Carnivore CURE! But It’s Not What I Expected

Hello everyone!
In todays' video I'm talking all about how the carnivore diet has helped me tackle some health issues that have plagued me for most of my life, despite having a healthy diet of whole foods that are grown locally. Yes, foods bursting with nutrition, and intermittent fasting have only taken me so far. This video looks at the specifics of what was going on with me and how quickly each ailment was cured. FINALLY!
I sincerely hope this helps.
Happy homesteading!

ABOUT Homesteading with PJ!
Hi! I’m PJ, and my family loves the homesteading life! It’s something my wife and I have always wanted to do, but we grew up with ZERO HOMESTEADING EXPERIENCE!!!!! We grew up in beautiful southern California, 15 minutes away from the beach. As amazing as that was, we both dreamed of a life closer to land and animals. After getting married and moving to Utah, our family slowly grew. We had become a family of four living in a townhome with a small backyard filled with potted plants.
In 2019 we dipped our feet into homesteading on 1 ¼ acre lot in Utah. In 18 months we were ready to do this for real. So in 2021 we packed everything up and moved to North Carolina to 12 acres and we love every inch of our homestead!
We raise sheep and have big plans for:
• grass-fed lamb
• meat chickens
• laying chickens
• heritage breed pork
• honey
• vegetable garden
• perennial food forest
• and more
I hope you join us on our journey, subscribe and ring the bell if you haven’t yet.

I've received feedback that the sound effects were too much! They won't be in future videos. Thanks for watching!

[@TheCarnivoreCure]

Congratulations ! I just hit 13 months carnivore and it has changed my life! i started at north of 715lbs i was stuck in the house for over 2 years and i was on home oxygen 24/7. i had congestive heart failure, reactive airway disease, depression, anxiety, lymphedema, and many other issues. ive lost 262lbs so far, i have my mobility back, im off oxygen, and off all meds, my depression and anxiety is completely gone. everything has healed and is either 95% to 100% healed! A literal answer to prayer ! i love hearing people changing their lives with carnivore too. Keep up the great work!

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Wow, thank you so much for sharing. What a unique perspective on carnivore. Keep up the good work. You got this!

[@michaelnienaber8263]

Wow. Your story sounds incredibly similar to Bill Nott's story.

[@TheCarnivoreCure]

@michaelnienaber8263 it is. Bill is why I started a channel, I was about 6 months ahead of him and had already lost over 200lbs so I wanted to make him a video to let him know that carnivore works. And in doing so " limitless lindy" commented on my video to Bill, and she was 800lbs and has lost over 500lbs on carnivore over the last 25 months now, so we now do a Sunday live show on yt called 700 plus lbs and Counting down. And on our second episode of that show we found Michael who was over 700 lbs and has been house bound for over 17 years and he is now 6 months carnivore and has lost over 160lbs now. I love it! Carnivore is freeing people from being prisoners in there bodies and giving them a new life!

I don't even call it a "diet" anymore. It's just a choice, and I choose to eat proper human food. The transformation has been incredible.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

You start seeing what you used to call "food" and what other people call "food" as... something else. Even though I do enjoy the taste of some veggies, and certainly fruit, there are some I will never go back to. Green salads for example... I don't think I'll ever eat another green salad ever.

[@GiliusThunderhead]

@@homesteadingwithPJ That is so true. I experience those thoughts as well.

[@toonybrain]

Agree. It’s not a diet in the common use of the word: a fad that cannot be maintained. Carnivore is a lifestyle, a manner of eating.

[@Dennisko372]

That is probably one of the most accurate ways to say it. For me it was an incredible transformation too! Strength improvements to beating depression, just for eating proper human food instead of plant based... sad it took me 10 years to notice xD

[@GiliusThunderhead]

@@Dennisko372 Yes, the benefits are undeniable in eating meat. Your body absorbs it and utilizes every part of it, rather than just wasting it through digestion. All of your cartilage and joints repair, and your body just works better. It's crazy

[@my2cworth4U]

You present this info well. Realistically. It's a big ask to believe so many problems can be gone in days, weeks, but it's true. I made a list of ailments and almost all of them are gone and I'm only 15 days in. At 77, I decided I was not going to age with the body breaking down, plus extra weight, so I stopped eating and then discovered a new life. I'm so grateful to everyone who has made videos to share their story and knowledge. Thank you. ❤ It's now 65 days and it's been a rollercoaster ride, with so many days I couldn't function, but the benefits are worthwhile. I gave myself 77 days to get it right. Nearly there! 😊 Your right, flexibility is essential, so you don't become a reformed plant eater.😅

[@bpassion4fashion581]

I’m new to the carnivore diet and I just want to say that there is not one video in which people have not expressed how good they feel when it comes to their mental health . That’s great news and brings so much hope !

[@rasczaksroughnecks4027]

Since everyone else is doing it… Started May 5th last year at 306 lbs, joint aches, muscle aches, lethargy, pre-diabeetus, asthma, sleep apnea, total ED(meds stopped working), horrid pain in my left foot lasting 3 days at a time, insomnia, shoulder pain and periodontal disease. Everything here was because of the SAD. My almost 10 month journey has erased almost everything on that list I just gave you all. Sadly, the periodontal disease issue was diagnosed 3 years ago and apparently when my body got healthy it decided the bad teeth had to go. But I don’t get dental plaque any more. My energy is up 300% or more. If I had known about carnivore 10 even 15 years ago, I would have made the changes then. I have gone from a size 44 to a 34 which is amazing to me. And yes, I do check myself out in the mirror all of the time now. I won’t lie to you all, I’m liking what I see in the reflection, no self-homo. I’ve gone from believing I would die before retirement age to feeling like I could go on indefinitely. Bring it on. I’m ready now. Sure it sucks knowing I need to turn down the things I would indulge on in the past,(pizza, spaghetti, fried everything and subs) but one thing that has helped me stay on program for almost 10 months is fellow carnivores who have told their “cheat day” or “fell off the wagon for 4 months” stories. They are all the same. “I put all the weight back on and more…”, “the joint pain returned immediately…”, “I woke up with brain fog the next morning…”, “cramping and diarrhea was instantaneous…”, “the sugar cravings returned and I couldn’t beat them for 4 months…” y’all know the deal. I don’t foresee that I will ever return to the SAD again, I am just too convinced that I found the cheat code to life here. Thank you. Drs. Baker, Berry and Chaffee…

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Oh wow, what a recovery. So happy to hear things are better for you these days.

[@harrymason2558]

Hi, if you don’t mind me asking, what were you suffering with before carnivore diet? I’ve got all sorts of undiagnosed problems and my doctors just don’t care, mainly why I’ve decided to do this carnivore diet, I’m one week in today and not seem much improvement yet and still craving bad food. I’ve had really bad bloating, stabbing pains in my abdomen either side of my belly button, constant constipation, varying stools that are different colours and things as well as other symptoms that seem less connected, like acid reflux, sternum pain, an internal lump just below my sternum that’s very painful and tender to touch ribs. Apologies for the long reply. Very glad you’re feeling better.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Glad to hear it! I didn't. go into it on this video, but I'll more, but I used to have bad SIBO. Was eating loads of raw veggies, nuts, and fruits and it destroyed my gut. Carnivore has certainly brought back a very normal gut!

[@abc-ed1nr]

Weird. I had plantar fasciitis too that was bothering me and it went way down when I did carnivore too.

I went carnivore in November, also. That was after 12 years vegetarian then about 23 years pescatarian. I noticed a difference in just two days! I feel more 'real' now. I no longer feel my usual depression and suicidal ideation lurking in the background. And hardly any farting - Bonus! I feel sort of New All Over.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

I love to hear it! Heartburn was another small thing that eventually went away too. I did Lion (beef + salt + water) for one week of my 100 days, and it was killer. Pretty hard for me. Even though beef is like 70% of my calories, I missed eggs and raw milk! You go!

[@GiliusThunderhead]

If you start getting migraines or keto "flu", stick to it, your body will adapt and the rewards are incredible. Focus on electrolytes. Good luck

Going back to your old way of eating will reintroduce those issues you just cleared up. I've been there lol and they come back quickly. It's not worth going back. Carnivore for life.

[@arthurfonzarelli9828]

100% true. Though I've been able to do what a couple cheat days a month and sustained a perfect weight and healed health issues as well but they will come back

[@silynita]

Yeah. The only way to keep the issues from coming back in my case is to do ketovore ( with dairy and macros like keto with maximum 50g carb from the milk) and when I feel that I need to be strict I do carnivore ( all animal products with no dairy, 0 carb). It might be because I'm still healing my gut issues. But absolutely no plants and carb from plants because it's still causing me issues.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Don't get me wrong. I'm not going back to my old ways by any means. Still carnivore pretty much every day, especially on the weekdays. Steak, eggs, raw milk, and chicken (in that order) make up 98% of my diet these days. But today my kid didn't finish his mango, so I ate a few pieces. No bloating, no issues. True, not carnivore, but a far cry from what I was eating. I may not be carnivore for life. But I could see myself doing this for YEARS.

[@ghost9-9ghost]

​@homesteadingwithPJ so somehow you and everyone else in this "carnivore community" believe that evolution was wrong? Humans and all their ancestors have been omnivores for literally millions of years........if "plants" water so toxic, then no humans would be here........the toxicity would have prevented humans from flourishing..... And yet, every culture around the whole planet have been cultivating hundreds of plants f foods for 20,000 years....... I guess they kept doing it because they enjoyed being poisoned?

[@stephenharris7982]

I had 99% of your condition in the past and a fungal toe nail that wouldn't go away but it did in less than 4 wks as did my other conditions. It's been 3yrs now on carnivore and I am 60 but feal better than I did in my 30s . It can be hard on holidays or going out for a meal but there is ways around that . I might start adding some greens as the one thing I did miss was asparagus and green cabbage and avocado 🥑🥒🥬❤

[@SigrunHT]

You're doing great PJ, the details of your journey are comforting. I'm a 79 year old female and have just discovered the carnivore diet. In my younger days I was conscientious about health I ate what was considered healthy food, watched my calories and worked out with weights alongside my son who was body-building, also did a lot of walking and sprinting. Somewhere along my life path I lost all of that and became obese and unhealthy. I've decided that I need to change to live a healthier, fitter longer life and after watching many videos can see that the carnivore diet is obviously it. The only thing is I've started to become afraid on two fronts. Meat here in Australia is terribly expensive and I'm an age-pensioner. And secondly how to keep eating cheap meat? Literally, I'm afraid that I might not be able to manage it, though I seriously want to do this. Keep talking PJ, I'm using your experience to get through my fears. Thank you for being there.

[@marcschmieder7214]

One thing I’d like to clarify is, using dead lifts for back issues. I’ve had bulging disc issues and lower back pain as a former, and only recently current athlete for the last 20 years. I just started carnivore two weeks ago, but have solved my back pain using specific core exercises and light deadlifts. Deadlifts cannot be emphasized enough. When I first started, I had spasms every morning, and couldn’t even lift 10 pounds off the floor without being very cautious. After hearing an MMA fighter, talk about this approach on Joe Rogan. I decided to give it a try after leaving every other stone unturned besides surgery and stem cells. I didn’t believe him at first, but he said everyone he knew that had back pain was solved by this approach! I gave it a try, starting with dumbbells to kettlebell to eventually using a barbell for LIGHT dead lifts. And I’ve essentially fixed my back !! I haven’t had a single back spasm in almost a year, and I haven’t even thought about my back in most of that time, which is absolutely a miracle. I’ve actually returned to playing full court, competitive basketball, lifting weights, and everything in between. It literally is the key that changed my life. When I started with lighter, weight I didn’t see the major benefits, until I eventually got above 100 pounds with the . Our posterior chains are stronger than we think so this is not really a lot of weight. I typically never go above 185 pounds even though I weigh 200 and have tested my max which seems above 300lbs. I can’t tell you how important this is for people to do and I’ve been to every doctor, tried swimming, yoga and every other approach out there. I’ve been to countless therapists, chiropractors, and back specialists and none of them would even dream of letting me do deadlifts thus keeping me in that state forever. Our medical community has failed us and we need to take care of ourselves but never stop trying. Hopefully this helps somebody.

Okay I HAVE TO SAY THIS.

These last few years though it's really been getting to me and I've tried every single thing in the book to try and finally get rid of this monster. I've been on the fence of trying out the carnivore diet. And to be COMPLETELY HONEST I believe that you sir have motivated me enough to go ahead and finally do it. I believe it could work now. For the stuff you may think shouldn't have been mentioned about the constipation and the hemmoroids. Screw it. Some things just need to be said.

I really appreciated this info today. Needed encouragement to continue with being carnivore. I’m not seeing results, but it’s only been two weeks. I need to commit to at least 90/100 days.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

I agree. Just pick a time period, not a weight goal. That was helpful for me.

Yes! I'm not a doctor of course, so I'm not saying that you *should* keep going. However, I saw massive improvements between day 30 and day 60. I hope you see some great improvements there as well! I will be doing more Carnivore videos. Stay tuned!

@@pamdawson8598 Well done Pam. I think it’s going to be a slow road for me. A friend told me to keep a journal and just note down any little differences you feel or even any worsening of symptoms. That way you can keep an eye on maybe things that might not be working for you. I have my suspicions about eggs and butter for me but we’ll see. Everybody reacts differently so I have to be patient. 🤗

How is it going for you two? Eggs and butter don’t work for me at all. Brainfog comes back, energy goes out of the window. So unfortunately being very strict can be the 5% work that brings the 95% of healing. Wish you all the best Leon

This video was right on time ! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I will be starting carnivore in two days. Thank you again for taking time to make this video.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

YES! Enjoy! Eventually I'll make a video on tips for people who want to start, or need some extra motivation. But a few tips: - Consume some kind of pro-carnivore media every day - Prioritize salt - Honor your circadian rhythm, if you're tired at 8pm, go to sleep - Have your favorite cuts of meats ready to go on the first week. It's hard to get started on anything, but it's easier if you've got a ribeye waiting for you every day 😉

I had the same experience with plantar fasciitis. For me, it occasionally bothers me…but not nearly as much now. I also like your casual approach to carnivore. I’ve only been doing it for a month but can’t imagine never eating other foods again. I’m already tired of beef tenderloin! I want to be strict for about 90 days and then give myself some cheat days occasionally. Great channel and I’m subscribed!

That's what I'm going for! If other people can see that we're not 100% dedicated, ride or die, no departures from carnivore, we'll get more people who are willing to listen... and maybe even... dare I say, try, going Carnivore themselves?!?!

After 5 months on carnivore and 5 months stupidity off my plantar is back. Your right it clears up to manageable after a few weeks. Told I’d need an op to clear the inflammation.

Carnivore is definitely the answer to our prayers and our health issues overall. You when I see eye to eye when it comes to this lifestyle because the majority of what I consume comes from an animal but I do leave flexibility for my fresh fruits for I love them alone with my fruit smoothies and my natural sweeteners like monk fruit, raw unfiltered honey, and pure maple syrup. I have no desire to consume vegetables or anything else besides that because they do nothing good for me. You inspire me to continue the animal based diet full force and I will continue doing it for the rest of my life. Thanks again.😊

Hello from the UK. Thank you for your great videos they have helped me so much. They are also not so long which is also very good it keeps the interest, you get straight to the point..I’m 7 days in to Carnivore. The first 5 days were hell ! Daily bad headaches, tiredness, weakness, leg cramps and difficulty eating so much meat🤢 not able to sleep. Day 7 is much better. Still finding it difficult to eat too much meat but I’m hoping that will come right. You mentioned being able to cook the best steaks. Have you thought about demonstrations of how you cook. I would really like to see that.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

That's a good idea, I'll workshop that and see if I can get some videos around that topic. Thank you! Also, keep going! I promise it gets easier.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Welcome to the channel. 45 pounds is a big deal! Way to go! That's a life-changing amount of weight! And I love your mindset about carnivore too. I try to eat mostly food from my own land when I can. Eating seasonally means eating carnivore (mostly) during the winter. While I may not be strict carnivore my entire life, I'm still pretty much carnivore and happy to realize that one day I may not be. But as for now, feeling great and excited to keep eating eggs and steak!

[@thriftybins]

All the ailments that improved or went away most likely come back if you eat the old ways. The carnivore diet is a great elimination diet and if you re-introduce 1 food at a time, you will find out which foods are causing you issues. Wishing you all the best

first time viewer. I have 4 of the 5 things you mentioned. I am in the headspace right now where I am going out of my way to not buy my old "staple" foods. It is certainly causing me to eat more when I'm grilling. Ideally, thats the right way, but I'm struggling to cut out some of my favorites. If you are telling me that if I really commit to this for that short of a time, I shouldn't not do it right?? Subscribed.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

My experience has taught me that it's best to go all in, deal with the carb cravings for 2 weeks, then go for another 30-60 days, and see how you feel. If you're constantly going in and out of carnivore and mixing in old SAD foods, you'll do more harm than good in the long run. Just my opinion without knowing much about you, or what your old favorites are.

@@homesteadingwithPJ The hard part is definitely going to be not cheating. It's always available, everywhere.

Congratulations this is very insightful. I'm wondering if you are able to tell whether the big part of the change was because of getting rid of vegetables or plain carbohydrates? Thank you

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Before going carnivore I was eating very clean. Very little sweets (like maybe one treat a week), and most of the vegetables I ate was from either my garden or the farmer's market. Also, I kicked wheat out of my life years ago.

[@ShepherdsCreek]

Before I got pregnant with my daughter, I was on a plant based diet and felt incredible! A ton of health issues improved. When I got pregnant with her, I couldn't stomach it anymore. I needed meat. Before I got pregnant this time, I ate a ton of meat. I felt incredible! Solved a lot of health issues again. Now that I'm pregnant, I can barely stomach meat lol I wonder what will stick once I give birth this time.

[@PinkieJoJo]

Same here. I’ve altered my diet through the years to how I felt that time and what I felt I needed. There have been times I couldn’t stomach meat. Right now I can’t stomach vegetables other than lettuce so I’m eating mostly carnivore foods. I don’t think here is one right way for all people all of the time.

[@EugeniaLoli]

We're supposed to be meat eaters in the winter and fast, and eat more raw plant foods (and more fish) in the summer, with some starch in the autumn. It's the alternation that makes the body happy. But instead, people only pick 1 diet and they stick with it for years, but then the body becomes unhappy. That's why you see both keto and vegan people becoming unhealthy after a couple of years on the same diet. It's supposed to be seasonal. That's how we evolved.

[@garygrenier2016]

You may be right. That idea may answer a lot of questions.@@EugeniaLoli

[@haraldsozolins9797]

I completely agree with you. Even if you cut out all processed foods and cook all your own meals, you don't get the same benefits as a carnivore. I've tried a diet where I only buy foods that look like they do in their original form and then cook them, but that doesn't help as much as a carnivorous diet. Lower back pain, that's real, no doctor can really help that, they will fix you up only when you can't get out of bed. Go to your auto mechanic with a car that sometimes gives you weird problems and they'll all tell you, come back when the car stops working and we'll fix it for you. You have a great channel and you noticed Carnivore Video has the most views and subscribers. I would be very interested in seeing how you grow and make your own food as a homestead person and what the actual cost is. As an example, grain for chickens and egg yield. Or your chickens find their own feed.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

That analogy of the auto mechanic is spot-on! That's the modern western medical system for you in a nutshell! Yes, topics like that are certainly on the horizon for this channel. And, a few more carnivore topics will be sprinkled in too.

Congrats on the upcoming lambs! That's such a fun (and a little stressful time). Word of advice, since I had two ewes that were my first ewe moms.
