 Raw Carnivore Day of Eating. Why Carnivore? Nutrients. Vitamins, minerals, elements, and fatty acids. Animal foods contain all of the nutrients our bodies need in their most available forms. Why Raw? Ease of digestion. No tired feeling after you eat. Sometimes when you eat a large amount of cooked meat, you get a little bit lethargic feel like you need to take a nap. Some people do believe that nutrients are lost when you cook the food, but the most important thing is the initial quality of the food. Yes, you do lose a small percentage of B vitamins and some of the vitamin C, but that's not really a concern in the context of this diet. So what I'm going to show you guys today is what I've been doing for the past, I would say about two weeks. And I've been starting the day with dairy. I have fixed my dairy intolerance to some knowledge. I'm still working out some kinks trying to figure out which types of dairy I can tolerate, what amounts as well as the different animals like cow, sheep versus goat. So I don't have a definitive answer on that for you guys yet. I'll come out with something maybe a month or two from now, but I have been consuming dairy safely. I know it's been a big focus of my channel that I can't really consume it. Now, the meal that I've been starting my day with is consisting mostly of fermented dairy products. I have some raw sheep kefir. I have some raw sheep yogurt. And here I have a raw sheep cheese. I was breaking out with a little bit of acne a couple of days ago when I was consuming cow dairy, so I'm just trying to rule out if it's the sheep dairy, if it's the cow dairy. So I'm sticking just with the sheep dairy for about a week or so. In comparison to cow or goat dairy, sheep has a much higher fat content and the particles are even smaller. They're a bit easier to digest in your stomach. So if you have leaky gut or any gut microbiome and balances, sheep milk is the least inflammatory that most people have access to. Usually I have two to three cups of the kefir, I'll have a cup or two of yogurt, and if I do have cheese, cheese is something I've been doing the past week or so. The first week I was only doing kefir and yogurt. I find that the cheese satiates my appetite so much that I don't usually have as much yogurt. And the salt content of the cheese is something that I kind of need when I'm not salting my food. I need to have a little bit of salt to balance the sodium to potassium level, and I'm able to get that by just having a nice quality cheese that has a little bit of salt in it. Some of you guys might have noticed that raw cow dairy, especially from grass-fed animals, tends to be yellow, beige, and some of you guys might have even seen orange butter and cheeses. That's because of the way cows store carotene in their bodies and transfer it through the milk. Sweet milk, goat milk, buffalo milk is always stark white because those animals store the nutrients differently, but it can be just as nutrient-dense as cow's milk despite the lack of carotenoid pigmenting. If the dairy product is from a high-quality pasture-raised animal that was on nutritious grasses, the product will have all of the vitamins, minerals, and elements your body needs, and it will have fatty acids in the plant-preformed version. This is the big difference between a lot of these ruminant animals and humans. Human breast milk actually has DHA and EPA, whereas these dairy products have the plant forms that are not as conducive to brain growth, so keep in mind if you are consuming dairy products, it does help to get preformed EPA and DHA from other sources. Having said, the nutrition from dairy products seems to digest quicker than meat and fish for many people. The nutrients are very easily accessible. I notice that I get a lot more B vitamins, especially the change in how I feel, how my skin changes. The reason I'm consuming fermented foods in the morning is partially to build up my gut bacteria. It's also because fermenting a food increases the vitamin K2 content, which is very important in overall nutrient synergy. When you're consuming large amounts of vitamin A from liver, when you're growing out in the sun and tanning and getting large amounts of vitamin D3, vitamin K2 is synergistic and these nutrients work together. These foods are also high in histamine, which is a compound involved in immune response. I have an issue sleeping when I consume these fermented and high histamine foods, so by consuming the high histamine foods early on in the day, I'm giving my body 14, 16, 18 hours to clear out all of the histamines. If I'm eating these foods at 7, 8 or 9 in the morning, by the time I go to bed at 11 o'clock or midnight, I won't have an issue sleeping. That's why you guys won't see me consume any more fermented foods the rest of the day. I usually try to keep the foods fresh. I usually start with taking a sip of kefir. Kefir is a fermented milk product that's made with a very specific strain of enzymes, mostly lactobacillus. I believe there's some bifidium in here as well as some other strains, but you can't replicate this naturally and no one's been able to replicate kefir grains. You guys might hear a little bit of a pop like carbonated water when I open this and I get some all over my arm. Sometimes this gets really volatile and active and it can explode all over the place. This bacterial culture consumes all the lactose. If you can't tolerate dairy products, there's a very good chance you can tolerate kefir as not only is the lactose absent, but the other bacterial strains and the probiotic bacteria allow you to tolerate cacine and some things that people might have issues with. It has an alcohol percentage. This also has a very high acetic acid content, which is beneficial to the gut microbiome. There really isn't a food that would be better from a probiotic standpoint than kefir. It has a very high beneficial probiotic content. It has a small acetic acid percentage and you can't really beat it. It is very strong though. I had a couple of sips of kefir. The fat content of this is so high of the sheet milk, it's ridiculous. This is almost like yogurt. It's so thick. If you guys get like cow kefir, it's probably not going to be as thick as this. I'll have a little bit of that and then I'll move on to eating the cheese. This is a cheese that I've actually just tried recently. It's a raw sheet milk cheese from Portugal. It's like a party cheese. You're supposed to let this sit at room temperature for a couple hours and then it gets really soft and gooey and you dip whatever you're eating in it, but me being the carnivore animal that I am, I just eat the cheese like this. Before this, I was just going to Whole Foods as well as local cheese shops and seeing what raw sheet cheeses that they had. I think I was getting some raw goat cheeses as well, but Whole Foods at the moment was carrying this raw sheet milk roquefort that was made from very high quality milk. I don't really like roquefort, but they also had another raw sheet cheese from Spain. Even in Whole Foods or possibly local supermarket, you can find raw sheet milk, raw goat milk cheeses, especially raw cow's milk cheeses. I had some of this yesterday and this is funky as hell. Right now it's kind of soft, but it's a bit cold because it was in the fridge. When this gets to room temperature, it's like goop. This is like funky, rotten barnyard cheese. Definitely have to like the funky stuff if you're going to eat this. Cheese has a bit of a higher protein content. The lactose is mostly digested and the K2 content is incredibly high. I think I'm eating a hard cheese, so I'll get thirsty and I'll drink the kefir throughout, but this is a little softer and it's not drying out my mouth as much, but this fills you up really quick, especially compared to like milk or cream or yogurt. When you're eating a raw high quality cheese, you can't eat that much of it. I ate quite a bit of the cheese. I think I'll save the rest for tomorrow. The fat content of this stuff is so high. I would estimate that just in that cheese and this kefir, I'm probably already at like 1500 calories and what I'll do now is I'll finish up the kefir and then I'll like to sit down and have yogurt sometimes. I'm not actually hungry anymore, but Frankie, being the chubby little Italian boy that he is, likes to enjoy himself a little bit. Oh yeah, no, I'm really full. Maybe I'll have a couple bites of yogurt, but I'm good. I don't think I'm getting like that chubby, but definitely a little more than I'm used to carrying around, but it's okay because I'm still chiseled out of marble. Being on a raw diet, one thing that a lot of people miss is letting the food get to room temperature. It's much more enjoyable when eating room temperature kefir, room temperature cheese. The yogurt I actually prefer when it's cold, so I do keep that in the fridge, but the majority of the foods I eat, I do take out. I let them sit at room temperature for a couple hours just so when I go to eat them, they're not cold. So we're going to take out the foods for my next meal and I'll also show you guys what's in my fridge. Now this is my parents' fridge and I don't usually keep my food in here, but I do have some salmon that I talked in here the other day, so we'll take some of this out. Now this is where all my stuff is. So here I have actually some buffalo milk that I was just messing around with. Most of this is sheep dairy right now. This is all sheep milk. There's some sheep milk here as well. I have some sheep kefir. This is some goat kefir that I have to go through. A little bit more sheep yogurt. Up here is an organ meat grind. We actually have this on Frankie's Friar and his meat now, so definitely check that out. This is 80-20 organ meat grind with 10% of it being organs and most of it is liver. We also have a regular 70-30 ground beef, so we're going to have some of this. I have some eggs up here, but that's for my family. Don't eat the eggs. Down here I have some beef fat that's fermenting and let's take out some of the sheep milk for later. For the ground beef I'm just going to let sit at room temperature. For the salmon I'm just going to cut a portion for later. So I'll just cover this so no bugs get on it. I'm going to try to keep the plastic from touching the salmon. I have a little bit of milk left over from the other day. I'm actually going to pour some of this milk into this one and just let it sit at room temperature. Normally I'll put the milk in some cups and then I'll cover the cups with plastic wrap, but since I had the extra container today this is what I'm doing. So we're going to leave this and I will be back when I feel like eating. It's about 11.15 at night. Normally I don't eat this late. Usually I'll eat around 6, 7 or 8 o'clock, but I had a couple of things come up and I don't actually want to eat. Normally if I'm so busy that I don't have time to eat I will just skip the meal. But since I'm doing this day of eating I decided to have this meal with you guys to show you how I complete my nutrition. You can't thrive only off of dairy products unfortunately. You do need certain fatty acids and you do need certain minerals and elements that aren't as high in dairy that are present in meat and fish. This is a piece of coho salmon. Much better than sockeye and both of them are pretty cheap fish from a fishing standpoint but they usually overcharge for it in supermarkets. I don't actually feel like having this salmon today so I'm not going to actually have it. I just wanted to show you guys because it's important to balance your omega-3 ratios if you're consuming eggs especially. I ate maybe two or three dozen eggs last week that was causing me to break out because my omega fatty acid ratios went out of balance. You need to eat about half of a pound of wild caught fatty fish per one dozen eggs to balance your fatty acid ratio. Keep in mind eating eggs have some fatty fish in pretty substantial amounts. If you're one of those people that is sucking down 10 or 12 egg yolks a day you're going to need to be eating quite a bit of fatty fish every day to make sure your omega fatty acid is in balance. Here we have the organ meat grind. This is from a local farm and all of the ground meat that we sell on Frankie's Syrians meat is very fresh from a local farm so I am okay with consuming this raw. I don't usually recommend consuming any ground meat raw but if it was to be this would be it. Here we have the sheet milk that I'm going to have with this. No salt, no anything. On the fish I actually do prefer to salt it like an hour or two ahead of time. It firms up the fish, gives it a bit more flavor but most of the time with the raw meats and stuff I don't like adding salt to them. Before we eat though I do want to show you guys one of my viewers who was so kind he actually made a knife for me. It's a beautiful knife, the nicest knife I have now. I always heard about people making knives and I was thinking about getting a new chef knife. His name is Eric Alborn. Him going keto improved his health a lot and he discovered my channel and he wanted to thank me by sending me this knife because his health improved even further when he went carnivore. He didn't want me to do this but I figured it was such a nice gesture and it's actually one of the first gifts I've ever received from any of my viewers. It's a beautiful knife and I know how much work goes into making these. If you guys want to check out Alborn knives on Instagram I really admire stuff like this because you're able to take a raw material and create it into something amazing and useful. A skill I've never had. He's a carpenter and he does this knife stuff in his spare time. So Eric thank you so much for sending me this. Looking forward to using this although it's so nice I kind of don't want to. Again this was 90% ground beef, 10% organs, mostly liver, some heart and some kidney and the fat ratio is 80-20. Now we actually requested that they grind this a little coarser because it gives it more of a texture and it's not like it's not like pasty or like glue sometimes when they overgrind the meat. You know regardless of how much dairy I eat even when I start eating something like unseasoned raw meat my body naturally craves it. You know even when I think I'm not hungry it's definitely some nutrient aspect that we're missing in our diet if we don't consume meat, if we don't consume fish definitely something to be aware of for vegetarians. Our people that are consuming a lot of eggs and dairy as much as I like ice cream milk is delicious. You don't have to make it into ice cream, you don't have to jazz it up add sweetness, add flourings to it. Milk to me is probably my favorite natural animal food. It's so tasty, it's so palatable, it's so nutritious and it's very hydrating. I find that if I don't eat the salted cheese in the morning that I can go the whole day and only have like one or two cups of milk for hydration. Sometimes not though, sometimes I still need to drink a bit of water even when I remove salt. One thing I love so much about this diet is the food volume. I didn't eat more than a pound and a half of food today I'm incredibly satisfied stuff like a piggy and I consumed well over 3,000 calories yet the actual amount of food from a volume perspective and stress on my digestive system is very low. Nutritionally complete diet the dairy very high in fat soluble vitamins overall the meat giving us some iron some minerals and elements that weren't as high in the dairy products and if we were to eat the fish we would have gotten plenty of omega 3 fatty acids since there is some liver in this organ grind we got plenty of vitamin A there are no other nutrients we need for today this is one of the few days of eating where I've achieved every single thing including liver. Usually I exclude liver I only have it once or twice a week usually I don't have an omega 3 fatty acid source that is preformed so today is definitely a good indicator of foods that are fairly approachable dairy is very approachable you can make steak tartare you can have sashimi every food that we've consumed today for the most part in a normal day to day life it's just in a raw higher quality form thank you guys for joining me if you could please like the video subscribe hit that bell icon share the video if you can if you guys would like to support me further definitely check out Frank D's for your range of meat we have the organ grind 80-20 we have 70-30 ground beef available now we will have wagyu beef as well by the time this video comes up can't thank you guys enough for supporting Frank D's for your range of meat really looking forward to the future trying to bring you guys things like raw milk as well as corn free and soy free eggs you can also check out Franky's Naturals minimal ingredients minimally processed hygiene and cosmetic products Franky's Naturals.com Franky's FreeRangeMeat.com thanks again and enjoy the rest of your day
