Hi Laura my name is Maria and I'm struggling so bad as I'm so addicted to carbs I am diebetic and have a serious problem with acid reflec to the point that I have a hard time sleeping at night and literally I sleep with 3 to 4 pillows at night and few times I nearly chocked at night because of the acid .
About 6 months ago , I went on Carnivore . At age 75 I lost 35 lbs in 3 months . I have NO joint pain now & feel better than I have in years ! I went from 187 lbs to 152 easily .
@@TheCurlyCarnivore , oh my goodness ~ I was having a horrible time with my lower spine & hip ! I am so happy that yours is healing !!! GOD BLESS YOU , TOO ! 🥰 May 2025 be your year of optimal health !
I often think, “Laura looks so healthy, Chris looks good.” This is the first time I thought, “wow - Chris has that healthy glow too!” He seams to have reached a new plateau. You two are so inspiring.
I don't tell people I started the carnivore diet because the few that know tell me how bad it is. I am on day 4. So far, the positive is that I am sleeping so deeply.
I have been on it for about 3 months and also don’t share it with other’s. I’ve lost over 60 pounds! It’s amazing and my bloodwork has never been better. Keep it up, and find an online community to learn more about it with! ❤
On the cost issue. I think people are looking at it the wrong way. What's your life worth? We cut our monthly subscriptions, eating out far less often, defer phone upgrades, shopping at thrift stores, check for grocery sales, etc. Luxury to me means health and eating great cuts of meat.
You don’t have to eat prime rib every night to be carnivore. I WANT to go carnivore but I really like veggies! I can’t seem to stop eating broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, etc
Plus, look at EVERYTHING as a cost per kg. Meat can be expensive, but when you consider chips per kg vs satiety... Also remember minced meat IS minced steak!
My husband and I have been carnivore for about 3 months. One of the best benefits we’ve seen is a complete change in our relationship with food! No more emotional eating or constant cravings-we eat to fuel our bodies when we’re hungry. It is so freeing!
I would rather listen to you guys and Dr. Ken Berry about the carnivore diet than anyone else. Your channel is very helpful and informative. You make it real.
My biggest grieving is about my garden. Loved growing veggies for my family and friends. Trying to switch it up to make my garden just a work of art. Flowers, etc.
Maybe grow herbs? I am new around here but I know that one way to flavor meats is to marinate in things like oil/tiny bit of vinegar (is that allowed) garlic and a tiny bit of crushed basil, or a chimmichurri....
Had a horrible day yesterday and completely fell off the wagon…I ate my steak and eggs in the morning and didn’t eat again until 7 at night and had a bunch of depression and just gave up. I was starving, emotional and ate a donut. I am ashamed🤦. But back on the horse today!!!! Here’s to not giving up
Instead of a donut…🍩🍩🍩 Try this… I call it my 1+2+3 cookie No it is not carnivore….but it will get you over the hump….so you can stay on track without gaining weight….which is the point right⁉ 1 cup almond flour 2 tbsp water 3 tbsp Lakanto Monk fruit sweetener Combine all to form a dough. Roll ten balls Flatten balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven at 350F About 12-13 minutes until slightly golden. DO NOT TOUCH until completely cold. The cookies will firm up as they cool. Each cookie about 1.2 gr carbs So….prepare a steaming mug of 🧈butter coffee…sit and enjoy half the batch of cookies for 6 grams of carbs. Variations….add a drop or two of vanilla to the water before mixing into dough. Add any favourite spice, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, or omit sweetener and go savoury… Add a dash of Montreal Steak Spice Andy flatten into crackers. Or curry spice. Or onion. Or garlic. Or everything but the bagel spice. The possibilities are endless. Hope this helps‼ Gladys🇨🇦Toronto🇨🇦Canada
Recently purchased 1/2 a steer from a local farmer at 3.95 a pound 👍 LOTS of meat, WAY cheaper than the store, locally raised, supporting a local farmer, and it tastes delicious 😉
I’ve been on it for a year, I’m so fit now, I’m as aerobically fit as I was in my late 20s, I’m 62 in April and I am Re building muscles, I lift weights every day, today I did 10 chin up x 2 sets, I’m no longer ashamed of my body. No more snoring,no longer hypertensive, testosterone through the roof libido ⬆️, no aches and pains, teeth never covered in plaque, no more brown stains on my shins ( sign of hypertension) I’m doing things I never thought I’d do again such as riding enduro motorcycles, sea kayak fishing and long distance mountain walking. Laura you and Chris have done absolutely amazing things, you both look fantastic! I can not believe how different you both look! People have asked my employees if I had got cancer because of my weight loss 🤣, or they also don’t recognise me if they haven’t seen me since last year. I love it! I wish more people discover this way of life, it’s a game changer for your health and fitness. Thank you both.🥩🐷🐏🥓🍳🐔🍖🥚🍳❤️
Congratulations!! I try not to preach about carnivore too much, but how can you not, with such spectacular results that I’ve achieved. People who are sick and fat for decades and cry and complain put it down like I’m just insane. I would just about do anything proven to reverse disease without meds. Expecting change without radically changing what you have been doing is the definition of insanity.
Both of your eyes look amazing. I am glad you addressed the grief of our old way of cooking, comforting and celebrating. That has been a huge grief for me. My husband said you two put it in words perfectly. thanks.
My husband started the carnivore over 10 months ago and he has lost over 60 lbs which is amazing. He struggled with an auto immune disease, snoring, high cholesterol, was pre-diabetic, etc. Since making this change, his snoring has subsided, he’s not dealing with auto immune, no high cholesterol or diabetes. He often gets asked about high cholesterol, but tells them it’s been good. It’s worked in his favor to be on carnivore. Thank you for being real and transparent about your experience and journey along the way. 😊
Hardest part for me was the feeling of missing out. Seeing others who were able to just eat whatever and not gain weight. Not have any obvious health issues. Feeling depressed because i was the one who had to be so strict and intentional about what i ate. I just wanted for once to be like everyone else. My entire life was a "diet" it absolutely consumed me and i hated it. It took a long time to learn to accept the fact that if i wanted to be healthy and achieve a normal weight, i was just going to have to do what was right for me and quit comparing my lifestyle to others.
I can fully attach to your testimony, which is according to my personal experience. It is unfair but one must physically and psychologically survive in the not weight gaining world.
They can totally not eat whatever they want and be healthy, trust me😂 How many happy people do you know these days for example? I mean REALLY HAPPY, not fake happy.. and all of those people are not telling you how they have diarrhea all the time, the cysts they have in their boobies, the mood swings, the warts on the foot, etc etc etc. They may look kind of healthy on the outside, but they are not. I also thought like that, until I noticed that none of those people are healthy and most of them wear make up to hide it.
The mindset reframe I have found helpful is “I CHOOSE to not eat trash!” Instead of thinking “I can’t have that” (which feels disempowering & restrictive”, I choose not to eat that. Choice makes me feel in control.
thank you for this update and encouragement. I started the keto diet 1/2018, lost 80lbs, but this past summer I drifted away from healthy eating while on road trips. Now up 15lbs. Back on the carnivore way of eating. Getting this turned back around.
Hi Laura and Chris, loved your best and worst emmision. Laura your UA-cam episodes were some of my first carnivore encounters and later on I found Dr Ken Berry, Dr Anthony Chaffee etc but you and Chris were my inspiration because it was the best demonstration, you were both huge and troubled by the side effects of the modern way of eating, you successfully turned all that around. No further proof is required than looking at your before and today photographs. 7 years now is all the proof needed. So many thanks and also thanks for demonstrating that a little flexibility with types of meat and seasonings has kept you on track. My names Rob and I live in Kent, UK. I am in my 19th month of carnivore now and I dropped from 220lbs to 154lbs over that period although I was 260lbs at my worst. I started this journey trying juicing, vegetarian, vegan (nearly killed me) followed by ketogenic which is when I discovered your channel, nothing beats carnivore for me, I'm so stable on it, and never tire of meat. So 19 months in on top of the weight benefit here's a list of the horrid things I lost, stopped snorring (better sleep), stopped eczema and my skin is now much more youthful and feels smooth and slightly waxy, my tear ducts work now, I don't get blocked ears from wax, in fact my hearing has measurably improved, libido improved and depression and anxiety just melted away. Massive improvements have occurred in my courage to live, I can cycle 120+ miles per week and swim 1000 yds, I am mid sixties now and feel like I am in my 20s again. I haven't quite solved the socialising scene yet since locally it revolves around dinner parties and alcohol consumption but I have substituted this for my wonderful cycle club and gym. I am optimistic to discover how much further my condition will improve since my muscles continue to grow and reform like my skin. I see the same transformation in your photos. I really celebrate your huge kindness in sharing your journey with us strangers who now enjoy the benefits with you. I send you both and your family my very best wishes, Rob
I’m in the uk. Have you found a carnivore doctor. I would like to have blood tests done. I feel good, but I don’t know what’s going on inside my body. I probably don’t eat enough. I didn’t do eat for weight loss, just for health reasons. Sometimes my Blood Pressure is high.
@ I started the lifestyle so I could avoid going to the GP, they just kept upping my meds, I’m off them all now. You can get blood test done privately or it may be prudent to see your own GP.👍
Thank you SO MUCH for this honest and encouraging assessment of the Carnivore Diet and what's great and NOT great about it. I've been watching you a long time and only just Jan 1 did I plunge in completely to Carnivore. You are such an inspiration!!
Can’t wait to show this video to my hubby. He just got on board with me yesterday ❤ Thanks Chris and hope you will be on more videos. Appreciate you both for sharing and that you don’t cuss in your videos so I can share with other Christians. Keep up the good work 😊
The best thing: It gets easier the longer you eat carnivore and you realize you don't even want a vegetable. The worst: Not being able to give everyone your best advice -- to eat meat. It's hard to watch people suffer when they don't have to.
I allow myself to eat low carb/keto, but I also have many carnivore meals, and this helps me to stick with this way of eating. Sometimes it's really fun to follow recipes and make fancy things, but I also really love cutting down on time in the kitchen. I also learned that cholesterol makes your hormones, so reaching for butter or reuteri yogurt or raw, fermented cheeses, I never feel guilty, and so far since last January, I went from size 20 to size 12.
I think one of the hardest parts is sticking with it consistently, long enough to really reap the full benefits. I just watched a video about a guy who’s blood sugar numbers were 500, ended up in the hospital, on insulin , etc then at about three months into carnivore had completely reversed his diabetes. Whereas I’ve been on it a couple of weeks, which I know is a short time, but my blood sugar numbers have not dropped at all. I think it gets back to the “everyone wants quick results”, but everyone’s body is on a different timeline. Hard not to compare yourself to other people who seem to drop weight so quickly and reverse all their symptoms ain no time at all. Thanks for the video and for addressing the grief side of giving up the foods that are familiar and bring your comfort.
✨✨✨When you find CARNIVORE hard to stick with… and your appetite wanders into craving territory. That means you did not eat enough fat….that day. Eat 🥓🥓🥓🥓bacon until you are full…OR WHIP a huge piece of butter 🧈into your coffee☕‼ That should fix you right up‼‼‼‼‼
@ I own a LIFEPRO WAVER VIBRATION PLATFORM. It is a life changer. I grab the pulleys, squat and pretend I am down hill skiing. There are 99 vibration setting. In two months…I have better body strength…better balance…I wanted it mainly to improve balance. And I use a red light therapy mask at the same time…the ultimate multi task. I love it.
84 years old, 7 months on carnivore. Lost 30 lbs. quickly (I'm at goal weight). I was not using prescription drugs but was taking Prilosec daily. No more -- all that old lady stuff is gone; digestion healed, rashes, etc. gone.
Did you taper off the prilosec or quit "cold turkey?" My mom started the carnivore diet, but not even a week in she starred complaining that she had acid reflux and started becoming turned off by meat. She has a hiatal hernia and has struggled with acid reflux for decades. She keeps "joking" about becoming a vegetarian. Can someone please help?
The worst thing about carnivore is not being able to make your loved ones understand how amazing they would feel if they would only try it. They end up getting bored of me talking about it. I want them to improve their quality of life but only they can do it.
You touched on something that I have a difficult time with and that is holiday time there are such food traditions in our family it is something that I struggle with but I just keep trying to tell myself you can do this
Best part is my improvement in my bone density. I went from osteoarthritis to osteopenia to normal in 2 1/2 years. The worst part is I still have healing to do osteoarthritis and blood pressure. Until the osteoarthritis is better I can’t feel better. Plus have lost no weight or changed body composition. That’s the hardest is trusting it’ll get me there, but im reading, watching & praying I’ll get there. You both have improved so much and look great😊
If you haven't lost weight in 2 1/2 years on carnivore you likely need to eat more food. You may be in a chronic deficit and until you feed your body it will cling to the excess weight. You also need the food to heal hormones and this is very important for women of all ages.
@ sorry that was misleading. I lost to my goal weight. I then had to, not by my choice leave ZC for 13 months. Gained 30 pounds and felt horrible so found a way back to ZC (senior living facility) After being back 4 months I’ve noticed no improvement in my osteoarthritis,body composition or weight changes, but the further improvement in my bone density was great.
Carnivore diet for me has been simple and fast acting! I was amazed when I lost 5lbs just in one week. My tummy feels full and not starved. Before when I ate salads, I was always hungry. Thank you for all the knowledge. I love watching. 🥩🥓🍗🍖
Ive been struggling my whole life with chronic and acute pain and autoimmune issues wuth little to no help from medical professionals. I had just about given up after trying every diet possible. Coming up on almost 3 months carnivore and almost all autoimmune and chronic pain issues resolved. I am so grateful and blessed to have finally found a solution bcuz I had been beaten and destroyed and all but given up on life until now. So grateful for the carnivore diet and ty to all of you who have helped this journey.🙏🏼
Thank you. It’s always nice to see long term carnivores. I’m on day 425 and you guys help inspire me to stay the course and not go experimenting around. I think your eat on the go videos are probably valuable for people on the go. Fortunately I’m retired and don’t have to find those kind of quick solutions. You both look and sound great.
Thank you for this video featuring both of you and your perspectives! I smiled when Laura mentioned meatballs since just last night I made a big batch of the bacon cheeseburger meatballs using your recipe! Even my wife (who doesn’t normally eat a lot of meat) loves those. I am going to recommend she watch this video. 😁
Been doing carnivore since August and have lost 45lbs so far. Not only that, but my leg, ankle and feet edema dramatically improved almost immediately! I think the hardest thing for me has been giving up the quick and easy convenience foods. So much daily cooking now ... if I'm not cooking, I'm cleaning up the kitchen and washing dishes. My microwave thinks I hate it! lol It's been totally worth it though and with a little planning, it's really no big deal. Thank God I retired 7 months ago and have more time to focus on the important things.
I hate cooking so I have my husband grill a week’s worth of hamburger patties at one time. Then once they cool down, I store them in ziplock bags (2 patties each) per serving, then put them in the freezer. When I’m hungry I just pull out a bag, throw it in the microwave and, bam, I don’t have to cook. Another trick I do is I cook all my ribeyes in my crock pot. I throw one in the pot in the morning then by lunch or dinner I have a very tender steak. I use crockpot bags so I don’t have a big mess to clean up afterwards. Now I only need to run my dish washer once a week. Lol
You guys are awesome! Thanks Laura and Chris for sharing your passion about carnivore. Your message reinforces the fact that eating meat is a simple and easy choice for optimum health. You appear so comfortable together, and that helps others relate to you and your inspiring video.
You guys are an inspiration!!! Thank you for the honesty.. I love the way you guys do the carnivore life because it is all about sustainability.. And you two are living proof in just your complexion and eyes.. So healthy looking..👀
You are both so authentic 🎉great video topic. Eating carnivore for four years. The hard part is boredom from lack of variety. But I had that feeling eating SAD, so what's different lol. I could make a huge list of the pain the SAD caused me. There are SO MANY benefits from carnivore. You covered many of them, no crashes, no obsessions, no sugar cravings, no more reading labels, no more wondering what I ate that made me feel sick, no longer a slave to food, rarely go shopping etc. Hardest for me is eating animals, 😢 witnessing ppl eat like addicts, and wishing my family could experience all the benefits that come with the carnivore diet.
I really appreciate this honest video. Especially addressing "grieving" the foods that we may have grown up on or celebrated with at the holidays. This is a real issue, and it needs to be addressed more often by carnivores.
Thanks for being frank about this topic. The before and after photos showing the huge difference in just appearance was amazing and then to say that you don't need the meds is awesome. I wish more effort was put into the prevention of bad ailments other than here's a pill for that.
Love your transparency! I am glad you aren’t so rigid like other Carnivore “police”! Your videos resonate more with me than any other! Loved this “conversation”! Thank you!
✨✨✨I believe CARNIVORE has to reasonably doable….I use spices, 🧅onion, 🧄garlic, 🌶red hot pepper flakes to add flavour to my meats. I think I own every spice blend known to man…and every spice! From all around the world. I wish I could learn how to 🥚🥚🥚cook eggs in at least 750 different ways…recipes from all around the 🌎world for a change of taste. No boredom there‼‼ I use stevia in my coffee and tea and enjoy coffees and teas from all around the 🌎world. Water💧💧💧I cannot stand the taste of…even filtered water…and bottled water is not that healthy either. Bottled water contains micro-plastics. No thanks. Bottom line, give yourself permission to be flexible and do not worry about the “police”👮 The only thing that is constant…I eat 🥩meat, 🥓bacon and 🍳eggs!
i was on Carnivore for 4 months and had my annual blood test and my Dr called me flipping out about my cholesterol 235 over all and 1630 this and... I said hold on I am on the Carnivore diet and all the eggs and butter and meat is causing this. I will add back in some fruit and vegs. She calmed down. My blood tests have always been perfect. I was 69 years old at the time and also going through the most stress of my life my wife left me for another guy. I am find now and dating all is well stress wise. I am very happy. I am going back to being a Carnivore. My eczema cleared up my joints don't hurt my constipation cleared up. Energy level was constant. I only ate twice a day. Some times once. I loved it. I just wasn't expecting the Dr to flip out. Thanks. Oh I am 70 years old.
This channel is so informative and welcoming. You both look amazing have lived this lifestyle for 7 years! You are both a real testament of the possibilities for all of us working through the process…. Thank you and Happy New Year 🎊
Carnivore does come with those challenges early, but after 2.5 years, it’s sup easy. Parties, travel, gatherings are easy to overcome. Healthy lifestyle can be hard, but in comparison to your life prior, that was hard and was quickly becoming harder. Carnivore is easy and life gets easier.
So good, thank you for mentioning the part about missing foods and the challenge of overcoming emotional eating. That’s me. I’m tired of quitting because I told myself I had a hard day so I reach for a cookie or something unhealthy. I have to choose my health over my (very) temporary happiness from a brownie.
I find carnivore much cheaper - dinner was a grass fed burger from Costco and a mug of chicken broth. Cost about $2. (Cheat was three organic dill pickles 😉)
I love dill 🥒🥒🥒pickles (in threes) when I did not eat enough and crave something….but I don’t know what. The sour dills change the taste in my mouth and that makes all the difference in the 🌎world‼It works for me.
@ yes! I know it’s a carnivore no no but it’s basically just crunchy salt water imo. I like that Laura and her husband do not insist on dogmatic maximalist behavior. 👏🏻
I don't have any huge health issues, so the best thing for me is how rarely I have to eat (ergo, cook and clean up after). I used to have this hanger attacks on a "normal healthy" diet, and even with keto it just goes away. So liberating. It also just happens that all my favorite foods are carnivore, so I love it
The constant questions about why you are doing this? I'm a non conformant, and I'm willing to try anything to heal my aches and pains. Through both of you, we all see that this is a long-term plan and not the "normal" loose and gain back plan, so thank you.
Love it! Would love to hear more about Chris being a carnivore/sahd! Maybe day in the life video on how he handles dad duty and staying on track. I struggle with being home all day with kids or with their friends/other parents and just being surrounded by food all the time! I was able to stay on track before having kids when I was working a lot. I’m not as lucky to have a carnivore spouse. Hubby is very supportive but him and the kids are more meat based and like homemade sourdough, veggies, and more keto/paleo things.
I've always been successful on the carnivore diet. Went on a binge since October and plan to jump back on tomorrow. I normally fast for the first day then go straight to carnivore to clean out my system. Thanks for the video and the reminder of how good this works.
Hi Laura, Would it be possible if Chris did a video with describing the process he went through reversing his T2 diabetes. What changes in his body did he see first etc.. I havent seen a video like this and I am trying to do the same thing. Thanks, really enjoy your videos.
Rib eyes most every night. Sometimes hamburger. Last night, mussels, salmon sashimi, with a side of ground beef. Bacon and eggs, sausage and eggs. Sometimes wagyu beef or a tomahawk for a treat. BBQ, instapot, fried, smoked, baked. Its not a boring lifestyle. I make my own butter, L-reuteri yogurt, beef jerky. So good.😊
Carnivore is a life changer for me, my BP went down to 120/76 previously 179/101; brain fog ; inflammation You are the one that motivated me to start and I’m happy Thank you
0:50 LMNT electrolytes confessed that they add Maltodextrin to their flavored versions. Maltodextrin is a starch/sugar that is 105 in the glycemic index. Edit: The unflavored versions doesn't have Maltodextrin added in them.
It was on their website prior to this, there was no confession. LOL Not to mention you also left out the information that the unflavored does not have maltodextrin. Shady comment. The small amount added to the flavored are unlikely for the vast majority of people to have an issue, even Dr. Berry has said this.
Thank you for all you’ve shared and being so open with all your journey, the good and the bad. What does your family eat for the holidays? Our family wants to try it and we think it will be a challenge to go through the holidays.
Omg this helped me a lot …. I’m just starting out this is my second week on and I was just thinking I don’t know if I can do this but listen to you guys I think I can hang in there
Happy New Year 🎆 Thank you for sharing this video 🥰 The best of carnivore is reduced inflammation and allergic rhinitis attacks 🤸♀️ The world of carnivore is I REALLY need to plan my grocery trips and my weekly meals 🤪🛒 Could be worse 😉
Question; have you two noticed you've gotten more attracted to each other and your relationship got better. Partly because you're healthier? Partly because you look better? Partly because you have a common interest to work together towards? Curious if this Journey carnivore diet has helped your relationship
Great video. I am currently more ketovore than carnivore, but I have been everywhere on the low carb continuum. You definitely captured the best and the worst for me. Even though I am not "carnivore" right now, I will say eating that way does make me feel my absolute best. I don't really know why I don't just do it all the time.
The adaptation phase was the worst part for me. I quit twice because I couldn’t figure out how to feel better. Third times a charm and I am working through and overcoming the side effects and enjoying the stable mood and energy it provides in addition to healing aches, pains and inflammation.
I too can't really eat much after having my eggs and bacon. But I do believe that if you are still "over weight" and you feel full enough to skip a meal you should. If you find that you weight is stalled then you should just walk. Here is why I believe this: if you walk long enough (over 30min even at a slow pace) your body has no choice but to slow burn the massive amounts of fat left on your body. If you try to run or over workout all its going to do is stress you out, make you tired and hungry. Walking does none of that. If you reached your goal weight and you are starting to feel tired, get headaches and moody you are under eating. This is when I would suggest dairy or some kind of sauce that would entice you to eat a little more. Instead of eating once a day, spread out your fat and protein into smaller meals. I personally hate the idea of snacking or eating multiple times a day because that's what made me fat before. I like fasting, having a flat stomach and eating like an animal once a day. But if you are not active and eating so little that your metabolism slows down you have to spread the meals out, eat more, or walk. I DO NOT recommend running or forcing yourself to do HIT or weights to force yourself out of a stall. That never works.
Boring? Others have pasta and fries about every day. I have chicken breast with butter, chicken tenders, chicken wings, chicken broth, burger patties, meatballs, all kind of cooked and roasted beef, beef broth, cooked or fried salted pork belly, crunchy pork legs, rips and all sort of cuts, lamb, 4 kind of fish (that is not so expensive), shrimps and seafood, fried eggs, steamed eggs, scrambled eggs with different kind of cheese, yoghurt, cream cheese, creme fraiche/ sour cream, cream, whipped cream, BUTTER ...all sorts of meat, boring people would never dare to try, like tongue. If you add sugar free seasoning you can multiply your dishes tastes. you can have creamy sauces like hollandaise or just cook your chickenbreast in the oven... in cream and topped with cheese... I hear the kitchen calling...
Thanks for sharing guys, very encouraging. I'm not carnivore yet, but heading that way, I eat meat, avacados every day, I eat some vegetables but hate them.
I have been Carnivore for 2 years and UNFORTUNATELY my blood pressure has actually increased. Lost 40ish pounds but my blood pressure has risen and has not done anything for my lower back pain.

What about alcohol?
Hi Laura my name is Maria and I'm struggling so bad as I'm so addicted to carbs I am diebetic and have a serious problem with acid reflec to the point that I have a hard time sleeping at night and literally I sleep with 3 to 4 pillows at night and few times I nearly chocked at night because of the acid .
@@LauraSpath Your opinion on alcohol consumption. Please 🙏
About 6 months ago , I went on Carnivore . At age 75 I lost 35 lbs in 3 months . I have NO joint pain now & feel better than I have in years ! I went from 187 lbs to 152 easily .
Live long a prosper dude
I am starting to heal my severe spinal condition and pain! I’m so happy it helped you 🎉god bless!
@@TheCurlyCarnivore , oh my goodness ~ I was having a horrible time with my lower spine & hip ! I am so happy that yours is healing !!! GOD BLESS YOU , TOO ! 🥰 May 2025 be your year of optimal health !
@ thank you! I’m just starting and hope my pain continues to improve! ❤️🩹🥩
I often think, “Laura looks so healthy, Chris looks good.” This is the first time I thought, “wow - Chris has that healthy glow too!” He seams to have reached a new plateau. You two are so inspiring.
He just hadn't been to jiu jitsu in a couple days with it being the holidays so his face was less bruised than normal. 😂
He is handsome
Even though it appears fairly minimal, Laura obviously wears make up, so that definitely enhances any person's "healthy glow".
How old are you ?
Looks aren't inductive of health if it was Drs wouldn't do medical tests .
I don't tell people I started the carnivore diet because the few that know tell me how bad it is. I am on day 4. So far, the positive is that I am sleeping so deeply.
I hopethey see your new lease on life and become supportive. A week & 2 days in my inflammation was significantly reduced. 1 day at a time.
I feel you. Some of my friends see all the good things that have happened to me, but they want to go vegetarian. 🤔 ok, go ahead.
Keep going focus on feeling good wait till they ask ya or not even then 😂
Stick with it- never mind other people
I have been on it for about 3 months and also don’t share it with other’s. I’ve lost over 60 pounds! It’s amazing and my bloodwork has never been better. Keep it up, and find an online community to learn more about it with! ❤
On the cost issue. I think people are looking at it the wrong way. What's your life worth? We cut our monthly subscriptions, eating out far less often, defer phone upgrades, shopping at thrift stores, check for grocery sales, etc. Luxury to me means health and eating great cuts of meat.
I totally agree, but also the food isn't as expensive as people think it is.
You don’t have to eat prime rib every night to be carnivore. I WANT to go carnivore but I really like veggies! I can’t seem to stop eating broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, etc
@@LauraSpath I have discovered that it’s actually cheaper since we’re not buying the junk food we used to consume.
Plus, look at EVERYTHING as a cost per kg. Meat can be expensive, but when you consider chips per kg vs satiety... Also remember minced meat IS minced steak!
@@Redhead155You're low carb, or Ketovore, and that's OK!
My husband and I have been carnivore for about 3 months. One of the best benefits we’ve seen is a complete change in our relationship with food! No more emotional eating or constant cravings-we eat to fuel our bodies when we’re hungry. It is so freeing!
I just started! I have sugar cravings but am excited when they end lol! 🎉
I would rather listen to you guys and Dr. Ken Berry about the carnivore diet than anyone else. Your channel is very helpful and informative. You make it real.
My biggest grieving is about my garden. Loved growing veggies for my family and friends. Trying to switch it up to make my garden just a work of art. Flowers, etc.
Maybe grow herbs? I am new around here but I know that one way to flavor meats is to marinate in things like oil/tiny bit of vinegar (is that allowed) garlic and a tiny bit of crushed basil, or a chimmichurri....
We also have a large garden.hubby is more keto but meat heavy. I trade our veggies for farm eggs so it kinda worked out.
You could also grow hen and cows 😂
I turned my garden into a flower garden.
Feed it to your chooks or barter
Had a horrible day yesterday and completely fell off the wagon…I ate my steak and eggs in the morning and didn’t eat again until 7 at night and had a bunch of depression and just gave up. I was starving, emotional and ate a donut. I am ashamed🤦. But back on the horse today!!!! Here’s to not giving up
Instead of a donut…🍩🍩🍩
Try this… I call it my 1+2+3 cookie
No it is not carnivore….but it will get you over the hump….so you can stay on track without gaining weight….which is the point right⁉
1 cup almond flour
2 tbsp water
3 tbsp Lakanto Monk fruit sweetener
Combine all to form a dough.
Roll ten balls
Flatten balls on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven at 350F
About 12-13 minutes until slightly golden.
DO NOT TOUCH until completely cold.
The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Each cookie about 1.2 gr carbs
So….prepare a steaming mug of 🧈butter coffee…sit and enjoy half the batch of cookies for 6 grams of carbs.
Variations….add a drop or two of vanilla to the water before mixing into dough.
Add any favourite spice, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, or omit sweetener and go savoury…
Add a dash of Montreal Steak Spice Andy flatten into crackers. Or curry spice.
Or onion. Or garlic. Or everything but the bagel spice. The possibilities are endless.
Hope this helps‼

I’d call that a success, most of us would have likely eaten half a dozen! Press on!
i do not think it is something to feel ashmed of , eat more throughout day until u do not need too
Don’t be ashamed it’s a journey not a cold turkey approach. If you’re good most of the time you’ll still se some benefits! Keep going!
Happened to me to day as well. It is fine. It's a life style and not a diet. Getting back on the wagon abs Starting tmr again.😊
Great video 🎉. Best….No More Cravings‼️‼️ 9 Years Carnivore. Maintained 140 pound weight loss‼️
@@SCM1949 wow’
Recently purchased 1/2 a steer from a local farmer at 3.95 a pound 👍 LOTS of meat, WAY cheaper than the store, locally raised, supporting a local farmer, and it tastes delicious 😉
I’ve been on it for a year, I’m so fit now, I’m as aerobically fit as I was in my late 20s, I’m 62 in April and I am Re building muscles, I lift weights every day, today I did 10 chin up x 2 sets, I’m no longer ashamed of my body. No more snoring,no longer hypertensive, testosterone through the roof libido ⬆️, no aches and pains, teeth never covered in plaque, no more brown stains on my shins ( sign of hypertension) I’m doing things I never thought I’d do again such as riding enduro motorcycles, sea kayak fishing and long distance mountain walking. Laura you and Chris have done absolutely amazing things, you both look fantastic!
I can not believe how different you both look!
People have asked my employees if I had got cancer because of my weight loss 🤣, or they also don’t recognise me if they haven’t seen me since last year. I love it! I wish more people discover this way of life, it’s a game changer for your health and fitness. Thank you both.🥩🐷🐏🥓🍳🐔🍖🥚🍳❤️
Congratulations!! I try not to preach about carnivore too much, but how can you not, with such spectacular results that I’ve achieved.
People who are sick and fat for decades and cry and complain put it down like I’m just insane. I would just about do anything proven to reverse disease without meds. Expecting change without radically changing what you have been doing is the definition of insanity.
Great testimony!
Both of your eyes look amazing. I am glad you addressed the grief of our old way of cooking, comforting and celebrating. That has been a huge grief for me. My husband said you two put it in words perfectly. thanks.
My husband started the carnivore over 10 months ago and he has lost over 60 lbs which is amazing. He struggled with an auto immune disease, snoring, high cholesterol, was pre-diabetic, etc. Since making this change, his snoring has subsided, he’s not dealing with auto immune, no high cholesterol or diabetes. He often gets asked about high cholesterol, but tells them it’s been good. It’s worked in his favor to be on carnivore. Thank you for being real and transparent about your experience and journey along the way. 😊
12 pounds lost since January 1st. Feeling great! As a male I appreciate Chris sitting in with the male perspective. Thank you! 🥩
In 10 days 😮
How much are you eating? That is a lot!
Hardest part for me was the feeling of missing out. Seeing others who were able to just eat whatever and not gain weight. Not have any obvious health issues. Feeling depressed because i was the one who had to be so strict and intentional about what i ate. I just wanted for once to be like everyone else. My entire life was a "diet" it absolutely consumed me and i hated it. It took a long time to learn to accept the fact that if i wanted to be healthy and achieve a normal weight, i was just going to have to do what was right for me and quit comparing my lifestyle to others.
But think of the huge risk today of getting dementia, diabetes, cancer... carnivore can prevent or alleviate most chronic illnesses.
I can fully attach to your testimony, which is according to my personal experience. It is unfair but one must physically and psychologically survive in the not weight gaining world.
They can totally not eat whatever they want and be healthy, trust me😂 How many happy people do you know these days for example? I mean REALLY HAPPY, not fake happy.. and all of those people are not telling you how they have diarrhea all the time, the cysts they have in their boobies, the mood swings, the warts on the foot, etc etc etc. They may look kind of healthy on the outside, but they are not.
I also thought like that, until I noticed that none of those people are healthy and most of them wear make up to hide it.
The mindset reframe I have found helpful is “I CHOOSE to not eat trash!” Instead of thinking “I can’t have that” (which feels disempowering & restrictive”, I choose not to eat that. Choice makes me feel in control.
thank you for this update and encouragement. I started the keto diet 1/2018, lost 80lbs, but this past summer I drifted away from healthy eating while on road trips. Now up 15lbs. Back on the carnivore way of eating. Getting this turned back around.
Hi Laura and Chris, loved your best and worst emmision. Laura your UA-cam episodes were some of my first carnivore encounters and later on I found Dr Ken Berry, Dr Anthony Chaffee etc but you and Chris were my inspiration because it was the best demonstration, you were both huge and troubled by the side effects of the modern way of eating, you successfully turned all that around. No further proof is required than looking at your before and today photographs. 7 years now is all the proof needed. So many thanks and also thanks for demonstrating that a little flexibility with types of meat and seasonings has kept you on track.
My names Rob and I live in Kent, UK. I am in my 19th month of carnivore now and I dropped from 220lbs to 154lbs over that period although I was 260lbs at my worst. I started this journey trying juicing, vegetarian, vegan (nearly killed me) followed by ketogenic which is when I discovered your channel, nothing beats carnivore for me, I'm so stable on it, and never tire of meat. So 19 months in on top of the weight benefit here's a list of the horrid things I lost, stopped snorring (better sleep), stopped eczema and my skin is now much more youthful and feels smooth and slightly waxy, my tear ducts work now, I don't get blocked ears from wax, in fact my hearing has measurably improved, libido improved and depression and anxiety just melted away. Massive improvements have occurred in my courage to live, I can cycle 120+ miles per week and swim 1000 yds, I am mid sixties now and feel like I am in my 20s again.
I haven't quite solved the socialising scene yet since locally it revolves around dinner parties and alcohol consumption but I have substituted this for my wonderful cycle club and gym. I am optimistic to discover how much further my condition will improve since my muscles continue to grow and reform like my skin. I see the same transformation in your photos.
I really celebrate your huge kindness in sharing your journey with us strangers who now enjoy the benefits with you.
I send you both and your family my very best wishes,
Rob
Well done Rob, I’m 62 and gone from 15 stones to 11.4 and as fit as I was in my late 20s, it’s great aint it, I to am in the 🇬🇧
Hey…have you heard Dr. Anthony Chaffee say…that CARNIVORES should live to 120 easily‼Yes, please‼🥩🥩🥩pass the steak‼
@ my aim is to spend my last decade being reasonable strong and mentally fit. I’d rather go out with a bang than slowly Peter out with illness.
I’m in the uk. Have you found a carnivore doctor. I would like to have blood tests done. I feel good, but I don’t know what’s going on inside my body. I probably don’t eat enough. I didn’t do eat for weight loss, just for health reasons. Sometimes my Blood Pressure is high.
@ I started the lifestyle so I could avoid going to the GP, they just kept upping my meds, I’m off them all now. You can get blood test done privately or it may be prudent to see your own GP.👍
Long term addiction to comfort food is a real thing. Thanks for speaking to this Laura. You are both great and I appreciate you so much!
Thank you SO MUCH for this honest and encouraging assessment of the Carnivore Diet and what's great and NOT great about it. I've been watching you a long time and only just Jan 1 did I plunge in completely to Carnivore. You are such an inspiration!!
✨✨✨You are going to love ♥it‼
Just remember…when in doubt…eat bacon🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓‼‼‼
Can’t wait to show this video to my hubby. He just got on board with me yesterday ❤ Thanks Chris and hope you will be on more videos. Appreciate you both for sharing and that you don’t cuss in your videos so I can share with other Christians. Keep up the good work 😊
Cussing is just a word. Share the life saving info and quit clutching pearls.
The best thing: It gets easier the longer you eat carnivore and you realize you don't even want a vegetable.
The worst: Not being able to give everyone your best advice -- to eat meat. It's hard to watch people suffer when they don't have to.
I allow myself to eat low carb/keto, but I also have many carnivore meals, and this helps me to stick with this way of eating. Sometimes it's really fun to follow recipes and make fancy things, but I also really love cutting down on time in the kitchen. I also learned that cholesterol makes your hormones, so reaching for butter or reuteri yogurt or raw, fermented cheeses, I never feel guilty, and so far since last January, I went from size 20 to size 12.
I think one of the hardest parts is sticking with it consistently, long enough to really reap the full benefits. I just watched a video about a guy who’s blood sugar numbers were 500, ended up in the hospital, on insulin , etc then at about three months into carnivore had completely reversed his diabetes. Whereas I’ve been on it a couple of weeks, which I know is a short time, but my blood sugar numbers have not dropped at all. I think it gets back to the “everyone wants quick results”, but everyone’s body is on a different timeline. Hard not to compare yourself to other people who seem to drop weight so quickly and reverse all their symptoms ain no time at all. Thanks for the video and for addressing the grief side of giving up the foods that are familiar and bring your comfort.
how long have you been on it and how strict?
✨✨✨When you find CARNIVORE hard to stick with… and your appetite wanders into craving territory. That means you did not eat enough fat….that day. Eat 🥓🥓🥓🥓bacon until you are full…OR WHIP a huge piece of butter 🧈into your coffee☕‼
That should fix you right up‼‼‼‼‼
Excellent comment 💯 agree!!!
Activity everyday might help along side the diet.
@ I own a LIFEPRO WAVER VIBRATION PLATFORM. It is a life changer.
I grab the pulleys, squat and pretend I am down hill skiing. There are 99 vibration setting. In two months…I have better body strength…better balance…I wanted it mainly to improve balance. And I use a red light therapy mask at the same time…the
ultimate multi task. I love it.
Thanks for all you share. You have no idea what a huge blessing you are.
84 years old, 7 months on carnivore. Lost 30 lbs. quickly (I'm at goal weight). I was not using prescription drugs but was taking Prilosec daily. No more -- all that old lady stuff is gone; digestion healed, rashes, etc. gone.
Did you taper off the prilosec or quit "cold turkey?" My mom started the carnivore diet, but not even a week in she starred complaining that she had acid reflux and started becoming turned off by meat. She has a hiatal hernia and has struggled with acid reflux for decades. She keeps "joking" about becoming a vegetarian. Can someone please help?
The worst thing about carnivore is not being able to make your loved ones understand how amazing they would feel if they would only try it. They end up getting bored of me talking about it. I want them to improve their quality of life but only they can do it.
You touched on something that I have a difficult time with and that is holiday time there are such food traditions in our family it is something that I struggle with but I just keep trying to tell myself you can do this
Best part is my improvement in my bone density. I went from osteoarthritis to osteopenia to normal in 2 1/2 years. The worst part is I still have healing to do osteoarthritis and blood pressure. Until the osteoarthritis is better I can’t feel better. Plus have lost no weight or changed body composition. That’s the hardest is trusting it’ll get me there, but im reading, watching & praying I’ll get there. You both have improved so much and look great😊
If you haven't lost weight in 2 1/2 years on carnivore you likely need to eat more food. You may be in a chronic deficit and until you feed your body it will cling to the excess weight. You also need the food to heal hormones and this is very important for women of all ages.
@ sorry that was misleading. I lost to my goal weight. I then had to, not by my choice leave ZC for 13 months. Gained 30 pounds and felt horrible so found a way back to ZC (senior living facility) After being back 4 months I’ve noticed no improvement in my osteoarthritis,body composition or weight changes, but the further improvement in my bone density was great.
Carnivore diet for me has been simple and fast acting! I was amazed when I lost 5lbs just in one week. My tummy feels full and not starved. Before when I ate salads, I was always hungry.
Thank you for all the knowledge. I love watching. 🥩🥓🍗🍖
Ive been struggling my whole life with chronic and acute pain and autoimmune issues wuth little to no help from medical professionals. I had just about given up after trying every diet possible. Coming up on almost 3 months carnivore and almost all autoimmune and chronic pain issues resolved. I am so grateful and blessed to have finally found a solution bcuz I had been beaten and destroyed and all but given up on life until now. So grateful for the carnivore diet and ty to all of you who have helped this journey.🙏🏼
Thank you. It’s always nice to see long term carnivores. I’m on day 425 and you guys help inspire me to stay the course and not go experimenting around. I think your eat on the go videos are probably valuable for people on the go. Fortunately I’m retired and don’t have to find those kind of quick solutions. You both look and sound great.
You are 100% doing carnivore right FOR YOU! You guys are such an inspiration 🥰
Best part: I hate grocery shopping. Can fill my deep freezer with meat and never go shopping again 😆
I associate the expense of needing a backup generator with getting a deep freezer and filling it with meat. Too many power outages.
@ true. We live in Florida so I relate for sure.
Carnivore for a week or so and already down almost 10 lbs and can sit all day and not have kankles at the end of the day. Thank you both
Thank you for this video featuring both of you and your perspectives! I smiled when Laura mentioned meatballs since just last night I made a big batch of the bacon cheeseburger meatballs using your recipe! Even my wife (who doesn’t normally eat a lot of meat) loves those. I am going to recommend she watch this video. 😁
Been doing carnivore since August and have lost 45lbs so far. Not only that, but my leg, ankle and feet edema dramatically improved almost immediately! I think the hardest thing for me has been giving up the quick and easy convenience foods. So much daily cooking now ... if I'm not cooking, I'm cleaning up the kitchen and washing dishes. My microwave thinks I hate it! lol It's been totally worth it though and with a little planning, it's really no big deal. Thank God I retired 7 months ago and have more time to focus on the important things.
I hate cooking so I have my husband grill a week’s worth of hamburger patties at one time. Then once they cool down, I store them in ziplock bags (2 patties each) per serving, then put them in the freezer. When I’m hungry I just pull out a bag, throw it in the microwave and, bam, I don’t have to cook. Another trick I do is I cook all my ribeyes in my crock pot. I throw one in the pot in the morning then by lunch or dinner I have a very tender steak. I use crockpot bags so I don’t have a big mess to clean up afterwards. Now I only need to run my dish washer once a week. Lol
You guys are awesome! Thanks Laura and Chris for sharing your passion about carnivore. Your message reinforces the fact that eating meat is a simple and easy choice for optimum health. You appear so comfortable together, and that helps others relate to you and your inspiring video.
You guys are an inspiration!!! Thank you for the honesty.. I love the way you guys do the carnivore life because it is all about sustainability.. And you two are living proof in just your complexion and eyes.. So healthy looking..👀
You are both so authentic 🎉great video topic. Eating carnivore for four years. The hard part is boredom from lack of variety. But I had that feeling eating SAD, so what's different lol. I could make a huge list of the pain the SAD caused me.
There are SO MANY benefits from carnivore. You covered many of them, no crashes, no obsessions, no sugar cravings, no more reading labels, no more wondering what I ate that made me feel sick, no longer a slave to food, rarely go shopping etc. Hardest for me is eating animals, 😢 witnessing ppl eat like addicts, and wishing my family could experience all the benefits that come with the carnivore diet.
I really appreciate this honest video. Especially addressing "grieving" the foods that we may have grown up on or celebrated with at the holidays. This is a real issue, and it needs to be addressed more often by carnivores.
Thank you for the honesty especially about the grieving and figuring out new coping skills
Your testimonies are so powerful! So many blessed by your sharing. Thank you so much!
Thanks for being frank about this topic. The before and after photos showing the huge difference in just appearance was amazing and then to say that you don't need the meds is awesome. I wish more effort was put into the prevention of bad ailments other than here's a pill for that.
I couldn't do carnivore January, but I'm gearing up for a kick-start i February. Your videos are immensely helpful to me. Thank you ❤
Love your transparency! I am glad you aren’t so rigid like other Carnivore “police”! Your videos resonate more with me than any other! Loved this “conversation”! Thank you!
Me too!
✨✨✨I believe CARNIVORE has to reasonably doable….I use spices, 🧅onion, 🧄garlic, 🌶red hot pepper flakes to add flavour to my meats. I think I own every spice blend known to man…and every spice! From all around the world. I wish I could learn how to 🥚🥚🥚cook eggs in at least 750 different ways…recipes from all around the 🌎world for a change of taste. No boredom there‼‼
I use stevia in my coffee and tea and enjoy coffees and teas from all around the 🌎world.
Water💧💧💧I cannot stand the taste of…even filtered water…and bottled water is not that healthy either. Bottled water contains micro-plastics. No thanks.
Bottom line, give yourself permission to be flexible and do not worry about the “police”👮
The only thing that is constant…I eat 🥩meat, 🥓bacon and 🍳eggs!
Could not agree more.
i was on Carnivore for 4 months and had my annual blood test and my Dr called me flipping out about my cholesterol 235 over all and 1630 this and... I said hold on I am on the Carnivore diet and all the eggs and butter and meat is causing this. I will add back in some fruit and vegs. She calmed down. My blood tests have always been perfect. I was 69 years old at the time and also going through the most stress of my life my wife left me for another guy. I am find now and dating all is well stress wise. I am very happy. I am going back to being a Carnivore. My eczema cleared up my joints don't hurt my constipation cleared up. Energy level was constant. I only ate twice a day. Some times once. I loved it. I just wasn't expecting the Dr to flip out.
Thanks. Oh I am 70 years old.
This channel is so informative and welcoming. You both look amazing have lived this lifestyle for 7 years! You are both a real testament of the possibilities for all of us working through the process…. Thank you and Happy New Year 🎊
Your videos are so good!! They are so full of information tips and pointers, makes it somewhat easier to stick to it.
Carnivore does come with those challenges early, but after 2.5 years, it’s sup easy. Parties, travel, gatherings are easy to overcome. Healthy lifestyle can be hard, but in comparison to your life prior, that was hard and was quickly becoming harder. Carnivore is easy and life gets easier.
So good, thank you for mentioning the part about missing foods and the challenge of overcoming emotional eating. That’s me. I’m tired of quitting because I told myself I had a hard day so I reach for a cookie or something unhealthy. I have to choose my health over my (very) temporary happiness from a brownie.
I find carnivore much cheaper - dinner was a grass fed burger from Costco and a mug of chicken broth. Cost about $2. (Cheat was three organic dill pickles 😉)
I love dill 🥒🥒🥒pickles (in threes) when I did not eat enough and crave something….but I don’t know what. The sour dills change the taste in my mouth and that makes all the difference in the 🌎world‼It works for me.
@ yes! I know it’s a carnivore no no but it’s basically just crunchy salt water imo. I like that Laura and her husband do not insist on dogmatic maximalist behavior. 👏🏻
Thanks for sharing tips and tricks and the health benefits. You guys are a great looking couple and no doubt helping many people including me.
I don't have any huge health issues, so the best thing for me is how rarely I have to eat (ergo, cook and clean up after). I used to have this hanger attacks on a "normal healthy" diet, and even with keto it just goes away. So liberating.
It also just happens that all my favorite foods are carnivore, so I love it
The constant questions about why you are doing this?
I'm a non conformant, and I'm willing to try anything to heal my aches and pains.
Through both of you, we all see that this is a long-term plan and not the "normal" loose and gain back plan, so thank you.
Thanks for your talk.19 months carnivore. Still enjoying the ruminant meat!
My best is less inflammation.
Yes for sure I feel way better with no inflammation
Isn’t it funny how yall have to defend your experiences
Thanx for being real ❣️Great family interactions
Yes me too. So true!
Inflammation is my reason for coming to Carnivore. Healing my body.
Yes, less inflammation for me as well eating the carnivore way!👍
Love it! Would love to hear more about Chris being a carnivore/sahd! Maybe day in the life video on how he handles dad duty and staying on track. I struggle with being home all day with kids or with their friends/other parents and just being surrounded by food all the time! I was able to stay on track before having kids when I was working a lot. I’m not as lucky to have a carnivore spouse. Hubby is very supportive but him and the kids are more meat based and like homemade sourdough, veggies, and more keto/paleo things.
Thank you for being so honest and sharing them struggles along with the benefits.
Thanks you so much for all your refreshingly honest, down-to-earth info, it is greatly appreciated!
I've always been successful on the carnivore diet. Went on a binge since October and plan to jump back on tomorrow. I normally fast for the first day then go straight to carnivore to clean out my system. Thanks for the video and the reminder of how good this works.
Thanks for being honest and talking about the difficult parts of carnivore too!
Awesome!!! The comparison picture (@15 seconds) says it ALL... That's the best reason of all. Great Job!
Hi Laura,
Would it be possible if Chris did a video with describing the process he went through reversing his T2 diabetes. What changes in his body did he see first etc.. I havent seen a video like this and I am trying to do the same thing. Thanks, really enjoy your videos.
Stumbled across this video. Thank you for your honesty. We are just starting and what you said helped.
You guys are definitely glowing! Well done! 🤩🤩
Rib eyes most every night. Sometimes hamburger. Last night, mussels, salmon sashimi, with a side of ground beef. Bacon and eggs, sausage and eggs. Sometimes wagyu beef or a tomahawk for a treat. BBQ, instapot, fried, smoked, baked.
Its not a boring lifestyle. I make my own butter, L-reuteri yogurt, beef jerky.
So good.😊
Thank you for your honesty about the hard parts of carnivore.
Carnivore is a life changer for me, my BP went down to 120/76 previously 179/101; brain fog ; inflammation
You are the one that motivated me to start and I’m happy
Thank you
0:50 LMNT electrolytes confessed that they add Maltodextrin to their flavored versions. Maltodextrin is a starch/sugar that is 105 in the glycemic index.
Edit: The unflavored versions doesn't have Maltodextrin added in them.
It was on their website prior to this, there was no confession. LOL Not to mention you also left out the information that the unflavored does not have maltodextrin. Shady comment. The small amount added to the flavored are unlikely for the vast majority of people to have an issue, even Dr. Berry has said this.
So don't drink it.
Not the unflavored. There are cheaper alternatives anyway. The nice thing is, you don’t have to buy it to watch the channel.
... i don't like ads for sponsorship what so ever
@ guess you are gonna have to just live with the modern world even if you don't like it. lmao
Thank you for this video. We are starting carnivore tomorrow and looking forward for that!!!
You will love it‼
What do you recommend for kids birthdays when you’re trying to help them not crave sugar, but birthday cake and treats have been a tradition?
You both look so vibrant and healthy!
Thank you for all you’ve shared and being so open with all your journey, the good and the bad. What does your family eat for the holidays? Our family wants to try it and we think it will be a challenge to go through the holidays.
Thank you both.
Omg this helped me a lot …. I’m just starting out this is my second week on and I was just thinking I don’t know if I can do this but listen to you guys I think I can hang in there
Happy New Year 🎆
Thank you for sharing this video 🥰
The best of carnivore is reduced inflammation and allergic rhinitis attacks 🤸♀️
The world of carnivore is I REALLY need to plan my grocery trips and my weekly meals 🤪🛒
Could be worse 😉
Wow the before and after photos are just stunning
I have been buying a variety of meat and dividing them up into bags, chicken wings, meatballs, pork belly etc then I don't get bored.
Question; have you two noticed you've gotten more attracted to each other and your relationship got better. Partly because you're healthier? Partly because you look better? Partly because you have a common interest to work together towards? Curious if this Journey carnivore diet has helped your relationship
Saw your page in my feed. I am a new subscriber. I like the components of this diet. Will be watching as often as I can!! You both look GREAT!!!
Great video. I am currently more ketovore than carnivore, but I have been everywhere on the low carb continuum. You definitely captured the best and the worst for me.
Even though I am not "carnivore" right now, I will say eating that way does make me feel my absolute best. I don't really know why I don't just do it all the time.
Great couple! ❤
The adaptation phase was the worst part for me. I quit twice because I couldn’t figure out how to feel better. Third times a charm and I am working through and overcoming the side effects and enjoying the stable mood and energy it provides in addition to healing aches, pains and inflammation.
I too can't really eat much after having my eggs and bacon. But I do believe that if you are still "over weight" and you feel full enough to skip a meal you should. If you find that you weight is stalled then you should just walk. Here is why I believe this: if you walk long enough (over 30min even at a slow pace) your body has no choice but to slow burn the massive amounts of fat left on your body. If you try to run or over workout all its going to do is stress you out, make you tired and hungry. Walking does none of that. If you reached your goal weight and you are starting to feel tired, get headaches and moody you are under eating. This is when I would suggest dairy or some kind of sauce that would entice you to eat a little more. Instead of eating once a day, spread out your fat and protein into smaller meals. I personally hate the idea of snacking or eating multiple times a day because that's what made me fat before. I like fasting, having a flat stomach and eating like an animal once a day. But if you are not active and eating so little that your metabolism slows down you have to spread the meals out, eat more, or walk. I DO NOT recommend running or forcing yourself to do HIT or weights to force yourself out of a stall. That never works.
I really enjoyed this video!! Very motivating!!💪💪💪
I started Carnivore Jan 2nd! I have been watching your channel for much longer and finally decided to jump in. I am down 11.8 lbs🎉
Down 14.4 now!!
Boring? Others have pasta and fries about every day. I have chicken breast with butter, chicken tenders, chicken wings, chicken broth, burger patties, meatballs, all kind of cooked and roasted beef, beef broth, cooked or fried salted pork belly, crunchy pork legs, rips and all sort of cuts, lamb, 4 kind of fish (that is not so expensive), shrimps and seafood, fried eggs, steamed eggs, scrambled eggs with different kind of cheese, yoghurt, cream cheese, creme fraiche/ sour cream, cream, whipped cream, BUTTER ...all sorts of meat, boring people would never dare to try, like tongue. If you add sugar free seasoning you can multiply your dishes tastes. you can have creamy sauces like hollandaise or just cook your chickenbreast in the oven... in cream and topped with cheese... I hear the kitchen calling...
I’m on my 10th day, and your vides are helping me a lot, thank you!!!
Worst thing is that I have to pick meat out ftom between my teeth after eating, but that's no deterrent ❤
haha very true!! I always have flossers on me for this exact reason! Good one! A waterpik has been a game changer!
😂
One thing about carnivore that I find quite annoying is having to get bits of meat out of my teeth after every meal.
This is a fantastic, honest video. Realistic. Thank you ❤
Thanks for sharing guys, very encouraging. I'm not carnivore yet, but heading that way, I eat meat, avacados every day, I eat some vegetables but hate them.
This channel is veey encouraging. Thank younfornsharing your joruney
I have been Carnivore for 2 years and UNFORTUNATELY my blood pressure has actually increased. Lost 40ish pounds but my blood pressure has risen and has not done anything for my lower back pain.
What's an average day of eating like for you?
Dr Barry has a video regarding blood pressure and other causes not weight so you might want to look that up

The Holidays are the worst part
