That is very exciting for you! I wish you much success and good health!

Thks for short fast answer😊

You keep on keeping on. Keep on the plan. A stall is defined as 5-6 weeks with no fat loss, and no change in body measurements. So, measure each week. take pictures. keep a record. And keep going.

Stalls are very normal in any weight loss journey. Just stay the course. Especially with carnivore, you may have a lot of healing going on and that can take some time. The other thing to consider is that your calorie deficit (I know I know) may be to large. So you can try bringing your calories up a bit. This will allow your body to rebalance energy needs and then be willing to give up weight again.

Hey there Susan~ your channel came across my feed this morning, so this is first post I've seen. Thought I'd answer your question while I'm here, as far as giving up certain ritual/favorite, stalls, etc. I've been eating this way for a few yrs now, having started smack in the middle of "active" menopause, 56 yrs old, 5"6 & 196lbs. The first many, MANY months I lost zero weight~ my husband dropped 60 lbs. Thank goodness I gained all the other amazing benefits or I may not have continued, at least initially. Besides hormonal upheaval, I discovered I was undereating, which can happen for some, since meat is so satiating. I did experience a bit of recomposition, maybe one size down in jeans over that first year or so. When I was finally able to get my protein & fat up~ especially the fat, for me~ I did eventually drop 30lbs that second year. I leveled out around 165 for another solid year, but also increased my physical activity, so I gained some add'l muscle & things were still rearranging. My main point being, not all of us lose weight right away at all~ though it's not the majority. I'm 59 now, still hanging out around 160-165. We downsized a couple years ago into a 21 ft mini Class C motorhome, so my own "eBay horde" was donated in full~ three 16ft box truck loads~ to a local charity thrift store. It was far less painful than anticipated, since once the decision was made, there was no going back. I now stick to "smalls", even though we've landed in a tiny home base & are no longer on the road fulltime. Also, the pressure to list is no longer there, since some other small financial changes have taken place. We don't require a lot to live, so that helps too~ not high maintenence, so to speak. Ok, should hush now. Just wanted to introduce myself, share a bit that may resonate w/others. Plus, we have enough similarities that I was interested enough to listen through the whole video~ which is a solid indicator for meThanks so much for sharing where you're at, sounds like you've got a good grasp on where you're headed~ though it's more than fine to not have it all nailed down, imho. Good to meet you, so to speak! Samantha in AZ

So proud of you Susan. You're like real and honest. I just passed my 8th week yesterday and I am now noticing l am a sugar addict. I find myself wanting to get just 1 donut or a pint instead of a gallon of ice cream. It's hard when I've always been so active to suddenly be old - 80 on Halloween! But I see 93 and 95 year olds running circles around me. I intend to catch them. Thanks for sharing and caring.

Dairy prevents weight loss. Actually it causes weight gain on any diet. When you quit dairy, give it time it takes more time than you think. For me it was few months. Quitting coffee is not needed to lose weight. Actually coffee helps weight loss. If you have Hashimoto avoid dairy big time. Carnivore is not the best diet for Hashimoto.. Carbs are essential for thyroid health. You need to help your thyroid up and it will take care of the excess weight.

Strange thing happened to me in the middle of the month. I got bronchitis really bad and was in bed for four days. I had no appetite and I pretty much just drink liquids. I didn’t want coffee and that never happens. I still haven’t gone back to coffee. And I feel really good about that. I’m the person that said in my carnivore groups no way I will never give up coffee. But I think coffee gave up me.

Wow!! That is amazing, Susan! I’m excited to hear what happens next!

Does decafe cause issues! I can't deal with caffeine at all! I went a year on Carnivore then started drinking a cup of decafe with heavy cream and just a bit of cheese here and there! I am 17 mo. on Carnivore and loosing has been very very hard! I am sure I am insulin resistant UGH!

I can't believe how much your story mirrors mine, which is why I subscribed yesterday. I've been ketovore since June 25th. Last year I was diagnosed with acute uveitis and cataracts. One day I realized I was looking at my phone without glasses. So many other great things have happened that I'd shout it from the rooftops if I could. Looking forward to more content

My solution, just a suggestion for those who are really serious about LOSING WEIGHT: Try to go for an ALL RED MEAT diet-- as in just steaks... only ..(with a few minor exceptions) (and my go to for now is mostly T-Bones because they are on sale at my local Farm Market Butcher Store for $6.33/pound !!) Here is what I do: Around 11 a.m. I trim up about 8 ounces or steak-- trimming OFF most of the FAT-- and I cut the meat into very small bite size bits-- and heat this on a very low flame until it is just brown on the outside... season with salt and pepper -- and finally, flavor with garlic-parmesan sauce (Sweet Baby Rays is a 0-0-0) or sometimes with a Bar-B-Que sauce, also 0-0-0...-- I tend to eat only about half of this portion, but I may pick at it off and on until supper time... and then, about 6:30 p.m.-- I do the same thing as above... again... Now, out of habit, I may pick at the left-over bites for a snack whenever the mood hits.. Also, if I MUST SNACK later in the day, I have a supply of pork rinds...( Lowrey's are the best in my opinion-- a micro-wave product that comes out hot and crackling after a minute and a half in the micro-wave....)(they are neat based and very light) Now here is an OPTIONAL kicker: ( I have a good supply of Kopiko coffee flavored CANDY) Eat these individually wrapped candy (I know... I know...) which contain about 1.5 GRAMS of sugar per piece or about 1/20th or an ounce of SUGAR-- and if you eat about 10 pieces MAX then you should NOT lose or go out of Ketosis... ( and, I DO NOT feel that I am addicted to sugar and feel NO NEED to eat any more sugary things) (I do feel that a little bit of sugar is helpful for certain reasons of my own stupid brain..) (but I DO NOT feel compelled to eat more, I often only have one or two per day..) And that's all you get folks... and that's all you need AND maybe YOU try for a week or two.. And yes, I have ONE Large cup of black coffee... (and also my coffee candies at hand) And I only drink WATER, and at times I add electrolyte flavors to my house brand WELL WATER.. I am male, older, 6'1"... was 300 or so lbs. six months ago... Now, 210 lbs.-- 8 INCHES less waist size.. and still losing.... and NO STALLING... Losing pounds every WEEK continuously... And, to and for me... this WORKS BEST for WEIGHT loss... if you limit to about 8 oz. of steak pre-cooked-- TWICE PER DAY... and if you only eat 4 oz. and pick at the rest-- You do not really need to skip breakfast in my opinion... just eat a few little bits of steak -- (I don't even warm it up anymore).. so, Well, then you are EATING and thus swallowing about ONE POUND of food per day MAX.!! or LESS as you discipline yourself...!! as a limit!! (discipline now) So how much weight can you gain doing that ?? Intelligent questions and reasoning why this works so well... I will be happy to answer... I am just a happy guy who wants to share this amazing weight loss plan... simply.. Robert

You have just gained a subscriber! I love your honesty and encouragement! Let's educate one another and do this! I'm 7 weeks into carnivore, and you just described the same progress I'm having. I'm going to cherish the small gains! Let's do this! 💪🏽

Great news! N=1! The thought of losing one's sight is so scary. I couldn't imagine not seeing my grandchildren, sunsets, or just colors. Take care and keep on keeping on..ROAR!

Please like, comment and subscribe! I’d love to hear your experiences!

Way to go 🥳 so inspiring!!! Your doing fantastic 😊

Adding exercise increases muscle mass which weighs more than fat so the scale doesn't seem to move. But then the increased muscle mass starts consuming more fat and you are on the journey again. .. Pick up a set of fat calipers; you use them to pinch measure several places around your body to come up with an estimate of fat%. .. When I was on the wrestling team (too many decades ago) the coach would measure everyone to make sure we were not cutting too close to risk. He would take a few kids to the local university sports lab where they used a water tank to most accurately measure body fat so he could verify the calipers gave reliable results.

My advice is to stop weighing and ENJOY the process!!!! THE carnivore journey is far too wonderful to be focused on the scale. I'm coming up on my 1-year carniversary and have only weighed myself four or five times in the last year. I continue to be amazed at the changes in my body, my mental clarity, and spiritual outlook. The foods and style of eating has morphed over the last year. I continue to listen to my body and follow its lead. I am passionate about life, love, and freedom from worrying about my body. ENJOY THE JOURNEY! 🥰

Carnivore here. Also in a weight stall and have an eBay room spilling into the rest of the house. Best of luck reaching your goals

I think stalls are fine .. everyone wants things to happen quickly and sometimes things stall . That doesn’t mean good things aren’t happening .. you could drop 3 pounds one week and nothing the next. Don’t use a number every week as a goal . Are you sleeping? How is your mental health ? Are you happy .. I say don’t focas on a number !

My journey was never about weight loss so if the scale stopped moving, it wasn't anything I was worried about. But here's something I will see often, especially with women in this space: there's a chance they're eating too much. I understand the idea of "eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full", but for someone like me, that never worked. I could feel comfortably full after 1 bite or 100. I started weighing my food with a specific goal in mind. I wanted to eat three meals a day, and each meal should be enough to hold me over 3-4 hours. With breakfast and lunch I would also have a cup of coffee with portioned amounts of cream and butter. The sweet spot for me after some experimenting was 100 gm of food per meal if it's just fat and protein, then each cup of coffee gets 2 TBS each of butter and heavy cream. I reached maintenance weight eating like this and have stayed there for over 2 years. If I start to increase my numbers, my weight will go up. I'm 5'3", I hover around 125 lbs, and I do daily strength training exercises. I know everyone says not to worry about amounts, just eat, but I think for women over a certain age (like me at 49), a smaller amount of food might be just right. I have full day of eating videos on my channel if you're interested, plus recipes 👍

My husband’s BP went to normal in 3 days on carnivore and has stayed normal on eating Whole Foods for the past 14 months.

Take it slow

It took me one year to heal.

Carnivore here. Do you use sweeteners in your coffee or at all? it ruins your progress. I added more fat during my feeding time and then I lost weight.

Loved seeing your story. I started over a year ago now. I’ve lost 52 lbs so far and have about 40 more to go. I’ve watched a lot of videos and peoples journey and it keeps me inspired and educated about how things go and things to expect, and that we’re all different. My weight is dropping slowly since about six months in but I didn’t get to be heavy overnight so I know it’s going to take a while to get back and my body is healing from all the damage I’ve done. I know I’ll continue on this way of eating for life as I’ve learned too much to go back and that comes with time. Thank you for your inspiration!❤

I switched to decaf because caffeine keeps you from getting into deeper ketosis. When your body is using caffeine for energy, you don’t need to burn as much fat.

I gave up coffee this summer and don't plan to add it back as a regular fixture. Just a cup here or there if I feel inclined. (I haven't yet, so I'll keep going coffee-free until the time is right, maybe a cup of that or of hot cocoa Christmas morning😊) Quitting coffee was legitimately one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. It took many tries, and then one day I woke up looking forward to a cup, but when I went to make one, the smell of the grinds was off-putting and I thought, yes!! Finally! I haven't had any since. In terms of weight loss, the weight comes off super slowly, and around that time of the month, it fluctuates wildly. So I don't worry about the back and forth as much. I try to dance a few times a week and between that and the diet, I've noticed that I'm putting on muscle. There are days when my pants fit loose and days when they are a little snug; overall things are trending in the right direction. So that's what I focus on more so than a number from the scale. ❤

Music is distracting!

Walking every day would explain the weight stall. You're gaining muscle which is full of water and water is heavy. All good. Don't worry about it, follow the process and you will be pleasantly surprised.

When I had a stall on keto, I would eat a carb meal. The next day, my weight would be up, but then it would nearly immediately within a day or two start dropping again. I have never done the carnivore diet, but since you mentioned keto, I thought I would share my experience.

3 months ago I went carnivore solely because I discovered glucose spikes of up to 195 after drinking a sport drink. 2 months later I had dropped from 190 lbs to 163 lbs. I’m 5’ 10” (I’m 66 and in my younger yrs was a little shy of 6’). One month later I’m still at 163, even though I’m eating around 1500 calories a day. I have 16 ounces of Moka pot Mexican coffee every morning with heavy cream. Not giving it up. I figure I don’t want to lose any more weight but am surprised at my new set point.

Have you ever tried a water fast? I suggest a 3-day water fast to break through that barrier.

I didnt watch all of your video, i was doing coffee and creamer when i first went carnivore (onlyway i could drink coffee i tried other ways) i don't remember when i stopped drinking it, i kmow it was before 100 days (im 205 days now) but once i stopped drinking coffee and creamer i started dropping weight. I just noticed this morning that i havent been eating cheese or sour cream for the last 2 weeks, i havent taken my measurements yet but i can tell it in my clothes, they are a little looser. Keep up the good work!

I've had a stall too. I haven't tried to stop my coffee, my coffee is something I'm not willing to give up, even though it's only decaf...I have Afib and that does cause me issues...I tried using LMNT like many on carnivore, but it caused my Afib to happen. (Too much sodium) During Afib my heart races as much as 160 beats a minute, and it causes me to pee, a lot, as much as 4 to 5 pounds of water...or now that I'm a meat eater it's only 2 to 3 pounds of water. Sometimes it only lasts a few hours, but the other day it went on for almost 24 hours, it's exhausting. To top things off I had the Afib happen the night before I was a due to have dental surgery, fortunately it stopped a few hours before my appointment. Now I'm on antibiotics so my eating and gut health is all messed up. I'm still focused on eating right, but I think it's pointless to look for weight loss until after I'm off the drugs. Congratulations on your weight loss, that is what motivates us to keep it going.

Currently, I’m in a stall…or worse yet, a “fattening up.” I’m allowing it though because I’ve recently understood that I’m in a huge burnout and healing trauma. All that to say that I need to bring my cortisol down. Between generational trauma, menopause, and stress at work, cortisol is keeping the weight on to protect me (Dr. Elizabeth Bright). I’m going to experiment with high-fat carnivore (animal-based) for a while as I heal. Our bodies are our own to experiment on. Better to experiment with health than junk!

Have you ever had a weight loss stall on your carnivore or other weight loss or health journey? What did you do to breakthrough? What struggles are you having on your journey? Lets work through this together! Thank you so much for watching, commenting and liking my videos!

Loving your videos❤. Enjoying the real talk?

Hi Susan! Good to see you this week! I like the direction you are moving in with your channel (s) and look forward to watching.

Have you tried the sardines fast? So many carnivore influencers have videos on this. I tried a three day fast twice and lost 3-4 lbs. I had to do something drastic and this fast worked. Get beyond the fear of the sardines. The depression I had of my stall was worse than doing the sardines. I look at this fast as my cleansing so I can make better choices when I go back to my carnivore eating. I also have Hashimotos.

I love coffee! The smell, the taste, the warmth is just magical! Giving up coffee would be tough for me!

Awesome ❤
