We wind up in hotel at times. For convience sake I keep a ziplock bag with paring knife salt, pepper, a couple forks and larger soup spoons in a pocket of suitcase. Really helps in a pinch. One less thing to worry about.
why so much fruit and veggies? that's not animals
We are not following Carnivore. Animal based includes fruit, honey, maple syrup, raw dairy. There’s more concise info in the description box.
Just seen that you posted another video! Just finished. Awesome haul i was wondering since you had mentioned weight last video if you are going to do weight updates like other youtubers i watch who do these diets? Man seeing two videos of all this food is making me real hungry 😂 keep up the hauls great work
I don’t know that I will do it like… regularly - but I may casually mention an amount of weight I lose!
Finished the video! I completely understand why your going animal based. My fiance has struggled with her weight for a long time after taking migraine medication that was a major weight gainer they never warned her and next thing ya know 6 years go by and she was so unhappy with her weight we have tried many things but just couldn't stick to them lack of discipline, and maybe an underlying medical issue. She has now been using zepbound shot for about 2 months and she is down like 30 pounds. I am really happy that your trying your best to help your child with his weight because in the world we live in it can be very brutal on your mental health he might not care at his age but once he gets in his teens are starts getting depressed because of his weight it can be a problem that longs into adulthood. You seem like a great mom and with animal based their is tons of ways to make treats the kids would love that are super healthy like ice cream! So maybe find a cookbook or check KZread! Excited to see your next video would like to see some meals that you cook up for yourself and the kids and would like to see what a haul from the butcher is like. Thank you!
Thank you for that! I appreciate it so much! It is really so hard to have medication have lingering effects. It’s so rough! I’m so glad she’s found something that is helping her! We’re working on finding good treats and such as we keep going we’re getting the hang of it! Thank you again for your encouragement! Glad to have you here!

I'm new, your going animal based. And Paul saldino doesn't have an Aldi haul excited to see this video I'm subscribing looking forward to future Aldi animal based hauls. Let me know the reason behind why your going animal based, what diet did you do before and why are you switching? Thanks in advance time to watch!
Your Aldi's is WAY CHEAPER than Conway, South Carolina's!!!??
That’s so strange how different the pricing can be!
there are so many things you can do with cottage cheese that your kids wont even know its there. like carnivore pancakes
also fruit juice is amazing as long as you find the stuff without added sugar. but prioritize watermelon and orange juice more then apple
I don’t know much about animal based eating. Can you tell me why no vegetables?
I have two links in the description - one of them is about why no vegetables! ♥️♥️♥️
Serve the cottage cheese with fruit or applesauce on top of it, makes it taste better
How is the new meal plan going?
We’re loving it!!!!
Picking up the camera after dealing with character issues is a struggle. There's beauty in being honest about it. ❤
So true, sister! It’s so important to show the good + acknowledge the bad!
Are you still moving? Curious buying bluk meat if you plan to move it to your new home. Seems like it would be hard.
We’re not sure when we will move or if we will stay local or leave the state at the moment. It would likely be a couple years if out of state. First step is getting our old house sold. Either way - buying meat in bulk is our only economical option.
You are doing a great job have a blessed day friend 🙏
Thank you!!
Good morning and happy Monday great groceries haul
Thank you!!
You're doing great. Love the budget .fresh food is great. Less sugar helps .
Love Carnivore! There are so many good benefits of Carnivore!
I love Carnivore! Don’t worry about what people think.
Good decision but that grocery haul should have only included what would be consumed in the new diet change - it includes natural whole one ingredient foods. You are the mother, your kids will eat what you serve them. Please follow Lillie Kane for great guidance. Also, even though its primarily keto, I believe you will benefit from watching a documentary called "The Magic Pill." I am astounded you are staying under that $200 range for 8 people per week. That is what I spend per week for just my husband and I and our pets.
This was 3 weeks ago. My children were slowly transitioned to a new way of eating as to not shock them or cause them resentment towards the change. Because I did it slowly they have fully embraced the change. Because you are right, I am their mother and I know best. Keep tuned as each week gets stricter and stricter with what I purchase. I am able to stay at $200-250 a week because I purchase our meat in bulk yearly!
@@FromHisBountifulBlessings I can't afford to buy a half a cow all at once and I do not have a place to store that much meat...I also cannot afford to get a freezer to hold that amount of meat. I think I would rather go back to getting Butch Box.
@tamiramos5873 That is a great option given your family size. We have two large deep freezers and I save up for it monthly to purchase our meat in bulk. For how many people we need to feed it’s the only cost effective way!
This is AMAZING! I’m very happy for you and your family!
Thank you!! ♥️
I was doing keto and then transition to carnivore and really loved it I felt good I lost weight and then I went off the wagon. Now I'm doing keto again to get rid of some of the stuff that I had for keto since my husband is not doing it anymore and we will go back on carnivore android. Unless somebody has been on the carnivore they have no idea what health benefits it has for you how it makes you feel a lot better peanut butter and jelly all around
100%! It’s funny how people just will not look into or listen to anything other than the mainstream!!!!
@@FromHisBountifulBlessings yes I agree and you look back to when the cavemen were here and they ate that and they were good. I know that it dates back. Although you were doing it a lot healthier as far as we did Dirty carnivore so not everything was grass-fed we did buy a grass-fed cow but the pork and everything like that was not and we still felt more clarity and thinking lost weight felt way better because of my health issues as well and I'm only 40
BS diet, go with low calorie, low fat, low sugar diet and exercise more!
Thanks! I did that for 3+ years with minimal results and high levels of frustration!!! Restrictive calorie’s, minimal sugars, good ol margarine and 4 days of CrossFit a week!! Tracking every detail just to see the scale never move - but I gained strength! You do you!!!
That’s fair enough , any diet has to suit the person doing it. If it didn’t work for you, you obviously wasn’t doing it properly
Or - maybe, I have underlying health issues such as insulin resistance and PCOS that requires something other than a one size fits all approach. I got to where I was eat only 1000 calories a day. But scale not moving… all because I didn’t know I was insulin resistant
Great decision for you and your family! Only you know what's best for you and your family. Can't wait to see your progress.
Thank you! I’m already seeing increased energy levels and playfulness out of Caleb. Other kids are feeling less snacky and more satisfied. Brackston and I are amazed at how little we need to feel satiated for hours on end and how much energy and balance we’re feeling!
You should check out the book "Metabolical" by Dr. Robert Lustig. Eye opener.
How is the new food plan working?
👍😎👍♥️😘
Are nuts something allowed on this food diet? If so , it’s a good source of protein, and you can get almond or cashew flour to make treats once in a while to replace the gluten even bread….. as far as the mold goes, my sister has successfully conquered it by a diet similar to yours as well as seeking a natural path who had her start apple cider vinegar among all others… I love Azure for the cheese!!!! Good luck, I am rooting for you.. potatoes may also be an option for flour also if allowed….we do a very similar diet, it’s fun!
Nuts are not allowed! This is extremely similar to carnivore ; but adding the fruit, dairy and maple syrup/honey. There is options for carnivore type flours ; but for now, we are just abstaining from baked goods except for on birthdays coming up - we will opt for a gluten free/seed oil free option!! The less we consume those types of things - the easier our bodies will detox/digest them when we do “treat” ourselves to them! The beginning of next year I do plan to start adding back in long fermented sourdough goodies! This initial period of “strictness” is for healing purposes!
@@FromHisBountifulBlessings I get it, I was just wondering
@@FromHisBountifulBlessings we raise as much of our own meats and vegetables as we can, what we can’t we get from azure…..
That is our long term goal!! ♥️♥️
@@FromHisBountifulBlessings find a house and land, and your half there:)
Its gonna be hard for Caleb. He is used to getting alot of snacks. It's also gonna be hard for the other children. They are gonna feel deprived
This grocery haul was over 3 weeks ago ; and all 6 of the kids are doing very well with the changes. Including Caleb - whose hunger which previously never seemed to be satisfied ; is now being satisfied. They do not feel deprived + actually report they feel fuller ; longer and feel more satisfied than with our previous meal plans.
@@FromHisBountifulBlessingsI'm glad to hear it's going well! We switched our kids to keto from a SAD 1 year ago and it was an adjustment, but it has been soooo worth it. Better emotional regulation, better impulse control, and a better growth rate. You go mama!
I'm super interested to see how this works out for yall.
Me too! We’re 3 weeks in, and so far it’s been really great for all of us. We did a slow introduction for all of June - and now here in July we’ve been more strict and it’s getting easier every day!!
I ran across someone on Twitter yesterday who was talking about how flour that is used and sold in the USA is illegal in almost every other country in the world. I wish I had listened to the entire video but had to go out. Now I can't find it. I intend to dig deeper into this. Thought you might want to look into it also. It may just be me, but do you think Caleb is doing much better since the move? He just looks and seems different. Of course, I only see clips of his life, but something seems better with him. As far as the diet you are starting your family on, I think it is a very smart decision. I think you will see some amazing results. Hope ya'll had a wonderful 4th of July!!
I have done a lot of research into flour! Milling your own is the best option ; but right now we are going to steer away from gluten for the rest of the year entirely. Then, next year I will add long fermented sourdough back into our diet using an unbleached unenriched organic flour. A great book I love to learn about this is The Essential Home Ground Flour book by Sue Becker! Caleb is definitely improving as far as mood, and his personality is bubbling out a lot more since we moved. That is mainly because our house was making us all very sick - and it affected Caleb and Syril the most! I plan to share more on this, when the house is finally sold - and we can close the chapter on that entirely. Thanks for tuning in Cathy! <3
Amanda ,you're the best mother you can be . You're doing what you need to do for your family . God will bring you through it, and I bet the children will benefit very well with it . Caleb looks much happier living where you're at now . I am excited to see how it works for your family . Prayers for you and your family, may God bless you !
Thank you so much for that encouragement, Connie! Caleb loves our new yard (well, all of our kids do!!) They are doing great with the new way of eating, and adjusting well! God Bless you!
@FromHisBountifulBlessings Their going to do great . Keep doing what you feel God leads you to do !
Thanks for sharing your new journey have a blessed day 🙏
You as well! Thank you for watching!

Good morning
The cost of groceries is crazy!
It really is!!!
Lol those boys are too cute. Josh n syril are twins. Good job Caleb. I love how he's making progress, how exciting
They really are! Syril is just as rambunctious as josh - which would be fun if he is just as big of a jokester as him too!
@FromHisBountifulBlessings well definitely busy place to be at your house. So many personalities. Great bunch though.
Haha that’s a good way to describe it! Keeps us on our toes for sure!
