Not losing weight on Carnivore? Join The Ultimate 4-Week Fat Loss Course: academy.5minutebody.com/carnivore-fat-loss-masterclass-4-week-kick-starter?coupon=YT20
I actually need 100-120 grams of protein. When I would get only 60-80g of protein my periods stopped. I thought I was in menopause but my hormone lab tests said I was not in menopause. Once I went up to .8-1g per pound of body weight, my hormones normalized. I was actually in amenorrhea because my body said, oh, you are in starvation mode and we must stop your cycle. So when protein went to 100+ grams, my body started functioning normally again.
I was a vegetarian my whole life, from birth to age 29. I started carnivore 3.5 months ago. Benefits include: -Lost 32 pounds (187lb--> 155lb) -Sleeping significantly better -Way more energy -My skin is almost completely clear for the first time in a decade. -Healed my hunger and satiety cues -Very easy to adhere to, even during parties and eating out. There are always (delicious) options, even in a pinch. Carnivore diet is the best choice I ever made for my body and health!
I talked My vegetarian wife into going carnivore last November and she gained 10 lb. She was not happy about this and decided to try a different diet 2 months ago. Instantly got depressed and started having all sorts of pains in her body. She decided to go back onto carnivore in April and she claims she feels so much better, has dropped 10 lb and all her pain and her knee is gone. Just like your guest mentioned I think her body was healing at first
When you go carnivore, your body may need to gain weight initially, in order to nourish the body, because the body was suffering from lack of nutrients. So the body will gain weight before it finds a healthy equilibrium, before the body can level out to a normal weight.
Also depends on what food is being consumed. Highly processed foods and seed oils are absolutely the worst for us, but some people think any fat is "good" as long as they are low- carb and that they can eat all these processed keto-friendly products. Stick to real, whole food and low-carb lifestyle can work wonders 😊
I decided to finally go strict carnivore about 6 weeks ago and felt terrible a month into it, week yet continued to work out. Decided to add fat like everyone said and wow it's night and day difference. Not only do I feel strong again but I also feel less hungry. Anybody reading this listen when people say eat more fat it really does make a difference
I don't have a gallbladder and more fat makes me nauseated. Not sure how to get around it. Been keto since January. I'm down 25 lbs but have hit a plateau. Am Still 45 lbs overweight. Not sure how to go full carnivore (tried it for a month) but was hungry all the time as I could not put down enough fat.
I'm a 53 year old female and eat 3000+ calories of fatty meat, eggs and dripping/butter a day to maintain my weight! I LOVE this way of eating, I eat nose to tail and love cooking different cuts. I've just finished a big pile of lamb shanks and lamb neck slow cooked in home made bone broth that I reduced down at the end to a thick sauce that was absolutely divine. Anyone who says carnivore is boring isn't doing it right LOL!
@@itzakpoelzig330 LOL, funnily enough I do run a BnB (I overlook the sea on the east coast of NZ), the breakfast includes beef bacon and eggs from my free range chickens!!!
This is absolutely been my experience. It took months for my body to heal before any weight would come off. 5 months in now and feeling so much better and weight does start to come off. Healing our brain and body is the most important thing and this diet does just that. Nothing short of a miracle!
That has been my journey too. Low carb in june 2021, to Keto September2021, to Carnivore April 2022. Eating 1900 to 2100 calories. High fat to protein is the way to go. 220 to 145. Size 16 to size 6 in 18 months. I feel amazing. Its never too late, start today for your health.
I was so thrilled to see you interview Ketogenic Woman. Loved seeing my two favorite carnivore RUclipsrs together talking. Love both of your channels! I hope more people interview her. She doesn’t get the recognition she deserves..
I went into carnivore for the only intention of healing my body. I had Celiac disease for 34 years. Years of constant diarrhea, bloating, nausea along with fibromyalgia and CRPS, also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. A severe nerve, muscle and nerve disease. Causing chronic pain. I also suffered from Barrett's esophagus. I had burned up my esophagus as a result of CD and excessive use of Ibuprofen. I did go gluten free and dropped from 188 to 142. Gaining back to 155. I saw the carnivore diet for gut health health and started on February 6th of this year. 2 months later I am down to 122!!🎉 Most important my gut issues are gone!! I am letting my body heal. My gut, my hormones, and all that needs to be healed. No carbs and no sugars were gone because going GF in the beginning of 2021 made this very easy to slip into. One great change is the mental fog is completely gone!🎉. I know can sit in my other pain and really listen to my pain and understand what is going on. My meds have decreased but some I will have to continue to take. I'm feeling the inflammation reduce tremendously. We have to pay attention closely to our bodies. I'm 57 and this is a lifestyle for me. I so love all your videos and your energy. Thanks to your guest. And I am walking now as well!! Peace and Blessings to you all and to your partner 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The scientific explanation is provided by Dr. Jason Fung. Fat does not metabolize as Fat. Insulin tells your body to store fat, and the way you raise insulin is eating, carbs the most, protein second and fat does not tell your pancreas to send out insulin.
Anita has so many valuable tips and advice. I do enjoy the way she so kindly speaks about sensitive topics. I am 66 and can totally relate to the life of coming up with 3 wonderful square meals a day for me and my family. I'm still doing it a lot due to raising grandchildren. Though I eat so simple with meat, eggs, and some dairy, I've yet to completely get the rest of my family on board. This was a terrific video that I thoroughly enjoyed and find I am still picking up good advice after 28 months of animal based eating.
🌻🌿🐕🐾🍎🍀😎🐾🐕🌺 I've been on carnivore for 12 weeks. I lost 5 pounds slowly in 1st month (175 to 170) and nothing the last 2 months. I figured my 69 year old body was healing. so I stuck to meat, eggs, and a little dairy. I still put heavy cream and a bit of sweetener in my large a.m. coffee. Sadly, I still drink 8 to 10 ounces of coke zero daily (which doesn't cause cravings for sugary food). While listening to this video, I weighed myself. OMG I AM DOWN TO 167 POUNDS. Its a miracle. I am pleased. Yippee...Going for a walk with my dogs.
Dr Berry had a tip for weaning off of diet drinks which I used successfully. Start adding water and slowly increase the ratio. I suppose cutting them with sparkling water might work as well.
Thank you for this video. I'm 49 and starting menopause. I've been carnivore for 4 months and have weight to lose. Down 27 lbs and I think my hormones have been healing. I really can relate to so much that was said on this video. Have learned so much from you both, as well as the others you'd mentioned (Judy Cho, Elizabeth Bright and more) thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤
I do single day fat fasts, and they work well for me. Beyond 24 - 36 hours I don't feel "amazing" anymore. I am also lean already, so I think it's probably our bodies letting us know we don't need to just fat fast, but need some protein too. But one day fat fasts a few times a month make me feel really energized. I also do the 1 tbsp of butter right before bed and it makes me sleep like a baby. My cortisol got a little out of whack in menopause, and this took care of it.
Anita can explain things slowly and calmly and so authentically from her personal experience, and we can all benefit from her story and findings. Sleep cycles for me corrected first and this makes a big difference. Without good sleep healing can not be achieved. Hence a sleep deprived mothers life can be a main reason for weight issues. Be kind to oursleves according to the state in life and realistic too. Sleep and food choices and stress important elements that effect our health. Great chat ladies. Thank you
I had to come back and say thank you for such a fantastic and well appreciated interview.💙 I too am in my 60’s and postmenopausal, a most challenging time of life for women health wise, although not impossible to succeed. We have to work twice, if not more, as hard than any other to maintain optimal health. Although perimenopause is/was no “walk in the park” personally. Anita is a beautiful and wonderful source of inspiration, and epitomizes what true grit and strength ought to embody in the wisdom years. Anita walks the talk and has 100% earned the “Someone To Look Up To” badge IMO. Thank you both again🫶🏽
Before gastric bypass Jenn Craig had me down to 900 calories with no weight loss. Gastric bypass lost over 100 pounds and gall bladder and maintained that for over 10 years until menopause and I am now working on needing to lose 50 or so pounds. Going from keto to carnivore and seeing changes.
Just to add to that I will say eating this way has brought back that full feeling you are supposed to get from gastric bypass, so I am excited 😊 thank you both for all you do.
Yes I had gastric sleeve surgery and maintained for 10 years. Gained weight in covid lockdown. On carnivore now losing every week about 6 pounds per month. Agree about feeling full.
I appreciated all the wisdom that Anita shared today. One thing that I have noticed as I've been on my own keto/carnivore journey is that very little good information is provided for women over 65. What is workable for a 20, 30, 40, and 50 year old is not as workable at 71. Even the info provided by medical and nutritional experts we follow on RUclips etc, is geared toward a generalized younger demographic. I would love to see more information for healthy aging with a carnivore lifestyle.
My healing was hormonal. The first 90 days on carnivore ( after being stuck at the same weight/measurements for months while on keto) my menstrual cycle went into a frenzied overdrive. It had been incredibly heavy for years, but these healing months were 20x worse, plus additional weeks of breakthrough bleeding. Went to doc to determine if I had a fibroid, and thankfully not. I was pretty anemic after all that. Now that my body has healed and hormones adjusted, everything is GLORIOUS. If I had known it could be like this, I'd have gone carnivore JUST for the better menstrual cycles. Forget about the bonus weight loss.
OMG as a Canadian and a fan of you both I was so excited to see you together! You did such a great video thank you. Watch both your channels❤ a new carnivore for 2 months now after vegan for 4 years
THANK YOU! So glad to hear all of this info. I am 63 and post menopausal. Love carnivore and it has become my lifestyle and I fee great. I have lost 37 pounds and want to get off BP meds! Thanks to both of you for your honesty and desiring to live a healthy life overall!
Love Anita! So down to earth, so relateable…she has been there, done that and it is great to hear about her journey. She also does the research, follows a plan and documents all her results so well ❤️
What a great interview! I'm 68, and I've been through a lot of similar experiences. Thank you so much for your openness and willingness to share what you've been through.
Incredible her only symptom for menopause was stopping her cycle. Menopausal caused me all kinds of issues!! And I went through it early at 40 years old. It just shows the benefits of a proper human diet!! I am now on Thyroid, estrogen & progesterone to get me all straightened out. I’ve been on ketovore for 90 days to reset in hopes of dropping these stupid meds soon. And to lose weight once my body heals. This was helpful for me to give myself more permission for higher fat. Thank you!!!
Dr Bickman in his book Why we get Sick details how we need fat, the right kind of fats, with every meal to ensure nutrients are absorbed properly. He also mentions how fibre can inhibit the absorption of nutrients.
Since starting diet my blood sugars are stable and in low range all the time and thats unheard of for me as type 2 diabtetic and, that's weaned off all medications. My goal is to reverse diabetes completely and losse the tummy before menopause because uts known to add weight arround the middle for women. That would be terrible for my health if that happens. God willing this is the best advise and i can live like this and become healthy full time. Wishing everyone the best on this carnivore diet.😊
Anita is so refreshing & down to earth & a joy to watch & listen to. I love her channel too & find her recipes to be so tasty & nice to have. I loved cooking for my family before & it's nice to have other options sometime - even with carnivore. Thank you for having her on!😊
We need to understand that sometimes "I need more variety" is a manifestation of food-as-entertainment disordered eating. Just as some folks can be addicted to volume eating, others eat in response to stress or depression, it can be worth examining your beliefs around using food for pleasure/amusement/entertainment. If every meal has to titillate your palate or beckon you to the table, look more closely
Love Anita, fellow Canadian! :) I hope she's reading this comment, because I totally had the SAME experience regarding menopause. I'm 55 and had been keto (mostly meat) for those perimenopausal years and guess what? One day I had periods and 4 children and the next with menopause, my period stopped. That's it. No symptoms, no hormonal therapy. Notta. lol. And I wasn't a perfect keto follower either. I had the easiest time ever and I encourage women to consider keto and carnivore as the perfect human diet, which optomizes all aspects of our health, including hormonal health.
I have tried to lose weight on OMAD since 1987. Even no carb I couldn't lose at all. I finally tracked and found that on a good day I could get UP to 1200 calories a day. I'm 50 and 20 lbs overweight. Working hard to eat more. It's so hard. Proof that zero carb with too low of calories is a disaster. Love both these ladies.
Anita from Ketogenic Woman is one of my favourite Carnivore youtubers. Her channel is awesome and down to earth and she shares awesome meal prep videos and her Tuesday updates are awesome!! Plus she’s Canadian like me! 😉😝
Anita is such a sweetheart! Learned a lot from this video. I am eating a corn of sardines in mustard sauce with a boiled egg for my first meal. Delicious. I think it jumpstarted my weight loss as I had been a bit up and down. I already take Omega 3s so. This was extra.
This was one of my favorite videos from either of y’all!! I’m 53 and have lost, over 4 years because of struggling to stay carnivore in social situations…BUT….I HAVE lost 45lbs! Actually glad it was kinda slow because I don’t want loose skin…but I still have about 35-40 lbs to go. This high fat just resonates with me because I have a couple of autoimmune issues to deal with & a gut issue to heal. I was trying to keep track of calories at 1600-ish….but with high fat…you can’t get enough protein at that level. Now I’ve been eating at about 80-85% upped calories to like 2100-2400 😳 And yes…no weight loss, but no weight gain…and after the first couple of adjustment weeks…I feel great and feel more energy! I do think we have some healing to do before our bodies can release more weight! Keep the faith, y’all!!! 🙏❤️ Edit: I read and have seen other commentators say it takes between 3-6 MONTHS to get fat adapted. But the trick is to eat cold butter and/or cooled fatty meat to start and even with that, digestively…it took about 6 weeks for my system to better handle the extra fat. 👍🏻
I was keto and didn't have any menopause symptoms either. From what I understand, it has a lot to do with insulin levels and metobolic health. Great interview! You are both beautiful women! Keep up the good work. ❤
Carnivore here for one year. Have had to REDUCE my FAT intake and do protein sparing modified fasting to lose weight I have gained (5 lbs). Didn’t have much to lose initially. Hearing myriads of carnivore RUclips videos on importance of consuming more fatty meats and butter now has my realizing not all of us can thrive on high fat. Now feeling I have more energy since reducing the high fat intake.
@@awesomesauce3110 dairy is a mixed bag for some. Now there’s the concern of mRNA involvement in the food supply across the board….meat, dairy, fruits, and veggies. Become breatharian?🤪
@@Christinesobsevations If your kidneys 'hurt' and your numbers (what numbers?) are elevated, YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR. Don't keep doing what you're doing until you need 3 days a week, 6 hours a day at a dialysis clinic because you've got kidney failure. And in case the doctor doesn't ask, tell him what your diet has been like.
Thank you so much for this interview. Anita you just rock. I recently discovered your channel and this channel, 5 minute body. I'm a big fan of Dr. Berry, Laura Spath, Dr. Boz, and many others. The key for me was Anita's sleep journey. I, too, wake up at 2:30am. Like WIDE AWAKE. WTH? I am going to follow your advice and take a tablespoon of butter before bed. I just want a really good nights sleep. That's what I'm working on on my own Carnivore Journey. I'm so glad Anita mentioned this!
Thank you so much for this interview! I too have been through menopause on low carb and have had no symptoms since my last cycle 5 years ago; I have not caught any C virus symptoms; and My osteoarthritis pain is so much better. Batch cooking meat is amazing. I always have food available. Just this morning, my husband told me that he loves pork belly!! I am 18/6 with a 24hr fast once or twice a month.
I agree 100% with the HEALING of the body first. I was insulin resistant for 40 years and had no idea. I can’t sleep at night. I’m absolutely nocturnal. The sun comes up and my eyes close!😂🤣😂🤣🤣. I was at a plateau for over 6 months after losing a little over 60 lbs. I was almost ready to give up when I added a little more fat. I can’t eat butter, butter bites and such. I have to add fat in cooking and eat fatty foods. It worked. I’ve stared losing but very slowly. But I’m thinking if my body hasn’t worked in harmony for 40 years it may take longer to heal completely. I feel better every day. And even though I’m old I’m not in a rush. The turtle won the race! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Oh Anita, just your mention of drinking warm milk at bed time brought back a vivid memory of me gagging. It was a nightmare for me. To this day I can only drink ice cold milk, sometimes adding ice!🤣😂🤣😂
I really appreciate all that was said here especially as, like your guest I am pushing 65 myself. I know I do just fine on 75 grams (TDE) of protein a day (even building muscle with a very small amount of resistance training) but kept getting freaked out when I heard people like NWJ say I needed far more or I will be malnourished. I too had bowel urgency with an ounce of butter in my hot drink so am going to try the 1 tablespoon Anita limits hers to.
I also had no symptoms with menopause other than my period stopping. I even lost 27kgs within 6 months recently without any problems eating high protein/low carbs and moderate fat. First time in my adult life I have not been overweight and at my goal weight! Too much is made of menopause and every woman is different.
Sorry but many of us went through an excruciating ordeal with menopause. Never had many hot flashes or flushes but just about everything else...severe anxiety, depression, loss of sleep, emotional wreck, lack of concentration, attention span, increased pain and arthritis, quick to anger and change of mood, loss of emotional control...to the point of getting fired from my job. I had a complete nervous breakdown and had to go on disability. But my mom, who's still alive at age 90, says she never had any problems at all. Everyone is different.
I fortunately had very few symptoms going through menopause only getting the occasional hot flash and some sleep disturbances. So I was lucky in that regard. But 8 years post menopause and I started bleeding. I had a d&c and for a year all was fine until I started bleeding again. Apparently my uterine lining was thinking and was causing the bleeding. I had it removed and they tested the uterus and found precancerous cells. Glad I had it removed but menopause definitely is not easy for us women!
@@terised Sorry to hear all you've been through. I agree we all experience menopause differently. Hormones play such an important role in our lives. And many doctors have no clue how to balance them or even care to test for imbalances.
I was told that by eating less than what your body requires puts certain people into starvation mode where their body stops them from losing weight and basically they hold on to all the fat in your body because genetically their body thinks that it's starving.
Thank you this was so helpful. I’m 15 days in and I lost 2 lbs then gained it back. I tried to do high fat but obviously I over did it cause I was so sick. I was getting desperate to drop weight but I guess I need to be patient. I just wanted to cry cause I’m tired of being uncomfortable all the time and I thought for sure I would have lost weight by now, but I’m not giving up. 😊
Go keto and omad 16/8 for a month. Try a day fast 24 hour. Worked for me 60lbs down. Then I worked my way slowly over 2 months to carnivore while on omad. Sudden anything isn't good.
Please don’t fast or do one meal a day at first. This is a process and you have to adjust to it. I went full force into carnivore with fasting and ended up in the hospital. After my experience, I would say someone just starting may need three smaller meals, then as your body adjusts you will go to two, then maybe one. YOUR body will tell you when to change. You won’t be hungry. I’m do 2 meals now with fasting of 16-18 hours. Remember you have to do you. All of our bodies are different and function differently!
Were you doing 80 - 20 fat va protein? I'm new to this, so just curious. I guess it all depends where we are, whether if we could suddenly go into high fat full carnivore. Hope you're feeling better now.
@@barbaray3961 I wasn’t keeping track I was just trying to do the 1 stick of butter a day and I ended feeling really sick from it so now I’m going to try and ease into it. Some days I still over do it and feel sick when I do. I’m trying to find that happy spot. 😊 thank you!
@Jamie Schlegel I see. That is a lot of begin with, perhaps. Is it worth initially just trying to go by taste, so stop when it stops tasting good? Animal fat is supposed to be pretty good so fatty meat would be a good balance. That's what I think, logically - if I'm eating a lot more meat with fat, then that's a healthier balance than if I just ate loads of butter. I eat a bit of butter with my eggs and meat now. But I prefer to buy fattier meat. No issues so far but then again, I'm still a newbie.
I started carnivore diet today with 20-4 fast. I cooked my chicken breast, prawns in lamb fat, added 2 boiled egg and made 3 meals. Let's see how it goes. I think I put too much lamb fat in there, might get the runs lol, but if I cant finish all the fat then I'll save it. I've lost 45kg since having my son with D+E. Now stuck at 60, GW is 50. So I have 10kg to lose with carnivore diet, and will transition to keto.
I adore Anita and her channel she's so casual, easy going and creative. Plus the puppies! I'm so happy to hear her story. I'm delighted she is sharing her experiences. Thanks Ladies
Thank you for this lovely video! Speaking of eating tallow/suet I've discovered a super delicious way to do it! Roast and boil a batch of beef bones with high quality salt and maybe pepper / onion if you can tolerate it... after simmering the bones for several hours, let cool and put the whole pot in the fridge. The next day, remove and break up that hardened layer of fat, and oh my, is it ever delicious, salty, and seasoned with the beef stock with little flecks of meat in it! Yuuuummmmy!!
I'm looking at it like Anita, I'm not stressing about not losing weight on carnivore. I'm trying to heal my gut issues and feel good. I figure I can do some metabolic flexibility type Tweeks. I follow her and feel like I've been through similar struggles. I will say it's easier for me to do 70/30 I went by Judy Cho's calculations. It's more protein though.
We make an amazing creamy egg pudding, on eggs and cream, baked in a water bath in the oven. - I think finely chopped anchovies would taste really good to add into the omelet/egg pudding. (Perhaps topped with some fine Parmesan.)
I saw that same video by Judy Cho. Very informative in calculating the proper macros & caloric intake on an individual basis. I made a few adjustments based on her recommendations and now feel better than ever.
Her info on the ratios of protein to fat is very important for me. Did well on Keto then discovered this. Less protein and upped the fat did the trick. Had stalled for three months prior.
I started carnivore Jan 1 2023. As of today I have lost 16 lbs. I struggle with comparing my results with others. At 63 I had lots of gut issues and migraines. I finally pulled my head out of my ear and did the numbers. 1 lb a week is great for healing! I really had a histamine response to certain foods! Looking forward to total healing and wholeness! Keto/vore now. No amount of electrolytes would stop the wretched leg cramps. I am a happy great gramma in the road to recovery💪🏻🙏🏻♥️
for gut issues check out you tube chan Candida Eric bakker (he is a gut expert his vids are excellent look up his vids for candida, parasites, dotoxing heavy metals, h pylori etc these are a good start. wishing you great health take care. also look up yt ch Dr Mindy Pelz fasting vid 7 types of fasting. Also, her dry fasting short vids/regular vids. Dr Berg has vids on this too.
With less elevated insulin on carnivore , our kidneys release sodium that was stored. This results in the leg cramps , and sometimes , "keto flu". Bone broth may help with the nutrients it provides.
Thank you, great informative interview. Love Anita she shares so much with us, lots of great ideas, even got me to try sardines. I am doing carnivore to recover from surgery and a year of toxic smoothies and veganisim. Learning how toxic my favorite veggies are, thanks to Dr Anthony Chaffee I am Carnivore. My favorite fruit is Avocado, my granddaughter's wonderful husband makes the best guacamole ever for my birthday. I love cabbage, so I will have corned beef with cabbage next year. Skipped them this year.
I eat over 2000 calories routinely. I'm 5'3" 115 lbs. i work out HARD twice a week, do a daily one hour walk or moderate hike, and have a job that has me on my feet for 3 days per week. So nothing major in physical exercise, but i do exercise.
Same! I was sugar-free, gluten-free (although not keto level carbs) for decades before menopause and i had no symptoms! In retrospect, i have always loved animal fat and meat, so i know those levels were high even tho i was eating gluten-free carbs.
At 63 I need to build my lean muscle mass, bone density and connective tissue to avoid the walker and keep mobile..So I want lots of protein, esp with the leucine shift requiring more protein with aging. The protein aims for ideal weight is like a BMI. It doesn't take into account bone size, muscle mass and fat composition. Nor age since as we get older we need more protein than younger ppl to synthesize muscle building. Since carnivore, I have lost fat, but definitely gained more muscle as well which improves health.
Hello to my two favorite sweet people. This video is spectacular. With so much info, thank you both so so much. Iam wanting to do the weight loss program, I want to feel better. You both are so inspirational and I think I can do this. I watch several different carnivore and keto channels to get the understanding of this type of loosing weight. Iam 77 now with disabling problems that prevent me from walking any distance, but I have a walker now that have brakes and a seat that lets me sit and rest a little when I do set out walking down my sons long driveway. So now I have to sit down and figure out an eating plan. So, I want to thank both of you with my whole heart for your dedication to helping others. Marilyn Queen from New Jersey ❤
So good! I am 66! My body has been majorly messed up by Lyme disease and all the co-inhabitors most of my life! Knee destoryed and couldn't loose weight for nothing! I learned my health must be in my hands! Once I learned Lyme is my issue. I have tried everything! Now on Carnivore! 10 lbs down but learning it may change! Yes, health is the thing not weight then weight comes! Healthy people, well it is completely different!
I did not know about taking a small amount of fat at bedtime to get through the night without having to pee halfway through! Thanks for the tip, I'll try it!
This is my issue . I am 45 soon my hair is thinning the weight around the middle even pms is worse it’s all pre menopausal/ aging in general issues .. I am tweeting fat ratios to see what works for my body’s aging / hormonal process.
Anita you're great. You continue on your learning and doing journey and 'experimenting on yourself ' and teaching us many others. And your enthusiasm and laughter is always present and joyfully contagious.
Did carnivore around the new year. Lost 15lbs in 3 months. Went back to convention diet. Kept 10lbs off. On day 8 now of our second try. Lost 7lbs in the first seven days. Here’s hoping 👌🏻 Bart Kay recently did 6000 “calories” a day and lost weight.
You guys are so fun to watch together! Great interview! I wonder how Anita incorporates her sardines into a meal? Cold, warm, in oil, in water? I would love to know!
Fabulous testimony, Anita 🙂. This is very good to hear how you tweaked these things to help you on your health journey! I am going to work on the sleep and circadian rhythm… and see how this helps me. I am also in my 60’s and have been basically ketovore for 9 months. I may have to do some tweaking because I find myself backing off the meat and wanting more cheese and cream… probably not so good. I keep thinking of try the sardine challenge….if I can get over the fishiness.
I really appreciate this interview with Ketogenic woman. I think her point about being obese for so long is REALLY important. I have been mainly meat based for a few years (I fall off once in awhile) I have lost almost 90 pounds but it is slow. I have done the ketone testing and I can hardly get into ketosis and I am STRICT!!! I am on day 23 of the BBB &E challenge and I am only at 1.1 (GKI = 3.8) It is disheartening because as we age we feel like we are running out of time. We want to be over this stage of trying to get our (weight = Health back) Carrying an extra 100 pounds is not healthy so the weight has to come off (right???) I can not imagine being a healthy size at the weight I am at so to me...YES the # on the scale matters.
Don't worry about ketones when you're in carnivore the body is optimal and uses energy efficiently. The ketones in the pee only happens whenever there is an excess in the body so it gets disposed.
This Lady nicely describes how carnivore can liberate us from cravings , (,between 28 minutes -30 minutes.)This , like all freedom , is earned...( during the first weeks of Fat Adaptation) .Once earned , it just goes on and on without limits.

Celebrating Anita's success...
😊
I actually need 100-120 grams of protein. When I would get only 60-80g of protein my periods stopped. I thought I was in menopause but my hormone lab tests said I was not in menopause. Once I went up to .8-1g per pound of body weight, my hormones normalized. I was actually in amenorrhea because my body said, oh, you are in starvation mode and we must stop your cycle.
So when protein went to 100+ grams, my body started functioning normally again.
I was a vegetarian my whole life, from birth to age 29. I started carnivore 3.5 months ago. Benefits include:
-Lost 32 pounds (187lb--> 155lb)
-Sleeping significantly better
-Way more energy
-My skin is almost completely clear for the first time in a decade.
-Healed my hunger and satiety cues
-Very easy to adhere to, even during parties and eating out. There are always (delicious) options, even in a pinch.
Carnivore diet is the best choice I ever made for my body and health!
Wow! So glad you found carnivore!
Congrats. 🎉
Same here!
I talked My vegetarian wife into going carnivore last November and she gained 10 lb. She was not happy about this and decided to try a different diet 2 months ago. Instantly got depressed and started having all sorts of pains in her body. She decided to go back onto carnivore in April and she claims she feels so much better, has dropped 10 lb and all her pain and her knee is gone. Just like your guest mentioned I think her body was healing at first
It was probably ten pounds of inflammation, which leads to hypoxia and cancer.
Yes, it was readjusting and healing.
When you go carnivore, your body may need to gain weight initially, in order to nourish the body, because the body was suffering from lack of nutrients. So the body will gain weight before it finds a healthy equilibrium, before the body can level out to a normal weight.
Also depends on what food is being consumed. Highly processed foods and seed oils are absolutely the worst for us, but some people think any fat is "good" as long as they are low- carb and that they can eat all these processed keto-friendly products. Stick to real, whole food and low-carb lifestyle can work wonders 😊
@@mj8495 amen!
I was 230 lb and started the carnivore diet and I lost 95 lb
@@rachelkeyser9069 woww! Over how long and what did you do ?!
I decided to finally go strict carnivore about 6 weeks ago and felt terrible a month into it, week yet continued to work out. Decided to add fat like everyone said and wow it's night and day difference. Not only do I feel strong again but I also feel less hungry. Anybody reading this listen when people say eat more fat it really does make a difference
You have to fuel your body with something. If not carbs, then fat has to be there.
I’m trying to increase my fat now to see if I can get some more energy
@@CarnivorousGrama Electrolytes helped me also, amazing the healing processes we go through, so quickly on carnivore.
At 1200 calories our bodies go into starvation mode....storing the fat. Losing muscle is probable too which is never good especially if over 50.
I don't have a gallbladder and more fat makes me nauseated. Not sure how to get around it. Been keto since January. I'm down 25 lbs but have hit a plateau. Am Still 45 lbs overweight. Not sure how to go full carnivore (tried it for a month) but was hungry all the time as I could not put down enough fat.
I'm a 53 year old female and eat 3000+ calories of fatty meat, eggs and dripping/butter a day to maintain my weight! I LOVE this way of eating, I eat nose to tail and love cooking different cuts. I've just finished a big pile of lamb shanks and lamb neck slow cooked in home made bone broth that I reduced down at the end to a thick sauce that was absolutely divine. Anyone who says carnivore is boring isn't doing it right LOL!
That’s so amazing!! What did you eat or how many calories before maintaining? To lose how many calories did you eat?
Wow, can you please open a carnivore bed-and-breakfast so that I can come visit you? That lamb dish sounds phenomenal!
@@itzakpoelzig330 LOL, funnily enough I do run a BnB (I overlook the sea on the east coast of NZ), the breakfast includes beef bacon and eggs from my free range chickens!!!
Eating delicious beef, bacon, eggs, butter, and seafood, I'm not sure I can handle eating this delicious food all my life! 😁😂

Calories aren't important on carnivore - cutting out starches and sugars is.
It is always so comforting to watch Anita the Ketogenic Woman - she is a treasure! Thanks for interviewing her.
This is absolutely been my experience. It took months for my body to heal before any weight would come off. 5 months in now and feeling so much better and weight does start to come off. Healing our brain and body is the most important thing and this diet does just that. Nothing short of a miracle!
Thank you for this encouragement!
That has been my journey too.
Low carb in june 2021, to Keto September2021, to Carnivore April 2022. Eating 1900 to 2100 calories. High fat to protein is the way to go. 220 to 145. Size 16 to size 6 in 18 months. I feel amazing. Its never too late, start today for your health.
very encouraging!

@@seascape185 probably very tall
@@seascape185I am 140 size 6 on pants also
Curious how many grams of fat and protein you did to see these results?
I was so thrilled to see you interview Ketogenic Woman. Loved seeing my two favorite carnivore RUclipsrs together talking. Love both of your channels! I hope more people interview her. She doesn’t get the recognition she deserves..
I went into carnivore for the only intention of healing my body. I had Celiac disease for 34 years. Years of constant diarrhea, bloating, nausea along with fibromyalgia and CRPS, also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. A severe nerve, muscle and nerve disease. Causing chronic pain. I also suffered from Barrett's esophagus. I had burned up my esophagus as a result of CD and excessive use of Ibuprofen. I did go gluten free and dropped from 188 to 142. Gaining back to 155. I saw the carnivore diet for gut health health and started on February 6th of this year. 2 months later I am down to 122!!🎉 Most important my gut issues are gone!! I am letting my body heal. My gut, my hormones, and all that needs to be healed. No carbs and no sugars were gone because going GF in the beginning of 2021 made this very easy to slip into. One great change is the mental fog is completely gone!🎉. I know can sit in my other pain and really listen to my pain and understand what is going on. My meds have decreased but some I will have to continue to take. I'm feeling the inflammation reduce tremendously. We have to pay attention closely to our bodies. I'm 57 and this is a lifestyle for me. I so love all your videos and your energy. Thanks to your guest. And I am walking now as well!! Peace and Blessings to you all and to your partner 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The scientific explanation is provided by Dr. Jason Fung.
Fat does not metabolize as Fat. Insulin tells your body to store fat, and the way you raise insulin is eating, carbs the most, protein second and fat does not tell your pancreas to send out insulin.
Anita has so many valuable tips and advice. I do enjoy the way she so kindly speaks about sensitive topics.
I am 66 and can totally relate to the life of coming up with 3 wonderful square meals a day for me and my family. I'm still doing it a lot due to raising grandchildren. Though I eat so simple with meat, eggs, and some dairy, I've yet to completely get the rest of my family on board.
This was a terrific video that I thoroughly enjoyed and find I am still picking up good advice after 28 months of animal based eating.
I’m in the same boat.Remember everyone has their own journey. I’m sure once they see how amazing your health is one day they will follow! Keep it up!
Love Anita. She is a great representative of a older woman is this community.

I've been on carnivore for 12 weeks. I lost 5 pounds slowly in 1st month (175 to 170) and nothing the last 2 months. I figured my 69 year old body was healing. so I stuck to meat, eggs, and a little dairy. I still put heavy cream and a bit of sweetener in my large a.m. coffee. Sadly, I still drink 8 to 10 ounces of coke zero daily (which doesn't cause cravings for sugary food).
While listening to this video, I weighed myself. OMG I AM DOWN TO 167 POUNDS. Its a miracle. I am pleased. Yippee...Going for a walk with my dogs.
Diet drinks stimulate the body to retain insulin resistance even though no sugar.
Dr Berry had a tip for weaning off of diet drinks which I used successfully. Start adding water and slowly increase the ratio. I suppose cutting them with sparkling water might work as well.
@@seeking.harmony Thanks, I will use this tip.
Yay you! 🙌 I really hope you can find a way to kick toe diet pop. Once my husband did he saw a huge difference in his weight loss.
@@DL-ep5uk Depends on how badly you want to successfully achieve good health. 😉
Wasn’t my idea though. It was Dr Ken Berry’s suggestion.
Thank you for this video. I'm 49 and starting menopause. I've been carnivore for 4 months and have weight to lose. Down 27 lbs and I think my hormones have been healing. I really can relate to so much that was said on this video. Have learned so much from you both, as well as the others you'd mentioned (Judy Cho, Elizabeth Bright and more) thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤
I do single day fat fasts, and they work well for me. Beyond 24 - 36 hours I don't feel "amazing" anymore. I am also lean already, so I think it's probably our bodies letting us know we don't need to just fat fast, but need some protein too. But one day fat fasts a few times a month make me feel really energized. I also do the 1 tbsp of butter right before bed and it makes me sleep like a baby. My cortisol got a little out of whack in menopause, and this took care of it.
This is such a great interview with Anita. She has such a way of touching on sensitive subjects. Canadian kindness cannot be beat! Thank you!
Anita can explain things slowly and calmly and so authentically from her personal experience, and we can all benefit from her story and findings. Sleep cycles for me corrected first and this makes a big difference. Without good sleep healing can not be achieved. Hence a sleep deprived mothers life can be a main reason for weight issues. Be kind to oursleves according to the state in life and realistic too. Sleep and food choices and stress important elements that effect our health. Great chat ladies. Thank you
I have to say Anita looks absolutely fabulous. She aging backwards. I to believe there is so much healing to do for so many of us. Congratulations
I have been doing the sliver of butter at bed time when I’m anxious and it helps!
Its so good!
I had to come back and say thank you for such a fantastic and well appreciated interview.💙 I too am in my 60’s and postmenopausal, a most challenging time of life for women health wise, although not impossible to succeed. We have to work twice, if not more, as hard than any other to maintain optimal health. Although perimenopause is/was no “walk in the park” personally. Anita is a beautiful and wonderful source of inspiration, and epitomizes what true grit and strength ought to embody in the wisdom years. Anita walks the talk and has 100% earned the “Someone To Look Up To” badge IMO. Thank you both again🫶🏽
Before gastric bypass Jenn Craig had me down to 900 calories with no weight loss. Gastric bypass lost over 100 pounds and gall bladder and maintained that for over 10 years until menopause and I am now working on needing to lose 50 or so pounds. Going from keto to carnivore and seeing changes.
Just to add to that I will say eating this way has brought back that full feeling you are supposed to get from gastric bypass, so I am excited 😊 thank you both for all you do.
Yes I had gastric sleeve surgery and maintained for 10 years. Gained weight in covid lockdown. On carnivore now losing every week about 6 pounds per month. Agree about feeling full.
I appreciated all the wisdom that Anita shared today. One thing that I have noticed as I've been on my own keto/carnivore journey is that very little good information is provided for women over 65. What is workable for a 20, 30, 40, and 50 year old is not as workable at 71. Even the info provided by medical and nutritional experts we follow on RUclips etc, is geared toward a generalized younger demographic. I would love to see more information for healthy aging with a carnivore lifestyle.
My healing was hormonal. The first 90 days on carnivore ( after being stuck at the same weight/measurements for months while on keto) my menstrual cycle went into a frenzied overdrive. It had been incredibly heavy for years, but these healing months were 20x worse, plus additional weeks of breakthrough bleeding. Went to doc to determine if I had a fibroid, and thankfully not. I was pretty anemic after all that.
Now that my body has healed and hormones adjusted, everything is GLORIOUS.
If I had known it could be like this, I'd have gone carnivore JUST for the better menstrual cycles. Forget about the bonus weight loss.
I've seen many reports of heavier flow when first on keto or carni.
Wonderful interview! So many of us can relate to Anita’s journey!
Anita was a fabulous guest! I learned so much from her. Thank you for having her on.
Anita is such an eloquent, intelligent inspiration, a lovely soul. 🌹

I just love Anita’s informative, unpretentious and funny nature. Awesome person and awesome channel!
Love Anita!
So down to earth, so relateable…she has been there, done that and it is great to hear about her journey.
She also does the research, follows a plan and documents all her results so well ❤️
What a great interview! I'm 68, and I've been through a lot of similar experiences. Thank you so much for your openness and willingness to share what you've been through.
Incredible her only symptom for menopause was stopping her cycle. Menopausal caused me all kinds of issues!! And I went through it early at 40 years old. It just shows the benefits of a proper human diet!! I am now on Thyroid, estrogen & progesterone to get me all straightened out. I’ve been on ketovore for 90 days to reset in hopes of dropping these stupid meds soon. And to lose weight once my body heals. This was helpful for me to give myself more permission for higher fat. Thank you!!!
I'm in menopause too and I feel great. Mostly no hot flashes, tons of energy and so many other benefits! Only strict carnivore since late December!
Dr Bickman in his book Why we get Sick details how we need fat, the right kind of fats, with every meal to ensure nutrients are absorbed properly. He also mentions how fibre can inhibit the absorption of nutrients.
Since starting diet my blood sugars are stable and in low range all the time and thats unheard of for me as type 2 diabtetic and, that's weaned off all medications. My goal is to reverse diabetes completely and losse the tummy before menopause because uts known to add weight arround the middle for women. That would be terrible for my health if that happens. God willing this is the best advise and i can live like this and become healthy full time. Wishing everyone the best on this carnivore diet.😊
Anita is so refreshing & down to earth & a joy to watch & listen to. I love her channel too & find her recipes to be so tasty & nice to have. I loved cooking for my family before & it's nice to have other options sometime - even with carnivore. Thank you for having her on!😊
The key is to become Fat Adapted first, then you'll become a fat burner. Takes at least a few months while healing & adapting then... Boom!
Oh my gosh, I love Anita so much! Her energy is so lovely, and she explains things so well. Thanks for interviewing her.
We need to understand that sometimes "I need more variety" is a manifestation of food-as-entertainment disordered eating. Just as some folks can be addicted to volume eating, others eat in response to stress or depression, it can be worth examining your beliefs around using food for pleasure/amusement/entertainment. If every meal has to titillate your palate or beckon you to the table, look more closely
Love Anita, fellow Canadian! :) I hope she's reading this comment, because I totally had the SAME experience regarding menopause. I'm 55 and had been keto (mostly meat) for those perimenopausal years and guess what? One day I had periods and 4 children and the next with menopause, my period stopped. That's it. No symptoms, no hormonal therapy. Notta. lol. And I wasn't a perfect keto follower either. I had the easiest time ever and I encourage women to consider keto and carnivore as the perfect human diet, which optomizes all aspects of our health, including hormonal health.
I have tried to lose weight on OMAD since 1987. Even no carb I couldn't lose at all. I finally tracked and found that on a good day I could get UP to 1200 calories a day. I'm 50 and 20 lbs overweight. Working hard to eat more. It's so hard. Proof that zero carb with too low of calories is a disaster. Love both these ladies.
Anita from Ketogenic Woman is one of my favourite Carnivore youtubers. Her channel is awesome and down to earth and she shares awesome meal prep videos and her Tuesday updates are awesome!!
Plus she’s Canadian like me! 😉😝
💜🥰🤩🤗
Anita is absolutely wonderful❣
Anita is such a sweetheart! Learned a lot from this video. I am eating a corn of sardines in mustard sauce with a boiled egg for my first meal. Delicious. I think it jumpstarted my weight loss as I had been a bit up and down. I already take Omega 3s so. This was extra.
This was one of my favorite videos from either of y’all!! I’m 53 and have lost, over 4 years because of struggling to stay carnivore in social situations…BUT….I HAVE lost 45lbs! Actually glad it was kinda slow because I don’t want loose skin…but I still have about 35-40 lbs to go. This high fat just resonates with me because I have a couple of autoimmune issues to deal with & a gut issue to heal. I was trying to keep track of calories at 1600-ish….but with high fat…you can’t get enough protein at that level. Now I’ve been eating at about 80-85% upped calories to like 2100-2400 😳 And yes…no weight loss, but no weight gain…and after the first couple of adjustment weeks…I feel great and feel more energy! I do think we have some healing to do before our bodies can release more weight! Keep the faith, y’all!!! 🙏❤️ Edit: I read and have seen other commentators say it takes between 3-6 MONTHS to get fat adapted. But the trick is to eat cold butter and/or cooled fatty meat to start and even with that, digestively…it took about 6 weeks for my system to better handle the extra fat. 👍🏻
Great advice. Thank you!
I was keto and didn't have any menopause symptoms either. From what I understand, it has a lot to do with insulin levels and metobolic health.
Great interview! You are both beautiful women! Keep up the good work. ❤
Carnivore here for one year. Have had to REDUCE my FAT intake and do protein sparing modified fasting to lose weight I have gained (5 lbs). Didn’t have much to lose initially. Hearing myriads of carnivore RUclips videos on importance of consuming more fatty meats and butter now has my realizing not all of us can thrive on high fat. Now feeling I have more energy since reducing the high fat intake.
Yep! I dislike the anti-dairy message too.
@@awesomesauce3110 dairy is a mixed bag for some. Now there’s the concern of mRNA involvement in the food supply across the board….meat, dairy, fruits, and veggies. Become breatharian?🤪
I hate high fat but stuck on it now . Well higher protein. My kidneys hurt and my numbers are elevated never had this issue before carnivore.
@@Christinesobsevations If your kidneys 'hurt' and your numbers (what numbers?) are elevated, YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR. Don't keep doing what you're doing until you need 3 days a week, 6 hours a day at a dialysis clinic because you've got kidney failure. And in case the doctor doesn't ask, tell him what your diet has been like.
Check your ketone. Without much fat then your body is not running on ketones.
The guest is such a sweet person ! Thanks for the chat
Looooove Anita! She’s amazing! I wondered when someone would interview her! Thank you for this
Thank you so much for this interview. Anita you just rock. I recently discovered your channel and this channel, 5 minute body. I'm a big fan of Dr. Berry, Laura Spath, Dr. Boz, and many others. The key for me was Anita's sleep journey. I, too, wake up at 2:30am. Like WIDE AWAKE. WTH? I am going to follow your advice and take a tablespoon of butter before bed. I just want a really good nights sleep. That's what I'm working on on my own Carnivore Journey. I'm so glad Anita mentioned this!
How did you do? Since upping the butter I certainly don’t wake at 3am like I used to.
I love Anita, such a compassionate sweet soul❤
Thank you so much for this interview! I too have been through menopause on low carb and have had no symptoms since my last cycle 5 years ago; I have not caught any C virus symptoms; and My osteoarthritis pain is so much better. Batch cooking meat is amazing. I always have food available. Just this morning, my husband told me that he loves pork belly!! I am 18/6 with a 24hr fast once or twice a month.
I agree 100% with the HEALING of the body first. I was insulin resistant for 40 years and had no idea. I can’t sleep at night. I’m absolutely nocturnal. The sun comes up and my eyes close!😂🤣😂🤣🤣. I was at a plateau for over 6 months after losing a little over 60 lbs. I was almost ready to give up when I added a little more fat. I can’t eat butter, butter bites and such. I have to add fat in cooking and eat fatty foods. It worked. I’ve stared losing but very slowly. But I’m thinking if my body hasn’t worked in harmony for 40 years it may take longer to heal completely. I feel better every day. And even though I’m old I’m not in a rush. The turtle won the race! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Oh Anita, just your mention of drinking warm milk at bed time brought back a vivid memory of me gagging. It was a nightmare for me. To this day I can only drink ice cold milk, sometimes adding ice!🤣😂🤣😂
@@DL-ep5uk my daughter can’t drink milk either. She gags at the thought of it. 🤣😂🤣🤣
Great interview! Anita is so generous with all of the information she has collected. ❤️
She's so unpretentious and down to earth. Wish I had IRL friends like her.
❤ Great conversation. I really enjoyed listening to the two of you.
Really nice flow and tone. Thank you for this interview.❤
I really appreciate all that was said here especially as, like your guest I am pushing 65 myself. I know I do just fine on 75 grams (TDE) of protein a day (even building muscle with a very small amount of resistance training) but kept getting freaked out when I heard people like NWJ say I needed far more or I will be malnourished. I too had bowel urgency with an ounce of butter in my hot drink so am going to try the 1 tablespoon Anita limits hers to.
I also had no symptoms with menopause other than my period stopping. I even lost 27kgs within 6 months recently without any problems eating high protein/low carbs and moderate fat. First time in my adult life I have not been overweight and at my goal weight! Too much is made of menopause and every woman is different.
Sorry but many of us went through an excruciating ordeal with menopause. Never had many hot flashes or flushes but just about everything else...severe anxiety, depression, loss of sleep, emotional wreck, lack of concentration, attention span, increased pain and arthritis, quick to anger and change of mood, loss of emotional control...to the point of getting fired from my job. I had a complete nervous breakdown and had to go on disability. But my mom, who's still alive at age 90, says she never had any problems at all. Everyone is different.
I fortunately had very few symptoms going through menopause only getting the occasional hot flash and some sleep disturbances. So I was lucky in that regard. But 8 years post menopause and I started bleeding. I had a d&c and for a year all was fine until I started bleeding again. Apparently my uterine lining was thinking and was causing the bleeding. I had it removed and they tested the uterus and found precancerous cells. Glad I had it removed but menopause definitely is not easy for us women!
@@terised Sorry to hear all you've been through. I agree we all experience menopause differently. Hormones play such an important role in our lives. And many doctors have no clue how to balance them or even care to test for imbalances.
I was told that by eating less than what your body requires puts certain people into starvation mode where their body stops them from losing weight and basically they hold on to all the fat in your body because genetically their body thinks that it's starving.
Thank you this was so helpful. I’m 15 days in and I lost 2 lbs then gained it back. I tried to do high fat but obviously I over did it cause I was so sick. I was getting desperate to drop weight but I guess I need to be patient. I just wanted to cry cause I’m tired of being uncomfortable all the time and I thought for sure I would have lost weight by now, but I’m not giving up. 😊
Go keto and omad 16/8 for a month. Try a day fast 24 hour.
Worked for me 60lbs down. Then I worked my way slowly over 2 months to carnivore while on omad. Sudden anything isn't good.
Please don’t fast or do one meal a day at first. This is a process and you have to adjust to it. I went full force into carnivore with fasting and ended up in the hospital.
After my experience, I would say someone just starting may need three smaller meals, then as your body adjusts you will go to two, then maybe one. YOUR body will tell you when to change. You won’t be hungry. I’m do 2 meals now with fasting of 16-18 hours. Remember you have to do you. All of our bodies are different and function differently!
Were you doing 80 - 20 fat va protein? I'm new to this, so just curious. I guess it all depends where we are, whether if we could suddenly go into high fat full carnivore. Hope you're feeling better now.
@@barbaray3961 I wasn’t keeping track I was just trying to do the 1 stick of butter a day and I ended feeling really sick from it so now I’m going to try and ease into it. Some days I still over do it and feel sick when I do. I’m trying to find that happy spot. 😊 thank you!
@Jamie Schlegel I see. That is a lot of begin with, perhaps. Is it worth initially just trying to go by taste, so stop when it stops tasting good? Animal fat is supposed to be pretty good so fatty meat would be a good balance. That's what I think, logically - if I'm eating a lot more meat with fat, then that's a healthier balance than if I just ate loads of butter. I eat a bit of butter with my eggs and meat now. But I prefer to buy fattier meat. No issues so far but then again, I'm still a newbie.
How much more weight loss are you hoping for, Anita? I have lost 155 pounds, and would like to lose perhaps another 10-20 lbs. At 75, I am 5’1”.
Great talk, Anita. It's fantastic how far you've come. Hard earned and well done success.
I started carnivore diet today with 20-4 fast. I cooked my chicken breast, prawns in lamb fat, added 2 boiled egg and made 3 meals. Let's see how it goes. I think I put too much lamb fat in there, might get the runs lol, but if I cant finish all the fat then I'll save it. I've lost 45kg since having my son with D+E. Now stuck at 60, GW is 50. So I have 10kg to lose with carnivore diet, and will transition to keto.
Hi! Is it a year, how did you go?? Just curious.
I adore Anita and her channel she's so casual, easy going and creative. Plus the puppies! I'm so happy to hear her story. I'm delighted she is sharing her experiences. Thanks Ladies
Thank you for this lovely video! Speaking of eating tallow/suet I've discovered a super delicious way to do it! Roast and boil a batch of beef bones with high quality salt and maybe pepper / onion if you can tolerate it... after simmering the bones for several hours, let cool and put the whole pot in the fridge. The next day, remove and break up that hardened layer of fat, and oh my, is it ever delicious, salty, and seasoned with the beef stock with little flecks of meat in it! Yuuuummmmy!!
I do this with condensed beef bone broth with some added heavy cream and it is super delucious!
Amazing interview with Anita! She’s so genuine and her information is so incredibly helpful ❤❤❤❤
Yes.
I'm looking at it like Anita, I'm not stressing about not losing weight on carnivore. I'm trying to heal my gut issues and feel good. I figure I can do some metabolic flexibility type Tweeks. I follow her and feel like I've been through similar struggles.
I will say it's easier for me to do 70/30 I went by Judy Cho's calculations. It's more protein though.
Loved the interview with Anita. I admire her accomplishments and her You Tube content. Thank you for sharing
We make an amazing creamy egg pudding, on eggs and cream, baked in a water bath in the oven.
- I think finely chopped anchovies would taste really good to add into the omelet/egg pudding. (Perhaps topped with some fine Parmesan.)
I saw that same video by Judy Cho. Very informative in calculating the proper macros & caloric intake on an individual basis. I made a few adjustments based on her recommendations and now feel better than ever.
Her info on the ratios of protein to fat is very important for me. Did well on Keto then discovered this. Less protein and upped the fat did the trick. Had stalled for three months prior.
I LOVE ANITA! SWEETEST SOUL WITH VERY HELPFUL TIPS AND TWEEKS. GLAD THIS COMMINITY IS SO WELCOMING!
I started carnivore Jan 1 2023.
As of today I have lost 16 lbs.
I struggle with comparing my results with others.
At 63 I had lots of gut issues and migraines.
I finally pulled my head out of my ear and did the numbers.
1 lb a week is great for healing! I really had a histamine response to certain foods!
Looking forward to total healing and wholeness!
Keto/vore now.
No amount of electrolytes would stop the wretched leg cramps.
I am a happy great gramma in the road to recovery💪🏻🙏🏻♥️
for gut issues check out you tube chan Candida Eric bakker (he is a gut expert his vids are excellent look up his vids for candida, parasites, dotoxing heavy metals, h pylori etc these are a good start. wishing you great health take care.
also look up yt ch Dr Mindy Pelz fasting vid 7 types of fasting. Also, her dry fasting short vids/regular vids. Dr Berg has vids on this too.
With less elevated insulin on carnivore , our kidneys release sodium that was stored. This results in the leg cramps , and sometimes , "keto flu". Bone broth may help with the nutrients it provides.
Fun interview. Will try eating more sardines. I have to add a little apple cider vinegar to them.
Thank you, great informative interview. Love Anita she shares so much with us, lots of great ideas, even got me to try sardines. I am doing carnivore to recover from surgery and a year of toxic smoothies and veganisim. Learning how toxic my favorite veggies are, thanks to Dr Anthony Chaffee I am Carnivore. My favorite fruit is Avocado, my granddaughter's wonderful husband makes the best guacamole ever for my birthday. I love cabbage, so I will have corned beef with cabbage next year. Skipped them this year.
I eat over 2000 calories routinely. I'm 5'3" 115 lbs. i work out HARD twice a week, do a daily one hour walk or moderate hike, and have a job that has me on my feet for 3 days per week. So nothing major in physical exercise, but i do exercise.
Same! I was sugar-free, gluten-free (although not keto level carbs) for decades before menopause and i had no symptoms! In retrospect, i have always loved animal fat and meat, so i know those levels were high even tho i was eating gluten-free carbs.
At 63 I need to build my lean muscle mass, bone density and connective tissue to avoid the walker and keep mobile..So I want lots of protein, esp with the leucine shift requiring more protein with aging. The protein aims for ideal weight is like a BMI. It doesn't take into account bone size, muscle mass and fat composition. Nor age since as we get older we need more protein than younger ppl to synthesize muscle building. Since carnivore, I have lost fat, but definitely gained more muscle as well which improves health.
How much do u eat
What urs height and LBM/GW?
Hello to my two favorite sweet people. This video is spectacular. With so much info, thank you both so so much. Iam wanting to do the weight loss program, I want to feel better. You both are so inspirational and I think I can do this. I watch several different carnivore and keto channels to get the understanding of this type of loosing weight. Iam 77 now with disabling problems that prevent me from walking any distance, but I have a walker now that have brakes and a seat that lets me sit and rest a little when I do set out walking down my sons long driveway. So now I have to sit down and figure out an eating plan. So, I want to thank both of you with my whole heart for your dedication to helping others. Marilyn Queen from New Jersey ❤
Well done, keep us posted!
Amazing !! A new life thru a delicious - just different & simple diet. 💃🎉
So good! I am 66! My body has been majorly messed up by Lyme disease and all the co-inhabitors most of my life! Knee destoryed and couldn't loose weight for nothing! I learned my health must be in my hands! Once I learned Lyme is my issue. I have tried everything! Now on Carnivore! 10 lbs down but learning it may change! Yes, health is the thing not weight then weight comes! Healthy people, well it is completely different!
Anita is awesome!
Anita’s video about carnivore being restrictive was one of the best videos I have seen. She is a great inspiration.
I loved this conversation between you both. Wonderful! By the way, you both look younger than your age!!❤😊
I did not know about taking a small amount of fat at bedtime to get through the night without having to pee halfway through! Thanks for the tip, I'll try it!
I’m going to try this too!
This is my issue . I am 45 soon my hair is thinning the weight around the middle even pms is worse it’s all pre menopausal/ aging in general issues .. I am tweeting fat ratios to see what works for my body’s aging / hormonal process.
Thank you for this vedio. I've been conavor about 2 months and not lossing. I was getting discourage. I relate to your guest.
Anita you're great. You continue on your learning and doing journey and 'experimenting on yourself ' and teaching us many others.
And your enthusiasm and laughter is always present and joyfully contagious.
Same age as Anita. Only symptom of menopause I had was my periods stopped, but I was not doing Keto or Carvivore.
Did carnivore around the new year. Lost 15lbs in 3 months. Went back to convention diet. Kept 10lbs off. On day 8 now of our second try. Lost 7lbs in the first seven days. Here’s hoping 👌🏻
Bart Kay recently did 6000 “calories” a day and lost weight.
I totally agree with you, I think we plato in weight loss journey. This means we need a time to heal.
New subscriber. Really enjoyed the interview and have watched a couple of your videos with Dr Anthony Chaffee. I need to watch your story.
Thankyou for sharing your experiences. I’m just starting. I’m still quite overwhelmed. So many opinions, info from drs that conflict.
You guys are so fun to watch together! Great interview! I wonder how Anita incorporates her sardines into a meal? Cold, warm, in oil, in water? I would love to know!
Watch her older Utubes with the sardine recipes on them.
Fabulous testimony, Anita 🙂. This is very good to hear how you tweaked these things to help you on your health journey! I am going to work on the sleep and circadian rhythm… and see how this helps me. I am also in my 60’s and have been basically ketovore for 9 months. I may have to do some tweaking because I find myself backing off the meat and wanting more cheese and cream… probably not so good. I keep thinking of try the sardine challenge….if I can get over the fishiness.
Anita is the coolest . ❤️🙌🏼
I really appreciate this interview with Ketogenic woman. I think her point about being obese for so long is REALLY important. I have been mainly meat based for a few years (I fall off once in awhile) I have lost almost 90 pounds but it is slow. I have done the ketone testing and I can hardly get into ketosis and I am STRICT!!! I am on day 23 of the BBB &E challenge and I am only at 1.1 (GKI = 3.8) It is disheartening because as we age we feel like we are running out of time. We want to be over this stage of trying to get our (weight = Health back) Carrying an extra 100 pounds is not healthy so the weight has to come off (right???) I can not imagine being a healthy size at the weight I am at so to me...YES the # on the scale matters.
Don't worry about ketones when you're in carnivore the body is optimal and uses energy efficiently. The ketones in the pee only happens whenever there is an excess in the body so it gets disposed.
This Lady nicely describes how carnivore can liberate us from cravings , (,between 28 minutes -30 minutes.)This , like all freedom , is earned...( during the first weeks of Fat Adaptation) .Once earned , it just goes on and on without limits.
Dr. Berry, when asked, said fish is on the menu for BBBE. The S or F is just silent. 😀
