0:00

All right. All right. All right. Carnivore soldier coming

0:02

at you from Austin, Texas. And today we

0:04

have another video in our

0:06

podcast and video series called the

0:08

carnivore way in which we

0:10

highlight YouTube content creators that are on the

0:12

carnivore lifestyle. In this episode,

0:14

we're talking to UK

0:16

carnivore guy, Paul all

0:18

the way from the UK across the pond. And

0:21

let me bring Paul and let him introduce himself

0:23

real quick. Hey, good morning, Paul. Good

0:25

morning. How are you doing? Great. Why don't

0:27

you go ahead and do a quick introduction

0:30

of yourself and just tell us who

0:32

you are, where you're from, what do you do, and and

0:34

you can start into your carnivore story.

0:36

Yeah, and first of all, thanks a lot for having us on. We

0:38

do appreciate it. I love the idea of getting

0:41

carnivores perspectives from different parts

0:43

of the world. So, great idea. Yeah, I'm

0:45

Paul, as you said. I'm 46 year

0:47

old from the UK. Most

0:50

people from the UK will be able to tell by my accent that I'm

0:52

from up in the northeast of England. But

0:54

I actually live down closer to London

0:56

area now in a county called Essex.

0:59

Been here for about nine years now, love it here.

1:01

I've got a nice job in a busy

1:03

airport nearby. And yeah, I started

1:05

Carnivore, what, I think it's day 73

1:09

now, not too long, still early days

1:11

really. But I have seen benefits already,

1:14

really enjoying it. I found it originally

1:17

through a YouTube channel. I

1:19

watch a lot of Joe

1:21

Jordan Peterson videos. And I think

1:23

a clip came up of him talking to Joe Rogan

1:26

about his experience and his daughter's experience.

1:28

He's just eating nothing but meat. Same mental to me, but I'm one of these people,

1:30

I do like, if I get the idea

1:32

in my head, I do a lot of research on it. Which

1:34

I did. And I think one of the first people I found was Ken

1:37

Berry, watched a lot of his videos. And

1:39

for me, just. made sense compared

1:42

to what I was eating. It just made perfect

1:44

sense that that is something the human body should be

1:46

absorbing. So I thought, yeah, I'd give it a

1:48

try for 30 days. I wanted to do a minimum

1:50

of 30 days, but ideally minimum

1:53

of 90. So I'm almost at me

1:55

90 day mark. But yeah,

1:57

it's going really well, I can't

1:59

complain. So, you don't strike

2:01

me as a guy who was heavily overweight when you started.

2:05

What's your reasons for doing this? Like, why did you start

2:07

this? Yeah, in a way, because

2:09

I'm doing a YouTube channel, I'd love some massive

2:11

story about... I've never been severely depressed

2:14

or massively overweighed because, I think that

2:16

would be a great story to get out. But really

2:18

I'm just a normal guy. I've never been massively

2:21

overweight. I think my biggest was about,

2:23

oh, 13 years

2:25

ago. I used to drive buses and I got up

2:27

to about 15 stone. So I don't

2:29

know whether you use that. use pounds,

2:33

but at 14 to a stone and I was 15 stone. So

2:35

that was me heaviest. I'm now down to about,

2:37

I think I'm about 165,

2:40

167 pounds. So yeah, weight wise, I'm not

2:43

really too worried about it. But I did

2:45

suffer from high blood pressure.

2:47

I've been on high blood pressure tablets for quite a while.

2:49

The day I started the carnivore diet, I stopped

2:52

taking them and I started putting salt on everything, which

2:54

we dropped. Told us not to do the blood

2:56

pressures come all the way down to normal and stayed

2:58

normal. So yeah, fantastic

3:01

with that. But I think the main reason I did it

3:03

is I've got young kids. I've got one Jew in

3:05

December as well. And I just want

3:07

to, I think this is a big enough reason

3:09

for anybody is to prevent them in

3:11

the long run. So when you're in your fifties and sixties,

3:14

seventies, whenever it is, when you start

3:16

getting major problems, then hopefully

3:18

this will give us more time or completely

3:20

prevent it from happening in the first place.

3:23

Yeah, being the guy who's in his fifties, I'm

3:25

57. So I definitely

3:27

relate to that because that's what happened to me. I hit

3:30

I was an athlete all my life

3:32

and a soldier and a military

3:34

guy. So I was always pretty fit. I was

3:36

never like totally bad out of shape

3:38

until I hit my fifties. I think her late

3:40

forties, early fifties. Then. My body

3:43

stopped responding to exercise. I actually played rugby.

3:45

So one of your sports there, I never played

3:47

soccer, but I played rugby. Yeah. I was second row

3:50

for our university, Michigan state university

3:52

and a second row for a military team and

3:55

I had a blast last doing that as a great sport.

3:57

But yeah, so I, I had done my whole

3:59

year, my whole life. I had worked out and

4:02

had, good response. And then I knew

4:04

what my body responded to exercise like, but then

4:06

when I hit my late forties, early fifties, my

4:08

body didn't respond the same and I started sliding

4:11

down and injury started piling up

4:13

and I just, yeah, it was just

4:15

not good. And then by the time I was, by

4:17

the time I retired from the army, I couldn't even run anymore.

4:19

I was on what's called a profile walking profile.

4:21

So during my PT test, I would actually speed walk.

4:24

Which is still pretty hard, but it

4:26

mentally, it messes with you. You can't run anymore. It's

4:28

like, am I ever going to run again? And I never thought

4:30

I would, I thought my running days are over. And

4:33

now I'm out sprinting and I'm running. This is an amazing

4:35

diet. So it sounds to me like you

4:37

more did a preventative and also

4:40

an optimization protocol for

4:42

the carnivore diet. Yeah.

4:43

100%. Just the other things

4:46

that I heard about, like regarding skin conditions,

4:48

I used to get quite a bit of dry skin around my nostrils

4:51

and on my cheeks. And that cleared up as well.

4:54

And obviously like you say, the older you get. The,

4:56

injuries can start to creep in. And I noticed

4:59

I was getting like a slight pain in my left knee,

5:01

which I damaged me cartilage when I was a child.

5:03

And the doctor said when I was doing

5:06

me basic training for the army, he said,

5:08

cause I was getting pains in it then. And he said, when

5:10

you get older, you could really have problems

5:12

with that. Cause I've got like a big bump

5:14

on me knee. So with my

5:16

current job, I'm doing a lot of walking and I would sometimes

5:19

fail it. That's another thing that's gone.

5:21

So it's just little things now, but. Big

5:23

things in the future. Another thing

5:26

is sleep wise. I don't sleep

5:28

as long as I used to, but I don't feel as tired

5:31

as if I don't need it as much. Yeah.

5:33

Yeah. Like when I wake up like I'm not drinking coffee

5:35

right now, which is totally not the way I was. I do occasionally

5:38

drink coffee still, but actually I think it's

5:40

causing an inflammation response, like Dr. Chafee

5:42

says. Because when I do, I actually feel

5:44

some aches that have been gone. Like in my

5:46

right thumb. And this is an ammo loading

5:48

thumb. I don't know if you've ever, but when you load

5:51

your ammo, you have to. So I had an ammo

5:53

loading thumb injury from doing multiple

5:55

reps and then my, my my left

5:57

ankle. And when I do drink coffee,

5:59

I notice a flare up like that day. And

6:01

then if I stay off it, it goes away. So

6:04

I think I might just drop coffee altogether, which, it's

6:06

unfortunate because I did like coffee. Yeah.

6:09

I can do without it though. It's not worth it. Yeah,

6:11

of

6:11

course. Some people can get away with drinking is fine. I

6:14

never been a massive coffee drinker because I am

6:16

caffeine used to give us like blurred

6:18

vision and pains behind the eyes.

6:20

If I had more than one cup a day. So

6:23

I've quite often drank decaf

6:25

and I still have when I'm particularly

6:27

at work, I'll have one or two of them. But

6:29

it doesn't seem to affect his touch. We'll

6:32

see.

6:34

That's cool. So yeah so you probably know

6:36

what you said. The first video saw Jordan Peterson.

6:38

I'm a Jordan Peterson follower too, which is interesting because

6:40

I think a lot of people any, so people

6:42

that follow Jordan Peterson are

6:45

into critical thinking, right? Which means

6:47

they have an open mind. They can hear, they can be

6:49

challenged. They're ideal ideas

6:51

and their thought process to be challenged and they're

6:53

open to thinking a different way. And that, I

6:56

think that's why a lot of people watch Joe Rogan

6:58

and Jordan Peterson because they are those

7:00

kind of guys, right? And I saw... The

7:02

Jordan Peterson and the Joe Rogan when he did

7:05

his 30 days on it, where he had his

7:07

vitiligo went away and he lost his weight in

7:09

30 days. And I was like, well, I know this guy doesn't,

7:11

he doesn't BS anybody. He has no

7:13

reason to, he's not making money. So he's just telling

7:16

the truth and same with Jordan Peterson.

7:18

He's not selling something, not selling his carnivore

7:20

book or anything. Right. He's just talking about his

7:22

experience and his daughter. So

7:24

I was like, wow. And then

7:26

I had actually used keto

7:29

when I was active duty. And

7:31

when I was training for a school, you had to do a

7:33

PT test. When you got to the school to show that you could,

7:36

physically do it. Like I was telling you about that Warren officer

7:38

school earlier, we were off camera. You

7:40

have to be able to pass a certain physical. So

7:42

I would get ready for schools with carniv with

7:44

keto. And it worked

7:46

to a degree, and just like every other

7:48

diet I had done, I was a guy who struggled

7:50

with weight when he got in the late 40s. So I

7:53

did several different diets. I did the keto, I

7:55

did the intermittent fasting,

7:57

alternate day fasting, I did all these things. And they were,

7:59

and I fell off all of them. Initially, I always had

8:01

great results on all of them. Every one of them, great results

8:04

initially. But I couldn't stick to them. They're

8:06

just way too hard. This is the first

8:08

way of eating I've ever done that's

8:10

completely sustainable. And I started like

8:12

you. I just said, Hey, I'm going to do 30

8:15

days and see what this does. And see

8:17

if it's BS. But I'm going to do it all

8:19

out. I'm not going to, ease my

8:21

way in. I'm just going to do it day one. Boom. Like you did.

8:23

No meds or whatever. Boom. I'm in day one.

8:26

Like Cortez when he burned his ships when his 600

8:28

soldiers got over to the new world. That's what

8:30

I'm doing. There's no going back. We're going to do it. And

8:32

it's either going to work or it's not. But it's not going to be because

8:34

I didn't try it's going to be because it's a scam

8:37

or it's just going to work. And it worked. So then after

8:39

30 days, I will do another 30 and evaluate

8:41

and then another 30 90 days,

8:44

I was like, all right, this is completely sustainable

8:46

and you're almost there. This is the

8:49

best thing I've ever done. It is literally

8:51

changed my life and I can see it going

8:53

forward where my mental clarity

8:57

in addition to the physical things, my mental clarity

8:59

cleared up amazingly, which I didn't

9:01

even know I had mental clarity issues. I really

9:04

didn't. I thought I was operating a good, I

9:06

was, I'm always been an optimistic person. So I thought

9:08

I was operating pretty well. It's

9:11

night and day now that I'm on this, my attitude,

9:13

my motivation level, I get up and I do

9:15

dishes and I like it and I never liked

9:17

doing dishes. I actually enjoy doing stuff like that.

9:19

I. Mowing the lawn. I enjoy

9:22

it. It's weird. I just didn't, I

9:24

didn't do that. Tell me about your physical and mental

9:26

effects besides. I saw it, you talk about the pain going

9:28

away and your sleep. Is there anything else physically

9:30

and then what has your mental change been like?

9:33

Uh, yeah, physically wise. I think I've

9:35

noticed, I don't do a lot of exercise,

9:37

but when I have, I've started doing a

9:39

little bit recently and when I've done it in the past,

9:41

Just basic things like press ups, sit ups,

9:44

just trying to build up my upper strength. And

9:46

I've done it in the past. The next day or the day

9:48

after, I felt aches, pains

9:50

in my muscles. But on this diet, it's

9:53

like, there's nothing, there's no aches, there's

9:55

no pains. I can feel like I can do more

9:57

than I would have done when I was on

9:59

a high carb, high sugar diet by

10:02

a mile. So physically, yeah, that's

10:04

and feeling more energetic in general.

10:06

That's definitely changed. Mentally,

10:09

I've always been quite good mentally. I don't believe I've

10:11

ever struggled with anything too severe.

10:14

Obviously, everybody gets times

10:16

in their life when it's a bit rough and you feel down.

10:18

But mentally, I think, a bit like

10:20

you, just when I'm at work, I've got a lot of...

10:22

Work to do on the computer, meetings as well,

10:24

things like that. And I just feel like I'm a bit more switched

10:27

on a bit more clear with what I've

10:29

got to see a little bit less stuttery.

10:31

I do still do it sometimes. Sometimes when I'm making

10:34

YouTube videos, there's loads of edits,

10:36

but I'm definitely better than

10:38

I used to be. So overall, mentally

10:41

and physically, it's a plus.

10:44

Yeah. I used to talk about down

10:46

days. So, I I would get days sometimes where

10:48

I'd wake up and it'd be perfectly beautiful day out

10:50

and I'd just be down and I don't know why. And I'd be like, I

10:52

just wonder why that, well, I guess I'm just down. And

10:55

I don't get those anymore. Those like those little blues

10:57

days are gone. I didn't have deep depression or anything,

10:59

but I would have. The days where I'd feel

11:01

a little depressed and I just don't have those anymore.

11:04

I'll tell you what, just what still does affect

11:06

us a little bit. I don't know why it's affected

11:08

his new whole life, but when the winter's

11:10

coming in, in the dark nights, that's,

11:14

I still get a, it's not like a depressed, but

11:16

I still get a little bit. Down that the

11:18

night nights are going, the summer's going. I still feel

11:21

that a little bit. Yeah, that's maybe it has to do with the circadian

11:24

rhythm. I don't know. But yeah I served

11:26

on a submarine in the Navy, so I went to

11:28

a place where there was no sun. Yeah,

11:30

there's no blue sky and the furthest thing you

11:32

could focus on with your eyes was 100 ft.

11:34

There's nothing beyond their death. So when you

11:36

got out of a submarine after being on for

11:38

60 90 days, you couldn't

11:40

focus on things far away for a while to your eyes

11:43

readjusted because they had not been used,

11:45

and and it was always light

11:47

where you worked and always dark where you slept. And

11:50

we were, we worked on 18

11:53

hour rotating shifts. So you did six hours on 12

11:55

off six on 12 off. Well, that's not a 24

11:57

hour day. So one day you wake up and it's breakfast for

11:59

morning. The next day you wake up, it's dinner for morning.

12:02

And the next day you wake up, it might be lunch. It

12:04

was all messed up and yeah,

12:06

did they provide you with things like bitumen tablets

12:09

for like lack of sunlight and things? They

12:10

did not. We would either bring

12:12

our own or we would have it

12:15

was only the longest mission I do is 96 days.

12:17

So it's still a long time, but we

12:19

would have the sun lamps we'd bring

12:21

in and use on ourselves sometimes

12:23

to try to get some natural light,

12:26

I don't know how effective they were. And I'm sure we were all vitamin

12:28

D deficient. They did not give us any of that. It was crazy.

12:30

And we smoked, we did, we did everything bad

12:33

on the, this is back in the eighties, we actually

12:35

smoked on the submarine. Everyone did, I smoked

12:37

Marlboro reds. I smoked a couple packs a day back when

12:39

I smoked, I quit after the Navy, but. Yeah,

12:41

it was not a super healthy environment.

12:44

I'm sure.

12:45

Yeah, I know what it's like. I grew up sort

12:47

of my prime years when I was 18

12:50

and that was in the early 90s. And even

12:52

then, everybody, all

12:54

me family and friends smoked, used to go

12:57

to the pub three nights a week on the weekend,

12:59

drink loads. I could easily

13:01

smoke 40 cigarettes in a night. Oh

13:03

yeah. It was just ridiculous. But

13:05

I'm, I've still

13:08

got a bad habit. I still use me VIP now and

13:10

again. I can't seem to get quite

13:12

off that. And I know that's not good

13:14

for us in terms of the carnivore diet as

13:16

well, but I'm doing what I can to get

13:18

through. So

13:19

yeah, you have to do bridges, right? So when

13:21

I started the carnivore diet, I bridged

13:24

with, I didn't do any sweeteners. So the big thing I

13:26

think that made the difference of the carnivore diet

13:28

was not eating any processed foods.

13:30

Cause I know in the keto diet there were, and there's a lot of

13:33

artificial sweeteners. Process

13:35

foods and all artificial sweeteners just go to a whole

13:37

food diet made the biggest difference for me because when

13:40

I still had sweeteners and the keto diet,

13:42

I would always get cravings.

13:45

By 6 PM every night I

13:47

would start craving sweet stuff. And

13:49

the only way to get rid of it was to cut

13:51

sweeteners out, have you cut all sweeteners out of your diet?

13:54

Well pretty much I have

13:57

had a few elapses. I tell you it's

13:59

what you see in there about sweeteners It is amazing.

14:01

I was doing really well And

14:04

I was at work. I was doing a walk around

14:06

with some of the bosses and me mouth was

14:08

drying up these are like the directors

14:10

of this airport quite big powerful

14:13

people within the organization and I

14:16

said to me, coordinating, I says, have you got a

14:18

mint or something? And she'd give us three ticks, three,

14:20

just three tic tacs. That's all it was. But

14:23

literally the two

14:25

or three days after that, I was getting cravings

14:28

all the time for something sweet. Wow.

14:31

And also in between that, between then

14:33

and now, we've had a couple of colleagues have birthdays

14:35

at work in the office. There's cakes, chocolates

14:37

everywhere. And I'm not going

14:39

to lie. There's times I've I've given, it's

14:41

weird because you feel

14:44

like you're breaking the law in some

14:46

sense, like afterwards you feel

14:48

guilty, like what have I done? One

14:51

thing that has helped us, and I have mentioned it a few times

14:54

in my videos and I'm not using this as an excuse

14:56

just to forgive me of me, me

14:58

sins of sugar. But when

15:00

you've said don't let perfection get in the way of excellence,

15:03

I've actually used that a few times in my videos because it's so

15:05

right. You can't use lapse

15:08

in what you're doing. You can't use

15:10

that as a way to like... As no,

15:12

I'm not going to do it anymore. I just can't do it. You know, you've got

15:14

to just crack on with it. So

15:16

yeah, I have had about, I'd say three

15:18

occasions where I've slipped up. Also

15:20

right at the beginning as well, during the transition,

15:23

because I did do like from day

15:25

one, I went straight into carnival, but I

15:27

had a holiday in Amsterdam

15:29

with me friend. And I must admit

15:31

that was, I was about two weeks in then I had

15:34

some beers then had a couple of McDonald's

15:36

breakfast. So yeah, I'd seen the

15:38

early days. I wasn't. Create

15:41

with it, but I've seen 95

15:43

percent of the time I've been relatively strict.

15:46

Yeah, that's, the whole thing of I call

15:48

it resilience. Building resilience is not

15:50

being able to say no all the time.

15:52

Being resilient is like, when you fall off, you jump

15:54

back up and ride that horse.

15:56

No one saw you fall off, right? You just get back

15:58

on and go. And the more you do

16:01

that, the easier it gets to just snap

16:03

right back on. And then you do notice things

16:05

like that, like your cravings coming back.

16:08

You'll notice that my son, he's

16:10

a carnivore too. He's 14 and he did it on

16:12

his own. I didn't force him or anything. And he.

16:15

He ate a burger at a place called

16:17

what a burger here in Texas. We were very famous.

16:19

I used to love it. We used to go there all the time when

16:21

we were on the standard American diet. And

16:24

he slipped up and ate a burger. And

16:26

he told me, he's like, dad, it didn't even taste

16:28

as good, as I remembered it being. And he's

16:30

like, I wasn't satisfying. And then

16:32

on top of that, it jacked his stomach up where

16:34

he had like digestive issues for a day.

16:37

He's so young, he has no arthritis. He had none of the stuff

16:39

I do that I've, I noticed stuff right away. When

16:41

I slip up I will feel

16:43

the pain pretty quickly. And it's like my body

16:45

telling me like, that's not good. Don't do that. Right.

16:47

And for me that's pretty easy for

16:49

me to tell. Okay. As

16:53

far as like your digestive

16:55

system, what has changed in your digestive system

16:57

and and your hunger signals, like you, you

17:00

brushed on it, that you got cravings. Tell us

17:02

like maybe what you eat in a day

17:04

what your digestive cycles change

17:06

like, and if you, if your hunger signals

17:08

have changed at all.

17:10

Yeah, there's definitely been some changes there. I

17:12

think we'll start off with what I have to eat. Sorry,

17:15

excuse me. Every. Morning's

17:17

pretty much bacon and eggs. I'll have a full pack

17:20

of smoked back bacon and

17:22

at least four eggs fried or scrambled

17:25

in butter. And I don't think

17:27

I'll ever get bored of that. Every time I have it, it's

17:29

just amazing, I get it all

17:31

crispy, beautiful. So I have

17:33

that and then For

17:36

I have about two meals a day generally.

17:38

I can't remember the last time I had three

17:40

must have been right at the beginning So

17:42

my second meal would be there yesterday.

17:44

I had two rump steaks I don't know if

17:46

you call them rump steaks over in America but I

17:49

had two of them absolutely cook them perfectly.

17:51

Sometimes I get them wrong, but yesterday I cooked them

17:53

perfectly Yeah, so I enjoyed that loads of salt

17:56

on it And I keep

17:58

all the butter and the juices and just poured over the top

18:00

and I eat that off amateur wooden chopping

18:02

board Dick Yeah

18:05

that's what I would like to eat every day, but

18:07

it's, I find it quite expensive eating steaks

18:09

all the time. So sometimes I'll have,

18:11

especially when I'm going to work, I'll take what

18:14

you would call ground beef, minced beef here over

18:16

here. But I have had issues

18:18

with that tasting a bit bland. Trying

18:20

to find ways of spice. I don't know.

18:22

I know it's not clean, but I've even

18:24

seen some carnivores chuck a little bit of chili powder

18:26

and I've been tempted to do that. I'll

18:29

just. Chuck some cheese and maybe some scrambled

18:31

eggs into it just to try and make it a bit more interesting.

18:34

But stomach wise, great.

18:36

I used to get heartburn now and again. I haven't

18:38

had that once. I go to the toilet

18:40

a lot less sometimes three times

18:42

a day. Now I'll go, I think

18:45

once once a day, maybe once every two

18:47

days. And it's not very big. So like most

18:50

of what I'm absorbing, what I'm eating, sorry, is

18:52

being absorbed into my body. So

18:54

yeah, that's good. Trying to think stomach

18:56

wise. I tell you what, I

18:59

don't eat them now anyway, but certain things

19:01

used to give us really bad pains in my stomach.

19:03

Must have been some kind of intolerance. Peanuts,

19:06

when I was on the Sound of Western

19:08

diet, peanuts would give us agonising pains

19:10

in my stomach, like really sharp pains. But,

19:13

on this diet, nothing seems to give

19:15

us any aches or pains anyway.

19:18

Yeah. I don't know if you see my meatball recipe,

19:21

but I do have a meatball recipe on my channel. I

19:24

recommend if you'd like to do mince meat and mince beef.

19:27

And it's basically, I get a pound of ground

19:30

beef with mince beef. And I put in

19:32

one egg. And I put in

19:34

a quarter, a third of a cup of cheese,

19:36

grated cheese cheddar cheese, a

19:38

third of a cup of, you

19:41

probably call them pork scratchings. They're basically crushed.

19:43

We call it pork Panko. When you crush it and make it a

19:46

powder, it's pork Panko. So

19:48

you pour in a third, a cup of that. And

19:50

that's a binder and it kind of thickens it. And then you put

19:52

in a third, a cup of bacon bits. So

19:54

you fry up your bacon, cut it up in small bits and throw

19:56

it in and then make meatballs out of it. And while

19:58

they're raw, you put them on a tray on

20:00

like a wax paper or a parchment

20:02

paper and put it in the freezer and freeze them

20:04

raw. And then you can just heat them up

20:06

in the air fryer or the oven. I do

20:08

the air fryer because I don't know if you have an air fryer,

20:11

but if you don't, yeah, fantastic. So you can throw

20:13

the meatball in the air fryer and heat it up

20:15

and then bring them cooked to work as

20:17

lunch and just kind of in quarters and even

20:19

your fingers. That's what I do for my son for his grade

20:21

school or his lunch. Sometimes

20:23

he brings those and he loves them. They have

20:26

a great flavor. The other thing you can

20:28

do I do for my burger patties is

20:30

I salt and butter them heavily. Yeah,

20:32

salted butter and salt and that really makes

20:34

them better if you make them thin so they get crispy

20:37

and then salt And butter them a lot that helps

20:39

a lot.

20:40

Yeah, I think I'm gonna definitely gonna try a few things out

20:42

like that There's a lot of comments on the latest

20:45

video that I put out there and giving

20:47

us suggestions about things I can do with the

20:49

mince So yeah, there's definitely ways

20:51

I can improve that because I do think on its

20:53

own with just a bit of salt It does get a bit bland.

20:56

Yeah, I'll check that out because that does sound

20:58

nice. I did make some Sort of scotch

21:00

eggs

21:01

carnival. I saw that. I want to do that. I told

21:03

my son about that. I want to do that. I like scotch eggs.

21:06

Yeah. Yeah.

21:06

It was really nice. It wasn't my idea. I'd seen

21:08

somebody else do it. So yeah, it was really nice

21:11

when I was young. I bartended and

21:13

I bartended in a British style pub

21:15

over here. I, they had scotch eggs on the menu.

21:17

I used to love eating those things. They were made with

21:19

pork, I think a pork breakfast,

21:21

pork sausage kind of thing wrapped around them. Very

21:24

good. That's something I love. Yeah,

21:27

so that's great. My, my digestive systems.

21:29

Yeah. So I've had to actually relearn my

21:32

hunger signals. Cause when I started I think when

21:34

I began, I started on. Three

21:36

meals a day, plus lots of snacks.

21:39

And cause I was emotionally snacking a lot. I work

21:41

from home, so I would

21:43

just snack all the time, and when

21:45

the standard American diet, I was always hungry too. So

21:47

I would always snack. And so

21:49

I started out with bacon, maybe I'd fry

21:51

up a pound of bacon and put it in the fridge and snack

21:54

on that during the day and cheese.

21:56

And then I would eat three meals a day. And then I

21:59

gradually after about 30 days, I went to two

22:02

to three meals a day with less snacking.

22:04

And then after another 30 days, I was

22:07

on one or two meals a day and almost no snacking.

22:09

And now I snack a couple of times a day.

22:11

It was usually like a bite of butter or something. It's

22:13

always like pure fat. And then

22:15

I will eat one or two times a day. So

22:18

yeah, it's changed. I would say my, and then my

22:20

hunger signals now. I can

22:22

totally trust them. If I actually feel hungry,

22:25

I'm hungry. It's not like an emotional

22:27

snacking thing. I just need to go get some food. And

22:29

if I don't feel hungry, I don't. And every

22:31

now and then I will get an emotional snacking wave

22:34

pass over me, I think, and then I'll just drink some water

22:36

and. delay

22:39

for a few minutes and see if I'm still hungry after a few minutes. And

22:41

if I'm not, it was just a passing phase,

22:43

yeah. Yeah. I know. I have noticed

22:45

my hunger signals definitely changed as well.

22:47

I would get hungry. I used to have to eat every

22:50

four or five hours when I was awake on

22:52

a standard wet and diet. It'd be quite like, that

22:55

would be like a meal every four or five

22:57

hours I'd have to have. So I'd have me breakfast,

22:59

me lunch, me dinner and I'd have a supper.

23:02

So yeah, I think it's,

23:05

at first I found it harder to know when I was

23:08

hungry. Like I didn't feel that hungry at all.

23:10

I'd have me bacon and eggs in the morning and

23:12

then I would be like, I don't really feel

23:14

like I should eat anything. But I ate

23:17

more because the videos that I'd seen had

23:19

said, eat as much as you can, as

23:21

much fatty meat, don't worry about portion size.

23:23

So I just felt like I had to eat more but

23:25

now two meals, two, they're not even

23:28

massive meals. They're, you know, I'm

23:30

fine and I don't, I think I try and get

23:32

in about 16 hours fast if I can,

23:34

between. the last one in the first

23:36

one. So yeah, it's,

23:39

it is, it changes. It's a bit, it takes a bit

23:41

getting used to, but yeah, I think I'm

23:43

sorted now. I think the the nutrient

23:45

density of the food we're eating so different

23:47

that, when you first go on it, you think, oh my gosh,

23:49

this is going to be so expensive for me to be

23:52

able to do this. But then

23:54

you start eating so much less food

23:56

and you're not buying ingredients. You're not buying.

23:58

All these sides, you're not buying, you're not throwing

24:01

food away. I barely generate trash

24:03

now. My trash is you're single, like me, probably.

24:05

Right. Are you, I assume, by the way?

24:07

No, well, it's a complicated one. I've

24:09

got a partner that I live with, but we're not together

24:12

anymore. So we're here looking after

24:14

the kids. She's got one, like I said, during December

24:16

as well. We're not, it's a bit

24:18

of a complicated situation, but yeah.

24:20

But you're carnivore alone. Yes. I'm

24:22

carnivore alone. Me sort of ex

24:24

partner, she is. Standard

24:27

Western diet even my daughter,

24:29

she's two and a half, she eats a lot

24:31

of rubbish and I hate saying it, but yeah,

24:33

it's difficult. She's a very fussy eater. I've

24:35

mentioned this before, one of my videos before as well,

24:37

trying, I'd love to get her into a

24:40

more animal based diet. But

24:42

yeah, there's chocolate everywhere in the

24:44

house. There's crisps, snacks,

24:46

everything that I used to eat everywhere.

24:50

That can't be easy. No it's

24:52

not. I do find it. What's the most difficult

24:54

thing is like knowing that

24:56

if they could switch

24:58

over, it would improve their life so much,

25:00

but you can't, one thing I've noticed is you can't

25:03

like push it onto people too much. They just want,

25:06

they need to be ready to accept it. And not everybody's

25:08

got that in them yet.

25:10

Yeah. You have to have a why. And the why

25:13

has to be big. It can't just be

25:15

I want to lose weight for a wedding

25:17

or I want to lose 15 pounds to go to the beach

25:19

or whatever. It can't be like that. It has to be significant

25:22

enough that you're going to change

25:24

your life because it's a pretty radical change. But

25:26

when you do it, you don't have to guess

25:29

whether it's working. It's pretty immediate,

25:31

right? I mean, I noticed in the

25:33

first two weeks, wow, things are changing fast.

25:37

I was losing weight rapidly. My mental

25:39

acuity was better. My energy levels

25:42

were already rising. And then

25:44

once they rose, they just steadied out. And now

25:46

all day long, my energy is like, perfect.

25:49

I call it carnivore Zen. It's just

25:52

sitting there like, all right, we can just do whatever

25:54

we want.

25:55

To me, what is another

25:58

thing that's amazing is how it took us so

26:00

long to get this knowledge, like

26:02

46 year old, you're in your fifties how

26:04

as humans. Have we not figured

26:06

this out a long time ago? I mean, I'm

26:09

a bit of a conspiracy theorist. So I've got lots

26:11

of opinions. I can't go too in

26:13

depth in them because then people think

26:15

I'm mental, but I honestly do believe

26:17

that a lot of it's kept from us. They don't want

26:19

us to be

26:21

healthy. So after

26:23

retiring from the military, I saw a lot of

26:25

stuff, where I was. I started questioning

26:28

a lot more of our government because I saw

26:30

how the government behaved overseas in,

26:33

in military operations and who

26:35

is getting paid to do what, and that

26:37

seemed more important than what our real mission

26:39

was when you see breaking

26:41

on and, general dynamics,

26:44

these huge contracts getting paid forever,

26:46

and these, and now you see the war in Ukraine,

26:49

these, so you see that there, people are making

26:51

money. If you follow the money, it kind of shows you what's

26:53

going on and why. Yeah. Decisions are getting made

26:55

that don't make logical sense. It's like, okay, we

26:57

killed Osama bin Laden. So why are we still in Afghanistan?

27:00

What's this tactical and you know, what's the

27:02

significance of Afghanistan. Right. And there's no

27:04

good answer other than people are getting paid to be

27:06

there. And and then you see the food

27:08

and drug administration, and I'm sure there's

27:11

some kind of administration in England might be similar,

27:13

but we have a government agency that regulates

27:15

both food and drugs getting

27:17

paid by the food and drug companies.

27:20

So they're acting in their best interest, obviously,

27:22

and their best interest is to make addictive foods.

27:26

That will keep us alive and not kill us and

27:28

put us sick enough that the drug companies

27:30

can make these great drugs like ozempic and these

27:32

statins and these RSSIs, these, all

27:35

these antidepressants. So they're going to make

27:37

us. just sick enough where

27:40

we're not going to die, but we need these drugs and

27:42

we're going to be lifetime subscribers to these drugs.

27:44

You get on a statin, it's lifetime subscription,

27:47

the kind of customer they like. So this, I don't think

27:49

that is a, I think,

27:52

I don't think that is a conspiracy theory. I think

27:54

that's proven fact, but when

27:56

you're getting fed by news outlets

27:58

that are paid by these companies as well, to put out

28:00

their narrative, you're getting a certain narrative

28:03

that covers what they believe. And

28:06

yeah, I'm right there with you. I

28:09

am I, and my experience is from my experience

28:11

and I, you can't, you can

28:13

say you have a different opinion, but you can't say I'm wrong

28:16

because I know what I've seen and I'm

28:18

sure you'd same thing. And the fact

28:20

that it's every Western country. Yeah,

28:22

it's the same way. And you go to the Eastern countries

28:25

and they're not quite that way. There's a different, they

28:27

have their own control problems and control

28:29

messages, but it's a different spin. Western

28:32

countries, we're like all lockstep. Yeah.

28:35

And

28:35

Everything's in place for us as well from

28:37

being kids. So you've got, you've

28:39

got your Your birthdays, we eat lots of cakes,

28:41

chocolates and sweets. You've got your Christmas. You've got your

28:43

Halloween. You've got Easter chocolate

28:45

eggs everywhere. Like it's a constant

28:48

feed of sugar. That's

28:50

where the money is. The sugar and the pharmaceutical.

28:52

So the two combined working together,

28:54

they've got that much money. They can pay governments to

28:56

say whatever they want. They can pay. I know Dr.

28:59

Shafi's mentioned it before about Harvard

29:01

professors being paid to say this and say that.

29:03

And I do believe that's all part

29:05

of it. Want

29:07

to be on it. You said. There's a,

29:09

I don't know if you've seen it. I have a documentary

29:12

playlist where I do movie reviews

29:14

for documentaries that are available on YouTube

29:17

for free and on Tubi, which is an app.

29:19

I don't know if they're available in Europe. I imagine the YouTube

29:21

ones are, but there's a great documentary

29:23

called That Sugar Film, which is

29:26

fantastic. It's an Australian guy who.

29:28

deep dives into the sugar industry. And that's

29:30

really a good one. And also puts himself on

29:33

from a whole food diet to a sugar

29:35

based diet, but he is only eating

29:37

the recommended allowance of sugar

29:39

that the Australian health

29:42

administration, whatever they are, says you

29:44

should eat. And he's, and his

29:46

rules are, he can only eat sugars that are

29:48

hidden in healthy foods. So

29:50

yogurts, cereals, milks,

29:53

these kinds of things. And he starts

29:55

doing I think it's 20 tablespoons

29:57

a day of sugar is what the recommended

29:59

daily allowance in Australia is. And

30:01

in America, it's even worse. I think it was like 40. It was crazy.

30:04

So he starts out in Australia and he puts

30:06

on all this weight, gets a fatty liver, like in 30

30:09

or 60 days. As fast as we saw the results

30:11

going to carnivore from a

30:13

standard diet, he saw that going the other way.

30:15

It's that fast. And that was amazing

30:18

to me because I'd never seen that before. I've never seen someone from

30:20

a whole food diet. Switch over.

30:22

And it was great to watch. And then at the end

30:24

of the movie, he switches back and

30:26

and the results are just as fast. But now he

30:28

is not eating a carnivore diet. He was eating more

30:30

of a keto diet, a whole food diet natural.

30:33

Yeah. And That's fine. I think cutting

30:35

out processed food, seed oil, sugar, and

30:37

refined wheat is 95 percent

30:40

of the problem. If you do that, you're pretty

30:42

good.

30:43

Yeah, yeah, totally agree. I mean, even vegans,

30:46

I've spoke to some vegans. I like to watch

30:48

content that sort of conflicts

30:50

with my own in a way as well. And

30:53

vegans are doing, they're just, they're doing

30:55

the same thing in the sense that they're trying to find

30:58

away from getting out

31:00

of this high sugar, high carb, better health, better

31:02

lifestyle. I don't want

31:05

to be like in arguments with them. I can see

31:07

why they're doing that. I just think they maybe

31:10

don't appreciate or understand

31:12

fully what the carnivore diet can do yet.

31:15

And I've seen on YouTube, some

31:17

vegans that have switched over to carnivore and

31:20

they've noticed a massive improvement, but yeah,

31:22

these. Even fruits and vegetables

31:24

have got like, especially fruits have got

31:27

a lot of sugar in them. So I don't,

31:29

I was never a big fan of fruit and veg anyway, even

31:31

on the standard Western diet. I was more of a junk food

31:34

man, like pizzas, kebabs and

31:37

pies, pasties, anything with pastry cakes

31:39

and chocolate, all that sort of stuff. So

31:42

yeah, I totally agree. I totally agree with

31:44

that.

31:45

Yeah. I don't know if you've seen... Maggie

31:47

White, the 83 year old rancher from Canada.

31:50

Yes, she's

31:52

pretty amazing. She talks about growing up in the forties

31:55

and in Canada. So back then

31:57

in the 40s, 50s, even the 60s, you

32:00

had fruit that was seasonal to your region.

32:02

That's all you had. There was no, none

32:04

of this. Hey, we got bananas in Michigan

32:06

in the middle of winter, which we have now, right?

32:09

And the fruit was not genetically

32:11

modified to be sweeter. Cause it

32:13

was pretty local natural stuff. So she said

32:15

that the apples they had were like Cran apples

32:18

and up in Canada, she's

32:20

way up North. So she had very

32:22

little fruit to pick from and she didn't like any

32:24

of it. So she never ate any. And that makes sense.

32:26

You look at the Inuit, which are the Eskimos

32:29

who live up in this Arctic circle. They don't eat any

32:31

fruit. If they do, it's very little in some very

32:33

few berries. And It's a secondary food when they

32:35

can't find real food. The

32:37

real food is going to be it's

32:39

going to be the antelope that

32:42

they have up there, caribou, they call it, or it'll

32:44

be a seal or fish.

32:46

That's the real food. And they eat that whenever they can.

32:48

And they eat that in, in if they're. Occasionally

32:52

they'll get berries and stuff, but it's not like

32:54

a hunting gathering is not meaning you're

32:56

eating berries every day for the whole year or

32:58

even weekly, you're eating it just in season

33:01

and it's not as sweet, so it doesn't taste as good.

33:03

I think some of the things they've done they've reengineered

33:06

foods. I don't know if you've seen my video on McDonald's

33:09

french fries and the 14 ingredients in

33:11

a McDonald's french fry, but when I grew up

33:13

in, in the seventies and the

33:16

sixties, french fries. were made from

33:18

potatoes that you cut and fried

33:20

in lard and put salt on it. And that was three ingredients.

33:22

That's all it was. Now there's 14

33:25

ingredients in a dang French fry at

33:27

McDonald's and they're designed

33:29

and the sugar film talks about finding the

33:31

bliss point. And these guys have

33:33

designed these to have a bliss point as

33:35

a result. They're highly

33:37

addictive and they

33:39

are the number one selling item that mcdonald's

33:41

sells is french fries. It's the number one seller

33:43

out of all their items. Yeah, that

33:46

is crazy. Yeah, it can't

33:48

be cheaper and easier to make a 14

33:50

ingredient french fry. It's gotta be

33:53

infinitely harder and more expensive, but

33:56

yeah, more profitable, isn't it? That's profitable.

33:58

That says they see these are engineered, these foods.

34:01

There's nothing in nature that naturally

34:03

occurs unless correct me if I'm wrong, no one's ever

34:05

told me this. That is both sweet and

34:07

salty at the same time and

34:10

available for us to eat. And that is

34:12

what creates that bliss point. So this is everything

34:14

that's sweet and salty, and you see it everywhere. You see

34:17

these popcorns that have salt and caramel

34:19

and you see all these sweet, salty combinations.

34:22

And some are hidden and some are right out front,

34:24

but they actually do create this

34:26

addictiveness. And then you add in

34:28

seed oils. If you fry in a seed oil instead

34:31

of lard, it's more addictive as well. If you get carbohydrates.

34:34

fried and seed oils add to the addiction. So

34:36

it's really crazy and super

34:38

poisonous. Yeah.

34:39

It's strange. I noticed the other day as

34:42

well. I was wanting to get some sausages from

34:44

my local supermarket and every

34:47

single pack had sugar

34:49

in it. And I'm like, yeah, yeah. I'm

34:52

sugar. And I'm like I can understand the preservative

34:54

side of it maybe, but it's.

34:57

I don't want sausages with sugar in it, you know what

34:59

I mean? So, I couldn't, I just couldn't

35:01

buy any. I did end up going to the butchers and

35:03

got some better quality ones, but why,

35:05

I just can't see why it needs to

35:07

have that much sugar. Yeah, I think I commented on that. I

35:09

think what, some of the things they are is when

35:11

it browns the sugar will brown

35:13

and they do like that. So when you fry it up

35:16

a patty and it browns up, that's a lot of times

35:18

that's sugar caramelizing. And then

35:20

it is again it'll basically preserve

35:22

it. So the next trust is a preservative.

35:24

So it stays, it has a longer shelf life. Anything

35:27

has a long shelf life is modified,

35:29

right? It's, and that's, that's, you

35:31

gotta kind of stay away from. So I tell people when they

35:33

do carnivore. For me, when I go grocery shopping

35:35

now, I walk, I speed walk through those aisles

35:37

or I just bypass them and go to the outside and

35:39

hit the meat aisle, the dairy

35:42

aisle. And that's all I hit. And

35:44

then unless I'm buying like Ziploc

35:46

bags or, toilet paper or something,

35:48

that's the only other thing I'd never even go to those

35:50

other aisles. What's the shopping

35:52

experience like for you

35:53

now? Yeah, it is

35:55

pretty much the same. I've always walked straight through

35:57

the fruit and veg. Like I said, I was never a fan of

35:59

it. And it goes to show most kids don't

36:02

want it. I know for a fact when I was a kid,

36:04

I was forced to sit at the table for ages trying

36:07

to get those vegetables down. It's like something

36:09

as a kid I realized it was something that I shouldn't be

36:11

eating. But when I go through the supermarket

36:13

now, it's straight... Cause it's designed,

36:16

you've got the fruit and the veg and the other side

36:18

of it, you've got the meat. So I walk straight

36:20

through, I go down the meat aisle. And

36:22

unless I'm getting something for the, a

36:24

member of the family, I go straight from there to

36:26

the water aisle and

36:29

then to the till. So it's

36:32

the one thing that I do, more of in

36:36

the supermarket now is I look at other people.

36:38

Like I look in their shopping cart, I

36:40

look at their bellies. I look what

36:42

kind of health they are. Yeah, me too. And

36:45

sometimes if you see them like struggling

36:47

and that, and you look what they've got in them and you

36:49

want to see something, obviously you can't, but you

36:51

just feel like saying, look, if you did this,

36:53

it would improve so many aspects of your life, but

36:56

they would just look at you like you were a nutcase

36:58

if you started seeing things like that. Yeah, that's

37:01

one of the things I've noticed, but I do find it much more

37:03

enjoyable experience I'm in. You

37:06

know, a couple of bags worth and that's it.

37:08

Yeah, me too. I'm always in, we have the express checkout

37:10

is 15 items or less. I'm always there or

37:12

the self checkout because I always have 10

37:15

to 15 items. I never have a full basket.

37:17

Like I used to have. Yeah. And

37:19

yeah I get it when you, when I go shopping,

37:22

I look around and I just think metabolic syndrome, metabolic

37:24

syndrome, type two diabetes, metabolic, you

37:26

just look around. You're like, Oh my gosh, these people are just

37:28

so sick globally,

37:30

including kids. Now, when I grew

37:32

up. We had one or two fat

37:35

kids in our class. We didn't have 70

37:37

percent of the kids. Now I watch soccer games with

37:39

my son and there's kids on teams

37:42

playing soccer that are obese. I'm like, Oh my

37:44

gosh. Yeah. That wasn't

37:46

the case when I was a kid. If you were

37:48

an athlete, especially there was no fat athletes.

37:50

We had none, not one. They were all like twigs

37:53

in grade school and middle school.

37:55

Yeah. I think it's a combination of two things. I think

37:57

obviously the diet is a massive, probably

38:00

the biggest part, but not only that, when

38:02

we were kids, we weren't. In the house

38:04

on computer games for hours on end,

38:06

we were out, I was jumping over streams,

38:08

making swing bridges, out on me

38:10

bikes. I was just active all the time

38:13

doing something and you don't see

38:15

that as much anywhere near as

38:17

much these days in this country, especially.

38:19

I know there's a lot of. I used to be

38:21

out on the streets when I was five,

38:25

six year old with me friends, no adults about

38:27

me. Mom was just like, stay within

38:29

shouting distance, and then once it got dark,

38:31

I would come in. I know you've got the aspect

38:34

of worrying about, kids being abducted

38:36

and paid files and all that sort of stuff now, which seems

38:38

to be more prolific, but I don't know if

38:40

it is more prolific or we just know more about

38:43

it these days. So there's that, the

38:45

lack of exercise and the food

38:47

combined is making so many obese

38:49

kids all over the world, especially the Western

38:51

world. I think it's a shame because

38:54

if they're like that now, what are they going to be like

38:56

when they get to the forties, fifties and sixties? If

38:58

they get there.

38:59

Yeah. You see these doctors talking about having kids

39:01

with type two diabetes, which never was

39:03

unheard of, right. Unheard of. And

39:06

even young adults with type two diabetes, it's

39:09

crazy. If someone

39:11

tells you have type two diabetes, and then of course,

39:13

their answer is just shoot yourself up with insulin.

39:15

Because that's what the drug companies teach

39:17

doctors now. Cause they basically run this

39:19

medical schools. It's ridiculous.

39:21

It's wow, that's the answer. It's so we're going to treat symptoms

39:24

forever and never cure the problem. And

39:26

that's what the, that's what my issue is, is

39:28

when my mother was alive, she was on antidepressants

39:31

and I'm like, okay, when she told me she was

39:33

on them, I'm like. Okay, so what's the plan?

39:35

What's the condition they're going to correct to get you

39:37

off these? And there was none. This

39:40

was a lifetime, you're just going to be on antidepressants

39:42

the rest of your life. That is not

39:44

medicine. That is treating

39:47

a symptom forever and never

39:49

correcting the issue. Because you

39:51

weren't depressed when you start, before you started them. So,

39:53

you got depressed. So what caused that? And let's

39:55

fix that. Of course I really

39:57

believe that, I don't know if you saw my post recently,

39:59

but I talked the post I put up about low, cholesterol

40:03

and brain function and suicide

40:06

and depression and mental health. But there

40:08

is a clear correlation and we know

40:10

correlation doesn't mean causation. But when

40:12

you have enough data points, you start getting

40:15

a theory. And there's in the NIH

40:17

here in America, National

40:19

Institute of Health has published these reports from

40:21

the nineties pointing to

40:23

low cholesterol. In our

40:26

system, causing people having mental

40:28

and cognitive dysfunction. And that's

40:30

the thing I point to when we jump

40:33

on carnivore, you start adding all this fat to our diet. All

40:35

of a sudden brain function is one of the first thing that happens

40:38

right away. It's like a light switch going on. So

40:41

to me, in my personal experience, I'm thinking,

40:43

I know it's anecdotal, but man, that

40:45

makes a huge difference. And if we could help people,

40:48

turn the corner on their mental health. And

40:50

then get things squared. I just think about our whole society.

40:52

If we were all firing on all cylinders like

40:54

this. And less violent because

40:56

they, they proved that people that committed

40:59

suicide in a violent act rather

41:01

than a passive act like taking drugs, people that shoot themselves

41:03

or jump off bridges or whatever, they have overwhelmingly

41:06

low cholesterol, which is very interesting,

41:08

right? Yeah, that's not epidemiological.

41:10

That's a physical data point. So

41:13

it's not someone's opinion. It's just the way it

41:15

is. And that kind of tells you a lot. So I think

41:18

that. Switching this diet.

41:20

A lot of things point to this diet to being the

41:22

answer for a better society, a better

41:25

life for individuals. It's so

41:27

hard to see. And I felt guilty like

41:29

you. So I had my son, I raised

41:31

him on the standard American diet until he decided

41:34

at 14 to switch. And

41:36

he's got braces, he's got all these things. I wonder if

41:38

I had fed him properly, would he have

41:41

needed braces? Would he have evolved that jaw

41:43

where that jaw would have grown out better? Would

41:46

any of these issues that he had that I saw

41:48

be better? Like now he doesn't have acne. What

41:50

14 year old kid doesn't have acne? Yeah,

41:53

a kid that does cardio or that doesn't have acne because

41:55

I used to buy him all the acne stuff and now

41:57

it just sits in the cabinet and he doesn't use it. It's

41:59

pretty awesome. Excellent.

42:02

Yeah, it's what it is. It's, it

42:04

should be common sense when you think about it. Like

42:06

I used. The analogy, and I've heard other people use

42:08

the analogy of a vehicle, like if you don't

42:11

change the oil, if you don't put the water in, if

42:13

you don't refuel it, if you don't check

42:15

this, the stuff that goes into

42:17

the vehicle is what keeps it working

42:20

for longer. And it's nowhere, no different

42:22

in the sense, we're not mechanical metal

42:24

bits moving around, but we need the right

42:27

fuel. And if we don't get it, we

42:29

don't. Put in the right stuff. Then we're

42:31

going to have breakdowns as well, mentally

42:33

and physically.

42:34

Yeah. We're actually biochemical engines,

42:36

right? And everyone wants to talk about calories

42:39

in calories out, working out and eating calories.

42:41

And that's a physics problem, but we're a biochemistry

42:43

engine. We're not a physics engine, right? It's because

42:46

because wood has calories in it. Yeah.

42:48

And so does leather and you can't eat

42:50

that and live, right? You

42:53

can burn it and it makes calories because calories is an

42:55

energy measurement. So calories

42:57

in calories out is a terrible idea.

43:00

Biochemistry talks about what

43:04

does this calorie, what does this food substance, this gram

43:06

of food, these carbohydrates, how

43:08

are they treated by your body, and how are they changed,

43:10

and what do they do? A protein versus a fat,

43:13

amino acid, carbohydrate, how

43:15

your body reacts to a type of food

43:17

is much more important. And I, like

43:20

you, I talk about... A drag racer,

43:23

these cars that run

43:25

on top fuel and go down the 300

43:27

miles an hour down the down the strip. If

43:30

you get one of those drag racers and you put in unleaded

43:32

regular gas in it, it'll probably

43:35

run and it'll go

43:37

probably the whole distance if you try to

43:39

drive it down there, but it won't be fast.

43:42

It won't run properly, it'll be backfiring

43:44

and it'll probably ruin the engine by the time you get to the end of the

43:46

race. But if you put the right fuel in

43:48

that thing will just propel down like a rocket

43:50

and I think we are like drag cars We're like

43:53

these drag racers ready to go and

43:55

we're putting this terrible fuel in it And

43:57

it's damaging the engine and slowing us down.

44:00

That's why that's my

44:02

that's a good way to put it It's exactly right. I think

44:04

to be honest with you the Fuel

44:06

is the most important thing and

44:08

the hydration now and I know people talk

44:11

about they're concerned about and are

44:13

we getting enough? electrolytes

44:16

or certain vitamins, but I've never really had

44:18

any issues. I've had some slight headaches. It was,

44:20

it's interesting. One of the guys on my latest

44:22

video, I've got loads of comments and I was really

44:25

thankful. Cause I have suffered from

44:27

a few, like what I would, what I've been calling

44:29

keto headaches. And he said,

44:31

he mentioned about drinking too much water.

44:34

He used to drink four liters of water

44:36

a day and he used to get headaches

44:38

He cut it down to two liters a day and

44:40

it stopped. So this

44:43

I only Discovered this a couple of days ago.

44:45

So I am going to just maybe cut me water

44:47

intake down I don't know whether Rubbish

44:50

or not, but if it's worked for him,

44:52

I thought I'd give it a try. I don't get them all the time,

44:54

but I'd say at least once a week I'm getting

44:56

them. So I'm

44:58

gonna give that maybe. Do you think that's a good idea?

45:00

Cutting down from, 'cause I am drinking about, I

45:03

can't have about four of these a day.

45:05

Yeah, you could taper it back. You don't

45:07

have to cut in half. You could just like taper back, say, I'm gonna

45:09

drop to three a day and see what it does. Yeah, it's

45:11

not gonna hurt. You, like you said, this

45:13

is an n equals one experiment. Right? Your own

45:16

body's different than mine. Yeah,

45:18

so you can drink your water and it depends on your

45:20

physical activity too. I'm not super

45:22

active And that's the other great thing in this.

45:24

I've not done a lot of exercise and had

45:26

great physical benefits. Put on muscle, not

45:28

exercising, which is crazy to me,

45:30

right? Yeah, I do. Have you had, I can be

45:32

sitting there and I can feel me muscles like twitching

45:34

in the arm, like,

45:35

yeah, you feel more firm. I

45:37

feel firm in places I wasn't as firm.

45:39

And it's just like muscles coming on fats going away.

45:42

Bone density is increasing. I do a little exercise,

45:45

but not like you, not a lot. I don't go to the gym. I have

45:47

no membership. Most of my exercise, most

45:49

of it is walking. And I do get some

45:51

steps in. But yeah it's pretty

45:53

crazy. This is a it's a life

45:55

changing thing. It really

45:57

has completely changed my life and probably

46:00

changed the trajectory of my life. Let's

46:02

go into your YouTube channel a little bit. Let's talk

46:04

about that. Why would you start a YouTube

46:06

channel? Have you always wanted to be YouTuber?

46:10

Yeah, it's something I've been interested in for a long

46:12

time. I've had a few channels to be honest

46:14

with you all for the years I created. The first

46:16

one was just a little, it was all different

46:18

pranks and silly skits and stuff like that. I did

46:21

that when I was poor early

46:23

twenties. It did all right. I got,

46:25

um, partnership with YouTube at the time.

46:28

I think I've. It's the channel still there, but the videos

46:30

aren't on it. I think I got about 1600

46:33

subscribers on it. So I did that for a

46:35

little while. And then I created a football,

46:38

a soccer yeah, YouTube channel.

46:40

It got that up to about four and a half, 5, 000

46:42

subscribers. But that was just taking up

46:44

so much time because I couldn't, with

46:47

a sports YouTube channel, you have to. Constantly

46:49

be looking at what's happening going to the

46:51

games if you can get to the games thing And

46:54

I live so far away from the team that

46:56

I support it just became too much So I handed

46:58

that over to one of the colleagues

47:00

that was working on it with us so

47:02

I did that and then I just had a little break

47:04

from it And then when I started carnivore, I

47:06

thought it would be the ideal way to Even

47:09

if nobody watched it, it was a good way

47:12

to document my own journey on it. A bit

47:14

like a video or diary. I could look back and

47:16

think about what I was, what did I do in the

47:18

early days on week one, week two,

47:20

week three. And obviously

47:22

if you get subscribers, it's a bonus. You want, you

47:24

don't, I don't think anybody would want to create a YouTube

47:26

channel. And not have people watch

47:28

it unless it purely is just for

47:31

yourself and you could have them all private. No,

47:33

I do I'm happy with the YouTube channel. I think I've

47:35

got I've created it in, I think it was around

47:37

the 20th of August. I've got about 350

47:40

something sub subscribers. But

47:43

what's good is the views are getting three

47:45

times, I'm getting three times, sometimes four times

47:47

the views compared to the subscribers.

47:50

So that's always a good gauge

47:52

of how good the content is, I believe.

47:54

But I would love them or every single one to subscribe,

47:57

I think getting the message out is the most important

47:59

thing. I think that's the biggest reason a lot of YouTubers

48:01

will do it is to spread

48:04

it out. So everybody can benefit

48:06

from this way of life. You know what I mean? We can

48:08

tell. Your parents, I've spoke

48:10

to my parents, my brothers, my sisters me, sorry,

48:12

my sister in law about it. My

48:14

sister in law has done it. She did

48:16

it for about six

48:19

weeks and she lost over a stone. She was, for

48:21

that reason that you mentioned earlier on, she was going on a holiday.

48:23

So she wanted to move here, but since

48:25

then she's come back and she says she wants to keep doing it.

48:28

My brother struggled with it for a little bit. He's

48:30

tempted to go back on it. But me dad

48:32

wasn't interested and he's on statins as

48:34

well. Yeah. I me, me mother

48:37

was struggling with it, but yeah. The YouTube

48:39

thing, I just didn't really, I really enjoy it. I enjoy

48:41

communicating with other people. I like to have my own

48:44

little community there, getting involved

48:46

with your channels like we're doing here. You

48:48

just learn so much from other people. Like I

48:50

say, if I was struggling with the mince or something

48:52

else with that, I could put a video out and I can get

48:54

loads of comments and

48:56

then I can do something about it, so it's not just,

48:59

it's a bit selfish. Really. It's mainly for me

49:01

to help me get through it,

49:02

yeah. It's really rewarding. Excuse

49:04

me. It's really rewarding

49:06

when people jump on and they

49:09

thank you. And it's like humbling I was just doing

49:11

it to get the message out because I had made

49:14

a talk to my neighbors

49:17

and my friends and a lot of them had gone carnivore

49:19

and then they changed their lives and then

49:21

they started telling other people that I didn't

49:24

even know and changing those lives and I thought, wow,

49:26

that's a cool ripple effect. I wonder

49:28

if a YouTube channel would make it better. And if I

49:30

wish I had started on week one like you did,

49:33

or, the beginning of my carnivore journey. I

49:35

didn't start, I started carnivore in March

49:37

22nd and didn't start a YouTube channel until August

49:39

7th. Yeah. So it was a long,

49:42

I was well underway, but what it

49:44

did allow me to do was even though I

49:46

wasn't good at being on YouTube, cause I wasn't, I

49:48

was, my first video is a pretty stiff

49:51

before I relaxed in front of the camera and got used to

49:54

speaking to nobody. It's a weird

49:56

thing, but once you get going, I had the experience

49:58

of being a pretty experienced carnivore

50:01

and seeing real results for extended

50:03

time that. I could speak from a position

50:05

of, okay, this works and

50:07

I could be an authority on it because I've

50:09

done it. And I've seen neighbors and other people do

50:11

it. So it's an easy way to

50:14

I do love having a YouTube channel

50:16

and I do my favorite part of the day

50:18

is either doing interviews like this,

50:20

where I could talk to other carnivores and we can share experiences

50:23

or it's answering

50:25

messages, which I try to answer every message

50:27

and email I get. I know at one point I won't be

50:29

able to. But for now I'm doing

50:31

every one of them. I read them all, try

50:33

to answer them, and I enjoy connecting

50:36

with people. And to

50:40

me, it reminds me of when I was a platoon

50:42

leader. And I had my soldiers and I call

50:44

in my group, I call my platoon members,

50:47

I say, Hey, welcome to the platoon because I

50:49

feel like I've got a great connection with them. We're all

50:52

in the military. We have a brotherhood. You did some training.

50:54

You understand because when you're with other

50:56

people that go through that same thing, you develop a brotherhood

50:59

because you're going through the same, we call it embracing

51:01

the suck. You're going through the same hardship

51:03

together and paying the same price

51:05

together. Taking the same risks together.

51:08

And in this diet, you pay the same price together. So

51:10

even though your experience is a little different than

51:12

mine, but we've gone through enough of the

51:14

same things that we can respect each other as,

51:16

Hey, this guy's a carnivore. He knows, he gets

51:18

it right. He knows what this is all about.

51:21

Yeah.

51:21

Yeah. There is this sort of this connection,

51:24

even when you just first time

51:26

you speak to somebody, this is the first time I spoke to you. There's

51:28

the connection of, we're both going through

51:30

the same thing. And that's, that is another reason

51:32

why I wanted to do the YouTube

51:35

channel, because when I watched. When

51:37

I started researching this, it seemed to be

51:39

all in America. There was very little

51:41

content I could find over here. And I wanted

51:43

to build it over here. This, I wanted to try and build

51:46

the UK community a little bit more, because it

51:48

just seems the Americans, I don't know whether

51:50

it's just because that's what I'm watching.

51:52

I don't know. You can tell me if it's still

51:54

a rare thing over there or not, but it seems

51:56

very rare over here. Like a lot of people

51:58

will think if I tell them I'm on the carnivore diet,

52:00

they'll say, Oh, you mean like the Atkins diet

52:03

or low carb diet. They

52:05

haven't really fully heard or understand

52:07

the carnivore diet yet. So

52:09

like I wanted to try and get the word out around

52:12

this country as well. So that was one, one reason

52:14

I pushed it. And that's why the channel was called the

52:16

UK carnivore guy. But

52:18

yeah, what is it like, is it, can

52:21

you see it growing quickly? Yeah,

52:24

It's going to the point where now, when I'm

52:27

single. So I've gone on dates and stuff. And I've said, yeah,

52:29

I only meet and they go, Oh, like a carnivore

52:31

diet. So they know, and they're not on it.

52:33

And I know, or I tell them I'm a carnivore.

52:36

And they get that. Okay. That means you just eat

52:39

meat. So a lot of people just know what that is now,

52:41

which is at least in my age group. It's

52:43

not totally, not everyone

52:45

gets it, but there's definitely more

52:47

people. And I think it has to do with YouTube's algorithm

52:49

because YouTube will advertise

52:52

to Americans because we are the biggest

52:54

market. So when there's

52:56

a, when there's a paid for advertisement,

52:59

it's going to get marketed to us first. And then the

53:01

UK, Australia, Germany,

53:03

these places that are big markets, right? Europe

53:05

in general. But so I

53:08

think that's why you see more Americans. And then

53:10

because of that, we have more content creators that we

53:12

get exposed to it more, I think because we're the

53:14

biggest advertising market. So I don't know

53:16

about you, but when I first saw, I didn't see

53:18

Jordan Peterson first, I was. I'm

53:21

a Jeep driver. I go off roading in my Jeep

53:23

and I enjoy it. And I was looking

53:25

how to put a part on my Jeep and

53:28

I saw this Dante Fragno video pop

53:30

up. And I was 280 pounds

53:32

feeling miserable and,

53:34

every other diet I've done, I've done from youtube,

53:37

I've learned about it and tried it and I thought,

53:39

well, I've done everything else. This

53:41

looks like it worked for him. So I watched the video

53:43

and I don't know if you've seen his, but frag no freedom.

53:46

He did line dive for 236

53:48

days, I think. Yeah. So I watched

53:50

him and I was like, wow, that's

53:52

transformative. And then

53:55

I but I thought, well, that's like a four year old

53:57

video. So obviously he's back, you know, he's

53:59

done. That was it. That was a one time shot. And I looked

54:01

at a recent video and he actually looked better than

54:04

when he started. And I was like, wow. And this is years

54:07

later. So I thought, and

54:10

the other thing is the guy's not a nutritionist. He's not

54:12

selling a program. And I

54:14

was like, okay, so I'm going to look into this. And

54:16

then I found Dr. Berry. And then I

54:18

found Joe Rogan and Dr. Barry, I'd watched

54:20

when he was keto because he wasn't carnivore before

54:22

he was keto keto for

54:24

a long time. So I was like, when I was doing

54:26

keto back in the army, way back in

54:28

like 17 and 16, he

54:31

was doing that. And I was watching his videos. And

54:33

now he's carnivore. I'm like, well, if he converted to

54:35

carnivore, this must be legit. Cause I know that guy

54:38

is legit. So I started doing

54:40

that, went down that rabbit hole

54:42

and that's what got me into that. What are your

54:44

goals for YouTube channel? Like I know it's

54:46

new for you. You've done YouTube channels in the past. What would you like?

54:49

What would be a successful channel to you?

54:52

I think for me, it's just building the community.

54:54

I'm not worried about like

54:56

I said before, it's nice to get subscribers

54:58

and comments and likes and things that, that is part

55:00

of it. Definitely. I would be, I'd

55:02

be a liar if I said that, I'm not interested in

55:05

any of that, but for me,

55:07

it is building the community here in the UK and.

55:09

And trying to grow my own knowledge and get

55:11

my own knowledge out there. So when people

55:13

in the UK, maybe do a YouTube

55:16

search for a UK carnivores

55:18

that I'm there and I can offer people advice, if

55:20

it's a year or two down the line and they're

55:22

just starting out, being able to

55:25

help people. People's lives dramatically

55:28

change on this. Even if it's just

55:30

in a small way so that they maybe

55:32

get to hear about it. Then for

55:34

me, that's the only reason that

55:36

I'm, the main reason that I'm doing it. So

55:39

you have to grow my audience. That is one

55:41

goal. Grow as quickly as I can.

55:44

And just spread the word. That's all it is.

55:46

I

55:46

think you've actually found some friends there too.

55:49

Some compatriots, right? You've actually

55:51

connected with other carnivores in the UK. Has that been a big

55:53

part of your channel?

55:54

Yes, there's a guy called Carnivore Cabby

55:57

Oh, Mike? Yes,

55:58

yeah. I know Mike. Yeah we're doing him next.

56:00

He's

56:02

up next. Oh nice, yeah. He, I think he was, he

56:04

used to be called the English Carnivore and then he changed

56:06

everything onto another channel the Carnivore Cabby

56:09

and, yeah, he's a good lad. He's, I

56:11

find him quite funny, even without

56:13

him trying to be funny, I do find him quite

56:15

funny and he's posting a lot of things that

56:17

he's cooking on his YouTube channel. I

56:20

just find him interesting. So he's definitely worth the watch.

56:22

I've connected with him. And

56:24

I've watched a lot of other YouTubers in the UK,

56:26

but not really connected. I started talking to

56:29

just briefly via comments

56:31

on YouTube is the Kent carnivore,

56:33

I think he's called. Yeah.

56:36

He's got quite a big following actually. I

56:39

think, I'm sure he's called the Ken Carnivore. I can't remember his

56:41

exact name, but his content's good.

56:43

So yeah there's a few of us creepin

56:46

or poppin up there. But yeah, like I said,

56:48

building up the community is a big

56:50

thing. And then I reckon we'll get

56:52

there. I reckon we'll slowly start catching

56:54

up to the Americans at one point.

56:55

Have you talked to, carl, yeah, Carl

56:57

from Carnivore Nation. No,

56:59

no, I haven't. I've spoke to another

57:02

one. I forgot to mention actually Alex for

57:04

carnivore for life. I think he's called right.

57:07

Yeah. He's a 65 year old. I did a live

57:09

stream on his channel with. With Mike,

57:11

yeah, he has

57:12

the big glasses, right? Yeah.

57:14

Yeah. I know him. Yeah. Yeah.

57:15

Yeah. I spoke to him. I was on a live stream with

57:18

him. He's done so well. He

57:20

still has alcohol on the weekend.

57:22

He still has a few beers and he's lost like

57:24

loads of weight feeling so much better.

57:27

So I think it's, I'd love to be one of these people that could

57:29

moderate. things, but I like that when

57:32

it comes to beers or food, but I don't

57:34

think I'm the kind of guy that could do it. So

57:36

yeah, there's a few of us we're getting there,

57:39

but to grow that community

57:41

is massively important here,

57:43

I think. Yeah. Yeah, it is. It's huge.

57:45

And because this is the only, YouTube has

57:47

its faults but it is the only way

57:50

we're going to get a grassroots message out because.

57:53

Be paid for me. We'll never put this information

57:55

out. And whether it's print or video,

57:57

it will never put this message out. So we have to

58:00

be the advocates, carry the torch and

58:03

get this message out to as many people as we can. So

58:05

that's my goal too. And I, my,

58:08

my channel focuses primarily

58:11

on first responders. And

58:13

veterans because I know, we have a

58:15

higher than average suicide rate and

58:18

I think it's due a lot due

58:20

to the the conditions of life that cause

58:23

people to take their lives hasn't changed. It's

58:25

typically when you have a suicide, you find that it was.

58:28

Relationship. It was financial.

58:30

It was legal issues. Those are the issues that

58:32

tip people over, but the fulcrum has

58:34

changed and made it easier for them to make that

58:36

choice, I think. And that was the standard diet,

58:38

the standard Western diet that has

58:41

lowered our cholesterol, made people take

58:43

violent actions more impulsively, because

58:45

that's another thing. Impulsive actions is part of

58:47

having low cholesterol too. So there's all These pointers

58:49

that mark up. It's okay, so the

58:52

same stresses are there, but now when people are committing

58:54

suicide earlier and faster

58:56

and in terrible ways. And I think a lot

58:58

of it, this is actually a tool we can use. That's my

59:01

goal is if I can save one person, if one

59:04

person's life is turned around, then I'm, that's

59:07

100%. I made it. That's my goal. I know it'll

59:09

do more than that. I do. I have a feeling just

59:12

and not just prevent suicide, but actually just turn

59:14

their lives around and make a better life. So

59:16

exactly. It makes you feel like it's a bit

59:19

of a responsibility. You've got this knowledge. It's your

59:21

responsibility to get it out there and help people.

59:23

If you, like I see, you can't just walk into the

59:25

supermarket and start telling people what they should be doing

59:28

this, but like through a YouTube channel,

59:30

this obviously searching for it, or it's

59:32

recommended to them via something else that they've

59:34

watched. You put the tags in health.

59:36

Good food carnivore for

59:39

some reason gets shown on there. Most

59:41

of my views come through the browse feature or the recommended

59:44

feature on their channels. So

59:46

there obviously must be interested

59:49

at least in what I'm talking about. Yeah,

59:51

I think that is a brilliant way of getting

59:53

it out there to people. There was something I was going to mention

59:55

that I can't remember what it was. Now it's gone. There was

59:57

some, it

59:58

may come back. This is, you talk about responsibility.

1:00:01

I'm a Texan and an American and I

1:00:03

carry a sidearm where I go.

1:00:06

And there's, I saw a video a long time ago

1:00:08

that it was interesting. It said that if

1:00:10

you are trained and capable and

1:00:13

legally allowed to carry a sidearm, you

1:00:15

have a responsibility to do that. You

1:00:17

have the, we call it the responsibility of concealed

1:00:19

carry because you can. You

1:00:22

should, because if a bad actor

1:00:24

starts something near you, you

1:00:26

need to be able to stop it. And if

1:00:28

you dial 9 1 1, they may take 20

1:00:30

minutes to get there. It's all over by the time they get

1:00:32

there. And I know I worked in law enforcement and

1:00:35

the number of crimes that are, intervened

1:00:39

while they're going on by police is very low, especially

1:00:41

violent crimes, home invasions, rapes.

1:00:43

This is all we, it's usually after the fact

1:00:45

you get there and. Like evidence and do

1:00:47

the there is a responsibility

1:00:50

to being educated and trained. And I

1:00:52

think that carries over, not just to like in Texas

1:00:54

where I carry a gun, but it goes into

1:00:56

carnivore. Like we are the trained people

1:00:59

that have actually applied it and know what we're

1:01:01

talking about. We actually

1:01:03

have facts and not feelings and

1:01:05

and that's something, you talked about talking to vegans and fighting

1:01:08

with them. I do notice that this community

1:01:10

is much more open. If a vegan came into my channel,

1:01:12

I'd welcome them. Hey man, let's talk about

1:01:14

it. On the other side, people I've talked

1:01:16

to that are vegans that have switched over, tell me about how

1:01:18

militant they're. groups are. They're

1:01:20

very, because I think they're reasons

1:01:23

for being vegan, although misguided,

1:01:25

are very much we don't want to kill animals

1:01:27

and it's different. We're optimizing health. We're

1:01:30

not, we want to save the planet, even though

1:01:32

that's misguided because they are killing billions

1:01:34

of animals when they're harvesting

1:01:36

wheat. And They're destroying the planet when they, with these

1:01:38

oat milk factories and stuff, worse than cows

1:01:41

can ever do, right? It's amazing, but

1:01:43

that's their, but because that's their

1:01:45

feeling based... argument, it's

1:01:47

really hard to, they're very militant because

1:01:49

they're structured around feelings. We're structured completely

1:01:52

around facts, logic, critical

1:01:54

thinking. And that's why, Jordan Peterson, he's

1:01:56

going to make a critical thinking argument

1:01:59

of facts and logic and no feelings

1:02:01

involved at all.

1:02:02

That's exactly, you've actually just brought back. What

1:02:05

I was wanting to see when I'm on the YouTube

1:02:07

videos as well, you're talk about facts. I'm worried

1:02:09

about saying something that's

1:02:12

not accurate and I might have already done so

1:02:14

because you hear that different, even

1:02:16

the doctors have varying opinions on certain

1:02:19

things trying to kill you or just

1:02:22

different takes on it. So I'm cautious

1:02:24

about what I say, like I try not to give any

1:02:26

kind of medical advice, date, what's happening

1:02:28

for me, but I think there might've been times I've said

1:02:30

something that maybe could be taken the

1:02:32

wrong way or is not quite accurate. So

1:02:35

that's one thing I have to be careful about, but

1:02:38

yeah, facts, I think what

1:02:40

you just talked about, again the vegans, I had

1:02:42

a conversation a couple of days ago on the

1:02:44

Twitter about that very thing. She said something

1:02:46

along the lines of I don't

1:02:48

believe in the exploitation of animals

1:02:51

for commodities or something along them lines.

1:02:54

And I was like, watch. all animals

1:02:56

or just the ones, the big ones that

1:02:58

eat the grass in the field? Are you talking about little ones

1:03:00

that get killed in the crop harvesting?

1:03:03

Yeah. So she didn't really have

1:03:05

an answer to it, but yeah, I just think they're not

1:03:08

quite seeing it. I know

1:03:10

there's a lot of the more a lot of these vegans are also into

1:03:13

the environmental issues that

1:03:15

cows fart and things that, which I don't really. Belief

1:03:18

has any impact whatsoever.

1:03:20

It's a false. It's a false narrative so

1:03:22

when we came to the new world here

1:03:24

in america There were 160

1:03:27

million buffalo roaming the plains,

1:03:30

right? And now we've replaced them with

1:03:32

cattle. So we haven't done anything, and

1:03:34

there's fewer. They're not even, I don't think there's 160

1:03:36

million cattle here. This was

1:03:38

the natural way of things. And

1:03:41

we didn't have global warming. There you go.

1:03:43

Yeah. Doesn't, it doesn't make sense.

1:03:45

Buffalo are not magical animals that don't have

1:03:47

gas

1:03:48

Yeah. Do you talking about gas

1:03:51

that is another thing. Has that changed for you? I definitely

1:03:53

don't do it as much. There's no

1:03:54

gas. It's very little, and if it does, it doesn't

1:03:56

stink at all. Yeah. At all. And even

1:03:58

when I, go to the bathroom, it ver it

1:04:00

rarely stinks at all. There's no fermentation

1:04:03

going on. Yeah. You break down. And so

1:04:05

here's the thing. My dog is a great Dane. He's

1:04:07

130 pounds. He used to have massive

1:04:09

legendary craps that were just huge.

1:04:12

I have it. I had a shovel. I still have

1:04:14

it in the back yard to pick these up because it was like a human

1:04:16

crap. It was huge when he was on kibble.

1:04:19

Now that he's eating raw chicken, he's on a

1:04:21

PMR diet, which is a primary

1:04:23

model raw or anyways.

1:04:25

So it's a predator model raw and it's basically

1:04:28

raw chicken. I grind it up, give him the bones and everything.

1:04:31

His turds are like that big

1:04:33

and they're hard and they have a

1:04:35

lot of bone in and they turn white in the sun from

1:04:37

the calcium. So they're easy to find. If you step

1:04:39

on one, it won't stick to your shoe. It's like stepping on a rock.

1:04:42

It's like stepping on it's crazy. And so

1:04:44

it, for one thing, if you have dogs, it'll

1:04:47

make them super healthy. Also picking

1:04:49

up their waist is super easy.

1:04:52

It's not gross anymore. I can get a bag

1:04:54

and just pick it up. And it's like picking up a couple of stones

1:04:57

in the yard. It's so nice. And

1:04:59

it's cheaper. I save. By

1:05:01

grinding chicken, I am

1:05:03

saving about 40 a month. And

1:05:06

yeah, I was spending between 80 and a hundred

1:05:08

a month. And now I spending between 40

1:05:11

and 60 a month on, on his food. So

1:05:13

it's much cheaper. It just takes some time.

1:05:16

You have to spend some hours, but anyway

1:05:18

okay, we're running out of time. We're over. But let's

1:05:20

tell us how people can find you. I know

1:05:22
