I never get tired of steak! What I did get tired of: Being bloated Being weak Arthritis Joint pain Those are all long gone now Carnivore is the optimal human diet 💪
I am glad the diet worked out for you,I really am. My 6th month carnivore. But I'm not gonna lie to you. I do miss some of the foods like tuna fish. I'm not gonna lie.I do miss it..
I’ve been carnivore for several years. I am often asked if I’m tempted to eat carbs. I respond that I know how carbs make me feel. I don’t eat carbs for the same reason I don’t stick my hand on a hot stove! I know it’s going to hurt. 😏
I was trying to explain that to my wife. Beef is amazing. Never gets old - totally wasn’t expecting my brain to change like that. I would have said the same thing a year ago. Variety isn’t good if it’s a variety of human waste you’re choosing from.
The reason people think carnivores should get bored or tired of what they eat is due to them eating the standard American diet. They have no other reference. SAD doesn't satiate you like meat only, it bloats you, gives you inflammation, and makes you sick. They constantly want to eat something different because their body is not being fed what it needs. People who eat carnivore get what the body needs every time. Therefore we can eat the same thing every day when we are truly hungry and not get bored of it. Satiety is the key. If you are not reaching satiety when you eat then you are eating the wrong thing. Remember bloating may make you think you are full but that is not satiety.
As a Truth-Realized Carnivore, I now live an incredibly simple life and, at 63, I'm healthier and happier now than, perhaps, any other time in my life. The Proper Human Diet and The Natural State of Consciousness. It's everyone's birthright.
Been really struggling because of stress. Makes me crave like crazy. I was putting up the family's leftover spaghetti last night and I wanted to eat just one bite. I just kept talking myself out of it. I had to keep reminding myself the only reason I'm surviving this stress is because of carnivore. It sucks living with SAD folks! Lol
@ uhhh. That’s a carb. Lol. But yes I understand the sentiment. I tried dark chocolate because it was supposed to be better. The oxalates tore me up. Just eat 109% beef salt and water for 30 days. No chicken no pork no snack bs. And you will never regret it
Born in 78, grew up "free range" in the 80s and early 90s. A pack of kids roamed the neighborhood-played outside, drank from hoses, knocked on doors to see if people were home. We only got bored on rainy days. Didn't have computers or the internet, and it didn't matter. I never felt I was missing out on anything. I don't get bored eating simply. Some might. Best regards
I love this perspective! I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s. We lived a modest lifestyle and I never remember “going out to eat”. That was a luxury my family just couldn’t afford-we ate 3 meals a day AT HOME TOGETHER. Yet now, it seems our entire social structure and norms revolve around food. I’m happy to start changing that …. in our family at least. This video was great. I needed this perspective!
Grew up in the seventies. Played baseball, basketball, football and Army with my friends. My middle class family always had plenty of meat, eggs & milk on hand. Soda pop & snacking was kept to a minimum. Was the tallest kid in my class.
Doc, I've been following you on social media since 2017. I remember how early on, many of your posts about the carnivore diet were rebutting arguments like this. The one that really clicked for me was the idea that you should get your entertainment from somewhere other than the food you eat. Carnivore or not, it's a great reminder to ask yourself about the purpose behind eating. The other good analogy, similar to what you said in this video, is to realize that your car consumes the same gas every day and never suffers due to lack of variety. Some people might say that that's not a good anaolgy because people have desires and cars don't, but the underlying point is that the purpose of food is fuel. So like a car, we should be concerned first with how food fuels our function instead of how food can stimulate our attention.
My main concern is how to survive all of these financial and political crisis, especially in light of the US political power scuffle. The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance.
I started with as low as $12,000 actually because it was my first time and it ended up being profitable, She is a great personality in the States and she's so intelligent.
I want variety occasionally, but 90% I think about what I want and then ask myself if it's better than the steak I make. It's not, so I just eat another steak. I eat out maybe a couple times a month and it's almost always getting together with people. Been this way for years now.
Most people don't realize what creates true happiness. true happiness is created through relationships. Spending time with friends and family is where true happiness lies. If you don' believe that just imagine doing whatever you think brings you true happiness. Then think about doing that with family or friends and see which you would prefer !
GenX here. Growing up in the 80's. I grew up with early computers, Pong, and Atari. Hell, i don't miss any of the previous foods, but i am addicted to screens... That's what they do to you... Food? That's discipline in the beginning, then it just becomes habbit... Your taste buds change... And the things you used to eat... Start to taste noxious....
For someone who had EDs for 10years, mainly bulímia....the few simple things I eat on the carnivore diet means food freedom for mé. The owerwhelming number of options of food like substances there are made my ED worst that if I didnt had so many options. Now I have peace knowing exactly what im going to buy, not having to think about the hundreds of "healthy" options trying to put together a healthy meal with milion ingredients. Hell no! . Im not doing that again. Anyone who thinks that carnivore is boring has probably never felt true hunger in their life. And when you get to the stage of your life when you realize that sugar addiction is real and it is causing EVERY other issue in your life, you might be willing to give this a try. There is life with sugar and diseases. Or there is the other side - sugar and carb free when you start feeling like a superhuman everyday, touching your potential. ❤ love carnivore forever
@@TeresaSvk Hi there. 99% carnivore here. I eat grass fed beef and lamb, canned sardines in water, and a tablespoon of sauerkraut and kimchi each day. Prior to that I ate a very 'whole' plant diet including one year fully vegan. Gradually healing, including oxalate dumping. I fortunate that here in New Zealand all our ruminate meat is 100% grass fed. What about you, what does your average weekly diet consist of? Regards Glenn
@@GlennMarshallnz Hi Glenn. All grass fed beef? Wow, you are blessed. I never even tried it, lol. Here in Slovakia the meat is more expensive than in the USA for example and I have to look for deals, but its double. I usually make ground beef patties, chicken wings, sometimes ribeye, meatballs with cheesse and Mária Emmerich steak sauce with chicken to add more fat. Cotagge cheese if I want to eat at work, and eggs ofc everymorning. Chesse I eat butni try to buy blue chesse or hard cheeses, and black coffee. The reward is exponentialy greater than the cost so Im blessed too, to afford meat everyday now. I grew up on the poor side, parents did all they could to provide but with 6 kids, our diet was mosty bread and plants....it wasnt all bad, some grown at home, fresh milk from the neighbour and such, but meat was once a week thing. So now I am so blessed to have it everyday. I Wonder about oxalate dumping, because I havent noticed anything in myself yet. I was on and off carnivore past 2 years, but this year I am staying on it 100%. But I was never vegan. How long after you started carnivore did you notice oxalate dumping and what did it look like for you? The sauerkraut and kimchi seems interesting. Why do you include that? Just because you like it or any other health reason? :)
I was born 1950 - there wasn’t much we were a poor family - and I was happy. I developed well and did well in life . Not much in the way of sweets back then - so I never developed a taste for it - just the odd little bit . Carnivore now ( 5years ) and feel young again ❤
Thanks for posting this. I'm 71, grew up poor but we ate carbs, bread, cereal, potatoes and dessert always desert. There was a sugar bowl on the table that I had unfettered access to. I was given canned milk and cornsyrup from birth as my mother did not breast feed. It ruined my life and I did not do well. I discovered low-carb and I improved a lot but carnivore is a game changer. For the first time in my life I think I might know what a proper human feels like.
Dr Baker we love your short videos which are always on point. We’re just getting started with full-on carnivore but we have already discovered a vast variety of ways to enjoy meat. Braised Jerky Grilled Stewed Lamb Beef Fish Butter Eggs Endless! We will NEVER get tired of that standing rib roast recipe of yours. We could that everyday
As much as I like to eat, I actually consider food an inconvenience. Any time spent buying, preparing, cooking, eating and post meal cleanup related to food is time out of my day that I can't do other things that provide me with so much more satisfaction. The carnivore diet is about as simple as it gets. Buying it is simple as is the preparation. Cooking is straight forward and invariably involves 1 pot/pan or no pot if I barbeque, making cleanup a snap. So much more of my day is freed up for other things that I personally find more rewarding.
I was born in 1968. My dad threw out the TV when I was 3, and so I have some really happy childhood memories: climbing trees, playing outside with my 5 younger siblings, 3 camping trips every summer, our dog from the pound gave birth to a litter of puppies, and I was always reading a book or helping my mom cook and clean, or making cookies. My life is all about organic gardening and seed-saving these days. I've been keto since April 2024, and I did 40 days of carnivore. I'm still exploring my new diet, new recipes, and also fasting. I tested as having a sensitivity to dairy, but Dr Steven Gundry's vids are causing me to consider trying dairy again. I would love if you made a vid about dairy.
Born when FDR was president and all we had was radio and no car till I was in junior high. We ate pretty much everything: potato chips, soft drinks with sugar, cookies and the occasional pork chop. Nobody complained about their health and a fat man was a 200 pounder. If you are seeking health, you are looking in the wrong place.
As someone who's still omnivore (I'm Italian in Italy), I don't understand how anybody could ever grow bored of beef. Different cuts, different cooking methods, beef itself gives you so much variety. I just don't get it. Beef is so delicious and satisfying.
For many people food is an addiction (carbs) and a source of entertainment. Bored? Have a snack. It's difficult for them to imagine just eating for nutrition and satiety. It's the same process as breaking all addictions with freedom and well being on the other end, but if you aren't even aware it's a crutch and a weakness it's almost impossible to accept.
Agreed. I was born in '65. We would fly kites, ride bicycles 5-10 away from home, went fishing, played baseball on school yard ( not organized sports, but go by friends house and ask them if they want to play 500 on the school yard). In Texas, we ate a lot of beef, chicken, pork, eggs, fish. I'm so glad I grew up before computers and cell phones. Even today, I will go hikng and leave the phone at home.
I'm 68 yo and been carnivore/ketovore for 18 months. I will occasionally eat vegetables when I go out to eat. But as a carnivore, it's hard to eat out because you can taste the seed oils they cook in which are awful, and you don't get your moneys worth. You won't find any vegetables or fruits in my refrigerator. But I do have variety with different kinds of meat and seafood. So lack of variety is not an issue. Though I try to limit it, i do also have dairy. My cheat occasionally is chocolate.
No I don't miss it at all.... I have tried everything, it was good. But all carnivore is better! Just had 4 eggs, 5 slices of bacon and 5 slices of cheese and I eat that about every afternoon and can't see myself eating something other. I can run/walk and exercise in my 40's like I couldn't in my 30s from eating all that other garbage. I find other ways to eat carnivore from the various recipes that are out there and they are sooooo freaking good!!! I feel pure!! Not poisoned!!
Born in 1951, I was almost a teenager before we got a STEREO record changer. I played Johney Horton's "Sink the Bismark" so many times that my father threatened to destroy the 45 with a 45. In HS I bought our first color TV, (used, at the auction where I worked), with money I earned at $1.50/hr.
Well said. I have been strict Carnivore for almost 15 months. I hear so many people talk about what I’m missing out on. I wouldn’t trade how I feel just for the taste of something else. Just like you wouldn’t pour soda in your gas tank of your car.
@@gemprodj in terms of your LdL cholesterol. If you eat a carnivore diet then having to take drugs to manage is is inevitable. But drs usually just suggest a healthy diet to remedy it. Which is what drives it. For reference, Dr Bakers is horrific. Medically classified as ‘dangerous’. But he doesn’t talk about it much.
Variety: NY Strip, Rib Eye, Filet, Ground, Sausage, Tomahawk, Brisket, Bacon, Smoked, Pulled, Chuck, Tartar. Beef, Bison, Lamb, Pork , Chicken, Turkey, Goose, Duck, Alligator, Venison, Elk, Moose, Bear. That's just for starters (i.e. seafood). AND, you should see what meat they eat in Peru...
I finally used this route to get to where I am supposed to be. Eat to live, not live to eat. This has worked for me and I have maintained my weight for nearly two years for the very first time in my life. I have always been good at losing weight but maintenance has been another story. I was usually able to maintain any loss for about two weeks and that was white-knuckling it. I know this way of eating isn't for everyone but it has worked for me. Luckily I enjoy it which helps as well.
I love carnivore! I’m an outdoorsman and the ONLY THING I STRUGGLE WITH is how I could fry fish carnivore style! I have a freezer full of Crappie, Flounder, Catfish, Bass and Bream filets that I would like to eat. Been on carnivore for 4 months. Went from 240 to 208lbs and still dropping Don’t want to mess my progress up with fried fish! Oh I’m 48 and big fan, ever since your Joe Rogan episode Thank you Dr.Baker!
I lived without it because I didn’t have a choice. It did not exist. That being said, I do not get bored eating the same things everyday. Good thing these things like cell phones, TH-cam and social media exist or I would not no you exist and it would be considerably harder for you to help people. Lucky for me I discovered this way of eating in 1999 before all this stuff was mainstream. Unfortunately, the information I learned later from you and others wasn’t there to push me towards helping my son eat this way when he was young and having issues that could of at least been helped by diet.
I agree with the notion that one doesn't need variety to be happy -- it's an entirely individual call -- but the notion that variety didn't exist in the 70s (when I grew up, too) and prior is just patently false. Just one single example, cheese has existed for thousands upon thousands of years. Multiply that out by all ancient foods and it's clear that variety on food is as old as civilization itself.
My biggest desire for variety is that I would like to try the variation on life that doesn't involve my metabolic disfunctions. I wish I had been told in the 1970s to avoid carbs. What a difference it would have made in improving my life and health!
Exactly how i think If you have more energy, poop less, cook less and isn't suffering from bloating, brain fog and other conditions, you have more lifetime In a way it's life extension
You're right, eating is just a fraction of your life. Or it should be, but many of the people saying these things actually spend many HOURS a day just eating, and it shows.
Born in ‘70. Grew up always outside playing. Carnivore is very simplistic for me, and not boring. Every bite of the steak, meat, eggs, butter, whatever animal based food I’m consuming at the time, I envision the entire food item being assimilated into my organs, cells, muscles, and tissue, none of it being wasted.
Bored? How can anyone be bored with eating meat? I eat pretty much only beef, butter, bacon, and eggs and it's great! Don't need any of that mouth pleasure, I have real time and pleasure doing whatever I want not being tied to food. Also good health and brain power to enjoy those activities.
Shawn I did carnivore for 3 months. I started getting heart palpitations. I train hard so it's probably low electrolytes. I also found it was very limiting socially. If you are at other people's home it's hard to eat all meat. I don't eat out a lot but once in a while I find myself needing a meal on the road. I also found I was not losing weight as quickly as other times when I just reduced calories. I was tracking and found calorie to calorie it's not as good as other diets I have done. All in all I wasn't impressed.
Wow, carnivore helped me get rid of my heart palpitations, and IBS, joint pain and more. No social eating would make me take any of those back on. But that’s why it’s best to do an experiment to find out what is best for you, n=1. Everyone has a different background and goals. I wish the best to you!
If anyone gets bored of beef, eggs, bacon, chicken, etc., then they just don't now how to cook :) If you get cravings for things that aren't good for you then just don't buy those things! Boom problem solved.
Who wants to live to be 100, if they can't move for pain, and the medications you need, takes up a whole meal, and you have to stick yourself with needles several times every single day? I sure as hell don't - I'm 60 now, and if my health gets worse than it is now, i don't even want to reach 80. Carnivore is my last resort.

after john mcdougall, big plant-based diet guru (author of the bestselling 'the starch solution') died right after his 77th birthday last yr, it pretty much put to rest the longevity premise. not that some starch diet peeps dont live longer than 77 but the STRENGTH factor one gets from meat, dairy, egg centric diet is so much more appealing. plus, plants were heirloom strain back in the 1960's. no bt corn or genespliced garbage. gotta b so careful where u source food these days!

@ shall we see where he is in a few years time? He’s a guy who has been ‘carnivore’ for a few years. His training etc was all in place well before he decided to develop an eating disorder to get attention on the internet. His health has been in steady decline since then. Which is well documented in his bloodwork which he talks about. You are all just too dumb to get it.
Variety is the spice of life. Everything in moderation. Eat a balanced diet. You need plants and fibre. Vegan is proper human behavior. Spot all the mistakes above. All born of marketing. Veganism wouldn't exist without the marketing.
I never get tired of steak!
What I did get tired of:
Being bloated
Being weak
Arthritis
Joint pain
Those are all long gone now
Carnivore is the optimal human diet 💪
I am glad the diet worked out for you,I really am.
My 6th month carnivore.
But I'm not gonna lie to you. I do miss some of the foods like tuna fish. I'm not gonna lie.I do miss it..
I’ve been carnivore for several years. I am often asked if I’m tempted to eat carbs. I respond that I know how carbs make me feel. I don’t eat carbs for the same reason I don’t stick my hand on a hot stove! I know it’s going to hurt. 😏
Yep! I tell people not to feel sorry for me; I don't miss grain or sugary processed foods!
Not to mention that nothing tastes as good as calm feels! 😊
I was trying to explain that to my wife. Beef is amazing. Never gets old - totally wasn’t expecting my brain to change like that. I would have said the same thing a year ago. Variety isn’t good if it’s a variety of human waste you’re choosing from.
In truth, they don't feel sorry for you, they actually worry about what you are eating says about THEM.
I have said for a long time now "convenience kills" and so does variety of food.
I never ever tire of steak or eggs or bacon!!!
EAT to LIVE, don’t live to eat. 👏🏼👊🏼👏🏼👊🏼👏🏼👊🏼👏🏼

I'm in the same boat (SAD). I'm also in MN and we're going through a major cold snap right now. It's tough not to want traditional "comfort" foods.

Cooking is straight forward and invariably involves 1 pot/pan or no pot if I barbeque, making cleanup a snap. So much more of my day is freed up for other things that I personally find more rewarding.
I totally agree.
Ha. Go into a grocery store and point to a snack food that tastes as good as my homemade bacon chips. I have been carnivore for 5 years.
I was born in 1968. My dad threw out the TV when I was 3, and so I have some really happy childhood memories: climbing trees, playing outside with my 5 younger siblings, 3 camping trips every summer, our dog from the pound gave birth to a litter of puppies, and I was always reading a book or helping my mom cook and clean, or making cookies. My life is all about organic gardening and seed-saving these days. I've been keto since April 2024, and I did 40 days of carnivore. I'm still exploring my new diet, new recipes, and also fasting. I tested as having a sensitivity to dairy, but Dr Steven Gundry's vids are causing me to consider trying dairy again. I would love if you made a vid about dairy.
Gundry is so sketchy though... I wouldn't rely on him as a source...
Born when FDR was president and all we had was radio and no car till I was in junior high. We ate pretty much everything: potato chips, soft drinks with sugar, cookies and the occasional pork chop. Nobody complained about their health and a fat man was a 200 pounder. If you are seeking health, you are looking in the wrong place.
As someone who's still omnivore (I'm Italian in Italy), I don't understand how anybody could ever grow bored of beef.
Different cuts, different cooking methods, beef itself gives you so much variety.
I just don't get it. Beef is so delicious and satisfying.
For many people food is an addiction (carbs) and a source of entertainment. Bored? Have a snack. It's difficult for them to imagine just eating for nutrition and satiety. It's the same process as breaking all addictions with freedom and well being on the other end, but if you aren't even aware it's a crutch and a weakness it's almost impossible to accept.
Agreed. I was born in '65. We would fly kites, ride bicycles 5-10 away from home, went fishing, played baseball on school yard ( not organized sports, but go by friends house and ask them if they want to play 500 on the school yard). In Texas, we ate a lot of beef, chicken, pork, eggs, fish. I'm so glad I grew up before computers and cell phones. Even today, I will go hikng and leave the phone at home.
1965 !! Hell YEAH!!!
I would ride my Schwinn Varsity 10 speed 10 miles down the Los Angeles river bed to Long Beach around the time you were born.
I'm 68 yo and been carnivore/ketovore for 18 months. I will occasionally eat vegetables when I go out to eat. But as a carnivore, it's hard to eat out because you can taste the seed oils they cook in which are awful, and you don't get your moneys worth. You won't find any vegetables or fruits in my refrigerator. But I do have variety with different kinds of meat and seafood. So lack of variety is not an issue. Though I try to limit it, i do also have dairy. My cheat occasionally is chocolate.
Fantastic video, Dr. Baker
No I don't miss it at all.... I have tried everything, it was good. But all carnivore is better! Just had 4 eggs, 5 slices of bacon and 5 slices of cheese and I eat that about every afternoon and can't see myself eating something other. I can run/walk and exercise in my 40's like I couldn't in my 30s from eating all that other garbage. I find other ways to eat carnivore from the various recipes that are out there and they are sooooo freaking good!!! I feel pure!! Not poisoned!!
@@MadDestructionChaos if you are stuffing yourself with saturated fat you are going to cause yourself problems.
Born in 1951, I was almost a teenager before we got a STEREO record changer. I played Johney Horton's "Sink the Bismark" so many times that my father threatened to destroy the 45 with a 45. In HS I bought our first color TV, (used, at the auction where I worked), with money I earned at $1.50/hr.
Beautiful explanation
Well said. I have been strict Carnivore for almost 15 months. I hear so many people talk about what I’m missing out on. I wouldn’t trade how I feel just for the taste of something else. Just like you wouldn’t pour soda in your gas tank of your car.
@@gemprodj how’s your cholesterol
@ in regards to what? The suggested numbers designed to put you on an unnecessary drug?
@@gemprodj in terms of your LdL cholesterol. If you eat a carnivore diet then having to take drugs to manage is is inevitable. But drs usually just suggest a healthy diet to remedy it. Which is what drives it. For reference, Dr Bakers is horrific. Medically classified as ‘dangerous’. But he doesn’t talk about it much.

Well said sir!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪
I finally used this route to get to where I am supposed to be. Eat to live, not live to eat. This has worked for me and I have maintained my weight for nearly two years for the very first time in my life. I have always been good at losing weight but maintenance has been another story. I was usually able to maintain any loss for about two weeks and that was white-knuckling it. I know this way of eating isn't for everyone but it has worked for me. Luckily I enjoy it which helps as well.
I love carnivore! I’m an outdoorsman and the ONLY THING I STRUGGLE WITH is how I could fry fish carnivore style!
I have a freezer full of Crappie, Flounder, Catfish, Bass and Bream filets that I would like to eat.
Been on carnivore for 4 months. Went from 240 to 208lbs and still dropping
Don’t want to mess my progress up with fried fish!
Oh I’m 48 and big fan, ever since your Joe Rogan episode
Thank you Dr.Baker!
Egg batter, ground pork rind crust, fry in a little bacon grease or tallow. Yum.
@ Awesome, I have seen that recipe and truthfully I am skeptical!
Have you tried it?
Carnivore is king 🤴 👍🏻🙌🥳💪💪
Food for pleasure/entertainment is a concept I never understood.
I lived without it because I didn’t have a choice. It did not exist. That being said, I do not get bored eating the same things everyday.
Good thing these things like cell phones, TH-cam and social media exist or I would not no you exist and it would be considerably harder for you to help people. Lucky for me I discovered this way of eating in 1999 before all this stuff was mainstream. Unfortunately, the information I learned later from you and others wasn’t there to push me towards helping my son eat this way when he was young and having issues that could of at least been helped by diet.
I agree with the notion that one doesn't need variety to be happy -- it's an entirely individual call -- but the notion that variety didn't exist in the 70s (when I grew up, too) and prior is just patently false.
Just one single example, cheese has existed for thousands upon thousands of years. Multiply that out by all ancient foods and it's clear that variety on food is as old as civilization itself.
My biggest desire for variety is that I would like to try the variation on life that doesn't involve my metabolic disfunctions. I wish I had been told in the 1970s to avoid carbs. What a difference it would have made in improving my life and health!
Exactly how i think
If you have more energy, poop less, cook less and isn't suffering from bloating, brain fog and other conditions, you have more lifetime
In a way it's life extension
A good steak, burger, eggs with some raw butter…is MUCH MORE enjoyable because of how good I feel eating this way❤
You're right, eating is just a fraction of your life. Or it should be, but many of the people saying these things actually spend many HOURS a day just eating, and it shows.
Born in ‘70. Grew up always outside playing. Carnivore is very simplistic for me, and not boring. Every bite of the steak, meat, eggs, butter, whatever animal based food I’m consuming at the time, I envision the entire food item being assimilated into my organs, cells, muscles, and tissue, none of it being wasted.
Ditto.. 👍
I'm 8 months in. Ill eat veggies every once in awhile but overall I eat about 98 percent meat. Still not bored and feeling great
There is plenty variety eating different kinds of meat. Different ways of cooking meat for different textures and tastes. Same goes for eggs.
Saw TV for the first time at aged 16....
Bored? How can anyone be bored with eating meat? I eat pretty much only beef, butter, bacon, and eggs and it's great! Don't need any of that mouth pleasure, I have real time and pleasure doing whatever I want not being tied to food. Also good health and brain power to enjoy those activities.
I mostly eat eggs and ground beef. But I do change up the spices.
Same age. As a kid, nobody had to walk around with a drink of something in their hand...coffee, frappacino, water, bubble tea. Nothing.
If at times you get bored of eating meat .... Get yrself a hobby 😂❤😂❤😂❤
I need a carnivore Nephrologist in the Seattle Area!🙏
Why would I go back to eating *food* that was not good or doing damage. It's a no-brainer, for sure.
Born 57, same here. Great times as a kid. We were poor and never knew it. Always had food on the table and a roof over our heads.
You weren't poor, you were rich. Wealth is not material wealth rather health is wealth.
Shawn I did carnivore for 3 months. I started getting heart palpitations. I train hard so it's probably low electrolytes. I also found it was very limiting socially. If you are at other people's home it's hard to eat all meat. I don't eat out a lot but once in a while I find myself needing a meal on the road. I also found I was not losing weight as quickly as other times when I just reduced calories. I was tracking and found calorie to calorie it's not as good as other diets I have done. All in all I wasn't impressed.
Wow, carnivore helped me get rid of my heart palpitations, and IBS, joint pain and more. No social eating would make me take any of those back on. But that’s why it’s best to do an experiment to find out what is best for you, n=1. Everyone has a different background and goals. I wish the best to you!
If anyone gets bored of beef, eggs, bacon, chicken, etc., then they just don't now how to cook :) If you get cravings for things that aren't good for you then just don't buy those things! Boom problem solved.
Who wants to live to be 100, if they can't move for pain, and the medications you need, takes up a whole meal, and you have to stick yourself with needles several times every single day?
I sure as hell don't - I'm 60 now, and if my health gets worse than it is now, i don't even want to reach 80.
Carnivore is my last resort.
@@TheAnnestube if you eat carnivore you will have no problems not meeting 80.
I used to souse vide a lot, but what are your thoughts on the whole microplastics thing? Seems like a potentially real problem. But you tell me
Looking jacked
Eating to live. Not, living to eat.
@@srmilk4495 then why would you eat mainly saturated fat? It’s a total contradiction.
The Internet WAS invented back then, but it didn't come into common daily use until the 90s. Not to be pedantic.
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), awarded contracts in 1969 for the development of the ARPANET project, which eventually lead to research at CERN in Switzerland by the British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989-90 which resulted in the World Wide Web. Source: Wikipedia. (I entered UCI as a freshman in the fall of 1969, where I saw my first computer).
after john mcdougall, big plant-based diet guru (author of the bestselling 'the starch solution') died right after his 77th birthday last yr, it pretty much put to rest the longevity premise. not that some starch diet peeps dont live longer than 77 but the STRENGTH factor one gets from meat, dairy, egg centric diet is so much more appealing. plus, plants were heirloom strain back in the 1960's. no bt corn or genespliced garbage. gotta b so careful where u source food these days!
*Steak, Sweet Potato is my guilty pleasure.* Nobody played "fake" GUNS? Today might be risky but back then we didn't have orange tipped guns.

Does anyone think this guy just looks really unwell?
He's almost 60..Not bad for that age.
@ he looks really unwell. Imagine he probably has some underlying issues he’s not talking about.
@@Audioremedy0785 You have no idea what you’re talking about. Have you seen his workouts? They would literally kill most people half his age.
@ shall we see where he is in a few years time? He’s a guy who has been ‘carnivore’ for a few years. His training etc was all in place well before he decided to develop an eating disorder to get attention on the internet. His health has been in steady decline since then. Which is well documented in his bloodwork which he talks about. You are all just too dumb to get it.
My life has been so much easier with carnivore. I look at all the processed food and say no thanks! and move on!
GenX so I basically didn't even come inside until I was like 10. I couldn't gain an ounce either and ate whatever I wanted come to think of it..
I am happy living without my love handles. Born in 70.

Variety is the spice of life.
Everything in moderation.
Eat a balanced diet.
You need plants and fibre.
Vegan is proper human behavior.
Spot all the mistakes above. All born of marketing. Veganism wouldn't exist without the marketing.
