New to this thank you for explaining this.
Could you please tell me, if there was an expert in youth team who could coach somebody (age under 30) with diabetes type 1 in how to start with this diet, please?
I'm vegan but want to convert.
Can I eat carnivore diet at mcdonalds
😊
Been following you this year and I am down 150lbs with 16 lbs left to lose. This 1000% works thank you for all your direction!
Congrats! Strict carnivore? +Workout?
@@EbmasTR yes 1 full body workout per week plus strict carnivore
I’m on a varied diet (no processed foods) and I’m now the same weight I was when I did carnivore - but this time i feel MUCH better.
Congratulations!❤❤❤❤
Are you saying you lost 150 lbs or that you are down to 150 lbs?
One snack I rarely hear people mention is hard boiled eggs. I eat tons of them with just some salt. Quick, easy and filling
Same.
I do the same. Good with room temp crispy bacon 👍
I wish I liked them 😂
I always have a small bowl of them in fridge … so easy to grab on the go.
Me too! Lol
Been keto 3.5 years and now carnivore for 1.5 years. I’m down 245 pounds (455lbs down to 210lbs), off all pharma meds, fixed fatty liver, t2d, HBP, Ed, anxiety, sleep apnea and more. Labs are great.
Congratulation! That is an awesome and inspiring feat!
I hope to get off HBP meds and like many people, get back to my "fighting-weight" 😊 (or actually maybe a little leaner)
Do you eat any fruits..vegetables...or breads...
Do you experience anything different between keto and carnivore?
Holy hell congratulations! That is absolutely awesome 🎉🎉
Spectacular. What a transformation
I’ve seen people get scolded over drinking plain black coffee and adding sautéed garlic and onions to their steaks. Good grief. The only rule everyone should follow is to ditch the ultra processed foods which have no nutritional value. Do what works for YOU. Eating carnivore is the only way of eating that got rid of my sugar addiction.
I'm definitely not giving up my coffee lol
ruledbyvenus could I ask you some questions about your carnivore journey? You seem blissfully moderate!
I am on day 2 now, wondering if I should have black coffee this morning. I had coffee with cream and sugar on day 1@@elleneurosis1
Yeah, some of the CarniNazis are a bit...much. They need to relax and realize that there is no one size fits all diet. There just isn't.
Very well said! I'm currently doing ketovore and it's excellent for me personally. 😊
I transitioned by cutting out one aisle a week at the store. By the third aisle I felt so much better and went full on carnivore.
That’s a really good idea! I find myself wandering a lot so I have snacks for visitors 😅
That's genius.
Unique approach!
I'm more a ketovore, with many days being carnivore. I also measure my progress by the number of store aisles I pass by now. I'm also at a moral quandary as to what to do with all the "food" in my house that I most likely will never eat again.🤔🤔
@straubdavid9 When I went keto in 2018, I rounded up all the foods and donated them to a local food pantry. Definitely not the best option for the recipients but better than starvation.
Love that you mentioned animal based as a viable option, carnivore transformed my health but I'm more low carb these days. I love the low carb spectrum, and don't understand the in fighting over whether or not someone drinks milk or ate some blueberries. Ditching the seed oils and other additives while eating plenty of healthy animal fats is key
YES
100% agree. I think some get too dogmatic about it.
Randal Cycle by Bart Kay answers these questions
Like any diet, you do you. What works for someone else most likely won't work for me. If you can't enjoy your diet, then it's hard to stick to it.
@@MrsPaulaTorrescan you please elaborate a little as to what Bart Kay had to say about the Randle Cycle?
I have always loved meat. I’m a landscaper and I need muscle and strength. But I also love vegetables and fruit. I went vegan, juicing, etc. for six months straight once and it was pretty incredible. I went from about 165 to about 125(5’6” tall). I had incredible energy and felt great, but I lacked muscle and strength. I am,( or was), a carboholic. I love pizza, bread, pasta, potatoes, beer, wine, etc. But I’m 53 years old now, I’ve gained weight(180lbs now), developed joint pain in my feet(toes), struggle with depression(especially when I binge on carbs), and even started to develop some plaque psoriasis on my shin. Anyway, I just went pure carnivore cold turkey a week ago. I almost instantly(overnight) started feeling better. My inflammation(and pain) in my toes has subsided drastically. I have so much energy now. My depression is gone. The small patch of red, flaky, itchy psoriasis on my shin is starting to disappear. My face, shin, hair all look better. I am extremely focused and driven all of a sudden. And I haven’t experienced any negative reactions. I am enjoying the meat and fat I am eating, excited about satiating myself with ribeye, salmon, king crab legs, smoked sardines and herring, ground beef, chicken wings, liver, etc. I’ve given up sweetener(honey and stevia) in my coffee, and I don’t even miss it. My grocery shopping stress and cooking have gotten so much simpler. I know it’s still early on this carnivore diet, and I don’t see myself abstaining from the other foods I love foerever, but I am excited to see where this diet gets me in re-setting my body. Anyway, thank you steak and butter gal, along with so many others like dr. Chaffe, Ken berry, etc. for putting out this information that our wonderful “healthcare” system would never tell us. God bless.❤
Thank you for your inspiration - I'm 1 week Carnivore and feel so much better already. 😊
@@EB-wl9st wonderful! Good luck!❤️. I’m still experiencing so many benefits…I’m still working out the kinks, but I’m a believer! I even think this saved my dog’s life. I have a sixteen year old cairn terrier who has had an enlarged heart for some years now and has been taking enalapril for it. It has helped with her dry coughing spells and she has done fairly well with it. But just recently (the past two-three weeks), she’s been having fainting spells when she gets a little excited or exerts herself. Well, this carnivore diet has led me to do lots of research, and I have determined that it’s the garbage, dry kibble that has caused her heart problem and is trying to kill her. Forty percent carbohydrates!😮. And dogs are true carnivores! Anyway, I immediately took her off kibble, and started feeding her a raw carnivore diet…she is doing 100% better! Almost instantly! I am super convinced and grateful to be learning about this and determined to continue on the path to better health. So good luck to you again! Stick with it, and I believe you will see miracles!😊🐕🦺🙏
@@EB-wl9st How is week 2 going? My 1st day yesterday & I went strict with only am. 4eggs(3yolks) & 4 chicken drumsticks.. & 1 bite of my husband's sirloin steak to try - I barely eat meat in my 80% good diet & I can see that I really don't like MEAT much... I was having sugar carb withdrawls & CRANKY already. I have to rethink my approach. I HAVE to do carnivore to reset my digestion issues asap so this vid is the key to how I do this. I need to get rid of my sugar addtn😢😭
@@cinystarr4657Did you stay strict? I recommend weaning off of carbs instead of going cold turkey. Go cold turkey on junk (straight sugary foods), but keep minimal fruit and/or whole grains at first, gradually cutting back on them until they're eliminated from your diet, unless you reach a point at which you feel healthy with them minimally existing in your diet. 😉
I'm two wks in. I dove right in also. I'm 58 yrs and had the same physical issues as you mentioned. Along with debilitating SI Joint low back pain. I've been using a strick approach right now as an elimination diet. Hoping to identify anything not agreeing with me. DAY#1 my stomach pain, bloating and gas was gone. My back and joint pain is calming down. I struggled with sugar addiction as well. And the fat has allowed me to control myself like never before. I'm planning to stay strick for a full 90 days then evaluate for any tweeking.
I'm desperate for healing and need to go cold turkey. So tired of the sugar and carb cravings. Thank you so much for the video. Day 2...so far so good.
Day 7, cold turkey, jumped in from spontaneous motivation. Don’t regret it. The problems are not too hard and I am so much looking forward to my success ❤
Day 2 now dors it get better
Day 30, lost 20 pounds. just learned today about the hot animal fat in pan to use for cooking instead of digesting as it causes loose stool. I do have occasional leg cramps, trying to solve this with 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of salt before I go to bed.
@@jacobonline6923bro its been 48 hours. Youre body hasnt even realized what you are doing yet I doubt you continued
Hang in there! I'm on Day 4! No issues.
I went straight from the American diet to lion diet. I had 2 days of diarrhea and I've never felt better. Since then. I'm between 6 and 7 months in and I've lost over 70 pounds already and never had any complications with anything besides those 2 days of explosive diarrhea.
Me too...
4 years😊
Wow I went 5 mos n lost maybe 10#
No I’m not muscle bound now
No I’m not thin to begin
LOL
I did highfat yes
Do you measure your meat or just eat until you’re full?
Congrats.
20 days in, I went totally cold turkey and I have dropped a stone so far.
Not felt the urge to cheat. Some days I’ve found I’ve gone OMAD without realising !
My addiction to sugar was insane and definitely making me bigger and bigger, and hopefully this will alleviate that problem.
Great video as always! Could u create a video on the various phases of carnivore... like how many months to no longer crave carbs, at what point are u fat adapted? When will the first waves of temptation hit, at what point are u most likely to be able to coast?
I had to go Google a stone to pound conversion calculator 😂😂. Wow! 14 pounds. And you're thriving! I started Carnivore a week ago. Thank you for the inspiration 😊
Stone means 10 pounds
I just wouldn't be able to eat nothing but cold turkey.
@@farrh6867😂😂
I have been on carnivore went from 471 to 263 and daily oxalate crystals on my eyes daily. Since I ate Spinich 3 times a day for decades those crystals are being released daily. YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON TO SPEAK OF THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CHANNEL❤
There is other's that speak of oxalates in Spinach.
What does crystals look like coming out of your eyes?
Little crystalize gouck since i ate spinich for 10 years❤@@blobmonster9494
So you were Popoye for decades?
I'm almost there!!!!! I started a month ago dropping coke (which I could drink 24/7) and slowly removed all the junk food. I dumped my pantry last weekend. I've been eating more meat and less veggies. Today I brought home flanken steaks, rib eye steaks, ground beef, cheese, Fairlife Milk (twice the protein and half the sugar of regular milk), eggs, and yogurt. I'm going to cook some meat in my air fryer and learn how to poach eggs this weekend. I am sooo excited! Thank you so much for sharing what you've learned.
So awesome!! You got this!!!
Well done.
How did you drop the cokes? That is my addiction
I had to stop it cold turkey. I’m in pain all the time,, because of the sugar and I wanted to be pain free more than I wanted the coke. A lot of my pain is gone since I broke up with sugar.
If the powers that be are calling for less meat and more vegetables we should do the opposite...
I agree and always thought the same thing...
do and think the opposite of the mainstream official conventional narrative.
Yep, eat meat...
at least for as long as
the "powers that be"
allow us to 😐
I went straight into carnivore and had no issues. 4 weeks in feel amazing lost 20 lbs so far. Can't wait to see how much my health improves and my weight loss continues.
It's not a guarantee that you won't experience diarrhea and you'll think it came out of nowhere. Prof Bart Kay has said even up to 6 months later, you can experience the diarrhea from the sudden diet change.
@@w1975byeah I did have a little later on. But not much. But no issues here except super thirsty, as I couldn't hold water unless I had veggies. But I plowed through it.
I bet your skin and hair is starting to look so much better. When I got 4 weeks in on carnivore a friend of mine (very ripped alpha guy) looked at me and simply said, "you look different. Don't take this the wrong way but your skin it's glowing with youth right now. You look amazing."
I bet that you like salt
Can we have an update please?
You completely answered all my questions and fears of carnivore. I have about 150lbs to lose. I’m 62. And I want to enjoy my life. I’ve worked hard since I was 15. I’ve not taken care of myself at all. Now is the time. I’m going to do exactly as you stated and cut back and add the meat and fat… thank you so much.❤
I'm keto and I don't think I would have considered going carnivore without keto. I see it as a stepping stone towards healing.
Your progress pics are amazing btw. You look stunning!!!!
Carnivore is also a keto diet. I was also keto before carnivore. I would recommend keto still because people need to find out what their body does when you eliminate carbs and use fat/ketones as your main energy source! Going carnivore had more benefits: eliminating vegetables made my diverticulitis go away and upping my protein to at least 1 gram protein per pound of body weight has my body recomping into something I am loving! My appetite control is superb which allows me to do various forms of fasting. My skin is younger and smoother when I look in the mirror. I also feel and sleep great. All thanks to my staple foods: beef, eggs, beef bone broth, butter, lard/bacon grease.
All meat is nauseating
Steak and Butter Gal, Bella, has No Idea how Grateful we ALL are, that she talks so openly about the realities of each diet, like going number #2 a million cazillion times, lol and the skin before and after. It's just nice that someone doesn't gross us all out BUT does cover these important topics while giving us all the Best Alternatives for the Best Diet, which is obviously. the Carnivore Diet. Thanks Bella!!
THIS 🎉
What a totally excellent introduction to carnivorous eating. I started via the keto route, and now I'm mostly carnivore, but with avocados and extra virgin olive oil thrown in... lost 42lbs of fat and I feel great!
I kinda did this but as I went through my first month my body started calling the shots. “No more coffee, cut back that diet soda, salt salt more salt. Chicken please, okay now back to beef…”
Yes agree
Mine keeps saying “burgers and fries!” “Burgers and fries!”
Been a tough road
@@astrovewlix5929Your comment made me laugh as it resonates with me…I am a food addict and a binge eater and I am having a hard time with controlling my food issues
Poultry n white fish need extra fat added (even dark meat poultry)
@@YeshuaKingMessiahI don't worry about it. I don't use any oils and only enough butter or lard to cook in, when necessary. I get fats from what is in my food almost exclusively and I have no problems seven months in. My weight is dropping and my measurements are shrinking, and I have no intestinal problems. Adding additional fat might cause intestinal issues, so no thanks.
I hated the bloat and pooping constantly and i got cracks in corners of my mouth when I was vegan. plus pale colorless Gums....😢 Im Carnivore for life now It healed everything and MORE!!!!!🎉❤
I cant understand whats the point of jumping from one extreme to the other. Most people have no issues reaping the benefits of both vegs and meat&dairy n eggs. Since carnivore is the ultimate elimination diet, you will never know what else would benefit you. Its your loss
@@TheHungarianOak No veggies or grain or fruit for me. Once I went Carnivore i gkt off all three B.P. meds and Im no longer type 2 diabetic PERIOD. Being Vegan for a whole year never ever did that for me.!!!! Happy National Carnivore Month sir🥳 🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🍗🍗🧈
@@TheHungarianOak I consume NO SUGAR OR CARBS.
its not extreme at all, its a natural diet that you clearly don't understand, its your loss @@TheHungarianOak
@@mrmachine5632 nope, its an elimination diet, you are clueless
This video is so helpful. I am just starting the diet and just like any low-carb diet I've tried in the past, I am experiencing nausea and diarrhea, as well as a bit of meat aversion. I have never been a big meat eater, and I have been eating the standard American diet for most of my life. I am glad to hear that I need to wean myself off of certain things rather than jumping 100% into this so that it lasts me for a long time. I am at about 420 lbs. and disabled due to an autoimmune disease, as well as restrictive airway disease, fatty liver disease, and low mobility. When people say this diet is crazy, I tell them my regular diet is literally going to be my demise if I keep it up. So, here goes. Thank you for the information!
Salts and high-fat eating are pretty helpful.
Have you heard of Stephany Keto Person?
How are you doing?
If you have diarrhea on carnivore, you're probably eating too much fat. Dr Jennifer Geissert wrote about this. Cut down on fats. I don't eat any extra fat, like sticks of butter or extra oils. Just what's in the meat and dairy. Eat more fish, maybe, and more eggs and cheese, unless you're allergic.
I jumped right in to full carnivore with no hesitation from the start, but have had NONE of these mentioned negative effects. From the improvements in 3 weeks I'm in for life as long as meat is available!! Thank you for your videos.
OFC as everybody else, beef, salt water, ideally mineral. You dont need anything else. I have a feeling that youtubers are mad that it does not require new videos, cause its too simple :)
@@Matooosh bang on
Fortunately, I experienced none of the beginner problems you've mentioned here. I also reduced my intake of carbs and sugar by approximately 90%. 18 lbs. down in 6 weeks, inflammation and quality of sleep improved also. And I am never hungry. That was the biggest surprise. My wife thought I was sick because of how much I cut back on eating. Thanks and cheers
Yep. I did carnivore last year for a couple months and felt amazing. Fell off the wagon and gained 25 pounds back. I'm on my 4th day again with carnivore and intermittent fasting and all of the sudden my hunger drive went to hardly anything today. I did an 18 hour fast and felt full after 3 bites of meat. That's all I've eaten today besides some salt and lemon juice. Feeling great. It's a weird feeling to feel content with an empty stomach. I forgot about this sensation.
I've dropped down to keto this week and lost about 7.5 lbs in 2 days obviously mostly water weight at this point but going from 240 to 232 as a 6ft3 man is a pretty big drop since I only need to lose 40 to 50lbs to be a healthy weight. My biggest thing is trying to reset my immune system and get rid of my psoriasis before slowly bringing things back into the diet mostly rice, veggies and dairy I'm thinking, pepperettes with havarti cheese is a better snack than sugar any day
@@Andyman269 Don't stop Andy. The 1st 2 weeks will show you how your body is taking it. Rock on, sir!
@@metriczeppelin yeah it's just a cleanse for me, then I can figure out what foods are actually causing my issues
I've been 100% carnivore for almost 2 years and the transition was rough (wish I had more info about it when I started). It took about 90 days for my body to truly accept the diet, but I stuck to it and post 90 days I started experiencing significant benefits. The benefits continued all the way to the 1 year mark and it's been smooth sailing for me since. I love this diet, it eliminates all of the digestive issues, allergies, chronic inflammation, pain, and skin issues that I had for decades. I wouldn't give it up for anything.
Please share (with me) what you would have done differently. I'm on day 9 and feel craptastic. Very weak. Dull headache, just started getting the runs. No energy at all. I took a shower and thought I was going to collapse
@@user-kp8gn9jk2q The first few weeks will be rough, especially if you aren't fat adapted coming from a keto diet. One of the things I struggled with was understanding how much fat my body needed to replace the carbs. Make sure you're eating fatty cuts of meat. You can also supplement with butter and cheese to help during the transition period. Assuming you can stick to the diet you should start feeling some improvement after the first 30 days and by the 60 day mark you'll start to feel great. Keep at it, it gets better. And stay away from the carbs and any non-carnivore food during the first few months (cheese being an exception). If you do supplement with cheese to help ease the transition period, I would cut that out after you start feeling better and focus on red meat as your primary source of calories. 80/20 ground beef is your friend. Great for an easy meal. Make sure you're eating till you are completely full regardless of how much food that is.
@@IronicTonic8 thank you for replying. Today is day 10 and I think I'm feeling better. I'm not hungry enough I think. I just had a steak w salt. It had quite a bit of fat.
Can’t thank you enough. Struggling with Hashimotos for years. Two days on Carnivore. These tips are incredibly helpful ❤
I went on the Carnivore Diet 6 months ago and lost 40 pounds. Now I've been on a plateau almost 2 months. I decided to try the Lions Diet and now I'm losing weight again and I feel even better!
What is the lions diet?
@@fluffypink6unnyonly beef salt and water.
@@tiffanyelainestubbsfarrull2204 ; thank you.
This is me too. I've plateaued. Was eating more ketovore while losing almost 45 lbs since mid June of this year. Guessing I'll have to do more strict carnivore to spur weight loss again.
@@tiffanyelainestubbsfarrull2204beef aka any ruminant
I'm two weeks into full-throttle carnivore and had ALL those lovely symptoms. Never even heard of oxylates until I was dumping them like crazy. Despite that, I've already experienced huge mood improvements and weight loss. My husband starts carnivore tomorrow, so he gets the benefit of your advice!
My hair has gone from white back to brown after 2.5 months 🥰🥰🥰🥰
People who haven't seen me since in the Summer... Were blown away by my glowing skin... My hair as I said is getting darker.

So happy with this choice to be Carnivore... No more bloat, Indigestion, reflux and bleeding gums resolved. 👏👏👏👏👏
More Joy and Gratitude in my life too!
Boy did i need this today! Today was the third day of trying carnivore, and yes, i went 100% right away. Got to enjoy the diarrhea and nausea. Decided to eat an orange and the feeling went away. Going to go slower with this for sure.
Look into what foods like oranges and their high fructose do to you. Look for a different way to be flexible
Wow! Wow! Wow!!! Those before and after photos say SO much! Thanks for sharing. Not getting sexual in any way in what I am about to say. Just saying what I see. Your skin is SO beautiful. Your hair is SO beautiful. Your eyes are SO clear. Your voice and your face shows so much great energy. I am so impressed with your transformation. I have been on carnivore for 3 months now. Your videos are SO helpful. Many Many thanks there. My only complaint about carnivore diet is what do so with all the FAT and GREASE all over my kitchen, my dishes, my outdoor griddle. How the heck to deal with it all is a challenge. But well worth it. Thanks for all you are doing.
Reducing the heat if your maxing it out can help to reduce splatter. Drain grease as it collects rather than leaving it in the pan. Bake (with a lid) vs pan fry... cooking bacon in oven works beautifully though can take longer. Be careful of water content...bacon sometimes collects water before the first flip and I can get a face full of splatter when I turn over the bacon in the frying pan.
I switched to a cast iron pan instead of non-stick pan and stopped adding butter before cooking beef or pork and it helped immensely.
Still gonna get splatter...just have to wipe it / dish soap it up as you go.
My best advice….. a good air fryer! Mess is contained and clean up is sooooo easy! No messy stove, countertops, backsplash. Best thing I ever did!
Vinegar is a great degreaser and cleaner. It also kills 99.9 % of all germs and is antibacterial. I keep a spray bottle of it at my kitchen sink. Also I use the thin brown paper napkins ( Costco) to clean greasy dishes. It is cheap, unbleached and can be put in the green bin. 🙃
When frying, turn the heat down a bit and use a lid. I fry most of the time and I rarely make a mess. Dawn dish soap is best for cleaning greasy pots/dishes and the occasional splatter on the stove or counter.
@@firstinthedance
Is Dawn Soap Toxic? Yes, Dawn Dish Soap is toxic because it contains harmful ingredients like Triclosan, 1,4-dioxane, synthetic dye, fragrance, and the dreaded methylisothiazolinone. These ingredients can cause mild to severe health conditions like nerve and liver damage, skin irritation, and allergic reactions.
Most helpful for me to deal with oxalates has been ACV and lemon juice in water, and minerals: zinc, cal-mag.
Good luck, all!
I like how you talk from experience with empathy for the listener.
I went to Thailand on a remote farm for 60 days eating 100% local food and felt the best I ever have.
Came back home Canada for 6 months eating a more vegetable based diet with no what we call junk food or junk carbs. Progressively feeling worse.
PLAN
Now going more carnivcore.
Return to Thailand Dec Jan on remote farm and document.
(it is only local organic grown, animals raised and killed local, interesting is eating local rice I feel good on, no local Circle K etc so no alcohol or typoical convienence ).
I am looking forward to seeing if this Thailand eating/living style returns my feeling great.
If you are interested can write something in February or March.
Have a wonderful day 🙏
I'd be interested in an update!
I LOVE Thailand. Enjoy!
I was just in Thailand and ate street food like crazy. Mostly meat and fruit. But I also walked most of the time there. I lost 10 lbs. The food there isn't filled with garbage.
@@lucylu59 thailand can work great as it can be quite natural in Thailand to choose local produce and to avoid eating the junk and processed food and I avoid small particle foods such as flour, etc. The sad part for me is Thailand now has junk food attracting the children in the more populated areas.
@nickh5099 you can source great quality beef from European butchers in Thailand. We are there now
@nickh5099 gosh it sounds like you're looking for where we are living!! It's beautiful here, beach town about three hours from Bangkok, cheap, easy to get around, can scooter easily and still lots of things to see and do. It's called hua hin.
The eggs here are delicious, better than in Australia and butter ready to buy from expat supermarkets. Lots of grilled chicken, pork, fresh seafood, etc. There are probably three or four places I can buy imported beef here or you can buy local Thai beef as well. If you decide to visit hua hin, let me know 👍
Great advice. 18 months into my journey. Glad to see you back to making content. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for what you do Bella! I am 7 weeks carnivore and I appreciate everything I am learning from you, Dr Barry and Neisha, Dr Chaffee. I came from having chronic migraines, more than 20 per month... To having only 3-4 since January when I started carnivore. Thank God for all you carnivore teachers!!!!
I appreciate your honesty and giving us the reality of what you have learned over the years❤
Bella, I did the same thing in January 2020, I went head first into the Carnivore Diet. I experienced dizziness,, explosive bathroom runs, and the oxalate dumping, which was horrible. It wasn't until a couple months after starting did I see a video on not plunging too fast into the Carnivore Diet. Live and learn. I have not touched plant foods or fruit for almost 4 years now.
Hi. How long did it take for your diarrhea to go away?
I'm new to carnivore, and your videos have helped educate me immensely. I'm coming from a lower carb diet and am easing myself into carnivore. That seems like the best way after I heard you speak about oxylate dumping, and I've been eating lots of nuts for what I thought was a "healthy" snack and to supplement my packed lunches at work. I'm really glad to hear you say it's ok for me to ease my way into carnivore like that, because in all the Dr. Berry videos I've seen so far he is advising a strict full illumination diet from day one for 90 days. I'm trusting my instincts that a slower approach would be better for me, and it's very helpful to hear someone with your experience say, hey, that's ok, too.
Same…working my way down to carnivore. After I find my happy place, I may be curious enough to try an elimination diet in order to optimize health.
This is very wise. Not everyone needs full on carnivore. Keto works great for most and still gives lots of variety n flexibility.
Once carnivore you have to re introduce carbs back slowly or could activate weight gain easily.
Same here.Did a colonoscopy a week ago.I had to hard fast a couple days prior to the colonoscopy,and clean my colon completely.I cant explain how well I felt.The thing is I have to change my diet,but I don't know how?The more videos I check the more confusing it gets.I don't have weight issues or anything of that kind, but have been suffering from insomnia for years ,low energy, and often time get some negative reaction after eating my meals.
I was keto for the past 4 years and when my menopause hit , it just wasn’t helping much . I finally got myself together and started carnivore about 3 weeks ago ago and im seeing some results, with pain and weightloss and im so excited to start this new journey
Could you please tell me what you’re eating for meats? I’m thinking of starting this. Thank you ❤
I’m premenopausal and still in the learning phase of carnivore although I know I do best on keto. Is carnivore good for premenopausal women as far as hormones go?
@@daniellemorgan9222From what I’ve read high fat is very good for regulating hormones. Dr Ken Berry and Kelly Hogan from Myzerocarblife TH-cam channel also discussed it. I am also 3 weeks in and I’m also perimenopausal.
Can you give us an update please? I think menopausal women struggle to drop weight.
@@ilsevanheerden4976 I've been low carb for years and did really well on it - stopped the yoyo dieting, stabilised my weight after a 5kg loss, and stopped the "hangry' and other low blood sugar symptoms. Now 5 years after menopause, it doesn't seem to be working any more. I have rosacea, and eczema and slow weight gain and cravings.
So here goes. I'm going to try carnivore as a 'reset'.
Your piano playing is over the moon! I loved hearing it. Always wanted to play piano but family was too poor for lessons. You make up for it!!! Thank you!
I have been going back and forth dedicating myself to the carnivore woe and this video has definitely help me make up my mind!! Today is a new day 1 for me and I’m totally persuaded to give this an honest go! Thank you Bella!❤
Thanks so very much for your sharing and being honest and candid with us. Helps to know and understand our own experiences
Good morning from Copperhill Tn. Always good to hear from you, with great information for our health.
You’re the first one I heard outta all of em to put it regular speak. Me eyes opened as realised I had these issues but didn’t know why. Thanks again.
This is perhaps your BEST video, Bella! Thank you 😊
I jumped right in from the SAD the exact same way Bella suggested not to do, lol. Since July 1 I’ve lost over 50 lbs. I’m now roughly 10ish pounds from my goal weight! I know my body will tell me what weight is best for me. I was ready for a drastic change. I needed do what was necessary to be here for a very long time for my 7 year old daughter & to work to eliminate the chronic bone & joint pain exacerbated by extra, excessive weight.
Bella, SUPERB advice for people considering the carnivore lifestyle.
Thank you for being honest with us new carnivores. Your advice is makes common sense. Keep up the good work girl, love your posts.
I believe the carnivore diet is a miracle for many people. However, there are also many people who testify to healthier bodies eating fruits and veggies as well. In fact, many people who suffered from cancers have overcome that disease eating veggies, some of them juicing, etc. So, I do believe that it depends on the individual. What works for one person may not work for another.
THANK YOU.
This has been the MOST informative and down to earth helpful video about the carnivore diet and lifestyle that I have heard from you or several others!!!
I’ve been stumbling along, not being very successful yet.
This changes it all, especially weaning off other foods and gradually going totally carnivore.
Bella is the BOMB
you are glowing , Bella , your radiant health and confidence are amazing ,thank you
Thank you. I stopped carnivore last year because I dived head first into it. Now I’m easing into it … 7 weeks now and this is sustainable. Hoping to heal hypothyroid , malnutrition , chronic stress .
Can you please share what you’re doing different now?
@@laurabailey9256 Hi, I’m eating less butter and I seem to be doing what Kelly Hogan did for the first 5 years…. Hamburger patties and Diet Coke …. I am supplementing though because I can’t afford grass fed. Eventually I’m sure I will adjust the way I do carnivore but for now I feel good
If you have a Wendy's in your area, ask them for large meat patties. Here they cost $1.50 each. (Not all Wendy's will sell them separately though..). ..So convenient when working and I don't take food for lunch.
@@gmct1000 👍
Thank you so much for creating this video. I recently just went from a typical American diet and tried switching to the Lions diet all at once. After watching your video it showed me how a more gradual approach would be best. I am looking forward to learning more from you and your group.
Your skin from before looks exactly how my skin looked. The year I turned 30 my skin completely reversed course and (as though it wasn't enough) I began to rapidly gain weight despite being weight conscious my entire life. What a nightmare. So blessed to have found a potential answer to my prayers.
Well said!!!! This video is going to help a lot of people. Love your channel and your less dogmatic approach.
Bella, you are so clear and articulate about moving to the Carnivore Diet.
@Bella, I think you may have just saved my life with this video. Thank you!!
I was actually fine on my first month just jumping into it, but I did change up what meat I was eating. Like if I felt aversion to beef I ate some other animal. I found seafood was very helpful whenever I didn't want red meat. My problem was social eating, cause relatives made oxalate heavy foods that would give me different symptoms instantly and by going straight to carnivore my body became even more sensitive to it. RN im just mostly carnivore
Interesting, I'm literally craving burgers and red meat no. No fail. But yes we are all different. When I go out to eat I eat a lot before hand and eat just a little out. And still very few veggies. No one notices ;)
Thank you for addressing the poop 💩 issues that are common and how to fix!
Absolutely outstanding and soooo practical !!! Thank you 'Bella' for your generous support!
I have been on the carnivore diet for 90 days. Went through the symptoms that you have described but as a month ago I am good. I have reversed my type 2 diabetes!! I will never go back to the american death diet!
You are so encouraging. Thank you from a 73 yr old Alaskan grandma.
Just started following you from your interview a yr ago with Dr. Chaffee. I like your thoroughness and I'm already sharing your content :) Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for this video. I started cold turkey. Diarrhea was so painful I had to stop the carnivore diet. I ate all the liquid hot fat of the meat. Now I know better. I want to begin again, but will need to watch this video often as a reminder. Very grateful!
Excellent video! Thank you so much! Strayed two weeks ago and am having some of these exact issues.
Ur videos are my go to for carnivore facts❤ I went from drinking a lot of alcohol and eating fast food to being mostly carnivore. I did and still sometimes do still go crazy #2s so this video was FOR ME. I’m on about day 45 and even with a non carnivore snack here and there I don’t feel like complete trash anymore
Bonjour ( from France ) J’ ai commencé il y’a 1 mois, de végane durant 30 ans,je suis devenue carnivore, sans transition,j’ ai 75 ans et n’ai aucun des symptômes dont vous parlez, tout se passe très bien, je me sens beaucoup mieux qu’avant avec beaucoup plus d’énergie, le plus dur à été de supprimer le fromage, qui avec le pain était avait ma préférence
Ma fille a commencé aussi quelques jours avant moi et est aussi ravie
Merci infiniment
Catherine
Le fromage quand vous étiez végane ? 🌱
Excusez-moi j’ai fait un lapsus, j’étais végétarienne, avec œuf et fromage, à mon époque le terme « végane « n’existait pas , c’est pourquoi quelques fois je me trompe
Catherine
9 mois regime carnivore et ca marche bien pour le moment
Bonjour pourquoi avoir enlevé le fromage puisque c’est autorisé dans le régime carnivore? J’ai commencé il y a une semaine j’espère tenir pour ma santé.
@@Sophia2143 Le fromage se transforme en glucose dans le sang et augmente donc le taux de glucose qui aura pour consequence de secreter l'insuline dans le sang. Si votre but est de perdre du poids, il faut enlever le fromage. Le regime carnivore est aussi connu par un regime d'elimination, donc c'est dans le plus grand interet de manger exclusivement rien d'autre que de la viande pendant 3 mois et apres peut-etre inclure d'autres aliments. Honnetement le regime carnivore c'est bien mais faites attention comme tout regime: par exemple la viande rouge entraine un exces de fer dans le foie qui ne peut pas etre epure, et ce fer se coincera dans vos muscles et vous donnera par exemple des crampes et des spasmes dans les membres et mal aux os et mal aux nerfs et de la fatigue. Les oeufs avec le poisson n'ont pas ce probleme et en plus il y a plein d'omegas 3 dans le poisson (si vous prenez du poisson sauvage). Le probleme du regime carnivore c'est qu'il n'y a pas toutes les autres vitamines que vous pouvez trouver dans les legumes ou le fruits par exemple. Un peu de tout en moderation dans la vie ne peut pas faire de mal, sauf si vous avez deja atteind le stade du diabete/surpoids .. .etc
Thank you for all your info…extremely helpful. AND…enjoy your amazingly articulate explanations of all aspects. AND…love your music.
Thank you! Love all of your videos. This is such a good primer for getting started.
Thanks so much for the "eye bugger" info. I have had quite a bit of that too! Now I know why. I also get some bad skin rashes that itch bad. Know I know why. Thanks so much for sharing.
Today is my last day as an omnivore, I have given myself to the 15th of March at full carnivore. I have been low carb, high fat, big meat, for months and my blood glucose is still very high. I fast every day, sometimes for a few days. I am preparing for worsening symptoms, but I am hopeful of healing and longer life in joy and health
Good luck, please do update this comment with your progress
It's been just over 6 weeks on carnivore, for me, salt has been key. With continuing high blood glucose and consequently high insulin I have had problems with potassium and magnesium too low. Carnivore is very satisfying and so I am able to fast very easily. I have to be patient with myself as I am healing many decades of damage
@@mayetchells8884 I bought myself a ketomojo so Incan track my glucose and ketones. 3 hours After a port chop
breakfast my glucose was at 6.3mmol/L
Today I had a lamb chop and my glucose was 5.3 about 3 hours after. Ketones were higher as well at 2. Yesterday 1.5. Ruminant meat is better.
@@mayetchells8884 can you get celtic sea salt? I hear it has a good balance of Sodium, potassium and magnesium.
I’m starting tomorrow. Any words of advice? Are you taking any supplements? Have you lost any weight? How do you feel?
I’m in the process of starting this diet so so, so glad i came across your video, I was not sure of how to start or what to do,but you helped so much and now I feel so much more confident about this, I have been looking at so many of the videos on carnivore diet and they all are so wonderful, but you have helped so much now I understand how to actually start, thank you 🙏 so very very much!!!!!!!!
Excellent no BS practical advice. Thank you.
Love this video. I’m very determined to start!
I went back and forth between constipation and diarrhea. I also really struggled daily with staying on carnivore because I just couldn’t bear the thought of eating one more bite of meat. There were many days where I just couldn’t eat at all and many days where I couldn’t bring myself to eat until around 3 pm. I really love meat! The problem is, when you grow up really really poor you become accustomed to eating meals that have meat hidden them so that food stretches farther. So for me it was extremely challenging trying to eat entire steaks or chew on heavy servings of meat everyday. Growing up, most of our diet consisted of my mother having to put meat in various casseroles so that our food would stretch. It was a very very rare occasion that we ever had steak. I believe this is why I have had such an extremely difficult time adjusting to the carnivore diet. I just never grew up diving into a piece of meat with a knife and fork. The textures are so different to anything I’ve ever been used to. Rice, bread and pasta have such lush textures that surround whatever protein you’re having so eating has always been such a pleasurable experience. Once I was confronted with the very different experience of only consuming meat at every meal each day, the adjustment to the textures proved to be more than I could tolerate. Eating became an absolute drudgery to the point that I dreaded eating so much that I kept delaying meals or I would refrain from eating altogether until I finally grew very weak and collapsed at my friends home. I tried to force myself to push through all the exhaustive tedium of endless chewing, hoping my palate would eventually adjust to this new lifestyle but then I would find myself literally crying through my entire meal. After a month and a half of feeling so at odds with this choice and after collapsing at my friend’s home I decided to finally give up on the diet. Never before have I felt so psychologically challenged and defeated by a life sustaining activity as I did when I was on that diet. The aversion to food was just the tip of the iceberg. My hair became dull and lifeless and I developed dandruff which I’ve never had before. My skin began to get extremely dry and flaky, I could not go to the bathroom for two weeks at a time only to be followed by extreme stomach upset to the point that I simply could not stop going. My ankles began to swell inexplicably. I had a headache for four weeks that simply would never go away. My joints felt like a fiery inferno and it felt as if the pain would pierce straight down to the very core of my marrow. I just didn’t want to give up but I finally threw in the towel. That was a year ago. I feel so beaten. So utterly and completely defeated by food. I know with absolute certainty this lifestyle works. If it were not for the extremely kind and caring people in the carnivore community, I would have thought I was absolutely losing my mind but thankfully many took the time to reassure me that I was not alone and they too had experienced most or all of the exact same reactions. I want to start again. I know it’s possible to survive and thrive the acclimation period. This channel has been an immeasurable source of hope information and encouragement. You all have my respect and admiration. I can’t thank everyone here enough for showing up and for being so willing to help and support others who are struggling. I’m just so in awe of this community. They’re truly unmatched in their willingness and ability to demonstrate compassion. You’ve all been such an inspiration to me. ❤
Why would you do it again if it made you cry? No more pity parties bro, seems like you’re looking for attention.
How about the ketogenic way of eating. I'm a keto-carnivore in diet. This video is a treasure. I now put 3/4 teaspoon mineral salt into per liter of water. That is my change other than low-carb. Best wishes, it's hard.
You don't have to eat pieces of meat. You can blend with egg & make tortillas or pizzas, you can make carnivore bread & have sandwiches. Ground beef omelette. Carnivore sushi. Blended soup. Fish & other seafoods is less chewy. Watch some carnivore recipes on TH-cam for inspiration.
What about sausages? Prosciutto, bresaola, speck , chicken liver, ox tail,ox tongue ?
@@flaviamilani1927Ok except sausages.
Thanks for your honesty❤
thank you for sharing these tips. Made me feel a little more sane, knowing the body fights the change a little at first. Subscribed…
3 months into carnivore.....never had any diarrhea.... but got constipation, getting better now
Add more fat!
I wondered about this. I started keto only 2 weeks ago.
Wonderful info! I’m Keto and “Carni-Curious”. Btw-Your gorgeous glowing skin alone is an inspiration.
Me too. I like that; carni curious. ❤
Excellent video, so much information, exactly what I was looking for! I really want to thank you so much for helping me give myself grace. I always feel like I have to do things all the way right from the start so hearing you say it’s okay to start slowly really helped me feel better. Thank you! 😊
It saved my life from heart problems and brain stroke this year. Good Doc report and a healthy look. Low BMI. High Energy...
I myself started 100% carnivore and it drastically improved my digestion, immediately. I didn’t notice any negative side effects, with the exception of palate fatigue after about 6 months (still battling that!). I think my body was already somewhat clean though, prior to this due to switching back and forth between various ways of testing “healthy” eating over the past 15 years.
I do think this is why its great to hear from a variety of Carnivore'keto folks as we all have our own journey and what where we are coming from :) so great vid :)
being 60 and loosing well over 100 lbs 5'11' back to my weight of my 20s and 30s at 178 lbs and maintained that for last 3 years
4 years total being carnivore
if I eat chicken or pork I feel off and I can't do eggs :) never liked veggies and no desire to do anything else so strict carnivore works for me as I know some others strict or lion works for them :)
never bored :) never crave other foods ;) and feel insane good and not just for my age :)
I do think we need to experiment with foods for each of us find what works what makes us happy and for some that is strict for some that is the variety and having some veggies and fruits work for them and they are happy
for others chicken and pork and eggs and spices and coffee works
for sure no ONE way to do this :) its individual for each one of us
I do think its worth doing lion for 3 months and then bring back in foods just so you know and felt that and as you bring back in things decide what stays or goes :)
Thank you so much for all your help! I’m just starting and i’m searching for good info. I really appreciate this video and know it will help me. We love you! ❤️
I have been converting to carnivore and have been doing it as you recommended. It seems to be working for me. Finishing off some nuts I have and promised myself this is it for plants. Listening to your video just confirms what my body has been telling me. Thank you so much for all of the help.😊
Thank you for pointing out cheese is a reliable carnivore snack.Before I watched this video,I ate a banana when I was craving for something. My niece loves cheese and chomps it down whenever I buy them.This video has been very helpful for both of us!
Cheese. Full fat yogurt n sour cream they r all great. Some people like whipped heavy cream n eat with berries for treats or dessert. Yogurt works for me and yes, cheese n ham omelets, or with bacon, sausages, or even just a chunk of cheese. Leftovers on hand help a lot for quick fixes/ emergencies 😊
What an informative and needed video! As a almost fully vegan person, I jumped into carnivore 100% overnight. Omg! To say I had terrible reactions is an understatement! Complete watery bowels - multiple times a day and night. Nausea to the point of almost vomiting. Right front flank plus excruciating (referred) back pain. Low pressure. Dizziness, headaches, etc. No way to explain it.
I’m now trying to regroup and go more keto to eventually go carnivore. I can’t thank enough for this video! It truly validates my experiences, thoughts, fears and hopes. THANK YOU!
Might be a bit late but I would definitely try electrolytes and extra hydration to combat the dizziness and headaches.
@@anakei160 thank you!
I just saw your video, definitely I’m going to watch more to learn and start my journey.
4 days in, exactly what I needed. I am feeling all the things you mentioned. Now I can navigate through. The best thing I heard was lemons!!! 😊
Love your content Bella ❤
My blood work was just done after eating this way for 6 months. Everything is totally in normal limit. Right where it belongs.❤
Great commentary and advice steak & butter girl 😁 your honesty and facts are very inspiring and I appreciate it. I’m on my beginning adventure now with carnivore so I’ll see how it goes
Thank you so much!
That was super helpful.
This is a great video. I've tried carnivore twice for several months at a time e but the dumping was too much for this 70 yr old polio body. I will try again under your advice thank you so much . When I do go carnivore I feel so much better.
It's a great video. Thank you. Lots of well-balanced advice.
I do find roasting my meat; legs of lamb, large chunks of beef and eating it cold, saves a lot of time and is so much easier to digest. Meat in one hand and butter in the other. 😋
Very well said, indeed. Thansks for the information.
This information is amazing, thanks so much! 🙏🏽💜😍
This was great 👌🏼I've dropped 43kgs this last 12months eating predominantly animal based. But I really want to tighten up & be more diligent. I still want to shed 25kgs more. My heaviest weight was 165kgs.
Thanks so much for the advice on how to start carnivore. I was deciding on whether to jump right in or transition thanks for confirming transitioning. I’m hoping to get some healings for my cancer. ❤
Sending prayers for healing. ❤
My sister did no meat, juicing, coffee enemas. It didn't work. Sugars feed it. Protein n fats for the win😊
God bless you on your journey. ❤
Really good! Love your attitude and approach!
