Losing 130 Pounds and the Proverbial Wagon

[@shaybee6893]

Kelly, you are precious. Thank you for being so real. I have Lipedema and Lymphedema and I can't find hope. I keep saying why bother when I look this way and can't change it. I need to lose weight badly, I'm riddled with diseases and pain. Lipedema is so ugly and painful. 😢😢😢😢😢

[@kzp5249]

@@shaybee6893hi there , so sorry to hear of your diagnosis and that you feel so discouraged. Please hang in there and take small -baby steps. I pray you receive your breakthrough. I also have lipedema and I am embracing my body and helping it heal one step at a time. I’ve committed to carnivore for 90days as per Dr Ken Berry advise, so far NAFLD is gone, diabetes levels has improved drastically and I’m hoping to see weight loss results as well. Our bodies have a lot of internal healing to process before moving to weight loss which ultimately affects lipedema and lymphedema appearance. Some have seen amazing results with diet and exercise and I am not keen on the surgery until I try all I can natural way. I pray you be healed of your conditions and see the results you so desire, very soon.🙌🏽🌈💜

I’m 86, never too late to learn. Living in a senior apartment, ( not assisted) most people are younger, in terrible condition. My goal is to avoid the “home”. Great video!

[@Helen-nv8el]

I'm 82 and my friends keep asking me why at this age I don't just "eat what I want ?" Like you, I want to remain independent and sprightly for as long as possible.😊

[@user-sy7ck3ln6o]

Yes, "most people" are in terrible condition, and their health is being ruined thanks to the horrific kabuki and lies from Big Pharma, Big Ag, our government lies about what is a PROPER HUMAN DIET IS OR ISNT. Grocry strores are in on it too.. what ever makes them the most money.. I did merchandizing for a few years.. and I watched the "snack/garage" isle grow to the monster it is now.. I can also tell you that EVERYTIME I go shopping.. I purposefull look at watch that isle.. and without fail.. it always has the most traffic over all other isles. The 2nd most traveld area is the Bakery where all the break, cakes, treats are.. IT'S AMAZING.. We dont need flours or grains of any type, shape or form, and we definitely dont need sugar and high carb foods. Personally... I think Dr. Chaffee is correct about plant toxins as well. so..Enjoy a good steak ... everyday... is my motto.

[@laurieduncan6096]

Really proud of you! I work in healthcare and I see so many people that are my age (55) and younger with deplorable health. I know it’s because of what they eat, drink, smoke, and sedentary lifestyle. People can’t believe I am the age I am. Trying to avoid terrible health and maintain quality of life while avoiding the “home” in the future myself.

You go girl! I'm 76 and have been ketovore for 10 months. It works!!

Thanks, Kelly. I’ve been hanging off the wagon for about 6 mos. I had a very sad, life altering event and have re gained a few lbs, and seen some previously positively changed health problems activate again. I needed this! ❤

[@rlane1lsu]

Scoffing! I have even said “if an alcoholic told you that they don’t drink anymore would you scoff or roll your eyes at them? Sugar is a drug like alcohol.” Not in a rude way, just in a matter of fact way. People need to do a mindshift on sugar and carbs.

[@erinruddell198]

I love this! I’m going to adopt this too!🎉🎉

[@allanhamilton17]

Thanks Kelly! I really needed this today. Got off of sugar 5 years ago, lost 90 lbs. Quit smoking 7 months ago and started eating sugar free Keto treats. Now 35 lbs gained I realize maybe I'm not addicted to just sugar but the sweet taste. Whether its sugar, sugar alcohol, monkfruit, stevia, allulose, etc doesn't matter. So my name is Allan, I'm a sweet addict and this is my day 0, starting again. I'm choosing to eat nutritious meat today and move my body.

[@karenelizabeth9496]

Has anyone with high blood pressure noticed that if they eat a lot more fat blood pressure will go up? I was eating moderate amount of fat on my meat and I think I was probably fine with that. I think the problem may stem from the salt and I do use Redmond's. I believe I'm just sensitive. I've started again, cut back on my salt and more fat with my meat and so far so good. Can anyone relate ?

[@Jacquie_Kirk_111]

As a child I had boils on my gums and eczema covering my body. I was in the Children's hospital and no one could figure it out. As an adult I had cystic acne, on Accutane 2x, Alopecia Aereata, Vitiligo and migraines. It was ALL from my diet. I just started Carnivore and all problems are healed now. This video is so inspiring!

I am a total Food addict and have lost 37lbs from Carnivore diet since February 1st. I no longer have sugar cravings!

[@meatdog]

I'm 553 days carnivore/Lion and I still get cravings for certain sweets. I've always preferred salty crunchy stuff but I get lots of salt so never crave that. I fibd the sugar craving to be strange and very hard to fight through. I do not use stevia or any other "non sugar" product and NEVER anything ending in "LOSE". I just find it very odd because I never craved sweets in the first place. I stay the course, have lost my 110 pounds I needed to shed and feel awsome bring carnivore.

[@AntaresSelket]

I started the carnivore diet due to diabetes, kidney failure, and a host of other health problems, but I live with two family members that also had health issues and one of them was a major sugar addict. We decided as a household to start the diet together and that began with throwing out all carbs and sugar ingredients (all unopened packages were donated to a local community group). With only the carnivore foods in the household it was easier, but still difficult to stay away from sugar. At first every commercial on tv reminded us of what we use to eat, but now I see all of that as killer foods. What I was eating was killing me slowly. We don't eat out, we go home to eat to stay away from temptation, and as I dropped weight and reversed the diabetes and kidney failure, I told myself over and over that I was not only healing, but saving my own life. I was doing that, not medication, not a transplant, not another person was saving my life, "I" was the one who was saving my life by fighting the urge to do the easy thing and eat the foods that are not only addictive, but cause cravings, and lead to major health problems. The sugar addict in the family is having a more difficult time, but she says it's so much easier to know there's nothing in the pantry or refrigerator to quickly grab. We threw out the sugar and carbs and we cook loads of meat ahead of time so we can have plenty of food and a variety on hand for meals. We also thought that we couldn't afford the carnivore diet, but once you stop buying carbs, sugar, and sauces with sugar we found that we now spend less on groceries. We only drink water and coffee, and we just hit our first year anniversary on the carnivore diet. We all dropped weight and reversed medical issues, while discovering that skin problems and irritable bowel syndrome was flaring up from sugar, carbs, fruit, and vegetables. We eat the carnivore diet but I don't think of it as a diet, I think of it as a life change. I had to make the choice to change my life and stop killing myself slowly.

I looked at the vegetables and fruit, and cookies and readymade meals and inwardly said “Christine, you know this is poisonous to you! You know they make you physically sick! Remember the hours of pain on the toilet… you must get a grip at 58 - this is your chance to lose weight, lose the pain and lose the guilt…. “ Ive spent the last two weeks studying you and others and so here I am…. I’m determined to get healthier and although I understand this might be tough, I’m going to do it for the long haul! Thank you for encouraging us!

"Everyone is not doing it." - that really resonates with me. There are 3 slim ladies in a club I'm in and the rest are mildly to outright overweight. Guess what the 3 slim ones have in common? They don't eat the desserts that are put out at the club meetings. They don't talk about it in front of the others, but, in private, they have told me they avoid sugar. If you see someone who is middle aged and slim, there's a good chance they purposefully avoid processed food and sugar!

[@cintikevin1]

I'm a 62 yr old male and I am a sugar/carb addict. I've been full carnivore for 8 weeks now but before that, I was a fairly low carb, keto guy. But until I went FULL carnivore, I didn't realize the freedom that you get from your cravings. It not just the "no cravings." It's the FREEDOM from them! Don't just think of it as just carnivore. Think of it as freedom from cravings. You will have the power, you will be in control. Keto was good to me. I lost almost 60 lbs. doing keto. But I would put back on 10, then 15, then 20 lbs. Then lose it again, up and down, over and over. Going carnivore allows you to control your sugar/carb addiction. I work for a national overnight delivery company. I deliver to all kinds of medical offices, Urgent Care's, pharmacies. THEY ARE PACKED every day. Keep CHOOSING your food choices. Carnivore is worth it. Our health is priceless. Kelly you "human" aspect spins that you give us are right on point. We are human. We do fail sometimes. Just get back up and OWN YOUR WAGON! Love your videos! Keep em coming!

[@kristin4840]

As a mother of a severe drug addict, I have learned so much on this journey with him. I do not have an addictive personality but have learned to empathize with those that do. I do not think food addiction is treated seriously enough. People think they just need more willpower etc. I honestly think some people need to spend time in addiction groups or go to rehab in order to understand and overcome their addiction to food and view it as a drug addict would. It can be as serious and overwhelming. An addict is an addict, whether it’s weed, heroin, food, pornography. Stop feeling guilty and shameful and out of control and get some help.

[@w1975b]

I understand what you're saying, but people as a whole need to stop calling plants food. And the plants are what most people have problems with being addicted to (think chips, crackers, bread, pastries, cookies, pasta - mostly grains and sugar from sugar beets or sugar cane). The only animal product that contains any amount of sugar is dairy (milk mainly). Butter, cheese don't contain much. So everyone needs to agree on the definition of food and stop calling things food which aren't. They are at best edible products, that won't unalive you immediately. Regular ice cream is a combination of what some could consider real food (milk - some people don't have health issues from consuming it, others do) and sugar, flavorings from plants if not artificial. My point with the previous sentence is pointing out that people are mostly addicted to plants (and for those of us who know, not real food).

[@ilenehanson3927]

In my opinion this is your BEST video !!! I'm a relatively new Carnivore follower(nearly 6 months). My "WHY" is to rid my body of a huge amount of inflamation in my 82!!! year old body.

Kelly is the beacon of light that brought me safely to the harbour of Carnivore. I was lost in the darkness and torment of metabolic syndrome. I was a 57 year old heart attack waiting to happen. Then I saw her with Dr Berry, "Woman Eats Only Meat For 13 Years". My life has gone from Hell to Hope. No more T2D, weight gone from 293lbs to 200lbs, waist from 44 to 38, triglyceride smashed from dangerously high to low. One frustrating side show is that the money minded mainstream medical industry seems less than delighted. My "cholesterol" is high. The drug pushers tried to sell me statins! The reverse psychology says that as Carnivores our "cholesterol" has returned to a healthy level. The carb munchers and statin users have artificially low levels. So thank you Kelly Hogan, ❤ you for the rest of my time on earth. Thank you Dr Berry and a very special thank you to Dr Benjamin Dunlap who saved Kelly's life 🙏

Hello, I'm a 50-year young perimenipause woman who's in remission from chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was on a weekly biologic injectible medication "Enbrel," with other prescriptions like Celebrex, Methotrexate, Tramadol & Prednisone at times that made my immune system sick and my body obese & weak starting at the age of 27. I started eating a ketogenic lifestyle in September 2019, and I'm mainly carnivore "Ketovore" now. This way of eating is the only thing that has helped my weight loss of 60 lbs, severe pain, inflammation, and other metobolic health conditions. Also, I started implementing lifting heavy weights, strength training & balance exercises 4 times a week last April. It has been a new life for me! You can seek your true health every day, starting with what you eat/drink & don't eat/drink. Peace & Health, Christine Peters

Hi Kelly! You’re the first person (YT channel) I gravitated toward on this journey. I love your videos! I developed costochondritis last October and it took me a month to figure out what it was. I had been coughing for a few weeks when it started. I’m a dental hygienist (almost 30 yrs) and discovered it started in my upper back since my muscles were full of adhesions from my career. I used a back pod to help, but it never really went away and got worse when I ate high inflammatory foods! I thought I was having a heart attack! Then I couldn’t hardly breathe and I even thought I might have some sort of cancer, even though it had begun abruptly. I did a 3 day water fast and afterward I omitted the sugar foods, opting for fattier meats (which I love anyway) and some veggies and it went away. Alleluia! I’m down 8 pounds in a week and feeling so much better! Only 60 to go 😁

I needed this today. Last night I ate a meal from Popeyes. I decided to take a picture of the receipt to remind me of how shameful I felt so I wouldn’t do it again. Then it hit me! Why would I want to purposely shame myself? The food itself was not shameful. It was just food. I am not a good or bad person depending on what I eat. I am the worst about want ing food I “can’t have”. But I realized I can have any of it. It isn’t good or bad. It’s just a choice that will take me where I want to go- or keep me where I am. Thanks so much for this!

That’s ok… tomorrow is another day, right? Don’t beat yourself up over making a mistake along your way of adopting/following a Proper Human Diet (which for me is Ketovore, 95% carnivore). Cutting out all sweet tastes in your diet is something that really helped Kelly (and me!) on our health journey. If you are like me and Kelly, we can not moderate sugar, carbs and anything that tastes sweet (like diet sodas, artificial sweeteners, etc) and have to completely abstain from these sweet tasting things or we will fail. If you are also a sugar/carb addict like me and Kelly, and you can’t moderate, then PRO-ACTIVELY CHOOSING to abstain from eating or drinking these things that will only end up sabotaging your efforts and ultimately negatively affect your short and long term health and well being. YOU ARE THE DRIVER OF YOUR OWN WAGON!! WE ARE NOT VICTIMS, WE ARE CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I highly recommend you watch another great KZbin channel called “imperfect carnivore UK”. Her channel is dedicated to people like us who are not perfect and sometimes fall off the carnivore or ketovore wagon and want a safe place where they are not judged as being less than perfect in the way they do these Proper Human Diet lifestyles. I hope this helps you and for God’s sake… please put down that cake and (as Kelly used to do), throw it in the trash and cover it liberally with dish soap!! 😊😊🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🐮🐑🥓🐷🍤🐠🌹

[@mellocat932]

Making gradual conscious changes and having systems in place to support you work better than vague goals . 1.Start by not going grocery shopping on an empty stomach (for me that's a must). 2.Reframe what sugar is , think of it as poison in your body. 3.If you're in a situation where you have meals with family focus on eating protein first. For me I started eliminating sugary sodas and replacing them with carbonated water. Not having trigger foods in the house if you can avoid buying them at all. Potato chips and junk food in general I can't buy them because I know I won't stop at just one. I try to follow a keto diet, combined with intermittent fasting which for me is not eating after 8 pm. Trial and error figure out what works for you . I started 7 months ago , I've been a sugar addict my entire life so I'm not going to lie and say it was easy.I still struggle with making better food choices and I still let go of the reigns sometimes however I try to get a hold of them before the wagon careens over the cliff. There's a saying "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You're going to get there just remember it's a life long journey, you got this 😊

[@OrthodoxInquirer]

My trick is eating a bite of salted butter straight when I have a craving. It really helps overcome the sugar addiction.

[@michellemybelle7768]

Same- I had an acute construction accident but started inflammation in that cartilage and back then my diet was garbage & I had no idea what was happening or how to stop it. Doctors were WORTHLESS. I thought it was a heart attack.

[@thefilersjourney]

You just described me. I'm struggling with life right now and have started emotional binging again. The stress of something going on in our life right now has me out of control. I keep telling myself I restart today, then I fail. I fell off three weeks ago because we were in the hospital for my husband's emergency procedure. Now we are in recovery mode. I am a stress/emotional eater and sugar addict. I needed this reminder.

[@heidisamuel3524]

Thank you. I need to own my wagon. I need to choose the right and own it. I really needed this today because I crashed my own wagon the other day and have been in the carb ditch wallowing. I repent. I choose to own it and I choose to make better choices for health and emotional health. Thank you Kelly

[@fulloideas]

I also attributed my sugar to addiction.. I hear people say their cravings are gone after a week or a month.. mine never left.. until now over a year later. I came across a lady named Julia Ross. She learned that addiction can be cured by replacing amino acids we are deficient in. I'm trying it for about a month now and a long with a whole list of other benefits, my cravings are not overpowering now. I thought about your channel. I wanted to share this with you because I've never heard anyone on your show mention it. I think they are just as unaware as I was. I hope this helps people.

[@librarianlovesrick]

1998, I bought about 15 clearance boxes of Rice Crispy Treats. I was in my 20s, my daughter was summer vacationing with my parents and I was at home alone after work. I opened one treat and ate it. After that, I went through BOX after BOX and I literally could NOT STOP. It is an event I will never forget. I must have eaten at least 50 rice crispy treats

[@laurahicks3603]

I have had costochondritis. It feels like you've been folded in half. I also have had sacroiliitis, inflammation of the cartilage between your spine and your pelvis, it is not fun either! Once I reduced the carbs, all of the inflammation in my cartilage went away. I do sometimes make terrible choices, but every day that I don't make bad choices, I am proud of myself. Days that I make bad choices, I try really hard to forgive myself and let myself start again RIGHT NOW. Not tomorrow morning, not later today, NOW. It's hard, but so totally worth it. You don't have to be 'perfect' to feel better. The closer to 'perfection' you are, the better you feel!

[@Dakiniwoman]

Kelly Hogan... I love you so much!.... Over five and a half years ago I saw your Interview with Bio Hacker.... You changed my life in that moment... I started Carnivore in October of 2018, and have had so many health benefits, I could write a book about my own results... BUT... my carb addiction tripped me up over and over... I thought I could have just one lunch at a restaurant and go back to strict Carnivore... but that does not happen... Eating one teaspoon of any carbs, for me, is just like an alcoholic having just one drink... No, it does not work... 95% Carnivore does not work... So... I keep going and keep trying to keep to 100 % Carnivore... and for me, it doesn't even work to add pork, bacon, ham, eggs, cream, cheese, chicken... No I get pain and plugged up ears from those and headaches... If I keep to only beef and lamb and salt I have no pain or headaches, and that is very hard for me to afford on a very limited Senior's pension. I still am Obese Class 2 with needing to lose over 34% of my body weight. Even with weeks of strict Carnivore, I do not lose any weight... It gets very disheartening. One of these days I will write that I have had success on the scale as well as all the other benefits. I refuse to give up... I am worth it!... I am a 55 inch tall 78 year old living on Northern Vancouver Island where a medium size beef rib steak costs $29.00... My food budget is $15.00 per day. I need a Patron... A little addition here: I don't have a normal metabolism. In the past, I went for one full year on eating less than 1000 calories per day. I ate salads, fruit, cottage cheese and meats. After one full year I had lost 30 pounds. Then a death in my family and I ate the same way, but added popcorn with butter and gained it all back within 6 weeks. I have been dieting one way or another for the past 35 years, rarely ever leaving my house as I am so ashamed for people to see how fat I am. Right now I am 25 pounds lighter than I was 35 years ago, but still need to lose 34% of my body weight.

[@celeste-236]

As an older woman, my metabolism slowed down (after menopause) as yours has. So , walking is essential. So is not caring what others think about you. After all your health, and happiness depends on you walking every day, multiple times a day, and eating meat. $15 a day will get you ground beef, I’m guessing 2 lbs. worth. You could eat 1 lb in one day and, the next day with your $15 you could buy eggs and butter and finish that second lb of ground beef with your eggs cooked in butter. The third day buy another 2 lbs of ground beef for more burgers ( remember that Kelly ate mostly hamburgers, initially) and so on… You can do this just: Buy ground beef Eggs and butter Walk every day, several times a day Put your health first, & don’t care what others think. Best wishes for you❤️

[@Dakiniwoman]

@@celeste-236 Thank you for your kind words and advice. I keep re-starting and hope to be able to get it right.

[@robinpalmer5087]

Wow I want to join the group so bad but can't afford it right now. I search for your videos Kelly, also my daughter's name, and I'm doing it. I just adore you and your love of God and keep doing this plzzz!! So far it's been five weeks on carnivore and my hip has stopped hurting and my stomach has stopped cramping!!! Yaeeee 🎉!!!Thank you so much!!! ❤

Keto helped me get rid of sugar in my coffee after 45 years of coffee drinking. Now I use butter and MCT oil in coffee - so good.

[@vickieschulze1120]

Bless you. Only the folks who are 'Just Like You' can understand eating the entire box of a dozen donuts. It is a literal moment when your brain takes over control of all logic and 'self-control'. Only us folks like you understand what FOOD ADDICTION is. Addiction to sweets and carbs, and the health impact that eating these in excess has on our health and lives probably a probably makes this addiction the # 1 health realted killer....

[@DJ-yw3gf]

That was just beautiful. Kelly, I can listen to you for hours. I am saving this one.

[@juliemcfarlane7245]

From one addict to another. . . You can do this! The cravings will go. You may need to avoid birthday party's or some outings til you got this. Just like a drinker avoiding drinking friends or hanging in a pub.

[@michelesteward5170]

I bet you're Dr was so surprised when you came back a year later~i know mine sure was!!!! I went back 6 months after she told me to try keto, and she couldn't believe it!!! Not my results, but that I actually followed her advice😊😊

[@Dorene_Oster]

I kept on falling off the wagon until I realized that I wasn’t eating enough and once I started eating more, I didn’t have the constant cravings. I have been able to stick to the carnivore diet for the past three months after two years of falling off every two weeks. Keep going you will eventually get this right. ❤

[@kristenreed4586]

I love you and your life lessons. You have helped me to get to a new level of health. I was so low on my fat and you are the only person that made it so clear that that was my problem. Hoping to bust through a 2 year plateau.

[@hpb19]

This affirmation can be applied to one's whole life, not just what we choose to eat. Thank you for that. Have a great day, everyone.

[@Papacarnivore15]

You’re so welcome Kelly!! You and your excellent advice, experience and positivity have definitely helped me to… lose 80 lbs (was 300 lbs, now 220 after 14 mos), reverse/cure type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, IBS, acid reflux, headaches, chronic arthritis in my knees and back, fatigue, sleep apnea, brain fog, skin tags gone, depression, anxiety gone… and too much more to list. And also… OFF ALL MEDS!!!😊😊😊 I am happy, healthy and hopeful (The 3 H’s of a Proper Human Diet), my energy levels, mental clarity and focus are off the charts and I simply feel the best I’ve felt since I was in my 20’s (and I’m gonna be 62 in June… WOW!!) Thanks again for all you do Kelly… you are making a REAL difference in so many people’s lives!!! 😊😊🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🐮🐑🥓🐷🍤🐠🌹🌹🌹

[@Melissacee-cr9xr]

If anyone is addicted to sugar, I recommend watching a video from Dr Nicole Labor. She discusses the psychology and brain issues with addiction. I found her 6 months ago when I got sober and went keto. All addictions go to the same part of the brain. Alcohol, carbs, drugs. All the same. Hope it helps someone struggling with sugar addiction or any other addiction 😊

[@dylanfgarrison]

I’m there now. I did over 100 days carnivore… started on 12/7 and made it through Xmas as well as my b-day in Feb. Then in late March I was left alone with my special needs son for a few days while my wife and other child went to FL on spring break. I made it one day before I caved to stress eating. He’s a wonderful little boy but he also had behavior issues that I have a very hard time dealing with. By the time they returned I was eating a pure sugar / junk food diet and I’ve been there nearly a month now. Trying to get back to it today again.

[@HisLovedOne]

This is such a great Idea! "Joy of missing out on pain" perfect! I adopt this. Plus "choosing" consciousness! Perfect! I take that into my life

[@yojnfodlrow]

My mantra is: Sugar will ask for more sugars. Being aware of this will give me a pause and instead of eating something with sugar I’ll choose differently (most of the time). And if I really really really want something sweet I’ll eat a date filled with butter 🧈 = my 90/10 rule and that’s fine for me. 😊 🥩🍳🍗💧

[@deedeeblanscet4433]

I’m a new subscriber but I’ve seen you off and on for the past year. Your personality and relatability is so refreshing and encouraging to me! Zero ego, warm, insightful, fun! I look forward to watching you in the future. ❤

I am also an abstainer . I used to sit in the parking lot and eat an entire bag or 2 of Reese peanut butter cups. 6 weeks carnivore and I have discovered pork belly air fryer bites oh yum!

[@AquaSue]

Yes Kelly, costochondritis is pretty darn painful. I have it now. Three autoimmune diseases are driving me to start carnivore. I love your videos and have learned such great info I think I will have a great start.🥰 Thank you!

[@retirementpirate3665]

I can eat 6 donuts or 0 donuts, nothing in between. I choose 0 donuts. Went from a size 42 inch waist to a 32 inch waist at age 68. Just got back from a cruise and gained no weight. The analogy that I like to use is that I can pull my own red wagon or I can ride in a wagon that someone else is pulling. I choose to pull my own wagon.

[@PonderosaPea]

Love the wagon analogy. I’ve never thought about I was driving the wagon! Game changer! Thanks Kelly ❤

[@David_Watts]

At of all the KZbin influencers on carnivore, I ALWAYS seem to gravitate back to your channel in particular. I believe it's because of your realistic confidence that is so relatable. I really appreciate that in you and your channel. Thank you for your content and information. So very helpful !! 🙏🙏 It always has something I can use...👍👍

[@debbiejamison101]

Kelly, I LOVE that you say the same things over and over! It helps me memorize them and repeat them to myself throughout the day. You are my go-to channel when I need inspiration; thank you!

[@ritablock2515]

I HOPE that THIS impactful message is the one that stays with me!! Fellow food addict here who has hated herself through too many bad eating decisions to count. Hearing more of the specific details offered in the video and the comments has resonated today. I mean I’m emotional right now -tearful. I have the education-a masters degree in health for crying out loud!! And a history of turning my health around (30 years ago) by eliminating all sugar, starch, grains…..I truly know better. After listening to such a compassionate message, I see that I must not allow myself the alternative options out there even if they are keto and carnivore-no “chips” or protein cookies offered by KZbinrs who have great intentions-it’s on me to realize that I need to keep it simple and trust that meat alone is my answer. Thank you Kelly-a million times over. Wow. You really got to me.

[@tiffanyparacuelles1768]

“ I could have that…but I chose not to. “ Yes! That statement is so freeing. Thank you

If someone is keeping felling out from the wagon , I suggest to check if the have any traumas that need to take care . I was not able to take care of my self , I always sabotage my self every time that I was doing well on a diet . Now that I’m in therapy I’m able to follow this way of eating with 0 cravings. ❤

[@jessicatoronto]

Great video! It's taken me a long time to realize how much I deserve to choose and be in control of my own life, and that I CAN control my future.

[@tanyaboshoff8361]

To carry on with carnivore takes a lot of guts. I’ve fallen off the wagon a few times and picked upped all of the weight and more. I get so upset with myself because I feel so good on carnivore. Back on the wagon now for 3 months but I am going to visit my daughter in the Netherlands and she wants me to try all the goodie foods (syrup waffles etc) and it is her birthday she is so diciplined with food and sugar. Also there is not much meat to eat because it is so expensive. I am going for a week and I am praying that i can withstand all the sugar and carbs😢 it is really stressful for me because I am a sugar and carb addict… a huge one!

[@rachaelmilne5574]

Exactly what I needed today Kelly! Thank you! I am currently suffering from my choices, and feeling pretty awful physically and mentally 😢 you have such a great way of putting things into perspective and reminding us of the hope we do have and the way we can choose to look at things in such a positive light instead of self pity and defeat. ❤

[@KeishaKiger]

I was out for surgery for having a hysterectomy and have been carnivore for over a year with hardly any slip ups at all and I guess it’s the surgery environment that I’m in right now and I just went on a full binge and I’m listening to your video and it actually puts things in her respective. I lose everything with wild abandonment and feel like something happening to me when I’m binge, but putting in it in a different perspective where I’m choosing this.

[@lisad9376]

Kelly, you always come out and say the things I need to hear at the perfect time! I have had three weeks solid, no cheats. I broke my weight loss plateau. Thank you ❤

[@user-dk2ks7tf8j]

My worst thing is I’m hooked on this hot chocolate protein shake that has 5 carbs a scoop. I only drink it to replace a meal and only once every other day.😊

[@hollybishop484]

I struggled with my coffee and the creamer. Not cream, but creamer. So I switched over to LMNT chocolate salt and drink that in the morning instead of my coffee. It's the ritual I enjoy more than anything, and the chocolate is a perfect replacement!

[@CarnivoreNana]

@Holly hmmm...I might have to look into that. I'm struggling with the creamer and steak sauce. The last too. And have been in a stall infact I've put weight on. Yet I'm only eating beef eggs and bacon. 😢😢😢can't lose.

[@nanaobx]

​@@CarnivoreNanaI'm a Nana too! Day 34 of carnivore. Taking it day by day. Try covering your steak in butter instead of steak sauce. It's delicious! I keep softened butter on my counter in a butter dish. I usually use about a tbsp of butter on my steak, or pork chop, or burger patty, or venison steak. As to coffee, I use the heavy whipping cream and froth it up with one of those small battery operated mixers and then add my coffee in...as well as a pinch of salt, a dash of salted caramel sugar-free coffee syrup and then mix. It's delicious. I may, at some point, have to give coffee up if I get in a bad stall. Time will tell. But I drink a full bottle of water in the morning before coffee. I'm also trying to drink my electrolytes during the day and more water. Keep going! Stay consistent. It will happen.

[@pamelachappell1089]

Kelly, I love this and needed it so much! I have learned to change my mindset and the words I use towards working out, and I now 'get to work out", rather than 'have to'. I have got to reprogram my brain to do the same thing for my way of eating. I do great for a while, and then one poor choice leads to MANY poor choices. Thank you for this video.

AWESOME video, so what i needed today... Life is choices and the right choices empower Mentally , Physically, Spiritually and with Family... My addiction to carbs was in a way suicidal and depressing... Thank you Kelly!!!!

[@OakwiseBecoming]

For the people struggling to stick with it: I could not do it strict like these YTers cold Turkey right out of the gate. For me, it’s been much better to do it gradually. Substitute white rice for pasta and find a clean bread without seed oils and have it only sparingly. My husband and I are doing usually two carnivore meals per day and carbs in the form of rice with one meal. I think Dr Saladino and Dr Salisbury (over 100 years ago) are correct that vegetables are toxic but fruit is good. So we are doing raw milk and fruit. Dr Salisbury said make meat 80% of your diet with a slice of bread (which would have been very different in the 1800s!) and some fruit. Dr Salisbury said “vegetables only as a relish” (meaning seasoning!). This is working for me and keeping me from reverting to junk. And as time goes on (and we get more grocery budget!) we may keep whittling it down more and more in the direction of carnivore.

[@diane8168]

I love you Kelly 😊🥰 This one really hit home with me. I have been struggling my WHOLE freaking life it seems. I'm 53 and I have been on one hell of a Rollercoaster.

[@ashleyprysko5755]

Great timing. I've been keto then carnivore for just over two months. I had a gallbladder attack a few days ago, and it made me scared of fat, so I switched to eating just lean protein. Little fat, low carb. I was eating shrimp, fat free Greek yogurt, chicken breast, skim milk, etc. this was of course very unsatisfying, and I started to eat some carbs, and then had a little sugar binge one night. I've felt so frustrated and discouraged, but today I'm back to eating carnivore, although I'm going slow with the fat for now, as far as consuming the extra butter, heavy cream etc. So far, no extra pain today. Went for a 4km walk. Drinking electrolytes, and feeling much more hopeful now! I prayed for strength and encouragement so I thank the Lord for your video today.

[@CL-he4jz]

are you able to maybe use ox bile/ or apple cider vinegar or digestive enzymes, until the gall bladder settles? I've read several things on Dr Berry, Dr berg etc saying ppl use those 4 a bit, even when they have no gall bladder for eg.

[@megandurnford6043]

The book Rushing women’s syndrome taught me the importance of replacing ‘I have to do’ whatever it is with ‘I get to do…’ whatever it is. Same type of process as I choose to do this - it puts you back in control. I get to walk the dog - it is a privilege, like most things in my life. This mindset shift is so positive and empowering!

[@soulbasskenny]

I recently added in some citrus fruit like sweet oranges and grapefruit. A day or two later, I started getting the old familiar sweet cravings and constant thoughts about food. Then, after indulging, my wakeup call was some terrific gout pain in my left toe. Almost 2 weeks worth. Then I remembered a quote from Kelly I have in my journal: she skips all sweet tasted so that she can maintain freedom from sugar addiction.

[@LivingInPhoenixWestValley]

This message is so good! I'm going to watch it again tomorrow and the next day and the next day.....owning up to our choices is so important. I heard on a podcast yesterday the statement "Intentionally focus your mind on what you will gain and not what you'll be giving up" and this is right in line with what you are saying....you get to choose a juicy ribeye. I do love a juicy fatty medium rare ribeye🤤! And I am becoming addicted to ordering fly dutchman at In and Out 😉. I would much rather have a burger patty than ice cream any day!

I have to say, the biggest success factor (at least for me) is to keep coming to Kelly’s group zoom and listening and hearing the struggles of others and wins of others who have been in the same spot. Kelly has really helped me so much with her positive way of looking at the problems and how to overcome them! THANK YOU KELLY! You are truly a life-saver! Keep doing these videos.

I love this! I say this all the time! I CHOOSE to eat foods that fuel my body! I CHOOSE not to eat food that poisons my body! I have been saying for years, starting when my mom told me I couldn't eat something because I was on a diet. I told her, "I can eat that, but I CHOOSE not to eat it!"
