Gaining & losing weight and building muscle with animal-based eating

[@markmurphy3462]

I also had chronic acne growing up and even into my 20s. Im 29 now having done strict carnivore for 1.5 years and now animal based with lots of honey for over 6 months. My skin is now unrecognisably better. Thank you Paul and others in this space for their guidance.

[@VetCoachLouis]

Yea I thought the honey and fruit would screw up my skin but it actually made it even better. Hair fills in and grows faster too.

[@VaughnCheezy]

I’m 29 and still dealing with acne. I’ve had it since about 15. On my face and back, varies in severity but is always there. I’ve done antibiotics, accutane, topical treatments, everything. It’s still there. The only thing I haven’t done at this point is carnivore or some other restrictive eating.

[@rafaelbohorquez8135]

​@@VaughnCheezyIt's time to. Diet is essential when it comes to acne. Biotin, zinc, iron, riboflavin, omega 3. Those are necessaries for a healthy skin. You definitely don't get them if u base your diet on ultraprocessed food. Also, the inflammatory effect you get from shitty dairy, processed flours and processed sugars will keep your acne in your whole body

[@VaughnCheezy]

@@rafaelbohorquez8135 you’re right, and those are great points. By no means do I eat fast food regularly, but I do eat refined sugars, processed flour and pasteurized dairy products very regularly. I’ve got to make a change.

[@bumblebower1529]

I’d recommend anyone who’s having digestive issues to start out with a carnivore diet first then after some time try fruit but 1 at a time find which ones you can tolerate and digest easy if you notice digestive troubles with carbs time them post workout and space it out from the protein / fat

[@dukeofdixieland]

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

I’m curious how y’all implement this! Do y’all eat fruit & honey separate from meat? I would think eating them together at the same time would be bad? EDIT: I found the answer in Paul’s, “What I Eat in a Day” video (click his channel name, and it’ll be listed at the top!)! He eats them all together! Good to know!

[@M4rcLL]

I don't think it matters

[@jaylintrogdon4253]

And there so many things to can make with animal based eating. You can make ice cream with organic grass fed milk. With fruit on top, you can juice fruit and make pop sickles. So many things. I love it so far. I’ve had so much energy and have lost a significant amount of unhealthy body fat. 👍🏾🤟🏾

I remember back in the early 1990's as a young bodybuilder doing everything I could to gain weight. Literally downing weight gain shakes and junk food just hoping to gain a few pounds. Lol! Now at 50, I fight to keep it off. Lol!

[@Jpmcfly209]

Don’t feel like carbs are “needed”but do help with gaining. Think ill use carnivore to cut and animal to bulk

[@CarnivorePaul]

Does Paul stay in ketosis? I wasn't sure if you can have more than 50g carbs and still get the autophogy

I love the concept of animal-based diet. I just wish you had real-life results of people doing this stuff (before/afters) of people’s conditions changed to kill the noise. From weight loss to skin inflammation, I’d like to see that. No scientific jargon, just real results.

[@smooth_pursuit]

Well, other channels have hundreds of interviews with real life carnivores who’ve beat all kinds of health problems… Dr Shawn Baker’s channel comes to mind. Read the comments as well!

[@Nostrada-mus]

I put my ulcerative colitis in remission. I'm currently med free and have gained 5lbs of lean muscle mass. My CRP is very low and although not everything is perfect. This way of eating made my life so easy and simple and I'm thriving for the first time in 10 years. I've been eating this way for 3 years.

so funny, i come from a complete opposite background. My fad was the best wrestler in his class at 5"9 and he was not ripped at any point, yet he was an intense athlete. At 5"10 I weigh 175 now and it is the lightest I have weighed my whole adult life(Im 29). When I get shredded I looky freaky, but the upside of my body type is you are almost immune to injuries. I don't know what a cramp feels like either.

While cooking food, the protein is being denatured which means the protein consumption is been reduced. Which means we need to uncooked meat or more properly cooked meat

Cooking meat increases the bioavailability of nutrients.

What can people with candida do? They can't eat fruit. What can be an example of a good diet for them?

Yes I agree!! Also gastritis, eating meat is very acidic 😮

[@mindibear]

Dairy, unsweetened yogurt, squash, sweet potato

[@chriskozak7356]

Depends on the person, but imo fruit feeding candida is BS. Added sugar, yeast gluten and processed food feeds candida

Is TRT and Carnivore a good combo for weight loss?

Paul, those lapel mics are emitting tons of EMF. Need some grounded mats between them and your neck. :)

[@joerandom157]

The increasing acne from weight gainers is interesting... as they are almost always loaded with seed oils. Brad Marshall has research on this in that poor converters of Linoleic Acid are protected against obesity, but at the expense of increased inflammation. Acne is a form of skin inflammation. I was not carefully eating restaurant food during a vacation (seed oils) and towards the end, I couldn't eat anything because my stomach was so inflamed. I also didn't gain any weight. Efficient converters of Linoleic to downstream molecules are more prone to obesity though.

Hey Dr Paul! Would love to hear you talk about this Armra colostrum thing that seems to be blowing up. I see it literally everywhere. It may be off topic but Can you talk about why it’s taking off and maybe what ways an animal based diet will help or do the exact same thing? Would love to hear your input! 🙏🏼

[@Valoric]

I’ve been wondering what the explanation is what those sleep jerks I’ve had these last few years. Couldn’t even nap! it was BS! Only just found out I’ve been several magnesium deficient this whole time on a regular western diet. And trying to correct it is kinda hard. My body just wants to throw it out. High cortisol I guess.

[@samanthahobbs1978]

Have u tried cutting back on coffee/caffeine to decrease cortisol spikes?

[@Valoric]

@@samanthahobbs1978 I did! I’ve made a ton of progress with retaining magnesium. Turns out I had very little boron and that it helps you hold onto magnesium. That, no coffee and lowering my exercise temporarily to lessen the stress helped a ton.

Please make a video about carbs, I just started meat fruit honey diet.

[@Tributes_Triumphs]

Are there (m)any weight loss success stories for meat and fruit diet? I see so many for keto and carnivore, but I can't find any for this. I don't doubt it works for people who are already healthy, but I just don't know if I will lose weight with the fruit.

Completely anecdotal but I too only really liked meat and fruit as a kid. Though I didn't like fruit as much.

[@boblashed1012]

Yeah, but how do you increase carbs with only fruit and honey on a muscle building/athletes diet? You obviously need more carbs in order to build more muscle since muscles are primarily glycogen and water(the rest being protein and fat cells)Correct me if I’m wrong, but our sugars would go through the roof eating only honey and fruit and even the most in shape person would eventually suffer pancreas and kidney issues.

He’s citing examples of groups that are still eating the diet our ancestors ate - which is the diet humans are specifically adapted to thrive on (“ancestral diet”). Groups eating Hunter-Gatherer diets don’t have obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc. That’s why many of these ailments are often called “diseases of modern society”.

Paul, real question. Don’t you care about the environmental impact of an animals based diet at all?

If you get your meats from a good source (regenerative farming), there is actually less of an impact to the environment than if you were to consume mass produced veggies - look into it.

[@aboodf6268]

Animal based doesn’t work for weight gain because it’s so satiating

[@rockhuddy]

For those that aren't big eaters, that could be true, but some of us can put down a LOT of food. For those struggling to gain weight, it would be important to prioritize fattier cuts of meat, and eat calorie dense fruits as well. White rice could also be a good source of extra calories for hard-gainers, if needed. And of course, getting enough protein is the first priority.

[@aboodf6268]

@@rockhuddy Fat and protein are satiety foods. More of them does not work for skinny people. I agree with including rice.

[@rockhuddy]

@@aboodf6268 A 16 oz ribeye (or similar) is 1,100 calories with 120g of protein. Especially if you're training hard, then you should be able to eat 2 of those per day. Adding fruit, cheese, milk, etc. can get most people into a calorie surplus without too much trouble.

[@elputopalo]

Thats the biggest lie. I eat around 3.300 calories for building muscles and its never been easier as right now as i just eat meat
