I admire everyone who can do this and stay with it. I grew up eating bread every day. Potatoes, rice or pasta was a component of our dinner everyday. I was healthy and skinny all of my life until I moved from Germany to the U.S. Within 4 years I gained over 50 lbs and with that I got some health issues. I can tell it’s the food (ingredients) that’s sold here and my lack of walking. Here you can’t walk to the stores like I used to without fearing to get run over. No sidewalks!?! You’ve got to take the car to get to the store safe. Isn’t that crazy? I now cook 99% from scratch, read the ingredient labels carefully, make my own pasta, grow a lot of veggies, mill my own flour, bake my own bread and I lost a lot of weight. I’ve got to work on exercising though. 😊
You know we’re from the same era when ‘grody’ is one of our words used for gross! Tell me you were a teenage girl in the eighty’s without telling me you were a teenage gal in the eighties! Haha! 😘👍
Good for you two! I went meat based carnivore in March. Best thing I ever did. My body is healing, inflammation gone, better sleep, improved skin, anxiety gone, and dropped 60lbs. I encourage everyone to get rid of all the sugar and grains as well. Keep going!
Hi Rachel... so glad you just mentioned about your 15 lb weight loss, I saw a video last week but didnt want to comment you were looking great! As you stated you may not want to share or could have been for medical issues. So I didnt. Stay healthy and keep sharing great ideas for us too.
I hope your viewers are kind... so many "carnivores" are so mean about how "real" you are... like i have seen some folks argue adding salt to your meat and water "isn't carnivore" makes me so mad! I love how you said no refined carbs... carrots are higher...but i still eat them here and there! Keep it up! I'm down 100 pounds and off 10 rx drugs eating mostly meat.. with some veggies and maybe some fruit here and there! ❤
I really enjoyed your video today and would love to see more of what you eat in a day with the new diet change. I think I might be able to get my Hubby to get on board with this so I'm super excited to see more. Hope you both have a great Thanksgiving!! Blessings to you and your family! ❤ Sam
Great video! I've freeze dried organ meat and vegetable greens and powdered it to add to meatloaf, meatballs, casseroles etc for the health benefits. (My husband is not a vegetable lover) I also encapsulated it for myself to take every day. I do the same with beets, turmeric and ginger for blood pressure and cholesterol control. And yes, I grow my own vegetables as much as I can. Blessings to you and the family. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
When my husband and I were eating Keto I would put ground pork rinds in to replace the bread crumbs and it was great. My husband doesn't like pork rinds so I made sure not to tell him until after we had eaten it. He said he wouldn't have guessed that is what I used and he now prefers I make it that way instead of using bread crumbs.
My husband has been eating strictly carnivore for the last 100 days today. Kudos to you, Rachel, for joining Todd for the support! I couldn't do it. I have been thinking about joining him lately though. He won't even taste anything I cook if it has veggies, sugar or carbs in it. His "why" is for health reasons. He has diabetes and has always had a hard time controlling his blood sugar. He hopes to reverse it with this diet. His sugar is starting to come down and he seems to really enjoy the diet now, except for the times that I have something he really likes and he will take a good whiff of whatever it is. 😂 I am also diabetic but my sugar is well controlled on Mounjaro shots. I did lose 55 pounds on the shots but now the shot is not working for weight loss and I've started to gain a few pounds (about 15) because I'm not able to lose weight on diet alone. Well, I tried strict keto for about two years and only lost about 20 pounds. The only recipe that I have to cook him something is a quiche without the crust. It is sooo good! Keep up the good work and for encouraging me to join the hubster! ❤
I just made meatloaf last night. I used my freeze dried bell peppers, freeze dried onions, freeze dried garlic. Plus our home grown canned green beans & corn I cut off the cob & canned. My husband & I were pleasantly surprised that the corn still had a little crunch to it. I love having our working pantry. Knowing exactly what is in my jars is so satisfying. 🙏♥️
loved your what's for dinner. i haven't tried that yet, but i definitely see lots of people having positive results. and just like hearing you two chat to the camera with us!
I did a carnivore challenge Jan 2024 to jump start weightloss. My BP had been spiking as well and I knew keto/carnivore could bring it down. Id just built out my garden with 5 tall raised beds a few months before so my husband thought I was crazy. LOL. Ive lost about 45 lbs with 40 more to go. I made a deal with myself that "if I grow it, I can eat it." So thats why I still have strawberry plants, fruit trees, blackberry plants, etc. I figure eating some fruit during the brief harvest season is better than constantly eating sugar or eating a steady stream of fruit from the grocery store.
Love this video! The calming way to show how and why u r eating this way. I have done that way of eating for years and it works great, but I do go off of it and hate the results! It's hard to get back on track so this video is great content to help me feel like I have a community to encourage me, thanks!!
I use crushed pork rinds (pork panko) instead of almond flour for my meatloaf. No carbs and additional protein. I’ve been keto/ketovore for years to control my diabetes.
Hey. You should have us pick your next. What's for dinner. Meal. We put up delicious meals and you choose which one you want to eat. It will get the subscribers involved and make sure we watch each video. So in turn. You make a higher UA-cam profit. If the recipes don't meet your full expectation based upon your current diet plan food life style. Then you can make alterations to the meal. Yayyyy she picked my meal choice. Woohooooo. Thanks Devie. 😁
Todd, my husband had a spinal fusion at L5/S1. It completely changed his life for the better. He woke up from that surgery without sciatic pain, numbness, all of the issues. He was so happy even though it was a longer recovery.
I make pizza crust from sweet potato flour. I ate paleo( no gluten, no dairy, no grains) for years. Then my Mom moved in and though still Gf I began eating refined sweets and drinking sweet tea. Slowly wea re eating better. I grew a huge garden and preserved a lot. If you don't have sweets in house, no temptation. Do enjoy fruit though, it doesnt replace chocolate but it's so good for us.
WOW!! Love to see this. I have been looking into this diet 'carnivore' and 'animal based' for awhile... but I've been worried because as a gardener and canner for years, how could i give that up? But I would really love to see health and joint and nerve pain go away. I love watching how you two are doing this. Please keep going!! I would love to see how you are incorporating this.
Good for you Rachel to join him. My husband switched to the carnivore diet a few months ago, and even though I see how much better he feels, I’m struggling to get onboard. Ha.
I've been carnivore since April and I don't see myself going back ........ What you made is Keto since it contains onion, carrot, and most especially almond flour. You both look great!
***30-60-90 is the rule when starting carnivore 30 days, if you make it go to 60 and so on.... Only products from an animal nose to tail. Be careful with any seasonings because they will contain sugars. Also, being an avid canner this WOE is a bummer because you pretty much rule out 90% of what you can. My goal is to be ketovore consuming mostly meat and animal fat plus a few veg and avocado.
I did weight watchers many years ago and Loved it, it taught me that you can eat anything but in moderation and many small meals a day to keep your motor going and burning those carbs and calories. I love my shredded carrots and zucchini and diced tomatoes along with lots of onion in my meat loaf, shredded cheese would be good in it also. I would have to have green beans on the side at least or asparagus also would be a good side with it something besides just the meat. Todd take turmeric with the curcumin and peperino, it helps with inflammation, plus many other natural ways to go about it, I understand back pain from a horrible car accident it left me with really bad back problems and I go to pain clinic for injections in my sciatica joint because it is really bad as well as a bulging disc in my upper back so it really sucks, I've also been looking into wild lettuce as a natural pain reliever. I think the book is called Backyard Medicine.
I definitely noticed that you have lost some weight. I really appreciate how you are approaching your diet changes. Not hard core but focused. My husband and I have been keto low carb for a couple of years now and we feel so much better. We are thinking of adding back in einkorn sourdough bread on occasion. Have you baked with einkorn. Love your channel!
I have some osteoarthritis, I'm trying collagen powder can be found at costco and it's grass fed, non gmo as well. As we age our collagen gets diminished. I just m ade some collagen keto gummies. Looks yummy.
Todd- Absorbine Veterinary Liniment Gel (yes, for horses) works really well for your back issue. I have same L5 S1. I use it on my knees too when they get stiff and achy. Thank u both for continuing to share :)
There is a sausage crust that a Chicago pizza house makes. The keto twins made it and it looked amazing. Very filling as I have head. My a1c numbers were bad and decided to go low carb nothing new to me, but all on board now. After about 6 weeks the numbers went to normal. Diabetes is in my family line. So it was something I had to do for myself. The research on how wheat and flour affect your body is surprising. I wish you both the best.
Neither of you looked like you needed to lose weight, but the best side effect is lowering the inflammation. Oooh cast iron loaf pan, I can’t wait to see how the meatloaf turns out!
I was Keto for a while, it is very difficult cooking 2 separate meals each day when you are away from the house for 10 hours a day. I will tell you, Pork Rinds makes an amazing breading on fried chicken. :-)
Doc wants me eating like that and fasting from 6 pm until 11 am. It's hard to do. I have reduced my carbs but supper with no starch, for me, is near impossible.
Do you think cutting breads, etc… and eating meats and fresh veg work be as effective? I see some going from breads, rice, oats etc…then straight carnivore without even trying meat and veg first. I cannot imagine limited veg is good for you. But you two look great!! I get very tired with just meat, cheese eggs and kind of stay nauseated. We have to have veg and some fruit. If we eat gluten or corn products inflammation and pain come back immediately. Processed foods as well. Symptoms return.
That's awesome! I just got 2 cast iron bread pans too 😊 love them! Something I would do next time is instead of using ketchup in the meatloaf, I would use half the sloppy Joe mix in the meatloaf and half on top, that way I don't have extra sauce to use up...sounds yummy 😋 ❤ Also I'm curious how you feel on freshly milled flour bread? I can tell a difference because I was gluten sensitive, but i can handle freshly milled breads/grains.
LOL so funny to hear you say about being angry that you 'cant' have the food you loved anymore - i totally got the same thing but boy do i ever feel grateful that I stuck with it .. I have just been on a month long cruise and despiite all the temptation it was really easy to not overindulge in the wrong things. I did gain a couple of kilos back because HEY that Black Forest Gateau was DELICIOUS!!!! But back to normal now and enjoying normality :) xxx
I’m sorry if you’ve mentioned this before, but why did you cut out veggies at first? I am really interested in this type of diet and only because you shared how it has helped with arthritis and inflammation. Thank you for sharing the “why”!
I try to stick to the 80/20 rule. I follow the plan set by my dietitian 80% of the time. 20% of the time, I enjoy a date night, GNO, or family meal without guilt. I am down 50 lbs this year. We are also in the process of trying to get our kids off of red dyes.
Dinner looked amazing! Dark greens are so good for you would you be opposed to dark green veggie salads with your dinner with just various oil and vinegar dressings? I have wanted to let go of white foods (rice, flour, sugar) for years, its so hard if only one of you do it. Nice job guys!
Also, perhaps you already know this, but electrolytes are extremely important if you're eating low carb enough that you're in ketosis. If you have headaches, low energy, heavy-feeling legs, muscle twitches, heart palpitations, foggy brain, blurred vision, etc., those are all symptoms of low electrolytes. Sodium in particular.😊
I often go for a week after eating all my bread before I make another loaf of bread. I'm not much of a bread person, and if I eat carbs in the form of flour, I often make sourdough quickbread or sourdough soft tacos. That seems to do it for me. I have very little craving for sugar, and if I make something baked, I usually put 50-60% of the sugar called for in the recipe, not out of being an ascetic, but literally because it doesn't taste good to me with the amount of sugar called for. I guess your taste really does change! I love fresh veggies and fruit, so probably wouldn't do well on an all-meat diet, but I do really like meat, too. Just not all the sugary, processed food.🌻🥀
Hi Rachel Got to say we love a good meat loaf We haven't had one in a while So thanks for sharing urs I may just have one This week I love it with cabage or collie
Great idea to add in organs! Since I went carnivore I've been planning on asking for the organs to be tossed in with my ground beef next time I purchase a cow. 🥩👌
I absolutely love meat, I could live on steak daily however I have kidney issues and proteins in the form of red meat are so hard on the kidneys but I’m sure everyone is aware of this. I was not made to be a vegetarian .
I don’t know if you’d tried pork rinds in the meatloaf? I usually add grounded pork rinds to my meat loaf I think it gives it softer texture and more of a moist meatloaf.
I started doing this about a week ago and lasted a couple of days because I felt guilty not eating the food I have in my pantry from the garden and the flours/rice in my buckets. I’m not sure what to do with my pantry being so full just coming out of harvest time.
I used to make meatloaf all the time half turkey and half beef with onions and peppers in it and covered with BBQ sauce. Haven't made it since I moved to TX 11 years ago. My son and daughter in law don't like meatloaf, and I can't see making an entire meatloaf for myself. Out of the meals you showed, none were seafood. Is that restricted? I would think it would be okay.
Do you store your carrots in a jar with water and in the refrigrator? If so why? Do they last longer? What was that device that was placed in the plastic tub?

We've been carnivores for over a year and I've healed so many issues and was able to balance hormones and will be welcoming our miracle baby any day!
You know we’re from the same era when ‘grody’ is one of our words used for gross! Tell me you were a teenage girl in the eighty’s without telling me you were a teenage gal in the eighties! Haha! 😘👍
😂 so true
Haha lol, I also used the word prissy the other day and thought this word needs to come back
I was a teenage girl in the 70's and we said grody!
Yes! “Grody to the max!” Lol!
Born in the 80s and I say grody, prissy, groovy, nifty, and a whole slew of other slang from back in the day.
Good for you two! I went meat based carnivore in March. Best thing I ever did. My body is healing, inflammation gone, better sleep, improved skin, anxiety gone, and dropped 60lbs. I encourage everyone to get rid of all the sugar and grains as well. Keep going!

My folks are in their 70’s and have been carnivore for nearly 2 years. They feel great!
I hope your viewers are kind... so many "carnivores" are so mean about how "real" you are... like i have seen some folks argue adding salt to your meat and water "isn't carnivore" makes me so mad! I love how you said no refined carbs... carrots are higher...but i still eat them here and there! Keep it up! I'm down 100 pounds and off 10 rx drugs eating mostly meat.. with some veggies and maybe some fruit here and there! ❤
Congratulations!
Stick with it! I started in May too, plantar fascitis gone in about 5 days! Wish i had heard of this year's ago. Thanks for the video!
I really enjoyed your video today and would love to see more of what you eat in a day with the new diet change. I think I might be able to get my Hubby to get on board with this so I'm super excited to see more. Hope you both have a great Thanksgiving!! Blessings to you and your family! ❤ Sam

I'm 2 months into a celiac diagnosis thats a great idea! I think I could also try oats😊
Great idea for the pork rinds
@@baglady216, lots of oats have been cross contaminated with gluten, so make sure to get them that specify certified gluten free.

I was strict keto for 3 years. I fell off the wagon, this feels very encouraging to get back on board and not feel alone! Thanks for opening up!
Yay! A what’s for dinner video!!!
loved your what's for dinner. i haven't tried that yet, but i definitely see lots of people having positive results. and just like hearing you two chat to the camera with us!
so happy you guys are heading the way of keto/carnivore.
I did a carnivore challenge Jan 2024 to jump start weightloss. My BP had been spiking as well and I knew keto/carnivore could bring it down.

"if I grow it, I can eat it." I like that ♥
Rachael, Todd must share his recipes for the different meats! They look very yummy 😋

Love your channel!
With this big dietary change, are you going to even have a garden this coming garden season?
Yup - just like we did this season.
I LOVED my grandmother’s meatloaf and Sloppy Joe’s!
I would ❤ a cookbook from Rachel and Todd! That would be awesome! 😊😊
I have some osteoarthritis, I'm trying collagen powder can be found at costco and it's grass fed, non gmo as well. As we age our collagen gets diminished. I just m ade some collagen keto gummies. Looks yummy.
Man, you and Acre Homestead are always wearing white shirts! I am way too much up a klutz for that. I’d have stains all over lol.
When I’m in a hurry I put it on a sheet pan and make a ring with the meatloaf…takes half the time!!!
Love you both and thank you for the update
glad you are feeling better..
Pork rinds are zero carb and can be used in place of tortilla chips, potato chips, or even crushed and use as a breading
Super excited for the new eating style. I'm diabetic so I avoid carbs.
Todd- Absorbine Veterinary Liniment Gel (yes, for horses) works really well for your back issue. I have same L5 S1. I use it on my knees too when they get stiff and achy. Thank u both for continuing to share :)
CONGRATULATIONS you guys. You are looking great! 🥰
I gave up potatoes and my arthritis +++ improved. Good for you. Keep inspiring us please!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Been eating carnivore for awhile. Not perfect by no means but trying our best and seeing some positive things happening!! Enjoyed the video.
There is a sausage crust that a Chicago pizza house makes. The keto twins made it and it looked amazing. Very filling as I have head. My a1c numbers were bad and decided to go low carb nothing new to me, but all on board now. After about 6 weeks the numbers went to normal. Diabetes is in my family line. So it was something I had to do for myself. The research on how wheat and flour affect your body is surprising. I wish you both the best.
I can't imagine sticking to this for very long. But I know lots of people do.
Neither of you looked like you needed to lose weight, but the best side effect is lowering the inflammation. Oooh cast iron loaf pan, I can’t wait to see how the meatloaf turns out!
I was told this by a back doctor. 90% of people with back problems is in the L5 S1 area. I'm told walking helps.
I have been carnivore for about a year, list approximately 60 lbs. I use Italian pork panko for my binder with eggs
I was Keto for a while, it is very difficult cooking 2 separate meals each day when you are away from the house for 10 hours a day. I will tell you, Pork Rinds makes an amazing breading on fried chicken. :-)
We love meatloaf as well. You can really make it so many ways ❤
Looking great!!
I’ve never thought about organ meat in my meatloaf.
We use the carb smart tortillas shells for thin pizza crust, not bad.
Whoo can't wait for more recipes
9:43 cute weewee (puppy) on the floor waiting to see if any meat drops on the floor ❤. FYI that’s what we call our neighbors dachshund. 😊
Doc wants me eating like that and fasting from 6 pm until 11 am. It's hard to do. I have reduced my carbs but supper with no starch, for me, is near impossible.
Interesting, glad you're feeling better. How will this change how you plan your gardens for next year?
Do you think cutting breads, etc… and eating meats and fresh veg work be as effective?
I see some going from breads, rice, oats etc…then straight carnivore without even trying meat and veg first. I cannot imagine limited veg is good for you.
But you two look great!!
I get very tired with just meat, cheese eggs and kind of stay nauseated. We have to have veg and some fruit.
If we eat gluten or corn products inflammation and pain come back immediately. Processed foods as well. Symptoms return.
That's awesome! I just got 2 cast iron bread pans too 😊 love them! Something I would do next time is instead of using ketchup in the meatloaf, I would use half the sloppy Joe mix in the meatloaf and half on top, that way I don't have extra sauce to use up...sounds yummy 😋 ❤ Also I'm curious how you feel on freshly milled flour bread? I can tell a difference because I was gluten sensitive, but i can handle freshly milled breads/grains.
I use pork rinds for the binding. They sell them in the bread crumb isle. My hubby likes it better than the bread crumbs.
i'd be curious to what you eat for breakfast. and how you make those devil eggs too!
Rachel usually doesn't have breakfast. I usually have lunch meat, sausage or bacon
Thanks Rachel 😊
Your a good sport Rachael!
Doggy wants in!
LOL so funny to hear you say about being angry that you 'cant' have the food you loved anymore - i totally got the same thing but boy do i ever feel grateful that I stuck with it .. I have just been on a month long cruise and despiite all the temptation it was really easy to not overindulge in the wrong things. I did gain a couple of kilos back because HEY that Black Forest Gateau was DELICIOUS!!!! But back to normal now and enjoying normality :) xxx

Im going to cut bread and potatoes out of my diet, thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Interested in more menus 😊
I often go for a week after eating all my bread before I make another loaf of bread. I'm not much of a bread person, and if I eat carbs in the form of flour, I often make sourdough quickbread or sourdough soft tacos. That seems to do it for me. I have very little craving for sugar, and if I make something baked, I usually put 50-60% of the sugar called for in the recipe, not out of being an ascetic, but literally because it doesn't taste good to me with the amount of sugar called for. I guess your taste really does change! I love fresh veggies and fruit, so probably wouldn't do well on an all-meat diet, but I do really like meat, too. Just not all the sugary, processed food.🌻🥀
Hi Rachel
Got to say we love a good meat loaf
We haven't had one in a while
So thanks for sharing urs
I may just have one
This week
I love it with cabage or collie
We had meatloaf today😊
I went carnivore for one week then slid back into more of a keto diet… All my horrible eczema of 24 years cleared up in one week!
♥
I think this diet choice is wonderful. I’m also curious about how you will use your stock of canned veggies ?
Great idea to add in organs! Since I went carnivore I've been planning on asking for the organs to be tossed in with my ground beef next time I purchase a cow. 🥩👌
I absolutely love meat, I could live on steak daily however I have kidney issues and proteins in the form of red meat are so hard on the kidneys but I’m sure everyone is aware of this. I was not made to be a vegetarian .
I mix mine with barbecue sauce in it and my husband loves it.
meatloaf looks great. beards looking awesome..
I’m with Rachel, the anger of no pasta… but I know with our family less gluten is know necessary…
Make pizza crust with pork rinds, mozzarella cheese, and eggs. Really yummy😊18:55
I don’t know if you’d tried pork rinds in the meatloaf?
I usually add grounded pork rinds to my meat loaf I think it gives it softer texture and more of a moist meatloaf.
I started doing this about a week ago and lasted a couple of days because I felt guilty not eating the food I have in my pantry from the garden and the flours/rice in my buckets. I’m not sure what to do with my pantry being so full just coming out of harvest time.
Rachel! I love those jeans you have on. Any idea what brand they are, or where you got them?
I used to make meatloaf all the time half turkey and half beef with onions and peppers in it and covered with BBQ sauce. Haven't made it since I moved to TX 11 years ago. My son and daughter in law don't like meatloaf, and I can't see making an entire meatloaf for myself. Out of the meals you showed, none were seafood. Is that restricted? I would think it would be okay.
You could make mini meat loaves in a muffin tin and freeze them after they've cooked.
@@pamelameyer5371 Interesting.
Make meat balls instead. Same ingredients 😊
Sorry leave out organs but otherwise I make meatloaf with chicken. Turkey and beef.
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing
❤❤
We are carnivores but strictly only eat beef.
Many folks freeze dry organ meats as dog treats.
How funny. I decided to change my diet to paleo ish too, just today. NO SUGARS at all, and I never ate much anyways.
Ever tried a chicken crust pizza? Its really good and I love it since im gluten-free:)
Do you store your carrots in a jar with water and in the refrigrator? If so why? Do they last longer? What was that device that was placed in the plastic tub?
A sous video machine, it was from this video - which explains it a bit ua-cam.com/video/_yS9rXy8AIM/v-deo.htmlsi=33t6hjhhjhKZaSQe
Did you give up wine and hard seltzer’s with the new diet as well?
Nope
