    🦩💕Happy Holidays Bella!💕🦩 This was a FANTASTIC video. This is what I needed to hear. Im still struggling with "how much fat" to eat and this was very clear. I have noticed that since adding cream into my mint tea in the morning that I am not as fatigued. Along with Dr Sean Omara's sprinting in the morning too. I know that everyone says watch out for heavy cream but, for some reason this is helping me vs eating butter.

    Hi Bella, I wanted to clarify something with you. The reason why I drink tea on carnvore diet is to prevent iron absorption from the meat because I have iron overload. This is a good subject to dig into and maybe talk about in a video as there is limited info on the subject. I also, follow Dr Mindy Pelz heavy metal detox video and use "binders" such as activated charcoal to eliminate the high iron in my body. I have to avoid sadly red meat and focus on chicken & pork (which have lower iron). I do eat red meat but, not everyday and some times not every week which I hate since I love steak & hamburgers. Iron overload is worse then iron deficiency because iron is a toxican to the body if you have too much. So this is why I drink tea. Tea has tannins that prevent iron absorption. I drink herbal teas with cream (cream for the fat to keep me full & to get my fat recommmend daily amount). The best test to find out if you have an iron deficiency or iron overload (like me) is a FERRITIN IRON test every young girl (teen), adult women, **pregnant women, men especially **elderly men should take this test. The standard iron test are junk and show only the iron in your blood vs the iron you store. NEVER supplement with iron until you get the Ferritin test results and consult a doctor for guidence so you dont end up with iron overload. Look up the symptoms of iron deficiency along with yt vids "iron deficiency stories" , "b12 deficiency stories" (which both are common for vegans) and "iron overload symptoms" plus dr berg has some vids & I think dr bery. There are over 100 symptoms for iron deficiency but typically you can only find 10 or so. With iron overload there is limited info on the net so this would make a great video for you maybe to do so that people with iron overload know they can still do carivore but, need to drink tea with their meals & take binders. But especial do a vid on low iron & iron deficiency. Many that get tested for iron deficiency with the junk test show in the "normal range' when infact they have low iron causing their exhaustion (which is the same symptom for iron overload). take care. @@SteakandButterGal

    My mom is visiting me for the holidays. She saw me eat straight butter. She told my 15 year old son she thought I was crazy. I just watched here eat Chick Fil-A and pour sugar on top of a fruit cup 🫣. I’m a 49 year old 9 month carnivore. Off hormone replacement (testosterone), off thyroid, off all my many allergy meds. Lost 30 pounds. Have energy and positive mentally. I’m very active. Lift weights, play tennis, walk. Take no meds. Have no medical problems. My mom has a long list of medical problems, 20+ meds a day, and her social life consists of going to doctors appointments. Her digestive system is broken with dumping syndrome (SIBO too) and she has to take digestive enzymes before and after every meal and has to stay close to a toilet. But I’m the crazy one!?!

    Just gonna drop this here note, cause well it's relevant to. In September 2017, I was diagnosed with end stage kidney failure, GFR of 5. Four years and one month later, October 2021, doctor tells me to stop dialysis for a month. In November it was confirmed. I had regained enough function to no longer need dialysis, and now on "hold" for transplant, and have been ever since. My diet consisted of grass fed local cows, rib eyes, New York strips. Bacon, bison, elk, salmon, alligator and even some quail in there. I did use some veggies and fruits, but mainly meat. So if there's any validity to the carnivore diet improving health, I'm it.

My only son is suffering nearly a year now on so many drugs & steroids he was diagnosed with FSGS rare kidney disease...he is not able for anything medical & has buried his head in the sand...He was told by the consultant from day 1 that its not diet related & this was so wrong..He is addicted to carbs he has been overweight since a child unfortunately I didn't know any better I was a young single parent alone... He was addicted to coke 😢😢 I don't know how to get through to him...I wish there was a a carnivore channel of someone sharing their story on how they have reversed kidney disease...I am carnivore 7wks hoping I can heal my own inflammation & anxiety so I can be an example for all my family.. My old eating disorders still haunt me but I'm determined to push forward ❤

    Finally hearing an underweight sick person saved by carnivore! I am myself underweight and haunted by all sorts of autoimmune diseases most of my life. I am currently on week3 of my carnivore journey. Having been having some improvements but not too significant yet, this sharing was so good that I learnt more about the fat I need, definitely go above 2 to 1 for me. Please have more variety of carnivore stories, I know obesity and diabetes are the biggest crowd and the most people will get benefit from. But this type of interviews from underweight people is also very important, we have many skinny to bone people needing help too❤

I dont feel hungry and can fast a lot easier than if I was on an all vegan diet. I was very sick for a long time and changing my diet helped to regenerate my tissues in a short amount of time. I was able to get back to being athletic and not sick and easily injured. That has just been my experience. I wish I changed it sooner.

    Kind of tearing up listening to her talk about the gross feeling of when you know your body is storing that fat from the carbs you ate and so on. I get that. Somehow, this gave me such peace about my concern of gaining weight with increasing my fat content. When adding in more fats, I never have that icky feeling in my body. I'm kind of blown away by this revelation and so my fear of weight gain is replaced by a curiousity of what will happen if I allow myself to embrace what "doesn't make me feel gross" while knowing I'm working to support my own body by doing so. Great talk!

I take a multi vitamin, drink LMNT electrolytes, and feel fantastic. Since just eating beef and butter my mind feels clear and sharp. I have started to clean the house, do projects....things I have not done in years. I sleep fully all night, and my back is feeling better. I have also lost 5 pounds in 5 days. OMG, I have found the way....!!! I MIGHT start to introduce eggs and bacon slowly, just to make sure that I dont have an aversion or negative reactions to either of them. Thank you for your videos, I think you are fantastic!! PS....I dont tell anyone what I am doing. I dont need negative input right now when I am starting to feel so good.

I truly doubt at 65 she'll be saying YOU NEED TO EAT 2500 CALORIES. Im leaning out slowly but 1600 is satiating for me of protein and fat.

    Need to mention also… I’m a type 1 diabetic who gained a ton of weight during menopause. Fat and protein absolutely affect blood sugar… Just over a much longer period of time. I have to dose for it, and it’s excruciatingly difficult to figure out. But I think I have finally done it! It just takes a lot of focus and effort. I still need to lose about 35 pounds and I’m 62 years old. I am low carb. But complex carbs in vegetables I do need at times, but they require very different dosing of insulin. If I go low I must eat fruit to raise it. Exercise also requires different dosing. Endocrinologists do not know this stuff in my experience. But I’m on my way😊.

    I'm in perimenopause, so getting there... I found a good video explaining in great detail, this subject. Its by 'Nutrition with Judy' and called 'how much to eat' or something like that. She has tons of experience working with menopausal carnivore or meat based women. Brilliant.

    23 years plant based. Started as a vegetarian, went raw for a few years, did only fruit for 9 months and then vegan for the last couple. I ended up with anemia. I had crashed that landed me in the ER, iron infusions that jacked me up. Could tolerate the injectafor it gave me phophotamia. Hematologist put me on strong iron pills. Developed grade b erosion in my stomach and esophagus. Always in pain could t eat shit. Finally had it and went back to eating meat. I ate steak for 3 months straight. I craved it. The whole time plant based never craved meat but nowadays it’s the opposite. Still eat veggies. Still had stomach issues. Went carnivore 2 months ago. Night and day. No pain. No stomach or esophagus issues. I eat steak, suet, eggs, occasional pork, chuck roast, butter beef ribs oh how I missed thee! I can feel my body healing, becoming strong and whole again. Hoping to get on my BHRT soon (estradiol and progesterone). But for now I persist and I am grateful ❤❤❤

    This seems to have gotten complicated when other people(like dr. Berry) say you don’t need to measure anything, just eat until you’re satisfied. What size steak weight is the proper size for protein grams? How much butter in cups is the proper grams? Some people (like me) need an episode done from the carnivore gurus entitled Carnivore for Dummies, because that would be me 😢

    I'm the same way, I use a Fitbit and a food tracker. The Fitbit will tell me how many calories I should eat and then from there I just take the number of calories, divided by 13, and that's how many grams of protein and how many grams of fat I should have. As for what size steak is the proper size for protein grams, it really depends on the cut of steak. Some steaks have higher protein and some steaks have higher fat. If you use a food tracking app you can figure out how to go from there. Like before I cook a steak I'll weigh it And then use my tracking app to put it in how much it weighs and what kind it is and it will tell me how much fat and protein. As for butter, check the nutrition on the side of the box. Some butters have more fat than others, and just go from there.

    Love that CIRS was discussed. I was diagnosed with it a year ago, and can totally relate to the "making it your identity" aspect. I really believe I was able to heal from it because I changed my mindset (still went through part of the protocol) I was still technically living in mold, so according to the shoemaker protocol, I shouldn't have been able to get better, but getting off CIRS support groups and calming down my limbic brain, and telling myself I would get better, allowed me to. Going meat based is my next step to fully heal my hormones and my brain.

The hard part for me is eating enough - my digestion just can’t handle larger meals. I feel tired and very irritable if I try to eat more. Typical day for me is 2-3 eggs for breakfast, 1/4 lb hamburger patty with goat cheese and butter for lunch. Usually not hungry at dinner, but force myself to eat a beef jerky stick and at least a few pork rinds. I’m 5’5”and weigh 115. I can barely get in 60 to 80 g of protein per day which I know I should be getting more! Any recommendations how to eat more greatly appreciated!🥰

Fasting is what got these amazing people thinner. They felt full from fat/protein and started eating less often.

    Hello Bella Thank you for the great work, keep going Sharing my opinion after 2 years on the Carnivora and ketogenic diet (2 years between dietary transition (removing complex carbohydrates (Natural) as I removed the industrialized ones on the first day of the dietary change) 1. Changing foods requires time for the body to begin adapting to new food consumption in this case (Protein and Fat) the body requires time to change its source of energy burning, because when we are eating carbohydrates our body is always in despair total. This can happen on a carnivorous or ketogenic diet, but in an intelligent way. 2. Every Body has a health problem to correct (No one is the same when it comes to health problems, even if they have the same disease) 3. Gaining weight or losing weight can be an easier task for some people, this is due to their body, which may have a problem in a certain organ. (Which was not diagnosed by laboratory tests) due to several factors 4. The beginning of the diet is very delicate, as we want to heal quickly, at least overnight, (We can start the improvement process when we change our diet on the first day, but we will not be cured overnight. It is not possible to cure years of a wrong diet in just a few days or even months or years, it depends on one body to another) Total transition I believe in around 5 years, For those who are only on the carnival diet along with the ketogenic diet, interspersing the two in the same period 5. Observing your evolution is very important, be it in the physical or mental aspect (Mental Energy, Relaxation in your daily activities, patience, emotional control, concentration, among others. Your physical energy, Desire to do some exercises, among others) even if it is moderate, the simple fact of walking, I don't do running exercise, I don't think it's healthy. due to several factors, one of which is that research has shown that most athletes who run and play football or do all the exercises that use the heart more have more heart attacks, perhaps because of the carbohydrates, etc... 6. The most important of all (Follow your Ancestral Food instinct, which was taken from humans) Which ? (When you want to eat more protein, eat, when you want to eat more fat, eat. When you don't want to eat, don't eat) Do you want to gain weight? Exercise with moderate weight I hope I contributed in some way

    As an athlete I’ve found that tracking is 100% necessary if you want to maintain strength and endurance. I’m at 1.5g of fat to protein. I didn’t realize the first couple times I tried carnivore how much more I needed to eat to meet my caloric intake. I’d eat 1.5lbs of ground beef and be so full I couldn’t eat any more for the rest of the day. But I realized I’d be at 1500-1800cal a day. No wonder I felt terrible. I maintain about 2500-2700cals a day now and I haven’t seen any decrease in performance not to mention I feel phenomenal.

    Can totally identify with the horror of conventional re-feeding for anorexia. I was very ill when I was hospitalised, my BMI was under 13, and I'd reached the very bottom in all ways. I wanted to get better, I wanted to live, and I ate everything they gave me, but it's hard to explain just how awful it felt. I got terrible oedema, I could feel the fluid under my skin, especially on the nape of my neck - the skin was so taut, it felt like a giant blister, and I honestly wondered if my skin would crack open. My gut was distended, my ankles were so swollen, and I couldn't even lie comfortably in a bed, let alone sleep. All that from being fed "healthy and balanced" meals (mostly carbs.) Anorexia isn't something you ever shake off completely, but after a lot of relapses, I think carnivore is the most effective treatment because you are forced to confront that pathological fear of fat and deal with it once and for all. When I started, my body just wanted butter really, it had been so starved for so long. I'm still craving butter a year into carnivore, and I can panic a bit when I find I've eaten 4 sticks in a day, but you just gotta remind yourself that it's not like sugar, it's not a drug, it's a nutrient, and if your body wants it in preference to protein there's a very good reason why.

    I think Dr Chaffee’s suggestion is better. Eat enough fat so your stool is not hard and dry. Using myself as an example I cannot process lots of fat. I have been eating this way for many years now and have tried to raise the level of fat, same result every time bubble gut followed by “loose stool”.

    Try having a small glass of water 20 min before you eat put 1tblsp of Apple cider vinegar in the water or juice. It will help you digest but greatly helps with the fat. Blessings ❤😊

    What about those of use who are undereating but NOT because were afraid of anything. Stop saying this is the only reason. I found protein so satiating that i just cant eat again for many hours (or even til the next day), just cannot bring myself to put more meat in my mouth. Nauseating

    You're right about the fear. I have a hard time getting my head around eating all that fat. When I've tried to up my fat, I feel like I'm getting fatter. Also, it's hard for me to eat big meals. I only eat twice a day, but still have a hard time putting down 2,400 calories--being a 5'6" male at 165lbs,

    You can totally due it with no epidural. While I did have one little thing of pain med for my first 6 never did an epidural. Just be sure for positions, bath if possible, walk, hands and knees, etc. My last 2 births were completely pain med free. Did delayed cord clamping until I felt the cord and did not feel it pulsing.
