HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- It has been a while since I did a video like this, with beef prices on the rise, there's a lot less rib eyes in my diet than before. This is an up-to-date version of what I am currently eating to maintain my weight on a carnivore diet. I am eating 2 meals a day and looking for ways to feed a busy family (on a budget) without adding a bunch of carbs.

Week one down, just meat and a little above ground veg… the family ate what I ate. I’m so excited to find your channel. This gives me hope that we can all convert as a family. My mom died at 58. Dementia, renal failure, both legs amputated and in congestive heart failure. I turned 50 this year and I’m absolutely determined to live a long healthy life and teach my family to. Screw big pharma!
Yes scary thanks I hear u I am in my 50 my father had a stroke heart disease obesity all of it in my history too . All the best I might try it too!
Keep up the great progress!
My husband's father died of cancer at 56. He's now 44 and doing everything he can to avoid that fate. He lost a lot of weight on plant paradox (almost 100 lbs) but our progress (health and weight) plateaued and stalled. We moved to carnivore 3 weeks ago and back to losing weight and feeling much more energized. We no longer need sleeping pills. Something about meat is putting us back on a regular rhythm. Good for you for taking things into your own hands and screw big Pharma indeed!
Just what you wrote inspired me! I am convinced that low carb lifestyle is the key to health. Not just physical but mental health as well ❤️
❌️ 🚫 big pharma 👎🏽
*Continued good health to you.* ❣️ 💚
I've never heard of this diet but as a farm family we eat meat. I'm a farmer's wife and we raise our own pork and prime beef. Iowa farmer's are proud to raise the best meat in the world to serve the consumer. We have promoted our message and I am happy to come across your channel as you inspire me to continue to promote more and to help others while shopping for meat suggesting how to choose the best. Never buy meat that doesn't have the white marbling running through the fibers. Your meat will be tough. Beef from farm to market is raised over 18 months so a lot of TLC and good feed rations is fed.
American farmer's raise the best meat for our consumers. We are created to be meat eaters. FYI: Cows eat plants, but it is converted into high protein meat. It has all sources of vitamins and minerals.
I’m a Gilmore City ,Iowa farm girl and love farmers..Yes, eat meat🎉 I am definitely doing more carnivore..
Thanks for sharing! You're one of my main inspirations for leading this lifestyle. 7 months in, down 60 pounds. Many blessings, Laura!
Wow amazing job!!! 👏👏👏
Please help me start this
What did you start at? I’m 135 but short and wanting to get down to my prepregnancy weight of 123 my husband also is looking to lose 40-50 pounds how fast was the weight loss in the first month and how strict are you on carnivore only meat, or eggs and hard cheese too
@@kaza5360 Go cold turkey and start eating nothing but meat and eggs. Eat organs if you want, but many people don't and are perfectly healthy. Buy Shawn Baker's book The Carnivore Diet and get tips from Laura, she's amazing.
@@Kdm109 look up your bmi and eat slightly less than your recommended daily calorie intake. Look up low calorie recipes and start walking and doing cardio. You loose wait by eating less calories than you exert. Low cal high protein recipes are great because they taste good and aren't just meat which gets boring and is hard to stick to. Throw out all your junk food and start meal preparing.
In my 8th month & have never felt better …. Best of all I literally NEVER feel hungry anymore. My recent 3 day fast was a huge surprise for me: it was easy, effortless, & I felt as if I could easily go another day. I eat once or twice per day…slowly but surely am losing my menopausal weight gain. Laura, you & Chris & your two darling carnivore kids are a constant source of inspiration, empowerment, & great ideas + I’ve told all my friends to watch you too! My only issue: whether or not I should buy an air fryer!! LOL. Keep up the great work. Oh yeh…your mom’s story is amazing too!! Buy beef and support your local ranchers & suppliers.
I love my air fryer...mine is the smallest one at Walmart..but it's just me and does fine...fast and very easy clean up. It was only $40
Always excited to read about menopause weightloss, my current struggle.
After being on Keto for the last 4 months and losing 35 lbs, this week Im going to try Carnivore! You’re a great inspiration!
Amazing job!! Going carnivore after keto is a great way to identify certain trigger foods.
Yes I’ve found that nuts are a trigger food for me. I can’t seem to control myself with them😛 I started Carnivore today and I had the beef and eggs meal Oh my god! It was so yummy to dip the beef in the yolk🤩
@@jeananne4756 how's it going?
@@feebee5557 Hi Michelle! It’s going great! I’m down 55lbs now. I’m having less cravings. I think the most difficult part is eliminating the nuts and diet pop that I enjoyed on the weekends.
@@jeananne4756 that is awesome! Yeah, nuts were my weakness, too. I'd personally down an entire bag of shelled pistachios, the size you get at Costco, in a week! I'm somewhat still having cravings but only 3 weeks in and a sugar addict brain to boot so I know it'll take time. I'm happy to hear you're still doing well on this, it's nice to see/hear others having success on their health journey. Thanks for responding. Take care!
Your skin looks amazing and overall you look really healthy. White teeth, clear eyes. Thanks for showing a realistic week of eating!
she is wearing a full face of makeup..............
It’s all makeup and lighting.
Hi Laura, I just want to thank you, you are the reason I started carnivore 3 weeks ago and I feel amazing.
Awesome!! 👏👏👏
Hi. I'm just a week in on this diet and was wondering how you're doing 11 months later eating this way? Are you still doing it or was it too hard to stick with it?
@@saltygirl764 hey yes I’m still eating this way and loving it, just be patient it took probably 2 months to see real results, I’ve lost almost 20kg and my skin and hair feel amazing and I no longer suffer from migraines..good luck hun
42 pounds down. My success is causing some family members to start trying intermittent fasting and higher fat and a little more meat. Step by step. Thanks for posting this!
Great ❣️ health to you and your family, Ben. 💚👍🏼
Well done to you!
SAFEWAY on Oahu had a 3 day sale of sirloin for $3.99 lb. I bought about 15 lbs yesterday. I am trying carnivore to clear up some gut issues. In your previous videos the portions looked huge! I will start with Dr. Berry's advice to eat until comfortably full. Mahalo 🏝🌊🌋
I think that's a great idea.
I can eat easily a lb of meat if no veggies
I think it's great that you are a real person and have real issues like kids and a budget. I have fought myself over trying to eat in a more humane way but it's so freaking expensive to eat pasture raised & grass fed & finished meat, especially now. I still try and do what I can but it's not practical sometimes 🤷♀️ yet I'm stil kicking LOL
The energy I get from eating one beef meal a day is absolutely amazing!
Laura, you are so down to earth and I love that I never see "click bait" titles on your videos and I so respect that. Thank you so very much for putting these videos together. I'm worried as a single, retiree - that beef prices keep going up up up. You are looking really healthy and wonderful! Kudos to you Laura!
I'm wondering how people afford this diet. I'm on social security
Honestly I've ate grocery store pork all my life. Still kicking! Lol I love your chanel. I recently (about a month ago) started eating keto. (I love veggies. Lol) I have started eating more meat since I started watching. I recently tried the taco bowl. I like to add cauliflower rice to it. I mostly only eat broccoli and cauliflower, meat, and eggs. So far I've lost almost 10 lbs. Pretty much all my life I've struggled with sugar addiction. Nothing has helped until now. It was hard the first few days. But now it's a breeze. I don't even want sugar anymore. And honestly, when I did try to eat it, it made me sick.
That's amazing!!! I should try that cauliflower rice with the kids! Also I think veggies can be amazing for people if you like them and they don't affect you! So glad you have found what works for you! 👏👏
@@LauraSpath Trader Joe's has a nicely priced bag of the Cali Rice😋!!
@@hollyfisher8811 and Aldi & Sam’s club too
Nothing feels better than being free of those sugar cravings!
How do you beat the sugar craving?
Girl you don’t mess around in the kitchen! Love your style! I subscribed today 😀
Thank you for showing us how your kids enjoy their meals… helping my daughter to raise my 2 granddaughters (3 & 5) and they love meat and eggs but I like to offer other things as well and I want them to be healthy and happy… most days it’s more difficult keeping the 26 year old content with what I make 🤣 I really do appreciate ALL your videos, Laura. You have definitely helped me feel confident enough to try new things that I’ve never prepared before 👍🏼 THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT!!!
This channel has been a good resource. I am a 30 M. About 20 pounds overweight. I’ve mostly started with keto since Jan 1. Eliminated candy and carbs. Mainly meat and veggies. I plan to switch to carnivore in the next few weeks though a lot of my friends who lean politically a certain way have judged me for thinking about it. Oddly took it personal that I would eat only meat.
And believe my actions will contribute to climate change. Anyways My advice is don’t tell people you don’t need too. You’re Costco trip video was the MOST helpful. And I love me a Flying Dutchman! Sending you a lot good vibes!!!!
You should tell them climate change has been happening for millenia. The earth was hotter than it is now, 100 000 years ago, and it declined into a mini-ice age after that. This happens every few hundreds of years. Warms up, cools down. We're headed in that very same direction now. The poles used to be tropical rainforests before the big Ice Age. It's a natural phenomena that politicians are cashing in on because people have become mugs and believe everything they're being told by those in charge.
@@Ashtarot77 thank you for the advice. I will do this and send them video of a croc eating a zebra I stumbled upon LOL
@@dude2252 LOL definitely share the Nature Is Metal videos and pictures 😂
Laura, your videos are SO helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. I sincerely appreciate it!
I actually do make those "steak bites" from the meat scraps in the air fryer....Just salt them up, 380 for 15 mins....YUM!!!
I couldn’t do this lifestyle without your genius. Thank you!
Enjoying this video while eating my scrambled eggs, cooked with ham hocks, with roast beef on the side. 😊 carnivore is a game changer. I’m full, energized, and not having any temptation or cravings for the trash that I use to eat- unlike what I’ve experienced with any other diet.
Thanks for being so honest about it not being a weight loss week. Although some people might lose on this exact week, I would not.
Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?
Every family needs a wife and mother like you. Great ideas. Thanks for sharing. 😉
I absolutely love your videos. Your personality is so friendly, down to earth, and girl next door... No annoying traits. Just honest, tell it like it is life. Love it! Thanks for the ideas of different things to make and look for in the stores as well. I have been "dabbling" with keto/carnivore for a number of years now, but totally yo-yoing it. Now I am serious. I am losing that 40 lbs again and keeping it off and then going the distance to where I really need to be. You are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing :)
Just wanted to thank you for sharing your and your husband's journey! You've inspired me AND my husband. We have been on this new way of life diet for 3 weeks now. My hubby is down 20 pounds and I am down 17. We feel fantastic!
How's it going now?
@@feebee5557 Hi! I'm down 42 pounds and my husband is down 47 pounds! We both feel great! He is almost at his goal weight. I have 20 or 25 more pounds to go. 🤗
@@jjfriday1180 that's awesome! Any health benefits you'd care to share? I'm starting week 5 tomorrow. Down 15 lbs and have 10 to go! I'm finding my weight loss is also bringing my skin tighter. Are you experiencing this?
@@feebee5557 yes! Well, people say i look much younger now!🤗 also, my knees no longer hurt. In fact, my shoulder pain is gone and my psoriasis is clearing quite a bit. We've also noticed that we both feel so much calmer, more relaxed. My husband is no longer taking blood pressure medication. Best wishes to you!
When I am bored with eating the same leftover meat I like to make egg drop soup and add in leftover meat or even throwing it into the oven to crisp it or dehydrate it.
I absolutely love your videos!! They are so helpful!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Your kids are so adorable! Thanks for showing different kinds of meat and meals. If I could afford it I totally would be eating ribeyes everyday. You have helped me cook porkloin which I was not a fan of until I made your nuggets. It is probably one of my favorite meals now. What is funny the days you start out saying not super motivated to cook. Well that is me every day and you have made is super simple. Appreciate you and your videos❤
I am absolutely loving your channel!!!
This carnivore diet is just awesome. Still working on my needs but it is working so good.
Gotta remember, the all beef wieners !i love the pork belly and the beef scraps. I have always refused to eat meat without fat.
Thank you for sharing! It really helps when you throw in what the kids are eating as well to know how to include the entire family in!!! 🥰
Love these video's because this is real life! I can't wait to try the pork bites and hopefully my kids and hubby will eat them. I have such picky eaters I'm usually making either so many meals or else they don't eat. I feel so defeated at times. Please do more of these for ideas, you think they don't mean much but really they do!!! Thank you!
You are so down to earth and real, love it. You have inspired me to start a carnivor lifestyle. I'm now heading into wk 3 now 🤗. Ribeye here in Australia is $48 per kg so roughly $24 a pound at costco, so it's good to see other affordable choices 😀. Love your posts ❤🇦🇺
What is rib-eye here in Oz? I don’t know what it is called. I mostly eat mincemeat and eggs. And pork. Budget!!!!
@@dorsetboronia6744 In Australia it's called scotch fillet ❤️🇦🇺
@@jennig8824 ok Scotch fillet. I have never had that. Is meat at Costco a good buy. My son belongs so I could get it from there. Am considering carnivore. But did eat that way about a year ago and never lost any weight at all. Gone back to keto but not doing any good either. I am sure fasting is the way out. Good luck with your carnivore.
@@dorsetboronia6744 Depends what cut, otherwise Costco I believe isn't that great for prices, I usually find cheaper, at wholesale butchers, or even Afghan grocery shops are usually very good prices, I found T bones for 17.99 a kg, and the meat was great ❤️🇦🇺
@@jennig8824 Ok. Wholesale…I’ll look for one. Thanks for the idea
Just made hot dogs in the air fryer & idk why I’ve never thought of that before! Perfectly cooked without the constant rolling in a pan!
Thank you for sharing. Your videos are so encouraging. I love a good taco bowl 🍲. And, all my meat 🍖🥩 comes from the grocery store. I just do the best I can.
I love these types of vids; it's so motivating for me to get with the carni program and leave carb snacks behind. Looking forward to the restaurant selections. Thanks so much!

Turn, pour remaining mixture over drumsticks and cool another 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
Great video! I love that you share how you vary your meals with seasonings. These meals look delicious!
If you can tolerate seasoning it definitely makes cooking the same meats several days in a row taste super different!
I'm on day 5. I am surprised at how little I'm eating! My parents are concerned that I'm starving myself to death, but in reality, I feel fantastic. The cravings are expected and sometimes a little overwhelming, but having your channel and motivation has been very helpful. I'm sure I will eat more as I progress, but I have already lost some weight and my blood sugar is down 50 points! Thank you for sharing your journey, Laura. It is very helpful!
Just the motivation I needed for the week!
Thank you! I've been uninspired for food ideas lately and this helped for sure!
Awesome video Laura. Your determination to film this every weekday with as much honesty as possible is so inspiring. God bless 🌼🌞🌼🌞🌼 🌞🌼
I have been watching your videos and didn't realize you have a family eating the same way. Congratulations! It's hard to convert a whole family but I am going to try it.
Just getting started with carnivore and love all the meal ideas. Thank you and I subscribed to watch more of your videos.
Thnx for showing us all this, with family and editing etc!
I am starting this diet this Monday August 1st.. for 3 months. Thank you for these videos, its helps me think about my options. Cheers! (oh no beer for 3 months!, yikes!)
How is it going? One of my big hangups is not alcohol. I dont think I can commit to the diet because I really enjoy hanging out and drinking
How you going?? I'm about to start the carnivore diet.
How's it going?
Ok, I’m definitely trying those pork nuggets! Those are right up my alley. I love the “pizza meat” bowls, too. We make something similar in our house, but as a baked casserole. We just call it lasagna bake- it’s essentially lasagna with no noodles.
I am so inspired by how to handle it all. Full time job and then a FULL TIME JOB AFTERWARDS! Thanks
I always go through this diet when I feel like I’m getting a bit too heavy. I applaud you for sticking with it for so long but personally I really love pasta and the occasional beer.
But I also am very strict when I do go on the carnivore diet aka no cheese which kills me
Thank you for sharing; it has broadened my choices. Keeping it simple and delicious.
Thank you for putting in the time to make this video! You do inspire me.
I love lazy cooking it gives my time outside in my garden. I normally just cook ground beef mix in my crockpot for a meatloaf. Cooks well too I just add my seasoning I like and mix eggs into the meat to get it to stick together plus I add butter for more fat and flavors. Been enjoying your videos thanks for sharing
Wonderful video and you genuinely are brilliant in front of the camera. This is very helpful and concise! 🙏🏻
Thanks for the ideas! I’ve been keto for quite a while (fell off last year and recently restarted), but I’m finding that since my gallbladder was removed, even super clean keto isn’t enough to help my digestive health.. definitely considering carnivore/ketovore, and seeing your success and some of your recipe ideas helps make it feel more accessible.
Thank you for your ideas. Just started Carnivore diet and needed meal ideas. Look mouth watering delicious 🥰
R u starting slow?
I'm considering this diet, but need to figure out meaning of starting "slow" ...
And juijitsu kids!?!? Mom of the year. Love it!
Laura your videos are wonderful . And your a wonderful good mom . Thank you for your meat informative videos . Your welcome and may you have a great day as well .
I really enjoyed this , love that your kids eat much as the same as you ., I just started keto 2 weeks ago .. love learning
I LOVE your sense of humor! And thank you for these videos, they are great!
Just started this life change! Thanks for the tips.
Im on carnivore too now after been on keto for the past 11 months.
Just trying to cut carbs and loose weight...
Thanks for you lovely video!
This is a great channel! I only caught sight of you folks in recent times, but it’s now among my favourite channels.
I get so many ideas on cooking pork tenderloin with you! Thank you!
Snowbird Az live in Denver!
If I ever got my kitchen as clean as yours I'd eat out for a month! 😍
The chicken skin chips look and and sound so good!! Any idea at what temp to cook them in the oven and for how long? I don't have an air fryer 😕
Loved this video! Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
These were truly great ideas. Thank you!!! I’m starting tomorrow. I hadn’t heard anything about buying grocery store pork so I’ll have to see if can find out anything about that.
Just found this channel and I'm subscribing just bc I finally found someone that does "chicken skin chips" unironically! I've been doing that for years. At first my husband thought I was nuts and now he and the kids hover to enjoy them before I'm finished making them!
How do you do yours? Air fryer?
What's wrong with grocery store pork? Great video as ever, I usually eat OMAD with meat and a side of veg, but might try a few carnivore days this week.
Trying a few carnivore days can help identify any foods that might be causing you issues. But if you feel great eating veggies and like them you can always have them again! 👍
Loved the video, you are so helpful. Keep em coming please :)
Hello dear , how are you doing?
I just started 1mouth ago I was at 198 I'm at 173, thank you so much
Just starting Carnivore here, it's my first week. Your videos are great, you honestly seem like a female version of me. Especially the frozen panicked look on your face when any kind of math comes up. 🤣 It always makes me laugh since it's what happens to me as well.
Amazing how far you've come! It obviously works!
Appreciate these vids so much!
It's so cool watching a woman eat a keto or carnivore diet. I have dated vegetarians before. It just seems so unnatural to eat only plants. I have always thought our normal ancestral intake consisted mostly of meat with with a few fruits thrown in. Good video .
Great info! Looking great doing it too! Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Laura, thank you!!! 🌺🌺💝💝you’ve helped me & so many .. no doubt!!
Wow, that was quite interesting. I’ve tried carnivore before but wasn’t able to stick with it due to the rest of my family and friends not being on board. I’m going to give it another shot cause I did feel better. My acid reflux went away and my BP dropped.
Can you make a video on how you cook chicken skin chips please! 😍😁
Had pulled pork last night. It was amazing. I wouldn't mind having it every night to be honest. As you said, the beef is a bit more expensive than other meats.
Hi Laura, I’ve been binging your videos. Been mostly carnivore since July 2020. But now am strict. Your videos and podcasts with Judy are my daily inspiration. Thank you so much for providing so much free content. My cuisinart air fryer died last night! Do you recommend the one you use? I need a large one. So many to choose from. Disappointed in cuisinart. Died after 20 months. Thank you !
?
Thank you!!! I gained so many ideas for meals that are easy and with ingredients that won't break the bank!!! I appreciate you!!!
I just found you! I started keto / omad in January...menopausal, I've lost 13lbs (as of Valentine's Day!)....thinking about going full carnivore🤔....Great video! I'll be checking out some past ones too 👍
Great video! Love the new variety!!
Just found your video for the first time. Thank you for sharing. I hv tried keto lost some weight fell off the wagon. Now trying to get back on. I actually think combining both of these ways of eating would work
For me. Sometimes eating to much meat GROSSES me out but it's time to get back ON the wagon and take care of myself. The past couple of years hv really been doozies!!! Looking forward to more of your videos!! ❤
Honestly your channel is my new favorite. I noticed you use Goya products which are definitely good. What part of the country yall from?
Found your video. You look familiar. I live in Tucson. Love your ideas. I am trying to meal prep. I am a team trucker with my hubby. So far on week 2 . 7 lbs down. Funny I go to gym just for tan, sauna too. I like to do sprint swimming too.
Omg I thought I was the only one!!! I love the private selection dogs!!
Love the diet and the reported results and have started my journey. My question for Laura is, how has Carnivore affected your cholesterol?
I also asked this question.
For people that have already high blood pressure and a history of heart disease I can’t imagine this to be healthy if you get your cholesterol checked before and after this lifestyle, My dad was a true southerner and ate pork and bacon all of the time and died from a massive heart attack 😳This is interesting 🧐have to have my calcium score checked every year
@@mysticalfairy32 The pork and bacon didn't cause it. It would have been the bisquits and gravy, fried potatoes, grits and anything cooked in seed oil. And, of course, sweets.
@@mysticalfairy32 the meat didn't cause it. It was all the carbs from wheat, sugar, fried foods etc. We ate this way before food industrialization and lived without obesity, autoimmune diseases, cancer etc.
Thank you Laura! Your so honest and relatable.
Thank you Laura for all your videos. I am learning a lot from you and think it will be easier for me to keep to strict Carnivore using some of your food ideas.
Awesome video, thank you Laura! Gonna be starting a carnivore diet and this was helpful!
I enjoy your videos. You do a great job of explaining and providing details. Keep it up!
Your a tremendous asset for all who look for advice. Your delivery is so informative yet humble . Your skin and appearance reveal a vibrant , healthy , and happy person. Stay Meaty my friends !! 🥩😎
I love this type of video! Thank you!
Laura, great content and ideas for different Carnivore dinners.. Quick Tip... dampen a paper towel and put it under your cutting board in order to prevent it from slipping around. I am sure you probably know that already.. but just in case.. the footage of you cutting up the pork loin made me a bit nervous for your fingers.. LOL! Keep the great content coming.
😂 I actually sliced a piece of my glove off 😬 good tip! I was using a disposable cutting board that is more slippery...plus speeding up the video makes it look more crazy.
I just found your page while searching if pork is good on the carnivore diet. I started this journey about 5 weeks ago and have lost 18lbs. I wasn't sure if pork on this diet was good or not? I was following the Lion Diet and basically tired of beef all the time. Thank you for the videos.
You got that good seasoning from down here in the Florida Panhandle. Bad Byron’s is amazing!
Hi Laura, I'm new to your channel and appreciate the meal ideas. I'm just getting serious about starting carnivore and researching how best to cook my meals. Thank you for a great video!
If you buy lean pork tenderloin you can brine it overnight and it will be tender and juicy. I worked in catering and the chef always made the best tenderloin.
You’ve probably already considered doing this or have been encouraged to buy a portion of beef and/or pork from a grower. Where I live there is a State wide grower/ processor/consumer group named Farm Direct Minnesota where rancher/growers advertise their wares and PM/DM prices if not stated on the site. I bought a 1/2 steer (Black Angus) and my ‘out the door price’ was $4.00 lb. That’s the whole spectrum from burger to Porterhouse. Vacuum sealed, frozen and labeled.
Did a whole hog from the same rancher. When people rave about the flavor difference between store bought and farm direct, it’s a real obvious difference. The whole hog price was comparable per lb. to the beef, including smoking the hams and bacon. You can buy smaller ‘shares’ from an 1/8th beef to the whole thing.
Just found your channel and subscribed....really good stuff. I can't wait to try the cheeseburger meatballs...congrats on your wellness goal..well done.
