@@kitten_offical1278 Keep carbs to a minimum, make protein the focus of your plate and hit your protein goal each day and moderate fat down a bit. Just follow the macros at the above link (and make sure to read the notes at the top).
Thank you ! I just started a program with my work insurance which told me to only eat 12 grams of protein and 30 grams of carbs and I just did your calculator and it says 90 protein and 20 carbs. I was like 12 that can’t be right. So this explains this better.
I’m so glad I watched this again. It’s taken several times watching to finally drown out all of the other voices. This is gold. It makes so much sense. I’ve wasted a year waiting to lose weight on high fat low protein keto/carnivore. I should have listened to my common sense and videos like this. Thank you so much. Your books have been a lifeline, I just wish I had followed the macros! ❤
And then there is me, and all those like me. 7 months very high fat (80/20) clean beefy carnivore. Lost 42 pounds and now gealthy BMI for first time in 24 years! Maintaining weight is easy. Feel good mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Have healed numerous serious health issues, put autoimmune in remission, feel amazing. Well enough now to join the gym and start working on strength stability and flexibility. BOTH sides of this debate are right some of the times and in specific situations. I do not expect to be high fat forever. The only med I have left (!!!) Is the lowest dose of armour thyroid. Good fat is very helpful in restoring hormones and a host of other health issues. My health was always far more important than my weight. Yet I am now a terrific BMI. I am watching this because I am ready to cycle in some low fat high protein days when going to the gym. Eating keto/carnivore really should be viewed a spectrum, or even better to me...a toolbox. Because I haven't made one "professional" or influencer my "guru" I pay attention, and have a notebook filled with, ALL of the strategies they have had success with. None of these people are MY doctors, or yours. They do not know YOUR body/health issues, exactly what you are eating etc. Based on my experiments so far, I believe there is no ONE WAY to be keto/carnivore even for me! I am glad I am not stuck in a tiny restrictive way of eating. I am glad to have so many metabolic "shake up" strategies to keep my body in good health. I am glad I know that should I get a cancer diagnosis or show signs of dementia I will have myself in therapeutic ketosis PDQ. I have a health toolbox now, and I am grateful for the different "experts" sharing.
I had to reverse my keto and carnivore diet believes, so I have seen all your content 3 times: the first time I didn't believed it, as if I was fat-brainwashed, the second time the light switch went of and now the 3th time it sticks even better (I know I'm getting old...). Everything makes science now why I didn't loose weight. THANK YOU and a BIG HUG for you and your family.
I love this comment! Fat- brainwashed - a new concept that really hit home with me, and at the same time made me laugh! 😅 I'm getting older too, and this is my 3rd listen too (I think, lol). I'm re-listening after Craig's talk at one of the conferences was recently posted. Really good stuff 👏
If you're fat, don't eat more fat. It's what general wisdom has been saying all along. Keto wants you to eat more fat to keep you satiated so you don't snack and eat too much. It's cutting out the carbs (eating less fruit, vegetables) that's the problem. I've been using more fat (butter) to eat less between meals and late evening, but I'm now not losing any more weight so I'm going to follow this now.
I wouldn’t say it doesn’t work. It’s worked for thousands of people. Adding more fat doesn’t always make you fat. Look at the stories of people who it helps. Just because one thing works for one person doesn’t mean that it works for another. High fat, moderate protein or high protein, moderate fat.

You are both very good teachers, but I would really love it if you would use a whiteboard to explain some of these processes. Craig is using his hands to illustrate a lot, but it's not as clear as seeing it on a whiteboard. It helps us visual learners to be able to copy things down. That is one advantage of Dr. Berg, and Sten Eckberg.
Sometimes I will use my own notebook or whiteboard to take notes as I'm listening~ either written words or visual cues, such as the 'bubble chart' method learned in essay writing or even simple graphics. Everyone learns differently, & translating the information being offered is often of personal benefit. We might consider that not everyone is comfortable or adept at teaching in the same ways we might prefer to learn, which is when it's helpful for the learner to adapt the opportunity. =)
This is really finally starting to click for me! My mind is a little blown right now. You guys are a wealth of info. I wish I'd dug a little deeper into the "eat more fat" myth back when I first started getting disenchanted with keto and realized that to keep losing weight I needed to increase protein and decrease fat. Not even having what I needed to burn fat because I was going too low on protein never even occurred to me before.
So much amazing information here. I will have to listen to it again to grasp more of the details. Craig does so well explaining the science side of things. I love all your books I have and just got my PSMF book last week. Looking forward to implementing that more too. Thank you for all you both do...for us!
I think I just watched the most important video of my keto/carnivore journey. Now I kind of start understanding all the weight loss plateaus and raised blood glucose in the morning. As I followed what you're saying more and more thing just clicked in place. All this just seems to make so much sense. I feel so excited thanks for sharing all this!
After being carnivore for 6 months after a diagnosis of insulin resistant, I get it! (I think). Im 74 years old female. I’m also now 105 pounds. Lost 20 pounds. Went zero carb. Med protein. Med fat. No calorie counting. After using your macro formula, I was very close to recommended numbers. That was a fluke cause I simply couldn’t eat the amt of protein and fat that carnivore demanded so I cut them back drastically. Now I will keep to the protein grams of the calculator, not go over the fat grams, stay no more than 20 carbs in the form of veg/salad not grain/junk, and do more exercise. My hair was thinning and falling b4 I ever went carnivore but now it’s worse. I will take electrolytes hoping low sodium was the problem. Am I on the right track? 🤞 And hardest cut back on my 2 cups of coffee. Excellent presentation. Very clear. Easy to understand now. ❤
You two have so much knowledge on the body it’s wonderful to hear someone sharing their knowledge for our benefit. I wish I could have you both whispering in my ear telling me when and what to eat! Thank you Maria and Craig!
Diagnosed with TYPE ii almost five years ago after being in the hospital for a cardiac event. This is the best informational I have ever heard! I have been doing the wrong things!! Not getting good info from my physicians on how to make proper adjustments. Pretty much on my own. It has been an anxiety-filled struggle! I know how to make corrections, now, and not panic when my glucose is a bit higher at times. THANK YOU for this!!!
I love when you both teach...Maria and Craig are so clear and concise...I never understood insulin resistanse until listening to your lectures...thank you both so much....GOD bless❤
Wow!!!! You have been teaching me for 12 years now! I love learning from you both! I love watching myself heal after doing exactly what you say. I am the evidence that you're absolutely correct in the science. I especially love the weight lifting science info because my hubby & I have been doing that over a year now & have been amazed at the results & the better autophagy! We stopped long term fasting years ago too! We still do 16-18 hour fasts after dinner. Thank you so very much for giving of your time researching & teaching! It is very much appreciated! You are both loved tremendously!! (Your sweet boys too, of course!❤️) ☺️
So glad to have found you folks! I knew high fat keto didn't make sense. Thank you both so much! I did your psmf calculator. Thank you for that also. Lol I'm not sure I can consume that much protein but look forward to trying. I know you have just changed my life, my journey for the better. Keto helped me lose 69 pounds with struggles, plateaus and muscle loss over several years. Your plan makes sense to my very bones. I 'm so excited. ❤
That was absolutely the most comprehensive and understandable explanation of what this mystery thing called "Insulin Resistance" is. Yes, I did get lost at some of the terms; but I did get a good understanding of what this thing is. I will rewatch several times. I have subscribed and am so glad YT recommended your video. Thank you so much for this video!
They way y'all explain this makes a lot of sense- easier to understand than a lot of other science explanation videos! And imagine you did it without fancy visuals!
I am new to this Keto lifestyle. Fifteen years ago I learned of the ketogenic diet as my son who was 11 at the time started having seizures. I considered the diet for him but ended up going with medications to control his seizures. I have realized that I am insulinate resistant and have realized my need to go on a strict healthy ketogenic diet. I have sooooo much to learn!! !!Thank you for helping me learn more of what I need to know
Been doing keto for a few months - good results so far but have hit a plateua - now realise I've been making a fundamental mistake - too much fat! Well done and thank you for the advice
Yeah that's been confusing me for a while. If I have so much fat to burn, why am I still eating high fat? The answer I kept getting was "it's until your body learns to use fat as fuel." I'd think... but I have an abundant store of fat it can practice on. 😁
I had the same issue on Keto. I lost at the beginning but after that progress was slow. It wasn't until I started serious fasts(3wks no food, snake diet) that I started to see results. But that length of fasting buggered up my thyroid and I ended up really cold, and still fat. I think protein and low carb veg with a pinch of fat is the sweet spot when you have body fat to burn.
This was an excellent explanation of what goes on in the body. Craig did such a great job at bringing this complicated information down to an understandable level. Thank you both!!!
I was slim my whole life until after I gave birth, I developed thyroid issues.. I lost all the weight very quickly, eating 1.5-2 lbs of ground beef per day! I was taking cytomel for hashimtotos thyroiditis. I’m wondering if I could have reached the same weight without thyroid hormone. The beef was 85/15. I’ve thought about going 90/10 recently. This totally explains why I do so much better with higher protein and less fat!
This makes so much more sense and I'm really glad to hear it as I don't have a gallbladder and all this fat is very hard to digest without feeling sick. Thank you for explaining everything so well, really glad I found this channel.
I've had the exact same problems for the past 2 years that I've been doing keto (without lasting weight loss). No gallbladder with 150 pounds to lose, everyone recommending more fat, and me feeling sick most of the time 😩
Thank you very much Maria & Craig for sharing this awesome knowledge !!! It was rich and very informative-teaching, loved it ❤️ very worth sharing with my keto friend’s that think I eat too much protein. I want to have your books and my hubby gave me one pre-birthday and I have your CARNIVORE e-BOOK and I love it all, so great and delicious recipes, highly recommended. Best to you guys and your awesome kids !!! Be well and thanks again !!! Cheers from Montreal...
I am 69 have been a D for a very long time I am 121lbs and 5ft 2 I have always been skinny but I know I have lost a lot of muscle my legs are so thin I have never taken meds they terrify me so I have used diet to keep my b/s down not very successfully in the later days but for years I was fine but for some reason I seem to have lost control I have downloaded the calculator and am going to order your book and give it a go. I must say no one has ever explained to me the way that you both have it has made sense after years of ignorance thank you so much you have made an old lady feel like there are people that really care. x
The information you share and your The Art of Fat Loss cookbook have been game changers for me! So grateful! I can’t wait for your next cookbook for kids. Really need help with this. Thank you!
Maria, I just want to tell you how much I have learned from you. I just tried the egg pudding and It’s sooo delicious. I Just ordered one of your cook books. I’m going to start collecting them.
This was extremely helpful! I will watch again. Need more information. I'm seeing the mistakes I've been making on this journey to health. Thank you so much!
Dear Maria and Craig, thank you very much for another very informative video. I am a living example that your approach to Keto is the correct one if weight loss is a goal. I started incorporate your approach and weight just melted away 😊 apart from that I am feeling much better and energetic eating higher protein . High fat only made me feel lethargic and gain weight. So once again thank you so much for everything you are doing ❤
Thank you so much for all this information. Yeah, I'll definitely be watching the video again and taking notes, but already starting to understand what I'd been doing wasn't quite right. I'm starting to get it and excited about it.
It's finally good to see that these people on this channel know what the hell their talking about. Not everyone who is overweight is insulin resistant. They just eat to much. Why would you go on a high fat keto diet when you have well over enough body fat to burn off? Excellent channel.
An excellent presentation which has helped me so much. I tried keto a few years ago and followed people suggesting bullet proof coffee, fat bombs, egg fast and extended fasting. I stuck to it for two months and never lost an inch… no wonder 😜 I’m back again on my doctors orders ( type twice diabetic) and listening to as many of your videos as I can. Thank you 🙏
Our book Keto is great for getting started and understanding this lifestyle. amzn.to/2OkqIBE If you want to dive right in with recipes and meal plans, our Cleanse book is great! amzn.to/2JVi8WE 😊
Yeah, Craig nerded out on this one!😆 You can see that he truly loves to study this stuff. Overall, lots of really good information. I zoned out on parts that were a little too in depth for me but I still learned a lot!
Really appreciate all your work on this topic. I've been doing carnivore for 2 months and although I've gotten a lot of beautiful body recomposition, the scale is really slow. I'm now trying this PSMF, and I'm really excited to see how it works. 😊
Maria, I just found you when looking for a solution for hives due to high histamine. This makes so much sense. Keto has never worked for me and I'm wondering if this is why. I look forward to checking out your site.
The high fat thing never really made sense to me. I was recently in a ketovore/carnivore FB group that was always tell people to eat like 80-90% fat, to the point where they were starting to sound cultish. They also completely ignored the laws of thermodynamics and TDEE rule. So many post about how a someone had been on the diet for years with no WL and they were told to eat more fat and not track intake. This is something I have see not just in that group but in the keto/ketovore/carnivore crowd in general, and it really is a disservice to people who have really struggling to drop body fat. Thank you for this video! ❤
Thank you. This is so helpful. I'm insulin resistant . Keto alone I dropped weight but lost a lot of muscle. My skin is so saggy it doesn't look good. Since started PSMF I think it's helping. I do light weights to help build my muscle back up.
I am beyond grateful to have found you two! I have been wanting this explanation & information for months. I am one of those led astray by Dr. Bright’s recommendation to increase butter. My fat cells have been loving this and now I have more fat around my middle & thighs than ever before 😡
Richard,.thanks Maria, and Craig,.for explaining the science behind insulin resistance on my Carnivor Diet journey thanks for keeping it real,!!! to my health and wellbeing info.much appreciate you both.take care,stay safe,great video.🙂👍
wow! Thank you Maria and Craig for this!! I love how you share the information for fuelling safely and doing keto safely! I'm not behind water fasts either because I'm active... so this information is so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you! I finally understand why my fasting blood sugars are high on keto. Also understand more regarding protein and fat! Thank you for your time and expertise!
It's very obvious you two are here to help. I love it. thank you. A suggestion would be to have a friendly discussion debate say with Dr. Boz or one of paleoketogenic folks from Hungary. It would be fascinating to witness that discussion. Best to you both.
Thank you so much for this explanation! I've been struggling for so long and understanding this info really helps. This has given me renewed hope. Am definitely sharing! 🙏
This video is SO packed full of information. I listen to this over and over. I’m the 113lbs who had so many TTD signs. Then I got pregnant and was just a few “points” from Gestational diabetes !!!!! Just Crazy. Thank you both. ❤❤
I have totally agreed with everything you both have said clean carnivore bulked but but lost no fat with ribeyes and bacon ect the more I watch the more I understand looking forward to buying your cookbooks 👍🏼
A Sheryl Crow and Moby collaboration? I'm in! 😊 Aside from my joke, this explanation is the best I've ever heard for insulin resistance. #Gluconeogenesis
You are both great. I’m the lean person your taking about… I am taking my health very serious at this point. Since the age of 25 I have been on medications for high blood pressure and never understood what to do except take the drugs prescribed like a robot. I’m taking about 20 supplements in capsule form and 2 in liquid form to help myself and of course eating keto. I am still going through trial and error but I know I’m on the right path. So I’m going to take your advice and increase my muscle. I can say my hair has been falling out over the past 8 years and since adding the right supplements it’s growing like crazy. I an happy to have found you. Thank you for the information…factual information that others need to hear about!!!
So informative. I have adopted the PSMF days instead of extended fasts and am having great results. Just had comprehensive blood work done and I am blown away by the improvements!
This is so different than what I have been doing. I feel like I’m never going to get it right. Just so much different info out there and I can’t figure out what to follow.
@@MariaEmmerich message is really not clear. So, is eating too much fat stopping fat loss? Eating too much protein stopping fat loss? Is fasting too long stopping fat loss? Again, what to do to be more insulin sensitive?
Wow you two have Great Teamwork! You are both Brilliant! Wish i had either of you as my teacher in High school or College! I Love all your videos and was fasting and now will focus on PSMF days! Thank you for sharing all your information!
Mahalo for the explanation on morning glucose levels. I had never heard it explained like that before and it makes so much sense. It’s just further proof that I am on the right path. I have much fat to lose and it is really stubborn (I’ve gained and lost and gained even more over 23 years) so I know it will take some time.
This is so very helpful. I’ve been frustrated because I can’t seem to be able to get my Glucose under 100. I did a 84-hr water fast last week and got my Glucose done to 80’s and finally down to 6073, but once I started eating Keto & PSMF, my Insulin is back to 143 today. I went on You Tube to try to get answers and watched this video. I think I know now what direction to go. I am a 69 yr old female and am 230 lbs. (My highest was 287) My goal is 160 for now. I have such a hard time losing and now I understand the main reason why. My sister is around 340 lbs (3 years older than I) and her Glucose stays around 85. I haven’t understood how this can be when she is around 100 lbs more than I. She is so resistant to weight loss, as well. She gets so discouraged as to what to do to lose the weight. I try so hard DAILY to study & search to find the answer for us both.
Everybody has a different body so the same plan doesn't work for everybody. One obvious thing is that it is not sustainable to go in extended fasts as the main way to lose weight because you are going to gain it all back when you start to eat again. It's better to follow a program that would be sustainable on the long term. Since fasts seem to work for you, try maintaining just a narrow eating window daily, no more than 6 hours. Then make a conscious effort to do at least 10000 steps a day. Also add strength training, particularly during your PSMF days. You can start with something as simple as using an exercise bike that has resistance bands so you have to make more of an effort to pedal and are building muscle mass. You can also follow videos in which exercises are done with resistance bands. You don't need to work out like a maniac because you don't want to injure yourself
Same thing happened to me. fasting for 24 hr+ is the only way to bring down my number to 70s-80s on keto. Your BG shot up even with PSMF? You can't be fasting all the time to bring down BG. what is the new direction you are taking?
I'm having to come to terms with how strong the insulin resistance is in my body. Hard to hear/read comments of people concerned that their glucose is in the 90s in the morning and I have to water fast 4 days to get to 104. I'm active and have switched to high fat carnivore. Going to switch up again now because even doing that lowest bg in the morning got to 117. Trying to have more patience with myself but it's been 2yrs now and I just want to reach my goal.

The idea of more fat is just the first week to get fat adapted then cut back on fat and add more protein
I wouldn’t say it doesn’t work. It’s worked for thousands of people. Adding more fat doesn’t always make you fat. Look at the stories of people who it helps. Just because one thing works for one person doesn’t mean that it works for another. High fat, moderate protein or high protein, moderate fat.

Thank you!!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Diagnosed with TYPE ii almost five years ago after being in the hospital for a cardiac event. This is the best informational I have ever heard! I have been doing the wrong things!! Not getting good info from my physicians on how to make proper adjustments. Pretty much on my own. It has been an anxiety-filled struggle! I know how to make corrections, now, and not panic when my glucose is a bit higher at times. THANK YOU for this!!!
Thanks! I am glad it helped. :)
I love when you both teach...Maria and Craig are so clear and concise...I never understood insulin resistanse until listening to your lectures...thank you both so much....GOD bless❤
Its the belly fat that I've gained since being insulin resistant
Lower carbs and fats
Me, too...massive belly fat...key biomarker of Metabolic Syndrome. I'm on a Keto/Carnivore diet and working on the belly fat reduction.
We help with that all the time. Just use our macro calculator to get started. :)
I took Chemistry last semester in college and understand everything you guys are explain LOL!!! You know your stuff!!!! :-)
Happy to help! :)
Wow!!!! You have been teaching me for 12 years now! I love learning from you both! I love watching myself heal after doing exactly what you say. I am the evidence that you're absolutely correct in the science. I especially love the weight lifting science info because my hubby & I have been doing that over a year now & have been amazed at the results & the better autophagy! We stopped long term fasting years ago too! We still do 16-18 hour fasts after dinner. Thank you so very much for giving of your time researching & teaching! It is very much appreciated! You are both loved tremendously!! (Your sweet boys too, of course!❤️) ☺️
Thank you so much! 💖💖💖💖💖
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. Encouraging and helpful to hear ppls stories of what works and how to get past plateaus. We forget she much too soon.
So 16 to 18 hour fast after dinner is good?
So glad to have found you folks! I knew high fat keto didn't make sense. Thank you both so much! I did your psmf calculator. Thank you for that also. Lol I'm not sure I can consume that much protein but look forward to trying. I know you have just changed my life, my journey for the better. Keto helped me lose 69 pounds with struggles, plateaus and muscle loss over several years. Your plan makes sense to my very bones. I 'm so excited. ❤
Thanks for watching!
Out of all keto community you both the 1st to make scientific sense. I'm home I have a place I can trust.thank you both for this.
Our pleasure!
That was absolutely the most comprehensive and understandable explanation of what this mystery thing called "Insulin Resistance" is. Yes, I did get lost at some of the terms; but I did get a good understanding of what this thing is. I will rewatch several times.
I have subscribed and am so glad YT recommended your video.
Thank you so much for this video!
You are so welcome, Linda!
@@MariaEmmerichYou both are amazing without mincing words. I learnt a lot. Thanks!
They way y'all explain this makes a lot of sense- easier to understand than a lot of other science explanation videos! And imagine you did it without fancy visuals!
Thank you for watching!!
I am new to this Keto lifestyle. Fifteen years ago I learned of the ketogenic diet as my son who was 11 at the time started having seizures. I considered the diet for him but ended up going with medications to control his seizures. I have realized that I am insulinate resistant and have realized my need to go on a strict healthy ketogenic diet. I have sooooo much to learn!! !!Thank you for helping me learn more of what I need to know
Awesome! Glad this helped. :)
Been doing keto for a few months - good results so far but have hit a plateua - now realise I've been making a fundamental mistake - too much fat! Well done and thank you for the advice
Awesome! :)
Yeah that's been confusing me for a while. If I have so much fat to burn, why am I still eating high fat? The answer I kept getting was "it's until your body learns to use fat as fuel." I'd think... but I have an abundant store of fat it can practice on. 😁
I had the same issue on Keto. I lost at the beginning but after that progress was slow. It wasn't until I started serious fasts(3wks no food, snake diet) that I started to see results. But that length of fasting buggered up my thyroid and I ended up really cold, and still fat. I think protein and low carb veg with a pinch of fat is the sweet spot when you have body fat to burn.
@@ConnieWobbles snake diet? I've not come across that one. What is it?
@@josephannett3471 Complete BS. Please don't follow that nonsense. :)
Great explanation!!!! Of course I know this from your excellent keto coaching program! Keep up the excellent videos!!!
Thank you!!
This was an excellent explanation of what goes on in the body. Craig did such a great job at bringing this complicated information down to an understandable level. Thank you both!!!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks!
Love the education in this video... going to rewatch, keep them coming! Thanks so much!
Awesome, thank you! :)
Wonderful explanation, as always !!! Easy to follow and really breaks it all down. Thank you !
Glad you liked it! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
This is so critically important - thank you for sharing it! I'm going to have to listen again, but it just makes so much sense (PMSF)!
Glad it was helpful! :)
I've listened to this three times now. Just to let it sink in. Good stuff.
Thanks!
Thank You! I can NOT fast anymore. Its too hard. My life is hectic. PSMF has saved the day! God Bless from MN
Thank you so much for helping diabetics with this information. I agreed with everything you are saying. Really once again thanks a million!
🗣🗣🗣Why aren’t all doctors this thorough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????? Thank y’all! 🙌🏾🙏🏾💛
❤😍❤
I was slim my whole life until after I gave birth, I developed thyroid issues.. I lost all the weight very quickly, eating 1.5-2 lbs of ground beef per day! I was taking cytomel for hashimtotos thyroiditis. I’m wondering if I could have reached the same weight without thyroid hormone. The beef was 85/15. I’ve thought about going 90/10 recently. This totally explains why I do so much better with higher protein and less fat!
I’ve only just found you..... thank god! The way you explain is so easy to understand. Brilliant
Awesome! Thank you! :)
I appreciate both of you and your time you share with us teaching.
Our pleasure! :)
This makes so much more sense and I'm really glad to hear it as I don't have a gallbladder and all this fat is very hard to digest without feeling sick. Thank you for explaining everything so well, really glad I found this channel.
Thanks!!
I've had the exact same problems for the past 2 years that I've been doing keto (without lasting weight loss). No gallbladder with 150 pounds to lose, everyone recommending more fat, and me feeling sick most of the time 😩
I agree I cannot eat loads of fat, I suffer from GERD and a hiatus hernia, and fat just aggravates the acid reflux.
Thank you very much Maria & Craig for sharing this awesome knowledge !!! It was rich and very informative-teaching, loved it ❤️ very worth sharing with my keto friend’s that think I eat too much protein. I want to have your books and my hubby gave me one pre-birthday and I have your CARNIVORE e-BOOK and I love it all, so great and delicious recipes, highly recommended. Best to you guys and your awesome kids !!! Be well and thanks again !!! Cheers from Montreal...
Our pleasure! 💖💖💖💖💖
This makes so much sense!! Thank you. 🙏
I am 69 have been a D for a very long time I am 121lbs and 5ft 2 I have always been skinny but I know I have lost a lot of muscle my legs are so thin I have never taken meds they terrify me so I have used diet to keep my b/s down not very successfully in the later days but for years I was fine but for some reason I seem to have lost control I have downloaded the calculator and am going to order your book and give it a go. I must say no one has ever explained to me the way that you both have it has made sense after years of ignorance thank you so much you have made an old lady feel like there are people that really care. x
Thank you! I am glad you found it beneficial. :)
Such great information! Thank you 😊
You are so welcome! 😊
The information you share and your The Art of Fat Loss cookbook have been game changers for me! So grateful! I can’t wait for your next cookbook for kids. Really need help with this. Thank you!
Thanks!
Where did you get it? I looked on Amazon.
You can find it here: keto-adapted.com/product/the-art-of-fat-loss/ 💖💖💖💖
I’ve been doing it wrong! Starting to actually understand the science now. Thank you so much!
Wonderful! :)
I'm so thankful to have found you guys! Thanks so very much ❤️
Our pleasure! :)
Maria, I just want to tell you how much I have learned from you. I just tried the egg pudding and It’s sooo delicious. I Just ordered one of your cook books. I’m going to start collecting them.
Thanks!
Excellent explanation...and Ive watched Dr Eric Berg, the declathon dude and many more. Theyre all good, but you Sir, are the Gold Standard!!
Wow, thanks! :)
This was extremely helpful! I will watch again. Need more information. I'm seeing the mistakes I've been making on this journey to health. Thank you so much!
I'm glad this helps :)
Brilliant, thankx. Headed over to find my macros
PLUS, love seeing the relationship between you
Awesome! Thank you! :)
Dear Maria and Craig, thank you very much for another very informative video. I am a living example that your approach to Keto is the correct one if weight loss is a goal. I started incorporate your approach and weight just melted away 😊 apart from that I am feeling much better and energetic eating higher protein . High fat only made me feel lethargic and gain weight. So once again thank you so much for everything you are doing ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Edyta, I was doing the same thing and eating too much fat. Instead of burning my body fat, I was burning dietary fat.
Such a great video and easy to understand
Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for all this information. Yeah, I'll definitely be watching the video again and taking notes, but already starting to understand what I'd been doing wasn't quite right. I'm starting to get it and excited about it.
You're welcome! Glad we could help :)
Such an awesome video...its a video I come back to regularly to keep my mind sharp!!! Thank you Craig for all your expertise and knowledge!
Awesome, thank you!
It's finally good to see that these people on this channel know what the hell their talking about. Not everyone who is overweight is insulin resistant. They just eat to much. Why would you go on a high fat keto diet when you have well over enough body fat to burn off? Excellent channel.
Thank you! 😊
Craig is a great teacher!!
Thanks!!
This was so good!! Learned so much in this short video.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you so much for this explanation! I was about to start an extended fast but will now look into psmf instead! :)
Great!
An excellent presentation which has helped me so much. I tried keto a few years ago and followed people suggesting bullet proof coffee, fat bombs, egg fast and extended fasting. I stuck to it for two months and never lost an inch… no wonder 😜 I’m back again on my doctors orders ( type twice diabetic) and listening to as many of your videos as I can. Thank you 🙏
Awesome! :)
Even if you eat a ketogenic diet, calories still matter.
Im type2 diabetes, clueless about keto. I try be open minded on new ideas. Thank U both for encouragement.
Our book Keto is great for getting started and understanding this lifestyle. amzn.to/2OkqIBE
If you want to dive right in with recipes and meal plans, our Cleanse book is great! amzn.to/2JVi8WE 😊
Teresa you can and will cure yourself without medicine if you just stop eating carbs. It really is that easy and I wish you the best of luck.
Thanks for this good explaination. Kind Regards from Germany
Thank you 🙏 for explaining this you all are such a blessing to so many people
Thanks for watching! :)
Yeah, Craig nerded out on this one!😆 You can see that he truly loves to study this stuff. Overall, lots of really good information. I zoned out on parts that were a little too in depth for me but I still learned a lot!
Awesome!! Thanks! :)
Really appreciate all your work on this topic. I've been doing carnivore for 2 months and although I've gotten a lot of beautiful body recomposition, the scale is really slow. I'm now trying this PSMF, and I'm really excited to see how it works. 😊
Way to go!
what is PSMF?
@@lisabeautyskindeep protein sparing modified fast
@@mycupoverflows7811 how do you do it?
Very we’ll explained thank you!
I like that explanation. Thanks for the way you make it understandable.
You are welcome! 😊
Maria, I just found you when looking for a solution for hives due to high histamine. This makes so much sense. Keto has never worked for me and I'm wondering if this is why. I look forward to checking out your site.
The high fat thing never really made sense to me. I was recently in a ketovore/carnivore FB group that was always tell people to eat like 80-90% fat, to the point where they were starting to sound cultish. They also completely ignored the laws of thermodynamics and TDEE rule. So many post about how a someone had been on the diet for years with no WL and they were told to eat more fat and not track intake. This is something I have see not just in that group but in the keto/ketovore/carnivore crowd in general, and it really is a disservice to people who have really struggling to drop body fat.
Thank you for this video! ❤
I’m so glad you found it helpful ❤️
This’s a great explanation, thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world 💕
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, this is great information. I will implement this along with my fitness routine.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. This is so helpful. I'm insulin resistant . Keto alone I dropped weight but lost a lot of muscle. My skin is so saggy it doesn't look good. Since started PSMF I think it's helping. I do light weights to help build my muscle back up.
Thank you! We are glad that you're getting healthier!
I am beyond grateful to have found you two! I have been wanting this explanation & information for months. I am one of those led astray by Dr. Bright’s recommendation to increase butter. My fat cells have been loving this and now I have more fat around my middle & thighs than ever before 😡
Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately, people with low personal fat threshold are being hurt by that kind of advise. :(
I really enjoyed this video. You all explained glucose resistance in a way that I can understand.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Richard,.thanks Maria, and Craig,.for explaining the science behind insulin resistance on my Carnivor Diet journey thanks for keeping it real,!!! to my health and wellbeing info.much appreciate you both.take care,stay safe,great video.🙂👍
So glad it has helped!! Thank you! :)
wow! Thank you Maria and Craig for this!! I love how you share the information for fuelling safely and doing keto safely! I'm not behind water fasts either because I'm active... so this information is so helpful! Thank you!
What do you drink then?
Thank you! I finally understand why my fasting blood sugars are high on keto. Also understand more regarding protein and fat! Thank you for your time and expertise!
Your welcome! 😊
Thank you very VERY much guys for this great video!
Thank you! :)
It's very obvious you two are here to help. I love it. thank you. A suggestion would be to have a friendly discussion debate say with Dr. Boz or one of paleoketogenic folks from Hungary. It would be fascinating to witness that discussion. Best to you both.
Thank you! :)
Thank you so much for this explanation! I've been struggling for so long and understanding this info really helps. This has given me renewed hope. Am definitely sharing! 🙏
Thank you!!
This video is SO packed full of information. I listen to this over and over. I’m the 113lbs who had so many TTD signs. Then I got pregnant and was just a few “points” from Gestational diabetes !!!!! Just Crazy. Thank you both. ❤❤
Thanks!
Wow great job guys! 👏👏👏
Thanks!
This was very helpful!
Thank You 🌸

Everyone everywhere needs to hear this
Thank you so much!!
EXCELLENT explanation!!!
Glad it was helpful! :)
Thank you so much! I thought I was doing something wrong
Thanks!
I know I’ve said this before...But Craig is a really really really awesome explainer-teacher!!
Thank you so much!
Explainer-teacher is a great title for Craig!!
@@ravenswoods177 thank you!!
I have totally agreed with everything you both have said clean carnivore bulked but but lost no fat with ribeyes and bacon ect the more I watch the more I understand looking forward to buying your cookbooks 👍🏼
Thank you!!
This video , this information is priceless. Thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
A Sheryl Crow and Moby collaboration? I'm in! 😊
Aside from my joke, this explanation is the best I've ever heard for insulin resistance. #Gluconeogenesis
😆 thanks!
😂 Can't unsee it now lol
you could also watch the interview they did with ted naiman,.. he says it fabulously..
🤣🤣😊
i was laughing to myself at moby, but then i saw your comment :D, and had a good, hard, unoriginal laugh :D
My goal is to be healthy, weight loss is just a part of keto. That being said, I agree with the high protein idea. Thanks for this video.
Wonderful explanation!
Glad you think so! :)
You are both great. I’m the lean person your taking about… I am taking my health very serious at this point. Since the age of 25 I have been on medications for high blood pressure and never understood what to do except take the drugs prescribed like a robot. I’m taking about 20 supplements in capsule form and 2 in liquid form to help myself and of course eating keto. I am still going through trial and error but I know I’m on the right path. So I’m going to take your advice and increase my muscle. I can say my hair has been falling out over the past 8 years and since adding the right supplements it’s growing like crazy. I an happy to have found you. Thank you for the information…factual information that others need to hear about!!!
Thank you so much!! 😍
Have you been able to gain weight? What changes did you make?
Please tell me what supplements you are taking for your hair?🙏. I have the same issue.
So informative. I have adopted the PSMF days instead of extended fasts and am having great results. Just had comprehensive blood work done and I am blown away by the improvements!
Awesome!!
What does your diet routine look like in layman's terms?
This is so different than what I have been doing. I feel like I’m never going to get it right. Just so much different info out there and I can’t figure out what to follow.
@@jessicaking7968 we have been helping clients with keto for over 20 years. This is the right way to do it. :)
@@jessicaking7968I agree. I try to learn and it all seems to keep changing.
I think I just received the piece to the missing puzzle!!! Couldn’t lose weight.... was eating way too much fat! Thank you so much
YES!!! Your welcome! 😊
@@MariaEmmerich message is really not clear. So, is eating too much fat stopping fat loss? Eating too much protein stopping fat loss? Is fasting too long stopping fat loss? Again, what to do to be more insulin sensitive?
Reduce fats yes
Eating too much fat will slow fat loss. Eating more protein will help with fat loss if combined with lowering fat (protein is very satiating).
This is very interesting very happy I found you guys .
Thanks for watching!
Wow you two have Great Teamwork! You are both Brilliant! Wish i had either of you as my teacher in High school or College! I Love all your videos and was fasting and now will focus on PSMF days! Thank you for sharing all your information!
Wow, thank you! :)
Mahalo for the explanation on morning glucose levels. I had never heard it explained like that before and it makes so much sense. It’s just further proof that I am on the right path. I have much fat to lose and it is really stubborn (I’ve gained and lost and gained even more over 23 years) so I know it will take some time.
Good job! You got this! 💖💖💖💖
This is so very helpful. I’ve been frustrated because I can’t seem to be able to get my Glucose under 100. I did a 84-hr water fast last week and got my Glucose done to 80’s and finally down to 6073, but once I started eating Keto & PSMF, my Insulin is back to 143 today. I went on You Tube to try to get answers and watched this video. I think I know now what direction to go. I am a 69 yr old female and am 230 lbs. (My highest was 287) My goal is 160 for now. I have such a hard time losing and now I understand the main reason why. My sister is around 340 lbs (3 years older than I) and her Glucose stays around 85. I haven’t understood how this can be when she is around 100 lbs more than I. She is so resistant to weight loss, as well. She gets so discouraged as to what to do to lose the weight. I try so hard DAILY to study & search to find the answer for us both.
Glad to help! :)
Awesome!!
Everybody has a different body so the same plan doesn't work for everybody. One obvious thing is that it is not sustainable to go in extended fasts as the main way to lose weight because you are going to gain it all back when you start to eat again. It's better to follow a program that would be sustainable on the long term. Since fasts seem to work for you, try maintaining just a narrow eating window daily, no more than 6 hours. Then make a conscious effort to do at least 10000 steps a day. Also add strength training, particularly during your PSMF days. You can start with something as simple as using an exercise bike that has resistance bands so you have to make more of an effort to pedal and are building muscle mass. You can also follow videos in which exercises are done with resistance bands. You don't need to work out like a maniac because you don't want to injure yourself
Same thing happened to me. fasting for 24 hr+ is the only way to bring down my number to 70s-80s on keto. Your BG shot up even with PSMF? You can't be fasting all the time to bring down BG. what is the new direction you are taking?
I'm having to come to terms with how strong the insulin resistance is in my body. Hard to hear/read comments of people concerned that their glucose is in the 90s in the morning and I have to water fast 4 days to get to 104. I'm active and have switched to high fat carnivore. Going to switch up again now because even doing that lowest bg in the morning got to 117. Trying to have more patience with myself but it's been 2yrs now and I just want to reach my goal.
Hey Maria, thanks again for another great vid.
My pleasure! :)
