0:00

All right, all right, all right. We're live as a carnivore

0:01

soldier likes to say.

0:03

All right, all right, all right. How's everybody doing today?

0:10

Great. Yeah, Ruby.

0:12

Good. It's another Sunday

0:14

beautiful weather here. I don't know what you guys is,

0:15

whether it's where you're at, but it's been about 80 degrees.

0:18

Got out and did some walking this

0:18

morning for my walking challenge.

0:22

It's all that got a few steps in.

0:25

But had to get back to the house here so I

0:25

could work on getting ready for the live.

0:30

Anybody else get some walking

0:30

in this morning, Brian?

0:34

No, I did not. Nicole, I don't know.

0:41

I don't know if I sent it to you or

0:41

not, but I started a October step

0:46

challenge for the month of October.

0:49

I've been putting it out on my, on my social media. I put it out to a bunch of people

0:51

to walk at least 8, 000 steps

0:55

a day for the month of October. Oh yeah.

0:58

That's, that's too many steps. No, I just go to the,

1:00

I just go to the gym. I get my lifting and sometimes I'll

1:02

walk on the treadmill on the incline.

1:05

Sometimes I'll go on a walk

1:05

with my husband, but yeah, I, I

1:08

rather lift weights personally or

1:08

ride my bike, take my bike out.

1:13

The average person in just in the day.

1:17

The average person just in a day

1:17

walks about 4, 000 steps anyway.

1:20

So it's only adding about an

1:20

extra 4, 000 steps in your day.

1:25

So I got a thousand and welcome

1:25

my dog with my son Yeah, just

1:30

normal everyday thing here. We're gonna walk probably four

1:32

to four to five thousand steps

1:34

So it's not adding a lot. It's just pushing you a little bit

1:36

farther to get a few more steps in there

1:40

Now some people walk ten thousand twelve

1:40

thousand sixteen thousand steps a day.

1:43

That's that's a lot i'm just pushing for

1:43

eight thousand to ten if personally so

1:50

today's Topic is thriving On the carnivore

1:50

diet and just going to discuss tips,

1:58

tricks, things that we, that we all think

1:58

of that helps people thrive on the diet.

2:05

What do you, what your thoughts are,

2:05

what you're doing personally to to thrive

2:10

and, me personally, I I stick to the

2:10

basics, it's beef, butter, bacon, eggs.

2:15

That's my, my, my basic stuff. And then I will throw in some side or

2:16

side items from time to time to give

2:21

me some variety, like shrimp or salmon.

2:24

The wife cooks chicken once a week. So we get a little bit

2:26

of variety in her diet. So it doesn't get, it doesn't get.

2:30

Boring, not that I ever get bored

2:30

of steak, but these are things

2:32

that I do personally that helps

2:32

me keep thriving on the diet.

2:36

And then of course, we part of fasting

2:36

every couple of weeks, which is, helped

2:40

immensely on, on boosting our metabolism

2:40

and helping us lose some weight.

2:45

Larry, what's your thoughts? So I keep it simple too, but I don't

2:48

go for, I'm like over 190 days in

2:53

now and I no longer go for variety.

2:56

I don't care. I don't miss it.

2:58

I don't know. Eating has completely changed.

3:01

My relationship with food

3:01

has changed so drastically.

3:04

Along with my taste buds that

3:04

I love to just eat ground beef

3:08

and steak with butter and salt. So that's what I do.

3:11

And every now and then I'll

3:11

have eggs and bacon, like more

3:14

of a social thing with my son. I'll have breakfast with

3:16

him by making him breakfast.

3:18

I might make myself to sit down, but

3:18

it's not because I'm craving eggs

3:21

and bacon, which I'm not anymore. I used to love bacon when I started this

3:23

thing, man, that was Bacon was my go to to

3:27

get me through the first month of a snack

3:27

that I could just go to bake whenever I

3:31

wanted to and that was it, but now, and

3:31

so also I took your title differently

3:38

how to thrive on the carnivore diet. And, and what I was thinking of

3:40

is based on the way my body is

3:44

now in my mind, compared to where

3:44

it was on standard American diet.

3:48

I can't see how you could not thrive

3:48

like health wise thriving, right?

3:51

It's not just the, so basically if

3:51

I were to stop doing what I'm doing,

3:55

go back to standard American diet,

3:55

I would no longer be thriving 100%.

3:59

Every day I celebrate thriving

3:59

on this diet, but how do

4:02

carry on, and not get bored. I just don't get bored.

4:05

I don't, I really don't miss that stuff.

4:07

I don't know why I thought I did. And this is the way I started.

4:09

I thought I'm gonna be 30 days and then I'll evaluate. And then I did 90 days.

4:13

And I'm like I'll value it. Then I'll start adding stuff back in.

4:15

Right. I got out over a hundred days and

4:15

I tried adding in roasted garlic

4:20

powder and I did it for one recipe.

4:23

And I was like, and I

4:23

used to love that stuff.

4:26

I was like, I don't really need it. I just like salt.

4:28

And it's so weird because I

4:28

totally planned to reintroduce

4:31

a lot of stuff into my diet. I totally did. But now that I've gotten this far

4:34

down, it's I'm, I don't really want to.

4:37

And. I think that I am thriving on it on just

4:38

a limited diet, keeping it very simple.

4:43

That's the way, that's the way I do it. So I just drink my water and

4:44

I eat my food and I live life.

4:49

Now it's like food is not a major

4:49

entertainment hub of my life.

4:55

And it was, it was like, I planned

4:55

everything, like going out with friends

4:59

was food and going on vacation was food.

5:01

Like I used to plan trips to Disney world. With my son and I would plan out

5:03

restaurants for weeks that we were there.

5:07

Like we were there for 10 days. I'd be planning out what

5:08

we're eating every night. I don't even know.

5:10

Next time we go, we're going to talk about going next year. I don't even know what I'm going to do.

5:13

I'm just going to bring an air fryer,

5:13

put it in my room, make my own stuff,

5:18

because I'll spend time just hanging

5:18

out at the park and drinking water

5:21

and then just come home and eat. I just, I don't know. It's so weird.

5:24

It's so different. You can't really equate the two,

5:26

like the pre, pre diet and post diet

5:31

approach to food, for me anyway. No, I agree.

5:34

I agree. Maybe the title should have been

5:35

more, why we're thriving on the

5:37

carnivore diet, versus thriving,

5:37

but, it you got to create a thumbnail

5:41

to get some people's attention. You got to do what you got to do.

5:44

But I agree wholeheartedly, but I

5:44

think there's some steps that we do

5:47

outside of our normal day to day that

5:47

helps us thrive a little bit more.

5:50

Like when I went on my trip last week,

5:50

went down to the meetup in South Carolina.

5:56

Then I was, how, how

5:56

am I going to do this?

5:59

I'm going to be, away from the

5:59

house, away from the kitchen.

6:02

So what are we going to do? So the first thing I started doing

6:03

was looking for, an Airbnb because

6:06

I knew it would have a kitchen. And it was a good place to take the

6:07

wife for the weekend to celebrate

6:10

our anniversary, but it was also

6:10

just a good place that we could go

6:12

and cook our own food and be able

6:12

to stay on diet and stay consistent.

6:17

So that was, a step I took towards it.

6:19

And then, when we did stop and eat, we

6:19

look for places that we knew we could

6:23

get, cooked food versus processed food.

6:28

Yeah. There's just steps that we all take

6:29

to, to make sure we're thriving,

6:33

no matter where the situation is. Brian, what's your thoughts?

6:39

For me, I really, I use beef as my

6:39

staple, but I do eat other foods,

6:44

but most of my meals are going

6:44

to have some sort of beef in it.

6:47

And there can be a lot of

6:47

variation there, right?

6:50

Different types of steak Chuck

6:50

roast burgers, just doing like

6:54

ground beef, that kind of stuff. So that's a big.

6:57

Part of mine that salt and water, I

6:57

use Redmond salt and then occasionally

7:02

like probably twice a week. I'll have bacon 1 or 1 to 2 times a week.

7:06

I'll have chicken wings. And then maybe occasionally once every

7:08

few weeks, I'll have some sort of pork,

7:12

like some, support shoulder or something

7:12

that I smoke up or something like that.

7:15

So that's, that's what I've been doing.

7:17

So it's on that same theme there

7:17

of, keeping it fairly simple.

7:21

Most of the time with, with beef, salt,

7:21

water, obviously butter, that's about it.

7:28

Cool, cool, cool, cool. I, I should have introduced Nicole.

7:31

This is her first time on the

7:31

live stream and that's my bad.

7:34

I. I get my mindset going at

7:34

it and I don't think so.

7:37

Nicole, I assume everybody knows

7:37

who you are, but you're the

7:40

former fat girl is your channel. You can find her at former fat girl.

7:44

She's got a great channel. She does some really good videos.

7:47

I love some of her reaction videos. If you haven't seen them, you

7:49

should definitely go check them out.

7:52

She's she's definitely an asset

7:52

to the carnivore community, and I

7:55

really appreciate having her on here. Nicole, with that, and I do

7:57

apologize for not doing that at

8:00

the beginning what's your thoughts? Outstanding.

8:04

I was wondering when that was going to happen. Yeah, so I'm not a zero carb.

8:09

I did, I do primarily do

8:09

triple B and E as my staple.

8:13

I primarily eat. Beef. So I went out to dinner or breakfast

8:15

with my folks before they drive back

8:19

to, to dirty Jersey this morning.

8:21

And I had a cheese omelet

8:21

with bacon and sausage.

8:25

So I'm primarily triple B

8:25

and E, but I do have berries.

8:29

I do have avocado. I just added in cashews

8:31

a couple months ago.

8:35

So I'm slowly starting to add. Things back in I'm trying to

8:37

stay between 30 and 50 grams.

8:43

So still low carb. But yeah, so I'm not I'm not zero.

8:47

I started with zero as an elimination. But I have maybe a few months ago

8:49

started slowly adding things back in.

8:53

But yeah, so I still want

8:53

to stay under under 50.

8:57

under 50 grams. And for my ladies in the, in the

8:58

room, I am doing a 30 day experiment.

9:04

I've been doing a lot of digging

9:04

on this with hormones and women

9:07

and carbs and all these things. So that's where the 50 grams comes in.

9:11

So I'm trying to time my, my

9:11

carb cycling around my cycle.

9:17

So I just started, I get closer to 50.

9:20

The first half and then I lower it

9:20

back down the second half and so far

9:25

For me personally, I sleep better.

9:28

I do have more energy. I do have it for me so far.

9:31

It has been working It's only been

9:31

a few a few days but yeah, so I am

9:36

going to do a 30 day, video on that

9:36

on my experience in that but Dr.

9:41

Minnie pelts and a bunch of other

9:41

female hormonal doctors have

9:45

a lot of great videos on that. But for me personally, I

9:46

personally feel better.

9:50

Cycling my carbs around my cycle.

9:52

And that seems to be

9:52

working for me so far.

9:54

I do feel better than I did with

9:54

going very, very minimal carb.

9:59

So personally. As my own experiment, I feel better

10:00

incorporating a little bit more carb

10:05

than I was initially personally.

10:07

But yeah, so that's, that's what I'm

10:07

doing and that's what I've been doing

10:10

and that's been working very well

10:10

for me so far and you're thriving.

10:14

So that's the important thing.

10:17

So let me ask you this. How long have you been.

10:20

On the, the, we'll say the Keto, Keto

10:20

Vored, Carnivore, Keto, Vore journey.

10:26

When did you start this? How long have you been about

10:27

seven, seven, eight ish months.

10:32

Okay. So you've been on it just about

10:33

the same amount of time as I have.

10:35

And how much weight have you lost? Total since going low carb, maybe.

10:41

Maybe 20, but total about 70.

10:45

Okay. Yeah. And so you went through the cycle,

10:47

you started, did you start off keto,

10:51

keto war, and then go carnivore? I started zero.

10:54

Yeah, I started. So the beginning of the year, I

10:55

just, I just slashed, I gradually,

10:58

I gradually decreased though. So that's where people get into trouble

11:00

with the keto flu and all that is

11:03

they just transition too quickly. So it actually took me about 45,

11:05

60 days of fully transition, but

11:09

yeah, I started at zero carb once I.

11:11

Landed there and I stayed there for

11:11

maybe a handful of months and then

11:17

I started feeling good and all that. So I started adding, I started

11:19

with berries and then a little

11:23

while later I added avocado. So I, I gradually added in and I gradually

11:24

went to zero, but yeah, I started zero.

11:30

And then slowly added a

11:30

few things back, back in.

11:33

And for me, I feel better adding

11:33

in the minimal carbs than I did

11:37

when I was zero carb personally. And like I said, I'm doing research on

11:39

women's hormones and I think it does

11:43

play a role in that with our estrogen

11:43

levels and progesterone and all that.

11:47

But personally, I feel, I feel like I'm

11:47

thriving a little bit more than zero carb,

11:51

but zero carb is a perfect elimination

11:51

diet because you truly get a sense on

11:56

what things and what foods affect you

11:56

and how once you get rid of everything.

12:01

The first couple of things I tried

12:01

adding in like pineapple and peanuts.

12:04

Yeah, that was a no go. So like you really know how

12:06

foods affect you once you get

12:08

rid of them for a period of time. So that's, that's what I was toying with.

12:11

I started adding in pineapple and

12:11

peanuts and stuff, and that just

12:15

does not do well with my digestion.

12:17

So what I'm doing now works great.

12:19

It doesn't affect me. But I don't think I'm going

12:21

to add anything else back in. I think I'm pretty

12:23

comfortable where I'm at.

12:27

So that's an interesting point is,

12:27

people bring it up all the time.

12:29

Do I have to eat this way for the rest of my life? And my answer is no, no, you don't have

12:31

to eat this way for the rest of your

12:35

life, but you've eliminated everything.

12:38

And then you can add stuff back in. You're going to know rather quickly

12:39

whether or not you can handle it or not.

12:44

And some people may stay this way. Some people like this way.

12:46

I have no issues with the carnivore diet. I love eating this way.

12:49

My wife is more keto vor. She adds a little bit

12:51

of stuff into her diet.

12:54

She's primarily meat based, but

12:54

she still has, a few things outside

12:58

of that, which is perfectly fine. And I think that's an important thing for

12:59

people understand you got to get there.

13:05

And then once you're there, you

13:05

can make a decision on where, what

13:07

you want to do from that point. Once you've lost the weight, reached

13:09

your goals, and then you're looking at

13:12

something, it's not like everything in

13:12

the world's bad for you, it's just a

13:16

matter of, of figuring out what your

13:16

body can handle and cannot handle Larry

13:21

got any thoughts yeah, back to what you

13:21

were talking about thriving and planning.

13:26

That's very important too. So I agree with that completely

13:27

when you going on trips.

13:29

So like my son, I dropped him off at a

13:29

birthday party today and he's carnivore.

13:35

And so we planned this morning

13:35

okay, you're going to go there.

13:37

He's going to have a little cake. I'm like, just eat a small piece

13:38

of cake, minimize your frosting.

13:41

I said, but if they have pizza

13:41

and stuff, what's your plan?

13:44

He goes I'd like to just eat a big

13:44

breakfast and then a snack before I leave.

13:47

That's a good plan, so loaded him up on.

13:50

Eggs with butter and sausage,

13:50

and then, he just loaded up right

13:54

before I drove him over there. So he's not hungry at all.

13:56

He won't want any pizza. And that's that's a big,

13:58

especially going into holidays.

14:01

This is huge guys because. There's a lot of social pressure on

14:03

eating when you go, for me anyway,

14:08

there always has when you go to

14:08

Christmas things or Thanksgiving

14:12

things or Halloween coming up. And if you prep, right, it becomes super

14:14

easy to just say no, or just pick and

14:20

choose what you eat and not be tempted.

14:22

So I agree with that. And the other thing you said,

14:24

not everything's bad for you.

14:26

Yes, that's true. Unfortunately, everything in the center

14:28

of the grocery store is bad for you.

14:31

That's pretty much it. As long as you educate yourself

14:33

and that's part of thriving is.

14:36

Becoming a good car or

14:36

becoming better every day.

14:39

1 percent better you hone

14:39

your skills as a carnivore.

14:42

And that includes education. And that means knowing what

14:44

is good for you with that.

14:47

When you look at ingredients and you

14:47

go, oh, this has 5 ingredients in it.

14:51

That's just baseline. But what are those ingredients?

14:54

1 could be dextrose, a hidden sugar. You don't even and just you have to

14:55

actually look now, that being said.

14:59

You can still do this eating not

14:59

super clean food because I have.

15:03

I, I occasionally, if I'm on the road,

15:03

I will stop and get a beef stick.

15:09

I know that's pretty terrible because

15:09

it's, not super clean, but it works.

15:12

It's, it's all relative, right? Compared to the standard

15:14

American diet, a beef stick is

15:17

no big deal every now and then. Educating yourself and honing your

15:19

skills is part of thriving and

15:21

then planning, like you just said

15:21

earlier, John, I agree with that.

15:25

Absolutely. Absolutely.

15:28

Brian. Yeah.

15:31

Yeah, I agree with everything

15:31

that's been said here in.

15:35

I'm certainly not the

15:35

cleanest at carnivore.

15:38

I'm probably the least cleanest

15:38

of everyone here except for maybe

15:42

Nicole because she's really, doing

15:42

some, some fruit and so forth.

15:46

But it still works.

15:48

I'm still doing great with it. And the, the key is that when I do

15:50

eat something that maybe I shouldn't,

15:54

then I, I go back on track right away.

15:58

Right. And, and you don't let that

15:58

spiral out of control or whatever.

16:02

So that's the key for me. I might go out with my wife for,

16:03

for a meal and have something I

16:08

shouldn't have, who knows what

16:08

mashed potatoes, let's just say okay.

16:14

I did it probably shouldn't have,

16:14

but I did it and, and I move on

16:17

and, and I don't look at it as

16:17

I'm already did one thing today.

16:21

So I might as well just keep any mad. No, that that one thing happened.

16:24

And, you get right back

16:24

on track right away.

16:27

So don't, you don't even wait

16:27

until the next day, you just get

16:29

right back on track right away. And I think that's a key to thriving

16:30

on the diet is that we're human and

16:35

we will do things that probably we

16:35

shouldn't in our diets, but we get right

16:39

back on track and then we'll be fine. Resilience, get up when

16:42

you get knocked down.

16:46

So that was I had a live last night,

16:46

just spur of the moment, threw it

16:49

up Intentional Carnivore and Rick

16:49

from Charger Mopar came in and we

16:54

had a just big discussion on, on.

16:57

The difference between a treat, a

16:57

cheat and a defeat, and so it treats

17:02

up and that you do once in a while

17:02

and you treat yourself to something

17:06

you have a piece of cheesecake or you

17:06

have the mashed potatoes, as you said,

17:09

and you get right back on the diet. It's, there's a little

17:11

bit of a treat there. Then, cheating is just

17:13

completely, the opposite mindset.

17:16

I already cheated, so I might

17:16

as well continue doing it.

17:19

And then just lead you down that path

17:19

to where you basically just become

17:22

defeated and you defeated yourself.

17:24

I always recommend you, if you're

17:24

going to do something, do it as a

17:27

treat and then you can back off.

17:29

And then as you, as Nicole's done

17:29

here, she's found a way to thrive

17:33

and to add more stuff back into

17:33

her diet that she can handle.

17:37

And that's, that's a perfect mindset

17:37

to have once you've reached, the

17:41

level that you want to reach. Nicole, you got anything

17:43

you want to throw in there? I'm gonna look through the comments to

17:44

see if there's any questions in here.

17:48

No, just, I I promote and preach

17:48

food freedom on my channel and in

17:52

my, in my business because I don't

17:52

think everyone needs to be zero

17:57

forever unless you choose to be. That's perfectly fine.

17:59

That's everyone's personal choice,

17:59

but I'm a firm believer that.

18:03

You don't, you don't have to stay zero.

18:05

You don't have to, consider having a

18:05

piece of cake, a cheat, or like you're

18:10

a failure because you're off plan. I, I like to think of it as, that's

18:11

life you're living your life.

18:15

You're not going to abstain for these

18:15

foods the rest of your life, unless

18:18

you choose to that's your prerogative. But for me, I feel like.

18:23

The ultimate goal for me was to achieve

18:23

food freedom, not have that addiction,

18:26

not have those binge eating tendencies,

18:26

not feel that guilt and shame after

18:29

eating something, to be able to eat

18:29

something, have a cookie, if I choose to,

18:34

and not feel like eating, like binging,

18:34

or have my cravings through the roof.

18:39

So I put in the work and, and healed.

18:43

For the most part, and that's what

18:43

I like to promote is food freedom

18:47

because it feels good to not have food

18:47

be in complete control of you, right?

18:51

I'm in complete control over what goes

18:51

into my mouth and how I feel about it.

18:55

And personally, I feel like

18:55

that should be the ultimate.

18:59

end goal. Because if you, if you don't have that

19:00

ultimate end goal and you have a piece

19:04

of cake and you feel guilty and you feel

19:04

like crap afterwards, like emotionally

19:07

and mentally, that's no way to live. You should be able to have a bite of

19:09

cake or whatever, just move on and

19:12

feel no feelings at all about it.

19:14

And just, and just. Go right back to eating meat or whatever.

19:18

So that was my goal. And that's what I'm a firm

19:19

believer of personally.

19:22

And that's the message I like to,

19:22

I like to promote because that's

19:25

healthy for your mental, emotional,

19:25

and physical health all around.

19:31

Definitely. Go ahead and Nicole and tell us

19:32

about your business and what you do.

19:35

I don't think we really covered that. Oh, yeah, yeah.

19:39

No, yeah, no big. I don't really talk about it a lot.

19:41

But yeah, so I'm a certified

19:41

nutrition specialist.

19:44

I specialize in emotional eating. So I like to say I help women

19:46

over 40 break free from the

19:50

emotional eating prison. And that's pretty much what I promote.

19:53

I have a 12 week program that's

19:53

called 12 weeks to food freedom.

19:56

And I just promote working on your

19:56

mindset, emotional health nutrition,

20:03

of course, and then, and then movement.

20:05

But yeah, I do specialize in emotional

20:05

eating and, and helping people find

20:09

and achieve what I was able to achieve.

20:13

Outstanding. So you're, you're helping people to

20:15

thrive, on the diet, whether it's keto or

20:20

carnivore, you're still, it's still all

20:20

about thriving and getting through the

20:24

emotion because a lot of times emotions

20:24

will tear down your ability to, to thrive.

20:29

All right. So just real quick, if anybody's

20:30

got any questions, please

20:33

put them in the comments. Please put a cue in front

20:34

of them so I can find it.

20:36

I don't see any questions in here.

20:38

If I skipped over something let me know.

20:41

Post it again real quick. And we definitely wouldn't want to

20:43

be able to answer your questions.

20:47

You got Nicole on here. He's got a great background.

20:49

Brian and Larry, we all

20:49

come from different aspects.

20:52

We have different ways of looking

20:52

at things, but we're all here

20:54

to to promote the diet and help

20:54

everybody succeed and thrive.

20:59

Hey, I'd like to comment real

20:59

quick if I can get a chance to.

21:03

Yeah, go ahead. Yeah. I think again, honing your skills

21:04

as a carnivore is also becoming the

21:08

subject matter expert on yourself. Right.

21:11

And like my son, he's a

21:11

moderator when he eats.

21:15

He's always, always has been. He'd have Halloween candy that I'd throw

21:16

away cause he would never finish it.

21:20

I was never that guy. I was a hardcore sugar

21:22

addict and I still am.

21:26

I'm a non practicing sugar addict. And one thing I would say

21:27

is I would never eat cake.

21:31

because I know my body and I think

21:31

that's something you need to learn.

21:34

Not everyone. A lot of people, it's emotional

21:35

eating a lot of people.

21:37

It's physiological addiction and a

21:37

lot is a combination of both for me

21:42

is probably a combination of both. And so I know my triggers.

21:45

I know how my body reacts to sugar. So I just don't do it.

21:49

And that is part of learning yourself. You have to become your

21:51

own subject matter expert.

21:54

And determine what your boundaries are. And it's not going to be the same

21:56

as John's or Brian's or mine.

22:00

Everyone's got their own. And, but, but you say that everyone

22:01

could have cake on this diet would

22:06

be like saying an alcoholic could go

22:06

have a drink with me and it'd be okay,

22:10

and it's really not because they've

22:10

determined that they lose control.

22:14

When they introduce alcohol

22:14

and some people will, I

22:17

would lose control on sugar. I guarantee it. I've done it many times when I was keto.

22:21

That was part of my downfall is the hidden

22:21

sugars in a lot of the quote unquote keto

22:25

foods out there that really triggered me.

22:28

And then I fell off multiple times.

22:31

This is the only diet I've been able to sustain and not be. A slave to my addiction and it is

22:35

empowering, super empowering to take

22:39

control of your diet and your body. So that's all you can

22:41

regain that power though.

22:44

You know what I mean? You don't have to I was a binge eater.

22:47

I was a sugar addict. And like I said, I went to therapy and

22:48

I, and I put in the work to, to recover.

22:53

And I can now, we have

22:53

ice cream in the freezer.

22:55

Cause my husband buys

22:55

you Snickers ice creams.

22:57

I'm not even tempted to eat them. The old me, I would

22:59

eat the whole damn box. But I'm just saying.

23:03

Not, not everyone has to abstain.

23:06

Yeah, it's a crap ton of work and it sucks

23:06

putting in the work, but ultimately you

23:12

do have the ability to regain control. I'm a firm, I'm a firm believer of that.

23:16

That path to do that just looks different

23:16

from person to person and how you, how

23:21

you come to that, to that end point,

23:21

the journey there just looks different.

23:25

But I'm a firm believer

23:25

that it is achievable.

23:33

Brian? Yeah.

23:38

1 thing that kind of a soldier

23:38

said was that he knows he's not

23:42

going to eat a piece of cake because it's going to trigger him. There are certain foods that I

23:45

would be the same way with cookies.

23:50

It would be a big thing for me. I don't know why, but cookies like

23:52

if I have 1, I can't just eat 1.

23:56

So that's something I'm

23:56

going to stay away with.

24:00

But so I know that there are

24:00

certain things that I need

24:02

to stay away from, right? But there are certain things like

24:04

mashed potatoes that I'll have every

24:07

once in a while or rice or something

24:07

that I will have every once in a while.

24:10

And I know that I'm okay. I can do that and I can just go right

24:11

back to what I was doing and I'm fine.

24:15

So for me, and everybody's already been

24:15

saying, it's different for everyone.

24:19

But for me, I have learned over time here.

24:22

What? What foods I really need to stay away

24:23

because they're going to trigger me.

24:28

All right. We ran around that a couple of times. I think we've established ourselves on it.

24:32

Larry, what do you got going on this week? Got a live stream Wednesday,

24:35

which is my update meetup.

24:41

And then Friday, I've got an interview.

24:44

I can't remember who I'm interviewing for.

24:46

I have a Friday interview that'll

24:46

be published during the week.

24:48

And then I'm probably going to do a I did

24:48

a post on my YouTube channel on how to do

24:53

BBB for a single person for 175 bucks a

24:53

month, just getting pricing off Walmart.

25:00

And I'm probably do a video around

25:00

that where I do a deep dive.

25:03

It's not a dietary

25:03

recommendation or anything.

25:05

It's just basically showing

25:05

that you could live on between

25:09

1500 and 1700 calories a day.

25:12

For 175 bucks a month, just

25:12

by going to Walmart using BBB.

25:16

That's all it is. So when people talk about it

25:17

being, Oh, it's too expensive.

25:20

Not if you're eating, not if you,

25:20

not if you just plan it, it's

25:23

cheaper than the sad, for sure. The standard American diet is

25:25

way more expensive than that.

25:28

And so I might, I might do a little

25:28

video on that and just expand on a

25:32

little bit just to give people hope.

25:35

And, everyone, I don't know how about you guys. I always hear that.

25:37

I always hear that in all the

25:37

forms and all the questions.

25:40

It's so expensive. It can be if you're eating ribeye

25:41

every day, but I don't I eat ribeye

25:44

twice a week, maybe so if you're doing

25:44

ribeye every day, yeah, it's really

25:48

expensive and But I don't so I don't

25:48

I don't have to can you find less

25:54

than 80 20, ground beef in walmart.

25:56

I've been hearing a lot of people saying

25:56

that they can find 80 70, what is it?

26:00

73, whatever ground beef at Walmart.

26:03

I have a hard time sometimes finding

26:03

even 80, 20 it's either 93 percent

26:08

lean or, or 80 in my grocery store.

26:12

So I do add butter to mine all the time,

26:12

so I don't really care because I'll just

26:17

because butter is a high quality fat. Right? So I always add butter, but

26:19

the tube that I was look, I was

26:22

targeting is a 73 27 10 pound roll.

26:27

Damn. You can order them online and pick it

26:28

up there or whatever, you don't have to,

26:31

but anyway, so they have a 10 pound roll. They're 32 bucks for 10 pounds.

26:34

You buy three of those, right?

26:36

You got 90 pounds. 30 pounds for a hundred bucks.

26:40

So that's a pound of beef a day. Then you add butter to it then, then you

26:42

add the way my, my menu was, is basically

26:47

a pound of beef, four eggs and two slips,

26:47

strips of bacon plus butter every day.

26:51

And that's a lot of food. That's, that's 1600 calories.

26:55

And you can easily add a tablespoon

26:55

of butter or more to each one

26:58

of those and increase each

26:58

one's a hundred more calories.

27:01

So you could go to 2000. Really easy. Just on that.

27:04

And that is all for less than 200 bucks.

27:06

So yeah, it's very doable.

27:10

Very doable. Yeah. And the reason, Brian, what do going on

27:13

this, the reason I picked Walmart is not

27:16

because I'm a Walmart fan, just 'cause

27:16

everywhere in America has a Walmart.

27:19

So I knew it would be a price

27:19

that someone could relate to.

27:21

That's all I, I don't shop there

27:21

really too often, but I have

27:28

not anymore than I have to. Yeah, yeah.

27:33

We're not plugging Walmart on this channel. No, it's not.

27:36

It's not a Walmart plug. Brian, what do you, what do you

27:38

got going on this week, bud?

27:42

So I have a couple of offline interviews

27:42

that I'm working on this week.

27:46

And I have the Wednesday hump day

27:46

live with carnival carnivore soldier

27:52

that I'll be on on Wednesday. Thursday I have another live, it's

27:54

the low carb football party live

27:58

that Greg and I have been doing

27:58

and I got it right this time.

28:02

Not last week. So if you haven't seen that was

28:05

the best blooper right off the bat.

28:07

Anyway No, I haven't seen it. Oh, okay.

28:12

Yeah, this is a little far 3

28:18

seconds into, it's we're already live. It's not like it's a recorded thing

28:20

that you can cut out, edit out.

28:23

No, it was right at the start.

28:25

So this is our low farts.

28:33

But anyway, so yeah, so

28:33

that's what I have going on.

28:36

A couple, like I said, a couple of

28:36

offline interviews that are going

28:38

to be scheduled out on the channel. So get back into doing some of those,

28:41

cause I've been doing a lot of lives and

28:44

really wanted to get back to some of the. Prerecorded stuff as well.

28:47

So that's what I got. Nicole, what do you

28:52

got going on this week? Keto Palooza.

28:56

Keto Palooza. That's my birthday too.

29:01

29:03

29:11

Yeah. I'm, I'm flying, I'm flying down.

29:14

Yeah. Down Thursday and I'm

29:14

meeting up with Nurse Kim.

29:18

I don't know if you guys

29:18

know her YouTube channel?

29:21

Mm-hmm. . Yep. So we're going to meet up there

29:22

and go to the conference together.

29:25

She's going to bring her air

29:25

fryer cause she's lives there.

29:27

She's about an hour away and we're

29:27

going to do a YouTube live cook up

29:31

some, fry up some steaks or wings

29:31

and do a mukbang mukbang on stream.

29:37

So yeah, so we have a lot of fun things to plan. I'm also going to vlog.

29:41

So yeah, I don't, I can't

29:41

promise it's going to be good,

29:44

but you will see footage. That's outstanding.

29:50

All right. There's everybody's channels. Make sure you give some likes

29:52

and subscribes if you haven't

29:55

followed Nicole on hers. Give her a like over at former fat

29:56

girl Brian at wick goes carnivore

30:00

Which I think is actually at wiki vore.

30:04

Isn't that what it is? Brian? Yeah and it's at carnivore soldier.

30:07

And of course you're here on mine,

30:07

carnivore backwoods I love these round

30:11

tables because Every one of us has our

30:11

own view of the diet, and none of us are

30:18

afraid to share it from our point of view. And so it gives you guys the opportunity

30:20

to see different perspectives

30:25

all on the exact same subject. We're all thriving, we're all...

30:29

Working towards the end goal of

30:29

being healthier, and stronger

30:33

and more productive in our lives. And we all have different

30:35

ways of looking at it. And that's why I love

30:37

this, this, this forum.

30:40

And I appreciate you guys for being here. I got some questions here.

30:44

I'm going to go find it. Because people complimented

30:44

Brian on the low farts.

30:49

So I just have one thing

30:49

to say about that, Brian.

31:00

Those were pretty low. At least it sounded dry, that's

31:05

one thing about this diet is you

31:08

do have a less quantity of those. They've degraded.

31:14

Alright. We got a question here.

31:17

Has anybody watched

31:17

any keto documentaries?

31:20

If so, what is your favorite? Who wants to go first?

31:25

I can. I've got it. I've got it.

31:27

I posted it below. I have a playlist on my YouTube channel

31:28

where I review documentaries and I

31:32

think I have seven that ever I reviewed. Check that out.

31:35

And my favorites so far have been

31:35

that the documentary and I also like

31:43

a really old 1, which is the 1st 1

31:43

that got me into keto back in the day.

31:48

And that is the magic pill and I

31:48

think a runner up would be like

31:53

that sugar film, which is great. So Okay, nicole.

31:59

I know you've done a lot of reaction

31:59

videos, but I don't know if they're any

32:02

more, you know I never no I didn't So

32:02

I tried to stay away from documentaries

32:08

because documentaries, what the health

32:08

made me go vegan for four years.

32:11

So I've, I've banned

32:11

all food documentaries.

32:14

I'm not going to get tricked again. Understood.

32:19

Didn't you do a movie or do a

32:19

review on a movie called the

32:22

chocolate diet there, Larry? I did.

32:25

And okay, so this one, this

32:25

one you might want to watch

32:28

because this one's really good. Because it focuses on how people make up

32:30

these epidemiological studies that don't

32:37

really have real facts and they make it.

32:39

determine whatever they want for

32:39

their outcome and becomes marketing.

32:43

And so basically what happens is these

32:43

two reporters say, Hey, all these

32:47

epidemiological studies are BS, right?

32:50

We know that. And they're all pointing. And that's why you always

32:51

see these reports like, Oh,

32:54

walnuts are heart healthy. And this is, and all these, they

32:55

all counterdict each other over

32:57

time because they're all fake. They're not based on hard science.

33:00

So they said let's just make up

33:00

our own study, a chocolate diet.

33:04

Where we're going to make this up and

33:04

we're going to make it do what we want

33:08

and we'll see who falls for it and

33:08

publishes it and it went viral and

33:11

got published by major like fitness

33:11

magazine and like major institutions.

33:16

Major papers did it and then TV too.

33:19

They had it. And the whole premise was, yeah, whatever

33:20

diet you're already on, we're just going

33:23

to give you dark chocolate in the morning

33:23

and it's going to improve results.

33:26

And it's totally fictional, totally false. That's not true.

33:29

But they thought if we make this,

33:29

it'll, it'll be, we'll just make

33:32

this, we'll use the exact same

33:32

techniques that the real scientist

33:37

or scientific community uses to make

33:37

these reports that food companies buy.

33:42

And sponsor and we'll just

33:42

use, we won't do anything.

33:45

They don't do we'll,

33:45

we won't make a shady.

33:47

We're just gonna use exactly what they do. And we're gonna make a fake

33:48

report and see who falls for it.

33:50

And everyone did. And then they came out

33:51

and said, hi, I got you. It's viral fake.

33:55

So that's a really good, it's only one

33:55

hour and all my documentaries have links

33:58

to watch them for free in the description.

34:01

So you can go and watch

34:01

it on YouTube or to me.

34:03

And I would definitely recommend that one. It'll make you look at scientific studies

34:05

differently when they're, when they're,

34:10

when they're epidemiological studies,

34:10

which is basically you ask people, how

34:13

many times did you eat oatmeal last year?

34:16

And they tell you how

34:16

accurate do you think that is?

34:18

Right? So this is what they base things on.

34:21

And then on top of that, you could

34:21

also, they also have correlated,

34:25

so that's a correlative study. So they'll say this, this many people

34:26

ate oatmeal and they died, less cause

34:31

mortality rate or ever than people that

34:31

ate meat because these people said they

34:35

ate more oatmeal and these ones didn't. What else is going on in their life

34:36

besides eating oatmeal or maybe people

34:40

eating oatmeal actually exercise? And don't sit on the couch all day.

34:43

Maybe they said you could, you can

34:43

make the same correlative study and

34:46

say people watch HBO are more likely

34:46

to die from a heart attack because more

34:50

people did because that that's just

34:50

correlation, which is not causation.

34:54

So all of these epidemiological studies

34:54

are all correlative, not causative.

34:58

And that's the problem. And it really points

34:59

it out and it's great. So I'm, I'm pretty passionate about

35:01

that in case you guys couldn't tell.

35:05

Cause I've, I believed all those. I'm sure most of you did.

35:08

I believed all that heart healthy BS.

35:11

That's all marketing paid for by these companies. Vegan for years.

35:16

You bought it too. I bought it any other way, I was

35:17

eating all the hard boiled sugar

35:19

food that was out there, right?

35:22

That brings up a good point, and that's

35:22

what we're talking about here today, is

35:27

anybody can say whatever they want to say.

35:29

They can get on and create a channel

35:29

and say what they want to say.

35:32

They can say that you can eat this

35:32

or that, but ultimately, you need to

35:36

really do the research and see what

35:36

they're saying is actually true,

35:39

because there's a lot of diet gurus

35:39

out there on the internet, some of them

35:45

popping up in the carnivore community

35:45

that, that promotes certain ways of

35:49

eating that, that if you do a little

35:49

bit of research into it, you realize

35:51

that that's just completely out there. It's, but it's a perfect example.

35:55

If you say something loud enough, long

35:55

enough, people will start believing it.

35:59

And, and when they get all these, these

35:59

kicks and they go vegan for four years,

36:03

or they, or they get up and they think

36:03

chocolate's going to cure them and they're

36:06

going to have, They're going to start

36:06

losing weight because they're eating that

36:08

one piece of chocolate every morning. But people believe that.

36:12

You, you really got to

36:12

stop and think about it.

36:15

Brian, what's your thoughts? I have not watched, I have not watched

36:19

a documentary, documentary on keto or

36:26

even carnivore or anything like that.

36:28

Really nothing on food to be honest. So yeah, I, I've just never had an

36:30

interest in doing the documentaries.

36:34

I, I do my research usually between

36:34

YouTube and then just other things

36:40

that I look up online and so forth. And there's, there's a couple of.

36:44

Doctors that I have can reach out to

36:44

and ask questions to if I need to that I

36:50

trust that are in the carnivore community.

36:53

So that's what I do. I, I just really haven't

36:54

gotten into documentaries.

36:59

Okay me either. I haven't watched any documentaries.

37:02

I did try to watch a little bit

37:02

of that carnivore series that Dr

37:07

Barry was on, but I, yeah, just.

37:10

It didn't entertain me, so I didn't watch it. Yeah, reverse.

37:14

I tried watching some of that, I

37:14

didn't even finish watching that.

37:18

It just, it didn't, it didn't keep

37:18

me intrigued enough to watch it.

37:22

I like Dr. Barry's videos. I just didn't, particularly

37:23

care for, for reverse.

37:26

So I know a lot of people like it. We've got another question here.

37:30

When with recovering from sugar slash

37:30

carb addiction, what role Do non

37:36

diet practices have like exercise,

37:36

sunlight exposure, is that journaling?

37:43

No. Who wants to start with that one?

37:51

I'll go. Oh yeah, you go. You go.

37:53

I'll go ahead. I always pick on Larry.

37:56

Larry's always somehow makes it in the top of my team. I don't know. I don't know.

38:01

He's always Larry. Go ahead, Larry. Take one for the team.

38:03

Okay. Okay. So here's the deal. You're not in the top box anymore.

38:07

Huge fan of non scale victories

38:07

because listen, I lost since

38:12

March 22nd, I've lost 46.

38:14

280 to 234.

38:17

And that's not not 46 pounds

38:17

of fat, way more fat than

38:21

that, because I put on muscle. And I've put on bone

38:23

density, I guarantee you.

38:26

My whole body morphology, it just

38:26

changed my, my body mass index.

38:30

Everything's changed. But, and that's great, but the

38:31

non scale victories in the mental

38:35

issues, because mental health has

38:35

completely changed for me exercise.

38:40

I don't really exercise a lot. I walk a lot.

38:44

I do occasional band exercises.

38:48

I don't have a gym membership, so I

38:48

lift with elastic bands and That's it.

38:54

And I put on muscle like

38:54

back to where I'm athletic.

38:57

I do sprint every now and then now because

38:57

I just feel and it feels awesome because

39:00

I couldn't run for the longest time son.

39:03

I do walk and I walk barefoot.

39:06

I like to do the grounding thing. So I walk my dog barefoot in

39:07

the morning and I usually do

39:09

it at sunrise to get the sun. I love that.

39:12

And I think that's part of your

39:12

mental and physical health.

39:15

So also journaling. So my journaling has been through

39:17

this channel pretty much documenting

39:21

myself and, taking pictures

39:21

and, doing that kind of stuff.

39:24

So that's my journaling, but

39:24

definitely recommend that.

39:27

And I have a planning guide that I set up.

39:30

It's available on my

39:30

website, carnivoresoldier.

39:32

com and that planning guide. I do have.

39:36

Metrics you can check once a month

39:36

when you start this diet, and

39:40

none of them are scale related. Everything is, what's

39:42

your sleep quality like? Do you wake up in a good mood?

39:45

What's your, are you reading more? Are you, getting sunlight?

39:49

Are you being outside? Are you spending time with friends? Are you listening to good music?

39:51

These are things that... When I isolated, I didn't

39:53

do so much so well.

39:56

And now I've incorporated back to my life. So I think that, yeah, recovering

39:58

from sugar and carb addiction, that's

40:04

that these are part of that for sure.

40:07

And like I said, then also self

40:07

reflecting and learning your triggers

40:11

and learning your limitations. And, setting healthy boundaries.

40:16

Yeah. So when I first started the diet, I,

40:17

I started walking, cause that was the

40:24

first thing that, you know, that, hit

40:24

my, one, I got all this extra energy

40:27

and I need to expend it somewhere. So I started going to lunch.

40:30

Instead of eating lunch, I would just

40:30

go out and I'd walk a track over at

40:35

a park that was near my work, and I

40:35

started getting in a lot of walking.

40:39

But that went for the first couple months,

40:39

but then as soon as the weather and the

40:43

humidity moved in and it started turning

40:43

into soup weather, I stopped walking.

40:47

So I haven't walked all summer. This is the first time

40:49

I've been back out walking.

40:52

Was starting this up, this

40:52

step challenge for October.

40:55

I don't do any other exercises and I

40:55

didn't do exercises to lose weight.

40:59

I just simply did it for, for, my mental

40:59

health because, just getting out in

41:03

the sun and walking is good for you. As for sunlight exposure,

41:05

everybody claims that you can't

41:10

get sunburned as a carnivore. You hear it from a lot

41:11

of different people. I went out and intentionally

41:13

tried to sunburn myself and.

41:16

I, I couldn't do it. And, and, I, I've been a big

41:17

fat white guy for a long time.

41:20

So we not take my shirt off. Everybody knows it.

41:23

And I was out there and I, I was able to

41:23

get a little bit of tan, but I couldn't

41:26

sunburn myself, which was totally crazy. So I, I did get a lot of sun exposure

41:28

all summer long when I could.

41:33

And I think it helped my

41:33

overall well being Brian,

41:36

what, what have you been doing? Yeah.

41:40

The first thing is I, I don't think

41:40

personally that exercise is needed to

41:45

lose weight, but I think it helps in

41:45

feeling healthy because I think it's very.

41:51

Good for you, and it doesn't have to be

41:51

like a specific oh, I'm doing exercise.

41:56

It's just being active, right? Being active doing things, not

41:58

always sitting like I have a desk

42:01

job and then I tend to sit here

42:01

and do YouTube videos and so forth.

42:04

So I'm sitting a lot. I need to keep reminding myself

42:05

to get up and be more active.

42:08

Right? To me, I think that that's big.

42:11

That yeah. That helps, with, with just

42:11

working your muscles and so forth.

42:14

And I think it helps to get some of the

42:14

inflammation out just by being active.

42:18

And so forth I really believe in sunlight

42:18

and getting as much sun as possible

42:24

for your vitamin D instead of doing

42:24

supplements, with vitamin D and so forth.

42:28

Like for instance, if you take a

42:28

vitamin D supplement, you pretty

42:32

much would take it every day because.

42:34

It doesn't stay in your body that

42:34

long, but 20 to 30 minutes of

42:38

sunlight is probably good for your

42:38

body for a few days, so I, I really.

42:44

Believe in getting the sunlight exposure.

42:46

I agree. It's very hard to get sunburned.

42:49

I, I have a pretty big yard and I'll do

42:49

3 hours or more at a time of yard work

42:57

between cutting the grass and so forth. And I just don't get

42:59

sunburned anymore and.

43:02

I, I used to, I, I, I would put

43:02

sunblock on and I'd still get sunburn.

43:07

So that's something

43:07

that's been really big.

43:10

I'm glad that Larry brought up

43:10

grounding because I'm a huge

43:14

proponent of grounding to the earth. I really think that that helps

43:16

with inflammation as well.

43:20

And anytime I can, I get outside

43:20

barefoot to walk around and, try and

43:25

help get myself grounding back in. So I do all those

43:27

different types of things.

43:29

The 1 thing I don't do is journaling.

43:32

I'm just not big on journaling. So I, I don't do that.

43:36

Okay. I want to take a different take

43:38

on this because I think her

43:40

question was about carb addiction,

43:40

not necessarily weight loss.

43:43

The 4, the 4 areas I focus on and, and

43:43

this order, because that's the order

43:48

of importance, I believe is mindset,

43:48

emotion, nutrition and movement.

43:52

When it comes to sunlight, since

43:52

most everyone commented on sunlight,

43:56

sunlight does boost your mood, right?

43:58

It increases your serotonin levels. It makes you feel good and it boosts

44:00

your, it just boosts your mood, which

44:04

is important when you're struggling with

44:04

I call, I lump all this into emotional

44:09

eating, carb addiction, sugar addiction,

44:09

boredom, eating, stress, eating, whatever.

44:12

It's all emotional eating. So when it comes to exercise, exercise

44:13

does the same thing and you can literally

44:17

just walk for an hour a day or a couple

44:17

sessions for 15 minutes and the same

44:23

thing, it boosts your endorphins, it

44:23

boosts your serotonin, which are all.

44:27

All important when it comes to your

44:27

mindset and managing your emotions

44:30

because your body doesn't distinguish

44:30

between emotions, whether you're happy.

44:35

Or depressed or pissed off your body

44:35

doesn't distinguish between emotions.

44:40

Your physiology responds the same way.

44:43

Your glucose spikes, your adrenaline's

44:43

through the roof, your glycogen stores

44:48

are released to the bloodstream. That's where those cravings for

44:49

sugary and salty foods and fatty

44:53

foods and all this stuff comes from.

44:55

It's your hormonal response, which affects

44:55

your appetite controlling hormones.

44:58

So it's like a whole cascading events.

45:01

So you can't control. How your body responds, but you

45:03

can control how you respond.

45:07

So without getting too, too deep, I

45:07

think journaling is super important.

45:11

And I, I always recommend doing this for

45:11

at least two weeks, tracking your mood and

45:16

feelings, your thoughts, all that stuff

45:16

before, during, and after your meals.

45:20

Cause then you'll start to. Established triggers and patterns.

45:23

Do you turn to specific foods when you're stressed? What foods do you typically turn

45:25

to the same when you're bored?

45:28

What do you typically board on? I have a client who habitually

45:29

snacks on popcorn every night and

45:33

in her journal, she'll be like, not

45:33

hungry, but she's eating popcorn.

45:37

So it's habitual. So we're starting to unpack that.

45:40

So I think food journaling, especially

45:40

in the beginning is super important

45:44

because that's the only way. You're going to recognize your triggers

45:45

and your patterns and your habits

45:49

because otherwise you're not going to

45:49

pay attention what you eat on the day.

45:52

You're not going to remember what you ate during the day. And you're not going to be able

45:54

to correlate it to your, your

45:57

feelings, thoughts, or moods. And then when it comes to non

46:00

diet, I believe good practices

46:04

such as keeping a top three.

46:07

So you always have to be comfortable being

46:07

uncomfortable because going against your

46:11

cravings, going to get your urges, going

46:11

against every single thing your brain

46:14

is telling you to do, which is to eat

46:14

going against your cravings is going to

46:19

be uncomfortable and it's going to suck. So just recognize that and just be

46:21

comfortable being uncomfortable.

46:26

Because it's going to be uncomfortable,

46:26

but you have to give your body that

46:29

couple seconds because when those

46:29

cravings are through the roof and

46:32

you're emotionally hungry, your brain

46:32

is literally irrational, illogical.

46:37

So just being able to stop and given that

46:37

couple seconds for your brain to shift

46:42

to logical and rational thought, that's

46:42

when you can then assess your hunger.

46:47

Are you emotionally hungry? Did it happen suddenly,

46:49

abruptly craving specific foods,

46:51

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then come up with the top three.

46:55

What do you like to do that calms you,

46:55

relaxes you that does not involve food.

46:59

For me, it's walking, going

46:59

to the gym or reading.

47:03

So find what works for you. And that's the easiest way to, to get

47:05

out of that habit of turning to food.

47:10

Cause that's really what it is. It's you're using food

47:11

to fill a void and habit.

47:13

So it's breaking that habit. And then of course.

47:17

Promoting low carb will help stabilize

47:17

your blood sugar and all those

47:21

things I just described, which in

47:21

turn will help your hormones and

47:24

your cravings and all that stuff. So that's my long way of, of saying that's

47:25

what I, that's what I would recommend.

47:30

And that's a little bit of high level

47:30

on why those cravings happen and how

47:35

to start being able to control them. 1 thing I want to add Nicole, when

47:37

you were talking, it made me realize

47:41

that in the beginning, when I 1st

47:41

started, I actually was journaling

47:45

what I ate and when I ate it and

47:45

I completely forgot about that.

47:49

When I 1st started, I did do that. I no longer do that, and I haven't

47:51

done it for several months because I'm

47:53

just so comfortable with where I'm at. But yeah, when I first

47:56

started out, I was doing that.

47:58

So that's a really good point. And I completely forgot about it.

48:04

I'd like to add on top of all the

48:04

cravings and the physical and emotional

48:08

cravings, there's also societal pressure

48:08

that people expect you to interact.

48:13

over meals and going out to do things.

48:17

You don't want to withdraw and

48:17

become a hermit in your house because

48:21

you're eating carnivore, right? So that's part of it too.

48:24

So it's not just internal, there's

48:24

tons and they do suck, but it also

48:28

sucks because you have to go out in

48:28

society still, be part of society.

48:32

And manage, manage that piece. So I think there's other

48:34

forces also involved.

48:37

Yeah. There's a lot of factors too much to

48:38

go over and the short little question,

48:43

but yeah, there's all sorts of stuff.

48:45

It's your environment. Are you eating in front of the TV to

48:46

where you're not paying attention?

48:49

To what you're eating, are

48:49

you eating while working?

48:52

Are you at work and taking a working lunch where you're constantly getting interrupted?

48:55

There's a number of, there's so many

48:55

things that can affect it, but the

48:59

root cause is what you need to focus

48:59

on in order to overcome those things,

49:08

I think, and I'll just show this out

49:08

there and we'll move on from the question.

49:10

But I, 1 of the things I like to do

49:10

and I tell people is if, if you're

49:13

going to something social, okay. Eat beforehand because then you're at

49:15

least ways you've controlled the internal

49:20

pressure and then you just have to deal

49:20

with the external pressure, so now you're

49:24

not hungry, your body's not going, Hey,

49:24

I want to eat because if you end up, at a

49:28

place where all they're serving is pizza

49:28

and you haven't ate all day and all the

49:32

social pressure and people are in your

49:32

face and they're laughing and having a

49:35

good time, they're like, yeah, have some

49:35

pizza, you're going to get off diet.

49:38

So you have to control what you can. That's how you're going

49:40

to, to thrive on this diet.

49:44

Let's see here. Looking for questions.

49:47

Anybody's got a question,

49:47

please put a Q in front of it.

If you would hit the like button, no

49:50

matter what channel you're on, hit the

49:53

like button, hit the subscribe button. You make sure you flip over and

49:55

give these other guys some love too.

49:58

We do appreciate it. It helps get our message out there,

49:59

helps push us out to a bigger audience.

50:03

We're sitting at 44 people in

50:03

here right now, which is cool.

50:08

Carnivore soldier has his playlist here.

50:10

If you want to see it on his,

50:10

on his documentaries, this is

50:12

a good stuff to follow up here. Did it like put it in two things

50:15

here or what happened here?

50:17

Yeah, it broke. So I put another one

50:18

just with the playlist.

50:20

If you go for a couple, couple lines

50:20

down, it's just no further down.

50:23

Oh, there's another one. All right. Here it is. Okay. It was too long apparently.

50:28

So it broke it in half. Yeah. You can only, you can only put

50:30

so many characters in there.

50:32

It makes it really hard to

50:32

ask a good question some days.

50:35

And so let me just say, as far as the

50:35

documentaries, the kind of the way I

50:40

look at it is, yes, you can watch them to

50:40

learn yourself, but also these are nice.

50:45

And the way I review them, nice to

50:45

have in your arsenal in case someone

50:49

asks, hey, what, what are you doing? And why are they're opposed to it?

50:52

Like a family member? Maybe your spouse is really against it.

50:55

You can recommend, hey, why don't

50:55

we watch this documentary and help

50:58

her because you're not saying it. So if other experts are saying

51:00

it, it's much easier for people.

51:03

To accept. So that's the idea behind it. I agree.

51:07

I agree completely. I just did that on another live

51:08

Aaliyah Wells had a live with Dr.

51:13

Tony Hampton and, my wife's daughter,

51:13

Charlotte's getting on the diet,

51:18

but she's taking goby, which, if you

51:18

know anything about that, it's the

51:22

same thing as, as, as Olympic girl.

51:24

I can't pronounce that 1, but

51:24

it's a diet drug that people

51:28

are taking to lose weight. It's got a lot of nasty.

51:32

Side effects that people don't realize. And so I asked the question in there after

51:35

inviting her into the lives of the Dr.

51:39

Tony would answer it. And she would get those words from

51:40

somebody else other than me on purpose.

51:44

So that she would, get it from a

51:44

professional to say, Hey, this is

51:47

what's going on because I've already

51:47

said it once, but then she's Oh,

51:50

I didn't realize it was that bad. I'm like, yeah. Yeah, it really is that bad.

51:55

All right. There's a lawsuit on ozempic actually

51:55

and I think there's all those other drugs

51:58

are lumped in because they didn't expose

51:58

a gastritis which is not reversible and

52:03

this poor woman, one of the women who

52:03

were suing ozempic lost all of her teeth

52:08

because she was vomiting that much. And it's literally reversible.

52:12

Thankfully, she's mild or moderate,

52:12

but if it's severe, it can cause,

52:16

I think it can cause death. I'm not sure.

52:18

I don't know a whole lot about it,

52:18

but from what I read, but yeah,

52:21

and there's more lawsuits coming. Those side effects are serious

52:22

and there are side effects

52:25

that aren't even disclosed. So there could be side effects

52:26

that you don't even know.

52:29

That can cause reversible damage to

52:29

your health by taking those drugs.

52:33

Yeah, so from what I understand, there's

52:33

actually more lawsuits coming, but that is

52:37

a lawsuit that actually is in the works.

52:40

I think Dr. Chaffee said it best when he

52:41

said drugs don't have side

52:44

effects, they have effects. And, these are effects.

52:48

When people call them side effects, it

52:48

minimizes them, but these are effects.

52:52

And that's pretty serious, yeah. That's a great point.

52:56

It's a great point. Nicole's got a video on this where

52:57

she talked about the lawsuit.

53:00

And I just, now she brought

53:00

that up and reminded me because

53:02

I've watched her video on it. Yeah, you should definitely

53:04

go check that out. If you guys are taking those drugs,

53:05

the scary thing is the number

53:09

of people that I know taking it. And if you, if you don't realize it, but

53:10

there's people in it, I think it's like

53:14

1, 000, 1, 500 a month for this drug.

53:18

And there are people taking it and they,

53:18

yeah, you're, you're going to lose weight,

53:23

but in, you're going to, you're going to

53:23

drop it, but you're also losing muscle.

53:26

It's 30 or 40 percent of your weight

53:26

loss comes from your muscle mass.

53:31

This is bad, bad news.

53:33

So there's definitely something

53:33

that people need to be educated on

53:36

and learn about because there's no

53:36

miracle pill pill to lose weight.

53:40

And this is going to have long

53:40

lasting side effects on people's.

53:44

on people's health. Now, the good news is there's

53:46

something that you can do that

53:49

has the exact same effect. It's called, it's called

53:51

the carnivore keto diet.

53:55

It has the exact same effect and

53:55

you don't have to take a pill or

53:59

medicine or pay 1, 500 a month for it.

54:01

You can do like Larry did down here

54:01

and say you can do this for under

54:04

200 a month just in your grocery

54:04

bill, which you were going to pay

54:07

for anyways, which was probably

54:07

going to be four times that amount.

54:10

So the great thing is, is

54:10

there, there's a better answer.

54:14

But there's a lot of people I, I, I,

54:14

I couldn't probably name off 12 people

54:18

right off the top of my head who are

54:18

actively taking this shot to lose weight.

54:22

And I'm like, you're absolutely insane.

54:25

There's, there's no miracle cure. You, this is going to have a

54:27

long term health effect on you.

54:32

70, 80 percent of the

54:32

people who are on this.

54:35

Once they get off of it, they

54:35

immediately gain all that weight back.

54:39

It's, it's not, it's not something you

54:39

can do long term unless you plan on being

54:42

medicated for the rest of your life.

54:45

You're not going to be able to maintain the weight loss. The good news is on carnivore, you

54:47

can do this for the rest of your life.

54:51

It's easy to do. It's simple. It's beef, butter,

54:52

bacon, eggs, and roll on.

54:55

You keep doing that and you can add a few

54:55

other proteins in there along the way,

54:58

or you can do Nicole here and add a few

54:58

things back into your diet that work for

55:03

you and still maintain your weight, still

55:03

maintain your health and be successful.

55:08

Whereas this miracle cure is not going

55:08

to be long term and you're going to see

55:12

people who are dying, having problems

55:12

with their health, who are going to

55:15

be in, there's lawsuits coming out. It's absolutely scary.

55:18

And I'm going to get off here because you got me ranting, but Yeah, it's, it's, it's horrible.

55:23

Anybody want to throw anything in

55:23

there else in there before we leave it?

55:25

The topic. Yeah, you can. So I have a client where we're so close

55:26

on reversing his type two diabetes.

55:31

He's now pre, and we're hoping when

55:31

he goes back next month, he'll be.

55:36

Completely reversed and his

55:36

doctor still put him on when we

55:39

got him from type two to pre his

55:39

doctor still put him on trulicity.

55:43

And all that. So I, I think it's important to know

55:43

don't, blatantly go against your doctors.

55:48

I'm not a doctor. I'm not giving advice. Just know that it's your body.

55:52

Your choice, right? It's your decision.

55:55

What you put in your body when

55:55

I was diagnosed with high blood

55:57

pressure when I was obese and fat

55:57

and overweight and just unhealthy.

56:01

I said, no, I was like,

56:01

let me try to lose weight.

56:04

Not one doctor. With sleep apnea, high blood pressure.

56:07

All those were obesity induced.

56:09

Not one doctor talked to me about

56:09

lifestyle, losing weight, diet, anything.

56:14

They just gave me my CPAP

56:14

machine, gave me a prescription.

56:17

I took the CPAP machine to

56:17

save my marriage cause I, this

56:20

little body snored really loud. But I didn't take the drug.

56:24

I didn't take the. The high blood pressure drug.

56:27

So all I'm saying is do your research

56:27

just because your doctor prescribes

56:32

you something doesn't mean you

56:32

have to get it filled or take it.

56:35

It's your choice. Your doctor is not, your doctor

56:36

cannot force you to take anything.

56:39

You can always fire your

56:39

doctor, find a new doctor.

56:42

Now, again, I'm not saying go against your doctor. What I am saying is do your

56:44

research, get all the information

56:47

before you decide to do something. That's, that's drug related,

56:49

but a lot of people feel like.

56:52

Like my client filled it because his

56:52

doctor told him to, and he thought

56:55

he had to do what his doctor says. I think the important thing for

56:57

you to know, all the listeners,

57:02

is you do not have to take

57:02

whatever your doctor gives you.

57:05

It is your decision. If you think it's best that you

57:07

don't take it, Then don't take it.

57:10

Just make sure you have all the

57:10

information before you decide what to do.

57:15

So that's the big message I want to

57:15

get across because I, like I said, I

57:18

have clients who are doing well with

57:18

their diet and their doctor still

57:22

prescribing something and they fill

57:22

it, even though they're feeling great.

57:25

Because they feel like they have to

57:25

because their doctor prescribed it.

57:29

So that's, that's the big

57:29

thing I want to put away.

57:31

You're in control of your health

57:31

and you're your biggest advocate.

57:34

You can say, you can take the

57:34

prescription, say, thank you very much.

57:37

That doesn't mean you have to fill it. I agree.

57:40

And, and, they're, I'm pushing 50 and I

57:40

can remember there used to be something

57:44

that people used to say all the time

57:44

that nobody talks about anymore.

57:47

And that's, did you get a second opinion?

57:49

Yeah, because your doctor said.

57:52

This doesn't mean that your doctor is

57:52

the most up, the date research, best

57:58

knowledge, the smartest man in the

57:58

room, and he knows what's going on.

58:02

You, you need to get a second opinion. You need to do some research on your own.

58:07

There's some great resources out there to find. I think diet doctor.com is one.

58:10

There's a couple keto ones. Get on there, search for, a doctor

58:12

that's more metabolic health than

58:17

and, and treating your, your health

58:17

issues metabolically versus treating

58:23

it with, with prescriptions because

58:23

you have to remember a doctor,

58:27

they, they treat your condition. They're not about curing your

58:30

condition, curing your condition

58:33

is a whole different story. And you need to find doctors that

58:34

are wanting to cure your condition

58:37

because most doctors, all they want

58:37

to do is here's a prescription.

58:40

Here's what you're going to do. They in their head, and

58:41

they don't say it out loud.

58:44

They're like these are the, these

58:44

are the effects of this drug.

58:46

And this is the benefit of this drug. And.

58:49

My risk assessment is you're

58:49

probably not going to get healthy.

58:52

So I'm just going to put you on this

58:52

drug and you're going to continue on

58:56

my wife's nurse and we've had this

58:56

discussion and that's how they view

59:00

it and they won't necessarily have

59:00

this discussion with you to make you

59:04

so that you can have this decision. They're going to make it for you.

59:07

Yeah, I came to my statins, they

59:07

had me on statins and I had to come

59:12

off because it was causing me muscle

59:12

cramp and weight and weight gain.

59:16

I just had to physically tell

59:16

the doctor, I'm sorry, but I'm

59:19

not going to take a statin. This is, this is not an open

59:20

subject for, for discussion.

59:24

This is exactly what I'm going to do. I will, work with you on anything

59:26

else related to my health.

59:29

But when it came to the statins,

59:29

I had made a decision that that

59:33

wasn't going to happen anymore. Anybody else want to throw in the towel?

59:38

Yeah, I just want to say that, I like

59:38

how you, you said it's not a cure, right?

59:42

Keep in mind now. I don't want to tell somebody not

59:44

to take a medication because there

59:46

might be a good reason that they need

59:46

to take a medication and so forth.

59:49

But a medication prescription

59:49

is a temporary a band aid thing.

59:55

It's not the fix of the cause.

59:58

Right? So keep that in mind.

1:00:01

You're just band aiding

1:00:01

something and yeah.

1:00:05

The pharmaceutical company is

1:00:05

looking at as, okay, we're just

1:00:07

gonna temporarily mandate it and you

1:00:07

keep temporarily mandating it and

1:00:12

we're making money because you're

1:00:12

using our medication all the time.

1:00:14

We're not fixing the actual

1:00:14

cause of the problem.

1:00:17

You need to go deeper for

1:00:17

the cause of the problem.

1:00:20

And in most of the cases that

1:00:20

we're talking about here,

1:00:23

it's diet that is the cause. And that's, that's what you need to

1:00:25

fix is your diet, not necessarily

1:00:31

that, oh, I need to take this

1:00:31

medication and everything that's

1:00:34

been said here is completely right. There's no magic pill for losing weight.

1:00:38

If you take a medication,

1:00:38

there's gonna be side effects.

1:00:40

And if you stop taking that

1:00:40

and you haven't changed.

1:00:44

What caused you to gain weight

1:00:44

in the first place, you're just

1:00:47

going to gain the weight back. Yeah.

1:00:52

So I lost weight back in 2012, got

1:00:52

down to about where I'm at right now.

1:00:57

My blood pressure was still through

1:00:57

the roof, even with all the weight gain

1:01:00

or what all the weight loss and I was

1:01:00

taking my blood pressure medicine, but

1:01:04

on carnivore and I have a video on this

1:01:04

that you guys can go see and I have

1:01:08

it all documented, Month in and month

1:01:08

out my average blood pressure level on

1:01:12

carnivore through proper nutrition and

1:01:12

losing weight My blood pressure dropped

1:01:17

dramatically, you know to where now

1:01:17

I'm only on one pill a day versus you

1:01:22

know the three that I was taking and I

1:01:22

Plan on being off that last pill before

1:01:28

I hit my one year mark on this diet. It's About nutrition, weight

1:01:30

loss is important, but it's about

1:01:34

being healthy and nutrition. So good stuff guys.

1:01:38

Larry, anything you want to throw in there? Yeah, my sister is also on that, dropping

1:01:40

her blood pressure and weight and now

1:01:44

she's cutting back and removing medicines.

1:01:47

And you guys are right. Doctors and it's not their fault.

1:01:51

They're trained this way, unfortunately,

1:01:51

but because the organizations that.

1:01:56

control the institutions that train

1:01:56

them to teach them how to be a doctor

1:01:59

have been basically bought and paid

1:01:59

for by big pharma and food companies.

1:02:03

So these what they're being taught

1:02:03

how to do is manage symptoms.

1:02:08

And they manage symptoms of drugs with

1:02:08

no plan to cure the underlying disease.

1:02:14

And like everyone said here, it is food.

1:02:17

And a lot of these documentaries show

1:02:17

that where type 2 diabetes is being

1:02:20

completely reversed, not in years, but in

1:02:20

weeks and months, strictly through diet.

1:02:27

And people are getting rid of

1:02:27

the insulin and drugs they're on.

1:02:31

And, that's just proof in the pudding.

1:02:33

Right. And you can say it's anecdotal, you

1:02:33

get enough anecdotal stories and

1:02:38

they become evidence for a theory.

1:02:40

Right. And so the theory becomes very

1:02:41

strong when you get more and more.

1:02:44

We have tons of evidence. that you can reverse type two

1:02:46

diabetes just through diet and

1:02:50

improve blood sugar management and

1:02:50

type one diabetes just through diet.

1:02:54

There's a lot of things you can

1:02:54

do through diet epilepsy seizures.

1:02:58

It's just so much. And then on top of that, just

1:02:59

add in everything we've added

1:03:02

metabolic syndrome that we have

1:03:02

now that I grew up, never heard of.

1:03:06

Never heard of insulin resistance or

1:03:06

metabolic syndrome back in the seventies.

1:03:10

Never heard of it. I don't think it really existed

1:03:11

in mass like it does now.

1:03:15

So like I like to say, when I grew

1:03:15

up, all the kids pretty much, almost

1:03:20

all the kids were skinny, there

1:03:20

was the occasional fat kid and all

1:03:24

my neighbor's parents were skinny.

1:03:27

Some were out of shape, but

1:03:27

there were no huge obese.

1:03:30

Now I go down my street and I

1:03:30

say 50 60 percent are obese and a

1:03:35

portion of them were morbidly obese. That's new.

1:03:38

That is not. That was not the way it

1:03:38

was in the seventies. So anyway, that's all I got.

1:03:44

All right. Good stuff. All right.

1:03:48

So for those of you grounding,

1:03:48

I just found this humorous.

1:03:51

Keto cheese says wrong one.

1:03:53

He's got lightning bolt here, right?

1:03:55

He says grounding in the rain.

1:03:58

So that made me laugh.

1:04:01

We've got a question down here. PG, and it says I know a

1:04:05

lot of people eat beef.

1:04:08

What is your favorite beef

1:04:08

and how do you prepare it?

1:04:11

We'll see how this panel goes. This question comes up a lot and

1:04:13

it's always the same answers.

1:04:15

All right, Larry, go first.

1:04:20

Okay. All right. I don't mind because

1:04:21

my answer is my go to.

1:04:27

Because it's cheap, it's excellent.

1:04:29

It's got the exact macronutrient

1:04:29

balance you want if you get it.

1:04:33

And if it doesn't, I add butter. So I make it, and I like to grill mine.

1:04:36

So I know I recognize a lot of

1:04:36

that fat is going into the grill.

1:04:39

So I should have butter. And I listened to my body.

1:04:41

I don't count any macros. I never have on this diet.

1:04:45

I have eaten when I was hungry and eating

1:04:45

to satiety, just eating the proper foods.

1:04:49

And that's the only thing I listen to now.

1:04:52

Now, occasionally, a couple nights

1:04:52

a week, one or two nights a week,

1:04:55

I'll have ribeye and I love that. I do the air fryer ribeye.

1:04:59

Typically, it's frozen and throw right

1:04:59

in the air fryer and it's up by time.

1:05:03

It's medium rare in the middle. It's crispy on the outside.

1:05:06

I have a recipe on my site. You guys want to check it out. It's amazing.

1:05:08

That's my, those are my 2 favorite beef. And then 1 other thing I would do is crock

1:05:11

pot meets, whether it's a roast or Yeah.

1:05:15

Whatever. I throw some of that in there. I have some right now in a crock pot, just

1:05:17

basically till it forks apart and I always

1:05:21

add butter and salt to it, big surprise.

1:05:24

That's what I do. Nicole, I can eat hamburger

1:05:29

patties all day, every day.

1:05:31

So I buy the they have a Brian would

1:05:31

know Harris Teeter we have here.

1:05:35

I'm not sure if it's a national chain

1:05:35

or what, but it's here in Virginia

1:05:38

and they have these premium cuts of

1:05:38

hamburger patties and it's my favorite.

1:05:42

One is a brisket and Chuck and the

1:05:42

other one is just a premium blend.

1:05:47

And I'm not sure what cuts of meat in there. But it's very, very flavorful.

1:05:50

I actually, I'm going to pound two

1:05:50

for, for dinner, but yeah, I can eat

1:05:54

that every day and I cook it in the

1:05:54

oven and I put butter on each patty.

1:05:58

So it cooks in the, in the butter juices. And then similar to Larry, I will cook

1:06:00

all of my steaks, all of my meats in

1:06:05

the crock pot, and I'll put it, I'll put

1:06:05

ghee and then beef bone broth in there

1:06:09

and just let it, just let it simmer. And it just melt in your, in your mouth.

1:06:15

Making me hungry over here. Brian, how about you, bud?

1:06:21

My favorite is definitely ribeye.

1:06:25

Yeah, I, I know it's the most expensive

1:06:25

and I don't eat it all the time,

1:06:30

but that is definitely my favorite. It just has the right amount

1:06:32

of fat content for me.

1:06:35

And I like to salt the steak

1:06:35

like the day before, let it

1:06:39

sit in the fridge for 24 hours. I just use Redmond's real salt

1:06:41

and, and then I have a pellet grill

1:06:46

and that cooks it pretty evenly. I go medium rare on my steaks.

1:06:50

Sometimes maybe even a little

1:06:50

closer to rare, to be honest, but

1:06:54

medium rare for the most part. And that's, that's definitely my favorite.

1:06:58

I would say. Something to try and go with something

1:07:00

that's just not so expensive.

1:07:04

So that people aren't always thinking that. Oh, carnivore is expensive.

1:07:07

Chuck taking Chuck roast and putting it

1:07:07

in the crock pot and, let it cook all day,

1:07:13

get nice and tender and just a little bit

1:07:13

of water in there and salt and it, gets

1:07:19

a nice little broth in there with it. And that that's a good 1 to that.

1:07:22

I'd like to do. Cool.

1:07:26

I am, if I could afford it, I

1:07:26

would eat rib eye every single

1:07:30

day of the week, 365 days a year.

1:07:32

But obviously when I could find it on

1:07:32

sale, I stock up on it as much as I can.

1:07:37

But most of the time, when it's

1:07:37

over nine, 14 dollars a pound, I

1:07:42

will go for a lesser cut of meat. I will go for a chuck steak.

1:07:45

I will go for a sirloin. And then of course, I'm always

1:07:47

adding butter to all that.

1:07:50

I love Ground Chuck. Yeah.

1:07:53

Ground Chuck is my go to. It's normally, in that 70, 30

1:07:55

range, a fat, which is great.

1:07:58

It's got a good flavor to it. It's one of the more

1:07:59

flavorful of the beef.

1:08:02

So when you're eating, ground

1:08:02

beef, it's not, it's not the as

1:08:06

plain as some of the other ones. It brings more to the, to the parties.

1:08:09

I like to say I do find from time to

1:08:09

time that Sam's club has ground ribeye.

1:08:16

And actually get a reasonable cost. I think I picked it up, for

1:08:18

five, six dollars a pound, these

1:08:20

little ground ribeye patties. And I have a Blackstone grill.

1:08:24

So I will go out there and I, and

1:08:24

I have a smasher and I will go out

1:08:26

there and I will, I will make smash

1:08:26

burgers with, with ground ribeye.

1:08:31

And that is phenomenal. That is, that is really good eating.

1:08:35

So your ribeye is my favorite, my

1:08:35

second would, would probably be Chuck.

1:08:39

I One more thing, anyone out there in

1:08:45

Texas, H E B has ground Wagyu, and

1:08:50

that is the amazing burger, and it's

1:08:50

not too expensive, so if y'all want to

1:08:55

treat yourself, get some Wagyu burgers. They're pretty amazing.

1:09:00

AGB. I'll have to do that.

1:09:02

I've never, I don't think

1:09:02

I've really ever had why go.

1:09:04

I never really went looking for it because

1:09:04

the price on it used to be so ridiculous,

1:09:07

but I think it's got cheaper lately. Good, good flavor.

1:09:11

It's all a lot of fat. And this Charlotte says there's many

1:09:15

lawsuits from a lot of different side

1:09:18

effects from the, from, from the drug. I'm pretty sure we're going

1:09:19

back with the Adobe and whatnot.

1:09:24

Absolutely. There's a whole bunch of it

1:09:24

out there and it's bad stuff.

1:09:32

Here. Anyone here treat small

1:09:32

intestine bacterial overgrowth?

1:09:38

Yes, that is. Thank you for clarifying that one, Nicole.

1:09:42

I got you. So yeah the bacteria in your gut

1:09:43

microbiome feeds off fiber, right?

1:09:48

So if you have SIBO, it is recommended

1:09:48

that you follow a low fiber diet.

1:09:53

So by default, following a carnivore

1:09:53

diet will support this lifestyle.

1:09:57

I'm not going to say reverse. I'm not going to say cure. I don't want to get anyone

1:09:58

demonetized because God forbid.

1:10:02

It can, it can improve your SIBO.

1:10:05

It can make you feel a ton better. I hope that's okay, YouTube.

1:10:09

So it can make you feel a lot better

1:10:09

because you're not feeding your bacteria.

1:10:13

And over time, as you change your

1:10:13

diet, your gut microbiome changes with

1:10:17

your diet too, which is a good thing.

1:10:19

But yes, if, if you do suffer from SIBO

1:10:19

following a live five low fiber or.

1:10:26

A carnivore diet can help because you're

1:10:26

not feeding the gut bacteria and it's

1:10:31

not getting back too much bacteria.

1:10:33

Cause that's essentially what SIBO is. It's too much bacteria.

1:10:36

It's excess bacteria in your small

1:10:36

intestine bacteria overgrowth.

1:10:40

That's what the VO is. So yes. So if you don't feed your bacteria, your

1:10:42

gut bacteria, then you won't have the.

1:10:46

The overgrowth and the bacteria issue

1:10:46

that causes nausea, weight gain,

1:10:50

and all these nasty side effects,

1:10:50

even malnutrition in some cases.

1:10:55

So yeah, so carnivore can

1:10:55

absolutely help with that.

1:10:58

I hope the wording of that is

1:10:58

okay with the YouTube world.

1:11:01

I'm not sure what's acceptable anymore. I think you can say that

1:11:03

it's the best practice.

1:11:08

And that's true because it just is,

1:11:08

that's what I like to use for language.

1:11:14

So I've never heard of that

1:11:14

before, so I'm glad you were here

1:11:16

to answer that, Nicole, because I

1:11:16

would have had no idea on that one.

1:11:20

That would have been one of those questions where I look over at my wife and have her answer because

1:11:22

she's a nurse, but she's not here

1:11:24

right now, so I would have been deaf for a cue in front of them.

1:11:33

This person says, thanks for being

1:11:33

bold enough to discuss this Rx topic.

1:11:38

Absolutely. Some of the boldest people, in the

1:11:40

room right here on these four channels,

1:11:44

we all have our opinions and we

1:11:44

all have no problem sharing them.

1:11:48

All right. I'm just going to pop through here.

1:11:52

I'm day seven, a car driver. I already seen a lot of positive change.

1:11:55

I already lost 12 pounds outstanding.

1:11:58

Who's off? Need a sound effect from,

1:12:01

from the call on that one.

1:12:06

She's falling behind on her, on

1:12:06

her sound machine over there.

1:12:09

Oh, sorry. All right.

1:12:16

It's around 1, 800 to 2, 000 out of

1:12:16

pocket, but insurance is around a hundred

1:12:19

dollars bucks for three months worth. That's the way go be, but still,

1:12:22

that's still a lot of money.

1:12:25

Still a lot of money. I might try to spend a hundred

1:12:26

dollars on beef and be healthy.

1:12:30

Yep. That's half a month of BBBE.

1:12:36

Yeah. Doc was trying to get me on it.

1:12:39

Glad insurance didn't approve me for it.

1:12:41

Three months on Carver. Now I've dropped 50 pounds.

1:12:44

There's another one to call for you. Charlotte says Michael Mon, and I

1:12:54

already dropped around 20 pounds.

1:12:57

I I've been on with Gobi

1:12:57

for eight months or so.

1:13:00

Let's see here.

1:13:05

There was a question at 2 12 p. m. Okay, I'm going to throw

1:13:08

that one up while I find it.

1:13:13

Okay, says doctor tell

1:13:13

me and that's the point.

1:13:16

The doctor won't tell you they're

1:13:16

just they're going to make a decision

1:13:19

and they're going to provide it to

1:13:19

you, but they don't give you all

1:13:21

the facts and it's unfortunate. I think that they should be required to

1:13:23

give you all the facts so that you can

1:13:25

make an informed decision, but that's

1:13:25

my personal belief and and whether

1:13:30

that'll ever happen, I don't know. All right, question seasonings.

1:13:35

What what You go to and while

1:13:35

on carnivore, can you use any

1:13:40

seasonings you want to cook with? Brian, you want to start with that one?

1:13:48

I haven't picked on you yet today. Sure.

1:13:51

First, I'd like to say that,

1:13:51

yeah, you can eat seasonings.

1:13:55

Don't get caught up in what

1:13:55

other people tell you is the

1:14:00

right thing to eat and to do.

1:14:02

Do what is best for you. If somebody else says, Oh,

1:14:05

that's not really carnivore.

1:14:07

Oh too bad. That's what you're doing and

1:14:08

that's what works for you. Okay.

1:14:10

So that, that's the first part. So if, if you think that you

1:14:11

should have certain seasonings

1:14:15

and it helps you then do it. I would suggest staying away from

1:14:17

seasonings that have a lot of sugar

1:14:21

in them or something like that. Personally, I don't really

1:14:23

use seasoning very often.

1:14:26

Usually it's just Redmond's real salt.

1:14:29

Occasionally I do have some

1:14:29

stuff that I got from Costco.

1:14:32

It's, it's like a pork barbecue rub and I

1:14:32

will occasionally use that on something.

1:14:38

But it's pretty clean. It's got different spices in there

1:14:39

or whatever, but it's for the

1:14:43

most part is pretty clean and,

1:14:43

and I just do it occasionally.

1:14:46

So most of the time I'm just

1:14:46

using salt, but that's me.

1:14:49

I there's other people I know that they,

1:14:49

they use different types of seasonings,

1:14:54

whether it's garlic powder or something

1:14:54

all the time, and they don't have any

1:14:58

problems with it and it works for them. So that's great.

1:15:01

It works for them. Cool.

1:15:07

I would just make sure that

1:15:07

you read the ingredients.

1:15:10

You know what's in it. Not all seasonings are created equally.

1:15:13

And if you look at some of these

1:15:13

seasons, a lot of them are laced full of

1:15:16

sugar, especially barbecue seasonings. That seems to be the number one

1:15:18

ingredient for barbecue seasonings

1:15:21

is we're going to add brown sugar

1:15:21

or sugar, or we're going to hide it

1:15:25

in 50 other different names for it.

1:15:27

Just read your, read your

1:15:27

ingredients like you would anything

1:15:29

else to see what's in there. And then, but me personally.

1:15:34

I am, I just find that I don't

1:15:34

even crave seasonings anymore.

1:15:38

It doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't even seem like it improves anything for me anymore.

1:15:42

I used to use a lot of garlic salt and I

1:15:42

used to use a lot of different seasonings.

1:15:46

But now all I use is salt.

1:15:49

I want, and I took brian's suggestion.

1:15:53

I salted some steaks beforehand

1:15:53

and let them sit in the salt that

1:15:57

actually improved the flavor. And I was pretty impressed with that.

1:15:59

But yeah, I don't I really don't find

1:15:59

me needing to use seasonings anymore.

1:16:05

I used to use a lot of garlic and

1:16:05

garlic salts and all this stuff.

1:16:08

And if I put that on a steak, it

1:16:08

doesn't, it doesn't even taste to me.

1:16:12

Like it's even really on there. Nicole, what's your thoughts?

1:16:16

Yeah, I, I, I kind of

1:16:16

align with Brian here.

1:16:19

I. I don't believe you really have to

1:16:20

be that strict or dogmatic about it.

1:16:24

If you want to use seasoning, use seasoning. If it doesn't affect you,

1:16:26

then you know, it's all good.

1:16:29

I don't think you have to get that

1:16:29

crazy and into the weeds with it.

1:16:32

Honestly, as long as you're eating

1:16:32

predominantly animal foods and you're

1:16:36

feeling good, a little bit of garlic

1:16:36

powder isn't going to like, Ruin the world

1:16:42

and make you gain a ton of weight back.

1:16:45

But I eliminated seasoning. I used to cook in a lot

1:16:46

of, a lot of seasoning.

1:16:48

Now pepper bothers me. It actually upsets my stomach and

1:16:50

makes me, makes me sneeze and all

1:16:53

these things now and same with onion. But if it doesn't bother you, then.

1:16:57

Then go for it. I honestly, you don't have

1:16:58

to get that into the weeds.

1:17:01

Even like Brian said, no matter what

1:17:01

people do on, on YouTube and how

1:17:05

strict they are, if they're just like

1:17:05

steak and butter and that's all they

1:17:08

do and they don't do anything else. That doesn't mean you have to do that.

1:17:11

So that's just my take on it. I, I just don't get that into

1:17:12

the weeds with, with things.

1:17:15

I don't think it's that serious

1:17:15

or, or I don't think that's

1:17:18

something you have to do. I would agree with that.

1:17:22

And I would throw out there just to

1:17:22

expand on what you said there, there

1:17:26

are some seasonings that will cause you.

1:17:29

Issues. And so you'll need to

1:17:30

identify those black peppers.

1:17:32

One of those that stands out where you

1:17:32

can definitely have issues that you didn't

1:17:36

realize you were having before on, on

1:17:36

your stat diet, but now that you're on

1:17:40

carnivore or keto for that, you start

1:17:40

these, some of these, these seasonings

1:17:46

in there, you may have reactions to them.

1:17:48

And so you may need to curb some

1:17:48

of these out of your diet, Larry.

1:17:53

Yeah. So I would agree with that, that

1:17:53

this is an elimination diet.

1:17:57

And you'll never know if you don't

1:17:57

cut it out, if it affects you.

1:18:00

How about that? Because if you never cut pepper

1:18:01

out of your diet and you continue

1:18:04

eating it, you don't know how healthy

1:18:04

you could have been without it.

1:18:07

Deoxylates, could, could be

1:18:07

affecting you in ways you don't know.

1:18:11

And once you cut everything out and

1:18:11

then reintroduce them after you've been

1:18:15

clean for a while, that's when you, just

1:18:15

like the pineapple issue you had, right?

1:18:19

So it's exact, she never would have

1:18:19

known if she never cut pineapple out.

1:18:23

And you still probably get weight loss. So it depends on your goals, too.

1:18:27

If you're strictly just getting weight

1:18:27

loss, and that's all you want, then

1:18:30

yeah, probably not as important. I would recommend staying

1:18:32

with real seasonings, such as

1:18:36

paprika, onion powder, salt.

1:18:39

One, one item seasoning, not

1:18:39

like these mixes like this.

1:18:42

And I love this one. This is hardcore carnivore.

1:18:45

There's nothing carnivore about this. It's got corn protein isolates in it.

1:18:49

It's got, so don't trust a label

1:18:49

ever look at the ingredients and

1:18:55

the ingredients look like that. That's a no go. Pretty much because it's got

1:18:57

all kinds of sugar in it.

1:19:00

And that, and that will

1:19:00

cause issues for you.

1:19:02

It could stall your weight loss. So even in just the weight

1:19:04

loss, let alone the other stuff,

1:19:07

it can definitely affect it. If you are going to do it.

1:19:10

And what I did is I started out with

1:19:10

salt and pepper, cut the pepper out.

1:19:13

When I ran out and I was like, okay, after

1:19:13

a month, I'm like, I'm out of pepper.

1:19:16

I'm not going to buy it. And then just kept going.

1:19:18

And then, like I said, I reintroduced the. Smoked garlic powder and didn't

1:19:21

really, it didn't do anything for me.

1:19:25

So I just, it's still in my cabinet. I just don't use it.

1:19:28

And I didn't go buy any other ones. I'm like, I really don't need

1:19:30

paprika or any of this stuff.

1:19:33

Once you get to this point, your

1:19:33

relationship with food changes

1:19:36

so much, so drastically that

1:19:36

it's, you'll have to reevaluate.

1:19:41

I think everyone needs to reevaluate for themselves. So I agree.

1:19:43

If your goal is just to lose weight. Then you could probably

1:19:46

season and continue to season.

1:19:48

But if your goal is to optimize your

1:19:48

performance health wise and in this

1:19:54

diet and get the maximum results

1:19:54

in the shortest amount of time, I

1:19:58

would do a clean diet to start with. And then bring things back in and

1:20:00

reintroduce them and evaluate.

1:20:05

It's great advice. Absolutely. I agree.

1:20:08

All right. Let's see what we got in here.

1:20:14

I'm not sure what Keto

1:20:14

Cheeto is up to here.

1:20:17

Lone is mine with a bird. And he's got this one here.

1:20:22

Anybody figured that one out? Like squeezing, headache,

1:20:25

sick, death, afterlife.

1:20:32

The killed them. It's like a test emoji, translation test.

1:20:40

Lemme see. Any more questions in here?

1:20:42

There are questions. There's a couple beyond that

1:20:43

one I saw there's a couple.

1:20:46

Gimme a timeframe. Let look.

1:20:48

227 or 217. Yep.

1:20:53

217. And then 221 and 223.

1:20:57

I see three of them in there. Yeah.

1:20:59

Oh, I see it. There it is. There's 217.

1:21:05

Okay. KP asks this all the time, man.

1:21:07

I give you the same answer. I heart you, but dude, prebiotics

1:21:09

are, are Plant stuff and it

1:21:15

just feeds your gut microbiome. You don't you don't need it It

1:21:16

just it's bacteria for your gut.

1:21:20

Don't you're good. You don't need it at all the prebiotics

1:21:21

are are plant prebiotics for plants.

1:21:27

We're not we're not plants. We don't need it We don't it doesn't

1:21:29

do anything for us but feeds our

1:21:33

gut which as we learned earlier

1:21:33

can You know, lead to other things

1:21:37

like SIBO if you have too much. So it's truly not needed.

1:21:41

It's not essential. in our to live and, and to be healthy.

1:21:47

It's, it's non essential. So I personally don't recommend

1:21:48

things unless there's a reason

1:21:52

you cannot get it from your diet. And prebiotics one is not essential so we

1:21:53

don't need it in our diets at all anyway.

1:21:58

But I don't push supplements unless

1:21:58

there is a legit reason why you can't

1:22:04

get it from your, from your food. Supplements are to supplement what

1:22:06

you can't get from your food, things

1:22:09

that your body actually needs, and

1:22:09

prebiotic is not one of those things.

1:22:15

I would say that if you look at

1:22:15

ancestral diets, there are people

1:22:19

that have lived on these diets for

1:22:19

whatever you believe, tens of thousands,

1:22:22

hundreds of thousands of years, right? And they did not supplement with

1:22:24

prebiotics because they didn't know

1:22:27

what they were, if they existed, even. And you can look at people who

1:22:29

live today on ancestral diets,

1:22:32

like the Maasai tribe or the Inuit.

1:22:34

And they have no prebiotics and they

1:22:34

have no, they have, they don't have

1:22:38

the Western diseases we have either. They have none of the Western

1:22:39

diseases and no prebiotics whatsoever.

1:22:43

And supplements, a little mineral

1:22:43

we need because we don't drink

1:22:46

stream water anymore or pond water. So I think, salt and we also,

1:22:49

drain blood out of meat.

1:22:53

We're back in the old days, if they didn't

1:22:53

have block and tackle, they killed and

1:22:56

they ate what they killed with blood

1:22:56

in it, which has tons of electrolytes.

1:23:00

Doing magnesium and salt as needed

1:23:00

is probably what we need on a modern

1:23:04

diet in industrial food society.

1:23:10

Anybody else got thoughts on

1:23:10

that question before I move?

1:23:15

Okay, so we got a question here.

1:23:17

It says, how do you add calories

1:23:17

on just carnivore or normal diet is

1:23:21

much easier since there are carbs. Any advice?

1:23:26

I, I add butter and that's

1:23:26

that's easier than carbs.

1:23:29

You just get a slice, a tablespoon

1:23:29

of butter and throw it on your meat.

1:23:32

You just added 100 calories. Boom. That is I don't count calories.

1:23:36

I don't, I don't even care what the calories are. I don't, I eat till I'm full and then

1:23:39

I eat, I eat again when I get hungry.

1:23:43

I don't ever count calories. Calories is a man made.

1:23:47

Measurement. They, they, they went in and they

1:23:48

just basically burned food, food and

1:23:51

figure out how much heat it released. That's not how the body

1:23:53

reacts, to food anyway.

1:23:55

So it, it doesn't really add up to a,

1:23:55

to a, a legitimate number and a thousand

1:23:59

carbs of sugar versus a thousand carbs

1:23:59

of beef is gonna be completely not carbs.

1:24:05

A thousand. Of calorie versus a thousand of beef

1:24:07

is going to be completely different.

1:24:10

There's so much more nutrition

1:24:10

in beef that that's going to fill

1:24:14

you up a lot quicker than a whole

1:24:14

bunch of empty calories and sugars.

1:24:17

So that's my thought, Nicole.

1:24:21

Yeah, this is, this is very

1:24:21

nuanced and it depends on.

1:24:24

What your goals are, what your

1:24:24

diet currently looks like.

1:24:27

It's, it's, it's hard to answer

1:24:27

without more information.

1:24:31

Just adding calories on a carnivore diet.

1:24:33

I eat a variety of meat. There's nothing that says you

1:24:35

have to stick with beef either.

1:24:37

Sometimes I'll have chicken. Sometimes I'll have fish.

1:24:40

Sometimes I get tired of beef

1:24:40

and I'll throw in ground turkey.

1:24:44

So you don't have to just stick with

1:24:44

beef if it's a struggle for you to eat

1:24:50

food because you're tired of one thing,

1:24:50

or I don't know what the issue, what

1:24:53

the issue is in your particular case,

1:24:53

what you're struggling with, but yeah,

1:24:56

you can add things like butter, ghee

1:24:56

tallow, you can baking grease, you can

1:25:01

save your baking grease and Mason jars

1:25:01

and use that for cooking is an easy

1:25:05

way to do it, but the easiest thing is. beef, butter, bacon and eggs.

1:25:08

It's very balanced. You're getting balanced nutrition.

1:25:11

And just listen to your body signals.

1:25:13

I don't know how long

1:25:13

you've been doing carnivore.

1:25:15

If you're in a transitional phase.

1:25:18

So for me, I think I would like to

1:25:18

know how long you've been in carnivore.

1:25:24

And on a high level are you

1:25:24

eating predominantly beef or

1:25:27

beef, butter, bacon, and eggs? What are you predominantly eating?

1:25:30

Because that'll help me figure out where

1:25:30

you are and, and where you want to go,

1:25:35

because this is just a very generalized.

1:25:38

Very generalized question that

1:25:38

can go a number of different ways,

1:25:41

depending on a lot of different things. Yuri, I would say that's

1:25:44

how it's pronounced.

1:25:47

Go ahead and answer to us a little bit

1:25:47

better worded, and maybe we can get

1:25:52

you a better answer to your question.

1:25:55

He does put here, My

1:25:55

objective is to add muscle.

1:25:59

Will carnivore diet help me achieve this? Absolutely.

1:26:03

I would say that you will because you're

1:26:03

going to be adding a lot of protein.

1:26:06

Protein is going to turn into muscle. Anybody want to add on that

1:26:09

while I look through here?

1:26:13

I've added a lot of muscle

1:26:13

and not even working out much.

1:26:16

I'm back to my athletic self. I feel like I'm going

1:26:18

back to my college days. where I found myself sprinting and doing

1:26:21

pushups, at 57, I'm 57 guys, so I'm

1:26:26

not a young guy and I'm not going to

1:26:26

outrun some 20 year old kid, but I can

1:26:30

definitely chase down a 57 year old. I can probably chase down

1:26:31

most 50 year olds out there. It definitely puts on muscle and

1:26:34

I barely, I work out 40 minutes

1:26:39

per week, not per day, per week.

1:26:42

I do four 10 minute sessions of working

1:26:42

out and I put on muscle big time.

1:26:47

So it's anabolic for sure.

1:26:50

There's an anabolic aspect to

1:26:50

eating the proper human diet.

1:26:55

Yeah. Yeah. I went hiking last weekend with the wife.

1:26:59

We, we went to six different waterfalls. I put on five pounds, not because I

1:27:02

got off diet, not because I gained

1:27:05

fats because I gained a crap load of

1:27:05

muscle just out there walking around.

1:27:10

So yeah, you'll put on muscle

1:27:10

on this, on this diet, right?

1:27:15

Yeah, I completely agree. And, and.

1:27:18

I recently, probably the last couple

1:27:18

of months, I haven't really worked

1:27:22

out at all, and I still feel like

1:27:22

there's good muscle there that I'm,

1:27:26

I'm gaining muscle and so forth. Just, just with eating this way, you

1:27:28

gain muscle and, look at like Dr.

1:27:31

Anthony Chafee, he's this way and look at.

1:27:34

The muscle he's got, I think that there's

1:27:34

a there's a stereotype out there that

1:27:39

if you really want to bulk up that

1:27:39

you have to eat carbs and that's just

1:27:43

incorrect that it's, it's not true at all.

1:27:46

There's plenty of people out there that

1:27:46

do not eat carbs that eat a carnivore

1:27:50

style diet that can bulk up very well.

1:27:52

So that's just an incorrect idea

1:27:52

that's out there that people go with.

1:28:01

Nicole, you want to continue to throw in there before I move on to the next question?

1:28:06

All right. This question, I don't know.

1:28:10

This is a funny question. How many chicken nuggets with each

1:28:11

of you have to consume for you to

1:28:14

completely blow out the bathroom? Zero, because I don't eat that garbage.

1:28:21

That's going to say I haven't had a

1:28:21

chicken nugget, since I started the

1:28:25

diet, so I don't have an answer to that.

1:28:27

I have not either. Not a single chicken

1:28:29

nugget, so I don't know.

1:28:32

Let's see here. Do any of you fast regularly?

1:28:37

I do. I do it every other week. I'm fasting right now for a 48 hour fast.

1:28:42

We started last night, and I

1:28:42

won't eat again until tomorrow

1:28:47

evening, probably right around 6 p.

1:28:50

m., 7 p. m. Eastern. So I'll get about a 48 hour fasting.

1:28:54

I do, I said, I do that every other week.

1:28:56

And it helps immensely on dealing with my

1:28:56

overall health, but I was a big man and

1:29:03

I've lost a lot of weight, so I'm starting

1:29:03

to get that, that sagging skin and

1:29:07

fasting and autophagy helps reduce that.

1:29:11

So that's my, that's my plan

1:29:11

and my vision towards doing it.

1:29:16

Anybody else? I do.

1:29:18

Oh, man. So it wasn't on purpose.

1:29:21

So I unintentionally fast. I don't believe in intentionally

1:29:23

fasting because you're going.

1:29:27

That's a stress to your body

1:29:27

because that's your if your body

1:29:29

is telling you you're hungry and

1:29:29

you're not feeding it on purpose.

1:29:32

That is a stress to your body. So I don't believe in.

1:29:35

Intentionally fasting for, for no purpose.

1:29:37

I think the longer you do this,

1:29:37

you may find that you naturally

1:29:40

land on too mad or OMAD. I naturally landed on OMAD more recently.

1:29:45

I've been going back and forth

1:29:45

between OMAD and too mad, but unless

1:29:48

there's a specific medical test

1:29:48

or something that you're prepping

1:29:51

for that you have to intentionally

1:29:51

fast outside of medical procedures,

1:29:57

there's truly no reason to, to fast.

1:30:00

If you're hungry. Then eat if you're not if

1:30:01

you're full, then stop.

1:30:04

But if you're hungry and you on purpose,

1:30:04

avoid eating, that's not that's not good.

1:30:12

I do. Oh, man. And too mad as well.

1:30:14

And I blame it there. But sometimes I will

1:30:15

fast and I believe that.

1:30:21

Ancestral diets. Ancestrally, people didn't

1:30:22

have food every day.

1:30:25

It wasn't always available. If they didn't get a

1:30:26

kill, they didn't eat. I've done army survival school in the

1:30:28

Arctic, and we didn't eat every day

1:30:32

because we didn't have food every day. And so I think our bodies

1:30:34

were designed to handle that.

1:30:37

Like you said, John, with the autophagy,

1:30:37

which is a great mechanism, right?

1:30:42

The health, your body. So I think certain mechanisms

1:30:43

are engaged when you do fast.

1:30:47

I don't do it typically though. I don't, the longest I

1:30:49

usually go is 24 hours, right?

1:30:51

And that's the nomad, right? Where I have 1 meal and then instead

1:30:52

of starting the other meal 2 hour in

1:30:57

a 2 or 3 hour window early, I just

1:30:57

wait till the end of the 24 hours.

1:31:00

And then I have my 2nd meal. So that's like a 24 hour

1:31:01

fast, which is fine.

1:31:04

But I don't think there's any problem. I don't think it's going to put you in

1:31:05

a bad situation because our bodies have.

1:31:08

Yeah. Are designed to do this, I believe so

1:31:09

they're designed to make it without food

1:31:16

and I don't do any long term

1:31:16

fasting or anything like that.

1:31:20

I, I do intermittent fasting

1:31:20

just because of the way I eat.

1:31:23

I'm typically too mad. Sometimes it's so mad, but I've never

1:31:24

gone more than 24, 25 hours or so fast

1:31:30

for a fast and typically I'll eat maybe

1:31:30

like around noon 1 o'clock and then

1:31:35

again, like around 6 PM and I don't

1:31:35

eat again until noon 1 o'clock again.

1:31:39

So that's where my

1:31:39

intermittent Fasting happens.

1:31:42

And I do that pretty much every day. I, I am OMAD and too mad back and forth.

1:31:50

And I, and I, it sounds like everybody,

1:31:50

every one of us is in agreement.

1:31:53

Sometimes I can go all week and

1:31:53

I'll just eat one meal a day.

1:31:56

And then sometimes I have to

1:31:56

eat two meals a day for a week.

1:31:59

It's, it's just basically depends

1:31:59

on what my, my body's doing, but

1:32:02

I will throw this caveat out. I don't fast unless I ate properly.

1:32:07

The night before. So I'm going to eat a high

1:32:08

protein, high fat meal.

1:32:12

It's going to be complete. It's going to be, it's

1:32:13

going to be a good beef. It's going to have some butter

1:32:14

added, probably some eggs.

1:32:17

It's going to be a really good meal

1:32:17

because I need to carry that 48

1:32:21

hour period for, for my end goal of.

1:32:23

of autophagy. But if you go in light and you go

1:32:24

in with something where you didn't

1:32:27

get the nutrition that you needed,

1:32:27

you, it'll be miserable 48 hours.

1:32:32

So that's always my plan. So last night we had, we had steak,

1:32:33

it was Chuck steak, had a lot of

1:32:37

butter, had some eggs with it. I think there was, my wife made

1:32:39

these little roll ups with the egg

1:32:42

wraps and cheese and some meat in it. That was really good.

1:32:45

I ate really well last night. So I'm not even, I don't even think

1:32:48

about food or hungry right now.

1:32:50

And I can carry myself

1:32:50

through for the 48 hours.

1:32:53

But that's all about, having that

1:32:53

plan in advance before you do it.

1:32:57

All right, guys, we are

1:32:57

pushing the 140 mark.

1:33:00

I respect each of these guys time.

1:33:02

I tell them we'll never

1:33:02

go longer than two hours.

1:33:05

So we're 20 minutes from the two

1:33:05

hour mark, so I'm going to start

1:33:08

speeding through the questions. If you got a question you want answered,

1:33:09

make sure you get a big Q in front of it.

1:33:13

Cause I'll probably miss it

1:33:13

if it's not marked that way.

1:33:16

And I appreciate each and every one of

1:33:16

you for, for being on the channel today.

1:33:20

I ask you guys reach out and hit,

1:33:20

hit that thumbs up button, hit that

1:33:23

subscribe button on the channel, give

1:33:23

these guys some love on their channel.

1:33:26

Let me take this off the screen here. You got Nicole at former fat girl.

1:33:30

I got Brian at wick goes carnivore. And you got Larry here

1:33:32

at carnivore soldier.

1:33:34

And of course I'm at carnivore backwoods. So the next question I got

1:33:37

on here is from Charlotte.

1:33:40

Electrolytes. There was a trend on Tik Tok where

1:33:41

people added Himalayan salt and lemon

1:33:46

or lime to their water is Himalayan

1:33:46

salt with lemon or lemon juice, a

1:33:50

good way to get electrolytes in it. Who quick answer my pet peeve.

1:33:55

I'll go. What drives me crazy is I hear a lot

1:33:57

of advice when people ask about my

1:34:02

weight loss is stalled or just anything. The candid advice is up your fat.

1:34:07

Take electrolytes. I don't like that answer because

1:34:08

there is a such thing as too little

1:34:12

electrolytes or is also a such thing

1:34:12

as too much electrolytes, right?

1:34:15

Both can essentially land you, land you

1:34:15

in the hospital and, and be serious.

1:34:19

So unless you're having side effects

1:34:19

like too little side effects, if

1:34:24

you have heart palpitations or

1:34:24

extreme fatigue or diarrhea, vomiting

1:34:29

dehydration, muscle cramps confusion.

1:34:33

Tiredness and things like that. You don't really need electrolytes.

1:34:37

You should be able to get everything

1:34:37

you need in in food another thing is

1:34:41

you're also not consuming a lot of carbs

1:34:41

because the glucose your body's always

1:34:45

gonna Preference glucose first, right?

1:34:48

So the glucose component as well

1:34:48

as a fiber component interferes

1:34:52

with the absorption Of vitamins and

1:34:52

minerals to include electrolytes.

1:34:56

So if you're not eating a high

1:34:56

carb diet, a high fiber diet,

1:35:00

you have no interference. You're actually absorbing more

1:35:01

of those vitamins and minerals.

1:35:06

Too much electrolytes can

1:35:06

also land you in the hospital.

1:35:08

I landed in the hospital. My organs were shutting down from too

1:35:10

little electrolytes when I was sick.

1:35:14

So I was vomiting and I

1:35:14

had a coming out both ends.

1:35:17

So I landed in the hospital too much.

1:35:19

can be dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea,

1:35:19

hyperkalemia, which is too much potassium.

1:35:25

It can affect your heart. It can affect your kidney function.

1:35:29

So these can be very, very serious things.

1:35:32

So I don't promote taking electrolyte

1:35:32

supplements unless you have to, because

1:35:37

if you take too much, You can, you can

1:35:37

end up in the hospital have some serious

1:35:42

things going on just as taking too little.

1:35:45

So unless you have side effects, like some

1:35:45

of what I just mentioned, then there's

1:35:49

truly no need for you to supplement. Because like I said, if you take

1:35:51

too much, that could be just as

1:35:54

serious as taking too little.

1:35:56

So that's why I don't like that. Candid take electrolytes or up your

1:35:58

fat because fat has side effects

1:36:03

too, if you have too much of it. But that's why, that's why that's

1:36:04

one of my pet peeves is because

1:36:07

these side effects can be serious

1:36:07

and people just recommending taking

1:36:11

electrolytes just to take electrolytes. I just don't agree with that.

1:36:15

That's my soapbox. Sorry, but that drives me crazy.

1:36:18

Yeah. I agree with that. A

1:36:22

When you first start the carnivore

1:36:22

diet or ketogenic diet, you're going

1:36:25

to eat a lot and then you're going

1:36:25

to feel what's called keto flu,

1:36:29

which is partially low electrolytes

1:36:29

and partially addiction to carbs.

1:36:33

You're getting over in that case. Yes, you take them while you have that.

1:36:37

And I don't take any now. I just eat salted meat.

1:36:40

That's what I and butter. That's salted butter. Salt for me.

1:36:42

That's all I don't take. I do take magnesium

1:36:44

occasionally if I get cramps.

1:36:47

That's very rare. So I would say that and what I did

1:36:48

for my electrolytes was I drank dill

1:36:53

pickle juice, which is technically not

1:36:53

carnivore, but it's full of electrolytes.

1:36:57

A lot of athletes do it. It works really well.

1:37:00

And for me, it satiated me

1:37:00

to help me with my cravings.

1:37:03

So if you're having cravings and you're

1:37:03

starting this diet out and you're getting

1:37:06

the keto flu, then maybe dill pickle

1:37:06

juice would be a good thing for you.

1:37:10

Or you can just do salt and water,

1:37:10

which I did some of that too.

1:37:12

So that's it, but I don't take it now. I don't take any, any electrolytes.

1:37:21

I, I completely agree with

1:37:21

what's been said here.

1:37:25

Early on. You may need to take them, but again,

1:37:26

that's that's because you're low on them.

1:37:30

If you're not low, then

1:37:30

there's no reason to take it.

1:37:33

And I completely agree with Nicole

1:37:33

about, that you got to be careful

1:37:37

and not take too many electrolytes. All right.

1:37:44

Keto Cheeto, how many eggs

1:37:44

does everyone eat in a day?

1:37:49

Four . I can't eat more than 4 0 1 sing

1:37:57

I, I maybe I was gonna say I'll

1:37:57

eat like maybe two or three

1:38:00

eggs once a week, and that's it.

1:38:02

I don't eat plot eggs. When I'm, when I'm eating

1:38:06

eggs, I'll probably eat between

1:38:09

four to eight eggs a day. But then I'll have.

1:38:11

Days where I don't eat any, now when I

1:38:11

1st started the diet, I was pretty much

1:38:15

consuming on the average 6 eggs a day. But yeah, it's normally in that

1:38:18

range 4 to 8 when I'm consuming them,

1:38:21

but I don't consume them every day. Now.

1:38:24

Yeah, me 2 eggs and I

1:38:24

don't eat them every day.

1:38:26

So I eat, like I said, it's a

1:38:26

social thing with my son, so

1:38:29

I have him every other week. So maybe every other

1:38:30

weekend I might have a. Occasional hard boiled eggs, occasional.

1:38:37

How many hard boiled eggs can you eat in one sitting? That's where I have my cap at

1:38:39

four because I'm like, nope.

1:38:43

I just do two and I cut them in half

1:38:43

and then put salt all over them.

1:38:46

And by the time I'm done, I'm, I'm full.

1:38:48

That's a, that could be like a meal right there. I, I've ate quite a few hard boiled eggs.

1:38:53

I never counted how many I

1:38:53

ate in one sitting, but I I've

1:38:55

done it, but not recently. All right.

1:39:00

I posted in private chat for you

1:39:00

guys if you want to read that.

1:39:05

Let's see here. This person says strategic

1:39:08

fasting is very healthy.

1:39:10

Sorry to hear misinformation. Sorry to hear this information

1:39:12

here, stressing them.

1:39:18

Misinformation. It's just an opinion.

1:39:21

It's not misinformation. I think fasting, is an individual thing.

1:39:27

So I don't think anybody

1:39:27

gave any misinformation.

1:39:31

I think it's all respect

1:39:31

to the person's opinion.

1:39:33

Yeah. No one said not to ever fast here.

1:39:37

That's not, we all fast here. We're all either.

1:39:39

Oh, mad or too mad. When I made my comment,

1:39:41

I was coming at it.

1:39:43

There is a point where it does stress the body. It does cause anxiety.

1:39:46

It does. It, it, it is, it does raise cortisol.

1:39:49

I'm not saying it happens

1:39:49

right away immediately, but.

1:39:52

Long term, the longer you fast, it

1:39:52

is a natural stress to the body.

1:39:57

Every once in a while, it's not going to

1:39:57

bother you, but yeah, if, if you're trying

1:40:00

to intentionally fast, like I know people

1:40:00

who fast who's tried fast in three days

1:40:04

in a row or two days in a row or whatever,

1:40:04

there does come a point to where it does.

1:40:09

Cause a physiological stressful

1:40:09

response to your body.

1:40:12

That's the point I was, I was making

1:40:12

that I don't, I, that's why I don't agree

1:40:16

with fasting because it is a stress at

1:40:16

some point to your body, but everyone on

1:40:20

the screen fast, whether it's 23 hours,

1:40:20

16 hours, 18 hours, we're all fasting.

1:40:26

But that was the point I was making.

1:40:28

There comes a point to where it does

1:40:28

have a physiological response to your,

1:40:32

to your body, depending on how you're

1:40:32

fasting and how long you're fasting.

1:40:38

I agree. And I, and I would say this, there's

1:40:39

four people on here and all four

1:40:43

people are given their personal

1:40:43

opinions, and it's our perspective

1:40:47

from, from the way we've done this. And there's no misinformation here.

1:40:50

We're just simply giving you our opinions. It is up to you to make your

1:40:52

decision on what you want to

1:40:55

do in your particular case. Charlotte says, what is OMAD and 2MAD?

1:40:59

So OMAD stands for one meal a day.

1:41:02

And two mad is for two meals a day.

1:41:05

And then you'll hear some people say

1:41:05

three mad, which is three meals a day.

1:41:10

Oh, Matt is the most common term, but

1:41:10

you hear that a lot now where people

1:41:14

are eating more than one meal a day. So then they say two mad and three mad.

1:41:17

But that's just what it comes down. How many meals a day do you need to eat?

1:41:20

Most days I go one, I go.

1:41:23

Oh, mad, but there are those

1:41:23

days where I just, I feel like

1:41:26

I got to eat during lunch. And so then I will have, I'll have

1:41:27

a meal in the middle of the day.

1:41:31

I never eat breakfast. So I never eat 3 meals a day.

1:41:35

If I eat early morning,

1:41:35

then I won't eat lunch.

1:41:38

I'll still only have 2 meals. I'll just end up skipping

1:41:40

lunch and having dinner. Let's see here.

1:41:44

Looks like we got a super

1:41:44

chat from somebody here.

1:41:48

I'm not sure whose channel that was on. It's definitely not mine

1:41:50

because I'm not monetized. Carry on 72 weeks without carbs, OMAD

1:41:52

and 2MAD, record exercise and sunshine.

1:41:58

All right, Ron. Way to go, man. That's awesome.

1:42:03

And we appreciate it. Thanks. I don't know if it was me or

1:42:04

these other guys, but thanks. I know I interacted with

1:42:06

I'm sorry, Christopher.

1:42:10

Ellis. So thanks a lot. What's RON?

1:42:12

That's the type of money it is? Yeah.

1:42:15

That's a currency. Interesting.

1:42:17

So yeah. Thanks, Chris.

1:42:21

I'm not familiar with it,

1:42:21

but we can figure that out.

1:42:24

Anyways, Romanian currency.

1:42:28

Yeah. I'm sitting here trying

1:42:29

to flip through comments.

1:42:38

That's the first time I've seen that. It's welcome though.

1:42:41

Definitely appreciate it. Wait, wait, wait. This isn't, this is usually a sound

1:42:43

effect for mine, but I'll do it anyway.

1:42:49

Ah, nice. I like it. Alright guys, I'm at the

1:42:52

bottom of the comments here.

1:42:55

If anybody has a last minute question...

1:42:58

Feel to throw it in here right now. We're going to go 10 minutes.

1:43:00

I'm going to let each guy here,

1:43:00

each person, excuse me, Nicole.

1:43:03

I don't mean guy. Each person give us a, what you're

1:43:04

1:43:08

got going on, your, your views, your

1:43:08

points, your, what are you doing tomorrow?

1:43:12
