I can't believe I was so stupid! I started the Carnivore diet 2 months ago & I have not lost any weight, in fact I have gained weight! Starting tomorrow I am starting PSMF! Thank you for the clarification!

[@MariaEmmerich]

Just be sure to implement PSMF the correct way :) 1-3 days per week, follow your weight loss macros the other days, and throw in a maintenance day once every few weeks or so to keep the metabolism guessing :)

[@SonjaHillman]

Thank you so much @MariaEmmerich 💓 I forgot to mention why I was stupid 😅 I was eating 1 stick of butter 🧈 a day because that is what some of the KZbin videos suggested. No wonder why I was gaining weight! I will definitely follow your suggestions 😊 ❤️

[@daofjudith]

Carnivores preaching priming, stick of butter, high fat, eat all you want. 72 hour fasts YEAH RIGHT. I gained weight. So mad and frustrated. Found you 3 weeks ago. Started with the macro calculator and PMSF and weight is FINALLY going down. Lost 10 lbs. I feel great. People need to be careful who they follow. Priming is insane. I’ve unfollowed all of them. Thank you for all the precise information ❤

That is so great!!! How much protein and fat do you eat in a day? (New to keto) love from me

[@gingercameronfordcrouch7057]

So you tried it all, it really doesn't work? Cause I was gonna try it all. Well experment anyway andvthen go with lower fatvif needed to lose somebweightvifvit didn't work for me. I can understand haining weight from protein to get healthy. I mean if it works for them. And priming made sense to eat until you couldn't stand it any more then back off. But yeah it sounded too good to be true. So glad I seen your comment and this video! I think the Protein to Energy Ratio Diet kinda makes sense too not really promoted by carnivores though but I found Le😂Ketogenic Woman who mentions Protien Modified Sparing Fasts so I figured well if she uses it must be necessary to some extent just want real whole foods though and not all extra stuff and ingredients. Idk maybe ok for beginning to convert my family into it. But I don't the extras is not good for getting off carbs and sugar cravings.

I didn't understand the science behind keto until I found you guys. I didn't want to chase ketones, because it felt like another measurement, like my weight, that would make me go crazy if i didn't reach a certain goal. Overall I just want to be healthy and avoid health issues that come as you get older. I'm still struggling with food addiction, but it's so much easier to say no to sugary foods when you aren't constantly starving.

Thank you so much Maria and Craig ❤ please make a specific video for thyroid cancer patients ❤ sending you tons of love from Mexico

[@MariaEmmerich]

Good idea! With existing cancer, you want to reduce protein a little below your normal protein goal and dial your other macros down a bit too. Cancer is an anabolic disease, it loves any growth. So limiting sugar and starches #1, then moderate to a touch lower protein, then some fat as needed but not too much. This is also where therapeutic fasting (multiple day water fasts) could be helpful with supervision. There is growing science and evidence that keto can be helpful for many forms of cancer. This book has great info. amzn.to/3H5ewQS

Been waiting for this video. Sound of reason. Great job. 👏👏👏👏

[@SunsetRC]

This comment is for Craig. Firstly, I enjoy the videos you all do. And like you, I’m highly skeptical/perfectionist and have been struggling with weight since 1989. I’m 25 lbs from my goal and part is due to your videos, so thank you. In the video you mentioned that fecal fat output is the same: 8 gms of fat between a 4-week scientific test of 1 group eating between 62-152 gms of fat and another group eating between 120-320gms of fat. You mentioned that both groups excreted the same amount of fat output (grams). But I’m not sure if this is correct as the article states that they have confirmed with their study that "fecal fat output increases when dietary fat intake increases". The amount of output is significantly higher with a higher fat intake. This is on page 960 of the PDF. This explains why we have some people eating a very high-fat diet and maintaining a lean body which is probably more due to genetics (that skinny friend). Or my wife’s Mom who was born with an extraordinarily fast metabolism and maintains an 80lb body weight while eating a diet high in wheat and fat. I like your content but to say all that extra fat is stored seems a bit far-fetched don’t you think? Body types play a huge role in all this, and since both you and Maria seem like endomorphs (based on lower body structure) you are destined to easily hold more weight and naturally have an exceptionally high appetite with a low resting metabolic rate. My body is the same. As for the body gaining fat-weight, I think this is due to our overconsumption of calorie-dense foods. As you know a fat gram is 9 calories versus a protein gram is only 4. And because fat is much easier and faster to consume in higher amounts, exceeding the body's ability to utilize those calories is very easy. Even a very active endomorph will need to fight to the death to see the scale drop (if it ever does). For example 400 calories of Keto Bombs compared to 10 loaves of egg white bread. Protein is much harder to consume in larger amounts and satiety is reached much sooner because of this. So in the end, I think we are eating in a deficit followed by a diet with stable blood sugar and utilizing some ketones for fuel. I’m now finding out why it’s very detrimental to “cheat” and introduce sugar which then confuses the body as to which energy source to burn. So my conclusion is to eat a diet high in protein to be full and satisfied and once in a while use “fat” as a treat instead of a “carb” as a treat. In the end, you are in a deficit with the highest probability to maintain muscle mass at the same time. It may be one of the only choices we have.

[@craigemmerich]

And to the point about people eating very high fat and staying lean, that isn't due to this effect. That is because they are lean and thus need a lot of fat in the diet to fuel them. When in maintenance you need more fat in the diet. :)

[@craigemmerich]

Yes, Sorry, it has been a while since I read this study. Actually, it is even less fat in the stool than I stated. On page 956 it states that the low fat diet saw an average of 1.1g fat in the stool and the high fat saw 3.1g in the stool. The average increase from adding an extra 90g fat to the diet was 1.96 extra grams of fat in the stool. :) Page 956: Fecal fatty acid excretion also increased on the high fat diet. Total excretion on the low fat diet was 1.14 ±0.35 g/day rising to 3.1±0.71 g/day (t = 11.4; P < 0.001) on the high fat diet. The average increase in fatty acid output was 1.96±0.42 g/day of which C16:0 and C18:0 accounted for 76.0%±10.32

I'm rarely feeling either, eating the butter (not sure if it's a stick a day, but it's more than I was eating), but I hear you saying it's not going to help me lose weight.. So I don't know what to do. I'm 66 grandma, I should be more active, but I don't see that happening at this stage of my life.

[@zumbapatty4988]

What if I wanted to GAIN weight? I have been through medical hell the past year and lost about 10 pounds and a LOT of muscle mass. I am 5'6" and only 118 pounds! That scares me (my ideal weight is 125-130), but I seem to have no appetite (probably because I took opioids for so long after my surgery and subsequent complications). But I took myself off the opioids about 6 months ago (talk about withdrawal symptoms!!!) and still my appetite is not what it should be. I am 74 years old and have always been very active, so not happy about all this. I live on a small farm by myself, with a large organic garden and chickens, and have a small business and a part-time job, so this has set me back a lot. I've just ordered 4 of your books, and until I receive them, I've been easing into keto on my own. Before this I've been mostly a veg person, but have been eating more and more meat (but I admit not enough fat). Anyway, what do you recommend for people who actually want to GAIN weight and muscle mass? Because of complications with hip and knee replacements (I think nerve and/or bone damage) as well as a severe case of spondylolisthesis in my low back, I am not able to exercise (yet).

I cam never go back to 30g of fat per day

[@MariaEmmerich]

Please make sure you are getting adequate protein. 1000 calories a day every day is not a lot of fuel and if you are only averaging 60-70g of protein per day that is not nearly enough. The bare minimum protein requirement for a 5 ft tall woman is 80g per day. You also want to be careful not to cause metabolic adaptation, so adding an overfeeding day every few weeks is ideal.

First of all I'm on carnivore. The more protein I eat and the more fat I drop the hungrier I get. Adding more fat satisfied me. Sometimes it's not about just losing weight it's also about fixing hormones and digestive issues. On carnivore it's different than keto because you get rabbit starvation without enough fat. Also all those egg whites on PSMF gave me constipation almost took me to the emergency room. Just saying.

[@leavethecarbstaketheprotein]

I eat ketovore, and it’s opposite with me. Fat makes me hungrier while protein fills me up.

[@craigemmerich]

Thats because fat is 9 calories per gram and protein only 4 (and effectively protein isn't used much as a fuel). So just add more protein to help with satiety. :)

[@leavethecarbstaketheprotein]

@@craigemmerich exactly

[@MariaEmmerich]

Rabbit Starvation is a myth. Adding protein will help with satiety. I agree that it's not always about losing weight, and hormone and GI health are important things to consider. But you do not need to eat excessive amounts of fat. Also, if eggs caused you serious issues it means you are sensitive to them and you should avoid them. But that is not the case for everyone :)

[@craigemmerich]

The only time rabbit starvation becomes an issue is if you are eating very little carbs or fat, AND your are very lean. If you have weight to lose, your body will just use the stored body fat for fuel. :)

My problem was constipation 🥴 no gall bladder tho can't take ox bile it gives me heartburn 😑

[@jersonsoledad2640]

Were you increasing your salt? Usually that helps a lot with constipation when doing keto. I am without a gallbladder as well. After a few months of cutting dairy and nuts down to little or none and doing PMSF a few days a week + one overfeeding day, my bowel movements leveled out and became perfect (haha, there is such a thing). I also noticed that adding a small plain salad of lettuce, tomatoes and onions helped, but not entirely sure if it was the veggies, or just meeting my protein macros. In any case, I'd look at your salt intake and possibly electrolytes. I take a gallbladder formula with my vitamins at my first meal and it seems to help. But even without it, I was doing okay. Just takes time to find the sweet spot for your body my friend. I hope you find yours and resolve your digestive issues. Maria and Craig have excellent supplement plans that are worth the $25/plan.

[@mama_j5041]

I see your point but I asked Neisha Berry this very question and she stated that the excess fats get breathed out. Assuming in the same way that we lose weight (fat) through our breath?

[@craigemmerich]

No, it does not get breathed out. The only part of fat you breathe out is acetone which comes from FFA made into ketones, then enters Krebs cycle with acetone as a byproduct of burning the ketones. Breath ketones. You only dump significant amounts into the breath when you are first adapting to keto. That is why some people get keto breath. It's the increased acetone in the breath. Once you are fat adapted, your body is primarily burning free fatty acids (FFA) not ketones and thus you use less ketones and excrete less acetone in the breath. If you dumped any significant amount of fat into the breath as acetone, you would have the worst breath on the planet. :)

[@leavethecarbstaketheprotein]

If the excess fats get breathed out, then how do carnivores sometimes gain weight, and I don’t mean muscle weight? It’s obviously not too much carbs.

[@palinageorgsdottir]

I like your macro calculator but never have managed to eat that much protein ... it is as if I had to eat about 1 pound . I know protein is a goal but I'm afraid that if not reaching it then there will be muscle loss. What are your thoughts? Perhaps you have an article / video about it?

[@MariaEmmerich]

Protein is a daily requirement that you always want to meet or exceed to avoid muscle loss. It isn't that hard to reach your protein goal. For example, 8oz of chicken breast contains about 70g of protein. mariamindbodyhealth.com/how-to-increase-protein-without-adding-fat/

[@cynthiabahena9721]

I'm so confused. Dr. Ben Bikman is an expert in BIoenenergentics and metabolism. He has discussed that fat cannot be stored without the presence of insulin, no exceptions.

[@craigemmerich]

While Ben is right about the presence of insulin, he is wrong about the context. Yes, if you have no insulin (so are a type 1 diabetic who isn't taking insulin shots) then you can't store fat. But none of us are going around with no insulin in our body. We all have insulin present all the time. jIn fact, if you are overweight or obese you likely have very high insulin levels all the time. Most people when they start working with us have fasting insulin of 10, 20 or even 30! So the lowest their insulin ever goes is 30. So we all have insulin all the time and if overweight have high insulin all the time.

Thanks

I am mostly carnivore and exercise daily.my protein intake is usually around 200 gr and my fat intake around 150gr and less .how these numbers seem to you?

[@jersonsoledad2640]

You should use their macro calculator. It really helps. Sounds like you're in maintenance eating that much protein and fat, so you can select the maintenance option after you plug in your measurements, etc. Hope this helps!

[@MariaEmmerich]

I would need to know a lot more information about you. Check out my free macro calculator (and be sure to read the notes at the top before you fill it out): mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/

I need help. I had my gallbladder out so fat is out. I have IBS so fiber is out. I have many digestive issues. Veggies cause diarrhea, fruit causes diarrhea. I also have high sugar. Lean meat see. ms ok. Carbs no good. Nuts cause diarrhea. What in the world can I eat ?

[@MariaEmmerich]

This WOE is actually great for your situation because we do not teach high fat. You prioritize lean animal protein, moderate fat, and limit total carbs to 20g or less per day.

And try adding a digestive enzyme: mariamindbodyhealth.com/spectrazyme-pan-9x/

What do you think about taking amino acids

[@MariaEmmerich]

I think it is fine, especially for building lean mass :) mariamindbodyhealth.com/amino-acids-for-muscle-growth/

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

What about the lymphatic system? I thought fat was good for that??

[@palinageorgsdottir]

I am just not satisfy when eating high fat. My body always asks for more protein. I have terrible IBS and leading more towards what some call ketovore has been helpful for me (tiny bity veggies and berries).

I have the APOE4 genotype. Isn’t fat necessary?

[@MariaEmmerich]

No, I don't think so. Prioritize protein and adjust fat based on your goals. :)

[@mikafoxx2717]

Fat is necessary, but only 30-40g a day minimum. With APOE4 you want to prioritize getting omega 3's in from fish.

[@brendaandrandyking4126]

It was pringles!!!!

[@Lovepodcast101]

Why does my dads bs shoot up much higher when he eats lean meat versus fatty meat ?????

[@MariaEmmerich]

Depends A LOT on his current metabolic health state. As fat cells shrink and insulin resistance improves, so do the blood sugar spikes.
