I have some interesting ideas for them and would love to build more of their products and showcase them, but they haven't followed up since.

Have you noticed the cable temps when charging at 100A? I reduced my setting to 60A and a lot less heat is generated while still charging at around 3.2kW per hour.
@GaryMeatsLife3 күн бұрын
I can't say that I have monitored this, but the cables are well within the safe zone for 100A sustained. I also need to take full advantage of the charging speed to make sure my battery is full within the 4 hour hour window. Next month, I will be adding a second battery and in time, I will be increasing my supply capacity to allow for additional batteries to charge, but the highest the cables will see is 100A. I will be upgrading to a larger gauge down the line to keep everything cool though.

Hi Gary, I have a Solis hybrid 5KW inverter, and I'm using it with 16 EVE 304 cells and a JK inverter BMS with an active balancer. I've been running this setup for the past five months. The JK BMS communicates the state of charge (SOC) to the inverter, but the SOC keeps drifting over time. Here's the issue: even when the BMS indicates a 100% SOC, the voltages drift slightly lower with each cycle. Over the weeks, the SOC gradually drifts, so while it shows 100%, each cell and the overall pack voltage are slightly lower than the previous cycle. If I adjust the battery capacity settings, the BMS resets to 70% SOC, and the inverter charges another 3 or 4 kWh. This SOC drift is frustrating because on cloudy days, my 16 kWh battery effectively only charges to 11 or 12 kWh. The remaining 4 kWh stays uncharged because the BMS incorrectly reports 100% SOC to the inverter. To fully charge the battery, I have to keep changing the capacity settings in the BMS back and forth. Is there a way to use this inverter without CAN communication or by setting it as a generic battery? If anyone else has the same issue or knows a solution, please comment and suggest how to fix this problem. Thanks!

I'm only somewhat familiar with my setup, so can't comment much on the JK BMS. I don't know what active balancer you have, or what triggers it. I intend to hit the balance button on my battery pack at least one per month to help keep the voltages more closely aligned. With your 16kWh capacity, you'll only have 13-13.5kWh really available if you have set the max charge and discharge voltages to 10 and 90%. My discharge is set to 85% with forced charging at 90% depleted. As far as I know, you need to use the CAN between the battery and the inverter. The generic battery setting on the Solis is "user defined". This is actually what I am using and I have an updated video on the settings I will be releasing in the next 48 hours. You can check out the first settings video I already have uploaded and that might help you out. You might also check you are using the correct settings on the BMS for whatever battery chemistry/type you are using. Again, i'm not familiar with JK, so you would have to look more into that yourself.

Active Balancer signal from BMS happens when "Cell Diff" Alert is triggered. So, modify settings at BMS Studio so cell diff trigger is the same than Active Balancer setting for start balancing. According to Active Balance documentation is 40mV but by default is set much higher. Don't know why Seplos did it.

Is there settings I may need to change if I add a second battery?
@GaryMeatsLife14 күн бұрын
I have yet to add a second battery to my system. I will be doing this next month. Logic would tell me that the second battery would be set up just like the first battery in the BMS Studio, with the exception that the DIP switch setting would be different than the first battery. The total capacity should update on the inverter. In the event I find this to be inaccurate, I will update here. For now, this is what I have. Assuming you are adding batteries in parallel: On page 26 of the manual for the SEPLOS Vertical 280Ah Battery Pack, the DIP settings for a single battery will be all OFF. When adding a second battery, you need to set the first battery DIP to pin 5 ON. On the second battery, you need to set pin 1 ON. If adding a third battery, the setting for banks 1,2 and 3 are Pin 6 ON, Pin 1 On and Pin 2 ON with respect to each battery in that order. When adding a 4th battery bank, the DIP settings become slightly more complex. Up to 16 battery packs can be connected in parallel according to the manual. Please refer to the user manual for clarification, as the settings are only accurate at the time of this post and may also be misinterpreted.

Hi from Australia, I have same inverter, using jk inverter BMS, I have a problem with state of charge, after few months of charging discharging cycles, SOC drifts, JK BMS shows 100% after each charge cycle but voltage is lowered in each cycle (in realty it is 70 to 80%). After 7 or 8 cycles, despite showing 100% the battery is 2 or 3 kWh lower in capacity. When 100% SOC, if I change the capacity in BMS settings and change it to the same value, the SOC drops to 60 or 70% and then Solis inverter starts charging for another 2 or 3 kWh. The shift in SOC by Jk BMS is becoming pain, please advise if anyone has any suggestions to fix this issue.
@GaryMeatsLife28 күн бұрын
I am by no means an expert, but it sounds like your cells are out of balance. The BMS will show 100% when the first cell reaches 100%. If this cell is out of balance by an average of 10% to the other cells, then the actual state of charge would be around 90%. To the end user, it looks like the capacity is drifting, when in fact the BMS is just protecting the cell which has the highest voltage. If you balance the cells, this should make the lost capacity available to you again....for a while, but it will drift again. You could balance them every 4-6 months, or as often as you like. A passive balancer won't do a proper job with cells far out of balance. You need an active balancer, or you can do a manual top balance.

@GaryMeatsLife28 күн бұрын
Hi Alan. As mentioned in the video, the kit was purchased from www.fogstar.co.uk for about €600. It cost me €50 for it to be dropped off in Northern Ireland where I collected from. The battery cells were from www.eu.nkon.nl and the 16 B Grade cells cost a little over €1200 delivered. If you already have the tools and don't need to buy anything else, I would put a round figure of €2,000 on it, because you will ultimately need to spend money on something else. Fogstar sell the Seplos pre-made for about €2,300 (depending on exchange rate) which is not bad when you consider that the WECO 5kWh battery is being sold for €2,000 for a third of the battery capacity. Pylontech have a slightly smaller rack battery for a little under €1,500. It can be a bit daunting building a battery, even with a kit supplied and you do take on the risk of damaging the battery, your inverter, or both, so caution is advised. I have spent hundreds more on tools and materials, but much of these are tools I wanted to buy anyway, such as hydraulic and RJ45 crimps. I needed. I spent a few hundred on wood for cabinets, but I have improved the part of my property the batteries will be located which is now dry and more pleasant to be in. I'll include these side details in the final video. I know DIY batteries are popular here amongst the enthusiasts, but I wouldn't say they are common, including the likes of the Seplos kits. I have a second one ordered which I will be collecting when I drive to Germany later this month. I plan to have a third battery before the end of the year. With the cabinets built, I might even sell the seplos kits and replace them with bare cells, BMS and balancers. Someone will be blessed with a bargain. I may even offer to hook the battery up if they are local enough to me. I'll see how things go. I'm enjoying the ride, challenging as it has been for a newbie.

This is an easy fix, don't panic. You have a capacity warning because your cell capacity is 305Ah and your settings on the BMS are set to 290Ah. Once you change this in the BMS Studio, the warning will disappear. But I stress, it's not a warning you need to be concerned about. I haven't made a BMS Studio video yet, but if you need help, let me know. You will need to connect with a special RJ45 and change a couple of settings. Look at post #2 in this forum below. It was the info that moved me forward. Also check out post #11 for the parameters you should change. Read the whole thread and make sure you select the baud rate of 19200 when making the connection. This rate will also need to be changed on your inverter. If you have a solis inverter, my other video covers that. diysolarforum.com/threads/seplos-v3-bms-no-port-com-connection.85837/#post-1131983

Hi. The trick with the balance cables is to look at the length. One set is longer than the other and the longer set of course will go to the set of cells furthest from the connections, which is the "B" set of cells, which are 9-16. Each wire has a label which also tells you where they need to go. All wires on the balance cable go to the positive terminals with the exception of the 2 extra wires which go to negative 1 and negative 9. So, yes, most wires connect to the positive terminals. The temperature sensors connect to the negative terminals, as does the Active Balancer negative power wire. Good Luck with the build

This is true of all other carnivorous species I can think of, so the line is not so autistic as you suggest. In reality, I call it carnivore-plus (though someone suggested carnivore-ish on another channel). My diet is almost exclusively animal based and with an amount of chocolate on par with the non meat content of a cup of coffee. I eat 2 squares of 85% chocolate most days. I enjoy it and it helps me stay on track. Using the term carnivore is intentional, as it is the term which brought me the very content I digested while preparing for the diet. Many of the content producers were "carnivore", but drank tea/coffee, ate ice-cream, drank juice and many other variants around an otherwise core carnivore diet. I would be doing people no favours if I was dishonestly reporting on my journey, or the results. I am being completely up-front here and I would argue that this content helps a lot more people than you might think it hinders. I am mere days away from 4 months on this journey and I am going strong. I have no ailments anymore and I am still realising that I no longer have certain ailments that were just in the background...such as eye twitching every few days, it no longer happens. Even my back pain is reducing, which I did not expect to happen, because that is a result of nerve damage. I haven't felt the need to burst into a store and raid the chocolate aisle just yet.

Hi Gary, Im 2 weeks in to the carnivore diet and I have lost 11lbs. But I find myself always hungry therefore consuming a lot of beef, is this normal?
@GaryMeatsLife3 ай бұрын
Speaking strictly not as a Doctor, or nutritionist, I would suggest that if you are both hungry and still losing weight, you should firstly eat more meat and secondly, make sure there is nothing else afoot. While I am sure the weight loss is related to positive change, you should check with your GP/Doc to make sure everything else is OK. I would suggest that perhaps you may not be getting enough fat in your beef intake, but I don’t know what you are eating exactly. I eat ribeye because it is fatty and delicious. Cooked in butter and seasoned in salt only. You need the high fat content to tell your body you have plenty to feed from. Be sure you are getting no carbs or sugars and that the meat is not processed. Try this and see how you get on. I’d love to hear back from you in a week or so.

@GaryMeatsLife4 ай бұрын
I’ve been fortunate with having no negative side effects of the diet and because of risk and side effects, I’ve always been flat against diets. The carnivore lifestyle just made a lot of sense to me, but the body sometimes needs an adjustment period. The recommended time to really give it a chance is 3 months. Why do it? Because you choose to and because there was a good reason for you choosing to. Consider how you are eating and what you are eating. Remember you need electrolytes and I take vitamin C too every day. It’s been working well so far. Good luck.

I’d be more concerned about the coffee than the cream. The answer I would have to say is “it depends”. It depends on your goals. Coffee is not animal based, but if you need coffee in order to keep you on the meat diet, then it’s not the worst. See how it goes for you and maybe try cut down on it. The lemon juice is probably no harm, but I suppose lots of small things add up to complicated. I use a lemon flavoured electrolyte tablet.

I had a lower back operation in 2005 and ever since then it was stiff and sometimes was very painful for a while where I had to lie down most of the time to rest it. Late 2018 I started carnivore but it made no difference to my back until November 2022 when I started making my own slow cooked stews (bone broth), I added steak, chuck or brisket meat into a slow cooker with a cup of vinegar and a small potato or onion and some soup bones, neck bones, back bones or marrow bones, cook it all for 12 to 18 hours and then I eat everything in the pot including the very soft bones (not many of these). No more back stiffness or pain since December 2022 and I can now sprint and run as well, I try to eat at least one of these stews a month.

I eat when hungry, which is usually two or three times daily. Sometimes more often in smaller amounts. My meals are as small as 2 eggs, or as large as 2 x 200g steaks. Of course meat is more filling. My advice is to be prepared before you start. Salt, electrolytes, good meats and consider any times you might find it challenging so you can plan ahead and work around. Eating at work, or on holiday/vacation for example could pose a challenge. I stop eating if it stops being delicious…..so not often during a meal 😊

By far the best video on how to put the Seplos V3 together. All the other videos, including Seplos themselves, rush over the most complex bit, which is the wiring! And the documentation is shambolic when it comes to working out what goes where. I just put mine together in around 3 hours, and would have been 3 days if it wasn't for your video! Huge thanks and I really hope that Seplos link to this in their videos.
I'm happy the video helped you out Jonny. I noticed the same lack of simple assembly instructions, so I put these videos together for people like you and me, who just want to know where to connect this and that and get it working. Seplos thanked me in one of my other videos and suggested and implied an interest in me showcasing their products. I have some interesting ideas for them and would love to build more of their products and showcase them, but they haven't followed up since. I enjoy building and sharing stuff that cuts the learning curve for others. I hope my other videos are just as helpful to you. Well done on completing the build!
Have you noticed the cable temps when charging at 100A? I reduced my setting to 60A and a lot less heat is generated while still charging at around 3.2kW per hour.
I can't say that I have monitored this, but the cables are well within the safe zone for 100A sustained. I also need to take full advantage of the charging speed to make sure my battery is full within the 4 hour hour window. Next month, I will be adding a second battery and in time, I will be increasing my supply capacity to allow for additional batteries to charge, but the highest the cables will see is 100A. I will be upgrading to a larger gauge down the line to keep everything cool though.
Hi Gary, I have a Solis hybrid 5KW inverter, and I'm using it with 16 EVE 304 cells and a JK inverter BMS with an active balancer. I've been running this setup for the past five months. The JK BMS communicates the state of charge (SOC) to the inverter, but the SOC keeps drifting over time. Here's the issue: even when the BMS indicates a 100% SOC, the voltages drift slightly lower with each cycle. Over the weeks, the SOC gradually drifts, so while it shows 100%, each cell and the overall pack voltage are slightly lower than the previous cycle. If I adjust the battery capacity settings, the BMS resets to 70% SOC, and the inverter charges another 3 or 4 kWh. This SOC drift is frustrating because on cloudy days, my 16 kWh battery effectively only charges to 11 or 12 kWh. The remaining 4 kWh stays uncharged because the BMS incorrectly reports 100% SOC to the inverter. To fully charge the battery, I have to keep changing the capacity settings in the BMS back and forth. Is there a way to use this inverter without CAN communication or by setting it as a generic battery? If anyone else has the same issue or knows a solution, please comment and suggest how to fix this problem. Thanks!

I'm only somewhat familiar with my setup, so can't comment much on the JK BMS. I don't know what active balancer you have, or what triggers it. I intend to hit the balance button on my battery pack at least one per month to help keep the voltages more closely aligned. With your 16kWh capacity, you'll only have 13-13.5kWh really available if you have set the max charge and discharge voltages to 10 and 90%. My discharge is set to 85% with forced charging at 90% depleted. As far as I know, you need to use the CAN between the battery and the inverter. The generic battery setting on the Solis is "user defined". This is actually what I am using and I have an updated video on the settings I will be releasing in the next 48 hours. You can check out the first settings video I already have uploaded and that might help you out. You might also check you are using the correct settings on the BMS for whatever battery chemistry/type you are using. Again, i'm not familiar with JK, so you would have to look more into that yourself.

The next gadget you should invest in is a go pro :D
@@Dizzythedes But then you wouldn’t see my pretty face 😘. I figure if someone can’t follow the instructions on the available angles, they should Go hire a Pro.
Active Balancer signal from BMS happens when "Cell Diff" Alert is triggered. So, modify settings at BMS Studio so cell diff trigger is the same than Active Balancer setting for start balancing. According to Active Balance documentation is 40mV but by default is set much higher. Don't know why Seplos did it.
I believe cell drift is set to 50mV and should bring cells to within 3mV after active balancing. It’s good habit to hit the balance button on a monthly basis when the battery is topped up.
@@GaryMeatsLife30mV only. From this point is passive balancer task, unfortunately.
We have a Solis 6kw hybrid inverter and a volt protection device before it. The device shows 2 amp import from grid but the inverter app shows that grid is not being used. What is the issue?
Small discrepancies seem to be commonplace between the inverter display and the APP. This is not just a Solis issue from what I have read. Like any electromechanical device, there will be a tolerance and this seems to be +/- 300W from my observations without detailed understanding or investigation. I hope that helps.
@@GaryMeatsLife the problem is that I haven't seen it 0 on the device even in peak sunlight hours. The device shows 2 to 3 amps. Could you please also mention what should be the CT direction and ratio and what is the criteria for setting this value?
@@wassaufkhalid8593I’ll pretext this by saying I’m a mechanical engineer and not an electrical engineer, so my understanding on this is limited and is gleaned from reading up on specialist contributions on online fora. The device will use a few amps and this may not be recorded in the APP output. Unless it is causing you to import/export unnecessarily, I would personally not worry about it. The inverter CT should point from the CU to the grid. I can’t advise on ratios. These settings are typically default values on the inverter and may only change when another relevant value is changed. The video is only intended for basic setup guidance. There are other channels which would cover settings on a deeper level. The solar DIY forum is also a great resource to troubleshoot.

Is there settings I may need to change if I add a second battery?
I have yet to add a second battery to my system. I will be doing this next month. Logic would tell me that the second battery would be set up just like the first battery in the BMS Studio, with the exception that the DIP switch setting would be different than the first battery. The total capacity should update on the inverter. In the event I find this to be inaccurate, I will update here. For now, this is what I have. Assuming you are adding batteries in parallel: On page 26 of the manual for the SEPLOS Vertical 280Ah Battery Pack, the DIP settings for a single battery will be all OFF. When adding a second battery, you need to set the first battery DIP to pin 5 ON. On the second battery, you need to set pin 1 ON. If adding a third battery, the setting for banks 1,2 and 3 are Pin 6 ON, Pin 1 On and Pin 2 ON with respect to each battery in that order. When adding a 4th battery bank, the DIP settings become slightly more complex. Up to 16 battery packs can be connected in parallel according to the manual. Please refer to the user manual for clarification, as the settings are only accurate at the time of this post and may also be misinterpreted.
hello Gary! nice and good video .. do you have a video with the setting on the BMS studio?
I have yet to make that video. Unfortunately my PC died on me recently and I lost some data. You may need to use an altered RJ45 utilising pin 1,2 and 5. See my responses to @banhvo4958 for more info. Using any old lan cable could cause damage to the BMS. The settings you will want to change are: Settings - Baud rate 19200 and access COM 5 Parameter settings: Line 89 and 90 (capacity) 305Ah Line 102 (Voltage) I set to 56V, as the standard 57.6 was too high for my liking. I think that is all I changed. If you see Ah setting at 290Ah, change those to 305Ah if your capacity is 305Ah.
You will need to replicate some of these setting on your inverter if the batteries and inverter are to work in harmony. See my inverter settings video for help on this.
@GaryMeatsFood I have make a new cable with pin 1,2 and 5 and now I can connect to the bms ... but now when I set AoBo protocol on invertor there is an Alarm as batname fail. If i set on user define is no alarm
@@VladBYT If AoBo gives alarm, or battery fail warning, then user define is OK to use. You will need to change some settings on the inverter, especially the floating voltage and equalisation voltage. I set mine to 57V and 56.7V respectively.
@@VladBYT Also the reason why you have battery fail alarm is most likely because the battery protocol setting on the BMS has not been set. I believe it needs to be plyontech in the software if you are to use AoBo on the inverter. However, user define is perfectly fine.

Hi from Australia, I have same inverter, using jk inverter BMS, I have a problem with state of charge, after few months of charging discharging cycles, SOC drifts, JK BMS shows 100% after each charge cycle but voltage is lowered in each cycle (in realty it is 70 to 80%). After 7 or 8 cycles, despite showing 100% the battery is 2 or 3 kWh lower in capacity. When 100% SOC, if I change the capacity in BMS settings and change it to the same value, the SOC drops to 60 or 70% and then Solis inverter starts charging for another 2 or 3 kWh. The shift in SOC by Jk BMS is becoming pain, please advise if anyone has any suggestions to fix this issue.
I am by no means an expert, but it sounds like your cells are out of balance. The BMS will show 100% when the first cell reaches 100%. If this cell is out of balance by an average of 10% to the other cells, then the actual state of charge would be around 90%. To the end user, it looks like the capacity is drifting, when in fact the BMS is just protecting the cell which has the highest voltage. If you balance the cells, this should make the lost capacity available to you again....for a while, but it will drift again. You could balance them every 4-6 months, or as often as you like. A passive balancer won't do a proper job with cells far out of balance. You need an active balancer, or you can do a manual top balance.
Hi Gary, the 3 battery videos are really good. Can you please share the cost of the Seplos 15 kwh unit? I'm considering adding an off grid system with Solis 6K and 10 -15 kwh batteries. Currently have a grid tied system and cannot expand it any more. Are you aware of many clients in Ireland that have already installed the Seplos battery?
Hi Alan. As mentioned in the video, the kit was purchased from www.fogstar.co.uk for about €600. It cost me €50 for it to be dropped off in Northern Ireland where I collected from. The battery cells were from www.eu.nkon.nl and the 16 B Grade cells cost a little over €1200 delivered. If you already have the tools and don't need to buy anything else, I would put a round figure of €2,000 on it, because you will ultimately need to spend money on something else. Fogstar sell the Seplos pre-made for about €2,300 (depending on exchange rate) which is not bad when you consider that the WECO 5kWh battery is being sold for €2,000 for a third of the battery capacity. Pylontech have a slightly smaller rack battery for a little under €1,500. It can be a bit daunting building a battery, even with a kit supplied and you do take on the risk of damaging the battery, your inverter, or both, so caution is advised. I have spent hundreds more on tools and materials, but much of these are tools I wanted to buy anyway, such as hydraulic and RJ45 crimps. I needed. I spent a few hundred on wood for cabinets, but I have improved the part of my property the batteries will be located which is now dry and more pleasant to be in. I'll include these side details in the final video. I know DIY batteries are popular here amongst the enthusiasts, but I wouldn't say they are common, including the likes of the Seplos kits. I have a second one ordered which I will be collecting when I drive to Germany later this month. I plan to have a third battery before the end of the year. With the cabinets built, I might even sell the seplos kits and replace them with bare cells, BMS and balancers. Someone will be blessed with a bargain. I may even offer to hook the battery up if they are local enough to me. I'll see how things go. I'm enjoying the ride, challenging as it has been for a newbie.

Hi Gary Just finished, turn battery on,amber and green light on and ----WARN----Y check it out: CAPA---WARN. Please help,what can I fix this. Thank you
This is an easy fix, don't panic. You have a capacity warning because your cell capacity is 305Ah and your settings on the BMS are set to 290Ah. Once you change this in the BMS Studio, the warning will disappear. But I stress, it's not a warning you need to be concerned about. I haven't made a BMS Studio video yet, but if you need help, let me know. You will need to connect with a special RJ45 and change a couple of settings. Look at post #2 in this forum below. It was the info that moved me forward. Also check out post #11 for the parameters you should change. Read the whole thread and make sure you select the baud rate of 19200 when making the connection. This rate will also need to be changed on your inverter. If you have a solis inverter, my other video covers that. diysolarforum.com/threads/seplos-v3-bms-no-port-com-connection.85837/#post-1131983

Hi Gary I m assembly same battery as you, they give me 2 sets of active balance cable, all mark as B 😢 and in 1 set they have B0 black. I don't have any clue where it go ! One more question, most of wire go to positive stud of battery cell?
Hi. The trick with the balance cables is to look at the length. One set is longer than the other and the longer set of course will go to the set of cells furthest from the connections, which is the "B" set of cells, which are 9-16. Each wire has a label which also tells you where they need to go. All wires on the balance cable go to the positive terminals with the exception of the 2 extra wires which go to negative 1 and negative 9. So, yes, most wires connect to the positive terminals. The temperature sensors connect to the negative terminals, as does the Active Balancer negative power wire. Good Luck with the build
I got 2 times b9-b16 ;) haha and now I am waiting the seller ship me correct one
so it seems to be common that they are not taking care to send correct ones with the box

Thank you. Recently learned about this. Always a good reminder.
Great work well do e it will be intresting to see ur blood results
Well explained, I wasn't aware of the baud rate settings.
Well done keep it up
Be careful of items like chocolate bars that say may contain gluten they generally do contain gluten. The smallest amount of gluten is enough to trigger immune response. The immune response can take months to resolve. Stay away from fruit and honey to resolve nafl. For the "science" behind this check out "wheat belly" Dr William Davies and low carb down under on KZread. Glad to see you are still getting benefits from your new path
If you are eating chocolate you are not doing carnivore, plain and simple. Call it anything else other than carnivore. You are not doing anyone any good by calling it carnivore.
2 comments in the one video :) . Again, I appreciate the comment and feedback. Would you apply the same restriction to applying salt to the meat? Are like likes of Dr. Ken Berry not carnivores because they add salt to their meat? Granted, I've never seen a lion whip out a sachet of salt or pepper and sprinkle it over the gazelle before tucking in. Lions are the best known carnivores, but even they sometimes eat grass and plants to obtain certain minerals and fibrous material. They are still carnivores, right? This is true of all other carnivorous species I can think of, so the line is not so autistic as you suggest. In reality, I call it carnivore-plus (though someone suggested carnivore-ish on another channel). My diet is almost exclusively animal based and with an amount of chocolate on par with the non meat content of a cup of coffee. I eat 2 squares of 85% chocolate most days. I enjoy it and it helps me stay on track. Using the term carnivore is intentional, as it is the term which brought me the very content I digested while preparing for the diet. Many of the content producers were "carnivore", but drank tea/coffee, ate ice-cream, drank juice and many other variants around an otherwise core carnivore diet. I would be doing people no favours if I was dishonestly reporting on my journey, or the results. I am being completely up-front here and I would argue that this content helps a lot more people than you might think it hinders. I am mere days away from 4 months on this journey and I am going strong. I have no ailments anymore and I am still realising that I no longer have certain ailments that were just in the background...such as eye twitching every few days, it no longer happens. Even my back pain is reducing, which I did not expect to happen, because that is a result of nerve damage. I haven't felt the need to burst into a store and raid the chocolate aisle just yet.
@@GaryMeatsLife you look like you are doing great on carnivore- be careful that any indulgences are gluten free (even trace amounts) or you will never get the full benefit of our ancestral diet. coffee, chocolate and nuts (peanuts are legumes not nuts) are not going to damage too much in the short run and probably have pleasurable connotations that you can work on breaking to keep the pleasure and drop the trigger. Once your gut is 100% healthy you will look back on those little indulgences with a different perspective and you will know yourself how great you feel every day without any external stimulants. Once you arrive at great gut health (which you are moving towards) anything which disrupts it will be unappealing to you. It is a journey and you are well on your way - good luck with your channel which seems to draw a lot of trolls so you must be doing something right!
@@theghostofJamesUganda Thanks for your well considered comment. You are spot on with your observations. I have been getting results wholly unexpected and I feel great for it. I simply couldn’t return to my old diet. It’s not worth the pain and discomfort I had daily, half of which I wasn’t aware of. I honestly don’t know what my diet will look like in 3,4,6 months time. It could full carnivore or it could be meat and fruit. As long as I can be healthy, feel good, have consistent energy and be around the 90kg mark, I will be a happy man. I’ll keep posting monthly and hopefully it keeps a few souls motivated and informed. Thanks again.
@@GaryMeatsLife When you go "full carnivore" if you have some wild sockeye salmon just before bed you will wake up with a big smile if you know what I mean ;-)
Plants are toxic. We need as many people as possible eating this way. The pandemic of metabolic disease is crushing to my soul to watch
It's all about moderating. Some people are better at it than others. Find what works for you.
Yeah, very true. It's all great experience and makes it a little more interesting for me.
An alcoholic can try to moderately drink alcohol but I don't think that will work out too well. In the same context, sugar addicts will find it very difficult to moderate their carb intake. If anyone proposes that eating the crappy Standard American Diet in moderation is healthy than they need to do more research. The SAD diet is full of sugar, seed oils, toxins, etc.
@@patrickh709 Thanks for the comment and I largely agree with you. The SAD, or the diet largely shared by many nations is full of sugar, seed oils and toxins. However, I do think it's possible to moderate if you set your mind and fix it. For example; some on the carnivore diet have a coffee each day, or a tea, or like myself...a piece of chocolate and can do just fine like that. A little flexibility can make it easier to stick to a rigid diet. For some, they wouldn't have the will power and probably won't last on a carnivore style diet anyway. It's about being honest with yourself and what you are willing and able to do long term.
Im just going from keto to carnivore so good to hear about your progress!
My latest video was published on Wednesday. I’m sure your transition will be simple. Good luck with it.
Where do u buy ur steaks
I mostly buy them at LIDL. Sometimes I cut my own if I buy a chuck from the butcher.
Amazing well done keep going i think its great the way u have approached this 💪😎
Thanks. It has to be sustainable, so this is my way of doing it.
@@GaryMeatsLife amazing u know ur down 33lb since u started great achievement
@@johnparker1434 Yeah, 15kg, or 33lbs, or 2.36st. Feeling the difference.
Sausage cooked in fish and chip shops are fried in vegetable oils..... buy local, cook up a batch and refrigerate them for snacks later.... can always reheat or eat cold.
Yes, they are. Nothing healthy about them. For me, it's about finding what works for me and while a chip shop sausage is not a healthy snack, or meal, it helps me stick to the big picture. I do think I will cut these unhealth items out at some stage. This month has become more about testing my body responses to crap foods in small quantities. I even had a coke which had been sitting in the refrigerator for a week. More on that in the next video.
I can see that you are thinner from your last video!!!!! good job
Thankfully it has not been very difficult for me. I consider myself lucky that I haven't suffered some of the initial side effects, such as keto-flu, or constipation. It's been quite smooth overall.
Congrats you are helping humanity waking up
Thanks. Most of the credit goes to the people who have taken the time to do this before me. The information out there has been so helpful and I am only happy to make a contribution.
Hi Gary, Im 2 weeks in to the carnivore diet and I have lost 11lbs. But I find myself always hungry therefore consuming a lot of beef, is this normal?
Speaking strictly not as a Doctor, or nutritionist, I would suggest that if you are both hungry and still losing weight, you should firstly eat more meat and secondly, make sure there is nothing else afoot. While I am sure the weight loss is related to positive change, you should check with your GP/Doc to make sure everything else is OK. I would suggest that perhaps you may not be getting enough fat in your beef intake, but I don’t know what you are eating exactly. I eat ribeye because it is fatty and delicious. Cooked in butter and seasoned in salt only. You need the high fat content to tell your body you have plenty to feed from. Be sure you are getting no carbs or sugars and that the meat is not processed. Try this and see how you get on. I’d love to hear back from you in a week or so.
@@GaryMeatsLife Thank you.
This was a struggle to listen to. I guess it wasn't really providing the stats of betterment upfront.
Such as its been 2 months and i have lost 20lbs. Grease your chair as well.
That’s what Twitter/X is for buddy. This channel is commentary on my journey. Optional listening and maybe not your cup of tea. I’ll set up video shorts especially for you next time 😉 or put stats in the bottom so you won’t hear my chair squeak 😂
You’ll regret the chocolate 🍫 If you’re a food addict like most of us it’s a trigger that leads to relapse. Hope you make it through.
I wanted to wait a while before responding to this. I am happy to report that so far, I am not regretting the chocolate, but I do understand how it could easily result in the undoing of all the good work. I'll be sure to mention this in the next video.
Chocolate? kzread.info/dash/bejne/noF6yrSBosmrlMY.htmlsi=P9cZ1CD7rr3EKleY
I'm enjoying your take on the carnivore diet. I'm trying but failing on the chocolate too. 😋
I would take the view that any food which causes you to feel like you are failing, or cheating is not worth eating. I’m comfortable with the chocolate, but I recognise I’m not enjoying it if I’m eating too frequently. I had 1 small piece today, but I am on holiday and it was that, or a German Waffle! I’m doing well on day 2 in Germany. Almost exclusively eating meat.
Well done keep going its only 2 months so u got great results so far im going try it myself
For sure. Get prepared and enjoy the ride.
@GaryMeatsFood I'm sure you won't take my advice, because it seems like you're already too deep into the dogma...but...yu ALSO sound extremely intelligent so i will try......... "carnivore" diets are a nonsense fad being promoted by zealots, narcissists and grifters.........we saw the same pattern and phenomenon on social media with vegan, raw vegan, fruitarian, fasting, raw till 4, keto, paleo........... ALL of those fads were heavily and pretentious promited by "influencers and doctors"....selling books....making money.....seeking fame and attention ... Humans are omnivores. Plant foods have myriad benefits. Modern processed foods are the causes poor health. Not plants.
Carnivore for 3 years getting younger every day
Great idea/design - just out of interest, did you consider a telescopic sliding gate setup? And if so why did you go with a hybrid setup - I prefer your setup for what you have but just wondering.
I did consider telescopic among other designs. For the complexity involved in the setup of a telescopic system and the lesser benefits, including the loss of pedestrian access without the hybrid design, I decided against telescopic.
@@GaryMeatsLife thanks for quick reply. Yes I agree 👍
Only about three weeks on carnivore, but aside of a terrible constipation followed by a moderate diarrhea, I noticed practically no change in blood pressure, blood glucose, weight, and anything else. I will stay on it for awhile but if there is no change, the why do it?
I’ve been fortunate with having no negative side effects of the diet and because of risk and side effects, I’ve always been flat against diets. The carnivore lifestyle just made a lot of sense to me, but the body sometimes needs an adjustment period. The recommended time to really give it a chance is 3 months. Why do it? Because you choose to and because there was a good reason for you choosing to. Consider how you are eating and what you are eating. Remember you need electrolytes and I take vitamin C too every day. It’s been working well so far. Good luck.
IVE HEARD, THO I WASNT EFFECTED, THAT 2 WEEK WT LOSS, THEN 1 WEEK, PLATEAU .. THIS ISNT A DIET, ITS YOUR NEW LIFE!
One month in myself. Down 25lbs and loving it. Reversing t2 and feel fantastic.
That's great news. The weight loss is a nice bonus and is effortless for now.
7 weeks carnivore doing well and enjoying it, you should do your scrambled eggs with butter instead of milk👌
I use both 😊
Hi, just found your channel. I am on day 5 and can feel the results. The only thing I'm worried about is that I have 1 black coffee a day and need cream in it. Also sparkling water I put a dash of lemon juice, do you think that's ok?
I’d be more concerned about the coffee than the cream. The answer I would have to say is “it depends”. It depends on your goals. Coffee is not animal based, but if you need coffee in order to keep you on the meat diet, then it’s not the worst. See how it goes for you and maybe try cut down on it. The lemon juice is probably no harm, but I suppose lots of small things add up to complicated. I use a lemon flavoured electrolyte tablet. Maybe this would be a better replacement for your water and real lemon squeeze. I used to do that too by the way. Good luck and keep going!
if you don't see any meaningful change, then why do it?
@@GladysMokgatleChange doesn’t always happen overnight. It can take years before you finally realise you are out of shape and in poor health. The frog in boiling water story comes to mind. Results should not be measured daily, or even weekly. Months and years is where life is at.
I had a lower back operation in 2005 and ever since then it was stiff and sometimes was very painful for a while where I had to lie down most of the time to rest it. Late 2018 I started carnivore but it made no difference to my back until November 2022 when I started making my own slow cooked stews (bone broth), I added steak, chuck or brisket meat into a slow cooker with a cup of vinegar and a small potato or onion and some soup bones, neck bones, back bones or marrow bones, cook it all for 12 to 18 hours and then I eat everything in the pot including the very soft bones (not many of these). No more back stiffness or pain since December 2022 and I can now sprint and run as well, I try to eat at least one of these stews a month.
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately my lower back pain is chronic and said to be permanent due to nerve damage resulting from a delay in surgery. However, your comment does give some home for the mid back problem I have had for most of my life now. I’ll definitely be trying one of those stews.
Just found your channel. Been on carnivore for 6 months! Started at 285lbs I'm down to 225. My sleep apnea is gone and I don't snore anymore. My heart arythmia and high blood pressure is barely noticeable (used to bother me multiple times a day) and my astigmatism is much better! Congrats on the 1 month mark! This is when your body will be getting fat adapted and you notice many changes in the coming months!
Some very positive results there. 60 pounds! Wow. If I were to lose 60 pounds, I would be back to my 18 year old weight. While I didn't start this for weight, I must admit I am enjoying losing a few pounds, because my clothes are starting to fit me better again.
How many times a day do u eat and hoe big are the meals iv being looking at trying this mysrlf and ur doing great so far to be down 7.5kg in weight keep up the great work
I eat when hungry, which is usually two or three times daily. Sometimes more often in smaller amounts. My meals are as small as 2 eggs, or as large as 2 x 200g steaks. Of course meat is more filling. My advice is to be prepared before you start. Salt, electrolytes, good meats and consider any times you might find it challenging so you can plan ahead and work around. Eating at work, or on holiday/vacation for example could pose a challenge. I stop eating if it stops being delicious…..so not often during a meal 😊
@@GaryMeatsLife perfect thank u
o@@johnparker1434 I eat 1 to 2 lbs ground beef or about 6 eggs eat 2 times a day sometimes skip whole day
