Finally!!! Someone who is actually addressing (realistically) the subject of calories. Many people who are overweight don't really know if the feeling they are getting is hunger or some kind of emotional thing. When I keep hearing eat whenever you are hungry I think ' I am always hungry so how will I know when to stop!?' I can't wait to listen to this again and take notes. New sub!
Right That CAN be good advice for some people but many, MANY people can't easily distinguish true hunger from emotional issues or just boredom. Personally I could say that I'm hungry almost all the time, but I've also done a Fast of over 8.5 DAYS so clearly I can not be ACTUALLY hungry for a long time!
I'm almost 80 and female. After 3 years of sedentary living and growing weak to the point that walking was painful and exhausting I came across the carnivore diet. My son asked me to accompany him to the gym and he's now my personal trainer. Over the last 3 months we've gone to the gym 2 days on with one day off or 2 days off. Since we both work out we spend roughly 3 hours. I'm getting stronger, lifting heavier all the time. Always, the next weight up is my goal. The diet has been quite a bit trickier because I'm quite a lot overweight though I've lost one fourth of what I needed to lose and I'm still losing. The information you've provided will help a lot because I don't want to go over the amount of calories I actually need. You're the only one I've found who's explained this properly and in detail. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.
@@diamondk67diary is supposed to make a baby cow gain a lot of weight within a very short time. there are growth factors and some other addictionary things in.
I was Carnivore and every time I weighed myself, I was up a few pounds. Now, I eat Starch Solution with occasional meat and every time I weigh myself, my weight goes down. I am now sitting at 132lbs. The carnivore diet was not a weight loss diet by any means. If anything, it was a weight gain diet. The Starch Solution is geared for effortless weight loss.
Look how it turned out for the creator of Starch solution....Sarcopenia, osteoporosis and early death. It's not a healthy diet even if you can lose weight on it.
So do you think hitting the protein goals regardless of the fat intake in order to keep the calories from being too low. I’m alternating and trying to push protein. I am so full I sometimes eat less fat. I make sure I refeed but seem to drop more weight on lower fat days. Scared from all the other “gurus” that protein is going to turn to sugar. Not the case according to Dr Ben Bickman btw 😊
I don’t really try to prioritize protein because I always get so much. I feel like 150-200g (which is what I normally get) is plenty. But I’m definitely not experiencing the “so full” feeling that you expressed.
@@delightedtomeatyouI’ve been “under eating” so I think that’s why. I’m trying to get calories up and the weight gain is hard to deal with mentally but hoping it’s muscle.
I’m prone to undereating and did a refeed and got my protein up, my weighed stayed the same but I took measures and have a scale that measures muscle and body fat, and it said I was doing a pound for pound swap and inches are changing. So I suggest tape measure
I have to track cause i under eat..so i make sure i get enough protein!! I searched refeed..do u know a video that shows it..i tried and found old old videos!!
This calculator is great! However i do not know how on earth I’m going to eat 199g of protein per day. I’m 5’3 or 5’4 haha but wow a ton of protein. I’m scared to eat that much.
@@delightedtomeatyouwell I have to try to hit calories and if not in protein would have to be fat. So that’s where I’m confused. Too much fat makes me gain. So in order to not undereat I have to increase protein? I think 🤔
Wow we are super similar. I was basically 135 lbs through my 20s and then over the last year and a half i went to 150 😢 which is super rough for me. So i also got a dexa scan and it said i was 33% body fat which .. like you i feel that is so not where i want to be. I would feel so great to be back at 135. I started weight lifting a month ago and i play pickleball for hours. I started carnivore 2 weeks ago. . Although really new, everyone around me has lost significant weight and i maybe am down a single pound.. I am curious and maybe could find the answer if i looked harder.. but what is your fat to protein ratio? 😂 im so confused what i am doing wrong. My husband says he thinks it is because i eat right, i go to the gym but then the rest of the time he always says i am sitting or laying down. I don't want to believe him but curious .. do you sit a lot? Lol i just want to lose fat and build muscle .. why must it be so hard ❤.

Are you doing OK? Have not noticed any new videos in awhile. I admire your honesty and vulnerability in handling your eating disorder. I struggle too!
You are my kindred spirit. I’m struggling to lose weight but I need to be consistent on movement.
If you’re able to be consistent on the diet part then you’re already a step ahead!
You are just glowing 😊
Oh thank you!
Jen, you look great. It shows you loss weight. Thank you for all suggestions. It helps tremendously.
Thanks for watching!

I hope everything is well with you Jen. You haven't posted in awhile, I miss your videos!
I think you are on point.❤
Great breakdown and peek behind the curtain :)
You’re amazing!! Keep doing you! I love your content and you just being real. Resonates with me every time! You are a blessing! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Thank you I hope this helps. I have been gaining even though I'm not doing anything different. Very frustrating since I have 40 more lbs to go.
I hope it helps too!
Maybe too much dairy?
@@heyikindalikeyou not really and if I am staying below calories/macros why would that matter?
@@diamondk67diary is supposed to make a baby cow gain a lot of weight within a very short time. there are growth factors and some other addictionary things in.
Just a few minutes more into the video and GIRL!!!! You can move some serious weight!! I'm impressed. :)
Thanks!!!
Awesome Ms Jen doing great like the post you certainly determined and you will get the results you want 🙂
NASM calculator is awesome! Thanks for the link!
You’re welcome!

This is amazing, Thank you 🙏🏼🙌

If your finding your struggling losing weight, good chance it is the milk. Just a heads up, not sure if you have tried cutting it out for a month.
I agree that calories do matter, I gained weight in keto and in carnivore.
Same. I'm a volume eater and animal foods are just SO much higher in calories.
My tdee on that calc says 1800cal. Im currently only 1400 so i will have to reverse slowly up to that.
Good idea to go slow
I've gone into MFP and set my goals from that website's instructions. My total daily calories will be a max of 2,000. Let's go! Starting tomorrow.
Hi - what is MFP that you refer to ? 😊
You’ve got this!!!
I’m pretty sure she’s referring to an app called my fitness pal
@@delightedtomeatyou ahh yes- that makes sense - thank you 🙏
Hey there Jen, have you tried Intermittent Fasting in conjunction with high-fat carnivore?
I want to ask: do you know some tips how to survive heat wave on carnivore diet? Carnivore foods are so warming.
❤❤❤

How do you come up with this figure of 25 pounds?
I have to track cause i under eat..so i make sure i get enough protein!! I searched refeed..do u know a video that shows it..i tried and found old old videos!!
Good question. I don’t know of a particular video about refeeds.
Trying not to be weird, but you don't look like you need to lose 25 lbs.
I appreciate that. My body is weird in that you can barely see the difference between 25lbs gained or lost 🤷♀️
@@delightedtomeatyou good luck, I know you will be able to do it.
She be a little vain. She makes lots of good videos though just too obsessed with how other people view her.

You may not need to!
