145: Stephen Thomas – The Carnivore Experience

Stephen Thomas  Hi there, I&#8217;m Coach Stephen, and I&#8217;m here to help you on your journey to optimal health. With a BSc (Hons) in physiology and health sciences, as well as a background in sport and conditioning science and the psychological aspects of athletic development, I&#8217;ve got the knowledge and skills to give you the tools you need to succeed. Also, as a specialist practitioner in Obesity and Diabetes, and a qualified phlebotomist, I&#8217;ve helped countless people achieve their health goals. My qualifications as a phlebotomist give me the knowledge and skills to draw blood safely and efficiently, while my specialist practitioner status in obesity and diabetes means that I have the expertise to help manage these conditions. And with over 500 five-star reviews on Revero and Facebook, and around 100 video success stories on my website and YouTube channel, I&#8217;m confident that my approach to eating gets results. Personally, I had to say goodbye to my high-carb, skim milk, orange juice lifestyle. Despite 50 years of not smoking or drinking, working out three times a week, and running three times a week, I still found myself fat, pre-diabetic, needing a colonoscopy, and with a CAC of 639. But with the right approach, you too can achieve optimal health.  &nbsp; Stephen&#8217;s Top Tips Cut out all the junk like seed oils, refined carbohydrates, sugars and artificial sweeteners. When carnivore &#8211; don’t undereat, eat plenty of food. Don’t worry about organ meats, eat what you like, eat a variety of what you enjoy. &nbsp; Resources Mentioned Meat RX – Dr Shawn Baker https://carnivore.diet   Richard Smith https://theketopro.com   X3 Bar https://www.jaquishbiomedical.com/x3-bar/ &nbsp; Quotes by Stephen Thomas “Nothing beats getting older and realising actually you got it all completely wrong.” “I thought this is it, it is all genetics.” “Even though I was the poster boy for the food guidelines and the low fat, don’t have salt, don’t have any red meat, make sure you have lots of fruit and veg, which I did. I didn’t smoke, I didn’t drink, I was an absolute state when it came to health.” “If people are looking to improve their health, it all starts with that one small step.” “The best time to train is when you can do it.” “Transitioning into carnivore took me years.” “If you are having cravings for things that you used to eat, that’s normally a sign of not eating enough.” “It’s very difficult to eat too much ribeye because it’s so satiating. It is very easy to eat too much yoghurt because it isn’t satiating.” “I love ribeyes and I didn’t eat a ribeye until I was 55 and I had never even seen one.” “When you are eating this more species appropriate diet, it does seem that your allergies change or they completely go.” &nbsp; Connect with Stephen Thomas on social media Instagram: www.instagram.com@theukcarnivore YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoachStephen &nbsp; Website Details: www.theukcarnivore.com &nbsp; App Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pgdjvg7q9fwv.pasvovw0lapp &nbsp; Apple</p
