It's amazing how you look compared to even just a few months ago. It looks like you reversed five years or more.

[@phyllisvinson9061]

Your videos are so real. Thank you for doing what you do! I’m on carnivore for 7 days. I did Keto with a little carnivore, lost 82 pounds, got married, started eating crap, gained it all back. I can’t stand the feeling or look! By the way my daughter has 16 year old Quads, 2 girls & 2 boys. Love it! Keep up your good work!

[@shortbare4353]

I wonder if you have an editor for your documentary. What is your budget like? Are you using a Netflix approved camera or a camera that’s is approved for streaming? Do you have a boom mic or lavaliere mic you can attach to the on air talent while you interview them.

I feel you Kerry. Once you’re eyes are opened, you just can’t not see all the nonsense around you. It can feel very isolating.

[@Christinesobsevations]

Truth . My son eats like crap . Its sad to watch

[@nancyfahey7518]

I've got my husband at least thinking about his food. He came to me this morning, "look what I'm eating for breakfast", cottage cheese with melons. He was happy, I was happy for him but as he was walking away I said "take a chomp off a stick of butter too. You need that for your brain."

[@ruledbyvenus1859]

You can be surrounded by thousands and still feel alone. The cruise vacation is just another part of your journey. The fact that you did YOUR best given the environment and enjoyed your family is all that matters. 🥩💛

[@CarnivoreJourneyCrew]

We have a cruise next month. Our last 2 cruises weren't as successful as we hoped sticking to Carnivore, but that's changing with this one. We have sent an email to the cruise line expressing our "special needs", and have a response from them stating that our dietary requirements will be met. We did specifically state that we do not consume seed oils, and only eat meat with limited dairy, so hopefully our dining experience is positive. If vegans can request no animal products and be catered to, Carnivores can request the opposite. On another note, yes, the ship crew work their butts off for long hours and moderate pay from the cruise line. Some positions make the majority of their wages from tips. So take care of your servers and room attendants.

How did it go?

[@zorabw8948]

How did it go?

[@m2seacrew]

@@zorabw8948 Couldn't have asked for a better experience. We communicated with our waiter, who called over the head waiter, who called out the chef. By the time we were done, they all understood. The head waiter even offered to meet us in the buffet so that we could get clear answers about the food on offering, and even had certain items cooked "clean" especially for us. On the last 3 nights of the cruise, they even prepared special no sugar/seed oil/artificial sweetener desserts for us with whipped cream and cream cheese.

[@geeeee8268]

Here is a little tip: When you go to frying station, get few packs of butter on the way and hand it to whoever makes the eggs. They know. They'll wipe the skillet and do yours with butter instead of canola or whatever crap they use. If they refuse, look for one of the "officers" and complain. They will. Also, "regular" bacon cured with sugar among other things. Not much but if you that sensitive, just get burger patties. Every single cruise I've been has those. Same for lunch/dinner. They have either something at the carving station (which might have sugar too) or burger patties. Then there is a seafood. Salmon and such. Shrimp. I just grab some butter and shrimp. That works too. Stay away from chicken at all costs... it's the worst. It's a bit easier for me, I also eat berries and honey. There is no good honey on a ship, but berries usually a plenty. Some plain yogurt (if you can do dairy) and berries do it for me. Of course not as much "fun" in regular folk view, but I started to look at food as purely nutrition long time ago... So yeah, just my 2 cents.

[@censured-again]

Sounds like a plan regarding the butter. This works except for the smaller Oceania 600+ cruise ships since Norwegian Cruises bought them out. Since then, the smaller ships have only margarine and no butter except at one of the specialty restaurants. On the first landing, I grabbed a taxi, went to a grocery store, and bought my own butter. My fellow cruise patrons were envious, but then again, they did not take it upon themselves to rectify the problem.

[@JenniferChinchilla-ws1zl]

I went on a cruise at the end of October. I ate strict carnivore and lost 2 pounds. I felt great and did not feel lonely. I am sorry this was your experience. Good for you for sticking to your WOE. Thanks for sharing your story. I did ask for all of my food (breakfast and dinner) to only be cooked in real butter. I cannot guarantee that happened.

[@theShamrockShepherdWagon]

some of us (me included) seem to be more sensitive to the seed oils and chemicals.

[@J_Chap]

I needed to see this today. I have such horrible depression and anxiety. My son who lives with me has horrible depression. We've been doing the carnivore diet for about 4 or 5 weeks. We both are sleeping better. He's been sick for over 3 years and I am retired. We are very low income. I went to the food bank today. It helps with food and we qualified for the Christmas food. We got home and opened the 2 boxes. I was really hoping for meat, but, there was very little meat in there. They were filled with cake mixes, muffin mixes, cornbread mixes, mac and cheese, literally everything we do not eat. I stored it away in the pantry. I have a pantry filled with crap food, cheap food, food pantry food. I have no idea what to do with it. I've given a lot away to other low income elderly people. But I've been staring at a box of raisin brain cereal. I really wanted it. But, decided to watch videos instead. Thank you. I no longer want any of the junk we got. We got a $60 Dillons gift card. We will go tomorrow and use it to buy the best quality meat we can find. That was the true blessing. I'm tired of depression and aches and pains. Watching you and listening to has helped. I want to heal. It seems all the odds are stacked against elderly disabled people, but, I will prevail. Thank you very much and God bless you and your family.

[@marianneellman1139]

Hang in there ,so great to hear you keep fighting the fine fight...l am a fellow sufferer so hear you! Let's be loving and kind to ourselves. I love your determination to stay carnivore. Stay strong, stay kind,stay carnivore. ❤

[@skulijakobsson5116]

Amazing! Stay the course! Will pay bountiful in the long run 😊

[@G0ttoLivefree]

You can buy a lot of butter and eggs that will you a lot further than meat. It would be great to be able to afford plenty of high-quality meat, but you can live on fried eggs cooked in butter, plenty of butter, for many times longer than what that money will buy with meat.

[@ShinySilverBunny]

In the long term you will save on health care costs immensely by investing in animal based diet plus mental clarity for making the best decisions for you and your family. Stay strong. We have to see modern day poisons are no different than poisonous berries in the wild like our ancestors discovered. Also beef patties are amazing and low cost meals

[@robinp9047]

You can persevere! There have been times when I have had Walmart tuna in a pouch and salmon in a pouch from the dollar tree! Food banks do need to provide higher quality carnivore and keto options for sure ❤

[@cypressmoon5090]

I had a similar experience this weekend at an event. Everyone, including little kids eating junk galore and washed it down with soda. I was really sad to think what their bodies had to do to get rid of the it. We are setting our kids up for failure. Carnivore has taught me to honor my body. Thank you for showing up... ❤

[@Attmay]

It’s like Las Vegas if you made it into a giant boat. At least Las Vegas has decent steakhouses.

[@lisafaser6031]

Thank you for your honesty. I can totally relate to feeling lonely in a large group. Even though I’m used to comments about what I eat, there are times that I still feel lonely. The feeling is compounded when I see others shoveling processed poisons into their pie-holes while complaining about their health (and still refusing to change their diet). I appreciate you and this Carnivore community. Keep up the great work!👍

[@celestec3637]

Kerry I did my last 2 cruises strict carnivore and did great. It was hard the 1st cruise but I found some hacks that worked 1- I brought butter patties from the bread station to the egg station and had the used it to make my fried eggs(every morning and the wiped out the pan beforehand 2- no cheating at all and took boiled eggs back to the room for snacks if needed 3- ordered steak every meal and ate till I was full. 4- brought pork rinds with me and made my own nachos if I needed it to feel treated. 5-brought my lmnt and drank 2 a days and felt awesome. Don't give up on what you love but know that the work your doing is making a difference and YOU are changes lives...stay strong my friend...c

[@ryanmasa5810]

Thanks for being real as always Kerry. The seed oils are a hidden problem, since we can't usually see what they are adding to our food in the restaurant kitchens. We need to inspire ALL chefs to cook with butter and tallow again.

[@PreventiveCarnivore]

Kerry..the SIZE OF THAT SHIP!!! EEK. I almost cried with revulsion at the excessiveness of it all! To me, it screams: "Come on in to experience luxury like you'll never have again without again forking out your life savings. Peons." I understand FULLY your depression. I stay so far away from that kind of thing that my very being would revolt if I had to endure it. I'm probably odd woman out on this, but there you have it. I'm happy you & your family had a good time spreading joy & unexpected tips. 💋

[@cherylschumaker1366]

I 👍💯

[@SunnyDays00]

Well said.

[@saylorgirl799]

I’m with you 💯%! I love sailing/chartering “small” (45-55’) yachts… just big enough for family or maybe a few friends (girls trip, etc). There’s no comparison in the experience. I went on a cruise ship ONE TIME in my 20’s and said NEVER AGAIN! I took my Mom on a Caribbean cruise (it was her dream!) when I graduated from pharmacy college as a “thank you.” I enjoyed HER enjoyment of the experience. It was great spending this time with her, especially since we would end up losing her at the relatively young age of 64 to an acute form of leukemia. I’m 63 now, and with the carnivore WOE, I feel better than I did in my 20s/30s, so I’m very aware of how “young” 64 is to leave this earth and your loved ones. I’m so grateful that I took a couple of trips like that with her before I got married and started my own family. But back to the cruising experience… Again, I enjoyed spending the time with my Mom, but ON THE CONTRARY, instead of some “luxury experience,” to me, it felt like we were part of a “herd of cattle” on a boat! You have to do everything in groups, everything is “scheduled,” lots of standing in lines for EVERYTHING you want to do, the only thing that seemed “luxurious” at the time was the copious quantities and varieties of FOOD that they had available. But now that I’m a carnivore, even that aspect would be unimpressive to me. For those who haven’t tried it, I would HIGHLY recommend chartering a small yacht to sail around in the British Virgin Islands. Get a 45-50’ boat; hire a captain if you don’t know how to sail it yourself; take about 5-7 family members or friends and split the costs. The last time I went, it ended up being a little over $100/day/person, and we split the costs 5 ways/between 5 adult friends/family members. IT WAS PURE HEAVEN! We sailed WHERE we wanted, WHEN we wanted. We ate WHAT we wanted WHEN we wanted. We provisioned the boat with some groceries to cover breakfasts, lunches and a few dinners, and we ate out at local island cafes and restaurants the rest of the time. Every time that we’ve done this, it’s been the BEST VACATION EVER! Now, obviously a couple could charter a smaller boat (32’), and a larger group… say several families… could get a larger boat. It’s easy to tailor the boat and the experience to your own personal needs. And it’s a FAR MORE ENJOYABLE experience than feeling like you’re part of a herd of cattle on a boat! I encourage anyone who loves boating/being on the water and tropical destinations for vacation to try it. You won’t be disappointed, unless you just love being part of “the herd.” 😉😂

[@KCCAT5]

Kerry, My mother used to say that I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders when I was younger. I had so much empathy and I could see it in you and you have got to ground yourself you have got to pull that back because it will kill you emotionally, trying to fix everybody. You can't fix anybody unless they want fixing, the best you can do is put the information out there and let people decide for themselves. I go through this with my kids , my youngest especially she's a reckless eater she's trying to get pregnant and she's having a hard time and I keep thinking to myself if you change your diet you'll change your body chemistry you'll get pregnant easier but she's so tired of me talking to her about what she eats and her weight and diet that it falls on deaf ears now when I open my mouth. Just got to pull it back to the 38th parallel.

[@luchiayoung]

Tell your story but don't tell people what to do. I would shut you out after 2 minutes if you started preaching to me as to what to do. Instead, be a role model and shut your mouth. And let people see and quit preaching.

[@NourishmentRedacted]

The rainbow was beautiful, thank you for sharing. I am so sorry that your pains and depression came back! 💔 I believe it's the seed oils that hurt you. 😢 I took a bite of a plain burger patty from a restaurant and I got the worst headache. The saddest part was that the bite was from a "kids menu". Feeding our famiies these foods with horrible preservatives and seed oils breaks my heart. That's why I spread the message of meat-based (carnivore) eating for the entire family.

[@Christinesobsevations]

The contrast is crazy when we clean house .. our bodies absolutely feel it . I can't do grain fed hamburger meat anymore it has to be grass fed organic now . Eggs are also a no . They make me break out Feel horrible. I feel my best on raw dairy occasionally and ruminant meat and water

[@1Hope4All]

Kerry, the whole video was great! That rainbow was awesome! I'm so glad you got to be with your daughters and your wife on this cruise. 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️ But I'm so sorry you got depressed. 😢😞💔 It was definitely that food you ate. The excess bacon, the chicken, and possibly, liquid eggs if they didn't have whole eggs. But I believe the most guilty culprit was the seed oils. But I can imagine that it was also seeing all those people abusing their bodies and them not having any idea what they were doing to themselves. 😢😞

[@dreamofmermaids]

What's wrong with bacon?? I eat tons of it with no problem.

[@1Hope4All]

@@dreamofmermaids Nothing wrong with bacon itself if eating only a small quantity because of the Omega 6 which causes inflammation. Some people might be sensitive to it if eaten too much. He has more meat choices when he's home, but he said that's the only meat choice for breakfast on that ship, so he ate a lot of it. I'm sure it was more than his usual amount he would eat at home. I don't eat bacon all the time. And when I do eat bacon, I only have 2 or 3 slices. And only every other day or so. I can't eat a whole chunk of pork because my stomach cannot take it. So only eating a couple of thin slices of bacon every two or three days is best for me. I don't mind not being able to eat pork because of the Omega 6. And I think, even if I loved pork, which I do not, I don't think I'd be eating it the way I eat Ribeyes and NY Strips. And that's because of knowing that it's too much Omega 6. A Ribeye steak has the perfect ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3. I don't need to throw that off balance by eating pork and chicken. Both have more Omega 6. No thank you! Try eliminating bacon for several weeks. Then reintroduce it and see how you feel. 🤷🏻‍♀️ You may not even feel anything but you might. Everyone is different. But know this, pork does have more Omega 6, so you might be consuming more than you should.

[@jobrown8146]

I've been doing a lot of people watching since I went low carb in Oct 2021. In that time I've lost 22kg, down from 80kg, without trying (I'm only 5 foot in height). I now weigh what I did before I fell pregnant with my first child in 1985. I don't judge people but I look at them with sadness, especially the large ones that you see pounding the pavement who are trying to do something about their weight. And the large parents with the round children; mini versions of the mum/dad. And then there are the ones who look "normal" until you look at their waistline and notice the bulge. I cannot imagine that I will ever be full carnivore but I'm eating a lot more meat than I used to and cutting out more veggies. And looking at what people are buying. I used to be one of them but thankfully discovered low carb and remitted my diabetes and gained many other benefits from changing what I eat.

[@wendykircher6490]

I agree, the food was so good on the cruise...when you are a carb addict! I'm new to carnivore, already feeling amazing and so sad to think about how much of my life was spent on food and the consequences of eating crap 😢 But I enjoy your content... I love feeling like I'm now part of the carnivore tribe!

[@alwaysbeyourself9328]

I so understand Kerry!!! I think we all do. There's no judgment, since the depression (as I think you and I and many others see it), was the direct reflection of all the seed oils and the cheap, unhealthy meats and "foods" that ships are stocked with. Also, watching thousands of people eating only to please their taste buds without any regard to their health and well-being can be incredibly discouraging and depressing. Red meat is the most ideal food for me and a growing number of people, and now that I've been on carnivore for a year and a half, I can feel it instantly if the old symptoms start to come back. For instance, when I eat a certain brand of organic, supposedly clean sausage, I become angry, irritated and annoyed, with moments of absolute rage! It's so weird. But as soon as I eat beef or elk, the anger completely and almost instantly disappears. I've tested this 4 times now and the same thing happens every time. Bacon doesn't have the same effect. So? No more of that sausage! Thank you for sharing your story, and I have every ounce of faith that your joy and excitement will return in spades. Much love to you and your family!

[@nancymc4154]

@alwaysbeyourself9328 I am so sensitive to certain things too. I'd really love to know what kind of sausage that was. Do you get it from Costco and it's frozen?

[@alwaysbeyourself9328]

@@nancymc4154 It's Beeler's frozen breakfast sausage, that I got from a local health food store. A couple of days ago I had about 8-oz of (no-sugar) bacon and I had the same angry, irritated feeling as I did with the Beeler's sausage, which went away as soon as I ate an elk burger, which was interesting. So I'm thinking that I should probably eliminate all pork from my diet.

[@chargermopar]

I have never been on a cruise, or basically any vacation in my life. The only times I had to travel was for work, and I was always counting down the time until I could come home. When I would go to conventions I would eat at the buffets, and laugh internally at the people around me stuffing on "duck food". I never understood why anyone would eat potatoes, pasta, rice french fries when there was roast beef, steaks, seafood and similar. It is surprising that you Kerry had your symptoms return so quickly. I can eat a lot of chicken, but rarely eat bacon because I do not like the taste. Seed oils are pretty bad, I never understood why anyone would cook with it. When I cared for my mom she loved Asian food, I was using lard to stir fry veggies and rice for her. When I tried to use seed oils the fumes gave me a headache! I would rather visit my rural friends and move hay bales with the skid steer or drill fence post holes versus being stuck on a floating virus incubator.

[@1Hope4All]

Hey Rick, I totally agree with everything you're saying! I prefer the meat, even before I was Carnivore. I guess that's why switching to Carnivore was so easy for me. As far as going on a cruise, I never did and I never will. I don't like the idea of being on any cruise ship. I'm stuck in one place on a tiny boat in a huge ocean! No thank you!

To now, the switch is more like an OCD thing with worry for everyone. Stop with betting yourself up and stressing on everything. We see it.

You said it, you brought hopless times to you when you could have just used the time to look out @ sea and enjoy your successes and reflect on where you started to where you are today.

[@pilotrtc]

Your experience proves that we're all different. I cruised while being carnivore and had no issues. I made sure to order my dinner the night before because I prefer to eat in the main dining room. The only other meal of the day was had in the buffet where there were a lot of carnivore options. All the other food options looked unappealing to me because of what I know how they'll effect my health. I ate hard boiled eggs and even the pre-made scrambled eggs and had no issues with that. I had no problem staying away from the oils and mystery concoctions. The best meat on the ship I was on was a "Chicago Roast Beef" and I was lucky enough to get a small slab of fat. It was SO delicious! I lost weight after that cruise. I hope the title of your video will not put off other carnivores from cruising. Cruise ships are known to cater to dietary needs. You only have to ask about it. Plus, there's SO much more to cruising than eating. Cheers.

The great thing is that you got to have a wonderful time with your family as well as seeing an awesome rainbow and all the other beauty of the cruise. The feeling of isolation? Well, that’s kinda part of being a carnivore/PHD person. I feel it too. No one around me understands or believes this is the WAY despite them witnessing how my health has turned around with this and that the weight is steadily coming off. It’s very isolating. And depressing. People refuse to even try to understand. I am surrounded by carb addicts, plant based advocates and vegetarians who look at me askance. I too watch KZbin carnivore community vids everyday just to not feel so all alone.

We always started with a salad, which I didn’t touch, then pasta or some other carb, which I didn’t have, then the steak or fish etc. but because everyone else had stuffed themselves with carbs I had all the protein and fat I could ever want.

Glad you and your family are back home safely!! Thanks for sharing and being so transparent!! Appreciate you, Kerry!

[@MareZeeDotes111]

Wow Kerry! What an inspiration you are! I think you did marvelously well on the cruise. Watching all of your vids has made me be stubbornly yet happily bound and determined to boldly strive to never fall off of this carnivore way of life. 6 mo 5 days for me. You are a shining example to your family and to all of us followers. Thank you so much!!!

[@to5msheppard]

Carrie, I watched a lot of your KZbin videos now I started this because I saw Sean Parker on Joe Rogan but then I ran into you with Dr. Chafee and honest to God. I’m six days in my arthritis is completely gone and it was awful. It’s almost like I can’t believe it it’s unreal And learning and watching you guys has been so uplifting like a rebirth and I’m 65 years old. I want to thank you putting a word out those people that don’t listen will eventually one day you’re putting a seat in their mind I’ve told a lot of people and I let them decide on their own because I feel like I owe it to them to let them know about this, but I can’t lead a horse to water. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re making a difference and not everybody gets to tell you that but you are changing lives! I live in Auburn, California retired and I’m eating meat and butter and eggs and bacon. Thank you again Kerry I did donate to your movie fund appointment. I love it.

[@marianneellman1139]

I must say Kerry,you have kept me on track many times..so thank you for being there. You are a true blessing 🙌

[@cinnie2543]

I admire your self-honesty. God bless you and the family.

[@Kenneth1238]

Having been together with your wife since 14 is so wonderful. Nothing can replace a relationship built over a lifetime.🎉

[@darlene2861]

Kerry you have such a kind heart. I think a cruise would be a trap for my food addiction.

[@1Hope4All]

Bacon is pig, and pig is Omega 6, and Omega 6 is inflammatory. That's why I limit my bacon, and I haven't had chicken at all since Keto in March 2022 and Carnivore about 4 months into Keto.

[@damiendegrasse]

Chicken makes me more hungry! The only pork i seem to have no issues with is iberico, not too surprising considering how they are fed.

[@finallyawakened3350]

I haven't been subscribed to your channel for long but I love how you speak from the heart. Can relate to everything you say. I really like you. Sending blessings from Australia 🇦🇺 🙏

[@Homesteadhow]

Thank you so much!

[@abbyu209]

I would have felt the same way about the food, I can imagine how hard it was to stay on carnivore. Glad you're back home.

[@GL-GildedLining]

29:07 Ohhh, if that isn't a classic "I'm capital-D _Depressed_ right now, but smiling for the camera" smile. Thank you for making this video, and being so deeply honest about it. I came across this one here because I've been researching Carnivore lately to combat an autoimmune disorder that I have, and at the _very least,_ you've helped me understand how important it is to not just eat meat, but make sure that meat isn't being cooked in the usual-suspect inflammatory mass-manufactured oils that cancel the benefits of eating 'A Human Diet' in the first place. Important lesson to learn; _important lesson to share._

[@deborahnell]

This was really helpful! My husband and I are going on our first cruise next month. We're carnivores. Thanks for the information!

[@norissag6616]

This is me whenever my family choses to go to a casion. I would have felt the exact same as you on that cruise hyperexploitation of workers, SAD diet smorgasboard for thousands of sick people. Circus like atmosphere and feeling like youre the only one who can see through it all.

[@Attmay]

The Love Boat it ain’t.

[@janetlance7755]

Richard Simon had his own cruise. I wonder if the Carnivore community get together for a Carnivore cruise ship. So that all the foods would only be Carnivore approved. 😁 Activities can also include lifestyle changing meditation 🧘‍♂️ workouts and educational classes. Like Carnivore cooking, meal preparation, and healing classes. Well, one can dream, but if there was a cruise 🛳 like that, I would definitely go.

[@nancymc4154]

I was so touched by your daughters giving out tips. What great lessons there on empathy, appreciation and generosity. My hat is off to you on sticking to carnivore on the cruise I know we would not be that strong. Everything you shared really resonates.

[@Homesteadhow]

Thank you so much! We did several more tips that day but didn’t want to film and evade privacy

[@tarashealthylife2226]

I just got off a 5 day cruise on Saturday. I hit such a deep dark depression I’m still trying to recover. I allowed alcohol a couple of days. I won’t ever do that again. Thank you Kerry for helping me understand what caused it. I am going on another in February for my husband’s 60th Birthday. I will know how to navigate it next time. No bacon for me either.

[@catcan221]

Just curious what you notice bacon does to you that is not good.

[@dragbikedemon]

We need a Carnivore Cruise!!!

[@karenlee6501]

What a great awakening on yet another level for you. You were not criticising others, you were looking at a reflection of who you once were. You did your best and experienced what it is like to relapse to the old ways. Your system is so clean now, especially after fasting, that the small amounts of bad oils and treated bacon truly affected you. You know that environment is no longer healthy for you. I get that you could go camping and cook for yourself, yet it is nice to have others do for you sometimes. (not that i have ever done a cruise). It truly was interesting to hear your feedback. ❤❤❤

[@kimberlyc.8667]

I’m so grateful that you posted this video Kerry. I was beginning to think there is something wrong with me. When I see people around me (family, friends, and coworkers) suffering in so many ways, it hurts me. It hurts so much that I can’t help them. Very few of them are interested in why I’m better and no longer suffering. I can’t just tell them to change what they’re eating. They’d never listen. They make comments about my incredible will power and restraint and then ignore or dismiss when I explain there are no food/sweet cravings anymore when you make these dietary changes. They don’t listen to a thing about what I changed to heal. It’s so draining to watch them day after day slowly poisoning themselves and suffering in pain. I can see in your video how much it hurt you to watch all those people. Thank you for sharing this time with your family and your experience. I’m glad you had Bill to help you through the tough parts.*** Please consider making another video someday soon about how to better navigate daily interactions with the new view of the world that you gain when you discover this way of eating and way of living. It is somewhat isolating and it would be great to gain better perspectives on how to get through those feelings.*** Thanks Kerry!

[@tracimiller3702]

It is so frustrating when you have found a way that makes you feel so much better and people close to you criticize what you're doing. I guess misery loves company and they want you to stay down with them instead of putting forth just a bit of effort to possibly elevate and heal themselves. 😢

[@RevLetaLee]

Such a great video, I know I would have tried on a cruise but listening to you I think I could to ok. Just a beginner but my desire to be healthy and strong, to overcome what I have done to my body, is strong. The change is starting to happen and I appreciate the support of those who are sharing on youtube and elsewhere. There is hope.

[@monicacollins8289]

I really needed to see this video tonight, because I fell off my keto wagon and just ate a sleeve of Biscoffs 😭. So glad the algorithm brought me here.

[@scoobtoober2975]

When i'm out alone, shopping, i see and hear you. I'm all in on this. When i'm with family, i relax about it and just know the right choices for me. Trying to suggest for others. My kids are not trapped in low carb land. I mix it up and keep it low when possible. At times for snacks they are reduced in it. Or given no carb choices late at night.

[@CarnivoreforLife65]

My Berlin trip recently had some similar aspects, but a cruise has got to be the ultimate test my friend!...great video as usual, maybe we should start our own Carnivore Restaurant chain with Adam, JT, Jeff etc 😊

[@PalinaZ]

There is so much good meat in Berlin though 😄

[@sallylee8174]

Kerry, you have quite the amazing testimony. I pray you reach the masses with it. You and your family are precious.

[@ditchdiggerll]

Kerry you are truly "The Last Man Standing"!!! Love your devotion to Carnivore and all your videos keep em coming.....

[@SuperJudiB]

Love you Kerry!❤ So glad i have you and this carnivore community!!!

[@JaymieBTassie]

Great video. My family taking me on a cruise for my 60th in a few years so good information to have as I was not how it might work. Thanks for sharing and all that you do, you are an inspiration. I am 3 months into my carnivore journey and doing well, new way of life for sure thanks to you and some others sharing your experiences.

[@marianneellman1139]

Thank you Kerry for sharing your family holidays with us. Your girls are amazing. I understand that the environment would effect you,as you have become so aware what is happening to people, without them really knowing... Keep being the great Dad that you are and a great friendship with many.❤thank you. I stumbled upon your channel when you started carnivore. Watched you get great results, the healing of depression sparked my interest, as l have suffered from depression and anxiety for years....been carnivore nearly 4 month's...looking to heal so l can truly enjoy living. May peace be with you,and your family. Xxxxxx

[@PrayOnmykneesLouise]

I experienced the same thing on the only cruise I have been on. I ate strictly carnivore and a couple of days in, I felt horribly inflamed. I thought I was doing it right even exercised a ton! It was the rapeseed oil for me. I came home 5 lbs heavier and very inflamed. Fortunately it came off quickly after getting home.

[@Homesteadhow]

I exercise too! Plenty of sun! Thanks for sharing, I’m not alone!

[@WhamskiBam]

dude, you changed my life, ty

[@sheilam4964]

Thx for filming this and sharing it with us. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@elleb.9881]

@Homesteadhow my family and I just got off of NCL Encore and at every omelette and egg station. I had them wipe the pan from the last cooking and had them use pats of butter to cook my eggs/omlettes and they had no problem doing that. In the dining rooms, I was very clear that I was allergic to all vegetable, soy canola oils, and to please either grill mine with no oil at all, or to only use butter or beef tallow, and they had no problem doing that. Just FYI for any of your followers that may be going on a cruise in the near future.

[@amberford5658]

This is awesome. The art work you made was incredible. Hearing your amazing transformation is making me so happy for you.💗💗💗

[@ruthanna4713]

The beautiful thing is, everyone on that ship has the potential to heal themselves. As of yet, it's still free to choose what we eat ❤

[@TreasureRescue]

Ive never had the desire to go on a cruise. Now that i eat mainly ketovore it would put me in a bad place seeing so many people with out of control eating habits. That and endless barage of everyone feeling like they have to entertain me...anxiety overload. Glad you are back on track and feeling better.

[@debschuelke6886]

Thank you! Your sharing is so honest and helpful. This is encouragement for me to be more careful and observant on my journey too. ❤

[@numnumbeefguy]

Thanks for sharing this. What a blessing to be able to have these experiences. There are so many people walking around in a sugar/ carb daze thinking their illness and prescription drugs are just part of life. PHD is the way! Just subbed based on this vid. Nice work.

[@susankempthorne8652]

Thanks . I’m cruising first time with a friend- 10 days. This video was so helpful!!!!

[@autisticBBBELady]

I totally get what you are saying. It took me a while to change my way of thinking. And it is your way of thinking that has to change. I want to tell everyone about Carnivore but most are so embedded in their way of thinking, they will not give up their addiction much less realize they have a sugar addiction. I don't miss anything about carbs. That is due to the fact that EVERY DAY of my former life was filled with horrible pain all over my body. I was and still am highly sensitive to everything not carnivore. I'm thankful to be on the road to health. I have the same issues with anything other than cooking in butter. I feel right away when I have ingested something not carnivore. You are not alone in this.

[@jeremy_runs]

Thanks for sharing your experience Kerry!

[@christinenason9477]

Diddo, so real about all aspects outside of family time. Too bad because I so enjoy being on the water. Thank you for your affirming honesty.

[@heidiwatts6535]

The timing of thia video was great. We are cruising early next year. Very helpful.

[@Suzanne-goes-Carnivore]

Big fan of your content! I am also posting a daily diary of my Carnivore journey (wáy more boring than yours haha) and today one of my videos was deleted by KZbin because of the content could lead to "self harm". Made me sad because in the video I talk about healing on Carnivore from an eating disorder developed when I was 15. Weird because I am now 46... It was just me sharing, I had said nothing shocking or upsetting... So sorry you had to go through depression on the cruise 😢 Thanks for your videos!

[@LiveFree123]

This was very informative. I’m glad you all had a good time together. Thanks for sharing 💙☺️🇨🇦

[@Lowellian1]

You did the 200 day elimination diet AND THEN THE BIG TEST! Now you know 😊what your triggers are ! Let the ladies go on a mother daughter cruise someday!

[@michelle04258]

I was just on a cruise last month and I resonate totally with what you are saying about the food. After about 3 days I was ready to be home because I didn't want that food anymore. It was sort of making me sad so I totally relate to what you were feeling. I will go on a cruise again but it has to be short.....less than 4 days. I wanted to get back home to my ribeyes, grass fed butter and pastured eggs because they make me feel so incredible!

[@JennifertxCarnivore]

Kerry, you missed all of us on your cruise, that’s why you were down a bit. And the seed oils didn’t help! We are glad all went well and that you had fun over all. ☺️

[@rochellestark9767]

I went on vacation in October (carnivore since February) and ate some sausage links and scrambled eggs at one hotel breakfast (it was the only option there but in retrospect I should have fasted) and within a few hours I had THE WORST muscle aches I have had in many months. The Charlie horse that started in my calf lasted 3 weeks!!! In the future I’ll stick to the Chomps I bring with me or I’ll fast. I went on a cruise many years ago and was so proud of myself for never taking the elevator the entire time. BUT I also ate bread pudding at least once a day on that cruise. And I spent 2 of the 7 days confined to my cabin with a migraine. Gee…. I wonder why?!?!?! 😂

[@zakblue]

This was really great man. Thanks for sharing. I totally feel you on how isolated you can feel being the only carnivore for miles. With that said, It's great that Emma is sticking to it and you can both share that together. I just went through the Christmas dinner with my family, I'm the only one eating in a carnivore fashion at the table. I ended up eating a few things that I shouldn't've and it feels awful every time. I'm not prone to depression, but I can feel myself heading that way if I get off course like that. I can't wait for your carnivore movie. All the best to you and your family for 2024 🥩💪

[@JohnJohnson-wy6fk]

Hey Kerry, I was on a submarine for plenty of 6month deployments and you work 7 days a week and 6-6-6 rotation besides the few ports. You should not be so quick to feel sorry for Emom, because the cruiseship has provided him the ability to feed his family. Also a sense of adventure. Remember that the cruise is paying him more than what he would get in his own country. We all have to start somewhere

[@CarnivoreKipp]

Family time is so important Kerry. Proud of you for taking time with them.

[@heywheresperry3385]

My name is also Keri and I just started my carnivore journey. Another coincidence is that I am going on a cruise on January 8th so I was so happy to see this video.

[@lynnetuckercarnivore]

Kerry...I totally get it. I have a Group I've started on the local Nextdoor program. I care now, like you do. It's gotta be awfully difficult for you to look around and seeing people hurting themselves and even more so, knowing what we all NOW know, to see those you love, making choices that could end their lives earlier and hurt themselves and just watch them do it. Like you said, being the "designated driver." My heart breaks for you. Carnivore - when you really get into it and you want to really help others.... your heart grows THREE TIMES THAT DAY and things like seeing others destroy themselves flat out has to hurt. I think you should be very proud of yourself for finding some joy in all that going on around you. Also, kudos to Emma for being Carnivore with you. At least you had her. That had to help, and she knows she feels better for her good choice, but being young it's gotta be tough for her so... good job girl! Random tipping....God Bless you. I teared up watching that part. That is the way I was raised, too. Minnesota Nice WAS a real thing. That made me think of the way things used to be in this country, certainly in the areas where you all are, and I was raised. Thank goodness for your big heart and how much you care, Kerry... it's rare and wonderful.

[@CarnivoreBrothers]

Rhett and I did a cruise with out families but we’re not as strict. I think we both did really well (especially considering what we would have previously eaten!!) but we had a great time. We ate lots of burgers as well and a steak every night from main dining room. Brought boiled eggs and bacon on executions. But very hard to stay true carnivore for sure

[@pennyrobinson4266]

I appreciate that you shared this experience and enjoy your Carnivore content. I had a similar experience camping at at event. There were several food vendors and I watched young and old carrying huge plates of donuts, fried Oreos and other carnival foods and instead of craving, I felt bad for them. I kept thinking how all those carbs and sugar were like poison and they were doing so much harm. Then I had steak and my stomach hurt all night. There was something I didn’t want in the steak. I left the event early because I was so much to myself. I am changing my life by eating Carnivore. It truly is about healing.

[@cmac9248]

Your a compassionate man , part of the reason for your past depression I suspect ? How can anyone with an ounce of empathy not become disheartened in a world so upside down & inside out . Nonetheless Good you got to spend time with your family . Ps … nice to see your daughter take the time to notice another & show appreciation 👏

[@Homesteadhow]

100%

[@WeSpeakinColors]

About to go home for a couple weeks for the holidays, and this was good encouragement for how to stay the course while letting everyone else enjoy and do their thing. Thanks man
