Amen!

(What are “rolling” 48’s?)

@@GrammaPatriot 48hrs of fasting, followed by 48hrs of feasting, and repeat

@@plumbfia5436 ahh thank you!

Thank you! I might add that to my fasting

Does the 72 hour get easier with your fasting schedule? 2-3 day most challenging

​@littleminx79 fasting should reset your gut health, not hurt it. Just finished my first 5 day, and it was awesome! I do a 3 day fast every month. Benefits are amazing!

Don't do it too much because it can promote cancerous cells

@wenkyy what are you talking about? It's literally the complete opposite. Look up "autophagy". Please don't respond if you don't have the facts.

I’ve been doing IF for almost a year now. I usually do OMAD and then I randomly do longer fasts, however, I have never experienced this “I feel amazing!!” aspect to any of it. I drink plenty of water and have my electrolytes supplements ti get through it, but it’s down right miserable all the way around. I’ve never experienced the “mental clarity” others talk about. In fact, I often get brain fog, feel super weak, and by day 3 I feel like I’ll pass out. BS is normally in the 60s/70s at that point. I’ll even add in some fat, like butter, to extend it as long as possible, but I’m not going to lie… the fasting is absolutely hell for me. I’ve lost about 100 pounds since April of 23, so the diet is working. I’m zero carb carnivore the last few months. Before that I was keto, low carb (30g or less a day). Everyone is different - but let’s be honest …fasting just isn’t “awesome” for some people.

me too. i reversed my type 2 diabetes, from 21 A1c to 6.6. but i haven't lost any weight, still 230 lbs with 30% bmi.

Trying out the lunch to lunch thing right now. I’m feeling good so far.

I do breakfast to breakfast... works great for me

​@@lpsglitterpaws8536me too! It's my first concsious, 48hr fast. Let's go!! Let me see how I do.

totally agree 👍

Thank you

How often do you do the 72 hour fasts? I have done several and day 2 after the fast is when I feel the most health. I have been carnivore for near 2 years and thinking of doing 72 hour fasts once a month. I agree with you, so far I need to slow down and do it on a non busy three days

@colleendevere7491 Yeah that sounds great. I currently do one a month. But am considering increasing that to 2 per month. I do enjoy experimenting and trying new things. Especially when the benefits are this good

@@Bruce.Wallaceplease come back and let us know how your 2 72 hour fasts go, im thinking about doing 2 as well

@@mjdahlberg5740 Sure thing. It's been great. I'm getting pretty lean, so the third day is tough.

Same. I have been fasting for years and at first it was tough to cook for other but once I was in the groove it proved to be easy to cook and not eat.

Some use various herbal teas and bone broth during the fast. Helps a lot. The high you experience towards the end is worth it 🙂 good luck!

I’m menopausal too but there are many benefits to fasting aside from weight loss. Autophagy and hgf being the most valuable

I’m in the same place as you. I eat two meals a day. I can’t lose any weight. I did the carnivore diet for one week and I lost zero pounds. I’ve fasted for two days and lost no weight. I’m going to try the three day sardine challenge and see what happens. Im feeling a little apprehensive, but I also want to see if my body will produce ketones. Im starting on Friday. Wish me luck.

I've been doing the egg fast and it's helped me out of a stall. Best for me since I don't think I can eat sardines for 3 days 😂 I'm 62 5'2" 132 pounds. Would like to get to 125. 😊

Yes, you may need more than a couple wks to lose a lb depending on your body

To the OP, one of the biggest issues with losing weight on carnivore is under-eating. Because you lose a lot of the carb cravings when you remove them from your diet, you may feel full before you’ve had enough to even support your BMI, let along regular activity. I’m 56 and I weight 140. I’m 5’4” and I carry a lot of muscle. I don’t want to lose any of it, because I’ve worked hard to build it. I have to eat no less than 1500 calories a day, and I try to get more like 1800 or my body tries to hang onto extra weight because it feels like it’s being threatened with famine. As long as I eat enough normally, I can fast occasionally with zero issues. What you’re describing sounds like way too low in calories, unless you’re eating a really big steak every day.

Excellent advice. I tried to fast too quickly after my cycle and it was the worst fast ever. We need to eat plenty, especially those of us with heavy cycles that lose a lot of blood. Replenish the body first.

@@tb54321 Mindy Pelz has some great advice on fasting for women.

How many satchets do u have per fast day? Unflavoured ir flavoured plz?

Hahaha

Where do you get the ones you like? I haven't heard of them. I would like to try them Thanks

@@judithschneider6202 I buy them in a case from Amazon. They carry them at Walmart as well. Not cheap. The ones I mentioned above are a bit over $3 a can. But! They are small and tasty and very satiating. I am convinced they keep me full for the rest of the day after them and my meal. I honestly believe the Omega 3's are making me feel so much better, as well. Hope that helps. 🙂

@@rhondalyn100Super helpful & gives me great ideas & motivation!!! Thank You 🙏🏽😊

​@@rhondalyn100is olive oil ok with carnivore diet?

Curious if there is a specific reason for the order in which you eat these? Or is it just a preference thing? I'm asking as I heard start with fermented stuff, but maybe with carnivore diet, bone broth is best to break your fast?

was most likely the oil that caused the issues, most oils contain seed oils mixed in regardless of what the label says

Thanks for posting your success. I’m in the middle of my first 48 hr, But my 67 yr old body is fighting giving up its 150 lb storage of fat. Only 15 lbs lost since June 1st on carnivore & occasional 23 hour IF. I’m on a 30 day stall, and it’s beyond frustrating. On your eating days do you do one meal?

Thank you, that's about the best compliment I could ever receive.

Decided to try the carnivore diet and after a couple weeks, my blood sugar is averaging 98-100 without meds. I find videos like yours inspiring, and I don't feel a lone in my battle for a heathier me. Anyway, I do have issues with inflammation and will give your fasting method a try.

Good job 🎉🎉 How did it go?

Agree. I was on a 10 month stall after eating OMAD carnivore for last yr. Prior yr I had reversed t2d with keto vore , lost 80 lbs but it just stopped working. 2 weeks ago I decided to add another small meal, eat before 7 pm and voila....I've lost 6 lbs. Yay!!

I know you didn’t ask me, but I watch a lot of dr berg on KZfaq and he recommends MCT oil

I think you got the wrong community here. Fiber is a lie. Research fiber in the carnivore community

Some uber purists might disagree but most of us think it's fine and helps with fasting.
