I’m excited to start this game plan! 😁 if you have questions, comment them! ❤If you want to join me, I hope to see you in the 30-Day Challenge! sbg-s-meat-up.mn.co/plans/316276?bundle_token=802104567f230cf6ff692fdb11cc7d45&
Relatively new to carnivore 7 weeks but i do eat Thai chillies about 6 or 7.I am seeing great results atm but how much could this effect my weight loss in the future? The rest is strictly carnivore btw
Yep, I'm having cheese issues right now. Cutting it out. Still loosing weight, but very slowly. I have a long way to go to reverse 30+ years of chronic disease!
No dairy whatsoever including no ghee- has been key to my gut health & healing AI AS arthritis; along with no grains, no stevia, no vegetables except Olives, artichokes & sort of -butter lettuce but bloating.
Using IF daily, solved the addiction to sweets, tiramisu… made my self so sick one day binging out- puking/ diarrhea & hot/cold sweats I now longer crave it- negative associations help though such a rough lesson!
I use dairy as an aid. I can feel more inflamed but have given myself the ability to choose. Heavy whipping cream is a treat for me when my family had ice cream. I add to decaf coffee...and this has kept me on track. In all other areas I have no problems. I have lost 35 pounds and have another 100 to go. This self tolerance and balance has made me successful right now. As my journey continues, I have the ability to update as needed. #self-love
You have no idea how much your courage, honesty, and openness to share you struggles has inspired me! It’s easy to brush it under the rug and keep going but you took the time to be vulnerable AND come up with clear steps to get better. I learn so much from you. Can’t wait to follow along 🙌🏾
OMG THANK YOU Bella. I’ve been struggling as my mother has late stage Alzheimer’s and has been struggling with daily crying/distress and my father who is her primary caregiver just got diagnosed with cancer last month. I can 100% relate with how the stress and emotionality of this type of situation can so easily throw us off our track. I have struggled with guilt, sadness, distress and even letting all of it filter down to my relationship with my partner. I have definitely gained weight and struggled despite trying to stay mostly carnivore…I’ve had good days and really really bad days too. I am following your journey closely as it so mimics mine. Thank you for giving voice to this reality that we all confront at one time or another in our lives. Really really needed that. ❤
I’m helping my mother with dementia as well. Trying to be a support for my dad too. I keep running back to beef and eggs. I feel so satiated eating this way even through so much stress.
I am praying for you that you receive healing in mind and body to get you through this period in your life, Bless you, and regards from Yorkshire England
I was helping my Mom with Alzheimer, I had to move in with her, she passed last month. I have multiple sclerosis, pretty advanced stage myself, so it wasn’t easy. But what can you do…. Take care, warm wishes
I'm an abstainer too! 100% is easier than "half-assing" anything. You have a truly wonderful team at your side. We often learn self-compassion from others who love us. We learn to be self-compassionate from the compassion they gift to us. My 2 cents as a nutritionist, anyone would have gained weight or felt puffy from everything you've been through even if they had clean carnivore foods available because of the emotional roller coaster. Stress & Cortisol alone can do this to us. It's time to treat yourself with the kindness, compassion & knowledge with which you coach others. 🥰 One last note: You did it before; you can do it again! You got this!!! 🤗💖
I fell off the wagon for a couple of months and now I am struggling to stay away from the breaded foods. The foods that have sugar and ice cream and such. I did super great for 4 months and I felt super great and healed from almost everything. And I had a lot of health problems. I have stopped the dairies: cheese, milk and yoghurt. I realised it caused me to crave chips and sodas and such. Now I am at the point that I just give in to cookies. And I definitely feel the acid reflux, gassy, bloating and sternum pain. Now I basically have ground beef and eggs in the morning. I do tell myself that I am going to regret it. Now I am at the point that I am emerging myself in as many Carnivore videos as possible to flip the switch back to totally carnivore again. Thank you for this information. It does help.
@carmenhogan8879: Been there; it's hard to get back on track. But if you can stay away from the cookies for a few days, you'll lose the cravings. I often miss the CRUNCH of cookies, so this is what I did: cleaned a bunch of radishes, put them in a canning jar, filled with bottled water, and put inside the fridge. A cold, crunchy radish really satisfies my need for a crispy chew. "Dr. Ken Berry" and "Go Keto with Casey" have good videos too. Best wishes for your success, Carmen.
The lactones in dairy can bring us so much comfort because it is a cellular reminder of the “bliss of infancy”. It’s hard to quit if you’re under stress. Once you finally kick the habit your body will thank you! I still eat raw cheese and raw yogurt but no more processed dairy, creamer, ice cream, soft serves or milkshakes. I’m free! 🎉
When I was nursing my son, he'd always get this beatific look on his face afterwards (no other way to describe it). I wondered what the heck was going on here and tasted my own milk - it tasted EXACTLY LIKE WARM VANILLA ICE CREAM, only even sweeter. Much sweeter, more sugar, than cow's milk. The 'vanilla' component was marked for some reason, even though it's not like I was eating vanilla anything to flavor my own milk... this explains why vanilla ice cream is by far the most popular flavor!
Oh, dear Everybody In This Video: God bless you! This was so beautiful! Bella, the humility and strength! Ugh! Chefs kiss! Coaches! Amazing empathy and sympathy! It was such a joy to watch and so incredibly informative! I was saying to my husband that it's the perfect first video to send to people ready to start Carnivore. God bless you all, and God bless anyone reading this right now. May we all heal, thrive and have the life that is worthy of our hearts.
THANK YOU for your transparency!! J almost gave up bc I fell off of the wagon and felt I'm just hopeless...then I saw this video!! I'm starting over again!!!❤❤❤
This was such a fantastic episode … thank Bella fir being so vulnerable and honest that your audience CRAVES to hear … we all have our own issues and challenges and listening to you and the coaches is invaluable!!! 💕🥰💕
Thank you Bella for allowing yourself to be vulnerable and showing away that we can get over our craving/addictions. Thanks to your videos and going carnivore I have lost over 100 ponds and still going, my anxiety is gone, high blood pressure gone, and i have tons of energy now.
For myself carnivore for 7 weeks now Started at 422lbs now 398lbs I find that a piece of cheese as a dessert just completes the meal for me but if i ever get a stall ill ditch the cheese as for now I really enjoy my dairy minus milk. Btw trie Dr Saladinos diet plan for 6 weeks prior even cut down to 2 pieces of fruit a day 0 weight loss but no gain either. It wasn't until i went almost 0 carb and OMAD that i started to see results.
Same here, OMAD is so powerful to lower that pesky insulin that holds onto weight. Black coffee in AM, Big steak with butter for dinner, equals weight loss. My body has enough fat to live off of for a while. 😊❤
@@karaleeann1211 I also drink a lot of black coffee through out the day and only water at night. I do use spices and the only plant i consume is Thai chillies about 6 at a time occasionally I love spicy but I also know that last 5% could make all the difference later in my journey. Good luck on your journey and look forward to reading the comments.
Having been through several extreme health and stress issues myself and coming out the other side (while spending decades studying ancient diets and real food and natural health) I have found some simple truths that really help I wish someone had been able to tell me these truths years ago instead of having to be my own guinea pig... For those of us who really care about health and take it seriously there can be a few traps that no one tells you about.. You are an amazing girl and I have loved watching your journey... 🌺🌺🌺🌺 1. If you are eating real food, not the modern health idea of real food BUT real food in its properly prepared state than take no notice of weight. 2. stress will pour on weight due to cortisol increase which stores fat. 3. Dont get tricked into blaming harmless foods and stomping on the brakes this will just put the body out of order all over again.(check number 7 for more detail ) 4. the body acts different under stress and needs MORE food not less even when its storing food. 5. once the stress is over the body will take time to return to normal weight and any diets or sudden changes will only make it take longer. 6. one can starve weight off and have smaller measurements but still be broken , dont be fooled by measurements or weight.... go ONLY by function. 7. dont mess around with pasteurised dairy, this is NOT real food and cannot be judged as a food group, everyone is negatively effected by pasteurised dairy in some form or another. Dairy MUST be raw. the only exception that most people can handle is butter but if you can get raw butter go for it.. Dont leave butter out if you cant find raw.. For many years until I learnt how the body truly heals I thought I couldn't even handle butter.. It wasn't true.. butter was not the problem.. 8.FUNCTION FUNCTION FUNCTION.. go by function. can you walk, talk, breath, make love, eat, sleep, work, play, rest, see, feel and hear... TAKE NO NOTICE OF WEIGHT... FUNCTION is the only gage to real health... skin, hair, eyes, nails are far more reliable than weight and measurements, but FUNCTION is King...... 9. Did I mention FUNCTION 😄😄😄😄😄 10. a stressed body will outwit you at every turn until it doesn't feel stressed anymore... 11. a stressed body needs nurture, abundance and safety but views restriction as a threat. (remember this is all in the light of real food not junk food restriction) 12. remember that our world makes its money by putting impossible images up for us to view as our goals... but knowing that FUNCTION is the King will help us avoid this pressure to perform and keep our bodies in a safe environment.. Love your piano playing, such a wonderful gift you have, (I'm a musician myself)
Thankful to Bella that you have these tools to go back again and continue healing. Also to the rest of this gang- these steps are awesome and effective BBBE.
Bella, I am so proud of you and so grateful for your transparency. I’m think this is my favorite video you’ve ever done. It’s been so encouraging and inspirational and it was full of so much helpful information. I love this group of coaches so much! I will be joining the August challenge for sure 🤗
This is sooo helpful. Stress is what I am dealing with so much! I find it very interesting to hear about fasting because I have tried and it’s so hard. I can’t imagine it being easy…but to hear other people felt that way too…that’s encouraging.
Fasting gets far easier once you defeat the sugar cravings. I easily did a 4 day fast before going carnivore 7 weeks ago but I was already low carb going in. It's the guy bacteria screaming for carbs that you have to change first. You'll get there.
Your ahead of the game when u can acknowledge you have a problem...I've never been able to slowly let go of a certain food, I just cut it completely out😢 thanks for your video, Awesome❤
Thanks Bella. Great video. I am now at 13 months on Carnivore but this information will help me in getting to the next level. Appreciate your incredible videos!
I used to read about food ingredients when I started cooking for my autistic grandson, and I found out that cheese has something called casomorphin molecules, and your intestines have morphine recepters that the casomorphines fit into, which is why cheese is very addictive to some people. The gluten protein in wheat also has gluteomorphin molecules that fit into the receptors, and wheat has a molecule that fits into one of the receptors in the thyroid gland thereby blocking the molecules the thyroid needs for proper function.
Really appreciate the sharing & advice. Just ‘happened’, this episode popped up as I am scheduled to fly tomorrow to a family member at EOL (Terminal Cancer). I’ve been his legal healthcare proxy, and the stress and uncertainty has been so difficult, while working overtime as well. Thanks everyone ❤.
Was committed and on track, eating properly and feeling good since Memorial Day. Then got food poisoning July 10. Having to go off plan to try to keep some nutrition without flushing it multiple times a day with diarrhea. A diet of rice, banana, toast, applesauce is so not carnivore. Yesterday feeling better I ate small burger for dinner but that also gave me the runs. Now my system needs a full reboot. I’m with you as you get back on plan, reboot for health, and start to feel good again. Won’t be easy as now my body is craving the carbs, but my brain needs real animal proteins to heal. We can do this!!
This is amazing info. I’ve been only protein and fat for a few months. NEVER felt better. Also got my period and it lasted a normal amount of time instead of dragging on for weeks. Something in me told me to just to keep it simple as I started out… but eventually I decided to try to introduce dairy. My cravings went wild as soon as I had my first taste again. Now I’m constantly wanting cheese and Greek yogurt (and more), when before I wasn’t even feeling hungry throughout the day. It sucks but it’s clear as day that there’s a trigger/problem there for me.
Yes, I struggled w/ mozzarella cheese & yogurt too! I have stopped the cheese, but eating yogurt three times a week. 😑 yogurt stops my weight loss, but I don’t gain back weight. I suffer from high cortisol too! 😒best wishes, Bella! Cheers & Smiles! 😋🥩
The coffee won't effect you if you drink it after you eat you will lose the buzz. I don't eat breakfast. I only have coffee on a empty stomach . I don't eat any more later in the day . I have been eating one meal a day.
Omg! I needed this! I have been suffering with oxalate dumping. It took me 2 1/2 months of extreme dumping before I even discovered what a oxalate was. For the last 2 days I haven’t had to self medicate to slow the dumping. So really for a mini prime!!!!
@@janicesmith8946 oxalates are the poisons plants have to protect themselves from bugs. People can also be very sensitive to oxalates and they cause tons of problems. Search book by Sally Norton “Toxic Super Goods”. The cover shows some of the very high veggies with oxalates. It can be very complicated.
Bella, I just love this video! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story. Hope your dad is healing. It is so good to see you back. I love these coaches and how compassionate and loving they are. I have been, in the past, a part of your gang and I loved it. I was listening to myself and eating intuitively and loving it. Then… I fell off wagon - worried about losing weight trying different things in the carnivore space, but found that I was miserable. I just need fat and red meat. I was so happy in the gang - so I’m coming back in august for the challenge. Your community matters! I need the community. Missed all of you. See you soon!
thanks for sharing the before/after pics, really makes a difference to see how people have changed body in body composition and facial structure....way to go!
Great video as always! On the snacks, cheese and coffee, this may help. (The quitting coffee one is tried and true...I'll let you know on the cheese in a couple of weeks!) On the Snacks and cheese: Try making homemade jerky. You can do any type of jerky from a large variety of meats. I keep all of the fat on the jerky as I find it so tasty; just put the extra jerky with fat in the fridge to prolong it from going rancid. This may be helpful when you have cravings to grab cheese. I'm trying it this week because I too am addicted to cheese and even milk too (I'm far from perfect on this diet). The jerky is amazing though and I think it will help me and hopefully anyone who reads this! Quitting Coffee: Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. I personally had to quit because of an array of health problems caused by the caffeine in coffee that put me in the hospital with Bell's Paulsy (half of my face collapsed, it was a terrible experience with "suicide migranes" and yeah, not great). How? Let's face it, we're not addicted to decaf. It's the caffeine that causes the addiction. How I quit: I bought 2 bags of coffee, one bag of regular and the other bag of decaf. When making coffee, I used to use 4 tablespoons of coffee powder. Day 1: Use all 4 tablespoons of regular coffee. Day 2: I did 3 tablespoons of regular and then 1 tablespoon of decaf. do this on Days 3 & 4 as well so that you don't put your system in shock. Do it with all coffee sessions throughout the day since you're drinking it more than once a day. Day 5: Two tablespoons of regular caffeinated coffee and 2 tablespoons of Decaf. Do this on days 6 & 7 as well. Day 8: You guessed it, 1 tablespoon of caffeinated coffee and 3 tablespoons of decaf. Of course, do this same 1/4 mix on days 10 and 11. Day 12: You should do 4 tablespoons of decaf and do this as well on days 13 and 14. Then, if you are unable to just stop drinking decaf because of the habit, try to dial the decaf down by drinking 3/4 of a cup, then a half then just quit. Also to note on the coffee, there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, there were times that I went down to fast and adjusted by going down a teaspoon or two instead of a full tablespoon. I think my caffeine addiction was doing anything to hold on; either that or my own lack of strong will to just internally accept quitting and I was just trying to prolong my addiction and habit. Either way, I stuck to going down and it worked! You can do this with a drip coffee, bialetti, French Press and my personal old favorite the pour over! As for an espresso or nespresso machine, it might take some creativity. You might be able to buy refillable capsules that you can fill your self. Measure how much they put in and then put in your own 3/4 caf or 1/2 caf concoction. If not, switch to a method of coffee that is self measurable. You can do this, I promise! Going down slowly instead of just quitting cold turkey is very beneficial to stop the flood of migranes on top of serious cravings coming your way if you try the cold turkey route which i've done with soda and it is not a fun 2 weeks at all. If you're bent on quitting cold turkey, do it when you're drinking full on decaf! Sorry to blow up your comments with a novel. I just saw your video and I thought it might help. If not, no problem, I still love your content! You have literally helped change my life in the most positive ways and I hope I am able to help you in some way as well! Have a good one and good luck to you! =)
@@cinqueqwerty I truly hope this helps you out! One thing for sure, my sleep quality improved 10 fold after quitting coffee; maybe it can do the same for you! Not to mention a huge decrease in anxiousness throughout the day! Best of luck to you!
This is giving me hope! That you as the leader is reaching out for ideas and support from the gang somehow makes me feel better:) Have frozen precooked bacon in the freezer, made with no nitrates, and no sugar,. It is a great snack and the best when I crave something I am trying to avoid. Not sure if you are also wanting to avoid bacon. Bless you for taking care of your Dad. I am amazed you were able to do as well with the carnivore way of eating as you did in China under so much stress:)
Hi, I’m a 63-year-old male been on and off keto for the past couple of years and have lost weight, as much as 50 pounds however, I went carnivore fairly strict three months ago with the hopes of losing another 15 to 20 pounds however there’s been no weight loss so far. I feel great by the way.
I never associated my love for cheese with my recent bout with Sciatica. I am currently doing rolling 48s (all red meat carnivore for now) and I have not had any leg or hip pain. I hope I can reintroduce cheese in my diet down the road. I love ❤️ cheese.
This was so interesting to listen to. Thank you all. I'm mostly carnivore and do intermittent fasting, even some multi day fasts. I love fasting. I would love to learn more about priming but $30/month isn't in the budget right now. Im recovering from a stroke and hubby is off work looking after me. If/when funds allow, id love to join. :)
I'm so glad Im seeing this now. I'm only six weeks carnivore but my son just had surgery and as I've been caring for him, I knew I needed to eat all the calories and comfort foods I was craving, so I turned to yogurt and cheese. But some symptoms are coming back, time to cut it out again!
Learning a lot, just by watching here now. I almost feel I'm there and like I'm getting to know these coaches! Yes, I will be joining someday soon, but in the meantime, I've been putting a lot into practice. Thanks so much!
Wow, what an awesome video Bella. Thank you so much for sharing this!! So much useful information and just like Coach Raymond said, this was a wealthy resource for beginners and veterans alike And you are so humble Bella, a seasoned carnivore veteran like your self, acknowledging your need for guidance because even the pros continue to learn throughout their lives. The best of them never stop learning. I am looking forward to following the progress I am sure you will be achieving.
Regarding cheese, I only allow myself a little Roquefort that I add to butter and an egg yolk for a super simple cheese sauce (for anything). You can't really binge on Roquefort! 😂
Glad you shared Bella, and thank you coaches. Some things to consider. The other day I realised something. 8 years ago, my GP did tests and found I was lactose intolerant. The test also show I had sugar malabsorbtion. I never put the 2 together until the other day. Since eating carnivore, I have been eating dairy and not had too much problem. Also, if I do feel like something sweet, I have dairy over the sweet, but the Lactose is sugar, so because my body can't actually absorb sugars, that is why I shouldn't have dairy. Although it is the less of 2 evils, it's still a food I need to avoid. I can say, I am not addicted to dairy, it has become a habit I need to break and it would answer why I still am having tummy issues. My challenge for my Carniversary next week is, eating ONLY meat, eggs and salt. No dairy, coffee or tea.
My struggles are with sugar free items like candy and soda frozen yogurt. I'm keto leaning to carnivore for 5 years now but still haven't conquered the sweets.
I feel you gwenj, my guilty pleasure sugar, carbs!!! Even today, I still think about and crave the past. Notice my name 'granny baker'. My last name isn't Baker, but I lived to bake: cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, cinnamon rolls, made fudge, sweet anything & everything. Don't do it anymore, but don't think that desire for it will ever go away, even knowing it means the road to disease and poor health!!! I pray strength for us in our times of weakness 🙏🙏🙏
Yep! I’m a sugar free chocoholic but it leads to wanting other things that aren’t good for me. I want to get off the roller coaster and get serious about carnivore….
Pretty strict carnivore but gaining instead of losing. However Dr Berry says that’s pretty normal. I am getting smaller so I guess it’s ok but I sure would love to see 145 on the scale 😭
I've actually gained 20 lb. My gut is so big, I can hardly tie my shoes. I am not strict Carnivore though as I am doing some fruit and dairy. But even when I was strict Carnivore, I wasn't losing any weight either. And I felt groggy all the time, that's why I added fruit back in.
@@SteakandButterGal I’ll be following your meals❤️ I’m a cheese lover also. I am 70 years young lost 150 pounds off over 10 medications had every health issues found out what carbs do!! Been keto / carnivore almost 6 years I still need to lose 30 pounds I have Hashimoto’s and skin issues. Thank You for all you do and share with all of us. 🙏❤️
Hi Bella. Thank you so much. I, too, am in a situation where my body fat has accumulated and I do not feel optimum. The scale reads very little weight gain but my clothes do not fit. I don’t eat dairy but I think it’s slow metabolism. You are an inspiration and I’m keen to glean & utilize tips from your journey ❤️
One important point about processed food and stress, (mental, emotional, physical, injury, illness, spiritual) - all of it dramatically INCREASES nutrient need. It is not just less nutrients available. Processed food is a big stress itself. It takes a lot nutrients, like thiamine and choline and magnesium, etc, for the body to get rid if all. Love the sleep and calm and peaceful breathing advice.
I am swelling an awful lot when I start my period every month I have gone up 10 even 20 lbs. Sometimes after I start I drop a good amount weight, sometimes I don't. I also had gastric bypass surgery in February.
I love cheese and i don't think I have a problem with it. I feel like I don't eat enough on carnivore and cheese opens up my appetite which is a good thing especially with the fact that I'm going into weighlifting and need to be on a calorie surplass to gain weight. It is just a better to go with the raw cheeses. I also try not to over do it because of my history with acnee but other than that I am superglad that its carnivore. If I feel like I have some negative side effects I can remove it from the diet and see how I feel.
I struggled so much with this diet, but steak and butter gal makes it look so do-able. I lasted 29 days and I’m learning more about it. I was doing it to lose weight and gain mental health. I can’t do most dairy but cheese here n there. I was also on a major budget. But I was rarely hungry and ate very little. I didn’t lose any, but no bloat and I had serious bloat and it wasn’t sustainable to go as long as five months. Why does it look so enjoyable and easy?? Anyone else here struggling it?
I am absolutely so enthusiastic about this month, although my greatest struggle is crossing the starting line. I am British but live IN China!!! Ive been here for eight years. So my mum recommended your channel to me (she is a keto carnivore queen) and Im so, so excited to learn more from you!!
I was strict keto for over 3 years, and then it took only one dessert over the holidays that brought back my sugar cravings. I am NOT a moderator, and need to abstain. Always looking for motivation to stay on track. Learning more about carnivore.
Love this episode. Watching the grandkids for the summer has messed my meals and exercise up. I'm disappointed the sugar cravings were back. I can now see how to get back on track in August. I do try having carnivore meals one meal at a time to at least practice the lifestyle while off. I drink the unflavored LMNT. It tastes like sea water. I wish the flavored ones didn't have any carbs, but at least they help with transitioning and keeping the headaches at bay
When you consume the inflammatory foods especially when you have gut issues your lower back will be under stress as all organs and glands are directed into electrical potentialities that destined and move to the localized areas of issues somatically. Good on this lady for understanding and moving into better health.
Just finished my last dose, 2000mg antibiotics x10 days. During this time knowing I'm going to be building my health back up from scratch, i did some n=1. 1st ER dr days no meat, dh said i needed to change my eating, going for my follow up with my PCP tomorrow. My results surprised me. Things that are inflammatory, triggered migraines, caused bloating, water retention and histamine dump.. I'm sooo looking forward to NY strip, pork ribs, fatty pork tenderlion( it's not misspelled 😂 my son called it flat chicken when he was tiny, then tenderlion❤) . I have 2#of Amish butter thawing waiting for my eggs, sausage, bacon. Sardines Fri Sa Su (ick but i know i need them) Will hit Aldi's after my appt, my local grocer had as great sale on beef. I'm a buy cheap, prep (portion pstties, cook meatballs, meatloaf) freeze kind of gal. I get my veg by osmosis. I spent years thinking i couldn't process meat, yes, IKR😊. Will be making Wendy's bagels. I'm looking for a good noodle recipe so see experiments come soon in my test kitchen.
Just started eating ground beef 80/20 after doing just ribeye for three weeks straight and it’s helping me feel better throughout the day not sure why but just wanted to share if this helps someone I’m on week three carnivore and my weight loss has stalled
Im having the most difficult times with carnivore diet. I’m gaining so much weight and my glucose revels have sky rocked. I love this diet, I’ve been on it 7 weeks but I’m afraid I will have to quit because things are going south 😢I only eat, beef eggs and pork belly. I don’t eat dairy. Once a week I eat some onions and jalapeños.
After listening to you all, I guess it’s a good thing cheese is not a big deal for me. Other than putting a slice on my hamburger once in a while, I can take it or leave it.
I fell for the just a little diary thing. I ate 2 cartons of Rebel keto ice cream, throughout this past weekend and week. I learned the hard way. Stiff and soreness came back with a vengence! I think that this is a lesson well learned now that definitely I have a histamine reaction to the sugar alcohols and not so pure ingredients in those products. I find the longer I am from having eaten them. I THOUGHT that I had caught the flu! That's how congested and awful I felt Tuesday through Thursday. Then I realized the longer I went clean eating again? The more the symptoms disappeared overnight. I'm still slighty congested this morning, but feeling better every day I stay clean eating. So it's very unlikely I will slip up in that way again! It was awful feeling like that again.
Wait, is butter one of the foods that caused “fat” gain? (It seems to me on the intro picture) Can someone tell me where butter is discussed in the video I must have missed it, Thanks.
I gave up dairy, lost 7 kg, in a month while biking (it also made me sting) “ used to eat a kilo of greek yogur and for my second de meal: butter, dairy, milk. Now i eat one meal a day mostly.
The three main electrolytes are sodium (Na+), chloride (Cl-) and potassium (K+). These are minerals that we consume in compound form, which dissolve in water and exist as ions in the body.
Interesting. I always heard it was sodium, potassium, and magnesium that are the main electrolytes. I drink LMNT on occasion. I never thought to look for something with chloride.
I’m excited to start this game plan! 😁 if you have questions, comment them!

Relatively new to carnivore 7 weeks but i do eat Thai chillies about 6 or 7.I am seeing great results atm but how much could this effect my weight loss in the future? The rest is strictly carnivore btw
I signed up too! So excited about it!
@@bythebeachfulsee you soon 🎉
@@yetti399it should be fine! As long as it’s not seasoned with sauces and marinades.
Yep, I'm having cheese issues right now. Cutting it out. Still loosing weight, but very slowly. I have a long way to go to reverse 30+ years of chronic disease!
You’re doing everything right ❤
Me to , bought a 5lb bag of cheddar cheese , been putting it on my eggs 😂😂
No dairy whatsoever including no ghee- has been key to my gut health & healing AI AS arthritis; along with no grains, no stevia, no vegetables except Olives, artichokes & sort of -butter lettuce but bloating.

What is IF?
I use dairy as an aid. I can feel more inflamed but have given myself the ability to choose. Heavy whipping cream is a treat for me when my family had ice cream. I add to decaf coffee...and this has kept me on track. In all other areas I have no problems. I have lost 35 pounds and have another 100 to go. This self tolerance and balance has made me successful right now. As my journey continues, I have the ability to update as needed. #self-love
You have no idea how much your courage, honesty, and openness to share you struggles has inspired me! It’s easy to brush it under the rug and keep going but you took the time to be vulnerable AND come up with clear steps to get better. I learn so much from you. Can’t wait to follow along 🙌🏾
Thank you so much! 🙏❤️❤️
OMG THANK YOU Bella. I’ve been struggling as my mother has late stage Alzheimer’s and has been struggling with daily crying/distress and my father who is her primary caregiver just got diagnosed with cancer last month. I can 100% relate with how the stress and emotionality of this type of situation can so easily throw us off our track. I have struggled with guilt, sadness, distress and even letting all of it filter down to my relationship with my partner. I have definitely gained weight and struggled despite trying to stay mostly carnivore…I’ve had good days and really really bad days too. I am following your journey closely as it so mimics mine. Thank you for giving voice to this reality that we all confront at one time or another in our lives. Really really needed that. ❤
I’m helping my mother with dementia as well. Trying to be a support for my dad too. I keep running back to beef and eggs. I feel so satiated eating this way even through so much stress.
Jamie, my heart goes out to you 💔 💓 stay strong 💪 🙏
I am praying for you that you receive healing in mind and body to get you through this period in your life, Bless you, and regards from Yorkshire England
I was helping my Mom with Alzheimer, I had to move in with her, she passed last month. I have multiple sclerosis, pretty advanced stage myself, so it wasn’t easy. But what can you do…. Take care, warm wishes
Sorry to hear about your mother having alzheimer's
The research shows that people who take staten drugs get Alzheimer's and dementia.
I'm an abstainer too! 100% is easier than "half-assing" anything. You have a truly wonderful team at your side. We often learn self-compassion from others who love us. We learn to be self-compassionate from the compassion they gift to us. My 2 cents as a nutritionist, anyone would have gained weight or felt puffy from everything you've been through even if they had clean carnivore foods available because of the emotional roller coaster. Stress & Cortisol alone can do this to us. It's time to treat yourself with the kindness, compassion & knowledge with which you coach others. 🥰 One last note: You did it before; you can do it again! You got this!!! 🤗💖
I fell off the wagon for a couple of months and now I am struggling to stay away from the breaded foods. The foods that have sugar and ice cream and such. I did super great for 4 months and I felt super great and healed from almost everything. And I had a lot of health problems. I have stopped the dairies: cheese, milk and yoghurt. I realised it caused me to crave chips and sodas and such. Now I am at the point that I just give in to cookies. And I definitely feel the acid reflux, gassy, bloating and sternum pain. Now I basically have ground beef and eggs in the morning. I do tell myself that I am going to regret it. Now I am at the point that I am emerging myself in as many Carnivore videos as possible to flip the switch back to totally carnivore again. Thank you for this information. It does help.
@carmenhogan8879: Been there; it's hard to get back on track. But if you can stay away from the cookies for a few days, you'll lose the cravings. I often miss the CRUNCH of cookies, so this is what I did: cleaned a bunch of radishes, put them in a canning jar, filled with bottled water, and put inside the fridge. A cold, crunchy radish really satisfies my need for a crispy chew.
"Dr. Ken Berry" and "Go Keto with Casey" have good videos too.
Best wishes for your success, Carmen.
I did the same thing with beer… last year in a half. I’m now done with beer because I started another Fast followed by Carnivore.
@@christophersantrizos1657I am craving beer. I always loved beer with steak
The lactones in dairy can bring us so much comfort because it is a cellular reminder of the “bliss of infancy”. It’s hard to quit if you’re under stress. Once you finally kick the habit your body will thank you! I still eat raw cheese and raw yogurt but no more processed dairy, creamer, ice cream, soft serves or milkshakes. I’m free! 🎉
Does this apply to all dairy?
@@billiee7244yes, all dairy has lactones- that is where the creamy flavor and smooth texture come from.
When I was nursing my son, he'd always get this beatific look on his face afterwards (no other way to describe it). I wondered what the heck was going on here and tasted my own milk - it tasted EXACTLY LIKE WARM VANILLA ICE CREAM, only even sweeter. Much sweeter, more sugar, than cow's milk. The 'vanilla' component was marked for some reason, even though it's not like I was eating vanilla anything to flavor my own milk... this explains why vanilla ice cream is by far the most popular flavor!
Thanks for sharing that! So interesting.
I think it's the casomorphin that makes dairy so addictive.
Oh, dear Everybody In This Video: God bless you! This was so beautiful!
Bella, the humility and strength! Ugh! Chefs kiss!
Coaches! Amazing empathy and sympathy!
It was such a joy to watch and so incredibly informative! I was saying to my husband that it's the perfect first video to send to people ready to start Carnivore.
God bless you all, and God bless anyone reading this right now. May we all heal, thrive and have the life that is worthy of our hearts.
Thank You I agree
Still loving this woe and not tired of meat butter egg and sardines. Love that I can eat when hungry and lose weight. Lost 25 pounds and still losing
Amazing! Congrats 🎉
THANK YOU for your transparency!! J almost gave up bc I fell off of the wagon and felt I'm just hopeless...then I saw this video!! I'm starting over again!!!❤❤❤
This was such a fantastic episode … thank Bella fir being so vulnerable and honest that your audience CRAVES to hear … we all have our own issues and challenges and listening to you and the coaches is invaluable!!! 💕🥰💕
I’m so glad you enjoyed this episode ❤
I really want to join your community … DONE!! 💕❤️💕
@8:39 That’s funny, I been eating cheese lately and my lower back pain came back. When I was only eating meats it disappeared. Now I know.👍
Thank you Bella for allowing yourself to be vulnerable and showing away that we can get over our craving/addictions. Thanks to your videos and going carnivore I have lost over 100 ponds and still going, my anxiety is gone, high blood pressure gone, and i have tons of energy now.
🎉 congratulations ❤
Best video ever! I love Bella’s openness and the loving kindness of the coaches! 😍😍😍😍
You are so kind! Thank you ❤
For myself carnivore for 7 weeks now Started at 422lbs now 398lbs I find that a piece of cheese as a dessert just completes the meal for me but if i ever get a stall ill ditch the cheese as for now I really enjoy my dairy minus milk. Btw trie Dr Saladinos diet plan for 6 weeks prior even cut down to 2 pieces of fruit a day 0 weight loss but no gain either. It wasn't until i went almost 0 carb and OMAD that i started to see results.
Same here, OMAD is so powerful to lower that pesky insulin that holds onto weight. Black coffee in AM, Big steak with butter for dinner, equals weight loss. My body has enough fat to live off of for a while. 😊❤
@@karaleeann1211 I also drink a lot of black coffee through out the day and only water at night. I do use spices and the only plant i consume is Thai chillies about 6 at a time occasionally I love spicy but I also know that last 5% could make all the difference later in my journey. Good luck on your journey and look forward to reading the comments.
@@yetti399How you going 1 year later?
Having been through several extreme health and stress issues myself and coming out the other side (while spending decades studying ancient diets and real food and natural health) I have found some simple truths that really help
I wish someone had been able to tell me these truths years ago instead of having to be my own guinea pig... For those of us who really care about health and take it seriously there can be a few traps that no one tells you about.. You are an amazing girl and I have loved watching your journey... 🌺🌺🌺🌺
1. If you are eating real food, not the modern health idea of real food BUT real food in its properly prepared state than take no notice of weight.
2. stress will pour on weight due to cortisol increase which stores fat.
3. Dont get tricked into blaming harmless foods and stomping on the brakes this will just put the body out of order all over again.(check number 7 for more detail )
4. the body acts different under stress and needs MORE food not less even when its storing food.
5. once the stress is over the body will take time to return to normal weight and any diets or sudden changes will only make it take longer.
6. one can starve weight off and have smaller measurements but still be broken , dont be fooled by measurements or weight.... go ONLY by function.
7. dont mess around with pasteurised dairy, this is NOT real food and cannot be judged as a food group, everyone is negatively effected by pasteurised dairy in some form or another. Dairy MUST be raw. the only exception that most people can handle is butter but if you can get raw butter go for it.. Dont leave butter out if you cant find raw.. For many years until I learnt how the body truly heals I thought I couldn't even handle butter.. It wasn't true.. butter was not the problem..
8.FUNCTION FUNCTION FUNCTION.. go by function. can you walk, talk, breath, make love, eat, sleep, work, play, rest, see, feel and hear... TAKE NO NOTICE OF WEIGHT... FUNCTION is the only gage to real health... skin, hair, eyes, nails are far more reliable than weight and measurements, but FUNCTION is King......
9. Did I mention FUNCTION 😄😄😄😄😄
10. a stressed body will outwit you at every turn until it doesn't feel stressed anymore...
11. a stressed body needs nurture, abundance and safety but views restriction as a threat. (remember this is all in the light of real food not junk food restriction)
12. remember that our world makes its money by putting impossible images up for us to view as our goals... but knowing that FUNCTION is the King will help us avoid this pressure to perform and keep our bodies in a safe environment..
Love your piano playing, such a wonderful gift you have, (I'm a musician myself)
Very nice, thank you
Thankful to Bella that you have these tools to go back again and continue healing. Also to the rest of this gang- these steps are awesome and effective BBBE.
Thank you Susie ❤ See you soon!
Bella, I am so proud of you and so grateful for your transparency. I’m think this is my favorite video you’ve ever done. It’s been so encouraging and inspirational and it was full of so much helpful information. I love this group of coaches so much! I will be joining the August challenge for sure 🤗
Wow thank you, Rachel !!! See you soon!
This is sooo helpful. Stress is what I am dealing with so much! I find it very interesting to hear about fasting because I have tried and it’s so hard. I can’t imagine it being easy…but to hear other people felt that way too…that’s encouraging.
Fasting gets far easier once you defeat the sugar cravings. I easily did a 4 day fast before going carnivore 7 weeks ago but I was already low carb going in. It's the guy bacteria screaming for carbs that you have to change first. You'll get there.
Your ahead of the game when u can acknowledge you have a problem...I've never been able to slowly let go of a certain food, I just cut it completely out😢 thanks for your video, Awesome❤
Just finished the episode it was fantastic. So many golden nuggets that I will carry in my mind whenever I want to comfort way!!!!

Thanks Bella. Great video. I am now at 13 months on Carnivore but this information will help me in getting to the next level. Appreciate your incredible videos!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck ❤
It is so reassuring to know we ALL NEED ADVICE sometimes! I APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO
You are looking radiant! I love your glow!
Amazing!
Oh thank you!
@@SteakandButterGalyou look great. Beautiful healthy glow
I used to read about food ingredients when I started cooking for my autistic grandson, and I found out that cheese has something called casomorphin molecules, and your intestines have morphine recepters that the casomorphines fit into, which is why cheese is very addictive to some people. The gluten protein in wheat also has gluteomorphin molecules that fit into the receptors, and wheat has a molecule that fits into one of the receptors in the thyroid gland thereby blocking the molecules the thyroid needs for proper function.
Really appreciate the sharing & advice. Just ‘happened’, this episode popped up as I am scheduled to fly tomorrow to a family member at EOL
(Terminal Cancer). I’ve been his legal healthcare proxy, and the stress and uncertainty has been so difficult, while working overtime as well. Thanks everyone ❤.
Was committed and on track, eating properly and feeling good since Memorial Day. Then got food poisoning July 10. Having to go off plan to try to keep some nutrition without flushing it multiple times a day with diarrhea. A diet of rice, banana, toast, applesauce is so not carnivore. Yesterday feeling better I ate small burger for dinner but that also gave me the runs. Now my system needs a full reboot. I’m with you as you get back on plan, reboot for health, and start to feel good again. Won’t be easy as now my body is craving the carbs, but my brain needs real animal proteins to heal. We can do this!!
This is amazing info. I’ve been only protein and fat for a few months. NEVER felt better. Also got my period and it lasted a normal amount of time instead of dragging on for weeks. Something in me told me to just to keep it simple as I started out… but eventually I decided to try to introduce dairy. My cravings went wild as soon as I had my first taste again. Now I’m constantly wanting cheese and Greek yogurt (and more), when before I wasn’t even feeling hungry throughout the day. It sucks but it’s clear as day that there’s a trigger/problem there for me.
Soo inspiring! Helping me mentally prepare myself to begin again. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable with us. 💜
I’m so happy! Keep me posted. ❤
Thank you Bella and your guest Raymond, Emily and Sally. This explains so much and will help with this information and reminders to.
Yes, I struggled w/ mozzarella cheese & yogurt too! I have stopped the cheese, but eating yogurt three times a week. 😑 yogurt stops my weight loss, but I don’t gain back weight. I suffer from high cortisol too! 😒best wishes, Bella! Cheers & Smiles! 😋🥩
Thank you for sharing Bella, and thank you coaches for all the tips! Seriously, I'm appreciating this whole thing so much.
So happy you're back Bella 😊😊😊 and will be joining the SBG monthly group again ❤
Miss you and can’t wait to see you again ❤🎉
I need help with my addiction and get my mind on eating right! Thank you Bella for sharing your journey and helping us with our journey. ❤
The coffee thing is wild! I have been drinking black coffee on empty stomach for 10+ years. I only eat at lunch and dinner. Full carnivore.
It’s probably an individual thing. If it works for you then it’s fine!
The coffee won't effect you if you drink it after you eat you will lose the buzz. I don't eat breakfast. I only have coffee on a empty stomach . I don't eat any more later in the day . I have been eating one meal a day.
Coffee blocks hunger signals so it’s easy to underwater
Undereat
@@vitocorleone8323 That’s cool! RIP Dr. Atkins. His books also changed my life :)
Omg! I needed this! I have been suffering with oxalate dumping. It took me 2 1/2 months of extreme dumping before I even discovered what a oxalate was. For the last 2 days I haven’t had to self medicate to slow the dumping. So really for a mini prime!!!!
What is oxalate dumping
@@janicesmith8946 oxalates are the poisons plants have to protect themselves from bugs. People can also be very sensitive to oxalates and they cause tons of problems. Search book by Sally Norton “Toxic Super Goods”. The cover shows some of the very high veggies with oxalates. It can be very complicated.
Waw what an honest and informative video.. ' golden nuggets ' for sure 👌 thank you.. prayers from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦
Bella, I just love this video! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story. Hope your dad is healing. It is so good to see you back. I love these coaches and how compassionate and loving they are. I have been, in the past, a part of your gang and I loved it. I was listening to myself and eating intuitively and loving it. Then… I fell off wagon - worried about losing weight trying different things in the carnivore space, but found that I was miserable. I just need fat and red meat. I was so happy in the gang - so I’m coming back in august for the challenge. Your community matters! I need the community. Missed all of you. See you soon!
All of you represent the best of the carnivore community! Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Yaaay when I see Bella I click 🫡🫡🫡
🙏🥰
Same here! 😊
I am learning to choose my thoughts. Thoughts control my feelings, which controls my behavior, which brings the outcome
thanks for sharing the before/after pics, really makes a difference to see how people have changed body in body composition and facial structure....way to go!
Great video as always!
On the snacks, cheese and coffee, this may help. (The quitting coffee one is tried and true...I'll let you know on the cheese in a couple of weeks!)
On the Snacks and cheese:
Try making homemade jerky. You can do any type of jerky from a large variety of meats. I keep all of the fat on the jerky as I find it so tasty; just put the extra jerky with fat in the fridge to prolong it from going rancid. This may be helpful when you have cravings to grab cheese. I'm trying it this week because I too am addicted to cheese and even milk too (I'm far from perfect on this diet). The jerky is amazing though and I think it will help me and hopefully anyone who reads this!
Quitting Coffee:
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
I personally had to quit because of an array of health problems caused by the caffeine in coffee that put me in the hospital with Bell's Paulsy (half of my face collapsed, it was a terrible experience with "suicide migranes" and yeah, not great).
How?
Let's face it, we're not addicted to decaf. It's the caffeine that causes the addiction.
How I quit:
I bought 2 bags of coffee, one bag of regular and the other bag of decaf.
When making coffee, I used to use 4 tablespoons of coffee powder.
Day 1: Use all 4 tablespoons of regular coffee.
Day 2: I did 3 tablespoons of regular and then 1 tablespoon of decaf. do this on Days 3 & 4 as well so that you don't put your system in shock. Do it with all coffee sessions throughout the day since you're drinking it more than once a day.
Day 5: Two tablespoons of regular caffeinated coffee and 2 tablespoons of Decaf. Do this on days 6 & 7 as well.
Day 8: You guessed it, 1 tablespoon of caffeinated coffee and 3 tablespoons of decaf. Of course, do this same 1/4 mix on days 10 and 11.
Day 12: You should do 4 tablespoons of decaf and do this as well on days 13 and 14. Then, if you are unable to just stop drinking decaf because of the habit, try to dial the decaf down by drinking 3/4 of a cup, then a half then just quit.
Also to note on the coffee, there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, there were times that I went down to fast and adjusted by going down a teaspoon or two instead of a full tablespoon. I think my caffeine addiction was doing anything to hold on; either that or my own lack of strong will to just internally accept quitting and I was just trying to prolong my addiction and habit. Either way, I stuck to going down and it worked!
You can do this with a drip coffee, bialetti, French Press and my personal old favorite the pour over!
As for an espresso or nespresso machine, it might take some creativity. You might be able to buy refillable capsules that you can fill your self. Measure how much they put in and then put in your own 3/4 caf or 1/2 caf concoction. If not, switch to a method of coffee that is self measurable. You can do this, I promise!
Going down slowly instead of just quitting cold turkey is very beneficial to stop the flood of migranes on top of serious cravings coming your way if you try the cold turkey route which i've done with soda and it is not a fun 2 weeks at all. If you're bent on quitting cold turkey, do it when you're drinking full on decaf!
Sorry to blow up your comments with a novel. I just saw your video and I thought it might help. If not, no problem, I still love your content! You have literally helped change my life in the most positive ways and I hope I am able to help you in some way as well!
Have a good one and good luck to you! =)
Thank you Thank you❤ I have really hard time with coffee…
@@cinqueqwerty I truly hope this helps you out! One thing for sure, my sleep quality improved 10 fold after quitting coffee; maybe it can do the same for you! Not to mention a huge decrease in anxiousness throughout the day! Best of luck to you!
This is giving me hope! That you as the leader is reaching out for ideas and support from the gang somehow makes me feel better:) Have frozen precooked bacon in the freezer, made with no nitrates, and no sugar,. It is a great snack and the best when I crave something I am trying to avoid. Not sure if you are also wanting to avoid bacon. Bless you for taking care of your Dad. I am amazed you were able to do as well with the carnivore way of eating as you did in China under so much stress:)
Hi, I’m a 63-year-old male been on and off keto for the past couple of years and have lost weight, as much as 50 pounds however, I went carnivore fairly strict three months ago with the hopes of losing another 15 to 20 pounds however there’s been no weight loss so far. I feel great by the way.
I love that Bella ASKS for advice from her coaches 💕
I love how honest you've been. Welcome back x
I never associated my love for cheese with my recent bout with Sciatica. I am currently doing rolling 48s (all red meat carnivore for now) and I have not had any leg or hip pain. I hope I can reintroduce cheese in my diet down the road. I love ❤️ cheese.
Ugh! Same
Maybe u won’t love it as much when u try it again
I’ve found that with other things
This was so interesting to listen to. Thank you all.
I'm mostly carnivore and do intermittent fasting, even some multi day fasts. I love fasting.
I would love to learn more about priming but $30/month isn't in the budget right now. Im recovering from a stroke and hubby is off work looking after me. If/when funds allow, id love to join. :)
I wish I could afford it too. Circumstances just don’t allow right now. But I NEEEED more info…🥲
I'm so glad Im seeing this now. I'm only six weeks carnivore but my son just had surgery and as I've been caring for him, I knew I needed to eat all the calories and comfort foods I was craving, so I turned to yogurt and cheese. But some symptoms are coming back, time to cut it out again!
Learning a lot, just by watching here now. I almost feel I'm there and like I'm getting to know these coaches! Yes, I will be joining someday soon, but in the meantime, I've been putting a lot into practice. Thanks so much!
You're very eloquent, no verbal static at all. Same as SAB guy:)
off topic 😊
Wow, what an awesome video Bella. Thank you so much for sharing this!! So much useful information and just like Coach Raymond said, this was a wealthy resource for beginners and veterans alike And you are so humble Bella, a seasoned carnivore veteran like your self, acknowledging your need for guidance because even the pros continue to learn throughout their lives. The best of them never stop learning. I am looking forward to following the progress I am sure you will be achieving.
Regarding cheese, I only allow myself a little Roquefort that I add to butter and an egg yolk for a super simple cheese sauce (for anything). You can't really binge on Roquefort! 😂
Glad you shared Bella, and thank you coaches. Some things to consider.
The other day I realised something. 8 years ago, my GP did tests and found I was lactose intolerant. The test also show I had sugar malabsorbtion. I never put the 2 together until the other day. Since eating carnivore, I have been eating dairy and not had too much problem. Also, if I do feel like something sweet, I have dairy over the sweet, but the Lactose is sugar, so because my body can't actually absorb sugars, that is why I shouldn't have dairy. Although it is the less of 2 evils, it's still a food I need to avoid. I can say, I am not addicted to dairy, it has become a habit I need to break and it would answer why I still am having tummy issues.
My challenge for my Carniversary next week is, eating ONLY meat, eggs and salt. No dairy, coffee or tea.
Loved what you all said about the coffee ☕️ I think I’m addicted bc I can’t start my day until I drink it……..
My struggles are with sugar free items like candy and soda frozen yogurt. I'm keto leaning to carnivore for 5 years now but still haven't conquered the sweets.
I feel you gwenj, my guilty pleasure sugar, carbs!!! Even today, I still think about and crave the past. Notice my name 'granny baker'. My last name isn't Baker, but I lived to bake: cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, cinnamon rolls, made fudge, sweet anything & everything. Don't do it anymore, but don't think that desire for it will ever go away, even knowing it means the road to disease and poor health!!! I pray strength for us in our times of weakness 🙏🙏🙏
@@grannybaker6281Same
Yep! I’m a sugar free chocoholic but it leads to wanting other things that aren’t good for me. I want to get off the roller coaster and get serious about carnivore….
Same!
There's nothing better than feeling supported, inspired and understood 😘
Heartful wonderful coaches❤ Love them all ❤
Pretty strict carnivore but gaining instead of losing. However Dr Berry says that’s pretty normal. I am getting smaller so I guess it’s ok but I sure would love to see 145 on the scale 😭
I've been doing Carnivore for a year now, and gained weight 😢
Oh wow I’ve been doing it for 30 days and haven’t lost any weight or inches.
I’m in my 4th month
Zero fat loss
Pants are a bit looser. That’s it. I ain’t no wgt lifter either lol
I've actually gained 20 lb.
My gut is so big, I can hardly tie my shoes.
I am not strict Carnivore though as I am doing some fruit and dairy.
But even when I was strict Carnivore, I wasn't losing any weight either.
And I felt groggy all the time, that's why I added fruit back in.
@@TheFreakonate tx for that. I really don’t want to be putting on weight
When I run out of coffee this time the heavy whipping cream, cheese and coffee are all gone from the diet.
Really enjoyed this podcast
I would love to have these coaches.
Glad you enjoyed it! Pamela, you can meet them in my community. Email me for the free invite : sbgchallenge@gmail.com
Thank you Bella for sharing, and for the coaches! It is a beautiful, powerfull video!
Good afternoon from Copperhill Tn. It's great to hear your voice again.
July is my birthday month and I'm so excited I finally committed to joining a 30 day challenge! 🎉
Woohoo we will see you soon❤
I wish you would talk more about Priming very helpful ❤
I would be more than happy to and most likely will since I’ll be documenting my priming journey.
@@SteakandButterGal I’ll be following your meals❤️ I’m a cheese lover also. I am 70 years young lost 150 pounds off over 10 medications had every health issues found out what carbs do!! Been keto / carnivore almost 6 years I still need to lose 30 pounds I have Hashimoto’s and skin issues. Thank You for all you do and share with all of us. 🙏❤️
Hi Bella. Thank you so much. I, too, am in a situation where my body fat has accumulated and I do not feel optimum. The scale reads very little weight gain but my clothes do not fit. I don’t eat dairy but I think it’s slow metabolism. You are an inspiration and I’m keen to glean & utilize tips from your journey ❤️
What a beautiful team, you four!
One important point about processed food and stress, (mental, emotional, physical, injury, illness, spiritual) - all of it dramatically INCREASES nutrient need. It is not just less nutrients available. Processed food is a big stress itself. It takes a lot nutrients, like thiamine and choline and magnesium, etc, for the body to get rid if all. Love the sleep and calm and peaceful breathing advice.
Bella, don’t even ’buy’ cheese in ur house, don’t even have it in ur fridge for a while.
(Sometimes I do Unsalted RAW cheese, organic)
I need to do this. I’m addicted because there’s always cheese in the fridge
I’ve signed up for august after listening. Very excited to prime and fast
Been on carnivore for 6 weeks. I feel great, have lost 16 lbs, clothes fit better but my liver enzymes are up.
I have given up coffee and it has not affected me and I’m so glad. I was drinking 4 to 8 cups a day before.
Oh my gosh Bella...I just went through lower back pain, with my left hip pain too. This shiw really helped me 🎉
I am swelling an awful lot when I start my period every month I have gone up 10 even 20 lbs. Sometimes after I start I drop a good amount weight, sometimes I don't. I also had gastric bypass surgery in February.
I love cheese and i don't think I have a problem with it. I feel like I don't eat enough on carnivore and cheese opens up my appetite which is a good thing especially with the fact that I'm going into weighlifting and need to be on a calorie surplass to gain weight. It is just a better to go with the raw cheeses. I also try not to over do it because of my history with acnee but other than that I am superglad that its carnivore. If I feel like I have some negative side effects I can remove it from the diet and see how I feel.
I struggled so much with this diet, but steak and butter gal makes it look so do-able. I lasted 29 days and I’m learning more about it. I was doing it to lose weight and gain mental health. I can’t do most dairy but cheese here n there. I was also on a major budget. But I was rarely hungry and ate very little. I didn’t lose any, but no bloat and I had serious bloat and it wasn’t sustainable to go as long as five months. Why does it look so enjoyable and easy?? Anyone else here struggling it?
You look so radiant and healthy Bella. That alone is a testimony to your WOE.
Oh great my bday month as well. I really need to join in on the August challenge 🎉❤
See you soon, Sandy!!!!❤
I am absolutely so enthusiastic about this month, although my greatest struggle is crossing the starting line. I am British but live IN China!!! Ive been here for eight years. So my mum recommended your channel to me (she is a keto carnivore queen) and Im so, so excited to learn more from you!!
When I first did keto i would eat so much cheese/dairy in general and wondered why I wasn't losing weight 🥲😂
I was strict keto for over 3 years, and then it took only one dessert over the holidays that brought back my sugar cravings. I am NOT a moderator, and need to abstain. Always looking for motivation to stay on track. Learning more about carnivore.
My weight is constantly fluctuating, I can't seem to keep the weight off long-term. 😢
How long you’ve been carnivore for?
Eat more fat. I lost 25 pounds and still losing
Love this episode. Watching the grandkids for the summer has messed my meals and exercise up. I'm disappointed the sugar cravings were back. I can now see how to get back on track in August. I do try having carnivore meals one meal at a time to at least practice the lifestyle while off. I drink the unflavored LMNT. It tastes like sea water. I wish the flavored ones didn't have any carbs, but at least they help with transitioning and keeping the headaches at bay
girl your skin always looks perfect
When you consume the inflammatory foods especially when you have gut issues your lower back will be under stress as all organs and glands are directed into electrical potentialities that destined and move to the localized areas of issues somatically. Good on this lady for understanding and moving into better health.
Just finished my last dose, 2000mg antibiotics x10 days. During this time knowing I'm going to be building my health back up from scratch, i did some n=1. 1st ER dr days no meat, dh said i needed to change my eating, going for my follow up with my PCP tomorrow.
My results surprised me.
Things that are inflammatory, triggered migraines, caused bloating, water retention and histamine dump..
I'm sooo looking forward to NY strip, pork ribs, fatty pork tenderlion( it's not misspelled 😂 my son called it flat chicken when he was tiny, then tenderlion❤) . I have 2#of Amish butter thawing waiting for my eggs, sausage, bacon.
Sardines Fri Sa Su (ick but i know i need them)
Will hit Aldi's after my appt, my local grocer had as great sale on beef.
I'm a buy cheap, prep (portion pstties, cook meatballs, meatloaf) freeze kind of gal. I get my veg by osmosis.
I spent years thinking i couldn't process meat, yes, IKR😊.
Will be making Wendy's bagels. I'm looking for a good noodle recipe so see experiments come soon in my test kitchen.
Just started eating ground beef 80/20 after doing just ribeye for three weeks straight and it’s helping me feel better throughout the day not sure why but just wanted to share if this helps someone
I’m on week three carnivore and my weight loss has stalled
You may need to eat higher fat-carnivore
This is the video that makes me want to join your coaching program. I will join August program. Thank you for posting this.
Wonderful! We will see you soon ❤
Thanks very much for this. Very helpful reminder, cant hate ourselves thin. Great job 👍👍❤
Im having the most difficult times with carnivore diet. I’m gaining so much weight and my glucose revels have sky rocked. I love this diet, I’ve been on it 7 weeks but I’m afraid I will have to quit because things are going south 😢I only eat, beef eggs and pork belly. I don’t eat dairy. Once a week I eat some onions and jalapeños.
After listening to you all, I guess it’s a good thing cheese is not a big deal for me. Other than putting a slice on my hamburger once in a while, I can take it or leave it.
For me everything comes back to beef and eggs. When I feel hungry, beef and eggs totally satisfy.
I fell for the just a little diary thing. I ate 2 cartons of Rebel keto ice cream, throughout this past weekend and week. I learned the hard way. Stiff and soreness came back with a vengence! I think that this is a lesson well learned now that definitely I have a histamine reaction to the sugar alcohols and not so pure ingredients in those products. I find the longer I am from having eaten them. I THOUGHT that I had caught the flu! That's how congested and awful I felt Tuesday through Thursday. Then I realized the longer I went clean eating again? The more the symptoms disappeared overnight. I'm still slighty congested this morning, but feeling better every day I stay clean eating. So it's very unlikely I will slip up in that way again! It was awful feeling like that again.
Wait, is butter one of the foods that caused “fat” gain? (It seems to me on the intro picture) Can someone tell me where butter is discussed in the video I must have missed it, Thanks.
I gave up dairy, lost 7 kg, in a month while biking (it also made me sting) “ used to eat a kilo of greek yogur and for my second de meal: butter, dairy, milk. Now i eat one meal a day mostly.
I’m not giving up coffee. I gave up everything else and I have to give up my coffee? No !
"Irregardless" is not a word ;-)
The three main electrolytes are sodium (Na+), chloride (Cl-) and potassium (K+). These are minerals that we consume in compound form, which dissolve in water and exist as ions in the body.
Interesting. I always heard it was sodium, potassium, and magnesium that are the main electrolytes. I drink LMNT on occasion. I never thought to look for something with chloride.
NaCl IS salt
If u use salt, you’re using NaCl
The other electrolyte is actually MAGNESIUM
Take it at nite, in a capsule. Easy
