What Can I Drink on a Carnivore Diet? Electrolytes to Alcohol and Everything In Between!

- One of the questions that I get asked the most is "what do you drink?" There are things that can be obviously Yes and No with Carnivore, in this video, I show some examples and then also talk about the ones somewhere in the middle. Water, electrolytes, diet drinks, tea, coffee, alcohol, green drinks, milk, heavy cream, energy drinks, and many more are mentioned in this video.

My mom had a seizure when she drank a lot of Crystal Light because of the Aspartame. Bad stuff that should be avoided!
Thanks for this great round-up! I grew up in the 50s. The only thing we had in our refrigerator was milk. If we went out for breakfast we could have a glass of milk or orange juice, but it was fresh squeezed and it was a very small glass, like 6 or 8 oz. If we were thirsty we drank water. There were never soft drinks in the house. My parents drank coffee but kids weren't allowed to have it. I never liked it anyway. There are too many choices now and that is part of the problem. Too much marketing telling us we deserve a break today.
The sugar industry is very greedy and doesn’t give a d**** about our health.
I forgot about the tiny juice glass from childhood! Everything is jumbo now…
@@Lovepeacejoy.. and I remember those tiny glasses having only fresh squeezed orange juice in them. Everyone had one of those orange juice squishers in the kitchen. I’m from NewYork and those oranges had to be expensive and difficult to get ( unless a relative brought them back on the train from their Miami getaway). The American food industry is due for an unpleasant reconing. Soon.
@@pennylacombe4763 Yes, I remember my mother freshly squeezing the orange juice. We only had soda on holidays or dinner with relatives on Sunday. Food was so much better then and there was not that much obesity. Everyone walked everywhere, kids were able to play outside without worrying about being kidnapped and everyone got lots of exercise…..
6 to 8oz of juice is a LOT of sugar. Those are not small glasses.
If tea or coffee is too bitter add a pinch of salt..it's mind blowing how well this works.. I did this to ween off of sweetener and heavy cream in my coffee.
I totally agree with you! I started it and weaned myself off creamer! ❤
Salt in every cup of coffee I drink. People think I'm weird
Same here!! My grandmother has done this since the 50s or 60s. She makes the best cafe con leche 😋.
Heavy cream is good for those on keto or carnivore. It will not add weight because your body is now burning fat - which heavy cream is.
@@tedrowleeves9182most people can handle heavy cream but some may be more sensitive to the dairy.
I'm 65 years old and have spent the last 45 years trying various diets and workout programs to shed weight and improve my fitness. Three months ago, I stumbled upon Dr. DeBerry's TH-cam video discussing the Carnivore diet and decided to follow his advice. For the past two months, I've been fully committed to the Carnivore lifestyle, although I do enjoy drinking 12oz to 14oz of red wine on most days of the week.
I've completely eliminated fruits, vegetables, fast food, junk food, and processed items from my diet, opting for a Carnivore approach focused on reclaiming my health, not just shedding pounds. I rarely weigh myself, but when I do monthly check-ins, I'm pleased to report a significant loss. Currently, I stand at 5ft 10 inches and weigh 198 lbs, down from 216 lbs two months ago-equivalent to an impressive 18 lbs lost, averaging 9 lbs per month.
For me, transitioning away from traditional foods prior to Carnivore felt akin to attempting to quit smoking while relying solely on a nicotine patch. The Carnivore diet has truly transformed my health and well-being."
I was wondering if I could continue having my bedtime 🍷. It helps me sleep better than any thing else I have tried. Bad thing is I only like sweet wine.what do you drink? Does it stop the effects of carnivore.
At Buffalo Wild Wings and just ordered the Parmesan garlic wings and 2 hamburger Pattie’s for $2 each, thanks so much for that tip!
😮 Awesome, thank you for sharing this. I missed it in the video❤
Water and salt. I don’t worry about if it’s effecting my blood sugar or gut. I can spend more money on high cuts of meat.
That's where I fall most of the time too! Definitely prefer to spend my money on meat!
Yep. Ditto 👍
Yup! If you eliminate all those drinks and just keep water and electrolytes you can afford WAY more meat. The coconut water is almost the same price as a dozen eggs 😅.
I lost 6 stone on keto diet a few years ago. I relied heavily on Diet Coke to help me. Had no impact on weight loss. However better without it. Now on carnivore diet. Feel like I’ve been reborn. Thanks for your videos. Regards
How big were the stones?
@@grigorirasputin425 Weights in England are commonly measured in stones, where 1 stone = 14 lb.
@@michaeljames63 he lost a lot of weight then😂
@@grigorirasputin425I thought they meant kidney stones or something too! 😂
You missed one. There was a Coach of a high school football team that gave his team a cup of pickle juice before a game and they played with much more energy and won almost all the games.
Another thing is when you get cramps on your leg or calf and drink pickle juice in a matter of minutes it goes away. It's helped me a lot.
So glad i read this comment. I been getting those cramps. Thank you
I'm gonna test this on my husband, who gets horrible cramps after really tough hikes.
its called sodium lol
It also has calcium, potassium, and magnesium and those are all important for stopping cramps. Sodium alone never helped me.@@anatta467
It’s the sodium
Brew 2-3 Tblspoons Thyme in 16oz boiling water. Add 16oz cold to cool it off. Also try Rosemary and Savory. Pretty good. Today I blended 2 tbls of all three. Then brewed for 10 minutes.
oo man for the ones that loves bubbly drinks:
club soda
lemon or lime juice
salt
homemade sprite tastes amazing and you get a punch of vitamin C when you use fresh lemon
One of the biggest reasons I have been putting off trying carnivore is alcohol. I don't drink very often (few times a month--or maybe every other month) but I like doing it enough thta I don't yet want to commit to getting rid of it completely. So glad it's still an option!
If you made a book with your own recipes, what to drink and how to carnivore without feeling so sick and loss of energy! I would definitely buy one!
Carnivore isn't the reason you've lost energy, it's probably the square flu or you aren't getting enough fat and salt in your diet.
I am one of the fortunate few who just likes plain water. I keep an insulated mug on my desk with ice water and that keeps me going. Great video!
Thanks this was helpful! My sister and I have been carnivore since March 2022…she’s lost over 70 pounds and I’m down about 20! We drink water with added electrolytes, coffee with a little heavy cream and a couple stevia drops, and Pellegrino. I occasionally have a Lacroix to mix things up.
Perfect
I personally would cut out the Stevia but.
I also drink a few sips of kombucha each day, since it's my favorite but it has a lot of carbs. So instead of having a whole one, I limit the amount.
That’s a good idea ,just a little!
You put so much work into this video! Great job at what you do
Twice! Lol
Twice
Over the last year I’ve gone from daily 4-6 cans of Diet Coke, to only having it a couple times a month in social situations. I do drink the Sparkling Ice a couple times a day though (with caffeine), along with black and green mint tea. My end goal is to only drink water and the tea. It’s a process for sure 😊
Sparkling water is like using apple cider vinegar. It eats your enamel.
you know you're on your way, keep with it, every positive change is a good thing, it can be a process and that is better than getting overwhelmed and quitting
Thats great, artificial sweeteners upset your gut micro biome, making it hard to lose weight.
My personal tip: Don't "eyeball" how much heavy cream you are adding to your coffee. When I first started I did just that. After about a year I finally measured how much my eyeball amount was and it was about 4 Tbsp!!! I've since cut that down to 2 Tbsp and I have learned to love that amount now. I'm thinking I may work to get that down to 1 Tbsp. Even if it's only for having to buy less heavy cream each time I shop.
Yes!!! I don't do cream but I and the same way with sour cream. Eyeballing "2 tablespoons" is like 1/3rd cup 😂
@@LauraSpath LOL I am very familiar with that measuring conversion.
I do the same. Measure with a teaspoon.
I'm the same way. Now I add my 2 tbsp first, then I add my coffee to that. So that determines how much coffee I can drink based on the color tbsp makes lol
@LauraSpath I ordered the LMNT raspberry from the link you provided. Received the raspberry, but I got no free sample packets. 😢
I seriously appreciate your videos! You get right to the point without me having to follow you on a trip to the grocery store or some errand that I don’t want to do even in real life. Thank you!
Thanks, you explained electrolytes better than anyone has. On low carb-carnivore diet for 4 weeks. Mostly energy has been excellent, but feeling tired the last few days. I will do electrolytes today. Thank you.
Better now?
Thank you so much for this video. It’s helped me so much to make more sense of what to drink. I was a Coke Zero addict. I’m 19 days in on carnivore.
You do a wonderful job explaining this stuff. Thank you for your research and hard work!
You answered a BUNCH of questions I had! Thank you!!!
Wow! This is so helpful! Thank you, Laura!
I see I'm a year late to this video, but so glad I found it today. I've been researching carnivore for a few months. I'm so tired of feeling bloated, gassy, sore, and tired. I'm almost 40 and it's time for a change in lifestyle. I 100% committed to starting carnivore 2 days ago when I ordered almost $1,000 (63lbs) of grass fed organic beef, free range organic eggs and chicken, wild and sustainably caught cod, salmon and tuna from Alaska and Kettle and Fire brand Bone Broths. I have made several lists on good and bad foods, carnivore vs keto foods, macros and micros, carbs and calories, protein and sodium, vitamins, ect. I have never found a video on beverages!!! With that said, I fortunately love plain water and already drink it as 95% of my daily liquid intake. However I do have a CIRKUL water bottle and flavor cartridges for the once every few days I want some flavor. I may utilize these more when I start my new lifestyle of carnivore as the cartridges contain 0 cal, 0 fat, 0 carbs, 0 sugars, 0 protein, 55mg sodium, 40 mg potassium, 1.3 mg niacin, .14mg B⁶, .19mcg B¹², 30mg phosphorus, and 50mg chloride. In addition to adding salt and spices to my food and the bone broth, I'm hoping it will be enough to keep my electrolytes in check. This is something I need to research more that I hadn't really thought about until I saw this video, so thank you! I'm currently doing a 5 day diary pre carnivore, documenting what I eat and how I feel physically and mentally throughout the day. Will also do 2 days of water fasting with documentation before beginning carnivore. Anxious to see the subtle and not to subtle changes that take place over the next few months!
that's nice, next
Just started carnivore. Been wondering if I can use my Cirkul or not.
Thank you Laura! You have answered a bunch of questions for me with this video. My wife and I started Carnivore 3 weeks ago and I'm amazed on much better I feel already.
Yeah I been on it for just over 5 weeks. I am wildly impressed with this diet!
how are you both doing now? still on the diet and noticed any more changes?
Thank you, thank you! That’s for doing this great video twice 🥰. You are so knowledgeable and I love your videos. Keep making them please!
Thanks for all of the detailed information, Laura!
I really liked this. I’ve just started listening to your work and I’m so inspired by your honesty and knowledge. You are down to earth and easy to listen to.
Great info, so glad I found your channel, thank you!
FABULOUS INFORMATION! I've made notes on the electrolyte products that I had no idea existed. GREAT roundup and you answered any question that I could have had. Thanks!!
What a great video. really nice to hear thoughts that echo most people and then explain why or why not. Fantastic work, thanks so much for both times :)
I was the diet for 3 weeks , then it seamed like I was eating wrong . So trying again , thank you ! It helps to see what we can have and not have.
I just had to cut out the black coffee. It was keeping my blood sugar high. It was driving me nuts for a while since I’ve been carnivore for about a year. That was the only non-meat item I had. I rarely use heavy cream, and have some cheese once a month or two, so that was the only culprit. Been off for 3 days and I’m seeing fasting sugars come down. Sharing for any other diabetics to keep in mind that they “might” react to black coffee too.
Have you tried Black Tea for an alternate, it has high caffeine.........one of the highest actually and it's easy to have hot or cold. I think most Lipton teas are black tea
Good to know! I've been trying out a few flavors of Bubly Bounce, which is the caffeinated version of their sparkling waters, and it's helped me greatly.
@@mrcharliewebb I do have some black tea. I’m limiting that as well, but tracking with a CGM my levels are lower. I also found when going for labs I would have to cut out coffee a few days before, or my triglycerides would come back high (160 vs 72).
Me too! You are the first person that I have heard say that about coffee too! I keep going back to it and then my foot starts sweating again….. it seemed silly to think that it was coffee ☕️. I tried different coffees, including instants, but only doing without it gave me any relief. So I remembered that last year I was getting higher blood sugars only after I ate ground beef from Safeway near me…. I suspected that they might be adding something, so I started buying it from another store in town And voila!, problem solved. Maybe something similar is happening with coffees? (I suspected soy being added to the meat because of the breakdown in supply). Thank you for mentioning the coffee. I don’t feel as crazy now.
Foot SWELLING lol
I love Pellegrino with fresh lime squeezed in it. Italy has very strict laws about their natural mineral waters so it’s purity is guaranteed. It has a high sulfur content which is very good amongst other minerals. It’s my nighttime cocktail with dinner.
Thank you sooo much!! This was very informative. Right to the point and not a bunch of talking about other stuff! You are GOLDEN!!!😍😍😍
I have been using true lemon and true lime for YEARS! Love them! In ice cold water they're an absolute game changer in summer. Delicious.
Me too....absolutely the best!
Thanks so much for this Laura. The single largest input cost on branded drinks isn't ingredients, packaging or freight, it's the marketing cost to get people to pay up for the stuff. The worst are fake healthy things that scam people and loaded with sugars/sweeteners.
Thank you for all your videos. I have been researching this diet for weeks and i have started. I already love meat and seafood, anchovues, sardines, liver so I knew hardest was going to be snacking, pasta, bread. I drink Hint water since I have quit soda and my chai lattes without coffee. So many of my co workers and family and friends have thanked me for the Hint water suggestion. I have never been a coffee drinker, never jumped on the Starbuck train thank goodness and I dont drink alcohol hardly ever maybe once a year but loved my Dr. Peppers and all the sugar in the chai lattes with whip cream. This past weekend was first without the chai s all weekend Long. I quit Dr. Pepper first a couple weeks prior. Amazing I noticed immediately no bloating without the soda.
I like how detailed and very on point topic u r. Thank u so much for ur videos..great help esp for people who would wanna start this diet.
Thanks for this! It good to know about all this. I started doing carnivore diet it been great was not sure what to have. Thank you so much!
Thank You for that roundup! I have been very much on target to my surprise after watching this! 👍
Lost 33lbs so far have another 60lbs to go!
This is only the third video of yours that I have watched. But I subscribed. You seem very down to earth, a real person that I can relate to.
Thank you for sharing this information. It is very beneficial and I appreciate you helping trying to maneuver through all the confusing information. Fran
I just want to thank you for ALL your videos. I have learned so much! From cooking meat, the cuts, how to eat out, what to drink, etc. i have done keto and Somersize and low carb prior. I never drank enough electrolytes and would get dizzy and muscle cramps - plus autoimmune issue that I am working on. This time I need to heal. This is it. I cannot function on processed foods at all. Your informative videos really instills confidence in my journey and cooking abilities. Thank God for you Laura!! Thank you.
I put a tea spoon of Celtic sea salt in my water bottle its not as "salty" as you would think its actually a sweeter taste i was told it replaces pretty much all the minerals missed from missed vegetables also helps if you get constipated
Great content Laura I love your content here's a little tip for you and your viewers put lemon juice in your water and add some baking soda to your salt mixture then you'll get the bubbles that you'll have carbonated lemonade... sweetener is optional
Nice video. Thank you, for takin the time to create it.
FYI I worked at a well known milk producer and I can tell you first hand that ALL forms milk you buy in the stores are FULL of added sugar for flavor.
Appreciate this! Just got started learning about this way of eating after being consumed with vegan content and not understanding why it was so difficult to stick to. So happy to have stumbled upon this community in last week or so. Taking it one step at a time was drinking a lot of Crystal Light previously but do enjoy steeping Hibiscus flowers to make iced tea, had it today with no sweetener for first time and it was delicious all on its own.
Oh Bless you Laura!!! I’m 19 days carnivore. Love it! Thank you for doing this video.
Same! Totally new to this and lots of questions
Iced tea. Just plain and simple iced tea. No fancy-dancy teas. Just simple iced tea like restaurants serve. This is my go-to drink of choice.
I’ve done that! “Recorded” and discovered all the cool things I said never got recorded! Thanks for this episode.

Thank you for your video. My husband and I like to drink "Spindrift". It's the only carbonated sparkling water brand with a little bit of real juice & no natural or artificial flavors.
You answered a lot of my questions, thanks 😊
I found that having a Sprite Zero helps me if I'm craving something sweet. It has potassium citrate and natural lemon lime flavors. The negative is that it has aspartame in it, but don't drink them very often.
I been on canivore for ten days and my favorite was half gallon of ice cream candy chips cupcakes I eat the whole box with canivore I went cold turkey so what helps me is when I brush my teeth i found enjoyment on it and using mouth wash sometimes I do it more then once but it satisfy my sweet tooth 😂😂😂😂😂
I enjoy your videos and I especially like how you show how we should be on carnivore but how it’s ok to not be so serious all the time! Thank you
Interesting point about coffee - I actually had to go away from heavy cream so using MCT oil helped me not feel that coffee was so acidic. My new jam is 'It Works' skinny coffee with MCT oil and a little munk fruit sweatner.
Thanks for making this video! This is soooo helpful!!! 👍🏻💕
So nice to hear how you found bridge foods helpful. No, they're not perfect and definitely don't want to be used forever but if that's what it takes to stay on track I am all for it.
Great video, thank you. The info is definitely appreciated and I feel semi-validated now in allowing some of my bridging drinks... knowing I can have them for now as I continue to transition into this way of eating.
You know I either buy just the little soda cans knowing I can have the whole thing...................... Or we have a place here called FIIZ where I can order specialty sugar free fountain drinks. My favorite is Diet Cocalada............... But I may have one 1x per month, it depends
Thank you Laura. That explains why I get stalled for a few days after drinking, although I was only drinking three shots of vodka only once per week. I'll have to stop until I get to my goal weight.
Thank u so much for making this video!!!! It was my biggest questions. Your the best! I just subscribed, starting this diet in a couple days :D so excited
Great video, Laura! Thanks!
This is great, thank you!! I love fresh Meyer lemons in my water!!
Thanks for making this great video - very helpful! "Half frozen diet Coke" as an ice cream substitute - GENIUS!!
Great catch!
Also, a very good video. Thank you. I am new till the carnivore diet and this was super helpful.
Great video! Thanks for all the content you put out.
Excellent presentation. This underscores the things I am doing right and is a motivator to keep on the straight and narrow. During winter when I need to warm up I'll have a cup of hot water with a little apple cider vinegar in it. No sweetner needed; I've acquired the taste for it and I believe it helps with digestion and decreased appetite. Thanks for this informative video! :-)
I like that too...my husband thinks I'm a weirdo 😂
I really enjoyed this session on what you said about alcohol. The new low-carb or no-carb drinks are really pushing their products. I liked your explanation about how alcohol is metabolized and its effect on your liver. It resonated with me that I should not let alcohol interfere with my weight loss goals. Thank you for your vids.
Thank you ,Lovely ❤️ I needed this!
Definitely a help for me. I stumbled upon your channel. Many drinks that I consume are in the good group.
Forgot to press record!! 💘love her already!!
Laura, you’re the best! Thanks for doing this kind of thing, it’s just so helpful and encouraging. Thanks for doing it twice!
just the video I was looking for ! amazing ! I just asked on another video of yours about bullet coffee as I thought it might be the reason my weight loss as stalled and you have answered in this video .! top channel ! So no more drinking fats just eating them ! Just water for me ftom now on !
Thank you Laura 😊
Wow, you appeared to do that in one take! Lots of great information well presented. Bravo!
I was addicted to coffee, soda, lemonade and hot chocolate. I cut all of them out completely (cold Turkey) and it’s been over a year. Only water and Pure Leaf Unsweet Tea just like the video. But sometimes, I cheat and drink Pure Leafs “Subtly Sweet” version with 5g of sugar and 5g carbs. Im a work in progress.
I love mixing the Tazo Hibiscus passion tea as you have in the picture with Dr Bergs electrolytes and his wheat grass.
THANK YOU, Laura! Much appreciated.
Water is always a great drink. I love it, just plain water from a glass jug in the refrigerator.
Drinking Raw milk has some incredible studies behind it for probiotics, hormone health, and several minerals. However there is Lactose and fat so in terms of weight loss you have to make sure you don’t over do it, similar to the Heavy Cream.
Where do you get raw milk?
@@firstmedtech from a cow lol
@@firstmedtechlook it up on line. Some states have outlawed it unfortunately.
@@firstmedtechFarm around you or amish stores.We are lucky to have raw milk in our state, but it's "not for human consumption, just pets"
Great video with a lot of good info. The hubs and I love to drink Bubbly water and I like the pina colada RELYTE by Redmonds which I blame Neisha Berry for getting me hooked on. I have tried the ReLyte strawberry lemonade which is pretty good too. Since starting keto two years ago my husband has lost 168lbs and I have lost 100lbs. I feel better and feel healthier in my 50s than I did in my 30s and 40s. I agree with you that some things I drink do tend to trigger my cravings so I just stay away from them. Every now and then I will have a diet Mountain Dew. I was getting caught in the trap of adding a lot of heavy cream to my coffee so now I only add one tbsp to a cup. Take care!
Hi, im about to start keto but im wondering in ur coffee doesn't the cream just go clumpy and just float on the top? Thanks.
@@daisymaisy4877 hi Daisy Maisy, I only add about a tablespoon of heavy cream and stir really good. I drink my coffee pretty quickly and I have never had any issues with clumping. Have a good day. Thanks.
@@daisymaisy4877 you can also get 1 of the little hand held milk frothers and that will help. Just Wizz it & it actually makes it taste delicious!
So glad Laura mentioned the coffee with HWC! I’m only 2 weeks in, and have needed that taste and the boost, but am careful to only have a single or max, double shot of espresso with HWC (being more careful of the amount now) and I put a few ice cubes in my Nutribullet with an additional cup of water and blend. The result is a creamy, fluffy iced coffee which makes me feel like I’ve had a huge treat, while at the same time allowing me to stay within my own Carnivore parameters. I’ve been watching Laura, Kelly Hogan, Dr. Berry & Neisha, and others for weeks to gain knowledge and help me stay on track. Thanks SO much Laura for all your great videos! We have our own Grass Fed Beef so that’s a plus, but your videos on how to order takeout are tremendous and I’ll keep those tucked away for going out. ❤️🕊☀️🧋
@@daisymaisy4877 I use a battery operated frother and it helps to break up the clumps of cream or butter in my coffee. Hope that helps!
Thanks for clearing up and breaking down what I wanted to know.
Very informative videos, subbed and im going to start binge watching, i have alot to learn.. thanks for making these.
What helped me was Zevia soda. No dyes, not artificial sweeteners (organic stevia leaf is what they use instead of sugar and it doesnt spike your blood sugar) and just carbonated water
The black cherry one I tried was kinda meh
Zevia is a life saver for me
I went from Coke Zero to Zevia. I love it! I'm addicted now. Sam's Club has a 30ct variety box for $18.99.
Zevia does have added “natural flavors” which are definitely unnatural additives that cause cravings.
Great video!! I will say that at this time in my weight loss. Down 40lbs in 4 months. I increased my Fat and lowered my carbs to under 20gr a day. Now on the carnivore way I have no carbs but continue to eat fats so I can increase my caloric intake.
Thank you Laura! I watched a couple other what can you drink on Carnivore videos. I probably will not watch any more as your's explained everything really well, and I enjoyed that you didn't have a horribly black & white way of explaining it. I'd never heard that bit about the liver has to stop processing fat to finish up the alcohol first is Perfect incentive to switch to only weekend alcohol.
How has that gone for you?
Poor You! I liked and subscribed just for hearing about your grief of having to redo the video!
Glad I did too, great content! 👍😊
This is a great subject ! I'm low carb carnivore now and struggling to get rehydrated . I have a smart scale and it shows really low on water now . It is really hard to get that number back up !!! 🥴
I've been making my own keifer at home for calcium and probiotic benefits. I like that cultured milk loses over half it's sugar content thru the bacteria eating the sugar. When strained overnight thru a coffee filter it's very much like cream cheese.
Where did you get the grains ( the starter) I am not sure how it is called?
Amazon £10
Exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Loved this video It answered many questions! I'm on my 1st week of carnivore. I put a bit of lemon or lime juice in water with a bit of ice. It's refreshing after work on a hot day, too.
I'll try adding RealSalt and NoSalt to my lemon water! Thank you!
Be aware that regular heavy cream has additives like carrageenan, gums, and preservatives. The organic versions usually don't have those things or maybe just a gentler gum.
I appreciate this info. After reading this I ran to the refrigerator and checked the organic heavy cream I've been using.... GelIan Gum!!!! I would have never thought organic heavy cream would use gum thickeners!!! Ty!!!
I get cream from my local farmer. No additives!
I am 61. I have done Atkins and Keto since 1999. I have researched and tried just about every allegedly low carb beverage concoction under the sun and concluded that they ALL suck and ultimately sabotage your diet and your health. The human body is designed to operate off of pure water - period. Anything you add is purely because you are trying to covertly feed your sugar addiction.
Best strategy: Buy a Zero Water filter system for your kitchen. Filter all of your water. It will taste better and it will rid it of estrogenic substances that keep you fat. Then buy a glass pitcher (not plastic) and keep your drinking water chilled in the refrigerator. Water tastes WAY better this way - filtered and chilled - and if you do it for 3 weeks it will become a habit and your pallet adjusts and you actually begin craving cold water and enjoying the lack of flavorings, believe it or not.
The human body is designed to crave and want water. You are merely having to break your addiction to sweet flavorings in your beverages. The same goes for coffee. If you must have it, drink it black. No creamers and artificial sweeteners. Coffee is a sabotage vehicle for sneaking carbs back in and for continuing to crave and be addicted to sweet tasting things.
Best benefit after losing weight and improving your health: All the MONEY you will save. Coffee and additives are EXPENSIVE. Use the savings to buy more 🥩 Ribeyes! 😃😃😃
I was with you unttil you said put in refrigerator
Our bodies have a core temp of 56°
Oh no wait
Its actually oughly 98-100°
Cold water shocks your system
Drink room temp
Taste is what got us here in the first place
Who cares if it doesnt taste like grape juice!! Your body needs room temp filtered water with electrolytes
This was much better second time around 😂… thank you, very helpful!
Love the video. Thanks for the tips! Just be sure to double check if your water bottle is lined with plastic most are. To be sure it’s always best to drink from glass.
Thank you for specifically mentioning the True Lemon. I wasn't sure if I could use that or not and so happy that I can. It really helps me drink more water during the day, especially when I'm just drinking tap water.
I was a bit surprised that she mentioned true lemon or lime. There are 3 carbs in each packet so be really careful.
@@769jojo
One packet (0.8g) has
Ugh no tap water...get purified water
@@769jojo I drink our well water. Delicious.
Thank you for this message. I am doing low carb and I can tell I need the electrolytes. I visit the salt shaker when I feel depleted but now I will put the salt and no-salt in my water in advance. 😄
When I switched to Himalayan Pink salt for my food I noticed I wasn't as thirsty anymore, even walking about an hour and a quarter 5 days a week in the middle of the hottest month in Australia my body didn't need as much hydration.
You look great 😊! Just trying carnivore. Been doing keto and I have been up and down too much . I have inflammation issues , hypothyroidism, bone on bone knees and a 10 CM hiatal hernia. I really like the simple eating choices , but I am a veggie and fruit 🍎 lover . Hoping I can still loose weight by not being able to walk well right now . I do some exercises stationary , bed ,chair and some knee ones .
I am also doing intermittent fasting daily with this carnivore meal plan .
This was helpful about drinks ! I sugar free tea and coffee with heavy cream . 2 cups of coffee and two Tbs cream when I finish my fast . Trying to do a six hour eating window . I enjoy your help and videos are helpful right now . Thank you 😊
