the guidelines for the carnivore diet are simple eat only foods from the
animal kingdom don't eat any plants eat when you're hungry stop when you're full
but what exactly does that look like how much and how often should you be eating
keep watching to find out 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 bitch intensity of eating if you like this video please give it a thumbs
up feel free to share and make sure you subscribe and also make sure to follow
me on Instagram Twitter and Facebook where I share new posts every single day
if you are first starting the carnivore diet it is best to go all-in
cut all plants out completely and eat only meat if you want to include coffee
that is one plant food that you can include or I guess drink not food and
when you're first starting out throw all of your preconceived notions of
mealtimes and portion sizes out the window so it's day 1 wake up and
evaluate how you're feeling hunger wise if you are coming from a keto diet and
already practice intermittent fasting then you might just have a black coffee
in the morning or even nothing if you do check in with yourself and you are
hungry however bacon and eggs are a great place to start now I mentioned
before it to throw all of your preconceived notions about portion sizes
out the window egg this is one of those things I don't
know about you but I always thought you just had to eat them in pairs
I would always cook two at a time number one never 3 - but with the carnivore
diet there is no limit for eggs and there shouldn't be for anyone really my
first meal of the day usually has between 4 and 6 eggs so don't be shy
don't worry about eating too many eat until you're full when you start to get
full stop eating you don't have to finish all the food on your plate
conversely if you finish all your food and you're still hungry cook up a few
more eggs and if you were fasting and skipped your first meal this might be
your first meal but just later in the day now before we talk about what we're
gonna have for a second meal we need to talk about snacks ideally we do not want
to be snacking between meals and you shouldn't feel the urge to if you're
eating enough at your meals so if you do get hungry between meals it means that
you didn't eat enough earlier so for your second meal if you pushed your
first meal to midday or later then you're probably only gonna have two
meals in your day and you can skip this one
altogether now there is no right or wrong answer it's not necessarily better
to eat two meals or three meals or even one meal it's what's ever gonna work for
you really really listen to your body tune in to those hunger cues have big
meals and don't snack in between if you didn't end up fasting in the morning and
you are gonna have three meals in the day here are some options for meal
number tip sake is obviously we go to if you are at home and able to cook it up
yourself you could also cook up a couple of burgers tinned fish and hard-boiled
eggs are also a good option if you have to pack a lunch for work or school now I
say best maybe not the best smell wise but they're good options in terms of
being portable you could even just bring some precooked ground beef heat it up at
work a little bit of sour cream and maybe some shredded cheese and I'm just
gonna reiterate this again you want to eat until you are full meal number three
now if you have eaten two meals already today and it gets to be dinnertime
and you're not hungry then don't eat if you are then do eat there's nothing
wrong one way or the other just as long as you aren't going against your body
some options for dinner include obviously steak you can do a pork belly
roast you can do lamb you can do fish so salmon or any other type of fish really
roast chicken you can do burgers again scallops prawns those are good sides
there are so many so now we have went over the basic
structure of a day of eating but there are a few bonus foods you might want to
add organ meats while their importance on a carnivore diet is debated there's
no arguing that they aren't nutritious if you're gonna pick one to add in make
it beef liver and it doesn't even have to be every day it can be a couple of
times a week even just once a week beef liver is high in nutrients that muscle
meat is low in if you aren't a fan of beef liver beef liver capsules my best
friend I talk about these all the time but honestly they make getting beef
liver in so so easy I will link them in the description box down below another
type of food you might want to add in is just some form of omega-3s so if you
already ate fish earlier in the day then you've already got it in if not then a
cod liver oil or a krill oil are also a good option bone broth or collagen
powder is another thing I like to add in as often as I can really great for your
skin hair muscles nails all that the last thing I want to mention that's
really important is your electrolytes especially when you're first starting
out it's important to make sure you're keeping these up so the main one is
sodium just make sure you're salting your food really well you can also add a
teaspoon to your glass of water in the morning that will help you can also add
in an electrolyte powder to get a bit more magnesium and potassium now I find
that it depends on the individual whether an electrolyte supplement is
necessary or not some people find that their electrolytes just fall into place
they don't have any problems whereas other people really need to prioritize
it so if you're first starting out I recommend prioritizing it and then
adjusting from there and that is what a day of eating on the carnivore diet
might look like I have a playlist on my channel with several examples of what I
eat on a day to day basis so you can check that out as well and if you want
