[@valeriab9735]

You are perpetuating the notion the false notion that the carnivore diet is more expensive the people use it as an excuse not to go on the carnivore diet. But if you stop buying all the other garbage that you buy you're just left with paying for the meat you can get top quality meat for the same amount that you were spending when you had included all the other stuff like chips and cookies and cereals and canned goods in fruits and vegetables. It's amazing how much you actually spend on the carnivore diet when you eliminate everything else.

[@saltedllama2759]

The cost of steak up front and in the long-term ends up cheaper than paying co-pays, medical bills, constant trips to the pharmacy, skin creams and lotions to deal with [insert inflammatory skin condition], depression and anxiety, sleep aids, anti-dandruff crap, and having to buy a wide array of groceries that are just going to go bad anyway... I have friends who ask what "products I use" keep my skin so clear. I tell them I eat meat and drink lots of water. They smirk, knowingly embarrassed because they don't want to control their diet and were hoping I could point them to a miracle skincare product. They ask how come I'm not catching the flu, or covid, or pneumonia this season like everyone else. I tell them it's because I have tons of collagen peptides in my system from my diet. Again, they frown. They ask how I keep my blood pressure low, and I explain how red meat, getting good sleep, exercise, and avoiding flouride as much as possible helps the function of Nitric Oxide release in my blood vessels to control blood pressure. All for less than taking blood pressure medication. And so on and so on... People would rather waste hundreds of dollars a month on products and medication instead of exercising a little discipline to always feel better.

[@user-ej9lf7uf4e]

How long have you been on this diet

[@dsa2591]

but if you don't have the money for steak, you just don't have it.

[@Allixar]

I survived off from turkey bacon, burger patty, and eggs on tight college budget of $200 per month. Definitely helped a lot to lose weight and have so much energy throughout the day.

[@delightedtomeatyou]

Way to go!

[@chris5942]

So you actually THRIVED! I started eating carnivore end of May. T2D gone. HBP gone. Energy and mental clarity returned. I could go on and on. Just think that it is illegal to sell our kids whole milk in school. Keep them weak and dull.

[@Allixar]

@@chris5942I went carnivore as a joke in opposed to plant based to lose weight and improve my overall health. I found out that carnivore works out for me all the time. Although, I did cheated with low carb fruits or vanilla ice cream just to engage with others socially.

[@chris5942]

​@@Allixar I have only been doing carnivore for three weeks now. Any time I try to work in carbs such as street taco shells, it causes me more angst over blood sugar than it was worth. Not being enslaved to Big Pharma's pill pushers in white coats over T2D and HBP is so worth the transition effort. Congratulations on your journey!

[@chrism746]

@@Allixar Dr Kiltz has a carnivore ice cream recipe.

[@graybeard222]

One of things you do before you commit to a carnivore protocol on a budget is make room in your freezer. There will always be something on sale.

[@pamjuliani9179]

Salmon cakes are really good! Canned Salmon, eggs, Ground pork rinds, seasoning of your choice. Coat patties with parmesan and ground pork rinds. Fry in butter. Top with Squirt of lemon. I do the same with Ground chicken.

[@jaymehatfield9540]

You are THE BOMB showing us how to do it. Tired of all the influencers saying how good it is but no clues how to choose cuts, how to cook. If you were raised in a veghead home and have no meat skills, you are a lifesaver

[@cinystarr4657]

HAHA this is me - I didn't eat any beef or pork for 30yrs & I don't know how to cook fish either

[@cindyleastorch194]

YES!!!... I have no idea what to do with different types of meat. I can pan fry a steak to perfection (my daughter showed me)and cook bacon(great one pot method by Dr Berry and Neisha). I have beef stew cubes in the freezer....don't know what to do with them. I have boneless ribs in the freezer....don't know what to do with them. Going to watch this again...thx

[@veronicastewart1112]

Some advocates of carnivore, say that grass fed beef is the way to go. I can't afford that, so it's nice to see that someone else shops the bargains and still loses weight on carnivore.

[@polkhigh_33]

Tbh grass fed is just a thing about taste and animal quality of life. If you have the bucks and like the slightly different taste, go for it. If not, no worries, nutritionally the difference between a grain fed steak and a grass fed one is so little, its within margin of error.

[@oscarfelix1952]

I started a keto diet not too long ago and I definitely see myself transitioning to a carnivore diet. I live alone so that helps. So many benefits and it seems to really simplify one's life. I love your channel!

[@delightedtomeatyou]

Thank you 😊

[@kevinhoran5253]

I would definitely recommend you try the carnavor it's amazing.

[@rawirihemi27]

Bacon wrapped eggs… I don’t know why I’ve never thought of that. Nice!!!❤

I like how you keep things simple. I am not a complicated cook nor do I have a large budget. It all looked very do-able.

[@delightedtomeatyou]

You can do it!

Thanks so much! 😊

[@SheilainFlorida]

Awesome Video with a genuine variety of cheap meals. Thanks! 🙏👍👏🏻❤️

[@diogenesegarden5152]

I recently started carnivore and find it quite liberating to just pull a steak out of the fridge, pop it in the pan for a few minutes and then add salt and eat. No fussing around, although the kitchen does get a bit smoky as I like the steak seared on the outside and rare in the middle. I discovered a mobile butcher on the way to my mum’s house and am getting rump and ribeye at mouth-wateringly good prices.

[@BretAtwood]

I bought one if the inkbird thermometers from your link a few weeks ago. Finally used it last night and it worked great! Thanks!

[@delightedtomeatyou]

Oh yay, glad you liked it!

[@trishignao8191]

This is a wonderful video. Love the meal options and it is definitely budget friendly. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Dee-hi5zj]

I've watched several channels promoting the carnivore diet, but after watching this presentation of yours last night, I was totally inspired to make a start today. I found some beautiful pork chops and a 2 lb tray of ground beef at the store and my first all carnivore meal of steak and eggs was great tasting and filling, and like yours was far less than $3. If possible, I'd like to know what air fryer you're using. To me that looks like a very good way to cook may of my meals, besides my Instant Pot. Thank you for sharing!

[@irenepeek3211]

[@terrydavenport2296]

Thank you so much truly enjoyed your informative video❤

[@AnneMB955]

Meat around me is quite expensive. Yours sound so much more affordable. It’s worth it though to stay healthy. Butter is my main fat source. I’m tolerating this better than beef and lamb fat. Must try your way of cooking the chicken. Yours looks heaps better than mine. Thx Jen for all your ideas. 👏👏

This was realy cool. Not a lot of videos done on this.

[@MichaelEllison-jr4wg]

YES, my local SAFEWAY stores have a discount section for various meat products and have 30% off coupons attached. They used to be 50% off but ya know. This is a great way to stock up and freeze for later dates. KROGER has really good rotating meat specials so read the ads and take advantage and stock up when your budget allows. For instance this week you can get chicken breasts for .97 cents a lb, 80% ground for $2.99 a lb, and pork ribs for $1.97 a lb. I invested in a chest freezer just for this purpose

@@usaman7358 Well, I have not been perfect in the 3-4 months so, take this information with a grain of salt, my triglycerides went up after my 3 month follow up labs.

We're basically carnivore/Ketovore diet. We RARELY ever buy ground beef due to its cost, maybe twice a year sales @$1.29/lb. Same deal for chickens. Pork on the other hand, seem to go on sale more often in our area. We buy "restaurant style" bacon from Sam's club, separate them and freeze them.

[@johnguertin4462]

Awesome video , Jen. I think when people say that carnivore is expensive to do it's an excuse for laziness. Unfortunately, IMO, it's the way people think and act. Don't want to take the time to make something delicious, nutrient dense and healthy in their own kitchen. Sad

[@fatimaarcaro8979]

Australia has very expensive food here but ill try

[@aluna167]

[@emptydog1109]

Hey, thank you so much for this. Ya know what makes it so fabulous as it’s so quick and simple. so many people out there make a cooking video so much longer than it needs to be zzzz. You just simplify this for those of us who just want instructions to be quick to the point. Very much appreciate that and will get some of your other videos. I was also happy to see you use an air fryer, which I don’t know how to use . But I am interested in.. do they create a lot of smoke out of an apartment in my smoke detector goes off very easily. I actually have a fan on a tall bookshelf underneath my smoke detector.. I also just ordered a food dehydrator. I want to learn how to use it.. I want to make beef jerky so I can have some meat in a bag that’s not gonna go bad for snacks. if I don’t have a healthy snack, going to eat a bagel or something else that’s around the hospital I would like a donut. 😮. But I got a lot of help and ideas here with this video.

[@delightedtomeatyou]

I find that my air fryer sets off the smoke alarm maybe 1 of 20 times. Making sure to get all the grease cleaned up between meals cuts down on smoke a lot

[@donnadunncochran9987]

Would you do a video on feeding 5 adults. I always have trouble being Carnivore because 4 adults want options Making a grocery list is so hard for me. So I would love any ideas

[@kaakrepwhatever]
