Neah - Thanks for sharing candid thoughts and feelings. Earlier tonight, My 8YO daughter realized how restrictive my carnivore WOE is and asked why I diet. I said to her that it's because I want to remain healthy and strong for her for when I get older, just like how I carried her into her bed the night before when she was tired. We had this conversation amid the backdrop of her mom visiting her dad in the hospital due to strokes and partial heart failure. I got to tell my Why to my Why. Not sure she completely understood but hopefully she thinks about over time. In college, we had a saying: It won't be easy but it will be worth it.
That's so amazing, thanks for sharing that!! Yup, enough about me, haha, I'm doing it for my little tater tot :)
For many years I was just hoping to live long enough until my sons have grown up. Now they're all adults and have children of their own and In still around, fighting my autoimmune diseases and injuries from assaults I have survived.
Recently I went all carnivore. Today is my day #59. I lost 11 kg and my body feels much better already. But since 2 weeks my weight didn't budge. I was waiting to get my next weight drop. But from yesterday to today I gained more than 2 kg according to my scale. I'm asking myself what is wrong with me. Most people say I shouldn't even do this diet, but I'm still convinced it's the right thing to do. I tried lowering fat as many said, and I tried raising my fat intake as many others said. I tried water fasting for a day or two, etc. The result is more than 2 kg more on the scale, 2.4 kg to be precise.
I'm devastated and also shocked about my self-centeredness, because all I'm thinking about all day is how to get better and get well and lose body fat, etc.
I wonder how others deal with situations like the one I am in. Or is it only me in this situation, because I'm still doing the all carnivore diet wrong or because my body is all messed up. 😢
Ps... I'm 6 wks carnivore, but stopped drinking 11 months ago. I went through the same feelings.... but now have complete peace knowing the alcohol was a lie... it's poison that makes nothing better or funner.... yet, I know the same is true with nicotine, and I'm not there yet and it bums me out every single day.
Thanks again for sharing... the sooner I start the grief with nicotine and walk all the way through it, the sooner I'll be healed from that too.
Your doing a great job and keeping it real. A million thanks and blessings!
Thank you ❤️
I have been on carnivore for 5 weeks. I too gave up alcohol quite a while ago. Still doing the vape thing that I took up after quitting cigarettes 3 years ago. I’m struggling. This is by far the hardest thing to let go of. Just wanted to let you know I’m right there with you.
I get really down about it sometimes too... sometimes I grieve the fact that I'll never experience certain pleasures again, like eating all of the sweet desserts that I used to love. I've cried about it at times.
But I have to refrain. I am NOT A MODERATOR and I recognize that.
I cannot change the fact that I have Lupus, Psoriasis, and a heart condition. I'm not as strong as I used to be... I have had to mourn the loss of who I was... even just 1 year ago I was so strong and active. And most days I can be grateful for my progress on Lion... but...
We all have those days where we get down about it.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience ❤ How many people (like me) will watch this and know that they're not alone.
Thank you 🙏
So glad to know I'm not alone either ❤️
This mental realization is the hardest part of this diet. I remember coming to terms with this last June, after 6 months of Keto. And I'm like I can't eat bread? I can't eat Taco Bell? I can't eat a f'ing pizza! Coming to terms with all that has been the hardest. Today I'm 30 days full carnivore. I still want a pizza. But I look at it like not being able to eat chicken feet, or moose testicles. I never ate those things, so I don't miss it.
Or it's like someone with a peanut allergy not being able to eat peanut butter. Or, now, it's like not being able to drink bleach.
Good way to put it!
Literally reading my mind right now 😮I’ve been experiencing a whole range of emotions of late about this WOE and could not quite understand why. Thank you for sharing.
We have the same story Neah, ibs and 2nd time on the carnivore. It was fantastic for the first 2 months than I started to have issues, fatigue and bloating anyway with just meat and insane craving for vegetables......which now im giving in without remorse 😂......red peppers and mushrooms like no tomorrow, just to find out that selenium and vitamin c was needed. I had my blood test done on carnivore ( something that I highly recommended to do , to understand where you are standing) and my urea levels were skyrocketing and my cholesterol tripled the very high levels.
So yeah not idyllic as they pictured this carnivore cure for all your physical and mental problems. I really want to spend 2 words about those carnivore docs that says just eat more fat and charge 300dollars for a consultation, moaning about toxins in plants and having the entire face injected with filler and botox. Sorry , but honesty is so much needed.....not this fakery market of dieting.
Yes I'm a sick person but not stupid enough to get blinded by the obvious.....this diet doesnt work for everybody
I'm still listening, and know so much what you're saying.
I'm still desperately trying to release my nicotine addiction, and I cry when I give it up for a day... but I know on the other side is release and freedom From the addiction, but dealing with the grief is hard!!!!
Thank you for sharing. Anyone ever addicted to any addiction shares this with you. It's so human... and being human is painful...... but I know joy is on the other side.... and very importantly, peace of mind that's invaluable. ❤
I Too deal with nicotine!
Thank you!
I so want to quit cigs
Total newbie here. I was crying a couple nights ago over the loss of all my favorite sweets and candies and junk foods that were basically in my life for the past 44 of my 54 years on this planet😭. Caramels chocolate licorice Swedish fish, ice cream , fast food, etc….so many things that made my body the body that I have but I haven’t wanted to live anymore and I’ve been sad, tired and depressed so it’s time to try something different, so I’m grieving and mourning the loss of all the things that brought me joy too and just going into this with faith that the sacrifice will be worth it. I felt so silly that I was crying about breaking up with Swedish fish and licorice, but I was. I loved them dearly.
I feel ya!
I just watched Rina’s video (5 Minute Body) with Neisha Berry today and she talked a lot about her Proper Human Diet journey (she started dirty keto, then Keto, then carnivore and now ketovore) and her own food flexibility m/inflexibility challenges.
After watching your video just now and listening to how you’re feeling, I highly recommend your watching this interview with Neisha.
Best of Luck Neah… I’m a BIG FAN of you and your excellent and super interesting channel 😊😊😊
Thanks I'll go watch it!
@@neahswayGreat!! Neisha has incorporated some flexibility into her weekly diet and I really think her ideas will greatly benefit you. I’m gonna do the same!
I would love to watch this video too, how do I find it?

I have a carnivore rash for 3 weeks. I did not know this was a thing. It is miserable. But I know it is a healing crisis. I wonder if I will ever heal all this. I was crying today as well. But I believe in this. Thank you for sharing how you feel
Thank you!
Boy how I can relate to this!!!!! I am super angry about it too!
Neah, once again, you’ve graced us with honesty rarely heard in modern times.
Yes, absolutely I have! I think everybody who is working on bettering themselves has periods of doubt. However, just you just did, I too talk through it with myself.
I’m one of those people who overthinks everything, so my conversations with myself last way too long. 🤣 but they are necessary.
One more thing. Some time ago, my wife bought one of those flip over daily calendars with a motivational message on every page. Well, a a couple weeks ago, the message read “Stay on Track!”, which she really liked. So much she tore the page out and pinned it to the refrigerator. You reminded me of it when you said these exact words in this message.
Don’t let your mind get in the way of what you know, deep inside you, is what you and your body deserve!
Thank you so much! My conversations with myself are so long too 🤣
Thanks for sharing ❤ sometimes I miss being able to drink mixed drinks 🍸 and have chips n salsa but my health is so much better lower a1c less weight n joint pain I don't want to ever feel that sick and tired again but I do miss some of the foods and hate explaining why I do eat diffrent it's a daily struggle. Thanks for your videos they help me alot ❤❤
Thank you! So happy you are better! ❤️
Hello! This sounds like a spiritual matter. The seven principles of Hermes Trismegistus could help put things into perspective. I have gone through this process on the opposite side of the diet spectrum. I learned to give space to the dichotomies and let the correspondence be revealed. Keep up the good work. God bless.
YOU are my spirit animal, just way more eloquent. I was sick and bedridden for 3 years and had to give up alcohol. I was... very addicted. It's been 6 years now and I'm so type A that I've learned that i fall into addiction easily. I still mourn the fun times I had, the carefree feeling despite being so proud of who I am now. Now... I'm just mourning avocados and blueberries but I'm still vaping and still addicted to stevia. It's all a process but it's amazing to see how life unfolds so perfectly. I try to remember that it's all happening in divine order even though I don't always understand it in the moment. ❤ love your videos so much. I've been binge watching like crazy. Thanks for being so raw and resilient.
PS I'd LOVE to hear about the self hypnosis. You are doing so well. To put yourself out there like you do, be a mom, a fiance, a creator, preparing your food and videos, etc. To put so much thought into it all... you're just amazing and such an inspiration.
Thank you so much! I have these slumps from time to time but I end up finding my way back to peace in the divine order, like you say. It's a journey, and I'm in this to win it! Much love :)
Thanks for being vulnerable, your courage and honesty is inspiring. My reality is alot like what your describing.
Being so strict is very good for me, but its boring and sad some days. We aren't Lions, we are Human and have many more desires and social aspects to what makes us happy and fully complete. Thanks for opening the dialogue Neah
Thanks Scott!
Hello, my dear friend. I know we've had many private conversations about this topic, but I am so glad you decided to share your woes. As you know, i too have the same perspective and mourn the idea of my old life. Almost 300 days of eating this way has helped me personally so much, but I do have moments of weakness. I sometimes look at other non-carnivore foods and old habits come knocking at the door. Just open the door and let me consume you... just like before. It's taken me a while to have the strength to ignore the calling beyond the door.
You have so many people who genuinely love you and support you. I hope you read all of these comments and let them lift you up. Remember you are not alone ❤️ ✨️ We are in this together.
Thanks Ellie! I appreciate you so much and your friendship makes all this so much easier!!!
Sorry that you are experiencing this discomfort. I have realized that this will be my life but I also forgive myself for not being perfect when I have my moments of moving off plan. I will have some self inflicted pain/illness due to my imperfections but, this too, I will overcome. These moments are becoming fewer the longer I am on this healing journey.
I have been on keto for 5 years and do OMAD, and yes you still crave certain foods, but thankfully not that often.
At 4 years I was going to give it all up, because I thought I cannot do this for the rest of my life just to keep the 70 pounds I lost off! So, one day I said DONE and made some pasta; it was so delicious. When I was done, I was so happy and did not regret it, but because keto is so forgiving I jumped back into eating keto the following day without any issues or problems.
So, basically I still eat keto, and about once a week I do crave, but if I crave something I have it. I have been doing this for a year now and I have not thought once about quitting keto since then!
That's so awesome! Good for you!
You are not alone with this. I go through the same thing from time to time and I'm going on my 11th month. I just know I don't want to go back to my old habits. We each have to find our way and fight the past. I truly believe it will get better. I wish you the best!
Hello Neah, I've just happened upon your videos and this is the second I'm watching. Although I'm having success, losing weight, feeling better, sleeping better, less gerd issues, I'm still waiting for the gobs of energy I hear everyone else talking about. I've been carnivore for 6 months. I too am grieving food losses. I come from a family of bakers. It's our love language. I have days I'm so frustrated I give in to some food urges. And then deeply regret it because of the joint pain, headaches and other negatives. Today is one of those days. I gave in over the weekend and have spent all day with deep regret. I've accepted that today I am in pain because of bad food. I could say so much more but suffice to say you're not alone.
Thank you ❤️
Hi Neah, interesting thoughts and reflections on what's happening for you right now.
Grieving the loss of not being able to do what others around us are doing is very real. I agree that a lot happens when we have these grieving like thoughts and they begin to grow. It was the norm for me, for years.
I've watched those thought patterns change, for the better. Since I've stayed consistent as a Carnivore. I've come to realise, that what I ate, directly effected what I thought.
I've chose to give myself, one last shot at life and today after nearly 11mths as a Carnivore. I feel I'm on the most positive trajectory ever in my life.
Because you have been brave enough to put yourself out there on YT and make a difference for others. I hope you know how special that is. Keep up the great content, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Keith!
Thanks cause you just said what it is in my mind all the time and I didn’t know why
I am a new subscriber and firstly I gotta say I love you! You are so soothing to listen too and make me feel so much better doing this carnivore thing. I did not have a choice. I am a lot like you and have severe digestive issues and have been pretty much couch ridden for the last couple years. My body does not tolerate anything anymore and I feel my intestines are completely destroyed as I now have bleeding. I have been through many doctors that have just brushed it off as IBS. I finally saw a new gastrologist who is finally giving me an endoscopy in April. But in the meantime I decided to try carnivore… but I am actually lion as I only eat meat and only drink water. I am allergic to dairy and can’t tolerate eggs. I have been doing this since the beginning of December, so 2.5 months, and I have definitely seen improvement. I am not sick on the couch 24/7 anymore and do a lot more things now. But I can also say that while I see improvement, I feel like I have a long ways to go yet before I am completely healed. Def not miraculously healed in 30-60 days. I am thinking this is going to be a year or 2 recovery. But I also know I am probably a pretty severe case. I look forward to your future videos. You bring me so much hope❤️💕😁
And I am thinking in my case that I am probably lion for life. That has been hard to accept but I will do anything to feel myself again. You sure realize that you ain’t got nothing if you don’t have your health.
Also right now I have to eat my meat ground up in a food processor since I can’t digest solid right now, so this makes the lion diet worst yet 🤪🤪 but I am hoping in time I won’t have to do that anymore.
OMGosh....uggh. I feel for you. Sending you love and best wishes :)
Although I think pure carnivore (or even the lion diet) is the best diet for humans, many people won't be able to stick to it in the long term. I'm doing carnivore now (with some added fruit), but I sometimes cheat with alcohol etc. And I'm open to the idea of eventually re-introducing some vegetables and carbs into my diet as long as it doesn't affect my health and mood negatively. That's what so great about at least trying to stick to carnivore for a couple of months, you've eliminated all bad food and know what your healthy baseline is (mentally and physically). After that you can experiment with re-introducing some food you really miss (one by one) and see what the effects are. You have to find your own balance, and life's too short to feel miserable just because you want to follow some religious diet rules.
Agreed! This was more the vibe of the livestream we had on Sunday....and I think that's the best outcome one could hope for IMO!
Today is my day #59 on my all carnivore journey. I feel so much better now. I had lost 11 kg and was waiting for the next weight drop since 2 weeks. But from yesterday to today my scale went up 2.4 kg!!! WTF!?!
This made me get depressed again. I'm eating only beef, mostly bone broth, eggs and butter. What's wrong with me??? 😒😢😭
I am also in your space. I know exactly how you feel. I am in the same funk. 🥺
At least you discovered what to eat that makes you feel better at this time and not suffer for another twenty or thirty years before discovering this way of eating. Many went their whole lives, never knew about diet affecting their conditions and never had any relief. That’s how I think about it. And if I deviate or fall off the wagon I’ll know where to go back to.
Great point!
I keep coming back to this as I have thoughts ruminating about eliminating more and more. I was vegan for 5 years and keto for one. This is month 2 of transitioning into carnivore. I still have homemade coconut yogurt, a ketp banana pudding mix that I mix with boiled eggs and chicory tea (all day as i quit coffee with this). I have such profound reasons for wanting those last few things. I've had thyroid issues and the hot tea warms me and feels good on my throat and thyroid and I feel like I need substitutions until I'm well and I just can't seem to find them. I can't do dairy yet and haven't been able to for years. I feel all that you said here on a deep level. I was an alcoholic for years amd there were so many things I liked about it down to the burn in my throat and the lower inhibitions. I know I can overcome these things but it definitely is an identity shift.
Yes & it's really bad & sad there's many people like Michael J Fox with Parkinsons who are on a flexible plant based diet.
Well wishes ❤
YES! I feel the exact same way as you! I feel like I’m grieving! If I eat keto I feel like binging and listening talk about alcohol reminds me of PAWS from benzos and alcohol… my sister is going through the post withdrawal from alcohol while doing lion diet and we are both so sad! Thank you for being so real and making this video! You’re freaking awesome and I’m praying for you!!!!!
Thank you!!
One way to look at it, is that food that we eat is for nourishing our bodies. The problem with thinking that some people are fine with other foods, is that eventually after some time they find out that they are NOT- remember most people don’t want to believe or even accept the fact that certain foods and lifestyle could possibly be effecting their full health. Take joy in the fact that you can live your best life. And that you are NOW LIVING A PARADIGM OF LIFE AND TRUE
HEALING INSTEAD OF a half ass idea that many think they can get away with… THIS IS A GIFT to KNOW and EXPERIENCE and to understand true health… is to PROGRESSIVELY LIVE IT,
Im with you, i have long covid and all the ensuing symptoms similar to numerous autoimmune disease, andcwhile carnivore has improved things, tremendously, i still struggle everyday and don't have the miraculous experience some people have at 30 or 60 days. Im at 120 days strict carnivore, but before that i was mainly carnivore but some asparagas, mushrooms. Im also sober for over 6 years, and the steps feel very the same when giving everything up. The 12 steps are applicable to the stages of getting through it.
Thanks for this, I have wondered if having C affected my symptoms at all. Hard to know.
You might want to look into German New Medicine to better understand how healing happens.
Long Convid is vaccine poisoning, chemtrails, and years of crappy eating including seed oils
72-96h fasts will help a lot with long c
I've done 72 once or twice a month, plus everyday IF usually 18 to 20..still sick after 4 years. Trying every last thing I've seen help. Love your channel
@@aprilgarnett55Sorry to hear that!
You probably know that people in Alcoholics Anonomous avoid saying or thinking "I am never drinking again as long as I live." They think only about the next 24 hours. They take "one day at a time." They do it because when they are feeling weak or discouraged or stressed, and they are having cravings for a drink, thinking "I am nver drinking again" will feel way to overwhelming and impossible.
You seem overwhelmed with thinking about what you are giving up, and feeling like you can never have certain experiences again. But I think it will be doable if you think about today or even 30 or 90 days rather than thinking about forever.
Plus who knows. You could get to a place where you feel fully healed and are doing well and you may chose to reintroduce some foods. You may find some things in the future that don't cause the issues.
I do think you will find full healing. There is no way of telling how long it will take or if you may need to make some adjustments to get there. But I think you will get there.
Thank you! Yes, that's been my approach with alcohol thus far, I never officially intended to "give it up forever" just go til New Year's, then I extended that to Valentine's Day, and now I'm really ok with not having any for who knows how long. Just the nostalgia sometimes gets me down. But I think, like you're saying here, a healthier way for me to think would be to apply this to food as well. Just keep going and don't think too much about "forever".
This was so good! Thank you so much Neah❤
Thanks for sharing how you are dealing with your rough spots. I'm 89 years old and I've learned how to dampen my expectations. Still I keep going because I know I'd feel worse if I stopped.
Keep going Bart! You are an inspiration to us 60 year olds!!
You told us about a condition that you had in high school. I have exactly what you described. Did the condition get better or go away from the carnivore diet?
FYI - Why keep going?
Because, turns out it's a journey, not a destination. People need to hear about effects, to get their attention. But, I'm 4 years in, and while I did have some awesome unanticipated life-changing effects early on, for me the specific reasons for going on the diet have not resolved. So why continue then? ...Clearly, for me, in the long term it's become more about the trajectory than the hoped-for effects. Although they'll probably come too, more important is that the trajectory of (my) life has fundamentally changed...from a generally downward path into debilitation and death (like everyone) to a renewed upward flight of a return to the magic of Life, IOWs everything, everything from the physical, the mental, the emotional and attitudinal. What can you say about no longer having the low-grade background worry of Diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, alcholism, etc.?
Still, however, even though the large-scale view is generally up, how I feel one day to the next or week to the next is not, necessarily up or better. I'm up and down all the time. 3 steps forward, 2 back.Yet, the overall direction is upward, relentlessly. Four years and I have no idea where it will end.
Point is, you don't need to buy into your feelings or assessments of the moment, you can rest in the greater feeling of getting your mojo back, over time if not immediately.
Two words, thank you!
Hi Neah. I’ve been doing carnivore for eight weeks and have decided to call it a day. It didn’t feel right for me and I didn’t want to be in constant fear of ever eating anything else. I’ve heard so many excellent success stories of people with chronic conditions get well through the mind body route. I think fear of what we eat and fear of our symptoms makes our nervous system more hyper alert and symptoms won’t clear. Many have got well from chronic IBS and other chronic symptoms using this method. I do believe that we can eat a varied diet and still get well and shouldn’t feel
Iike we have to lose anything. Try looking at Nicole Sachs, Dan Buglio, and Karden Rabin from Somia International. This will be my path from now on. If you want a great book to read about alcohol I recommend This Naked Mind. You are a lovely person so please be kind to yourself. ❤
Thanks!
You ARE a beautiful soul.. keep going..
I'm not carnivore myself despite watching all this content, so I can't say I know exactly what you're feeling, but I can hear the frustration in your voice and expression, and at some points even felt like you were trying not to cry maybe. I'm sorry you're going through this.
Thank you so much!
Yes I’ve added things back. I get organic Greek plain yogurt. Plus organic fruits with it. Organic coconut flakes. Perfect desert. I did try white rice but a no go. Created joint pain. It helps a ton. Good luck 👍🏻
I kind of went through what you’re going through- it didn’t last too long and I didn’t really dwell on it too much.. but I do remember being a little down over having to pass on bread and other high carb foods.. I made it through that period at some point.
I’m way past the grieving process now.. so yes, grieve .. it’s normal.
This video just hit home for me. I am 2 days into my carnivore diet and I am having the sadness of possibly never having a cookie, pizza, pasta, etc. ever again! Can I truly do this? I don’t know. Can I have a cheat day to help me feel happy about this? Am I even doing the right thing knowing I had a heart attack at 46 three years ago and I have heart disease, and congestive heart failure now? I am not over weight. I feel like I eat pretty good on a “Normal” diet. I excerise frequently when I can. I don’t have bowel problems. My biggest motivation on this is I feel like with 50 approaching fast I just feel like my body is changing so much lately. From a fatty mid section to an issue at times that I think maybe I have ED. It’s causing stress & anxiety for me, but am I willing to give this a shot and see where it goes? I feel your pain! I really do. All I know is life is just not easy and we have to keep pushing on every day! Good luck with your journey!
Hi Neah, maybe we are not sugar addicts, but desperately looking for more energy to heal and feel good. Maybe check out Jay Feldman and his Energy Balance Podcast. It makes no sense that we love sweet tasting food when it would be harmful. Jay claims hé has helped a lot of carnivores who got stuck in their progress.
It is grief... and like any grief it comes in waves that reduce in frequency & intensity & duration...
I have passing thoughts wishing intensely that it was possible to drink wine and eat junk food and also stay healthy... but it passes because all that food stuff is culturally induced habits...
Carbs have been wrong for our bodies for ten thousand years...
We need to build new social habits & rituals and structures to go back to the camp-fire and share real food.
Society sucks. Not the carnivore diet.
It is not restrictive - we are highly selective!
It is intelligent behaviour to prioritise physical health over socialibility...
We were seduced as babies into carb based social structures.
You are a positive deviant - as Kerry would say...
That takes great courage to walk alone....
"Poor me" does eventually wither away...
Grieve, grow & move on lovely girl...
Thankyou for your unique voice...
Thank you!
I have tried to reintroduce foods, but it didn't work. Im a sugar addict. I had last week half a cup of blueberries (i read that they are really good for the gut) Less than three hours later i was in the supermarket buying donuts and peanut butter cups. After one year clean, imagine how i felt. I was dying from a sugar overdose in the coach...like drugged. I wish it would work for me.... thank you for your videos 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for sharing this!

I am struggling with alcohol. I don't label myself an alcoholic though. I love red Pinot noir. I won't drink anything else. Liquor is in my cabinet growing cobwebs. I know a lot of it is habit and romantics and of course these last 10 years it was my stress reliever. I think its really different for everyone. In the past I would keep the wine in any diet I was eating. But it just doesn't work. Stress overcomes me. So while I am only a month in carnivore. I'm trying to not have the black grape. Enjoying your life is a big part of your life. But if you think its going to spiral you out of control on your next meal. Don't do it. But if you can handle it and get back on to your plan the next meal. Enjoy. My opinion. Over time things change. I will never say I won't enjoy any named food or beverage in the future. Life doesn't work that way. Especially when it comes to food and drink. I think some of us can get the addiction we had to the bad foods we eat and drink to have an addiction to dieting or the way of dieting. If it's in every thought and disrupting a happy life. What is the point? I do get into hypnosis and meditation. You may want to look into Dr. Dispensa. Watch the series called Rewired. It helped a lot and took me down a wonderful journey. ❤ Got me walking again. Without surgery.
Hang in there girl.
Hello from East Tx ++++++++Go Carnivore for life!!!!!!!
It is hard to change ones relationship with food. I focus on eating foods that like me, instead of food that I like....that DONT like me. It helps.
Ashwaganda helps with anxiety and using my hands to create things sets my imagination free...in a good way. Follow your passions and immerse yourself in them. Life is all about creating mental armor. Meditation builds armor one piece at a time for me. Good luck, stay focused.
Society is a farce.
Forge On!!!
Thank you!
I really don't have much of a problem with the diet because I never cared for vegetables or fruit. Bread and pizza were my go to but now after a year of being carnivor I cant say I miss anything. As far as social life I no longer drink but I do enjoy some edibles ( butter made in a Levo) and I enjoy mushrooms when I go bowling or riding my bicycle down the boardwalk. We are both 62 and we enjoy bicycles and kayaks , we take no scripts and we both realize the reason we can do these things is because of what we eat..meat. when you get to our age and every month you see people die that you went to school with. You are young enough that you still believe these people who eat all that junk are not being affected. They are. We still go to the local social club with friends who drink or to some of the cabana bars by the bay and still take the Vrod to bike week but we just vape and watch the idiots get drunk.lol then get a nice prime rib or a plate of crab legs. Of course we have to drink bottle water so we are paying customers 😂
I really hope you see this comment. I think acknowledging how you feel and staying with those feelings until they pass through you is essential for transmuting them. All of that said, how you speak to yourself, you cells, yoir body, your brain etc matters more than you know.
People heal from terminal conditions without changing their diet. So it can be done. I think labelling yourself as a sick person is not good for you.
If you aren’t familiar with Joe dispenza then check out his work. Also Louise hay. With you listening to self hypnosis I think you would love her audios. She healed herself from cancer. Funnily enough with a plant based diet.
The point I’m making is fundamentally I think our self talk and self labels affect us greatly.
My mum healed from a severe life threatening thyroid condition and she did so by changing the way she spoke to and about herself.
I am about to do carnivore after a year of keto, so I’m not discrediting the diet at all , I just think if you resign yourself to the label of sick person you will never be anything but. If you start to adopt the label of being radiantly healthy, a super well person then maybe just maybe as a well person you can enjoy the occasional thing you desire.
I hope that makes sense. Things change, we change and with those changes the external changes and our choices can change too.
Much love ❤
I've read a lot of Joe Dispenza and followed his work. I'm glad you brough this up, because that's really the dilemma here (I've mentioned in previous videos how I do not like to think of myself with these terms for those very reasons.) But there comes a point where not thinking of myself as someone who is "sick" right now does hinder me, because it continues to tempt me to indulge in things that I know are not good for me, at least right now. So there's a level of acceptance that I'm coming to that is helpful for me in the moment, while still holding the image of my healed self in my mind and meditations. It's the challenge of being able to have two opposing thoughts be true at the same time. Thank you :)
Are there other parts of your life that you can express your sponaneous nature? Hair, clothing, artistic expression etc?
I colored my hair in January and I'm getting back into aerial arts - lyra specifically - which is something I love and can "play" with artistically with no real attachment to the outcome. Definitely things I've been lacking in my life over the last few years. This is a great point, thank you :)

My friend invited me out to a beer float night at a brewery the other day, and I just thought, “that’s not gonna get me anywhere towards my goals” so I didn’t go. But it felt pretty lame.😊
Hey Neah, are you vaccinated? I was asking myself, because you said you still have flare ups…?
If you're referring to the recent one, then no
Why don't you just do some long water fasting and TRULY CURE whatever is wrong with you....then eat like a normal human being? God gave us this GIFT of fasting. Dry fasting, water fasting. Trust Jesus.
I started this week. Going to build back up to longer ones. But I did a 48 and it helped a lot. Thank you :)
You may be becoming much more aware of the cultural and ideological 'norms' that have been driving your life choices and experience. What is going out for a nice dinner with friends or a partner really all about? It's not about the specific food or wine - but the shared experience and companionship. How is that changed on carnivore? I even drink a glass or 2 of dry red wine on special occasions. Doesn't effect my blood glucose at all - in fact it even seems to lower it. So perhaps you are grieving specific features of an ideological perspective that you are leaving behind. And of course grief is about feelings, associated with loss; and is not about any logical or intellectual process of understanding. Self anger and the lack of self respect and self love seem to play a role. If we're able to experience ourselves in a state of self love, self respect, and self appreciation, then how others see and experience us becomes a reflection of that self love rather than an expectation. It no longer matters if what we chose for ourselves is shared by those around and intimate with us.
Well, it really changed when I became a mom more than anything. No social life at all, haha -- other than when we go out as a family. Just having a few down days, but I'm feeling a lot better now. Sometimes it's just helpful to acknowledge what I'm feeling, as that's much more difficult for me to do vs. processing my thoughts. Thank you :)
🙏 What I've learned via my aging process is that nearly all of what I made important in my youth is completely unimportant now. I'm much more aware of what is truly important, and what is not.@@neahsway
What I've learned during my aging process is what is actually important in life and what is not. Most of what I made important in my youth is NOT. It is essential to acknowledge and FEEL what we're feeling - letting it flow through us and not become stuck within to fester. 🙏@@neahsway
Are you spontaneous or are you impulsive? ADHD or ADD is a label, I know but the atypical behavior and thinking is real. Are you a bit ADHD? Why would anyone stray away from a Carnivore diet unless they are not able to defeat their addictive personality. I am 3 year strict Carnivore and there is zero desire for eating plants nor anything made from processed plants. The Bible refers to 'a dog returning to his vomit' as a undesirable thought process. You must learn how to deal with any remaining inner Demons so that you can live in inner peace. My inner peace journey started after i became a Christian decades ago and my physical journey took off when I began strict Carnivore. Carnivore diet heals the mind. Why would you desire to eat something that you know is harmful to your health? I mean no ill will toward you. Please take this as an act of kindness hoping for your inner healing.
Those are all the things I'm trying to explain in the video. Maybe when I actually feel good every day, it will be easier. I don't have physical cravings for food. I have the desire to get an ice cream with my 3 year old on a sunny day at the park with the other families that are there, and enjoy that as a bonding experience. I have a desire to travel to other places and try a cool traditional dish that someone made from scratch, have a glass of wine in Italy -- to experience culture and connect with people who are different from me. Food and drink is not the only way to do that, but it's one of the easiest and the way that many people use to show their hospitality and love. So the idea of missing out on those experiences long-term makes me feel sad. But I'll get over it. Just wanted to let other people who might feel this way know they're not alone.
Obviously i don’t know what the actual answer is to your problems. And anyone who claims here as such in the comments doesn't really know for sure the reasons either.
It’s just speculation based on what we know and what we've found worked for us and others.
But even if you do currently feel 50 or even 99 percent better than where you were, it does seem like going with carnivore
or lion diet alone is something you might need to move on from and try other things.
Something that’s perhaps more precise to you. Like anything i’ve mentioned in previous videos, or speaking to a naturopathic doctor like the guys at genmedcenter for more of a custom personalised protocol for you.
Being on their GenoType Diet myself, i have noticed a reduction in skin rashes 👍
There’s a chance it could’ve just been certain plants that were affecting you. And some but maybe not all meats might still be too.
You may not have to live so restrictively forever.
I feel like I've tried all the other diets. I had a slow process of elimination of different foods over a 5-7 year period. First cut grains, then starches, then cruciferous, all that was left was greens, olives, olive oil, cucumbers, meat. I was still having gut problems then. I suspect there are certain meats that aren't suitable, so that's what I'm experimenting with now. Seeing if I do better with red meat and seafood. We'll see! Thanks
@@neahswayyeah it's so hard fighting through these different diets when there so many. And you see so many getting completely better but not you.
It took a bit of trial and error experimenting from month after month figuring out which one was right for me.
Currently i'm eatng to the Hunter GenoType recommendations and also experimenting eating mostly raw to lower the toxin load. I do seem to feel better when i eat that way. Currently both plants and fish included but none of the foods listed as Hunter toxins.
My skin is now 99% clear of the itchy redness except a tiny mosquito bit size red mark on my right side that comes and goes at the minute.
It actually could be a bite though as i do get bitten often, but rarely do they stay there.
I did try going back a few times to eating a listed avoid but got bad again each time. So that was how i became confident this diet seems to be working for me and appears to be mostly accurate for this type.
One day at a time!!! Stop making it complicated! Omg
Omg, I'm not sure that your have any empathy... Can you not imagine that other people AREN'T like you?
Emotionally immature? Look it up...
for me you are proof carnivore and mental work is debunked. You posted video before 7 months how carnivore changed your life. So i skipped to newest videos and obviously i didnt help.
Please don't change the entire world to go carnivore because it can cause real-food shortages again. Most need to go back to eating some healthy plants.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I agree, it's scary to think this is forever😭
Neah, love the shades of color, I wonder if you might be having a reaction to the ink? When was the last time you had a full panel of blood work done?
Recovering Cokeaholic. 2005 I was super depressed and drinking 6-7 20 oz bottles of the stuff. It took years to get down to one bottle a day and later none at all. I'm a carnivore 98% of the time, with a Taco Johns a stone's toss from my apartment a few times a year I stop in and get a high-carb quick meal. My health care team told me back in 2019 to lose weight by following 'diet xyz'', never worked. I can't 'diet', I have to have a plan, and for me, that means a lifestyle. Something as a non-cooking guy, I can make and is easy to follow. The air fryer and slow cooker have become my best friends. I've not only lost the unwanted weight but, also kept it off. As a lifelong railfan/railroad modeler weekends in good weather means I'm out and about chasing trains. during my trips, I have no problems stopping at some out-of-the-way place for a drink or food. Which means I do not have control of how 'dirty' it might be. I talk about my wants/needs in food when eating out and I've lucked out and made a few new friends.
