Raw milk is S-tier for me. I've been carnivore since 2019 and tried almost every version of this diet imaginable. Around six months ago I started adding raw milk, and it has made a huge difference. I used to get gnawing little cravings; not carb cravings but something else. I was deficient in something and I would forage around the house looking for things to snack on. Once I added raw milk this went away completely. I drink 1-2 quarts of goat's milk per day and couldn't feel better. My carnivore diet was incomplete without it.
It might be the calcium. Do you eat bones regularly? I personally don't tolerate any form of dairy, and certainly not plain milk, but I do get cravings for cheese when I haven't eaten bones for several days.
@@patrickgililov3239 Maybe, I dunno. I don't eat a lot of bones but afaik the meat that I eat daily should have more than enough calcium. Whatever it is, raw milk fixes it so raw milk is here to stay. How do you eat your bones?
@@charleschristianson2730 I simply gnaw on them like a dog. For bones I mostly eat raw lamb ribs, vertebrae and shoulder blades, which are all relatively small. In many parts of the world chewing on bones is still a very common practice. It takes a little patience, but it offers great nutrition and taste, plus a great jaw workout.
@@charleschristianson2730I’d suggest bone in sardines if you want to get some calcium from food. Another option is to grind up egg shells into a powder and you can add that to anything, they are almost pure calcium carbonate. Or just stick to raw milk :D
used to eat a lot of lamb… but more recently found it didn’t agree with me…. Basically beef for all means now…. Didn’t plan on a lion diet… but there you go…
I’m in the same boat. I didn’t start this journey to be so strict. But now I eat beef, salt, water. At least my beef is varied. Bone marrow, organs, etc. But fatty cow meat lol and absolutely nothing else.
Does it make a difference for you..if it’s aged or not? For some people, it does & they recommend BillyDoe Meats which is online in the USA. Their meats are not aged at all.
What I found out on carnivore is that while trying to lose weight consuming all the butter and fat stopped my weight loss cold. After thinking about it for a while it made no sense to consume what I was trying to lose. Was counter productive. What I did was to eat lean cuts of beef fry the bacon to crisp and pat the fat off and eat a few eggs boiled and not fried in butter. And goes without saying I didn't eat butter. What happened was I lost fat like mad. Not giving my body the fat it usually got. To my surprise I didn't starve to death in a week. What happened was I started got the exact calories I needed to survive didn't have to count anything. I was up to 230g of lean Protein a day and the fat I just relied on my body using the stored fat it needed to make up the deficit calories. I just ate lean protein and my body took care of the rest. And eating over 200g of protein a day no way you go hungry you are had pressed to eat that amount. I lost weight at a staggering pace.. and after a few months THEN I had to start adding fat and butter to my diet to keep the weight stable. If you want to lose weight consume the fat off your body not your plate. I mean really does it make any sense to eat a pound of butter a day? Why not skip the butter and eat a pound of body fat instead.
So you cut calories and have been in a caloric deficit. Okay, how were your energy levels when having nothing but lean meats? Lower than usual? Could you perform in the gym?
The problem with eating too lean and just purely protein is that your body is gonna be confused with what energy it needs survive off if you aren’t giving it enough fat to be ketosis or enough carbs for it to burn sugar… you are going to feel weak and also you just basically put your self in caloric deficit.
@capnceltblood5347 super interesting thanks for sharing. just a couple of questions: do you exercise or r u sedentary? were you overweight /obese when started?whats yourstats? thank you so much
Chicken as much as i love it, makes me sooooo bloated and constipated! Especially the next day after eating. I didnt realise this until i went full carnvore. If i have just chicken throughout the day it gives me stomach cramps and bload the next day
With bacon I just buy sliced pork belly size of bacon, add salt, then put in the oven. It’s just like store bacon but without the preservative chemicals. It gives me the fat I need and the oil to become lard lol.
Ghee is clarified butter, which means that all the lactose and casein of the butter gets removed. So in ghee you find ONLY saturated fats, in my opinion a better option than butter. Ghee also has higher burning point so you can use it to fry.
I’ve had to cut cheese out. I like it too much and find it almost impossible not to overeat. It makes me feel lethargic, foggy, and makes my joints ache.
Cheese is almost like candy for me. You are spot on there. I can eat 2 pounds of meat, be full, but still eat a pound of cheese after that. Just like sugar, its always space. If the cheese is good tasting of course.
I’m carnivore but I have a question. When you say wild game is too lean, that doesn’t track with me. Our ancestors lived on wild game exclusively. I’m not sure you can say we didn’t have this one gene 10,000 years ago so milk is not good but then say our modern excessively fatty meat is good.
Grass-fed, grass finished beef. What is the obsession with lamb? Beef should have been the first thing you said. Eggs from chickens that are pasture raised. Butter from cows that are grass-fed and pasture-raised. An ounce or less a day of cheese, always full fat, only from pasture raised cows. I don't have this everyday, I might have a little with eggs or half an ounce of cheese with my steak. Wild caught fish if I feel like it which is not often lately. And occasionally some chicken liver from chickens that are free to roam, more B vitamins that I need. Or liver from cows that are pasture raised but I don't have that often because I don't like it. I do still have coffee once a day, that's obviously not carnivore and I have a little heavy cream in it. Once a day only. Our ancestors ate organic by definition, seasonal again by definition, fruit when they came across it. They didn't eat fruit that had been bred for excess sweetness, excess fructose. In light of that I will have some organic wild blueberries when they are seasonal. Not a lot, not out of season, but a little occasionally is fine. And that's pretty much what I eat. For those of you who want to scold me for not being 100% carnivore, don't bother. We didn't evolve to be 100% carnivore. We evolved to be primarily carnivore. When we are sick or healing from something or have to reverse years of eating poorly, it's useful to be entirely carnivore, to eat meat, salt and water and that's it. I'm past that point, I can allow myself an ounce of cheese if I want it on a given day. I can decide to have a single coffee each day. 99.5% carnivore is good. Our ancestors weren't 100% carnivore all the time. I'm not eating lamb. Every animal deserves a life, carnivores should respect the lives of the animals we eat. For me that means not eating lamb. Not eating foie gras, not eating any food that results in an animal having its life cut short to that extent. I'll eat beef but I'm not going to eat calves. I'll eat mutton but I'm not going to eat lamb. I'll eat eggs but only if they come from chickens that are genuinely free to roam. We should all eat sustainably raised food, we should not participate in unnecessary cruelty. Ghee is not the same as butter, the proteins that people react to have been removed. It's concerning when someone who doesn't know as much as he thinks he knows weighs in on things for an audience that trusts his word.
Marry me! ❤️Hahaha! Wow, seriously, I agree with EVERY WORD you wrote (haha, except for the fruit, but only because I never liked fruit in my 60+ years on the planet!) ❤️ You have exceptional knowledge and common sense! God bless you! 🙏💕
@@stjohnstorm are you a man? If you're a man I can marry you since I am a woman. Your comment made me smile, it made me happy that someone read what I wrote and agreed with it. I have the feeling that this channel is probably not the right place for me and that's okay. Most of the carnivores I know care very much about animals. I don't want to eat lamb or veal, animals should have a life also. They should be treated with respect and kindness. Mass agriculture harms animals more than eating a sustainably raised carnivore diet does. I think the channel, Max is his name, means well.

I mean of course most people will have cognitive biases and once they found something that completely changed their life, will go to an extreme with it and...here we are, talking about carnivore and add beliefs, biases and other cognitive fallacies to support this new agenda. Not everyone can entertain the idea that maybe we are not 100% carnivores OR that we should find ways to save animals and still be healthy(see yogis), find a balance, progress...oh well..
@@serban2139 I don't think there's much real debate on the question of humans being carnivores. Or at least omnivores with a strong emphasis on meat, fish and poultry. That's how we evolved our brains. We can eat a small amount of plant food, our ancestors did seasonally. But the primary food was meat. And by meat you know I mean all kinds of meat, that will include fish, poultry, eggs, animals and animal products. The fruit we have available to us today has been hybridized and bred for excess fructose, to make it bigger, sweeter, juicier and available 12 months of the year. You can make a smoothie with four or five pieces of fruit in it but that's not what we evolved to eat. If we happened across a bush with some wild berries, we ate berries but we didn't eat a pint of them everyday, we had a little bit when we found it when they were seasonal and then we went back to eating meat. Eating lots of very sweet fruit everyday puts a burden on our pancreas and spikes our insulin. Vegetables have anti-nutrients in them if you eat oysters for example you get a tremendous amount of zinc and other nutrients. If you eat those same oysters with black beans you only absorb 50% of the zinc. If you eat the oysters with a corn tortilla you absorb none of the zinc. We don't need to eat carbohydrates. The glucose our brain needs is made by our body in a process called gluconeogenesis. We don't need fiber there has been a lot of incorrect information foot forth by people with an agenda. Our nutritional recommendations in the US largely come from the Seventh-Day Adventist Church which is against meat because they believe that meat makes people lustful, well if you want to be healthy and have healthy children, you do need to eat some animal products. I don't know if I would be better off without my daily coffee. Possibly? At some point I want to try to stop drinking it because the fact that I wanted so much tells me that it is at least close to an addiction.
Don’t know if you read your comments but I have a burning question that I keep having. I watch a lot of carnivore videos and most say it’s fine to eat grain fed beef as opposed to grassfed. I realize that all cows are grassfed, just to different degrees, I still wonder what’s the difference in cows eating grains versus chickens and pigs. It’s ok for cows to eat an unnatural diet of grains? Are they able to process these grains better since they are ruminant animals? I am a grassfed advocate and also like to eat grassfed because I think the animal gets to live a more natural life in a way. Maybe I’m wrong. I would love your thoughts on this Max or anyone else who wants to chime in.
As someone who has degenerative disk, IBS, and no energy 56 years old and has wasted away from a lean 220 lbs down to 154 lbs what would be my best diet?
Commenting as I'm watching. Expected farm raised chicken to go lower. That makes me scared for my favorite food here :( I know cheese is about to be hated on :( Edit: and I'm sad :(
@@max.german Max I have tried to get into carnivore, my anxiety is too much, epecially in the evenings when returning from work at 5 PM. I can go without breakfast and steak for lunch, but at the evening it's REALLY hard for me to go for a steak. How do you suggest to go by this?
Wild game is too lean to be S Tier?? That's all there was back in 'cave' days which is what this "Carnivore - PHD" is modeled after... So how did they add fat then to be eating what you define as PHD?
I would be careful taking his advice. They might not be necessary for him. I would refer to someone like Dr Anthony Chaffee for a definitive response on this question. I have a PhD, I will tell you that the answer depends on who you are and what your unique system is. If you have difficulty with B vitamins, if you are someone who has been told that you need to take MTHF for example, methylated versions of the B vitamins (methylfolate) a small amount of liver might be useful for you. It is determined on a case-by-case basis. It's important to note that the amount of liver you would eat is small in relation to the rest of your food. The liver in an animal represents a very small percentage of the animal's body weight. It is packed with vitamins and nutrients. If you know that you need more B vitamins, if you know that you have a greater need for nutrients, an ounce or two of liver a couple of times a week could be beneficial. You know your system best. Find a practitioner who can help you with your specific issues. Anyone making videos like Max will be limited to what he knows, he doesn't know you, he can't answer the question for you. He can only answer the question from his perspective with regard to what he needs. Take everything, including what I'm saying now, with a grain of salt. I'm a little concerned that he answered in the negative, he should have said that he doesn't need it but you might and that he isn't in a position to tell you whether you should eat it or not. If it helps, I have been prescribed MTHF because I have the fairly common genetic variation that makes it hard for my body to metabolize folate. I take methylated folate which allows my body to absorb it. For people with this variation, a small amount of liver can be useful. Find a provider who can help you figure out what is best for you. Please don't take the word of influencers or UA-cam creators.
I love this video - it's super useful to me. I can't wait for the version you need to produce 5 years from now when you'll be going "the rabbit", followed by "the camel", and "the bison", and "the reindeer" etc. and at the end of it look totally fucking frustrated with all us idiot subscribers who keep asking more and more specifics "what about kangaroos?!? Where does that go? Or capybaras, you haven't done capybaras yet!"
Kangaroo is very lean, like venison…. Bison probably like beef, but not available where I live…. Horse also v lean, but very delicate to eat… had horse shashimi in Japan…. Don’;t know about Sth American rodents…. 😅
I drink 1 glass of lactose-free milk a day as i'm lactose intolerant and without milk I start getting pain in my fingers. Apart from that it is all beef, pork, chicken, eggs, butter, salt & water!
Ok. I have a few ?s #1 How's Coconut Oil for fats? #2 What do you cook your beef in if not in butter when cooking in a pan not a grill? Is Avocado oil ok for pan searing? #3 What is a good ratio of Fat to Protein? Thank You in advance!!
Great video! But regarding butter, you say it's always pasteurized, but that's only true for store-bought. In Austria, many farmers have opened up their own vending huts and some of them sell raw butter. If pasteurized butter is B tier, would raw butter be A tier because it's more pure?
@@patrickgililov3239 thanks for the tip! There is one in the closest city to me, I'll go and check it out. But I will also ask at the butcher shop where I always buy my beef (regional and grass-fed, by the way) if they have any tallow because they don't list it for sale.
Hah 0:54 this far in. Let’s go kid. Let’s see how u did. In regards to chickens. As u said, but we’re maybe far to vague in, is that these things happen in the “flesh” most of these compounds are contained in the skin and whites fats associated with chicken. Chicken fat doesn’t even reduce well, why would u keep it. If you take a lean day, and suck down a trimmed chicken breast, trust me, ur doing ur body good. The addictive part of cheese, is casein proteins. Ur body really likes them, and it makes sense, that the most bio available protein on mother earth, is human lactate, which is super rich in saturated fats, casein protein (and her is the kicker, sugars, for growth) you grow because the hormonal response to the sugars. Insulin spikes, growth hormone is produced, proteins and fats provide ur building blocks. Milk, kefir, Greek yogurt, whole cottage cheese, natural cheese, butter…..if u blame the addictive protein here, u may just be weak. Also, isn’t it crazy, that we can find hunter gatherers tribes, 200,000 years into humanity, and they don’t know how to irrigate yet? And on the other side of the planet, we have 4nm processors that control ur life on a phone? Find ur medium, be happy with ur choice. And go kick life’s ass!!
You just have to do the best with what you’ve got. Ideally (health wise) you’d move to some isolated location far away from the total state, eating your own privately grown animals and drinking non-fluoridated water (also not polluted with glyphosate, SSRI’s, and birth control), while not breathing in brake dust from local roads and being bombarded with the countless other stressors of industrial society. In the history of civilisation, some people are inevitably cursed to live in the decline. Optimal health is probably beyond our access, but if we live and have children we can pass on the longing for a better future indefinitely.
You forgot chemtrails. So maybe move to TN. I saw a video of a guy in Croatia and there rhe chemtrails were in the sky. Detox the aluminum and mercury and other metals with powdered Zeolite
Is raw pork as bad as mainstream is telling us? And if so, why? We all know the parasite stories, and the cola test. I never found any parasites that way. Anybody has some decent info about this? Thanks.
Great video Max. You’re mostly right about wild pork being healthier than grain fed pork. However, there is a caveat to this. Wild pigs were designed by our creator as scavengers. Their job is to clean up dead animals. I have seen this first-hand. When I was out hunting once I culled a group of four wild goats and left them behind. (Goat ravage native forest, eating all the undergrowth). Two weeks later I came back and they were gone! Nothing left but the horns and a few bits of intestine on the ground. The wild pigs had been through! They had eaten almost everything including the heads and leg bones! The important thing to remember is that when deer or goats eat poison, they will die. Wild pigs eat these animals and the toxins can build up in their flesh. I heard a while back that eating a lot of wild pork can lead to stomach/colon cancer etc. So wild pigs used to be a clean food source. Now, not so much, thanks to humans.
What’s that show where the son pushed his abusive father into the pig pen and dads remains disappeared ? Ever since that show I’m like ugh pigs will eat everything !
That's the way to go, the real human diet; raw meat is the only food we are designed for. Anything else is unnatural and therefore ultimately unsatisfying.
@@james8210 Try eating high quality fatty raw red meat consistently for some time and your senses will give you very clear present day evidence of its superiority over cooked meat. I am curious nonetheless: What evidence is there suggesting that meat cooking dates back to a million years ago?
All carnivore foods? I don't see duck, goose or iguana LOL! I consume cheese and yogurt but only yogurt I ferment myself. I have not used butter for a long time due tot he cost. Bacon I rarely ate and no longer do.
Yeah I kinda wanted duck in there but I guess they would be similar to turkey/chicken, just more info on that would've been nice. Also a lot more seafood options are missing - do we know if farmed seafood is as bad as wild-caught? Or maybe it could be even worse? I got surprised by Max ranking farmed fish only 1 tier down from WC, I mistakenly ate a can of farmed cod's liver and it was disgusting, more rubbery with dark spots. Terrible almost unedible.

Vegetables have anti-nutrients in them if you eat oysters for example you get a tremendous amount of zinc and other nutrients. If you eat those same oysters with black beans you only absorb 50% of the zinc. If you eat the oysters with a corn tortilla you absorb none of the zinc.
We don't need to eat carbohydrates. The glucose our brain needs is made by our body in a process called gluconeogenesis. We don't need fiber there has been a lot of incorrect information foot forth by people with an agenda. Our nutritional recommendations in the US largely come from the Seventh-Day Adventist Church which is against meat because they believe that meat makes people lustful, well if you want to be healthy and have healthy children, you do need to eat some animal products.
I don't know if I would be better off without my daily coffee. Possibly? At some point I want to try to stop drinking it because the fact that I wanted so much tells me that it is at least close to an addiction.
Great information. Thanks!
No worries. Thank you:)
Don’t know if you read your comments but I have a burning question that I keep having. I watch a lot of carnivore videos and most say it’s fine to eat grain fed beef as opposed to grassfed. I realize that all cows are grassfed, just to different degrees, I still wonder what’s the difference in cows eating grains versus chickens and pigs. It’s ok for cows to eat an unnatural diet of grains? Are they able to process these grains better since they are ruminant animals? I am a grassfed advocate and also like to eat grassfed because I think the animal gets to live a more natural life in a way. Maybe I’m wrong. I would love your thoughts on this Max or anyone else who wants to chime in.
You' didn't mention any sort of shellfish: shrimp, oysters, mussels, lobsters, etc.. Us on the coast would be interested.
I dont bother with chicken. Bacon i react to. Full fat soft cheese is my weakness so try and limit it but Lion diet is the best way to go for me.
Tallow S tier? Along with bone broth?
Yep

Today is day 89. I cut out pork today, so now just ribeye, chicken thighs, eggs and butter. I wonder if it will make a difference
And now you've just ruined chicken thighs for me 😢
Bro pork and chicken is more carnivore than eggs and butter

I don't understand how chicken doesn't work.
As someone who has degenerative disk, IBS, and no energy 56 years old and has wasted away from a lean 220 lbs down to 154 lbs what would be my best diet?
Commenting as I'm watching. Expected farm raised chicken to go lower. That makes me scared for my favorite food here :(
I know cheese is about to be hated on :(
Edit:
and I'm sad :(
awesome vi, thanks man
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
@@max.german Max I have tried to get into carnivore, my anxiety is too much, epecially in the evenings when returning from work at 5 PM. I can go without breakfast and steak for lunch, but at the evening it's REALLY hard for me to go for a steak. How do you suggest to go by this?
All plants are F-tier or lower.
I've also found the saltiness of cheese to cause me to snack more things I should not have.
Wild game is too lean to be S Tier?? That's all there was back in 'cave' days which is what this "Carnivore - PHD" is modeled after... So how did they add fat then to be eating what you define as PHD?
I've wondered about that too
Thank you for this. I would have liked to know where organ meat fitted in.
Excellent!
Top class content
Thanks mate
Thanks man!
No worries
Your videos are always packed with great information! 👍🏻
Do you think organs are necessary in the Carnivore diet?
No, but they help. I think I feel better when I eat raw liver regularly, but it might be all in my head.
Thank you very much. No definitely don’t need organs. I never have them.
I would be careful taking his advice. They might not be necessary for him. I would refer to someone like Dr Anthony Chaffee for a definitive response on this question. I have a PhD, I will tell you that the answer depends on who you are and what your unique system is.
If you have difficulty with B vitamins, if you are someone who has been told that you need to take MTHF for example, methylated versions of the B vitamins (methylfolate) a small amount of liver might be useful for you.
It is determined on a case-by-case basis. It's important to note that the amount of liver you would eat is small in relation to the rest of your food. The liver in an animal represents a very small percentage of the animal's body weight. It is packed with vitamins and nutrients. If you know that you need more B vitamins, if you know that you have a greater need for nutrients, an ounce or two of liver a couple of times a week could be beneficial.
You know your system best. Find a practitioner who can help you with your specific issues. Anyone making videos like Max will be limited to what he knows, he doesn't know you, he can't answer the question for you. He can only answer the question from his perspective with regard to what he needs. Take everything, including what I'm saying now, with a grain of salt. I'm a little concerned that he answered in the negative, he should have said that he doesn't need it but you might and that he isn't in a position to tell you whether you should eat it or not.
If it helps, I have been prescribed MTHF because I have the fairly common genetic variation that makes it hard for my body to metabolize folate. I take methylated folate which allows my body to absorb it. For people with this variation, a small amount of liver can be useful.
Find a provider who can help you figure out what is best for you. Please don't take the word of influencers or UA-cam creators.
you rock max!
Thank you very much
I love this video - it's super useful to me. I can't wait for the version you need to produce 5 years from now when you'll be going "the rabbit", followed by "the camel", and "the bison", and "the reindeer" etc. and at the end of it look totally fucking frustrated with all us idiot subscribers who keep asking more and more specifics "what about kangaroos?!? Where does that go? Or capybaras, you haven't done capybaras yet!"
Kangaroo is very lean, like venison…. Bison probably like beef, but not available where I live…. Horse also v lean, but very delicate to eat… had horse shashimi in Japan…. Don’;t know about Sth American rodents…. 😅
Hahahhaha glad you liked the video. Thank you.
I drink 1 glass of lactose-free milk a day as i'm lactose intolerant and without milk I start getting pain in my fingers.
Apart from that it is all beef, pork, chicken, eggs, butter, salt & water!
TBA this video is really confusion and unstructured for me, but I just fast forward to the end to see the ranging.
Ok. I have a few ?s #1 How's Coconut Oil for fats? #2 What do you cook your beef in if not in butter when cooking in a pan not a grill? Is Avocado oil ok for pan searing? #3 What is a good ratio of Fat to Protein? Thank You in advance!!
What animals do coconut and avocado oils come from? I cook in lard or tallow, usually.
Duck fat adds good flavor, that's my favorite. I use coconut oil as an after shower moisturizer 😃
@@joannbrown2842 Doesn't that get expensive? I go thru gallons of tallow. Where do you get your duck fat from?
What about shrimp? 🦐
In my opinion ghee is much better than regular butter as it only contains very healthy fat... so for me ghee is at least a B
Great video! But regarding butter, you say it's always pasteurized, but that's only true for store-bought. In Austria, many farmers have opened up their own vending huts and some of them sell raw butter. If pasteurized butter is B tier, would raw butter be A tier because it's more pure?
Thank you. Yes raw butter is great. Still slightly prefer beef tallow however.
@@max.german I would too, but it's hard to find here. So normally I cook with either lard or raw butter
@@TomHenksYT Are there any Turkish or Arabic supermarkets in your area? They usually sell excellent lamb and beef with all the fat you care for.
@@patrickgililov3239 thanks for the tip! There is one in the closest city to me, I'll go and check it out. But I will also ask at the butcher shop where I always buy my beef (regional and grass-fed, by the way) if they have any tallow because they don't list it for sale.
Don't forget liver
Why is it called adaptation and not design.
So Tallow is A tier?
Hah 0:54 this far in. Let’s go kid. Let’s see how u did. In regards to chickens. As u said, but we’re maybe far to vague in, is that these things happen in the “flesh” most of these compounds are contained in the skin and whites fats associated with chicken. Chicken fat doesn’t even reduce well, why would u keep it. If you take a lean day, and suck down a trimmed chicken breast, trust me, ur doing ur body good.
The addictive part of cheese, is casein proteins. Ur body really likes them, and it makes sense, that the most bio available protein on mother earth, is human lactate, which is super rich in saturated fats, casein protein (and her is the kicker, sugars, for growth) you grow because the hormonal response to the sugars. Insulin spikes, growth hormone is produced, proteins and fats provide ur building blocks. Milk, kefir, Greek yogurt, whole cottage cheese, natural cheese, butter…..if u blame the addictive protein here, u may just be weak.
Also, isn’t it crazy, that we can find hunter gatherers tribes, 200,000 years into humanity, and they don’t know how to irrigate yet? And on the other side of the planet, we have 4nm processors that control ur life on a phone? Find ur medium, be happy with ur choice. And go kick life’s ass!!
Will wild boar have the same problems of venison? Being low fat but otherwise good.
If chickens and pigs cannot breakdown the food they are given, how is the food assimilated and end up in the flesh?
It’s broken down by the harmful compounds in their food accumulate in their flesh. The saying you are what you eat holds to be true.
What about the mRNA vaccines that the beef is being administered here
You’d probably need organic. It’s sad that the governments poison our food supply.
All part of the masterplan(i.e plandemic)
That was fake if your so worried about it eat kangaroo meat that's completely natural
You just have to do the best with what you’ve got. Ideally (health wise) you’d move to some isolated location far away from the total state, eating your own privately grown animals and drinking non-fluoridated water (also not polluted with glyphosate, SSRI’s, and birth control), while not breathing in brake dust from local roads and being bombarded with the countless other stressors of industrial society. In the history of civilisation, some people are inevitably cursed to live in the decline. Optimal health is probably beyond our access, but if we live and have children we can pass on the longing for a better future indefinitely.
You forgot chemtrails. So maybe move to TN. I saw a video of a guy in Croatia and there rhe chemtrails were in the sky.

Is raw pork as bad as mainstream is telling us? And if so, why? We all know the parasite stories, and the cola test. I never found any parasites that way. Anybody has some decent info about this? Thanks.
i have my own chickens that i feed with vegetable scraps. is that S tier then?
Eating elk😊
Great video Max. You’re mostly right about wild pork being healthier than grain fed pork. However, there is a caveat to this.
Wild pigs were designed by our creator as scavengers. Their job is to clean up dead animals. I have seen this first-hand. When I was out hunting once I culled a group of four wild goats and left them behind. (Goat ravage native forest, eating all the undergrowth).
Two weeks later I came back and they were gone! Nothing left but the horns and a few bits of intestine on the ground. The wild pigs had been through! They had eaten almost everything including the heads and leg bones!
The important thing to remember is that when deer or goats eat poison, they will die. Wild pigs eat these animals and the toxins can build up in their flesh. I heard a while back that eating a lot of wild pork can lead to stomach/colon cancer etc.
So wild pigs used to be a clean food source. Now, not so much, thanks to humans.
What’s that show where the son pushed his abusive father into the pig pen and dads remains disappeared ?

Hi Max can you drink coconut water on a carnivore diet
I also want to know this as it is a natural dehidration drink
What do you say about eating high quality red meat completely raw?
That's the way to go, the real human diet; raw meat is the only food we are designed for. Anything else is unnatural and therefore ultimately unsatisfying.
@@patrickgililov3239 yes exactly, we could be mates
@@patrickgililov3239 There is evidence showing that we have been cooking meat for a million years or more.
@@james8210 Try eating high quality fatty raw red meat consistently for some time and your senses will give you very clear present day evidence of its superiority over cooked meat. I am curious nonetheless: What evidence is there suggesting that meat cooking dates back to a million years ago?
All carnivore foods? I don't see duck, goose or iguana LOL! I consume cheese and yogurt but only yogurt I ferment myself. I have not used butter for a long time due tot he cost. Bacon I rarely ate and no longer do.
Yeah I kinda wanted duck in there but I guess they would be similar to turkey/chicken, just more info on that would've been nice. Also a lot more seafood options are missing - do we know if farmed seafood is as bad as wild-caught? Or maybe it could be even worse? I got surprised by Max ranking farmed fish only 1 tier down from WC, I mistakenly ate a can of farmed cod's liver and it was disgusting, more rubbery with dark spots. Terrible almost unedible.
Where would you put Tallow?
It’s literally beef
