Thank you for your post. Im always learning new things and ways to enhance my journey. Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

I appreciate you and thank you. I am a rip off the bandaide kinda woman.
My weight loss journey began December 2023. When I got serious about losing weight, my journey began with ozempic. When my insurance quit paying is when I stopped. I listened to Steak and Butter girl on Facebook. I then decided to do Carnivore Maech 2024. Lost approximately 10 lbs and gained few lbs and sometimes stalled. I continued carnivore but cut out the dairy. Weight loss is still slow, sometimes stalled. I then found and begun listening to carnivore talk. I joined and here I am. I have not had dairy in 6 months. I eat two meals per day. I eat first meal at 11 am and 2nd meal at 530-6 pm. I do not eat carbs or seed oils. Only fats I eat are real butter and tallow.

Hi Meathead. Thank you for your response. Just to clarify, Geezy is correct, I do have hormones and I am a post menapausal 63 yo female. SW 259 CW 230. My why is to lose weight and to heal my body. I do know from doing a lot of reading and listening to podcast and post from different sources, I know my body has to undo the damage and to heal before I can releases weight. I have seen benefits from this woe and so thankful. I just want to make sure I am doing carnivore correctly to get the best outcome. I've have listened to Kelly Hogan. I did not know about her online carnivore course. I will have to look and see if I can find it. I've started out dirty carnivore and after a couple of months of stalling, I cut out dairy. I now primarily eat beef, bacon, eggs and butter. I switch it up sometimes to other meats like chicken things, wings or salmon and shrimp. I was eating much more protein and much more fat prior to cutting back on dairy. But the weight loss was slow then too. I've been told to eat 2 fat to 1 protein. I've tried that as well. I am insulin resistant and I am sure this is causing the stall as well. Like I said I learn something new everyday.

Thank you Scott. Congratulations on your weight loss. 95 lbs is awesome. A little about my journey, first thing in the morning I typically will drink 16 ounces warm water with 10 drops of lemon essential oil and 1/4 tsp of Himalayan salt. I will usually get ready for the day and then will have butter coffee. I will have 16 ounces of coffee blended with 2 Tablespoons of kerrygold butter. Then around noon, will have my first meal. Usually 2 fried eggs with 3 strips of bacon. This will hold me until dinner around 5:30 pm. My starting weight is 259 and current weight is 230.

Hello everyone. I'm new to this group and fairly new to carnivore. I have been carnivore way of eating (woe) started October 2024. Started out a dirty carnivore. Eating predominantly anything with a face and some dairy. After 3 months of losing 10 lbs and then stalling I made the decision to cut out dairy. I have had more weight loss but keep stalling. Always looking for resources and like minded communities, I decided to join Carnivore talk. I struggle with the protein/fat ratio and the consumption of those on a daily basis. Looking for guidance.

I think Judy Cho is amazing, and agree on Bella, who's a bit more sensational.

Leftover ribeye from yesterday's grill session. We both ate early, around 10:30 am, so OMAD may not happen today. I'll be consuming a 1/2 cup L-reuteri yogurt for sure. I was reading some pubmed pages last night about the positive effects of L-reuteri yogurt and intermittent fasting on MS. I'm always searching for my "personal cure for MS"

I just saw this:
 

Yep, that will contribute as well.

Found the link. It didn't come up in search, I think it may have been unlisted. It's in one of her playlists.

Everyone is different. What one experiences another may not.
It could be that her youth at the time may have contributed or maybe autophagy just worked better in her. She also didn’t lose her weight fast. It took her six months before she even started to lose weight. The younger one is the easier they seem to snap back.
We cannot compare ourselves to what others have experienced. That’s a bad road to go down because it can lead to disappointment.
I’m in my late sixties and I lost 67 pounds in a year and a half. Thats pretty fast. Being obese that left behind a lot of loose skin. Has autophagy helped me? Maybe a little bit even if it hasn’t there’s nothing I can do about it short of surgery and I’m just not that vain.
What’s important is my heath not my loose skin so I’m not worried about it. Nobody but my wife needs to see me naked anyways.

Understood things are different and possibly more difficult for females > males.
I'm insulin resistant still after 11 months but I'm less concerned about weight
than I am about my health.
I had 1 foot in the grave the other on a banana peel before I started.
My WHY is wanting to be here for my wife and furbaby.
Took me 5+ decades to make bad choices I don't expect to
have overnight success (but I have had it starting out).
Stay the path, don't get discouraged as the scale is not the end all be all,
our body will show changes in inches and less swelling/pain/inflammation.

Cheers

Welcome Lala.
As Scott said we are all individuals so don’t judge yourself against anyone else who eats this way.
Being female you have a disadvantage because of your hormones. Sorry but that’s just how it is. But persistence and determination will see you there eventually. I like to use Kelly Hogan as an example. She didn’t lose weight for six months. The thing is, she realized that this is not a weight loss diet. It’s a lifestyle way of eating to heal the metabolism. She was also willing to experiment to find what worked best for her. She does on line counseling that may be beneficial for you.
From your description it sounds like you are eating ok but maybe not enough. I’d starve only eating a couple of eggs and three strips of bacon at one meal. That doesn’t even whet my appetite. I just finished eating my one meal for the day of 16 oz of smoked lamb with a half a stick of butter and I’m not satisfied yet. I’ll be getting some more lamb in just a minute and if that isn’t enough I’ll probably cook up 4-6 eggs.
If you don’t eat enough your body can go into starvation mode and refuse to use any stored fat. If you aren’t eating enough fat and too much protein your body can create its own glucose and use it first for energy instead of stored fat.
If you haven’t already I would get the book The Carnivore Diet by Dr. Shawn Baker in book form or Audible. He does a really good job of explaining everything you need to know to do this correctly and why we should eat this way.
Good luck and good health
