This is very true actually. I've worked in health care doing physical therapy, cant tell you how many people expected that I made their doctors appointments when I suggested they might want to see a specialist. Always blew my mind, isn't your health YOUR health, why expect someone to do it?
Somewhat true...however we are not given the truth . Who knew that TH-cam docs would be the key to the truth and s healthy woe! I am age 65 and almost a year and half ago, reversed t2d, lost 78 lbs and labs excellent for first time in my life! The Am. Diabetes Ass. should be criminally charged for the woe they promote to "manage" diabetes. Made me sicker and sicker.
For true responsibility we need true autonomy. We come into the world within nature but we grew up there in an artificial cage created by a handful of individuals who have hijacked the laws of nature. A panoply of problems ensued, in order to come up with an artificial solution to the unnatural problem they created. So I believe that yes ultimately we must take back our responsibility for our health, but how much of our suffering is caused by this masquerade of generation after generation conditioning? Ps , sorry I use google translate from french.
@@richardcardinale7152 Yes, I wholeheartedly agree. No need for apology. Your message came through clear. We indeed need true autonomy. We need true autonomy informed by truthful accurate factual information on the background and history on exactly what it is to be human (from a metabolic perspective). Humans unknowingly made a "Faustian Bargain" with carbohydrates within the past 6,000 to 12,000 years as we transitioned from being primarily carnivores to omnivores to what it has become today. Today, large segments of our modern society are unknowingly living out their lives in a "gilded cage" of ignorance not ever knowing or experiencing the freedom and truth of what it is to be metabolically human. Humans do have an innate limited tolerance for carbohydrates, but that is not to say that chronic carbohydrate consumption is in any way metabolically good or healthy for us over the long term. The best that can be said about carbohydrates is that they can prevent us from starving to death when meat is in critically short supply. Large segments of our modern society have not only impinged upon, but wholly blown past and depleted our innate metabolic tolerance for carbohydrates. One can readily acknowledge that carbohydrates have enabled humans to socially and technologically change from primitive nomadic hunter gatherers into our modern society. Carbohydrates allowed for the establishment and development of permanent settlements, towns, cities, culture, free time, regular group conversation, intellectual collaboration, development of ideas, experimentation, inventions, technology, and manufacturing. Stored carbohydrates allowed for humans to remain safely in one place without starving to death during times of seasonal and/or unusual drought and famine affecting the availability of local game. Without carbohydrates, agriculture, and the associated transportation and storage of grains and vegetables we would still be living as primitive nomadic hunter gathers depending on the pursuit of fresh game for our daily sustenance. Depending on ones perspective, one can either thank or curse carbohydrates for the sociological and technological changes that have occurred over the past 6,000 or so years. Despite the rapid sociological and technological changes that have occurred over the past 6,000 or so years, humans remain immutable carnivores that have zero adaptive capacity to change the innate physiological and metabolic nature of their carnivore digestive tract that evolved over the preceding 2 to 4 million years of the human lineage. A dissection and examination of the digestive tract of a human that lived 5,000 years ago is physiologically indistinguishable from that of a modern human. Nothing has changed. From a metabolic and physiological perspective we are living at odds with our innate and immutable carnivore nature and thus in a state of chronic debilitating metabolic distress caused by daily consumption of the standard western diet. Metabolically, carbohydrates consumption should be the rare life saving emergency exception rather than the rule. I don't completely agree the problem is caused by a handful of individuals. In my opinion, the problem was originally rooted in scientific ignorance, business, and economics motivated by profit. With respect to the USA, it is now sustained by an amalgam of politically active vigilant transnational businesses and industries (primarily agriculture, food manufacturing, restaurant, medicine, health insurance, pharma, and the various coordinating trade organizations and lobbyists they financially support and control) who currently profit from the status quo and who are aligned and actively work to cooperatively sabotage and resist any change to the status quo for wholly self-serving financial reasons. They will never be caught off guard or asleep at the switch when it comes to the bottom line. They are always playing political chess thinking many moves into the future. Unfortunately, for the time being I expect no meaningful changes to public policy or government funded scientific research with respect to the health benefits of a low carb or carnivore diet. Business, industry, and trade organization lobbying has those avenues pretty well locked down and under control to preclude any government led changes to the status quo. Their are no elected or appointed government officials who will challenge the lobbying power of these politically coordinating businesses and industries. Those who would dare to do so will be quickly dispatched from their positions.
BtW, Potatoes Turn into SUGAR ! This is Also Good: 20 Foods You'll Never Eat Again After Knowing How It's Made th-cam.com/video/s1GOLbadEdA/w-d-xo.html
Thats moee than an achievement; its an amazing mission impossible acomplishment. Especially after shes tried so many other methods. AND shes done a deep dive into herself to understand herself and figuring out more than just the reasons for her weight struggle issues. Shes awakening; almost dying is pretty rock bottom and shes climbing out at 10+ lbs a month! Overall its just short of, if not, a miracle. Her story little engine that could story made my day.
Way to go!!! I retired a little over a year ago, I'm 69 and weighed in at 405 pounds, I have lung damage even though I was never a smoker. I couldn't walk 10 feet without being short of breath. I started KETO with intermittent fasting I eat once a day and after 415 days I have lost 186 pounds.
the fact that nobody talks about censored book called The 21 Former Doctor Secrets by Rachel Morgan really gets to me. Always loved doctors like Rachel, they open our eyes
It us not possible for all people to eat only meat. There never was a country where people eat only meat. This would destroy our planet. This is a fake commentator side. All agree!
@@CarnivorousMe1 Great for you! Lots of us have discovered this. Apparently, the entire whole-grains and fruit low meat, low fat eating plan was pushed by a doctor who was taking money from the sugar industry to make fats the enemy and make fat the "cause" of heart disease rather than carbohydrates and the inflammation they cause in your body. The rest of the medical profession drank the cool-aid and went back for more. Now that the medical profession has backed this obviously wrong food pyramid they refuse to change back because they wear dogma coats and eat dogma for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have a doctor friend who directs you to the information on this diet but can not recommend it or personally give you information because the medical association would take his medical license for going against dogma. You can add low carbohydrate veg and fruits in low amounts (i.e. a couple of strawberries or some bell pepper). Just remember, if it is made from grain or has sugar in it -- don't eat it. This is the REAL reason why baby boomers and the greatest generation were not as obese as us, they didn't eat as much carbohydrates (check a 1940s cook book)
You go girl!!!! Me and my husband went Keto/Carnivore 8 months ago and we’ve never felt better! No sugar, no grains, no starch. We still do a few veggies like broccoli, green beans, asparagus, avocados and peppers mainly. I’m 57 and post menopausal. I’m doing OMAD and the weight I had been slowly gaining for the last 20 years is gone!!! I’m so happy for you! Spread the word!!! That crappy food pyramid that big food has been shoving down our throats for 50 years is total bullshit!
So true, the original American pyramid suggest 6-11 servings of bread, cereal, rice and pasta per day. Which is, well, a hell of a lot if you actually think about it. According to Luise Light, one of the people who worked for the USDA during the time the pyramid was being developed, this was due to interference from food industry giants as well. How does she know this? Well, she was the leader of a group of top nutritionists who developed the original food pyramid for the United States before it got “sold to the highest bidder” as she put it. So yeah... we really can't trust what has been told to us for years and years.
@@bdavidgreenwell8298 1:44 Not with organic 100% grass fed and finished no hormones no antibiotics grown beef and other meat. No farm fish. Eat wild only. No hormone cheese. Fertile all range eggs. It is the unhealthy way meat and fish is grown that causes hormone problems. Don’t yell expensive either because you aren’t buying junk.
The "triangle food pyramid" = the LIE shoved down our throats by Gov and Big pharma the results was 3 generations of overweight sick ridded ppl, dependant of big pharma "drugs and treatments"..
My journey largely mirrors yours. I have lost 115 lbs and my autoimmune issues are completely remitted. My clinical depression in GONE. I went from 5 daily medications to ZERO. Carnivore saved my life.
Congratulations! As an ER nurse, I'm so happy you were able to take control of your health. Diet is our number one cause for poor health. And we're lied to about what to eat!
I ended up weighing 300 pounds because I ate everything my parents gave me when it was offered. (I'm old) It never occurred to me to refuse meals, as we were shamed for not CLEANING THE PLATE. Cheers to the resigned members of the clean plate club! I've had to relearn everything I was taught as a child.
It’s not that spinach and almonds are unhealthy, but large amounts of spinach and almonds are very unhealthy. Don’t eat 5 cups of spinach a day with a cup of almonds a day. I have 5 cups of spinach within a week and one cup of almonds within a week. That’s the issue with people who might’ve been binge eating cake switching to binge eating healthy foods, that’s not healthy either. It’s a chemical overload on your system that your system isn’t able to balance and process without side effects. However, a mix of greens, even at 5 cups a day is typically fine, but sometimes have soup or grilled veggies, 1 cups of mostly water almond milk is way easier on you than one whole cup of almonds every day to make a giant keto mug cake out of. See?
What I do to avoid issues from oxalates- don’t binge on high oxalate foods such as soda, soy, almonds, chocolate, or spinach. When you have a salad make it mixed power greens and add a dressing of vinegar, cold pressed olive oil, and lemon juice, drink several cups of lemon water per day(this breaks down any potential kidney stones so you don’t have them pass), stay hydrated, take Cal Meg D at “night,” and really start your day with that lemon water or ACV and lemon water.
"I lack the ability to moderate myself" this statement shows exactly why shes so successful. It takes an incredible amount of courage and maturity to see your own flaws and admit to them like this. This is awesome!
Yes. I'm not an addictive personality, and most things tell when you've had enough. I can moderate alcohol and other drugs based on how I feel. I couldn't ever really do that with carbs, there was enough delay to allow the binge, and not enough down side 4 hours later to stop you doing it again. Have been Carnivore since 2018. Too many cheat days (ice-cream...it's basically beef isn't it!) means I have wavered and struggled, but I lost 30 lbs and gained health and life benefits. Currently I've been very good for 3 months and my scales just dipped into the 192 range which I've not been since maybe 2008. I actually want to find out what it feels like to be fit this time, be the best me I can be at 50.
Our food is engineered for people like her. It is addictive on purpose and terrible. Carbs are the devil. Doctors know it for should but they have been brainwashed by the $.
I had an eating disorder too, called being vegetarian for over 20 years. My health collapsed. I also thought about food every 2 hours. Now I'm going on three years on carnivore. All my problems resolved. I'm 52 and on no medications. So happy for you!
Your alcoholic analogy is exactly what I tell people, when they don't understand why I decline cakes and candy. I am a sugarholic and if I start I am not able to stop. Like an alocholic, a sugarholic can not just drink/eat a little bit - it spirals out of control every time.
@@mixedmediaartgirl300 as an alcoholic: I believe so, yes. If you haven't already, I recommend looking into the work of folks like Paul Saladino, Shawn Baker, and Mark Berry - all medical doctors on the path to shed light on this kind of diet/lifestyle. 🙏🏼
Great work! Like you I was 400 lbs and with the Keto and carnivore I lost my first 100 lbs in about 8-9 months. I then incorporated intermediate and long term fasting and now by this month will have lost 200 lbs. My goal is 180 which I will achieve by March. The process of 'Autophagy' is amazing! Anyone can lose any amount of weight they desire 'safely' as I can attest to. My sleep apnea, high insulin, heart issues and even my psoriasis are gone! Keep this in mind all of you reading this that think you 'can't' do it, I'm 67! God Bless! Dave, NJ
I need to do this... I'm 56 yrs old and weigh 370lbs and I'm 6'3"... been an avid, serious weight ifter since my US Marine Corps days and I'm built like a NFL lineman but not a huge belly or legs... but I have sleep apnea and prediabietic and I'm doing the intermittent fasting now with some success... any advice is much appreciated!
Wow, I'm 66 and weigh 270. It's extremely hard for me to lose weight. I have congestive heart failure, severe sleep apnea, arthritis and mild high BP. I'm not depressed bc I have a close relationship with Jesus. Altho I'm very embarrassed about my size and limited mobility. I can do relate to your constant food focus. I started carnivore a month ago and am frustrated that I've only lost a few lbs.
I’m not usually one to say this kind of stuff to a person I don’t know but, I’m super proud of this person and happy she was courageous and strong enough to do this. I’m glad it worked out for her.
Makes you think, how many people are overweight and sick do to the nonsense standard diet advice from that silly food pyramid they been showing us for decades.
You ARE NOT a binge eater anymore! You ARE NOT an uncontrolled eater anymore!! You are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Carnivore saved my life too. God bless you sweetie!! Keep it up!!
Your story made me cry. I am so so happy for you. I am 74 and I have been very overweight all my life. I just started a low-carb diet a month ago. I have lost 20 pounds and can now walk 5 km (3.1 mi). I have been able to reduce my diabetic meds. My depression is much better. Keep up the great job! I am following you. Thank you so much for your story.
Congratulations on your success! Don’t know if you’ve heard of the TH-cam channel Ketogenic Woman but she does both keto and carnivore cooking. I think you’d really like her!
Way to go! Here's my embarrassing story. I'm a 71yo man that is 20 pounds over weight. Not in great shape. Basically healthy my whole life. I have played with keto and carnivore several times. Always quitting. Figuring out how to cheat and take the easy way. I know that is hurting my health and longevity. But more so my family. Don't take this comment wrong. You have truly inspired me to be a stronger person. Now, let's see if I change. I have never 'hit the bell' button in my entire life. I did it for your channel.
Change to carnivore and you wont be upset by that change! You will find that you dont need or want to cheat. Im on it for a few years now and its still amazing!
@@anniedodd1685 It does happen to some. There could be a lot more sugar stored in your body and it needs to be used up. Or you could eat a SMALL amount of sweet potato or carrots so that your body has a little coming in and can ease off emptying all your stores. If you have stopped the diet when this reaches you - please give it another try. Judge how you feel so you know you are doing okay with it. Also be aware that some people have incredibly high blood sugar in the morning which only drops when they eat something (not a banquet) to get the insulin production going.
I was carnivore for 3 years before my dog died and then shortly after that the lockdown began. I spiraled into loneliness and depression that took me three years to get back on the wagon again beginning January this year. Your video is heaven sent. A source of motivation and inspiration in a way you will never fully understand. Thank you so much for sharing your ongoing journey. What a blessing !
While I didn’t experience any tragedy during the pandemic lockdowns, my very disciplined health conscious lifestyle was completely obliterated due to gym closings and irregular food supplies and can’t neglect the mental toll. I am as well just now trying to get back on the bandwagon.
I just found you and I’m so glad I did! You’re an inspiration ❤. I’ve been on this journey since March 2020 and I see Dr. Cywes. I love and can relate to everything you just said!
I feel food industry is in bed with Pharma and Medical industry. Their goals are to create steady stream of customers . Tobacco industry was putting chemicals in tobacco that made you even more addicted which made it impossible to quit. We are living in a evil world of Zionist Rothschilds Criminal Central Bankers who own everything and are using us like lab rats for their benefit. The shackles of deceit and the fake reality must be broken at all costs. Time of being a useful Goyem must come to an end.
You know when people say they are proud of other people? I think usually they're just saying it. But I AM PROUD of this person. She's turned her life around on her own terms. An amazing accomplishment that will have positive impacts on her entire life. So good, so good.
Yes i always hate to say that to anyone other than my kids but this young lady is so amazing and yes i too am so proud of how she changed her world and i pray many others.
@@pilotrtc Obviously she didn't endure enough long in the veganism , because i have never seen a fat vegan. But, one of my slim girlfriend got fatter about 5 years ago , when she stopped being vegan, and started becoming mostly meat eater . So, that's when i got the confirmation , that meat is fatting the tissue on our bodyes. And that is also the reason why this girl "CarnivorousMe1" is stil not slim. Pwy.
Good for you Amanda. I'm happy for you. I'm on day 95. My blood sugar has come down to basically normal and I've lost 46 lbs. Just eating as much as my body tells me to and never counting calories or feeling like I'm starving myself. It's awesome. Everybody needs to know about this. It took me 40 years to find my appetite's "off switch". Who knew it was this easy?!
@@m-rstringer3750 Cold turkey. Never had a problem with keto flu or any of that stuff. Update: my A1C is totally normal at my last test. And I'm down 59lbs so far.
I gave up flour and sugar 5 years ago for similar reasons. I'd been controlled by food for most of my life and carried an extra 60 lbs for 20 years. I'm 53 years old and feel and look better than I did when I was 33. I am so happy for you!

Losing the weight, although a huge accomplishment and something to be proud of, is not what makes you special. What makes you special is your bravery to share your story and that you are inspired to encourage others with your whole heart!
What works for her is what works for everyone because this is the optimum human diet. we are the same animals. this works for us because this is how we are supposed to eat. when we added wheat into our diets 10,000 years ago, infant mortality was higher and people were smaller and sicker from then on. what works for her? that's what people say to me and it's just ridiculous. do some research. there's tons of it now on carnival.
this is the part of technology I love. people sharing and learning from each other's truths. Way to go Amanda and thanks for your candidness. Your story & tips will help so many
I just come to laugh at this kind of channels, to read how people just say all "benefits" they had, like puppets jumped into rabbit hole because TH-cam channels and non verified claims, in last few years they think they are smarter than centuries of farming.
@@Dominik40301 and the fact they don’t realize that it was only supposed to be a temporary diet structure and they’re all hailing it as a complete a lifestyle change, and the only way to eat🤦🏻
Your outlook is amazing, Amanda. Just proves that carnivore isn't just a weight loss diet but it heals the mind and body too. I love how you are not afraid to put the real you out there. Such an inspiration to so many. Blessings!
Nope. She did what any diet says to do - smaller portions, no junk, no snacking, no fast food and realizing WHY she was eating so much. Carnivore thing is simple what she chose to do.
You are so alive and vital in your video! I was a physical wreck too. I was developing arthritis in my feet. Gone! My hands too. Gone! Periodontal issues. 98% gone!
@@shangdi3162 funny how? Like a clown? j/k Doctors apparently don’t learn f**k all after medical school. It amazes me such intelligent, educated people could be so closed minded over a solution to what has become a major social issue in the US. Honestly, I think the PTB want us weak , tired and befuddled. That’s how I felt before I started carnivore.
Thanks for sharing your journey. I am 2 months carnivore and loving it! I’m losing weight but the non-scale victories are what motivates me to keep going. There are several but the miracle of miracles is something I never even expected to get from carnivore. I have been incontinent for about 30 years. My weekly trash is mostly diapers. Gross! Now, I don’t have this problem at all. I can go anywhere without worrying that I’m going to leak through my clothes. I’m not even wearing any pads anymore, not even a pantiliner! I am free of this burden now. There are others, but this is the big one that I didn’t even think that carnivore could fix.
I have to say that I haven’t had any bladder infections like I did when I was a vegan I hundred percent think I had oxalate poisoning. Good job I’m so happy that you are doing so well that is amazing.
I went keto 5 years ago and got much healthier and went from 220 to 160 in about 6 months. I feel 20 years younger - I’m 72. I’ve been thinking about going carnivore for awhile now to get maximum health. Your story and others like your are motivating me, Thank you!
OMAD is the way to go. I went from 190 lbs to my high school weight of 150 lbs & I just turned 60 years old. KETO & carnivore is the way to go. Now I am seeing a chiropractor to release the pains I was enduring & I am feeling like I did when I was 20 years old. We have been lied to! These criminals are push death upon “WE THE PEOPLE” LETS GO BRANDON
Phenomenal! Congratulations for becoming carnivore at such an early age. I’m 73 with RA and been carnivore for 6 months. My labs and weight are now the same as I was in my twenties.
I don't struggle with this like you do but I'm a registered nurse and am very interested in diet and exercise. I stumbled upon your video and am completely drawn in to your story. You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned taking your triggers away by removing the carbs. Everything else falls in line once you do that. You are a true inspiration and should be very proud of yourself. By the way, your skin looks super healthy and radiant. Keep doing what you're doing!
7:57 "I am nothing special" ....I beg to differ. Bravo to this young lady! She has already achieved great personal success and she is not even done yet.
Congratulations. I too am a sugar addict without the ability to eat in moderation. Your example of one cookie becomes a bag of cookies is my situation exactly. I have been eating Carnivore for almost 2 years now. Your words could have come from my mouth. Thanks for spreading the word. You're an inspiration.
I saw an interesting video recently by a man who said he has quit alcohol because he didn't have that little trigger inside of his brain that tells you "I should probably stop now". He said "I am not an alcoholic, but I am someone who should not drink". Probably applies to sugar for many people!
Thank-you....i too lack the ability to moderate myself ( I'm an alcoholic). It's only been 3 days on the carnivore diet but 5 days booze free. It's strange but in the last 3 days Im not terribley overweight (40 lbs) but there's something oddly empowering about how this diet is making me feel. Went to rehab...failed....but I've never eaten like this and there's something magical about it. Now seeing you can do it...I can too. God bless you🌿
TO BE ABLE TO MODERATE, MEANS TO MASTER SELF CONTROL, SELF CONTROL IS MAKING GQQD CHOICES, THE GAME PLAN START LONG BEFORE THE MEAL. IF YOU GET OUT OF 8 WEEKS OF AA TREAMENT, AND MOVE INTO A NEW APT ABOVE A BAR .... YOU SOON HEAR THE MUSIC, LAUGHTER. YES, THAT APT WAS CLOSER TO YOUR NEW JOB, AND MUCH CHEAPER. BUT, THE CHOICE WILL LEAD TO LOSS OF SELF CONTROL. IT'S WOULD BE BETTER TO LIVE 10 MILE AWAY FROM YOUR JOB, AND PAY $100 A MONTH MORE RENT, THEN TO BE AN ALCOHOLIC AND MOVE INTO AN APARTMENT ABOVE A BAR. SAME WITH FQQD, THE CARBS TRIGGER AN INTERNAL WAR WITHIN YOU, CRAVINGS DEMONS ARE RELEASED. IT IS BETTER TO DECIDE TO BE CARNIVORE, MEAT ONLY, TO LIMIT [ MODERATE, MODERATION ] YOUR CHOICE, AND STICK WITH THAT GAME PLAN ( STRATEGY ) - IT'S A GAME PLAN. STICK TO THE PLAN ! "THE MAIN THING, IS TO KEEP, THE MAIN THING; THE MAIN THING!" THE CHOICE TO MODERATE WITH MEAT OR CARNIVORE IS THE GAME CHANGER.
What you said at minute 7:30 is exactly how I felt and what I loved the most about carnivore / keto eating. It's SO genuinely NICE to not be thinking about the next meal as soon as the one you're eating is done. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!! You changed my life. I listened to this 4 weeks ago and instantly went carnivore. So far I've lost 10 lbs (only 10-15 more to go). I feel so much better too.
So, I hate to bring science into this discussion, but your weight loss isn't fromyour carnivore diet.. it is from eating fewer calories. Calories in/out isn't a myth, it's a reality. You can get the same results by eating a balanced diet with the same calories. This is just another fad diet that 99% of people are NOT going to be able to do long term.
You’re amazing! I clapped for you several time throughout this vid. “You go girl”! So proud of your initiative and dedication. Very poised delivery. Very well spoken.
Good for you!!! I’ve been on carnivore for nearly 2 years, and in my first year I lost 80lbs. I weighed 300lbs and dropped to 220. Keep up the good work!!
I used to think about food the same way a junky thinks about the next fix. It was without end. I could be stuffed and uncomfortable and still looking for more carbs to snack on. Much like you going carnivore has dramatically helped with that.
Losing the cravings and feeling satiated are essential. I thought about food all day long whenever I was on a diet. “When can I eat next? What kind of snack can I have? I need dessert to finish this off.” I finally tried keto and everything fell into place…without the white knuckling! I am so happy for you that you slew your food demons! And thank you for sharing your story! We all need to hear this.
@@marynewsham9896 you may experience constipatiin in the beginning as your gut readjust and begins to heal. You can also use ox bile supplements to help in the start.
I have severe RA as well. The pain, inflammation & constant use of steroids made me gain an uncomfortable amount of weight. I started carnivore a year ago and transitioned into a ketovore diet after losing about 40lbs. I feel so much better today thanks to what I learned on carnivore. I’m also OMAD and you’re so right, it is LIBERATING to not be controlled by the obsessive thoughts of food. Great video. I find your story extraordinary.
I love how you took action and did not blame your weight on everything else; you realized you're not a victim but a very creative and functional human who took control of your situation. I'm watching this video for the first time and see this is 10 months old. I can't wait to see your latest video! 🤗
Girl, thank you for showing the world it can be done and it's not a matter of "genetics". You are what you eat. Move, eat healthy and you can get anywhere.
I cut carbs and sugar and ate meat , even veggies. 3 months later I went from 205 lbs to 169lbs. A1C went from 6.4 to 5.4. I even ate bacon often and my cholesterol went from over 210 to 179 and triglycerides dropped to normal values. My liver enzymes went from 77 and 119 to 28 and 32 unreal. My liver enzymes haven’t been normal for years. I look good and feel good. I was pre diabetic now I’m back to healthy state. I also went from waist size 34-36 to 32. This woman is telling the truth.
@doves9204, There are 3 types of foods: Protein like eggs, meats, cheese, Fat, like butter, etc. and carbohydrates like breads, corn, all grains, beans, starchy vegi like potatoes, etc. Your body can and will use glucose, but it will be forced to use ketones, which is a breakdown of fat cells in the absence of glucose in blood! when you eat anything that contains carbs or sugar, including fruits, milk, carbs such as bread, corn, beans, barley or even any starchy or sweet vegi or potatoes, etc, they "all have carbs" and turn to glucose in blood causing pancreas to secrete insulin. This hormone, insulin, causes body to store fat! The beginning of bad news! you got to stop all carbs as much as possible to prevent/reduce the secretion of Insulin! when you don't eat those starchy or carb food your body, eventually after the depletion of glycogen, stored glucose, will be forced to break down your own body fat and breaks it down to ketones, which will be used by all your cells. If you continue this type of eating: non-starchy vegi, proteins like meats eggs, cheese, and yes fats like butter, etc. you start getting healthier and better, the lady is telling you the truth! I have been doing it too and have lost about 40 pounds in 2.5 months, and my blood sugar etc. all normal! I also add that I do not eat for 16 hours in between meals, and no it is not hard because when your body is using ketones you won't be hungry, and you get used to it! Do not listen to what you hear on the media, etc! Just do it and, good Lord's willing, you will be healthy again! There is just too much loss of money for the big corp, food industry, medical, ... to tell you the truth! They need and want customers to make their money! The good Lord has already given wisdom and the capacity to our bodies to heal itself for free! Just eat right and be patient and in a few months, you will be fine again! The lady is telling the truth! Thank you for coming out and telling the truth to people! God bless you!
@@doves9204I also am on a modified version of the diet, but not to lose weight, but to heal my gut. My daughter-in-law came up with a very simple dish that we all call Simple Beef. It is just hamburger cooked in a pot and then a can or two ( or better yet, fresh frozen green beans) added, and then seasoned. It satisfies your appetite and you can pull the left overs ( always keep some in your frig) out anytime you have a craving, and have a bowl. So simple and satisfying. I don't think the small amout of carbs in the green beans will hurt, and you should lose.your cravings for sweets. Try it. Ultra easy to make and it works wonders. Good luck. We season with lots of Season-It-All, or similar, onion salt, and garlic powder or salt.
@@doves9204how's it going? clearly you were ready to eliminate sugar and highly processed foods and go low carb and that's great. You may never want to try strict carnivore, which means only animal products. I usually eat relaxed carnivore and allow and some minor plant items for seasonings. God bless ❤️🙏❤️
@@doves9204 No carbs whatsoever even from fruits (sugar) for at least two weeks until your full blown ketosis. The first 3 weeks I lost 18 pounds then I started counting carbs no more than 30-40 g per day. When I finally lost 40 pounds and all my blood work was totally normal I started taking in a few more carbs but would back off when I would start getting out of ketosis. At this point keeping balance is what I try to do right on the edge of ketosis. When your in ketosis your in fat burning mode and your body tends to be homeostasis or rather body functioning like when you were young. The only drawback need to take pre and probiotics and digestive enzymes because pooping becomes a little difficult. Other than that feel great all day good sleep. Also to address the sugar cravings I make my own low calorie zero sugar desserts. I make brownies, chocolate bars, cup cakes, pancakes etc. Not quite like the real thing but pretty close and it’s satisfying. Next recipe I’m going to attempt is Sugar free low fat NY style cheese cake. Good luck
You go girl! Nurse here, and I just want to tell you congrats and thank you for sharing your story. It makes me so happy to see people taking charge of their health and feeling soooo much better. You are amazing and an inspiration!
@susansilvey1614 lol no it doesn't... you think that because the bacteria growing in your gut sends a chemical signal to your brain that makes you crave shit like sugar and carbs. It doesn't help you produce dopamine...
@@susansilvey1614where did you hear that??? Sugar is not required for your body to produce dopamine... when you have sex, you get a huge dopamine rush. Same as doing drugs, drinking alcohol, eating sugar, etc. Sugar is not necessary for dopamine production...
The biggest thing I noticed is that in the thumbnails of your earliest videos, you had tons of inflammation, causing the high color in your face - your color looks so much more even and glowing. I’m starting carnivore this coming week, and I’m excited to see what happens! Thanks for your testimony!
remember no soda ,sugar, bread, no more biscuits and gravy while trying to kick sugar, i would shake: so when I would got the shakes I would have A tic tac. it was enough sugar to stop shakes but not re addict. I started carnivore jan.1 to march 30. I lost 35 lb. and a list of aliments, including shortness of breath, arthritis ,warts skin tags. 220lb to 185lb. you can to it.. joe
Congratulations on not falling in to the body positive trap. Also, congratulations on knowing your limitations and coming up with a way to overcome them. You will help many people in your situation with your journey. Keep it up. I'm proud of you. 🙂
I'm very happy for you 😁. I'm 58, insulin dependent, handicapped and 228 pounds . I'm going to follow your example. I need to get better. I'm a grandma of 11 children. I've got to be able to do more. Thank you for this 😊
Grab yourself the book Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg! it will help you make the tiny permanent changes and being consistent that is the #1 most important thing!!
My husband reversed his diabetes. He was also insulin dependent. Thru nutrition in general (not carnivore). He was on Lantus and metformin. He no longer requires ANY MEDS. Nutrition in general should always be our 1st medicine. Idk how we as people, forgot this and got dependent on doctors in the 1st place. We need to take our power back as people!!!
That's wonderful! Carnivore is very easy to eat. It's very hard to let go of sugar and carbs. I'd like to say that there are videos by Dr Ken Berry and Steak and Butter Gal. They have good ideas to keep up on Carnivore. Lifestyle journey change is great!
User, good luck with it all, you can do it, this lady is lovely she’s very inspiring. Can I suggest you watch Dr Jason Fung he helps you reverse type 2 diabetes, he has a book called the Diabetes codes . I’ll be watching this young lady again. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
You're beautiful. Thanks for your open story about your journey and I'm so glad for you that you are moving forward and winning! Keep going and never give up!
I have a lot of respect for the fact that you noticed your binge-eating problem and solved it by switching to a diet that prevents it. That's much smarter than trying and failing "balanced" BS diets like most people do. I switched to carnivore for the same reason. Although I was already lean when I started (through lots of willpower), I was just tired of thinking about my next meal all day.
It's almost impossible to binge a ton of calories on a mostly meat diet or a super craving. The big issues with binging and hard cravings come from sugars, carbohydrates and junk food. Yeah you can stuff your face with meat, but you'll be STUFFED before you've eaten a certain number of calories.... on the other hand, if that's cake or cookies or Oreos...... you'll easily double or triple the calories and insulin spike from that meat "binge".

I just started carnivore and today is my third day. the sugar craving was SO BAD yesterday and i was craving junk food as well. a friend of mine said to just eat sugar once every couple of days or once a week and i told them i wouldn't be able to stop myself if i splurge once every couple of days and i would end up giving up and they just gave me a weird stare -_- if i splurge occasionally, i know i won't be able to stick with it. addiction is real man. one slip up, it's most likely over for you.
You're wrong, you ARE someone special! :) Not only are you making healthy changes for yourself, you're trying to help others while doing so. Proud of you, keep going!! God bless you
No she's not, she UNDERSTANDS IT NOW, she's not special untill she actually starts contribution to society , it is exactly such people like you who say"you are beautiful as you are, you are good as you are, you are ok, you are fine, whatever this kind of crap makes people demotivate and spiral them down into depression, you are not ok, BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS BE BETTER. this is the message should be given I absolutely hate fat slobs , but I have 180• shift to the people who actually turn their life around from laziness to pure strength not only in mind but their body. She is still on a journey she can be better
I work in the ICU as a RRT and just about everyone I see is a chronic patient that could be attributed to lifestyle and especially sugar. Obesity will shorten your life and life quality and makes any other illness you get 10x worse. I'm really happy to see you woke up to the food lies, especially about hunger. I also do OMAD and no sugar. Everyone asks me how I don't get "hangry" or moody. And I tell them its because I'm not an addict. And that conceiving of it this way and categorizing any processed food as a poisonous consumable can change how you eat. The thing is, most people think they feel alright and arent ready to make the switch. I was never obese, but I had other inflammation issues that motivated me. Thanks for your video, I'm gonna use it as a reference for people that I talk to at work.
The medical profession seems to be waking up to the idea of eliminating carbs. Still a lot that stick to eat less and move more. But that is like asking an alchoholic to drink in moderation.
I've been watching you since your FIRST post. I nearly died Jan 2022, and in desperation, I went carnivore. I was so WORRIED for your health when you first started, because you were so sick and I understand! Now your skin is glowing!!! You may have had a lot of calories but you were dying and malnutritioned. Anyone can see your body is getting highly nutritional REAL foods now. You are healing and your biology has changed dramatically. YOU are a blessing!!!!
I am keto, which is very close to carnivore. And everything you are saying is exactly right. Most of our ailments come from sugar and wheat. Cutting carbs out and utilizing fat is the fast tract to clean out blood and energize our bodies. So inspired by you! ❤
@@tilapiadave3234 not really, they are actually very close. Only thing you eat in keto that you don’t in carnivore is basically some side veggie like carrots, and even then some carnivores do eat also a little bit of veggies. So yes, very close. Ofc there’s a lot of variations to both of these diets.
@@glaeli1184 No ,, YOU are COMPLETELY WRONG. They are NOT similar at all. Your knowledge of Keto is very limited , now please go and learn then come back and apologize to the audience.
This is maybe the most genuine, sincere, and life affirming testimonial about a diet I’ve ever seen. I really hope you are doing well. There’s no doubt that this video has helped, informed, and inspired many people.
What a great story. I'm old lady but when I was young we were told to limit meat and eat huge amounts of veggies. I LOOKED great, size 4. I felt awful, like I was on the verge on hypoglycemia ll the time. Now I'm 77. I eat bacon and eggs for breakfast. A salad with lots of chicken for lunch and that's it. My eating window is about 6 hours and I feel great.Never hungry. Good blood pressure, and I'm very active. YOU are a very smart woman. You discovered the real path to good health earlier in life. Thanks for sharing you journey with us!
I’m 82 and have had so many food allergies. Eleven days on all meat. No stomach issues, eat plenty. Feel great, arthritis, leg and arm muscles do not hurt as much. Can only get better!!
So happy for you!!! I'm 67 and I had 41 illnesses listed at my Philadelphia hospital. Now I'm down to 2. No more diabetes, hbp, arthritis, ulcerative colitis, fatty liver, pacreatistis, 3rd stage kidney disease and on an on. Sugar is poison. No matter what form.
At the end of January 2023, I was in a situation much like the one where you started. I’ll try to be brief! I turned 74 years old on January 30th of this year, weighed 308 pounds, and felt like I was dying. Could walk only a few steps, had frequent chest pain and just felt like giving up. I happened upon a TH-cam video about someone on a Carnivore diet-I don’t even remember who it was and I wasn’t certain it made sense. At that point I too, over many years, had tried all kinds of different diets which I always failed at within 6 weeks or less. Falling off the wagon with a bingeing episode was always the culprit because, every so often, I just couldn’t make myself stop eating. When I had an episode I felt like a failure and thought I’m just destined to always be fat. Anyway, when I watched that TH-cam video on the Carnivore diet, I thought “well that will be simple-just eat meat.” I started it on February 1st and, although it was doable, I had some rough moments for the first 2-3 weeks. I don’t think it was craving stuff as much as it was withdrawing from sugar and carbs. After that period, it got better and easier-not always a party but reasonable. Little by little I started feeling better. The chest pain stopped, as did a constant irregular heart beat. My average resting heart rate at night went from 93 to 62 according to my Apple Watch. My glucose level came down from 160 plus to an average of 88 by the middle of March 2023-I had not expected that much of a drop. If I’m not careful, it drops into the low 70’s. As of this morning my weight is at 252. Down from 308. In any case, I am doing better than I ever would have dreamed for someone my age. Life isn’t perfect as I still have considerable knee pain if I walk very far and my vision has taken a beating from years of diabetes. That said, I’m able to stay on this Carnivore diet without feeling like I’m being deprived of what tastes good to me. I eat steak, chicken, fish, eggs, butter, and cheese. (Almost forgot: 2 cups of coffee with a little half & half every morning). My goal is to get my weight down to 200 lbs. That’s my honest story. I appreciate your video as I can identify with it and confirm what you say. Thank you. Steve
I just discovered this channel today. I am so happy! Like you I am in my 70's, and need to take weight off so I can walk. I need to have a hip replacement, but I'm hoping that doing this diet will help me postpone the operation. I have back pain to the point I have to use crutches to walk so I am praying that the carnivore diet will help me with that also.. Congratulations to you for giving it a try and being so successful! Your post has given me the encouragement I desperately needed! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! ❤️❤️😊
@@annasyndergaard1162 I’m so happy that it was an encouragement to you. My knees were so painful before I started on the carnivore diet. After 131 days, my right knee has completely stopped hurting and my left knee is much better. Best wishes for your health and let me know if I can ever answer any questions. God bless, Steve
Congrats on your success!!! I was literally the same weight at 360lbs last May! I started eating keto/ carnivore, intermittent fasting and got back into weight lifting and walking at least 30 minutes a day. I don’t do full carnivore since I put milk in my coffee and occasionally have vegetables (with butter and bacon 🤤) I am now down to 273 after one year. If I only knew I could eat butter, steak, cheese and be healthy I probably wouldn’t have binged on cookies and snacks or fast food. Keep up the amazing work!
You are still keeping your carb processing mechanism active. This tends to slow down your metabolism to cope with a limited supply. Give the full carb a month and see how quickly your system adapts.
Hubby ate carnivore last week and lost his sholder pain and 6 lbs. He is convinced. I know I mentioned it once before, but your skin is glowing, you look so young and healthy. You set such a good example!
You look AMAZING! You had enough and took control - despite the propaganda of ‘moderation’, you resisted and stepped out - likely without any support from a doctor. What an inspiration! Praise be to God! Persevere girl!
This video may have just saved my life. I needed this so badly. "You do not get 360lbs by knowing how to moderate" girlfriend this is ME. I just subbed and plan to watch them ALL over the next few months. So excited to start this journey. Thank you for these videos and for all you are doing for people!
You are a gift! I don't have any eating/weight issues but your sincerity, honesty and passion are heartwarming and well worth watching. I wish you the best on your journey.
So excited for you!! Thank you for your wonderful share❤ I too have had an eating disorder. I was an anorectic subtype B/P. I started my anorexia at age 18. I did not purge until I was 25. Once I started purging it was a crazy free for all to deal with my emotions this way for the next 35 years. I was in and out of treatment when I starved myself because I was purging everything. I too tried every healthy way of eating advertised. I still had physical issues. I developed a colitis, signs of Type 2 Diabetes my glucose would spike with food with sugars I didn’t realize was in the food I ate. This was followed by a surge of insulin and my blood sugar would drop to the 40’s. This has continued for the next 5 years. I finally realized with the help of TH-cam videos such as yours and similar podcasts I was eating wrong. It was because everyone I was listening to only taught the food groups. My body couldn’t tolerate eating this way. I learned from these podcasts. I eat meat now where I was once told it was unhealthy. I make sure it is grass fed, no antibiotics and free roaming range so they can eat natural grass freely. I will continue to also eat fish and chicken of high quality, eggs and butter that also come from these healthy animals. Within weeks my glucose spikes are gone and my blood pressure is in normal range. I feel calm and more at ease. Thank you for sharing your truth to help others find their way through this crazy world of food and health.
I just have to say it made me so happy to see your story. I was so sick 5 years ago that I literally wanted to die. I was in 3rd stage kidney disease,and had to use a cane to walk. I started eating low carb and my results have also been amazing. I am down to 100 pounds now,and at 50,I feel like I did when I was in my 20s. I believe that sugars and carbohydrates are poison. Like you,I have learned to eat to live,not live to eat. I think lots of people will benefit from watching your video.
You are doing extraordinarily well. You are a real inspiration. I am 4 days into exercise everyday and strict keto.. when I listen to your video it pushes me forward. Thank you for sharing this…from east Tennessee.
Great work Amanda! My wife is 74, I'm 70. We're just transitioning. You are an inspiration to many, I'm sure. We listened to Jordan Peterson, a good source, and others corroborate your experience. It seems to help with auto immune disorders I'm hearing. Stay true to yourself, great personal insights and awareness you've gained.
I am glad you two are starting, so much better health. I made a video for those starting so they know what to expect, here is also an update on autoimmune. th-cam.com/video/1z3uJEPBrNI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/nL_yTlV-v10/w-d-xo.html
The biggest problem with the overweight sick people I know is denial. Anytime I try to talk with them (kindly & compassionately) they usually respond with “oh that doesn’t work” “ that’s not good for you”, “you can’t believe everything you read on line”, “it’s because of my medication” bla bla bla. Great job Amanda, keep up the good work!
Denial or self inflicted stupidity. Recently, I just decided to go no sugar, like ice cream, pastries, no sugar in coffee, soda pop, ect. I was going to eat healthy from now on and lose some weight. I went to Costco and bought what I thought was good . I bought some keto bars, pom pom juice, dried mangos, cashews, some gummy vitamins, Fresh berry's and a box of organic apples and a bag of carrots. No meat. Sounds healthy, right? Cost me over $100. And I gained weight fast. Finally I read the labels, and to my surprise every thing I bought was high high sugar. Every darn thing has sugar in it. And because I thought I was being healthy, I snacked on these foods freely. I am going to eat meat, (which by the way protein breaks down into a sugar product during digestion. Read it on line when asking for no sugar foods). Honestly, I don't feel hunger. Just an impulse thought that something might be good to eat. I will try your one big meal a day and no big sugar items and see if I can lose like you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and examples.. So happy for you. Keep posting. Your my inspiration now.
@@captainpearly3994 nope lol, you lost me at dried mangos, protein bars & pom juice. Glad you started reading labels & educating yourself. So much hidden sugar in stuff touted as healthy.
Incredible story! I’m 5+ months carnivore, over 40 and feeling the best I have in over 10 years. Love ❤ to hear these stories and people improving their lives.
I'm on day 10 of the carnivore diet and my cravings are a constant battle. I have spent the entire day so far on TH-cam looking for motivation. You have explained my my food addiction in a way that motivates me to never give up. Thank you, Amanda!!! I have listened to your video a few times and saved it for when I need help again.
Tips (I know where you are coming from; I had the same issues): Add (more) salt or electrolytes (like an unflavoured powder) Eat more fat (just put a little butter on all meat) Drink more water Eat ENOUGH food, especially in the beginning (Doctor Ken Berry says, "until you are comfortably stuffed") Eat when you're hungry and stop when food seems "meh, I'm good!" for you
Addendum: I made the mistake of not eating enough initially. Once I ate more (coming from a calorie counting background, this was difficult for me at first), drank more water and added salt/electrolytes, the cravings (and even just thinking about food) died down ultimately, and the weight (i.e. fat & excess water-weight) began to drop, consistently.
Thank you for making this video. This is a duplicate of my entire life…EXACTLY. I’ve only been doing Carnevore for almost 2 weeks now. I’m 72 years old and ready to just give up. Your video has given me hope and I really needed that. Of course I’m already getting bashed about this diet is not healthy. I’m sorry but if my RA, Fibromyalgia and Diabetes can improve…I say YES. You go girl. You’re an inspiration for all.
I’ve read the first few weeks are hard because your body is flushing all the toxins. Stay strong and don’t listen to the doubters. Other diets weren’t working. I’m getting started this weekend. I can’t wait to see how I feel. The food industry and medical field keep you sick to make money. They don’t want to be honest with us. I’ve seen numerous people get bloodwork on this diet and their numbers are all healthier. So there is something to this. Good luck and I hope you continue to feel better. Get stronger and happier. ❤️❤️
@@Oneminutemindfulness Totally agree. A friend of mine, and his wife, have been on the carnivore diet for over 2 years. They get checked out regularly by their doctor and all signs point to health. It's crazy. I'm quite overweight and need to take control. I gotta stop being lazy about starting this
I’m 59, I went Carnivore and my RA is in remission/gone! I take zero meds now! I was on 3 allergy meds and have no allergies now! I’ve lost 70lbs since 7/7/22!
The first week or 2 can be hard. because our body is going through withdrawal from the sugar and carbs. Try taking a teaspoon of mct oil to fight fatigue or brain fog. it really helps and makes you feel full for hours also. I've been doing this diet for 3 weeks now and feel so much better than before! also down 13 pounds. All of our illnesses have been from the food we eat and I can't beleive I just now realized this! trying to only eat in a 6 to 8 hour window is helpful also. fasting will heal us faster than anything!
Amanda I’m so proud of you and happy for you. I’m sharing this video with my daughter who is suffering like you were. I think food allergies and inflammation are so much of her issues. I want her to try carnivore so bad. I believe it will help her too. You are an inspiration. God bless you.
Thank you so much, Amanda. I am so glad you saw the light in your early 30's. I'm 75 and just beginning the Carnivore diet. That was an inspirational talk.
Wow, girl....SOOO proud of you--AMAZING! You have really inspired me, as I'm 68 and have been a binge-eater most of my adult life, too, I actually started Keto 12 days ago, but after seeing this video, I think I will try just going carnivore. THANK YOU for your awesome testimony, and for inspiring so many of us to press in and go for it--WHAT AN ENCOURAGEMENT YOU ARE! THANK YOU!
I’ve been a binge eater/sugar junkie since childhood as well and I’ve found since practicing fasting and now adding in keto, it’s really making a difference in my binges. When I do slip out of the keto way, I definitely feel a difference physically.
Congratulations Amanda on your diet success and your channel's success as well! It is amazing to see how many people you have inspired and touched along the way.
I would love an update from you today. Personally myself, all of my arthritis is gone and I am at an ideal weight. I wish the same for everybody. Keep going, girl.
BtW, Potatoes Turn into SUGAR ! This is Also Good: 20 Foods You'll Never Eat Again After Knowing How It's Made th-cam.com/video/s1GOLbadEdA/w-d-xo.html
Congratulations! I was just shy of 360 lbs. in 2017. I struggled with weight issues since I was 10 (66 now). Listened to doctors and charlatans for decades, and only gained more! I started Keto-Carnivore and in 3 years dropped 165 lbs. I gained back about 30 lbs. "relaxing" into more Keto but I'm doing more K-C and gradually moving towards full Carnivore. Oddly enough though, I'm finding it more difficult to quit broccoli, asparagus, and mushrooms than pizza, ice cream, and chips five years ago!
I have moved to whole food only, no processed foods and want to go carnivore but I know when I don't eat fresh veg for a few days(pre whole foods) I go a little( more) crazy so I really worry l need veg. I have a huge veg garden too. Scarred to take the next step.
@@vanessarheadart9708 Very understandable and there's no one size fit's all diet despite what the vegans will tell you, May I recommend on TH-cam: Dr. Ken Berry and Steak and Butter Gal. They will both also have interviews with both medical doctors and others who have successfully lost weight and got healthier-in some cases many years-on the Carnivore Diet.
“I was a binge eater” instead of “I am…” has been a powerful change to help me reprogram my mind and my impulses. Our brains will organize around the words we ‘feed’ it. Congrats! Inspiring story and life changing video, I hope it reaches many
the biggest deception is that our health is someone else's responsibility
This is very true actually. I've worked in health care doing physical therapy, cant tell you how many people expected that I made their doctors appointments when I suggested they might want to see a specialist. Always blew my mind, isn't your health YOUR health, why expect someone to do it?
Somewhat true...however we are not given the truth . Who knew that TH-cam docs would be the key to the truth and s healthy woe! I am age 65 and almost a year and half ago, reversed t2d, lost 78 lbs and labs excellent for first time in my life! The Am. Diabetes Ass. should be criminally charged for the woe they promote to "manage" diabetes. Made me sicker and sicker.
For true responsibility we need true autonomy.
We come into the world within nature but we grew up there in an artificial cage created by a handful of individuals who have hijacked the laws of nature. A panoply of problems ensued, in order to come up with an artificial solution to the unnatural problem they created. So I believe that yes ultimately we must take back our responsibility for our health, but how much of our suffering is caused by this masquerade of generation after generation conditioning?
Ps , sorry I use google translate from french.
@@richardcardinale7152 well said
@@richardcardinale7152 Yes, I wholeheartedly agree. No need for apology. Your message came through clear. We indeed need true autonomy. We need true autonomy informed by truthful accurate factual information on the background and history on exactly what it is to be human (from a metabolic perspective). Humans unknowingly made a "Faustian Bargain" with carbohydrates within the past 6,000 to 12,000 years as we transitioned from being primarily carnivores to omnivores to what it has become today. Today, large segments of our modern society are unknowingly living out their lives in a "gilded cage" of ignorance not ever knowing or experiencing the freedom and truth of what it is to be metabolically human. Humans do have an innate limited tolerance for carbohydrates, but that is not to say that chronic carbohydrate consumption is in any way metabolically good or healthy for us over the long term. The best that can be said about carbohydrates is that they can prevent us from starving to death when meat is in critically short supply. Large segments of our modern society have not only impinged upon, but wholly blown past and depleted our innate metabolic tolerance for carbohydrates.
One can readily acknowledge that carbohydrates have enabled humans to socially and technologically change from primitive nomadic hunter gatherers into our modern society. Carbohydrates allowed for the establishment and development of permanent settlements, towns, cities, culture, free time, regular group conversation, intellectual collaboration, development of ideas, experimentation, inventions, technology, and manufacturing. Stored carbohydrates allowed for humans to remain safely in one place without starving to death during times of seasonal and/or unusual drought and famine affecting the availability of local game. Without carbohydrates, agriculture, and the associated transportation and storage of grains and vegetables we would still be living as primitive nomadic hunter gathers depending on the pursuit of fresh game for our daily sustenance. Depending on ones perspective, one can either thank or curse carbohydrates for the sociological and technological changes that have occurred over the past 6,000 or so years. Despite the rapid sociological and technological changes that have occurred over the past 6,000 or so years, humans remain immutable carnivores that have zero adaptive capacity to change the innate physiological and metabolic nature of their carnivore digestive tract that evolved over the preceding 2 to 4 million years of the human lineage. A dissection and examination of the digestive tract of a human that lived 5,000 years ago is physiologically indistinguishable from that of a modern human. Nothing has changed. From a metabolic and physiological perspective we are living at odds with our innate and immutable carnivore nature and thus in a state of chronic debilitating metabolic distress caused by daily consumption of the standard western diet. Metabolically, carbohydrates consumption should be the rare life saving emergency exception rather than the rule.
I don't completely agree the problem is caused by a handful of individuals. In my opinion, the problem was originally rooted in scientific ignorance, business, and economics motivated by profit. With respect to the USA, it is now sustained by an amalgam of politically active vigilant transnational businesses and industries (primarily agriculture, food manufacturing, restaurant, medicine, health insurance, pharma, and the various coordinating trade organizations and lobbyists they financially support and control) who currently profit from the status quo and who are aligned and actively work to cooperatively sabotage and resist any change to the status quo for wholly self-serving financial reasons. They will never be caught off guard or asleep at the switch when it comes to the bottom line. They are always playing political chess thinking many moves into the future.
Unfortunately, for the time being I expect no meaningful changes to public policy or government funded scientific research with respect to the health benefits of a low carb or carnivore diet. Business, industry, and trade organization lobbying has those avenues pretty well locked down and under control to preclude any government led changes to the status quo. Their are no elected or appointed government officials who will challenge the lobbying power of these politically coordinating businesses and industries. Those who would dare to do so will be quickly dispatched from their positions.
100lbs in 8 months is quite an achievement. Very well done !

Well said!
It us not possible for all people to eat only meat. There never was a country where people eat only meat. This would destroy our planet. This is a fake commentator side. All agree!

@@CarnivorousMe1 Great for you! Lots of us have discovered this. Apparently, the entire whole-grains and fruit low meat, low fat eating plan was pushed by a doctor who was taking money from the sugar industry to make fats the enemy and make fat the "cause" of heart disease rather than carbohydrates and the inflammation they cause in your body. The rest of the medical profession drank the cool-aid and went back for more. Now that the medical profession has backed this obviously wrong food pyramid they refuse to change back because they wear dogma coats and eat dogma for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have a doctor friend who directs you to the information on this diet but can not recommend it or personally give you information because the medical association would take his medical license for going against dogma. You can add low carbohydrate veg and fruits in low amounts (i.e. a couple of strawberries or some bell pepper). Just remember, if it is made from grain or has sugar in it -- don't eat it. This is the REAL reason why baby boomers and the greatest generation were not as obese as us, they didn't eat as much carbohydrates (check a 1940s cook book)
You go girl!!!! Me and my husband went Keto/Carnivore 8 months ago and we’ve never felt better! No sugar, no grains, no starch. We still do a few veggies like broccoli, green beans, asparagus, avocados and peppers mainly. I’m 57 and post menopausal. I’m doing OMAD and the weight I had been slowly gaining for the last 20 years is gone!!! I’m so happy for you! Spread the word!!! That crappy food pyramid that big food has been shoving down our throats for 50 years is total bullshit!
So true, the original American pyramid suggest 6-11 servings of bread, cereal, rice and pasta per day. Which is, well, a hell of a lot if you actually think about it. According to Luise Light, one of the people who worked for the USDA during the time the pyramid was being developed, this was due to interference from food industry giants as well. How does she know this? Well, she was the leader of a group of top nutritionists who developed the original food pyramid for the United States before it got “sold to the highest bidder” as she put it. So yeah... we really can't trust what has been told to us for years and years.
Carbs make you hungry meat stops the hunger.

Not with organic 100% grass fed and finished no hormones no antibiotics grown beef and other meat. No farm fish. Eat wild only. No hormone cheese. Fertile all range eggs.
It is the unhealthy way meat and fish is grown that causes hormone problems. Don’t yell expensive either because you aren’t buying junk.
Yes, agreed. The food pyramid is very wrong
The "triangle food pyramid" = the LIE shoved down our throats by Gov and Big pharma the results was 3 generations of overweight sick ridded ppl, dependant of big pharma "drugs and treatments"..
My journey largely mirrors yours. I have lost 115 lbs and my autoimmune issues are completely remitted. My clinical depression in GONE. I went from 5 daily medications to ZERO. Carnivore saved my life.
Wooohooo!!!! 💕🥰
@@CarnivorousMe1 let's see a even newer you in January 2024.
Go girl
Congratulations that's awesome 👌
Brilliant
Fantastic!!!
I've been on Carnivore since April 7 and as of today, I'm literally down 50lbs! My diagnosis are dropping like flies!
Your doctor is gonna lose a patient $$$. I'm sure they'll suggest you change your diet in order to be in "better health"
@@JandS-y1o my doc asked me how I lost so much weight. Told her. She said “watch your fats” 🙄 looking for a new doctor.
Yes but...but cow farts!
Same here.
My doctors told me to stop eating bacon eggs and butter because my cholesterol/blood pressure went up😮
Congratulations! As an ER nurse, I'm so happy you were able to take control of your health. Diet is our number one cause for poor health. And we're lied to about what to eat!
I ended up weighing 300 pounds because I ate everything my parents gave me when it was offered. (I'm old) It never occurred to me to refuse meals, as we were shamed for not CLEANING THE PLATE. Cheers to the resigned members of the clean plate club! I've had to relearn everything I was taught as a child.
Now we are hearing about oxalate. It seems the list of healthy foods are shrinking. Spinach almonds etc etc are now unhealthy.
Facts!
It’s not that spinach and almonds are unhealthy, but large amounts of spinach and almonds are very unhealthy. Don’t eat 5 cups of spinach a day with a cup of almonds a day. I have 5 cups of spinach within a week and one cup of almonds within a week. That’s the issue with people who might’ve been binge eating cake switching to binge eating healthy foods, that’s not healthy either. It’s a chemical overload on your system that your system isn’t able to balance and process without side effects. However, a mix of greens, even at 5 cups a day is typically fine, but sometimes have soup or grilled veggies, 1 cups of mostly water almond milk is way easier on you than one whole cup of almonds every day to make a giant keto mug cake out of. See?
What I do to avoid issues from oxalates- don’t binge on high oxalate foods such as soda, soy, almonds, chocolate, or spinach. When you have a salad make it mixed power greens and add a dressing of vinegar, cold pressed olive oil, and lemon juice, drink several cups of lemon water per day(this breaks down any potential kidney stones so you don’t have them pass), stay hydrated, take Cal Meg D at “night,” and really start your day with that lemon water or ACV and lemon water.
I don’t know you but I can honestly say I’m so proud of you.
Same! She is Adorable!

Yes. I'm not an addictive personality, and most things tell when you've had enough. I can moderate alcohol and other drugs based on how I feel. I couldn't ever really do that with carbs, there was enough delay to allow the binge, and not enough down side 4 hours later to stop you doing it again. Have been Carnivore since 2018. Too many cheat days (ice-cream...it's basically beef isn't it!) means I have wavered and struggled, but I lost 30 lbs and gained health and life benefits. Currently I've been very good for 3 months and my scales just dipped into the 192 range which I've not been since maybe 2008. I actually want to find out what it feels like to be fit this time, be the best me I can be at 50.
Yet, here she is moderating!!!
Our food is engineered for people like her. It is addictive on purpose and terrible. Carbs are the devil. Doctors know it for should but they have been brainwashed by the $.
@ccsmooth55 And self-awareness.
Carnivore and OMAD here... Simply awesome! Nowadays I call carnivore a MIRACLE. Yes, with capital letter. ;-)
I had an eating disorder too, called being vegetarian for over 20 years. My health collapsed. I also thought about food every 2 hours. Now I'm going on three years on carnivore. All my problems resolved. I'm 52 and on no medications. So happy for you!

@@hwilcox Have you changed your diet from vegetarian? What symptoms did you have from the oxalates? I hope you can heal your gut issues.

Your alcoholic analogy is exactly what I tell people, when they don't understand why I decline cakes and candy. I am a sugarholic and if I start I am not able to stop. Like an alocholic, a sugarholic can not just drink/eat a little bit - it spirals out of control every time.

This is outstanding. Life is supposed to be about living, not about suffering. Carnivore is definitely working for her.
Kudos for 1) seeing the problem 2) taking responsibility and 3) having the strength to do something about it. Seriously, good work.
Too right.
Great work! Like you I was 400 lbs and with the Keto and carnivore I lost my first 100 lbs in about 8-9 months. I then incorporated intermediate and long term fasting and now by this month will have lost 200 lbs. My goal is 180 which I will achieve by March. The process of 'Autophagy' is amazing! Anyone can lose any amount of weight they desire 'safely' as I can attest to. My sleep apnea, high insulin, heart issues and even my psoriasis are gone! Keep this in mind all of you reading this that think you 'can't' do it, I'm 67! God Bless! Dave, NJ
Fantastic Dave, thank you so much for posting. I am very happy for you and your health. That is a great testimonial
I need to do this... I'm 56 yrs old and weigh 370lbs and I'm 6'3"... been an avid, serious weight ifter since my US Marine Corps days and I'm built like a NFL lineman but not a huge belly or legs... but I have sleep apnea and prediabietic and I'm doing the intermittent fasting now with some success... any advice is much appreciated!
Wow, I'm 66 and weigh 270. It's extremely hard for me to lose weight. I have congestive heart failure, severe sleep apnea, arthritis and mild high BP. I'm not depressed bc I have a close relationship with Jesus. Altho I'm very embarrassed about my size and limited mobility. I can do relate to your constant food focus.

Nothing to lose but bad health! Hang in there!!! You’re smashing it day by day!
Wow great job walking, keep it up !!!!
Way to go! Here's my embarrassing story. I'm a 71yo man that is 20 pounds over weight. Not in great shape. Basically healthy my whole life. I have played with keto and carnivore several times. Always quitting. Figuring out how to cheat and take the easy way. I know that is hurting my health and longevity. But more so my family. Don't take this comment wrong. You have truly inspired me to be a stronger person.
Now, let's see if I change.
I have never 'hit the bell' button in my entire life. I did it for your channel.
How are you holding up?
I hope things are going well for you.
None of this is true
Change to carnivore and you wont be upset by that change! You will find that you dont need or want to cheat. Im on it for a few years now and its still amazing!
I have reversed my diabetes as well. So happy for you, I lost 42 lbs so far.
YAYYA!
Please tell me , u reversed diabetes from carnivore, pls help a sister out. All my bsugars are off the chain. Keto is not work for me.
@@anniedodd1685 It does happen to some. There could be a lot more sugar stored in your body and it needs to be used up. Or you could eat a SMALL amount of sweet potato or carrots so that your body has a little coming in and can ease off emptying all your stores. If you have stopped the diet when this reaches you - please give it another try. Judge how you feel so you know you are doing okay with it. Also be aware that some people have incredibly high blood sugar in the morning which only drops when they eat something (not a banquet) to get the insulin production going.
Look up Dr Mandell, he has a bunch of remedies that can help @anniedodd1685
Omg! She binge eating. She said she can’t self moderate. That’s me! How wonderfully honest of her. Thank you so much xxxx
I can't moderate either, sugar or alcohol!
I was carnivore for 3 years before my dog died and then shortly after that the lockdown began. I spiraled into loneliness and depression that took me three years to get back on the wagon again beginning January this year. Your video is heaven sent. A source of motivation and inspiration in a way you will never fully understand. Thank you so much for sharing your ongoing journey. What a blessing !
Oh I am so sorry for you losing your puppers, it is such a horrible loss losing such a loved one 😔
My journey parallels yours, timing wise. Back on the bandwagon doing keto since January 1.
Sorry for the loss of your beloved pet.
While I didn’t experience any tragedy during the pandemic lockdowns, my very disciplined health conscious lifestyle was completely obliterated due to gym closings and irregular food supplies and can’t neglect the mental toll. I am as well just now trying to get back on the bandwagon.
I just found you and I’m so glad I did! You’re an inspiration ❤. I’ve been on this journey since March 2020 and I see Dr. Cywes. I love and can relate to everything you just said!
I feel food industry is in bed with Pharma and Medical industry. Their goals are to create steady stream of customers . Tobacco industry was putting chemicals in tobacco that made you even more addicted which made it impossible to quit. We are living in a evil world of Zionist Rothschilds Criminal Central Bankers who own everything and are using us like lab rats for their benefit. The shackles of deceit and the fake reality must be broken at all costs. Time of being a useful Goyem must come to an end.

It works for everyone it’s the human diet. Plants are killing us
What works for her is what works for everyone because this is the optimum human diet. we are the same animals. this works for us because this is how we are supposed to eat. when we added wheat into our diets 10,000 years ago, infant mortality was higher and people were smaller and sicker from then on. what works for her? that's what people say to me and it's just ridiculous. do some research. there's tons of it now on carnival.
I have yet to see a person where this diet DOESN'T work. We've been eating meat for 3.4 million years. We're meat eaters, whether we like it or not.
We don't have the capacity to supply meat to billjons of people every day, so I'm just fine letting most people not believe in meat eating.

Thanks for sharing your journey. I am 2 months carnivore and loving it! I’m losing weight but the non-scale victories are what motivates me to keep going. There are several but the miracle of miracles is something I never even expected to get from carnivore. I have been incontinent for about 30 years. My weekly trash is mostly diapers. Gross! Now, I don’t have this problem at all. I can go anywhere without worrying that I’m going to leak through my clothes. I’m not even wearing any pads anymore, not even a pantiliner! I am free of this burden now. There are others, but this is the big one that I didn’t even think that carnivore could fix.

Thankyou,God.
So, I hate to bring science into this discussion, but your weight loss isn't fromyour carnivore diet.. it is from eating fewer calories. Calories in/out isn't a myth, it's a reality. You can get the same results by eating a balanced diet with the same calories. This is just another fad diet that 99% of people are NOT going to be able to do long term.
but you have to keep it up...nothing else but meats

It’s not the carnivore diet. It’s because you are practicing self-control and watching what you eat instead of gorging.
@@lang-ed3bkShe is actually practicing Intermittent Fasting. ( the woman doing the video)
@lang-ed3bk which is done best on this healthy diet 😂
I used to think about food the same way a junky thinks about the next fix. It was without end. I could be stuffed and uncomfortable and still looking for more carbs to snack on. Much like you going carnivore has dramatically helped with that.
Losing the cravings and feeling satiated are essential. I thought about food all day long whenever I was on a diet. “When can I eat next? What kind of snack can I have? I need dessert to finish this off.” I finally tried keto and everything fell into place…without the white knuckling! I am so happy for you that you slew your food demons! And thank you for sharing your story! We all need to hear this.
I feel the same way. To be no longer be a slave to cravings and hunger is fantastic.

Girl, thank you for showing the world it can be done and it's not a matter of "genetics". You are what you eat.
Move, eat healthy and you can get anywhere.
I cut carbs and sugar and ate meat , even veggies. 3 months later I went from 205 lbs to 169lbs. A1C went from 6.4 to 5.4. I even ate bacon often and my cholesterol went from over 210 to 179 and triglycerides dropped to normal values. My liver enzymes went from 77 and 119 to 28 and 32 unreal. My liver enzymes haven’t been normal for years. I look good and feel good. I was pre diabetic now I’m back to healthy state. I also went from waist size 34-36 to 32. This woman is telling the truth.
@doves9204, There are 3 types of foods: Protein like eggs, meats, cheese, Fat, like butter, etc. and carbohydrates like breads, corn, all grains, beans, starchy vegi like potatoes, etc. Your body can and will use glucose, but it will be forced to use ketones, which is a breakdown of fat cells in the absence of glucose in blood! when you eat anything that contains carbs or sugar, including fruits, milk, carbs such as bread, corn, beans, barley or even any starchy or sweet vegi or potatoes, etc, they "all have carbs" and turn to glucose in blood causing pancreas to secrete insulin. This hormone, insulin, causes body to store fat! The beginning of bad news! you got to stop all carbs as much as possible to prevent/reduce the secretion of Insulin! when you don't eat those starchy or carb food your body, eventually after the depletion of glycogen, stored glucose, will be forced to break down your own body fat and breaks it down to ketones, which will be used by all your cells. If you continue this type of eating: non-starchy vegi, proteins like meats eggs, cheese, and yes fats like butter, etc. you start getting healthier and better, the lady is telling you the truth! I have been doing it too and have lost about 40 pounds in 2.5 months, and my blood sugar etc. all normal! I also add that I do not eat for 16 hours in between meals, and no it is not hard because when your body is using ketones you won't be hungry, and you get used to it! Do not listen to what you hear on the media, etc! Just do it and, good Lord's willing, you will be healthy again! There is just too much loss of money for the big corp, food industry, medical, ... to tell you the truth! They need and want customers to make their money! The good Lord has already given wisdom and the capacity to our bodies to heal itself for free! Just eat right and be patient and in a few months, you will be fine again! The lady is telling the truth! Thank you for coming out and telling the truth to people! God bless you!
@@doves9204I also am on a modified version of the diet, but not to lose weight, but to heal my gut. My daughter-in-law came up with a very simple dish that we all call Simple Beef. It is just hamburger cooked in a pot and then a can or two ( or better yet, fresh frozen green beans) added, and then seasoned. It satisfies your appetite and you can pull the left overs ( always keep some in your frig) out anytime you have a craving, and have a bowl. So simple and satisfying. I don't think the small amout of carbs in the green beans will hurt, and you should lose.your cravings for sweets. Try it. Ultra easy to make and it works wonders. Good luck. We season with lots of Season-It-All, or similar, onion salt, and garlic powder or salt.
I'm not clear about what you meant on vegetables; "I cut carbs and sugar and ate meat , even veggies". You eat veggies or, you cut them also?
@@doves9204how's it going? clearly you were ready to eliminate sugar and highly processed foods and go low carb and that's great. You may never want to try strict carnivore, which means only animal products. I usually eat relaxed carnivore and allow and some minor plant items for seasonings. God bless ❤️🙏❤️
@@doves9204
No carbs whatsoever even from fruits (sugar) for at least two weeks until your full blown ketosis. The first 3 weeks I lost 18 pounds then I started counting carbs no more than 30-40 g per day. When I finally lost 40 pounds and all my blood work was totally normal I started taking in a few more carbs but would back off when I would start getting out of ketosis. At this point keeping balance is what I try to do right on the edge of ketosis. When your in ketosis your in fat burning mode and your body tends to be homeostasis or rather body functioning like when you were young. The only drawback need to take pre and probiotics and digestive enzymes because pooping becomes a little difficult. Other than that feel great all day good sleep. Also to address the sugar cravings I make my own low calorie zero sugar desserts. I make brownies, chocolate bars, cup cakes, pancakes etc. Not quite like the real thing but pretty close and it’s satisfying. Next recipe I’m going to attempt is Sugar free low fat NY style cheese cake.
Good luck
Yay!! I’ve been carnivore for years. We LITERALLY have to ignore the modern day ideas of food and take our lives back. So glad you saved yours.
It's the processed foods...oils.. those are bad
I really believed that damn pyramid
“I was eating every emotion that I had.” Good phrase. 🏆
You go girl! Nurse here, and I just want to tell you congrats and thank you for sharing your story. It makes me so happy to see people taking charge of their health and feeling soooo much better. You are amazing and an inspiration!
sugar and carbohydrates addiction is real, great video.
Because dopamine production requires sugar
@susansilvey1614 lol no it doesn't... you think that because the bacteria growing in your gut sends a chemical signal to your brain that makes you crave shit like sugar and carbs. It doesn't help you produce dopamine...
@@susansilvey1614where did you hear that??? Sugar is not required for your body to produce dopamine... when you have sex, you get a huge dopamine rush. Same as doing drugs, drinking alcohol, eating sugar, etc. Sugar is not necessary for dopamine production...
Well that's what alcoholism is, right?
A sugar addict experiences withdrawal symptoms in the same say as a heroin addict?
Well done young lady!!! You’ve saved your own life!
Food has been weaponized against us. Your story is incredibly inspiring - and very proud of you. Your commitment is paying off!!!
100% true. Yes agreed.
You let this happen by voting for officials that are gladly accepting bribes.
and that is even more obvious when they want us to eat LESS meat or NO meat... we are MEANT to eat meat primarily...
It's not just food. Modern Western society tells us that we're "healthy at any size".
Couldn't agree more
Thank you for being a good role model and standing up for personal change ❤
The biggest thing I noticed is that in the thumbnails of your earliest videos, you had tons of inflammation, causing the high color in your face - your color looks so much more even and glowing. I’m starting carnivore this coming week, and I’m excited to see what happens! Thanks for your testimony!
remember no soda ,sugar, bread, no more biscuits and gravy while trying to kick sugar, i would shake: so when I would got the shakes I would have A tic tac. it was enough sugar to stop shakes but not re addict. I started carnivore jan.1 to march 30. I lost 35 lb. and a list of aliments, including shortness of breath, arthritis ,warts skin tags. 220lb to 185lb. you can to it.. joe
Congratulations on not falling in to the body positive trap. Also, congratulations on knowing your limitations and coming up with a way to overcome them. You will help many people in your situation with your journey. Keep it up. I'm proud of you. 🙂
Thank you so much!
I'm very happy for you 😁.
I'm 58, insulin dependent, handicapped and 228 pounds .
I'm going to follow your example.
I need to get better. I'm a grandma of 11 children. I've got to be able to do more.
Thank you for this 😊
Grab yourself the book Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg! it will help you make the tiny permanent changes and being consistent that is the #1 most important thing!!
You go girl... we are all with you..
My husband reversed his diabetes. He was also insulin dependent. Thru nutrition in general (not carnivore). He was on Lantus and metformin. He no longer requires ANY MEDS. Nutrition in general should always be our 1st medicine. Idk how we as people, forgot this and got dependent on doctors in the 1st place. We need to take our power back as people!!!
That's wonderful! Carnivore is very easy to eat. It's very hard to let go of sugar and carbs.
I'd like to say that there are videos by Dr Ken Berry and Steak and Butter Gal. They have good ideas to keep up on Carnivore.
Lifestyle journey change is great!
User, good luck with it all, you can do it, this lady is lovely she’s very inspiring. Can I suggest you watch Dr Jason Fung he helps you reverse type 2 diabetes, he has a book called the Diabetes codes . I’ll be watching this young lady again. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
You're beautiful. Thanks for your open story about your journey and I'm so glad for you that you are moving forward and winning! Keep going and never give up!
I have a lot of respect for the fact that you noticed your binge-eating problem and solved it by switching to a diet that prevents it. That's much smarter than trying and failing "balanced" BS diets like most people do.
I switched to carnivore for the same reason. Although I was already lean when I started (through lots of willpower), I was just tired of thinking about my next meal all day.
It's almost impossible to binge a ton of calories on a mostly meat diet or a super craving. The big issues with binging and hard cravings come from sugars, carbohydrates and junk food. Yeah you can stuff your face with meat, but you'll be STUFFED before you've eaten a certain number of calories.... on the other hand, if that's cake or cookies or Oreos...... you'll easily double or triple the calories and insulin spike from that meat "binge".
@@emartinezr Yes, exactly
Have you had any lab work done since eating Carnivore?

I just started carnivore and today is my third day. the sugar craving was SO BAD yesterday and i was craving junk food as well. a friend of mine said to just eat sugar once every couple of days or once a week and i told them i wouldn't be able to stop myself if i splurge once every couple of days and i would end up giving up and they just gave me a weird stare -_-
if i splurge occasionally, i know i won't be able to stick with it. addiction is real man. one slip up, it's most likely over for you.
You're wrong, you ARE someone special! :) Not only are you making healthy changes for yourself, you're trying to help others while doing so. Proud of you, keep going!! God bless you
No she's not, she UNDERSTANDS IT NOW, she's not special untill she actually starts contribution to society , it is exactly such people like you who say"you are beautiful as you are, you are good as you are, you are ok, you are fine, whatever this kind of crap makes people demotivate and spiral them down into depression, you are not ok, BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS BE BETTER. this is the message should be given I absolutely hate fat slobs , but I have 180• shift to the people who actually turn their life around from laziness to pure strength not only in mind but their body. She is still on a journey she can be better
Yo, this is the best comment out here! This should have more upvotes
I work in the ICU as a RRT and just about everyone I see is a chronic patient that could be attributed to lifestyle and especially sugar. Obesity will shorten your life and life quality and makes any other illness you get 10x worse.
I'm really happy to see you woke up to the food lies, especially about hunger.
I also do OMAD and no sugar. Everyone asks me how I don't get "hangry" or moody. And I tell them its because I'm not an addict. And that conceiving of it this way and categorizing any processed food as a poisonous consumable can change how you eat. The thing is, most people think they feel alright and arent ready to make the switch.
I was never obese, but I had other inflammation issues that motivated me.
Thanks for your video, I'm gonna use it as a reference for people that I talk to at work.
The medical profession seems to be waking up to the idea of eliminating carbs. Still a lot that stick to eat less and move more. But that is like asking an alchoholic to drink in moderation.
Bless you dear! Thank you for your encouraging testimony 🩷
I've been watching you since your FIRST post. I nearly died Jan 2022, and in desperation, I went carnivore. I was so WORRIED for your health when you first started, because you were so sick and I understand! Now your skin is glowing!!! You may have had a lot of calories but you were dying and malnutritioned. Anyone can see your body is getting highly nutritional REAL foods now. You are healing and your biology has changed dramatically. YOU are a blessing!!!!
Glad you still with us.
I am so happy you are still gracing us with your presence on this earth
I am keto, which is very close to carnivore. And everything you are saying is exactly right. Most of our ailments come from sugar and wheat. Cutting carbs out and utilizing fat is the fast tract to clean out blood and energize our bodies. So inspired by you! ❤
Keep up the good work 💪🏼
Keto and Carnivore are VERY different ,,, the one thing they do have in common is removal of excess sugars / carbs
@@tilapiadave3234 not really, they are actually very close. Only thing you eat in keto that you don’t in carnivore is basically some side veggie like carrots, and even then some carnivores do eat also a little bit of veggies. So yes, very close. Ofc there’s a lot of variations to both of these diets.
@@glaeli1184 No ,, YOU are COMPLETELY WRONG. They are NOT similar at all. Your knowledge of Keto is very limited , now please go and learn then come back and apologize to the audience.
What about your lymphatic system and kidneys though? These diets destroy your eliminative organs and sewer system.
I am amazed no one is body shaming her right now. Bless this channel and her bravery to change!
Oh they do try but I have an amazing husband that just deletes the comments 😜
@@CarnivorousMe1 I can't imagine anyone body-shaming you. You should be an inspiration to everyone protecting control
@@CarnivorousMe1 is it the vegan trolls doing this ?
Oh the vegans I don't care a thing about, nah mostly gym jockeys with no personality think they are instantly "better" because they aren't overweight
Thank God
This is maybe the most genuine, sincere, and life affirming testimonial about a diet I’ve ever seen. I really hope you are doing well. There’s no doubt that this video has helped, informed, and inspired many people.
What a great story. I'm old lady but when I was young we were told to limit meat and eat huge amounts of veggies. I LOOKED great, size 4. I felt awful, like I was on the verge on hypoglycemia ll the time. Now I'm 77. I eat bacon and eggs for breakfast. A salad with lots of chicken for lunch and that's it. My eating window is about 6 hours and I feel great.Never hungry. Good blood pressure, and I'm very active. YOU are a very smart woman. You discovered the real path to good health earlier in life. Thanks for sharing you journey with us!
I’m 64 and doing the same.
Isn’t she great! Good for her!!
I’m 82 and have had so many food allergies. Eleven days on all meat. No stomach issues, eat plenty. Feel great, arthritis, leg and arm muscles do not hurt as much. Can only get better!!
So happy for you!!! I'm 67 and I had 41 illnesses listed at my Philadelphia hospital. Now I'm down to 2. No more diabetes, hbp, arthritis, ulcerative colitis, fatty liver, pacreatistis, 3rd stage kidney disease and on an on. Sugar is poison. No matter what form.
I'm glad you brought up the fatty liver problem! I have been wondering if an all meat diet could exacerbate it.
How’d you do it?
ok what does meat have to do w sugar?
Meat and carbs together is problematic. But meat alone and keto don’t cause fatty liver. You’re more likely to get that from drinking sweet beverages.
@@emilyvee4922 u cannot really tell what really happened to this video....exercise..... all details are missing ...
You're wrong about one thing, you ARE someone special! Thank you for your inspiration! You're very courageous! God bless you on your journey!
AWww TY!
At the end of January 2023, I was in a situation much like the one where you started. I’ll try to be brief! I turned 74 years old on January 30th of this year, weighed 308 pounds, and felt like I was dying. Could walk only a few steps, had frequent chest pain and just felt like giving up. I happened upon a TH-cam video about someone on a Carnivore diet-I don’t even remember who it was and I wasn’t certain it made sense. At that point I too, over many years, had tried all kinds of different diets which I always failed at within 6 weeks or less. Falling off the wagon with a bingeing episode was always the culprit because, every so often, I just couldn’t make myself stop eating. When I had an episode I felt like a failure and thought I’m just destined to always be fat. Anyway, when I watched that TH-cam video on the Carnivore diet, I thought “well that will be simple-just eat meat.” I started it on February 1st and, although it was doable, I had some rough moments for the first 2-3 weeks. I don’t think it was craving stuff as much as it was withdrawing from sugar and carbs. After that period, it got better and easier-not always a party but reasonable. Little by little I started feeling better. The chest pain stopped, as did a constant irregular heart beat. My average resting heart rate at night went from 93 to 62 according to my Apple Watch. My glucose level came down from 160 plus to an average of 88 by the middle of March 2023-I had not expected that much of a drop. If I’m not careful, it drops into the low 70’s. As of this morning my weight is at 252. Down from 308. In any case, I am doing better than I ever would have dreamed for someone my age. Life isn’t perfect as I still have considerable knee pain if I walk very far and my vision has taken a beating from years of diabetes. That said, I’m able to stay on this Carnivore diet without feeling like I’m being deprived of what tastes good to me. I eat steak, chicken, fish, eggs, butter, and cheese. (Almost forgot: 2 cups of coffee with a little half & half every morning). My goal is to get my weight down to 200 lbs. That’s my honest story. I appreciate your video as I can identify with it and confirm what you say. Thank you. Steve
Congrats Steve!!!! It takes one step at a time to get there and you are already well on that path!
I just discovered this channel today. I am so happy! Like you I am in my 70's, and need to take weight off so I can walk. I need to have a hip replacement, but I'm hoping that doing this diet will help me postpone the operation. I have back pain to the point I have to use crutches to walk so I am praying that the carnivore diet will help me with that also.. Congratulations to you for giving it a try and being so successful! Your post has given me the encouragement I desperately needed! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! ❤️❤️😊
@@annasyndergaard1162 I’m so happy that it was an encouragement to you. My knees were so painful before I started on the carnivore diet. After 131 days, my right knee has completely stopped hurting and my left knee is much better. Best wishes for your health and let me know if I can ever answer any questions. God bless, Steve
@@CarnivorousMe1 Our eyes face foreword so it stands to reason we are a predator and meat is good for us.
Encouraging story, I'm eating the same as you these days, it's helping me a lot, thanks Steve.
Congrats on your success!!! I was literally the same weight at 360lbs last May! I started eating keto/ carnivore, intermittent fasting and got back into weight lifting and walking at least 30 minutes a day. I don’t do full carnivore since I put milk in my coffee and occasionally have vegetables (with butter and bacon 🤤) I am now down to 273 after one year. If I only knew I could eat butter, steak, cheese and be healthy I probably wouldn’t have binged on cookies and snacks or fast food. Keep up the amazing work!
You are on road to nomad food type.
You are still keeping your carb processing mechanism active. This tends to slow down your metabolism to cope with a limited supply. Give the full carb a month and see how quickly your system adapts.
Congratulations on the loss of weight. Keep it up 👍
@@bigfletch8 can you explain your comment to a newbie pls... he is slowing down metabolism and keeping his carb mechanism up by eating a few veg?
Low Carb diet and intermittent fasting combo the best way to lose fat. This causes your body to switch from carbs as fuel to fat as fuel.
Hubby ate carnivore last week and lost his sholder pain and 6 lbs. He is convinced. I know I mentioned it once before, but your skin is glowing, you look so young and healthy. You set such a good example!
💕
All that collagen.
You look AMAZING! You had enough and took control - despite the propaganda of ‘moderation’, you resisted and stepped out - likely without any support from a doctor. What an inspiration! Praise be to God! Persevere girl!
This video may have just saved my life. I needed this so badly. "You do not get 360lbs by knowing how to moderate" girlfriend this is ME. I just subbed and plan to watch them ALL over the next few months. So excited to start this journey. Thank you for these videos and for all you are doing for people!
You are a gift! I don't have any eating/weight issues but your sincerity, honesty and passion are heartwarming and well worth watching. I wish you the best on your journey.
She's telling the truth. Start now.
So excited for you!! Thank you for your wonderful share❤ I too have had an eating disorder. I was an anorectic subtype B/P. I started my anorexia at age 18. I did not purge until I was 25. Once I started purging it was a crazy free for all to deal with my emotions this way for the next 35 years. I was in and out of treatment when I starved myself because I was purging everything. I too tried every healthy way of eating advertised. I still had physical issues. I developed a colitis, signs of Type 2 Diabetes my glucose would spike with food with sugars I didn’t realize was in the food I ate. This was followed by a surge of insulin and my blood sugar would drop to the 40’s. This has continued for the next 5 years. I finally realized with the help of TH-cam videos such as yours and similar podcasts I was eating wrong. It was because everyone I was listening to only taught the food groups. My body couldn’t tolerate eating this way. I learned from these podcasts. I eat meat now where I was once told it was unhealthy. I make sure it is grass fed, no antibiotics and free roaming range so they can eat natural grass freely. I will continue to also eat fish and chicken of high quality, eggs and butter that also come from these healthy animals. Within weeks my glucose spikes are gone and my blood pressure is in normal range. I feel calm and more at ease. Thank you for sharing your truth to help others find their way through this crazy world of food and health.
I just have to say it made me so happy to see your story. I was so sick 5 years ago that I literally wanted to die. I was in 3rd stage kidney disease,and had to use a cane to walk. I started eating low carb and my results have also been amazing. I am down to 100 pounds now,and at 50,I feel like I did when I was in my 20s. I believe that sugars and carbohydrates are poison. Like you,I have learned to eat to live,not live to eat. I think lots of people will benefit from watching your video.
I think what you did is great. Just wondering how the high protein did to your kidney pathology if you don’t mind me asking ?
You are doing extraordinarily well. You are a real inspiration. I am 4 days into exercise everyday and strict keto.. when I listen to your video it pushes me forward. Thank you for sharing this…from east Tennessee.
Great work Amanda! My wife is 74, I'm 70. We're just transitioning. You are an inspiration to many, I'm sure. We listened to Jordan Peterson, a good source, and others corroborate your experience.

Your complexion is gorgeous! That’s a sign that good things are going on inside.
The biggest problem with the overweight sick people I know is denial. Anytime I try to talk with them (kindly & compassionately) they usually respond with “oh that doesn’t work” “ that’s not good for you”, “you can’t believe everything you read on line”, “it’s because of my medication” bla bla bla.
Great job Amanda, keep up the good work!
Denial or self inflicted stupidity. Recently, I just decided to go no sugar, like ice cream, pastries, no sugar in coffee, soda pop, ect. I was going to eat healthy from now on and lose some weight. I went to Costco and bought what I thought was good . I bought some keto bars, pom pom juice, dried mangos, cashews, some gummy vitamins, Fresh berry's and a box of organic apples and a bag of carrots. No meat. Sounds healthy, right? Cost me over $100. And I gained weight fast. Finally I read the labels, and to my surprise every thing I bought was high high sugar. Every darn thing has sugar in it. And because I thought I was being healthy, I snacked on these foods freely. I am going to eat meat, (which by the way protein breaks down into a sugar product during digestion. Read it on line when asking for no sugar foods). Honestly, I don't feel hunger. Just an impulse thought that something might be good to eat. I will try your one big meal a day and no big sugar items and see if I can lose like you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and examples.. So happy for you. Keep posting. Your my inspiration now.
@@captainpearly3994 nope lol, you lost me at dried mangos, protein bars & pom juice. Glad you started reading labels & educating yourself. So much hidden sugar in stuff touted as healthy.
Incredible story! I’m 5+ months carnivore, over 40 and feeling the best I have in over 10 years. Love ❤ to hear these stories and people improving their lives.
I'm on day 10 of the carnivore diet and my cravings are a constant battle. I have spent the entire day so far on TH-cam looking for motivation. You have explained my my food addiction in a way that motivates me to never give up. Thank you, Amanda!!! I have listened to your video a few times and saved it for when I need help again.
Tips (I know where you are coming from; I had the same issues):
Add (more) salt or electrolytes (like an unflavoured powder)
Eat more fat (just put a little butter on all meat)
Drink more water
Eat ENOUGH food, especially in the beginning (Doctor Ken Berry says, "until you are comfortably stuffed")
Eat when you're hungry and stop when food seems "meh, I'm good!" for you
Addendum: I made the mistake of not eating enough initially. Once I ate more (coming from a calorie counting background, this was difficult for me at first), drank more water and added salt/electrolytes, the cravings (and even just thinking about food) died down ultimately, and the weight (i.e. fat & excess water-weight) began to drop, consistently.
Always eat fatty meat. Rib eye. Beef mince, which you can make yourself. T bone, Scott fillet. Stay away from lean meats.
Also always eat free range grass fed.
Eat more butter and salt. It helped me sooooooo much.
Thank you for making this video. This is a duplicate of my entire life…EXACTLY. I’ve only been doing Carnevore for almost 2 weeks now. I’m 72 years old and ready to just give up. Your video has given me hope and I really needed that. Of course I’m already getting bashed about this diet is not healthy. I’m sorry but if my RA, Fibromyalgia and Diabetes can improve…I say YES. You go girl. You’re an inspiration for all.
I’ve read the first few weeks are hard because your body is flushing all the toxins. Stay strong and don’t listen to the doubters. Other diets weren’t working. I’m getting started this weekend. I can’t wait to see how I feel. The food industry and medical field keep you sick to make money. They don’t want to be honest with us. I’ve seen numerous people get bloodwork on this diet and their numbers are all healthier. So there is something to this.
Good luck and I hope you continue to feel better. Get stronger and happier. ❤️❤️
@@Oneminutemindfulness Totally agree. A friend of mine, and his wife, have been on the carnivore diet for over 2 years. They get checked out regularly by their doctor and all signs point to health. It's crazy. I'm quite overweight and need to take control. I gotta stop being lazy about starting this
Hang in there. The first steps are always the hardest, no matter what you do.
I’m 59, I went Carnivore and my RA is in remission/gone! I take zero meds now! I was on 3 allergy meds and have no allergies now! I’ve lost 70lbs since 7/7/22!
The first week or 2 can be hard. because our body is going through withdrawal from the sugar and carbs. Try taking a teaspoon of mct oil to fight fatigue or brain fog. it really helps and makes you feel full for hours also. I've been doing this diet for 3 weeks now and feel so much better than before! also down 13 pounds. All of our illnesses have been from the food we eat and I can't beleive I just now realized this! trying to only eat in a 6 to 8 hour window is helpful also. fasting will heal us faster than anything!
I just met you and I gotta say, I'm already so proud of you. It's the accountability. Nothing beats that. You're awesome 👌
Amanda I’m so proud of you and happy for you. I’m sharing this video with my daughter who is suffering like you were. I think food allergies and inflammation are so much of her issues. I want her to try carnivore so bad. I believe it will help her too. You are an inspiration. God bless you.
Thank you so much, Amanda. I am so glad you saw the light in your early 30's. I'm 75 and just beginning the Carnivore diet. That was an inspirational talk.
Wow, girl....SOOO proud of you--AMAZING! You have really inspired me, as I'm 68 and have been a binge-eater most of my adult life, too, I actually started Keto 12 days ago, but after seeing this video, I think I will try just going carnivore. THANK YOU for your awesome testimony, and for inspiring so many of us to press in and go for it--WHAT AN ENCOURAGEMENT YOU ARE! THANK YOU!
I’ve been a binge eater/sugar junkie since childhood as well and I’ve found since practicing fasting and now adding in keto, it’s really making a difference in my binges. When I do slip out of the keto way, I definitely feel a difference physically.
Awesome job!! 🎉 Keep on killing it!! Definitely an inspiration to all!
You look so much better! And I understand that this is an old video too. I'm glad you were able to solve your weight issues. That's my path right now.
You are an inspiration to admit you had a problem instead of blaming someone else
Congratulations Amanda on your diet success and your channel's success as well! It is amazing to see how many people you have inspired and touched along the way.
I would love an update from you today. Personally myself, all of my arthritis is gone and I am at an ideal weight. I wish the same for everybody. Keep going, girl.

Same here, what a relief! Never felt better in decades.
I love how honest you are with yourself. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations! I was just shy of 360 lbs. in 2017. I struggled with weight issues since I was 10 (66 now). Listened to doctors and charlatans for decades, and only gained more! I started Keto-Carnivore and in 3 years dropped 165 lbs. I gained back about 30 lbs. "relaxing" into more Keto but I'm doing more K-C and gradually moving towards full Carnivore. Oddly enough though, I'm finding it more difficult to quit broccoli, asparagus, and mushrooms than pizza, ice cream, and chips five years ago!
I have moved to whole food only, no processed foods and want to go carnivore but I know when I don't eat fresh veg for a few days(pre whole foods) I go a little( more) crazy so I really worry l need veg. I have a huge veg garden too. Scarred to take the next step.
Woot woot amazing story James!!!
@@CarnivorousMe1 Thank-you. The best part of your video: "We've been deceived." The unholy trinity: Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government!
@@vanessarheadart9708 Very understandable and there's no one size fit's all diet despite what the vegans will tell you, May I recommend on TH-cam: Dr. Ken Berry and Steak and Butter Gal. They will both also have interviews with both medical doctors and others who have successfully lost weight and got healthier-in some cases many years-on the Carnivore Diet.
@@vanessarheadart9708 Well, most veggies won't hurt you snd it sounds like your body maybe needs the veggies.
I am so beyond proud of you! This is such a significant amount of progress to have been made in only 8 months. Congratulations and keep it up
“I was a binge eater” instead of “I am…” has been a powerful change to help me reprogram my mind and my impulses. Our brains will organize around the words we ‘feed’ it. Congrats! Inspiring story and life changing video, I hope it reaches many
