Carnivore/Lion for 10 months. Down 125 lbs. Fixed depression and 20 years of back pain. Off blood pressure meds. Golfing again for real for the first time in a decade this summer. 74 and 76 my last two rounds. Thx to Dr Berry for all the great advice along the way. If you’re just starting, keep going, it’s worth it. You’re worth it.
I just want everyone to know prior to 7yrs years ago I had 50% stenosis in my arteries. Seven years later, after being on a strict carnivore diet all the artery plaque has been officially reversed 🎉🎉🎉🎉 just got my results back today!!!!!
@@lalabyelulu4021 thank you! I truly thought I was going to die, every doctor said take statins but I stayed strong and the stupid doctors were blown away! It works, this is real.
I’m a surgical and cardiac ICU nurse. Most patients I care for have illnesses caused by metabolic disease. A lot of times I’m chatting with them at their lowest moments in life. If they ever ask me for advice I ALWAYS send them to your channel. Thanks for what you do and for being such a great resource.
Ian, I was recently in hospital with pneumonia. I do not have diabetes. 3 out of 6 patients in my ward had diabetes. They had diabetes nurses. In the morning at breakfast they were given cereal and milk, tea, a glass of fresh orange juice, an apple, banana, orange and a fruit yoghurt. After breakfast all 3 were passed out, slept most of the morning. Blood sugars were high so all were given meds. One woman woke, her BM was 7. After breakfast it was 21. I bet this would not have happened if she was given bacon and eggs.
I saw this when I was in hospital with pneumonia in 2018….I was on keto then and I was shocked at the diabetic diet given to people in my ward….and nothing is changing out there, it seems. What are dietitians and nutritionists being taught now?
Carnivore/ketovore for a year now * reversed type 2 completely *rebalanced my hormones and no longer suffer perimenopause symptoms ( no hot flashes, no dry skin, no night sweats, no insomnia, no crazy bleeding) *no more acid reflux *skin tags are gone *no more chronic migraines after 20+ years of having them daily *no more eye floaters *no more fatigue * 46lbs of weight loss, with no loose skin *clear skin no more hormonal acne *no more anxiety meds *no more bone density loss *boobs are back to being full not saggy I will never ever go back to eating carbs or sugar
Dear carnivore friends. I noticed many of you need some encouragement and testimony. So here goes. My name is Eva and I have been sick since I was 13 years old. I was diagnosed with, scarlet fever, juvenile onset rheumatoid arthritis, lactose Intolerance, lupus, gluten intolerance,possible leukemia ( low white cell count), chronic fatigue, depression, ecezma, psoriasis,psoriatic arthritis, kidney stones, nephrophisis of the kidney, UTI, bladder infections, plantar fasciitis, lichen sclerosis, vulvodynia, fungal infections and food allergies. The last straw was when I was told I was diabetic and that all the previous diagnosis were wrong. I started In March of 2022 on the Wahls protocol, I drank spinach and almond milk smoothies, I ate vegan and I did lose a little weight. But… I felt terrible, my arthritis got worse, my fingers were freezing up again, my joints swelling, my daily walks were becoming quite painful, again. I was told repeatedly my many different physicians I would be wheel chair bound by the time I was 30. I was told I would likely need dialysis at some point if my kidneys didn’t just kill me one day. I was overweight, I barely ate any thing and I felt awful ALL the time! Exercise didn’t help, nothing anyone told me to do helped. Medications had such terrible side effects. Rashes we’re keeping me in misery! Sometimes I wished I would just die. But, I love my family. My husband is an amazing partner and they always support my efforts to be well. One day, I remembered that in my 20’s I stopped the spinach salads and felt better. I stopped walking with a cane, I remembered this when I woke In the middle of the night early last summer, in excruciating bone pain. Immediately I went to you tube and searched and searched for help. I found, Sally K Norton videos and she had every symptom I had! And she looked amazing! So I followed her advice. This led me to the path of the carnivore diet. Today, after only 5 months? Maybe 6, I did this gradually, I feel amazing. I feel better than I have since I was a child. I just had my 60 th birthday. I have spent my life being sick! Now? I’m thinking about training for a marathon! I’m trying to decide what do to with the rest of my life! I’m finally well! The weight loss has been an amazing bonus. The real joy comes from having enough energy to do what I want. I can’t even think of how to describe the difference. I used to lean on the kitchen sink to hold me up as I washed the dishes, which, often didn’t get done every day because I just couldn’t do it! Now my kitchen is clean always! I never leave the sink with a wet shirt anymore, I feel awake! No brain fog! I sit here now and I’m not angry anymore but absolutely amazed with myself. I went to college! I raised four children and worked! I chose everything carefully to survive but… somehow I managed and now? Now! Wow it’s a bit like when you get a flu or something and you start to feel better and think “ holy cow I was really sick”! Yeah I was REALLY sick for most of my life and now I’m better! People! I’m better! Not jus feeling a little better no! All of my symptoms are gone! No rash, no infections, blood sugar is normal, joints feel great, my bones don’t hurt, no more shooting nerve pain, no more fungal infections, my energy level is high, seriously every symptom has been resolved. I will NEVER go back. Oh… and here is a before and after picture. But… the after was taken a month or so ago and today… I’m even better and a little smaller around then that. So, if you feel discouraged, if you’re sick, I would encourage you to keep trying. If you are anything like me you will be so happy you did.
In 7 months, no arthritis pain, no more migraines, no more vertigo, no more cavities, massive weight loss, reading without glasses and tons of energy! Loving this at 54 years young.
I'll be 53 in a few weeks. It's awesome isn't it! I was just thinking about how often I used to get vertigo and now it's gone, along with so many other issues.
At 64yr old I started a KETO diet. Lost 45lbs, BMI 23 and got off 7 different meds. Thought in couldn't get any better, then I started Fasting. Another miracle itself! About a year ago I went carnivore. WOW! At 71yr old, I feel amazing. And my grocery bill went down 25%! All the while my friends and family are getting fatter, sicker and having there gall bladders removed, bowls resectioned, stents, knee and hip replacements, more drugs and death. I am getting healthier and building muscle by heavy resistance training.
@@deirdrewalsh1134 To be fair, it also requires a minimum pool of resources that many people don't have. If a single person was to eat 2 lbs of ground beef per day, they'd be spending between $10 and $15 per day. That's $300 to $450 per month. If they happen to be half of a couple, that's $600 to $900 per month. And, if one or both of these people cannot work and are receiving some sort of public assistance (welfare, food stamps, disability benefits, etc.), this budget may not be something they can afford. So, yes, for those who have the resources, it does take some measure of commitment and intelligence. But for those who don't have access to sufficient resources, it takes more money. Let's not blanket condemn people as if everyone has the resources to eat this way because many do not.
@@RichardHarlos You don't have to eat 2 lbs of ground beef daily. There's also eggs, pork, cheap processed meat when you choose carefully (no sugars), and now and then a fasting day.
@@bert_buikema My point wasn't that someone HAD to eat 2 lbs... I used that as an example because of its widespread availability and relatively low cost factor compared to its nutritional profile. If you have a verifiably cheaper meal plan that you'd confidently recommend to the financially underprivileged segment of society, I'm sure many would be interested to consider it.
@@karenreaves3650 ❤ Best of health to you, Karen. I've been on strict carnivore from trying Keto for about a year and a half. . .it's only been 7 weeks. Feel AMAZING! Best desicion I've ever made. Woohoo! 🎉
Hi dr Berry , I'm from South Africa and I actually owe my life to you. Two years ago I was chronically depressed and considering suicide on a daily basis. After going Carnivore for just 3 weeks I suddenly realised that the big black dog wasn't following me any more ! Apart from that , I lost 55lbs... I was a whopping 313lbs , my IBS is gone and I'm almost certain I had fatty liver disease as well. I am almost 69 but I feel as though I'm about 45 ! I can only THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart ! If one day I make it to Tennessee , I would love to meet you and Neisha ! Regards.
Wow! Thanks for sharing, I'm in a very uncomfortable place with decline in health the last several years, I'm only 45. It's nice to see there is hope and it's not even a magical forever away. It sounds like even a few months can make a difference. Sharing your story is sharing hope. Thank you.
@@nikkijack911 I am 47 and dealing with major inflammation, H.Pylori, Hashimoto's. Started this LION diet 4 days ago, the first 2 days I was feeling superb but the last 2 days are so painful, cramp, diarreha, feeling cold/hot,...Keto-Flu is not joke, can't wait till it is over. But the diet has already made big changes in 2 days, I can see the change in my skin too. I was fasting 72 hrs before startling this diet. May God help all of us to achieve our goals, Amen!
Since the carnivore diet 10th months ago: No medicines No pre-diabetes No hypertension 50Ibs gone Improvement in KP Can exercise without getting tired Hair has thickened No boils No infections No anxieties/depression Big improvement in gerd symptoms!!!! Huzzah!!🎉❤😂
I had gerd for 18+ years, anxiety, depression, SVT, PVC'S, irritable bowl syndrome, acne.... ALL GONE!!! OFF ALL MEDS( KLONOPIN, METOPROLOL, PEPCID, ALLERGY MEDS ) I FEEL AMAZING!! GOD'S PROPER HUMAN DIET 💯❤️
Been Low carb and OMAD for the last 45 years. Don't like most veg and sugar makes me feel sick. Never talked about this for many years as what I did would seem so freaky. But here's the thing - I am never ill. Slim, fit and healthy.
Thank you Dr. Berry. I'm 75, eating carnivore and mainly only beef for 16 months. I have a list of 26 things that have gotten better over these months. Perhaps the one thing that I am most happy and excited about is that my former chemical sensitivities have completely gone away. Since the early 1970s, I could not be around artificial fragrances/perfumes, scented candles, detergents/fabric softeners in peoples' clothes, new carpets, new paint, chemical shampoos, air fresheners and on and on. It made life extremely difficult for me. At the four-month mark I noticed that I was completely healed. For example, I am in the process of painting my house. Today I opened and used the tenth-gallon of oil based paint. No ill effects! No emotional distress, no overwhelming anger or breaking down crying and sobbing without obvious cause. It is wonderful. It makes me wonder how much road rage is caused by those damn air fresheners that so many people have in their cars. Thanks again for all you do for those of us who have ended our former suffering!
Symptoms cured by carnivore diet over two years. Skin tags: Neck, Armpits, Thighs Dry cough: 30 years Lower leg edema: Both legs Nerve pain: Right knee Blood pressure Blood glucose Eczema ear canals: Left and Right Overheating: Night Sweats Obesity: lost 90 lbs Acid reflux Peripheral Neuropathy
@@LuxeByLo I'm not sure... It was more like a realization that one day I just didn't have the Neuropathy anymore. And that's the way many of my diet based afflictions went away quietly. But less than a year.
Hi Dr. Berry. I was T2 diabetic with all the problems that go along with it. I have lowered my A1C from 11.6 to 4.6 and my fasting BG from 300+ to 70s-80s. No more insulin, Metformin or HBP meds. BP now 117/77 most days. This WOE saved my life. 72 yrs old but feel better than I did at 40. Meat heals.
Carnivore for 9 months after 7 years of being vegan and 30 years before that SAD. Every SINGLE health issue I had has gone (with one exception, due to a physical injury) … most dramatically ( other than losing 50lbs) my near-lifelong depression and anxiety is gone. Just like that. Steak is a cure-all; who knew? 😊
There's a book that is still on the market called "Food is Your Best Medicine," written back in the 1950s, I believe. I don't remember the author, but he was a medical doctor, but one who understood that real food is health, not the garbage that people were eating back then. He'd be shocked at how terrible "food" has gotten now, but he had a very good, sound, solid idea for good health clear back then.
@lyricsews Happy to share ... i honestly started the carnivore diet to call bullshit on it; I couldn't see how it would work (thank you years of brainwashing) ... so my plan was to do it, wait for nothing to happen and to feel worse then go back to what I was doing (basically eating myself to death - I figured I was miserable, so may as well be miserable with chocolate and pizza). Within a week my gums stopped bleeding, my rashes and skin conditions were reduced my 50%, my eyes cleared up, I'd lost about a 1lb a day and , better than that, as a chronic insomniac I was suddenly sleeping 7-8 hours a night and/or able to get back to sleep after waking up. My mood and affect gradually improved and within 5 months I was off all anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. I went strict BBBE for four months, now I add a few herbs to meals (treat plants like medicine) and enjoy A2 dairy from a local farm. I went from being able to barely jog for 90 seconds before having to stop (January 14, 2023) to running a half marathon (June 7th, 2023). My blood pressure and resting heart rate are that of someone half my age. I'll trade one day of being depression free and happy for a lifetime of candy. I got my wish.
I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes in February of 2022. My vitals at that time where (Weight 386.20, BMI 54.7, BP 148/98, Pulse 83) During my latest checkup in April they were (Weight 289.20, BMI 40.9, BP 121/85, Pulse 67) As of this morning, my Weight is 258.5 and I no longer have Diabetes. In a strange way, that diagnosis was the best thing that ever happened to me - with the exception of the Keto and Carnivore diets.
@@andrewsmith9980 I was Keto for most of the time. I had 2 meals, eggs and bacon, and meat (usually Chicken) with a whole can of green beans. Budget got tight so now I usually eat 1 large meal of eggs and bacon. If I get hungry later I have some Pork Rinds and water until I'm satiated again.
About a week in and my mental health has improved very significantly. I have suffered from bipolar manic depression and schizophrenia for about 15 years due to traumatic brain injury. My mental faculties are back, and I'm the person I want to be for my wife and kids, thanks to the Carnivore Diet.
There is a good possibilty you are going to get very sick as toxins start moving out of your body, Stick with it, and when you get to the other side you won't believe how wonderful you feel.
I've struggled with Anorexia for over 2 years now. Started on Carnivore just under 6 weeks ago, and I'm already seeing massive improvements. I've noticed a stark contrast between my mental stability whilst trying to recover on a Carnivore meat-based diet compared to being forced to re-feed on a carb-heavy, highly-processed Standard American Diet. I've managed to gain a good amount of weight so far, but I still have a ways to go. Overall, I feel much better both physically and mentally.
It's amazing the difference between real body building blocks versus the nutritionally void grains. You'll have much better muscle and healthy tissue recovery this way, with meat being #1. Congrats on your progress so far!
I was 422 lbs. My diet was horrible! I've been big my entire life. My mom had me in Weight Watchers as a teen...it was awful. I started carnivore a last February (2023). I'm down over 60 lbs and feel AMAZING! I absolutely love it and will continue my lifestyle change to extend my life.
Today is the day. I’m doing a water fast today and buying my supplies and starting tomorrow. I have to. I’m 62. 5’9 and 330 lbs. my feet are swollen and I can’t continue. I’m not going to give in this time. I’m actually excited. My husband is behind me 100%. He has been on keto for a year and lost 35 lbs. so I need to lose more than 100. It’s either do this or the alternative, suffer. I want to be healthy. Wish me luck, and I’ll report back in a month.
You can do it! I'm doing a 7 day fast to clean out my system and then going straight into carnivore. I started New Years and it's day 3. Not gonna lie, it's been a rough day. But I want it bad just like you do
I've been eating strictly carnivore and after only 5 days I started noticing my psoriasis begin to clear. I'm now on day 18 and my Psoriasis is about 40% clear! This is after years and years of medications, imuno suppressants, steroid creams, and vitamin creams. It has been a huge pain dealing with this pesky disease and never once have any of my doctors mentioned diet or carbs. Thank you so much Dr Berry!
I'm a dermatology PA and am now mentioning this to my psoriasis patients. I don't want to be blamed for not telling people about low carb and just putting them on meds
Another positive side effect of eating only carnivore that I just noticed this week, is that my skin tags all disappeared. They shrunk and went away, rapidly. This has never happened to me before. I started getting them in my 40s, and they were always a problem around my collar and under my arms. I had to buy wart removal kits to freeze many of them off, and still have some old marks (scars) from where I did those previously. I would have to conclude that it was either the carbohydrates or the plant toxins I was eating over the years that somehow "fed" them so that they could grow. This is a very surprising side effect, and very pleasing to me. I am really happy about this.
Thank you. I’m 71 and have more energy than in my 40’s. I did get a facelift in my 50’s but not until starting carnivore in June have I had so much energy and mental happiness 😂. I take care of my husband on a walker. I’ve tried convening my husband to do this too. I cook for him and he’s loving meat and eggs and all the foods though he won’t let go of Blue Bell Ice cream. I can’t afford to stop now. He needs me to help him and I’m so thankful I found your RUclips Carnivore! Life is wonderful although we all have our moments. My doctor did my blood work and he’s in awe! He can’t believe I’m 71. He said keep doing it. Keep doing carnivore ❤️ Please keep teaching us Dr. Berry. I’m so glad you’re a doctor and my children and friends know I’m not following a guru 😂.
Blue Bell is hard to let go of. I don't care what the northerners say - it's the best! I hope your husband comes around though. Not even Blue Bell is worth losing your health over.
I did a 90 day carnivore diet from February to May. I lost 47 pounds of body fat, gained muscle, and the diet completely changed the way I look at food and eat. Before I ate too much sweets and junk food because I was addicted to eat. I couldn't eat 3 Oreos. I wanted all of them. Now I don't crave junk food and I feel great.
Good to hear. I've never been a junk food junkie until a few years back. If I don't control my chronic pain, my goto is food for comfort. Ready to break the cycle but I gota watch the video later after my earbuds charge up. New phone doesn't have headphone jack.
Thank you dr. Ken Berry❤ Since i almost died in 2022, i learn that all pcp's that i was trusting with my health, they were actualy killing me slowly by giviing me toxic meds😢🤮. Now, after i start taking charge of my own health by eating a clean Proper Human Diet, thanks to you sir and your wife nurse Neisha Berry, i put in remission all my 5 metabolic syndromes, i put in remission, the epileptic seizures, angiodeama anaphalethic, inflamation in my brain and body, lost weight from 218 lbs, down to 150 lbs. No more heart attacks, no more kidney stones from taking all those toxic meds🤮🤮🤮. I even help my own autistic son with Proper Human Diet since i watch your podcast with dr. Chris Palmer. You sir, will allaways have my respect. Also, i do help other people by telling them how to start PHD, and to watch your youtube videos👌🤙🏻👍. I like and share this videos and all the videos you post dr. Ken Berry❤
Telling my N=1 story again and again to help get the message out there: During the extreme lockdown here in the Philippines, January 2021 I was obese type 2 with pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. I was suffering from metabolic syndrome. I understood the comorbidity I had as a 58 year old would greatly affect me if I contracted the Rona. I had to lose fat, reverse hypertension, reverse my NAFLD and reduce my HbA1c. Sitting in my armchair at the beginning of lockdown I saw that the keto/ketovore/carnivore diet claimed it could ‘cure’ my ailments. I watched a bunch of videos and tried to make sense of the linked papers supporting the claims. End result was that it simply made a lot of sense to me. 8 months later, whilst still sitting in my armchair (most of the time). I had lost the 30kg/66lbs of fat that was required to get me down to a ‘normal’ BMI, I GREATLY improved my blood pressure to the point it raised my wife’s eyebrows, she’s a First Responder. My blood sugar was well back in to the ‘normal’ range and I vastly reduced inflammation. I also reversed IBS that had controlled my life for 40 years (I lost jobs because of it), got rid of decades long debilitating heartburn, my Testosterone went up drastically and I stopped snoring … my wife is happy 🤓 I was ‘foggy’ & forgetful, possible early stage MCI, I sometimes also slurred my words and forgot what I was talking about mid sentence, this has completely reversed! Undiagnosed but recognised by my family I got out of a bad case of lockdown depression. A few months ago I further decided to cut out most vegetables from my meat heavy Keto WOE, only adding on occasion a little onion, garlic, green peppers and tomato for some flavour… always salting to taste. Improvements are continuing with a pace with better mental health, blood markers, skin condition etc. Simply eating nutrient dense meat, HEAVY in animal fat, eggs, seafood, salmon … single ingredient real food is all it took … Whilst cutting out processed food, sugar/carbohydrates and seed/‘vegetable’ oils and most dairy. We THRIVE when eating our evolved, species specific Proper Human Diet along with some intermittent fasting to mimic the way our ancestors survived. I’m 2 year in maintenance this week and I’m sure there are thousands upon thousands of people that have similar anecdotal stories to tell … Please tell them … get the message out there!
I was diagnosed by "accident" with MS a little over a year ago, even though I never felt or noticed any symptoms. Once I started the Kesimpta treatment, my symptoms started flooding in and my life just kept getting worse to the point it cost me my job and almost my marriage. I dared to get into carnivore on March 6 this year and have been going ever since. Depression, gone. Anxiety, gone. Physical disabilities, gone. 30+ pounds lighter, more energetic, more mental clarity, emotional balance, the list goes on and on. All of this by just doing carnivore and without medication! I can't endorse and recommend this lifestyle enough.
Just curious, did you get a 2nd opinion on the MS diagnosis? I was dx'd with MS over 14 yrs ago. It made me mad about what dmd's can do to our body. I just started carnivore on 1-21-24 and hoping for big changes. Glad you're doing so well.
@@jackiebradshaw6651 I didn't get a second opinion because I was able to see the test results for myself and everything lined up perfectly (amongst other things). I started carnivore 03/06/2023 and the change is so massive that there's no going back for me. Best wishes to you! YOU CAN DO IT!
@@davidbonilla904 WOW! Thanks for the reply! I am excited and have tried soooo many things over the years! I am a stubborn woman on a health quest! Sadly I sit 99% of my day and can't fix food, so I rely on my hub for that. your post resonated with me with MS costing you. It's hard on a relationship! THANKS FOR the encouragement! Do you use electrolytes and salt? TIA
68 year old male, 6 year carnivore, and everything he says is true. Never felt so good in my life. Over 50 years of severe IBS - just gone. If you have not had IBS, the constant fluctuations between constipation and diarrhea, and always having to be close to a bathroom - this is a godsend. My stools are now small, firm and easy, and I feel fully liberated - never have to worry about it again. You wouldn’t believe the amount of embarrassing situations I’ve been in with IBS.
I only switched to carnivore a few weeks ago, but I did have a couple of surprises in the first week. A rotator cuff injury which caused bursitis and had me in near-constant pain for almost three years simply disappeared within the first week of cutting out carbs, which is doing wonders for my sleep quality. Also the bald spot on the top of my head has hair growth for the first time in about twenty years. Somewhat excited to see what other benefits may occur in the future! It's already completely reset my relationship with food. Thank you for all your info :)
@@karenreaves3650Funny you said that, I was diagnosed with with calsified tendonitis in both shoulders a little over 10yrs ago, since I started eating this way I've found my shoulder pain which was constant has subsided at least 80%.I really didnt think of it till I read this comment now I'll get an xray and see what's goin on in there now
Been on carnivore for about 5 months on all animal meats . Did OMAD and got really weak & also had hair loss. I went to 2 meals a day & hair seems to have stopped falling out but is very thin. I have also developed tinnitus but i'm also a smoker & drink too much coffee with milk. I'm going to stop the coffee & smoking.
My doctor just told me I can't reverse my type2. She said"once a diabetic,always a diabetic." At first she said my pancreas was "shot" and doesn't make enough insulin. Next meeting I asked her to test my Insulin and she changed her answer to "you produce insulin,your body just can't use it."
I fired my traditional doctor 18 months ago. I now have a naturopathic doctor who understands the importance of proper food and fasting. She even lives it! Not once did she prescribe a medication that I would have to take "for the rest of my life".
Dr. Ken Berry is 1000% correct! I reversed all of my conditions switching to carnivore, prior to that I was seven years vegan... That screwed up my health big time.
Carnivore since May 1, 2023. Already off 1 blood pressure medication, working on getting off the other. Additionally, working with my doctor to see if I can discontinue the thyroid medication. BTW, I will soon turn 63 and have been on HBP meds since I was 26. Have never felt better!
Hi y’all from Arkansas. I’m 74. Switched from Keto to Carnivore five months ago. I’ll never look back. No problem with staying off carbs. Huge difference in calming brain and nervous system! Only 35 lb weight loss, so treating thyroid etc with iodine. I’ve enjoyed watching your channel grow over the years!
All my weight loss is from extended water fasting of 5-14 days. So, I’m trying to heal my hormones with high fat and iodine. Time will tell if I’m right. Stand by.
Absolutely! I did have fibromyalgia for many years. I removed high lectin foods, like wheat, corn, tomatoes etc and took a product called Deflect to remove the damage that these foods caused in my body. Going off ALL plants would greatly help. Deflect by dAdamo Personalized Nutrition might accelerate the healing. I took it for about a year. Who knows? Maybe the Carnivore diet is all you need. Good luck!
This is all true. Man this needs to get out to the masses. If only more folks would listen. I'm type 2 and carnivore is healing me quickly. Jump on board folks this the lifestyle. Best part is when you get used to it the food you eat is so delicious. I'm dining on steak, bacon, eggs, fish and poultry. Its all good. Drop the junk yall.
One of my favorite things is reading all the encouraging comments and testimonials of everyone. I get a lot of motivation and encouragement from the Commets section. 😎👍🏻
The keto diet has done great things for me because I have several autoimmune conditions and mostly have been in remission due to low carb and high fat dieting. But lately I noticed that my fasting glucose was going up to around 108 and sometimes higher. This has puzzled me, but I decided to just pretty much quit carbs. This meant the carnivore diet. Well, at first nothing. Still 108. But I have noticed that my sleep has improved. My autoimmune list of issues: narcolepsy, glaucoma, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. Every one of these is close to normal. And were it not for keto and/or carnivore, I don't know what would have become of me. My last eye pressure was 11, and I'm not even being prescribed drops. I have pleaded with people I know with autoimmune to try this, but they can't believe t was really very sick. My sleep was the most deranged part of my life. There is almost zero sympathy for sleep disorders and people have sometimes been angry with me about it. They see me now functioning perfectly normally and that upsets them too, because now what are they going to get on my case about? I found it necessary to quit dairy, and also I have stopped eating after three. Then my fasting glucose finally started going down. And I lost 35 pounds. I'm still losing weight. One other thing. I hadn't seen a friend in several years. She was visiting me and she said she knew for sure I was five years older than her, but I appeared to be at least five years younger. I have dodged bullets because of keto and carnivore. Thank you Dr. Berry.
We gotta quit the dumb things 😁🙌🏼 I’m just beginning my carnivore journey and lifestyle, Day 3 today. I’m SO looking forward to giving my inspirational testimony like so many others a year from now! Thank you Dr. Berry and the Carnivore Community for inspiring me everyday and to God for bringing me to you!! 🙌🏼
@@MoMo-im5jc Hi! It was going alright but I felt like I was eating too much fat. I had tests done in the past that revealed my body has a hard time digesting fats. A bit of tweaking to do so I’m calling TODAY as Day 1 (again). I’m trying the Lion Diet for a few weeks then I’ll add in other meat. Keeping the fat content high in the beef but not adding any extra to see how that works. I was also taking a magnesium supplement to help me sleep which was upsetting my stomach. I’m a mess, but I’ll get there! Sorry if TMI! How are YOU doing?? ☺️
@@shaynahanus4034 oh good well it sounds like you are finding your way! And yes same thing with my mom and magnesium supp! Glad you figured it out! I’m Costco bound and starting tomorrow!! 🤗 TBD
17 months lion diet, no more menopause symptoms, auto immune in remission, no more anxiety, no more inflammation pain or weight. I say Lion diet because I still have a cup of coffee in the morning with a tiny bit of heavy cream. Cannot eat pork or chicken or eggs sometimes the yolk only I get inflammation and severe anxiety immediately . I wish I had known about this years ago, I will eat red meat only for the rest of my life. I choose to feel great and be healthy ty Dr. Berry for everything you do
Been carnivore for six months... Healed myself from alcoholism, IBS, sebhorreic dermatitis, sleep apnea, depression, hot flashes, crazy-@$$ mood swings (currently perimenopausal,) and joints pain. I've also managed to lose 16kg (35 lbs,) sleep better and am SOOOOO much more relaxed and upbeat. This is "the" way of eating for me, for life.
I have seen a great improvement to my fibromyalgia on keto after about 4 months, I am ketovore now and fibromyalgia is gone! Something I was told by my GP is incurable🙂
I wish we had doctors in England like you Dr Berry !!! Our docs just don’t listen and constantly want to prescribe medications 🙄 good job I take your advise and not theirs 💪🏻🙏🏻 thankyou so much for all you teach us !!!
A few months on this carnivore diet......Recently dropped the dairy products too... No more heartburn, No more noisy stomach sounds, No more headaches, psoriosis almost gone, dropped 4 belt notches of fluid weight, No afternoon crash at work, sleep way better(dreaming again lol) Thank You Dr. Ken
Sorry for my question - have you had issues with constipation? I'm 66 and would like to try full carnivore, but I'm concerned because I rely on laxido sachets almost daily.
I've been carnivore for 2 months now ever since watching Reversed. I struggled with severe itching and eczema starting when I was 11. My hands, wrists, and elbows had rashes that always itched and were inflamed. I also had a lot of digestive issues. All throughout my teens I struggled with the same things in various forms and trouble with my periods. I've tried basically every form of diet out there and never saw much change. After finally doing Keto, my skin improved but never fully got to where I wanted it to be. I still had bloating on and off and my energy was low. I cut down my vegetable intake after reading Toxic Superfoods and realizing what oxalates were doing to me. So I was getting close to being carnivore but not there yet. And then I saw Reversed and I was blown away by how powerful the evidence was in support of carnivore. I got rid of the last of my plant foods and sugars and suddenly I felt amazing. I'm 28 now and glad I discovered this at an age where I can prevent a lot of damage. Eating high fat carnivore has made so much difference for me. My skin looks better than it ever has, my hair is thickening again, my sleep is more restful, my energy is great, I don't have digestive issues, my period low back pain is gone, and my mental clarity is so much better. I can't wait to see how I continue to improve over more time. Even though I was only overweight for about a year in my teens, I feel like my body is stronger and more toned even though I'm very slim. My parents have drastically increased their health as well from becoming carnivore and they're in their 70s. I could never go back to eating plants and I wish everyone could feel as good as I do from these changes. Thank you for sharing such informative and useful information Dr. Berry!
After almost 2 years of nighttime-only leg pain, that kept me up all night, to the point where I hated to go to bed, all my leg pain stopped. I would do a carnivore/zero-carb lifestyle simply because now I can sleep. No more stomach issues, and I am finally sleeping... pain-free. It is so worth it!
I have crohns and lost my large intestine to this disease. I had a bag for a few years and was reconnected. I trying your carnivore diet. I am so happy I came across your page, thank you❤
@penny that makes me so happy to know you too are following along. I haven't had carbs or sugars in a few days now and feel so much better. Now to figure out the types of a healthier natural sugar that won't delay or add any issues. I have high cholesterol (bad) the doctor wanted to put me on a med that I refused! I have had such bad reactions to infusions for my crohns as well as oral meds. When I read the black label page on these meds horrified me. I had been on them for maybe 10 years. I was angry that knowing the doctor knew of these dangers and said nothing!
@@dawnifert8826 I refused meds. Carnivore is exactly opposite than my doctor recommended. He said I couldn’t process red meat and would be torture on my colon. Now I know that meat doesn’t reach the large intestine. I’ve been on carnivore for 2 weeks and it’s the best I’ve felt in many years.
Meat digests in our gut stomach acid breaking it down, I am a fiber free Carnivore hoping to heal my hernia. Grateful not to have anything rotting in my intestines. ❤
Hi Dr. Barry... Thank you dear....I started Oct. 18th 2022 on KETO first then in April of this year I decided to do CARNIVORE... And still an for the rest of my lifetime...I have no inflammatory in my shoulders or hands, my body has done a turn around to a vibrate youthful jumping around 63 year old😂...I was 308.lbs at the beginning down to 193.lbs. today and need to lose 41lbs at 5'2 .. I'm still taking Prilosec almost everyday and don't take any other meds. at all...a1c is 5.3😁.... I'm so so BLESSED to be following you and Neisha. THANK YOU THANK YOU...I would like NOT to take Prilosec at all!
Carnivore (BBBE) is my go-to way of eating most days with light vegetables added a few days a month. Over 100 pounds lost, no longer have fatty liver, and no longer pre diabetic. Medical bills drastically reduced. Grocery shopping so much easier. Very little trash to the curb each week. Thank you Dr. Berry and Neisha!!!
The biggest benefit I have found with the carnivore/ketogenic diet is what it has done to my mind. By that I mean that previously we were encouraged to have a good breakfast, then later have a snack and then lunch, then another snack and in the evening supper/dinner. Following carnivore/keto guidelines I no longer have breakfast, no longer snack, hunger no longer dominates my mind. I eat when I need to which is once or twice a day.
I have many things improving on the carnivore diet. I started out taking 22 different medications for high blood pressure, fatty liver, gerd, depression, type 2 diabetes, skin conditions, obesity, and gut health. I am now taking only 5 of those medications. I have tried for years to improve my health without success. The night my blood sugar spiked so high that the meter read HI, and when I rechecked it half an hour later it read 600, was when I knew I had to change my life or give up. I have too many people to live for to give up. I am 64 years old and haven't had this much energy for years. So many of my unhealthy conditions have improved enormously. Thank you God, and Dr. Ken and Neisha Berry.
I'm on day 35 of lion diet. Beef, water and salt. Sleep was a surprising improvement. Weight loss, skin improving...although i do daydream about food tastes and smells.
Since starting strict carnivore in January, I have resolved so many issues. I've lost 16 lbs, but have lost much more! I'm 66 yrs old and have finally beaten my cravings for sugar and processed crap!! I no longer have pre-diabetes. Severe heartburn is gone, gone, gone! No more joint pain whatsoever and I have so much energy to do everyday things and then walk or bike! I sleep through the night and don't have to get up to pee! No more melatonin needed. No worries about getting sunburned or overheating outside! PHD has reversed my growing cateract (no sign of it, it's gone!). My teeth and gums are healthy! My hair is regrowing from a bad diet I tried 4 yrs ago and it looks great! I am so pleased with the toning in my body, I don't mind the scale not moving down much. (I only need to lose like 30 lbs total, so it's not a huge amount. It used to be a priority, but I'm no longer obsessed with weight loss. This health optimization woe works!! Thank you, Dr. Berry, for leading us out of the SAD and from all the profit grabbing corporations and into this logical health optimizing way of life. ❤❤❤❤
I'm a 72 year old type 1 diabetic. About six weeks ago I started the ketogenic diet. I have actually been close to carnivore diet. My Endocrinologist put me on insulin pump therapy about 20 years ago and I have been using CGM sensors for about the last 8 years. Since i have started Keto I have noticed a dramatic decrease in my blood sugar spikes. I have had no low blood sugar episode and I had to drastically reduce my blood pressure medication. In fact I think I will be able to stop taking them completely. My daily insulin use went from 87 units per day to 37!!! I thought I was doing pretty good at managing my diabetes over the years. My A!C was always in the low 7% range and my endocrinologist says I'm doing a good job. I can't wait to see him again and give him my CGM data and have my A!C checked. He's going to flip! Thank you so much for your videos. Such helpful information! I'm so glad I discovered the keto diet. Keep up the good work!
Be careful to ignore your physician’s dietary advice-I’m guessing he will warn you DESPITE all your great labs that your PHD will kill you. If he agrees with you then count yourself blessed. These doctors like Dr Berry are rare. Mine allows me to order the tests I want but still offers statins which he dutifully records as ‘patient refused’ to keep the medical community who audit his charts happy.
I am 53, I have had knee pain for the last 3-4 years, my weight rose to 228lbs even while working at a busy job. Started Carnivore June 12th. This morning I weighed 205lbs. My knees rarely cause me issues now, maybe just a quick twinge now and then. All this after only about 6 weeks 👍
I have knee pain in my left knee. I was 188lbs and am now 180lbs and falling and my knee is much better. No carnivore diet - I just eat less of my normal food. However - I know that if I try and run - it will cause me problems. I can walk well and far at a fair pace but my running days are over.
I've been eating a "ketovore" diet for just about a year now and the results have been amazing. The biggest positive change has been going from bed ridden with excruciating back pain to highly functional and active daily
Hi, thanks Dr. Berry for all your videos. -Cold hands and feets gone. -Skin issue gone. -More energy all day. -Better skin, hair, mood and memory. -Weight loss. -Stop taking painkiller. All this only after a few weeks Have a nice day.
Dr. Berry, many thanks and I consider myself implored, so as of tomorrow, it will be one year since I discovered your channel and I immediately threw out all vegetable oils, tortillas, etc. on your sound advice and started my PHD journey. Going from Keto to Carnivore and now Lion Diet, I have made so many health improvements (and counting) that I'd bore you with them all. At 73, I can recommend the PHD to all my fellow geezers. So yes you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! You're amazing, Doc. Signed, one of your hugest fans.
I’ve been doing ketovore and trending more and more towards carnivore because I find I feel better eating red meat, eggs, and seafood. I’m down 35lbs, ankle swelling gone, formerly pre diabetic and now a normal A1C of 5.2, better mental clarity, more energy, eyesight is improving, I am physically stronger, less stress, anxiety is gone, I’m able to fast daily with ease, all of my metabolic markers are good. I’m sure this list will continue to grow as I stay on my journey. Thank you so much Dr. Berry!! You’re a lifesaver!! 🎉
@@brook280 I turned 65 recently, started carnivore in July 2022. I was 370 pounds. This morning I weighed 246 pounds, and I'm on my way to 175. I've done some IF and ADF along the way. Right now I'm doing a 16x8 IF. I've NEVER felt better.
Any updates on your carnivore journey? I'm getting ready to start this diet myself after my doctor said ny cholesterol was too high. Wishing you the best of luck in your journey!
I was suffering from joint pain in my shoulders, elbows, knees and feet for a year. I got on the diet to heal those pains and they were gone in 2 weeks. I also had pain in my neck from an injury for 7 long years, very painful, it gave me headaches nearly everyday and kept me from getting any sleep. That pain was also gone in 2 weeks. I didn't get on this diet to lose weight however I went from 215 to under 170 in 3 months.
I ran a 5K for the 1st time in my life! I wasn't last lol. Carnivore since August last year down 89lbs! Off metformen high blood pressure medication and no more statins! Thanks Doc!
Just one week in and I can actually walk almost a mile where before I could maybe do a block and I couldn't breathe. Dandruff is gone, which is weird to me. Edema in legs and feet, gone. No blood sugar crashes. I'm stilll figuring out my energy needs. 😊 So glad I found this group of meat eaters ❤❤
Thank you Dr Ken. I’ve been doing a carnivore diet for over a month. Blood pressure is down from 169/101 to 139/79. I have added a vegetable here and there but basically I only eat meat. No bread, pasta,or grains and sugar.
Sorry-- anything OTHER then animal products is NOT a honest carnivore ----- so many people give themselves a false pat on back by adding alittle this/that---- why overthink it? Just do the TRUE WAY!!! PERIOD....
@donleonhart274 There is no true way for every individual. Let people make their own choices. Nothing wrong adding a little this or thar. It may even be better in the long run. No one knows for certain, so why be so dogmatic?
Carnivore since Feb 2023, off acid reflux meds in one month, IBS symptoms steadily improving, off statin for high cholesterol last month and goal is to be off my blood pressure meds within 2 more months. I'm 74 and amazed that carnivore makes such a difference for me.
Started low carb on Black Friday 2021 after visiting with doctor about abnormal and nasty lab results. Lost 30 pounds and improved labs and lowered my A1c by visit March 2022. Doctor wasn’t too fond of my idea to do this lifestyle until lab results. Her comment to me was “whatever you are doing do not change anything” Fell off the wagon on vacation. Back on the horse again. Looking forward to getting off the B/P meds now.
My husband started keto and his triglycerides went from 900 to 497, then carnivore diet... 497 to 170. His lab has never been that low. B/p lowered and pain has decreased amazingly. Not to mention a loss of 30 pounds so far. Thank you for all the great information!!❤
How long did it take for your husband to go down from 497 to 170 on carnivore diet? I have extremely high triglycerides (1000 plus) and today is day 5 for me on this diet, trying to find motivation to keep going because I'm feeling terrible at the moment and for the past few days
@@SLIM_DICKINSON he had lab work about one month after starting the carnivore diet. He was shocked at how well it worked. We ate out a great deal before this and that has essentially stopped now. Good luck and hang in there! It does get easier after the first week or two.
A little over a year ago, out of the blue, I was diagnosed with DM2. A1c was 13.9, trig 600s. I've been keto since diagnosis, and keep up with EVERY video you put out. A1c is now 5.4, trig 87. I no longer take any medication. I lost 80+ lbs and am still overweight for my bmi. Started ketovore but mainly animal based, a salad occasionally. I'll never go back to the old me! Looking forward to seeing all my numbers get back to a healthy place and stay there
Thank you Dr Berry! I have lost 40 pounds in 4 months due to your videos and wisdom. My "arthritis " in my thumbs is gone, I no longer have chronic constipation. The best yet is that for once in my life I am no longer addicted to carbs. Feel the best I have ever felt. Oh and blood pressure now normal, I sleep like a baby, and no more muscle tenderness
Great video. Full carnivore here, no fruits, veg, nuts or seeds. Got rid of gerd, IBS, high BP, joint pain/ arthritis pain, neuropathy in legs, daily dizziness and am in a much better mood. Meat!
@@sharonwiseman2175 I was told it was permanent by several VA doctors, apparently they were mistaken. Within my first 2 weeks of carnivore it was completely gone. I don't know how or why but I'll take it!
Dr Berry is my guardian angel. The carnivore diet has literally saved my life. Since taking Dr Berry's advice my health has taken a dramatic about turn. I cannot praise this compassionate human being who cares for his fellow man enough.
I’ve been carnivore for about a month because I have been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic, at the weekend we went to a family wedding and I decided to have some alcohol and about thirty minutes after finishing my first drink I was starting to feel ill, I sat with my second drink for almost an hour and after drinking it immediately went on iced water and I started to feel so much better after an hour or so, but I’m glad to say I’m back on my meat water and high fat and I’m feeling so much better lesson learned the hard way !
19 days in on carnivore, arthritis, RA and chronic inflammation all markably better. Pain is at a tolerable level that doesn't require morphine. Skin looks great, better energy and no brain fog. Plus, I poop way less volume. I still poop everyday but very little volume and no more undigested food like vegetables in it. Lastly I sleep really good and am coming off sleeping meds. Plus I have lost 13lbs in 19 days. I am excited to see how this feels and I look in 6 months!!!! Also in 6 months is my next scan for the progression on my lung tumors, been handling that with food and nutrition naturally as my medicine since 2015. This is the big test for me. Thanks Dr Berry for your influence and motivation!!!!!
I injured my right knee about 15 years ago & it's been swollen & painful most of the time since then. After 2 weeks of going carnivore, the swelling & pain are gone. I can now kneel on that knee. I can bend it without being in excruciating pain. My jeans fit better now because my knee is not swollen. I've also lost 10lbs so far and I haven't had a chance to really work out because I'm so busy with my business - thank God. But I've been using my standing desk and walking to my mail box is the extent of my workout. Thank you Dr. Berry.
Nice, I had a terrible knee injury myself, even had an operation last year. It was not stillgiving me trouble months after the op, but since beginning carnivore in January, it is back to normal again! I can even run on it now
Works. All i can say. Four-ish years with a combo of carnivoure/keto and some if thrown in. Spectacular results which are long lasting. The occasional indulgence hasn't given me trouble. Dr. Berry himself stated in an olde video that keto is forgiving. Try it folks!
I started the carnivore diet on June 5th of this year, so 7 weeks ago. I have lost 20 pounds, and my heart burn, which was a daily thing, stopped immediately. Heartburn and acid reflux on Sunday night, no heartburn or any other symptoms of indigestion since. I started it because a couple of RUclipsrs I watch said it helped them with inflammation and eczema. I'm still waiting for the eczema to go away, but I haven't felt this good in close to 40 years. (I'm 62). I wish I enjoyed eating meat more than I do, but I will continue with it as long as I am feeling well.
I began the Carnivore diet 4 weeks ago and have been absolutely amazed! My glucose is no longer pre-diabetic but instead normal 83 to 93. My acid reflux is completely gone. I suffer from RSV lung condition which I use an antihistamine each day. Within the first week the associated cough I get every day was gone so I have not had to take an antihistamine in 4 weeks. Which has been the ultimate gift to me on this diet. My skin is healing to the point that my husband remarked how great my skin looks. I wasn’t looking for all these benefits just weight loss. Yes, I have lost 18 pounds in 6 weeks. I began intermittent fasting 2 weeks before I found the carnivore diet. Game changer. I have 50 more pounds to lose before my goal but this is the closest I have come to that in years and the most delicious way too! At 65 years of age I feel better than ever!!!
When I started last Sept, my GFR, was 32. Last April my GFR WAS 62. ONE WEEK AGO my GFR WAS 64. IN FACT ALL MY READINGS WERE BETTER NOW THAN THEY HAVE BEEN IN YEARS. My LDL cholesterol is now 114. Only one thing was not within range...Thyroid T4 was low, but only 2 points from normal. The other thyroid tests were all in normal range. Oh yea, loss is at 97 lbs. Off all blood pressure meds. My heart rate is sometimes only 54 to 65, so that is a bit of a worry, but symptom free!
Dr, Berry, I have been on the carnivore diet for 5 Months and i have lost 30 lbx and quit using 7 prescription. drugs and i have received my strength back again. thanks Dr. Berry for your videos. You have been a God send on the videos. you presented. Thank you Dr. Berry for everything you have done for me. God Bless You and your wifel
Thank you Dr Berry ❤ I have been on ketovore since may. I have COPD and my lungefunction was down to 29 % . After 2 month on ketovore , it went up to 50 % I'm so happy 😀 Have been on blood pressure medication for 30 years and now my blood pressure is back to normal. So no medication for that anymore ♥️ bye the way, I lost 25 kg in 3 month
It has been a yeat since I watched your first video, my health and appearance have improved drastically, people now tell me that I look 7 years younger than I actually am, I have been sharing the good word with all the people that are willing to learn and so far i converted to one of my friends to the carnivour diet, I am still working on my family and they are showing more interest with time, I think the best evidence of the PHD is one self, as your self once said it, I am a PHD evangelist with all those that are receptive as a way of thanking you for all the help you provided, I share your videos with lots of people. Thanks a lot Doctor Berry, you ara my hero!
I have been on totally carnivore for around 9 months and before that roughly 6 months of ketovore. The first thing I got rid of was some extra weight and, in fact, I had to somewhat force myself to eat a little more than I thought I needed in order not to loose too much. Next was no more indigestion reflux so I got rid of the Prilosec after years of using that. Next I got off of both of my blood pressure meds that I have been in since in my mid to Late 30’s and I am 60 now. Brain improvement is noticeable and my sleep is much better and now after years of sleeping till 9 or later I am up between 6:30 and 7. I do work out with weights and do some cardio. I have visible abs again like I have not had since I was probably 18 but actually better than then. The carnivore diet has been a life changer for me thanks to you and Dr. Baker, and Dr. Chaffee and several others. Keep up the good work.
I’m currently using the carnivore diet to improve chronic candida. I have had a couple of breakthrough episodes during the 80 days I’ve been carnivore, due to deviating with a few berries or alcohol, but nothing like before. I have suffered since age 19 & I’m 48. I am also documenting on RUclips, upon your encouragement several months ago on one of your Monday night lives. I can’t thank you & Neisha enough for your service to humanity! You are probably one of the few doctors in life that have actually HELPED me. ❤ Oh, & I’ve also improved my insulin resistance, went from obese to just “overweight” on the BMI scale, reversed my pre-diabetes, healed my chronic gastritis, gerd, sinus issues & horrible constant post nasal drip, fixed my B12 deficiency, reversed my peripheral neuropathy, chronic joint and muscle aches, chronic fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness, acne, hot flashes, and that’s just what instantly comes to my mind…I’m sure there are other things! 😂
@@MoMo-im5jc yeah you should, especially if you have any chronic problems. You can always treat it as an elimination diet and then add back what you tolerate. ❤️
I am 29 years old 5'10 and 340lbs. I have been on carnivore diet for about 10 days. I have already seen a weighloss of 5 lbs which blows my mind. I have tried pretty much every diet out there. And I am in love with this diet. It is the first diet do not stay starved! Thank you dr Berry for all your hard work and info!
I’ve been eating carnivore for 8 months, keto/LC for 6 years prior. My TMJ pain is totally gone, no more popping in the jaw joint and have improved my range of motion, and I can chew food comfortably now, totally giving the credit to Dr Berry and his vital information on the PHD. Proper Human Diet. 🎉

Carnivore/Lion for 10 months. Down 125 lbs. Fixed depression and 20 years of back pain. Off blood pressure meds. Golfing again for real for the first time in a decade this summer. 74 and 76 my last two rounds. Thx to Dr Berry for all the great advice along the way. If you’re just starting, keep going, it’s worth it. You’re worth it.

If I can give up my OTC reflux meds, I will be a happy camper!
I’m a surgical and cardiac ICU nurse. Most patients I care for have illnesses caused by metabolic disease. A lot of times I’m chatting with them at their lowest moments in life. If they ever ask me for advice I ALWAYS send them to your channel. Thanks for what you do and for being such a great resource.
Ian, I was recently in hospital with pneumonia. I do not have diabetes. 3 out of 6 patients in my ward had diabetes. They had diabetes nurses. In the morning at breakfast they were given cereal and milk, tea, a glass of fresh orange juice, an apple, banana, orange and a fruit yoghurt. After breakfast all 3 were passed out, slept most of the morning. Blood sugars were high so all were given meds. One woman woke, her BM was 7. After breakfast it was 21. I bet this would not have happened if she was given bacon and eggs.
I saw this when I was in hospital with pneumonia in 2018….I was on keto then and I was shocked at the diabetic diet given to people in my ward….and nothing is changing out there, it seems. What are dietitians and nutritionists being taught now?
Thank you for doing that. You are helping many by doing so! God bless!

How long have been on the carnivore diet and how quickly did you lose the weight?
Your age please?
Dear carnivore friends. I noticed many of you need some encouragement and testimony. So here goes.
My name is Eva and I have been sick since I was 13 years old. I was diagnosed with, scarlet fever, juvenile onset rheumatoid arthritis, lactose Intolerance, lupus, gluten intolerance,possible leukemia ( low white cell count), chronic fatigue, depression, ecezma, psoriasis,psoriatic arthritis, kidney stones, nephrophisis of the kidney, UTI, bladder infections, plantar fasciitis, lichen sclerosis, vulvodynia, fungal infections and food allergies. The last straw was when I was told I was diabetic and that all the previous diagnosis were wrong. I started In March of 2022 on the Wahls protocol, I drank spinach and almond milk smoothies, I ate vegan and I did lose a little weight. But… I felt terrible, my arthritis got worse, my fingers were freezing up again, my joints swelling, my daily walks were becoming quite painful, again. I was told repeatedly my many different physicians I would be wheel chair bound by the time I was 30. I was told I would likely need dialysis at some point if my kidneys didn’t just kill me one day. I was overweight, I barely ate any thing and I felt awful ALL the time! Exercise didn’t help, nothing anyone told me to do helped. Medications had such terrible side effects. Rashes we’re keeping me in misery! Sometimes I wished I would just die. But, I love my family. My husband is an amazing partner and they always support my efforts to be well. One day, I remembered that in my 20’s I stopped the spinach salads and felt better. I stopped walking with a cane, I remembered this when I woke In the middle of the night early last summer, in excruciating bone pain. Immediately I went to you tube and searched and searched for help. I found, Sally K Norton videos and she had every symptom I had! And she looked amazing! So I followed her advice. This led me to the path of the carnivore diet. Today, after only 5 months? Maybe 6, I did this gradually, I feel amazing. I feel better than I have since I was a child. I just had my 60 th birthday. I have spent my life being sick! Now? I’m thinking about training for a marathon! I’m trying to decide what do to with the rest of my life! I’m finally well! The weight loss has been an amazing bonus. The real joy comes from having enough energy to do what I want. I can’t even think of how to describe the difference. I used to lean on the kitchen sink to hold me up as I washed the dishes, which, often didn’t get done every day because I just couldn’t do it! Now my kitchen is clean always! I never leave the sink with a wet shirt anymore, I feel awake! No brain fog! I sit here now and I’m not angry anymore but absolutely amazed with myself. I went to college! I raised four children and worked! I chose everything carefully to survive but… somehow I managed and now? Now! Wow it’s a bit like when you get a flu or something and you start to feel better and think “ holy cow I was really sick”! Yeah I was REALLY sick for most of my life and now I’m better! People! I’m better! Not jus feeling a little better no! All of my symptoms are gone! No rash, no infections, blood sugar is normal, joints feel great, my bones don’t hurt, no more shooting nerve pain, no more fungal infections, my energy level is high, seriously every symptom has been resolved. I will NEVER go back. Oh… and here is a before and after picture. But… the after was taken a month or so ago and today… I’m even better and a little smaller around then that. So, if you feel discouraged, if you’re sick, I would encourage you to keep trying. If you are anything like me you will be so happy you did.
Wow what an amazing encouraging testimonial. I'm so very happy for you 🙏
Amazing!❤️
Thank you!!!
Awesome! No picture!
Thank you for sharing❣️ Brought tears to my eyes. So happy for you😊
In 7 months, no arthritis pain, no more migraines, no more vertigo, no more cavities, massive weight loss, reading without glasses and tons of energy! Loving this at 54 years young.
With me I don't miss waking up in the morning with sour stomachs and just an overall tired and wore out feelings. Life is good !
How long did it take for you to become adapted? I’m on week 7 and still feel like crap
@@tf2funnyclips74 maybe low on salt intake? I had the "keto flu" when I first started, increased my salt intake and felt better soon after.
I'll be 53 in a few weeks. It's awesome isn't it! I was just thinking about how often I used to get vertigo and now it's gone, along with so many other issues.
My husband is saying his eyesight has improved- so glad to hear it’s happening to others as well.
At 64yr old I started a KETO diet. Lost 45lbs, BMI 23 and got off 7 different meds. Thought in couldn't get any better, then I started Fasting. Another miracle itself! About a year ago I went carnivore. WOW! At 71yr old, I feel amazing. And my grocery bill went down 25%! All the while my friends and family are getting fatter, sicker and having there gall bladders removed, bowls resectioned, stents, knee and hip replacements, more drugs and death. I am getting healthier and building muscle by heavy resistance training.
It’s true.
People could avoid most of their misery health wise.
It isn’t even difficult, but requires commitment, and intelligence.
@@deirdrewalsh1134 To be fair, it also requires a minimum pool of resources that many people don't have. If a single person was to eat 2 lbs of ground beef per day, they'd be spending between $10 and $15 per day. That's $300 to $450 per month. If they happen to be half of a couple, that's $600 to $900 per month. And, if one or both of these people cannot work and are receiving some sort of public assistance (welfare, food stamps, disability benefits, etc.), this budget may not be something they can afford.
So, yes, for those who have the resources, it does take some measure of commitment and intelligence. But for those who don't have access to sufficient resources, it takes more money. Let's not blanket condemn people as if everyone has the resources to eat this way because many do not.
@@RichardHarlos You don't have to eat 2 lbs of ground beef daily. There's also eggs, pork, cheap processed meat when you choose carefully (no sugars), and now and then a fasting day.
@@bert_buikema My point wasn't that someone HAD to eat 2 lbs... I used that as an example because of its widespread availability and relatively low cost factor compared to its nutritional profile.
If you have a verifiably cheaper meal plan that you'd confidently recommend to the financially underprivileged segment of society, I'm sure many would be interested to consider it.
@@RichardHarlos When all the junk food they used to buy is subtracted, a lot of people find carnivore is less expensive.
I love reading the comments and seeing everyone's success stories. It's SO encouraging! ❤
It was why I started the 90 day BBB&E all the amazing comments. ❤
@@karenreaves3650 ❤ Best of health to you, Karen. I've been on strict carnivore from trying Keto for about a year and a half. . .it's only been 7 weeks. Feel AMAZING! Best desicion I've ever made. Woohoo! 🎉
Me too
Me too! Very gratifying. I could spend hours reading ❤
Hi dr Berry , I'm from South Africa and I actually owe my life to you. Two years ago I was chronically depressed and considering suicide on a daily basis. After going Carnivore for just 3 weeks I suddenly realised that the big black dog wasn't following me any more ! Apart from that , I lost 55lbs... I was a whopping 313lbs , my IBS is gone and I'm almost certain I had fatty liver disease as well. I am almost 69 but I feel as though I'm about 45 ! I can only THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart ! If one day I make it to Tennessee , I would love to meet you and Neisha ! Regards.
Wow😢
Wow! Thanks for sharing, I'm in a very uncomfortable place with decline in health the last several years, I'm only 45. It's nice to see there is hope and it's not even a magical forever away. It sounds like even a few months can make a difference. Sharing your story is sharing hope. Thank you.
That’s brilliant - well done for finding the cure ti your issues 👍
Congratulations on the turnaround and keep it up we are all pulling for you
@@nikkijack911 I am 47 and dealing with major inflammation, H.Pylori, Hashimoto's. Started this LION diet 4 days ago, the first 2 days I was feeling superb but the last 2 days are so painful, cramp, diarreha, feeling cold/hot,...Keto-Flu is not joke, can't wait till it is over. But the diet has already made big changes in 2 days, I can see the change in my skin too. I was fasting 72 hrs before startling this diet. May God help all of us to achieve our goals, Amen!
Since the carnivore diet 10th months ago:
No medicines
No pre-diabetes
No hypertension
50Ibs gone
Improvement in KP
Can exercise without getting tired
Hair has thickened
No boils
No infections
No anxieties/depression
Big improvement in gerd symptoms!!!! Huzzah!!🎉❤😂
Proud of you
Great results. I am about to start keto or carnivore
WOW
BBBE: 44 days in at age 68. Decades-long clinical depression: gone. GERD: gone. Bloating: gone. Skin tags: gone.
Amazing! May i ask what’s BBBE?

I can't you enough for carnivore info. I changed my diet as a diabetic for 35 yrs my AIC IS NORMAL and I go for18 hrs a day no food. THANKYOU SIR!
thats amazing!!!
That’s awesome!!!!
Awesome!
Do you take any vitamins like C and D and magnesium and zinc also ?
When you say diabetic is it type 1 or type 2? Type 1 is also quite common.
I had gerd for 18+ years, anxiety, depression, SVT, PVC'S, irritable bowl syndrome, acne.... ALL GONE!!! OFF ALL MEDS( KLONOPIN, METOPROLOL, PEPCID, ALLERGY MEDS ) I FEEL AMAZING!!
GOD'S PROPER HUMAN DIET 💯❤️
Awesome!! I'm also healed of several different things and I truly believe this is GOD'S MIRACLE HEALING DIET!!
You have been set free. So happy for you.
Awesome
That’s amazing , how are you doing now , you still going strong
@@jamesrice9308 full Carnivore and loving life! 😉
Been Low carb and OMAD for the last 45 years. Don't like most veg and sugar makes me feel sick. Never talked about this for many years as what I did would seem so freaky. But here's the thing - I am never ill. Slim, fit and healthy.
That’s awesome!
Thank you Dr. Berry. I'm 75, eating carnivore and mainly only beef for 16 months. I have a list of 26 things that have gotten better over these months. Perhaps the one thing that I am most happy and excited about is that my former chemical sensitivities have completely gone away. Since the early 1970s, I could not be around artificial fragrances/perfumes, scented candles, detergents/fabric softeners in peoples' clothes, new carpets, new paint, chemical shampoos, air fresheners and on and on. It made life extremely difficult for me. At the four-month mark I noticed that I was completely healed. For example, I am in the process of painting my house. Today I opened and used the tenth-gallon of oil based paint. No ill effects! No emotional distress, no overwhelming anger or breaking down crying and sobbing without obvious cause. It is wonderful. It makes me wonder how much road rage is caused by those damn air fresheners that so many people have in their cars. Thanks again for all you do for those of us who have ended our former suffering!
I’m so happy you are enjoying your life again!!! 🥩🧈🥓🍳💪🏼😁
Wow, there may be hope for me then as I have multiple chemical sensitivies and cannot have any medical procedures or dental treatment.
I've been doing a lot of painting projects this season too and more to go before winter.
If you had any issues with arthritis or osteoporosis, did eating carnivore help?
Why no chicken, fish or eggs?
Symptoms cured by carnivore diet over two years.
Skin tags: Neck, Armpits, Thighs
Dry cough: 30 years
Lower leg edema: Both legs
Nerve pain: Right knee
Blood pressure
Blood glucose
Eczema ear canals: Left and Right
Overheating: Night Sweats
Obesity: lost 90 lbs
Acid reflux
Peripheral Neuropathy
Awesome ❤
How long did it take for the skin tags to disappear?
@@Poplicola089 months to 1 year.
How long for peripheral neuropathy
@@LuxeByLo I'm not sure... It was more like a realization that one day I just didn't have the Neuropathy anymore. And that's the way many of my diet based afflictions went away quietly. But less than a year.
Almost 2 years in on carnivore and the depression that plagued the first 25 years of my life still hasn't come back!
Hi Dr. Berry. I was T2 diabetic with all the problems that go along with it. I have lowered my A1C from 11.6 to 4.6 and my fasting BG from 300+ to 70s-80s. No more insulin, Metformin or HBP meds. BP now 117/77 most days. This WOE saved my life. 72 yrs old but feel better than I did at 40. Meat heals.
Good for you. Why feed the bottom line of drug companies. I'd like to see them go bankrupt.
Congratulations. I’m so happy for you. 👏👏👍🏼
@@muffs55mercury61that would be the best thing ever!
YEAH YOU!!!
Congratulations! This is encouraging news. Wishing you continued excellent health.
Carnivore for 9 months after 7 years of being vegan and 30 years before that SAD. Every SINGLE health issue I had has gone (with one exception, due to a physical injury) … most dramatically ( other than losing 50lbs) my near-lifelong depression and anxiety is gone. Just like that. Steak is a cure-all; who knew? 😊
There's a book that is still on the market called "Food is Your Best Medicine," written back in the 1950s, I believe. I don't remember the author, but he was a medical doctor, but one who understood that real food is health, not the garbage that people were eating back then. He'd be shocked at how terrible "food" has gotten now, but he had a very good, sound, solid idea for good health clear back then.
@lyricsews Happy to share ... i honestly started the carnivore diet to call bullshit on it; I couldn't see how it would work (thank you years of brainwashing) ... so my plan was to do it, wait for nothing to happen and to feel worse then go back to what I was doing (basically eating myself to death - I figured I was miserable, so may as well be miserable with chocolate and pizza). Within a week my gums stopped bleeding, my rashes and skin conditions were reduced my 50%, my eyes cleared up, I'd lost about a 1lb a day and , better than that, as a chronic insomniac I was suddenly sleeping 7-8 hours a night and/or able to get back to sleep after waking up. My mood and affect gradually improved and within 5 months I was off all anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. I went strict BBBE for four months, now I add a few herbs to meals (treat plants like medicine) and enjoy A2 dairy from a local farm. I went from being able to barely jog for 90 seconds before having to stop (January 14, 2023) to running a half marathon (June 7th, 2023). My blood pressure and resting heart rate are that of someone half my age. I'll trade one day of being depression free and happy for a lifetime of candy. I got my wish.
I'm so happy you're healing 🎉🙌
Carnivore diet reduces life span.
@@ashsharma3169 can you provide proof of that
I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes in February of 2022. My vitals at that time where (Weight 386.20, BMI 54.7, BP 148/98, Pulse 83) During my latest checkup in April they were (Weight 289.20, BMI 40.9, BP 121/85, Pulse 67) As of this morning, my Weight is 258.5 and I no longer have Diabetes. In a strange way, that diagnosis was the best thing that ever happened to me - with the exception of the Keto and Carnivore diets.
congratulations, that is great. Have been on carnivore for a year?
Congratulations ❤
@@andrewsmith9980 I was Keto for most of the time. I had 2 meals, eggs and bacon, and meat (usually Chicken) with a whole can of green beans. Budget got tight so now I usually eat 1 large meal of eggs and bacon. If I get hungry later I have some Pork Rinds and water until I'm satiated again.
386 to 258 weight loss is great. You were a ticking time bomb being that heavy.
@@chatzu Where do you get the pork rinds?
About a week in and my mental health has improved very significantly. I have suffered from bipolar manic depression and schizophrenia for about 15 years due to traumatic brain injury. My mental faculties are back, and I'm the person I want to be for my wife and kids, thanks to the Carnivore Diet.
❤❤❤ love your comment
Bless you and your family ❤
There is a good possibilty you are going to get very sick as toxins start moving out of your body, Stick with it, and when you get to the other side you won't believe how wonderful you feel.
This is inspiring being that I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder earlier this year. I hope the carnivore diet helps me as well. Best of luck to you.
I've struggled with Anorexia for over 2 years now. Started on Carnivore just under 6 weeks ago, and I'm already seeing massive improvements. I've noticed a stark contrast between my mental stability whilst trying to recover on a Carnivore meat-based diet compared to being forced to re-feed on a carb-heavy, highly-processed Standard American Diet. I've managed to gain a good amount of weight so far, but I still have a ways to go. Overall, I feel much better both physically and mentally.
Keep it up! Best of luck
Good luck and our prayers are with you
Good for you.🎉
It's amazing the difference between real body building blocks versus the nutritionally void grains. You'll have much better muscle and healthy tissue recovery this way, with meat being #1. Congrats on your progress so far!
My daughter 13 years old has arthritis within two weeks its gone shes happy and even her mood is amazing
I was 422 lbs. My diet was horrible! I've been big my entire life. My mom had me in Weight Watchers as a teen...it was awful. I started carnivore a last February (2023). I'm down over 60 lbs and feel AMAZING! I absolutely love it and will continue my lifestyle change to extend my life.
Well done!
Congratulations ❤️🤗
Today is the day. I’m doing a water fast today and buying my supplies and starting tomorrow. I have to. I’m 62. 5’9 and 330 lbs. my feet are swollen and I can’t continue. I’m not going to give in this time. I’m actually excited. My husband is behind me 100%. He has been on keto for a year and lost 35 lbs. so I need to lose more than 100. It’s either do this or the alternative, suffer. I want to be healthy. Wish me luck, and I’ll report back in a month.
You can do it! I'm doing a 7 day fast to clean out my system and then going straight into carnivore. I started New Years and it's day 3. Not gonna lie, it's been a rough day. But I want it bad just like you do
I've been eating strictly carnivore and after only 5 days I started noticing my psoriasis begin to clear. I'm now on day 18 and my Psoriasis is about 40% clear! This is after years and years of medications, imuno suppressants, steroid creams, and vitamin creams. It has been a huge pain dealing with this pesky disease and never once have any of my doctors mentioned diet or carbs. Thank you so much Dr Berry!
I'm a dermatology PA and am now mentioning this to my psoriasis patients. I don't want to be blamed for not telling people about low carb and just putting them on meds
I hear when you go carnivore you get very bad diarrhea. That true? About 1-2 weeks?
I have psoriasis also! I’ve been on it strictly for about 2 weeks and am hoping this ends it!! Thank you! You give me hope! ❤❤❤
I’ve had psoriasis on my elbows for at least ten years. One month in ketosis and it’s completely gone!! Just new pink skin is there now!
I’m happy for you! 😊
Another positive side effect of eating only carnivore that I just noticed this week, is that my skin tags all disappeared. They shrunk and went away, rapidly. This has never happened to me before. I started getting them in my 40s, and they were always a problem around my collar and under my arms. I had to buy wart removal kits to freeze many of them off, and still have some old marks (scars) from where I did those previously. I would have to conclude that it was either the carbohydrates or the plant toxins I was eating over the years that somehow "fed" them so that they could grow. This is a very surprising side effect, and very pleasing to me. I am really happy about this.
Skin tags are a symptom of insulin resistance
Thank you. I’m 71 and have more energy than in my 40’s. I did get a facelift in my 50’s but not until starting carnivore in June have I had so much energy and mental happiness 😂. I take care of my husband on a walker. I’ve tried convening my husband to do this too. I cook for him and he’s loving meat and eggs and all the foods though he won’t let go of Blue Bell Ice cream. I can’t afford to stop now. He needs me to help him and I’m so thankful I found your RUclips Carnivore! Life is wonderful although we all have our moments. My doctor did my blood work and he’s in awe! He can’t believe I’m 71. He said keep doing it. Keep doing carnivore ❤️ Please keep teaching us Dr. Berry. I’m so glad you’re a doctor and my children and friends know I’m not following a guru 😂.
Blue Bell is hard to let go of. I don't care what the northerners say - it's the best! I hope your husband comes around though. Not even Blue Bell is worth losing your health over.
Carnivore dieter for over a year; no arthritic pain, clear thinking, loss over 30 pounds!
I did a 90 day carnivore diet from February to May. I lost 47 pounds of body fat, gained muscle, and the diet completely changed the way I look at food and eat.
Before I ate too much sweets and junk food because I was addicted to eat. I couldn't eat 3 Oreos. I wanted all of them. Now I don't crave junk food and I feel great.
Good to hear. I've never been a junk food junkie until a few years back. If I don't control my chronic pain, my goto is food for comfort. Ready to break the cycle but I gota watch the video later after my earbuds charge up. New phone doesn't have headphone jack.

Telling my N=1 story again and again to help get the message out there:
During the extreme lockdown here in the Philippines, January 2021 I was obese type 2 with pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. I was suffering from metabolic syndrome. I understood the comorbidity I had as a 58 year old would greatly affect me if I contracted the Rona. I had to lose fat, reverse hypertension, reverse my NAFLD and reduce my HbA1c.
Sitting in my armchair at the beginning of lockdown I saw that the keto/ketovore/carnivore diet claimed it could ‘cure’ my ailments. I watched a bunch of videos and tried to make sense of the linked papers supporting the claims. End result was that it simply made a lot of sense to me.
8 months later, whilst still sitting in my armchair (most of the time). I had lost the 30kg/66lbs of fat that was required to get me down to a ‘normal’ BMI, I GREATLY improved my blood pressure to the point it raised my wife’s eyebrows, she’s a First Responder. My blood sugar was well back in to the ‘normal’ range and I vastly reduced inflammation.
I also reversed IBS that had controlled my life for 40 years (I lost jobs because of it), got rid of decades long debilitating heartburn, my Testosterone went up drastically and I stopped snoring … my wife is happy 🤓 I was ‘foggy’ & forgetful, possible early stage MCI, I sometimes also slurred my words and forgot what I was talking about mid sentence, this has completely reversed! Undiagnosed but recognised by my family I got out of a bad case of lockdown depression.
A few months ago I further decided to cut out most vegetables from my meat heavy Keto WOE, only adding on occasion a little onion, garlic, green peppers and tomato for some flavour… always salting to taste. Improvements are continuing with a pace with better mental health, blood markers, skin condition etc.
Simply eating nutrient dense meat, HEAVY in animal fat, eggs, seafood, salmon … single ingredient real food is all it took …
Whilst cutting out processed food, sugar/carbohydrates and seed/‘vegetable’ oils and most dairy.
We THRIVE when eating our evolved, species specific Proper Human Diet along with some intermittent fasting to mimic the way our ancestors survived.
I’m 2 year in maintenance this week and I’m sure there are thousands upon thousands of people that have similar anecdotal stories to tell … Please tell them … get the message out there!
Awesome!!! Best comment on here!❤❤❤
That is so great. I am happy that you got your health and life back
Go Grump Go!
Thanks for your story! It helps!
I was diagnosed by "accident" with MS a little over a year ago, even though I never felt or noticed any symptoms. Once I started the Kesimpta treatment, my symptoms started flooding in and my life just kept getting worse to the point it cost me my job and almost my marriage. I dared to get into carnivore on March 6 this year and have been going ever since. Depression, gone. Anxiety, gone. Physical disabilities, gone. 30+ pounds lighter, more energetic, more mental clarity, emotional balance, the list goes on and on. All of this by just doing carnivore and without medication! I can't endorse and recommend this lifestyle enough.
Just curious, did you get a 2nd opinion on the MS diagnosis? I was dx'd with MS over 14 yrs ago. It made me mad about what dmd's can do to our body. I just started carnivore on 1-21-24 and hoping for big changes. Glad you're doing so well.
@@jackiebradshaw6651 I didn't get a second opinion because I was able to see the test results for myself and everything lined up perfectly (amongst other things). I started carnivore 03/06/2023 and the change is so massive that there's no going back for me. Best wishes to you! YOU CAN DO IT!
@@davidbonilla904 WOW! Thanks for the reply! I am excited and have tried soooo many things over the years! I am a stubborn woman on a health quest! Sadly I sit 99% of my day and can't fix food, so I rely on my hub for that. your post resonated with me with MS costing you. It's hard on a relationship! THANKS FOR the encouragement! Do you use electrolytes and salt? TIA
68 year old male, 6 year carnivore, and everything he says is true. Never felt so good in my life. Over 50 years of severe IBS - just gone. If you have not had IBS, the constant fluctuations between constipation and diarrhea, and always having to be close to a bathroom - this is a godsend. My stools are now small, firm and easy, and I feel fully liberated - never have to worry about it again. You wouldn’t believe the amount of embarrassing situations I’ve been in with IBS.
I only switched to carnivore a few weeks ago, but I did have a couple of surprises in the first week. A rotator cuff injury which caused bursitis and had me in near-constant pain for almost three years simply disappeared within the first week of cutting out carbs, which is doing wonders for my sleep quality. Also the bald spot on the top of my head has hair growth for the first time in about twenty years. Somewhat excited to see what other benefits may occur in the future! It's already completely reset my relationship with food. Thank you for all your info :)
Wonderful
@@karenreaves3650Funny you said that, I was diagnosed with with calsified tendonitis in both shoulders a little over 10yrs ago, since I started eating this way I've found my shoulder pain which was constant has subsided at least 80%.I really didnt think of it till I read this comment now I'll get an xray and see what's goin on in there now
You guys give me hope, at 45 I been told either, this is my life now(constant pain) or I need several surgeries, which none are guaranteed of course.
Ha, I was wondering if my bald is starting to fill out in too after 6 weeks carnivore. Let’s put Rogaine out of business!
Been on carnivore for about 5 months on all animal meats . Did OMAD and got really weak & also had hair loss. I went to 2 meals a day & hair seems to have stopped falling out but is very thin. I have also developed tinnitus but i'm also a smoker & drink too much coffee with milk. I'm going to stop the coffee & smoking.
My doctor just told me I can't reverse my type2. She said"once a diabetic,always a diabetic." At first she said my pancreas was "shot" and doesn't make enough insulin. Next meeting I asked her to test my Insulin and she changed her answer to "you produce insulin,your body just can't use it."
She lied didn't she. Better find a different doctor.
I would say keep going to her and make her take the cake right in the mouth
@@stevevernon5038I agree!
You need to run as far as possible from the Dummy Doctor!!!🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀🏃♀
I fired my traditional doctor 18 months ago. I now have a naturopathic doctor who understands the importance of proper food and fasting. She even lives it! Not once did she prescribe a medication that I would have to take "for the rest of my life".
!0 months of carnivore, No Asthma attacks, lost weight, feel fitter, Mentally much calmer, No Diverticulitis which is a godsend.
Dr. Ken Berry is 1000% correct! I reversed all of my conditions switching to carnivore, prior to that I was seven years vegan... That screwed up my health big time.
I am recovering from my superfood smoothie’s. ❤
Veganism is not a healthy nutrition but an ideology.
Carnivore since May 1, 2023. Already off 1 blood pressure medication, working on getting off the other. Additionally, working with my doctor to see if I can discontinue the thyroid medication. BTW, I will soon turn 63 and have been on HBP meds since I was 26. Have never felt better!
Hi y’all from Arkansas. I’m 74. Switched from Keto to Carnivore five months ago. I’ll never look back. No problem with staying off carbs. Huge difference in calming brain and nervous system! Only 35 lb weight loss, so treating thyroid etc with iodine. I’ve enjoyed watching your channel grow over the years!
Dr. Berry would scold you for saying 'only 35lbs weight loss'. Then he would say 'HUZZAH' :D
All my weight loss is from extended water fasting of 5-14 days. So, I’m trying to heal my hormones with high fat and iodine. Time will tell if I’m right. Stand by.
You mentioned your nervous system, can you unpack that a little. My sister has fibro and I'm wondering if this lifestyle change might benefit her
Absolutely! I did have fibromyalgia for many years. I removed high lectin foods, like wheat, corn, tomatoes etc and took a product called Deflect to remove the damage that these foods caused in my body. Going off ALL plants would greatly help. Deflect by dAdamo Personalized Nutrition might accelerate the healing. I took it for about a year. Who knows? Maybe the Carnivore diet is all you need. Good luck!
@@timelessfreedom1410 thank you so much
This is all true. Man this needs to get out to the masses. If only more folks would listen. I'm type 2 and carnivore is healing me quickly. Jump on board folks this the lifestyle. Best part is when you get used to it the food you eat is so delicious. I'm dining on steak, bacon, eggs, fish and poultry. Its all good. Drop the junk yall.
One of my favorite things is reading all the encouraging comments and testimonials of everyone. I get a lot of motivation and encouragement from the Commets section. 😎👍🏻
55 days in and so far very happy with results and ease to stay on.
The keto diet has done great things for me because I have several autoimmune conditions and mostly have been in remission due to low carb and high fat dieting. But lately I noticed that my fasting glucose was going up to around 108 and sometimes higher. This has puzzled me, but I decided to just pretty much quit carbs. This meant the carnivore diet. Well, at first nothing. Still 108. But I have noticed that my sleep has improved. My autoimmune list of issues: narcolepsy, glaucoma, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. Every one of these is close to normal. And were it not for keto and/or carnivore, I don't know what would have become of me. My last eye pressure was 11, and I'm not even being prescribed drops. I have pleaded with people I know with autoimmune to try this, but they can't believe t was really very sick. My sleep was the most deranged part of my life. There is almost zero sympathy for sleep disorders and people have sometimes been angry with me about it. They see me now functioning perfectly normally and that upsets them too, because now what are they going to get on my case about? I found it necessary to quit dairy, and also I have stopped eating after three. Then my fasting glucose finally started going down. And I lost 35 pounds. I'm still losing weight. One other thing. I hadn't seen a friend in several years. She was visiting me and she said she knew for sure I was five years older than her, but I appeared to be at least five years younger. I have dodged bullets because of keto and carnivore. Thank you Dr. Berry.
You are doing wonderful ❤
@@karenreaves3650 Thanks :)
My cholesterol went from 287 to 201 and I lost 30 pounds. So easy, never hungry. Love carnivore ♥️
We gotta quit the dumb things 😁🙌🏼 I’m just beginning my carnivore journey and lifestyle, Day 3 today. I’m SO looking forward to giving my inspirational testimony like so many others a year from now! Thank you Dr. Berry and the Carnivore Community for inspiring me everyday and to God for bringing me to you!! 🙌🏼
How’s it going? 😊
@@MoMo-im5jc Hi! It was going alright but I felt like I was eating too much fat. I had tests done in the past that revealed my body has a hard time digesting fats. A bit of tweaking to do so I’m calling TODAY as Day 1 (again). I’m trying the Lion Diet for a few weeks then I’ll add in other meat. Keeping the fat content high in the beef but not adding any extra to see how that works. I was also taking a magnesium supplement to help me sleep which was upsetting my stomach. I’m a mess, but I’ll get there! Sorry if TMI! How are YOU doing?? ☺️
@@shaynahanus4034 oh good well it sounds like you are finding your way! And yes same thing with my mom and magnesium supp! Glad you figured it out! I’m Costco bound and starting tomorrow!! 🤗 TBD
@@MoMo-im5jc Exciting!! Best of Health to you!! We can do this!! 🥩❤️
Looking forward to your incredible testimonial ❤
17 months lion diet, no more menopause symptoms, auto immune in remission, no more anxiety, no more inflammation pain or weight. I say Lion diet because I still have a cup of coffee in the morning with a tiny bit of heavy cream. Cannot eat pork or chicken or eggs sometimes the yolk only I get inflammation and severe anxiety immediately . I wish I had known about this years ago, I will eat red meat only for the rest of my life. I choose to feel great and be healthy ty Dr. Berry for everything you do
Happy to read all your improvements!!! (BTW: technically, Lion Diet is ONLY ruminant meats, salt, and water. Consuming coffee w/cream = Carnivore 💚🥩☕)
@@authorgirlpetparent yes I’m aware
Been carnivore for six months... Healed myself from alcoholism, IBS, sebhorreic dermatitis, sleep apnea, depression, hot flashes, crazy-@$$ mood swings (currently perimenopausal,) and joints pain. I've also managed to lose 16kg (35 lbs,) sleep better and am SOOOOO much more relaxed and upbeat. This is "the" way of eating for me, for life.
I have seen a great improvement to my fibromyalgia on keto after about 4 months, I am ketovore now and fibromyalgia is gone! Something I was told by my GP is incurable🙂
Wow, awesome!!
I wish we had doctors in England like you Dr Berry !!! Our docs just don’t listen and constantly want to prescribe medications 🙄 good job I take your advise and not theirs 💪🏻🙏🏻 thankyou so much for all you teach us !!!
A few months on this carnivore diet......Recently dropped the dairy products too... No more heartburn, No more noisy stomach sounds, No more headaches, psoriosis almost gone, dropped 4 belt notches of fluid weight, No afternoon crash at work, sleep way better(dreaming again lol) Thank You Dr. Ken
Been strict carnivore for 11 mo. Down 65 lbs. Everything about my health has improved. Thx Dr. Berry!! I'm 72 yo and never felt better.
Sorry for my question - have you had issues with constipation? I'm 66 and would like to try full carnivore, but I'm concerned because I rely on laxido sachets almost daily.
@@linz716 I take magnesium everyday. That has helped.
@@patriciaalexander9751 Thanks for the tip.
I've been carnivore for 2 months now ever since watching Reversed. I struggled with severe itching and eczema starting when I was 11. My hands, wrists, and elbows had rashes that always itched and were inflamed. I also had a lot of digestive issues. All throughout my teens I struggled with the same things in various forms and trouble with my periods. I've tried basically every form of diet out there and never saw much change. After finally doing Keto, my skin improved but never fully got to where I wanted it to be. I still had bloating on and off and my energy was low. I cut down my vegetable intake after reading Toxic Superfoods and realizing what oxalates were doing to me. So I was getting close to being carnivore but not there yet. And then I saw Reversed and I was blown away by how powerful the evidence was in support of carnivore. I got rid of the last of my plant foods and sugars and suddenly I felt amazing. I'm 28 now and glad I discovered this at an age where I can prevent a lot of damage. Eating high fat carnivore has made so much difference for me. My skin looks better than it ever has, my hair is thickening again, my sleep is more restful, my energy is great, I don't have digestive issues, my period low back pain is gone, and my mental clarity is so much better. I can't wait to see how I continue to improve over more time. Even though I was only overweight for about a year in my teens, I feel like my body is stronger and more toned even though I'm very slim. My parents have drastically increased their health as well from becoming carnivore and they're in their 70s. I could never go back to eating plants and I wish everyone could feel as good as I do from these changes. Thank you for sharing such informative and useful information Dr. Berry!
After almost 2 years of nighttime-only leg pain, that kept me up all night, to the point where I hated to go to bed, all my leg pain stopped. I would do a carnivore/zero-carb lifestyle simply because now I can sleep. No more stomach issues, and I am finally sleeping... pain-free. It is so worth it!
I have crohns and lost my large intestine to this disease. I had a bag for a few years and was reconnected. I trying your carnivore diet. I am so happy I came across your page, thank you❤
Me too!
Wow! I am happy for you. May your progress continue.
@penny that makes me so happy to know you too are following along. I haven't had carbs or sugars in a few days now and feel so much better. Now to figure out the types of a healthier natural sugar that won't delay or add any issues. I have high cholesterol (bad) the doctor wanted to put me on a med that I refused! I have had such bad reactions to infusions for my crohns as well as oral meds. When I read the black label page on these meds horrified me. I had been on them for maybe 10 years. I was angry that knowing the doctor knew of these dangers and said nothing!
@@dawnifert8826 I refused meds. Carnivore is exactly opposite than my doctor recommended. He said I couldn’t process red meat and would be torture on my colon. Now I know that meat doesn’t reach the large intestine. I’ve been on carnivore for 2 weeks and it’s the best I’ve felt in many years.
Meat digests in our gut stomach acid breaking it down, I am a fiber free Carnivore hoping to heal my hernia. Grateful not to have anything rotting in my intestines. ❤
Hi Dr. Barry... Thank you dear....I started Oct. 18th 2022 on KETO first then in April of this year I decided to do CARNIVORE... And still an for the rest of my lifetime...I have no inflammatory in my shoulders or hands, my body has done a turn around to a vibrate youthful jumping around 63 year old😂...I was 308.lbs at the beginning down to 193.lbs. today and need to lose 41lbs at 5'2 .. I'm still taking Prilosec almost everyday and don't take any other meds. at all...a1c is 5.3😁.... I'm so so BLESSED to be following you and Neisha. THANK YOU THANK YOU...I would like NOT to take Prilosec at all!
Dr. Berry has several vids on Gerd or reflux. They might be helpful if you have not already seen them.
@@fronniebealer7808 thank you I'll watch the u tube about it 💙
Carnivore (BBBE) is my go-to way of eating most days with light vegetables added a few days a month. Over 100 pounds lost, no longer have fatty liver, and no longer pre diabetic. Medical bills drastically reduced. Grocery shopping so much easier. Very little trash to the curb each week. Thank you Dr. Berry and Neisha!!!
I noticed less trash too. And less dishes : )
I noticed less trash too. And less dishes : )
What kind of vegetables do you include?
The biggest benefit I have found with the carnivore/ketogenic diet is what it has done to my mind. By that I mean that previously we were encouraged to have a good breakfast, then later have a snack and then lunch, then another snack and in the evening supper/dinner. Following carnivore/keto guidelines I no longer have breakfast, no longer snack, hunger no longer dominates my mind. I eat when I need to which is once or twice a day.
Keto, then carnivore, completely healed my fatty liver disease with NASH and fibrosis.
I have many things improving on the carnivore diet. I started out taking 22 different medications for high blood pressure, fatty liver, gerd, depression, type 2 diabetes, skin conditions, obesity, and gut health. I am now taking only 5 of those medications. I have tried for years to improve my health without success. The night my blood sugar spiked so high that the meter read HI, and when I rechecked it half an hour later it read 600, was when I knew I had to change my life or give up. I have too many people to live for to give up. I am 64 years old and haven't had this much energy for years. So many of my unhealthy conditions have improved enormously. Thank you God, and Dr. Ken and Neisha Berry.
I'm on day 35 of lion diet. Beef, water and salt. Sleep was a surprising improvement. Weight loss, skin improving...although i do daydream about food tastes and smells.
Since starting strict carnivore in January, I have resolved so many issues. I've lost 16 lbs, but have lost much more! I'm 66 yrs old and have finally beaten my cravings for sugar and processed crap!! I no longer have pre-diabetes. Severe heartburn is gone, gone, gone! No more joint pain whatsoever and I have so much energy to do everyday things and then walk or bike! I sleep through the night and don't have to get up to pee! No more melatonin needed. No worries about getting sunburned or overheating outside! PHD has reversed my growing cateract (no sign of it, it's gone!). My teeth and gums are healthy! My hair is regrowing from a bad diet I tried 4 yrs ago and it looks great! I am so pleased with the toning in my body, I don't mind the scale not moving down much. (I only need to lose like 30 lbs total, so it's not a huge amount. It used to be a priority, but I'm no longer obsessed with weight loss. This health optimization woe works!! Thank you, Dr. Berry, for leading us out of the SAD and from all the profit grabbing corporations and into this logical health optimizing way of life. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for all your good works, 3 months carnivore dropped 2 dress sizes. God bless you and family 🙏
I'm a 72 year old type 1 diabetic. About six weeks ago I started the ketogenic diet. I have actually been close to carnivore diet. My Endocrinologist put me on insulin pump therapy about 20 years ago and I have been using CGM sensors for about the last 8 years. Since i have started Keto I have noticed a dramatic decrease in my blood sugar spikes. I have had no low blood sugar episode and I had to drastically reduce my blood pressure medication. In fact I think I will be able to stop taking them completely. My daily insulin use went from 87 units per day to 37!!!
I thought I was doing pretty good at managing my diabetes over the years. My A!C was always in the low 7% range and my endocrinologist says I'm doing a good job. I can't wait to see him again and give him my CGM data and have my A!C checked. He's going to flip!
Thank you so much for your videos. Such helpful information! I'm so glad I discovered the keto diet. Keep up the good work!
Be careful to ignore your physician’s dietary advice-I’m guessing he will warn you DESPITE all your great labs that your PHD will kill you.
If he agrees with you then count yourself blessed. These doctors like Dr Berry are rare.
Mine allows me to order the tests I want but still offers statins which he dutifully records as ‘patient refused’ to keep the medical community who audit his charts happy.
I am 53, I have had knee pain for the last 3-4 years, my weight rose to 228lbs even while working at a busy job. Started Carnivore June 12th. This morning I weighed 205lbs. My knees rarely cause me issues now, maybe just a quick twinge now and then. All this after only about 6 weeks 👍
I have knee pain in my left knee. I was 188lbs and am now 180lbs and falling and my knee is much better. No carnivore diet - I just eat less of my normal food. However - I know that if I try and run - it will cause me problems. I can walk well and far at a fair pace but my running days are over.
I've been eating a "ketovore" diet for just about a year now and the results have been amazing. The biggest positive change has been going from bed ridden with excruciating back pain to highly functional and active daily
Hi, thanks Dr. Berry for all your videos.
-Cold hands and feets gone.
-Skin issue gone.
-More energy all day.
-Better skin, hair, mood and memory.
-Weight loss.
-Stop taking painkiller.
All this only after a few weeks
Have a nice day.
My diabetes, asthma, anemia, anxiety AND hypertension have all improved
Perfect timing. Today I start a one week trial of the carnivore diet! Wish me luck.
Dr. Berry, many thanks and I consider myself implored, so as of tomorrow, it will be one year since I discovered your channel and I immediately threw out all vegetable oils, tortillas, etc. on your sound advice and started my PHD journey. Going from Keto to Carnivore and now Lion Diet, I have made so many health improvements (and counting) that I'd bore you with them all. At 73, I can recommend the PHD to all my fellow geezers. So yes you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! You're amazing, Doc. Signed, one of your hugest fans.
❤❤❤ love your comment😃
It wouldn’t bore me. I’d be very interested in the detail of any health improvements you have experienced.

I’ve been doing ketovore and trending more and more towards carnivore because I find I feel better eating red meat, eggs, and seafood. I’m down 35lbs, ankle swelling gone, formerly pre diabetic and now a normal A1C of 5.2, better mental clarity, more energy, eyesight is improving, I am physically stronger, less stress, anxiety is gone, I’m able to fast daily with ease, all of my metabolic markers are good. I’m sure this list will continue to grow as I stay on my journey. Thank you so much Dr. Berry!! You’re a lifesaver!! 🎉

Any updates on your carnivore journey? I'm getting ready to start this diet myself after my doctor said ny cholesterol was too high. Wishing you the best of luck in your journey!
I was suffering from joint pain in my shoulders, elbows, knees and feet for a year. I got on the diet to heal those pains and they were gone in 2 weeks. I also had pain in my neck from an injury for 7 long years, very painful, it gave me headaches nearly everyday and kept me from getting any sleep. That pain was also gone in 2 weeks. I didn't get on this diet to lose weight however I went from 215 to under 170 in 3 months.
I ran a 5K for the 1st time in my life! I wasn't last lol. Carnivore since August last year down 89lbs! Off metformen high blood pressure medication and no more statins! Thanks Doc!
congratulations sir
Just one week in and I can actually walk almost a mile where before I could maybe do a block and I couldn't breathe. Dandruff is gone, which is weird to me. Edema in legs and feet, gone. No blood sugar crashes. I'm stilll figuring out my energy needs. 😊 So glad I found this group of meat eaters ❤❤
Thank you Dr Ken. I’ve been doing a carnivore diet for over a month. Blood pressure is down from 169/101 to 139/79. I have added a vegetable here and there but basically I only eat meat. No bread, pasta,or grains and sugar.
clean eating all the way, i bet you even feel healthy
Sorry-- anything OTHER then animal products is NOT a honest carnivore ----- so many people give themselves a false pat on back by adding alittle this/that---- why overthink it? Just do the TRUE WAY!!! PERIOD....
@donleonhart274 There is no true way for every individual. Let people make their own choices. Nothing wrong adding a little this or thar. It may even be better in the long run. No one knows for certain, so why be so dogmatic?

Carnivore since Feb 2023, off acid reflux meds in one month, IBS symptoms steadily improving, off statin for high cholesterol last month and goal is to be off my blood pressure meds within 2 more months. I'm 74 and amazed that carnivore makes such a difference for me.
Started low carb on Black Friday 2021 after visiting with doctor about abnormal and nasty lab results. Lost 30 pounds and improved labs and lowered my A1c by visit March 2022. Doctor wasn’t too fond of my idea to do this lifestyle until lab results. Her comment to me was “whatever you are doing do not change anything” Fell off the wagon on vacation. Back on the horse again. Looking forward to getting off the B/P meds now.
My husband started keto and his triglycerides went from 900 to 497, then carnivore diet... 497 to 170. His lab has never been that low. B/p lowered and pain has decreased amazingly. Not to mention a loss of 30 pounds so far. Thank you for all the great information!!❤
How long did it take for your husband to go down from 497 to 170 on carnivore diet? I have extremely high triglycerides (1000 plus) and today is day 5 for me on this diet, trying to find motivation to keep going because I'm feeling terrible at the moment and for the past few days
@@SLIM_DICKINSON a couple of months.
@@SLIM_DICKINSON carnivore is a great diet but its not going to heal overnight you got to be consistent and make it a lifestyle
@@SLIM_DICKINSON he had lab work about one month after starting the carnivore diet. He was shocked at how well it worked. We ate out a great deal before this and that has essentially stopped now. Good luck and hang in there! It does get easier after the first week or two.
A little over a year ago, out of the blue, I was diagnosed with DM2. A1c was 13.9, trig 600s. I've been keto since diagnosis, and keep up with EVERY video you put out. A1c is now 5.4, trig 87. I no longer take any medication. I lost 80+ lbs and am still overweight for my bmi. Started ketovore but mainly animal based, a salad occasionally. I'll never go back to the old me! Looking forward to seeing all my numbers get back to a healthy place and stay there
Thank you Dr Berry! I have lost 40 pounds in 4 months due to your videos and wisdom. My "arthritis " in my thumbs is gone, I no longer have chronic constipation. The best yet is that for once in my life I am no longer addicted to carbs. Feel the best I have ever felt. Oh and blood pressure now normal, I sleep like a baby, and no more muscle tenderness
Great video. Full carnivore here, no fruits, veg, nuts or seeds. Got rid of gerd, IBS, high BP, joint pain/ arthritis pain, neuropathy in legs, daily dizziness and am in a much better mood. Meat!
The neuropathy in your legs went away?!! Can you say more about that? I thought that damage was permanent.
@@sharonwiseman2175 I was told it was permanent by several VA doctors, apparently they were mistaken. Within my first 2 weeks of carnivore it was completely gone. I don't know how or why but I'll take it!
Dr Berry is my guardian angel. The carnivore diet has literally saved my life. Since taking Dr Berry's advice my health has taken a dramatic about turn. I cannot praise this compassionate human being who cares for his fellow man enough.
I’ve been carnivore for about a month because I have been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic, at the weekend we went to a family wedding and I decided to have some alcohol and about thirty minutes after finishing my first drink I was starting to feel ill, I sat with my second drink for almost an hour and after drinking it immediately went on iced water and I started to feel so much better after an hour or so, but I’m glad to say I’m back on my meat water and high fat and I’m feeling so much better lesson learned the hard way !
19 days in on carnivore, arthritis, RA and chronic inflammation all markably better. Pain is at a tolerable level that doesn't require morphine. Skin looks great, better energy and no brain fog. Plus, I poop way less volume. I still poop everyday but very little volume and no more undigested food like vegetables in it. Lastly I sleep really good and am coming off sleeping meds. Plus I have lost 13lbs in 19 days. I am excited to see how this feels and I look in 6 months!!!! Also in 6 months is my next scan for the progression on my lung tumors, been handling that with food and nutrition naturally as my medicine since 2015. This is the big test for me.
Thanks Dr Berry for your influence and motivation!!!!!
Hopeful and curious - how did your scan go?
I went mostly carnivore for the last 3 months. My A1c went from 6.9 to 5.6. i feel better than i have ever felt.
I injured my right knee about 15 years ago & it's been swollen & painful most of the time since then. After 2 weeks of going carnivore, the swelling & pain are gone. I can now kneel on that knee. I can bend it without being in excruciating pain. My jeans fit better now because my knee is not swollen.
I've also lost 10lbs so far and I haven't had a chance to really work out because I'm so busy with my business - thank God. But I've been using my standing desk and walking to my mail box is the extent of my workout. Thank you Dr. Berry.
Nice, I had a terrible knee injury myself, even had an operation last year. It was not stillgiving me trouble months after the op, but since beginning carnivore in January, it is back to normal again!
I can even run on it now
Works. All i can say.
Four-ish years with a combo of carnivoure/keto and some if thrown in. Spectacular results which are long lasting. The occasional indulgence hasn't given me trouble. Dr. Berry himself stated in an olde video that keto is forgiving.
Try it folks!
On the C diet for a few weeks. Diagnosed gerd some time back. Gerd is gone. Quit too prescription meds. No problems!
Thank You 🙏 Dr. Berry been here 3 years, Carbs are no longer controlling my medical issues, getting better every day.
I started the carnivore diet on June 5th of this year, so 7 weeks ago. I have lost 20 pounds, and my heart burn, which was a daily thing, stopped immediately. Heartburn and acid reflux on Sunday night, no heartburn or any other symptoms of indigestion since. I started it because a couple of RUclipsrs I watch said it helped them with inflammation and eczema. I'm still waiting for the eczema to go away, but I haven't felt this good in close to 40 years. (I'm 62).
I wish I enjoyed eating meat more than I do, but I will continue with it as long as I am feeling well.
I began the Carnivore diet 4 weeks ago and have been absolutely amazed! My glucose is no longer pre-diabetic but instead normal 83 to 93. My acid reflux is completely gone. I suffer from RSV lung condition which I use an antihistamine each day. Within the first week the associated cough I get every day was gone so I have not had to take an antihistamine in 4 weeks. Which has been the ultimate gift to me on this diet. My skin is healing to the point that my husband remarked how great my skin looks. I wasn’t looking for all these benefits just weight loss. Yes, I have lost 18 pounds in 6 weeks. I began intermittent fasting 2 weeks before I found the carnivore diet. Game changer. I have 50 more pounds to lose before my goal but this is the closest I have come to that in years and the most delicious way too! At 65 years of age I feel better than ever!!!
When I started last Sept, my GFR, was 32. Last April my GFR WAS 62. ONE WEEK AGO my GFR WAS 64. IN FACT ALL MY READINGS WERE BETTER NOW THAN THEY HAVE BEEN IN YEARS. My LDL cholesterol is now 114. Only one thing was not within range...Thyroid T4 was low, but only 2 points from normal. The other thyroid tests were all in normal range. Oh yea, loss is at 97 lbs. Off all blood pressure meds. My heart rate is sometimes only 54 to 65, so that is a bit of a worry, but symptom free!
You may need to eat fish that contains iodine. This may help your thyroid. 🙂

I have been on totally carnivore for around 9 months and before that roughly 6 months of ketovore. The first thing I got rid of was some extra weight and, in fact, I had to somewhat force myself to eat a little more than I thought I needed in order not to loose too much. Next was no more indigestion reflux so I got rid of the Prilosec after years of using that. Next I got off of both of my blood pressure meds that I have been in since in my mid to
Late 30’s and I am 60 now. Brain improvement is noticeable and my sleep is much better and now after years of sleeping till 9 or later I am up between 6:30 and 7. I do work out with weights and do some cardio. I have visible abs again like I have not had since I was probably 18 but actually better than then. The carnivore diet has been a life changer for me thanks to you and Dr. Baker, and Dr. Chaffee and several others. Keep up the good work.
I’m currently using the carnivore diet to improve chronic candida. I have had a couple of breakthrough episodes during the 80 days I’ve been carnivore, due to deviating with a few berries or alcohol, but nothing like before. I have suffered since age 19 & I’m 48.
