Carnivore Diet | I ate the exact same meal for 30 days | S02Ep4

Meat is life. So I ate meat for 30 days. 60 pounds to be exact. Pork chops at that. It’s the Carnivore diet. And I’m loving it. But what happened…

Beef is less inflammatory than pork. Maybe better to eat fatty ground beef. And try to cut back on butter, and walk after you eat the meal. These are tricks that I learned. You need to eat RUMINANT animal meat, so beef, lamb .....

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

That’s the plan for February. We’ll see how it affects the results.

You dont need to cook ground beef in butter- it makes its own fat. So you'll save on butter, on your beef days.

Sometimes our bodies will be healing something inside and not drop the weight, but trust it's working. Also, have you looked into high fat carnivore? Personally, I am doing BBBE - Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs. I have a good amount of weight to lose too. Glad I found your channel! Interesting accent you have, where are you from?

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

With just one meal I can’t eat more than 1 stick of butter, plus whatever is in the meat. This month is beef for me. Mostly ground. So we will see if there is a difference. The accent is 10% Long Island, NY and 90% German.

You mean sustainable in an environmental sense or how easy it is to stick to it? To me, carnivore makes my life easier and meal prep is simple. So I’m more likely to continue it.

[@sophiapetros7602]

Good for you. Keep going. Excited to see if there are changes with beef. Also try pork belly instead of the pork meat cuts; that would work better for weight loss and it’s still low priced. Also check the ingredients in your salt 🧂. Make sure it’s just a one ingredient salt. Only salt to taste. No salt in water. Sad to hear you are NOT losing more weight when you are staying strict and really trying. Cortisol and stress also impede weight loss.

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

Pork belly is expensive around here. Takes longer to cook too. Maybe one day when I experiment with other recipes.

@@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk I saw pork belly selling for like $2.79 a pound at the business Costco.

After all, food should be a pleasure ;)

[@Johnman9000]

30 days into carnivore is not enough time to make any concrete declarations about what works best for your body. Your body is still adapting and changing to a natural diet. Most people who switch carnivore see dramatic weight loss at first and most of that is due to All the inflammation going down. When I switch to carnivore I was losing somewhere between 0.6 and 1.2 lb per day. Some days I may see no change. The next day I'm down 3 lb. My diet was primarily beef and eggs but I did eat pork steaks as well. Meat is much more nutrient dense than the pork. Hogs are usually fed all kinds of scrap foods leftovers and they don't get to eat a natural diet themselves. Cows however have a much more complex digestive system. I would not completely write off pork. In fact I would probably alternate between the two every few days. Don't skip eggs they're basically a vitamin. I started carnivore diet on 5-14-2023 And by 12-25-23 I had lost 80 lb.

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

Those are great results. For me February is beef month, so I can see if the impact is greater. Might go for lamb or chicken after that.

[@MarshaMarshaMarsh4]

PS, read the ingredients in your table salt. Many have SUGAR (glucose), as well as fillers and anti-caking agents in them.

You can buy large amounts of meat and cook it, then dehydrate it, that will allow you to have meat without a frig. It makes it super easy to add hot water and have a meat meal ready in a few minutes without having to cook daily. I wish you were close to me here in northern Texas, I'd dehydrate, or freeze dry a month of meat for you.

[@zarroth]

In my case, pork causes inflammation/water retention. Might have something similar going on there. I also ended up not using butter anymore, but that's because my body decided it just didn't want it anymore, not any conscious decision on my part. I also started out very high on the salt intake, then that dropped off to barely any now as well. The body will tell you what it needs once your addictions to carbs is broken. Also, Iodized salt has dextrose in it which is another thing that breaks down into sugar in the body. Funny how many things exist out there that you wouldn't think are related, but turn out to be 100% part of the problem. It's insidious.

[@myvanlife1]

I have one more idea for you, take it or leave it, doesn't matter to me. But in my opinion, it would be more entertaining and engaging if the camera was back further so that you can see what all your doing with the cooking, because who doesn't like to watch cooking food?

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

That’s true. A second camera would come in handy so I can switch back and forth easily. Visual variety matters in a video. Otherwise it’s more like a podcast. Which is fine, but not what I’m trying to do. I have a GoPro somewhere. Got to find it and test it. It’s a great idea.

You will get conflicting information on these topics. My advice is to test things for yourself. If one month you eat a stick of butter a day document (how you feel, weight loss, bathroom experiences), then do a month without the butter and compare. Personally, I think increasing fat intake is for when you are closer to your optimal weight after you have burned through your stored fat reserves.

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

You are right, we need to test this to find the sweet spot. In the end, everything is just a recommended starting point from which we need to work out the details.

[@foldormanup]

If you are extremely active then maybe slightly more protein. What is your lean body mass? You should be eating more than one meal per day.

[@AngiexUFO]

That salt you have may not be ideal because sometimes they put dextrose in salt. I suppose you've heard that before.

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

I heard the claim. It’s not on the label. They certainly add anti caking agents but I’m not sure about dextrose. Iodine is usually added too. Best thing to do would be to grind your own salt, but who is really doing it?

If you're trying to lose fat, I would cut the butter way back or eliminate it altogether. Your body will use the butter instead of burning your own fat reserves.Just use the fat in your meat.

[@paisana9378]

but thats not a carnivore diet which maintains high fat....

[@rawsomeone1]

@paisana9378 I was watching a carnivore vlog one time, and the person was not losing much weight. They thought they should eliminate butter to see what would happen. They started losing weight. It makes sense if you think about it. The body is going to use the easiest fuel it can metabolize first. Just give a try to see what happens. I love butter as well. 🙂

[@rawsomeone1]

@paisana9378 Just had another thought I forgot to mention. Carnivore is a high fat diet. It's a high fat diet when you normalize your weight. You and I are in the same boat as far as the amount of fat is concerned. I am fasting, which will speed up my fat loss. Metabolizing body fat takes a lot more work by the body than using freely available fat in butter. 🧈 You're losing weight, but you could lose more by making your body burn your own fat as much as possible instead of burning butter fat and your fat together. If it's getting enough energy from butter, it's not going to bother burning yours.

It's much easier to intermittent fast on carnivore diet than it is a carbohydrate diet. The reason is because we get really hungry when we don't have nutrition. Meat is nothing but nutrition. Carbohydrates are typically highly processed and void of all nutrition intentionally so that we eat more. That's why people go hangry if they skip a meal while eating carbs.
