☆ ABOUT ME ☆
I am a former tech worker who lived in NYC for 30 years. At 50, I started an Amazon FBA business. Fun, but neither career allowed time for healthy living.
Last year, I turned 60, overweight, out-of-shape, pre-diabetic, with high cholesterol, and couldn't walk 20 minutes without resting.
In August 2023, I began the carnivore diet. I lost 65 pounds in 3 months.
Now, I can walk miles, have normal cholesterol and blood pressure, and am no longer pre-diabetic. I feel 30 years younger, and I'm passionate about sharing my story to help others.

Thank you for your video. My husband and I are now over 100 days and feel like new people. ❤
You got this!
Congratulations!
I'd fill your cart with the Costco frozen grass fed/finished individual hamburgers, $5 per pound. After 2-days of eating them, you will so sick of looking at them you will fast for several days.
LOL. I got Costco frozen “Wagyu” beef patties recently and you’re not wrong.
Jay, I think you do very well with your shopping and I feel it is very important that you show everyone how to make the most of your money spent for this way of living. Carnivore lifestyle seems like it would be very costly, but you always prove it can be affordable as well as have some great variety. Thanks so much for all your efforts making these videos.
Thanks very much for your comment. I think it could be done for half of what I spend, but I’m a big guy and I eat a lot, and I value ease in cooking more than anything else.
@@Jaylwoodworth Oh you are making me laugh, you don't eat that much...
Once a person realizes that it doesnt have to be fancy ribeyes every meal or beef every meal then I really believe carnivore is one of the cheapest ways of eating. Example, a dozen large eggs must, by law, weight at least 24 ounces (1 and a half lbs).I know my prices are cheaper here in the middle of the UDS but eggs right now can be purchased in the $1.50 range. That is only a dollar a lb for one of natures most perfect foods
He did do an excellent job.
If you like chicken and pork, you can do this even cheaper. Chicken thighs and legs are dirt cheap. Pork tenderloin is silly tasty when you marinate it and toss it on a screaming hot grill. Both usually don't push beyond the $2.50 lb range and if so not usually a whole lot higher.
@@brandonkick Yes, Chicken and Pork are cheaper, but if you are eating carnivore for health you would want to include ruminant meats for the nutritional value, even if it is ground beef.
Nope my grocery bill is about 300 bucks a month. I buy thirty days with of food. I buy a whole Chuck Roll and cut them into steaks, I buy three ten pound rolls of ground beef I eat a pound a day. I buy six five dozen eggs I eat 12 eggs a day. I buy butter and make ghee out of it to go with my coffee (yes I still drink coffee baby steps) no sugar or sugar substitutes and no heavy whipping cream.
Great job!
Thank you
I heard adding butter or milk to coffee hinders the effect of the caffeine, so I just drink it black.
The whole ribeye at $10.99 a pound is a good deal.
Yes, I thought so too. The last few times I've checked it was the same price as the sliced steaks -- $13.99.
@@Jaylwoodworth Check out ch Maria Emmerich vds on PSMF. This is where you eat low fat/high protein for a few days then back to high fat/moderate protein. This helps to get the scale moving. During PSMF days you eat lean meat such as turkey & chicken. It works.
I just bought a whole ribeye from my Costco and I paid $11.99 a pound. Your Costco has more meat selection compared to mine. I bought a good meat cutting knife and I cut my own steaks about 3/4 inch to 1 inch. If I buy the individual, I am looking at 3 steaks for $60. I cut up 11 steaks for $180.
That’s like half the price!
Yeah, I was about to recommend buying a whole steak "roast" and cutting yourself.
I like NY Strips, so I usually buy that whole and cut myself 1-1.5" thick steaks out of it.
Next time to Costco, I"m gonna ask the butcher for a Whole Chuck Roll....and butcher it up myself, the RUclips videos of that look dead simple to do.
I have my own chamber vac sealer and can section everything off to freeze.
Great energy, Jay. You look like you are really enjoying shopping for the healthiest bargains. Costco actually has very nice meat displayed.
Yes, these videos are actually a lot of fun to make!
Top sirloin cap is the best, otherwise known as the picahna. Cut into steaks and reverse sear.
Use your Crockpot for the stew meat it realy becomes tender.
G'day from Australia 🇦🇺 really enjoy your grocery hauls - keep em comin!🥩
Will do!
Check your local small grocery stores for weekly deals on meat. I can get on a rotating basis, ribeye 6.99 /lb, pork ribs 2.50 lb, shrimp 16-20 count 5.99 lb, etc on sale by shopping the local small stores. When the small stores don't have a sale going I'll just head to a big retailer that has that sort of everyday decent price like costco etc. I'm just saying that If you look around you might be surprised. My shopping style means that I can't just make up mind and go buy what I want that day and get the discount but that's fine as I get a big variety of things this way.
Thanks for the tip! Those are some great prices. I’d love to find ribeye for $6.99….
i always find myself spending less money on meat than sugary stuff
Hi Jay, I live in Colorado but am a native NYer, so always enjoy your east coast accent!
The house blend coffee is my current favorite and a great price! Also the Kirkland sausage are always in my freezer! I like the better than a Kirkland brats! 👍👏😄
The brats taste sweet to me. The Italian sausage has a trace of sugar as well, but still 0 grams carbs per serving.
Appreciate your shopping videos, thanks!
Glad you like them!
Jay Great video. I’m on day 47 of the carnivore lifestyle and down 21.4 lbs. Have never felt better and your video gave me so many great ideas for food and sticking to a budget. Thank you!!! 😊
You’re welcome!
Top sirloin cap is also known as Picanha - a very good choice for a fatty cut. You can BBQ it or just put them in the oven. Just have to cut them into steaks.
I’ve often had picanha in Brazilian restaurants. It’s a bit tough, but nice flavor.
I find the sirloin steak is a little “chewy” so I Sous vide it before grilling. One of my favorite meals.
@@JaylwoodworthThat's because they don't cut it against the grain at the braziian restaurants. Cut it against the grain and it's like butter
I love your content. You seem very honest. 😊😊😊
I really enjoy these shopping videos! Continue doing these if you can!
They’re fun to make, so I’ll be doing more in the future.
Good video Jay! Thanks.
I like buying the stew meat and searing it in an iron skillet. I eat it straight out the pan.
It's not too chewy that way?
Sounds good to me!
@@tonyfair487 some of the pieces are a little tough. I’ve found that once you cook them past medium-rare, it toughens up.
Always appreciate the good information!
Thanks!
Very useful! I’m glad you showed the prices. Good work.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video Jay, I loved your calm manner and very informative narration, also great to see the standard of food and its presentation in the USA. I have subbed and I wish you lots of luck with your channel.
Thanks so much for joining!
Great video. We eat a lot of fresh ground chuck. We get 60lbs for 263 including tax. Add eggs, butter, heavy cream, some cheese and our monthly food bill is aprox $450-$500 for 2 people on carnivore. We throw in a couple of ribeyes in every week as well. We buy several whole ribeyes when they are on sale for 6.88/lb Two to three times a year.
I hope they have a sale like that here in Connecticut!
Please don't laugh 🙏 for the last month I spend 22,5€ for grass fed beef bones from the local butcher( 15kg of huge joints,), cooked 30 L of thick and fatty bonebroth( using my 9,4 L InstantPot), freeze in in 1L containers, bought 100 eggs from the farmers marke(24,5€)t.
As a result, I have 30 meals for my OMAD plus 1L of pure beef tallow (as a result of pressure cooking), I'm using it to fry my eggs and also put it in my bulletproof coffee .
Spend less than 50€ for whole months. Im on a healing GAPS protocol, invented by Natasha Campbell McBride( I strongly advise to get and study both editions of GAPS, for everyone who are suffering from chronicle disease, including autoimmune 🙏🙏🙏)
Inexpensive and healthy - win win. Has the diet been helping?
@Jaylwoodworth ohhh yes!!! I'm trying to heal my stomach ( was damaged by daily use for 13,5 years Omeprasol 20 mg). My heartburn eas dissappear after a week on a bonebroth ( salt and one spoon of handmade fermented sour cream -a natural probiotic). It's a miracle, thanks to GAPS books 🙏.
And on top of all healing it is extremely cheap and affordable for literally everyone and so easy- I just stop going to the supermarket! I don't need anything from that place, full of crap. It's kind of freedom, I wish I had discovered before in my life 🙏🙌
Food freedom is an awesome thing! I find this lifestyle much much easier than my old omnivore lifestyle!
Thanks for the video. Very informative 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Beef top sirloin is one of my favorites, definitely recommend
Good Afternoon Jay ❤
I agree that whole Ribeye probably would’ve took care of me for at least 10 days. I enjoyed your trip. Thanks for the content and your time.
I may get a couple of those whole ribeyes next time I shop at Costco. Would be good to try lion diet for a couple of weeks eating only ribeye. If I do that I’ll make a video about it. Thanks for the comment.
That sirloin cap is picanha~ absolutely wonderful, very tender when cooked hot & fast, cut across the grain. The fat cap is what really shines w/picanha, adds so much flavor.
This was a great haul video Jay~ well done, & thanks for sharing.=)
*Almost forgot, wanted to share another way we same money on our grocery bill. We use a Sam's Club mastercard to pay for everything in our daily life, just as we would use our regular debit card. We get a percentage of cash back rewards to use however we want in store, online, or simply cash out at the customer service counter. Costco offers the same, I'm almost certain. We usually end up with about $300~ $500 a year passive income, so to speak, which we then can spend on meat in bulk at the Sam's club near us~ anywhere in the country. That's a whole lot of free meat, & it's super easy at that. We just applied for it right at the customer service counter, & away we went. We have never been credit card people, like to pay cash, but being able to use this one like cash & make it work for us is another matter entirely. We just pay it off online every time we use it, so we are never charged any interest.
Thanks for the credit card tip. I have the Costco credit card, and the $300-$500 check sure is nice!
I bought the picanha the other day, and will do a video on cutting and cooking it soon. Keep an eye out for it!
I am going to try the grass fed beef slices. Thank you.
The top sirloin cap is so good.. Cut it into 1" steaks and grill them.. You'll be amazed how good they are..!
Yes, delicious!
Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 Jay
Hello!
I always buy the lamb chops! Then I marinate it for Shish K Bob! Love it!
Theres a meat expert that says that when buying meat (beef) at Costco, its way cheaper to buy the large un cut portions and spend some time at home cutting the meat!
At my Costco the large uncut portions are usually the same price per pound as the ones that are cut up, but the big uncut ribeye was actually cheaper last week. I’ll try that next time I’m there.
Good job on the weight loss man. I stopped drinking beer and lost 45 lbs to 180. Miss the beer, not the weight:)
I used to be able to stop beer and lose 40 lbs quick. But once I hit 50 that didn’t work anymore. The carnivore diet is doing the trick now….
Yum !! Loven those steaks. Just had me a ribeye grass feed, grass finish steak. Thanks 4 sharing Jay. Cheers !!😎
They do look delicious!
Nice Costco haul 👍. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy. 🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖
Thanks for coming
Wife and I aren't carnivore diet but we do tend to pick up and stash a bunch of meat usually in one big go every few months. If you can find a US Chef Store near you (for in the states) or even a Restaurant supply store that supplies meat/food as well as everything else that sells to the public you can certainly help your budget there as well.
I’d love to find a store like that in Connecticut. Anyone know of one?
Hey Jay! Glad to see ya!
Thanks for the comment!
@@Jaylwoodworth you’re welcome and hope all is well!
This was very interesting.
Thanks!
Interesting. Thank you for sharing. Craig
Thanks for commenting!
The Polish Sausage is great at Costco
Nice Costco. Only fresh veg and fruit in our walk-in cooler. Eggs behind a glass door. I buy the beef pot roast because I can't cook mine as tender. Good job.
Thanks!
After doing carnivore for 90 days hubby and i doing “carnivore-ish” right now. I discovered the lam loin chops at Costco. They are amazing when fried in a cast iron pan.
Keep it up!
my husband really liked their loin lamb chops -- and he likes their rack of lamb too
I'm looking forward to trying them. Maybe tonight!
I like the healthier eggs at Frys for $7.99/18 pack and on the first Wednesday of each month get 10% off🥳HAPPY EGGS😃
Great haul! I got lots of 80/20 burger today at Safeway for $2.97#! My great haul today!
That’s a great price for burger!
The reason for the increase in coffee price is because you are buying organic.At that point and you should always drink organic coffee😮... Coffee is extremely heavily sprayed with pesticides and herbicides go organic.
Wish I could afford it 😕
Nice to see the ribeye primal is the same price in the lower 48 as here in Alaska 😅. I get the pre-formed burger patties for breakfast, but I might pick up some of that pork belly on my next trip to toss in the air fryer (if my husband lets me).
It’s delicious!
Great vid!
Thanks!
Those thick pork chops are a staple for us. And the Wagyu ground beef is a really good deal in the three-packs. Better meat with more quality fat content.
Hi Jay. Nice video! Your supermarkets are so different from ours here, lots of choice in good foods, but even more choice in junk 😀. Don't save money when it comes to organic vs. non-organic coffee is my recommendation, on a day by day basis coffee is relatively inexpensive. Have a look at a recent video from Sean Omara on this. Cheers!
Will do. Thanks for the comment!
It appears that you’re shopping just for your own consumption. I find that I am around $10-15/day for myself, so similar to you and definitely less than I was spending before carnivore.
Very helpful video. Thanks!
Yep, just for myself. And it’s less than before I started carnivore for sure.
Love your videos. Just found you today.
I like the grocery haul videos but I'd like to see how you divide things up and to know if you batch-cook or exactly what you do when you put things away.
Thanks
I’ll do that at the end of my next shopping g trip video.
Get a chuck roll in a box 50 to 60 lb for 419lb for 290.00 cut your own steaks
I grab the sausage to it comes in handy if im still hungry one normally does me good
Me too, great for random cravings!
Top Sirloin Cap is also called Picanha! Cut into 1 ½" steaks and cook to med rare with salt only! You can also leave it whole and smoke it to med rare. Be sure to score the fat cap
Thanks for the tips!
Get the whole ribeye and cut your own steaks. Works great and with everything else you do they’ll last you a couple months. Also buy your ground beef in the 10lb chubs and you can usually get a better price. Also, Walmart, as much as I hate Walmart, has a 5doz box of eggs and is generally less than $2 a dozen.
the NY strips were gigantic and could have cut in half for 8 servings and stew meat is just cut up chuck roast just so ya know.We are finally getting a costco in Buffalo NY in a year or 2 and I cant wait since they have so many better options than Sams club or BJ's
Oh I’ll eat one of those steaks in one sitting! Glad to hear you’re getting a Costco in buffalo - I’m surprised they don’t have one there already…..
I so agree with you! I am on the Lion diet and buy ruminant meat. I, too am on a budget but can afford the meat as I have cut out on all condiments and ingredients and beverages in general 👍🏻👍🏻
Exactly!!
Awesome budgeting ❤️👏👏💪🥩🥚🥓✝️❤️
I live in Northeast Nebraska and shop mostly at a privately owned butcher shop in an abutting state city. 85% hamburger is $2.99. Beef chuck clod or roll for $4.99 . these are primals that weigh 20+ lbs and I cut the entire thing into steaks. Some are very good and some are tough but the price is right. Bone in pork shoulder is $1.59 and 10 lb bags of chicken hind quarters are 69 cents a lb. Eggs are the last item and last week we paid $1.46. I do also eat about 1 celery bunch a week. I easily eat for about $5 per day. I am not sure I have even seen a costco store. I know the closest one is about 120 miles away
Those are great prices, things are more expensive in the northeast. It’d nice to be able to eat for $150 per month!
@@Jaylwoodworth I thought you were doing pretty good with your shopping also. It is nice to see someone that doesn't eat ribeye every meal I feel I save quite a bit by cutting a lot of my own. I have purchased the full rib eye loin for around $8, but that is a splurge for me
Sirloin cap steaks are the best. They are the picanha cut. I smoke mine low for about an hour until medium 115 degrees and and then sear them off u til they get to 120-125. So good - can’t beat the price. I keep them on deck at all times
Several viewers have made the same comment. I’m going to pick some up next week and give them a try.
I just bought some at Costco this week. I cut them into steak bites and cooked them in the air fryer @400° for six minutes, flipping them halfway. They were so good! Ate the leftovers cold for lunch the next day. Easy and delicious.
Get you a choice brisket, turn it into burger, and get full Primal's to cut up yourself and you are saving money.
Yes I buy the cheaper hamburger in the 2 pound package and I just brought them both up and then when I come home from work and I’m hungry I just heated up in the microwave and throw an egg on top and there you go. It fills me up. Oh, I add butter to it toogives me more fat and then you can add bacon crumbles to the top of it too. If you want I found out that I had to have more fat in my diet people think I’m crazy but for me.❤
I'm like that with the fat too. I don't do well with a high protein diet.
I pull out food for just three meals from the freezer. Never fails. It will take over a week to eat it. I am eating less and sometimes my husband will cook. But I do know that I spend alot less for groceries than I used to do!
I’m noticing the same thing. I’m just not eating as much as I used to. I got 5 servings out of one of my chuck roasts when I thought I’d only get 3. Gotta love the savings $$
Sirloin, you can cut into steaks. They just don’t typically have much fat or marbling so you’d need to add some butter to the meal.
Thanks for the comment!
May want to try ground turkey, turkey legs, and/or salmon.
I am new to your channel and just stumbled across this video. Your reports on weight loss are impressive! Did you exercise or just change diet? Thanks
Mostly just diet., although I’m hiking now much more than I was before the diet.
⭐⭐⭐I love how you budget and spread the word that wise shopping is affordable‼Yes, $14.99/lb is high for Rib Steak….look for sales…I bought Rib Eye for $8.99/lb ten days ago at Ontario, 🇨🇦Metro grocers‼
🇨🇦Organic shoulder pork chops are $10/lb at Metro they used to go on sale for $2.99/lb at metro when first introduced…earlier this year…now they are never lower than $4.49/lb. When on sale‼
Bottom line, know your prices especially sale prices‼
Thank you for calling out the 🇺🇸💲prices💲🇺🇸‼
Gladys🇨🇦Toronto🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦
It's important to be a smart shopper. Many of us just buy our weekly groceries mindlessly, and end up with a whole bunch of expensive junk food.....
@@Jaylwoodworth Hey, Jay, read the grocery flyers online…and shop at the store that has the meat specials you really want‼I love that you call out your 🇺🇸Prices. Because I want to compare🇺🇸🇨🇦‼
If you buy those big pieces of meat you simply cut into steaks then grill. You can wrap and freeze rest. Same for those pork loin chops. Buy long pork loin roll. Grill it or chop into loin chops then grill. Can save you money
Great tip!
Jerry Jerry Jerry good job being disciplined buddy!
Thanks!
I usually buy the rib roast and slice my own steaks with it
I hope you're getting enough Fiber with all that protein, I learned that the hard way!
Top sirloin cap is what we get all the time,a little work having to cut it up into steaks but it’s really good and soft
Thanks for the tip!
You said in your video you go out to dinner a couple times a week,if you go to a Brazilian restaurant they’ll have the top sirloin cap should try it first, think you’ll enjoy it, it’s actually called picanha,
Actually I often stop at a Brazilian place near my house - lots of Brazilians in CT where I live. It’s like a big salad bar with barbecued meat. they sell the food by the pound, Brazilian style. I’ve eaten a ton of picanha, but never realized that top sirloin cap was the English name. Now that I think about it, they do say sirloin for picanha. And top sirloin for a cut that I like even better, called alcatra in Portuguese.
My only gripe about Brazilian cooking is it’s almost impossible to get my meat cooked rare. Even getting meat cooked Medium is difficult. Most of the time its cooked to a crisp….not s hint of pink left.
Love Brazilian restaurants, usually everyone’s gripe is to much salt😂😂
I’ve become a budget hound and price shopper, 8 bucks a lb is about how high I’ll go for ribeye especially choice and select. I wait for last day markdowns. I’m waiting for a bunch of rib roasts to go on sale at my local grocer!
I’d love to find ribeyes at that price here in Connecticut. $10.99 is the cheapest I’ve seen them here.
Have you ever tried the wild-caught canned salmon from Costco? It’s a good price & nice carnivore/keto pantry protein to have on hand. We shop at both Costco & Sam’s Club, but we find better meat deals at Sam’s Club. Costco has a good selection of wild-caught seafood though.
Thanks for the tip on the canned salmon. I get the frozen wild sockeye there, but never tried the canned salmon. How do you cook it?
I believe that top sirloin cap is another name for Picanha. It's fabulous!!! So flavorful and fatty. I'd stock up on those if you can! I score the fat and roast it in the oven. It reminds me of prime rib. 🤤
Yes, Picanha is the Portuguese / Brazilian name for it and it is an excellent cut. I’ve had it many times in Brazil. I didn’t realize it was the same thing till you and another commenter pointed it out!
@@Jaylwoodworth That's funny, because I've only seen it under the Brazilian name at Walmart... I had to double check my Google! I'd stock up on those for sure 😋
I buy their jumbo frozen shrimp too. Not bad. I like to know how you cook the loin. How does it taste ?
I melted some ghee in my frying pan and then the loin and some salt. Cooked to medium rare. They were delicious!
I eat those lamb chops about 5 days a week now and save the bone for bone broth :) they are now my fav meat :)
Great idea. I have some bones in the freezer, so will make bone broth once the lamb bones are available.
I buy the pork loin and cut it into chops..cheaper than buying cut.
Thanks for the tip!
Sirloin great taste
Just get a 1/2 cow and put it in your freezer.... we did it for $4.99/lb and that includes all kinds of steaks.
Or some places offer quarters that’s what I order for a family of 3 and it’s way more that enough
Top sirloin cap is also called piconia in Brazil. Watch Guga Foods he has lots of videos to make the good piconia on a grill.
Thanks for the tips!
Gyro is pronounced "Year" "O" love your channel!
Funny, I lived in Brooklyn, NY for years, and ordered lots of gyros. We always pronounced it like eye. Must be a regional thing - like cawfee and longhuyland.
hardcore! funny how everyone does carnivore a bit different.
Can you show a video of what you eat for breakfast and then dinner please or if you have made one let me know
I have not made one. It’s a great idea - I’ll make one like this in the next couple of weeks.
The Kirkland coffee is made by Starbucks❤
It’s all conventional inflammatory raised meats. Loads of gmo s and antibiotics. If one can afford go grass fed and finished or pastures pork
I would definitely go grass fed if I could, but I’m approaching retirement and that’s outside of my budget right now….
I saw you didn’t get stew meat anyway but for future reference, I’ve read that, with stew meat, you don’t always know what cuts are in the package so all the pieces might not cook the same. When feasible, it’s better to get a roast and cut it up yourself so that you know just what’s going into your stew.
Thanks for the tip!
If you want to get the best bang for your buck & you are not afraid of cutting up your own meat, go to the butcher there at Costco & ask for a Chuck Roll. This is a sub-primal cut from the shoulder & upper back, straight from the cow. It is what Costco cuts up to put in the cases. 2 months ago we got one for $5.69 per pound & it was 28 pounds. $159.32 total. This month they had a special for $4.19 per pound & we got a 27 lb. $113.13 Total. Following the Butcher Wizard's RUclips video, we cut it up, vacuum sealed it & froze the majority of it. If you were to buy all of the meat you get from the Chuck Roll it would cost you between $550-$600. We got 6 Chuck roasts, 7 chuck eye steaks (depending on how thick you cut them), 7 Denver steaks, about 5-6 lbs of stew meat, & we ground up the trimmings, fat & cuts to make about 6-7 lbs of hamburger meat (got a $40 grinder that attaches to my KitchenAid Mixer). Costco also has chest & a small upright freezer for $199 each. This has helped immensely with out carnivore journey.
Thanks for all these details.one of those chuck rolls would keep me going for a month! I’ll have to check into them next time I’m in Costco.
First of all, I am a Costco member and I really do like Costco but, I also shop at Stater Brother in California. The meat is cheaper and of better quality.
I don’t think we have Stater Brother here in CT
I must live in a good area ...cause COSCO / SAM club meat's are expensive
With the kabobs I bet the weight of the onions was the bulk of the food
Yes, most likely. It’s the cheaper ingredient.
Nearly every sausage/hotdogs have some type of sugar in them.
I love sausage but don't eat it because it mostly has sugar in it I also look for bacon without sugar in it. I've been carnivore for a year and 3 months loving it not going back.
how do you cook the pork belly?
I slice it into 1/3” thick strips and cook it like bacon
Dude I think I would miss onions the most during carnivore
Thanks jay Costco has excellent deals on stakes only online i got 20 6 ounce usda CHOISE Angus Sirloin steaks in Individual freezer packs delivered to my house for only $149.99
That’s a great idea!
@@Jaylwoodworth thanks jay yes costco has some great deals
I stopped looking at the Nutritional facts on the packaging I always look at the ingredients list.
Yes, the ingredient list is definitely more important.
Hi Jay, did you get the horrible "loose skin" on the Carnivore diet? Or did this way of eating prevent the "loose skin"?
That’s actually a question I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, and one that I’m going to do a video on. I lost 50 lbs in the first 3 months, and then another 20 pounds in the next 3 months. And yes, I noticed some loose skin at 70 pounds, especially under my chin and around my throat. It kind of freaked me out to be honest.
Another 4 months have passed, and I’ve plateaued. I weigh about the same as I did 4 months ago. Thankfully my skin has tightened up again. And now I’m very motivated to lose another 50 lbs.
But I think my plateau has been at least partly psychologically based, and is related to not feeling good about that loose skin.
Maybe it’s best not to lose the weight quite so quickly. We’ll see what happens with the next 50 pounds. To be honest, better some loose skin than 50 extra pounds…..
@@Jaylwoodworth - When I was in my 50's I lost a lot of weight doing the Fasting Diet and yes, I had loose skin on my underarms. But,
after a long while, it all disappeared. YEAH!
IMO, if a person sticks to whatever diet they chose to be on, avoiding wheat & grains, eventually our bodies will suck up the loose skin during the Fasting 14-18 hour Spring Cleaning window.
IMO, that window of NO FOOD time, gives the body a chance to clean up & repair any and all damage & then the body goes into RESTORE MODE.
I like your thinking about not dumping a heavy weight loss at one time. Much harder to suck up to much loose skin, I think.
IMO, Focus on giving your body time to do its Spring Cleaning & Repairs, by incorporating Fasting time window of at least 16-18 hours.
Good Luck to us all.
Great tips, thanks!

In case you're not familiar with Fasting Windows, eat your last meal of the day before 8pm, then start counting the 14-18 hours so that you know when to eat your next meal. Most of that time is while you sleep.
Ive literally never seen any ribeye at my costco in canada.
Add fish like canned sardines to your diet.
