My integrative health PCP and cardiologist both strongly recommend the Mediterranean diet. It’s doable for most people and includes a healthy dose of protein (mostly fish, eggs and poultry), vegetables, olive oil, fruit and limited carbs. My health is excellent at 70 and most people think I’m years younger.
Yes that is what my Dr has said my doctor has said for me, and I’m gonna really really study this Mediterranean diet he said for me, I have to do the Mediterranean /Dash So I will
Just my 2 cents, plant based can work but any extreme diet long term can cause problems. Hard to make your protein goals, especially as we age. Need minimum 80 grams a day but probably more. Also too many vegetables can cause endotoxin in gut. Many do well on plant based because they are avoiding processed food. Best thing you can do is not eat vegetable oils, so avoid bad salad dressings etc. Also vegetables these days if not organic are full of glysopahte. I like to think the cow eats the grass (sometimes with chemicals) have multiple stomachs to breakdown the bad stuff and make a perfect food for us. Saturated fat is not a poison, it's a marketing campaign for canola oil. I only share to give you food for thought. Pun intended.
My friends husband ate lots of spicy foods and meats and he had a couple of heart attacks and a stroke in his 50’s. His Mayo Clinic cardiologist has put him on a vegan diet and the wife eats that too because of her high cholesterol. Fast forward a year later they both lost weight and feel great. My father had lots of heart attacks and was a cattleman farmer always eating a delicious steaks and eggs. He went on a vegetarian diet after reading a book from a doctor and lost a ton of weight and had better cognition. His wife told him he looked too thin and so he stopped. Went right back to the same place and died of lung cancer a few years later. He never smoked.
Yes!! This!! Thankyou. I have been on a plant based diet for over 14 years and vegetarian for 30! I make sure I get TONS of plant based protein! And look way younger (I am told) than my age and feel great! 😊❤
Exactly! What a lot of people refuse to acknowledge is that we are all different. Some people can make a plant-based diet work very well for them because they get enough protein and other nutrients. What I dislike is one side or the other saying that there is only one right way to eat. That’s ridiculous.
So glad you are doing this! You are spot on! Before keto/carnivore I was pre diabetic with borderline high blood pressure. My doc was telling me not to eat salt so my BP would go down, which was wrong. Fast forward 5 yrs and my BP is like when I was 20, and I am no longer at risk for diabetes. I have gone off the wagon and suffered for it! Ya, it's soòo delicious while your eating it but for the next several days your regretting it. Last summer I went on vacation and ate a lot of junk including icecream. I ended up with soriacis all over my face and body. Went to the dermatologist and she gave me cream. I asked her what causes it she said they don't know. Well, I healed it by healing my stomach and not eating junk foods. You are what you eat! I'm back on track and am feeling so much better!
I switched to a carnivore diet to rid myself of carb and sugar addiction. I also just turned 67 yo and this clean way of eating is the best thing I ever did to stop the multiple diet game.
Started sleeping on a grounding mat. Increased my sleep an hour every night. Used to get 6 hours a night. Now I average 7 . I use it under iPad during the day too. Got an EMF meter for Christmas. Was shocked how much EMF comes off extension cords, appliances, and even red light device.
Yep. Got a grounding mat and my fitted sheet is on the way. The mat made a difference in just days for me. It has been about 2 weeks and my body is less achy and I have been sleeping more deeply. Hoping the sheet is even better. My favorite way to ground is actually being barefoot on the grass, but in N Indiana it’s not quite possible in the cold months. I rarely wear anything on my feet in the warm months.
Kimberly-thank you for being so honest about your cheat meals, we have all been there😀 The key is going right back to clean eating at your very next meal. Loved the video thank you for sharing, keep ‘em coming😀
Hi Kimberly - perfect timing of this video. I recently lost 25 pounds with clean eating and IF. I'm in my late 50's and NEVER thought I could lose weight. But then...the holidays came. I allowed one day to turn into one week into three months of eating off plan and back to my old nasty ways of eating. Today, as I start my "reset" I'm dealing with headaches and fatigue like you wouldn't believe. Please keep up this content. It is so very encouraging and educational. I also very much enjoy Connie's channel. I do not see your links of where you purchase your protein from. Thank you XO
What a great video, Kimberly! My son was vegan for 7 years and never felt worse in his entire life. Of course he didn’t realize his issues were from his diet until he changed it. Not only did he feel a million times better but almost all of his medical lab work improved and became completely normal! I have been struggling with nasal and sinus congestion daily and I’m going to follow some of your suggestions.
I just listened to this today and it was just what I needed to motivate me to continue working on my clean diet. I too have struggled with blood sugar and it is TOUGH to clean things up after a lifetime of eating whatever I wanted. Thank you for the inspiration. I would love to hear more about what Lori tells you and share how you slowly took each piece of her advice and incorporated it into your diet. Many thanks! I think you are brilliant!
Great video and very appropriately timed for me. The difference in how you feel eating clean is tangible and I love it when I don’t have severe brain fog. Thank you.
I am carnivore for 10 months. Just meat (fatty or not) , seafood, eggs and butter. In June I will be 43 and never felt better. Minus 40 pounds , energy , no anxiety, sleeping like a baby. Best decision ever.
@@patriciaboer4648 there are also people (some of them here on TH-cam), that eat like this for years and are very healthy. As long as I feel fine and my health checkups are fine, I am not worried. My doctor is fine with this.
Great analogy about putting milk into your car! Our diets manner so much. I try to lead by example because I'll be 71 on Tuesday + I teach high school English + I usher at the Fox in Atlanta + I hike + I do yoga, and I love my life!!! Keep spreading the truth about diet!!!
terryomalley2089, what is your diet like? What do you eat in a day ? Vegies, carbs and protein ? I'll be 71 soon too and just feel like crap most of the time bur have a really good diet...or so I think . Need some advice !!!
Kimberly thanks for sharing,its so refreshing not to hear plugs of buying products and just sharing your health journey,I'm getting tired of people just selling product ,its making me tired of youtube ,but you are different from the woman our age and I enjoy your content!!!Please stay original,you never get boring. ,.
Thank you so much Kimberly. In October I had my seventh diverticulitis attack. It usually goes away in 2 or 3 days. This time it didn't. It went on for months. I would eat less and less and the pain did not stop. After losing 22 lb in 3 months later I went to the doctor and went on heavy antibiotics. That did not work. Then I went to the hospital. I was given even heavier antibiotics. The doctor advised me only to have chicken broth and jello for 7 days. That's when the light bulb went off. A lot of them inflammation went away, my joints feel better. . I started taking a probiotic morning and night, I'm drinking kefir with liquid vitamins and eating really clean. I'm slowly getting better, I miss fast food but I do not miss feeling horrible. I will eat of cheeseburger but it will be at home. Thank you so much Kimberly. I really need to hear that from you today. Feeling stronger in California.❤
I also suffered with diver for years and finally had a colon resection. I can now eat raw vegetables and fruits. This is my question regarding this information; we need fiber each day to keep our digestion healthy and colon functioning.
We do not need fiber. There is all kinds of info where that has been debunked. Start with Dr. Ken Berry and search his channel on fiber. Another good one is Dr. Chaffee and so many others.
The biggest danger for me was listening to the advice of eating a plant-based diet and limiting proteins. Ever since I went on a keto like diet, eating more meat and reducing the high oxalate vegetables, my health is approved in every way.
@@PrettyOverFifty I think they believe that eating plants is better for the environment than meat so they promote vegan eating. There’s nothing wrong with choosing how you want to eat, but telling people that meat is bad for them and going to give the cancer is very disingenuous. Humans have been eating meat for thousands of years. It’s only since the introduction of vegetable oils , high carbohydrate diet and increased sugar that cancer and diabetes have skyrocketed I think back to how our grandparents generation ate . Lots of fatty meats, liver, well cooked vegetables because they knew the vegetables except the stomach. My grandmothers generation had very little cancer, but my mothers generation had a lot of cancer so if eating a low fat diet really work, why is cancer about to overtake heart disease is the biggest killer ? we’re not getting healthy or we’re getting sicker. I have been following Dr Ken Berry and I’m no longer on blood pressure meds and my hashimoto is in remission!
Great video!!!! I really enjoyed the subject matter. I too after being a plant based no oil vegan for over 12 years changed my diet to one very similar to yours about a year ago. I realized I was eating tons of carbohydrates and sugar and not enough protein for a 69 year old women and not paying more attention to muscle loss and prevention. So much information and knowledgeable doctors to help mostly online. Only problem it freaked my traditional 75 year doctor that my cholesterol went up a lot from prior test. I know now that its triglycerides and HDL which are more important which mine are great. Maybe you do a video on that too! Please post a link to the Grass fed meat company you buy from. Thank you!!
So loved this video. Just starting on the same protein journey. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I supremely love Mexican food, and it's the only thing I'm craving. I know there are tons of nay sayers, so I truly applaud you for taking the courage to step out.
I did the carnivore diet for about 2 months and lost weight, but I am a fragile diabetic and it sent my glucose sky high, then I would give myself insulin and drop to levels of fainting. I also did not feel well at all and was very weak. So glad it worked for you and that you feel so well.
What’s good for one person isn’t necessary good for another we all are different I’m on the Dash diet my doctor said that this diet and the Mediterranean diet the best diets she said that are good they don’t limit you everything in moderation. I’m 70 years old I want to live a healthy long life and as I said to my doctor I want to enjoy my life while I’m here and everything now I do I do it in moderation I exercise by walking and lifting weights I hate diets and most diets limits me and I’m not having that at my age now but we all want to live a good healthy life while we are here. I wish you well and I hope you keep stay healthy and well. TYFS
I understand you are on the honeymoon phase of this new diet. However, these diets that cut out certain food groups are not good long term. We need to eat sensibly. Lean meats, fruits, veggies and some fat within reason. It’s all about balance. Check out what happened to TH-camr 50PlusBeauty by following a Carnivore diet long term. She ended up having a stroke.
She had a hole in her heart!,IBS and other health issues. It is extremely important to have our medical check up prior to starting any changes in our nutrition. . Then monitor every six month IMO. Beth ate lots of McDonald burgers ,without bun, but they re not clean we are all searching and doing our best. Cheers
Kimberly, I believe you are sooo right on!! Most food is pure junk and we must realize it. I am on the same quest as you are, plus working on myself spiritually almost 24/7, and loving it. It really matters what we put into our bodies AND our minds. Enjoying your other channel too. ALL you do is what ladies our age need. I´m 65 and just embarked on a second career as a Reiki Master; moved into my new business space last week and Iḿ so excited - at 65! People can´t believe I FEEL like starting something new - but with changes I´ve made in my life, I feel new. Thank you for everything you bring to us.
So good to hear this. I am also a relaxed carnivore (yup Kimberly that is the name of our protocol). Lost 20 pounds in 6 months. Don’t want to loose anymore as I am in my 60s. I don’t allow a cheat day for me it’s just asking for trouble when it comes to cravings. I don’t have cravings now and like you joints are good , clear mind, energetic and sometimes folks think I’m weird ha Anyway, glad for the video because now and again I wonder what would happen if I add a veggie such as avocado hmmmmm. Cannt wait for your fitness video. Cheers
Kimberly, thank you so much for talking about this. Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride created the GAPS diet and it healed my digestive issues. I’ve never felt better. It would be a treat if you could interview her. She’s amazing. Blessings to you.
I'm totally with you on the garbage that's in processed foods & I try to avoid if possible. But do you really eat no veggies? My body feels awful without veggies...plus I can grow most of them myself, so guaranteed organic & a bit self-sufficient 😊
What a great video!! Everything explained in a caring, easy to understand manner. Thank you, Kimberley - even if during the video I felt like you had been in my kitchen peering over my shoulder 😀
I believe in everything you said except for one..I'm 73 I workout every day and eat healthy most of the time. I have osteoporosis and have fractured both hips at different times. This was not the beginning of the end for me. Because I worked out the healing process went fast and I was back at working out again in no time. My only problem these days is one of the hips has arthritis and because of this I do have pain, but I am determined to work through this and hopefully be back to doing the things I love. Getting older can be a pain in the butt but its how you live your life and its better then the alternative. Thanks for a great video.
I was doing keto and lost 30lbs. and felt good. Then I went and got bloodwork done and my cholesterol was 355. So my doctor told me to eat chicken and turkey and fish, I was also put on a statin. I’ve gained my weight back and don’t feel so good. I want to go back on keto, but I’m worried about my cholesterol. My doctor said my cholesterol has always been a bit high, and thinks it’s hereditary. I don’t know what I should do.
I LOVE that you fast ! After reading DrJjason Fung's books and watching Dr Jamnadas you tube videos on fasting and eating right, I turned my blood work around. I had to laugh listening to you here because last week i made and ate a good portion of a sugary coffee cake. The result was swollen fingers and pain in my hands and it has taken a week to dissipate.I am now on a water only fast to clear out the toxins and taking Berberine to lower my blood sugar.........Oh well, we all need a little reminder by way of an indulgence , Right?
You can make great tacos at home with grass-fed beef and clean ingredients …. BTW a bit of corn ok… if organic … organic corn is not GMO or Monsanto chemical seeds…. glad you are catching up on clean food eating.
Thank you very much for your information on this subject and inspiration! I live in your area and find eating clean very difficult but am inspired to get back on the wagon. Thank you for the information so appreciated!
Been eating keto then carnivore for 3+ years. I’m 62. Lost 70 pounds which I’ve kept off. Feel better than ever. Carbs and seed oils are the two worst things for us all in my opinion. I do need to incorporate more exercise especially weight bearing things. You’re inspiring me! Thanks! ❤
I totally agree - very useful video so many people do not realize how food affects not only your weight but everything else! I’m working on changing my food in my life so that I can be healthier and stronger!!! Nothing worse than getting up in the morning and feel like you went through 8 rounds of boxing!!!! You are absolutely beautiful inside and out!❤
I couldn't agree with you more. The difference in the way I eat is protein the junk is night and day. Couldn't keep eating all the garbage. Great video Kimberly! ❤
I've been eating clean since '93 when I decided to lose 80#, at the time it didn't have a name. Now it's basically known as keto/keto like. In the last 7 years, protein has taken priority. 65 and feeling good 😊
Diet is everything! I worked with a nutritionist too. It’s been a year now and I know when I fall off the healthy eating wagon. The same symptoms you described. I used to cook fabulous meals and bake every weekend. No more. I read labels and eat clean food cooked simply.
The Mediterranean Diet is the most highly recommended diet by Registered Dietians, who are licensed nutrition professionals and cardiologists. It's not too restrictive, is easy to stay on and yields great health results.
So happy you are feeling great. After 10 years low carb just a word of caution after an initial health boon, less than 200 carbs a day can mess with hormones long term. Low carb not great for those with hypo-thyroid conditions. Fruit, honey, raw dairy etc. very healthy, especially if you exercise more than average. On your cheat days take digestive enzymes, Vitamin E and aspirin (yes natural aspirin) to off set. Also for my treat day and when I crave Mexican food I make tacos with non gmo sprouted organic corn tortillas from sprouts. I fill them with grass fed steak, raw cheddar cheese, some salsa, so delicious and feel great next day too.
Everything is a balance. Healthy eating, organic, exercise. If you want to have one day with a little indulgence that is ok. Kimberly you look wonderful, but I think the Mexican meal was a little over the top. That was a lot of food, lol love Mexican food, but again balance. Thank you
Hi Kimberly, I've just watched about 10 of your latest videos, had been a subscriber for awhile, but suddenly your videos appeared in my feed, and you are just so adorable, relatable and all of your advice so helpful and useful. I live in South Florida and dream about moving back out to Southern CA!! I'm so glad you love it in the Villages, but don't you miss CA and Lake Tahoe? I actually went from NYC, to Lake Tahoe, to San Diego, to Palm Beach......I miss all the mountains in CA all the hiking and the Pacific Ocean. Have lived in S. FL 20 yrs too long and dream about getting back out to the West Coast of the country. Loved this video, your Elf Makeup review and your Jones Road Review! I signed up for your newsletter, even though I get way too much email. Thank you for all your great tips, your enthusiasm and postivity is so appreciated 💝
Another point. My 95 year old father has been vegetarian most of his adult life, eating only dairy, soy and legumes for protein. His health has been exceptional and he is still mildly active everyday. He has some recent memory loss, but is still coherent most of the time. My 94 year old mother had a quadruple bypass in her early 60’s, and changed her diet radically to eliminate red meat except on special occasions. She is in great health for her age. Her mind is still sharp, which is supported by a healthy diet, daily reading, as well as staying in close contact with family and friends and carrying on long conversations about complex topics. They do both take various medications to treat typical health conditions at their age, but seem happy and find enjoyment in each day. BTW, they’ve been divorced from one another for over 55 years :)
Thank you Kimberly, it's all about life style and not going on weight loss diets. Life style is not to deprive yourself of 'goodies' (junk foods) it's about training our taste buds to enjoy natural foods that don't have added sugar and salt. You will automatically start feeling better, fitter and healthier
Yes to healthy eating, more organic, less chemicals in food makeup , home products etc ,. What does the functional med doc say about getting enough fiber? Plant based can be done in a healthy way. Thank you, JR
Im a believer in this, Kimberly. Stalled out on reversing T2 diabetes because i think due to hormones, but I lile hearing how you eat clean as I think the one day open might help me be more strict on yhe other days. Im going to try that. Look forward to hearing more on your fitness progress!
Hi Kimberly, I’ve been watching your videos for many years but never comment. I found this video very informative and it really does make sense. I live in Sydney, Australia, am 69 years young. I have been slowly changing my diet to eat natural foods, I skip all the sauces, dressings, sugar, etc. as much as possible and just stick to olive oil and vinegar dressings. I probably need to increase my protein. I eat a lot of fish. I loved your roasted okra recipe and enjoy it often. I think sugar is one of the biggest health hazards!!
Kimberly We are the same age . So agree with a clean diet ( I grow some of my own ) Your diet is so interesting .Thanks for sharing , wonderful You are feeling better I keep my weight down easily , I probably eat like you were eating . I can’t eat red meat or white meat . I do eat sea food and eggs . My body functions better with limited animal protein I’ve found over the years diet is personal . I tend to think it could be genetically related xxx
My husband and I (53 and 59) are strict keto and most days ketovore/carnivore. We've never looked or felt better and after 3 years of this amazing healthy lifestyle, we will never go back to the garbage we ate before. It took awhile to learn that we do not need fruit or vegetables to be healthy but once we got it there was no looking back. Dr. Ken Berry here on TH-cam saved our lives because although we had zero health issue before keto, we don't anticipate ever having health issues in our older years. High protein and high fat with close to no carbs is the only way to go and the proof is there with all do live this way. Good for you! You look amazing and healthy and hopefully you'll get more and more women to follow suit. xo
Hi Kimberley, I agree with most of what you said about the clean eating, but, what about hair colour too??? that is chemical based and toxic & we put it onto our delicate scalp..what do you feel about that?....best wishes from Margaret
Thank you Kimberly❤️. Maybe you could do a video on what you eat in a day sometime if you feel up to it!! I whole heartedly agree about this! I have a husband who loves junk food and is all about eating cheaply(aka junk and quick easy ultra processed food) To be honest I refuse to eat that utter junk and have started to buy my own food seperately... Before we met I was widowed and have always eaten healthy prior ever since my 20's.. For him to expect me to change my ways when it comes to healthy eating has been need I say a bone of contention... Trying to break him of those bad habits is next to impossible.... So seperate food bills it is..👍🏻❤️ You look fantastic and Im loving your hair!!❤️
It’s like you are talking about me! Donuts & hypoglycemia, getting fat as I aged, I do grass-fed protein, mostly carnivore diet, it’s been amazing for me! I’m allergic to oxylates and didn’t know what they were until a year ago… thought it was some chemical additive 🤦♀️ Removing greens from my diet stopped the bloating the diarrhea, fatigue… and I love salads, but they don’t like me 😂
Judging from comments, some people do better on carnivore and some on plant based diets. I'm wondering if their blood type or genetic ancestry is a factor. That would put an end to diet arguments if true.
I love Mexican Food too! I think you were reacting to the peppers and the dairy. So sorry to hear about that. I don't eat much processed foods anymore. Remember when your OB/GYN would ask if you were drinking milk (for calcium)? Ugh! Thank goodness there is so much better information available out there today. Thanks for sharing, Kimberly! BTW - you are looking amazing!
Agree with you totally....when my clean eating has been upset with a cheat day, it is HORRIBLE....not worth it anymore. I have been noticing that when some sugar is in the diet it really plays with the mouth microbome and then I have to fast for a day or two . We are human and all have a day or moth of nonsense eating, look at the Superbowl tonight and all the junk that will be consumed. It is not worth the MSG, food color and fake ingredients. Keep it simple and clean. Thanks for sharing. You look great
Can you do a what I eat in a day video? I would love to see that! ❤️
I believe that everything is acceptable as long as one doesn’t go overboard one way or the other. We need a variety of foods and hopefully organic.
Great topic. Please do more about clean eating and fitness for those "closer to 70". ❤
You got it!
?? Question Do you fast once a week or once a month for 36 hours?? Love watching you Sunday mornings.
I am so glad i never gave up my butter and grassfed beef. I look and feel good.

So I will
Agree. I think this is what most heart doctors will tell you these days.
Eggs are nature's perfect food in my opinion. It doesn't harm a chicken to lay an egg. If you tried to stop her, it might! LOL
This does not make sense to me. We have been eating plant based since my husband’s by pass surgery. We both feel better and have lost weight.
Just my 2 cents, plant based can work but any extreme diet long term can cause problems. Hard to make your protein goals, especially as we age. Need minimum 80 grams a day but probably more.

Make sure you are losing fat, not just "weight" .

I can NOT BELIEVE that you're close to 70, as you said... you appear to be so very youthful and lots of pep in your step! Love it!❤❤❤❤
Also our grooming products, and makeup should be clean. Been reading about grounding, so interesting. Anyone else? Thanks for sharing. ❤
Absolutely! So many bad things theyve been giving us…
Started sleeping on a grounding mat. Increased my sleep an hour every night. Used to get 6 hours a night. Now I average 7 . I use it under iPad during the day too. Got an EMF meter for Christmas. Was shocked how much EMF comes off extension cords, appliances, and even red light device.
I’ve been researching grounding as well. Watched the movie by the man who discovered it. So interesting!!!
I have just started using grass fed based tallow cleansing and moisturizing products. Goodbye creepy dry skin!
Yep. Got a grounding mat and my fitted sheet is on the way. The mat made a difference in just days for me. It has been about 2 weeks and my body is less achy and I have been sleeping more deeply.

@@katherinefitcoach gotcha. Just was commenting, not my experience, although I’m not on a carnivore diet. 😃
Carnivore is not good to follow long term. It can lead to heart disease.
Great analogy about putting milk into your car! Our diets manner so much. I try to lead by example because I'll be 71 on Tuesday + I teach high school English + I usher at the Fox in Atlanta + I hike + I do yoga, and I love my life!!! Keep spreading the truth about diet!!!
Thank you!
terryomalley2089, what is your diet like? What do you eat in a day ? Vegies, carbs and protein ? I'll be 71 soon too and just feel like crap most of the time bur have a really good diet...or so I think . Need some advice !!!
Kimberly thanks for sharing,its so refreshing not to hear plugs of buying products and just sharing your health journey,I'm getting tired of people just selling product ,its making me tired of youtube ,but you are different from the woman our age and I enjoy your content!!!Please stay original,you never get boring.
,.
Thank you!
Thank you so much Kimberly. In October I had my seventh diverticulitis attack. It usually goes away in 2 or 3 days. This time it didn't. It went on for months. I would eat less and less and the pain did not stop. After losing 22 lb in 3 months later I went to the doctor and went on heavy antibiotics. That did not work. Then I went to the hospital. I was given even heavier antibiotics. The doctor advised me only to have chicken broth and jello for 7 days. That's when the light bulb went off. A lot of them inflammation went away, my joints feel better. . I started taking a probiotic morning and night, I'm drinking kefir with liquid vitamins and eating really clean. I'm slowly getting better, I miss fast food but I do not miss feeling horrible. I will eat of cheeseburger but it will be at home. Thank you so much Kimberly. I really need to hear that from you today. Feeling stronger in California.❤
I also suffered with diver for years and finally had a colon resection. I can now eat raw vegetables and fruits. This is my question regarding this information; we need fiber each day to keep our digestion healthy and colon functioning.
We do not need fiber. There is all kinds of info where that has been debunked. Start with Dr. Ken Berry and search his channel on fiber. Another good one is Dr. Chaffee and so many others.
Video on what you eat in a day, especially in the morning
Thanks
Per other videos I don't think Kimberly eats in the morning anymore other than having Coffee.
Thank you for this video! You have a great platform to send this very important message!
The biggest danger for me was listening to the advice of eating a plant-based diet and limiting proteins. Ever since I went on a keto like diet, eating more meat and reducing the high oxalate vegetables, my health is approved in every way.
I ate a plant based diet for over two years and my hair thinned out. I didn't get enough protein.
My opinion is that the whole plant-based diet was promoted to further damage our health. Congrats on feeling better!
@@PrettyOverFifty I think they believe that eating plants is better for the environment than meat so they promote vegan eating. There’s nothing wrong with choosing how you want to eat, but telling people that meat is bad for them and going to give the cancer is very disingenuous. Humans have been eating meat for thousands of years. It’s only since the introduction of vegetable oils , high carbohydrate diet and increased sugar that cancer and diabetes have skyrocketed I think back to how our grandparents generation ate . Lots of fatty meats, liver, well cooked vegetables because they knew the vegetables except the stomach. My grandmothers generation had very little cancer, but my mothers generation had a lot of cancer so if eating a low fat diet really work, why is cancer about to overtake heart disease is the biggest killer ? we’re not getting healthy or we’re getting sicker. I have been following Dr Ken Berry and I’m no longer on blood pressure meds and my hashimoto is in remission!
@@lynnsalberg5647 Totally agree!!
Oh please 🙄
Thank you ,Kimberly for sharing your experience which validates what I have also recently adapted.
Of course a body needs vegetables
Amen!! I've been keto for years, and a few months ago I switched to Carnivore. Never felt better.
Great video!!!! I really enjoyed the subject matter. I too after being a plant based no oil vegan for over 12 years changed my diet to one very similar to yours about a year ago. I realized I was eating tons of carbohydrates and sugar and not enough protein for a 69 year old women and not paying more attention to muscle loss and prevention. So much information and knowledgeable doctors to help mostly online. Only problem it freaked my traditional 75 year doctor that my cholesterol went up a lot from prior test. I know now that its triglycerides and HDL which are more important which mine are great. Maybe you do a video on that too! Please post a link to the Grass fed meat company you buy from. Thank you!!
So loved this video. Just starting on the same protein journey. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I supremely love Mexican food, and it's the only thing I'm craving. I know there are tons of nay sayers, so I truly applaud you for taking the courage to step out.
This video was so validating for me!! I have been Carnivore for a month, splurged on one meal, and have been in bed for two days!
I to experience all of those things when my diet changes. Puffy face,congestion and headaches. Thank you for this info. I'm a work in progress.
I did the carnivore diet for about 2 months and lost weight, but I am a fragile diabetic and it sent my glucose sky high, then I would give myself insulin and drop to levels of fainting. I also did not feel well at all and was very weak. So glad it worked for you and that you feel so well.
That diet is not for everyone!
I am really looking forward to more of these videos! Good for you Kimberly😃
What’s good for one person isn’t necessary good for another we all are different I’m on the Dash diet my doctor said that this diet and the Mediterranean diet the best diets she said that are good they don’t limit you everything in moderation. I’m 70 years old I want to live a healthy long life and as I said to my doctor I want to enjoy my life while I’m here and everything now I do I do it in moderation I exercise by walking and lifting weights I hate diets and most diets limits me and I’m not having that at my age now but we all want to live a good healthy life while we are here. I wish you well and I hope you keep stay healthy and well. TYFS
I understand you are on the honeymoon phase of this new diet. However, these diets that cut out certain food groups are not good long term. We need to eat sensibly. Lean meats, fruits, veggies and some fat within reason. It’s all about balance. Check out what happened to TH-camr 50PlusBeauty by following a Carnivore diet long term. She ended up having a stroke.
She had a hole in her heart!,IBS and other health issues. It is extremely important to have our medical check up prior to starting any changes in our nutrition. . Then monitor every six month IMO. Beth ate lots of McDonald burgers ,without bun, but they re not clean we are all searching and doing our best. Cheers
Agree, but at the same time cutting fruits and veggies out of your diet is not good long term.
Kimberly, I believe you are sooo right on!! Most food is pure junk and we must realize it. I am on the same quest as you are, plus working on myself spiritually almost 24/7, and loving it. It really matters what we put into our bodies AND our minds. Enjoying your other channel too. ALL you do is what ladies our age need. I´m 65 and just embarked on a second career as a Reiki Master; moved into my new business space last week and Iḿ so excited - at 65! People can´t believe I FEEL like starting something new - but with changes I´ve made in my life, I feel new. Thank you for everything you bring to us.
Good luck!
O me too !
What does Connie say about eating vegetables?
So good to hear this. I am also a relaxed carnivore (yup Kimberly that is the name of our protocol). Lost 20 pounds in 6 months. Don’t want to loose anymore as I am in my 60s. I don’t allow a cheat day for me it’s just asking for trouble when it comes to cravings. I don’t have cravings now and like you joints are good , clear mind, energetic and sometimes folks think I’m weird ha
Anyway, glad for the video because now and again I wonder what would happen if I add a veggie such as avocado hmmmmm. Cannt wait for your fitness video. Cheers
Kimberly, thank you so much for talking about this. Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride created the GAPS diet and it healed my digestive issues. I’ve never felt better. It would be a treat if you could interview her. She’s amazing. Blessings to you.
I believe this so much! Thanks for sharing.
you said you eat clean so frequently. but u ate clean when u were eating micro greens! clean doesn't mean low carb... i live on an organic farm
I'm totally with you on the garbage that's in processed foods & I try to avoid if possible. But do you really eat no veggies? My body feels awful without veggies...plus I can grow most of them myself, so guaranteed organic & a bit self-sufficient 😊
Eyes wide open. So refreshing!! Love all your content!!❤
There are eating establishments that do offer healthier food choices. It is up to the individual where and what you buy!
Dr. Weils True Food Kitchen is one.
Exactly...she brought it on herself!!
What a great video!! Everything explained in a caring, easy to understand manner. Thank you, Kimberley - even if during the video I felt like you had been in my kitchen peering over my shoulder 😀
I believe in everything you said except for one..I'm 73 I workout every day and eat healthy most of the time. I have osteoporosis and have fractured both hips at different times. This was not the beginning of the end for me. Because I worked out the healing process went fast and I was back at working out again in no time. My only problem these days is one of the hips has arthritis and because of this I do have pain, but I am determined to work through this and hopefully be back to doing the things I love. Getting older can be a pain in the butt but its how you live your life and its better then the alternative. Thanks for a great video.
I was doing keto and lost 30lbs. and felt good. Then I went and got bloodwork done and my cholesterol was 355. So my doctor told me to eat chicken and turkey and fish, I was also put on a statin. I’ve gained my weight back and don’t feel so good. I want to go back on keto, but I’m worried about my cholesterol. My doctor said my cholesterol has always been a bit high, and thinks it’s hereditary. I don’t know what I should do.
Kimberly you just have to give us an update on how you style your hair, this very straight face hugging bob is gorgeous, you look the best ever.
Thank you Kimberly, I needed to hear this today!!
I LOVE that you fast ! After reading DrJjason Fung's books and watching Dr Jamnadas you tube videos on fasting and eating right, I turned my blood work around.
I had to laugh listening to you here because last week i made and ate a good portion of a sugary coffee cake. The result was swollen fingers and pain in my hands and it has taken a week to dissipate.I am now on a water only fast to clear out the toxins
and taking Berberine to lower my blood sugar.........Oh well, we all need a little reminder by way of an indulgence , Right?
The same thing happens to me whenever I have sugar.
Have you had your AIC tested?@@AyaSmith-rb2hp
Siete brand makes great totally clean Almond Flour Tortillas - now in most all grocery stores in freezer section.
You can make great tacos at home with grass-fed beef and clean ingredients …. BTW a bit of corn ok… if organic … organic corn is not GMO or Monsanto chemical seeds…. glad you are catching up on clean food eating.
Great vlog! I eat very much like you do. You have inspired today to start fasting more!
Oh I needed to hear this. Thankyou!
Thank you very much for your information on this subject and inspiration! I live in your area and find eating clean very difficult but am inspired to get back on the wagon. Thank you for the information so appreciated!
I could not agree with you more!
Been eating keto then carnivore for 3+ years. I’m 62. Lost 70 pounds which I’ve kept off. Feel better than ever. Carbs and seed oils are the two worst things for us all in my opinion. I do need to incorporate more exercise especially weight bearing things. You’re inspiring me! Thanks! ❤
I can SO relate to your story! Thanks for sharing your experience!
I totally agree - very useful video so many people do not realize how food affects not only your weight but everything else! I’m working on changing my food in my life so that I can be healthier and stronger!!! Nothing worse than getting up in the morning and feel like you went through 8 rounds of boxing!!!! You are absolutely beautiful inside and out!❤
I couldn't agree with you more. The difference in the way I eat is protein the junk is night and day. Couldn't keep eating all the garbage. Great video Kimberly! ❤
I've been eating clean since '93 when I decided to lose 80#, at the time it didn't have a name. Now it's basically known as keto/keto like. In the last 7 years, protein has taken priority. 65 and feeling good 😊
Diet is everything! I worked with a nutritionist too. It’s been a year now and I know when I fall off the healthy eating wagon. The same symptoms you described. I used to cook fabulous meals and bake every weekend. No more. I read labels and eat clean food cooked simply.
i love your station. long time follower. i have to say i was suprised when u went from micro greens and plant based diet to eating steak!
The Mediterranean Diet is the most highly recommended diet by Registered Dietians, who are licensed nutrition professionals and cardiologists. It's not too restrictive, is easy to stay on and yields great health results.
So happy you are feeling great. After 10 years low carb just a word of caution after an initial health boon, less than 200 carbs a day can mess with hormones long term. Low carb not great for those with hypo-thyroid conditions. Fruit, honey, raw dairy etc. very healthy, especially if you exercise more than average. On your cheat days take digestive enzymes, Vitamin E and aspirin (yes natural aspirin) to off set. Also for my treat day and when I crave Mexican food I make tacos with non gmo sprouted organic corn tortillas from sprouts. I fill them with grass fed steak, raw cheddar cheese, some salsa, so delicious and feel great next day too.
Everything is a balance. Healthy eating, organic, exercise. If you want to have one day with a little indulgence that is ok. Kimberly you look wonderful, but I think the Mexican meal was a little over the top. That was a lot of food, lol love Mexican food, but again balance. Thank you
so pretty at 67 , i am really following your channel, just 52 now and feeling really old
I’ll be 82 this November! You’re are a baby! 😊
Looking good Kimberly. Very interesting 😊
Hi Kimberly, I've just watched about 10 of your latest videos, had been a subscriber for awhile, but suddenly your videos appeared in my feed, and you are just so adorable, relatable and all of your advice so helpful and useful. I live in South Florida and dream about moving back out to Southern CA!! I'm so glad you love it in the Villages, but don't you miss CA and Lake Tahoe? I actually went from NYC, to Lake Tahoe, to San Diego, to Palm Beach......I miss all the mountains in CA all the hiking and the Pacific Ocean. Have lived in S. FL 20 yrs too long and dream about getting back out to the West Coast of the country. Loved this video, your Elf Makeup review and your Jones Road Review! I signed up for your newsletter, even though I get way too much email. Thank you for all your great tips, your enthusiasm and postivity is so appreciated 💝
Yes, this is so true. I experienced the same type of thing. You are what you eat😉😊 great video 🌸
Another point. My 95 year old father has been vegetarian most of his adult life, eating only dairy, soy and legumes for protein. His health has been exceptional and he is still mildly active everyday. He has some recent memory loss, but is still coherent most of the time. My 94 year old mother had a quadruple bypass in her early 60’s, and changed her diet radically to eliminate red meat except on special occasions. She is in great health for her age. Her mind is still sharp, which is supported by a healthy diet, daily reading, as well as staying in close contact with family and friends and carrying on long conversations about complex topics. They do both take various medications to treat typical health conditions at their age, but seem happy and find enjoyment in each day. BTW, they’ve been divorced from one another for over 55 years :)
Thank you so much for sharing examples and giving us information and your insight!
Looking forward to your health update!
Loved this video! Been doing carnivore and feeling so much better. Waiting for the weight loss!
Thank you Kimberly, it's all about life style and not going on weight loss diets. Life style is not to deprive yourself of 'goodies' (junk foods) it's about training our taste buds to enjoy natural foods that don't have added sugar and salt. You will automatically start feeling better, fitter and healthier
Yes to healthy eating, more organic, less chemicals in food makeup , home products etc ,. What does the functional med doc say about getting enough fiber? Plant based can be done in a healthy way. Thank you, JR
Im a believer in this, Kimberly. Stalled out on reversing T2 diabetes because i think due to hormones, but I lile hearing how you eat clean as I think the one day open might help me be more strict on yhe other days. Im going to try that. Look forward to hearing more on your fitness progress!
Hi Kimberly, I’ve been watching your videos for many years but never comment. I found this video very informative and it really does make sense. I live in Sydney, Australia, am 69 years young. I have been slowly changing my diet to eat natural foods, I skip all the sauces, dressings, sugar, etc. as much as possible and just stick to olive oil and vinegar dressings. I probably need to increase my protein. I eat a lot of fish. I loved your roasted okra recipe and enjoy it often. I think sugar is one of the biggest health hazards!!
Wow....great video! Please share some ideas....what you eat in a day! I need ideas....
Kimberly We are the same age . So agree with a clean diet ( I grow some of my own ) Your diet is so interesting .Thanks for sharing , wonderful You are feeling better
I keep my weight down easily , I probably eat like you were eating .
I can’t eat red meat or white meat .
I do eat sea food and eggs .
My body functions better with limited animal protein
I’ve found over the years diet is personal . I tend to think it could be genetically related xxx
I agree. I do think we need veggies and fruit. I try to buy organjc and seasonal.
I could not live without my veggies...and I wont
My husband and I (53 and 59) are strict keto and most days ketovore/carnivore. We've never looked or felt better and after 3 years of this amazing healthy lifestyle, we will never go back to the garbage we ate before. It took awhile to learn that we do not need fruit or vegetables to be healthy but once we got it there was no looking back. Dr. Ken Berry here on TH-cam saved our lives because although we had zero health issue before keto, we don't anticipate ever having health issues in our older years. High protein and high fat with close to no carbs is the only way to go and the proof is there with all do live this way. Good for you! You look amazing and healthy and hopefully you'll get more and more women to follow suit. xo
Excellent video!! Thank you Kimberly. I started with protein recently and I feel better too.
Congratulations to you and your daughter!
You can find organic corn tortillas. I only eat organic corn products due to GMO
Thanks so much, Kimmy. This is very informative for me. ❤
Hi Kimberley, I agree with most of what you said about the clean eating, but, what about hair colour too??? that is chemical based and toxic & we put it onto our delicate scalp..what do you feel about that?....best wishes from Margaret
Thank you Kimberly❤️. Maybe you could do a video on what you eat in a day sometime if you feel up to it!! I whole heartedly agree about this! I have a husband who loves junk food and is all about eating cheaply(aka junk and quick easy ultra processed food) To be honest I refuse to eat that utter junk and have started to buy my own food seperately... Before we met I was widowed and have always eaten healthy prior ever since my 20's.. For him to expect me to change my ways when it comes to healthy eating has been need I say a bone of contention... Trying to break him of those bad habits is next to impossible.... So seperate food bills it is..👍🏻❤️ You look fantastic and Im loving your hair!!❤️
Please share what you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I totally agree with you Kimberly!! I am 61 years old and do Keto and feel about 25. No more pain in my knees, back etc. Best way to eat ever!!
Fantastic video! Your channel just gets better and better. Please link where you purchase your meats from. I'm putting my journey as a priority now.
Thank you for posting this - you are so right!
Same here! It’s the flour and corn! If I go out I only get the protein and veggies!!!
It’s like you are talking about me! Donuts & hypoglycemia, getting fat as I aged, I do grass-fed protein, mostly carnivore diet, it’s been amazing for me! I’m allergic to oxylates and didn’t know what they were until a year ago… thought it was some chemical additive 🤦♀️ Removing greens from my diet stopped the bloating the diarrhea, fatigue… and I love salads, but they don’t like me 😂
Wow! What an inspiration!
Judging from comments, some people do better on carnivore and some on plant based diets. I'm wondering if their blood type or genetic ancestry is a factor. That would put an end to diet arguments if true.
I love Mexican Food too! I think you were reacting to the peppers and the dairy. So sorry to hear about that. I don't eat much processed foods anymore. Remember when your OB/GYN would ask if you were drinking milk (for calcium)? Ugh! Thank goodness there is so much better information available out there today. Thanks for sharing, Kimberly! BTW - you are looking amazing!
Yes! I became carnivore 2 months before turning 70. I am now 71. I feel and look do much younger!😊
I love watching your videos and I love eating healthy! You look amazing!
I just started a channel and uploaded my first video and it’s really scary!
Agree with you totally....when my clean eating has been upset with a cheat day, it is HORRIBLE....not worth it anymore. I have been noticing that when some sugar is in the diet it really plays with the mouth microbome and then I have to fast for a day or two . We are human and all have a day or moth of nonsense eating, look at the Superbowl tonight and all the junk that will be consumed. It is not worth the MSG, food color and fake ingredients. Keep it simple and clean. Thanks for sharing. You look great
