[@sweetgrl4JC]

That’s great! I want to share that I also felt this way too in just a short amount of time of starting carnivore. I live in the upper Midwest and I started carnivore right before all the snow we got and for the first time in a few years I was actually happy and had a childlike happiness for the snow coming. 😁

I'm thinking of trying Keto then Carnivore. I am a steak & ribs girl. I have relatives who are Vegetarian/Vegans who are due to religious reasons. I know they disapprove. And you have the Cilmate Change crowds who think cow farts are destroying the planet. Oh my! They promote "Meatless Mondays". Was told Red Meat is bad for you. It gets very confusing. I think everyone is different. Do what's good for you. "Haters are going to hate" Have a blessed day y'all.

[@Ironclad6661]

@@katmontgomery7699 That's not a bad idea to start with Keto. I did that and the transition to Carnivore recently has been super easy. When you start make sure you drink enough water and supplement it with minerals like potassium and sodium/sea salt... I also benefited from taking some magnesium bath salts in my bath and supplements. You'll have a lot of carb cravings usually for a few days to a couple weeks and then you'll feel very little hunger and be in ketosis/fat adaption. Hang in there if you have some cravings or ups & downs...tiredness....aches....it's just you detoxing off sugar. Once that clears up you'll feel SUPER mental clarity, calm, happiness and for me it ended my anxiety/depression.

The mental health aspect is HUGE I started back Monday. I was almost at the end of my rope (that’s hard to type out) I’ve had a lot of loss in my life and my mother is end stage Alzheimer’s. It took about 48 hours and I feel like the dark cloud has lifted from me. Not to mention I’ve shed 6 lbs within 3 days. I know it’s water but 2 inches from my waist too. I am not giving up or giving in. I have to remind myself that I can’t fuel my brain like other people. My brain needs ketones. Eating this way is just how it’s going to be from now on.

[@basiaszendrei1603]

I just wanted to share my healing process. 5 weeks into carnivore in remission are: acid reflux, mood disorder and anxiety, hyperinsulinemia. My 7 year old post-op scar that just would still be red and sensitive after years of applying creams, has now completely calmed, flattened and became pale. I don’t have an existential dread anymore. I’m focused and productive for longer. Quality of sleep improved. I really feel I became a better version of myself.

In April 2017 I started a “keto” journey with three weeks of ZERO carb, carnivore. Everything you are saying here I experienced in the first three weeks. I gradually transitioned to strict keto for the next 6 months. My biggest mistake was adding in more and more “keto” legal foods. After a year I had totally stalled out and finally fell off the wagon. Here I am in 2020 wrestling with the same overwhelming frustrating symptoms from inflammation from SAD eating. Time to go back to simplest easiest basics. Thank you for this video! I am starting again for good.

Never do I hear in anyone’s conversations even in keto carnivore world when the issue of dairy and lactose intolerance comes up..and discussion or acknowledgement that perhaps RAW dairy is safer especially for those with supposed “lactose intolerance”.

So...as a male with a medical background...I've always been interested in anatomy/phys, etc. My biggest change thus far...after,..finally returning to 95% carnivore...is the difference in "bowel habits" actually. Everything about my daily "waste regimen is different now: less frequent, much less "stank",...whole/formed stools, etc. I know this effects tens-of-thousands of Americans and people abroad. I think wheat is my biggest culprit...but,...being carnivore is "my way". I would be "offended if someone asked me if I wanted cake and ice cream now"....silently. So many.....so, so many people out here need our advise...it's amazing how one changes. Now...I'm about to try some desiccated supplements of beef organs; liver, brain, spleen, etc. Only wish (in thinking),...I had known about this 30 years ago. I grew up on Cheerios, white bread and pasta....and more garbage. And...the American diet....is absolutely garbage....illness is "earned".

I often thought it odd that I only feel energy when I specifically eat beef. I don’t get the same surge of energy with any other meat which make feasting a waste of time. I don’t feel so odd anymore now listening to this. Thank you, lovelies😀

[@nancymc4154]

So true about the beef! Chicken now seems like the white bread of the protein world 😂 And we had these pastured pork chops, excellent quality cooked at home and they made us both feel awful 🤔 But beef never bothers me.

[@nygrlathrt4015]

Wonderful Women Convo! Watched while walking the treadmill ... alot of great tips and things to think about. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to share...

[@ashleygabria4667]

New to Carnivore, this is a great interview! Your questions were practical and relatable and everything flowed so well. Thank you!

[@teresacesario6247]

I learn so much from you Judy. Thank you so much.

[@roxanne2977]

I feel the same way as Lisa. I want to help as many people as possible. I feel so much better, I want to share it with others and the next generations.

[@vs0063]

Yep. I'm done with cheese, heavy cream. I'm doing this carnivore straight. I've got lots of weight to lose and need to get healthy. Started at 218 lbs, I'm 5'8" tall, 6/27/22, so it's day 11.

[@ashleyvanvuuren8579]

Hi, I am just interested to know how your journey is going

[@nancymc4154]

Were you able to stay off the cheese and heavy cream? That's always been my kryptonite. Although I'm still losing and making progress, I always think it's probably holding me back from what I could really accomplish. Let us know how you're doing!

[@cathylarson54]

Loved this! Thank you to all four of you! I too felt like I was in a women’s carnivore support group! Need more! How about another one next month answering questions you receive from listeners? Nobody mentioned leg cramps which I’ve had intensely for over a year no matter what I try. Also heart palpitations, oxylates, Vit C, cholesterol, etc.

[@nancyjaynes2868]

@Cathy Larson: my son-in-law was told to drink 4 oz. Generic tonic water...he says it totally eliminates the cramps.

[@standom2390]

43:50 is extremely important for carnivore parents. How to raise kids? What about chips and ice cream? Judy, we need u on that one!

[@conversationswithkaren]

Love, love, love this video. I just found your channel, Judy, yesterday. I realized half way through that it is 2 years old but every bit of this conversation is so important. Everything these women have experienced socially with the carnivore diet has been my experience. I too am addicted to sugar. I only started keto and IF and exercising more in Sept. 2021. Today, Jan. 2022, I’ve lost 35 lbs and have switched to mostly carnivore because that is what I crave. I hope you continue to do videos like this. I found it so inspiring to hear women talking about this diet and the success they are having as well as the practical adjustments that seem to be what we all experience. “I could never do that” is something I hear all the time. Any suggestions on how to respond to that would be greatly appreciated.

[@Drum2freeursoul]

Powerhouse!! Finally after two years I find this. What a blessing! I'm so grateful, continue to leave your footprints. Amazing!! I'm about to go thru the hysterectomy surgery and will take on carnivore

[@christydyson4516]

I love seeing all my girls in one place. But I am stunned 2300 calories, and you all look so great! I eat 1300-1500 and lucky if I lose 1 pound a month last 3 months! I an 10 months in , I could just cry! Only lost 50 pounds and such a long way to go! Im over 50 but that shouldnt make that much difference. You women are so inspiring to us all. Thank you!

[@eileenharrison7816]

Hi. Just read your post and it resonated with me. Did things improve and have you any suggestions? 😊

[@dianamiller9942]

this was absolutely wonderful - so very helpful - this is my 5th day!!! so far so good.

[@juliatyquiengco1665]

Thank you....very informative & lots of great tips....❤

[@lisagray1030]

Judy, Thank you for the fabulous video. Four classy and informative ladies!

I’m a carb and sugar addict and I suffer from anxiety and ADD as well as ptsd.

[@matthewpowers9153]

Take control, start carnivore

[@CarisaWalcott]

I'm doing Ancestral keto (90% carnivore), no veggies, a lot of meat broth, 1 keto day a week for keto pizza and I'm feeling so great.

[@therealjenniferrr]

I loved this roundtable discussion! Laura is right about the mourning of the activities (such as baking Christmas cookies) that we lose that the rest of society indulges in. We just have to remember our WHY and build memories in other ways. I just started March 1st and did really well for 2 weeks and fell off (I was still eating meat because I love meat, but I was also eating sugar). I'm trying hard to get it right. I had bacon, an egg and cheese chaffle bacon burger, and 4 chicken thighs today.

[@therealjenniferrr]

Just sub'd to Laura (on YT) and yalls podcast!

[@jhill662]

Great video! I’ve been Keto now for almost 4 yrs(April) I lost 80 lbs then added 20 lbs back on 😢 from making not very good food choices such as a Rebel ice cream and those Smart Sweets(gummy fish) I tossed them to the curb😀. Now thinking of trying carnivore. I’ve been watching a lot of KZbin videos on it.

[@nancymc4154]

Its so hard resisting those goodies that seem "safe" isn't it? Been there done that 😒

[@whatta1501]

I like the comment's about grieving for the memory of certain foods and the social aspect of it all. It is awkward sometimes, even when fasting.

[@YouButter]

I’m keeping a journal of my transition from dirty keto to 90% carnivore. My goal is to heal. I was sick, fatigued, bloated, obese, low to no hormones. Carnivore is easier and cheaper. I love beef! I’m 55/female. I’m planning to do a KZbin video in the future to help people that have profound fatigue and gut issues.

[@LilCraftyNook]

I want so badly for my sister in law and her daughter to change their minds and do this!!??

[@jujubunnybea]

Call*Me*ALLIE ~ Have you made the video yet ? I'm interested 😊💗

[@YouButter]

@@jujubunnybea not yet! I’ve lost another pound though! Total 21 lbs. I’m tweaking my vitamin/supplement intake.

[@jujubunnybea]

@@YouButter ~ CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss 😃, that's AWESOME 👍👍👍 Have a WONDERFUL rest of your week and I look forward to your video 🥰

[@YouButter]

@@jujubunnybea thanks and you too

[@davidmcarthur7029]

WOW just started this and so glad to see women working thru the health issues we man have as well. Wish I could get more connived about the benefits.. YOU GO GIRLS.. I'm 65 and feeling the best ever..

[@carmenslee6234]

Do you guys eat lamb! We have great lamb in New Zealand. Lamb chops are my favourite.

[@jbloveday9538]

Yes we do and it’s delicious - but it’s damned expensive! 🇳🇿

[@laurac5451]

Lamb is expensive in the USA

[@matthewpowers9153]

My favorite food!!

[@InfiniteSoul91]

Lamb is expensive for us here in New Zealand too. The best grades are exported and sell cheaper overseas than the meat available to us here. Completely sucks but True!

[@garymichael8591]

Watching from Australia.

[@Mistymegaccinomoments]

Thanks for the encouragement. Day 36 and feeling great.

[@gretchendavis8974]

I have been carnivore since March 4 . I have lost 33 lbs and my knee pain has just about disappeared. Unless I eat more than one slice of cheese. I have begun making RAW Cheese which doesn’t affect my arthritis in my knee. I Love eating carnivore. I have so much energy.

[@jd4866]

Excellent job! Love this format. It is so helpful to hear how to get through social situations and day to day life eating this way.

[@catalinatreats]

Thank you! I'm learning it takes time

[@sharronwhite5977]

I'm 69 years old and have been a carnavore my entire life....

[@lucidmonkey3591]

Carnivore means “ only meat “ so you’ve never had corn on the cob or a salad?! Snickers bar maybe?!

[@deborahhouck1519]

You sound like a candidate for an interview. We would like to hear about your experience. God bless

[@jeanettenejadi1777]

@Sharron you should do videos about your lifestyle. It's interesting.

[@debdoll1]

And you look amazing!! ❤️

[@Laurenska100]

Wow, Sharon White. We need to hear more from you.

[@emmajane3924]

Throughly enjoyed, full of information for my new way of eating. Thank you all 👌🏻

[@takeshi_chin]

Many women suffer from Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It'd be interesting to know how the carnivore diet affected their symptoms.

[@PandaLAG]

I so related to Laura talking about grieving & the loss of the emotional connection we have with food & the people in our lives. It's hard enough for me to do it with keto, so I can only imagine. I think the good has to outweigh the bad. I stress that my "bad" isn't bad enough(??). Does anyone else struggle with this??

[@mamadoesketo]

This was *excellent* information! Thank you!

[@thereselarfield7177]

Loved this .... everything was sooo relatable ❤️ only recently carnivore from keto

[@illuminationinmotion]

Back in 2006 I started the carnivore diet. I was on it until 2013. I felt amazing, didn't have depression or anxiety, my health was perfect. I dont think I even had a cold durring those 7 years. My mental clarity and emotions were perfect. I had this unexplainable zest for life. I had lost almost 100 pounds and kept it off. Then I got pregnant and went off it. My sugar and carb addiction is so strong. I've been miserable for 8 years now. Gained 80 pounds and feel completely lost. I know what to do but for some reason I don't do it. I need to find that fire back.

[@alicec9092]

You can do it

[@nancymc4154]

I so understand. Big empathy here ❤ We have done the same thing, getting off track for a long time. We got back on carnivore in January and have had really good results, you can do this! Don't do what I did and then wait until you have a health scare 😵‍💫 If nothing else, do it for your family so you can feel great when you do things with them!

[@gabrielabsouza4497]

4 beautiful women saving a lot of lives! THANK YOU, GIRLS

[@spaceghost8995]

Been mostly carnivore for last 14 months. I've noticed sometimes that butter is giving me just a bit of reflux so it's going to go. Maybe I will try real ghee. Also bacon is sometimes bothering my system so it has to also go. When I used to eat wheat my guts were fried all the time!

[@HB-xw6im]

Nice one! You can do ghee at home it is really easy! :)
