Dr Chaffee’s message is so clear and motivating. I’m never confused and always smarter after listening to the good doctor. The message is spreading, everyone in my life is intrigued and some have already converted. I think they have all been waiting for permission to eat a good steak.

[@stevelauder1976]

Been carnivore a year and back in the gym for 7 week. I'm 47 years old and my body is changing soooo fast, I've been asked if I'm on trt! The rate at which my body is changing is ridiculous... And the only thing cutting my sessions short is my schedule. I generally train for an hour but I have the same intensity at the end as I had at the start. Carnivore is the ONLY way to get big quick when not taking PED's.

[@TechTeam713]

My experience is different... carnivore diet definitely works for weight loss, but as gains are concerned it didn't work for me, as I lost too much weight too fast and made me look skinny...used to go to the gym 5 times a week...so I ended up looking lean but in the eyes of others either skinny or looking I'll as I lost that much weight

[@stevelauder1976]

@@TechTeam713 Sorry... Late back to the party. Potentially it's water retention. For every 1g of carbs you usually eat, your body needs 3ml of water. If you've been training a long time my guess is you're on 3000-4000 calories per day? Significant carbs? If so, your muscles would also be nicely plump with water. I guess the benefit for me is in already being carnivore. My water weight, fat (etc) went away some time ago, so the contrast is easily measured. If you were already big, I guess it's going to be a different impact, and one you may not be too happy with in the first instance

I'm basing this on myself. My optimal has been fatty red beef, predominantly rib eye. Adding extra fat generally slows the process of fat burn or getting ripped. Usually once a week I eat kangaroo cooked in beef tallow. I don't add extra tallow or butter. So when I record this into macro counting app it indicates usually my protein intake is slightly higher (occasionally double of fat intake). Only reason I use this app is to control carb intake for days where i may divert off my lion diet.

@@neilmercer2508 Actually that wasn’t to accommodate his vegetarian readers. He only advocated it for 5 day periods, not long term, and he used it himself. Gironda also advised against his steak & eggs diet or hormone precursor diet (AKA 36 eggs a day) for long periods of time. Furthermore, even in his steak & eggs layout he had a carbohydrate meal every 3-5 days of STRICTLY carbohydrates, no added protein or fat. The ideal example he gives was a meal of spaghetti noodles with tomato sauce. Doesn’t sound carnivore to me. And where I take umbrage with Chaffee, is that he has claimed multiple times in multiple videos that Vince Gironda basically just ate steak & eggs and on the 5th day he just ate “whatever”, but this couldn’t be further from the truth and simply shows that Chaffee hasn’t actually read Vince’s work.

55 and always been a lifter. Also was always roughly Atkins school of thought for 20+ years. I know , carbs right😂. But after multiple surgeries and getting fat I decided to carnivore. Lost 80 pounds and now lean as ever without even working out. Mind you I have/had a strong muscle base. So , just started lifting again and I am pissed😂. The muscle is stacking on noticeably fast. Faster than in my 20-30’s. No slow, stiff recovery days etc. and at 55. Only wish I hadn’t stretched my skin while fat for a couple years, but it seems to be getting tighter and tighter so all in all happy. I can take loose skin for the obvious health benefits I am seeing.

The burping means your zinc maybe be low. Not enough stomach acid as zinc is associated with the making of stomach acids

[@melysacathcartcallrightsre4577]

I feel like the burping might be hunger or to do with the gall bladder becoming more active and needing a bit more fat to squeeze out the bile to empty and to emulsify fats that day. We have to fully empty the gall bladder each day to keep it healthy or to rehabilitate it back into proper, full action.

Interesting I did a egg butter cheese fast for 3 days about 2 weeks ago and experienced diarrhea and then acid reflux the next few days aft6nut didn't feel like eating anything for a few more days or so afterwards. Till it all settled down. Maybe it was my bile adjusting?

[@trxe420]

It's not just the easy muscle gains, it's the stamina too. I am a powerlifter and I was really worried when I switched to this diet that I wouldn't have the stamina primarily due to a lack of carbs, but I feel like I have more. My workouts have increased to 2 hours (lots of it is practicing form) and I have no issues getting through it. The hunger signals are probably the weirdest thing to me, I never really feel hungry like I used too so now I just eat when I think I should (morning, after workout etc) and he's right, either you are going to find 1 steak isn't enough or half a steak or some eggs or something are a chore to get down because you just don't have the appetite and that is when I stop. Fascinating nutrition really, so much better than wanting to eat my whole pantry multiple times a day.

So, what I do I have a bunch of butter in my little coffee ( yeah, I still have some) and it works perfect. Gives me a lot of energy, but doesn’t load my belly. Eating at noon and at 6pm is perfect for me, unless I’m not hungry for dinner… Then I just drink big mug of my own made bison bone broth and that is that 😜😜

[@leonidastsouris2557]

I was the same but now pre gym I have a grass fed beef broth with some butter instead coffee after breakfast at about 1 or 2 pm

[@glaze1106]

I'm just hearing about this - so you put melted butter in your (black) coffee? if I have that correct, how much? a tablespoon? more?

[@jolantagoetter6224]

@@glaze1106 , yes I do. About two tablespoons of good grass fed butter from Costco ( imported from New Zealand ) I use only one cup of Keurig/Kirkland brand coffee, but run it through twice. It tastes great and gives me major kick of energy… Used to drink way more then that, 3-4 and used creamer 🙄 My plan is go to decaf next and just go off coffee entirely. I got this idea from Doc Berry and Doc Elizabeth Bright …

I lift, full body 3 days a week & run 4 times a week. I do keep fruit & raw honey in my diet but I've really started to even whittle that down, say I run straight after lifting I'll take a take spoon of honey. Maybe again with some fruit when I sit down to eat then that's it

you don't need to eat right after a workout. The hour window is a myth! I eat 3 hours after a workout to get the benefits of MTOR activation and eat every 4 hours apart.

I just eat when I’m hungry. I try to keep it simple because then it’s sustainable. If I feel forced to eat straight after a workout it will become a chore and I’m less likely to stick to it

Amazing the dramatic change in your face over the years when you see that ad for the carnivore bar at 8mins. It's really filled out and seems your jaw line has widened. You almost looked vegan back then. ;)

[@HisGateIsNarrow1021]

I've been following you now for not quite 2 months. I've been mostly carnivore my entire life. Never did care for fruits and vegetables with many warnings over and over again about my dietary choice. I lost weight before in my late mid 40's but I was drinking like 4 to 6 l of ice water a day and just eating regularly, with body weight workouts only. With that said, I haven't lost any weight as of yet this time and it's about a decade from those original results. I've was a heavy Pepsi addict for the past 40 years. For now I think I'm just going through some body recomposition?! I'm not worried about the weight loss so much for now, I know that I will come. What I am worried about a health issue that may or may not be not be a result of the diet itself?! After about a month month-and-a-half I started breaking out in hives and itchy all over my limbs and torso I saw a video you did on oxalates, however, I don't believe that's what this is?! I have a doctors appointment next week but I don't know as if that's going to shed any light on the situation?! Any ideas!?

The burping thing is common during ketosis. When I was doing my 51 day water fast, I was burping often and a lot. From what I understand, when you lose weight fat is breathed out as carbon dioxide. So if this is the case, then I can assume burping can actually be a good thing if weight loss is the goal

[@Debbie-rp1pi]

💯 fat is broken down into water and carbon dioxide so you also urinate it out. 😊

[@southern842]

Evolevolutionarily, we evolved on lean wild game meat. Just like the agricultural revolution brought about unnatural grains it also brought about a change to unnatural meats from domesticated animals that have a much higher fat content. If I only eat wild game meats how do you maintain enough fat to stay healthy when carnivore appears to have too much of a reliance on fatty domesticated meats?

[@Audifan8595]

We evolved on fatty megafauna. Our brains shrank when the megafauna declined and went extinct and humans were forced to hunt leaner animals.

[@southern842]

@Audifan8595 Bison, bear and elephant are comparatively low in fat. Is there any proof showing extinct megafaun to not be lean meat as well?

@@southern842 archaeological evidence suggests woolly mammoths were hunted regularly by humans and had thick layers of subcutaneous fat as well as a camel-like hump that is believed to have been for fat storage. can't post links in comments but you can look up the paper, "The Fat from Frozen Mammals Reveals Sources of Essential Fatty Acids Suitable for Palaeolithic and Neolithic Humans"

Isn't it also true though that you need a calorie surplus to create muscle if you're lean and that can be difficult on something as satiating as meat and fat, so carbs can be used to supplement for extra calories?

I believe there have been studies that have shown your regular person increases muscle mass by simply increasing protein intake, so perhaps the average person doesn’t get enough protein.

Very interesting! I’ve accumulated excess weight (50 lbs) in the last few years so am now on a high-protein, low-calorie diet, and the fat is just melting away (5 lbs a week). I eat about 1½ lbs of ground beef a day (5% fat content) which is very enjoyable, but I hear reference to those on carnivore eating fatty beef instead? I’ll have lost my excess weight soon and could go into ‘maintenance’ rather than ‘loss’ mode, but my understanding of fatty beef etc, was that the fat was where Omega 6 is stored, most commercial beef being corn-fed etc. What is the advantage of eating fatty beef, and won’t I dose up on Omega 6 as a result?
