 The carnivore diet is not only the best diet for overall health through removing inflammation and achieving maximum nutrient density, it's also the best diet for gaining weight and losing weight. In this video we're going to focus on gaining weight and how even without resistance training most people on this diet improve their body composition drastically and you know there are select few people who need to incorporate training and outside factors to either gain or lose weight and that's what we're going to focus on this video mainly the resistance training and the reason the zero-carb carnivore diet is by far the best diet for gaining weight and gaining lean body mass is because there is no other diet that allows you to maintain such a low body fat level put on as much muscle at that break as well as be an optimal energy levels to me there's really nothing that comes close and it really does make a lot of sense once you look into it and once you try it yourself so the first point we need to touch on is the importance of resistance training and you have to understand that there's a baseline of lean body mass that a natural indigenous person has maybe in the context of modern society a manual laborer might have slightly more than this but most people are below baseline in regards to lean body mass so what we need to achieve is this amount of lean body mass as quickly and as easily as possible then you could maintain it you could go into looking into other fitness routines but at that point you will have enough lean body mass to achieve your ideal health then we can tackle it you know if you guys want to check out the weight losing video I'll do that one tomorrow that might apply to some of you as well as this because this is not only focused on gaining weight it's mainly focused on gaining lean body mass because that is the goal you know you when people say they want to gain weight they want to gain lean body mass they don't want to put five pounds of fat on their belly at least in most cases so the best way to achieve this lean body mass is through a high volume high intensity hypertrophy routine because as you can imagine 10 years of sedentary activity if you're only working out for one hour a day how are you gonna make that up you know there's routines like five by five and strong lifts and crossfit calisthenics all those things are great but in order to those might get you to your goal in two three years who knows how long but you can achieve your lean body mass goal in several months to a year if you're on the right routine and I can't go into specifics because I do offer consultations and sell my routine but to basically sum it up high volume high intensity you I mean yeah initially when you're starting you want to work on your stability and not go too heavy but you can pretty much jump right into a fairly high volume hypertrophy routine if you do a little bit of research now outside of the resistance training aspect that would pretty much solve all the problems for people but one thing I need to clarify is you do not need to consume an excess of calories on a gaining weight for lean body mass diet when I was doing the physique competition I would consume I was actually on a rome diet too so to say that you need to cook your food to increase potability and consume more that's not necessarily true and I was eating about a pound and a half of muscle meat with a stick of butter and a little bit of liver and salmon rope twice a day so maybe three thousand to thirty five hundred calories per day for someone who had a very highly body mass compared to most people and that was adequate for me and I never at any point consumed more food than I wanted to I never stuffed myself I never over a I always ate a relatively comfortable amount of food so if you're saying oh I do frankly I need to drink raw milk should I put honey on my fat should I overeat you don't need to do any of those things and in order to explain this I have to understand caloric allotment versus expenditure and just because you burn and use a certain amount of calories doesn't necessarily mean that your body needs X amount more calories depending on the activity if I run 10 miles it's not gonna be 10 times more calories than if I run one mile that's not how your body works you know calories and calories out to me although it has helped a lot of people it's not a good concept in the context of this diet and I'll go further in detail into that in the losing weight video but people definitely need to understand that you can gain a surprising amount of lean body mass on a low amount of calories I guess the next thing to touch on is you know do I need to increase power building should I increase my power building and that's up to you you know I can maintain a hundred fifty hundred fifty five pounds and keep putting on a body mass or I can maintain a hundred sixty hundred sixty five pounds that threshold of whether or not you increase your caloric intake artificially or by eating more than you want to you'll just maintain a higher body weight you're not gonna you're not gonna gain weight quicker you're just your base body weight will be slightly higher maybe you'll be around 14% body fat instead of like 11 to 12% body fat I did take creatine I don't really want to touch on that it definitely helps with exercise performance but I don't do anything that's not natural anymore so that's out the carbohydrate intake on this diet for sports performance you guys have to mess around with that I know Shawn Baker does hasn't I don't know if he's tried anything but I know he doesn't need it and he's that guy's an animal I've noticed that consuming a meal before my workout helps but I messed around with honey and it didn't really help so if you really are a high performance athlete maybe initially going into this diet using carbohydrates might help performance but I haven't seen anything to me that indicates that carbohydrates will improve performance drastically because you know liver stores like they're at least 35 hundred calories with a glycogen before every workout but I will say a meal definitely helps regardless of whether it's zero carb or not the next thing to touch on I guess should be electrolytes and yeah this is what a much bigger discussion that I want to get into in this video but most people do need to add a little bit of salt I think a lot of people on zero carb potassium and magnesium deficiencies maybe a little bit of calcium to partly due to soil demineralization partly due to high salt consumption definitely things worth mentioning and considering I do have a bunch of other videos on electrolytes that you guys can check out and you know the electrolyte thing is definitely something you want to do more research on yourself it's a very very big topic and even difficult at my stage of experience for me to understand completely although I do understand natural electrolyte ratios it's hard to gauge how they apply to like an indigenous diet that might have been high in seafood or shellfish I guess to just sum everything up you know incorporate resistance training increasingly body masses the goal you don't have to consume an excess amount of calories things like carbohydrate intake and electrolyte intake can be tapered depending on the individual although I really don't think that you should even look at carbohydrates unless you're a high-performance athlete and then I mean of course you know the foods you're eating the inflammation that your diet has those are things that also can tie into this that are not specific to the goal of this video if you guys would like to consult me for fitness routines or anything my email is in the comments I usually do 8 12 or 16 week consults including diet and workout on my patreon guys I'm actually gonna do my hygiene products in a couple weeks I'm gonna finalize them and I'm gonna give out

channel so I don't know if I should actually share or publish that video as a one-off video for a day but it's you know it's fairly interesting with my culinary background and you know definitely a
