Transcripts

back home in Seattle and as you can see

the weather is absolutely gorgeous the

wedding day is in less than 7 days so

today I'm really making sure that I get

all of the details making sure the

guests are taking care of all of that

done I have about 30 minutes of free

time so I'm just going to sit outside

enjoy this beautiful weather if you live

in Seattle you know to really cherish

good weather here and talk about

something that has really been on my

mind I wouldn't say that it has been

bothering me per se but it's definitely

been on my mind and I really do feel

like I should speak up about it and

bring attention on it so that you guys

can hear it and share your thoughts

because that's how we as a community can

improve get better and be more

supportive of each other you may relate

to this you may not but either way I

would love to hear your thoughts your

opinions so basically what I'm referring

to is just a lot of people in the

community lately shaming guilt tripping

criticizing others who are not 100% pure

carnivore or 100% animal-based to me

carnivore is 100% animal foods but there

are Exceptions there animal-based is

pretty much most of your diet is animal

foods but you also can enjoy some fruit

some honey but it's mostly animal Foods

I'm seeing a lot on social media and on

my own posts and my own comment sections

of people really nitpicking and

criticizing when I share anything that

is not strict carnivore I will share

with you the exact examples of what has

been going on lately so I'll put up this

post this is a recent post that I posted

while I was in California I was there

for about a week to hang out with my

family celebrate my 28th birthday I

shared just a typical day of eating when

traveling in that reel as you can see I

clearly share a bunch of delicious

Carnival Foods sushimi steak raw dairy

my favorite go-tos when I'm there and

also some black coffee here's what I eat

in a day as a carnivore in La after my

usual faster workout I had a sushimi

breakfast at yamas I got fresh salmon

Hamachi and iara with some black coffee

as my drink something about eating raw

seafood just makes you feel so light and

energetic I got in 12,000 steps

exploring LA and picked up my favorite

Rock Air from rawar I was hungry at 9:00

p.m. so I cooked up dinner of bone and

ribeye raw cheese raw yogurt on the side

what did you eat today I got this

carnivore saying you ain't carnivore if

you drink coffee and a couple days

before that also in California I shared

a real basically the best carnivore hack

if you live in California on how to

order the juiciest cheapest carnivore

meal for on the- go and that's

in-n-out's puppy patties if you don't

know about their puppy patties and you

go to In-N-Out you're missing out so I'm

going to play the real so you guys can

learn the hack first did you know that

if you order puppy patties at any

In-N-Out Burger they will make you the

juiciest patties with no salt and no

seed oils for just over a doll each this

is my go-to quick bite when I'm visiting

California I ordered 10 puppy patties

for just 13 Bucks have you tried this so

if you saw saw that I shared the receipt

to show exactly how much it cost and

what I ordered you can also see if you

look closely that under the puppy

patties I ordered a strawberry shake and

oh my gosh the comment section went

absolutely bananas there were people

that were making assumptions like

confirming that I have in fact been

lying and have been enjoying strawberry

smoothies this whole time others were

genuinely curious who the strawberry

shake was for I replied saying that it

was for my fiance steak and butter if

you don't know this by now steak and

butter guy is not fully carnivore every

time I share about what he's eating or

every time I do recipe videos I make it

very clear that he is more animal-based

than carnivore I got so many DMS story

replies saying that oh busted I can't

believe you would allow your partner to

eat such junk that you would support him

saying it out loud I have to say it just

sounds incredibly unnecessary for people

to actually take their time to comment

these things even the coffee thing where

I share about my carnivore diet what

works for me what I enjoy what I drink

every single time I talk about Black

Coffee people saying you're not fully

carnivore if you're drinking coffee this

is exactly what I want to speak up about

us as a carnivore community and even

just the general meat eating Community

because animal-based is seriously

growing like crazy we can all do better

when watching content on our phones and

our laptops to instead of just jumping

onto judging shaming and actually taking

the time and energy to type it out and

post it publicly take a minute to just

understand that hey this person that I'm

watching on my phone right now may not

be in the same exact place in their

Journey as I am they may not have the

same goals they may not have the same

lifestyle and preferences and I don't

necessarily have to insert my opinion

and judgment if I don't agree with them

another good example is I've been

sharing a lot about my fitness journey

and about my body recomposition journey

and today is officially day 31 by the

way of my fitness journey and I've been

getting more and more comments of people

telling me that I am looking way too

skinny that I need to gain weight that I

need to stop trying to lose weight every

time I see these comments I always make

a dedicated story sharing if you don't

like what you see if you don't agree

with what I choose to do for my fitness

goals and body you can always always

scroll keep scrolling scroll on by so

these are just a few examples of what

I've been dealing with pretty much on

the daily because I choose to share a

little bit more about my journey now I'm

starting to share more than just

carnivore I'm sharing about Fitness and

I'm sharing about my body goals and my

body progress so every time I do share

progress photos or little updates there

will always be these types of DMS and

comments criticizing what I'm doing

trying to correct me I will never

understand how people will actively take

the time and energy to send these things

off to other people and post it publicly

because for me my whole thought process

is whether or not someone in front of me

or someone that I live with my own

partner chooses to eat the way that I

eat it is completely out of my control

and the last thing that I will ever do

is judge someone for how they eat like

my fiance and I'll just tell you just

how far he's come with how he chooses to

eat and with his whole diet when I first

met him in New York I was I think maybe

1 year in in and I was already feeling

the incredible benefits well I meet

steak and butter guy and he sees me

eating the mountains and mountains of

fatty meat and I'm eating like 12 eggs 3

lbs of meat in front of him no

vegetables yes he thought I was crazy

yes he asked me every single day are you

sure about this lifestyle are you sure

this is not going to cause issues down

the line are you sure you're not

clogging your arteries and obviously he

was saying this out of concern I let him

eat whatever he wanted to eat and I

minded my own business with food and I

ate whatever I wanted to eat when I was

doing meetings in the steak and butter

gang doing doctor q&as with all of my

favorite carnivore doctors he would be

listening in and he would be hearing all

of the amazing nsvs the testimonials the

lifechanging benefits that the carnival

diet was giving to all of the members in

the steak and butter gang he was also

hearing just how inspiring intelligent

and encouraging these doctors were when

they were in the guest Q&A over time he

naturally had this curiosity come about

him and he came to me and he said I want

to try carnivore and that was day one of

a healthier hym in real life if you

actually want your loved ones to go

carnivore if you actually want to

convince someone to go carnivore the

only way in my opinion is to show it

with your own journey I know for a fact

that I would have turned off steak and

butter guy from ever considering

carnivore if I verbally berated him by

saying oh my gosh you're killing

yourself eating that strawberry

milkshake or that strawberry ice cream

or that burger and french fry meal doing

those things would have completely shut

him off from wanting to even try the

lifestyle and unfortunately I'm seeing a

lot of people do that exact thing on

social media in our own meat eating

community and also on my own posts so

that's exactly why I want to bring

attention to it shed some light on this

situation because I am looking out for

all of the new carnivores the people who

are just entering this carnivore

Community we can all do better than to

shame anyone and everyone who oh my God

is drinking coffee or eating a little

fruit here and there or eating a full-on

salad who cares as long as people are

truly opening up their mind about the

fact that hey meat is actually not going

to kill you eating red meat every day

and animal fats every day is actually

good for you this is the progress we

should be cheering on as a the meat

eating Community the last thing that I

want to happen especially with the

carnival Community growing so big and so

fast and so strong is someone who's new

and curious about carnivore enters the

community they're on social media they

start sharing about their journey and

the community starts berading them or

shaming them and they may choose to stop

sharing that is not a win that's

actually a loss even if you have zero

followers when you share about your

carnivore experience your own

testimonial by eating more meat you will

reach people and that's opening up the

general population's mind to the truth

about meat eating meat and its relation

to our health our mental health I mean

that's certainly why I try to post

everywhere as much as possible things

that have been changing my life

featuring other people's stories how

their lives have also been changed

thanks to eating meat at the end of the

day I really don't think we should be

honing in on criticizing and shaming

people for not being one 100% pure

carnivore I think a lot of us start

getting a little bit snobby and stuck up

and almost have this whole feeling of

like oh I'm better than you I think we

can all do better to focus on the bigger

picture okay and that is seeing all the

people that are changing their lives for

the better by eating the right Foods

even if that means a diet with black

coffee every day with honey with fruits

with salads heck with an In-N-Out

strawberry shake here and there that is

still a 100 times better than that

person eating a standard American diet

filled with refined sugar seed oils

Gluten ingredients that we can't even

pronounce every single day and if you

disagree with what you're seeing on your

phone or how somebody else is eating

okay keep scrolling scroll on by so yeah

that's about it for today's thoughts

candid conversation I know maybe on the

verge of just ranting a bit if you was

to the end right now I would absolutely

love your thoughts on this have you

experienced what I shared in this video

and if so how did it make you feel what

did you do about it and if you have any

solutions on how we can all do better

share your thoughts Down Below in the

comments speaking of being supportive of

each other if you are new to this

lifestyle and you would love for some

accountability some support and some

help along your carnivore Journey this

is exactly why I created my community

the steak and butter gang since day one

the motto of the steak and butter gang

is that it is a safe haven for everyone

and anyone who wants to get healthy

through eating meat so we have tons of

carnivores in there as expected but also

a lot of Keto dieters keto Wares

animal-based eaters the steak and butter

gang is definitely hands down probably

the most open-minded welcoming Community

there is especially if you are carnivore

or you want to be a carnivore I do

30-day challenges in there every single

month you'll get access to my team of

fantastic carnivore coaches they have

five six seven years of carnivore under

cramping headaches just lower energy

these could all be signs of an

electrolyte imbalance electrolyte

imbalance happens a lot when you are

still adapting to this lifestyle and

this does apply to people who are coming

from a keto diet as well going full full

carnivore and eating only animal Foods

it is normal to experience these types

of symptoms a quick solution is to just

salt all of your meals a little bit more

generously obviously use a high quality

salt instead of table salt if that

doesn't do the trick you can also just

lean on a very high quality electrolyte

supplement this is the one that I always

recommend it is from the brand element

lmnt specifically this teal colored box

labeled raw unflavored I always

recommend this one because there isn't

any Stevia no extra flavorings it's

literally just the ingredients and the

electrolytes that we need sodium
