Carnivore Diet on a Budget -- July Costco Grocery Haul on the Lion Diet
I've been on the carnivore diet for 9 out of the past 11 months, and have lost 65 pounds so far. I've hit a plateau lately and am going even more hardcore -- I'll be on the Lion Diet for at least the next 30 days. In this video I pick up all the meat that I will need for the next two weeks..

I am a former tech worker who lived in NYC for 30 years. At 50, I started an Amazon FBA business. Fun, but neither career allowed time for healthy living.
Last year, I turned 60, overweight, out-of-shape, pre-diabetic, with high cholesterol, and couldn't walk 20 minutes without resting.
In August 2023, I began the carnivore diet. I lost 65 pounds in 3 months.
Now, I can walk for miles without a rest. My cholesterol and blood pressure are at healthy levels, and I am no longer pre-diabetic. I feel 30 years younger, and I'm passionate about sharing my story to help others.

Costco's steaks are blade tenderized (Says so on the label) which means like ground beef they have to be over cooked to be safe from E.coli. If you buy a whole rib roast or a whole strip loin and cut it yourself you can get a good deal and cut it to the thickness you like,

I've suggested, asked, even criticized (respectfully) other Carnivore KZreadrs for walking around, picking up packages of unidentifiable (questionable) size, and saying "Wow, this is a great deal... only $35...". For WHAT? Is it 2-lbs? 6-lbs? 10lbs? You can't tell on camera. Sometimes they flash a pic of the lable, but not clear or long enough to read price-per-pound. Very frustrating!

TOO MANY CHOICES! The beef brisket looked good but it was SO big! Beef stewing meat is a good buy and you can put it into the crock pot or insta pot! Really good with homemade beef broth made from beef bones! 😊
I shop for one person for meat also and I like that you look at a piece of meat and estimate how many meals it will make. You comparison shop price per pound. These details are so important for these big ticket purchases. I’ve been keto/carnivore for 3 years and this summer is the hardest with the heat and drought - my mindset is weakening and I need my carnivore/keto community more than ever. Thank you.

@Jaylwoodworth I'm going to be somebody's bestest friend today? Costco you can get a *CASE* of *Chuck* *Roll* for $4.19 lb A Chuck Roll has all the Steaks some Ribeye, Denver Steaks still attached.. when they make Chuck Burger they cut all the expensive steaks out and all you get is the Chuck grind. So now you know why some Deli's have the best Burgers because they grind the whole chuck roll. You get 2 chuck rolls in a case, so just slice your steaks like 1 1/2 inches thick and vacuum seal them by daily portion. Comes to close to $290.00 but you have to buy a case to get the deal... Don't worry about getting bored like I said there's all kinds of different cuts in a whole chuck roll. *Beef* *Brisket* $3.79 lb that's a great deal also.

next time you're at costco ask one of the butcher guys about their whole chuck rolls.. normally $4.19 - 4.69 per lbs and they're 20 - 30 lbs each roll. Then you cut them into steaks.. freeze what you wont eat in a week. I just started that... huge cost savings. I dont even fuss with trying to properly butcher.. legit just cut it into 2 inch or larger slices.. its got chuck eye steaks, chuck roast, denver steaks in it.

I personally like the chew variety so i leave it all in, plus its a good source of collagen. I will sometimes put that stuff in the air fryer separately. Also if you are worried about any muscle meat being tough you could just dry brine it in the fridge before cooking.

Magnesium citrate is good to help keep you regular in the 💩 department. I used it when I first started carnivore, took a multi form (citrate, oxide and succinate), one every night, after I enjoyed a week of constipation. I know, TMI. Something to keep in mind if the change in way of eating, or frequency of eating, gives you problems in that area. Fantastic meat haul! Glad you were able to find your new favorite cut. Buffalo, venison or bison steaks would be awesome if you could find them, might be cost prohibitive though. I have friends who hunt, which helps a ton with venison.
Short ribs are tasty, my second favorite next to ribeyes but they’re always so pricey! Great food haul!

I live on a paltry pension of just £620 per month here in the UK. £300 per month goes on bills but I am lucky as I have no rent or mortgage to pay. So with a little over £75 a week budget my carnivore diet has to be as cheap as possible. Here is my shopping list every week. Two tins of sardines in spring water. £ 1.20 Two tins of mackerel fillets in spring water. £ 2.00 20% fat ground beef mince £ 2.49 1 kg chicken thighs £ 3.25 Pack of lambs liver £ 2.48 1 kg braising steak (chuck in the US) £10.00 18 eggs £ 4.50 Butter £ 1.69 Total cost of food per week.... £36.61 Since changing to this diet I am no longer a pre diabetic, I am off all medications, weight down from 89kgs to a healthy 76.5kgs and now have a slim stomach, no "boobs" and more energy. This diet has literally changed my health around and as you can see it does not have to cost a small fortune.

Hi Jay, I think you were wise to skip over the Sirloin. I have bought it a few times but find it is as tough as shoe-leather so I can't eat it. I would rather pay more and eat less and get the ribeye steaks. My true favorite is the New York Strip steaks especially when they include that nice thick fat on the side. I find them tasty and tender. I also love lamb... the Lion diet is all ruminant animals the ones with several stomachs. Some ruminant animals like goats will eat more than just grass. The short ribs are always more costly because of that very unique flavor that rib meat has. You can't beat the taste of Short ribs.

Oh, and it would probably mean that my food budget would triple. I try to pay less than $7 / lb, and most grass fed cuts are in the $20s / lb.
I just found your channel recently and I have been really enjoying watching. I am a new youtuber and have been dirty carnivore for 4 yrs. The benefits have been astounding!! I am getting ready to do the BBBE as well. I am going to do it week by week and post any noticable differences at the end of each week. I am hoping to find other KZreadrs to go in on a Colab with my channel for a week of eating only BBBE. I wish you tons of success! It looks like you are doing fantastic. @Jaylwoodworth

Does lamb qualify on the lion diet? I thought it was only beef.
I'm preparing to start carnivore on Monday the 15th. I don't often buy red meat, so I don't know what is a good price. Can anyone give me a good price range per pound of ground beef and some various steaks?

I outline the prices at Costco in the video. Recommend you watch other videos too, about stores in your area. Just search for the store name that you’re interested in in KZread Search.
Do you ever eat organs like liver or heart? I don't seem to have seen you buy them.

I eat liver a couple times per month. I bought several pounds 3 months ago and still have some in the freezer. I’ve never seen it at Costco so bought it at a different store.

How are you cooking the chuck roast and leg of lamb? Long cooking time I think. Are you tempted walking by the chocolate treats? Eek lol😂

I just fry them in my frying pan. They come out really good. It’s best to cook them on high heat so that they sear properly.

Hopefully they’ll start carrying it soon. It appeared in my Costco for the first time a couple of months ago. Remember, they call it Sirloin Top Cap in Costco. I didn’t even realize that it was the same thing as picanha until viewers pointed it out to me.
I look for the “R” on the large hamburger, it stands for regrind and it tastes amazing. Nice video, thanks 😃 my favorite so far is tri-tip. I buy it when it goes on sale.

For me, I find that egg yolks add a lot of nutrition and body to my diet. So I will continue to add 3 or 4 to my ground beef for the time-being.
Why dont any one on carnivire eat chicken? Please be the channel that answers me !!!
Why not canned sardines and mackeral.. Nutrients are sky high
I buy yuban coffee
was at costco today and picked up the frozen salmon. i had already bought 6 pounds of 80/20 ground beef on sale at Safeway for $2.49/lb. that is super cheap. it's probably not the best beef but fits my budget. i'll have to ask for the chub at costco. commenters said you can get that under $4 i think. i love your shopping vids but the brownies i can do without. i'm still in the stage where that visual is something i'd rather avoid. if i don't see it or hear about it, i'm fine😁 just had ground turkey, chicken, a 4th of july hot dog and some yogurt. it was really tasty and so far i never get sick of meat-based. now sardines, i do🤢. thanks for inspiring us!

Awesome. That’s been my experience too. One week in, lion diet has felt a bit like my first week of carnivore. I’ve been sluggish and feeling a bit out of it. But yesterday I started feeling better and today I feel great, am looking forward to talking about it on video later this week.

Hi Jay, I can't emphasise enough that you need to put your content on X as well as KZread. Elon is after the video market monopolised by KZread at present. Apparently, he pays a lot more. I suggest getting in on the ground floor. I'd love to see you getting paid a decent amount for the viewing hours you are generating for KZread. I fear, however, this will never happen as KZread are a woke company who are wasting cash like Twitter was before Elon bought it.
lion diet? there was no organ meats- thats the first thing they eat
