After watching you for a few years I’ve learned your face. I can honestly say, I see the difference after you did the lion diet. Wow. You look younger, fresher, so revitalized! It’s amazing!!! Anyone seeing the difference as I do- WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? Anita is a perfect example of the LION DIET BENEFITS!!!
Hi Anita, I'm also an Anita age 66 soon to be 67 next month. I enjoy your videos and have for a long while. Now just listening to your why matching my why when I resolved to get healthier after I lost my mama from dementia in June 2021. 😢. So far I'm down 120 lbs with quite a few more lbs to go and I'm steadily succeeding with good video support from you and others in the proper human diet community on you tube. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
Wow congratulations, that is amazing! It's a powerful why we share isn't it? My mom had vascular dementia, completely preventable which is the sad part.
@@KetogenicWoman I started my 90 Carnivore challenge on September 26th. My mom died of Alzheimers less than a month on my challenge, on October 23rd, but it didn't derail me, thanks be to God. Frustrating that my mom was diagnosed with dementia just after going on statins. My Dr. wanted me to go on statins but I did my due diligence, researched it and declined. Feel like I dodged a bullet. I finish my challenge on Christmas eve. Don't think my diet will change much though. Always love your positive videos. Always learn something. Very informative.
It’s truly amazing how The Lion Diet gives the body a reset and a recharge. My body loves the lion diet for when I’m in a fat lose stall. Especially when my anxiety is high or if my depression is charging up again. I have done it several times and each time I’m BLOWN away at how it puts inflammation out. It’s a healer to the body.
Thank you for not using the filter settings to make yourself APPEAR younger and prettier; the real you is beautiful. I'm sad so many carnivore vloggers think they need it; they don't. The 'uncanny valley' effect makes them look less real, and less trustworthy! I appreciate your lovely honesty, and being able to see your changes for myself. God bless you!
For 99 days I have been eating animal based & use Redmonds real salt to taste (I occasionally have avocado mayo- Chosen brand, hot sauce (with sardines) and organic herbal tea) and am in love with this way of eating. I realized what caused cravings (peanuts, nuts, and anything sweet tasting- including stevia, flavored LMNT, and diet soda). It's amazing to experience freedom. I'm 64, no disease, no medication, and about 20 pounds to shed. I swim 3 times a week. I was on keto since 3/2015. I'm spending this year (8/2024 ~ 8/2025) focused on healing. Blessings to you all.
Anita!! Can we talk about how much healthier and vibrant you look today compared to even those pretty recent clips from just a couple of years ago?? That's amazing!!! Also, I just made a career change and started working as a CNA with dementia patients and I absolutely agree with you, nothing is more important than taking care of our brains and staying active as we age. Wow. It really puts things into perspective. I'm coming up on nearly 12 months carnivore and there is no way I'm ever going back
Oh bless you for working with dementia patients! I am totally committed to protecting my brain, it's my most important asset! I never appreciated that until caring for my Mom for 5 years.
Beautiful Anita, you are aging BACKWARDS! You are not only an inspriation, but you are a teacher...teaching us a very simple path to health and wellness. I am not saying that sacrifices are "easy" and that beneifts will be the exact same for everyone...but yours is a pretty compelling example of success and a reason for us to at least consider it when weighing the benefits over the sacrifices. -I do see just from your example, that the sacrifices become less and less apparent and the health benefits become more and more obvious! You are radiant, smaller, stronger looking and the benefits you have had in your health are obvious. Hugs from Mary here in Alberta and thank you for being such an incredible teacher with all of your videos! ❤
Any decaf that’s not water washed is decaffeinated using chemicals to render the caffeine non active. However, the chemicals used can be just as reactive as the caffeine.
You are so inspirational! As a woman your age, I follow your channel wholeheartedly and look forward to each video you put out! Please keep them coming!
“Have to fight for every pound” such truth as we try to zero in on those last pounds to lose!! I’m in the same place. You’ve been an inspiration and made me a believer for lion diet! Thank you sooo much for the lion playlist Anita! I expect giving up dairy and butter will be difficult but I really am eager to try full on lion for my stall/hrt weight gain.
A great video and very interesting. You continue to inspire me. I like your sensible approach. This has taken you several years and isn’t a quick fix but it is a great fix. I’m further behind you but I am following! Just started full carnivore having been ketovore.
Hi Anita, thank you for this video. It encourages me in my journey. The videos on what you eat and how to make each dish is super helpful. It makes this seem so doable. My father passed away from dementia, and I was his caretaker the last three years, so your “why” rings true for me as well. God bless you.
Excellent! Great explanations, Anita. I too am doing Lion Diet as a protocol to decrease inflammation so my worn out adrenals and low thyroid can heal. In the mornings I have a mug of hot water with 2 Tablespoons of beef tallow whisked in. This helps me with the goal of maintaining my calories 80% from fat and 20% from ruminant protein. I love your channel, Anita! ❤
@@christinelamb1167 I get beef fat trimmings from the meat market or local butcher. Location depends on where we are for we travel fulltime in our travel trailer. I cut the fat in 1 inch pieces and air fry at 400° F for 14 minutes stirring half way through. On the bottom of my Cosori air fryer will be the hot liquid tallow. I first take out the fried fat pieces to snack on or add to my meals and strain the hot liquid fat into a widemouth pint jar. It solidifies at room temp. This is what I use in my morning cuppa hot water .

You are inspiring!!! You also look amazing, been following you for a while and can see a difference in your skin! I am seriously considering trying the lion diet now. Keep it up!!!
Great post. Happy it's going well. I've been a yo-yo person with my food. Sad, Keto, Carnivore. No consistency over the years. The sad part being the least way of eating. Trying hard to stick with keto vore atm. Mostly meat and eggs, and some days some tomatoes or a salad as a side. This last week has gone well. And my energy's up, feeling better and more active. I gave up alcohol 76 days ago and proud about that. Wish me luck getting through the holidays as they typically include friends and family and cocktails. The lion diet has been on my radar but the cost is my issue. And my budget honestly is usually what throws me back on the sad diet from time to time. Not good for me, but sometimes expenses get in the way. But I'm hopeful I will find a way for a better source for meat that I can afford. Will be checking back with you and see how your liking it. Best wishes for continued good health.
@antimamster1895 I rely on ground beef a lot. And chicken. But there are times when I must dip into my emergency beans and rice for a time. Or add rice to meals to stretch that chicken. Then a period of weakness follows on sticking to what's best for me. Old cravings rear their head once those carbs have been allowed. I'm confident I will work through these things. And I sure would welcome prices going down. I am blessed though beyond measure, and grateful for so much.
With this new administration coming in January I'm sure we both will see prices going down. I'm in same situation as you trying to stretch out the food and pay bills. Good luck to you.🙏
Oh, I am so inspired now, by your example, and your positive success. I am following you in this all the way, as I have been through keto and carnivore. Thank you, Darling Anita!
Hi Anita! I’m excited you’re doing a recap on your lion diet challenge. We’ve decided to do BBBE for at least 30 days but may stay on it through the new year. Love your channel. Congratulations on breaking that weight loss stall!
You look amazing! I'm going to try Lion Diet in December. And I just started drinking bone broth in the morning because even decaf coffee, I had headaches. THANK YOU for sharing ❤
Hi Anita, thank you for your content. S😢o clear, calm, gentle. I feel encouraged by your "testimony" to try "lion diet", after 4+ wks of carnivore to see if some lingering exema, (tho improved), will clear up even more. ❤
ive been learning since keto/ketovore/carnivore that maybe when you get close to your ideal weight, you realize that you’ve got the body that you want at a higher weight on the scale. And that when you were lower weight on the scale before you did not necessarily look as good as you do the other way. And that’s what I’ve seen and heard a lot in the keto/keto war/carnival world, at least on TH-cam. lol. SO WOW ANITA FOR YES LOSING SOMW WT. BUT THE INCHES ARE I THINK FANTASTIC!! i have several influencers that I like to watch. But you and Paula from low-carb revelation, are the ones that really inspire me a lot. Thank you for putting all that hard work in and then sharing it to anyone who is interested. Thank you.
Coffee can be easy to give up. First drop the number of cups per day. Do that for one month. Then mix your coffee half normal and half water washed decaf. Cut down again the number of cups. Do that for another month. The third month do decaf only and just one cup. After a month, quit. No problems with caffeine deprivation. Absolutely use a water washed decaf. Anything that’s not water washed is chemically added to render the caffeine inactive but can cause reactions to the chemicals. I tried cold turkey, just doing decaf, you name it I tried it. Nothing worked until I slowly weaned. It’s so much fun regaining the real estate on my kitchen counter getting rid of the coffee pot. It’s a lot of fun going by the coffee aisle knowing I got rid of an expensive addiction and I get to use my morning time for something besides nurturing coffee and all the drama that surrounds it. 🧚
Anita, I love your candor with all you’ve gone through. Your style and the little silly outtakes are great. You’re making me want to do the lion diet. Thank you also for sharing how you transitioned off coffee. Been a lifelong crutch for me and I’ve tried cold Turkey cutting it out, which gave me a terrible migraine. But I think the switch to decaf for a week might help. You’re definitely a role idle for me. Thank you for sharing all that you do!!
Exactly what I’ve been looking for! TY for your generosity in sharing so much details and how/what to make on carnivore lifestyle & with what equipment. TY ❤ You look fabulous 🥰
Great video! You've given me some wonderful tips on how I can make a smooth transition into the Lion diet. I need to increase my ketones for health reasons. Thank you.❤
Carnivore is so healing and it reduces inflammation. The lion diet helped myself and my child the most. I'm glad you won't go back to the standard American diet.
P.S. A suggestion: you mentioned the knee pain, plantar fasciitis; collagen broth is definitely something to use both in acute situations and preventively; but if you have other tips, tricks and recipes that you have found to be anti-inflammatory in that particular context, it would really, really help many of us? Just a summary video with links to previously recorded content?
The biggest factor has so far been sardines and seafood! I have an entire playlist devoted to this! th-cam.com/play/PLcnK_MiscYLJsAR_i86wo6HY3NwmRn8GP.html
I'm a 62 year old female, had alot of foot problems and alot of inflammation in my back, i started hrt at 60 and that took away all foot pain and about 90 percent of the inflammation away, I'm about 80 percent carnivore.
Im admiring your beautiful kitchen too. Also i noticed in your bone broth video how young you are looking...not only your beautiful face but also the way you hold your body...you are built and hold yourself more like a 20 yr old would. You are amazing and motivate me so much. I too drink coffee daily. Not a lot, just 1 cup of the morning but have to have my splash of heavy cream and having rheumatoid arthritis i think maybe it is contributing to my pain & inflammation 😢 I need to work on giving it up to at least SEE if it improves things more. Thank you so much for another great helpful video ❤
*Loved that outro~ reminded me of the old Faberge shampoo commercials..." and they told two friends, who then told two friends...and so on...and so one"~ the people squares & voices kept multiplying on the screen like that~ awesome. Also feels like exactly what's happening with this proper eating for our species. The knowledge & benefits are growing rapidly at this point, which is quite thrilling. When you feel this good, it's natural to want others to as well.
Hi Anita... great video today... My grandma always used white pepper as it is not irritating the same as black pepper and tastes the same. I am sensitive to Black pepper myself and my body seems to tolerate the white pepper. I was unable to keep to Carnivore more than 95% and never lost any weight in six years eating that way. So, today I am on day 8 of a water only fast, with Electrolytes and Redman's real salt. I have now lost 11 pounds so far. I am not sure how long I can keep to this water fast, but I am going to go as long as I feel good. I am doing this to finally eliminate my pre-diabetes and high blood pressure conditions. I feel after this fast I will be able to do Carnivore 100% as hopefully my carb-cravings will be gone. On my water fast, I am having what my Grandma called "Silver Tea", it is simply hot water, and it is surprising how good it is. Bone broth is a great start to any day and that is how I will break my fast. Also I think it was Dante who mentioned he sometimes has hot water with butter in it.
Please watch a long fast refeeding video, if you have not already done so - how you end your fast is the most important part, and can also be the most dangerous!
@@annmariering6606 I did my first 30 day fast in 1974. I have nearly every book written on fasting and watched all the Experts such as Don and Tyler Tolman, Dr. Alan Goldhammer, and Tanglewood wellness fasting Center. Thank you for your concern.
Gosh I haven’t see n you for years being on weight watchers now I’m still struggling so going back to keto oh can I say I love seeing and hear you such a great journey you have shared
Hugs to you on the loss of your uncle. It's exciting to hear about a puppy going on the journey with you. I wouldn't claim the fattest man on the carnivore diet for very long. We can already see a change in you as well as you can see that change. You'll start seeing muscle that you didn't know you had. Keep up the good work. We're watching for you.
Gd job Anita. Caffeinated coffee puts my blood sugar up and both caffeinated and decaf give me muscle cramps, probably because it dehydrates me. So i drink decaf no more than 2 cups. I haven't tried the lion diet yet. I eat sardines several times a week and it lowers my blood pressure from 120/80 to about 110/70! Yay!
Thank you very much for sharing your journey. I allways enjoy listening to you. I can relate to all your issues with things like pepper etc. I have just decided to do something after mostly carnivore and a stint of of ketogenic diet. I have been stuck on 84 kilos for a while after loosing 20kilos over the last 18 months. I feel good and most of the inflammation has gone but still have some digestion problems. Sending love and best wishes.
I love your videos, stories, and recipes. I had horrible cramps for years. I would wake up in the middle of the night, and my whole body would stiffen into a tight cramp. I learned that the combo of daily lymphatic drainage and muscle training completely stopped my cramps. My physical therapist explained that weak muscles can cause cramps. She put me on chair swats and various other basic exercises to strengthen my muscles. I only do the exercises occasionally now as maintainence, but I still never have cramps. Also, I monitor my hydration levels through a body bio impedance scale with hand grips. I've been able to watch my hydration levels increase and body fat decrease. It is very motivational, especially when my weight loss tapers, but I see my muscle and bone mass increase while my body fat decreases. I weigh first thing every morning. I put ice water in a wide mouth mason jar with lid and straw and slip the jar into an insulating sleeve. I add a full baby spoon of Redmond salt to my water and sometimes 1 drop of Lugal's iodine. I drink 2 to 4 quarts a day.
Hi when we do the first of the year corporate fast I will cut the coffee and use green tea for a few days, then I put a green tea in a bottle of water and a day or two later I'm off caffeine. Awesome 👌. GOD BLESS
So lovely that your experience on lion is positive. You look wonderful and sound wonderful too. I do not want to ever go off ketovore (except to go closer to carnivore). Trading life for less than living is just not worth it.
If you do not have a reason to do it then there is no point, just keep doing doing what is working best for you! But I assure you that for me it is not 'less than living' when you feel your best ever and finally start to resolve long standing issues. Very much worth it!
@@KetogenicWomanYou misunderstood, Anita! They said the only way they'll leave ketovore is to go Carnivore - going back to SAD would be trading life for a less healthy life, and would not be worth it! As for you, kudos on your success with the lion diet - you can totally see how successful it's been for you! I added decaf coffee, cream, and cheese back into my diet about 8 weeks ago and it finally caught up with me... I'm back to pain in all of my joints, heartburn, bad sleep, less mental clarity, and a 10 lb weight gain!! Looks like I need the Lion diet in my life!!
Just listened to your part regarding muscle cramps. That’s a magnesium deficiency and feeling any shocks/neuropathy is calcium. Drink milk for calcium, supplements for magnesium.
I just come across your video. Very interesting and would love to try this lion diet never heard of it before. However I’m allergic to beef so I guess it is out for me lol. You look amazing!
This is so intriguing. I am on the fence. First time I did carnivore wasn't too good. Also gave up coffee for 9 months and was miserable the whole time. Tried super gut and it helped my issues but too many carbs. If I try carnivore again it would be lion. But I'm worried the progress I made with the super yogurts would be undone...currently doing a low carb with l. reuteri yogurt. Doing pretty well but still struggling with some things.
I totally understand your concern with the yogurt as I had exactly the same concern about the progress with my knee using sardines. I am going to address this in detail in tonight's livestream.
Thank you so much for a very interesting video. I am sorry LMNT don't sell to Europe. I hope they will change that, since I liked it so much when I was able buy it.
Thank you so, so very much, Anita, for this video. Your lion diet experience and resultant success and health improvements are definitely motivating. I’ve been struggling with the carnivore diet and all its variations. I really like the K.I.S.S. of the lion diet but was afraid I’d be bored and left wanting/ craving. After watching this video, I am determined to move forward and embrace the lion diet, seeking to feel my absolute best at age 67. I haven’t watched all your videos and apologize if you’ve covered this in another video but have you had a DEXA scan? I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and am hoping I can manage, if not improve my bone health with the carnivore diet. Again, thanks so much for all your hard work and your caring, sharing heart.
Thank you for this episode!! I have been considering giving up coffee for a long time (for my knees). Some days they’re great (way better than pre carnivore 3 years ago). I’m not too worried about headaches but it’s a huge social thing with my husband and I. We’re retired and meet friends for coffee frequently. I guess by now I should be used to everyone thinking I’m the weirdest person ever with my eating habits. I’m thinking maybe taking bone broth (or hot water) in a travel mug? I realllly want to do this!!!
Me too. I had thought I wasn’t having enough salt so I upped it then it occurred to me that the salt might be the problem as I was always feeling and looking dehydrated and thirsty. Hardly any muscle cramps since giving up salt. Only very mild ones every few weeks which is so much better
You mentioned "Plantar Fasciitis" - I had no idea what that was. Then you said morning foot pain - I've had that pain for many months now. So, I immediately paused your video to go research that topic. Dr Berg has great videos about it!
My chiropractor stretched the tendons on both feet and I have had no problems for the last few years. It was a painful few minutes but I had been hurting for months and hated getting out of bed and putting my feet on the floor each morning.
Ive been keto/carnivore since February. I'm trying to work up the courage to go lions diet now. This video was so helpful! I didnt know to put the unflavored lmnt in bone broth. thats brilliant. I just cant get it down plain and the flavored stalls my weightloss.
@@DaughterofKings22 I like to add a drop of lemon essential oil (food grade ) and have the raw unflavored one in carbonated water, maybe that would be another option for you.
After watching you for a few years I’ve learned your face. I can honestly say, I see the difference after you did the lion diet. Wow. You look younger, fresher, so revitalized! It’s amazing!!! Anyone seeing the difference as I do- WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? Anita is a perfect example of the LION DIET BENEFITS!!!
I think you are right!
She does look younger and even healthier!
I still like eggs lol
And chicken wings
But I get just doing ruminants; I would add cheese/homemade kefir as that ruminant also
Did you do any sort of measuement of food like 80/20 fat to protein or so many grams of protein or fat.
@@HHHHappYYYY I agree I think she should do a before and after photo
I tried it for 30-days starting August 1 and love it and I'm still on LION.

@antimamster1895 I rely on ground beef a lot. And chicken. But there are times when I must dip into my emergency beans and rice for a time. Or add rice to meals to stretch that chicken. Then a period of weakness follows on sticking to what's best for me. Old cravings rear their head once those carbs have been allowed. I'm confident I will work through these things. And I sure would welcome prices going down. I am blessed though beyond measure, and grateful for so much.
With this new administration coming in January I'm sure we both will see prices going down. I'm in same situation as you trying to stretch out the food and pay bills. Good luck to you.🙏
Best of luck to you. Hope you find some budget friendly way to keep going.
Oh, I am so inspired now, by your example, and your positive success. I am following you in this all the way, as I have been through keto and carnivore. Thank you, Darling Anita!
Hi Anita! I’m excited you’re doing a recap on your lion diet challenge. We’ve decided to do BBBE for at least 30 days but may stay on it through the new year. Love your channel. Congratulations on breaking that weight loss stall!
Wonderful!
Very good post Anita! Thank you! This is my second day of lion diet. Thanks for the inspiration Anita! Happy New Year!🎆🎈🎊 ❤
Your story is encouraging 💯
I would love you to write a book on your experiences!!
You are an inspiration to me!!
Thanks for sharing this, Anita. Your journey is such an inspiration!
You look amazing! I'm going to try Lion Diet in December. And I just started drinking bone broth in the morning because even decaf coffee, I had headaches. THANK YOU for sharing ❤
Oh it’s wonderful to see you I watched you for many months you have done so well loved your cooking shows good luck
A big congrats! And thank you so much for sharing on your channel!
Hi Anita, thank you for your content. S😢o clear, calm, gentle. I feel encouraged by your "testimony" to try "lion diet", after 4+ wks of carnivore to see if some lingering exema, (tho improved), will clear up even more. ❤
Wow, Anita!! I haven't seen you in a few months and you look even more amazing than you did before. You look so much younger in your face. Congrats!!
Wow thank you!
Am I first comment? Wow! Hi from 5pm in New Zealand, Friday.
Yes!
It’s always nice to listen to you 😊
You have always been an inspiration to me and I’m going to give the Lion a shot!
Thank you! Great video!
Inspirational!
Beautiful 🥰 Thank you Anita💜 Such an inspiration! You glow🤩 Lion eating lit you up🌟 I will definitely try Lion soon. Carnivore for now.
You look great! 👍 there Is a healthy glow on your face.
ive been learning since keto/ketovore/carnivore that maybe when you get close to your ideal weight, you realize that you’ve got the body that you want at a higher weight on the scale. And that when you were lower weight on the scale before you did not necessarily look as good as you do the other way. And that’s what I’ve seen and heard a lot in the keto/keto war/carnival world, at least on TH-cam. lol. SO WOW ANITA FOR YES LOSING SOMW WT. BUT THE INCHES ARE I THINK FANTASTIC!! i have several influencers that I like to watch. But you and Paula from low-carb revelation, are the ones that really inspire me a lot. Thank you for putting all that hard work in and then sharing it to anyone who is interested. Thank you.
Thank you Patty!
Coffee can be easy to give up. First drop the number of cups per day. Do that for one month. Then mix your coffee half normal and half water washed decaf. Cut down again the number of cups. Do that for another month. The third month do decaf only and just one cup. After a month, quit. No problems with caffeine deprivation.
Absolutely use a water washed decaf. Anything that’s not water washed is chemically added to render the caffeine inactive but can cause reactions to the chemicals.
I tried cold turkey, just doing decaf, you name it I tried it. Nothing worked until I slowly weaned. It’s so much fun regaining the real estate on my kitchen counter getting rid of the coffee pot. It’s a lot of fun going by the coffee aisle knowing I got rid of an expensive addiction and I get to use my morning time for something besides nurturing coffee and all the drama that surrounds it. 🧚
Anita, I love your candor with all you’ve gone through. Your style and the little silly outtakes are great. You’re making me want to do the lion diet. Thank you also for sharing how you transitioned off coffee. Been a lifelong crutch for me and I’ve tried cold Turkey cutting it out, which gave me a terrible migraine. But I think the switch to decaf for a week might help. You’re definitely a role idle for me. Thank you for sharing all that you do!!
Thank you and good luck!
Soooo happy for you Anita! You are looking fantastic 🎉
Exactly what I’ve been looking for! TY for your generosity in sharing so much details and how/what to make on carnivore lifestyle & with what equipment. TY ❤
You look fabulous 🥰
I am from Dayton, Ohio. I Had leg cramps and started taking magnesium citrate. I no longer have leg cramps unless I forget to take those pills.
I am inspired &;will start a 30-day Lion run tomorrow. Carnivore has been so good to and for me. I'm excited for the next month! Thank you!
Wonderful!
Anita, you never fail to be a beautiful person with so much inspiration for the human race. Thank you❤
Such a great an inspirational video, im doing the lion diet after watching you and Christina, i love your videos, thank you ❤️
Kudos to you!🎉
You inspire me Anita! I appreciate you so much💕💕
Great video!
You've given me some wonderful tips on how I can make a smooth transition into the Lion diet. I need to increase my ketones for health reasons.
Thank you.❤
Good luck, I am doing it again in January!
Carnivore is so healing and it reduces inflammation. The lion diet helped myself and my child the most. I'm glad you won't go back to the standard American diet.
Never! And thanks for watching!
Empathize with your wisteria pruning!! My wisteria is devouring my garage!!
They are a bit of work but worth it!
Great job been watching you for awhile
You look fabulous, as if you have had a complete reboot! Great results!
P.S. A suggestion: you mentioned the knee pain, plantar fasciitis; collagen broth is definitely something to use both in acute situations and preventively; but if you have other tips, tricks and recipes that you have found to be anti-inflammatory in that particular context, it would really, really help many of us? Just a summary video with links to previously recorded content?
The biggest factor has so far been sardines and seafood! I have an entire playlist devoted to this! th-cam.com/play/PLcnK_MiscYLJsAR_i86wo6HY3NwmRn8GP.html
I'm a 62 year old female, had alot of foot problems and alot of inflammation in my back, i started hrt at 60 and that took away all foot pain and about 90 percent of the inflammation away, I'm about 80 percent carnivore.
Im admiring your beautiful kitchen too. Also i noticed in your bone broth video how young you are looking...not only your beautiful face but also the way you hold your body...you are built and hold yourself more like a 20 yr old would. You are amazing and motivate me so much.
I too drink coffee daily. Not a lot, just 1 cup of the morning but have to have my splash of heavy cream and having rheumatoid arthritis i think maybe it is contributing to my pain & inflammation 😢
I need to work on giving it up to at least SEE if it improves things more.
Thank you so much for another great helpful video ❤
I honestly didn't know that i could give up coffee, I assumed I couldnt! If you have RA, it's definitely worth a shot!
Thank you very much for your excellent presentation. You have done so well with this diet, and explain it all perfectly:)
Glad it was helpful!
Wow. That’s awesome! 🎉You look great! I’m hoping to do the carnivore diet at least.
Thank you for your story, it’s encouraging and educational
*Loved that outro~ reminded me of the old Faberge shampoo commercials..." and they told two friends, who then told two friends...and so on...and so one"~ the people squares & voices kept multiplying on the screen like that~ awesome.
Also feels like exactly what's happening with this proper eating for our species. The knowledge & benefits are growing rapidly at this point, which is quite thrilling. When you feel this good, it's natural to want others to as well.
Yes, I try not to preach about it but come on people! This is the best!
If you like lamb, I'd suggest seeing if you can find mutton - it has more flavour.
Continued good fortune on your journey. I love your recipes.
Cool, thanks!
You inspire me, Anita! ❤️
Love Dr Berry❤❤❤
Thank you
You inspire us to be open minded.
Hi Anita... great video today... My grandma always used white pepper as it is not irritating the same as black pepper and tastes the same. I am sensitive to Black pepper myself and my body seems to tolerate the white pepper. I was unable to keep to Carnivore more than 95% and never lost any weight in six years eating that way. So, today I am on day 8 of a water only fast, with Electrolytes and Redman's real salt. I have now lost 11 pounds so far. I am not sure how long I can keep to this water fast, but I am going to go as long as I feel good. I am doing this to finally eliminate my pre-diabetes and high blood pressure conditions. I feel after this fast I will be able to do Carnivore 100% as hopefully my carb-cravings will be gone. On my water fast, I am having what my Grandma called "Silver Tea", it is simply hot water, and it is surprising how good it is. Bone broth is a great start to any day and that is how I will break my fast. Also I think it was Dante who mentioned he sometimes has hot water with butter in it.
Yes I have heard others do hot water with butter, bone broth with butter. Great choices!
Hot water with butter emulsified via beating together vigorously till a thick froth develops, is my fave before bed! So soothing and yummy!
Please watch a long fast refeeding video, if you have not already done so - how you end your fast is the most important part, and can also be the most dangerous!
@@annmariering6606 I did my first 30 day fast in 1974. I have nearly every book written on fasting and watched all the Experts such as Don and Tyler Tolman, Dr. Alan Goldhammer, and Tanglewood wellness fasting Center. Thank you for your concern.
Gosh I haven’t see n you for years being on weight watchers now I’m still struggling so going back to keto oh can I say I love seeing and hear you such a great journey you have shared
welcome back!
Hugs to you on the loss of your uncle.
It's exciting to hear about a puppy going on the journey with you. I wouldn't claim the fattest man on the carnivore diet for very long. We can already see a change in you as well as you can see that change. You'll start seeing muscle that you didn't know you had. Keep up the good work. We're watching for you.
Hello from Monroe WA! I'm going to check out your Carnivore recipes. Thanks for sharing your journey. 👍😊🥩💜
Thank you!
You look amazing! 🦁
Gd job Anita. Caffeinated coffee puts my blood sugar up and both caffeinated and decaf give me muscle cramps, probably because it dehydrates me. So i drink decaf no more than 2 cups. I haven't tried the lion diet yet. I eat sardines several times a week and it lowers my blood pressure from 120/80 to about 110/70! Yay!
I’m finding sardines difficult. Are you just eating them as is or cooking them? Thank you.
@@dyanalayng5507 try the Brisling sardines in olive oil :)
Those sardines are magical little fishies!
Amen! Sister! I agree. This is the PHD. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you very much for sharing your journey. I allways enjoy listening to you. I can relate to all your issues with things like pepper etc. I have just decided to do something after mostly carnivore and a stint of of ketogenic diet. I have been stuck on 84 kilos for a while after loosing 20kilos over the last 18 months.
I feel good and most of the inflammation has gone but still have some digestion problems.
Sending love and best wishes.
❤❤❤starting Lion diet tomorrow😊
Thanks, Anita!
I love your videos, stories, and recipes. I had horrible cramps for years. I would wake up in the middle of the night, and my whole body would stiffen into a tight cramp. I learned that the combo of daily lymphatic drainage and muscle training completely stopped my cramps. My physical therapist explained that weak muscles can cause cramps. She put me on chair swats and various other basic exercises to strengthen my muscles. I only do the exercises occasionally now as maintainence, but I still never have cramps. Also, I monitor my hydration levels through a body bio impedance scale with hand grips. I've been able to watch my hydration levels increase and body fat decrease. It is very motivational, especially when my weight loss tapers, but I see my muscle and bone mass increase while my body fat decreases. I weigh first thing every morning. I put ice water in a wide mouth mason jar with lid and straw and slip the jar into an insulating sleeve. I add a full baby spoon of Redmond salt to my water and sometimes 1 drop of Lugal's iodine. I drink 2 to 4 quarts a day.
Wonderful, thank you!
Hi when we do the first of the year corporate fast I will cut the coffee and use green tea for a few days, then I put a green tea in a bottle of water and a day or two later I'm off caffeine. Awesome 👌. GOD BLESS
Yea Anita.!!! Good for you.!
So lovely that your experience on lion is positive. You look wonderful and sound wonderful too. I do not want to ever go off ketovore (except to go closer to carnivore). Trading life for less than living is just not worth it.
If you do not have a reason to do it then there is no point, just keep doing doing what is working best for you! But I assure you that for me it is not 'less than living' when you feel your best ever and finally start to resolve long standing issues. Very much worth it!
@@KetogenicWomanYou misunderstood, Anita! They said the only way they'll leave ketovore is to go Carnivore - going back to SAD would be trading life for a less healthy life, and would not be worth it!
As for you, kudos on your success with the lion diet - you can totally see how successful it's been for you! I added decaf coffee, cream, and cheese back into my diet about 8 weeks ago and it finally caught up with me... I'm back to pain in all of my joints, heartburn, bad sleep, less mental clarity, and a 10 lb weight gain!! Looks like I need the Lion diet in my life!!
Just listened to your part regarding muscle cramps. That’s a magnesium deficiency and feeling any shocks/neuropathy is calcium. Drink milk for calcium, supplements for magnesium.
I enjoyed this video. You make lion diet seem doable.
I just come across your video. Very interesting and would love to try this lion diet never heard of it before. However I’m allergic to beef so I guess it is out for me lol. You look amazing!
Lamb is also an option :) and venison
This is so intriguing. I am on the fence. First time I did carnivore wasn't too good. Also gave up coffee for 9 months and was miserable the whole time. Tried super gut and it helped my issues but too many carbs. If I try carnivore again it would be lion. But I'm worried the progress I made with the super yogurts would be undone...currently doing a low carb with l. reuteri yogurt. Doing pretty well but still struggling with some things.
How about Lion plus yoghurt? ☺️
I totally understand your concern with the yogurt as I had exactly the same concern about the progress with my knee using sardines. I am going to address this in detail in tonight's livestream.
Enjoyed the video . Thanks for the update
Thank you so much for a very interesting video. I am sorry LMNT don't sell to Europe. I hope they will change that, since I liked it so much when I was able buy it.
Thank you so, so very much, Anita, for this video. Your lion diet experience and resultant success and health improvements are definitely motivating. I’ve been struggling with the carnivore diet and all its variations. I really like the K.I.S.S. of the lion diet but was afraid I’d be bored and left wanting/ craving. After watching this video, I am determined to move forward and embrace the lion diet, seeking to feel my absolute best at age 67. I haven’t watched all your videos and apologize if you’ve covered this in another video but have you had a DEXA scan? I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and am hoping I can manage, if not improve my bone health with the carnivore diet. Again, thanks so much for all your hard work and your caring, sharing heart.
I had a DEXA scan a couple years while at KetoCon. They are hard to get in Canada so I'm hoping to get another scan in 2025 when I travel to the US.
About a year ago, I did 60 days lion diet and did not really notice any difference. I may try it again next year.
Thank you for this episode!! I have been considering giving up coffee for a long time (for my knees). Some days they’re great (way better than pre carnivore 3 years ago). I’m not too worried about headaches but it’s a huge social thing with my husband and I. We’re retired and meet friends for coffee frequently. I guess by now I should be used to everyone thinking I’m the weirdest person ever with my eating habits. I’m thinking maybe taking bone broth (or hot water) in a travel mug? I realllly want to do this!!!
🙌🙌🙌 great job!
Thanks for sharing!! This really helps
Anita thanks so much for this video, I do believe I will give it a try, You are such an inspiration and a blessing 🩷
Me too. I had thought I wasn’t having enough salt so I upped it then it occurred to me that the salt might be the problem as I was always feeling and looking dehydrated and thirsty. Hardly any muscle cramps since giving up salt. Only very mild ones every few weeks which is so much better
You mentioned "Plantar Fasciitis" - I had no idea what that was. Then you said morning foot pain - I've had that pain for many months now. So, I immediately paused your video to go research that topic. Dr Berg has great videos about it!
My chiropractor stretched the tendons on both feet and I have had no problems for the last few years. It was a painful few minutes but I had been hurting for months and hated getting out of bed and putting my feet on the floor each morning.
I'm so happy to not have that anymore!
Ive been keto/carnivore since February. I'm trying to work up the courage to go lions diet now. This video was so helpful! I didnt know to put the unflavored lmnt in bone broth. thats brilliant. I just cant get it down plain and the flavored stalls my weightloss.
@@DaughterofKings22 I like to add a drop of lemon essential oil (food grade ) and have the raw unflavored one in carbonated water, maybe that would be another option for you.
@altawalker29 thats a great idea! Thank you!
Congratulations on the lion diet!
Truly you have sculpted results ! I noticed right away
