*I lost 120 pounds in 2018 on a Carnivore Diet, I maintained that in 2019. In 2020 I struggled with some weight gain and then lost it again in 2021. For the last few years I have been maintaining a healthy weight. In December 2022 I had skin removal surgery (tummy tuck). This channel just documents all of that journey and how our family lives normal lives and eats a meat based diet.

Hi Laura What happened to your podcast with Judy, CUTTING AGAINST THE GRAINS? It just stopped on the platform I'm listening on, without any warning that it's coming to an end. I really miss it. Hope you both are well...

Ive been eating carnivore for three years now. My wife died ten years ago from rare complications of the complications of diabetes. I wish I could go back and get her on this diet. I didn't have any of the health issues that gets a lot of people onto this diet, but I didn't want to end up like my wife did. I've never felt better in my life! I do occasionally eat carbs, vegetables, fruit, even candy, but only on special occasions with my family where I don't want to make a scene. I only eat a little bit and it's only a couple of times a year. But I can sure feel it after I do. My wife raised dogs and learned that small poops were a sign of good nutrition.

[@erniem7311]

I lost 87 lbs and reversed diabetes after 5 years on this diet. I wish I could get my wife on this diet also but unfortunately she has to want to do it. It is so frustrating to see how simple this diet is for health and not be able to convince others even showing them in person.

We also bought a half a side of beef, so we have plenty of choices of cuts of beef. I’m getting my labs done soon, so I’m hoping no more metabolic syndrome!

Try to increase your meat intake slowly. Try different meats. I actually respond best to pork. I didn't like butter that much but after a few weeks, I was fine with it. She is not wrong about the health benefits. It helps almost all health problems. I noticed a difference in my joints in just a week. I was more mobile.

I’ve been exactly the same with fruit. My binge eating fruit didn’t start until I was post menopausal, but I really didn’t recognise myself. I could eat 10 bananas, a bag of oranges and a bag of apples ( about 5 or 6of each per bag) within an hour. Dr was useless-‘Oh but fruit is healthy, that’s good’ I was told 🤦🏼‍♀️I’m now pretty much ketovore. I couldn’t even eat dairy at 1st without being triggered. As my weight has dropped off I’m now more insulin sensitivity I can have some Greek yogurt. It’s frustrating how little the medical profession know or support people to help themselves.

I'm a healthcare provider who studied nutrition at Cornell and food is my favorite medicine for patients. I have to write this for my lawyer's peace of mind: this information is my personal opinion and observation and should not be used as nutritional advice if you haven't seen me in clinic. Carnivore diet is great for carb addicts and there are plenty of us, myself included. I recommend a 3-month strict carnivore diet to patients with autoimmune disorders and neurological disorders, including mental health struggles. I'm more cautious with it with my patients who have cardiovascular problems. The studies show carnivore short-term is very beneficial to get rid of inflammation, however long-tern carnivore does not show favorable results as many people tend to pass away earlier on carnivore. The only diet that had consistently great results when it comes to longevity in multiple studies was cutting your normal portions in half for each meal forever. I have seen patients reverse chronic diseases with low carb Mediterranean diet (similar to carnivore, but with healthy oils like whole avocados and cold-pressed olive oil, as well as organic veggies, and some organic berries (mainly blueberries), no sugars, grains, or starches. I usually recommend trying out a diet for 3 weeks and see if it feels good, especially after the carb cravings subside (those can be very strong). Physical activity also plays a huge role no matter the diet. Walking, swimming, tennis, aerobics, gym, dancing, pilates, yoga, stretching, etc. If you eat healthy and enjoy a physical activity of your choice, you'll be unstoppable! I wish everyone a beautiful, healthy, long and fulfilling life!

My family thinks I'm crazy because I cut out most veggies except onions and garlic. Those don't bother me, but other vegetables wreak havoc on my gut. Who knew that from eating all these "healthy" foods, I was just keeping myself sick?! I feel so much better now. I am not much into fruit, but the other day I bought some Rainier Cherries (my fave and can only get them in summertime), had a few and they were delicious. I have no problem moderating fruit or sweets, but rice and potatoes... forget about it. Will I never eat potatoes again? Probably not, but it certainly won't be on a regular basis because I feel too good without them. Keep up your journey Laura, and thanks for the informative video. Take care!

Makes sense. I feel like I caught something on my own real early and stopped just in time. Lots of drinking for multiple decades. Kept getting fat with less energy. Not even enough energy to take out the trash for the week at some points. Way too much doordash. Bought a blood pressure machine, but never used it until things started getting "weird". Got bad edema on the feet, blurred vision, and a strange rash growing on the backs of the hand. Had some heart/gut burn as if my stomach was begging me not to force the 8th pint of beer into my body for the day. So I plugged in the BP machine one evening. It was high af. Scared me straight. Lost my appetite for a couple days actually so it was easy to get a jump on the new diet. Had to fix things in stages. No beer obviously, but had to repair the gut and get the bile production up again to break down food better and start helping get fat out of the liver. Kept things simple. Sirloin steak packs, burger, chicken breast, but I opted for low/no oxalate fruits and vegetables as oxalates (kale, spinach, seed foods) kill kidneys over time. Had to get the digestive system cleaned out to start over. Potassium. Potassium stimulates the nerves in the bowels to make sure things move along whether they want to or not. Coconut water and fresh pineapple chunks to snack on each day covers that. Once I started experiencing perfect torpedos again I knew I was on the right track. BP has dropped down to normal and flirts with elevated, but I will take that. No doordash has saved me a ton on food as well. I was either on my way to diabetes, kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, or all of the above as alcohol does not discriminate which system it destroys. I feel like I got that on the mend now. I have way more energy. Fixed my lawn, dug out concrete embedded posts, replumbed my house and deleted almost all the iron pipe. Yep, been busy!

Humans have no need for carbs. We make glucose. By not buying plants or the plant babies (nuts and fruits) we support animals eating those foods instead. The farmers will let the land be used for cattle instead of trying to sell it to the grocery store. That will allow less or no pesticides to be used and it supports diabetics and allergic people by not giving money to companies that are sabotaging them. Good for you.

I enjoy the diet but I’m not losing weight as quickly as I was hoping to. In fact my weight on the scale fluctuates. Last night I ate two strip loin steaks they were 10 oz. each.and some tsatskiki sauce. Maybe I should cut out all dairy for awhile and see if my knees don’t feel so swollen first thing in the morning? Any help anyone is able to provide I am grateful for. Thank you.

Great presentation...honest and revealing. Thanks for sharing!

I Highly recommend Dr. Elizabeth Bright's books "Good Fat is Good for women" and her more recent book as well !! She's brilliant and shares such incredible information !

It's not the vegetables that did it darln it's the fruits high carbs that you were eating too much, you would be even healthier if you added some balanced meal instead with vegetables and once a week a bit of fruit from low sugar sources, heck even high sugar fruit is fine once you look good your active and you don't overdue it. The problem is in your blood sugar levels spiking and not having the will power to control it. What you did was just the easy way out. You didn't even spike your blood sugar anymore and that helped you from not binging on more food. As long as the food isn't sprayed with pesticides or GMO's etc... your actually going to live the longest on vegetables/salads animal and plant proteins and occasional fruit as a treat. Quantity is the key. Basically all you needed to do was cut out fruit and any sugar foods, you could have lost weight just cutting out sugar. I kept eating vegetables and proteins myself to lose weight, was just lifting weights and doing cardio, as long as I just cut out all sugar, that means fruit and sweets, anything that has carbs from sugar was cut out, any carbs from vegetables is fine in moderation.

Prior to carnivore, I ate a very healthy American diet, that is low fat, high fiber, moderate protein, and didn’t often have a sweet tooth. I have never been overweight but I was perpetually tormented by bloating and being excessively gassy to a point that I felt compelled to disclose it before going out on the first date with my now husband 😂

[@AlexandreLollini]

This video is extraordinary because you introduce nuances and details. Those two are endangered species in the modern world. What I found out when I put an end to my food addiction to snacking is that by doing intermittent fasting or restricted time eating (removing just the morning breakfast) did put an end to 47 years of impossibility to stop eating. The main point is that when you remove glucose spikes, then you remove also glucose dips, that can trigger fatigue and a need to eat some type of carbohydrate like MILK or CHIPS or anything that is a combination of fat+flour+salt. Hunger seem more regulated now by protein and salt, so when I eat protein and salt enough, then I am satiated, and I have stable mood, stable energy, stable focus, for a long time. I am still omnivore with a strong bias to animal proteins and complete animal fats that are included. In my case bread, milk, seed oils where the things that made me always tired and lumpy. I am very happy that you say that "pure carnivore" is probably not necessary. This is also what I think.

That's not carnivore then

[@LesleighLippitt]

There are all sorts of 'carnivore.' Adjustable to each person...some are meat and butter...some meat and eggs...meat/eggs/bacon...some add veges or fruit sparingly... This is a gentle and humane bunch...some variety which works differently in our differing bodies adds to our varied successes. Be kind. We are our own Greatest Experience and Greatest Experiment.

You are glowing and people who do carnivore tend to look great. Hair skin and nails. There is something to this. I have a diet high in protein but I need to try this lifestyle.

[@scanovas88]

I really like the idea of carnivore and what people are experiencing, but i have an honest question. If carnivore is the best diet for humans, why is it necessary to supplement it with electrolytes? Shouldn't an optimal diet make supplements desirable, but more or less unnecessary,? If someone tried this diet some hundred years ago, how would they maintain naturally a healthy amount of electrolytes? This is basically what is preventing me from starting.

[@chattactics5804]

If you are a couch potato you do not need carbs.

[@Mrswillia03]

I think you meant removing the extra fiber from our carnivore diets and adding more fat.

Fruit & veggies made things worse for me and to think those are healthy foods that are usually recommended. A big myth, especially if you are severely insulin resistant! I am currently doing carnivore for the next 36 days! Feeling great so far! 💕

[@garrykimovich]

6 years is too short since our bodies are highly adaptable. We have to see how you are in 20 or 30 years on carnivore. Also your improved health could just be attributed to cutting out junk food and over-eating rather than vegetables or just carnivore.

That was a really good explanation of why some people go carnivore. While it is not something I would do completely, there is learning there for everyone. You look much better and healthier after dropping 100 lb.

went to church tonight for family night which is a free dinner followed by 1 hour of bible study. every wed in Joshua tree at lighthouse church. they had chicken breasts and white steamed rice again. I could not resist the rice. but I ate 6 chicken breasts and just 2 cups of rice. oh and hot yummy mushrooms.

Been on a carnivore for a year with 7-8 hours sleep at night resulting my energy skyrocketing like crazy, no brain fog, BP from 160/110 down to 128/96, my body sensitivity regarding any bad health signal increases.

[@NormanNaval]

From what i have heard from other carnivore contents. Its still the sugar that's being converted to fat. From what i see, if excessive fat food becomes fat, then even with no carbohydrate diet, we can still get fat if we eat too much. But does that happen? I'm not sure. I see carnivores munching and still not getting fat.
