Hi and welcome, I'm so glad you're here! I'm a 62 yr old granny of 8, but I'm not ready for a rocking chair and gameshows! I obtained a Hippy Dippy degree online as a "Master Herbalist" when I was in my 50's, and love making tinctures and potions! I jokingly refer to myself as a "Witch Doctor". I'm also quite crafty and do a lot of DIY projects, and I'm always looking for ways to save money! My hubby and I will be retiring soon and we will be on a fixed income so I desperately need to learn how to cut corners! Our plan is to buy a van and start traveling! Also I'm a recent empty nester and I'm learning how to cope with that. Join me as I navigate through this chapter of my life!

Well done you!! I’ve only managed ketovore so far too :)
Snacking on nuts has been my downfall too many times. I had to give them up, with regret.
8 Months Carnivore here. The PG&E guy working on my meter asked how old I was, and I blew his mind saying I was turning 41 this year. He commented that I looked very fit for my age and it blew his mind when I told him it's thanks to carnivore. Also, saw Deadpool last night, home and in bed by 1130. Woke up at 545am, fully rested, no pains, and energy. Don't quit, you're doing it right!
Wow, it’s amazing to hear how the carnivore diet has had such a positive impact on your life! Staying fit and feeling energized at 41 is truly inspiring. Keep it up!
Good for you. the only way to find out if it works is to try it. Do not hate anybody, including yourself. starting carnivore is not easy. The hardest part is to let go of everything you thought you knew about dietary advice. Once you feel the benefits, everything will make sense.
Thank you for your encouraging words! It's so true that letting go of preconceived notions is tough, but it’s a journey worth taking.
Youre doing great! Keep up the great work!
I genuinely appreciate your encouragement! It means a lot to me.
When I saw your title I came to tell you that even if you hate me, I love you. I have been carnivore for over a year now. I have been on and off low carb for decades so I don't/didn't have diabetes, high blood pressure, depression or anything else that caused me to be medicated. I thought I felt pretty darn good being clean keto but, man, carnivore is a whole new level. I am 71 and started sprinting and lifting weights. I feel like a superwoman. I could go on and on about the benefits of carnivore even over keto. I would encourage you to stop saying that you are not a meat eater. Maybe you didn't used to be a meat eater but I would argue that now that's changed and you may now proudly proclaim, "I am a meat eater". Also watch Dr. Chaffee's video, the truth about cholesterol. Best of luck to you.
Thanks for sharing your journey! It's amazing to hear how much the carnivore diet has transformed your life. Your enthusiasm is truly inspiring!
Im not an expert, but i believe the cholesterol will help you synthesise vit D in sunlight if you don't wear any sunscreen. I used to avoid the sun, been out in it plenty the last week and never burned.
It's interesting how our bodies react to sunlight ! It's great to hear you're getting some sun exposure while enjoying the benefits of vitamin D.
We have been lied to all of our lives, but the internet has allowed information to be much more easily shared without the censorship of the government. The one thing I would say to anybody changing their diet, no matter what you are changing to, is to do it slowly. You stomach has developed a biome based on your diet and when you change suddenly, your stomach is going to give you all kinds of digestive issues until it adapts to your new eating habits. I take cheese sticks to work for snacking on. Just be sure to check the label because sometimes they add stuff that you probably don’t want to eat.
Thank you for sharing your insights! It’s so true that our stomachs need time to adjust. I appreciate your tip about checking labels-knowledge is power!
Hey it saved my life from diabetes and amputation Im still walking around I drink my Mct oil n coffee n totally skip breakfast I rarely eat at all before noon and eat what ever til 8 pm n go to bed Im not hungry either and I can cheat occasionally but long as I get back to it
Wow that's awesome to hear!! Thank you for sharing that!
Show the Bod! We will be the Judge! 😉
hahahaha not yet!
@@freeheartsmovement You look good enough now... I'll wait.
❤❤❤❤❤ there will always be times when it is hard because most of us have some sort of food addiction. Just know you are worth every step. If you "fall off the wagon," do not beat yourself up. There is a community that is here to support you on your Proper Human Diet journey. Anyone who is negative or ultra critical doesn't deserve your attention as they are obviously battling their own issues. You just keep pushing.
Thank you so much! The carnivore community has been so supportive and encouraging. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled across this!
I've never heard of at least 6 of those! 🤣
@@AnnTicipation18 Crazy huh?!
I started as ketovore slowly reducing non meat part. A year later, I am a brand new person. Keep it up. You look good already
Thank you for sharing that, it's very inspiring! And thank you!
Carnivore diet is the easiest diet ever. It just takes a strong desire to feel great everyday. The first two weeks are kind of difficult but after that it becomes easy breezy
It really is easy and you're right , the desire to feel great is the best motivator!
Three year carnivore here. This community loves you and welcomes you, carnivore or not. Keep going, you’re worth every hard step you take. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words!
It's amazing how easy carnivore is. I would have never believed it. And then I did it. I'm just 4 weeks in and not turning back!! Real food. Real health. Travel foods, we take beef sticks or carnivore snax. (They are real meat chips.) You look so happy!! Best to you!
Right?! It's thee easiest diet I've ever tried! Thank you so much!
Been on pseudo carnivoire (keto/carn)for 3 months and within the next 2 weeks expect to see a number on the scale i have not seen in 35 years! July was a hard month with 2 birthdays and a wedding but am back at it. Love no hunger pangs.
How wonderful for you! I don't know if I could handle a birthday party just yet so kudos to you!! No hunger pains is the best part !
You can do it. Just start slowly. Eat more meat and fat.
YT stuck this in my feed, and I had to see why you hated me! Phew. My why was my hands. Base of thumb arthritis. I started in October '23 to go lower oxalates and lower carbs. And I started watching gobs of YT videos. Discovered all the normal YT carnivore channels. Was losing weight and feeling a little better. But in Jan after eating a beef stroganoff meal minus the noodles, my gut had a fit and I decided to do carnivore as an elimination diet. Oh, please don't quit if your cholesterol goes up. It likely will! Go listen to Zoe Harcombe and Dr. Paul Mason. Mainstream docs just treat a number. Can recommend a whole bunch of other docs if you need reassurance. Best of luck. Enjoy that granddaughter!
7 years on the vegan diet ruined my health and destroyed my athletic body. I had pre-diabetes, Cushings Syndrome and autoimmune disorders. 3 month on Carnivore diet and I went from 37+" waistline to 32"! And lost ALL of my visceral fat. 2+ years on it and now 30" waistline, and six pack abs at 60 y.o. I'm back to my H.S. body. This is the true human diet. Cut out seed oils and carbs, starches, and all sugars including fruits and fructose.
OMG that's awesome and so inspiring! Thank you for commenting!
That title 😢
I'm just jealous!
You can do this!!!!
Thank you!

Thanks for the link, I will check that out.
90 day Carni today & reversing MS symptoms. WTG, keep up the great work. 👍
How wonderful! And thank you!
Great to hear you're feeling good! Good onya! You'll notice improvements in things you never thought you had a problem with! I try to let nothing sweet pass my lips - except a nice woman - I wish! I don't have any sugar cravings just stevia in my coffee which I need to stop, I know. I keep recommending the CD to my ex, but she reckons she can't eat much meat. She's had the jab, & cancer, so I warned her she has even more of a reason to go that way. I mean, in a way I don't care if she lives or dies, but she is the mother of my children, two of which still live with her. You've pretty much gotta forget everthing you were ever told about nutrition when it comes to the carnivore diet! Even salami or beef jerky is ok if you need a snack! - Or more meat! Nuts have oxalates. It'd be good to get off them if you can. Don't forget eggs too! They're the #2 best food you can eat!
Thank you do much for sharing all that! And you are so right about the oxalate, a carnivore friend gave me a book on that, who knew?! I'm learning so much! I love the fact that you want to share this with your ex because she is the mother of your children. That's what I mean when I say the carnivore community is so darn nice! Thanks again!
You’re a beautiful woman. Now you’re changing your body and mind and you’ll see a transformation that you’ll be so happy with. Keep it up and thanks for sharing. I’ve been doing this for 10 months now. I love it. Remember, it’s a slow walk. Don’t run. Results will be amazing
Thank you so much!! I love hearing from others who are doing this!!
❤❤❤ carni here since oct2019...youll get there
That's fantastic!! Thanks for the support!
I like to take King Oscar Sardines or Kipper Snacks (smoked fish) when I travel or work just in case I get hungry and don't want to wait. It doesn't happen often as I'm usually full, but it is a nice emergency food on the go.
Awww I need to get some sardines, I actually like them so thank you!
Very happy for you. Eating Carnivore has changed my life and resolved many medical problems, besides being at my 7th grade weight (I'm 57 now). I hope you have continued success. Be patient and it's okay to mess up if that happens. Just jump back on and keep going. And...you are a Carnivore now, even if you're having a few other added items. Mostly meat is a tremendous way to eat. The longer you eat this way, the more you'll become more disciplined. Best of luck to you.
Thank you so very much!! As I said it my previous video, the carnivore community has got to be thee most gracious community! You all have been so kind, so encouraging, I feel so fortunate to have stumbled onto this new to me way of eating. I just wish it hadn't taken me so long :)
I'm 66 years old and got on the Scale this morning , saw a number that I have not seen since I was 12 years old , 9 and 1/4 months Carnivore
@@paulhailey2537 that's fantastic! Thank you for sharing that!
@@freeheartsmovement 335/213 and still going
Great video and congrats on your decision. Don't be discouraged by the APPEARANCE that the KZread carnivores have it all together -- everyone's story is different and I think all of us have struggles before getting to that point. You won't find a more supportive community of people. I'm 18 months in carnivore but went through the same process you're going through now -- took me 18 months before I made the decision to go full on carnivore. Unless you're dealing with an imminent threat to your health, baby steps are the way to go. Be kind to yourself and wishing you great success. PS: Don't "quit" over BP or cholesterol numbers without more research -- there's more to both of those stories. ❤
@teslinjoe5938 thank you so much! I think it may take me a little longer than planned to switch over to complete carnivore, but that is the plan!
You remind me so much of myself. Everything you say in your videos is exactly what I said or how I felt when I first found carnivore. I've been carnivore for almost 3 months and like you I was not a meat eater. I wish I could afford to eat rib eyes every day, but I can't. I also can't eat hamburger meat every day. Not because of the cost but because I just got sick of eating it.I realized early on that if I was going to have any chance of doing this then I needed a variety. I eat red meat of course but I also eat chicken and chicken salad and tuna salad that I make with a zero-carb avocado mayo. I started making meat loaves because I realized how much more I enjoyed eating that instead of burgers. The point I'm trying to make is that everyone is different and you have to do what works for you. You look great! I can see the difference in your face already and if you're feeling good and losing weight then you're on the right track. Don't worry so much about being keto or carnivore. Lowering your carb intake and removing sugar and processed food is the only thing that really matters. Will I stay carnivore or end up ketovore, who knows. All I know is that I'll be eating healthier than I ever did in the last 57 years of my life. P.S. If you've never seen his videos, check out Dr. Eric Westman. You'll thank me for it, lol. Best of luck ❤
Wow thank you for sharing that! I love hearing from others who are having such success with this way of eating! I need your recipe for Avocado mayo! That sounds yummy!
@@freeheartsmovement I don't make the mayo, I buy it lol. It's from Chosen Foods. Classic mayo made from 100% pure avocado oil. Zero carbs,sugar and anything else that's bad.
@@AnnTicipation18 awesome, thank you!
I do see changes in your face, good changes 😊
Awwww thank you PR!
What a fun trip and your grandkids are adorable!
Thank you!
More than one way to split wood!! 😂
LOL right? My son was trying to teach them camping skills.
For electrolytes, I take 400mg of magnesium citrate at night and I add pink salt to my water. When I am fasting, I also add NoSalt to my water for the potassium.
Awesome ,thank you for sharing that.
Looks like a lot of fun, cute grandkids!!🏕
It was and thank you!
Carnivore definitely doesn’t make me feel good, but it does make me look good really ..
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s always valuable to hear different perspectives on how diets can impact us.
I wasn't a burger lover, and rarely ate steak, I would especially avoid the fat and my dogs would look forward to eating what I left behind. They are now very disappointed because my tastes have changed and the fat on the steak is now a treat. I never thought I would say that but I know my body is loving a high saturated animal fat, low carb zero sugar diet. I've lost 20 lbs in a couple of months and at 5'10"" and less that 200lbs, I didn't have a huge amount to lose. I have bags of energy and mental clarity. I recommend that you all try it for a couple of weeks, what do you have to lose. Keep on keeping on 🙂
Not everyone.....it's been over a year for me and I don't feel good at all. Yes, meat makes me happy, but it isn't alleviating the depression. I keep trying and I keep waiting...but I don't think it's going to happen for me. My scales have not gone down (at all) And no, my clothing sizes did not go down either.
@@ddunn32 I'm so sorry to hear that!
Same !!!! Meat only makes me feel disinterested in life sort of, apathy kinda …. but I am happy for the many people who get so manu benefits …
I don't take any electrolyte supplements. But, I do put lots of different quality salts on my food or sometimes in the water I'm drinking. I also add to the other salts a low sodium salt because it contains potassium and magnesium (no caking agents). But it's true, cramps can be a problem when you start this way of eating. You need to adjust your water intake (not enough and too much will get you cramps) and use lots of high quality salts.
LMNT is the best! I use it every other or every 3 days. If I doing lawn mowing or something more strenuous, I have it also.
thank you for commenting! I hear nothing but good things about LMNT so thank you!
Hi , I just got out of the hospital ( for only the 2nd time in 56 years) Unfortunately this was a doozie ! I was attacked on the street at a bus stop & after being struck on both sides of the head by a violent teen , I fell hard on the concrete & broke my left upper femur just below the ball joint.The pain was excruciating I could not lift my left leg at all and , if not for the kindness of 2 strangers & the quick response of the Philadelphia police and EMT unit I might not be able to write this at all..... Ironically I had fasted almost 2 days as I was working on some health issues & , as I was alone on the 4th & with all the country is currently going through I felt more like meditating & healing then just hedonistic hollow celebrations.The fast helped & I continued it though the next day vowing to try carnivore for a couple days , and , as the next day was a big block party I bought a big roll of hamburger for Saturday. As I was X rayed & was awaiting the confirmation of the break , I decided to do Reiki to ease the pain.A nurse actually knew what I was doing & encouraged me , turning off the TV & some lights & making things much more quiet. I got quite a shock when a young surgeon, seeing the x ray , said how long had I fasted & he said he was an intermittent faster himself. He said ,if you don't eat or drink he could get me in surgery within 12 hrs.I quicky agreed.He was better than his word , and I had a rod put in my leg with the operation starting in only 6 hrs ! I have a 5 +yr history of reversing my type II in 40 days using IF , low /no carb / Keto etc ..,..following an amputation of a gangerous R great toe in October of 2018.I lost 67 lbs in a few months.& kept it off. Since then I have lost another 35 or so prior to this latest oddessy.It was amazing how many docs / nurses / & other hospital folks KNOW the current low fat , high carb diet for diabetics is out rightly wrong ! Re electrolytes , a little Himalayan salt in plain water/ and /or a little fresh lemon juicé can help with that some may use a little kelp powder if you can stomach it.I , like you will do some full carnivore, fasting, meditation etc ...Good luckbto you❤ & urs...
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. It’s inspiring to see how you’ve turned such a tough experience into a lesson about health and healing. Wishing you continued success!
been carnivore for 3 days my morning sugar still blah blah lol spikes in the morning starts to go down around 12pm by 2-3pm its in the normal type 2 of about 120-140 till I wake back up again. just nice to be normal more hours of the day then before and to not be on insulin anymore. I be afraid if I took insulin I drop to low on the parts of the day its 120-140 which is about 16 hours of the day now. Heard it can take 6-8 months to get the morning sugars back to normal though. Not to worried about it have a cgm so I can see what spikes me and what does not and the biggest spikes I get now are morning and exercise which are both normalish as everyone spikes in the morning. I am more broken cause It takes hours to get back to normal instead of say 1-2 hours max like a metabolically healthy person would be.
Thank you for sharing that! I hope you have continued success on the carnivore diet!
Dont forget to eat your méat with a good Real salt ..
I understand that is especially important on this diet so thank you!
Go to oil guy carnivore
I am starting this way of eating again. I did it in 2019 for about 9 mo. and I was having wonderful results but I let the holidays be an excuse and then I let 2020 be an excuse. I love starches and sweets but I hate hoe they make me feel! Here's to us!
Forgive me for taking so long to respond! And I agree , I love starches and sweets but hate how they make me feel!
Have you ever read the book “fast feast repeat” to prove diets don’t work . But u eat all u want and go into fasting .
Interesting, I will check it out, thank you!
@@freeheartsmovement When on Carnivore you will fast anyway. You eat and can go without food very long time if you full. " So eat all you want " still depends on WHAT you eat. Futhermore, cancer eats sugar...not rocket science anymore. Good luck on your Carnivore journey and all the best from Sweden.
I use LMNT electrolytes...they are a little pricey but they are the only thi.g that helps with headaches , cramps or ligjt headedness i sometimes experience with this way of eating
I was just watching Lillie Kane and she was talking about LMNT, thank you! I need to check those out!
@@freeheartsmovement LMNT is convenient for traveling, but if you want something with completely clean ingredients, check out Redmond’s Re-Lyte, unflavored.
