This video will help you understand the 15 most common carnivore diet mistakes, and avoid them.
15 Carnivore Mistakes:
Forgetting that seafood, eggs & butter are Carnivore (an animal, or produced by an animal)
Eating too lean of a diet. Eat a 2 to 1 ratio of fat to protein! (e.g. 100g fat to 50g protein)
Not getting enough electrolytes
Not getting enough Omega 3 Fatty Acids (we are eating way too much Omega 6 fatty acids) add pastured butter and pastured eggs (with yolks) to your meals; also wild-caught west coast salmon
More organ meat (or capsules) Liver is a multi-vitamin super-food!
Not getting enough collagen – NOT powder; eat the cartilage off of bones, chicken legs, etc.
Watch out for imitation seafood
Sauces, marinades, rubs and gravies – almost ALL are way bad – too much sugar / carbs / grains / oils
Eating out thoughtlessly – be up-front with your waiter; tell him/her you are allergic to many things – sugar, grains, vegetable oils, marinades, rubs, etc. – just cook it plain without anything on it or on the grill besides butter, olive or avocado oil
Quitting Carnivore too soon – it takes 4-8 weeks to really see the benefits; diarrhea or constipation or carbohydrate withdrawal is common when you first start, as your gut adjusts itself. Make sure you are adding salt and electrolytes
Eating portion-restricted meals. Eat until you are comfortably stuffed! Add egg yolks, bacon grease, tallow, fatty salmon with the skin on, etc.
Processed meat; don’t eat it unless that’s all you can afford, then if so, eat that! Much better than carbs
Salt restriction; you do NOT need to limit salt; there is no scientific studies that show salt is bad. Eat as much as you want – use a good source
Over-cooking – do not over-cook your meat! Medium-rare is excellent; get there if you aren’t there already; it may take time, but that’s ok – you’ll get MUCH more nutrients!
Taking lots of supplements; you don’t need them. Meat, butter, organ meats, etc. are nutritionally dense and excellent for you. NO fiber supplements!
