Youtubing is hard, took me 6 months and one of my shorts got 192k views. I've stopped since, but loved the creating. I did use YT Buddy for algorithm, tags, description, and overall scheduling. Consistency is everything. Same time, same day, the right day for your audience, etc. I actually liked that aspect of it, to figure that out. I'd just need different content to work on. You've got good audio, good video, and your thumb nails pop out.

I've been saving a lot of money since on carnivore. No more buying crackers, cookies, chips, canned beans, granola bars, heaps of vegetables, brownie mix, bread, etc, etc. I look for discounted meat and freeze it. And @MirandaI too, save on toilet paper. And we all know toilet paper will become our next currency, as been tested during the covid times 😆. No, I am certain that for me, this diet has been much cheaper. No snacking here and there, not running in a gas station for a candy bar. It's not even close. You do NOT need the expensive meat either.

This is really what it's all about. Diet is an individual experience, and a diet such as carnivore, there's a lot of learning. Use what works, and discard what doesn't. The LMNT pouches are over-priced anyways. I use them, but only when needed, when working outside in the sun or another activity. I use regular supplements, but even those with caution. Good on you, for not giving up, but rather finding a solution that resulted in your fat-loss and riddance of your prescription drugs. Now that, is a victory.

Deep fried, I'd gather.

Fat is your fuel now. Always remember. Of course, you're going to have have with drawl symptoms as well from carb intake. Your body responds differently, chemically and hormonally to the foods you now eat. 60 to 90 days is what you need and you'll learn a ton in that time. Snacking is over now. Like other's have stated, 2 or 3 big meals should be your goal. Good luck.

There's going to be time needed for adaptation, I'd say a good 3 months. Also, check your electrolytes, salt intake, etc. Initially I lost a bit of oomph during workouts in the beginning, but that's now a non-issue, especially since I've addressed electrolytes and fat intake, since that is your new fuel. Keep adjusting. I have been working out for over 18 years now, I haven't found the diet somehow, spoiling my workouts, it just took some adjustment time and tweaking energy management and nutrient intake.

I do eat a lot of eggs, seafood scarcely, not much fresh sea food here in Ohio. Used to eat the herring straight out of the North Sea. Not a picky eater, fortunately.

I've heard it somewhere to mix both iodized salt and sea salt. Best of both worlds. I'm going to be honest, I do not worry about salt too much. Table salt or iodized salt, I use them interchangeably (That a word?), English is my second language, I could be wrong in terminology sometimes. Welcome to the forums and good luck on your journey. I've had over 30 years of chronic pain due to an auto immune disease that supposedly would put me into a wheel chair. Fun times.

Watching right now, and subbed, great job. Remember your treadmill, a friendly reminder! Do it now!

Damn, look at me being basic using iodized table salt. In the cheap white can from Walmart. I do have sea salt in the cupboard somewhere, any reason why I use that too?

So you are on the lion/carnivore diet, but drink vegan protein shakes?

I know it was all good, and thank you. Chronic pain will have you act before you have no choice, most people act when they have no other choice. To feel like 65 at 17 has led me to feel like 30 at 49.

And sometimes, I sound like a car salesman haha. With 31 years of chronic pain, one becomes an expert.

I am sure we all know that we are being conditioned to always be in strive, you'll be put in a category and expect you to defend that. Don't be in a tribe, don't identify yourself with what you eat. Just do what you do while being a universal mind, that can agree or disagree with a myriad of propositions, without becoming hateful. It is a distraction after all, this cultural thing. We live in a country that adds a TRILLION dollars of deficit every 100 days, we are witnessing a desperate attempt, to distract us from the notion, we are being goose stepped into a WW3 situation, to distract us from how recklessly our money was wasted for years to come, and how poorly we treat our veterans, distracting us from their attempts to poison us and our children. Do not place your selves in the trenches they are digging for you, keep spreading positivity, be the example.

I am here to shame you into using that treadmill. I won't stop until you do lol

Exercise is not mandatory for weight loss, true enough, it all happens in the kitchen. But exercise is a must for overall health. Bands are great for rotator cuff injuries, do a standing row, a pull back with bands, make sure your thumbs point backwards, and your elbows are at the height of your shoulders, make sure your shoulders are not rounded forward when you do that exercise. Another good exercise is a lateral pull down, it can also be done with bands. Bands provide constant resistance, but are not hard on you. Move ever so slowly.

Yes, keep on with the weights. So important for women over 30. When you do lose weight, you've got something nice waiting for you. Make sure you got enough water, electrolytes, etc. Losing weight is one thing, losing fat is a much better option. We do not want to lose muscle, for metabolic health, bone and joint health. Carnivore provides the required protein to do such things.

Run 1 minute, walk two minutes, do that for 20 minutes. That is how you quickly get into running without injury or discouragement. Do it until you are bored with it. Congratulations, you are a runner now.

I am 5'9 at 135 lbs. currently. I am 49 years old. This is not skin and bones if you work out. A matter of fact, I am ripped. I lost also 10% of body fat, I feel light and strong. People are too quick to say skin and bones in this fat society we live in. When you lose weight, you see the summation of what you've done (or not) to your body. It's an honest look, Much like when you are overweight. Hit the gym and see weight in a different light.

Bloating and lack of iodine are also connected.

The easiest diet to keep. Don't let looks deceive you. You'll never be hungry and eat like a king. Tell me what other diet, ie. cutting calories, is less torturous.

My goal is to exercise 5 times a week, slow and heavy lifting. Will get back into running.

You got this.

It's something I am willing to consider.

Sounds pretty tasty though....
