I did “priming” in fact I was very good at that. All it did was increase my binging. Some influencers say to eat 200 grams fat per day. I tried that. All it did was give me cravings for fat. I now am just prioritizing protein , walking a bit more and doing some resistance training.

[@MariaEmmerich]

We hear that a lot. Glad you’re on the right path now! ❤️

[@millimetrar]

Ha! You are exactly at same point as I am. Priming and 200g fat did not work for me - everything got worse. How is this higher protein going, for how long have you been doing it?

[@dr.sarah.zaldivar]

Wow, that is horrible advice. I'm so sorry you fell for that, and I'm glad you're here :)

[@TheKingdomWeigh]

@@millimetrar I originally lost over 100 lbs on Atkins in 2006, kept most off but some creeped back in so I entered the Carnivore Community 3 years ago. I started with Priming, which set me on course to gain weight. Ten Naiman, Maria & Craig and Ben Bikmann plus a few others seem to be on the right track. I’ve been leaning towards Maria’s Keto and PSMF Book only for a month and am already seeing results plus I feel great. Currently I’m doing one day/week PSMF ‘cause I only have about 20lbs I’d like to lose. I’m faithfully tracking in Cronometer and incorporating more egg whites, fish and chicken instead of 2 lbs of beef plus fat like I was doing daily

[@MeatTPhan]

I think it would interesting content if you would interview someone from the Steak and Butter Gang channel and their priming protocol.

[@RichardR-kt9le]

They’re criticizing a protocol that they didn’t even get right. Priming saved my life. They just sound like a couple of complainers to me. Agreed that they should talk to the creators themselves.

[@craigemmerich]

You can get all the same results without the extreme hinging and fasting. Extended fasting results in muscle loss which will lower your BMR and metabolic rate over time. There are better ways. More on extended fasting here: mariamindbodyhealth.com/5-types-of-fasting-which-one-is-best-for-you/

[@joanlaur8981]

Tried the priming in the SBG group and it just made me want to eat more AND trying to do all the fat (although YUM delicious more butter please!) I picked up 5 pounds and they were like weight gain is fine you are healing your hormones etc. BUT putting on 5+ pounds in less than 10 days I was "done" with the priming. Started following Maria's protocols much more closely and now prioritizing quality protein and weight training...only have lost 2 of the extra 5 pounds but feel like I'm headed the right logical direction now! Thanks for the great interview Maria!

Maria & Dr. Sarah Zaldivar Thank you soooo much for lifting the veil off my eyes. I unfortunately was guided by "popular Carnivore influencers". I started the carnivore diet back in late Jan of this year. My choice wasn't for weight loss , as a 54 year old female it was more for arthritic pain, mood swings, and back pain after being vegetarian for almost 9 years. When I changed my diet to complete animal products I did notice the effects. I did have surgery on April 2 and noticed that recovery was better than the surgeries I previously had on a complete plant based diet. But as I mentioned, I was influenced and started adding a lot of butter like a "gal" did and ate all the meat I wanted as others promoted. Problem is, I am 5' 4" and ended up gaining an additional 15 pounds that I do NOT normally carry. Wow Wow Wow, now I understand why. The large amounts of food and butter did in fact trigger an eating frenzy for me. Crazy ride. This extra weight has actually made me feel like I am failing my journey to better health. Thank you again ladies for giving us information. And Maria, I will definietly be checking out your website and groups.

I'm 36 and had a hair trim the other day for the first time in a year. I knew I had one gray hair on the top of my head that I could find once in awhile. But I was really looking at my hair on the way home from the trim and found a little cluster on the underside of my hair. My husband and sons were struggling to understand my excitement. I'm going to love my grays. I think they are beautiful. ❤️ They are such a stunning shining silver.

I got sucked into the priming and fasting protocol and all it did was make me gain weight and now I feel “fluffier” than when I started. I wanted to do it to help get better body composition cause I don’t have a ton of weight to lose. Instead I look softer now. Trying to get this fat off but I have lost motivation.

Hi Maria, after fall from my bike I went to doc and had x-ray done to ensure I didn't break my finger and was told that unless I have surgery my finger will never be straight again. Well, I have healed my finger with peptide BPC-157 (on my own - no doctor needed😊) it feels like I never had that fall last year. I took peptides on and off for around 8 months; so I know that peptides work, do all peptides work? I don't know but I was lucky to heal my right hand finger with BPC-157

[@MariaEmmerich]

Yes! I have seen the benefits of MANY peptides! I just burned myself on my hand and I added topical GHK-cu on it and it’s completely healed in one day! I have a few videos about the ones I take.

My stomach cannot handle high fat! It makes me nauseous and gives me terrible digestive issues. I do best with high protein. Thank you ladies for this video! So informative! ❤

[@MariaEmmerich]

Me too 🙏🏻

[@toughlilbiscuit2521]

I discovered this too! I suddenly had all the digestive issues on high fat carnivore and had no idea what was going on. 😅

[@SueWoledge]

Gallbladder issues will cause that with high fat.

[@Lou-Lou_Bell]

Yes that's me as well! I struggle with all fat. Even 1 tbsp of peanut butter causes nausea and stomach pains and reflux

[@belle42]

Because you need to heal your gallbladder. Eating high protein is eating protein and excess and it’s very hard on your liver to convert all that protein into glucose. Which is what it is doing in the absence of fat and carbs. Which means you’re still not in ketosis but burning glucose for your energy.

[@thecarnitarianlife]

I loved this video! Very glad there's been more and more discussion about how the overeating involved in the feasting and fasting protocol has really been putting people in a worse spot! And the point about the personal fat threshold... yes! For some (a lot of) people, they'll find themselves in a bit of trouble with all the fat loading. It's been super hard for a lot of people to reverse out of that. Thank you @dr.sarah.zaldivar and Maria!

[@SueWoledge]

Some people actually lose weight while priming. We are all different.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Muscle loss will show up as weight loss on the scale. If not getting enough protein that can happen. Body composition is more important than the scale for this reason.

[@SueWoledge]

@@MariaEmmerich I don't think there would be a lack of protein while priming

[@anir8023]

Hello, Maria could you speak about iron overload (high protein high fat ) in menopause women . I was reading 2 studies confirming that . Should women be alarmed ?

[@MariaEmmerich]

That’s not something I’ve seen much about, but it is important to know your ferritin levels and if iron is high make necessary adjustments (avoid cooking in cast iron, reduce red meat consumption a bit, donate blood routinely) 😃

Allulose is made from corn

[@MariaEmmerich]

Allulose is made from a compound in veggies (sometimes from corn, yes), but it is fermented with an enzyme and is no longer a grain in that sense. It becomes allulose which the body does not absorb (it goes right through us).

[@cherylreed4377]

I have gastric response to allulose I'm sad about that I love how it tastes

[@lisaschmidt1625]

Great discussion, thank you. Have you listened to Ben Bickman discuss the impact that a low carb diet (ie fat for fuel) had on metabolic rate when lowering calorie intake? Sounds like there are ways to keep the metabolism higher even when in caloric deficit. Any thoughts?🎉

[@MariaEmmerich]

That is primarily due to increasing and maintaining good levels of protein. If you keep protein up you will maintain muscle and not lower your BMR. :)
