That's what happens when you eat a _species appropriate_ (ancestral) diet! Humans evolved for the better part of the past 3 million years as carnivores -- first as scavengers, then later as top-level predators. It's not surprising that humans thrive on a diet of almost exclusively meat, since that's the diet we are physiologically adapted to eat. It's only in the past 10,000 years or so that we've been forced to make compromises that -- in general -- have ruined our health and caused a host of chronic diseases that affect most of the population (cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetes, etc.).
@Jurica Sambol Assuming you're not being sarcastic, then the answer to your question is an emphatic *no,* we did not _"eat mostly fruit and vegetables for most of evolution,"_ for the simple reason that what you and I consider "fruit and vegetables" didn't even _exist_ until they were selectively bred -- mostly within the last couple thousand years. The wild ancestors of these things were generally small, toxic, fibrous, seasonal, and only available in certain locations, and could never have formed the basis of the human diet. Prior to the controlled use of fire, such muck would have been completely inedible even for short periods of time, and even _with_ cooking, these things would be so nutrient-poor that they could only be eaten occasionally as starvation foods. Humans once had a 1500 cc brain (now reduced to around 1200), and a brain that size has a very high and constant energy demand -- it could never be met by eating the wild ancestors of "fruit and vegetables", to say nothing of all the other essential nutrients missing from such foods!

I’m a store manager at Aldi, we mark down meat 50% day before unless there’s a large quantity than it’s earlier. We mark a dollar or more off as soon as 3-4 days before the expiration.
Ian Knapp How does that work out??? I mean, I sometimes see the "discount-bin" piled high with the very expensive cuts, that are marked-down 50%. Is that just a tactic that still makes the store money, or it it just overpricing, resulting in a lot of meat being sold at a huge discount(and loss?)? No way I am paying $18.99 a pound for any cut of meat.
Since April I have lost 50 lbs. 47 inch waist to 40 right now. Like you I carry my weight well. I have many months to go to hit my long term goal. All my lab numbers are awesome now
What I’m getting at is people will spend like $200 at the store and more than half of it is junk. If you’re buying a bunch of meat plus a bunch of junk it’s going to be expensive. If you’re shopping smart and not buying a bunch of unnecessary stuff then it’s definitely doable on a budget.

Ima vegan vegetarian too and as I’m getting older (40) I’m finding it hard to keep the weight off with a carb heavy veggie diet. I initially chose a veggie diet for ethical reasons but as a single man whose overweight it’s hard to have confidence with my body looking the way it does. I’d like to try out this diet for a little while and get back into exercising and when I can trim down I’d like to try going back to the veggie diet. I see your post was 2yrs ago. Did you try this diet out? How was it for you?
Andrew I've done the paleo diet for approximately 12 years and it saved my life. Lost 120 lbs and kept it off. Reversed hbp, high cholesterol etc. I tried vegetarian but always felt worse in it. Trust me you won't go back to vegan once u see the change. I now incorporate carnivore detox weeks intermittently to recharge and it works. Good luck!
A few small things I recommend people do in order to avoid the overall high costs of this diet over the course of a month: 1. Do your best to transition into O.M.A.D., one meal a day. Once you have fully acclimated to the diet, you can actually eat quite a bit if you are an active person. This allows you to also supplement the food costs with cheaper items like eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. Eggs especially allow you to get a lot of food for lower price from time to time. 2. If you throw in one day a week where you fully fast, easier to do when you get used to OMAD, you can shave almost a week's worth of the food costs out of your monthly budget. You just have to find a balance of what works for your body and your salary situation.
True, It also feels very liberating when you cook, All you need is one pan, Just throw the meat on there with a bit of butter or water and you are good to go, Unless you use a grill then Its even easier.
I returned to keto 3 months before I had surgery in Sept and while I was in the hospital one male nurse was doing my vitals and asked, What are you doing you have the vitals of a teenager? I am 59. Knowing Hospital food would be terrible I took a bag of avocados and a bag of walnuts with me, ate the protein off my plate and supplemented.
TheBrotherThre3, I was a vegan also! But I am now eating keto, including meat, and will soon be going full carnivore. I can tell you that I am MUCH healthier now than when I was vegan. Adding meat back in literally saved my life. And there are ways to be carnivore and still love and care for animals. To me it helped to realize that we're part of the circle of life, not somehow standing above it. I would say, if it feels hard, to transition in by eating some pastured eggs from chickens you know were well cared for on a family farm. Then add meat when you're ready. Take care and be well!
Incredible. It’s amazing some recommend keto or carnivore and some recommend raw vegan for optimal results. Both seem to produce great results and I must say keto/carnivore look a lot healthier.
Jorden Petersen and his daughter went on a carnivore diet and the results for them were amazing/life changing. You should have a chat with him if given the opportunity not only think because it would be interesting but because i would love to hear a conversation between my two favourite men...🧐
I'm loving the inspiration I'm getting from your videos. I just started the diet and I am determined. I have over 60 pounds to lose. Thanks for sharing your stories
I dont know what it is like on the east coast but here in Idaho you can buy a whole cow and have processed for a lot cheaper than you can get a the super market. The good thing is you get know where it came from.
@@robertlangdale7118 im a farmer from wyoming, for evry cow i own, half of the cow is owned by a silly big city folkperson, i process the meat and vacum package em and deliver the meat. i get about 50 mark up points more this way than whole saling it to grocery chains.
It's also good to check different ethnic markets as well. Some cuts of meat can be cheaper than regular American supermarkets. For pork belly, Korean markets in my area sells it for up to 7.99/lb. And the Italian market close to my house? 2.99/lb! It takes some effort to check things out at different meat vendors, but I think it's worth it.
Agree. We have an international market in Indianapolis, IN called Saraga. Meats are a lot cheaper. Ribeye Steaks average between $6.50 to $8.50 why other major American supermarkets the same steaks would cost and average of$6.00 more. I have had a bad Ribeye from there yet.
Because you eat alot of meat you have a high amouny of creatine which in result make you dehydrated thus you feel thirsty creatine is the most proven ingredient for muscle volume and mass
Thanks for the info. I'm a type one diabetic, 22yrs old, I've been on keto for about 7 months. I'm taking 1/5 of the insulin I used to take. And I really want to try and go carnivore!!🙏🏻
I used to get a lot of marked down meat at the Giant near me. Then it all stopped. I think they must have got better personnel that orders their stuff now because I rarely find anything marked down and the dates are always pretty far out.
Keto always worked well for me. Then I tried one meal a day. Then my career changed, dealing with high stress and couldn’t go all day anymore with one meal with headaches. Rather than cart Tupperware on my daily commute, I started bringing a sandwich. And that was the gateway back to carbs. Not sugar or processed food, but soups and stews with potato, meat and veg, or some rice or pasta in there... sticks to your ribs... and waistline. I’m looking at changing my career and hopefully it will be easier to switch back to keto or try carnivore diet.
Carnivore is really great. I'm 9 weeks into this diet and my gym results have greatly improved, gained lean muscle mass and dropped body fat using 0 supplements.
60? Already looking great, I'm 46 and a couple of months into keto and know the feeling you talk about where you feel light and full of energy. Like you I was probably slightly heavy but carry it. I've dropped around 14-15kg without trying too hard... I'm considering a carnivore line 👍👍 6'4" and like you want the ripped 25 yo. At 46 people take me as looking much younger than my younger brother who is 39 😁. Greetings from the uk 🇬🇧
So glad I found you! I just started a diet, doing 6 days or carnivore, 1 day of keto (with vegetables and cheese and nuts--which feels like a cheat day). This is very inspirational, and you're fun to watch.
Great inspirational videos, you would make an excellent public speaker or perhaps a psychologist. It sounds like you are a barber or some such? I think you should do a TED talk about how to really live life well past 50😁 I share the same outlook on healthy eating (although from a vegan perspective) and I think that straight carnivore done right, straight vegan done right, or whole foods without too many antinutrients is the key! Keep on rocking in the free world and and stay in the fight brother !!😎
Looking good Sultan! Keep doing what your doing👍🏼 I’ve subscribed and always enjoy your content. Pipes, pens, fitness, relationship advice is always top notch 👌
I've been buying the "nearly" expired meats for many years. I work from home so I can get to the store right after the meat guy puts the yellow tag stuff out. I spend much less than you because I don't get the top cuts all the time. I make stewed chicken thighs a lot to get the bone broth/oil/chicken. I am not totally carnivore though, I generally eat vegetable and meat (no potato, rice, noodles, bread or the like). Chicken in a crockpot on low for 8 hours with onions, peppers, tomato, is a great stew. I'm going to sub because I am nearly 60 too and we nearly-60's should stick together. Becoming a 20-year-old is a little too steep a goal. I would like to be at the place I was at about 43.
I love my carnivore/ketovoire diet. So simple and it gets the body to burn a lot of fat on its own. I’ve gone from 200+ lbs to being under 170lbs and I feel much better!
My local grocery store cuts the price of meat anywhere from 30-90% the day/2 days before it expires. It's the cheapest way to go hands down. When there's a truly great deal I just buy as much as I can. It's nothing for me to buy 30lbs of ground beef if it's a really good deal. It's really super cheap if you do it like that.
I'm a 26 yo and I wish my body was in good of shape as yours! I stumbled on the channel while researching the carnivore diet. I love the videos and you have a great attitude. Subbed.
Thanks for the information. I've been doing the Paleo and have lost 10 or so pounds in a month. But just cutting all the carbs, made a world of difference. As you said, no more bloating or indigestion was an overnight change. I'm 61 and have been tall and lanky most of my life and all I want to do is just lose the gut some and that is happening.
A good balance of the diet and working out will result in a full tight physique with low body fat and nice vascularity. I can't tell people enough, whole foods as opposed to supplements and powders. Meat is protein, which is caloricly less dense than carbs. Yes there are fats, but it's usually marble fat, they're easily digested as opposed to the fat in spray oils and butters. Meat moves through you quickly, digests easily and fuels all aspects of your body. The carnivore diet has scientific merit to it.
@White Zionist protein powders and supplements are just the 5% of the mountain. These athletes eat thousands of calories a day and only the last bit is from powders. The rest is from whole foods and particularly meats, unless they're vegan or vegetarian.
@@normanwei529 no one diet is right for everyone. I've been carb free for a while and feel great. But it's clearly bad for you. The carnivore diet works for George, might not work for others. But each diet has merit for some groups of people
Thank you George I'm unshaven for the first time in my life stoped shaving my head 30 years it's not Elvis more Tony Soprano but grass don't grow on a busy street besides I know a guy can make me look good with a cut and a trim next stop steaks !
Hot grandpa, I love it. I'm in my late 50's, and today is my 4th day on the diet and until now all the people I've watched regarding this diet have been much younger people, so glad I found you. I really hate eating all this meat🤭 but if it will improve my health I'm willing to suffer through it. So far I've noticed that my body temperature is between 98.1to 98.5. When I was eating low meat and lots of vegetables I was always cold and 97.8 was a high temperature for me. I'm not feeling great yet and have some constipation issues be I'm sure things will get better as time goes on. Thanks for the info.
After watching other carnivore's from multiple channel's. They seem more content and clear thinking, the mind is at ease. I had grass fed beef from wal-mart and some elk, turkey,bacon, olive's, cheese, blueberries. Feel great this morning no anxiety, or worrying about the day. Going to stick with carnivore. It is way more simplistic shopping also, which also reduces stress, cooking too.
Drinking lots of water before eating simply waters down your stomach acid. You really should drink water away from meals... if at or before only small sips. When you cook till the food goes brown and crisp you are generating carcinogens... might taste nice though is really not advisable... probably better to use small amount of water to cook the meat with...
Im not carnivore but low carb/keto and I'd say 2 things. I think 1.cutting out all the processed and refined carbs, and alcohol, makes a huge saving and gives extra money for quality meats and fats.. 2. I would say I don't think it's necessary to eat rib eye steak every meal, I eat rump which is 1/3 to 1/2 the price usually and I use beef and lamb on the bone to cook a big low carb high fat curry with... In NZ beef and lamb is mostly pasture raised, though before slaughter and in winter grain feed is supplemented into the diet.. Anyway, the bone cuts of meat can be 9-15$ a kilo compared to steaks at 13-22$ for rump to 30-45$ for various fillets.. Another point to note is you usually get more fat with cheaper cuts.. So that's great
I've been doing carnivore for a month. I've notice I feel best after eating cuts of meat rather than pork sausage and cheap ground beef. Peppering the fat on steaks also helps a lot as you recommend. I go through 30 bottles of water a week on average which is crazy. These videos are great for tips and adjustments to the diet, thanks for the content.
Mr. Bruno God bless you, you inspire me!! I never heard of this type of diet and I’m excited to try it! Thank you and I can’t wait to see you how you look like with big muscles!
George, looking great and your face looks five years younger. If I may be permitted a workout suggestion, older guys like us can benefit from isometric exercises too. I use an old bullworker and a three foot length of tow chain. Don't hold your breath, vary the angles of contraction, hold each position 20-30 seconds to build muscle. Check out "Alexander Zass" on RUclips and Google...The Mighty Samson and the granddaddy of isometrics. Done right, it is a safe and efficient form of strength and lean muscle development. By the way the origin of the word "vegan" comes from the Urdu word meaning "can't hunt for shit." Well, if not true, should be. :-)
@W ADAM MENDELBAUM great post! I'm fifty and have been carnivore for a month now. The muscle growth I've experienced is something else. I practice a mix of bodyweight and resistance band training but I'm gonna check out these guys as I'm familiar with isometrics but would like to know more. Thanks for the heads up.
You definetly should try to throw a bit of raw liver in there, like once a week. Just buy it from a butcher you can trust. Raw Meat works absolute wonders, we had it back in Siberia when I used to live there. Anyway, you look really good for your age.
Nice work. Takes focus and discipline to get in shape and change. Big key is how u cut down on carbs and sugar. That stuff jacks up hormones and they run appetite, fat buring and fat storage. But lastly,...coffee. Dont forget ab the great benefits of the coffee bean...antioxidants!
Would you suggest plowing down 4 or 5 scrambled eggs? I have an issue eating pork, bad experience a long time ago. So the carnivore diet is slightly limited for me.
Find yourself a super cheap discount store that sells select garbage meat. Catch that stuff on sale, then cook it in a sous vide machine. Select sirloin that would normally be almost inedible comes out as tender as a choice filet. Just as flavorful as a choice sirloin too. My local place sells them in boxes. Will have to look for the marrow bones. I bet that is good.
One of the things I have discovered is this: Get to know your butcher. I bought about 13 lbs of fatty beef and pork trimmings for 39 cents a pound. Chine meat! The total was amazing! I cut all that fatty meat up into baggies of about a pound or so. OMAD pas roasted pork ribs today. No hunger all day long! Just coffee, water and meat. Pork feet, smoked hocks make for a really delicious broth. Beef knuckles, oxtails and shanks are super cheap. You don't need steak if you can't afford it. I recommend higher fat content, just for the appetite crushing it does.
I'm sure it depends if you only buy some meat or try to buy some pasture raised call A meat. ( i would recommend to buy pasture raised beef and pork because the fat profile improves) so this could make a huge difference - but I'm no expert in the Australian beef market ;)
That last question.....well done. I'm 25 years old and not in the shape I want to be in. 50% of what mean normally costs, $10-15 per day....I could do that. I've been investigating this lifestyle choice ever since I searched Jordan Peterson on Joe Rogan's podcast. You just convinced me to pull the trigger and do it. Thank you.
Just found this, thanks so much! Inspiring! After 80 days AIP I needed to amp up so today is day 1 as a Carnivore - doing just meat and salt for the next 30 days. Heeeeere we goooooo!
SevenShade grass fed ribeye here in Canada at whole foods is 34 dollars a pound! Personally I just buy value packs at farm boy or Costco and occasionally splurge. It’s just way too expensive for me even with a 60k salary. I could afford it but I’d rather have spending money instead of blowing money on the diet. For anyone having reservations you can totally do this without buying grass fed meat.
I'll be 60 in October. From August 1st 2017 to February 1st 2018 I was in the hospital with a severe heel ulcer that required 2 surgical debridements from Type 2 Diabetes. I weighed 368 lbs when I left the hospital. I went on a Keto diet + IF (18/6, 20/4) + 2MAD or OMAD and have lost 106 lbs so far. Have started weight training 4 x per Week three weeks ago. But I've hit a plateau the past few weeks so I'm going to try the CARNIVORE diet for at least 3 months. I want to get down to 185 lbs. (I'm 6'1"). My HbA1c when I left the hospital was 14 mmol; today it is 5.1. I have never felt better or had more energy. My peripheral neuropathy in my legs and feet has improved, and I hope that carnivore will make me feel even better; and break me out of the plateau.
So funny, I watched your video on how to break in a book a week ago, now I'm researching the carnivore diet and here I am again. Guess it's time to subscribe.
I have fatty liver disease, IBS , GERD...I'm 130 pounds over weight sitting at 330 I'll be trying this ...my only concern is having a fatty liver and eating high fat foods... But I must get the weight out somehow
I love your videos! And your over all outlook about life This particular vid has help me a lot to control my downward spiraling health which is now under control Thanx
If your doing the carnivore diet id consider adding offal to your diet. In particular beef chicken and lamb liver. Most densely nutrient packed food on the planet by a fair margin. Admittedly its not mainstream and has a bad wrap in terms of taste. But if you soak it in milk in the fridge. The longer the better it doesnt taste too bad. Similar texture to tofu. 90 seconds each side on the fry pan and its done. Cost efficient too.
Yo Giorgio! Che se dice! Man you got me hooked on this stuff (and even though I've been up and down with the carbs..) I got to tell you, I'm close to going under 100 kgs for the first time in DECADES! I started off @ 111kgs. My sweet wife is thrilled! I'm running daily 3 miles. Started off over an hour. Now I'm at less than 45 minutes!! This is amazing fra. Thank you!
Thank you George again your videos help make changes in my life .. I joined a gym 3,weeks ago and was wondering how I could lose weight while keep the energy up and look this video of yours just popped up
I was with a friend who was having a balloon stint put into his leg and the nurse was telling him the doctor wanted him to eat “heart healthy”. I said, “yeah bacon and eggs, ribeye steaks”. She about flipped out.

I would say, if it feels hard, to transition in by eating some pastured eggs from chickens you know were well cared for on a family farm. Then add meat when you're ready. Take care and be well!
Incredible. It’s amazing some recommend keto or carnivore and some recommend raw vegan for optimal results. Both seem to produce great results and I must say keto/carnivore look a lot healthier.
That's great! In the hospital, I would not let them feed me carbs. They also couldn't believe that I was a former diabetic.
Jorden Petersen and his daughter went on a carnivore diet and the results for them were amazing/life changing. You should have a chat with him if given the opportunity not only think because it would be interesting but because i would love to hear a conversation between my two favourite men...🧐
Costco is great for meat. I bought 10 ribeyes today for $40.
Totally hitting the bell button, diabetics need to stick together, and stick it to big pharma, stop taking their pills
I'm a keto very close to becoming carnivore and one peculiar thing I noticed is that EVERY carnivore youtuber has great voice tone. Strong, you know?
true...i thought im the only one who noticed it ...:-)
I'm loving the inspiration I'm getting from your videos. I just started the diet and I am determined. I have over 60 pounds to lose. Thanks for sharing your stories
I dont know what it is like on the east coast but here in Idaho you can buy a whole cow and have processed for a lot cheaper than you can get a the super market. The good thing is you get know where it came from.
You can do that out here but its expensive, i use Omaha meats.
Where do you get them? I live in Idaho.
@@jameseverett9037 i would imagine a farm lol google im sure its relatively easy to find.
@@HardcityRaindrops - lol - a farm - of course. Why didn't I think of that.
@@robertlangdale7118 im a farmer from wyoming, for evry cow i own, half of the cow is owned by a silly big city folkperson, i process the meat and vacum package em and deliver the meat. i get about 50 mark up points more this way than whole saling it to grocery chains.
It's also good to check different ethnic markets as well. Some cuts of meat can be cheaper than regular American supermarkets.
For pork belly, Korean markets in my area sells it for up to 7.99/lb.
And the Italian market close to my house? 2.99/lb!
It takes some effort to check things out at different meat vendors, but I think it's worth it.
Agree. We have an international market in Indianapolis, IN called Saraga. Meats are a lot cheaper. Ribeye Steaks average between $6.50 to $8.50 why other major American supermarkets the same steaks would cost and average of$6.00 more. I have had a bad Ribeye from there yet.
Because you eat alot of meat you have a high amouny of creatine which in result make you dehydrated thus you feel thirsty creatine is the most proven ingredient for muscle volume and mass
Thanks for the info. I'm a type one diabetic, 22yrs old, I've been on keto for about 7 months. I'm taking 1/5 of the insulin I used to take.
And I really want to try and go carnivore!!🙏🏻
I used to get a lot of marked down meat at the Giant near me. Then it all stopped. I think they must have got better personnel that orders their stuff now because I rarely find anything marked down and the dates are always pretty far out.
Keto always worked well for me. Then I tried one meal a day. Then my career changed, dealing with high stress and couldn’t go all day anymore with one meal with headaches. Rather than cart Tupperware on my daily commute, I started bringing a sandwich. And that was the gateway back to carbs. Not sugar or processed food, but soups and stews with potato, meat and veg, or some rice or pasta in there... sticks to your ribs... and waistline. I’m looking at changing my career and hopefully it will be easier to switch back to keto or try carnivore diet.
Carnivore is really great. I'm 9 weeks into this diet and my gym results have greatly improved, gained lean muscle mass and dropped body fat using 0 supplements.
60? Already looking great, I'm 46 and a couple of months into keto and know the feeling you talk about where you feel light and full of energy. Like you I was probably slightly heavy but carry it. I've dropped around 14-15kg without trying too hard...
I'm considering a carnivore line 👍👍 6'4" and like you want the ripped 25 yo. At 46 people take me as looking much younger than my younger brother who is 39 😁. Greetings from the uk 🇬🇧
So glad I found you! I just started a diet, doing 6 days or carnivore, 1 day of keto (with vegetables and cheese and nuts--which feels like a cheat day). This is very inspirational, and you're fun to watch.
Great inspirational videos, you would make an excellent public speaker or perhaps a psychologist. It sounds like you are a barber or some such? I think you should do a TED talk about how to really live life well past 50😁 I share the same outlook on healthy eating (although from a vegan perspective) and I think that straight carnivore done right, straight vegan done right, or whole foods without too many antinutrients is the key! Keep on rocking in the free world and and stay in the fight brother !!😎
One of your best videos that I've seen so far, thx. And you are looking great!
That amount of meat would probably last me more than three days to be honest, thanks for sharing. I may consider giving this diet a try myself 🥩
You’re a great example of action as opposed to simply talk. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Yo you look like dos equis man if he had a better beard
I was thinking the same thing!
The most interesting man in the world
Stay thirsty, my friend.
A healthier version. Haha
I mean literally my exact thoughts WORD FOR WORD....haha
Looking good Sultan! Keep doing what your doing👍🏼 I’ve subscribed and always enjoy your content. Pipes, pens, fitness, relationship advice is always top notch 👌
I've been buying the "nearly" expired meats for many years. I work from home so I can get to the store right after the meat guy puts the yellow tag stuff out. I spend much less than you because I don't get the top cuts all the time. I make stewed chicken thighs a lot to get the bone broth/oil/chicken. I am not totally carnivore though, I generally eat vegetable and meat (no potato, rice, noodles, bread or the like). Chicken in a crockpot on low for 8 hours with onions, peppers, tomato, is a great stew. I'm going to sub because I am nearly 60 too and we nearly-60's should stick together. Becoming a 20-year-old is a little too steep a goal. I would like to be at the place I was at about 43.
I love my carnivore/ketovoire diet. So simple and it gets the body to burn a lot of fat on its own. I’ve gone from 200+ lbs to being under 170lbs and I feel much better!
My local grocery store cuts the price of meat anywhere from 30-90% the day/2 days before it expires. It's the cheapest way to go hands down. When there's a truly great deal I just buy as much as I can. It's nothing for me to buy 30lbs of ground beef if it's a really good deal. It's really super cheap if you do it like that.
You are an inspiration! I’m 64 and trying to be the best I can be ! Thank you !
I'm a 26 yo and I wish my body was in good of shape as yours! I stumbled on the channel while researching the carnivore diet. I love the videos and you have a great attitude. Subbed.
Man you're glowing after being on this diet for the past few months
Thanks for the information. I've been doing the Paleo and have lost 10 or so pounds in a month. But just cutting all the carbs, made a world of difference. As you said, no more bloating or indigestion was an overnight change. I'm 61 and have been tall and lanky most of my life and all I want to do is just lose the gut some and that is happening.
Exactly I need change started carnivore 2 weeks ago look forward to following you .
the second i eat a burger with a bun i feel like shit throw that shit on the floor
Funny I feel the opposite, usually because I wait till I'm really hungry idky food taste way better when you're hungry
whatabout without the bun?
Rick, just don't eat the bun!! And make sure it's grass fed beef, not the awful commercial beef.
@@deborahsimon1101 when I do eat a burger out I have them make a lettuce bun
I've been eating a carnivore diet for almost 2 years now. Also, if older work out is essential because movement is crucial for longevity.
The store that I work for does a 5 products for $19.99 in the meat department and that is generally what I use
Do you work for Redner’s? They do that out here in Delaware, five for 20 bucks
Carnivore people = extremly helpful long term experiment for the science, to demostrate if meat can be healthy.
Grass fed and finished beef would be a much healthier choice.
You dont get vitamin k2 in farmfed animals only is grassfed
Us Wellness Meats. Buy in bulk or Costco
Tommy Bangacuci question is, can you afford to eat the garbage factory farms corn fattened crap from the store????
Thanks for sharing this! Keep em coming. I’m on day 4 of carnivore and watching lots of videos and researching
Please stay in touch. Your body and your whole system is going to transform. You'll see.

Yummy

GREAT vid George! Keep em coming! Very informative and enjoyable
A good balance of the diet and working out will result in a full tight physique with low body fat and nice vascularity. I can't tell people enough, whole foods as opposed to supplements and powders. Meat is protein, which is caloricly less dense than carbs. Yes there are fats, but it's usually marble fat, they're easily digested as opposed to the fat in spray oils and butters. Meat moves through you quickly, digests easily and fuels all aspects of your body. The carnivore diet has scientific merit to it.
@White Zionist protein powders and supplements are just the 5% of the mountain. These athletes eat thousands of calories a day and only the last bit is from powders. The rest is from whole foods and particularly meats, unless they're vegan or vegetarian.
As a diabetic ima call bullshit dont know how many times i would have died from a low carb diet
@@normanwei529 no one diet is right for everyone. I've been carb free for a while and feel great. But it's clearly bad for you. The carnivore diet works for George, might not work for others. But each diet has merit for some groups of people
@@bigoz1734 kk i can live with that statement
Nomnom Nomnom, your system is tucked up.
Thank you for the tip on the covering of the meat packaging.. I never knew that! Have a great day!
Thank you George I'm unshaven for the first time in my life stoped shaving my head 30 years it's not Elvis more Tony Soprano but grass don't grow on a busy street besides I know a guy can make me look good with a cut and a trim next stop steaks !
Hot grandpa, I love it. I'm in my late 50's, and today is my 4th day on the diet and until now all the people I've watched regarding this diet have been much younger people, so glad I found you. I really hate eating all this meat🤭 but if it will improve my health I'm willing to suffer through it. So far I've noticed that my body temperature is between 98.1to 98.5. When I was eating low meat and lots of vegetables I was always cold and 97.8 was a high temperature for me. I'm not feeling great yet and have some constipation issues be I'm sure things will get better as time goes on. Thanks for the info.
I respect you
Excellent! Thank you George! You rock! 🙂
You look healthy and whole brother. Great video.
Smart, smart. I'll be sure to ask that next time I'm in the market.
So the thumbnail was a clickbait, there is no cooked meat on a plate. Bummer.
Ribeye I had ground into burgers
After watching other carnivore's from multiple channel's. They seem more content and clear thinking, the mind is at ease. I had grass fed beef from wal-mart and some elk, turkey,bacon, olive's, cheese, blueberries. Feel great this morning no anxiety, or worrying about the day. Going to stick with carnivore. It is way more simplistic shopping also, which also reduces stress, cooking too.
Excellent video, very inspiring. :)
Thank you for the information with no BS. Subscribed.
Drinking lots of water before eating simply waters down your stomach acid. You really should drink water away from meals... if at or before only small sips.
When you cook till the food goes brown and crisp you are generating carcinogens... might taste nice though is really not advisable... probably better to use small amount of water to cook the meat with...
Yep, I just sip a little coffee with meals.
@@ZekeMan62 why only small sips
@@dukingproductions4729
Because the more fluids you drink during a meal the more watered down your stomach acids get. It hampers digestion.
I heard this opinion before about not drinking with food. Can you point me to some science behind this?
I dash a little henny on my steak
Im not carnivore but low carb/keto and I'd say 2 things. I think 1.cutting out all the processed and refined carbs, and alcohol, makes a huge saving and gives extra money for quality meats and fats..
2. I would say I don't think it's necessary to eat rib eye steak every meal, I eat rump which is 1/3 to 1/2 the price usually and I use beef and lamb on the bone to cook a big low carb high fat curry with...
In NZ beef and lamb is mostly pasture raised, though before slaughter and in winter grain feed is supplemented into the diet..
Anyway, the bone cuts of meat can be 9-15$ a kilo compared to steaks at 13-22$ for rump to 30-45$ for various fillets..
Another point to note is you usually get more fat with cheaper cuts.. So that's great
Those prices would be 2-3x higher here in BC, Canada.
Alberta as well.
Seriously. Would be nice to find a roll of "50% Off" stickers just laying around at the grocery store. 😎😜
I've been doing carnivore for a month. I've notice I feel best after eating cuts of meat rather than pork sausage and cheap ground beef. Peppering the fat on steaks also helps a lot as you recommend. I go through 30 bottles of water a week on average which is crazy. These videos are great for tips and adjustments to the diet, thanks for the content.
hell yea son gl on 25 yo physique
Haven't seen you since your Gandalf big beard videos. The carnivore diet is doing you good. followed.
Great information sir. 👌🏾👍🏾👏🏾👊🏾✊🏾
Mr. Bruno God bless you, you inspire me!! I never heard of this type of diet and I’m excited to try it! Thank you and I can’t wait to see you how you look like with big muscles!
George, looking great and your face looks five years younger. If I may be permitted a workout suggestion, older guys like us can benefit from isometric exercises too. I use an old bullworker and a three foot length of tow chain. Don't hold your breath, vary the angles of contraction, hold each position 20-30 seconds to build muscle. Check out "Alexander Zass" on RUclips and Google...The Mighty Samson and the granddaddy of isometrics. Done right, it is a safe and efficient form of strength and lean muscle development.
By the way the origin of the word "vegan" comes from the Urdu word meaning "can't hunt for shit." Well, if not true, should be. :-)
@W ADAM MENDELBAUM great post! I'm fifty and have been carnivore for a month now. The muscle growth I've experienced is something else. I practice a mix of bodyweight and resistance band training but I'm gonna check out these guys as I'm familiar with isometrics but would like to know more. Thanks for the heads up.
I heard that before 🤣 supposed to mean bad hunter
I'm shredded lol good on you man well done!!
You definetly should try to throw a bit of raw liver in there, like once a week. Just buy it from a butcher you can trust. Raw Meat works absolute wonders, we had it back in Siberia when I used to live there. Anyway, you look really good for your age.
I already do liver about every other week but I cook it
Great!
Raw organs(liver and brain), raw milk, raw egg (chicken and fish) are the true superfoods
Exactly
Unpasteurized beer is also personal favorite
Nice work. Takes focus and discipline to get in shape and change. Big key is how u cut down on carbs and sugar. That stuff jacks up hormones and they run appetite, fat buring and fat storage. But lastly,...coffee. Dont forget ab the great benefits of the coffee bean...antioxidants!
I never saw a sick tiger!! :)
cobbb11 the point is that tigers eat meat only. I think you know that :)
@@markmatroni631 Well it's a stupid point.
Compared to older videos of you, now you look much younger and healthier
Would you suggest plowing down 4 or 5 scrambled eggs? I have an issue eating pork, bad experience a long time ago. So the carnivore diet is slightly limited for me.
I eat 6 at a time
eat the egg yolk raw or at least put 5 eggs in the pan and don't scramble them
BASEDPANDA why can't you scramble? Does it affect the nutritional value?
Find yourself a super cheap discount store that sells select garbage meat. Catch that stuff on sale, then cook it in a sous vide machine. Select sirloin that would normally be almost inedible comes out as tender as a choice filet. Just as flavorful as a choice sirloin too.
My local place sells them in boxes.
Will have to look for the marrow bones. I bet that is good.
You look great!
One of the things I have discovered is this: Get to know your butcher. I bought about 13 lbs of fatty beef and pork trimmings for 39 cents a pound. Chine meat! The total was amazing! I cut all that fatty meat up into baggies of about a pound or so. OMAD pas roasted pork ribs today. No hunger all day long! Just coffee, water and meat.
Pork feet, smoked hocks make for a really delicious broth. Beef knuckles, oxtails and shanks are super cheap. You don't need steak if you can't afford it. I recommend higher fat content, just for the appetite crushing it does.
Why is meat in US so cheap. In AUS that'd be like $50-$60 worth of meat at a supermarket
Probatly better/stricter regulation
Less of a market for it in AUS
I'm sure it depends if you only buy some meat or try to buy some pasture raised call A meat. ( i would recommend to buy pasture raised beef and pork because the fat profile improves)
so this could make a huge difference - but I'm no expert in the Australian beef market ;)
Everything is more expensive in Australia, the government likes to meddle in everything.
hehe :D regarding pricy meat you should have a look at switzerland :)
My bill comes out to about $6.30-$6.50 a day. That's about 2.5lbs of food a day. I do 24 hour fasts exclusively, and I love the way I feel.
Damn dude! How much you weighing these days? Lean
That last question.....well done. I'm 25 years old and not in the shape I want to be in. 50% of what mean normally costs, $10-15 per day....I could do that. I've been investigating this lifestyle choice ever since I searched Jordan Peterson on Joe Rogan's podcast. You just convinced me to pull the trigger and do it. Thank you.
Kevin Delaney try organ meats too: heart, liver, kidneys they are much cheaper , like $6 a kg for lamb heart, $7 for liver.
George, can you have a morning cup of coffee?
yes you can drink coffee on a carnivore diet. Preferably with heavy cream ;)
@@ratakaio3802 and/or with grass fed butter
Just found this, thanks so much! Inspiring! After 80 days AIP I needed to amp up so today is day 1 as a Carnivore - doing just meat and salt for the next 30 days. Heeeeere we goooooo!
5.25 for a ribeye? Not in Canada, lol.
No kidding. Meat, especially fish, is quite pricey here.
Not in the USA grass fed would be at least $17 per pound.
@@jamesk7063 sick burn
SevenShade grass fed ribeye here in Canada at whole foods is 34 dollars a pound! Personally I just buy value packs at farm boy or Costco and occasionally splurge. It’s just way too expensive for me even with a 60k salary. I could afford it but I’d rather have spending money instead of blowing money on the diet. For anyone having reservations you can totally do this without buying grass fed meat.
Scotch beef and lamb is a good price. Muscle food in uk always do good deals on grass fed beef too x
I'll be 60 in October. From August 1st 2017 to February 1st 2018 I was in the hospital with a severe heel ulcer that required 2 surgical debridements from Type 2 Diabetes.
I weighed 368 lbs when I left the hospital. I went on a Keto diet + IF (18/6, 20/4) + 2MAD or OMAD and have lost 106 lbs so far.
Have started weight training 4 x per Week three weeks ago.
But I've hit a plateau the past few weeks so I'm going to try the CARNIVORE diet for at least 3 months. I want to get down to 185 lbs. (I'm 6'1").
My HbA1c when I left the hospital was 14 mmol; today it is 5.1.
I have never felt better or had more energy. My peripheral neuropathy in my legs and feet has improved, and I hope that carnivore will make me feel even better; and break me out of the plateau.
So funny, I watched your video on how to break in a book a week ago, now I'm researching the carnivore diet and here I am again. Guess it's time to subscribe.
I have fatty liver disease, IBS , GERD...I'm 130 pounds over weight sitting at 330
I'll be trying this ...my only concern is having a fatty liver and eating high fat foods...
But I must get the weight out somehow
I am on day 4 of carnivore diet. So glad to see you reporting in this!
I love your videos! And your over all outlook about life
This particular vid has help me a lot to control my downward spiraling health which is now under control
Thanx
If your doing the carnivore diet id consider adding offal to your diet. In particular beef chicken and lamb liver. Most densely nutrient packed food on the planet by a fair margin. Admittedly its not mainstream and has a bad wrap in terms of taste. But if you soak it in milk in the fridge. The longer the better it doesnt taste too bad. Similar texture to tofu. 90 seconds each side on the fry pan and its done. Cost efficient too.
Yo Giorgio! Che se dice! Man you got me hooked on this stuff (and even though I've been up and down with the carbs..) I got to tell you, I'm close to going under 100 kgs for the first time in DECADES! I started off @ 111kgs. My sweet wife is thrilled! I'm running daily 3 miles. Started off over an hour. Now I'm at less than 45 minutes!! This is amazing fra. Thank you!
Thank you George again your videos help make changes in my life ..
I joined a gym 3,weeks ago and was wondering how I could lose weight while keep the energy up and look this video of yours just popped up
I was with a friend who was having a balloon stint put into his leg and the nurse was telling him the doctor wanted him to eat “heart healthy”. I said, “yeah bacon and eggs, ribeye steaks”. She about flipped out.
Good for you dude! Seeing your results has me intrigued.
