WHAT TO DO for the FIRST 30 DAYS on my CARNIVORE DIET

[@chillipaha8130]

I have to comment... I don't know you from Adam,but I have to say as a Carnivore and an intermitant faster for several years now... I am so proud of you for making this and all your carnivore videos... many kudos... please do Not stop! You are impacting more than you know... blessings and thank you!

[@OldGuyCarnivore]

Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. Carnivore has transformed me from an old man with health problems into a youthful perfectly healthy "middle aged" man again with a new outlook and purpose. I hope to still be doing this youtube thing when I'm 110. Then I'll be the Really Old Guy Carnivore.... lol

I'm 31, weigh over 300 pounds and have been morbidly obese since i was 16 or 17. I've tried many diets over the years and can't stick with them. With my natural preference for meat over all other foods, I'm hoping this will be one i can stick with.

I'm 46, I'm currently 289lbs (or thereabouts), been morbidly obese as far back as I can remember. I've tried many things over the years that had varying levels of success. I've started carnivore before several times and then fell off the wagon, I've been on again for the past 7 days. This is the best channel I've seen on how to handle the mental challenges of sustaining the lifestyle.

[@keshhan6412]

[@sasquatchhadarock968]

38 years old. Hit 400 lbs first time in my life last week. A switch clicked in my head and I said "enough delusions". Grace of God the algorithm popped up a clip from Jordan Peterson talking about how carnivore diet changed him. I have lousy self-control. Occasionally I tried to give up soda or such but I always go back. The idea of eating lots of crispy water (veggies) has never appealed. This diet? I've never been hesitant to eat a steak. That's one big hurdle removed. The numerous testimonies of significant weight loss gave me hope (I'm only a week in and I am treating my scale with suspicion as I've seen other Tubers recommend). Satiety from meat is real. Ohhhh myyyyy. Thank God my family is supporting me.

I'm 63 years old, and I went cold turkey with mistakes. My first mistake was bacon. I did not know some of them had sugar. Second mistake, too much cheese. Third mistakes, not enough electrolytes. The final mistake is expecting to have support. This is why I can not clean out my pantry.

[@OldGuyCarnivore]

Same for me.The best way for me to get compliance in the house is by example. Once they all SEE the change and benefits, you'll have their interest. 🙏

[@bonnielee7134]

Shoot, I know a solution. Keep your items in a different section, plastic container box, and away from the cupboard with the junk so that you don’t ever have to open that one and see what’s inside and then get tempted by it. The food smells cooking. Well if dinner was around five consistently, I’m sure a game plan could be worked out for that or in expectation of that like go somewhere else, eat till your stuffed so that you are so full that it won’t bother you, play a musical instrument, do a hobby or watch a movie/t.v. or internet to distract you. Go for a walk outside.

[@43painter]

I am very happy to have discovered the Carnivore Diet. Sometimes I think : "If only I had discovered it earlier!" Better late than never ! I am 59 years old now and I have been on this diet for about two months and what I find most miraculous about this diet is that the chronic disease symptoms are slowly disappearing!!! The other day I ate pasta again and immediately the day after, some symptoms of those chronic disease symptoms were back! I got tempted and my body immediately let me know the price for that. Since we are now seeing all kinds of attacks on livestock, farming and the entire food supply systems on a global level, I hope that as a city person, I will be able to buy reasonably decent meat for some time to come ! Supermarkets will of course go along with the artificialisation of our food, because there is huge investment in that now. So we carnivores will have to be increasingly careful about what we buy. Direct from the farmer is obviously best, but the farmers themselves are now also routinely attacked by governments bound by all sorts of agendas of the real power networks a.k.a. globalists.

[@OldGuyCarnivore]

I agree, but fortunately we love our meat and any attempt to deny us would probably cause a revolution..lol. Hopefully there will be swing back to sanity, but keep buying meat and stop buying crap. If enough of us do just that, the supply will rise to meet the demand. When I see the waiting lines at Outback and other steak house chains, I'm comforted.

The down side to this diet, is at 62 I have to workout alone because all my friends are taking too much medication or overweight and out of shape to join me. 😢 Btw I used to only eat chicken and fish before carnivore I HATED steak. Now I crave red meat especially steak and feel better when I eat red meat. Love your advice about eating when when you're feeling hungry. I tried eating twice a day because all the carnivore videos said two meals a day and I was always snacking on pork skins. A voice said eat three times a day dummy, because more fat was giving me the runs. 😂

[@OldGuyCarnivore]

I also workout alone, usually at 5 or 6am (Gym opens at 5). I actually have made some new friends there. Most of my lifelong friends are dead now. Two of them were vegans who used to give me hell about eating meat. Sad because they both died in their early 70's. I eat in a 4 hour window each day. We each have to find what fits.

[@alancoe1002]

Having been on various diets labeled "cave man", "Stone Age", Paleo and Keto, I know the benefits of a carb-free diet. I have also known the benefits of a pure carnivore diet, which I have been able to manage for 10days to two weeks several times. But, as you say, Mitch, there are forces of family and society that fight us on this and I have never gotten to 30 days. Not yet. But you are inspiring me to just keep going, and to be aware of the many ways our efforts can be sabotaged, oftentimes with the best intentions, but mostly, by ourselves . Our old habits of thought. Thanks for the information. I am listening and changing.

[@OldGuyCarnivore]

Alan, I have been on all the different versions of low carb since Atkins. On and off and on again. Up 30 pounds then down 30 pounds. Such is carb addiction. Since carnivore a year ago, I can sense a real difference in the way my machinery works. I wouldn't have believed that just eliminating the last of the carbs could have such a profound effect.

[@KismetWLS]

You're another one that should come back and give us updates. I would never have made it to 70 lbs lost and so many health issues gone or close to gone, without the encouragement of so many other carnivores.

[@phyllischristensen9145]

Same story as above, I have done many, many versions of low sugar/carbs, Atkins, keto, keto/ carnivore. Taken off 50 to 30+ lbs, then lbs back on with SUCCUMBING to cravings! Never reaching total goal of 100+ lbs off. You and fellow commenters here have inspired me to go at it again to get that "final BRAIN switch FROM carb cravings." PSThank you for your slides as they are concise and fantastic. I can SEE success right there on your "whiteboard"😅!!!

I live in a household of 5 people and I'm the only carnivore. The first few weeks were a little rough, when i started. It's been a year and a half and now I don't crave any of the things I shouldn't eat! I rarely think of food at all. I'm down to eating one meal a day and rarely am I hungry!

I just found this video and it is by far the best "starter/beginner" video out there. I loved the no B.S. approach and the simple message to just focus on eating only carnivore whole foods.

Ann, I just took a peek at your channel and saw your curated playlists. I saw all the videos about how to make low carb imitations of foods that we are addicted to that drew you in.

Nurse here and just turned 65. Started carnivore diet 4 days ago and doing IF (have been doing this on and off for over a year).

I have anxiety, sleep issues and skin problems. I noticing all of these are improving even in this short time. Jordan Peterson and his family had amazing success while going carnivore.

Stuff I haven't heard anywhere else. Keeping off the scales is also a great idea. Go with how you feel, not with what a scale says.

First, I went gluten free, then paleo, then keto to ketovore, and finally carnivore. So I never had any transitional symptoms, keto flu, etc. This was not some intelligent grand plan. It was just me figuring things out as I went along. It was also 15 years ago (keto for 15 years with the last 10 being carnivore). There was not much in the way of help to be found online back then. Yep, you never hear a lion saying, "Hmm. I'm not sure if I should have some more antelope meat or not. Let me plug the data into my chronometer so I will know."

[@maradall]

Priming sounds like a great way to make yourself hate meat! Otherwise, most of this advice seems pretty good - best to keep it as simple & easy as possible. My first step - after 46 years of not eating any red meat at all - has been to find out what types of meat I can eat and enjoy. This has involved developing a whole new set of cooking skills, because cooking red meat is quite different from cooking chicken or fish. I've done keto before, but now I am aware of needing to avoid high oxalate foods, which had become my staples. Weaning off these is not quite like weaning off junk/processed food, but it is still a bit of a process. And I totally agree with #11 - this has been my downfall in the past!

Thanks so much for your video, very well done… I did the cold turkey. I don’t think it was my imagination… I felt better, or felt the difference rather in as littlest two days. Definitely the first week… Lost 24 pounds the first month. Had a doctors appointment shortly after and he informed me that I lost 30 pounds but did not like the fact that I was on the carnivore diet. He basically told me that he knew I was going to be fat, he knew I wasn’t going to lose weight, but I needed to go back on a regular diet Because of my cholesterol… So now my cholesterol is improving, and my blood work showed that my insulin resistance is gone… I think I was at 78 before and the latest bloodwork was at 23… Which supposedly is very very insulin sensitive. Anyway close to 40 pounds down now… I’ve been on it 2 1/2 … Months, the desire for bread, pasta, cereals, etc. and highly processed. Carbs is completely gone… Hershey Kisses taste like wax now. I don’t eat cakes and pies, but I do still desire them… And of course, potatoes, vegetables and fruits I could take them or leave them… The sweet tooth is going away. The desire for steak is strong… But the strongest desire is for bacon… And the fact that lard, butter, as well as beef tallow is healing to the body is awesome.

Yes, it is a lifestyle. It usually comes with intentional eating, weight/strength/sport goals, excercise with purpose. No you dont need that much fat.. Dont worry about fat that comes with protein (1g/lb/day). Get enough salts. I added one element at a time and ended up using ALL the tools at the same time. Meat, dairy, excercise, IF, HIIT, good sleep. Based on your current state and control range the tools can be applied to tune your body to your purpose.

[@daveborchard2019]

Thanks for your video about how you started the carnivore diet. I was doing intermittent fasting, one or two meals a day, no snacking before adding the carnivore diet. After adding the carnivore diet, I continued to also do the intermittent fasting. It’s important to try to not eat for about 16 hours, or more per day, so that you can get autophagy hours each day. Autophagy is the process where the bad cells in your body are recycled and replaced with good cells. Autophagy starts after you stop eating for about 13 hours. Autophagy can also help reduce the amount of loose skin that you can have after you lose a lot of weight. I gradually added the carnivore die over about a two week time period. I experienced about a four hour time period of diarrhea as the changes took place in my body to run on ketones. Some people experience diarrhea for a few days. One of the things that makes intermittent fasting and the carnivore diet work do well is the fact that almost all of the hunger sensations that you used to feel, are gone. I threw out a lot of “foods” that I had in my refrigerator that were bad for the carnivore diet, starting with anything that contained high fructose corn syrup. I ate those bad “foods” when I was doing just the intermittent fasting diet, including junk foods like pretzels and potato chips. Since adding the carnivore diet, I no longer eat any of the junk foods. My maximum weight was 246, and I dropped 26 pounds doing intermittent fasting. I’m now in the lower 180’s, sometimes going down into the upper 170’s. I haven’t had that low weight since the mid teenage years, and I’m 68 years old now. I usually weigh several times per day to better track my weight loss journey. I have a scale that communications to an app on my iPhone, which records the weight. What kind of exercise are you doing? I do about six Zumba classes per week. I’ve recently added weight lifting exercises. Thanks again for being an inspiration for the old timers that need to lose weight and improve their health!

[@OldGuyCarnivore]

I do 45 minutes of HIIT (high intensity interval training) resistance training every other day. 6-8 reps 2 or 3 sets and I use enough weight that I can push to failure in less than 8 reps.

[@daveborchard2019]

@@OldGuyCarnivore Thanks for you’re response! Years ago I did HIIT classes, but I found them to be too boring compared to the Zumba classes. Although, HIIT is supposed to be very effective. The Zumba classes also exercise your mind. The choreography matches different points in each song. The choreography isn’t random. So, you have to know what choreography is constantly coming up if you’re doing the Zumba alone or teaching a Zumba class. I started with dumbbell weight lifting with 5 and 8 pound dumbbells, following the Mind Pump KZbin channel.

I started the BBBE diet 2 weeks ago and have been galavanting all over the internet looking for the right information. How to budget, real beef and bacon was just a rare treat for many years. When do I start see the benefits? What should be happening? Do I need to supplement? Today this random Old Guy shows up on my YT feed and I am impressed, with some beginners like me in the comments. Looks like I'll be hanging around, I really like and understand what I found here. One question, how in the heck do I get my fat intake up that high?? All my life fat was the enemy, this is definatly a new learning curve.

[@OldGuyCarnivore]

Thanks for the kind message. How do I get enough fat is an issue I want to address a whole video to. I will get to it soon, but in a nutshell, all food that comes from animals contains the correct ratio of fat to protein. That is how all animals and early humans prospered as they didn't have scales and calculators. An egg contains the exact amount of fat, bacon, fatty cuts of beef like brisket, ribeye, chuck, 73-27 hanburger, etc. also contain exactly the right ratio. That is why this is so easy to do. Just add some fat if you eat lean protein like chicken breast, pork loin, lean beef, etc. Eat dark meat chicken with the skin and you get what you need. I generally add some butter to make up for some of the fat lost in cooking. Better too much fat than not enough. Hope that helps.

[@Tea-nOpals]

Yes, it helped, thank you. One YT carnivor said to add 1 tbsp of butter per egg, and I was thinking that can't be right. I have been adding a bit of butter but worried I wasn't doing this right. Very much looking forward to your 'fat' video.

[@fiskfarm]

The biggest question I have is why lamb doesn't sit at number one. Talk about a fatty red meat. Perhaps it's the price. We raise our own so that's not a barrier here. Lamb roasts,ribs,etc cooked in my Ronco Showtime melts in my mouth. Been eating and enjoying it for about 40 years now so it's a no brainer to just gorge on lamb with beef as my break along with our free run eggs and chicken. Just purchased a pork belly yesterday so that will be new. I'm doing carnivore for cancer, energy, muscle building, testosterone and all around health. At 76 I am amazed by the lies we were brought up on and what those lies have done to all of us. Keep spreading the truth Mitch and all👍😎👌

If I'm not mistaken, lamb is way more popular in Europe than here. Maybe it's Just tradition. Come to think of it I haven't had lamb in quite a while.......

I am not overweight (too much LOL), but because of feeling tired at age 60, I decided to give it a try (30 days ago). It seems completely ridiculous based on the SAD (which is S***), even at 180 pounds, I have lost 5 pounds. Its an awesome video, and even thought I am past the 30-day period, I think its spot-on. I also add corned beef, and other stuff with my hamburger (70-30 fat), and liver, to add flavor to the mix. Its the simplest diet and lifestyle in the world. Tomorrow is day 31, so I will drop the 1-banana (20 carbs) a day that I have had during the first 30 days. Also, I live in the Philippines, so I drink coconut as a form of natural electrolytes.

Great info. I have always done this as an elimination diet, but I'm now looking at it as a long term permenant fixture. This was very educational.

When I was young my dad worked with a guy whose family raised cattle (wasn't really big enough to be what I would think of as a "ranch"). My dad had an agreement with the guy that whenever they slaughtered a steer for their own use he wanted to buy half of it. They already had a good relationship with a local butcher, so it was a very easy way to get great beef at a good price without having to buy a whole steer.
