play00:00

welcome back to my channel my name is

play00:02

Laura this is going to be a good

play00:04

old-fashioned like what I eat in a week

play00:06

I'm gonna try to show you as many meals

play00:08

that I eat on a carnivore diet as

play00:10

possible the way that I eat carnivore

play00:12

may not be stripped enough for you and

play00:14

it's too strange for other people but

play00:16

it's really just what works for me and

play00:18

for our family I have been eating this

play00:20

way for five and a half years and things

play00:22

have slightly evolved over the years but

play00:24

I would say it's probably been three

play00:26

years now that like I'm just in a really

play00:28

good groove of eating what works for me

play00:30

and I'm just gonna show you what that is

play00:32

this week

play00:33

sometimes I go down a rabbit hole of

play00:35

like showing you recipes and techniques

play00:36

and I will try to link everything down

play00:38

below that I have filmed previously but

play00:39

the goal of this video is just to show

play00:41

you as many meals as possible very

play00:44

realistic outlook on what I eat in a

play00:46

week so that's what we're gonna do

play00:49

Sunday lunch is always like a lot

play00:51

fancier it's usually a little bigger

play00:53

deal we'll usually smoke something or go

play00:55

nuts but today we are doing rib eyes and

play00:58

some crispy pork belly you will notice a

play01:01

theme I always have two different Meats

play01:03

on my plate it just gives me variety and

play01:04

makes it interesting so I'm gonna add

play01:06

some melted butter to the top it's gonna

play01:09

melt and make this delicious sauce on

play01:12

top of my ribeye and then we have a

play01:14

pinch pot of some really coarse flaky

play01:17

salt we season the steaks when we eat

play01:19

them but on the table I use like a flaky

play01:23

regular salt and Chris is always using

play01:25

this one that has a smoked uh salt we

play01:28

gotta refill it it has a smoked salt in

play01:30

it just as a finishing salt and I'll

play01:33

link everything down below but some

play01:36

fatty tender ribeye and some super

play01:39

crispy airfryer pork belly

play01:42

Chris brought me an apron to eat because

play01:44

he knows I haven't changed since church

play01:46

yet

play01:47

I'm gonna probably spill steak cheese

play01:49

all over myself thanks man

play01:52

he's the one target laundry

play01:55

so this is really stuff

play01:56

self-preservation saving him work later

play01:59

of getting out stains when I spill

play02:00

something

play02:01

most days I'm eating two meals a day

play02:03

whether that's breakfast and lunch or

play02:05

lunch and dinner really just depends on

play02:06

my schedule and you'll see that

play02:08

throughout the week some days like today

play02:10

I'm able to strategically get enough fat

play02:13

and protein in one meal and so this will

play02:15

be my only meal for the day personally

play02:17

though I can't eat one meal a day every

play02:20

day or I end up under eating over time

play02:22

usually Sundays is the only day where I

play02:25

plan ahead and make sure that I get

play02:26

enough at once for it to be my only meal

play02:34

since I work from home and the kids are

play02:37

homeschooled and Chris is a stay-at-home

play02:38

dad like everybody's home all the time

play02:40

but the benefit of that is we get to

play02:42

have a family sit down lunch every day

play02:44

where Chris usually grills something

play02:45

today he actually smoked a couple of

play02:47

racks of pork ribs we've been trying to

play02:50

replicate the ones that we had in

play02:52

Memphis a couple of weeks ago we even

play02:53

bought the rub that we've been using

play02:54

that doesn't have any sugar in it so

play02:57

today we are doing some pork ribs which

play02:59

I'm super excited to have these look

play03:01

really good and juicy and then we just

play03:03

grilled some burger patties to go along

play03:05

with it just to give us a little bit of

play03:07

variety

play03:08

I also grabbed some pickles to eat with

play03:10

my burger patty

play03:11

dinner is one of those meals at our

play03:13

house that we try to make as easy simple

play03:15

as possible for you this might be lunch

play03:16

and most people do like a big sit down

play03:18

dinner Chris never eats lunch I mean

play03:21

never eats dinner I eat dinner about

play03:23

half the time and the kids usually eat

play03:26

something small that's like mainly

play03:27

protein because they're getting home

play03:28

after jiu jitsu and then they go to bed

play03:30

shortly so lunch is our big family meal

play03:32

every day and dinner it's just whatever

play03:35

we could find I'm gonna make you some

play03:37

marinara sauce and ground beef and make

play03:39

the kids spaghetti bowls I'm not in the

play03:42

mood for something hot or like a bunch

play03:44

of ground beef right now so I had made

play03:47

some loaded chicken salad I will link

play03:49

the recipe down below I love this I use

play03:52

I eat this like I made one can this is

play03:54

one can worth and it's a huge amount and

play03:56

I will eat this in like two or three

play03:58

different small meals this week I eat it

play04:00

with a spoon you know what I thought of

play04:02

today I just got back from the grocery

play04:03

store I should have bought some deli

play04:05

meat like some ham or some roast beef or

play04:07

something or turkey even and then put

play04:09

this

play04:10

in the wrap

play04:12

and rolled it up and had like a wrap

play04:14

with it but I didn't think of that I'm

play04:16

gonna use pork rinds I bought some chili

play04:19

lime pork rinds I like the 4505 tahin

play04:22

ones also but

play04:25

yeah these are the rib rack ones I get

play04:27

these at Sprouts and they are super

play04:29

clean especially for being flavored

play04:32

um but other than that yeah I'm really

play04:33

sweaty I did our

play04:35

my tanning salon that's nearby has a new

play04:39

red light therapy bed so I went and did

play04:41

10 minutes in the red light bed which

play04:43

I've never done if you guys do red light

play04:44

regularly and find Value in it let me

play04:46

know because I've never really done it

play04:48

before

play04:51

um and I'm excited just to try to do it

play04:53

whenever I'm not traveling to try to do

play04:54

it every once in a while and then I went

play04:57

to the sauna for 30 minutes got a little

play04:59

sweat in and yeah now I'm prepping

play05:02

dinner for the kids I'm gonna eat this

play05:04

myself really quick and then we have a

play05:06

pet snake and today is feeding day so

play05:08

I'm thawing a mouse don't worry I'm not

play05:10

going to show you and I'm thawing a

play05:12

mouse for the snake for here so protein

play05:14

all around for everybody in this bath

play05:16

house this evening

play05:18

okay look at that

play05:19

I put a lot of bacon in today ever since

play05:21

I discovered those bacon crumbles from

play05:23

Costco or Sam's Club like just the big

play05:25

bag of bacon bits I'm throwing those

play05:27

things in everything so so good

play05:39

I am up bright and early today

play05:41

uh twice a week when I'm not traveling

play05:43

I've been meeting some friends at the

play05:45

gym for a 5 30

play05:47

workout class which comes bright and

play05:49

early but it seems to be the only time

play05:51

that I can actually like make it happen

play05:53

and I love that like class environment

play05:55

so I am

play05:58

having some electrolytes

play06:00

uh and that's it and then we're gonna go

play06:02

hit the gym if you want to try the

play06:04

electrolytes that I use they are the

play06:07

sponsor of this video and they actually

play06:08

have a deal for all my subscribers where

play06:09

you can go to drinkelement.com

play06:11

lauraspath uh they are magnesium sodium

play06:15

and potassium I use the unflavored

play06:16

version which just has literally those

play06:18

three ingredients and then also when

play06:20

he's fasting Chris uses the flavored

play06:22

versions which have Stevia like the kids

play06:24

love the chocolate version so does Chris

play06:26

they'll Crystal put his in his coffee I

play06:28

personally can tell the difference when

play06:29

I'm not drinking element because I'll

play06:31

wake up in the middle of the night with

play06:32

some kind of leg cramps we think about

play06:33

it ancestrally like we used to drink

play06:35

water from a stream and it was like

play06:37

natural and had all these minerals in it

play06:39

and now everything is just like overly

play06:41

filtered in any water that we're

play06:43

drinking is kind of stripped of all of

play06:45

that good stuff so adding some

play06:47

electrolytes and these minerals that we

play06:48

were missing back into our water can be

play06:50

really beneficial

play06:53

yeah

play06:55

I just took the one hour weightlifting

play06:58

Body Pump class my arms and legs are

play07:01

Jello I missed them last week because I

play07:03

was trawling so I could tell my body did

play07:05

not work out last week and then I sat in

play07:08

the sauna afterwards on the days that

play07:10

I've been working out I had tried to

play07:12

wait until lunch but number one I just

play07:13

get too hungry after taking this class

play07:15

that I was just like ravishing in the

play07:18

mornings and then also I noticed I was a

play07:20

lot more fatigued from not getting like

play07:21

protein I've been up since you know 4 30

play07:24

it's

play07:25

almost 7 30 right now and then waiting

play07:28

all the way until lunch is a really long

play07:29

time for my body to not have protein to

play07:31

recover from what I just

play07:33

um this intense exercise so I have been

play07:36

incorporating breakfast on the two

play07:38

mornings a week that I go

play07:40

um to the gym so I have four eggs I did

play07:43

a quarter cup of bacon crumbles and then

play07:47

about a quarter cup of shredded cheese

play07:49

and that is gonna be my breakfast this

play07:53

morning

play07:54

so

play07:58

lunch today was seriously the best meal

play08:01

I have had in so long we did flanking

play08:04

cut beef ribs which are also sometimes

play08:06

called like cross-cut beef ribs they are

play08:09

so fatty and have so much delicious

play08:12

chewy collagen on them we grill them hot

play08:15

and fast like some people do them in the

play08:17

oven or the air fryer like long and slow

play08:19

but we love to do them like super high

play08:22

heat on the grill blast them with a

play08:24

blowtorch give them a nice Char but keep

play08:26

a medium rare on the inside they were so

play08:29

good I have not had those in a long time

play08:31

and I don't remember why so we're

play08:33

bringing those back into the rotation

play08:35

and then we paired with it some chicken

play08:37

knowing that these beef ribs were going

play08:39

to be like really really fatty we

play08:41

whipped out some chicken thighs and just

play08:45

put those on the smoker ideally they

play08:46

would have been done in the oven or the

play08:48

air fryer but the AC went out in our

play08:49

house today it's Arizona we've been

play08:52

working really hard to try to keep the

play08:54

house cool and so until that's fixed

play08:57

hopefully tomorrow

play08:58

and so we didn't want to use the oven or

play09:00

the air fryer to heat those up again but

play09:02

chicken thighs flanking cut ribs and

play09:05

then I knocked it out that was breakfast

play09:06

lunch no dinner for me today so I

play09:09

finished my lunch uh around noon and

play09:11

then I will do 24 hours fasting until

play09:13

lunch tomorrow it is lunch time Chris is

play09:17

outside grilling for all of us and I

play09:20

just got off of a work call he is making

play09:22

pork Souvlaki which is we took some pork

play09:24

chops and Cubed them up into skewers and

play09:27

put on some lemon juice a little greek

play09:29

seasoning and then I will sprinkle feta

play09:32

cheese on top of it which I feel like

play09:33

just makes it feel like light and fresh

play09:35

for the summer and that's all I'm gonna

play09:37

have and this Nathaniel will eat that

play09:39

with me and then Chris and Penelope are

play09:41

going to have some pecanha steaks

play09:44

normally I might have had like a steak

play09:46

to go with my pork but I'm meeting a

play09:47

friend for dinner later and figured I

play09:49

would just keep it a little bit smaller

play09:50

for lunch plus I'm going to be having

play09:52

beef later so I figured I'd stick with

play09:54

pork I am giving myself a little

play09:56

appetizer of that loaded chicken salad

play09:59

that I made the other day and just

play10:01

having like a few bites before we sit

play10:02

down for lunch

play10:06

play10:09

play11:01

today

play11:04

whooped me I went to the gym and now I'm

play11:07

gonna eat some breakfast and try to

play11:08

shower nor I can't like walk in from the

play11:11

gym and shower because I'm already too

play11:12

hot and sweaty so I have to like cool

play11:13

down and eat something first

play11:15

um and I'll eat breakfast with the kids

play11:17

I'm gonna have this ham for breakfast

play11:20

today hand may not be clean enough for

play11:22

you and your goals and whatever it is

play11:24

that you're working towards I love it

play11:25

occasionally it's like a fun change in

play11:27

the morning I picked up this ham from

play11:28

Costco it had I looked for one that had

play11:30

this really big nice fat cap on it

play11:33

um and then four hams I just try to

play11:35

watch the grams of carbs and make sure

play11:38

it's not like honey glazed this one is

play11:40

clean enough for me but obviously do you

play11:42

I have a meat slicer but it's such a

play11:45

to get it out and

play11:47

clean it even though Chris cleans it but

play11:49

like it's just a pain so I'm just gonna

play11:50

like cut myself off a chunk and fry it

play11:53

in the skillet and then make some

play11:55

scrambled eggs sometimes I mix cheese in

play11:58

with my eggs so today I'm not going to

play12:00

because for lunch I know I'm gonna have

play12:02

a bunch of sour cream so just

play12:04

I don't cut out Dairy I just try to pick

play12:06

and choose when I have it so we're gonna

play12:08

do some ham and eggs for breakfast

play12:13

okay super simple five minute breakfast

play12:16

um I did three eggs today only because

play12:18

that's a really hunk of ham

play12:21

um and yeah I'll be set to lunch today

play12:24

for lunch we are going to have what is

play12:25

referred to in this house as mom's

play12:27

favorite meal which is basically just

play12:30

like carnivore fajitas

play12:32

a little bit of everything uh we do some

play12:35

chicken thighs which are just boneless

play12:37

skinless chicken thighs that I cut up

play12:38

and then I seasoned them today with the

play12:41

Redmond Real Salt taco seasoning give a

play12:44

little Mexican food because I love

play12:45

Mexican food so this is my way of like

play12:48

getting that craving in throw a little

play12:50

shrimp on just enough to like have as an

play12:52

appetizer or like to put on as a side

play12:56

I'm just seasoning this with some garlic

play12:58

salt from Redmond's and then I have a

play13:02

little bit of butter here that I will

play13:03

throw on like right at the end I don't

play13:05

want to cook it in butter the whole time

play13:07

because that'll burn but I'm gonna throw

play13:09

it on right at the end just to give it

play13:11

that like good butter flavor and then

play13:14

this big piece of beef in the middle is

play13:17

called flap meat which we get it from

play13:19

Costco it's really similar to a skirt

play13:21

steak it's just probably I would say a

play13:22

little more tender but look how good and

play13:24

marbled that is normally we would do

play13:27

about double that amount of chicken but

play13:30

think we're I didn't realize we had not

play13:33

enough left in the freezer this time so

play13:35

Chris is going to throw on a couple of

play13:36

steaks as well just to give a little

play13:39

more food and then the four of us

play13:41

um Nathaniel and I probably will crush

play13:43

that amount of chicken together and

play13:44

normally Chris would have had a pile of

play13:46

chicken that we would split with the

play13:48

beef so

play13:49

beef fajitas uh Chicken shrimp and then

play13:54

the beef we pretty much all beef ever

play13:56

seasoned with adobo and smoked paprika

play14:01

you could do this in a cast iron skillet

play14:03

or even on a regular Grill but this is

play14:05

that meal that I love on our outdoor

play14:07

flat top griddle and so I will cook

play14:09

everything in ghee and then like I said

play14:13

I'll throw on that butter like right at

play14:14

the end just for the shrimp

play14:31

okay this is why it's my absolute

play14:34

favorite meal I have some fatty

play14:36

delicious beef shrimp chicken a little

play14:40

salt

play14:41

and I'm going to dip everything in some

play14:42

sour cream so good

play14:52

there you go there

play14:53

the perfect bite

play14:55

I had breakfast and lunch and I'll skip

play14:58

dinner so that gives me after this meal

play15:00

a 24 hour fast until lunch the next day

play15:02

this kitchen is chaos

play15:05

oh we are doing a beef tri-tip today

play15:08

that is on the smoker and then Chris is

play15:10

going to finish it on the grill and then

play15:11

we're actually having chicken breast

play15:13

which I don't even know when was the

play15:15

last time we had chicken breast it's

play15:16

been a while yeah I think these were

play15:18

left in the freezer from when Chris does

play15:21

like every once in a while he'll do like

play15:22

a couple really lean days and then

play15:23

that's it

play15:25

um we had no chicken thighs or chicken

play15:27

wings so we took some chicken breasts

play15:29

and marinated it in Italian seasoning a

play15:32

little avocado oil

play15:34

uh minced garlic is that it

play15:38

and salt and then we will put them on

play15:40

skewers and

play15:43

put some Parmesan cheese on top so we're

play15:44

almost doing like our pork nuggets

play15:46

recipe but we're gonna do chicken breast

play15:48

it would probably be juicier and tastier

play15:50

with thighs but we got what we got

play15:57

good right yeah

play16:01

first of all look at that that's gonna

play16:03

be so good

play16:10

cool that's gonna be so good

play16:12

okay look at this incredible meal we

play16:15

have this beautiful tri-tip and then

play16:17

some actually I'm kind of excited to eat

play16:19

this chicken breast we haven't had

play16:21

either one of these things in so long if

play16:23

you're ever feeling bored on Carnivore

play16:24

just think about

play16:25

what kind of meats haven't you had in a

play16:27

while mix it up a little bit

play16:29

oh look at that don't overcook your

play16:31

chicken

play16:32

I'm gonna put some flaky salt on top

play16:35

and some butter if you eat your

play16:38

chimichurri would be really good on it

play16:39

or some kind of I usually throw feta on

play16:42

it but

play16:43

it's about perfect for today

play16:46

perfection

play16:51

this might be my favorite meal all week

play16:52

look at that that chicken is so juicy

play16:57

and this is so good

play16:59

that's a bunch of butter on top

play17:01

I think my most asked question Lately

play17:04

from my videos has been about my freezer

play17:06

with all the drawers in it and it makes

play17:08

me so happy that you guys nerd out on

play17:10

like freezer organization like I do it

play17:13

is the Hamilton Beach brand and I got it

play17:15

at the Costco business center but I have

play17:16

seen it recently at regular Costco's my

play17:19

brother found one in his Costco so I've

play17:20

seen them sporadically at various

play17:23

Costco's around the country so you got

play17:24

to keep it out it was like 349

play17:27

unbelievable deal and then I can

play17:29

organize it by like chickens ground beef

play17:31

you know steaks and pork and like it

play17:34

goes seven drawers I'm obsessed

play17:37

um

play17:39

but the point of this for dinner tonight

play17:41

I am doing meatballs the bacon

play17:43

cheeseburger meatballs I freeze them

play17:45

individually and then once they're

play17:47

frozen I'll vacuum seal them together in

play17:49

about this portion like usually there's

play17:52

like nine or ten of them in here which

play17:53

is the perfect size for me to eat a

play17:56

whole pack or the kids to split a pack

play17:57

for dinner so that's what's for dinner

play17:59

tonight

play18:00

these went into the airfryer straight

play18:01

from Frozen they take like 10 or 12

play18:03

minutes like we eat these on repeat

play18:05

around here

play18:07

tomorrow is Saturday and we don't have

play18:09

any food prepped for then my guess is

play18:11

because Penelope has a jiu jitsu

play18:13

tournament we really don't know when

play18:14

we're going to get out of there we might

play18:15

actually go out to eat as a family we'll

play18:18

end up at Buffalo Wild Wings or in and

play18:20

out or some place where we all can eat

play18:21

and it's not going to be crazy expensive

play18:23

if I was in like a more serious weight

play18:27

loss mode right now everything I ate

play18:28

this week would have been exactly the

play18:29

same the only difference for me what I

play18:31

like to lever is fascinating I would

play18:33

have just skipped a day at some point or

play18:35

tomorrow because we're going to be busy

play18:36

and now and about and not home till late

play18:39

like that's a perfect day for me just to

play18:40

like Skip and fast and so when I'm in

play18:42

like weight loss mode or maintenance

play18:44

mode the only difference for me is how

play18:46

often I incorporate those fasts mainly

play18:48

because I don't want to track my food

play18:49

and I don't I just I have to enjoy what

play18:52

I'm eating otherwise I'm not going to

play18:54

stick to it and so my meals always look

play18:55

the same no matter my weight loss goals

play18:57

I just try to leverage fasting I also

play19:01

know in this video we did tons of

play19:03

grilling and that may not be an option

play19:04

for you but I linked down below all my

play19:06

other what I eat videos there's the last

play19:08

several that I did were all done indoors

play19:11

and air fryer stove oven crock pot all

play19:13

that good stuff so hopefully that gives

play19:15

you some good ideas in general that's

play19:17

all I hope for this video is that you

play19:19

got some meal ideas and you realize that

play19:21

carnivore doesn't have to be quite so

play19:22

limiting you have tons of variety it can

play19:24

be easy affordable and it really can

play19:27

work into your life however busy and

play19:29

crazy that life is

play19:33
