My son broke his neck falling off a bicycle 20 years ago. Initially he wanted to die and ate and ate, hoping to die from sheer obesity. He is a quadriplegic so cannot move. He put on an enormous amount of weight and then on a day...realised that it's what you put in your mouth is up to you and your health or lack thereof. When he decided he wanted his health back, he lost 34 kilograms in 9 months. Being unable to move he lost the excess weight purely by what he ate. I'm so proud of him, and learn from my son about "life" on a daily basis.

Day 161 on Carnivore. No weight lost but feeling so much better. Hormones repairing, less inflammation, and more focus. Thankful for this community. ❤

A lot of times I feel like I’m failing because the scale goes up or stays the same. But then I look at myself in the mirror. I can see my collarbone now, my stomach is flatter and my muscles are more defined. I feel more energy

The scale doesn’t define my progress

[randypowell]

My normal day is three hard boiled eggs early afternoon and a big ribeye from Costco at least six days a week. Pork rinds once in a while. Been carnivore for seven months started seven months ago went from 200lbs down to 170lbs plus reversed type 2 diabetes

[angiej]

Real fresh fatty meat is the answer. No fasting here. Positivity is key. Not over or undereating. Lots of walking, too. Great list. 18+ years ZC

I didn't lose a pound for 6 months. People kept telling me that this diet wasn't working for me. I am now 7+ months in and now the weight is slowly coming off. My body needed time to heal. Prior to the carnivore diet I hardly slept with some nights I was logging less than an hour of total sleep. I am now consistently sleeping 5-6 hours with some nights I am getting 7+ hours a night. And yes, the only fruit I consume or rather choose to experience are the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5: 22-23.
Thank you Kelly for encouraging me and reminding me to press in as the breakthrough was literally just around the corner. ❤❤❤

I have a soft sided cooler that's compact and holds 2 long lasting freezer ice packs. I take water and some meat just in case. I live in HELL, really 115 +here in AZ so putting that in my purse is not an option. You just CANNOT preach this message enough. I know it has taken me 2 years to listen and adopt measures that break my long stalls. I have no means to join a group, so this generous free info is appreciated more than I can tell you. I journal everything everyday and I'm going to add a GOLD STAR chart like my Mom did for me as a little kid. Silly? Whoever cares. It's a fun reminder at the end of the day. I send you love and true 🙏 ❤

Hi Kelly, I never comment on your vids but just to hear you quoting scriptures is enough for me to pay attention to this great information that you are sharing. I often glean so much from watching your vids but today was definitely a home run for me. Thank you for sharing these nuggets with us. Thank you...Thank you!!

Experienced ketogenic dieter from May 2014 to January 2024. When starting carnivore, I took in 2 t-bones / day. Cut back to 1 medium ribeye and three egg omelet with Italian pecorino romano cheese. Had an 18 hour fasting window.

No weight loss results for FIVE months but I didn't throw in the towel.

This summer, I have lost 20 lbs. and 3 waist inches. I continue to see progress but I think my body was healing itself from a car accident I was in last November when I broke two ribs and think I had kidney damage.

14:23 a former pastor used to say, “a person with an experience is never at the mercy of someone with an opinion!” Not sure if he made it up but good words to live by. Love this video.

[AnnabellaRedwood]

I've been carnivore for 402 days now. I'm so much better now. I've had awesome weightloss. I think I've lost around 40 kgs. I'm off blood pressure medication and one diabetes tablet. My mental health is so much better. I'm no longer miserable. I am needing multiple surgeries. It's been very tough. . My doctor is also carnivore and he supports me. I'm listening to a lot of prayers to help me. God is helping me so much. Thank you Kelly for this. ❤❤❤

[carnivorecave]

Carnivore for over a year now and I can say it has changed my life...Yes there are challenges to get over, but it makes you learn your body's ability to heal itself...I have a testimony to say...

[rettaconnelly]

God provided carnivore WOE for me. The severe temptations and cravings I had on diets in the past are mostly gone. I’m thankful for the hope, joy, peace and self control I now have. ❤

[MRuth-eskf]

Yesterday marks 2 months since I started. I’ve done intermittent fasting as well as extended fasting, I’ve lost a size, gone down 3 clasps on my bra, my husband thinks I’ve lost 30 lbs but I don’t weigh. Just go off how I feel. I love how I feel when I fast!

[ShannonTara]

Thanks, Kelly. I love your chats. You could have said all of this over and over: my addiction to the sweet taste of stevia and too much butter in my coffee. My head could not hear any of that!!  I knew I had gained 10 pounds after two years on carnivore. Pretty much that is the only thing that woke me up. I thought I was a carnivore; I could eat butter like all the videos, and I did. For me, it did not work. Maybe it was the stevia? On June 18, I stopped stevia and did three days of sardines. The scale moved a bit. On July 4, I stopped butter in my coffee. I love coffee, or do I? Or do I love coffee? Butter and stevia that tastes more like pudding. It was an addictive behaviour. On July 5, I started eating just bacon and eggs during the day and roasted, smoked BBQ something at night. On July 25, I stopped dairy, no cream or milk in my coffee or sneaky cheese that works its way into my life. I locked it in a fridge drawer with a little combo lock that was difficult to open; that was enough for me to stop. On August 3, I lost 10 pounds. I eat until I am full three times a day. I also walk a bit. Whenever I need to go to the barm, it's 550 yards. I do that many times a day. Thanks for all you do, Kelly. I am just glad I am committed enough to my health not just to give up and say carnivore does not work for me. It was me doing the sabotaging of my diet.

Once again, Kelly, 💕👍😘. You really are my hero. Yes, I am stuck, yet again, though I must remind myself that I had two ultra-long stalls, one time a year, the second time was two years. But during those times, my body reshaped. I have lifted 7 lb weights and done leg exercises in bed for far longer than I've been mostly carnivore (5 years) but other exercise is just walking up and down the house steps to go to the barn to tend my chickens and the gardens. My midsection is actually showing abs for the first time in my entire life, though I am still about 10-15 lbs too high for my height. I wish I'd gotten the message two decades ago-I turn 68 in November and have been hypothyroid for about 25 years. So much heartache would have never happened! Three years ago, there was an accident that came close to taking my life when we were cutting down a tree on the property and I recovered quickly, did my own physical therapy and I credit my improved condition for the fast recovery. My surgeon was amazed. God Bless! ~Cynthia

[mommabear]

I’m not even a carnivore, but I just love you Kelly. You are the sweetest and so precious!

[ShelleyBergstrom-vepg]

Day 367. Feeling like a new person. Off all medication except bio identical hormones. I will be 60 next month and I feel like 30. Thanks for all you do!!

[jesslabbert]

I love your openness about your faith. Thank you for the Bible verses. Ultimately I eat this way to the Glory of God and it is leading me to overcoming carb addiction. Carnivore since Feb and still have a long way to go, but I have hope.

I'm six weeks in, hadn't noticed much change until I measured myself for a new sewing pattern - I last checked this out two months ago, and knocked five inches off my waist measurement. My doctor was talking surgery and I didn't want that for me. It's been an adjustment and there is so much to learn along the way.
