I started carnivore a year ago. Soon after I started, the whole thing came up to eat a stick of butter a day...so I did! I gained 20 pounds. I'm now doing PSMF days 3 times a week. I'm feeling great now, and losing weight. Thank you so much, both of you❤
Question please does fasting put you in ketosis? I do fasting and carnivore but a keto person told me that when I fast the body eats up muscle not fat for energy is this true?
I Hear you & respect you. I've been Carnivore 5 months. Lost 42 lbs. 20 more to reach goal. What's most important to me is that all my Arthritis & inflammation have completely disappeared! I'm able to walk outside everyday now. I decided not to get that knee surgery that was suggested before Carnivore. I feel great.
Maria hit the nail on the head when she made a point of saying Carnivore Influencers who are lean and in very good shape WITHOUT all the body fat to lose can eat the extra fat and be fine. But those with the fat to lose who are not so fortunate cannot get away with that. Just like other commenters have stated, trying that only led to weight gain. I think a very important point that Maria and Craig always make is that everyone's weight loss story is different. Their needs are different and that is what they teach us. There are so many great people here on RUclips to teach us but there are also a lot of "New Carnivore Experts" and it is easy to become confused. So educate yourself and it may take some experimenting to find what works but it is worth it. THANK YOU BOTH FOR ALL YOU DO!
You two are doing such a great service to us fatties because I have been watching those skinny girls who were never fat in the first place, talking about eating the butter... I have been fat since I was two years old... only a very few years of my life I was slim... I ate because of stress and needing comfort... emotional eating that led me to becoming a carb-addict... and so many people have no idea that carb addiction is real... I have been Carnivore for four and a half years worried all the time about not eating enough fat because of all these Carnivore people saying it is essential on this way of eating... but I never lost one single pound, even eating OMAD... one ribeye per day and maybe a couple of pieces of bacon... no... no weight loss... Thankfully I found you... Today, finally I went to your Macro page and found out I have 56% fat on my body... and I never realized that... I know I am fat... but holy-moly... no wonder I have not been losing weight I ate too much... a whole ribeye in one day!....
This makes so much sense to me. When I did low carb for a long time, it wasn't all the stick of butter. I did keto. No stick of butter. Came back to it all now and everyone is pushing down butter. And it didn't work for me. The PSMF really does work and because not every day is a psmf day, it's not even risky ❤
Wonderful information that I needed to hear. I'm 7 weeks carnivore with an enormous amount of weight to lose. I've been loving the food, gleefully slathering butter over everything, but been disappointed that I haven't been losing weight as fast as I'd like. Now I know why. ☺
Omg....I am 250lbs and 5'9 - this is THE first video to make sense for me what I need NOW! I know what you eat is not what I SHOULD eat right now. I am headed to your website to start digging in! THANK YOU BOTH! ....and we love the charts 😁💋
@@craigemmerich So say someone ate nothing but coconut oil so no carbs no protein so they would have zero or extremely low insulin. If they ate more fat than they metabolized it would all be stored in adipose tissue without any insulin or very low insulin correct?
@@ethan74105 yes, it will still end up if the fat cells for storage. If it doesn’t, that would mean your triglycerides would be sky high and nobody wants that. The body can store fat even with small increases in insulin (and Acylation-stimulating protein (ASP) will place dietary lipids in storage without an acute rise in insulin levels.)
@@ethan74105 depends on many factors. Some couple be water loss, etc. I would say 1 1/2 pounds in one day would be on the high end of what you can do in fat only.
I quit watching channels that are not hosted by a doctor or nutritionist due to the misinformation they were providing such as eat a stick of butter per day. Thank you for the informative channel.
Maria, the more I watch you the more I like you! I must say at first you rubbed me the wrong way. I was too quick to judge. I think you are a wonderful ,caring person. ❤ Keep doing what you’re doing. God bless you.
Wow! This seems like a back-handed compliment… I loved her from the beginning!! Her humble and sweet spirit was so apparent. ❤ It makes me feel happy just hearing her talk! They are ALL such a wholesome family.
I've been eating a carnivore diet for 5 years. Last Fall, I came across Stephanie Person's channel, and she convinced me that I needed to increase my fat intake by a lot. I have gained 25 lbs in half a year, which has been devastating. I can't afford to keep buying new clothes. I have been thin all my life, and now I don't recognize my body, and I am exhausted all the time. I guess I will check out what you guys are saying and hope for the best.
1. It easy for the majority of people to overeat fat. 2. Always remember that each guru relates ONLY/mostly to how the diet works for themselves respectively. This is why you have to make sure if what they say applies to you or not
I started keto to get skinny, but switched to carnivore to be healthy. 6'1", 210 lbs. 54 year old male. Fitter and better than I was at 24! I have no clue what my macros are. I just eat when I'm hungry. Lots of tri-tip mostly. Some days if I feel like I need more fat I will add several tablespoons of butter to my coffee. Just had my bloodwork done after eating this way for almost three years. HDL up, LDL and triglycerides down. Skinny is no longer my goal and I think a person could take it too far.
If you aren't trying to lose weight, then this video isn't for you. Many men can do carnivore without tracking macros and have good success. Many women can't.
This makes so much sense! I use keto to heal my body. Only needed to lose 20 lbs. I'm naturally thin. However at 67 years old, I need protein. I realized I actually needed to lower my fat intake a bit, or the weight starts to come back on. I don't have much in the way of fat reserves. 😮 love the charts!😊
Correct…..I am always dubious about nutrition charts (not referring to yours) because they vary so widely in in their content. I therefore do what my body knows. I train fasted and do not lose muscle.
I did a high fat carnivore diet for 4 months and now my digestive system is really messed up. I am starting the PSMF 3x a week to hopefully fix it. Currently I am not feeling my best but I am sure this WOE by Maria and Craig will be the answer. I am currently 160lbs 60yr old female with a 46% Body Fat Percentage. Eating this way I was able to get down to 135lbs just 1 year ago. I have gained almost everything back less 20lbs.
Thanks, sweet people! You are helping to get me on track! Having Lyme disease and its co-inhabitors at 66 and I have tried everything, yes, everything I really need to get a hold of you! I am so tired of fighting for my life! My heart it affected as everything! One knee, bone on bone! Can't and haven't done medical drugs because I can't tolerate them! So knee surgery is out! I will try to learn more then connect you!❤
Thank you for this sound advice! I have stopped following so many people because they jumped on the low protein high fat train. It may work for some, as you mentioned, but not the masses of followers who are yo-yoing their way through these different dietary “challenges” because it works for someone else in a different context of life. BTW, Craig’s charts are great and very informative! 😊
Just watched your macro video. I was so frustrated because thought was doing so well without results I wanted and now after calculator I know why. Thank you! Also calculated protein is what my nephrologist had suggested.
I was trying to eat more butter after seeing so many carnivores on IG promoting it. I started to gain weight though, I'm glad I stopped after a short time. I don't want to lose muscle. Thanks for all you both do.
Thank you two for these types of videos, a lot of people like my self get confused with all of the information coming in around us. It is nice just to get hard facts for a change.
Brilliant as always!!! For sure high protein and less fat is my way, always thanks to both of you!! ♥♥♥♥ Such amazing charts, graphs, information. And 100% true. You both helped me heal, have a whole new life now!
Everything I know about how to lose weight I learned from you two So thankful for you and because of you I was able to weed out all these butter and fat fanatics and stick to the basic concept that you and Craig have been teaching
This is the best program I’ve seen. Thank you both for sharing the information. The high fat contents I’ve seen on other RUclips videos was not doable for me.
Thank you for this. This makes a lot more sense to me, I am so glad I don't need to consume the butter. I was struggling to get on board with that one. I do enjoy eating meat and will go back to the way I was consuming meat as a priority and mentally I was a lot happier eating that way. Thank you.
Make sure you are following proper macros. You can get them here for free (just be sure to read the notes at the top of the calculator) mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/ Or, we can do them for you here: keto-adapted.com/product/macro-assessment/
This is the first video that makes 100% sense to me. What finally clicked is that in *any* case, high protein is good (and will also help make me feel full longer b/c, instead of fat doing that job, protein is doing that, which I also didn’t realize). NOW I also understand that if I have fat to lose (and I do, lol) “*adding*” way more fat is not going to help me “*right now*” as I’m trying to lower my body fat percentage, however, once I no longer need to loose fat, that’s when I start “*upping my fat intake for balance/maintenance*”. Mind blown because I’ve been experimenting w/this approach by chance (including making and eating your PSMF Hawaiian rolls, along with intermittent fasting) and I am actually seeing results, so thank you for your explanation (of the what, why and when). Thank you!!
I am a big fan of the lean, high protein keto. I did the psmf a few years ago and have great success. I track my weight each weight and I lost every week except the week we went to Hawaii. I am closer to maintenance mode now. I guess my fat are around 100g and my protein is around 120g but not sure if that good or not. I am 64 now but feel 35
Another brilliant and insightful video! All of these influencers many of whom are medical doctors that eating fat won’t make you fat is really misleading. People will give more weight to their authority like I did. But my personal experience proves the opposite which is to your point. Many misunderstand PSMF and dismiss it quickly, but it has been the only tool that broke through my fat loss stall.
@@Karen_Busch You have specific macros and calories for fat loss meant to be achieved the other days you don't do PSMF. PSMF days are at a lower calorie target than the specific fat loss macros/calories, which are meant to fill in the rest of the week.
@Maria Emmerich and Craig, thanks so much for explaining this in more detail. Helps me to understand what everything means and what I need to do. Craig's graphs are awesome 💯👍
I have watched every video y’all have to help me understand! I don’t want this as a diet but a lifestyle. I had mentioned the recipes, I’m trying to figure out my first day of keto, what to eat and how much? I’ve cleaned my house out of everything bad, even the peas!! Where do I go for the first day. Yes, losing weight, I’m at 230, and wanting to be better at this! Where do I go for beginners and first day?

Hi Maria & Craig - I always get excited when I see another new video posted from you! I’m wondering where you two stand regarding intermittent fasting or even 3-4 day fasts? Do y’all have any videos that talk about fasting and/or one meal a day? How about in conjunction with protein sparing modified fasting?
IF is a method of fasting that limits your eating window to reduce snacking/mindless eating/etc. We do not recommend fasts over 24 hours due to the risk of losing lean mass. Unless there is a medical condition like cancer/etc we never recommend extended fasting. mariamindbodyhealth.com/5-types-of-fasting-which-one-is-best-for-you/ mariamindbodyhealth.com/extended-fasting-causes-muscle-loss/
I observed this too. The obesity is off the charts in regional areas. I felt sick by what I saw because I know these people will have a life filled with illness. I saw children who were very fat too.
Now this makes sense...as a type 1 diabetic i couldn't wrap my mind around eating high fat....because i take insulin therefore...storage mode...plus my bloodsugar is higher when i eat butter, Any dairy for me and my bloodsugar is high even in very small amounts.
I'm a Keto follower who has been kicking around the same 4 or 5 pounds since November. I lost 25 pounds and lowered my Triglycerides, ALT, AST, A1C and got off blood pressure meds. I can't deny I feel better... HOWEVER, I am still about 45 pounds overweight. 😢 The scale finally started to move slightly when I started adding butter to my coffee (just about 1 TBS once daily), so now I'm more confused than ever. I've been obese since puberty with just a few times of being semi-successful and going into the overweight category. I'm doing this mostly for HEALTH as a recovering type 2 diabetic, but I would sure like to look better too.
Prioritizing protein while lower fat is the key. Not only for weight loss, but for reversing insulin resistance. More on that here: ruclips.net/video/OWukXR3F8II/видео.html
@@Karen_Busch I think Craig's reply was witheld because it has a link in it. Here you go: Prioritizing protein while lower fat is the key. Not only for weight loss, but for reversing insulin resistance. More on that here: ruclips.net/video/OWukXR3F8II/видео.html
I like how you measure protein in grams ... as opposed to locals. 5alking about calories of protein gives the wrong impression that we want protein to burn in our mitochondria.
I eat one meal a day usually a meat or salad with meat has took me a long time I started out cutting out sugar then I cut out most of the carbs have lost 120 so far.but it's been a journey.
So I’ve been Carnivore 62 days and finally have been able to sleep after 10 yrs having to use meds thanks to Carnivore. I’m staying the same weight so I tried Maria’s macro calculator and it had me at 1104 calories per day not on PSMF days. I didn’t sleep at all last night and the only change I made was following the macros. Finally, at 3:30 am I got up and did the TBsp of butter (Elizabeth Bright) & finally went to sleep. So as far as my system goes some butter & more calories is critical for my health. 🤷🏼♀️
What macros are you following? Were you sure to read the notes at the top of the calculator before you entered your information? Adding butter is not going to help you lose weight 🙏
@@MariaEmmerich I put my measurements into your macro calculator and it said if you want fastest fat loss use the default sedentary that was already set. I used the butter (for sleep) at 3:30 am after I hadn’t slept all night after going that low in calories. At this point I value my sleep more than weight loss after not sleeping for 10 yrs without meds. I was sleeping fine on Carnivore & only one day of going that low in cal/fat/protein I didn’t sleep & that was the only thing I changed. Have you had anyone else like that? 🦋
If you are popping awake at 3am every morning, that is a chronic low progesterone issue. Getting your macros right and balancing your hormones naturally with a clean ketogenic (or carnivore) diet and some natural supplements will help. keto-adapted.com/product/sleep-supplement-plan-women-only/
Great presentation, and the graphs are fantastic. I don't buy the sticks of butter either. Metabolism is not the same as you get older either and different for everyone.
I consume a lot of MCT oil and G butter, not only to kill my hunger, but to keep me, Lynn With low protein and works perfect I’m very muscular but not fat at all
Everyone is different. I eat tons of fat because I am not trying to lose weight and I am very athletic. But when weight loss is a goal, lowering your dietary fat intake is going to yield better fat loss results.
so I feel like we (the people) are being misled every way we turn. One guy says too much protein makes you gain, one says he only eats steak and water and salt, one says you HAVE to eat veg, others say you don't need veg at all. It's really tough to know who to believe anymore. It's just making ppl sicker.
show your son-in-law these two you tube channels "It's Tomorrow somewhere" (he has last 50+ pounds in the last 100 days on Keto/OMAD) and "Carnviore dietDante freedom" (cant remember his chan name but this will get you to his chan) he has lost 90+ pounds on carnviore in the past 2 years and his transformation is unbelievable. These two will motivate your son-in- law by seeing men losing weight and how they did it. Take care.
High fat low carb does not work for everyone. I lost almost zero weight after 12 weeks. However, after switching to low carb low fat, the weight loss was very quick.
I don't ever remember being suggested to do a stick of butter today, I do a teaspoon of fat once or twice a day, and then get the fat that's occurring in the protein that I'm eating, I never got the overdue fat from any of the people I've been watching and I haven't been where I've seen 85% fat I have seen 75% and I guess that's just because of the content naturally occurring plus the teaspoon of fat. It's working for me wonderfully I've lost 23 lb and 30 days, my also's tone definition is increasing, as my weight has been dropping I plateaued for a few days each week so I assumed that's when I was regaining muscle as I lost. And for the first time when I've lost weight my skin is actually going back with my weight loss, I mean I'm definitely not where I need to be, so therefore not this super tone creature but I don't have stuff literally hanging like I did on the diets that recommended higher carbs. I don't know, I'm just trying to learn first time that I got into trying to get healthy first versus losing the weight, and just went into this looking at it that if I focused on just getting healthy and eating nutritionally and getting rid of any and all garbage, I was just going to have the side effect of losing weight. And that's pretty much house but going. I'm watching a huge variety of people and I'm really trying to see when the information about What mechanisms is what foods and why. What nutrients make those mechanisms perform their duties What mechanisms are part of fat loss, what can accelerate them, without causing denture meant to something else. Cleaning up and protecting my gut biome. Mostly getting rid of inflammation which is the root cause of all the health problems. I'm grateful for all those that are out there educating on real nutrition and the actions they take in our bodies along with the health processes that we have control over such as autophagy. This has been a journey for me reconnecting with my body. Listening to it. our bodies are wondrous miraculous machines ! Fully encoded to be able to perform any thing we need to bring us to Good health. It's just to up to us as individuals, to learn, and take responsibility for a job that no one else can do for us. As long as we can be able to watch shows like this, we can gain the knowledge implement positive relationships with food. Food mentality should definitely not be a crowd mentality. Our mainstream thinking on food is disastrous. Millions of us must know deep in our core something wasn't right as is evidenced by how many followers you and your contemporaries now have. Thanks for your dedication.and I love your recipes
I would like your assistance in losing weight. I have lost 100 pounds but I have plateaued for over a year. I believe I am metabolism adapted. I don’t want to cut calories any more than I have! In fact, I would like to eat more normally. I work out as well but my body REALLY likes its fat and doesn’t like to give it up. Please help!

My hair thinned out within 3 months of doing Keto in 2019. Changed to Carnivore in 2020 and have remained Carnivore since. I started increasing fats such as butter and coconut oil last summer and noticed a bit of hair growth but I've gained some weight. I'm scared to go back to what you're suggesting (lower fat) as I'm wondering if that's why my hair thinned out.
Yes, typically it will after a couple months. Could be a deficiency. Like a zinc or low progesterone/estrogen. I health assessment would help me get to the bottom of it. :) keto-adapted.com/product/assessment-form/
I'm very frustrated.. I want to lose 20 pounds of FAT.. I've tried carnivore.. after 3 weeks if have lost a thing!!! I'm not hungry.. I like the taste, and I could keep doing carnivore if I could see weight loss? I'm not overeating.. I'm not eating a stick of butter but I do find adding butter helps me not be hungry.. I'm ready to go back to salads and veggies.
Hello Maria, can I incorporate psmf days into my diet while I breastfeed? At this point, I have been carnivore 2 months now and have lost just over 20 pounds; and my supply has been stable as long as I eat enough, drink water and include fat. Do you think psmf days/selected meals can work for me too, or is it not advisable? Have about 80 more pounds to go.
My area is in the RED! Yesterday, I shared your recipe for Egg Pudding with a dear friend of mind who has MS and her husband has diabetes and both are quite heavy. They are going through tough times financially but they raise their own chickens so they have plenty of eggs. She says she would gain too much weight. :-(
Hello,I’ve bought several books thank you both. I’ve listen too you for several years on and off Thant’s on me😢. Anyway QUESTION, if I’m eating my protein your saying I don’t need to eat extra fat if I’m understanding you correctly? Because I already have it to loose is that what your saying ,or am I still missing your point. I’ll just say what I hear you say if you eat a steak your getting your nutrients from that and your loosening the fat your needing to loose,but if you were active such as Maria that would be a whole different store. AM i hearing you ✅ correct,I need to get this right once in for all. Please and thank you 🙏. Have a wonderful day.love the whales.😊
Correct. You do need dietary fat for healthy hormones and proper nutrient absorption. But we are talking about adding excessive dietary fat when your body has fat to lose. Get your proper macros here: mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/
Thank you so much for this video it makes so much sense! So, I have a question: if I'm not going to add any EXTRA fat to my diet is it okay to go ahead and eat the skin with the chicken or do I need to eat just the meat? I know there was a mention of eating fat with steak so I just wondered if that applied across the board with things like chicken skin. Thanks for all your help and all your wonderful information and videos! I love those charts to! Those are incredibly helpful!
I have seen some say a stick of butter for the purpose of healing autoimmune or inflammatory disease and to drive female horomone production, to drive down cortisol. Is this different than losing weight?
Grass fed grass finished beef is typically less fatty due to the nature of their diet, but I don't know the exact comparison. You do not need to supplement CLA on a well formulated ketogenic or carnivore diet :)
If a person is overweight, is it okay to eat low fat - high protein until weight is normalised, then introduce more fat? I was thinking for example, fillet steak and lamb cutlets. The lamb contains a fair bit of fat, so is it fine not to add any more fat (if you're overweight)?
If weight loss is a goal fat should absolutely be used for leverage! Prioritize lean animal protein always, and implement some PSMF days to accelerate results.
Some people say that to much protein will make you insulin high. Is that true? Or is it the fat that makes it high. If I don't eat fat I get constipated. I have noticed to much butter I get belly fat. What do I do? I'm sorry for all the questions. I am confused one carnivore says eat more fat and another says eat more protein.
Protein is not chocolate cake ;) That is a myth. For constipation, you need salt not fat. Very little fat is passed in the stool. Increase your sodium 🙏
@@MariaEmmerich thank you for your reply. Yes ma'am I'm seeing that eating to much protein and fat is not good. I have tried to up my salt intake . if I eat a lot of salt I retain water. Iwill gain three pounds of water. How much salt do you recommend for a 5'2 110 lbs. Female? Thank you
Ive been tracking my macros based on your calculator ans have been folowing it closely. Ive lost 14 lbs. I do enjoy having 1/2 to 3/4 Tbsp of mct oil in my coffee with the same amt of cream but track it as part of those macros and am consistently losing weight. Is it ok as long as im carefully following the c, f, p macros daily gram allowances and fitting that small amount in as part of my daily fat?
Way to go! For best results I do not recommend BPC or coffee at all for that matter. And adding fat just to add it (like MCT in coffee) is counterproductive for consistent results. Eventually it could cause you to stall 🙏
Can you tell us why someone can get their triglycerides down and hdl up and still see high ldl and total cholesterol values. I ask this based on someone who eats low carb, moderate fats (mct and avocado more so) and a good amount of protein.
Ideal trig/HDL ratio is 2.0 to 1.0 or less. With LDL, what matters is particle size and presence of inflammation. To know your true risk for CVD, get a CAC score.
I have trouble eating enough protein. Is there a high protein low fat low carb shake you recommend for people who are obese and need to up their protein? I don’t exercise much and I want to start but since starting low carb my energy levels have decreased a lot.
For low energy you need electrolytes. Tracking and replenishing them is not optional on a low carb diet: mariamindbodyhealth.com/how-to-balance-electrolytes/ It is not difficult to reach your daily protein goal when you prioritize the correct lean animal protein sources. And you should always chew your food instead of relying on shakes; it registers leptin better to help with satiety. Watch this: ruclips.net/video/v0WimlRHbME/видео.htmlsi=UZk5LSy0-8dj2jt9
It seems the keto/carnivore community can’t decide on what’s best. 15 years ago it was high fat then went high protein and now it’s swung back toward higher fats again. 😢 I just don’t know and being an obese single mum I just don’t have the money needed to pay for these programs to see if that works. Can’t be that hard can it?

I’m 5’3” 73 years old. I’m trying to get my protein up but not even close while eating 1103 calories suggested by the app. What proteins do you suggest? Thank you
Im nearly 4 years "high fat" carnivore. Its really great for me because ive atopped having seizures that ive been suffering for since i was 5. Now im 44. And hypothyroid - had the operation. I lost 70lb in my first year but 30lb has crept back on and i sont know what the issue is? Blood tests have come back great, thyroid tests have come back great. So why have i put on 30lb and stalled at around 180 + lb.. i just sont know.. and i eat omad - because if i eat 3 eggs and 2 burgers with a bit of cheese melted ontop, it fills me up for the day. Its the same if i eat eggs and oxtail, eggs and steak.. so satiating. I dont want to eat again.. im so feustrated.. can anybody help?
I think you need to reduce the fat and increase the protein. We also don't recommend OMAD as you don't get enough protein in one meal to maintain your muscle. We have seen several seizure clients, after being keto for a while and getting seizure under control, who can lower the dietary fat and increase protein and still have good seizure control. Our friend has done this very well. You can follow her on Twitter here: twitter.com/seizuresalad314?s=11&t=WZgc4P4HRJGA3ObSLwp4Cg
I started carnivore a year ago. Soon after I started, the whole thing came up to eat a stick of butter a day...so I did! I gained 20 pounds. I'm now doing PSMF days 3 times a week. I'm feeling great now, and losing weight. Thank you so much, both of you❤
You got this!
I can’t thank you, both, enough for all of the knowledge you share❣️
Question please does fasting put you in ketosis? I do fasting and carnivore but a keto person told me that when I fast the body eats up muscle not fat for energy is this true?
What’s your definition of PSMF?
For me it’s opposite !
I think this was the video that convinced me that Maria and Craig's approach made the most sense compared to other "experts" that I was watching.
Awesomeness! I'm so glad this helps :)
I Hear you & respect you. I've been Carnivore 5 months. Lost 42 lbs. 20 more to reach goal. What's most important to me is that all my Arthritis & inflammation have completely disappeared! I'm able to walk outside everyday now. I decided not to get that knee surgery that was suggested before Carnivore. I feel great.
Way to go!

I ate because of stress and needing comfort... emotional eating that led me to becoming a carb-addict... and so many people have no idea that carb addiction is real... I have been Carnivore for four and a half years worried all the time about not eating enough fat because of all these Carnivore people saying it is essential on this way of eating... but I never lost one single pound, even eating OMAD... one ribeye per day and maybe a couple of pieces of bacon... no... no weight loss... Thankfully I found you... Today, finally I went to your Macro page and found out I have 56% fat on my body... and I never realized that... I know I am fat... but holy-moly... no wonder I have not been losing weight I ate too much... a whole ribeye in one day!....
This makes so much sense to me. When I did low carb for a long time, it wasn't all the stick of butter. I did keto. No stick of butter. Came back to it all now and everyone is pushing down butter. And it didn't work for me. The PSMF really does work and because not every day is a psmf day, it's not even risky ❤
Wonderful information that I needed to hear. I'm 7 weeks carnivore with an enormous amount of weight to lose. I've been loving the food, gleefully slathering butter over everything, but been disappointed that I haven't been losing weight as fast as I'd like. Now I know why. ☺
Glad it was helpful!
Omg....I am 250lbs and 5'9 - this is THE first video to make sense for me what I need NOW! I know what you eat is not what I SHOULD eat right now. I am headed to your website to start digging in! THANK YOU BOTH! ....and we love the charts 😁💋
Thanks!
@@craigemmerich So say someone ate nothing but coconut oil so no carbs no protein so they would have zero or extremely low insulin. If they ate more fat than they metabolized it would all be stored in adipose tissue without any insulin or very low insulin correct?
@@ethan74105 yes, it will still end up if the fat cells for storage. If it doesn’t, that would mean your triglycerides would be sky high and nobody wants that. The body can store fat even with small increases in insulin (and Acylation-stimulating protein (ASP) will place dietary lipids in storage without an acute rise in insulin levels.)
@@craigemmerich Is it normal to lose about 1 to 1.5 lbs per day on a psmf?
@@ethan74105 depends on many factors. Some couple be water loss, etc. I would say 1 1/2 pounds in one day would be on the high end of what you can do in fat only.
This episode is exactly what I needed to confirm my thoughts on the carnivore high fat issue. I need more protein, less fat.
Thank you!
I quit watching channels that are not hosted by a doctor or nutritionist due to the misinformation they were providing such as eat a stick of butter per day.
Thank you for the informative channel.
Thanks for watching!
Maria, the more I watch you the more I like you! I must say at first you rubbed me the wrong way. I was too quick to judge. I think you are a wonderful ,caring person. ❤ Keep doing what you’re doing. God bless you.
Wow! This seems like a back-handed compliment… I loved her from the beginning!! Her humble and sweet spirit was so apparent. ❤ It makes me feel happy just hearing her talk! They are ALL such a wholesome family.
I needed to hear this. I've been eating too much fat. Thanks!
I've been eating a carnivore diet for 5 years. Last Fall, I came across Stephanie Person's channel, and she convinced me that I needed to increase my fat intake by a lot. I have gained 25 lbs in half a year, which has been devastating. I can't afford to keep buying new clothes. I have been thin all my life, and now I don't recognize my body, and I am exhausted all the time. I guess I will check out what you guys are saying and hope for the best.
1. It easy for the majority of people to overeat fat.
2. Always remember that each guru relates ONLY/mostly to how the diet works for themselves respectively. This is why you have to make sure if what they say applies to you or not
This, unfortunately, is very common. We have seen this a ton with clients. :(
@@craigemmerich Do people tend to lose the weight when they cut back the fat again?
@@SarahDale111 yes, they do. Just get your macros right and give it time. :)
@@craigemmerich Thank you 🙂
I started keto to get skinny, but switched to carnivore to be healthy. 6'1", 210 lbs. 54 year old male. Fitter and better than I was at 24! I have no clue what my macros are. I just eat when I'm hungry. Lots of tri-tip mostly. Some days if I feel like I need more fat I will add several tablespoons of butter to my coffee.
Just had my bloodwork done after eating this way for almost three years. HDL up, LDL and triglycerides down.
Skinny is no longer my goal and I think a person could take it too far.
If you aren't trying to lose weight, then this video isn't for you. Many men can do carnivore without tracking macros and have good success. Many women can't.
This makes so much sense! I use keto to heal my body. Only needed to lose 20 lbs. I'm naturally thin. However at 67 years old, I need protein. I realized I actually needed to lower my fat intake a bit, or the weight starts to come back on. I don't have much in the way of fat reserves. 😮 love the charts!😊
Correct…..I am always dubious about nutrition charts (not referring to yours) because they vary so widely in in their content. I therefore do what my body knows. I train fasted and do not lose muscle.
Thank you guys for saving me from the stick of butter a day bullshit
12:11 YES!!! This chart is amazing!! It really drives the message home!! 📊❤
I did a high fat carnivore diet for 4 months and now my digestive system is really messed up. I am starting the PSMF 3x a week to hopefully fix it. Currently I am not feeling my best but I am sure this WOE by Maria and Craig will be the answer. I am currently 160lbs 60yr old female with a 46% Body Fat Percentage. Eating this way I was able to get down to 135lbs just 1 year ago. I have gained almost everything back less 20lbs.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WILL FIX THAT IMMEDIATELY
Don't stop preaching and teaching love you both charts are so great they get in your face❤
Always the voices of reason ❤
Thanks, sweet people! You are helping to get me on track! Having Lyme disease and its co-inhabitors at 66 and I have tried everything, yes, everything I really need to get a hold of you! I am so tired of fighting for my life! My heart it affected as everything! One knee, bone on bone! Can't and haven't done medical drugs because I can't tolerate them! So knee surgery is out! I will try to learn more then connect you!❤
Thank you for this sound advice! I have stopped following so many people because they jumped on the low protein high fat train. It may work for some, as you mentioned, but not the masses of followers who are yo-yoing their way through these different dietary “challenges” because it works for someone else in a different context of life. BTW, Craig’s charts are great and very informative! 😊
Thank you so much!
Just watched your macro video. I was so frustrated because thought was doing so well without results I wanted and now after calculator I know why. Thank you! Also calculated protein is what my nephrologist had suggested.
You got this!
I was trying to eat more butter after seeing so many carnivores on IG promoting it. I started to gain weight though, I'm glad I stopped after a short time. I don't want to lose muscle. Thanks for all you both do.
Thank you for a great video. I love PSMF and fast fat loss days. And also enjoy once a week the maintenance day. ❤️
Thank you two for these types of videos, a lot of people like my self get confused with all of the information coming in around us. It is nice just to get hard facts for a change.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant as always!!! For sure high protein and less fat is my way, always thanks to both of you!! ♥♥♥♥ Such amazing charts, graphs, information. And 100% true. You both helped me heal, have a whole new life now!
Everything I know about how to lose weight I learned from you two
So thankful for you and because of you I was able to weed out all these butter and fat fanatics and stick to the basic concept that you and Craig have been teaching
Thanks!
You made our day!
This is the best program I’ve seen. Thank you both for sharing the information. The high fat contents I’ve seen on other RUclips videos was not doable for me.
Thank you 🙏🥰
Maria & Craig I just want to say I love you, and thank you so much for sharing this valuable information with us. I am very grateful to you.❤
You are so welcome sweetheart! 🙏🥰❤️
Thank you for this. This makes a lot more sense to me, I am so glad I don't need to consume the butter. I was struggling to get on board with that one. I do enjoy eating meat and will go back to the way I was consuming meat as a priority and mentally I was a lot happier eating that way. Thank you.
I'm so glad it was helpful :)
This makes so much sense. I couldn't wrap my mind on eating 2 sticks of butter a day as a few suggest.
I just can't seem to lose weight no matter what I do. I only want to lose 25 lbs I'm so defeated. Thank you for all this great information.

Thank you Craig and Maria for another awesome video. ❤❤
This is the first video that makes 100% sense to me. What finally clicked is that in *any* case, high protein is good (and will also help make me feel full longer b/c, instead of fat doing that job, protein is doing that, which I also didn’t realize). NOW I also understand that if I have fat to lose (and I do, lol) “*adding*” way more fat is not going to help me “*right now*” as I’m trying to lower my body fat percentage, however, once I no longer need to loose fat, that’s when I start “*upping my fat intake for balance/maintenance*”. Mind blown because I’ve been experimenting w/this approach by chance (including making and eating your PSMF Hawaiian rolls, along with intermittent fasting) and I am actually seeing results, so thank you for your explanation (of the what, why and when). Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for your support!❤️
Best video I've seen in ages. Really great info thanks guys.
Thank you!
I am a big fan of the lean, high protein keto. I did the psmf a few years ago and have great success. I track my weight each weight and I lost every week except the week we went to Hawaii. I am closer to maintenance mode now. I guess my fat are around 100g and my protein is around 120g but not sure if that good or not. I am 64 now but feel 35
Another brilliant and insightful video! All of these influencers many of whom are medical doctors that eating fat won’t make you fat is really misleading. People will give more weight to their authority like I did. But my personal experience proves the opposite which is to your point. Many misunderstand PSMF and dismiss it quickly, but it has been the only tool that broke through my fat loss stall.
I don't understand the PSMF nor what you do the other 4 days of the week if you can only do it 3 days per week. Any tips?
@@Karen_Busch You have specific macros and calories for fat loss meant to be achieved the other days you don't do PSMF. PSMF days are at a lower calorie target than the specific fat loss macros/calories, which are meant to fill in the rest of the week.
We explain that all here: ruclips.net/video/4nDqJo0IrGU/видео.html
Thanks guys! You both always share so much good 'nitty-gritty' :)
@Maria Emmerich and Craig, thanks so much for explaining this in more detail. Helps me to understand what everything means and what I need to do. Craig's graphs are awesome 💯👍
Glad it was helpful!
Love this & the explanations you provided. Thank you both😊
I have watched every video y’all have to help me understand! I don’t want this as a diet but a lifestyle. I had mentioned the recipes, I’m trying to figure out my first day of keto, what to eat and how much? I’ve cleaned my house out of everything bad, even the peas!! Where do I go for the first day. Yes, losing weight, I’m at 230, and wanting to be better at this! Where do I go for beginners and first day?

Hi Maria & Craig - I always get excited when I see another new video posted from you! I’m wondering where you two stand regarding intermittent fasting or even 3-4 day fasts? Do y’all have any videos that talk about fasting and/or one meal a day? How about in conjunction with protein sparing modified fasting?
IF is a method of fasting that limits your eating window to reduce snacking/mindless eating/etc. We do not recommend fasts over 24 hours due to the risk of losing lean mass. Unless there is a medical condition like cancer/etc we never recommend extended fasting. mariamindbodyhealth.com/5-types-of-fasting-which-one-is-best-for-you/ mariamindbodyhealth.com/extended-fasting-causes-muscle-loss/

I’m 5’2” and weigh 233lbs. It’s 1-1-24 and I’m starting PSMF today focusing on M-W-F. Thank you!
You've got this!
I observed this too. The obesity is off the charts in regional areas. I felt sick by what I saw because I know these people will have a life filled with illness. I saw children who were very fat too.
MCT is during the first few weeks to help create ketone body during the transition. When adapted it is not needed.
You don’t need to add tons of fat for ketones. Just keep carbs under 20g per day :)
😊 another very informative and interesting video topic 👏!!!!!!!
Make a chart with how much of one food to eat to meet the different total daily protein. ie eat 5 eggs to get 30g of protein.

Now this makes sense...as a type 1 diabetic i couldn't wrap my mind around eating high fat....because i take insulin therefore...storage mode...plus my bloodsugar is higher when i eat butter, Any dairy for me and my bloodsugar is high even in very small amounts.
Thanks for watching!
I'm a Keto follower who has been kicking around the same 4 or 5 pounds since November. I lost 25 pounds and lowered my Triglycerides, ALT, AST, A1C and got off blood pressure meds. I can't deny I feel better... HOWEVER, I am still about 45 pounds overweight. 😢 The scale finally started to move slightly when I started adding butter to my coffee (just about 1 TBS once daily), so now I'm more confused than ever. I've been obese since puberty with just a few times of being semi-successful and going into the overweight category. I'm doing this mostly for HEALTH as a recovering type 2 diabetic, but I would sure like to look better too.

I like how you measure protein in grams ... as opposed to locals. 5alking about calories of protein gives the wrong impression that we want protein to burn in our mitochondria.
I eat one meal a day usually a meat or salad with meat has took me a long time I started out cutting out sugar then I cut out most of the carbs have lost 120 so far.but it's been a journey.
Way to go!
So I’ve been Carnivore 62 days and finally have been able to sleep after 10 yrs having to use meds thanks to Carnivore.
I’m staying the same weight so I tried Maria’s macro calculator and it had me at 1104 calories per day not on PSMF days. I didn’t sleep at all last night and the only change I made was following the macros. Finally, at 3:30 am I got up and did the TBsp of butter (Elizabeth Bright) & finally went to sleep. So as far as my system goes some butter & more calories is critical for my health. 🤷🏼♀️
What macros are you following? Were you sure to read the notes at the top of the calculator before you entered your information? Adding butter is not going to help you lose weight 🙏
@@MariaEmmerich I put my measurements into your macro calculator and it said if you want fastest fat loss use the default sedentary that was already set. I used the butter (for sleep) at 3:30 am after I hadn’t slept all night after going that low in calories. At this point I value my sleep more than weight loss after not sleeping for 10 yrs without meds. I was sleeping fine on Carnivore & only one day of going that low in cal/fat/protein I didn’t sleep & that was the only thing I changed. Have you had anyone else like that? 🦋
If you are popping awake at 3am every morning, that is a chronic low progesterone issue. Getting your macros right and balancing your hormones naturally with a clean ketogenic (or carnivore) diet and some natural supplements will help. keto-adapted.com/product/sleep-supplement-plan-women-only/
Great presentation, and the graphs are fantastic. I don't buy the sticks of butter either. Metabolism is not the same as you get older either and different for everyone.
😮 hmmmm, thanks for the insight into the blood glucose issues I have been having.
I consume a lot of MCT oil and G butter, not only to kill my hunger, but to keep me, Lynn With low protein and works perfect I’m very muscular but not fat at all
Everyone is different. I eat tons of fat because I am not trying to lose weight and I am very athletic. But when weight loss is a goal, lowering your dietary fat intake is going to yield better fat loss results.
so I feel like we (the people) are being misled every way we turn. One guy says too much protein makes you gain, one says he only eats steak and water and salt, one says you HAVE to eat veg, others say you don't need veg at all. It's really tough to know who to believe anymore. It's just making ppl sicker.
There is a lot of misinformation out there, so we feel it's important to stick to the facts and what science clearly shows :)
@@MariaEmmerich i believe u but they all say that too
Only five minutes in and I shared this with my morbidly obese son-in-law. I hope he pays attention.
show your son-in-law these two you tube channels "It's Tomorrow somewhere" (he has last 50+ pounds in the last 100 days on Keto/OMAD) and "Carnviore dietDante freedom" (cant remember his chan name but this will get you to his chan) he has lost 90+ pounds on carnviore in the past 2 years and his transformation is unbelievable. These two will motivate your son-in- law by seeing men losing weight and how they did it. Take care.

High fat low carb does not work for everyone. I lost almost zero weight after 12 weeks. However, after switching to low carb low fat, the weight loss was very quick.
I don't ever remember being suggested to do a stick of butter today, I do a teaspoon of fat once or twice a day, and then get the fat that's occurring in the protein that I'm eating, I never got the overdue fat from any of the people I've been watching and I haven't been where I've seen 85% fat I have seen 75% and I guess that's just because of the content naturally occurring plus the teaspoon of fat. It's working for me wonderfully I've lost 23 lb and 30 days, my also's tone definition is increasing, as my weight has been dropping I plateaued for a few days each week so I assumed that's when I was regaining muscle as I lost. And for the first time when I've lost weight my skin is actually going back with my weight loss, I mean I'm definitely not where I need to be, so therefore not this super tone creature but I don't have stuff literally hanging like I did on the diets that recommended higher carbs. I don't know, I'm just trying to learn first time that I got into trying to get healthy first versus losing the weight, and just went into this looking at it that if I focused on just getting healthy and eating nutritionally and getting rid of any and all garbage, I was just going to have the side effect of losing weight. And that's pretty much house but going. I'm watching a huge variety of people and I'm really trying to see when the information about What mechanisms is what foods and why. What nutrients make those mechanisms perform their duties What mechanisms are part of fat loss, what can accelerate them, without causing denture meant to something else. Cleaning up and protecting my gut biome. Mostly getting rid of inflammation which is the root cause of all the health problems. I'm grateful for all those that are out there educating on real nutrition and the actions they take in our bodies along with the health processes that we have control over such as autophagy. This has been a journey for me reconnecting with my body. Listening to it. our bodies are wondrous miraculous machines ! Fully encoded to be able to perform any thing we need to bring us to Good health. It's just to up to us as individuals, to learn, and take responsibility for a job that no one else can do for us. As long as we can be able to watch shows like this, we can gain the knowledge implement positive relationships with food. Food mentality should definitely not be a crowd mentality. Our mainstream thinking on food is disastrous. Millions of us must know deep in our core something wasn't right as is evidenced by how many followers you and your contemporaries now have. Thanks for your dedication.and I love your recipes
I would like your assistance in losing weight. I have lost 100 pounds but I have plateaued for over a year. I believe I am metabolism adapted. I don’t want to cut calories any more than I have!

My hair thinned out within 3 months of doing Keto in 2019. Changed to Carnivore in 2020 and have remained Carnivore since. I started increasing fats such as butter and coconut oil last summer and noticed a bit of hair growth but I've gained some weight. I'm scared to go back to what you're suggesting (lower fat) as I'm wondering if that's why my hair thinned out.
Hair thinning typically happens due to not eating enough protein. Hair is made from protein. :)
@@MariaEmmerich thanks Maria ❤️ Still odd that my hair hasn't grown back after being Carnivore for 3 years.
Yes, typically it will after a couple months. Could be a deficiency. Like a zinc or low progesterone/estrogen. I health assessment would help me get to the bottom of it. :)

I'm very frustrated.. I want to lose 20 pounds of FAT.. I've tried carnivore.. after 3 weeks if have lost a thing!!! I'm not hungry.. I like the taste, and I could keep doing carnivore if I could see weight loss? I'm not overeating.. I'm not eating a stick of butter but I do find adding butter helps me not be hungry.. I'm ready to go back to salads and veggies.
Be sure you are getting your weight loss macros right: mariamindbodyhealth.com/new-keto-calculator/
You both converted me to high protein from high fat carnivore
Thank you so much for a no nonsense way to fat loss without the fat insanity!
Hello Maria, can I incorporate psmf days into my diet while I breastfeed? At this point, I have been carnivore 2 months now and have lost just over 20 pounds; and my supply has been stable as long as I eat enough, drink water and include fat. Do you think psmf days/selected meals can work for me too, or is it not advisable? Have about 80 more pounds to go.
I do not recommend PSMF while breast feeding if you don't want to jeopardize your supply 🙏
My area is in the RED!
Yesterday, I shared your recipe for Egg Pudding with a dear friend of mind who has MS and her husband has diabetes and both are quite heavy. They are going through tough times financially but they raise their own chickens so they have plenty of eggs. She says she would gain too much weight. :-(
:(
Hello,I’ve bought several books thank you both. I’ve listen too you for several years on and off Thant’s on me😢. Anyway QUESTION, if I’m eating my protein your saying I don’t need to eat extra fat if I’m understanding you correctly? Because I already have it to loose is that what your saying ,or am I still missing your point.
I’ll just say what I hear you say if you eat a steak your getting your nutrients from that and your loosening the fat your needing to loose,but if you were active such as Maria that would be a whole different store. AM i hearing you ✅ correct,I need to get this right once in for all. Please and thank you 🙏.
Have a wonderful day.love the whales.😊
Correct. You do need dietary fat for healthy hormones and proper nutrient absorption. But we are talking about adding excessive dietary fat when your body has fat to lose. Get your proper macros here: mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/
Thank you so much for this video it makes so much sense!
So, I have a question: if I'm not going to add any EXTRA fat to my diet is it okay to go ahead and eat the skin with the chicken or do I need to eat just the meat? I know there was a mention of eating fat with steak so I just wondered if that applied across the board with things like chicken skin.
Thanks for all your help and all your wonderful information and videos! I love those charts to! Those are incredibly helpful!
Whether you eat the skin depends on your personal goals. But in general for weight loss I would remove it.
@@MariaEmmerich
Ok, great, thank you for responding ☺️
I wanna know how you get that luscious hair?
Prioritize protein. And don't shampoo every day, just rinse some days. Shampooing and blow drying every day dries it out. :)
On that chart, what is the fat percentage in the "prioritizing protein" approach?
We don't really go by percentages because it's not a very quantifiable approach. We recommend following your macros :)
You two are great and look so healthy. Do you have any pics on meals you ear so we can see examples. I need to lose 150 libs. Thanks
Thanks! My RUclips channel is filled with recipe videos. Or, check out my blog for recipes KetoMaria.com :)
Help! I just purchased your ebook for $29.95 and touched something on my iPad and it disappeared! Where do I find it?
I actually found it and saved to my files. Thanks
Great!
I have seen some say a stick of butter for the purpose of healing autoimmune or inflammatory disease and to drive female horomone production, to drive down cortisol. Is this different than losing weight?
You can heal hormones and reduce inflammation without dairy. In fact I encourage it. Dairy is very inflammatory.
Insightful
Please comment on CLA content in grass fed beef / butter and CLA supplements for use in a Keto diet.
Grass fed grass finished beef is typically less fatty due to the nature of their diet, but I don't know the exact comparison. You do not need to supplement CLA on a well formulated ketogenic or carnivore diet :)
Love the charts❤
Thank you!
If a person is overweight, is it okay to eat low fat - high protein until weight is normalised, then introduce more fat? I was thinking for example, fillet steak and lamb cutlets. The lamb contains a fair bit of fat, so is it fine not to add any more fat (if you're overweight)?
If weight loss is a goal fat should absolutely be used for leverage! Prioritize lean animal protein always, and implement some PSMF days to accelerate results.
Some people say that to much protein will make you insulin high. Is that true? Or is it the fat that makes it high. If I don't eat fat I get constipated. I have noticed to much butter I get belly fat. What do I do? I'm sorry for all the questions. I am confused one carnivore says eat more fat and another says eat more protein.
Protein is not chocolate cake ;) That is a myth.
For constipation, you need salt not fat. Very little fat is passed in the stool. Increase your sodium 🙏
@@MariaEmmerich thank you for your reply. Yes ma'am I'm seeing that eating to much protein and fat is not good. I have tried to up my salt intake . if I eat a lot of salt I retain water. Iwill gain three pounds of water. How much salt do you recommend for a 5'2 110 lbs. Female? Thank you
We have an article here: mariamindbodyhealth.com/how-to-balance-electrolytes/
I am sure I am not the only one confused by the battle of information.. keto vs carnivore... OMG
Ive been tracking my macros based on your calculator ans have been folowing it closely. Ive lost 14 lbs. I do enjoy having 1/2 to 3/4 Tbsp of mct oil in my coffee with the same amt of cream but track it as part of those macros and am consistently losing weight. Is it ok as long as im carefully following the c, f, p macros daily gram allowances and fitting that small amount in as part of my daily fat?
Way to go! For best results I do not recommend BPC or coffee at all for that matter. And adding fat just to add it (like MCT in coffee) is counterproductive for consistent results. Eventually it could cause you to stall 🙏
Thank you so much!!
What about compromised kidneys? Would you still reccommened the higher protein emphasis?
There is zero truth to the myth that protein effects the kidneys. More on that here:

Can you tell us why someone can get their triglycerides down and hdl up and still see high ldl and total cholesterol values. I ask this based on someone who eats low carb, moderate fats (mct and avocado more so) and a good amount of protein.
Ideal trig/HDL ratio is 2.0 to 1.0 or less. With LDL, what matters is particle size and presence of inflammation. To know your true risk for CVD, get a CAC score.
Never heard of a CAC score that’s a new one on me my trig/hdl ratio is at 1.59 but my ldl is high. Thank you for the input.
I have trouble eating enough protein. Is there a high protein low fat low carb shake you recommend for people who are obese and need to up their protein? I don’t exercise much and I want to start but since starting low carb my energy levels have decreased a lot.
For low energy you need electrolytes. Tracking and replenishing them is not optional on a low carb diet: mariamindbodyhealth.com/how-to-balance-electrolytes/
It is not difficult to reach your daily protein goal when you prioritize the correct lean animal protein sources. And you should always chew your food instead of relying on shakes; it registers leptin better to help with satiety. Watch this: ruclips.net/video/v0WimlRHbME/видео.htmlsi=UZk5LSy0-8dj2jt9
Hi,i would like to start keto or carnivore diet, but i got a stone in my goldbladder. Is that safe ,can i do it?
Absolutely. We have helped many clients with this issue: mariamindbodyhealth.com/ketogenic-diets-for-gallbladder-health/
Wondering what's best for a fat fast...grass fed cheddar cheese or grass fed butter??
The best thing yo can do is don't to a fat fast. More on that here:

It seems the keto/carnivore community can’t decide on what’s best. 15 years ago it was high fat then went high protein and now it’s swung back toward higher fats again. 😢 I just don’t know and being an obese single mum I just don’t have the money needed to pay for these programs to see if that works. Can’t be that hard can it?

I’m 5’3” 73 years old. I’m trying to get my protein up but not even close while eating 1103 calories suggested by the app. What proteins do you suggest? Thank you
Prioritize lean animal protein sources like chicken breast, fish, lean beef, pork loin, seafood, egg whites, things like that :)
@@MariaEmmerich Thank you; you are so kind to respond. I’ll try that.
How can I get my sugar down and how can I SLEEP??? I have been carnivore for several years!

Im nearly 4 years "high fat" carnivore. Its really great for me because ive atopped having seizures that ive been suffering for since i was 5. Now im 44. And hypothyroid - had the operation. I lost 70lb in my first year but 30lb has crept back on and i sont know what the issue is? Blood tests have come back great, thyroid tests have come back great. So why have i put on 30lb and stalled at around 180 + lb.. i just sont know.. and i eat omad - because if i eat 3 eggs and 2 burgers with a bit of cheese melted ontop, it fills me up for the day. Its the same if i eat eggs and oxtail, eggs and steak.. so satiating. I dont want to eat again.. im so feustrated.. can anybody help?
I think you need to reduce the fat and increase the protein. We also don't recommend OMAD as you don't get enough protein in one meal to maintain your muscle. We have seen several seizure clients, after being keto for a while and getting seizure under control, who can lower the dietary fat and increase protein and still have good seizure control. Our friend has done this very well. You can follow her on Twitter here:

I'm trying to lose weight.
Cooking in fat is ok??
Yes, just don't use more than needed.
@@craigemmerich Thank you
Can you regain muscle mass at 62 female
Yes, but it gets more difficult as we age, which is why it is so important to maintain the lean mass that you have now 🎉
