Some people dont have a choice. Theres only a Walmart in my town, i do the best i can its still better than the Standard American Diet. All i eat is meat eggs butter and pork rind panko and occasionally dairy not often tho, meat is expensive too, we do the best we can, iv been carnivore for 1 yr and 4 months we dont have raw dairy either, this diet is personally tailored to the individual so do wht wks best for you
We breed, raise, harvest, cut and pack all our own meats including beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, rabbit, quail, chukar, pheasant and pork on our 19 acre farm in Central Oregon. IT MAKES a HUGE difference. I am new to Carnivore four months in.. WE started raising our own foods six years ago for simple health for our dogs and ourselves... Now that I'm on Carnivore I compete with the pack of six dogs.. 😂.I also freeze dry all the livers, hearts, kidneys and pack my own pills (cant stand the taste to eat).. I also make my own cheese, sour cream, butter from whole unpasteurized raw milk.. Could not give up my cheese!.. And it does not seem to effect my progress. My suggestion is seek out a local farmer..
I have to do carnivore on a low low budget. If it is more 5 dollars a pound at the store it gets left at the store. I try to do ground beef but some weeks I can only afford sub 2 dollars a pound chicken thighs. I can only afford the store brand cheese when its on sale. I can't afford electrolytes even If I made my own. Since you have to buy so much stuff to make them. At some point if eggs keep going up I will have to stop eating them. I have been lucky finding them at Sam's I check every time I go. Sometimes I feel there is a lot of snobery in the carnivore community for people that can't afford the good stuff. It is still better than the garbage that most people eat doing the standard american diet.
@duck_duck_gofast You do the very best you can. I do the same. If you have a butcher ask for tallow or suet. Sometimes the grocery store have it. Research how to render it and then cook with it. It has nutrients and most important, it's pure fat. Also, you can make body cream with it very easily. A great way to get all the vitamins and fat through skin absorption. ❤
So blessed to raise grass fed Angus beef on our small family farm in Northern CA. No growth hormones, or antibiotics. We do finish with locally grown organic grains, which provide th marbling and juicy meat. Was Keto, then started Carnivore January '24. So far, feeling wonderful and 70 lbs down. I'm living proof that this way of eating works!
I’m 74 years old started carnivore in June 2024. I have had a lot of improved lab study so far. I have another one coming up. So I will see I do eat grass grass finish meat when I can get it but most often I have a fresh butcher that cuts my meat for me. I do love liver and can get carried away. Sometimes I have cut back to about 2 ounces a week. Blue my carnivore through Thanksgiving and Christmas but I’m back on now. Thanks Bella see you again and following videos.
Hey Bella !! I made a batch of your homemade electrolyte mix three days ago and I am really enjoying the benefits ! I am adding the two teaspoons of organic lime powder as suggested. Your video content is very inspiring ! Keep up the good work and THANKS !!
Most regular pasteurized milk in the store comes from local milk producers that heat to 140°F. That expensive organic milk shipped across the country will say ultrapasturized on the label, meaning the milk was heat treated to 180°F.
I ❤ and thrive on chicken pork and wild cought seafoods, lamb ground beef, oxitail soup,and liver, and raw cheese, for over 3 years now. Everyone is deferent. At 54 i feel much healthier than i was at 24, without toxic meds. Thanks to dr. Ken Berry he saved my life in 2022. I listen to him about cheap carnivore. And it's been working for me just fine.
Whoa, I’ve been watching for a few years now, you really stepped up your game with your own studio, and LMNT too! Those are great! Keep it up we carnivores are going to be in charge around here. Forget plants!
I watched a news program that said they were using MRNA vaccines and treatments in meat, mostly cattle. I personally am against this treatment for anyone, animals included (my opinion). I reached out to all my ranchers that I get my meat from to make sure they weren’t using them before ordering again. Very important where you purchase meat because you never know what is really in it. As for dairy, unfortunately in my area, I can only get pasteurized so I buy organic or brands from a farm and there is definitely a difference. Still learning
Even organic pasture raised chicken and eggs are still fed organic supplemental feed with corn and soy which adds more omega 6 to the meat and eggs. I have not found any pasture raised chicken or eggs that does not use corn and soy in the feed.
Birds are one animal that are made to eat grain (seeds), they have a gizzard. Getting protein into a bird usually comes from the grain (commonly soy beans). If you omit the grain then be sure the chickens are free ranging and have access to a healthy insect population. This will probably make your chicken raising endeavor seasonal. Dried alfalfa leaves is a source of vegetable protein. The hybrid meat chickens available today require a high protein diet to develop properly. Be careful which chicken breed you choose to raise.
I'd love to be eating free--range organic everything, but the cost is prohibitive for me at this time. So goes it! Prolly won't k!ll me in the meantime, in light of the many benefits of having gone carnivore for the past year anyway. But it's something to aspire to!
I simmer my butter and make ghee - it only takes 15 minutes, it tastes fantastic and it gets rid of all the protein and lactose. Then there's cultured butter, which is pretty much lactose free but still contains the proteins that can be quite addictive due to the dopamine response they elicit in the brain.
Respect that option. But I prefer basic, simple butter i.e. with 2 ingredients only. The second being salt... The only "processing" I do is eat it. LOL 🙂

@@ambernamini6729 Right, I saw that Costco ribeye is $14/pound versus the "recommended" beef sourcing website's $30/pound. There needs to be a real meeting of the minds to increase production and reduce costs. I think we need to teach Optimus (the Tesla-bot) to do regenerative farming.
A very serious recommendation, and think about this: Farming animals takes a lot fewer people to manage than crops. We don't need illegals to pick crops, we don't even need migrant farmers, we just need clever technology and people.

I'm lucky , live in Sweden and we have high quality meat/seafood we can eat everything raw here... Been raw meat carnivore 2 years now, never sick.. Eat all meat raw pork beef venison lamb ex ex ex.. Been carnivore for soon 6 years... drop -407lbs
@@stepheneverhardt4731 - For what it's worth a life time avoid even rare meat. One day, a couple months ago, I tried beef tartar. In other words. Raw minced meat... Now I love it! 🙂
I'm so grateful I found this channel and community ❤️ I'm very new to Carnivore and am always learning! Am curious if anyone that switched to raw dairy was nervous about it? I'm nervous that I may absorbe the bad bacteria too? Was always taught that unpasteurized dairy was dangerous or could be dangerous. Any input would be greatly appreciated 🤗
Welcome! I've been enjoying raw dairy for the pst 4 years with not a single issue. I understand the hesitation but check out this website and their articles on raw dairy rawfarmusa.com
This is why i tell people to buy local. Mean a local farm not the big box stores... If i eat meat from the big box store i get sick... I do grow my own to... Just look for a local farm that sells meat...
Chowing down on beef, pork, chicken lamb and eggs watching this, nom nom life is good 🥩😋 I used to make a big pot with liver once a week, but lost my apetite for it.. I figure that was my body telling me I`d stored up enough vitamin A and other trace elements. Also I recently quit the cheese (I may decide to buy a bite now and then) because I realized I was over-snacking and possibly overeating a bit because of it.. I watched a video (Dr Chaffee I think) talking about how dairy contains substances that stimulate you to eat more.. not a big deal but figure I`ll quit it (gave up the milk months ago, a bit of a heresy as Norwegian lol) for a while and see how I respond and if my weight stabilizes on a lower level.. I am comfortable but could possible loose just a little bit more.
I only know what a simple Google search has taught me on the subject, but I have become a huge fan of Amish butter. I put butter and heavy cream in my coffee every morning and the flavor is 100 times better with Amish butter. I think it has something to do with the higher butter fat content.
We just had fun shopping at BJ’s I purchased another brisket, chuck roast, beef stew meat, fish, two cases of tuna eggs and dairy. I made two dozen egg cream cheese and beef muffins they are so good. I craved liver pate when I started carnivore, I have no desire for it now.
I don’t have much choice so I mostly go for grain fed animals. I do however go full out zero carb and do get fatty native grass fed cow meat as fat stock. I load up on organic butter and beef lard whenever possible for added good fat. Aside from my regular 20/4 fast i do anywhere from 1 to 3x a week 40/8 extended fast and occasional but very seldom 1x every month or two 3 day fast. No dairy too whatsoever except for well aged milk kefir once a month and just mineral salt as a food additive. I do this to compensate for not having the luxury of eating whole organic meats all the time. So far it has work great for me, I also hit resistance training every day and do 1 to 2x a week jitsu training at 50years of age. I do however respond awfully to even one day of eating processed carbs back when I did eat when I was still keto. I feel and perform better in terms of strength and explosiveness back in my late teens and twenties as I was a fit vegetarian active sprinter back then. Over the years though of going low fat vegetarian from fit I became inflamed and obese with skin and gut issues. The only thing I can’t reclaim and surpass from my peak fit teen form is my endurance in long runs… definitely a lot less from how I performed before. But sprinting and power it’s significantly more at 50.
When I first started carnivore I was very strict. Once I felt great, I started adding other foods. One was bone in chicken thighs. It’s cheap and versatile. But it made me feel sick. It was so strange. I’m also eating lots of pork. Again because it’s cheap. But when I was only eating beef, I felt really great. Sugar cravings are my final battle. I’ll get there. I just have to try again.
I buy all my beef from Riverbend Ranch Black Label farm. If you have never had Black Label, you are missing out on a great piece of beef! I am happy to share more information. We just love their steaks! ❤❤❤
Hey, I have just met you today and subscribed to your channel! I have 15 years chronic hay-fever, so bad that 4 years ago I had to inject myself with Kenacort. I discovered the carnivore diet and my allergy went away. But I am a bad boy, and I cheat often, so it is 3 years I do in and out, on weekly basis. All this is exausting. Maybe you will give me that ispiration, that extra kick to do it for good! Fingers crossed! Thank you ❤
I've figured out that Keri butter is my favorite if I'm eating just a pad of butter.. It's expensive, so I buy the cheaper, still way to expensive, store brand butter for putting in and on food. I recommend tasting butter.. they are not all tasting the same.
Thank you! I also have swollen feet the next day when I eat something inflammatory, usually if the food has added some spices or something else. I don't get this with pork meat, it's quite the opposite. It's possible that might be because glyphosate is not as widely used here in Europe, although not banned yet by the EU. They feed them barley instead of soy but that is probably not much better. I usually avoid chicken, not because I don't like it but I have to eat a lot more of it. It's less satiating for me. Btw, for someone else reading this. I recommend people to try SBG membership. I was surprised that is well organised and you can get all the info you might have missed in your journey. I'm new there, doing the 30 day challenge, although I've been eating like this for a year, but it's still a great place to visit.
@@ltautuaa6743 we went to the store to get some more..and the whole section was wiped out. My daughter said..."Mom!! Stop telling people about the Westgold butter!!" Hahahahahahaha
It's not only pasteurized dairy. Homogenized too, or instead. The machinery for homogenization creates micelles (globular aggregates) so small that they pass directly through your intestinal walls and straight Into your bloodstream. Of course, raw dairy bypasses this problem as well, but you really need to keep your eye on these guys.
Yesterday around 11am, I had a can of sardines with 2 fried eggs, cooked in ev olive oil at low heat. 2 hours later my stomach "exploded", and I suffered severe diarrhea and bloating all afternoon and overnight . I have still not recovered. I eat lots of eggs, sardines less frequently. I find that the same foods will sometimes upset my stomach, and a week or two later the same food has no effect.
If the choice is between the Standard American Diet or Factory Farmed Food, Factory Farmed Food or very lean food,.is much better than that. Yes, I eat fatty meat. Yes, I think it is better. But, don't throw out the good for the perfect.
I'm with you I buy most of my meat when it's on sale. I buy the rolls of ground beef too. The fattier it is the cheaper it is. Eggs are ridiculously high right now hope the price comes back down latter this year. They need to stop killing all the chickens just because some are sick.
I noticed just this week, the chronic pain in my left knee has come and gone as I eat ghee from a tin. It contains Ethyl Butyrate, an ester added to create fruitiness.
here in canada, used to buy milk right from the farm, my son could drink it, not milk from the store though. but in the early 90s, "they" decided that the less than .1% doing this was to much of a loss and made it illegal to sell and buy from unless you owned said farm... still illegal to buy raw dairy here.
I've personally ever had unpasteurized dairy from any source once in my entire life visiting a nearby state, since I haven't found raw dairy in my state as of yet.
For most people carnivore is out of reach due to cost. Luckily most people are resistant to harm from the cheaper cuts, and will thrive better than on a veg based diet.
Thanks, Bella. I actually love organ meats.. I had some lamb heart not too long ago. Loved it. Beat it raw and cooked.. more importantly what’s the difference between beef tallow and suet?? I like the idea of this because I can just put it in a container carry it with me and I don’t have to worry about refrigeration. I guess the same is true with Ghee.
Where do we find these healthier meats? The ones I've found are double the price of regular meat and often there is no guarantee that the meat did not come from China. Please offer some suggestions. It's a lot to ask to eat only meat, but now we cannot shop in the grocery store? This becomes a very isolated lifestyle.
Iv learnt for inflamation no suger no wheat which covers the lot no carbs We dont hv unpasteurized dairy in Australia I use lactose free in all dairy & high fat Inflamation Yet quality butter no reaction Im diabeti type 2 my weight has dropped my inflamation vastly improved Sleep mobility better im 67 yrs Thinking better with carnivore & its all experenenting & availability over here
I obviously been eating wrong for 55 years now but have never craved sugar. I’m over weight & would like to start this carnivore diet but it’s been hard because of money but most of all my husband wouldn’t believe in it. He knows with the chemicals & dyes can hurt us but he thinks he can’t do anything about it. I feel differently. I know if I do this even if it’s dirty at first or go cold turkey it would help me. My husband is a narcissist so to even to prove this it would piss him off that I am right again.
@issameQ living with a narcissist is demoralizing. The narcissist cannot be wrong. It makes the spouse hypervigilant. The quote was taken out of context. She only meant- in his eyes she can't ever be right, although her experiences prove her right at times. The spouse often suffers from low esteem and tries to prove themselves to someone who never validates them.
@@1FantasticDreamBird you are clearly taking her side. She said: that I am right again and not sometimes. That implies she’s always right.I agree with the definition of narcissist but who’s the narcissist in this case? Are you just going to take her word for it?
I can only get raw cheese where I live. I had to quit eating it because it would give a painfull rash between some of my fingers. I can still eat pasteurize cheese without getting the rash go figure.
I've been eating a lot of chicken covered in pork rhinds and two 1.5 tbsp butter/single egg yolk/nutmeg whipped coffee and never felt better with unlimited energy from morning to night and no more brain fog.
I do not eat chicken and pork anymore. Eggs rarely as here all local farmers give some mais also chickens are outside. I eat only beef as I know that cows have four stomacs and they can neutralize bad food.
Hi Bella, l come across your channel after watching a podcast with Dr Gregoria Eda… l got very curious about the profound healing that the carnivore diet seems to have for that consumer. I decided to research more about, l am interested and curious about if you know about scleroderma disease and if this diet can help ? What are your opinion and do you have suggestions? Thanks 🙏
I have 2 cups of green tea, 1 cup of cheap coffee with a stevia sized scoop of dark chocolate both slightly sweetened with Stevia crystals. I have ZERO craving for sweets.
Organic, pasture raised grass fed etc is double the $, totally unattainable for me. Kinda bothers me that to get properly farmed food you have to pay premium $ rather than it just being normal practice. I suspect greed is main motivation for both methods of food production.
Great video. Good call on the switching to unpasteurized. Question about when being sick. If you have the cold or flu like I do now what’s the best carnivore remedy for that? Just more meat butter and eggs ? Besides keeping hydrated. Thanks.
It seems hard for people to reconcile they need to run on fat now. That’s why I tell people I’m on a high fat, animal protein diet. I never skimp on the fat
Dr Sean Omara does say to avoid marbled meat marbled meat makes marbled muscles and that’s bad .. like a good piece of beef the fat needs to be around the outside and not within the meat itself. The grains make the marbling so I avoid wagu for this reason was never a fan of it even before I knew about effects on our muscles .
What are your thoughts on Hardcore Carnivore spices? I currently live in Mexico and get my meat at Costco where I buy a box of Chuck Roll and cut it up. But I also have a lot of Dorado I caught and want to cook it and thought about buying and shipping Hardcore Carnivore spices to me. I wanted to get your thoughts on these spices before I buy and pay the import fees to get them. Thank you
Yes eat lean (if you wish) however have fatty meat as well say 75% fatty & 25% lean, there is nothing wrong with eating this way but this all depends on what your goals are and how you personally react to this, this is how i have eaten for over 36yrs bodybuilding works great for me personally.
If you have budget concerns on carnivore, beef and other ruminant meats have a far lower toxic lode than monogastric products like pork especially, and chicken, etc. I eat chicken once a week or less. I rarely eat pork. Because let’s be honest - pasture raised pork and chicken is enormously expensive. Always do the best you can but if you can’t afford even the relatively more affordable grass fed/grass finished, grocery store beef is still many levels up from the Standard American Diet most people are killing themselves with.
Raw milk in my country isnt available ELMt isnt available here & sometimes grass fed is so so lean here no amount of butter will boost its fat I hear u abt chicken & eggs ❤
I have 3 autoimmune diseases and I started carnivore diet 9 months ago, it gave me my life back, I am doing great and my antibodies are 50% down. I do consume raw goat's milk (that I get from small farm nearby my city) but I always heat it on very low temperature just up to the boiling point, in order to prevent any bacteria and fungi. I consume one cup of warm milk before bed time and it helps me to have better sleep. Goat's milk is much better than cow's milk as it's easier to digest.
I've been drinking raw milk and cream from my local farmer for over three years. Never once did I feel ill or get sick...even when I drank 10 day old milk.
I just went by the farm store after work.... thought I would buy a gallon of milk. They raised the price to 22 dollars a gallon.... I left the store laughing and won't go back

Been carnivore for soon 6 years... drop -407lbs
I am happy for you but I could never live on raw meat. I like my meat cooked on the rare side though.
@@stepheneverhardt4731 - For what it's worth a life time avoid even rare meat.
One day, a couple months ago, I tried beef tartar. In other words. Raw minced meat... Now I love it! 🙂
I'm so grateful I found this channel and community ❤️ I'm very new to Carnivore and am always learning! Am curious if anyone that switched to raw dairy was nervous about it? I'm nervous that I may absorbe the bad bacteria too? Was always taught that unpasteurized dairy was dangerous or could be dangerous. Any input would be greatly appreciated 🤗
Welcome! I've been enjoying raw dairy for the pst 4 years with not a single issue. I understand the hesitation but check out this website and their articles on raw dairy rawfarmusa.com
I grew up on raw milk, my Dad would get it from the milk house at a local farmer's. All of us kids (7) hardly ever got sick.
I've used raw milk for 12 years ,no problems so far.😅
Your hair is amazing
Farmed fish is the worst.I dont know how anyone can eat it.
@@SteakandButterGalI third through fif this
when i eat farmed fish my diverticulitis flares up
This is why i tell people to buy local. Mean a local farm not the big box stores... If i eat meat from the big box store i get sick... I do grow my own to... Just look for a local farm that sells meat...
Great!! Thank you! I got the flavored LMNT this time, I will change that next order. I make my own ghee. 😊
You can make your own electrolyte powder. It’s easy and a lot cheaper and cleaner than LMNT.
Chowing down on beef, pork, chicken lamb and eggs watching this, nom nom life is good 🥩😋
I used to make a big pot with liver once a week, but lost my apetite for it.. I figure that was my body telling me I`d stored up enough vitamin A and other trace elements.
Also I recently quit the cheese (I may decide to buy a bite now and then) because I realized I was over-snacking and possibly overeating a bit because of it.. I watched a video (Dr Chaffee I think) talking about how dairy contains substances that stimulate you to eat more.. not a big deal but figure I`ll quit it (gave up the milk months ago, a bit of a heresy as Norwegian lol) for a while and see how I respond and if my weight stabilizes on a lower level.. I am comfortable but could possible loose just a little bit more.
I only know what a simple Google search has taught me on the subject, but I have become a huge fan of Amish butter. I put butter and heavy cream in my coffee every morning and the flavor is 100 times better with Amish butter. I think it has something to do with the higher butter fat content.
We just had fun shopping at BJ’s I purchased another brisket, chuck roast, beef stew meat, fish, two cases of tuna eggs and dairy. I made two dozen egg cream cheese and beef muffins they are so good. I craved liver pate when I started carnivore, I have no desire for it now.
I don’t have much choice so I mostly go for grain fed animals. I do however go full out zero carb and do get fatty native grass fed cow meat as fat stock. I load up on organic butter and beef lard whenever possible for added good fat. Aside from my regular 20/4 fast i do anywhere from 1 to 3x a week 40/8 extended fast and occasional but very seldom 1x every month or two 3 day fast. No dairy too whatsoever except for well aged milk kefir once a month and just mineral salt as a food additive. I do this to compensate for not having the luxury of eating whole organic meats all the time. So far it has work great for me, I also hit resistance training every day and do 1 to 2x a week jitsu training at 50years of age. I do however respond awfully to even one day of eating processed carbs back when I did eat when I was still keto. I feel and perform better in terms of strength and explosiveness back in my late teens and twenties as I was a fit vegetarian active sprinter back then. Over the years though of going low fat vegetarian from fit I became inflamed and obese with skin and gut issues. The only thing I can’t reclaim and surpass from my peak fit teen form is my endurance in long runs… definitely a lot less from how I performed before. But sprinting and power it’s significantly more at 50.
When I first started carnivore I was very strict. Once I felt great, I started adding other foods. One was bone in chicken thighs. It’s cheap and versatile. But it made me feel sick. It was so strange. I’m also eating lots of pork. Again because it’s cheap. But when I was only eating beef, I felt really great. Sugar cravings are my final battle. I’ll get there. I just have to try again.
I buy all my beef from Riverbend Ranch Black Label farm. If you have never had Black Label, you are missing out on a great piece of beef! I am happy to share more information. We just love their steaks! ❤❤❤
I would love the info!
Is it grass fed?
Hey, I have just met you today and subscribed to your channel! I have 15 years chronic hay-fever, so bad that 4 years ago I had to inject myself with Kenacort. I discovered the carnivore diet and my allergy went away. But I am a bad boy, and I cheat often, so it is 3 years I do in and out, on weekly basis. All this is exausting. Maybe you will give me that ispiration, that extra kick to do it for good! Fingers crossed! Thank you ❤
Speaking the truth, thank u for the information 😊
Always ❤️
Good morning Ms Isabella

Nice to see you here, Gorge!!
I've figured out that Keri butter is my favorite if I'm eating just a pad of butter.. It's expensive, so I buy the cheaper, still way to expensive, store brand butter for putting in and on food. I recommend tasting butter.. they are not all tasting the same.
i love kerry gold
Love the brand ..West Gold.. butter salted..from New Zealand..on the shelf In Walmart…small town Wyoming.
Thank you! I also have swollen feet the next day when I eat something inflammatory, usually if the food has added some spices or something else. I don't get this with pork meat, it's quite the opposite. It's possible that might be because glyphosate is not as widely used here in Europe, although not banned yet by the EU. They feed them barley instead of soy but that is probably not much better. I usually avoid chicken, not because I don't like it but I have to eat a lot more of it. It's less satiating for me.
Btw, for someone else reading this. I recommend people to try SBG membership. I was surprised that is well organised and you can get all the info you might have missed in your journey. I'm new there, doing the 30 day challenge, although I've been eating like this for a year, but it's still a great place to visit.
Hello! Butter and heavy cream is my weakness...
Butter is my weakness too haha! Nothing wrong with butter if you can tolerate it! Keep the heavy cream as a dessert.
@@SteakandButterGal Bella, have you tried Westgold butter? It's grassfed from New Zealand. It's beyond butter!! My new addiction lol.
I’m from Nz it is my favourite butter. It is soooo good
@@ltautuaa6743 It's amazing!! ❤
@@ltautuaa6743 we went to the store to get some more..and the whole section was wiped out. My daughter said..."Mom!! Stop telling people about the Westgold butter!!"
Hahahahahahaha
I try as often as i can to only purchase butter, milk and other products from my local dairy.
Yes, I noticed the same with chickens and pork. Usually for me, I get bloating.
It's not only pasteurized dairy. Homogenized too, or instead. The machinery for homogenization creates micelles (globular aggregates) so small that they pass directly through your intestinal walls and straight Into your bloodstream. Of course, raw dairy bypasses this problem as well, but you really need to keep your eye on these guys.
Yesterday around 11am, I had a can of sardines with 2 fried eggs, cooked in ev olive oil at low heat.
2 hours later my stomach "exploded", and I suffered severe diarrhea and bloating all afternoon and overnight . I have still not recovered.
I eat lots of eggs, sardines less frequently. I find that the same foods will sometimes upset my stomach, and a week or two later the same food has no effect.
Now i know where they get Disney princess faces from 😊 lol
If the choice is between the Standard American Diet or Factory Farmed Food, Factory Farmed Food or very lean food,.is much better than that.
Yes, I eat fatty meat. Yes, I think it is better. But, don't throw out the good for the perfect.
I'm with you I buy most of my meat when it's on sale. I buy the rolls of ground beef too. The fattier it is the cheaper it is. Eggs are ridiculously high right now hope the price comes back down latter this year. They need to stop killing all the chickens just because some are sick.
I noticed just this week, the chronic pain in my left knee has come and gone as I eat ghee from a tin. It contains Ethyl Butyrate, an ester added to create fruitiness.
find one that is pure
@@mymy22194 You find one that's pure, I'll prepare my own.
@@mymy22194 That is so cogent. Thank you.
I grew up on raw milk. Where I live now I have to drive 50 miles to the closest farm that sells it.
Overconsumption of organ meats could also cause copper poisoning
here in canada, used to buy milk right from the farm, my son could drink it, not milk from the store though. but in the early 90s, "they" decided that the less than .1% doing this was to much of a loss and made it illegal to sell and buy from unless you owned said farm... still illegal to buy raw dairy here.
Same in Australia
Thank you for this ❤
You're so welcome ❤
It's sad that I don't even have access to pasture raised chicken, pork and eggs. Everything is grain fed here.🥺 No raw dairy either.
1:25 factory raised meats.
4:10 lean meats.
7:25 organ meat
8:56 pasteurized dairy
I've personally ever had unpasteurized dairy from any source once in my entire life visiting a nearby state, since I haven't found raw dairy in my state as of yet.
For most people carnivore is out of reach due to cost. Luckily most people are resistant to harm from the cheaper cuts, and will thrive better than on a veg based diet.
Thanks, Bella. I actually love organ meats.. I had some lamb heart not too long ago. Loved it. Beat it raw and cooked.. more importantly what’s the difference between beef tallow and suet?? I like the idea of this because I can just put it in a container carry it with me and I don’t have to worry about refrigeration. I guess the same is true with Ghee.
Where do we find these healthier meats? The ones I've found are double the price of regular meat and often there is no guarantee that the meat did not come from China. Please offer some suggestions. It's a lot to ask to eat only meat, but now we cannot shop in the grocery store? This becomes a very isolated lifestyle.
a box of Morton canning salt is pure salt and is much cheaper F Y I
More costly is right and I’m down to only 2 meals a day. The meat at Walmart is better than the meat at Sprouts.
sprouts meat is great imo never tried walmart
Iv learnt for inflamation no suger no wheat which covers the lot no carbs
We dont hv unpasteurized dairy in Australia
I use lactose free in all dairy & high fat
Inflamation
Yet quality butter no reaction
Im diabeti type 2 my weight has dropped my inflamation vastly improved
Sleep mobility better im 67 yrs
Thinking better with carnivore & its all experenenting & availability over here
I obviously been eating wrong for 55 years now but have never craved sugar. I’m over weight & would like to start this carnivore diet but it’s been hard because of money but most of all my husband wouldn’t believe in it. He knows with the chemicals & dyes can hurt us but he thinks he can’t do anything about it. I feel differently. I know if I do this even if it’s dirty at first or go cold turkey it would help me. My husband is a narcissist so to even to prove this it would piss him off that I am right again.
You said: “I am right again”. Hopefully you are not the narcissist.
You can do carnivore without your husband. Do it for yourself and when he sees the benefits you achieve he may change his mind.
Yep. Just tell him you’re going to try it. Keep letting him eat his way and he’ll start seeing the changes you’re going through.
@issameQ living with a narcissist is demoralizing. The narcissist cannot be wrong. It makes the spouse hypervigilant. The quote was taken out of context. She only meant- in his eyes she can't ever be right, although her experiences prove her right at times. The spouse often suffers from low esteem and tries to prove themselves to someone who never validates them.
@@1FantasticDreamBird you are clearly taking her side. She said: that I am right again and not sometimes. That implies she’s always right.I agree with the definition of narcissist but who’s the narcissist in this case? Are you just going to take her word for it?
I struggle a lot with Raw Milk. Just bad tummy times. But I can do Fairlife Milk all day long.
I can only get raw cheese where I live. I had to quit eating it because it would give a painfull rash between some of my fingers. I can still eat pasteurize cheese without getting the rash go figure.
I've been eating a lot of chicken covered in pork rhinds and two 1.5 tbsp butter/single egg yolk/nutmeg whipped coffee and never felt better with unlimited energy from morning to night and no more brain fog.
Raw dairy is not permitted in my country. I only eat a small amount anyway. 🧀
Bella,
Thanks, Awesome advice! 😀
Is it possible to make yogurt with heavy cream instead of half&half?
Cheers, Eric
yes i make my own with Heavy cream it works
The unfortunate thing is, here in Canada raw milk is illegal so I can’t get it.
you can still get it there are loopholes
Same here in Aus
I do not eat chicken and pork anymore. Eggs rarely as here all local farmers give some mais also chickens are outside. I eat only beef as I know that cows have four stomacs and they can neutralize bad food.
Good info, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Bella, l come across your channel after watching a podcast with Dr Gregoria Eda… l got very curious about the profound healing that the carnivore diet seems to have for that consumer. I decided to research more about, l am interested and curious about if you know about scleroderma disease and if this diet can help ? What are your opinion and do you have suggestions?
Thanks 🙏
I have 2 cups of green tea, 1 cup of cheap coffee with a stevia sized scoop of dark chocolate both slightly sweetened with Stevia crystals. I have ZERO craving for sweets.
Where do you get all the unpasteurized dairy?
Organic, pasture raised grass fed etc is double the $, totally unattainable for me. Kinda bothers me that to get properly farmed food you have to pay premium $ rather than it just being normal practice. I suspect greed is main motivation for both methods of food production.
Great video. Good call on the switching to unpasteurized.
Question about when being sick. If you have the cold or flu like I do now what’s the best carnivore remedy for that? Just more meat butter and eggs ? Besides keeping hydrated. Thanks.
BONE BROTH!
@@SteakandButterGalwhat’s a good make ,
Thank you 🙏
Bare Bones bone broth powder on Amazon is great in a pinch. We always have a pack in the pantry next to the Oreos (kidding!)😂
It seems hard for people to reconcile they need to run on fat now. That’s why I tell people I’m on a high fat, animal protein diet. I never skimp on the fat
Pasture raised meat, chicken, eggs.
Dr Sean Omara does say to avoid marbled meat marbled meat makes marbled muscles and that’s bad .. like a good piece of beef the fat needs to be around the outside and not within the meat itself. The grains make the marbling so I avoid wagu for this reason was never a fan of it even before I knew about effects on our muscles .
Liver is a matter of culture. I always ate it , where I’m from, we eat lots of organ meats in restaurants, everywhere.
can't stomach it!
I’m allergic to anything with fins. I don’t worry too much about conventional pork tbh.
What are your thoughts on Hardcore Carnivore spices? I currently live in Mexico and get my meat at Costco where I buy a box of Chuck Roll and cut it up. But I also have a lot of Dorado I caught and want to cook it and thought about buying and shipping Hardcore Carnivore spices to me. I wanted to get your thoughts on these spices before I buy and pay the import fees to get them. Thank you
No pork no chicken no fish .. I’ve been eating just beef.
Yes eat lean (if you wish) however have fatty meat as well say 75% fatty & 25% lean, there is nothing wrong with eating this way but this all depends on what your goals are and how you personally react to this, this is how i have eaten for over 36yrs bodybuilding works great for me personally.
I like the piano at the end!
If you have budget concerns on carnivore, beef and other ruminant meats have a far lower toxic lode than monogastric products like pork especially, and chicken, etc. I eat chicken once a week or less. I rarely eat pork. Because let’s be honest - pasture raised pork and chicken is enormously expensive. Always do the best you can but if you can’t afford even the relatively more affordable grass fed/grass finished, grocery store beef is still many levels up from the Standard American Diet most people are killing themselves with.
I try to get only Bio Foods and best is buying direct from a farm!
Nevermind ! You just answered my question. Lol
What exactly is the inflammation YOU “feel” after eating the wrong meat or drinking pasteurized milk ? Not sure what inflammation feels like .
Noticeable and rather immediate (within 12 hours) puffiness, breakouts and fatigue for me personally.
Can you do an updated video on dairy?
Coming soon
Raw milk in my country isnt available ELMt isnt available here & sometimes grass fed is so so lean here no amount of butter will boost its fat
I hear u abt chicken & eggs ❤
Thank goodness, I don't like fish or organ meats.
Can't you get sick from unpasteurized dairy? If someone is dealing with Autoimmune issues, is it safe or risky?
I have 3 autoimmune diseases and I started carnivore diet 9 months ago, it gave me my life back, I am doing great and my antibodies are 50% down.
I do consume raw goat's milk (that I get from small farm nearby my city) but I always heat it on very low temperature just up to the boiling point, in order to prevent any bacteria and fungi. I consume one cup of warm milk before bed time and it helps me to have better sleep. Goat's milk is much better than cow's milk as it's easier to digest.
I've been enjoying raw dairy for the past 4 years with no issues at all. check out this site and their articles on raw dairy rawfarmusa.com
@@SteakandButterGal Thanks Bella! Will do. ❤
I've been drinking raw milk and cream from my local farmer for over three years. Never once did I feel ill or get sick...even when I drank 10 day old milk.
I love fried pork fat. Helps with cravings. 😊
Where do you buy your pork belly? Thank you.
What about a liver supplement? Stay on one or move away from those types of supplements? Beef organ, pure liver, colostrum etc...
skip supplements
Easy to say to cut out lean beef when people with IBS struggle with fatty beef
then don't eat it lol she is recommending for people who can tolerate it with no health issues obviously
We can't get raw dairy in supermarkets.
Sometimes you can buy online for your pet
I just went by the farm store after work.... thought I would buy a gallon of milk. They raised the price to 22 dollars a gallon.... I left the store laughing and won't go back
There are pet brands at health food stores. But humans drink it, of course.
realmilk.com is great to find raw dairy near you!
Go find a real farmer. I get real milk right out of the bulk tank. I get 5 gallons once a week. It's 2.50 a gallon.@@cattywampusmcdoogle
When I first started carnivore - I did eat low quality meat. It tasted TERRIBLE and you could tell that it was low grade auction beef. No more.
There are countries that do not have pastured or grass fed beef, pork or chicken. So what are we to do?
eat what you can find or move. check out local farmer's markets too
