things I love to use
Smoked salts are the finishing touch but I do use Himalayan Pink salt for dry brining and as a general salt so all the below are a final topping
if I had to suggest just ONE it would be one of the Maldon
Maldon Salt
*Smoked: amzn.to/454Jqnp
*Regular: amzn.to/3Ki4Bup
SanFrancisco Salt Co.
My favorite flavor is Alder, especially for fish!
Alderwood Smoked Sea Salt: amzn.to/44WO86E
Apple Wood Smoked Sea Salt: amzn.to/474iFS2
Hickory Smoked Sea Salt: amzn.to/3OtInbp
Pans I use when not grilling as I prefer Carbon Steel over cast iron!
*De Buyer Mineral B 12.5” carbon Steel pan: amzn.to/44HuPPf
Mineral B Carbon Steel Omelette Pan pan amzn.to/3OcLB1s
I want to try the Matfer Bourgeat: amzn.to/3Du0M1g

on my first week or 2 and getting bad heart palpitations :/ anyone else get this? I want this to work but I feel messed up
Hello I have heard of it but not super common but does for sure happen so you are not alone and more in the start of the start of this journey like you are feeling
I would try to check with some doctors that are keto carnivore friendly if its concerning for sure
also not sure your current condition size weight etc... and what you are eating in this first week your routine etc... any prior issues extreme diabetes or prior heart issues etc... of course can all matter some so this is just me kind brain dumping for you :) and of course NOT a doctor just trying to share my experience so if its serious or you have some prior conditions there are great doctors out there that are proper human diet friendly
one to check out on YT and get some info from is Dr Ovadia
ovadiahearthealth.com/
just to you have some info and maybe some info to bring in to a doctor in your back pocket you could say :)
some info out there if you google and you can see OK I am not alone :)
but its usually getting into ketosis and using that for energy as our bodies change we do experience things change
most common would be not enough salt or electrolytes being needed and or dehydration )those kinda get wrapped into one thing) are common causes with the later being a big one since we lower the carbs and by nature do not hold as much water and so much changing not saying to over drink but do make sure you are drinking enough in the start and for salting I stick by the salt to taste your food
also salt and sodium are not the same thing sodium is in salt and something we need hence the electrolytes and also some do better on certain electrolytes than others based on those mineral contents
i was fortunate and just using pink salt I did fine and while I tried electrolytes for a month I never needed them again this is all so personal but I was salting my food way more than I used to but again it was to taste NOT salting and thinking YUK to much salt I would take a bit and think OK a bit more another bite and be OK a bit more as to not overdo it at first either
some will say take electrolytes which is fine but do not overdo them either so just take the 1 serving a day maybe and see how you feel and then if you need to adjust some more or less because some folks do need a bit more and some like myself never needed them ;) does take a bit of personal balancing
just like the fat to protein ratio of what we eat over time I take in less fat than I was and feel great but in the start I was super heavy toward the fat side and was one of those consuming fatty meat with almost a stick of butter a day and thriving now butter is pretty rare for me
hope that helped and please post how its going (might have to start a new post as replies to current can get lost as they sometimes do not notify me but feel free to post back to this so folks reading this can reply
also going to pin this for a bit so I hope others might come across and help you out
truly am passionate about this as it change my life and wish you the best and always here to share what I can
Had the same thing and it turned out to be dehydration you need to drink water all day even when you don't feel thirsty it's your heart working harder due to blood thickening
I had the same thing. I've just finished day 21.
I've had all sorts of unwell feelings; from muscle ache, suffering, feeling faint, heart palpitations, coughing (diagnosed with scaring on lungs), nausea (meat aversion).
With the meat aversion, I made sure my electrolytes were at optimum levels and ate leaner meat until it went!
Today, day 21, I'm having mental fights in my head!
Onward and upwards!
God is still on the throne!
@@RuthAnne1961 I do think almost all work through this “flu” kinda thing and hope of course it turns quickly if not start slower work into it slowly :) but for sure best wishes and yes on the God ending :) my faith is my grounding in life and can say this has made my faith so much stronger as my mental side is so happy all the time as I am not sick all the time :)
Check your electrolytes. Potassium, Sodium and magnesium are important on the diet.
Great job Chad. I was keto for 8 months and carnivore now for two. Never felt better. 61 years old and feel like 21 again! Down 40 lbs. Off all meds. Amazing journey!
thanks :) we are 1 year apart so can relate to the feeling young again :)
this getting old does not have to exist the way we are told it happens the sore joints etc.. ! and we both know that now! and all just changing what we eat! it si a wild ride for sure
Why did you not stay with keto? what was still bad on keto?
my weight stalled for 2 months so I started eliminating veggies and also started intermittent fasting (one meal a day). My weight started down when I did that. My energy and mental clarity got better too. I found it much easier to do one meal a day with meat and fat only.@@huginn1879
@@huginn1879for me it was cheese. When I cut dairy and keto friendly snacks, it was night and day.
@@huginn1879 for me I can say I was not getting the results I wanted but also I was not doing clean keto ? which I am OK with :)
I'm a 69 yr old Welsh guy 11 weeks into carnivore and have had all the results you've mentioned.......I feel great.....I've lost 5 inches from my waist but have been surprised by people's reaction when I start to explain how carnivore has helped my arthritis and fibromyalgia ......their eyes glass over ......it's such a shame and a missed opportunity for many of them.......my first time on your channel and like it 😅
hahahaha awesome and laughing at the you tell people and they see you are great and wondering then say OH that has to be bad or the OH has to be dangerous what about this or that
thanks and glad ya like it : )
@@MinimalistCarnivore cheers.......I genuinely don't understand the scepticism when they themselves start the conversation with " bloody hell you've lost a shed load of weight..... how did you do that".....strange cause I didn't do it for the weight loss but everyone focusses on that while I'm painfree from my arthritis and fibro pain........I'll take that everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.........keep up the good work my new friend
Can't wait for my joint pains to go down fully. I already feel better after a week.
Yeah, when you tell people there's no sugar, just that alone will lose three quarters of those you talk to, people that are, otherwise, pretty smart. It's a shame to watch people drugging on sugar, alcohol, etc. feeding their diseases.
@@grimakastatik might take a touch longer but hope it starts super fast for you :)
I didn't start an animal based diet for weight. I did it for my RA and inflammation. Holy cow it's been almost 3 months an my inflammation is gone. Never expected it to work better than meds. All my cravings are gone. It's pretty great.
thanks, weight seems to be the big one so love hearing other reasons! as it is NOT just a loose weight thing
I did come in to lose weight but here I am 3.5+ years later because to me its the fountain of youth! and it tastes good :)
truly is mind bowing huh :)
When you say you had RA - did it seriously impair your ability to function day-to-day?
I'm 29 years old, I had terrible joints pain for 6 years. I'm 10 days on the carnivore diet, I lost 8 pounds and my pain is 90% gone! The only joint that's still hurt is my knee but it doesn't lock like before 👍 I am in disbelief 😅 Only 10 days made such a difference!
@susanwebstersyoutube2385 I was diagnosed at 17, and for over 20 years, it progressively got worse. I was at the point that getting up in the morning and walking was difficult. The meds shaved off the pain but didn't eliminate it. I was desperate for relief. So I went looking for information on anything that might help, and I found Dr Caffee. Within the first week, maybe two. This way of eating already did better than any medication. 3 months in, and I am in no pain, taking zero meds. Yes, it affected me. I was rapidly becoming crippled.
@MAGNUM3X Even my knee pain is gone now, and that was the worst. I was so used to living with the pain. It's actually weird not to be in pain. I wish someone would have told me that food might be causing my inflammation 20 years ago.
Your voice is very soothing and encouraging, I needed this on day 44!!🎉❤
Thanks :) and half way to 90 :) awesome
I’m 5 weeks in and my clarity and motivation has e increased dramatically.
I had been depressed and lazy. I have started decluttering and the more I get accomplished the better I feel. I started doing my own lawn maintenance. Haven’t don’t that in 10 years.
I have refocused on my business and beginning to see results already. I feel like I’m in control of me again. Mental clarity, and drive. It’s as if I remembered who I am.
It’s interesting to hear others share similar experiences.
awesome thanks for sharing I do think many need to see so many speaking up and thinking OH I can relate to that and keep motivated so thanks again for sharing !
This is hands down the most honest and straight to the point video you ever need to watch when getting started. So encouraging also.
Thank you!
WOW thanks so much :) so appreciate hearing that its tough to not go to long or worry about not covering enough !
also I think it is a mental game because eating the meat is easy its the letting go and not going back to old habits that is hard :)
I’ve been Carnivore for almost 8 months. In the first 3 months I had 5 autoimmune diseases go into full remission, still have 3 others that are slowly healing. My bipolar is completely gone and many other health issues gone or significantly improved. I knew 2 weeks in, I would be carnivore for life. Thank you for making these videos. I feel compelled as well to help others find healing. I found it interesting how much money you saved when you stopped having your double cappuccinos. I was lucky, I quit caffeine 28 years ago, so I didn’t have to deal with that lol. Your experience is invaluable to us newer carnivores. Thanks again.
awesome to hear :) and thanks :)
5 in full remission bet that just blows away some folks yourself included over something so simple and in front of us the whole time!
I came in open but here I am 3.5 year later no plans on stopping :)
and congrats on the caffeine 28 years ago ! so glad I stopped had such solid gains BUT I did not notice those to the two year mark and why I now beat that drum to TEST and test again !!!
@@MinimalistCarnivore I’m still wrapping my head around 3 discs being regenerated in my lower back. Now I won’t need spinal fusion. Still have surgery to do, but just some smoothing of rough spots irritating nerves branching off of my spinal cord. The healing miracles just keep coming. It’s definitely mind blowing.
@@FuzzeeRoadToHealth that is INSANE for sure
WOW! Regenerating discs just from eating meat! Unbelievable (according to standard medicine)! @@FuzzeeRoadToHealth
Thank you. I am on day 148, I am 83 , I lost 22 lbs snd this last week I cheated like crazy. Ice cream! My goal is to lose at least 30 more lbs. I am feeling well enough to exercise. I have been battling sugar cravings. Now I am eating 20 carbs of blueberries or strawberries with 1carb whipped cream . Very satisfying.
congrats :)
I’m nearly 81 been carnivore for 33 days…lost 13lbs…feeling much better…
I had diarrhoea for a good 6 months and had lots of joint pain because of oxalate dumping. I persevered and am so glad I did. My weight loss is very slow but I believe my body is doing it's best to heal. I am seeing so many other health benefits, particularly the brain clarity and lifted mood. Everyone is different and I just wanted to say that the initial struggle, although prolonged, has been really worth it. I am still on my way to wellness but I feel good about walking that path. Thanks, friend!
I'm thoroughly impressed you stuck with it through all that. Great job.
@@TheTurinturumbar Thank you! I was lucky to find Sally K Norton online, who could explain why I was suddenly experiencing arthritic pains all over my body and who offered some protocols to slow down the oxalate dumping. I also saw a you tube video of a carnivore who had had bowel issues for 7 months, so I resisted going to the doctor and just stuck with it. The fates were with me! Thanks again :)
wow long tough journey I can relate with the no gallbladder dif reasons it happens and been fighting it on and off for 3.5 years to make it a non issue so yeah its tough but great to here !
I can do it but OMAD is tough with the no gallbladder for me and I prefer that way of eating has been my struggle but it can be done but again the going over is NOT fun and leave it at that with TMI ;) hahahahahaha
love watching her on interviews she is a HUGE WEALTH of knowledge I was never veggie eater besides when I forced myself to eat that way for like 6 months total failure :) but can only imagine it is bad to come off all that !
@@Jchathe
Thank you so much for posting this! I’ve been plant based for many years, so I may have lots of oxalate dumping as well. That’s good to know. I’ll keep going too! Thanks again!
Just curious if there's a way to know it's due to oxalate dumping or are you more assuming / guessing?
Love this! Found out about your channel because of Kerry from HomeSteadHow's 10 hour livestream! Happy new subscriber here, one month into the carnivore diet. Keep the videos coming, very high quality and love hearing what you have to say. Never feel like everything has already been said about the carnivore diet, I've only seen two videos from you so far but love your takes on it. Keep it up! Also happy that you're a Christian much like myself. Can't wait to see your channel grow! Thanks again!
thanks :) and appreciate the kind words :)
I think the one month is tough as that is often kinda slow just getting moving time
will be fun to hear how your 2nd month goes
agree on the never feels like everything has been said way too many people and variables :)
yeah, faith is solid so nice to hear some of us out there still like yourself :) also heard a few new carnivores not afraid to mention theirs which is nice :)
Great comment 😊
Would love to hear your results so far. A warm welcome to this way of eating/living. Our ancestors are smiling. 😘
❤
❤Very encouraging ❤ Thank you❤ I am 156 days in. A bit discouraged because I have stalled in the shrinkage department ❤ I think it's harder for women to lose❤ Really suffered with constipation for a few months while eating lots of fat and butter. But it's better now❤ But will never quit because of 60+ health benefits ❤ Feel FANTASTIC ❤ Cut out cheese 😢 Cutting out milk😢 Made my own ghee❤ Still drinking coffee❤ only eating bacon, eggs, ground beef, beef liver❤ Your video was great❤ I hope the shrinkage continues ❤ I have to concede that I am halfway there❤ I am scaleless❤ I am against scales because it is a singular fight with gravity. Useless.❤
quickly doing math in head :) WOW over 5 months NICE !
I will always say OK stalled in shrink it happens BUT are you getting better sleep feeling better less joint pain ? other things improving I think sometimes we need to shift the focus from ONE thing and look over all :)
I do think it will and not sure how much more you have to go but my last 20 took about as long as the first 80 :)
I did weight myself 2x a day as I was curious BUT knew it did not matter when it stalled or when it went up or way down :) was just fun to watch and my curious mind had fun with it :)
People go for the eight loss. For me is the opposite, always underweight, and with carnivore I still do not get to gain weight! I wish you continued success in your journey 😊
@@fantasticprincipessa same here but I'm always trying to gain at least 8 more lbs. But yes we must focus on the many health benefits regardless.
Sounds like you are doing amazing! Much better than you give yourself credit for? Remember your body has a wisdom of its own just like God intended. If you never lost another pound, would you keep eating this ancestral diet? I ask myself this question daily because I also haven't reached my weight goal. And the answer is always the same. YESSS! Thanks for sharing. I think I'm going to take my scale & put it in storage. I've decided I don't care for the emotional rollercoaster experience. The real positive gains are mounting! Little to no more brain fog is one of the biggest ones! 😂❤🦩
Thank you for this! I'm starting month 3 of carnivore now. I sleep great, have tons of energy and have lost weight. I can't wait to see what's next!
You got this! its a fun ride as I say ! kinda like a roller coaster each one on that ride I am sure has their own experience :)
Please, anybody, disagree with me if you think I'm wrong, but I think lately, you can't stop eating carbs and sugar unless your plate (every meal) is about 75% fatty meat. This was the tipping point for me.
thanks :) love hearing what other folks do to overcome and share :)
I like your calm, grown-up, approach. I've been turned off by several channels that use flashy editing effects like sound effects, big flashing words bouncing around, stock images and video, and cartoonish memes.
thanks :) love hearing feedback :)
some thoughts from me :)
I did use stock in a couple videos but was more to help visualize a few things like coffee and cream or talking about dairy or when I was talking about the Masai tribe :) but also think it really has to have a reason!
I did want to use some of my own footage like me making a steak and it's my steak :) then I feel it can add to the story more
maybe like yourself when it's over half the video! not sure what it is that bugs me and I think did they just copy all that? :)
the sound effects things I kept wondering where could I use them but they would have to have a reason
again I love hearing feedback so thanks for taking the time to reply :) so much learning about this youtube and deciding to do this channel was tough for me but it's been so life-changing and do wish there was more out there like some of the other channels also that are real stories and what they went through and found worked or did not when I started :)
I hate overly processed videos too....but the worst thing is the click bait titles with the goofy smirks...cringe factor is off the charts...I've dropped most subscriptions .
But now I have a new subscription, thank you sir.
@zamfirtoth6441 hahaha yeah I tried a few but not so much I might have some goofy looks but trying to make it matter :)
I think like this what to expect and keep it minimal fits me more :) I love hearing this kinda feedback :)
the thumbs trying to put in something to be curious but also real and ANSWER that though :)
and thanks for the sub of course
Love the idea about freezing cream! I have been wanting ice cream lately and that will help a lot!
thanks and glad that will help :) I do say dont let it get out of hand :) and also like in the video why I liked the little molds that were about a tablespoon it was easy NOT to let it get out of hand so best of luck with that :)
one thing I did do I did not mention is I had powdered collagen on hand and I would heat up the cream a bit and use one of those little coffee whippers ikea has them for like $3 size and mix that in what was interesting is it made it a new texture kinda softer and chewier almost ?
just thought I would throw that out for you :)
A great treat ..glass of San Pelligrino water w/ice, a spoon or 2 of zero carb syrup, and 3or 4 tablespoons of hfwc….and a straw…nummmm
Love your calm encouragement and common sense. Thank you
thanks so much :)
First time watching your video . . . love finding out you are a Christian. Several channels I've watched - near naked bodies, foul mouths, and full of flaunting themselves much of the time. Was definitely in need of a channel I could recommend to my friends. You are now at the top of my list! God is good!!
First time watching one of your videos! I enjoyed it being informational and short. Good work!
thanks :)
Started month 3 on August 1st. Seeing progress and looking forward to more! Thanks for the encouragement ❤
awesome to hear :) and thanks :)
Thanks Chad, I needed these tips for extra encouragement!
you're welcome :) and thanks for watching :)
how far in are you? just curious if you are doing kinda a ketovore or more just a straight carnivore?
I started with keto, now I'm a few weeks into carnivore, I keep slipping back to ketovore. Im doing better this past week, cravings are gone. About to buy 1/2 side if beef soon.
Loved this - clear, concise delivery featuring a reasonable timeline - excellent!
thanks so much trying hard to find that balance ;) still learning delivery and so on :) also as a minimalist kinda mindset guy trying to make it good audio good video but not get to trendy flashy :); so much fun learning all this so again thanks and love hearing feedback !
@@MinimalistCarnivore you really seem to have a gift for it.
Just found your channel. Like your videos a lot - short w/out long blahs and straight to the point. Thanks much!
Thanks appreciate that :)
I might blab on sometimes but trying to keep to point and make it easy to see what I am talking about and be able to get to that or skip things that do not apply :)
Something I appreciated on other channels takes a bit more and a learning curve to it but so worth it :)
Your posting was really spot on for this metabolic syndrome from career yo-yo dieting. Now, a senior, I’m 6 weeks post beginning carnivore. Now I know, must delete cheese. I’ve only dropped 10 but not a surprise. Cravings and joint pain GONE. Thanks for the 6 months leighway to accomplish for subtle improvements. Thanks.
Keep it up and thanks :)
Thank you so much. First channel that is not pushing organ meat, 2 lbs of beef ,a stick of butter etc etc. I am on my 38 day of the carnivore journey and Like it. I am taking it a day at a time, loving my coffee and cheese (oooooooooh), Did keto prior so it was easier to transition.
No cravings and not hungry. Like you I ding chicken tasteless now and not wanting it. For now I will stick to beef, (oh yes eggs and bacon and pork sausage lol)..
Cheers
thanks
and NOPE not pushing that and kick me in the head if i do please :)
I think organ mest is fine if you like it but has to be in proportion to what the animal gives! so that is TINY % not this OH I eat a lb a week thing :)
or maybe Ok in the start IF you felt deficient in something but I know not all ancient people ate the organs either and some did out of not wasting some gave them to their dogs etc.. :)
I did eat lots of butter early on but phasing out butter now to test and did try and the more I test the more I think it's just to get clicks sadly? and some do I think want to test but I think everyone should test themselves and sure I am going to end up being like a broken record but test find what works for you :) hahhaha
like the sardine thing going around and who knows what's coming
OK sure it's fine but really I do not think the Native Americans were eating sardines vs buffalo! and did amazing or in the PNW eating whale, salmon shellfish and deer, and some seasonal berries
, and now more than ever I would say OK but can you live on ONLY can sardines and be healthy?
if not why bother making it some odd fast?
yeah like you the Keto before I do think helps and really think its not a bad way to get into this
cheers to you too :)
🎉So I opened my YT to see who’s on and there you are! Never even seen any of your video before but I am tuning in because I love listening to healing stories and will definitely pick up something to learn as I embark on this healing journey myself. Ketovore because I still consume some dairy like HWC and 1/2 & 1/2 with my BP coffee but I eat meat 98%! Good job Chad I am already your subscriber ✌️
thanks :)
Thanks for the tips. I had some "snaking, grazing" cravings last night. Not even for anything in particular, just to be eating something. Hard boiled eggs and frozen cream are great ideas. Thanks for touching on coffee as well. I don't think I could give that up yet but I am curious to try further down the line. Nice to hear you got an even greater improvement from that. I'm only a week in and I've already seen an improvement in my sleep and overall mood (that was immediate). I feel way sharper for way longer, without that midday/afternoon lull. It's been a insane improvement after only a week, I wasn't expecting it to be so noticeable so soon. Flip side, my stomach as been pretty sore most of the time and I've had on and off nausea (one episode of vomiting, I think because I ate too much fat), a complete lack of apatite while at the same time feeling like I'm starving to death (super weird combo). I can't wait to adjust properly. I'm really expecting great things now :)
thanks the coffee thing ? I never thought I would but yeah from a commercial machine guy with flat and conical grinders for the bean types and a insane cool cafelaat robot for the manual experience I never wanted to ! and as I say I tried and failed till year 2 and then it just happened nothing no withdrawals etc.. so test once in a while and decide and I do say if you can with no issues for me better sleep better sustained energy better recovery but if those do not happen I might honestly be a bit jealous as others would and just do what works for you is my thoughts :)
best of luck for sure !
You have such a calming voice! Glad you’re part of the Carnivore community! 😊
thanks :) its always funny to hear your own voice
@@MinimalistCarnivore
It is! 😆 You’ve got a great channel, and I’m happy I found you! Thanks again!
I just found your channel Chad. Thank you for the advice and I look forward to watching your videos ❤
thanks so much :)
thank you so much😊
I am in my first month of this journey. Thank you for the information and tips!!! My problem is I have many food allergies and sensitive. The only meat I can eat is turkey, egg whites and salmon. Pork gives me so much swelling as well as beef. Though I am trying different grass fed beef brands hoping that one will not cause any symptoms. My struggle is making sure I get enough fat each day. After about a week I am finding my cravings slowly going away while not denying myself of any foods I crave. I feel so much better and am improving each day with less pain and stiffness. Losing weight would be nice but I am tickled pick of how well I am feeling.
Thank you!!
actually being allergic to beef is pretty rare and associated with a tick bite usually :)
it might be some histamine response that is getting you?
but yeah I have severe allergies so don't do spices etc.
few thoughts :)
so beef or meat that is not aged is best lamb or goat? as often that is not wet aged like beef?
avoiding longer cooked foods like roasts is always good
or try a local rancher and see if you can get some beef that would not be aged might be some tips
I do think many look to much at only weight and realize this can offer so much more and the weight will come off just takes time but enjoy the other wins of feeling better from joints to mental clarity etc..
tough spot but sounds like you are figuring it out :) best of luck for sure !
Just started Carnivore with my husband. He has health issues he’s healing and needs to gain weight and I need to lose weight and get healthy. Love your videos! So informative AND concise!
Thanks so much :) will be fun to hear your progress while I was just weight loss now its just that fountain of youth effect :) so do wish ya both the best as it does seem to work for those wanting to put on weight
Thank you for sharing and giving me hope I’m having a hard time staying with it.
You are so welcome
may I ask how or why is it hard to stay with ?
what are you eating and what is the goal ?
for the last one often its weight loss it was with me :) but even on those stall days I did think WOW my sleep is better I am feeling better and clothing is fitting better etc....
I think sometimes we focus so much on just the weight and we want that to be gone so also focus on those other things :)
if its just the hard not to snack that is a tough one and a few little tricks I did like the frozen cream in silicone molds
or making a waffle out of pork rinds and egg :) I would take pork rinds and crush them to a panko crumb consistency and then maybe use a heaping spoon full and a egg mix it together had this little dash waffle maker its like 4 inches and then put the mixture in there :)
you can put in pepperoni and mozzarella for a pizza flavor
or bacon and chedar and they make a great bun for a burger if craving that !
or use them for eggs Benedict !
Very informative as I approach my 3rd month in a few weeks. Thank you!
glad it helped :) your welcome
Thank you. I needed to hear this.
You are so welcome
I, too get nothing from chicken, turkey and pork. I am in my 4th week and have suffered miserably with cravings. Each time I have eaten the thing I think I can not live without - I have paid dearly with headaches, indigestion or insomnia. It is an amazing journey discovering what foods do to me. I am hanging in there but I can say it is not pleasant. When I stay true to the diet I can sleep through the night - which is major for me. I am still on coffee but know I will have to give that up as well. The deprivation is difficult. I also find that when I eat until I am full - to control cravings - I am too full and suffer from overeating. It is all a learning process. I will keep on trying to find my balance. My "why" is to achieve better health and well being. Weight loss would be a definite plus. I have lost 3 pounds at the end of 3 weeks.
Thanks for sharing
I have said sometimes testing or trying foods takes away the back of the mind do I still like this as I say takes away all doubt that you might like something
And if you do then you know you HAVE to stay away and maybe can test again and find out one day that will also be gone
But does seem more things hurt than crave when testing later I have found
And the power we develop along the way of so many NOT being good or feeling that little bit of whatever again makes us stronger to resist
So I am all for testing things IF you truly know yourself and WONT get sucked back in :)
And the chicken pork thing is interesting you notice that quickly but does show for me and you and others
Something about it is not for us :)
To the over eating I reckon that might come in time as it sounds like you know whats happening :)
Thanks again :)
Really appreciate your video. You’re a fantastic speaker and inspirational.
thanks so much :)
I am so glad I found your podcast!
thanks so much :)
I had already started going keto and had slipped back into old snacking habits. Got back into eating better and found carnivore. I'm one week in.
The only red meat I had eaten before was a couple burgers a month. Otherwise I was on chicken breast and veggies mostly. I'm finding the red meat super filling I'm eating like once or twice a day, probably only around half a pound each time.
My joints feel so much better and I experience amazing brain clarity.
I'm lucky to have already trained myself out of sweets and had already discovered the benefits of not drinking coffee.
I hope the journey continues along smoothly. Feels great so far.
Thanks
Quite a few folks come over from keto myself included and do find just meat fills you up makes you feel good and is just easy non complicated and works :)
Hope you keep getting the benefits for sure :)
also getting away from the old snack sweet habit as you said is HUGE IMHO to break free from for some of us
❤🙋🏼♀️ Hello, I’m Julie from Alabama. I enjoyed your video. Thank you!!! I’m 9 weeks on BBBE. I haven’t had the success like you and everyone else. I still feel like crap!!! I’m a type 2 with high BS. I believe I’m healing from the inside out and it’s just going to take time for my body to start letting go of fat!!! When I started, I weighed 306#. Now weigh only 299.6. But I’ve lost inches! I’m starting to walk, so maybe I’ll start seeing some lower BS and weight loss! I’ll be glad when I start feeling better!! My body has no choice but to change and get healthy! ❤
OH to funny I read that with a souther accent because of that Alabama :)
HI :)
the weight thing is odd and I did weigh myself but I could ignore it and not care !
I was blown away with how I felt and looked more so
the fact you said you lost INCHES ! that is the thing to watch is how you FEEL and how you LOOK
I also say how long did it take you to get where you are now form when you were in better shape ?
9 weeks is nothing to that I bet :) and for me I did not do much the first 4 weeks and many do not and even 7 or 9 or whatever some do not move on the weight but they do have other things happen and tend to focus on the weight more than the other things ;)
you can do it keep at it lean on the community and ask and just for motivation so many of us out there :)
If your losing inches and not as much weight, than that means your gaining muscle so you're likely doin fair better than the scale is telling you
Thank you sir, very well presented, succinct but full of good advice. Just getting started on this way of life and at 80 years old l am looking forward to a healthy future.
thanks so much :) and good on ya to start !
keep posting if ya start to notice stuff even if its a new post each time :) always fun to hear stories of folks doing this later on in life :) and saying START NOW
Thanks for the info. Im trying. After a couple weeks i quite but going to try again.
Best of luck! just get back up ! keep going right away as I feel less ground to go back over to get back into it !
watch a baby learn to walk ! they fall so many times and keep going and you can tell they do not say OH maybe tomorrow :)
you can do it :)
Thank you for your words. Im now 3 months in to carnivore. Your Videos given me strengh to stay on Track. Sorry for my Bad english. All the Best from germany
Hello Germany :)
3 months in awesome :) as I say the next 3 were my favs early on as every day was moving forward to that half year mark
Your english and grammar I reckon will be better than mine :) hahahhah
Thanks again take care :)
I am at week 3 only, but thank you for this video Chad, it's very helpful, informative 🇬🇧
AWESOME and 3 week for sure hold to 3 months and I bet if do and you will wink wink :) that 6 month mark will be awesome :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore thanks Chad, I am going to stick with it 😊👍🇬🇧
This is an excellent video.
I am a committed carnivore now but my journey has been long and up-down.
I love how you are realistic and not intimidating.
thanks and love to hear feedback :) I think the truth is all of our journeys has had ups and downs to get going
then we kinda lock onto what works from those experiences and KNOWING what we can and cant get away with
sure its tough but some can lock on quicker but as long as we get there that is what counts and that learning along the way
@@MinimalistCarnivore My journey has been on-off for nearly nine years.
This is my best year so far.
I have multiple health benefits and I'm doing better than everyone who hasn't tried carnivore yet.
HEY it just clicked I was on that Kerry Homestead thing also so sorry did not notice the first time I know you ;) OK kinda know you :) hahahahaha
HELLO ! we have to get together for sure do some live chat or recorded chat etc...
looked on your site no email so hit my about and email me :) if you are up for that !
again sorry this video taken off has been a whirlwind :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore I am not very tech savvy so dont really know how to do that.
Also I haven't really lost enough weight to be a complete inspiration.
I'm definitely getting somewhere now though.
@@MinimalistCarnivore I can't see your email on your about page. Are you sure it's there?
Strange , but I now actually enjoy feeling hungry.
My main problem was sugar addiction and using food in the same way an alcoholic uses drink.
Feeling bad I would eat stuff to feel better which I did momentarily and then suffer regret and feel worse than I did.
Carnivore has been great for my health , but it's the mental benefits that I am most thankful for.
Even when I am having a bad day , I can cope with it so much more easily and I no longer use food as an emotional crutch.
I feel more of a Man in that I feel stronger physically and mentally.
yeah its a game changer for so many things the hungry also you get is not like the old hungry for me either and like you said not a bad thing more a like you are ready as a lion to go hunt feeling if that makes sense
I quit coffee the first week because I was too sensitive to the caffeine. I was jaked on half caff. Now I have decaf espresso with heavy cream and a bit of salt..soooo good!
Congrats :)
that is great to know what you can have and what you can not and why I love testing things out so much :)
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the info. I am 8 months in, and I am almost at my weight. I lost 50 lbs since January 31. I love the knew me. No more Gerd medicine and no more high blood pressure!!
so awesome it is wild what this can do :) I truly still just shake my head and think WOW !
thanks Chad … 78 years old and 6 months pretty strict carnivore … 16/8 eating window totally amazed at the benefits … reached my 20 year old weight and stayed there … also cut the statins … awaiting bladder/kidney stone laser treatment but otherwise bio markers all good … next step muscle resistance training with X3 bar arriving from US this week … thanks agin for the continued motivation
Thanks for sharing :)
Yeah its pretty amazing to get back to the weight of your youth feel good be healthy and like I was told OH that will never happen you can not get back to the weight of your 20-30s over 50 :) hahahahaha
OK SURE not eating what you push I could not :)
I started carnivore exactly 4 weeks ago, coming from keto. I also do alternate day fasting which I just started this week, as I am getting down to the last 20 lbs or so that I want to lose. I will say... I was shocked as how much I had the carnivore flu considering I was coming from keto, but even dropping from 20 to virtually 0 net carbs a day, I had a terrible reaction for a few days due to electrolyte imbalances. I had shaking, confusion, panic attacks, muscle twitching and heart palpitations. I also realized that the magnesium I got was minimum of three pills a day, and I was only taking one, so my magnesium was super low. Once I got my magnesium corrected and salted my water for a few days, I started to feel soooo much better. Right now, the struggle is sleep. I know with fasting, that can be an issue and it hopefully will resolve sooner rather than later. But now, I feel calmer and more at ease, and the energy is great. Just gotta get a full night of sleep at some point! 😅
Thanks for sharing
Interesting how you had so much keto flu going carnivore while mine was only at the start of the keto and was smooth coming into carnivore :)
So thanks again this is the sharing all that we all experience so others can see its NOT all the same we each have our own unique journey :)
I never did electrolytes but did salt quite heavy which was to my taste at the time also ate a ton of nuts that had salt ?
Does seem electrolytes are something that folks need or seem to get along without which again is interesting and good to know for others
Hope the sleep starts to get better :) and curious if you are drinking coffee at all ?
For me that was a game changer in time I slept but carnivore overall helped me sleep longer and did find those full 7-8 hour sleeping nights are superior to the lower hours which I can do BUT again not as good as the 7-8 that I do best with
Superior in I feel better all day long also do feel I could workout or hike better and do think I lost more weight on those good sleep weeks but that is just me thinking no actual data but there is some data out there that shows sleep is HUGE for weight loss :)
Thanks again for sharing
I drink coffee black with noting added. Did quit for 3 months and even in that time I didn't get over the withdrawal symptoms fully. I know I'll have another go again sometime but it will probably be the last thing I give up. And thanks for sharing Chad. Very informative video.
thanks :)
agree on the last thing :)
took me till 2 yrs into Carnivore so I am pretty lax on that being so critical
I do wonder if one needs that much time to truly heal up more? have heard Dr. Chaffee talk about long-term benefits?
my first year and around 1.5 I did not notice the benefits then either and kinda thought well its not bugging me but was blown away by that 2nd year !
but also could have just been me:)
Just subscribed after watching you on the 10 hour Carnivore live stream by Kerry @HomesteadHow!
thanks so much :)
"Slow down" is GREAT advice.
thanks :)
That's so good advice about converting cream into an ice-cream like treat.
I actually hardly use cream or double cream even though I always love the taste. Even though it has very little sugar in it, it always tastes like a desert.
Now I started Keto on the way to Carnivore, I'm going to experiment with single and double cream in my tea as a milk replacement.
I did several searches and there is conflicting information on which has more carbs and sugar between single and double cream but it seems double cream has slightly less.
Also, in your talks I think it would be helpful in your videos when you mention how it would be good to eventually phase out foods like cheese and coffee if you could explain why for those of us just starting on the journey and still don't know the nutritional/diet factors of each food type.
yeah, it really helped me get through it and now don't crave it or care :) but giving up stuff can be tough and that comfort is a huge mental thing :) easy to say " Oh, just quit but for some it's tough :) hahahahah
not as familiar with the single or double? but the whipping cream as we call it is often the better more fat less lactose and better than the less fatty stuff :)
will try to convey that more so thanks :)
I think the main reason is just so you truly KNOW if it is what is bugging you or stalling or you have some other effect and then you can decide if you want to quit or enjoy it ! or maybe find you can enjoy it in small amounts and not be affected
so maybe to say test if and know for sure what it's doing or not doing to you :)
and I do say repeat that every year as I noticed long term some things I did get in such good shape I now notice those negatives more
my analogy might be playing a musical instrument When you first start most anything will do and you cant tell the difference of an expensive instrument but as you get better you also might realize you like certain ones that have a certain sound for whatever reason :) not a guitar guy but had friends who are and I know they are very particular
hope that analogy made some sense :)
As a cake baker its been a challenge when an order comes in. I have decided to stop baking and stop taking orders because even tthinking about a cake design seems to stall my progress. Yhe last cake i made was my daughters q7th moss mushroom fairy cake its was amazing. A white chocolate myd cake and white chocolate genach flavoured with peppermint. I didnt have anything to eat til after the party was over and so much left i felt i should at least taste it to see how it turned out and one small piece went to 2. Then a small piece each day tol it went. It was a big slip up monthand my headaches and body pains straight back and stopped me from leaving home. So i decided it was just another painful lesson clear to remind me of how important living a carnivore diet really is for me. Im healing many auto immune conditions including diabetes so vital i make tough life changing decisions. My health and ultimately my life depends on it. What pthers eat is their business and what i eat is my business. We must be the captian of our own ship and manage what direction to sail and not let the winds of life stall or sidetrack us. Incidentally, Im going into my 5th month now and my resolve and eating patterns are set and im loving the carnivore way and discovering what a real appetite is and how meat, eats, salt, butter satisfy the soul and body best. Im so greatful to now know the secret to a healthy way of eating. I love and apprecaite all the brave and clever youtubers making videos testifying to this winning way. 😊
thanks and very true about our own ship :)
doing a vid on the cheating term :) I am not a fan of it hahahaha but also the fact yeah if we pay the price we learn is how I started to look at it when I was doing keto :)
a bad analogy but kinda works is for some that went to college and put all that money into a degree they never used ! what a waste :) but I do think when they look back they realize it was NOT the degree it was the college life they learned from so as we look back once we are ahead of that treat or down to our goal and maintaining we realize even the slip ups had a purpose we maybe needed to truly learn
if that makes sense :)
Hey Chad! You looked soooo different in that before picture!
thanks and YUP and I have very few of them as I was good at hiding from cameras :) hahahahah
Great video, motivating. I’ve been trying carnivore since June, the hardest part has been social situations and battling a parasite…
the parasite thing only thing I can relate to is I used to live in Honduras for a year got Giardia and Dysentery :) NO FUN if its anything like that the buggers are not fun
but the social I am sure you can get used to it just going to take time for me since I was never hungry I never felt I had to and lucky my friends are not the OH come on have one with us type they respected that :)
also the changes some saw were so huge !
granted I did not have a very active social life was more revolving around other dads at our kids activities say events or camping trips :) not going out for the evening but hope ya get that covered :)
5 months in, 71 yrs old and my results aren't like the younger bunch. I lost 18 lbs the first month and a half and not a stinkin' thing since (I don't need anyone's advice on stalls, I'm good with everything). I'm glad you put this video out I need some comparable age people to compare to.
I can relate to that :)
quite a few folks in the 70+doing this which is great to hear !
First time listening to you. New subscriber 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks so much :)
Ong your voice is SOOOO relaxing and totally chilling me out!❤
thanks
always funny to hear one self so I always think I am quite nasally :) haahhahaha
@@MinimalistCarnivore nope... you have one of those Calm App or Storytelling voices... very Taurus type energy. Just discovered your videos today. Am on week 2 of carnivore and loving it. Had two days of better sight... has reverted again but have better hope. Eczema seems to be worse but also clearing too. So am only at the start. Thanks for sharing your wisdom 🤗
@@deborahjkelly thanks again :)
congrats on week 2 :)
will be fun to hear what you think around month 3 or after that
it is truly so wild that just eating meat can do so much for so many of us :)
thanks again :)
Way to go! I had many of the same things, too. I was told I had that I had long haul Covid cough with a lot of stuff in the morning...that dwindled down and now is non existent. During the day I would just start coughing uncontrollably....now gone. Agree with the scale. I go by clothes and how they fit. Totally agree with chicken...totally lost my taste for it. I do coffee, but am slowly losing my taste for it, too. I have heard that Caffeine pills help with quitting coffee for temporary.
curious if you got the vid before you were carnivore and it helped you get through ? or did you get it near the start ?
I did get it about one year in and for me was a big nothing as I was on carnivore for a year already and I do say carnivore truly made it a big nothing :)
yeah no ideas about caffeine pills from experience BUT have heard the same thing :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore I got covid before it was known around Christmas of 2019, so before I did carnivore. I work in healthcare so got it a couple of more times, but it was light all three times. The productive cough and uncontrollable cough have been present since then and have gone almost completely away. I think it was Chaffee that recommended the caffeine pills. I still enjoy coffee and work nights, so will stay on it for at least now. Brain fog was horrible until after I started carnivore. Totally went away. I have never felt so focused.
I did a shoot (event photographer) for Attania Jan 2020 or so :) not sure if you heard of them but they do healthcare but what was funny is I had just started so still out of shape and kinda before it popped off and I got sick and so did a lot of others :) hmmmmmmmm was like a super bad cold ? but could have just been that who knows
yeah it is truly wild what it brings to the table for health ! and why its pushed so negative by so many does make me wonder big time !
I am up to month 4. I have learned that I can build up so fast now. I am gaining so much strength.
that is great :)
So encouraging to hear! I'm looking forward to the same thing once the "flu" goes away! Thanks for posting!
@@capealiaksin8776 thank you
you eating eggs and bacon too?
@@EspinosaFilms I eat eggs. Bacon is very expensive in Indonesia
Two months in and I have the same wins when going up stairs. My joints used to click and pop and that has stopped. I can go fast. Just noticed that yesterday. It really is remarkable.
thanks :)
and yeah it is wild how you realize WOW this is not happening anymore
This is super reassuring. I have been at this for 2 weeks and the weight is NOT MOVING. My pants are a little looser and i feel better and my appetite is changing, so somethings happening. But my feet hurt and I would like to be lighter for some relief.
The ice cream hack is a good one. The desire for a treat is a dopamine driven action, and the pleasur you get from it fades quickly after the first 2-3 bites
thanks :) the pants being a little looser is good and hope that helps ya have motivation as you said something is changing :)
and 2 weeks took me a month to notice much and I was even keto before hand some stall for 2 months :) but also remember how long did it take you to get to where you are today ? how long did you want to get in shape and just could not :) 2 weeks is a drop I am sure
keep pushing and I bet at that 3 month mark you go WOW and have total commitment to keep going :)
the treat dopamine hit is real ! and yeah the pleasure is seconds and fades but the effects can be hours or days and if not unchecked turn into why all of us are doing this !
once you get past you realize that feeling so good ALL THE TIME is so much better than that moment of taste or pleasure and that hit does not effect you so much so becomes easier to say no and while some still struggle it becomes something they can control !
Thank you👍🏿.
Welcome!
Thank you for this video.
I'm 3 weeks in.
Although i am on an ideal weight (71 kg 184cm tall) i am getting shredded and my abs are sticking out which is great
Sadly that's the only positive thing i can say for now.
The diarrhea is awful. My sleep is bad. My energy low. My hips hurt for some reason (never happened).
My mental health issues are not at all improving nor is my skin.
I jumped straight in with no proper transition from a high carb low fat diet so i know it's a big shock for my body.
I had zero slip ups in these 3 weeks and I'm proud.
I'm determined to keep going and hopefully I'll start seeing some real benefit soon.
I've watched a ton of these videos and for low energy people say to make sure you're getting enough fat and possibly more importantly that you're getting enough electrolytes. Especially if you've got diarrhea then you're probably dehydrated af. Sodium, potassium and magnesium. I've heard one guy report that once he introduced organ meats into the diet he got all his energy back. The initial shitiness would have been withdrawals, but you should be over the withdrawals by week 3. Keep in mind that like 80-95% of people see improvements in pretty much all areas. But that leaves the 5-20% that don't.
@@meganm4350 thank you. I'll keep going for a minimum of 3 months before I decide if it's worth continuing.
I'm taking electrolytes btw
Are you eating really fatty meat? Like ribs etc. I think it helps
@@AlyssaSunshineAngel yeah I often eat bacon,use butter, tallow. I'm not keeping track of the fat to protein ratio tho. I'll try to increase the fats somehow,maybe I'll introduce cheese?
@@meganm4350 spot on :) and also about the % !
I do think the organ meats at first to get balanced can be a bit more but for the long term think what is the ratio the animal gives us :) and eat in that ratio :)
Awesome I'm about 6 months in and feeling great.
Thanks for sharing and awesome to hear :)
you eating eggs and bacon too?
Yes i do @EspinosaFilms
Trying the diet only one week in, the sugar craving are starting to wain. Enjoying the meat doing fried breaky and a big steak 7 hours later. I have 2 conditions that zap my energies. Last two days I've been exercising and I went for a bike ride haven't done that for a good while feeling like things are picking up and I defo feel more positive.
Thanks for sharing and good to hear feeling better and getting out on the bike etc...
and just 2 weeks :) sure its only going to get better :)
Starting my journey tomorrow, just got back from the butchers. Just subscribed
Awesome! Thank you! and enjoy the journey : ) post back some as you move through it always fun to hear how folks are doing and for others to read and get inspiration
90 lbs in the first 6 months, stopped all Bp meds, no more diabetes type II, and fights with my VA doctor about statins. Reduced size from filling out 2X to comfortable 1X, still about 20lbs to go mostly belly fat. Chicken is a once a week thing. I shop my butchers sale bin. Chorizo and eggs. Oh! I too am a minimalist, most don't get it. Ride a bike, no car.
awesome!
to be off BP meds but have been a wild smile you had! and if you are like me shaking your head thinking it was this easy to loose the weight and get in shape !
putting out a vid on first 12 months made a joke in there about how I used to blame the dryer for making my shirts tighter :) hahahahaha and I wear sport material that does not shrink ! hahahahaha
and used to try to stretch out the shirt with my arms inside !
wow more minimal than we are but did no car for many years so can relate was easier when I was younger and single for sure :)
but we have to have a car the way we are where we are but only have the one daughter at 19 work and college I do think we are going to have to break down get another though :)
I need to cut down again on some stuff in life as moving here to mainland a few things got out of control ! but I am doing that! mainly camping gear as I love camping but getting rid of car camping stuff and getting back to just hiking stuff ! and now that I am in shape I CAN hike
when I met my wife I had a 420 sqft place my whole life could fit in 3 bags and a bike box and did not have a car for years ! then wife and I even had our first child in 720 sq ft place I really miss that small essential life and want to get back into that kinda way of life !
the one upside to loosing all this weight and being so stable the clothes that fit now do not wear as much which is a odd thing I noticed so for 2.5 yrs everything has held up quite well
Thanks for that .....Christine in NZ 😊
your welcome ;)
Thanks for this video. I heard about all this people losing tons of weight. I have lost just 3 pounds in 2 weeks. But I feel better of my inflamation and cravings
thanks :) and yeah to me the weight loss is why many come but word is out it does so much more and anyone that stalls on weight I say look at all the other things :)
Thank you for the video. That was a good break down. That's awesome how much weight you lost! I'm still on month 2 and looking forward to more improvements. I'm feeling better, but still have joint pain and fatigue. I'm thinking I may need to get off eggs. That's all I'm eating that may be hindering the improvements in energy. I was listening to Dr. Chaffee and he was saying he played Rugby and never got tired on the carnivore diet. I'm looking forward to that lol. Great videos though. Thank you.
thanks :)
congrats on the 2 months :) you got through the first that is HUGE
it does take a while and as I said for me at least and many others its a slow change for those things where its not like one day its just gone but just slowly goes away and you start to notice hey I am not as soar as I was last time I did this :)
would love to hear how ya feel at the 6 month mark
sorry for grammar not good at writing :) so hold on as I brain dump ! hahahahah
eggs :) I cant eat them now?
I did not notice I was having reactions earlier (first year of carnivore) as my skin was itchy etc..
NOW if I eat more than about 8 I get super itchy skin like I used to have! when eating other foods
my analogy I did not get more sensitive I was just numb to what they were doing
think of it as having hearing protection on and you cant hear certain noises as you lessen that hearing protection you hear more ;) hope that works !
now I can still eat like 4 and be OK but I can't eat 4 for say 3 weeks! I can eat 12 for 7 days maybe and if I only eat 7 I can do that for two weeks so it's like it builds up in me? but I have severe food allergies :) and never got tested for eggs? not sure why or they did not do it back then?
also if I eat just the yolks I am OK :) so for sure an egg white thing
the BBBE thing if you have heard of that ? worth googling if not I might say make some eggs but make sure you have red meat and play with what ratio works for you?
yeah for me at the over 3.5 year mark never get bored and still look forward to eating whatever I am cooking that day I also found it over time say after that 2 year mark to truly let go of spices and actually just prefer meat with nothing but salt now! the first year I did use spices some !
I still might have a bite of my boy's fajita or taco meat once in a while its more to have a memory of that kinda like hearing an old song you loved from say Highschool days! fun to hear but might not be something you want to listen to all day :)
thanks again and take care!
@@MinimalistCarnivore thank you for all of that information! Really helpful!!
Getting off eggs made a big difference for me and I don't miss them 😊
yeah getting off the eggs for me was HUGE for no itchy skin !
I still will test them but again I like being my own guinea pig as I am so curious
Me too. I haven’t noticed too much difference. Waiting for the energy burst. I’ve given up eggs and pretty much doing the lion diet. Hope that makes a difference
hi I like to say thanks for you video I'm on day 3 only but are looking forward I'm glad for you and hope this is me as well one day. one day ate the time.. all the best from Denmark
thanks :)
Today (Monday) is day 3 for me too
I’m only 3 weeks in and my exhaustion is getting worse instead of better. Thank goodness I’m not having cravings, my constant hunger has subsided, and my joint pain is becoming quiet. I’m all in!
good to hear
I know some say if tired electrolytes may help ? just make sure NOT to get the ones with artificial sweeteners and of course for some it makes no difference ;)
IMHO just salt to taste and drink plenty of water !
You are probably having KETO flu, meaning your body is depleting it's glucogen stores and it hasn't yet switched over to using fat (ketones) for energy. As soon as you do, you will feel amazing! Any day now. Just make sure you eat enough fat. All the best!
It's exactly the same for me at 3.5 weeks in. Starting this diet has been unexpectedly exhausting. One day soon we'll be adding to the success stories here!
I just reached 6 months. I feel amazing every day!
awesome :)
you eating eggs and bacon too?
5 months in lot of sucesses a few struggles but overall major wins! reversed t2 diabetes went from 36 to 32 pants -45 lbs so far. maybe 20 or so lbs to go.
that is awesome to hear about reversing your T2 ! and you will make that last 20 I am sure :)
Great video!
Thanks so much :)
I'm down to a size 40 from a 48. I was around 310 a year ago. Last time I weighed I was right at 160, but bathroom scales are notoriously inaccurate. I probably messed up a bit yesterday and we went to a Chinese restaurant, but still ate only meat, even though it was probably cooked in seed oils. I know I'll have to stop that entirely. Otherwise, a lot of joint pain is gone and I have more energy.
WOW so 150 so far ! just WOW
on youtube search for intentional carnivore and wont give anything away amazing story
yeah the bathroom scales are but close enough to get an idea :)
and true on the Chinese place but I try to have that OH well not much you can do and just move on attitude anymore ! and the not to beat myself up anymore on the mental side of things :)
and if you get some joint pain or notice IMHO it was like getting spanked as a child that pain WORKED for me to NOT do something again :)
Very helpful
Thanks :)
I need to start this so bad !
mark it on the calendar ? make it happen whatever it takes and huge community of carnivore folks for support
make it happen life changing as I am sure you see and hear
just found your channel. been on keto/carnivore off and on for 5 years. \
lost over a hundred pounds, cured my type 2, inflammation was gone, felt like a 20 year old and had the strength and flexibility of a 30 year old. everything was great in the healthy range.
this is after a heart attack when i weighted 315 and up pounds.
bypass of course.
update!
the last six months, i fell off the carnivore life.
seduced by pizza toppings only. then maybe a small piece of bread. after all, i am a carnivore.
Boom! a 50 pound gain in six months,. did not see it coming, my carb monster was back.
no joke, i was walking by a full length mirror two weeks ago, i looked like i was in the last month of a having a baby
today, i have no idea how much i lost. i stopped weighting myself and only look at results.
so back on keto/carnivore life mission.
a rough start with the keto flu. as my body was screaming for carbs.
two weeks in, i found out when i eat eggs, i get a chest rash.
had it for most of my life.
so it seems i am heading to beef and water plus salt.
had my blood done, numbers are good, yes my cholesterol is high ldl, however my other numbers are great,
type 2 is now around 4.6=5 as long as i leave diet coke alone. really!
i hope it pleases the heavens, i can not have diet coke.
love hearing stories like this !
hear attack did start to freak me out when I was over that 275 ! I was afraid honestly
I ask this with as mile but did you go Ok going to be tougher to seduce me into the pizza example and I learned some for next time or do you think its always there ?
I am not sure if I am lucky but I have no desire for any old thing of course I could say OK a slice and who knows but its easy to not even start for me
now some that have issues and does seem they say OK just the topping then one leads to another and soon its the whole pizza cause why not its just some crust
does that make sense ? or kind work to how it creeps up on ya ?
the key is like me I had to learn from that fall and move on :)
and the high cholesterol numbers from Dr Chaffee to Dr Baker to Dr Berry showing the truth about those numbers and now the medical backing away from that knowing they were wrong is good though
keep at it make it last and of course if you fall get right back on :) so easy to say but its from the heart !
@@MinimalistCarnivore for me, it is being aware, of the goal.
living for at least the next 3 decades.
our world is moving so fast in tech.
will be interesting to see it at 93
What happens when you drink diet coke???
Sorry to hear about your weight gain.
I would suggest that you look into more things you can do in your Keto periods if you want the Pizza toppings.
I do mostly Keto, but I might have a couple of days of Ketovore / Carnivore. I lost 90 pounds initially, but gained it all back after COVID and not checking Mt Hluecose levels after trying new "Keto products".
Since Jan of this year I have lost 50 pounds. I am a big proponent of all the different low carb choices.
For me right now, lupin flour has been a game changer..... and has opened up a ton of stuff......
In that same vein though, the Carnivore community has really got some crazy hacks for good now. I even seen some for pizza.
Hang in there and keep fighting
@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica the drink messes with my body. so i avoid it and just drink water with maybe a lemon in it.
Thank you for your insight, inspiration….68 year old here carnivore since end of February…eliminated BP meds, no more CRESTOR…BBBE healing so much…
kicking meds has to be a great feeling!
so you almost at 6 months then if my math is good :) that is awesome I know I have no desire to ever change and never get bored of my meat and actually look forward to it
You are doing far better than this 67 yo, 7 months carnivore, congratulations!
I'm 68 years old . Today is day 120. This last week I stopped eggs only because I'm desperate for results and don't know what's stopping my recovery. I've lost 75lbs and about 40 lbs since starting. I'm basically eating, beef, bacon, fish, butter with some seasoning. I have a cup of coffee with a teaspoon of cream once or twice daily. My Rheumatoid arthritis has not yet improved. I won't stop but you've given me hope that I just haven't been on it long enough.
I know it all takes us various times
also thinking as we get older we might take a bit longer which makes sense ;)
for some inspiration

YT Carnivore friend of mine :)
but man losing 75 lbs is Huge and 40 of that for the 4 months has to feel good and hope it also keeps you motivated
wish I remember more when my deepest joint pains became that OH WAIT I don’t notice those
I do say its more a one day you just start to notice wait I have not been noticing this and NOT a one day you wake up and everything is good
so in Daves example of walking stairs you might notice that when stairs really bugged you you soon realize wait this is not as bad as it was before
hope that makes sense
Rheumatoid arthritis I know can be quite sever for some
so depending on levels etc...
I do say my outward plateau was around that 1.5 yr mark for me and I kept getting gains and I do try to remember it took a while to get where we are so even if its a year and it actually starts reversing and medicine use goes down and eventually away :) hang in there !
thanks and hold fast !
I'd cut out the processed meats (bacon, etc.) and the dairy and eggs. I have dealt with autoimmune inflammation and continued to flare until I eliminated those kinds of meats and, sadly, the dairy, butter, cream, and the eggs. Some of us are more sensitive. You might want to try eating ghee if you need that butter.
4 months strict carnivore....
Mostly salt cravings.
My increased salts intake has been substantial and life changing....
Its going to be an amazing journey.
yeah I salt quite well to taste but my taste like the salt more than before :)
mostly Himalyan for dry bring and some Maldon or smoked salts for a finish
4 months is a solid in it though congrats :) and yeah only gets better
@@MinimalistCarnivore
I'm awestruck at so many improvements....not just my clothes sizes but my vision as well.
Even my tinnitus has calm quite a bit .
If for nothing else the improvements of my quality of life are well worth this.
@@MalleusDei275 yeah my tinnitus is al but gone when I do get it I do this finger tap thing on the back of my head and goes away with in a few seconds even :) its truly wild all the little things skin is better teeth gums are better
The hair on my head getting color back more but not my vandyke which was strange but oh well
@@MinimalistCarnivore
Improved skin....I've learned to much dairy increases histamine responses....
I used to drink almost a gallon a day not long ago....couldn't imagine it now.
I'll fast at least 4 days before my next appointment for blood work....
Wait till my doctor sees this....
😂🤣
the other some notice with histamine is aged meats and meats cooked longer which I notice so chuck roast as example I cut thin do on the grill then instant pot for 10-20 minutes compared with the crock pot for hours to me huge difference ;)
the cheese also I get some histamine but its more a deeper congestion feeling sometimes the aged I have been trying has been better but need to see what week 2 brings on all the cheese I am eating :) I am ok being a guinea pig for my own testing I find it quite interesting
Thank You
welcome :)
Nice work , I’ve started my own channel , thanks for advice
No problem 👍
sub to ya :) wish I got to my kids early but was not doing it :) (saw the mcdonalds one) but trying to get them clean keto mine are now 19 and 14
my 14 yr old boy eats a lot of meat but still gets some other stuff trying to make him do it on his own so its real though if ya know what I mean like pizza at youth group he has to want to say NO not because dad says so
ya look good for 56 spot on !
my wife is Canadian her parents immigrated from UK just over 50 years ago so we still have a HUGE amount of rellies on that side
@@MinimalistCarnivore Thankyou so much , really enjoy your channel, yes I agree
69 years old, day 34 here.
Started out with eggs in the a.m. and beef later in the day. First 10 days felt great, then the detox really set in and have pretty much felt like crap since. I believe it is a massive candida die-off issue for me. Could no longer stand the eggs or trying to do 2 meals, so have just been on beef and butter OMAD. Have had a lot of trouble wanting to eat at all, have had to kind of choke down as much beef as possible, often that has not been all that much, but some days it is good and I get a solid amount down without problem. Started taking electrolytes and digestive enzymes about 10 days ago. Just now adding probiotics.
Benefits so far: probably about 20 lbs or so down ( about 60 total needed more or less); zero cravings since the beginning and I was always in a state of food obsession and cravings; psoriasis lessoning, fingernails getting stronger; skin less dry, no more flaky lower legs; sleeping fantastic, lots of REM dreamtime; hips way less sore; no more scratchy throat or phlegm; improved gum health, extreme reduction of hemmorhoids.
Difficulties so far: did have a few days of diarrhea; acid stomach many hours after meal; still some bloating; lots of discharge TMI; aversion to food; absolutely devestating lack of energy, and profound weakness.
clearly more good than bad, and some of the worst of the bad is beginning to lighten up, although the energy remains a big problem. Thankfully I have the time and space to just rest and do my best and allow the process to unfold. Still excited about achieving high quality health!
I can hear this in Dr Chaffee voice :) if the meat is not tasting good stop !
I often would eat very little one day and a ton the next sometimes a lot 3 days and then 3 days of barely
for me its more the eat when hungry and eat to satiety and if that is not a lot and you are truly not hungry I am with many that says that is your body saying dont eat :) so I might suggest that simple if not hungry dont eat dont try to force it and see how it goes :)
20 lbs in 34 days is great !
for the energy weak also many will say try electrolytes as carbs need a ton of water meat not so much so you tend to loose a lot of water and not hold it the same so drink that and plenty water I salted to taste but noticed my body wanted more salt which helped ! for sure a mental shift on those little things we have to go through
yeah the trust the process is so easy to say :) until you are rushing to the head and as Joe Rogan said have jet fuel coming out your bum !
but yeah I have no gallbladder so I know the going to the head all to well as I find the balance and still struggle going over !
@@MinimalistCarnivore Thanks so much for your response! This is such an awesome community! The reason i have forced some bits of food down is because the first time I just didn't feel like food, I followed that advice to just not eat. But when I got up the next morning I had a very frightening episode of suddenly being very woozy, weirded out vision and I nearly passed out. thankfully a chair right there. It was several hours before I could get up and walk across the room very carefully. In the last few weeks, the aversion to food has been more often than not... but I'm not risking that response to extended fasting again.
I think different people will have very different responses to such a big demand for change in the body. I mean, I have no idea what this "oxylate dumping" thing is, but I do know about extreme candida die-off, and how it can put you down. Just gotta ride out the storm, I guess.
I actually think it would be interesting to gather testimonies on the different struggles various people have had and the individual processes and needs for getting through them.
LOL! Thank goodness the diarrhea only lasted a couple of days for me! Chao!
YIKES that would be scary
maybe try soft hard boil eggs and just munch a few of those I found that time to peel and eat slowed things down some and was easier to kinda top off when I needed to
Are you on any BP meds? If so, do you check your BP often? Have you had your sodium level checked lately? Having a low BP or low sodium level could cause the dizziness or feeling like passing out. You need to visit your doctor.
Hi Chad. Nice to "meat" you. 😊 New subscriber.
6 years ago I was 247 pounds and dropped to 184 in 6 months on keto. I have since gone up to around 195 give or take a couple. It's due to caving in to carbs.
Well, today is 3 weeks zero carb. I only eat sardines, bacon, clean brats with no corn syrup, ground beef, and homemade beef jerky. Only drink water. For 2 weeks recently I fasted 16-8. I work out hard 6 days per week and jump rope 7 days per week. I am 69 years old, 5' 10". After all that, I stay at around 195, and I believe that's too heavy. And I have left over belly fat I haven't been able to get rid of from being so heavy before.
I believe I should be losing weight and do not understand why I'm not. I know the brats and homemade beef jerky have spices in them which aren't pure carnivore, but it doesn't seem like that would cause weight loss stalling.
Sorry for the novel. Any thoughts on my situation would be appreciated! Thanks!
I do love keto but do know its the carbs or getting dirty that did not work for me :) and really it's hard to do CLEAN keto since it's so temping I feel at least :)
but cool on the start of zero carb!
OH to funny I read brats as bats :) and I was like HUH !
as I said I am 60 now and 5'11" and 178 but of course frame builds etc.. so more just sharing and also been able to maintain that for the last 2.5 years so the shift you mentioned with the caving into carbs I think the carnivore way is more stable :)
I did pretty good on the belly fat still a touch but not to bad on loose skin either :)
I love novels so write away all good I truly love hearing stories
and thanks for the sub !
@@MinimalistCarnivore yep, after five years of losing and feeling great, i started bring back carbs. gained 60 pounds. so i had/have a decision to make. a longer or at least a healthy life, or carbs.
yes the diet is boring, but we are talking about our lifespan.
i choose lifespan, at 62 i have traveled every walk you can think of.
military, around the world, saw every nasty event humans are capable of.
my past is to let me know. what i did not want in my life.
i wanted a long life.
so i did all of the following.
fitness freak, you bet.
six foot blonde, body builder.
spent so much off time, in the gym, should have moved a bed in.
then i stopped, got lazy.
two years to be a overweight eating my life away.
315 pounds.
back to almost ideal weight. folks it will be tough.
you will miss out on family events, you will stick out like a sore thumb.
they will ask why are you, avoiding food like pasta.
just smile, and tell them you are following a diet, that is helping you heal.
they will of course ask what it heals. just say with a smile. MY LIFE.
@@charlielamb4606 loved reading that :)
I do know many do this as an elimination diet
when I ask why would you want to bring it back in what got you here?
its often I miss this or that ?
its like an endless loop and I am OK with doing what makes them happy
and some can reintroduce and keep in control! so not including those folks ;) just to be clear but for many that do gain it back I feel would be best to just leave the old behind and make this the new standard :)
myself included as I KNOW I was over 275 lbs I WILL NOT go back no way!
I also KNOW I can have a single cupcake and not binge BUT why would I want to as I also know I will feel it for a few days post? so just why?
not me but many say this feeling good all day long every day is superior to the moment you eat something last say 5 minutes vs the maybe hours or days of NOT feeling good has to be learned by themselves!
again enjoyed that well said!
these days if someone at an event says OK come on have a whatever why not I just do this stand back and kinda do this hand sweep across me and say look at this NO WAY am I going to eat that I used to and got fat!
if history with them/know them I just do the swipe and say it's why I look like this now!
now friends true friends do not even bother as they are true friends and respect what I do :) as I do them
@@MinimalistCarnivore i am sure we all have been there. your tempted and you give way.
for me it was the food was boring. what i forgot was it prolonged by enjoyment of life.. other than food.
it is currently 2 pm in my city, had some ham and a few eggs at 6 39 am. feel full,
I believe I am in month 4 (did not make note of when I started). I had transitioned from Keto to carnivore so I did not have a lot of the issues many have when going straight into carnivore. First thing that happened was my joint pain was gone and my feet no longer hurt. The wait has been melting off! I do not own a scale so I don't know how much I weigh, but when I saw a doctor about a month ago for an insect bite I came in at less than half a pound over 200. (the nurse said that was probably the weight of my clothes so I was under 200 😉) I had not seen that weight for a good many years!
Thankfully, we had a steer butchered late last year. He wasn't huge, a dairy breed, but having him in the freezer helps a lot! Unfortunately, my husband is stuck in his ways. He has been eating the same way all his life and does not have a weight issue. It would be easier (and cheaper) if I could get him on carnivore like me, but he believes his doctors over me.
congrats :) the under 200 was my goal when I started this :) I am sure you will get under even more as you continue!
I did smile when I read the did not make notes :) sounds like me ! I only remember when I started as it was the new year :)
seems so many of us have gone from keto to carnivore! and like you not too many issues going in
not sure your age? but for me hearing the OH this is getting old get used to it about the joint pains and poor sleep and all we hear about our bodies not working quite as well and now realizing it was so simple to get away from all that !
I feel lied to and cheated about our current health also makes me wonder WHY and does seem to lead back to following the money and just eating meat takes out these HUGE mega-wealthy food companies pushing the stuff in packages that can live on our shelves for a LONG time as being healthy
@@MinimalistCarnivore I am at the age where I am getting constant reminders from the government that I am approaching 65. How rude! (😜) It puts me in a rather difficult position. Living on SS, I'm on a fixed income. I don't have a lot coming in and the government wants to take a good chunk away from me to pay for Medicare "part B" that I won't even use. I opted out of it. I couldn't see the point. As often as I would see a doctor I figured I would just pay out of pocket. (I checked, the price was not that bad for an office visit) My husband is in his 70's and has health issues. But he still won't change his diet because he is afraid of cholesterol.
@@HoneyHollowHomestead OK I did chuckle at that first line and while just hitting the 60 I am starting to get some things like that :)
sorry to hear of the hubby's health hope that can work out maybe he will bend one day seeing you over the next few months and lean in slowly?
interesting about the afraid of cholesterol but it's tough to change that late for some :) after what has been beat into our heads for so long I also had a bit of that dog cocking his head to the strange sound moment :) HUH!
but best wishes for you two :) and hope he does see and get curious :)
my parents are still around my dad is 93 my mom 89/90 they were a little bit like OH he is doing something silly again about what I was doing but OK with it !
my dad has this every day is good not going to change now and I knew to not even ask them to try as they made it this far!
I no longer trust doctors after the v ac vine fiasco.
@@thomasarbec7242 I got the vid after I was in good shape I asked for ivermectin just in case I need it ahaaahahah and got the I am crazy speech :) I then said I only eat meat and yeah the look on the doc was priceless! you can only imagine
think I was 57 then but he said I looked healthy? sounded healthy so get tested?
and did not seem to have any symptoms etc.. I said well I could not taste food or smell :)
one day it felt like I had a good work out not a bad pain but I could just sense my muscles that was my upper body then the next day lower body and that was it smell and taste came back but did test positive so oh well :) I was already OK!
to me just being in superior shape is key to never being sick anymore
no doubt it affected some big time but it does seem those affected had issues and I dare say many were not healthy! it's quite sad when your eyes are opened what you see and realize just how bad it has gotten
Thanks for this I'm ten days in I can quit milk but coffee for me will be difficult
I weigh 345 lbs. Thanks for the inspiration.
HI
Ias I say I did not quit coffee till 2 years in :) and then I noticed the difference
if you can great if not do not worry about it tackle that later might be easier as coffee is so hard to stop and its such a part of our lives as a hard core expresso guy I know it was for me
so I really do not think its a huge deal as you are going to have a LOT of change coming so try in a year if you can't try again the next year :) that is how I look at it but at some point say year 3 stop for 3 months (if you can't earlier) and just see how you feel and when you try it again notice how you feel and then decide if you are OK with it or not :)
and even then I might say try once a year and see if you finally notice it
worse case I say you find you can stop and that is a great feeling of being in control of our food drink intake :)
thanks again and you can do this just keep moving forward you hear the expression progress over perfection just keep it moving day by day :)
I do drink coffee still just with heavy whipping cream, but I'm only a month in. I used to have cheese and eggs but I've cut them out and I feel better.
HI
I think the start just do your best as coffee is tough to kick :) so just enjoy IF you get stalls and things are not moving as well try to stop the cream in the coffee or reduce as an example of changing as we move along the journey
At some point try to stop coffee see how you feel :) and decide to keen enjoying or not
For me was not until 2 years into my carnivore I found coffee was a negative so kept drinking until that time so truly am just day by day and test and evaluate things
I quit eating eggs as I had such bad allergies to them
My recent test now 5 years in I found I can eat them again :) WOW never thought I would be able to do that
Eggs are fine UNLESS you do not feel as good with them so good to try to stop things as you did and see how you feel so good on ya to test and stop the cheese as example for now most likely have quicker results and you can always bring back those items later on and try see how you feel
I do think long term results over years for me and some others just keep getting better :)
Thanks and enjoy and keep at it :)
Did strict keto for 3 1/2 years did very good, went carnivore for 6 months, really liked it but got diverticulitis 3 times, went back to keto.
ya found what works and tested though and now ya know :) so huge congrats on that trying and finding what is truly you !
for me I always have to know for sure !
Hi Chad. Is carnivore diet safe for those type 2 diabetics and taking metformin and under so much stress and have panic disorder. I love your video. Please keep it coming.
thanks and will keep doing em loving this :)
I know so many with T2D reverse cure get rid of whatever is the correct term :)
about the metformin I do not know specific since I am not a doc :)
Dr Chaffee might have a suggestion
also DR Ken Berry would be worth searching his YT channel as I know he has covered it
another newer YT that has lost was 265 now I think he is at 284 or something lbs lost no more diabetes no more blood pressure no more fatty liver is
www.youtube.com/@IntentionalCarnivore
reckon none of us would dare say anything about safe when taking meds but I know many doctors are pro keto carnivore healthy eating and NOT just wanting to keep a patient on meds ! or just not informed diet is why we get it ! and again so many stories of folks NOT having any more diabetes info on Carnivore even Keto :)
hope that helps and so wish you the best if you do get out form your meds post back somewhere sometime my channel and others so more can read hear your story though :)
this has been so life changing for me and so many others !
Plateaued 8 months in carnivore after losing 30+ pounds, but my body was still changing. Stomach was flattening and side handles were shrinking even though my weight barely moved. So yeah scale weight is not the best indicator.
I’ve noticed the same. Weight still the same but less gut and side handles. Lol
YUP, I did like seeing it change even if it went up like you I was getting better I often thought WHY?
some weeks HUGE jumps down other times it just barely moved yet the outwardly was constant change for me I found that fascinating!
August 15 will be my 3 month anniversary. 1st month lost 27 lbs. 2nd about 10. No change at all in the 3rd month. Been OMAD since first week. I am now having to experiment to see why i stalled out.
3 months is HUGE so congrats
my first month was slow so WOW 27 is awesome!
In my 2nd I lost about 20 as I remember and then it was down some but did not worry I also say its more about what % you have left so every month for me kinda went down a bit but the % was still good!
many say it's they under eat as to why they stall! also dairy can slow things down?
for me I did kinda think OH I am going to hurry this along and not eat quite as much and go a touch hungry and that stalled me
the idea being your body says OK I am not getting what I need so lets slow down store some of this we are taking in and not use it now (rough idea)
and really I think it's just individual also!
@MinimalistCarnivore I have been adding dairy (butter and cream) the last few days. I think the ribeye just didn't have enough fat. I had been fluctuating between 217-215 for almost a month. Dropped to 213 this morning. I will see how this goes the next few weeks. I am 6' tall, so I think 180ish is the goal. Hopefully that also means the visceral fat will be very low also.
Yes! Chicken DID NOT satisfy me like beef does!!
I ate 12 legs off Grill the other day!!!!!
Still hungry!!
Beef IS the way!!
LisaB
yeah seems to be more the norm but some still do well with it
Only 2 weeks in & I'm way thinner, head clearer, skin clearing, energy's flew up, sleeping like a baby, eyes brighter & the real beauty is I'm loving the food... Win win win win win WIN 👌
wow awesome at just 2 weeks congrats for sure :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore yip I'm AMAZED, I got out of bed today & the reflection in the mirror actually caught me by surprise, I'm already looking different... Just wow 😮, I do a lot of mountain climbing / hiking, so I suppose I'm breaking down my body, but NOW rebuilding it with the correct fuel.
@@EireFirst2024 cool I want to get into hiking more did a lot of camping and a LOT of bicycle touring and have some pretty nice hammock gear and some other nice gear for smaller treks but my boy is 14 so want to get him more into the ultralight stuff and I actually like sewing gear so want to get more into making my own packs and stuff including my own quilts and so on do have a lot of hammock gear as I said even some nice 950fp down quilts etc.. and maybe about 12 hammocks at this time of various types some basic packs like osprey but the ultralight stuff is really calling me so a huge part of this year is getting in super shape to start doing a lot more with my boy ! so fun to hear about the hiking part and could not for so long :(
@@MinimalistCarnivore you can't beat the outdoors 👌, the 3ful lanshan is a good hiking pole trekking tent 👍👍
@@EireFirst2024 yeah heard of those some as a great tent that is not overly $ I do so much hammock camping and have a few nice setups for that but do want to get a tent for some spots I might go sometimes so that kinda price is more what I am in for :)
might even make my own since I am into sewing my own gear as a fun thing for my boy and I to do
thanks :)
You story is really Inspiring!!! My husband and I just started carnivore: 2 weeks only, I don’t expect a real results at this point, being realistic 😀, we love it so far, we eat red meat, I also cooked chicken and chicken liver couple of times- loved it; but we also eat sea food, like fish,shrimps, scallops, so my question is: do we have to quit eating sea food? And only red meat 🥩, how about chicken? Thank you
congrats :) yeah take the first 3 months and notice the changes as they slowly happen its often a bit of a get going period involved for some even can be 8 weeks or more ;) but the clothing even in that time starts to fit they start to notice other things
so its also good to not just focus on weight but how you feel ;)
Pay attention to how the sea food make you feel. I recently did a 72h Sardine challenge and that was the best I've felt in years, and amazing BG readings and weight dropped off. So I guess for me, sardines are a super carnivore food and now I try to do it at least three days a week.
@@sheryahh1773 thank you! We are eating baked salmon and also salted/ smoked salmon.
I’m not a coffee person so not a problem
Had to quit dairy for now
Only couple weeks in
thanks for sharing
good to have not gotten into the coffee I reckon :)
Strawberry creaam cheese is a wonderful treat just a couple spoonfuls satisfied with under 10 carbs.
thanks :)
the old find what works and makes you happy is key to something we will be doing our whole life
