How To Get Started on a Carnivore Diet (Shawn Baker) 

Congratulations on taking your life back, I am truly happy for you! I wish you the best on your continued success!

@@WhatsNextAmy thank you so much

Yaaaaaaaay 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 so proud of your efforts!!! Great job 👏🏻 ❤

Wow that's amazing. Happy for you!

@TheCarnivoreCure congratulations so tell us what you do ??

Probably a nice looking "little old lady" lol 😜 glad to hear you're doing well ❤

I'm 3 weeks into it and I feel so bored and depressed. The carnivore diet bores me to no end and none of it satisfies me. I've actually stepped eating almost all together because it became nauseating to me. It's 5:30pm and all I've eaten today is one boiled egg and a piece of cheese because I can't bear to look at another steak or butter stick or any of it. Did you ever feel this way or was it love at first try

@@totallyrufusno you are not alone. I’ve only been on it a week. I’m not a big meat eater either but I’m gonna stay the course for 30 to 90 days the best I can and then see how it goes.

​@@totallyrufus you don't have to go full carnivore, at least not right away. Go ketovore first. For example, add a salad once a day, only lettuce, cucumber and vinegar, eat chicken sometimes, fish, mix it up, just always keep the carbs under 20 grams. Gradually transition to stricter carnivore. You might not even feel like you have to.

Just try low carb to start with. I started by having half the carbs. If I wanted potatoes, I'd have half the usual and top up with more protein and fat. Also, add spices. Because they are strong, you need small amounts to make food more exciting. I had to start this way due to addiction. If I picked up two jars of something in the supermarket, the lower carb version is the one I chose. Ease into it and keep the flavour at a level you can handle. Keto might be best for you. Find what you enjoy. No doubt the lowering of carbs is the most important thing. I felt better in a week just lowering carbs.

How long did it take to not deal with gerd anymore? What exactly do you eat on carnivore? I'm about to turn 40 and have dealt with gerd since I was a teenager. I tried ACV but it doesn't seem to really help. I'm very interested in the carnivore diet

@PC-yp5dl Quite literally, it was no more than a week to ten days. I've been strictly carnivore for a little over 6 months now. Not one bout of gerd, reflux or even heartburn or indigestion. This diet has improved my quality of life tremendously! ✌️😎

@@Crownd1_ wow, that's truly amazing! I must try this! Can you tell me exactly what you eat? And congratulations on your success!

@PC-yp5dl Beef, butter, bacon and eggs, with some fish thrown in every now and then, along with some chicken. I drink strictly water. I also fast 18/6. I don't eat before 11am or after 5pm.

@@Crownd1_ ok that sounds great. I also do intermittent fasting, I've been trying to do 21:3, but with strictly carnivore I may increase the eating window. Alright thank you so much for the info. I will definitely be trying this out ASAP.

Nice!

Did you get sick when you first started cutting out sugar and carbs?

@@bryanpottorff3392 Not at all

​@@bryanpottorff3392alot of people do, it does pass though

Same here!!!! Carbs, sugar, and processed food is awful for everyone!!! I’ve been on/off Atkins for 23 years and trying full carnivore for three days now and feel even better!!!!!

Nothing like a little outside skepticism for motivation! Nice job!👍

Tell me I can’t… then I KNOW I CAN!!!! Congrats to you!!! 🏆🏆🏆

You lost 40lbs in 2 weeks Jamal? 👀

Good stuff!!

@@ChappelleShowPeople with extreme amount of weight tend to lose weight faster

​@@cockroachvand of course they got more weight to lose. So it make sense.

Stop eating carbs for one year and your weight will probably drop in half. The first couple weeks will be difficult but I’ve never felt healthier on carnivore and I’ve tried every diet you can think of

Dairy daily.... FOR LIFE!

Good job! I am now experimenting with dairy, and just the short while I stopped cheese but did continue butter, I felt better. Now ready to add a little back and see how I feel!! Best of luck to your friend!! Carnivore has greatly improved my life!! 😀🤗🙏

@@AlvinKazudoesn’t work for everyone

@@Kwildcat13 I pity those poor souls..... and most if not all of them are eating supermarket dairy, which therein lies their problem.

@@AlvinKazuI’m all about raw milk and never had an issue with it. When I used to drink grocery store milk it tore up my gut and I was constantly bloated. Amen for raw milk and living near a farm

I'm 3 weeks into it and I feel so bored and depressed. The carnivore diet bores me to no end and none of it satisfies me.

Did you ever feel this way or was it love at first try?

@@totallyrufus Thanks for the question. I guess at some level certain things bothered me at one point or another. I am over a year into it at this point. Looking back, those first several weeks were rough for a few reasons. Firstly, you're reducing your options by 90%. I eat animal based foods; anything from animals is an option. I started with eliminating everything but meat. I did that for around a month. Once I felt like my system was clear of oxylates and all the rest, I added eggs, some dairy, fish, etc. I found that pork was not good for me. I didn't feel well after eating it and it was never satisfying. I guess my mindset changed very quickly regarding what I viewed as real food. 90 days into it and I felt super human. And now, I cannot imagine going back to eating how I did before. I eat at least 1.5 lbs of beef a day, sometimes 2 lbs. I think over time my taste buds changed so that a very simple seasoning like salt really became what I craved. I use to cook all types of foods, Mediterranean and the like. I loved flavors and it really was about the experience of the food. But... What I learned, for me personally, I had to remove carbs completely out of the picture. Once I became fat adapted, meaning my body switched fuel sources, my entire life changed from that point forward. It's tough to get started on this journey, I think everyone who reads this struggled with something up front. But what I will tell you, it is worth it. Figure out what your 'why' is. What's driving you to do this? What are you wanting to change about yourself? For me, I wanted to be the best version of myself. I believe without any doubt that this is how I am going to achieve that. Listen to your body. The longer you do this the more you'll know what is and is not working. Commit to 90 days. That will be where you see huge changes in your entire self, physically, mentally and emotionally. I can't say enough about Dr Chaffee, Dr Berry and a few others. Listening to what they have to say and putting it to a test is worth the rest of your life. I promise. All the best to you for whatever journey you're on!

I use rose petal tea to stop any sugar cravinga, the smell is sweet. Im on day 3.

Report back on your results. Go get em!

Perfect! After 10 months on mine my husband has taken on the carnivore diet too!

I'm a 4 year carnivore and menopause was a breeze! As many of the videos focus on men, here's a few things I learned on the way. After 50 years of being conditioned to watch what I ate and that fat was bad, I seriously underate when I started and lost way too much weight (I was an OK weight to begin with!). Then I wasn't eating enough fat. Then I got leg cramps because my electrolyte balance was off. OMAD didn't work for me, I was eating too much in one sitting, which was uncomfortable and almost certainly lead to gluconeogenesis. It was a process of experimentation and finding more carnivore women out there and not men as we ARE different in how we respond, especially with regards to fasting. Now I eat twice a day, 95% carnivore, really fatty meat (my butcher makes me 70:30 meat:fat mince in bulk so it works out cheaper than the supermarket), butter, eggs and 'condiments' such as avocado, nuts and home made sauerkraut. I do eat nose to tail, so when I slow cook things like beef cheeks, I'll reduce the liquid to a thick sauce and have pumpkin mash made with huge amounts of butter to 'soak' up that amazing liquid goodness. I eat every cut of meat (ruminant animals only, many beef) and experiment with different ways of cooking it. This is really fun when you look at it as a lifestyle, not a 'diet'. This isn't about sticking religiously to a diet, this is about learning to eat intuitively. It's an amazing ride and my body and blood tests show it really is the proper human diet. Once your hubby understanding he can eat as much meat, butter and eggs as he likes and still get a 6 pack, he'lll get on board.......... Enjoy x

@@sportysbusinessI agree except you can’t eat as much as you want .. cal do still matter

@@Kwildcat13 Calories are a measure of energy in a lab, not how your body uses food. Once you eliminate carb cravings, your body will start to heal and relearn the chemical signals for satiety and hunger. Eat until you're full, then stop. No counting calories. When eating meat, it's easy to stop when you're full, that's why I wrote that you can eat as much as you like. It's impossible to do that when eating carbs. I eat way more now (on a 'calorie' basis) than I did before, yet have to force myself to eat sometimes so I don't lose any more weight.

Hey, how is it going for you?

How much exercise are you doing ? Also, What is the food and the amount you are eating ? I am fascinated by your 52 pounds loss in 11 weeks. Please tell me more, thanks :-)

Hey how is it going? just started today :)

Actuality started this due to some unforeseen issues. Doing good! Lost 3 lbs. and feeling motivated. Trying to figure out what I need to eat to not be hungry. Started a 16:8 fasting as well. Much success to ya!!@@hbreazy

Do it! You won't regret it.

I’m on day 2 right now. Not trying to lose weight but my health has been going downhill fast from a lifetime of carb eating. Did y’all do it gradually or jump right in?

I want to do that, can u help with a guide on what to eat in a week please

@@mariajoseare Meat.

That's what scares me. I do not want to lose anymore weight. I was keto for a bit over 3 months and am moving towards carnivore. My reasons are for my autoimmune disorders. However in the 3 in a half months on keto I went from size 9 sometimes 11 jeans and I am now in 5/3.Size 3 is to small. I am 5 foot and now weight 110. I work in a restaurant so the tables I wait on all day everyday say " are you losing weight ". My friends and co workers are saying that I am getting so tiny I look like a kid.My mom is convinced I am starving myself. I am not skin and bone.I have gotten my curvy figure back that I had in high school. I honestly do not want to lose anymore weight and am sick of people making such a big deal about my weight loss. So if I do straight carnivore I'm afraid I'll drop to 80 pounds

All the best wishes to you!!

Wait…..he’s a horse?! I knew it.

Haha- funny

Any suggestions on how to get adapted to chewing the fat? Sounds silly but I didn't eat a lot of meat growing up (mom was poor and fed me beans and cornbread!). I almost have to just swallow it with water to get it down.

😂😂😂😂

Update scotbro?

Glad to hear it, it can be stressful...i just started having big patches of hair fall out I mean 50 cent piece sizes. 3 of them so hopefully this helps me too. I know treatments differentiate per individual. How long did it take after going carnivore?

Wow that’s awesome mate, hope you are still going strong!

I'm the same way. No cheat days. I can't be moderate.

The solution would be to eat more meat, especially with a lot of fat. That way your kill 2 birds in 1 shot: First fat makes your satiated so you don't get cravings. Second you're less likely to have diarrhea due to excess protein. Conclusion: more fats

@@highcollectoractually more fat at the beginning while some people still have horrible diarrhea isn’t the best idea. Many people are not fat adapted and that takes time. I’d say in the beginning eat more protein and then slowly add more fat. Preferably cold fats, or start taking ox bile until one gets fat adapted

You can take supplements to digest the fat until the body adjusts. And a useful tip is to not drink water during the meal, maybe minimum 30 minutes before and after, specially if you have low stomach acid.

Hey, how is it going for you?

All the “scientific” literature is bought and paid for by big pharma .

Started Keto and Baby Steps. Getting Better All The Time!

Congrats!!!

Congratulations!! Yes. I think that y’all both got healthier and God blessed you. Wow. By the way, my parents were in their 40’s too. I’m sure you’re concerned. You’ll be great!

He'd be showing you all the fruit and candy bars 😅

How are you getting on ?!

You don’t have to give up coffee.

You know there’s carbs in vegetables right?

@bassassgrass9159 ya it clicked after I posted it. But I only eat about 10% vegetables I'm not concerned to be honest I eat them less and less but thanks for letting me know anyway 👍

Waaaales

It is mental

Drink RAW cow milk.

If you arent already doing keto dont jump to carnivore right away. Slowly take away carbs and adding more fats gradually then cut veggies

@@jonathoncatterson8901 Thanks for the tip

Stop drinking.🥰

No more alcohol buddy

☺️👌🏻 yes it does! Love the carnivore diet!

I’m glad to hear that as I’ve been on it strictly for 6 weeks and no weight loss yet

@@terri4337 are you consuming any dairy? If so try to cut it out for now to make sure it is not stalling you as it does for some. ☺️

@@JennifertxCarnivore no no dairy or cheese. Just butter

Your leaning and building muscle

no fish? do you take any supplements?

@@zygis4000 *Sorry, forgot to mention. I do eat fish. I eat mackerel every day. For Omega-3 and the like. I don't eat predator fish that have a build up of Mercury. I also take a Magnesium Glycinate supplement. Hope that helps*

Awesome. Keep going!!!

@@TheCarnivoreCrusader we are need get hubby healthy for his health issues I am tired of doctors keep giving him drugs that don’t do nothing.

@@tinacox9526 exactly. When you hear about the carnivore diet, it sounds wrong because of all the lies we’ve been told over the years. It is the easiest diet I’ve ever done because it’s food I love to eat.

@@TheCarnivoreCrusader we are enjoying so far like to eat too today is are fish day salmon yum

@@tinacox9526 yes!! Salmon is awesome.
