hey guys welcome back to my channel if you're new here my name is kait i'm a health coach and i post
videos on a high fat nutrient dense way of eating if you like this video please give it a thumbs up
feel free to share and make sure to subscribe and make sure to follow me on instagram twitter
and facebook where i share new posts every single day the carnivore diet is a way of eating where
you eat only meat and animal products and while this way of eating might sound counter-intuitive
to everything you have ever heard about nutrition this diet can actually improve your health in many
ways and no red meat is not unhealthy it's not going to cause you to get heart disease or colon
cancer this is a myth some of the benefits of the carnivore diet include lower inflammation fewer
digestive problems and rapid weight loss without feeling deprived and this is just scratching the
surface at the many ways the carnivore diet can be used to improve your health now you might be
wondering what exactly should i be eating on the carnivore diet what are the best foods to
include to get results and that is exactly what we are going to talk about today number seven
is steak we are going to be starting off talking about the most obvious carnivore diet food steak
now before i get into why this is a staple on the carnivore diet i just want to say that you do not
have to eat only steak this is a misconception yes there is a variation of the carnivore diet
which includes only red meat and no chicken no pork no eggs etc but not everyone has to do the
diet this way with that being said there is a good reason why steak is such a carnivore diet favorite
red meat is super nutritious and depending on the cut contains a lot of healthy fat this is why rib
eyes or scotch fillets as they are referred to in some countries are so popular these are steaks
that contain a lot of fat and on a carnivore diet you really want to make sure that you're consuming
generous amounts of fat because this diet is extremely low in carbohydrates your body
is going to be relying on fat for energy if you are eating leaner cuts of beef or any carnivore
diet food for that matter you will have to make sure that you're adding enough additional fat
but for steaks like ribeye and scotch fillet they already come with a lot of fat the other reason
that beef is favored over chicken and pork is because it is more nutritious in general
and lower in omega-6 fatty acids both omega-6 and omega-3 are essential we need to get them
through diet but for optimal health we need to be consuming them in balanced amounts the problem
is that modern diets contain way more omega-6 than omega-3 and this can lead to inflammation
because cattle are ruminant animals even if they are raised conventionally and finished
on grains they are still relatively low in omega-6 whereas conventional chicken and pork are higher
like i said before this does not mean you have to eat only beef though the number one source of
omega-6 in our diets by a landslide is vegetable oils such as canola corn and soybean oil so if
you cut these out of your diet you have already reduced your intake of omega-6s significantly
but beef should be the meat that you favor most number six bone broth this is obviously
not a food but a drink but i still thought it was really important to include in this video
bone broth made from simmering bones in water for an extended period of time
is rich in amino acids collagen and electrolytes electrolytes are really important on the carnivore
diet or on any low carb diet for that matter when we eat less carbs our body retains less water and
less electrolytes as well and if you are low in electrolytes you might experience headaches
muscle cramps heart palpitations and more drinking one to two cups of bone broth per day can help to
ensure that you are getting adequate amounts and not to mention that bone broth is a great way
to add variety to the carnivore diet you can drink it from a mug or you can use it in cooking or to
create soup one of my favorite super easy methods of cooking is to add bone broth to my slow cooker
with a tougher cut of meat beef cheeks and bone broth in the slow cooker is absolutely delicious
number five is eggs eggs and specifically egg yolks are a great addition to the carnivore
diet this doesn't have to be chicken eggs some people are a bit sensitive to chicken
eggs and to the whites but you can also consume duck eggs or others as well these make up for
some of the nutrients beef lacks like vitamin k2 folate and choline and another underrated
part of the egg is the eggshells which are a fantastic source of calcium you can boil them
dry them and grind them up into a fine powder to sprinkle them on your food because eggshells
are 40 calcium by weight you only really need a pinch to get a good dose of calcium number four
fatty fish cold water oily fatty fish are another food that you should include on the carnivore diet
this is honestly the best source of omega-3s and it is very accessible fresh wild salmon is a good
choice if you can find it but otherwise tinned mackerel sardines and herring are also great if
you are concerned about inflammation upping your omega-3 in your diet can be extremely beneficial
and if you are not big on the taste of fish cod liver or krill oil is worth considering if the
oil you are taking is high quality and hasn't gone off there should be next to no smell and no taste
the other option here is salmon roe which is a bit pricey but also very nutritious number three organ
meats now when i say organ meats i am referring mainly to liver and beef liver specifically
this is really the ultimate superfood with so much nutrition however other organ meats such as heart
kidney and spleen can be very nutritious as well but back to beef liver it is an amazing if not
the best source of vitamin k2 folate copper zinc and actually contains a decent amount of vitamin c
all it takes to get a huge nutrient dose is to eat beef liver one to two times per week or the other
option is to take a beef liver supplement if you aren't a big fan of the taste this is personally
my preferred method most of the time honestly it's just so much easier than trying to cook liver so
that it's palatable or trying to hide it in your food taking six capsules per day is the equivalent
of a very small serve of liver grassland nutrition is my favorite brand the company was founded and
is run by a couple who are retired farmers they grew up eating beef liver regularly in denmark
and when they moved to australia realized that the people here are missing out on the benefits
they wanted to help make it more accessible in western countries and so they created these
capsules i will link to their website in the description box down below with my promo code
they shipped to australia the us canada and several other countries and actually let me know
down below if you are a fan of the taste of liver i know people are very split on this some people
love it and some people hate it but i'm curious to hear how you guys feel about it number two
lamb now i always say this but i feel like lamb is underrated on the carnivore diet like cattle sheep
are also ruminant animals meaning that the two types of meat are very similar nutrition wise lamb
is also very fatty which as we spoke about earlier is important on a carnivore diet some people refer
to lamb as lamb salmon because of its favorable ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 although i will
say that the total amount of omega-3 and lamb is still much lower than salmon and other fatty fish
but mixing lamb into your carnivore diet is a good way to add variety without sacrificing
nutrition number one suet suet is a type of fat that surrounds the kidneys of animals such as
beef and lamb and it is different from other types of fat on the animal for a few reasons one of the
main ones being the high amount of stearic acid stearic acid is a type of saturated fat that is
well known for its health benefits stearic acid is mainly found in the fat of animals but also in
some plants stearic acid has been associated with weight loss reduced blood pressure improved heart
function and reduced cancer risk one study done on mice where they were fed either stearic acid
linoleic acid or oleic acid enriched diets found that the ceric acid group reduced visceral fat
by 70 percent compared to the other groups the study went on to conclude dietary stearic acid
leads to the reduction of visceral fat as well as lowering blood glucose and leptin concentrations
and as i said suet is one of the richest sources of stearic acid now in terms of where to find suet
you can usually ask your butcher and they will hook you up you can usually buy it in chunks or
rendered into tallow and if you are in the us i know that nosedetail.org sells it this way
