  • One of the questions that I get asked the most is "what do you drink?" There are things that can be obviously Yes and No with Carnivore, in this video, I show some examples and then also talk about the ones somewhere in the middle. Water, electrolytes, diet drinks, tea, coffee, alcohol, green drinks, milk, heavy cream, energy drinks, and many more are mentioned in this video.

    Thanks for this great round-up! I grew up in the 50s. The only thing we had in our refrigerator was milk. If we went out for breakfast we could have a glass of milk or orange juice, but it was fresh squeezed and it was a very small glass, like 6 or 8 oz. If we were thirsty we drank water. There were never soft drinks in the house. My parents drank coffee but kids weren't allowed to have it. I never liked it anyway. There are too many choices now and that is part of the problem. Too much marketing telling us we deserve a break today.

    I'm 65 years old and have spent the last 45 years trying various diets and workout programs to shed weight and improve my fitness. Three months ago, I stumbled upon Dr. DeBerry's CZcams video discussing the Carnivore diet and decided to follow his advice. For the past two months, I've been fully committed to the Carnivore lifestyle, although I do enjoy drinking 12oz to 14oz of red wine on most days of the week.
    I've completely eliminated fruits, vegetables, fast food, junk food, and processed items from my diet, opting for a Carnivore approach focused on reclaiming my health, not just shedding pounds. I rarely weigh myself, but when I do monthly check-ins, I'm pleased to report a significant loss. Currently, I stand at 5ft 10 inches and weigh 198 lbs, down from 216 lbs two months ago-equivalent to an impressive 18 lbs lost, averaging 9 lbs per month.
    For me, transitioning away from traditional foods prior to Carnivore felt akin to attempting to quit smoking while relying solely on a nicotine patch. The Carnivore diet has truly transformed my health and well-being."

    My personal tip: Don't "eyeball" how much heavy cream you are adding to your coffee. When I first started I did just that. After about a year I finally measured how much my eyeball amount was and it was about 4 Tbsp!!! I've since cut that down to 2 Tbsp and I have learned to love that amount now. I'm thinking I may work to get that down to 1 Tbsp. Even if it's only for having to buy less heavy cream each time I shop.

    I see I'm a year late to this video, but so glad I found it today. I've been researching carnivore for a few months. I'm so tired of feeling bloated, gassy, sore, and tired. I'm almost 40 and it's time for a change in lifestyle. I 100% committed to starting carnivore 2 days ago when I ordered almost $1,000 (63lbs) of grass fed organic beef, free range organic eggs and chicken, wild and sustainably caught cod, salmon and tuna from Alaska and Kettle and Fire brand Bone Broths. I have made several lists on good and bad foods, carnivore vs keto foods, macros and micros, carbs and calories, protein and sodium, vitamins, ect. I have never found a video on beverages!!! With that said, I fortunately love plain water and already drink it as 95% of my daily liquid intake. However I do have a CIRKUL water bottle and flavor cartridges for the once every few days I want some flavor. I may utilize these more when I start my new lifestyle of carnivore as the cartridges contain 0 cal, 0 fat, 0 carbs, 0 sugars, 0 protein, 55mg sodium, 40 mg potassium, 1.3 mg niacin, .14mg B⁶, .19mcg B¹², 30mg phosphorus, and 50mg chloride. In addition to adding salt and spices to my food and the bone broth, I'm hoping it will be enough to keep my electrolytes in check. This is something I need to research more that I hadn't really thought about until I saw this video, so thank you! I'm currently doing a 5 day diary pre carnivore, documenting what I eat and how I feel physically and mentally throughout the day. Will also do 2 days of water fasting with documentation before beginning carnivore. Anxious to see the subtle and not to subtle changes that take place over the next few months!

    I am 61. I have done Atkins and Keto since 1999. I have researched and tried just about every allegedly low carb beverage concoction under the sun and concluded that they ALL suck and ultimately sabotage your diet and your health. The human body is designed to operate off of pure water - period. Anything you add is purely because you are trying to covertly feed your sugar addiction.
    Best strategy: Buy a Zero Water filter system for your kitchen. Filter all of your water. It will taste better and it will rid it of estrogenic substances that keep you fat. Then buy a glass pitcher (not plastic) and keep your drinking water chilled in the refrigerator. Water tastes WAY better this way - filtered and chilled - and if you do it for 3 weeks it will become a habit and your pallet adjusts and you actually begin craving cold water and enjoying the lack of flavorings, believe it or not.
    The human body is designed to crave and want water. You are merely having to break your addiction to sweet flavorings in your beverages. The same goes for coffee. If you must have it, drink it black. No creamers and artificial sweeteners. Coffee is a sabotage vehicle for sneaking carbs back in and for continuing to crave and be addicted to sweet tasting things.
    Best benefit after losing weight and improving your health: All the MONEY you will save. Coffee and additives are EXPENSIVE. Use the savings to buy more 🥩 Ribeyes! 😃😃😃

    Appreciate this! Just got started learning about this way of eating after being consumed with vegan content and not understanding why it was so difficult to stick to. So happy to have stumbled upon this community in last week or so. Taking it one step at a time was drinking a lot of Crystal Light previously but do enjoy steeping Hibiscus flowers to make iced tea, had it today with no sweetener for first time and it was delicious all on its own.

    I really enjoyed this session on what you said about alcohol. The new low-carb or no-carb drinks are really pushing their products. I liked your explanation about how alcohol is metabolized and its effect on your liver. It resonated with me that I should not let alcohol interfere with my weight loss goals.

    Thank you for all your videos. I have been researching this diet for weeks and i have started. I already love meat and seafood, anchovues, sardines, liver so I knew hardest was going to be snacking, pasta, bread. I drink Hint water since I have quit soda and my chai lattes without coffee. So many of my co workers and family and friends have thanked me for the Hint water suggestion. I have never been a coffee drinker, never jumped on the Starbuck train thank goodness and I dont drink alcohol hardly ever maybe once a year but loved my Dr. Peppers and all the sugar in the chai lattes with whip cream. This past weekend was first without the chai s all weekend Long. I quit Dr. Pepper first a couple weeks prior. Amazing I noticed immediately no bloating without the soda.

    I just had to cut out the black coffee. It was keeping my blood sugar high. It was driving me nuts for a while since I’ve been carnivore for about a year. That was the only non-meat item I had. I rarely use heavy cream, and have some cheese once a month or two, so that was the only culprit. Been off for 3 days and I’m seeing fasting sugars come down. Sharing for any other diabetics to keep in mind that they “might” react to black coffee too.

      Me too! You are the first person that I have heard say that about coffee too! I keep going back to it and then my foot starts sweating again….. it seemed silly to think that it was coffee ☕️. I tried different coffees, including instants, but only doing without it gave me any relief. So I remembered that last year I was getting higher blood sugars only after I ate ground beef from Safeway near me…. I suspected that they might be adding something, so I started buying it from another store in town And voila!, problem solved. Maybe something similar is happening with coffees? (I suspected soy being added to the meat because of the breakdown in supply). Thank you for mentioning the coffee. I don’t feel as crazy now.

I have tried the ReLyte strawberry lemonade which is pretty good too. Since starting keto two years ago my husband has lost 168lbs and I have lost 100lbs. I feel better and feel healthier in my 50s than I did in my 30s and 40s. I agree with you that some things I drink do tend to trigger my cravings so I just stay away from them.

      So glad Laura mentioned the coffee with HWC! I’m only 2 weeks in, and have needed that taste and the boost, but am careful to only have a single or max, double shot of espresso with HWC (being more careful of the amount now) and I put a few ice cubes in my Nutribullet with an additional cup of water and blend. The result is a creamy, fluffy iced coffee which makes me feel like I’ve had a huge treat, while at the same time allowing me to stay within my own Carnivore parameters. I’ve been watching Laura, Kelly Hogan, Dr. Berry & Neisha, and others for weeks to gain knowledge and help me stay on track. Thanks SO much Laura for all your great videos! We have our own Grass Fed Beef so that’s a plus, but your videos on how to order takeout are tremendous and I’ll keep those tucked away for going out. ❤️🕊☀️🧋
