Started carnivore Feb 15th. A month later I'm eating only when hungry, once or twice a day. No cravings. Drinking alot more water. Body shape is the same but clothes are getting looser. Sadly I'm a qualified personal trainer, and everything I was taught about nutrition seems to have been bullshit. This works. I'm stronger, faster and happier at 39 than I was at 21.

[@_____999_]

I have a doubt suppose I did this diet for 1 month and lost some weight and after breaking the diet will i grow weight because of sudden carbs and fiber

[@carolinemarinaccio4342]

I am watching this video right now eating beef and eggs and crying! 😂😭 I needed to hear this so bad. I was vegetarian for 15 years and when I started to eat meat again I realized that I was hungry for 15 years... it brought me to tears bc I knew I was restricting but I didn't know I was starving... I was literally starving. I was underweight... I am no longer and have gained even a few lbs more. Now I know my body is healing and that's so good to hear. My body was so ill with so many chronic illnesses and I feel so much better eating meat than I ever did as a vegetarian. Thank you for this so sooooo much! 🙏🏼💕

[@denisemccleese3895]

That is so wonderful to hear I was plant-based only one year because I was always hungry

[@jeanIkreum]

How is it going now?

[@lilipop390]

This is by far the most useful carnivore video I ever listen to. I think a lot of beginners like me felt in the weight gain shaming trap. Every new carnivore adept should listen to this. Thank you 🙏 Also, being pure carnivore at the very beginning is being very helpful, and if you need snacks EAT MEAT, juuuust meat!!

[@SteakandButterGal]

Thank you so much! Feel free to share this video!

It's interesting how your switch from vegan to carnivore and having a voracious appetite and renewed vitality mirrors my experience of quitting alcohol early this year. I was drinking 1000-2000 empty calories of alcohol a day while eating only ~900 calories. All that drinking suppressed my appetite as I became more and more malnourished. Similarly with the vegan diet, you end up grazing on foods with very little nutrients and become malnourished easily. I was a vegan for 1.5 years way back when, and eventually started feeling lethargic and fatigued in spite of eating a lot and having gained weight but felt better when I added meat to my diet and even much better when going hypercarnivore. On day 1 of sobriety 28 days ago, my appetite came back with a vengeance! I ended up eating 4000 calories that day and averaging 3500 since then. I've felt super energized since then eating mostly steaks, eggs, yogurt, butter, coconut oil, milk, heavy whipping cream, rice, bacon, and berries. As a hard gainer on a permabulk, I miraculously ended up gaining 10 pounds (mostly water weight and a tiny bit of muscle?) in a little over a week but then plateauing. I've also been making remarkably fast strength and muscle gains from heavy lifting. I'm 38 years old and have never experienced such fast gains! I'm more hypercarnivore than carnivore and eat some basmati rice and berries for my smoothies. If I didn't incorporate some calorie dense high-carb foods, I'd be like 143 lbs instead of ~153 where I've been stuck at for 3 weeks now in spite of eating 3500 calories a day. I think with the strict carnivore diet, it's nearly impossible to be obese if you are at least mildly physically active. Meat--esp red meat--is just nutrient dense, low in calories, and satiating. It's also very energizing to the point where I can't help but to be physically active with all that energy. When I was drinking, I had to forcibly drag my lethargic corpse to the gym. But I now have to be mindful about over training or injuring myself in the gym. Okay I'm honestly mindlessly rambling on here and just felt compelled to share my carnivore experience! I love your channel and find your videos very inspirational and helpful on my journey of optimal health! Pacific NW represent! I'm in beautiful not-so-sunny Portland.

Eager to hear how you went? I find myself in a similar situation. ❤

[@pinky-vu6ss]

I cut out all dairy products and made a difference

[@frostbite21133]

Do not focus on losing weight. Focus on enjoying the food that you're eating. I've been doing carnivore for over 3 months and I didn't really start losing weight until after about a month but I was losing fat and my weight was going up a little bit. Then all of the sudden the weight started going down. But I eat so much food I don't measure how much food I eat. I drink diet sodas all day long. And I do take laxative at night to make sure that my stomach is still flushing out the toxins because carnivore can make you constipated. But other than that enjoy the food. It's only 11:00 in the morning and I've already eaten three times already.

[@tobe2btobe]

Really helpful. I am well into about 6 months of carnivore after being keto for about 1.5 years. I have gained 10 lbs over the past year and my LDL has increased and my main doctor is concerned about this. But my triglycerides have gone down and my HDL has gone up. So I am happy about this result I was able to gradually wean off of 4 diabetic medications including insulin and I lowered my A1c from 12 to 6.1. Even though I am having great results I still find it scary to stay the course because my weight has gone up but I am not going to concern myself with this and just continue carnivore. I sure hope to see my weight gradually decrease again.

[@kingskidgirl2]

THANK YOU!! 1 month in to carnivore, and I couldn't figure out why the scale numbers seemed to be going in the wrong direction! I am now putting that scale away!

[@sophia5122]

Have you lost weight yet? I just stayed and the numbers are going in the wrong direction for me too 🥲

I have the exact opposite problem. I never feel hungry and it is a chore to even eat 1 pound of ground beef.

Me too but have gained a bit of weight also with intermittent fasting 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@wrightohn3]

I'm sitting here, eating, and listening to you and realizing that there's a huge gap between knowing and feeding hunger realities thati have to go through all the years of nonsense I've been living. For example, when I eat eggs, I thought I was doing really good by increasing my normal "two eggs'n toast" to three eggs with beef. But usually, I get hungry sooner on three eggs & beef. I've been doing carnivore for 8 months-ish and now listening to you . . . it finally dawned on me that I should be eating more eggs instead of figuring that eggs just don't last as long. I'm so indoctrinated to calories in/calories out . . . DAMN!!! Just eat MORE. I'm so used to not eating past a certain amount, never mind "hunger". Reality finally dawned.

[@zbawieniejestwieczne9013]

Wow you are truly wise girl my dear to gain weight and NOT give up on carnivore. This was great testimony on how smart human body is in regulating its weight :-). cheers

[@1plus1equals25]

Bella, your videos have been helpful to me I became a carnivore September 2020. I'm 30 years older than you. going carnivore helped me lose weight from the beginning, but hearing you explain eating until one is satiated was super helpful. You are so much smarter than I was at your age! And thank you and SB guy for the lovely lovely music!

[@SteakandButterGal]

Thank you!! I’m so happy you enjoy my content. ❤️

[@jinkums]

You've made me feel so much better about carnivore now. I'm a male and am 5'7 and was originally 145lbs and am now teetering around 161lbs. I feel I am still going to go up a bit more, but now that I know its because my body was malnourished for so long and is healing makes me see the light! I was focused on numbers for so long and even got my weight down to 138 at one time, but looked sick. I had an unhealthy relationship with food 6 or so years ago and was overweight. My journey to shedding weight made it addicting to seeing a lower and lower number every time I got on the scale. Now that its going back up it freaked me out at first and luckily I found this video to calm me down so I didn't start tracking again. I'm only 2 months in to carnivore.

[@brandonmiller6410]

Yo any updates? I’m three months in and up 12lbs, did you stick it out?

[@jinkums]

@@brandonmiller6410 Yes! I'm doing just eggs cooked in butter with bacon and meat. The only thing I change out is what meat I'm eating that day. I either will have ribeye, short ribs, tri tip loins or chucks. I track how much I have now using Carb Manager BUT the big difference between back then and now is I never starve myself or shoot lower on the energy consumption. If I'm hungrier after I finish eating I'll add a bit more steak. On the other end, if I feel stuffed before I finish my food I'll stop eating. I'm more in tune with my body and listen to what it needs vs being stubborn and sticking to a specific number of calories a day.

[@CarnivoreRonin]

That is awesome. Thanks for sharing with people who may be new to the journey and worrying about their appetite and weight. On a side note, Cool Hand Luke is one of my favorite movies. There is a scene revolving around "Nobody can eat 50 eggs." I literally laughed when you said 48 eggs. I was thinking "Whew! I'm glad it wasn't 50!" I love your content! 👍🏻

Hi there! New carnivore here... had been eating meat-heavy for the most part, whole foods only.... but it was really hard breaking away from the growing-up-poor mindset of "stretch the meat" by adding rice or quinoa. Finally went all in on the 1st of February, and the body recomposition has already been insane! I'm excited to see where this goes! Thanks Bella!

Great content! When I switched from a regular diet to a vegan diet I gained 30 pounds. After a year and a half I returned to my normal diet which was basically Weight Watchers. I yo yo’d again as I have for 50 years. Recently I joined my husband on a ketogenic diet and I have lost those pesky last 10 pounds. No measuring, counting or deprivation. My brain has not yet been freed from fear but I am making progress I wish I had found this way of eating on my youth instead of at 65 Thanks for your story

[@Sam_rodrigues23]

I can’t tell how many times I watched this video to remember to trust the process. I gained 7 kilos so far (2 months) and I believe that it’s because of the fact I restricted good fat during my whole life. I feel my body asking for more fat meat exactly like you said. Thank you for this video. Most of the carnivore videos out there are about how people lost weight fast on carnivore, but most of them are from a really bad American diet, so, of course, they will lose weight faster than someone who always ate Whole Foods and now is trying the Carnivore Diet. I’ll keep it up!

To me, the best thing one can do is get one's appetite under control, finally getting in tune with when we're ACTUALLY hungry and not just craving candy (i.e., carbs) for kicks and/or entertainment. It's been my experience that carnivore has been the best aid toward achieving this. Nothing could be more liberating than to no longer have to count calories and to stop eating to the clock. Thanks for these vidz, S&B Gal!

[@desdarde9031]

I really needed this video! Thank you! I'm on my fourth week of carnivore and I made the mistake of going on the scale. I'm devastated of the number I saw. Despite the number I've been feeling great. A lot more energy, I feel stronger and I haven't used any painkillers for more than a week. I've done carnivore just like you; eating as much as I want but I do two meals a day and I just don't feel hunger. There are days tho with more stress that I will snack on cheese and deli meats. But anyway, Thank you so much for this video! I really needed this to keep going on this diet.

I’m 7 days into animal-based eating and I’m 20 weeks pregnant. I totally allowed myself to eat whenever I felt the urge, and it helped me so much to make such a dramatic transition. I have not gained weight, but I find that suddenly my waist is “snatched” above my belly button, where my baby bump is. I’m HOOKED.

[@miriam2909]

One month in and no weight loss. It’s so great to be encouraged like this. I’ll keep going because my IBS IS gone and I definitely feel like my body is changing somehow. Also my skin is changing and I’m thinking this could be a result of better gut health. Noticed it on my left hand and wrist first then my feet😂. The only problem I’m having is that all this meat cooking is driving my dogs crazy😂they want my creamy coffee, to lick the butter off my fingers my eggs and bits of meat off my plate. My first new air fryer arrived today and it made the most amazing rissoles . Thank you Bella.❤

[@miriam2909]

Strangest thing is..I was keto for a few years just before this. So basically it’s just removing the plants from my diet and body. Who’d have guessed

[@stalstonestacy4316]

In the beginning I was the same. Even on SAD I was never afraid of eating fat, especially animal fat such as butter and beef fat. My problem was an abundance of carbohydrates and starches, potatoes, breads, pastas with every meal. At first on Keto, I ate according to what my appetite demanded and just out off curiosity tracked my food and discovered my macros were 90% of calories from fat. After a time began to feel that I wasn't getting adequate protein so I adjusted for that. Now I'm roughly a 1:1 ratio and zero carb and that seems to be my body's happy place

[@tashajohnson4226]

I thank God I don’t have a period anymore as I am 58 about to turn 59. It’s so freeing not to have to deal with my period. Carnivore better not bring my period back lol. It’s a joke I’m menopausal so those days are gone thank God. I have been carnivore around 6 months and I lost 55 lbs. I’m good with two meals a day eating as much meat and fat at each setting. Had I gained weight I definitely would have ran from carnivore because I was already heavy. I’m glad I found your channel because I have been looking for variety with carnivore. This is a lifestyle for me now and I love it. Still waiting for it to heal my blood pressure that’s high. Thanks so much for all your informative information and meal planning.

[@stephikarolyi8706]

I went HCLF and within 6 months of that I ended up painfully craving liver, heavy cream, and blood! That was the strangest bodily feeling I've ever had. I'm of Polish lineage and culturally grew up with a soup called Czernina (Duck Blood Soup- like a sweet-sour brothy blood soup with dried fruits which oddly resemble tiny organs when rehydrated, so peculiar) and I could not stop thinking about the taste of it and just the passing thought of it would make my mouth water so bad. I felt like a hungry vampire🤭! I knew it would not work for me. Luckily, I found carnivore and it turns out that my body is much happier eating animal.

[@amywilhelmi6903]

I have the opposite experience. On carnivore, I'm having a hard time eating enough. I'm simply not hungry anymore. I'm trying. Got hcl and ox bile to help. I'm not sure I'm feeling the healing yet, but I have lost around 12 lbs since the beginning of April. This feels good, though. No blood sugar spikes, no bloating. I'll continue the course.

[@fronniebealer7808]

I am not carnivore, but closer to ketovore. Some days even a bit of onion or cauliflower does not sound good. I am very glad you spoke of deep healing. I realized that some things are getting well that I didn't know needed it.

My husband and I both love to eat, and want to get healthy. We both seem to have only lost a couple pounds though and have eliminated sooo much from our diet. Some days we will gain 2 pounds. I’m worried because I cannot afford to go six months without losing weight. 😢

I'm so glad i found this channel. I'm gaining and i was devastated when i got on the scale last night. In the past i ate whatever i wanted to. This was the full spectrum, from morning cereal, toast with whatever 2 hours later, lunch of some meat and salad, a sandwich mid-afternoon and then supper of meat and loads of vegetables. I thought ivwas eating healthily. I've had high blood pressure, cholesterol, under thyroid and adrenal oroblems for more than 20 years. During Lockdown i weaned myself off all my medication and now only take Pressure-Eeze for my BP. I gave up fizzy drinks in 1979, never fond of fast food, always cooked from scratch, really careful what i ate. Long story, but i cut back to meat only about 2 weeks ago (although i still have one slice of toast with 2 eggs for breakfast). In this time my BP is regularly around 160 over 90 (down from 195 over 110) and i all the other positive signs most people experience - but i have gone from 65 kilos to 71 and this morning i was ready to give up.

I work out 5 days per week, twice a day for 3 of them: M-F - T-Mill, 30 minutes, 6.5 degree incline, 3.0 mph; M-W-F - weight lifting in the afternoon early evening...with all that, waist stays around 36-37" and my weight "hangs" around 223-225 lbs. HELP! I've watched Dr. Baker, you, Lillian...all you guys speak of "meat, eggs" and you and Lillian speak of "butter" along with that. I need some direction.

Do you have any symptoms of over-training? I gained weight on carnivore doing too much hard cardio, and the weight only started to go away once I stopped my cardio sports.

[@nerlyb7032]

Damn exactly my story doing all that and haven’t lost a single pound 😞🥺☹️

[@hollyfernando9759]

The only way I lose fat is by fasting. My metabolism is so broken and I'm a 53 year old female. I have to have a small window of eating one meal a day and then I throw in some 48 or 72 hours fasts when I'm able.

I'm trying to gain weight. I have Celiac Disease. Long story. I've been carnivore for 3 years, coming off vegan diet. Vegan damaged my nervous system causing Ataxia. I'm still recovering but the beef really helps!

[@Strada-Vision]

Appreciate the info. You’re a god sent

[@ladybugblue]

I've listened to the talk on poop a couple times also in the past and that can be helpful,For constipation problems etc. Adding back in a few plants helped but will see for future success. I tread lightly with fats, I can't afford to throw up. Bloating is annoying too.

Love you SBG, Thanks for all you do!

Thank you, Glenn!

[@cammieklund]

Super informative, Bella!!🌺 Yes, please, do a video on what you did to tweak your diet.🤗 How much do you eat now on your omad:s, roughly? Do you experience days when you just want to eat more?🌸

[@SteakandButterGal]

Thank you Cammi! I have noted your request. ❤️

[@UnRefinedTrends]

Very helpful, thanks for sharing! I’d love to hear about the changes you made & your observations after your first! What happened next!

[@heidikatzenbach1493]

I’ve never been a vegan and I haven’t eaten the SAD in decades. I’ve been a healthy whole foods eater. I began KETO a few years ago, so my diet hadn’t changed too much. I didn’t lose anything on KETO. I started carnivore about three months ago and have gained 15 pounds, while I watch family members do the same and lose like crazy. I only eat beef and butter. I’m feeling better but I’m terrified of this weight gain trend I’m going through. My clothes don’t fit. I’m trying to not be discouraged

[@LDJez]

Vegan 15 years. Carnivore 3.5 months and gained 10 lbs. Mental health benefits are great, but I'm going back to counting calories before my weight goes up anymore. I'm not 'trusting the process' I know my body and my weight will just keep going up. No thanks!

Hi Bella, I'm following along with Bart in his 90 day challenge. I haven't had as impressive results with my abs that he has but I had a much larger layer of blob on top of my abs lol. I have still seen some impressive changes though. My skin and hair seem much healthier. My teeth are way cleaner. I don't have scales but my clothes are fitting better which must be a good thing! This week I am working on my sleep as that is something that I always have trouble with. The most amazing thing is that I no longer have cravings for bad things like pizza and chips!!! I used to be able to eat any amount of pizza that was put in front of me and it felt like I had no control over it. I was asked to pick a pizza to take it to a friend's house the other night. I kind of dreaded it because I thought I would give into temptation but I| didn't want any of it at all. It didn't require will power becuase I didn't want it. Amazing!! I also went out for tea the other night and I ordered a mixed grill. I was more than happy to eat just the meat. I even picked up a chip and smelled it just to make sure I didn't want it. It didn't even smell good to me anymore. I have tried carnivore before and always failed. Priming seems to be the trick that works!!!

[@eetadakimasu]

Amazing! Thank you! So sad that we aren't told how deprived we will be on a veg only diet!

[@meenarose1060]

I absolutely needed this video today! Today marks my 1st month on carnivore. I have completely killed my carb addiction. I think my background of chronic undereating has been getting in the way of properly nourishing my body. I was thinking I should include intermittent fasting but now I feel I actually need more food!

[@honeybee5302]

Thanks for doing this video! I really needed to hear it. I would love to hear more videos on this topic.

[@ytrgacc1976]

Inspiring! I needed this. I eat a lot. I kind of went more carnivore. I get sometimes around 1kg or more a day. For a while I stopped with butter because of bad stool. But it feels like my body can handle butter now much better. Very interesting. I was adding it again because of trying to get better sleep..

[@enough-is-enough-is-enough]

THANK YOU! Love this channel!!

[@filipparma8718]

I am so relieved. I wasn't sure why i was turning into a werewolf. The voracious appetite is almost scary. At the supermarket my brain cells go on fire when I get close to the butcher stall. My gaze is held totally captive by the displays. It was quite disconcerting almost disturbing. I have never been a foody person at all. My carnivore journey is really changing my attitude to food. I feel happier and free to eat. Now is an enjoyable experience. Never felt like this before. I suffered most of my life with IBS. Bloating, painful discomfort, smelly farts. I had it all. How many nights I sat on the toilet bent in two hating food. It's all gone. I can relax and eat without the fear.. .......I am ecstatic.

[@tamcsilva]

I have oxalate issues, or toxicity. So I'm ketovore for now because if I don't eat any oxalates, I get headaches due to oxalate dumping. I wish I knew how long it will take before I can go completely carnivore. I've been ketovore for two months now. I don't concern myself with calories, I just work on monitoring my carb intake, and keeping my protein and fat ratio as close to 1:1 as possible. I have always had texture issues with food, so I can't eat hunks of beef fat. So I'm using butter to help get my fat. I do not have a ravenous appetite. I have seen videos with people eating 10 beef patties or more, and I can only eat two. There is no way I could do OMAD. I eat minimum two meals a day, sometimes three times. When I feel like snacking, I will drink tea with a tbsp of heavy cream to help me not snack. I will try the hardboiled eggs trick to see if it's actual hunger or bored eating. I have been following intermittent fasting 8/16. If I'm super hungry I will eat before my 16 hour fasting period is up. Thanks for the info. I got some tips to try.

[@ameliahiggins4547]

You should try cooking your steak and letting it cool and put it in the refrigerator eat it cold

[@tamcsilva]

@@ameliahiggins4547 for what reason?

[@ameliahiggins4547]

I like the texture better

[@maijesus371]

Hi!! I’m on keto now but will move more into carnivore and then make it a new diet challenge to maintain for the new year, thanks for sharing ❤

[@brandinshaeffer8970]

My appetite and hunger dropped my first few weeks on carnivore. But I had already been eating paleo so I was already getting a good amount of nutrition through meat :)

[@Attmay]

I have the opposite problem as you do when it comes to eating. I have to force myself to eat enough calories a day every day because some days I just don’t want that much food. I’m also an eating disorder survivor, so that plays into it because that’s yet another thing my body is recovering from.

[@AnnabellaRedwood]

I really feel for you. I know what it's like to find it difficult to eat. Carnivore has saved my life from anorexia. It's still hard work to eat. I hope you are in a good place with eating now. ❤💗

[@Shay-wl4lx]

What do I do if I'm just not hungry? Some days I only eat a hamburger patty and a few eggs and I'm not hungry all day. Is that okay?

[@SteakandButterGal]

That’s perfectly fine. Carnivore can be very dense and fatty for a lot of newcomers to adjust to. Eat frequent smaller meals and follow your hunger signals!

[@clairebaker900]

I have the opposite problem of no appetite and feeling a bit sick. It's so weird! x

[@djmazz1100]

Yea yea yea! I may have missed it but has anybody mentioned that her skin couldn’t be more perfect? Yea, she’s about 24 but my God!

[@CourtneyMoose1]

I am going through the weight gain part of this right now, but I feel so much better and my face looks better, not as puffy...I'm not bloated and my sugar cravings are practically gone. No more binge eating.....but I'm gaining weight and its messes with my brain so much to know that I was smaller when I was binge eating......so weird

[@tinapratt50]

Thank you for this video, I share your thoughts about focus on the health changes, and feed your body to help it heal!

[@SanMiguelBulls]

Thank you, I was worrying for a while, gained weight second week into it…but you are correct I probably wrecked my hormones…

If you're just doing carnivore then you have it half right. The other half is prolonged fasting (at least 48 hours) and refeed on a small carnivore meal. I only eat on Wednesday and Saturday. Wednesday's refeed is a can of chicken breast. If I meet Saturday's goal weight of at least 1 pound less than last weeks weight, I get a big 20oz steak at a steakhouse or a 1 pound whole pack of thick cut bacon as a reward. I drink salt/electrolyte water throughout the day. You save so much money doing this! Fasting is a skill and it's tough at first but then you git gud. The snake juice helps tremendously! Look it up. It's cheap and easy to make. When I was obese, I fasted down to normal BMI range in a month. Yes, 31 days without food. The bigger you are, the longer you can fast because you're eating your body fat, which is what its purpose is. Oh and if you're getting constipated then it means you're eating too much, simple as that.

[@williammclean6594]

You only eat 2 days a week it's not a special diet then you're just losing weight because you're hardly eating anything

[@Shahrazad777]

Thank you ! That was useful.

[@user-ez9uq1ve6w]

Thank you for the advice. I started my weight loss journey with keto and then gradually started carnivore but I got sick and stopped for 4 days and could not eat any meat or animal product at that time then got right back to carnivore and now I’m gaining weight after 3 weeks of straight carnivore. Help please. 51 yr old female

[@timsmith3921]

Awesome I love me some Mozart! Thank you and be well.

[@duchessofmeraniamerania4744]

Im on carnivore over a month no weight loss but ny joints feel better, I still dont sleep and my stress level is through the roof from. Im about to give it up🤦🏼‍♀️ I can never eat tons of meat either like people state 3-4 pounds🤷‍♀️maybe its not for me ?

Thanks for this video, Cuz I gain a lot of weight and I am on week 3 now and it is so hard to see the scale just go up 😵‍💫

[@captaincook8283]

This video made me happy lol. It's because of the way you're explaining yourself and having smashed so much food 😆
