how I lost 8lbs in 6 weeks (without feeling miserable)

how I am reversing my insulin resistance & NAFLD , finally losing my lower belly body fat, and leading a healthier lifestyle

I added an affiliate link to the top i'm wearing as well as a Berberine supplement. This is NOT the one I take, but one I see widely used. PLEASE consult with your doctor before taking and make sure you're a proper candidate for it.

Berberine made me violently ill. Like I felt like I was dying. Do not just take this. ❤

[tchiquita]

I love that you’ve finally got answers! Rooting for you on this journey ❤

[Daniela-ztst]

I started my journey in May and I am down almost 40lbs, now I’m soo excited to follow your journey!! ❤ keep it up :)

[lindseyhavniear]

Good for you Jaz, you look and hopefully feel incredible, so proud of you. Keep going and sharing what you are comfortable with

Love that she took the time to express something very personal that no one willing to talk about, I’ve been working on myself, trying to cut off soda and junk. All I know is I drink water throughout the day, one big meal whenever I get home from work.

if I’m working 12s then I end up snacking from vending machine but I’m trying to cut that out, just hard being on water only for 12 hours.

🥺 This is literally my story! I've been struggling with weight loss for years now! Same thing, eating clean 90% of the time, drinking a gallon of water, sleeping 8+ hour consistently, going to the gym 3-5 times a week, doing a workout program, etc. And I would have no progress and sometimes would experience weight gain, and it wasn't even muscle gain it was fat. I've seen multiple doctors saying I'm perfectly "healthy." Finally broke down and saw a nutritionists and I literally showed him my fitness app of all my logs: food, water, sleep, exercises! And he basically said he can't help me and that I'm doing everything correctly! Knowing something is off and having doctors saying otherwise is so defeating and messed with my mental health so much that I broke down cryint to the Nutritionist!
Thank you for making this video and sharing your story! I will be reaching out to this doctor and I pray that this helps and gives me a better understanding of whats going on in my body. I truly appreciate you taking the time to do this. 💕
Also you were one of the first fitness influencers I started following back in the day so it's so nice to see these kinds of videos! Thank you!

We all missed you, it's been too long. Obviously you post everything on IG, but the YT group still misses the updates. (I also just hit 49th month as a twitch sub. December i'll officially hit that 50 month mark. Crazy how time flies)

[AbbyMCDuplessis]

A huge thing I went through was doctors telling me to eat less and move more all the time. Finally saw a nurse practitioner who went through the same thing and she discovered I wasn’t eating nearly enough which made the insulin resistance worse. So glad you found what works for you!!

I’ve struggled with weight and cholesterol my whole life, and as someone that has hashimoto I was always told to just take my medication and eat normal. In two months of going animal based I’ve lost 18 lbs and my numbers have improved significantly!

[primalyogi]

This is so rad! So happy for you and that you're on the animal based train - I love the term "ancestral" based too!

Animal based eating helped heal my cravings and binge eating and I haven't eaten sweets like I used to in years! Every time I do feel a bit off, I lean into more steaks or ground beef and it feels like my body reroutes me and my blood sugar.

Congrats and thank you for sharing your journey 👏🏽

I was also diagnosed with NAFLD in September, I was told to stay away from saturated fat so that elimated dairy and most meat except for fish. I will schedule a test in feb to see if there are improvememts. I was also dianosed with diabetes and was told Metformin will increase insulin sensitivity. I have gone plantbased non-processed and lost 12 pounds in about 2 months. I am 6ft 238lbs now and my goal is 180lbs. I will kill for a Snickers right now.

[matcha_mage]

SO so happy for you that you finally found the answer!!! You're an angel for sharing this. I'm 5 ft 2 and I've been struggling with weight loss too - I have a history of yoyo dieting in my teens/early 20s (I just turned 30 this year too) and I've been fluctuating between 110lbs and 140lbs over the past 5 years.

Since gaining fat after my previous "body transformation" with a coach (which was really healthy to be fair but life got in the way and I gained all the weight back and more), I find it SO much harder to lose fat now despite following the same plan. Calories in and calories out is an oversimplification for sure.

As someone who did successfully lose fat through IIFYM and things like that before, I *know* it's not a case of moving more and eating less, and I had a feeling I was insulin-resistant. I'd loveee to see more content about your animal-based diet (what I eat in a week and things like that!) and the supplements you're taking💓

[brandeerodriguez]

8:06-8:22 is something that spoke to me on a soul level. As someone who has followed you since the beginning, during the height of fitness influencers. I feel that I have mentally gone through the same hoops with my weight. In that time I was already at the lowest with my weight but mentally the most unhealthy. From the outside looking in, I was eating in such a restrictive way. I have dieted so many times since then. Since 2020 I’ve gained 80 pounds and can’t mentally go through dieting again but I also can’t live in this body anymore

[stickysteph]

I've been doing animal based with a calorie deficit and it does really work. I have been animal basedish though, I'm including rice and steel cut oats when I feel like eating it. I don't bloat anymore and the food noise has almost completely gone away.

[hopebaker]

We have such similar journeys! I was having horrible PMS symptoms and just knew something was very off and so I went to a functional nutritionist. We did so much testing - blood and stool which showed my gut and glucose were so off. Started berberine and a couple other supplements, eating whole foods focusing on protein/cutting gluten dairy when possible/foods that would help my gut bacteria and it has been such a game changer. My PMS disappeared and I’m my lowest weight in 5 years, feeling so good! 👏🏻

[jennna]

Jasmine, I am so proud of you! The animal based lifestyle is awesome. It's helped my partner get off prescription pills & helped me get rid of my sugar cravings.

[AngelaMart]

I’m so happy for you!! I have been a long time follower and supporter and your current journey is very similar to mine. I just recently got diagnosed with some health issues and I am trying to find ways to lose the weight naturally before being able to be out on weight loss medication. Watching this video just gave me hope that things will work out as long as I stick to the plan. Please make more videos of your journey! 🙏🏻

[PrettyLittlePlantBased]

I am so freakin proud of you for NOT doing the weightloss shot. I mean you do you, BUT your lifestyle change is fabulous and that’s really where it’s at. Sustainable for life and such a great mindset. Go you girl! Insulin resistance is real for sure once that’s in check it’s a breeze!! So happy for you!! 😊❤

[Sar_bear]

Oh my God, this video helped me so much. I literally have the same issues as you and have been trying to help myself for years and its been such a shot in the dark. But I plan on going to see this doctor in my city who was recommended to me and I want to tell him to test my insulin because I think that's what the issue is. I've been struggling to lose weight for 5 years despite eating well and exercising and nothing works. My family also has a history of cancer and diabetes and also hypothyroidism... After watching this video, you inspired me to go see a doctor. I've been hesitant to see a doctor because all the doctors in the past have told me that I am fine and basically make me feel stupid and dramatic. I'm getting married next year and I want to lose 10 to 15lbs. Wish me luck!

Paul is a high intensity athlete and he was experiencing a lot of muscle cramps so he decided to add in fruit. It’s helped him a lot. I’m glad you mentioned him because I didn’t know he started the diet. I thought it was Dr Baker. Anyway, carnivore has cured a ton of illnesses for many people and has been credited for helping women who struggle with infertility because it rids your body of inflammation. A lot of people have said they’ve reversed their diabetes and heart disease on carnivore. It also stops sugar addiction. I’ve done it myself. I admire you for taking control of your health and trying something pretty cutting edge. It WILL change your life. ❤
