*I lost 120 pounds in 2018 on a Carnivore Diet, I maintained that in 2019. In 2020 I struggled with some weight gain and then lost it again in 2021. For the last few years I have been maintaining a healthy weight. In December 2022 I had skin removal surgery (tummy tuck). This channel just documents all of that journey and how our family lives normal lives and eats a meat based diet.

for those who are curious, eggs in most parts of Europe are not washed prior to being sold, this keeps the protective membrane on the egg so that it safe to keep at room temps. In Canada and the US eggs are washed prior to being sold and this means they can not be stored at room temps more than 2 hours or they can go bad quickly causing you to become sick. Milk is pasteurized in both North America and Europe however in NA its not heated to the same VERY high temps as in Europe. in NA its heated enough to kill "most" bacteria but not all, and therefor must be kept refrigerated, in Europe they heat the milk to a much higher temp killing ALL bacteria thus giving it a much longer shelf life and it can be kept at room temps. I was raised on a farm and prefer raw milk and cheese produced using raw milk ( butter etc) it is MUCH better for us and we can better digest it, unfortunately the dairy cartels took over in the 60's and well here we are with dairy now being the leading cause of childhood constipation in north America. The more you know :)

You're talking about UHT milk which can be years at room temperature. There's also pasteurized fresh milk in most supermarkets here in Spain which has to be kept cold and has a much shorter shelf life

@@jacquibrown4271 That is not my experience. I buy raw milk and cream regularly and they last similarly to regular pasteurized milk when stored in the fridge. Very few instances of raw milk making people sick although there are a lot of instances of non raw milk cheese making people sick as well as other agricultural products that people continue to buy despite the fact that they have been recalled multiple times for making people sick with e-coli and campylobacter. Spinach, lettuce and melons have been recalled time after time and no one says don't buy them. I literally just looked it up and so many conventional products are being recalled right now for contamination from bacteria. Big corps like Cargill have their meat recalled for contamination regularly. The only milk product I found recalled was a batch of Sheep's milk from a small sheep milk dairy. I haven't tried sheep milk but it would be a very small market for this. In any case raw milk dairies are scrutinized heavily for cleanliness and illness in their dairy cows. That is why there is less contaminated raw milk getting on to the shelves than any other agricultural product.

The chicken has it‘s yellow colour because it‘s been fed corn excusively 🥰 we have that Type of chicken in Germany as well, it‘s concidered very good!

In Baja Mexico marigolds seeds are fed to some of the chickens... thus yellow tinged. Marigolds are grown here.

the price of the iberic ham depends on what the pork is being fed with and the difference is in the taste and quality. The most expensive ones are being fed outdoors with acorns.They are raised in a very specific places in Spain and they are treated like kings until their deaths. the taste of the meat of these porks are amazing. The one your husband took and didnt't know, carrilleras or carrillada, is for stew and once it is cooked you can also use it to make a very good rice. and the tenderloins are so so good!! Iberic pork is the best in the world and we eat everything, ears, hands, nose, guts....and the meat.

The yellow chicken is usually corn fed in the uk. It’s more expensive and the flavour is richer and the fat is delicious. You should try it for the flavour difference.
@theresam567 2 ай бұрын
All US corn is GMO, not fit for anything to consume. Unfortunately, it's I most of our food here & why most of us are sick.
@gingergroundhog1595 2 ай бұрын
I think in Spain it should be non GMO corn as GMO is not readily accepted here and if I recall correctly, has to be labelled. Corn fed chicken in the uk is usually free range and organic and non GMO and costs approx 30% more. I was in Chicago recently and the size of the chicken breast was enormous, I was shocked as it wouldn’t come form a normal sized bird 😳

@davidsalvador6031 2 ай бұрын
Saludos desde Barcelona, España. Lots of chicken here is white meat (more the free range kind, or organic ones, which here are called "ecologic") but the yellow ones tend to be cheaper since they're primarily fed corn, soy (mostly GMO ones or conventional feed) and people tend to prefer the fattier flavor. Of course they're linoleic acid laden and full of unhealthy PUFAs, so it's good for the palate but not your mitochondria

Thanks for this! I'm always interested to see what products Costco in other countries has. Here in Australia, milk in supermarkets is refrigerated but eggs usually aren't. However in Costco the eggs are in the fridge, at least my local one. Our beef mince is 9.99/kg at our Costco (around $3/lb in US dollars) and is the cheapest anywhere apart from a really good clearance deal.

there IS a costco in Japan too! we had African friends who lived in Japan for 8 years. Their 4 year old daughter did not eat our African and Americanfood or use silverwear, so the parents said " if we can go to costco we can get what she will eat. " Yikes ` who knew, in America we could get Japandi food and some essentials like Ovaltine. for their Japan born Ghana girl. ( we are Nigerian though and still have chopsticks, asian soup spoons and appropriate 'bowls'😗😗)
