Hi Laura, I have a few issues on my carnivore journey that I would like some opinions on. Feel free to contact me if you have time.

Please do a 5 fast food series. I've been binge watching your videos. You're an inspiration 💕

@Jennie Adams I went Carnivore shortly after the pandemic. I noticed after I had to start wearing a mask every day for a 14hr shift in a high stress high pace environment that I began having issues with my ability to smell. It was like a light switch would be turned off and on interment. Sometimes I would be able to smell and others not at all. I was tested but never was positive. I gradually worsened until I just couldn't smell. At night I would have severe congestion in my nose and chest. When the mandate ended I slowly got better and currently my smell is like a light switch some days it works but most days it is off. I have nighttime congestion still in the form of a crazy cough until after I have woken up. Once I am up it is noticeably better. I have lost over 150 lbs. I feel overall great but I just want to be able to smell and get a good night's sleep unhindered by congestion. I believe strongly that me being forced to wear a mask all day is the reason behind this. Any thoughts?

@Jennie Adams I really just want to be able to smell and breathe through my nose! Hoping someone in the community has answers.

@Robb I’m so glad a doctor is in the comments!! This “diet” I use that loosely, isn’t good for us. Is that correct?

Absolutely!

Agreed. She is just normal like the rest of us. I thought I had to buy organic bacon to avoid the sugar. But I felt better when I saw she buys regular bacon too.

It might be "doable" but parasites are a real thing and this meat is so so bad for you. Do your research.. especially if you're going to primarily eat dairy and meat.

New subbie because you are so real ❤ Also as a former merchandiser, yep, some Walmarts be like that 😂

*you're

I cook for my family by cooking the meat first and setting some aside for me before I finish the dish for my family. Although they have all gone much closer to carnivore just from watching how it helps me.

You’re clueless

I was wondering if a customer complained because they didn't think others should be on camera. Idk, but I was trying to think of reasons.

usually it is because someone complained

People forget about the domestic violence victims just trying to shop. People think who will find you that way and I can honestly tell you 100% they do

I've found that buying direct from a local farm, in bulk, helps a lot. I bought a half steer last summer for around $6 a lb. I'll have meat for at least a year!

Always remember eating cheap meat is still better than the American diet

You've lost 20lbs in 3 weeks?!?!

Stop as,ing

My Walmart is awful. Was just there today checking out the meat just in case I found something reasonable and decent looking and nope; I’m rarely successful there. Those that have nice selections at their Walmarts are lucky!

I wonder about giving a kitten some meat she really needs to putvon some weight she is the runt and so so tiny. Compared to the others now they are about 4 or 5 months old now. Eating mostly free community pet pantry food. Dog food mostly because my stepson won't buy catfood for them. I think they would do good on meat. But just can't afford it for all his cats. There are 4 kittens and 5 adults 1 is the mama the daddy got away before they moved in with me.

Hey Carnivore Quest!! Love you guys!❤️ So cool seeing you here!!

Same here. Our Walmart has disgusting meat. The other 2 stores in town have high quality meat. The one even has its own butcher and team there on site, so the meat is fresh.

Yaaaassss! Finally someone said it. If you can’t afford to buy responsibly farmed meat, eat less meat…

Wonder if that packaging is done at other stores? I didn't know that either.

Oh man, I miss HEB so much. You’re lucky!

@@Pooshee123 went with my daughter in law to H E B in Plano, Tx on Sunday, it was her first time there, I think we were there over 3 hours! She spent about $200 more than she had planned on!😂 She just kept saying there’s just soooooo much stuff! And all of those in store coupons had her hooked for life!

@@lolaottinger3038 I don’t blame her, lol!

we LOVE Chuck eyes

Where do you find those, Deborah?

@@michelehafthudson2438 I get them at my local Harris Teeter, a large groc chain in the mid-Atlantic. I would just ask your butcher at your favorite groc store. They are sometimes called "Delmonico steaks". I don't have the room to be buying 1/4 sides of beef etc but am thinking of buying a "chuck roll" (about 20 lbs) to cut up at home and get a bunch of chuck roasts and steaks from, if I can get a good price on it. INFO: per THE SPRUCE The chuck roll is a large (approximately 20 pounds) boneless subprimal piece made up of the long section of meat between the ribs and the backbone. A skilled butcher can remove the ribs and backbone in one piece, and this piece of meat can then be divided in half. The section that overlays the ribs is usually used for ground beef, and what is left, after being trimmed and squared up, is called the chuck roll. The chuck roll actually has some tender muscles in it, including a few inches of the longissimus dorsi, which make excellent grilling steaks. In fact, this is the same muscle from which we get rib-eye steaks. But because there are quite a few tough muscles in the chuck roll too, one of the most common techniques is to separate the top section called the chuck eye (which contains the tender longissimus dorsi muscle) from the bottom section known as the chuck under the blade, which can be sliced thin for a stir-fry.

@@deborah2592 Thanks for the comprehensive response! I’m not aware of any Harris Teeter around here, but I’ll try talking to a butcher at the grocery store.

You can find them at Walmart. I haven’t been able to find them at Kroger as of late, but they used to have them too. I try to keep some in the freezer.

congrats!

I went from a 42 inch waist to a 32 inch waist. BP is 100/66. You got this! Doing this for over a year.

I really need to do this also! Thank you for the inspiration!

Salt from mars🤣🤣🤣

I saw a video of a guy who complained to customer service about the scanning the wrong price. they walk back his whole order and looked at the receipt and the shelf talker price. They refunded him $40.

What a great idea!!! I hate pork rinds, but I wonder if I could tolerate them if used this way...

@@CheapsKate77 I despise pork rinds as well, this is an amazing way to eat them lol

Awesome! So glad you love it!

The Chocolate is my least favorite. I always throw it away and keep all the other flavors, but now I'm going use it in my coffee, so yes I agree with you Tonya.....BRILLIANT ideal.

Wondering if the sodium amount might be considered too high since I deal with high blood pressure😏??

@@hollyfisher8811 If you’re on blood pressure medication, it could be problematic…maybe. But if not, and you’re doing keto, etc., and dropping water weight rapidly along with burning through your glycogen stores, you will need the extra salt and potassium. A loss of potassium in particular will cause a rise in blood pressure. So if you’re strict with your keto/carnivore diet, you need to replace those electrolytes.

I started doing the Walmart pick up and it has been great!

Cents?? Many items are more expensive by DOLLARS per item!!

The Walmart by my house has police camera towers in the parking lot that are always on, charged by big solar panels during the day…enough said

Go in the morning at 5am when no one is there. Or 12am. You avoid the crazies only if you're shopping that early you may be the crazy 🤣

The Walmarts near me are pretty nice like the ones Laura went to. It is great to go early if you prefer the store to be almost empty.
