Hmmm, I lost 40 pounds sitting in front of my computer. Then I started walking and doing pushups and lost ten more.

[@JohnnyHughes1]

I think you are missing the point on the exercise quote. Someone who weighs 500 lbs hurts themselves when they exercise. So, they can lose weight without exercise UNTIL they lower the stress on their joints that exercise will produce. Those people say.. I can't lose weight because I can't exercise. No need to start a carnivore (or Keto) diet if I can't exercise. BUT there is a reason to start. BECAUSE.. You don't have to exercise to lose weight on the Keto/Carnivore diet. That is not a bad thing. For someone who has type 2 diabetes and is very obese, losing weight and reversing that insulin problem in a way that is reproducible is the START. You can worry about exercise later when it doesn't kill your joints. That is not to say that exercise is not also good for your health, but you can not exercise your way out of a horrible diet. You can eat a proper human diet and lower your weight HEALTHILY.

[@igloozoo3771]

I've actually heard this same thing once from professional distance runner that if they are overweight, they don't do grueling exercises + under eating for weight loss as that is a recipe for injury. They lose the weight first before killing it on the roads or track.

[@lukegregorymusic7337]

I think she’s completely missing the point. It’s like “good for you honey you’re skinny right now and don’t need to make massive changes. Good for you”

Thanks, I have MS and weigh 320. Can't exercise now. Struggling to walk with walker.

[@ChucknMcNuggets]

@@debbierobinson You will greatly benefit from a carnivore diet.

[@moonstrukk126]

You missed the point of what she said. Like the whole entire thing. Furthermore there are different types of exercise that even morbidly obese people or other infirmed people can engage in. Finally...weight watchers has been around forever and they preach portion control, infact MOST of the emphasis in diet culture of at least the last 50 Years is placed on caloric restriction and portion control and NOT exercise. Nobody seriously trying to improve their health and lose weight is going to say "well I can't exercise so might as well not even try to lose weight." Never...unless they are looking for an excuse to continue eating garbage

[@speedyllama8380]

I don't know... I don't think it's good to tell people they don't have to exercise. They'll lose weight without it, and they'll feel better than they've ever felt... They can exercise then. For example, I have a friend who's morbidly obese and both knees are ripped and give her pain. I turned her onto a carnivore diet. She's lost about 15 pounds now, but she's still in the beginning. Of course I told her that she doesn't have to exercise now. Get some of the weight off, get the knee surgeries that you need... During that time stick to your diet and lose that weight. Eventually, you'll feel better and exercise will come naturally, and even if it doesn't you can worry about it then. People like that are not going to magically be a different person who loves exercise, and if you push them they'll just quit.

[@beejereeno2]

This.

[@wendybrooks6202]

So happy for her. But she could start building exercise in, so that later, it will be already a habit. Surely she can do some biceps curls with very light weights. I just think it builds mental health as well as physical health. 😊

[@kelliechantler1402]

Issues with number 1. After decades of work in this space, someone who is needing to lose weight should not add any extra exercise beyond what they already do for numerous reasons. Firstly it’s added stress when weight loss itself is stressful on the body , the added exercise will make them more hungry which messes with their ability to not overeat. Yes exercise is healthy and beneficial always but it truly is best to not try to lose weight with exercise it just leads them to burn out. The weight truly is lost by diet exercise can be increased when they are lighter and feeling better and ready to tone and build muscle. I understand why someone who hasn’t needed to lose a lot of weight would not get this but it’s actually very true.

[@jasminejones9937]

Well said 👍

[@holls11271]

Yes. Raises cortisol

[@Avanity1]

I've experienced that and didn't know why. Thanks for explaining this. I would do well for the first month or so eating less calories and exercising daily but over the course I would be extremely exhausted and always hungry. Then after increasing the calories just a little bit made me want more and I would gain back everything i lost. Now I'm on carnivore and don't excercise much besides daily chores/activities and am never too hungry. I actually started counting calories and realized i was way under eating sometimes because i was always full from all the protein/fat.

[@starkiss77]

You are spot on Kellie. This is what I did the last time. The most important thing is for them to be able to stick with it. Losing weight and exercise is a difficult combo to stick to.

[@misskitty7235]

People think exercise means running or lifting weights it doesn’t. I was obese and diabetic and I did what is movement. So the remote goes in the tv stand and when I want to ch age channel I stood up and got it. I planted some pot plants. I bought a vibration plate and started using it sitting down until I was able to use it standing up. Movement is exercise it’s just about doing the right sort. However any movement is better than done.

[@jadeweissleader4008]

I studied exercise science through the ACSM, Nursing and have been an active martial artist for much of my life, so I get the rationale. But I think it's VERY important information for some people to understand that exercise is not necessary for weight loss on a carnivore diet. I've seen comments referring to people who are unable to exercise due to damage, etc. My case is different, however. I'd pretty much given up on optimal health for myself. After 30+ years of searching for the right information I'd lost my young adult son, not to mention both my parents and was in severe grief when I became aware that the time had come for my daughter to have her reproductive chaos like my mom and myself. It happens that I'd been dismissing what I thought of as some crazy fad dieters for some time but in a desperate move I tried carnivore with my daughter in hopes that it would help. So I mostly laid in bed unless I was forced to do something... and ate meat eggs and dairy. I lost 40 lbs, greatly improved my state of mind and recently have finally had the energy, motivation, and mental clarity to start working out again. My daughter's life has been altered for the better and she is well on her way to optimal health, and my partner is also on the road to recovery from wasting.💚💚💚

[@MsPoprouge]

Issue No 1, Exercise, just like a diet people need to consult their physicians before engaging in an exercise regimen. You are giving a broad statement, when there are indeed situations where doctors extremely limit a patients activity. For those individuals statements like you just made discourage them from even trying to loose the access weight which will lead to a healthier lifestyle for them. For decades I exercised though pain, literally permanently damaging my body, I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Literally physical therapy is the only exercise I even attempt anymore. I managed to lose and maintain my weight via diet alone.

[@katiem400]

YES Lillie!! Loved this 🎉 Once again thank you for being real and open with your experience.

[@ramyemil9316]

I love raw dairy , so I was relieved when you mentioned this part . I also agree with you about exercise .. it is not meant by exercise to just lose weight . I believe that exercise is a way to mimic the physical strain "fight or flight situation" that most of our ancestors lived by , which lead them to live a fulfilling life free of both physical and mental pain . Great job Lillie 👍

In my experience with carnivore, I can’t eat all that much. LOL! My eyes be bigger than my stomach. A meat diet changes you regardless of what your mind says. And I’m an old lady growing young again on carnivore and no vitamins. I ain’t taking nothing but iodine and electrolyte drops in my water daily and getting stronger and faster everyday. My pill popping days are done.

[@tonygriffith2164]

Lillie, you don't need to exercise to lose FAT, not weight, on a ketogenic diet. I lost 20 lbs before I even had the motivation to exercise when I started my ketovore journey to carnivore. The first 5 lbs of that' weight' were retained fluids.

[@LMPM0909]

Right! I lost 70 pounds without exercising. Not going to the gym doesn’t mean you’re a slug or “sitting all day”.

[@Matthew-cp2eg]

yes, however with a carn diet, you lose muscle mass. the body will priorities to stay efficient

[@LMPM0909]

@@Matthew-cp2eg Agree - if you are prioritizing fat over protein. I am not saying exercise is bad or don’t do it, but you absolutely can lose “weight” without spending time in a gym.

[@Matthew-cp2eg]

@@LMPM0909 yes. The problem is there are a lot of general statements, or projections from a content creator instead based on where they are in their journey vs gearing towards various groups that are at different stages. A good example is, Lillie talks about Vit D Def and wants to supplement, however if an overweight person was to do that while losing a lot of weight quickly, they will experience Vit D overdose as the fat cells has stores of it and as they shrink they release the Vit D into the system. So content does need tailoring. Its noy a one size fits all as people are at various stages, and what is seen as half truths, is full truth to one group.

[@LMPM0909]

I found exercise flowed from a healthy diet. Many people think exercise can offset a bad diet, hence the rather extreme push back.

[@stefaniesmith7117]

100% agree. Exercise is optimal for health. Any form of exercise. If you’re struggling to walk, sit in a chair and grab a couple dumbbells for some arm work. It does not have to be intense to garner benefits, and weight loss isn’t the only thing to improve overall well-being. Definitely a PB&J lol!

[@leavethecarbstaketheprotein]

I added more animal fat than usual and decreased my protein. I gained weight, felt more tired, and didn’t feel satiated. I’m now back to more protein and just add animal fats if I think the meat needs it. After a couple of days I already feel less tired and more satiated. Hoping for better body recomposition now.

[@igloozoo3771]

For those who are coming into Keto/Carnivore with eating disorders and a lot of nutritional deficiencies, they may actually gain weight and this is good necessary weight gain for your body to heal. If you are only eating Buttered Ribeyes once or twice a day, then of course you will lose weight. But is it improving or ruining other aspects of your life....sleep, mood, strength, endurance, libido, auto-immune reponses, sinus health, teeth health...so many others things to measure that are more important than weight loss.

[@malikinvictus2647]

Correct. It's about health gain, not weight loss.

[@christinaa1139]

Carnivore eating is individual! Listen to your favorite guru's and take a bit here and there and figure out what works for you. There is a lot of carnivores knocking each other and it does not help. We are each responsible for our selves. If Lillie has something that works for you go for it. But, none of our carnivore leaders are a 100 percent right for everyone. If you have got to the carnivore diet your ahead of the pack! Use your brains and figure out the rest or your self.

[@restock509]

I think what we need to put in prospective is the fact that eating a bad diet can’t be over come by exercise but you don’t need to exercise to lose weight if you eat the right foods in the right amount! Exercise is a great addition to a low carb diet.

[@suz6529]

From what I understand, fat is supposed to be satiating, making you feel full so you stop eating.

Good stuff, Lillie. I also used to under-eat when I listened to my body. Then, eventually I had a BMI of 20 so I had to forcefully start eating more.

[@Lovepeacejoy..]

Thank you so much Lillie for clearing up the info. on these issues!

[@tamarap387]

I DO believe in all the benefits of exercise, but there are situations such as when I looked after a brain injured fellow who had one unusable side of his body and got him on the diet. He lost weight without exercise and it was SERIOUSLY beneficial for him. There are always going to be the exceptions I guess, but generally....exercise also has its own benefits of course and we gotta stay 'movin' if we can! Loved hearing that dairy is a plus for you as I find that for myself as well. I make milk kefir and honestly....it hits the belly like a soft, calming cloud!

[@Hoigwai]

Some people can't exercise but they can change their diet and lose the fat until they reach the point where they can and feel good enough to exercise. It is where that came from, start small and with one step rather than trying to do it all at once. We have no idea what we need regarding vitamins and minerals. To figure out the RDA they cut down the vitamins and minerals until they started seeing side effects. This is not an accurate measure of what we need to get optimal biological operation of our systems. They also didn't take into consideration that when we eat vegetables we consume vitamins as we try to digest them. The amounts of vitamins and minerals we need change radically based on what we eat. When you are no longer doing damage to your body with the foods you eat is also a factor. I cannot drink milk. The sugar hits far too hard. Cheese has to be aged.

[@asarcadyn2414]

There was a lot of confidence put in the RDAs in this video. They were established for 95% of the population, not the 0.1% of carnivores. I don’t think we have much idea of the micronutrients we need to get only a daily basis. Trial and error seems to be the only way unfortunately.

[@LillieKane]

Absolutely! Something like Vitamin C, I don't think truly applies to people eating a meat based diet. According to Dr Stephen Phinney, someone who eats a higher carb diet, may require more Vitamin C as glucose and Vitamin C compete for the same receptors. But I also believe our soil, water, and food supply are nutrient deprived and we also don't bathe in magnesium/potassium filled streams, lakes, and oceans anymore. I completely agree, I don't think the RDA is completely accurate nor do I personally try to get the exact nutrient requirements on the RDA. But I do think there are some nutrients that are harder to obtain from food nowadays. Thanks for sharing, have an rockin' day! :)

[@davidsalvador6031]

@@LillieKane not only vitamin C. The entire glycolysis pathways is thiamine dependent and a zero carb diet reduces vitamin B1 to less than half. Choline and methylation will be always replete on carnivore diets thus bypassing the elevated need for folate due to overabundance of pyridoxine and cobalamin. Glycine abundance will improve many metabolic pathways that otherwise require elevated vit c, niacin and b9 as in typical carb filled diets. Iron copper and zinc on carnivore will greatly reduce your needs for vit c, vit D and vit E in the immune role and antioxidant needs. And so on

[@davidsalvador6031]

Oh and of course most importantly taurine will make the RDA for magnesium, potassium and electrolytes in general useless due to increased reabsorption, changing the entire dynamic of kidney excretion and filtering.

[@asarcadyn2414]

[@healthywealthywise]

My personal thoughts: •This “diet” is a change for most people. First thing to change is the word “Diet”. Change it to “Lifestyle”. Words have power. The word diet usually comes with the feeling of grief and struggle. •Take videos from popular Lifestyle Influencers (see what I did there? lol) as experiences, Not as advice. Take their experience and add bits of it to your own personal lifestyle. If it works for you personally, then keep it. Doesn’t work? Dump it. •Blood work is done by very few people. Make it an absolute requirement, if at least once a year. You need to know what’s happening inside of your body. For example, Lillie would visually look like the picture of perfect health. However, her blood work showed her actual deficiencies and what additional nutrients her own body needed. You can’t figure that stuff out by looking at a scale or mirror. Get the blood work done! Thanks for sharing your experiences Lillie!

I think the not 'needing to exercise' comment started with people who are unable to exercise due to some disability feeling that they had no hope, because of all the years of 'eat less, exercise more ' advice that they can't do.

[@infini_ryu9461]

If by exercise for the sake of exercising it's true, you don't need to. If exercising going about your daily life, then sure. Someone who is obese should not be exercising, that is just stupid. They will just injure themselves. They need to return to a normal weight before doing such things. The idea that you need to exercise like some pseudo athlete to lose weight or be healthy is just nonsense from the start and rather damaging.

[@starkiss77]

She obviously didn't consider many possible situations people find themselves in. Her advice is based on her personal experience. She forgets there are many people with disabilities and other restrictions that exercise can actually harm them when done at the wrong time or is impossible for them period. I would recommend losing most of your weight first before exercising, if possible, to reduce stress on your joints. Also you will enjoy it more when you don't have to drag along 400 extra pounds. I think getting out for 15-30 minutes a day is better advice, starting with slow walk as long as it's comfortable. Increasing movement gradually. There are some movements you can do just lying on your bed.

[@nataliajimenez1870]

​@@starkiss77 Exactly! You have to be gentle with your body if you have abused it for decades. There are a lot of adaptive low intensity exercise routines that can be done from a bed or a chair to start and once you lose some weight, you can start walking slowly, even if you use a walker to help ease the weight on the knees. Even deep breathing exercises are good because you exhale ketones and CO2, which is literally weight that you are exhaling from your body. I really like swimming because it's really gentle on the joints but you still are exercising muscles because you are dealing with water resistance. Now that I have lost some weight, I like to use the elliptical, particularly for HIIT

[@susans.magallanes3861]

Thank you Lillie for inserting doses of mindfulness in carnivore space. I like that she does not offer the prescription like other influencers. Her focus is always about finding the balance, know thyself and back to the very basic function of food👉🏻 nutrients.

[@TheFIame]

I'm starting to wonder if achieving optimum nutrition is even possible for most of the population, especially those with food allergies and more limited budgets. It seems like most people will have to try to get as many nutrients as they can but understand that they probably aren't going to get all of them.

[@LillieKane]

According to Chris Kesser, he thinks it's pretty flippin hard to get everything nowadays...especially not supplementing. I believe he thinks the reason we live in such a sick world is because we are so nutrient deprived.

I laughed about the bacon,my son calls bacon "meat candy". I did the pure carnivore lion, first with beef than lamb and did worse. Right now I do best with eggs,butter,iodine, d3,eletrolytes, collagen, whey,and fish with small amounts of chicken liver and duck liver and bacon fat. Eventually I hope to be able to do well on others but this is what is finally working for me. Keep sharing your insights it helps people consider other options. Thank you

[@starkiss77]

Walking is a great and natural exercise for humans. You can build up and walk longer walks once you feel ready to. You also spend some time in the sun that will help you get enough vit. D. I think your uphill battle is enough exercise to start with. Exercise is mainly for muscle fitness not for weightloss.

You make some really good points, and it’s interesting how every way of eating that becomes popular is purported to miraculously solve all problems😆.

Ah, these are carnivore "bumper stickers", Lillie! They all require more explanation than just the broad pronouncements. I appreciate this video and I recommended your channel to a close friend who has fibromyalgia and other issues and is very thin, trying to gain weight. She was already cleaning up her diet, removing seed oils and formerly plant based, getting a handle on her health in her early 60's. She really loves your channel. I am a chronic undereater myself. When I ate the SAD diet, eating less than 1000 calories every day kept me hungry *and* heavy. I'm now going on 67 years old and hypothyroid (controlled for 24 yrs). I eat more, better food since beginning the ketovore into mostly carnivore arena a few years ago, but I am not often hungry and very busy on the homestead so I tend to undereat a lot. Lost all the extra weight I had gained before the doc said, yep, your thyroid is asleep and that's why you've gained 50 lbs. I lost all that, still probably 15 lbs too high, but I rarely get on the scale anymore. I can feel when I am bloated and when I gained a pound without it because I feel more in touch with my body's signals these days. I do take a combination Vit K/Vit D3 gel cap and Vit C and a multivitamin every day and some days, more supplements like NAC and zinc and other miscellaneous supplements. We order our grass fed beef from a local farm that has antibiotic/hormone-free beef, tender and tasty. We do grow whatever vegetables we eat (almost none, really, except tomato slices on our beef patties in summer and a couple others on rare occasion so we can those) , have berry bushes for in-season blueberries and blackberries and have our own free range chickens for the best eggs in the world. We do get a lot of natural exercise on this homestead, plus I lift weights so that t can lift those 50# feed bags and tote them to the barn. I never get sick and for some reason, even on a less than optimal diet, I never did get sick, but I didn't always feel good back then. We have good tasting well water without those city chemicals and I just began taking electrolytes because it's so darn hot now even in the N. Georgia mountains at 2000 ft elevation. Sorry for the novel, but I really enjoy your videos and the excellent information.We have some wonderful carnivore teachers and coaches on this platform and your style in infiinitely positive! ~Cynthia

I run 25-30 miles a week and understand the benefits but I do say this to people sometimes. Some people just don’t want to exercise or don’t think they can if they’re too overweight, or they’ll try and get injured. Since they think you have to exercise to lose weight then they just give up and don’t even try to eat healthy. I think it’s important for people to know the difference - that you can lose weight solely through diet alone, but exercise does have plenty of its own health benefits.

[@12345charliebrown]

I think you're one of the few people on youtube that isn't trying hard to shill a product or drive an ideological diet down peoples throats. Its very refreshing. I have blocked most dietary youtube channels that KZbin keeps recommending me because its misleading. I like your unbiased approach. Meat will always be a staple diet for me but Im not cutting out the green veg and I add a little fruit in the mornings after exercise. Thats my thing at the moment and I am sure it will change in the future. One thing is sure though I will never go back to ultra processed foods anymore. The supermarkets are full of that crap. I dont own a freezer either so that prevents me from stocking up on ice cream and pizza

[@shelleyboggs2527]

I lost 40lbs not exercising. So yes it’s possible. This girl is quite young….

She never said it wasn’t possible. She even said that you technically don’t need exercise. What she said it’s misleading advice. And it IS misleading advice because exercise has many benefits.

Lillie, I'm going on 72 years old, you are correct on the subject of exercise. That being said, if you sit in a chair and don't exercise long enough , wish I could send you a picture of before and after retirement and the pandemic. I couldn't ride my bike now if my life depended on it ! Come spring things around here are going to change for the better. Still OMAD mostly carnivore .

[@acron6866]

I love how you have nuance and realize that your experience isn’t the holy grail for everyone and different people will have different experiences. My problem with a select few doctors in the carnivore community is that the philosophical operational viewpoint they have is that everyone must be like them and their experience necessarily must be reflective of everyone else’s. And as a result, if something doesn’t work for them or they don’t want to try it, it must be the case that it’s total hogwash and then they’ll cherry pick evidence that suits their view point. And anything that does align with their approach must be the only truth. There was one such doctor who with the liver king drama made a series of videos basically going “see see I told you organ supplements are bullshyt.” Look my friend, liver king cheating himself/his audience is neither evidence for nor against organ consumption. Just because you don’t like organs and only eat a diet of cooked fatty muscle meats it doesn’t mean you have to use what comes across as dishonest arguments. But some of these people particularly a few doctors don’t understand this. What I can sense in your vibes is that you do have nuance and that’s a breath of fresh air in any field these days really. Like how you implied having organs is better but then added if you’re muscle meat only here’s what you can do even if it might not be optimal to make sure you get the key nutrients etc

[@bucklesmagee3806]

Yes, it's blanket statements with no flexibility. See it in every internet "community ".

[@seanveach950]

I cannot help but to wonder if this video will get a Bart Kay response. It would be interesting because all these points you bring up are debated a lot and should be talked about in much more detail or depth and I would enjoy that very much. I am also very interested in what constitutes proper nutrition as we simply have such a skewed idea of what 'normal' is that we have a hard time knowing just what it should be. Personally, I have never cared what my weight was while working on healing issues. I firmly believe that when the issues resolve, the body will work to regulate the weight. May be wrong on this, but when all the markers I track seem to be in the ranges I want, if the extra fat doesn't work itself off, then I will go above and beyond to lose it. I believe we still rely far too much on mindful eating and do not allow the body to get back to being able to regulate the eating through the hormonal prompts.

[@jameshydes6499]

100% agree. This video is just loose content. It definitely needs a Bart Kay response.

[@FAN-ho1gs]

I think she over analyzed the statements by people. Dr Chafee and Baker follow similar very basic protocols. People are not that different if you look at as a species. With exception of those with underlying conditions. This video adds to the confusion.

I like your approach a little more realistic a little showing the flaws of the diet which is necessary because not everything is perfect, I read on the comments lot of people are dumping on the exercise thing, yes you can lose weight without exercise but building muscle is still the greatest gift you can give to yourself, you don't have to be a bodybuilder but having some muscle is very healthy

I think people underestimate the importance of seafood. I truly believe we should be eating a variety of seafood several days a week. It provides iodine and other essential nutrients. What I’ve been doing is eating sardines every other day and oysters every other day. I try to eat a rare steak a couple times a week, chicken wings a couple times a week and pork belly as often as I can. Adding in a small amount of raw liver a week and plenty of egg yolks preferably raw. Exercise, sleep well, stay hydrated and get outside even on cold days.

[@ruralcoder]

K vitamins are interesting, as K1 are from plants and K2 from animal products and of course natto. Both are needed. I find some balance in eating blue cheese which contains both K1 and most K2s.

[@Reckyougam]

I heard that those studies on what was in certain foods for nutrients were done mostly on factory farmed animals which were deficient in a lot of things. Then in pasture raised animals it is completely different, but how different I don't know.

[@cuuuuuuuuuuuuuum]

The don't exercise thing drives me crazy. Especially when they say don't do cardio. I don't know if cardio is good or bad for your physical health, but I can tell you that it is without a doubt good for my mental health. I go for a run. I get fresh air. It's meditative. It gives me time to think. It's therapy.

[@LillieKane]

Getting body movement outside is a double whammy! Like you said, you're getting all the benefits from moving the body plus the benefits of being in nature, sun exposure, fresh air, gets us out of the congested house, and can be very therapeutic! Awesome, good for you! I love my walks outside for the same reason. Have a rockin' week :)

Not sure I've heard anyone from the carnivore community say you can get all required vitamins and minerals from just eating steak. Most will say nose to tail.

@@LillieKane that's unfortunate. Tbf I obviously haven't watch all available sources on the topic, but when first looking into the topic, nose to tail recommendations were highly recommend and commented on.

[@-S_P-]

Another great one Lillie even though it is one of those videos where I think we agree that we disagree on some topics. I think it comes down to the fact that we are all different and what works for me might not work for you, but as you said without knowing the person its hard to give advice that fits everybody. Still thanks for the video and enjoy the holidays 💖

Thank you! I'm sure some people won't agree with everything said but I think it's good to get other perspectives out there for others to challenge their thinking. Have a smiley day and enjoy your holiday season as well!

Carnivore combined with exercise is the key to optimal health and longevity !

[@josephlarsen]

There are people who have only eaten muscle meat for decades with seemingly no ill effects. I know that's not true for everyone, but doesn't that mean that maybe our daily requirements aren't perfect for carnivores and you can get the vitamins you need as a carnivore?

Thanks for clearing these up! I’m new to carnivore (almost 4 weeks in) and am liking it so far and looking forward to feeling my best potential. I’m having a lot of trouble with dry itchy scalp and dandruff and am hoping to heal it with carnivore. I remember seeing you also deal with this in one of your videos. Maybe I missed the most recent update, but have you solved yours yet? It may be because I shower daily to prevent my hair from looking oily and dirty, but wanted to know if you found it to be linked to food?

[@ruralcoder]

Eat until comfortable.....interesting topic indeed. Satiety from stomach stretching is bad in my book....while satiety from eating FAT works miracles for me. Eating fatty goat meat automatically makes me stop eating after 1lbs of food for the whole day. I don't eat dinner, because I don't need or want to. My cravings for sugar is 100% GONE.

[@IaneHowe]

You right confortably eat was 1/2 of what I need. Worse, my brain signals that I was full was around 1/3 of my meal. It's passed comfortably eat. Way past comfortably, but that's because I was used to eating 6 small meals a day. I only sat 2 meals a day, so it takes take time to get used to. BTW, one of the most essential is Vit C and only raw liver and fish eggs have it. I wish I knew how to cook liver like I grew up with.

[@joanneshelsher919]

FINALLY someone in this Carnivore community has taken the responsibility, and sees this diet from a WHOLE and HOLISTIC point of view-not Dogmatic! I'm getting pretty tired of the Carnivore Community, it feels like it's the different side of the same coin, shared by the Vegans! Well done Lillie❤

[@JustJ0nathan]

This comment should be pinned. I was vegan for almost seven years, and there are definitely parallels to the carnivore community in terms of the dogmatic and know-it-all attitude. I just finished 1 month of strict carnivore and I followed the advice from all the idiots telling me to eat until comfortably full. I followed this despite it being against my better judgment, but I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Unsurprisingly, I gained weight. I honestly felt duped like I got duped into veganism. Long story short, the carnivore community has lost all credibility to me. I am switching to an animal-based diet starting tomorrow, but this strict carnivore is a sham.

The main thing is, people that struggle with weight loss have trouble with diets. A carnivore diet is a simple elimination diet that as long as you stick with, you will lose a massive amount of weight.
