Some of my starting stats and goals:
I’m 5 foot 6 inches. I started 11/27/2023 and weight in @315.4 pounds.
My goal was to try carnivore for 90 days mainly sticking to BBBE (Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs) with some occasional cheese, cream, also some spices. As of day one, I have NO gall bladder, pre-diabetes, skin conditions and swelling forming on my right leg shin area from below my knee to my ankle. I have skin tags in a few places, bad teeth problems, shortness of breath, and I could barely wipe my own ass!
Now that I achieved 90 days with great success, I am now going to try and reach 180 days.
Chapter 2 stats
Starting Weight: 276.9 pounds
Neck measurement – 18 1.4″
Chest measurement – 51 1/2″
Waist – 57 1/2″
Hips – 46″

Hey guys welcome to day 113 of my carnivore journey and um I am going to bring you guys a little bit of video um here on this one I’m going to give you an update first and then for those of you that want if I’m going to share with
You the so I basically made like chili dogs my version bundless they’re just hot dogs and they basically meat sauce over top of them but you know I wanted to do something like a chili dog kind of sauce you know that way I could feel like I’m
Eating chili dogs so I got to say that the this this recipe it’s not bad you might like it I’m probably going to adjust it and change it in the future but I went ahead and filmed the steps of making the sauce now this sauce is not fully carnivore you can make it
Carnivore and I’m going to tell you how so there’s a step in this recipe where you add about a/4 cup of tomato juice okay so this is more keto but you can substitute that with just water if you want now you can use just water and you know you can cook up your
Meat and anyways you’ll see in the video so just imagine substituting vegetable or tomato juice with water um and then it would be like pretty much carnivore but it’s as far as this one I wanted to try the keto version U since I’m mostly eating all
Meat and you know it was it was very little but anyways so mine is made with tomato juice um but anyways guys uh how was your day I hope it’s going really well um day 113 man and we’re like 7 days away from our first 30-day
Goal today it felt really good um snack wise I had two as if I wasn’t going to have hot dogs enough I had two hot dogs earlier today for a snack uh or like a lunch I guess you’d say but then I ended up getting a like a small bag you know
Like the little you know just like the small bags you get like at a gas station or something of like uh I think it was like a 2 and A2 ounce bag I guess you’d say of um of pork skins so I just saw
Him I was like you know I could go for some pork skins right now had those and then I got home and I had four of the beef Nathan’s Hot Dogs with that chili sauce you’ll see in the video how much it was and as far as meat wise like I
Said I’ll have everything of what I ate in the description down below but it was really like four hot it was about 9 o of hot dogs and probably like a half a pound of meat I think I ate all together maybe 60% it could have been a little
Bit over half I don’t know but roughly half so that’s that’s how much I ate today I do have my coffee I want to say my coffee hold on I’m going to try something my co my coffee hasn’t been tasting real good I I laid off the
Iodine for like when I was sick uh because I wasn’t sure I heard somebody said that the iodine had made their throat a little scratchy it was like in one of the comments at some point so when I was sick I was like well I better
Not take any chances so I laid off the iodine well when I came back I I didn’t do the iodine but my coffee was has been kind of tasting odd last night I just had black coffee with the and I did add the iodine in the black coffee and it wasn’t bad
Tonight it’s okay I I’m kind of I just bought too that’s what sucks I just bought this and it’s it’s folders and I normally like folders I don’t know what it is but um I don’t know guys something’s going on with my coffee taste here lately but
I’m going to try to Slug it down a little bit I do got to work my other job um so would like the caffeine actually but other than that um everything’s been going pretty well as far as the carnivore diet um I would say that I really enjoy enjoy it
Um there are Still Moments where I feel like everybody else out there is is is doing this it’s like oh everybody else can can eat all these other foods and enjoy they and they talk about you hear them talk about how amazing these these dishes are or these desserts and
Like or hey man did you hear about this new dessert place you know they got this you know caramel triple fudge you know whatever bomb or some you know some inventive dessert and I’m just like and my my old fat self is like oh that sounds good and then I’m like can’t have
That and so it’s almost like you feel excluded from society you know and you feel like you’re on the outside because even though you guys that come to my video most of you we’re all carnivores or keto or some version of we’re all kind of in the same
Family but when you’re out there in the real world it’s it’s like it’s fewer and far between so you run into a lot more people that are eating like just normal or whatever and and it’s tough because you you hear people all the time talk about how good something is and
Then all those years of programming and training you’re just like H like am I really on the right path so it it it does have its moments and you’re still going to feel like that so don’t fall into the society pressures stay the course you’re going to keep
Feeling better I I am happy that I um I didn’t fall off the wagon today you know my family had hot dogs also but they had them with the buns they had everything else and I made I made some chili like my own version of chili which I’m going to share with you
Guys now again I’m I want to work on this recipe more don’t think that this I swear to God if any of you guys make fun of my recipe I’m going to be mad or my stove um because remember this is just a working progress it’s I just wanted to
Share with you what I did tonight because you guys been asked me to start doing a little more like video a little more different stuff so this time I videoed what I did to make a quick chili and it was kind of on the cuff it was I
Sort of had to kind of make it up as I went based off of some old recipes so I will work on it more and I will definitely share with you guys the next time I do a chill and the the version of chili I do next time but in
Any case here is my recipe for my chili dog sauce that I threw together tonight I hope you guys enjoy okay we need one lb 8020 beef and of course you’re going to do the Redmond salt just put that in there now I want you to start Browning
It up get it nice and brown and of course I use a potato masher to get it nice and small really it’s a really good tip and then of course this is really what you want to get all the big chunks you want it as small as you can cuz hot
Dog chili you don’t want big chunks this is where we add the tomato juice or water if you want you know full carnivore now keep in mind you are going to add more tomato juice later tablespoon of onion powder tablespoon of chili and of course I mean that’s it it
Seems like a lot but little bit of a little bit of pepper I use white pepper so you just kind of get it in there and then look you can see here you need more uh tomato juice so you want to add enough juice or water until it gets nice and
Moist all right now I like to add a little dash of garlic and of course when you’re done just pour it right all over your uh hot dogs and and then enjoy so I hope you guys enjoyed my little quick recipe all right guys welcome back from the recipe
I hope you guys like that remember that was just for that situation last night and I would also say that look there’s a anytime you get to like something like hot dogs there’s certain things that there is a thousand different ways you could do and there’s a thousand opinions
Out there and everybody’s like oh I gotta have it this way and I got to have it this way I gotta have my hey more power to you though I hope you you have it your way trust me that that basic right there you can like add some
Mustard to it if you like a little mustard with your chili dog if you don’t mind it’s all going to depend on what you accept in your carnivore diet or keto so you can add a little bit of mustard you can add a little more onion
You can add real onion if you wanted to do real onion you could add all kinds of other spices if you really want to I did them and as you saw I end up doing a dash of garlic um I want to say as a pref I did
Go back and add just a few more like I added a little more chili powder a little more you know but those measurements are are they’re going to get you in the right place you just have to cater it to your taste after that anyways guys it’s been a great uh
Privilege and honor to be able to Vlog to you guys thank you all again so so much for all the the positivity that you guys send my way I love you guys and we will see you tomorrow in the next video bye I didn’t it stop

Yummy!
I'm planning a similar ground beef recipe, except I'll use a barbacoa seasoning packet. It'll be fast since the seasonings are pre-mixed and hopefully will taste like Chipotle barbacoa.
Think of it this way maybe.
THEY ARE KILLING THEMSELVES WITH THEIR OWN HANDS.
Great recipe!! Thanks.
Worlds BEST coffee…Purity Coffee! Coffee is a heavily sprayed crop with insecticides! Purity is Organic with NO mold! Most coffees have mold. Ground coffee goes stale after 30 minutes!! Grind your own coffee beans and make the BEST coffee that you have ever tasted! I think your recipe could use beef broth instead of water??Your idea for chili dogs is great! I will try it for sure! GREAT IDEA to use the masher! THANKS!
Hi josh I'm a new subscriber, I've been on my carnivore journey for over a year now. Even now I still struggle with my food, then I think of when I was so big that keeps me going. I'm from N Ireland bud I love your vlogs, I have lots of little ideas that might help you. Do you put double cream in your coffee? You call it heavy cream, also cook your meat always in butter. Sorry bud I've gone on a bit, please keep doing wot your doing
I'm a chili head. Have access to good raw material here in TX. Onion and cheese are OK in my book. Lots of versions of chili here. A fav even by itself. I like Hebrew National franks or Applegate uncured beef dogs. I'm 1.5 weeks into Keto.
I had 2 Southside Market sausages with Mustard and a pack of smoked Norwegian salmon. A few poached eggs for later.
Coffee Get a Keurig and buy Pete's 2023 Holiday Blend and Tim Horton's Columbian. mMm
You need 3-4x more chili powder and a 1/2 tsp+- of high oil ground cumin. For tomato, I use Tuttorosso chopped San Marzano tomatoes. Maybe 4 to 6 oz in a batch like that.
I'll do you chili on dogs tomorrow
Chilli dogs and fries man watching you gave me hard cravings to make chili fries so I did delicious treat.
Looks awesome, but I'd need a bathroom close by.
Hi Josh Nice Job so far, Question, Do you anyone for like a mentor? If so who is it and do they charge for you to chat with them? Would love to chat more with you and how things are going. I am in the same Boat, started Jan 18th but my goal was to get control of Blood Sugars which I have done off meds. My issue not is I am seeing size change but no weight loss wanted to see if you were having the same things when you started out. Thanks
Thanks for the recipe! The only hotdogs I care for are Costco's Kirkland Polish Beef Hotdogs. I have 1.3lbs of Ground Bison Chili I will be putting on my polish dogs!
Day 49 of #BBBE with occasional milk and cheese consumed along with my steak. What I look forward to is my Coffee Black with Butter in the morning. Once a week I put a half tspn of CBD Honey. Hadn't opened it since it was given to me 4 years ago. I'm still down 20lbs and my autoimmune issues are still healing. When I get to goal weight of 175lbs down from 220lbs, I will slowly consume the canned goods in my cabinet like Nacho cheese, corn, refried beans because I refuse to simply throw them away. Not to mention, when stage 4 of the carnivore diet kicks in, when your body fat storage has been all but depleted, your body will start panicking for calories. That will be when I at least attempt a loaded baked potato with cheese, sour cream, pork 'n' beans.
Ever since a fellow Airman showed me how to properly load a baked potato in a Texas Tech School Chow Hall, a couple months after Basic Training, I can't have them any other way. While I do love Baked Potatoes, to be honest, I got fat and I rarely ate them over the past 20 years. In fact, RV living had me incorporate them back into my diet just based on how relatively easy they are to prepare, up until I went Carnivore on 2/1/24. Having said that, nothing is easier and provides more nutrition than a Salted Ribeye Steak with Butter.
I would rate my steaks a 3.5 out of 5 stars, now but that is better than the 2 out 5 stars they were previously. I use to cut the fat off which is the worst thing you can do to a steak. Now, I would rather eat a burnt fatty steak of beef than a perfectly cooked lean cut of elk. Luckily I hated the taste of skim milk and non fat cottage cheese. I always preferred red lid "whole milk".
Fat doesn't make you fat. Excess fat will pass through you, unlike the carbohydrates that "they" replace fat with in "Fat Free" products. Which is why "Fat Free" licorice today tastes like cardboard compared to the Red Vines from the 90s!
Butter and bacon fat will have you slim and trim in no time.
I don't miss hardly anything from before I went carnivore. The one thing that I do miss is a drink at the end of long day or a chilled beer on the porch on a beautiful night. I know it is psychological and I could probably print a new memory that is just as good with carnivore drink of some kind.
