Just got back from vacation. Stayed really good with eating but had cocktails and beers on the beach and just had fun. Went right back to carnivore the next day. Took me about 4-5 days after to rebound and lose all of the weight gain and get back to feeling better. No guilt no shame.. sometimes you have to make choices and just understand there are consequences. Deal with it and move on. Life is too short and too good to be hard on yourself.
The carnivore diet, like so many things in life, is about consistency not perfection. If you're looking for perfection, then look in the dictionary. That's the only place you'll find it. Be kind to yourself!
I don't disagree, but in my humble opinion, the less mistakes the better. But if you make a commitment to carnivore, you should be willing to continue even if you make a million mistakes.
If I understand Bella correctly, she said that the biggest mistake people make on carnivore is the lack of commitment. My definition of commitment is that you will continue to try even if you fail over and over again.
I’ve been carnivore about a month. Our family stuffs the eggs for a small community egg hunt. Someone donated Reese cup eggs. (Cue doom music.) After about a week of them sitting on the shelf, I caved and ate two. Then later I ate another one. (I had thought about hiding the bag and eating all of them, replacing the bag later with another one I bought.) Oh, that first bite was luscious! But the second…not so much. The third, even less so. … I put the package back in the basket, having only eaten three small eggs. Yes, that first bite was all I had hoped for. But the rest… ugh. The peanut butter was cloyingly sweet and icky grainy. The chocolate tasted chemical-ly. The aftertaste was bitter. And they did not sit well. Before, I would have eaten the whole bag so quickly, I could not have really tasted them. But now, I slowed down to savor them, like I do my hamburgers with butter and cheese. They did not compare. And this time, I did not beat myself up. Instead, I cheered for myself! Good lass! You paid attention! And you stopped after 3 in 8 hours! Non-scale victory for sure! Thank you for having taught me so much already, SBG! 😍
73 yr old Carnivore one year TODAY. I Started Mar 26 2023 I had lost 40lbs prior .I went down to 120 at 6 ft tall. I'm able to gain weight as a Carnivore so far at a healthv156lba. I've gained 36 lbs toward a stronger Human. I eat no Sugar glucose seasonings or oils. I do indulge in dairy . No alcohol no smoking . Thanks Admiralbird
I had a piece of cake the other day. People need to stop being so strick and feeling guilty. Been carnivore for 4months. Down 30lbs. Stuff my face with cake and no issues the following days. Continued eating normal carnivore. Live life. Continue doing it.
If I think about cheating usually at night, like a sweet treat or popcorn, I go eat a PICKLE!! and it ruins my taste buds and brain receptors to want anything else! THANKS PICKLES or eat a bit of sourkraut you’ll want nothing else ever again lol
I do a milk & heavy whipping cream, once in a great while! I’ve always loved milk 🥛 and still do, but better with cream! My new 44” jeans are getting loose on me! lI recommend monitoring, to make sure I don’t regress. Gout is a motivator! 80 years old women, not so much, anymore! Eye candy is one thing, acting on it, is way different for motivating! Hopefully everyone will get healthier, and feel better about themselves! Much more than sex, in life, but have as much as you can, while able and enjoyable!
Being from an Asian background, we grew up with such diverse flavors, spices and textures that make our food so special! However when I have such cravings I always tell myself that those food will always be there, my health, if I don’t prioritize it, won’t.
Just opt for whole food plant based, and you can enjoy food without being so restrictive. Also carnivore diet is so unhealthy, no one ever live past old age without getting terribly ill from critical diseases.
@@coffeemug3009i came from a WFPB way of eating. Over the course of 2 years I was able to lose weight (80 lbs), and my diabetes improved. Unfortunately, it also caused me GI issues (gas, bloating, inflammation, acid reflux) and some very severe bouts with gout. I was never able to get full (satiated) on the WFPB diet. The WFPB didn't work for me. I've been on Carnivore for a little more than a month, and every health issue I had has either improved or gone away. I've even lowered my blood pressure from 185/95 to 112/63.
I used to keep a stash of chocolate in my closet 😂 yesterday I cleaned out an area and found 2 pieces like a gift from God 😂 I ate them. Today is a new day
@@blacksa-tang2488 yea I was definitely just being silly about that. Having a house with no treats in it is the best way to go. The junk food is honestly not worth it.
This is a fricking amazing video and just what I needed. PLEASE PLEASE make more videos like this. It helps more than you know. All hail the Queen! ❤🥩👑
I have 2 cheat meals a month. Here's what I found out: 1. Most foods no longer have that particular feeling of euphoria, and also the taste of those foods actually taste terrible to me. I've noticed that fruits and vegetables taste amazing to me. 2. Watching how certain foods affect my gut, skin, and hair has had an almost immediate effect (bout 1 -12 hours depending) 3. The withdrawal feeling of not eating certain foods, and then realization that after eating something on my cheat list no longer "does it for me." (Expanding on #1) 4. Appreciating my dedication to myself when I know that I can eat whatever I want whenever, but I do not, because I understand that who I was before was not happy in the mirror or internally with myself. 5. Being an example and making others around me a little healthier. Since I am not always buying fast food, junk food I've watched my kids lose some weight and get on a better eating pattern. To conclude, this method of eating has helped me so much and well I know that it is not for everyone, it would recommend it for everyone that is trying to get their health back on track, so they can make better decisions for the rest of their lives. This channel and others like it have been wealth of positive information. Thanks so much!
I bought myself a six pack of crisps (potato chips in US) a chocolate bar, and a pizza and ate them all on Saturday. Been on carnivore since August, but have had the odd craving along the way. I just go for it. I currently have a sore neck and my wrist is sore, and my muscles feel stiff. Oh, and....the toilet the day after was not pleasant. Coincidence? nope. Do I feel 'shame' when I try a stunt like this? Absolutely not. It just confirms to me that carnivore is the way to go. It will take me a little time to feel better again, but I'm on my normal proper food and it will sort me out. We sometimes get frustrated about things, and we rebel against ourselves. Trying to suppress feelings is not good. Kids when they are upset about something, just let it all out in one go and they are done. We need to learn from kids. Carnivore wins again for me. It never fails to make me feel good and now I absolutely know that garbage food has never made me feel good, ever. But will that stop me from having another one of those days? Probably not, but I'll never eat all of that again that's for sure!
Easter with my Italian family…will I eat pasta and maybe a pastry, YES, will I resume carnivore YES! Will I feel guilty, MAYBE, but MAYBE NOT? Thank you.
I've made up my mind to not be carnivore this coming Easter. It's easy to be carnivore this Lent--I gave up whatever plant-based carbs I have been eating. From 75% carnivore, I pushed it up to 95%. 😊
In November of 2019 I was 405 LBS. I'm a 5'10 (on a good day) 49 year old man. I decided I wanted Gastric sleeve surgery. They put me on the Liver Reduction diet. This is a diet that preps you for surgery by actually reducing the size of your liver. It's pretty much starvation. 800 calories a day. I did that until my surgery in March of 2020. At the time of my surgery I was 360 lbs. After surgery I got down to 305 lbs. Then started to put the weight back on. I got back up to 346. I had an A1C of 6.5 and got a diabetic diagnosis. In April of 2023 I went on Mounjaro. I burned off the weight like crazy. By December 2023 I was 275 lbs. Then my weight loss plateaued. I stayed the same weight all through December, January and February. I started looking for ways to kick start my metabolism, and stumbled upon Carnivore. The first week I lost 10 lbs. I'm down 20 lbs total so far to 255 and it hasn't even been a month. My exercise routine consists of walking the dog around the block, if the weather is nice enough. If not, I'm solely a coach potato. This past weekend I was at a party. There were cookies. I wanted a cookie. I ate a cookie. Satisfied that the cookie was not all that I thought it would be, I went back on plan immediately. I actually dropped a pound that night. I guess the point I'm trying to make here is that while I have not reached my goal weight, I've learned a thing or two (sometimes the hard way) about losing weight and keeping it off. 1. Modern medicine is wrong a lot about what is and is not healthy, but they're also right a lot of the time too. So never just dismiss what you're doctor is telling you even if it contradicts what some other doctor on youtube who does not know you, is telling you. 2. Losing the weight when you are morbidly obese is more important than the means by which you lose the weight, meaning, do what works for you. Carnivore is great for me so far. It may not be great for you. The human body is the most complex machine in the universe. If cars can run on flex fuel than of course your body can. Do what works for you, whether that is Keto, Carnivore, Vegan, Weight Watchers, Drugs, whatever. Lose the weight like your life depends on it because it does. 3. If you're sticking to your plan, and you're serious about it, and you're confronted with a cookie that you must have, eat the cookie. If it's a piece of cake, eat the cake. Pie, eat the pie. Eat it. Get it over with. Let the experience wash over you and disappoint you, because it will disappoint you. It's not as good as you think it will be. Nothing is. Then just move on with your plan. It's normal. Set backs are normal. Treat it like the stock market. You're in it for the long term.
Avoid drugs at all cost. Sorry you got the surgery, but avoid the surgery. Make lifestyle changes. It takes years, even decades to get to where you are, you’re not going to fix it overnight. Be patient, consistent and stick to it. That’s my 2 cents.
I been carnivore for 1 months and I have seen great benefits. I do eat chicke . I do beef and steak mostly. I have more clarity, sleep better and my depression has lifted. ❤ thanks to Dr. Ken Berry I have learned so much and form this girl watching these videos.
Also I might suggest people wanting to do carnivore take many months to transition. After 9 months and basically carnivore I still occassionally incorporate some salads and fruits. We come more sensitive in time to how nasty some foods are and become adverse. Its a journey, enjoy.
After 5 years of intermittent fasting and a year of weekly 40 hour fasts I decided to try carnivore. The fasting seems to have prepared me well. I don’t know how anyone could do this cold turkey from a regular diet.
When I grocery shop I get a, “ How U Do’in “ from the salty snacks ( aka junk food ) aisle. I have grown to realize I need salt !!! Chicken skin salty & crispy really quenches my urge. For those of you worried about PUFA & Omega 6 in conventional farm raised & grain fed chicken look up how much is in an entire chicken. Now compare that to a Heart ❤️ Healthy salad. If you worry about your Omega 3 to 6 ratio Dr. Robert Lustig cleared up the confusion. Just eat (2) servings of seafood every week. Two cans of sardines…
This !!!! I do instacart and boy do I get cravings . My trick is to make sure I have food with me in the car . Boiled eggs bacon or burger Pattie’s .craving hits I squash it . Or I’ll eat before I leave . These cravings come out of nowhere .
I eat a can of sardines in Louisiana hot sauce 5 days a week M-F, fast on Saturday and on Sunday it’s an omelette and bacon for breakfast and a steak for dinner. I eat more than just sardines M-F but it varies in case you thought I starved myself. 🤣
My strong craving is sparkling water, i just buy a CO2 cylinder for make my sparkling water at home for this. before carnivore i don't like sparkling water but now... o boy o boy i love it.
Thank you for this video Bella, alot of important information here and a very appropriate subject. After 1 and a half years of Carnivore, I treat sugar like a class A drug because to Me, Sugar is as addictive as cocain and I wouldn't be surprised if Sugar is deliberately modified these days to be so addictive intentionally. Children Nowadays are so addicted to junk food, soda and Sugary crap, is it any wonder why Kids today are more Sick and over weight than ever before. Anyway! Thanks again.👍🥓 🥩 🍳❤
I have no guilt or shame over food. I chose to be a carnivore because it was my decision. While I have no plans to exit, if I did, it would be my decision. No drama.
I’ve missed out on the guilt and shame because as a Follower-of Jesus Christ I give all to him including that. I’m not saying that other Christians are not doing this, but God has spared me this because I’ve dealt with this topic my with my whole childhood. Not with weight but several things that happened to me starting at age 3. I came on board with carnivore for my health. At almost 67, I have turned a corner in my health due to eating this way, as many have already done. Respect for us all that hold fast to our goals even when we fall, we pick ourselves back up and start again. ❤
I'm also a follower of Jesus. I'm 77 and have been doing intermittent Fasting for 1 year my weight has been at a standstill. I'm down 25 pounds but I still have 50 to go. My daughter and her husband discovered conivore. Today is my 7th day. I have energy, I've started praying pickleball. Also this is my 3rd day free of jaw pain.
@@marygregory5085Yep. You need to combine IF with some form of exercise. Even just walking. I started a weekly 40 hour fast on top of my 18/6 IF. Now I’m 2 weeks into carnivore. I really don’t have any weight to lose but I feel like trying new things. I exercise 30 minutes a day.
Guilt and shame roots run deep. Codependents anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholic and dysfunctional families, etc. are great programs to recover from this.
This is our second month of carnivore. I’m so glad you address this topic. We have four children 6 and under, my husband travels for work and we homeschool; some nights I am so exhausted that cravings find me. Some nights are okay but others result in a spoonful of peanut butter. It’s frustrating and there is a little bit of guilt. But I think addressing this topic and letting people know this is relatively normal and to get back in the wagon is sooo good!
I haven't felt that way ...yet. Hope not to. I have had a dream here or there where I'm eating or about to eat some carb food that I use to eat. It felt funny, like I shouldn't be doing this... then I wake and think - oh good, just a dream.
Bella you’ve been a beacon of light for so many years now. Please don’t ever stop what you do- I can’t imagine how hard it is to endure!! This was the most important video I’ve seen in a long time. ❤ absolutely loved it,
This is really similar to gym workouts for me. I can get into a slump where I don't go for days & then guilt sets in & my clothes feel tighter & I don't want to go anymore. I just force myself to get back in & sometimes at a different time so certain regulars don't see me at a higher weight 😇 - it helps but just get back on track asap, The longer, the worse it gets
I have learned to avoid carnivire channels besides yours. Sometimes people make it a moral issue or all or nothing. It's not. Pay attention to how food makes you feel and stay true to that. I am not 100% carnivore, and I'm very okay with that. But I am 100% committed to eating what makes me feel really good...which is NEVER processed foods and grains and sugar. I think people need to find value in who they are rather than an eating plan.
My problem is i lost 50 lbs and then NOTHING for 3 mo. Im still there. Ive not taken one bite of anything i shouldnt have. But then again im not ambulatory and i was very ill with caregivers. Now i care for myself and care for my quadriplegic daughter. Im 74 but i wont stay down.😅😅😅😅
LOL..this video is perfect timing.. I went off the wagon tonight and I told the wife I'll get back on it tomorrow. I have a couple of steaks in the fridge waiting for the air fryer. Don't beat yourselves up folks, none of us are perfect. Like they say, shen you fall off a horse, eat it....I mean, get back on....lol We got this, people!!
Yes today they hit so hard it wouldn’t stop . I Almost went to the store . Instead I immediately made a ribeye & looked up carnivore content and this came up . I know the contrast with me going off track . I lose my food freedom and that’s why these cravings are so intense right now . When I’m eating only ruminant meat the cravings don’t come at all .when I eat chicken or fruit or dairy . But yesterday and today I didn’t give in and it eventually passed .
@@Christinesobsevations Thanks for sharing your reply.I'm about to become a grandparent and for some reason had cravings which I haven't for a long time. I gave myself a slap as I've come so far. I also fast very successfully and was fasting today. So I've had scrambled eggs with butter sticks and fine now. Everyone keep it up. What it's done for me is amazing Regards.
Truth, it’s not an easy journey! So grateful, oh cortisol! 😂now, you can go!! Thank you so much!! I needed this today. I do need a like community. I’m not hiding it anymore. 😮it’s victorious!! Even though it’s not eat! I just know it’s worth it! I’m in 90 days! My son saw the results in me he’s in over 30. He’s doing so amazing. True inspirational testimonies coming. I love you guys!!!! Thank you!! And Lord bless you all. Fear is a liar!! 🙏💯💕🤗
I’m glad I don’t have an addictive personality. Once I started the carnivore diet, I have zero cravings and I actually eat less. The only thing I’m worried about is that I can’t afford to be thinner than I already am.
I’m also struggling with weight loss and just dropped down to 93 pounds. I’m doing keto-vore and intermittent fasting. I’m doing this for cancer and dementia prevention, but have not figured out how to keep from losing weight since I am never hungry. I am 76 years old, 5 foot three female.
I have a 5-day trip to Phoenix in a few weeks. I'll be spending time with my cousin...and she's not into carnivore. I'm already thinking that I'll probably go off my carnivore diet and eat some of the things that I haven't had in over 6 weeks now...sweet tea, Chic-Fil-A w/waffle fries and lots of ketchup, etc, etc. It's not going to be easy to resist these things!
I just got back from week vacation in Phoenix area facing exactly same scenario as you. I tried to stay as true to the carnivore way ...eggs meat... etc I "cheated with a few veggies and biggest cheat some wine but really tried to stay away from chips and dessert. Go get some pork rinds or deli meat boiled eggs and cheese from safeway for snacking... when I got home went strict carn again. Good luck!
Whichever area of the property human diet you are in, Mark Sisson has it right. Remember the 80-20 rule. Nobody can stay 100% of proper food 100% of the time in the world we live in. If you fall off the wagon don’t stress about it. Remember you are doing vastly better most likely than you ever did before. If you are out somewhere and eat something you don’t eat at home, that’s OK. If it negatively affects you try to avoid it next time.
I am on carnivore for 2 mos now. Have not a single pound. Meats, eggs, little cheese and Kefir (twice a day small cup). Only two meals a day. What am I doing wrong? Is it kefir?
I’ve been yo-yo-ing for years. I know how the cravings feel and I know how I will feel when I give in. I deliver to 5 or 7 walmart stores each day. Every time I walk through trying to find a manager for my delivery, especially this time of year, there are multiple aisles of candy and junk that I have to walk by. Years ago on keto I made this repeatable conversation in my head; “you know this won’t make you happy”, and, “you know it’s not as good as you think it is right now, and you will be miserable later.” Then I keep walking. Side note, this life experience helped me get off my high horse and empathize with other addicts in our society that don’t get as much compassion. When they say they want to quit, they mean it. When they relapse, it’s because everything in them is screaming for them to give in and get more. I get it.
I’ve been yo yo ing a long time as well. My “dieting” actually started because I was breastfeeding and my baby reacted to EVERYTHING through my milk with eczema. I eventually landed on keto then carnivore. I’ve noticed I have tummy issues now that I never used to deal with and I think it’s from going back and forth with different diets.
On vacation, during holidays, it is hard to stay true to your body…..but, when you fall off the wagon and it runs over you, you remember why you were on carnivore in the first place. Treat yourself to a nice steak cooked by someone else. You will be back in no time.
Yes, this happened to me after my husband passed away September 2023. I had done great on Carnivore since February 2023. Felt better and lost 73 lbs. I completely fell off the wagon. Just started back on full Carnivore but I’m thinking all the sugar has now done irreparable damage. My Dr now believes I have developed Autonomic dysfunction.
It’s like Dr Lisa Wiedeman says, you have to have a “why” that makes you cry. It’s not about weight loss for everyone. Mine is mainly about auto immune and staving off Alzheimer’s. If I choose to have something off diet, I have no problem getting back to where I want to be because I really have that “why.”
I kind of relate it to when I quit smoking. I failed many times. I tried many strategies other people suggested. I finally came up with strategies that worked for me, but possibly wouldn't work for someone else. But those ideas were also helped by suggestions other people had made that didn't succeed for me. I just had to modify to fit my situation.
My life journey has had so many rollercoasters that I was able to ditch the guilt quickly. I acknowledge when I am diving into an emotional binge. I use it as observation.. i look at the effects it has on my mood, stomach, joints etc. And I get new information everytime. I have been getting more carnivore overtime. I have also evolved my binges from large amount of junk to several bites at a time. I actually get a lot of joy and liberation from my "cheats" I have fewer and fewer negative reactions and sometimes something like a bit of iceberg lettuce can be a spectacular sweet! Now when I cheat, I then follow up with fat and meat immediately... I don't put carnivore off until a future moment. I am carnivore surrounding that insignificant treat.💚💚💚
Hello, I am an 85- year -old woman and weigh 56kg I have been on carnivore for 8 weeks now. I have developed a rejection of meat except bacon sausages and pork. I eat 5 eggs a day 4 slices of streaky bacon and 2 sausages. I can't manage anymore and feel I am not eating enough. Not sure where to go from here. I would be glad of some suggestions, please.
It took me many months to be able to eat alot of beef. Sounds like you are doing pretty good! I'm 70 and see all these young folks eating all this food and I also wondered if I was under eating. I've come to realize you just don't need as much food when you are older. I don't worry about it any more and just do what is right for me. Also all that extra added fat didn't work for me either.
Aloha, Joan. I've been carnivore for almost the same amount of time and trying to find my way just like you. BTW: I'm a 78-year-old woman living alone; I'm 5', weigh 111 so I'm near my desired weight. I'm not doing Carnivore for weight loss but in order to self-heal my IBS and SIBO health problems that my docs won't/can't address. Recently, after reading Dr. Shawn Baker's very informative book "The Carnivore Diet", I started to realize there were SO many diverse and delicious carnivore choices other than just a ribeye steak for us. For example, bison, lamb, goat, chicken thighs & party wings (yum!), liver, all types of seafood -- fresh & canned tuna, salmon, sardines, mackerel, shrimp , etc., along with eggs boiled, fried, scrambled, in omelets, and dairy (milk, cream, butter, cheese) if you can tolerate them. Also, I found it much more enjoyable to have two or three kinds of protein on my breakfast plate (ex 2 eggs, 1/2 T butter, 1 beef or pork brat/knockwurst, 1/2 can of sardines/mackerel) and for dinner (ex. 1-2 chicken thighs, 1/2 T butter, some canned pink salmon). This is our journey to better health as we age gracefully, Joan. Don't give up! Keep listening to our Carnivore experts and please keep on trying new carnivore foods to help with making wholesome choices for diverse nutrition sources and for overall eating enjoyment❣
Maybe have six eggs or three sausages in your meal I some times have a table spoon of apple cider vinegar before I eat because it helps with digestion, before I went carnivore (on the SAD) I was waking up at 3am with heart burn and indigestion when I ate that junk I was drinking alcohol as well that combination damaged my pancreas and liver I ended up developing stage three Cerosis number four is the end/transplant. That was 2022 I went full carnivore 2023 and my liver is slowly healing I walk and ride a bicycle nearly every day and I'm 64
To be a carnivor requires paying attention. I've been attempting to be a carnivor for more than two years. What I've discovered is that I can get a bag of potato chips into my hands without even realizing I have them in my hands, and a few of them in my mouth chewed up and swallowed. That's how the trouble starts.
Hi I have a question for you, I have been on eating ground beef, bacon, eggs, butter, chicken thighs skin on can’t afford steak, for 68 days. I cut out sugar and carbs , what ways meal making or other kinds of food that doesn’t cost a lot do you suggest? I don’t snack I eat 1 to 2 meals a day, before I was eating all kinds of meals and snacks, so you have been carnivore for years explain some type of meals , thanks love your videos
just got home from local grocery store, never had "charcoal steak" before that I know of , but they had it available so I bought 2 and they're in sous vide right now with salt & MSG, eating some hard boiled eggs and jerky while I wait lol
Thank you. ❤ the struggle is real. But the result from being carnivore 28 days out of the month has been such a blessing. I don't go crazy on those two days. I will have something I've been craving, like high-end sushi roll and not all the other sides . Or a burger that is fully dressed minus FF. This only happens because enjoy it. I can't thank this community enough.
I have some info that I'd like to present for feedback/thoughts/advice. 2/2/24 I did bloodwork. 2/9/24 I started carnivore. I weighed 292# and as of 4/2 im down to 262#. Had a fasting advanced lipid panel on 3/26 and results scared me. My triglycerides jumped from 95 to 243, total Cholesterol from 186 to 310, HDL from 37 to 26, LDL FROM 130 TO 239 Chol/HDLC ratio at 11.9 . I eat eggs and bacon for breakfast and beef for dinner. no lunch with only water. Have 2 cups of black coffee in the morning. Scary ?
SBG! ❤When you played the Great Entertainer at the end of the show, it brought back fond memories from my childhood! I had an Asian neighbor who played piano, and she would play that for me all the time❤❤ when I was a little .I would feel so special.. Thank you for bringing up that wonderful memory.❤❤❤❤
Ate a couple Justin’s mini peanut butter cups yesterday. Better tasting than a Reese’s. I feel ok about it. Walked around a store looking at all the power bars, Atkin candy, 5-ingredient bars… and just told myself…it no good for you so high in carbs and other weird stuff. Self affirmations. I have to think of how I feel right now.
I’m just glad I found out what was hurting my health! I limit the bad stuff, and quit drinking, because it’s not a form of entertainment, it’s poison. I loved chili, but I have no lose more weight, before trying it again, and see what happens. I celebrate birthdays, with a one inch square piece of cake 🎂, and sing happy birthday 🎉! I drink water, tea, and coffee, and some milk with heavy whipping cream, once in a while! I eat cabbage with onions and carrots, with my corn beef, because my wife lives with me, and we try to have meals together. I’ve lost 40 pounds, and am pretty satisfied with my current weight, and wardrobe. I ordered my first pair of “Mugsy” jeans 👖! They start at 44. I only ordered 1, because I am sure, my size will change! I’m accumulating a diverse set of sizes, but not in the 50’s. Gout is my motivation. Mobility is a right in there, also! I tell myself that food and drink are not entertainment, even if society thinks otherwise. My jeans just arrived, and they are already loose! Love the jeans, because they fit perfectly!
Hello Bella. I've been trying to get more carnivore lifestyle. It has been 6 months. But it is not getting easier. Ckuld it be tha I am allergic to BEEF? Please make video about *ALPHA-GAL*
I am eating beef… eggs… tallow… butter. and every once in a while bacon. AND coffee… I’m addicted… I really thought 💭 could quit coffee… ☕️ it makes me feel weak…
Yesterday was my birthday. But I haven't talked about carnivore. My son bought me a bunch of chocolate, and my daughter went to trader Joe's and bought tons of " good for you munchies" mostly carbs. I don't feel guilty but I have noticed how sugary sweets are. So I am thinking as long as I don't open the bags, I should be okay. Or maybe a trip to the food pantry for delivery. Will see.
You’re such a amazing young woman with so much talent and passion for what you do🎹🎼 I have been looking at your videos and you’re so lovely🤗so inspiring when you played that beautiful piano. I just don’t understand how you can consume so much meat 🥩 at ones. I’m glad you’re in this journey and helping so many people who really need to change her life style and become healthier. I’m amazed how you can eat all that protein at each meal and all those eggs. I love that you consume all the high fat but I wonder if you’re looking into your glucose levels every time you eat a meal. It’s to much protein and that’s dangerous bcz to much protein levels in your body can be problematic. Look at Franco he’s a famous You RUclips videos in the past and he got sick from consuming to much protein he was having problems with to much iron overload in his body. I hope you stay healthy🙏but me as Ketogenic lifestyle I can’t consume all that protein at ones. I definitely can’t imagine me eating so much protein my body would not aloud me to digest all that protein without getting sick. Respectfully I’m happy for you though I know you’re trying to help others genuinely but definitely to much protein at ones.
This is why at parties, birthdays and festivities I quit carnivore for a while. Basically at Chrismas, Easter, Saint John, Halloween and family meetings I just quit. I can't be around all that people and all that food, not eat it and not feel bad. It's like if I'm overrestrictive I end up binging. Eating in front of others was such a shameful thing to do and being able to "eat whaterver" with others now is such a relief. Maybe is just temporary in my healing journey, but for now it works.
in my first 3 months I had like 4-5 days where I had 1kg of ice cream a day. I felt bad but I just go on with carnivore anyway without stressing too much. Later I stopped the raw milk too. Now in 7 months carnivore I am as clean as I can be. Now knowing how bad my body felt having that ice cream I have no longer any desire for short enjoyment and longer unwell feeling. No cravings anymroe.
Wow! Reading these comments makes me happy I’ve never craved sweets. The only problem I’m having is all the hidden carbs in everything. Only way is to prepare your own food and if you don’t, read every single label for macros and ingredients.

Just got back from vacation. Stayed really good with eating but had cocktails and beers on the beach and just had fun. Went right back to carnivore the next day. Took me about 4-5 days after to rebound and lose all of the weight gain and get back to feeling better. No guilt no shame.. sometimes you have to make choices and just understand there are consequences. Deal with it and move on. Life is too short and too good to be hard on yourself.
True
Nicely said... me too. Took all the pressure off of me during the vacation...
Just got back from Jamaica. Had a blast. Back on track on no time. No guilt whatsoever ❤
Love that! When our health is better we can cope with a treat or a cocktail once in a while
@Patriot-dt3wk……sometimes you just gotta say…….wtf.
The carnivore diet, like so many things in life, is about consistency not perfection. If you're looking for perfection, then look in the dictionary. That's the only place you'll find it. Be kind to yourself!
Agreed 🙌❤️
Love this!!
Took the words right out of my mouth. Just don't touch my steak LOL
I don't disagree, but in my humble opinion, the less mistakes the better. But if you make a commitment to carnivore, you should be willing to continue even if you make a million mistakes.
Best advice for everything in life!
If I understand Bella correctly, she said that the biggest mistake people make on carnivore is the lack of commitment. My definition of commitment is that you will continue to try even if you fail over and over again.
Wrong
I’ve been carnivore about a month. Our family stuffs the eggs for a small community egg hunt. Someone donated Reese cup eggs. (Cue doom music.) After about a week of them sitting on the shelf, I caved and ate two. Then later I ate another one. (I had thought about hiding the bag and eating all of them, replacing the bag later with another one I bought.) Oh, that first bite was luscious! But the second…not so much. The third, even less so. … I put the package back in the basket, having only eaten three small eggs. Yes, that first bite was all I had hoped for. But the rest… ugh. The peanut butter was cloyingly sweet and icky grainy. The chocolate tasted chemical-ly. The aftertaste was bitter. And they did not sit well. Before, I would have eaten the whole bag so quickly, I could not have really tasted them. But now, I slowed down to savor them, like I do my hamburgers with butter and cheese. They did not compare. And this time, I did not beat myself up. Instead, I cheered for myself! Good lass! You paid attention! And you stopped after 3 in 8 hours! Non-scale victory for sure! Thank you for having taught me so much already, SBG! 😍
73 yr old Carnivore one year TODAY. I Started Mar 26 2023
I had lost 40lbs prior .I went down to 120 at 6 ft tall. I'm able to gain weight as a Carnivore so far at a healthv156lba. I've gained 36 lbs toward a stronger Human. I eat no Sugar glucose seasonings or oils. I do indulge in dairy . No alcohol no smoking .
Thanks

The number one thing that most carnivores ignore is addiction. It's not just "cravings" it's a relapse into the addictive behavior.
good point
Definitely what we deal with.
Pain and disease is a good motivator!
Is drinking Alcohol occasionally, detremental?
@celenewilkinson9104……no it’s not. I drink on occasion, and it has not affected my progress.
I had a piece of cake the other day. People need to stop being so strick and feeling guilty. Been carnivore for 4months. Down 30lbs. Stuff my face with cake and no issues the following days. Continued eating normal carnivore. Live life. Continue doing it.
Everyone's body is different. You might be fine but someone else will not
I love me some chocolate cake.
If I think about cheating usually at night, like a sweet treat or popcorn, I go eat a PICKLE!! and it ruins my taste buds and brain receptors to want anything else! THANKS PICKLES
or eat a bit of sourkraut you’ll want nothing else ever again lol
It’s butter for me 😂 works everytime
But I crave sweet pickles
When I was keto I used to eat a pickle when I craved. Now that I'm carnivore I eat butter or sometimes some pork rinds
After dinner when I get a craving I go brush my teeth - the freshness from brushing shuts off my craving
I do a milk & heavy whipping cream, once in a great while! I’ve always loved milk 🥛 and still do, but better with cream! My new 44” jeans are getting loose on me! lI recommend monitoring, to make sure I don’t regress. Gout is a motivator! 80 years old women, not so much, anymore! Eye candy is one thing, acting on it, is way different for motivating! Hopefully everyone will get healthier, and feel better about themselves! Much more than sex, in life, but have as much as you can, while able and enjoyable!
Being from an Asian background, we grew up with such diverse flavors, spices and textures that make our food so special! However when I have such cravings I always tell myself that those food will always be there, my health, if I don’t prioritize it, won’t.
Love this mindset ❤️
❤❤❤
Just opt for whole food plant based, and you can enjoy food without being so restrictive. Also carnivore diet is so unhealthy, no one ever live past old age without getting terribly ill from critical diseases.
@@coffeemug3009i came from a WFPB way of eating. Over the course of 2 years I was able to lose weight (80 lbs), and my diabetes improved. Unfortunately, it also caused me GI issues (gas, bloating, inflammation, acid reflux) and some very severe bouts with gout. I was never able to get full (satiated) on the WFPB diet. The WFPB didn't work for me. I've been on Carnivore for a little more than a month, and every health issue I had has either improved or gone away. I've even lowered my blood pressure from 185/95 to 112/63.
@@coffeemug3009 whole food plant based is also restrictive in itself.
I used to keep a stash of chocolate in my closet 😂 yesterday I cleaned out an area and found 2 pieces like a gift from God 😂 I ate them. Today is a new day
The pain the next day told me not to do it it was real pain the next day and I love chocolate! Bummer!
@@stanleybennett8879 I love Chocolate also, but they say it has alot of Oxalates, bummer!!!
@@blacksa-tang2488 yea I was definitely just being silly about that. Having a house with no treats in it is the best way to go. The junk food is honestly not worth it.
This is a fricking amazing video and just what I needed. PLEASE PLEASE make more videos like this. It helps more than you know. All hail the Queen! ❤🥩👑
After a year+ carni, my tummy punishes me if I cheat enough to not do it again 😂
I do eat one square of 92% dark chocolate a day. It’s low in carbs.
I am on the ketovore side of the spectrum. Last night’s dinner was salted ground beef, cheese, and steamed cauliflower. pretty good if you ask me!
I have 2 cheat meals a month. Here's what I found out:
1. Most foods no longer have that particular feeling of euphoria, and also the taste of those foods actually taste terrible to me. I've noticed that fruits and vegetables taste amazing to me.
2. Watching how certain foods affect my gut, skin, and hair has had an almost immediate effect (bout 1 -12 hours depending)
3. The withdrawal feeling of not eating certain foods, and then realization that after eating something on my cheat list no longer "does it for me." (Expanding on #1)
4. Appreciating my dedication to myself when I know that I can eat whatever I want whenever, but I do not, because I understand that who I was before was not happy in the mirror or internally with myself.
5. Being an example and making others around me a little healthier. Since I am not always buying fast food, junk food I've watched my kids lose some weight and get on a better eating pattern.
To conclude, this method of eating has helped me so much and well I know that it is not for everyone, it would recommend it for everyone that is trying to get their health back on track, so they can make better decisions for the rest of their lives. This channel and others like it have been wealth of positive information. Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing that. Much appreciated.
@@truthmatters8241 you're welcome
Forgiving oneself is far more challenging and rare than forgiving others.
This video SAVED my morning it’s so crazy because I literally woke up making this exact mistake 😂😂😂. You’re my hero Bella!❤
I bought myself a six pack of crisps (potato chips in US) a chocolate bar, and a pizza and ate them all on Saturday. Been on carnivore since August, but have had the odd craving along the way. I just go for it. I currently have a sore neck and my wrist is sore, and my muscles feel stiff. Oh, and....the toilet the day after was not pleasant. Coincidence? nope. Do I feel 'shame' when I try a stunt like this? Absolutely not. It just confirms to me that carnivore is the way to go.
It will take me a little time to feel better again, but I'm on my normal proper food and it will sort me out. We sometimes get frustrated about things, and we rebel against ourselves. Trying to suppress feelings is not good. Kids when they are upset about something, just let it all out in one go and they are done. We need to learn from kids.
Carnivore wins again for me. It never fails to make me feel good and now I absolutely know that garbage food has never made me feel good, ever. But will that stop me from having another one of those days? Probably not, but I'll never eat all of that again that's for sure!
Good for you, man! ..We need more testimonials like yours...Thank you for sharing that!..👏👏👏😊
I was unwell at the weekend, so I strayed. It was lovely and cheered me up. I changed my diet - not my religion. Naughty-Naughty! 😲😁
I totally needed to hear this today. So much healing in your words. Thank you coaches for shining a light on the need to not engage with shame.
Easter with my Italian family…will I eat pasta and maybe a pastry, YES, will I resume carnivore YES! Will I feel guilty, MAYBE, but MAYBE NOT? Thank you.
I've made up my mind to not be carnivore this coming Easter. It's easy to be carnivore this Lent--I gave up whatever plant-based carbs I have been eating. From 75% carnivore, I pushed it up to 95%. 😊
In November of 2019 I was 405 LBS. I'm a 5'10 (on a good day) 49 year old man. I decided I wanted Gastric sleeve surgery. They put me on the Liver Reduction diet. This is a diet that preps you for surgery by actually reducing the size of your liver. It's pretty much starvation. 800 calories a day. I did that until my surgery in March of 2020. At the time of my surgery I was 360 lbs. After surgery I got down to 305 lbs. Then started to put the weight back on. I got back up to 346. I had an A1C of 6.5 and got a diabetic diagnosis. In April of 2023 I went on Mounjaro. I burned off the weight like crazy. By December 2023 I was 275 lbs. Then my weight loss plateaued. I stayed the same weight all through December, January and February. I started looking for ways to kick start my metabolism, and stumbled upon Carnivore. The first week I lost 10 lbs. I'm down 20 lbs total so far to 255 and it hasn't even been a month. My exercise routine consists of walking the dog around the block, if the weather is nice enough. If not, I'm solely a coach potato. This past weekend I was at a party. There were cookies. I wanted a cookie. I ate a cookie. Satisfied that the cookie was not all that I thought it would be, I went back on plan immediately. I actually dropped a pound that night. I guess the point I'm trying to make here is that while I have not reached my goal weight, I've learned a thing or two (sometimes the hard way) about losing weight and keeping it off. 1. Modern medicine is wrong a lot about what is and is not healthy, but they're also right a lot of the time too. So never just dismiss what you're doctor is telling you even if it contradicts what some other doctor on youtube who does not know you, is telling you. 2. Losing the weight when you are morbidly obese is more important than the means by which you lose the weight, meaning, do what works for you. Carnivore is great for me so far. It may not be great for you. The human body is the most complex machine in the universe. If cars can run on flex fuel than of course your body can. Do what works for you, whether that is Keto, Carnivore, Vegan, Weight Watchers, Drugs, whatever. Lose the weight like your life depends on it because it does. 3. If you're sticking to your plan, and you're serious about it, and you're confronted with a cookie that you must have, eat the cookie. If it's a piece of cake, eat the cake. Pie, eat the pie. Eat it. Get it over with. Let the experience wash over you and disappoint you, because it will disappoint you. It's not as good as you think it will be. Nothing is. Then just move on with your plan. It's normal. Set backs are normal. Treat it like the stock market. You're in it for the long term.
Avoid drugs at all cost. Sorry you got the surgery, but avoid the surgery. Make lifestyle changes. It takes years, even decades to get to where you are, you’re not going to fix it overnight. Be patient, consistent and stick to it. That’s my 2 cents.
I been carnivore for 1 months and I have seen great benefits. I do eat chicke . I do beef and steak mostly. I have more clarity, sleep better and my depression has lifted. ❤ thanks to Dr. Ken Berry I have learned so much and form this girl watching these videos.
Also I might suggest people wanting to do carnivore take many months to transition. After 9 months and basically carnivore I still occassionally incorporate some salads and fruits. We come more sensitive in time to how nasty some foods are and become adverse. Its a journey, enjoy.
After 5 years of intermittent fasting and a year of weekly 40 hour fasts I decided to try carnivore. The fasting seems to have prepared me well. I don’t know how anyone could do this cold turkey from a regular diet.
When i get cravings i make an omelette, cheese and bacon filling. Satisfying and full of flavour
I don’t get cravings but I do eat at least one omelette a week on Sunday.
SO TRUE and I’m so glad you’re reminding people of this.. there isn’t anything worse. Brava!! 🎉❤️
I’m glad you agree! Thank you ❤️
When I grocery shop I get a, “ How U Do’in “ from the salty snacks ( aka junk food ) aisle.
I have grown to realize I need salt !!!
Chicken skin salty & crispy really quenches my urge.
For those of you worried about PUFA & Omega 6 in conventional farm raised & grain fed chicken look up how much is in an entire chicken. Now compare that to a Heart ❤️ Healthy salad.
If you worry about your Omega 3 to 6 ratio Dr. Robert Lustig cleared up the confusion. Just eat (2) servings of seafood every week. Two cans of sardines…
This !!!! I do instacart and boy do I get cravings . My trick is to make sure I have food with me in the car . Boiled eggs bacon or burger Pattie’s .craving hits I squash it . Or I’ll eat before I leave . These cravings come out of nowhere .
I eat a can of sardines in Louisiana hot sauce 5 days a week M-F, fast on Saturday and on Sunday it’s an omelette and bacon for breakfast and a steak for dinner. I eat more than just sardines M-F but it varies in case you thought I starved myself. 🤣
When life gets emotionally hard you should FAST not poison yourself with carbs.
My strong craving is sparkling water, i just buy a CO2 cylinder for make my sparkling water at home for this. before carnivore i don't like sparkling water but now... o boy o boy i love it.
Same
Thank you for this video Bella, alot of important information here and a very appropriate subject. After 1 and a half years of Carnivore, I treat sugar like a class A drug because to Me, Sugar is as addictive as cocain and I wouldn't be surprised if Sugar is deliberately modified these days to be so addictive intentionally. Children Nowadays are so addicted to junk food, soda and Sugary crap, is it any wonder why Kids today are more Sick and over weight than ever before. Anyway! Thanks again.👍🥓 🥩 🍳❤
I have no guilt or shame over food. I chose to be a carnivore because it was my decision. While I have no plans to exit, if I did, it would be my decision. No drama.
👍
I’ve missed out on the guilt and shame because as a Follower-of Jesus Christ I give all to him including that. I’m not saying that other Christians are not doing this, but God has spared me this because I’ve dealt with this topic my with my whole childhood. Not with weight but several things that happened to me starting at age 3. I came on board with carnivore for my health. At almost 67, I have turned a corner in my health due to eating this way, as many have already done. Respect for us all that hold fast to our goals even when we fall, we pick ourselves back up and start again. ❤
I'm also a follower of Jesus. I'm 77 and have been doing intermittent Fasting for 1 year my weight has been at a standstill. I'm down 25 pounds but I still have 50 to go. My daughter and her husband discovered conivore. Today is my 7th day. I have energy, I've started praying pickleball. Also this is my 3rd day free of jaw pain.
@@marygregory5085 Amen! I also do intermittent fasting. Keep it up!
And remember that Jesus told you to be PERFECT as is your father in heaven.
@@marygregory5085Yep. You need to combine IF with some form of exercise. Even just walking. I started a weekly 40 hour fast on top of my 18/6 IF. Now I’m 2 weeks into carnivore. I really don’t have any weight to lose but I feel like trying new things. I exercise 30 minutes a day.
I loved the "bells, whistles and graphics." Never stop doing what you do so well.
Guilt and shame roots run deep. Codependents anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholic and dysfunctional families, etc. are great programs to recover from this.
I love coconut milk, but everything else is Carnivor. Carnivor is amazing
Dear is coconut carnivore friendly? I love eating fresh coconut. I eat it a lot. Am into carnivore for a month now.
@@tanyipaulineakon4151 I am not worried or feel guilty about it, I am still losing weight, getting healthy and fit. So it's my acceptable indulgence 😁
One month in 3 slips but kept going. 8-10 pm is a nightmare. I binge so I’m trying to go to sleep earlier. It’s tough
I'm PROUD of you!! Keep going, you've got this!!! You'II figure it out and you wiII be SO HAPPY!!!
Great advice, not just for carnivore diet but Life. Right out of the Word of God! (Rom. 8:1)
I follow a Carnivore lifestyle. There's no DIET in my vocabulary.
Number 2 Mistake: You said Diet 17 times.
Good morning from Copperhill Tn. I'm a little late, I was watching Dave Mac when I received your notice.
Morning! Thank you for being here, Richard! 🥩
This is our second month of carnivore. I’m so glad you address this topic. We have four children 6 and under, my husband travels for work and we homeschool; some nights I am so exhausted that cravings find me. Some nights are okay but others result in a spoonful of peanut butter. It’s frustrating and there is a little bit of guilt. But I think addressing this topic and letting people know this is relatively normal and to get back in the wagon is sooo good!
Oh yeah, I know what ya talkin bout. I'm gonna break my own rules for my 63rd birthday in June and get a "MeatLovers Pizza" LOL
You can make an awesome one yourself on carnivore!
I haven't felt that way ...yet. Hope not to. I have had a dream here or there where I'm eating or about to eat some carb food that I use to eat. It felt funny, like I shouldn't be doing this... then I wake and think - oh good, just a dream.
Crispy bacon with a slice of butter. Go on, you know you want to...........
Yummmm....I had that in the middle of the night, wasn't sleeping very well last night...just one bite bacon and butter 😋
Love that you play music at the end
Twice this week I thought about having a slice of bread... Big no-no... Grabbed a piece of bacon and put some butter on it. Craving averted
Bella you’ve been a beacon of light for so many years now. Please don’t ever stop what you do- I can’t imagine how hard it is to endure!!
This was the most important video I’ve seen in a long time. ❤ absolutely loved it,
Thank you for the support ❤️❤️
This is really similar to gym workouts for me. I can get into a slump where I don't go for days & then guilt sets in & my clothes feel tighter & I don't want to go anymore. I just force myself to get back in & sometimes at a different time so certain regulars don't see me at a higher weight 😇 - it helps but just get back on track asap, The longer, the worse it gets
First time I read your comment I read “bacon” of light. lol. Got meat on the mind I guess.
I have learned to avoid carnivire channels besides yours. Sometimes people make it a moral issue or all or nothing. It's not. Pay attention to how food makes you feel and stay true to that. I am not 100% carnivore, and I'm very okay with that. But I am 100% committed to eating what makes me feel really good...which is NEVER processed foods and grains and sugar. I think people need to find value in who they are rather than an eating plan.
My problem is i lost 50 lbs and then NOTHING for 3 mo. Im still there. Ive not taken one bite of anything i shouldnt have. But then again im not ambulatory and i was very ill with caregivers. Now i care for myself and care for my quadriplegic daughter. Im 74 but i wont stay down.😅😅😅😅
LOL..this video is perfect timing.. I went off the wagon tonight and I told the wife I'll get back on it tomorrow. I have a couple of steaks in the fridge waiting for the air fryer. Don't beat yourselves up folks, none of us are perfect. Like they say, shen you fall off a horse, eat it....I mean, get back on....lol We got this, people!!
Good morning Ms Isabella yesterday I made your graund beef soup with egg drop in it

Thank you Gorge! So glad you enjoyed it. Have a great day 🥩
I can't believe it. Exactly all that has happened to me today. I've not caved but this video put a full stop to it. Thanks
Yes today they hit so hard it wouldn’t stop . I Almost went to the store . Instead I immediately made a ribeye & looked up carnivore content and this came up . I know the contrast with me going off track . I lose my food freedom and that’s why these cravings are so intense right now . When I’m eating only ruminant meat the cravings don’t come at all .when I eat chicken or fruit or dairy .
But yesterday and today I didn’t give in and it eventually passed .
@@Christinesobsevations Thanks for sharing your reply.I'm about to become a grandparent and for some reason had cravings which I haven't for a long time. I gave myself a slap as I've come so far. I also fast very successfully and was fasting today. So I've had scrambled eggs with butter sticks and fine now. Everyone keep it up. What it's done for me is amazing Regards.
Truth, it’s not an easy journey! So grateful, oh cortisol! 😂now, you can go!! Thank you so much!! I needed this today. I do need a like community. I’m not hiding it anymore. 😮it’s victorious!! Even though it’s not eat! I just know it’s worth it! I’m in 90 days! My son saw the results in me he’s in over 30. He’s doing so amazing. True inspirational testimonies coming. I love you guys!!!!
Thank you!! And Lord bless you all. Fear is a liar!! 🙏💯💕🤗
STOP using the word DIET.... it's a carnivore LIFESTYLE
It is carnivore NUTRITION. IS NOT A DIET.
I’m glad I don’t have an addictive personality. Once I started the carnivore diet, I have zero cravings and I actually eat less. The only thing I’m worried about is that I can’t afford to be thinner than I already am.
That’s also my issue . As long as I’m strength training I do ok but still super thin .
Have more fat, best wishes! ❤
I’m also struggling with weight loss and just dropped down to 93 pounds. I’m doing keto-vore and intermittent fasting. I’m doing this for cancer and dementia prevention, but have not figured out how to keep from losing weight since I am never hungry. I am 76 years old, 5 foot three female.
I love your channel can you make more recipes please
I have a 5-day trip to Phoenix in a few weeks. I'll be spending time with my cousin...and she's not into carnivore. I'm already thinking that I'll probably go off my carnivore diet and eat some of the things that I haven't had in over 6 weeks now...sweet tea, Chic-Fil-A w/waffle fries and lots of ketchup, etc, etc. It's not going to be easy to resist these things!
I just got back from week vacation in Phoenix area facing exactly same scenario as you. I tried to stay as true to the carnivore way ...eggs meat... etc I "cheated with a few veggies and biggest cheat some wine but really tried to stay away from chips and dessert. Go get some pork rinds or deli meat boiled eggs and cheese from safeway for snacking... when I got home went strict carn again. Good luck!
Whichever area of the property human diet you are in, Mark Sisson has it right. Remember the 80-20 rule. Nobody can stay 100% of proper food 100% of the time in the world we live in. If you fall off the wagon don’t stress about it. Remember you are doing vastly better most likely than you ever did before. If you are out somewhere and eat something you don’t eat at home, that’s OK. If it negatively affects you try to avoid it next time.
Thank you for the encouragement! 12 weeks carivore - let's go! 💜🙏🏻💜
I am on carnivore for 2 mos now. Have not a single pound. Meats, eggs, little cheese and Kefir (twice a day small cup). Only two meals a day. What am I doing wrong? Is it kefir?
I never crave any sweet things,bread pasta potatoes and so on. If anything,l stop eating when negative things happen in my life
Oh my goodness, you just described me. I have zero craving when I quit eating carbs.
I will quit FrenchToast on Monday I promise ... 2024 Red !
I’ve been yo-yo-ing for years. I know how the cravings feel and I know how I will feel when I give in. I deliver to 5 or 7 walmart stores each day. Every time I walk through trying to find a manager for my delivery, especially this time of year, there are multiple aisles of candy and junk that I have to walk by. Years ago on keto I made this repeatable conversation in my head; “you know this won’t make you happy”, and, “you know it’s not as good as you think it is right now, and you will be miserable later.” Then I keep walking. Side note, this life experience helped me get off my high horse and empathize with other addicts in our society that don’t get as much compassion. When they say they want to quit, they mean it. When they relapse, it’s because everything in them is screaming for them to give in and get more. I get it.
I’ve been yo yo ing a long time as well. My “dieting” actually started because I was breastfeeding and my baby reacted to EVERYTHING through my milk with eczema. I eventually landed on keto then carnivore. I’ve noticed I have tummy issues now that I never used to deal with and I think it’s from going back and forth with different diets.
I’m not fully carnivorous (yet?). But eat mostly animal based and increasingly find that the “nice or treat” foods leave me feeling blank.
On vacation, during holidays, it is hard to stay true to your body…..but, when you fall off the wagon and it runs over you, you remember why you were on carnivore in the first place. Treat yourself to a nice steak cooked by someone else. You will be back in no time.
Yes, this happened to me after my husband passed away September 2023. I had done great on Carnivore since February 2023. Felt better and lost 73 lbs. I completely fell off the wagon. Just started back on full Carnivore but I’m thinking all the sugar has now done irreparable damage. My Dr now believes I have developed Autonomic dysfunction.
It’s like Dr Lisa Wiedeman says, you have to have a “why” that makes you cry. It’s not about weight loss for everyone. Mine is mainly about auto immune and staving off Alzheimer’s. If I choose to have something off diet, I have no problem getting back to where I want to be because I really have that “why.”
When I have a craving at night I have a couple pieces of frozen brown butter. Yum
I kind of relate it to when I quit smoking. I failed many times. I tried many strategies other people suggested. I finally came up with strategies that worked for me, but possibly wouldn't work for someone else. But those ideas were also helped by suggestions other people had made that didn't succeed for me. I just had to modify to fit my situation.
My life journey has had so many rollercoasters that I was able to ditch the guilt quickly. I acknowledge when I am diving into an emotional binge. I use it as observation.. i look at the effects it has on my mood, stomach, joints etc. And I get new information everytime. I have been getting more carnivore overtime. I have also evolved my binges from large amount of junk to several bites at a time. I actually get a lot of joy and liberation from my "cheats" I have fewer and fewer negative reactions and sometimes something like a bit of iceberg lettuce can be a spectacular sweet! Now when I cheat, I then follow up with fat and meat immediately... I don't put carnivore off until a future moment. I am carnivore surrounding that insignificant treat.💚💚💚
Hello, I am an 85- year -old woman and weigh 56kg I have been on carnivore for 8 weeks now. I have developed a rejection of meat except bacon sausages and pork. I eat 5 eggs a day 4 slices of streaky bacon and 2 sausages. I can't manage anymore and feel I am not eating enough. Not sure where to go from here. I would be glad of some suggestions, please.
Meat aversion is common! Eat what you can. Cheese helps too.
It took me many months to be able to eat alot of beef. Sounds like you are doing pretty good! I'm 70 and see all these young folks eating all this food and I also wondered if I was under eating. I've come to realize you just don't need as much food when you are older. I don't worry about it any more and just do what is right for me. Also all that extra added fat didn't work for me either.
Eating different meat might help. Are you eating fish too? I also do chicken wings.
Aloha, Joan. I've been carnivore for almost the same amount of time and trying to find my way just like you. BTW: I'm a 78-year-old woman living alone; I'm 5', weigh 111 so I'm near my desired weight. I'm not doing Carnivore for weight loss but in order to self-heal my IBS and SIBO health problems that my docs won't/can't address.
Recently, after reading Dr. Shawn Baker's very informative book "The Carnivore Diet", I started to realize there were SO many diverse and delicious carnivore choices other than just a ribeye steak for us. For example, bison, lamb, goat, chicken thighs & party wings (yum!), liver, all types of seafood -- fresh & canned tuna, salmon, sardines, mackerel, shrimp , etc., along with eggs boiled, fried, scrambled, in omelets, and dairy (milk, cream, butter, cheese) if you can tolerate them.
Also, I found it much more enjoyable to have two or three kinds of protein on my breakfast plate (ex 2 eggs, 1/2 T butter, 1 beef or pork brat/knockwurst, 1/2 can of sardines/mackerel) and for dinner (ex. 1-2 chicken thighs, 1/2 T butter, some canned pink salmon).
This is our journey to better health as we age gracefully, Joan. Don't give up! Keep listening to our Carnivore experts and please keep on trying new carnivore foods to help with making wholesome choices for diverse nutrition sources and for overall eating enjoyment❣
Maybe have six eggs or three sausages in your meal I some times have a table spoon of apple cider vinegar before I eat because it helps with digestion, before I went carnivore (on the SAD) I was waking up at 3am with heart burn and indigestion when I ate that junk I was drinking alcohol as well that combination damaged my pancreas and liver I ended up developing stage three Cerosis number four is the end/transplant. That was 2022 I went full carnivore 2023 and my liver is slowly healing I walk and ride a bicycle nearly every day and I'm 64
To be a carnivor requires paying attention. I've been attempting to be a carnivor for more than two years. What I've discovered is that I can get a bag of potato chips into my hands without even realizing I have them in my hands, and a few of them in my mouth chewed up and swallowed. That's how the trouble starts.
I did that with some carrot slices. I bloated that same evening. 😖
I had two surgeries within just a couple of years and it threw off my progress but I'm getting back on track now.
Hi I have a question for you, I have been on eating ground beef, bacon, eggs, butter, chicken thighs skin on can’t afford steak, for 68 days. I cut out sugar and carbs , what ways meal making or other kinds of food that doesn’t cost a lot do you suggest? I don’t snack I eat 1 to 2 meals a day, before I was eating all kinds of meals and snacks, so you have been carnivore for years explain some type of meals , thanks love your videos
@meatymama-lh7pn Hi meatymama Thanks for your meal ideas that really helps . Have a Blessed day
I just tried my first unflavored LMNT, and am now craving a Citrus Salt.
Are you craving the sweetness?
All my craving turned into dairy. And dairy gives me issues
Bella
Would you put a pic up of where you started since you’re so lovely now, it’s hard to believe you ever had a weight problem. Thanks
What she say?.... Cookies for an emergency?! Who does that?! LMAO 😂
just got home from local grocery store, never had "charcoal steak" before that I know of , but they had it available so I bought 2 and they're in sous vide right now with salt & MSG, eating some hard boiled eggs and jerky while I wait lol
MSG is an exitotoxin. Not good for you and causes cravings. You may know this, but I thought I would mention it. ✌️🕊️❤
Wish twizzlers were carnivore lol.
Ty, I really needed to hear this. 🙏
Very good point. What benefit is it to hold on to quilt, and shame.
Thank you. ❤ the struggle is real. But the result from being carnivore 28 days out of the month has been such a blessing. I don't go crazy on those two days. I will have something I've been craving, like high-end sushi roll and not all the other sides . Or a burger that is fully dressed minus FF.
This only happens because enjoy it. I can't thank this community enough.
Love the piano outros! Always put me in a great mood😊
Love this young lady channel ❤️
Thank you Bella. I needed this today.
Thanks SBG and coaches for the encouragement ❤
I have some info that I'd like to present for feedback/thoughts/advice.
2/2/24 I did bloodwork. 2/9/24 I started carnivore. I weighed 292# and as of 4/2 im down to 262#. Had a fasting advanced lipid panel on 3/26 and results scared me. My triglycerides jumped from 95 to 243, total Cholesterol from 186 to 310, HDL from 37 to 26, LDL FROM 130 TO 239 Chol/HDLC ratio at 11.9 . I eat eggs and bacon for breakfast and beef for dinner. no lunch with only water. Have 2 cups of black coffee in the morning. Scary ?
SBG! ❤When you played the Great Entertainer at the end of the show, it brought back fond memories from my childhood! I had an Asian neighbor who played piano, and she would play that for me all the time❤❤ when I was a little .I would feel so special.. Thank you for bringing up that wonderful memory.❤❤❤❤
Excellent thanks very much. I needed yhis reminder 😮😅
Ate a couple Justin’s mini peanut butter cups yesterday. Better tasting than a Reese’s. I feel ok about it. Walked around a store looking at all the power bars, Atkin candy, 5-ingredient bars… and just told myself…it no good for you so high in carbs and other weird stuff. Self affirmations. I have to think of how I feel right now.
I’m just glad I found out what was hurting my health! I limit the bad stuff, and quit drinking, because it’s not a form of entertainment, it’s poison. I loved chili, but I have no lose more weight, before trying it again, and see what happens. I celebrate birthdays, with a one inch square piece of cake 🎂, and sing happy birthday 🎉! I drink water, tea, and coffee, and some milk with heavy whipping cream, once in a while! I eat cabbage with onions and carrots, with my corn beef, because my wife lives with me, and we try to have meals together. I’ve lost 40 pounds, and am pretty satisfied with my current weight, and wardrobe. I ordered my first pair of “Mugsy” jeans 👖! They start at 44. I only ordered 1, because I am sure, my size will change! I’m accumulating a diverse set of sizes, but not in the 50’s. Gout is my motivation. Mobility is a right in there, also! I tell myself that food and drink are not entertainment, even if society thinks otherwise.
My jeans just arrived, and they are already loose! Love the jeans, because they fit perfectly!
Hello Bella.
I've been trying to get more carnivore lifestyle.
It has been 6 months. But it is not getting easier.
Ckuld it be tha I am allergic to BEEF?
Please make video about *ALPHA-GAL*
I am eating beef… eggs… tallow… butter. and every once in a while bacon.
AND coffee… I’m addicted… I really thought 💭 could quit coffee… ☕️ it makes me feel weak…
Yesterday was my birthday. But I haven't talked about carnivore. My son bought me a bunch of chocolate, and my daughter went to trader Joe's and bought tons of " good for you munchies" mostly carbs. I don't feel guilty but I have noticed how sugary sweets are. So I am thinking as long as I don't open the bags, I should be okay. Or maybe a trip to the food pantry for delivery. Will see.
Great video, just what I needed to hear. Thanks again.
You’re such a amazing young woman with so much talent and passion for what you do🎹🎼
I have been looking at your videos and you’re so lovely🤗so inspiring when you played that beautiful piano.
I just don’t understand how you can consume so much meat 🥩 at ones.
I’m glad you’re in this journey and helping so many people who really need to change her life style and become healthier.
I’m amazed how you can eat all that protein at each meal and all those eggs. I love that you consume all the high fat but I wonder if you’re looking into your glucose levels every time you eat a meal.
It’s to much protein and that’s dangerous bcz to much protein levels in your body can be problematic.
Look at Franco he’s a famous You RUclips videos in the past and he got sick from consuming to much protein he was having problems with to much iron overload in his body.
I hope you stay healthy🙏but me as Ketogenic lifestyle I can’t consume all that protein at ones. I definitely can’t imagine me eating so much protein my body would not aloud me to digest all that protein without getting sick.
Respectfully I’m happy for you though I know you’re trying to help others genuinely but definitely to much protein at ones.
This is why at parties, birthdays and festivities I quit carnivore for a while. Basically at Chrismas, Easter, Saint John, Halloween and family meetings I just quit. I can't be around all that people and all that food, not eat it and not feel bad. It's like if I'm overrestrictive I end up binging. Eating in front of others was such a shameful thing to do and being able to "eat whaterver" with others now is such a relief. Maybe is just temporary in my healing journey, but for now it works.
🎶🎶The Entertainer 🎶🎶🎶 love it.
in my first 3 months I had like 4-5 days where I had 1kg of ice cream a day. I felt bad but I just go on with carnivore anyway without stressing too much. Later I stopped the raw milk too. Now in 7 months carnivore I am as clean as I can be. Now knowing how bad my body felt having that ice cream I have no longer any desire for short enjoyment and longer unwell feeling. No cravings anymroe.
Wow! Reading these comments makes me happy I’ve never craved sweets. The only problem I’m having is all the hidden carbs in everything. Only way is to prepare your own food and if you don’t, read every single label for macros and ingredients.
