 All right guys welcome back to the channel if you're new my name is Bobby guys It is time for the 30-day carnivore experiment Review yes, it has been quite some time since I updated you guys on the current status 30-day experiment is in the past now It has been round about two months since it ended So therefore it is time to tell you about the benefits the downsides and The aftermath all right benefit number one Digestion right off the bat the improvement in digestion is beyond words as a vegan I've been struggling with digestion for years. I suffered of diarrhea for eight months straight Belly pain belly cramps diarrhea Bloating all of it Once I reintroduced the animal foods my digestion improved tremendously, but Nothing in comparison to the carney war died Once I eliminated all the carbohydrates. My digestion was smooth absolutely perfect belly flat no bloating no cramping firm stool and Most importantly, I went to the toilet Once per day when you're eating animal foods, but you still have carbohydrates in your diet You can go to the toilet up to two or even three times Depending on the caloric intake on the carnivore diet. However, I had to go to the toilet once per day max benefit number two mental clarity Absolutely insane. No blood sugar spikes. No blood sugar fluctuations Just this pure state of consciousness Mental clarity all the way through without exaggerating here I would describe it similar to flow state similar to micro dosing psilocybin this state of consciousness I could only achieve with psychedelic drugs The ketogenic state that was induced through the carnivore diet, which was zero-carb Was unparalleled which brings me to benefit number three mood through the mental clarity My mood improved tremendously I had an emotional stability that I didn't experience beforehand Groundedness I wouldn't experience mood swings No anger issues. No Crankiness no hang greeners no depression Just an overwhelming feeling of bliss benefit number four Sleep. Yes for the first time in years. I could sleep through Absolutely amazing benefit Over where the nights where I would get up to take a piss as a vegan I would get up three four sometimes five times Just to take a piss. No. I wasn't drinking less. That was not the difference Somehow my body retained the fluids. I felt hydrated and I could sleep through I felt like I was in a coma almost really deep sleep So much better regeneration benefit number five satiation and enjoyment of the meals as a vegan Especially in the later months. I would find myself Frustrated my body would reject the foods I would find myself in vegan restaurants just looking at the menu and hating my life No joke. I would look at quinoa burger salad reps Tempeh and tofu scrambles and I would simply hate it. My body was naturally opposed to those foods I couldn't find any satiation or joy in those meals with the carnival diet It was quite the opposite after every meal. I would feel satiated as I said, no Hangriness no blood sugar roller coaster satisfied through fat adaptation absolutely Amazing and what was really surprising to me is that I wouldn't feel bored by those meals In the beginning. I thought this will be boring. No carbohydrates No quinoa. No pasta. No rice. No sweet potatoes. It was the opposite. I didn't miss carbohydrates at all Benefit number six. This is a crucial one. This was really important and life-changing for me teeth health My teeth health improved beyond belief. I know all of this sounds miraculous, but it is the truth My teeth as a vegan not as a fruitarian were terrible Terribly sensitive. I couldn't eat anything Every fruit would give me pain every cold dish would pain Absolute suffering all the way through Through the carnival diet Naturally, you stay away from carby starchy sugary foods you give your teeth for the first time the chance to Recover the chance to Mineralize Finally, you can truly open up that D3 K2 calcium pathways and you can induce total Regeneration my teeth are not sensitive at all anymore. They feel strong I do not have any pain whilst eating. This must be among the biggest benefits benefit number seven Inflammation, this is a big one as well as a vegan. I injured myself quite frequently ACL torn apart same goes for the biceps My hamstring ripped apart as well constant dehydration and frailness weakness would always lead to injuries With that came a lot of inflammation, of course unfortunately, those injuries didn't heal I Suffered from those injuries for at least half a year before I started reintroducing the animal foods again They helped tremendously, but the pain was still there. My body started healing But not as efficient as with the carnival diet on the carnival diet guys I know it sounds like a sale pitch almost But the inflammation was gone in the time of three days After three days, there was no inflammation in my body. My knees felt Rejuvenated my biceps finally started healing. It was an amazing feeling as I said total regeneration Benefit number eight and this is the last benefit that I can think of zero dry skin Finally the vegan dry skin issues are gone again as I said with the reintroduction of animal foods My skin got moisturized quite a bit, but nothing in comparison to the carnival diet Maybe it is due to the higher fat intake. Maybe it is due to the higher collagen intake either way Finally, I do not experience any dry skin, especially Dry hands all of that is in the past But before you blame me to be a shill to be a carnival salesman, let's talk about the cons Let's talk about the downsides All right Downside number one on the carnival diet the portion size of the food was sometimes a little bit too small If I could eat a salad if I could tolerate a salad believe it or not, I would add it to my meal I would prefer it Why would I lie? But unfortunately every time I eat a salad I get diarrhea. It is absolutely indigestible For me that was a small Downside to the carnival diet again, you can always eat a little bit more You can add a little bit of butter a little bit of salmon roe something on those lines to add a little bit more Quantity to your meals But to be totally honest and transparent if I could add some veggies for quantity I would have done so Downside number two body odor. Yes, I hear the vegans screaming already Keto crotch is real. It wasn't so much the keto crotch, but much more the armpits Depending on the food sourcing and the food combining I would Definitely experience a little bit more of an acidic smell not gonna lie about it It wasn't there all the way through Nowadays it is non-existent, but especially in the beginning in the adaptation phase I would feel an increased Smell an increased body order and there was definitely the downside of the carnivore diet Downside number three this one is crucial and this one is why I ended the carnivore Experiment it was the inability to make real Body building gains. Yes, unfortunately Let's be honest guys the spot of bodybuilding has existed for at least 120 years Those guys know how it works Those guys know how to make gains if you're really focused on bodybuilding gains if you want to have perfect mass gains You will have to follow those bodybuilding principles those old-school bodybuilding principles and You always will need Carbohydrates it just makes it so much easier if I learned anything through veganism it is about the Importance of pre-formed nutrients. Let's be honest you look into the vegan dogma the vegan camp They will tell you you do not need creatine because you can form it yourself, right? There's so many Non-essential amino acids so many non-essential fatty acids and you can build them all yourself Now as carnivores, we rely on gluconeogenesis, right? We rely on the conversion proteins into carbohydrates to achieve Perfect gains, but that is of course not needed. We can choose a simple approach More simplified version of the carnivore diet and we can simply add a little bit of honey Maybe a couple of fruits into the mix or like old-school bodybuilders always did a little bit of rice If you digest it well for bodybuilding gains This will always be the go-to method have some lean protein sources Moderate amounts of fats and moderate amounts of carbohydrates Like this you always have full glycogen stores that will lead to tremendous pumps and Tremendous gains Alright those were the pros and the cons now we're gonna talk about the carnivore Aftermath and we're gonna talk about certain aspects that are worth mentioning so guys Through the whole carnivore experiment I have to tell you that the social aspect Wasn't hard at all as a vegan. It is much much harder to go out to a restaurant Yeah, of course, you can always eat side dishes if you want to compromise your health But let's be honest to have a fully Balanced whole some meal as a vegan is not that easy and on top of that You will always get those weird questions from family members friends and whatnot not that I really care But I just want to mention how easy it was to order a steak Especially during my time in France. I could easily eat some steak tartare and omelette Some ground beef and on tricot and whatnot. It was absolutely easy for me. No problem whatsoever Another thing that I want to mention is that during my 30 days on the zero-carb carnivore experiment I cheated once I cheated once with a plant with an avocado Half an avocado. I just wanted to try it out to see how I will react Maybe keto is the way to go. Maybe animal based is something that I should try. I had a weak moment I tried it out. Let me tell you it Absolutely wrecked me. I felt like I ate a bunch of mushrooms I was cowering in my room belly cramps beyond belief. I almost had an out-of-body experience Absolutely terrible. I haven't touched it since since the carnivore experiment. I Experience fat adaptation. It is absolutely beautiful as a vegan I couldn't go without carbohydrates not even for one meal. It wasn't possible fasting on the vegan diet was torture absolute painful Nowadays, I don't really mind. I can switch a carb meal For a fat meal. I can start my days with a banana and then have Chewabchichi as a second meal. I can switch my energy sources Hey, maybe I want to eat some rice cakes or maybe I just want to have a block of butter Both works equally efficient and that is the beauty of it Even if you don't want to stay carnivore if you give it a go after that you will have that Metabolic flexibility and it's absolutely enjoyable to not rely on one Single macronutri that is one more benefit on its own Absolutely amazing Since those days passed. I really have to say guys I miss the carnivore diet every single day all the benefits that I just told you about They are missing nowadays the super flat belly the absolute mental clarity All of that is in the past now. I'm playing around with carbohydrates. And why is that so? Essentially, it is a trade-off for gains. Yes. I truly love bodybuilding. It is my crutch I want to put on serious mass and for that I need those carbohydrates But it is a trade-off. You're basically trading your digestion for gains That is what is truly happening since I reintroduced the carbohydrates I am playing around with polenta with white rice with sweet potatoes Let me tell you my digestion is improved It's really not as if the carnivore diet Further enhanced my digestive issues quite the opposite I can get away with eating a burek or pizza even I can have a cheat meal Especially nowadays here in Macedonia, but once you experience perfect digestion And let me tell you you can only achieve perfect digestion on a zero-carb approach Tell me about one vegan that is stuffing his face with lentils and has perfect digestion If they tell you they have perfect digestion, they're clearly lying or they don't know any better Try it out Go on zero carbs animal-based foods and you will see there is zero bloating How could there be you have no fiber in your diet? It's absolutely perfect since then as I said I'm missing it every single day. I will return to the carnivore diet Once I will get into cutting mode. It is a phenomenal way to reduce body fat It is a phenomenal way to maintain But as I said for bodybuilding gains, it is not the way to go Hence, I will always play around with carbohydrates for my performance golds But I will always return to a fully carnivorous approach 100% talking about bodybuilding. I have to mention here Of course, the pump is not as good as it would be if you have carbohydrates in your diet But let me tell you the pump as a carnivore is still 10,000 times better than as a vegan even though I was eating high-carb as a vegan You just trash your insulin sensitivity. It doesn't matter how many carbohydrates you eat Once you get fat adapted. You're super sensitive to carbohydrates. The pump is better than on the high-carb vegan diet.
