I started carnivore 2 years ago, i lost maybe 40 lbs the first year, i also was very ill. Bed ridden for 6 years. I started feel8ng better right away. I started sleeping so much better, i used to have stabbing pains in my arms and legs , that was horrible. I dont believe in dr.s so 8 havent been for over 50 years, oh yea im old....ive now lost 65 lbs and my arthritis pain is so much better that some days i feel like its completely gone. I see the inches falling off me. The lipedema is better than its been in 50 years its actually going away.
@@JennyMitich thank you! I'm a believer after being a naysayer for a long time. I just can't ignore all the amazing life changing stories I've been seeing and reading about recently. I already don't even wanna look back!
I started in August 2023. I lost 30lbs by November 2023. My family came to NY for my cousins wedding mid November. That’s when I fell off the wagon! It’s June now and I’ve gained 10lbs. Inflammation is back in a huge way. I literally do not have ankles! It has been very difficult for me to get back on the program. It’s mid June 2024 and I started my carnivore diet again today. I dont know why it was so difficult to begin again. Well, today is day 1 (again) and I have to stick to the diet in order to lose the weight I gained and get rid of inflammation, anxiety and depression! So here we go again! Wish me luck!..
Its ok to fell off the wagon and get on again, one tip to transition more easily is to remove sugars for a couple of weeks while adding meat, eggs, seafood with salt and when you decide to cut the no-carnivore stuff your body already has been detecting what it needs. This can help to start carnivore more easily.
I’ve messed around with adding fruit Vs just meat eggs and cheese and have found my favorite is mostly beef , eggs , raw cheese , half an avocado once a day and a hand full of blueberries is the sweet spot . Gotta just do what works for you to stick to it long term .
This is hands down the best overall presentation of carnivore diets that I have come across! What a pleasant surprise to find a presenter who gets right to the bottom line in every issue, and does not waste the listener's time with filler or silliness. I did not plan to subscribe, but now I have subscribed. Thanks a bunch! Great job!
Something to remember with fruit. For most of the population, we are genetically adapted to eating only low sugar fruit locally and seasonally, which means a few weeks/months a year to fatten up ready for winter. We are NOT supposed to eat high sugar fruit (today's hybrid fruits are designed to be really sweet) all year around. When I was a kid, apples were small and tart, today's apples are large and sweet. Look at photos of watermelons from 40 years ago and compare to today. Modern fruit is just candy with fibre.
Your mama didn’t buy the good fruit, I guess, because I don’t find apples are any different than 66 years ago when I was a kid. Some are tart and some are sweet.
@soulTraveller144The high carb diet is what is making people fat and sick! God gave us the animals for food. We are human beings with immortal souls, the animals are not!
At age 55, after I shed the’ excess weight’ and regained better fitness with carnivore I saw that I was still visibly flabby. I cannot emphasise enough… do not underestimate how muscles shrink if we are not exercising enough. Being 55kg at age 35 isnt the same body as my 55kg at age 55. I wasnt flabby at 35. It was more bone and muscle and a little fat then. But is clear now that if I shed the current flab, I am going to weigh much less unless I work on rebuilding my shrunken muscles. I share this to urge folks to remember that eating well isnt enough. The muscles and bones need our attention… some daily resistance training, even if it’s morning walks, home squats and exercising with water bottles. The movement coupled with eating carnivore is the healthy way. Those morning walks are really invigorating for the mind and body too. I often get lazy and skip, but when I do walk I feel soooo much better after. As soon as the stamina returns, that spring in the step feels so good. Good luck, everybody. Take care of you.
Solid breakdown. I have done ketovore, carnivore, and lion diet. Carnivore seems to be my best balance. Fruits are an absolute no go for me. They just cause me to want sweets. I also lift weights 5 days a week and I find carnivore seems to work best for me with that regimen. I would add almost everybody I know who does some form of carnivore almost NEVER eat enough salt. We are so conditioned that salt is bad that almost everyone skimps on the salt. Don't do it. Salt to me is the super spice that makes carnivore work.
Explanation about salt: When you are eating carbs, your insulin eventually remains elevated all the time. Chronically elevated insulin causes your kidneys to retain sodium all the time. That is why carb consumers end up with high blood pressure. In Carnivore, your insulin is not elevated; your kidneys are not ordered to retain sodium all the time; the normal system for controlling your blood pressure is restored. High blood pressure tells the kidneys to excrete sodium. Low blood pressure tells the kidneys to retain sodium. Salt is excreted or retained as needed to maintain normal blood pressure. On Carnivore, if you do not consume enough salt, you could become low in sodium and your kidneys would go back to retaining sodium. So consume salt. On carnivore too much salt will be excreted with urine.
@@JennyMitich I always had trouble with milk and milk products. However this was pasteurized milk. I tried raw milk one day and had absolutely none of the issues I’ve always had with pasteurized stuff. For people who are just sensitive (like me) and not straight up allergic, raw milk might be worth a shot to try
But it is not necessary. Owesley Stanley was carnivore 47 years and did not use salt. He was also an athlete and felt it helped his performance vs using salt
@@c4caffeen134 I think you would be surprised. I haven't seen a single person who has tried this way of eating for 90 days or more and hasn't seen major health benefits. You don't really need "variety" for health. You may think you "need" certain foods because you are bored. If thats the case you may be eating for the wrong reasons.
I’ve been carnivore for 4 months, lost almost 60 lbs!!! Not doing anything super strict, but I’ve reversed my severe chronic pain from fibromyalgia and my ha1c went from 6.4 to 5.3. Also completely eliminated fatty liver.
I needed to hear this! I am a walking Dr's appt. book really. AI, previous cancers, HBP, CKD, Chronic Pain, and now told Diabetic with ha1c 6.8. They wanted to do meds and I said no, I am going a different way.
@alliward6040. Would you share what a week of eating looks like for you? I looked into carnivore a couple of years ago and just didn’t think I could do it. I have about 60-65 lbs to lose as well. Really looking for something that will work and is sustainable!
I'm not on carnivore, I'm watching clips to learn.. and I am trying to do it, but I'm not doing it 100%. BUT the reason I'm commenting is because I've seen several folks say that they weren't losing until they eliminated one item.. some say cheese.. some say milk.. some say other things, so I think it's important to test foods, eliminate at times to see the effect.
I've been carnivore for 1 week now. I'm 31. Energy levels are much more stable, my anxiety is basically completely gone, it's much easier to focus, and I'm not experiencing anymore bloating and IBS problems. My skin looks much healthier too. It's kinda hard because I really enjoy vegetables but I think it's worth it.
That's interesting. Whole fruit is no problem for me. I love an orange or Apple occasionally. It's the only sugar intake I get and I consider it okay because the fiber in the fruit buffers the insulin spike
I choose the most affordable version of Carnivore because I shop at Walmart - 🔘 lots of hard boiled eggs AND/OR fried eggs 🔘 canned sardines packed in water 🔘 🧈 butter 🔘 fatty red meat - less expensive cuts like boneless chuck 🔘 bacon
Look for great 🥩🍗🍖🥓meat sales…read the weekly grocery flyers on line… buy a vacuum sealer and buy only meats on sale and stock up…avoid freezer burn. Never pay full price for meats‼ I never, ever do! Not ever!
@@vangodwinmyyoutubealias7592 Anytime! Oh, I bought SIRLOIN TIP STEAK … it was half price only $4.97/pound. I had never eaten this cut of beef before… so, since ground beef half price is $4.00/pound…I thought how can I go wrong when steak is only $1 more than sale ground beef⁉ Right⁉Well, this meat is tough…so, I experimented…I placed a single serving of beef in a cereal bowl and squirted it with 2-3 tbsp (gluten free, 🇨🇦French’s Brand) Worcestershire Sauce…and let it just sit and marinade a whopping two hours! Grilled it on my Weber Q2400 electric BBQ and sprinkled Montreal Steak Spice on both sides! Grill it to my preferred taste…and it melted in my mouth! Delicious‼Now, I wonder if there is going to be another sale soon‼
Started pre-menopause and felt like absolute crap. Started doing carnivore and it's changed my life. Losing weight and energy is at an all time high. My family sees the difference and support my choice.
Yeah.. I have a few friends and family members telling me that I NEED fiber and fruits/veggies in my diet! Sorry, NOT sorry...I'll do ME, Thanks!!@littleone31917
I am 10 years old and my mother is teaching me to do a carnivore diet and this is my second day of my diet and when I started my diet I felt more energetic
I am 10 years old and my mother is teaching me to do a dog poop diet and this is my second day of my diet and when I started my diet I felt more energetic
Jenny, I think it should really be emphasized how toxic seed and vegetable oils are. Even if someone is not going to do carnivore they should cut out all oils that do not come from animals. After that, all nightshades, high oxalate foods, and grains.
May 2023 I was ill…I lost 40 pounds in 30 days…I threw up everything I ate. I was in terrible pain… so, June 1, I went to Emerg and in 12 hours I was diagnosed with a torn diaphragm and a hiatus hernia. I was immediately positioned in line for emergency surgery THAT DAY‼ Ah, but my Texas Rescue Chihuahua Service dog, Mariposa, was with me. And I had no one who could care for her whilst I was recovering post op in hospital. SO… I signed myself out of Emerg and went home…at the protest of the doctors and nurses. BUT SURPRISE… NO ONE told me that I could eliminate the excruciating stomach pain by getting rid of veggies. It was ALL trial and error… one day I would eat a 🍔burger…I was fine…next day, same 🍔burger with a leaf of 🥬lettuce and I thought I would die. The only way I could get rid of the horrible pain was fast, fast 72 to 100 hours. So, I eliminated all vegetables. I was so very hungry…that timidly, I began with a 🍳fried egg. I gobbled it up = no pain. So, I fried another🍳🍳and in about 4 weeks I increased my egg intake to 🍳🍳🍳🍳four a day. Still, very low in calories. My weight dropped very rapidly…total loss in less than six months is 115 pounds. If I eat too much, I hurt…so, I try to eat three times a day. Small meals. Slowly, I added meats with my eggs. 🥩🍳And I feel great. I am trying to eat as much as possible …those last 10 pounds wrinkled my face horribly even at 65…I am trying to slow down my weight loss. I do want to lose 50 pounds more…but ultra slowly. Now, my family MD does want me to undergo surgery…thinking I cannot live on meat alone…but I explained…what am I missing⁉Today’s vegetables are not the nutritious veggies WE ALL grew up with…full of pesticides, GMO and glyphosate…my body does not need that‼I enjoy 🍗🥩🍖🍔meats, 🍳eggs, I can eat 🧀Cheese, 🧈butter, cream🫗, I can eat 🧅🧄🫒🍈onion, garlic, olives, spices 🌶yes, hot jalapeño 🌶pickled peppers even dill pickles🥒…so my diet is full of variety. I enjoy bulletproof coffee☕, Turkish Coffee☕ 🧊homemade 🍋lemon iced tea. I grill beef steaks 🥩on my Weber Q2400 outdoor electric BBQ, I have setup a complete outdoor kitchen on my balcony, all electric, to fry bacon🥓➕🍳eggs everyday without messing the kitchen. Plus I have a Kalorik Pro 1600 degree restaurant quality steak grilling oven…that I moved to the balcony, too. Plus a sun umbrella ⛱Covid did something to me…while under quarantine, I decided to sequester and really lean how to KETO/CARNIVORE cook. I bought practically every kitchen appliance known to man plus three different ice cream makers. And, I have a beautiful marble dining table & a 🪑patio rocking chair‼Yes, I can eat🍨 ice cream which I make from just eggs🥚🥚🥚and 🧈butter ➕ stevia and vanilla. Or 🍧cream cheese ➕🥚🥚➕stevia and vanilla. Delicious‼I have discovered I can bake the occasional cheese cake…sweetened with stevia…and if I want a fruity flavour…I add a tsp of Lor Ann fruit extract…either 🍒cherry or 🍓strawberry or raspberry even blueberry🫐. Then there is 🍋lemon, or 🍎🍏apple flavour, 🍐pear, 🍌banana, 🥭mango. 🍮🍮🍮Flans baked with heavy cream and eggs are delicious‼YES, this modified carnivore is very easy…I KNOW I can eat this way for the remainder of my life and save 💵💵💵💲💲💲Money not 🛒🛒🛒wasting money 💵💵💵on useless veggies. 🥬🥦🥬🫑🥕🌽🍅🥑🍅 And that is my reason for sticking to what I call CARNIVORE PLUS➕‼NO SURGERY NEEDED‼ And May I point out…our healthcare is free here in 🇨🇦Canada…the surgery and after care of a week in hospital would not have cost me a single dime‼‼‼ AND I STILL REFUSE SURGERY. HELLO CARNIVORE‼ Gladys🇨🇦Toronto🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦
I really enjoyed your story. Thank you. You have greatly inspired me to try this. I feel like I'd be so sick of just eating meat and nothing else but it's great to hear how you have added some variety to endure. Please share your recipe for ice cream and coffee if you don't mind? I'd really appreciate it ❤
@@sherridenkeogh4770 Hello, I would most pleased to share all I do eat. 🍽And how I cook. I am never ever bored‼You can kindly ask Jenny to provide you with my email address too, if you like…I will help you on your journey. I will help anyone‼☺ I also make sure I eat salmon 🦈once every twenty years, or so, I hate 🦈salmon…that makes me a terrible 🇨🇦Canadian🇨🇦Not loving our 🦈native fish‼ The 🧈Butter ☕☕coffee is the ☕☕BULLETPROOF coffee that Dave Asprey perfected…I began very skeptically drinking it and it changed my life. I always prepare a huge 16 ounce mug full. If you cannot find a 16 ounce coffee mug upgrade to a large glass beer 🍺mug it will work splendidly‼Due to the fact I can only eat about 5-6 ounces total per meal…I find some days I climb the walls with real hunger. It, the hunger, drives me crazy. So, I have realized those are the days my food is lacking in fats…so I have returned to drinking Bulletproof Coffee. Even 🕰mid day! I French Press brew about 14 ounces coffee…instant is ok, too. And pour it into my blender. To the coffee, I add, 1 scoop collagen powder. I sweeten with NOW BETTER stevia powder to taste. This stevia is my go to for everything and the cheapest stevia in 🇨🇦Canada at 🇨🇦💵$86.00/pound. Use 1/2 tsp = 1/2 cup white sugar in all recipes‼ A couple of hefty shakes of cinnamon. And 1 tbsp MCT oil …which I truly measure And I slice off 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter And add that to the blender…and I blitz.☕ I really whip the ingredients to create a huge foamy cappuccino-like foamy mug of coffee! Optional add ons… If I make the coffee 50% stronger… I add 1 tbsp egg yolk powder and it becomes a breakfast on the go‼No you will not taste the egg yolk. Or add one 🥚fresh egg…no it will not cook in the coffee…but become extra extra creamy. You will not taste it‼ As for the ice cream…🍧🍨🍦🍧🍨🍦 I own the $999.99 🇨🇦Cuisinart ICE-100 built-in freezer ice cream maker…which I bought in 2012. You should have seen the look on the salesman’s face when I explained that I required an 🍧🍨🍦ice cream maker to follow a high fat diet to lose weight‼‼ This is a great ice cream maker for a quick one or two serving recipe. Sure you can churn a quart in an hour…but I discovered…it is faster to prepare ice cream fresh daily in say, 15-17 minutes‼ Then in 2022, everyone online in the keto 🌎sphere was raving about the NINJA CREAMI. I watched every TH-cam video I could find. In about ten months…I was absolutely convinced I NEEDED a Ninja Creami. It is a marvel of culinary scientific ice cream prep. See my bulletproof coffee recipe above…pour it into a Creami jar and freeze it for 24 hours…and then “spin” or “process” it according to Ninja directions…and it whips up into a most creamy, smooth, delicious dessert‼A miracle, an amazing creamy frozen coffee ice cream keto high fat dessert sensation, gee…what other delicious words can I use⁉Get my drift? …even my 🇺🇸Adopted 🇺🇸Texas Rescue chihuahua loves this stuff‼🍨🍧🍨🍧She eats my meat carnivore diet and I add low carb veggies to her plate and stopped shedding her fur completely! I buy veggies only for her! ICE CREAM BASE RECIPE (s) 🍦🍨🍧 I use (and have tried all brands) of fruit extracts that I import from the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 To buy them it is very 💲💲💲a $40.00🇺🇸 Order can have a landed 🇨🇦Cost of just over $120.00🇨🇦💵 after shipping ✈and duty! And now,I have discovered that the 🇨🇦Michaels Craft Store sells LorAnn for $15.00 a four ounce bottle. It is hands down the best brand of flavouring in the marketplace. In 2014, I ate 🍋sensational 🍋Lemon Ice Cream every day for lunch. And enjoyed every creamy tangy bite‼In my blender… I cracked 2 very fresh large eggs The grated rind of about 1/2 a large lemon The juice of half a lemon 2-3 tbsp soft butter And I used stevia powder to sweeten to taste Blitz Poured the foamy rich ice cream base into my Cuisinart ice cream maker and churned it about 15 minutes. Served. TRULY Enjoyed. I have not figured out the Ninja ratios of this recipe…yet. So…keep reading… FOR THE NINJA CREAMI…🍨🍧🍦 My inspiration for one of my recipes is from Anita, Ketogenic Woman on TH-cam. She is very strict carnivore these days check her out. My take on CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM In a very low powdered 175-200 watt blender…place the following ingredients: 4 ounces soft cream cheese 4 fresh large or extra large eggs 2 tbsp MCT oil I scoop collagen powder 1 tsp NOW BETTER STEVIA powder 1 tsp vanilla…masks the smell of eggs ((Optional… add 1tsp LorAnn fruit extract your choice of flavour 🍓🍌🍎🍒🍑🫐…yes, vanilla plus fruit extract in the batch.) Pour into ninja container…if volume does not reach the fill line on the container add water! Freeze 24 hours. The next day, “spin” on the Lite cycle On the Ninja Creami selection board. And then… Re-spin two more times‼ The resulting ice cream will be as smooth and richer with superb mouth feel that beats Haagen -Dazs hands down…sugar free. Way back in the 1970’s in the Dr. Atkins Day, ice cream recipes never quite succeeded due to the fact that the sweeteners would freeze rock solid hard. The Ninja Creami solves this dilemma…it is an appliance that is genius‼ That is why I can turn the Bulletproof Coffee into dessert, if I want to‼😋😋😋 I hope this helps. I also believe in … FRENCH PRESS COLD BREW COFFEE‼ TEAS OF ALL VARIETIES and flavours SUN ICED TEA Owning an ice making machine…for instant ice. Enjoying a double shot of Turkish coffee Using True Lemon crystals in iced tea and anywhere I need a hit of lemon flavour…i no longer buy 🍋🍋🍋which are $1.00 ++ ea. I buy True Lemon in the value 500 count box. I BELIEVE, that if a new kitchen appliance will assist us with cooking…keto or carnivore…and keep us on tract and not fall off the diet wagon…that saves our lives…those appliances are of greatest importance to us. BECAUSE I can eat spices…I buy all the unique spice blends that interest me. And some SPICEOLOGY brands sell for over $50.00 a large container here in Canada🇨🇦 I believe that THE KETO AND CARNIVORE 🌎WORLD really needs a comprehensive recipe book of about 750➕➕➕JUST 🥚🥚🥚egg recipes from all over the 🌎world. Using different spices, cooking methods to offer us true variety when we want to save lots of 💵 money quickly in a month… and never ever become bored with eggs. What do you want to save for⁉ But, I admit it… I can eat 🥓and 🍳crispy fried eggs cooked in bacon fat each and every day and never tire of them, NEVER‼ I hope this helps you and everyone who has spent the time to reply to your query.

Lion is a great, easy way to start off. But I'm a firm believer in balanced diet, elimination(problem) foods aside. So eggs, dairy, and fruit/nuts are crucial to get micro nutrients and trace carbs for healthy hormone function. Unless you have some serious disease that prevent you from variety eating, i feel the balanced path is best. Remember, all carbs are not bad, your body is designed for them. The problem is usually over eating them or a rouge protein intolerance (gluten, etc.) That causes problems.
Yeah I'm finding after decades of waaaaay too much sugar, binge drinking alcohol, medications that raise blood sugar, I'm going full keto/ carnivore with an emphasis on ZERO carbs/ sugar... but after my body fully heals/ adapts to burning fat, I do think I'll reintroduce high fat dairy, low carb veggies, and finally organic mixed berries. Currently all my brain fog is gone and I have very high energy so I'll reintroduce the above foods one by one.
Hey just so you know, "beef/salt/water" and "all ruminants/salt/water" are both lion diet. There is no difference between lamb, bison, elk, venison, beef etc. for the purposes of lion diet. Lion diet was designed (and the name coined) by Mikhaila Peterson as a way of defining the least allergenic form of carnivore possible. All red meat falls into the "least allergenic" category due to the fact that ruminant animals have the lowest amount of plant toxin carryover of all animals one might eat. In fact, due to histamine intolerance, Mikhaila herself spent two years eating only lamb because she couldn't find a good source of unaged beef. Also, technically there is something even stricter, and that's no-salt lion diet. Doesn't work great for athletes but for others it's actually completely fine to forgo salt as long as you have good quality natural water that hasn't had all the electrolytes purified out. Cheers!
I’ve listened to the Peterson’s videos and I believe it was Mrs. Tammy Peterson that ate lamb only because she couldn’t find unaged beef. From what I’ve seen Mikhaila eats beef and salt only, as does her father, Jordan. Anyway, yes, some people have a histamine intolerance and can’t eat aged meat. I have no idea what the symptoms are that would tell you this, do you?
@@suew4609 Sorry, you've got it confused. Tammy does eat lamb, but it was Mikhaila who was eating it in place of beef, until she was able to find an unaged beef source. I've been following Mikhaila for a couple years and that has been consistently part of her story when she tells it, both on her own channel and in interviews with others. As for how to tell, I think it's probably a little different for everyone. The most common symptoms are getting a runny or congested nose when eating, skin itchiness with or without welts/hives, acne, digestive problems (bloating, diarrhea, gas, nausea), and headaches.
The Lion diet is nothing more than a subset of the carnivore diet. Again, just people making up subjective names to suit themselves. Very much pointless. Before all this non-sense, it was just called Zero-Carb. Makes perfect sence as that it what it actually is.
Was strictly carnivore for 14 months. Lost 50 lbs. Blood work showed Homocystine 13.7 and RDW 16.2 out of range. Now added organic leafy greens, asparagus, avocados etc. to bring down homocysteine level. Still very low carb but likely more in the ketovore range.
I just paused the video @6:22 so I can make a comment. The beginning of your presentation is FANTASTIC! I really like how you outlined what you will cover. Your communication skills are exceptional. You are able to succinctly distill a lot of information into a digestible amount. You seem to really focus on your viewers and their needs / wants. I am subscribed and you will get a thumbs up. I really appreciate your time in putting this video together. Now, let me enjoy the rest of your presentation.
Change the watermelon to papaya or pineapple, the enzymes break down the meat easier....there actually diets based on pineapple/ papaya with meat from the 60s
@@elizabethcobb3316 typically cut it for at least 30 days and then reintroduce it. For me, it’s slight digestive issues like bloating and mental health symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dairy is inflammatory to most people and they don’t even realize it because they’ve always had it in their diets
I'm starting today, doing the meat plus raw dairy, I can't wait to see the results and health benefits! I'm only 18 and I already get swollen veins under my legs, I'm not obese or anything but would like to lose a couple of pounds... Wish me luck Y'all! 💖
I started carnivore 11/2 yrs ago. Lost 80. I feel best on lion but I am a chef sooooo I do bbbe and add dairy on weekends. A couple days a week I am lion. That way I do not feel deprived. I love sour cream on my meat. It is a reward in a way. In my 60’s feel better than I did in hs.
I started strict carnivore almost a year ago but i noticed that my jiu jitsu workouts were a little flat so I ate a little fruit separately when I ate the meat so that it doesn't interfere with mineral absorbtion and my workouts improved. Thank you for your videos they are very informative. May god bless and protect you and your family
I’m new to this since researching this for the past two months by watching Dr. Ken D Berry. This video was very helpful in explaining the differences in Carnivore. Well done.
Jenny, I just watched your interview with Dave M. You mentioned "optimal baseline is higher". I want to share something with you that I wrote. It is long and I don't know if this will work. (I deleted a bunch so this would send.) This is an attempt to spark an interest into what some know as the Carnivore Diet. This is NOT an attempt to get everyone or anyone to go Carnivore. It is an attempt to spark interest of people, or even one person, to do some research and make an informed choice between Carnivore, something similar to Carnivore, and the Standard American Diet. Much of what I have written is not something I have read or heard, but pieced together by many things I have learned and thought out. This may not all be 100% correct but in my opinion close enough. Take it for what you will. SOMETHING CHANGED: A hundred years ago, health problems were related to infections and injury. Now, we have diseases for every system of the body. We need medications to make our bodies work right. How did we ever survive hundreds of thousands of years of evolution without our medication? Something changed. Some say it is the switch from eating mostly protein and fat to eating mostly carbohydrates. Others say it is the consumption of seed oils and highly processed food (which contain seed oil). Some say it is both. BAD GENES: Many people think that the reason they have chronic diseases or conditions is because they were born with a bad set of genes. This is mostly NOT true (my opinion). The human body is wondrous. We are not designed wrong. It is our diet. Gut biome also plays a role and that is based on what we eat and what antibiotics we have been given. LETS CHANGE THE WAY AMERICA EATS AND FAIL TO MONITOR THE RESULTS: In the military, we practiced Total Quality Management. We may have been doing something a certain way for a long time. If a change is suggested, what is the reason? What is the problem we want to fix? What changes are we going to make to fix the problem? How are we going to measure the results of our solution? The food pyramid was a change. The problem was heart disease. Had they followed up to see if the change produced the desired result, they would have seen that things were worse. What a disaster! Oh, to top it off, the military must follow the dietary guidelines. It is testament to (something), when you make a change, have disastrous results, and do not re-think the situation. Many good men and women, some of whom I served with and ran around the decks of the ship with, trying to help them lose weight, were discharged because they failed to meet the fitness standards no matter how hard they tried. They were not the problem. It was the food. But who would have thought that to lose weight, you had to consume fat? EVOLUTION I: Does evolution from the past have anything to do with what we should be eating today for optimum health, physical performance, and mental performance. Of course it does! The diet on which and to which a species evolves is that specie’s proper diet forever. We ate meat based, primarily fatty red meat and fish. If we ate plant based, it was because we could not get meat. If we ate plant based, our body knew there was something wrong, we may be facing famine, so our body stored fat. We did not have to think it. Our hormones made the choice for us. In this case, the hormone insulin. When we ate fatty red meat, we did not store fat. We needed to be lean, strong, and mentally keen to hunt animals. It is the same today. When we eat an animal based diet, we do not store fat. When we eat a plant based diet, we store fat. When we ate fatty meat, our body was optimizing our mental, physical, and offspring producing abilities. When we ate carbs, our body shifted from optimizing our mind and body, to optimizing our chance of surviving a famine. In the past, we primarily ate the food that kept us in the optimization mode. Today, we primarily eat the food that places our body in the suboptimal mode, focused on surviving famine. We may no longer need this feature of our evolution but it is still there. When we eat plant based, insulin is elevated. With insulin elevated, we store fat, reduce BMR (to conserve energy); turn off autophagy (now is not the time for repair), and retain sodium (because we don’t get salt from plants). Since many say that Carnivore lifts the fog from the brain, I would have to say that in the suboptimal mode apparently our brain is subdued somewhat to again conserve energy and survive famine. CHOOSE YOUR FUEL: Since your brain consumes the most energy, your choice of fuel affects the brain the most. Your choices of fuel are limited, glucose or fat. One molecule of glucose equals 32 units of energy (ATP). One molecule of fatty acid equals 122 units of energy (ATP). Glucose is not as stable as fat (saturated fat). Converting glucose to ATP produces ROS and free radicals as a byproducts. ROS (reactive oxygen species) and free radicals damage cells. We age due to the accumulation of this cellular and mitochondrial damage. Saturated fat is very stable. Converting saturated fat to ATP does not produce ROS and free radicals. Unsaturated fats, like vegetable oil and seed oils, are very unstable and should be avoided.
Coming from England and having an American fiance, i cant believe how bad American food is , lol bread that lasts for months and milk the same , milk lasts 7 days At most in Europe and bread a few days . Meat here doesn't contain growth hormone . Its a literall minefield shopping in usa
Im 20 years old now, in the 7th grade i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, hashimotos, celiac disease, and mthfr. At 12, I was diagnosed with pcos. At 19, I was diagnosed with POTS and interstitial cystitis. Years and years of going to western doctors AND holistic doctors and i dont feel like im going to get any better. Finally, I've decided to take my health into my own hands and try to find a solution myself instead of being complacent with doctors letting me down.
I have all that in a similar story! Guanfacine really helps my pots. Took 30 years to get a doctor who knew that. Myofascial release work with a PT or LMT is so helpful to me. And low histamine diet is necessary. I focus on carnivore bc it makes it easier for me. And I do lmnt drink - for fibro and common allergies, I only use the watermelon or flaborless. I totally gave you unsolicited info. If you don't like, please ignore. If any helps, yay.
Ghee is ideal to sub for butter because the milk fat which burns is removed, along with lactose. It almost doubles the smoke point and allows cooking on high heat. I use it to sear everything, then melt extra for the sauce. I add lemon juice and zest with the butter to add a kick. Or add spices.
Wow amazing thank you for the ghee tip being in the UAE it is what I also use,I am 2 days in but I am still doing research as well.i must say I am drinking a lot of water and I eat about 2 meals that seriously fills me up…what can I drink besides water
I think you forgot age as a factor. I'm 71 and in fairly good health, especially since going carnivore about a year ago. I'm finding that it's very difficult to lose weight at this age. For that reason, I avoid dairy and certainly can't eat fruit.
Same age as you on carnivore for 50 days and am so happy that I made the decision to try it…have managed to lose 7 lbs 16 left to lose but energy level is off the charts and life is good and carnivore is so manageable!
71 also and weight loss is very very slow. Have to be very strict and keep to only ruminant meats eggs water. Three months and have lost only 15lbs. Feel great and my arthritis is about 75% improved. Mental clarity is way up too.
I’m 66 and I felt terrible on meat only. I was chronically nauseous and had bowel issues I don’t want to remember. I felt unwell and my chronic pain didn’t lesson after 3 months. When I added back a piece of fruit with each meaI, I felt so much better, and began to finally lose weight. I don’t think any diet is for everyone. Do what feels good for you, as no one but you knows how you feel!
@@suew4609 I can't agree more. I get so annoyed with Lions who think everybody has to do it THEIR way or it's not 'cvore'... but if you're majority animal foods, you're close enough & doing better than most ppl out there to clean things up & take care of your health. Ppl need time to adjust and changes will be made along the way
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your pregnancy. I had 4 babies enjoyed all 4 even though I gained 50# each time. Was dairy farming at the time and nursed all of them so the weight came off within 6 months without trying. At the age of 60 I wished I could say that again 😅.
I have RA, currently I’m at the point where even walking is very very painful. I’m going to do this diet, I can’t live like this. This pain is off the charts. I want to get better.
I am an organic gardener. I trade my organic produce with other local folks as much as I can for cash to buy meat or for free range eggs, while keeping the herbs and spices I grow to season all of that yummy meat! There is always an option! I dehydrate or can my jalapenos to add some kick to ground beef recipes!
Thank you so much for this Video. This has been THE MOST concise nutrient rich Carnivore centered video I've come across, which prompted me to share it with my friend and see about trying out Carnivore together.
At last ... Common sense. I'm 77 and at 84 days on cnvr and had to add a tiny amount of fruit to keep blood sugar level. And to overcome boredom with all meat. We are all different. It's experimental until you get it right. Good info.❤
Plateaus are so depressing to deal with. But I learned years ago a helpful trick: even if you’re not losing weight you are losing inches. Your body is reshaping itself. Stick to the diet. Measure yourself. You’ll be surprised. Once I was on a two month plateau but I kept focused, and once the weight started coming off again I measured myself and I’d lost 29”.
I was keto and stepped in to Carnivore to loose 5 pounds. Also started my menopause and needed to regulate the hormones. This is my second month. 1. Gained 2 pounds but body composition changed 2. Hot flashes and night sweats are almost gone. 3. Vision is improving some days I do not use readers at all. 4. Lots of energy 5. Zero cravings 6. Good mood and clarity all the time. 7. Less joint pain and no soreness after workouts. 8. Still drinking coffee and noticed my sleep is affected by coffee! 9. Confession has to be made I still have occasional cocktail. I had no health issues and was already eating good. But cutting nuts and veggies out made a huge difference on my gutt health! I did 24 h. Fast and was amazing. Planing to do again.
Due to what I've read about the Randle Cycle and glycation I must dissuade everyone from carnivore and fruit diet. Glycation is the misshaping of proteins due to sugars such that they do not function properly. Collagen misshaping is especially noticeable with skin wrinkles. Fructose is a worse culprit than glucose. Avoid ALL types of sugars and carbs for best health. There are no essential carbs in the human diet.
Awesome video! I just recently started a keto/ carnivore deit. I have been eating like 80 ish percent meat, eggs, cheese. The other 20 is a mixture of broccoli, apples or pears, and mixed greens. I'm loving it! Cut out all pastas, breads, sugars/syrups other than whole fruit. I can tell my stomach is way slimmer and feel great 👍
I went for the one with dairy. I’m not interested in loosing too much weight. And I like cheese and raw cream. I have found it really helps my arthritis. And hoping that my back issues will disappear Going into month #2 And I do use some seasonings Mostly salt pepper garlic And lots of butter!!!😊
Thanks for this. As someone who is dairy intolerant though I can tell you lactose mostly isn't the issue, it's the casein (milk protein) which triggers inflammation and more specifically casein A1 which is a mutated version of the casein that was traditionally found in cow dairy (casein A2). Casein A2 is what's found in goat and sheep's cheese and some older more traditional cow races, but most of the milk and cheese we get in the west is A1 and much more inflammatory. The reason why butter works even for people like me who don't tolerate casein A1 well is not that the lactose has been removed but that there is barely any protein either. It's important to mention that because some might think they'll do fine with lactose free cow cheeses, but since those have a high amount of A1 casein they will still cause most people the same symptoms. If you have such symptoms and want to have dairy you probably wanna limit it to butter and goat and sheep's cheeses.
I do: meat, chicken, seafood, cheese, eggs, jalapeños, avocado, garlic, tomatoes, some nuts, cilantro, onions, some leafy salad and coffee… won’t let that go.
Just found your channel. Thanks for the info. I have been Carno for 1 year. Minimal wt loss due to extremely high insulin. No one talks about this!!! I struggled with cravings and did take 'breaks' just to keep from carnivore 'fatigue'. It always back fires and I end up feeling like crap. I think like you, I need to have a few veggies and shift to meat based.....IDK. Just went Lion diet, 2 ribeyes daily 18:6 fasting. BG normal now BUT having sleep disturbance due to extremely low BG during the night.....50! So I'm going to switch my first meal to 12pm and last meal to 6 pm so I can have better sleep thanks to your video on that.😘 I think your videos are really based in sane measured thought.
People that think theyre allergic to eggs should try farm fresh they dont spray the outsides with preservatives like all store bought eggs have. I found thats what i was allergic to.
The issue with commercial eggs is not that they spray them with preservatives, but that they wash them in a bleach and other chemical solution that penetrates the pours of the egg shells. You don't have this with farm fresh eggs. Also, people who are sensitive to chicken eggs usually can eat duck eggs as the protien in duck eggs is different than in chicken eggs.
Eggs were making me feel sick and giving me all day heartburn as well as indigestion. On a whim I tried pasture raised organic eggs (Happy Egg) and they did not make me ill or give me heartburn. I thought it was a fluke so I tested it out in different ways - nope, in my case it is absolutely legit.
We had our own chickens, so our eggs weren't sprayed or washed with anything, and my daughter was still extremely sensitive to them. When we found out (had food sensitivity tests), I sold the chickens and got some young ducks. We had a wait of several months before the ducks started laying, and my daughter -- who is autistic and has lupus -- was doing MUCH better without any eggs in her diet. Finally started getting duck eggs, and nope. She can't eat those either. I have considered trying quail (again), but suspect she wouldn't tolerate quail eggs any better, so probably won't do that again.
Funny, because my sister and I are both allergic to eggs. Now I can't eat them at all, I did try, but my sister had found that farm fresh eggs don't bother her. Odd how that works out.
I went from BBBE (not very long) - but it was too difficult and I’m a food addict… adding veggies and minimal carb/sugar fruits is way more sustainable for me!
I have had juvenile arthritis since for as long as I can remember. I remember trying to describe the pain to my mom., My best description was that it felt like something was eating my bones. The doctor told her it was growing pains. At 50, this is the first time I have ever known what it was like to not always be in pain. I would have days of less pain or more pain, but have never had no pain until carnivore. Also, I am able to identify the foods that make me miserable after eating them. This was a great break down of the diet for people trying to figure out where to start and why.
So happy for you, it probably feels like an alien left your body because you were feeding it fat and protein…enjoy your path to health and happiness…thank God each and every day too!
@@kathleendellavia7862 yes. I'm so thankful, but sad for a life of pain that was such an easy fix. Everything I did that I thought was healthy was, in fact, what was making me feel so bad.
Don’t look behind just look ahead and set a goal to do a 5k race, walk it, you meet so many in-kind people, get a bike ride it in your neighborhood, go to church during the week…do something you’ve never been able to do or could even attempt to do…one feather in your cap at a time…feeling and being healthy is more important than all the wealth you could accumulate! You got a second chance because you listened and learned…me too… 🙏🤗
Started OMAD 3 months ago and lost too much weight. One month ago started “meat-based” and I feel amazing. I eat all meats you can think of but also salads. At dinner i also have a bit of fruit. This combination works for me the best. Also changed the way I work out. No more long distance running just sprints and weights. I’m 50 and feel like I’m in the best shape of my life. Testosterone also increasing
I have been on Carnivore for 3 years after 10 on keto. I'm 67 years old and I teach martial arts and work two full-time jobs. The longer I've been on Carnivore the more I realize that spices and pasteurized Dairy and other things that I used to think were okay actually we're not okay and would cause diarrhea and things which they never did before I was carnivore. Realizing that I've been cleaning my body out and making it more pure inside I was becoming less tolerant to bull crap in my diet therefore I've gone from least strict to the most strict and it's improving constantly I eat beef and I drink warm non-child water only and I salt occasionally once a month or so I might have some eggs but that's the total extent of my diet no Dairy no cheese no spices of any kind. And the results keep getting better the more I get pure carnivore
Great video! I'm 13 months carnivore and I've lost 35lbs. I've cheated a bunch but when I do it's only a bite or two and then I throw the carb laden bad choice away. It's getting a lot easier. I have been eating a lot of cheese and decided today actually to give up the cheese to see what happens. Thanks for sharing all this great information.
I haven’t been able to do carnivore for the 90 day trial period….longest I’ve gone was 6 weeks and my metabolism plummets! Some people need about 100-130g of carbs for proper thyroid function. I’m definitely in that group. I added fruit back to my diet and doing much better but definitely envious of those that thrive on strict carnivore for the ketones.
Hmmm, maybe that’s my problem. I have Hashimoto’s and I haven’t felt well on meat or carnivore alone. I added back a little fruit and I my bowels feel better, no nausea and I’ve finally started losing weight!
Same issue with metabolism on straight carni. I thrive on a few carbs as well. Whole food types, just a little. Night and day strength difference in gym, less fatigue walking or running.
I was so weak on carnivore. I felt very calm, but I noticed that my base line serotonin levels seemed rly low. I kind of felt flat and emotionally blunt all the time. Gained muscle. Joints felt great. Low mood and energy though
I do the all meats, eggs and butter. Mostly dictated by living on social security. About one third is beef, one third pork and one third chicken hind quarters. My beef is mostly from a privately owned butcher shop with 85% lean at $2.99 and chuck primals at $4.99. Chicken hind quarters for 70 cents a lb in 10 lb bags and pork shoulder at$1.59. The last eggs I bought were $1.56 per dozen. I obviously cut up the pork shoulder and beef chuck and "steak" it all. Put about a pound in quart ziplock bags and freeze. I buy about once a month. About $5 per day for food
@@suew4609 I live in Northeast Neb near a city of about 75,000 people and buy most of my meat at a privately owned meat market that is in that city No one else i close to that hamburger price. The beef chuck price is fairly standard if you have a costco near by , There are two other meat markets in that city but they are not in the price game at all. There are NO bargains in meat at Walmart. The chicken hind quarters usually come from a regional grocery chain. The prices I am giving are pretty consistent, not some out of this world special sale. Eggs are Walmart, bacon is usually from that regional chain WHEN it is on sale. Bought 20 lbs about 3 weeks ago for $3.98. Living on social security so I never even look for the grass fed, pastured, organic stuff
I know a lot of people on SS/fixed income (as well as plenty others who AREN'T) who insist they can't afford meats, eggs, and butter...even though they almost certainly could if they simply changed their grocery (and other) spending habits. You are proof it can be done. 😊
@@katie7748 Thanks. I do draw the line at spending the extra for the grass fed free range etc. I just can't justify the difference in price. I Had a meat buying day yesterday. Chuck roll (21 lbs,) 85% hamburger (13 lbs) and 2 pork butts (17lbs) and a 1 lb package of liver. Total cost was $181 and change. About 8 lbs of the chuck and 4 lbs of the pork my wife will use for whatever she chooses. We eat very differently, I have enough chicken to last the next month and the only other thing I will buy in the coming month is eggs. About a pound and a half per day does me just fine and before anyone says that is not enough-- I am 77, have shrunk down to 5'6'' and weigh about 155. I feel fine at that level of eating. Purpose walk 2-4 miles per day and have a 4 hour per day 5 days a week part time job in a kitchen on my feet
What an amazing breakdown! I was confused as to where to start, and you made it clear. I fall into meats, seafood, eggs and butter to start. I’ve subbed and can’t wait to learn more!
Another great video, Jenny! I love how straight forward and informational all of your videos are! Your videos are my go-to to share with people who may be interested in this WOE.
Loved the video. You even went in to detail about how dairy can have side effects but butter is potentially fine. And also recommended the Metabolic Mind YT channel for people suffering mental health issues. Shows that one cares!
Hi Jenny, I just found your channel a couple days ago, and I've been enjoying watching your videos and learning more about carnivore. I was a long time vegan (over 20 years), and vegetarian (10 years) before that. I got so wrapped up in my ethical reasons for my diet, that I ignored the horrible effects it was having on my health for decades. I convinced myself my diet was perfect, and there was no way my health was suffering because of it. I was wrong! Here I am now at age 60 and in menopause (which in itself brings many health consequences). 3 years ago I finally was honest with myself, and realized that I was holding on to a way of eating that was hurting me, and something needed to change. After months of deliberation and soul-searching, I decided to re-introduce animal products back into my diet. I started out very slowly with just some yogurt, eggs, and fish. I gradually added in beef, lamb, and bison. I don't really like chicken that much, but I do like turkey, so I also eat that now. I've been on quite a journey with my diet these last few years, and lately I have been experimenting with going higher protein, and less carbs. It's been hard getting used to it, but I'm getting there. I am having less digestive issues (bloating, gas, abdominal pain) than I used to, which has been such a relief! Unfortunately, digestive issues aren't my only problem. I also have chronic muscle and joint pain, falling/thinning hair, painful neuropathy in feet and legs, fatigue, dizziness, and brain fog/memory problems. I am seriously considering trying the carnivore diet to see if I can get my health back. I am not overweight, and I don't have diabetes or any other metabolic disease. I am actually at the low end of BMI, at 5'9 and 124 lbs, so I wouldn't be doing carnivore to lose weight. I just want to feel better, that is my only goal! I have been through the wringer with doctors and other health practitioners over the last 4 years. I've had all the tests and lab work. No one can find a cause for my symptoms! I'm at the end of my rope, and willing to try anything to feel better! Thank you for all of your information. I'm going to keep researching and learning. I'm getting close to trying carnivore. I'm desperate to feel better!
Hello and thank you so much for sharing your story! I think Carnivore is worth a shot, for you I would say a higher fat version of it may be helpful. Try it for 30 days and see what happens!
This was the most understanding video I have seen and understood! There was no disrespect to the docs, but she explained a lot of the questions I had, such as why butter isn't considered dairy! Lol ... Lame but I didn't know that. 😊
@@suew4609 Yes and digestion needs to be looked into where biome is concerned. I'm learning that actual healing needs some level of variety that Lion/meat alone isn't going to handle well bc digestion of large amounts of meat & absorbtion of those nutrients is an issue too.
It amazes me how many people out there think that since it worked for them it works for everyone. If you look at the asian vs the african elephant, they have very different diets one eats mostly grasses the other eats mostly leaves. People are like that, were all genetically adapted to thrive on certain diets and they're going to be different
Just subbed!! You had me at trying to lose weight to have a baby, i'm 38 and in the same situation. I've always been on the verge of pre-diabetes and type 2 is HIGHLY prevalent in my family. All four of my pregnancies have been strictly monitored on my blood sugar levels. With my midwife and last pregnancy she said she didn't like my blood work results, so i switched to low carb high protein and had to do another blood work test, this time she said my levels were MUCH better! My little one is now 18 months old and I'm still trying to lose the extra weight. I go carnivore for a time and then fall off. I think if I just watch Carnivore videos once every morning to get my focus on, remember why I'm doing this and see other people's results it can keep me on track! I hope you and I both achieve our goals!
Carnivore is amazing I started carnivore April 1, 2024. I ate all meats and some dairy and I am down 95lbs. I highly recommend it to everyone to at least try!
@@CirakTekeletsione hello! Eating only meat does not clog your arteries. Please go and check out some of my bloodwork videos where I go into detail about that topic.
I am on a meat wheat diet - fried mince beef, fried chopped pork luncheon eaten together with cheddar cheese and Weet-Bix (Australian dry wheat breakfast cereal). No fruit and vegetables. But I do have coffee with no milk sweetened with apricot and raspberry jam. I drink cold refrigerated water after a meal.
A question I have not seen addressed and I'd like your opinion on is centered around supplements separated into (1) DAILY and then into (2) DURING ILLNESS and (3) FOR PREVENTION [like during COVID, Flu, and cold outbreaks] I like to take Vitamin C and D3+K2+Zinc supplements I get from other TH-camr's online stores. What are your thoughts as far as taking these (1) DAILY, (2) DURING ILLNESS, (3) FOR PREVENTION? I'm also looking to add daily Vitamin A, [SPECIFICALLY Lugol's Solution] Iodine, and powdered Collagen[From 100% Grassfed Beef Bones]. What are your thoughts here? There are some supplements I wanted to take for general health benefits, Apple Cider Vinegar, Cod Liver Oil or Cod Roe, Beef Organ supplement. Last weird question is around coffee, and then also on the new mushroom coffees that have been going around social media. Is it necessary to cut out traditional coffee, instant, K-Cups? Should I be wary of mushroom coffee?[I use it as an alternative, not an additive. I also put 1-2Tb of A2 Kirkland Costco milk in sometimes] I eat virtually no seafood, and before coming off the SAD diet my version consisted of meat, starch, chips, chocolate, and ice cream. I'm looking to lose weight, increase energy, and improve metabolic health.
For me, I only take what I can't get in my food or not enough of. For example, I take lugals and a b2 and b3 complex for my thyroid health. I also take magnesium and potassium for my electrolyte health, I tend to be low magnesium for some reason. And lastly I take DHA because I don't eat a lot of seafood.
I think supplements are fine, as long as they are high quality. I also think its important to take some supplements in conjunction with others, like D3 with K2 and if doing high levels of D3 supplementation making sure to include magnesium as well. I try to get most of my nutrients from my food and the sun (in the case of D). I've been experimenting with an organ supplement because I hate the taste of liver, and I take magnesium every night before bed. As far as coffee, I think its fine. You can try eliminating it for a few weeks to see if it makes a difference. I recently switched over to Nespresso, they use aluminum pods instead of plastic. As far as mushroom coffee, just read the ingredients label and make sure its free of junk.
@@JennyMitichHow on earth would you determine a good supplement from a bad one, as they aren’t regulated? I think the only way you can tell is if it actually does what it claims 🤷🏻♀️
I’m actually meat, spices, eggs, cheese and some green leafy and cruciferous vegetables. I call it ketovoire. Mainly weight and mild inflammatory issues…
I have cycled on and off of the butter/ghee, meat, fat, and eggs diet in order to lose weight, a little at a time, several times. Works for me. I am hearing a lot lately about adding fruit, but pretty sure in my case, that would lead to a sugar jones.
I started carnivore one year ago after being plant based for 5. Since my issues have comeback or increased. I’m not giving up. I am undergoing autoimmune testing now. One thing I’ve noticed is how much higher salt intake is for carnivores as well as processed meat. I think some of the blanket statements about processed meats and higher salt intake being fine some TH-camrs make should stop. I am finding water reintroducing them back into my diet my symptoms increased. Now I’ve removed all processed meats and salt my joint pain is improving.
Hello and welcome! It seems that you are more sensitive to salt and spices than the average person, and that is ok! You have figured that out and eliminated those foods. Great work :)
Ok... some thoughts: to me, the carnivore diet, strictly, is a limited version of the so-called Keto diet and, what is quite often not mentioned, is that it is somewhat tricky to adapt to ketosis-- and, especially in the beginning, (it) may cause flu like symptoms and lack of energy...(and most carnivores do not mention that this diet will usually change the body's energy systems away from carb-based, that is a fermentation energy (using sugars and carbs break-down processes), and the body switching over to a ketonic energy basis, where the end product is ketones..) *and ketosis, naturally occurs when one cannot find and eat much of anything, as in starving* (so I suggest that if one is smart, they will try to get a basic understanding of what keto is and its good and bad points....) Now, having said that, I personally, and I am NOT an EXPERT or Doctor, but, as clearly mentioned in this video, I would caution first, the use of dairy... and second, the use of eggs... and I say this because personally, I am allergic to dairy, almost all dairy, even cheese... and second, I basically do not like eggs at all, in any form... (just me, I guess... ) Admission, a few years ago, I did keto for almost two years, got my weight down about 50 pounds to my high school size body, BUT, then, issues crept in, and I gave it up... (I was 70 years old at that time and in really good shape, working out, kayaking, etc. all while on keto... ) but then I began to get first, kidney stones, very painful... and this may have been caused by my use of supplements like zinc, magnesium, etc. ... but next came a bout with Shingles, which was so painful, I checked into emergency-- the hospital-- where they lanced two large boils on my back under my shoulder blade, and they kept me overnight... (I had NEVER been in the hospital... never taken much medicine for anything.. never liked alcohol or used drugs...) Well, the next day I was informed that I now had MRSA infection, many of my vital organs were shutting down-- and that I should maybe call my next of kin... (and this place had no real idea of what a keto diet was at that time, had nothing I could safely eat... and they kept the room so cold I was freezing to death...) So, the next day, after having the machines going off all night every 15 minutes, I demanded to be released, and boy what a fight I had with the staff over that... ( I was told that I would surely die, still had to fight the Doctor to get him to let me go... telling him that if he wanted to say good bye, that I would likely be back in the morgue in a day or two... thank-you... that if I was going to die, I wanted to do that at home... etc.) Well, that was SEVEN years ago, and I nursed myself back to good health, but there were many times I told HIM that if he wanted me to go... it was ok, I was ready... NOW, I am going to try this carnivore thing... but I am going to do it the Frank Sinatra way, which is my way... and I may be wrong in all this... but...part of this was all about finding the perfect burger to eat... (without the fries and bun, of course...) But for me, I just want to lose about 30 pounds or so and give my old/young body a boost... and I want to kayak five miles or so without much effort and of course, go dancing every once in a while... But, here is my sin... I will NOT totally go without some sugar... *at age 77* but this is because I am NOT diabetic at all.... and I am talking very, very little,(sugar) and it may keep me out of ketosis... but, so what .? AND, I am fine with that... I feel, for me, that a teaspoon or so of cake frosting is how I am going to cheat on this thing... (because life is no fun unless you cheat on a few minor things... just don't tell lies and cause pain to others) So lets see how this goes.... and I wish you all the best of all... I think I got a few more good years left... with or without sugar and you..... thanks.... rp (just be mentally tough, resilient, and do it your way.... because there really is NO true right way)
I would not do an animal-based diet with fatty meat/high fat dairy. It's important not to have one's Randle-cycle be up-regulated all the time, so that would have to be a very low-fat diet with the energy coming from carbs, and the protein coming from high quality animal protein - but then again this diet is only for metabolically healthy individuals.
I have Graves disease and did Keto at the end of 2019 and lost 60 lbs. and felt Great! I tried to stay on that lifestyle but stressed about our world change in 2020, plus my family was not all on board and we just went back to eating everything. I have been doing a lot of research the last 2 months abouts the Carnivore diet. The last 9 months I have gotten away from all the bioenginered foods and toxic crap. We as a family are starting keto again, but now I really want to go all carnivore to see if it will fix the Graves. I feel I could still do that even if my family stays on keto.
This is not easy to start. I have restarted numerous times at 64 years old I gave up smoking I gave up drinking alcohol but giving up sugar is the hardest thing I have ever had to do to eliminate something from my diet, but I’m going to get there.
I am lactase persistent, as well as 35% of the human population. We are always disregarded. I drink cream top grassfed whole milk, with 0 consequence. Having cream in milk is just budget friendly. If you're craving something sweet, try bison it has a nice sweet flavor, lobster sweet flavor, scallops.
@@trequor Honestly? Nope. I haven’t been to the doctor or had a physical or bloodwork in years, like 10+. I know I should blah, blah, blah…but I’ve had no reason to. I’m 58, fit and trim, on zero meds and I workout everyday. 😁 I practice 18:6 IF along with a weekly 40 hour fast on Saturday and I actually don’t eat a can on Sunday either, just M-F, so just 5 days a week if you want to be technical. 🤣
@@shelfcloud487 You seriously should, SOLELY because of the sardines! Arsenic doesnt care if you're fit and trim. Neither do other heavy metals like mercury. Fish have poisonous metals in them. This normally isnt a problem, unless you ingesting it daily. You probably have a serious buildup in your blood
Great points! I discovered that i wasn't getting enough fats and that's why i was so tired all the time. Had cheese on a burger patty and felt more human.
I suggest slowly adding more protein and fat, while decreasing carbs. I dove right in and paid for it big time! Some people have oxalate dumping which is really painful. So, it’s best to do it slow.
Hello and thank you so much! I think so, but I also do A LOT of skincare treatments and products. But overall tone and hydration have improved for sure
I started carnivore 2 years ago, i lost maybe 40 lbs the first year, i also was very ill. Bed ridden for 6 years. I started feel8ng better right away. I started sleeping so much better, i used to have stabbing pains in my arms and legs , that was horrible. I dont believe in dr.s so 8 havent been for over 50 years, oh yea im old....ive now lost 65 lbs and my arthritis pain is so much better that some days i feel like its completely gone. I see the inches falling off me. The lipedema is better than its been in 50 years its actually going away.
Congratulations. You have persevered though so much. So happy for you
Given me some hope, so glad she your recovery!
Thank you for sharing your story!
Wow, it is so exciting hearing your progress!
😃 Very happy for you and your progress on carnivore
Day 32 sober and day 5 carnivore! I'm eating beef chicken and lamb, grass fed butter, some cheese and eggs. Starting to feel better already!
Nice work! Keep it up :)
@@JennyMitich thank you! I'm a believer after being a naysayer for a long time. I just can't ignore all the amazing life changing stories I've been seeing and reading about recently. I already don't even wanna look back!

Eat red meat,beef will help,much better . Pink salt.👍🙌
I started in August 2023. I lost 30lbs by November 2023. My family came to NY for my cousins wedding mid November. That’s when I fell off the wagon! It’s June now and I’ve gained 10lbs. Inflammation is back in a huge way. I literally do not have ankles! It has been very difficult for me to get back on the program. It’s mid June 2024 and I started my carnivore diet again today. I dont know why it was so difficult to begin again. Well, today is day 1 (again) and I have to stick to the diet in order to lose the weight I gained and get rid of inflammation, anxiety and depression! So here we go again! Wish me luck!..
You've got this!!!
Try adding fasting into your routine. This has been a game changer for me and my cravings for carbs.
Well done just keep reminding yourself it's for health reasons. Good luck
just remember. its not suppose to be easy, but it will be worth it
Its ok to fell off the wagon and get on again, one tip to transition more easily is to remove sugars for a couple of weeks while adding meat, eggs, seafood with salt and when you decide to cut the no-carnivore stuff your body already has been detecting what it needs. This can help to start carnivore more easily.
I’ve messed around with adding fruit Vs just meat eggs and cheese and have found my favorite is mostly beef , eggs , raw cheese , half an avocado once a day and a hand full of blueberries is the sweet spot . Gotta just do what works for you to stick to it long term .
This is hands down the best overall presentation of carnivore diets that I have come across! What a pleasant surprise to find a presenter who gets right to the bottom line in every issue, and does not waste the listener's time with filler or silliness.
I did not plan to subscribe, but now I have subscribed.
Thanks a bunch! Great job!
Thank you so much!
I thought the exact same thing!
So true Straight to the point.
Someone should come up with a table.
Something to remember with fruit. For most of the population, we are genetically adapted to eating only low sugar fruit locally and seasonally, which means a few weeks/months a year to fatten up ready for winter. We are NOT supposed to eat high sugar fruit (today's hybrid fruits are designed to be really sweet) all year around. When I was a kid, apples were small and tart, today's apples are large and sweet. Look at photos of watermelons from 40 years ago and compare to today. Modern fruit is just candy with fibre.
Agreed! The produce we eat today is nothing like what even our ancestors a few hundred years ago wouldve had access to.
@soulTraveller144 ummm, no.
Your mama didn’t buy the good fruit, I guess, because I don’t find apples are any different than 66 years ago when I was a kid. Some are tart and some are sweet.
@soulTraveller144The high carb diet is what is making people fat and sick! God gave us the animals for food. We are human beings with immortal souls, the animals are not!
@soulTraveller144nope.
At age 55, after I shed the’ excess weight’ and regained better fitness with carnivore I saw that I was still visibly flabby. I cannot emphasise enough… do not underestimate how muscles shrink if we are not exercising enough. Being 55kg at age 35 isnt the same body as my 55kg at age 55. I wasnt flabby at 35. It was more bone and muscle and a little fat then. But is clear now that if I shed the current flab, I am going to weigh much less unless I work on rebuilding my shrunken muscles. I share this to urge folks to remember that eating well isnt enough. The muscles and bones need our attention… some daily resistance training, even if it’s morning walks, home squats and exercising with water bottles. The movement coupled with eating carnivore is the healthy way. Those morning walks are really invigorating for the mind and body too. I often get lazy and skip, but when I do walk I feel soooo much better after. As soon as the stamina returns, that spring in the step feels so good. Good luck, everybody. Take care of you.
Great point!
Solid breakdown. I have done ketovore, carnivore, and lion diet. Carnivore seems to be my best balance. Fruits are an absolute no go for me. They just cause me to want sweets. I also lift weights 5 days a week and I find carnivore seems to work best for me with that regimen. I would add almost everybody I know who does some form of carnivore almost NEVER eat enough salt. We are so conditioned that salt is bad that almost everyone skimps on the salt. Don't do it. Salt to me is the super spice that makes carnivore work.
Great points!
Explanation about salt: When you are eating carbs, your insulin eventually remains elevated all the time. Chronically elevated insulin causes your kidneys to retain sodium all the time. That is why carb consumers end up with high blood pressure. In Carnivore, your insulin is not elevated; your kidneys are not ordered to retain sodium all the time; the normal system for controlling your blood pressure is restored. High blood pressure tells the kidneys to excrete sodium. Low blood pressure tells the kidneys to retain sodium. Salt is excreted or retained as needed to maintain normal blood pressure. On Carnivore, if you do not consume enough salt, you could become low in sodium and your kidneys would go back to retaining sodium. So consume salt. On carnivore too much salt will be excreted with urine.
@@JennyMitich I always had trouble with milk and milk products. However this was pasteurized milk. I tried raw milk one day and had absolutely none of the issues I’ve always had with pasteurized stuff. For people who are just sensitive (like me) and not straight up allergic, raw milk might be worth a shot to try
@@bobbiejudd5905 agreed! Raw milk is completely different than what we get at the store
But it is not necessary. Owesley Stanley was carnivore 47 years and did not use salt. He was also an athlete and felt it helped his performance vs using salt
This may be one of the best breakdowns I have seen. Thank you for this. 3 years Carnivore here. Best thing I've ever done for my health.
Thank you so much!
I would only say that if you have a digestion/gut issue, pick something with a little variety of other food for your biome.
@@c4caffeen134 I think you would be surprised. I haven't seen a single person who has tried this way of eating for 90 days or more and hasn't seen major health benefits.
You don't really need "variety" for health. You may think you "need" certain foods because you are bored. If thats the case you may be eating for the wrong reasons.
I’ve been carnivore for 4 months, lost almost 60 lbs!!! Not doing anything super strict, but I’ve reversed my severe chronic pain from fibromyalgia and my ha1c went from 6.4 to 5.3. Also completely eliminated fatty liver.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your story :)
I needed to hear this! I am a walking Dr's appt. book really. AI, previous cancers, HBP, CKD, Chronic Pain, and now told Diabetic with ha1c 6.8. They wanted to do meds and I said no, I am going a different way.
@@JennyMitich happy to share my journey so far! Thanks for your content!
@@ophyjenkins I wish you the best in your healing! Carnivore has done wonders for my health so far, I hope it will do the same for yours. 😊
@alliward6040. Would you share what a week of eating looks like for you? I looked into carnivore a couple of years ago and just didn’t think I could do it. I have about 60-65 lbs to lose as well. Really looking for something that will work and is sustainable!
I was eating pork rinds as a snack in the beginning. I didn't lose weight until I quit the pork rinds
I'm not on carnivore, I'm watching clips to learn.. and I am trying to do it, but I'm not doing it 100%. BUT the reason I'm commenting is because I've seen several folks say that they weren't losing until they eliminated one item.. some say cheese.. some say milk.. some say other things, so I think it's important to test foods, eliminate at times to see the effect.
I've been carnivore for 1 week now. I'm 31. Energy levels are much more stable, my anxiety is basically completely gone, it's much easier to focus, and I'm not experiencing anymore bloating and IBS problems. My skin looks much healthier too. It's kinda hard because I really enjoy vegetables but I think it's worth it.
Wonderful!
Adding fruit triggered non-stop cravings for me. Without fruit, I barely think of food at all.
Hello and thank you for sharing! That is the case for a lot of people unfortunately :(
That's interesting. Whole fruit is no problem for me. I love an orange or Apple occasionally. It's the only sugar intake I get and I consider it okay because the fiber in the fruit buffers the insulin spike
I do fine with fruit and honey. Everyone has to figure out what works best for them. Our upbringing and health status impacts a lot!
@@jennprescott2757 so true!
I do well with fruits until a life stressor hits and I raid my fridge. If I’m all meats the only things I have prepped keep me in carnivore and keto.
I choose the most affordable version of Carnivore because I shop at Walmart -
🔘 lots of hard boiled eggs AND/OR fried eggs
🔘 canned sardines packed in water
🔘 🧈 butter
🔘 fatty red meat - less expensive cuts like boneless chuck
🔘 bacon
Yum!
@@JennyMitich 😃😍👍
Look for great 🥩🍗🍖🥓meat sales…read the weekly grocery flyers on line… buy a vacuum sealer and buy only meats on sale and stock up…avoid freezer burn. Never pay full price for meats‼
I never, ever do! Not ever!
@@gladysobrien1055😃 Thank You so much for the tip. I appreciate your input. 😄😍👍
@@vangodwinmyyoutubealias7592 Anytime!
Oh, I bought SIRLOIN TIP STEAK … it was half price only $4.97/pound. I had never eaten this cut of beef before… so, since ground beef half price is $4.00/pound…I thought how can I go wrong when steak is only $1 more than sale ground beef⁉ Right⁉Well, this meat is tough…so, I experimented…I placed a single serving of beef in a cereal bowl and squirted it with 2-3 tbsp (gluten free, 🇨🇦French’s Brand) Worcestershire Sauce…and let it just sit and marinade a whopping two hours! Grilled it on my Weber Q2400 electric BBQ and sprinkled Montreal Steak Spice on both sides! Grill it to my preferred taste…and it melted in my mouth!
Delicious‼Now, I wonder if there is going to be another sale soon‼
Started pre-menopause and felt like absolute crap. Started doing carnivore and it's changed my life. Losing weight and energy is at an all time high. My family sees the difference and support my choice.
Yess i feel ya! i was in a bad pre menopause and it literally dissapeared with this diet!
Wonderful! I'm glad you are feeling better :)
You are blessed to have your family's support! Not everyone has this.
Yeah.. I have a few friends and family members telling me that I NEED fiber and fruits/veggies in my diet! Sorry, NOT sorry...I'll do ME, Thanks!!@littleone31917

Jenny, I think it should really be emphasized how toxic seed and vegetable oils are. Even if someone is not going to do carnivore they should cut out all oils that do not come from animals. After that, all nightshades, high oxalate foods, and grains.
Agreed! I will be sure to emphasize that more in future videos.
Yes but as far as oxIates, if you have calcium with that food, it binds the ox's so you excrete them back out.
Modern processed foods are like eaten food from alien planets
What is nightshade
@@writegrace it’s a type of plant. Tomatoes are nightshades
May 2023 I was ill…I lost 40 pounds in 30 days…I threw up everything I ate. I was in terrible pain… so, June 1, I went to Emerg and in 12 hours I was diagnosed with a torn diaphragm and a hiatus hernia. I was immediately positioned in line for emergency surgery THAT DAY‼
Ah, but my Texas Rescue Chihuahua Service dog, Mariposa, was with me. And I had no one who could care for her whilst I was recovering post op in hospital. SO…
I signed myself out of Emerg and went home…at the protest of the doctors and nurses. BUT SURPRISE… NO ONE told me that I could eliminate the excruciating stomach pain by getting rid of veggies. It was ALL trial and error… one day I would eat a 🍔burger…I was fine…next day, same 🍔burger with a leaf of 🥬lettuce and I thought I would die. The only way I could get rid of the horrible pain was fast, fast 72 to 100 hours. So, I eliminated all vegetables. I was so very hungry…that timidly, I began with a 🍳fried egg. I gobbled it up = no pain. So, I fried another🍳🍳and in about 4 weeks I increased my egg intake to 🍳🍳🍳🍳four a day. Still, very low in calories. My weight dropped very rapidly…total loss in less than six months is 115 pounds. If I eat too much, I hurt…so, I try to eat three times a day. Small meals. Slowly, I added meats with my eggs. 🥩🍳And I feel great. I am trying to eat as much as possible …those last 10 pounds wrinkled my face horribly even at 65…I am trying to slow down my weight loss. I do want to lose 50 pounds more…but ultra slowly. Now, my family MD does want me to undergo surgery…thinking I cannot live on meat alone…but I explained…what am I missing⁉Today’s vegetables are not the nutritious veggies WE ALL grew up with…full of pesticides, GMO and glyphosate…my body does not need that‼I enjoy 🍗🥩🍖🍔meats, 🍳eggs, I can eat 🧀Cheese, 🧈butter, cream🫗, I can eat 🧅🧄🫒🍈onion, garlic, olives, spices 🌶yes, hot jalapeño 🌶pickled peppers even dill pickles🥒…so my diet is full of variety. I enjoy bulletproof coffee☕, Turkish Coffee☕ 🧊homemade 🍋lemon iced tea. I grill beef steaks 🥩on my Weber Q2400 outdoor electric BBQ, I have setup a complete outdoor kitchen on my balcony, all electric, to fry bacon🥓➕🍳eggs everyday without messing the kitchen. Plus I have a Kalorik Pro 1600 degree restaurant quality steak grilling oven…that I moved to the balcony, too. Plus a sun umbrella ⛱Covid did something to me…while under quarantine, I decided to sequester and really lean how to KETO/CARNIVORE cook. I bought practically every kitchen appliance known to man plus three different ice cream makers. And, I have a beautiful marble dining table & a 🪑patio rocking chair‼Yes, I can eat🍨 ice cream which I make from just eggs🥚🥚🥚and 🧈butter ➕ stevia and vanilla. Or 🍧cream cheese ➕🥚🥚➕stevia and vanilla. Delicious‼I have discovered I can bake the occasional cheese cake…sweetened with stevia…and if I want a fruity flavour…I add a tsp of Lor Ann fruit extract…either 🍒cherry or 🍓strawberry or raspberry even blueberry🫐. Then there is 🍋lemon, or 🍎🍏apple flavour, 🍐pear, 🍌banana, 🥭mango. 🍮🍮🍮Flans baked with heavy cream and eggs are delicious‼YES, this modified carnivore is very easy…I KNOW I can eat this way for the remainder of my life and save 💵💵💵💲💲💲Money not 🛒🛒🛒wasting money 💵💵💵on useless veggies. 🥬🥦🥬🫑🥕🌽🍅🥑🍅
And that is my reason for sticking to what I call CARNIVORE PLUS➕‼NO SURGERY NEEDED‼
And May I point out…our healthcare is free here in 🇨🇦Canada…the surgery and after care of a week in hospital would not have cost me a single dime‼‼‼
AND I STILL REFUSE SURGERY. HELLO CARNIVORE‼

Thank you so much for sharing your story and I am glad that you were able to improve your health without surgery! Amazing 😊
I really enjoyed your story. Thank you. You have greatly inspired me to try this. I feel like I'd be so sick of just eating meat and nothing else but it's great to hear how you have added some variety to endure. Please share your recipe for ice cream and coffee if you don't mind? I'd really appreciate it ❤
I think it’s perfect for me too this kind of diet😊😊😊
@@sherridenkeogh4770 Hello, I would most pleased to share all I do eat. 🍽And how I cook. I am never ever bored‼You can kindly ask Jenny to provide you with my email address too, if you like…I will help you on your journey. I will help anyone‼☺
I also make sure I eat salmon 🦈once every twenty years, or so, I hate 🦈salmon…that makes me a terrible 🇨🇦Canadian🇨🇦Not loving our 🦈native fish‼
The 🧈Butter ☕☕coffee is the ☕☕BULLETPROOF coffee that Dave Asprey perfected…I began very skeptically drinking it and it changed my life. I always prepare a huge 16 ounce mug full. If you cannot find a 16 ounce coffee mug upgrade to a large glass beer 🍺mug it will work splendidly‼Due to the fact I can only eat about 5-6 ounces total per meal…I find some days I climb the walls with real hunger.
It, the hunger, drives me crazy. So, I have realized those are the days my food is lacking in fats…so I have returned to drinking Bulletproof Coffee. Even 🕰mid day!
I French Press brew about 14 ounces coffee…instant is ok, too.
And pour it into my blender.
To the coffee, I add, 1 scoop collagen powder.
I sweeten with NOW BETTER stevia powder to taste. This stevia is my go to for everything and the cheapest stevia in 🇨🇦Canada at 🇨🇦💵$86.00/pound. Use 1/2 tsp = 1/2 cup white sugar in all recipes‼
A couple of hefty shakes of cinnamon.
And 1 tbsp MCT oil …which I truly measure
And I slice off 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter
And add that to the blender…and I blitz.☕
I really whip the ingredients to create a huge foamy cappuccino-like foamy mug of coffee!
Optional add ons…
If I make the coffee 50% stronger…
I add 1 tbsp egg yolk powder and it becomes a breakfast on the go‼No you will not taste the egg yolk. Or add one 🥚fresh egg…no it will not cook in the coffee…but become extra extra creamy. You will not taste it‼
As for the ice cream…🍧🍨🍦🍧🍨🍦
I own the $999.99 🇨🇦Cuisinart ICE-100 built-in freezer ice cream maker…which I bought in 2012. You should have seen the look on the salesman’s face when I explained that I required an 🍧🍨🍦ice cream maker to follow a high fat diet to lose weight‼‼
This is a great ice cream maker for a quick one or two serving recipe. Sure you can churn a quart in an hour…but I discovered…it is faster to prepare ice cream fresh daily in say, 15-17 minutes‼
Then in 2022, everyone online in the keto 🌎sphere was raving about the NINJA CREAMI.
I watched every TH-cam video I could find.
In about ten months…I was absolutely convinced I NEEDED a Ninja Creami. It is a marvel of culinary scientific ice cream prep.
See my bulletproof coffee recipe above…pour it into a Creami jar and freeze it for 24 hours…and then “spin” or “process” it according to Ninja directions…and it whips up into a most creamy, smooth, delicious dessert‼A miracle, an amazing creamy frozen coffee ice cream keto high fat dessert sensation, gee…what other delicious words can I use⁉Get my drift? …even my 🇺🇸Adopted 🇺🇸Texas Rescue chihuahua loves this stuff‼🍨🍧🍨🍧She eats my meat carnivore diet and I add low carb veggies to her plate and stopped shedding her fur completely! I buy veggies only for her!
ICE CREAM BASE RECIPE (s) 🍦🍨🍧
I use (and have tried all brands) of fruit extracts that I import from the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 To buy them it is very 💲💲💲a $40.00🇺🇸
Order can have a landed 🇨🇦Cost of just over $120.00🇨🇦💵 after shipping ✈and duty!
And now,I have discovered that the 🇨🇦Michaels Craft Store sells LorAnn for $15.00 a four ounce bottle. It is hands down the best brand of flavouring in the marketplace.
In 2014, I ate 🍋sensational 🍋Lemon Ice Cream every day for lunch. And enjoyed every creamy tangy bite‼In my blender…
I cracked 2 very fresh large eggs
The grated rind of about 1/2 a large lemon
The juice of half a lemon
2-3 tbsp soft butter
And I used stevia powder to sweeten to taste
Blitz
Poured the foamy rich ice cream base into my Cuisinart ice cream maker and churned it about 15 minutes. Served. TRULY Enjoyed.
I have not figured out the Ninja ratios of this recipe…yet.
So…keep reading…
FOR THE NINJA CREAMI…🍨🍧🍦
My inspiration for one of my recipes is from Anita, Ketogenic Woman on TH-cam. She is very strict carnivore these days check her out.
My take on CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM
In a very low powdered 175-200 watt blender…place the following ingredients:
4 ounces soft cream cheese
4 fresh large or extra large eggs
2 tbsp MCT oil
I scoop collagen powder
1 tsp NOW BETTER STEVIA powder
1 tsp vanilla…masks the smell of eggs
((Optional… add 1tsp LorAnn fruit extract your choice of flavour 🍓🍌🍎🍒🍑🫐…yes, vanilla plus fruit extract in the batch.)
Pour into ninja container…if volume does not reach the fill line on the container add water!
Freeze 24 hours.
The next day, “spin” on the Lite cycle
On the Ninja Creami selection board.
And then… Re-spin two more times‼
The resulting ice cream will be as smooth and richer with superb mouth feel that beats Haagen -Dazs hands down…sugar free.
Way back in the 1970’s in the Dr. Atkins Day, ice cream recipes never quite succeeded due to the fact that the sweeteners would freeze rock solid hard. The Ninja Creami solves this dilemma…it is an appliance that is genius‼
That is why I can turn the Bulletproof Coffee into dessert, if I want to‼😋😋😋
I hope this helps.
I also believe in …
FRENCH PRESS COLD BREW COFFEE‼
TEAS OF ALL VARIETIES and flavours
SUN ICED TEA
Owning an ice making machine…for instant ice.
Enjoying a double shot of Turkish coffee
Using True Lemon crystals in iced tea and anywhere I need a hit of lemon flavour…i no longer buy 🍋🍋🍋which are $1.00 ++ ea.
I buy True Lemon in the value 500 count box.
I BELIEVE, that if a new kitchen appliance will assist us with cooking…keto or carnivore…and keep us on tract and not fall off the diet wagon…that saves our lives…those appliances are of greatest importance to us.
BECAUSE I can eat spices…I buy all the unique spice blends that interest me. And some SPICEOLOGY brands sell for over $50.00 a large container here in Canada🇨🇦
I believe that THE KETO AND CARNIVORE 🌎WORLD really needs a comprehensive recipe book of about 750➕➕➕JUST 🥚🥚🥚egg recipes from all over the 🌎world. Using different spices, cooking methods to offer us true variety when we want to save lots of 💵 money quickly in a month… and never ever become bored with eggs. What do you want to save for⁉
But, I admit it… I can eat 🥓and 🍳crispy fried eggs cooked in bacon fat each and every day and never tire of them, NEVER‼
I hope this helps you and everyone who has spent the time to reply to your query.

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 I applaud you!
Lion is a great, easy way to start off. But I'm a firm believer in balanced diet, elimination(problem) foods aside. So eggs, dairy, and fruit/nuts are crucial to get micro nutrients and trace carbs for healthy hormone function. Unless you have some serious disease that prevent you from variety eating, i feel the balanced path is best. Remember, all carbs are not bad, your body is designed for them. The problem is usually over eating them or a rouge protein intolerance (gluten, etc.) That causes problems.
Yeah I'm finding after decades of waaaaay too much sugar, binge drinking alcohol, medications that raise blood sugar, I'm going full keto/ carnivore with an emphasis on ZERO carbs/ sugar... but after my body fully heals/ adapts to burning fat, I do think I'll reintroduce high fat dairy, low carb veggies, and finally organic mixed berries. Currently all my brain fog is gone and I have very high energy so I'll reintroduce the above foods one by one.
Hey just so you know, "beef/salt/water" and "all ruminants/salt/water" are both lion diet. There is no difference between lamb, bison, elk, venison, beef etc. for the purposes of lion diet. Lion diet was designed (and the name coined) by Mikhaila Peterson as a way of defining the least allergenic form of carnivore possible. All red meat falls into the "least allergenic" category due to the fact that ruminant animals have the lowest amount of plant toxin carryover of all animals one might eat. In fact, due to histamine intolerance, Mikhaila herself spent two years eating only lamb because she couldn't find a good source of unaged beef.
Also, technically there is something even stricter, and that's no-salt lion diet. Doesn't work great for athletes but for others it's actually completely fine to forgo salt as long as you have good quality natural water that hasn't had all the electrolytes purified out. Cheers!
Great points! Thank you :)
I’ve listened to the Peterson’s videos and I believe it was Mrs. Tammy Peterson that ate lamb only because she couldn’t find unaged beef. From what I’ve seen Mikhaila eats beef and salt only, as does her father, Jordan. Anyway, yes, some people have a histamine intolerance and can’t eat aged meat. I have no idea what the symptoms are that would tell you this, do you?
@@suew4609 Sorry, you've got it confused. Tammy does eat lamb, but it was Mikhaila who was eating it in place of beef, until she was able to find an unaged beef source. I've been following Mikhaila for a couple years and that has been consistently part of her story when she tells it, both on her own channel and in interviews with others.
As for how to tell, I think it's probably a little different for everyone. The most common symptoms are getting a runny or congested nose when eating, skin itchiness with or without welts/hives, acne, digestive problems (bloating, diarrhea, gas, nausea), and headaches.
The Lion diet is nothing more than a subset of the carnivore diet. Again, just people making up subjective names to suit themselves. Very much pointless. Before all this non-sense, it was just called Zero-Carb. Makes perfect sence as that it what it actually is.
I like your info. Thanks! I'm suspicious of the no salt option. It sounds too dangerous.
Was strictly carnivore for 14 months. Lost 50 lbs. Blood work showed Homocystine 13.7 and RDW 16.2 out of range. Now added organic leafy greens, asparagus, avocados etc. to bring down homocysteine level. Still very low carb but likely more in the ketovore range.
Nice! Ketovore is awesome too :)
@@JennyMitichCarnivore and keto is dangerous garbage. Low fat plant based is The ONLY diet that can cure things. Medical medium information

I agree. Jenny is an exceptional teacher/presenter. Nuanced, clear, concise, efficient, warm, and very human.
@@littleone31917 thank you😊😊😊
@@JennyMitich It's all true. 😊
I noticed this also. She doesn't throw in all the filler like some presenters. She does not waste our time!!
I’m a meat and fruit. Burgers eggs and watermelon.
Please tell me how you feel. I eat watermelon. It's just the best. Refreshing.
Change the watermelon to papaya or pineapple, the enzymes break down the meat easier....there actually diets based on pineapple/ papaya with meat from the 60s
As someone whose body doesn’t respond well to dairy, I loved this breakdown. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How do you know your body doesn't respond well to dairy?
@@elizabethcobb3316 typically cut it for at least 30 days and then reintroduce it. For me, it’s slight digestive issues like bloating and mental health symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dairy is inflammatory to most people and they don’t even realize it because they’ve always had it in their diets
I'm eating beef, lamb and yolks only + sardines sometimes. It suits me best and causes none digestive problems.
I'm starting today, doing the meat plus raw dairy, I can't wait to see the results and health benefits! I'm only 18 and I already get swollen veins under my legs, I'm not obese or anything but would like to lose a couple of pounds... Wish me luck Y'all! 💖
Good luck!
I started carnivore 11/2 yrs ago. Lost 80. I feel best on lion but I am a chef sooooo I do bbbe and add dairy on weekends. A couple days a week I am lion. That way I do not feel deprived. I love sour cream on my meat. It is a reward in a way. In my 60’s feel better than I did in hs.
I started strict carnivore almost a year ago but i noticed that my jiu jitsu workouts were a little flat so I ate a little fruit separately when I ate the meat so that it doesn't interfere with mineral absorbtion and my workouts improved. Thank you for your videos they are very informative. May god bless and protect you and your family
Thank you so much! Yea, it took almost a full year to get back to full strength for me
I didn’t notice my workouts being worse though I take test so there’s that lol
I’m new to this since researching this for the past two months by watching Dr. Ken D Berry. This video was very helpful in explaining the differences in Carnivore. Well done.
Glad it was helpful!
Jenny, I just watched your interview with Dave M. You mentioned "optimal baseline is higher". I want to share something with you that I wrote. It is long and I don't know if this will work. (I deleted a bunch so this would send.)
This is an attempt to spark an interest into what some know as the Carnivore Diet. This is NOT an attempt to get everyone or anyone to go Carnivore. It is an attempt to spark interest of people, or even one person, to do some research and make an informed choice between Carnivore, something similar to Carnivore, and the Standard American Diet. Much of what I have written is not something I have read or heard, but pieced together by many things I have learned and thought out. This may not all be 100% correct but in my opinion close enough. Take it for what you will.
SOMETHING CHANGED: A hundred years ago, health problems were related to infections and injury. Now, we have diseases for every system of the body. We need medications to make our bodies work right. How did we ever survive hundreds of thousands of years of evolution without our medication? Something changed. Some say it is the switch from eating mostly protein and fat to eating mostly carbohydrates. Others say it is the consumption of seed oils and highly processed food (which contain seed oil). Some say it is both.
BAD GENES: Many people think that the reason they have chronic diseases or conditions is because they were born with a bad set of genes. This is mostly NOT true (my opinion). The human body is wondrous. We are not designed wrong. It is our diet. Gut biome also plays a role and that is based on what we eat and what antibiotics we have been given.
LETS CHANGE THE WAY AMERICA EATS AND FAIL TO MONITOR THE RESULTS: In the military, we practiced Total Quality Management. We may have been doing something a certain way for a long time. If a change is suggested, what is the reason? What is the problem we want to fix? What changes are we going to make to fix the problem? How are we going to measure the results of our solution? The food pyramid was a change. The problem was heart disease. Had they followed up to see if the change produced the desired result, they would have seen that things were worse. What a disaster! Oh, to top it off, the military must follow the dietary guidelines. It is testament to (something), when you make a change, have disastrous results, and do not re-think the situation. Many good men and women, some of whom I served with and ran around the decks of the ship with, trying to help them lose weight, were discharged because they failed to meet the fitness standards no matter how hard they tried. They were not the problem. It was the food. But who would have thought that to lose weight, you had to consume fat?
EVOLUTION I: Does evolution from the past have anything to do with what we should be eating today for optimum health, physical performance, and mental performance. Of course it does! The diet on which and to which a species evolves is that specie’s proper diet forever. We ate meat based, primarily fatty red meat and fish. If we ate plant based, it was because we could not get meat. If we ate plant based, our body knew there was something wrong, we may be facing famine, so our body stored fat. We did not have to think it. Our hormones made the choice for us. In this case, the hormone insulin. When we ate fatty red meat, we did not store fat. We needed to be lean, strong, and mentally keen to hunt animals. It is the same today. When we eat an animal based diet, we do not store fat. When we eat a plant based diet, we store fat. When we ate fatty meat, our body was optimizing our mental, physical, and offspring producing abilities. When we ate carbs, our body shifted from optimizing our mind and body, to optimizing our chance of surviving a famine. In the past, we primarily ate the food that kept us in the optimization mode. Today, we primarily eat the food that places our body in the suboptimal mode, focused on surviving famine. We may no longer need this feature of our evolution but it is still there. When we eat plant based, insulin is elevated. With insulin elevated, we store fat, reduce BMR (to conserve energy); turn off autophagy (now is not the time for repair), and retain sodium (because we don’t get salt from plants). Since many say that Carnivore lifts the fog from the brain, I would have to say that in the suboptimal mode apparently our brain is subdued somewhat to again conserve energy and survive famine.
CHOOSE YOUR FUEL: Since your brain consumes the most energy, your choice of fuel affects the brain the most. Your choices of fuel are limited, glucose or fat. One molecule of glucose equals 32 units of energy (ATP). One molecule of fatty acid equals 122 units of energy (ATP). Glucose is not as stable as fat (saturated fat). Converting glucose to ATP produces ROS and free radicals as a byproducts. ROS (reactive oxygen species) and free radicals damage cells. We age due to the accumulation of this cellular and mitochondrial damage. Saturated fat is very stable. Converting saturated fat to ATP does not produce ROS and free radicals. Unsaturated fats, like vegetable oil and seed oils, are very unstable and should be avoided.
Hello and thank you so much for sharing! This is wonderful :)
Thanks for this, appreciate it. Glad to know my carnivore lifestyle is not producing more ros!
Coming from England and having an American fiance, i cant believe how bad American food is , lol bread that lasts for months and milk the same , milk lasts 7 days At most in Europe and bread a few days . Meat here doesn't contain growth hormone .
Its a literall minefield shopping in usa
Yep! Welcome to America LOL
All well said. Yes, it took many of us a while to get to Carnivore, we need patience for it to work for us. Great chat Jenny. 👏🇦🇺
Thank you :)
Beef, eggs, a littel cheese and heavy cream. I do drink coffee
Coffee is fine 😅
Im 20 years old now, in the 7th grade i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, hashimotos, celiac disease, and mthfr. At 12, I was diagnosed with pcos. At 19, I was diagnosed with POTS and interstitial cystitis. Years and years of going to western doctors AND holistic doctors and i dont feel like im going to get any better. Finally, I've decided to take my health into my own hands and try to find a solution myself instead of being complacent with doctors letting me down.
Hello and welcome! Have you started Carnivore yet?
Amen you have a strong reason. Go for it. From a 60 yr old fibromyalgia victim. Feeling amazing after 2 months on carnivore
You should look into veganism
- Not
I have all that in a similar story! Guanfacine really helps my pots. Took 30 years to get a doctor who knew that. Myofascial release work with a PT or LMT is so helpful to me. And low histamine diet is necessary. I focus on carnivore bc it makes it easier for me. And I do lmnt drink - for fibro and common allergies, I only use the watermelon or flaborless.
I totally gave you unsolicited info. If you don't like, please ignore. If any helps, yay.
Ghee is ideal to sub for butter because the milk fat which burns is removed, along with lactose. It almost doubles the smoke point and allows cooking on high heat. I use it to sear everything, then melt extra for the sauce. I add lemon juice and zest with the butter to add a kick. Or add spices.
Wow amazing thank you for the ghee tip being in the UAE it is what I also use,I am 2 days in but I am still doing research as well.i must say I am drinking a lot of water and I eat about 2 meals that seriously fills me up…what can I drink besides water
Sic, I love ghee and use it regularly. It is also easy to make, but I found a brand I like so I purchase it also.
I think you forgot age as a factor. I'm 71 and in fairly good health, especially since going carnivore about a year ago. I'm finding that it's very difficult to lose weight at this age. For that reason, I avoid dairy and certainly can't eat fruit.
Same age as you on carnivore for 50 days and am so happy that I made the decision to try it…have managed to lose 7 lbs 16 left to lose but energy level is off the charts and life is good and carnivore is so manageable!
Have you tried intermittent fasting eat meals in a small window atleast 20hr daily fast ❤
71 also and weight loss is very very slow. Have to be very strict and keep to only ruminant meats eggs water. Three months and have lost only 15lbs. Feel great and my arthritis is about 75% improved. Mental clarity is way up too.
I’m 66 and I felt terrible on meat only. I was chronically nauseous and had bowel issues I don’t want to remember. I felt unwell and my chronic pain didn’t lesson after 3 months. When I added back a piece of fruit with each meaI, I felt so much better, and began to finally lose weight. I don’t think any diet is for everyone. Do what feels good for you, as no one but you knows how you feel!
@@suew4609 I can't agree more. I get so annoyed with Lions who think everybody has to do it THEIR way or it's not 'cvore'... but if you're majority animal foods, you're close enough & doing better than most ppl out there to clean things up & take care of your health. Ppl need time to adjust and changes will be made along the way
There is also a lot of cheese that is basically lactose free. I am lactose intolerant, but can still enjoy swiss, cheddar, and and mozzarella.
I am currently doing meat, fruit, and veggies. It's working and I feel great.
That is great!
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your pregnancy. I had 4 babies enjoyed all 4 even though I gained 50# each time. Was dairy farming at the time and nursed all of them so the weight came off within 6 months without trying. At the age of 60 I wished I could say that again 😅.
Hello! I wish I was one of those people that enjoyed it, mine was not fun. Hoping the next one goes better, I think it will :)
Your video is so clear and helpful, thanks a lot!
You are welcome!
I have RA, currently I’m at the point where even walking is very very painful. I’m going to do this diet, I can’t live like this. This pain is off the charts. I want to get better.
Hello and I think that is a great idea!
I really enjoy your content!👍
I appreciate that!
I am an organic gardener. I trade my organic produce with other local folks as much as I can for cash to buy meat or for free range eggs, while keeping the herbs and spices I grow to season all of that yummy meat! There is always an option! I dehydrate or can my jalapenos to add some kick to ground beef recipes!
Nice! Sounds tasty :)
Thank you so much for this Video. This has been THE MOST concise nutrient rich Carnivore centered video I've come across, which prompted me to share it with my friend and see about trying out Carnivore together.
Thank you so much!
Yes! The most concise and informative!
At last ... Common sense. I'm 77 and at 84 days on cnvr and had to add a tiny amount of fruit to keep blood sugar level. And to overcome boredom with all meat. We are all different. It's experimental until you get it right. Good info.❤
Hello and thank you so much!
Plateaus are so depressing to deal with.
But I learned years ago a helpful trick: even if you’re not losing weight you are losing inches. Your body is reshaping itself.
Stick to the diet. Measure yourself. You’ll be surprised.
Once I was on a two month plateau but I kept focused, and once the weight started coming off again I measured myself and I’d lost 29”.
Agreed! I have been stuck around 153 for months, but my body comp is changing due to strength training.
I was keto and stepped in to Carnivore to loose 5 pounds. Also started my menopause and needed to regulate the hormones. This is my second month.
1. Gained 2 pounds but body composition changed
2. Hot flashes and night sweats are almost gone.
3. Vision is improving some days I do not use readers at all.
4. Lots of energy
5. Zero cravings
6. Good mood and clarity all the time.
7. Less joint pain and no soreness after workouts.
8. Still drinking coffee and noticed my sleep is affected by coffee!
9. Confession has to be made I still have occasional cocktail. I had no health issues and was already eating good. But cutting nuts and veggies out made a huge difference on my gutt health!
I did 24 h. Fast and was amazing. Planing to do again.
@@relocatetoncwithrealtormaia amazing results! That’s awesome👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Due to what I've read about the Randle Cycle and glycation I must dissuade everyone from carnivore and fruit diet. Glycation is the misshaping of proteins due to sugars such that they do not function properly. Collagen misshaping is especially noticeable with skin wrinkles. Fructose is a worse culprit than glucose. Avoid ALL types of sugars and carbs for best health. There are no essential carbs in the human diet.
Awesome video! I just recently started a keto/ carnivore deit. I have been eating like 80 ish percent meat, eggs, cheese. The other 20 is a mixture of broccoli, apples or pears, and mixed greens. I'm loving it! Cut out all pastas, breads, sugars/syrups other than whole fruit. I can tell my stomach is way slimmer and feel great 👍
I went for the one with dairy. I’m not interested in loosing too much weight. And I like cheese and raw cream. I have found it really helps my arthritis. And hoping that my back issues will disappear
Going into month #2
And I do use some seasonings
Mostly salt pepper garlic
And lots of butter!!!😊
That's great! Im glad you're seeing results :)
Excellent video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for this. As someone who is dairy intolerant though I can tell you lactose mostly isn't the issue, it's the casein (milk protein) which triggers inflammation and more specifically casein A1 which is a mutated version of the casein that was traditionally found in cow dairy (casein A2). Casein A2 is what's found in goat and sheep's cheese and some older more traditional cow races, but most of the milk and cheese we get in the west is A1 and much more inflammatory.
The reason why butter works even for people like me who don't tolerate casein A1 well is not that the lactose has been removed but that there is barely any protein either. It's important to mention that because some might think they'll do fine with lactose free cow cheeses, but since those have a high amount of A1 casein they will still cause most people the same symptoms. If you have such symptoms and want to have dairy you probably wanna limit it to butter and goat and sheep's cheeses.
I do: meat, chicken, seafood, cheese, eggs, jalapeños, avocado, garlic, tomatoes, some nuts, cilantro, onions, some leafy salad and coffee… won’t let that go.
@@arrozconpollo4675 so thats not carnivore thats keto.
Yum! Sounds delish :)
@@JennyMitich yup....keep taking the tablets love
Just found your channel. Thanks for the info. I have been Carno for 1 year. Minimal wt loss due to extremely high insulin. No one talks about this!!! I struggled with cravings and did take 'breaks' just to keep from carnivore 'fatigue'. It always back fires and I end up feeling like crap. I think like you, I need to have a few veggies and shift to meat based.....IDK. Just went Lion diet, 2 ribeyes daily 18:6 fasting. BG normal now BUT having sleep disturbance due to extremely low BG during the night.....50! So I'm going to switch my first meal to 12pm and last meal to 6 pm so I can have better sleep thanks to your video on that.😘 I think your videos are really based in sane measured thought.
Thank you so much! Do you track your food? You may not be eating enough.
I use magnesium glycinate because we don't get it from the water anymore with all of the filtering we do and soil depletion.
Good clear direction
Thanks!
People that think theyre allergic to eggs should try farm fresh they dont spray the outsides with preservatives like all store bought eggs have. I found thats what i was allergic to.
The issue with commercial eggs is not that they spray them with preservatives, but that they wash them in a bleach and other chemical solution that penetrates the pours of the egg shells. You don't have this with farm fresh eggs. Also, people who are sensitive to chicken eggs usually can eat duck eggs as the protien in duck eggs is different than in chicken eggs.
Eggs were making me feel sick and giving me all day heartburn as well as indigestion. On a whim I tried pasture raised organic eggs (Happy Egg) and they did not make me ill or give me heartburn. I thought it was a fluke so I tested it out in different ways - nope, in my case it is absolutely legit.
We had our own chickens, so our eggs weren't sprayed or washed with anything, and my daughter was still extremely sensitive to them. When we found out (had food sensitivity tests), I sold the chickens and got some young ducks. We had a wait of several months before the ducks started laying, and my daughter -- who is autistic and has lupus -- was doing MUCH better without any eggs in her diet. Finally started getting duck eggs, and nope. She can't eat those either. I have considered trying quail (again), but suspect she wouldn't tolerate quail eggs any better, so probably won't do that again.
@@kathleensanderson3082 , wow, now that's a real egg allergy. Best to the both of you. My daughter has cerebral palsy so I'm with you.
Funny, because my sister and I are both allergic to eggs. Now I can't eat them at all, I did try, but my sister had found that farm fresh eggs don't bother her. Odd how that works out.
I went from BBBE (not very long) - but it was too difficult and I’m a food addict… adding veggies and minimal carb/sugar fruits is way more sustainable for me!
I have had juvenile arthritis since for as long as I can remember. I remember trying to describe the pain to my mom., My best description was that it felt like something was eating my bones. The doctor told her it was growing pains. At 50, this is the first time I have ever known what it was like to not always be in pain. I would have days of less pain or more pain, but have never had no pain until carnivore. Also, I am able to identify the foods that make me miserable after eating them. This was a great break down of the diet for people trying to figure out where to start and why.
Wow, thank you for sharing your story! That is incredible 😊
So happy for you, it probably feels like an alien left your body because you were feeding it fat and protein…enjoy your path to health and happiness…thank God each and every day too!
@@kathleendellavia7862 yes. I'm so thankful, but sad for a life of pain that was such an easy fix. Everything I did that I thought was healthy was, in fact, what was making me feel so bad.
Don’t look behind just look ahead and set a goal to do a 5k race, walk it, you meet so many in-kind people, get a bike ride it in your neighborhood, go to church during the week…do something you’ve never been able to do or could even attempt to do…one feather in your cap at a time…feeling and being healthy is more important than all the wealth you could accumulate! You got a second chance because you listened and learned…me too… 🙏🤗
@soulTraveller144Wrong! That’s what made me sick, all of those vegetable toxins. What are you selling?
Started OMAD 3 months ago and lost too much weight. One month ago started “meat-based” and I feel amazing. I eat all meats you can think of but also salads. At dinner i also have a bit of fruit. This combination works for me the best. Also changed the way I work out. No more long distance running just sprints and weights. I’m 50 and feel like I’m in the best shape of my life. Testosterone also increasing
Great job!
I have been on Carnivore for 3 years after 10 on keto. I'm 67 years old and I teach martial arts and work two full-time jobs. The longer I've been on Carnivore the more I realize that spices and pasteurized Dairy and other things that I used to think were okay actually we're not okay and would cause diarrhea and things which they never did before I was carnivore. Realizing that I've been cleaning my body out and making it more pure inside I was becoming less tolerant to bull crap in my diet therefore I've gone from least strict to the most strict and it's improving constantly I eat beef and I drink warm non-child water only and I salt occasionally once a month or so I might have some eggs but that's the total extent of my diet no Dairy no cheese no spices of any kind. And the results keep getting better the more I get pure carnivore
So happy I found your channel.
Im so happy youre here! Welcome :)
Great video! I'm 13 months carnivore and I've lost 35lbs. I've cheated a bunch but when I do it's only a bite or two and then I throw the carb laden bad choice away. It's getting a lot easier. I have been eating a lot of cheese and decided today actually to give up the cheese to see what happens. Thanks for sharing all this great information.
That's great! Progress not perfection :)
@soulTraveller144No. It’s that kind of thing that got me sick and overweight in the first place! You’re on the wrong channel to promote that!
I haven’t been able to do carnivore for the 90 day trial period….longest I’ve gone was 6 weeks and my metabolism plummets! Some people need about 100-130g of carbs for proper thyroid function. I’m definitely in that group. I added fruit back to my diet and doing much better but definitely envious of those that thrive on strict carnivore for the ketones.
Hello! Yea, its highly individualized.
Hmmm, maybe that’s my problem. I have Hashimoto’s and I haven’t felt well on meat or carnivore alone. I added back a little fruit and I my bowels feel better, no nausea and I’ve finally started losing weight!
Same issue with metabolism on straight carni. I thrive on a few carbs as well. Whole food types, just a little. Night and day strength difference in gym, less fatigue walking or running.
I was so weak on carnivore. I felt very calm, but I noticed that my base line serotonin levels seemed rly low. I kind of felt flat and emotionally blunt all the time. Gained muscle. Joints felt great. Low mood and energy though
@@codeN_8 you may have needed to adjust a few things. How long were you on it?
I do the all meats, eggs and butter. Mostly dictated by living on social security. About one third is beef, one third pork and one third chicken hind quarters. My beef is mostly from a privately owned butcher shop with 85% lean at $2.99 and chuck primals at $4.99. Chicken hind quarters for 70 cents a lb in 10 lb bags and pork shoulder at$1.59. The last eggs I bought were $1.56 per dozen. I obviously cut up the pork shoulder and beef chuck and "steak" it all. Put about a pound in quart ziplock bags and freeze. I buy about once a month. About $5 per day for food
Wow! Where do you live that things are so cheap?
@@suew4609 I live in Northeast Neb near a city of about 75,000 people and buy most of my meat at a privately owned meat market that is in that city No one else i close to that hamburger price.
The beef chuck price is fairly standard if you have a costco near by , There are two other meat markets in that city but they are not in the price game at all. There are NO bargains in meat at Walmart. The chicken hind quarters usually come from a regional grocery chain. The prices I am giving are pretty consistent, not some out of this world special sale. Eggs are Walmart, bacon is usually from that regional chain WHEN it is on sale. Bought 20 lbs about 3 weeks ago for $3.98. Living on social security so I never even look for the grass fed, pastured, organic stuff
@@johnsonpaul1914you would hate to be in Canada, where I am . Cheapest eggs here are 5.99 dozen , meat is horrendously expensive too .
I know a lot of people on SS/fixed income (as well as plenty others who AREN'T) who insist they can't afford meats, eggs, and butter...even though they almost certainly could if they simply changed their grocery (and other) spending habits. You are proof it can be done. 😊
@@katie7748
Thanks. I do draw the line at spending the extra for the grass fed free range etc. I just can't justify the difference in price. I Had a meat buying day yesterday. Chuck roll (21 lbs,) 85% hamburger (13 lbs) and 2 pork butts (17lbs) and a 1 lb package of liver. Total cost was $181 and change. About 8 lbs of the chuck and 4 lbs of the pork my wife will use for whatever she chooses. We eat very differently, I have enough chicken to last the next month and the only other thing I will buy in the coming month is eggs. About a pound and a half per day does me just fine and before anyone says that is not enough-- I am 77, have shrunk down to 5'6'' and weigh about 155. I feel fine at that level of eating. Purpose walk 2-4 miles per day and have a 4 hour per day 5 days a week part time job in a kitchen on my feet
What an amazing breakdown! I was confused as to where to start, and you made it clear. I fall into meats, seafood, eggs and butter to start. I’ve subbed and can’t wait to learn more!
Hello and welcome! I am glad it was helpful :)
Another great video, Jenny! I love how straight forward and informational all of your videos are! Your videos are my go-to to share with people who may be interested in this WOE.
Thank you so much :)
Loved the video. You even went in to detail about how dairy can have side effects but butter is potentially fine. And also recommended the Metabolic Mind YT channel for people suffering mental health issues. Shows that one cares!
I LOVE Metabolic Mind! It is an excellent source for science and evidence based therapeutic ketogenic solutions for mental health conditions. So good!
I think I will be having a mix of these versions.
Thank you so much for the video! It provided me with a lot of new information, and I truly appreciate the effort you put into sharing it.
You're very welcome!
I eat steak with white onions and a stick of butter. I also eat cheese with organic raw unfiltered honey sometimes.
Sounds delish 😋
Hi Jenny,
I just found your channel a couple days ago, and I've been enjoying watching your videos and learning more about carnivore.
I was a long time vegan (over 20 years), and vegetarian (10 years) before that. I got so wrapped up in my ethical reasons for my diet, that I ignored the horrible effects it was having on my health for decades. I convinced myself my diet was perfect, and there was no way my health was suffering because of it. I was wrong!
Here I am now at age 60 and in menopause (which in itself brings many health consequences). 3 years ago I finally was honest with myself, and realized that I was holding on to a way of eating that was hurting me, and something needed to change. After months of deliberation and soul-searching, I decided to re-introduce animal products back into my diet. I started out very slowly with just some yogurt, eggs, and fish. I gradually added in beef, lamb, and bison. I don't really like chicken that much, but I do like turkey, so I also eat that now.
I've been on quite a journey with my diet these last few years, and lately I have been experimenting with going higher protein, and less carbs. It's been hard getting used to it, but I'm getting there. I am having less digestive issues (bloating, gas, abdominal pain) than I used to, which has been such a relief! Unfortunately, digestive issues aren't my only problem. I also have chronic muscle and joint pain, falling/thinning hair, painful neuropathy in feet and legs, fatigue, dizziness, and brain fog/memory problems.
I am seriously considering trying the carnivore diet to see if I can get my health back. I am not overweight, and I don't have diabetes or any other metabolic disease. I am actually at the low end of BMI, at 5'9 and 124 lbs, so I wouldn't be doing carnivore to lose weight. I just want to feel better, that is my only goal!
I have been through the wringer with doctors and other health practitioners over the last 4 years. I've had all the tests and lab work. No one can find a cause for my symptoms! I'm at the end of my rope, and willing to try anything to feel better!
Thank you for all of your information. I'm going to keep researching and learning. I'm getting close to trying carnivore. I'm desperate to feel better!
Hello and thank you so much for sharing your story! I think Carnivore is worth a shot, for you I would say a higher fat version of it may be helpful. Try it for 30 days and see what happens!
This was the most understanding video I have seen and understood! There was no disrespect to the docs, but she explained a lot of the questions I had, such as why butter isn't considered dairy! Lol ...
Lame but I didn't know that. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Really really powerful and useful guide, thank you
You're very welcome!
"THE ONE THAT WORKS FOR YOU"
My thoughts exactly you beat me to it
Amen! It’s not a one fits all diet!
@@suew4609 Yes and digestion needs to be looked into where biome is concerned. I'm learning that actual healing needs some level of variety that Lion/meat alone isn't going to handle well bc digestion of large amounts of meat & absorbtion of those nutrients is an issue too.
It amazes me how many people out there think that since it worked for them it works for everyone. If you look at the asian vs the african elephant, they have very different diets one eats mostly grasses the other eats mostly leaves. People are like that, were all genetically adapted to thrive on certain diets and they're going to be different
@@suew4609 Yes!! Regardless of what *ANYONE* says, yes, there is no one size fits all way to eat! Do what works for *you* and *your body.*
I love ketovore but i do pork heavy because i do not do good with alot of beef, I'm also intolerant to milk protein and egg whites.
I subscribed. You have a very good channel, very informative.
Thank you so much!
That book change your diet change your mind is a wonderful read.
Agreed! Its so good!
Just subbed!! You had me at trying to lose weight to have a baby, i'm 38 and in the same situation. I've always been on the verge of pre-diabetes and type 2 is HIGHLY prevalent in my family. All four of my pregnancies have been strictly monitored on my blood sugar levels. With my midwife and last pregnancy she said she didn't like my blood work results, so i switched to low carb high protein and had to do another blood work test, this time she said my levels were MUCH better! My little one is now 18 months old and I'm still trying to lose the extra weight. I go carnivore for a time and then fall off. I think if I just watch Carnivore videos once every morning to get my focus on, remember why I'm doing this and see other people's results it can keep me on track! I hope you and I both achieve our goals!
You've got this! Just take it day by day. New habits take a long time to build, but the key is consistency
Carnivore is amazing I started carnivore April 1, 2024. I ate all meats and some dairy and I am down 95lbs. I highly recommend it to everyone to at least try!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your story :)
Didn't you worried about cholesterol and fat clogged you up
@@CirakTekeletsione hello! Eating only meat does not clog your arteries. Please go and check out some of my bloodwork videos where I go into detail about that topic.
@@CirakTekeletsioneNot at all actually. My numbers significantly improved!
I am on a meat wheat diet - fried mince beef, fried chopped pork luncheon eaten together with cheddar cheese and Weet-Bix (Australian dry wheat breakfast cereal). No fruit and vegetables. But I do have coffee with no milk sweetened with apricot and raspberry jam. I drink cold refrigerated water after a meal.
A question I have not seen addressed and I'd like your opinion on is centered around supplements separated into (1) DAILY and then into (2) DURING ILLNESS and (3) FOR PREVENTION [like during COVID, Flu, and cold outbreaks]
I like to take Vitamin C and D3+K2+Zinc supplements I get from other TH-camr's online stores. What are your thoughts as far as taking these (1) DAILY, (2) DURING ILLNESS, (3) FOR PREVENTION?
I'm also looking to add daily Vitamin A, [SPECIFICALLY Lugol's Solution] Iodine, and powdered Collagen[From 100% Grassfed Beef Bones]. What are your thoughts here?
There are some supplements I wanted to take for general health benefits, Apple Cider Vinegar, Cod Liver Oil or Cod Roe, Beef Organ supplement.
Last weird question is around coffee, and then also on the new mushroom coffees that have been going around social media. Is it necessary to cut out traditional coffee, instant, K-Cups? Should I be wary of mushroom coffee?[I use it as an alternative, not an additive. I also put 1-2Tb of A2 Kirkland Costco milk in sometimes]
I eat virtually no seafood, and before coming off the SAD diet my version consisted of meat, starch, chips, chocolate, and ice cream. I'm looking to lose weight, increase energy, and improve metabolic health.
For me, I only take what I can't get in my food or not enough of. For example, I take lugals and a b2 and b3 complex for my thyroid health. I also take magnesium and potassium for my electrolyte health, I tend to be low magnesium for some reason. And lastly I take DHA because I don't eat a lot of seafood.
I think supplements are fine, as long as they are high quality. I also think its important to take some supplements in conjunction with others, like D3 with K2 and if doing high levels of D3 supplementation making sure to include magnesium as well. I try to get most of my nutrients from my food and the sun (in the case of D). I've been experimenting with an organ supplement because I hate the taste of liver, and I take magnesium every night before bed.
As far as coffee, I think its fine. You can try eliminating it for a few weeks to see if it makes a difference. I recently switched over to Nespresso, they use aluminum pods instead of plastic. As far as mushroom coffee, just read the ingredients label and make sure its free of junk.
@@JennyMitichHow on earth would you determine a good supplement from a bad one, as they aren’t regulated? I think the only way you can tell is if it actually does what it claims 🤷🏻♀️
I’m actually meat, spices, eggs, cheese and some green leafy and cruciferous vegetables. I call it ketovoire. Mainly weight and mild inflammatory issues…
Nice!
I have cycled on and off of the butter/ghee, meat, fat, and eggs diet in order to lose weight, a little at a time, several times. Works for me. I am hearing a lot lately about adding fruit, but pretty sure in my case, that would lead to a sugar jones.
Hello! Yes, if you have problems with sugar addiction, fruit may trigger it again.
Great Content!!!
Thank you!
I started carnivore one year ago after being plant based for 5. Since my issues have comeback or increased. I’m not giving up. I am undergoing autoimmune testing now. One thing I’ve noticed is how much higher salt intake is for carnivores as well as processed meat. I think some of the blanket statements about processed meats and higher salt intake being fine some TH-camrs make should stop. I am finding water reintroducing them back into my diet my symptoms increased. Now I’ve removed all processed meats and salt my joint pain is improving.
I had to cut all salt to continue healing. Nearly 2yrs mostly lion diet carnivore and finally making progress again for the first time in over a year.
@@Audifan8595 Thank you for sharing that info!
Hello and welcome! It seems that you are more sensitive to salt and spices than the average person, and that is ok! You have figured that out and eliminated those foods. Great work :)
@@JennyMitichThank you!
So you were doing carnivore using processed meat? I'm confused.
Ok... some thoughts: to me, the carnivore diet, strictly, is a limited version of the so-called Keto diet and, what is quite often not mentioned, is that it is somewhat tricky to adapt to ketosis-- and, especially in the beginning, (it) may cause flu like symptoms and lack of energy...(and most carnivores do not mention that this diet will usually change the body's energy systems away from carb-based, that is a fermentation energy (using sugars and carbs break-down processes), and the body switching over to a ketonic energy basis, where the end product is ketones..) *and ketosis, naturally occurs when one cannot find and eat much of anything, as in starving* (so I suggest that if one is smart, they will try to get a basic understanding of what keto is and its good and bad points....)
Now, having said that, I personally, and I am NOT an EXPERT or Doctor, but, as clearly mentioned in this video, I would caution first, the use of dairy... and second, the use of eggs... and I say this because personally, I am allergic to dairy, almost all dairy, even cheese... and second, I basically do not like eggs at all, in any form... (just me, I guess... )
Admission, a few years ago, I did keto for almost two years, got my weight down about 50 pounds to my high school size body, BUT, then, issues crept in, and I gave it up... (I was 70 years old at that time and in really good shape, working out, kayaking, etc. all while on keto... ) but then I began to get first, kidney stones, very painful... and this may have been caused by my use of supplements like zinc, magnesium, etc. ... but next came a bout with Shingles, which was so painful, I checked into emergency-- the hospital-- where they lanced two large boils on my back under my shoulder blade, and they kept me overnight... (I had NEVER been in the hospital... never taken much medicine for anything.. never liked alcohol or used drugs...) Well, the next day I was informed that I now had MRSA infection, many of my vital organs were shutting down-- and that I should maybe call my next of kin... (and this place had no real idea of what a keto diet was at that time, had nothing I could safely eat... and they kept the room so cold I was freezing to death...) So, the next day, after having the machines going off all night every 15 minutes, I demanded to be released, and boy what a fight I had with the staff over that... ( I was told that I would surely die, still had to fight the Doctor to get him to let me go... telling him that if he wanted to say good bye, that I would likely be back in the morgue in a day or two... thank-you... that if I was going to die, I wanted to do that at home... etc.)
Well, that was SEVEN years ago, and I nursed myself back to good health, but there were many times I told HIM that if he wanted me to go... it was ok, I was ready... NOW,
I am going to try this carnivore thing... but I am going to do it the Frank Sinatra way, which is my way... and I may be wrong in all this... but...part of this was all about finding the perfect burger to eat... (without the fries and bun, of course...) But for me, I just want to lose about 30 pounds or so and give my old/young body a boost... and I want to kayak five miles or so without much effort and of course, go dancing every once in a while... But, here is my sin...
I will NOT totally go without some sugar... *at age 77* but this is because I am NOT diabetic at all.... and I am talking very, very little,(sugar) and it may keep me out of ketosis... but, so what .? AND, I am fine with that... I feel, for me, that a teaspoon or so of cake frosting is how I am going to cheat on this thing... (because life is no fun unless you cheat on a few minor things... just don't tell lies and cause pain to others)
So lets see how this goes.... and I wish you all the best of all... I think I got a few more good years left... with or without sugar and you..... thanks.... rp (just be mentally tough, resilient, and do it your way.... because there really is NO true right way)
I would not do an animal-based diet with fatty meat/high fat dairy. It's important not to have one's Randle-cycle be up-regulated all the time, so that would have to be a very low-fat diet with the energy coming from carbs, and the protein coming from high quality animal protein - but then again this diet is only for metabolically healthy individuals.
Excellent video ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you for all you do 👍🏿
I appreciate that :)
I have Graves disease and did Keto at the end of 2019 and lost 60 lbs. and felt Great! I tried to stay on that lifestyle but stressed about our world change in 2020, plus my family was not all on board and we just went back to eating everything. I have been doing a lot of research the last 2 months abouts the Carnivore diet. The last 9 months I have gotten away from all the bioenginered foods and toxic crap. We as a family are starting keto again, but now I really want to go all carnivore to see if it will fix the Graves. I feel I could still do that even if my family stays on keto.
Meat. I choose the carnivore meat version of carnivore diet. Have to tone down the dairy, but the rest is all meat. Coffee is my nemesis.
This is not easy to start. I have restarted numerous times at 64 years old I gave up smoking I gave up drinking alcohol but giving up sugar is the hardest thing I have ever had to do to eliminate something from my diet, but I’m going to get there.
You will get there! Sugar is one of the hardest things to quit.
Great video on carnivore thank you! Very practical advice!
Thank you!
I am lactase persistent, as well as 35% of the human population. We are always disregarded. I drink cream top grassfed whole milk, with 0 consequence. Having cream in milk is just budget friendly. If you're craving something sweet, try bison it has a nice sweet flavor, lobster sweet flavor, scallops.
Nice!

Eggs
Sardines or crayfish

@@trequorI eat a can of sardines a day for 5 years now. No problems.
@@shelfcloud487have you gotten your blood checked?
@@trequor Honestly? Nope. I haven’t been to the doctor or had a physical or bloodwork in years, like 10+. I know I should blah, blah, blah…but I’ve had no reason to. I’m 58, fit and trim, on zero meds and I workout everyday. 😁 I practice 18:6 IF along with a weekly 40 hour fast on Saturday and I actually don’t eat a can on Sunday either, just M-F, so just 5 days a week if you want to be technical. 🤣
@@shelfcloud487 You seriously should, SOLELY because of the sardines! Arsenic doesnt care if you're fit and trim. Neither do other heavy metals like mercury.
Fish have poisonous metals in them. This normally isnt a problem, unless you ingesting it daily. You probably have a serious buildup in your blood
Great points! I discovered that i wasn't getting enough fats and that's why i was so tired all the time. Had cheese on a burger patty and felt more human.
Agreed!
Thank you for this. It explains a lot
Glad it was helpful!
My god you are beautiful! I’m 6’7 and lost over 100 pounds in a year on carnivore. Great video
Thank you so much!
Great content. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
I want to do carnivore because I want to come off Blood Pressure meds, I’m prediabetic and do NOT want to go on insulin, and I’d like to lose weight.
Hello and welcome!
I suggest slowly adding more protein and fat, while decreasing carbs. I dove right in and paid for it big time! Some people have oxalate dumping which is really painful. So, it’s best to do it slow.
Yep go slow and ask doctor which pills to stop first . Be careful those pills drop faster than you think . Perhaps get a blood pressure cuff
Your skin looks amazing! Do you think the diet made any difference?
Hello and thank you so much! I think so, but I also do A LOT of skincare treatments and products. But overall tone and hydration have improved for sure
