleted your body for so long, it’s Going to take time!
I stalled after dropping almost 40# for months, but I felt better so I just continued. Now, I’ve gained 12#! I’m trying to switch up my food. I’m waking up at 1-2am wide awake and I cannot get back to sleep. 😢 my hair is super thin too. I usually eat 2 eggs and a protein cooked in butter. Ribeye with a side of chicken drumsticks. I’ve started cutting my steaks in half and adding a tiny slice of butter and started putting a pat of burnt butter in my 1 coffee. I’m sticking to this no matter what. This is month 10! ❤
I had similar symptoms as you especially with the thinning hair. Whats frustrating with the carnivore community is with every ailment its suggested to eat more fat and electrolytes which im sure is true. Ive started eating more pickled veggies and stewa for GAPs diet and feel better. I think all meat is too restrictive
That was happening to me too I wasn’t eating enough protein! Track what you’re eating and calories. I didn’t for the first 2 years of carnivore. If you have enough fat on your body you don’t need to eat so much fat butter will just make you gain weight. Also, you can try eating much leaner meats. That’s what I do now and I’m losing weight again. I do ground beef, 93/7 I eat scrambled eggs. You should eat more than two eggs that’s really not enough, you may be under eating. I also do sirloin now with no butter ribeyes are a treat for me now, and so is bacon.
Agreed, when I wasn't eating enough protein my hair was falling out. Eating only 2 eggs and a half a ribeye in a day is drastically undereating. There are also things that Carnivore can't fix, there can be underlying issues NOT caused by food. Carnivore just eliminates any issues that are being caused by food (which is most metabolic issues), but it's not magic and can't cure everything.
I have gained 5 in 3 weeks on carnivore. been keto for 7 years lost 100. Now trying no sugar free drinks and no nuts ( I could live on nuts) but now gaining weight. Uggh
It gives me the greatest pleasure to fast forward through the inevitable LMNT commercial. Thanks for the chance to do it. You carnivore folks never let me down!
Kind of went carnivore because I was told I have sensitivities to poultry, corn, gluten, sugar. I’m eating veggies way more and red meats. However I’m underweight. So I’m hoping this helps with weight gain. I find myself desiring food now. And excited to make food, enjoying food. It’s so strange but glad to be back with a healthy mindset for food
You can mess around with adding / decreasing your fat intake (if your protein intake is accounted for). I currently use tallow (beef fat) on my meats and eggs.
I can’t eat as much as you’ve suggested in the past.. and I didn’t lose weight either. I also don’t lost weight when I eat a ton of butter like others. I have to stick to 1300-1500 cal a day to lose weight at 210 lbs. that’s worked for the last 60 lbs so I encourage others not to be discouraged if what’s suggested doesn’t work.
Love your channel, great info and presentation. The price of LMNT is just criminal. Making up your own mix from individual ingredients is so much cheaper and perhaps using natural salt would be better.
Thank you both so very much for coming together and sharing different perspectives in a very simplistic way. I'm kind of new to this and often there's so much confusion and complexity you almost wanted to say forget it. These type of videos with the both of you was very helpful.
You guys look GREAT! You don't even look like the same people in your BEFORE photos. Your transformation has been AWESOME! (I'm like you guys when it comes to EATING. I can eat ALL the time! The ONLY times I'm NOT hungry is when I have something like the flu. I can out eat most men.)
My husband and I are starting this on the first of this month. I have 70 pounds to loose. My husband is 345 pounds and is 5'9 and has been obese since a small child. But he has no other health issues. Weird! But we have been on many diets diligently. The weight always comes back. But yes, we know it's because of going back to wrong eating.
That all makes good sense. I'm only 60 days on carnivore but I've done Atkins/keto/IF off and on for over 20 years. Btw I used you promo to try some LMNT.
So many people are saying high protein has caused them a lot of health problems and they regret listening to folks tell them to eat more and more protein. Not sure what’s the right thing to do.
I feel extremely hunger in carnivore diet, my bodyweight is 64KG, H162cm, Body Fat 22.8%, i ate one meal a day with 10pcs of whole eggs, one whole block of butter, 100gm pork belly, 6 Chicken wings still not enough for me 😢, Sometimes I will add another 100gm of pork belly. I want my muscles look more defined.
I am new to carnivore. A week in, I am having a hard time eating enough. I’ve been fasting and even after fasting for 40 hours I eat a few bites of eggs and steak with lots of butter and I don’t want anymore…
I find that on keto-vore I naturally under-eat as I feel satisfied. I don't eat under my recommended calorie figure by a lot and not every day but it does happen fairly frequently.
You 2 are FABULOUS and I actually subscribed pretty close to when you had just started here on UA-cam... I am wondering is it 1 gram per pound of what you WANT to weigh, or your current weight? I'm currently in a keto stall and am about to go watch your video on that when I'm done with this one, lol! Thank you so much for all the great content and info!
I just started carnivore 3 days ago and eat only steak, ground beef, eggs, seafood and drink water. I use the Kerry Gold butter and Kinder seasoning and LMNT. I have already noticed I'm less hungry and don't need to eat the next day until 3 pm - 5 pm and I have more energy. I weigh 286 and I'm 5'10'' and I'm trying to lose 100 pounds.
Dr westman recommends on keto to not overdo on fat , I know this goes against everything people say , but he has a practice over 20 years experience, does anyone over a 100 pounds to loose actually know when to? I don't
I was wondering how your husband is doing with diabetes is he healed from it, the reason is my husband needs help we are carnivore for 1 year as of December but he is taking insulin day time and slow acting night time. They had him on Metformin but we took him off that and put him on Berberine more natural herbs. We eat meat, eggs, butter but we still have beans once every two months home made. But we mostly eat meat and eggs a lot.
I've been undereating for years and am obese. Doing Ketovore for a few weeks, realizing it's hard to eat enough protein because I feel so full. It'll be easy to fast, not really hungry this week. Trying to add a little more each day. Thanks for the goal of 1g/lb ideal body weight.
I eat or average 2 times a day to eat. found out that eggs do have some carbs in each egg so I never eat eggs every day. chicken drumsticks are my go to protein. only $1.48 a pound and I love the skin.
@@LauraSpath I SAW HOW YOU TRADED A RENTED MINI VAN BACK IN FOR A CAR CAUSE OF BAD GAS MILAGE. I DRIVE A HONDA ODYSSEY HERE IN JOSHUA TREE CA. I'M GETTING KILLED ON GAS AT $6.30 A GALLON. I NEED TO GET A MOTORCYCLE LICENSE AND DRIVE A KAWASAKI NINJA 400 AS MY FULL TIME TRANSPORTATION. THEY GET 65 MILES TO THE GALLON VS MAYBE 10 A GET IN THE MINI VAN. USED PRIUS ARE EXPENSIVE HERE IN CA.
Love this information! I have no appetite on strict carnivore. I am allergic to dairy. So i have no female cycle and crash my thyroid even more when strict carnivore. So my doctor has me do animal based. I always focus on meat and eggs and then if need to i will have a little nature carbs to ovulate and have my period. My body loves beef tallow and coconut products, so try and eat enough to get sufficient calories. I think if i could eat dairy i probably could be strict. I know i do way too much fasting, but i don't feel good when i eat.
I usually have three eggs and two slices of bacon for my first meal and about 8 to 12 oz of ground beef or other beef if I have any for my second meal. Maybe I'm not eating enough but I struggle to afford more than that.
I did this in 2021 and I'm still on the mostly carnivore diet. I'm not exactly 100% but close. I don't pretend to be an expert at any of this but I shed 52 pounds and kept it off. My biggest problem is definately getting enough protein. It's very hard for me.
Congratulations! In the end results are what matter most. I too have to work harder at the protein game. I keep deviled or hard boiled eggs readily available in the fridge and also a cooked ribeye that I can cut and reheat to snack on. I do this because I want the optimal amount of daily protein but I’m unable to eat massive meals in one sitting. I also found starting my meals earlier in the day gives me more time to consume enough protein. I try to hit three meals a day which seems to work best for me and my weightlifting. Good luck!
Im confused by something Chris said. I could have misunderstood but I thought he said one gram of protein per ideal body weight. So if I want to be 150 lb I should eat 150 g of protein per day. If that is correct, I should only be eating a third of a pound of protein per day. That would be like a 5 and 1/2 oz steak? And that's it for the whole day? I just want to be sure I understood what he said

Just started carnivore, thank you so much for all the info I really appreciate it. You guys look great, I can't wait to see where this takes me.
What I don’t get is, do I have to force myself to eat when I’m not hungry to try to meet my macro goal for the day?
Are we not intuitive eating?

I am doing 20/4 in my 3 weeks still not results but will see
I also heard that you can't absorb all the protein you need in one go.. so yeah, omad probably doesn't work, especially as we age n need more protein!

I just started carnivore today 01/01/2024. I only ate 2x today. I am not hungry. But I am starting to feel the keto flu and fatigue. Great video !
Try cutting down on fat. The only times I have a problem are when I eat too much fat.
Wow, this was such a helpful video! I am brand new to the carnivore diet. Today is day seven for me. I really appreciate your help! Thank you very much!
This is so funny, I just a couple hours ago searched you because id noticed it had been awhile seen a new post from you, and here you are!
This was short and sweet!! I am seriously thinking of following in your footsteps as I eat some Cheetos wish me luck!!
I would love to see a video dedicated to carnivore snacks. Enjoy your channel!
Great info! Makes so much sense! Thanks! I believe I under eat a lot and my weight loss is soooo slowwwww this put it into a better perspective for me ❤
This was very helpful! Thanks for teaching us
So appreciate how "real" your videos are. Coming up on just a month of doing carnivore, your videos have been a wealth of encouragement and information.
Thanks so much. I think I need to listen again with pen and paper.
I love the practicality of your advice.
Thank you, both for excellent advice‼️Stay safe & well❣️😊
Fantastic advice! I eat 3 meals Mon,Wed,Fri,Sat and fast the other 3 days. I do my lifting on Mon/Sat mornings to ensure I'm getting a lot of protein back in my system after a hard workout. Otherwise just a 1 hour easy walk every other morning if the weather is nice and cardio/conditioning in the evening doing some Karate 3 days a week. Just trying to convince my SO to join me at this point! Consistency is what is working for me.
Thank you both! I have been carnivore and long stall this has been Very helpful
Thanks so much for these amazing tips and hints. I appreciate you guys and your channel!

Good advice, guys thanks. I have been so tired lately, and this video reminds me that I need more protein and more healthy fat.
I’m one of those that too much protein will turn to glucose. 5-8 Oz is maximum. I balance fat/protein/carbs and it works for me.
Great video from the 2 of you❤
You guys are so amazing. I've been inspired by you and started watching 2 weeks ago almost 3 weeks ago. I've already lost 10 lb. Probably a lot of water weight but I'm so inspired and you have so much information. Thank you for all you put out there it's changing my life
I was just looking for a new video from you and wondering why the last one was two weeks ago. Perfect timing!
What a handsome couple you are ❤ always better to do it "together" it makes the process so much easier.
Love seeing more of Chris, I show my hubby that men are really doing this and getting help...
Thank you and Chris for such great information. You both are such an inspiration!
Thank you guys for this video , I am relatively new to the carnivore lifestyle but did keto for 3 months prior. I am 6ft tall weighing 280lbs down from 307lbs but also aiming for a target 180lbs but really struggle with the amount of fat to eat to ensure my body burns fat from my fat store rather than what I eat.
Greta video! Love to see u as a couple 🎉
And thank you for all your content also I’m
Turning 60 this year so I want to eat healthier I lost over 50lbs from fasting ok thanks again for you content
Thx for sharing! I always enjoy your videos.
The one thing that confused me in the beginning....grams of protein is not measured by the weight of the meat you eat. I wonder if others had this misconception ?
Fitness Pal is helpful to make sure your hitting your macros and also calories.
You’re both so inspiring ❤
Thank you! Great info!
I had started undereating and started having extreme anxiety . . . took me a week or two to realize it was from not eating enough. One meal solved the anxiety issue.
So you ate two meals?
@@general.invictus if you should be consuming 1800 cals+ for baseline function but consume 1500 over an extended period of time, regardless of the number of meals . . . you are in deficit; If that makes sense?
@carver233Calories represent the energy given off of foods in a lab setting. They have nothing to do with how our bodies process food. I don't know who you're listening to re: 1500 calories per day, but stop listening. I've never eaten OMAD regularly. Occasionally I'm not hungry for a 2nd and sometimes I'm hungry a 3rd.
As always, great content. Thank you!
Thanks for the info, you have to play with it on the carnivore lifestyle, it just is what it is. I understand that and appreciate your information. Like Dr Berry says he gives you the tools, and we have to fix our own "ish"! Lol Hey there's no cookie cutter plan for anyone, we're all dealing with different health issues, but I do appreciate you giving us kind of a blueprint of what has worked for you, and what you could see be a challenge, is very beneficial and appreciate you both! 🙏🏽💜💪🏾😍🙌🏾🔥
Took me 5 months on Carnivore to realise that I need to mesure my calories in order to lose bodyfat, did dropped 10 pounds regardless but I have 40 pounds more to lose. I wish I haven't listed to dr. Berry's BS and found this channel so I wouldn't waste so much time but we live and learn. Keep the great job!
Thanks Laura and Chris! This was great! I just started prioritizing protein and switched to leaner beef and adding having whole eggs (as opposed to just yolks), and a can of sardines every day. I think that I can build some muscle and lean out, with this adjustment. I recently increased overall nutrient intake, because I felt that I was under eating. However, I gained a few pounds back. I think it was because I was eating a lot of fatty meat with butter on top. Now, I just need to eat enough because protein is filling, and I need to make sure I don't skimp on fat intake.
I agree, whole eggs are a must with carnivore. Regarding the leaner meats you had mentioned.. everyone is different, I get that. But I actually started with leaner cuts of red meat and over time experienced serious digestive issues. Personally if I were you I would continue with the fattier cuts and cut back on the butter. If you like and can eat small amounts of diary, spreading goat or blue cheese over red meat is a nice hack. I do that sometimes too as I struggle with eating plain ground beef by itself. Good luck!
@@rjo8500Thank you for your experiences and suggestions! I'm kind of doing what you mentioned with not going too lean, all the time, and I added Bleu cheese to the mix. Thanks again!
Good informational video. I think some days I do not eat enough protein. I eat at 0900 and 1500 daily except Sunday's. I eat after Church 1200-1230 and 1500/1600.
I'm eating a HUGE quantity of food right now and dropping weight easily. My background is four years of atypical anorexia. I was so tormented by sexual trauma that i fasted to the degree of nearly going in a coma from low blood sugar because I was fasting way too much. In June i went to the hospital with chest pain and palpitations, and from then on I made my mind up to go carnivore. I'm going through excessive hunger right now. I'm eating such huge quantities, and I just keep losing weight. I try to focus on health, and not weight loss. I'm hoping soon I'll be free of excessive hunger. I don't have set meal times. It's really helping my to be well and happy. I had a set back recently, but with carnivore it's helping me to fight the illness in a way I never could. It's an answer to a million prayers.
Good to see your husband Chris in this video as he has reversed so many health issues from this WOE. 😄👍👏
Thank you so much! I see I have been under eating.
I like you guys very much. You are so very real I am quite amazed though as to how many people on UA-cam LMNT are sponsoring. I personally can't afford the stuff but I really like the content you put out.
They have their exact recipe listed on their website so you can make it at home for cheaper if you want ❤️
Definitely starved myself if vegetarian depletes instead of fuels .. I stick to it for 5 years and lost zero pounds .. had issues going to the bathroom .. been carnivore only 11 days .. what I’ve noticed .. it’s hard to eat enough .. I still struggle to go to the bathroom but they just said .. if you have depleted your body for so long, it’s Going to take time!
You need to drink 1 gallon of water a day to help go to bathroom
I stalled after dropping almost 40# for months, but I felt better so I just continued. Now, I’ve gained 12#! I’m trying to switch up my food. I’m waking up at 1-2am wide awake and I cannot get back to sleep. 😢 my hair is super thin too. I usually eat 2 eggs and a protein cooked in butter. Ribeye with a side of chicken drumsticks. I’ve started cutting my steaks in half and adding a tiny slice of butter and started putting a pat of burnt butter in my 1 coffee. I’m sticking to this no matter what. This is month 10! ❤
I had similar symptoms as you especially with the thinning hair. Whats frustrating with the carnivore community is with every ailment its suggested to eat more fat and electrolytes which im sure is true. Ive started eating more pickled veggies and stewa for GAPs diet and feel better. I think all meat is too restrictive
That was happening to me too I wasn’t eating enough protein! Track what you’re eating and calories. I didn’t for the first 2 years of carnivore. If you have enough fat on your body you don’t need to eat so much fat butter will just make you gain weight. Also, you can try eating much leaner meats. That’s what I do now and I’m losing weight again. I do ground beef, 93/7 I eat scrambled eggs. You should eat more than two eggs that’s really not enough, you may be under eating. I also do sirloin now with no butter ribeyes are a treat for me now, and so is bacon.
Agreed, when I wasn't eating enough protein my hair was falling out. Eating only 2 eggs and a half a ribeye in a day is drastically undereating. There are also things that Carnivore can't fix, there can be underlying issues NOT caused by food. Carnivore just eliminates any issues that are being caused by food (which is most metabolic issues), but it's not magic and can't cure everything.
I have gained 5 in 3 weeks on carnivore. been keto for 7 years lost 100. Now trying no sugar free drinks and no nuts ( I could live on nuts) but now gaining weight. Uggh
Remember that muscle weighs more than fat too! Maybe you're gaining muscle 💪
Nice work guys
YOU GUYS LOOK MARVELOUS!!!!!
This was very helpful. Thank you
It gives me the greatest pleasure to fast forward through the inevitable LMNT commercial. Thanks for the chance to do it. You carnivore folks never let me down!
You guys both look so healthy !!
Thank you for a great video! You’re always inspiring!
I feel like Batman After Being On The Caveman Diet.
I lost 62 Lbs In 7.
Kind of went carnivore because I was told I have sensitivities to poultry, corn, gluten, sugar.
I’m eating veggies way more and red meats.
However I’m underweight. So I’m hoping this helps with weight gain. I find myself desiring food now. And excited to make food, enjoying food. It’s so strange but glad to be back with a healthy mindset for food
You can mess around with adding / decreasing your fat intake (if your protein intake is accounted for). I currently use tallow (beef fat) on my meats and eggs.
Thank you.
I can’t eat as much as you’ve suggested in the past.. and I didn’t lose weight either. I also don’t lost weight when I eat a ton of butter like others. I have to stick to 1300-1500 cal a day to lose weight at 210 lbs. that’s worked for the last 60 lbs so I encourage others not to be discouraged if what’s suggested doesn’t work.
Same boat, 6 weeks in not losing anything at the same weight
Love your channel, great info and presentation. The price of LMNT is just criminal. Making up your own mix from individual ingredients is so much cheaper and perhaps using natural salt would be better.
DUDE!! No more sleep apnea machine? I'm in, bro.
Thank u for this video. Im 208 diabetic trying to find something i kno i can maintain..ty❤
Thank you both so very much for coming together and sharing different perspectives in a very simplistic way. I'm kind of new to this and often there's so much confusion and complexity you almost wanted to say forget it. These type of videos with the both of you was very helpful.
You guys look GREAT! You don't even look like the same people in your BEFORE photos. Your transformation has been AWESOME! (I'm like you guys when it comes to EATING. I can eat ALL the time! The ONLY times I'm NOT hungry is when I have something like the flu. I can out eat most men.)
My husband and I are starting this on the first of this month. I have 70 pounds to loose.
My husband is 345 pounds and is 5'9 and has been obese since a small child.
But he has no other health issues. Weird! But we have been on many diets diligently. The weight always comes back. But yes, we know it's because of going back to wrong eating.
Thank you! Very helpful!
That all makes good sense. I'm only 60 days on carnivore but I've done Atkins/keto/IF off and on for over 20 years. Btw I used you promo to try some LMNT.
My problem is under eating 😢
So many people are saying high protein has caused them a lot of health problems and they regret listening to folks tell them to eat more and more protein. Not sure what’s the right thing to do.
i know. i've read that it's one gram of protein per KILO, not pound. and also that we don't really process more than 20 g per meal.
And making sure you are getting enough fat for sure
Thanks!
Thank you 🥰
I feel extremely hunger in carnivore diet, my bodyweight is 64KG, H162cm, Body Fat 22.8%, i ate one meal a day with 10pcs of whole eggs, one whole block of butter, 100gm pork belly, 6 Chicken wings still not enough for me 😢, Sometimes I will add another 100gm of pork belly. I want my muscles look more defined.
Always great content. Thank you !
Recommended protein intake is 1 gram per kilo of bodyweight and not per pound.
Laura is 🔥
I am new to carnivore. A week in, I am having a hard time eating enough. I’ve been fasting and even after fasting for 40 hours I eat a few bites of eggs and steak with lots of butter and I don’t want anymore…
Great but how do men’s hormones cycle?
I find that on keto-vore I naturally under-eat as I feel satisfied. I don't eat under my recommended calorie figure by a lot and not every day but it does happen fairly frequently.
You 2 are FABULOUS and I actually subscribed pretty close to when you had just started here on UA-cam... I am wondering is it 1 gram per pound of what you WANT to weigh, or your current weight? I'm currently in a keto stall and am about to go watch your video on that when I'm done with this one, lol! Thank you so much for all the great content and info!
I just started carnivore 3 days ago and eat only steak, ground beef, eggs, seafood and drink water. I use the Kerry Gold butter and Kinder seasoning and LMNT. I have already noticed I'm less hungry and don't need to eat the next day until 3 pm - 5 pm and I have more energy. I weigh 286 and I'm 5'10'' and I'm trying to lose 100 pounds.
Dr westman recommends on keto to not overdo on fat , I know this goes against everything people say , but he has a practice over 20 years experience, does anyone over a 100 pounds to loose actually know when to? I don't
I was wondering how your husband is doing with diabetes is he healed from it, the reason is my husband needs help we are carnivore for 1 year as of December but he is taking insulin day time and slow acting night time. They had him on Metformin but we took him off that and put him on Berberine more natural herbs. We eat meat, eggs, butter but we still have beans once every two months home made. But we mostly eat meat and eggs a lot.
I've been undereating for years and am obese. Doing Ketovore for a few weeks, realizing it's hard to eat enough protein because I feel so full. It'll be easy to fast, not really hungry this week. Trying to add a little more each day. Thanks for the goal of 1g/lb ideal body weight.
I eat or average 2 times a day to eat. found out that eggs do have some carbs in each egg so I never eat eggs every day. chicken drumsticks are my go to protein. only $1.48 a pound and I love the skin.
I dont think you dont need to worry about the "carbs" in eggs.
@@LauraSpath YEAH. YOUR PROBABLY RIGHT. WHEN I GET HUNGRY EASIEST LATE NIGHT MEAL. 19 WHOLE SCRAMBLED EGGS.
@@LauraSpath I SAW HOW YOU TRADED A RENTED MINI VAN BACK IN FOR A CAR CAUSE OF BAD GAS MILAGE. I DRIVE A HONDA ODYSSEY HERE IN JOSHUA TREE CA. I'M GETTING KILLED ON GAS AT $6.30 A GALLON. I NEED TO GET A MOTORCYCLE LICENSE AND DRIVE A KAWASAKI NINJA 400 AS MY FULL TIME TRANSPORTATION. THEY GET 65 MILES TO THE GALLON VS MAYBE 10 A GET IN THE MINI VAN. USED PRIUS ARE EXPENSIVE HERE IN CA.
Great video
Love this information! I have no appetite on strict carnivore. I am allergic to dairy. So i have no female cycle and crash my thyroid even more when strict carnivore. So my doctor has me do animal based. I always focus on meat and eggs and then if need to i will have a little nature carbs to ovulate and have my period. My body loves beef tallow and coconut products, so try and eat enough to get sufficient calories. I think if i could eat dairy i probably could be strict. I know i do way too much fasting, but i don't feel good when i eat.
I usually have three eggs and two slices of bacon for my first meal and about 8 to 12 oz of ground beef or other beef if I have any for my second meal. Maybe I'm not eating enough but I struggle to afford more than that.
Eat more eggs!!!💜
@@vickistanton8007 I can barely afford the ones I'm eating.😆💜
I'm the same.
What about post hysterectomy, do we still need to incorporate fat? Good video!
I did this in 2021 and I'm still on the mostly carnivore diet. I'm not exactly 100% but close. I don't pretend to be an expert at any of this but I shed 52 pounds and kept it off. My biggest problem is definately getting enough protein. It's very hard for me.
Congratulations! In the end results are what matter most. I too have to work harder at the protein game. I keep deviled or hard boiled eggs readily available in the fridge and also a cooked ribeye that I can cut and reheat to snack on. I do this because I want the optimal amount of daily protein but I’m unable to eat massive meals in one sitting. I also found starting my meals earlier in the day gives me more time to consume enough protein. I try to hit three meals a day which seems to work best for me and my weightlifting. Good luck!
Im confused by something Chris said. I could have misunderstood but I thought he said one gram of protein per ideal body weight. So if I want to be 150 lb I should eat 150 g of protein per day. If that is correct, I should only be eating a third of a pound of protein per day. That would be like a 5 and 1/2 oz steak? And that's it for the whole day? I just want to be sure I understood what he said
Grams of Protein...not grams of MEAT. For example one POUND of ground beef has 65 Grams of protein. 6 Eggs has 36 Grams of Protein.
🙃
There are approx. 22 grams of protein in 4 Oz. of beef.
@@LauraSpath Thank you for this explanation! I have been baffled trying to figure this out. NOW I get it!!
What is hungry? When your stomach is growling?
