Carnivore Diet: 47 BEGINNER TIPS For Success

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Hello everyone! I misspoke, pork is red meat! Eat what works for you. Cheers!

[@hvp6218]

Remember the pork commecials that told us it was the "other" white meat?

[@bruceh4833]

​@@hvp6218Remember when they told us pigs had trichinosis or "wire worms" and it was no touch on Leviticus? I guess they sell packets of wire worms from the University in Iowa to help heal IBS and other digestive disorders that modern medicine cannot! Nummy! Wiggle wiggle.

[@auntiedepressant10]

All Great advice! I’d like to add one more piece. I felt like I was force feeding myself beef in the beginning and couldn’t get over the fact that I had come to hate the taste of beef. I used to love beef! I realized that it wasn’t the taste of beef I hated, it was where I was getting the beef. I talked to the manager of the meat department at Kroger and found out that they were buying their beef prepackaged from China. I started buying all my meat from the local butcher shop, and that changed everything. The taste and texture were amazing and every meal became a treat. I then found a regenerative farm in the heart of the poshest neighborhood in Cincinnati. I think you’ll find that the prices are cheaper than your grocery chain store, and the quality of the beef, chicken, and pork. Is a million times better! It’s probably in my head, but when I eat the meat from the regenerative farm, I feel better inside. Good luck to u all on your carnivore journey ❤

I even use Redmond's garlic salt. SO GOOD. I used to drown my burgers in ketchup and now I can't really stand it since it is so sweet. A little variety can help us stay on track.

[@elwood62]

Amazing to see how this has grown. I’ve been carnivore for 7 years and when I started it was pretty much just a fringe movement. Shawn Baker was only posting videos of himself rowing and hadn’t started his company. One tip you kind of touched on that is extremely helpful, especially to people starting out, is having precooked foods ready at all times. If you’re hungry the thought of having to wait a half hour while you cook something can be enough for people to reach for something else. I always had a plate of chicken in the fridge to heat up at a moments notice. Anyway, good luck. After a certain length of time the other stuff doesn’t even look like food anymore.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Great tip! I was hungry before my mid-day "first meal" today, and I had some cold chicken in the fridge. A life saver!

[@my2cworth4U]

That is so true, I was at a club yesterday and watching what other people were eating and it was like watching a strange movie. Their food wasn't real food, it looked like a concoction of stuff, but not good food.

I am only on my third day. I cooked a lot of meat, and then I refrigerate it and warm up a little bit at a time when I am hungry. My daughter asked me why I was cooking tons of hamburger patties. 😂

[@rorojones59]

They had cake at an event I went to. I took a piece and pretended to eat it. Then I snuck it in the trash when no one was looking. I did that because when I tell people that I am not eating sweets, etc., they seem to pressure me more to eat it. Not ready to explain yet that I am eating carnivore. I will let them know when they see results and start asking what I am doing.

Carnicore for 22 days so far. Went out with my husband and kids to a tearoom. They had hot chocolate and scones, I had coffee and ate the little butter and the clotted cream😂. I was really proud and astonished at the fact that I felt zero craving for their "treats". They looked beautiful but the idea of biting into them was weirdly off-putting. I am a real sugar addict so this is a very welcome new feeling. I'm eating untill I'm pleasantly full and then i can go for hours forgetting about food. The weight is coming off ever so slowly, but it is coming off. Never felt better. Night anxiety, gone. I can think more clearly. Love this

Been doing carnivore for a good while now. One tip from me...get a really good, big airfryer. I got sick to death of cleaning up the stove top after every steak, lamb chop etc. Now, I just airfry it. People scoff, but honestly it is so much easier and comes out just as good in my opinion.

FYI - I have a top rate Cosori but it's Teflon coated. I'm going to stick with it until I see one chip, but a nice stainless steel would be ideal.

[@mikewood3203]

@@scottwiggans6292 A calorie is a calorie is a calorie. Food is energy and the body doesn't really care or understand different types of food, it understands the small units food breakdown into. Try it and if it doesn't work, stop. I am going to guess the issues your trying to fix have more to do with training than diet. 6x per week and a marathon a month is a bit intense on the human body.

[@JohnJJay]

@RebekkaHay Worded as such yours isn't, to the point that even your intentions are dubious? He never said let's all deny that. But it is true both that we are conditioned to (over-)eat just for pleasure and entertainment, and that we are here trying to eat healtier, which for some is so difficult that switching pov/mantra is indeed of help. Clearly, sensual experiences can be found well within a carnivore menu. Beside that, elsewhere.

"You'll have a lot of friends in your lifetime but you only have one body" that hit home

[@DebraRN1195]

I would recommend weaning yourself off of carbs over at least a 30 day period. I eat relatively low carb for several years before I went lower carb and then keto and now I’m almost carnivore. So it was a very very slow process. I never got any kind of “keto flu“. I’ve been eating no more than 20 g of carbs a day for five years and usually less than 10 for the last year and I love it. I feel amazing , I’m never hungry , and cooking couldn’t be easier.

[@jpadkins1988]

If you don’t have electrolytes, just drink straight salt water. It’s yucky, but it works like a charm that first week or two if you suddenly feel like a rag doll. All of the advice in this video is very good. Also they say if you have a craving, eat some fat, like maybe a bite of butter. I also used pork rinds the first two weeks for when I had a craving for crunch. (That is an issue I had with my food addiction-wanting to crunch). And watch tons of inspirational carnivore videos!! My first one was Ferrigno Freedom. His journey of what happened over three years convinced me.

[@beatweezl]

I make my own electrolyte drink with 1/2tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4tsp sea salt. Your supposed to add sugar for glucose but I suppose you can leave that off with this diet. I think the baking soda and sea slat helps with the minerals rather than just plain salt.

Because of the prednisone and the way it leaches calcium, I eat a lot of cheese. Raw milk cheese wherever possible. I have not found any issue with constipation and I’m grateful as it was an issue before going carnivore. I definitely need to sleep a lot. So far I have also noticed: - brain fog is gone. - skin is far clearer and my little plaques/rashes are almost gone. - I have developed an aversion to anything sweet tasting and I no longer obsess about food/eating/hunger. - I generally sleep extraordinarily well. - Even with the prednisone and cheese, I am losing body fat.

TOTALLY AGREE! I am about 6-7 weeks into this attempt and it has been a game changer. I guess I finally realized how much stress and false good and false bad emotion it was causing.

It is fun to notice that clothes are getting loose but ultimately the feeling good both mentally and physically is what it’s all about and I don’t have to wait a year for that. I got it within the first couple of days and want it to continue. i’m quite certain that I will intentionally weigh myself at some point or accidentally see like a doctors office or something, but I presently have no plans to look anytime soon.

[@ambertraety1980]

Interesting what you said about being tired in the beginning. I find it impossible to fall asleep on carnivore. But I can manage off 4 hours of sleep on carnivore.

[@maritaberndt6200]

I'm still tired a lot after 2 months..

[@CalmCowBell]

I too slept just 4-5 hours for the first six months. Now I have seven hours of the deepest most restful sleep. I eat 1-2 tablespoons of butter before bed. Sometimes I melt butter in hot water to sip in the evening. The fat levels out blood sugar so you sleep longer.

[@ambertraety1980]

Thanks for the suggestion. I may try that!

[@BornAgainCarnivore]

​@maritaberndt6200 I don't know why you personally are still tired after a couple months, but for me I found I wasn't getting enough electrolytes daily. I started to feel better more often when I uped the amount of electrolytes. I buy and take electrolytes in pill form, so the rest of the day I just salt my food to my liking. For my budget LMNT was too expensive for me. So stay hydrated throughtout the day and up your electrolytes daily, hopefully that is all it is for you.

[@bonnieturner1959]

@@maritaberndt6200 been carnivore for several months, it can take a few months to get your body healed so that the tiredness isn't there anymore, hang in there! It's worth it! (when you need to rest, don't feel guilty, do it)

I’ve been doing strict carnivore for six or seven weeks and I gained 9 pounds and I was trying to lose 30 so I’m not happy with that. I dropped all cream and cheese about a week ago and the scale dropped a couple pounds. my health conditions have improved a lot. one and a half blood pressure medication has been deleted and another urine medication I had stopped, my sleep is improving and my muscles are far more defined. My body weight is much higher than when I started and I wanted to lose 30 pounds when I started. And my clothes are a bit tighter and I can see in the mirror and my body is bigger. I will continue and see if in three or four months if my body becomes leaner. I’d like to have a BMI of 20.

I cruise in 80 days! I’ve had such success on Carnivore that I have no idea why I stopped. Starting again today!😊

Awesome video! My wife and I are 1 week on carnivore coming from Whole30. Lots of helpful tips for us both. Subscribed !

[@carnivoremom]

I really appreciate how you gave tips on starting the carnivore diet. This diet is very hard in the beginning. This is the first video that I've seen that validated that, so thank you!!

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Thanks! The diet is so hard in the beginning, you're right. It's not so bad now but I remember the beginning! Good luck on your health journey!

[@norwegianblue2764]

Getting ready to start a 30-day trial. I'm pretty desperate, and this was very helpful, and encouraging. Thank you.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Desperation leads to try unconventional things. That's how I found my way here too. Best of luck on your 30-day experiement!

[@RaduP3]

Hello. Can you share an update please? Interested in starting a 60 days experiment myself, very curious how yours went

[@MissMcD]

Yes please update. I'm about to try

[@Wakeywhodat]

Superb. Thank you. I’m starting tomorrow, but I’ve been looking at videos for a few months and this is just what I needed to see tonight.

[@audgester]

This is amazing, thank you. I am on day 2 and doing ok so far. This is a wonderful go-to!

[@1842budd]

I have to say you are the first to truly ‘from what I can tell’ you are for real telling it like it is. Which is a great pleasure. Information I can actually put my teeth in. Other than having someone tell you something that you’re guessing is that exactly true. So thank you for being straight forward. I’m looking forward to following you. Keep up the great videos.

[@MitziHart]

As a Carnivore Newbie, this was most helpful,… The Organic reference was surprising, although very comforting on my limited budget 🙏🏼

[@berenice__music]

Such good advice!! Especially the part of keeping it to yourself until the results speak for themselves.

[@jasoncampbell3318]

Just found this video after watching another carnivore channel ( i follow several ).and i really enjoyed your video. Very well balanced. I have liked and subscribed.

So much excellent information, thank you! I'm just starting out doing carnivore, and I'll be re-watching this plenty times to help re-enforce my knowledge.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Good luck!

[@JCKay]

LITERALLY the best video I have watched in all my years dabbling with keto and Carnivore. You have motivated me to go fully back into carnivore and not just very low carb.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Wow, so cool! Thanks for sharing! These kind of comments make my day!

[@lindadew5888]

You did a great job of encouraging people to hang in there ! I’m about four weeks in and have some struggles but since I’ve managed to get this far I want to keep going till I get to the good part. Wouldn’t want to start over! Thanks for your encouragement and advice !

[@katrinap4447]

Thank you for being practical. No hype. I am day on day 30 and I know I am not perfect. Good info and thanks.

[@Jackgarfoot]

Turned 40 yesterday and starting Carnivore today. Did 40 days before but fell off due to issues that you addressed. Ordered some Magnesium Glycinate as sleep was a big issue. Loved the video and subsribed . I prefer the no nonsense up front approach of your vid. Will be checking out your other vids

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

Thanks so much! Best of luck to you!

[@metaspherz]

I am retired, live on a fixed income, and love the idea of the carnivore diet to lose weight. But eating beef daily is a luxury on my budget. So, I've been eating mostly chicken and pork. I've been eating grass-fed ground beef a couple times a week. So, to eat beef daily, I've had to think outside the box...correction, I've had to think 'inside' the box. A box freezer to be more exact. The freezer I bought was on sale and very reasonably priced. In the past, I've wasted food due to spoilage just sitting in my refrigerator. The freezer has reduced spoilage so eventually, I will break even. I now buy beef and other meats in bulk. The Cryovac chuck roll is currently $5.98 a pound (at 16 - 20 pounds average) at Sam's Club which is about what I've been paying for grass-fed ground beef. So, it's now affordable for me to eat beef daily on my budget. Plus, I get steaks and roasts and grind my own burgers. I just had to learn how to be my own butcher. It's not that difficult with practice.

[@CarnivoreCurator]

Really love your journey and your channel. You've inspired me to start my own diet/lifestyle which will hopefully point more folks in your direction. Wish you nothing but the best of success!

[@devaapurna608]

I looked fine (5'2" 105 lbs) at 87, going carnivore to fight a fungating breast tumor, and one month later looked like a Dachau prisoner at 85 lbs, even though I included raw milk cheese, pasture raised eggs and dairy. Not everyone is fat to start with. The diet and fenben are helping me to heal. I do walking on a rebounder and lift 8 lb hand weights. My grip strength dynamometer shows grip ability is two lbs. less than it was. Just sayin' - we are not all the same.❤

[@devaapurna608]

@@SpeakTruthBeKind I wish. My appetite is always there. Eat grass fed, grass-finished ground beef with egg, white shredded cheddar and home made bacon bits mixed in. Free range baked chicken browned in grass fed beef tallow, red bell peppers stuffed with lactose free cream cheese (Trader Joe's) and raw milk Compte cheese from France (TJ's again). One cup of mushroom coffee a day with a liberal dollop of heavy organic whipping cream..All quite tasty and I have no lack of appetite. Also a couple of cups a day of 50/50 water and organic beef bone broth with two teaspoons of raw ACL. Afraid it's diminishing muscle mass from not enough weight bearing exercise - as muscle weighs 2/3 more per volume weight than fat. Am so resistant, but found and dragged out my five and eight lb. hand weights. Ugh.🙄😬😌🎇

[@Kerrin77JIH]

Eat butter. Grab a stick and take a chunk out. You'll still fight cancer and you'll stop weight loss. I know carnivores who eat sticks of butter every day. Sticks and sticks!!!

[@devaapurna608]

@@Kerrin77JIH This is funny. I mean your perfect timing is! I'm just ending a two day anti-cancer (to spur autophagy) water fast. Was so weak I searched what I could have without breaking the fast - black coffee and BUTTER. Never interested ever in butter (by itself) pre-carnivore, despite its kudos from steak and butter gal. Yesterday and today I had a couple of pats of organic (grass fed source) with a sprinkle of Redmond's salt and wow, SO delicious. It made all the difference and I also added a couple of butter pats to the one cup of coffee I nursed all day. Did not care that the coffee butter was cold flakes at day's end. Thanks for being so tuned in!!!👌👏👍💖

I just found your channel, very down-to-earth and not talking down to us. Spend 30 days on carnivore have lost a little weight but many other things are changing as well which are fantastic. I know I have to give my body at least 90 days to change my metabolism but I truly don't plan on doing anything because I love the carnivore lifestyle and thank you so much for sharing your information I like your videos

Thanks for saying so, appreciate you taking the time to make this comment.

[@honeyfungus4774]

Wow, an actual fun upbeat video about the subject. Amazing, well done.

[@TheFloridaprepper]

Very helpful! I changed my life physically in my late 50's a few years ago going meat-heavy clean KETO with Intermittent fasting and feel amazing. Lost a 100 lbs. Gained some of it back, but it's mostly muscle due to strength training after I lost the weight. I have been cheating a lot the last 6 months and maybe a strict stretch of Carnivore is the way to go. Feel like I can do even better than I already have done. Thanks again for the tips!

[@oldtymer9106]

Except for my being in my early 60s our stories are remarkably similar. I'm returning to keto after a six month break (long story) and slowly transitioning that to a ketovore diet. Keep fighting the good fight.

[@homesteadingwithPJ]

This nice thing about carnivore, is that so long as you're not cheating, short carnivore sprints are great! You sound like you know what you're doing when you're not on carnivore, so a 30-day (or whatever) carnivore sprint could be a helpful reset!

[@bradlloyd6261]

You're a carnivó pimp! Excellent info a lot of same things I have ended discovering. My next step is to start doing with some of these ranches outside of my city in North Cackalacky.

Multiple autoimmune issues including late-onset (insulin dependent) LADA type 1 diabetes 4 years ago at age 60. Have reduced background insulin shots from 20 units a day to 2 units and mealtime insulin units to zero as I’m mainly Ketovore/carnivore. Cheers, Jan 😊

I like how your points are short and to the point! I haven't started the carnivore diet yet; I'm getting all the information before I make the commitment. Why do I want to do the carnivore diet? For my health, and weight loss. My health issues are rooted in my being over weight and my age. Once I decide to start on the diet, I want to stay with with it.
