Cheers to trying new things! I just started training for a 5k walk/run. I’m 66 and never did anything like this before. Best of luck to you!

[@maryberberoglu6759]

I love you Courtney! And appreciate your honesty and realness. I’m on day 3 of a 4 day sardine fast. Listening to your Sardine Fast challenge has helped me a lot as I’m an emotional eater and needed a big time reset; feeling awesome and energetic. Also, you are so beautiful; please don’t listen to negative people. Mary b ❤

[@2007moonshine]

WOW!!! 😮 You're inspiring me to get up and go! We can do anything that we set our minds on. Enjoy your run and have a great day 😊

[@csmo2896]

I tried running several years ago. I’m not built for just running. I wanted to so bad but soon realized I like kickboxing WAY more. And I am built more for kickboxing! lol hope all goes well for you!

[@CourtneyLuna]

Haha thank you!

[@cheriseelliott9230]

My husband and i just did a half on Saturday! It was my fourth. I think you'll enjoy it if the course is somewhere pretty. I'm not at all fast. I have to do running/ walking intervals because of some heart issues, but running (if one could even call what I do that) brings me joy, and that's reason enough to do it. Good luck to you! Enjoy the journey! ❤

[@MRSMakeupBag]

I don't understand why you have to change your mindset around running. Not every body is meant for long distance running. Im all for trying it but if you hate it try something else. maybe, sprinting. Where you run in short bursts. I think running with a larger bosom is not so fun. I used to run all the time when I was an A cup but then i got breast implants and then running with boobs is harder. Over time i developed chronic fatigue from the implants and now I barely have the energy to go for a walk.

Every time you allow a trigger food to enter your mouth, you are teaching your brain that consuming that food is acceptable. The brain gets used very fast to do what we teach it. So the most important thing is not to allow the trigger food in the first place. With time and repetition you will be able to avoid the binge episodes of those foods, your brain will forget. And for weight lost, I highly recommend you walking. Ive lost 35 pounds in 4 months combining carnivore, intermitent fasting and walking between 10 and 20 thousands steps per day fasted (early in the morning the majority and thorough the day the rest). I wish you all the best, you are a beautiful person

[@elizabethshimada7809]

I pre-ordered your book and it will be a great birthday present for me. October 3rd. Good luck on your running. A few years ago I did a ton of 5 and 10k

[@CourtneyLuna]

Awesome! Thank you! ☺️

[@lisalyons5381]

Thanks for the update. Was curious how you are doing. 💪🏃🏻enjoy the running. A months ago Chaffee had a really good video with Anthony Phaesse ( my spelling is off ) It’s 1 hr & 20 min but really good about hormones and benefits if really heavy weight - so really low reps. This guy was very informative. Anyways - enjoy the runs !

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thank you! I’ll check it out!

[@francisvlatko2834]

That interview is the reason I don’t run but sprint. I was thinking about it due to Dr Omara but because Anthony is a PT and his whole emphasis is on hormones, he confirmed it for me. I’m perimenopausal and frankly rather get the exercise portion of my healthy living, out of the way. That means enjoying the exercise I do because that in turn helps my mental health. HIIT is the way to go, in my opinion. Maximum effort in minimal time. It’s very efficient, perfect for someone with no time to/for exercise. I did a 14k ‘fun run’ - yes it’s an oxymoron - back in school and have never wanted to do one again! To me it’s very simple. If we enjoy the exercise we do, we’ll continue doing it.

[@Aline-lk7ob]

It’s great to experiment with new things. Have fun 😊

[@ChristianCarnivoreLiving]

The princess half marathon at Disney in Florida is a lot of fun. It was the first half marathon I ever ran. You actually run through the Magic Kingdom and everything. It usually takes place sometime in February

[@Pilarfitvegas]

Do it!! I did a 1/2 in December Let’s go 🎉

[@CourtneyLuna]

I’m a little out of my league, but here we go lol

[@Pilarfitvegas]

@@CourtneyLuna yes 🙌🏾 visualize it - make it real

[@joygriffin6324]

You can do it!!!!the first time I ran a 1/2 a seasoned runner friend of mine encouraged me to train for endurance over distance... so ultimately get to a place that you can run at a sustained pace (11-12min miles) for 2 hours the last couple of long runs before your race (that helped me not get wrapped up on how far I was or wasn't able to do on my running days) - 3 - 30/40min runs a week and an increasing longer run on the weekend.I know you will follow a plan but it was helpful to keep this on the back burner. I don't love to run either but setting goals and getting there is good for the soul.

[@karenmiles9822]

Wow, you've got big goals! Go get that 1/2 marathon medal!

[@Sarah_Madsen]

Girl, you’re glowing! You look great. Always inspiring me to do the shit I don’t like. 😂❤

[@AdrianKGledhill]

I really appreciate your sharing because I’m in a similar spot (except you’re way smaller than me). I suggestion you interval run the 5k/half marathon. It doesn’t have to be all running or all walking. I’ve run dozens of 1/2 marathons and burnt my adrenals out. Now I walk them. But it’s not super challenging. I could walk a full marathon. Interval would get your heart up and get the challenge but hopefully without some of the hormone burn out.

[@Michelleg_]

I am too training at the moment but for a 5k. Mine is called the Glow Run and its in October. I'm training with Couch to 5k. For the first time in my life i am enjoying the gym and not using it as a punishment! I commend you for your training and thank you for helping motivate me!! We can do it!!🎉💪🦵

[@MRSMakeupBag]

if i don't have coffee in the morning then i do feel hungry in the morning but normally I do which means I don't feel hungry until about noon.

[@a_wee_scotch4813]

I find yogurt hard to moderate too. One spoon starts yogurt hankering.

[@leslychavez211]

Running is fun! It gives good endorphins and the challenge you give yourself is rewarding❤ Hooe you enjoy! Running helped me lose lot of weight and now I maintain my 109lb self with two kids 🤗

[@marilync8133]

I also need to stop the yogurt and the epic protein bec I find the Stevie got a hold of me too and at first I didn't even like the epic protein powder but your taste buds get used to it..I haveva little left and I will not be reorderING it..I do have to also stop buying the fayge yogurt..I always used to bybthe 0 percent but the full fat is so good and creamy..I don't even need to sweeten it

[@carolinacarnivore6776]

I wish I could lose. I can’t lose anything unless I drop calories super low. I workout and have tried “mod” protein w high fat and the opposite higher protein and lower fat. 😢

[@carolinacarnivore6776]

@Jennieadams1979thank you for the response. I’ve tried that too (maybe 6 months) scales keep climbing and it’s depressing. I increased calories to 2200-2400 for at least 6 months. Gained 30lbs since last July. 😢 only think I have not done lately is have lab work. That’s next on my list. Insulin levels were 4 last fall.

[@carolinacarnivore6776]

@Jennieadams1979tired lol but I work a lot so attributing it to that. I have been low carb for 13 years. Lost 120lbs doing “keto” not tracking until I went carnivore to try and lose my final 10lbs. Boy was that a mistake. I’m up and keep gaining. Cut out coffee, dairy, you name it. So yeah I need labs done. I’m trying to tweak macros 1-2 weeks at a time to narrow it down but so far no luck.

[@carolinacarnivore6776]

Guess I should add I’m 4 years carnivore trying to make it work for me

[@aliciabowmanyoga7327]

I find 5km races to be horrible compared to 21km. I would much rather run the 21k pace than the 5km race pace ❤ speaking from experience! 21k. Is a good choice!

[@Citizenhelper]

You’re adorable. Thank you for your videos, I always enjoy you

[@catherineanne5379]

Question. I've been carnavor since Feb 1 2024. Down 40 lbs. Lately, having muscle cramps in my calfs and some hair loss. I just can't stomach drunks like LMNT. Ideas?

[@lhenkle13]

You can’t stomach electrolytes in general? Or is it the stevia ? Wondering if you can try a different brand, such a relyte? I just use redmonds salt.

[@catherineanne5379]

@@lhenkle13 I can't stand the salty flavor. Maybe I just need tonwater it way down.

[@lhenkle13]

@@catherineanne5379 that makes sense. I definitely had to get used to it.

Courtney, have you ever tried Cueritos?

Never heard of it! Just looked, and no I haven’t!

[@ooomuffyooo6164]

@@CourtneyLuna These are used to make Tostilocos, which I was obbsessssed with like forever, until I went carnivore. I still get these cueritos from time to time when craving something fatty, chewy/bouncy, or pickled. I would give them a try!
