Sauces and spices are what have enabled me to stay on this woe for almost 7 months. I hit 100 lbs of weight lost this morning when I stepped on the scale. Starting weight was 284. At 184 as of today.
Woo-hoo! Way to go!! 💪 💪
WOOT WOOT YAYAY Micheal!!!!!!!!!!!
Wahoo! Congratulations,
Congrats!
Congratulations
You are a breath of fresh air, real and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey!
G'day from Melbourne Australia. It's roughly 2am here and it took me roughly 6 weeks on carnivore to actually feel hunger. It was an hour ago after I woke to bathroom. I was astounded how it felt. I made a fatty coffee with cream and salt, and promised myself some scrambled eggs later when I again felt hungry. In the past I would have reached for crackers or a low carb keto bar. I threw that all out and cleaned my pantry and fridge and overnight went carnivore omad (I was already used to one meal). You, Amanda have been my greatest motivator and inspiration as you are on the journey with me.
Hey Barb, also from Victoria 😊Well done! I have majority meat, dairy. only 2 weeks in. No difference yet on the scale but I feel good. Mother's day afternoon tea will be intermission. Haven't told any of the family I am doing this.Less fuss is best.
@@susang5445 I agree with you - not telling family about it very likely helps.
You nailed it. I give people the same advice. The tiny bit of wiggle that gets the meat down (especially in the beginning) is worth it. Eating meat is what’s important here. Every step towards carnivore is a step in the right direction. If you need diet pop, if you need sweetened LMNT or “sugar free” coffees, do it. If it means you’re eating meat meals, or even meat based keto meals and you keep going, you’re good. Trend forward, trend towards goals. You don’t have to achieve immediately.
Hiya, Val Kyrie! We “met” in a comment section on another carnivore channel, Dr. Shawn Baker’s, a couple days ago. 🤚
Val Kyrie as soon as you said, diet soda and sugar, free coffee you helped me make up my mind. I’ve been debating on doing this diet because I’m not a big meat eater. I usually do the hCG diet. In fact I have some in my fridge but I am not looking forward to the withdraws. I’ve been having major issues with low sodium headaches and leg cramps, so I was scared to go through withdraws. My family is doing the carnivore diet and their withdraws were not as intense and with me having a hard time giving up a diet soda and sugar, free coffee, that is what’s held me back along with eating meat fat. So thank you for advice
I will never give up spices but I use "whole spices" not spice blends as those are full of crap. We like making a roast so we can quickly eat it during the week. Warm it up, eat. Simple. In that we put some sage, rosemary, a little rainbow pepper and of course, redmond salt. He likes to add a splash of balsamic vinegar - Ok, so we bought a pure one without a pile of other random ingredients added to it like literally everything in the grocery store. It works for us. I tried cutting out spices/herbs one at a time and I did not notice any improvement in how I feel. On my steak, I prefer just salt and butter anyway. I'm not eating a pack of oreos in one day anymore, I am not getting 4 treats with my weekend coffee at the local café anymore. I am not sneaking into my room to eat a hidden chocolate bar anymore. So I'll keep those spices, a tiny amount of balsamic vinegar and the occasional dash of no sugar hot sauce and not feel badly about it.
That is exactly it, look at the 98% gained not the 2% we aren’t perfect at. 💕💕💕💕
I’ve been carnivore a few times. Around 5 years ago we started carnivore for the first time, did it for around two years. Tried again recently and failed. Just started back up a month or so ago and doing great.
It wasn’t until this past month that I didn’t want spices or even onion and garlic. I completely stopped having a desire for them. It’s taken a very long time to get to that point. The only thing I like now is buffalo sauce (franks and butter) with chicken wings 😂 haven’t used spices in weeks.
One day you might want to stop using spices, but for a lot of people it seems to be an eventual thing. Don’t sweat the small stuff. It just kinda happened for us. Didn’t make an attempt or force it, just didn’t want it one day. Then another day. Then weeks.
@@Val.Kyrie. garlic kills me. I like it, but even if I have a small amount, I am sick, bloated and get heartburn. I miss it hahaha But other spices, rather herbs omnomnom
Amanda, you're laying the groundwork for an organized , well planned program. Mixing set principles with flexibility, brilliant .
This was an excellent reminder Amanda! I am so excited to share that my husband has joined me after watching my success and cheering me on since I started this journey last August!! I am so very happy that he has made this decision. Where I typically in the past would try to push, I realized that he has to be the one to make the choice and has to want to better his health. Just wanted to share and to say thank you for always being transparent and sharing that we all have things that may trip us up from time to time, but consistency is the key!
Oh YAYA LORI!! I know you have mentioned before really wanting him to join and and struggling a bit with not pushing! That is AMAZING!
@@CarnivorousMe1 💕
Your weightloss is so amazing! I'm so proud of you and I'm very happy for you! And by the way, your skin looks flawless.
I agree. Your skin looks beautiful Amanda 🙂
Aww thanks!
Excellent. People need to learn have realistic expectations and plenty of patience. People need to also be honest with themselves. You are looking awesome by the way and one of the sanest folks online. 👍
Your video was absolutely amazing! As a person that has struggled with obesity and binge eating, your words are both comforting and encouraging. Thank you!! On to binge the rest of your videos 😂❤
I can't believe how different you look! you are doing amazing, I am so inspired by you! Love your vlogs and seeing your daily meals
Saw your interview with Dr Berry. Awesome!! I love your humor and glad I found your channel!
Welcome and thank you very much for the encouragement Neva!
Thank you so much for this video! It's so nice to get helpful information from somebody who understands what it feels like to have struggled with losing a lot of weight. So encouraging! Thank you thank you
Aww thanks Mel and glad its helping!!
Check out Carnivore Kipp too. He was 500 lbs! Now he's 400.
Thank you so much for this! Great advice! You are a true inspiration to me!
You are always such a joy to listen to! Inspirational and motivational! Thank you for bringing it back to the basics and reminding us of maintaining the 98%. Very helpful! Proud of you! 💕
You are an amazing person and I really appreciate the contact you’re putting out!!
Love it! I am one of those people who can just choose to do or not do something and stick with it without needing help or fillers. So carnivore has been easy. Also fasting. My husband is different. He needs all that comfort, fillers and help to get through. I'm but not judging him sometimes makes me annoyed and I feel he is just finding excuses but I guess my weakness and obstacle is to learn to understand weakness in this matter and you explaining this 98% being important is just perfect!
He is lucky to have you! Its hard not to place our experience and expectations on others, letting them find their way is so important because then they CHOOSE to make the change. Having honest heart to hearts with ourselves is key
You make me stop and think about things I never considered before. Your video last week about discovering true hunger cues has stuck with me. I hadn’t realized how much of an emotional eater I was. Your video this week just builds on the previous information and it’s very helpful. Thank you!
Can you tell me what the name of the video is that you referred to in your comment pose?
@@colleenkeating2033 i believe it was called Hungry on Carnivore? improving My Weight Loss.
I cannot tell you how perfectly timed this post is for me. I am trying carnivore again...my third time...and I basically am derailed by all the things you discussed here. Although I'd love to lose a good deal of weight, my main focus is healing from my autoimmune condition which has gotten incredibly worse over the last couple of years. I tend to lose focus if I don't see improvement "now" and then drift away from eating this way. Thank you for reminding me that this is a journey and I can't get to the end of it by skipping any of the steps between where I am now and where I need to be eventually.
I'm on my 3rd try, too!
Im not sure what you do for a career...but you are a WONDERFUL motivational speaker! YOU ARE SO INSPIRING!
Aww Thanks Lesley, I used to do physical therapy so I spent my entire career teaching people how to move around properly!
@@CarnivorousMe1 Well you teach with such Grace and Understanding. You help make this journey so easy! WE NEED YOU! TY
It's wonderful that you give "permission" to not be 100% perfect, especially at the start but even on the entire journey. That seems like something that could be easily missed by individuals in general, and perfectionists in particular, which may make it easier to give up early on, stay off once they've had an off meal (day, week, month...), or not even start at all.
Great message, thank you for sharing your insights, your experiences, and most of all, your graciousness!
I thank you for giving excellent advice on how to start by eating carnivore 3 or more times a day. I remember your beginning ...I think it worked for you and is good for others addicted to carbs.
That Scott is a rare gift! You are blessed to have each other! 🏆
I am SO GLAD I found your Channel, as I am so like you with the Binge eating and in various. Thanks for such honest and transparent content!
I listened twice. Feeling like I’m sliding backwards. I almost caved and ate chicken noodles that I’m making homemade for the kids tonight but after listening to this, I think I’ll just freeze the access and eat a steak instead.Thanks for all your information and your inspiration.
Imo, It's an addiction.
It's takes at least 30 days without to break it.
But you on the path.
You got this Ashley! Could you slowly over time start to eliminate from the kids diets the processed carbs and sugars? Its excellent for them and YOU, not that they need to be carnivore but eliminating the flours, sugars etc. Willpower is a difficult thing to constantly rely on specifically when we are feeling stressed or emotionally upset. We want to jump right into those carbs to feel better (even though it does the opposite!)
@@CarnivorousMe1 my 12 year old does it with us. She loves it. She’s been this since she was little. I remember she used to pour a little redmonds in her hand and eat it. Her body always knew what she needed
There is a chicken soup carnivore recipe on youtube shorts. Shredded chicken(,lots) chicken broth , stir and break up 2 eggs that you already cooked over easy, add salt to taste.
You're my #1 motivator. So much common sense. A great communicator. Thx!!
The best thing you said was “eat as much as you need to in the beginning” Thank you 😊 I always feel like I should be fasting from the first second. Super helpful video
This is exactly the reminder I needed…thank you, you’re a blessing.💓
Great tips! Love your strategies.
You’re my favorite to watch on TH-cam now!!! Thank you for being so truthful and un intimidating! ❤
Excellent information! I've been transitioning into Carnivore this week with the goal of going 100% Carnivore on July 1. I tried Carnivore about 3 years ago but I went crazy with fasting at the same time and I quit after a couple of months. This time will be different. I found your channel a week ago and have been binge watching. You're so relatable and such an inspiration. Your story is very much what I'm going through right now and seeing your health improve give me hope that maybe I can get well, too. I appreciate you so much!!! 🥰
This is a very well done video from an entertaining, intelligent and likeable presenter. I learnt more than I did from the better known TH-cam carnivore "stars".
Thank you very much mangawhio1
Dear Amanda you look amazing, your skin looks very healthy.
You are an inspiration. My journey only involves loosing about 60 pounds. But your journey has come so far already, and these simple principles you are speaking of reaffirm my own thinking. I am still learning my “dirty carnivore” diet, and your advise to focus on the big picture is helpful. I look forward to witnessing your journey.
Great advice! Thanks Amanda
Thank you Sarah, very happy the video hit home
Amanda,
You are inspiring! You make me realize I can do this! Thank you for sharing your journey to help others!
You have a gift!
I've watched so so many videos on Carnivore and have been eating this way on and off since January. I just wanted to tell you this is one of the most informative and personally helpful of all of them. Thank you!
You're looking good young lady, we all learn by our mistakes. Never give up,never give in.❤😊
Dr Berry send me over to you ! You speak so well Amanda. Love listening to you and you have great realistic advice. Very very cool what you have accomplished. We are watching and waiting with you on this journey. You go girl !!!! You sound like you have an awesome husband !
Welcome and thank you very much for the kind words and support Karol.
I am starting again 😢. I am so looking forward to learn from this channel.
Thank you for what you do ❤.
Thank you so much for laying out the blueprint as you go. There are some days where my diet soda is the only thing that gets me by lol. But we are grabbing the bull by the horns! Thank you so much for everything you do and share with us ❤️
I lost 80 pounds on a mostly keto diet with OMAD, but have been at a plateau 15 pounds away from my goal since November. I'm happy that I have maintained, but I don't want to give up on my goal. You have inspired me so much that I am doing a 30 day carnivore challenge. I have only been doing this for a few days so far but it is going great. I am thinking I am going to do a combination of keto and carnivore when I reach my goal. Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration!
Great progress thank you for sharing Megan. I know you can reach your goal!
I love your wisdom. I enjoy your TH-cam channel. You are a real inspiration.
I really needed to listen to this today. When I go off the diet, I instantly think it’s not right for me and give up. From now on, it’s just a blip and carry on. Thank you, I love to listen to your inspiring journey …… well done!
Your advice is spot on! I am working hard at artificial sweeteners right now. I decided to eliminate all sweeteners from my diet, and drink my coffee black for now, but I still have a few cans of diet soda every day. Its better than the 12 pack a day habit that I did have. I am still loosing weight and getting stronger.
Great video , your a very good speaker and so motivating … ❤
You explained this so well. You know an exceptional amount on this topic. I'm starting tomorrow. Thank you for this.
You and Scott have been sent from Heaven itself!!!!
One week in and I did not have one single craving yet, it's been oddly easy so far.
I was the same, I gave up all sugars and reduced carbs overnight and no cravings, no temptation. I thought I was doing something wrong lol. I actually went 5 weeks before I actually felt true hunger.
Every person is different, mine really hit me the hardest a few weeks
Thank you! I know a lot of us needed to hear this!!
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to advise.
Thank you, I so needed to hear this!
I have spices, artificial sweeteners (coffee), onions, and mushrooms to flavor the sauces I make for some of my meals. I have maybe 10 grams of them in a sauce and 1 cup of shrooms is something like 2.3 grams of carbs so my sauce likely has a gram of carbs in total.
We have a shelf in the pantry with all the things that other people eat and I have hung a towel in front of that shelf so I don't have to look at all the stuff on that shelf. At this point, it doesn't faze me, I don't crave those things anymore but in the past it was rough.
A trick you can do with dried mushrooms is to powderize them in a blender or spice grinder to use in a sauce and that will create a lot of flavor with using even less of them.
Good ideas Hoigwai, out of sight out of mind
I ordered the salt rocks and got them today. They are great! I also like that I should be able to take one on the plane the next time I fly. I had some difficulties with ground salt before. Thanks for the recommendation!
I love your talks!
Thanks Joy!
Needed to hear that first 20 seconds thanks ❤️💗
You're skin is looking awesome 🎉🎉
This is so timely for me! Thank you!
"...gnaw my ding arm off"...
You're both hilarious and brilliant!
You've become so knowledgeable and you express yourself so brilliantly!
The BEST to you, you're a true WINNER..❤❤❤!
Brilliant! Real, honest, practical, love it! Thank you ❤
Another great video Amanda!! Cheering you onward friend!
This is a very helpful video when starting out with excellent tips to succeed, thank you 😊
Congrats for you! 🎉 You are amazing for what you did for yourself. Thank you for sharing this story with all the world! ❤ cheers from Poland 😊
You’re encouraging. I have started and stopped several times. After two three weeks and saw nothing on the scale I gave up. Not looking at scale for at least 2 weeks or three. Starting tomorrow again after I go to the grocery store. Thank you.
Seasoning with garlic and onion with salt is what helped me to eat beef and stay carnivore for the past 3 months. I have been on a feast and famine cycle for many years. When I ate I ate high carbs and very little meat and especially ate hardly any fat because I was brain washed that makes you fat. So now I learned from you to eat more fat now I don’t get constipated and i am not all the time. I have not loss really any weight the 4 pounds I loss I gained. I am focusing on being healthy because my body needs my body needs get the healthy oils in trust that I will not starve it again. Now I am on a high fat low protein no carbs no sugar no cream carnivore lifestyle. Thank you Amanda and God bless for your honesty and transparent experience you put out there to help us.
Congratulations on treating your body right, fat and protein are good. If you are wanting to lose weight have a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/IIDsMGgRFCg/w-d-xo.html
you are looking awesome girl. Thanks so much for sharing tips with us
Excellent advice, Amanda! Thank you! I’m a pretty newbie carnivore (like 95%), and this advice helps me. I saw an interview with you on one of the other carnivore channels, I think Dr. Shawn Baker’s. You have a very valuable message for people. 👍
Thank you and welcome Susan! I have a few videos I like to share with newbies so they can get through the first month.

❤ Amanda! You nailed it!
Always an inspiration.
I reached my goal weight after losing 24kgs and have maintained it. I still treat myself to chocolate once a week and I would never give up my coffee.
"My own leg started looking tasty" 😂❤
You're just so genuine. I love it, Amanda!
This is spot on.. you rock 😊
I am a believe in the 80/20 rule. I use it as work alot so adapting it to my person life
Thanks a million for this great video. It really helps a lot. A real eye opener on how to be successful on Carnivore.
Fantastic, glad the video helped. Thank you for the encouragement Charmaine
Amanda says trust the process! Although it takes a long time but it works.
Love, love, love your videos! ❤Thank you! Hoping to finally catch you live Sunday!! 😀
Excellent video! Thank you so much for breaking things down like you do. You, young lady, are a blessing!
Aww TY Jeanie!
Well said! ❤️
Thank you Charlene
I just found your channel, Amanda. Thank you for a great video! I've been trying to go carnivore and keep falling off after initially doing a month or so and doing well. I don't know why it's been so hard to get re-started. I look forward to seeing more of your content. Take care.
Good for you, Eric.
There’s a channel called Chris Cooking Nashville. The man who posts began in January to lose from 380+ pounds. He might be inspirational for you also.
@@marilynpeppers1356 Thank you, Amanda!
Excellent, Amanda! You have a different tone to your voice. You are growing!
Keeping things out of sight was what I did to quit smoking. I made my husband smoke outside, and he was not allowed to have his cigarettes, lighter or ashtray anywhere near me. I've been smoke free almost 15 years. I can totally see how this would work!
Congratulations on quitting smoking! thank you for the support
Great content and message. congrats on your success and good luck on your continued journey. Really loving your channel!
Thank you very much for the support and encouragement Beckie!
Awesome 😃💪💪
Thank you again Hunger!
Great advice you have become so clued up in your journey thankyou for sharing
Thank you for the comments and support Julia, it really helps the channel and get the message about good health out
Your welcome your doing great 👍 👌 😊
Very helpful & powerful reminders!!
Thank you for your Advice. Amanda ❤
Amanda! You are such a joy! Totally laughed at your little "self-effacing moment" regarding the rock salt. Funny! Guess I should get some. Lots of good suggestions/points.
I have been on carnivore since February 7th. I can honestly say that I have not cheated once. I have gained 10 pounds and I'm not happy about that at all. I have not lost and inches in my waist. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 2 which has made this carnivore journey extremely difficult and frustrating! My anxiety that comes from being in pain, almost all the time, has gone down and I'm not in stomach pain every time I eat. Other than those two things, nothing else has changed! I eat more, I eat less, nothing changes. I eat more fat, I eat less fat, nothing changes. This has not been a very good journey for me. I'm not stopping this way of eating but it's been a nothing burger! I had such high hopes of something grand happening but gained 10 pounds, less anxiety and less stomach pain, not that grand. I wish I had something great to say about this way of eating but it comes back to the same thing, I eat because I have to.
Suggestion I have (if you already have not), take a week at a time a journal your food. I have done this a handful of times and am ALWAYS surprised at the end of the week the amount I have consumed or the small things that have slipped in. I know you said you have tried more and less , id be very interested to know the amount of energy you are consuming as well as the frequency at which you eat? Also do you have quite a bit to lose or just a tad?
Some people say your body composition changes- ratio of fat to muscle, with fat decreasing and muscle increasing. Muscle weighs 2x the amount of the same volume of fat. 1 cup of muscle is heavier than 1 cup of fat. There are scales which tell you the ratio via barefoot sensors. If you don't have 1, measure with a measuring tape. Waist, hips, thighs. Thighs inches might go up if you are able to do resistance exercise, as quadriceps often respond well to exercise. Waist might reduce with less carbs due to bloating going down. Feeling better though is worth it. Remember non scale victories 🌾❤👍
@@susang5445 I have measured myself and have not changed in inches!
I think what you are saying is kind of great, at least for me. I think you are very brave to share your weight gain with us. I do not have any advice but I wanted you to know I think your courageous to share your struggles & it is very generous because I am having struggles with binging & anxiety right now because of a family issue that is not my story to tell, but your example helped me say “I’m struggling “ Thank you
@@Linda-zv8ky Thank you🥰. Everyone wants to talk about how great this way of eating is but that is not the truth or reality! Maybe for a small few but that is not the many. All the people I know personally that are doing this way of eating are struggling about one thing or another. If we can get through the day, on the carnivore diet, without killing anyone, we are doing pretty grand!😆
Great advice! Thank you Amanda
Thank you-!!! Needed these common connectivity’s you spoke of that I could glean from your experience and I ordered the book😌
Thank you Art of Willow, I am glad it helped. I hope the book is a great read for you as well
🎉🎉Damn, damn, damn.🎉🎉 😮 So much good information that I wish I knew years ago. You are teaching a clinic in consistency and your journey has renewed my efforts to heal my autoimmune disorders. Twenty years of struggling with obesity, psoriasis, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. I've decided to take a scorched earth approach as I've already "done" it all.
Amanda, I read that book because you recommended it. I enjoyed it!
Im starting to re-read it again!!
Thank you Amanda 🎉🙏 great tip's.
Awesome video topic. Thank you!
Thank you so much, I really needed to hear this today!😢🥺
Hang in there and I hope tomorrow is better for you.
Love this! I've been struggling with staying carnivore...even though I feel the best on this way of eating.
You can do it Tia, I believe in you.
This is right on time!
Great video for newbies as well as long term keto /carnivore people (me) who tend to only focus on the 2%.
Thank-you!
Thank you, Amanda. This was very helpful.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE you. I find you so inspirational, so real, so lovely. If we lived closer, I would really enjoy getting to know you better. Note: I'm probably old enough to be your mom or grandmother. 😄
Hahaha! Thank you Elizabeth, i get along really well with older people anyways. Hubby is 17 years older. Thank you very much for the encouragement!
