Like Pim Jansson says - people are either moderators or abstainers. If you find yourself unable to moderate your behaviour, then you really have no choice but to abstain.
Absolutely I tell people all the time not everybody can moderate what they're eating. I have an addictive personality I'm a recovering alcoholic/attic and I know that one beer is not enough for me I'll take the cake you have the one there is no moderation in my life no matter what I do for me it's all or nothing.
This is very relatable to me and many, many others! You are doing the exact right things for yourself, as well as your child. And just remember, you may be in a stall right now, but you have not gone backwards! That is a HUGE WIN! You’ve got this, and our community is always here to help 😊
Thank you for your encouragement it’s really appreciated. And your perspective that I haven’t gone backwards- I hadn’t really thought about it that way! That is very encouraging. Thank you ❤️ and this community is absolutely AMAZING.
Not having the stuff in my house has saved me many times. Not that I’ve been perfect, as I definitely haven’t! I’m more Keto than Carnivore, but I am also the type of person who hates going back out once I’m home… so if I have to make a trip out to get something carby, most of the time, I’ll find a healthier option. You have come up with some good ideas to keep you on track, and getting better options for your child’s future is definitely going to be better for all of you, You can do this! 😊
What a great way to a new beginning. It will be hard, but before you know it, your cravings will be gone. I, too, struggle every single day. Thank you for your honesty and courage to share this very difficult struggle. I feel like I can do this knowing I'm not alone in my struggle.
You are definitely NOT alone. I’m right there with you going through the struggle. And if a person like me- who’s been so inconsistent the last month can get back on track- you can too. We got this! Let’s start over 💪👍
I'm currently going through the same thing now. Buy I've cheated more than 3 times and gained 24lbs of fat, water and inflammation back. I feel like I can't get away from the sugar! I'm definitely an addict! I'm getting back on track this week! We can do this!!
Yeah for getting back on track!!! I hope you’re able to put some new things in place/reminders/safeguards to help keep you accountable. As a fellow sugar addict breaking it is SO HARD. But we CAN do this!
I love your honesty! I am the same... just a food addict that keeps on falling off the Carnivore way of living... But for me it's four and a half years, not just the last month... I keep to 95%... but, it's that last 5% of trigger foods that keeps tripping me up and I have lost no weight in all this time... My downfall is having a tablespoon of pure Maple syrup at the end of the day... Yep, that does it... next morning... up two pounds...
Yes dealing with food addiction is very difficult and I don’t think many people understand how much it’s truly an addiction. It’s hard when you’re caught in habits that aren’t serving you or your health. I hope you can take some time to figure out what steps you can take to end the maple syrup at the end of the day. Maybe sugar free whipped topping? Still not a great choice, but maybe slowly breaking that habit down into achievable steps. For me I’d just have to completely toss the maple syrup out of my house- but that may not be possible for you. Anyways- I hope you can find a path forward even if it’s been four and a half years. Tomorrow is always a new day. We CAN do this. ❤️
I have been where you are now several times in the last few years. I am currently back on Carnivore for the last 3 weeks. Trying to get my husband on board. His chips and snack cakes call to me in the middle of the night or if he is not home, lol. A tip for chicken nuggets for your toddler. I cut up a chicken breast and a thigh. Dip in melted butter and then Porq's Panko Crumbs. Fry them in whatever fat you use. They are great!
I so relate to your words “his chips and snack cakes call to me” -- yes! It’s so hard! I’m blessed that Patrick is on this journey with me and that I have the power to change my sons food. For some people who are on a health journey while their partner is not- that’s gotta be a hard battle. LOVE the chicken nugget idea. Will have to try them for sure. My little guy loves eating anything he gets to dip (like those chicken nuggies with sugar free ketchup would be perfect).
Things I keep for kids in the house is, plain unsweetened yogurt , I put a few drops of monkfruit for them, cheese crisps(ingredient just cheese) and cheese strings. They like chicken and fish the most so I try out different recipes for them. They love air fried chicken wings and they also love “nuggets” I blend pork rinds into a flour add beef flour,salt and spices dip the chicken in egg and cover them in the flour blend and we all love those and air fry, so good!
Cait, don't be too hard on yourself. I keep nothing at home that I can't eat on Carnivore, but I do eat a small chocolate once a week and I physically go to buy and eat it on that day. I lost 24kg's to reach my goal weight for the first time in my adult life and I'm maintaining my weight. You can do it!
It's impossible to "cheat on a diet". We can only cheat ourselves. Of course, we have to pick ourselves up and carry on, but we should never tell ourselves that cheating is ok. Cheating should be painful, because if it isn't we'll do it again, and again, and again. Good for you for realizing that the problem is with you, this means that the solution is also with you. And knowing that is very powerful.
Exactly right it’s up to you about your child’s food choices for the future, such a smart Mama 😉 Neisha Berry recently had a post about what her BB’s eat and it was fantastic.
Totally relatable, Cait. I struggle with this exact thing every single day and it’s why my weight loss is so slow. I love your ideas about reminding yourself of your whys in key places. We can do this.
Totally agree and feel your pain. My four year old leave food all the time!! I hate wasting food and the temptation to finish whatever they haven’t eaten is so high! I’m documenting my journey on carnivore also - I’ve failed so badly this month so I have been embarrassed to admit that on my channel. Thanks for sharing - just subbed!!
I realted to evrything you said on multiple levels. 1st being a step mom to a 5 year old years ago, i was always cleaning up after meals so food didn't go to waste. 2nd, i started keto on 2014 and did really well for almost two years but on vacation i started allowing myself a non low carb sonething and another and at the end of the vacation i was completely off track. I spent another couple years on and off keto until i gave up. I so regret not taking my health more seriously. As of this year, i turned 50 with BP edging up and my A1C at 6, i decided to give carnivore a try. It has been the best decision! My A1C is back in normal range, BP is coming down and 25 pounds off. I allow myself ketovore days and feel this is the way for me. I had one cheat meal and felt so awful that i know it is not worth it. It is hard but i have to do this for my health. Thank you for being vulnerable to show people we are all human, and trying to do our best. We can do this. We can be healthy. ❤
Thanks for sharing a little about your journey as well. Congrats on the 25lbs lost and the blood pressure and blood sugar getting back on track. That is amazing. Your story is inspiring ❤️
Yep- just the process of reflecting and posting my struggles for accountability is very helpful. Plus, I hope that other people who struggle will realize they’re not alone and we CAN get back even when we fail.
BRAVO! I appreciate you sharing your struggles with this diet, as I and probably many others also have them. I wish more would share about how they deal with their struggles. Thank you.
You’re welcome- the less people feel alone in their struggle on their journey I think the more likely they are to keep pushing forward and not give up. We’ve all experienced low points and the key is figuring out how to move past them. You got this!
Total respect for your honesty and setting your son up for a healthy life and relationship with food. It's tough at times. Right now I am having some meat aversion. I'm staying carnivore, but its not easy at times. I am thinking of doing a 48-72 hour fast and see if that helps.
Exactly the reason I stopped making keto fat bombs after a year on keto. I just found they kept my sweet tooth alive as long as I was consuming them. I couldn't moderate, so I just stopped making them. After going carnivore in Oct 2021, I no longer crave those foods. Cookies can sit on the counter for DAYS, and I never have the urge to have one. Given what I've since learned about oxalates and other phytotoxins, I'm glad I stopped. Most of the keto bomb recipes involve things like almond flour that are just LOADED with oxalates!
You’ve learned so much about yourself and that’s truly amazing. And I’m the same way about keeping my sweet tooth alive but for me it’s coffee creamer (even if it’s sugar free). Like you said- I just need to abstain and get rid of this sweet tooth. Thanks for the advice and encouragement.
I was doing great feeling better every day until 2 days ago I woke up covered with crumbs the small package of my grandsons cookies laying on my shoes by my bed. I was shocked,disgusted, revolted, angry with myself. I have restarted but still shaming myself. I told my ex husband what happened and he started yelling at me. I can shame myself thank you. But guilt and shame get me nowhere, is negative and useless. Good for you doing a clean out. Great job. Great video helped me look within
We've all been there. Just jump back on that train and move forward. Regarding littles -Dr. Ken Berry and Nurse Neisha and Kelly Hogan take slightly different approaches to feeding their kids but both are working for them and protecting the children while setting them up for future success. All the best to you and yours.
The struggle is REAL. Tomorrow is a new day, and we can make new choices. For me, all that food is going to be donated tomorrow. I hope you can find a path forward as well. WE GOT THIS 💪
Hey Caitlyn, thank you so much for sharing your struggles with the rest of us! I too had a bad week, and it was all on me and not the carnivore way of eating. The fact that you can recognize and admit your temporary failure and get right back on that horse!
You’re welcome- I just want people to know they’re not alone when they struggle because that’s a very hard place to be. I’m sorry you had a hard week as well. We CAN get back on track. In fact I’m posting a video tomorrow about 3 changes I’m making this time around to help me stay consistent that I hope can inspire us all to get back on track. Ps- what state is interstate195 in? (From your profile pic).
Great message! For the first time, I am understanding the relationship between a bite of this and a taste of that as the avenue that leads back to the addiction! Thank you for that revelation. BTW, I'm so happy for your little boy that he's not going to be growing up with unhealthy eating habits. I know you mentioned the weight aspect of eating the wrong diet, but my biggest concern (as an older person) is those health issues that have a way of gradually piling up on you and taking their toll. If he and your subsequent kids are able to avoid that, they'll be WAAAAAAAY ahead of the game!
Thank you for posting this. Thank you for being honest, real and venerable. You don't KNOW how much I needed this video. I've been beating myself up for getting derailed when I got COVID, and not gettingback on track. I REALLY needed to see someone else being real about this! You're awesome! Tomorrow I'm off and I'm purging our house of all temptations!
I saw you on Intentional Carnivore's live. New sub here. Girl, this is the exact same spot I am in. I cheated a couple of time but then it is a downward slope from there and trying to figure out why I cannot beat this carb/sugar thing once and for all. However, we are going to do this together friend! I am happy to be your accountability partner!!
Hello and welcome! We’re so glad to have you here. I’m sorry to hear you’re in a hard spot as well but it’s so real and like you said, a downward slope. And yes! I need accountability and we are here for you too. I’m actually posting a video tomorrow about my first day restarting and 3 changes I’m making to have better success. I hope you can restart with me! We CAN do this. ❤️💪
Thank you for sharing your journey. I totally understand having food available that isn't on your plan. I have 2 teens, 17 and 14. They are definitely NOT keto (what I do) so there are things that I don't eat in our house. For me, I just have to be an abstainer. I can't start at all on non keto foods. If I can do that, then the "other" foods are there and they don't tempt me. Sounds like you made a good choice for your family and that is awesome!
I’m sorry it’s been rough for you as well. It’s time for us to both get back on and improve our health and lives. We can do this! You got this girl ❤️🎉
You’re not alone. It’s hard. It’s never worth it. Gotta try to shut that inner voice up immediately as soon as it starts innocently suggesting succumbing
I’m new to your channel and glad to have found you! I had a week of 3 slips but back on track this week! Thank you for being an inspirational family! 😊
It's really relatable. Every time i see some kind of carbs that i used to love there's urge to eat it for "old sake". Actually it's not back to square one if you cheat some because that's in itself is already improvement compare before starting the diet, we just need to try have less cheat day compare to last week and at the very end there's no cheat at all, not per month but per week works for me mentally P.s. : i start this diet because i think i will die young (not 40 yet now) because of hypertension, now I'm medicine free
I’m so glad you’re able to be medicine free and start taking control of your hypertension. That’s really amazing. And I love your perspective that a cheat is not back to square one but it’s just part of the process of learning and getting better and more consistent each day.
Oh sweetie, I am sitting here watching you in complete break down tears. I can totally relate. I know I am a food addict. I know I can't have a cheat meal let alone a day. I know I have to stay carnivore since it has been the only way of eating that works and I am at my best. Then why do I keep sabotaging myself? Why do I constantly give in? I know my questions are for me. Thanks for sharing your journey. I don't have the courage for all the unkind trolls out there. Taking this leap and admitting to myself how I need to change my whole way of life is hard enough. Thanks for you being you!!
I’m so sorry you’re struggling through this too. It is so, so hard. I’ve asked myself the same questions you are asking: why do I sabotage myself? Why do I give in? This is HARD. I’m so glad you’re admitting to yourself these things because that’s a really, really hard step. I’m posting a video tomorrow at 2 PM about the changes I’m making as I restart the carnivore diet + the food I’ll be eating. I’d love to have you join me and restart this journey! You CAN do this - and like you said this way if eating works and keeps us feeling good. Wish I could give you a hug and tell you it’ll be okay. ❤️
@@carnivorecouple thanks sweetie for your kind words. I am an empath. So I already felt your amazing hug. I loved how you talked about your son. Now is the perfect time to make really wonderful changes for him too. I taught my now adult sons horrible eating habits. My grandkids are a different story. I have them individually during the summer and they all love steak and burgers. Even my 16 year old grandson loves them without the bun. Big bonus for me. I will join you tomorrow as well as get back on track for myself. I am going to write out in detail my Why tonight. I am also going to post photos up and do the index cards as well. Sending you hugs and much love. ☺️
@@moviegirl1965 That’s amazing that you’re helping your grandchildren get back on track. So proud of you for writing your why’s and posting them! That’s what I did today as well and it’s already helped me be more focused on my goals. See you tomorrow. Sleep well. 👍
Sorry About the past month. IMO your child should be eating carnivore also. The gold fish etc is GARBAGE FOOD that no one should be eating. Above all your child needs the carnivore diet. It is The Proper Human Diet and all that other stuff will harm both your child and you and none of us need the garbage. Praying that you throw out all the garbage and get on the straight and narrow. Praying for you! God will help you!! Love You Guys!!
Yep all of that food we had for him is on my counter and going to be donated tomorrow morning. I’m getting it out of my house so it’s not there for me or my family. Thanks for watching. And thank you for your prayers.
It's not your fault. The American diet was established a long time ago. I grew up with five brothers and sisters. We were poor. If it wasn't for PB&J's and bologna sandwiches with Kraft American cheese we would have starved. You can break the cycle.
1/2 stick butter with 8 jimmy dean turkey sausage in AM. 1/2 stick for lunch with 8oz ground turkey w/ketchup. Supper 3 beef burger patties 85%ish lean no butter, sometimes we'll have pork, steak, or chicken, 8oz. for supper.
I feel you! Today I fell off the "ketovore wagon". I'm mostly carnivore, but i eat green olives at times and sometimes a slice of Claussen pickle or just the juice. Those things help with cravings. I also eat an avocado a few times a week, but that's the extent of it. Hence, I call my diet Ketovore. I did keto for years, lost 76 pounds and as of the dreaded 2020, I gained 30 back. (Yes, I blame 2020, no work, no money, and the isolation) If you don't mind suggestions, maybe you could make crackers out of cheese for your son. They don't take long. Even so, I'm not sure if he is old enough to eat those because they can be crispy. (I don't want to suggest a choking hazard.) You could make keto "bread" or muffins or even protein sparing bread for him and put natural sugar free peanut butter on them. And maybe some butter. I can't recommend allulose or any artificial sweetener, because I know nothing about giving that stuff to kids. But i bet you could smash up banana and put it into some plain yogurt or cottage cheese if he will eat that. Or berries? Neisha Berry has toddlers. Not sure if you watch her channel but you may find suggestions from her since she shows what she feeds them on her channel. You already know this stuff, I'm sure. I want things to work through for you and your family. I feel you, truly. I subscribed to your channel today. I know you're going to win! It can be hard to resist when there are others in the household who aren't following a like diet. By the way, I loved the picture you posted. You look so lovely in the dress! Best wishes sent.
Thank you so much for the practical meal ideas and for subscribing to our channel. We’re happy to have you along this journey. I’ve see a little from Neisha but definitely need to go watch again for some more kid ideas now that we’re changing his way of eating as well. I totally get the Ketovore life- I was there as well and like you needed the pickles/olives to help with cravings. Thanks for watching! 💪
I think answering the question “should I give this stuff to my son” goes back to figuring out what habits you want to help them develop for their future. For me, the answer is no. And I’m getting rid of all the processed snacks/sugars/juice etc
Oh my goodness I live with my baby grand daughter and end up eating what she doesn’t, like her yummy teething biscuits! And I agree with you, that she shouldn’t be eating carbs either, but my daughter thinks it’s ok for her. It’s really hard!
It's difficult getting started! I'm a teacher and have no mental or physical steam, and irritable while trying to start carnivore. Had to stop and add carbs. I will try when school is out.😢
I was on a diet that actually worked it was somewhat restrictive but it worked and the thing about diets is if you don't have the mindset no diet no lifestyle change will ever work unless your mindset is into it. When people ask me why I gained the weight back from that diet that I was on I tell them that know the diet didn't fail me but I failed the diet I went off the rails with my mindset my stinking thinking gotten away and I went back to eating normal garbage food. And as many times as I tried to go back to that diet that worked I could never ever ever do it again😢 which is why I decided to go carnivore cuz I like my meat and I like my fat😊
I’m sorry to hear you are struggling too. This journey is HARD. But we CAN do it! I restarted today. I’ll be posting a video tomorrow about 3 changes I’m making to restart and end these bad habits. I hope you can restart with me! We’re all in this together. If I could give you a hug I would. You got this!
Same here dear. I just HAD to have icecream last night. And I’m disgusted with myself! We need to forgive ourselves and get back. And goldfish started the trigger. And I can easily eat 5 pp@j sandwiches! 🤦♀️
We got this we fall of the wagon but we have get back on and keep pushing .I try bring some stuff of doing carnivore for a few months one carbs make me sick 🤢 I can’t do that no more and the only vegetables I handle is onions and garlic the green one like broccoli, spinach, and asparagus they gave me gas in the past and make me feel bloated I never 👎🏾 brought them back I keep away lol . Let keep pushing I love steak 🥩 .never doing back to the sad diet 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿.
In the four months I have been on carnivore I guess I had a few cheat days; like on my birthday I had a little a slice of cake; I have at times added a veggie or a piece of fruit; I have not eaten any process foods; I have lost 23 lbs in these four month ; in the month of August I have lost a total of 3 lbs. which is not much; however the only way I can stay on this way of eating is to considering this a life style; I don't see myself as having an addiction to sugar or certain foods; I can not myself as being restrictive; eventually once I loose the weight I want I will be adding more veggies and more fruits; however this will be the exception; I am happy with losing only 3/5 lbs a month and letting my body adjust to the weight loss.
I also did the carnivore diet for the last 2 months and I failed miserably.. I usually don't crave bread or rice but after a week all I was thinking about is eating a loaf of bread.. I kept restarting the diet but after a week or even a few days I end up going insane and losing sense of reality and binge eating junk food like crazy. What I learned is that jumping head first into the carnivore diet is not a good idea. Im going to add fruits, veggies, and grains back into my diet and slowly lessen them and increase my meat portions every week until my body not so dependent on sugar and carbs.. cutting sugar and carbs right away is just like cold turkeying a medicine and I don't recommend it.
I’m sorry you struggled so much but I hope you keep going! Cold turkey starting is not for all people. I hope you find a way of eating that benefits your health for you. Have a great day!
You not weak. That food is just highly addictive. They make it that way so u can buy more. Just say to yourself that you will not be manipulated anymore.
IMO, you have failed nothing. This is the process. Failing only happens if you give up. We are all human. We have setbacks. Assess, adapt, overcome. The addiction is the thing that wants to draw you into a depressive emotional whirlpool. Just say, "No Thanks". You are doing the right things. Focus on your why. Understand the issues that are challenging you. Make and execute a plan to overcome. Part of the baggage we need to let go of is not just the weight. The mental dysfunction associated with our addiction is the demon we have to let go of. You are in control. You are working in your best interests. You can make any choice you want to today. Make the choice to get the life you want. Lean on your community. We are all rooting for you. My two cents.
1000000 %!!! These are the things we have to remember. I love how you put it that we don’t just have to lose the weight but we have to lose the emotional baggage of food addiction. You’re so right.
Amazing questions your lifestyle to you and your child . I have the same issue with my kids eating all crap but because my wife is completely sugar addicted and carb addiction. She has always been slim even with all this crap food so it’s even worse for me to convince her to turn more to Healy carnivore food . I have gone from 101 kg to 87.8 kg in 1.5 month earring healthy !!! You want to look at our anniversary cake 🎂 now ! ?😮😅 For yourself if you see the new lifestyle as a longer distance achievement your height goals I think it more important to handle your emotions to food and when you overcome it no one will ever convince you to eat anything else than healthy food ! That’s when the change that will be long lasting !
Wow! Congrats on your weight loss success that’s Amazing! And yes- this journey is a long distance race and as I tackle each of these hurdles and disassemble them I’m learning so much about myself that will help me be able to stay healthy for life. You’ve got to go through the process to really make a change. Thanks for watching.
Duuuddeee I thought I was the only one. That habit is just to show how this really is a real addiction. I was a pill addict for a long time and I noticed the same habits and justifications when doing keto and now starting carnivore. Last night the craving was so bad I literally took one bite of TWO DIFFERENT kids yogurts, a bite of peanut butter, and three grapes in secret so my wife wouldn’t see me mess up (even though she could care less. Def not a meat person). It was so shameful just like when my pill addiction was at its peak. Today is just day one again. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water….just start at day one again. Remeber your why and go as long as you can.
I gave my son some peanut butter stuffed pretzel, and as soon as I caught a whiff of the peanut butter, I knew I would cheat. The last time I cheated, it was a peanut butter cup. 😆 I guess that is my trigger. I have 2 boys, and they eat different from me as well. It's really hard. When the snack food isn't in my house, I don't cheat. But I feel terrible that my boys can't have the things that they want
You are a gorgeous woman, go back on carnivore - achieve your weight and health goals and you will be knockout. And yes improve the diet of your child. Keto is probably better for a child. They don't have the sugar issues yet.
It might help to look at families who have small children on the carnivore diet! :) Here's one example: ruclips.net/video/rmKb7PQQnMc/видео.html The temptation simply can't exist. Sugar is more addictive than COCAINE so you're battling something very real! It also might help to keep in mind that switching back and forth, can't be good for the system. :) I fell off HARD after my first 10 days and I DON'T have a sweet tooth BUT, I got fumbled because I used to drink SWEETENED coffee and teas! Although I'm a REAL water drinker, every blue moon, coffee, tea, homemade lime/lemonade would be nice so, I had a coffee! That ONE cup set me back 1 full week! And then I realized I'd have to "knuckle" my way through it! The long term bad health just isn't worth it. :) The fact that you want to break the cycle is a good start to overcoming this. And think about it like this, it took a lifetime to get where you are so it will take time to reverse it. :) Best of luck and continued success! FOOTNOTE: Look at Dr. Anthony Chaffee's video on "plants are trying to kill you". :) EYE OPENING!!!
Thank you so much for linking a video with young families. I’ve never cooked this way before for myself or my child so it’s a learning curve and ideas like these are so helpful. I’m in the same boat as you that the sweeteners derail me. You’ve helped me realize the need to stop having them so I can crush that sugar craving for good. Thanks so much for your great advice and I Love Dr Chaffee! I need to do more research into plants for sure 👍
@@carnivorecouple Hi there! You're welcome! :) RUclips JUST notified me of your comment! Hmm... Dr. Chaffee really is awesome! When you watch his lecture on plants, the time will FLY BY! :) I saw your upload after this (before seeing this reply) and way to go!! :) Oh... one more food for thought...cancer THRIVES on SUGAR! It is TRULY the body's enemy. :) You can do this!! Continued success!
Maybe instead of giving your child pbj how bout cook up a bunch of sausages for him.. or beef patties.. they are delicious and easy for a child to eat. It's easy just to swap out one for another..:) for a crunch snack you can supply pork rinds..0 carbs all protein.
@@carnivorecouple if it's already cooked and on hand it's easy.. wouldn't it be great to have your child snacking on meat and boiled eggs..or egg salad in a bowl.. add a little mustard and mayo and it's delicious
@@salobrena6442 Yes! One of my goals today is prepping things like this again- boiled eggs, bacon and meatballs that are quick to grab and make meals out of. Thanks for the ideas.
I think we need to take the term “cheating” out of the vocabulary bc it minimizes it. Let’s treat it like the addiction that it is and call it what it is….it’s called RELAPSING.
Maybe you could follow Ken & Neisha Berry, and watch what they're feeding their toddlers. That's what I would do if I could do it all over again, raising my kid. No more ultra processed junk food in my supermarket cart. Please don't feed your little one PBG sandwiches, it's totally unhealthy, and providing real food it makes it easier for yourself also. Both you and your kid win, that way. :)
My wife will eat ice cream and cookies in front of me. I've gone 4 weeks on carnivore, no carbs. Made a deal with my self, I can cheat and eat ice cream or cookies but the consequences is I have to smack my finger with a hammer. Seems to work not eating carbs or cheat meals. I want extreme changes there has to be extreme consequences. 😉
That is very difficult. Especially when you’re not being a month in. We totally agree, that we extreme changes take extreme measures. Food addiction is real. It is a struggle. You can do this! Stay strong 💪
@@carnivorecouple of course I was just joking about the hammer part. But, things are going good haven't had a carb in 3 and a half weeks, no going back now. Love your channel
No biggie you fell off the wagon $hitt happens . Put on your big girl pants and get on track. You're not the first we've all been there. PS let your kids be kids and enjoy ALL FOODS in moderation. Stay strong 💪
Get that food out of your house. Your toddler will love eating carnivore and its good for him. You could make popsicles out of the electrolytes for you all to eat when you have cravings
Like Pim Jansson says - people are either moderators or abstainers. If you find yourself unable to moderate your behaviour, then you really have no choice but to abstain.
Exactly- I think that’s what I’ve been learning on this journey. Just having a “little bit” derails me. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely I tell people all the time not everybody can moderate what they're eating. I have an addictive personality I'm a recovering alcoholic/attic and I know that one beer is not enough for me I'll take the cake you have the one there is no moderation in my life no matter what I do for me it's all or nothing.
This is very relatable to me and many, many others! You are doing the exact right things for yourself, as well as your child. And just remember, you may be in a stall right now, but you have not gone backwards! That is a HUGE WIN! You’ve got this, and our community is always here to help 😊
Thank you for your encouragement it’s really appreciated. And your perspective that I haven’t gone backwards- I hadn’t really thought about it that way! That is very encouraging. Thank you ❤️ and this community is absolutely AMAZING.
Not having the stuff in my house has saved me many times. Not that I’ve been perfect, as I definitely haven’t! I’m more Keto than Carnivore, but I am also the type of person who hates going back out once I’m home… so if I have to make a trip out to get something carby, most of the time, I’ll find a healthier option. You have come up with some good ideas to keep you on track, and getting better options for your child’s future is definitely going to be better for all of you, You can do this! 😊
Yes keeping the house clear of bad foods is such a game changer I think. Thank you for your encouragement! We can do this!
What a great way to a new beginning. It will be hard, but before you know it, your cravings will be gone. I, too, struggle every single day. Thank you for your honesty and courage to share this very difficult struggle. I feel like I can do this knowing I'm not alone in my struggle.
You are definitely NOT alone. I’m right there with you going through the struggle. And if a person like me- who’s been so inconsistent the last month can get back on track- you can too. We got this! Let’s start over 💪👍
I'm currently going through the same thing now. Buy I've cheated more than 3 times and gained 24lbs of fat, water and inflammation back. I feel like I can't get away from the sugar! I'm definitely an addict! I'm getting back on track this week! We can do this!!
Yeah for getting back on track!!! I hope you’re able to put some new things in place/reminders/safeguards to help keep you accountable. As a fellow sugar addict breaking it is SO HARD. But we CAN do this!
I love your honesty! I am the same... just a food addict that keeps on falling off the Carnivore way of living... But for me it's four and a half years, not just the last month... I keep to 95%... but, it's that last 5% of trigger foods that keeps tripping me up and I have lost no weight in all this time... My downfall is having a tablespoon of pure Maple syrup at the end of the day... Yep, that does it... next morning... up two pounds...
Yes dealing with food addiction is very difficult and I don’t think many people understand how much it’s truly an addiction.
It’s hard when you’re caught in habits that aren’t serving you or your health. I hope you can take some time to figure out what steps you can take to end the maple syrup at the end of the day. Maybe sugar free whipped topping? Still not a great choice, but maybe slowly breaking that habit down into achievable steps.
For me I’d just have to completely toss the maple syrup out of my house- but that may not be possible for you.
Anyways- I hope you can find a path forward even if it’s been four and a half years. Tomorrow is always a new day. We CAN do this. ❤️
Bin the maple syrup, having maple syrup in your house while attempting an elimination diet is a recipe for disaster
you have answered your own question... good call on implementing changes for your whole family
Yep that’s what we’ve realized- this change needs to be for the whole family- not just pat and I. Thanks for watching.
I have been where you are now several times in the last few years. I am currently back on Carnivore for the last 3 weeks. Trying to get my husband on board. His chips and snack cakes call to me in the middle of the night or if he is not home, lol. A tip for chicken nuggets for your toddler. I cut up a chicken breast and a thigh. Dip in melted butter and then Porq's Panko Crumbs. Fry them in whatever fat you use. They are great!
I so relate to your words “his chips and snack cakes call to me” -- yes! It’s so hard! I’m blessed that Patrick is on this journey with me and that I have the power to change my sons food. For some people who are on a health journey while their partner is not- that’s gotta be a hard battle. LOVE the chicken nugget idea. Will have to try them for sure. My little guy loves eating anything he gets to dip (like those chicken nuggies with sugar free ketchup would be perfect).
Your WHY Power - is stronger than your WILL Power..you got this 😊
#wisdom Thank you for your encouragement!
@@carnivorecouple you're welcome
Things I keep for kids in the house is, plain unsweetened yogurt , I put a few drops of monkfruit for them, cheese crisps(ingredient just cheese) and cheese strings. They like chicken and fish the most so I try out different recipes for them. They love air fried chicken wings and they also love “nuggets” I blend pork rinds into a flour add beef flour,salt and spices dip the chicken in egg and cover them in the flour blend and we all love those and air fry, so good!
These are all GREAT ideas! Thank you so much for the tips. I think they’d all be winners for us.
Cait, don't be too hard on yourself. I keep nothing at home that I can't eat on Carnivore, but I do eat a small chocolate once a week and I physically go to buy and eat it on that day. I lost 24kg's to reach my goal weight for the first time in my adult life and I'm maintaining my weight. You can do it!
Wow congratulations on reaching your goal weight! That is so inspiring. Thank you for the encouragement ❤️💪
June has been equally hard for me as well. Today is a new day and a new start!
Way to go! Today is a new day and it’s the perfect time to start! 🎉 💪
Good for you, Caitlyn, for recognizing your triggers and being proactive not only for your sake but for your little man’s sake. I commend you! ❤
Yes! Thank you!
Downs are part of the journey. You've succeeded by being introspective, asking why, course correcting, and carrying on. You've got this!!
Thank you for the encouragement. The only way to go is up now!
It's impossible to "cheat on a diet". We can only cheat ourselves. Of course, we have to pick ourselves up and carry on, but we should never tell ourselves that cheating is ok. Cheating should be painful, because if it isn't we'll do it again, and again, and again.
Good for you for realizing that the problem is with you, this means that the solution is also with you. And knowing that is very powerful.
Such wisdom in your comment, thank you. It’s a good reminder that we only cheat on ourselves. Thanks for sharing. 👍
We don’t cheat on the diet
We cheat on ourselves
Hmmmmmm
Puts a new spin on it, eh?
Love it!
Exactly right it’s up to you about your child’s food choices for the future, such a smart Mama 😉 Neisha Berry recently had a post about what her BB’s eat and it was fantastic.
So true - will have to go check out her video. Thanks for the recommendation!
Totally relatable, Cait. I struggle with this exact thing every single day and it’s why my weight loss is so slow. I love your ideas about reminding yourself of your whys in key places. We can do this.
The struggle is so hard… and YES we CAN do this!
So proud of you, your reasonings and plans will keep you going forwards 🎉🎉🎉
I hope so! Thanks for watching.
Try a 24 hour fast to reset your metabolism and help your body detox from the sugar. Totally relate, I now intermittently fast along with a keto diet.
Thank you for the suggestion- very helpful!
Totally agree and feel your pain. My four year old leave food all the time!! I hate wasting food and the temptation to finish whatever they haven’t eaten is so high!
I’m documenting my journey on carnivore also - I’ve failed so badly this month so I have been embarrassed to admit that on my channel. Thanks for sharing - just subbed!!
Thank you for the support!
Thanks for your honesty Caitlynn. Don't beat yourself up - just get back on the horse. Love you xoxo
I realted to evrything you said on multiple levels. 1st being a step mom to a 5 year old years ago, i was always cleaning up after meals so food didn't go to waste. 2nd, i started keto on 2014 and did really well for almost two years but on vacation i started allowing myself a non low carb sonething and another and at the end of the vacation i was completely off track. I spent another couple years on and off keto until i gave up. I so regret not taking my health more seriously. As of this year, i turned 50 with BP edging up and my A1C at 6, i decided to give carnivore a try. It has been the best decision! My A1C is back in normal range, BP is coming down and 25 pounds off. I allow myself ketovore days and feel this is the way for me. I had one cheat meal and felt so awful that i know it is not worth it. It is hard but i have to do this for my health. Thank you for being vulnerable to show people we are all human, and trying to do our best. We can do this. We can be healthy. ❤
Thanks for sharing a little about your journey as well. Congrats on the 25lbs lost and the blood pressure and blood sugar getting back on track. That is amazing. Your story is inspiring ❤️
Me too. My body is aching from sugar, ugh! I need to remember this feeling so I don't do this
Yes!! The struggle with sugar is SO HARD. But we can do it!
Thanks for speaking out about your struggles. This will help you overcome it.
Yep- just the process of reflecting and posting my struggles for accountability is very helpful. Plus, I hope that other people who struggle will realize they’re not alone and we CAN get back even when we fail.
BRAVO! I appreciate you sharing your struggles with this diet, as I and probably many others also have them. I wish more would share about how they deal with their struggles. Thank you.
You’re welcome- the less people feel alone in their struggle on their journey I think the more likely they are to keep pushing forward and not give up. We’ve all experienced low points and the key is figuring out how to move past them. You got this!
Total respect for your honesty and setting your son up for a healthy life and relationship with food. It's tough at times. Right now I am having some meat aversion. I'm staying carnivore, but its not easy at times. I am thinking of doing a 48-72 hour fast and see if that helps.
Meat aversion is difficult. I get that way sometimes too as I’m not naturally a big meat eater. I hope that fast helps you. You can do this!
Exactly the reason I stopped making keto fat bombs after a year on keto. I just found they kept my sweet tooth alive as long as I was consuming them. I couldn't moderate, so I just stopped making them. After going carnivore in Oct 2021, I no longer crave those foods. Cookies can sit on the counter for DAYS, and I never have the urge to have one. Given what I've since learned about oxalates and other phytotoxins, I'm glad I stopped. Most of the keto bomb recipes involve things like almond flour that are just LOADED with oxalates!
You’ve learned so much about yourself and that’s truly amazing. And I’m the same way about keeping my sweet tooth alive but for me it’s coffee creamer (even if it’s sugar free). Like you said- I just need to abstain and get rid of this sweet tooth. Thanks for the advice and encouragement.
I was doing great feeling better every day until 2 days ago I woke up covered with crumbs the small package of my grandsons cookies laying on my shoes by my bed. I was shocked,disgusted, revolted, angry with myself. I have restarted but still shaming myself. I told my ex husband what happened and he started yelling at me. I can shame myself thank you. But guilt and shame get me nowhere, is negative and useless. Good for you doing a clean out. Great job. Great video helped me look within
We've all been there. Just jump back on that train and move forward.
Regarding littles -Dr. Ken Berry and Nurse Neisha and Kelly Hogan take slightly different approaches to feeding their kids but both are working for them and protecting the children while setting them up for future success.
All the best to you and yours.
Thank you for your encouragement and suggestions. I’ll have to look more into their channels for sure.
Little failures is how u learn = keep on keeping on = u won’t b disappointed
Exactly- learn forward. 💪
Thank you for sharing. We have been struggling too.
The struggle is REAL. Tomorrow is a new day, and we can make new choices. For me, all that food is going to be donated tomorrow. I hope you can find a path forward as well. WE GOT THIS 💪
Hey Caitlyn, thank you so much for sharing your struggles with the rest of us! I too had a bad week, and it was all on me and not the carnivore way of eating. The fact that you can recognize and admit your temporary failure and get right back on that horse!
You’re welcome- I just want people to know they’re not alone when they struggle because that’s a very hard place to be. I’m sorry you had a hard week as well. We CAN get back on track. In fact I’m posting a video tomorrow about 3 changes I’m making this time around to help me stay consistent that I hope can inspire us all to get back on track.
Ps- what state is interstate195 in? (From your profile pic).
Great message! For the first time, I am understanding the relationship between a bite of this and a taste of that as the avenue that leads back to the addiction! Thank you for that revelation.
BTW, I'm so happy for your little boy that he's not going to be growing up with unhealthy eating habits. I know you mentioned the weight aspect of eating the wrong diet, but my biggest concern (as an older person) is those health issues that have a way of gradually piling up on you and taking their toll. If he and your subsequent kids are able to avoid that, they'll be WAAAAAAAY ahead of the game!
So glad it was helpful for you!
Thank you for posting this. Thank you for being honest, real and venerable. You don't KNOW how much I needed this video. I've been beating myself up for getting derailed when I got COVID, and not gettingback on track. I REALLY needed to see someone else being real about this! You're awesome! Tomorrow I'm off and I'm purging our house of all temptations!
I’m so happy we could inspire and motivate you. We try to be real and transparent on our channel. You Got This. Stay Strong 💪
I saw you on Intentional Carnivore's live. New sub here. Girl, this is the exact same spot I am in. I cheated a couple of time but then it is a downward slope from there and trying to figure out why I cannot beat this carb/sugar thing once and for all. However, we are going to do this together friend! I am happy to be your accountability partner!!
Hello and welcome! We’re so glad to have you here. I’m sorry to hear you’re in a hard spot as well but it’s so real and like you said, a downward slope.
And yes! I need accountability and we are here for you too. I’m actually posting a video tomorrow about my first day restarting and 3 changes I’m making to have better success. I hope you can restart with me! We CAN do this. ❤️💪
Thank you for sharing your journey. I totally understand having food available that isn't on your plan. I have 2 teens, 17 and 14. They are definitely NOT keto (what I do) so there are things that I don't eat in our house. For me, I just have to be an abstainer. I can't start at all on non keto foods. If I can do that, then the "other" foods are there and they don't tempt me.
Sounds like you made a good choice for your family and that is awesome!
Thanks for sharing!! Yes it is a struggle when not everyone is on the same diet as you in your home. But good for you for staying strong! 💪
Same girl same. This month has been rough for me too.
I’m sorry it’s been rough for you as well. It’s time for us to both get back on and improve our health and lives. We can do this! You got this girl ❤️🎉
You’re not alone. It’s hard. It’s never worth it. Gotta try to shut that inner voice up immediately as soon as it starts innocently suggesting succumbing
Yes! Tackling that inner voice is where I’m going wrong. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for being so open and honest.
Always!
I’m new to your channel and glad to have found you! I had a week of 3 slips but back on track this week! Thank you for being an inspirational family! 😊
I’m glad you found us! Let’s get back on track THIS WEEK. We can do it!
It's really relatable. Every time i see some kind of carbs that i used to love there's urge to eat it for "old sake". Actually it's not back to square one if you cheat some because that's in itself is already improvement compare before starting the diet, we just need to try have less cheat day compare to last week and at the very end there's no cheat at all, not per month but per week works for me mentally
P.s. : i start this diet because i think i will die young (not 40 yet now) because of hypertension, now I'm medicine free
I’m so glad you’re able to be medicine free and start taking control of your hypertension. That’s really amazing. And I love your perspective that a cheat is not back to square one but it’s just part of the process of learning and getting better and more consistent each day.
Oh sweetie, I am sitting here watching you in complete break down tears. I can totally relate. I know I am a food addict. I know I can't have a cheat meal let alone a day. I know I have to stay carnivore since it has been the only way of eating that works and I am at my best. Then why do I keep sabotaging myself? Why do I constantly give in? I know my questions are for me. Thanks for sharing your journey. I don't have the courage for all the unkind trolls out there. Taking this leap and admitting to myself how I need to change my whole way of life is hard enough. Thanks for you being you!!
I’m so sorry you’re struggling through this too. It is so, so hard. I’ve asked myself the same questions you are asking: why do I sabotage myself? Why do I give in? This is HARD. I’m so glad you’re admitting to yourself these things because that’s a really, really hard step.
I’m posting a video tomorrow at 2 PM about the changes I’m making as I restart the carnivore diet + the food I’ll be eating. I’d love to have you join me and restart this journey! You CAN do this - and like you said this way if eating works and keeps us feeling good.
Wish I could give you a hug and tell you it’ll be okay. ❤️
@@carnivorecouple thanks sweetie for your kind words. I am an empath. So I already felt your amazing hug. I loved how you talked about your son. Now is the perfect time to make really wonderful changes for him too. I taught my now adult sons horrible eating habits. My grandkids are a different story. I have them individually during the summer and they all love steak and burgers. Even my 16 year old grandson loves them without the bun. Big bonus for me. I will join you tomorrow as well as get back on track for myself. I am going to write out in detail my Why tonight. I am also going to post photos up and do the index cards as well. Sending you hugs and much love. ☺️
@@moviegirl1965 That’s amazing that you’re helping your grandchildren get back on track.
So proud of you for writing your why’s and posting them! That’s what I did today as well and it’s already helped me be more focused on my goals. See you tomorrow. Sleep well. 👍
You are being honest about your life. Refreshing. Get up and shake it off.😊
Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve been back on, strong, and down 6 lbs more. 👍
Best wishes for your journey
Thank you ❤️
Sorry About the past month. IMO your child should be eating carnivore also. The gold fish etc is GARBAGE FOOD that no one should be eating. Above all your child needs the carnivore diet. It is The Proper Human Diet and all that other stuff will harm both your child and you and none of us need the garbage. Praying that you throw out all the garbage and get on the straight and narrow. Praying for you! God will help you!! Love You Guys!!
Yep all of that food we had for him is on my counter and going to be donated tomorrow morning. I’m getting it out of my house so it’s not there for me or my family.
Thanks for watching. And thank you for your prayers.
Thank you for this video. I see all these videos of how amazing carnivore is but this is real and I needed to hear it.
You are so welcome!
Wow just so cool you realize it...that's half the battle. Don't beat yourself up to bad.
I agree 100%. Once I realized this I was able to create a new plan of attack. Thanks so much for watching. 💪
Been there! Maybe try a day or two of serious HIGH fat....like a few days of 85/15. Lots of butter, beef fat trimmings, with some ribeye on the side.
Thanks for your suggestions! Will have to try and see if it helps.
It's not your fault. The American diet was established a long time ago. I grew up with five brothers and sisters. We were poor. If it wasn't for PB&J's and bologna sandwiches with Kraft American cheese we would have starved. You can break the cycle.
It’s a hard cycle to break and I’m trying my best to move forward. Thanks for watching.
1/2 stick butter with 8 jimmy dean turkey sausage in AM. 1/2 stick for lunch with 8oz ground turkey w/ketchup. Supper 3 beef burger patties 85%ish lean no butter, sometimes we'll have pork, steak, or chicken, 8oz. for supper.
Hey, the Carnivore Diet is now soooo September 10. The 'new kid on the block' is the Fence Picket Diet and LOOK you're growing it. Chow down!!!
🤣🤣👍
I feel you! Today I fell off the "ketovore wagon". I'm mostly carnivore, but i eat green olives at times and sometimes a slice of Claussen pickle or just the juice. Those things help with cravings. I also eat an avocado a few times a week, but that's the extent of it. Hence, I call my diet Ketovore. I did keto for years, lost 76 pounds and as of the dreaded 2020, I gained 30 back. (Yes, I blame 2020, no work, no money, and the isolation)
If you don't mind suggestions, maybe you could make crackers out of cheese for your son. They don't take long. Even so, I'm not sure if he is old enough to eat those because they can be crispy. (I don't want to suggest a choking hazard.) You could make keto "bread" or muffins or even protein sparing bread for him and put natural sugar free peanut butter on them. And maybe some butter. I can't recommend allulose or any artificial sweetener, because I know nothing about giving that stuff to kids. But i bet you could smash up banana and put it into some plain yogurt or cottage cheese if he will eat that. Or berries?
Neisha Berry has toddlers. Not sure if you watch her channel but you may find suggestions from her since she shows what she feeds them on her channel.
You already know this stuff, I'm sure. I want things to work through for you and your family. I feel you, truly. I subscribed to your channel today. I know you're going to win! It can be hard to resist when there are others in the household who aren't following a like diet.
By the way, I loved the picture you posted. You look so lovely in the dress! Best wishes sent.
Thank you so much for the practical meal ideas and for subscribing to our channel. We’re happy to have you along this journey.
I’ve see a little from Neisha but definitely need to go watch again for some more kid ideas now that we’re changing his way of eating as well.
I totally get the Ketovore life- I was there as well and like you needed the pickles/olives to help with cravings.
Thanks for watching! 💪
I have been battling the same thinking for my own child! Not that I eat his snacks. But should I be giving this stuff to my son?
I think answering the question “should I give this stuff to my son” goes back to figuring out what habits you want to help them develop for their future.
For me, the answer is no. And I’m getting rid of all the processed snacks/sugars/juice etc
Oh my goodness I live with my baby grand daughter and end up eating what she doesn’t, like her yummy teething biscuits! And I agree with you, that she shouldn’t be eating carbs either, but my daughter thinks it’s ok for her. It’s really hard!
Yes it’s a difficult temptation for sure!
It's difficult getting started! I'm a teacher and have no mental or physical steam, and irritable while trying to start carnivore. Had to stop and add carbs. I will try when school is out.😢
You can do this!
I was on a diet that actually worked it was somewhat restrictive but it worked and the thing about diets is if you don't have the mindset no diet no lifestyle change will ever work unless your mindset is into it. When people ask me why I gained the weight back from that diet that I was on I tell them that know the diet didn't fail me but I failed the diet I went off the rails with my mindset my stinking thinking gotten away and I went back to eating normal garbage food. And as many times as I tried to go back to that diet that worked I could never ever ever do it again😢 which is why I decided to go carnivore cuz I like my meat and I like my fat😊
Yes mindset is the key to any success on any diet. I’m glad you found carnivore sustainable for you.
Awesome video I’m struggling too
I’m sorry to hear you are struggling too. This journey is HARD. But we CAN do it!
I restarted today. I’ll be posting a video tomorrow about 3 changes I’m making to restart and end these bad habits. I hope you can restart with me! We’re all in this together. If I could give you a hug I would. You got this!
Same here dear. I just HAD to have icecream last night. And I’m disgusted with myself! We need to forgive ourselves and get back. And goldfish started the trigger. And I can easily eat 5 pp@j sandwiches! 🤦♀️
Hahahaha you are my person! Lol. Patrick finds it hysterical how much I love pbj…
If I can do this you can too! Let’s re-set!
You go girl! You got this!
❤
Yes!! 💪
On Point Girl 👌 keep on youll make it
Thanks for the encouragement!
We got this we fall of the wagon but we have get back on and keep pushing .I try bring some stuff of doing carnivore for a few months one carbs make me sick 🤢 I can’t do that no more and the only vegetables I handle is onions and garlic the green one like broccoli, spinach, and asparagus they gave me gas in the past and make me feel bloated I never 👎🏾 brought them back I keep away lol . Let keep pushing I love steak 🥩 .never doing back to the sad diet 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿.
Yes yes yes. Stay strong 💪
In the four months I have been on carnivore I guess I had a few cheat days; like on my birthday I had a little a slice of cake; I have at times added a veggie or a piece of fruit; I have not eaten any process foods; I have lost 23 lbs in these four month ; in the month of August I have lost a total of 3 lbs. which is not much; however the only way I can stay on this way of eating is to considering this a life style; I don't see myself as having an addiction to sugar or certain foods; I can not myself as being restrictive; eventually once I loose the weight I want I will be adding more veggies and more fruits; however this will be the exception; I am happy with losing only 3/5 lbs a month and letting my body adjust to the weight loss.
Keep it up.
I also did the carnivore diet for the last 2 months and I failed miserably.. I usually don't crave bread or rice but after a week all I was thinking about is eating a loaf of bread.. I kept restarting the diet but after a week or even a few days I end up going insane and losing sense of reality and binge eating junk food like crazy. What I learned is that jumping head first into the carnivore diet is not a good idea. Im going to add fruits, veggies, and grains back into my diet and slowly lessen them and increase my meat portions every week until my body not so dependent on sugar and carbs.. cutting sugar and carbs right away is just like cold turkeying a medicine and I don't recommend it.
I’m sorry you struggled so much but I hope you keep going! Cold turkey starting is not for all people. I hope you find a way of eating that benefits your health for you. Have a great day!
You not weak. That food is just highly addictive. They make it that way so u can buy more.
Just say to yourself that you will not be manipulated anymore.
So true! Thank you.
IMO, you have failed nothing. This is the process. Failing only happens if you give up. We are all human. We have setbacks. Assess, adapt, overcome. The addiction is the thing that wants to draw you into a depressive emotional whirlpool. Just say, "No Thanks". You are doing the right things. Focus on your why. Understand the issues that are challenging you. Make and execute a plan to overcome. Part of the baggage we need to let go of is not just the weight. The mental dysfunction associated with our addiction is the demon we have to let go of. You are in control. You are working in your best interests. You can make any choice you want to today. Make the choice to get the life you want. Lean on your community. We are all rooting for you. My two cents.
1000000 %!!! These are the things we have to remember. I love how you put it that we don’t just have to lose the weight but we have to lose the emotional baggage of food addiction. You’re so right.
Amazing questions your lifestyle to you and your child . I have the same issue with my kids eating all crap but because my wife is completely sugar addicted and carb addiction. She has always been slim even with all this crap food so it’s even worse for me to convince her to turn more to Healy carnivore food . I have gone from 101 kg to 87.8 kg in 1.5 month earring healthy !!! You want to look at our anniversary cake 🎂 now ! ?😮😅
For yourself if you see the new lifestyle as a longer distance achievement your height goals I think it more important to handle your emotions to food and when you overcome it no one will ever convince you to eat anything else than healthy food ! That’s when the change that will be long lasting !
Wow! Congrats on your weight loss success that’s Amazing!
And yes- this journey is a long distance race and as I tackle each of these hurdles and disassemble them I’m learning so much about myself that will help me be able to stay healthy for life. You’ve got to go through the process to really make a change.
Thanks for watching.
Duuuddeee I thought I was the only one. That habit is just to show how this really is a real addiction. I was a pill addict for a long time and I noticed the same habits and justifications when doing keto and now starting carnivore. Last night the craving was so bad I literally took one bite of TWO DIFFERENT kids yogurts, a bite of peanut butter, and three grapes in secret so my wife wouldn’t see me mess up (even though she could care less. Def not a meat person). It was so shameful just like when my pill addiction was at its peak.
Today is just day one again. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water….just start at day one again. Remeber your why and go as long as you can.
The sugar and carb addiction is real. Thanks for watching
Same problem here!
It’s rough! Tomorrow is a NEW DAY. We can do this!
Spot on for me as well😢
I gave my son some peanut butter stuffed pretzel, and as soon as I caught a whiff of the peanut butter, I knew I would cheat.
The last time I cheated, it was a peanut butter cup. 😆 I guess that is my trigger.
I have 2 boys, and they eat different from me as well. It's really hard. When the snack food isn't in my house, I don't cheat. But I feel terrible that my boys can't have the things that they want
It can be tough. Stay strong and take it one day at a time.
You are a gorgeous woman, go back on carnivore - achieve your weight and health goals and you will be knockout. And yes improve the diet of your child. Keto is probably better for a child. They don't have the sugar issues yet.
Thank you. And yes- Im back on track starting today full carnivore and changing my child’s WOE as well.
Thanks for watching.
You go sweetheart. 🌷
Real talk diggi
Hey thanks for this video
You bet
It might help to look at families who have small children on the carnivore diet! :) Here's one example: ruclips.net/video/rmKb7PQQnMc/видео.html The temptation simply can't exist. Sugar is more addictive than COCAINE so you're battling something very real! It also might help to keep in mind that switching back and forth, can't be good for the system. :) I fell off HARD after my first 10 days and I DON'T have a sweet tooth BUT, I got fumbled because I used to drink SWEETENED coffee and teas! Although I'm a REAL water drinker, every blue moon, coffee, tea, homemade lime/lemonade would be nice so, I had a coffee! That ONE cup set me back 1 full week! And then I realized I'd have to "knuckle" my way through it! The long term bad health just isn't worth it. :) The fact that you want to break the cycle is a good start to overcoming this. And think about it like this, it took a lifetime to get where you are so it will take time to reverse it. :) Best of luck and continued success! FOOTNOTE: Look at Dr. Anthony Chaffee's video on "plants are trying to kill you". :) EYE OPENING!!!
Thank you so much for linking a video with young families. I’ve never cooked this way before for myself or my child so it’s a learning curve and ideas like these are so helpful.
I’m in the same boat as you that the sweeteners derail me. You’ve helped me realize the need to stop having them so I can crush that sugar craving for good. Thanks so much for your great advice and I Love Dr Chaffee!
I need to do more research into plants for sure 👍
@@carnivorecouple Hi there! You're welcome! :) RUclips JUST notified me of your comment! Hmm... Dr. Chaffee really is awesome! When you watch his lecture on plants, the time will FLY BY! :) I saw your upload after this (before seeing this reply) and way to go!! :) Oh... one more food for thought...cancer THRIVES on SUGAR! It is TRULY the body's enemy. :) You can do this!! Continued success!
I am my only worst enemy. My problem is I need crunch
You need to go full on carnivore because being keto is dangerous for us x
That’s what I’m realizing. I started back on track today 💪
Maybe instead of giving your child pbj how bout cook up a bunch of sausages for him.. or beef patties.. they are delicious and easy for a child to eat. It's easy just to swap out one for another..:) for a crunch snack you can supply pork rinds..0 carbs all protein.
Thanks for the ideas! I’m learning how to swap out the old and in with the new.
@@carnivorecouple if it's already cooked and on hand it's easy.. wouldn't it be great to have your child snacking on meat and boiled eggs..or egg salad in a bowl.. add a little mustard and mayo and it's delicious
@@salobrena6442 Yes! One of my goals today is prepping things like this again- boiled eggs, bacon and meatballs that are quick to grab and make meals out of. Thanks for the ideas.
Very nice 🙂❤
I think we need to take the term “cheating” out of the vocabulary bc it minimizes it. Let’s treat it like the addiction that it is and call it what it is….it’s called RELAPSING.
Exactly
Maybe you could follow Ken & Neisha Berry, and watch what they're feeding their toddlers. That's what I would do if I could do it all over again, raising my kid. No more ultra processed junk food in my supermarket cart. Please don't feed your little one PBG sandwiches, it's totally unhealthy, and providing real food it makes it easier for yourself also. Both you and your kid win, that way. :)
Exactly. And that’s why we are sticking to a whole food diet for him. Thanks for the support.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Your a wonderful mother…👎🏼🥪🍕🍔🌮🍦🍩🍫🍰🍿🍿🍨your children need you..👍🥩🥓🍗🥚
Get rid watch neisha berry her toddlers are carnivore and thriving
Will do! Thanks for the recommendation.
My wife will eat ice cream and cookies in front of me. I've gone 4 weeks on carnivore, no carbs. Made a deal with my self, I can cheat and eat ice cream or cookies but the consequences is I have to smack my finger with a hammer. Seems to work not eating carbs or cheat meals. I want extreme changes there has to be extreme consequences. 😉
That is very difficult. Especially when you’re not being a month in. We totally agree, that we extreme changes take extreme measures. Food addiction is real. It is a struggle. You can do this! Stay strong 💪
@@carnivorecouple of course I was just joking about the hammer part. But, things are going good haven't had a carb in 3 and a half weeks, no going back now. Love your channel
No biggie you fell off the wagon $hitt happens . Put on your big girl pants and get on track. You're not the first we've all been there. PS let your kids be kids and enjoy ALL FOODS in moderation. Stay strong 💪
Yep yep - time to get back on track. 💪
Hello pretty lady… .no goldfish &peanut butter sandwiches for your children what’s up…..
Get that food out of your house. Your toddler will love eating carnivore and its good for him. You could make popsicles out of the electrolytes for you all to eat when you have cravings
Great idea. Thanks for the support
My question is why are you poisoning your child with all the garbage food??? Get him on the Carnivore way of life NOW!
