 Everyone you think you know it all and you have all the answers and you've proven that they work you still make mistakes on a low-carb keto carnivore diet Hey there njroute22.com here with another low-carb keto carnivore chat and again I may have technical issues with my my video production here. I'm working through it I need to produce videos three times a week and It may be out of focus the green screen may be messed up. I'm working out the details I just don't have time to there's no instruction manual on my set of equipment on how to do this properly, but anyway I want to talk about The low-carb life I think I have most of the answers and I and I feel very much in control of my diet and my health When it comes to body composition and food consumption and liquid consumption But I make mistakes and we're all human and you know we we're obviously not Perfectionists and we can't score a hundred percent on every life test thrown our way So in this case I want to talk about some of the mistakes. I made and I think it's good to get them out in the open I'll tell you what mistakes. I don't make anymore. I don't eat bread. I don't eat any really anything Bad for you Like fast food or anything like that I've really stayed away from it and my my weight is steadily getting better and better and better and better I may hit some plateaus every now and then down the road, but I'm doing okay, and I Here let me talk about some of the mistakes I've made now alcohol I've pretty much switched directly to This the not the low-carb seltzers those I found are the least Problematic and I think eventually drinking should be wiped out completely honestly It's there's really no benefit, but I that I'm working on one thing at a time here, and that's a pretty lame excuse, but the other day I had a craving for beer and Obviously, I think I mentioned that there's three different kinds of buzzes I've been able to identify with alcohol consumption, and that's the happy buzz you get from a beer It's a very quick hitting buzz the first beer. I always feel a buzz and then there's the angry Buzz that you get from the hard liquor in my opinion at least you're fine And then all of a sudden you hit a wall the hard liquor just hits you pretty damn fast And I don't like that anymore That's why I rarely I had a splash of vodka some of my drinks occasionally to raise the octane, but And then there's wine which was for a long time the best of both worlds It was a pretty decent buzz. I wasn't like jumping jumping for joy But I also wasn't angry and it was a good buzz until I found out that I just didn't like that the impurities in wine And after years of drinking wine, I said no And that's why but I switched I bought a four pack of Guinness beer the other day And I sucked them down like really fast. I think four beers in an hour and I Really enjoy I missed the the sensation of beer, but I don't feel good drinking wheat-based beer and I Don't think it's worth it. I'm gonna stay with my my seltzers. Those always have proven to be rock solid and Another thing that I'm finding out now And these are mistakes. I'm making and I'm discovering via experience the regardless of what the package says I think almost all packaged food anything meant to be stable on the shelf for more than a day is Just not good for you Case in point. I had some nitro a coffee cold brew nitro coffee And again, it said oh it was all natural But I felt like crap and almost any time I eat a packaged good of some kind that is meant It's either a vacuum sealed or in a can or a bag or a box. I don't feel good So I'm really gonna pretty much try my best to bat a thousand on not eating any packaged foods I guess some exceptions. I might make or maybe a spice pack for Chili or something like that But even then you never know they put all sorts of additives and anti-caking agents in them So I think the spices and flavorings. I'm slowly phasing out and just eating the raw the raw Just basic one ingredient plus sea salt foods And here's another thing. I guess this falls under the packaged foods category. It's nuts of any kind Peanuts are some of the worst things. I don't really eat peanuts anymore peanuts were There I think they're a little inflammatory and you end up eating too many of them. They're very addictive They you can't just eat a couple and then I switched over to like cashews and Omens were we're also a good Are a good choice. I like toasting the almonds I I tossed them in coconut oil and I put a Keeping man to sea salt and I toast them until they're brown and that that's a really good snack I may keep that one in the rotation, but pistachios in particular. I found myself in the last two months I think I bought maybe three bags of them and they were gone in short order a week or less That I find myself just eating them and you can just open up the shells open up the shells And they just you just can't stop eating them And then maybe it's because I think I got one that was more than just salted it was salt and pepper But whatever the case is if you find yourself eating almost mindlessly and non-stop, then there's something wrong with them So and they say macadamias are not nuts. There's some other kind of You know Category But I'm not a really big fan of macadamias and those are very high in fat and good And they do satiate you so maybe maybe in the future I'll buy a little thing of macadamia is to keep on hand You pop like one or two and that's good enough and usually Satiates you if you're hungry, but luckily if you're doing low carb keto carnivore, right? You really rarely are that raging hunger and lastly Sweets in general I've mentioned this many times in the past and I'm going to mention it more times in the future But I think sweets Just the sweet sensation is not something you want to put in your mouth because it changes it changes your whole Mindset and everything that's going on it like sends a shock to your your nervous system And even if it's a xylitol or rithritol or monk fruit I think that the sweet sensation is something that should be avoided and it always Sends me for a loop so I'm I've been experimenting with the low carb like rithritol ice cream That I make with heavy cream and a few drops of vanilla Maybe I'll throw a handful of strawberries in or or something and it never tastes as good as the old ice cream did Back in the day and and you end up eating a lot of it It's a really really tough nut to crack. I'm almost done cracking the nut But I think sweets the short term Benefit does not outweigh what happens afterward cumulatively, so I think they're just going to be gone So that my whole point is like even though we know what is good for us and what isn't We still make these mistakes, and I and I'm not I don't feel guilty or remorseful about making those mistakes I think experience is a much greater teacher than reading about them whether it's you know, you read about it and you put it to the test and you vet out your theories or you Just act like a human being and you make mistakes and that furthers Like I knew that a lot of these things that I ate and drank were not good for me But I I I became weak or I just slipped up for a minute didn't think it was gonna be a big deal But then when you realize you feel what happened when you make those mistakes You're less likely to make the mistakes again in the future because there certainly wasn't any Upside benefit to the mistakes I made it's not like oh man. That was such a good mistake. I make I think I'm gonna make it again No, I wouldn't be making this video if that was the case. I wouldn't tell anybody I would just make the mistakes and go fail somewhere far out of out of sight So that's it. I really think that And I'm sure I'll come back in a couple months with more mistakes that I can discover or that I'll make by accident and I'm not certainly not trying to make any mistakes at all, but You know the alcohol it's gonna be the next one once we've really really cracked it maybe in about a year I'm going to start the getting rid of the alcohol all together So have a good week ahead and I hope your low-carb keto carnivore journey goes smooth
