Thank you for your wonderful videos
What if you don’t really like steak? I like chicken
Your friend is so hot!
Ashley needs her own channel, she’s a great speaker. Clear, concise, and down to earth.
I would love this. She and I share a same story. However, in the two months I’ve been doing this way of eating, I’ve been stalled for the last month. What am I doing wrong?
Definitely!!!
Right?!
Yes! First impression was how great of a speaker she is.
Agreed!❤
I can definitely relate to the emotional side of eating , especially during the holidays. Also wanting to "be normal." Thanks for addressing these important issues.
The cookie story really resonated with me 😭
Laura Spath is actually Laura's Path.
This was amazing! Been carnivore on and off for 8 months, but only strict for the first 4 months. I needed to hear Ashley's story to revitalize me! Thank you both. 👌
We were in Houston 2 weeks ago with I would have known! I’ll be in Phoenix in a few weeks is there any place like that there?? I’ve converted my husband, 2 brothers, and my daughter staring today to carnivore! Your videos are a huge inspiration!
So inspiring! That's what I remind myself on carnivore.. it doesn't always look perfect but if it helps you stay with the program then rock on! ❤
I loved this episode!
I was made for carnivore I have always craved to eat this way all of it is my favorite foods but I was brainwashed against it. To sit and eat a bowl of salted garlic, ground beef is heaven to me. I love it and your recipes are awesome.
I’m that person that cannot leave half a cookie. That’s how I know I’m a sugar addict. I noticed one of my girlfriends at my daughter in laws bridal shower that she didn’t eat more than a few bites of the cake. I thought at that time - I cannot eat a few bites and leave it. I have to eat the whole slice.
If you see a half a cookie by me, it's because I've already eaten 6 and I couldn't finish. 😂
I’m considering the carnivore diet to see if it will help with my lipo-lymphedema.
Welcome to Houston.
Can we not use olive oil?
I would love a carnivore resteraunt here in South Florida... So pretty and fresh.
Can I just say about inflammation? For me I finally noticed that dairy does that to me. It makes my feet swell and be screamingly painful. I was lucky though...I already didn't like most dairy based dipping things like ranch and sour cream and unlike many folk I know, I don't live for cheese! LOL So when I get the chance to try this ( soon I hope ) I will not have cheese and cream to milk things along. ( sorry pun lol ) My shoe size used to be 16W men's driving moccasins and now I'm back into a nice ladies size again. Bless and continued sucess.
I guess I am normal, have been pretty much carnivore for over 10 months and on special occasions can eat the small piece of cake with the family or whatever. But I know in my head I will not take another bite because it's garbage. I do feel 100% better when I stay super low carb
Nice restaurant. 🎉
Been Carnivore for a month, and love that I only eat once a day. And I eat good- steaks, bacon, eggs, ribs, burgers, fish,...and I save money too. I fast one day a week, which ends up being a 47 1/2 hour fast once a week. So I'm only buying 6 meals a week, nd that makes shopping quick and easy. I never liked just cooking for myself, but now I am interested in cooking for myself and trying new things. I didn't have a lot of weight to lose, but got tired of looking 5-months pregnant in pictures. I was down to my ideal weight in 2 weeks. Now working on getting my 6-pack abs back at 61 yo. Winning!
Damn-Sounds exactly like me.. Fully disappointed that I’ve been fooled my whole (58yo) life about foods.. Only need to lose 20-25lbs and then I want to shred it as this will extend my life even more. My dad called it quits at 98 and he was an MD. Told me for years that red meat is excellent and not to listen to the medical industry as they were full of sh*t.
Cut out ALL but meats/eggs and have not yet started exercise, but the weight is starting to fluctuate and drop-Cool!
Love to hear success stories Congratulations!🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Congratulations!!!!! Stay the course; today is my first day .🙏🙏🙏
"You're gonna find me in an alleyway trying to do some shady stuff to get more donuts".... truth😂😢
Moving to Alaska helped my donut problem since there aren't any good donuts here (though occasionally I can find an apple fritter) but that's better for me anyway.
ii😅😂😂
🙋🏼♀️ Same!
That would be me. I ho with my.friends for coffee where they have the best scones. And they all share. They say just have a little bit but if I fo I will be going home with 2 or 3 and eat them
I have been trying so hard to become keto/carnivore do to high blood sugar levels, but I am confused as to how to do this properly
What I love about eating carnivore is, for me I stopped having all the cravings for not anything in particular, just don’t have them anymore. For me that is a life changing, positive, thing, as I sit here enjoying some bacon while watching your video, thinking, “ who needs a cookie?, not me! “.
Same, and this is a huge perk. Im only Carnivore a few days a week, a few carbs on other days, but even with that.... no more cravings. The way it used to be is Id eat crap all day, then at night, get cravings for junk food like chips or cookies
Same. I did the Emmerich Carnivore challenge in January and my cravings have been virtually non-existant since.
I can’t even imagine wanting to eat a cookie again
Exactly!👌-I remember (intellectually) that I like(d) this or that food but *I have no desire for them*!
That is, there is ZERO emotional draw or connection to them 🤷🏻
You folks are lucky. Been carnivore months but I still have the cravings for the junk food. It is easier to resist but the cravings are there.
WOW! YOU TWO ARE GREAT TOGETHER! SO INSPIRING! AT 75 IM DOING THIS! GO GIRLS🎉
I'm also 75 carnivore.Helps me so much.I can't believe it
I’m 79 and just as excited!
@@margaretoconnor874Have you been carnivore long? Do you eat vegetables at all and how do you feel overall? I’m 78 and keep trying to do carnivore but get confused with all the information we’re bombarded with regarding Mediterranean diet, Blue Zones, etc. I’m in fairly good health but do have high blood pressure and low thyroid with not much energy anymore. Would really like to hear your results with carnivore.
Me too, and I'm only 66!
Am 77, just learning about Carnivore. Have been steadily gaining weight since age 40, then bizzarly around 45. Nothing works!! Thinking I have Intermittent Cushing’s or Adrenal Fatigue. Have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, after a car accident that caused me to have 11 surgeries including replacement hips and knees, hand and rotator cuff surgery. Due to pain and fibromyalgia I have become pretty disabled. Looking forward to recovery!
Baptists do know how to eat. Eating is very social.
I think gluttony is the only sin we don’t recognize.
Truth…being a baptist and doing what I call ketovore (transitioning to carnivore) …it’s a . “Sin” not to eat all the fried foods and sweets … at the potluck meals!
Gout, type 2 diabetes, and other health problems related to food gluttony are very scary for me😮
Catholic and grew up with huge amounts of food to be social!
I'm only 18 and already with blood pressure problems and limb swelling, I don't have too much fat to lose but my blood pressure has been freaking me out, I started carnivore this week and in first two days I lost two pounds of water from my body! No matter how good a Cookie is, I'm not willing to compromise my health and my future! I want to have kids and I need to be in my peak health to birth healthy babies 🙏❤
Laura, you are one of the most relatable carnivores. There are always so many great gems that you say that always hits me. One of those gems was that this diet needs to be sustainable. It's not a contest to see who is the most perfect carnivore. It's about consistency, not perfection. Thank you!
You both are fortunate that your spouses came along on the carnivore journey. While my husband of nearly 30 years is supportive of my choices, neither he nor my 24 yo son will give up the donuts, pasta, and rice. Fortunately, that stuff normally doesn't tempt me...until I'm tired or stressed! But so far, since 1/1/24, I've stayed strong!
Good job!
Same. I did 30 days and lost 22 pounds while still cooking other items for the family. I haven’t been carnivore since having surgery in February (have been keto). I want to get back to carnivore but just finding it hard to get motivated to do so doing it alone.
we cannot, as you prob know, change anyone! Focus on your health and your great example may ,not guaranteed,...but may do this way of eating at some point. Most people are so addicted to carbs n sugar that they just dig in their feet deeper in the mire if you nag. It usually backfires...it did for me.
Keep going. I’m going strong since 01/01/24 as well. My husband and daughter are the same. It’s hard but it’s definitely gotten easier. You got this sis. 🎉🎉🎉
Wow. I hope you continue on this path. It is hard i am struggling but determined
Love the story about the cookie. My mother and I were always at loggerheads because I was one who couldn’t eat in moderation and she could have boxes and boxes of cookies in the kitchen and sit down and eat 2 in an afternoon and never touch them again. I’d devour the entire cookie jar and she’d freak out. “Why do you eat them ALL?” and I’d answer “Why do you BRING THEM ALL HOME?”
I felt that down to the bone.
Hey twin. 👋🏾 😂🤦🏽♀️😩
I didn't go carnivore because of weight..i have autoimmune issues. And it's really helped me to FEEL better!!!
Yes!!! I feel so much better on the carnivore diet!! So many benefits other than weight loss
Same here rheumatoid arthritis is much better
@@lisaharris9960I’m seriously thinking of trying this for my RA.
I have hashimoto’s, hoping this will help….
Great video! You ladies are so cute, at one point it dawned on me that you look like a couple of beautiful QVC hosts. 😍
Yes! That's the vibe, so cute.
Totally
My sister-in-laws don’t understand how at the holidays I can take one bite of a dessert or have nothing. I thank God I can leave it. I prepped Laura’s meatballs and had them for dinner tonight. Delicious and easy for dinner. I love the simplicity of this way of eating. I’m down 80 lbs. Congrats Ashley.
I flew out to see my family at Christmas. I made it though the dinner just meat but my mom who can barely stand had made my favorite "Hello Dolly" 7 layer cookies. She cried I wouldnt even try one. Geez. I took a bite and spit it out. I felt bad but it tasted like poison. It literally tasted like chemicals. I apologized to her.
So glad you two spoke about moderating vs. abstaining ❤❤❤❤
It’s a DEFINITE struggle for most, can’t eat half a cookie without finishing …
❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU BOTH ❤❤❤❤
This was so encouraging! I started following you day one when my husband and I began last March and Ashley recently through your stories. My husband is down almost 100lbs and we are so thankful for how we now feel on this life God has given us.
"like go running, we're not running.." 😂😂😂 Me neither. This mamma don't run.
24:09 OMG! I’ve never heard anyone else say that they have the opposite of body dysmorphia. I have that as well when I think of myself, I don’t see myself as very overweight, but when I see videos of myself I am stunned at how overweight I look. That is part of why I started doing a RUclips blog on my carnivore diet journey because I need to see myself on video regularly. Not to shame myself, but to have a clearer view of where I really am at.
Lol I can so relate to the reverse body dysmorphia. I thought I looked so cute in my new outfit until I saw a picture of myself and realized I was the biggest person in the picture. Oh the horror!! My life changed after that day! I’m now down roughly about 35lbs with about 10 more to go. 🙌🙌
Thank you! You are both so relatable. I have realized that I can't go back to sugar because I know me. I can never eat sugar in "moderation." One piece of birthday cake will turn into a piece of birthday cake every single day for breakfast until it's gone.
Oh my goodness...YES! I am not a moderator. I was zero carb / mostly carnivore for 3 yrs and lost craving for anything sweet completely. Donuts at work? No problem..
No longer tempted. BUT...
4 months ago quit smoking. Started majorly craving carbs esp sweets again. 😞. Thought it was the no cigarettes but all of a sudden realized that the vape I used to wean off was sweet tasting! Bingo....that sweet taste in my mouth again led to the continuous cravings!!
I really want to thank you for pointing this out! I also weaned off smoking using vapes, then off nicotine using zero nicotine vapes. I hadn't thought about the potential connection between the sweet taste of the vapes and cravings. I'm hoping to put the vapes away entirely soon, even though they no longer have nicotine. Congrats on quitting to you as well! Best wishes!
I quit cigarettes using vaping too, and gained 70 pounds. I'm on day 5 of carnivore and the change in my appetite is miraculous- I used to be a binge eater and always ate due to boredom too, regardless of hunger. I think this is what got me because I could just smoke a cigarette if I was bored and it would keep my hands busy for at least 6 minutes.
Now on carnivore if I've had enough meat or eggs to eat, the idea of eating more food "just because" makes me nauseous and is entirely unappealing.
@@MrsLilyDark Thank you! I am hoping to give up the vapes too very very soon!
@@marianne1959 You can totally do it hun! Best wishes!
It was always such a hard thing to understand, but my sister who has never been overweight…she could nurse a coke or sandwich and leave parts of food…I always ate alllllll!
My husband and I started carnivore 1/1/24. He has lost at least 30 lbs. I am so upset because it was my idea. LOL!!!! I'm proud of him and happy for him. I have lost weight. Since I've struggled with my weight most of my life, I am not a fan of the scale. I've lost about 15 lbs. I do not feel deprived or hungry like I have when I changed my eating in the past. Thank you, Laura!!!!
Keep going your doing great, we men lose weight quicker but your losing meaningful weight as long as you are being honest with yourself about how strict you are on this diet. If you find yourself wanting a boost of weight loss go full Lion Diet (eliminating everything except water, salt, & ruminant meat) Mikayla Peterson just did a response to the Mayo Clinic’s Lion Diet hit piece. Anyways I’ve been in since 1/31/24 and I am also down 25lbs now but I take pics every week, measurements of all my extremities and abdomen so that I can see progress in more ways than just the scale. I do this because I’m weight lifting and expect to gain muscle weight as I lose fat weight.
Its common men decrease faster , but stay Carnavore, as women dont regain as fast,, that's the trade off, good luck, 20 is huge start
@@daleval2182 Sorry, but women regain faster too. Women are constantly battling their body's nutrition and fat hoarding because the universe demands that our bodies constantly build stockpiles to grow healthy potential babies. All nature expects of men is the ability to make sperm and be fit enough to defend and feed his babies.
I get this. I wanted to do this for years he started and lost 40 lbs in about 6 months and I have only lot 23 in a year lol
Watch Dr. Bright’s videos, you may need a higher fat carnivore to lose more weight, a lot of women have struggled with this. Her book is great “Good fat is good for women”
I love how you two talk to us in the camera and not so much to each other. Usually when people have guests on their channel they talk and laugh between each other and I feel uninvolved. Loved this video.
Might be the best vid I have seen of yours! Two Big Girls working through the obesity epidemic ... one helping the other ... which in turn cna help hundreds or thousands! Absolutely, loved the way both of you have explained your journeys! 🤗
Welcome to Texas Laura. Good for y'all on the healing via Carnivore.
Im going to take a chance and do Carnivore. Lets see how it goes...
You will never go back
I agree, you won't look back. However. If you are full standard American diet, I would suggest cutting back first before you cut out the sugars altogether. It will make it so much easier of a transition.
@@iloveseaglass I tried it for 3 months - ended up at the doctors and revealed I now have hyperthyroidism. It isn't sunshine and roses for everyone.
@@bigdaddyht1079 According to Professor Bart Kay you should slowly transition over 3 months because your body needs to adapt to a different microbiome. He said if you don't you could end up with some serious health problems. That maybe why I developed hyperthyroidism after 90 days carnivore - I don't know.
Hopefully the endocrinology department at the hospital will be able to give me further insight.
How’s it going? I’ve tried several times but always end up feeling so fatigued, still trying, mostly carnivore, but have some fruit at night.
There is profound freedom in abstinence…it seems paradoxical to people “on the outside” but I’ve never felt like this. I’ve NEVER been in the situation before where I’m losing weight while eating delicious food to satiety and not counting calories/macros. It’s so easy, I almost can’t believe it. Feels like a miracle. It’s so easy to say no to the “wrong” foods because living this way feels so good I’d never want to do anything to compromise it.
I feel the same way. For the first time in my life I feel freedom from food while eating till I'm full.
I can't seem to lose any weight eating this way I don't understand. So much hair loss too. Could it possibly not work for everyone??
@@shanhare76 I think it’s definitely possible. I’ve heard other people say the same thing. I’m not sure why it’s like that sometimes. I wish I had an answer for you :/
Judy Cho recently had a post about under eating. If your hair is falling out under eating protein and fat could be the cause. A friend of mine said she didn't start loosing weight until she started eating more protein and fat.@shanhare76
how long have you been total carnivore?@@shanhare76
I’m so glad you touched on the teenager part. Because I have two teen boys and adult daughter and I want so badly for them to eat better. Been doing carnivore for almost 1 years lost 33lbs , some slip ups but never gave up!
It was COVID for me too when I hit my max weight but also when I suspected my COBID diet was causing rashes and joint pain I'd never had before despite trying to eat healthier during the shutdown. But those "healthy" choices were triggering the food intolerance breakouts, rashes, joint pain and weight gain. As I amended my diet and focused more on protein and non-starchy vegetables, things cleared up. I lost my husband to cancer in 2021 and moved in late 2022. Early last year I stumbled across Dr. Berry's RUclips channel with guest Kelly Hogan and her journey. I started following many different carnivore channels (I really enjoy yours), along with following Dr. Pelz and did my research and began my initial carnivore journey. I quickly dropped 45lbs but have many more to go to keep my promise to my late husband of losing pound for pound every pound the cancer stole from him. I've fallen off and on the diet. Over the past year but I'm refocusing my efforts to be at my goal by his birthday this year. This is the only lifestyle change I've ever made that is enjoyable because it's more than about weight-loss, it's about good food and a healing and healthier way of living. I've never been more energized and so non-fixated on a specific food or lack of food most diets cause you to obsess on. By the next new year, I'll be a new and healthier me.
So so sorry for your loss of your dear husband. I lost my husband to cancer in 2008. Good for you for taking your life and health into your own hands and keeping your promise to him.
There is life after the loss of our spouses. We just have to fight for it!❤❤❤
Oh, so sorry for your loss! 💔
Great that you are taking care of yourself though! ❤
My hubby and I are a 62 yr old team in our jounry as well.. we hit 1 year full carnivore this past Febuary..we both stopped losing weight for now but are very happy to be where we are in our health and weight loss. We are both off all medications for roughly 6 months now..we do not fast at all but do use LMNT everyday...our favorite go to is hambugers on our grill...we just grilled our first london broil and it turned out good...
I'm 50 and your story is inspiring...
I'm filling up the freezer with meat and plan to start very soon. I care for someone with Huntington's, and my son is obese and has autism, so I need to have this organised before I start.
I have multiple myeloma and gained weight on chemo that won't budge, I have aches in my hands, feet, and knees that are stopping me from doing physical activity. I'm heading for a stem cell transplant and want to be as healthy as possible before I head into that.
My sister started 3 months ago and has lost 30kg and her psoriasis has improved.
Thanks for sharing your success at your age. ❤
Pork chips ? tell me more please. Ashley is lovely, looks like you have found a great friend in one another. So rare these days!
I need the recipe for those pork crisps that taste like Lays!!!
Y’all look like sisters 💕
This was a great motivational presentation. I’m sure many would agree that disappearing food cravings are freeing. For the last 7 months have not food obsessed at all. Laura, you’re an inspiration for us. As a lone Carnivore in my neighbourhood I need regular encouragement like this. 👏👏
I have been ketovore for a little over a year. Down 88 pounds. I’m almost 42 and would like to lose another 20 but I’m not rushing it
So agree with the food quality in Europe. I eat ‘worse’ things when I am in Germany, but usually lose weight and feel better when I am there. Great job ladies
“I think I just touched your boob.” “No, it’s okay, we’re friends”
😂😂😂
That cracked me up!!! 😂😂😂
Oh gosh! I have the same brain about the cookie!
I used to have friends in high school who could put a candy bar in their backpack - and FORGET about it! They'd find it days later, and be like "oh yeah, this thing."
Could not be me. That candy bar would have been on my mind every minute of every day until I ate it. Sometimes I think that's why I would eat certain foods - just so that I could stop thinking about them for a while.
Isn’t it funny how no one will question you about fast food, drinking liquor, desserts? But say you’re eating healthy and they are concerned that you’re gonna hurt yourself! 😂
Thank you for being so helpful and realistic. It allows me the opportunity to learn more about the process of eating a carnivore diet.
I'm not a grapefruit person and wondered what the big deal was with that new flavor until I finally tried it yesterday. It's so good! Reminds me of the taste of eating an orange 🍊 (I know sounds strange). One of my new favorites for sure!
Thanks for sharing your story!
Sweets feed the addiction. Ditto for any sweeteners.
I think my problem with food is that when I was a child there wasn't much food due to poverty. What I didn't realise was my mother was going without food to give it to us children. So you had to clear your plate, and you sat at the table until you did. I think this is always in the back of my mind. I do not have cookies/biscuits/cakes in the house. The last packet of cookies I had (my sister brought round) sat in the cupboard for 18 months. As soon as the packet was opened I would want to eat all of them.
Can we find out what Ashley eats in a day or weekly menu ideas. I very much need a "crunch" snack item that's not pork rinds and I'd love to know if she does any "sides" other than another meat choice like superLaura does. TIA!
Hi, Frances! I’m in NY. We have Costco & BJ’s “club” stores. They both sell a product called “Whisps Parmesan Crisps.” The ingredients are: Parmesan cheese, part skim milk, cheese cultures, salt and enzymes. They are crunchy, salty bites of heaven when you need that crispy snack! I don’t care for pork rinds, so these do it for me. I’m Keto, so I’ve even used a good dash of Trader Joe’s ketchup shaker & a bit of sweetener & voila! Instant Keto “BBQ” chips! BTW, Trader Joe’s has a similar snack called Cheese Bites in a much smaller bag if portion control is an issue. 🤗💖
@@stephanieilluzzi7355 Thank you! I am up to here with pork rinds and parm whisps. I will look for the cheese bites. Thank you for responding! I appreciate it!
@@frances4309 My pleasure! Check the ingredients, though, because they have a similar one that includes quinoa…too many carbs! Happy crunching! 🤗😅
Thanks Laura! YOU are amazing and I love your channel! This was a great video ❤ congratulations Ashley
I like her a lot! Y'all are great together ❤️ maybe she should consider being an influencer...I would watch her channel to 😊 thanks ladies 😁
My finger knuckles are swollen to the point I can’t wear my wedding rings. Will the PHD help?
Awesome story! Congrats to your friend - she has a good coach in you! Man, that restaurant food looked delicious!
I seriously feel like you were speaking for me! Everything you said was ME!
This video was fab!!! Love the interview-ish format. And that restaurant…wow…I wish there were more of those ‘clean’ types of restaurants!!! Thanks for posting.
I wish they didn't hike prices for sticking the word "Paleo" in front of a steak.
The thing I love best about this video is you talking about your addictions. That’s so validating to me because I struggle with the same thing. I’ve tried keto and I can’t make it stick. I’ve tried carnivore before and I’m gonna try to make it stick this time. With your help, I realize that for me, cheating with the salad, or other healthy food like kimchi, sauerkraut, avocados, all that stuff is still addictive, even if it’s healthy. It’s not necessarily healthy for me.
I'm a stay at home mom who homeschools my 5 kids, so covid was no different for me lol However, I've always struggled with my weight but it was my IBS that lead me to carnivore. I'm still working at it, but it is getting better. I feel so much better eating this already though.
Oh gosh the cookie comment... SO true. I am not a moderator. If there are ANY cookies i must finish them all. And the shady stuff for donuts... i wish it wasnt true, but abstinence is the only way for me!
Thank you for addressing being thrown into post menopause due to surgery. My life has been a nightmare with fighting the weight gain. I have an extremely hard time with sweets. Zero support system. It is so hard.
Sweets are my downfall too. When I was doing keto I found myself making too many keto "sweet" treats and it triggered me right back to real sugar.
I have to stay 100% carnivore.
Can you find some online carnivore support groups? (I think Shawn Baker has one on his website.)
Best of luck to you.
Kelly Hogan has a support group, Bella Steak and Butter gal has one. There's another called Carnivore Wellness. Those are just the ones I know of, but I'm sure there's hundreds more. Oh, I think Emily Penton has one.
I don't know of any that are free, off the top of my head, but I'm sure those exist too.
Wow I’m on Keto and use only stevia occasional erythritol keto fiber “flours”, I’ve lost 25 pounds but thinking of carnivore now because the inflammation is still intense in my joints.
Your story is very inspirational. Thanks
Woot!!! Fellow ladies on carnivore! So good to see more and more people share their story. What an inspiration both of you!!! ❤️
You are both so cute and funny and gave such great information. If I wern't already living the carnivore lifestyle I would start now
Fried foods are fine so long as you are using animal fats and not seed oils.
And buffets are fine so long as you are eating the right foods at those times.
More of Ashley!
Please and ThankYou
Danya
Great video~ congratulations Ashley on using carnivore to help you and your family!
Loved the brief comment about eating food in Italy! I was there last summer as well and even though I was at that time 1.5 years carnivore, my 1st trip to Italy…there was no way I was not going to try…the pasta, some desserts and YES eventually even the gelato! In the end, the gelato simply didn’t interest me that much even though my travel companion enjoyed having it most day. Finally, two days before our two week trip ended, I finally saw a flavor mix that intrigued me! It was good but I didn’t need to repeat it! One the trip I continued to eat mostly meat based with the exception of trying pasta twice, a few desserts and even a bit of bread, mostly because I wanted to try their olive oils! I never had a bloated feeling from any of the food I ate in Italy, it was just so different from our American versions! I didn’t gain any weight, didn’t have cravings and returned to total carnivore the minute I returned stateside! It was eye opening!
"They're poisoning us in US with our food" ...wow.
Really great video. Welcome to Another great face in the carniverse.😁👋🏻
Please tell me how you cook the burnt ends I need a recipe and instructions please
Oh my gosh it feels like Ashley literally is my clone! I have the exact same issues with not being able to do things in moderation, feeling like I should always celebrate something with food or seeing it as a reward or something I can relax with on holidays or birthdays as a spoil. Also the mentality of bingeing on everything forbidden just before you "officially" start a new diet! This video resonated with me so much it's incredible. I'm also the same age so it's really encouraging to see the amount of progress that can be made even over 40 💜
The two of you are great! The honesty and genuine friendship displayed was so refreshing! Plus, you both gave great information. Thank you!
Great interview! Enjoyed meeting Ashley and hearing about her journey! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve only seen men doing carnivore, so now my interest/curiosity is peaked…. What about the risk of gout? Have you had any issues or do you know anyone that has had issues with this eating only meat? Thanks in advance for your response. Off to watch more of your videos.
What do all these carnivores do when meat is priced with the “cost of gold”?
It is becoming more difficult to find affordable meat or fish, even chicken . Add to that, U.N. and other government orgs are making tons of regulations in ranches, etc.

I have zero moderation. W carbs. YET… take me to casino & I have No interest in gambling. In a bar? No interest in drinking. Doing drugs? My only drug would be a cookie but never interested in mind altering substances. I tried a few things in school. It was dumb & I didn’t enjoy it at all!
Those “moderation” people probably have some other addiction. Shopping, sex, serial killer?😆
I feel you. Before menopause I was a very active lean vegan on a very high carb diet, though mostly whole foods. After menopause and an injury to my knee I’m insulin resistant with around a stone extra around my middle. Reluctantly I’ve gone keto with mostly meat and fish. Surprise surprise, depression , anxiety and joint pain have as good as gone.
ok....a bit confused ( my fault ) is yogurt ok...cheeses ?
Congratulations to Ashley! Laura, thank you for sharing your friend (she's a firecracker in the best way) and her story with us. I am carnivore 95% of the time and feel amazing. But, I had to stop eating dairy/cheese since I noticed some subtle ickiness in my body. Pray for me going "dairy-free" because I LOVE cheese. : ( But, feeling better dairy-free is worth it for me. : )
Be well and have fun preparing for Madrid. : ) See you next time.
Great video, inspirational! Thank you for sharing your story Ashley.
You both look amazing 🎉
I’ve been doing carnivore for 3 eeeks and I haven’t lost 1 lb.
I loose a few in oz. Maybe even a lb… then I’m back up. Just toddering .
I have 40 lbs to loose.
I lost 62 Lbs In 7 Months.
Now I feel like Batman.
I would like to find A Christian Caveman Girl Friend Diet.
I find that the unflavored version is great in warm water before bedtime.. the flavored versions are so good while working during the day.. mmm😊
I'm so glad that Ashley's teens are interested, and adopting ealthy habits. I'm inspired by your story. (And I love watching your channel, Laura!) I began eating carnivore when my girls were mid teens. I lost 50 pounds and my blood sugars are so much better (T1D). One daughter (now 18) is convinced that this is what she wants to do, but not yet, because it's challenging. My other daughter (19) is not interested. I wish I had known how to eat properly when they were tiny, when I could have actually fed them properly.
I couldn't be a moderation eater either, who can eat half a cookie? I want the whole plate..dang... thanks for the video
I just made banana muffins for my son and after eating my carnivore breakfast wanted to dive face first into them. I just restarted carnivore and today is day 4. The cravings are gone but when faced with it I'm still struggling. There is no way that I would have just eaten one muffin so i totally get it. I am so glad that this is the video that I turned on!
Laura, thanks to you I went carnivore a year ago. I have dropped 10kgs, the pain in my back is almost gone and I feel great! Your videos has been a big help and inspiration. Thanks! ❤
