You're welcome! Pre-made raw food can be terribly expensive, especially considering you can structure a fresh meal that is even more nutritionally complete and tailored for your dog for a fraction of the price.

That's the best way to go!

Those are the best experiences because they are stark reminders of why you are doing what you are doing, and they reaffirm the benefits!

🙌💪

Great points, I can relate with that 100% and you are so right. Simpler is better!

Thank you, I'm happy to hear it resonated with you!🙌

Haha, agreed! Cheers! 🙌

Sorry to hear that! Always remember though, even though it might appear a little more expensive on the front end, consider what you are saving on the back end when you don't have to pay for hoards of medical and pharmaceutical expenses. In the long run, and when you consider the improved quality of life, you are saving heaps of money. Keep up the good work!

@@apexpackandtribe neh not really. never going to the doctor anyway . it's their fault I became sick in the first place. But I get your drift 👍

Thank you! Hahaha, I am with you 100%. I have never had a desire to go back to that junk, and I don't think I ever will!

It was an amazing thing to see. So many knowledgeable and influential people in one place, sharing what they know in an effort to heal the world. Phenomenal! 👏👏🙌

That's fantastic. Congrats on 9 months!!

You are very welcome, and thank you!

I'm with ya! I am super pumped about it, it really got me motivated and optimistic!

I can relate, there are still many places around the world and here in the U.S. that feel the same way, but the more we can showcase the results, more more the message will spread. Be sure to share the video from Sen Ron Johnson, as that should help spread the word!

Europian as well here. I am spreading the seeds by posting these kinds of vids every day on social media. ❤

That's great, I'm happy to hear it!

🙌💪

You are very welcome! If you haven't watched the senate hearing, be sure to check it out when you have the time 🙌💪

You're very welcome!

Thank you, and thanks for the recommendation about green tripe. I have been trying to find some in my area but haven't found any yet. The hunt continues! Maybe I will harvest some from this year's deer! You're very welcome, I'm glad you are finding the map useful. I'm happy to hear you have a small family grocery that has quality meats for cheap, that sounds like a great option. Local places are the best!

I typically shop for the entire month and freeze everything. I pull 2 days worth of food out of the freezer and keep it on the top shelf in the fridge because it keeps everything frosted, but not frozen solid, so it makes it easy to prep every day. I prep her food daily from that. I typically don't meal prep and like to make everything fresh, but meal prepping would be a great option if it saves you time.

@@apexpackandtribe Thank you for the reply and info. And already using the link to local farms/butchers for research.

@@theboatman6 Awesome! 👍💪

What kind of salt are you consuming? Do you have any pre-existing conditions? MAST cell? Histamine intolerance? Leaky gut? Impurities in the salt could cause this if you are compromised. You may need a really clean salt or salt that has been heat treated if you think that this is the case. Typical heat treating is over 1,800 degrees F and removes all impurities, leaving only sodium. Also, is there a reason you are consuming so much salt? Have you experimented to see how you feel if you cut back on the amount of salt you consume? As for the sleep disturbances, what specifically is going on, and what does a typical day of eating look like for you?

@@apexpackandtribe Himalayas pink salt..I'm india this is the best I can get here, if i consume little bit I'm okay nothing will happen, aprt from that if I eat 1kg chicken I get some problems, gas bloating etc..so i shifted red meat like beef or bison...I seen bison have more protein, if I take more protein I have some gas, bloating problem..is this same will happen when I consume bison...I'm not able to digest beef/bison both...my body suitable for chicken and lamb, goat...but lamb, goat meat are costly here..

@@pruthvikumarreddy Do you have a way to heat treat your salt to remove impurities? If you feel better without it you may try experimenting with scaling way back on the amount you use. Some people don't do well with salt on carnivore, regardless of the notion that you need to consume a lot of it. Did you, or do you have any pre-existing conditions? It sounds like you might be having a hard time digesting the protein, which could be a number of issues ranging from elevated stomach ph (could be caused by h-pylori), in which case hydrochloric acid or bile salts might help. In the case of h-pylori, mastic gum might do the trick. A form of gut dysbiosis may also be hindering absorption. It'd be hard to nail down without knowing all the specifics of where you are coming from and what exactly you are going through.

Do you have a restaurant supply store near you? My chefs store locally sells the biggest turkey necks I’ve ever ever seen in my life. I have to cut them into two or three pieces just so they’re small enough for my dogs to eat.

Unfortunately my butcher does not ship but there are many that do and there are a few I'd recommend that have thousands of miles of delivery routes as well. Where are you located if you don't mind me asking?

That's awesome! As long as you are thriving and eating the foods that make you feel optimal, that's what matters most. I believe that most people could drastically improve their health by simply avoiding hyper-processed food and most food from big-industry. For most, that, and focusing primarily on animal products as the base of the diet is all that's needed to completely transform their health.

That's great! Not only are they super healthy, they are also very cheap which is a huge bonus! My dog loves them, and I enjoy them too.

Thank you so much!

A simple formula that will get you in the ballpark: Less Active dog: Dog's weight x 2% = Total weight of food More Active dog: Dog's weight x 3% = Total weight of food Example: 50lb dog x. 0.02 = 1lb (16oz) Example: 50lb dog x 0.03 = 1.5lb (24oz) That'll get you really close to where you need to be and you can adjust weight, meal timing, and meal frequency based on how your dog responds. 👍

😆 That's a very kind thing for you to say. Thank you! 💪

With anything raw there is always concern of bacteria and food-borne illness, so you really have to weight the risks and know your source. I trust my sources and am comfortable feeding raw from them because I'd be comfortable eating the food raw myself. Any time I buy meat from big-box retailers I really screen the meat to make sure it is safe, and I'll make a decision based off that. Frozen is typically safer than fresh when it comes to those stores. Sometimes I see chicken or certain cuts of meat that are on sale, which is usually due to the butcher either cutting too much or the meat nearing the sell-by date. If the reason for the sale is the latter, I'll typically cook that food just to be on the safe side. If you can find a good source you can trust, that will always be the best option, but it will ultimately be your call on whether or not you want to feed raw or cook the food. It is very much a personal choice.

Great question! I feed my dog once a day, but it's really up to the dog. Some larger breeds may need to eat more often, especially if they are active because allowing them to go hungry for extended periods of time can cause serious gastro problems and lead to bloat (gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV)), which can be life-threatening. If your dog is able to consume an ample amount of food in a single sitting, does fine until the next meal, and maintains a healthy body mass, you should be good to go. If your dog struggles to eat enough food, loses weight, begs, vomits bile, or seems to be in distress, you might want to split the food up into 2 meals.

@@apexpackandtribe thank you😊

@@renatewoerner3298 You're welcome!

Thank you 🙏

Isn't it crazy how the most nutrient-dense parts of the animal are so cheap? It's largely because the average person is grossed out by that kind of stuff so it isn't really sought after but as more people catch on I've seen the price of some of these things increase. It's a double-edged sword because we all want cheap meat, but at the same time I like to think people are also getting healthier!

10 pounds of chicken quarters only gave you 3.5lbs of meat? Wow, that's terrible! One thing to look for is that some of the cheaper chicken will actually be a certain percentage of weight from water. This information is typically found near the bottom of the bag in fine print. It shouldn't have been that much water, but the water that was in there would have certainly rendered down as broth. Keep in mind that the broth that renders out of the meat is going to be full of nutrients and can still play a vital role in nourishing your animal, though it won't compare to the actual meat. You could try buying boneless & skinless chicken to see how it compares once it's cooked down, just keep in mind it is going to be very lean, especially without the skin, and the nutrition will be inferior compared to a leg quarter. In that case, I'd be sure to add some other meats and/or small amounts or muscular and secreting organs. I find that feeding the mushed bones is okay occasionally but I don't like to rely on it. When the bones have cooked that long to the point that they are mush, there's really not much left in them in terms of nutrition because everything has been rendered out of the bones and is now in the broth. My dog tends to be less enthusiastic about her food when I include it, which tells me there isn't much in there that she wants or needs. It's also rare that she seeks out "spent" chicken bones when I toss them into the garden. Congrats to you and your husband for completing 1 month, I'm very happy to hear you are both doing well!

That's awesome! What's your reason for starting? Wishing you all the best on your carnivore journey!

@@apexpackandtribe thanks man! Today went well. I feel light and full. Good energy. I’m trying to get rid of acne and get lean after a long and junk food filled bulk.

@@adrian8113 That's awesome! Glad to hear it's going well so far. If it gets rocky or you run into any problems just give me a shout, I'm always up to lend a hand if I can. Wishing you all the best!

I don't consume any vegetables or fruits as they are not necessary and typically don't make me feel optimal. I have some fruit trees on my property and might have an apple or a few cherries or blackberries when they are in season, but that's about it, so meat makes up at least 99%-100% of my nutrition year-round. Here are some videos I just did illustrating that you can get everything you need from animal products: ruclips.net/video/O7dBeFWhfjQ/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Ax3_rJIWst0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/jyuZ3U0JUuw/видео.html I'm a huge advocate for being honest with ourselves and doing what works best for us as individuals. If those foods optimize your health, that's awesome! Consume them and don't ever let anyone tell you that you shouldn't.

There will be a lot of factors to consider, such as how experienced you are with working out, genetics, your health background, age, etc., but generally speaking if you want to gain weight and gain muscle, you need to eat more food. Specifically, more of the right foods. If I was trying to gain weight and gain muscle on carnivore, which I have done a few times, I would focus on fatty red meat as my primary source of nutrition, eating as often as necessary to ward off hunger. As soon as I started to feel hungry I would eat. If you tolerate dairy, raw dairy/milk, cheese, and butter, can be good tools for gaining weight and size. Bone marrow and pastured eggs would be good options to include as well. In simple terms, keeping fat intake high while still meeting your protein goals should be enough to do the trick, and adding in some occasional organs to keep the nutrition high would also help. If your training is on point you should be naturally getting hungry more frequently, which will lead to consuming more food, which will lead to muscle growth.

I find that I can eat more in one sitting than I could when I was eating other foods (starches/carbs, veggies, etc.) because meat doesn't make me feel physically full and bloated like those other foods did. I just feel satisfied and satiated. It's important to do what works best for you. If you don't feel like you are eating enough, I wouldn't be surprised if your body doesn't adjust in a similar fashion, given enough time.

Thank you for your kind reply. Actually i feel to be in a strange situation. I have difficulties to eat meat, i am buying meat to grind and i make hamburgers with 70% fat in calories and about 30% protein but i really struggle to eat 700grams of this split in two meals a day, yesterday for example i wasn't hungry all day so it was very difficult to eat something for me. In the mean time i am losing weight but i do not want to because i am quite lean... I do not know how to behave, it seem to me that my body refuses meat that it is not very high quality.... I also feel a kind of nausea like when eating fat meat

@@fiorenzo6301 How long have you been carnivore? What is your reason for starting? Is that all you are consuming is 700g of ground per day with nothing else? If you tolerate eggs, cheese, raw dairy, and butter, you might consider experimenting with those. Those foods are nutrient/calorie dense and would bump up the nutrition you are getting while not taking up too much additional room in your stomach. This could help you gain/maintain your weight. I also find that those fats are well-tolerated and I can eat more of them without getting that nauseated feeling. One quick note is that if you are eating all the liquid fat from your ground beef, that could be the reason for your nausea. Solid fat (fat chunks from meat, fatty cuts, fat trimmings, beef suet, etc.) tend to be easier on the gut than liquid fats and most people can consume more without feeling nauseated. I also find that salting my food usually entices me to eat more.

😂 It's wild! I can say based off experience that if I was eating the way I used to, which was clean whole foods with occasional cheat meals @ 50%-60% carbs, I definitely would have gained weight. No doubt about it because I've done it numerous times. I've come to realize that the type, quality, and nutritional profile of the food are what's important. All of these other metrics we've created around nutrition are just human-created fabrications which add confusion and justify eating foods that aren't optimal for our health.

@@apexpackandtribe sugar and seeds/nuts (or their oils) tell the body it's Fall. Time to fatten up for Winter. If you don't provide the signal you don't put on fat. So elegant when you think about it.

@@Youtoobe0Guy0Awesome That's an excellent observation. I've never thought about it that way, but that makes perfect sense!

100%! In my opinion the type, quality, and nutritional profile of the food are the most important factors. All of these other metrics we've created around nutrition are just fabrications to help us "try" to understand nutrition. In a world of toxic man-made food with endless variables, it just creates chaos and confusion.

Is there a specific reason you are trying OMAD? I'm a huge fan of intuitive eating, which means eating when hungry and stopping when full. Forcing yourself into specific and unnatural eating windows could mean cramming food, under or over consuming which is not sustainable long term and may do more harm that good. For some people, eating one meal a day may not be optimal, so finding what works best for you as an individual would be the way to go.

I was doing two meals a day and I want to try omad next. I’m 6 months carnivore so still have a lot of healing to do. I’m another casualty of the a standard American “healthy diet”… found out I was in prediabetes range. Seems like I’ve already reversed my blood glucose issue and blood pressure

@@yessirthatsright I see! Well first off, congratulations on how far you've come already, those are huge accomplishments and you should be very proud of yourself! I'm very happy for you! You sound a lot like me in that I'm always experimenting on myself, trying different things in an effort to really hone in on what works best for me. I feel like it's the best way to learn and is something I'd recommend to everyone. Blindly listening to people and doing something just because someone "says so" is one of the worst things we can do, especially if we go against our gut. Never be afraid to forge your own path and find out what works best for you as an individual, because we are all different and that's the only way we can truly know how to optimize OUR health.

Thank you for the kind words and I'm happy that these videos resonate with you!

I live in Kentucky but I've been all over the country and consistently find fantastic deals in most areas. On average I am able to get ground beef for around $5/lb and other less desirable cuts for $5--$7/lb. Beef fat trimmings and organs are almost always cheap, $3-$4/lb or below. Have you checked the farm/butcher map on APEX to see if you can find any local producers/suppliers in your area?

Always my pleasure!

🙌

Such a great point! Mattresses & bedding are often missed but you're right, we spend a ton of our time on them, and even more importantly the time spent is some of the most critical for our health as well. Natural fabrics and stuffings will always be the best route. I hate that most mattresses are made from petroleum-based chemicals (especially memory foam) and natural alternatives are exponentially more expensive. It's a sound investment though!

@@apexpackandtribe And who knows what is in those made in China dog beds.

@@mamabear9389 So true! If they are anything like the other clothing and fabric products that come from China I'm sure they aren't very good!

I use vinegar quite a bit and love the way it makes clothes feel. Throughout my childhood we always dried clothes outside on a line and I kind of miss those days of running outside to scoop them up real quick before a storm blew through haha. Those were much simpler times!

@apexpackandtribe We moved to a very rural area 3 years ago. I always wanted a clothes line and now I have one. I haven't used a dryer in 3 years in spite of our sometimes harsh winters. The clothes smell so fresh and your clothes last alot longer.

@@mamabear9389 That's awesome. Saving electricity is another huge plus. Now you've got me thinking about putting one up haha.

@apexpackandtribe Go for it! I spend money on organic non toxic clothes, and it keeps them from wearing out.

@@mamabear9389 I think I will! Thanks for the inspiration! Clothing is something that is often overlooked but it is so important. Synthetic materials are horrible and aren't getting enough attention. More info is coming out about that stuff, which is good. I've been seeing a lot of articles about those Shein clothes from China and how they are loaded full of carcinogens and PFAS. Cheaper is not always better!
