Lessons Learned From My First Year on Carnivore

[@TheCarnivoreCure]

Congratulations ! I just hit 13 months carnivore and it has changed my life! i started at north of 715lbs i was stuck in the house for over 2 years and i was on home oxygen 24/7. i had congestive heart failure, reactive airway disease, depression, anxiety, lymphedema, and many other issues. ive lost 262lbs so far, i have my mobility back, im off oxygen, and off all meds, my depression and anxiety is completely gone. everything has healed and is either 95% to 100% healed! A literal answer to prayer ! i love hearing people changing their lives with carnivore too. Keep up the great work!

Did keto for a couple years, lost 80lbs, reverse dieted with carbs and gained it all back over the course of a year. I’ve been clawing my way through IIFYM, addicted to sugar and caffeine, just not functioning great. I finally got tired of it and said I’d finally do world carnivore month. Heavy protein for me and currently still about 3 meals a day, but boy do I feel amazing. Sleep is deeper, no brain fog, no mood swings, blood sugar is stable. Gonna keep it going! Great video, Jenny. Thanks!

[@JennyMitich]

That’s amazing!! I’m glad you’re having such great results 😀😀😀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The protein tip is gold. I"m going to raise my protein. I've been managing my menu for years but have been lower carb for a couple years and total low carb for a year. I have been moving to more and more carnivore and am currently around 80-90% carnivore but my protein levels need to be higher. I got so many great tips from you tonight I don't believe it! Thank you so much.

[@JennyMitich]

Hello, and I’m so glad this video was helpful! Raising my protein intake was probably one of the best decisions I made last year👍🏻

[@stanrobertson]

Don't forget to include fatty meat - a lot of people think it is just about protein.

Yes mam! I was floating in a sea of BS until I came across Nina Teicholz. That girl did her homework, presented high level evidence based research and was attacked by the "Medical Industrial Complex" for not saying what they wanted her to say. Nothing more upsetting than telling the truth nowadays.

[@JennyMitich]

Right??! It’s insane!

[@trotskyite1]

Have you read Seth Yoder's review of her book? Very interesting

[@stanrobertson]

​@@trotskyite1Nina Teicholz addresses his points on her website - he only found minor technicalities with her references and she corrected them for the paperback edition and has a correction sheet to download for those who bought the paperback version.

Hi there, After nearly five years of carnivory, l found that dairy was not my friend either. Most days l have two meals, a blend of grass fed beef/liver/heart slow baked in tallow, topped with pastured egg yolks and raw butter. And bone broth from pastured chicken . This year l am adding 4 oz of sardines in water because of the omega 3 content. I'm a recovering vegan and l feel my new body every day . I appreciate your comprehensive non emotional presentation.🍖🥚🥚🍖🍖

I started carnivore on July 26, 2023. I used a Dexcom CGM I got from my doc as a sample just to try it. It was fascinating seeing how different foods affected me. Anyway, fast forward to yesterday, I weighed 197. I’m 45, 6’1” and haven’t been 197 in probably 20 years. I still have a little more to go, but overall I absolutely love this way of eating even though I mostly find it boring. It is super easy for me. I did a video on my channel back in December, and wanted to compliment you on the way you present. You do a really good job!!!!

Sticking to very very low carb, No dairy or gluten,and veggies…only certain ones, has worked great for me so I’m glad you mentioned that it’s not the only way.And I had a lot of health problems not 100% but I feel a whole lot better. If I cheat I pay big time.I don’t have a huge weight problem would just like a flatter belly, but I do have auto immune issues amongst other things. And I’ve had low blood sugar hypoglycemia since I was a kid. I guess three boxes of sugar cereal,And lots of antibiotics in the 60s and 70s didn’t do me much good. Great video good for you!

My “Carnivore Philosophy”: 1. Keep the ROUTINE. 2. Enjoy the EXCEPTION. 3. If you’re metabolically healthy, occasionally enjoying a non-Carnivore meal is not going to throw you off. 4. Your system will recover. 5. You may experience certain expected negative effects the next day, but they will be temporary & passing as you resume your Carnivore daily routine.

Great information! Love how well you cover things, easy to follow and understand. Could you do a video on some of the 'odd' or surprising great side effects of going carnavore. Large and small, those that were unexpected and maybe not discussed by others. Please put in a word at LMNT that some of us would love to try their flavors however, Stevia gives us diareah! Doesn't take a lot. Wish I could use them. Allulose is a better choice for most of us Stevia reactives. TY! keep up the good works!

Yes, it’s the addition of food that I want to break with this diet. And I’m going to stop using artificial sweeteners cz I think it’s stopping the weight loss. I also noticed that on no diet , I wake up with my tummy already bloated but on carnivore , I wake up and touch my tummy’s and waist and it feels like it went down and flattened.

My natural sleep cycle is vampire. I have tried so many times to be a daytime early-to-bed type and it does not work at all for me. My energy cycle always goes up when the sun goes down and stays high until around 2 am. I get 7-7.5 hours of sleep every night unless something else gets in the way (just had an annoying cold that made me sleep longer). Due to a subpar surgeon, I can never eat veggies again unless it is something like peanut butter so carnivore is going to be how it is for the rest of my life. I could eat the starches but I know what they do to me, energy rollercoaster and endless hunger.

I just want to say that eating this way will also increase muscle tone and size WITHOUT picking up weights (I don't mean you will look like Arnold) so if the scale is going up, just know the protein you are eating is repairing and toning your WHOLE BODY. But you can't see that if you have a good layer of fat covering it.

I was doing electrolytes as well and drinking water but also I noticed for as much as I was eating my glucose would be way down after a few hours. Like hypoglycemic mode. I am again now retrying it doing my LMNT in mornings and throughout the day and I feel better more so this time around as far as energy levels but I am very intuitive with my body and still am noticing within my body that my sugar levels are going down again. I do check ketones an glucose with my meter every 3-4 hours or so. My protein is at 164 and fats 127

I don’t eat just beef, I also have chicken, pork, some fish. I don’t think I eat enough. Maybe2 eggs in morning and a pork chop at night. I haven’t given up my 1 cup of coffee in the morning and my 1 glass of wine at night. Can’t give those up right now, because I don’t want to. I am trying to incorporate some exercise. I am 71 years old and pretty sedentary. I do feel a little better and I have lost 10 pounds this first month. I am going to try adding more beef and less chicken. Hoping my body heals and 1 year from now I have a better understanding of what works for my body.

How exactly can you not get enough protein if all you eat is meat?

[@JennyMitich]

Very easily it seems, I was focusing on eating high fat cuts of meat, and there were a lot of days I was not getting my minimum protein goals met because of that.

[@LeahPP]

Were you on a caloric deficit?

[@patriciacrawford6435]

I would love to see someone address getting enough protein on carnivore when you have a gastric sleeve. A reduced appetite paired with a 12-ounce stomach capacity. Oy.

[@JennyMitich]

Hello! That’s a great question. I don’t have any experience with that, but, you could try adding a high-quality protein powder.

[@patriciacrawford6435]

@@JennyMitich Thank you. That sounds like an easy fix.

Im still trying to get my wife on a carnivore lifestyle. But looks like Im going to have to get her started off on a more keto way and gradually get her to carnivore. I use the medilax dual monitor for my Glucose and Keytones. I may switch to Freestyle since they sale the glucose monitors over here. My favorite LMNT flavors are the Mango Chili, Watermelon Salt and Orange Salt... Tried the chocolate and it just turned me off. Sadly, LMNT no longer ships over here to the Philippines and the local version of Amazon here (Lazada) charges almost twice the cost for it. Even though when I wrote LMNT they informed me that the sellers on that sight are not authorized sellers but they cannot stop them from reselling. So I am on a quest to find good electrolytes here. Right now I am doing a 48 hour water fast with one serving of beef bone broth. Tomorrow, its steak day.... lol

Greetings from Malaysia, it's tough trying to get carnivore stuff here especially electrolytes. Perhaps I have do DIY.

[@LoveyourLife-1970]

@@silvamaney8897 LMNT sent me the instructions to make it. But I find it hard getting the ingredients here that are of quality. I also tried Insaltd mango, which is as good as LMNT, but they do not ship here either. Luckily there is lots of meat here and I am able to get imported USDA beef by the slab.

[@silvamaney8897]

@@LoveyourLife-1970 Thank you for responding, do you have carnivore community support in Philippines?

[@LoveyourLife-1970]

@@silvamaney8897 Not really, there are a few over here but the majority of Filipinos in my area cannot afford to go carnivore. Beef here is as expensive as it is in the US but the average Filipino worker makes about 500 pesos a day in the provinces. Not many of my fellow immigrants here are into carnivore way of eating except for a couple that just got into it. I assume that in Malaysia they are a bit more health conscious. How is it over there?

Can anyone out there help me with this issue that I’m having… This is my second third go around starting carnivore which I really want to do it I don’t have an addiction to carbs I don’t have that issue. I do have celiac disease and gluten intolerance so I’ve learned to stay away from a lot of different stuff and I really wanna do this carnivore, but every time I started three days and I’m living literally living in depends and can’t leave my house😢😢 Any ideas is very welcomed.❤

[@JennyMitich]

Hello! I would recommend lowering your carb intake gradually. Drop it to 100 g, and then 50 g, and then 20 g. Then, your body will have more time to get adjusted to this way of eating. What’s you’re experiencing is a pretty extreme carbohydrate withdrawal, and if you give your body time to get used to lower carbs, you won’t have as extreme of a reaction.

Technically yes, but in practice it doesnt have the same effect on me as cheese or heavy cream.

[@BrookieBear143]

@@JennyMitich ah, gotcha. Congratulations btw! My husband and I just started about a week ago, but going through some uncomfortable oxalate dumping. We came from a clean keto way of eating, so lots of spinach, almond flour, berries, nuts 😬 But excited nonetheless! Thanks for the inspiration!

Is that LMNT stuff actually carnivore friendly? I know you have to watch out for "natural ingredients" in the electrolyte powders. Anything plant is not carnivore friendly.

[@JennyMitich]

Raw unflavored LMNT is carnivore friendly 👍🏻

Have you tried unpasteurized (and nonhomogenized) dairy? Did you have a problem with that as well?

[@JennyMitich]

I have not tried it

[@anonymousperson6462]

@@JennyMitich it's possible that it could be less inflammatory for you. There's also vat pasteurized milk. With this one, they heat up the milk to 145°F for 30 minutes, then (often) don't homogenize it. Regular milk can be heated anywhere from 158 to 185 (and sometimes those who get raw milk are told to boil it) for a few minutes. The pasteurization destroys/denatures the milk such that the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and good bacteria are no longer bioavailable to you, and the homogenization pushes the cream through tiny holes to make it more "uniform". The result can be many symptoms in those who drink it.

[@JennyMitich]

@@anonymousperson6462 I have heard that before! I have a grass fed farm within an hour of my house, but they sell out of raw milk so quickly that it’s almost impossible to get. But if I could get my hands on some, I would definitely give it a shot.

[@anonymousperson6462]

@@JennyMitich it is possible to get raw cheese (Le gruyere) imported from Switzerland. I haven't tried that one particular brand yet, but I did notice that Amazon and gourmet dash have it. It seems the le gruyere made here is pasteurized. For my cheese, I found natural grocers, and I hear Costco may have it. The family farm I get my milk from is about a half hour away and is known under the name "Hoegger" in Scotland, TX.

[@anonymousperson6462]

One thing I've learned : the liquids you drink should be (at least at) room temperature. Cold water is not good. I've come across being told that 4 times. Your body has to heat that up (if cold), so the end result may make you lose some water (just a tip).
