Fantastic video! I can't understand how anyone could possibly go somewhere and attempt to impose their version of reality. Adopt, accept and understand the environment you are in. It's great to see you calling out these people because they are far too commonplace. It doesn't matter what country it is in, you can be taken advantage of ANYWHERE. Your group of contacts truly is fantastic and as you've said many times before contacts are everything. Work with people you trust, pay what you need to pay to get the results you are expecting. Bottom line, you need to accept responsibility for your choices. Pura Vida!

I love my Jim Beam here in the USA however, in Costa Rica I switched to Crown Tower. Much cheaper. Look for local items to buy.

Good morning 🌺 Yes, after 1 year, I have found a little house (I call it the caretakers's house) for $325. a month. And I'm starting my garden next week! The beauty and tranquility is priceless. It's always good to see you two. Thank you for another interesting video!

Often people become what they fear, they never learn that being hyper vigilant about something is a part of a self fulfilling prophecy

I want an apartment just like Michael has and just chill! If the political environment would stabilize here in the USA, I might sell everything and head to Costa Rica! Johnny is a treasure! I am 67 and time is flying by! Great job guys! Love the circle of contacts that you have! All wonderful people!

In a way I’m guilty of the same thing. We moved from kind to animals and people, far south rural Chicago, to hate everybody, cruel to animals west Tennessee. I find the culture vile. We are 64 and 69 and have health issues, He won’t move. So I post on the internet all the time, if you love animals, and or come from a gentle Christian church..west Tennessee is not for you.

Hi!

Pobrecito gua gua

this vet is NO GOOD and don't know how to do it! Poor dog,what a nasty vet!

How many times have I heard, Costa Rica would be so much better if only it was more like the United States. No Gracias!

You look fantastic Michael, congratulations! I know this is your channel and you can talk about whatever you wish, but I really cringe when you go into politics. I unsubscribed when you did it the last election and during covid. I don't subscribe to your channel to hear about your politics. Actually, I subscribe to get AWAY from politics lolol. I really hope you concentrate of "Travel Costa Rica NOW" information instead. Still love you though! :)

Why know veggies when Blue Zone people live the longest, on a lot of veggies and very little meat? Thank you!

People ought to take a test before they vacation in a particular country. If they fail they need to be banned from said country. I knew about the septic system 12 years ago when I was there. I LOVE rice and beans and knew about central American culture BEFORE I left. If you want everything you're used to on vacation. If you want your creature comforts. STAY HOME

I thought fruit is super cheap in Costa Rica, surprised you would not be having what’s local and available .. also no honey? Tragic lol I have been having green tea (matcha) over coffee, I get way to into coffee so I restrict it to social events

You should get real bacon from the open markets. They cut it anyway you like. 6500 colones per kilo.

You really ate this video up.

Hey there, "diet" refers to the foods a person eats; people just interpret that word in many different ways...some coffee, like Starbucks, for example, actually has carbs. Yes, Himalayan salt in your water for electrolytes. I have it every day. Your results are showing - looking good! Thanks for sharing

Low fat carnivore could cause a bit of constipation. But also, some may think they're constipated when really they're just absorbing most of their food. Bowel movements tend to happen much less often eating carnivore. Salt helps keep the bowel hydrated, too. Magnesium oxide draws a LOT of water to the gut and can clean you out if you're really having trouble. How pricy is the beef down there?

Bacon, Beef, Butter and eggs. From Dominical. Its hard to find an affordable, good cut of steak

Strait guy teaching dudes how to pick up dudes is priceless 😅

I seen this guy in downtown San Jose argument very loudly with someone over the telephone It give the impression of bad person and very arrogant

Hi Mike ,I could do that since I do 4 eggs a day ,bacon once to 2 times a-week and love meat since it doesn’t require a lot of predding because I don’t cook. Mike I’m flying in Aug 24 and will miss the last flight to Cobano , I believe you know a hotel I can go to for the night that’s close to the SJO airport. Thanks Mike

Simple, and straightforward what's not to like? Big fan of the concept, I personally don't do a strict carnivore diet, but my diet definitely leans heavily towards it. Thanks for sharing as always.

Full Carnivore here and Extremely Healthy and healed many off my chronic health issues . I don't take any prescription medicine 💪🙏. Im 66 and in the best health ive been in forever!!! Natural energy through the roof 😁💪. I live permanently in CR for three years now and get my Carnivore food from local Farmers market and from Local Carnes shops. I make my own electrolytes from organic magnesium powder, Himalayan pink salt and Organic Potassium Powder i get from at our farmers market from our Organic lady. I am never going back to normal traditional food pyramid which kept me sick . Michael there will always be negative Nellies and comments about eating right because they still believe you NEED plants and etc to be healthy!!! Its ok because im the one getting healthier and stronger everyday and have healed so i don't listen to any of that static!!! My bloodwork is perfect. I keep connected with Carnivore community and carnivore Doctors . Carnivore is a lifestyle for me not a Diet. Diets don't work for lifestyle!!! Im never hungry and i never have food cravings , i eat when im hungry and stop when im full. I eat twice a day because I can't possibly eat more than that. Thank you for sharing 🙏 my friend and i support you 💯 !! I eat BBBE with chicken wings , fish periodically. Water water water 💧 have you tried Carnivore meatloaf?? I eat sardines weekly

Variety, they say, is the spice of life. I’ve tried various weight loss diets over the years, but I have found that just counting and limiting the number of calories in each meal to be the most effective and enjoyable. The all-protein diet is an expensive one, as well. Not sure about their diets these days, but when we live there in Costa Rica 40 years ago the average Costa Rican family only eight meat once a week.

You are in super good shape, be proud of your discipline ❤

Do you still use whey protein? And why/why not? Great message. It also does pertain to Costa Rica because many of us are engaged in a very active and healthy lifestyle in our pursuing optimal health so we have to keep in mind but it would be like in Costa Rica. So give yourself more credit. This was a very, very much a video about life in Costa Rica. I’ll just add perhaps that is maybe for someone who’s absolutely decided to make the move and they already outlining their lifestyle. Thank you! This video was cool.

got a health question, a while back you did a video on TRT . Are you still doing that ? if so hows it going , if not why

CR can be a difficult place for the keto/carnivore casual tourist. The typical plates in restaurants offer small protein portions with plenty of cheap carbs like rice, beans, potatoes, plantains, bread, tortillas. Sometimes the whole fish may suffice. That being said, I still miss pinto and so many of the fresh fruits.

Mike, it's the same on both sides. No one on the medias left is talking about Trump constantly confusing Nacy Pelosi and Nikki Haley or Biden and Obama, which happens all the time. Many of his statements are downright incoherent. I'm not trying to defend Biden, I a registered independent and I think he's done a piss poor job, but everyone on the left acts like Trump is some kind of saviour and doesn't have these same issues.

Super thanks!

Eat real food. Notice the lack of heavily processed foods and sugars? That is key. Have a great weekend Michael.

Jairo is legit. Everything went well and will definitely rent cars from him again. Thank you.

I had great success with eating low carb but not strictly carnivore when I lived in Costa Rica. I did it because I am diabetic and wanted to be as independent from meds as possible while I was there. Within two months I was off meds completely and without even trying the weight started dropping off. My routine in the morning was coffee, a three egg omelet with diced onion, chili dulce, and chorizo, local queso blanco, and sriracha. Then about 2-3 in the afternoon I would have homemade soup or stew, or a salad or sandwich. I ate as much as I wanted when I was hungry, but found myself getting hungry less often. It was the easiest eating plan I've ever tried. Over time I've become convinced that any dietary plan can be an improvement when the first step is to eliminate overly processed convenience foods.

You eat liver? Very nutrient dense.

Great video. Especially for us retirees 😀👍

Himalayan salt, lemon water super good

100% lard is the best 👌 No seed oils please

✌🏻🤘🏻👊🏻

I keep it super, super simple. You could add way more variety to keep it interesting like salmon and pork. I do have ground beef mixed with bacon and avocado once a week for dinner but mostly it's rib eyes for me. If you are also doing carnivore, give examples of your meals in the comments it will help other folks who may be interested.

I have been in Costa Rica for less than 24 hours and this is by far the worst travel experience I have had in my life with the highest level of dishonesty I have ever encountered and everything is expensive, like Miami expensive and people have just not been friendly and I have been almost robbed on the street twice. The number of people here who lack morals seems higher than in other countries and to give an example of overcharging, I was charged $30USD for two pieces of chicken and two bags of nachos which cost around $4 if the people were honest. I am seriously considering flying out of this country tomorrow. I cannot stand dishonesty and thievery and I have lived in half of Latin America and never experienced anything like this, the absolute WORST experience I have had in Latin America. I might try the coast, but if it's the same there, I will leave and never come back. Less than 24 hours and San Jose, Costa Rica is scam city for sure. Is there a reason people here lack morals to such a degree?

Third world country, First world prices & i shave my head and looked like a Taco!

What are the best places to visit along the beach area ?

Hi, can i get charlies info please?

Mike… Costa Rica goes with the term Pura Vida… talking about American politics in this time and age causes division and loss of friendships and even some sense of relationships…. Religion and politics should never be talked about in this platform… the existential threat is division…

I agree with you 100%, because of the U.S. lunacy, Im embarking towards C.R. very-very soon. :) Thank you for all you do for us! xoxo

Hi Brenda! Nice video, hope things are going smoothly!

Im wondering if you were to do a low carb high plant based protein diet if you wouldnt get the same results. Ive been using mostly pea protein and have been losing weight and becoming leaner that way. Unfortunately due to recenly diagnosed heart disease in March and triple bypass surgery May 22, Im not able to eat meat, dairy, or anything with saturated fat in it. Im now convinced its 90% genetic though as I was living a pretty clean life, never smoked, havent had a drink in 33 years, but yet developed blocked arteries you would expect to see in somepne 30 years older. My father died of blocked arteries at 53 and my mother at 67.

So Donald Trump is the answer, Oh my God, anyone who thinks highly of him or would vote for him has got to be insane, Joe is a old dude with obvious issues, Harris laughs to much, never seen Trump laugh, never!!! "You can fool some people sometimes, But you can't fool everybody all the time, Get up stand up!! PEACE!!!

Great video, thanks to you all! "What do you do in Costa Rica?" is one of the questions that I'm asked most often. Well, I live daily life - I work remotely, take care of family and home, serve the dog, participate in my church, take language classes, and enjoy social and community events. Things take longer to do here, but it's all very much worth it. I am grateful for this adventure! 🙂
