Immediate weight loss and more energy. 👍👏🏻
Lost 202 lbs in 13months, keeping it off started single ingredient clean keto, than ketovorie, now i am 100%carnivore. Never felt better in my life, reversed type 2 diabetes. Overall health is great. Especially mental health is the best. Love your videos and your overall approach. I myself want to start a channel to motivate unhealthy people.
Hi Kate. I've been Carnivore for 9months now. I went Carnivore cold turkey on 26 August 2023 after being diagnosed T2D. Two months later I've reversed my Diabetes totally😊. I only eat meat and eggs. I eat twice a day and once or twice a week I'll only eat once a day. I've lost 22kg and have no more fat to lose. I'm 68 years old and doing weights. I'm feeling great. Thanks to you guys for all your input. Thanks Kate. Regards. Harry from Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA.
Meat With nothing else? A little tomatoe, avocado etc?? 😢
Ive been doing keto and IF since june 2023 and have gone from 355lbs to 183. IF won’t be permanent but Keto is now my lifestyle.
👏👏
Well done!🎉
Amazing work, you are very focussed and in the 5% who can be bothered to look after themselves
SUPER!! 400 to 250 in a year and a half. 74 years old.
For the past 7 days, I've been eating Chipotle every day. I get the salad bowl, but add two servings of chicken to get more protein. Sometimes, I eat this salad bowl twice a day. My carbs stay below 50 per day. And in 1 week, I have already seen benefits in both my weight and exercise.
I will do that thanks 🙏
@@user-pt4xx4wu2i nice. Lmk if you see positive results
Thanks. Stuff I wish I knew in my 20's...
I've been on ketogenic lifestyle and OMAD IF for two years and lost over 90 lbs, and reversed my insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome completely. I haven't had any grains and starches in two years. 0 grains. My only source of carbohydrates is from cruciferous vegetables. Although cruciferous vegetables do have some carbohydrates, the high fiber in the vegetables mitigates the actions of carbohydrates. It is a great video, especially when you reiterated that carbohydrates are non-essential nutrients. Thank you.
I have pcos and want to lose weight because of psoriatic arthritis as the extra weight puts added stress on my joints! Eating less carbs is hard!
Yep.
There are essential fatty acids and essential amino acids, but there are no essential carbs. I'm fine eating some, but I do find that for weight management and metabolic health I do better if I keep them to a small fraction of my calories, especially sugar and grains.
As a side bonus, the reflux that became a regular occurrence in my late 30s and early 40s is now exceedingly rare. I presume that's because the more satiating meals (protein/fat) reduce overconsumption
Thanks for the great info!! You covered so many important health topics. I'm 72 and went keto then carnivore over 2 years ago and I have seen amazing health benefits! Anxiety and depression are gone, no longer type 2 diabetic, chronic pain is minimal, fatty liver gone, and I have more energy than I have in over 25 years!! Carbs and sugar made me constantly hungry!! I'm at a normal weight at being obese most of my life!! Many of my friends eat mostly carbs and very little protein, but if I say anything they get offended, or think I'm crazy!! Appreciate you sharing this!! God bless you! ❤🤗🙏🙏
carnivore diet has been helping out all my digestive issues and making me feel great. have much more energy now
Back when I was a kid our parents used to throw a loaf of bread on the table to sop up all the food, lol. We had to clean our plates and were lucky to have what we had. This is so different for our generation, but I love it! I really feel better 🥰
Kait, love the channel and run a Keto/ Carnivore diet. Dropped 75lbs and held it off for the last 5 years. 225 to 150….thanks. Reversed my type 2 and been off insulin for 4 years.
Keto and IF reversed my type 2 diabetes (only just tipped over). Lost 40kg, HDL went up and TG dropped significantly. Feel so much better too
I love all your episodes, coach. This is definitely one of my favorites.
Once i cut down carbs…i started having good energy all day and still be able train (cardio and strength) 5x a week. Triglycerides from 188 to 61…blood pressure stays in the 120/70 range, lost 30 pounds and I sleep better. It really has me feeling better at 37 than i have at any point in my life!
Hi Kait, Great job on the video. I always feel much better if I can keep my carbs under 50 and keep the protein over 90 🙂☕👍
😃😃
With reduced carbs I noticed my sugar levels dropping and my water intake and energy levels increasing
👏👏
I've drastically reduced my carb intake and I don't crave food anymore. I eat mostly meat and veggies, and healthy fats
i generally avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates - and prefer to eat low carb foods. I dropped weight doing so....
Wonderul video Kait!
😃😃
Thank you for the videos about cutting carbs and eating healthy. My Triglycerides used to be over 200 and LDL was 175. Went on Keto and 12 months later Tri's are down to 90 and LDL 130. I've heard several people say their LDL went way up on Keto. I guess I got lucky. Ironically, the commercial that appeared before the video was for Cheerios. 😆
Nice and balanced video!
Two interesting things I discovered recently. Meat actually contains a small amount of carbs (glycogen) and even antioxidants such as vitamin C in the liver. So a carnivore diet isn't as limiting as people think. Depends how much you like liver though...
Hi Kait things change for me when I started watching your channel back in 2020 thank you so much :)
Kait I eat low carb diet' thank you.I hope you have a great week.
I’ve lowered by carbs to 75 g or less per day it has helped on lowering blood sugars
👏👏
I really enjoy watching the videos on the channel 😊. I also used to love! BREAD! too! much! and years of baking and eating bread really wore out my pancreas and I developed "insulin resistance". Today? I eat mostly vegetables (all grown in my garden), lentil beans, black eyed peas, garbanzo beans (also known as "chick peas"). I grow tons of varieties of beans and no longer consume any animal based products (no dairy, no dead animals, lard, grease, eggs, etc.). It's not for "health reasons", I just simply lost the desire for those types of fats and proteins over the years. I also eat a! lot! of walnuts, pecans, peanuts, almonds, and cashews). Now that we are entering summer months? I will replace all my winter stews and soups with garden salads sprinkled with sunflower seeds kernels and other types of seeds and nuts fir protein. I feel exceptionally healthy. My cholesterol and blood sugar readings are LOW, my blood pressure is excellent and I really enjoy life now (as opposed to when I ate breads all day, everyday and had barely any energy to survive). Love these videos. Great information❤.
I am going on 4 months since I adopted a low carb keto lifestyle. I have learned to eliminate bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, flour and sugar. I have learned exogenous ketones don’t work and that your body will produce them naturally. I am not down any weight but I have learned a lot and lately that your carbs must be measured and total carbs for me must not exceed total carbs of 20 grams. I think I must weigh out my protein too and to reach a goal weight of 150 lbs must at least eat 21-30 grams of protein at every meal. Any guidance anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!
Having a rough couple days . Kaits videos to the rescue . 😊 always helps get me some momentum . Hair is perfecto btw lol
Hope you're feeling better this week ❤️
@@HealthCoachKait aw .. that was very sweet . Ty and yes I am . I have a bit of momentum in the correct direction . Enjoy your evening . 😀
i've been carnivore for about 8 months and lost so much weight but i got some bloodwork back from my GP and he says I have hypercholesterolemia. total cholesterol 6.8 mmol/L, triglycerides 1.6 mmol/L, HDL 1.32 mmol/L and LDL 4.7 mmol/L. he said i should cut back on animal products like eggs/beef/butter and stick to carbs/chicken/olive oil/fish. not sure why he thinks reintroducing carbs would even help? im so lost and confused about all of this. I think i might go and see a dietician
Being a vegetarian since birth, life only got worse. I certainly don't need anything except animals. Having anything else is like self abuse.
Love the simplicity of your messages
Great video nomention of beer.
The only thing that stops me from being on low carb is fears about disrupting my hormones. For example, Mindy Peltz warns about this. I hate it. I want to be keto but reintroducing carbs for my hormone health throws me off every month and I'm consistently derailed and become discouraged. Do you believe the same thing about the need for "healthy" carbs for progesterone production and overall hormone health? My hormones were super out of whack after fasting too much a few years ago and it has me scared of fasting and low carb now . Help😩 I'm tired of having to carry this extra weight I've taken on for the sake of my hormones
i am low carb. its the only way ive ever loat weight. i still eat arpund 90g carbs a day through fruit and yogurt but low carb has healed my digestive issues for sure!
👏👏
Yes I knew that :)
What should I eat in a day at 73 years old?
Great video Kait. So true that we don't really need carbs. I think the vast majority of people can reduce or even eliminate any inflammatory issues they have by eliminating processed foods, added sugar, grains and seed oils from their diets. Again eating whole foods. Animal based foods should be the major portion of a persons diet with vegetables and fruit as a side. May I further this by saying everyone should be eating a good portion of their vegetables as a ferment, just like our grand parents did.
I've know for years we do not need carbs, but some are so good 😅
Used to be Keto myself, but you should look into Dr. Ray Peat for a lot of interesting info surrounding carbs, and nutrition as a whole.
To him carbs support metabolism, and metabolism is vital to every bodily function.
Also, more metabolism, more fat burned.
Thank you kait your amazing I been following vegsn keto
I have very low energy
Eat some carb.
My urologist told me I had too much protein in my urine. He told me to cut back on my protein. I didn't even think I was eating that much. 🤷♀️
Eating protein isn’t how protein ends up in your urine.
@@davidlewis1787 I wondered why he said that to me.
Keto diet gave me high cholesterol 😮💨 The weight loss was impressive though.
Triglycerides and HDL are what matter and it improves these numbers ❤️
It is not 100% but to ‘help’ stop starchy carbohydrate food like Rice from transitioning to fatty liver & body fat (Rice - glucose ~ fat) and also help stop Rice from spiking blood glucose.
~~Is to first cook the Rice then cool refrigerate (or freeze) it for at least 12 hours then reheat the Rice.
~~This cooling procedure changes (converts) the Rice (retrogradation) to a much healthier “Resistant Starch” with less fat weight gain and less blood glucose spikes. Reheating Rice back up again does not reverse this procedure.
~Retrogradation of starch is a reaction that takes place when the amylose and amylopectin chains in cooked gelatinized starch realign themselves as the cooked starch “cools”.
~Also (after rinsing Rice) to add another procedure to that. Some say to even help the Rice create even more “Resistant Starch”, is to cook Rice with a “ratio” of 1 teaspoon of Coconut Oil for every 1/2 cup of raw Rice.
Yep, I have videos on resistant starch and other tools to make carbs for blood sugar and insulin friendly
@@HealthCoachKait ~Good, yes I would like to watch your video(s) and learn anything more that I can. I would appreciate it, is there any possibility you could give me a ‘link’ to your “Resistant Starch” video(s)??

@@HealthCoachKait .
~Thank you, I learned something from you, the more we can avoid the bad starch and eat the good resistant starch the better. You could also add to that:: to add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to “per” 1/2 cup of raw Rice when cooking rice to help increase resistant starch.
A very short video from Dr. Mandel on building resistant starch in bananas::

You're always so tactful "they shouldn't be as big a part of diet" in other words, stop eating so many! 🤣 * looking at you food industry with all those grain snacks * 😒
You won’t die if you avoid them but will miss out on so many benefits. Many antioxidants and many polyphenols are found in plant exclusively. Those are not found without carbs in nature.Not to mention honey for example is known for its healing properties. I summary eat ur whole grain fruit vegetables and legumes as part of a healthy diet. This is why the mediterranean diet is so effective
Can u explain why over 2 billion Asians eat the carbohydrate "white rice".... And have been all fine and lean.......???
There is nothing wrong with carbs! If you are metabolically healthy you are equipped to metabolise them. But the vast majority of people nowadays are not metabolically healthy because of too many REFINED carbs being eaten too FREQUENTLY. Then metabolism of all carbs is impaired until insulin sensitivity is restored.
❤🎉
I think people need carbs to keep their cortisol to dhea ratio right, even tho our bodies can create carbs by their own, it's stressful to do so.
Your body needs HEALTHY carbs. Remember, we don't live to eat. We eat to live.😂
NO, you absolutely do not need carbs.
@@JamesSmith-pc6bh ...so you're saying we don't need carbs?!
Just eat a little fruit and vegetables Organic. Straight carbs are never needed, Straight Carbs slow you down and spike your blood sugars. Sweet potatoes are amazing, Carrots and Brussel sprouts and the very best for me is fermented cabbage. Bread, pasta,rice and so on are not need EVER, but these are better then sugary processed foods. My brain does very well on high protein and fats, just a litte carbs in the form of vegetables and fruits and almost zero Straight carbs.
lol I recommend you to consult with a nutritionist. You need carbs
POOF! there goes the entire Italian race! 😂😅😂😅😂
100 % INCORRECT!! I am a nutritious since 2003 after a diagnosis of coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure., from a weight lifter, steak and eggs, heavy meat no rabbit food diet. Instead of the proposed heart surgery I went back to college for nutritional science, and reversed my diseases without surgery using supplements and COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATE CENTRED MEDITERRANEAN WAY OF EATING, and exercises. 2005 coronary artery disease completely reversed not a sign of blockage anywhere, type 2 diabetes reversed, blood pressure normal. 2024 Latest blood test PERFECT. That is not a few pseudoscience articles, radical diet hopping, that is 20 years of disease free, healthy as a horse complex carbohydrate eating bliss.
You edited your comment. Your original one simply said that I was incorrect. That said… I am not going to read the novel you just typed 😅 You do whatever makes you feel your best!
@@HealthCoachKait LMAO! I edited so what. does not change the fact you are wrong in so many things that you pedal along with your affiliate links. You asked in what way. The fact you don't want to read the enhancement of the explanation just displays your ignorance and hypocrisy.
All carbs are not created equal. I eat a lot of carbs because I love vegetables. I have never taken RX meds all my life.
@@kittyswanson3611 Exactly. However Click bait tittles like "your body does not need them" gets more views.
@@DIDYOUSEETHAT172 There is nothing Click Bait about the tittle. 100% True
We also need to keep in mind is multiple people have become Type-2 diabetic when consuming zero carbs, or being on extreme keto. I have heard 3 different doctors mention having patients who had this happen. Also, even if non-essential, having a few complex carbs (not sugar or other simple carbs) each day will add just a bit of energy to our activities which will allow us to walk just a bit faster, not be as tired, or build a little more muscle when we work out. This also comes from the endocrinologists I have been following for the last 30+ years. One of which is one of the pioneers of the low-carb movement so many of us are part of today.
I have never seen any literature on keto causing diabetes, only the opposite. It reversing diabetes.
In the video I said I am not against eating carbs. They can fit into your plan depending on your goals ❤️
Utter nonsense. No one became type-2 diabetic on carnivore or keto. People have cured their T2D on carnivore/keto though, myself included.
@@HealthCoachKait The account is talking nonsense Kait.
These were individual doctors who had patients whose A1C became elevated after they put them on zero carb diets. Might not be any literature out there for the public to see. The way they explained it, it was like their body was doing the dawn effect all the time, not just in the morning like it does to the rest of us. It isn't very common, but it can happen.
I did see by the time I had finished typing that we agreed about eating some carbs, even if they aren't essential. 2 years ago, my A1C was 14.1. Today, it is under 6, even though I eat about 75-100g of complex carbs per day. Of course, that is also with the 150-200g of protien and who knows how much fat. I tried zero carb, and I felt sleepy all the time and felt exhausted after even a short walk. Now I go on 2 hour hikes, and the only time I feel sleepy during the day is if I don't get enough sleep at night.
@porkpie2884 perhaps you should read Diana Schwarzbein's books. She is one of the doctors who has had this happen to her patients. She isn't talking nonsense.
I went carnivore for 11 days and felt like I was dying. I had to be a scientist to get electrolytes right, I caved and put in veggies. But amazingly I had dry cracked heels and since quitting sugar it got 60% better. It seemed I had extreme extreme difficulty getting into ketosis. Felt like death. But I’m hopeful and in ketosis. It was like climbing a mountain
You experienced carb withdrawal symptoms. glad you're over that now
Don’t listen to her. If you are an athlete you need a lot of carbs. Carbs gives your body energy. It’s a fuel source. I work with a nutritionist every week one on one so I know carbs are very important.
I am a professional athlete, and I agree, for high intensity sport targeted carbs are useful for optimal performance. But this is not the vast majority of the population. And it does not mean carbs are essential nutrients - they still aren't. Maybe give the video a watch before commenting next time 🫢
ARE YOU A DOCTOR OR SOMEONE EXPERT ON MEDICAL FIELD? HOW COME THAT CARBS ARE NOT ESSENTIAL?
I am a nutritionist. I answer your question in the video.
I'm a high-carb low-fat being. I could crush a carnivore dieter with one hand.
That would just depend on the person to be honest
😮
This is a lie. You do need carbs. If you don’t eat them your body will produce them by way of gluconeogenesis. This in turn causes tremendous stress on the body. If you didn’t need them then why does your body make them? I’ve done keto for 6 years and my testosterone tanked. Sleep terrible. Running was horrible. Started carbs back in and lower fat. Testosterone back up. Sleep improved and mood and running. Why put your body under stress by avoiding carbs. Instead just eat them and enjoy life without the restrictive world of the keto cult.
Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video
Carbs are important to the body and the heart
Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video 😅
For every 100 grms of carbs youve just smoked 10 packs of cigaretts. 1000s of DISEASES come from carb type foods and hardly any from cigaretts 😂
That’s some vegan propaganda if I’ve ever heard it! No research supporting that claim
Nonsense
What's going on here? In the last few days I've seen more naysayers on the carnivore channels than in the past six months combined. Are the vegans fighting back, or is it the government bots doing it?
I don’t think it’s that serious haha. It just depends who the algorithm pushes your videos to.
Your body needs 0 percent meat to thrive on this green planet
You won’t thrive without animal products
If by "Thrive" you mean die, then yes.
@@HealthCoachKait I thrive I thrived I am thriving all without animal products
Just the karma alone should make you think twice
Ask yourself of all the people who die of heart disease this year what percentage would you say eat animal products
And how large is the plant based cohort in comparison
I know it is a little bit more complicated than that
Refer to Occam's razor is a principle from philosophy. Suppose an event has two possible explanations. The explanation that requires the fewest assumptions is usually correct. Another way of saying it is that the more assumptions you have to make, the more unlikely an explanation.
