CARNIVORE DIET 7 full days WHAT I EAT IN A WEEK 🥓🥩🍗

[@tathimitchell]

Thanks for sharing what you eat as a carnivore. Everything looks so good! Curious to know what your kids eat while you're carnivore. Do you cook regular food for them? Thanks!

[@largefamilymama]

Yes, I cook them good wholesome meals from scratch 😊

[@Sue-r8j]

Really nice to see an English mother on carnivore! And you home school your children. Brilliant.

[@largefamilymama]

Thank you very much! 😁

[@Sue-r8j]

@ I homeschooled my now grown up children, am 100 days on carnivore, did it for IBS and I have the same kitchen cupboards as you 😂.

[@largefamilymama]

So cool that you homeschooled! It’s hard work but so worth it 😁 Has your ibs improved? Sadly my kitchen is falling apart a bit now 🤣 and it’s all a bit mismatched 😬 oh well 😆

[@Sue-r8j]

@ My eldest is now 33 and homeschooling was rarer then in the UK. I am so glad I did it though. My IBS improved straight away. Not eating fibre is the key for me. However, I’m still in the adaptation phase I think and trying to find the right amount of fat that doesn’t cause digestive upset.

[@largefamilymama]

@@Sue-r8j My eldest is 27 and I homeschooled him too, it definitely has become much more common lately. It’s shocking how bad fibre is for us, I’m so glad you’re getting better.

[@JanetMcVicar-t3t]

I do the same thing😊 oh I forgot to mention, I’ve lost5 dress sizes since July 2024! I luv this way of eating. Now I need new clothes😊

[@largefamilymama]

Omg!! 5 dress sizes since July! That’s incredible. You need to treat yourself to a whole new wardrobe. You must feel so good 😁

[@mtnshow1]

Been carnivore since Jan of 2024. I still don't get tired of it. Even though I can't even eat black pepper. The longer you are on it, the more you'll see what works and what doesn't. For instance, aged meats like charcuterie or just plain shrimp causes me to have allergy symptoms like itchy eyes. It's a great way of eating.

[@NAVIOROLtd]

It's a great way of living. It's a lifestyle. And of of course it ultimate eliminating diet, so you can directly see your reactions for sertain foods. An so minimalistic!!! I love it

[@largefamilymama]

I can’t wait to see more improvements, I know I have a long way to go and these are still the early days for me 😁

[@Carnivorecatherine]

I needed more fat to be in ketosis. I had to cut out butter& switch to ghee or browned butter to get rid of the milk fat. Butter was making my blood sugar spike.

[@Carnivorecatherine]

The recipe for pancakes can be made into waffles easily bc you don’t separate the eggs. Same ingredients just whisk all together. I add cream cheese(2 oz) if I’m eating dairy. Sadly, right now I recently cut out all dairy bc of blood sugar issues & dairy/cheese isn’t good for low thyroid so it’s out at least for now😢

[@Carnivorecatherine]

White pepper has low oxalate. You may be able to tolerate it if you want.

[@RV-there-Yet]

SO happy for you to be back at it~ cannot imagine eating any other way now myself. Husband & I have been meat based 9w/coffee0 for about 4 years now, & it's been absolutely life changing, to say the least. Every single aspect of life, our health & wellness, has vastly improved. I eat slightly more fat than my husband, & he eats about twice the protein I do. It's amazing how our bodies begin to tell us exactly what they need, as time goes on. It simply gets better and better. I have always been a heavy researcher, and your statement about it "all being a lie" has been completely true, imho & experience. Knowledge is everything. ~Samantha in AZ

[@largefamilymama]

It’s good to hear that being meat based for that long is working so well for you and your husband 😁 And yes I really wasn’t joking about everything we’re told to believe being a lie. Just when you think there can’t be anything else . . .

[@kebbasda]

Started carnivore on 10/7 Just made 50 and long story short MD told me per my labs last year in October that I needed to eat less red meat and more natures carbs. Well a year later up 12-15 lbs that WILL not move off me but the far is leaving lol After leaving his office with a statin prescription I began to research and study myself over the last year with regard to what I ate and what my labs showed. Y’all I was becoming seriously insulin resistant! Taking command of my life I did an egg fast and slid into carnivore. I’m now trying intermittent protein fasting with reduced calories just too see. God bless you and your family too and thanks for sharing!

[@largefamilymama]

Good for you! I’m glad you did your own research, I wish you the best.

[@thereesfamilyadventures]

I love this so much. I'm forever trying to explain to people around me that fat doesn't make you fat. Not real unprocessed fat anyway. Ooh I'll definitely look at that magnesium. I'm always low but can never find supplements that don't have rubbish in them. That app looks really good! I wish I'd known about that when I was doing keto. Ooh interesting that you were told that you need fibre for IBS. I've been seeing a gastro this year and he actually told me to avoid fibre and drastically reduce fruit and veg intake to help with my gut issues. Those burgers look tasty. I like to make my own too. This is such a useful video!

[@largefamilymama]

It sounds like the gastro you’ve been seeing actually knows something! It seems most doctors just tell you to eat as much fibre as humanly possible 😕 I’m glad you found the video helpful 😊

[@thereesfamilyadventures]

@largefamilymama I was pleasantly surprised with the gastro doc. I was expecting to come away with the eat well guide or something 🙈

[@AuntyJack123]

The proof in the pudding, or toilet 😂. My IBS has improved 100% with this way of eating.

[@IHealLiving]

Epson salt is a good way to get magnesium into the body as well. Try taking a bath with 1 cup in warm - hot water each day in the evening before bed, or in the early morning. The skin absorbs what is needed in smaller amounts, but very effective when deficient.

[@user-JudynKY]

I’m so happy to hear someone debunk the myth about fibre 🙌🏼 Great video. As well as watching Dr Berry, I also take advice from Dr Elizabeth Bright she’s a great advocate of taking iodine. Where do you do your shopping?

[@largefamilymama]

I’ve watched a couple of her videos and I thought she was so good!! I get my iodine from mussels. I buy my meat from the local farm

[@RandomHuTaoSimp]

Fiber is not needed because the same bi product beta hydroxy butyrate you get from fiber fermentation ( short chain fatty acids) or saturated fats for short are produced by ketones which do the same things. If you want to feed your gut microbes from a food source then just have raw dairy. Raw milk kefir or yogurt

Although it's from the same peppercorn white pepper is from the inside of the peppercorn and it is lower in oxalates so people who can't tolerate regular pepper might be able to have a little bit of the flavor with the white pepper and much lower oxalates which is probably what they were reacting to

[@largefamilymama]

That’s great info, thanks, I’ll be using white pepper from now on!

From experience, 7 days isn't long enough. The first 2 weeks is harder as your body adjusts. I got the "keto flu" after 6 days and it lasted two days. I added salt and minerals to my meat and water to get better. Give it 30 days!

Hi, I’ve been watching your videos and wondered what ratios of fat and protein do you work on so I can put into the app thanks 😊

Everybody needs different amounts of protein and fat depending on your goal weight and height. I always try to eat approximately 80% fat, 20% protein and as close to zero carbs as possible.

[@raisingtherodgerson2244]

Oh this has been so useful. I am going to start this tomorrow. I am nervous about giving up my English breakfast tea (with milk) though 🤣

[@largefamilymama]

Glad it was helpful! Actually the odd cup of tea can be helpful in the early days as it prevents you getting severe symptoms of oxalate dumping.

[@nylenyap3933]

Why give up your tea? It’s not going to hurt you if you have it black or with heavy cream, no sugar or with blended butter and mct oil.

[@largefamilymama]

Lots of people on the carnivore diet give up all forms of plant based foods and drinks due to the oxalates.

12:16 I will recommend you to increase the fat coming from cow (trimings and suete) or ghee (clarified butter), rather than: doble cream, butter chesse...they are quite "addictive" in a good sense and can mess up your journey if you are looking to loose wait...if your are in that journey, I don't know.

Oh I can completely relate! I used to be the exact same. I would pick the fat off everything. When I started on this diet I had to reprogram myself 🤣 I just kept telling myself that the fat was so good for me. I would have to cook the fat until it was really crispy. Then sometimes, when eating fat, I would be literally heaving 🤣 I’ve come a long way. I think once you become fat adapted and feel good it naturally starts to get easier to eat fat.

[@IHealLiving]

I feel like lots of people who go on it succeed due to the lack of toxins and synthetic ingredients entering the body. Temporarily it is a good start. However, it doesn’t heal your body long term. The day someone has success in healing cancer on the carnivore diet alone, that day we would consider trying it. Fat is important, but beans for protein and nuts and seeds for fat variety is much healthier long term. Glad to see more and more studies done on this. Sadly yes, there is ever changing and transforming information in the healthy and wellness industry. Remember it is an industry with marketing, and food should give you energy and make you feel good and allow your body to not be sick or have disease.

[@largefamilymama]

For me, I see the carnivore diet as a good elimination diet, it’s almost like fasting but not as extreme. It gives people a chance to find out what foods were making them ill. I hope to heal and then I want to reintroduce some foods and see how I react to them.

[@nataliajimenez1870]

Legumes, nuts and seeds are the babies of plants and they don't want animals to be able to completely digest them, so they have antinutrients that can be very irritating for the gut, particularly for us monogastric animals. Most people do carnivore due to gut issues. The parts of plants that are less irritating are ripe fruits (without the seeds), but people that have metabolic problems have to be careful with eating a large amount of fruits because they have high levels of fructose, particularly the tropical fruits and dried fruits. Those that are metabolically healthy and exercise a lot can be more liberal with fruits

People probably feel better on this diet because it’s so restrictive and eliminates cakes, biscuits, crisps, chocolate etc. It’s no good long term, as bacon has a lot of carcinogens in it. If you just ate broccoli and cabbage everyday, you’d also get the same effect. Weight loss, increased energy etc. Meat, even organic grown “grass fed” still contains high hormone and antibiotic levels. I worked on both farms and trust me, grass fed doesn’t mean toxin free, they are still pumped with vaccines! I think people should know this before jumping into it.

[@largefamilymama]

If you’re talking about nitrates in bacon, it’s not enough to be toxic. We have more nitrates in our saliva and you can buy nitrate-free bacon. The food standards are different from country to country. Organic standards are far higher in the UK than in the US for example. We have to eat, we just have to do the best we can for what suits each and every one of us individually. If you ate nothing but broccoli and cabbage you would be filled with gas, you would feel starving and you would miss out on so many nutrients that are only available in animal products. That’s not to mention the oxalates that are in vegetables . . .

[@lorrainemcdermott]

You need to brush up on your facts a little more. Just saying… no one needs to be eating vegetables. No one needs oxalates or bloating. Carnivore is everything we need as humans. It’s our species specific diet.
