Keto vs Carnivore Diet: 7 Reasons Why Carnivore is Better for Me!

[@robinbeers6689]

Another reason that I find makes carnivore less expensive is that there is almost zero spoilage waste. You take the meat out of the freezer, let it defrost, and eat it. There is nothing at the bottom of the veg drawer going bad before you get to it.

[@LauraSpath]

That is so true!! 👍

[@robinbeers6689]

@Falhawk73 Please back up your assertions about what is "healthier". Until then, these are just your opinions, not facts. There are lots of ways to make carnivore affordable if you care to put in a little effort such as buying in bulk and buying lesser known cuts (e.g. chuck steak instead of ribeye). Writing it off as unsustainable is just lazy. I have been a carnivore since 2013. It's very sustainable. Also Carnivore is a subset of keto. They are not really two separate things.

[@Guadamo1]

@Falhawk73 I call BS on your statement.....nuff said

[@robinbeers6689]

@Falhawk73 I never said YOU have to be carnivore. I don't care what you eat. Relax. I choose to be carnivore because it has cured my epilepsy. Carnivores aren't dogmatic the way vegans are. You don't lose your "carnivore card" for having some avocado on your burger. Humans have been primarily carnivorous since cave person days. This is not opinion. Look up the science of stable isotope studies done on bones. I deal in facts not generalizations, hyperbole, and strawmen.

[@robinbeers6689]

@Falhawk73 A couple of things. Notice that I never said that you or any other specific person SHOULD do anything. You OTOH, are saying that "normal" people SHOULD be omnivores. What any one person SHOULD do, is up to them. How about if you de-generalize your statement to, "I feel that this is what I should do for me"? Then we have no issue. Yes, we have the capacity to eat both plants and animals. That is probably why we have been so successful as a species thus far, we aren't fussy. But historically, the times and places where we didn't have many choices in plants while meats were plentiful outnumber the opposite. They are called ice ages. (I recommend Nora Gedgaudas' fine book, "Primal Body, Primal Mind" for more on this.) Even today, it would be impossible to be a vegan or vegetarian and survive in the wild. These diets are only made possible by supermarkets that bring foods (and supplements) from all over the world to one handy location. Blood results are not generalizable from one person to the next. Mine are much better than Dr. Baker's for example. And there are lots of vegans who are falling apart physically and turning carnivore to avoid dying, restore fertility, hair loss etc. Also, you need to define what you mean by having "good" bloodwork "science wise". A lot of what counts for good bloodwork in most MDs offices these days is all about the LDL and/or the TC which are completely meaningless numbers. I recommend Dave Feldman's excellent work on cholesterol for more on this. There is a book called "Hypercarnivore" out there by Don Mataez which sets the cut-off for being a hyper carnivore at 70% of your nutrition coming from animal foods. Just saying, there are a lot of different definitions of "carnivore" and I don't care about anyone else's but mine. For me the meat is the food and plants are flavorings and decorations (tea, spices, shrooms, garlic, etc.) Plants can also be medicinal, e.g. cannabis helped me wean off of the Rx meds I was taking for my no longer problematic seizure disorder. So far I am 4/5th of the way off the meds. Working on that last 1/5. Dr Saladino is actively seeking out carbs because he feels he needs more calories than a purely carnivorous diet can give him. Not being a muscle headed studly young guy who works out like a fiend myself, that is not important to me. Note that he does not even say that one "should" do the honey and squash stuff that he does, just that is is, in his opinion, right for him. He also got Covid after increasing his carb intake. Could just be a coincidence. I genuinely feel sorry for you if there is no good beef available where you are but there is nothing wrong with going with fish and poultry. Where do you live just out of curiosity? You obviously have the internet so it can't be all that far off in the wilds.

[@missminti]

What you are explaining is negating "decision fatigue". You are essentially creating a uniform diet. This reduces stress and confusion in so many other areas of your life. After going carnivore I also streamlined my wardrobe, decluttered my house and went on a no-buy for several months. Reducing variables seriously improves your life.

[@janeadams647]

That’s a really interesting insight. I’d never thought of it that way before but you’re 100 percent right.

[@BR-gz3cv]

Amen! Simplifying life is so liberating. Deleting shopping apps like Amazon, Walmart, etc really helped me too. I also try to only ride my bike to the store- it limits what I can buy because I can’t fit it in a backpack!

[@joanie2shoes]

I like carnivore better too. I'm 70 and I don't want to spend a lot of time shopping, preparing and cooking. I eat a lot of ground beef, eggs, cheese, bacon, chicken, canned tuna and salmon, easy things like that to prepare. Sometimes I'll have a bit of veg, such as avocados, mushrooms, pickles, but generally try to keep carbs under 10 grams. Also do OMAD now. Been carnivore about 6 months. Still working on weight and metabolic issues, but it's coming along nicely. Thanks for your videos! I really enjoy them.

[@peachesfireside178]

Joanie way to go sounds like you are on your way!

[@nikomonk7437]

Wow you thriving at 70... Very inspiring.

[@seeking.harmony]

I’m 71. Just switched from keto to carnivore a few weeks ago. For now, I’m just sticking to meat, eggs, butter and water with electrolytes. I gave up cheese because I wasn’t able to lose any more weight. It seemed hard at first, but I honestly don’t crave anything any more. I eat eggs, bacon and sausage or ground lamb around noon and a steak at 6. The reason carnivore works for me is because I’m lazy. 🤣 No meal planning and limited items from grocery store.

[@joanie2shoes]

@@seeking.harmony Sounds great! Good luck on your journey! I'm nearly zero carb now. Some do creep in, say in some sausages or liver pate. Just made a lovely dish that I heard of in a Judy Cho video interview with 78 yr old, Mary Fields. Mary cooks two pounds of beef, together with one pound of pork and one pound of lamb (all ground), and stews it with a little salt. I added two slices of bacon that I had leftover, and it was exceptionally delicious! And you can get 4 or more meals out of it. I call it my B2BLP meal, in honor of Dr. Ken Berry's BBBE challenge. 😁

[@laurieduncan6096]

Same!

[@MsTdub2010]

I’ve been ketovore just for the month of March (2023) down 8.8 pounds but starting in April, I will be carnivore for more weight loss. I e noticed my spine arthritis is less painful and my night cough has gone away. To God be glory but this change of eating for me is incredible. I appreciate you and Dr Berry for introducing me to this way of eating. Be blessed

[@barbtullos3909]

Exactly why I like carnivire better too. Was keto and switched. So simple. No planning. Get meat, cheese and eggs. Love it and I feel great. Have kept off my 50 lbs and went from size 14 to 4. Live your videos.

[@sparklebiscut1904]

Great video! I love listening to you ! I have also been carnivore now for one full year. I have fallen off the carni wagon three times in the past year. It always starts with some sort of self talk, that I need to have just one candy bar/cupcake etc ...and then I tell myself I will go right back to my strict carnivore. Well that’s my big lie... it always spirals into at least a 6-10 day binge fest, eating as much garbage as I can possibly find in a day. When I binge, I feel like a drug attic that has went back to my addiction after quitting. All of my aches and pains, anxiety, and brain fog also come back full force during my binges. Not to mention this usually ends with a 7-10 pound weight gain for me. I have come to the realization that I have no choice but to be a lifelong abstainer, because I am NOT a moderator.

[@peachesfireside178]

Carmen from what I have heard sugar no matter where it comes from IS as addictive as hard drugs! You can do what is best for you because you deserve to be without pain, anxiety, and brain fog! I have just begun this new journey late February of Keto and feeling MUCH better but I believe I can feel even better and CONSIDERING carnivore. More time on Keto may work for me but I do not do there desserts, pizzas and such for I know it would throw me under the train so to speak. Prayers for you and all that are trying to be healthy but fighting addiction tendencies of sugar.

[@kiwikim5163]

With keto I was still obsessed with food, my gut was bloated and I was constipated.

[@jselectronics8215]

Yep, I stopped trying to make fat bombs after going carnivore.

[@awendaawenda8011]

My gut bloating was severe and I had both an endoscopy and colonoscopy and found out I have gastritis. So no pop, no citrus, no pickles, no tomatoes, no juices full of sugar and cutting out processed food. Could be something worth looking into.

[@christineramseyer4721]

I am impressed by how well you communicate the carb addiction healing aspect of carnivore. I find at least one thing in each of your videos that strikes home for me. I agree that for some people, me included, there are too many loopholes in keto for success. That way of expressing it is very helpful. Thank you Laura.

[@steph.zerocarb.lifestyle]

Laura, I'm exactly the same and agree with everything. I've been carnivore now 18+ months and OMAD for over 12 months, it just works best for me as I can still overeat. It's simple, delicious, I'm not hungry the rest of the time and I don't crave that other stuff anymore. Like you, I can't moderate. Because of that, I became fat and sick. Carnivore has turned that around, and given me back my health and life. Thanks for your constant hard work to spread the word 👏👏

[@annalee7650]

Laura, Love your videos! I’ve been clean from my food drugs (sugar and wheat) for 19 years. I was still about 30 pounds overweight. A little over 2 years ago I tried Keto, in a quest to help body aches and pains. (I’m 69)I lost a little weight but still didn’t feel that great and I was still fixated on food. So, in December of 2018 I decided it wouldn’t hurt me to try Carnivoire....BINGO I immediately dropped the extra weight! For all the reasons you state, I LOVE Carnivore. I tried adding a little dairy and have found my body doesn’t function as well with that. So it’s strictly meat and eggs for me. I love weighing what I did in High School. And I love knowing I never have to eat a salad again ever! You are such a beautiful woman...I’m your Southern Arizona fan club. Anna

[@kathyhanson1074]

I’m blown away by not needing to snack on the carnivore. I was eating every 2 hours because I was hungry before carnivore meals. I started out just 2 meals a day but the last week have been eating 3 because I’m hungry. My husband has cookies and snacks all day and I can proudly say it doesn’t bother me a bit! I’m so happy I stumbled across your videos.

[@msg4925]

I find it easier to just avoid carbs. I’m loving the keto-carnivore way of eating (high fat meat, butter, eggs). Yes, meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking is SO much easier. Most days are OMAD.

[@LauraSpath]

I completely agree!

[@mjones1122]

All these ingredients are fresh, no boxed, prepackaged foods. If you shop around you can find deals on meat. After doing carnivore, my body feels so much better.

[@TheGekko64]

Great video! It really is an individual decision...Keto is perfect for my wife and me. We do mainly dairy free keto and IF. Its been 5 weeks and I am down 37 lbs and, more importantly, a 15% drop in body fat. She is down 28 lbs...No GI issues at all. We feel wonderful!

[@symplicatedlife8446]

"Finding freedom in the restriction". Amen! I have found the same thing going from keto to carnivore. It was weird and perplexing at first to realize that feeling of freedom after spending years on other restrictive diets that felt more lenient than carnivore, but it was true! Well said, Laura!

Laura, I realize you have a full life other than this youtube channel (job, family, etc), but I find your channel so motivating and you are by far my favorite Carni - you are so honest and relateable I wish you had the ability to do videos full time.

I bounce between carnivore and ketovore, but ultimately feel best on strict carnivore. I just need the flexibility to have something different on occasions to keep me motivated and not get burned out. Also, would love if you did more about your kids meals! Our two kids love seeing other kids who are eating this way so they don’t feel like the strange ones. It helps them stay motivated too to see other kids enjoying similar meals and not being excited over lunchables or goldfish crackers 😖

[@jonathanmicday1620]

When you do keto or carnivore you need 400 mg of magnesium daily ( 3 dollar or 4 from any pharmacy) to avoid keto flue or carnivore flue. Also potassium is important once a week, just 1/4 tsp that is like a little pinch with your finger. You can get potassium in grocery store for 1 dollar or two, Potassium is called "Salt substitute"

[@michaelreed2700]

Years ago, I lost a ton of weight on the Keto diet, which was fairly new at the time.. Lost weight extremely quickly. I kept it super simple; ate pretty much the same thing every day, consisted of eggs and meat basically. Started making some small exceptions, then large exceptions, then doing the worst thing possible- high fat low carb half the day, then ALL the carbs and sugars later. Resulted in a high fat/high carb diet.. As you can imagine, I gained it all back. It took about 8 years, but I got back to my starting weight that prompted me to make life style changes in the first place. Went Keto again and nothing really happened. I dropped maybe 10 lbs, but it kept creeping back up. After several months I examined what I was actually eating. I was very strict about keeping my carbs down, but I was eating a TON of 'Keto friendly' foods. Keto bread, keto tortillas, keto ice creams, keto shakes, etc... Looked up a lot of videos and found carnivore diet advocates, including your videos. Realized that the 'keto' that helped me lose weight 10 years ago was actually carnivore. The keto foods were holding me back; the fiber, sugar substitutes, etc that were replacing carbs and sugar were causing me to stall as if I were eating the original stuff.. Went straight carnivore a bit over a month ago, and it's simpler. I don't need to make a fake pizza crust for a keto pizza, I just pull a steak out of my sous vide and toss it in the cast iron. Or cook up a lb of ground beef and add a bit of cheese and sour cream. Eat a bunch of eggs and sausage/bacon for breakfast. 2 meals per day is plenty, and I'm dropping weight again. 20 lbs so far, and feeling wonderful. Joints had been painful for quite a while, inflammation is going down and I don't hurt all the time. I'll stick with carnivore, it works better for me.

[@Hevle24]

I’m also doing carnivore because I don’t have to worry about carb/calorie counting as I have OCD tendencies; also it’s why I yo-yo diet... way too much work.

[@LauraSpath]

Wow congratulations!! Keep it up!!

[@gratefultammy]

Carnivore newbie here / 3 weeks on .. I had a difficult time with keto due to my personality . I wanted to buy and create all of the good pretty treats . Butter has helped satiate me on my beef and in my coffee . I love the channel thank you Laura 😊

[@katielotson1649]

Breastfeeding mama of 3 in my last semester of clinicals with a hubby who travels 90% of the year to put me through school. I fell off the keto wagon at 5 months pregnant and now cannot get back on because I cannot track anymore. I am pretty sure I will he transitioning to carnivore, because I need to get my weight back down but I really need to be able to "auto pilot" my diet. I am loving your videos!

[@LosingDrea]

Great Video Laura but then everything you said is exactly all the reasons I myself have gone from Keto 2 years and almost 5 months after into Carnivore and though I cheat with lettuce on the taco salad with the sour cream yeah I get the same and know I can't have that and also sadly not many cheese. All cheese is not the same, but meats no matter what seem to be okay other than the less fatty ones which I always find myself satiated in the moment but then hungrier later on for more. Meat is satisfying, and I feel great and don't have any digestive issues. So many things come from my eating meat. Even being a little nauseas I eat a meat cookie AKA hamburger patty and its gone. You look amazing, your hair always healthy and your eyes always so bright. I find this to be the case for myself at 50. This WOE and Life is the most amazing thing I have ever done for myself PERIOD! Love ya

[@pgreen6840]

Wow, the light has gone on !!!!! Just starting carnivore and hearing someone talk the talk and walking that talk ESPECIALLY the shopping and speciality game . You rock and thank you for sharing . Also, you glow effervescently- that speaks volumes !!! Stay safe and keep sharing !

[@azplease4121]

Thanks for sharing! Makes so much sense and the reason why I'm gravitating more towards carnivore now. Self moderation is not my strong suit. Btw, your hair looks fabulous!

[@hannahrichard5806]

I relate to this so much! I am just now transitioning from keto to carnivore for these reasons 🙂 You are a inspiration. Thank you so much for doing these different videos. I would love to see some more what I eat in a day videos.

[@nancyjackson8690]

Great video. And so true. I just have to really watch my dairy. I love cream in my coffee and cheese!

[@LauraSpath]

I am the same way with my cheese! I have to keep myself in check with that.

[@michelesteward5170]

I'm with you 💯💯💯 #1 reason~ I just feel better on carnivore. Autoimmune disease and digestive issues controlled

[@QUANTUMMUSIC101]

Thank you for great video dear Laura! Really appreciate you and your insightful and emotional info about your food on everyday basis. It helps me to stay in right lane with type of food I eat and enjoy as well - I love stakes! Lost 100 pounds (from 285 to 185 lbs) 2 years ago on Carnivore Diet following recommendations of Jordan and Mikhaila Peterson. Then decided to try Keto Diet and immediately started to gain weight back - looks like no carbs in ANY form for me! Now back to Carnivore and OMA - with great results and feeling great!! Looking forward to check out more of your videos and wishing you all the best!

[@lisahabedank]

Those were spot on!!! Especially the cost. I've noticed a savings...not buying a big pile of fresh and frozen veg every week and all the sides you want to add to dinner. Its much simpler now to buy meat eggs and butter!

[@LauraSpath]

So true! Not to mention the waste of half that produce in my house when no one ate it!!

[@trishhanning5537]

Gotta try it!! I’m keto but very interested!

[@LauraSpath]

Both can work for a lot of people, it just depends on you and your goals!

[@kimberlycostello3198]

Give it a chance. Game changer!

[@AnnaG121]

Everything you listed here is spot on. I thought I would miss the cauli mash and broccoli bites and all the other “keto creations” I was concocting in the kitchen. I don’t even like to cook!!! Carnivore has helped to simplify my life and all the decisions revolving around food in my life now. Helps that I have a keto grill master husband, too! Yay meat!

[@Derekforeal]

The past 6 months I was on and off with keto and carnivore and still feeling inflammation. At the beginning of the month I went straight carnivore. So far so good.

[@suzanahas4740]

@@T-aka-T no high cholesterol? I am very new here and still fighting some meat prejudices..isn’t gout a danger ? Or some kidney problems from too much protein?

[@danhaas8310]

What works for me is Keto- vore. Mostly meat but here and there fresh green beans from the garden. A salad with a meal(lettuce,fresh tomatoes,Sunflower nuts, Red cabbage Olive oil/vinegar dressing), sometimes broccoli. Just one thing with the meat and not every day. No such things as a piece of pie. If I have one piece it sets me off then I will have half a pie. Same for a candy bar, a brownie etc. I am better off to have nothing. Just a good .750 lb. Burger, 6or 7 chicken legs, 1lb. steak etc. Keto alone didn't do it. Keto-vore is much closer.

[@sweetheart2374]

Thank you for sharing! I've been low carb/keto since January 2020. And it helped me shed 70 pounds in about 8 months. But I find myself stuck with horrible constipation issues and no further progress. Also noticed after I eat salad I bloat horribly . I'm definitely going to try to go carnivore and see if it helps me at all.

[@beardumaw24]

Follow Dr Ken Barry, he said to eat more fat for that issue.

[@sweetheart2374]

@@beardumaw24 actually I've switched to carnivore and solved all of my issues!! Thanks for the reply! 😊

[@midnightriot2454]

I'm on Keto, and what makes me mad, the amount of people that tell you these "replacement" foods taste good, like cloud bread, it's goddamn DISGUSTING

[@karihannum2130]

I can so relate to you! I started Keto in May of 2020 and I was doing OK. My cravings went way down but I still wanted the artificial sweeteners and keto approved snacks. I started Carnivore in July just before my birthday in August (All steak and no cake). I don't have cravings for sweets anymore. I am finally off of soda and energy drinks. My gut is healing. I am so much better off with the simplicity of Carnivore. What's for dinner? Meat. Thanks for the video.

[@taradodson8097]

I love your videos. I so relate to the moderation problem. Thank you for the transparency.

[@BR-gz3cv]

Appreciate your insights! I envy those who can switch to carnivore overnight!! Not me… After a rough first week going carnivore- nausea, low energy, constipation (painful yikes), and drastic 5% weight loss (I’m already lean), I’ve dialed it back and going Keto to slowly transition to carnivore. It’s not the diet- it’s my body. I’ve eaten the traditional garbage western diet my whole life and like an idiot, thought I could just quit cold turkey overnight without side effects!! Wrong!! Sadly realizing I’m more addicted to sugar/carbs than I thought- so going from 53 years of sugar/starches/processed food to zero took its toll! It took me 6 months to get in proper shape for my first Ironman, I understand that some things take time. I’m not giving up- instead backing off the carbs over time with a keto approach. Depending on how I feel, i hope to be full carnivore within 60-90 days. I WANT to be full carnivore but my body’s shock response really hit hard and it was miserable- also made everyone around me miserable! Maybe others have taken a similar path?

[@maureenforlani2049]

Thank you so much for all your info. It's so great to listen to you and how you are helping so many people! Keep up the great work and the great videos. Love them. All the best. . . . .

[@czausz]

Hi Laura. I feel exactly the same as you do on this keto diet. I have been on this for only three weeks. I certainly have seen nothing positive yet. I seem to feel crummy on this diet. I have listened to a few different doctors about their opinions on keto. Wow! I didn't think this was rocket science! LOL. Give me a break! I understand, one size does not fit all. The more I listen to several different doctors about this keto, the more I get confused. I have not lost any weight, including water. I do the omad. I feel better when I don't eat anything. I fast every day for 20 or more hours. I will stay on this for one more week, which was my plan in the first place, then I will switch over to carnivore. I started this diet to get and feel healthier. No such thing yet. Thank you for this video. I have watched many videos by steak and butter gal. I think her name is Bella. Bella gained 25 pounds when she started the carnivore diet, YIKES! I hope and pray that does not happen to me. I have not heard of anybody else who gained weight when they switched from keto to carnivore. Oh well, I will just have to try it, and hope for the best! Thank you.

[@TerryOCarroll]

Lot of good points here, certainly reflects my own experience

[@chaotic_crafter]

Thank you for this; it really helped. I too am someone who can't just eat one... I was kinda experimenting with carnivore, but 'falling off the wagon' because of that one wee treat. Then noticing a flare in my IBS. So I'm going to do 30 days strict carnivore and see how my body feels.

[@1MogJon]

You are a great advert for Carnivore....you and Chris look amazing on it.

[@PoetryInHats]

Weston Price (very carnivore friendly) explains this all so well. Raw unfermented veggies contain phyto-poisons to ward off pests. There are traditional ways of growing, processing, and preparing all natural foods, including meat.

[@juliesmith4602]

Totally makes sense!!!! I love your videos! I am on the edge of going carnivore for all those reasons.....Been keto since Jan 2019. Try to do one meal a day. I like variety on my plate and I love to cook, two big reason I haven't gone full carnivore. However, all the things that you said in your video are true....to many choices, and that will cause me to go off track sometimes.

[@CalmVibesVee]

I encourage you to try carnivore (non cheese version) to at least see what it teaches you about how much protein your body needs. It taught me a lot and enabled me to fine tune my version of keto to an even better way and lost 10lbs last year that i didnt think i could being 50. Im holding steady at 125 easily and strength training. Going carnivore for 4 months last year helped me find a version of beef protein centered keto that has really helped me. If my health goals needed me to be meat only i would but my better ketovore now is meeting goals. My experiment with carnivore helped my ketosis plan.

[@shellydickinson8598]

I have really been enjoying your journey and your vids. TY. I plan to go Carn as soon as we move this week. With Keto I just didn’t lose weight - and maybe that’s bc I had too many carbs, IDK. But I never understood (and was stressed by) how to figure out all the macros and all. It was too confusing for me and I simply don’t want to to that. Carn sounds very doable. And I’m the type of person who if I see results it will keep me going. I’m extremely hopeful 😁

[@tiangel33]

Everything you have said on this video rang so true to me. I have been on keto for over a year and was stressing about what to eat, and managing my macros. I am slowly switching over to carnivore. Technically I am ketovore now but I feel better when I am just eating meat. Just subscribed 😊

[@chizobaazubogu1844]

I love this!!! Finally a video with a lifestyle that is so me! Thanks!!! Definitely starting the Canivore Diet this June

[@nissanicole8136]

Thank you for your recommendation of the Otto grill and Cinder from a previous video of yours. I love both and make preparation easier! ❤️

[@sylvia9344]

Why do you like having both? I have the Cinder but kinda wish I would of went with the Otto, seems a little more versatile.

[@nissanicole8136]

@@sylvia9344 I’m in the Midwest and I’m not a fan of grilling in freezing weather. I use them depending on the weather. I think the Cinder keeps the meat extremely moist...the Otto gives a Smokey flavor. I did get the Meater probes to use the Otto so I don’t overcook the meat :)

[@LauraSpath]

I love both of them for those reasons too! Just depending on if I want to cook inside our outside. The 2 combined is magic but I don't do it that way often because then you need both grills. I am so glad you love them!!

[@LizzyHen50]

Great video and message - you do you. I enjoy keto with an animal base because I enjoy the planning and creativity. But when I need simplicity - e.g. being on the road - carnivore works for me. Four burger patties - easy. Keep the videos coming!

[@tangomcphearson74]

This was excellent Laura! I've been Keto for awhile but right now i'm doing a 30 day carnivore challenge - I'm finding it interesting - but only just finished my first week. I like the simplicity - I don't like the thought of never making anything that is a special thing (recipe) that I enjoy. For instance. I LOVE my chia pudding . But, I am determined to follow a really clean carnivore diet for the rest of the month to give it a fair chance.

[@Goldenxo90]

Wow your results are amazing

Thank you for this video, Laura. I am the same. I obsess and go to the extreme, Carnivore absolutely simplifies life. Especially when you have kids, pets and full time jobs.

I just started carnivore at the beginning of the summer, and I think I miss watermelon and blueberries the most. I am coming from a mostly vegetarian diet. It has taken a couple of weeks for my digestion to regulate itself, but I still have moments that are mildly unpleasant, but they don't last long and they do not happen often. I have lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks and have not have any indigestion or heartburn since I started.

[@jonathanmicday1620]

Both "Keto and Carnivore are wonderful but carnivore is for me for life. I did Keto for 2 years with great results and then Carnivore from the last year with super greatest results. For now I got so much joy with this carnivore diet. Get the best one for you.❤
