Honestly if I eat protein without fat, I don’t stop eating because I’m satiated, I stop eating because it’s not enjoyable to eat.

[@craigemmerich]

That is a component of satiety.

​@craigemmerich not true. Fat and protein do come together even if the animal is lean. Unless you're eating rabbits.

I loved this info. I started carnivore Jan this year after being lo carb about 6 years. I listen to all these so called experts talk on butter butter butter. High fat basically. Nobody measures macros or could answer my question. I had about 30 pounds to lose. I watched all the videos I could on the daily. I commented with my question about such high fat consumption. I am a RN and now retired early and am post menopausal. So weight packs on me easily. I always wanted to hear the science facts. Was told eat till you’re full. Satiated. Don’t count. I started gaining weight on my 2-3 month. And maintained the weight. I journaled everything I ate. I’m on day 202 now. I started to adjust my fat macros lower and make sure I reach the proteins. I noticed I was dropping weight. But was that in a group I had found that was popular to eat more fat bc I have to “prime” my body and forget about losing weight. Feeling good and curing ailments was more important. How can I get healthy if I’m gaining weight ?? So, I quit that group $30 month with bs advice.. I am now adjusted my fat intake lower and am doing much better. I am tracking my ketones and glucose levels twice a day and measure my body and still journaling and enter all I consume into carb app. It’s sad being told to eat butter all day every day!! basically is not good and does not work at least it did not work for me. I was telling everybody that I was on a journey to lose weight, but I noticed I was still gaining , !!! so basically I’m losing weight at a good rate with less fat, thank you for confirming my own research. This video has really really been the best video. I have watched since January on the carnivore diet especially for a menopausal woman. I’ve been praying for answers and this has confirmed and thank you thank you thank you.

There is no black and white. But one thing is for certain, you need a certain amount of protein every day. Dietary fat, you adjust based on your goals. Lower for more burned off the body. Higher for maintenance. And we believe low carb is best with any goal.

[@craigemmerich]

With bipolar, you might not be able to go as low in dietary fat as some without symptoms increasing. So it will be but if trial and error to see what works best for you to keep symptoms down while not getting too much fat if weight loss is also a goal.

omg I loved this chat! thanks craig! I think where most of us go astray....is to start out...to get you fat adapted...you really do need to up your fat intake/ drop carbs to teach your body about energy utilization. We start loosing weight....getting into burning off that glycogen ..... and we just keep going.... thinking its the winning formula. You can only up the fat while teaching your body how to work better. If you got weight to drop....CUT IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ate way too many nuts for a year. and mct oil is not my friend. Really screwed me over. Since cutting out the nuts and unnecessary fats I am doing so much better. Something I do notice though...I am quite vegie sensitive...loose bowels and stuff. But if I add a teaspoon of butter to them. (beans, zucchini, asparagus cauli musrooms) I TOLERATE THEM 100% BETTER...and this makes me happy because I like my plate 70% protein and 30% low carb veg variety.But the little bit of fat....seems to matter greatly with the veg element. Why do you think this would be craig?? thanks

I appreciate them discussing the need for insulin as Type 1's. I've had it for almost 30 years and it's true you need insulin no matter what and it could be hours from the actual meal. I see blood sugar spikes 4-6 hours after a fat/protein meal.

[@hektor6766]

Of course you need SOME insulin. No one can argue with that. Insulin and glucagon work together to keep your blood glucose level somewhere around 4-5 mmol/L. Too high is as bad as too low.

[@cammieklund]

Very interesting!🌞 One thing I'm wondering about though. Dr Sean O'mara who does those MRI:s regarding visceral fat says that his clients that doesn't lose visceral fat has to "lower their protein and increase their fats" bcs they are insulin resistant. Once they do that and lost visceral fat they increase the protein. Dr Elizabeth Bright says kind of the same thing. Her insulin resistant clients have to "lower the protein and increase fats" to lose weight and then she increases their protein. Neither Dr O'mara nor Dr Bright are recommending very low protein though whey they say to "lower the protein". It's not to "keto-levels". But they have seen in their clinical experience that some of their clients have to atleast "moderate" their protein a bit and increase the fats a bit to be able to overcome the insulin resistance. And then they can increase the protein and lower the fats a bit. And for women's hormones it's apparently more important to be on a bit of a "higher fat"-side. So it's confusing to say the least...😅 It would be easier I think if people would start to give examples when they talk about these arbitrary statements like "lowering protein" or "increase fats" or vice versa! You all might be closer to each other than you think if you would start to talk ACTUAL grams or macros! 😅 Bcs for some "lower protein" might still be around 100-120 g and so on ..I think you get my point? What are your thoughts regarding Dr O'maras clinical experience? The MRI:s don't lie. Do you think that his insulin resistant clients might have been eating higher protein AND higher fats and that's why they couldnt lose the visceral fat? But why would they start to lose when they lowered the protein and increased the fats though?🤔

[@craigemmerich]

Please watch this. In no scenario will increasing dietary fat and lowering protein help with fat loss and improving body composition. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYm3i56Intimfbc

[@craigemmerich]

Also, when losing body fat the body will remove the fat from the places it least wants it to be first, like in the organs. So as long as you have proper macros the body will resolve this as you lose body fat.

[@cammieklund]

@@craigemmerich Thanks for answering but I don't really understand sadly.🤔😅 What are "proper macros"? Another arbitrary statement.🙃 I wanted you to respond to the fact that some of Dr O'maras patients have to "lower protein and increase fats" to lower visceral fats. You talk about that overweight people don't lose weight on that in this video bcs they already carry so much weight. But apparently some do atleast. I've heard both "sides". It really seems like some do better on higher protein and some do better on higher fats. Whatever that means for people....😅

[@seanveach950]

Nature has a beautiful way of limiting us. Unfortunately, we are far from nature. Eating till stuffed likely would not be a problem if we then went days until that happened again. Artificially trying to gauge that on a daily basis is just extremely tough. Someone I was listening to not long ago said hunger is the signal to go look for food, not to just sit down and eat. Would we eat more as it gets colder? Very likely as we need more food to stay warm, and the need to make sure we had food would be more urgent. Over all of this, sitting in front of a tv or computer was not the norm. Very different conditions. I still think high ketones is a sign that there is just way too much fat energy being processed. We should likely be just barely making ketones if the metabolism is efficient. I am carnivore mostly because I just love eating simply and have no desire for variety for the sake of variety, but I am not really opposed, or concerned, with eating a variety if one realy thinks they need some. However, I do believe variety introduces other things that can harm the body and there can be some issue there, though likely much less as we are more metabolically healthy. Have to do what seems to work for you over the long run, as you all said repeatedly. Best of luck!

I only hear people in the carnivore community suggesting you may need to increase your fat. And then they also say you may need to lower your fat. The point is to not be afraid of it because it's been demonitized. But you have to tweak the macros as you go to suit you. That's the general message.

[@user-ne6cq6kh8r]

I see that you are responding to many of the comments, which is great. I am wondering if you can say anything about why people store fat around their organs (sometimes), what that says about their health, and mainly what is driving that fat storage location (just personal fat threshold reached, or something else?). Also, would love to hear a conversation between you guys and Dr. Ben Bikman (not an argument, but a discussion of facts). Thanks.

[@craigemmerich]

Typically that is a sign that they have reached their personal fat threshold. Too many of their adipose tissues (fat storage cells) are stuffed and fat starts to accumulate around the organs, in the organs (fatty liver, fatty pancreas). More on that HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYjYnIuIaKtrf6s

[@martykendall5111]

The differences of opinion are largely due to different perspectives. Most studies only focus on the short-term insulin response to food, which is the timeframe that carbs dominate. Because that's what's usually measured, that's what gets managed. But when we look at data from T1Ds on a lower-carb diet and fasting/basal insulin in T2Ds vs. metabolically healthy people, we see that dietary fat and body fat also play a significant role in the insulin equation. Basal insulin represents 70-80% of the daily insulin demand for someone on a lower-carb diet. Hence, focusing on things that will help people reduce their basal insulin makes sense. Lowering carbs is definitely the first step for someone with diabetes. However, once glucose is stable, the focus must be on increased satiety to keep lowering the insulin demand. Overlooking the impact of dietary fat and body fat on insulin can lead to someone being confidently wrong and giving fat a free pass. Hence, it's worth drawing attention to.

I knew there was something wrong with me when I couldn't get fat anymore. I think it has something to do with my adrenal glands being burnt out. Or not having enough stem cells. Either way, I went keto and lost visceral fat, feel so much better. Now doing more Hiit, craving carbs every few days. Will eat a handful of figs. Does the trick usually without triggering more carbs.

[@sgill4833]

After listening to this a second time, I just had an epiphany, the reason I can't store fat is because I had 15 years of high cortisol and adrenal fatigue. So my fat cells are destroyed, so whenever I over eat, I can't store it as fat and I feel sick tired and lethargic. But when I fast for over 24 hrs I feel really sick and anxious and unable to sleep again. Then I'll end up binging on macadamia nuts and feel good enough to sleep again. So I have such a narrow band between over eating and eating enough not to crave more.

[@sgill4833]

Just to clarify, I was trying to achieve autophagy which was the reason for my fast and protein deactivates austophagy, which is why I went for macadamia nuts, rather than protein.

(Carnivore in my opinion) doesn’t require tracking, it doesn’t mean eat just to eat. If one eats meat that has fat in it until satisfied, I believe good results will follow. If food is a point of enjoyment, aka: I don’t feel for that, you are not truly hungry. In the end people need to be true to themselves and realize everyone has to decide for themselves what they are willing to do and what benefits they are willing to forgo because of their choices.

About 5 years of finger pokes while eating mostly carnivore made me realize that 80 grams of protein is my limit without a gradual rise in blood glucose.

For the most part fat is fat. Most foods contain a combination of PUFA, MUFA and SFA. But the data suggests more monounsaturated fat aligns with eating more. Makes sense given that it's the energy source that has increased the most in the past century since we started refining oils. SFA tends to come with protein, so they cancel out. And PUFA is such a small portion of our energy intake that it's not a significant factor in the overall scheme of thing.

Time and time again Maria and Craig say your fat to protein ratio is dependent on where you are in your carnivore journey. If you have weight to lose you should make sure to hit your protein target and vary your fat (some days 80% fat and some PSMF days only 30g of fat). They have never recommended low fat for extended periods or for carnivores who do not need to lose weight. Most days I shoot for 60% fat and 40% protein. If I have a low energy day I throw in a ribeye and hit 80/20. If my weight loss stalls I do a PSMF day. It’s really not rocket science.

[@craigemmerich]

[@martykendall5111]

60% fat seems to be a sweet spot for maintenance. Maybe 70% fat if you don't eat any carbs. The main factor is protein - 12.5% is optimal for maximum fat gain, while 40% protein is a stretch target for fat loss. Adjust based on goals.

Small meals...... If you undereat on Carnivore you'll gain weight. You need to eat till your full. If you are trying to lose weight, and don't have any issues with food. Understand what a low to no carb diet really is. Your body burns carbs first, before it starts to burn fat. So carbs are literally blocking your ability to burn fat. That's the reason people feel doing exercise is pointless for losing weight, because those people are only burning carbs, and never do it long enough to get to the fat. But if you have no carbs in your system, then your every movement will burn fat for fuel. That means, using calories in, and calories out, doesn't really work right on Carnivore. Because you don't have carbs literally blocking your ability to burn fat over and over again all day. You are burning fat all day long, with very little Interruption. So find out what your BMR is, and add 300 calories to it. That can be your diet calories. I was eating 4 pounds of 73% ground beef a day, and was losing weight. So you could probably eat a little more than your BMR, plus 300 calories, and still lose weight. If you are coming to Carnivore from diets where you ate very little, your Metabolism is probably damaged. So you need to Prime on carnivore for a couple of weeks, till your body is at max maintenance level, and then can start eating more normally for carnivore. You don't starve yourself on carnivore. It's very important that you eat till your full. Because your burning fat all day, it allows you to eat much more than normal, because you don't have carbs triggering Insulin all day, which turns off your ability to burn fat. Also, because you don't have carbs, your body needs to use fat as fuel, so you need more fat, so eating low fat won't go well.
