what can you eat on the carnivore diet it seems overly simple like this is too
simple to be true right? just meat meat and salt? the meat and salt version is one
form of the carnivore diet of course there are no carnivore diet police it's
not like a specific protocol like whole 30 or 21 day sugar detox or the GAPS
protocol that all have really specific yeses and noes and there's like a book
and a food list that goes along with them. There are no
particular carnivore police that are going to come after you if you do it
so-called wrong so the most extreme version and this is something that like Jordan
Peterson Mikalah Peterson are both on just beef and salt and that's what they
eat and that's what they feel best on that's that's something that I
personally think a lot of people would benefit from trying for just like five
or ten days and see how they feel but a lot of people kind of ease into it by
just taking out most of the plant foods and so the least restrictive version of
the carnivore diet is where you eat meat dairy um some people even include honey
eggs and even seasonings so like salt pepper steak seasoning and some people
even include like a little bit of avocado oil mayonnaise steak rubs barbecue
sauce a little bit of that but still like 90 or more percent of their
calories are coming from animal products which is meat dairy and most people
choose full fat dairy over like skim milk and eggs and so that's the other
extreme version of the carnivore diet is like you eat mostly meat but you can
have seasoning spices sauces that kind of thing - and so the middle version is
the one that I personally started with is where you eat meat and animal
products like full fat dairy or high fat dairy like butter but then you avoid all
of the additives and eggs but then you avoid all of the seasonings which is
like plant food you only season with salt and you avoid you carefully avoid
all of the additives like the weird stuff that can show up in some heavy
whipping cream there's weird stuff that shows up
in cream cheese and even like there's a little bit of coloring in some cheese
so avoiding all additives and this is a great way to do an elimination diet but
then still including meat of any kind so like seafood beef pork chicken sometimes
a little bit of bacon even though that usually does have some additives in it
eggs and dairy that is really just dairy nothing else
so foods that are so-called healthy but not included on the carnivore diet and
this isn't that thing to say that these are bad foods this is just not included
when people do the carnivore diet is oils that come from plant and that
includes coconut oil so a lot of us that are interested in healthy eating and are
know we do really well on fat have kind of use coconut oil as a crutch so
cutting out the coconut oil and then what can you use instead like what do
you I used to cook my eggs in or what do I use to cook my meat in and I just use
tallow so you can get a little jar and I'll link down below of tallow and I put
it on subscribe and save on Amazon they're like 6 bucks for two jars and 2
jars lasts me like each jar lasts me about a month so tallow is great for
cooking you can save all of your fat like when I put a brisket in the instant
pot and I put in some water there's gonna be a bunch of fat if you just pour
the like the meat juices and everything that's left after you're done in a jar
and you let that solidify there's gonna be a big layer of fat on the top of that
you can use that for cooking as well other foods not included in the
carnivore diet fruit or vegetables or any kind if you add vegetables to the
carnivore diet you're on the keto diet and there's nothing wrong with keto but
it's not the carnivore diet so the point of carnivore is to really get rid of
those vegetables and see how you feel without them other foods not included on
the carnivore diet are sweeteners including stevia or sugar both of those
come from plants alcohol is typically not recommended on the carnivore diet if
you are going to drink like I do usually once a week or so is I'll go out on a
Friday or Saturday night and vodka soda is my thing so bubbly water soda is just
seltzer water and then vodka is it doesn't have
it's one of the kind of les gonna be bothersome alcohols to have if you are
going to drink on the carnivore diet but in general especially if you're doing
this for healing alcohol is not part of a healthy diet it's a toxin to our body
Coffee is something that's included by most of us and I have kept coffee in as
I've done the carnivore diet. Doing a trial with no coffee is probably always
recommended but a lot of people just drink black coffee or they find a heavy
whipping cream that doesn't have additives in it and they put that heavy
whipping cream in their coffee but again we're avoiding the coconut oil so like
the keto coffee where you blend it up with the coconut oil that's something
that we tend to avoid on carnivore but again how you do carnivore is how you do
carnivore there are no carnivore police. if you'd like to see an overview of what
you can eat on the different levels of strictness I do have a meal plan down
below that if you sign up it's for free I have one week where we do just meat
and salt and so that's like the most restrictive week but there is actually
still quite a bit of variety you can get with like seafood and different kinds of
meat and organ meats that can all provide lots of nutrients and variety on
just a carnivore meat and salt diet and then there's other weeks that are in
varying levels of strictness with the least strict adding and seasonings like
garlic and parsley and black pepper or that kind of thing
and there's actually quite a bit that you can make with dairy eggs meat and
seasoning and so I've got a lot of ideas down there below for you next go ahead
and take a look at that video and I show you my surprising results and why I fell
in love with the carnivore diet in my first week on it thanks for joining me
and I will see you back soon time motivated no but first stuff that that
