So, 59, all over the place...from not eating for 20 hours to eating 3 meals to being completely off the rails. My husband, full blown senior now, is looking at me like a wild woman. Who IS this person that lived in Ketoville for a few years, perfectly structured and controlled...influenced HIM a bit and lost fat as well...now we're BOTH all over the place. This video was centering. Two meals, meat based with lifting, along with my rebounding, could be the ticket to metabolic health. We need accountability...<br>Thanks Doc 💜

I'm 70 and obese. I spent a period of time on OMAD which I loved. It eliminated all the food noise, and did make life much simpler. However, I was unable to get enough protein in at 1 meal a day. I switched to 2 meals a day. And sometimes I still struggle with the protein issue. If I eat until I'm full at both meals, I get less than 100 grams of protein a day, most of the time. Overstuffing myself makes me feel horrible. So I'm now working on getting the most protein bang for my buck, while remaining in my budget, and still getting meat that I like to eat. This is an ongoing experiment for me, until I find the balance. I appreciate your videos so much, Dr. Hampton. Thank you.

A 67 year old woman on carnivore for 11 months. Still need to lose weight. I cannot eat enough in omad, so I happily eat three meals a day, sometimes two. Works for me now.

I'm gonna be 61 in September and I eat mainly fish and a little bit of pork, chicken, and beef. When I got my major stroke 3 years ago I was on OMAD and a large amount of beef and pork. I also weighed 270. I believe the CARNIVORE diet caused the stroke. My diet now has taken me to 186 lbs and have about 15 - 20 lbs left. My wife passed on 4/28/26 and I am still devastated by her passing. My weight loss will make her happy.

It's different for me, sometimes I can eat twice a day and sometimes once, it depends on how much I've been moving around, my body tells me when it's hungry. I've been a carnivore for almost four years and I'm 61 years old.

Everyone is different, this answers almost any diet question. That's why there is so much health gurus everywhere. There is simple no solution to fit all.

My husband is losing his belly fat after long time by eating one carnivore meal a day. He feels amazing and not hungry. I tried and it was a tragedy. A real Greek drama! 😂 For me carnivore 2mad forever.

OMAD + fasted training works great for me. On weekends I do 2MAD because it fits my social life & my relationship (brunch + dinner with the missus)

You nailed it! I am a 71 yo female. I like OMAD, but simply cannot get enough protein eating this way. I had to go with eating 2 meals in a four-hour window. I have lost 35 pounds, & have 10 more to go. However, these last 10 are proving to be very difficult to lose! Thank you so much for your wonderful videos!

Thank you Dr Hampton! I do 2mad, Omad and fasting depending on the day. I am 71 and still need to lose 80 lbs - the thing I need to work on is moving more!

5 month Carnivore with about 100 more to lose (lost 40), so some days eating window is 1 to 6 hours, with 72 hrs of sardine/salmon fasting each week to stress lower insulin resistance (I'm a Dr Boz underling in that area). I am 61 (retired) and I don't get hungry much and I get busy playing video games or stuff and don't care about eating. Food noise gone long before I started carnivore due to my gaming/programming activities, only thing I had to give up was my beloved Himalayan Salt Potato Chips while binge watching Asian Dramas.... new love is apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar in soda water... <br><br>Honestly, some days I can go all day without being hungry. I feel like I have to force myself to eat and it is just easier grabbing a can of sardines and a tablespoon of cold butter and a tablespoon of excellent EVOO and call it a day. I know, forgot which doctor explained this, but my body can get protein from the connective tissue around the fat that it uses for energy while in ketosis. I did not really start losing weight until I stopped trying to make sure I got 125 grams of protein per my height and weight goal. Now I think I get at least 50-75 grams of protein and plenty of fat. I think it means something that I am not overly hungry. Not sure I should do anything about it. Maybe once I am closer to my goal weight, and walking more, my body will ask for more food.<br><br>I started Carnivore because I woke up one day and my 2 knees where hurting... Quickly learned about the anti-nutrients in vegies and beans and nuts.. I had been learning to make my own nut milks and was eating my own vegie/meat ramen almost every day (mostly without or half the noodles)... just one meal. Did not have to tell me twice after I understood that the plants were trying to kill us.. LOL. Did not take long for the knees to get better and inflammation in my ankles to go down (did not know that is what that was). I even felt so good, I started going to my gym and walking my mom's dog (who I spoiled cause he got beef instead of dry dog food , dogs are carnivores too). Got my mom doing carnivore too. It has helped her get off of blood pressure meds and lower her A1C1 and simplified her life. The oxalates from all the juicing she was doing was killing her knees, which is why I had to take her dog for 3 weeks. She did her research and watched vids and was on board fast.<br><br>I've learned a lot from you and a few others and I agree that each person is different because of many factors. I love learning the science behind it all.
