5 Carnivore Diet Questions Answered for Beginners

[@nataliesanders3733]

This is a great video. I have been carnivore for 3 months. I have lost 42 lbs but hit a stall. Now I have had 4 ladies from work ask me questions about this diet and I have sent them all this video. Thanks so much for reiterating that I am still on the right track even though my weight has stalled. I get my motivation from videos on KZbin because my family is not carnivore. Thank you!!! 🙏

[@anyaroz8619]

Wow Natali, this is amazing of you! How do you manage to stay carnivore with a non-carnivore husband? Is he supportive? I want to try carnivore, but my husband is not going to support me and so I am still not there. I am doing ok with just overall keeping a "healthy" diet. But. I end up cooking all the time and I'd rather go carnivore and have a break cooking-wise

[@nataliesanders3733]

@@anyaroz8619 I lucked out… my hubby is the cook in the house. Normally we cook on Sunday for my meals through out the week. When he cooks for the family with all the seasonings he just does my protein with salt. It is hard to not eat what they are eating sometimes (especially when he cooks homemade bread)😂but I have a gluten sensitivity so that has gotten some easier with time. If hubby is not supportive or is not doing this way of eating with you, get your inspiration and motivation from KZbin videos. I just got Courtney Luna’s carnivore in the kitchen cookbook. There might be some recipes in there that he will like to try. When we get a bright idea in the kitchen for my weekly meals… hubby tries them and is like “Oh! I could eat this”🤦🏼‍♀️ Just keep going down the rabbit hole on research and watch as many people as you can and it will help with motivation! Good luck!

[@CarnivoreJourney0609]

Natalie, stalling is part of the journey. Happened to me numerous times in my 545 days of carnivore. I have lost 66 pounds now. Carnivorejourney0609 is my KZbin channel and I have some videos in there about breaking a stall. Good luck.

Fellow Texan here and I relate to Ashley so much!! Prior to being carnivore I was such a “foodie” and constantly wanting to learn how to cook new things and there’s honestly a huge part of me that still wishes I could travel the world and taste all the food and maybe someday I will, but for right now I am 2 months in to being strict carnivore (very little to no dairy, the only dairy I have on occasion is cream), and so far I have lost 18 lbs and 22.5 inches and I have no cravings, sleeping wonderfully and no longer having to take sleep aids at night, and the list goes on. One thing that shocked me about becoming carnivore is the “break” that happened in regards to cooking and spending so much time being in the kitchen - I thought I would miss this but it’s actually been very freeing, like Ashley said! It’s so nice to not have to constantly figure out what I’m going to cook every night… I do still cook some non-carnivore things for my husband and son but not nearly as often as I used to. Steaks and burger patties are my daily go-to and I love it! ❤

[@laura44135]

Thank you talking about food addiction. I think a lot of carnivores miss this aspect. As a food addict, carnivore helps but I can absolutely still overeat and occasionally binge on something I don't want to eat. Understanding the importance of raising dopamine, exercising and managing my food intake has been helping immensely. Fasting is a no go for me as a food addict.

[@sarahgomez6740]

Carnivore diet has simplified things for me. My inflammation is down, gastric issues are down. I drink alot of water with Celtic sea salt & use electrolytes too. Carb withdrawal is a real thing, oxalate dumping caused me a rash but if you treat the rash, work thru it & things will get better. I strength train several times a week. Its all a process. Stay with it

[@anyaroz8619]

Thank you, ladies! Oh and you both are soooo charming, so beautiful. A pleasure to listen to and to watch you two speak

Two of my favorite carnivores!!❤

My favorite part of this video is Ashley’s emphatic “Y’ALL…”. Love it! 😂 👏🏻

Took me *a g e s* to take off weight but it did happen. Now have kept off for a year. Amazing feeling. Thx gals.😊

[@candacev2721]

Thanks Laura and Ashley. Great information.

[@finagill]

I love tomatoes and peppers. Luckily, I don't have any noticeable reaction to them. I did BBB&E for 90 days and then added them back in.

[@BoraSwings]

Thanks Laura and Ashley.

I love it!!! Went from keto in March to carnivore. No regrets whatsoever

I walk on a MANUAL treadmill every day for about an hour

Love your content. My wife and I are carnivore 16 months. I’m down 70 lbs and 7 inches in my waist. Mostly beef.

[@jamiepatton9334]

This was good for even us not so new carnivores. I needed this. Im 46, and really feeling perimenopause even with HRT.

[@jeanwoodall1523]

I have always enjoyed walks and hikes. I found kettlebells and Lauren Brooks in my late twenties. They are effective and fun. I still love them at age 45. You have to find activities you enjoy.

You're both stunning. Keep up the great work!

[@janicemorris1585]

Good advice. I have a friend who is thinking about transitioning from Keto to Carnivore. I'm going to share this with her. Also, I'd like to say we've always thought we had to exercise to lose weight. But that's truly not the case. Exercise is to help with strengthening our muscles, including our heart muscle, stamina and balance. If you just incorporate walking it will help tremendously.

[@oilinmylamp]

Loved your friend and hearing her journey and perspective.

[@janetgr11]

Love this video! The two of you are highly motivational.

[@susanshaw6417]

Thanks Ladies! You both look fantastic. Thank you for mentioning menopause because i have discovered i have to eat less also.

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

Great questions and answers. I can't regulate cheese. I found out there's a protein or enzyme or some part of cheese (i saw in a carnivore video) where it effects some people in their brains to cause that craving. Once i cut it all the way out and leave for just if i eat out and do without at home, the cheese food noise is gone.

[@nataliesanders3733]

@@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD I’ve seen many videos that say it also stalls weight loss. I have maybe a tsp a month 😂 my hardest was gluten. After eliminating it and trying it again I had horrible stomach pain, so every time I think about homemade bread I have to have my mantra repeating in my head! 😂

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

@nataliesanders3733 yeah that homemade sourdough was hard for me to give up but Laura helped me with that "I'm Carnivore now and i just don't eat that. " luckily gluten doesn't bother me but it's easy to stop the food noise with more meat and fat. And yes cheese and cream definitely halted my fat losses.

[@nataliesanders3733]

@ I have 1 tbsp of heavy cream in my coffee in the mornings with 2 tsp of Splenda. I have only 4 carbs a day… It’s been 3 months and I just can’t give it up yet.🤦🏼‍♀️ that could be the stall for me…

The ultimate elimination diet is Lion. Laura, have you ever done lion for 30 days? I want to do beast-mode to relinquish cravings and will do lion in January.

[@beth6795]

What is Lion diet?

[@suzannereeves7768]

@ you only eat ruminant meat, ie, beef, lamb. There are a couple of more meats as well. No poultry, fish, pork. Check out the channel “Ketogenic Woman”. She has done over 60 days of lion and has many videos about it. She plans another lion diet challenge starting January 1st.

[@beth6795]

@suzannereeves7768 thank you very much

[@hienchau4865]

Omg Fellow Houstonian here, always got mad our kids never like to eat my three sides dishes of veggies 😝 very funny that the kids are smarter, when my daughter had her tonsil taken out, the dr did an allergy test, find out all the foods she hated she was 100% allergic to them, i told dr that and he simply replied, her Angel watch out for her, wow, hear it again from you tickle me again, I m in keto, can not swallow just meat even tho i had tried , hopefully someday i can complete eliminate veggies to heal, i need to lose 20 lbs to be at optimum BMI

For any of you out there on certain medications, watch out for the "grapefruit" flavored LMNT. You CANNOT have grapefruit on some medications.

[@Carnivore_Christian]

Hi Laura, I had no other idea how to ask a question about your local group. I have signed up, I thought anyway. They have taken $10 out of my account and I have downloaded the app. I can see what you post and others but cannot see videos or comments. Do I now have to do the 3 month coin obligation? I’m really wanting to join this group.

[@LauraSpath]

Log in through the website and it should work easier without all the coins. You can send a support question as well if that doesn't work.

I have been doing carnivore for a month, only a variety of protein and a little bit of cream on my coffe. I keep my records and keep carne very low, between 5 to 12 grams. Why I am not loosing weight???😢

[@therealjenniferrr]

Probably are under eating.

[@canturgan]

What about nuts?

[@Clarabellyha]

They are not carnivore friendly bc they come from plants and “are usually the seeds of trees or legumes.”

[@paulabailey9791]

Carnivore is animals. So anything from an animal would be what you eat. Nuts are from plants and not carnivore.

[@sunflowers6172]

Many people are afraid of Pork and bacon because of the fact that it comes from Pig. Q: what to tell people??

[@BoraSwings]

Do you have maybe an Idea why someone on carnivore can be less on power? Sometimes already from the beginning of the Day, sometimes just after work, eating something and thats it, resting for the Rest of the day with no energy ( Office Job, nothing phisical difficult). Already 3 Month on Carnivore, eating all from hearth to liver, eggs, fish and taking LMNT. Blood values looking good. Do you have maybe any Idea what it can be? Thank you already for any suggestions.

[@laurehancock1334]

Are you eating enough food/calories? Enough fat? Are you getting enough electrolytes/salt?

[@BoraSwings]

@@laurehancock1334 I always eat until I'm full, twice a day. It is always well salted and 10% fat or additional butter. LMNT for electrolytes. I am currently at 115 kg body weight and have lost 12 kg in 10 weeks.

[@BoraSwings]

Maybe it is like a Phase and I have to wait? Or just to try to overeat a little to see how the reaction is. I don't have any Ideas left for that.

[@laurehancock1334]

@@BoraSwings if you have been carnivore for 3 months you should be past any adaptation and being this tired is not normal so if you can’t figure it out you should go to the doctor. It’s possible you have something unrelated to diet going on. If it were me I would throw back 1/2 tsp salt and chug some water and see if I felt better in 20 min is so then it looks like a salt issue. 10% fat is very low I would try bumping that up a lot at least for a couple weeks. I would also keep a food diary and track calories and macros for several weeks. Just cause you are eating twice a day doesn’t mean it’s enough calories. Also I would consider food allergies - even though you are eating healthy food you could still be allergic. Best of luck.

I was on blood pressure meds for over 10+ year's I'm off all meds. Sodium doesn't cause high blood pressure... Check the fact's.

[@karenschmidtke8129]

@@wgterry73ify I was going to say the same thing. Diet is the issue. Being overweight and eating processed carbs. Go Carnivore - take the supplements, start with half a pack if you're worried.

[@gretchenhays3893]

Watch Dr Berry’s videos on blood pressure.

[@therealjenniferrr]

I was low sodium forever and it was actually harming me, causing chronic fatigue/adrenal issues. I feel much better drinking LMNT and using Redmond's Real Salt on my food. Using salt and going carnivore = my bp being more stable than ever. Sodium is really only an issue for most people if they are also sugar/carb eaters.

[@wgterry73ify]

@therealjenniferrr did you know that they have lowered what they consider high blood pressure 3 times since 1970

Laura you r getting heavier . Does the Carnivore diet only work for a limited amount of time than you start gaining your weight back. The Carnivore doet is not keeping you slim
