I’m a teen myself, and now I know better to make healthier food choices for myself. I wish my parents fed me the way you feed your kids. I think they’ll look around them as teens and later as adults, and be thankful for the way you raised them.

[@CourtneyLuna]

I appreciate your input so much!! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@spacestem]

We use the story of the “Three Little Pigs” to talk about food with our little ones. We talk about how food is the building materials for our “house” (body and brain) and that different food are like different materials. If you make your whole house out of straw it will fall down when the Big Bad Wolf (stress, sickness etc) comes along. We want most of our house to be made out of bricks (healthy animal proteins and fats), it’s okay if there are some sticks (veggies) and the occasional straw (fruits, birthday cake, holiday cookies), but we need to prioritize the animal foods.

[@michellea8178]

I LOVE THIS IDEA!! Great job! 👏👏👏

[@Aziara86]

This is a fantastic way to conceptualize this for kids!

[@CourtneyLuna]

Love this!! 🙌🏼

[@Texasdonna]

I raised my sons similarly. They are now 22 & 19 and have a very healthy relationship with food. Let me warn you of the downside: it makes parenting harder because when they are sad or upset, you can’t just take them out for a treat to make them feel better. 😂😂😂. I was like, “Oh, crap, I really have to help them address the root of their problem instead of taking them to Starbucks for a muffin.” Haha. Great video!

[@CourtneyLuna]

Haha right?! Can’t use food as a pacifier 😆 you did a great job!

[@greenserene2676]

How your feeding your kids is exactly how I am doing it too and it is so freeing to know that our children are learning about nutrition. I love how my daughter knows what carbohydrates are and how protein makes her strong. Fat helps us have full tummies. Her picky eating from just wanting carbs and sugar has made a complete 180. My son has only eaten carnivore with the occasional strawberry. He eats sooo much, his appetite is insane. God bless him haha. He's going to eat me out of house and home.

[@CourtneyLuna]

That’s awesome! 🤩

[@Johnsoncrna]

I think you’re taking an amazing approach! What a great balance of letting them eat “crap” but then also helping them understand the consequences of their actions. Love your channel!

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thanks Andrea! 💜

[@serenasmith-bk8os]

I went ketogenic and put an autoimmune disease into remission. I got pregnant when they told me I likely couldn’t have more kids. Had labs done before and after too. Inflammation was down and I was no longer anemic. I had huge improvement on neurological symptoms.

[@loretta6089]

Every child should be so lucky to have a mom like you.😃❤

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thanks friend 💜

[@snowdrop4842]

It's unbelievable that people would say your kids will have an eating disorder! What about the millions of people with celiac disease that have to completely adjust their kitchens and have gluten free cooking areas and constantly label read etc. Being mindful of nutrition should be part of a child's education and upbringing. Good job mamma!

[@CourtneyLuna]

Great point!! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@ForHisGlorywithCamille]

Great video! I am going to start carnivore soon and want to try this approach with my children. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@cc2020-d4w]

Courtney, you're a super mom! And brave to be sharing this with the world. I applaud you! I've been a public school teacher for 27 years & I work with the youngest ones from ages 5-8! The crap these poor kids are fed in the public schools makes me cringe. And honestly, the children who bring their own food from home aren't really getting much better. For the most part. Some do not most don't. And I'm telling you, I see the difference in their behaviors, lack of attention, focus & overall mood. And unfortunately their overall academic performance is severely impacted. They'd no prioritizing animal based protein. It's genuinely despicable and truly sad too what the Food Pyramid or My Plate or whatever guidelines are supposed to be followed now in such regulated institutions like public schools, hospitals, rehab clinics, assisted living homes, summer camps, even our troops. You're doing a phenomenal job as a mom who teaches her kids what should be taught by example in the home. That's what parents are supposed to do. And we all try to teach the best we know to our little ones so they can benefit. We, the teachers notice which families spend time in teaching important things to their kids & which unfortunately, don't & they just seem to leave all the "teaching" to the educators. The education should start from home. You are doing that. Good for you & good for your kiddos! You ROCK! Thanks for your candidness & ALL your videos!! 💘

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thank you so much for this! It really is sad what goes on out there

[@NaeDaNicest]

I love Open communication you are having with them great Job 👏

[@Mistymegaccinomoments]

Husband and I are carnivore for about 3 months now and are slowly transitioning our kids to healthier choices. Prioritizing education through good conversations - love your reminder to pair fruit with a protein! Bought the icecream maker you featured so we could make healthier versions at home occasionally rather than go out for icecream. Sharing a pint versus everyone gets two scoops has been great! Baby steps in hopes of setting the whole family up for better health. Thanks for sharing your journey ❤

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thank you! You’re doing great!

[@vanamarkarian]

I love how u talk and explain everything with ur kids openly, amazing!!!

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thank you!

[@AnneMB955]

I am a firm believer of parents teaching their children about nutrition so they understand how their choices impact their bodies. Well done Courtney, excellently presented. 👏

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thanks so much! 💜💜💜

[@angelagrant2943]

Amen, I agree ❤

[@CarnivoreAli]

Teaching kids at any age, especially when they are young, is never a bad idea. Parents that don't teach their kids anything about the importance of nutrition just isn't the best way. How many of us were raised with zero idea of nutrition?? Ignoring it so you don't "cause your kids damage" isn't the answer. Great video, pal!

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thanks so much!!

[@sherylgaare2471]

100% right on. I wish I knew about this way of eating 40 years ago before I had children.

[@FrannyBeepsAttic]

Me too!

[@sharonvandoran7608]

You're doing an amazing job Courtney Good for you!! 🎉🎉 I wish I knew more about an animal based Carnivore Lifestyle when my kids were younger!! ❤ Loving your Education with Awesome tips and Tricks!!

Courtney? You DO YOU... because at the end of the day, ONLY YOU and your family are what matter! Thanks for putting these inspiring videos out there and making me feel that I have support while on Day 12!!!! Feeling fantastic!!! 🙌

Thank you! And yay for day 12! Keep it up 👏🏼

[@1BethMcBeth]

@CourtneyLuna I lost 7lbs the first week! Wish me luck on weigh in on Sat! Can't believe how much energy I have!!!!!

[@lizterrazas-raimo8647]

love your transparency.. I have a Keto group on FB and hear all the time the grumbling excuses of I need to cook regular for the family and I try my best but I eat carbs and can't help it.. I always say.. Changing the families way of eating will benefit everyone..

[@michaelbradley6004]

Totally agree. Just because society normalizes something doesnt mean its healthy, or even moral.

[@michelletan8493]

👏👏 First of all, your kids are not going to have an eating disorder because their brains are well-nourished, hormones are balanced, and they are educated on nutrition at a young age. No brain fog so they can think clearly and logically. They will have more fuel to burn so are more likely to choose activities where they can be active and and be happy. Bonus: obesity and the chronic diseases that comes with it is out of the picture, that includes anxiety and depression so they can focus their energy in pursuing the things they are interested in. You just made their teenage years less challenging (raging hormones, pimples and all.)

[@miarothwell7656]

I applaud you on everything you said in this video! Thank you for ALL that you do! You are so inspiring to me,… thank you so very much❤

If I could go back and start over with all 5 of mine, they would have the proper human diet. They do enjoy a lot of mine and your, Courtney Luna's recipes! 😂

You’re a great mom, Courtney! I wish I would’ve known this info years ago. My son hated veggies and I now knw y. Now, that they’re teens, it’s a challenge.

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@sashavjs]

"Well everyone else is having a little bit of rat poison so you can have some too so you don't stick out as the weirdo!" That made me lol bc just the other week when my in-laws were insisting on feeding my tot cake and crackers that had 50+ ingredients - basically Styrofoam - out of politeness I relented but my inner dialogue was "here, have a little line of coke to appease your grandparents - they've even got you a Peppa Pig straw!" It really pisses me off how I have to let my standards* slip to please other people. *Standards being not feeding my child poison, sawdust and mold. Just ordered your book btw - first ever cookbook purchase because I know for the first time in my life, this IS a lifestyle and not a fad and therefore worth the investment. Cant wait to get it!

[@liancabastian6732]

Well said, agree 💯. You're an awesome mom. ❤

[@CourtneyLuna]

Aw thank you 🙏🏼

[@alicegonzalez1623]

You are a great Mom Courtney. Thank you for the awesome advice. I was wondering where did you get the cute Moon Banner behind you?

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thank you! It’s from vida and luz :) I found them on IG but they have a website

[@motherof1doll.]

Another cool thing Courtney is when they do eat junk as a teen & young adult as they add different things into their diet they will physically feel the difference. My kiddo is a type 1 diabetic & prefers how she feels as a carnivore the last five years since age 12, now 17. But if she ends up with roommates or a partner & wanders off into ‘normal food’ she will be very aware of how her body feels & less tricked by the ‘healthy’ labeling on packaging & pressure from people to eat like them to make them feel comfortable rather than making herself feel her best. Especially when she can really not be able to participate if she doesn’t feel her best since she has to calculate insulin at every waking (& non/waking) moment no matter what is going on. It’s ironic an education in nutrition is being called ‘eating disorder.’ Growing up with a sibling with anorexia nervosa who we had to visit in a hospital I sure notice a difference in food obsession vs a nutritional education.

[@Gorman-84]

Just playing with you a bit here, but still waiting for your homemade "mayonnaise" recipes. If you haven't, you should try it and I bet your kids will love the multitude of different sauces you can make to go with the hamburgers. They will probably like making it with you as well, since it is quick and easy. I make something new about every week. You are so much fun. Your videos always make my day. PS, the carnivore police may be after me as I do put things in my "mayo" like jalapenos, bell peppers, onions, garlic, mustard, and sauerkraut (don't knock it till you try it). I think they will give me a pass on the Blue Cheese and parmesan cheese. Keep it up super mom!😇❤

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thank you!!

[@annaobrien7245]

Love this video! I’ve done keto for almost 3 years and I’ve slowly changed my kids diets from what they looked like 2 years ago (loads of processed to mostly homemade). We still do a good amount of grains for them tho (organic and unfortified as much as possible), but I’d like to cut back even more. What are your best tips?

[@NoFeArChiC2]

I wish someone educated me when I was a kid. Good for you! 👏

[@oldtymer9106]

I wish my Mom knew this. She's pure Polish and most meals were around 50% carbs with soda to wash it down - smh.

[@AnnabellaRedwood]

I hated veggies as a child. I was a very fussy eater. I also think it's because I had tummy issues. I think the plants made me sick even as a child. I think you're doing an awesome job. Lots of meat. You don't really want anything else.

[@CourtneyLuna]

Thank you 🙏🏼

My question is on processed foods. Why do you eat sausage bacon for instance? Seems safer for everyone to stay away from processes foods as much as possible

[@JoVo1111]

I don’t have kids but I have a husband so…same thing. And I feed him carnivore. 😊

[@lorelwebber6435]

Get help ! I am unsubscribed now. You really need to address that this has become a purist obsession for you. Cake is not comparable to rat poison? You say you don’t talk about diet or weight with them but you are definately going to give your children complexes about how they eat like eating meat with fruit? This is super confusing for children. My advice is buy every food group and a large variety of foods. Let them pick what their body wants to eat. Controlling them is just going to cause long term issues with you.

[@FastingWisdom]

Get a shrink, geez.

[@shawnmarieVnutrition]

93% of our country is either obese or has some kind of chronic disease. Go and read through the comments of some of Ken Berry's vids. There are many 1000's of testimonials of people who have completely healed their illnesses after getting off the SAD diet and no longer following the gov't guidelines. If you actually do this, there will be no way for you to continue to think this way. Its too compelling. Why bring more kids up on the one of the worst diets for good health? Why not just start them right?

[@serenasmith-bk8os]

You need go educate yourself. Obesity kills. Inflammatory foods fuel chronic illness.

[@ginaemory]

Actually cake is comparable to rat poison if you look at the ingredients and what they do to your body.... Sugar = poison. Seed oils = poison. Refined white flour = poison. Artificial flavors and colors = poison.
