 My most popular request by far the biggest complaint I get about the carnivore diet is that it is not Affordable, you know people cannot spend more than 10-15 dollars per day on food and they want to eat beef and I'm like Well, you know cheap feed lot beef pork chicken eggs You know even supermarket dairy things people are used to eating might be affordable and cheap But they're full of agrochemicals. They have poor omega-3 to omega-6 ratios They don't have the fat side of vitamins the minerals the elements the fatty acids the nutrients that your body needs and Then they're like well I want to follow a carnivore diet because it's the least inflammatory diet and It is more nutritious than a standard American diet and by all means do I agree with that? But I cannot comfortably recommend someone stuff themselves full of feed lot beef It's not going to make them healthy It might be better than a standard American diet for some people But what we're gonna do is go to a local Asian grocery store We're gonna look for wild caught fatty fish this diet of wild caught fatty fish is arguably the most nutritious diet Including fin fish shellfish, you know anything from Salmon Road to uni Depending on the pricing in your local Asian market But you will be surprised at the sheer variety of fresh Frozen preserved canned fish as well as the price point if you look around Yes, there are other options like you know going to local farmers and some people can Get local grass-fed beef for a fairly affordable price point But that usually requires buying in bulk or being in a generally very low-income part of America or Europe So for most people This fatty wild caught fish diet will be the most affordable the most nutrient dense and will alleviate any concerns You might have about negative pollutants or chemicals in your food as well as a lack of nutrients in your food This is actually an H Mart. There are a bunch of these in New York Sometimes they go to Chinatown too and I go get some fish But what we're really looking for is what I would call trash fish Not that they're necessarily trash fish, but they're wild caught fish that are less desirable because they are like super fatty Super oily not as palatable as approachable as you know fish that people are used to eating You know, you're not going to go in here and get wild caught salmon at an affordable price. That's not what we're doing You guys haven't been to Asian supermarket they tend to have the best variety of like fruits vegetables as well as Amazing prices on them You know, you'll find food here that you never even heard of different types of pears All these different types of oranges, you know a bunch of different types of prepared food So if you aren't on a strict carnivore diet, there's definitely a lot of variety you can explore But you know the meat here isn't necessarily what we're looking for We're looking for the fish because all the beef all the pork all the chicken Is not going to be you know the quality we want Now if you're vegan you could really save money 15 pounds of brown rice and bugs by far one of the most nutrient dense Affordable option is clams or mussels, you know chatter clams top neck clams The little necks are a lot more expensive But the chatter clams usually you know a dollar two dollars a pound You can probably you know feed yourself for less than six or seven dollars a day Of course, we have the wild caught fish that aren't really too desired, you know like carp catfish Yellowtail milkfish Bluefish as well all of these are two to three dollars a pound and There's no way you're gonna be able to eat, you know more than three pounds of this a day. So Definitely great option Mussels 4.99 for one bag definitely not expensive, you know same with the oysters any shellfish is nutritionally complete You know when you do buy, you know these spin fish Even if you're getting it for relatively cheap, you know butter fish for 4.99 a pound You have to eat the organs the guts the entrails and everything to get the complete nutritional profile The nice thing about you know something like shellfish whether it's conch oysters mussels or clams is you get the full nutrient profile of the animal by eating it What clam I've had these before I really do like the the wild varieties the heirloom varieties of clams So these are a lot more expensive, but if you do get to try these they are tasty You know, this is what we don't want Farm raised and generally speaking any fish that is a really popular name like trout or you have bronzino you had the You know the tilapia over here earlier those fish do tend to be farmed raised so you want to be careful for that You know, this is a bit on the more expensive end, you know seven eight nine dollars a pound But mackerel 3.99 a pound and you'll usually see you know Spanish mackerel even cheaper 2.99 a pound This is Norwegian mackerel for 3.99 a pound flavor wise. I don't really like the Spanish mackerel But the Norwegian mackerel is really fatty and really good Probably couldn't eat more than two pounds of this per day. So I always tell people, you know mackerel pairing great sheet affordable options For this diet that are nutritionally complete, you know sardines unusually expensive usually Surprisingly sardines and anchovies are more than you would think Wild salmon 12.99 a pound definitely Out of a budget range, but it's something that I really like and enjoy and I'll have this But do bear in mind that most of the salmon is farm raised Sometimes you'll find the smaller scallops are pretty cheap too, you know 7.99 a pound compared to you know 14 15 60 Dollars a pound for the larger scallops Usually called the base scallops You have plant meat as well 6 dollars a pound for for this is probably one of the best deals from a nutrient perspective, you know, it's just raw clam meat And a bunch of other you know wild fish that are a bit above that lower price range that we see with those, you know trash fish Unfortunately, most of the shrimp is farm raised And even if it's not farm raised it usually does have preservatives in it And it's expensive, you know, it's definitely not in the budget range wild shrimp is usually well over 15 dollars a pound And they add preservatives to it that you don't want and you could even taste the preservative And you won't really feel that good after you eat it You definitely want to keep an eye out in the frozen section You'll find a bunch of really affordable stuff, you know, whether it's squid shellfish even just frozen fish in general a sheer variety Of frozen seafood, you know, these are 4.99 for a big bag of frozen oysters At these asian markets is unbelievable You know, if you do want to enjoy yourself once in a while and have the the cheap farm raised stuff, you know That's even an option here I go look at this wild pink shrimp for 8.99 a pound. This is actually a really good deal You know the product of Argentina wild caught you're not going to find wild shrimp for cheaper than that And you can also find fish filets all this type of stuff The point is that at Any sort of asian grocery store? The variety of wild fish, you know, even if you don't want to get it fresh, you know, we have salt and mackerel here salted sardines So many cheaper salted preserved wild caught baddie fish You know that I haven't even heard of You know octopus is a great option usually on the more expensive side You know, look at this a giant four pound baby clam meat bag For 25 that's great. And it's already prepared. You don't have to do anything to it You know some more frozen scallops Really go crazy with the seafood here Maybe pick up some dumplings for your kids and depending on where you go, you know, they might have like smoked fish Again on the more expensive side Any type of squid is usually relatively cheap You know, if you don't want to wait for them to fillet the fish You can get already filleted Norwegian mackerel You know salted russian mackerel You know, even the lobster isn't that expensive You have some smaller fish That are traditionally eaten in in different cuisines. You know, this is 3.99 a pound super duper cheap Even the sea urchin the mooney, you know, this is one of my favorite things to eat 11.99 a pound obviously, you know, not the highest quality sea urchin roe I'm actually going to get one of these today because I love this stuff. You know, I mean You know, this is definitely not a budget thing But you know just for for $12 to get a lot of nutrients for the day is great Faro island is the farm raised salmon. We don't really want that A lot of the fish eggs you see in the asian grocery store are actually, you know They have dye and a bunch of other things added. You can see sorbetal vinegar or bonita extract. You don't really want that But they do tend to have Just regular plain salted salmon roe And yeah, I mean $60 a pound Not on a budget, but you know having a couple tablespoons of this a week isn't really out of the realm of possibility for a lot of people And if you really want to go for a cheaper option and you love the stuff You know, there are additives so you can get, you know, sweet fish roe for a portion of the price But you're dealing with all these additives that could cause issues They do have a lot of live seafood Even though the blue crab might only be 2.99 a pound the yield is not going to be that high Some of you guys might be thinking with all the fresh and frozen seafood at this market Why would we go for canned food and you're absolutely right? Most of this is more expensive It tends to have anything from soybean oil to sauces olive oil Preservatives, you know, we still have the concern. Is it wild caught? You know, what was in the can lining? And it being more expensive You know, what's the point of getting it? But You know things like herring can be relatively affordable You can get clams, oysters that are very nutrient dense But unfortunately you see that's in sunflower oil. Sometimes these are in cottonseed oil So again, the shellfish very nutrient dense option even canned, you know, but who's going to pay You know eight dollars For you know, half a pound of wild salmon where you can get the fresh or the frozen stuff for cheaper So if you do want to incorporate Canned seafood into your diet by all means you can It just tends to be more expensive and Worse for you than the fresh or the frozen stuff, you know stuff like sardines anchovies, you know, this is pretty expensive Now you're paying three dollars for two ounces of fish. This is fifteen dollars for eight ounces of fish Not exactly affordable I've never seen this before liver pate pork livers pork fat seasoning I guess if you really didn't have access to liver you could go with this stuff and have a small amount of it I wouldn't necessarily go for that. I mean if you had no other source of liver in your diet I guess you could have some of this because you know has a significant amount of vitamin a If you're buying wild caught fatty fish Just don't have them filet the fish take it home and you can eat the liver of the fish Just keep in mind the fattier fish tend to have leaner livers and the leaner fish tend to have fattier livers Which do taste better and then there is the concern about toxins and you know Stuff being stored in the fat of the fish But again, if you're buying wild caught fish fatty fish The smaller fish that are lower on the food chain tend to be less polluted less concerns about that Again, a lot of this stuff is very subjective. It depends on you know, where you're located what you have access to what the pricing is you know, what you like because Even if I had to follow A budget carnivore diet and eat this fish. I would absolutely hate it You know, I eating mackerel every day eating herring every day. I don't like the taste of it It doesn't satisfy my appetite. I can't do it But but keep in mind if you guys aren't a very strict budget. I'm sure you could swing this type of fatty fish diet for You know less than 10 dollars per day easily Then you know, depending on how much work you want to put into sourcing your food Yeah, you could probably do a grass fed carnivore diet for less than 10 dollars per day You know, I was in Whole Foods earlier and they had grass with ground beef for seven dollars a pound So if you could get them to give you, you know, the fat scraps for free I'm sure that you could end up spending less than 10 dollars per day on grass fed beef carnivore It's just a lot more effort is required and you're probably going to be eating less food in general So if you're the type of person You know if your bodybuilding if you're lifting weights And you need to eat like three four or five pounds of meat per day to maintain your body mass If you're a larger person then the fatty fish is a better option And it's not to say that you know, you can't splurge a little bit here and there and add more variety to your diet What I will say it is difficult to get your organs in to get all your nutrients in to make sure you're getting every single aspect That's why I like the fatty fish so much You know, if you're eating herring if you're eating mackerel If you're throwing in uni once in a while salmon or once in a while You're getting every single vitamin every single mineral, you know all your omega fatty acids Essentially everything you need But if you're only eating, you know grass fed ground beef and grass fed beef fat, you know the nutrient density of that compared to The fatty fish diet is is insignificant. Uh, that's what I'm trying to convey to you guys So obviously, you know a conventional feedlot beef pork chicken diet is not sustainable It's not good for you because of the lack of nutrients because of the agrochemicals If you do just a grass fed beef diet, that's cheap and affordable It's very likely you're not getting enough liver. You're not getting enough brains You're not getting enough of the nutrients from foods So even though fish might be less enjoyable for some people The nutrient density of fish of fatty fish from the omega 3 profile perspective from the vitamin perspective Everything is just better across the board Especially vitamin d one thing that should definitely not be overlooked is that all of these fatty fish Are incredibly high in vitamin d You know, that's something that most other ruminant animals and most people aren't getting a lot of on their carnivore diet And you know, if you're not in the sun every day, if you're not taking a vitamin d3 supplement Now you end up getting three four five thousand iu of vitamin d3 per day just by eating two to three pounds of fatty fish. So You know, not only is A fatty fish diet cheap budget friendly affordable It's arguably the most nutrient dense diet Because of its omega fatty acid profile and because of the high vitamin d content, you know Anyone can eat liver to get some vitamin a Anyone can You know try to increase the quality of the foods in their diet to get you know more even fast liable vitamin profile And you know, you could even eat more fermented foods to get vitamin k2 But the micromanaging the food sourcing with all of that stuff is not conducive to a budget and it's not conducive to time A lot of you guys will ask me, you know, is it better to eat half a pound of Grass-fed beef per day and have some rice is it better to you know substitute low inflammatory carbohydrates here and there This is the safest recommendation. I can comfortably give to people, you know I can't recommend people, you know consume an only phila beef diet instead of a standard american diet It's very hard for me to do I can't recommend people eat half their calories from sourdough rye bread and half their calories from Grass-fed beef, you know, that might work for some people, but you know from my understanding of nutrition You want to remove all inflammatory components from your diet Unfortunately, most modern plant foods are inflammatory to some degree you have to start with a baseline somewhere And if you're not able to start with a baseline of wild caught fish products or pasture raised animal products It's very difficult to see what, you know, the problems are in your diet and to really, you know Become an optimal version of yourself.
