5 Years Of Brutally Honest Carnivore Advice in 15 Mins

[@auroralancelot]

I have no more fat to lose. I’m 90% carnivore since October 2023. It was tough at the beginning. Now I find it easy and my body is so much stronger. A couple of months ago I noticed that my energy is back to my youthful years. I’m 73. I feel great!

You go girl! I could have written your post, except I became carnivore June/22. The healing has been profound and the weight loss perfect although I stopped paying attention to wt. long ago. I’ll be 73 next week! 😅🎉🎉❤

[@mollyanne9697]

66 here Carnivore since October 23. Down 35 pounds, at my healthy weight and I feel better than I have in years. My husband joined me and he’s lost 23 pounds with 7 more to go. We cannot imagine another way of eating that satisfies us. Food no longer controls our lives. We eat to live not live to eat.

[@BigAl-i2k]

Things I experienced going carnivore: 1. I stopped snoring immediately. Within 1 week of giving up all carbs and sodas, I was getting a full nights rest. I was experiencing that deep sleep I haven't had in years. 2. The achy joints I constantly had stopped hurting. I stopped needing to take pain meds to get through the day. I wasn't feeling stiff in the morning and I was no longer getting inflammation flares in my ankles and back. 3. Mood changed drastically. I no longer felt sluggish or unmotivated. 4. My skin cleared up of acne and rosacea. 5. My psoriasis decreased in severity and size with sun exposure and diet. 6. I no longer felt the need to rest after meals. 7. My IBS has cleared up completely. 8. Cholesterol and blood pressure normalized. 9. More regular erections in the morning and a higher sex drive. 10. No more allergies or a stuffy nose. 11. I can focus and get more done. 12. I only eat once a day when I am hungry. I never feel out of energy in between meals like I used to. 13. I can lift weights and gain muscle while losing fat at the same time. My waist line is trimming way down but my weight is slightly decreasing. It was impossible for me to lose fat and gain muscle on a carb diet. I was always either having to cut or bulk. 14. My brain fog has lifted. I no longer struggle to remember names or keep track of deadlines.

If the people around you are not supportive DO NOT talk to them about your carnivore diet especially in the beginning.

[@Livetoeat171]

I've never heard of anyone on the carnivore diet that actually got hungry. When you sit down at a meal and eat meat until you're full, allows you about six hours before you actually feel like eating again. So you must've been eating way too little.

I haven't had to put on deodorant in 6 days, no smell. My biggest issue was sugar cravings. I haven't had any after day 2. I was craving watermelon. But now, I am not. My mom is a 3x cancer survivor. She's coming off being a vegetarian. Just recently, she had her port removed. And she is feeling great on Carnivore. We haven't quite lost pounds yet, but we have in inches. I've decided to give up the scale for now, after listening to this information. Thank you for guiding us along the way. Also, I've had serious menstrual cycle issues most of my life. So I can't wait to see improvement with that. I've recently made other transitions to help with that, like organic cotton reusable pads. So we will see.

Great to hear of your diet improvements. Black coffee is all good for Keto or Carnivore, but all studies show that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption. It is a neurotoxin, and a sugar bomb. You can "get away" with it, but you will do even better without it. I used to LOVE my big, jammy red wine every Friday & Saturday night, but have abstained for the past 8 months and don't even think about it now.

[@gregmoldovan5921]

@@Trigger-xw9gq I used to drink nightly. I slowly weened myself off to only 3 days a week (2 drinks per day max) then quit cold turkey as it no longer served me. Something inside me didn't want me to fear it or avoid it no matter what. I was reminded Jesus drank with others in order to talk and share truth with them - we do what we must! The thoughts of chilling with a beer seemed nice and not very harmful especially if my wife has a drink with me and it's not the end of the day. Now I get a 6 pack every couple months and finish it in a week. If it's a nice quality beer, it doesn't usually mess me up or take away workout gains. Sometimes I'm sleepy afterward but that wears off. I understand your body metabolizes alcohol faster than any other food item, even sugar, which leads me to think it's not all that bad - after all, it takes 50 days for your body to eliminate half the polyunsaturated fat in your system, not including all the aldehydes trapped in our cholesterol and blood causing mass free-radicalization. Alcohol all-of-a-sudden, if you can control the addiction, seems not so bad.

I agree 100% with the Scale tip. I have been carnivore for almost 4 months now. I lost 10-12 pounds almost immediately. Not only have I gained it back but the scale lowkey teases me. It'll go up 8lbs, drop, then go right back up. Even if I fast, still gain weight. HOWEVER I can fit a small/medium in shirts. Before when I was this same weight I had to wear XL. I can also wear shorts! I couldn't stand how uncomfortable I used to feel in shorts/dresses. So the fact that I can slip them on now and not feel hot and uncomfortable is HUGE. I had to buy bigger bras this week, and my man keeps making comments about how much better I feel and look. I call it butter glow because I wake up with glass skin and I don't really use skin products anymore. I used to spend so much money on skin products. I started Pilates about a month ago, I have been going 3-4 times a week. The first week I was so excited because I felt "little" I stepped on the scale and gained 10lbs and started crying. If it wasn't for my boyfriend saying "Weren't you literally just screaming about your jeans being loose the other day???" I wouldn't have kept going. Also measure you legs and arms too, There were times when I would gain and be like "Okay so I gained, but my waistline hasn't moved.... but my pants are loose?" Then I would look in the mirror and visibly see my legs look so sexy compared to a month ago. TBH if you are only eating meat and not cheating, and you feel hungry. Like "wow ground beef, eggs with butter sounds so good right now" just eat. Your hair skin and nails will improve. I've spend SOOOOO much money on false nails. Now I don't need them anymore because not only do my nails grow like weeds now, it takes great efforts to break them. My eyebrows and lashes are also much thicker. I've never thought to measure my face, but family who haven't seen me since the holidays say my head/face looks much smaller. Which explains why my glasses keep falling off. Anyways I'm so thankful for everyone in this community and those of you that share you stories and are honest about initial weight gain. Even Bella mentioned in older videos that she gained weight first and now she has an amazing figure and can eat. That's always been a dream of mine, to just be able to eat and look Hot. If I want to work out I will, but its not a requirement. Its literally becoming a reality regardless of what the scale says. I'm sure once my body is done building muscle with my current intake and everything heals, the bad fat will melt off like butter (lol)

Chop your beef fat up into small chunks, place in fry pan with some water put lid on it @ med heat ,watch carefully flipping as necessary. Cook until your tallow(oil) has rendered out. Pour oil into a Mason jar. Then all the bits left salt and pepper them and crisp a bit longer in fry pan. These are a delicious snack and give you the extra fat you need. The water really helps render it more quickly and for those who want the tallow for your skin, the water helps remove beef smell. ❤ Thanks Bella❤ Blessings from 🇨🇦

I eat 100% grass fed beef because it's cheaper. One pound of grass-fed beef is nutritionally equivalent to 3-4 pounds of big store generic beef. I'm fuller on my grass-fed beef and eat less. The generic beef doesn't satisfy too long so you must eat more. The goal is to get the most nutrition from the least amount of food. Support your local rancher, you'll both benefit from the relationship.

I remember being real surprised when I just didn't want to eat anymore, 2/3 of my normal portion still remaining untouched on my plate. Didn't have the same experience with grass-fed beef however so I chalked it up to the age of the meat, figured the quality of nutrition didn't matter much if the time frame is too small to make a difference.

By day 9 of diarrhea, 5 of a light fever, and the constant wooziness--I went to the dr. That was a long day and by that night I was in the hospital being told there was too much infection to even try to put in a drain let alone remove the appendix. Long story short, I stuck to carnivore with my husbands help for the 5 days I was in the hospital. I was on very strong IV antibiotics, but every day they were surprised at how well I was doing and how I was always smiling (I told everyone about carnivore lol). They sent me home with 21 days of antibiotics, and bed rest. I received a colonoscopy 4 days after my 45 birthday that revealed I was fully healed and just a tiny bit inflamed. Another 4 months of being careful and I was back to normal! :D

@@Senergy20 wow, that’s crazy. Ruptured appendix can kill you. Did they think you were going to die? Amazing tribute to carnivore though… I always wondered if the appendix can be healed. Took my friend in a couple of months ago when his nearly burst and they took it out. They said it had ruptured in ultrascan notes but in the post op notes they said no perforation

[@Senergy20]

@@Tonisuperfly They didn't talk about it as I might die, but I was told by the doctor at A&E (ER) who originally assured me I was in too good of health for it to be appendicitis and it was really a UTI, when he picked me up to move me to a bed after my CT scan results came back, that he had no idea how I was up walking around and talking like I was as my appendix may have fallen off in the infection. He then told me that I owed the doctor at the office a thank you, because he requested just the right blood test to discover the inflammation markers (CRP) and he probably saved my life. He also apologized for minimizing what I was going through and put me on an IV of paracetamol (Tylenol) which is all I had been taking over the 9 days due to my BP meds not allowing Ibuprofen. I am sorry to hear about your friend. I am sure it was a relief that it hadn't perforated though. Less complicated is always better.

Whatever works for you is great, keep doing it. But your diet is not carnivore. You might not even be in ketosis if your total carb intake from the fruit and vege you’re eating is more than 20-50g. There’s no such thing as a carnivore diet which includes fruit and veges.

Sugar has beef in it

[@cassieoz1702]

She'd be referring to the glycogen stores in muscle meat (ie chains of glucose). Beef does have carbohydrate but not in enough quantity to cause problems. Some people blame the glycogen for when carnivores are not in ketosis

[@DDracee]

keep in mind "nutritionist" only requires a bachelor degree, no med school or licensing whatsoever dietitian also only requires a bachelor, but also requires certification and license, but the process to get certified actually isn't "more education", it's just 1200 hours of internship, you can easily work 1200 hours telling people what to eat and still not learn anything more from when you graduated, not really a job that allows you to learn from experience so yeah tl;dr, nutritionists and dietitian aren't really the best voice on what to eat as ironic as that may seems, a proper doctor would have a better opinion in nearly any case, you usually need a phd minimum to hold any real academic opinions

Bella, there are almost no oxalates in lemon juice!🍋 Lemon juice is used bcs of the citric acid that helps to make the body more alkaline since oxalic acid makes it more acidic. If someone wants to add back some oxalates to halt dumping Sally K Norton recommends to take 2 bags of black tea and steep it in hot water and drink it. I had to do that myself last night since I had arythmias again, probably from dumping.🤪 And it eased up!

[@SteakandButterGal]

Oh, I was saying that it may help with oxalate dumping symptoms, and not that it has a lot of oxalates! ❤️ This is precisely what makes it one of the best condiments for carnivores :)

Yes, but you said " bcs it has some oxalates....it can smooth out those dumping symptoms". Anyways, very good that you recommend it! 🍋💕🎉

How does citric ACID makes the body more ALKALINE?

[@cammieklund]

@@CaptainHieronymusLex Lemon juice has an acidic pH before it is digested. However, once metabolized by the body, it produces alkaline byproducts. These alkaline byproducts can make your urine more alkaline.

I started eating carnivore in December of 2022. In the last year and a 1/2 I’ve had so many people look at me like I was crazy after I would tell them and a lot of would tell me I was going to have a heart attack if I kept eating like that. I was around 210-215lbs, I’m hanging around 180-185lbs now. I used to get heart flutters and a racing heart every few months….after carnivore I don’t have that issue anymore. I used to get weak and hangery around lunchtime everyday….not anymore, now I usually don’t even eat lunch, just because I’m not hungry. Around 1 or 2pm I used to need a caffeine boost to keep going, I hated to admit I needed a nap. Not anymore. The need for an afternoon pick me up is gone now that I’m eating carnivore. I’m not extremely strict, I do eat just a few choice vegetables, and I like avocados. My main goal is to stay close to a carnivore diet but even if I eat something different it’s still not highly processed food. Well, except for bluebell ice cream 🍨…..which I’m really trying to stop eating 🤷🏼😂🤦🏼‍♂️

I am trying to eat more lamb and my beef is not anything fancy, just grocery store cuts. I am not eating enough salmon because the local sources all seem to carry farm raised, even my H-Mart recently changed to farm rasised salmon so my beloved sushi grade salmon is no more. I sense I need more Omega 3. Should I take a fish oil supplement? My wounds arent healung as fast as I would expect and I am not sleeping well. Some of my successes, though: My 20 year back injury and residual.pain is gteatly improved. I feel like my teeth are brighter somehow, my vision seems to be getting better, my memory is vastly improved, my energy is high and consistent all day when before, I had that chronic fatigue thing around 2 pm.
