☆ ABOUT ME ☆
I am a former tech worker who lived in NYC for 30 years. When I reached 50, I set out my own and created a business selling on Amazon using their FBA program. Great fun, but neither career left much time for healthy living.
I turned 60 last year (2023). I found myself 110 pounds overweight and seriously out-of-shape, pre-diabetic, with sky-high cholesterol, and unable to walk for more than 20 minutes without resting.
I decided to make some major changes. I shut down my Amazon business and started living frugally. Health is more important than money, especially as we grow older. In August 2023 I started the carnivore diet and lost 65 pounds in 3 months.
Now I’m hooked! I can walk for miles without a rest now. My cholesterol is within normal levels as is my blood pressure. I am no longer pre-diabetic, and I feel 30 years younger!
After experiencing the benefits, I’ve become passionate about sharing my story to help others.

    I like how Jay is so matter of fact about shopping for price. The grocery store can kill your whole budget these days, and yet the food tubers and vloggers are always suggesting we eat insanely expensive foods and supplements. All those videos do is make you feel bad for being fat, then make you feel bad for not being able to afford the stuff that supposedly will make you thin. Keto/Paleo/Carnivore are based on principles, not profits, you can achieve your goals with what money you have, if you are frugal and smart with your dollars. Thanks, Jay.

Also their Kirkwood turkey breakfast sausage says zero carbs and zero added sugar but lists sugar as an ingredient. I wonder what that means. Maybe a negligible amount of sugar is used? Thanks for the video, buddy!

    I can't believe how cheap food is in the U.S.... On Vancouver Island everything is more than double what you are mentioning except for the pork chops that seem to be a similar price to what I bought on sale last week here. Organic Coffee that I get is $20.00 per pound regular price so I never get it unless it is on a good sale price. I am getting some ground beef on sale as steaks are getting beyond my budget now. I admire you for how strict you are with your food. Rib steaks last week here were $29.00 each steak...

    ALDI has the cheapest grocery prices that I've seen here in Connecticut. Trader Joe's charges almost $20/lb for rib steaks, which is about $27 Canadian, and Trader Joe's is supposed to be cheap. We are lucky here though that we have some cheaper options, but you have to know where to look. The problem with ALDI is that the quality can be hit or miss. Trader Joe's is more reliable.

    I know things like grassfed, pasture raised, organic, etc more ideal for foods. However, is it still considered substantially healthier than standard "diet" for you to buy meats, cheeses, butters that aren't all those things? I assume it is healthier than standard American diet, but just want others thoughts. Thanks! Gulit sets in when cant but all the "best".

    Myself, I think we should try to eat the best that we can afford. I’d love to est only grass fed meat, but I can’t afford it. So I eat regular meat. Maybe it’s not as healthy, but for me it’s much healthier than non-carnivore. I can’t afford organic or raw dairy very often either, but my half gallon of raw milk twice per month is the only dairy that I ever eat. No need to feel any guilt.

    Stater Brothers grocery here in Southern California has rib eye roasts for sale most holidays. Previously they were choice, but now they are select. I tried one in the oven, like I usually cook them, but it wasn't very good. I bought a su vi a few weeks ago and picked up rib roast for $6.99/ lb for Easter and it was like eating Prime rib, delicious!
