I am 46 years old. 5 months ago I was 6ft4 330lbs. I was as sedentary as could be imagined. I drank far too much. I ate any food that gave me a moment of happiness, with no regard for my well being. There could never be enough cake or fried chicken sandwiches to fullfill those cravings. I ate it all. I saw no way that I wasn't going to end up an invalid at some point in the future. I felt so much guilt that my wife would have to deal with me like that, and felt ashamed and powerless to do anything about it. I felt like I was letting down everyone I loved, and anyone who had ever invested any energy in me, in any form. I felt like shit all the time. I was having breathing issues, and stomach issues and I finally ended up in the hospital about 5 months ago. After a slew of tests, I was diagnosed as diabetic (7.6 a1c,) and as having non alcoholic steato hepatis (NASH) liver disease. It dawned on me that I very well could end up dying and leaving my wife to deal with the life partnership that we've built over the last decade, by herself. That was the biggest motivation to get me going. I need to enjoy as much life as possible with my wife, my heart and soul in the time we have on this earth. For a guy who would so often wander aimlessly, I've been able to block out everything and focus on a mission when I finally get mad (or scared,) enough. So I did. I've lost 70 lbs since that day, because no other outcome was acceptable. My a1c is down to 6.0, my liver is no longer enlarged, and the fatty deposits on my liver appear to be diminishing. Not all the way there yet, but success is now just a foregone conclusion. It's WHEN, not IF. I personally think fruits and veggies are ok, but only if you stay in ketosis when trying to lose weight. Just small amounts to switch up your new, regular eating habits. For me, I first cut out all sugar, alcohol, and almost all carbs. I started on a meat centric keto type diet, but when I started looking at keto recipes and meal plans, it just confused me. These so called "keto recipes," were really only suitable if you eat pretty small portions, and the use of artifical sweeteners is just kind of gross to me. It really seemed stupid to me. Carnivore made everything make sense as a starting point. I stuck to beef, beef liver, chicken liver, butter, egg yolks, and some chicken for three months. I didn't eat bacon, because, having NASH, I try to eliminate all toxins from entering my body and stressing my liver. I love cured meats, but I don't believe that nitrates, and nitritites are healthy, I also think sweetners are kind of like drinking wine to help quit drinking beer, if that makes any sense. Eventually, I got a bit tired of the same diet everyday, so I added an oz. of blueberries, with a quarter cup of full fat yogurt, with a little unsweetened, unflavoured whey protein. I also started adding a handfull of raw spinach under whatever piece of beef I was having that evening. That's all it took to get me horny for food again, but I always make sure I stay under 20g of gross carbs until I hit my target weight (225.) I don't know why I felt the need to write this today, but I did have a real moment today when I went to buy some shirts, and found that I now wear XLT, as opposed to 3XLT 5 months ago. It was a wonderful, emotional moment, and It's going to take a while to fully appreciate how special it was. I'm sorry for rambling along, and for being a bad writer with scattered thoughts, but I feel fucking proud today for the first time in a long time.

I eat meats and fruits. The only fruits I eat are: watermelon, melons, cucumber, zucchini, kiwi, dragon fruit, mangoes, papaya with the seeds, berries, plums, lemon and limes. I make a fruit salad with above mentioned fruits and use lemons or limes as a dressing and have 1 cup of it as lunch. For dinner I eat lean chicken or lean fish on days I eat fruits. I'll probably just eat meat once a day during winter months. I'm new to eating meat so it's been helpful with my transition to more carnivore/ketovore. I also noticed on my recent blood work, my liver enzymes were better than when I was just eating meat. Fruits are everything that comes from flowers so please don't forget that cucumbers and zucchini, and other squashes are fruits and they are lower in carbs than the sweet ones we usually call fruits and can be beneficial for some people.

[@VegetaPrinceOfSaiyans]

This is similar to what i eat. I tried doing around 95% animal based for about 5 weeks and felt pretty decent and my workouts were nice. But recently been focusing on meat and fruit as my base with starches optional depending on my needs as far as training and strength. It feels very good, i think the fruits just work well for me.

[@ant7936]

Very interesting. There's a huge difference between supermarket fruit and fresh; the most delicious orange/fig I ever ate was picked by me, off the trees. This week also, I visited a local orchard and bought apples which were on the tree yesterday. _So_ much more juicy, crisp and delicious than any I've bought out of season in a store! So, eating _a little_ fruit, strictly _in season_ (usually autumn), makes sense to me, in a Carnivore lifestyle.

I've been wanting to go carnivore but I have 3 mango trees with ripe fruit right now. No way can I forego eating mangoes.

[@foxedrey622]

Lillie, good points you make here. The meat and fruit issue is still being debated... Earlier this year, I quit eating whole fruit. Orange trees are plentiful in many of my client's backyards. I indulged until it backfired within my gut. I'm too carnivore inside my G.I. tract! When I learned how fructose affects the body, I realized that it is not necessary for the human body. I even removed the honey from my coffee! That being said, I do have my indulgences with fruit, in a different way. I prefer plants fermented before consuming them. It helps to break them down and lessen the toxins. Pickled cucumbers or onions are okay. For grains, I enjoy beers and distilled liquors, made from them. As for fruit, a craft beer or distilled liquor, that includes them in the mix, will satisfy my taste. The main crux of eating carnivore is to reduce the increase of glucose within the blood, and keep the Randle Cycle in check.

[@davidwelday3276]

Being a beer lover myself, especially amber beers, I had to find a substitute. Found hard seltzers, 1 or 2 grams of carbs. Not the same but good enough

[@milindatalwatte]

Very interesting results. I did the exact same thing as you. Strict keto for 5 years, carnivore for 1 year. I did the same reintroduction of fruit: apples, clementines, papayas, pineapple and berries. No vegetables. (Also due to Paul Saladino). I had basically 1 fruit per meal, 3 meals a day. so about 60-70g of carbs a day. I have very high performance workouts 6 days a week. My overall results: much higher 'mental' energy. Athletic performance stayed essentially the same. Worse sleep (for sure shorter duration) but weirdly higher energy despite that. Much more water retention and bloat. More weight loss, because weight stayed the same after 3 weeks despite added water retention. Overall feel much, much better. Could also be hormonal changes at play from reintroducing carbs. This part I think Paul Saladino is onto something. BTW: For reference: I'm 40, male, 12% body fat, muscular and very athletic. Thank you for sharing your results!

[@LillieKane]

That’s good to hear! Thanks for sharing your results. Always interesting to compare and see what works or doesn’t work for others. I think us athletes/those who work out could notice the addition of carbs as an overall net positive. Thanks again for sharing! Have a great week 🥰

[@melissajanaemiddleton6811]

Just a couple things that come to mind from your experience: ~Hunger after eating the watermelon in spite of having had a full meal prior: eating the watermelon kicked your body into sugar-burning mode, and it was looking for more sugar and needed time to revert to fat-burning mode. I've had the same experience myself. ~Gassiness after eating fruit. One word for you: Food Combining! (Okay, 2 words 😏) Some fruits just digest better on an empty stomach.. when there's other food digesting at the same time, they tend to ferment and create gas because they have to hang around waiting for the proteins and fats to digest. That's all! 😃

[@Halpedersen]

Are you saying that whenever you eat, nothing is passed on from your stomach until everything is broken down? Like, you dam it up and pass all of it at once? So if you basically never stopped munching on stuff all day, it would just fill up your stomach and never pass on to be absorbed until you stop eating? Think about this theory. Really think it through.

[@melissajanaemiddleton6811]

@@Halpedersen No, of course the stomach won't just dam it all up eternally, but it will try to digest the contents fully before passing them on to the small intestine, as partially digested contents could cause problems there. But what ends up happening is that some of the food, like some kinds of fruit, will start to ferment as they are hanging around waiting for the more complex items to break down, and that's less than ideal. Some fruits are worse in this regard than others... something like berries won't be as much of a problem as melon, for instance. Everyone's body is a bit different as the ph of the stomach can vary in individuals.

[@cathyann6835]

I’m subscribed. I did a little over a week ago. About 12 days ago I started low carb and I’m transitioning to keto. I have autoimmune issues and know I am dumping oxalate. So I’m trying to ease into things since I was having gastrointestinal issues for years but since about June, it got really bad. Diarrhea out of nowhere and nausea that was so bad I couldn’t eat or leave the house. I saw your videos and carnivore videos come up and got interested in those. I already had to be gluten free and dairy free, but remembered my doctor told me a few years ago my symptoms would improve if I went grain free, completely. (Plus decrease to very little sugar, like simple fruits). Keto sounded close to that diet. When I watched carnivore videos, I wanted to try that too. I know I haven’t done this very long but even just starting I lost 5# and I’m not in ketosis yet. I’m trying to do carnivore 2 meals and keto one meal. I was getting so dizzy even with electrolyte replacement and twice I ate a baked potato I weighed at around 100 grams and leaned toward adding the one low carb green vegetable serving a day. I also have a small or half portion of fruit about every third day. I want to feel better, and I’m definitely interested in watching your future videos where you have these extra foods in case my body doesn’t want complete carnivore or regular keto. I’m using a tracker and my carbs are still in range for keto even with these cheats. I also don’t have a gallbladder. I take digestive enzymes but still burp like a boozer. 😂 If I get healthy doing this, maybe I could be interviewed in the future 😊. I just noticed this video is a year old. I’ll have to look at your video lists. Hopefully you see this.

[@pheenobarbidoll2016]

She wud still always have her flare ups. One of my aunties noticed it was mangoes. She is really not a science person but she understood it. I am more of a science person but i only used to go by the books (what a shame...) So many medical misconceptions. Mangoes are super rich in fructose and it triggers gout like crazy... Anyhow, when I started learning more about this new lifestyle, i finally understood this and told my auntie she was so right !

As usual, the toxicity/tolerance issue always depends on the dosage, and everyone will be different based on genetics and several factors. I've tried pure carnivore and feel great, and adding fruits don't really seem to change much for me, for either better or worse. I simply add it because it doesn't cause me any detriments in reasonable amounts + it allows me to eat kiwi/banana/watermelon, which largely eliminates any possibility of electrolyte deficiencies. I notice that even when i let loose on the weekend and eat some junk/carby meals, i don't seem to get that "carb frenzy" that causes me unable to stop, which is indicative of my body being able to process it without overly spiking blood sugar.

irrelevant unless you are diabetic or overconsuming calories. Fruit is shown to help people lose weight in human trials. Of course if you dont like it thats your prerogative, but no need to fear the carbs.

[@lonnisplace1459]

I understand people's issues with fruit. I experimented here and there with mostly raw or seared meat, raw dairy, organs and fruit some months back and I felt incredible. Easy digestion, stable energy throughout the day. I tried keto, carnivore, meat with stone fruits, bbbe+ blueberries. Had different issues with each one. Tbf, I didn't go for a long enough to adjust to those ways of eating. I had to stop because the issues I was having were impacting my day to day life at those times. Doing this recently, however was better for me. I did have one issue, though. I would get headaches from eating too much fruit, and the place I was getting my food from was quite expensive for me to keep going consistently, which is why I only experimented a few weeks. I am overweight, so when I get a good enough paying job and move into my own place, I'll eat meat based with maybe one low carb fruit a day until I heal myself and get to a healthy and natural weight. Then, I might include fruits for energy, hydration, minerals, etc. I think certain fruit is essential for certain people to thrive and live happily more than eating only meat. For others, if you can't tolerate fruit, that's also fine. In the end, our natural food and the basis to our diet should be meat, organs, bones, fat, eggs, raw dairy, maybe fruit, maybe fermented plants in limited amounts

[@0ptimal]

That watermelon hunger deal was likely to do with insulin. You get a new out of the ordinary spike and when it fades it makes you starving. I've been eating once a day, in the evening, for years now, never hungry at all but if I eat anything, even a cracker, during the day I will become unnbelievably famished a short time later.

My plan as I’m starting off slower now, as I’m usually an all in or nothing kinda person and because veggies for some reason cooked or raw give me colon spasms, “I have diverticular disease” I can only eat fruit. Nothing processed, I’m eating one meal a day, protein as my main course, then a small amount of fruit. I can do without everything else. I’m going to listen to my body for now. Oh and yogurt I love yogurt.

Similar reactions for me if I try to have fruits or veg regularly… The dandruff will come back right away (among other health issues) An occasional fruit / veg up to twice a week is fine for me though. can’t do well on avocados either just like you, has to be a small serving very few and far between. For me it’s the high histamine count with avocados that brings the problems. Citrus and berries are the worst for me. But, I do good on most tropical fruits and melons. It can be very individual, just have to see what works for you. loved seeing you experiment with this

I tried meat and fruit but it messed with my blood sugar and candida.

So now I eat "carnivore" plus 5 slices of Ezekiel bread everyday to give me 75g of carbs per day. This has been working well for me. I also recently discovered the importance of consuming way more salt (unrefined - minimum 3 tsp per day) which has really been improving my CFS, POTS, and insomnia.

[@danfox8819]

Hey Lily, I enjoy videos I think you do a great job! Couple of things you might want to consider. First of all, avocados have quite a bit of carbohydrate in them. I think 12 to 14 g which converts immediately to glucose i.e. sugar. Secondly, if you do use a CGM in the future, keep in mind a lot of that fruit you’re eating will have glucose and fructose, the fructose is not going to increase the reading on your CGM. And one final point, according to Bart, K, fructose is 7 to 10 times more damaging to your bodies tissues as glucose. Just something to consider.

[@MoneyStrategiesSOULutions]

According to K?

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Fructose gives u fatty liver And it doesn’t show up on ur BG readings, no Keep high fructose fruits as a No Go Stick to high fiber fruits Avos 15g carbs? Even in a whole avo I don’t think so. But 1/4-1/2 is plenty with nice fatty meat anyway.

[@trail.blazer]

@@MoneyStrategiesSOULutions Professor Bart Kay. He does science based nutrition videos.

[@trail.blazer]

@@YeshuaKingMessiah Fructose *will* raise blood glucose readings, but it is delayed due to the liver having to metabolise the fructose, so the negative effect can be more hidden. Effectively it is a much lower glycemic index than glucose but overall a similar glycemic load. Due to the reduce GI it would keep a glucose spike and resulting insulin down, which is good, but fructose is still very glycating compared with glucose. I agree that high fructose should be a No Go. A small amount of fruit is probably okay for most people, but it may become difficult to know how much is too much.

[@frankb7811]

totally agree with you in regards to the price of fruit for the nutritional value...I usually will eat a banana or two per day and an apple. that's early on in the day. Once in a blue, I'll have a salad, but mostly air fry all my proteins and I am extremely satisfied with my lifestyle!

I’ve been carny for about 9 months now, and look forward to the day that I can hopefully incorporate some fruit back into my diet. It’s definitely the thing I miss the most. Didn’t know they were less anti nutrient than veggies. Will have to do a deep dive into that for more info. One last thing…if you’re hanging your hat on “Element”, or most any prepackaged electrolyte for your electrolyte requirements, you would have to consume an enormous quantity to come close to meeting even a fourth of you RDA., as they have minuscule amounts of Sodium, Magnesium, and Potassium to keep it palatable. Better off just making your own. Not as tasty, but actually “effective”. Thanks for a very interesting vid!

@@YeshuaKingMessiah Watch out for NoSalt (Potassium chloride) as chronic long term usage is associated with reduced B12 absorption. Potassium citrate may be better.
