Carnivore Grocery Haul for Beginners: My Weekly Grocery Staples

[@DCN133]

I started carnivore diet a year ago after seeing one of your videos. One year later. 144 lbs down and still going. Your husband’s story has been inspiring to me. I have been trying to use similar guidelines when eating and working out. Thank you for the inspiration.

Congratulations!

Let’s keep it up!

Tuna patties. Can of tuna (in water but drained) 3 large eggs 1/4 cup grated cheese. Pan fried in butter Yummy and for less than 2 bucks you got a meal.

[@sherrigrey8131]

Thanks! 😊👍

[@marlisguess9891]

Thank you. I was wondering about tuna. I had a can last night, just tuna, not great but filling. These patties sound great.👍

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Add couple tbsp butter on the side It’s very lowfat

[@amethystfeathers7324]

Great, thanks for that, started a month ago and I'm bored to tears with meat 😂. Also they'd be really good to take for lunch.

[@Habanero777]

3 large eggs sounds like a lot.If you're using a regular small size can of tuna so i'm going to assume you are using a large can of tuna😮

If you grind up the pork rinds, you can use those in meatloaf instead of breadcrumbs with an egg. Comes out perfect each time.

[@teresadover1622]

Sounds good

[@janicebuell7262]

I found you need to soak the pork rinds in heavy cream, that adds so much moisture, no more dry meatloaf.

@@MzKitKat7 I have transitioned to keto over the month. Grains and wheat were the culprit of ALL my bloat. My only issue with keto is I have daily headaches. I drink electrolytes and eat salt like crazy. Still- headaches:(

[@ronpage101]

Im 3 wks in and have stayed out of restaurants since I started. Went to a steak house tonight and they had fresh hot rolls before dinner. It was brutal! Then the group I was with ordered a bunch of deep fried appetizers. Again, difficult to resist. I stayed the course and ordered rib eye and grilled shrimp. Then desert, again, the cravings were fierce. For now, I'm going to avoid going out, until I adapt better to the carnivore diet. I eat a ton of butter, beef, and eggs, no veggies or fruit. Plus I quit drinking. Hope the cravings subside in the near future.

Kerrygold is worth every penny

[@gabrieledean8225]

Kerrygold unsalted has added milk not just heavy cream. I switched to Truly, delicious!

[@lorensims4846]

One thing I like about Carnivore is that it's so simple. "Eat meat. Drink water." I see you got the red bag of Kroger burger patties. I get the orange bags because they're higher fat. High fat ground beef is generally cheaper than the lean stuff most people are looking for. Bacon and butter are what I find myself always going back for more of. Often the salt in the butter is all the "seasoning" I need. I'll second your warning about cheese. It's easy to eat too much and that can cause problems.

[@karolmolpus9536]

Cheese! Or most dairy 🥛

[@darlenegibson3017]

[@ambearloupoo]

Im sure this is 90% of the comments, but i just started looking into carnivore. I am doing keto and transitioning into carnivore. Thanking God for your channel ❤

[@babacool81]

Could you explain the difference between the two? And also why you are leaning towards carnivore diet? Thank you 🙃

[@Lee-de2wl]

I make Bacon roll ups. Mix together beef mince, egg, salt until the texture firms up, then roll into them into fat short sausage shapes. Wrap each sausage in 1 middle bacon strip,, (the long one) and put onto an oven pan lined with baking paper. Cook in oven until nice and brown and firm to the touch. I haven’t tried cooking in air fryer but it’s worth a try. Delicious.

[@angel0island0ninja]

I am a new carnivore and I started with prime ribeye steaks lol. I knew what I needed to do to not feel like I was depriving myself. A lot of people forget to mention that buying prime steaks or whatever meat and cooking it at home is significantly cheaper than eating out or ordering in. Eating carnivore at home is saving me money, regardless of what quality of meat I buy. I have noticed right away a decrease in appetite, so I have yet to even get through the eggs I initially stocked up on. My only enemies now are the free snacks at work lol

[@JohnDiMartino]

You can’t eat out on carnivore and stick to it,unless you order hard boiled eggs,everything cooked in a commercial kitchen is cooked with cheap oils and cooking sprays irreguardless of asking them to cook in butter chances are they won’t out of habit. You should limit eating out to a rare occasion in order to get the benefits of this eating plan.👍

[@emilybumpus8082]

Carnivore crisp, jerky, and pork skins is a great snack to bring with you to work.

[@saraandshe]

​@@JohnDiMartinoI called several restaurants ahead of time. Told them I couldn't have seed oils (not even a smidge). Many didn't have real butter on hand. However, Outback Steakhouse cooked a nice ribeye in real butter for me AND knocked off a couple bucks because I had zero side dishes. Another local restaurant let me bring my own butter (BYOB, haha) to cook my eggs in. Love them. In a pinch, fast food restaurant that use 100% beef patties sell them around $2/each off the ala carte menu.

[@Siameezkattwo]

Ha I agree work is a landmind, you sure have to go armed with your own food to keep temptation at bay!

[@jau2552]

Stay strong. Don’t let those snacks boss you around.

[@christinajones3022]

Pork rinds can be used as breading for chicken breast or pork chops. I throw them in a bag and roll them with a rolling pin until they are crushed. Dip the chicken or chop in egg and then dip in the pork rinds then fry or bake. SOOOO YUMMY.

I did 90 days of Carnivore last summer. Felt pretty good. This summer I started to go through menopause. So I wondered if Carnivore would help. I started having bad hot flashes and not sleeping through the night- waking up 5-6 times per night. After 6 weeks I noticed my hot flashes were less intense. And other symptoms subsiding. I have had ZERO hot flashes for a week now. Not sure if this will stay and be my new normal- 3 months total of hot flashes. And now nothing. It’s crazy!!! Thank you meat!!!

[@bintnoureddine6553]

Hi ! Did you lose weight during your 90 days of carnivore ?

[@kellikay8015]

Try intermittent fasting. I fast 19 to 20 yours a day and all hot flashes went away for me till I ate, of course.

[@lquirouette1]

I love the way you keep things simple. I love simple, when there are too many steps, and rules I get overwhelmed. Then I quit because when I break a rule I feel like a failure. I appreciate your honesty regarding cheese. Cheese truly is a problem for me. I can relate to eating bricks of cheese. I just started this carnivore journey 11 days ago so I'm still trying to figure it all out. You have made is less stressful and easier for me by giving good but simple advice. Thank you!

Only 1x a day I either have shredded or chunked I have homemade kefir also 1x a day (too lazy to make yogurt & u must culture both 24 hrs to get rid of most the carbs/lactose so store bought doesn’t wk)

[@Habanero777]

I think that's the biggest thing that gets everybody when they start. They're so overwhelmed. They're like. What do I make? How do I make it? And they freak themselves out, just start simple bacon-and-eggs for breakfast for dinner. Either cook a steak or cook up some hamburger patties after the 1st month of acclimating. Then start getting creative, but don't get creative to begin with ill. Just stretch yourself out even more.

[@pamhutzell8268]

I make egg drop soup from bone broth and eggs , not everyday just for a change.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

I do buttered broth with eggs Get broth very hot, simmering Put egg yolks/whole eggs in a widemouth mason jar & stir (use a fork) with s&p, cubed butter and whatever else flavors (I use onion powder & vinegar) Pour a little broth in and stir. Pour some more in and stir. Ur tempering the eggs so they don’t scramble. Keep adding till half the broth is in then add the rest. Now use a stickblender first about 20 seconds and it’s a lovely rich delicious hot drink that’s a meal. Keeps u going hourssss I use 12oz broth 2T butter 2 whole eggs, 2 yolks or even 3 whole eggs & stickblend very thoroughly 1/4t salt, some pepper & onion powder Vinegar (I douse all my food w/vinegar)

Day 3 of this diet. Feeling more energy and even a happy feeling that I can't describe. Yesterday was Day 2, and went shopping for nice steaks, but it was 48. for 3 steaks so I didn't buy them. We live n a rural area without many shopping choices unless we drive far. The store DID have bottom round roasts that looked very fresh and were on sale. I paid only 11. to 14 on 3 whole roasts. My husband sliced the roasts into steaks. They actually grilled up well as steak! I am really excited to see if I can really lose weight eating this way! I turn 55 this year, am a mom of 6 adults, and 9 grandkids. I also work f/t in an office, with a bunch of women that love to bake and bring baked good to work, constant pot-lucks, etc. I was Vegan for 7 years, so it is REALLY surprising to me that I am trying this diet now. I really felt like all of the carbs were killing me. I gained 40 pounds over the last 2, post-menopausal years. I ride my bike every morning before work, so I do get in a great workout. I am feeling more energetic not eating carbs, but only on Day 3, so not sure if it will continue to feel good.

[@renerushing2343]

I just discovered those bottom round roasts at my local WinCo. They are always at a reasonable price, so I bought a few for my freezer. I cook them in my Ninja Foodi-- first sear them in butter, then add a cup of water and cook on the pressure setting for 40 min. You also get a good quantity of fabulous broth, which I sip or freeze.

I love how the media and government (which we all now know are the same) like to say this diet (which we also know is now a lifestyle) is “oh so bad for you”. I’ve only been 2.5 months in and have lost 12 lbs and have never felt such energy and slept so good before. I had to supplement in the beginning few days but now my body LOVES it. It was so hard to keep on the diet for the first few weeks but once your body gets used to it, you don’t even have cravings for sugars and carbs anymore. My family supports me and hasn’t switched to my diet and it doesn’t even bother me when I see them eat thier food. IF you do this diet properly with lots of research before you start, you will be JUST FINE.

When eating things like chicken or liver, I like to add a little bit of sour cream to the juices to make a creamy sauce. It makes the meal a bit more satisfying for me and also dampens the livery flavor of the liver.

Just an FYI - with _whipped_ butter, you're simply paying more for AIR that's whipped into the butter, plus you can actually whip your own butter! Just a stick of room temperature butter in a mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip it up. Just sayin!

[@_tripsa]

Chuck eye steaks are my favorite. I actually work in the meat/seafood department of Frys. Always check out their markdown sections, you can often grab some great deals on items that are reduced.

Great video. I was feeling jealous of the bacon/pork and chicken and eggs! With weird autoimmune stuff, I've had to resort to lion diet b/c it's more than just the weight I'm fighting, but I hope to one day get back to eating those old carn favs. Have been at this for about a year now (with some considerable cheating on and off) and lost about 60 lbs w/about 40 more to go. Thanks for all your help on this trip!😊

[@steveagrios7802]

Hey Laura, thank you for making these videos. They're just what I needed. I'm new to carnivore (about 5 weeks) and have learned so much from yours as well as Dr Berry's Video's! Heading over to your web page now. Thanks again...

[@EternallyGr8FULL]

Hi Laura, thanks for sharing tips on the Carnivore diet. I'm 40 days in and let me tell you, it has been tough! I'm learning so much. For example, how I LOVE sugar and its crazy how much sugar is in stuff like sauces and milk. Like you, I found that I need to cut back on dairy. It was very hard to go to black coffee. Even then that's not good because it dehydrates you. I absolutely love the Watermelon flavor of LMNT! I've become a nutrition fact checker and am trying to be better. I've had a couple instances where I've gone off the deep end because I'm craving sugar (ice cream and Oreos during my cycle... TMI right? But it happens). If anyone is experiencing that, I would encourage you to stick with more healthy options and prepare yourself beforehand so if it you SPLURGE, healthy is your go to instead of the crap. Just jump right back in! My older brother told me about the app Yuka where you can scan the barcode on food items to see if they're good or bad. Anyway, thank you and take care!

[@Aikaterina18]

Dear Laura, thank you for this video. I am currently thinking to have a go at carnivore diet, since I have struggled with my weight (on and off) for years and can not get the lifestyle I want. This video is a HUGE help.

My Safeway 🏊‍♂️🏝🌊on Oahu often sells ground beef 2lbs for $5. I buy at least 16 lbs. I have a 2 compartment burger press and each takes 6 oz. I stack them up and freeze them with dividers so they don't get stuck together. 😋

[@mlc7497]

I live on Maui. Have you noticed at Safeway most of the steaks are cut super thin? It's what people can afford. Prices are crazy here. Your burger press is a great idea. I'll have to get one. Our Long's drugstore has local beef in their refrigerator section. I find it to be priced pretty well. Do the Long's on Oahu have the local beef?

[@24carrotgold8]

@@mlc7497 I bought my burger press at City Mill. Last time I bought ground beef, I waited until the last day of the sale. Although it was $3.97 per lb, they had none left so they sold me the local grass fed kind ($11.99/lb) for the sale price! I scored! 🐂🐂 I did notice my Safeway leaves a ton of fat on the underside of tri-tip when it is on sale. But I actually want the fat 🤗👍🥳 It crisps up nicely in small pieces in my air fryer. 😋

Aloha, I just started today I started off with some beef brisket which was so yummy I am a good Polynesian girl and I weigh 380 I wasn't a person that ate meat all the time I loved all of the sugar stuff all the snacks and cakes and you name it. So today I started with my sister and I'm so encouraged reading all your comments. God bless you all

[@Jeremiah-xb2lh]

I like your channel because you show what one can eat, the variety of meats, how to prepare, etc. Starting carnivore can be intimidating and having a carnivore actually show how they do carnivore is priceless to continue this way of eating. Thank you

[@jesseerickson5346]

I am just starting life in the carnivor diet ( only on day 6). But the biggest thing I will suggest to anyone wanting to go down this rout. Is either learn to butcher/ cut your own meat. Or if you can buy in bulk from a local butcher. If you do alot of ground beef, buy a meat grinder. You will save alot of money in the long run.

Just got back from Costco: 2 pcs chuck roast pack, 1 rotisserie chicken, 3 pack of chicken sausage, 1 bag of fresh caught red rock shrimp, a 3 pack of organic avocado dip(I use a couple TBSP as a side with steak and taco burger) 1 block of cheddar/Black Truffle cheese ( I slice very thin for burgers/eggs) for $102.74. I am 67yr old single male and this will feed my for at least 3 weeks, or more as I also only eat once a day in the evening when I get home from work. I had 2 hamburger patties with cheese and fried eggs on top (I have chickens too!) with dollup of avocado on each, delicious. I don't buy much meat at grocery store besides Costco as I have a side of beef in the deep freeze and use my Freeze dryer for lots of this. Good luck to all of you!!!

[@paulinesligo1774]

OMG in New Zealand that amount of carnivore food would be well over $200. All meat, fish,eggs and dairy here are ultra expensive. We export our best meat, fish and dairy.

[@mirandarileydesigns]

Same in Canada:( I did the math and this would cost me about $165 cnd, which is $197 nzd.

I may be brainwashed at 78, but no one yet has told me it is safe eat a whole lot of saturated fat at age 78, after a stroke, and having a 3 wire pacemaker. I feel great after losing 30 pounds, but still need to lose 25 more to get to an ideal weight. I can't make myself eat a ribeye steak, and it isn't just a new thing. I wouldn't eat chicken skin or meat fat as a kid. I believe it is the texture as well as the slimy feeling in my mouth that had kept me from eating it. I can handle vinegar and oil just fine, but not meat fat. I generally eat sirloin steak, or ground beef. I am working on keto without high glycemic carbs so far. I add EVOO to ground beef and other meats.

[@deniselogan2733]

Great video Laura! Aldi’s in Paradise Valley (maybe elsewhere) has had organic grass fed boneless ribeye, new york strip & bacon wrapped chuck filet on sale the past couple of weeks. I stop in the am on my way home from the gym & buy a bunch to tuck in the freezer. They get fresh delivery every day. Worth a look if Aldi’s is nearby. Also, for Phoenix peeps, two local ranchers Heartquist Hollow Farms & JH Grassfed Beef sell at local farmer’s markets & you can affordably buy a 1/4, 1/2 or whole cow or lamb or pig. Both are locally raised, organic, grass fed & finished, no hormones or antibiotics. Best way I’ve found to stay carnivore & keep local producers in biz.

[@EMak11]

I'm buying a quarter from my local farmer. Grass-fed and organic. My new TV stand is a freezer chest. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m in Arizona and Bashas grocery stores have a great meat dept and prices are good! I don’t get my meat at Walmart anymore. I’ve been low carb meat based for awhile. Love it! There’s nothing better than a meal of steak drenched in butter!

[@LoriAvis]

I have followed your channel several months or more. I know I need to be carnivore. I know this. I just cannot eat "meat" only. I need variety and also a cup of broccoli with supper. Thank you, so much, for all of your recipes, ideas and tutorials. I am the person that knows I feel better very low carb but just gets overwhelmed with the thought of another burger patty for supper. Your channel is a Godsend for me.

The most significant success to losing weight is mindset. People who have lost weight, made a choice to lose weight. There is more than one diet, or eating less, to lose weight. Then overall health and nutrition based on what diet you choose is important too.

Would love to see a couple of your chicken thigh recipes

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Put on pan and season w/s&p. Top each with lemon slice. Roast at 400 for 45 min. I eat the slice too. Save grease! Take skin off each and put on pan, puncture with fork several times on each thigh-mix vinegar, herbs, s&p and pour over each thigh so it goes down into holes. Save skins to fry in cast iron for chicken CRACK (s&p). U won’t believe it when u try it!

I started out eating the ribeye for dinners, but after a month, found that I preferred the sirloin or New York strip. That has helped on the budget.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Sirloin so tough N no where near the exquisite taste of ribeyes or strip

[@vickiebabcock9951]

@@YeshuaKingMessiah, that must depend on where you buy your sirloin. I've been buying mine at a Braum's. (They are located in OK, TX, KS, MS, and AK) You won't be able to cut them with your fork, but they are very tender and flavorful. If the sirloin you're buying is too tough, I would recommend you find a different provider. If they're not offering good sirloin, you probably aren't getting the best in Ribeye either.

[@michelemcdowell9221]

[@vickiebabcock9951]

@@michelemcdowell9221, ribeye was my favorite until I started the carnivore diet. That was the cut of meat I ate the most at first, but overtime, there was something about the texture, and I think, maybe too much fat? Anyway, one day I cooked up a sirloin, and I haven't been able to go back to the ribeye. The sirloin is so good. Maybe it's because you do have to chew a little more. They ones I've gotten are not tough, but they definitely require more chewing than the ribeyes. But I think that's what makes them more satisfying too. My favorite meal: half pound sirloin, sausage or hamburger patty, two fried eggs and bacon. It's really good, and keeps me satisfied for the next 24 hours.

Good vid! My go-to chicken thigh recipe is Goya Adobo (very clean) and Redmond's Real Seasoned salt on both sides. Put on a rack over a foil-lined pan at 425F for 40-45 minutes. Super-crispy skin, esp if you spread the extra skin out on the rack. Yum yum! 👍😁

[@dkcN0va2109]

@@LisaNix2 It works best with the bone-in thighs, unless you are able to de-bone and still keep the skin on them. If you have to go with boneless AND skinless, I'd suggest turning down the heat to 385-390, and just do them for about 30-35 minutes. Hope you give them a try and enjoy!
