*I lost 120 pounds in 2018 on a Carnivore Diet, I maintained that in 2019. In 2020 I struggled with some weight gain and then lost it again in 2021. For the last few years I have been maintaining a healthy weight. In December 2022 I had skin removal surgery (tummy tuck). This channel just documents all of that journey and how our family lives normal lives and eats a meat based diet.

Funny how all the longest-lived people groups in the world are all plant based. And the longest-lived females in the world over the past century obtain approximately 85% of their calories from CARBS. Don't take my word for it, check it out for yourselves.

On June 19th I will be carnivore for nine months! I've reversed fatty liver, type 2 diabetes and diverticulitis. I've lost 45 pounds, no more bursitis no more arthritis, no more bleeding gums, no more being winded, I can exercise and breathe through my nose while I climb stairs!! I turned 60 in March This is best I've felt since my forties!! I'm carnivore for life!!!

[@helenhealing]

Thank you for your comment. I turned 60 in April. Encouraging!

[@stevencraig521]

AWESOME JOB!!!

[@eduardoguadalupe7709]

Wow great for you

[@frostygal]

Awesome! 👏 way to go

[@christinekoenig5669]

It's not good at all to go Carn. longterm , our bodies need all the diff.herbs , plants fruits & veg.s nutrients God has made especially for us - our bodies . Do you know the Lord Jesus personally , have you surrendered all your ways, life control & even good works unto Him ? He is our Savior King Creator & BF..only believe , acknowledge HIM & turn unto His way, truth & true life eternal.HE knows BEST honestly. ..... No other way❤ but thru / by Jesus.😊

[@nanaobx]

Today is day 100 of carnivore. I'm 69, and weight loss is slow, but I feel so much better. My 72 year old hubby is on this journey with me. He's lost 20 pounds, and I've lost 18. You two have been such an inspiration!

[@user-bn3sf4rf5s]

What is a day of eating for you

[@davesayers5809]

Great job Sir! I did the same with Carnivore Diet with Fasting 16-8. Lost almost 90lbs over 2yrs went from a high of 260lbs to now 175lbs!!

[@Pioneer67]

Great video ! Thank you for breaking this down. A doctor telling me I was pre-diabetic last July was the wake up call I needed. I have lost 50lbs so far and my fasting glucose has gone from 117 to 101. I have started fasting to kick things up a notch 😊. I am so glad I found you guys.

Keep going, your blood sugar is still high but you're on the right path 😅🙏🏻

Thankful your husband turned his health around and is still here with you! Seeing those hospital pictures 😢 That was us 2 months ago...not diabetes for my husband though, instead cancer. Sure makes you not take a single moment with them for granted. ❤

My young son is a sugar addict. How I wish he would do this with me . Maybe one day .

[@wilmafernandez6765]

You guys have no idea how much you inspire me to start this diet , I’m 52 years old 245 pounds, I have many health problems , including, heart, liver stomach pain in my entire body you name it , I will start Carnivore soon please which me luck, God bless you guys .

[@Christinesobsevations]

You can do this . One day at a time is a great way to walk through the transition. Have your meat , but stay day by day . Thinking too far ahead causes stress . One nice meal & distraction. The cravings hit hard at night . Walk , drawing , reading , water or meat helps !

[@susanschildknecht6186]

The very best of luck to you, you can do this!

[@julietellsthetruth4811]

Not diabetic but probably insulin resistant, and doctor tells me I'm hypertensive and wants me on medication. Not happening. The weight has to come off. I took a promotion and have an hour lunch now, so I'm either in the company gym doing body weight and Pilates or out walking the company property. Finished the last of the vegetables in my fridge tonight. Stocked up yesterday on meat, eggs, butter, some cheese. Made your meatballs for dinner, and had those with some air fried shrimp dipped in the rest of the crushed pork rinds. I've tried literally everything to lose the weight over the last few years, and this is the first thing I've tried that doesn't feel like a deprivation diet. Everyday feels like a cheat meal! I can do this!

[@SoTiredoftheToxicBS]

Yes u can!! I did it and I'm a self proclaimed foodie at 64! Have lost 32 lbs so far on Cdiet for 4 months! No health issues..just tired of thinking about FOOD.ALL.THE.TIME! Sugar freak! Sleep better..feel better. I'm tall so might not lose more but will stay on it for the rest of my life. Cheaper and simple. Good Luck

[@heavy.d]

You guys have inspired me I’ve lost a 100lbs doing carnivore NO it hasn’t been easy but thank you both!!!!

I'm pre diabetic and I find that quitting sugar is the hardest for me, although I have gone down three dress sizes this past year.

[@SJPDurham]

I was diagnosed in February of this year as type two diabetes. I basically hit bread on the head, stopped eating sweets and stopped adding sugar to coffee. I also cut down on coffee. I started eating more fish less red meat. I now prepare more stuff from Scratch, and don’t eat processed crap. I also have a handy up which I use which is free called YUKA. It’s available in the App Store and also in android. I was 14 stone 8 lb and I’m now just under 13 stone. My haemoglobin count was 112 and I managed to reduce that first to 62 and then to 45. Within the last week the diabetic nurse has reduced me down from two 500 mg Metformin per day to one 500 mg metformin per day with another review due in 11 weeks time. Hopefully by the end of the year, I can come fully off the Metformin. I also find that hydrating is easier by having a water bottle filled with water and into that put sliced lime.

[@April0712]

1. no sugar, carnivore diet, no fruit, no carbs; 2.low intense activity, walk, 45m to 1 hour, etc; 3. fasting, 1 meal per day, longer ones up to 72 hours. 36 to 48 hours fasting each week.

[@paulmalotky6441]

While all my blood markers a good, I (56) am extremely overweight and have begun my journey to lose the excess through a ketovore way of eating. I cannot begin to tell you how fasting (omad) has made such a big difference already (4 weeks in). Sure, the weight loss is great, but I feel fantastic. Much more alert, brain fog gone, my mood as drastically improved. Strange as it sounds, I feel alive. Truly believe fasting is a critical component to my road to a healthy body.

[@Christinesobsevations]

I agree ❤❤❤

[@Letschangetheworld-]

I am so grateful that you two choose to share your journey with us. You have helped inspire me the last several months and I have become healthier this past year. I’m 54 and this way of eating cured something that some people are too embarrassed to discuss….. severe vaginal dryness. After menopause guess what….. we don’t have to fall apart! 😊 We can get healthier as we age and your mom is proof of that as well. God bless you and your beautiful family!

[@laurabianski123]

I have also reversed my type 2 diabetes. I see my doc and can't wait to go...it's been a long time. I have lost 93 lbs, smallest I've been since middle school. My a1c was checked this past week and it was 5.1.

[@wendy-ld5ck]

Please tell us what your diet consists of.

[@Cleofizoid]

My story is similar. Reversed T2D in 5 months (A1c from 8.5 to 5.3), lost 100 lbs in 10 months...carnivore lifestyle.

[@laurabianski123]

I eat less than 10 carbs a day. I usually eat lunch around noon, some type of meat, bacon, hamburger, leftover meat from dinner. Dinner is usually any kind of meat, maybe eggs occasionally. I do have coffee with either heavy cream or sf creamer. I may have a snack of pork rinds, sometimes cheese. That's it, I'm usually full and satisfied. I have broccoli or asparagus on occasion when out eating steak.

[@forest989]

Start out with a 15 minute walk daily and build it up. Exercise will not produce weight loss while you are insulin resistant. First step is to eliminate insulin resistance with intermittent fasting along with glucose control and elimination of grains and vegetable oils.

[@rickrogers8304]

Great job Chris & also to your Mom. And of course you look great too Laura. This is Sue, down 43.6 lbs since Dec. 7, 23 on keto 45 days then Jan 20,24 carnivore & my husband also down too 36+ lbs Feb 5,24 .

[@waynelauracary9565]

I enjoyed this video and appreciate your husband’s story. I am a diagnosised diabetic for over 15 years. This was difficult however the worst part was kidney issues. I was told in early March this year to prepare for dialysis. No way! So right after my 67th birthday on 3/27, I converted to carnivore…2 weeks slowly. Have done great, 35 lbs gone. My biggest issue now is walking. I have Charcot foot disease due to neuropathy and am not allowed to walk too much anymore. I do get into my pool everyday…I live in Florida. That is my “walking” and it’s all working great! I have about a 1/3 of my kidney function back and off insulin now after only 2 1/2 months!! I am so encouraged by you and that I found your videos, plus Dr Berry, and turned my life around!!❤ Thank you!! 🎉

Love your channel . I am a sugar addict through & through . I have quit sooo many times . I’ve learned I can’t moderate if it’s like a drug . Even fruit . I’m back ON the wagon . It’s amazing how much my mood lifts without it once I get past the withdrawal . I got complacent now I’m ten lbs heavier . Sigh .

This is an amazing story. Last year I was over 465 lbs, but then lost some weight fasting. However, early in January of this year, I still ended up in the ER with Bells Palsy because I still wasn't eating right. I had diabetes and high blood pressure. My sugar was 390 and my A1C was over 11 as well. I went full on, low carb and intermittent fasting plus exercise. In 5 months I got down to 350 lbs (total from some of the previous weight loss). While still in my 300's, but losing fast, my A1C dropped to 6.7. The doctor was absolutely shocked. I think with hard work and focus, all us diabetics can reverse it. My doctor is hoping to eliminate insulin in the next few months, as I am nearly pre-diabetic levels. It's an inspiration to see stories like these. Because if you still wake up in the morning, it is never too late to make a change.

I have some questions about fasting. Do you get hungry during your fast? How do you push through it? Do you continue to drink water and other drinks as well? What kinds of drinks. How do you feel during your fast? How do you feel after your fast?

[@lisagerlach2960]

Thank you!!!

[@Lawrence64]

Awesome journey. Congrats. I also did my reversal. All excellent points. I must say that fruits have fiber and total carbs less fiber will define the sugar impact. So, body reacts differently to candy and fruit. Intermittent fasting and cutting processed carbs was the key in my case.

[@pamburke8614]

He,Paul! Thanks

[@frankyvee1]

I did the same three steps, Cut out the carbs, Exercise HIT, and Fasting (16 -8) for the first month then now alternate every other day.

[@timothybriggs2777]

A decade ago, research showed that the body can distinguish between added sugars and sugar from fruits. Since then, nutrition experts have been recommending that avoiding added sugars from the diet would improve health. Meanwhile, studies also showed that refined sugars produce a rapid and high rise in blood glucose, whereas sugar from most whole fruits produces a gradual rise in blood glucose with the presence of soluble fiber.

[@BumblebeeAdventure]

🐝thanks for the great video🌻

[@00idc-idk00]

Thank you, this was interesting and confirms I'm on the right track - and it's such an inspiration. Sometimes I'm just so close to giving up and surrender to the dark thoughts that whisper "it's impossible" but I have to remind myself of the actual progress and improvements, and be consistent and patient. It's kind of hard because i want bigger results faster LOL... Patience is hard. I quit metformin quite recently (which I'm sure my doctor will have a strong opinion about, on my next visit) but I never liked the side effects - and it seems I reversed my T2D enough at this point to actually not need it. My blod sugar is stable as long as I stay away from carbs. The only thing I need to improve now is the exercise part - I find it soooo boring and to me it's really hard to find a routine. I'm eating alright, minmizing carbs and I do fasting. So I have to figure out a way to exercise that makes me actually do it. Going for a walk may seem like an easy thing to do but...no. Maybe it will be easier when I've lost a few pounds more and my body is lighter. I've lost about 60 pounds so far but still have a long way to go. Cheers from Sweden! 😀

[@mr.dareisayitdrifty8792]

I started a low carb diet with two meals a day and intermittent fasting. And in for days my glucose levels went from being in the mid to high 300s, to low to mid 200s. And I walked 10k steps a day and I didn’t take any medication.

That was a very informative video. My doctor put me on Metformin in April as my A1C was 9. I will reverse this. I do 1-2 apples but didn’t realize I shouldn’t. I do intermittent fasting and went from 199lbs. down to 182 lbs. My blood sugar readings are between 98 - 130. My first Concept2 bike erg gave me a stiff knee due to inactivity,but I am looking forward to starting back in a few days with strength training. Hopefully then I will see better numbers.

[@ArchStanton9]

I was at 12.8 (BS 475) when admitted to the ICU 4.5 years ago with a blood infection. I was started on meds, but changed my way of eating and was weaned off over 6 months or so when my A1C was at 5.2. 4 years now since getting off meds and last week I tested at 4.8 (FBG 68). T2D doesn't have to be progressive and CAN be reversed/put into remission. If you want to get there, don't follow the ADA protocol.

[@ArchStanton9]

To add, EVERYONE should get their fasting insulin levels checked. Most doctors don't seem to even know what that test is, but it can show diabetes coming a decade before it ever shows up in your blood sugar as "pre" diabetes.
