Carnivore Diet: The Good, The Bad, and the Meaty

[@LauraSpath]

We GENUINELY had a hard time coming up with negatives. In the spirit of openness what negatives to the Carnivore Diet have you experienced?

[@daisymay4455]

I enjoy this video. I appreciate how honest and real you both are. God bless you guys.

Laura Spath, Not being able to afford the meat on a limited budget ! I really would like to go Carnivore diet 100% but my budget is not enough to make the changes but I have tried it and enjoy it ! Thanks, Laura and Chris Spath ! "

I have had some crazy breakouts and aches since going beef water and black coffee. I did some research and seems that I am having some oxalate dumping. I’ve adjusted some things and am pushing through but man I look like a pubescent teenager 🤦‍♀️

[@guflportgyrl]

I started carnivore and on my third day I woke up at 4am sick and throwing up. I don't know if it was specifically from carnivore though. I really think I may have gotten a bad steak that possibly was left out of the fridge at the store or something. It was grass-fed and both my husband and I ate a steak out of the same pack and he didn't get sick but I kept telling him my steak tasted kind of weird compared to the day before. It may have been a total coincidence...maybe I caught a 24hr bug or something. I'm back on it and am very excited about where this will go. I just hit 1 year of keto on Feb 12th and then started carnivore the next day. I've lost 85lb and can't wait to get to my goal...I still have about 60-70 lbs to go.😊

[@terrykroll9263]

Penelope 6 Awww, hope the rough start clears up soon!! I think it’s really worth it to hang in there tho!! 🙂

[@elleh3495]

there is literally no food waste at our house anymore. I eat every single thing i buy. Before there was alot of dry bread and moldy forgotten produce and half used boxes of pasta and rice etc everywhere in the cupboards. pretty much cook alot every 2-3 days and just warm it up. so wayyyy less dirty dishes also!

[@johnbailey520]

Great point. The money spent on all that produce and other ingredients to cook it. Much of it got tossed out!

[@elleh3495]

John Bailey I always bought organic. So the non meat items cost more than the meat. Its been very very good on the budget going carnivore. I'm also wayyyyy less hungry and only eat 2 meals a day, sometimes just 1--because I just dont get hungry anymore. More money for savings!!!

[@johnbailey520]

@@elleh3495 yes, intermittent fasting, lately rolling 48s.. For one meal buy the best and still spend less. And even the old meat, high meat, I can eat!

Great video. Don't change just love this way of eating !!!? I've been carnivore for 2 yrs. Lost weight and have never felt better in my life. And you're right NO FARTS !!! It's great, but kinda wierd ! ha ha. I also feel great with only 5 hrs of sleep sometimes. I guess I have NO negatives about this way of eating. It's so great. I walk 2;to 4 miles a day. Lots of energy. I'll eat this way forever !!!! GO MEAT !!!!

[@MarmaladeINFP]

My main negative is that strict carnivore has made me aware of the numerous problems of plant foods and plant-based supplements. I'll add something back in and after a while I'll regret it. I did that with beet powder for nitric oxide production, but it's high in oxalates and I could feel it in my joints. I've finally become convinced that I need to remain strict.

[@OldesouthFarm]

You all are awesome! The skin tags are really something Drs never address as insulin resistance issues.

[@jetmcmasterson9895]

Needed this! I’m 3 days in and my cravings are wild. I work nights, so I’m eating at 2pm, then fasting the rest of the day. You guys give me hope.

[@jaelonquixote]

One of the hardest things for me with carnivore is staying with it consistently due to carb cravings. Two things that have helped me is prolonged fasting and watching a lot of carnivore videos. The former helps with the cravings and the latter helps with the motivating when mired in the negativity that can surround you. Thanks for your great content, Laura and Chris!

First, a very nice couple, you look in sync with each other & have respect, love and openness. I like the tip not to tell anyone you are on Carnivore until you see a lot of results on this lifestyle.

What sauces can you eat on carnivore like: mayo, mustard, hot sauce, vinegar or do we eliminate all those too in order to reap the benefits of carnivore??

I love that y’all did this! Thank you. I’ve been keeping both a food log and a mood/symptom-whatever/brain-dump journal during my experience of my carnivore diet. It helps me stay focused on why I’m doing this, and track (if any) progress. There’s been so many micro/macro successes with this experiment!! I’m on only day-9, and I can already see multiple benefits being revealed in this WOE for me!!

Laura... THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video! You and your husband look so amazing and it is inspiring for me to see the change in both of you on the carnivore protocol... I have been trying and failing to keep to carnivore since October of 2018... My food addiction has kept winning, but I keep on trying and I think I am getting better... I really want to see the change in my own body that the two of you have seen. I was doing one meal a day... only one rib-eye steak per day for a month but saw no weight loss so it was very disheartening since I am as obese as you were in your "before" photo. Maybe it is because of my age... nearly 75 now and my dwarfism... ????? I have so many of the same health concerns... pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, skin tags, hair loss, obesity, joint pain, no energy... Little by little I am gaining more energy though... My biggest downfall is that after a day of carnivore I break down and have some frozen mixed berries... that is enough to keep me from succeeding.

[@terrykroll9263]

Thank you Laura and Chris!!! The positive health benefits that the two of you have experienced since starting this way of eating is just amazing - maybe miraculous. I have recently started to eat carnivore and I am having the hardest time - my weight loss seems to be stalled (no change in the last two weeks; although I was a little under-the-weather last week). Still, I’m a little discouraged after hearing the amazing success others are having. I need to lose about 35 more pounds. I started in January, and I’ve lost about 10 - 11 pounds since then. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much for all is your videos Laura. They have been so helpful for me!!

[@PandaLAG]

Thank you for what you do Laura ...I love your videos! I appreciate all that you & Chris do! I'm still keto, because I'd like to lose my 20 lbs & meet my goal before switching over. We're definitely meat heavy & I love hearing about your way of eating.

[@traceydavis1580]

I’ve been wondering about this for a while. Keto for the quick weight loss on the scale? Then carnivore for the other health benefits? Or just go carnivore and not step on the scale at all? I want to lose 50 lbs. but also want to go from a size 14 jean to a 6 or so. And would love to not have pain anywhere.

[@RobtJude]

Thank You for taking the time to spread your good experiences. My big question that you answered is on constipation. I have been on an intermittent / Keto / vegie (very little meat) fasting diet for about 2 years and have had great results, lost 45LBs and I am much healthier. However, I have been fighting constipation. My solution, that I hate doing, but I feel that I have no choice is to take 3 Dulcolax every 6th or 7th day. When I take it, I can't leave the house the next day. I am afraid to be away from porcelain. You have convinced me. After I finish the current food in my fridge, I am going to give this a try. Thanks again for sharing.
