10 things that no one talks about on the carnivore diet
#carnivorediet #sideeffects
Hey Carnivores! Have you experienced any of the side effects I shared?

Yes! I experienced carbmares frequently in the first month of carnivore. This video is so helpful, Bella!
I am having the opposite effect. I can't shit at all. I am bleeding when I try to shit. It's really hard and dry

When I go to the store to buy meat I have to pass by the bakery, the cheesecakes, the cookies, the bread, the chips, the pies, and the deli meats. All the way back to the meat section, I’m praying….”though I walk through the valley of carbs, I fear no evil…..just keep walking….”
😂
So true! Great analogy
😂
brilliant! XD
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your Takeaways:
1. Loose stools
2. Later constipation
3. Carb nightmares (never heard of this. Strange)
4. Healing crisis. Things get worse before they get better. Yup!
5. Weight gain but body slimming.
6. Meat sweats. Vegans are always cold!
7. Smoke and grease everywhere. True.
8. Sinuses are clearer. Sense of smell is stronger. (Bad breath is a sign of inflammation(!))
9. Sense of taste is better.
This crib sheet is just to summarize. Watch the whole video because she offers a lot of his information.
I could have used your notes in college!
That's nine, where's the tenth?
@@creatrixinc
She bundled two together cuz they were complimentary but then didn't number them separately.
Yes, I had carb nightmares during my first year too. Fortunately I dream of huge beef buffets nowadays.
i wouldn't call them nightmares, but I have had dreams where I am eating something like cake, bread, pizza, etc. and then as soon as I am done I immediately remember "oh wait! I'm not supposed to eat carbs! I just ruined my diet!"
But those dreams only really happened in the first few weeks of the diet. After a month or maybe two, those dreams stop. I wasn't even really having carb cravings so I always chalked it up to dreams about a new thing in my life, similar to how I would dream about going to work when I start a new job.
Before I went carnivore, my stools were very loose and massive. Two to three times a day. After a few months of being conscious of what I eat, my bowl movements are less frequent, solid and quicker and cleaner. I weighted 229 lbs and now I’m at 180 lbs. it took about 5 months to lose the weight. It’s been a little over a year now. You can do it!
Thank you for sharing your story a bit. Our stats are similar. I’ve just been on this lifestyle for a few days, LOL. So a LONG ways to go!!
Same here smaller less frequent and solid I've been on it six months went from 250 down to 200 30 more to go to hit my target . Animal protein is more thoroughly digested and broken down in the human digestive track that's why your bowel movements become smaller . In the early days Space Flight nasa would give astronauts a steak and egg breakfast because on those early missions there was no provision to go to the bathroom.
Congratulations on your successes and thank you for the encouragement!
😆 🤣
Hint: Stop eating donuts and potato chips on a vegan diet.

Just to add that I was vegetarian for 14 years, vegan for 4 years and raw vegan for 2 years. The damage on my body got to the point to be diabetic now. Try the carnivore diet was something outrageous thing to do. The results didn’t wait. My body is healing. I feel better and different at the same time.
I was vegetarian, then vegan, then because I was too thin, a 'normal balanced' diet. My IBS was out of control so now Keto with hardly any to no carbs. It's early days, but I was feeling better, then back to bloated and runny stools..not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I'm having the opposite effects.
I lost the most weight, kept it off and felt the best i ever felt when i was vegan for 2 years. But i was constantly eating- cuz it takes a lot to get those calories unless your supplementing vegan protein powders.
Now, about 2 weeks in the carnivore i feel slow, weighed down, getting ocular migraines for the first time in my life and yes, the pooping is as she said it was in the beginning.
Not sure if i am having too much sodium or what....??
@@Stranger_Strange_Land Are you eating dairy or processed meats? Beware of MSG.
Watching one of my girlfriends deteriorate from her vegan diet. Tried to help her the other day. She said I gave her a lot to think about. I pray she listens to her body and adds meat back in. She is not doing so well. She also said she wanted to try raw vegan tho and she said that this is what vegans say to do to heal her diabetes and her other issues. I pray she goes the meat way.
@@Stranger_Strange_Land It can take over a year for the body to adjust. Go slow. Give your body time to adapt. You are literally changing the entire way your body works. Some people can change easily and others it takes time. I am 4 years into hyper carnivore and still have oxalate issues. It is much better than it was and many of my symptoms are gone. I still have some black tea every day to prevent me from dumping too much; but it is not instant perfect health. I hope you find your best path!!! Good luck!
I went on Carnivore three years ago. I had loose stools so bad I ended up being completely dehydrated. Ended up in the hospital because they thought my kidneys were failing from some blood work. In the hospital they pumped me up with 7 bags of medicated saline. The whole reason I went on carnivore was for my Stage 5 hypertension. After they had rehydrated me my BP was 100% normal. So the carnivore diet worked, but I wasn't eating enough salt and not drinking enough water. I am back on it again, post heart attack, and all my numbers are moving in the right direction. I have lost 70lbs! All fat. I eat ONE meal each say, usually a beautiful ribeye. Life is good on Carnivore. :)
I find myself eating salt.
Yes, don't trust the lying killer doctors with their drugs and knives.
Eat healthy Himalayan pink salt, or seasalt or similar, plenty of it, also increase your potassium to 4700mg per day, it is easily available on carnivore.
Change chicken eggs to duck eggs, much better and Pasteur raised
Hi Ron, can you explain what is stage 5 hypertension?!? My exam came as my colesterol is high and least night my heart was pounding so hard that could hear it. I am on medication for high blood pressure but I don’t want to give up my carnivore life style never. I don’t trust my doctor either. I lost 3.5 last week strictly on Carnivore. I’ve never lost like that ever, with no hunger, and fatigue. So, can you help me?
@@shayannesmith3953 it means his kidneys and other vital organs were damaged for the high pressure in those tiny capillaries.
You can pretend you're a TRex while you eat.
On point 1, my case was 180° the other way, I experienced 6 years of daily diarrhea, but after just 1 day of MEAT ONLY, it was one!!! On the "meat sweat" point, Doctor Gary Breka goes in depth on why if we do not sweat, means that we have a real metabolic issue, so if you experience heavy sweats after starting carnivore, is because your metabolism is returning to normal, even if you didn't know something was wrong. Thanks for the tips and your a very talented pianist! Keep on the good work!
Thanks for this. I am in for 6 weeks now and my bowel movements are wonderful. Before carnivore I was going sometimes 6 times a day with no warnings and lots of accidents. Now I go to the bathroom every second day or so and it’s such a pleasure. Every stool has a beginning middle and an end. No more accidents. I came into this quite healthy and now am just glowing. I can see this is a LONG term/lifetime way of life. Bought my first ever air fryer and am wrapt.
Wrapt?
@lini...
Am certain I'm not the only person whom appreciates your honesty.
Your a champ!!
❤
Having loose stools is a godsend to me. I've suffered from constipation my entire life and now that I'm carnivore I'm so regular it's AWESOME!
Woohoooo!
That is my same experience! Over 100 days in and the early diarrhea was wonderful after a lifetime of constipation! Sad to only have a (healthy :-) poo every day or two now that I’m regularly in ketosis and have super healthy bowels!
Sadly, this has not happened yet for me. I am 7 weeks in and still not pooping. 😔😔😔😔😔
@@mushroombird9400 As part of making sure I got my electrolytes, I started taking Natural Vitality CALM Magnesium Citrate Supplement. The powder is a combination of Magnesium Carbonate and Citric Acid. Pour hot water on the powder and those 2 ingredients chemically combine to produce Magnesium Citrate. At first, there is a lot of white froth. But as the chemical reaction settles down, the liquid becomes clear as water. Then I add some instant coffee. For many folks, Magnesium CITRATE causes diarrhea. I took it for 3 days straight before it worked. There is no gas or pain that prune juice would cause. After it works, do NOT take it the next day or two, or your will have to stay close to a toilet.
@@mushroombird9400 Try BOTH more salt and protein. This should help a lot. It did in my case. I was going once a week with extreme constipation now daily normal BM.
Wow, thank you , I was so bummed out when I went to the Drs. for yearly ck up, and I was expecting a BIG DROP in weight as my clothes are noticeably loose ! Was Keto for 1 or 2 month & Carnivore now for 4 months . Feeling good & my psoriasis is 95 % GONE !! I am 74 years young & Very alert. Mowing my own grass - 1 1/3 Acre !! Redoing an old farmhouse - 1906- will be done by spring ....LOVE your videos 👏 👏 👏
This is an inspiring report. Thanks!
Good lady...you make me think of my 89yr old sister..similar mindset. She lives alone and does everything for herself. I tell her " Marie you are 90 in 2mths. Slow down ". She just laughs at me.
It’s good for psoriasis? I’ve got sever psoriasis all over my hands and feet, when it’s really bad I can barely walk because my skin is so cracked, and I have to bleach my feet constantly to stop infection. So just meat works for this? I’ve tried everything, sunlight is the only thing that has even somewhat helped but winter is a nightmare.
Well done
Just following up I’m on day seven and my skin is at least eighty per cent better! Game changer. Unbelievable. My boy has bowel problems too, thinking of making his diet primarily meat with only a bit of greens too! Cannot believe the answer to years of suffering was this simple.
I just want to THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for this program!!!
I am a 76 year old grandfather and been overweight all my life except in the 1970's when I went on the brand new Dr Atkins diet. It really worked!! I kept a chart of my bodyweight for exactly 100 days. I lost 18kg!! When I stopped dieting my old bad habits were still there, so I slowly gained all my weight back again.
I am an all or nothing person so I have decided I must stay on Carnivore for the rest of my life.
I am in excellent health, enjoy long walks and have lifelong never needed any medications. Praise the LORD!

Okay after watching this I'm very glad that took me so long to get here. First vegetarian then I was vegan. I kept gaining weight. At my highest weight I was 240 on severe calorie restriction up with severe food allergies and had to start adding animal products back in because I was out of options. Came to Keto gradually lost 60 lb and now a ketovore headed for carnivore. It's like my body eased its way into doing this without my consent. Cholesterol triglycerides blood sugar and body fat all extremely lower. I had great results when I cut out carbs my doctor even asked what the heck I was doing because I haven't had normal cholesterol even at 17 years old as a dancer. As a side bonus my joint pains are going away and so is my Eczema.
I began my 4-year vegan journey to improve my eczema and rosacea, I wound up making it so much worse and stayed vegan because I thought I was doing the right thing on every level. When I started keto I naturally slipped into ketovore, and now carnivore. No more skin issues amd I feel amazing in ways I didn't know I felt poorly beforehand.
Congratulations you must be so pleased with happy skin results.
I have had dermatitis, and for some reason it’s only on my feet. I guess it’s a good thing considering. I am trying carnivore. I am have been for a while now. At one point it has gotten so much better and now it fluctuates a lot. Any suggestions? I don’t drink coffee, I do drink tea black sometimes with a bit of heavy cream. I intermittently fast 14-16-18 pretty much daily. I will take any suggestions 😄
I think you doing well but I thing I hope I am not wrong it's not very important to think a lot about fasting live you live like usual and eat 2 or 3 meal per day as a carnivore diet @@skatinka5788
@@maynicolas3222 thank you. I think fasting just comes naturally, as I don’t eat breakfast because I am not really hungry. I just wish the skin would get better it’s annoying. 😂
@@skatinka5788 you sure its not a liver issue? fatty liver and dry feet or cracks on heels. Look at Dr. Bergs videos on it. Sometimes it's also linked to sibo if your not absorbing vitamins and nutrients. Either way keto or carnivore will help your liver.
I gotta laugh because I’m 80 and trying to establish myself a carnivore lifestyle and I was worrying A LOT!! Last year, I tried and was defeated by oxalate dumping. I was itching like crazy for weeks! Had never heard of oxalates much less dumping. 🤷🏽♀️ so I stopped eating spinach and almonds and sweet potatoes but tried to follow Sally Norton’s protocols. Kinda gave up temporarily. More doctors. More hospital and etc. a few weeks ago began carnivore again, this time not all at once. I’ve kicked more and more foods and drinks out of my diet. And I was worrying. Along comes your video with 10 negative…. I’m always looking for solutions🤷🏽♀️ so I watched. And then I got the giggles. Poop issues✔️. Scale issues✔️Smell issues✔️ Heat issues✔️. I think I hit them all✔️✔️✔️ (now I’m freezing). Anyway, very reassuring!! I love the simplicity. My blood glucose is going down. Most of all I LOVE the taste of just salted steak or hamburger and eggs. And my grocery list has gotten shorter and shorter!! Anyway, thank you!!😂😂😂

Thank you for addressing the sweating! That's one issue I've noticed. All the other things I've not experienced very much. Only good stuff happening to me. My hair stopped falling out and thinning. My skin issues Gone! Stomach no bloating, shredding fat and getting ripped in the gym. No more protein shakes or creatine needed.
Stumbled upon your channel & found it very helpful to my own experiences of being on the carnivore diet now into my 67th Day !!
My weight has fluctuated within 1 kg up or half a kg down.
At day 67 today I can feel clothes starting to hang on me.
I can put shoes socks on bending without trouble.
Muscle definition on thighs is amazing ! These are now firm solid muscles.
Blood pressure is up at present, but last month Systolic & Diastolic were 40 points Down.
Hair is thicker.
Veins are thicker!
Feel stronger.
Teeth are cleaner!
So your info here helped me to accept that Im not doing this “ all wrong “, that others dont see weight loss on the scales hugely.
Many men seem to loose a lot of weight!
Im 63 and female.
I appreciate the info today and will keep it in mind.
And be encouraged to continue going.
You may need to restrict calories a bit to see weight loss. Initially, your body is healing and adjusting, so you don't want to worry about calorie restriction, but once you're adapted, you may need to restrict them a bit or increase your excercise to get weight loss.
I've had so much joint pain, for well over 2 years. I've already started the carnivore diet, and I'm going straight through, oxalate pain or not. 3 days in, and I'm already feeling more energy, and less brain fog. I'm not willing to take even a tiny step back. I appreciate this video so much. Thank you!
Im just 4 days in and already got stunning results no more: Jointpain, extreme stuffy nose, brainfog gone, havent had any heartburn , no more cold feet and cold hands. + Suddenly i feel i have energy again. Yesterday i ate a greek yougurt... and i got a slighly stuffy nose. So i cant tolerate that.
Just reaching out on what worked for me; I suffered with sciatica for two years. White tea at least once a day made the difference like night and day. BTW, I stopped eating animal products in 2016. I also gave up most grains. I have almond milk yogurt at least once a day. Sciatica gone. My stomach is not a graveyard for animals. I am a retired professional nurse. My husband is a clinical pharmacist. He said an oncologist he works with told him he never had a vegan patient. I am almost 65 on zero meds, 110 lbs at 5'4.

I was vegetarian for most of my life (I am 64 now), then I was vegan for a couple of years. I was gaining weight slowly and my trigs were 745. I went Keto in March of 2021 and switched to Carnivore in January. My trigs have gone down to 245 and my a1c went from 5.9 to 5.2. In August I will get my labs done again. I am hoping that my numbers will be even better.
Wow, with trigs like that, look at Dr David Diamond
What are trigs?
Trigs= triglycerides
What you said makes no sense . Since Whole Foods plant based foods contain no cholesterol or saturated fats and would lower your trigs. Go put on a tin foil hat and stare at a wall

Thank you for your clear and straight to the point teaching..
Thank you Bella..
Amazing
I appreciate all the comments I'm learning from others
I’m a teacher and I am SO grateful that I have a bathroom in my classroom this year, because it’s been rough.
I once threw up at a toilet in the shopping mall because somebody had just taken a dump. Ew. Please don't do it at public/office/school/classroom toilets, yo. If you are unwell in that department, stay home till the issue has been resolved, please!
@@user-kc7mu4jp4p there's ways to get rid of the smell while she can still be at work. No reason to make her feel bad. ❤
I was about to scream at my phone that it's not necessarily constipation but instead, that your gut is able to absorb almost 100% of meat, thus having less waste, hence less bowel movements. Then I hit the 9 min mark and you addressed this. 😄
Then there’s urge so something IS there but blocked
That IS constipation
In a similar vein, a friend who had stopped smoking years ago dreamed he was smoking again and woke up feeling incredibly guilty.
MY STORY. Start with, I'm 57 years old on and off of Keto for the past 5 years, mainly to get healthier. Finally got tired of falling off the wagon, I'd lose weight then cheat yada yada i failed miserably. On July of this year I switched to OMAD(one meal a day) Took a lot of will power, this is something every motivational video seems to lack. You have to do it for the right reasons but depends solely on yourself making the dissension to do this for YOURSELF! Back on track here, three days ago I switched to carnivore, first thing I've noticed is I eat 2000-2200 calories/ with an intake of proteins of 144g and fat of 175g, I started out weighing 258lbs and stand 6;1" no working out just a fat belly, so intakes will be different for everyone starting us a macro app to find your numbers. I can eat one meal a day without urges or hunger, its truly amazing. I drink coffee eat eggs and meat, nothing more. Carbs/sugars/sodas/sugar substitutes/fruits/veggies/EVERYTHING is gone out of my life. Looking for my life as a carnivore and all the health benefits from OMAD/Carnivore together. Peace out
What beverages do you drink other than coffee.
Girrrl!!! Thank you for making me feel like I'm not crazy with all these side effects, from the smelling, the sounds and almost everything else that you spoke about in the video. I am very sensitive to sounds and also allergic to perfumes....it's gotten better now that I've been on this lifestyle for a couple of months. I'm still adapting to it and I do fall for my corn tortillas once in a while but I feel like I'm getting there. Again, THANK YOU and I'm looking forward for more videos!!! (kiss, kiss)
Hello everyone, I've been on this carnivore diet for a week. So far my pain has gone, my sleep is better, my skin is glowing, and I've lost 10 lbs. I look so forward to getting blood work done to see where I'm at. I haven't had a physical for @ 5 years and the last time I was told that I was at the very highest number of pre-diabetic. I am so excited because I know this way of eating and lifestyle is going to save my life and prevent a lot of suffering. Love to you all. Ann age 59.
Hello, how did your blood work turn out?
My side effect: waking up happy every day! Thanks to the carnivore diet and SBGang! 🥩❤️
I love you!!!!!
I just started carnivore cold turkey yesterday in hopes of helping my Long Covid, wish me luck! Now I'm part of two SBGangs.
Thanks for the tips especially on the scales!! You are absolutely amazing with being so honest but so good for people who are starting out.
I had my first carb-mare last week, my third week on the carnivore diet. Strangely, I dreamed that I was eating a huge salad full of veggies. I woke up feeling panicked because I thought I messed up the progress I’d made so far! It was such a relief to realize it was dream, but it took several hours for the panicked feelings to completely go away.
😂I have those dreams too
I had that exact same dream. 3 weeks in
A salad and veggies won't mess up your progress. It will set you back a day or something and might cause a rash for a week. :)
I’ve been carnivore for 4 months, feel awesome, was sugar addict, went away like magic, i can see sugar treats and don’t feel anything, lost a lot of inches but not much weight, which i don’t really care, allergies i used to have are not present anymore, poop is odourless and not everyday, so awesome, no joint pain anymore it really is like magic, many people think i’m crazy but never felt so good, i’m 58 hope i did this when i was younger.
Imagine I was not sugar addicted, but sweetener.(Erythritol). Pooping is odourless and not every day, knee pains are gone, no more inflamation, hair and nails are growing strong, healthy and not splitting 😍
I more economic in carnivore, because I'm using less toilet papers, I only buy and consume beef, bacon, butter and eggs(I used to take some fatty cheese (like Gruyere) Greak plain yoghurt but, I stopped because they were giving more more acid in stomach and very show digestion

@@joyfullbunny me too man. My family and everyone just berates me for it.but my ibs was so bad till I started 80% protien diet

Thank you so much for this video, it was so awesome and helpful. I just started carnivore coming from ketovore and was experiencing all those harsh negative symptoms. I was beginning to think maybe it wasn’t for me. I wish more people would talk about these things thank you again and you definitely gained a subscriber. ❤
You are so right about the scale. I'm meat heavy keto for 5 years and lost 100 lbs. At 43, I weigh now what I did at 20, but I wear a size 8 instead of a 14.

Should I worry about too much protein??
@@debbiehickman5439 - you'd be hard pressed to eat enough food to get too much protein.
@@debbiehickman5439 u should, protien is as aging as carbs
@@debbiehickman5439 As long as you are eating your protein mainly in the form of meat and eggs, you shouldn't be able to overeat because they are extremely satiating. You are just supposed to eat what makes you comfortably full. When people run into some problem is when they use a bunch of protein shakes artificially sweetened. That's harder for your body to tell how much protein you are having and telling you that it's enough. Many women actually have the opposite problem and eat too little protein. It's better for women not to do one meal a day but instead to 2 or 3 so they can absorb more protein
You are the proof that carnivore is the proper way of eating, every new video you look younger and healthier! thanks for what you do :)
Aw thank you so much
Can someone explain how carnivore is the proper way of eating for humans, that are not carnivores? If someone dropped you in 'the wild' what would you be able to find to eat? You certainly couldn't hunt down an animal with your bare clawless hands and our herbivore teeth rip it to prices and devour it raw. That is a carnivore.
@@josephinestecak4945 We have sweat glands, they don't. We hunted in packs, all it took was running after an animal, until it collapsed from exhaustion. All it took was an opportunity to bludgeon it to death, for it to feed the group
@@josephinestecak4945 Obviously you didn’t pass biology 101. Herbivores do not have canines and very long intestinal systems to process the carbs. Humans do have canines which means we are designed to eat meat. In addition our intestinal system length is more like a pure carnivore which have very short intestinal systems. Humans are really considered omnivores where we are able to eat both foods but we are definitely lean more to the carnivore side of the spectrum. Also you might learn how to hunt, man kind has trapped and run down animals since the beginning of our species. Just imagine how our ice age ancestors took down mammoths with only spears and their brains. Consider yourself schooled.
Yes, diarrhea happens, but it does go away. Butter girl, you are absolutely correct about everything. Thank you for everything you do 🥰
I’ve just recently started eating carnivore and ate relatively clean prior but this has changed my life. I’m so excited and interested in learning and happy to have found your channel. Luckily I’ve experienced very small changes with my body in the negative sense of cleansing as the positive outweigh immensely! Suffering from chronic inflammation for over 2 decades to two days in and no inflammation. It’s really amazing. I’ll be forever grateful at this new way of living and essentially healing. Life is grand ♥️
I’m in week two of total carnivore. Did nothing to transition from being a fast food, high carb eater. Having explosive diarrhea nearly every day since starting carnivore. I’m retired and often home so can deal with this. I don’t want anything to sway me off of this path. I was a runner and have destroyed my knees, hips, and lower back over the years. One knee was so bad that I had pain with every movement, especially in bed at night. I have already noticed that this seems to have cleared up. I can’t believe it! The other thing I’m looking forward to besides weight loss and joint improvement is clearing up skin issues. I think many aging adults will admit to being bothered by brown age spots, skin tags, and moles. I’m going to wait patiently for these to disappear. I think they will. I see nothing but overall life improvements from this lifestyle change. Even though mobility had become an issue in the last few years, I’m going to reward myself with a tour of Europe next year, Covid permitting, and with the new healthy person I will be by then! So excited to have run across this new way of eating!! Thanks to all the you tubers with amazing informative content!!!
I had slightly diarrhea too, though this is not carnivore but what helps me is eating 1 Tablespoon of roughly ground Flaxseed in the evening and in the mornig. Just flush it down with some water. Flaxseed can bin exsess water and toxins in the gut.
The worst thing for your knees is sitting in a chair, that will destroy your knees and hips weak abs will ruin your lower back. Your flexibility will be lost sitting in a chair it is the worst thing you can do, then a bad diet will keep your body from healing properly.
Hope you made it over here
35 years of persistent cystic acne on my neck back and chest. Gone in 8 weeks on zero carb and carnivore. I kinda feel lied to given all of the bad advice I have been given over the years.
Totally feel betrayed by the medical complex and the unproven theories they promoted as truth, like fat makes you fat, or eating fat ends up in your arteries, or statins work, or T2D is irreversible.
Is this still true? My boyfriend has severe scarring cystic acne. He currently has multiple acne boils as big a round as a nickel.
He also has small pimples and blackheads all over his body.
I told him that the carnivore diet supposedly helps cystic acne, and he says, "Yeah yeah yeah... Ive heard all sorts of crazy diets and creams and yata yata yata. I used to follow any and all advise I could fine. But I'm done. I'm not doing it anymore."
How severe was your acne? Is it still gone a month after this post?
@@speedyllama8380 firstly, I feel for your boyfriend. He and I have walked the same path and it is not pleasant. Yes I still have significant improvement. I still get the odd bump or infection but it is much less than before. Obviously, there are many factors like bacteria control, hormones etc.. but low carb/zero carb carnivore makes a big difference. Try it what is there to lose?
@@AR-fh2uh I'll tell him. I'm on day 6 of carnivore... Maybe I'll talk him into it one day.
Thanks for the reply, it makes me feel better to hear it from someone who's been there.
@@speedyllama8380 just get through the next 2-3weeks. It can be a little rough but coming out the other side you feel better than ever before. Full adaptation can take a month or so. I can now do omad or fasting or 3 meals a day whenever I like and can introduce a little bit green veg or avocado every so often with minimal impact on me.
Your skin looks amazing. 😳
First time coming across your channel. I did carnivore back in 2007. I started out Atkins and everyday fell into a carnivore diet. I can back everything you said. I'm about to start again. The hardest part is getting through the withdrawals and cravings.
No *head congestion* and better *sense of smell.* Absolutely! I eat keto though I'm trending toward carnivore. But last year I switched to _only_ salad dressings with avocado oil, thus *avoiding **_all_** vegetable seed oils.* I've always had major head congestion all winter, but this winter I noticed the huge improvement.
OMG!!! Thank you sooo much for posting this video.
I’m new to carnivore and most of these symptoms that you’re describing is currently my reality!😂
I’m so happy now knowing that most of what I’m experiencing is temporary and that it’s not uncommon.
So thank you again for posting this video!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💖💕
You nailed it! I have had all of those symptoms. A little over a month in it is so reassuring that things will normalize.
I love you playing the piano..Beautiful.Glad you give us a sample💥
OMG! I thought I was the only one who experienced “carbmares.” I started on Carnivore a few months ago and this year was my first birthday EVER where I didn’t have a cake! And consciously, I was totally fine! Most of my family went carnivore around the same time, so we had bunch of different meats for my B-day and it was great! But days, maybe even weeks later, I found myself dreaming about being surrounded by cakes; ALL KINDS OF CAKES! And in the dream, I just started DEVOURING them, then I looked at myself in the mirror and all my progress was GONE! When I woke up I was low key panicked! But thankfully, that was the only “carbmare” I’ve gotten.😂
LOLOL!!!!
Holy fuck 😂
Yes, I have experienced this on Keto too and it’s usually cake, cookies or pie.
LOL!!! I did too! Lol! It was scary, lol. Now I know!
When I went to keto journey half a year ago I have soon started to dream bread with honey. One day it just stopped, so I guess at that time I was former carbs junky.
Note that I never thought that I am carbs addict. Now I am mostly carni, rarely keto.
Now that I'm 4 years in, I can say that I experienced 8 of those 'problems' and sailed on through sticking to what works for me. T2D and associated issues were gone within the first 6 months, started the journey at 300lbs as well, now a lean 175lbs, with zero meds, it works! Found your channel recently and I like your perspective and knowledge. With a name like Steak and Butter Gal, how could I not sub your channel. I use Dawn dish soap and I always clean as I cook. ;)
Wow, thank you for sharing your story. Congratulations.
Fairy dish soap is the best
Nice to see another musician. Your skin is so radiant as well. Just started the diet and just trying to gather as much material i need to stay on the right path
Watched your video with Kelly Hogan a couple of days ago and the sleep improved and the anxiety decreased. I'm grateful for the inspiration. Thank you.
Pro culinary tip, when cooking ground beef you can add baking soda to the ground beef before you cook and it will help the beef not expell all the fat and remain juicy. Take ground beef out of fridge and add roughly 1tsp of baking soda per pound of meat and lightly mix, wait 15-20 minutes while ground beef absorbs baking soda and comes room temp. Heat cast iron pan at this time, cook & enjoy!
Nice tip!! I’m gonna try it. Thank you!
@@jbarkley4198 Me too!
@@HappyBeeTV-BeeHappy Thank you for adding this comment, because I totally forgot about this!! Lol. Now I’m gonna try it for sure
Oh you are so kind! Thank you ❤
@@jbarkley4198 Hey! I just want to let you know that I actually tried it! I made a huge meatloaf today, with 6lbs of ground meat, and put in 1tsp of baking soda per pound of meat and it works like a charm! Most moist and tender meat loaf I ever had! And with much less fat in the pan!
Your info is valuable. Please don’t feel you have to apologize for taking about anything related! I started cold turkey three days ago. I’m reading and watching a lot. You’re great!
So glad I found this video. My son is having poop issues and he needs to watch this video. I was having severe pain, I mean pain so bad I could barely walk across the room. I watched a video where you mentioned oxalate dumping and did more research and I was doing extreme keto/carnivore and eating almonds and walnuts as a snack every day. I stopped those about 4 days ago and my pain is going down some. But, now I am sweating profusely. So, than you for the videos. I am learning so much!
Thank you so much for this video.
It's a big help I've experienced most of these, it's true no one speaks about it.
Thanks again ✌🏾
I went crazy over the past few years. I snapped out of it recently and said to myself: self, its time to settle yourself. Carnivore has been great for me, it actually straightened out my gut. I'm working hard at this. But its helped my skin to smooth and glow. My lung problems are much less, my skin is beautiful and at 66...that's saying something :)
Hey gang! I'm here to say as a post menopause gal but the best part for me is WOW! NO HIP PAIN (after ahem... you know.... ) Oh my gosh! the leaner self loves the sight of hip bones and they dont hurt!!! I was getting arthritic and lets just say.. shimmy shimmy co co puff!
No bad breath, no constipation, no loose stools, i had no negative side effects...
I tell people I am 67 going on 17. I feel so energetic and weigh my high school weight. The loss of fatty liver and joint inflammation was within a couple months and the pounds just melted off.
@@barblacy619 isn't the loss of fatty liver, the most amazing part, one of many..... congratulations again!!!
This video was packed with great information. Thank you!!
I am a pre-bigger 😂. Just checking info before I begin. I am so grateful that you are exposing some challenges and their solutions. Thanks!
Hey Bella, I have watched few of your videos. I am so happy to see your videos are real and honest. You are welling to tell about both positive and negative effects. It's soooooo refreshing and helpful. Thank you for being true!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I started carnivore on New Years Day 2023 and 6 weeks in, I've dropped 36lbs and my joints are much happier. BMs are unpredictable, sometimes twice a day, sometimes I skip 3 or 4 days. Overall, I'm enjoying the journey... feeling much better!
Quit cheese, I bet your arthritisis will be gone in a week or two
Very helpful video!! Thanks for making it! ❤
Love your presentations and especially happy to hear your outstanding piano playing.
You are such a good teacher Bella! Thank you for breaking everything down for us💜
I began Carnivore diet roughly 3 years ago, Carnivore and fasting helped me loose alot of weight but helped with joint and all sorts of pain.When i first started i did not experience these symptomes, what i liked was being regular, once every 2 days and super clean not messy at all. For me I had Sweet nightmares, carbs not so much.
I was 330lbs and managed to get to 260lbs, life was great ! I am very big boned and 6'2" 260 i was getting lean. yeah i know... Then started thinking im out of the woods, started Keto and here and there with sweet treats (i am obsesed with icecream) This week weight myself and back up to 300lbs. I swore i would never end up at 300lbs ever in my life. So started Carnivore again yesterday. I really hope i can manage being asymptomatic again and not looking forward to any of these 10 takeaways!
For those thinking of slacking off Carnivore...why would you, this way of eating is miraculous.
Your keto problem is eating carbs again, to addictive, you can quit cigarettes with one more cigarette, same is true for sugar.
Stop cheese and I bet your arthritis will disappear in a week or two, try it
Thank you so very much for being blunt and talking about everything without fail. We truly appreciate it. Thank you.
I’m happy you talk about loose stool because many are wondering if it’s normal and how to deal with it. Thank you.
I'm back to carnivore. Feeling better already, just 3 weeks in. Has anyone noticed emotions bubbling up? Just realizing how carbs really numbed my emotions! Thank you for your videos, very encouraging! ❤
go for a nice sunny walk if you can.
Rendered fat goes so clear. It's excellent for cooking eggs etc. I keep the fat it's valuable fuel.
Definitely! Carbs really do numb your emotions, hormones and your brain. Not only is your body getting rid of toxins and inflammations in your body but also in your mind.
Yes about the emotions. I cry easily now just watching the news at night. Wtf?
@@staceyclark8796 fck !
I'm the same!!!
Yes. The first 5 weeks was rough in the upset stomach area. But after that it cleared up nicely and have been good ever since now for 6 months. Thanks for mentioning this for others.
Wow! this explains so much! I started cold turkey 3 weeks ago. Currently feeling awful, but I am determined to power thru this to the promised land :)
”though I walk through the valley of carbs, I fear no evil…..just keep walking….”
Hope you’re feeling better now, if not look into supporting your digestion and gallbladder with bile salts and betaine HCL
How many carnivore centenarians are there?
How’s it going?
Hey there, if you find yourself failing, try fasting for a few days before. It made my transition much easier!! I tried it without doing that once and failed right away!
Love your comments. I have been on a strict carnivore diet for one month now and have lost approximately 8 pounds. My clothes are definitely much looser fitting.
I too, feel my senses are sharper, especially my hearing! Odd! I hadn’t consider3d the bone density issue, but know I have increased energy, stamina without any daily fatigue.
I can’t wait to see what 5he next few months will bring. Thank you for your channel!
Why would you go on the by far most destructive (environment, animals) and one of the most unhealthy diets (early death through heart attack or stroke) just to loose weight and improve overall wellbeing in the short term??
This is a fantastic video for me as a new carnivore. So far, I only experienced a mild headache for 1 day & was extra tired for 2 days when starting. I have noticed I’m not as cold as I used to be, which is great. Going on 3 weeks & wasn’t too hard for me because I was pretty much grain free & ate organic grass-fed meat, chicken & seafood. Didn’t do much sugar before and I intermittent fasted for 4 years prior. I’m trusting that my sleep will improve & bones will get stronger. I love being a part of the May challenge on Bella’s steak & butter gang. She & her coaches really put their heart & soul into this program! It has blown my mind how great it is. Thanks Bella.
Aw thank you so much, Kathleen! 😍 I am so happy you find my video and community to be helpful!
Chicken & seafood is meat bruh
Being intolerant to low temperatures all my life, I just love the feeling of internal heat or what you called " meat sweat". I can walk out in early morning of winter with just short and tshirt. I feel much stronger and healthier.
God Bless! i truly hope this is true.
I literally seize up and can't function in anything below 40(*F)...
@@Stranger_Strange_Land I believe this is largely due to the thermic effect of high protein intake, which automatically equates meat, but other protein sources too. I literally have to kick off my blanket at night ( middle of winter here) due to feeling so warm.
I was vegan for a year. Much warmer now I know what you mean
@@Bugcatcher_Jake glad you made the change for the better!
I got rly warm one night
Not since
My adrenals are dead n my thyroids dead for decades
Great info! I am really enjoying your channel.
You have the best info on this topic. I’m going to start this diet right away and will take your advice about easing into it gradually. Thank you so much🙏
Great! F*ck the environment, turn 100 years of scientific research on its head, but don't blame anyone but yourself if you have a heart attack with 50.
I’m very curious as to the skin difference and your before (vegan)vs, carnivore pics…. You look so vital, healthy and glowing on this lifestyle ❤️
OMG, I've had carb nightmares too. As I neared my health and weight goals, these dreams may have reflected an unspoken fear of backsliding into old behaviors. Once I acknowledged that I was no different than other addicts, and fully embraced my "carb-sober" lifestyle, the bad dreams discontinued. I love my carnivore life.
Yes! one week into carnivore (after keto for a few years) I am experiencing loose stools. Glad to hear this because it has been distressing.
Thank you for playing for us! ❤
Just started my carnivore journey and I'm so glad that I found your channel. Thanks for making great and informative videos.
Regarding the dish washing -- I usually let the dog lick the greasy plates first, then the dishwasher does the rest! I call her the pre-wash cycle. ;-)
I used to do that too with my daughter’s dog. She wasn’t impressed but the dog loved me
That's called a "Cold Water" wash. 😁
So you’re a pianist?!!! I’m a pianist too? Is that you’re main gig? LOVE your videos. Been carnivore a month and already feeling like a million bucks.
I’m so glad you are talking about stools. I’m going to soon start the carnivore diet and was worried about constipation. I take metformin for metabolic syndrome and it’s destroying me! I get uncontrollable diarrhea and my B12 and magnesium and iron have all dropped drastically. I have heart problems so it is worrisome for me. I was sleeping 18 hr.s a day too. I look forward to get off of it.
When I was vegan I had loose stools all the time, now strict keto I have a big problem with constipation often, but I find that taking magnesium before I go to bed helps tremendously!
I’ve been carnivore for 8 months!! “Unexplained” Chronic pain for 4 years GONE, lost all of my baby weight even while breastfeeding, energy UP, mood UP, and the clearest skin ever!!! I love this way of eating! To help my oxalate dumping from years of strict paleo, I do black tea or a little dark chocolate :) I’m so thankful for getting my life
Thank you for coving even the TMI stuff n things!! I was wondering. Super appreciate!
Thank you for all the wonderful information you have given us.
Nice Bella. I'm just new to carnivore after hearing that I was diagnosed with diabetes. That was quite a shock to me as nobody in both sides of my family has history with that. Never wanted to be the blacksheep that way. I'm starting to feel better already after dropping out all the sugars first. I'm looking forward to feeling better as time goes by. Thanks for your videos they are really great and encouraging to listen to.
Don't forget about the ammonia/acetone build up during the transition phase. It was all I could smell for 2 weeks.
I also loved your piano play! Thank you so much! ❤
Love your content! I'm planning on starting with 30 days of carnivore in January to try and heal my eczema and acne and fatigue. Thank you for your content, this makes me really excited to start with carnivore!
How’s it going so far?
I just started carnivore diet, it's been about 3 weeks so far. I'm finding soooo much of what you describe happening to me. Thanks for the video, it's somewhat comforting that some of what I'm going through is normal. I definitely feel my sense of smell and hearing has gotten better. I just joked with my wife a few days ago about it. I immediately lost 10 lbs on this diet, in 10 days...but then it's stopped now. I fully expect to loose much more, I've done other diets like keto...so I think I understand what to expect, but the immediate weight loss was interesting...I think as you mention, like, I was expelling water or something. For bowel movements, I know what you mean, mine has been sporadic from loose to rabbit poops to not pooping in a day but not constipated. I'm doing this as an elimination diet to see how it goes. I have psoriasis and am weary of type 2 diabetes as my father and his 7 brother all got type 2 diabetes as they got older. I have done a strict "sort of" keto diet before where I did only meat, veg and water...no nuts, grains, fruits, dairy...and kept potatoes out of the veg because of the starch. It was tough diet. I lost weight dramatically. Ultimately it was just hard to stay on. With carnivore, at least for now, I don't crave snacks or anything sugary. Like you say, my taste is changing I think. I had a small glass of wine tonight with dinner as a treat...and I couldn't stand it as it tasted like sugary syrup to me. So, interesting so far.
thank you so much for this video. i am new to carnivore diet been on it for 2 weeks now and i don't feel like going to crap. i have had only 5 bowel movements in 2 weeks and i don't feel constipated. i was worried. i am glad i am on the right track. when i was eating veggies with meats before i was going twice a day. now it's so different. i feel so much better. and my bloating is 100% gone now after 8 days. i also lost 5lbs just from doing nothing in 12 days since i started. again thank u so much for your videos
Thank you for sharing. Good info and great piano playing.
You're info is awesome, so glad all I had to do to go straight ruminant was cut potato, no diarrhea,or constipation. Keep up the great work🌷
I really love all of the female carnivore influencers because you are real about the unmentionables of carnivore diet. My Medical Practitioner shit a brick yesterday. I went in for a hip problem (don't know what is wrong til I get results) I told her I have been on the Carnivore way of eating for months. Her eyes were big as saucers. We discussed my cholestrol and I told her I was afraid to take the lipator - side effects. Thank you for sharing the info on loose stools. Have had a couple accidents. Now I know that hot render fats need to be approached slowly and even avoided for a while and use them for cooking. I do leave meats to cool. I am so grateful that you share that your conditions got worse before they got better. My skin (ezcema, rosacea, arthritis ( gotten better), not really losing weight - may a few pounds, though I have lost some inches - new shorts fit confortably instead of flopping on bed to zip up), cannot eat too much salt or I will bloat. Wow, I feel better because I thought maybe this was not a great idea to do carnivore.
Air fryer clean up: dump any remains grease (except bacon drippings which I save), into a disposable container. Wipe Air Fryer bucket and basket with 1-2 paper towels, getting as much grease off as possible. Set bucket/ basket in sink and add about a tsp of Dawn liquid. Add hot water to fill with as hot of water as your faucet goes. Let sit while you wet a paper towel, then use it to wipe interior of AF cavity. Toss that towel, use a dish brush to go over all surfaces of bucket and basket of AF. Rinse well and sit upside down to dry. About 17 months with my Cosori AF, and no smoke and easy cleaning! My favorite appliance ever!
Also, thank you for the tips, even as TMI topics. It's been hard to find suggestions
Since September 2022 I have been strict carnivore with exceptions here and there. It fixed the targeted issue for me which was symptoms from type 4 diabetes - PCOS.
But there were things I didn't expect to improve. For example, my feet always used to be cold and I would feel so cold when everyone would be fine. Now I feel so comfortable and nice with short sleeves even when others are feeling a bit chilly, even without cold showers.
Next it was the oil regulation. Now I can go without washing my hair for 4 days. It stays fresh! My oily facial T-zone almost disappeared as well. It cut 50% of my cosmetics/hygiene products!
Then, something unexpected happened. I started sweating for the first time in my life. Having messed up hormones since puberty, I never ever sweat. Never. But a few months into carni I had to start using deodorant for the first time ever lol. Guess that balanced out now. I feel overall amazing. This is how it will stay.
Your skin is called the 3rd kidney. Reason you started sweating is because your kidneys cant get rid of the acid the meat creates in your system. Keep an eye on your kidneys.
steak and butter gal, thank you. This got an answer as to why I'm suddenly breaking out. It's relieving to know that it will go away over time. Been about 3 months on the diet now, and I feel stronger than ever
Outstanding presentation as always. Thank you. It seems most people who are severely overweight like I was Will initially get a huge weight loss due to the curb induced water retention. My experience has been the majority of people do this for those that I know. I had the keto flu early on but I didn't know what it was at the time so didn't really recognize it as a problem. I have lost 90 lb so far on carnivore (easily). I still have a long ways to go. But I'm eating the foods that I love. I am old, I don't do insta book thing, haha, but I may have to start doing Instagram as you keep me entertained!
Great content! I’m not currently a carnivore, but I tried it twice in the past for a few weeks. I’m glad you touched on the stool topic, it’s important to know. It happened to me as well, even though I’ve been well adapted to fats due to being on keto for so long. So yeah, consuming hot meat, egg yolks with fat can result in an instant diarrhoea. Another point i want to make re. Butter, to those who might think that’s disgusting- try cold butter with sea salt crystals, it really is delicious.
Interesting what you said about carb nightmares 😅 I think it comes from being addicted to them. I used to have similar dreams when i stopped smoking, where I’d wake up so upset and disappointed that i had a cigarette only to realise it was just a nightmare. It also happened to me many times when i re-started keto diet, deciding to go strict low carb and no sugar, etc. i’d have dreams of eating mountains of sweets, chocolate, etc.
