What Can I Drink on a Carnivore Diet? Electrolytes to Alcohol and Everything In Between!
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 KZread 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."

@@59skupe There are a lot more Kombucha and pro-biotic drinks out there. I look for ones with 5 grams of carbs or less. Then I drink half the can half diluted with sparkling water.

A sparkling water with diluted kombucha or electrolytes for a pick me up if I need it and a sparkling water with dinner. More plain water afterwards. So I think if you are a moderator like me you can mix it up and do different things. Just be mindful of the carbs and the frequency. Oh and I forgot to mention long brewed rooiboos tea has no sugar, no caffeine. I add stevia leaves from my garden a cinnamon stick and a clove. I let it brew overnight and it has a sweet taste that is mild but enjoyable. I'll switch out caffeinated tea for this tea if caffeine is affecting my sleep. Long brewing stevia leaves tastes much better than processed stevia. Less bitter.

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 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.

Water is always a great drink. I love it, just plain water from a glass jug in the refrigerator.
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! 😃😃😃

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!

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.

Great video, thank you. The info is definitely appreciated and I feel semi-validated now in allowing some of my bridging drinks... knowing I can have them for now as I continue to transition into this way of eating.

You know I either buy just the little soda cans knowing I can have the whole thing...................... Or we have a place here called FIIZ where I can order specialty sugar free fountain drinks. My favorite is Diet Cocalada............... But I may have one 1x per month, it depends
Great video! Thanks for all the content you put out.
Thanks for clearing up and breaking down what I wanted to know.
I was watching a documentary about Roman legionaries and discovered they had an energy drink that they used when they couldn't get hold of weak beer or watered-down wine (their preferred drinks). This energy drink consisted of water mixed with a small amount of salt and vinegar. The modern equivalent would be a bottle of water with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt mixed in. It sounds gross, but it's actually amazingly refreshing after a workout.

@@katie7748 I tried the apple cider vinegar just recently but had to stop taking it, as it "severely agitated" my Rosachea, (irritable skin condition ) not sure of it's spelling. Needless to say, l stopped taking it. Anything acidic, such as Apple Cider Vinegar, tomatoes, oranges and lemons is a big no no for me. Also preventing sunburn (as best as l can) to my face will prevent my skin condition from being severely agitated.

The reason for weak beer and watered down wines; was the contaminated water; the alcohol helped with the bacteria and other nasty germs.
Be aware that regular heavy cream has additives like carrageenan, gums, and preservatives. The organic versions usually don't have those things or maybe just a gentler gum.

It’s nice to know that living longer doesn’t mean you have to eat bland food for the rest of your life.
Excellent presentation. This underscores the things I am doing right and is a motivator to keep on the straight and narrow. During winter when I need to warm up I'll have a cup of hot water with a little apple cider vinegar in it. No sweetner needed; I've acquired the taste for it and I believe it helps with digestion and decreased appetite. Thanks for this informative video! :-)

THANK YOU, Laura! Much appreciated.
just the video I was looking for ! amazing ! I just asked on another video of yours about bullet coffee as I thought it might be the reason my weight loss as stalled and you have answered in this video .! top channel ! So no more drinking fats just eating them ! Just water for me ftom now on ! Thank you Laura 😊
This is great, thank you!! I love fresh Meyer lemons in my water!!
Thanks for making this great video - very helpful! "Half frozen diet Coke" as an ice cream substitute - GENIUS!!
Definitely a help for me. I stumbled upon your channel. Many drinks that I consume are in the good group.
Exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Forgot to press record!! 💘love her already!!
I was addicted to coffee, soda, lemonade and hot chocolate. I cut all of them out completely (cold Turkey) and it’s been over a year. Only water and Pure Leaf Unsweet Tea just like the video. But sometimes, I cheat and drink Pure Leafs “Subtly Sweet” version with 5g of sugar and 5g carbs. Im a work in progress.
Poor You! I liked and subscribed just for hearing about your grief of having to redo the video! Glad I did too, great content! 👍😊
You look great 😊! Just trying carnivore. Been doing keto and I have been up and down too much . I have inflammation issues , hypothyroidism, bone on bone knees and a 10 CM hiatal hernia. I really like the simple eating choices , but I am a veggie and fruit 🍎 lover . Hoping I can still loose weight by not being able to walk well right now . I do some exercises stationary , bed ,chair and some knee ones . I am also doing intermittent fasting daily with this carnivore meal plan . This was helpful about drinks ! I sugar free tea and coffee with heavy cream . 2 cups of coffee and two Tbs cream when I finish my fast . Trying to do a six hour eating window . I enjoy your help and videos are helpful right now . Thank you 😊
Great video!! I will say that at this time in my weight loss. Down 40lbs in 4 months. I increased my Fat and lowered my carbs to under 20gr a day. Now on the carnivore way I have no carbs but continue to eat fats so I can increase my caloric intake.
I love mixing the Tazo Hibiscus passion tea as you have in the picture with Dr Bergs electrolytes and his wheat grass.
“Never hit record.” We’ve all been there. :). Thank you for your videos. Just starting Carnivore today.
This was much better second time around 😂… thank you, very helpful!
This is a great subject ! I'm low carb carnivore now and struggling to get rehydrated . I have a smart scale and it shows really low on water now . It is really hard to get that number back up !!! 🥴
What helped me was Zevia soda. No dyes, not artificial sweeteners (organic stevia leaf is what they use instead of sugar and it doesnt spike your blood sugar) and just carbonated water

Zevia does have added “natural flavors” which are definitely unnatural additives that cause cravings.
Wow, you appeared to do that in one take! Lots of great information well presented. Bravo!
Thank you Laura! I watched a couple other what can you drink on Carnivore videos. I probably will not watch any more as your's explained everything really well, and I enjoyed that you didn't have a horribly black & white way of explaining it. I'd never heard that bit about the liver has to stop processing fat to finish up the alcohol first is Perfect incentive to switch to only weekend alcohol.

How has that gone for you?
Drinking Raw milk has some incredible studies behind it for probiotics, hormone health, and several minerals. However there is Lactose and fat so in terms of weight loss you have to make sure you don’t over do it, similar to the Heavy Cream.

Most of those I don't touch at anytime. I started carnivore 5 weeks ago I've lost 5.4 ks. I am a black tea drinker who could easily do 8/10 cups a day I have brought it down to 2 or 3 per day. Just not ready to let it go completely.. Love your videos. Even had my hubby sit and watch your hubby today. Thanks for keeping it real. Hugs from South Australia
Thanks for pointing out the aspartame in diet drinks.
