Been Keto for over 2 years and down over 110lbs. Went on Carnivore about 3 months ago and I feel AMAZING. Lost more but The mental clarity has increased and skin has been clearer. Carnivore is Amazing.
I'm sorry to point this out, but your background music is so loud, it's hard to hear you. It's totally unnecessary. Your voice is pleasant to listen to without the irritating background music. Please don't do that in your videos. Thanks. Always love your content.
I agree about the background music. I don’t know why this is such a trend to put music even in the background of teaching. it is not necessary. Is there a mindset that we have to be entertained or we will lose interest?! Come on now let’s get away from this soft living! We don’t have to be entertained like little children. If I click on a video that can teach me something I do not want the distraction of background music, please. Good information but the music is a detriment. And I’m a lover of music. ❤
I like her content as well but the music is distracting. I’ve stopped watching so many videos due to this issue. It would be nice if the music was faint or better yet no music at all.
Mayra, I am 80 years old this month (Jan 2025). I have been doing Carnivore to help maintain good health for the last two months. I have only lost 4 or 5 pounds but definitely feel the difference in how my clothes fit. I have read that when you are healing your body, you may not see much weight loss at all for awhile. When you are building muscle while burning fat as one does on Carnivore, you will not see much, if any, weight loss. I'm holding to this plan to rebuild muscle (particularly important for women as they age) and repair age-related issues. Also, hopefully, to heal thyroid issues of over 40 years. Much like you, I do a bit of "dirty carnivore". I've watched you off and on for years, am subscribed, and love your style. I'll be watching how things go with this new approach for both of us. It's great to have someone share their approach when it mirrors one's own!!
I’ve been carnivore for about 4 months. I’m down just over 50lb and don’t have cravings! I eat twice a day and, if I end up having a cheat day, I fast for 48 hours after to get back on track. It’s the only “diet” that has ever worked for me. I’ve been overweight since middle school and I’m 47 now so this is amazing ❤️
@ I usually eat 3 soft boiled eggs with some cottage cheese around 2pm…for dinner at 5, I eat 3 scrambled eggs and 2 1/4lb hamburger patties with salt. Sometimes I’ll add a slice of cheese. I know it sounds boring lol but that’s what I crave now!
“Food can be more important than exercise” This is so true. Lost over a hundred pounds on Keto in 9 months. No more diabetes. Then I started hitting the gym. 15 minutes on the treadmill walking and about 20 minutes of weightlifting. Weekends off. Been almost four years now.
I lost on low carb and maintaining on a mostly carnivore. I found my niche and it's amazing. It takes a little time to figure what works for you...but that sweet spot is spectacular 🎉
Yay, I’m a big fan of your videos and I was hoping you would cover this. The benefits of carnivore are crazy. The peace and clarity to beyond, and once you see how great you feel, there’s no going back.
Exercise is not just for weight loss. Muscle building is very important especially as we get older. As you age exercise is good for your joints and helps them stay pliable and flexible. I wish people would stop saying you can reach your goal without exercise, of course you can. Are you physically healthy? You can loose weight and be too weak to pick up a 2lb dumbbell.
Omg yes I tried losing weight without exercise this time around but I look so flabby and just a smaller version of my fat self. Lol exercise helps you look so good
Great info. I am doing carnivore this month and so far I really love it. I have been keto for 6 years and over the last 2 years I have gotten too relaxed and eaten “bites” of sweets, chips etc and slowly about 15 pounds creeped back on, so decided to go back to the basics and day 6 in, I already feel so much better. Love your videos!
Breakfast recipe idea: melt butter, grate a little zucchini, crack two eggs in, salt, two tablespoons of ricotta. Stir fry it up. Bacon side. This has been my go-to this winter! So yum.
What boards? I can't find the link you mentioned. Sounds like a great idea to zazz up things. I've been carnivore for 5 months. I feel AMAZING🎉 No cravings. Anxiety gone. Insulin is stable. Make sure you get your fat in. ❤
Seasons change and so do we and it's always highly recomended in all areas of our lives that we re-evaluate what is working or not working, or needs to be tweaked, or needs to be kicked up a notch, it's good to be in tuned with our bodies and listen to what it's telling us that we need.
I struggled in the past with sugar addiction and blood sugar drops!!! I have a hernia so I get full quick. Carnivore cured my indigestion, gas and painful gut. When I eat it’s eggs chicken burger steak. At 57 joint pain goes away. I have tons of energy. In the past I struggled with low energy also. It’s a great way to find out what your optimal diet is. Thank you
Cool! Congratulations!! Proud of you!! Thank you for telling the world about this! What you're describing "loosey goosey version of carnivore" is called ketovore, coined term by Neisha, Dr. Ken Berry's wife who still eats onion, garlic, ketchup, guacamole, etc like you. Carnivore ish is fine but I think that's a common term for it now. Or, at least, I've heard it a lot. Meat-based keto is another, but I've heard ketovore a lot, and carnivoreish, yeah. Way to go!! It sounds like it's really working for you!! Personally I'm so glad I found out about the carnivore diet. I have been on it for 15 months! Most recently I switched to a specific , more strategic version called "no plant gaps diet" which is a more strategic version described in the amazing, famous book "gut and physiology syndrome" by Dr. Natasha Campbell Mcbride. Basically she says the change is more meat stock, preparing it to be in a specific way: raw & meaty bones, not cooked leftover bones.. short time, not a long time... ex. 1 lb chicken drumsticks for 1.5 hours, or brisket/chuck roast/tritium roast and beef bones for 5 hours. It's done when the stuff can be ripped off the bones and the meat can be teared. big bonus here: take the stuff you don't want to eat like skin, bone marrow, or jiggly bits stuck to the bones.. take that stuff off and put it in a blender. Puree it and strain it back in. OMG 5-6 cups of this per day and you'll be able to feel how dramatically better you feel. For me, I can feel my skin tightened when I wake up, and better sleep. For someone else it might be mood stability and peace and joy, or concentration benefits. Delicious and worth it!! It makes it creamy, so good! Salt, black peppercorns and lemon/vinegar help. If you want vegetables or spices, you do you! Add a few veggies, sure! I do mine plain and it's fine. The drumsticks turn out great every time.
I'm about 70 pounds down now. 50 pounds to go. I lost about 10 pounds during the holidays. I would've done better without the holiday temptation. Over all, I think I did well.
This is what’s wrong with diet culture. You did amazing and ate foods you enjoy. This is maintainable weight loss. Extreme fad diets lead to binge eating and failed weightloss over and over.
My oldest some has been doing the carnivore and has lost over 50 pounds. He had said his overall feeling is much better and not just from the weight loss
For 6 weeks before the holidays I did a mix of keto/carnivore/fasting and I lost 25lbs and 4% body fat, ( I didn't workout either during those 6) I stopped for the holidays and my birthday month (December). I gained about 10lbs back because I was doing low carb/high protein but I had more cheat meals than normal because everyone spoiling me for my birthday, but I started back on track this week and started with keto/carnivore and ill work in fasting starting in February =) I lost almost 250lbs in 9 years naturally just doing high protein/low carb and having my cheat meals and dealing with 2 cancer scares and wrestling injuries over the years, but my doctor recommended keto/carnivore/fasting to get the last of my weight off and when all said and done i will have lost over 300lbs naturally =) Thanks for your videos they inspired me to make my own, always great knowing what you went through and what to expect in my journey, again thank you!
I am so excited for you! I started Carnivore Oct. 10 2024 it’ll be 3 months Jan. 10 and I’ve lost 25 lbs. I have so much energy and my body aches are gone!
@@lindaford8456 I was hoping I wasn't the only one that thought the background music was too loud. I do love your videos Mayra, can you please lower the background music or opt it all together till the audio part is over please?
Hun when you’re in tune with an interest of health and reviews, you block it out. Stay positive and focus on mental and physical nutrition to begin a new year with a new you!
I started Keto in 1-1-2025 and I have been intermittent fasting since 1st for 16-17 hours each day. I will weigh every 7 days so tomorrow will be my first weigh-in. I am excited to see how I did in my first 7 days. I have managed my expectations because I know the first week is a lot of water weight but still ready to see if any change. I will wait to weigh till I end my fast at 1pm tomorrow before I weigh….Great video as alway🎉🎉🎉
I've done both keto and carnivore (and ketovore, if you will- i can't adhere to the strict carnivore diet, either, bc this Mexican needs sabor as well 😅) I very much prefer the carnivore diet due to the lack of cravings, clarity of mind and lack of joint pain and inflammation. My mom has been doing a stricter ketovore for 3 years and she has lost 80lbs and reversed her Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver and much more at 72! I'm 52 and my body responds VERY well to the diet. My flesh is weak and I have been eating my feelings, so I'm about to get back on it and I've started working out super regularly again. I refuse to let my body determine my quality of life bc I don't take care of it. As a photographer, I need to be able to get on and off the ground and in weird positions to get my shots! The ketovore diet keeps my joints from screaming when I do all that! 🤣 Thank you for your inspiration!! 🫶🏽
Time to get on track. Did keto in the past and lost weight but gained it back when I stopped. Thought about doing carnivore for a kick-start and get back into keto again, but I'm afraid I'll get bored and miss spices and veggies. How do you carnivore folks keep it exciting? I see some recipes and all but they often have cheese and dairy. Is that like non-strict carnivore?
Food products made from animals is carnivore. Some people can't tolerate dairy, so they don't incorporate it. I lost 25lbs doing kertovore. I just started carnivore on new years day. I'm down 9lbs in 21 days! When I hit my goal weight, I will be maintaining with ketovor. Up your healthy fats on carnivore.
@@AshleyRDB That's awesome! Congratulations!!!! I think that that's what I would do is try to still keep it doable by having some vegetables and such after an initial weight loss. I'm just worried that the meat, cheese and eggs is going to get very boring and I'll get disheartened.
Carnivore is like a minimalist version of keto. It's very simple. I alternate throughout the seasons going on and off of carnivore and I find that the more that I do carnivore the less creative I am in my menu later in the year. I've really been able to learn the difference of what my body needs vs wants because of carnivore.
Did keto, felt great but wasn't eating enough on it and lost too much weight too fast. I didnt like how my body was looking. Went carnivore, my hormones absolutely LOVED it but after a while I started to miss veggies. For me, I think ketovore is the way to go. Now I just have to start and figure out what ratios my body does best on.
This is incredible! 🔥 Your journey on the carnivore diet is so inspiring and proof that dedication pays off. 🥩💪 The way you break it down makes it so relatable and easy to understand. Can't wait to see more amazing transformations like this from you! 🌟👏
Since having the gastric sleeve a little over 8 months ago, I had to completely change how I eat and about 4 to 5 months ago, I went ketovore! I don’t eat veggies at all anymore, I do have black coffee in the morning. Since I need to have a minimum 80 grams of protein. I have a protein shake for my mid morning breakfast, then a hamburger with a slice of cheese for lunch, 2 slices of cheese for a snack and steak for dinner.. that literally is my daily meals! It’s amazing and I feel great! I have lost inches more recently than weight loss. Give it a try if you love eating meat! It makes my meals incredibly easy and delicious!
I’ve been keto for six years, watching you since the beginning. I’ve been in a weight loss stall for years, but at least keeping it off. And right now I’m trying to do the same with carnivore, I’m really afraid it’s not going to work because I’m already so strict ketoviore, but this video is going to help me stay strong and have faith that it can work for me.
Mayra, you AMAZING!! I can tell you lost weight and are not puffy anymore. You are lean and looking super healthy and beautiful!! I notice I feel my best when I eat beef and prioritize protein like you are saying.
I did carnivore all last year. Not super strict but most days I ate 2lbs beef and 12 eggs on average. Lost of 29lbs of body fat and put on a total of 8lbs of lean muscle mass. I blew thru so many personal records in the gym. I sleep better, think better, feel better than I ever have been in my entire life. I have so much energy, productivity and wit. Best decision of my life and I'm never stopping
My husband and I did Keto a few years ago and it worked. We just started it again on New Year’s Day. What’s confusing us is all the different opinions on the internet about how long you should do it and that it’s detrimental to your body if done for a long period. And recently that it increases your mortality rate 😳You’ve obviously been on it for years. Have you had a physical exam with a full blood work up? What does your doctor say? I love Keto and I want it to be our lifestyle. I’m 49 and my husband is 67 and has MS. Thank you for your time!- Kristin
Don’t listen to other people. Do what your body intuitively feels best doing. Your body will tell you if you’re doing things right. Because you’ll feel amazing. If you don’t feel amazing. It’s not for you.
Went on carnivore, gained weight, felt sluggish and had painful digestive issues. Went back to keto and once again feel great, taking the carnivore weight off. Macros, 75% healthy fat, 20% protein, 5% carbs and IF. It's certainly a personal journey for each of us.
1. Oxalate dumping and sugar withdrawal from the few carbs you eat is why you felt the way you did. 2. You gained because you’re actually building muscle and bone density. Both things are very common in the beginning stages on carnivore.
Thank you, but no, that's not what happened. Due to my profession, knowledge and experience I'm very well aware of all the issues that can result in Carnivore. My body rejected it and ended up with a concerning medical issue that I'm still dealing with. @melindamercier6811
Sorry, but I have another question. … I’m 68 years old and I follow you all the time and I’m a subscriber. First let me say I’m very impressed with you. I would like to do my own videos about aging and staying young. But I wish more to start. I have questions for you such as do you do I your video and do you do you are you’re editing? And is there any chance sometime that you might do a video showing us what you use? It would be so helpful for me. PS. You are absolutely beautiful.❤
i always loved your keto cooking show. I just knew it was a matter of time before you joined us meat-eating lunatics. Best thing i ever did. Welcome aboard.
I do not like it when influencers Tell us how to follow a certain regimen and then they turn around and they’re doing something completely different when I was finally on track with the first diet.
Steak & Butter Gal, Laura Spath, Courtney Luna, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Shawn Baker, Jenny Mitich, Kelly Hogan are some of the carnivore experts with great & free info.
Did you restrain from all alcohol? 😢😢😢I love all your videos, and I subscribed. I think everyone should listen to you when it comes to health and diet.🎉
I started carnivore back in July 2024. I had not eaten beef for over 25yrs. I now crave it. I'm healing my body. I have lost some weight but I have a long way to go. I'm excited just to feel better and know that my body is responding to this way of eating.
Carnivore is fantastic for taking the extra weight off! I occasionally eat off, but am nearly 100% carnivore, but I do include dairy and I refuse to give it up, because it keeps this sustainable for me. I have been eating this way and haven't gained weight this winter, didn't last winter, either. Every year, I would gain 15lbs., without fail. 2 years ago, in February, I went a whole summer without losing weight. I gained over the winter and that's when I had had enough of the garbage and decided I needed a change of pace. My hormones have evened out. My weight has dropped. My chronic hip, neck and back pain is gone.
In my experience over the years, a lack of fat- & sometimes even protein- will cause me to crave sweets. It's almost always not enough fat in my meals. Agree completely that when I'm properly nourished, I do not want for ANYthing, sweets or other snack type foods, like salty things. So it's also important for me to make sure I'm salting my meat enough as well. For me, exercise is also really important, & one of the best things about eating meat based is the extra energy I have~ along w/the motivation & mental clarity to know how important strength training & muscle maintenence is. You're absolutely right though, exercise is not necessary to lose weight. People should focus on what's working for them, as an individual, to improve their health as they go. Often, the exercise component comes naturally over time. I will say that when my protein & fat intake has been low, I tend to back off on exercise to counter that. My eating & exercise habits have become far more intuitive, yet another massive bonus to this lifestyle, imho. *It's also like aging in reverse, on many levels~ at almost 60 yrs old, I feel better than I did in my 30's.Samantha in AZ
Having a hard time listening with the music your voice went lower and the music went higher please don't play music when your explaining your diet your audio is not good could not watch
We have been Carnivorish for 2+yrs. We have recently added a small amount of fruit. My husband loss 5+"' from his waist just eliminating carbs(bread/pasta).
Thanks again. Just luv you and your content. never too long. I just love to brown my butter 🧈before adding eggs! and i agree with the spices. "Peppay Is GOOD Medicine"🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
My whole family is totally unsupportive of me. 3 months ago, I suffered a heart attack. I'm 42 years old. I have 3 stents in my heart. After getting released from the hospital, I started doing keto. My parents and both my older brothers keep telling me that all the fat from meat, eggs, and full fat dairy is going to clog my arteries again. I keep explaining that it's the carbs, sugar, seed oils, and processed foods that clog arteries. They just dismiss whatever I say. They're always eating pizza, pasta, bread, cereal, muffins, pies, etc. Then tell me that red meat and dairy fat is bad. LOL. My parents are also constantly tired all the time. I wonder why.
I say "Carnivore life style," NOT a diet. I've been eating carnivore for 8 months and I feel the best ever. Gained muscles, burned visceral fat, and got much more energy. I don't crave sugar or junk food anymore. In the morning, I drink coffee with raw cow milk, ghee butter, and MCT oil. Around noon, I eat my brunch- eggs, bacon, shredded chicken breast, or ground beef. Sometimes, I add half sliced avocado. Get through the day feeling great. Diner time between 6-7pm is ribeye steak, or picanha, or beef brisket, or pork chops, or salmon, or corned beef, or baby back ribs. Love, love, love it ❤
Back in the day the Carnivore Diet was called the High Protein Diet. It's great to drop weight fast but it's not good for you long term. I've lost 30 pounds just by cutting out sugar and reducing bad carbs. I still eat carbs and fiber along with protein and fat. I try to follow The Zone plan as I am diabetic and it helps keep my blood sugar balanced.
Great talk about a carnivore diet. Sharing. I just have to eliminate eggs Dr orders for a good while,cholesterol. Just adding more lean protein. Green tea with ginger helps with my cravings. Thanks again.
Have you had a calcium score test done? If it's low, your doctor may not be giving you accurate advice based on the latest studies about cholesterol..... I'm just saying, do your own research doctors don't have time to keep up on the latest
I did Carnivore, straight carnivore, for 30 days and lost 15 lbs but I got bored with just eating meat. I then turned to Animal Based diet which is Carnivore but with honey and fruits. But then being Latina, I missed tortillas and I love bread...so I'm trying to find my groove. I think cutting out sugar for the most part and making your own bread and tortillas helps. I make my own tortillas and bread with regular flour and it does not affect me. So anyhow, I'm glad to see you are trying carnivore. Protein is the key! I am 50 now so I need to find out what is going to work best for me. Myra, check out Dr Paul Saldino. He did carnivore then animal based. We are all so different so we all need to find what works for each of us! Just make sure when you eat, what you eat, you do it with gratitude Romans 14
Carnivore is the only way of eating that I’ve lost weight and I’m keeping it off. I fell off a little with the holidays but back on track and haven’t gained any weight, so I’m all good
I love hearing other people’s experience on carnivore. I am pretty relaxed about it. I am doing more of an “animal based” style of eating. I like the simplicity of it all. Cutting out the snacky stuff is awesome for me! I just hate having to come up with different stuff to eat all the time.
OK, that sounds very very interesting but let me ask you a very important question. If you eat a lot of meat and bacon and eggs won’t your cholesterol go high automatically if even if you do light exercise every day.? I’m just very curious about that
I knew you looked a little bit more thinner and toned! I have to admit I love desserts, but I’ve been looking into the carnivore diet as well so I can maintain more than a year because I just gained my 30 pounds back within a year and I just wanna feel better overall as well
Been strict carnivore for a year and a half and I’m down almost 300 pounds. it really works…
That’s awesome
Yes Bill ! Following you since last year!! Also,got my vibration plate because of you too❤️!
Amazing results!
@ Wow Karen that’s great ! I just recently discovered your channel, your awesome 😁

“Food can be more important than exercise”
This is so true.
Lost over a hundred pounds on Keto in 9 months. No more diabetes.
Then I started hitting the gym. 15 minutes on the treadmill walking and about 20 minutes of weightlifting.
Weekends off.
Been almost four years now.
Congratulations! You are doing great!
I’m carnivore & it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for my health. I’ve tried every diet it out there and carnivore turned my life around 💓

Agree!!!! make sure your weight loss doesn’t include losing muscle mass since you haven’t been working out.
Exactly, and losing weight doesn't mean you are only losing fat, muscle loss also occurs, which is detrimental.
Well said……I am 66…….exercise is needed!
Omg yes I tried losing weight without exercise this time around but I look so flabby and just a smaller version of my fat self. Lol exercise helps you look so good
@@dangerzzzone2925 yes, it tones your body and I feel very fit and strong.
Great info. I am doing carnivore this month and so far I really love it.

Breakfast recipe idea: melt butter, grate a little zucchini, crack two eggs in, salt, two tablespoons of ricotta. Stir fry it up. Bacon side. This has been my go-to this winter! So yum.
I would rather have it as a little pancake like a keto rosti. Thanks for the idea!
💖💖💖 this!! Please let us know about the wooden plates you mentioned, thanks!!!!
Same. I looked for them on her Amazon store front, but it’s not on there.

Seasons change and so do we and it's always highly recomended in all areas of our lives that we re-evaluate what is working or not working, or needs to be tweaked, or needs to be kicked up a notch, it's good to be in tuned with our bodies and listen to what it's telling us that we need.

It's done when the stuff can be ripped off the bones and the meat can be teared.
big bonus here: take the stuff you don't want to eat like skin, bone marrow, or jiggly bits stuck to the bones.. take that stuff off and put it in a blender. Puree it and strain it back in. OMG 5-6 cups of this per day and you'll be able to feel how dramatically better you feel. For me, I can feel my skin tightened when I wake up, and better sleep. For someone else it might be mood stability and peace and joy, or concentration benefits. Delicious and worth it!! It makes it creamy, so good! Salt, black peppercorns and lemon/vinegar help. If you want vegetables or spices, you do you! Add a few veggies, sure! I do mine plain and it's fine. The drumsticks turn out great every time.

I’d say you’re doing amazing! Congratulations! 🎉🥳❤️
it's ok, we have to live :)
I lost 10 lbs this holiday I am amazed!
This is what’s wrong with diet culture. You did amazing and ate foods you enjoy. This is maintainable weight loss. Extreme fad diets lead to binge eating and failed weightloss over and over.
Carnivore??
You look amazing as always 😍. Of course few carbs lose weight- look great- feel great!
My oldest some has been doing the carnivore and has lost over 50 pounds. He had said his overall feeling is much better and not just from the weight loss
For 6 weeks before the holidays I did a mix of keto/carnivore/fasting and I lost 25lbs and 4% body fat, ( I didn't workout either during those 6) I stopped for the holidays and my birthday month (December). I gained about 10lbs back because I was doing low carb/high protein but I had more cheat meals than normal because everyone spoiling me for my birthday, but I started back on track this week and started with keto/carnivore and ill work in fasting starting in February =) I lost almost 250lbs in 9 years naturally just doing high protein/low carb and having my cheat meals and dealing with 2 cancer scares and wrestling injuries over the years, but my doctor recommended keto/carnivore/fasting to get the last of my weight off and when all said and done i will have lost over 300lbs naturally =) Thanks for your videos they inspired me to make my own, always great knowing what you went through and what to expect in my journey, again thank you!
OMG, I’m so happy to hear that you were talking about carnivore I have been doing carnivore for a year and a half and absolutely love it
Did you lose weight??
Yes, want to see the boards you mentioned. Cant see in the description...😊
Carnivore diet is not a diet. It’s a lifestyle
Yup!...😊
This statement reminds me of when vegans say
"Plantbase is the diet and vegan is the lifestyle"
No hate, just post-trauma me being an ex vegan 😩
What's with the music in the background. Don't like it. Also it's too loud.
Great video.❤ BTW, your hair looks amazing.❤❤❤❤❤
I am so excited for you! I started Carnivore Oct. 10 2024 it’ll be 3 months Jan. 10 and I’ve lost 25 lbs. I have so much energy and my body aches are gone!
Thanks a bunch! I'll start to drop weight and try the carnivore diet. This is right on time 😊
Sorry couldn’t finish this,,, loud music in background is soooooo annoying
I agree Ithe audio went high her voice went low she needs to not have music making these videos
@@lindaford8456 I was hoping I wasn't the only one that thought the background music was too loud.
I do love your videos Mayra, can you please lower the background music or opt it all together till the audio part is over please?
Hun when you’re in tune with an interest of health and reviews, you block it out. Stay positive and focus on mental and physical nutrition to begin a new year with a new you!
@@alesia5616 Hun, no, that's not the way it works.
It’s really hard to get all this stuff balanced. Give her a break 😊
I would love a video on what I eat in a day carnivore but your version. ❤❤❤
Excited for you to share recipes, been doing this since November
I have been hoping for so long that this diet would find you. I feel like you'll notice so much more progression!!
Love this video I been doing keto on and off 2 years game changer
And love your room please give us a tour room decor
I started Keto in 1-1-2025 and I have been intermittent fasting since 1st for 16-17 hours each day. I will weigh every 7 days so tomorrow will be my first weigh-in. I am excited to see how I did in my first 7 days. I have managed my expectations because I know the first week is a lot of water weight but still ready to see if any change. I will wait to weigh till I end my fast at 1pm tomorrow before I weigh….Great video as alway🎉🎉🎉
Mayra, why the background music?! Your content is good - no need for distracting background music!
I've done both keto and carnivore (and ketovore, if you will- i can't adhere to the strict carnivore diet, either, bc this Mexican needs sabor as well 😅) I very much prefer the carnivore diet due to the lack of cravings, clarity of mind and lack of joint pain and inflammation. My mom has been doing a stricter ketovore for 3 years and she has lost 80lbs and reversed her Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver and much more at 72!
I'm 52 and my body responds VERY well to the diet. My flesh is weak and I have been eating my feelings, so I'm about to get back on it and I've started working out super regularly again.
I refuse to let my body determine my quality of life bc I don't take care of it. As a photographer, I need to be able to get on and off the ground and in weird positions to get my shots! The ketovore diet keeps my joints from screaming when I do all that! 🤣 Thank you for your inspiration!! 🫶🏽
Time to get on track. Did keto in the past and lost weight but gained it back when I stopped. Thought about doing carnivore for a kick-start and get back into keto again, but I'm afraid I'll get bored and miss spices and veggies. How do you carnivore folks keep it exciting? I see some recipes and all but they often have cheese and dairy. Is that like non-strict carnivore?
Food products made from animals is carnivore. Some people can't tolerate dairy, so they don't incorporate it. I lost 25lbs doing kertovore. I just started carnivore on new years day. I'm down 9lbs in 21 days! When I hit my goal weight, I will be maintaining with ketovor.
Up your healthy fats on carnivore.
@@AshleyRDB That's awesome! Congratulations!!!! I think that that's what I would do is try to still keep it doable by having some vegetables and such after an initial weight loss. I'm just worried that the meat, cheese and eggs is going to get very boring and I'll get disheartened.
Carnivore is like a minimalist version of keto. It's very simple. I alternate throughout the seasons going on and off of carnivore and I find that the more that I do carnivore the less creative I am in my menu later in the year. I've really been able to learn the difference of what my body needs vs wants because of carnivore.
Did keto, felt great but wasn't eating enough on it and lost too much weight too fast. I didnt like how my body was looking.
Went carnivore, my hormones absolutely LOVED it but after a while I started to miss veggies.
For me, I think ketovore is the way to go. Now I just have to start and figure out what ratios my body does best on.
This is incredible! 🔥 Your journey on the carnivore diet is so inspiring and proof that dedication pays off. 🥩💪 The way you break it down makes it so relatable and easy to understand. Can't wait to see more amazing transformations like this from you! 🌟👏
most people cant stay on carnivore for long its been proven
Since having the gastric sleeve a little over 8 months ago, I had to completely change how I eat and about 4 to 5 months ago, I went ketovore! I don’t eat veggies at all anymore, I do have black coffee in the morning. Since I need to have a minimum 80 grams of protein. I have a protein shake for my mid morning breakfast, then a hamburger with a slice of cheese for lunch, 2 slices of cheese for a snack and steak for dinner.. that literally is my daily meals! It’s amazing and I feel great! I have lost inches more recently than weight loss. Give it a try if you love eating meat! It makes my meals incredibly easy and delicious!
I’ve been keto for six years, watching you since the beginning. I’ve been in a weight loss stall for years, but at least keeping it off. And right now I’m trying to do the same with carnivore, I’m really afraid it’s not going to work because I’m already so strict ketoviore, but this video is going to help me stay strong and have faith that it can work for me.
Love your content ❤️ Can’t find the wooden plates on your storefront with Amazon though…
Kind of random question, but wouldn’t you feel more constipated with low fiber? Lower fiber can lead to diverticulitis etc.
Nope. Do some more research, and not with main stream health sites. Dr Berry speaks a lot about this. Low fiber does not lead to diverticulitis.
@@PinkieJoJoso where are you supposed to get your fiber then with the carnivore diet?
Happy new year! Thank you for sharing this girl! I am motivated to start your plan
I don’t see the link for the plates you’re talking about
Happy New Year! Thank 😊 you for the pep talks they keep me motivated.
Mayra, you AMAZING!! I can tell you lost weight and are not puffy anymore. You are lean and looking super healthy and beautiful!!
I notice I feel my best when I eat beef and prioritize protein like you are saying.
I did carnivore all last year. Not super strict but most days I ate 2lbs beef and 12 eggs on average. Lost of 29lbs of body fat and put on a total of 8lbs of lean muscle mass. I blew thru so many personal records in the gym. I sleep better, think better, feel better than I ever have been in my entire life. I have so much energy, productivity and wit. Best decision of my life and I'm never stopping
My husband and I did Keto a few years ago and it worked. We just started it again on New Year’s Day. What’s confusing us is all the different opinions on the internet about how long you should do it and that it’s detrimental to your body if done for a long period. And recently that it increases your mortality rate 😳You’ve obviously been on it for years. Have you had a physical exam with a full blood work up? What does your doctor say? I love Keto and I want it to be our lifestyle. I’m 49 and my husband is 67 and has MS. Thank you for your time!- Kristin
Don’t listen to other people. Do what your body intuitively feels best doing. Your body will tell you if you’re doing things right. Because you’ll feel amazing. If you don’t feel amazing. It’s not for you.
I am excited about starting a low carb way of eating. Your video is so helpful ❤
Went on carnivore, gained weight, felt sluggish and had painful digestive issues. Went back to keto and once again feel great, taking the carnivore weight off. Macros, 75% healthy fat, 20% protein, 5% carbs and IF. It's certainly a personal journey for each of us.
1. Oxalate dumping and sugar withdrawal from the few carbs you eat is why you felt the way you did. 2. You gained because you’re actually building muscle and bone density. Both things are very common in the beginning stages on carnivore.
@@melindamercier6811 will this weight I have gained level off then?
Complete nonsense. Should’ve continued it
Same here?!
Thank you, but no, that's not what happened. Due to my profession, knowledge and experience I'm very well aware of all the issues that can result in Carnivore. My body rejected it and ended up with a concerning medical issue that I'm still dealing with. @melindamercier6811
Sorry, but I have another question. … I’m 68 years old and I follow you all the time and I’m a subscriber. First let me say I’m very impressed with you. I would like to do my own videos about aging and staying young. But I wish more to start. I have questions for you such as do you do I your video and do you do you are you’re editing? And is there any chance sometime that you might do a video showing us what you use? It would be so helpful for me. PS. You are absolutely beautiful.❤
Being sustainable calls for spices! 🎉
I do not really know how to cook meat. Going to see if you have videos on that, too. Love your vids! Thank you!
Get a crockpot for roasts and tough meats. Easy breezy and the meat is soooo flavorful!! 😊
@ oh thank you!!
i always loved your keto cooking show. I just knew it was a matter of time before you joined us meat-eating lunatics. Best thing i ever did. Welcome aboard.
I do not like it when influencers Tell us how to follow a certain regimen and then they turn around and they’re doing something completely different when I was finally on track with the first diet.
Girl the information is free on line . I’m carnivore and love it. Yes I do carnivore my own way!
yeah why pay for it all i have to do is google it and a bunch of reciepes meal plans come up for free and youtube videos from cooks...
Steak & Butter Gal, Laura Spath, Courtney Luna, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Shawn Baker, Jenny Mitich, Kelly Hogan are some of the carnivore experts with great & free info.
Did you restrain from all alcohol? 😢😢😢I love all your videos, and I subscribed. I think everyone should listen to you when it comes to health and diet.🎉
Thank you,this was so helpful to follow your eating examples for me..
I started carnivore back in July 2024. I had not eaten beef for over 25yrs. I now crave it. I'm healing my body. I have lost some weight but I have a long way to go. I'm excited just to feel better and know that my body is responding to this way of eating.
Im so confused. Your Instagram for the past three months definitely doesn't show you eating carnivore. Why not?
Carnivore is fantastic for taking the extra weight off! I occasionally eat off, but am nearly 100% carnivore, but I do include dairy and I refuse to give it up, because it keeps this sustainable for me. I have been eating this way and haven't gained weight this winter, didn't last winter, either. Every year, I would gain 15lbs., without fail. 2 years ago, in February, I went a whole summer without losing weight. I gained over the winter and that's when I had had enough of the garbage and decided I needed a change of pace. My hormones have evened out. My weight has dropped. My chronic hip, neck and back pain is gone.
In my experience over the years, a lack of fat- & sometimes even protein- will cause me to crave sweets. It's almost always not enough fat in my meals. Agree completely that when I'm properly nourished, I do not want for ANYthing, sweets or other snack type foods, like salty things. So it's also important for me to make sure I'm salting my meat enough as well.
For me, exercise is also really important, & one of the best things about eating meat based is the extra energy I have~ along w/the motivation & mental clarity to know how important strength training & muscle maintenence is. You're absolutely right though, exercise is not necessary to lose weight. People should focus on what's working for them, as an individual, to improve their health as they go. Often, the exercise component comes naturally over time. I will say that when my protein & fat intake has been low, I tend to back off on exercise to counter that. My eating & exercise habits have become far more intuitive, yet another massive bonus to this lifestyle, imho. *It's also like aging in reverse, on many levels~ at almost 60 yrs old, I feel better than I did in my 30's.Samantha in AZ
$39.99 for information available online for free? Nah, thanks.
There are so many FREE videos on carnivore….
I'm starting ketovore this week but aim for carnivore . I love hearing success stories . 💗
The things she mentioned doing are ketovore so you're on track.
Ketovore is probably where it's at for me!!!💟
Mayra, please do videos on a carnivore diet with your sides to see how it goes. Thanks
I’ll do whatever diet that slims my arms.
I did that years ago 9 yrs to be exact , then one day I just couldn’t stand it any more . That’s when I went to keto 🥰❤️ good luck
Thank you so much for good sharing 👍❤️ my dear friend 🥰🥰
I don’t see your link to the wooden plates
The cutting board plates are hidden well because I can't find them even going to Your Amazon store.
Glad to see you and listen you…..❤❤❤❤
Having a hard time listening with the music your voice went lower and the music went higher please don't play music when your explaining your diet your audio is not good could not watch
Agree. We need to hear her not the music.
Yes I’m with you
It was very annoying
Thanks again Mayra.
Good advice, but please take the music off, it’s too loud and distracting.
We have been Carnivorish for 2+yrs. We have recently added a small amount of fruit. My husband loss 5+"' from his waist just eliminating carbs(bread/pasta).
I have seen you lost serious weight the few times I seen you on TikTok and TH-cam!
What do you take to ensure you have bowel movements without the fiber?
You don't need fibre.
Thanks again. Just luv you and your content. never too long.
I just love to brown my butter 🧈before adding eggs! and i agree with the spices. "Peppay Is GOOD Medicine"🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
My whole family is totally unsupportive of me. 3 months ago, I suffered a heart attack. I'm 42 years old. I have 3 stents in my heart. After getting released from the hospital, I started doing keto. My parents and both my older brothers keep telling me that all the fat from meat, eggs, and full fat dairy is going to clog my arteries again. I keep explaining that it's the carbs, sugar, seed oils, and processed foods that clog arteries. They just dismiss whatever I say. They're always eating pizza, pasta, bread, cereal, muffins, pies, etc. Then tell me that red meat and dairy fat is bad. LOL. My parents are also constantly tired all the time. I wonder why.
I say "Carnivore life style," NOT a diet. I've been eating carnivore for 8 months and I feel the best ever. Gained muscles, burned visceral fat, and got much more energy. I don't crave sugar or junk food anymore. In the morning, I drink coffee with raw cow milk, ghee butter, and MCT oil. Around noon, I eat my brunch- eggs, bacon, shredded chicken breast, or ground beef. Sometimes, I add half sliced avocado. Get through the day feeling great. Diner time between 6-7pm is ribeye steak, or picanha, or beef brisket, or pork chops, or salmon, or corned beef, or baby back ribs. Love, love, love it ❤
So you lost 100 lbs. gained 30, and lost it again on the carnivore diet? You tell everyone you did keto and low carb. I’m confused.
I'm with you, I miss my onions and garlic.
use the powders
Back in the day the Carnivore Diet was called the High Protein Diet. It's great to drop weight fast but it's not good for you long term. I've lost 30 pounds just by cutting out sugar and reducing bad carbs. I still eat carbs and fiber along with protein and fat. I try to follow The Zone plan as I am diabetic and it helps keep my blood sugar balanced.
Great talk about a carnivore diet. Sharing. I just have to eliminate eggs Dr orders for a good while,cholesterol. Just adding more lean protein. Green tea with ginger helps with my cravings. Thanks again.
Have you had a calcium score test done? If it's low, your doctor may not be giving you accurate advice based on the latest studies about cholesterol..... I'm just saying, do your own research doctors don't have time to keep up on the latest
I’m pregnant and I have a severe addiction to sugar. I hate it. I’ve gained 10 lbs already. I want to try this, but need tips to get off the sugar.
Will you please re-do the video? It is too good to miss. This one needs to go on the cutting-room floor.
I did Carnivore, straight carnivore, for 30 days and lost 15 lbs but I got bored with just eating meat. I then turned to Animal Based diet which is Carnivore but with honey and fruits. But then being Latina, I missed tortillas and I love bread...so I'm trying to find my groove. I think cutting out sugar for the most part and making your own bread and tortillas helps. I make my own tortillas and bread with regular flour and it does not affect me. So anyhow, I'm glad to see you are trying carnivore. Protein is the key! I am 50 now so I need to find out what is going to work best for me. Myra, check out Dr Paul Saldino. He did carnivore then animal based. We are all so different so we all need to find what works for each of us! Just make sure when you eat, what you eat, you do it with gratitude Romans 14
I started Ketovore 4 months ago. 30lbs down. Cravings gone! Meat/beef and salt with butter 🧈🍽️ 🍖 my fave now
Carnivore is the only way of eating that I’ve lost weight and I’m keeping it off. I fell off a little with the holidays but back on track and haven’t gained any weight, so I’m all good
Looking for the link to the cutting board plates 👀👀 cant find it. Great advice as always!!!! ❤❤❤
Happy New Year!!! I hope you have the best 2025 ever!!🩷🫶🏻
I don't see the Amazon link for the cutting board plates.
I love hearing other people’s experience on carnivore. I am pretty relaxed about it. I am doing more of an “animal based” style of eating. I like the simplicity of it all. Cutting out the snacky stuff is awesome for me! I just hate having to come up with different stuff to eat all the time.
OK, that sounds very very interesting but let me ask you a very important question. If you eat a lot of meat and bacon and eggs won’t your cholesterol go high automatically if even if you do light exercise every day.? I’m just very curious about that
Cholesterol is a myth.
Dr ken Berry.
I hate colliflower. Are there some good keto side dishes that you would recommend that’s tasty? And non-colliflower?
Happy New Year Mayra🎉🎉
I knew you looked a little bit more thinner and toned! I have to admit I love desserts, but I’ve been looking into the carnivore diet as well so I can maintain more than a year because I just gained my 30 pounds back within a year and I just wanna feel better overall as well
You can make Kiltz,s ice cream!😋
I've been carnivore 17mons, and I'm down 30 pounds, and I've put my insulin resistance and hypothyroidism in remission ❤
