 Frankie boy has been on the carnivore diet for six years now I'm gonna tell you guys Why I got started on the diet what benefits I've seen where I've kind of gone wrong as well as the pros and cons of the carnivore diet and the main thing that separates me from other people let alone carnivores is my Ability to be objective open-minded and my discipline the main reason people don't Find their true health and don't really get to the point where I'm at is because if you're not disciplined You don't question your diet if you're like a bodybuilder and you're on the clean diet And you have a cheat meal or a cheat day every week. You're like, okay. Well, I just got off my diet Let me go back to the diet So you're viewing your diet is good and the cheat is bad if you stay disciplined and you stay on the diet Then you start to question is this diet actually good if you keep going between good and bad You never start to question if the good is truly good And because of my discipline because I've stuck to many different diets from when I was 13 to now at 27 I've explored a lot about health and nutrition and I've constantly questioned myself Because of that because of my discipline I've been able to explore health whereas other people kind of just get stuck in a single mindset or various other diets now I Was into weightlifting when I was younger till I was about 13 till about 22 through that period of time I explored dirty booking bodybuilding classic chicken and rice bodybuilding paleo And I was even vegan for a period of like two weeks I should help make a whole video on that actually but I've explored a lot of diets and in hindsight the main reason I started having energy issues and you know, I was going to the I was in the gym for two hours a day. I was eating literally three to four pounds of sweet potatoes a day and I didn't have energy and In hindsight that was because I took Accutane and Accutane ruined my digestive system That was why it actually happened, but at the time I didn't realize that and I was like well I'm unhappy in the gym two hours a day. I have no energy Bodybuilding is definitely not healthy. All these people are dropping dead What is true health and I literally started googling how to be healthy and Paul Chek's book how to eat move and be healthy came up and Paul Chek is a very successful Holistic nutritionist has a YouTube channel very intelligent guy so many amazing topics I remember watching his coffee video a few weeks ago. I was like this is so above what I will ever do but his book how to eat move and be healthy turned me on to Weston Price and Weston Price's book nutrition and physical degeneration Gave me the idea that all of these indigenous groups humans are meant to have Certain animal foods in the diet because there's certain nutrition and once I explore that I was like oh, this makes a lot of sense This is like, you know, you're fertilizing the soil and giving the plants certain nutrients to grow humans Need the same thing in animal form now. I didn't have energy on Carbohydrate diet, so I was like well Maybe I should go keto and combine paleo keto and then I read norgid gattus's book Primal body primal mind and I put all the pieces together I was like all right paleo keto with high animal fat is the way to go and I went out And I felt this was back when paleo was really popular I filled up a 25 cubic foot freezer with a cow two pigs and a bunch of pastured chickens And I pretty much ate only meat for about eight Months and I never had energy because I didn't increase my fat content enough Once I increased my fat content. I bought some trim fat. I tried raw butter I was taking a Benadryl to tolerate the butter at the time because I'm allergic But when I increased my fat content my energy actually normalized From the get go though I was consuming liver and salmon row because those were foods in Weston Price's Book that these groups prized and once I understood nutrient profiles of foods And understood what foods have what nutrients I was able to kind of pinpoint. Okay. I need this. I need that And my whole diets and all my beliefs are on the premise that high vitamin animal foods are important and A ketogenic metabolism is optimal for energy. I didn't actually know about the carnivore diet until About two years ago. I knew what zero carb was but when I looked into zero carb years and years ago I didn't really think it fit what my diet was because had nothing to do with organ meats had nothing to do with fat Had nothing to do with quality But when shone baker went on joe rogan and the diet got really popular I was like, all right. I got to market myself to these people So I was literally following the diet for a couple years And then I was making youtube videos for a couple years And then I was like, all right, let me mark it to the carnivore people and I didn't start making videos about Two or three years into my carnivore lifestyle. Overall the benefits I've seen from this carnivore diet and this carnivore lifestyle have been That I'm no longer lethargic. Like I remember when I used to try to get out of bed I was always tired and didn't want to get out of bed. That never happens now. It's so it's unbelievably amazing I've never drank coffee. I never drank espresso or anything. So But that's that's one of the biggest benefits The second benefit that I didn't necessarily do the diet for was the clear skin and amazing skin And I realized that if I consumed liver, I wouldn't break out And if I didn't consume liver, sometimes I would break out with acne. So there's definitely some tie-ins there to skin health And uh, of course just overall, I mean if you look good and you feel good What more is there? Like if you're an optimal physical and mental health, what more can you ask for? Now there are many other elements that I incorporated to improve my health water sun exercise It's not just diet. That's why not everyone on this diet looks, you know, looks like me looks like a perfect Not everyone looks like their ideal self. Not everyone looks like a roman statue So to speak there's many many elements to health that I've incorporated that have helped me that I Those are the things that I go over when I consult and I talk to people now The hiccups in the the places I went wrong were kind of Trying dairy keep trying dairy because I really liked it so much when I was allergic to it That's some mistakes I've made and uh, the last time I tried You know raw primal a couple months ago and ended up with the candida problems Those are the two biggest issues that I've ever had just trying to incorporate dairy into my diet That's been the main problem and the only thing that's ever come up But before this candida thing that I've had for the past few months I've literally never had any problems on the carnivore diet. Uh, just to be clear 99.9% of the meat I've put in my body in the past six years has been raw now Most of the time I see it on the outside But if you look at the cooking temperature in my day of eating videos, you're like, well Technically like 99% of that steak is raw. Just the outside is a thin layer of cooked And even from the get go, you know, I consumed raw salmon or a raw liver Uh, the reason I started keeping my meat raw Was because I undercooked my steaks one night and I realized I liked the flavor of Raw instead of cooked and not the flavor but the texture of raw was better than cooked Even though I liked the flavor of cooked meat. So I'll do a separate video on introducing raw foods into your diet But it's just something that I've always done. So uh, for me, it's tough because as someone who's always consumed raw foods on this diet It's it's I have a different perspective on it. I mean the pros obviously, you know What more can you ask for the cons of the diet mainly have to do with, you know Food sourcing can be hard for some people. I've been fortunate in a sense that I have a mind where I'm like, all right If the supermarket gets the meat from here, where do they get it? Where do they get the meat? Where's the meat from? I I am very good with food sourcing finding quality foods I know what to look for. I know I have a culinary background in food I can tell the difference between grass-fed and grain-fed beef just by looking at it I can tell the difference between wild caught fish and farmers. It's very very easy for me to do those things whereas other people It can be a little difficult to know what quality of food you're buying The main con that I think most people have is oh, I can't eat other foods now And you don't necessarily build an intolerance to foods. Your digestion is so smooth on this diet I'll talk about that Um, you just feel so good and so optimal on the carnivore diet that you're at 100% on the carnivore diet If you ever do something else and deviate from the carnivore diet, you just don't feel as good It's not that you have all these food intolerances It's that the carnivore diet is so much better than all these other foods If your digestion is perfect and you literally don't fart at all If you have one bite of an onion, you'll notice it If you if you deviate from the carnivore diet at all the reason you noticed it It's like driving your dream car. It's so perfect. If you drive any other car It just doesn't amount to it The digestion and stuff is Something that I've noticed is amazing. I made a joke to a guy once that I shit like a deer And it's because I have frequent bowel movements once a day once every two days very small Very easy pretty much if I follow the diet perfectly no wipe bowel movements every day That's pretty much perfect digestion. I can't really ask for more than that I mean that has a lot to do with cooking temperature of the food how it digests There's a lot more to it than that But that main con that people have is the You know not being able to eat a lot of other food if I go out to a restaurant and I have a beef carpaccio or a steak tartare I don't really have any problems, but If you start indulging if you start consuming food, you're not supposed to especially grains wheat All of those things that's where you will have problems I mean, there's a whole other bunch of topics I should probably go into like oh people are worried about having a heart attack or cancer from meat Those are some topics I'm going to answer separately in videos like oh does meat what does meat cause cancer this that But if you guys want to understand the nutrient density of foods, I will post some videos in the comments and Of course, you guys can just browse through my other videos On the channel and just kind of learn a lot of what I've learned over the course of my six years of Experimenting on this diet, so Thank you guys for watching Uh, if you guys would like to reach out to me for one-on-one consultations or anything Shoot me an email frank eight to final at gmail.com guys Please follow me on social media twitter and instagram And if you guys want to check out my patreon you guys want to check out my amazon shop things below in the description Have at it
