Just found your channel. Been on carnivore for 6 months! Started at 285lbs I'm down to 225. My sleep apnea is gone and I don't snore anymore. My heart arythmia and high blood pressure is barely noticeable (used to bother me multiple times a day) and my astigmatism is much better! Congrats on the 1 month mark! This is when your body will be getting fat adapted and you notice many changes in the coming months!
Some very positive results there. 60 pounds! Wow. If I were to lose 60 pounds, I would be back to my 18 year old weight. While I didn't start this for weight, I must admit I am enjoying losing a few pounds, because my clothes are starting to fit me better again.
I had a lower back operation in 2005 and ever since then it was stiff and sometimes was very painful for a while where I had to lie down most of the time to rest it. Late 2018 I started carnivore but it made no difference to my back until November 2022 when I started making my own slow cooked stews (bone broth), I added steak, chuck or brisket meat into a slow cooker with a cup of vinegar and a small potato or onion and some soup bones, neck bones, back bones or marrow bones, cook it all for 12 to 18 hours and then I eat everything in the pot including the very soft bones (not many of these). No more back stiffness or pain since December 2022 and I can now sprint and run as well, I try to eat at least one of these stews a month.
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately my lower back pain is chronic and said to be permanent due to nerve damage resulting from a delay in surgery. However, your comment does give some home for the mid back problem I have had for most of my life now. I’ll definitely be trying one of those stews.
Hi, just found your channel. I am on day 5 and can feel the results. The only thing I'm worried about is that I have 1 black coffee a day and need cream in it. Also sparkling water I put a dash of lemon juice, do you think that's ok?
I’d be more concerned about the coffee than the cream. The answer I would have to say is “it depends”. It depends on your goals. Coffee is not animal based, but if you need coffee in order to keep you on the meat diet, then it’s not the worst. See how it goes for you and maybe try cut down on it. The lemon juice is probably no harm, but I suppose lots of small things add up to complicated. I use a lemon flavoured electrolyte tablet. Maybe this would be a better replacement for your water and real lemon squeeze. I used to do that too by the way. Good luck and keep going!
@@GladysMokgatleChange doesn’t always happen overnight. It can take years before you finally realise you are out of shape and in poor health. The frog in boiling water story comes to mind. Results should not be measured daily, or even weekly. Months and years is where life is at.
Speaking strictly not as a Doctor, or nutritionist, I would suggest that if you are both hungry and still losing weight, you should firstly eat more meat and secondly, make sure there is nothing else afoot. While I am sure the weight loss is related to positive change, you should check with your GP/Doc to make sure everything else is OK. I would suggest that perhaps you may not be getting enough fat in your beef intake, but I don’t know what you are eating exactly. I eat ribeye because it is fatty and delicious. Cooked in butter and seasoned in salt only. You need the high fat content to tell your body you have plenty to feed from. Be sure you are getting no carbs or sugars and that the meat is not processed. Try this and see how you get on. I’d love to hear back from you in a week or so.
Only about three weeks on carnivore, but aside of a terrible constipation followed by a moderate diarrhea, I noticed practically no change in blood pressure, blood glucose, weight, and anything else. I will stay on it for awhile but if there is no change, the why do it?
I’ve been fortunate with having no negative side effects of the diet and because of risk and side effects, I’ve always been flat against diets. The carnivore lifestyle just made a lot of sense to me, but the body sometimes needs an adjustment period. The recommended time to really give it a chance is 3 months. Why do it? Because you choose to and because there was a good reason for you choosing to. Consider how you are eating and what you are eating. Remember you need electrolytes and I take vitamin C too every day. It’s been working well so far. Good luck.
How many times a day do u eat and hoe big are the meals iv being looking at trying this mysrlf and ur doing great so far to be down 7.5kg in weight keep up the great work
I eat when hungry, which is usually two or three times daily. Sometimes more often in smaller amounts. My meals are as small as 2 eggs, or as large as 2 x 200g steaks. Of course meat is more filling. My advice is to be prepared before you start. Salt, electrolytes, good meats and consider any times you might find it challenging so you can plan ahead and work around. Eating at work, or on holiday/vacation for example could pose a challenge. I stop eating if it stops being delicious…..so not often during a meal 😊
@@GaryMeatsLife no fibre. Stays in your body and rots away. We are herbivores. Like gorillas, 1% cancer in the wild. Plant-based vegans have 4% cancer.

One month in myself. Down 25lbs and loving it. Reversing t2 and feel fantastic.
That's great news. The weight loss is a nice bonus and is effortless for now.
Im just going from keto to carnivore so good to hear about your progress!
My latest video was published on Wednesday. I’m sure your transition will be simple. Good luck with it.
I'm sorry to hear about your great Aunt.
Glad to hear your head and other symptoms cleared up/improved.
7 weeks carnivore doing well and enjoying it, you should do your scrambled eggs with butter instead of milk👌
I use both 😊

if you don't see any meaningful change, then why do it?

Hi Gary, Im 2 weeks in to the carnivore diet and I have lost 11lbs. But I find myself always hungry therefore consuming a lot of beef, is this normal?
