So, how much did you lose and how long did it take?

[@evemaniac]

In the beginning of my carnivore journey i ate whenever i felt apetite.. more times a day.. i never force feeded myself. After a while my saturated periods streched longer and longer, nowadays i eat usualy OMAD, sometimes I eat only once every 2 days. I am a factory worker and its a very strenght intensive work.. i lost over 40kilogramms and still feeling fine.. the best decision of my life

[@evemaniac]

@itsgio5573 the beginning is the hardest.. the "ketoflu" can last a couple weeks. If you get diareah get your self some sacromyces boulardi and i would recommend some supplementation too and take half the ammount what the package recommends to give your body a tiny amount an help him acclimate easier. Dont orientate your self on others anyone is different. If are fine with diary do it.. to prolong fastings and make it easier to go omad try bulletproof coffee or tea. Dr.Chaffee dont recomends coffee at all but its his opinion and i wont get without it.

​@@gomogo2000I have discovered that when i am in Ketosis, doing carnivore, depending on which fat my body is bur ing, i will crave what was stored. EX, i ate chocolate cake 2 month ago. Everytime i crave aomething its that thing that i stored. I have a sweet tooth. I could crave any pastries. But in my mind, i dont. In my body, its what was stored. If you stop eating them, i am convinced you eill atop craving them. Becauae it did for me. BUT i alao use to recom0ense me with food. So agter months, i eanted to congratulate myself, i bought a pizza and a chocolate cake. I wasnt cravung it. But i wanted it. Thats the key.

For two weeks I ate till I was “Thanksgiving” full of ribeye and there was no way I could want to eat anything else because I was so full.

you burn about 2000 calories a day just by being alive. that is the amount the body processes burn. So yeah no surprise you have no energy. seems like you might be just starving yourself. I don't know when you have this one meal a day but if you skip breakfast and put in your one meal later in the day - the body feels it needs less fod, try breakfast relatively early on the day, it should give you energy and make you want to eat more.

Yeah this is not a New Concept I actually wrote about this in my keto and carnivore training 9 years ago the science behind it is that it resets your triggers for glucose.

The bad bacteria sends out chemical signals that make you crave carbs when they are hungry and will cause binging and feels like a cocaine addiction. After changing out my gut biome, I have not had a single craving and within 2 weeks had my blood sugars down from 250 plus to an average of 129. Look into it.

Yeah they should have gone into more detail. What I gathered is you eat as much meat as you want over the course of at least 3 meals per day. This allows your hunger hormones to reset and also gives your body ample nutrition (because meat is very nutrient dense). Then, you can scale is back easily without getting too hungry because your body is adapted and has the nutrients it needs, allowing you to lose additional weight.

Lol… ate at that spaghetti factory on 1st Ave a few times too! It’s been a few years but it’s probably still there 😂 Still learning to interpret the signals so the guidance is appreciated

[@jesusmywholehaschanged]

This sounds similar to Stephanie Buttermore's "all in" challenge.

[@hockeymomavalon2499]

Except this is with human appropriate food

[@TheCravenIsReal]

The nonsense promulgated about "ancestral" diet/behavior in these channels is remarkable. Great information all around- WHEN they stick to real science/outcomes analysis. Pre-history study is THE MOST speculative of any of the "sciences". Interesting? Definitely! Possible? Of course a lot of it is "possible" But...there is literally and absolutely NOTHING known (for sure) about humans pre-10k years.☺

[@Steve_Ragnarson]

I eat 1lb of beef for dinner.. I still have cravings. Do I simply eat more?

[@andrewrivera4029]

If you’re just starting carnivore eat as many meals as you need with fat to feel full. I’ve gotten to the point where I know what I need to feel full but I have to eat then wait an hour or a bit less for that craving feeling to slowly subside. Just consciously get by it so you can understand how your satiety feels. Oh and do not weight yourself during the first 60 days! The scale is unimportant as you’ll be building muscle and losing fat so the scale will go up and down.

More bacon, beef, butter or eggs.

@Psalm_27.4 hi there. Im enjoying a protein rich way of eating with a small amount of vegetables and fruits. I feel great and have released weight and inches.

You guys are praddeling on and on. Just give a definition of priming. Then if you need to praddel on about your personal experience, ok.

I believe the correct term is "PRATTLING".... If you're going to be snarky, at least spell it correctly... 😒

"priming" eat all your fatty meat until your comfortably stuffed. That's what I'm guessing. 😂

[@dianeclarke9392]

Sorry but you lost me mate. 🇦🇺😎

[@mohf5]

So "priming" is eating 3 meals a day for a couple weeks? That sounds like breakfast lunch and dinner to me. People have been doing that for a while now. This is just some assholes trying to come up with something revolutionary by creating a new term for something that already exists.

[@LeeB5]

Nooooo, you eat MEAT of some type, and/or EGGS, with butter(fat) 3x a day, and 2 carnivore-safe snacks(pork rinds, boiled eggs, cheese) during the FIRST week. Then, Week 2, eat MEAT, and/or EGGS, with butter(fat) 3x a day, NO snacks. On Week 3 eat MEAT, and/or EGGS, with butter 2x day. There. Any questions?😊

Two steaks and I’m still hungry, finishing the third and I can feel I’m done, without the butter I’d probably have the fourth 😂

[@Psalm_27.4]

@blackola7559 Three steaks isn’t that much after years of real food deprivation. I think that you should eat what carnivore foods YOU need to eat without judgment or fear. I think that our eating culture has been abusing us foodwise for so long, that we don’t even know what to do. The food culture has also brainwashed us about body image. We don’t know what normal is, because we’ve never been told the truth!! Now, we’re slowly discovering it for ourselves. It’s scary process, but your body knows what you need. If you’re hungry, you’re hungry!!

[@soysauceballs6217]

I have a problem.. I've been at this carnivore diet for 3months and my weight hasn't dropped even with exercising twice a day, my toilet habits ar still 4-5 times a day, I fast for 16-19 hours and my food is all.on amcro.. so what the he'll is going ? Help anyone

[@jennifersatzman5340]

What are you eating specifically? Also, start to do longer and longer fasts. Google alternative day fasting.

[@sportysbusiness]

What are you eating? It may be your cortisol is too high. It may be your stress levels are too high. It could be your sleep. It could be your body healing. You may be eating too much cheese (carbs) etc etc. Without knowing more, my guess is you are stressing your body too much, with too much exercising and fasting. This video is about priming, I'd start there or go and watch the beginner videos.

[@soysauceballs6217]

So I eat twice a day with a cup of fatty bone broth on between the 2 meals I fast from 16_ 18hrs, all I eat is eggs beef and bacon cooked with tallow and the occasional chicken or salmon. I drink water with a pinch of salt, green tea and occasionally elctrolytes. I walk for hour before breakfast and do weights 2 hrs after my last meal

[@soysauceballs6217]

@sportysbusiness I don't drink milk or eat cheese, if I don't exercise I put weight on.. the other weekend I didn't exercise and I gained 3 kg

[@sportysbusiness]

@@soysauceballs6217 Without knowing more about you, it's hard to say. What is clear, however, is that you are stressing about weight, instead of focusing on health. I'll go back to my earlier comment about priming, rewatch the video. This is the proper human diet, your body, once it has all the nutrients it needs, will find a healthy weight. And you do NOT need to exercise in order to lose weight.
