I'll never understand why people on this diet think butter is okay, but not heavy cream. I wonder if they know how you make butter. 🤔
It's got to do with the low lactose content. That's why butter is still eaten by those who exclude other milk products. I mean it's mostly fat so🤷♀️
Of course we know how butter is made. I have a big carton of heavy cream in my fridge it’s yummy 😅
Butter is low in lactose.
butter is lower in carbs and more importantly protein
I'd think something like tallow would make more sense than butter.
Jaime has been around the bend healthwise, from cancer to gallbladder issues to PCOS and perpetual breathing issues. I just have so much empathy for her wanting to try anything and everything that could help her feel better 💔 it must just get to a point where you'd try anything, even just to give you hope 😔
She’s so desperate for any relief. I feel for her. I had chronic pain for 10 years before they figured out what was wrong
I agree. She tried veganism first. I think she’s long past considering the most healthful or moral diet. She just wants to feel better. That sucks.
She's a hypochondriac and her issues are mostly self-diagnosed. She's doing this for attention.
Even if it’s the case that she is experiencing psychological issues rather than physical ones (though the former is quite capable of producing the latter)-she’s in actual distress and she’s trying anything and everything. People don’t do that for attention with extremely rare exception (so not something I’m going to assert about someone I’ve never met). She’s hilarious and entertaining. She’s got plenty of attention without it. @@haircafekevin
I remember you. Hi psychopath.@@MdoubleHBxxxx
Weirdly, most doctors haven't studied nutrition much, so they're not necessarily a great source of info.
Fair point
She should probably try an elmination diet. My sibling did this and slowly reintroduced everything and found out their trigger food was onion and garlic which is in sauces (steak sauce), seasoning blends (steak rubs, probably the egg bites) etc. So they have to be very careful but has virtual cured their stomach/gut issues
Carnivore diet is an elimination diet not everyone stays strict
Honestly if my triggers were onion and garlic I would just rather die. 😭
As long as it is professionally monitored
@MyNameHere101 I know! I think I might have some mild IBS, but giving up trigger foods seem worse than indigestion to me
She has done elimination diets she’s tried like literally everything
I have Hashimoto's, which is a thyroid condition. I have learned over the years that it is very common for doctors to ignore or dismiss how a patient is feeling regarding their thyroid. Patients have to shop around and practically beg for a doctor to take their symptoms seriously. When they finally find someone who will listen, they work to adjust medication, and their symptoms improve. I'm not defending quacks, but when you're desperate, you'll listen to anyone who will listen to you and take you seriously. Thyroid function is still not fully understood, and almost every patient presents differently with different numbers. A lot of doctors will just look at numbers and assume you're fine when often the person is barely functioning. I had to beg my endocrinologist to take my hair loss seriously. She would look at my blood work and say, "oh it's normal, so you're fine. See you in 6 months!" She didn't care about me and my symptoms, she cared about the numbers. Yes, this is an anecdote, but almost everyone I've seen online or met in person that had thyroid issues had similar problems with doctors. No, don't take advice or supplements from a quack, but don't settle for doctors who won't listen.
This is not just an anecdote. It's devastating. I'm so sorry and thank you for sharing.
I have hashimoto’s and this is my experience as well. It really does make you look at the snake oil products and diets out there and wonder “ok, but what if…?”
I have Hashimotos as well. It’s though.
I don't understand why she thinks it was so great for her when it didn't work.
She said it was life changing. That sounds like it helped her
@@Sarah-with-an-HShe couldn't stay on it, and every time she restarted it, it didn't work. Did you watch this video or the original?
@@Stephmagnetism Yes I watched both and honestly the most difficult parts about carnivore is the ties to addiction to carbs and how normalized that is. In the end she said she felt better. A lot better, but she missed pasta. Missing a food isn’t the same as your body wanting that food because it’s healthy. Rather it’s because it’s addictive and pleasant aka as comfort food. If you haven’t noticed that comfort foods are usually very processed and evoke good memories from childhood like feelings of being loved because the food was often used like a pacifier to make someone feel comforted while dealing with uncomfortable things. But these kinds of foods are also the worst thing for someone with PCOS as the carbs create a cortisol response and that really messes with one’s health.
Her only reason to not continue on a carnivore diet was because she missed pasta. Might be worth it to work on the diet and the mental stuff in tandem. Her Heath is worth it.
@@Sarah-with-an-H Conflating eating a balanced diet with addiction to carbs is not only offensive and ableist, it is a false narrative without the support of science.
@@Stephmagnetism LMAO there’s nothing balanced about a vegan or plant based diet though. It’s a diet that eliminates the most nutritious food for humans.
Also it’s a good idea to look into nature and see what animals actually eat as species specific diets. Very rarely is that diet all that varied in fact there’s a lot of limitations on the diet in practically every animal that exists. Might actually want to ask yourself why that is.
I am really proud of Jaime for being transparent and sharing her experience. I am saddened that she is being sucked into pseudo science. But I know she feels at a loss. She has been searching for answers and relief for years. Loved your take on this
It worked for her. You can call it pseudoscience all day longs results are louder! Lion diet saved my life after 8 years of being a vegan who worked with a nutritionist and blood specialists.
@@anniegaston6377a blood specialist?
@@anniegaston6377 Then we have a ton of vegans stating te very same thing. That's why we need way more then anedocts full of bias , half truths etc.
@stefanisilva2493 Not going to happen. The government disinformation factory is working overtime. We are all on our own. Caveat emptor. "Let the buyer beware."
PS, The vegans are not saying the exact same thing. Some of what they say maybe similar. But the majority is not.
Veganism is smoke and mirrors. Look into the seventh day adventist church. And their connection to Coca-Cola and Kellogg's.
@@stefanisilva2493I disagree with this due to healthy user bias.
Most information we have on plant based helping people recover health is very questionable.
Ask yourself why are most ex-vegans having good results from starting to eat more meat?
Honestly, if eating only meat and butter could cure my Crohn's disease I'd do it in a heartbeat. There's a certain desperation for health only chronically ill people know, at some point you'll try anything and everything to get better.
I have RA and chronic Lyme so yep I get it fully currently in a brain fog and fatigue flare.
@@Sarah-with-an-H 'Chronic Lyme'. Never got the antibiotic treatment for this bacterial disease? Or are you talking about chronic complications of the Lyme disease?
Try it and tell us.
@@Killjoy_Mel I wasn’t even diagnosed with Lyme till 3 years after getting it. I didn’t have the telltale rash but I link it beck to when my ex’s dog got a tick borne illness. Lyme is a parasite that’s extremely difficult to get rid of if not treated immediately after noticing you have the bullseye rash. I never had the rash. It’s not a simple bacterial infection.
@@Killjoy_Mel For the record once diagnosed I went through 2 rounds of oral antibiotics which made no difference in how I was feeling at all and then a round of IV antibiotics. Upon first bIV the brain fog cleared , but that was 15 years ago. I was dial twitch Lyme and RA at the same exact time and both conditions overlap in symptoms and most doctors aren’t even Lyme literate so my primary care doctor fought on my behalf with the infectious disease doctor I went to for the IV antibiotic who Literally treated me like it was all in my head. Reality is though that there is a common thing for people who have Lyme disease to be treated like it is all in their head when that’s the disease
So, it's sad that she feels better? Wow...
I did the carnivore (lion) diet for 30 days religiously. I didn't experience a week of bliss like she did. I had stomach pain and liquid poops. I was craving rice and hot sauce (weird I know). After 2 weeks it got better and I felt amazing and by week 3 I didn't really care if I was just eating steak or not I actually felt the whole act of eating was annoying because I was bored LOL. HOWEVER this story isn't without issues. I was very hot all the time and whenever I'd wake up at night to pee or just in the morning my heart would be racing. In the 120s. I have a fitbit to prove this. I was told not to worry about it because my body was simply burning hotter. Mmhmm well this started to happen during the day too. Heart palpitations are no fun. I got to my 30 days, and gave up and ate some vegetables and fruit. I never lost weight by the way because I'm able to actually eat 2000 calories of fatty steak. In the long run I ended up heavier after I started back on carbs at 1700 calories. Yet I was still pissed for stopping because I liked how I felt minus the heart thing. All that to say carnivore diet isn't as romantic as some people say. Plant Chompers has a good video on the low carb topic. My heart was fine after being on carbs again for a weekish.
you probably got heart palpitations because your body was getting low in electrolytes, which is common in the first few weeks of the carnivore diet. All you had to do was take in extra electrolytes.
@@KacieMarie incorrect because I used a lot of salt and the Keto drops from that dr berry constantly pushes. I even tried LMNT which was gross and basically just salt.
@faylinameir Some people also experience increased heart rate as a side effect of ketosis. This is also called heart palpitations or a racing heart. It can happen during the first few weeks of a ketogenic diet. Being dehydrated is a common cause, as well as low electrolytes.
Significant electrolytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, phosphate, and bicarbonates.
Limiting your caloric intake can trigger heart palpitations. But you say you didn't lose weight, so that probably wasn't it. I'm curious, does that mean you were packing on the muscle? Since you were clearly losing water weight.
Having low blood levels of magnesium after 2 weeks of diarrhea may increase the risk of having "palpitations," or premature ventricular complexes (PVCs), a type of abnormal heart rhythm that is quite common and typically not life-threatening.
...magnesium is in charge of regulating your heart's rhythm...
I had an increased heartrate on carnivore. I added electrolytes - 2 per day to my water- and that went away immediately. The benefits have been weight loss- 30 lbs so far, 15 to go, blood sugar down to 80 the last time I took it from 117, blood pressure down which wasn't high but had been creeping up, no bloating or stomach issues except you do and I did have diarrhea the first couple of weeks which then stops, no issues going to the bathroom without fiber...the contrary I was having enormous bowel movements which were very uncomfortable with higher carbs and vegetables, I do sometimes have trouble sleeping because I have more energy that needs to be burned off but I haven't started a good exercise program due to long work hours but my body wants to move and do things, I couldn't have contemplated exercise before this diet, no aches and pains all over my body like I had before. On the downside, I do have psoriasis which was getting more severe a couple of years before carnivore...but it hasn't cleared up my skin. You are more full when you eat meat and don't have cravings for sugar and carbs at all or I don't. But you do still have to watch calories, especially women, because we don't need and don't burn as many calories as men. Long term, I will most likely try adding back in a few low carb vegetables and see where that goes after I reach my weight goals. I had tried 3 months of vegan before this and was miserable...constantly bloated, stomach issues, no way to ever get full, all I could think about was food, cravings out of control, weight gain because I had to eat so much food and was still hungry...always hungry. I can say from these 9 months I will always have a meat based diet.
This makes me so sad. I've followed Jaime for a while now and to see her fall for these fads breaks my heart.
I read the comments on her video and they made me even sadder. So much misinformation, no one cares about the fact she is seeing a naturopath. She’s getting so much support for going on this path 😢
my love, you are commenting this type of BS in the wrong channel.
1- the people you referred for details are not drs and are not in any field relevant to dietary information
2-the reason why the owner of this channel and many people in her audience dont eat raw is because it does not work long term, its too hard to eat a proper diet for no additional benefit. Im the perfect example, I follow this dumb diet for 1.5 years and it RUINED my stomach to this day (almmost 1 decade later) so keep the misinformation to yourself and your poor stomach thanks... let me get back to continue trying to heal my gut)@@MdoubleHBxxxx
I love Jamie and I feel bad for her as I have no way of helping her. I have never been overweight for long and have been vegan for 12 years now, so I don't know what she is going through. I will say that right before going vegan, I was a vegetarian who ate eggs and went vegan to lower my very high cholesterol despite being an athletic body type - again, I have never struggled with my weight like she has, so I can't help her with advice BUT I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED about her cardiovascular health. My grandfather and dad are on meds for life to keep their count normal and still have had heart attacks and surgery to stay alive. You are beautiful and not worth a stroke or heart attack with such an extream diet. It makes me sad so I avoided watching that video despite watching a lot of her content.
Cholesterol is the butter print block of all the cells in the body and it forms the insulation in the brain that prevents the signals getting crossed like what happens in MS. Cardiovascular wise her losing well gut will have a significant impact there.
@@Sarah-with-an-Hwut
A vegan diet is the most extreme. There's nothing extreme about eliminating plant based junk food with little or no nutritional value. You need to worry about yourself. We have lots of xvegans in our family. I've seen what it does to their health.
@@rawmilkmike how is a vegan diet extreme?
@@rawmilkmike medicines come from plants. What are you talking about? Some cats and dogs are allergic to animal proteins. Some babies are born allergic to their own mother's milk. Allergies are based on the individual - not the population. Civilizations exist NOT from hunting but from cultivation. I simply get my protein the same way most animals on the planet do because I don't need another animal to make what my body already makes for me.
There needs to be more of you in the world. I love how you don’t judge anyone and explain everything from both sides.
“Judge not, that you be not judged.
This is so on point, i’m not even vegan but i find you one of the most reasonable nutrition folks on youtube, thank you!
At 21:52 , you said that alt med practitioners argue that doctors don't test properly for thyroid conditions in a way that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. That is true. They often don't properly test for that. Doctors, especially GPs, don't adequately test for or have the time, patience, or sometimes the knowledge to help with many non-standard, not easily diagnosable health issues. Even after a long journey to get diagnosed with various thyroid issues, finding doctors who would actively do their best to adjust med dosing properly is a whole separate issue. The quacks are right about that one.
I was so upset when she made this video implying she could cure auto immune disease😢 because I’ve been watching her for a while and i knew she got sucked into the false clams and pseudo science. And while i feel for her she has a large audience and even a video like this can be so damaging
I have an auto immune disease and a diet high in animal protein and very low in carbs is the reason why I am able to walk and live without being in constant misery and pain. My health got so bad I almost took my life twice. Eating the way I do saved my life. Every body is different and there is not just one diet that works for everyone.
Thank you fir saying this I have RA and chronic Lyme. I’m in a fatigue and brain fog flare so bad I’m considering going back to carnivore even though I’m waiting to get approved for disability and can’t afford carnivore reality is I can’t live like this either. @@LadyV557
@@LadyV557 Same for me. I am currently a vegetarian but I accept that I'm in constant i flammation because of it, I can't breathe, my sinuses are just constantly swollen. I also sadly function the best on high animal protein, very small portions, low carbs (so leafy salads, low carb vegetables and so on. No grains). Least amount of physical pain and aggressive discomfort, that includes migraines. I have no migraines on high animal prot low carb diet, so right now I kind of just have to accept the migraines. I'll switch once I decide that the pains and discomfort is getting so low I'd rather walk into traffic.
Any response? Are these two above sharing pseudo science as well? You obviously know better how they feel when they eat something
@@LadyV557 so just diet alone or are you also undergoing treatment? I have an autoimmune disease and my Dr said there's no diet to cure it and he only recommends a generally healthy diet because that's good for everyone, he specified heart healthy. Meat is not heart healthy. If it's your medicine that's making you feel better and you're giving all your credit to your diet, you're just plain wrong.
I followed Jamie French, and when I saw that video, I was disappointed because I didn't think she would be that kind of fad diet follower
I think she's just desperate to feel better.
I think she's also devoutly religious and conservative 😟
you have no idea what it is like to live with an actual metabolic and hormonal disorder
@@UnnaturalVeganthat’s the vibe I get from her too. She’s tried a bunch of things and discussed it in her channel before. Usually everything is a big ol fail.
@@PhereNicae1 I don't think her comment was intended with any malice.
wait what’s wrong with neal barnard and the low fat whole food plant based diet? i have really trusted him but i’m curious to understand more why he may be incorrect? could you do a video on him
She’s hilarious in her comedy, but I steer clear from her food or diet videos. You can tell she hasn’t found HER flow yet when it comes to her health and she is influenced by random things, like many people are. It’s a struggle but I really hope she figures it out.
the nyquil part was a little bit hilarious/sad. nyquil contains dextromethorphan which has fun side effects such as drowsiness/sedation, constipation, anxiety, dizziness/general motor skill problems, and just an overall "off" feeling - in higher doses hallucinations and full dissociation. and for certain people it can last a long time - i took one extra strength DXM tablet while i had covid and i was literally on a mild drug trip for almost 48 hours, it was hell. not to mention nyquil also contains antihistamines which likewise cause drowsiness etc.
in short, it was definitely the nyquil babes...
FODMAP would've been better for Jamie to figure out what bothers her before trying to diet to lose weight 😢
I've followed Jaime's channel for years and when she posted that video my red flag detector was in overload (mentioning anything with Jordan Peterson or Joe Rogan is an instant red flag). I've struggled with weight my entire life, like Jaime, and I see myself in her with the overthinking about weight and calories. I finally fixed my mindset and got out of the toxic diet culture and I feel a lot better with my body. On another note, I am not a vegan and don't think I will ever go that path (vegetarian, I definitely could), so I was kind of surprised the algorithm was promoting your videos to me. I'm glad I watched this one though because you seem to follow evidence-based science. I'll have to check out some more of your videos.
I had significantly more energy, lost weight and have kept it off while drastically reducing my insulin resistance, built more muscle and became leaner. How? By eating a vegan, whole foods, low carb, sugar free, high protein diet and working out regularly. Although the treatment of animals was the reason why I became vegan, how it benefitted my health was worth staying vegan. 10.5 years later and I could never go back to eating meat or dairy.
Oh my goodness, I started watching her some weeks ago and then she mentioned that she does carnivore. I was so disapointed because i usually like her opinions. Now i cant watch her without cringing. Im a vegetarian, trying to cut back as much as I can. Im not in the position to go 100% Vegan but im cutting out as much as i can. Why am I writing this? I feel like these are my credentials to being disapointed. Btw. if you see this comment, love your content, you are my youtube mom and have taught me to argue better♡ Good Night Soldiers
When she hated rigelleto that's when I knew her opinions were lame lol and not thought out.
I use Carno low carb keto diet makes life easier
I had to go on a low fat, low fibre liquid diet for a long time due to gastroparesis… as a vegan who can’t have gluten that was tricky at times but because it’s what I needed I didn’t find it hard at all. I gradually found treatments that worked well for me and naturally started to reintroduce foods to my diet, and my skin and allergy symptoms got worse. But my chest also grew and got tender, I got a variety of new unpleasant symptoms that I probably could link to the foods I’ve reintroduce but my common sense says that I’m better nourished, my hormones are fluctuating more and my body is learning how to digest certain foods that I haven’t had in years so of course I’ll have some unpleasant symptoms. I am still awaiting allergy testing to make sure but otherwise I will assume my body is adjusting and no food is evil or damaging for me. I won’t buy into any quackery, if you listen to your body you will work out what your body is trying to tell you and just trial and error things one at a time. I will always be vegan though!
It's a sad state of affairs when our choice of diet divides us. Can we just let everyone do what's best for them without calling them stupid and crazy. Nothing in this video was encouraging to anyone trying to figure things out.
Calling out misinformation may not "feel" encouraging, but it's 100% necessary. It's so easy to be persuaded by people making false claims because they're a fantasy, but don't have a basis in reality.
I think she really lost it when ozempic did not work for her so at this point she wants to try anything also I’m convinced most people feel so much better when they cut out gluten. People like to demonize carbs but gluten is usual the culprit to most peoples fatigue bloating Ibs and allergies. Not everyone but many. I haven’t fully cut out gluten but a have cut out a lot.
I’m so glad you made a video on this. I love Jaime and I just watched that video this morning and it was really upsetting to me. I just had this gross feeling listening to her talk about it knowing that this fad diet is actually crazy restrictive.
It’s the elimination aspect which helps people. By eating only potatoes that would work for some people with issues, but that isn’t a long term solution. Go and see a specialist to sort yourself out and live your life with compassion. If can’t eat an apple, you’re the problem not the Apple.
I had just discovered this channel recently and really enjoyed her content….then I saw this new video come up in my feed. I couldn’t watch it. It makes me so sad 😢
A former carnivore here.
First thing that is a complete BS is that you are in deep ketosis on carnivore. You can be if you eat mostly fat. Otherwise liver will use amino acids to generate glucose. If one eats steaks only they are not in ketosis.
I had bacteria overgrowth that would ferment any plant into alcohol in my stomach. That’s when I went carnivore. I’ve been a carnivore for almost a year but unfortunately my gut didn’t feel well although the rest of my body did. Now after multiple ways to stabilize my digestive system I eat heavily plant based keto. With fish as a main protein. Maybe I’ll eventually switch to vegan. But one has to be healthy to eat these grains and fruits. Because if you have bacterial overgrowth anywhere it will get worse.
Before I became vegan, I was almost persuaded by all the anecdotes of carnivores as well.
I have one of the illnesses that is directly targeted by carnivore scammers. I’ve had to leave all online support groups because they’ve devolved into a constant argument over how carnivore is the only “good” diet for us. It’s not. Elimination diets and medication are the only things we can do to help, but medication is risky for us so carnivore appeals as a simple “cure all”. It’s nice to hear a video by someone else recognizing that it’s not the solution.
I really used to like Jaime, but she is super easily roped into pseudoscience (cue the 'gall bladder cleanse'). She has some serious health issues and I feel for her, but she needs to go to a REAL doctor and if weight loss is her goal: start counting calories and cut out the foods that she reacts to. She buys into all of those 'ancestoral' bullshit, takes raw adrenal cortex (hi, BSE), but a day later shows a fridge full of Alani Nu energy drinks. Make it make sense. I'm also shocked she genuinely says it changed her life and she felt amazing when the whole video she is listing all of the ways in which she felt shitty. She lost weight because she ate in a deficit. That's it, that's the whole miracle.
The comment section is why this video was truly worrying though. So many people commented they wanted to try it too, asked her medical advice and so on.
@@kleingeld6132 As someone with severe RA and chronic Lyme carnivore is the only thing that makes me feel somewhat good
> "Do anyone care about Atkins diet"
I thought Atkins, Keto, Paleo/Caveman, Low-carb, South Beach were all more or less the same idea under different packaging. Gary Taubes' Good Calories book (understandably hated by most vegans) says so in the beginning chapter.
I have a friend who was doing a keto diet and he was talking about how great he felt and how he was losing weight. I was telling him about the vegan low fat high carb diet I was doing that was really helping. I lost weight and within a week my blood pressure went from 150/110 to 100/75. my friend just told me he was feeling sick and went to the ER and he has diabetes. Hes rethinking about my diet now.
I come from a family where my father side was obese. My sister's always been obese. I know what the mentality is. The one thing they do not want to adjust to is stopping the food that they're buying outside. My sister is famous for downplaying how much she actually consumes but that's her life. I can't judge her for that because now I'm fat due to lack of exercise and injuries.
It seems simple but it's not easy in practice is it? One of the things that people say that drugs like Ozempic help with is "food noise" and basically food addiction. I think that is a big problem for a lot of people.
This is disappointing. I totally get the desperation felt when dealing with health issues … but this certainly does make me view her differently. Anyone who brings up Jordan Peterson without doing background research is an immediate no for me.
As a mental health provider: I now ask about extreme diets specifically during the initial assessment. There are a lot of docs spinning pseudoscience for profit. For some this can cause anxiety and other mental health issues. SMH.
Technically a vegan diet is an extreme diet too.
@@Sarah-with-an-HI'd disagree based on the fact that a balanced vegan diet includes all macro and micro nutrients in abundance. Whereas carnivore/keto/low carb/low fat/low whatever is always lacking in something.
LMAO if it’s balanced why do you have to supplement B 12?@@wa6184
@@wa6184 There are cultured throughout history that thrived on a carnivore diet. Same can’t be said of vegan. Vegan diets are fairly new to human history and to maintain requires a rather large carbon footprint
@@Sarah-with-an-H can you please tell me which human cultures lived as carnivores? I've never heard of them.
Also a vegan diet has been proven time and time again that it has the smallest carbon footprint so idk where you got the idea that it doesn't.
I hate when people bring the ancestor, they lived until what 30? 😅
Carnivore was a great elimination diet for me because of my ibs, meat is pretty much my only safe food. There is definitely an adjustment period when reintroducing foods but it made it more obvious what my problem foods are. Now i do a low fodmap diet. It's a decent short term diet imo, i wasn't doing it for weight loss but it did help break my sugar addiction.
Edit: i must be one of the few that didn't "feel" different on the diet other than my ibs symptoms improving, i also didnt get the diarrhea most people have at the beginning.
I did an eliminate diet and it let me to a low carb high fat diet. I basically eat meat, dairy, and fruit and feel happy. I dont do well on all gains, all legumes, and most veggies.
I need to get back to carnivore I’m experiencing a flare and carnivore I had about 5 days of adjustment, which still felt better than any other diet I’d tried. The best part was losing my appetite
yes! super good for sugar addiction!!
She's desperate to feel not sick/bad...I can't imagine.
What science backed books, cookbooks, or other sources would you recommend for someone getting started with veganism?
I've heard The China Study is a good one.
Will be vegan 7 years this coming November. The best way of eating I've found is to just make what I would have normally made and substitute.
Pasta and meat sauce?
Just normal pasta sauce, and either cooked tofu, lentils, or some sort of meatless crumbles for the "meat"
That sort of thing... I hope this helps. There's lots of recipes all over the Internet... And a lot of them are gross when they use alternative flours and sugars... So I'd recommend unbleached flour and sugar in the raw/raw cane sugar instead of white... Both are much better than almond flour and agave syrup (which can be expensive for baking).
For making things creamy, my husband and I either use canned coconut cream (like for curry) or unsweetened soy milk (goulash, creamy pasta dishes). Oat and almond milk are terrible for cooking but good for smoothies 😂
This is the first video I saw from you.
I think I’m coming back.
I saw the Jamie thumbnail and cringed so much that I could not click. It’s worse than I thought. I want to talk to her
Oh my, a collab I never expected! Always strange to see when one RUclipsr you watch talks about another, haha. But yeah, I pretty much agree. This video of hers made me cringe so bad....
So I have thyroid cancer and also had my thyroid removed like this girl did… it’s standard to be on a med for life to replace that, so possibly what she needs is a med adjustment?? She should be seeing an endo regularly with thyroid cancer, and I’m very curious what her endo thought of this carnivore doctor’s advice… there’s also a thing where typically you do gain a little weight after thyroid cancer; I don’t know if that’s the type of weight she is trying to lose, or if it’s more than that. The allergies complicate things for sure, but there is hope for the “hypothyroidism” (eg you do not have a thyroid, which I kinda classify differently in my mind… more like you need to adjust the med you already take than you suddenly discovered your body is doing something unexpected) outside of radical diets!
Exactly!!!
I have been subscribed to Jaime for so many years and I was SO disappointed by that video, she even quoted Jordan Peterson!!! Like make a video about trying the carnivore diet but she decide to give airtime to a LOT of bizarre ideas and problematic people.
Why not do an allergy test for dairy if she suspects she's allergic? Eliminate it, try it, boom there's your answer 🤷🏻
I thought it was a joke based on her usual content.
It's ridiculous how many people fall for this in a crazy way. Especially the ones who go "it's the natural way, our ancestors ate this way!" That is so far from true unless we're talking people who live in extreme climates and whose diet is naturally somewhat more restricted than elsewhere.
Liz Seibert is another one to look at with this weird fad of animal fat and protein. There, it's enriched by questionable unpasteurized Amish dairy and thinking it's wholesome and that the animals are raised better (Which is already ridiculous) and that unpasteurized dairy is somehow exempt from lactose-intolerance :D
Jaime has PCOS, not just 'allergies'. PCOS is a chronic auto-immune illness with severe symptoms that can make being alive intolerable
the root cause of PCOS is insulin resistance. and how do we become more insulin sensitive? by cutting carbs and carnivore is the perfect vehicle for that. I love the carnivore lifestyle.
@@imawesome6137 I'm glad you found something that works! From what I've learned over the years some form of keto/low carb is the most effective way of eating for PCOS and hormone balance
@@imawesome6137 That’s not wise to eat cause bs if if your a food addict and. Carbs are the triggering foods. Like an alcoholic me eating my trigger foods means there’s no self control .
Her PCOS is why she can't lose weight, not her thyroid. I have both conditions and after much legitimate research, I can guarantee she's focused on the wrong problems. But we already knew this. She might have a chance if she went to a good endocrinologist and a registered dietitian.
@@skyefirenails She had thyroid cancer she doesn’t have a thyroid
I have had lyme disease for over 20 years and suffered from debilitating vestibular migraines for many years. Lyme nearly destroyed my life. After spending thousands of dollars and years of misery and pain, I found the diet that has helped me the most is one that is high in animal proteins and very low carbs. I tried to do beans and legumes to get my protein but they are major migraine triggers so had to cut them out. This all of course has been a long journey to figure out what works for me and I am grateful that I found the key that gave me my life back. One diet is not better than another. Every body is different. Being vegan works for some folks and not for others. If I tried to be vegan I would set myself up to live in a nightmare of pain and lose everything that I have worked hard to achieve. No one diet is the right diet for everyone.
I was diagnosed with RA and chronic Lyme 15 years ago. I’m in a flare currently too. Life just feels really hard right now
@@Sarah-with-an-H I replied to you on another post but wanted to suggest cutting out as many sugars as you can until you can get to the place where you can try to work with a keto/carnivore diet again. You can find a lot of good information online about how sugars can negatively affect Lyme disease and RA.
@@LadyV557 I already do cut back a lot on processed foods sugar wheat corn and onions and veggies that are very high in oxalates . I don’t seem to have a problem with rice or beans in moderation if they are cooked very very well
When I saw Jamie post that carnivore video at first I thought it was a joke. I was like Jamie!? I was shocked.
In my researchs, I always find in common, regardless of diet, whther vegan or carnivore, you have to supplement a deficiency regardless. Your brain is always trying to regulate your body. At least from what I have read, the reason people lose weight fast at the beginning because your brain is trying regulate itself. Its not use to the change, low lepin levels(energy) and it wants to go back to your weight you started by causing hunger and slow metabolism.
This was really well presented. I also really hope that she finds some qualified help. I watched Jaime's video and cringed myself inside-out when she mentioned Jordan Peterson.
I know! That was so upsetting that she was apparently listening to that POS. Him and Rogan. Ew
thank you so much for this video. it was so confusing to me. and all the comments are glowing with no criticism. i was so confused. i'm glad i can see others had alarm bells going off too lol
A lot of people refuse to accept the truth about weight loss, doesn’t matter if you’re only eating meat, or vegan or any other diet choice…the only way to lose weight is to be in a caloric deficit. Exercise would be a great idea as well.
I have a family history of thyroid disease. Being hypo does mean you pack on weight. My gran had it badly and went from a delicate lady to hefty before she was diagnosed. Getting treated saw her drop the weight. I went hyper in my twenties and the treatment made me put on 3 stone and it was impossible to lose the weight until I was off the pills. Then the weight fell off me.
If your metabolism slows down you will gain unless your appetite also reduces. It’s not just salt and water.
You're just jealous, admit it. You're jealous that she gets to...not know more about Jordan Peterson. Same girl, same.
Lion diet literally changed Mikaela Peterson's life. It is hard to dispute that anecdote. And there are thousands of anecdotes like that. Do you have to go carnivore just like that? No. But whole food animal based diet doesn't go against our ancestrial diet - just the opposite.
And just for the record, remember folks that Keto and Carnivore are not weight loss diets - they are not.
If anyone needs me Ill be in the corner neurotically watching for the spider 😂
Sign, the big problem for me is the amount of processed food incorporated into the typical SAD. Take the Starbucks egg bits that made her unwell, they have over 20 ingredients from gums to acids and enzymes. I’m sad that she ate that.
Everyone is talking about an elimination diet in these comments... But the main reason for going carnivore IS an elimination diet. It is very rare to be allergic or react poorly to meats, yet for plants it's rather easy (even without knowing it). You are supposed to introduce foods slowly on the diet and then figure out what's wrong. Not enough transparency or information in this video. Ik ethics are a concern given this channel is about veganism, but still. Honesty is the best policy, and you should give a fair and thorough assessment of the pros and cons. Numerous practicing doctors are primarily meat-based, if not full carnivore, so there is definitely some substantive and meaningful science worth unpacking here. Also, it's odd seeing such a lack of awareness about electrolytes in regards to those who have tried the diet. A proper balance of magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium is CRUCIAL on this diet given the lack of carboHYDRATES. Same issue applies to keto. You absolutely must take electrolyte supplements, especially when starting. We don't drink mineral rich river water anymore (benefits are no parasites... But also less minerals!) and the meat itself has diminishing electrolytes due to soil depletion which is the nutritional basis of animal feed through grass and hay and everything that grows from it etc. I'm not saying go carnivore, but a lot of the comments are misinformed, as is this video targeting a clearly unhealthy creator doing everything she can to feel somewhat healthy again after trying EVERYTHING even veganism. Not a fair evaluation at all, and just seems exploitative in my op.
Thank you for this video, you keep doing great work
This video reminded me to put my suncream on, thanks
One more thing I need to share. Some people with bowel problems need to “rest the bowel” and will have surgery to create an colostomy about the section on bowel requiring the rest. Food does not pass through this section until it is healed and re anastomosed. This is effectively an elimination diet.
“Crazy diet claims” says the Vegan 😂 the unsustainable “FAD” diet lmaoooo
Ahahahaha as an actual medical professional most carnivore dieters are not us
Im glad you covered this
I am on a health journey right now . I’m tracking what I eat. The serving sizes are the recommended ones . I still eat chocolate and drink pop. But in moderation this time . I used to over indulge in junk food . The new workout pants I just bought a couple weeks ago are starting to feel loose . My health is my motivation. I have severe sleep apnea I’m trying to reverse
On the thyroid stuff, I was diagnosed Hashimoto’s 15 years ago. I had symptoms a decade before that. Doctors wanted to blame my symptoms on everything under the sun, all not related to the thyroid. It’s tough! I do understand doctors don’t have the time, but it is very frustrating. It’s also understandable everyone starts googling their symptoms when they are ill.
Came here to write this, but I see the experience isn't unique. I was even hospitalized multiple times as a child and was never tested for endocrine disorders or food allergies. Turns out I have Hashimotos and can't eat soy, gluten, or lactose 🙃 and it took a lot of pushing to get the workup that finally discovered the issue. I really feel for her and hope she gets the answers she needs!
I was thinking her symptoms sounded familiar.
We should be careful, though. I remember when a friend of mine was diagnosed with autism. Suddenly, he saw autistic people everywhere.
Another friend did the same, but then after she was "diagnosed" with ADHD.
You get my point.
@@ThingsYoudontwanttohear yes, but hashimotos is confirmed with a specific blood test for it. It’s an autoimmune disease, so it will show the antibodies in the blood test. I get what your saying, but it’s a bit different when it’s a yes or no result confirmed. I have two children on the autism spectrum, one being completely nonverbal, in diapers at 10 yrs old. It’s pretty cut and dry he has it.
Jamie has thyroid cancer and her thyroid was removed . She has to be on medical for that for the rest of her life. Even if she had Hashimoto’s she doesn’t have a thyroid to function or dysfunction. Her symptoms will be similar hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s but it’s not either@@stacyq7656
Wait what? Did they never tested TSH levels once?
People can knock her all they want but what the carnivore diet/way of eating is eliminating ALL foods that could cause inflammation. You have to understand that 3,000 years ago there wasn’t Walmarts, 7-11’s, processed food that had a 2 year shelf life. So saying there were vegans/vegetarians/carnivores everywhere is a lie, plain and simple. You ate what you could find near where you lived. I’m an omnivore after realizing there are essential fatty acids, and essential proteins but there is no essential carbohydrates. You can go your whole life and never eat a carbohydrate and be perfectly fine. I tried being a vegetarian because I loved animals and got to thinking they had souls. After working with trees and plants for years I came to realize they had personalities and awareness. I realized killing one cow a year might not be as bad as killing hundreds of plants. I also kept having kidney stones, two of which required invasive surgery. Anywho to each their own. You can’t knock someone for trying to not be in pain and feel normal.
Congratulations for finding what works for you. One correction, to eat plants, they killed a lot of animals too in growing and harvesting the plants, so don't let them get away with it. There is no such thing as food without death.
regular doctors train in nutrition for like half a day in their med degree and many of the students don't show up that day I have had doctors confirm this is generally true. Not sure why cite physicians on nutrition as if its law. There are actual PHD scientist who spend their career researching nutrition and people aren't listening to them (fyi they hugely favor whole food plant based diets)
It's so sad that this isn't generally acknowledged when even MDs confirm this all the time.
But we all saw crystal clear what people think of credible scientists during the pandemic 🙄
I just eat the daily recommended intake of my macros and try to get rda of other nutrients.
I tried low fat and low carb and both too difficult to stick to and I had cravings for the forbidden foods.
Eating a balanced diet the biggest challenge I have is eating enough calories a day. It’s difficult to eat all the fiber you are supposed to have and keep consuming more calories. All of these miraculous cures they talk about I get from a normal balanced diet.
One of the strangest things is my finger nails growing out of control.
Looking forward to read it! Very nice looking cover too ❤
Having Dr. In front of your name doesn't actually mean you're a medical professional. Because naturopath's aren't medical professionals. And there are some skeezy "drs" out there in the world. You have to do your research. And you have to go with a dr who is board certified and has worked in the scientific medical field and whose phd lines up with actual medicine.
Jaimie is so sweet. I’ve watched her for years. I left her a comment on this video telling her I want to support her channel, but I have no interest in watching a video about her eating meat for 30 mins.
You talk about scurvy from carnivore and yet regularly preach the need for B supplements for vegans?
The difference is that carnivores pretend that there are no nutritional deficiencies in their diet, while vegans communicate this very transparently.
I’ve followed her for years. I had to delete her after this. She’s fallen down a weird rabbit hole.
I totally agree with the main thrust of your video. One thing I question though is the assertion at the beginning that all different kinds of diets work about the same. That is no doubt true on average, but I do think there are individual differences, some people do better on different diets. If you look at any study on the effectiveness of a diet most people do better, some people do not. I am not at all saying that some people should be carnivores, more like maybe some people do better on lower fat diets, and some on lower carb diets. (I am not an expert of any sort.)
Carnivore works for me.
I just wish that people who don’t know what vegan means stop referencing ‘the vegan diet’. There is no vegan diet. Vegans do not have the same diet.
Being vegan is about reducing harm as far as practicable and acknowledging that these oppressed species deserve some fundamental rights.
No, there is a vegan diet though. It omits all animal products, no? It's a specific diet that gets its name from the lifestyle that considers eating in a very particular way mandatory if one wishes to call themselves vegan. It's also a convenient shorthand, because 'plant based' is more a mouthful than just vegan, and more people are familiar with 'vegan' anyway. Language works in simple ways: it flows and takes the path of least resistance. The catch-all term 'vegan' is the path of least resistance.
Are there other species in this world (besides humans, because we so very much like to see us as something that exists 'outside' nature, like an alien) that aren't oppressed, then? If we're going into semantics.
@@Killjoy_Mel You can be plant based but not vegan so they are different. Vegan isn’t a diet. Whole food plant based is a diet, raw vegan is a diet. My issue is with people who don’t know what vegan means referencing the ‘vegan diet’ as in “I tried the vegan diet for a while”.
Hey, really nice video! I was wondering if I can help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them.
A carnivore diet is probably salubrious because of the high amounts of vitamin B12. Just take more B12 if you are vegan.
I feel like that high at the beginning of a diet is mostly a sense of accomplishment and purpose. Like you're finally getting your shit together and everything will just fall into place. It's really sad actually.
Agree with most of this. Plateaus in weight loss sure seems to be a thing though. Keep eating the same low calories, and in time the body protests and stop losing weight, even when there's plenty of fat left on the body. You will then have to eat even less to keep the weight loss going. It will also result in quick regain of weight even if eating a lot less calories than should be normal.
veganism is a fad diet
Its the future!
During her video she said she ate butter throughout the diet, but somehow adding a little cream one day did her in. 🤔
Its those Vegan Doctors that are making Veganism infamous.
A vegan diet is a fad diet
Great video! I watched Jamie's video because I love her comedy content and got quack vibes - feel so bad for her.
I am not an expert in any way on the subject, but my son has hypothyroidism which was detected during his newborn screening blood tests 12 years ago. He has been on medication ever since and his levels are checked every 6 months. How does she think that she's had hypothyroidism her whole life and nobody caught it? Especially if she's had her levels checked since having it removed? It does not seem to be a difficult thing to determine....
It’s impossible to have your thyroid removed and not have hypothyroidism. Thyroid removal requires lifelong thyroid medications. Hypothyroidism is missed more often than hyperthyroidism.
To not have known about Jordan Peterson... I'm jealous.
What’s ur beef with Barnard ?
Well, some people with hipothyroid do gain weight and have trouble losing weight, not just water weight, because our metabolism, like a lot of other things, is slowed down. Our gut is slowed down. Our heart rate is slowed down. For me, even my liver function is slower which makes it so I get jaundiced all the time. Sometimes our brain function feels slower and we get things like brain fog. When I was really bad, before I got diagnosed because supposedly my blood tests were ok, I saw a bus with words written on it, like the stops and whatever, and I thought how weird it was that there was a bus with arab or chinese characters on it, when in actuality they were in my regular latin alphabet, and was in Spanish(which is the native language). It took my brain several seconds to make it out, instead of being instant like usual. I was shocked, and it's what I used to beg to get proper testing for my thyroid, which I ended up having extremely high tpo antibodies, and a sonogram that proved I had actually been suffering from thyroidism for many years barely any healthy tissue left, and I wasn't "fine" like doctors kept insisting, and I wasn't exaggerating my symptoms for attention. Doctors *DO* suck at diagnosing thyroid issues, especially in girls and younger women.
The carnivore diet saved my mother’s life. A few years ago she became very sick and was losing weight extremely quickly. She took all her doctor’s health advice. None of it worked. No matter what doctor approved diet she went on and how much of it she ate she lost more and more weight. She was becoming dangerously underweight and malnourished. She eventually became desperate enough to try the carnivore diet and fully eliminated everything but meat from her diet as a last ditch effort. She immediately started regaining weight and her energy. After several months on the carnivore diet, she slowly began re-introducing other foods into her diet and while she still has to be careful about what she eats, she is now able to eat a relatively balanced diet and is the healthiest I have ever seen her. I have seen too many peoples’ lives saved or drastically improved by trying this diet as a last ditch effort when nothing else worked to find people condemning it in this way reasonable. The lives of humans will always take priority over the lives of animals or the judgment of people like you.
of course it's reasonable to doubt something that has no solid evidence for it. The fact that all you have is anecdote proves this.
That was 1 Jamie video I just couldn't watch. I am glad I will be able to hear what she said without giving it a view.
People who don't live in industrialised societies are the ones doing this long term.
And when you don't eat a lot of sugar you don't need as much vitamin c.
2:25 I busted out laughing
