I am very inspired by your weight loss and happy for you. I would like to suggest that you not line your crock pot with plastic bags like that when you cook or store your cooked meat in plastic containers. The oils in the meat and heat are causing very very toxic chemicals to leach out of the plastic into your food. Please stay away from plastic. Chemicals in plastics are endocrine interrupters and cause great problems for animals and humans. Please don’t be offended

[@terrileist]

Than you!

[@ianstuart5660]

No plastics with meat and heat. Seems to be a no Brainer! My apology to the host. I also didn't intend anything offensive. Very gracious of you to share your discoveries. All best wishes!

[@canadianalien370]

I was going to say the same thing. This also goes for the sous vide method of cooking meat … or anything else for that matter.

[@ianstuart5660]

@@canadianalien370 I think the rule with plastics for any food is to not let plastics touch foods at anything above room temperatures. Preferably, eliminate plastics with foods as much as possible!

Please don’t use plastic this way……save your health and your dogs.

I used to have problems cleaning the crock pot as well. Now I coat it in bacon fat before cooking anything, and it cleans right up afterward.

[@oldschoolwoolandweaving835]

Cleaning the crock pot need not be a chore - let is soak with some hot water to which baking soda has been added. I add it by eye, probably a quarter cup. It softens whatever hardened, cooked on food is in it. Rinse well. It's also a great abrasive, scrubbing product. Scrubs without scratching.

[@terrileist]

Thank you!

[@RebelAngelkiller62]

When you cook 80/20 or any other combination of ground beef to fat, you are actually cooking the fat and juices out of the beef, which means it's no longer 80/20 or whatever it was when you started. I actually don't add water, as the ground beef has plenty of moisture and I don't want to dilute the natural flavor. In fact, if anything, I add one stick of butter to my ground beef for even more fat. Then, after the ground beef is cooked, I save some of your rendered fat and juice to add to the ground beef the next time I do another batch instead of adding butter. Note; If you season the ground beef before cooking and save the juice and fat to add to the next batch of ground beef, it will keep getting more and more flavourful the longer you keep recycling it. I learned that trick in a gourmet restaurant. I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong, I'm just putting a suggestion out there should someone be looking for a different way. Keep up the good work.

Does cooking your ground beef this way, does it have a softer texture then browning it in a skillet? I am going to try it to see.

[@terrileist]

It is softer. It’s similar to boiling the meat, if I want that seared crispy ground meet texture after I’ve crock potted it, I will cook it in a skillet to kind of like dehydrate it. That’s how I make my riced chicken that I use instead of rice!

[@dianedellarocca63]

So when you were carnivore and eating 2 meals a day you had 16 ounce each meal did you lose weight with that?

[@terrileist]

Same! Less energy and time is best for me hehehe

[@terrileist]

I did, until my stall. I truly believe that if I had been willing to lower my meat intake during my stalls, by 1-1 1/2 ounces per meal I would have broken my stall, I still believe the amount of calories I ate along with the carb and type of food had a huge impact on my weight loss. I didn’t know it at the time, but looking back, had I tried 14 ounces both meals the stall would have ended and loss restarted.

[@46GarageUSA]

Terri, I'm stuck not dropping. I think it's because I'm not eating enough fats being they say keto is 70% fat intake per day. I was doing a 1000 calories a day at 20 to 30 net carb intake . Protein is about 120g Did you ever use MCT oil to get fat in ? Also do you ever do fasting like eating within a 4 hour window or 6 hour window only ??? My one body eats one big meal of keto a day only

[@terrileist]

I have told you before that I really think you need someone more into the science. I cannot advise you because I just ate and it happened for me. You should contact Kim howerton or Dr Berry. They both have groups and really would be better. I am a nurse and cannot advise anyone, it will affect my license. I o may know how I ate. I’m sorry, I just don’t know how to advise you.

Fantastic journey to better health! Kudos. I'm curious, is it only your dog that gets the fat? Do you consume the fat yourself?

[@terrileist]

For me, it’s just the dogs that get the fat. For some people I follow they use the fat in their cooking. I have about 8-9 jars of tallow and 2-3 jars of lard so I don’t need to use that fat for cooking yet

[@SheCreatesStuff2]

@@terrileist Yes, I guess you have plenty. Eating the fat is good, especially for females.

[@fastway007]

First kudos to you on your weight and health journey. You mentioned in a reply about calories, forget about calories, it’s about the fat intake. Maybe experiment with OMAD, or leaving the fat in the meat, that’s what the body wants, not the dog. And you’re right in the fact that everybody’s metabolism is different and everyone has a different approach to the same outcome. BTW-get the hell away from the plastic!!!! Have a great day 👍

[@sandydennis7948]

Isn’t that old saw, “calories in, calories out” rubbish? And, how about, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”? I haven’t had breakfast in 3 or 4 years.

[@terrileist]

It seems to be individual. I lost 64 pounds in my 22 months of carnivore and the last 7 months I stalled. After I started counting calories is when I lost 94 pounds. I have a broken full and hunger meter. Some people can earn when hungry and stop when satiated. That doesn’t work for me. I will eat until I am sick and eat more. So, for me, I had to control what I was eating. Sure some people can eat what they want and do fine. When I was omad my hair started falling out, and I didn’t do well. Yet you are thriving with omad. Again, we are each in social humans and our bodies have gone through different unique things. So what works for me might not work for you, and vice versa. I’ll stick to my plastic liners, thanks though!

To loosen cooked-on food, either/and/or fill the pot (crock) with water and boil -- or if very stubborn, cover cooked-on places (usually bottom) with vinegar and boil. Works like a charm and then you will not have issues with maybe/maybe not-plastic.

Hi Terri, watching this I am wondering how you know what the calorie count for the meat is after most of the fat is rendered away? If I understand it right, the calorie count on the package includes the fat. Thank you!

[@terrileist]

Truth be told, i don't really know. I plug it in as what it says it is, and then use that number. If the scale moves down, i know i have an amount I can use to lose, and if the scale doesn't move, i know i should lower the ounces by 1, then see if it changes. I know I'm not getting all of the fat, but also, i know i'm weighing after it's cooked, and they weigh it before it's cooked. So i kinda figure it balances out. The part they add to the nutrition amounts is cooked out, while the part I'm adding in, was the part that was added from the part that was cooked out of another amount. I hope that makes sense??? it does in my head ha!

[@InsolentVillager]

Just wondering why you no longer eat the fat with the beef? I've been carnivore 4.5 months.

[@terrileist]

For me-it’s a calorie thing. I feel just as good without the fat as I did with the fat. I also eat in bulk so in order to eat the amount of food I want and not go way over with calories I need to omit the fat. Also, for me-I wanted to burn the fat on my body by running on the fat I wanted to get rid of. I can’t say it’s scientific, but if I ate fat and my body is in ketosis and burning fat-I didn’t want it to do like it does when we are running on the carbs we eat, I wanted it to run on my body fat not the food fat. I hope that makes sense??? It does in my head lol

[@InsolentVillager]

@@terrileist @terrileist "Eating high-fat foods, in contrast to protein-heavy foods, is more likely to lead to ketosis - the process of burning fat for fuel instead of carbs, which can lead to rapid weight loss in the short term. Eating foods high in fat can also make a person feel full." Fatherly “Here we’ll offer a list of issues to either rule out or address that will help you achieve your carnivore diet weight The carnivore diet is, by default, a high-fat, low-carb diet. This is because your body can only get about 35% of its calories from protein without encountering symptoms of protein poisoning. When you cut carbs on carnivore you’ll need to get nearly 100% of your calories from a combination of protein and fat. This means that you’ll need to get at least 65% of your calories from fat. On a low-carb diet, when you eat too much protein and not enough fat, your body turns the protein into blood sugar through a process called gluconeogenesis. This process interferes with fat metabolism, which can, in turn, limit weight loss.” - Dr Kiltz

[@vikinorman317]

Protein turns into carbs at a slower rate than carbs. Fat turns into carbs at a slower rate than protein. Fat does fill you up for a long time. Some people have had trouble losing weight without eating the fat as well as some have had trouble getting pregnant without the fat.

How did the 22 months of carnivores work for you?

[@terrileist]

Hello! I did 2 months keto first, and lost 26lbs. Then I heard about carnivore and as someone who hated to cook daily, I was on board! I did 22 months and lost 64lbs. The last 7 months of those 22 months I stalled. At that time no one would talk about calories or lower fat or anything like that in the carnivore community. I just saw a video of Kelly Hogan last week where she’s starting to realize some people have different needs. Had someone said, maybe instead of 2lbs of beef per day, try 1 3/4 lbs, then I might still be carnivore, but it was VERY frowned upon to restrict, so that’s when I left and changed to Keto with calorie counting and lost the final 90lbs.

[@carolferguson]

Hi Terri! I truly appreciate you & your help. I feel that you’re “real”…. So I need advice please. I am really trying hard again (keto/carnivore). I lost a pound one day. Then another the next. Then gained 5 the next! Oh My Gosh! ! Do you remember something crazy like that? I am not weighing or measuring the food, just me. Basically I’m eating beef & eggs. I’ve added an avocado & berries. Please help. (Oh, I’ve had covid for 2 weeks & I am not leaving the house or exercising)

[@terrileist]

My opinion is this, remember I’m not a doctor lol, but our body will decide how it needs to use the nutrition we put inside. Sometimes our body will say, hey, things are groovy so let’s release some fat. Sometimes though, there are things going on inside our body that we can’t see-Inflammation, sickness, covid, cold, etc. while mentally WE want to see the scale move, our body says, let’s use these calories to heal this issue first, THEN we can return to shedding pounds. My OPINION is that when we heal our body sends our healing soldiers to the bad places and we may retain some fluids because there is inflammation. Where there is healing there is inflammation. So as we heal we retain fluids. Once the healing is done, our body will say-ok, that’s done, let’s go back to releasing the excess water and release some fat from our fat cells. I had weeks of losing and weeks of gaining and weeks of maintaining. I ate the same but my body decided how it would spend those calories. When you eat the same every day and you see your scale going up and down for ‘no reason’ you have to trust your body and know that it has to heal all the things that are wrong first. Then it will let you lose weight. Stay the course and remember it’s not a day today scale we look at. We look at the trends. Pick a day and check weekly, and write it down. If it’s going up every week for 4-6 weeks, write down what you’re eating and see what you might need to change. If it’s trending down 2, then 0, then up 1, then down 1, then 0, then down 1 then up 2-then you’ll know if you’re eating the same foods that your body is working on healing and you have to be patient. I hope that all makes sense. Your hormones will change day to day so you can’t looks at the scale and see what you gain and lose from one day to the next, that’s literally just a snapshot of your hormones that day.

I wish I could stop the crazy night cravings. They cause me to cheat. I tried having pork rinds around last night, just in case. I figured they were still carnivore. Ha ha. Love ya girl!💙😇🙏

[@terrileist]

If you’re going to have an off plan snack, keep it carnivore, it might not be the best but you’ll be able to hold your head up high and know you didn’t go off track with something bad. Stay strong and stay the course

[@carolferguson]

@@terrileist ok. Thank you. I bought pork rinds today for just that

[@terrileist]

@carolferguson it is not easy staying on track but if you know that there are times that are harder than others it’s always good to have something around to help you as a crutch item whether it’s pork rinds or cucumber chips or zucchini chips chips and you dip that in some Greek yogurt whatever you need to do that helps. Keep you on track that’s what’s important

[@nataliegist2014]

Beef tallow lotion is the wonderful.

[@terrileist]

I made some a couple years ago and I really liked it. I don’t know what happened to it. It might still be in my freezer. Thank you for the reminder.

[@dawnkennedy9576]

Why do you take out the fat. Dr. Elisabeth bright talks how important fat is

[@terrileist]

I think different people have different needs. When these doctors are talking, including Dr Berry they are speaking about the general person, they person without addiction to being full, the person who can eat a small amount of food and get full, the person who is ‘average’ can lose weight with their methods. I was on carnivore and added all the fats, but it didn’t help me lose weight after I lost 64lbs. I stalled 7 months. By adding all the fats. I changed to keto and more lean to moderate fat and the weight started coming off again. As far as health-I literally feel no different when I added the fat vs now and no changes in my lab work. The problem with listening to everyone online is that they are talking in general terms and don’t focus on the small group that have different needs. I have different needs so I had to follow my own set of rules. Also, watch Kelly Hogans new video she discusses this also

[@dar4835]

Compliments on your awesome weight loss!!!!

[@terrileist]

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words!

[@needparalegal]

Boiling your beef? That is crazy. Loses all its flavor. Any fat that renders off when I fry my beef I use to make eggs and fried vegetables.

[@terrileist]

Ha! We all have our own way of doing things. I love that you have found a method that works for you. Have a great day

[@OTseven]

Inspiring

[@terrileist]

Thank you so much!

[@miarenee]

Are you heating them on high. ?

[@terrileist]

I do low on the crock pot, that way they don’t cook too fast. In the past I have done high for the first 45 minutes just to give them some oomph to cook a little faster. I have also cooked them all the way on high, and it’s faster, but it seems like they get dryer

[@miarenee]

@@terrileist thank you 😊

[@crackerjack010101]

I do this in a Dutch oven on the stove top. Even with 93% it comes out great. Pop it in and put the lid on and come back to break it up and stir every few minutes. The moisture retained with keeping it covered there does the same as the crock only faster. L

[@terrileist]

Awesome! So anyways to make it! Thank you for sharing

[@danm8004]

This is fascinating and bizarre in equal measure

[@terrileist]

lol. That pretty much describes me and the random things I do. I also do my ground chicken this way and when I want to have ‘rice’ I cook it in a skillet to dry it out and it works like carnivore riced chicken!

[@JobjobJob-f6e]

How far those 20 portions can go in your diet?

[@terrileist]

I eat one portion at lunch and one portion at supper, so it should last me 10 days of lunch and supper

[@JobjobJob-f6e]

@@terrileist thank you for helping. I need to start carnivore and get sugar; wheat; dairy and carbs in general out of my system and I fail to do it in a way that can keep in the diet. I get saturated too soon and I start avoiding to eat. Tallow is hard for me tolerate and at the same time I don’t want to rely too much on butter cause I can tolerate kefir but cheese makes me feel I’m dying. I’m all over the place regarding how to take on this journey and keep me in for the long run. Thanks so much for helping ❤️

[@terrileist]

You know, even if you don’t dive into carnivore at first, maybe you can do a meat heavy diet with meat and veggies and fruit for a couple months. Then you can try to wean off the fruit. Then maybe wean off the veggies. That way you’re not overwhelmed with things at first. Just eat whole meats, whole veggies, and even frozen or raw fruit. Just a random thought

[@JobjobJob-f6e]

@@terrileist thank for this. I will give it a try. ❤️

I would never use plastic liner.. not good for your health:)

[@terrileist]

Ok

[@kathyreese4052]

You are cooking your food in plastic????????

[@crenaud590]

I am confused. Aren't you supposed to eat high fat on Keto? That is our energy, instead of sugar and carbs.

[@terrileist]

This ‘keto’ diet was originally created for children who have seizures. Those children needed a very high fat diet. I think some people can do really well with eating high fat, because it helps them stay full for a long time time therefore, they get full and are able to consume fewer were calories. I think this is a very individualized topic. For me because I do not have the ability to feel full and I feel hunger constantly, I could’ve eaten 2 pounds of 73% three times a day. That is too much food. The point of keto, for weight loss, is to burn fat. I had, and still have fat on my body that my body can utilize to burn as energy. In my brain, why add fat from an external source to burn, when I can burn the excess fat on my body? Not the scientific answer-but it’s what my brain thinks. This is a very hot topic among the keto and carnivore world, but we have to remember, everyone is different, and some people may do great with high fat, but some peoples body does better with moderate fat or low fat. It’s truly an individual needs depending on how much each person has messed up our body along the way.

[@alancameron6937]

Plastic ! is that even safe , won't it leach into to meat, not supposed to be lifting lid all the time ( according to instructions on my slow cooker )

[@terrileist]

I use plastic all the time, it’s made for cooking. I drank from a rusty garden hose. If this is what kills me…then I’ll just accept it. As lot lifting the lid every hour…it works, and I’ve been doing it for 3 years. Thanks for watching

[@SarasotaFl]

why not use the microwave?

[@terrileist]

For what part? I microwave my meat every day at work. It’s my best friend lol 🥰🤩

[@cr-iv1el]

It seems like a lot of electricity used for something that could be done in minutes on the stovetop.

[@terrileist]

Maybe so, but I can do so many things while I’m cooking 10lbs of ground beef. I used to do it over the stove, but the amount of time I have to do other things now, is amazing 🤩🥰

I do freeze the beef. I keep a 4 day rotation in my fridge and when I make my lunch for then day I will pull out a lunch and supper and put it in the back. By day 4 that meal is in the front and ready for me to eat!

[@AmericaCirclingTheDrain]

I need to figure out a way to enjoy the taste of ground beef. I love a good burger with all the fixins, but that's a lot of carbs. Love tacos with all the fixins, but again, a lot of carbs. Overcoming my addiction to carbs might be easier if I liked the foods that replace the carbs. 😢

[@terrileist]

It’s not an easy transition, but I sure used the heck outta seasonings and cheeses to help me get the flavor I was looking for

[@jokedevries]

My experience is the taste for carbs resides after a while on carnivore. The meat starts tasting better and better to me. Variations in baking and structure can be made instead. I do not try to replace instead I keep omitting more and more. 😀

[@macairhead5137]

Can you do the lettuce burger?

[@terrileist]

@macairhead5137 hat would be tasty

[@NoName83201]

It’s carb addiction telling you this… my mindset was anything for one week, nothing taste as good as thin and having energy feels. All my aches and pains gone too. To get rid of my cravings and to start getting used to eating meat (previously vegetarian), I went carnivore, one week turned into 30-days. I feel great, no more cravings and I actually crave meat taste now, could of never imagined it myself. Best Wishes ❤️

[@annaburns5382]

Someone already mentioned in the comments about the dangers of using plastic in any way associated with your food and water. Please, stop using the plastic! It will affect your health. After I'm finished cooking in my crock pot or stock pot, and the food is removed I add water and bring it to a simmer and then let it sit. It's very easy to clean doing that.

[@suelayman1371]

Curious as to why you left pure carnivore?

[@terrileist]

I was carnivore 22 months and felt great. I had lost 26lbs 2 months before carnivore, and in 22 months carnivore I lost 64lbs. The last 7 of those 22 months I was stalled. The people in the Facebook groups that I was in kept saying they ate about 2lbs of meat per day and they don’t recommend anyone count calories or lower their portions. I fell into Kim Howerton channel and she was dear friends with Dr Berry and had lost weight with keto and counting calories. I decided to give that a try. I was desperate after 7 months of no scale movement. When I changed over the scale moves. I was afraid of feeling bad like many who were carnivore said they had experienced when eating vegetables, but I never felt bad. So for me, it felt the same and I didn’t have any triggers or new health issues

Youre getting rid of wayyyy too much fat.. youre almost at 100-0 ground beef the way you get rid of the fat (and a lot of collagen). .. you should pour the fat back into the individual containers with the ground meat to get it back closer to 80-20. The fat is the most critical part of the whole meal.

[@LaneCodeRedCarnivore]

Is that much fat ok for dogs ??

[@terrileist]

If they were wild dogs they would eat whatever was on the animal. They get maybe 1 tbs once a day. They have great health according to the vet. When I was a kid the vet had my mom add a spoon of bacon grease on our poodles food to help her skin and coat.

[@LaneCodeRedCarnivore]

@@terrileist thanks I am eating a carnivore diet , so my dog eats pretty good . Was concerned I might harm my pooch ! She doesnt eat lots of fat , just bacon and burger. Thanks !!

[@terrileist]

I can’t say if it’s good or bad, but for my crew, the small amount I give them…so far, hasn’t had a bad health impact. So far 🙏🏻

[@librarianlovesrick]

@@terrileist With my poodles in the past I'd always put some bacon grease in their bowl to mix with the dry food. The vet flipped out about that! I have a new poodle now and from day one, he is a meat eater - whatever I cook (plain meats), that's what he eats. There have been people that sneakily have given him junk food without my knowing. He doesn't trust it! So amazing. He will break the junk food up into bits and leave it all over the carpet/floor. He won't eat it. He treats it like a chew toy. He might tear it up but won't swallow. LOL

I,m sorry but i am strict carnivore and i never eat meat from Walmart and i never buy hamburger, I BUY CHUCK POT ROASTS AND HAVE MEAT COUNTER GRIND IT ONCE SO IT IS NOT SMALL.

Anyone here follow straight up old school atkins and in maintenence phase now?! I got some questions 😬

[@fishypictures]

Just fill the crockpot with water and soak it for awhile. Water is the greatest solvent and your pot will clean right up. 80/20 will taste better especially if you season it. Remember, a healthy adult can, should consume no more than 21 oz including beverage at each meal. Your stomach is about the size of your fist, we shouldn’t expand it too much. Smaller meals , more water especially as we get older. An associate of mine lost a considerable amount of weight using your method… his meals consisted of the seasoned beef, ketchup, veggies like green beans, carrots, corn, broccoli, mushrooms etc. He kept variety by trying different sauces he would invent his own no sugar sauces or fruit based sauces like plum, fig,apricot, like that but for times sake he would use quality ketchup. I would think this would accomplish your goals but hard to sustain it. Too many delicious foods flying around ….. Very tough to decline. Best wishes.

[@marioncobretti3076]

If you are doing keto, you should eat the fat and give the lean to the dogs..but congrats on the weight loss

[@terrileist]

I was eating the fat while I was carnivore for 22 months. However, I stalled for eight months eating all of that fat. It was when I went to leaner meat, that I lost over half of my weight. I think for some people eating a lot of fat is great, but for some people who have a whole lot of extra fat on their body, we need to burn the fat on our body instead of adding extra fat for our body to burn an external fat source instead of an internal fat source. Just my opinion, and what has worked for me
