I agree! I lost weight initially but then I was having a ton of butter in my coffee and whipped cream and such and I gained the weight back. As soon as I cut that stuff back out, I lost even more weight than when I first went Keto. Calories add up really quickly! And it's easy to get fat naturally in the foods you're eating through meat etc.

We older women need exercise so much ,I agree with you . If I don’t exercise I get stiff and can’t do as much , I practise high steps and jumping off heights to keep me strong and agile

I was brainwashed eating a stick of butter per day. Did it for nearly a month and my body told to me to STOP! Was nauseous all the time with blood sugar rollercoster. I’m so happy I found you!

My mom was 100 lbs overweight injured her knee after a fall. This was 2 yrs ago she lost some weight then started walking and exercising. She's 68 now in great shape went from not walking to doing boot camp style work out classes. Excersize is good not bad.

This was the best conversation I’ve seen since being on my keto/carnivore journey! Thank you so much. Solved ALOT of confusion that is in the carnivore community discussions at the moment. Thank you 🙏

Been keto over 5 years now, just switched to ketovoire. I have never ate as much fat as was told. I always felt if you eat too much, you’re going to burn dietary fat opposed to stored fat. Glad to hear the protein angle….

Thanks for having Coach Dant on the show. He's the Man! Watching Maria in Hawaii brings back fond memory. My siblings and I grew up on Maui. As an endurance athlete, I've been completely fat-adapted for well over a year, thanks to carnivore. I run 100 miles a week (plus do battle ropes and kettlebells) on nothing but water and LMNT. BTW I'm 61 y.o. Thanks for all you do, Maria :-)

High fat carnivore helped me lose 55lb and reverse a lot of illness, now I’m stalling so trying the higher protein

I can’t eat a meal before working out at the gym, but I need something. I don’t eat fake protein shakes. I’m allergic to milk. So my pre workout is a cup of bone broth with a tablespoon of butter and MCT oil. This gives me the energy to push through a hard workout. Without it, I get dizzy and light headed at the gym. Can’t workout as hard, and am wrecked afterwards for most of the day.

Hi from Aus. I was one of those people overeating keto. Honestly I thought I’d read some good resources prior to finding you but nothing changed until I started following the macros on your calculator. I was shocked to see how much I was overeating gosh. Now 2 weeks into refining the macros and slipping in some PSMF, most of my inflammation is gone and can quite comfortably exercise AND recover better and faster than before. Can’t wait to see where this goes. Thank you so much 🙏

I heard all the "excuses" on a fat carnivore diet if you don't loose weight and in the end it is the clients fault. Excuses from: first you need to heal, carnivore is not a weightless diet, maybe you gained muscle, just eat more fat (is good for your hormones and thyroid, and only with the fat what is fuel and low protein you can loose weight). I waisted over a year. In the mean time I saw the protein content and didn't want to believe it, but it works. Always happy with all your content THNX!

I've just found you guys, I've seen Dr Ali talk about it- You've made it so clear, I'm working on my building muscle and not adding fat,I know now what to do , thank you so much ❤

I can’t do electrolytes. I tried the element tea and I love it, but it just made my face so puffy. I am just one of those people that cannot do electrolytes I don’t ever feel heavy. I don’t ever feel crampy I don’t ever feel lightheaded or weak. I never feel like I need electrolytes. I guess I’m just lucky that way everybody’s answer for everything is electrolytes and for some people it is not.

I think they say ‘Comfortably stuffed’ which is hard to decide for many people. I think the reasoning behind that, similar to ‘priming’ is because the people coming straight into keto/carnivore are used to always eating for their previous many decades so constantly on the hunt for food. They almost need to feel sick-full for 10-20 minutes after a meal to wake them up to realize what full actually feels like when using protein & fat only.

So excited to listen to this video. Just watched and learned about FSMF the other day, as I was curious. Have been eating a lot of butter which was fine for awhile, cause I started carnivore underweight, lean and fit, and post menopausal, to fix symptoms like no sleep and hot flashes. Wanted desperately to gain muscle mass but recently after a year and a half, started feeling fat gain, as well. Did FSMF yesterday and woke up already feeling lean again. So glad I circled back to you and watched your FSMF video with you and hubby. Have watched Bronson before and love him too. I feel there's more light at the end of this tunnel. I like being super lean with muscle and no flab. Had chubby days in my youth, UGH. I'm 60 and like feeling youthful. THANK YOU!!! ALOHA!!

IM with you all...got brainwashed with EAT 2 STICKS OF BUTTER A DAY!!! SOOOO UPSET

I did they eat one hungry eat till full thing and it worked for me very well. I think everybody’s different because the way you talk is not me that’s not how I have been doing it and it has worked for me.

How in the heck did I not see this video before? Thanks to both of you!

Thank you for the links in the show notes! Great interview and q & a. 😊

Really great conversation here! I get hung up on always being told I’m under eating. Like my 1350 calories with protein prioritized, it’s said to not be enough, when trying to lose weight. This is where I’ve had to test it out myself.

Thank you for this! I started following you years and years ago, then was diagnosed with RA and thought I needed to go vegan (ruined my health even more). Now I’ve been back keto/carnivore for a couple of years but was still having trouble knowing how much fat:protein I should eat even after using your macro calculator. I was also recently diagnosed with CIRS - the brain fog is real so that may have been why I was having trouble understanding. I am an appropriate weight but have always had excess fat around hips and thighs (may also be due to CIRS) and this finally cleared everything up for me! Thank you, thank you!

PSMF should be called MSMF (Muscle sparing modified fast) 😊

Just bought Bronson's book! Thanks❤

I met my first goal of 150 last October. Second goal 140. Down to 145 back up to 150

Fasting and Carnivore stopped my HUGE autoimmune disorder, 25 plus years of severe depression and anxiety in its tracks! I would have to disagree about fasting. 2 meals in a 6 hr period has worked really well for healing me. Not so much for weight loss but thats okay with me. That will eventually come.

I must be a freak. I am lean and gained strength in my lifts when I switched to a higher fat ratio. Also gained muscle. I average 100-110 grams of protein, which is over the 1 lb per lean mass for me. But, it’s the higher fat that did the trick for me. Demonstrates how our needs are unique.

thank you on that comment with adding salt when feeling constipaded on PSMF days. This has been my problem the entire time. I tend to feel constipaded when eating a low fat carnivore way ... i also struggle with corisol and suddenly high blood pressure. but only like for an hour and then it passes... i don´t know why this is... but it just occurs sometimes. I went from 83kg down to 73kg but now have stalled at 75kg... I will try to go more into a low fat way of eating now for most days during the week and see how that goes

This is FANTASTIC!!! You all have such down to earth advice with great sources of information. Thank you for sharing! #supergrateful

Awesome show and terrific info! Thanks so much!

Exercise I SWEAR is FOR mental health. ♥️♥️♥️💫♥️💫💫💫💫

Never saw this guy before. So thank you for this. Really informative and great tips.

I barely eat fat and do protein shake in morning probably eat too much protein 150 grams or so i weigh around 105 but my body craves and loves protein.

I avoid salt. I’m salt sensitive and I’m even on a water pill and I still swell up so bad if I have salt. I avoid it like everything. My face gets puffy my hands get puffy. If I keep my diet as bland as possible, I’m fine. And I never feel like I need a Electrolytes. I do salt my steak and my eggs a tiny bit but I avoid anything that has salt because the next day is miserable for me.

I guess and lucked out on not being obsessed with steak. I like it sparingly. It has never been my favorite meat. I have done keto off and on and finally decided to stop with the inconsistency so more ketovore these days. I plan to incorporate PSMF this coming week. My practical brain could never run with "eating until uncomfortably full." I feel like I'd already been doing that under the SAD most of my life. It seems unreasonable to me because being stuffed is literally overeating. I love butter and will cook with it, but eating sticks? Pass.

Fantastic conversation! Thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful information and inspiration! Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Vermont

I really hope you get to Ubud in Bali. It's the only reason I'll go back there now

How did I miss this? So great to have you all discuss! Thank you. I'm sure it's a bit late to ask, but I would love to know how Maria makes her morning Equip protein breakfast shake. I just made my THIRD batch of Pumpkin Protein Bars that you put out last week!! Delicious!

I eat 10 total grams or less of carbs a day. That was my question that Craig was answering about the sweet spot and the macros. I think I’m gonna go back to the calculator and try it one more time. I gained weight the first time. I feel like it’s a lot of calories for me. I’m 5” 8 1/2.

Hearing that coach Dan never measures his ketones is troublesome. Only because he said having too much in your bloodstream isn’t healthy. Wouldn’t that be a good idea to measure them once in a while just to make sure. I mean how can he know for sure if he never measures?

I’m just so confused on all the different ways of carnivore. I was on a program called optavia for over a year. I lost over 100 lbs doing that program. Eating every 3 hours of their product 5 times a day and one lean and green meal a day. Which consist of 4 to 7 grams of lean meat and 3 servings of veggies. I stopped the program a month ago because I wanted to stop eating prepackaged bio engineered food, and try carnivore. I’ve been eating the BBBE everyday and I just run to the bathroom right after every meal. I seen other videos saying eat butter eat butter . Ugh that’s not working lol. I have 30lbs I want to lose but actually I’m gaining weight. I’m going backwards. I seen you on another video with another person saying eat lean meats like Turkey , chicken, fish 3 days a week and then have a fat day. I’m gonna try that starting today. 😊 So should I go back to eating a small amount of vegetables that are low carb as well or not eat any veggies? I heard vegetables are trying to kill us from dr. Chaffee . So confused about this way of eating🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ hope you can help. I’ll watch all your videos to see what I can do.

This was so great! Please do again! Question in regards to minerals Craig & Maria....how does one really know if they are deficient in minerals? Hair analysis test, blood work, or both?

Great interview! I have been a carnivore for a year now. Gained 25 lbs through priming and eating Carnivore WOE. I was told to eat a stick of butter and as much as protein until satiated. I’m so sad that I’m unable to lose that stupid 25 lbs.

What a great video. Thank you!!

You make sooo much sense. I quit following everyone but you. 😊

Whew!!! What an outstanding conversation with all 3 of you! SOOOO GOOOD ❤

Great information. Thank you!

Amazing you! Love your info! But I am so confused about the higher protein and lower fat vs higher fats than protein! Am new on Carnivore Lyme disease and co-inhabitors have tried to destroy my body for most of my life and I wish I knew Carnivore! Much to repair after 66 yrs! I have tried it all now!

Awesome I love all of you guys. Keep blessing us. Thank you so much.

Great to hear this conversation. Do you both have any advice for me. I am prioritizing protein and finding it hard to digest after a few days of only meat. Feels like a rock in my gut. Any ideas?

I eat the French toast porridge everyday and love it. If i need more protein I will drink a PSMF Orange Julius (Maria's recipe) This is a great video.

This was very informative + enjoyable. Thanks y'all.

I’m way over eating but have been hitting protein goals so I guess that’s a positive just have to cut the other stuff out 😅 great calculator

wow 26 years Maria? How old you are??? Amazing... Keto spared my Muscle mass, I gained, i eat not a lot of protein, fats about 100 grams, I eat what i feel. Thats easy. I go in the mountains, recovery is amazing on keto, people, thats amazing! I want lose only fat, about 2-3 kilo more, I will make Marias keto with Protein fast. :D I will give a try!

What did coach Bronson mean when he said eating 120g of protein in one sitting is not ideal. He says that the body will max out at 60g and then it won’t know what to do with the rest. I don’t understand this .

Who is this guy? Did I miss the name? Looking forward to any video. Miss Maria puts out anyway! 😊

Thank You for this informations, greatings from Poland ❤

Now I'm confused. Protein isn't fuel but PSMF but don't eat fat but.... I need to research more. I don't count macros. I simply eat meat with occasional vegetables. I do eat dairy.

I just went on your website to do the Macro calculator. The first thing at once is my weight I don’t know what my way is I don’t use a scale. Scale is a liar. It does not tell the truth.

People should target a monthly weight loss goal that is realistic. For example, a realistic goal for a woman who has 50 pounds to lose would be 4-5 pounds per month. If using PSMF and moderate fat starts peeling the weight off too quickly then that’s a good signal to ease up and eat more fat for a few days (go to maintenance). I think people lose site of the fact that this is a permanent change in eating, not a diet. There’s really no reason to try to drop the weight at an unsafe rate. Be realistic!

Use kettle bells for strength Absolutely amazing

If eating fat makes us gain weight as well what’s difference in eating carbs ??? It’s just confusing… so much conflicting info … I’ve tried focusing on protein and nothing changed … gonna try psmf .. but still questioning if should cut out carbs or eat low fat after 🤷‍♀️

50:45 trick your thyroid?? What do you mean Maria!? Please tell me more! I'm trying to get rid of a thyroid nodule so you mentioning this is very interesting for me!!! And also...if you could do an entire video talking about thyroid it would be so so great!!!

I really have to careful with low sodium- hospitalized a couple of times because of it.

This was a great interview….interested in your audio book and March program…just realized this was 10 months ago??

Is butter coffee as the first ingested thing in the day, be detrimental to weight loss as it is not protein. Dr. Bright & Dr. Ken Berry both start their day this way

Yay for 50’s. So how can we speed up metabolism if we’ve been under eating?

Spring water for me!!!

Hi! 100 gr protein - is it net? I mean 100 gr of chicken breast will do for the day? Thank you!

I’m so upset with my self I when off the keto for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I try hard to get back on keto . It’s so hard now. What I’m doing wrong.. 😢😢😢

Hi Maria, are you doing a class this spring in WI? I am MN girl and would like to participate. lmk

Cut out all dairy, Too much fat makes me gain, so I upped the protein and downed the fat

Coach Bronson! Nice! This will be good...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hi Maria, I love your content. Question - I am 5'11 female and weigh about 126lbs and I eat A LOT of protein. I just find it so easy and don't need even use powders to make up the numbers and if anything I am overdoing it. My body fat % is about 22 and I am currently working on building muscle strength (like you😊) and body recomp. I try to aim for around 150g protein/ day but I usually go over and end up somewhere around 170-180g. Is this too much? I used to eat more fat but trying to dial it down to about 50-60g day to lose fat so my protein intake has shot up. Does this sound okay?

I know u are a no coffee but im loving my matcha the zen energy and i enjoy it.

I cannot sleep. Can you tell me how to sleep? 43 yo female, carnivore.

Ok ive been carnivore fod thhree years. My understanding to become fat adapted is eat.fatty meat. But alot of my carnivore beliefs have been high fat. So in regards to protien, whatscthe protocol fo become fat adapted. Just curious. Great video!

I eat alot of sea salt and redmond salt. I was told i can overdose on iodine and it may screw my thyroid. Please help

He was very interesting and helpful 🫡

I love ya!!! First time I hear, ketones not important :D I have also 0.3 about often, I thought is wrong... But i feel I burn fat, first - you burn fat, Beta oxidation yep? second when my body use ketones, there will be not a lot in blood. I love ya guys :D :

Oh man. My brain loves high fat.

How much is the Italy trip and when is it

Salt? Redmond?

I love you maria !!!

What is this man's name? He's awesome! ¡Gracias Maria!

You are so lucky I live in California I'm disabled and I can't go see the whales or the dolphins or any other ocean creatures that I would love to see so much so thank you for sharing that😊

I'm very interested in Italy trip. Can't find link.

Would love your take on Dr. Jason Fung and how he has cured many people from multiple diseases with fasting, intermittent to extended. I hear so many people say they have felt great fasting and have cured so many issues letting their bodies go into autophagy.

You are amazing.

Ok, how many Carb can you have on carnivore? I like cottage cheese and sour cream. Both has carbs in them. I just eat as condiments and not as meal . So is it ok to have at least 15-20 grams of carbs a day from animal stuff?

This is very informative. But how can someone who can only eat beef (no fish, no dairy, no poultry, nothing, only beef and salt) achieve that macros? Is this even possible? I tried to put very lean beef into calculator and if I am to get to 140grams of protein, I will exceed fat and kcal intake for SPMF.

90 protein per day is hard for me, always come with fat, so this macros are a little bit hard for me :/ and i dont want to eat chicken :/

Excellent information !!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤💪🥩💕💕

10 garms of carbs per day?

Curious to know what your blood is dropping to

Ok, Maria, i just come from Spain And France, people there eat a lot of bread, and coffee, and drink alcohol all day long, but they are skinny, and yes they walk a lot. so there your equation is loss. cheese? all day long. so I think we have a missing piece here, maybe move, maybe the type of food

Such gorgeous hair maria ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm new lost 12 pounds on 20 total carbs, have about 5 to go, still pre diabetic, labs are good, not fasting insulin, have a skinny cortisol body, still have a cortisol belly, what nook do I start with? I also have histamine intolerance so some foods I can't eat, please advise

Maria, what protein powder do you use?

Maria, for future videos can u turn your volume up a bit more. Your guest is much louder than you. We need to hear your pretty voice too!

Where do I find the injections Maria??
