This "new" way of eating is absolutely working for me. Low blood sugars, high ketones, NO HUNGER, no sleepiness after eating. WINNER!! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Would u consider just giving an example of a couple meals that u eat? I still have higher blood sugars and major sleepies after eating keto or carni. Ty so much 🙏🏼
@@CG-mj8tk Agreed. This would be very helpful. I listen to all of this but can't seem to put the pieces together into what meals should actually look like!
It’s the genes. I currently eat a SAD And people cannot believe that I am 52, and my mom also looks much younger for her age. Many vegans and raw vegans look younger; again, it’s in your genes.
I agree, she is very beautiful, however it does seem she has a filter or special lighting on her face. Either way, she looks great, and she is so helpful.
I just want to publicly thank Kelly Hogan for being as absolutely genuine and sweet off-camera as she is on-camera. She really is the kindest person with a mission and a heart that deeply desires to help people. Kelly, you truly are a blessing to us all! We APPRECIATE you so very much! ❤
She is a DOLL!!! I was SUPER blessed to discover her on Dr. Berry’s channel on the same day I really decided to give Carnivore a go-her joy has been so helpful!!! ❤❤
You both seem genuine and thoughtful, thanks for the tips. I would love to know how your mother made out. My mother’s health is how I ended up diet digging.
My signs of hyperthyroidism cleared up with a high fat carnivore lifestyle. I also lost 46 pounds, got off blood pressure meds, and lost eczema on my skin. I feel better at 65 than I did at 23. I have followed a mostly beef, butter, bacon and eggs for the last year. I can’t wait to see how I feel at my 2 year anniversary. I do sometimes have seafood, turkey and chicken. I had cake on my daughters and wife’s birthdays in June and December. I no longer have gum disease. I have traded the boredom of this simple whole foods diet, for the boredom of doctor’s offices, dentists, pharmacy lines and blood draws. I would much rather be bored with this lifestyle and have energy, alertness and general feel good vitality.
7:07. Minimum 200g animal fat. 7:30. 55 years old! 10:25. 43-70g protein. If you weight lift heavy, then 80g protein for women. 11:32. Hypochlorhydria - poor kidney - Low stomach acid. 15:00 how much protein. 16:35. 4 oz protein. 18:50 ketotic version of carnivore ... purines ... 20:20 bone marrow / canned oysters in water (not sunflower oil) ... 22:20 four health problems. 24:00 how to avoid under-eating / eat fat... 27:30 magnesium/ mackerel
I took notes too, never thought to write down the times...smart! She did mention low stomach acid. I can't remember what she said to do about it, or does eating this way fix it on its own? Pretty sure I have low stomach acid.
@@kerrieverett3232 On the most recent video on Steak and Butter Girl, the suggestion was to have a stick of butter. I prefer a package of cream cheese. Both are just under 100g of fat. A pound of 73/27 hamburger adds approximately another 100g. The total protein is under 100g.
This makes TOTAL SENSE to me!! When I was on Keto, I ate 2 6-8oz servings of meat per day, along with other things of course. My morning blood glucose was running around 130 to 160. I lowered my protein to 2 4oz servings per day, and my glucose came down to around 87 in the AM and around 67 in the PM. I FELT SO MUCH BETTER!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I LOVE your videos. There is not enough HELP for women in regards to nutrition. I am 60 years old. Have spent two DECADES unable to walk, dealing with spinal arthritis and autoimmune issues. I am 4 months into the Carnivore diet and my health is coming back. I do not have the daily constant pain anymore, I am walking, my hair is growing back, I do not have the awful chronic fatigue.....blah, blah, blah. Anyway, thanks again. Your videos are helping me recover! ps. I will NEVER go back to Western medicine.
Same Sis, I had cancer in 2005, last year I felt so bad I thought it was back. 6 weeks into carnivore and I feel like I’m back in my 20’s!! I’ll be 65 in a few months. I was so sick I took early retirement. I just went into my old job to visit and NO ONE recognized me!!! I’ve only lost 12 pounds on the scale but my body composition is changing every week! I am never going back!! Thank you for saving my life, Zero Carb people!!!❤
Oh how I wish this interview and the one with Amber had occurred earlier. 😢 I started carnivore with fasting and eating 4-5 pounds of meat on feasting days. Hormones tanked, stopped all fasting and introduced 2 to 3 sticks of butter a day but didn’t cut back on protein. I’ve been carnivore seven months and have put on almost 50 pounds in the last three months after I stopped all fasting. I did at least heal all discernible hormone issues, but boy oh boy, I cannot wait to lose weight. What a rocky journey this has been so far. These interviews of yours have arrived in my life better late than never. Thank you for always seeking to help those of us struggling in the carnivore community. ❤
Why are you feeling it necessary to be eating 4-5 pounds of meat a day?!? Based on the 20% fat mince I have in my fridge right now that's between 5000-6500 calories a day just from meat! And 400-500g of fat.
@@LeanneJuliette well, we all come from different metabolic issues, Leanne, and I definitely had leptin resistance, from my history of excessive yo-yo dieting and over exercising. When fasting, that hunger persisted. When I stopped fasting, and stuffed my body with nutrients, showed it we were safe, my hunger naturally went from 4-5lbs/day to 1.5-2lbs/day, over the course of 2.5months. Carnivore is supposed to be the cure all, but it isn’t instant. It doesn’t matter what I was “supposed” to eat, if I restricted, then carnivore would be just another restriction diet, and my starving leptin resistant body might have forced me off this healing path with bingeing. It’s been a trying journey, but I’ve learned more than most in my incessant quest for answers, and I thrive on a challenge.
I completely understand. No need to explain. This is a strategy that has worked for some, but not me. Now you’re approaching this with some experience and info behind you. I hope you keep at it, and find health and success with this way of eating.
I was really hungry when I first went carnivore. I was forced to stop eating plants, because I was getting violently ill after eating my daily lunch salad. I couldn’t eat plants without spending 4 hours on the toilet. So when I first started carnivore, I gained 26 lbs in 8 months. Then I started watching my food intake and lost the weight in 17 days.
I have been following Stephanie off and on for a while and what I like about her is she never changes her style no matter what the trend comes and goes. I upped my fat and lowered protein, eating throughout a day since August and feel great. It’s not like unicorn firecracker energy, it is STEADY long lasting energy throughout a day. I followed a lot of carnivore who promote fasting (mostly men), but now I focus you and Stephanie since I am 44, female! I sleep better, no waking up for bathroom trip anymore. My fasting BS is on 70s! Thank you Kelly for great interview and now I am going to listen one more time!!😆😆😆
"unicorn firecracker"🧨🎠energy might have been what we'd get in our 20's or 30's eating this way, yet we're smart enough to be realistic in our 40's & 50's(me) For decades, I ate 5 or 6 tiny meals throughout the day; a couple oz protein, & a handful of greens or other veg~ virtually fat free. It worked for weight loss, but after so many yrs of fat starving my body, I now struggle to get enough in trying to eat once or twice a day- which is how often I'm hungry now. Since I'm also ~ post meno, I'm considering going back to the "grazing" way, despite all the negative slant out there. People have to find their own best fit, imho~ & that's more than okay!
I feel better on moderate protein and high fat too! My trainer kept pushing 90g+ protein per day for my small petite frame with insulin resistance. I’m glad I listened to my body and intuition instead. ❤
I've been on keto for a couple months now and something I noticed instantly was the nights I ate a lot of fat I woke up in the morning convinced I would be heavier and I was actually lighter and was able to fast the next day a lot longer
Same. I have a GI illness and need rest days from solid food but some days instead no food fasting I have c8 MCT oil and butter blended in 2 or 3 hot drinks (coffee or green tea usually) and it works. I’ve even heated up my electrolyte and Ayer blended butter or ghee and felt better still giving my digestion lots of rest to work on healing.
With high fat I can fast longer too, but I have done some mistake for sure, because my muscles were low on energy but I felt really happy. So I tried to get carbo again, and I am no longer fasting a lot because in the morning I want to eat, and I feel less happy than before
This is possibly the best video I have watched regarding macros in use. I've been vegan - now vegetarian - and seriously considering going carnivore after watching both this channel and steak and butter gal for some time now. What Stephanie has to say really resonates with me, particularly as I'm approaching 60. I have come to realise fitness and wellbeing is not a vanity or body-image thing, but is essential for maintaining a positive outlook on life as we grow older. I am so glad these Ladies provide such a forum to share their experiences and encourage others to achieve what should be considered a "normal" looking womanly physique. Blessings
Yes, we need the bioavailable animal protein and fat for muscle building or muscle maintenance as we age. Crude protein in plants is not well absorbed.
You might as well try, but maybe ease into it by starting lowering carbs, upping fat and going into keto for a few weeks before carnivore or you'll probably give yourself the runs for a week like some people do by switching right away without the body prepared to digest that quantity of fat.
Hi! I agree. I’m ready to try this plan. I’ve been keto for 1.5 years with great improvements, but I often don’t fall asleep well at night. I’m eager to do high fat medium protein. It’s not surgery; if we want to switch, we can. We have freedom of choice. ❤
Just found you.... first time listening. You gals just saved me. Nailed my problem. I'm 54...low carb for almost 3 years now. I'm at my ideal body weight and A1C is 5.2. I am carnivore. But my morning fasting glucose is 130. I can't sleep all night. Low energy and no motivation....I am eating to much meat!! Going to eat more fat and little meat and get back to you. I will be checking my glucose in the mornings and report back.
So it's been a year. A lot has happened. My insomnia and increased blood sugars were caused by my statin Crestor. I stopped statins. Blood sugar came down and sleeping better. But that being said. Eating large amounts of protein at dinner still increases my morning blood sugars. Eating less protein and more vegetables at dinner made my morning Glucose levels lower. Large portions of beef for some reason raises my blood glucose levels. Finally, the big finding was...I learned about ApoB and Lipoprotein Fractional blood tests. I am a LDL Phenotype B which means I have way too many small dense LDL particles. So I'm eating more of a mediterranean diet now. More fiber and less fat....not zero fat. Just not eating the fat I was eating.
Stephanie is amazing and deserves more attention! Her and Dr. Georgia Ede were the first women I found when I started researching carnivore to treat my terrible mental health. She is a wealth of knowledge and following her advice I never felt better. High fat carnivore eliminated my depression, anxiety and suspected PMDD and GREATLY reduced the negative aspects of my ASD. I wish more people would treat their ASD with a carnivore diet, it's been such a godsend to feel calm and happy.
I started eating carnivore when I heard it alleviated symptoms of bipolar disorder. It wasn't until my depression and anxiety went away that I FINALLY figured out (in my 40's) that ASD is what I've been struggling with all my life. Halle-freakin-lujah!! 🙏
Yep, ASD, ADD, anxiety, etc all getting better for me on carnivore. When my daughter was diagnosed with ASD she agreed to eat steaks and keto ice cream, her symptoms improved dramatically. She went back to regular eating and 😭
@@melissahood2960 my kid is all about building muscle right now. He has ADHD and temper issue. I'm telling him to eat carnivore for muscle. Two birds one stone.
I'm so glad and relieved that I found this video! I've been stressing that I wasn't getting enough protein a day because I was around 60-70 grams, but according to even the lower estimates I should be well over 100 grams. I just could not eat that much protein without feeling nauseous, especially since I was trying to keep my fat intake high (over 150) and the fat kills my hunger completely. It makes me feel so much better to know it's ok to only be in the 60-70 gram range for protein. Thank you to both of you!
Yes, exactly the same situation I am experiencing this first week on high fat carnivore!! I’ve kept a daily food journal this week so I would ensure I stayed on the ‘recommended’ macros for my gender, age height, weight and sedentary lifestyle: 1,800 calories, 140 grams protein and 170 grams fat. And oh my gosh, I’ve felt stuffed and nauseated at/after dinner the past 3 straight days. I’ve been fasting today because I wanted to recalculate and restart my carnivore journey with high fat, MODERATE protein. With this video full of new info and alternatives-so relieved, happy!-I’m going to shift my daily protein goal to 75-80 and shoot for 30-40% higher fat to protein ratio. ✅
So needed to hear this. Diabetic with recent A1C of 5.7. Doing good clean keto. Been transitioning to carnivore but fasting # 100 to 120. I really don't like eating so much meat. Loved that she said she eats a little every 2 or 3 hours which is what I like to do. I'm 68 and just need to be gentle with my body. Glad I tried carnivore, but im going back to less protein. Feel great, aches and pains gone, brain fog gone, but could sleep better and need to be less constipated.
I have been "Keto" for 10 years, the last three of those have been carnivore. The first 2yrs of C, I had gained 30+ lbs trying to eat so much meat (fatty ribeye's) per day. I went back to Stephanie's recommendations and feel the best that I have. I think im starting to lose weight. Clothes fit better and I get compliments everyday, but I try and stay off of the scales for mental sanity :) I love you two!!! Yes, High Protein DOES NOT work for everyone! I learned the hard way.
Thanks for sharing. Whats a typical day of eating look like for you? I am newer to carnivore, one month in and think high protein makes me feel bad too
Honestly this video couldn't have come at a better time for me. I've been feeling pretty tired on carnivore and hard to get through my workouts and now I'm sure it had a lot to do with too much protein and too little fat. Her advice has been so helpful and gives me hope going forward 😊
I’ve had a feeling of dropped blood sugar and hunger after my workouts lately which if I eat early it throws off my illness recovery schedule. I hope as I lower protein and increase fat I will see this after workout feeling resolve. I used to never have this, ketones would be sufficient and my strength training would be strong. I’ve lost energy along the way with too much protein that my body can use apparently . Off to get fattier beef tomorrow, pork belly, and fat trimmings. I love butter but too much congests my sluggish lymphatics then my legs puff.
Don't forget to add electrolytes, magnesium, potassium NOT POTASSIUM. CHLORIDE which is in many bought Electrolyte drinks. Stephanie recommends eating Avocados, and MEAT. Broth for natural Potassium.
@@judywitthoft1122Omgosh I got a horrible leg cramp that woke me up at 4am this morning. Maybe I need to add back electrolytes. I stopped taking them for two days.
Excellent info. I think the high fat of keto helped me lose the majority of my weight. But carnivore helped me end my binging and healed many other issues. This is the best of both worlds and makes so much sense to me. ❤❤
Okay. Where to start?! I LOVE STEPHANIE! She is so balanced in her outlook and 55 years old; WHAT?!!! I had just asked the protein amount question in Keto AF on FB this week and wasn't really convinced by the answer that it didn't matter as far as age, etc. I am 65, female, with an autoimmune challenge (MS diagnosed 30 years ago). I've been carnivore for 2 years and have noticed in the last few months that high protein is causing my glucose to be off balance. I was afraid of too much fat as I kept having diarrhea and thought it was the fat. So this week, I started eating my fat first and then a bit smaller amounts of protein. Diarrhea GONE. Whoa. Thank you, as always, Kelly Hogan, for bringing alternative views to our attention; so freaking helpful. We love you.
Stephanie and I spoke together on a show with Bart Kay. We are very much on the same page here. I have been using 60-75g of protein for my clients for years and have taken a lot of slack for it from much of the community. It works. I myself stick to 90-120g and have added 50lbs of muscle in the last 10 years. So many try and tell me this is impossible. Look at Stephanie and look at me. We are both very well defined and have lots of lean mass using these amounts.
Im so confused because I just read Doctor Gabrielle Lyon's book and she states high fat is not what she recommends and she recommends 1g of protein per body weight or goal weight. I do however feel more clarity on higher fats, moderate protein. I find it hard to even reach 100g of protein a day.
Yes I was thinking why am I still feeling bad, everyone else is just eating meat and feeling great? But having insulin resistance does mean maybe simple isn't that simple I'm finally learning this.
"We don't have to agree on everything in order to learn from each other"~amen, Amen, & AMEN!!! This was a fine, educational- & rather liberating, actually~ example of that very premise Kelly🌼 Thanks to the both of you for all that you offer this community of health seekers. Really awesome conversation all around. Samantha in AZ
Thank you thank you thank you Kelly, for inviting this incredible woman onto your show. I feel SO MUCH relief after hearing this interview and the one previous with Amber O'Hearn ... I feel like I finally have the support I need to recover my health. Huge love to you!!
Finally, I've been trying for three years and was about to give up. This was my key to healing, much appreciated! This was yours and Stephanie's best video for me.
This is so awesome and fun to listen to. I recently blew out my MCL and chose to only eat Carnivore (I’ve been ketovore) to see if it would heal quickly. Within 4 days I was walking normal and feeling amazing. I wasn’t doing jumping jacks - but there is no way I should be walking around without a limp! Go to today’s lunch of Avocado and protein shake - and suddenly I am in huge pain and limping around. Coincidence? I think not. This may be the push (smack in the head) I need to go all in for carnivore.
Excellent, excellent video. I'm one of those who has gained from Stephanie's content after I became pre-diabetic on higher protein carnivore. My A1c has gone from 5.8 to 5.3 in 6 weeks after reducing the protein and upping the fat.
Reminder that A1c on carnivore often goes up because blood cells have a longer lifetime so the blood sugar correlation falls apart compared to those that use a continuous glucose monitor for average - you might not be as high blood sugar as you think.
you can clarify the butter by melting it at low heat and just skim the clear liquid butter oil on top which is most of the butter, and throw away the white milk liquid that collects at the bottom, which is very little. and you can store the clarified butter outside at room temperature for a year, and it doesn't go rancid.
Stephanie has a gift for explaining things simplistically! Grateful for her dedication to loving people enough to take her time to help them with her incredible knowledge! And thank you to you Kelly for your willingness to think outside the carnivore box. I know that must be challenging because of your success but it’s much appreciated❤
This was the conversation we needed! So happy to hear you talk to Stephanie! Both Stephanie Person and Amber O'Hearn have true depth of knowledge on these topics. They know what they are talking about. Insulin resistance and metabolic health is key. High fat is key. Eat only the amount of protein that your body can utilize. No fasting. Eat throughout the day.
This was so helpful to me. I was doing carnivore for 3 weeks, but I am insulin resistant and I was so tired and now I know why. Thank you for this information. I'm going to get back on carnivore.
Hi, I just watched this podcast. Like you mentioned here, I have been on carnivore for 3 weeks and have not had any results. Quite discouraging. Did you change to a higher fat lower protein diet? And did you see improvements? What were your results? Also, what does your daily food intake look like? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Stephanie is so underrated it’s baffling🤔I first heard about keto on TH-cam through her. I turned my eating around and started to pursue information on keto and the detriment of sugar and carbs. I’m carnivore today but thanks to Stephanie and her Keto channel back when it was all men high five-in steaks and carbs cycling donuts. ❤❤❤
I've been been following her probably since like 2015 when I first tried keto. She is awesome, but I think her "strictness" and telling people to not drink coffee turns some people away. The fact she is 55 and has been doing this for at least 10 years shows it works.
Some people find her abrasive. I remember way back when she went on Leanne Vogel's podcast and Leanne did a disclaimer before the podcast because she didn't want anyone to get offended. I thought it was funny - I like Stephanie's style!
THANK YOU ❣️ so much for wanting to share what's worked for you and also different things as well...I have dieted my whole life...tried everything...now I'm 47, peri menopausal to now pre menopausal nothing has worked. My Dr.s have said "oh it's normal for a woman your age" WHY?? Why is this normal??...finally no sugar has changed my life, trying healthy keto but realized the 75% of my plate can't be vegetables. I was getting too much protein my kidneys started to hurt and I have a bag under my one eye...from my kidney! Trying desperately to figure this out because I'm running out of time to heal before I'm diabetic. Your videos of how protein can turn to sugar 🤯...I was mind blown! That's it! So making changes again but this time I know I'm on the right path!! Thank you again Kelly & Friends for actually helping people, especially wemon my age! It's not normal to have hairloss, numb feet and hands, can barely walk, look & feel old at 47...not normal! Thank you❣️ Thank you❣️ Thank you ❣️
Kelly…thank you for always always prefacing every “different” way of carnivore/keto with every person is different. I am so used to those hard core carnivore/keto experts insisting that their way is the only way. By listening to my body more intuitively I am finding my way step by step. I have learned so much listening to your videos so thank you again for presenting things simply and honestly. Love you!!
I was eating carnivore but wasn't even aware that my fat intake was so low. No carbs, no fat, no access to fays because the insuline spike caused by eating meat my poor body was swetting like a pig trying to convert proteins into fuel. I had to change my t-shirts at the middle of the night. At least 2 rounds to pee. During the day I was so tired I was like a walking zombie. My third day of high fat carnivore and I can not believe how everything just clicked. I feel like I finally found the key to heavens. Everything feels right. I eat 150-200 gr lamb tail fat which is amazing. Soft and it melts like butter. I did't try rendred fats yet. And for better digestion I have a tea spoon of vinegar.
I just about laid an egg when she said she was 55. And I’m a dude so I don’t have any eggs. Her skin is 20 years younger than she looks. Both of you look fantastic! My own experience has been a struggle because of back pain and hypochloridia. So everything that she had to say is making a lot of sense. I experience super gassy tightness in my chest because I don’t seem to be digesting properly But only one I eat only meat. I will try increasing my fat ratio.
Thank you both SO much for this interview. I'm mid-50s, about 3 years post-menopause, hormones and blood sugar out of whack, got about 60 pounds to lose. So in one corner, you have Dr. Elizabeth Bright, who emphasizes an 80:20 fat to protein ratio and how vital that is to balancing hormones; and in the other corner, several other doctors prominent on TH-cam advocating the opposite - "Oh no! Menopausal women need protein, protein, and more protein! You're losing muscle mass every minute!" It's been incredibly confusing to know how the heck to proceed. Stephanie explains the nuances, fills in the gaps and clears up the confusion for me. (Get the hormones and blood sugar fixed first with high fat, THEN look at increasing protein if appropriate.)
I have followed Steph for about 7 or 8 years now and girl is aging backwards! She looks younger than when I first started watching her. She keeps it real and is honest about her own journey, sharing her own bumps along the road with diet etc.
This was sooo helpful. I've been watching you both for a while and I love Stephanie's videos, but it's been a little hard piecing everything together. There's usually a little nugget in every video that's awesome information. This really helped my understanding hearing it all together in one video. Thank you, Kelly! You're amazing. You've helped me a lot. ❤️
I feel like this is the video I needed to see today! I did keto for a while in 2017 and had great success until I felt like I could "treat" myself with junk. Once I fell off that wagon, it took me years to even attempt to try again, but I jumped into carnivore instead. I could never make it stick and this video brought up some valid points. I'm about to deep dive all of Stephanie's socials. 😁 Thank you for this video, Kelly. You're one of my top health mentors because you are always open to talking to others who have taken different paths but have arrived at the same destination of optimal health. You're an eternal student, as am I. ♥
This is something I've suspected for a long time. I had been doing keto years ago & my husband had bariatric surgery. To be supportive of him, I followed the pre & post-op diet with him. I GAINED weight! My theory was that it was due to the higher amount of protein than what I had been consuming on keto. Makes perfect sense!
I've been waiting for this interview to be published, it's the best. I'm currently binge watching all of @stephanie Keto person videos. I've been High fat Zero Carb for a long time. I'm learning so much more from Stephanie that I didn't know. I love the reasoning behind lower protein. I need high fat lower protein for my health issues. I love the energy that comes from eating fat. I look forward to learning more. Previously I have felt out of step in the 'Carnivore' online presence.With emphasis on only very large meals. Or fasting. Thank you @myzerocarblife for always zeroing in on health in such a gracious manner. I'm glad our journey has intertwined.
Outstanding and very inspirational! I’ve got just three weeks on carnivore and I am loving it! The best thing about carnivore is you’re not as hungry as in Keto and much faster results! I couldn’t lose anymore weight on regular Keto. I am so grateful that there is something else. I’ve already reversed a fatty liver, fatty liver and pancreas and seventy pounds pounds later, now this is a for a healthy lifestyle. This two and a half journey has been a lot of fun and educational! Thank you for the great podcast!
Loved it! Real talk from two who have also 1- been in the Keto/ Carnivore space for many years and 2- don’t just go the way the wind blows with some of the ridiculous recommendations that are out there. I also love that you discussed the underlying blocking factors such as hormone and gut issues that need to be addressed for long term results. This is not discussed enough. Food first always and test don’t guess 👍🏼
Thank you for this interview with Stephanie & its good to hear you have tried it too. I am soon to be 73 and switched to Carnivore this year after having good success on keto the year before. But ever since, my BG has gone up after being below 100 before and ketones went way down. Now I know its because I am not utilizing all the protein I have been eating. Also my sleep problems returned as did the struggle with snacking. I am definitely going to try her method and see how I do - Thanks! We are not men...my biggest struggle has been how to get more fat into my diet w/o the extra protein. Voila - I found pork belly at Wild Fork Foods (very reasonable prices too). Edit: Tried a pork belly recipe I found and ate it last night and my BG dropped that extra 30 pts I have been getting since starting carnivore, literally overnight! And my ketones were over 1.0 this morning for the 1st time all year. Amazingly simple and I only had to add a little extra butter (so far) to get things moving again.
Stephanie, I started keto for the same reason as you! My husband had a GBM and I believe it helped him for a long time, even though he has passed. I have since learned so much about keto that is amazing and I want to live my best life possible. I'm a mostly carnivore and totally keto. It's been great. We all have to find what works for us, don't we? Wonderful video filled with amazing advice! Thanks ladies!
I'm 7 minutes in...and she said 55???!!! WOW!!! I've been eating ghee and making tallow cream for the face and even using duck fat for my skin and I see GREAT results!! But I am going to be going back and forth between keto and carnivore till I can be carnivore completely!!
Absolutely loved this video. 2 of my most viewed keto carnivore peeps in 1 video. So informative and learned more info than MOST doctors share and inform us of. Keep it up! Can't wait for an update from both of you again soon. (Coffee could be a subject) 😆
I'm always pushing up your view count, Kelly - I usually listen to your guests two or three times, just to imprint their knowledge and wisdom. I want to look and feel the way Stephanie does when I'm 55!
Awesome interview. I am going to up the fat in my diet and hope it ups my ketones and makes me feel better. I feel good but I need improvement. You have been such a warrior in my life and I love the guys but as a woman I find that you get me so much better! Thank you and love you! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Great video! Stephanie speaks to my Virgo soul with how she really dives deep on these topics. Been watching her videos over the summer and high fat is definitely the way to go for me.
Exactly the information I've been looking for. I'm going to make the change to more fat less protein. I've lost weight but still haven't gotten my A1c to where I want it(normal). Thank you for bringing Stephanie to your channel. The last 4 years have been with keto/carnivore have been a blessing and now more information. 73, Mike
You really are so open and consider everything you hear! Not everyone is the same. I'm definitely going to try this higher fat thing. I have hypothyroidism and my hormones are just not going back into place even though I am mostly carnivore. Thank you for the video and definitely going to subscribe to her TH-cam. You both are so beautiful!
Great interview. I felt like Stephanie was describing me EXACTLY. I feel like I am on the precipice of getting things dialed in. Thank you Kelly and Stephanie.
Much of what Stephanie about protein and blood sugar is true for me. I'm a type 2 diabetic, bordering on remission. Going full carnivore raised my blood sugar by 10-20 points, US measures. Was told to just increase fat, which I did but still had higher blood sugar and gained weight. Kelly suggested cutting protein if I increase fat. I'm lowering my protein but I'm feeling hungry. My fat is butter so I need an alternative. My blood sugar is coming g down slowly, for my previous reading, but it's still over 100 consistently. God this is tough. I now know, high protein raises my blood sugar.
Love Stephanie. She is honest and tells you what works whether someone likes it or not. Having said that eating less protein is extremely difficult especially in the beginning. Thank you Kelly!
Stephanie is an absolute gorgeous and awesome badass! She clearly is worth listening to. Even if we don't necessarily adopt any plant foods, the information that she shared is valuable to carnivores. Glad you had her on!
Wow! Stephanie and Kelly you both look amazing. I'm transitioning to carnivore from keto. It's a challenge. I will incorporate some of these tips going forward. My goals are to reduce inflammation, build muscle and bone density, and to just be healthy. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve worked with Stephanie in the past. She’s kind and knows her stuff. She’s really awesome. I had a hard time with the smaller protein portions (I’m a volume eater because of my big salad days) but it definitely helps lower the blood glucose. I’ve been trying this again. My biggest issue is that I still feel hungry after the first meal. Maybe I should eat some fat first thing in the am with a little protein to help curb my hunger. Im just a volume eater and that’s something I have to get used to. I also think it’s my leptin being so low and it doesn’t register with me that I’m full until 45 minutes later.
i thought the same until i bought fattier cuts of meat (like beef short ribs and marrow)! the fullness hit me like a BRICK when I eat these, whereas i can fnish a 20 oz sirloin and still be hungry
This answered many of my questions and put me more at ease about additional changes I’ve been considering. BG was always 60s-70s with great ketones too (never diabetic) when keto for 6 years. Tested again for first time after strict ZIOH carnivore for 3 years and while ketones are good, BG is high! Waking in high 80s most days. Doing Bruno’s challenge one month now. Recently upped fat to 200 g and have been thinking if I drop my protein even more I’d be compromising muscle protein synthesis but this discussion answered that nicely for me. Thank you!!
@@dianavp9054 if you are trying to keep it carnivore then 1.5lbs of 80/20 ground beef and a pound of bacon. If you are trying to go for high fat and moderate protein carnivore i have found it difficult to get enough fat without dairy but getting special grinds like 70/30 ground beef or getting fat trimmings from a butcher can help, cuts like short ribs, ox tail, or pork belly are really fatty as well.
I've been eating a carnivore diet for a little over two years. I'm not overweight but have a little to much body fat. Nothing that I tried to do ever worked until I watched a couple of Stephanie"s videos. I weighed myself yesterday morning and made a not of my weight and body fat percentage. I ate very small amounts of protein through out the day along with eating more fat (butter) than I've ever eating before. I weighed myself again this morning and in doing this just one day I lost a pound and also saw a reduction in my body fat percentage. I went out today and bought a pair of jeans one size smaller than what I normally wear and I'm calling them my goal pants. I'm excited and look forward to the changes that I expect to see. Thanks Stephanie and Kelly!
This is great! The most helpful interview I've listened to and watched in a long, long time. Thanks for having her on and for allowing her to share her vast knowledge!
l just finished my first week of carnivore & have watched MANY of your videos. l have found them so very helpful & l just love your genuine & positive communication style. Thank you! l look forward to watching more as l continue to learn this diet.
I really want her as a steak and butter gang guest speaker! Me as a female weight lifter, I have so many questions! She is so knowledgeable!!! Love this video!!
This is an eye opening video. One of the main reasons I have gone on carnivore is because of severe tinnitus. I always noticed throughout the years that if I had a high sugar intake, it would make my head spin and get very severe about 30 minutes to an hour after my intake of sugar and it would actually affect my hearing. I am a fitness and dance instructor and if I did a class after eating a considerable amount of sugar, I could hardly hear my students when they spoke to me. I am thinking that I may be insulin resistant. I have been doing carnivore for eight months and I’m still experiencing tiredness in the middle or late afternoon . And I have been told that high protein (meat) turns into sugar. I am going to try to decrease the meat and increase the fat. This makes a lot of sense to me. Thank you for this insightful video.
I'm insulin resistant and have been on Omeprazole for 10 years. Bad acid reflux has gotten slightly better on carnivore. This answered a lot of questions for me. Thank you
Dividing the protein into smaller meals and adding fat two weeks ago after two years carnivore and it absolutely lowered the blood sugar almost immediately and kick started the fat loss.
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 I was one eating 2 lbs of meat in one meal for 1.5 years. Last two weeks been eating a 6 eggs and sausage in the morning and about three hours later about 6 ounces of steak, then around 1-2pm another 6-8 ounces of beef. I have about 1/2 stick of butter each meal and then usually eat another 1/4-1/2 stick around 7-8pm. Still working on it and am going to try to work in the animal fat instead of the butter, just have figured out what yet, prob pork as they talked about. I stayed exactly the same weight for 1.5 years carnivore and still have higher blood sugars than I want, though close to normal - 95-120 in that range. As soon as I added the fat, the sugar started coming down, was in low 80's two days ago. Fat from belly also started coming off very noticeably with the first week. My fasting insulin is down to 8, no idea where I started at, but it was 12 six months ago, so I am sure that I am not completely fat adapted yet either. Pretty sure I was undereating energy, I decided that a couple of months ago, but was trying to figure out what I needed to tweak. I do not work out other than walking twice a day and pushups every 2-3 days, but I do a lot of physical work in the sun all day long, most days. So close to healed after years of diabetes, so ready to get there!
I used to follow Stephanie when I first started keto. And she has some valid points. But she has never been a food addict, fat or even overweight. Also, Dr Ken Berry (and many others in this space) has explained very nicely how gluconeogenesis is need based. Demand driven. Extra protein doesn’t just convert into sugar unless you need it.
@@CG-mj8tk The body can run from either glucose or ketones. If your body goes into gluconeogenesis, that means the body isn’t getting enough fuel, so it’s making glucose from protein. The body will find a way to make fuel to run itself. That’s why Steph says to eat 80% fat in your diet-that’s the ketogenic diet. Eat enough fat so that your body runs on fat and not glucose.
@@toscadonna oh my goodness ty so much for explaining that so simply for me!!! Makes perfect sense. It finally clicked. Basically I’ve been underrating fats. And now I realize I have. Only around 100 grams. Ty so much!!!
Great video showing us that we are all different and there are many cards in our deck of cards. People should NOT follow someone's plan blindly. Find out if it works. If not? Move on!
This was so comforting for me. I had been listening to what my body was asking for and watching how I responded to it, but intellectually was having difficulty being ok with the fat to protein ratio. All that to say this was amazing confirmation! Thank you ❤️
Oh man Kelly I am so grateful for you and your openness, for connecting with other people who are also on this healthier way and have all sorts of ideas I am personally learning from. I really really appreciate you. God bless
I tried that low of protein and didn’t feel good. .7-.8 g/lb works best for optimal energy and sleep for me. But she’s a smart cookie and I appreciate her content.
None of us got issues weight to depression overnight, so for me it's been trial and error. Beef, eggs, bacon and butter work best for me. I don't like complicated or micro issues. Keep up your awesome, uplifting videos Kelly. You are wonderful! Being genuine is much appreciated by me.
My two favorite gurus!!! Loves this!!! Kelly got me excited to try carnivore after getting back to Keto! But Stephanie has really changed how I look at fats and protein! Still trying to get my gallbladder up to eat more fats but it’s getting there! Thank you ladies!!! More videos together!!
I learned this the hard way doing the HCG diet back in the day. For stalls we were supposed to do a protein day. I always gained 2 lbs. Then I head about "fat fasts" and those works! Then I discovered I feel better on 80 percent fat all the time. Weight drops, sleep better, intense body pain from fibromyalgia is cut in half. Now to stick with it long term.
This video has been so helpful. I am struggling to eat - switching from keto to carnivore (currently on Day 9) has completely eliminated ALL of my cravings, including my appetite. I am having to force myself to eat because I am just not hungry anymore. I mean, what is going on??? Was only doing OMAD but I will try to do 3 small meals and be heavier on the fat now. Kelly and Dr Berry have been my go-tos for info and inspiration. Thank you, Kelly!
Thank you, kelly! I have been struggling with losing weight and energy on carnivore. This is the key for me high fat. I knew this on keto but going to carnivore I tried to eat more and more protein and not really focus on fat. High fat is working great for me.
I have not gotten in to the fat trimmings much yet I see people eating them raw I wish I could. I'm just doing butter, ghee, egg yolks and some cheese. It can be challenging to get all that fat sometimes. But I do feel awesome.
@@jebejaray7463 I've been having the same problems as you --- struggling to lose weight and low energy. Could you please tell what you eat in a typical day, to serve as a guideline?? Glad you've found success!!
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 My normal day is I have a coffee with 2 tbsp of butter or ghee, salt blended up. For lunch I have bone broth with butter, a small steak or burger patty with added butter and sometimes cheese, for dinner I have whatever meat sounds good I just make sure that I add lots of fat. At work I'll take a chunk of butter and just eat that. I'll have bacon dipped in cream cheese for a quick lunch. I eat dairy so that helps bump up the fat. I am not fasting right now I just eat my first meal when I'm hungry. I feel like that is helping with my energy. Today for dinner I made egg yolk waffles and a sasandwich with turkey meat and cheese on. I hope that helps
Thanks, Kelly! Just got metabolic panel and glucose was over 100 and I’ve been carnivorous for over four years and lately have packed on belly fat!!! Am definitely giving this a whirl.
If that's based on A1c, you do have to consider that often a continous glucose monitor shows that the blood cells must live longer on carnivore so the formula falls apart and blood sugar correlation isn't accurate, but if that was fasting glucose then you're definitely getting the dawn effect and need to change something.
Oh wow, great interview. This woman is my age and I look like her grandmother. I feel motivated to be young and beautiful again energy and no inflammation. Thanks Stephanie.

This "new" way of eating is absolutely working for me. Low blood sugars, high ketones, NO HUNGER, no sleepiness after eating. WINNER!! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
That is awesome!!! Many of my group members are reporting similar results! I’m glad you’re feeling better! ❤️
yes awesome o hear about stephanie's mom. i have a friend with bran cancer also.
Would u consider just giving an example of a couple meals that u eat? I still have higher blood sugars and major sleepies after eating keto or carni. Ty so much 🙏🏼
@@CG-mj8tk Agreed. This would be very helpful. I listen to all of this but can't seem to put the pieces together into what meals should actually look like!
@@CG-mj8tk Kelly posts a lot of pics of what she's eating on Instagram.
My jaw dropped when she said she is 55 😮 upping my fat and lowering protein from now on!
I know looks like 35
Exactly 35
I was thinking more in her mid 20s. Beautiful ❤️.
@@ummm8511Agreed! I had no idea she was that old!
It’s the genes. I currently eat a SAD And people cannot believe that I am 52, and my mom also looks much younger for her age. Many vegans and raw vegans look younger; again, it’s in your genes.
55? That's crazy! She easily looks 35. Just gorgeous. This was so inspirational. Thank you so much.
I agree, she is very beautiful, however
it does seem she has a filter or special lighting
on her face. Either way, she looks great, and she
is so helpful.
I just want to publicly thank Kelly Hogan for being as absolutely genuine and sweet off-camera as she is on-camera. She really is the kindest person with a mission and a heart that deeply desires to help people. Kelly, you truly are a blessing to us all! We APPRECIATE you so very much! ❤
Agree! I just discovered Kelly via SBG podcast/vlog. Her cheerful enthusiasm is infectious. Such a gift.
She is a DOLL!!! I was SUPER blessed to discover her on Dr. Berry’s channel on the same day I really decided to give Carnivore a go-her joy has been so helpful!!! ❤❤
You both seem genuine and thoughtful, thanks for the tips. I would love to know how your mother made out. My mother’s health is how I ended up diet digging.
She's the reason I'm carnivore.
My signs of hyperthyroidism cleared up with a high fat carnivore lifestyle. I also lost 46 pounds, got off blood pressure meds, and lost eczema on my skin. I feel better at 65 than I did at 23. I have followed a mostly beef, butter, bacon and eggs for the last year. I can’t wait to see how I feel at my 2 year anniversary. I do sometimes have seafood, turkey and chicken. I had cake on my daughters and wife’s birthdays in June and December. I no longer have gum disease. I have traded the boredom of this simple whole foods diet, for the boredom of doctor’s offices, dentists, pharmacy lines and blood draws. I would much rather be bored with this lifestyle and have energy, alertness and general feel good vitality.
Congratulations to you. That is great news.
THIS is what I’m chasing!
How long to clear your ezcema?
Awesome….congrats and many healthy years to you!
My hubby has severe receding gums. Is that the kind of gum disease that carnivore cured for you?
This high fat is the bomb. Thank you Kelly for your high fat people interviews. Priceless.

awesome #FirstLast".. thanks for your thoughtfulness. Cheers and Blessings.
I took notes too, never thought to write down the times...smart! She did mention low stomach acid. I can't remember what she said to do about it, or does eating this way fix it on its own? Pretty sure I have low stomach acid.
@@patriciaeggleston6307 Take Betaine hydrochloride, it will help with meat digestion and lipase for fat digestion and absorption
How are you getting your fat? I struggle to get enough fat. Any suggestions??!
@@kerrieverett3232 On the most recent video on Steak and Butter Girl, the suggestion was to have a stick of butter. I prefer a package of cream cheese. Both are just under 100g of fat. A pound of 73/27 hamburger adds approximately another 100g. The total protein is under 100g.
This makes TOTAL SENSE to me!! When I was on Keto, I ate 2 6-8oz servings of meat per day, along with other things of course. My morning blood glucose was running around 130 to 160. I lowered my protein to 2 4oz servings per day, and my glucose came down to around 87 in the AM and around 67 in the PM. I FELT SO MUCH BETTER!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I LOVE your videos. There is not enough HELP for women in regards to nutrition. I am 60 years old. Have spent two DECADES unable to walk, dealing with spinal arthritis and autoimmune issues. I am 4 months into the Carnivore diet and my health is coming back. I do not have the daily constant pain anymore, I am walking, my hair is growing back, I do not have the awful chronic fatigue.....blah, blah, blah. Anyway, thanks again. Your videos are helping me recover! ps. I will NEVER go back to Western medicine.
👏 👍
I feel the same way dear.
Same Sis, I had cancer in 2005, last year I felt so bad I thought it was back.
6 weeks into carnivore and I feel like I’m back in my 20’s!! I’ll be 65 in a few months.
I was so sick I took early retirement. I just went into my old job to visit and NO ONE recognized me!!! I’ve only lost 12 pounds on the scale but my body composition is changing every week!
I am never going back!! Thank you for saving my life, Zero Carb people!!!❤
Same!!!
Oh how I wish this interview and the one with Amber had occurred earlier. 😢 I started carnivore with fasting and eating 4-5 pounds of meat on feasting days. Hormones tanked, stopped all fasting and introduced 2 to 3 sticks of butter a day but didn’t cut back on protein. I’ve been carnivore seven months and have put on almost 50 pounds in the last three months after I stopped all fasting. I did at least heal all discernible hormone issues, but boy oh boy, I cannot wait to lose weight. What a rocky journey this has been so far. These interviews of yours have arrived in my life better late than never. Thank you for always seeking to help those of us struggling in the carnivore community. ❤
Why would you eat that much?
Why are you feeling it necessary to be eating 4-5 pounds of meat a day?!? Based on the 20% fat mince I have in my fridge right now that's between 5000-6500 calories a day just from meat! And 400-500g of fat.
@@LeanneJuliette well, we all come from different metabolic issues, Leanne, and I definitely had leptin resistance, from my history of excessive yo-yo dieting and over exercising. When fasting, that hunger persisted. When I stopped fasting, and stuffed my body with nutrients, showed it we were safe, my hunger naturally went from 4-5lbs/day to 1.5-2lbs/day, over the course of 2.5months. Carnivore is supposed to be the cure all, but it isn’t instant. It doesn’t matter what I was “supposed” to eat, if I restricted, then carnivore would be just another restriction diet, and my starving leptin resistant body might have forced me off this healing path with bingeing. It’s been a trying journey, but I’ve learned more than most in my incessant quest for answers, and I thrive on a challenge.
I completely understand. No need to explain. This is a strategy that has worked for some, but not me. Now you’re approaching this with some experience and info behind you. I hope you keep at it, and find health and success with this way of eating.
I was really hungry when I first went carnivore. I was forced to stop eating plants, because I was getting violently ill after eating my daily lunch salad. I couldn’t eat plants without spending 4 hours on the toilet. So when I first started carnivore, I gained 26 lbs in 8 months. Then I started watching my food intake and lost the weight in 17 days.
I have been following Stephanie off and on for a while and what I like about her is she never changes her style no matter what the trend comes and goes. I upped my fat and lowered protein, eating throughout a day since August and feel great. It’s not like unicorn firecracker energy, it is STEADY long lasting energy throughout a day. I followed a lot of carnivore who promote fasting (mostly men), but now I focus you and Stephanie since I am 44, female! I sleep better, no waking up for bathroom trip anymore. My fasting BS is on 70s! Thank you Kelly for great interview and now I am going to listen one more time!!😆😆😆
"unicorn firecracker"🧨🎠energy might have been what we'd get in our 20's or 30's eating this way, yet we're smart enough to be realistic in our 40's & 50's(me)
For decades, I ate 5 or 6 tiny meals throughout the day; a couple oz protein, & a handful of greens or other veg~ virtually fat free. It worked for weight loss, but after so many yrs of fat starving my body, I now struggle to get enough in trying to eat once or twice a day- which is how often I'm hungry now. Since I'm also ~ post meno, I'm considering going back to the "grazing" way, despite all the negative slant out there. People have to find their own best fit, imho~ & that's more than okay!
No
I feel better on moderate protein and high fat too! My trainer kept pushing 90g+ protein per day for my small petite frame with insulin resistance. I’m glad I listened to my body and intuition instead. ❤
I've been on keto for a couple months now and something I noticed instantly was the nights I ate a lot of fat I woke up in the morning convinced I would be heavier and I was actually lighter and was able to fast the next day a lot longer
That was my experience, too. No weight gain. Who knew?!
Same. I have a GI illness and need rest days from solid food but some days instead no food fasting I have c8 MCT oil and butter blended in 2 or 3 hot drinks (coffee or green tea usually) and it works. I’ve even heated up my electrolyte and Ayer blended butter or ghee and felt better still giving my digestion lots of rest to work on healing.
What did you consume to add fats?
With high fat I can fast longer too, but I have done some mistake for sure, because my muscles were low on energy but I felt really happy. So I tried to get carbo again, and I am no longer fasting a lot because in the morning I want to eat, and I feel less happy than before
Two of my fav TH-camrs
Summary:
High fat carnivore (80% calories fat)
Small meals (~4oz meat)
Maybe add fish and magnesium
I love to keep things simple 😊
What's amazing is Stephanie was never fat, she just wanted to be healthy. Kelly's weight loss is amazing! She doesn't even have loose skin.
Stephanie is the real deal, I've followed her protocol for years and it got me into the best shape of my life :)
This is possibly the best video I have watched regarding macros in use. I've been vegan - now vegetarian - and seriously considering going carnivore after watching both this channel and steak and butter gal for some time now.
What Stephanie has to say really resonates with me, particularly as I'm approaching 60. I have come to realise fitness and wellbeing is not a vanity or body-image thing, but is essential for maintaining a positive outlook on life as we grow older.
I am so glad these Ladies provide such a forum to share their experiences and encourage others to achieve what should be considered a "normal" looking womanly physique.
Blessings
Yes, we need the bioavailable animal protein and fat for muscle building or muscle maintenance as we age. Crude protein in plants is not well absorbed.
You might as well try, but maybe ease into it by starting lowering carbs, upping fat and going into keto for a few weeks before carnivore or you'll probably give yourself the runs for a week like some people do by switching right away without the body prepared to digest that quantity of fat.
@@mikafoxx2717 thanks!
Hi! I agree. I’m ready to try this plan. I’ve been keto for 1.5 years with great improvements, but I often don’t fall asleep well at night. I’m eager to do high fat medium protein. It’s not surgery; if we want to switch, we can. We have freedom of choice. ❤
Just found you.... first time listening. You gals just saved me. Nailed my problem. I'm 54...low carb for almost 3 years now. I'm at my ideal body weight and A1C is 5.2. I am carnivore. But my morning fasting glucose is 130. I can't sleep all night. Low energy and no motivation....I am eating to much meat!! Going to eat more fat and little meat and get back to you. I will be checking my glucose in the mornings and report back.
Hi Kevin, have things improved?
how do you feel after the change?
So it's been a year. A lot has happened. My insomnia and increased blood sugars were caused by my statin Crestor. I stopped statins. Blood sugar came down and sleeping better. But that being said. Eating large amounts of protein at dinner still increases my morning blood sugars. Eating less protein and more vegetables at dinner made my morning Glucose levels lower. Large portions of beef for some reason raises my blood glucose levels. Finally, the big finding was...I learned about ApoB and Lipoprotein Fractional blood tests. I am a LDL Phenotype B which means I have way too many small dense LDL particles. So I'm eating more of a mediterranean diet now. More fiber and less fat....not zero fat. Just not eating the fat I was eating.
@@KevinSmith-4Liberty wow that must of been a shock for you ..statins are so toxic to humans.. your situation is eye opening for sure..
Stephanie is amazing and deserves more attention! Her and Dr. Georgia Ede were the first women I found when I started researching carnivore to treat my terrible mental health. She is a wealth of knowledge and following her advice I never felt better. High fat carnivore eliminated my depression, anxiety and suspected PMDD and GREATLY reduced the negative aspects of my ASD. I wish more people would treat their ASD with a carnivore diet, it's been such a godsend to feel calm and happy.
So high fat carnivore is not keto? I have pmdd. I'm desperately trying to get healed.
I started eating carnivore when I heard it alleviated symptoms of bipolar disorder. It wasn't until my depression and anxiety went away that I FINALLY figured out (in my 40's) that ASD is what I've been struggling with all my life. Halle-freakin-lujah!! 🙏
Agreed!!!! Zero carb Zen is real.
Yep, ASD, ADD, anxiety, etc all getting better for me on carnivore. When my daughter was diagnosed with ASD she agreed to eat steaks and keto ice cream, her symptoms improved dramatically. She went back to regular eating and 😭
@@melissahood2960 my kid is all about building muscle right now. He has ADHD and temper issue. I'm telling him to eat carnivore for muscle. Two birds one stone.
I'm so glad and relieved that I found this video! I've been stressing that I wasn't getting enough protein a day because I was around 60-70 grams, but according to even the lower estimates I should be well over 100 grams. I just could not eat that much protein without feeling nauseous, especially since I was trying to keep my fat intake high (over 150) and the fat kills my hunger completely. It makes me feel so much better to know it's ok to only be in the 60-70 gram range for protein. Thank you to both of you!
Yes, exactly the same situation I am experiencing this first week on high fat carnivore!! I’ve kept a daily food journal this week so I would ensure I stayed on the ‘recommended’ macros for my gender, age height, weight and sedentary lifestyle: 1,800 calories, 140 grams protein and 170 grams fat. And oh my gosh, I’ve felt stuffed and nauseated at/after dinner the past 3 straight days. I’ve been fasting today because I wanted to recalculate and restart my carnivore journey with high fat, MODERATE protein. With this video full of new info and alternatives-so relieved, happy!-I’m going to shift my daily protein goal to 75-80 and shoot for 30-40% higher fat to protein ratio. ✅
So needed to hear this. Diabetic with recent A1C of 5.7. Doing good clean keto. Been transitioning to carnivore but fasting # 100 to 120. I really don't like eating so much meat. Loved that she said she eats a little every 2 or 3 hours which is what I like to do. I'm 68 and just need to be gentle with my body. Glad I tried carnivore, but im going back to less protein. Feel great, aches and pains gone, brain fog gone, but could sleep better and need to be less constipated.
Hi. I keep reading/seeing higher fat relieves constipation. Let’s try this. 🤠
I have been "Keto" for 10 years, the last three of those have been carnivore. The first 2yrs of C, I had gained 30+ lbs trying to eat so much meat (fatty ribeye's) per day. I went back to Stephanie's recommendations and feel the best that I have. I think im starting to lose weight. Clothes fit better and I get compliments everyday, but I try and stay off of the scales for mental sanity :) I love you two!!! Yes, High Protein DOES NOT work for everyone! I learned the hard way.
Thanks for sharing. Whats a typical day of eating look like for you? I am newer to carnivore, one month in and think high protein makes me feel bad too
Honestly this video couldn't have come at a better time for me. I've been feeling pretty tired on carnivore and hard to get through my workouts and now I'm sure it had a lot to do with too much protein and too little fat. Her advice has been so helpful and gives me hope going forward 😊
I’ve had a feeling of dropped blood sugar and hunger after my workouts lately which if I eat early it throws off my illness recovery schedule. I hope as I lower protein and increase fat I will see this after workout feeling resolve. I used to never have this, ketones would be sufficient and my strength training would be strong. I’ve lost energy along the way with too much protein that my body can use apparently . Off to get fattier beef tomorrow, pork belly, and fat trimmings. I love butter but too much congests my sluggish lymphatics then my legs puff.
Don't forget to add electrolytes, magnesium, potassium NOT POTASSIUM. CHLORIDE which is in many bought Electrolyte drinks.
Stephanie recommends eating Avocados, and MEAT. Broth for natural Potassium.

I’m having the same issue. This video had great information in it.
@@judywitthoft1122Omgosh I got a horrible leg cramp that woke me up at 4am this morning. Maybe I need to add back electrolytes. I stopped taking them for two days.
Excellent info. I think the high fat of keto helped me lose the majority of my weight. But carnivore helped me end my binging and healed many other issues. This is the best of both worlds and makes so much sense to me. ❤❤
Love it

Okay. Where to start?! I LOVE STEPHANIE! She is so balanced in her outlook and 55 years old; WHAT?!!! I had just asked the protein amount question in Keto AF on FB this week and wasn't really convinced by the answer that it didn't matter as far as age, etc. I am 65, female, with an autoimmune challenge (MS diagnosed 30 years ago). I've been carnivore for 2 years and have noticed in the last few months that high protein is causing my glucose to be off balance. I was afraid of too much fat as I kept having diarrhea and thought it was the fat. So this week, I started eating my fat first and then a bit smaller amounts of protein. Diarrhea GONE. Whoa. Thank you, as always, Kelly Hogan, for bringing alternative views to our attention; so freaking helpful. We love you.
How do u eat fats with low protein??
I would love to know this to. How to start?
Yes can u give us an example please? Ty
@@vanamarkarian chuncks of butter or other fat on your plate with the protein
Pork belly. Butter. Bacon. Cheese (although I don't do cheese as it bothers my gut). Just eat animal fat with some protein.
Stephanie and I spoke together on a show with Bart Kay. We are very much on the same page here. I have been using 60-75g of protein for my clients for years and have taken a lot of slack for it from much of the community. It works. I myself stick to 90-120g and have added 50lbs of muscle in the last 10 years. So many try and tell me this is impossible. Look at Stephanie and look at me. We are both very well defined and have lots of lean mass using these amounts.
Do you work out?
Im so confused because I just read Doctor Gabrielle Lyon's book and she states high fat is not what she recommends and she recommends 1g of protein per body weight or goal weight. I do however feel more clarity on higher fats, moderate protein. I find it hard to even reach 100g of protein a day.
@CubitaLola, hehe....I just make it to 55g a day...
This makes so much sense for my problems with insulin resistance and carnivore. Thank you ladies!
Yes I was thinking why am I still feeling bad, everyone else is just eating meat and feeling great? But having insulin resistance does mean maybe simple isn't that simple I'm finally learning this.
"We don't have to agree on everything in order to learn from each other"~amen, Amen, & AMEN!!! This was a fine, educational- & rather liberating, actually~ example of that very premise Kelly🌼 Thanks to the both of you for all that you offer this community of health seekers. Really awesome conversation all around. Samantha in AZ
Thank you thank you thank you Kelly, for inviting this incredible woman onto your show. I feel SO MUCH relief after hearing this interview and the one previous with Amber O'Hearn ... I feel like I finally have the support I need to recover my health. Huge love to you!!
Finally, I've been trying for three years and was about to give up. This was my key to healing, much appreciated! This was yours and Stephanie's best video for me.
I over 2 years carnivore and hoping that Increasing fat and lowering protein will make the difference for Me Too!!! Good luck
@@laurawhy8813 did it work for you?
This is so awesome and fun to listen to. I recently blew out my MCL and chose to only eat Carnivore (I’ve been ketovore) to see if it would heal quickly. Within 4 days I was walking normal and feeling amazing. I wasn’t doing jumping jacks - but there is no way I should be walking around without a limp! Go to today’s lunch of Avocado and protein shake - and suddenly I am in huge pain and limping around. Coincidence? I think not. This may be the push (smack in the head) I need to go all in for carnivore.
Excellent, excellent video. I'm one of those who has gained from Stephanie's content after I became pre-diabetic on higher protein carnivore. My A1c has gone from 5.8 to 5.3 in 6 weeks after reducing the protein and upping the fat.
Same here !
Awesome! I will be looking forward to the same improvements!!! 🤞🏻
Reminder that A1c on carnivore often goes up because blood cells have a longer lifetime so the blood sugar correlation falls apart compared to those that use a continuous glucose monitor for average - you might not be as high blood sugar as you think.
you can clarify the butter by melting it at low heat and just skim the clear liquid butter oil on top which is most of the butter, and throw away the white milk liquid that collects at the bottom, which is very little. and you can store the clarified butter outside at room temperature for a year, and it doesn't go rancid.
Stephanie has a gift for explaining things simplistically! Grateful for her dedication to loving people enough to take her time to help them with her incredible knowledge! And thank you to you Kelly for your willingness to think outside the carnivore box. I know that must be challenging because of your success but it’s much appreciated❤
This was the conversation we needed! So happy to hear you talk to Stephanie! Both Stephanie Person and Amber O'Hearn have true depth of knowledge on these topics. They know what they are talking about. Insulin resistance and metabolic health is key. High fat is key. Eat only the amount of protein that your body can utilize. No fasting. Eat throughout the day.
This was so helpful to me. I was doing carnivore for 3 weeks, but I am insulin resistant and I was so tired and now I know why. Thank you for this information. I'm going to get back on carnivore.
Hi, I just watched this podcast. Like you mentioned here, I have been on carnivore for 3 weeks and have not had any results. Quite discouraging. Did you change to a higher fat lower protein diet? And did you see improvements? What were your results? Also, what does your daily food intake look like? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Stephanie is so underrated it’s baffling🤔I first heard about keto on TH-cam through her. I turned my eating around and started to pursue information on keto and the detriment of sugar and carbs. I’m carnivore today but thanks to Stephanie and her Keto channel back when it was all men high five-in steaks and carbs cycling donuts. ❤❤❤
I've been been following her probably since like 2015 when I first tried keto. She is awesome, but I think her "strictness" and telling people to not drink coffee turns some people away. The fact she is 55 and has been doing this for at least 10 years shows it works.
Some people find her abrasive. I remember way back when she went on Leanne Vogel's podcast and Leanne did a disclaimer before the podcast because she didn't want anyone to get offended. I thought it was funny - I like Stephanie's style!
THANK YOU ❣️ so much for wanting to share what's worked for you and also different things as well...I have dieted my whole life...tried everything...now I'm 47, peri menopausal to now pre menopausal nothing has worked. My Dr.s have said "oh it's normal for a woman your age" WHY?? Why is this normal??...finally no sugar has changed my life, trying healthy keto but realized the 75% of my plate can't be vegetables. I was getting too much protein my kidneys started to hurt and I have a bag under my one eye...from my kidney! Trying desperately to figure this out because I'm running out of time to heal before I'm diabetic. Your videos of how protein can turn to sugar 🤯...I was mind blown! That's it! So making changes again but this time I know I'm on the right path!! Thank you again Kelly & Friends for actually helping people, especially wemon my age! It's not normal to have hairloss, numb feet and hands, can barely walk, look & feel old at 47...not normal! Thank you❣️ Thank you❣️ Thank you ❣️
Absolute gold. Stephanie is clearly very experienced in getting real world results! Thank you Kelly for having such a great guest on.
Kelly…thank you for always always prefacing every “different” way of carnivore/keto with every person is different. I am so used to those hard core carnivore/keto experts insisting that their way is the only way. By listening to my body more intuitively I am finding my way step by step. I have learned so much listening to your videos so thank you again for presenting things simply and honestly. Love you!!
I was eating carnivore but wasn't even aware that my fat intake was so low. No carbs, no fat, no access to fays because the insuline spike caused by eating meat my poor body was swetting like a pig trying to convert proteins into fuel. I had to change my t-shirts at the middle of the night. At least 2 rounds to pee. During the day I was so tired I was like a walking zombie. My third day of high fat carnivore and I can not believe how everything just clicked. I feel like I finally found the key to heavens. Everything feels right. I eat 150-200 gr lamb tail fat which is amazing. Soft and it melts like butter. I did't try rendred fats yet. And for better digestion I have a tea spoon of vinegar.
So that's why I was sweating so much! And I had the hair loss. Not enough fat! Do you get the lamb tail just at the grocery store?
How do you cook your lamb tail fat?
I just about laid an egg when she said she was 55. And I’m a dude so I don’t have any eggs. Her skin is 20 years younger than she looks. Both of you look fantastic! My own experience has been a struggle because of back pain and hypochloridia. So everything that she had to say is making a lot of sense. I experience super gassy tightness in my chest because I don’t seem to be digesting properly But only one I eat only meat. I will try increasing my fat ratio.
Lay me a dozen too please 😂
@@daleval2182 🤣
Thank you both SO much for this interview. I'm mid-50s, about 3 years post-menopause, hormones and blood sugar out of whack, got about 60 pounds to lose. So in one corner, you have Dr. Elizabeth Bright, who emphasizes an 80:20 fat to protein ratio and how vital that is to balancing hormones; and in the other corner, several other doctors prominent on TH-cam advocating the opposite - "Oh no! Menopausal women need protein, protein, and more protein! You're losing muscle mass every minute!" It's been incredibly confusing to know how the heck to proceed. Stephanie explains the nuances, fills in the gaps and clears up the confusion for me. (Get the hormones and blood sugar fixed first with high fat, THEN look at increasing protein if appropriate.)
I have followed Steph for about 7 or 8 years now and girl is aging backwards! She looks younger than when I first started watching her. She keeps it real and is honest about her own journey, sharing her own bumps along the road with diet etc.
This was sooo helpful. I've been watching you both for a while and I love Stephanie's videos, but it's been a little hard piecing everything together. There's usually a little nugget in every video that's awesome information. This really helped my understanding hearing it all together in one video. Thank you, Kelly! You're amazing. You've helped me a lot. ❤️
I feel like this is the video I needed to see today! I did keto for a while in 2017 and had great success until I felt like I could "treat" myself with junk. Once I fell off that wagon, it took me years to even attempt to try again, but I jumped into carnivore instead. I could never make it stick and this video brought up some valid points. I'm about to deep dive all of Stephanie's socials. 😁
Thank you for this video, Kelly. You're one of my top health mentors because you are always open to talking to others who have taken different paths but have arrived at the same destination of optimal health. You're an eternal student, as am I. ♥
This is something I've suspected for a long time. I had been doing keto years ago & my husband had bariatric surgery. To be supportive of him, I followed the pre & post-op diet with him. I GAINED weight! My theory was that it was due to the higher amount of protein than what I had been consuming on keto. Makes perfect sense!
Carnivore made my blood sugar and insulin go up. It did! I'm going to try what Stephanie is talking about.
Kelly thank you for sharing Stephanie. Carnivore for 2 yrs. with issues sleeping , hair loss. I'm ready to heal!
Stephanie Looks absolutely awesome.
I love Stephanie.. her message is spot on and easy to understand. Thanks for this interview.
I've been waiting for this interview to be published, it's the best. I'm currently binge watching all of @stephanie Keto person videos. I've been High fat Zero Carb for a long time. I'm learning so much more from Stephanie that I didn't know. I love the reasoning behind lower protein. I need high fat lower protein for my health issues. I love the energy that comes from eating fat. I look forward to learning more.
Previously I have felt out of step in the 'Carnivore' online presence.With emphasis on only very large meals. Or fasting. Thank you @myzerocarblife for always zeroing in on health in such a gracious manner. I'm glad our journey has intertwined.
Outstanding and very inspirational! I’ve got just three weeks on carnivore and I am loving it! The best thing about carnivore is you’re not as hungry as in Keto and much faster results! I couldn’t lose anymore weight on regular Keto. I am so grateful that there is something else. I’ve already reversed a fatty liver, fatty liver and pancreas and seventy pounds pounds later, now this is a for a healthy lifestyle. This two and a half journey has been a lot of fun and educational! Thank you for the great podcast!
Loved it! Real talk from two who have also 1- been in the Keto/ Carnivore space for many years and 2- don’t just go the way the wind blows with some of the ridiculous recommendations that are out there. I also love that you discussed the underlying blocking factors such as hormone and gut issues that need to be addressed for long term results. This is not discussed enough. Food first always and test don’t guess 👍🏼
Thank you for this interview with Stephanie & its good to hear you have tried it too. I am soon to be 73 and switched to Carnivore this year after having good success on keto the year before. But ever since, my BG has gone up after being below 100 before and ketones went way down. Now I know its because I am not utilizing all the protein I have been eating. Also my sleep problems returned as did the struggle with snacking. I am definitely going to try her method and see how I do - Thanks! We are not men...my biggest struggle has been how to get more fat into my diet w/o the extra protein. Voila - I found pork belly at Wild Fork Foods (very reasonable prices too).
Edit: Tried a pork belly recipe I found and ate it last night and my BG dropped that extra 30 pts I have been getting since starting carnivore, literally overnight! And my ketones were over 1.0 this morning for the 1st time all year. Amazingly simple and I only had to add a little extra butter (so far) to get things moving again.
Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🙏🙏. As I menopausal woman THIS was the information I needed!!! Both of you are amazing women 🤗🤗🤗💞🌼
Agreed
Stephanie, I started keto for the same reason as you! My husband had a GBM and I believe it helped him for a long time, even though he has passed. I have since learned so much about keto that is amazing and I want to live my best life possible. I'm a mostly carnivore and totally keto. It's been great. We all have to find what works for us, don't we? Wonderful video filled with amazing advice! Thanks ladies!
I'm 7 minutes in...and she said 55???!!! WOW!!! I've been eating ghee and making tallow cream for the face and even using duck fat for my skin and I see GREAT results!! But I am going to be going back and forth between keto and carnivore till I can be carnivore completely!!
I love Stephanie, she is just in inspiration, I’m level 38 in life and when I grow up I want to be like her.😀
Absolutely loved this video. 2 of my most viewed keto carnivore peeps in 1 video. So informative and learned more info than MOST doctors share and inform us of. Keep it up! Can't wait for an update from both of you again soon. (Coffee could be a subject) 😆
I'm always pushing up your view count, Kelly - I usually listen to your guests two or three times, just to imprint their knowledge and wisdom. I want to look and feel the way Stephanie does when I'm 55!
Whaaaaaat?! Stephanie is my favorite hard-core no excuses keto person.
Awesome interview. I am going to up the fat in my diet and hope it ups my ketones and makes me feel better. I feel good but I need improvement. You have been such a warrior in my life and I love the guys but as a woman I find that you get me so much better! Thank you and love you! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Great video! Stephanie speaks to my Virgo soul with how she really dives deep on these topics. Been watching her videos over the summer and high fat is definitely the way to go for me.
Stephanie has chilled out so much over the last 8-10 years! She’s always been awesome, but now she’s calm and awesome. lol
This just might be my key story after all my trials. Thanks so much. Enjoy your holidays. Thank you thank you and 😊
Exactly the information I've been looking for. I'm going to make the change to more fat less protein. I've lost weight but still haven't gotten my A1c to where I want it(normal). Thank you for bringing Stephanie to your channel. The last 4 years have been with keto/carnivore have been a blessing and now more information. 73, Mike
You really are so open and consider everything you hear! Not everyone is the same. I'm definitely going to try this higher fat thing. I have hypothyroidism and my hormones are just not going back into place even though I am mostly carnivore. Thank you for the video and definitely going to subscribe to her TH-cam. You both are so beautiful!
Great interview. I felt like Stephanie was describing me EXACTLY. I feel like I am on the precipice of getting things dialed in. Thank you Kelly and Stephanie.
Much of what Stephanie about protein and blood sugar is true for me. I'm a type 2 diabetic, bordering on remission. Going full carnivore raised my blood sugar by 10-20 points, US measures. Was told to just increase fat, which I did but still had higher blood sugar and gained weight. Kelly suggested cutting protein if I increase fat. I'm lowering my protein but I'm feeling hungry. My fat is butter so I need an alternative. My blood sugar is coming g down slowly, for my previous reading, but it's still over 100 consistently. God this is tough. I now know, high protein raises my blood sugar.
Sorry it has been so tough but you are worth it don't give up!!
Love Stephanie. She is honest and tells you what works whether someone likes it or not. Having said that eating less protein is extremely difficult especially in the beginning.
Thank you Kelly!
Stephanie is an absolute gorgeous and awesome badass! She clearly is worth listening to. Even if we don't necessarily adopt any plant foods, the information that she shared is valuable to carnivores. Glad you had her on!
Wow! Stephanie and Kelly you both look amazing. I'm transitioning to carnivore from keto. It's a challenge. I will incorporate some of these tips going forward. My goals are to reduce inflammation, build muscle and bone density, and to just be healthy. Thank you for sharing.
Hey there Kelly & Stephanie!
I’ve worked with Stephanie in the past. She’s kind and knows her stuff. She’s really awesome. I had a hard time with the smaller protein portions (I’m a volume eater because of my big salad days) but it definitely helps lower the blood glucose. I’ve been trying this again. My biggest issue is that I still feel hungry after the first meal. Maybe I should eat some fat first thing in the am with a little protein to help curb my hunger. Im just a volume eater and that’s something I have to get used to. I also think it’s my leptin being so low and it doesn’t register with me that I’m full until 45 minutes later.
i thought the same until i bought fattier cuts of meat (like beef short ribs and marrow)! the fullness hit me like a BRICK when I eat these, whereas i can fnish a 20 oz sirloin and still be hungry
This answered many of my questions and put me more at ease about additional changes I’ve been considering. BG was always 60s-70s with great ketones too (never diabetic) when keto for 6 years. Tested again for first time after strict ZIOH carnivore for 3 years and while ketones are good, BG is high! Waking in high 80s most days. Doing Bruno’s challenge one month now. Recently upped fat to 200 g and have been thinking if I drop my protein even more I’d be compromising muscle protein synthesis but this discussion answered that nicely for me. Thank you!!
I’m not arguing for one way of eating vs another, but you should eat which way you feel best, high 80s fasting glucose is definitely not a problem
Mind sharing an easy way to think of how much fat is 200grams? What does that even look like, when I can't do dairy?
@@dianavp9054 if you are trying to keep it carnivore then 1.5lbs of 80/20 ground beef and a pound of bacon. If you are trying to go for high fat and moderate protein carnivore i have found it difficult to get enough fat without dairy but getting special grinds like 70/30 ground beef or getting fat trimmings from a butcher can help, cuts like short ribs, ox tail, or pork belly are really fatty as well.
I've been eating a carnivore diet for a little over two years. I'm not overweight but have a little to much body fat. Nothing that I tried to do ever worked until I watched a couple of Stephanie"s videos. I weighed myself yesterday morning and made a not of my weight and body fat percentage. I ate very small amounts of protein through out the day along with eating more fat (butter) than I've ever eating before. I weighed myself again this morning and in doing this just one day I lost a pound and also saw a reduction in my body fat percentage. I went out today and bought a pair of jeans one size smaller than what I normally wear and I'm calling them my goal pants. I'm excited and look forward to the changes that I expect to see. Thanks Stephanie and Kelly!
This is great! The most helpful interview I've listened to and watched in a long, long time. Thanks for having her on and for allowing her to share her vast knowledge!
l just finished my first week of carnivore & have watched MANY of your videos. l have found them so very helpful & l just love your genuine & positive communication style. Thank you! l look forward to watching more as l continue to learn this diet.
I really want her as a steak and butter gang guest speaker! Me as a female weight lifter, I have so many questions! She is so knowledgeable!!! Love this video!!
This is an eye opening video. One of the main reasons I have gone on carnivore is because of severe tinnitus. I always noticed throughout the years that if I had a high sugar intake, it would make my head spin and get very severe about 30 minutes to an hour after my intake of sugar and it would actually affect my hearing. I am a fitness and dance instructor and if I did a class after eating a considerable amount of sugar, I could hardly hear my students when they spoke to me. I am thinking that I may be insulin resistant. I have been doing carnivore for eight months and I’m still experiencing tiredness in the middle or late afternoon . And I have been told that high protein (meat) turns into sugar. I am going to try to decrease the meat and increase the fat. This makes a lot of sense to me. Thank you for this insightful video.
This was great. 3months in and making adjustments. Feeling better every day at age 58.
I'm insulin resistant and have been on Omeprazole for 10 years. Bad acid reflux has gotten slightly better on carnivore. This answered a lot of questions for me. Thank you
Dividing the protein into smaller meals and adding fat two weeks ago after two years carnivore and it absolutely lowered the blood sugar almost immediately and kick started the fat loss.
That's wonderful!!! Could you PLEASE give us an exact description of a sample day of eating? God bless.
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 I was one eating 2 lbs of meat in one meal for 1.5 years. Last two weeks been eating a 6 eggs and sausage in the morning and about three hours later about 6 ounces of steak, then around 1-2pm another 6-8 ounces of beef. I have about 1/2 stick of butter each meal and then usually eat another 1/4-1/2 stick around 7-8pm. Still working on it and am going to try to work in the animal fat instead of the butter, just have figured out what yet, prob pork as they talked about.
I stayed exactly the same weight for 1.5 years carnivore and still have higher blood sugars than I want, though close to normal - 95-120 in that range. As soon as I added the fat, the sugar started coming down, was in low 80's two days ago. Fat from belly also started coming off very noticeably with the first week. My fasting insulin is down to 8, no idea where I started at, but it was 12 six months ago, so I am sure that I am not completely fat adapted yet either.
Pretty sure I was undereating energy, I decided that a couple of months ago, but was trying to figure out what I needed to tweak. I do not work out other than walking twice a day and pushups every 2-3 days, but I do a lot of physical work in the sun all day long, most days.
So close to healed after years of diabetes, so ready to get there!
Two brilliant, thoughtful, compassionate people! Great give and take, tons of new ideas and insight!
I used to follow Stephanie when I first started keto. And she has some valid points. But she has never been a food addict, fat or even overweight.
Also, Dr Ken Berry (and many others in this space) has explained very nicely how gluconeogenesis is need based. Demand driven. Extra protein doesn’t just convert into sugar unless you need it.
Finally someone talked about this. I guess there will always be disagreements lol
And why would one need it? So confused about all this
@@CG-mj8tk The body can run from either glucose or ketones. If your body goes into gluconeogenesis, that means the body isn’t getting enough fuel, so it’s making glucose from protein. The body will find a way to make fuel to run itself. That’s why Steph says to eat 80% fat in your diet-that’s the ketogenic diet. Eat enough fat so that your body runs on fat and not glucose.
@@toscadonna oh my goodness ty so much for explaining that so simply for me!!! Makes perfect sense. It finally clicked. Basically I’ve been underrating fats. And now I realize I have. Only around 100 grams.
Ty so much!!!
@@CG-mj8tk how in the world do you even measure grams of fat? Are you putting it on the scale?
Great video showing us that we are all different and there are many cards in our deck of cards. People should NOT follow someone's plan blindly. Find out if it works. If not? Move on!
This was so comforting for me. I had been listening to what my body was asking for and watching how I responded to it, but intellectually was having difficulty being ok with the fat to protein ratio. All that to say this was amazing confirmation! Thank you ❤️
Oh man Kelly I am so grateful for you and your openness, for connecting with other people who are also on this healthier way and have all sorts of ideas I am personally learning from. I really really appreciate you. God bless
I tried that low of protein and didn’t feel good. .7-.8 g/lb works best for optimal energy and sleep for me. But she’s a smart cookie and I appreciate her content.
Kelly, the ongoing outside narrative in the subtitles is hilarious I just love you great video 🎉🎉🎉
None of us got issues weight to depression overnight, so for me it's been trial and error. Beef, eggs, bacon and butter work best for me. I don't like complicated or micro issues. Keep up your awesome, uplifting videos Kelly. You are wonderful! Being genuine is much appreciated by me.
Kelly, your channel is my very favorite carnivore and low carb channel. Thank you for each and every carnivore video you post.
My two favorite gurus!!! Loves this!!! Kelly got me excited to try carnivore after getting back to Keto! But Stephanie has really changed how I look at fats and protein!
Still trying to get my gallbladder up to eat more fats but it’s getting there!
Thank you ladies!!! More videos together!!
This was SO HELPFUL, cannot thank you both enough!
I learned this the hard way doing the HCG diet back in the day. For stalls we were supposed to do a protein day. I always gained 2 lbs. Then I head about "fat fasts" and those works! Then I discovered I feel better on 80 percent fat all the time. Weight drops, sleep better, intense body pain from fibromyalgia is cut in half. Now to stick with it long term.
This video has been so helpful. I am struggling to eat - switching from keto to carnivore (currently on Day 9) has completely eliminated ALL of my cravings, including my appetite. I am having to force myself to eat because I am just not hungry anymore. I mean, what is going on??? Was only doing OMAD but I will try to do 3 small meals and be heavier on the fat now. Kelly and Dr Berry have been my go-tos for info and inspiration. Thank you, Kelly!
Thank you, kelly! I have been struggling with losing weight and energy on carnivore. This is the key for me high fat. I knew this on keto but going to carnivore I tried to eat more and more protein and not really focus on fat. High fat is working great for me.
Same here. I have to eat an insane amount of fat. But I like it.
I have not gotten in to the fat trimmings much yet I see people eating them raw I wish I could. I'm just doing butter, ghee, egg yolks and some cheese. It can be challenging to get all that fat sometimes. But I do feel awesome.
@@jebejaray7463 I've been having the same problems as you --- struggling to lose weight and low energy. Could you please tell what you eat in a typical day, to serve as a guideline?? Glad you've found success!!
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 My normal day is I have a coffee with 2 tbsp of butter or ghee, salt blended up. For lunch I have bone broth with butter, a small steak or burger patty with added butter and sometimes cheese, for dinner I have whatever meat sounds good I just make sure that I add lots of fat. At work I'll take a chunk of butter and just eat that. I'll have bacon dipped in cream cheese for a quick lunch. I eat dairy so that helps bump up the fat. I am not fasting right now I just eat my first meal when I'm hungry. I feel like that is helping with my energy. Today for dinner I made egg yolk waffles and a sasandwich with turkey meat and cheese on. I hope that helps
@@jebejaray7463 thanks for sharing !! How many grams of fat do you try to eat a day?
Watched her years ago, seems to have a calmer spirit ❤❤
Thanks, Kelly! Just got metabolic panel and glucose was over 100 and I’ve been carnivorous for over four years and lately have packed on belly fat!!! Am definitely giving this a whirl.
If that's based on A1c, you do have to consider that often a continous glucose monitor shows that the blood cells must live longer on carnivore so the formula falls apart and blood sugar correlation isn't accurate, but if that was fasting glucose then you're definitely getting the dawn effect and need to change something.
Oh wow, great interview. This woman is my age and I look like her grandmother. I feel motivated to be young and beautiful again energy and no inflammation. Thanks Stephanie.
