Ways I stay lean, have better energy, detox my liver & stay metabolically flexible & healthy!
I stick to a primarily meat based, carnivore diet 99% of the time. If I eat carbs, I feel best with gluten free rice based foods like white rice & plain rice cakes. These are what my autoimmune symptoms & Crohn’s disease tolerate.
My macro nutrient ratios vary. I listen to my body. If I crave higher fat, then I l eat higher fat meat. If I don’t, I stick to leaner meat. If I feel like I need carbs, I do not deny myself, but eat appropriate portions primarily post workout. To control blood sugar & carb digestion I use @nuethix_formulations Gda-max pre meal (code: gdalilbitoffit )
I fast overnight on avg 16-20 hrs. I eat early in the day. My cut off for food is typically 2-4ish PM. Sometimes I’m not hungry after noon. I have gastroparesis & do not digest solid food later in the day well. Reason I don’t eat “dinners”
I feel better working out fasted. Eating heavy meals zaps energy for digestion so I’m intentional about meal timing for efficient energy management.
When my gastroparesis flares I choose lower carb/higher protein smoothies. I use Medipure DS from @nuethix_formulations as detox support/protein powder. (Discount code: lilbitoffit)
I eat protein FIRST always, especially when consuming a carb source. It slows the blood sugar, spike & acts as a buffer. Breakfast is my favorite meal & largest meal of the day in the mornings post workout.
I walk post meal & get sunlight everyday. I use my infrared sauna blanket daily & stick to natural products as much as possible. Red light therapy via my @emrtekinc light daily (discount code: lilbitoffit20) while eating breakfast in the mornings.
I minimize alcohol & artificial anything as much as possible. I keep coffee & caffeine to the mornings preworkout & post meal. I walk 15k+ steps/day & lift 3-5 days per week. Exercise is joy!

I so bad want to believe you. I feel like though I do my best on leaner meats and eating around 1200 calories a day but getting like at least 150gm of Protein. I feel that is they only way I see the scale go down. According to your scale my calories should be like 2300. I think you are probably right if I was consistent. It seems like the only way I can be consistent is going hard core. I started going to the YMCA and I do a body pump class a week. Then two zumba classes a week and another class where we do a lot of different things like body exercises. Trying to stay off the scale. It just seems like if I eat anything but meat I get easily inflamed. It is cool knowing that about my body just hard to accept long term. I do love all your information and I take it to heart. I am a slow learner. haha I do best with one on one coaching I think. I love you Katie and think you are the best. Your meat bars are the best thing to ever happen to me haha
