This was awesome! I first tried the sardine fast after watching your first video on it, but I went over to Dr. BOZ and watched her video that leads us up to a 72 hour water fast by first doing beef & butter for 5 days, then just butter for 3, followed with the sardine fast for 72 hours. I was then ready for a 3 day water fast. After that I followed the whole thing by reversing the fasts and doing the sardine, then the butter, followed by beef & butter, then back to my normal eating a keto diet. I felt my very best on the days I ate only sardines, or just had water. Interesting experiment for me. Thank you for this video. I believe it will help a lot of people get in touch with their own bodies.
There shouldn’t be any negativity on this channel. We should all appreciate everything you do for us- videos, recipes, research. Thank you so much, Anita! I enjoy all your videos ❤️
Some of this talk is because you’re giving information out there for us to use but I feel most of it’s because you got such a negative remarks and that’s just so sad. Wouldn’t it be nice if negative remarks just got bleeped off. Lol. You go girl!! I am one of those people that would not do the starting fast if it wasn’t for your part one video that gave me some ideas that still pretty much keto for sure and carnivore. So without you, Anita, it wouldn’t be happening for me, and now it is, you are an awesome person and an inspiration to me. ❤
I started my sardine challenge today, Sat Nov 11. After 2 cans I am feeling great at 8:00pm. Taking it one day at a time with a goal of making it through to 72 hours. I would never have tried it without your videos and recipes!!!!!! Thank you so very much! Love from Peterborough, ON.
You know you’re onto something valuable when all of the complainers come out of the woodwork! Thanks for doing these sardine videos; I’m starting my first sardine fast on Wednesday 🎉
Love Sardines and have eaten of them for ever. These foods have helped me control my health issues. My skin is better now that I have started to eat fish every AM.
Thank you so much for your common sense approach. I love sardines, especially in olive oil and I love how good they are for me. Everyone has to do what works for them, you just give us more ideas and options and we're so grateful for it! 😍
I absolutely adore your dry wit and humor. I never ate a sardine before your first video. I got several different cans and actually enjoyed all of them. I think I'll try the challenge. Thank you for posting this. 🙂
You are so sweet to offer all of that detailed explanation about the sardine challenge. Your encouraging words about it the first time made me try them for the first time as well. Though I'm not over the moon about them yet but because of health benefits I will be adding them into the rotation. Your various recipes helped and also the recommendation about the brisling ones. My favorite also. You're the best and we appreciate all of your videos. Thanks, Karen and Therese
Because of you and your videos I did the 3 day sardine challenge. I don't love them but I don't hate them either. People are such babies sometimes. It's food. It beats water fasting for 3 days. I like this as a reset from time to time. Even on carnivore you can get to a point where you eat too much dairy. So thanks, I'll be doing this challenge again for sure.
I can finally go later in the day to eat. I am doing ribeye and sardines and really I eat 8oz then give the rest away and drink a glass of hot tea. I checked my weight it is the same as measured In doctors office all same. I do feel slim and svelte. Going on trip so It a cabin with kitchen . My friends and I are doing it economically so sardines will be going.
I have found sardines to be quite filling/satisfying, & can only eat two cans a day~ whether it be one can at lunch & one for dinner, or even two at the same time. That's it for the day, for me. When I've bought the water-packed variety, I usually add some melted butter or even bacon fat~ which also adds flavor along with the fat. I do this because I find them a bit dryer in texture than the ones in olive oil. Hope this helps someone, & I hope others feel as amazing as I do when I eat them! *Also, my glucose drops 10-20 points, & my ketones at least double~ if that interests anybody.
Kudos to your friend who does your film and editing!!! Love the bloopers 😂 One of the only channels I listen to without fast forwarding as I don’t want to miss anything👍🏻
I’ve been doing the sardine challenge since your first video introduced me to the concept, typically once a fortnight and have definitely seen improvements in my numbers. Thank you for all of your videos on this subject and for introducing me to both Dr Boz’s and Dr Weideman’s channels, as I’ve found them helpful too. 😊
I have been eating sardines & doing several sardine fasts so my doctor tested me for mercury & heavy metals. I didn’t have any. Yay! I have grown to love these little fishes! My favorite is just to sauté them in butter especially at breakfast. It’s become a comfort food. Strangely, I’ve never eaten a sardine before this year. Thanks Anita for your recipes!!!!
Wise as ever dear Lady!! Just focus on the positive & ignore the nay sayers!! Pray You are on the mend at least!! Can You tell if You will sail through pretty well yet?!? Praying!!
Anita you are working so hard to make this challenge easier for everyone. You are so special and I for one, among thousands, appreciate all this effort and sharing. Especially since you are preparing for a huge move. Please take it easy and have some fun moving to Victoria. ❤❤🥰
It always amuses me how we as humans can take a very simple thing and make it complicated. I have not done the challenge but am working myself up to trying sardines again. I have never been a fan of fish in general even though my parents loved fishing and cooking their catch. At least I know I can filet a fish if I need to. Lol. Tuna, Salmon and Mackrel we had as a sandwich or fried patties and I don't mind those so maybe sardine patties..? Since Dad ate them on crackers maybe my 63 year old mind still thinks thats the only way to eat them. I may try the fried sometime 😊 Love your videos Anita!
Thank you, Anita! I appreciate that you've done all this homework and research! Also, perhaps you might consider frozen sardines...Walmart sells some. No need to worry about oils. Funny thing...on the US, many frozen small fishes are sold as bait or dog treats!
I tried sardines for first time tonight, but I am crazy about seafood so I didn't think it would be an issue. I just dumped a can of boneless in olive oil on a plate and sat down to try it. My cat, a black kitten I rescued a few months ago, went nuts, lol. Jumped up on me, on my plate, tried to steal one. The dog, who she usually gets along with, rushed over to sniff and see what the big deal was about, she hissed at him (which she never does, they get along), then she snatched up a sardine and ran away with the tiny fish in her mouth. Had to put her in her cage so I could finish because she kept coming back. Other than meowing for her meals if I'm late, I have never seen her go nuts like that over food. She doesn't even like treats! She's gonna make it hard to prep for this challenge, let alone take the challenge! So funny.
Its about healthy eating. I am a retired nurse and i was trained to push the SAD diet... trolls just chill..move on if you wsnt to hate. Like dr Berry.. i feel guilty for giving nasty advise for 36 years. I really appreciate snd love you Anita
I do a sardine and tuna day once a week. I feel so good but have to be careful of my ketones...if they go higher i have more problems with seborrheic dermatitis. Brain happy is wonderful!
There's all kinds of people in TH-cam land that make all sorts of snarky comments, it's just ridiculous. You certainly are not deserving of any of them. Have a wonderful day Anita thanks for all you do.
Just finished my first 72 hour sardine challenge!! It was easier than I thought it would be thanks to your great recipes! You "liked" my post about starting the challenge; it was soooo encouraging! Thank You ❤
I just watched Dr. Boz talk about sardines she’s got a couple videos, I can’t remember which one but she does that you would have to eat tons and tons of sardines before you even need to worry about it. And if you don’t feel comfortable with the plastic in the can then she put up a picture. She said you can buy them in a jar glass jar if this is helpful.
After your other video, I got some sardines in water... Ah ! I like them best ! I used to think I only liked the mustard pack. But, no... I like plain best of all.
Thank you Anita for another great lesson. I recently finished a sardine "challenge" and had the best results yet (I have done 3 other challenges). I have struggled to get my blood glucose below 100 (always in the low 100s) but this morning it was 89 and ketones 2.1 (normally ketones are around 1). Anyway, it just reminded me that our bodies do what they're going to do when they're ready and not before. It seems like the critics are just trying to find a reason not to do the challenge. OK ... don't do the challenge!😊You are so gracious about the negative comments.❤
Not everyone does it for weight loss, but for health reasons like getting off their meds, no more inflammation or arthritis and then you get a bonus by losing weight and not starving by making a lifestyle change 😊🎉😊🎉!!!!!!!
Hi Anita! I really like doing the sardine challenge. I eat two cans at the time. I drain out the water and usually don’t add anything. I’ve just completed mine three days sardine in time for the weekend invite to BBQ cook out. I will be bringing my DIY egg white tortillas.
Amazing appetite suppressant. I’ve heard people on Ozempic describe this and I feel I got it with these little fishes. Cheaper too! Mine were olive oil and I drained put on butter or bacon lard. Fat= ketones. I stayed the same weight but I am already at my low base weight. Been Carnivore since Sean Baker challenged 60 days had lost on Keto like 50 lbs. Never got off except holidays keto.
Shucks! I did it with eggs! Good 👍 There is a egg fast and butter fast and sardines fast! So what the heck! Do all of them together!I say!lol love all your content!💞
I'm doing one starting on Monday! I love sardines. Excited to get off of a stall. I haven't been in ketosis either. Hoping this helps. Thank you for all your great videos. The nay sayers are bunk. You rock!
I used to buy frozen pilchards from my fisho but it is annoying to clean them. I also think smoked herring and smoked barramundi might be nice too. I like the wild barramundi belly offcuts similar to your salmon belly. nice and fatty. Sardines are economical and really nutrient dense. I am getting inspired to do this challenge. Thanks for your video.
Hey Anita, lol I am on those people who do not like sardines. Well, when I was younger once in a while, I could eat sardines and mustard. I tried Dr. Boz sardine fast and it was just too many plane sardines I made it for a day and a half I was choking, but I have since watched your part one and part two videos here of different ways to eat them and I gotta say I love you you have given me hope to try it again, and this time to be able to finish. I am so sorry people give you hateful remarks. Thank you for all the time spent watching other videos and giving us recipes and linking them. That’s a lot of work you’re doing to help us do a sardine fast so again thank you so much. 🥰
I wonder if one would have the same glucose and ketone results using only sardines in water. I literally just tried my first sardine ever, preparing them with indigo's protein powder and air frying them. Totally doable this way. Now to venture forward trying some of your recipes. You never disappoint!
I think the only thing I would suggest with that is to add the fat another way. Either add butter or your own oil, it's the fat that helps to get those ketones up there.
Thanks Anita, great 2 part video series. I haven't completed a sardine challenge YET, but I've started implementing them into my carnivore diet. Plus, after watching this series, I'm gearng myself up for the 3 day challenge, Thanks again, you're such an inspiration. Angie from Down Under 😊
I also ask myself ‘am I hungry enough to eat a can of sardines’! This is my last day of the 3 day challenge, thank God! I might choke down another can this evening. They are so filling. One benefit is that last night I slept super good with my highest Fitbit score. Also, I am down about 7 pounds but I felt really bloated before I started.
Great video Anita, very well explained. Much appreciated. Good answers to the questions. Currently watching Indigo Nili on her first sardine challenge. She was so excited to get her sardine shopping bad from Trader Joe. I’m so jealous wish we had that shop in the UK. Keep doing what you are doing. 😍🇬🇧
At the risk of getting busted by the keto police, I will admit to eating a can or 2 of anchovies during my sardine challenge. I love the flavor and saltiness of anchovies and since they’re a little fish, I thought they’d be an ok substitute when the thought of another can of sardines just turns my stomach. Now that I watched the Thomas DeLauer video you posted, I feel so much better about doing this! He rates anchovies as the top type of canned fish. Yes, I’m eating them in olive oil because that’s what I find but I’m still ok with that. Thanks Anita. As always, you totally rock❤
I am so happy to have you on my side! I absolutely love to watch your your videos for your positivity, experience and your kind heart. I am continuing my sardine challenge this month everyday when possible. About 2-3 cans in an morning, afternoon, 6 hour eating window. I do still have to clean up my coffee. Tough one for me! Somedays during the month I eat carnivore because of outings. I am challenging myself to hold on to good ketones and glucose. Today was the lowest glucose ever! Ketones, we will get there I am sure. I am going for a walk and that will help. My weight came down a little. Years of yo-yo diets. And unfortunately years of being sedentary because of a car accident. Thank you. I cant wait until you have a new video. ❤ 😊
Thanks, Anita, for your videos. I am looking forward to seeing you in your new kitchen. are you going to use red touches in your kitchen? You don’t have to answer me…just wondering…anyway I enjoy sardines and have always done so, I have a tin of sardines most days as a snack and if it’s in spring water I drink the fishy salty water as well. I am mostly carnivore now for 10 weeks and have lost about 10 kg. I am Getting near my my desired weight so I watch your videos to motivate me …thanks again :)
Very informative! I'm an experienced water faster, but lately I've been stuck at 36 hours, so I decided to do the sardine challenge to strengthen my fasting muscle a bit. Looking forward to starting tomorrow!
Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your videos. They are so helpful and informative and you have a way with words that I think many of us can relate to. I personally have done several sardine challenges at this point (along with my husband), and we have both seen and felt the benefits, so we'll continue to include sardines in our diet. I am apparently in the minority of people who happen to like sardines, so I think I'm lucky in that respect. I can imagine that someone who struggles with the taste of sardines may have a hard time getting through 72 hours, but as you said, even just adding a can to your diet from time to time is beneficial. By the way, I just wanted to comment on how healthy your hair is looking these days. Due in part to Omega 3s, maybe? ;-)
Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us. I’m just getting ready to do my first sardine challenge. Your videos and links have been very helpful.
We love you and you make a huge difference and show us all that we can fail or do things our own way and have room for improvements if we do choose, your very much an inspiration keep doing what your doing!❤💗🥰
I want to say thank you so much for your content. I love your Facebook group and I am so grateful for all the energy and time you put into making these videos. 🧡
Whenever you feel the urge to have a reset. I will likely do it a couple times a year.

Hi! I'm in Québec, Canada. I tried a sardine challenge, but it ends with an eggs/sardines one!!. Eating just sardines is hard for me, but i will try a sardines only as soon as I feel like. Out of there, i'm carnivore since 2 or 3 months. Not to lose weight, but feel more energetic. (Hope my english is not too bad...)
Ok Anita...I am allllmost convinced. Lol. Watching you and even Gordon Ramsay cooking mackerel and sardines I am thinking about this lol. I am starting with mackerel and will go from there. 😉
I have a mild histamine issue , I take quercetine helped so much….but that was me …and I just have mild so I am getting ready to do this fast. I would love to hear experiences from those jumping right into a sardine fast from a sad diet.

I don’t know how ANYONE could leave you a negative comment. You’re the nicest person on TH-cam! Thank you for this informative video.
Thank you so much!
The Sardine Police are always trying to find something fishy! 👮
Anita i think you are a kind gentle spirit. I find some commenters are snarky nit-picky trolls. But you are very nice to them.
Thank you Anita for all you do for us! You are so encouraging and non-judgmental. That is so refreshing!
This was awesome! I first tried the sardine fast after watching your first video on it, but I went over to Dr. BOZ and watched her video that leads us up to a 72 hour water fast by first doing beef & butter for 5 days, then just butter for 3, followed with the sardine fast for 72 hours.

I felt my very best on the days I ate only sardines, or just had water. Interesting experiment for me. Thank you for this video. I believe it will help a lot of people get in touch with their own bodies.
Wow that's an awesome experiment!
Ooooo sardines r yummy!!! It's drops your bld sugar. increases your ketones and is equivalent to a water fast!!! Excellent!!
What more could you ask for!? 😍
There shouldn’t be any negativity on this channel. We should all appreciate everything you do for us- videos, recipes, research. Thank you so much, Anita! I enjoy all your videos ❤️
I appreciate that!
I'm starting my second sardine fast tomorrow thank to the Sardine Queen Anita!
oh yay, I'm Royalty! 😍
Some of this talk is because you’re giving information out there for us to use but I feel most of it’s because you got such a negative remarks and that’s just so sad. Wouldn’t it be nice if negative remarks just got bleeped off. Lol. You go girl!!

So without you, Anita, it wouldn’t be happening for me, and now it is, you are an awesome person and an inspiration to me. ❤
Thank you so much! Definitely the topic of sardines seems to rub some people the wrong way!
I was brought up eating sardines as a young girl & I still love them ❤️
Especially with onion and lemon or capers to add the acid. Yum.
I started my sardine challenge today, Sat Nov 11. After 2 cans I am feeling great at 8:00pm. Taking it one day at a time with a goal of making it through to 72 hours. I would never have tried it without your videos and recipes!!!!!! Thank you so very much! Love from Peterborough, ON.

oh so wonderful to hear that!
thank you for all of those interesting words anita. you definitely have the patience of a saint and are very much appreciated.
Because of you and your videos I did the 3 day sardine challenge. I don't love them but I don't hate them either. People are such babies sometimes. It's food. It beats water fasting for 3 days. I like this as a reset from time to time. Even on carnivore you can get to a point where you eat too much dairy. So thanks, I'll be doing this challenge again for sure.
This! I don't like water fasting and every now and then I get to a point where the dairy has taken over my life again! This is a great reset for me!
I can finally go later in the day to eat. I am doing ribeye and sardines and really I eat 8oz then give the rest away and drink a glass of hot tea. I checked my weight it is the same as measured In doctors office all same. I do feel slim and svelte. Going on trip so It a cabin with kitchen . My friends and I are doing it economically so sardines will be going.
I find it astounding how something as simple as a sardine fast can result in so many questions??
I have found sardines to be quite filling/satisfying, & can only eat two cans a day~ whether it be one can at lunch & one for dinner, or even two at the same time. That's it for the day, for me. When I've bought the water-packed variety, I usually add some melted butter or even bacon fat~ which also adds flavor along with the fat. I do this because I find them a bit dryer in texture than the ones in olive oil. Hope this helps someone, & I hope others feel as amazing as I do when I eat them! *Also, my glucose drops 10-20 points, & my ketones at least double~ if that interests anybody.
Those magical fishies!
Thanks for so that info.

SARDINES 7day helped me so much. I had a life time of contraption and this fixed me I will never guit eating sardines❤❤❤❤❤😅🎉
That's great!

So glad you made it through! I plan to finish out November with one as well!
@@KetogenicWomanNice. Thanks for your support!!
I never hard of the sardines fast.. but I love sardines and will give this fast a try! Thanks for the info!
You have way more patience with these trolls than I would have! Good job.
I just watched Dr. Boz talk about sardines she’s got a couple videos, I can’t remember which one but she does that you would have to eat tons and tons of sardines before you even need to worry about it. And if you don’t feel comfortable with the plastic in the can then she put up a picture. She said you can buy them in a jar glass jar if this is helpful.

Ah ! I like them best !
I used to think I only liked the mustard pack.
But, no... I like plain best of all.
Voy a empezar mañana mi "sardine fast"...excelente video Anita....saludos desde Panamá
Thank you Anita for another great lesson. I recently finished a sardine "challenge" and had the best results yet (I have done 3 other challenges). I have struggled to get my blood glucose below 100 (always in the low 100s) but this morning it was 89 and ketones 2.1 (normally ketones are around 1). Anyway, it just reminded me that our bodies do what they're going to do when they're ready and not before. It seems like the critics are just trying to find a reason not to do the challenge. OK ... don't do the challenge!😊You are so gracious about the negative comments.❤
Oh I'm so happy for you! 😍💗
Not everyone does it for weight loss, but for health reasons like getting off their meds, no more inflammation or arthritis and then you get a bonus by losing weight and not starving by making a lifestyle change 😊🎉😊🎉!!!!!!!
Agree!
I just did an edge fast and somehow now I think I could do a sardine fast! Or at least integrate some into my meals.
No Sardine police!!!!! Love your videos Anita and thank you ❤️
You are such a special woman. Please ignore the negative people and continue to inspire the huge majority of us who think you are awesome.
You are giving helpful info that I need to start my sardine challenge. Thanks!
Gosh, you are good!
❤I love how you address the NegativeNellies out there.
I can’t wait to meet you in person someday 🎉
Hi Anita! I really like doing the sardine challenge. I eat two cans at the time. I drain out the water and usually don’t add anything. I’ve just completed mine three days sardine in time for the weekend invite to BBQ cook out. I will be bringing my DIY egg white tortillas.
We need more Anita's in the world!❤
Amazing appetite suppressant. I’ve heard people on Ozempic describe this and I feel I got it with these little fishes. Cheaper too! Mine were olive oil and I drained put on butter or bacon lard. Fat= ketones. I stayed the same weight but I am already at my low base weight. Been Carnivore since Sean Baker challenged 60 days had lost on Keto like 50 lbs. Never got off except holidays keto.
oh I like that! They are like a natural appetite suppressant!
😅Thank you Anita for all you do. Keep up the good work! You are so amazing! Praying for you to feel better very soon! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
I want to do the Sardines fast, to get healthy and lose weight I have a long way, 65 pounds to go forever ❤
I am not a fan of sardines. However I am a fan of YOU. I watch all ypur videos whether I like the topic or not.
Wow that is amazing, thank you for being such a great fan! 💗
Thanks for talking honestly about this. Very informative.
Shucks! I did it with eggs! Good 👍 There is a egg fast and butter fast and sardines fast! So what the heck! Do all of them together!I say!lol love all your content!💞
I started the 72 hour Sardine Challenge today. I will be using the recipes you mentioned in your videos. Hope to see better numbers to shout about🎉🎉🎉😊
Hope you are doing well!
Just finished my first challenge, first time eating sardines and it wasn’t to bad. Looking forward to seeing more benefits.
I'm doing one starting on Monday! I love sardines. Excited to get off of a stall. I haven't been in ketosis either. Hoping this helps. Thank you for all your great videos. The nay sayers are bunk. You rock!
You got this!
Love your style Ketogenic Women!!!
I am sorry that some people feel the need to give you a hard time. You are doing a great job. Please keep up your great work!
I used to buy frozen pilchards from my fisho but it is annoying to clean them. I also think smoked herring and smoked barramundi might be nice too. I like the wild barramundi belly offcuts similar to your salmon belly. nice and fatty. Sardines are economical and really nutrient dense. I am getting inspired to do this challenge. Thanks for your video.
I love sardines❤...That bag would make an awesome Apron(with a bit of modification) Love your channel 🇳🇿
Oh boy! Now I'm wanting a sardine apron!
Super video, thank you Anita!
Ok I see about the LMNT..Thank you
Hey Anita, lol I am on those people who do not like sardines. Well, when I was younger once in a while, I could eat sardines and mustard. I tried Dr. Boz sardine fast and it was just too many plane sardines I made it for a day and a half I was choking, but I have since watched your part one and part two videos here of different ways to eat them and I gotta say I love you you have given me hope to try it again, and this time to be able to finish. I am so sorry people give you hateful remarks. Thank you for all the time spent watching other videos and giving us recipes and linking them. That’s a lot of work you’re doing to help us do a sardine fast so again thank you so much. 🥰
You are so welcome! 💗
Thank you so much! I had sardines for the first time at 48 and was so surprised I like them. Great video!
Wonderful!
I wonder if one would have the same glucose and ketone results using only sardines in water. I literally just tried my first sardine ever, preparing them with indigo's protein powder and air frying them. Totally doable this way. Now to venture forward trying some of your recipes. You never disappoint!
I think the only thing I would suggest with that is to add the fat another way. Either add butter or your own oil, it's the fat that helps to get those ketones up there.
Thanks Anita, great 2 part video series. I haven't completed a sardine challenge YET, but I've started implementing them into my carnivore diet. Plus, after watching this series, I'm gearng myself up for the 3 day challenge,
Thanks again, you're such an inspiration.
Angie from Down Under 😊
Wonderful! I wanted to do this so even if people simply added a can here and there to their diet, it would be a good thing!
I also ask myself ‘am I hungry enough to eat a can of sardines’! This is my last day of the 3 day challenge, thank God! I might choke down another can this evening. They are so filling. One benefit is that last night I slept super good with my highest Fitbit score. Also, I am down about 7 pounds but I felt really bloated before I started.
A good night's sleep is always a good thing!
Great video Anita, very well explained. Much appreciated.
Good answers to the questions.
Currently watching Indigo Nili on her first sardine challenge.
She was so excited to get her sardine shopping bad from Trader Joe. I’m so jealous wish we had that shop in the UK.
Keep doing what you are doing. 😍🇬🇧
I saw her with the bag, loved it!
Great talk...thanks Anita ❤
Muchas gracias por tanta buena información.
At the risk of getting busted by the keto police, I will admit to eating a can or 2 of anchovies during my sardine challenge. I love the flavor and saltiness of anchovies and since they’re a little fish, I thought they’d be an ok substitute when the thought of another can of sardines just turns my stomach. Now that I watched the Thomas DeLauer video you posted, I feel so much better about doing this! He rates anchovies as the top type of canned fish. Yes, I’m eating them in olive oil because that’s what I find but I’m still ok with that. Thanks Anita. As always, you totally rock❤
I bought a can to try as well, I have never had them before!
I am so happy to have you on my side! I absolutely love to watch your your videos for your positivity, experience and your kind heart. I am continuing my sardine challenge this month everyday when possible. About 2-3 cans in an morning, afternoon, 6 hour eating window. I do still have to clean up my coffee. Tough one for me! Somedays during the month I eat carnivore because of outings. I am challenging myself to hold on to good ketones and glucose. Today was the lowest glucose ever! Ketones, we will get there I am sure. I am going for a walk and that will help. My weight came down a little. Years of yo-yo diets. And unfortunately years of being sedentary because of a car accident. Thank you. I cant wait until you have a new video. ❤ 😊
This makes me so happy! Don't ever give up!
Thanks, Anita, for your videos. I am looking forward to seeing you in your new kitchen. are you going to use red touches in your kitchen? You don’t have to answer me…just wondering…anyway I enjoy sardines and have always done so, I have a tin of sardines most days as a snack and if it’s in spring water I drink the fishy salty water as well. I am mostly carnivore now for 10 weeks and have lost about 10 kg. I am Getting near my my desired weight so I watch your videos to motivate me …thanks again :)
My new kitchen is going to look fantastic with my red accents, which makes me very happy! Great results you have going on there!
Cute sardine bag! Just found you. I am so impressed with your friendly excitement for the subject. I will try some of these! I love sardines!
Thanks so much! 😊
Very informative! I'm an experienced water faster, but lately I've been stuck at 36 hours, so I decided to do the sardine challenge to strengthen my fasting muscle a bit. Looking forward to starting tomorrow!
Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your videos. They are so helpful and informative and you have a way with words that I think many of us can relate to. I personally have done several sardine challenges at this point (along with my husband), and we have both seen and felt the benefits, so we'll continue to include sardines in our diet. I am apparently in the minority of people who happen to like sardines, so I think I'm lucky in that respect. I can imagine that someone who struggles with the taste of sardines may have a hard time getting through 72 hours, but as you said, even just adding a can to your diet from time to time is beneficial. By the way, I just wanted to comment on how healthy your hair is looking these days. Due in part to Omega 3s, maybe? ;-)
I feel like the more I include sardines the better I feel so I'm sure it's helping my hair and skin !
I used cans marckerel with your recepts. That tasted very good. One can marckerel is also enough for one meal. And it also raised my ketones.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us. I’m just getting ready to do my first sardine challenge. Your videos and links have been very helpful.
Thanks for the info and your obvious preparation as well as excellent presentation.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Anita, great info
Thank You 😊
Great video as always Anita, thanks for what you do ❤
You are so welcome!
Great info and tips Anita! Thank you! Thinking I might give this a shot sometime soon. 😊
haha, you will have to your wife on board first! 😂 But it's a good metabolic hack if you get stuck down the road in your weight loss!
We love you and you make a huge difference and show us all that we can fail or do things our own way and have room for improvements if we do choose, your very much an inspiration keep doing what your doing!❤💗🥰
You're the best! Thank you!
@@KetogenicWoman 🥰💗

haha, they are out there, lol!
I want to say thank you so much for your content. I love your Facebook group and I am so grateful for all the energy and time you put into making these videos. 🧡
Thank you so much!
Hi. I was wondering how often we should be doing the sardine challenge. Thank you for all your wonderful help. ❤️
Whenever you feel the urge to have a reset. I will likely do it a couple times a year.
Hi! I'm in Québec, Canada. I tried a sardine challenge, but it ends with an eggs/sardines one!!. Eating just sardines is hard for me, but i will try a sardines only as soon as I feel like. Out of there, i'm carnivore since 2 or 3 months. Not to lose weight, but feel more energetic. (Hope my english is not too bad...)
Glad you are feeling good and I can understand you just fine!
Ok Anita...I am allllmost convinced. Lol. Watching you and even Gordon Ramsay cooking mackerel and sardines I am thinking about this lol. I am starting with mackerel and will go from there. 😉
Bless you, thank you, going to start today, 💕
You got this!
I love sardines & kippers!
Such an awesome video, Anita.
Thank you! 💗
Thank you so much, Anita! You do such a great job and I love your content.
You are a true diplomat!😁
I have a mild histamine issue , I take quercetine helped so much….but that was me …and I just have mild so I am getting ready to do this fast.
I would love to hear experiences from those jumping right into a sardine fast from a sad diet.
Thank you so much for the Canadian info!
