carnivorous diet
today starts week three of my carnivorous experiment so over the
course of the last two weeks I've been eating strictly carnivorous I've been
eating only meat eggs and hard cheese that's basically it and then drinking
only water no supplementation no nothing else besides those things just that I
haven't experimented with a whole lot of meat so right now it's pretty much just
beef and water that's basically my entire diet and occasionally I throw
some hard cheese in there so let's talk about some of the benefits or drawbacks
that I've experienced so far the first is skin and hair as far as skin goes I
have so as far as skin goes I have experienced no ill effects my skin no
breakouts nothing like that I actually have experienced far less breakouts than
I would on a high sugar diet I feel like my skin is clearing up a little bit but
it's only week two it's really still a bit too early to tell as far as hair
goes my hair is always luxurious and beautiful and hasn't changed so that's
good next up we have sleep my sleep the first week was an issue because the pork
in my diet and things like that once I cut out pork however I've been
sleeping great what I was trying to do is cut out as much rendered fats as
possible I'm probably going to add in pork again at a later date maybe try it
out but the bottom line was once I cut out rendered fats my sleeping went back
to normal I'd sleep super well I wake up after
four or five hours extremely well rested and if I get the full you know eight I
feel absolutely amazing third is energy and this is a big one
energy and workout energy so energy overall the second week has been great I
have had full energy I feel like I'm back to my normal self this week the
first week was a little rough but this week I really feel like
back to my normal stuff I'm easily staying awake all day my energy feels
level all day too which is something that I haven't experienced on a
carb diet on a high carbohydrate diet where you have the peaks and the valleys
a lot of times when I'm on a carbohydrate diet I want to take that 2
p.m. nap on a mostly fat and protein diet I do not have those desires I have
pretty level energy all day I've stayed up till 4 a.m. multiple days this week
editing videos and things like that it's still just great energy when I wake up
so energy as far as just normal everyday energy has not been an issue at all work
out energy I haven't actually been working out the last two days or so
because been hanging out my workout energy is getting back to where it is I
feel like I have much more energy when I'm working out then I did the first
week but I am NOT to the point or I was not at the beginning this week and I
probably still not to the point where I feel like I'm at my full energy that I
was at prior to doing this diet when you eat a high carbohydrate diet you're
gonna have those Peaks and during those Peaks you can really you know strive and
go-go-go but I haven't fully adapted yet and my
workout energy isn't completely back to where it was but I'm hoping that once
maybe a month or 2 months goes by I'll even be at a higher performance level
than before I started this diet ease of diet and hunger / appetite it's easy you
know it's easy I never dread eating I always want the
steak I never once during this diet have been like man I really wish I had
something elsea I'm so sick of this food it's not like that the diet is great for
that I've never never never wanted not wanted a steak this is definitely the
easiest diet that I've ever been on easier than ketogenic easier than any
just anything else I've been on easier than cutting out things just cutting out
things this diet does not leave me wanting for more I don't think
that should be overlooked that's a huge factor when it comes into any diet is
how easy the diet is for people because if it's not easy people quit and people
want to stop doing it and then hunger and appetite I kind of went over that
already but basically I'm never really hungry which is great I'm just always
kind of level just like with my energy levels my hunger is always kind of level
when I start to feel a little bit hungry I go get something to eat but I don't
have valleys I'm not ever just like oh my gosh I'm all of a sudden starving
it's not like that which is great I eat about two meals per day that's what I'm
doing right now it's like earlier this morning I
actually a steak and seven eggs it's a lot of eggs I'll probably have one more
meal and that will probably be something like either a steak again or I might
make beef patties or something like that and just ground beef and maybe throw
some hard cheese on there or something that's pretty much what I've been doing
I've been eating just twice a day I would really my goal eventually is to
cut that down to only once a day eat everything in one sitting and then just
not have to eat again so that is going to be the future goal we're gonna see if
we can get there you know this one bowel movements people ask me about it all the
time completely fine no issues don't worry
and the last thing that I have is digestion and basically what I'm talking
about here is just how I am digesting my meat I know a lot of people think that
if you eat a lot of meat just sits in your stomach that's not really the case
after I eat a meal I do get hotter like I really become my body's like a furnace
that's how I feel anyway and so I've actually really enjoyed it because it's
colder weather and I'm stay warmer a lot of people have asked if I if like it
sits in my gut and that's not the case at all I feel good
all the time like I was saying before no peaks and valleys I'm always just level
all day and everything is so far pretty great so that's my week to update guys
I'm starting into week three as a carnivore you know I'm gonna do at least
four weeks of this and if I feel as good as I'm feeling right now and if I just
keep feeling better like I have been I'll probably just keep going I would
love to do 90 days so if you enjoyed this video guys if you want to stay
