Six months ago, Doctors didn’t expect me to survive a double brain bleed, a stroke and a 200 mile plane ride in a blizzard. Saw the Doctor who put me on that plane yesterday and she was amazed that I was not only upright and fit at age 68, but have full function. I’ve been doing ketovore with intermittent fasting for nearly a year now, eating mostly animal products but some salads. God and the diet are why I’m still here. It works for nearly everything that ails you!
I’m 10 years your junior but recently changed my diet for the better. BBBE right now and 3 wks in I can feel and see the changes! I’ve always had my faith but find myself needing more lately. I need that spiritual connection everyday. Need to make time for it.
❤❤❤😊 they say it is not the trip, but the journey… sometimes it is being lost in a white out… with all the dietary white noise. I ask my self how can I assume I have any intelligence when I cannot understand what I should eat.😮
So, God had nothing to do with you almost not being here but had something to do with you being here? Does God give you enough common sense to understand that makes no sense?
Recently retired vascular access specialist, because of back injury and obesity. For decades I tried everything, and of course was steered away from red meat and fat. Imagine my surprise when I found yours and others channels, showed such great results! I’m addicted to carbs and 150+ lbs overweight. I’m going to try this in order to get my life back. I’d appreciate any help I can get. Excellent video and info. BTW, I love beef, bacon, butter and eggs, so I think I can do it.
I’ve been going for a month now ,I’ve lost 6 kg I’ve also found I’m naturally intermittent fasting ,eating till I’m full in a 3 hour window between 3 and 6 pm lots of fatty meat ,fatty soup meat ,boil a big pot with onions salt and hole pepper corns pull all the meat off and fry it up in fat with eggs ,strain the onions out and pull the fat off the top and I have a very nice bone broth soup I found this saviour on carnivore ,the first 2 weeks is hard but I spent 2 week s prior transitioning ,it’s getting easier now I’m 60 yo and have no choice ,I’ve tried everything in the last 30 years to no avail I was 120 kg at Christmas ,108 now ,lots of health issues but I’m convinced by other peoples testimony s I’m on the right rd Prayer helps
@@bobwebber2804over the past five years I've studied this diet hard. These people are right. Plants ARE trying to kill you. The Proper Human Diet is just fatty meat. I started carnivore November of last year. Having the luxury of good health and youth I had the time to study this. Rest assured this is the diet EVERY human should be eating
Yes, we were all brainwashed into the high carb, low fat meats, and everyone has gotten everything wrong with them that can happen. I'm so excited that this is out there. I knew that food was there to heal and help. Not pills and shakes. Now we know how to eat and be well! Good luck to anyone trying this lifestyle journey ❣️
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year started the carnivore diet without knowing it was the carnivore diet in 3 months my A1c went from 10.5 to 5.5. I eat all Meats not just beef but also chicken, pork,egss,fish,cheeses & pork rinds.
Haha, I think this everytime I watch Bella, and really have to concentrate on what she is saying. She is so beautiful, full of life, glowing & positive! I want to be like her when I grow up 😅 (I'm old enough to be her mother).
40 years of 'healthy' low fat, high grain eating gave me increasing problems. 2 years WFPB and after early improvements, it all started going down hill. Tried low carb and that became very low carb so now 4+ years keto/carnivore and I'm thriving! I eat fatty beef and lamb, all cuts and cooked in many different ways (as I love cooking and variety), eggs, butter, home made bone broth, and I only use salt, pepper and bay leaves for seasoning. Occasionally I eat fish, and fruits like avocado and olives. My addiction is coffee and cream. I never get bored, I love every meal. I'm 54, lean, athletic looking although I do little exercise and never hungry. Friends think I'm mad yet I'm the only one on no medications with no age related medical issues.
EX- Vegan here. Was vegan for almost 13 years and ended my starvation diet in 2018. Just started my carnivore lifestyle 4 days ago. I’m so hungry, but I eat lots of 🧈 🥩 and 🥚.
Yes I was vegetarian and then went vegan since the late 90s. Switched to carnivore. You want to make sure you get enough fatty meats (add butter if you can tolerate it) in order to feel satiated. I had to eat a lot starting off because my body needed the nutrients from being vegan so long. Then once my body got enough nutrient I was satisfied with a small meal and one full meal a day and something OMAD.
I was vegan too but only for about 6 months. After that I ate only lean chicken and salmon for years. I read Dr. Furman’s book and he scared me away from animal fat and protein. I kept my protein levels extremely low and my very lean. I was having a whole avocado daily but my eating was so deficient in meat and meat fat. When my health was terrible and I desperately tried carnivore over four years ago I was starving for fatty meat! My first meal was fatty chicken thighs and I ate a lot! I felt amazing! I ate around 3-4 pounds of fatty meat in the beginning and lost all inflammation and gained no weight. Now I eat 1-2 pounds of meat and fat. Your body will thank you and love your new way of life!❤️👍
Do you mind me asking why you were on a starvation diet when vegan? What led to you not meeting your calorie needs? I am not vegan btw, just an inquisitive comments lurker haha!
I used to be a very strict (nothing with a face) vegan. So strict in fact that I was literally eating mostly lettuce. I was sick with a cold for a couple of months - doctor took one look at me and asked if I was a drug addict. We spoke, told him about my diet and he ran my bloods and had me wait for the results in the waiting room. Preliminary results came back and suffice to say, the conversation was start eating meat or you're going to die. I was severely vitamin deficient and my body started showing it. I reintroduced chicken, fish and eggs and cheese and started to get better. I used to think that vegan was best and it really isn't.
Pro tip; I buy from my local butcher beef fat (it is extremely cheap), in a small stew pot I render the finely chopped fat into tallow, with a stainless steel strainer separate the collagen bits. Save these for snacks later with salt. The tallow is then my cooking oil and what I like to call a carnivore 'rocket fuel'. This is a great way to up your fat without chewing on a stick of butter.
If your making that much tallow, you should checkout the channel (forget the name) where the lady gives a "recipe" for "mashed potatoes"....hint: it's room temp tallow!! 😅❤
@@corithefrugalflower I saw that video suggested & almost clicked it lol. I'll check it out. I don't even know what tallow is yet. But I have to say, I'm SO HUNGRY all the time 9 weeks into this. I'm starving!
Avoid keto flu by keeping your electrolytes (magnesium, potassium and sodium) topped up. Your body does not retain electrolytes on keto. Just a small glass of water first thing in the morning with a quarter teaspoon of low carb electrolyte powder works for me.
Try an, overnight glass of water mixed with a teaspoon of sea salt and black pepper. Sip on that through the day. Let me know if you notice the results xx@@cinystarr4657
Day 23 on carnivore. Feeling energetic and strong, I wake up refreshed and ready to seize the day 💪 I love eating eggs, salmon and fatty steaks! Enjoying a variety of meat has really helped me stay on course. Whoever is doing the carnivore diet, go ahead and pat yourself on the back!!
I did full strict plant based for 2 years. I had some of the worst body odor, rash popping up in unmentioned areas. I finally went back to the American Diet of eat what I love sugars etc. now fully carnivore since the day before Jan 7 2024 and I feel better than when I did at the best shape of my life better than during my 20s while in Marines. I have so much energy, clarity, and healing is amazing, recently got a cold from my kid and it was gone in 12 hours. I will never go back.
I started the Carnivore lifestyle exactly a year ago today. I'm currently 53 years old and have been type 2 diabetic for a long time. I worked out 5 days a week thinking that would help me. Nope. I switched to Carnivore and in the last year I have removed a ton of visceral fat and subcutaneous fat and gained almost 30 pounds of lean muscle. I don't waste time doing cardio I just do weight training and I go very heavy at times. My A1C a year ago was 10.1. Currently my A1C is 4.4. I wish I would have learned about the Carnivore lifestyle years ago but everything happens for a reason.
Vegetarian for 25 years! I had success on Keto for the last 8 years but menopause and probably keto treats were making me gain. Now it’s been only 2 weeks on carnivore and I’ve already gone from an xl to a large. I have been eating, but I don’t feel hungry at all
I bought this book a few months ago and it has helped me with many things. I see you posted a video where people can buy that book on your channel. Thank u so much for helping us
Started carnivore 3 days ago. I've gone all in on variety. Not just beef, butter and eggs, but also liver, chicken, pork, bacon and even snails. I could never make a lion diet work; that takes way more willpower than I could possibly muster. Being a carnivore in Nigeria is difficult and quite expensive, but I'm committed to the journey and so far I feel great. Let's see how it goes!
Hi everyone Bella my dearest as you may remember it's been 3 months and 2 weeks since I started carnivore start weight was 358lbs I can amazingly say that I just weighed myself last night and I am now 228lbs WOW I was struggling with the #2 movement for 4 years eating meat changed the struggle but little did I know that the change in discomfort was just part of the process into improvement and there has been much in This area thanks so much for your support and all of your determination for health and wellness love you so much Chow ❤
Slowly adapting to carnivore. I do not plan to go full carnivore, but I will just eat meat for meals most meals. I was brainwashed into having so many sides with a meal. Just removing them and filling my plate with meat has completely removed my depression, anxiety and lowered my A1C significantly. On top of all that when I take walks I get the urge to run which I havn't had the urge to do since I was 19 years old. Even just lowering plant consumption and increasing meat consumption has changed my life.
Perhaps keto could be for you. I am carnivore, but take a look at Dr Eric Westman. He runs keto for diabetics and is pretty supportive of carnivore as well. He has some excellent information about keto and and its a great alternative to carnivore if you don't want to go full on lion. Do what suits you mate.
There's Dr. Ken Berry, who has talked about sprinting to help the carnivore lifestyle. He, of course, is not the only one to bring that up. You've done an amazing change for yourself!
Tried carnivore diet for a couple of months. However, I found myself still crave for sugar but in moderation. Now, as I binge watch your videos, I get inspired again to continue what I've started. Thanks Bella. 💖 Liezel from the Philippines
Potassium magnesium and Himalayan pink salt will help a lot in giving up carbohydrate cravings, When you feel like eating carbohydrates. make scrambled eggs with animal fat and salt, your addiction asking for sugar provides you with real nutrition, that's how I managed to give up carbohydrates, Hope this helps
WOW, this is the first time I've heard anyone really address these pitfalls and I have to say, no wonder I've been struggling so much with Carnivore!!! Thanks, you have may have saved my life, I was seriously thinking about quitting.
I've been a "Butter Gal" my whole life. My Mom used to have to scold me for getting into the butter nearly every day, until our family embraced the margarine/oleo propaganda and changed everything. At school I would get as much butter as I could and pack my bread down with it because I still craved butter, and I think salt too.
Same!!! It was always butter whenever I could get my hands on it and margarine at the house was my worst nightmare. If I had a penny every time people told me I'd die of a heart attack for the way I ate butter my whole life.. Smh. Well I'm 46 now and my vascular health remains stellar 🙏😍
Interesting! My Russian language teacher told me that Russian will give their children a stick of butter a day during the wintertime to help them stay healthy.
@@gloriaanima3575 Same! I stupidly underwent a certain therapy that I didn't even need 5 years ago and it all but destroyed my nails and hair. Especially my nails. Not a girly girl by any stretch of the imagination, but as an ugly chick, my hair was the one feature I was proud of. I didn't lose it, but it definitely thinned. We just moved and until we get a whole house water filtration system put in, I'm stuck with the chemical-ridden hard af water they have here. It's making my hair dry and dull. And it's thinning even more because of it. As for my nails, I've tried everything from special oils and weekly (at home!) manicures to supplements...nothing works. I'm sick of them peeling and breaking. It's annoying and painful.
Oh GOD even if you see one without sugar, those supermarket rotisserie chickens are the WORST. I'm sure there might be some exception at the best Whole Foods in the best part of town, but those things have been quite consistently been made of the worst quality ingredients money can buy.
My story mirrors yours Bella...I was vegan for 10 years and it nearly killed me. I have been carnivore since September 2022. Feeling much better and continue to recover.
Your carnivore advice was wonderful, but your playing at the end was thrilling and completely warmed my heart...thank you both for your piano performance/sharing!!!
You did a marvelous job of explaining some issues about the carnivore diet. I have been on this lifestyle for two months and feeling much less pain in my joints. I can't imagine ever going back to the standard American diet
Over 8 months 99.9% carnivore. At the start i thought you and other carnivore youtubers were full of crap but it was worth a shot. 300ish lvs doen to 200ish lbs. Now i think ill never go back.
Hi, Bella! Thank you for all the info & support you put out for us. It is so encouraging! I am now 6 months in on this journey. At 76 y/o, I am down by 72 lbs, & feel great! That includes 5 months of keto before discovering cv. Your sharing & encouragement is such a blessing.
Ex vegan here - was 15+ years, and honestly loved it!!! But, health (which I started vegan for), became the exact reason I'm not vegan, and doing keto now. I finished 3 days on water, transitioning into keto (not sure for how long), and hope to transition into carnivore. Feeling great so far! Thanks for you vids ❤
For anyone who says I was never vegan to begin with - after the first 2 years being vegan for my health - I was die hard about animals rights advocacy after watching Food Inc... Unfortunately, I was so die hard, the idea of being any different has probably shortened my lifespan. I wasn't on processed junk food - I was whole foods, and lots of supplements!!!! Doing all the things. Sure, some of my health issues are probably still from auto immune issues I had prior to being vegan - but, I still do have them! Ready to try and cut out everything, and really get some healing ❤ Humans are animals, too. And, I have a lot of reasons to want to live as long, and healthy as possible.
They may even raise blood sugar even though they don't have sugar in them. That will cause an insulin release and stop weight loss... good reminder for me to test my blood sugar after having my new sugar free gum. I haven't been loosing weight, so maybe that's it. So glad we can test.
@@nleem3361 If you look on the package it may say erythritol. That is an achiral meso four carbon sugar synthesized from corn using enzymes and fermentation.
@@nleem3361 false.. i never had my blood glucose move even one iota when consuming stevia, monk fruit and allulose. anyone with a blood glucose monitor will confirm.
15 days now, just beef, salt and water. On the first day I ate eggs and it made me feel bad, so no more eggs. I'm 51 and I have SIBO, leaky gut, and fatty liver disease and an extra 80 plus pounds. I'm noticing less pain in my joints, almost no cravings, I've lost 15 lbs. I eat about 2 lbs of beef a day and I feel stuffed. We buy our steers from a local farmer and have been doing this for over a year. The local farmer feeds his steer alfalfa and non GMO corn... The beef is great, tastes wonderful. I'm sticking with this until I'm thin and healthy.
I lost 53lbs in one year. stopped the SAD diet and did keto. after 3 months of keto i started doing carnivore. I weighed 253lbs and dropped to 217 and stayed at 217 for about 6 months. it was then i started doing intermittent fasting and after about 2 months i dropped down to 205lbs. it was never about weight loss but about addressing health issues. but - for me - intermittent fasting was the key + keto to so much energy, focus, stamina and far better blood work results! I still have hypertension which is strange after losing 53lbs but I feel GREAT every day! I'm not tired all day long.
You’ve been a huge inspiration to me. I am finally getting my life back from the grips of ME/CFS. I even started my own channel to share my carnivore journey with the invisibly ill.
@@The_ME_Lion thanks, I have subscribed! I recovered without changing my diet in any significant way. I used to suffer from major fatigue and was house-bound for more than a year, with crashes for days after even minor activities. I am now back to an active life which I appreciate in a different way now. I don't take it for granted anymore. I missed so much and now I am taking it all in again. Feels so amazing to be able to do what I want to do. Best of luck!! I believe there is a way out for all of us. Mine was via something similar to "biological decoding" which was crucial in my personal case.
I'm on my sixth month carnivore. I started off Lion diet...I've tried everything people have said from increasing fats, eating more (and gained 8 pounds, much to my dismay), I don't snack, have no cravings or desire. I am back to just OMAD and that's fine for me. I'm to the point now I'll just stick with one meal and hopefully at some point, my body will adjust and the 60 lbs I want to lose will start coming of. I go for long walks every day mixed with intermittent jogging as well. Dr. Kiltz said to up the protein, so been doing that too. I discouraged to say the least but I am not going to stop being carnivore.
Stick with it!! I’m two years into carnivore and I’m so very glad I found this way of eating. It took a while for me to notice any weight loss when I first started, but I could feel myself feeling better. From what I’m gathering, my body was healing itself before shedding excess weight. I stuck with it and it just worked best for me with my schedule to do OMAD, all of a sudden without making any changes, I just started losing weight. I lost 50 pounds and have kept it off! I also drink quite a lot of water, not sure if that helps, but I feel like it did 🤷🏻♀️ I make sure my one meal is a good filling meal so I’m not under eating. Good luck to you!!!
@@JodyYoung-wy5sw Wow, thanks for sharing that! How long was it before the weight started coming off? I have to drink a lot of water because I have/had CKD, which the last blood work I had done the NP said my kidney's were 'normal'...but I see the nephrologist later this month, so will see what she says...I was hoping it was because I was healing, that would be great but I want the 60 lbs off too. I do prefer OMAD myself and try not to eat that after 4 or 5 p.m.
One thing that helped me lose was drinking Apple cider vinegar and lemon and Redmond salt I use it for electrolytes but it helps burn fat too I tried LMNT but it’s too expensive. This works for me and it really helps the digestive system too. I have been on carnivore for two years and it is amazing. But everybody’s different you have to figure out what works for you.
@@JodyYoung-wy5sw. I drink a gallon of spring water a day w/40gr of celtic seasalt. It cleanses & hydrates at the cellular level. Vegans are very dehydrated... I code amap into my videos on my chan...
I have 500 grams for grilled chicken/lamb/fish for lunch at 2pm & 6egg protein shake at 8pm. That's 1300 calories, 130-140 grams protein. I got the meat sweats, lost weight, cured hypothyroidism & pcos, skin, hair & nails improved beyond meaure, got tonnes of energy & I'm always in the best mood. Don't need any multivitamins or supplements. I've never been so productive! I've been following you since the beginning on insta & it's like you're ageing in reverse! Since then, I have gradually transitioned from vegan to carnivore. You're truly an inspiration! Thank you & God bless you Bella! 💕
@@Finn959 Yeah, they're real. Initially for about 6 months when I went carnivore, I began to experience excessive sweating even while sleeping & it stank! I had to shower twice daily. Now I hardly sweat & even if I do, it never stinks. I don't need deo or talc. I've stopped using serums, lotions & I just use sunscreen. Don't even need collagen peptides. Half of my stretch marks are gone. I hope to glow like Bella one day soon!
I was vegan. I gained my health back for over 6 months. Then my eyesight got blurry, and i got brain fog. I switched back to eggs meat and milk. My vision improved, and my brain fog went away.
@AB-dz7lo Cooked vegetables, then slowly, i moved to raw vegetables. Washed thoroughly and blended to a smoothie. Only used olive oil. Raw carrots, cooked tofu. Celery, cooked rice, raw bok choy, lettuce, asian broccoli, mystard green, cooked bok choy, cooked beans, mushrooms, all these were on sale and cheap. No yogurt. No butter, no salt, no sugar. Over time, i developed brain fog and blurry vision. And i was always hungry. And my joints hurt.
Another superb video Bella. I have learned so much from you, I can't thank you enough. The way you come across on camera is just perfect and the information is always invaluable. I'm 8 days into my carnivore journey and already noticing various positive changes to my mind and body. I couldn't have had this realisation without the likes of you. Thank you for helping people the way you do 💖 P.s your piano skills are incredible 😎
@@SteakandButterGal Hello bella, here is a very good vd from former sick vegans who now feel they were brain washed into the vegan cu. lT and realize that they became very sick from eating just veggies. Now eat meat/fish/eggs etc vd titled: When Vegans STOP being Delusional and START Eating Meat #2 on channel Kent Carnivore
One great boots to basic carnivore is to add lemon juice (and or vinegar) in the form of one-yolk one-minute hollandaise. Great on eggs (especially poached) or steak.
Search for chentiangemalc's One Minute One Egg Hollandaise Sauce video (it is worth the watch): 4 Tblsp butter, 1 egg yolk, 2 tsp lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp water. Butter in microwavable bowl, 12s , add lemon, water, yolk, stir. Zap for 8s, stir. Repeat until it thickens (not more that 1m total). Something like that (that's how I do it, but I also change it up a little: 5 Tblsp butter, skip the water and use all lemon juice or some vinegar. You can add thyme, fresh or dried, too).
The problem with production beef that you see in the grocery store is corn and silage fed. You can see the difference in the color of the fat. Grass fed beef has fat that is yellow or tan in color. Beef fed from a feed lot has fat that is as white as cotton sheets. Huge nutritional differences and lack of taste are the differences I see. It's been reported that production beef is high in omega 6 fatty acid where in comparison grass fed beef is high in omega 3 and lower in omega 6.
We are 60 and have being doing the Carnivore diet, we both lost 22 lbs in the first 6 weeks. We find we have lots of energy and our digestive system is working way better.
I started this Canivore diet and yes it’s not easy since I have a few health issues I am ready to join your group so I can thrive! Thank you Bella for all the good information you give us! You are amazing!🤩
Had gastric bypass about 8 yrs ago. I eat more than in the beginning but still cannot eat the amounts i see other carnivores eating, its impossible. Ive been on a ketovore then carnivore journey nearly a year with a few short flub ups. Have only lost 30lbs total. I'm so depressed by this. Just turned 67, have heart issue, arthritis everywhere and fibromyalgia. I truly want and need to get to a healthier weight and would like pain relief. I love when you play the piano, thankyou for that
Thank you! This makes a lot of sense! I started carnivore last July, but it just seemed like it was mainly guys that did well on it. Thank you for addressing so many factors!
Tried your Flanken Rib recipe.... place on a cookie sheet, bake for 45 mins at 375. Whoa, way too tough for me. Soooooo... I browned them in the oven at 425 for 20 minutes, turning them over at 10 mins. Then I put them in my dutch oven with salt and pepper and just enough water to barely cover them , covered, and roasted for 3 hours at 300 degrees. Wow, so tender, so tasty and the broth was amazingly good. Delicious cold too. Easy to make a huge batch this way and so much more tender.
I can’t get over putting a teaspoon of honey into my plunger coffee 😅 and that damn ice cream! I’ve lost 3kg’s but omfg I can’t believe you ate 48x eggs a day 😱 girl you shocked me. Then the greatest at the end you playing the piano!!!! ❤❤❤❤ Love it 🎉
I have been strict keto for the first 3 years of my journey of reversing T2Diabetes. It worked and I was considered not diabetic within 5 months by lab results. Unfortunately I slowly started introducing carbs and have gained back 25 of the 65lbs that I originally lost. At this point I’m not looking forward to gaining any more weight. I do think I’d like to try the carnivore diet. Hopefully, I won’t gain any and instead lose🙏🏻
I've been Carnivore for 8 weeks now. I have only lost 5 lbs. However, my hair is no longer falling out and my arthritis pain is down 80%. So I am happy about that. I was was doing cheese and yogurt first but then realized it makes me feel bad. I feel best when I eat steak and butter and pasture raised eggs. I don't understand how you can eat as much as you do. I might be able to eat one NY steak or Ribeye per day and a few eggs and butter but that is it. I am just flat out not hungry. But I keep hearing that I am not eating enough.
I really enjoyed your great information and look forward hearing more. I am a 76 yr old overweight with thyroid, high blood pressure with neuropathy in both legs, i have just started the carnivore diet and am looking forward to improving my health. It’s a little difficult as I am a US citizen in the Philippines.
just got my LMNT thanks to you and WOW I love it the orange salt is amazing in 16 oz of water and taste like lemonade sooooooo good . thank you for all that you do. I love your channel. I cant wait to try the chocolate salt in the morning in my coffee!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much. I will share with my husband. He is having some trouble sleeping. I just love when you end the cast with your beautiful pianist gift. Very fun seeing Steak and Butter Guy sharing his artistry as well. My favorite was the duet you played together. Es muy divertido ❤
My experience is that women around are having trouble with single tast food. For myself I ate beef, salt and water for close to a year and still not tired of it. I did lose 90 lbs. we have to get out of the way of thinking that eating is a party but it’s just a way to survive.
Newly diagnosed T2D, 100 lbs morbidly obese, on 02 July 24. 03July24 started carnivore diet and OMAD. Today, after 74 days, with 2 cheat days, I’ve lost 51 lbs.. My hypertension is now a normal BP. My urination every 15 mins has changed to every couple of hours and more related to how much water I consume. I feel better. My joints don’t hurt all the time. I can see better, breathe better and think better. I read faster and comprehend more. I dress and exercise easier. My clothes sizing is ridiculous…pants and belts are way too big. Now, I’m still too fat, have 50 lbs more to lose; but, things are improving. Thanks for the help…from east Tennessee.
Checking my bp daily as it was high enough (very high) for my dr to double my meds. I didn’t take the stronger ones long because the side effects were awful. Not even 3weeks into carnivore and today my bp was 112/65. I was blown away. Can’t wait to get off the lower dose now. This was a great talk Bella thank you. PS.. was on keto for 3years up until carnivore so the zero carbs or lack of oxalates has definitely made a difference
When she said "yes i gained 48 lbs, i almost gagged. Im trying to lose more than 48 lbs not gain 48. But after seeing the comments on this post, imma give it a shot since these are the foods i like the most & yall are achieving the results i want. Thanks steak & butter crew!
Oh wow, I didn't know Steak and Butter Guy was a pianist, too! Did you two meet in college? Also, I'm so grateful to have found your channel and to be part of the Steak and Butter Gang. It has been so incredibly helpful. 🙏
I just had to break down and go get a prescription for allopurinol for my continued gout that I was hoping carnivore would cure. Many people say it has. Been carnivore for two and a half months and can’t shake the gout. I’m going to take the medication and continue eating this way because I love it and I’m stronger and lighter. My uric acid was 7.1 today, but many people say that eventually theirs went down. Fingers crossed. My BP was 116/76. I’m 52.
Carnivore on Jan 3rd. From 275 to 240 in nine weeks. Hardest craving night time sweet, but that now has passed. I do a lot of meal planning to keep on track. Ill do chicken thighs once a month. I know a WWII POW, upon his liberation and placed on an American ship, he asked for and consumed 2 sticks of butter. He stated he craved that more than any other food item. Sweets were sickly to him for many years.
I'm a month in to carnivore and my appetite is still high.. I only eat once a day since I'm a truck driver, but when I do eat, i eat a lot! Ex. 2- 1.5" ribeyes and a new york steak in one go.. no salt or seasoning, just the meat and water.. i also drink LMNT every morning. Still get tired during night driving.. going that fades soon. Started at 310lbs and currently at 297lbs
I was also having high blood pressure Issues. There been some improvement in that area. I mostly have been eating beef and eggs. I always used lots of spices in my foods, and I miss that.
Enjoying my OMAD = 6 eggs, 1/2 a pack of bacon (Sometimes I get the 12 oz. package, sometimes the 16 oz.) and 1 slice of sharp cheddar! I use Alllulose as a sweetner. Snacks? Flavored Spicy meatballs! Hamburger or chicken. Make 2 of each "flavor". Enjoy.
That probably isn't enough protein. You're getting maybe 120 grams of protein. Do you weigh 150 pounds? Because that's the amount of protein for someone young who only weighs 150 pounds. If you're older, you need at least 1 to 1.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight for optimum health. Try substituting the bacon with 8 ounces of solid red meat 3 or 4 times a week. Many carnivores eat a full pound of meat and up to a dozen eggs for OMAD, so don't be stingy with yourself. Since you snack, you may want to do two meals a day; it's easier for a lot of us to get adequate protein with two meals. I personally couldn't eat it all in one meal.
Beautiful person, beautiful piano player Thank you for your videos Im only 6 days of carnivor born and raised in a bakery, love my carbs, i got tired of feeling like i was 9 months pregnant with my bloated stomach using LMNT just had 2 days of the tiredness flu like symptoms. Im 65 not sure im eating enough just 2 meals but i feel good i am a practicing fasting person so i will keep watching i love at least 2 different types of meat per meal ❤

A man of few works, but awesome results!! 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Six months ago, Doctors didn’t expect me to survive a double brain bleed, a stroke and a 200 mile plane ride in a blizzard. Saw the Doctor who put me on that plane yesterday and she was amazed that I was not only upright and fit at age 68, but have full function. I’ve been doing ketovore with intermittent fasting for nearly a year now, eating mostly animal products but some salads. God and the diet are why I’m still here. It works for nearly everything that ails you!
You certainly had a great motivator..
I’m 10 years your junior but recently changed my diet for the better. BBBE right now and 3 wks in I can feel and see the changes!
I’ve always had my faith but find myself needing more lately. I need that spiritual connection everyday. Need to make time for it.
❤❤❤😊 they say it is not the trip, but the journey… sometimes it is being lost in a white out… with all the dietary white noise. I ask my self how can I assume I have any intelligence when I cannot understand what I should eat.😮
So, God had nothing to do with you almost not being here but had something to do with you being here? Does God give you enough common sense to understand that makes no sense?

Recently retired vascular access specialist, because of back injury and obesity. For decades I tried everything, and of course was steered away from red meat and fat. Imagine my surprise when I found yours and others channels, showed such great results! I’m addicted to carbs and 150+ lbs overweight. I’m going to try this in order to get my life back. I’d appreciate any help I can get. Excellent video and info. BTW, I love beef, bacon, butter and eggs, so I think I can do it.
I’ve been going for a month now ,I’ve lost 6 kg I’ve also found I’m naturally intermittent fasting ,eating till I’m full in a 3 hour window between 3 and 6 pm lots of fatty meat ,fatty soup meat ,boil a big pot with onions salt and hole pepper corns pull all the meat off and fry it up in fat with eggs ,strain the onions out and pull the fat off the top and I have a very nice bone broth soup I found this saviour on carnivore ,the first 2 weeks is hard but I spent 2 week s prior transitioning ,it’s getting easier now
I’m 60 yo and have no choice ,I’ve tried everything in the last 30 years to no avail I was 120 kg at Christmas ,108 now ,lots of health issues but I’m convinced by other peoples testimony s I’m on the right rd
Prayer helps
@@bobwebber2804over the past five years I've studied this diet hard. These people are right. Plants ARE trying to kill you. The Proper Human Diet is just fatty meat. I started carnivore November of last year. Having the luxury of good health and youth I had the time to study this. Rest assured this is the diet EVERY human should be eating
Yes, we were all brainwashed into the high carb, low fat meats, and everyone has gotten everything wrong with them that can happen. I'm so excited that this is out there. I knew that food was there to heal and help. Not pills and shakes. Now we know how to eat and be well! Good luck to anyone trying this lifestyle journey ❣️
Check out all the Dr.s who eat carnivore. e.g. Dr. Chaffee, Dr. Ken Berry, etc. Lots of great support and info. Good luck!
Yes my appetite has reduced I am still more active than I wad before Carnivore 3 weeks in Rich waterford pa
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year started the carnivore diet without knowing it was the carnivore diet in 3 months my A1c went from 10.5 to 5.5. I eat all Meats not just beef but also chicken, pork,egss,fish,cheeses & pork rinds.
Awesome achievement.
Perfect!!!
Awesome. My wife is type 1 and has reduced her insulin use by HALF!! Keep it up !! Great news
@@matthewharvey9779 I wish my diabetic friends would try Carnivore!
Try also goat.
One of most natural meats.
Your gorgeous, healthy glowing appearance is the best advertisement for the Carnivore Diet!
Haha, I think this everytime I watch Bella, and really have to concentrate on what she is saying. She is so beautiful, full of life, glowing & positive! I want to be like her when I grow up 😅 (I'm old enough to be her mother).
Hard to imagine she ever had acne, her skin is perfect
Haven't you got that backwards? It's vegetables that improve skin tone. She's as white as a ghost.
40 years of 'healthy' low fat, high grain eating gave me increasing problems.
2 years WFPB and after early improvements, it all started going down hill.
Tried low carb and that became very low carb so now 4+ years keto/carnivore and I'm thriving! I eat fatty beef and lamb, all cuts and cooked in many different ways (as I love cooking and variety), eggs, butter, home made bone broth, and I only use salt, pepper and bay leaves for seasoning. Occasionally I eat fish, and fruits like avocado and olives. My addiction is coffee and cream. I never get bored, I love every meal.
I'm 54, lean, athletic looking although I do little exercise and never hungry. Friends think I'm mad yet I'm the only one on no medications with no age related medical issues.
EX- Vegan here. Was vegan for almost 13 years and ended my starvation diet in 2018. Just started my carnivore lifestyle 4 days ago. I’m so hungry, but I eat lots of 🧈 🥩 and 🥚.
Keep going! In 4 weeks you'll feel so great!
Yes I was vegetarian and then went vegan since the late 90s. Switched to carnivore. You want to make sure you get enough fatty meats (add butter if you can tolerate it) in order to feel satiated. I had to eat a lot starting off because my body needed the nutrients from being vegan so long. Then once my body got enough nutrient I was satisfied with a small meal and one full meal a day and something OMAD.
I was vegan too but only for about 6 months. After that I ate only lean chicken and salmon for years. I read Dr. Furman’s book and he scared me away from animal fat and protein. I kept my protein levels extremely low and my very lean. I was having a whole avocado daily but my eating was so deficient in meat and meat fat. When my health was terrible and I desperately tried carnivore over four years ago I was starving for fatty meat! My first meal was fatty chicken thighs and I ate a lot! I felt amazing! I ate around 3-4 pounds of fatty meat in the beginning and lost all inflammation and gained no weight. Now I eat 1-2 pounds of meat and fat.
Your body will thank you and love your new way of life!❤️👍
Keep it up! I have faith in you and you’ll feel so much better!
Do you mind me asking why you were on a starvation diet when vegan? What led to you not meeting your calorie needs? I am not vegan btw, just an inquisitive comments lurker haha!
I used to be a very strict (nothing with a face) vegan. So strict in fact that I was literally eating mostly lettuce. I was sick with a cold for a couple of months - doctor took one look at me and asked if I was a drug addict. We spoke, told him about my diet and he ran my bloods and had me wait for the results in the waiting room. Preliminary results came back and suffice to say, the conversation was start eating meat or you're going to die. I was severely vitamin deficient and my body started showing it. I reintroduced chicken, fish and eggs and cheese and started to get better. I used to think that vegan was best and it really isn't.
Great video! About 3 weeks into carnivore and found my appetite is reduced. Anyone else have this happen?
What are you eating generally?
Me! I am on day eight and reduced appetite
@ConnieB17 that's what I was thinking. And Def a certified thicc Boi so thank you, I'm not as worried!
Yeah it freaked me out I didn't eat for days😅
This is quite normal. Meat is very dense, make sure you don’t under eat
Pro tip; I buy from my local butcher beef fat (it is extremely cheap), in a small stew pot I render the finely chopped fat into tallow, with a stainless steel strainer separate the collagen bits. Save these for snacks later with salt. The tallow is then my cooking oil and what I like to call a carnivore 'rocket fuel'.
This is a great way to up your fat without chewing on a stick of butter.
If your making that much tallow, you should checkout the channel (forget the name) where the lady gives a "recipe" for "mashed potatoes"....hint: it's room temp tallow!! 😅❤
@@corithefrugalflower I saw that video suggested & almost clicked it lol. I'll check it out. I don't even know what tallow is yet. But I have to say, I'm SO HUNGRY all the time 9 weeks into this. I'm starving!
@cinystarr4657 tallow is cooked or "rendered" beef fat. It's salty & delicious! 👌😋
Avoid keto flu by keeping your electrolytes (magnesium, potassium and sodium) topped up. Your body does not retain electrolytes on keto. Just a small glass of water first thing in the morning with a quarter teaspoon of low carb electrolyte powder works for me.
Try an, overnight glass of water mixed with a teaspoon of sea salt and black pepper. Sip on that through the day. Let me know if you notice the results xx@@cinystarr4657
Day 23 on carnivore. Feeling energetic and strong, I wake up refreshed and ready to seize the day 💪 I love eating eggs, salmon and fatty steaks! Enjoying a variety of meat has really helped me stay on course. Whoever is doing the carnivore diet, go ahead and pat yourself on the back!!
salmon mmm
Have you lost weight
@@ironsoul80mackeral and sardines too
I did full strict plant based for 2 years. I had some of the worst body odor, rash popping up in unmentioned areas. I finally went back to the American Diet of eat what I love sugars etc. now fully carnivore since the day before Jan 7 2024 and I feel better than when I did at the best shape of my life better than during my 20s while in Marines. I have so much energy, clarity, and healing is amazing, recently got a cold from my kid and it was gone in 12 hours. I will never go back.
I started the Carnivore lifestyle exactly a year ago today. I'm currently 53 years old and have been type 2 diabetic for a long time. I worked out 5 days a week thinking that would help me. Nope. I switched to Carnivore and in the last year I have removed a ton of visceral fat and subcutaneous fat and gained almost 30 pounds of lean muscle. I don't waste time doing cardio I just do weight training and I go very heavy at times. My A1C a year ago was 10.1. Currently my A1C is 4.4. I wish I would have learned about the Carnivore lifestyle years ago but everything happens for a reason.
YES!
Nice change for you!
Vegetarian for 25 years! I had success on Keto for the last 8 years but menopause and probably keto treats were making me gain. Now it’s been only 2 weeks on carnivore and I’ve already gone from an xl to a large. I have been eating, but I don’t feel hungry at all
I recommend everyone to find the book titled Unlocking Carnivore Potential ; it goes deep into all of this, and it changed my life
I bought this book a few months ago and it has helped me with many things. I see you posted a video where people can buy that book on your channel. Thank u so much for helping us

@@yomomma4261 I said where, on joepiker's account.
Started carnivore 3 days ago.
I've gone all in on variety. Not just beef, butter and eggs, but also liver, chicken, pork, bacon and even snails. I could never make a lion diet work; that takes way more willpower than I could possibly muster.
Being a carnivore in Nigeria is difficult and quite expensive, but I'm committed to the journey and so far I feel great. Let's see how it goes!
Hi everyone Bella my dearest as you may remember it's been 3 months and 2 weeks since I started carnivore start weight was 358lbs I can amazingly say that I just weighed myself last night and I am now 228lbs WOW I was struggling with the #2 movement for 4 years eating meat changed the struggle but little did I know that the change in discomfort was just part of the process into improvement and there has been much in This area thanks so much for your support and all of your determination for health and wellness love you so much Chow ❤
Wow wow wow! 🎉
Congratulations 🎈
What an inspiration for others! Never look back!
Stay accountable
Slowly adapting to carnivore. I do not plan to go full carnivore, but I will just eat meat for meals most meals. I was brainwashed into having so many sides with a meal. Just removing them and filling my plate with meat has completely removed my depression, anxiety and lowered my A1C significantly. On top of all that when I take walks I get the urge to run which I havn't had the urge to do since I was 19 years old. Even just lowering plant consumption and increasing meat consumption has changed my life.
Perhaps keto could be for you. I am carnivore, but take a look at Dr Eric Westman. He runs keto for diabetics and is pretty supportive of carnivore as well. He has some excellent information about keto and and its a great alternative to carnivore if you don't want to go full on lion. Do what suits you mate.
There's Dr. Ken Berry, who has talked about sprinting to help the carnivore lifestyle. He, of course, is not the only one to bring that up. You've done an amazing change for yourself!
If that stunningly healthy glow doesn't convince you, IDK what will. Bella is such a testament to the lifestyle. Great video!
She’s still wearing make up. But still facts are facts
4 weeks in and 11 pounds down and energy is soaring 😊
Tried carnivore diet for a couple of months. However, I found myself still crave for sugar but in moderation. Now, as I binge watch your videos, I get inspired again to continue what I've started. Thanks Bella. 💖
Liezel from the Philippines
Have you tried Stevia or Monk Fruit as a substitute to make your own Sweets?
Try a parasite cleanse for your sugar cravings. God bless
Sugar addiction can be broken ,it takes longer than 2 weeks for most people ,
Potassium magnesium and Himalayan pink salt will help a lot in giving up carbohydrate cravings,
When you feel like eating carbohydrates. make scrambled eggs with animal fat and salt, your addiction asking for sugar provides you with real nutrition, that's how I managed to give up carbohydrates,
Hope this helps
WOW, this is the first time I've heard anyone really address these pitfalls and I have to say, no wonder I've been struggling so much with Carnivore!!! Thanks, you have may have saved my life, I was seriously thinking about quitting.
I've been a "Butter Gal" my whole life. My Mom used to have to scold me for getting into the butter nearly every day, until our family embraced the margarine/oleo propaganda and changed everything. At school I would get as much butter as I could and pack my bread down with it because I still craved butter, and I think salt too.
Same!!! It was always butter whenever I could get my hands on it and margarine at the house was my worst nightmare. If I had a penny every time people told me I'd die of a heart attack for the way I ate butter my whole life.. Smh. Well I'm 46 now and my vascular health remains stellar 🙏😍
Butter , the more the better.😋
Interesting! My Russian language teacher told me that Russian will give their children a stick of butter a day during the wintertime to help them stay healthy.
Doing great so far. Just made your poached eggs in bone broth soup for breakfast… SO GOOD !!!
Yay ❤️ so glad you love it!!

Next week my goal is to make some bone broth. I’m looking forward to better skin, hair and nails without supplements.
@@gloriaanima3575 Same! I stupidly underwent a certain therapy that I didn't even need 5 years ago and it all but destroyed my nails and hair. Especially my nails. Not a girly girl by any stretch of the imagination, but as an ugly chick, my hair was the one feature I was proud of. I didn't lose it, but it definitely thinned. We just moved and until we get a whole house water filtration system put in, I'm stuck with the chemical-ridden hard af water they have here. It's making my hair dry and dull. And it's thinning even more because of it. As for my nails, I've tried everything from special oils and weekly (at home!) manicures to supplements...nothing works. I'm sick of them peeling and breaking. It's annoying and painful.
Just checked the ingredients of my supermarkets rotisserie chicken and BANG! Sugar, flour, onion all on a supposedly 'plain' roast chicken!
Oh GOD even if you see one without sugar, those supermarket rotisserie chickens are the WORST. I'm sure there might be some exception at the best Whole Foods in the best part of town, but those things have been quite consistently been made of the worst quality ingredients money can buy.
@@NotAffiliated I'm not sure how that compares to England.
Also to be clear, I checked BEFORE I bought it. Luckily. So I didn't buy it.
Are rotisserie chickens fried in oil?
@@mbaxter22nope, it’s roasted on a rotisserie. 😂
@@mbaxter22 not in England. They're cooked in convection ovens.
My story mirrors yours Bella...I was vegan for 10 years and it nearly killed me. I have been carnivore since September 2022. Feeling much better and continue to recover.
Your carnivore advice was wonderful, but your playing at the end was thrilling and completely warmed my heart...thank you both for your piano performance/sharing!!!
Our pleasure! Thank you for the support!!
You did a marvelous job of explaining some issues about the carnivore diet. I have been on this lifestyle for two months and feeling much less pain in my joints. I can't imagine ever going back to the standard American diet
I’m 2days into my carnivore diet! Let’s goooo!!!
How are you feeling? I'm 7 days in 🥩🧂💦
3 months 3 days into carnivore. Down 50LBS. Feel awesome!
Over 8 months 99.9% carnivore. At the start i thought you and other carnivore youtubers were full of crap but it was worth a shot. 300ish lvs doen to 200ish lbs. Now i think ill never go back.
Hi, Bella! Thank you for all the info & support you put out for us. It is so encouraging! I am now 6 months in on this journey. At 76 y/o, I am down by 72 lbs, & feel great! That includes 5 months of keto before discovering cv. Your sharing & encouragement is such a blessing.
How long did it take for weight to drop? 75 yes 4 months in still keto flues and no weight change though various inflammation areas have subsided
Ex vegan here - was 15+ years, and honestly loved it!!! But, health (which I started vegan for), became the exact reason I'm not vegan, and doing keto now.
I finished 3 days on water, transitioning into keto (not sure for how long), and hope to transition into carnivore.
Feeling great so far!
Thanks for you vids ❤
For anyone who says I was never vegan to begin with - after the first 2 years being vegan for my health -
I was die hard about animals rights advocacy after watching Food Inc...
Unfortunately, I was so die hard, the idea of being any different has probably shortened my lifespan. I wasn't on processed junk food -
I was whole foods, and lots of supplements!!!! Doing all the things.
Sure, some of my health issues are probably still from auto immune issues I had prior to being vegan - but, I still do have them!
Ready to try and cut out everything, and really get some healing ❤
Humans are animals, too. And, I have a lot of reasons to want to live as long, and healthy as possible.
Can I ask at which point you noticed your health starting to decline?
The stevia being snuck into things is what fueled my cravings.
They may even raise blood sugar even though they don't have sugar in them. That will cause an insulin release and stop weight loss... good reminder for me to test my blood sugar after having my new sugar free gum. I haven't been loosing weight, so maybe that's it. So glad we can test.
@@nleem3361 If you look on the package it may say erythritol. That is an achiral meso four carbon sugar synthesized from corn using enzymes and fermentation.
Some artificial sweeteners that are stevia also contains maltodextrin, which is absolutely horrible unfortunately.
@@nleem3361 false.. i never had my blood glucose move even one iota when consuming stevia, monk fruit and allulose. anyone with a blood glucose monitor will confirm.
only the powdered stevia contains maltodextrin.. get stevia in liquid form and there is no maltodextrin @@ankoo439
15 days now, just beef, salt and water. On the first day I ate eggs and it made me feel bad, so no more eggs. I'm 51 and I have SIBO, leaky gut, and fatty liver disease and an extra 80 plus pounds. I'm noticing less pain in my joints, almost no cravings, I've lost 15 lbs. I eat about 2 lbs of beef a day and I feel stuffed. We buy our steers from a local farmer and have been doing this for over a year. The local farmer feeds his steer alfalfa and non GMO corn... The beef is great, tastes wonderful. I'm sticking with this until I'm thin and healthy.
I used to have reactions to eggs as well until I began taking cod liver oil which raised my omega3s & allowed my body to handle eggs with no issues
I lost 53lbs in one year. stopped the SAD diet and did keto. after 3 months of keto i started doing carnivore. I weighed 253lbs and dropped to 217 and stayed at 217 for about 6 months. it was then i started doing intermittent fasting and after about 2 months i dropped down to 205lbs. it was never about weight loss but about addressing health issues. but - for me - intermittent fasting was the key + keto to so much energy, focus, stamina and far better blood work results! I still have hypertension which is strange after losing 53lbs but I feel GREAT every day! I'm not tired all day long.
BEAUTIFUL PIANO PERFORMANCE AT THE END. THANK YOU!!
Day 1 for me. Just ate 7 minutes ago and I was satiated. I'm now hungry again 🤷🏾... thank you for the advice!!!
You’ve been a huge inspiration to me. I am finally getting my life back from the grips of ME/CFS. I even started my own channel to share my carnivore journey with the invisibly ill.
Oh, what's your channel? I had ME/CFS a few years ago, what a nightmare. I am still dealing with some fatigue and would love to follow your journey.
@@Wesenskern My channel is The M.E. Lion. Did you recover because of carnivore?
@@The_ME_Lion thanks, I have subscribed! I recovered without changing my diet in any significant way. I used to suffer from major fatigue and was house-bound for more than a year, with crashes for days after even minor activities. I am now back to an active life which I appreciate in a different way now. I don't take it for granted anymore. I missed so much and now I am taking it all in again. Feels so amazing to be able to do what I want to do. Best of luck!! I believe there is a way out for all of us. Mine was via something similar to "biological decoding" which was crucial in my personal case.
Subbed 🎉
I'm on my sixth month carnivore. I started off Lion diet...I've tried everything people have said from increasing fats, eating more (and gained 8 pounds, much to my dismay), I don't snack, have no cravings or desire. I am back to just OMAD and that's fine for me. I'm to the point now I'll just stick with one meal and hopefully at some point, my body will adjust and the 60 lbs I want to lose will start coming of. I go for long walks every day mixed with intermittent jogging as well. Dr. Kiltz said to up the protein, so been doing that too. I discouraged to say the least but I am not going to stop being carnivore.
You are not alone on that I need to lose 80 lbs and it's just not budging
Stick with it!! I’m two years into carnivore and I’m so very glad I found this way of eating. It took a while for me to notice any weight loss when I first started, but I could feel myself feeling better. From what I’m gathering, my body was healing itself before shedding excess weight. I stuck with it and it just worked best for me with my schedule to do OMAD, all of a sudden without making any changes, I just started losing weight. I lost 50 pounds and have kept it off! I also drink quite a lot of water, not sure if that helps, but I feel like it did 🤷🏻♀️
I make sure my one meal is a good filling meal so I’m not under eating. Good luck to you!!!
@@JodyYoung-wy5sw Wow, thanks for sharing that! How long was it before the weight started coming off? I have to drink a lot of water because I have/had CKD, which the last blood work I had done the NP said my kidney's were 'normal'...but I see the nephrologist later this month, so will see what she says...I was hoping it was because I was healing, that would be great but I want the 60 lbs off too. I do prefer OMAD myself and try not to eat that after 4 or 5 p.m.
One thing that helped me lose was drinking Apple cider vinegar and lemon and Redmond salt
I use it for electrolytes but it helps burn fat too
I tried LMNT but it’s too expensive. This works for me and it really helps the digestive system too.
I have been on carnivore for two years and it is amazing. But everybody’s different you have to figure out what works for you.
@@JodyYoung-wy5sw. I drink a gallon of spring water a day w/40gr of celtic seasalt. It cleanses & hydrates at the cellular level. Vegans are very dehydrated...
I code amap into my videos on my chan...
I have 500 grams for grilled chicken/lamb/fish for lunch at 2pm & 6egg protein shake at 8pm. That's 1300 calories, 130-140 grams protein. I got the meat sweats, lost weight, cured hypothyroidism & pcos, skin, hair & nails improved beyond meaure, got tonnes of energy & I'm always in the best mood. Don't need any multivitamins or supplements. I've never been so productive! I've been following you since the beginning on insta & it's like you're ageing in reverse! Since then, I have gradually transitioned from vegan to carnivore. You're truly an inspiration! Thank you & God bless you Bella! 💕
Meat sweats?
@@Finn959 Yeah, they're real. Initially for about 6 months when I went carnivore, I began to experience excessive sweating even while sleeping & it stank! I had to shower twice daily. Now I hardly sweat & even if I do, it never stinks. I don't need deo or talc. I've stopped using serums, lotions & I just use sunscreen. Don't even need collagen peptides. Half of my stretch marks are gone. I hope to glow like Bella one day soon!
@@Nocturnal_Lorena oh glad i dont get those. I'm in my 5th week and so far carnivore is pretty disappointing. Who's your profile pic?
Not sweating is not a good thing thats how your sypposed to detox how much salt you eating you need lots of it@Nocturnal_Lorena
@momof2al, Sweat does not “detoxify” anything.
I was vegan. I gained my health back for over 6 months. Then my eyesight got blurry, and i got brain fog. I switched back to eggs meat and milk. My vision improved, and my brain fog went away.
What were you eating before the eggs meat and milk?
@AB-dz7lo Cooked vegetables, then slowly, i moved to raw vegetables. Washed thoroughly and blended to a smoothie. Only used olive oil. Raw carrots, cooked tofu. Celery, cooked rice, raw bok choy, lettuce, asian broccoli, mystard green, cooked bok choy, cooked beans, mushrooms, all these were on sale and cheap. No yogurt. No butter, no salt, no sugar. Over time, i developed brain fog and blurry vision. And i was always hungry. And my joints hurt.
I Love You All. Meat, Butter, lift heavy things. You can not fail
🏋🏼♀🏋🏼♀ Yes!
Just got started 3 weeks ago. Still curious where this is leading me to. Very interesting changes so far. Thanks Bella!

Excellent video Bella! Love the encouragement you give in all of your videos. Thank you for keeping it simple and practical.
You are so welcome! Simple and practical is how I live my carnivore life 🥰👍
One great boots to basic carnivore is to add lemon juice (and or vinegar) in the form of one-yolk one-minute hollandaise. Great on eggs (especially poached) or steak.
Recipe?
Search for chentiangemalc's One Minute One Egg Hollandaise Sauce video (it is worth the watch): 4 Tblsp butter, 1 egg yolk, 2 tsp lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp water. Butter in microwavable bowl, 12s , add lemon, water, yolk, stir. Zap for 8s, stir. Repeat until it thickens (not more that 1m total). Something like that (that's how I do it, but I also change it up a little: 5 Tblsp butter, skip the water and use all lemon juice or some vinegar. You can add thyme, fresh or dried, too).
The problem with production beef that you see in the grocery store is corn and silage fed. You can see the difference in the color of the fat. Grass fed beef has fat that is yellow or tan in color. Beef fed from a feed lot has fat that is as white as cotton sheets. Huge nutritional differences and lack of taste are the differences I see. It's been reported that production beef is high in omega 6 fatty acid where in comparison grass fed beef is high in omega 3 and lower in omega 6.
This all may be true, but I am 77 years old and on a tight budget. I buy what I can afford .
@@carolblair2845 Me too. Thank goodness for discount tables❤️
Yeah I did the math and I can't spend $600+ a month for just beef. Sadly.
Very interesting👍 i guess the same situation is with eggs but even cheaper meat or eggs are better than plants...
@@carolblair2845 - Spot on. Well said. ;-)
We are 60 and have being doing the Carnivore diet, we both lost 22 lbs in the first 6 weeks. We find we have lots of energy and our digestive system is working way better.
I started this Canivore diet and yes it’s not easy since I have a few health issues I am ready to join your group so I can thrive! Thank you Bella for all the good information you give us! You are amazing!🤩
Had gastric bypass about 8 yrs ago. I eat more than in the beginning but still cannot eat the amounts i see other carnivores eating, its impossible. Ive been on a ketovore then carnivore journey nearly a year with a few short flub ups. Have only lost 30lbs total. I'm so depressed by this. Just turned 67, have heart issue, arthritis everywhere and fibromyalgia. I truly want and need to get to a healthier weight and would like pain relief. I love when you play the piano, thankyou for that
Thank you Bella! Great video I just shared with my wife that is starting her carnivore journey
Thank you! This makes a lot of sense! I started carnivore last July, but it just seemed like it was mainly guys that did well on it. Thank you for addressing so many factors!
Started monday. Waiting to see and feel my 30 days results.
I’m a week in . Do you eat cheese or cottage cheese
Both of you are a joy to listen to on the piano!
Finally have to accept that stevia wrecks my gut, EVERY TIME... Sigh. Lovely piano playing! ✨
❤
Yesterday I threw away my Stevia and Monk fruit. I kept thinking maybe I could have a little bit. But I'm thinking I can't have any.
Tried your Flanken Rib recipe.... place on a cookie sheet, bake for 45 mins at 375. Whoa, way too tough for me. Soooooo... I browned them in the oven at 425 for 20 minutes, turning them over at 10 mins. Then I put them in my dutch oven with salt and pepper and just enough water to barely cover them , covered, and roasted for 3 hours at 300 degrees. Wow, so tender, so tasty and the broth was amazingly good. Delicious cold too. Easy to make a huge batch this way and so much more tender.
I can’t get over putting a teaspoon of honey into my plunger coffee 😅 and that damn ice cream! I’ve lost 3kg’s but omfg I can’t believe you ate 48x eggs a day 😱 girl you shocked me. Then the greatest at the end you playing the piano!!!! ❤❤❤❤ Love it 🎉
We can use honey? How?
I have been strict keto for the first 3 years of my journey of reversing T2Diabetes. It worked and I was considered not diabetic within 5 months by lab results.
Unfortunately I slowly started introducing carbs and have gained back 25 of the 65lbs that I originally lost.
At this point I’m not looking forward to gaining any more weight. I do think I’d like to try the carnivore diet. Hopefully, I won’t gain any and instead lose🙏🏻
I encourage you to try it. Sooo many benefits
I feel like I am finally giving my body what it needs to heal and be happy 😊
You are a clear and Excellent Speaker
Thank you both for sharing that little slice of heaven at the end of the vid. Love and blessings to you both good humans!!!
👏🏼🌹💖🥰🫶🏼👍💕
I've been Carnivore for 8 weeks now. I have only lost 5 lbs. However, my hair is no longer falling out and my arthritis pain is down 80%. So I am happy about that. I was was doing cheese and yogurt first but then realized it makes me feel bad. I feel best when I eat steak and butter and pasture raised eggs. I don't understand how you can eat as much as you do. I might be able to eat one NY steak or Ribeye per day and a few eggs and butter but that is it. I am just flat out not hungry. But I keep hearing that I am not eating enough.
You are eating enough if you feel full. Stick with beef, butter and eggs. I love dairy too but it keeps me fat.
Thank you for the concert!
I really enjoyed your great information and look forward hearing more. I am a 76 yr old overweight with thyroid, high blood pressure with neuropathy in both legs, i have just started the carnivore diet and am looking forward to improving my health. It’s a little difficult as I am a US citizen in the Philippines.
just got my LMNT thanks to you and WOW I love it the orange salt is amazing in 16 oz of water and taste like lemonade sooooooo good . thank you for all that you do. I love your channel. I cant wait to try the chocolate salt in the morning in my coffee!!!!!!!!!
Love the piano playing at the end by the both of you. You are truly piano and carnivore soulmates yay! ❤️
Thank you so much. I will share with my husband. He is having some trouble sleeping. I just love when you end the cast with your beautiful pianist gift. Very fun seeing Steak and Butter Guy sharing his artistry as well. My favorite was the duet you played together. Es muy divertido ❤
Ugh, I am carnivore and it has made my sleep worse. I’m still working on that one!
Thanks!
My experience is that women around are having trouble with single tast food. For myself I ate beef, salt and water for close to a year and still not tired of it. I did lose 90 lbs. we have to get out of the way of thinking that eating is a party but it’s just a way to survive.
How much salt ?
@@Littlerobin-cl1nm as much as it tastes good.
Sideline, 5% less salt in your body and you get sick. 10% less salt in your body and you’re dead.
Newly diagnosed T2D, 100 lbs morbidly obese, on 02 July 24. 03July24 started carnivore diet and OMAD. Today, after 74 days, with 2 cheat days, I’ve lost 51 lbs.. My hypertension is now a normal BP. My urination every 15 mins has changed to every couple of hours and more related to how much water I consume. I feel better. My joints don’t hurt all the time. I can see better, breathe better and think better. I read faster and comprehend more. I dress and exercise easier. My clothes sizing is ridiculous…pants and belts are way too big. Now, I’m still too fat, have 50 lbs more to lose; but, things are improving. Thanks for the help…from east Tennessee.
A great reminder and motivation. Thx Bella. 👏
Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
Checking my bp daily as it was high enough (very high) for my dr to double my meds. I didn’t take the stronger ones long because the side effects were awful. Not even 3weeks into carnivore and today my bp was 112/65. I was blown away. Can’t wait to get off the lower dose now. This was a great talk Bella thank you. PS.. was on keto for 3years up until carnivore so the zero carbs or lack of oxalates has definitely made a difference
Day 9 of carnivore and feel 10 years younger
Love it! Wow to the finale!
Glad you enjoyed it!
When she said "yes i gained 48 lbs, i almost gagged. Im trying to lose more than 48 lbs not gain 48. But after seeing the comments on this post, imma give it a shot since these are the foods i like the most & yall are achieving the results i want. Thanks steak & butter crew!
Oh wow, I didn't know Steak and Butter Guy was a pianist, too! Did you two meet in college?
Also, I'm so grateful to have found your channel and to be part of the Steak and Butter Gang. It has been so incredibly helpful. 🙏
Yes, we met in college! Thank you so much!
It's been a year and I am still learning. Once again such helpful information.
Nice piano playing!!!
Thank you very much!
I just had to break down and go get a prescription for allopurinol for my continued gout that I was hoping carnivore would cure. Many people say it has. Been carnivore for two and a half months and can’t shake the gout. I’m going to take the medication and continue eating this way because I love it and I’m stronger and lighter. My uric acid was 7.1 today, but many people say that eventually theirs went down. Fingers crossed. My BP was 116/76. I’m 52.
Thanks Bella! 👍
Any time! 😊
Carnivore on Jan 3rd. From 275 to 240 in nine weeks. Hardest craving night time sweet, but that now has passed. I do a lot of meal planning to keep on track. Ill do chicken thighs once a month.
I know a WWII POW, upon his liberation and placed on an American ship, he asked for and consumed 2 sticks of butter. He stated he craved that more than any other food item. Sweets were sickly to him for many years.
"No you dont have to take a bite out of a stick of butter like i do...." girl ive been waiting my whole life for this
😊😊😊😊😊
I've been frustrated. So I started tracking, for science, and man, I have some work to do. Thanks for your videos.
been eating steak 🥩 for 7 weeks and love it
Almost Keto/Carnivore almost 30 months. Still down 65lbs and feel good.
I'd love to see a duet with you and your steak and butter guy on the piano.🥰😊
I'm a month in to carnivore and my appetite is still high.. I only eat once a day since I'm a truck driver, but when I do eat, i eat a lot! Ex. 2- 1.5" ribeyes and a new york steak in one go.. no salt or seasoning, just the meat and water.. i also drink LMNT every morning. Still get tired during night driving.. going that fades soon. Started at 310lbs and currently at 297lbs
Getting under 300 is great. I'm under 250 now.
Wow, good for you! Driving jobs=junk food at the Kwik stop. Wishing you well!
I am glad that I am not the only one that eats butter by the stick.
Watching this while eating my Pork Shoulder steaks, beef bone broth & cooking my minced beef omelette for work tomorrow 👍🏻😜
Great vid, Bella...love the end where you and SNBguy play piano.
I was also having high blood pressure Issues. There been some improvement in that area. I mostly have been eating beef and eggs. I always used lots of spices in my foods, and I miss that.
Enjoying my OMAD = 6 eggs, 1/2 a pack of bacon (Sometimes I get the 12 oz. package, sometimes the 16 oz.) and 1 slice of sharp cheddar!
I use Alllulose as a sweetner.
Snacks? Flavored Spicy meatballs! Hamburger or chicken. Make 2 of each "flavor".
Enjoy.
dave..did u loose any weight on OMAD??
That probably isn't enough protein. You're getting maybe 120 grams of protein. Do you weigh 150 pounds? Because that's the amount of protein for someone young who only weighs 150 pounds. If you're older, you need at least 1 to 1.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight for optimum health. Try substituting the bacon with 8 ounces of solid red meat 3 or 4 times a week. Many carnivores eat a full pound of meat and up to a dozen eggs for OMAD, so don't be stingy with yourself. Since you snack, you may want to do two meals a day; it's easier for a lot of us to get adequate protein with two meals. I personally couldn't eat it all in one meal.
Beautiful person, beautiful piano player Thank you for your videos Im only 6 days of carnivor born and raised in a bakery, love my carbs, i got tired of feeling like i was 9 months pregnant with my bloated stomach using LMNT just had 2 days of the tiredness flu like symptoms. Im 65 not sure im eating enough just 2 meals but i feel good i am a practicing fasting person so i will keep watching i love at least 2 different types of meat per meal ❤
Butter helps me too!!
Raw beef. Brussel sprouts. Butter. Salt. Pepper.
All on a $180.00 per month food budget. Cancer nearly gone.
Aren’t the Brussels sprouts anti- carnivore? Wish they were not. I hated giving them up.
yes and they're full of toxins and carcinogens @@dancindavey1515
Brussel sprouts have 137 carcinogens though. There's a reason they're so bitter...
Stop eating the vegetables.
Wow! amazing
