You two are so sweet together. The friendship between you is so obvious! Love your openness.
Thank you :)
Long before Atkins i discovered Dr. Stillman who recommended meats..cheese..eggs..fish. No carbs. Worked great. No mention of excess protein turning to sugar. I guess what is old is new again.
We went carnivore for 3 months and both felt an improvement from day one. No adjustment issues. Sleep better, skin looks better, gained muscle tone, teeth are whiter and shinier.
ME: I was already at my goal weight but my body composition quickly changed. I'm in my 40's and I grew muscles that I never had (even in my 20's). Without any extra exercise. My facial skin looks smooth and even, no longer red and flakey. No more pimples, eczema, dandruff or fungal infections that plagued me for most of my adult life. No longer constipated. I sleep more soundly without my previously tossing and turning. I wake up refreshed with energy all day and no longer need naps. No longer "hangry" all the time and I'm less irritable.
HER: My girl has several auto-immune diseases and this has been a god-send to her. She has lost 4 kg or 9 lb and gained some muscle. Her constipation, nausea, vomiting and bloating disappeared, joint pain gone 90%, insomnia of 20+ years gone, stomach pain and chronic fatigue gone 70%. Periods now regular to 28 days and 50% less painful. Her hair, eyebrows, lashes and nails are growing back. Previously had 10 years of thinning and bald spots, and nails splitting to the pink and bleeding. She gets blood tests and her kidney function and gout have improved almost to normal. Cholesterol has remained in the healthy range. So much more but it will get boring.
so happy for you both! :) continued healthy vibes to you!
@@JennyLory Thankyou! 😍 I know no diet suits everybody, but Carnivore seems to suit so many people!
That is awesome!!! We're doing a new challenge very soon but something tells me carnivore will make a comeback in our home soon after.
You two are so cute together I just love ur channel and how you work together I think that’s awesome. I lost 110 pounds on low carb eating five years ago. I lost my husband and gained a little bit back and I found ur channel and you/both of you have given me that spark again to get back on it again. I follow ur channel religiously lol I’ve made ur meals I prep a bunch of meals in one day and then freeze them for the week. You both are a true inspiration for running this channel. You two remind me of me and my husband back in the day. We did it together as well and encouraged each other to stick with it. It took me two years to get it all off but well worth it. Thank you for all that you do ♥️
Very sorry for your loss. I just can't image what you've endured. I'm glad you found our channel and are channeling your energy on getting back on track. I'm doing a video on what I'm doing to course correct too.
Thank you for sharing this information- Dot I hope your hip feels better soon.
Thank you!
Good to see both of you!
Hope you feel better Dot.
Take care you two. thanks Jennifer 😄
Thanks Jennifer :)
Good info. Thanks Dot and John. Look forward to your final thoughts on carnivore, and next challenge.
So glad to see that John shows great promise for a mid-life career as a hand model! Jergens definitely wants to talk to you! I am going to stick with keto for now as I have done well with it and I like the variety I can have. If I have steak I love a salad with it. I find the vitamin C comments interesting. Will have to look into that. I didn't get my usual fall cold this year. Only difference is I was keto. With the spicey stuff for me it doesn't affect me as much as certain types of oil do. Lots of Chinese restaurants make me have to hurry!
Hah, too funny. Oh, and keep in mind we were still eating low carb. And the next challenge will also be low carb.
Thank you for talking about this as I have been wondering about carnivore. Hope your health improves soon!
Thank you!
I always swear the bouts of diarrhea are the cells shedding, one thing I noticed with switching from keto to carnivore the body toning on its own. I lost 80 lbs on keto and stalled for months, carnivore and cutting dairy I lost another 15 in the first month I will lose loads of weight then nothing a few weeks, but I went down 2 more sizes.. and the natural fasting that comes with, 😄 I know you like to fast and shed cells, its easy to only eat once a day! 1 to 2 grams of protein per pound of lean mass or ideal weight is what I learned to be standard 😍 when I feel weak it us usually cause I'm lacking salt and potassium I add "no salt" and sea salt 1/8th tsp with some lemon, water, and some ice.. but I also learned once the body has the salt and potassium it needs it will dump the excess... aka diarrhea 🤗 good luck my friends
I've been a devoted, strict carnivore with intermittent fasting for a month now. Have felt less inflamed, not hungry, wide awake, but have lost only 4 pounds on doctor scale. However, I feel thinner and clothes fit better. Cholesterol has gone up, but no protein or urinary issues. My doctor is really trying to push a statin, but I'm mot doing that again.
Hey Dots and John thank you for Q and A about carnivore keto diet. I'm happy Dots you are finding solution for your hip. You will be success with John. 💖💖 Have a great day
Thank you!
🤔
Dot Daddy's in the house! Great to see you both for a change. :-) I started carnivore after your last video. Not strict...but more meat than usual and less carbs than usual. I second (with a loud voice) that I feel much more full for a longer period of time and that is why I am liking it very much for now. I think I'll keep doing some "green" as I think my body needs the roughage, so I'll probably never be 100% carnivore. But, for sure, ground beef patties and eggs are my mainstay for now. Thank you for the challenge, Q&A and for bringing us another challenge in February. :-) PS...Hope that hip gets much better soon!
Thank you!
You've gotten over the sugar coma. It happened to me too. I eat carbs and it's off to sleep. When I'm 0ff carbs, loads of energy.
Great for you Dot. And while I'm here, I do make your low carb recipes and they are great. Thanks for the channel .
Wow guys as a personal trainer I got to say I'm very impressed with everything you're saying I'm going to send your video to some people I'm training you guys are setting it great example of how it's done and I'm very very proud of you!!!!
Thank you!
OMG! Thank y'all so very much! This was a wonderful, and as always VERY informative video. Y'all are amazing! I appreciate your assistance. I'm going to get stocked up and try it for February.
Thanks so much :) Best of luck on it! Check out those videos I put in the description. Great info.
Keep going, Mr. & Mrs Dot2Trot! Everyone needs to find what is right for their bodies, and make their "own" diet, depending upon your stage in life, or medical needs. In 1995, I ate at least 120 grams of protein per day when I was pregnant with my twins. They were born at 7 and 7.8 lbs. each and we were all very healthy! A year later, I couldn't tolerate the Atkin/high protein diet. 10 years later, I tried vegan/no added oils (Forks Over Knives) and failed miserably, cholesterol high, kidneys bad. Now, LCHF/50 grams or less carbs works really well for me. At 57, I am at my goal weight, and only gained 1 1/2 pounds over Christmas, even though I cheated somewhat and enjoyed myself. I listen to my body to tell me what to eat more of/cut back on. I need some plant fiber, and get my carbs from plants, nuts and seeds. Just DONT listen to an allopathic medical doctor on diet/wellness. Go naturopathic.
Thanks Angela :) Always best to listen to your body.
I think you should stay on carnivore, it might help you heal. For variety, I tend to mix my meats with cheese and eggs. So, bacon dipped into fried eggs with slices of cheese. Hamburger with chili power, grated cheese and a bit of sour cream. I also include liver, both chicken and beef.
Well, I'm interested in learning new things and trying different approaches. John may stick with carnivore, we'll see.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving you shold join carnivore groups on facebook
This was awesome! My digestion is flaring up again, and I was considering carnivore. It's refreshing to see "regular folks" talking about it candidly. Thanks!
Thanks Cherie :)
I ate two boiled eggs for breakfast and I’m not hungry at all. On carnivore I don’t get hungry. I’m wanting a chuck roast for dinner tonight.
Excellent video. Really enjoyed you and your husband together. Looking forward to seeing more of your challenge results :) Wondering if you are planning to do the 20 total carb challenge for keto ? Also did you incorporate IF with carnivore?
Not sure yet about IF and carnivore. We'll see :) As for 20 carb challenge, that's been most of my keto existence, except when it wasn't lol. Lots of challenges in 2018.
Very informative. Thank you!
I'm glad I found your videos. I have I.B.S. the diarea kind, so this may help, I hope.
Ashley - me too. Started Carnivore July 25th and doing so much better!!!
Dot- Your skin looks amazing, you really are glowing! I think the diet must be agreeing with you. You two really seem happy and perfect for each other. :-)
Thank you
Hi guys, I switched from keto to carnivore in May of last year and in the process I found CZcams's KETOMAD who has now switched to CARNOMAD as a good source of carnivore information and would suggest people check him out. As for the cost of doing carnivore, I am now eating just beef and I can get a 10 pound tube of commercial ground beef for $20 and that will provide all of my meals for a week. Some people will find fault with me not eating grass fed and finished beef, but it works for my health and budget and it certainly better than the standard american diet. I have been keto/carnivore for 13 months and have lost about 85 pounds and have taken my percentage of body fat down from 35% to 16%, so it seems to be working for me. Keep your videos coming.
That is awesome. I think too many people get into the dogma of organic/grassfed. Those are important but so is budget. I find that ground beef really is the best way to afford beef.
Thank you both. You are great :-)
I have read and heard in many places that animals are acidic, including animal products. The body keeps an equilibrium of around 7.4 Ph. If we eat too many acidic foods, the body will take alkaline minerals from our bones such as calcium to keep the 7.4 Ph. Taking calcium from our bones causes osteoporosis. Acidic foods also cause joint aching. Carbohydrates become acidic if they are not burned off as the sugars they are. I think that what is called arthritis is actually eating too many acidic animals and carbohydrates and of course sugary foods. Even eggs are acidic.
I listened to Barbara O'Neill naturopath for a while. She says there is enough protein in green leafy veggies. I am on that diet now, except for eggs. I need to stop eating eggs, too. We have veggie teeth.
I have been on Keto for a couple years now. I'm 64 yrs old and just lost my husband of 43 yrs in Feb.
I have been able to get off all meds. I've lost most inflammation. I have been leaning towards carnivore lately since its easier with just me now, to put a piece of meat on my new little rotisserie and eat to get it over with. I've also had my gallbladder out a couple years ago and absolutely no probs.
Hope to see some newer videos to see how you're doing.
Thank you and God Bless.
Miss you Dot!!! I hope you will be coming back to share more of your yummy keto/low carb meals. Hope you and your husband will get well soon. ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoyed your video. I do like the low carb way of eating. I do intermittent fasting (18:6) which really helped me to lose weight, inches. I lost 63 lbs. and lost the big belly which is wonderful. I do eat protein-heavy meals but I do eat veggies and some low carbs. Thanks!
Great talk John and Dot! We’ve done Carnivore before and enjoyed it. Just talking about starting again tonight.
CJs -- that's awesome. Sorry to only get back today. Been so hectic. Carnivore will be an on-and-off staple in the house. Incredibly easy to eat/prepare (as it were), and John's pretty excited about it.
I often wonder about you and John. How are you guys doing?
Thanks so much for sharing! My first few weeks I was full of energy, I also struggle to get to two pounds, I don’t work out, I was running up stairs, then had the next three months of ups and downs I had to figure out.
You two are absolutely adorable! XD Thanks for the videos!
It's now December 2020, how are you doing? Hoping your hip has improved.
missing your blogs hope you are ok
Your husband is awesome in front of the camera too! You’re a lovely couple.
Thank you!
Nicely done. It I interesting that it seems like there are more men that seem to do better on carnivore than keto. It makes sense, as they already have more muscle on their bodies.
I'd love to see more rigorous research done on this, but so far we get more anecdotal stuff. We'll get there.
Thank you for doing this update and Q and A.
Sorry you are having difficulty with your hip. I’m having problems w/my left hip. Don’t know why. I have to get up and walk around more. my new Apple Watch reminds me to stand every hour if sitting a lot. Longer I sit the more pain when I stand up and walk. Can’t sleep on it at all. Got pillows to help me sleep on my back.
I want to try carnivore but the days I eat more meat my BMs are more difficult (sorry if tmi!).
Did you not say what the next food challenge is or did I just miss it?
Sorry you're going through heck. I didn't say the next challenge yet :)
Great video. Really enjoyed it.
Bloading after a meal often is SIBO. For this, very! low carb is the best, so or carnivore... or Keto with IF really really helps.
We're doing a lot of research on this now and agree.
A S Yup, I had to go carnivore because I bloated like crazy on keto/low carb. It’s the best with fasting.
Thanks for the videos... You guys are great...
In my journey with carnivore, fiber made it worse, even soluble fiber. Plants have oxalates, sharp glass shard like crystals that cause gut health issues.
However, I would be seven to ten days no bms and that wasn’t good either.
So I upped magnesium electrolytes in my water, not a supplement, until my bowels moved. I have a balanced movement after four weeks of working on it.
I just started and immediately started fasting 22-23 hours a day. But trying to eat enough in that one meal, I couldn't. So back to two meals a day, BBB$E.
Dot take your time I just had to deal with shoulder surgery while going Carnivore. It was the best thing for me I really gained muscle and my healing is much faster even my doctor was impressed.
That's awesome!
Looks like you two have a "dream marriage" the way you support each other. Let me guess what your next move might be? Intermittent fasting, dry fasting, or juice fasting?? I don't know where you live in the USA or if you think it might be worth your money and time to attend, but there is the Carnivore Conference 2019 On March 7th in Boulder, CO and the Low Carb Convention in Denver, CO March 8th - 10th. Shawn Baker will be there, if that interests you, plus a lot of other big names in the Keto, Carnivore Community. Great video...keep them coming...you're someone we can all relate to.
Thank you and thanks for letting us know about the Carnivore and LC conferences. We've talked about attending something this year including the low carb cruise. All depends on family stuff and hubby's vacation schedule.
How are you doing, Dot? Hope all is well with you. Really miss seeing your videos x
I don’t exercise. Everyone has to tune into their own body. My energy is good. I find the more I eat of beef I lose more weight when i eat more of it. Paul Saladino can answer a lot of questions about the nutrition part of Carnivore. I don’t have any problem going to the bathroom if I leave cheese alone.
So this was 4 years ago. Are there current shows? I’d like to know how you are doing❤️
Carnovore is something I've thought about. Thanks for the video. I believe I might try it.
Thank you for all this information! I am starting the carnivore diet. I hope it does help me with my IBS and bloating. I'm starting tomorrow. Since I'm on dialysis, I've been advised to increase my protein, so this will be perfect. Thank you again. I love it. You two are fabulous!
Thank you and good luck. Since you're on dialysis I just recommend talking with your doctor about the diet. You really want to get protein right.
How are you doing on Dialysis? I was on it for almost 6 years before being Transplsnted last Dec. Wishing you the best
@@devlevine2782 I'm doing well, thank you. I've been on dialysis for 2 years, 2 months. As of last month I actually started a plant based way of eating, getting most of the protein from vegetables and nuts and legumes. Of course, I still have to watch the phosphorus, potassium and sodium. I have decided to treat myself to fish or chicken once a month or on a special dinner out with family. I'm on the transplant list but I am not sure I want it. I am very happy you got a kidney. I'm always happy when I know of people that will be relieved of dialysis and get to live a more normal life. So, congratulations. I really hope you heal fast and enjoy life the way it was meant to be lived. Wish you the very best!
I went on keto a year ago. I want to thank you because I have been making your reciepies and liked every one I cooked, which made sticking to keto a lot easier. I'm sorry to seeing you stop keto but you know what is best for you. One concern I have with this diet is that its very high on acid which I do believe will rob you from your calcium. I do believe that to keep your bones and joints healthy you need to balance your acid foods and alkaline foods.
Isabella, we're definitely not stopping keto, and I'm not going carnivore. This was a one month thing. As for the science behind it, consider that we had over a million years essentially eating carnivore (with little detours along the way). Your concerns are valid with regard to just about any question you'd have about a meat-only diet, and I'd love to hear what various doctors who are trying it would have say. Thanks, and again, no worries, there will be plenty of great keto recipes this year.
Where are you? I just found your channel. You arm so calm and give great detail. I hope you return soon.
Thanks for the update, did you find that osteo arthritis was less painful on carnivore? I have OA in both of my knees and am trying to avoid replacement surgery for as long as possible. I have been on keto for a couple of years but have found that I am not losing weight anymore and some times gaining, I need to find something to give me a kick start and help reduce some of the inflammation in my knees.
Scarlet, right now it is hard to say if carnivore is helping as I think you need to go longer than 30 days to fully adapt your body to it. Plus with all the PT i'm doing, it is really hard to say if food vs. PT is helping me or both combined. There are days I feel great and days where it just hurts to move. I'm only a few weeks in so I think that's expected. But as for the food front we're announcing a new food challenge this week specifically related to inflammation and autoimmune issues. I'm doing a keto version of it while the hubby will have a higher carb range than me. But I am taking the lesson learned from Carnivore about eating more protein to keep me full longer.
Scarlet Scarlet see site, cooling inflammation
The sleep thing works itself out, i sleep better than ever without exercising. I'm out in like 10 mins, sleep a straight 6 hours and wide awake with energy all day. The only time I ever have issue with sleep is when i am doing prolonged fasting or carb binging from a birthday cake or something.
I've been on keto since the end of July. Last week I mostly ate meat because that was all I was craving. I've had salad twice this week and keto bread that included flax last night. I've not had so much pain and gas since I began, also I had to take magnesium because I was beginning to get constipated. I may have no choice but to become carnivore.
My immediate advice is stay away from the nut recipes. Yes, I know, I have nut recipes on the channel. But it doesn't mean you have to use them. I provide them for people who want a treat once in a while and can do so without problems. But they DO cause problems for some people. As for veggies, some also cause issues, and it may require an elimination diet to find out which ones cause the issues. Carnivore is great for that. Best of luck :)
Where have you gone Dot ???miss you
"Curry makes you hurry" LOL!
Try OMAD now ! I loving it
That is real easy to do with Carnivore!
Thank you for the update! I'm glad it's going well, and I hope you continue to heal and feel great. You are a beautiful couple! 😊
Edited to add: LMBO-"Curry- you gotta hurry!!"
John here: Lol, just clownin. Thanks Jenny!
Thanks you both are awesome ❤
Thank you
My only issue is the meat industry. My wife and I go organic even though it is more expensive.
John here: one of the biggest threats to me eating meat is facebook videos of cows being cute on camera :) Don't like abused animals in any way.
I sometimes add a bunch of garlic sauteed mushrooms in butter on top of my steak.
I "liked" video. I bought into the carnivore diet theory/idea about 7 months ago. But, I am still in the transition stage, and, I expect it to be another year or two before I reach my goal. I have not had any problems or issues with it. I still eat some carbs when I feel like it. I feel a bit more energy than before. I had a bit of joint pain for about a week. I attribute that to working harder than before. I put a little bit of ketchup on ground beef to make it more appetizing. I can't imagine eating much more than a pound of meat a day. Maybe that's because I still eat some carbs...maybe 15% at this point. At my age, rapid, sweeping change (like the 30 day challenge) is not a good option for me. Thanks, for your video.
Great video guys
My wife needs to loose weight
So great to see this
Love your Channel Dot! Sorry to hear about the inflammation. Homemade chicken broth everyday for a couple of weeks seems to get rid of my joint pain flare ups and adema fairly reliably (Dr. Berg's channel can explain why). You probably already know about parsley being an amazing diarrhetic too. Hope you feel better soon Dot!
Check the FODMAP list. Use that as a base and add to it if you have reactions from foods.
Great video! Thanks for the update. I am a little confused on one point. from what I've heard on other channels both keto and the carnivore diet, are anti inflammatory. So I really don't understand why you should have an inflammatory problem with your hip. You were on keto for a long time before this, right?
Keto's not a magic bullet. I started getting my health problems when I was at the very bottom of my weight loss (lowest weight), and when I had the absolute minimal inflammation markers. Beautiful blood work. Then I got hurt, and started limping everywhere. Could be this set off a chain reaction which led to inflammation, or other things that aren't inflammation. We're still trying to figure out the problem.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving thanks for the reply. I hope they find out soon what's going on with your hip. I suffered from a similar problem with my hands a few years back and it can really mess up your day. Take care.
@@slyviewer99 I have an unstable hip from several falls before I went Keto. Keto stopped most of my other inflammation like arthritis, but not the unstable hip. According to my physio at the hospital, the unstable hip usually results from previous injury not healed, and does not reflect current inflammation. One muscle will be overtight and the tendon shortened and scarred. The other balancing muscle and tendon will be over stretched. Both muscles on that side of the hip are weaker than the other side. The brain remembers the original injury and doesn't tell the muscles to rebalance as its trying to protect the joint. Instead it gives you a pain feedback to tell you to stop exercising the joint to further protect from injury, keeping us in a cycle of unbalance + pain. The body has to be retrained by sustained slow stretches + strengthening to get that pair of muscle's correct balance back and teach the brain that we are no longer injured and its safe to move again. Chiropractic treatments at the same time may be required also. Its kind of a physical + brain issue rather than inflammation. Does that make sense?
@@tomjones2157 Yes it does. Makes perfect sense. thanks.
I find that I have so many questions what do y'all drink did you have to cut out coffee did how did you determine how much meat to eat I have so many questions I'm amazed that you all are doing this after doing so well on keto I find myself excited to see what the news diets going to be .
Stopping coffee is harder than we thought, lol. Weaning ourselves off :)
We didn't stop coffee/tea initially but found with the extra energy we naturally cut down on caffeine as the regular amount was getting us too wired. Now we enjoy a cup or two some days. Other days we don't bother. That's coming from a 3 - 5 cup a day habit.
I have been thinking about trying to do carnivore but was always scared of all the protein... dr’s always said it would hurt your kidneys... I have lost 50 on keto... but been at a stand still... n thought switching it up might help.... praying your hip gets better too... I got osteoarthritis n is why I went to keto has helped me a lot so I feel for ya... not in my hip yet but in my back hands neck n feet....
Keto then carnivore helped my kidneys, my blood tests have improved.
Too high protein can be an issue if you have kidney disease -- you need to be careful and talk to a doctor. I don't know that it actually damages healthy kidneys, but I say do your research. A lot of people with autoimmune issues have turned to Carnivore and seemed to greatly improve their health and eliminate their autoimmune symptoms.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving Rather than just "talking" about it, you could get lab tests before, then say two weeks after eating carnivore to check how kidney function impacted you on the diet. That's what I did and my function is WAY better with the higher protein. It may not have been, but getting the tests proved which way to go. Regular doctors don't actually know...some kidney patients actually are given HIGH protein diets.
Did you not get bored? I can’t imagine beef everyday and at every meal, and especially since I don’t like steak.
I thought I would but I don't get bored with the extra energy and health, as well as the time freed up not having to prepared, cook and wash all those dishes we used to eat. My girl likes to vary hers with adding a few olives or beef jerkey here and there. We still have the occasional glass of wine. My motto is "food is not entertainment".
Thanks for your reply. I guess for me food IS entertainment:-). I love to cook, eat and feed others. This would definitely not be sustainable for me but maybe something to try here and there to move off a plateau. Thanks again for your thorough review of the plan and your thoughts!
@@reginag7911 Hi, yes I was a foodie and liked to try everything under the sun and ate what I liked as I didn't gain weight. But in my 40's I went up 6 belt notches and my blood sugars were pre-diabetic and I got digestive issues. I loved to run and bike and hike but was always napping, too tired to do anything in the weekend and I was letting my family down. I decided to try Keto and in 2 months had lost the stomach fat and normalised blood sugars. I've now been on Carnivore 3 months and I feel stronger and healthier than in my 20's. We don't eat as much fancy food or comfort food now as we have a new focus. I can do a lot more round the house for my family and feel like doing more with them now.
Tom, sounds like you found your ideal eating plan! Keep up the good work and report back to let us know how you are doing..
Regina, it depends. John loves beef so having it everyday isn't a big deal to him. For me, I found that steaks everyday got real old. But I discovered I could eat ground beef everyday for every meal. I also wanted to add in pork, chicken and fish. I do like some variety and the budget dictated it as well!
Great video both of you! Dot, I also feel hungry after a couple hours of the popular keto formula 5%-70%-25%, and i m gonna stick with keto but do a higher protein less fat version and see if that satisfies me longer. When I'm doing 70% fat I'm eating way too much dairy in the form of heavy whipping cream sweetened with a water enhancer, I've become addicted to it almost and as a result i haven't lost weight and it also gives me a super high caloric intake. So..your video confirms to me what I'll be switching around. What I'm taking from this is that protein stays with you longer than fat alone does, but who know trial and error, right?
Thanks again
Awesome! Wait until we launch the next food challenge. I'm switching up my macros so it is high in protein via grams but fat is the higher percentage/calories. I'm tossing the 70% 25% 5% out the window for now.
Can't wait for the next challenge and see what your macros will be. I'm curious as to what your calories will be. I believe calories matter because my metabolism is extremely slow and I don't move much.
I don't eat spices as much as I love them - for me it is the nightshade portion of the spices flare my Fibromyalgia and Arthritis
Funny you mention that. Our next food challenge specifically deals with autoimmune problems. My doctor told my my arthritis isn't autoimmune, isn't genetic but no one knows what causes it. That just seems silly to me.
You guys are great ,but what with that few lbs of meat ? Who said that carnivore need to eat 4,5 lbs meat ? Yes protein reise sugar tu ,this is the reson Atkins did not work ,he did not take into consideratin that proteins rising sugar tu , less ten carbs but still ,I am on carnivore over a year with 2 breaks over holidays and I never ,ever eat 2 lbs of meat at once .
We miss you Dot! Where have you been?
Please don’t stop making video s by yourself..cooking 🍸🍸🍸💕💕💕
We're not stopping anything, no worries. We're just mixing it up a little.
I can't find you any later than 3 years ago. Do you still have your blog and are you well?
Doing good, but probably too lazy on the blog, and obviously not doing videos. Mainly gardening and taking care of my mom. Merry Christmas!
Could your hip problem be trocanteric (sp?) bursitis? Look into it, please. I had it and it is terrible. I couldn't even sleep on it. After, the bursitis, I developed severe osteoarthritis in both hips. I'm 12 years out from having both hips replaced. Best thing I ever did.
PS: I tried PT with the bursitis and it did not work at all. It only aggravated my hip, I developed a limp, and finally quit in disgust.
Hi Tribbles and thanks. Besides the osteoarthritis I have IT band syndrome which is greater trochanteric bursitis (my IT band is too tight) and I have tendonitis in my hamstring (causing my Achilles tendon pain). I'm sorry you had a bad time with PT. I'm finding that PT is helping with movement but I really have to keep up with the stretches multiple times daily. I feel better and can move pain free for about 3 hours after doing 40 minutes of stretching. I just have to do that stretching 3-4 times a day.
Your body's are using up your fat stores, So the reason your not eating that amount of meat atleast , one reason, is that your body is eating the extra calories on your body.
Was curious did you all go in to your physician and have complete blood work done and complete physical done. Also having your vitals, and A1c checked before you begin this carnivore diet? Just to have something to compare to when you go back in to physician for same visit later. And doing both these visits while fasting. You can see the outer physical changes. But how do you know if this diet is changing your blood work for better or worse? I'm just curious. I guess my main concern is positive or negative effects on heart, liver and kidney functions. By no means am I judging. I'm just curious. Love you Dot. Love your channel. Tamson😇💕
Good question. I'm in the process of changing doctors so I haven't done my 2019 physical yet. While I haven't done blood work before this challenge, I do check my keto and blood glucose levels regularly and I haven't seen any problems on that front and in fact saw improvements with glucose levels. But everyone is different and will respond differently. I will say that someone with kidney disease should talk with their doctor first before trying carnivore. More protein doesn't damage healthy kidneys, but it can cause serious problems if you already have kidney disease.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving Thank you Dot for your feedback. I wish you the very best with your progress. I continue to enjoy your channel. God Bless you and your husband. Love Tamson.😇👍
Been on ketogenic diet for. 3 months. Have lost weight but my hair. And eye lashes. Seem to of. Thinned a bit I have read this can happen. Some say take. Collagen powder dr berry said. You don’t have to Can anyone. Tell me. What I should or not do. To help. Hair and eyelashes. Improve. Please. I need some help.
I'm confused what exactly is the carport that and how do I start it
What about snacking I know you say you're not ever hungry but I'm always hungry if you do get hungry can you snack on anything
The last thing on our minds on carnivore was snacking, but I can see how a person might worry. Sadly, the only thing you can do on carnivore is eat more meat :) I mean that's sorta it. There is some data we're seeing about protein being more filling than fat, so it could help to eat more grams there.
But if needed maybe I could snack on a few bites of pepperoni or something like that? As long as it's just meat
If you're trying to control weight, definitely DON'T eat because 'your supposed to' I can only eat once a day at times just because I'm not hungry. I lost 20lbs in 3.5 months and didn't even realise it!
I try to eat only when hungry. When I don't do that it's because I'm stress eating and can't workout.
I have missed you are you ok?
I missed this😢no cream in coffee?
Maybe you should not eat if you are not hungry?! :-)
John here: normally I'd agree, but I do worry about getting in my nutrients. According to the doctors pushing carnivore, the meat has more to it than muscle -- nerves, capillaries, immune system structures, etc. These things offer up nutrients. So that's my main worry :)
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving Yes, that is understandable. You know best what is good for you. I would have suggested because of your gastrointestinal problems rather to do "normal" healthy keto with IF (very important) and to abstain from lectin-containing vegetables (see the book: the plant paradox). But maybe the carnivore diet will help for your gastrointestinal issues (for many it does) and the weight. In any case, I think it's great that you try it and report about it. Thank you for that :-) Thats really great. I appreciate. Greetings from Zurich 19:53 ;-)
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving I don't think you should be as concerned about nutrients if you've got plenty of stored fat. Also, try instead eating more offal, especially liver. I suggest checking out Vegetable Police on youtube. He suffered horribly from IBS. I think you should hear his story.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving Dr. Berg says to eat when you're hungry. You don't have to eat 3 meals a day. Some of his viewers eat once a day. It's a healthy keto diet however. Not carnevor. When you go back on just low carb you can try just eating when hungry.
@@Kleinochsenfurter I LOVE Dr. Berg!!! Keto is Amazing!!
So you have given up on doing keto and/or low carb?
No, this was just a 1 month challenge. For my husband, it could be permanent. We'll see.
Damn! Y’all ain’t lying about the up all night!.
Lots and lots of energy!
Dot2Trot's Low Carb Living yes that’s very true ahaha. I was up all night and didn’t realize it was already 4am and was still not tire and I was shocked
What's the next challenge!!??
Jumping right to the end of the book, hmm? :) It's a surprise lol.
the issues with spices could be due to nightshades
Look up Mikhaila Peterson shes all carnivore for years.
Yes, we know about her :) And her dad. Got his book.
You decide to buy half a steer, I can hook you up! 😊. We are beef farmers.
That is awesome!
Have you not noticed that your health is not going where you would like it stop these challenges you need a plant base life change. And you need fiber in your diet it helps your body to move.
You two are the cutest couple 💕
Thank you
Lovely couple.
Thank you
How do you flavor the meat?
Salt and pepper at the very least, but also any other spices we desire. There are carnivore purists who would have an issue with that, but even Shawn Baker shrugs at spices. If it helps you eat, great. My husband found the spices to be slightly off-putting when going full carnivore, where as I felt I needed them. And note: he normally loves spices.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving Yeah, I would have to flavor the meat some how, I'm not a huge meat eater. But Keto has stopped working for me, I need something to work with.
I thought you are in keto but I see by making so much keto you gain a lot or i am making mistake ? I am not trying to make you feel bad Only they say if you are in keto you always loose not gain .Please explain Thank you
There's a lot more to weight gain/loss than the diet we're on. In my case, I went into premature menopause after I'd lost the weight. Then there were injuries -- none due to keto, but rather age and other factors. Right now I'm experimenting with various ways of doing keto, and Carnivore is one of them. Cheers.
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving Thank you How ever you are such a beautiful woman and please do understand I did not make the common to make you feel bad and thank you so much for understanding I am gaining almost every day and was wondering if keto is for me .I was going to do it last year but got Kidney stone and my doctor recommend me not to do it until done with stone so as you see now i am in step one .Love you i always watched your chanel thank you for great work
Certain people can not really lose weight with keto because of dairy products, nuts, seeds.
Totally understand, and thank you :)
@@Anita-wh4vr Really I am so confuse with what is h going on some of my friends they did loose a lot with keto combined intermittent fasting Talking about 50-60 lb in 4-5 months But for some reason I am running to issue like kidney problem then i had problem with gluten then my sciatic nerve ....
No, you do not "gotta" eat! If you are not hungry, DON"T EAT!
