@@c4caffeen134 I personally find that as a woman I do not have the digestion enzymes to digest huge steaks every day, it’s probably great for hard working guys who are doing a lot of bodybuilding or a job where they are very active. I am pre diabetic and have Hashimoto illness, Carnivore one day, including lamb or chicken breast and keto vegan alternative days and absolutely no wheat , dairy, sugar, or coffee also alcohol only on special occasions, grey goose vodka with soda and lime , no wine or champagne they are too sugary . Once a week I eat wild caught salmon, Inflammation gone , sugar levels down to 4.5
Moving from food as a celebration to food as fuel is the mental struggle that most have issues with . . . we are used to eating for entertainment. We need to eat for health & fuel.
This is one of my main struggles. The sugar addiction was gone after about a week, but the desire to snack to relieve boredom is still there. I'm trying to replace that with a few reps of strength-training to reset my brain!
@@evage99 For me it wasn't boredom, it was helping to enjoy watching videos or tv and almost always while procrastinating about something.. and my cravings for sugar still haven't ended in 5 mos.
I'm grateful for being told "Don't quit in the first few weeks! You'll feel like crap for a while, push through it!" because I absolutely felt like crap, for DAYS. I was extremely irritable, my whole body was sore, I had a nasty headache the entire time...I wanted nothing more than to sleep and chug water. I kept telling myself that it was the demons leaving my body 😆 Eventually it subsided, and I went from hating everything to feeling fantastic overnight. The arthritis in my wrists feels better. I don't get wheezy when I go jogging. I no longer care about chocolate. My hormonal cycle may have also balanced itself out already (I've only been carnivore about a month.) I first looked into carnivore after being diagnosed with PCOS (ovarian cysts) and realized I was probably producing way too much estrogen...the promise of joint relief was another huge draw, and I dove in. My only regrets so far have been two "cheat meals" with extended family; I may just politely decline to eat anything next time, if there's not steak or a plain burger available! My body rejected the carbs immediately, and I'm glad for that. I don't want to get used to eating garbage again.
I was dizzy and RUclips informed me I needed salt on Carnivore. I added 1/4 tsp to my sparkling water each morning and I’m no longer dizzy. Seasoning my meat with salt also makes all my meals wonderfully delicious. Thanks for the shout-out about electrolytes.
A small correction: the ice age didn't last as long as stated in the video ("about 2 1/2 million years ago to 12,000 years ago"). It lasted approximately 115,000 years, from around 115,000 years ago to around 11,700 years ago.
Another mistake which I made was having caffeine every day skyrockets your anxiety and disturbs your sleep I almost quit carnivore thinking it was that what was causing my anxiety but it was caffeine and now I’ve stopped it I sleep like a baby and my anxiety is pretty low all the time
I have to laugh at this, I’ve been off caffeine for four days and I just got into work and I thought I’ll make me a cuppa coffee. I turned on this video in the first comment I saw was yours OK this will be my last cup of coffee, lol thanks for the advice.
Coffee and Carnivore make me feel amazing. One of the only plants I include in the diet (occasionally a handful of berries). I have no intention of giving up coffee
Excellent content, Max! Underconsuming fat is definitely the biggest diet mistake there is. And it is the reason people stay addicted to sugar, Ingesting fruit and honey instead of animal fat... What a shame!
Thank you for putting in the time to bring this information to us. You're a good man, Max. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family. Have a great week.
You're a fountain of knowledge. Even things I've heard before, you manage to articulate in a clearer understanding, and that's why I'm more inclined to direct potential carnivores to your channel before many other great channels. You're really appreciated.
@dkeith-fc8hn nearly 8 weeks. I had lost a bit of belly fat but was still retaining some. I couldn't figure out why, so I thought I was overeating. Then I actually started to gain belly fat on the Carnivore diet so I thought there must be something wrong as I walk 10k steps a day plus more on average. I decided to cut out dairy and am now starting to see signs of improvement
Word to the wise... vitamin C also blocks B12! Most people even many on carnivore have low B12 levels & it can make females anemic as well. Vitamin C is NOT harmless. If you truly care about getting your body as healthy as you can possibly be, ALWAYS get your blood levels of nutrients and thyroid hormones as well as testing for thyroid antibodies before you take any supplements! Only take something if you're found to be deficient & only until your levels come up into the healthy range. Never take iodine without testing your iodine, thyroid function & test for thyroid antibodies. If you have undiagnosed low thyroid function or worse, asympotmatic hashimotos ... iodine can shut your thyroid down by making it over worked to extreme fatigue & you won't even feel it ... until it's too late & it can take a very long time; many, many months to recover. We're eating a meat centric diet to be healthy, not to shut our body's regulatory & hormone systems down. 😬
❤Super Good info. I have made many of these mistakes. Bacon and sausage hidden sugars, dairy or milk carbs. Gotta stick to meat, water, salt for the RIGHT RESULTS❤❤❤ THANK YOUBFOR THIS VIDEO. 11 MONTHS CARNIVORE ❤
eating fruit made me gain 5kg (10 pounds). not a fan of that. now i know that only meat works best for me long term. as soon as i allow myself to eat a little bit of fruit its over, i cannot limit my fruit intake.
What shits me is that everyone just says eat ‘fatty cuts of meat’ and you’re good, then you find out that’s actually far too low fat and you actually need to add tallow or butter… I’ve heard as much as 50g of tallow or butter for a 200g steak.
I don't want weight loss with carnivore so the boredom eating doesn't go against my goals. I try to eat as much as possible. I wanna put on muscle mass in this diet and increase my weight in a healthy way.
Same here. I'm 65, built like I was as an 18 year old stoner, 5'8" 130 lbs. I eat a lot, huge portions, mostly meat and fish, some fruit occasionally, lots of walking and exercise regularly but at this age it's slow going putting on weight and muscle. But I feel great.
Re supplements - I had to take, and still take potassium (5-700mg) and magnesium (450-600mg) daily due to leaky gut, thus not absorbing a sufficient quantity through diet alone. I suspect this to be temporary, however it was necessary to avoid severe palpitations, severe calf cramps at night and hypnagogic jerks. All completely resolved with the aforementioned supplements, and I salt very liberally. 2.5lbs beef over 2 meals daily on a BBBE style diet.
Great video!! You are sharing such important truths about carnivore!! People are always asking me if I never get tired of eating beef, especially ground beef! Now I can explain!! Also we have been lied to about the dangers of eating fat and people take a while to learn we need it!! I believe it is more the sugar, carbs, and ultra processed foods than cause heart attacks and strokes!! Love seeing such a wise young person!! God bless you!! ❤🤗🙏🙏
I'm 12 weeks strict - beef/egg yolks, butter, tallow, ghee...I wake up with my heart pounding every morning. I feel weak and exhausted all day. I eat plenty of Celtic salt. I supplement with keto chow electrolytes and LMNT. I'm at a loss. I've started to add 1/4 cup avocado every other day. Still no better. I'm going to keep going but I wish I knew that I'd at some point feel better. I come from a competitive bodybuilding background- so very low fat. Now I shoot for 150-200 grams so I'm getting plenty of fat. I've never been this frustrated in my life. 😢
I am 8 weeks in and been weak entire time and figured out I need to eat big breakfast as I'm not fat adapted yet, two days ago started and do feel significantly better already.
I was about 2/3s of the way to carnivore and doing well but then I backpedaled and binged on junk food. I’m mega bloated 😭😭 I’m going to finish this cake 🤣 and start doing it seriously again tomorrow!! Listening to you for motivation!! We just ordered bulk steaks which should be delivered soon. I’ll be about 90% carno. I’m not going all the way. But I’m going to go at it harder than I ever have before.
I have a video called how to deal with cravings on carnivore and I have a video coming out in the upcoming days which talks about how carnivore will solve food addiction. You might find these videos helpful. You can do it:) I believe in you. Thanks for watching the videos, I’m glad you enjoy them.
I seem to be the only one who has not gotten an energy boost after a year of 95%+ carnivore. I have had "chronic fatigue syndrome" for over 5 years and have tried many different things with no success. Edit: Hoping for some other answers besides the same ones I always get like "adjust macros", "electrolytes" or "gotta go 100%".
@@dakotad.8609 try without butter, some people are sensitive, but rather tallow or duck fat. And eat it a lot. After only two days you will explode! I promise:)
Be aware when your body starts to tell you that you just dont need as much salt anymore. It took me several week of trial and error to see that the explosive diarrhea after 6 months of high salt was because of the salt. I've since cut WAY back, and increase my potassium and magnesium supplements when I feel any cramping and that has been a game changer for my burning butthole. lol.
@@cm16533 I absolutely suggest using them... and iodine if you aren't already. Watch Dr. Berry's iodine video. It gives me tons of energy when I take first thing in the morning. The only magnesium that doesn't make me sick is glycinate. I use nature's bounty from Costco, it's the most affordable and not a lot of fillers. I use potassium chloride powder from now foods. If I take it by itself, I fill an empty capsule. If I make an electrolyte drink, I add it with magnesium, Redmond salt and a couple packets of true lemon powder, it's pure lemon and makes it taste like Gatorade :) I'm also trying a few things for long-term histamine and 30 years of veg diet recovery!
What about adding frozen berries to dairy shakes in the morning? I‘m only ketovore and still kept matcha tea powder, blackberries, raspberries and wholefruit lemons added to my quark and milk shake, whenever I don’t feel like going OMAD. I also use salt and pepper on my minced beef stews and Magnesium and Potassium electrolytes, as well as Selen and Zinc, D3/K2 and a multivitamin to not miss out on anything. The latter is probably redundant, but didn’t seem harmful so far. Oh, and Iod I substitute for the lack of it in my drinking water. Maybe all due to learned behavior from before…
Spring natural salt is best salt I’ve ever tasted and it’s not contaminated I really recommend it it gives steak so much flavor.i don’t know if they sell in Amazon I bought mine in Mercado libre Mexican on line shopping.
I saw a video saying to take a high dose of melatonin around 9am instead of before bedtime from Dr Berg I think, not sure.High dose as in 60 mg . Early in the day. Works great, fall asleep in ten minutes at bedtime.
@@andyc7747 I have never gotten sleepy after taking in morning. It came from Dr Berg I think, and have been pleased with the results, as I don’t require anything sleep stuff at night anymore, since going carnivore and this was mainly an experiment anyway
I have been on carnivore for 2 months and I am still losing weight but I'm only losing around 2-3 lbs a week, thought it would be more. I am also a bit low on energy which is frustrating because all I always hear is how much energy people have on carnivore. I feel like I am eating enough fat and iften add fat to meals and lots of salt so I dunno.
Best I can figure is the fat is being used to repair damage, energy from it comes later, 5 months in and I'm just beginning to get more energy. Keep going until you get there
@squirrelslayer6837 well this week only 1.5 lbs 👎 on any diet you can lose that much in a week. Just had higher hopes with carnivore, probably still have 30lbs to lose.
2-3lbs is a lot. Google what 2lbs of fat looks like. I think it will really change your perspective. The energy increase will happen more and more over time. Keep up the salt and fat and try to get as much of your energy from ruminant meat as possible. Keep up the good work.
You could have any number of issues that prevent adequate fat digestion. Being carnivore has allowed it to come to light. I recommend searching out a few you tube videos from Dr Berry, Dr Berg, Dr Boz and this channel on the subject, or even see your own doctor, though they won’t be happy you’re doing carnivore, This issue may be very simple or a more complex medical issue and needs to be diagnosed and put right. Good luck, hope it’s an easy fix.
She propably gained weight becouse she got so much more protein and got muscle. She also started the diet as elimination diet, not becouse she would have weight issues.
I like to take lion’s mane mushroom pills in the morning and thats the only supplement ive been taking during my diet the past few weeks. I am definitely satisfied with my results but do you think the small amount of mushroom capsule has any impact on results?
Mushrooms are high in many defense chemicals. A large number of mushroom variants will kill you instantly. Just because it dosent kill you instantly it doesn’t mean it’s causing harm. I think you would be much better off without it to be honest.
Good to hear you are transitioning to carnivore. I have a video called how to deal with cravings on carnivore that I think will help. Greetings from New Zealand.
@@max.german Oh wow... you are from New Zealand.. that explains the interesting accent, my compliments to you. Thank you for responding. I will look into the video you have suggested 👍😊🍀
I get to the end and I'm like... is that really supposed to be most controversial of them all?! I can't do it, even if it's added to something I'd (ch)eat I'm kind of disgusted - sugar cravings I get but F-s never. Heavy agree on spices/seasonings - learned that the hard way. Also, I buy bacon with 92.7% pork rest are mess but hey, gotta love sustainable food.
I'm losing too much weight now, I would need to double my intake to maintain but that starts to add up $, I think a dozen eggs per day may solve this, what do you think?
How much salt do you think you add to your food each day? I run daily and the warm weather is here. I’m probably adding one teaspoon right now. I get curious about others and how much they need.
@@max.german Well, I really hope so… We usually get to know these things after they’ve been around for a while. For example, we had a scandal here in Sweden when horse meat was discovered in popular baby food and some other convenience foods ten years ago. I’m sorry that I sound so conspiracy theorish. Often I feel like we’re like a bunch of test rabbits.
@@max.german fair, why not? Ive seen lots of attractive info about "getting into deep stem cell autophaghy" where the body can repair stuff u typically need stem-cell injections for. Or does the same inevitably happen on zero-carb diet?
Why is there so much weight gain being mentioned in a bad sense? Not everyone needs to lose weight, some people need to gain it, actually everyone who goes on this diet even for the purpose of weight loss will come to a point where further weight loss is a bad thing, not a good thing.
Most people aren’t looking far enough back in time, when it comes to what we actually ate. All human beings are actually tropical beings. Even if you don’t live in the tropics, you are always creating a tropical environment by wearing clothes and turning on the heat. Please don’t be blinded by better. There is the best and I’m sorry to say you’re not quite there. The only reason people who start eating only meat feel and function way better is the simple fact that they have cut all the other BS out of their diet. We are not carnivore, herbivore or even omnivore. Physiology we are most attracted to whole, ripe, fragrant, vibrant, fresh fruit slight off the tree. And some soft tender leaves, just like the bonobos and chimps. Thinking it this way. Does being around a pig or chicken or cow or deeer or rabbit or kale or broccoli or brusslesprouts or a west field or a corn field, make you salivate or lust hungrily after it? We’ve gone a loooooong way in the wrong direction people. We don’t have to kill ANYTHING to thrive on this world and eating the food we are actually supposed to, we have ZERO sickness disease, famine, birth defects, etc. while feeling and functioning better than you ever thought possible, while living as symbiotically with the world alike we were meant to! 🍒🍓🍇🍎🍑🍊🍋🍍🍊🍌🥑🍏🍏🍈🍐🥝🥭🥥🥭🍅🥥🍋🟩🍏🍑🍍🍑🍇

I've since cut WAY back, and increase my potassium and magnesium supplements when I feel any cramping and that has been a game changer for my burning butthole. lol.
What supplements do you use for magnesium and potassium? I haven't been using any and feel tired on the diet. I wonder if i need some
@@cm16533 I absolutely suggest using them... and iodine if you aren't already. Watch Dr. Berry's iodine video. It gives me tons of energy when I take first thing in the morning. The only magnesium that doesn't make me sick is glycinate. I use nature's bounty from Costco, it's the most affordable and not a lot of fillers. I use potassium chloride powder from now foods. If I take it by itself, I fill an empty capsule. If I make an electrolyte drink, I add it with magnesium, Redmond salt and a couple packets of true lemon powder, it's pure lemon and makes it taste like Gatorade :) I'm also trying a few things for long-term histamine and 30 years of veg diet recovery!
Great video Max. 💪👍
Thank you very much
If pigs are fed yogurt first the can graze on grass like a cow and process the nitrogen.they also contain choline...alot like 111mg per porkchop
Fine I’ll subscribe

Damn, I dont even have the energy to write a normal comment -__-
Electrolytes will help with Detoxing from Carbs and Sugar the first Couple months or Three
😂 have some cold butter and add a little salt to your water. Good luck!
Awesome video ty
Thank you very much
Thank you!
No worries
6 Oz of organic honeydew melon chunks shouldn't spike insulin, cottage cheese with it is good too
Great video and content, things well explained
No worries at all. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
What about adding frozen berries to dairy shakes in the morning? I‘m only ketovore and still kept matcha tea powder, blackberries, raspberries and wholefruit lemons added to my quark and milk shake, whenever I don’t feel like going OMAD. I also use salt and pepper on my minced beef stews and Magnesium and Potassium electrolytes, as well as Selen and Zinc, D3/K2 and a multivitamin to not miss out on anything. The latter is probably redundant, but didn’t seem harmful so far. Oh, and Iod I substitute for the lack of it in my drinking water. Maybe all due to learned behavior from before…
I have a video where I discuss the issues with fruit :)
Well done. really good informative video. cheers.
Thank you very much. I’m glad you found it useful.
Spring natural salt is best salt I’ve ever tasted and it’s not contaminated I really recommend it it gives steak so much flavor.i don’t know if they sell in Amazon I bought mine in Mercado libre Mexican on line shopping.
Interesting, great tip
Thank you Max!
No worries, thank you
Perfect video.
Thank you very much
Good video thanks bro
Thank you very much
I pretty much only salt and pepper my steak or chicken or pork
I put ghee on my hamburger patties for dinner and then I slept all night. I hope they are related.
Extra fat definitely will help sleep
Excelent
Thank you
I’ve been reluctant to give up the variety that I love. But Now I really just want to try eating a ribeye every day.
Adding a few spices to your meat is not remotely a "mistake". If want add some it's absolutely fine
I saw a video saying to take a high dose of melatonin around 9am instead of before bedtime from Dr Berg I think, not sure.High dose as in 60 mg . Early in the day. Works great, fall asleep in ten minutes at bedtime.
Maybe I’ll try that. Melatonin has never done one single thing for me but I’ll look into it.
@@andyc7747 I have never gotten sleepy after taking in morning. It came from Dr Berg I think, and have been pleased with the results, as I don’t require anything sleep stuff at night anymore, since going carnivore and this was mainly an experiment anyway
Can you make a video about honey?
I have been on carnivore for 2 months and I am still losing weight but I'm only losing around 2-3 lbs a week, thought it would be more. I am also a bit low on energy which is frustrating because all I always hear is how much energy people have on carnivore. I feel like I am eating enough fat and iften add fat to meals and lots of salt so I dunno.
Best I can figure is the fat is being used to repair damage, energy from it comes later, 5 months in and I'm just beginning to get more energy. Keep going until you get there
@@anthonycoyer7186it took 5 months before I felt Strong and Normal
2-3 pounds a week is a very decent amount of weight loss!
@squirrelslayer6837 well this week only 1.5 lbs 👎 on any diet you can lose that much in a week. Just had higher hopes with carnivore, probably still have 30lbs to lose.
2-3lbs is a lot. Google what 2lbs of fat looks like. I think it will really change your perspective. The energy increase will happen more and more over time. Keep up the salt and fat and try to get as much of your energy from ruminant meat as possible. Keep up the good work.
great videothank you
No worries, thank you for taking the time to comment.
Trouble digesting fat😢
Rendered/liquid fat?
Rookie , give it a Moment
You could have any number of issues that prevent adequate fat digestion. Being carnivore has allowed it to come to light. I recommend searching out a few you tube videos from Dr Berry, Dr Berg, Dr Boz and this channel on the subject, or even see your own doctor, though they won’t be happy you’re doing carnivore, This issue may be very simple or a more complex medical issue and needs to be diagnosed and put right. Good luck, hope it’s an easy fix.
What was the life expectancy of these ice age folks you keep talking about lol.. just kidding … I miss mangos ahhhh
She propably gained weight becouse she got so much more protein and got muscle. She also started the diet as elimination diet, not becouse she would have weight issues.
I like to take lion’s mane mushroom pills in the morning and thats the only supplement ive been taking during my diet the past few weeks. I am definitely satisfied with my results but do you think the small amount of mushroom capsule has any impact on results?
Mushrooms are high in many defense chemicals. A large number of mushroom variants will kill you instantly. Just because it dosent kill you instantly it doesn’t mean it’s causing harm. I think you would be much better off without it to be honest.
great videos Max. Do you know of any pro carnivore doctors in Tauranga?
Thank you. No I don’t unfortunately. There are a few in Auckland but not sure about tauranga.
I'm transitioning to carnivore.
Hard time with the cravings for fruit 🤷🏼♀️
Any tips?
Greetings from Italy 🍀💖
Good to hear you are transitioning to carnivore. I have a video called how to deal with cravings on carnivore that I think will help. Greetings from New Zealand.
@@max.german
Oh wow... you are from
New Zealand..
that explains the interesting accent,
my compliments to you.
Thank you for responding.
I will look into the video you have suggested 👍😊🍀
I get to the end and I'm like... is that really supposed to be most controversial of them all?! I can't do it, even if it's added to something I'd (ch)eat I'm kind of disgusted - sugar cravings I get but F-s never. Heavy agree on spices/seasonings - learned that the hard way. Also, I buy bacon with 92.7% pork rest are mess but hey, gotta love sustainable food.
Blue berries and honey for the win
I suddenly wondering if the body has a negative feedback response from sugar, like peanut butter has? 🤔
Absolutely it does
American here, I agree with you 100%
Good Man
Im struggling with maintaining my weight, let alone gaining... and i eat ALLOT
Tips?
Eat even more haha. I have a video called how to lose or gain weight on carnivore. You might find it useful.
Is the number one mistake the mustache? Kidding!
Naw man the rape stache is boss
Hahahahahha
I'm losing too much weight now, I would need to double my intake to maintain but that starts to add up $, I think a dozen eggs per day may solve this, what do you think?
Whatever works best for you. The more ruminant meat the better. I have a short video on how to get it cheap :)
How much salt do you think you add to your food each day? I run daily and the warm weather is here. I’m probably adding one teaspoon right now. I get curious about others and how much they need.
I've always understood that 1 teaspoon a day is good. Every body is different though. I would adjust to what works for you!
@@sandrasatterfield4432 That’s about where I’m at. Thanks
Literally whatever tastes good. Our tastebuds are so smart. Sometimes I will intuitively put more or less on. Not exactly sure the exact quantity.
Ice age never existed
Well, the scientists modify meat as well. 3D printed pork, anyone?
Yes but that is not what is sold in supermarkets
@@max.german Well, I really hope so… We usually get to know these things after they’ve been around for a while. For example, we had a scandal here in Sweden when horse meat was discovered in popular baby food and some other convenience foods ten years ago. I’m sorry that I sound so conspiracy theorish. Often I feel like we’re like a bunch of test rabbits.
DR KEN BERRY ON RUclips SAID BACON IS GOOD TO EAT.
Paste resistant?
Copy, “pasted” I think I would have said
Mistake #11 going on a carnivore diet just based on some misguided diet guru on YT
Give it a try Dan brother. I promise you it will change your life. God bless❤️
i was just curious; do you ever do water fasting?
No I don’t
@@max.german would you ever?
@@nikolaudio maybe at some point. But I don’t really see the need to.
@@max.german fair, why not? Ive seen lots of attractive info about "getting into deep stem cell autophaghy" where the body can repair stuff u typically need stem-cell injections for. Or does the same inevitably happen on zero-carb diet?
A can of potted meat every morning
If you eat fruit you aren't on a carnivore diet - derrrrr!
Absolutely correct
Not sure he is the real word, an opinion I guess
Say Goodbye to Veggies forever
Absolutely
Why is there so much weight gain being mentioned in a bad sense? Not everyone needs to lose weight, some people need to gain it, actually everyone who goes on this diet even for the purpose of weight loss will come to a point where further weight loss is a bad thing, not a good thing.
Most people aren’t looking far enough back in time, when it comes to what we actually ate. All human beings are actually tropical beings.
Even if you don’t live in the tropics, you are always creating a tropical environment by wearing clothes and turning on the heat.
Please don’t be blinded by better. There is the best and I’m sorry to say you’re not quite there.
The only reason people who start eating only meat feel and function way better is the simple fact that they have cut all the other BS out of their diet.
We are not carnivore, herbivore or even omnivore.
Physiology we are most attracted to whole, ripe, fragrant, vibrant, fresh fruit slight off the tree. And some soft tender leaves, just like the bonobos and chimps.
Thinking it this way. Does being around a pig or chicken or cow or deeer or rabbit or kale or broccoli or brusslesprouts or a west field or a corn field, make you salivate or lust hungrily after it?
We’ve gone a loooooong way in the wrong direction people.
We don’t have to kill ANYTHING to thrive on this world and eating the food we are actually supposed to, we have ZERO sickness disease, famine, birth defects, etc. while feeling and functioning better than you ever thought possible, while living as symbiotically with the world alike we were meant to! 🍒🍓🍇🍎🍑🍊🍋🍍🍊🍌🥑🍏🍏🍈🍐🥝🥭🥥🥭🍅🥥🍋🟩🍏🍑🍍🍑🍇
