Future you is going to be so thankful you are taking care of your body, health, and fitness. Amazing progress and hope you keep up (and enjoy) the journey.

@@mwbeck Progress will for sure slow down but it’s a life long journey that never ends

I want to start sprinting too! I thought I would never say it but when I went low carb and then really strict I wanted randomly to run. It is great feeling.

Did you have an idea how many calories you were over maintenance? 3 meals ?

@@jksinorbit one meal. About 2.5lbs of red meat per day and lots of added fat

Don’t need so many farmers growing grains; every family needs a rancher.

@@richrogers2157 I was referring to pastoral grazing.

Not carbs, necessarily, but insulin

Snap

Keep at it that's all I know. Sounds like you are on a road to great health and building muscle! Get after it friend! Show us how its done!💪🏆

@@MagneticlawENOUGH PROTEIN WILL TURN TO GLUCOSE EVENTUALLY NATURALLY IN THE BODY SO I WOULD SAY CRANK UP THE PROTEIN(I HAVE ZERO PROBLEM BUILDING MUSCLE AS A SOON TO BE 48 YEAR OLD MAN, LIFETIME NATURAL 5’10” & VERY LEAN 8% BODYFAT AT 180LBS VIA EATING APPROXIMATELY 1.5G/LBS OF BODYWEIGHT WHICH TRANSLATES TO 270 GRAMS DAILY) BEST OF LUCK, EAT MEAT TRAIN HARD DAILY & NEVER GIVE UP👌👍💪🥩

@@Magneticlaw the body builder myth is carb loading after lifting weights to supposedly spike insulin to promote muscle growth but I always thought insulin was body storage promoting hormone and regulared how sugar was used? Don't carbs make you fat since thye turn into sugar and body uses fat to burn fat and if carbs turn to sugar that does not get used as fuel and stored as fat?

I believe it

Wow, this is so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤

You could go to a gym and help the rest of your body, too.

So basically doing chinups using your sink as the bar?

Step 2 : Practice getting up off the floor without using your arms from all different positions - in case you fall and break both your arms. Step 3 : stand on 1 leg for a minute each leg while you clean your teeth to improve your balance anf prevent the fall.

Personally bulking on carnivore I simply added more dairy then I normally would. You know grate some cheese on your eggs, ground beef, and well I mean that's all I eat lol with some bacon

Hell yes Matt!

I have been bulking, eating about 4 lbs of meat per day for ten months and put on 28 lean pounds.

That did not happen to me. I bulked on Carnivore and got pretty fat.

@@Mantorok That should be impossible. So I would ask what you ate specifically. Dairy can mess up some people.

There is no one that does more for Shawn Bakers channel than Julien!

eat 2 sticks of butter you wont need the carbs

If you are eating enough protein your body is making all the glucose it needs and stimulates insulin

You'd think, but my progress in the gym is rather lackluster on carnivore. I work out too little and I definitely eat too little. Bit of a vicious cycle ,- eat too little so no energy for workouts so not very hungry so I eat too little. I've noticed that some people just don't experience the carnivore miracle. Over the past 15 months, I went from "mostly fine" to "mostly fine+". Didn't really get most of the benefits I was hoping for, but the few I did get make it worth carrying on.

@@Sylvine- The struggle is REAL. I have had most of my stomach removed, and unless I smoke cannabis - I do not have an appetite. And from being bedridden/housebound, for nearly a decade - I have lost a considerable amount of muscle. I’m working on figuring it out, though, it is quite frustrating, for sure.

​@@XOChristianaNicoleI'm sorry for your struggles. Sounds like you need Jesus! I'm serious he gives hope, joy, salvation and sometimes he heals our infirmities. He created all things and he sustains it despite our evils and fallen nature. He loves us and want the best for us. Sometimes our bad situations are our own doing and he can bring healing to our souls.

@@Sylvine Could you expand on what benefits you have experienced? And what you would like to experience? I keep teetering on starting carnivore, but the sugar addiction is strong

If you go from a clean diet with adequate protein to carnivore, you won't see a big difference. If you go from a horrific diet of seed oils and mostly carbs in the form of processed sugars, you will see a dramatic difference.

Linguists have also found an ancient equivalent for the word "vegan" that goes back much farther than 1944. In modern English it translates to "bad hunter". At least that's what someone else wrote in a youtube comment (so it must be right). ;-)

You didn't do it long enough to get fat adapted.

What dairy did you include? Did you try milk?

@@tonycamaj4560 Full cream milk and cheese.

Does cheese not put you out of ketosis? I'm 11 days in eating nothing but meat and drinking nothing but water.

@@jurisveipe4341 It depends on the type of cheese - i use cheddar which has 1.3 grams carbs per 100g which is perfectly fine. Most hard or semi-hard cheese is extremely low carb. A lot of the soft cheeses are higher carb. Always just check the nutritional info label and make sure it's low. Cheese is mostly fat and protein - exactly what you want. It's also great for upping the fat content if you're eating a meat which is too lean like chicken breast

That's impressive. What does your training regimen look like?

@@tonycamaj4560 Thanks! Doing a split routine : Mon - legs/calves Tue - chest/biceps/shoulders Wed - back/triceps/abs Thurs - Rest Fri - chest/biceps/shoulders Sat - back/triceps/abs Sun - Rest I do 16 total sets per muscle group per week except legs; just 12 sets

There's a reason there are almost no athletes or bodybuilders doing the carnivore thing at the higher levels.

Renaissance periodization channel has a lot of good stuff as far as work out routines and breaking down the science to it.

Look up Caroline Girvan she has lots of programs if you haven’t worked out try her beginner. If you want pure lifting try her iron program. Most of her programs have lifting w an element of cardio or a 1 day of cardio. Sometimes the cardio is just shorter rest periods vs burpees etc. she has abt 2 yrs of programs then went to an app.

Mike Mentzer... Look him up.

@@Luke_MoonWalker Thanks for the heads-up. Mike Mentzer was a body builder, not a strength trainer. I have some concerns about his mental breakdown, and definitely about his death from heart failure at 49! I suspect it had to do with his diet. His workout style which would now be called HIIT, I do agree with. I should have made clear that I'm focused on athletic performance, not bodybuilding or looks.

@@peterm.eggers520 Body builders are strong. Also, his personal life and choices do not detract from his brilliance when it comes to physiology. He understood the importance of rest and taxing the muscles just enough to stimulate growth, then giving adequate time for recovery, which is when growth and repair happen. He emphasizes short, effective, workouts. Often times, highly intelligent people like him suffer from the realities of this realm, because as you get older you start to realize that we live in a society based on social manipulation and not merit. When this reality hits you, it's hard to cope, hence his downfall. He was probably the most intelligent competitive body builder to ever exist. I was not suggesting you jump on gear and amphetamines to improve your physique. I was suggesting you take a look at his workout routine as an effective means to get what you are looking for. I used to workout 4-5 times a week and realized that I was not gaining much strength or achieving the physique changes I was after. Now I hit the gym 1-2 times per week and my body is transforming. Also, HIIT is High Intensity Interval Training and refers to a cardio routine. HIT is just High Intensity Training and refers to Mentzer's method of pushing to failure to stimulate growth. Only reason I suggested it is because you were looking for a simple and effective routine that gets results. A Mentzer style routing would have you in the gym for an hour max 2 days a week. Seems ideal for what you are looking for.

If you haven’t done Starting Strength, then that’s the place to start. Three days per week focusing on the big lifts.

@@nevertoofast2 Thank, I'll look into it. The book seems very popular and the synopsis is intriguing.

Ketones, acetone.

Means you’re in ketosis usually

@@denizkenger52 It means you are doing it right, very strictly.

idk. I've had certain fatty bites of meat and salt remind me of chocolate cake or maple syrup on pancakes. It's really strange, makes me wonder if these things are mimicking a reaction we evolved to incentivize meat.

Start making your own milk kefir, drink it daily. it's rich in probiotics/gut beneficial bacteria

How much do you eat? How much fat?

Went from 4 eggs, groundbeef and an ribeye from basicly not being able to eat any meat. As if its still in my stomach. Meats are very fatty and grassfed.

Will take 2- 6 months for your stomach to sort itself, im at 6 months carnivore now and finally things are mostly good, still have problems will cheese

Try eating some raw unheated honey and/or raw apple cider vinegar in water after you consume meat. The honey (specifically raw) has enzymes. You can try only cooking to rare or blue. Raw and blue doesn't feel like a brick in your stomach. But yeah raw is another level.

Try fasting at the start of each month for 72-hours. You will gradually lose the extra fat. I'm doing a four day (96-hour) fast this week, and I treat it as a deload week where I don't workout or anything. Ever since I started doing this and working out, I've lost lots of fat on my thighs, back, and midsection. I didn't even stop drinking dairy (limited to 1-2 glasses a day). It is tough at first, but gets easier each time. You lose the hunger by day two, and you could do it up to five days without fear of losing any muscle mass at all even if you are on the skinnier side.

I'm about to eat 3 ribeye steaks. CARN4LIFE

Carb diet helps you hold on to water, so your muscles are puffier.

So what's the end result aesthetically after a year of carnivore and lifting vs before carnivore?

@@cornstar1253 so you think water in muscles got replaced by actual muscles and now they just continue growing? That sounds interesting.

@@tonycamaj4560 I think my shoulders got bigger, maybe also arms and chest. At least that's how it looks.

Work out anyway. Your body getting used to not working out is the problem.

Eat some clean healthy carbs like organic fruit and watch your energy sky rocket.

@@Luke_MoonWalkerI don’t eat fruit, I’m Carnivore.

@@themoodyphotographer59 that's exactly why your so tired and lack motivation.

@Luke_MoonWalker I don't eat fruit and I'm not tired, nor do I lack the motivation to work out. In his case, it may not be dietary at all.

Well if you're20 yrs old you can eat junk and still be thin and fit no matter what you do but it hits ya like a ton of bricks when you get around 48 yrs old so....

The most important carb for pros is PEDs 😂

glycogen

Putting muscle on carnivore is easier and you lose fat faster? Source?

Her amount of exercise makes up for it. You can look at Mike Musumeci too. Eats carbs mainly but fasts throughout day plus trains loads.

How long has it been since you started and how has strength and energy been affected?

@@tonycamaj4560 mate I'm probably couple months in pretty strict. Strength is good. Went through the energy lows to start but come good after a couple of weeks . All my bloat has gone and better mental clarity but no inflammation drops really. Body is very sore lower back and knees still

That can have more to do with rendered fat than the solid fat itself. The liquid/greasy rendered fat could be overwhelming your gall bladder (or liver, if you no longer have a gall bladder). This forced you to produce extra bile salts to breakdown the liquid fat which can causes issues; also, if you drink water right before, during, or right after eating red meat, it can have the same effect, PLUS turn it into mush too quickly leading to diarrhea. It is actually best to avoid water 30 minutes prior to or after eating.

try eating your cooked meat cold, it is easier to eat and slows the absorption of fat. i love cold ground beef, i throw it in the fridge for an hour before i eat it.

Probably not producing enough bile. It takes time to build that up and if you're older you are fighting age and everything takes longer. An ox bile supplement will help in the interim.

Everybody needs to cut their own path.

They bought into the same brainwashing the rest of us did that plants are somehow beneficial.

ngl eggs and milk is inflammatory for most people

​@@honobuyonezawa2054"most people"......whoever that is... .

They look blotted couse of hgh.

If your taking half a pharmacy then you probably could do with some carbs 😂

Yes pitifully low in electrolytes on carnivore That's why many of these grifters ( influncers ) shill electrolytes, just like the lion does ( carnivore lion diet reference ) Even Dr Faker supplements his body parts with sodium and God knows what else . And these grifters think steak is " nutritionally complete. " 😂

Only necessary when you transition from carbs to meat only. Redmond salt works

Add duck fat.

Not too much at all on the organ meat otherwise you could get protein poisoning-organ meat shouldn’t be consumed regularly.

@@jacqueliner7585 I had been eating beef hearts almost exclusively for over year WITH additional creatine supplementation. I am fine. Protein poisoning is possible only without enough fat

@@olgagerman4878 Just returned from PHC with these carnivore advocating doctors - what was written up “ Eat rarely if desired & no reaction.” I agree it’s an optimal source if you eat enough fat but not many ppl would understand the consequences of regularly eating on a weekly basis. Good point you made. 🤗

@@olgagerman4878 Just been at the PHC London and what was scripted by Dr Anthony Chaffee advocating carnivore was; Organ meat - Sub Optimal Range - “Eat rarely if desired & no reaction”. Eat all dairy. I agree with you but not everyone understands the consequences of eating offal on a regular (say weekly) basis and without eating enough fat. It’s one to watch with caution. The recommendation was a few times throughout a year is safe 🤷‍♀️. You made a good point! Fats are important too.

@@jacqueliner7585 it's all just about macros. Just stick to high fat and you'll be fine

I don’t know about the protein being a factor but ketosis can I believe

I (and many others) have experienced the opposite. Bad breath is usually the result of three things: 1. Food pulp stuck in your teeth and on your tongue 2. Gas 3. Dead/dying teeth and/or gum disease #1 just doesn't happen on carnivore. In fact, your teeth will have never looked cleaner. #2 also doesn't happen as you no longer have digestive distress from fermenting plants and grains and indigestible fiber. #3 many people have seen this REVERSED on carnivore. There is a moment - and I mean literally a moment - where someone entering ketosis for the first time will have a metallic taste in their mouth. But it doesn't last, and it certainly doesn't give off an odor. You also will notice that your sweat isn't as prone to bacteria build-up and thus reduced body odor.

​@@user-sp1gw8gz3oketosis will make your breath fruity.....bad breath is probably something else

Back in my old days eating carbs I would get bad breath when I increased protein. And real bad gas. Quite the opposite on carnivore. So I guess there is something going on with the carbs AND extra protein.

@tradermunky1998 very little fruit and some dairy but mostly carnivore. It could be just me, but I notice people backing up. My teeth are always cleaned and flossed. It may be coming from my gut, but I can't smell anything coming from me. I've been told I'm intimidating looking, but either way, it's causing damn anxiety.

Only if you want baby sized gonads. Might as well be vegan.

That's not muscle that is sarcoplasmic fluid

@@Christian-tw3sp You dont curl a 100lb barbell for reps with fluid bub. Post a picture and let's see what this carnivore diet has done for your arms.

​@stevemann1299 have you seen dr chaffee or even watch this video of dr. Baker these guys are buff as ish from carnivore

@@TheGriceglobal Next to me neither is buff. They have no arms. Its like Keto. You can't keep full powerful muscle on that either. I will take both of them apart in the gym. And im older than both of them which is the POINT.

@@stevemann1299 I humbly disagree with you dr chaffee def has guns my guy and dr baker is probably bigger than you based on your profile pic

Sometimes it can be a cheap drink to add on if your struggling to eat enough

Exacto

It can help with logistics during hard times.

If you have a nice neighborhood butcher, you can sometimes get some extra fat for free.

Would you recommend milk instead?

Protein excess converts to glucose. That causes the insulin to rise slower. It's still happening though. And fat doesn't clog your insulin receptors.

@@cornstar1253don’t waste your time arguing with this troll….

There are none.

@@tonycamaj4560 correct 👍🏼

True it's what you do to strengthen you! But it requires protein. The best protein is with Carnivore eating!
