56 minutes Posted Sep 21, 2020 at 8:00 am.
] Ede shares her health history.
] In 2015 at age 44, Ede was feeling exhausted, in pain, and overweight, so she adopted a ketogenic diet. She lost 80 pounds on keto.
] Ede felt better on a ketogenic diet, but she felt even better upon adopting a carnivore diet in December 2017.
] Ede became passionate enough about the carnivore diet that she started YouTube and Instagram channels as "The Black Carnivore".
] Ede shares the timeline of her weight loss.
] Ede started carnivore with a "beef and butter" fast. Within 3 days, she felt phenomenal and felt major improvements in her breathing (she had asthma and allergies).
] Ede found that dairy was a trigger for her autoimmune and breathing issues.
] "So I had no more cheese after that, and I haven't used my inhaler since then."
] "My allergies had improved on keto, but now are just gone." She goes on to describe all the allergy drugs she no longer takes and mentions that she has also saved a lot of money by not needing those.
] Ede describes the ketogenic diet that she ate (50 grams of carbohydrate per day or below) and the carnivore diet that she eats now.
] Is butter also a trigger for Ede's health issues?
] How did Ede originally come across the idea of a low carb diet (which she had done at times even prior to her 2015 keto diet)?
] How have Ede's energy and mood been impacted by her dietary change?
] How has Ede's endometriosis responded to her dietary change? (Note: she has also utilized acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and surgery to address this condition.)
] On Ede's journey to health, what have some of the challenges been? Ede uses a great analogy to an alcoholic working in a bar here.
] How have Ede's family and friends reacted to Ede's health transformation?
] Does Ede consider herself cured of her conditions?
] Now that she has improved her health, what is one thing Ede enjoys doing that she couldn't do before?
] Ede lists her social media contact information ("The Black Carnivore") for Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.
] Ede emphasizes the importance of community in making dietary/lifestyle changes.
