Carnivore Diet: Full Guide To Dairy

[@TheUntypicalGerman]

I digest dairy perfectly fine and I find it's a perfect "snack" to get over carb cravings .. a glass of milk in the evening fills me enough to not crave any chocolate or so, The carbs in milk are also quite low, 47 carbs in 1 litre of milk, so nothing that bothers me at all. Milk tastes fantastic and makes me feel great! I love milk and see no reason to stop drinking it.

[@timday2161]

Great video Max. I can relate to having to use dairy to keep my weight up on carnivore, being 5'10" and only 145lbs naturally with a tiny appetite, I would suffer in the winter months being so thin. I can only manage two half pound steaks a day before complete satiety, but by adding butter and a smoothie of yoghurt and egg yolks I now carry a very welcomed extra 7lbs and life is definitely better

[@stanleymcintyre8100]

Raw milk I had as a child as my grandparents were dairy farmers. In Canada raw milk is not lawful. I would so love to have raw milk. I am a year and a half on my carnivore lifestyle journey. I don't drink milk very often and I was a daily milk drinker with almost all my meals. I use pasteurized heavy cream in my coffee which I have not restricted, I have a fair amount of cheese. My why for carnivore lifestyle was for mental health issues which has improved greatly. My side effect is weight loss, off all meds for bp, atrial fib, blood thinners, depression. 256lbs now steady at 180 6'2". Was a 68 year old fat depressed old man Now a 69 year young man. I enjoy your videos and I agree with your facts on dairy.

[@KevinAmatt]

Raw milk last a long time than you think. After a while it tastes sour because it’s turning into Kefir. Then it turns into yogurt. Then turns into cheese. So it lasts longer than pasteurised milk.

[@alister_kroulenko]

kefir and yogurt are made with different cultures of microorganisms, also both usually made from pasterized milk and cultures added later

[@HickoryDickory86]

Original and traditional kefir were/are made from raw milk (horse milk, to be exact). The kefir grains (like a scoby but more granular) develop naturally in raw milk if it's left to sit too long, and can then be used as a starter for subsequent batches. They can also be used with pasteurized milk, but it will take them time to acclimate to the nature of pasteurized milk. Same thing if switching back from pasteurized to raw. The grains need time to adjust, because the milk is qualitiatively different after pasteurization.

Great research Max! Very informative. Cheers.

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

I felt awesome with cheeses and double cream, clotted cream, raw milk... but it stalled out fat loss and made me gain. I had to cut it out - yet still maintain high fat because I'm carnivore for my lifelong epilepsy, so plenty of fatty meat and eggs and beef fat. So, if I can get to my ideal weight to height, I may add dairy back. Just a little though. It's powerful stuff!!

I wonder if it's a female issue or goes by bodyfat percentage as it seems common for woman to struggle with dairy...I eat it everyday and still can't gain weight 😂

I was away on holiday recently. The day after my home arrival, I went to have some coffee and did not have any cream. So, I took a dive and added some butter. What a difference. Butter is, after all, made from cream, so why not? Has a mild sweetness and nutrients. 😄 (December 10, 2024)

Another point that wasn't mentioned is - some people that still produce lactase after childhood, also very likely have genes that downregulate calcium absorption. This in turn, makes a requirement for dairy in the diet, because otherwise you won't absorb enough. I am one these people and find that high calcium low sodium works best for me. My children are the same, without dairy, or calcium supplements, they have loose stools and other health issues.

Goat and sheep fermented dairy is what my body handles best. Meat is hard for me to digest even with the acid, ox bile and enzymes. Don't know if I can call myself carnivore but I eat only animal protein. Yes I am gaining rather than losing weight. Trying to control the quantity is the best I can do... Sweets don't attract me but salty feta cheese I can eat non stop. Yes, addictive!

Happily I seem to be able to tolerate dairy, even pasteurised milk, and I have a slice of sharp cheddar on my ground beef pattie at breakfast. I'm also a big fan of blue cheese, and my body fat is generally stable at 12%. Same weight now, on carnivore, as when I was at university almost fifty years ago.

[@slowfinger2]

Nice one Max. My observation on sugar in coffee. I am just hitting the 6 yr mark, and sometimes do that 1/4 tsp. of sugar in coffee. It is addictive, and I'll do that for a couple of days. However my back teeth will start to hurt by then and I stop. Somewhere I read that the micro-tubule pores in teeth usually flow out, but with sugar they suck in, taking up the sugar. Might be a fun investigation to see if that's true.

[@zorabw8948]

Thanks for reminding me that dairy is not always good. When I was eating cheese every day on carnivore, I never lost weight. Then I gave up cheese, and finally the weight is beginning to drop, and people notice it.

[@AndrewBuckleBookReviews]

I like to include diary but I realise it has a few issues (as mentioned in this video). Diary does add some variety. Not particularly looking to carnivore to lose weight. I doubt if I will ever completely cutout diary

[@toscadonna]

Dairy is a full meal, and if you are fat, and consume meat with dairy, you will probably be too anabolic to lose weight. I’m that way. I have to consider the dairy as a meal, because I’m just naturally an easy gainer. But many people get very thin only eating meat, so maybe some raw dairy will help? Also, raw milk has made my teeth much thicker with no cavities. And I struggled my entire life with cavities-even on low carb-without raw dairy. My grandma had no cavities ever in her entire 95 years of life-she grew up on a dairy.

[@kronos77]

Anyons have any comments on drinking low temperature pasteurized milk? Seems to me it makes no difference and that pasteurization, slow or fast, has the same results in killing the good and bad bacteria.

[@liciniooliveira-becas3618]

Same is true for cooking meat, eggs, greens... why does this seems to be only a concern with milk?

[@Wildviking8]

Carnivore 4 + years..eat cheese, yoghurt and double cream everyday..I'm 51..12% bodyfat..workout 3-4 times a week..best shape of my life...dairy is only an issue if you overdo it..but that's the case with anything.

[@masterchiefburgess]

Advising someone not to 'overdo' it, is just as useless as advising them to eat 'everything in moderation'. Moderation depends on each individual. With a lactose AND casein sensitivity, having ANY dairy at all is overdoing it for me. It stops me from losing weight and gives me gastric reflux. So for me, dairy is only an issue if I 'overdo' it, i.e. if I consume any at all.

[@Wildviking8]

​​@@masterchiefburgessmy advice is for those that can tolerate dairy..I presumed that was obvious..but maybe presuming people have common sense is a mistake and should have also pointed out that if you're obese and have poor mental health..its also a different ball game.

Do you have any information on why this happens?

[@Nichomachus]

Great video! Just one remark: if you put raw milk in hot coffee, I think you are pasteurizing the milk. So I don’t see how it makes a difference to put raw or pasteurized milk in your coffee. I even put UHT milk in my cappuccino, I’m frothing the milk anyway.

[@peterwilson1038]

Im on OMAD and carnivore. Great benefits all round. But developed anoying, irregular heartbeat. Added one litre of whole milk per day and totally solved the problem. The milk gave me a massive potassium boost which I obviously needed. Milk is worth drinking for the electrolytes alone let alone all the other nutrients. I actually put on muscle with it, plus its a treat and still les than 50 gr carbs.

[@HickoryDickory86]

Have you considered trying kefir for a while to see if there's a difference? Just plain, whole milk kefir. (Would be even better if you were able to ferment your own using your own using local raw milk and your own kefir grains, but most people simply don't have time for that.)

[@Valoric]

Is non homogenised milk (not raw) any better than regular milk? Called cream on top in Australia.

[@mp7925]

Khm, I agree mostly, but cheese (not milk of course or heavy/sour cream) will make me immediately satiated. It is top food with high protein and fat at the same time content. One of the most satiating. Most hard cheeses have zero carbs or close to. Main and only problem I see with cheese that is very constipating (casomorphins and that).

[@littlepotato2741]

I love dairy. Cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, greek yogurt, butter. And casien protein powder since I eat 2MAD and that helps slow the digestive process down a little so my protein synthesis will have time to actually get to all the protein I eat. I'm not carnivore, but I do eat a low carb diet. I think one of the keys is to understand that much of dairy is very fat heavy and it's easy add too much. We've all seen or experienced the equivalent of having a healthy food with too much sauce on top of it. I actually eat a lot of dairy. Mostly via cilbir (herbed greek yogurt with poached eggs on top and melted butter/herbs poured over top) and possets (dessert made using heavy cream, sugar (I use allulose), flavorings, and acid to denature the casein to cause it to form a soft custard-like consistency when cold.) Butter for cooking. Cheese rarely for some extra flavor. There are two main types of casein in animal dairy: type A1 and type A2. Type a1 was a biological defect that happened in european cows. Type a1 will convert to casomorphin. If you find yourself particular susceptible to that, switch to another animal like goats/sheep/etc or look specifically for A2 dairy products as some herds use non-european cows so they dont' have A1. Most dairy out there will be a mix of A1 and A2 due to cross breeding over a long period of time.

@@YeshuaKingMessiah It's not funny. This is a sign that you have had enough and don't need to eat anymore. Satiety signals when the taste of meat ceases to be pleasant, this is literally the first thing Dr. Chaffee warns about. This doesn't mean you need to add flavor enhancers or dairy products. Food is not entertainment, it's just fuel. Seasonings and herbs are added to enhance the taste to force yourself to eat more than you need.

[@Rocketscientist66]

Hi Max, had stopped dairy for months now (use to eat cream cheese, full fat cheeses and heavy cream in sauces or coffee). Then decided a few weeks ago to try a little sheep yoghurt and OMG I was surprised how my tongue and throat were immediately irritated like someone dragged a rough metal brush across them. Also had stomache upset after. Do you know why I had this reaction? Actually I haven‘t had any yoghurt for several years before that, but saw the product from sheep‘s milk and thought, maybe it‘s worth a try. Sometimes I wonder if our bodies become even more sensitive after going Keto and Carnivore? Pretty sure they do. This can have pros and cons. Have you ever thought about that aspect? Probably taboo in our circles . . . what if we have no access to our fav carni-foods? It could get serious at some point. I personally would rather fast, than eat ANY processed carby ir sugary foods.

Why do you assume all carnivores are looking for the same results? Not everyone is trying to loose weight. In fact I am trying to grow at least ten pounds of muscle per year and I am 57 years old. Before RAW milk I was stuck. 180 lbs was all I could get too because my body was using all my food to turn into carbs through gluconeogenesys. Pasturized milk makes me SICK! But I found a farmer and i drink from the same two cows every week to the tune of 4-5 gallons per week. This has allowed for me to make INSANE gains and maintain my 12% body fat. Grass fed free range cows produce milk that is second only to breast milk as far as nutrition goes. If you are still fat and trying to loose weight then dairy is not for you. But if you are metabolicaly healthy Raw grass fed milk is a powerhouse. Game changer. I wouldn't feed pasturized milk to anything. Its a dead product. Animal carbs vs plant carbs. One is bioavailable packed with vitamins and probiotics. The other provides antinutriants that are just not found in milk. You aint gonna overdose on milk sugars but you surely can over do it eating plant sugars AND for every gram of plant matter you eat you need 3 grams of water to digest it. Milk carbs come packaged in protien,fat and water with tons of electrolytes. Pasteurized milk is garbage.

Cheese will stall weight loss, even if I'm 100% dialed in on a large calorie deficit - I'm talking around 1200 calories daily for a week. Removing it, weight falls off. I imagined once at your goal weight, cheese would be great for maintenance.

[@faithhope-ji9tl]

Pecorino Romano cheese is a great option compared to other cheese, high in Vitamin K2, it is also unpasteurized which is another benefit compared to other cheeses, with an available enzyme that off sets weight gain (chemistry in the stomach) but just eat the recommended serving and do not go beyond that, you will not gain weight on cheese if you are moderate with it, that is one point you could’ve added in there, I am very successful and hit all my goals with cheese you’re talking more about milk, pasteurized milk, so let’s be fair. High fat yogurt Grass fed, is also excellent, just eat recommended amounts on labels as well, you will not gain weight by doing so, if becoming addicted and wanting more after you have eaten, that is a personal weakness a person has and that is something that individuals must work on if they want to consume these foods either you’re lazy in mind and don’t really care about your goals and use cravings as an excuse, challenge yourself go ahead and eat don’t feel restricted by this video have moderate amounts and you will be absolutely fine!

False assumption, that only lactase enzyme can break down lactose sugar. It's also possible with gut microbiome. You don't need any lactase production, if you condition your gut microbiome, which is the case with many populations that have gene mutations which don't allow them to produce lactase.

Calcium is also taking from places it shouldnt be, such as places like arterial plaque. Yes this seems to happen and i can imagine your body would start in places like this before your bones. The human body is highly intelligent. So while i agree calcium will be taken from bones, it will start in more important places first. Also your bones are 80-85% protein. So calcium plays such a tiny role that you are better off not worrying about it. I only get my calcium from small amount of raw milk kefir

I make my own 24 hr cultured kefir too but can’t find raw milk, let alone goat milk which solve many of CAFO milk’s problems, even w/o being pastured. It’s so frustrating I DO worry about calcium bone loss as I’m menopausal and don’t want to stand up some day and break a few discs in my spine!

[@kyles5513]

I eat cheese and yogurt every day and don't have any problem with it. Some people can do it, some people can't.

[@scotts.2887]

Thanks, Max. I always enjoy your videos. My first month on carnivore I was using cream and stevia in my morning coffee. When I quit coffee (and the stevia and cream), I lost more weight. I'm nine months into carnivore and feel great, my clothing is much looser, but I am disappointed that I'm not losing more weight now. I still have quite a bit to lose, but have been stalled for almost two months. I don't cheat on the program, I eat one meal every evening and have even cut back portion size. I will stick to the program for the other benefits I've achieved, but don't know what to do at this point to continue the weight loss.

[@jewel2274]

@scotts.2887 Have you ever heard of or tried dry fasting? It might be the thing that breaks your plateau. It’s no food, no water. It uses the metabolized clean water already in your body and incinerates fat 3-4x faster than water fasting and cleans up folded proteins and junk in your system to knock out more inflammation. It could be just the thing to kickstart you into more weight loss.

[@slowfinger2]

Hi. Depending on the state of health at the time one begins carnivore, weight loss could be secondary to the body doing the major healing first. Many people experience a stall, and then suddenly the pounds drop off. A year isn't that long, and you're almost there. Hang in there, don't worry, and have faith in the outcomes you desire. 80% of health is in our heads, meaning beliefs, attitudes, and expectations. Also, taking the initiative, and using your will to do do something to help yourself. Sounds to me that you're on top of all that, and winning. Job's a good'un!

[@Suzanne-goes-Carnivore]

Try measuring yourself instead of weighing. Your body could still be in a healing mode

[@max.german]

Thank you. I have a video coming out in the next week or two regarding all the best carnivore fat loss strategies.

lost 5.5 stone (34.5kg / 77lb) in 10 months eating carnivore + dairy.

[@Wildviking8]

Dairy isnt addictive at all..NOTHING IS ADDICTIVE,..what makes something addictive is our mental health...hence why some can moderate and others can't and the sugar spike from cheese and yoghurt isnt worth mentioning...i really wish people wouldn't over exaggerate the dairy thing.

[@arth8265]

Why carnivores drink coffee? It's literally water from boiled seeds.

[@StopSignals]

And they also drive a car, although they could just run on their magnificent leg muscles, because they are carnivores, which means they are fast and strong.

[@arth8265]

@@StopSignals So, they only eat the same way (supposedly) as cavemen, while every other aspect of their lifestyle is different. Moreover, I'd argue that modern farmed meat is not the same as meat of wild animals from cavemen times. It's being bred for certain characteristics, like high saturated fat content. The only meat which is remotely close to cavemen times is wild fish.

I use Dairy when I want my body to resemble a 🐮 COW

[@richardparis8738]

Absolutely right

[@DrOlegKulikov]

Nonsense. I am 67 and live on milk and yogurt with liver pate and minced meat prepared according to the Sous Vide technique. Lactose is beneficial for all humans. Some people are allergic to casein in cow milk but fermentation alleviates the symptoms. Also, in this case, whey protein has to be supplemented in doses of 30g or more per day. When young people, who have no or very limited experience of working in science and have no idea what it is to get older, try to provide advice to the elderly, their goal is not longevity but own profits. Follow their advice if you cannot think critically yourself. BTW, the strict carnivore diet is shortening the lifespan. Large carnivores live much shorter lives than ruminants they are praying on. And it is so also for Maasai people who are on the strict carnivore diet but live only to 55-60 years of age.

[@Wildviking8]

Thats a very interesting point..can you expand on it please, I also consume dairy everyday and have no issues....so what max and Co are saying doesn't add up ?

[@DrOlegKulikov]

@Wildviking8 sure, I have more than 500 videos on my KZbin channel. Not all of them are available to public. Yet, it is more than 300 for public access. You can find more information on dairy products and the best diet for longevity.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

I’m close to ur age and Max is not saying anything crazy Ad hominem attacks went out with the Romans I see longevity with carnivore diet, adding years to very sick ppl’s lives. Incl older ppl who would have died & older ppl who who have been carnivores for decades. Are u vegan?

[@DrOlegKulikov]

@YeshuaKingMessiah I am following a modified carnivore diet with no fruits, veggies, sugar, seeds, grains, vegetable oils. Yet lactose in milk and glycogen in liver are okey. It's good to be a tiger or lion - strong and good looking. But all large carnivores live about 3 times shorter than ruminants of compatible size. Why? And what should people do to extend their longevity 10-20 times? I explain it all on my KZbin channel. It's not easy but affordable for anyone.

[@jdrobison1967]

Can you point me to the science that shows the benefits of lactose for adults? Specifically, benefits that are found in lactose but not in beef.

[@CarnivoreDan]

It's literally bovine growth liquid. If you want to grow? Then sure. I do put a slice of cheese on my eggs or burger occasionally without trouble.

You explained exactly what happened I put some Vermont white sharp cheddar and my two hamburger patties last night and thought I'd be fine and I got up later and I went back to eat just a couple of bite more of cheese and then I had a bowl full of crocked chuck roast hoping that I would wake up today without a distended stomach. And guess what? Everything you said was exactly correct all those questions well, you've lost a few pounds. You only have 10 pounds to go. You deserve to do this blah blah blah. You hit it.

Not surprising. Ice Cream, Chocolate, Cappuccino, Latte, I think all the BEST things in terms of pleasure are having milk, same as with cheese in burgers, they have to have it, and I was always addicted to carbs but also loved cheese, milk, yogurt anything with dairy. I was doing better during a certain week, and I was just recently thinking about it, and the difference was that I was not having cheese as I always have, or any dairy. Now it makes more sense.

Your osteoporosis theory really shows that you don't understand how physiology of human body works. There's no link between consumption of dairy/calcium and prevention of osteoporosis. The only link is found between consumption of protein, vitamin D and magnesium (which by the way, magnesium is in antagonistic relationship with calcium, and that means too much calcium can increase its deficiency, leading to symptoms of osteoporosis). And there are epidemiological studies which prove that society with high dairy/calcium intake developed higher rate of osteoporosis, probably because of calcium/magnesium antagonism.

[@CaptainSteve777]

Good review. I agree.

[@waldenmathews8059]

Logical fallacies abound. Cows milk is "not designed for us." Okay. First off, you presume a designer in the food chain space. Same one for all religions? Maybe only thr carnivore religion. Slippery slope at best. Or maybe you just meant that the momma cow had someone in mind and it wasn't a human. So what's an ideal carnivore food that was "designed" for us, Max? Ribeye? Pork belly? Poultry eggs? Butter? Think a little bit here and you realize what a weak argument this is. What would it mean to "protect against allergy?" Something which, in the presence of an allergen, blocks the body's allergic response? How many logic flaws can the reader find in this claim?
