SARDINES (That's for the FREE sardines!) I've been doing the sardine fast with you but I am eating a few pork rinds with mine. Only eating 2 cans once a day. I like apple cider vinegar with mine and either some mustard or hot sauce. I don't mind the tails because I grew up in the south eating the tails on fried panfish like bream, bass, and crappie! I've been stalled for the last couple of months so I'm also checking my ketones for the first time too. I was surprised that my ketones were only .5 after eating OMAD on sardines! My sugar has been very low for me getting down to 66. I feel dizzy at about 68. Dr. Boz was saying you couldn't lose weight consistently if your sugar is three digits so it's hard for me to stay under a 100. I have type II diabetes. Before I started carnivore I was having sugar numbers into the 400's!! I've done really good since I started carnivore/ketovore last Sept. Good luck on reaching your goal, but you seriously look good where you are!

So I am going to go back to basics (day 1) and do a 30 day Meat, Fish, Butter and Eggs challenge. Dairy kept creeping back in (lots of decaf cappuccino's, brie, greek yogurt for dessert) and this lead to a cheat day on Saturday and finishing what was left over on Sunday and now I have cheated the last 3 Saturday's and I need to put a break on it. So wish me luck! now finishing your video... Love Suzanne

From what I understand is that there are several different types of small fish that can be sold as “sardines.” I wonder if that might be the difference in fishiness between brands.

I’m in the middle of my 3 day sardine challenge. I’m surprised at how different the different brands taste. I switched to water packed because so many of the oil packed has soybean oil(I’m allergic to soy of all kinds)and the Season brand is my favorite.

Hi Courtney! I have done the Sardine Protocol, as Dr. Boz calls it, several times, but only for 3 days at a time. I like the Season's brand the best. I do put it in a bowl and pretty much chop it up with a fork, mixing in the oil. I think it taste very much like tuna. I don't put anything else on them. The thing that amazed me was how satiating they are and how amazing my numbers were. I am trying to remember. On the third day, I think my lowest Glucose number was something like 27 which kind of scared me. My Ketones were over 6.0. I couldn't believe it! I know it sounds like I am not telling the truth, but seriously, I am. I have not been doing the 3 day challenge for a while, but I do eat a can of sardines in the morning for breakfast, several days a week, on a regular basis. I had a knee replacement a few months back, so I have not been sticking to only sardines. I am thinking that I should do it again. You have inspired me.

I don't love sardines, but I don't hate them either. I eat them mixed with avocado mayo and some seasoning. I'm not carnivore, so I'll saute some veg and then break up the sardines and sprinkle them on top with some seasoning. The reason to go carnivore is to get rid of the crap, right. "Natural flavors" are usually anything but natural. Also, the skin and bones have lots of good nutrients.

​@@Jayla-dj2gjyes people eat the bones. The bones are so soft and tiny, that they're barely noticeable. The bones are a great source of calcium. Honestly, I didn't know you could even get boneless, skinless sardines and I've been eating them since I was a little girl. We would have them between toasted bread slathered in butter. SO GOOD!! 🤤🤤

Sardines ❤ can't wait to try this type of fasting..thank you for sharing your journey with us!

[@psmith2508]

I loved sardines as a kid. We would all gather at a picnic table as different kids went in their homes for saltines and sardines. It’s a fun memory.

[@debijohanning985]

Seasons boneless skinless are the best - sautéed in butter! They go on sale at Costco!!!

[@debijohanning985]

Packed in oil is best even if you drain the oil (dog loves this oil). Can also sauté in MCT oil

Sardines I have never seen that many varieties of sardines. I am impressed. Thanks for your review.

[@CourtneyLuna]

My pleasure 😊

[@cassandrarouse5899]

Welp! You’ve convinced me to go to Walmart and check out the selection of sardines! I also added tropical fruit Waterloo to my cart! Love ya lots Courtney! Thanks for the inspiration! Keep doing what you’re doing! ❤

[@lynettegayle-turpin6202]

Do you think it would work if I did this every other day????

[@amberlynn72]

I ate Sardines for lunch yesterday with Saltines. (Not doing a special diet) And I never ate again for 6 hours. I never thought about food or being hungry at all.. I ran out of Sardines but you have given me some ideas to make sardines. going to try air frying sardine patties somehow. I usually smash them up or eat whole with hot sauce and horseradish and sometimes with dijon with cracker or crusty bread

[@carnivorerevolution]

Love you! Such a great video!

[@kettle589]

Fabulous video. Watching from Ireland

[@cleigh951]

Can you please tell me what you were mixing up to drink in the beginning of this video? Thanks!!

[@zachlucas235]

Sardines sardines!! Thank you Courtney for all you do, I love your channel, and you did amazing for making it that far.

[@andrej2321]

30:30 loved the video. You had me at pork rinds cereal. Now that’s a break and a fast for the champions! Do sardines go well with it?

[@GramaSagefeather]

Just being honest, I put the playback speed to 175I do most vids. Also fast forwarded to 27: 49 I was amazed at how much thinner your face and neck looks. That is fast weight loss!

[@sophieheptinstall-bolton7994]

Could you eat them with vinegar or lemon juice?

[@amel-jg5ui]

When you fry up the tail they make a nice crunchy snack 😄

[@Nail.Queen.Asmr.]

I will absolutely try this. I’m stuck on this weight and I need to do a reset!! 6.1 lbs wow that’s amazing 🤩 and in each checking I could see changes on your face. You look great 😊

[@Nail.Queen.Asmr.]

Also, can I do lemon in them?

[@nancyj621]

Look in the refrigerated section for fresh horseradish. Bubbies makes a fermented horseradish.

[@christinemeldrum9698]

Your skin looks so much better at the end of the video. Not that it looks bad in the beginning but there’s a difference

[@Dracomies]

For flavor get Flower Spiced Sardines. They're not quite like a Nuri but they're $1.99 each and have 28 g of protein and are much tastier than all the other brands.

[@mimii3000]

Ive never eaten plain sardines before...I usually eat a can of sardines mixed with tuna with mayo and use them as a dip for pork rinds. Maybe I'll try a sardine fast. Have you ever done a fat fast? So is it 3 cans per day for the sardine fast?

[@pbeck610]

I found that sardines are more tolerable if fried in butter, add Dijon mustard and capers. The saltiness from capers takes away the yuck.

[@TipTop-rt6wu]

Try draining sardines, add finally diced half lemon skin & all. Either add cheese or natural yogurt. Few herbs spices. Mix store to eat when you want.

[@betteloves7793]

Because of you I took the plunge and tried a can of sardines! It wasn’t as bad as I thought, I only eat them occasionally, heard they are good for brain heath.
