Carnivores & Exercise: "Getting the Maximum out of your Minimum" with Dr. Shawn Baker & Kelly Hogan

[@tanyadebeer4836]

I am having prpblems with people(mother) saying, "Yeah, but you can't eat like that forever". People are convinced that we HAVE to eat grains and veggies. I just started in June. My IBS has not bothered me, I'm off my bp meds, my hair stopped falling out, I have energy and have lost 33 lbs in 3 months. What amazed me is that my foggy thinking, anxiety and depression vanished. I need to lose 150 lbs and I'm not stopping. The other problem I have is getting enough fatty meats and enough calories because I am satisfied on so much less.

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Good for you, Tanya! Are you still doing carnivore?

[@marlenebtagelman2451]

Strength training is most important as we get older. It helps keep the bones strong. I am a 74 year old woman and fell while biking, fell on my left hip; had no broken hip.

[@bobstanton713]

At 73 I have found what is probably the perfect exercise routine for me. I take my dog for a 2-1/2 mile walk during which I stop at an exercise station and do a set of inverted rows. Back to the walk and down the road I stop and do a set of pushups. Next time around I do the inverted row and pushups again, and then at the end of the walk I do one more set of inverted rows. These two exercises combined with the cardio benefit of the walking are adding muscle...at 73 years old! It takes an hour and it's enjoyable, being out in nature with my dog and getting a good workout at the same time.

[@jewelsbarbie]

That’s awesome! You can build muscle, strength, and endurance at any age. Keep up the good work! 😊

[@BeksWorld]

“If you want to lose belly fat lose the carbs and be patient”. Thank you for adding in the be patient part!! 😅 I’m a week in & need to be patient with myself. I know I’m on the right track.

[@ammovette]

[@sonaliginige9542]

Exactly. No preaching or shaming.

[@marlenebtagelman2451]

After watching this as a 75 year old woman, I started fast walking on the treadmill for as long as I could, slowed down and did that a total of 3 times. I hope to increase that over time. Thank you for the motivation.

[@jewelsbarbie]

Walking is wonderful! I hope you’re still working on building up your endurance and getting stronger. Little by little, it will become easier with time. 😊

[@CompostWatcher]

Try walking backwards

[@idogtv]

The way I explained how I approach exercise to someone not so long ago is that my exercise is for addition, not subtraction. I see soooo many people who treat exercise as a component for weight loss (subtraction), but, as the saying goes, you can't outrun your fork. I lost the weight through diet alone and it wasn't until much later that I started incorporating exercise into my daily life, and I did so because it makes me feel good and brings with it additional health benefits (yep, addition). However, I _never_ view exercise as a way to "burn off calories," which I don't count anyway because I eat real food (thanks to Dr. Cywes for that term for animal products).

[@johnjorza3037]

I’m 72, haven’t “exercised” for 35+ years. Lost 64 pounds on Carnivore since 10/2020 & just now seeing the value of it. On my first try I pulled my hamstring, bought a mini-trampoline 2 weeks ago, and am determined to add these strategies in this video ASAP. I’ll let you know how it’s going.

[@johnjorza3037]

Thanks. My pulled “hammy” hasn’t healed yet (@ the emergency room getting pain meds, right now , as I type), clear slow, easy, progressive exercise is the way this ol’ man will get to optimum health.

[@lazybonzes24]

So you lost 64 pounds before the 10th month of 2020 , very interesting. Since we have not hit the 10th month yet. This is the best weight loss result ever.

[@johnjorza3037]

lazybonzes24 , oops, when you get this old, your memory is the 2nd thing that goes🤪. Sorry 10/2019. Thanks for catching that👍

[@BQ900]

Are you supposed to stretch before the exercise? Maybe I don’t know. I like the machines at the gym.

[@jussi3378]

@@BQ900 No, you shouldn't do static stretching before a workout, it decreases performance and doesn't protect from injuries. Stretch only after. You should do a warmup though

[@tallybeaverman9462]

I'm 71 and have Diabetes, 3 days on the Carnavore Diet and I already feel better. Even though meat is more expensive. When I dump the fruits, veggies, sugar producing carbs, my grocery bill is much smaller. Wish I knew this 40 yrs ago. My first meal was 2 hard boiled eggs and a half pound greasy cheese burger. First time I went 20 hrs without eating and feeling so good. My Glucose hovers between 130 & 150 with only 2 Metformin per day and no insulin. I'm hooked!

[@Naoki22]

What Dr. Baker is saying is true! Weight training helps strengthen the bones too, which helps prevent osteoporosis and bone fractures in the elderly population. Personally I have issues with my energy, but my exercise of choice is bouncing on my mini trampoline! It gives my heart a nice workout and provides resistance on my bones and joints, plus it's fun to do!

[@philais]

That is what I did. Carnivore for 6 mo. then I started WANTING to walk then started going further and faster! But I only started working out in gym after I hit lean body mass and hit my weight goals. Now putting on muscle and weight stable.

[@suesimmons926]

It seems to me that walking is the single best weight bearing exercise until it becomes too easy. After that find a hill out of traffic and close to home ( if possible) to walk up and down. when that gets too easy add a backpack with more and more bags of sand or salt as time goes on. to get strength in your arms and shoulders carry a small suitcase in one hand and keep trading hands. add books or water bottles to the suitcase as you get stronger. the sky's the limit. my 72 year old husband carries a 55 lb suitcase up and down the small hill in the park across the street from us. he says it is the best full body exercise there is ... hands, forearms, shoulders, traps, core, back, quads, hamstrings, Etc. he started with 30 lb 3 years ago and now Carrie's 80 lb in one hand on level ground for 40 seconds at a time. on the hill with 55 lb he goes for a full hour with small breaks every 5 minutes to do some push-ups. you do not need a gym membership!

[@suesimmons926]

Don't get the wrong impression; all you need is a few minutes of high quality weight bearing exercise a few times a week; my husband gets carried away sometimes!

[@firecrackerNJ2CA]

Great idea but I wonder if my neighbors would think I'm mentally challenged if I keep leaving the house with a suitcase and then turning right back around to go home with the same suitcase.

i just LOVE how calm this man is and i LOVE his point on "dont make this reversed veganism" this is not an ideology or a religion, its a tool to fix health-issues. Propably the most flagged elimination-diet, but hey, if it works for you thats great !!! I came here to learn how to fuel a sprint workout without carbs, but i just had to finish this talk though, ty for adding loveable conversation in a quiet manner, no stigma, no taunting of other diets, just... have a nice day !!!

[@kaseygraham6525]

You bet! Start with allowing time to heal. I have been a cubical desk worker for the past 20+ years. With the S.A.D. and struggled to do any of the exercises that I was "supposed" to do. With complete failure!! So now I am healing and feel so much better that I have been FINALLY getting my cluttered and overwhelmed home cleaned up. One spot, one room at a time. That is way more movement that I have done in 20 years. My goal is to get back up on a bicycle again and walk and DANCE!! I love swimming too and that will be next Summer. Thank you Kelly for your interviews.

[@Luke747gal]

Me too. I see people deep squatting all sorts of weight but I can barely eek out 5-10 deep bodyweight only squats . Gotta start somewhere.

[@tracy2468]

The messaging in this video was spot on! First diet, then interval strength training. If everyone did those two things, the incidence of chronic disease would plummet. It is that simple.

[@minagelina]

I love how they reject making this an ideology, reverse veganism. Wonderful!

[@suzyqlasvegas]

I’ve been on Carnivore almost 6 weeks. I’ve done 2/72 hour fasts. I’ve just started to do 20 minutes of exercise every other day. We’ll see what my results are by Christmas. I can say I had my blood draw done and my numbers are fantastic. No longer pre-diabetic, or low thyroid. My age is 65 and my current weight is 186. I’ve lost 11 lbs in 6 weeks and 22 lbs total.

[@karenmiles9822]

Your videos are the best, Kelly!!! This one is another one that you hit out of the park!!

[@aprilsaccountabilityaccoun2889]

Love this. I started into low carb/carnivore as an athlete. First go round was rough as an athlete. Not going to lie. I probably should have cut my exercise regime when I started. I was tanking. Back on it and cut my training down, I lift my kettlebells and only do 12- 20 min lifting or less and do 30:30 , 4-6 rounds and that's it. I also added in running which I stopped doing completely when I devoted myself to lifting many years ago and holy s**T, back when I started carnivore my lifting did tank but my running got much better. Well, now back to lifting and since I cut down my lifting to push/pull/combo movements... MUCH better. I love lifting..not for looks but damn, I love lifting more than most men. ;) And I realize it wasn't carnivore that failed me last time , it was that my lifting sessions were way too long and I was overexercising when I didn't need to. Back to loving running again since I now have lots of energy for it...without the carbs. aNd i don't have to run very much at all anymore to get benefits.

[@bernadettegreene8618]

Amazing interview, so excited about the research. Been on this way of eating for almost 5 months & such positive results for my brain from a concussion. Exercise is so important, upper body strength is soooo incredibly important for women.

[@leemanwrong]

Excellent practical advice from Dr Baker. He mentions kettlebells which i agree are the most versatile piece of equipment you can have in your house. Being under lockdown i just take my bell outside each day and do some squats, swings, get ups, presses and carries, good fun and good health.

Kelly, the picture for this video inspired me to get back on track with carnivore after gaining back 25 pounds after falling off the wagon last Christmas with all the goodies. Keep posting these to inspire people! I wanna be free of the weight struggle!

[@moufette1234]

Even though I am not a carnivore, I donated to the Carnivore Clinical Trial a couple of weeks ago. I think it is important to do studies to provide evidence that any diet that is not low-fat high-carb can be in fact healthy. In Canada, most dieticians still believe that low-carb, keto, paleo and carnivore diets are bad for heart health. It is obvious that in modern society we eat too many carbs for our own good, but the paradigm has yet to be shifted it seems.

Erin Stern has an amazing channel, great form and coaching for core and every other part-at home and gym. I follow her mixes and have really benefited at age 68. Kelly, your goals are the same as mine! Look good in sleeveless shirts and do those grandkids!! Wear the clothes I have in my closet comfortably and confidently, and not have to size up every year! Walk, hike, run or whatever I want. Just starting carnivore after a year of consistent keto-due to the search for even better health.

[@violiendamast]

You’re right: make it fun. We often cycle but always to friends or a restaurant or something nice. In stead of taking the car. Easy, cheap and fun.

Actually working your core will increase your waist size. When you work muscles, they grow.

I'm a 62yrs old female that is doing the carnivore diet to address many digestive issues. ATM I still have to sleep with my upper body elevated. I'm walking my dogs 3 to 4 times a day and the first walk is with a weighted vest. We live in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains so it's very hilly in every direction. I plan an adding back in strength training once my health is better but for now my focus is on being pain free.

If you use the argument of carnivore being the ancestrally correct diet then you also have to do what our ancestors did. Be physically active. High intensity exercise (simulating a hunt or fleeing from a saber toothed tiger), lifting weights (to simulate packing out the "kill" or hauling rocks for the fire pit).

The modern man is insane. You don't need q single study to prove a carnivore diet is the optimal diet for humans throughout our full life cycle. Why? Because there was already a study called human history and it lasted millions of years. We still exist on this earth as a species because of a carnivore diet.
