I tried bulletproof coffee 3 days before Christmas '24 and noticed I wasn't hungry nor craving. I am 77 and a 52 year diabetic . I found carnivore eating. I told my husband and his smoking chef juices began flowing. We went cold turkey adding intermittent fasting. I had already worked up to riding our recumbent bicycle for half hour forward peddling and half hour backward. After a visit to chiropractor she noticed reduced inflammation. This after 10 day on carnivore. Husband lost 12 pounds in that 10 days, I lost 5 pounds. I feel great and blood sugar is going down. We have not had any of the negative responses mentioned here.
Good job Jenny! Enjoyed your video. I have been carnivore now for 554 days. Down 66 pounds and off all meds at 62 yrs old! The medical benefits are amazing.
I’ve been watching your videos for months and procrastinating. I don’t have any major health issues, yet. I’m almost 47 years old and the scale is creeping towards 260 I want to be here for any future grandkids, cancer also runs in my family. I’m going to give carnivore a real try on Monday 1/6 and your videos have helped me make a plan. Thanks for all of the great info and I will continue to follow you!
FOR ANYONE WITH COW DAIRY ISSUES: I've been sensitive & intolerant to cow dairy products all of my 70 yrs of life. 12 years ago it turned into a severe allergy. i had to stop eating all cow dairy including products labeled "may contain traces of milk". Now I've found that I can eat goat milk, goat butter, goat kefir & goat cheese etc with no issues!! Well-wishes ❤
The problem is affording goat milk. I love it, but the price has soared in recent years. The last time I had some was Christmas 2020. Price has always been higher for goat milk, but it has spiked in the past few years, so no delicious goat milk for me. 😢
Meijer stores & some health food stores have goat dairy products. The brand I buy is Meyenberg. I also sprinkle sea salt on the butter for a great taste. 1 4oz stick costs about $4 & lasts me a week. A 32oz bottle of kefir costs $8 & lasts about 2 weeks. Cheese is about 16$ lb & last 2 weeks. I also eat OMAD with fatty minced beef, eggs yolks & occasionally some fish. Well wishes
I heard its expensive and people who are or have hypertension or high blood pressure and salt could be a problem.also be constipated and heard about meat and colon cancer,sorry so many questions.your the only one i found to tell us word for word what happens while doing carnivore.thankyou
Hello! It doesnt have to be expensive, I am saving money eating this way. Quite the opposite for BP and hypertension. Carnivore normalized blood glucose levels pretty quickly and that can help resolve both issues. Sodium is not bad, its the ultra-processed foods that are the issue. I talk about all of these things and more in my Beginner Carnivore playlist, check that out. Those videos should answer most of your questions :)
Chuck roasts are one of my favorite meats to eat. I cook them in a Instant Pot pressure cooker. It will cook a huge roast in less than 2 hours and its falling apart tender. I then vacuum seal weighed portions and put them in the fridge. This sounds like a lot of work but it takes 2 minutes to get the roast cooking then about 5 minutes to vacuum seal it. This is really good for discounted meat so you can cook it quick and have it ready to eat instead of sitting in your freezer taking up space.
I began Carnivore about 1.5 years ago to lose weight, then to get healthy. I was devastated a couple years ago to learn I am prediabetic (so are my thinner friends) and have really dug into Carnivore. Just got my blood work results and while my A1C has some room to improve, it's 5.7 down from 6.1 last year. Everything else seems normal. Last year, my PA wanted me back in 6 mos. so she could track my cholesterol. But rebel that I am, I waited a year and look at that, I'm healthy. 😃 Had an eye exam and my doctor was very pleased by the health of my eyes. He revealed he is also Carnivore. 😉
Actually started carnivore in September of 2023, but fell of the wagon around June and have struggled to get back on. So I'll be using January as my next starting point to get back to good health.
I am disappointed in myself because I was doing great at the beginning of the year on carnivore. Then I had a hysterectomy and I couldn’t tolerate eating hardly anything for a bit let alone meat. Since then I’ve struggled to not only get back carnivore but even just back to anything that’s not a crap diet and I’ve gotten myself addicted to the sweets again. But I’m going to try again. Come Jan 1 I am going cold turkey again. I am not doing Jan 1 for any reason other than it helps me keep track of days and because I also plan on quitting all alcohol and I have some nice champagne to drink for NYE. It will be a fresh start for 2025. My goal is to get beyond 45 days because that was how many days I went last January before I had surgery. It’s a mental thing for me to get past that point.
Started once again yesterday. I have no problem cutting all veggies, my problem is sugar.....its so hard to quit espically around the holidays. Also the first time I was just exhausted then I added iodine that was a game changer. I am no longer exhausted I just have to stop the sugar.
Starting tomorrow, saw this at the perfect time. Option two works for me, cold turkey and tracking at least for the beginning to make sure i eat enough. Tired of going to the doctors and them not having answers. Thank you for this video!
I love your site. You communicate clearly and straight to the point. I'm trying to progress through this and eventually get to the first stages of carnivore by 2025. Thank you and will continue to watch and learn
Thank you for this video and channel! You've answered all my questions, even those, I didn't knew I had😂 I used to do keto for a long time but give it up some time ago. Now I'm getting prepared to start carnivore, as I believe it's gonna be even more effective. I'm sure it can heal my joints and give more energy. I really wish to stick to it, but I also know it's gonna be hard at the beginning... But way easier with your tips tho 😊
I can't put away anything, I work cooking serving and selling all kinds of junk food and exposed all day to it as well, and at home too. But I'm trying my best to stick to it.
I started doing carnivore back in October for a few reasons. 1) I had a few friends doing it so I did some research and thought it sounded like something I could do. 2) I quit smoking and wanted an eating routine/lifestyle so I wouldn’t gain weight with quitting. Since carnivore cut out sugars & carbs, it was perfect to keep me from stuffing my face with junk to offset my cravings. I’ve lost 22lbs & I feel great. I started cold turkey & no tracking. I’m just NOW learning I shouldn’t have done that because I don’t have a gallbladder… but 🤷♀️ I didn’t have issues … until this week. Lots of digestive issues. I’m in the bathroom A LOT. I’m also having food aversions with eggs and a few other types of beef. I thought maybe I messed up a prime rib roast and got food poisoning. Diarrhea, abdominal pain & nausea. But could it be keto flu? (I’m sorry for the descriptive information but I didn’t know a better way to explain) Thank you for all the information I’ve learned from you!! Because You, Laura Soath and SBG have been such a huge help for my journey!!
Hello! A lot of people go cold turkey without a gallbladder and they are fine. As far as your sickness now, it could just be a stomach bug too. Make sure to stay hydrated and maybe try avoiding anything that you think might be causing it, and then reintroduce each item in a few weeks to see if you have a reaction.
I'm getting closer to a Keto/Carnivore diet. My carbs consumption went down, and my fat intake went up since July 2024. I just need my own place, so I can cook my own meals, without anyone telling me what to do!
Keep going! You can do it! I keep telling my husband who has liver damage that I’m eating the diet he should be on! But, he is doing WAY less carbs than he used to eat so he’s on the right track. Not easy when others aren’t on board but stay focused. The carnivore community is a great support!
🔥 This guide is AMAZING! The way you broke everything down step by step is so helpful for beginners like me. I loved the tips at [10:15] about overcoming cravings-super relatable! 🥩👏 Definitely sharing this with friends! 💯
I did this cold Turkey. Its who I am... I jump in a pool all at once. When I joined the military I joined the Marines.... :) That being said.. Day 1 was tough, Day 2 was not as tough but still icky.. Bu day 4 started feeling better. Have lost a pound a day since starting
Great video. Our family will start in January after we come back from Disney World, where we will celebrate Christmas and New Year. I am a very consistent person, and I know I won't have any problems, just a little worried about losing weight. I am 5' tall, 105 lbs. Lift weights 5 days a week, I consider myself in great shape and good health. I will be doing this diet because I have hashimotos, and I really hope that this diet helps me. 🤞
Type 1 here, had to cut out the diet soda because even though it was not real sugar, my blood sugar spiked. It also really cut the cravings out. I don't have any cravings for the junk food. My mom made muffins the other day with my niece and nephew and my sugars were low so I did a taste test on 2 and that didn't affect my cravings at all, she didn't add the optional sugar on top.
Your before picture is so different!! You may consider reverse Osmosis water filtration if you drink lots of water. It removes 92% of everything from water. We supplement good minerals and the water tastes great. I used your type filter but bacteria growth was tough to control. You look amazing and keep up the super results!
Hello Jenny! Just came across this video. I jumped in carnivore head first since the middle of September 2024 currently down 21 lbs. I cut out dairy. It really was not doing me any favors before carnivore. I always loved garlic and onions. Seasons do not bother me but onions do. No onions. Would like to add veggies with low lectins. Your thoughts? If yes what veggies do you suggest? I am trying to keep my carb consumption as low as possible. I have felt great since starting. My bad with the holidays season. I ate a couple of gingerbread cookies I made and had some red wine. I learned my lesson. My system said oh no you don't . All the best to you and the carnivore community in 2025!
I started tracking because it is just my personality. I appreciate that tracking your intake - assuming what you eat is TRULY Carnivore - is antithetical to Carnivore but it is good for me because I have the interest ...
Hello! Yes, Carnivore can lower visceral fat levels, which is what fatty liver is. I have reduced mine to under half a pound eating this way, and we have taken my husband from almost 9 lbs of visceral fat to under 5 lbs. Just takes some time :)
I'd like to hear what others think, but pasture raised doesn’t necessarily mean the eggs have a healthy fat profile. Because we dont know what's in the feed. Time to put pressure on these groweres to disclose the amount of linoleic acids in the product. Thanks.
Hello! I agree, but its the best option we have at the conventional grocery store. In a perfect world, the chickens would be outside eating bugs, carcasses, worms, etc. in addition to their feed.
Hello! I mean, the solution is to eat more. Try scheduling 2-3 mealtimes and eat at every one of them. Adding fat is an easy way to up the food intake.
Thank you for this helpful videoI. I’ve started my son on the carnivore diet a few days ago to help with his eczema but I’m confused what meats to give him? Some say that meat has high histamine which could make eczema worse, your advice would be much appreciated.
Great! Yes, it is totally possible to go cold turkey with gout. In the longterm, Carnivore is excellent for those with gout as it improves the root cause issues causing gout in the first place.
I’m just starting on Carnivore mostly to try to cure my chronic acid reflux. I’ve heard that lots of fat or rendered fat can aggravate acid reflux. Has anyone had any experience with this or any suggestions on how to reduce the fat or rendered fat intake but still remain satiated? Thank you!
I used to get reflux daily …. Bottomline, i cut out all crap and started keto then carnivore …. Now i reintroduced dairy , avacado , celery , onions n garlic …. Nuts ….. i eat 2x a day and just no longer snack or get hungry …. Bottomline , whole foods and not being a pig equals success 👍🏻
Thanks for the great overview. One question: I have watched at least 20 carnivore videos where the 70/30 ratio is discussed. I do not understand this. When I look at a cut of meat or several strips of bacon, how does one assess this? Seeing actual pictures would be very helpful! Are we training our eyes to know these fat/protein ratios?
Eggs are a staple on this diet. I have no problem with that. But the problem begins with offal (organ) meats and certain textures of meat. Funny though after a fast, everything taste a little better
What is the most difficult part when first starting and trying to determine your true hunger cues? Well, when you're at work for 9 hours a day and there isn't anywhere close by to eat! LOL - be a boy scout - be prepared!!
Excellent explanation. Very helpful. But another app to get!?!??? 😞 You said Instagram for that 2 week meal plan. Oh well... I just hate adding apps to my phone. But really appreciate your views.
Hello! Butter is different in that most of the lactose is removed during the churning process, leaving behind only fat. Many people that have reactions to other dairy do not react to butter.
thank you for explaining the oxilate dumping, I think that is what happened to me when I tried carnivore earlier this year. Going to try again, great tips - excellent video *Subscribed*
Oxalate dumping is REAL. Also almonds, chard, beet greens are super high. 3 months carnivore… eliminated the biggest well over a year before starting. And I still have waves of dumping. Will probably have them for YEARS as my diet was ultra high in them for decades. Took me a 2 months to figure out which symptoms were actually dumping. Would try electrolytes 1st if no help then Id get down some VERY strong black tea & 1-2 squares of very dark chocolate. Like 90%. That amount of oxalates going in would stop it within 90 minutes.
@@JennyMitichcould you point me in the right direction please? I wish I had the time to go through your entire library but you've been very busy creating 😊 Are there any scientific papers linked to at all? Thanks so much for responding!
@ yes, there are scientific papers linked in all of those videos. Just go to the description, you don’t have to watch them. It’s the carnivore update videos so my 30, 60, 90, six month, nine month, one year, 18 months updates. There’s also tons of references and scientific papers linked in all of my blood work videos.
Hello! There are two ways to get the meal plan. Either follow me on Instagram and send me a message (MamaMitich) or send me an email, which is listed in the description of all my videos :)
Whys. In early 2024, my home was destroyed by tornado with me in it. Multiple skull and spinal fracturesn a detached ear and my left eye reduced to a bloody mess with god knows what poking into it. I went carnivore to give me max nutrient dense nutrition, for max body healing. Things have gone well. And at 71 I'm now putting on muscle mass like never before. I've dealt with severe nighttime muscle cramps in the legs and feet, and vertigo in late mornings. I sense these are diet related. The cramps have disappeared with more attention to hydration and electrolytes. The vertigo is usually mild, but i dont know what's causing it. I suspect it is bouts of either low blood pressure or low blood sugar. Please tell me if you know.
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to vertigo, you might want to test your levels and aim for the upper range by supplemening it, don't forget to take k2 and magnesium (as glycinate for example) with it.
Carnivore is the optimal human diet for people of all ages. My 9 yr old is almost completely carnivore and his growth is off the pediatrician 's charts.
Hello! Great question. Butter has almost all the lactose removed from it during the churning process, leaving only fat. It doesnt cause the same inflammatory reaction that dairy can
I can only eat about 1200 calories. I'm just starting. I don't eat dairy. Only eggs and buffalo meat. I hate the taste of meat. Doest it get better after I push through the first week or so? Right now I am forcefully eating 1200 calories. Cuz I don't like the taste.
@ I mean, if you hate the taste of meat that’s going to be a hurdle you will need to overcome. It may improve as you get hungry, but you also don’t want to starve yourself.
I disagree, respectfully, about tracking. First, unless your name is Jenny, you dont want tracking as a long term lifestyle. You can just cut out all packaged carbs except for Wasa crackers and some berry fruits. Then make sure you're eating mostly meat and eggs every day. I never track, and i have successfully weaned off most carbs. Anyone can do it. Tracking is for the birds.
I just want to add a helpful tip for beginners. Besides Keto Flu, some may experience other DETOXING symptoms too, like getting the Flu or a bad cold. You may find you pee more too as your body gets rid of excess fluid buildup, with the length of time for that varying for each person. 😊
I've created a spreadsheet to track what I eat and it has helped my to better understand what I'm putting in my mouth and also pointing out that I'm not eating enough .. Not for everybody but certainly for me. To each his own. You can disagree if you insist
rofl... Let's see maltodextrin is absolutely bad for us, yet you promote a product lmnt that has maltodextrin in it so you can make money So exactly why would I trust your or listen to you? 👎
Hello! As mentioned in this video, I recommend the raw unflavored and the sparkling waters, both of which have NO maltodextrin. Please refer to the video I made on the whole LMNT controversy: ua-cam.com/video/ezlzLICIpPU/v-deo.html

Wonderful! I am so happy that it is going well for you, that is great :)
I started doing Keto and switched to Carnivore as it makes more sense for me. I'm down 30+ lbs in 6 weeks.
Great work!
Really
Good job Jenny! Enjoyed your video. I have been carnivore now for 554 days. Down 66 pounds and off all meds at 62 yrs old! The medical benefits are amazing.

FOR ANYONE WITH COW DAIRY ISSUES:
I've been sensitive & intolerant to cow dairy products all of my 70 yrs of life.
12 years ago it turned into a severe allergy.
i had to stop eating all cow dairy including products labeled "may contain traces of milk".
Now I've found that I can eat goat milk, goat butter, goat kefir & goat cheese etc with no issues!!
Well-wishes ❤
Great advice!
The problem is affording goat milk. I love it, but the price has soared in recent years. The last time I had some was Christmas 2020. Price has always been higher for goat milk, but it has spiked in the past few years, so no delicious goat milk for me. 😢
@ true, goat milk is pricey
What store sells goat anything?? Butter really.
I love goat dairy best
Meijer stores & some health food stores have goat dairy products.
The brand I buy is Meyenberg.
I also sprinkle sea salt on the butter for a great taste.
1 4oz stick costs about $4 & lasts me a week.
A 32oz bottle of kefir costs $8 & lasts about 2 weeks.
Cheese is about 16$ lb & last 2 weeks.
I also eat OMAD with fatty minced beef, eggs yolks & occasionally some fish.

Sorry but I heard dr. Berry say to lower your fat if you have this issues at the start of this lifestyle. Look him up
@ lowering the fat a little bit can help with digestive distress👍🏻once her body builds up her bile supply, she can ramp the fat back up.
I'm getting closer to a Keto/Carnivore diet. My carbs consumption went down, and my fat intake went up since July 2024. I just need my own place, so I can cook my own meals, without anyone telling me what to do!
Wonderful! Progress not perfection, you will get there :)
Keep going! You can do it! I keep telling my husband who has liver damage that I’m eating the diet he should be on! But, he is doing WAY less carbs than he used to eat so he’s on the right track. Not easy when others aren’t on board but stay focused. The carnivore community is a great support!

I am a very consistent person, and I know I won't have any problems, just a little worried about losing weight. I am 5' tall, 105 lbs. Lift weights 5 days a week, I consider myself in great shape and good health. I will be doing this diet because I have hashimotos, and I really hope that this diet helps me. 🤞
Hello and welcome! You can definitely maintain your weight on Carnivore, just eat enough food :)
@JennyMitich Thank you! BTW, thanks for the promo code I ordered the Tastee airfryer .
Thank you for this great information. I am getting ready to do carnivore on January!!
Awesome! You can do it :)

Hello Jenny! Just came across this video. I jumped in carnivore head first since the middle of September 2024 currently down 21 lbs. I cut out dairy. It really was not doing me any favors before carnivore. I always loved garlic and onions. Seasons do not bother me but onions do. No onions. Would like to add veggies with low lectins. Your thoughts? If yes what veggies do you suggest? I am trying to keep my carb consumption as low as possible. I have felt great since starting. My bad with the holidays season. I ate a couple of gingerbread cookies I made and had some red wine. I learned my lesson. My system said oh no you don't . All the best to you and the carnivore community in 2025!
Hello! I love lettuce, cucumbers, brussels sprouts, and asparagus.
I started tracking because it is just my personality. I appreciate that tracking your intake - assuming what you eat is TRULY Carnivore - is antithetical to Carnivore but it is good for me because I have the interest ...
I love tracking :) but its not for everyone
I have been diagnosed with Non alcoholic fatty liver. Is this a diet that I can safely do?
Hello! Yes, Carnivore can lower visceral fat levels, which is what fatty liver is. I have reduced mine to under half a pound eating this way, and we have taken my husband from almost 9 lbs of visceral fat to under 5 lbs. Just takes some time :)
You make so much sense to me. Looking forward to carnivore diet!!
Im glad the video was helpful! You can do it :)
I'd like to hear what others think, but pasture raised doesn’t necessarily mean the eggs have a healthy fat profile. Because we dont know what's in the feed. Time to put pressure on these groweres to disclose the amount of linoleic acids in the product. Thanks.
Hello! I agree, but its the best option we have at the conventional grocery store. In a perfect world, the chickens would be outside eating bugs, carcasses, worms, etc. in addition to their feed.
Jenny, I have a very hard time eating enough and as a consequence I’m losing hair and sometimes I’m weak from not enough food. HELP!!
Hello! I mean, the solution is to eat more. Try scheduling 2-3 mealtimes and eat at every one of them. Adding fat is an easy way to up the food intake.
Thank you for this helpful videoI. I’ve started my son on the carnivore diet a few days ago to help with his eczema but I’m confused what meats to give him?
Some say that meat has high histamine which could make eczema worse, your advice would be much appreciated.
Hello! It could, but I would start by just trying strict Carnivore for a month and see what happens.
I started carnivore while I had gout cold turkey straight into bbbe. Day 87 it's been gone since. But the 1st 29 days was rough for me
Great! Yes, it is totally possible to go cold turkey with gout. In the longterm, Carnivore is excellent for those with gout as it improves the root cause issues causing gout in the first place.
I’m just starting on Carnivore mostly to try to cure my chronic acid reflux. I’ve heard that lots of fat or rendered fat can aggravate acid reflux. Has anyone had any experience with this or any suggestions on how to reduce the fat or rendered fat intake but still remain satiated? Thank you!
I used to get reflux daily …. Bottomline, i cut out all crap and started keto then carnivore …. Now i reintroduced dairy , avacado , celery , onions n garlic …. Nuts ….. i eat 2x a day and just no longer snack or get hungry …. Bottomline , whole foods and not being a pig equals success 👍🏻
Hello! Just take it slow with upping the fat. Allow your body time to build up the bile and stomach acids needed to process it.
Thank you for this ❤
You're welcome 😊
Excellent! Thanks 😊❤
Youre very welcome!
Thank you! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the great overview. One question: I have watched at least 20 carnivore videos where the 70/30 ratio is discussed. I do not understand this. When I look at a cut of meat or several strips of bacon, how does one assess this? Seeing actual pictures would be very helpful! Are we training our eyes to know these fat/protein ratios?
Hello! Here is a video on it: ua-cam.com/video/twYHLCL4B7Y/v-deo.html
Eggs are a staple on this diet. I have no problem with that. But the problem begins with offal (organ) meats and certain textures of meat.
Funny though after a fast, everything taste a little better
Agreed!
What is the most difficult part when first starting and trying to determine your true hunger cues? Well, when you're at work for 9 hours a day and there isn't anywhere close by to eat! LOL - be a boy scout - be prepared!!
For sure! Definitely bring some food :)
LMNT does have multi dextrin in it. Their plain unflavoured doesn’t have any in it. They’re doing all that they can to remedy it.
Hello! Yes, the raw unflavored and the sparkling waters are maltodextrin free.
My why is I want to live and not get ill and die from chronic disease like so many of my family have
Great whys!
I would like the meal plan, but I’m not on Instagram. Is there another way I could find it/get it?
Hello and sure! Just send me an email, it is listed in the description :)
Do you have a video on using an Airfryer???
Hello! I have some air fryer recipe videos where I show how to use it :)
Can oxalates and also oxalate dumping cause eczema?
Hello! Yes, it is possible
Excellent explanation. Very helpful.
But another app to get!?!??? 😞
You said Instagram for that 2 week meal plan.
Oh well...
I just hate adding apps to my phone.
But really appreciate your views.
Hello! Send me an email and I will get you the guides. Email is in the description of all my videos :)
@JennyMitich thanks I will. My name is Ingrid. My name here shows my husband's name first, then mine. LOL
@ I just got your email, I will send over the lists today😀
@JennyMitich thank you so much!!
What's the difference between butter and heavy cream (dairy). I thought they were basically the same thing?
Hello! Butter is different in that most of the lactose is removed during the churning process, leaving behind only fat. Many people that have reactions to other dairy do not react to butter.
@JennyMitich Interesting, thanks for the info.
thank you for explaining the oxilate dumping, I think that is what happened to me when I tried carnivore earlier this year. Going to try again, great tips - excellent video *Subscribed*
Youre very welcome! I had no idea about it when I started and I suffered. It was bad
Oxalate dumping is REAL. Also almonds, chard, beet greens are super high. 3 months carnivore… eliminated the biggest well over a year before starting. And I still have waves of dumping. Will probably have them for YEARS as my diet was ultra high in them for decades.
Took me a 2 months to figure out which symptoms were actually dumping. Would try electrolytes 1st if no help then Id get down some VERY strong black tea & 1-2 squares of very dark chocolate. Like 90%. That amount of oxalates going in would stop it within 90 minutes.
Jenny, what's the store that canoe cuts the Marrow? I'm in the Chicagoland area too! It's been hard to find bones for broth lately
Its called Butera. But if you find them anywhere, just ask the meat managers if they will cut them canoe style, you may find once close to you :)
how do i find grass finish meat?
I see grass feed everywhere, but grass finished only online
Hello! It just depends on the store, but yes, finding it online is a lot easier
Could you point me towards the science that shows this way of eating is healthy please?
Oh wow, yes, for sure. Check out all of my Carnivore update videos, tons of links to research and other videos there.
@@JennyMitichcould you point me in the right direction please? I wish I had the time to go through your entire library but you've been very busy creating 😊 Are there any scientific papers linked to at all? Thanks so much for responding!
@ yes, there are scientific papers linked in all of those videos. Just go to the description, you don’t have to watch them. It’s the carnivore update videos so my 30, 60, 90, six month, nine month, one year, 18 months updates. There’s also tons of references and scientific papers linked in all of my blood work videos.
Can I get the meal plan please?
Hello! There are two ways to get the meal plan. Either follow me on Instagram and send me a message (MamaMitich) or send me an email, which is listed in the description of all my videos :)
I would like the grocery list and meal plan
Hello! Message me on Insta or send me an email, which is in the description :)
Beef, butter, bacon and eggs. Eat as much as you want. That's the only plan you need.
@@JennyMitich wonderful so good to know!! 😁😁
Whys. In early 2024, my home was destroyed by tornado with me in it. Multiple skull and spinal fracturesn a detached ear and my left eye reduced to a bloody mess with god knows what poking into it. I went carnivore to give me max nutrient dense nutrition, for max body healing. Things have gone well. And at 71 I'm now putting on muscle mass like never before. I've dealt with severe nighttime muscle cramps in the legs and feet, and vertigo in late mornings. I sense these are diet related. The cramps have disappeared with more attention to hydration and electrolytes. The vertigo is usually mild, but i dont know what's causing it. I suspect it is bouts of either low blood pressure or low blood sugar. Please tell me if you know.
WOW! What a story, Im so happy you are still with us! The dizziness could be low blood sugar, I recommend getting a meter or a CGM to check
@JennyMitich if it is low blood sugar, what then?
@ eat some food, you may not be eating enough
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to vertigo, you might want to test your levels and aim for the upper range by supplemening it, don't forget to take k2 and magnesium (as glycinate for example) with it.
Do you recommend carnivore for teenagers?
Yes, I definitely do.
Carnivore is the optimal human diet for people of all ages. My 9 yr old is almost completely carnivore and his growth is off the pediatrician 's charts.
I'm new to Carnivore and already started to use electrolytes. But I make my own 😉
Smart! Much cheaper that way :)
May I have the recipe? Because I cannot afford to purchase the LMNT and stuff like that.
@ check LMNTs website, they have a recipe there 👍🏻
Hunger or Not? Very interesting 🧐
I had vsg i can eat upto 1,200 😮
Butter is dairy, why cut out other dairy and keep butter?
Hello! Great question. Butter has almost all the lactose removed from it during the churning process, leaving only fat. It doesnt cause the same inflammatory reaction that dairy can
@ that’s fantastic to know because I love butter. Thank you! x
❤❤❤
Thank you :)
❤❤
Thank you!
If you have a lot of fat on your body. Why would you eat or add fat to your diet
Hello! Common misconception. Its not the dietary fat that makes you fat, its carbohydrates. Cut the carbs and you will lose weight.
Shop at meat market.
Good tip!
70% fat 30% protein Carnivore Diet 🥩🍳🥩😋 butter 🧈
Yummmmmmm
When you say 70% fat and 30% protein is that measured in calories or grams?
Hello! Calories. Here is a video on it: ua-cam.com/video/twYHLCL4B7Y/v-deo.htmlsi=jy4cAtY2caimOv00
1600-1800 calories is way too much food. Especially when eating carnivore. Meat is highly nutritious. Carb addiction doc says we need way less.
Hello! I disagree. I eat a lot more than that. Everyone is different.
I can only eat about 1200 calories.
I'm just starting.
I don't eat dairy.
Only eggs and buffalo meat.
I hate the taste of meat.
Doest it get better after I push through the first week or so?
Right now I am forcefully eating 1200 calories.
Cuz I don't like the taste.
@ I mean, if you hate the taste of meat that’s going to be a hurdle you will need to overcome. It may improve as you get hungry, but you also don’t want to starve yourself.
❤️💗❤️🥰
😀😀😀
Why is there a man with a glass of wine in the video??
Hello! That is B roll, its just filler.
I disagree, respectfully, about tracking. First, unless your name is Jenny, you dont want tracking as a long term lifestyle. You can just cut out all packaged carbs except for Wasa crackers and some berry fruits. Then make sure you're eating mostly meat and eggs every day. I never track, and i have successfully weaned off most carbs. Anyone can do it. Tracking is for the birds.
Hello! Not everyone is as disciplined as you unfortunately. Some people need to track and/or enjoy it :)
Yeah I track nothing and eat 1-2 Keto desserts a month. That is the whole point of Carnivore.
I just want to add a helpful tip for beginners.
Besides Keto Flu, some may experience other DETOXING symptoms too, like getting the Flu or a bad cold. You may find you pee more too as your body gets rid of excess fluid buildup, with the length of time for that varying for each person. 😊
I've created a spreadsheet to track what I eat and it has helped my to better understand what I'm putting in my mouth and also pointing out that I'm not eating enough .. Not for everybody but certainly for me. To each his own. You can disagree if you insist
My name is not Jenny, but I love to track. I love looking at the data!
rofl... Let's see maltodextrin is absolutely bad for us, yet you promote a product lmnt that has maltodextrin in it so you can make money So exactly why would I trust your or listen to you? 👎
Hello! As mentioned in this video, I recommend the raw unflavored and the sparkling waters, both of which have NO maltodextrin. Please refer to the video I made on the whole LMNT controversy: ua-cam.com/video/ezlzLICIpPU/v-deo.html
I would like the grocery list and meal plan
