Are you better off abstaining completely or learning to moderate? This is one of the most personal and powerful questions you can ask yourself when starting or continuing your Carnivore or Keto/Carnivore (Ketovore) journey.


In today’s video, I share my own experience navigating trigger foods, emotional eating, and how to know whether abstinence or moderation is right for you. For many of us over 50, with decades of dieting behind us, making peace with food means setting strong boundaries—or finally finding freedom through clarity and discipline.


We’ll cover:




  • How to identify your “trigger foods”




  • What moderation really looks like (and what it doesn’t)




  • Why abstinence might actually be easier




  • My tips for navigating social settings without derailing your progress




  • How mindset and awareness play a role in staying consistent
