Who else watch this video 5 years later (2024) and know how well Laura has been doing with her journey 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@blessed77792, I have. 😊
Just watching for the first time now.
First time
First time as well !
I’m watching for the first time now and I’m absolutely amazed, being in my first month of carnivore this is so encouraging and inspiring ❤
Wow. I took a very similar path that ended up with me at 620 lbs. During that time I tried vegetarian, vegan, and juicing. Discovered keto. I'm now 430 lbs and now am going towards carnivore. 210 lbs to go.
Keep going! Keep moving! 🥰
You can do it!
Way to go. Woo! 🥰🙂
Well done i can imagine how hard it has been for you loosing so much weight you should be so proud of yourself 💕💕
That's amazing! Never give up ☺️
A normal relasionship with food ended with the end of normal food
I can dig it
Profound
Deep and well said.
So true.
Yes! This!!
Never had anyone articulate my struggle with food/weight more accurately. You described my last 15 years of life.
you are not alone...
Facts
Same
Yep. Me too
Same
Us carb addicts can’t do cheats. 😊. One sweet, and I’m eating the whole cookie box, daily. Thank you for your story. It is also my story. I’m researching carnivore, as I tend to cheat on keto.
Yes! This is my first time dieting with no cheat days and I’m loving it! 47 years old and finally figured it out lol ❤️
“I can do restriction, not moderation” is the most relatable statement anyone could ever make in relation to my journey. Thank you for the video! Looking forward to more!!
💛💛💛💛
❤
Meeeeee toooooooo!!!!
I can resist anything but temptation.
Agreed! I think this is a large part of the appeal of the carnivore diet for me.
i got back to the roots of my ancestors, went carnivore eating 2 big meals a day and lost 25 Kg. (55 pounds) in 4 months! skin got better too
I would love to hear more about the meat or how much meat you were eating.
@@johnsnow5264 first off, not an IQ test in way? Second, you're both talking about very different times in our ancestry. So you're both right in your assumptions and both wrong at the same time.
@@johnsnow5264 I mostly agree with that, balance is the key imo. Your response to the original poster was more condescending than anything else though, hence my response.
Awesome 👏🏻
@@justadude598 I don't think even doctors knew what the ancestors did or ate. I just look at what's been ascertained in OUR time. Most all doctors bring evolution into the fray and just there it's a case of NO! Have read too many books from imho legit scientists who disputes beautifully ol' Mr Darwin. I never knew maths cld be manipulated but apparently it can.
I thought I was the only one that had the mindset of "I'll eat everything I want this week/weekend and then I'll hit it hard and be healthy" I've been doing that for a long time and felt so ashamed. I need to drop 130lbs, I started working towards that last week. Can't wait to see where I'll be in a year!! Thanks for the positive vibes😀
Hi. Its exactly my keto anniversary today. A year ago I needed to lose weight and Im down 80lbs today. 15 more to go so now doing carnivore for a month
@@karliann1 congratulations! 🙂🥳
@@AnnabellaRedwood Thank you!💓
@@karliann1 congratulations 🎊
Me too
The "get it out of my system" cycle was sooo relatable.
I have lost 40 pounds 4 months... I want to lose 100 more pounds.... I’m hanging on to your every word ...thank you!❤️🙏
I had to learn to reward myself with stationery or clothes or books instead of sugary stuff like ice cream. You are very inspiring.
Lizzie Timewarp YES!! This is still something I am learning!
💖👍
I need to try this ... my struggle is the weekends 😫 and that I am the only one doing keto in my house 😏
I’m learning this too
Oh! Okay!
My starting weight this diet go-round was also 263lbs back in May. Hoping to also lose 120+ within a year with Carnivory & fasting. You are an inspiration! Already down the first 42lbs! 🙆🏽♀️😁
Great job!!
You go girl keep us updated!
Update?
@Kristine Pita we are on similar journeys. I started in March '19 at 253 lbs. I have also lost 42 lbs. I am about to embark on a full carnivore way of eating with intermittent fasting as well. Wishing you the best of luck.
good job!
So on point! I fell of the wagon. It took me two years to get back on!! STRICT for me. Those so-called substitutes for sweets would only stir up the monster. Now I don't 'play' with those products.
And they dont taste like the real things! The subs are poor subs. Rather just have fruit at some point!
Same, here.
Good gal, body will make all teh carbs/sugar/sweet it needs by itself from proteins. Don't listen to those craving signals, eat straight, what your body needs only -- proteins & fat
I’m officially a believer. Down 23.1 lbs so far on carnivore. I’m all-in 100%! Thanks for sharing
I know this is an old video, but I am exactly the same. I can't just eat a piece of cake, etc. Your success is very encouraging. Started Carnivore today and hoping this is the golden ticket for me with my struggle with weight and a horrible relationship with food. Thanks for sharing!
Same to me at age 69. I was on track PRE PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN to reach my ideal weight via a Keto-ish WOE. But when the Lockdowns happened, stress and anxiety increased and in December of 2020 I went through a divorce and move. Thus, gained 50 pounds. I have been 100% carnivore since 2/15/22 and already have noticed blue jeans are fitting better and my mental fog has lifted. Good luck. Yes, I was a sugar holic and could eat a dozen bakery glazed chocolate covered donuts in one sitting. Good luck.
I really want to try this. I see you started a month ago. Van you update me on your progress please?
I struggle with a major sweet tooth,
Like you I can't just eat 1 piece of cake I end up eating the whole cake. I feel so miserable right now. Not happy in my own skin right now.
@@chrisfranks5243 I just started 2 days ago. Joint swelling has gone down, and my planter fascitis is only hurting about half as bad as normal. I also have lost 2 lbs. I am eating some full fat dairy, but mostly beef and bacon. I am feeling hopeful!
How’s everyone doing now?
@@GBB70 Hi Mr. GBB70, I hope you see this, and reply. I love Laura's frankness, and yours too. I am 62, and have been doing Keto for 5 years intermittent fasting about the same. I have now found out my symptoms could be due to high of Oxalates, and need to start out a long journey of reducing veggies and slowly head my way towards Carnivore diet. Long journey because dumping Oxalates to fast can be dangerous to the body. I am like you, and can over indulge because I want that full feeling. I'm pretty good about staying away from the big no no's, and maintained my goal weight for all these years, but was wondering how do you feel being a long term carnivore eater after being old as dirt like me? I'm looking forward to your reply. From one old fart to another, Rena.
I have the same all or nothing mentality! It’s a vicious cycle! Thanks for sharing your story!
I think the most important thing you said in this entire video is that "results are addicting". That is what it's all about. At first you really need to push through and dig deep, but once you start rewarding yourself with better health, appearance, and overall feeling 100x better, it really becomes a lot easier.
Moderation
Watched Dr. Berry and Neisha’s live and they said we should follow you. Loved your first video. Heading on to #2.
You, this video, are what I needed. I have zero ability to be moderate. I have to cut it all out and simply tell myself that I choose not to eat it. I am over 400 pounds and I needed to hear this. I need more voices like yours in my ear. Thank you!
Ribeyes or 80/20 groundbeef, redmans healthy sea salt, water, and repeat.
I hope youre still fighting for your life
I've watched thousands of videos on weight loss but I have NEVER heard anyone's experience so closely related to mine. Losing 10 pounds only to go off the diet and regain 15, just makes me want to give up altogether.
Like you, I am better at self deprivation than moderation. A cheat seems to throw all to the wind. I get it.
Yes! When I am 100% strict it is so much easier.
I am like that also but why is it?
@@karenchamps9087 That's probably because of your hormonal response to the food that you are eating. Being strict means that you won't have the insulin/leptin imbalance going on.
Pim Jansson, thanks...that makes sense. 🥩 I wish that the doctors who are paid by American high price insurances would give me similar information. I had to stave off diabetes by finding information on RUclips. 🤨
Crazy isn't it? The fact that we can't trust the authorities is scary.
I for one think that they should base their advice on the things that improve our health and wellbeing.
Makes you wonder what else they are not telling us.
this proves that sugar is addictive as alcohol the same term goes
one cookie is too many and one hundred is never enough
High Fructose from corn is worse than regular sugar in processed food and highly addictive as you have said.
I'm an alcoholic and I have not drank for almost 25 years. Sugar however has always defeted me. Even with countless keto streaks. Started carnivore 3 days ago and I am already seeing how the elimination aspect of this could be incredibly effective.
heywood jablome so true
@@PaulRoseGuitar How have you been? I am watching real people and their Carni journeys I am Keto but I love the idea of outing veggies as I noticed I naturally stopped veggies and was just doing meat but had NO idea it was carnivore at that point. I just read Carnivore Code and it all makes sense but very hard to wrap your mind around. I am pretty science based. Paul brings the science that is for sure. How has your journey treated you? Are you still on a carnivore lifestyle?
@@PaulRoseGuitar update please!
Awesome work. Congrats to your husband for finding a warrior princess! You rock
I use the carnivore lifestyle to control my ‘dis-ease’ - rheumatoid arthritis 👌 Bread is a moment on my lips and a lifetime of pain in my hips 😪
Hi Samantha Katz...I also have RA and I was wondering if this wiukd would be a good thing for me. May I ask who you followed for more information?
I have RA too. Shawn Baker and Paul Salidino have mentioned that it helps autoimmune diseases and RA due to lowering inflammation in the body. I’ve been trying to research/ absorb information, but I think I’m just about ready to take the plunge!
Thank you so much! On January 2nd, 2020 I weighed 263 lbs. One year later after following a Keto lifestyle I’ve lost 74 lbs. I’m planning to go completely carnivore in 2021.
How's it going? Just started carnivore myself
How about an update? I hope you got it on the first try, but know most of us take many tries, and even then it's still a struggle. You can fall off the bike...what counts is that you eventually get back on 👍
Eight pound weight loss in six days. Steak only. I love beef! My inflammation is down. My mood is so much clearer. My head isn't fogged. Vegan what? Lol. Congrats on your tremendous goal loss. 👍
Same 👍
go to the gym and do elliptical for 30 mins....you haven't lost FAT yet you lost water weight....FAT burns very slooooowly without exercise
ImWatchingYew thanks. I’m currently coinciding a treatment plan for a better workout. I’m recovering from an injury. I realize it’s water weight. This isn’t my first rodeo. But good looking out! 👍
@@SiddikaKobir Lafitness hitting that ellyptical... went from 215 to 160 in about a years time with change to diet (not carnivore), and hitting the gym.
Good for you. But why insult a vegan? Someone makes an ethical responsible choice, you can support them. Or just get away from talking to them. Carnivore diet is just not going to be sustainable for this planet. That's just a reality. If everyone does it, our planet is screwed
“Great at restriction, bad at moderation” are we twins?
No...triplets....I'm the same
John Noh aren’t we all?😂
I am the same, moderation is not my friend.
@@DeborahAdamsCreativeLife I think it's easier to abstain
All or nothing, that's me.
My health rollercoaster has led me to the following conclusion: if weight loss is the goal, you will never get off the rollercoaster. If good health and feeling good is the goal, you can have a better relationship with food and stay stable. Being overweight is a symptom of poor health. Whether that poor health started from a physical or mental source, is irrelevant. Both are part of your health. When I stopped worrying about my weight and started thinking about how I felt, my quality of life, my life goals, food became less of an obsession and turned into a tool I could use to help heal my poor health. I will never be perfect, but I've come a long way by changing this 1 detail. Hope this helps someone out there, I sure could've used the advice 10 years ago.
I totally understand where your coming from. I just turned 51 and going through menopause. I have been a little heavy before and list about 40 lbs but then had a knee injury, which had caused me not able to workout. Since than I have gained weight and have a love hate with food. I am trying to get back on the eating healthy habit but really struggling. Es6when my grandkids are around. I've thought of starting keto but I've heard its not something that you should permanently do for ever. So been looking into intermittent fasting.
being overweight isn't always a symptom of poor health.... because Hashimotos. and various other auto immunity issues that can cause stalls.
You hit the nail on the head! I started looking at food with all of its ingredients and saying "I'm not putting this crap and poisons in my body"
Weight should never be the endgame. That's just calories and controlling them. Sacrificing the micro-nutrients only serves to cause harm.
@@kristenjohnson2044 Surely Hashimoto's is a sign of poor health? I was misdiagnosed with it myself at one time, but have worked with people who have it, felt pretty unhealthy and subsequently received treatment. Most autoimmune disease is a function of a stressor, genetic issue or dietary incompatibility.
Just watching this intro now after having watched some of your newer stuff. The honesty and details you share are so helpful to me. I relate to so much of what you shared about your relationship with food. I am in early weeks of carnivore and feeling hopeful. Thank you for sharing.❤
The way you described your relationship with food could be my exact story. I choked up a few times and can feel your pain. And here I am right now, day 1 of carnivore. Went through the whole weekend binging because I “needed to get it out of my system” because I’m starting the diet on Monday! I hope I can stick to it. It sucks so bad that we can’t just eat “normally”. I’m so very tired of the yo-yo. But, not tired enough to keep gaining and give up. I’m glad I saw your video and look forward to seeing more.
How’s your journey going so far hun? I hope it’s working for you.
How are you doing with it? Curious
Omg I just ran across your video. Your singing my life story.
Robin Sorley me too it’s crazy but feels good to know someone else understands rt
Mine too. So many similarities. 2 children. Husband dx’d w/ Type 2 diabetes (after about 16 yrs of marriage though). Inability to have just 1slice of pizza. Over 100 lbs overweight. I am so done with living like this. So ready to learn more about this. I feel your pain when you say you have an inability to have a normal relationship with food.
Women eating steak - we need that on a T-shirt. I'm all in!
Shut up and take my money! 💶💶💶
ill feed you tube steak sandwiches all night long
I want it. Now. 😂
I want that T-Shirt too....sign me up
Your honesty is so beautiful. Thank you.
Same girl same about moderation. "I'll have a banana... oh now I'll have a muffin... well a cupcake is basically a muffin... mmmm cake!!"
Lol
So relatable!☺
Many people live their whole lives like this, not realizing the food is controlling them.
It's so nice to have someone actually voice the things I've been thinking. The recommended ratio of high fat-low to moderate protein were too much for me (personally) and I gained weight. I started tracking just protein and calories, making sure I didn't go way over what I could metabolize, and I've lost almost 5 lbs in a week. Thank you for being here.
OH! OH! OOOOOHHHH! You could be telling my story! I found you by chance when I saw a video of you with Dr. Berry, (I LOVE him), but I wanted to find out who you were and found this video. I want to be your bestest friend and give you a BIG HUG. You (and I) were choking up a bit during several moments of your video. I have been Keto for just over one year and have lost 100 lbs. Still would like to lose a bit more, but started Keto to get my bio markers in order. I still cant believe I have not put sugar in my mouth for over one year. THAT is the biggest miracle to me. Like you, moderation does not work for me. I do better with all or nothing. I know if I put sugar in my mouth, it will be all over. I am starting to consider carnivore and fasting. Fasting, UUUGHHH! Then again, if someone would have told me one year ago that I would be lusting over macadamia nuts, I would have laughed at them. I cant wait to watch the rest of your videos. I have subscribed WITH notifications. God Bless You, and LET THEM EAT STEAK!!!!! Cindy
mrscms831 inspiring. Congrats on 100 pounds, outstanding. I just started fasting and it’s painful week one, but pretty easy. Keep us posted.
First of all I'm a grown man and I can totally connect with you on your relationship with food and I'm glad to hear someone else be able to put it in words when for me it was just cluttered grumblings in my spirit.
2... I cannot wait to start diving into this RUclips series and learning not only about your journey personally but the knowledge that you're about to share with me.
3... congratulations on your success, youre beautiful, I stand arm and arm with you and I'm applauding you.
New subscriber from NC! Carnivore for almost a month now. Starting 48 hour fasts next weekend. Glad I found your channel.
Great!! I always find 48 hours mentally and physically helpful for me!
It works meat only fasting twice a week lost 33lb . Make sure drink lots of water
"Sometimes it is very overwhelming to think that I just can't have a normal relationship with food." This hits me hard!
Been dirty keto for 16 months and not one cheat food! I'm all or nothing & I'd only be cheating myself! Delivered my daughter at 190, down to 130 now. Last 16m bounced around between 125 to 135.
Thanks for sharing!

Your amazing. I've lost 95 pounds in 2 years. I was in tears hearing your story because its my story too.
I know this is an old video but I just had to say I’ve been watching your videos lately and you level of honesty and seeing you be obviously uncomfortable telling your story yet still pushing through and doing it is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story.
Can so relate. Once I go bad, I’ll binge insanely on carbs.
Laura, Our stories are so familiar except I am 59 years old and still haven’t lost the weight that I want to. Thank you for sharing. I’m starting carnivore today. Wish me luck!
Good luck! I'm 59 and I'm starting tomorrow!
Hi Laura. My wife, Debbie, and I watched. We love your demeanor and honesty. Debbie is not ready for carnivore, but I definitely am. She has never had weight or health issues. Neither of us have ever been on any meds, thankfully, and plan on keeping it that way. I am 66 and she is 62. I am 6ft tall, and 3 years ago, I went from 247 pounds to 184 on keto. I'm back up to 204 and have maintained that for some time, but I want to get back down to 180 or so again. I felt good there. Now my choice is carnivore, and I look forward to learning along with you. Thank you for taking the time to create this carnivore channel!
Fellow food addict here! Just started the carnivore diet yesterday after being on keto for two years. Glad I found your channel! 💗
How is it going for you,
Finally I found a person, who can verbalize what I feel about food, thank you, I started today.
First week carnivore. I'm still on dairy, but I can SO relate to your story that I'm aware that I'll probably have to give it up eventually. Keep up the good work!!!
What an amazing video! Thank you! You have articulated what so many of us have struggled with our entire lives. For me, anything with sugar was the cliff I went off when trying to lose weight. Completely eliminated sugar in any form in Oct 2019. Since then, have been on a keto learning journey - lost almost 100 lbs. Working on that last 20 lbs for about a year now. Discovered that adding in some of the keto desserts, stalled things dramatically. No more. Doing OMAD now. Carnivore is appealing, I just have to learn how to cook beef.
Keto is very difficult to eat...alone
Amazing story! Well done! Hubby and I have been on Carnivore 40 days and unfortunately haven't lost any weight. Not sure why. We are both feeling great though.
Keep it up, keto is great too. Keep exploring and you will find what works for you. Dr. Eric Westman’s channel is a great resource. Wishing you the best! Cheers 🎉🎉🎉
Great to hear your story! It's motivating to hear someone talk about similar experiences in this journey. When a coworker asked if i have cheat days, I told him I eat extra bacon on those days. I tell people I am never going back to carbs, and they laugh because they have the mainstream perspective on carbs. So far down to 215 from 310. Feeling better at 30 than I felt in high school.
Never going back! I tried it just to see what will happen. I'm pretty healthy slim and normal... But oh my word... It's phenomenal!
I loved to hear your story, even if I knew some because I have followed you on instagram for a while. My story is a bit similar. Now I have been on the carnivore diet for 10 months and I have lost 97 lbs. Never lost so much weight before and never felt this good.
That's amazing, good for you!
Wow, that's amazing! Well done :)
So what all do you eat on the carnivore diet!!? I am diabetic, about 30-40 lbs overweight, I have a fatty liver so can I do this diet too!!?? Is fasting ok for a diabetic??
@@billiejohoward7443 I have tbe same question! , i wish she would answer
@@billiejohoward7443 check her other video
21:01 "when I order 3 steaks in a restaurant"... Awesome. Working on my "final start". Great Story, so glad for you. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
What a beautiful, open video. I just found you. Thought I was doing keto and started 5 days ago and then as I researched, I realized I needed to go carnivore. I have committed to 30 days, but I very much suspect it will be a lifetime. Feeling awful is a great motivation to not DARE step out of that box. I naturally intermittent fast 18/6 , so I have that leg up. I don't eat pork, so that helps too. Fav food hands down for my entire 57 years has been cheeseburgers. Shoulda known🙄😁 Can't wait to see more of your videos. Your openness HELPS. Thank you again.
Thank you THANK you for this video. This is how I’ve been feeling for freaking ever!!!!!! It is SO helpful to hear someone talk about this. I’m 21, 5’3” and 155lbs. I was down to 120 when I was vegan and got SO sick because of that diet. I have been on and off keto for the past 3 month and of course that’s been unhealthy, but I’m switching to carnivore and cutting out dairy. Something I get so caught up in is the “health nuts” that say we should have balance and let ourselves cheat but it messes me up every single time and I go right back to binging. It feels SO much better to me to be strict, at least for now. Thank you again for this video!
What a lovely, lovely woman..
Well done Laura.
You were obviously nervous, 'nearly' a llittle tearful.. but you held yourself up. lol..
And you did it !
The weight you've lost is inspiring.. I've no doubt that you'll keep it off too from now on.
I'm a carnivore too, and will be forever now I think.. I do eat plants every now and then, but I almost always feel rubbish afterwards.
The bitterness of salad leaves is simply too strong for me now.. they make me want to throw up.. as does eating cucumber (zucchini?) with the skin on.. eeew..
As you were talking to us all, it sort of became clear to me that the sound of your own voice seemed to be talking to you too.. You seemed to sense how daft you'd been before, back sliding into eating too much, becoming even more aware of the wrong grub you'd been eating.
You were almost doing "Affirmations" to remind yourself, and that you could see.. that you've grown up now.. and are NOW in control of your eating.. am I close?
Talking like this to ourselves, not 'randomly', but deliberately, sends the sound of our voice straight into our subconscious.... and really does reinforce anything we try to do, or acheive.
I reccommend it :-)
Anyway.... well done you.
You look blooming gorgeous, you obviously feel great.. and youir hubby must feel like he's got a new lady in his life ...AND he doesn't need to feel guilty !! lol.
Many of us quite envy him I'm sure :-)
Keep it up, I look forward to watching more of your videos.. and you've got a new 'sub' here.. and a new thumbs up too.
Best wishes from Yorkshire, England.
.
Very kind. Yes I think talking about this and encouraging others is also me talking to myself to try and stay on track. It helps to have a supportive partner who has also been on this journey as well. Thank you for your kind words and support.
I subscribed because this sounds like me 😂... I honestly can’t do moderation & stay healthy or keep weight off so I stick with low carb/Keto/Carnivore since Jan 2017 with periods of fasting & that’s a game changer for me...I kept it off & learned that I can build muscle too despite the mainstream talking heads that claim you need carbs to build muscle...I’m free from food addiction & the more I just stick to a Carnivore style eating pattern the better I feel & I keep myself satiated...you look beautiful by the way 👍🏾
Thank you!! That is my story for sure, fasting and carnivore has been a game changer for me mentally.
I found I not only had lost weight, but I also gained muscle. I was stronger and my stomach was the flattest it had ever been in my entire life. An aside, I found that I didn't burn in the sun on carnivore like I did while on S.A.D.
this is amazing!
Good on you for sharing your story, a lot of ppl suffer in silence which is harder than the actual struggle with diets. Carnivore has been a success for lots of us.
I can so easily relate to how you have been through your life with food. Thankyou for your honesty and being open to sharing with us all.
Been watching your more recent videos. I had to come ALL the way to the beginning to hear your story. Congrats on keeping it off. I'm day 7 on carnivore and loving it and all of this new found energy.
I've been on Keto for 6 months and lost 70 lbs but I am now at a plateau. I've been considering the Carnivore diet for a few months . I started the Beef and Butter Fast yesterday and I am enjoying having my steaks so maybe I will convert it into the Carnivore Diet. Thank you for this honest video.
Marie Bakata I will. Thank you Marie!
Pauline Newman are you eating just beef and butter or all meats? I’m thinking of trying the B&B on Monday with a group😉
Does anyone have Bowel movement issues 🙈 because of no fibre ?
Gratitude -
Yes and no, but I take a fiber capsule with meals too. Make sure it’s organic.
Pauline Newman -
Look up Fat Fasting too. It’s an option.
Thanks for sharing. I’m also in the all-or-nothing club. Carnivore is freeing, especially for someone with celiac and Hashimoto’s.
Lynnette Simpson Hi Lynette! I too have Hashimotos - haven’t started carnivore (tried Keto but haven’t been able to follow) interested in Carnivore (grew up on lots of meat - Dad was a meat cutter 😁)wondering if you would share how carnivore has helped your Hashi’s - I’ve been on Synthroid daily for over 10 years and have seen NO CHANGE in my symptoms 😕 Thanks, have a great Sunday!
@@charalson3023 You are so lucky! I tried (unsuccessfully) to convince my daughter to work for our butcher. Picking out my meat for the week is my favorite thing to do. Honestly, carnivore makes living with celiac more manageable and easy; a side bonus has been an improvement in my thyroid numbers. I don't really have symptoms from Hashi's, but over the last 6 months, my doctor has progressively reduced my Synthroid from 100 mcg down to 50 mcg. And for the first time in 23 years of taking thyroid medication, I am hopeful that I may be able to get off the Synthroid completely. Carnivore may be easier for you to try if you do better with all-or-nothing and it may also take some time to see results/changes. Best wishes to you!
Lynnette Simpson Thank you for the response! Your daughter should really look in to being a meat cutter - it’s a great profession and the salaries are very good (I’m in HR and keep up with various industry salaries plus my nephew is a meat cutter in California and makes a very good living) I went on to marry a Texas cowboy/beef rancher (now divorced) and learned even more during those years, miss having my own grass fed herd 😕 I am currently on 137mcg Synthroid a day and would love to get off it completely some day! Great result for you, congratulations!
If you are a prolific hunter, this diet makes so much sense. I’m pretty healthy but this sounds tempting since I have a freezer full of elk and deer meat.
That sounds amazing 😋
Thank you so much for your frank honesty! Just getting started and weigh 228 at age 68 and 5' 4". Your story helps motivate me to do this honestly and continuously until I reach my goal. Illness is why I'm doing this but hope for a slimmer healthier tomorrow will keep me motivated! THANK YOU so much!
I know this video is a few years old, but I just recently found you on RUclips. I have been watching a lot of vlogs on this and I am taking the jump and stating my Carnivore journey today. I am excited to hopefully break my bad habits with food, and the mental struggles of starting and stopping different diets.
Hope you're still going strong. The cravings for sugar will subside after a few weeks. Stay strong 👍
Same here,we can do this
How are you doing on it now?
Just found you, I can relate! I buy silver earrings at each 15 lbs lost. Keto and fasting 95lbs down. Cut dairy this month. I know what you mean about not having just a cookie or bite of a cheat, nope no way. I go crazy on the pork rinds or keto approved food and have a hard time getting back to omad or lower calories. Carnivore might be my next challenge.
Thanks for your honesty. I’ve been an OMAD carnivore for two months now and I’ve finally realized that I cannot have sugar in any form because it causes cravings and a desire to snack. I’ve also given up alcohol and I feel great! I recently told my husband that my treat when I hit my goal weight will be a steak dinner at an upscale restaurant. This way of eating has changed my food mindset for the better.
Yes!! Special occasions mean expensive steak now!! 😄😄 no more cake for celebrations!!
Why are you literally my spirit animal? You just described my life, my personality, my eating disorder.
This was very helpful! I could completely relate to your cycle of crashing out early like starting on Monday and messing up by Wednesday. I think the carnivore diet will be good for those of us who can’t quite discipline food and easily compromise thinking it’s no big deal. This way, you have ONE thing you’re eating and there’s not much room to deviate.
I've been keto for almost 4 years, but still even a keto friendly snack sets me into cheat mode! I've managed to stay below 200 and started at 240. I think I'm going to follow you and give carnivore a try with my son too. ❤️
This is amazing .....so many things she says is so true of my Addiction !! Wonderful to have support here.....so glad I found this !!! Hit the nail on the head for my whole life....can do restriction but not moderation !! Amen ! ✋🏼♥️
Laura thanks so much for sharing your struggles with food and weight loss. I’ve had the same exact struggled so it’s encouraging for me. I’m 66 and my husband is 69 and we are embarking on the carnivores lifestyle on Sept 1. Still trying to wrap my brain around this. It sounds too easy but I’m willing to do it any way. At this point in our life our health issues are consuming us so we really have nothing to lose but the weight.
I just found your video with your Mom and was so inspired. I subscribed and this is the first video of you! Thank you so much for your openness and honesty! I am much like you! I cannot lose weight even though I have been doing Keto for a while. It’s too much to get into on here, but I have been thinking about carnivore and I think because of your video I will give it a try and just see. I am 64, menopausal and I may even have hypothyroid. So a double whammy. Any way thank you for your video. I will let you know how I do! Stay strong💞
I've watched a ton of your videos & just stumbled upon this one tonight & I will say it's the most down to earth - REAL story I've witnessed yet from anyone in the carnivore community. Thank you for sharing your journey so honestly. I truly believe it's "honestly" with ourselves that makes the difference. You are soooo appreciated.
I’m 32 and just now healing my relationship with food and my disordered eating. Thanks for sharing your struggles and journey. ❤
Congratulations 💕💕 OMGosh I’m 60+ and considering this,, I’m all in... thanks so very much for sharing.
It’s interesting how we are more alike than different when it comes to our relationship with food. I appreciate your candor. Keep it going!
You’re a rockstar! Your honesty & transparency are motivating & inspiring. God bless :)
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I am loving watching your videos...especially the ones with your mom. You two remind me so much of my daughter and I .
Thank you so much for your honesty about not having a healthy relationship with food. I always regarded it as my comforter and best friend.....until I ate the crap. If I could stand to make myself vomit I probably would have become bulimic, seriously. So thankful I have found this option after getting tired of the issues from oxalate and all the other things veggies can cause. The battle rages on!
Food is a hell of a drug lol.
Kelly Kizer So true. Especially sugar.
kellysue1972 I am trying out carnivore to try to kick my sugar addiction. I am about 100 lbs overweight and I am also worried about diabetes being in my future if I don't do something about it now.
People don’t realize that so many things turn into sugar even if you aren’t eating sugar. So many think fruit is really healthy and for many vegetables aren’t healthy either. The brainwashing has been successful yet we are getting sicker and sicker as a society. The advice on what our bodies need is wrong plain and simple!
@@shenandoah1322 Carnivore will help with the physical addiction. If you are still struggling you need to start allowing yourself to feel whatever feelings come up when you are not eating sugar. I'm a sugar addict in recovery, I never thought I'd be able to quit but it's doable! xx
Wheat has an opiod like substance in it.
Wow, hearing your story about trying all of the different diets, losing weight, gaining weight back, cheating, etc., was as if you were telling my story. I even had gastric bypass years ago! I'm excited to follow you here, and on IG. And, I'm also excited to think the carnivore way of eating may just be the answer for me, and the end to all of the madness around food. Great job!
Congratulations on sticking this out and figuring out what your body needs to be healthy. You seem like a very genuine and lovely person, and your success is well-earned. I hope you have found the path you need to be healthy and happy. You are an inspiration, and you deserve all the best! I hope you truly enjoy your success!
I love your honesty and helping me to understand deprivation versus moderation issue. I had finally come to the conclusion that I had to forego "keto treats" because I couldn't stop at just the recommended serving size. Thank you for validating my own issue with "all or none"...I am following you now and will cling valiantly to your experience!
I had to cut out treats as well
The very best thing on the internet is the complete and utter honesty I come across. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your honesty. I have experienced similar food obsessions/emotional eating. We are reprogramming our minds. And healing our hearts. Thank you for sharing!
💕💗🥰
I love your honesty and transparency. It's really refreshing
Wow. Your story is my story.. I’m only a few days in on carnivore, but I switched to carnivore because I was eating too much junk. I love it so far
I'm sharing your videos on Facebook! Am getting positive responses from my friends even from high school 55 years ago!! Thank you so much! Am feeling better already!!
Everything you talk about like weight loss, keto, fasting and now carnivore I experienced the same since 2018 and just found your videos. Amazing.
Wow, you have motivated me so much! I can really relate to your comments about your relationship with food. I'm so lucky to have found you because I just started carnivore today. Thank you, thank you!!!!
I love following you on Instagram! I am so glad you are making RUclips videos. Your story speaks to me. I do the same thing with food that you did. You are an inspiration. You give me hope and confidence that I can change my diet. I have the same relationship with food as you. If you can do this so can I! Thank you so much for being you and putting it out for all to see! I follow a lot of carnivores and you are by far my favorite!
💛💛💛 that is so kind thank you!! If I can do it so can you!! I still deal with struggles and it is still part of my journey but I finally see the light now and the path to healing!! Every day is a new day.
I can totally relate to this young lady. I’m 63 and have declared myself a good addict. I consider myself no different from an alcoholic. They have absolutely no options for a cheat day. Whether it’s food, alcohol, gambling, whatever....when anything controls your life instead of you controlling it...I consider it an addiction...but that’s just my view. I intend to watch all of this young lady ‘s videos. I appreciate her honesty.
I too have a horrid sugar addiction… specifically Reese’s cups…. Started carnivore this past week. Already feel amazing, noticing some really great changes even now…. But Pepsi Zero and Reese’s cups…. Have me in a chokehold😮💨😮💨I WILL overcome this…I want all the good carnivore things❤️
you did amazing in front of the camera for your first youtube video wow I was captivated by your fluency and expression and social intelligence. you have a way to hold attention, use that to spread the word for people who need it!
Wow! Laura, this vid just spoke to me, as I know it did to so many folks having the same "unhealthy" relationship with food! Your honesty is so refreshing, thank you! You have verbalised my situation exactly. However, I am much older...49..with a host of other issues, not to mention being peri-menopausal. I started Carnivore just a few days ago, praying this will help me feel better too and lose the weight! You are a blessing and I look fwd to seeing more of your videos and posts!
Subscribed! I started keto a month ago and intrigued with carnivore!
I felt like you were talking about me. I have the exact same food addictions. I applaud your honesty , I know that had to be hard. Thank you for the inspiration. I've been keto for a month, been thinking about switching. But think it's a go now.
I just discovered your channel. I can't wait to binge all your videos. It seems like everything you say is music to my ears. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Wow your story is so much the same, I lost 100lbs using keto and carnivore a couple years ago and in 1 year have gained 50lbs back, I found you as im getting back into it! Thank you for sharing. It helps knowing im not the only one 🥰
