Please people - especially us diabetics - do NOT think that a big rash near a sore that won’t heal will get better and go away by itself. Necrotizing Fasciitis is nothing to mess with. I had the same experience. A sore. A rash that got larger. A high fever. On the 3rd day I went to the doctor and was immediately ambulanced to the hospital. They said I had only a 25% chance of pulling through and my family was told to expect the worst. I had 9 debriding surgeries in 21 days, followed by 3 months in ReHab. I repeat - Necrotizing Fasciitis is nothing to mess with.
Wow thanks for sharing your story Chris. I was overweight, type II diabetic on metformin for years. When my primary care said he wanted to add a 2nd diabetes medication I finally had enough, said no and put what I was learning about low carb, Keto and Carnivore approaches to reversing diabetes. Like you I found my A1C back under 6 within 4 months, my weight down by 25 lbs. I weened off Metformin over a 6 month period. 18 months into my journey my weight is back to where it was when I was in highschool some 40 years ago, A1C is 5.3 constant. I cannot ever see going back to my old way of eating.
@@underated17it can also be UNHEALTHY to take. I swear if the average lay-person had ANY conception of how complicated pharmaceuticals /diet / lifestyle and the human body are lmfao…
I’m 39 and feel fatigued all the time. I have skin tags all over my next. After a sever eating disorder i through my metabolism way out of whack and now I’m very insulin resistant. You’ve inspired me to nourish myself with carnivore. Thx.
Yes, the skin tags are a sign of high blood sugar. I hope you find what you need to heal. 🙏 Are you familiar with Dr. Ken Berry’s youtube channel? He has good advice about starting carnivore, if you don’t find enough info here. 👍
Jen Nesset you can do it! I have never struggled with weight or high blood pressure but inflammation was my struggle. Went carnivore 3 months ago and I’ve never looked back. After a couple days of craving carbs/sugar it’s been amazing and I’ve never felt better as a 56 year old guy who’s extremely active I feel fantastic.
What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh! precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Thank you for praising God, and giving him the glory. You guys are awesome.
I resonate with Chris' story completely. 3 weeks ago I began a ketovore diet with the intentions to move slowly into carnivore. In these short few weeks my blood sugar has dropped 140 points on the average. I'm shook and so excited about this journey.
I love that you two did this together. It’s remarkable, really. God is good and I’m glad Chris is fully recovered and that the pair of you are well and healthy. Thank you for sharing.
You two are just darling!!! I enjoyed that so much! I lost 110 lbs. in exactly one year with IF and also EF's every weekend for the first 6 months, and reversed my diabetes and lots of other issues as well. But for the past 10 months. I keep gaining and losing the same 5 lbs. over and over again, instead of losing my last 30 lbs. I know that I need to cut my carbs way, way down again as I keep going back to a little sweet potato, a couple of small mandarins a day for dessert, etc. (but mostly fatty meat and organic eggs with some veggies and pecans. I also indulge in some "keto treats" which are really nothing more than processed junk. You sound like people of faith, so please pray for me if you get a chance. I think carnivore would work wonders for me as well so I'm not sure why I can't get motivated to give it a go for at least 30 days. You two are so beautiful and happy and glowing, and I totally believe in your protocol, so, God give me strength!
@@maryfolks9368 Thank you so much! I know He did give me strength to do all that fasting I did at first, having never gone a full day without eating in my life, unless I was in the hospital with a tube down my throat!
I just prayed for the strength you are asking for! You may find it helpful to write this scripture out and repeat it aloud: 'I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me' (Philippians 4:13) Bless you !
I think you just need “community “…. I suggest dr Ken Berry (live Monday evening), dr Boz, who also has a lot of Community…… both of them are super duper connected to a bazillion carnivore Doctors and have written many books. I wish you much luck 🍀
Wow! I had no idea you had went through so much. This really inspires me. I too am a total carb addict. But every single time I let myself eat carbs, I remember why I had to stop. The horrible pain is just not worth it. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for you both and your family. THANK YOU! 💜
WOW!! So powerful! Thank you for your story Chris. I've reversed fatty liver disease. (ALT/SGPT) 1 year ago was 113 today 29 weight was 245 today 193 and feeling amazing. Laura thank you so much for your videos. Please keep them coming beef, butter 🧈 bacon 🥓 ❤
Hi Guys! I watched your video and wanted to "share". I am 32 years old, I have been a type 2 Diabetic for nearly 7 years now. I was around 325 pounds at my heaviest. Taking anywhere from 4-6 injections a day, averaging 200+ units of insulin daily. My average sugars were 300-400 range daily, even with that amount of insulin and also taking jardiance and was on metformin 5 years. Approximately 65 days ago, I decided it was time for a change. I changed my diet completely, started working out 5-6 days a week. Dropped soda, fast food, energy drinks, basically all the junk. I focus on protein and watch carbs. I am down 29 pounds, BEEN OFF OF insulin for 65 days now. Blood sugar levels are in the 100-135 range daily. I have about another 30 days then I will go back for tests, A1C was over 14 when I was originally diagnosed. Last A1C was around 12. I am planning to start Carnivore on my 90 mark, which is coming up real soon! Great job to you and your wife!
Thank you Chris for sharing your journey. I’m also addicted to carbs and I’m fighting the urge constantly. I’ve been doing keto/carnivore the past 3 months. Lost 18 pounds and feel better but I’m still wanting carbs daily. 😢trying so hard to fight the urges.
I got teary eyed listening I to this. Thank you so much for sharing your stories with us, so important for many of us to hear. I wish I could force people I care about to listen and really “hear” this story.
So happy for you both! I am on carnivore going on 5 weeks and feel like a new person. I"ve lost inches too but am doing this for health reasons (& it's working). You give me hope!! 😊
That is so wonderful that the 2 of you are on board together. My husband believes what he has been told all his life, eggs are bad, animal fat is bad, carbs are good. He has the health issues, not me. I started doing this because of painful joints and feet. I feel great and I know I have lost some weight. I plan to continue, I just hope that he wakes up before too long.
Thanks for sharing your story Chris! I think I over complicate it too much and get in my own way. Your story really helped me re-focus. I really appreciate the help!
💜 you guys are an inspiration. My husband and I have started Carnivore about 2 weeks ago and I'm excited to get to a place where I'm happy and healthy and can start a family without worrying about the problems I deal with now.
Thank you so much for candidly sharing your journey to health and wellness, Chris and Laura. I’m crying happy tears right now. Your wisdom and trials by fire are going to save lives. May God continue to Bless you, keep your family safe and sound. You are doing His Work by helping the rest of us struggling with food addiction and metabolic disease. ❤
What a great inspiring story Chris, you look great, thanks for sharing!! So glad you are ok now!! My husband is Type 1 diabetic, and in 2018 he fell, broke his right heel, his left ankle and left wrist. The orthopedic surgeon fixed his wrist but refused to even try to fix his heel because of the diabetes and the possibility of losing his foot altogether. Thankfully-staying off of it for 3 months in a boot, everything lined up just right and healed itself. Laura it was so nice meeting you at KetoCon. You made my niece Jenny's day for sure also! Hopefully she shared her story we recorded with you!
Y’all look like such happy people. One of my favorite parts of your videos. I think that should be pointed out more in the community. Definitely a side effect of carnivore.
Wow! Chris that is a great accomplishment to be able to get off of all medication and lose the weight and the carbs. That is something to be proud of. If you had not started the carnavore diet you may not be around to see your children grown and your wife may have been raising them along. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
This is an inspiring success story. I'm summarising this in Turkish on my channel because this is one of the most amazing carnivore success stories. Thank you for sharing.
It’s so great to see how this lifestyle is working for you both. I’m finding it difficult to work out what I need to eat to loose weight. My problem is a lack of hunger. Keep on your amazing journey. ❤
Awesome. Thanks so much, for all you have shared. You were among my first carnivore channels discovered, and gave great inspiration to stay on carnivore. 4+ years and counting.👍💖🥓🥓🐄🐄✔
You to are adorable! Congratulations to you both and thank you for sharing your stories with us! Laura…I saw you at Ketocon 2023 but you were busy and I didn’t want to bother to say hello. But I appreciated your contribution to the panels you participated in and I enjoyed getting to see you in person. I’m looking forward to more and more from you both!
You guys are beautiful together 🥰 I totally get where you are coming from Chris about wanting carbs etc… but knowing they aren’t good for you. I just started back doing BBBE, and miss a few things. I realize I am an addict and just have to say no. Thanks for taking the time to share your story.
You are such a Power Couple and have been a source of continuing motivation for me on my journey. Your story is truly phenomenal, Chris! You have 1000s of fans out here 😁🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing...im Retired Navy, now i drive a truck had same weight issues topped out at 280.....thanks to yall and intermediate fasting im down 40lbs. even while being on the road and are using this moment as a life style change. I see so many out here in this industry going to an early grave...😢😢
I admire so much how you both work together to share your unique stories within our carnivore community. Thank you both and wishing your entire family much joy and health.
I just love you guys! You’re so inspirational, not just how successful you’ve been on this WOE, but also how you support and encourage each other. You’re the cutest!!! ❤️
You two are absolutely adorable !! Chris, I so appreciate your candor. My story is very similar to yours. Your words really hit home. Thanks for all you and Laura do for the community ❤
❤ The two of you sharing Chris’s story is so inspiring. It is wonderful that you made it through such a difficult time in your life and worked together to improve your health. Congratulations!
What an amazing story you both have to tell and an inspiration!! I can imagine this is not easy to talk about and appreciate your sharing your story, thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing Chris's experiences and journey. I've been searching for answers since realizing I was diabetic over a year ago. You've both given me the courage to try this. I'm so tired of being sick and tired.
You are a beautiful couple. Chris's story has helped me understand that my sugar addiction can't be controlled or moderated, but I have to give it up completely, just like an alcoholic can't have an occasional drink. I am type 2 diabetic that has just started carnivore lifestyle. I have always loved cheeseburgers so now I eat them without a bun, and no fries and no Dr. Pepper. In a week, it has already helped my blood sugar go down. Watching your story has encouraged me for the year ahead as I lose 100 ponds of fat and regain my health. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I was pre diabetic and didn’t know and wondered why I couldn’t ever get full , it was like food just disappeared in my mouth,now I’m carnivore and down 62lb
A big thank you to Chris for telling your story but especially for your honesty throughout. I choked up when you said you are a sugar addict, always was, but you resist. I'm starting carnivore now & will refer back to this video A LOT.
This was just an amazing video, loved hearing Chris’s story. Thank you both! Love that you are so healthy and are there for your family Chris! Congratulations
WOW!!!! What a great video! I was just scrolling through youtube and I happened to come across a video, then I watched this one. Just hearring your testimony, pumped me up. How great you must feel after obtaining and maintaining those results. I am at the cusp of 50 years old. Just found out that I am pre-diabetic and have other issues as well, very similar to yours. I'm going to give this a try. Wish me well and keep me in your prayers. Thank you guys for uploading your videos.
I love this story of both of your journeys to success. Thank you for sharing. I am Keto/Carnivore as of now but seriously thinking of going to just carnivore only. I can say that going Keto has taken my monthly seizures from me so it has been a huge Blessing. When I went carnivore for awhile my face looked better and the nagging belly fat went away. My weight is good just the belly fat has to go so that is why I think I need to go back to carnivore and just stay there.Thanks again for the teary eyes...lol...Hugs.
Navy Viet Nam Vet here just diagnosed with Type II. Down 20lbs and newly on carnivore. Long way to go but you both are motivational for me and a genuinely wonderful couple. Thanks for all you do!!
Thank you for making this video! You both are such an encouragement. I’ve been doing the carnivore diet on and off for several months. Every time there is a celebration and I “treat” myself, my efforts get derailed and I want to quit. It’s good to hear that my battle with my sweet tooth will continue to be just that, a battle, but that I too can resolve to abstain and enjoy this healthier lifestyle. The benefits are unbelievable and prayerfully, I’ll desire those more than the temporary gratification from carbs. Congratulations!
Chris, you are an inspiration to me. I am 6'3" 304 lbs, and my goal is to be at 200lbs before my 60th birthday next March. I have T2D and severe sleep apnea. I have been "dabbling" with keto and 18/6 and ready to go Carnomad. I am curious about when you eat. I hope I can check in with you as I go through this life change.
You can do it Pastor Todd. I am 53, 5'11" and was 314lb on Jan 30th 2023. Sick and tired of being so overweight I began the keto journey. My wife is amazing and super supportive so she had my back. I was lucky I have no diabetes, or any other major health problems other than joint pain. Almost 3 months later: I am almost full carnivore but still have green vegetables every couple of days, to keep wife happy. I am one meal a day. Started doing 16-8 and it just became OMAD as my diet improved. I have lost 50 lb in the 3 months. My goal is 200 lb and see how I feel there. My wife, who is tall, fit and healthy and at 54 weighed in at 142lb, she is now 127 lb and feeling the best she has in years. I am 5' smaller in the waist. I have lost inches everywhere and feel like I am 35 again. I am almost halfway there and can't wait to get under 250. Plan to begin an exercise program which will help me get it going for the last half.
@@cvytnioy56dvfuj4g7 Thanks for the words of encouragement and for sharing your journey so far. I look forward to hearing how it goes for you. And btw, never stop keeping your wife happy!
@@chrisspath Thanks for replying to me Chris. Day 2 of Carnivore. I ate two meals yesterday within a 6-hour time frame. Steak/Ground Beef, eggs, butter, and bacon (BBBE). Still drinking my coffee but have cut back. Working toward OMAD. I am grateful for you and Laura! Joining locals today.
It is amazing what you both have achieved. Honestly surprised to hear you still desire those other foods after 5 years. A lot of carnivore people online act like they never have temptations and cravings
If I eat enough (meat/animal fat) I am not even tempted anymore- it is when I try to “portion control” that I get cravings returning. Or when I thought using sweeteners was okay… if you remove sweet tasting things you don’t want other/more sweet tasting things. ❤
Excellent commentary you two and thank you Chris for laying it on the line. I have a fear that diabetes is watching me from around the corner... I'm gonna give it a serious go with the 20/4 eating and fasting and sticking to hamburger and flank steak. Thank you for your motivation and please don't stop doing videos.
You guys are so cute. ❤ Chris story always makes me a little nostalgic. Almost loosing the love of your life. So glad that you both embarked on this hard journey and are enjoying the rewards of it all. Stay strong! 🙏🏻
Chris did great, It is always good to see him. he speaks to the camera well even though i am sure he doesn't like it! im at 245 from 287, 4 months in. I am blessed that i didn't have any ailments, but i know it is the best for me to get healthy now while i don't have any issues.
Aww ya’ll are sweetie pies. I’m a baby carnivore at 3 weeks and loving the food freedom. I’m sending this video to someone I love very much, my son, praying Chris will inspire him.
Thank you for sharing! The part where you say you are a sugar addict and you have excepted it and know you can't control it clicked with me! I have to admit I am too. 😢
thank you for sharing your journey and being transparent. I am 52 and began eating Low carb in my 30's but went back to eating carbs and foods I knew didn't sit right with me.. I then began Keto in 2017 and have changed my body, my mindset and my husband and I lost weight and maintained the lifestyle.. We know what we need and now having gained some weight back am getting refocused and recommitted to reset and recharge..
I'm on meat based keto My 6.9 a1c took 2 years to drip to 6.7 and then in 4 months on the meat based keto I was at 5.6 and now 5.3 1 year later. It's amazing how quickly it made changes in how I feel. They just did a glucose check on me. I had a beef burger patty, 1 slice cheddar cheese and 3 eggs fried in bacon fat. About 2 hours later I was an 89. Dr's are always amazed. No meds just diet and I have lost 69lbs so far and I'm looking to doing a 3 month meat only elimination diet cause I have some allergies that are getting worse and my bp is still problematic, better than when i tartrd but still high. I still do sugar free and some keto stuff and I suspect it's not helping lol I'm so glad you are well and congrats I enjoy that you guys are so real and Share how your went from start to now and how you work with your kids and just the authenticate approach. Blessings
Thanks for sharing your experience and stories! I started the carnivore diet a year ago and lost 100# and still going strong. I always get people asking me when I will stop the diet and I respond to it as I don’t plan to change the diet as the benefits are great plus I don’t want to go back to where I was.
Such a great video! Thank you Chris for sharing your story! I had the pleasure of hanging out with Laura this past weekend and it brought true joy to me. I have a question though for you, Chris how did you know you were ready to quit your CPAP machine? I’ve been using one for 3 1/2 years and would love to graduate.
As my weight dropped I noticed the pressure was too high. Not sure if you've ever had gas issues related to air being pushed into your guts essentially. Since I previously worked in healthcare, I knew how to lower the pressure. I did incrementally until I tried without it. I used a snore app to see if I was having excessive snoring and I wasn't and I felt great so I never went back.
How inspirational you both are. I'm trying to help more people get healthy, but amazingly many would rather keep their food and sugar addictions than change what they eat. Keep up the good work!
Love this video. You both rock. I am working at being keto / carnivore. It's hard for my husband, who loves pizza & pasta, when we travel. I continue to encourage him & don't make any carbs at home. Chris, it is awesome you survived that health emergency, my mom had flesh eating disease 17yrs ago at age 70. She survived as well but lost her arm & shoulder. She is still doing well. Thank you for all the great videos, Laura.
You 2 are beautiful. 😊❤. I wish i had listened to my body years ago. I have always craved meat 🍖 and been more a savoury person. Sweets really didn't do anything for me. Then i got addicted to chips, crisps and the crunchy feeling in my mouth. That was my downwards spiral from there, and being dependant on carbs and being hungry all the time 😢. The feeling of tiredness and emotional sadness all day every day. I hope that at the age of 53 and my carnivor eating i will have a few years in me yet. I will keep you posted in my future successes. Currently sitting around 205 pound, very sad and non motivated. This is only day 3 so far. Thankyou both for your knowledge and helping others. Vonni. 😊
I think this video just saved my life. I have the same pimple on my elbow right now. Went straight to the emergency room. I am here now waiting for answers. Thank you. From the bottoms of my heart. Thank you for posting this video. I will check back in to update if anyone is interested.

Hi Laura, Did Chris drop all his meds straight away ? i have a family member whos in a similar situation
@@mrmungi1 You'll probably want to work with your doctor because some meds can cause major problems when stopped.

You guys are the best!🥰Thanks, Chris & Laura, for always being authentic😊
Thank you Chris for sharing your journey. I’m also addicted to carbs and I’m fighting the urge constantly. I’ve been doing keto/carnivore the past 3 months. Lost 18 pounds and feel better but I’m still wanting carbs daily. 😢trying so hard to fight the urges.
Eat all your food within 6 hours, that'll get your insulin low = less hunger.
More fat and drink more water
have butter bites. one or two of this will banish the craving.

I plan to continue, I just hope that he wakes up before too long.
Thanks for sharing your story Chris! I think I over complicate it too much and get in my own way. Your story really helped me re-focus. I really appreciate the help!
💜 you guys are an inspiration. My husband and I have started Carnivore about 2 weeks ago and I'm excited to get to a place where I'm happy and healthy and can start a family without worrying about the problems I deal with now.
Wow, unbelievable. I am sorry for what you went through. Thank you for sharing and I am so happy that you both are now living your best life.
Thank you so much for candidly sharing your journey to health and wellness, Chris and Laura. I’m crying happy tears right now. Your wisdom and trials by fire are going to save lives. May God continue to Bless you, keep your family safe and sound. You are doing His Work by helping the rest of us struggling with food addiction and metabolic disease. ❤
What a great inspiring story Chris, you look great, thanks for sharing!! So glad you are ok now!! My husband is Type 1 diabetic, and in 2018 he fell, broke his right heel, his left ankle and left wrist. The orthopedic surgeon fixed his wrist but refused to even try to fix his heel because of the diabetes and the possibility of losing his foot altogether. Thankfully-staying off of it for 3 months in a boot, everything lined up just right and healed itself.
Laura it was so nice meeting you at KetoCon. You made my niece Jenny's day for sure also! Hopefully she shared her story we recorded with you!
Love this video thank you both!
Y’all look like such happy people. One of my favorite parts of your videos. I think that should be pointed out more in the community. Definitely a side effect of carnivore.
Wow! Chris that is a great accomplishment to be able to get off of all medication and lose the weight and the carbs. That is something to be proud of. If you had not started the carnavore diet you may not be around to see your children grown and your wife may have been raising them along. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you for the honesty and hopeful message
Chris, thanks for sharing your story. You weren't always willing to be in front of the camera. Thanks for your unselfishness in doing this.
Just watched your interview with Dr.Baker🎉
"Recognize the battle!" Love that! Thanks for sharing! Be safe and God bless !
What a beautiful couple. Congratulations on making it and doing what you needed to get healthy.
I love that he mentions that it's simple but not easy- I am having the same struggle! I really miss carbs/ starches😢
Sugar. Carbs. SMH. Just more

Wow! God is faithful and He is good!! Good job, Chris 🤛🏻
By far, the BEST role models on YT!!!
Absolutely they are!
That was great! Loved hearing Chris’s story! Love you guys! 💜
This is an inspiring success story. I'm summarising this in Turkish on my channel because this is one of the most amazing carnivore success stories. Thank you for sharing.
You two are adorable and complement each other so well. Great job! Thank you for inspiring so many.
My favorite part of this video was the end. The look between you says it all. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
It’s so great to see how this lifestyle is working for you both. I’m finding it difficult to work out what I need to eat to loose weight. My problem is a lack of hunger. Keep on your amazing journey. ❤
Awesome. Thanks so much, for all you have shared.
You were among my first carnivore channels discovered, and gave great inspiration to stay on carnivore. 4+ years and counting.👍💖🥓🥓🐄🐄✔
You to are adorable! Congratulations to you both and thank you for sharing your stories with us! Laura…I saw you at Ketocon 2023 but you were busy and I didn’t want to bother to say hello. But I appreciated your contribution to the panels you participated in and I enjoyed getting to see you in person. I’m looking forward to more and more from you both!
You guys are beautiful together 🥰 I totally get where you are coming from Chris about wanting carbs etc… but knowing they aren’t good for you. I just started back doing BBBE, and miss a few things. I realize I am an addict and just have to say no. Thanks for taking the time to share your story.
You are such a Power Couple and have been a source of continuing motivation for me on my journey. Your story is truly phenomenal, Chris! You have 1000s of fans out here 😁🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing...im Retired Navy, now i drive a truck had same weight issues topped out at 280.....thanks to yall and intermediate fasting im down 40lbs. even while being on the road and are using this moment as a life style change. I see so many out here in this industry going to an early grave...😢😢
Go for it ! 👌
I admire so much how you both work together to share your unique stories within our carnivore community. Thank you both and wishing your entire family much joy and health.
I just love you guys! You’re so inspirational, not just how successful you’ve been on this WOE, but also how you support and encourage each other. You’re the cutest!!! ❤️
You two are absolutely adorable !! Chris, I so appreciate your candor. My story is very similar to yours. Your words really hit home. Thanks for all you and Laura do for the community ❤
Thank you for your study and words of encouragement ❤
You two are awesome🙏🌻
I can’t wait to show my husband, your story Chris. Thank you both.
It's so courageous to hear your story of changing your life with eating the way you are eating.
Y’all are the cutest couple! Thank you for this. I am on the ledge right now. Prediabetic heading in the wrong way. Not very motivated but this helps.
Just start. You won’t regret it. Only regret I have is that I didn’t know about this 30 years earlier. I am 73. Started January 2021! 😍
❤ The two of you sharing Chris’s story is so inspiring. It is wonderful that you made it through such a difficult time in your life and worked together to improve your health. Congratulations!
What an amazing story you both have to tell and an inspiration!! I can imagine this is not easy to talk about and appreciate your sharing your story, thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing Chris's experiences and journey. I've been searching for answers since realizing I was diabetic over a year ago. You've both given me the courage to try this. I'm so tired of being sick and tired.
You guys are awesome! It was great hearing your story. Very inspiring
You are a beautiful couple. Chris's story has helped me understand that my sugar addiction can't be controlled or moderated, but I have to give it up completely, just like an alcoholic can't have an occasional drink. I am type 2 diabetic that has just started carnivore lifestyle. I have always loved cheeseburgers so now I eat them without a bun, and no fries and no Dr. Pepper. In a week, it has already helped my blood sugar go down. Watching your story has encouraged me for the year ahead as I lose 100 ponds of fat and regain my health. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Love and blessings to you both!! Thank you for being amazing role models and mentors. And helping so many people change our lives!!!❤🙏✨
I was pre diabetic and didn’t know and wondered why I couldn’t ever get full , it was like food just disappeared in my mouth,now I’m carnivore and down 62lb
Have you checked with your doctor to see if youre still diabetic or it went away after going carnivore diet?
I follow you from France. 🇫🇷
I also started the carnivore diet
Awesome comeback 👏 keto or carnivore are the key
A big thank you to Chris for telling your story but especially for your honesty throughout. I choked up when you said you are a sugar addict, always was, but you resist. I'm starting carnivore now & will refer back to this video A LOT.
Great videos you guys are helping me get started with carnivore
This is just what I needed to kickstart my weight loss journey on a carnivore diet. Thank you!
This was just an amazing video, loved hearing Chris’s story. Thank you both! Love that you are so healthy and are there for your family Chris! Congratulations
WOW!!!! What a great video! I was just scrolling through youtube and I happened to come across a video, then I watched this one. Just hearring your testimony, pumped me up. How great you must feel after obtaining and maintaining those results. I am at the cusp of 50 years old. Just found out that I am pre-diabetic and have other issues as well, very similar to yours. I'm going to give this a try. Wish me well and keep me in your prayers. Thank you guys for uploading your videos.
I am so happy for you both! Thank you for sharing your story! It's truly inspiring! 👍🙌
I love this story of both of your journeys to success. Thank you for sharing. I am Keto/Carnivore as of now but seriously thinking of going to just carnivore only. I can say that going Keto has taken my monthly seizures from me so it has been a huge Blessing. When I went carnivore for awhile my face looked better and the nagging belly fat went away. My weight is good just the belly fat has to go so that is why I think I need to go back to carnivore and just stay there.Thanks again for the teary eyes...lol...Hugs.
Navy Viet Nam Vet here just diagnosed with Type II. Down 20lbs and newly on carnivore. Long way to go but you both are motivational for me and a genuinely wonderful couple. Thanks for all you do!!
Thank you for making this video! You both are such an encouragement. I’ve been doing the carnivore diet on and off for several months. Every time there is a celebration and I “treat” myself, my efforts get derailed and I want to quit. It’s good to hear that my battle with my sweet tooth will continue to be just that, a battle, but that I too can resolve to abstain and enjoy this healthier lifestyle. The benefits are unbelievable and prayerfully, I’ll desire those more than the temporary gratification from carbs. Congratulations!
Remarkable story and amazing determination . Thanks for sharing.
Chris, you are an inspiration to me. I am 6'3" 304 lbs, and my goal is to be at 200lbs before my 60th birthday next March. I have T2D and severe sleep apnea. I have been "dabbling" with keto and 18/6 and ready to go Carnomad. I am curious about when you eat. I hope I can check in with you as I go through this life change.
I usually eat once a day around noon and I eat quite a bit haha. Keep us updated on your progress. Hoping for the best
You can do it Pastor Todd.
I am 53, 5'11" and was 314lb on Jan 30th 2023.
Sick and tired of being so overweight I began the keto journey. My wife is amazing and super supportive so she had my back.
I was lucky I have no diabetes, or any other major health problems other than joint pain.
Almost 3 months later:
I am almost full carnivore but still have green vegetables every couple of days, to keep wife happy.
I am one meal a day.
Started doing 16-8 and it just became OMAD as my diet improved.
I have lost 50 lb in the 3 months.
My goal is 200 lb and see how I feel there.
My wife, who is tall, fit and healthy and at 54 weighed in at 142lb, she is now 127 lb and feeling the best she has in years.
I am 5' smaller in the waist. I have lost inches everywhere and feel like I am 35 again.
I am almost halfway there and can't wait to get under 250.
Plan to begin an exercise program which will help me get it going for the last half.
@@cvytnioy56dvfuj4g7 Thanks for the words of encouragement and for sharing your journey so far. I look forward to hearing how it goes for you. And btw, never stop keeping your wife happy!
@@chrisspath Thanks for replying to me Chris. Day 2 of Carnivore. I ate two meals yesterday within a 6-hour time frame. Steak/Ground Beef, eggs, butter, and bacon (BBBE). Still drinking my coffee but have cut back. Working toward OMAD. I am grateful for you and Laura! Joining locals today.
It is amazing what you both have achieved. Honestly surprised to hear you still desire those other foods after 5 years. A lot of carnivore people online act like they never have temptations and cravings
Truth!
If I eat enough (meat/animal fat) I am not even tempted anymore- it is when I try to “portion control” that I get cravings returning. Or when I thought using sweeteners was okay… if you remove sweet tasting things you don’t want other/more sweet tasting things. ❤
Thanks for sharing. The two of you are adorable. Very happy for you. I will be carnivore the rest of my life as well. There’s no turning back.
Excellent commentary you two and thank you Chris for laying it on the line. I have a fear that diabetes is watching me from around the corner... I'm gonna give it a serious go with the 20/4 eating and fasting and sticking to hamburger and flank steak. Thank you for your motivation and please don't stop doing videos.
You guys are so cute. ❤ Chris story always makes me a little nostalgic. Almost loosing the love of your life. So glad that you both embarked on this hard journey and are enjoying the rewards of it all. Stay strong! 🙏🏻
Chris did great, It is always good to see him. he speaks to the camera well even though i am sure he doesn't like it! im at 245 from 287, 4 months in. I am blessed that i didn't have any ailments, but i know it is the best for me to get healthy now while i don't have any issues.
Aww ya’ll are sweetie pies. I’m a baby carnivore at 3 weeks and loving the food freedom. I’m sending this video to someone I love very much, my son, praying Chris will inspire him.
Thanks, y'all! My husband and I are trying to do the same as you both!!😊
you two are ADORABLE! so grateful you've found what heals you.
Thanks for sharing your story❣️ You both are rock stars, overcoming alot! So glad you are both healthy now.
The kiss at the end was the best! Great interview.
Thank you for sharing! The part where you say you are a sugar addict and you have excepted it and know you can't control it clicked with me! I have to admit I am too. 😢
thank you for sharing your journey and being transparent. I am 52 and began eating Low carb in my 30's but went back to eating carbs and foods I knew didn't sit right with me.. I then began Keto in 2017 and have changed my body, my mindset and my husband and I lost weight and maintained the lifestyle.. We know what we need and now having gained some weight back am getting refocused and recommitted to reset and recharge..
I'm on meat based keto
My 6.9 a1c took 2 years to drip to 6.7 and then in 4 months on the meat based keto I was at 5.6 and now 5.3 1 year later. It's amazing how quickly it made changes in how I feel.
They just did a glucose check on me. I had a beef burger patty, 1 slice cheddar cheese and 3 eggs fried in bacon fat. About 2 hours later I was an 89. Dr's are always amazed.
No meds just diet and I have lost 69lbs so far and I'm looking to doing a 3 month meat only elimination diet cause I have some allergies that are getting worse and my bp is still problematic, better than when i tartrd but still high. I still do sugar free and some keto stuff and I suspect it's not helping lol
I'm so glad you are well and congrats
I enjoy that you guys are so real and Share how your went from start to now and how you work with your kids and just the authenticate approach.
Blessings
God is so good! Thank you both for being transparent about your health journey. It is very inspiring.
Thanks for sharing your experience and stories! I started the carnivore diet a year ago and lost 100# and still going strong. I always get people asking me when I will stop the diet and I respond to it as I don’t plan to change the diet as the benefits are great plus I don’t want to go back to where I was.
Y'all are so cute! Hooray for being a team and supporting each other.
Such a great video! Thank you Chris for sharing your story! I had the pleasure of hanging out with Laura this past weekend and it brought true joy to me. I have a question though for you, Chris how did you know you were ready to quit your CPAP machine? I’ve been using one for 3 1/2 years and would love to graduate.
As my weight dropped I noticed the pressure was too high. Not sure if you've ever had gas issues related to air being pushed into your guts essentially. Since I previously worked in healthcare, I knew how to lower the pressure. I did incrementally until I tried without it. I used a snore app to see if I was having excessive snoring and I wasn't and I felt great so I never went back.
How inspirational you both are. I'm trying to help more people get healthy, but amazingly many would rather keep their food and sugar addictions than change what they eat. Keep up the good work!
Day 55 on the carnivore diet. Lost 35.5lbs so far. My average fasting glucose level is at 81.
Thank you for your amazing video!
You both look great! Congrats on your journey!
Thank y’all for sharing this story! You are saving lives! God bless you!
Love this video. You both rock. I am working at being keto / carnivore. It's hard for my husband, who loves pizza & pasta, when we travel. I continue to encourage him & don't make any carbs at home.
Chris, it is awesome you survived that health emergency, my mom had flesh eating disease 17yrs ago at age 70. She survived as well but lost her arm & shoulder. She is still doing well.
Thank you for all the great videos, Laura.
You 2 are beautiful. 😊❤. I wish i had listened to my body years ago. I have always craved meat 🍖 and been more a savoury person. Sweets really didn't do anything for me. Then i got addicted to chips, crisps and the crunchy feeling in my mouth. That was my downwards spiral from there, and being dependant on carbs and being hungry all the time 😢. The feeling of tiredness and emotional sadness all day every day. I hope that at the age of 53 and my carnivor eating i will have a few years in me yet. I will keep you posted in my future successes. Currently sitting around 205 pound, very sad and non motivated. This is only day 3 so far. Thankyou both for your knowledge and helping others. Vonni. 😊
You can do it. Don’t give up.
I think this video just saved my life. I have the same pimple on my elbow right now. Went straight to the emergency room. I am here now waiting for answers. Thank you. From the bottoms of my heart. Thank you for posting this video. I will check back in to update if anyone is interested.
They said it was just a pimple lmao
