Even if you try to be positive, that is misconstrued as something you are bragging about. Even if you say nothing about your lifestyle, I now find I talk to fewer and fewer people.

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

For over a year now, I’ve eaten roughly the same each week. I lost 75lbs over several months (from 255 to 180) and then stabilised and didn’t deviate more than a pound or so. Then the last four or five weeks I’ve lost another three to four pounds. Still eating the same. Our bodies regulate…they are far wiser than we are.

I am a 64-year-old woman who started this nine months ago and I’ve lost 27 pounds and feel great. Each pound has been a slow loss but how great I feel is more important to me. Clearly the weight is coming off. I wish I started doing this sooner.

Hey I’m 64 too! I have just started with the carnivore diet and have eased into it, about 6 weeks. I am feeling better and still learning about the process. Can you share any of your experiences…ie tips that have helped you?

[@elainecarroll8540]

⁠@@debraabshire9291I’m 64 too and have been carnivore 11 months. Sugar & processed foods are very addictive. It was very hard the first few months because my husband was not changing his diet. I used brown butter to help with sugar cravings. There are you tube videos on how to make it. I’m now off blood pressure meds and anxiety meds. I feel better than I ever remember feeling. It’s so much easier to walk. My joints don’t hurt. I was headed towards becoming diabetic and had lots of skin tags that are going away. Best of luck on your journey. Stick with it you will see improvements. Looking back it has been worth the journey. It has been slow for me but the weight is coming off. Yes, I would like it to come off faster but I’m getting there. On days you are craving sugar or junk eat good quality butter. I like Kerry Gold. It taste great.

I’m thinking 2 years is probably a good window to wait for all the benefits of a proper diet amongst those of us over 50 wanting to overcome a lifetime of abuse to our bodies.

[@MikeM.1971.GenX.]

It's taken me longer. I was doing dirty keto. I used a lot of non sugar sweeteners that was stalling my progress. There's so many pitfalls but the carnivore diet makes it almost phuck up proof. I'm 53 and we were probably taught the same lies for most of our lives. It's really sad what the SAD diet has done to many Americans.

[@michaelreed2700]

I dropped 30lbs immediately due to glycogen stores. Then I stalled for months. I had to get honest with myself. I was eating pork rinds, plus sour cream. Dropped those, plus ALL dairy, and weight started dropping quickly again.

[@davem4193]

Dropping dairy was a game changer for me too.

My entire diet is now 6 eggs, and 1-1 1/2 pounds of beef (ground, shredded pot roast or a steak), eaten OMAD or broken into 2 meals 4 hours apart. I like to switch that up, don’t want the metabolism to get into a routine, lol. I’m still using hot sauce for ground beef, and 0 sugar creamer for my coffee- I don’t seem to have any issues with those and don’t plan to stop.

THANK YOU for posting this! I've been so upset about my stall and all these people in carnivore community have been giving me loads of advice and overwhelming me. I'm not eating that much. Only OMAD. Maybe hormones. I'm 62. But then when I'm posting on Homestead How they start posting FAILURES, "maybe your over eating" maybe this maybe that and etc and I was about to quit! I was really upset! I can't eat any less than I am and I don't have enough money to eat more geez!!!!!!!! All labwork are great. My body comp is great! I'm happy but weight is frustrating because I have another Total knee replacement coming again. I don't wanna miss my timeline for that. I have incorporated omega 3 caps, more fats, ghee in my coffee and etc. I've noticed my neck, legs and ankles are much smaller with the extra fat in the last few days. I'm not gonna check my weight for another two weeks. But again thank you Dr Chaffee for putting me at ease.

[@rosethorn0232]

Try not to stress about it if possible. Kelly Hogan and Steak and Butter Gal both said they actually gained weight (around 20 lbs) for 6 months on carnivore before it finally started falling off on it's own. Unfortunately some of us just need to heal first before the weight loss comes. It'll happen for you, just keep going. 🙂‍↕️

[@TamRonRVCarnivore]

I’ve been carnivore for 3 yrs now, lost 68lbs in first six months, then I did get stalled for almost 1.5 years after that. I stayed the course, cause I kept experiencing so many other changes. About a month ago I started losing weight again. Now down another 13 lbs. I started out at 308 lbs.

[@masterep3576]

At the start of the world shutdown in march 2020 I started keto and lost 216 lbs and 26 inches from just my waist 59 year old male body with no surgery. 18 months ago I started ketovore and 2024 pure carnivore. I did this to get rid of my back fat, as well as the fat under my arms and chest. My body composition has dramatically evolved, I have very little loose skin, and the stubborn back fat is disappearing along with the loose skin there. 18 months ago, my weight started to rise, but just a few months ago my weight started coming back down along with the hardest fats for me to lose since I've been ultra morbidly obese all my life. Since I live in Hawaii, my girlfriend next year is to go to the beach and no one can tell I was ever 406 pounds as all of the scarring and stretch marks are all fading.

[@whiteswanrs]

I started carnivore on May 11 after years of being on and off keto. I immediately developed nausea to food and lost from my ideal weight of 118 pounds down to 103.8 since then. The nausea has passed but I still can’t eat a whole lot of meat at each meal. No one ever talks about this problem. I have added back in a little yogurt. I eat a lot of fat and I’m in strong ketosis with my blood sugars back down to normal. I’m not sure what to do except hang in there. I am 81 years old.

[@KetovoreAnita]

Have you tried changing the type of meat or what time of day you eat it? I eat lamb mostly and usually around 3pm. I can eat heaps then quite easily, more so than beef. Good luck, keep it up, you are amazing to take this new way of eating on!

[@norimay30]

maybe you should eat 3-4x a day with your protein requirement divide each meal...try it in a week and see how it goes...hope it helps😊

[@karenok464]

Bless you. I pray for your strength and health.

[@tradermunky1998]

Try heavy whipping cream if you can find it without other junk in it, or half and half without junk in it. I pour over ice, maybe some water added in, drink with food. Gives you extra calories and makes you want to eat more.

[@buppiano]

Sometimes meat makes me nauseous or just doesn’t sit well ( I have long Covid and it messes with my digestive system). Sometimes, I can’t seem to eat enough. One thing that really helps: run meat through a food processor and add some spices: Indian or Mexican, etc., and maybe a little broth. It’s easier to consume and digest more. Too much fat alone makes me nauseous as well, but mixed in with the above in small amounts adds favor. Try mixing different meat varieties. For me, the nausea, and meat aversion comes and goes, but these approaches help.

Hormones out of whack for a given individual is usually the reason for no weight loss, assuming strict carnie. We didn't get sick and unhealthy over night and for some it can takes years literally years not days weeks or months to correct the balance. Some might need a kick thru medical intervention to get the balance back. The old saying, time heals all wounds.

[@cobyteune]

After one and a half year carnivore I started fasting sometimes 7 days and sometimes 5 days in a row. That went easy, because I already had ketones working for me eating 2 meals a day in a 6 hours window. It went so well. From moment 1 I felt better and often when I wanted to starts eating my body even protested, my body wanted to go on fasting. So funny. And I had yelow stool and I think, that were poisoness things in there, what my body wanted to throw out. I would not have dared to do this before, but after one and a half year eating meat I was shure, that I stored enough nutrients in my body. And now we have started doing cold showers every morning and that also makes me feel amazing!!! I am so glad that I added these cold showers. In the beginning it was tought, but now I already am looking forward for the morning to take that cold shower. Cold showers are doing so much for your whole body. Amazing !!! Thank you so much for all your great video´s! Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!

[@shinskoala7072]

After shedding the initial water weight in the first few weeks, my weight loss stalled, but i could see my body composition change. It seemed like my body was closed for maintenance as i slowly began to feel better and better. Finally, on month 3, the weight began to drop and dropped quite quickly. Additionally, i was shedding a lot of body fat and still was maintaining muscle mass. The funny thing is that for the first 3 months i was working out in the gym like a fiend, and had basically no weight loss. A stopped going to the gym for the next three months, and that's when the shedding happened. Go figure? I hit my goal and lost about 40 pounds and 12% body fat. Now i'm running on all cylinders and look and feel so good, everyday.

[@JackAtkins-tt2vg]

A crista is a fold in the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. The name is from the Latin for crest or plume, and it gives the inner membrane its characteristic wrinkled shape, providing a large amount of surface area for chemical reactions to occur on. This aids aerobic cellular respiration, because the mitochondrion requires oxygen. Cristae are studded with proteins, including ATP synthase.

THIS IS NOT A WEIGHT LOSS DIET. It is a diet to regain your health and provide your body with all the nutrients it needs to thrive. Once your body feels healthy enough, and only then, will it will feel safe enough to start using its fat stores. Focus on health and your body will eventually find a healthy weight. What you also need to remember is that the healthy weight for your body may not be the weight you want to be. If you body 'stalls' a few kgs above what you want, then that is your healthy weight. We are not actually supposed to be skinny!

@@meatdog You're missing the point and the reason the diet fails for so many. If you use it for health, you will lose weight. If you use it to lose weight, it often fails and you don't focus on health. Semantics, maybe, but it's an important distinction.

I hope to drop the 5 mg amlodipine and the other 25 mg losartan eventually. I’ve lost 14 pounds on carnivore and 83 pounds prior to that using intermittent fasting. Hopefully, if I can get down to a normal weight, I’ll be able to drop the Pantoprazole I’m taking for GERD.

But body shape and muscle strength is amazing. I am a 64 year old female, horse rider and horse massage therapist and it feels I now could continue to work amd ride for ever. Whereas before going carnivore i had decided to stop riding and was preparing to retire fron doing the horse massage... Carnivore saved me...

[@gwynhyfer]

I've been carnivore since January 2023. I weighed in at 16 stone (224 lbs) when I started and 18 moths later I am weighing in at 11 1/2 stone (163 llbs) It wasn't a smooth weight loss and I had stalls but I've got to the top end of my ideal weight despite having had ME/CFS - all symptoms have disappeared after years of severe issues. I have to take tablets for epilepsy so another good reason for this WOE. AND a rubbish start to 2024 with flu which took a bit longer to clear, then covid... resulting in extended bedrest which caused me to have a sciatica flare up. It sounds as though I was a walking disaster and this diet wasn't doing me any good but I stuck with it and I feel fine now. BUT years of achilles tendonitis, joint pains, herniated discs in my lower back and neck cause zero pain and horrible crunchy neck noises when I turn my head have all completely disappeared. The only thing that really caused me problems when I was poorly is that I had a change in taste and this made finishing my meals difficult because everything tasted like cardboard - not the epicurian experience all of us like to enjoy. To make sure I was eating enough I tried adding more salt or ANYTHING that would help make sure I was eating enough. Recovering was not a time to be fasting long term. The only way I could make sure I as able to eat the good stuff was to add cheap tomato ketchup, but not eating the good stuff wasn't an option. It appears that we have to compromise at times and the ketchup didn't seem to affect my ketone levels. What I'm trying to say is that it can be a series of ups and downs but it's worth it.

[@lavenderskies2094]

Thank you for sharing your story. ❤ This is the first time I’ve read of someone with herniated discs in their neck and back along with the crunchy neck noises going away. This is one of the things I deal with daily and would love to see go away. Thank you for the encouragement!!!😊

[@gwynhyfer]

@@lavenderskies2094 It was an unexpected good side effect! I had been doing lots of chin tucks to try and improve my neck cracking and it's not great living with a neck that feels as though it's crunching itself away! (Poor posture spending hours at a computer and doing handcrafts/artwork...) Even my recent sciatica flare soon healed once I worked out the best way to lie and stop trapping and irritating the nerve. Last year I was mucking out my horses stable daily - I could barely comb out a mane during my ME/CFS years. It does take time but you suddenly realise one day that pain issues that dominated your thoughts are just no longer there. And I can sit in the sun without burning, my skin has improved - no wrinkles, breakouts, etc, and my natural hair colour grows at the roots again which is crazy for a 65 year old! Good luck with improving your health ☺

[@morikopel]

The good doctor is being overly optimistic about weight loss. I'm 3.5 years carnivore and lost weight in the first six months then stopped. I lost 70 pounds but still have 60 pounds to go, yet have made zero progress in 3 full years since. 99.9% carnivore the whole time. It's fully worth it due to the partial weight loss and relief from gastro issues and diabetes. But I'm unfortunate proof that a long term obese carnivore is a thing.

But I'm loving the health benefits of carnivore and that to me is very important to me. I wish the fat would go though...

Thank you so much for answering the first question! I am experienced the same thing. I am 63 F, Strictly carnivore for 11 weeks now, lost four pounds the first week and nothing since then.

Seven months of eating only beef, bacon, eggs, butter, water, and salt, and I have not lost any weight. However, my body composition has changed tremendously. Visually, I have gained a significant amount of muscle mass on my arms, shoulders, and stomach. It appears I have replaced fat with muscle.

[@deniseclarkcustomart3467]

I do feel that getting on the scale is a major bummer for your self esteem when u have been on carnivore/ketovore and it shows no progress. It’s really hard to break yourself from the cycle of using a scale when most weight loss programs start with weighing yourself. Now that I have been on mostly Carnivore for the past year I have just recently intorduced rowing for 30 minutes and walking on treadmill for 30 minutes daily. Was a bit upset when my weight when up a few pounds but am noticing the change in how my clothes fit. I’ve been overweight most my life, currently am 62 yrs old. It’s gonna take some time but do encourage everyone to keep trying and not give in. I started at 296 lbs a few years ago but once I became serious about losing the excess moving to keto then carnivore I’m now down to 172. I’m 5 ft and goal weight is 135. Will get there, one ounce at a time. Appreciate all you do to keep us well informed on how to adjust our journeys.

Does the healing you talk about go beyond hormones and metabolic issues? I’m 54f and was very active until last September when I had a root tear in my medial meniscus. After surgery and 6 weeks on crutches… the OTHER one tore in the other knee, so 6 more weeks on crutches and a lot of muscle atrophy. Basically 9 months on crutches. I’m walking now and working out and carnivore for 2 months. Scale hasn’t moved one pound! But I have lost inches and know I’m building muscle back in my legs and hips.

Is there a way to get more "full" looking muscles while on carnivore?

[@cindyr4459]

@usrcrazy1 Hi, my bloodwork did something similar to yours. I was more worried about triglycerides than LDL. I'll tell you my scenario and maybe it will help: I had labs checked 5 months into carnivore, then again at 7 months. My LDL was massively high like yours, my triglycerides spiked to 180 (they've never been over 70 prior), but my HDL went up to 105. I thought I was supposed to intermittent fast, but was already quite thin. Now I only fast if I have to (like in a situation where there's nothing for me to eat). I realized I wasn't eating enough fat though I thought I was. Also maybe I just wasn't eating enough period. Also my body was still healing. After experimentation and lots of bloodwork over the last couple of years, I increased my food intake in general by adding a snack between my 2 meals, decreased protein slightly, and increased fat a lot. So I'm a high high fat carnivore. I'm 3+ years in and my LDL is 387, HDL 88, triglycerides 90. Triglycerides are still higher than I would like, but still experimenting. Increasing the animal fat made my triglycerides and LDL go down, and got rid of electrolyte imbalance symptoms. 🤷‍♀️ I'm going to try to not drink so much water with my meals and see what that does.

[@MrRabiddogg]

the one thing i noticed is if I do not get enough protein, I do not lose weight and my joints start to hurt more.

[@suziesuzie74]

I feel so good! I've been couple of years carnivore and tried different ways. I found out strict lion diet is best for me. Funny thing is that even I eat simply Rib Eye Steak which is considered " expensive" my grocery shopping is now almost half from past. First I ate big 1 lb steaks and more, tried eggs and butter and other meats but learned I do best with just Rib eyes. When I started to do just rib eye I slowly started to need less meat per day. I eat now about ½ lb steak every day, salt and drink water and that's it. I'm feeling good, doing my light exercise and not anymore losing weight but naturally showing some muscle. My body is still changing, showing more waistline as my skin is shrinking too. Together with carnivore I stared new sleeping rhythm. I sleep from 9 to 4 as a clock. Seems to be my natural cycle. I don't use alarm. Huge difference to my mood and brainwork (before I barely got to bed before 12 am) I turn 50 in one month and could not be happier 50kg/168 cm. Same measurements I had before my first child in age 23. Yay! I have four kids, almost all adults and had lot's of health struggles in years before starting carnivore

Just shy of 10 months on carnivore for me, but yesterday I stopped following it strict. I lost 32lbs - 10lbs over my target. I'm now 165lbs at 6'1. My wrists and fingers are super skinny now. My biceps are much smaller. No matter what I do, I cannot gain back a single pound. I eat 20+ oz of fatty red meat, 8 eggs, a ton of butter, almost 1 L of whole milk per day - nothing. I'm super ripped with single digit BMI but I need to gain back some. Everyone thinks I'm sick or something as I use to look like a big (ish) muscular guy. I lift 4-5 days per week and won't put back on any muscle to increase the scales. I love carnivore, but it just shows you that everyone reacts different. It blows my mind that ppl can actually gain weight on this or struggle to loose. Carnivore has my metabolism running wild. Yesterday for the first time in almost 10 months I ate 2 large potatoes with my 20oz steak and 4 eggs and 4 cups of cottage cheese. I went to bed at 168.7lbs - woke back up at 165lbs. I will monitor the scales and adjust accordingly but hopefully I will start to gain with carbs. Wanted to share with those in case they are going thru the same thing or if you have any tips for me.... My blood work and everything else is fine. I really don't want to do the carb thing but I don't see another way to gain.

Oh that is very low. I’m not used to ounces, as I use grams so thought 20oz was a lot, but 1.5lb is nothing. I’m 5’3 female and I eat 1-1.5lb meat and 4 eggs, and dairy/day as a condiment, with butter used for cooking for weight loss. I thought most men ate 2-3lb ish for getting lean and at least that to maintain. The amount listed above would be ideal for someone who wants to be 145-155lb if you look at the 1-2g protein per lb of lean mass ratio. I second what @aaronlohr8477 said, you don’t need carbs you need to really increase your protein. Your muscles are starving.

The questions about our stools is often difficult for people to discuss, but it shouldn't be. I had a BUNCH of issues with mine.

Anyway, I don't have a gall bladder and doctors seem to not care when they remove it or give any tips for helping out. They always say "your body still produces bile, so don't worry about it." NOT TRUE. I still have some issues due to the metformin (extended release does help a bit) but what really has helped is I take a capsule of Ox Bile (500 mg) before every single meal. If my meal is really high fat (like 70% or more) I take another when I finish eating. Ox Bile is awesome. One other thing and I know Dr. Chaffee didn't talk about this today but I HAVE to share it. About three months ago I found something called Keto Bread. It's Keto Bread because each slice only has 1 carb of digestible fiber, so it's not supposed to affect your blood sugar. I bought a loaf, LOVED IT) tested it with my blood sugar and it literally had ZERO effect on my blood sugar. It STILL stalled my weight loss and after a month I began gaining weight even though my blood sugar continued to get better. This all tolfd me one thing: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS KETO BREAD.

This information is usually embedded in a podcast. I can’t direct you to anything specific. You have google. The rule of thumb is 1g of protein per 1 pound of IDEAL lean mass. I’m aiming for 154llbs (have 14 to loose and it won’t budge 😂). So 1 x 154 = 154g protein per day. You would calculate the fat content out of that cause obviously protein comes with fat.

Not a problem at all, it's definitely true. The thing is that there are a lot of hormonal and metabolic issues that can affect this, so they all need to be addressed. Diet plays a huge role in this, but it's not the only factor. If your thyroid isn't better yet though, and you are hypothyroid, definitely a good idea to talk to your doctor about getting on appropriate medications, and potentially correcting other things as well. There are many functional medicine doctors that can help you with this and get you an optimal levels, And this may help you get to where you want to be. Either way, I hope that you are at least feeling better than you were on a carnivore diet! Good luck
