I started carnivore 2 years ago, i lost maybe 40 lbs the first year, i also was very ill. Bed ridden for 6 years. I started feel8ng better right away. I started sleeping so much better, i used to have stabbing pains in my arms and legs , that was horrible. I dont believe in dr.s so 8 havent been for over 50 years, oh yea im old....ive now lost 65 lbs and my arthritis pain is so much better that some days i feel like its completely gone. I see the inches falling off me. The lipedema is better than its been in 50 years its actually going away.
Congratulations. You have persevered though so much. So happy for you
Given me some hope, so glad she your recovery!
Thank you for sharing your story!
Wow, it is so exciting hearing your progress!
😃 Very happy for you and your progress on carnivore
I started in August 2023. I lost 30lbs by November 2023. My family came to NY for my cousins wedding mid November. That’s when I fell off the wagon! It’s June now and I’ve gained 10lbs. Inflammation is back in a huge way. I literally do not have ankles! It has been very difficult for me to get back on the program. It’s mid June 2024 and I started my carnivore diet again today. I dont know why it was so difficult to begin again. Well, today is day 1 (again) and I have to stick to the diet in order to lose the weight I gained and get rid of inflammation, anxiety and depression! So here we go again! Wish me luck!..
You've got this!!!
Try adding fasting into your routine. This has been a game changer for me and my cravings for carbs.
Well done just keep reminding yourself it's for health reasons. Good luck
just remember. its not suppose to be easy, but it will be worth it
Its ok to fell off the wagon and get on again, one tip to transition more easily is to remove sugars for a couple of weeks while adding meat, eggs, seafood with salt and when you decide to cut the no-carnivore stuff your body already has been detecting what it needs. This can help to start carnivore more easily.
Something to remember with fruit. For most of the population, we are genetically adapted to eating only low sugar fruit locally and seasonally, which means a few weeks/months a year to fatten up ready for winter. We are NOT supposed to eat high sugar fruit (today's hybrid fruits are designed to be really sweet) all year around. When I was a kid, apples were small and tart, today's apples are large and sweet. Look at photos of watermelons from 40 years ago and compare to today. Modern fruit is just candy with fibre.
Agreed! The produce we eat today is nothing like what even our ancestors a few hundred years ago wouldve had access to.
@@soulTraveller144 ummm, no.
Your mama didn’t buy the good fruit, I guess, because I don’t find apples are any different than 66 years ago when I was a kid. Some are tart and some are sweet.
@@soulTraveller144The high carb diet is what is making people fat and sick! God gave us the animals for food. We are human beings with immortal souls, the animals are not!
@@soulTraveller144nope.
This is hands down the best overall presentation of carnivore diets that I have come across! What a pleasant surprise to find a presenter who gets right to the bottom line in every issue, and does not waste the listener's time with filler or silliness.
I did not plan to subscribe, but now I have subscribed.
Thanks a bunch! Great job!
Thank you so much!
This may be one of the best breakdowns I have seen. Thank you for this. 3 years Carnivore here. Best thing I've ever done for my health.
Thank you so much!
I would only say that if you have a digestion/gut issue, pick something with a little variety of other food for your biome.
@@c4caffeen134 I think you would be surprised. I haven't seen a single person who has tried this way of eating for 90 days or more and hasn't seen major health benefits.
You don't really need "variety" for health. You may think you "need" certain foods because you are bored. If thats the case you may be eating for the wrong reasons.
May 2023 I was ill…I lost 40 pounds in 30 days…I threw up everything I ate. I was in terrible pain… so, June 1, I went to Emerg and in 12 hours I was diagnosed with a torn diaphragm and a hiatus hernia. I was immediately positioned in line for emergency surgery THAT DAY‼
Ah, but my Texas Rescue Chihuahua Service dog, Mariposa, was with me. And I had no one who could care for her whilst I was recovering post op in hospital. SO…
I signed myself out of Emerg and went home…at the protest of the doctors and nurses. BUT SURPRISE… NO ONE told me that I could eliminate the excruciating stomach pain by getting rid of veggies. It was ALL trial and error… one day I would eat a 🍔burger…I was fine…next day, same 🍔burger with a leaf of 🥬lettuce and I thought I would die. The only way I could get rid of the horrible pain was fast, fast 72 to 100 hours. So, I eliminated all vegetables. I was so very hungry…that timidly, I began with a 🍳fried egg. I gobbled it up = no pain. So, I fried another🍳🍳and in about 4 weeks I increased my egg intake to 🍳🍳🍳🍳four a day. Still, very low in calories. My weight dropped very rapidly…total loss in less than six months is 115 pounds. If I eat too much, I hurt…so, I try to eat three times a day. Small meals. Slowly, I added meats with my eggs. 🥩🍳And I feel great. I am trying to eat as much as possible …those last 10 pounds wrinkled my face horribly even at 65…I am trying to slow down my weight loss. I do want to lose 50 pounds more…but ultra slowly. Now, my family MD does want me to undergo surgery…thinking I cannot live on meat alone…but I explained…what am I missing⁉Today’s vegetables are not the nutritious veggies WE ALL grew up with…full of pesticides, GMO and glyphosate…my body does not need that‼I enjoy 🍗🥩🍖🍔meats, 🍳eggs, I can eat 🧀Cheese, 🧈butter, cream🫗, I can eat 🧅🧄🫒🍈onion, garlic, olives, spices 🌶yes, hot jalapeño 🌶pickled peppers even dill pickles🥒…so my diet is full of variety. I enjoy bulletproof coffee☕, Turkish Coffee☕ 🧊homemade 🍋lemon iced tea. I grill beef steaks 🥩on my Weber Q2400 outdoor electric BBQ, I have setup a complete outdoor kitchen on my balcony, all electric, to fry bacon🥓➕🍳eggs everyday without messing the kitchen. Plus I have a Kalorik Pro 1600 degree restaurant quality steak grilling oven…that I moved to the balcony, too. Plus a sun umbrella ⛱Covid did something to me…while under quarantine, I decided to sequester and really lean how to KETO/CARNIVORE cook. I bought practically every kitchen appliance known to man plus three different ice cream makers. And, I have a beautiful marble dining table & a 🪑patio rocking chair‼Yes, I can eat🍨 ice cream which I make from just eggs🥚🥚🥚and 🧈butter ➕ stevia and vanilla. Or 🍧cream cheese ➕🥚🥚➕stevia and vanilla. Delicious‼I have discovered I can bake the occasional cheese cake…sweetened with stevia…and if I want a fruity flavour…I add a tsp of Lor Ann fruit extract…either 🍒cherry or 🍓strawberry or raspberry even blueberry🫐. Then there is 🍋lemon, or 🍎🍏apple flavour, 🍐pear, 🍌banana, 🥭mango. 🍮🍮🍮Flans baked with heavy cream and eggs are delicious‼YES, this modified carnivore is very easy…I KNOW I can eat this way for the remainder of my life and save 💵💵💵💲💲💲Money not 🛒🛒🛒wasting money 💵💵💵on useless veggies. 🥬🥦🥬🫑🥕🌽🍅🥑🍅
And that is my reason for sticking to what I call CARNIVORE PLUS➕‼NO SURGERY NEEDED‼
And May I point out…our healthcare is free here in 🇨🇦Canada…the surgery and after care of a week in hospital would not have cost me a single dime‼‼‼
AND I STILL REFUSE SURGERY. HELLO CARNIVORE‼
Gladys🇨🇦Toronto🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦
Thank you so much for sharing your story and I am glad that you were able to improve your health without surgery! Amazing 😊
I really enjoyed your story. Thank you. You have greatly inspired me to try this. I feel like I'd be so sick of just eating meat and nothing else but it's great to hear how you have added some variety to endure. Please share your recipe for ice cream and coffee if you don't mind? I'd really appreciate it ❤
I think it’s perfect for me too this kind of diet😊😊😊
@@sherridenkeogh4770 Hello, I would most pleased to share all I do eat. 🍽And how I cook. I am never ever bored‼You can kindly ask Jenny to provide you with my email address too, if you like…I will help you on your journey. I will help anyone‼☺
I also make sure I eat salmon 🦈once every twenty years, or so, I hate 🦈salmon…that makes me a terrible 🇨🇦Canadian🇨🇦Not loving our 🦈native fish‼
The 🧈Butter ☕☕coffee is the ☕☕BULLETPROOF coffee that Dave Asprey perfected…I began very skeptically drinking it and it changed my life. I always prepare a huge 16 ounce mug full. If you cannot find a 16 ounce coffee mug upgrade to a large glass beer 🍺mug it will work splendidly‼Due to the fact I can only eat about 5-6 ounces total per meal…I find some days I climb the walls with real hunger.
It, the hunger, drives me crazy. So, I have realized those are the days my food is lacking in fats…so I have returned to drinking Bulletproof Coffee. Even 🕰mid day!
I French Press brew about 14 ounces coffee…instant is ok, too.
And pour it into my blender.
To the coffee, I add, 1 scoop collagen powder.
I sweeten with NOW BETTER stevia powder to taste. This stevia is my go to for everything and the cheapest stevia in 🇨🇦Canada at 🇨🇦💵$86.00/pound. Use 1/2 tsp = 1/2 cup white sugar in all recipes‼
A couple of hefty shakes of cinnamon.
And 1 tbsp MCT oil …which I truly measure
And I slice off 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter
And add that to the blender…and I blitz.☕
I really whip the ingredients to create a huge foamy cappuccino-like foamy mug of coffee!
Optional add ons…
If I make the coffee 50% stronger…
I add 1 tbsp egg yolk powder and it becomes a breakfast on the go‼No you will not taste the egg yolk. Or add one 🥚fresh egg…no it will not cook in the coffee…but become extra extra creamy. You will not taste it‼
As for the ice cream…🍧🍨🍦🍧🍨🍦
I own the $999.99 🇨🇦Cuisinart ICE-100 built-in freezer ice cream maker…which I bought in 2012. You should have seen the look on the salesman’s face when I explained that I required an 🍧🍨🍦ice cream maker to follow a high fat diet to lose weight‼‼
This is a great ice cream maker for a quick one or two serving recipe. Sure you can churn a quart in an hour…but I discovered…it is faster to prepare ice cream fresh daily in say, 15-17 minutes‼
Then in 2022, everyone online in the keto 🌎sphere was raving about the NINJA CREAMI.
I watched every UA-cam video I could find.
In about ten months…I was absolutely convinced I NEEDED a Ninja Creami. It is a marvel of culinary scientific ice cream prep.
See my bulletproof coffee recipe above…pour it into a Creami jar and freeze it for 24 hours…and then “spin” or “process” it according to Ninja directions…and it whips up into a most creamy, smooth, delicious dessert‼A miracle, an amazing creamy frozen coffee ice cream keto high fat dessert sensation, gee…what other delicious words can I use⁉Get my drift? …even my 🇺🇸Adopted 🇺🇸Texas Rescue chihuahua loves this stuff‼🍨🍧🍨🍧She eats my meat carnivore diet and I add low carb veggies to her plate and stopped shedding her fur completely! I buy veggies only for her!
ICE CREAM BASE RECIPE (s) 🍦🍨🍧
I use (and have tried all brands) of fruit extracts that I import from the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 To buy them it is very 💲💲💲a $40.00🇺🇸
Order can have a landed 🇨🇦Cost of just over $120.00🇨🇦💵 after shipping ✈and duty!
And now,I have discovered that the 🇨🇦Michaels Craft Store sells LorAnn for $15.00 a four ounce bottle. It is hands down the best brand of flavouring in the marketplace.
In 2014, I ate 🍋sensational 🍋Lemon Ice Cream every day for lunch. And enjoyed every creamy tangy bite‼In my blender…
I cracked 2 very fresh large eggs
The grated rind of about 1/2 a large lemon
The juice of half a lemon
2-3 tbsp soft butter
And I used stevia powder to sweeten to taste
Blitz
Poured the foamy rich ice cream base into my Cuisinart ice cream maker and churned it about 15 minutes. Served. TRULY Enjoyed.
I have not figured out the Ninja ratios of this recipe…yet.
So…keep reading…
FOR THE NINJA CREAMI…🍨🍧🍦
My inspiration for one of my recipes is from Anita, Ketogenic Woman on UA-cam. She is very strict carnivore these days check her out.
My take on CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM
In a very low powdered 175-200 watt blender…place the following ingredients:
4 ounces soft cream cheese
4 fresh large or extra large eggs
2 tbsp MCT oil
I scoop collagen powder
1 tsp NOW BETTER STEVIA powder
1 tsp vanilla…masks the smell of eggs
((Optional… add 1tsp LorAnn fruit extract your choice of flavour 🍓🍌🍎🍒🍑🫐…yes, vanilla plus fruit extract in the batch.)
Pour into ninja container…if volume does not reach the fill line on the container add water!
Freeze 24 hours.
The next day, “spin” on the Lite cycle
On the Ninja Creami selection board.
And then… Re-spin two more times‼
The resulting ice cream will be as smooth and richer with superb mouth feel that beats Haagen -Dazs hands down…sugar free.
Way back in the 1970’s in the Dr. Atkins Day, ice cream recipes never quite succeeded due to the fact that the sweeteners would freeze rock solid hard. The Ninja Creami solves this dilemma…it is an appliance that is genius‼
That is why I can turn the Bulletproof Coffee into dessert, if I want to‼😋😋😋
I hope this helps.
I also believe in …
FRENCH PRESS COLD BREW COFFEE‼
TEAS OF ALL VARIETIES and flavours
SUN ICED TEA
Owning an ice making machine…for instant ice.
Enjoying a double shot of Turkish coffee
Using True Lemon crystals in iced tea and anywhere I need a hit of lemon flavour…i no longer buy 🍋🍋🍋which are $1.00 ++ ea.
I buy True Lemon in the value 500 count box.
I BELIEVE, that if a new kitchen appliance will assist us with cooking…keto or carnivore…and keep us on tract and not fall off the diet wagon…that saves our lives…those appliances are of greatest importance to us.
BECAUSE I can eat spices…I buy all the unique spice blends that interest me. And some SPICEOLOGY brands sell for over $50.00 a large container here in Canada🇨🇦
I believe that THE KETO AND CARNIVORE 🌎WORLD really needs a comprehensive recipe book of about 750➕➕➕JUST 🥚🥚🥚egg recipes from all over the 🌎world. Using different spices, cooking methods to offer us true variety when we want to save lots of 💵 money quickly in a month… and never ever become bored with eggs. What do you want to save for⁉
But, I admit it… I can eat 🥓and 🍳crispy fried eggs cooked in bacon fat each and every day and never tire of them, NEVER‼
I hope this helps you and everyone who has spent the time to reply to your query.
Gladys🇨🇦Toronto🇨🇦
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 I applaud you!
Hey just so you know, "beef/salt/water" and "all ruminants/salt/water" are both lion diet. There is no difference between lamb, bison, elk, venison, beef etc. for the purposes of lion diet. Lion diet was designed (and the name coined) by Mikhaila Peterson as a way of defining the least allergenic form of carnivore possible. All red meat falls into the "least allergenic" category due to the fact that ruminant animals have the lowest amount of plant toxin carryover of all animals one might eat. In fact, due to histamine intolerance, Mikhaila herself spent two years eating only lamb because she couldn't find a good source of unaged beef.
Also, technically there is something even stricter, and that's no-salt lion diet. Doesn't work great for athletes but for others it's actually completely fine to forgo salt as long as you have good quality natural water that hasn't had all the electrolytes purified out. Cheers!
Great points! Thank you :)
I’ve listened to the Peterson’s videos and I believe it was Mrs. Tammy Peterson that ate lamb only because she couldn’t find unaged beef. From what I’ve seen Mikhaila eats beef and salt only, as does her father, Jordan. Anyway, yes, some people have a histamine intolerance and can’t eat aged meat. I have no idea what the symptoms are that would tell you this, do you?
@@suew4609 Sorry, you've got it confused. Tammy does eat lamb, but it was Mikhaila who was eating it in place of beef, until she was able to find an unaged beef source. I've been following Mikhaila for a couple years and that has been consistently part of her story when she tells it, both on her own channel and in interviews with others.
As for how to tell, I think it's probably a little different for everyone. The most common symptoms are getting a runny or congested nose when eating, skin itchiness with or without welts/hives, acne, digestive problems (bloating, diarrhea, gas, nausea), and headaches.
The Lion diet is nothing more than a subset of the carnivore diet. Again, just people making up subjective names to suit themselves. Very much pointless. Before all this non-sense, it was just called Zero-Carb. Makes perfect sence as that it what it actually is.
I like your info. Thanks! I'm suspicious of the no salt option. It sounds too dangerous.
Started pre-menopause and felt like absolute crap. Started doing carnivore and it's changed my life. Losing weight and energy is at an all time high. My family sees the difference and support my choice.
Yess i feel ya! i was in a bad pre menopause and it literally dissapeared with this diet!
Wonderful! I'm glad you are feeling better :)
You are blessed to have your family's support! Not everyone has this.
Yeah.. I have a few friends and family members telling me that I NEED fiber and fruits/veggies in my diet! Sorry, NOT sorry...I'll do ME, Thanks!!@littleone31917
Adding fruit triggered non-stop cravings for me. Without fruit, I barely think of food at all.
Hello and thank you for sharing! That is the case for a lot of people unfortunately :(
That's interesting. Whole fruit is no problem for me. I love an orange or Apple occasionally. It's the only sugar intake I get and I consider it okay because the fiber in the fruit buffers the insulin spike
Jenny, I think it should really be emphasized how toxic seed and vegetable oils are. Even if someone is not going to do carnivore they should cut out all oils that do not come from animals. After that, all nightshades, high oxalate foods, and grains.
Agreed! I will be sure to emphasize that more in future videos.
Yes but as far as oxIates, if you have calcium with that food, it binds the ox's so you excrete them back out.
Modern processed foods are like eaten food from alien planets
What is nightshade
@@writegrace it’s a type of plant. Tomatoes are nightshades
Solid breakdown. I have done ketovore, carnivore, and lion diet. Carnivore seems to be my best balance. Fruits are an absolute no go for me. They just cause me to want sweets. I also lift weights 5 days a week and I find carnivore seems to work best for me with that regimen. I would add almost everybody I know who does some form of carnivore almost NEVER eat enough salt. We are so conditioned that salt is bad that almost everyone skimps on the salt. Don't do it. Salt to me is the super spice that makes carnivore work.
Great points!
Explanation about salt: When you are eating carbs, your insulin eventually remains elevated all the time. Chronically elevated insulin causes your kidneys to retain sodium all the time. That is why carb consumers end up with high blood pressure. In Carnivore, your insulin is not elevated; your kidneys are not ordered to retain sodium all the time; the normal system for controlling your blood pressure is restored. High blood pressure tells the kidneys to excrete sodium. Low blood pressure tells the kidneys to retain sodium. Salt is excreted or retained as needed to maintain normal blood pressure. On Carnivore, if you do not consume enough salt, you could become low in sodium and your kidneys would go back to retaining sodium. So consume salt. On carnivore too much salt will be excreted with urine.
@@JennyMitich I always had trouble with milk and milk products. However this was pasteurized milk. I tried raw milk one day and had absolutely none of the issues I’ve always had with pasteurized stuff. For people who are just sensitive (like me) and not straight up allergic, raw milk might be worth a shot to try
@@bobbiejudd5905 agreed! Raw milk is completely different than what we get at the store
But it is not necessary. Owesley Stanley was carnivore 47 years and did not use salt. He was also an athlete and felt it helped his performance vs using salt
I think you forgot age as a factor. I'm 71 and in fairly good health, especially since going carnivore about a year ago. I'm finding that it's very difficult to lose weight at this age. For that reason, I avoid dairy and certainly can't eat fruit.
Same age as you on carnivore for 50 days and am so happy that I made the decision to try it…have managed to lose 7 lbs 16 left to lose but energy level is off the charts and life is good and carnivore is so manageable!
Have you tried intermittent fasting eat meals in a small window atleast 20hr daily fast ❤
71 also and weight loss is very very slow. Have to be very strict and keep to only ruminant meats eggs water. Three months and have lost only 15lbs. Feel great and my arthritis is about 75% improved. Mental clarity is way up too.
I’m 66 and I felt terrible on meat only. I was chronically nauseous and had bowel issues I don’t want to remember. I felt unwell and my chronic pain didn’t lesson after 3 months. When I added back a piece of fruit with each meaI, I felt so much better, and began to finally lose weight. I don’t think any diet is for everyone. Do what feels good for you, as no one but you knows how you feel!
@@suew4609 I can't agree more. I get so annoyed with Lions who think everybody has to do it THEIR way or it's not 'cvore'... but if you're majority animal foods, you're close enough & doing better than most ppl out there to clean things up & take care of your health. Ppl need time to adjust and changes will be made along the way
I just paused the video @6:22 so I can make a comment. The beginning of your presentation is FANTASTIC! I really like how you outlined what you will cover. Your communication skills are exceptional. You are able to succinctly distill a lot of information into a digestible amount. You seem to really focus on your viewers and their needs / wants. I am subscribed and you will get a thumbs up. I really appreciate your time in putting this video together. Now, let me enjoy the rest of your presentation.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it :)
I agree. Jenny is an exceptional teacher/presenter. Nuanced, clear, concise, efficient, warm, and very human.
@@littleone31917 thank you😊😊😊
@@JennyMitich It's all true. 😊
I noticed this also. She doesn't throw in all the filler like some presenters. She does not waste our time!!
I’m new to this since researching this for the past two months by watching Dr. Ken D Berry. This video was very helpful in explaining the differences in Carnivore. Well done.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm eating beef, lamb and yolks only + sardines sometimes. It suits me best and causes none digestive problems.
As someone whose body doesn’t respond well to dairy, I loved this breakdown. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
All well said. Yes, it took many of us a while to get to Carnivore, we need patience for it to work for us. Great chat Jenny. 👏🇦🇺
Thank you :)
"THE ONE THAT WORKS FOR YOU"
My thoughts exactly you beat me to it
Amen! It’s not a one fits all diet!
@@suew4609 Yes and digestion needs to be looked into where biome is concerned. I'm learning that actual healing needs some level of variety that Lion/meat alone isn't going to handle well bc digestion of large amounts of meat & absorbtion of those nutrients is an issue too.
It amazes me how many people out there think that since it worked for them it works for everyone. If you look at the asian vs the african elephant, they have very different diets one eats mostly grasses the other eats mostly leaves. People are like that, were all genetically adapted to thrive on certain diets and they're going to be different
@@suew4609 Yes!! Regardless of what *ANYONE* says, yes, there is no one size fits all way to eat! Do what works for *you* and *your body.*
I started strict carnivore almost a year ago but i noticed that my jiu jitsu workouts were a little flat so I ate a little fruit separately when I ate the meat so that it doesn't interfere with mineral absorbtion and my workouts improved. Thank you for your videos they are very informative. May god bless and protect you and your family
Thank you so much! Yea, it took almost a full year to get back to full strength for me
Jenny, I just watched your interview with Dave M. You mentioned "optimal baseline is higher". I want to share something with you that I wrote. It is long and I don't know if this will work. (I deleted a bunch so this would send.)
This is an attempt to spark an interest into what some know as the Carnivore Diet. This is NOT an attempt to get everyone or anyone to go Carnivore. It is an attempt to spark interest of people, or even one person, to do some research and make an informed choice between Carnivore, something similar to Carnivore, and the Standard American Diet. Much of what I have written is not something I have read or heard, but pieced together by many things I have learned and thought out. This may not all be 100% correct but in my opinion close enough. Take it for what you will.
SOMETHING CHANGED: A hundred years ago, health problems were related to infections and injury. Now, we have diseases for every system of the body. We need medications to make our bodies work right. How did we ever survive hundreds of thousands of years of evolution without our medication? Something changed. Some say it is the switch from eating mostly protein and fat to eating mostly carbohydrates. Others say it is the consumption of seed oils and highly processed food (which contain seed oil). Some say it is both.
BAD GENES: Many people think that the reason they have chronic diseases or conditions is because they were born with a bad set of genes. This is mostly NOT true (my opinion). The human body is wondrous. We are not designed wrong. It is our diet. Gut biome also plays a role and that is based on what we eat and what antibiotics we have been given.
LETS CHANGE THE WAY AMERICA EATS AND FAIL TO MONITOR THE RESULTS: In the military, we practiced Total Quality Management. We may have been doing something a certain way for a long time. If a change is suggested, what is the reason? What is the problem we want to fix? What changes are we going to make to fix the problem? How are we going to measure the results of our solution? The food pyramid was a change. The problem was heart disease. Had they followed up to see if the change produced the desired result, they would have seen that things were worse. What a disaster! Oh, to top it off, the military must follow the dietary guidelines. It is testament to (something), when you make a change, have disastrous results, and do not re-think the situation. Many good men and women, some of whom I served with and ran around the decks of the ship with, trying to help them lose weight, were discharged because they failed to meet the fitness standards no matter how hard they tried. They were not the problem. It was the food. But who would have thought that to lose weight, you had to consume fat?
EVOLUTION I: Does evolution from the past have anything to do with what we should be eating today for optimum health, physical performance, and mental performance. Of course it does! The diet on which and to which a species evolves is that specie’s proper diet forever. We ate meat based, primarily fatty red meat and fish. If we ate plant based, it was because we could not get meat. If we ate plant based, our body knew there was something wrong, we may be facing famine, so our body stored fat. We did not have to think it. Our hormones made the choice for us. In this case, the hormone insulin. When we ate fatty red meat, we did not store fat. We needed to be lean, strong, and mentally keen to hunt animals. It is the same today. When we eat an animal based diet, we do not store fat. When we eat a plant based diet, we store fat. When we ate fatty meat, our body was optimizing our mental, physical, and offspring producing abilities. When we ate carbs, our body shifted from optimizing our mind and body, to optimizing our chance of surviving a famine. In the past, we primarily ate the food that kept us in the optimization mode. Today, we primarily eat the food that places our body in the suboptimal mode, focused on surviving famine. We may no longer need this feature of our evolution but it is still there. When we eat plant based, insulin is elevated. With insulin elevated, we store fat, reduce BMR (to conserve energy); turn off autophagy (now is not the time for repair), and retain sodium (because we don’t get salt from plants). Since many say that Carnivore lifts the fog from the brain, I would have to say that in the suboptimal mode apparently our brain is subdued somewhat to again conserve energy and survive famine.
CHOOSE YOUR FUEL: Since your brain consumes the most energy, your choice of fuel affects the brain the most. Your choices of fuel are limited, glucose or fat. One molecule of glucose equals 32 units of energy (ATP). One molecule of fatty acid equals 122 units of energy (ATP). Glucose is not as stable as fat (saturated fat). Converting glucose to ATP produces ROS and free radicals as a byproducts. ROS (reactive oxygen species) and free radicals damage cells. We age due to the accumulation of this cellular and mitochondrial damage. Saturated fat is very stable. Converting saturated fat to ATP does not produce ROS and free radicals. Unsaturated fats, like vegetable oil and seed oils, are very unstable and should be avoided.
Hello and thank you so much for sharing! This is wonderful :)
Thanks for this, appreciate it. Glad to know my carnivore lifestyle is not producing more ros!
I choose the most affordable version of Carnivore because I shop at Walmart -
🔘 lots of hard boiled eggs AND/OR fried eggs
🔘 canned sardines packed in water
🔘 🧈 butter
🔘 fatty red meat - less expensive cuts like boneless chuck
🔘 bacon
Yum!

Look for great 🥩🍗🍖🥓meat sales…read the weekly grocery flyers on line… buy a vacuum sealer and buy only meats on sale and stock up…avoid freezer burn. Never pay full price for meats‼
I never, ever do! Not ever!
@@gladysobrien1055😃 Thank You so much for the tip. I appreciate your input. 😄😍👍
@@vangodwinmyyoutubealias7592 Anytime!
Oh, I bought SIRLOIN TIP STEAK … it was half price only $4.97/pound. I had never eaten this cut of beef before… so, since ground beef half price is $4.00/pound…I thought how can I go wrong when steak is only $1 more than sale ground beef⁉ Right⁉Well, this meat is tough…so, I experimented…I placed a single serving of beef in a cereal bowl and squirted it with 2-3 tbsp (gluten free, 🇨🇦French’s Brand) Worcestershire Sauce…and let it just sit and marinade a whopping two hours! Grilled it on my Weber Q2400 electric BBQ and sprinkled Montreal Steak Spice on both sides! Grill it to my preferred taste…and it melted in my mouth!
Delicious‼Now, I wonder if there is going to be another sale soon‼
I am an organic gardener. I trade my organic produce with other local folks as much as I can for cash to buy meat or for free range eggs, while keeping the herbs and spices I grow to season all of that yummy meat! There is always an option! I dehydrate or can my jalapenos to add some kick to ground beef recipes!
Nice! Sounds tasty :)
Just found your channel. Thanks for the info. I have been Carno for 1 year. Minimal wt loss due to extremely high insulin. No one talks about this!!! I struggled with cravings and did take 'breaks' just to keep from carnivore 'fatigue'. It always back fires and I end up feeling like crap. I think like you, I need to have a few veggies and shift to meat based.....IDK. Just went Lion diet, 2 ribeyes daily 18:6 fasting. BG normal now BUT having sleep disturbance due to extremely low BG during the night.....50! So I'm going to switch my first meal to 12pm and last meal to 6 pm so I can have better sleep thanks to your video on that.😘 I think your videos are really based in sane measured thought.
Thank you so much! Do you track your food? You may not be eating enough.
I have RA, currently I’m at the point where even walking is very very painful. I’m going to do this diet, I can’t live like this. This pain is off the charts. I want to get better.
Hello and I think that is a great idea!
Great video! I'm 13 months carnivore and I've lost 35lbs. I've cheated a bunch but when I do it's only a bite or two and then I throw the carb laden bad choice away. It's getting a lot easier. I have been eating a lot of cheese and decided today actually to give up the cheese to see what happens. Thanks for sharing all this great information.
That's great! Progress not perfection :)
@@soulTraveller144No. It’s that kind of thing that got me sick and overweight in the first place! You’re on the wrong channel to promote that!
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your pregnancy. I had 4 babies enjoyed all 4 even though I gained 50# each time. Was dairy farming at the time and nursed all of them so the weight came off within 6 months without trying. At the age of 60 I wished I could say that again 😅.
Hello! I wish I was one of those people that enjoyed it, mine was not fun. Hoping the next one goes better, I think it will :)
That book change your diet change your mind is a wonderful read.
Agreed! Its so good!
This was so well done and straight to the point.
Thank you :)
Thank you so much for this Video. This has been THE MOST concise nutrient rich Carnivore centered video I've come across, which prompted me to share it with my friend and see about trying out Carnivore together.
Thank you so much!
Yes! The most concise and informative!
Was strictly carnivore for 14 months. Lost 50 lbs. Blood work showed Homocystine 13.7 and RDW 16.2 out of range. Now added organic leafy greens, asparagus, avocados etc. to bring down homocysteine level. Still very low carb but likely more in the ketovore range.
Nice! Ketovore is awesome too :)
Thank you for all you do 👍🏿
I appreciate that :)
Another great video, Jenny! I love how straight forward and informational all of your videos are! Your videos are my go-to to share with people who may be interested in this WOE.
Thank you so much :)
I went for the one with dairy. I’m not interested in loosing too much weight. And I like cheese and raw cream. I have found it really helps my arthritis. And hoping that my back issues will disappear
Going into month #2
And I do use some seasonings
Mostly salt pepper garlic
And lots of butter!!!😊
That's great! Im glad you're seeing results :)
Great video on carnivore thank you! Very practical advice!
Thank you!
Thank you for this. It explains a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much I really appreciate your information ❤
Beef, eggs, a littel cheese and heavy cream. I do drink coffee
Coffee is fine 😅
Thank you Ma'am Jenny!!!!!....🥰
Youre very welcome :)
Very instructive Jenney. You did a lot of research on this video. Authoritative without being pushy. Thanks for this video.
Thank you!
@@JennyMitich 🙏👍
Great video Jenny! ❤
Glad you liked it!!
At last ... Common sense. I'm 77 and at 84 days on cnvr and had to add a tiny amount of fruit to keep blood sugar level. And to overcome boredom with all meat. We are all different. It's experimental until you get it right. Good info.❤
Hello and thank you so much!
Subscribed! You are very thorough and explained things very well like Dr Berry. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
People that think theyre allergic to eggs should try farm fresh they dont spray the outsides with preservatives like all store bought eggs have. I found thats what i was allergic to.
The issue with commercial eggs is not that they spray them with preservatives, but that they wash them in a bleach and other chemical solution that penetrates the pours of the egg shells. You don't have this with farm fresh eggs. Also, people who are sensitive to chicken eggs usually can eat duck eggs as the protien in duck eggs is different than in chicken eggs.
Eggs were making me feel sick and giving me all day heartburn as well as indigestion. On a whim I tried pasture raised organic eggs (Happy Egg) and they did not make me ill or give me heartburn. I thought it was a fluke so I tested it out in different ways - nope, in my case it is absolutely legit.
We had our own chickens, so our eggs weren't sprayed or washed with anything, and my daughter was still extremely sensitive to them. When we found out (had food sensitivity tests), I sold the chickens and got some young ducks. We had a wait of several months before the ducks started laying, and my daughter -- who is autistic and has lupus -- was doing MUCH better without any eggs in her diet. Finally started getting duck eggs, and nope. She can't eat those either. I have considered trying quail (again), but suspect she wouldn't tolerate quail eggs any better, so probably won't do that again.
@@kathleensanderson3082 , wow, now that's a real egg allergy. Best to the both of you. My daughter has cerebral palsy so I'm with you.
Funny, because my sister and I are both allergic to eggs. Now I can't eat them at all, I did try, but my sister had found that farm fresh eggs don't bother her. Odd how that works out.
I've been carnivore for 1 week now. I'm 31. Energy levels are much more stable, my anxiety is basically completely gone, it's much easier to focus, and I'm not experiencing anymore bloating and IBS problems. My skin looks much healthier too. It's kinda hard because I really enjoy vegetables but I think it's worth it.
Wonderful!
Well done, Jenny!
Thank you!
Love love this info for my friends and family cause to explain how I feel and look after my 90 days… July 2nd will be my sixth month. 🙌🏼 Visiting Chicago from California for the next 14 days would love to meet up🙏
Great! There is a Meatup in Naperville on Saturday June 22nd, message Karen to RSVP. I will be there :) instagram.com/karen.s.miles.3/
I have had juvenile arthritis since for as long as I can remember. I remember trying to describe the pain to my mom., My best description was that it felt like something was eating my bones. The doctor told her it was growing pains. At 50, this is the first time I have ever known what it was like to not always be in pain. I would have days of less pain or more pain, but have never had no pain until carnivore. Also, I am able to identify the foods that make me miserable after eating them. This was a great break down of the diet for people trying to figure out where to start and why.
Wow, thank you for sharing your story! That is incredible 😊
So happy for you, it probably feels like an alien left your body because you were feeding it fat and protein…enjoy your path to health and happiness…thank God each and every day too!
@@kathleendellavia7862 yes. I'm so thankful, but sad for a life of pain that was such an easy fix. Everything I did that I thought was healthy was, in fact, what was making me feel so bad.
Don’t look behind just look ahead and set a goal to do a 5k race, walk it, you meet so many in-kind people, get a bike ride it in your neighborhood, go to church during the week…do something you’ve never been able to do or could even attempt to do…one feather in your cap at a time…feeling and being healthy is more important than all the wealth you could accumulate! You got a second chance because you listened and learned…me too… 🙏🤗
@@soulTraveller144Wrong! That’s what made me sick, all of those vegetable toxins. What are you selling?
I definitely hit the carb cravings when I finished a 4-month carnivore elimination diet. I drank coffee but I did all meat, some dairy and I was unable to eat fruit as it really messed with me. Mostly symptoms related to oral allergy syndrome. After the 4-months I was able to eat fruit again. A natural path wanted me to get back on eating fruit and veggies along with the meat and this messed me up. I craved donuts and bad foods and gain 15 lbs.
I def rec eating carnivore and for me I just eat less fruit, no veggies. And I eat raw dairy from a local farmer and this doesn’t mess with me at all. I rarely eat chicken. I just don’t like it as much as before I did carnivore
Nice! Im glad you were able to tweak this way of eating to your lifestyle and what works best for you!
I have been on Carnivore for 3 years after 10 on keto. I'm 67 years old and I teach martial arts and work two full-time jobs. The longer I've been on Carnivore the more I realize that spices and pasteurized Dairy and other things that I used to think were okay actually we're not okay and would cause diarrhea and things which they never did before I was carnivore. Realizing that I've been cleaning my body out and making it more pure inside I was becoming less tolerant to bull crap in my diet therefore I've gone from least strict to the most strict and it's improving constantly I eat beef and I drink warm non-child water only and I salt occasionally once a month or so I might have some eggs but that's the total extent of my diet no Dairy no cheese no spices of any kind. And the results keep getting better the more I get pure carnivore
Great video and information. I started with BBBE and stay with it to this day because it works for me ! Im going on 6 months and feel amazing. Im in this lifestyle for life!! Im healthier now at age 66 than i was all my life with gut issues and chronic inflammation etc etc.
Thats great!
Thank you.. You have answered some of the questions that my friends have been asking me.. I have been 80% carnivore 20% other healthy foods since March 2024. I am down from 280 pounds to 252 pounds. My blood pressure was in the 155 to 175 over 78 to 89 range respectively and now hovering around 132/80.. I am diabetic and My blood sugar is more stable now around 6 to 7 and will soon be where i want it to be (around 4.5 to 5). I did have some oxalate dumping last week. However, all in all I feel better. Have a good and blessed day. ☮
That’s great! We don’t all respond to the same diet! My weight loss was so slow until I added a piece of fruit to each meal, and then I lost 26 lbs.
Wow, that's great! Good work!
I haven’t been able to do carnivore for the 90 day trial period….longest I’ve gone was 6 weeks and my metabolism plummets! Some people need about 100-130g of carbs for proper thyroid function. I’m definitely in that group. I added fruit back to my diet and doing much better but definitely envious of those that thrive on strict carnivore for the ketones.
Hello! Yea, its highly individualized.
Hmmm, maybe that’s my problem. I have Hashimoto’s and I haven’t felt well on meat or carnivore alone. I added back a little fruit and I my bowels feel better, no nausea and I’ve finally started losing weight!
Same issue with metabolism on straight carni. I thrive on a few carbs as well. Whole food types, just a little. Night and day strength difference in gym, less fatigue walking or running.
I was so weak on carnivore. I felt very calm, but I noticed that my base line serotonin levels seemed rly low. I kind of felt flat and emotionally blunt all the time. Gained muscle. Joints felt great. Low mood and energy though
@@Coden11 you may have needed to adjust a few things. How long were you on it?
Great video, new subie here thanks!
Welcome!
This was so helpful, as are your answers in your community. Trust the process is huge for me, as well as listening to my body. I’m hoping for a woosh sometime in the future too 😀
Thank you so much! I too am hoping for a whoosh, I have been stuck at the same weight for 4 months now. But my body comp is changing, definitely gaining muscle and losing fat.
Me too. A whoosh would encourage me to keep going.
I am on a meat wheat diet - fried mince beef, fried chopped pork luncheon eaten together with cheddar cheese and Weet-Bix (Australian dry wheat breakfast cereal). No fruit and vegetables. But I do have coffee with no milk sweetened with apricot and raspberry jam. I drink cold refrigerated water after a meal.
Been doing keto off and on for 5yrs bc i have MS and a blood disease that causes spasms. This video helped better than all of my years of research! I needed this! Im on a fast, plan on breaking it tomorrow & this video helped me understand the right way to go into this… 90 days beef & salt

I have Graves disease and did Keto at the end of 2019 and lost 60 lbs. and felt Great! I tried to stay on that lifestyle but stressed about our world change in 2020, plus my family was not all on board and we just went back to eating everything. I have been doing a lot of research the last 2 months abouts the Carnivore diet. The last 9 months I have gotten away from all the bioenginered foods and toxic crap. We as a family are starting keto again, but now I really want to go all carnivore to see if it will fix the Graves. I feel I could still do that even if my family stays on keto.

Welcome!!
Just a note: dextrose is used in iodized salt as a stabilizing agent for the iodine. If you just want sodium chloride get pickling salt, it doesn't have any anticaking agents, iodine, or dextrose. The little bit of dextrose used to stabilize the iodine is barely noticeable and shouldn't effect the diet is someone wants to include the iodine in their diet. Sometimes we just take things to extremes.
Great point!
Yeah I bought some iodine drops for extra
I eat steak with white onions and a stick of butter. I also eat cheese with organic raw unfiltered honey sometimes.
Sounds delish 😋
I am 42 days into carnivore. I did have the odd pickle in the 1st couple weeks. I plan to go back to keto when my garden of low carb veggies come in, lettuces, zucchini, green beans, in about month. I am starting to really miss veggies. While I am feeling great, my weight is only down 10 bs although I have a lot to lose. Menopausal, T2, high BP.
10 pounds in 42 days is amazing! Keep up the good work :)
totally stumbled across your videos , yea I was that now less 50% Now Im looking forward to convincing the Mrs That a family friend literately just mentioned this new way of eating two days later wallah here ya go. thanks so much for great videos ..

Welcome aboard!
I do the all meats, eggs and butter. Mostly dictated by living on social security. About one third is beef, one third pork and one third chicken hind quarters. My beef is mostly from a privately owned butcher shop with 85% lean at $2.99 and chuck primals at $4.99. Chicken hind quarters for 70 cents a lb in 10 lb bags and pork shoulder at$1.59. The last eggs I bought were $1.56 per dozen. I obviously cut up the pork shoulder and beef chuck and "steak" it all. Put about a pound in quart ziplock bags and freeze. I buy about once a month. About $5 per day for food
Wow! Where do you live that things are so cheap?
@@suew4609 I live in Northeast Neb near a city of about 75,000 people and buy most of my meat at a privately owned meat market that is in that city No one else i close to that hamburger price.
The beef chuck price is fairly standard if you have a costco near by , There are two other meat markets in that city but they are not in the price game at all. There are NO bargains in meat at Walmart. The chicken hind quarters usually come from a regional grocery chain. The prices I am giving are pretty consistent, not some out of this world special sale. Eggs are Walmart, bacon is usually from that regional chain WHEN it is on sale. Bought 20 lbs about 3 weeks ago for $3.98. Living on social security so I never even look for the grass fed, pastured, organic stuff
@@johnsonpaul1914you would hate to be in Canada, where I am . Cheapest eggs here are 5.99 dozen , meat is horrendously expensive too .
I know a lot of people on SS/fixed income (as well as plenty others who AREN'T) who insist they can't afford meats, eggs, and butter...even though they almost certainly could if they simply changed their grocery (and other) spending habits. You are proof it can be done. 😊
@@katie7748
Thanks. I do draw the line at spending the extra for the grass fed free range etc. I just can't justify the difference in price. I Had a meat buying day yesterday. Chuck roll (21 lbs,) 85% hamburger (13 lbs) and 2 pork butts (17lbs) and a 1 lb package of liver. Total cost was $181 and change. About 8 lbs of the chuck and 4 lbs of the pork my wife will use for whatever she chooses. We eat very differently, I have enough chicken to last the next month and the only other thing I will buy in the coming month is eggs. About a pound and a half per day does me just fine and before anyone says that is not enough-- I am 77, have shrunk down to 5'6'' and weigh about 155. I feel fine at that level of eating. Purpose walk 2-4 miles per day and have a 4 hour per day 5 days a week part time job in a kitchen on my feet
Due to what I've read about the Randle Cycle and glycation I must dissuade everyone from carnivore and fruit diet. Glycation is the misshaping of proteins due to sugars such that they do not function properly. Collagen misshaping is especially noticeable with skin wrinkles. Fructose is a worse culprit than glucose. Avoid ALL types of sugars and carbs for best health. There are no essential carbs in the human diet.
This was the most understanding video I have seen and understood! There was no disrespect to the docs, but she explained a lot of the questions I had, such as why butter isn't considered dairy! Lol ...
Lame but I didn't know that. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Pretty good info, but as an addendum of my own two sense on salts as I've done on several other channels, let me offer some things I NEVER hear anyone else say:
1. One of the best sources for good clean salt, but also quite cheap in bulk by comparison, is salt meant for salt water aquariums, such as reef tank type aquariums. This stuff is often just pure evaporated sea water or an analogous, and the reason why is because fish (especially salt water fish) are exquisitely sensitive to various potentially harmful chemicals in their water that humans are more resilient to. Now, I do have to mention that there is a distinction between products marketed specifically on the label as "aquarium salt" vs sea salts meant for salt water aquariums. "Aquarium salt" is actually pure sodium chloride, not evaporated sea water. Salt has its various uses in fresh water aquariums as well, but those products cut out all the other nutrients and such found in sea water so as not to add any unwanted elements. So long story short, I'd get the salts for salt water aquariums for your consumption. Also, bear in mind we're not talking about iodized salts, and that could be an issue for strict carnivore.
2. I really don't care for LMNT, and it has to do with the MASSIVE mark up in price for what you're actually getting, which is just small amounts of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium malate, and some alternative sweeteners + a bit of flavoring. I don't understand the price gouging when all they're really doing is keeping out some of the more harmful chemical agents that make the drink taste a little better (I've heard LMNT tastes pretty salty, so how are they compensating rather than just not adding the chemicals?). Personally, I just buy the individual salts and alt sweeteners and mix up my own. It's really not hard once you figure out the measurements you want. And actually in that regard, personalization is a huge benefit of mixing your own. I have magnesium deficiency issues regardless of how much is naturally in my diet, plus I like some extra potassium, and don't feel I need quite so much sodium since I add a lot to my meat anyway, so I just do roughly equal amounts of all three in my electrolyte mixture, and add some allulose, xylitol, and stevia for sweetness (the combination of sugars mostly cancels out each other's weird after tastes; I really recommend people experiment with this).
Lion is a great, easy way to start off. But I'm a firm believer in balanced diet, elimination(problem) foods aside. So eggs, dairy, and fruit/nuts are crucial to get micro nutrients and trace carbs for healthy hormone function. Unless you have some serious disease that prevent you from variety eating, i feel the balanced path is best. Remember, all carbs are not bad, your body is designed for them. The problem is usually over eating them or a rouge protein intolerance (gluten, etc.) That causes problems.
I started carnivore last week, I can fly, see through walls and see sound
But can you leap tall buildings in a single bound?
@@jtsra7 no, but if I introduce eggs I might
Are you sure that white stuff you sprinkled on top was salt?

thanks for the video. im so sick and need some help😊
You've got this!
This is a very good video. I’m thinking about starting the Carnivore. I have done a diet in the past called Ideal Protein and had very good luck with it. Lost 65 lbs. Over the years I gained it all back and then some. I really need to do something now. Can you tell me what i can find really good info on how to even begin this journey? What to eat. When to eat. How often. How much fluid. Kudos to a well put together video. Following!
Hello! Check out my In-Depth Guide to the Carnivore Diet video, that will answer most if not all of your questions.
Excellent content & advice, Jenny! 👍
Thank you :)
Anything with plants, isn't carnivore. There are only 2 types: Lion and Carnivore.
For me, I must create a carnivore➕type of menu…or I would not enjoy it at all. My body is not so ill that I must only eat meat and water which I would hate. I hate water 💧💧💧and would die of dehydration‼You have to do what works for you and do your best‼Good luck‼
I Didn't tolerate high fat low carb. I have hashimoto's and celiacs. I have gallbladder and liver problems. I bought 60 lb of grassfed sirloin. I can't eat dairy due to my autoimmune. I ate eggs and beef mostly grassfed. I went off spices. I used Himalayan salt. My gallbladder couldn't handle the fat. I would be in pain constantly. I tried oxbile and digestive enzymes didn't help. I wanted to feel better. I am 57 and wanted more energy and decrease inflammation. I had a problem with IBS-C. So I went back to paleo. I eat no grains, dairy or soy. I am trying decrease processed food. Really wanted low carb to work but my gut works better with more fiber like apples and some starchy vegetables. I try to stay away from nightshades.
@@soulTraveller144 I'm trying to figure out why you are on this site. If this isn't your thing go find your like minded people. To each their own,right?
@@brigittedrew5478Exactly! He’s just a troll.
I am very similar to you. I have Hashimoto’s, no gall bladder, gut problems and SIBO, lots of inflammation with several autoimmune diseases, and arthritis. It all causes chronic pain. And I forgot, the worse thing I have is idiopathic small fiber neuropathy. I was really hoping Carnivore would help at least some of my illnesses, but so far it has been a disappointment. I think my gut needs to be fixed first. Check out EO Nutrition channel, with Elliot Overton, for how to do that. I’m working on his protocol, but am still early on. I think it will take some time. In the meantime, I added a little fruit into my diet and that has helped my bowels, nausea, and improves an overall unwell feeling. It hasn’t touched my pain or fatigue, sadly. I’m really sad about this as I’ve tried so many things, diets and meds and supplements, without improving. It’s God’s will, it seems, that I suffer. I’m not going to give up, but I’m just so tired. Elliot Overton also has a Thiamine protocol for people like us. I’ve only just started it, so we’ll see. I suggest trying to eat whole foods and getting rid of the processed junk, and sugar. Keep your carbs low, and watch the plant toxins. But, you do what is best for you, as only you know how you feel. I wish you well, and I pray we both find healing🙏🏻
Find YT vids from Dr Ken Berry ( a physician and 6 yr carnivore, and his wife Neisha who is a nurse and healed her Hashimotos with Ketovore. He has videos on most health issues. Definitely on autoimmune and IBS. Good luck!
Hello and thank you for this video. What is under the meat category?
A question I have not seen addressed and I'd like your opinion on is centered around supplements separated into (1) DAILY and then into (2) DURING ILLNESS and (3) FOR PREVENTION [like during COVID, Flu, and cold outbreaks]
I like to take Vitamin C and D3+K2+Zinc supplements I get from other UA-camr's online stores. What are your thoughts as far as taking these (1) DAILY, (2) DURING ILLNESS, (3) FOR PREVENTION?
I'm also looking to add daily Vitamin A, [SPECIFICALLY Lugol's Solution] Iodine, and powdered Collagen[From 100% Grassfed Beef Bones]. What are your thoughts here?
There are some supplements I wanted to take for general health benefits, Apple Cider Vinegar, Cod Liver Oil or Cod Roe, Beef Organ supplement.
Last weird question is around coffee, and then also on the new mushroom coffees that have been going around social media. Is it necessary to cut out traditional coffee, instant, K-Cups? Should I be wary of mushroom coffee?[I use it as an alternative, not an additive. I also put 1-2Tb of A2 Kirkland Costco milk in sometimes]
I eat virtually no seafood, and before coming off the SAD diet my version consisted of meat, starch, chips, chocolate, and ice cream. I'm looking to lose weight, increase energy, and improve metabolic health.
For me, I only take what I can't get in my food or not enough of. For example, I take lugals and a b2 and b3 complex for my thyroid health. I also take magnesium and potassium for my electrolyte health, I tend to be low magnesium for some reason. And lastly I take DHA because I don't eat a lot of seafood.
I think supplements are fine, as long as they are high quality. I also think its important to take some supplements in conjunction with others, like D3 with K2 and if doing high levels of D3 supplementation making sure to include magnesium as well. I try to get most of my nutrients from my food and the sun (in the case of D). I've been experimenting with an organ supplement because I hate the taste of liver, and I take magnesium every night before bed.
As far as coffee, I think its fine. You can try eliminating it for a few weeks to see if it makes a difference. I recently switched over to Nespresso, they use aluminum pods instead of plastic. As far as mushroom coffee, just read the ingredients label and make sure its free of junk.
@@JennyMitichHow on earth would you determine a good supplement from a bad one, as they aren’t regulated? I think the only way you can tell is if it actually does what it claims 🤷🏻♀️
I started out with the Lion diet and then after 1 month, I added eggs and dairy. 2 months later, I added fruits.
I didn't get a notification. Sad I missed it.
Its ok!
Ok... some thoughts: to me, the carnivore diet, strictly, is a limited version of the so-called Keto diet and, what is quite often not mentioned, is that it is somewhat tricky to adapt to ketosis-- and, especially in the beginning, (it) may cause flu like symptoms and lack of energy...(and most carnivores do not mention that this diet will usually change the body's energy systems away from carb-based, that is a fermentation energy (using sugars and carbs break-down processes), and the body switching over to a ketonic energy basis, where the end product is ketones..) *and ketosis, naturally occurs when one cannot find and eat much of anything, as in starving* (so I suggest that if one is smart, they will try to get a basic understanding of what keto is and its good and bad points....)
Now, having said that, I personally, and I am NOT an EXPERT or Doctor, but, as clearly mentioned in this video, I would caution first, the use of dairy... and second, the use of eggs... and I say this because personally, I am allergic to dairy, almost all dairy, even cheese... and second, I basically do not like eggs at all, in any form... (just me, I guess... )
Admission, a few years ago, I did keto for almost two years, got my weight down about 50 pounds to my high school size body, BUT, then, issues crept in, and I gave it up... (I was 70 years old at that time and in really good shape, working out, kayaking, etc. all while on keto... ) but then I began to get first, kidney stones, very painful... and this may have been caused by my use of supplements like zinc, magnesium, etc. ... but next came a bout with Shingles, which was so painful, I checked into emergency-- the hospital-- where they lanced two large boils on my back under my shoulder blade, and they kept me overnight... (I had NEVER been in the hospital... never taken much medicine for anything.. never liked alcohol or used drugs...) Well, the next day I was informed that I now had MRSA infection, many of my vital organs were shutting down-- and that I should maybe call my next of kin... (and this place had no real idea of what a keto diet was at that time, had nothing I could safely eat... and they kept the room so cold I was freezing to death...) So, the next day, after having the machines going off all night every 15 minutes, I demanded to be released, and boy what a fight I had with the staff over that... ( I was told that I would surely die, still had to fight the Doctor to get him to let me go... telling him that if he wanted to say good bye, that I would likely be back in the morgue in a day or two... thank-you... that if I was going to die, I wanted to do that at home... etc.)
Well, that was SEVEN years ago, and I nursed myself back to good health, but there were many times I told HIM that if he wanted me to go... it was ok, I was ready... NOW,
I am going to try this carnivore thing... but I am going to do it the Frank Sinatra way, which is my way... and I may be wrong in all this... but...part of this was all about finding the perfect burger to eat... (without the fries and bun, of course...) But for me, I just want to lose about 30 pounds or so and give my old/young body a boost... and I want to kayak five miles or so without much effort and of course, go dancing every once in a while... But, here is my sin...
I will NOT totally go without some sugar... *at age 77* but this is because I am NOT diabetic at all.... and I am talking very, very little,(sugar) and it may keep me out of ketosis... but, so what .? AND, I am fine with that... I feel, for me, that a teaspoon or so of cake frosting is how I am going to cheat on this thing... (because life is no fun unless you cheat on a few minor things... just don't tell lies and cause pain to others)
So lets see how this goes.... and I wish you all the best of all... I think I got a few more good years left... with or without sugar and you..... thanks.... rp (just be mentally tough, resilient, and do it your way.... because there really is NO true right way)
3 years and on in Carnviore!! For some who exposed to tumors , I consume fruits from once a and a while sometimes I skipped totally for months , My diet changes according to my liver status olive oil and tuna with white yolk of eggs currently because my liver is off with sunflower combined with pumpkin seeds.
High fat diet when my liver is working properly!
Buffalo and cows dairy are hell toxic and inflammatory to me causing me horrible allergies
I'm on the lion and from time to time i eat maple 2 table spoon or dark chocolate a handful exempted of the 14 allergen has a treat. i don't tolerate pork and I'm allergic to pretty much anything else and i find out I'm 100% fine on the lion diet! Doctors think i have an eating disorder that I'm scare of food even though I'm ALLERGIC. but i never felt better and been this fit .i never was obese but damn I'm happy with my new beach body at 35 with a kid ...The most ironic thing is that I'm healthier/fit then those "doctors"
Yea, there is a lot of fear mongering out there calling Carnivore an eating disorder. If you are healthy and thriving, while at the same time nourishing your body with the food that it enjoys, I think you are doing great :) And perhaps down the line, once your body has had some time to heal from whatever is going on, you may be able to reintroduce other foods.
I love your channel! Very informative. I am animal based. I’ve tried only meat but my workouts seem to suffer without carbs. When my body needs carbs I will eat blueberry pancakes with raw honey, frozen fruit or pasta. I also drink raw milk (yummy).
Thank you! Sounds delicious :) I am glad you have found what works best for you, that is key
I have been a full carnivore for 8 months and have had a lot of amazing benefits....too many to list. But I have found, especially for the last two months that my energy feels low. My cycle has gotten very late and I cannot get rid of the leg cramps even though I have totally addressed the electrolyte issue and have been eating organ meats as well. Even though I have a little more weight I would like to lose, after listening to Dr. Saladino, I have decided to try adding back in just a few carbs in the form of fruit. I am trying just one piece of fruit a day to see if that brings back cravings or any other symptoms. I am generally very healthy and I didn't have food addictions before, or any allergies that I was aware of. What I really like about this is I can really tailor my food to my particular make up and needs and I can see and feel right away exactly how things affect me. If the fruit is an issue and doesn't solve my problems, I will know very quickly and I can adjust.
Agreed! You can make small adjustments and determine very quickly what does and doesnt work for you :)
Since I added a high fat snack (a few strips of homemade beef jerky slathered in butter or ghee) after last meal per Dr Elizabeth Bright, I've had no more night cramps.
@@nannygirlkc nice!! Upping the fat can be helpful
I've been on the carnivore diet for 2 and a half months. I eat all meats except pork. I use butter and tallow, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin mostly and I do dairy. I started at 155 pounds and in a size 9 jean. I am down to 123 pounds and size 4 jean. I did this diet I had some forgetful moments and extra weight I dealt with and low blood pressure. My husband started on carnivore a few days from me and encouraged me to do it.
Wonderful! Amazing results :)
@@JennyMitich thank you!
That was me that had the whoosh after being stagnant for two months.😊 I'm currently hovering at 146.2 currently but, I believe I'm due for a whoosh again! The last 15 lbs WILL come off, of THIS I am SURE, but it may take longer and my age doesn't help.(62). I feel good, but may make some tweaks in July. I've been eating this way since 7-1-23 so a year coming up on 7-1-24 with at this time, a 46 lb loss.🙌 A few people are telling me to stay at the weight that I am at now; however, I would like to get to my goal of 130. 🙌🙏
It was you Beth! You've got this girl :)
Maybe you should listen to them. I only say this because my sister got down to her high school weight and she looks so much older with saggy skin.
@suew4609 doesn't matter. I'd rather have a healthy bmi, body fat %, visceral and subcutaneous fat levels than to be obese and put stress on my heart and organs.🙌
being carnivore or atleast animal based while pregnant is good, watch paul saladinos video on how diet affects the placenta
Fantastic video, great summaries of each level of strictness to carnivore! Carnivore has been my salvation in life, has utterly changed my quality of life for the better. I'm working to heal both endo and PCOS in addition to lifelong depression and CPTSD.
I work to eat red meat every day. I only season with salt. I need to start making bone broth again as that has supercharged my body by healing my gut very quickly. I drink coffee with only heavy cream added to it. I'll eat eggs that I separate a lot of the white out of before dropping in the pan of just butter. I drink a minimum of 40oz of water with a LMNT sleeve mixed in. When I'm able to afford it, I love indulging in Carnivore Snax that are fattier cuts (omg the brisket...🤤), and I absolutely LOVE Redmond's Real Salt. I need to order the 25lb bag when I can afford it. Oh, and I eat Kerrygold butter like cheese. Positively thriving! When I have the money and cold storage space for a cow share, I'll jump at the chance to support local ranchers.🙌
Hello and thank you so much! That all sounds delish :)
I really hoped it would be my salvation, but sadly it hasn’t been real good for me. I think I’ll try your bone broth for my gut which needs some help!
@@suew4609 when I have a steady supply of bone broth, I drink it as hot as I can tolerate first thing in the morning in place of coffee, with just a touch of salt added. The level of energy I've had throughout the day when I've been consistent with it is unmatched to caffeine. I mean it got to the point where I would drink coffee bcuz I desired it, not bcuz I felt the need for the caffeine jolt. Also my wounds healed faster, my hair and nails were in the strongest shape and I even noticed my dental health improved. Definitely give it a shot! The greatest takeaway from doing carnivore IMO is learning how to listen to what your unique body needs. What works for some may not work for you. Whatever makes you thrive health-wise, do that.🙌
I wanna try carnivore snax but it’s out of my budget right now. I tried a company called Flock. They sell fried chicken skins. It was alright. They just started selling Flock products at Target.
Doing BBBE at the moment!! It's what works better for me to lose weight! I need to lose 30kg.
Subscribing 🎉
Welcome!
I chose them all. 😊🎉
Hi jenny. I cannot find the link for the special considerations video when you're starting carnivore
Hello! It is coming out next Sunday :)
@@JennyMitich Thank you! This is Paula from Circle. 💜
@@littleone31917 oh hello!!
Well versed and introduced. Done keto in the past, wanting to try carnivore as an elimination diet, so to speak, although will probably do meat, seafood, eggs, and butter and add dairy later, if I can find a quality source of dairy locally. I live in Idaho, so I think it is likely.
I suddenly became severely allergic to beef (all red meat, actually) and shellfish in October, and no test (or specialist) has been able to explain why out of nowhere I’ve developed this problem of becoming allergic to almost everything. I would love to try this, but must need time to heal from SOMETHING- my “why” is to address what’s suspected to be an autoimmune issue, but I can’t touch the thing that would be helpful 😭
Hello! Sounds to me like maybe a histamine issue? Perhaps leaky gut.
I do a version that's not in your list. Ruminants and eggs, tiny amount of butter. No chicken, pork, turkey, fish.
Nice! Sounds tasty :)
The thing with dairy is that it needs to be raw and it needs to come from cows that are pasture-raised and grassfed. Dairy from factory farmed cows who eat GMO grains and are given lots of antibiotics and vaccines is a problem. That stuff makes its way into the milk, and the the homogenization and pasteurization process kills all of the beneficial bacteria and some of the nutrients in the milk.
Eggs should come from free-range chickens who, again, are not fed with GMO food. Happy animals produce happy, healthy food.
Agreed! But not a lot of people have access to raw dairy unfortunately. I know for me, the only farm around sells out so quick, and only the co-op members can get it daily.
@@JennyMitich it is very unfortunate that most people don't have access to the types of food that are the most beneficial for us :(
I never went strict. Started with steak eggs and cheese. Lost 60lbs and added fruit. So I'm off Carnivore but I'm protein or meat based and fruit
Nice!
My why is better health. I had a heart attack 7 years ago and have since then have learned that cardio vascular disease is caused mainly by hyper insulinemia. I also fall into the terrain theory of health which basically states that a healthy terrain can resist many illnesses. I have list of 21 health improvements that my Doctor finds hard to believe.
I love your why! Thank you for sharing :)
I want to do carnivore because I want to come off Blood Pressure meds, I’m prediabetic and do NOT want to go on insulin, and I’d like to lose weight.
Hello and welcome!
I suggest slowly adding more protein and fat, while decreasing carbs. I dove right in and paid for it big time! Some people have oxalate dumping which is really painful. So, it’s best to do it slow.
Yep go slow and ask doctor which pills to stop first . Be careful those pills drop faster than you think . Perhaps get a blood pressure cuff
Hi Jenny, what about beef liver? In which version should I introduce liver?
Hello! Whichever version you want. It could be included from the very strictest to the least strict because it is beef.
