I love how easy carnivore is. I have an almost empty pantry now and so much more room in my fridge and freezer! No more wasting money on produce I have to toss because it’s gone bad. Meals are so much easier to plan and to prepare. Leftovers never go to waste now. Love love love how much money and time I save eating carnivore.
My husband and I are a low income family and we get food stamps. I've become really good at budgeting our food on carnivore and we only have to shop once a month. Our daughter is also more ketovore, and we spend maybe $350-500 a month, depending on what we need
My household is $110 a wk budget, no food stamps. (We listen to Dave Ramsay lol) we are probably going to start carnivore diet bc of what seems to be celiac or non celiac in my husband and general bloat/gas for me. The kids, maybe? Not sure. The price of food and quickness of rot for the money, I AGREE! ri-dic-u-LOUS
Hi Laura, a trick I learned from @CowboyKentRollins for tender steaks you put lime juice on them and let them sit for about a half hour and the lime juice helps tenderize them
Thank you ,Laura I'm 58 my husband Is 60 We absolutely needed this so badly. I have Hypothyroidism and pre-diabetic. My husband is 60 and was just diagnosed with diabetes. We went Keto right away . Our oldest son & his wife have been eating keto/carnivore over 2 years So they help and Dr.Ken berry's videos Mrs josette Montgomery County, Texas 🙏 ✨️

As a thought. I bone out my chicken legs and thighs and save bones in ziploc in freezer. Then I make chicken bone broth in crockpot when I have enough to do so. I season and cook my chicken in oven and by boning out, it cooks more evenly. For larger pieces I'll cut in thirds. I use a greased cookie sheet, rubbing with tallow, lard or coconut oil. A lot of good seasoned fat and gel left over that I scrape to later add to boned chicken broth, but is tasty eating as is.. I recently started taking the skin off the chicken and cooking by itself in oven on different tray with the chicken itself. Cooking the chicken in oven without the skin adding the seasoning sometimes coating with a fat is just as good as with the skin on. But always helps to have a instant read thermometer to make sure all chicken is not over cooked and to dry. Taking out while still juicy, but cooked inside. And those chicken skins are crazy good too.
I have owned that air fryer for two years, and it was worth every penny. The non-stick surfaces are as beautiful as the day i bought it. I can blast most things off with hot water without needing soap. With a liner, it's pretty much no maintenance.
Bought chicken legs last week. Baked them on a rack in the oven set at 375 for 40 minutes. Crispy and delicious. So easy. 6 legs we like $3.50. Such a cheap meal. And eggs are crazy cheap. Eat 2 or 3 dozen a week. Still eat my steak. Just not every meal.
I scored leg quarters at Aldi for $.29 pound. I got their 10 pound bags for $2.99. I was super excited and bought a bunch and froze them. Definitely sale shopping and clearance shopping makes a huge difference :)
Awesome video, Laura! I've been carnivore since August of 2022. NEVER GOING BACK! This has changed my life in so many ways. So very grateful that God opened my eyes to it. Your videos have been instrumental during my conversion from SAD to carnivore. Thanks for producing such helpful content!
Thank you so much for all your help in understanding this way of eating. My wife and I have hit our 1 year mark, and combined lost over 150 pounds. You were one of our first resources to see what this way of eating was all about. We are sending the message to as many others as we can to help get people educated and healthy. Thank you so much Laura!!!
My husband and I are 40 years old and we’re on the keto/carnivore diet and we are so much healthier than all of our friends and acquaintances. They’re in their late 30s and maybe 40 years old and they’re on prescription drugs they’re on allergy medication, they’re always having headaches And most of them are diabetic. Some are overweight. Some are not with diabetes. Thank you for your videos. It keeps me motivated to continue on this journey.❤
I dont know if this helps anyone, but ninja is one of the safest and cleanest. I have a parrot and have to read and research everything and it is the one mentioned on all the parrot forumd
I do an instant pot airfryer. You can use it as a airfryer or an instant pot. I don’t use the insert and fry it in the stainless steel pot. Works great! Dishwash the pot and no nonstick. Love these videos ❤️👍
I'm prepping myself to start the carnivore diet soon. Cleaning out pantry , fridge, and freezer. I work at a school in a low income area. All the food I'm donating will be used. Crazy how much we think we need. I'm looking forward to less stress about all the cans, bags, and boxes of food.
Accidentally bought chicken legs a few days back (meant to get wings) and I was shocked when portioning the meat for the freezer - 20 or so legs (4 lbs) for $7.5! That’s 3-4 meals in my household
dark meat is almost always cheaper; sometimes I can get a pack like you describe for $5 at Safeway. Since my oven is broken I confit them in tallow. I also can them with salt and garlic.
Every time I watch your videos, I compare my mother-in-law's tongue to yours. Currently, my plant has 3 leaves and 2 baby shoots.....I look forward to many more years of tips and tricks and pretty plants! Thank you for your time and input! Currently down 50 lbs from 205---10 lbs from my goal weight, because of your help!
I usually buy whole chicken, and by carving it, I get three meals out of it (we have side dishes with it). So from a ~2,7 kg chicken you'll get around 1× breast (600g) 1x legs, wings etc (everything that's not breast, 6 pieces=2x wings,2x drumsticks,2x upper part of legs), and 1x bones and a bit meat to cook a little broth (if you have the option also take one with feet and intestines for the broth, the feet have a lot of collagen and intestines are very nutritious). :-) Sardines are also quite inexpensive, not as full with heavy metals as other fish like tuna and have the omegas and vitamin E. Just make sure you but the ones in water, not in oil cause you wanna avoid all bad amd low quality oils.
I have tried many style of air fryers, But the Nuwave Primo Grill oven is my all time favorite. Has a clear dome so you can see all around, Built in Grill so no flipping, built in temp probe... Just a great all-around kitchen tool.
Love this!! Great that at the end of the video you mentioned you not only save in food costs but all medications are reduced or eliminated when you are healthy. Most people don’t consider that they may be able to come off medications because they assume they’re on it for life just because it was prescribed. Also you’ll have more energy and may be able to do things around house that you previously had to pay someone else.
This was very helpful for me! I used a relaxed version of keto to reverse type 2 diabetes. I struggle with making the commitment to any lifestyle change because of all the temptations around me. Cost has been one of my biggest concerns and my second biggest question has been how much do I eat. Between your videos and Dr. Ken Berry’s, I feel like I’m being equipped to take the plunge .
Consider taking the carnivore plunge! Do a 90 day bacon, butter, beef and egg experiment. Tell yourself it’s only 90 days but stick to it. Chances are you will feel so great you will break those temptations and old habits. Snack on bacon, snack on burgers soon 90 days soon YOU CAN OVERCOME YOUR CARB ADDICTION. I was a bread addict. It worked surprisingly well for me. My goal was to lower fasting insulin, my side effect was 40 pounds disappeared and I don’t crave bread or carbs anymore. After 2 years of maintaining the weight loss and enjoying my healthier body, my experiment to eat a homemade scone taught me I AM WHEAT INTOLERANT, who knew? I thought I was a night owl but the wheat kept me up with nocturnal anxiety! I suffered 3 nights from one scone. My addiction is gone. Best wishes on your journey to optimum health, don’t think about it….just do it.
@@barblacy619Here's another sugar and bread addict - I lose all sense of moderation with bread, and feel no satiety. Keto/Carnivore has freed me from all such cravings. It's wonderful to feel satisfied by good, heathy food! Now I'm just working out the sweet spot of what to eat, and how much, to heal from chronic illness, and gently lose weight.

Sally is specific to oxalates which many former plant based or ‘heart healthy’ dieters were poisoned by and became inflamed.

If you feel tempted to eat an “incorrect” or “cheat” food….I am of the opinion that you did not eat ENOUGH EGGS🥚🥚🥚for breakfast and that you are hungry‼Remember because you are not eating toast +OJ+ jams etc with eggs for breakfast…you do not realize that TWO🥚🥚eggs do not provide enough protein to constitute a full meal‼You must increase your eggs…to about four. Due to the fact ONE EGG🥚provides only 7 grams of protein…therefore, two eggs🥚🥚🟰14 grams…which is not sufficient to be a long lasting satisfying breakfast🥓🍗🍳‼ A meal, one meal should provide about 30 grams of protein‼HAPPY EATING‼🥚‼
Were a family of 6. Before carnivore our Sam’s club total was $400 every 2 weeks. After carnivore we spend about $250 every 2 weeks. We’re all so much healthier and have so much energy.
We buy all our meat in bulk and trim it up ourselves. Get a whole, big pork loin for $18 and cut it into chops and bites, get a 10lb roll of burger for $30 ish and make smash burgers, a 40 pound case of chicken legs for $24, etc. we get all sour meat from an Amish store, the only thing we go to an actual grocery store for is cheeses, a few condiments and seasonings
Thank you for your videos. Started Keto 2018, lost 80 lbs, then a year ago, ketovore. More carnivore though. I do have onions every once in a while. Love your videos. You give great ideas on mixing up the meals. Going to try the bacon bits with my 3 scrambled eggs. Recently, I had all my labs done. They came back perfect. Thank you for being such an inspiration.
I’ve been using my Ninja single bucket air fryer for 4 years with steady use. The bucket is in excellent condition and still super easy to clean. I love it!
Your videos are absolutely amazing. Just talking about it is ok but breaking it down the way you do has helped me so much. Thank you so much for everything you do!!!!
New to carnivore, and trying to clear up some auto immune issues, depression, and drop a few lbs as well. This channel is proving my number 1 resource! Thank you Laura!
Laura, the airfryers are coated in Tfal type of coating that breaks down... "forever chemicals " are also released into the air...Look into stainless steel air fryers... the Ninja one, seems to be a good and popular choice.....
I watched you yesterday and you convinced me along with all the positive comments. I went very low sugar for the month of April so Im ready to step it up. Goal for me is lose weight, reduce pain, depression
Laura, since you guys eat beef so often, have you considered buying a whole/half/quarter of a cow from a butcher? You can pick your cuts, preferences, & portions too. Usually saves money & time.
Great point re medical bills and meds. I am going to do this too. Too many body and health issues so will conduct a personal experiment on myself and see what happens.
Great point about NOT buying medicines and not having extra doctor visits. My medication costs our insurance $50,000 every 2 weeks. I spend more than you to buy organic and grass fed, but it's so worth it considering the cost of health care.
Great video. I am just starting the carnivore diet. When I first heard about it, I way that can be healthy! But, I have tried alot of eating plans and I haven't seen the results I want. I like that you broke down the cost of your meals. I remember years ago when all the news came out about how bad hydrogenated oils are. When I removed everything from the kitchen and pantry that had these oils, it stripped the cupboards bare leaving basically meat, butter, veggies etc. All those "filler" foods that we think we need for between meals are so expensive.
I feel best on steak. I usually eat two eggs and bacon for breakfast and a 16 to 20 oz steak for lunch/dinner. It costs a little more because I often eat good quality NY strips and ribeyes. If I'm feeling tight I eat chicken or pork. Sometimes chuck roast or ground beef.
your carnivore meatballs inspired me. from the video you posted before. and Im totally addicted to them lol. i eat them daily now. so this is my favorite version iVe done recently. ive been experimenting. 2 pounds ground beef. 1/2 cup of asiago cheese. 1/2 cup of mexican cheese. 1, 1/3 tsp of salt. 1 pack of 4 ounce pancetta mixed. all ingredients make the meatballs. freeze for a few hours. throw in the air fryer for 18 mins at 400 degrees.
I just watched your Tummy Tuck video. I had it done in 2011 and it is the best thing I ever did. Mine was only 8000.00 because I got a professional discount. I went home the same day and was in my bed because it is adjustable. I went back to work at two weeks. I am a Respiratory Therapist retired now. I had the exact same procedure. I had 6 grandchildren when I had my surgery due to I am so much older than you. You look wonderful. I am 75 years young.
Had one in 1998 and also had a breast lift my very experienced plastic surgeon routinely trained new plastic surgeons,( both of them worked together on me) $1600 for the breast lift and $2500 for the tummy tuck, I am a nurse ( almost 67 and still practicing) I also was back to work in 2 weeks 😊
Just picked up a two pack of whole roasters for $1.26/pound. Got two Maxx packs of drumsticks for $0.89/pound. Maxx pack tri-tips for $4.89/pound. The deals are out there, even when they're hard to find.
Thank you for sharing. I find that people use costs as excuses. My partner is semi-carnivore 😉, and the reason our grocery bill is higher is b/c of the “extras” that we purchase. He works out pretty heavily and feels the need to add a small bit of carbs in his diet. He looks fantastic, so if it works for him that’s fine. Tonight we are eating flanken ribs that cost $9.75 (not on sale) and we’ll split that.
I’ve been getting a giant chuck roll (35lbs) for $4.69lb and cutting it into roasts and steaks. I sous vide the roasts for 30’hours at 131 and the steaks for 3 hours at 131. They come out so tender and medium rare. A quick sear and they are fantastic. I like to slice the roasts with my meat slicer on the thinnest setting then I can grab a quick snack or fry some up with my eggs.
Thanks for doing this video. I knew it was cheaper in my brain but nice to see it on paper. My daily stop at convience store in morning was minimum $8 for snacks and sodas to get through the day on top of meals. Thanks again.
I have the EXACT Same Ninja Air fryer & totally agree it's the absolute BEST! I love the smart cook system. It's definitely a keeper & like you I've taken many air fryers back.❤
It really depends where you live . We live in silicon valley ca and price here are no where near as low as what your paying. I can shop around and I do . But eggs per dozen are $5.99 and up!
We have the same air fryer! Amazing, isn't it? Thanks for the informative video! I missed Goya Adobo. I'm an American living in the UK and could never find it! It's now on Amazon UK and I am a happier carnivore!
The NuWave Oven for a meal for one, two or three people is so far better than an air fryer IMHO. I put my fresh or forzen meat, chicken, fish whatever on a regular dinner plate and set the timer according to whether fresh or frozen and press start. Beeper goes off when finished. That's it. Clean up is wash the one dinner plate and whatever plates you use to eat off of.
I'm a butcher. Those were Top Round London Broils. A fine steak....but sirloin is no where near 5.99 a pound. I like to cook mine medium and thin slice them.
I got some liners for my air fryer and they were too big. So I've been using them under the oven broiler. I did four "fried" eggs in butter in one the other day and I said yummy with every bite. I am 60 and I'm a lazy cook so that was a dream for me. Did bacon before that!
So I guess you're supposed to eat the skin? I always throw it out, same with thighs. I will keep skin on next time & I really want an air fryer but maybe an 8qt. This is very helpful with more ideas,thank you!
that's the best part! or fry the skins separately for a chip alternative (but I only do that If I'm boiling things for broth). Never throw food away, that wastes $$$
DONT THROW AWAY CHICKEN SKINS! I keep all my chicken skin in a qt freezer bag until I have a full bag or more then I cut it up in small chunks then fry it up. It makes tasty, crunchy snacks and the oil [called smaltz] is put in a jar and used for cooking.
Carnivore foods are expensive but if you stay basic and cut out unneeded stuff it’s not that bad. I still only spend about 100 a week on groceries and that is my breakfast lunch and dinner for whole the week. I do eat out though for Saturday and Sunday dinners. That’s eggs meat cheese and fruit
I think it balances out in favour too be honest especially when you dont buy takeaways anymore id spent 120 a week for the family id spend 10 a day at work and another 30/40 on other meals thats 170ish a week on crap now i buy steaks eggs water weetabix other meat and my shopping comes to just over 100 for the whole week
I agree that eating Carnivore is not as expensive as people think, and there's lots of waste with produce, but I can't buy anything as cheaply as Laura does. I shopped today and only bought sale items.... cheapest eggs are $3.99/dozen, 8oz bag of store brand shredded cheese $7.99, large bag bacon crumbles $14.99, butter $6.49/lb, top Sirloin $9.99/lb, chicken legs $5.00/lb. I wish I could shop at her prices.
Thanks for your video I’m new to the carnivore food plan . I live in the UK and the price of food is extortionate and we don’t get the discount coupons that you get in the USA I wish that we did . We do have Costco but the price of meat and fish is very expensive compared to the USA , but I’m very lucky that I can afford to be on a carnivore diet but there are many people in the UK especially with families struggling to feed themselves and their children and have to resort to food banks I’m glad that the USA have a better standard of life .
Question I have protein beef broth can I drink these if they have no sugar but trace reishi mushroom powder, Cauliflower powder, mince green onion, parsley Tumeric extract, chicken bone broth powder, grass-fed bovine hydrolyzed collagen? I have a lot and love them I could use them to flavor meat & in water is like a soup.
Have the same airfryer but the next one up with the temp probe. Could live without the probe tbh but is convenient. Love the Ninja Airfryer! Gets used at least once per day and quick and easy to clean. WAY easier than the shelf type. We are paranoid about the non stick and damage and in 8 months of using is all good so far. Have noticed the top lip and bottom(outside) wearing from sliding in and out friction but that is it. Great video Laura. Way more $'s are saved going carnivor let alone the health impact. If only I could convince the rest of the family😔
I've been eating carnivore for two and a half years. Sure, "meat is expensive" I heard. I started out eating much of what I already had stocked up in the freezer, but settled on staples of high-fat ground beef (it's cheaper, and more filling), bacon, eggs from free-range chickens (the ones with the orange yolks with all the vitamins, my sister raises chickens for eggs), and butter. My sister is a taxidermist so I will occasionally get venison. My freezer is half full now. The nice thing about carnivore is that you can eat all you want, but that's not usually an awful lot. And I only eat once or twice a day. Sometimes I'll have bacon strips wrapped in Swiis chees slices as a snack. Occasionally that'll even suffice for supper. I have added "keto coffee" (black coffee with two tablespoons of butter and coconut oil) every morning, but I'm beginning to rethink that. Often that alone will be enough for the day.
I know for a fact that I was spending soooo much more money on fast food, fruit smoothies, pizza night, donuts, cookies, protein bars, green juice mixers, keto treats, low carb chips.
Thank you, Laura, this was fantastic! I feel motivated now to seek the things I can afford in my local supermarkets and not overthink with all these fancy things anymore!
If you "hash mark" cut your steak, i promise it won't be tough no matter how cheap it was, plus salt it heavily... leave it in the fridge 1 hour. Rinse and THEN cook.

So from a ~2,7 kg chicken you'll get around 1× breast (600g) 1x legs, wings etc (everything that's not breast, 6 pieces=2x wings,2x drumsticks,2x upper part of legs), and 1x bones and a bit meat to cook a little broth (if you have the option also take one with feet and intestines for the broth, the feet have a lot of collagen and intestines are very nutritious). :-)

After 2 years of maintaining the weight loss and enjoying my healthier body, my experiment to eat a homemade scone taught me I AM WHEAT INTOLERANT, who knew? I thought I was a night owl but the wheat kept me up with nocturnal anxiety! I suffered 3 nights from one scone. My addiction is gone.
Best wishes on your journey to optimum health, don’t think about it….just do it.
@@barblacy619Here's another sugar and bread addict - I lose all sense of moderation with bread, and feel no satiety.
Keto/Carnivore has freed me from all such cravings. It's wonderful to feel satisfied by good, heathy food!
Now I'm just working out the sweet spot of what to eat, and how much, to heal from chronic illness, and gently lose weight.

If you feel tempted to eat an “incorrect” or “cheat” food….I am of the opinion that you did not eat ENOUGH EGGS🥚🥚🥚for breakfast and that you are hungry‼Remember because you are not eating toast +OJ+ jams etc with eggs for breakfast…you do not realize that TWO🥚🥚eggs do not provide enough protein to constitute a full meal‼You must increase your eggs…to about four. Due to the fact ONE EGG🥚provides only 7 grams of protein…therefore, two eggs🥚🥚🟰14 grams…which is not sufficient to be a long lasting satisfying breakfast🥓🍗🍳‼
A meal, one meal should provide about 30 grams of protein‼HAPPY EATING‼🥚‼
Thank you! You’re such a huge blessing! 🤗
Were a family of 6. Before carnivore our Sam’s club total was $400 every 2 weeks. After carnivore we spend about $250 every 2 weeks. We’re all so much healthier and have so much energy.
We buy all our meat in bulk and trim it up ourselves. Get a whole, big pork loin for $18 and cut it into chops and bites, get a 10lb roll of burger for $30 ish and make smash burgers, a 40 pound case of chicken legs for $24, etc. we get all sour meat from an Amish store, the only thing we go to an actual grocery store for is cheeses, a few condiments and seasonings
Thank you for your videos. Started Keto 2018, lost 80 lbs, then a year ago, ketovore. More carnivore though. I do have onions every once in a while. Love your videos. You give great ideas on mixing up the meals. Going to try the bacon bits with my 3 scrambled eggs. Recently, I had all my labs done. They came back perfect. Thank you for being such an inspiration.
I’ve been using my Ninja single bucket air fryer for 4 years with steady use. The bucket is in excellent condition and still super easy to clean. I love it!
Your videos are absolutely amazing. Just talking about it is ok but breaking it down the way you do has helped me so much. Thank you so much for everything you do!!!!
New to carnivore, and trying to clear up some auto immune issues, depression, and drop a few lbs as well.
This channel is proving my number 1 resource! Thank you Laura!
Laura, the airfryers are coated in Tfal type of coating that breaks down... "forever chemicals " are also released into the air...Look into stainless steel air fryers... the Ninja one, seems to be a good and popular choice.....
This was so helpful and encouraging, Laura.
One month in, and aiming for as clean as possible, for autoimmune healing. I need all the help I can get.
That air fryer is the best one. I got the same one for Christmas, we do everything in it!!! Great buy and thank you for the great videos.
I watched you yesterday and you convinced me along with all the positive comments. I went very low sugar for the month of April so Im ready to step it up. Goal for me is lose weight, reduce pain, depression
I buy bulk frozen steaks. About %30 cheaper.
Can also buy whole or half animals (and eggs) from the Hutterites, too. Two deep freezers helps a lot.
Laura, since you guys eat beef so often, have you considered buying a whole/half/quarter of a cow from a butcher? You can pick your cuts, preferences, & portions too. Usually saves money & time.
Great point re medical bills and meds. I am going to do this too. Too many body and health issues so will conduct a personal experiment on myself and see what happens.
Chicken legs or wings in air fryer. Then dip in sour cream.
Great point about NOT buying medicines and not having extra doctor visits. My medication costs our insurance $50,000 every 2 weeks. I spend more than you to buy organic and grass fed, but it's so worth it considering the cost of health care.
Great video. I am just starting the carnivore diet. When I first heard about it, I way that can be healthy! But, I have tried alot of eating plans and I haven't seen the results I want. I like that you broke down the cost of your meals. I remember years ago when all the news came out about how bad hydrogenated oils are. When I removed everything from the kitchen and pantry that had these oils, it stripped the cupboards bare leaving basically meat, butter, veggies etc. All those "filler" foods that we think we need for between meals are so expensive.
Thank you for sharing your food and prices with us. It all looked yummy.
I like to do chicken thighs in the oven, they turn out great! They are usually on sale at Safeway for around 1.30 a pound.
So so helpful, Laura. Love this to be able to share with those that think cost is a barrier to health.
Your chuckeye steak tip was perfect. I love this steak & so less expensive. I also love chicken thighs, bone in skin on. Yum!
We love top sirloin. In the winter time. I cut up into inch pieces & sear in butter. Quick & easy.
Anxiously waiting my FIRST order, thanks to you. Can't wait!
I have a ninja 11 in one that will air fry, but I love legs browned in a pan and baked in the oven. I like thighs in pressure cooker or baked
This was such a good video. I always hear how expensive carnivore is as a way for people to shoot it down. Thank you!
I feel best on steak. I usually eat two eggs and bacon for breakfast and a 16 to 20 oz steak for lunch/dinner. It costs a little more because I often eat good quality NY strips and ribeyes. If I'm feeling tight I eat chicken or pork. Sometimes chuck roast or ground beef.
your carnivore meatballs inspired me. from the video you posted before. and Im totally addicted to them lol. i eat them daily now. so this is my favorite version iVe done recently. ive been experimenting. 2 pounds ground beef. 1/2 cup of asiago cheese. 1/2 cup of mexican cheese. 1, 1/3 tsp of salt. 1 pack of 4 ounce pancetta mixed. all ingredients make the meatballs. freeze for a few hours. throw in the air fryer for 18 mins at 400 degrees.
I just watched your Tummy Tuck video. I had it done in 2011 and it is the best thing I ever did. Mine was only 8000.00 because I got a professional discount. I went home the same day and was in my bed because it is adjustable. I went back to work at two weeks. I am a Respiratory Therapist retired now. I had the exact same procedure. I had 6 grandchildren when I had my surgery due to I am so much older than you. You look wonderful. I am 75 years young.
Had one in 1998 and also had a breast lift my very experienced plastic surgeon routinely trained new plastic surgeons,( both of them worked together on me) $1600 for the breast lift and $2500 for the tummy tuck, I am a nurse ( almost 67 and still practicing) I also was back to work in 2 weeks 😊
I have the same air fryer 😊. I love it. Thanks for the information .
I have that exact airfryer. Love-love it! The match cook function is fantastic.
It's so good!
Just picked up a two pack of whole roasters for $1.26/pound. Got two Maxx packs of drumsticks for $0.89/pound. Maxx pack tri-tips for $4.89/pound. The deals are out there, even when they're hard to find.
Thank you for sharing. I find that people use costs as excuses. My partner is semi-carnivore 😉, and the reason our grocery bill is higher is b/c of the “extras” that we purchase. He works out pretty heavily and feels the need to add a small bit of carbs in his diet. He looks fantastic, so if it works for him that’s fine. Tonight we are eating flanken ribs that cost $9.75 (not on sale) and we’ll split that.
There are ceramic lined air fryers too....
Just a friendly warning for the Ninja. They seem to have teflon baskets. Which is why I am ditching mine
Hi Laura, your videos have mentioned that you're a carnivore family with two young children. Could you do a video on what your children eat in a day?
She has videos on what her kids eat. Have you done a search of her channel?
I’ve been getting a giant chuck roll (35lbs) for $4.69lb and cutting it into roasts and steaks. I sous vide the roasts for 30’hours at 131 and the steaks for 3 hours at 131. They come out so tender and medium rare. A quick sear and they are fantastic. I like to slice the roasts with my meat slicer on the thinnest setting then I can grab a quick snack or fry some up with my eggs.
Thanks for doing this video. I knew it was cheaper in my brain but nice to see it on paper. My daily stop at convience store in morning was minimum $8 for snacks and sodas to get through the day on top of meals. Thanks again.
Exactly!! I just to spend more money at a gas station on junk food just to snack on all day at the office than I do now on a days worth of eating.
*a convenience
I have the EXACT Same Ninja Air fryer & totally agree it's the absolute BEST! I love the smart cook system. It's definitely a keeper & like you I've taken many air fryers back.❤
It really depends where you live . We live in silicon valley ca and price here are no where near as low as what your paying. I can shop around and I do . But eggs per dozen are $5.99 and up!
I just ordered LMNT from your link. So excited about trying it.
I love that air fryer too! I use it multiple times a day!
We have the same air fryer! Amazing, isn't it? Thanks for the informative video! I missed Goya Adobo. I'm an American living in the UK and could never find it! It's now on Amazon UK and I am a happier carnivore!
The NuWave Oven for a meal for one, two or three people is so far better than an air fryer IMHO. I put my fresh or forzen meat, chicken, fish whatever on a regular dinner plate and set the timer according to whether fresh or frozen and press start. Beeper goes off when finished. That's it. Clean up is wash the one dinner plate and whatever plates you use to eat off of.
I am now 141 days on carnivore, and I do not eat steaks or other expensive cuts of meat). It has cut my grocery bills (and shopping) in almost half.
I'm new to it all. Can I ask what you do eat? 😊
I'm a butcher. Those were Top Round London Broils. A fine steak....but sirloin is no where near 5.99 a pound. I like to cook mine medium and thin slice them.
I got some liners for my air fryer and they were too big. So I've been using them under the oven broiler. I did four "fried" eggs in butter in one the other day and I said yummy with every bite. I am 60 and I'm a lazy cook so that was a dream for me. Did bacon before that!
Spot on, thank you ECM
I get $90.00 a month in SNAP benefits. I can get more than a month's worth of meat at ALDI on that.
did u mean 900?
@@marilync8133 I wish. Just $90.
No @@marilync8133
@@marilync8133it’s probably 1 person doing OMAD
But are you only eating meat?
Influenced! I have been researching a new air fryer this week ❤
Thanks for the tips, Laura. Once we settle back in the United States, I'll be interested to see the carnivore costs for our family in Alaska. 😅
Great content! Helpful, informative and encouraging!
So I guess you're supposed to eat the skin? I always throw it out, same with thighs. I will keep skin on next time & I really want an air fryer but maybe an 8qt. This is very helpful with more ideas,thank you!
Skin is where the fat is. And flavor
Yes the Skin is so tasty and has great fat!
@@LauraSpath The paprika is a great idea for spice too! I want to try that and never heard of the other larger one, will find it. 🍗
that's the best part! or fry the skins separately for a chip alternative (but I only do that If I'm boiling things for broth). Never throw food away, that wastes $$$
DONT THROW AWAY CHICKEN SKINS!
I keep all my chicken skin in a qt freezer bag until I have a full bag or more then I cut it up in small chunks then fry it up. It makes tasty, crunchy snacks and the oil [called smaltz] is put in a jar and used for cooking.
Bashas looks like the place to shop!!! I live in Ontario Canada. Those prices are unheard of!!!
All I have to say is Chris is one lucky guy 😊
I certainly am
Carnivore foods are expensive but if you stay basic and cut out unneeded stuff it’s not that bad. I still only spend about 100 a week on groceries and that is my breakfast lunch and dinner for whole the week. I do eat out though for Saturday and Sunday dinners. That’s eggs meat cheese and fruit
I think it balances out in favour too be honest especially when you dont buy takeaways anymore id spent 120 a week for the family id spend 10 a day at work and another 30/40 on other meals thats 170ish a week on crap now i buy steaks eggs water weetabix other meat and my shopping comes to just over 100 for the whole week
I recently tried hot water with an lmnt raspberry package. It tasted soooo good!
Thanks for the chicken drumsticks idea! I didn't even realize that they're cheaper than wings and a whole lot more for the meat.
Great video, love how you broke it down!
I agree that eating Carnivore is not as expensive as people think, and there's lots of waste with produce, but I can't buy anything as cheaply as Laura does. I shopped today and only bought sale items.... cheapest eggs are $3.99/dozen, 8oz bag of store brand shredded cheese $7.99, large bag bacon crumbles $14.99, butter $6.49/lb, top Sirloin $9.99/lb, chicken legs $5.00/lb. I wish I could shop at her prices.
Thanks for this, as always! Love your videos. Your skin looks AMAZING!
Thanks for your video I’m new to the carnivore food plan . I live in the UK and the price of food is extortionate and we don’t get the discount coupons that you get in the USA I wish that we did . We do have Costco but the price of meat and fish is very expensive compared to the USA , but I’m very lucky that I can afford to be on a carnivore diet but there are many people in the UK especially with families struggling to feed themselves and their children and have to resort to food banks I’m glad that the USA have a better standard of life .
Love the video! Thanks as always!
Question I have protein beef broth can I drink these if they have no sugar but trace reishi mushroom powder, Cauliflower powder, mince green onion, parsley Tumeric extract, chicken bone broth powder, grass-fed bovine hydrolyzed collagen? I have a lot and love them I could use them to flavor meat & in water is like a soup.
Have the same airfryer but the next one up with the temp probe. Could live without the probe tbh but is convenient. Love the Ninja Airfryer! Gets used at least once per day and quick and easy to clean. WAY easier than the shelf type. We are paranoid about the non stick and damage and in 8 months of using is all good so far. Have noticed the top lip and bottom(outside) wearing from sliding in and out friction but that is it.
Great video Laura.
Way more $'s are saved going carnivor let alone the health impact. If only I could convince the rest of the family😔
Great video - as always ! I have the same air fryer - LOVE IT! ( have also tried others) :)
Great ideas Laura, thank you ❤
I use these same ingredients to make microwave scrambled eggs in a fat coffee mug.
Great video, appreciate the break down!
I've been eating carnivore for two and a half years. Sure, "meat is expensive" I heard. I started out eating much of what I already had stocked up in the freezer, but settled on staples of high-fat ground beef (it's cheaper, and more filling), bacon, eggs from free-range chickens (the ones with the orange yolks with all the vitamins, my sister raises chickens for eggs), and butter.
My sister is a taxidermist so I will occasionally get venison. My freezer is half full now.
The nice thing about carnivore is that you can eat all you want, but that's not usually an awful lot. And I only eat once or twice a day.
Sometimes I'll have bacon strips wrapped in Swiis chees slices as a snack. Occasionally that'll even suffice for supper.
I have added "keto coffee" (black coffee with two tablespoons of butter and coconut oil) every morning, but I'm beginning to rethink that. Often that alone will be enough for the day.
I know for a fact that I was spending soooo much more money on fast food, fruit smoothies, pizza night, donuts, cookies, protein bars, green juice mixers, keto treats, low carb chips.
Same!!!!
Cookies, donuts, pizza with cheese... Thats so much fat. The thing is to eat low fat but a lot of carbs.. For example pizza no meat no cheese.
You look sooo good! Youre glowing ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Laura, this was fantastic! I feel motivated now to seek the things I can afford in my local supermarkets and not overthink with all these fancy things anymore!
If you "hash mark" cut your steak, i promise it won't be tough no matter how cheap it was, plus salt it heavily... leave it in the fridge 1 hour. Rinse and THEN cook.
