hey there, i'm rebecca, 42, and hearing courtney's journey resonates. struggled with weight too. hit a plateau, felt stuck. my story changed with Aspect Health, a personalized plan. not advertising, just sharing. consistency matters, and courtney's tips can help. we're all on our unique journeys. respect to her for sharing.

[@karenmiles9822]

It's been fun watching you melt before our eyes! You're a blessing in the Carnivore community!

Love you Karen! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to You, Jeff and the kids oh and let's not forget the pup ❤🎅

[@learninghowtobreathe]

Hi. Thanks for sharing your journey here & more specifically what you did in the beginning with the fat to protein ratio. I‘m going to try that.

[@hopeparrish295]

This video was great. Thank you for the valuable info. Congratulations on getting the scale moving the way you want it to. Have a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2024.

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thank you and merry Christmas!

[@alexbloss4163]

I am in 70 days and have been stalled for over a month. But all the benefits keep me going. Hope if I start walking it will trigger my scale decline. Thanks for the video.

[@suzanneoleson7580]

I have been on a weight loss stall for over 2 years. I went from 218 to 146 in 2019 and gained 25 back over the next year. I have been struggling to lose it since. I took the last 6 months off of dieting and I am ready to start again

[@CourtneyLuna]

I think a big part of it is being mentally ready to get back at it, and sounds like you are! Hopefully this video gives you some tips on how to get back on track ♥️

[@blutru1328]

be sure to get a GREAT AMOUNT of water each day ! God Bless always !

[@maryrasmussen947]

Our roads are almost identical right down to your macro and weight numbers! Crazy! I just decreased my fat from 130 to 100-110 and have taken a break from the scale but feel encouraged that I’m on the right road after seeing this video. Thanks for sharing! Helped me a ton today.

[@jennb9139]

Thanks for the video! I’m in a stall and can’t figure out how to get past it. Your starting and ending weight is my story as well, although I’m 5’3” and 55 yrs old. Appreciate how you keep things real on your channel. Gives me encouragement!

[@sarahmw8611]

Dairy (whey and lactose) create a significant insulin response, causing the body to store rather than burn fat. Heavy cream and butter don’t generate the insulin response since they have no whey protein or lactose (milk sugar). Food for thought. Great job! 🎉

[@CarnivoreMom_Of4]

Great video Courtney and congrats on your success! 🎉

[@Meatiswhereitsat]

This is so great Courtney!! I’m going to dial it in! 🙌🏻 Those last 20 pounds are sticking with me! 😅

[@CourtneyLuna]

You got this! We’re in it together 💪

[@nancyjackson2279]

Congratulations! We all need to " check" ourselves occasionally. Things creep up on us when we get lax. There's usually a reason (ourselves) when we stall. Anyway, you're looking fantastic! Merry Christmas to you and your family🎅🌲🤶

[@CourtneyLuna]

Agree! And thank you, merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@alicegonzalez1623]

That’s great news Courtney. I’m so happy for you. Oh yes I am stuck I’ve lost 30 lbs thus far and I am just like you, I loose 5lbs and gain them back for last three months. Thank you for your tip. I will definitely eat less fat more chicken and more weight training. Gracias!!!🙏🏼

[@CourtneyLuna]

[@user-jq8dn5xy2t]

I feel the best with high protein and lower fat carnivore. I foolishly followed other influencer's advice and ate a stick of butter a day only to gain 10 pounds. I wonder why some people do well on high fat carnivore but some are not?

[@Desertflower743]

If you watched the steak and butter gal, and I’m guessing that’s where you saw it, she was already in a weight and nourishment deficit from being vegan for 6 years. She did put on 20 lbs initially before beginning to burn it all off and is now so lean on carnivore that she needs to add in fat to burn. If you are starting off overweight, like most of us (especially women) we already have a store of fat waiting to be used. If having a fat deficit in your meals works better for you, keep doing it, not everybody needs to add more fat in, men do better with burning it than women 🤗

[@kathynewkirk683]

A lot is mindset, I’ve been keto over 4 years, I’m more ketovoire now, with a little bit of veggie with dinner. I slip in and out of carnivore, Don’t want to be that strict all the time. Be more flexible for social reasons. No one really knows. They see me as a health nut. I skip breakfast. And have always worked out, since the 70s. I find it is a mindset. Initially, it was a diet, now it’s more about health and lifestyle. I do track off and on. I’m more consistent now. I’m up early, having my morning coffee and plan my day and it’s set. It’s a relaxing me time, also helps with making a grocery list each week. I’ve been doing this so long, it’s just life. I do cheat a little bit on vacation and holidays, so far I haven’t this year, but it’s Christmas Eve and I have a party planned. But making 3 carnivore dishes for myself and don’t plan to imbibe in any alcohol and sweets. if I cheat a little, that’s ok too. Every New Year’s Eve, we go out, I’m more keto, couple glasses of red wine, steak, salad, it’s all good… ….

[@jenniferrosenthal7731]

I had family over for the holiday weekend and now no alcohol for me at least til January. Might even try a dry January

[@CourtneyLuna]

I should have also mentioned that my macro ratio used to be 70/30, now they’re 60/40-65/35, with calories between 1550-1700 depending on the day 🥰

[@lw9553]

Like 60% fat and 40% protein ?

[@CourtneyLuna]

@@lw9553 yes, 60% of calories coming from protein and 30% of calories coming from fat. it will show on a pie chart when you track your macros

[@gingercameronfordcrouch7057]

And you said 130 is your goal weight. That's close to mine 127 to 135, 130 would be fine if my body recomposition takes that abd hold it there. So best to try lower macros of 65/35 or 60/40 over the 80/20 or 70/30. I still gotta try to figure out how to put that into actual food portions oh and the Calories. I really like simple just eating till comfortably stuffed so basic and simple no tracking 😩 I am losing still but put on 7 pds after first initial weight loss of water fasting and detoxing mostly for 40 days with a few eating times for 10 days in October/November 15 pds probably just water fasting. 30 total so far since June, October till now keto carnivorish before that just cutting back carbs and sugars mostly. Now doing a 4 month carnivore challenge with Jenny Mitich her goal is 130 as well!

[@1BethMcBeth]

@CourtneyLuna Merry Xmas to you and your family. Love now and into the new year of 2024! 🎄🥂💞👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

[@Carnivorelion]

That was quick! Great work... you're looking amazing and super vibrant! Have you tried a grow clock for your kids? I use them for my kids... they can't get out of bed until the sun comes up on their clocks and it's working like a charm!

[@CourtneyLuna]

Hazel says eff you to those clocks 🤣 but 1 week of her staying in so hopefully we’re good, knock on wood

[@kidsnkittens]

I’m 56 and needed the reminder to lift heavy weights, thank you!

[@oldroscoe2590]

I finally went to fasting to get the last 20 lbs off. That did the trick.

[@lauraliviola7028]

😊❤ Thank you, very encouraging.👍🔥🌝

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thanks for watching! ❤

[@MeatingWellness]

Congrats on breaking your stall Courtney!

[@rosieaustin9911]

I find counting triggering from my weight watchers or low calorie days. I was always so HANGRY! Lol I’ve lost 40 lbs with no tracking. I need to lift weights too! So important! I listen to Joe Rogan for motivation. 🤷‍♀️🥳

[@nanarenans7183]

40 years of dieting and more than TWO DOZEN WW starts, I, TOO, get all up in my brain and go a little cuckoo with tracking. I think my body will heal faster than my brain will in that regard.

[@loretta6089]

I definitely stop losing when I under eat which is really weird to me although I don't think the under eating will be a problem between Christmas and New Years 😂

[@CourtneyLuna]

Haha I hear ya. Merry Christmas friend! ♥️

[@MaeganHotchkiss]

Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thank you!!

[@ChristianCarnivoreLiving]

Hey Courtney, this video is amazing! I would love to talk to you sometime. I was wondering, if you would, please share your lifting schedule. I don’t want to be on a treadmill, the rest of my life. However, I don’t know where to start with lifting.

[@CourtneyLuna]

Yes of course!

[@davec2103]

Glad to hear you broke through the stall! Can I ask what you used to track your macros?

[@CourtneyLuna]

Carb manager app :)

[@pattiiman989]

I use the free version of Carb Manager App. It calculates it all and if you press on the circle graph at the top where the totals are it gives you percentages of fats , protein and carbs if any.

[@jeanaw6121]

I started carnivore in August with my husband. He dropped 25 pounds almost overnight! lol. But I’ve only lost a few pounds. I lift weights 3 times a week and do HIIT twice a week. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’m 59 and 5’1. I weigh 150. So I know it’s not all muscle!

[@jenniferrosenthal7731]

I had surgery on Tuesday and I’ve gained 3 pounds because I’m so sedentary. On a mission to go back down and maintain the weight I was when I went in

[@CourtneyLuna]

I’m sure it’s mostly water weight and will shed right off when you get back at it 🙏 hope you have a quick recovery ❤️‍🩹

[@terri4337]

It’s been a struggle for me. I’ve been on carnivore for 6 months and have only lost 10kg. I feel that if I eat too much meat fat I stall or even put on weight. So I’ve cut back on the fat but butter n sour cream seems to be ok. I suppose you have to find what works for you

[@RecoveringCarboholic58]

Good information. Have been stuck for 5 months. Have never tracked. Going to give that a shot. Is there any special way you set up the apps for tracking carnivore?

[@CourtneyLuna]

I just plug in the fat, calorie and protein goal I want to hit in the carb manager app

[@kristahamilton1521]

Yay! Way to go Courtney! So, are Alice and Kevin leaving you at 1800 cals. If so, that’s great! If I drop below that I see massive hair loss.

[@kristahamilton1521]

Just clarifying. I think that’s what you said is that they left you at 1800, just adjusted ratio.

[@CourtneyLuna]

I’m at 1600 calories average with their macros, everyday is different between 1550-1700

[@CourtneyLuna]

Totally forgot to include that part 🤦‍♀️ thanks for clarifying

[@kristahamilton1521]

Good for you! Can’t wait to hear how it goes over the next few months.

[@carolinacarnivore6776]

Do you mind sharing what your carb count is. With dairy and all. I see you doing ricotta and want to try but it’s pretty carby. Which may be needed for me lol

[@sidneybuckaloo]

If you have a good amount of muscle when you’re old you likely won’t have an issue with falling.

[@sadie1392]

Do you think that the Pork Rinds really contributed to the gain or stall? I stalled when I started breading everything in rinds but my calories were still have low. I also stopped being able to go to the bathroom for a week...I hope its not the rinds!

[@sidneybuckaloo]

I’m having a tough time with all of the weight (60lbs).

Hi Courtney, I’m 39 also and have lost 40 lbs this year. I’m stuck at 150 and am 5’2”. It’s frustrating, and nothing I try really leads to lasting change.

Try again being consistent with the macros! The meal plan can be flexible to fit your needs, or swap out days ♥️

I'm really new. Why do you need to track macros if you are only consuming meat and water?

When I lower my fat intake I don't feel mentally good and I get cravings. I don't feel satiated after a meal. I still have belly fat but I rather have some of that than feeling unwell. 🙃 I'm 39y, 5'9, 152 lbs.

[@CourtneyLuna]

Lowering too much maybe? I only shifted from eating 120/130 to 100-120 grams of fat

[@christinar5246]

@@CourtneyLuna I need at least 160 g fat and 150 g protein (2000 calories) to feel good. I need even more on the days I play badminton (1 intense hour once a week). 🏸

[@audreysteele2457]

Can anyone answer me this please I never count anything, I was vegan for almost 5 years so high high high carb no need to count! But what does 100 grams protein & 100g fat look like food wise, I mean is that 2 chicken thighs for the whole day and nothing else to eat? Just curious as to what that looks like on my plate. I stopped being vegan over a year ago but I am struggling to find a balance to fix the mess being vegan did to my body

[@CourtneyLuna]

1 lb of 80/20 ground beef is roughly 100 grams of protein. I’d aim for anywhere between 1-1.5 lbs of meat a day. Also throwing in some eggs.

[@audreysteele2457]

Thank you

[@Earthmuffin78]

Steak and butter gal was vegan for years and speaks a lot about the healing process required and the high fat is super important Just in case your looking for more motivation! Love all these channels. So helpful 😊

[@Desertflower743]

Start off by looking up what an egg or say 100g of steak or chicken or lamb or bacon etc has in the way of proteins and fats and keep a handy list. For example 100g of Salmon with the skin on has 25g protein and 12g fat. Track everything you’re eating each day then you can work out if you’re utilising the best ratio of protein to fat. If the fat is very low, add some butter or cream with your meal and don’t forget to note how much protein and fat are in the butter or cream also. Happy tracking.
