 what's going on guys i'm going to take you through a raw carnivore day of eating the benefits of following a raw diet range from increased nutrient density digestion but by no means do you have to follow a completely raw diet or a raw diet at all to see the benefits of the carnivore diet everything i'm doing today can be achieved by cooking the food to some degree you just have to consume a little bit more of it or be more mindful of other sources of nutrition so i'm going to start my day with the higher nutrient foods and here we have some lamb kidneys and some liver the liver is actually this is a piece of baby lamb liver and these very these very tiny cute little kidneys are the baby lamb kidneys i know it's a little cruel you know look how tiny they are but what are you going to do so the kidneys i just soaked in water for a little bit just to remove any negative taste of urine and the liver i just sliced a piece off we're consuming these two foods because they are really the most nutrient-dense parts of the animal both liver and kidney have every single vitamin you need they have all the water soluble b vitamins they have vitamin c they have all the fat soluble vitamins a d e and k there's even some omega 3 fatty acids in these foods the main difference is kidney is a little bit higher in selenium and liver has a much higher vitamin a content otherwise these foods are pretty even in regards to their nutrient density so the kidney has a mild mineral smell to it and a very mild flavor these are actually the mildest tasting kidneys i've ever have this is the reason i i bought the baby lamb kidneys is because the younger the animal the more mild tasting the meat is and in the case of kidneys generally they are pretty strong tasting and they also have the other kidney for tomorrow i'm not too hungry but we'll try some lamb liver super i don't even taste this this is so mild in flavor it almost has no flavor the liver was good i don't know i thought like i thought i was going to crave the kidney but not really but that liver very mild minerally it's liver to me to me there's something weird about liver it's like i don't do i like the taste of liver it's not bad i definitely don't enjoy the taste of liver but when i eat liver it's like i crave it it's weird it's like you're eating something you don't like but you want to eat more of it to me i haven't experienced it with any food besides liver and it doesn't really make sense to me there's some sort of like primal biological evolutionary thing going on where we just crave the actual nutrient that's in the food so i think that really is the case with liver and why i like it so much even though i'm not necessarily hungry for it but i don't really want to eat too much more for breakfast i think i'll probably just have one meal later so in regards to like hydration patterns usually i'll drink throughout the day i don't supplement anything sometimes i will take some deep three but lately i've been getting you know i was getting enough sun during the summer so i'm not too worried about that in regards to the nutrients that i've achieved in this meal i really don't need to eat anything else today maybe my omega-3s are a little low but my b vitamins fat soluble vitamins water soluble vitamins every single vitamin i need to be in optimal health i've already gotten i've gotten plenty of minerals plenty of elements i really don't need to include anything else in my diet at this point the only thing that could be further improved upon from a nutrient perspective might be some more omega-3s in the form of preform dha from like fish or brain tissue or perhaps the linoleic and the linolytic acids that we see in ruminant fat you know maybe the precursors to epa and dha that's the only real improvement we can put in our diet and of course the macronutrient requirements the protein and the fat that our body needs to build itself so i will see you guys later when i have uh dinner i guess all right so guys here's my second meal i just got two ribeye steaks decent amount of fat on them sometimes i do add some raw butter for some vitamin k2 but i'm not that hungry today so i think i'm just gonna have the steaks just for the sake of digestion i do usually try to chew it pretty well one question that comes up a lot is telling the difference between grass fed and grain fed beef and grass fed beef usually will be a bit darker in color but the main thing to see here is the difference in the fat the fat of the grass fed beef will generally be off white to yellow in color and it'll be very soft and creamy when it breaks up in your hand and when you chew it it's soft it has like a mild nutty grassy flavor if you ever try to eat the raw fat on a grain fed steak it's like off tasting so i think that's all i'm gonna have today guys just one steak i'm not that hungry uh as we went over earlier we're really just getting mostly macronutrients fat and protein by consuming more steak but depending on the quality of the steak and the amount of fat on it we are getting some more fat soluble vitamins adek fairly decent amounts of the linoleic and linoleic acids as well if any of you guys have more questions about the nutrient profile or the meal i'm doing uh just let me know in the comments overall the only thing that i really could have capitalized on today was incorporating some higher omega 3 foods but i just don't have anything on hand at the moment and you know with the amount of high quality beef that we're eating you know i could have also had you know just a few tablespoons of raw butter here and there just for some more vitamin k2 as well as the linoleic and linoleic acid precursors to epa and dha so that being said thank you guys for watching if you guys would like to support the channel please subscribe and share the video if you guys want to check out my amazon shop i do have some cod liver oil on there that is a great way to get nutrition without eating raw liver if you guys want to go on my patreon i got a story about me myself what i do for a living i'm on instagram i'm on twitter you guys can see more pictures of me eating raw meat or cooked meat for that matter and last but not least if you guys would like to reach out to me for one-on-one consultations in regards to optimizing your overall health fitness
