Thank you Dr Berry! We appreciate everything you have done for the carnivore/ keto community. You are an inspiration and you have helped so many people take their health back including us! Thank you for all that you do! Carnivore IS the way! 🥩
Please don't anyone beat yourselves up about not eating grass fed, gold-plated meat products! Any meat/animal product is better than carbs, and if you can only afford the cheap stuff, you'll still be fine. Don't let any self-appointed carnivore police get you down😊
I agree! The only caveat would be those with immune disease. I have lupus and am diligent with organic, grass fed beef, vegetarian pork, pasture raised chicken, and pasture raised lamb. I tried Butcher Box four months ago and haven't had an out break since. If I didn't have lupus I would would have a problem with costs.
I like how sensible you are about your food items. Dr Berry emphasizes to do the best that you can on your budget. I can afford higher cuts of meat, but not everyone can. I have seen some carnivore youtubers tell you you can't eat lower cuts of meat. I really get upset about that. Eat the best that you can for your diet. I will occasionally use most of the non carnivore products that you talked about at the end. I drink coffee daily.And I also use a lot of spice. As you said, it helps me keep on this lifestyle. First time viewer, and I love the practicality.
I'm a big fan of sirloin steak and shell steak. I also love pre cooked rotisserie chicken. I'll usually eat half the chicken the way it is. Then use the other half to make chicken salad. And I use avocado oil mayonnaise for the chicken salad. My family keeps telling me that dairy fat and red meat is going to clog my arteries. The cardiologist they go to, tells them to stay away from red meat, eggs, and full fat dairy. It's really sad how many people are brainwashed
Do you make your own mayo? My recipe takes a minute. It calls for an emersion blender and a talk cup. Put an egg and a cup of your best oil into cup and blend it to great puffiness. Stir in your fave seasonings. Done and healthy.
@Julie-w8e I think that would depend heavily on the individual because cancer treatments can make it difficult for a person to eat in general, let alone slamming steaks. If I had lung cancer, I would personally be drinking broth every chance I get. Not regular broth. I throw a family pack of chicken thighs into my instant pot with 1 box of kitchen basics brand chicken broth (it has 10g protein per serving) and I pressure cook it for 25 minutes. I add things for flavor like ginger and parsley and garlic etc. They have medicinal benefits as well. I take the meat out, trash the bones and skin and I eat the meat separately or I add it back in with a bag of shredded carrots and whatever else I want in chicken soup. Bingeing with babish has a great video on beef bone broth. These broths are inexpensive and heal the gut. I would never say they heal lung cancer. But a person struggling to maintain nutrients would definitely benefit from bone broth
One of the best and most practical videos I have seen in this space! You both look great and inspire so many to stay focused on the PHD. Blessing to you all.
Of all the content creators for carnivore, you are my favorite. So many of them get super preachy and fanatical. You are a normal person who is trying to do her best for her family. I really appreciate it.
I add at least once a week sardines, liver, shrimp or some type of fish. Sometimes canned squid. None of these are expensive and can break up the diet but truly i have learned that eating isnt a dramatic thing anymore. I dont spend much time cooking or eating. Cleanup is easy and i have more time to do other things.
Thank you for an honest grocery list! I love the way you keep saying that it helps you sustain your carnivore diet. I like the way that you were saying that this particular thing is easy and helps you stay on track. You have given me some ideas that I think are going to be very helpful for me.
Consistency over perfection. What a DELIGHTFUL approach and attitude you have. Your video popped up in my feed, and I was interested, because I have a strict budget, too! It was cool to see your hubs loves Frank's Hot Sauce - it's our favorite, too. We're in Nova Scotia, and didn't know you had Frank's in the good old USA. We have a similar shopping list, though I usually buy goat cheese and parm. Love my cheddar, though, so it's an occasional treat. Thanks for the cream sauce tip. I will definitely be doing that, and soon. :) Re the eggs. I've been into nutrition for a long time (granny age, haha), and we have a consumer watch dog TV show called Marketplace. They did a program on eggs about 10 years ago, and had them analyzed by a lab. There were just regular eggs (barn/cage raised), "free range", organic, and pasture raised. The pasture raised eggs were higher in Omega-3 fatty acids, but yes, they are super expensive. The free range are no better than regular eggs from a barn, and organic is not a lot better unless they are pastured. That's because they get to eat bugs and greens, and not just grains. So, stick to the least expensive, which is what I do. Or at least until some long-lost relative leaves me a nest egg. As if! The Sam's Club chicken contains natural flavorings, which have maltodextrin (sugar), and corn flour (more sugar), and actual sugar. This is the reason it's eschewed by most, but like you said, that's not a super big deal in the grand scheme of your entire diet. As a side note, the flavoured pork rinds may contain MSG and other natural flavours again with the maltodextrin. We also buy the same brand! I only eat the plain because my body doesn't like MSG, but my partner is fine with the flavoured ones. I hope that was informative without sounding judgey ... because I think you are doing a great job. I just have a lot of information stored in this old brain. And you asked. Subbed because I love your energy, positivity, and want to be around for your 10th anniversary. Take care!
Mayo is easy to make- Avocado oil 1 egg Mustard Salt Immersion blender until blended. This is a base and can add other ingredients as desired. Better and cheaper than store bought
Every 2 weeks or so I get a pound and a half of either hard salami or pepperoni sandwich size sliced1/8 inch and 2 pounds of pepper jack sliced the same way in case I don't eat enough at my one meal. Keeps me from looking for bread and peanut butter at 10 pm.
Wow, great job!! I have had backyard hens for over 15 years, and pasture raised eggs are equivalent to the eggs that I get at home, with hens that forage and eat grass and treats from my garden. The yolks are bright orange to red/orange, and tastes so much richer. They definitely have more vitamins. When my girls aren't laying in the winter, and I have to buy eggs, I either buy pasture raised eggs, or if they aren't in my budget, I just get whatever is cheapest. Free range and cage free, are slightly better for the hens, but it's mostly a scam. They only have to have the smallest amount of outdoor space to be called free range. Pasture raised are actually on grass, and you get the health benefits from the eggs. I hope that helps! You both are super impressive!❤
@heatherj3030 Thank you; I was looking for this comment. :) Several years ago, I did an elimination diet to see what foods were impacting my immune system. Sadly, I found that I couldn't eat eggs and be healthy; at least temporarily. I was able to add eggs back in later, but ONLY the yolks and ONLY if pasture-raised. So, eggs are way expensive for me, but I still like to keep them on hand to "fill in the cracks," as the video said.
My girls decided to stop laying already here in Northern IL. But they laid so many in the summer that I ended up being able to freeze some (just cracked one egg in each muffin section of a silicone muffin pan and popped out). I am seriously hoping I don’t have to buy any this winter. But if I do it is always free range eggs.
Good for you. Im learning more and more, "Do NOT let perfect be the enemy of good." We often stop or never even get started because we feel we can not be perfect, but getting started on this journey and eliminating processed foods, sugars, sweeteners, and cards is leagues ahead of the SAD[diet].
Hi as a Carnivore who eats panda rubbed meat and eggs and dairy I loved your video. You said it many times and I wholeheartedly agree it’s best to do what works for you. If something you’re doing keeps you on track I think that’s great. Also I really appreciated your relaxed presentation. I think it’s way more important to be happy with your choices than to stress over every little thing. As you mentioned you’ve transformed your diet and found what works for you, I think that’s great. No one seemed mean in the comments and I’m glad for that for you. You seem to be doing great so keep doing you! 👍🏾✌🏾
@ She alludes to it in the video, so I was just kidding. But seriously what I mean is grass fed and finished, pasture raised eggs, chickens, heritage pork, etc. All the things. And you are right it is expensive. But I’ve always bought those products plus all the eating out, delivery, takeout, gas station snacks so even with cooking more for myself I’m still spending less on food than I use to. But just like she was saying I prioritize my budget. I’ve been eating carnivore for one year as of the 13th of this month. I’m fairly minimalist when it comes to clothes and household furnishings..
Thank you for your comment- it’s always a gamble wondering how a video like this will be received, and it seems that the message of “doing the best you can with the resources you have” came across. I’m glad you’re able to find such high quality products for your lifestyle as well! Thanks for watching. 💪
@@iheartpinkmochiDr. Ken Berry often jokes that any form of carnivore that you can afford to do is better than the standard diet, and you don't need grass-fed panda-massaged meat. 😅 😆
Great video on the things you buy every week chicken, beef, pork, eggs, cream and butter. Snacks, pork rinds, beef sticks and cheese sticks. Mustard hot sauce, coffee sugar free ketup avacado mayo and sugar free barbecue sauce. The only thing missing is fish, turkey and lamb still great video. The best ive seen so far on giving you a list of things to buy.
I’m on my own health journey and I love your attitude: I can’t afford $20 a dozen for pasture raised non-GMO eggs (The terms cage free and free range are a scam) or organic grass fed grass finished beef. 100%about doing the best you can within your budget. 14:59 Great video!
1lb of Ground turkey with Beef Boulion (1 tbp per cup of water as the flavor) is amazing as well. More variety and is literally the cheapest option. my brother and mother who hate ground turkey didn't even know and asked what it was. I lied and said it was different beef and later on told the truth. Now they eat it
Budget friendly carnivore items may not always be squeaky clean but it’s way healthier than eating an ultra processed SAD diet. Like Dr. Saladino & Dr. Berry preach…”don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”. BTW…those pork rinds w/Tajin is pronounced “Ta-heen”
I'm 14lbs down at want thank you guys I love your channel its nice to see normal people sharing there results don't stop i know running a channel and family can be hard but keep going
Yay🎉 I'm so happy I clicked on your video!!! I'm at the point of deciding when am I jumping in and going Carnivore. Your video makes this feel very very doable for me and praying I can get my Husband on board with me. I have 3 other Carnivore people I'm following and with all of you combined Yes this is happening 🎉❤😊
Beef, eggs, and butter! Oh, my! Love your video. I've experienced amazing results from the carnivore diet. Weight loss. Resolved stomach problems. Eradicated my knee pain plus much more. It's a great diet to follow. Just wish I had discovered it earlier!!!
Don't be discouraged by small failures. Just get back on track. I am about fifteen months in and when I eat off, I know it. I can even tell when I go out if there's some added ingredients I don't normally eat. Good luck, and it is well worth it. I never knew what full was until carnivore. 50# down at 68 yo 😊
@@karenstasik2979 thank you so much for your encouragement! I have definitely been surprised at how full I get now and I’m not thinking about food all day!
@anewdawnawaits5144 you will find that the volume of food that you eat over time lessons too. When I started, I could eat a whole ribeye and three eggs for breakfast. Now I'd be lucky to eat half a steak.
@@karenstasik2979 that’s the scariest part, it becomes very easy to literally under eat if you’re not paying attention. My wife still freaks out when I just roll into a 40+ fast because I’m just not hungry.
Love this. I wanted to share my Sam's find. I looked at the $38 box of Restaurant Bacon at Sams and took a chance. It's soooo good and cooks up crispy. I separate it and put it in large freezer bags, and it runs $3.90 a lb. I've never had a bad package. I'll never go back. Lasts me a good while, and I can layer the packages in the freezer versus a big box. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. 🎉
3:10 This is such a practical and helpful video for beginners! 🛒🥩 I love how you broke down the 12 essential items-so simple yet effective. Can’t wait to try this on my next grocery trip!
Okay... i am new to this. I am trying to heal a cranky gut. When you showed she whipping cream as a thickener i got excited! I absolutely love gravy. I have been gluten free for many years and then trying the carnivore route i assumed all forms of a gravy are out. Yup that is what's for dinner 😂
I am so glad that you found this video helpful! Another thickener I sometimes use for gravy that is not animal-based is xanthum gum. About 1/4 tsp to like a skillet / pan of gravy thickens it up almost like cornstarch or making a roux.
@CarmiGrayce carnivore mostly 6 years. Ribeye , salt , water. Repeat. Try to go a month on salt , meat, water. Air fry .You will feel amazing. No caffeine. I like coffee decaf. Healed all my ailments. Life is wonderful. Mid 50 . No gout. Arthritis. Poor sleep. Stable mood. The big one. Take care. Enjoy your journey to good health.
Carnivore 6 months. I make Swedish meatballs (beef & ground pork, a bit of spices) beef cream sauce (beef broth, butter, heavy cream a bit of xanthum gum) It's awesome!
Also the natural flavors could be just about anything. Not a huge deal just depends on how picky you are on clean ingredients. I'm only a month in and I am trying to be pretty selective on ingredients so I just remove the skin since those listed ingredients are a dry rub. Nice video!
Great video! We have been carnivore for 7 months and eat pretty much the same. No controversy! You eat what you can afford and if it's working don't worry about it. The best thing we did was buy a smoker in addition to the grill. I make all the dry rubs from scratch so no sugar or fillers. Also I make chaffles (cheese & egg waffles) for hamburger buns and tuna melts. Swedish meatballs (beef and grd pork) and beef cream sauce. It's motivating to see what other carnivores have on their menus other than steak!
And THIS is why you are my favorite person on my Carnivore journey!!! ❤❤❤❤❤Practical and low key……your results don’t lie…..keep going, you’ve got this!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great video as usual. Thank you! I buy the same black forest ham, except the larger pack. I agree with what you said about finding what works for you. I have used low carb tortillas the past couple weeks and I can tell it has stalled my weight a bit, so I gotta quit buying them.
I like your sensible approach to a healthy diet. You briefly showed a item your kids eat. Could you go more in depth on specific items that you like for kids. Like yogurt fruit snacks etc?
My youngest daughter she is 8 and meat sticks,cheese sticks is her jam . Never go wrong with it 😅. Im not sure why people dislike the cooked chicken my family loves it doesn't bother us so we enjoy them to on days we do our shopping. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the carnavore life style i loved it ❤
Happy this video popped up! Starting my diet january 1st! Just ordered lmnt with your code. Normal down to earth couple! Will be binge watching this channel!!
Love your videos. I know you are really busy - but if you have time could you tell me where you get your flavored coffee? I love that idea. I was drinking one that had some bad stuff in it. Thanks for your help. GOD BLESS ❤
Congratulations to both of you on your carnivore weight loss journey! I love how y’all put practicality over perfection. I do the same thing, and have lost 80 pounds this past year (with just 20 more to go until my goal), and my wife has lost over 30 pounds since August. Another “cheap meat” option is hot dogs. While most, like breakfast sausage, have a small amount of added sugar, they will usually include organ meats (nose to tail), which provide additional nutrients that are not in a classic steak. I personally don’t care for the flavor of organ meats, so hot dogs are an inexpensive way to include them in my diet. Finally, my wife & I go through a lot of bacon & eggs, so you’re spot on there! God bless y’all!
Strict carnivores don't like anything with seasonings (other than salt). So the seasonings and corn flour would be my guess as to what people think is wrong with getting the rotisserie chickens. The natural flavor listing can be a cover for sugars as well. If it works for y'all, that's all that really matters!
In Canada free range is a scam. There is a space outside but it is cement. So no acces to bugs or whorms.The food is inside, so even if they have acces to outside, the hens stay inside, all packed together.
Thank you for the wonderful budget friendly ideas! You both look amazing and are a great inspiration. Thank you for all your support in sharing your stories. 🥩
Oh my God, you are so wonderful, what a very interesting video the best I have seen so practical and honest. I am getting ready to start the carnivore diet and was worry about the same thing you just explained and I think I feel much better and ready to start my diet. Thank you very much and God bless you!!!
I use yellow mustard also. When making scrambled eggs, I add mustard to them while beating them. I like the taste. I used to eat mustard as a dip on potato chips.
The chicken rub contains corn flower which would make it keto instead of carnivore. Don't see any issue with it though as it's definitely a very low amount. For some ppl, even this little may have adverse effects, but if you guys don't notice anything, go for it.
with the air fryer chicken its just because the cheep seed oil they fry it in. carnivore for many is a elimination diet seed oils have a lot of issues in the body. much love thanks for the good content
Sugar is listed as an ingredient on the rotisserie so it's a nono. I also heard rotisserie chickens at the grocery are just whole chickens that have just expired or about to. So the cook it up for immediate sale
Just found your channel, it’s awesome, thank you! Just about to give carnivore a second try, and the stuff you make seems simple, but delicious. For your pork rind chicken, what dip are you using?
The pork rind chicken tenders I made my own with avacado oil may, g Hughes bbq sauce, and mustard. But I recently found a better Chick-fil-A dupe if you’re wanting a reallllly good sauce which is G Hughes Cluckin Chicken sauce. Soooo good and low carb (like 2g). If I’m feeling like a cheat meal that’s what I make cause it’s amazing.
There are microplastics in Kraft slices.. that are all surrounded by plastic Stay with blocks of cheese. Avoid shredded cheese it has more preservatives in it.
@@karenstasik2979Cellulose/potato starch - Adding cellulose or potato starch to pre-shredded cheese keeps it from sticking together and absorbs moisture in the bag. If you've pre-shredded a block of cheese and stuck it in a bag for future use, it tends to stick together and is not as easy to use in the shredded form.
Loved this video and the approach to Carnivore. Not all of us need to be lions. And we’re lucky. Thank you so much for all the time you invest in these videos!! Looking forward to more!
I love our individuality! I can’t stand ketchup but love Franks. I enjoy my coffee, but definitely no cinnamon in it. Mustard is forever. Great list. God bless.
Sugar and corn flour in the seasoning. But I think if you peel the seasoned skin off it should be alright. I think they use it to crisp the skin. But the meat should be fine.
The only thing I could think of for why people are controversial about the rotisserie chicken is maybe because that it has “natural flavors”…? I was just watching Dr Ken Beri talk about this, where many times that term is a way for companies to hide ingredients like sugar and other questionable things in the products. This may not be the case with this, but it is a little suspect when you think about it, why can’t they just list what those natural flavors are? 🤷♀️ just a thought! I think it’s a good option - great video!
Like others have already said eat what you can afford. As for the chicken it might be the yellow corn flower, and sugar. Some people on carnivore have zero and also don't use any or very little spices. Some just use salt and pepper or just salt. I personally need more than that unless it seem to bother me in someway. I am still not full carnivore either. I am working on it.
Great video! Congratulations on your success and thanks for sharing. I haven't seen a related comment yet, but "Tajín" is pronounced "Ta-HEEN." (The "j" is an "h" sound, and the stress is on the second syllable). 😊
Great list! G. Hughes sugar free sauces have been a life saver for my husband and I. I havent found them to cause inflammation in my body if used occasionally. I miss chinese food and G. Hughes Stir Fry sauce on some chicken hits that spot (maybe some skinny pasta on more of a ketovore diet). We have tried probably 7 of his sauces and only found one that we didnt like (polynesian). You gotta look all over the grocery store cause they dont stock all his sauces together.
I loved all those 'salad' things... potato, egg and chicken. Laura Spath has a great and easy chicken salad recipe. She uses canned chicken so you can always keep that on hand. And egg salad is pretty easy to figure out too. Sadly, I have not found carnivore friendly potatoes yet. Dr. Berry is a fan of Frank's Hot Sauce, so I wouldn't worry about that sauce so much. And I think he eats regular yellow mustard. Thanks for the deviled egg reminder. Love the smash burgers. a once-a-week staple, but I use a different cheese. Still all good!
Be sure to read the ingredients of the bacon. Most brands add sugar. Uncured and no sugar will be in the pkg and in the ingredients, will be no sugar whatsoever.
Excellent video!! Thanks 🙏🏽 for sharing. I’ve been experimenting with Carnivore but haven’t fully committed yet!! This inspires me to do so as I am a firm believer in it, just never could get passed having limited options, everything you mentioned I absolutely love so we going all in now…
Ive been carnivore for 3 yrs. You hit on all the products i eat except the rotisserie chicken. I make that myself. The store bought tends to make me sick.
I just call myself Ketovore so no one can complain when I eat green beans (Which I LOOOOVE) I'm about 95% carnivore, but I'm going to eat what I want, as long as my blood sugar level won't be impacted (diabetic) I'm also doing the best I can on my budget, and have eaten most of the things you said! (not coffee. Blech. But I do drink iced tea A LOT)
Carnivore is the Way. You guys are setting such a great example!

Good for you. Im learning more and more, "Do NOT let perfect be the enemy of good." We often stop or never even get started because we feel we can not be perfect, but getting started on this journey and eliminating processed foods, sugars, sweeteners, and cards is leagues ahead of the SAD[diet].
I agree! There’s no reason to wait for perfection! Just get started. 👏👏
Well said. You don't have to be perfect. I use sugar free ketchup and barbecue sauce. I've lost 100 lbs. Using these products.
both of you are doing great and looking amazing keep going!
Thank you! Will do!
Very well done, im pretty much doing the same things and IT WORKS !! People gotta be real . Living well and loving life ,all the best and cheers .
Your presentation is so engaging and simple. Love your input and I'm taking notes!
Aww thanks! Hope it was helpful.
Hi as a Carnivore who eats panda rubbed meat and eggs and dairy I loved your video. You said it many times and I wholeheartedly agree it’s best to do what works for you. If something you’re doing keeps you on track I think that’s great. Also I really appreciated your relaxed presentation. I think it’s way more important to be happy with your choices than to stress over every little thing. As you mentioned you’ve transformed your diet and found what works for you, I think that’s great. No one seemed mean in the comments and I’m glad for that for you. You seem to be doing great so keep doing you! 👍🏾✌🏾
What’s “panda rubbed meat”? 🐼 That sounds super expensive! 😝
@ She alludes to it in the video, so I was just kidding. But seriously what I mean is grass fed and finished, pasture raised eggs, chickens, heritage pork, etc. All the things. And you are right it is expensive. But I’ve always bought those products plus all the eating out, delivery, takeout, gas station snacks so even with cooking more for myself I’m still spending less on food than I use to. But just like she was saying I prioritize my budget. I’ve been eating carnivore for one year as of the 13th of this month. I’m fairly minimalist when it comes to clothes and household furnishings..
Thank you for your comment- it’s always a gamble wondering how a video like this will be received, and it seems that the message of “doing the best you can with the resources you have” came across.
I’m glad you’re able to find such high quality products for your lifestyle as well! Thanks for watching. 💪
@@iheartpinkmochiDr. Ken Berry often jokes that any form of carnivore that you can afford to do is better than the standard diet, and you don't need grass-fed panda-massaged meat. 😅 😆
Cheese is the thing that makes being Ketovore tolerable!!
Great video on the things you buy every week chicken, beef, pork, eggs, cream and butter. Snacks, pork rinds, beef sticks and cheese sticks. Mustard hot sauce, coffee sugar free ketup avacado mayo and sugar free barbecue sauce. The only thing missing is fish, turkey and lamb still great video. The best ive seen so far on giving you a list of things to buy.
I’m on my own health journey and I love your attitude: I can’t afford $20 a dozen for pasture raised non-GMO eggs (The terms cage free and free range are a scam) or organic grass fed grass finished beef. 100%about doing the best you can within your budget. 14:59
Great video!
Great tips for low budget carnivore. Good job!
Glad it was helpful!
1lb of Ground turkey with Beef Boulion (1 tbp per cup of water as the flavor) is amazing as well. More variety and is literally the cheapest option. my brother and mother who hate ground turkey didn't even know and asked what it was. I lied and said it was different beef and later on told the truth. Now they eat it
Budget friendly carnivore items may not always be squeaky clean but it’s way healthier than eating an ultra processed SAD diet. Like Dr. Saladino & Dr. Berry preach…”don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”. BTW…those pork rinds w/Tajin is pronounced “Ta-heen”
@@reggiedunlop2222 💯
I'm 14lbs down at want thank you guys I love your channel its nice to see normal people sharing there results don't stop i know running a channel and family can be hard but keep going
We’re so glad our channel is helping you! 😊
@carnivorecouple watching Jake Paul vs tyson eating beef jerky lol I wanted to say add intermittent fasting to your plan I do 16/8 it helps 😉
Yay🎉 I'm so happy I clicked on your video!!! I'm at the point of deciding when am I jumping in and going Carnivore. Your video makes this feel very very doable for me and praying I can get my Husband on board with me. I have 3 other Carnivore people I'm following and with all of you combined Yes this is happening 🎉❤😊
Anyone that gives you judgey comments, you are an example! Look how far you have come! Love this video, real life and affordable, thanks so much!
❤️❤️
Beef, eggs, and butter! Oh, my! Love your video. I've experienced amazing results from the carnivore diet. Weight loss. Resolved stomach problems. Eradicated my knee pain plus much more. It's a great diet to follow. Just wish I had discovered it earlier!!!
Wow, I really appreciate your videos.
I love cheese ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s great to see an influencer who is getting results, you are truly leading by example.
Thank you, I appreciate the support!
Thank you for this list! My husband and I are just starting out on our carnivore journey ❤
You got this! 💪👊
Don't be discouraged by small failures. Just get back on track. I am about fifteen months in and when I eat off, I know it. I can even tell when I go out if there's some added ingredients I don't normally eat. Good luck, and it is well worth it. I never knew what full was until carnivore. 50# down at 68 yo 😊
@@karenstasik2979 thank you so much for your encouragement! I have definitely been surprised at how full I get now and I’m not thinking about food all day!
@anewdawnawaits5144 you will find that the volume of food that you eat over time lessons too. When I started, I could eat a whole ribeye and three eggs for breakfast. Now I'd be lucky to eat half a steak.
@@karenstasik2979 that’s the scariest part, it becomes very easy to literally under eat if you’re not paying attention. My wife still freaks out when I just roll into a 40+ fast because I’m just not hungry.
I found that posting this around places helps me....
IF IT Doesn't CHALLENGE YOU IT WON'T CHANCE YOU 🎉❤
This was brilliant!! We are on the same page. I love that bbq sauce. Imma Ketovior/Carnivore kinda gal. 15 weeks today. I feel amazing!! 🎉
That’s awesome, 15 weeks is amazing! Keep it up! 💪
Love this. I wanted to share my Sam's find.
I looked at the $38 box of Restaurant Bacon at Sams and took a chance. It's soooo good and cooks up crispy. I separate it and put it in large freezer bags, and it runs $3.90 a lb. I've never had a bad package. I'll never go back. Lasts me a good while, and I can layer the packages in the freezer versus a big box.
Glad I stumbled upon your channel. 🎉
Thanks for the tip! I’m definitely going to check that out.
3:10 This is such a practical and helpful video for beginners! 🛒🥩 I love how you broke down the 12 essential items-so simple yet effective. Can’t wait to try this on my next grocery trip!
Thank y'all for this :-). I'm two weeks into Carnivore
Wonderful! Stay strong 💪
My friend Mike lost 140 lb. Eating market basket rotisserie chicken. Chinese chicken wings . That was years ago he still in shape
Okay... i am new to this. I am trying to heal a cranky gut. When you showed she whipping cream as a thickener i got excited! I absolutely love gravy. I have been gluten free for many years and then trying the carnivore route i assumed all forms of a gravy are out. Yup that is what's for dinner 😂
I am so glad that you found this video helpful! Another thickener I sometimes use for gravy that is not animal-based is xanthum gum. About 1/4 tsp to like a skillet / pan of gravy thickens it up almost like cornstarch or making a roux.
@carnivorecouple good to know! Thank you tons!!!
@CarmiGrayce carnivore mostly 6 years. Ribeye , salt , water. Repeat. Try to go a month on salt , meat, water. Air fry .You will feel amazing. No caffeine. I like coffee decaf. Healed all my ailments. Life is wonderful. Mid 50 . No gout. Arthritis. Poor sleep. Stable mood. The big one. Take care. Enjoy your journey to good health.
Carnivore 6 months. I make Swedish meatballs (beef & ground pork, a bit of spices) beef cream sauce (beef broth, butter, heavy cream a bit of xanthum gum) It's awesome!
For the chicken, it’s the yeast, corn flour, sugar and it’s preserved in plastic while staying warm. But, it’s better then a snickers lol
It definitely beats a snickers! 😂
I could eat 3 extra large snickers. So, relatable
Also the natural flavors could be just about anything. Not a huge deal just depends on how picky you are on clean ingredients. I'm only a month in and I am trying to be pretty selective on ingredients so I just remove the skin since those listed ingredients are a dry rub. Nice video!
thanks for pork rind nacho recipe that had never dawned on me had to subscribe
You got it! Glad you're enjoying the channel 👍
Great video! We have been carnivore for 7 months and eat pretty much the same. No controversy! You eat what you can afford and if it's working don't worry about it. The best thing we did was buy a smoker in addition to the grill. I make all the dry rubs from scratch so no sugar or fillers. Also I make chaffles (cheese & egg waffles) for hamburger buns and tuna melts. Swedish meatballs (beef and grd pork) and beef cream sauce. It's motivating to see what other carnivores have on their menus other than steak!
Yes!
This grocery list is a great help … Thank you!! 😍
You’re welcome! Hope it helps!
I use the grapefruit LMNT in the SodaStream carbonated water that I make at home. It’s delicious and helped me get off of Dt. Coke, my true addiction.
That sounds amazing and a great alternative to Diet Coke.
Making better choices! 😊🎉
And THIS is why you are my favorite person on my Carnivore journey!!! ❤❤❤❤❤Practical and low key……your results don’t lie…..keep going, you’ve got this!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great video as usual. Thank you! I buy the same black forest ham, except the larger pack. I agree with what you said about finding what works for you. I have used low carb tortillas the past couple weeks and I can tell it has stalled my weight a bit, so I gotta quit buying them.
@@Melissa-jq2qn can you get Egglifes at your market? They’re eggs whites that look like tortillas & they come in flavors. Fakes out the brain!
I like your sensible approach to a healthy diet. You briefly showed a item your kids eat. Could you go more in depth on specific items that you like for kids. Like yogurt fruit snacks etc?
My youngest daughter she is 8 and meat sticks,cheese sticks is her jam . Never go wrong with it 😅. Im not sure why people dislike the cooked chicken my family loves it doesn't bother us so we enjoy them to on days we do our shopping. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the carnavore life style i loved it ❤
That’s awesome that you have found a great way to enjoy the carnivore lifestyle with your family!
Happy this video popped up! Starting my diet january 1st! Just ordered lmnt with your code. Normal down to earth couple! Will be binge watching this channel!!
@@donny0007 you got this! Thank you for supporting us!
I'm a new viewer , thank you !
I like your flavored coffee trick! That’s a great idea for a compromise.
It’s been a lifesaver for me! 😂
Love your videos. I know you are really busy - but if you have time could you tell me where you get your flavored coffee? I love that idea. I was drinking one that had some bad stuff in it. Thanks for your help. GOD BLESS ❤
Congratulations to both of you on your carnivore weight loss journey!
I love how y’all put practicality over perfection. I do the same thing, and have lost 80 pounds this past year (with just 20 more to go until my goal), and my wife has lost over 30 pounds since August. Another “cheap meat” option is hot dogs. While most, like breakfast sausage, have a small amount of added sugar, they will usually include organ meats (nose to tail), which provide additional nutrients that are not in a classic steak. I personally don’t care for the flavor of organ meats, so hot dogs are an inexpensive way to include them in my diet.
Finally, my wife & I go through a lot of bacon & eggs, so you’re spot on there! God bless y’all!
@@jeff121inTN awesome! Keep it up! Thank you for the support and encouragement!
Strict carnivores don't like anything with seasonings (other than salt). So the seasonings and corn flour would be my guess as to what people think is wrong with getting the rotisserie chickens. The natural flavor listing can be a cover for sugars as well. If it works for y'all, that's all that really matters!
You are absolutely right! It’s a good reminder to check the ingredients on all our food items.
@@carnivorecoupleAnd remember, there are hundreds of names for “sugar”.
Yes. There were a few things on ingredients other than salt, but the percentage is probably minuscule
@@DebraRN1195Sugar is listed as an ingredient
Stil less than 1 carb..
In Canada free range is a scam. There is a space outside but it is cement. So no acces to bugs or whorms.The food is inside, so even if they have acces to outside, the hens stay inside, all packed together.
YESSS!! You have the right idea!! I use different sauces etc. to change it up and keep it funfor myself.
Lots of great info here! Thanks for sharing! Ditch those cheerios tho….they seriously are poison….☹️
A lot of rotisserie chickens are coated in seed oils to keep them from drying out which is why most people don't like them
Good to know.
I am just starting out, and this is great info. Thanks
You are so welcome!
Stone ground mustard and spicy mustard are nice, too.
Great tip, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for a great vlog! You are doing fabulous. I can tell that you are shrinking 🙂👍🙂
I eat basically the same, lost 45 lbs in 4 months. Blood pressure has gone down to normal and not using any meds now. ELMT is great
Thank you for the wonderful budget friendly ideas! You both look amazing and are a great inspiration. Thank you for all your support in sharing your stories. 🥩
You are so welcome!
Yeast extract is a form of MSG, and the corn flour is GMO. That’s my opinion on why people don’t recommend the rotisserie chicken.
Oh my God, you are so wonderful, what a very interesting video the best I have seen so practical and honest. I am getting ready to start the carnivore diet and was worry about the same thing you just explained and I think I feel much better and ready to start my diet. Thank you very much and God bless you!!!
You guys look great keep it up. I'll watch you for some added motivation.
Really great practical advice. Very helpful. Thank you.
Jimmy Dean sausage has sugar in it. Bob Evans sausage does not
Great job... so practical & helpful!😊
Go to costco or sams club And get a New York strip roll. Saves some serious money.
Love all the common sense, especially if a parson is just getting started. You are champions.🚀
I use yellow mustard also. When making scrambled eggs, I add mustard to them while beating them. I like the taste. I used to eat mustard as a dip on potato chips.
Interesting, I've never thought of doing eggs & mustard!
For sure, I couldn’t live without mustard.
The chicken rub contains corn flower which would make it keto instead of carnivore. Don't see any issue with it though as it's definitely a very low amount. For some ppl, even this little may have adverse effects, but if you guys don't notice anything, go for it.
I buy 32 burger patties (75-25) at Walmart for $27. Absolutely delicious. So much flavor!!!
Oh wow! Thanks for the tips.
My coffee since week three has been also adding two dashes of cinnamon two tablespoons of honey and butter and coconut oil
Cinnamon has lots of lead. Make sure you get a high quality organic one and research it before buying.
with the air fryer chicken its just because the cheep seed oil they fry it in. carnivore for many is a elimination diet seed oils have a lot of issues in the body. much love thanks for the good content
Sugar is listed as an ingredient on the rotisserie so it's a nono. I also heard rotisserie chickens at the grocery are just whole chickens that have just expired or about to. So the cook it up for immediate sale
Thank you! You are so pleasant to listen to..
We’re so glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
Just found your channel, it’s awesome, thank you! Just about to give carnivore a second try, and the stuff you make seems simple, but delicious.
For your pork rind chicken, what dip are you using?
The pork rind chicken tenders I made my own with avacado oil may, g Hughes bbq sauce, and mustard. But I recently found a better Chick-fil-A dupe if you’re wanting a reallllly good sauce which is G Hughes Cluckin Chicken sauce. Soooo good and low carb (like 2g). If I’m feeling like a cheat meal that’s what I make cause it’s amazing.

Thank you so much! I am jumping in. Most of these I already have on hand. Gonna go watch your recipe playlist.
So glad you have the essentials! You got this!
Love your voice! You both are doing super.
There are microplastics in Kraft slices.. that are all surrounded by plastic Stay with blocks of cheese. Avoid shredded cheese it has more preservatives in it.
And much of the shredded cheese has antibiotics in it to keep it from molding.
@@karenstasik2979Cellulose/potato starch - Adding cellulose or potato starch to pre-shredded cheese keeps it from sticking together and absorbs moisture in the bag. If you've pre-shredded a block of cheese and stuck it in a bag for future use, it tends to stick together and is not as easy to use in the shredded form.
i would get a dehydrator and make your own jerk strips instead of the processed sticks, plus will have no carbs
This was a great vid. Thanks for sharing with us. I appreciate the ideas & plan to use many of them! You both look great!!
You’re welcome! 😊
Loved this video and the approach to Carnivore. Not all of us need to be lions. And we’re lucky. Thank you so much for all the time you invest in these videos!! Looking forward to more!
We agree! You got this! 😊
I love our individuality! I can’t stand ketchup but love Franks. I enjoy my coffee, but definitely no cinnamon in it. Mustard is forever. Great list. God bless.
Sugar and corn flour in the seasoning. But I think if you peel the seasoned skin off it should be alright. I think they use it to crisp the skin. But the meat should be fine.
Sausage patties are a great idea. I need to get some wings and hotdogs as well.
Great ideas! We also love chicken wings in the air fryer
The only thing I could think of for why people are controversial about the rotisserie chicken is maybe because that it has “natural flavors”…? I was just watching Dr Ken Beri talk about this, where many times that term is a way for companies to hide ingredients like sugar and other questionable things in the products. This may not be the case with this, but it is a little suspect when you think about it, why can’t they just list what those natural flavors are? 🤷♀️ just a thought! I think it’s a good option - great video!
Like others have already said eat what you can afford. As for the chicken it might be the yellow corn flower, and sugar. Some people on carnivore have zero and also don't use any or very little spices. Some just use salt and pepper or just salt. I personally need more than that unless it seem to bother me in someway. I am still not full carnivore either. I am working on it.
Thank you . Very encouraging. Practical and simple.
Great video! Congratulations on your success and thanks for sharing.
I haven't seen a related comment yet, but "Tajín" is pronounced "Ta-HEEN." (The "j" is an "h" sound, and the stress is on the second syllable). 😊
Great list! G. Hughes sugar free sauces have been a life saver for my husband and I. I havent found them to cause inflammation in my body if used occasionally. I miss chinese food and G. Hughes Stir Fry sauce on some chicken hits that spot (maybe some skinny pasta on more of a ketovore diet). We have tried probably 7 of his sauces and only found one that we didnt like (polynesian). You gotta look all over the grocery store cause they dont stock all his sauces together.
I've been living in my vehicle. If you put foil underneath and across the top of the lunchbox that heats faster. Plus it's easier for cleanup
Thank you
Glad you found it helpful!
Excellent content!
I loved all those 'salad' things... potato, egg and chicken. Laura Spath has a great and easy chicken salad recipe. She uses canned chicken so you can always keep that on hand. And egg salad is pretty easy to figure out too. Sadly, I have not found carnivore friendly potatoes yet. Dr. Berry is a fan of Frank's Hot Sauce, so I wouldn't worry about that sauce so much. And I think he eats regular yellow mustard. Thanks for the deviled egg reminder. Love the smash burgers. a once-a-week staple, but I use a different cheese. Still all good!
I love Laura Spath too! Her chicken salad is so good.
Oh please oh please...someone invent carnivore-friendly potatoes! Only sort of kidding. :)
Be sure to read the ingredients of the bacon. Most brands add sugar.
Uncured and no sugar will be in the pkg and in the ingredients, will be no sugar whatsoever.
Excellent video!! Thanks 🙏🏽 for sharing. I’ve been experimenting with Carnivore but haven’t fully committed yet!! This inspires me to do so as I am a firm believer in it, just never could get passed having limited options, everything you mentioned I absolutely love so we going all in now…

I just call myself Ketovore so no one can complain when I eat green beans (Which I LOOOOVE) I'm about 95% carnivore, but I'm going to eat what I want, as long as my blood sugar level won't be impacted (diabetic) I'm also doing the best I can on my budget, and have eaten most of the things you said!
