Something really touched me ... I saw a video (a long time ago), where Robin Williams was being interviewed. Robin said that he had been sober for 20 years. And, one night, he was at a party, and he was offered a drink. Because he had been sober for so long, he believed that he was totally in control ... and he told himself that he deserved just one drink, and that just one drink would not matter. But that one drink turned into several drinks ... until he got very drunk. The next day, he woke up on the couch of that party ... he had passed out and never left there. He was very scared ... but he went immediately to a liquor store. He took the alcohol home and drank alone the whole day ... until he passed out again. The next day, he checked himself into rehab. Addiction can ruin your life ... whether it is addiction to alcohol, or drugs, or gambling, or sex ... or sugar and binge eating. Some people can "have a cheat day" and immediately get back on track ... and some people can have a very tiny cheat (just a taste), and it is all over. Yes, it is scary.

I'm a 73 year old retired American who lives in France. I'm 5'7''. Three years ago I weighed 254 pounds. Today I weigh 170. I've been carnivore for the past year, after a year and a half on Keto. The changes in my health have been simply incredible. But, I will not do perfection... I drink café crème usually 2 or 3 times a week at my favorite café, I have one glass of wine twice a month with dinner on Friday night when we go out with friends, and I will usually have one or two restaurant lunches a month where I will eat the "plat du jour", which is usually meat or fish and If there's a few potatoes or figs with the dish I'll eat them, but I won't eat other vegetables or salad. Other than that, I'm 100% carnivore when I eat at home. After all, what's the use of living if you have to be so good?

[@The_Judge300]

I am all for living in a way that makes you enjoy life. I don't see the point of being extremely strict about anything and then suffer because of that. I think it is what you eat for most of the time that really matters. The body is fully capable of being fed with something that is not that good for it as long it is only now and then. I have never been a fan of extremely strict diets, no matter what sort of diet it is. It is much easier for people to follow a diet if they are willing to treat themselves with something now and then and not follow the diet extremely rigidly all the time. I am in general a carnivore, but I am not extremely strict about it. I do at times eat some French fries when eating out and I do eat some types of fruit now and then.

[@ellek6505]

Some of us like being pain free. So being carnivore IS being good.

I’m curious about the temperature of meat. I am new on carnivore. I love rare steak. How can you get a temperature in meat and have it rare. Is it safe to eat rare meat. I never buy nor eat any sweets. I have an aversion to sweets. And I don’t desire to have veggies. I love bread but all wheat products give me asthma. So carnivore is my choice. Only 3 days in. But since I never eat the other foods anyway so I think I can enjoy carnivore.

[@Thomas-1976]

Myself and my wife recently converted to carnivore after 3 years on Keto, initially because I read it helped with IBS and Asthma which my wife suffers with. In iust 2 months her IBS and Asthma has all but completely gone, for the first time in years she can take full deep breaths without any tightness, pain or restriction whatsoever and hasn’t taken her pumps in weeks, we believe 100% this is purely down to Carnivore. Similarly with her IBS she hasn’t had any flare ups in ages, we could never go back to a normal’ way of eating, it’s been all positive since day 1.

I’m struck by how calm, polite and down to earth all the carnivore woman I see on KZbin are. Not just women, Dr Chaffee, Dr Berry, Dr Shawn Baker…. So many and not one of them are obnoxious or outspoken. It’s kind of unique for me because as an ex vegan I’m used to loud, angry debates and lots of drama 😂😂😂 I’m definitely too old for that! Great questions and Elle answered them perfectly. Especially the fart question!! I agree with Elle too, Hungry Jacks Pattie’s and cheese make a great weekend treat.

[@Katelouisabancroft]

It's the steady blood sugar levels! Makes people chill

[@carnivoroushoneybee7862]

Well, the angry and downright strange behavior or some vegans could be due to a low fat diet, which can lead to hormonal inbalance, making it difficult to regulate emotions.

[@deeliabartlett9686]

I used to eat grain-fed beef but switched to buying grass-fed beef from a local farmer. One noticeable difference that I found, was that the grass-fed beef is less fatty. I have also learned that grain-fed beef is higher in omega-6 where grass-fed beef is higher in Omega-3. If fat is flavor then grain fed does taste better but personally, I like adding high quality butter to my beef and getting the higher omega-3 in my diet.

[@estherruth4692]

From what I understand, the omega 3s in grass fed beef is extremely minimal anyway. You’d want to get your omega 3s from wild caught salmon or sardines or something.

[@williambelmont9601]

Best steak: 1. Pat dry with paper towel and add salt & pepper generously all over. 2. Let the steak get close to room temperature. 3. Heat pan to very hot, on a high flame/temperature with a large nub of butter or other animal fat. 4. When the fat is sizzling put the steak into the pan and tap the sides if they curl up into the sizzling fat (don't press hard on the steak in any area). 5. Cook for X minutes each side depending on your favourite degree of rarity. If the steak is fairly thick I do 2.5 minutes each side, to make it rare. If the steak is thinner, it may need less time (getting the right timing based on the steaks you use is a matter of trial and error). This should result in the most delicious steak, a crispy crust on each side and succulent meat inside.

[@myslakarkadiusz]

Instead of using butter, I would use Ghee butter. Butter contains proteins and they burn very quickly. So you can put a slice of butter on top of the already cooked steak. For frying stick to ghee butter or lard. That's what I do.

[@greymatters14]

Also, salt the steak/protein at least the night before so it can penetrate all the way through. Also, have it cooked by a handsome wealthy doctor. 😂

In Australia, McDonalds beef patties are 100% Australian beef formed into Pattie’s and immediately snap frozen to retain freshness and flavour. They add salt and pepper once on the grill x

@@williambelmont9601 As the OP said, it's just 100% beef frozen patties placed on a (flat) grill. No oil or anything else used. I was a cook at McDonald's in California. Also, the eggs...scrambled, McMuffins...are just fresh whole eggs cracked right before you cook them. So many people don't know what they're talking about!

[@williambelmont9601]

@@vanillaghetto I've ordered them quite a bit, they're always greasy as hell, and it's soybean oil. I wouldn't be surprised if they use veg oil as a preservative for freezing, something you'll see a lot with frozen foods - how oily they are.

[@vanillaghetto]

@@williambelmont9601 You're wrong. Sounds like you've never actually met a pan, skillet, or flat iron grill, and cooked a burger yourself. Grease happens. Btw, when I was a cook at McDonald's, I used to get yelled at to drain the grease off of the patties more. You had to stick the spatula under the patty, and use the other hand to place a scorched finger on the patty, and hold it up to vertical, then gently shake it. And do this for dozens and hundreds of sizzling hot burgers, repeatedly...while loads of other buzzers are going off, buns are needing to be condimented, while shift supervisors are yelling at you, etc., etc. This is the reality. Not fun. However, no oil is used on the grill, or on or in the burgers.

[@biancaoctaviatt]

she's amazing! that talk really helped me stay motivated. also, married before, kids, 15y relationship? she looks super young wow

[@TopFacts93]

Leave the steak out for 20-30 minutes before cooking Salt both sides and rub with little melted butter. Cook in a smoking hot pan to get that good sear. Turn once only. Once turned over, lower the heat, add butter and baste the butter over the steak until cooked to ideal temp. Blu - 40c Rare - 46c Medium Rare - 54c Medium - 60c Medium well - 65c These should be your rested temp so take out the pan 4c lower then stated. Happy cooking 👌 Ps been a chef ten years so these are spot on. Cheers.

[@SarcastSempervirens]

It's perfectly possible to sometimes eat "socially" or indulge in something if you have selfcontrol. I went carnivore and love meat, fish, egss, have no problems eating only those things, but if I go out with friend for a pizza or they bring a cake for a birthday - I do eat it in moderation, that one time, like once in 2 months or something. I eat it and simply don't keep on eating the same, the next day it's carnivore again. That ONE and very ocasional meal doesn't really mess with you. My health is better, my weight is better... but yeah, you need self-control.

[@markhatfield5621]

I've often thought like that, I can't. I decide to go off of my eating plan only if specifically, with/invited to eat with friends (rare for me) but then I think 'I might as well binge the while day, or the day before, and the day after, or the whole week'. For some of us, it's all or nothing.

[@SarcastSempervirens]

@@markhatfield5621 Yeah, I'm a kind of person that makes changes in a drastic way. I say "So I'm not gonna drink Coke ever again" and then from the next day I don't. It's extreme and it simply works for me, but I wanted to say "Don't blame yourself for slipping up to the point you end up giving up. Accept it, use a bit more controle and you'll get there." I am a binger, while we're at it. Chips, ice cream.. I can eat a tone. I took a month to get it down to zero and sometimes tested myself, took a bit, ate a bag.. and the last time I took a giant piece of chocolate cake I felt so sick, bloated and physically bad I simply decided to just not do it anymore.

[@ExcellentHealth]

Doing less of something bad doesn’t make the action good. To eat junk food infrequently does not make junk food less harmful. The reason someone doesn’t cut out junk food from their life is because they think it adds value to their life. It really doesn’t. I’m absolutely not against you or your chosen way of eating. It is just that this way of thinking leads many to think that cheat meals aren’t harmful. They’re always harmful, independent of the frequency at which one consumes them.

I totally agree with what Dr. Chaffee says and Elle. I tried a carnivore diet as a teenager in the 70s. I lost 30 lbs of fat or more and put on muscle. I did not think it was sustainable at the time. I wish I had thought differently. I always felt better when eating a high protein/fat diet. Now at a more elderly age, I cannot tolerate vegetables and get very sick upon eating a meal that is high in vegetables.

[@mak7587]

Talking about butter boobs. As a medical secretary, I was doing a course in the hospital I worked at 40 years ago, the medical educator stated “a woman’s pride, and a man’s pleasure consists of fat”. Made it sound most unattractive, but it is absolutely true. 😄

[@Irish_Lass2024]

I mostly eat rib eyes, and I cook them very minimally. I sear them for several minutes on both sides, so that they have a crisp brown texture, which browns the fat and makes it taste super delicious. I keep the center rare. Salt it. It's very juicy that way, and the taste is better than when cooked to medium or well.

[@tinawyatt]

[@barblacy619]

Actually a gradual transition and weaning yourself from vegetables will produce less transition symptoms and I think make it more sustainable. Don’t beat yourself up or compare your journey to anyone else. Take it one baby step at a time and when you make a mistake or experiment, get back onto the path. I drifted from plant based to ketogenic to ketovore. I try to eat less than 20 grams a day of carbs. Taper off, stick to healthy, whole food and learn to substitute. I want crunch, I eat pork skins, I want candy, I eat a butter pat which I salt. Keep your goal as improving your health. You can accomplish your mission to optimize your health. I will keep you in my prayers.

One of the better vids I’ve seen on this topic . Enjoyed the realness of it …😊

[@lynhunter9904]

Many years ago I was buying steak at a butcher shop when a rugged cattle farmer who was standing next to me, (he was the real deal - had a deep Aussi suntan and wore an old battered Akubra hat), told me to never buy grain-fed beef because eating only grain tears the cattle's stomach to shreds. I have never bought grain-fed or grain-finished steak since that day. Another thing to consider is that modern grain is probably genetically altered and could be laden with pesticides and anti-fungal treatments.

[@lf7065]

It does the same to humans, which is why so many of us have leaky guts!

[@user-cl6uj5bn2f]

Was so interested to learn Elle has kids, I recently watched an interview with Dr. Chaffee speaking on carnivore for kids and how it's beneficial, I would be interested to learn more about carnivore for kids and whether it's beneficial or potential harm of too strict a diet at a young age etc. Ps both you ladies are stunning and lovely personalities🫶 Great examples of benefits of carnivore🙌

[@zeldalazino463]

Of course it’s better for kids than the crap in the market. Just remember how we evolved, breast milk and meat. It’s only a modern problem that kids are sick and allergic etc., all the time bec. of the garbage and fast food their parents give them, starting with formula. Quite a few carnivores whom I follow, feed their kids tons of meat and the kids are thriving; check out Laura Spath for starters.

I loved this interview. Elle is absolutely lovely, as are you Rina. It helped me to realize I don't have to be so obsessive over the quality of the meat at alllll times. Thank you both so much. ❤

[@HannahNObanana]

As far as the calories question, I think you guys made a nice point about the packaging labels and how you shouldn’t eat anything you feel you have to check the label for. However, there are labels on meat, because meat has calories and such as well. I personally found that I was undereating on carnivore and as a result was still losing my hair and having energy problems. So I started loosely tracking my macros and it has helped so much. I will only be doing this for a little while until I can just eat the way my body needs out of habit. Eating until you are full is not applicable to all in the carnivore space, some of us have bodies that require more nutrients than just satiety can provide to have real healing effects long term. Loved this conversation, thank you! :)

Really nice interview! I was a bit shocked about the McDonalds conversation. I think that is fine in a real pinch, but the quality of the cows that end up as those patties seems highly dubious as well as they way they are handled before and after processing. I do think the quality of an animal’s life and the way it is butchered and processed makes a big difference in what you are putting into your body when you eat them. I would never trust the fast food supply chain to deliver quality meat.

You also have to get around a few other ideas that are drummed into the public by the medical profession. One is that saturated fats are bad and another is that salt is bad. It’s a hard thing to get your head around but you do need to eat more fat and all the salt you want. But oh, the rewards…

I finally read that you can develop an allergy to ingredients in your shampoo, so I changed shampoos until I found one that that did not cause the irritation. I have not had the irritation for over 20 years now.

Thank you ladies.

[@mariamootoo3]

Great interview , but stop asking people when they are getting married .

[@Norman_Gunstan1]

Agreed

[@elinmansson5535]

Agreed, very inappropriate. It’s like asking someone if they are pregnant..

[@trafferz]

Looking at the McDonald's Australia allergen listing, they show beef patties are seasoned on the grill with salt, pepper and sunflower oil. Not sure how much, but sunflower listed.

[@avocadomegs4189]

Great interview! I can definitely taste a difference in grass fed we personally love it but I think taste depends on what type of grass they’re fed. We buy from a local farmer who practices regenerative farming & feeds off grass/legume fields and they bale their grass/legume hay for winter months. I’m not sure what type of grass, but it’s delicious beef way better than Kroger/Aldi’s grass fed beef and slightly cheaper on basically all cuts vs in store

[@Thanatos2996]

The “cows are killing the planet” myth is pretty easy to debunk. One easy thing to point out is that there were twice as many bison in America before the US massacred them as there are cows now; I’d imagine the situation with Europe’s ruminants is going to be similar, though you’d have to go further back. A grazing heard of cattle in a range of undeveloped land is as natural as it gets, unlike fields of grain.

I really hope that Elle can establish her own "followers" without having to be referred to as Dr Chaffee's girlfriend. She is great without this reference and has her own identity.

[@adoseoflove3609]

I was thinking this too..

[@StoneAgePHD]

Maybe she doesn’t want to?

[@lindakarlson1026]

I'm sure she has it handled.

[@sheenajoy.seintartist]

I agree!

[@brucemckay6615]

Well everyone has to start somewhere…. If Elle is successful then who she hangs with wont matter

These days I have to count calories to make sure I am eating above 2000 calories a day! Eating enough is a real struggle. Simply nuts! I never was like this!

[@betheltours4u]

The key to an amazing steak is using enough salt and sous vide cooking

[@5MinuteBody]

Sounds delicious 🤤

[@peterbeyer5755]

SV is a game changer when cooking steak.

[@zeldalazino463]

I make scrumptious perfectly done steaks in my Insta Vortex Air Fryer. Sirloins done to perfection as well as NY strip steaks and chuck steaks too. I prefer sirloin over rib eye any day and they’re less expensive. Friday nights I make chicken wings flavored with ground chipotle. Yummmy. And a few times per month I make meatballs with 80/20 ground beef often mixed with ground lamb. The batch I made yesterday was beef and chopped uncooked, zero-sugar bacon! Recipe is from Laura Spath, whose five year carnivore journey along with her husband and two kids is so inspiring and empowering.

giving up alcohol would be the hardest thing for me....

That was awesome 👍

[@mikey803]

For McDonald's patties, choose quarter pounder vs cheeseburger/hamburger patties. You can taste the difference between the patties.

[@IgivemylifetoChrist]

Thanks for the AnW tip❤

[@MsSweetlandofliberty]

What a darling young woman - nice interview and conversation.

[@NPC19191]

This interview is so cute ❤ love you ladies

[@ewafrackiewicz437]

She is very lovely 🤩 Great interview. Thank you 💓

[@doneggerton7313]

Hello enjoy your programs Don here in Texas. Can you give me a link to the handheld blender used to put butter in your coffee thank you very much. Keep up the good work.

[@ItsWhat__]

Can i suggest getting an oversized mug as well . No spillage then 👍

[@sharonbackos4975]

What a great interview! She is so beautiful! She looks 22, so I was surprised she had children.

[@davidroche123]

Great interview. Any way to get the recipe/method for cooking that steak? Sounds amazing.

[@carychiasson9834]

Today is 6/19/2023 I just cooked a New York strip and just used Redmond's salt and coated the pan with bacon fat and that was a tasty steak. It was about medium cooked. I thought it was really good.

[@vitalijussivakovas334]

Thank you ❤ she's lovely. Anthony one lucky man have her as a Carnivore. (PS you posted your video same time as Ken Berry live show)

[@5MinuteBody]

Thank you! Oh I didn't know that 😲

[@niellalien]

I realiy like her! Thank you for the interview! :)

[@ReasonedRhetoric]

Salt and pepper your steak first. Put in hot fry pan. LEAVE it there on 1 side until the cooked color goes 1/2 to 3/4 way up the side. It won't dry out like they say. Then you can flip it. Flip once only Cook the second side for as long as needed to get the color you want inside.

[@jeaninejordon9095]

Chef Jean Pierre shows how to cook the best steak, ever and his salt trick is spot on and nonfail!

[@stephanarizona9094]

OMAD Carnivore has been the EASIEST thing I have ever done, I tired Vegetarian, Vegan, and Keto, and I was always hungry and they all turned into high carb diets. I started OMAD Carnivore October of 2023 at 232 lbs and this morning weighted in at 167 lbs, that is 65 pounds of weight lose in 8-months with little effort!

[@caroljenny7701]

I think that you meant that the grass fed is gamier, not the grain fed or grain finished. Even the grass fed is often finished at the end with grains to put on the fat marbling. The grass fed has less fat and walks around free-ranging which uses their muscles more which makes them "gamier".

[@daniesza]

Do not Pierce the meat place it on hot pan salting it 15 minutes prior as it sits getting to room temperature. Use tallow on the pan to brown the steak. 9 minutes each side as a measure.

[@julierahn6932]

yes & great techniques on YT channel, America's Test Kitchen Cooking School (searing steak) and Techniquely for salting beef, chicken, salmon

[@tmciff]

The grass-fed taste will differ from pasture to pasture. Different regions have different food sources for cattle, so their meat will differ in taste. Grain-fed is more stable, so it tastes the same from region to region. I prefer grain-fed myself. But, I have had grass-fed that doesn't taste gamey. I did have to get it from someone out of our region. An option, if you can find a rancher that does this, is grass-fed but grain-finished. This gives you the benefits of grass-fed, but the grains at the end of the cow's life cycle clear the gamey taste.

[@fd9018]

What about all the healthy soil micro-organisms that are eliminated when the soil is prepared with chemical fertilizers and pesticides for agricultural crops? So bad for the environment.

[@westrm2010]

Ghee which is clarified butter is devoid of carbs and protein. It is just fat.

[@janetharradine4330]

Oh, Dr Chaffey, I ate vegetables, I must be punished😂😅. He is so dreamy!!

[@dsmith5600]

I'm really chemical sensitive & can ONLY EAT ---GRASS FED---BEEF mainly.....can't do all the roundup & chemicals sprayed on the grains......I also had CHILL BLAINS......they stopped when I went off GLUTEN....

[@sandraloxterkamp638]

Unfortunately, where I am in Canada none of the fast food options will sell you the beef patties bt themselves.

[@akansingit]

“I’m gonna tickle you to death” y’all I think I just died from the adorableness 😍

[@Epona52]

QUESTION: If butter causes a problem for you, can you use ghee? That's purified butter, with the milk solids removed.

[@kentee4957]

Me & my wife tried grain fed brisket twice and ended up with nausea so avoid the fatty grain fed meat now

[@williambird884]

Honey does not come from bees. Honey comes from flowers. It is not an animal food. It is a plant food and that is why it is so sweet.

[@victoryluck]

I have heard many carnivores call honey "bee's vomit" ... and just that thought makes me never crave it.

[@jw8927]

grain feed will always taster better, cows are fattened up at the end on grains but all graze on grass before.

[@Epona52]

Grass-fed vs. grain-fed . . . actually, both are grass-fed, until the last 60 days; the "grain-fed" is actually grain finished, to add fat and marbling to the meat - which improves the flavor, and increases weight for a better price at the sale barn. There ARE cows that produce meat which is nearly as well-marbled as grain-finished, but on grass only. The other thing is - grass-fed beef has a better balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.

I personally would not support an unhealthy food business like McDonalds.

[@meatvenus]

The problem with Fast Food is the ‘CAFOS’ element. Support Slow food, buy local, etc!

[@codinginflow]

Lol the beginning about the first dates with Dr. Chaffee was hilarious

[@rebeccalucy1]

A great reason to eat grass fed beef is that its best for the cow. They are out in the field living their best life. Grain fed beef is often corralled so they can be fed which breeds disease which means they are dosed with antibiotics which then ends up in the consumer. So while i love eating meat, i choose animals that are cared for, feed correctly and aren’t sick. Just a thought

[@Rockabillyviking]

Butter boobs, YES! I have lost weight around my ribs and gone down 2 bra sizes, from 38 to 34/85 to 75. And my girls are still DD's. Butter is awesome!
