That reminds me of a movie I saw awhile back called "The Happening" Where the plants were releasing pheromones casing people to kill themselves. It was a scene where they were talking about how this plant releases hormones to attract wasps to come and kill the caterpillars that are eating it.
I feel so good on this life style. I feel cheated, all my life I was under the influence of plants and carbohydrates. I am totally different person. Now i know what does it mean to be alive. Also now I am challenge driven rather than pleasure driven on standard garbage diet. I am alive!
I have to say, as someone in their first week on carnivore, my mental state is clearing up to the point where I was emotional about feeling good in so many years and that’s only one single week.
I had a similar experience as your depression after eating herbs. I am a psychotherapist - 30 years. I know my emotions and moods very well. Keto for 2 years, Carnivore for 5 months. Last night ate a steak covered in Cajun seasoning. Went to bed and I was flooded with anxiety. Really dark thoughts. I have processes to clear anxiety and they didn't work. Unusual. I prayed myself I self to sleep. Woke up fine. I reviewed my food that day and didn't pinpoint the seasoning. I first thought it was because I watched a suspenseful rather violent Netflix. It didn't add up until I heard you talk about the herbs on your lamb roast. It is profound how cleared up my mental/emotional got eating carnivore and now when something like this hits me it confirms I am on the right track. As a therapist it is now hard to treat clients with anxiety/depression and not suggest carnivore - most don't believe me, most prefers carbs. I understand tho, i wouldn't have believed the profound healing, physical and mental on carnivore if I hadn't experienced it myself.
@@Eserr7856 I was on Keto for about 2 years. I did not notice an improvement in moods. Now on the Carnivore for 11 months and my moods (anxiety and depression) have completely resolved. I have done, and continue to do things daily to manage my emotional and mental health. I am clear the carnivore diet really made a difference!
Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. I believe being 100% carnivore/plant-free is definitely helping me manage my anxieties, agoraphobia, and avoidant personality disorder. I have overcome my anorexia nervosa of 33 years which I can only thank this way of eating for.
I decided to try carnivore to see if I could get rid of neuropathy in my legs. It's a little better after two months but not gone. But surprise surprise; my Aspergers syndrome has been put on pause after 41 years. I never expected this. I'm happy and laughing inside much of the time.
Yup. Suffered depression/anxiety most of my life. I'm 58 now. I started strict carnivore mid March and within 2-3 weeks it was like day and night. Depression gone. Thank you carnivore.
@@oneman4412 No. it was weird. I was just plodding along as my old miserable aced self then one day I just realised al the dread and gloom had lifted and suddenly I had motivation, enthusiasm and more and more reasons to smile.Stick with it. it just gets better.
I so wish I had found this information before coming across all the vegan influencers, I added meat back a few years ago and now am I ketovore. I crave meat nonstop since adding it back. I appreciate you saying at times we may need medication for different things even if carnivore but may need less which is great...I was in an auto accident and while healing has been challenging I know this way of eating will give me my best chance. I was vegan for 3.5 years after listening to Medical Medium Anthony Williams who promotes a high carb, zero fat, plant based diet and only how that with time I can recover... people are feeding their kids a fruit only diet listening to him, it's so sad. Grateful for this sound and informative message!
Thanks for the video. I started eating carnivore the day after Thanksgiving. I primarily wanted to see if there was anything to the mental health benefits as well. First of there absolutely is. I have done a total 180. Not without a couple of mistakes along the way. At about the 2 month mark I drank a cup of black coffee. It was everything I dreamed of...Man it was euphoric! BUT, the next day I woke up agitated, angry and everything pissed me off for absolutely no reason. My family surprised me with a trip to Vegas for my 50th bday and I damn near ruined it. The second incident happened close to how yours did. We had new friends invite us to dinner and there was tri tip on the grill. They were warned of my weird diet where I ate meat and salt. Evidently to them, it meant they could still be able to use a spice rub. I knew immediately, but rather than make a stink, I decided to go with it and see if I would react. Wow, again, I was irritable, and my joints ached for 2 days. Not as severe as the coffee but a noticeable difference. Sorry for the novel, but I thought I would chime in to say it does make a difference! The black cloud of dispair and hopelessness and the anger and irritable moods are gone. I wish I had come across this way of eating decades ago. I'm never going back. Oh, and the 35 lb weight loss is a great side effect!
What an interesting interview. My cholesterol was so high the last time I had it checked like 3 years ago that my doctor refused to treat me if I stayed on my " all meat" diet. Haha. But let me tell you I am so happy. I never thought that it was from my way of eating. I was thinking it was my stage of life.. almost 70. It is the carnivore I bet. I'm so content and feel so lucky.. thank you for these insights. 🥩🥩🥩❤❤❤
You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear you are doing so well! And don't worry about your cholesterol on Carnivore, we got that one very wrong as doctors. I don't know if you've seen my other videos, but I go through the literature in several of them
Isn’t it amazing how eating proper nutrition for our body can affect us in amazing ways. Can you imagine if more doctors would start encouraging their patients to eat this way we would have a world of happier healthier people instead sick and sad.
Thank you 🙏🏽 This experience mirrors my own and is my strongest motivation for hanging onto carnivore, literally for dear life, as I never want to feel that depressed/suicidal ever again. Such a revelation when you test your personal reaction when you add carbs again a few times, and hit the pits in a big way. I now know my insulin response to any food. “The Fear” described for alcohol is exactly what I have after insulin raising foods. So I know beyond doubt what works best for me and nobody can tell me different. It’s completely different from eating meat and fat. Thanks again Dr Chaffee for sharing this with us.
Treating myself for inflammation and chronic pain, my anxiety and depression disappeared. Almost all the testimonials. I have heard saying the same thing with an increase in clarity, focus and memory recall. This is totally opposite to a plant-based diet who commonly have terrible health and brain fog before they get dementia.
I've been eating "mostly" carnivore for months and have improved. I had my labs done January 31. For example,, my HbA1c was 4.9 and my glucose was 85. My inflammation numbers were better than before but still need to improve. Btw, I have RA. I spent 6 years in a wheelchair and have had 4 joint replacements. On February 7th I decided it was time to go full Lion Carnivore and eliminate the seasonings. I stopped my meds as well. I had significant improvement in reduced hip pain and walking. I have swelling in my wrists but no pain. And then, Yesterday I ate Italian Chicken Sausage. The flavor said Basil & Tomato. After eating it I had so much pain in my right hip I could hardly walk and had a terrible time sleeping last night. My hands became achy. NO MORE SAUSAGE for me. Today it's strictly steak and I'm improving again. I guess we all need to test to find out what affects us personally. It's totally TRUE! Those seasonings do something to us! It isn't just the foods. Believe me, it's much sadder to be sick, in pain 24/7, have no energy, and have my joints replaced than it is to eat a strict Carnivore diet.
That was interesting. My first experience with vegans was when my niece became a vegan in her early teens. She ended up suffering depression which she still suffers from and she is in her early 30s. No longer a vegan but still has a mainly plant base diet I believe. Many of her vegan friends were loopy and some quite aggressive.
Today is day 2 carnivore, and day 1 in ketosis. Only took 36 hours to hit ketosis. I feel mentally clearer, music sounds better. I feel nice considering this is just day 2. So far I’m a fan, but this is just the beginning. Your videos have been a massive influence. Thank you!
Just started going to a therapist for anxiety and panic attacks and of course no mention of diet which is so sad. I was mainly keto before, going to try a carnivore elimination to see how that affects the attacks!
I’m on day four of meat, eggs,salt,and water. That’s it. Water has miraculously begun to taste sweet today and I feel very calm and even tempered. It’s tough, but feeling so good makes it worth the effort. Good luck
@sharon but they should be allowed to prescribe diet. That's the problem is healthcare doesn't want to drop the bomb on there friends who work for food companies and how they inflict mental disorders
Been carnivore only since mid-February and my mental health is vastly improved. Not only have I found that seasonings/herbs negatively affect my mental health, they very much affect my digestion. I get the 'bubble guts' after eating basically any seasonings.
A dear friend of mine went carnivore after seeing my success on it. She was just hoping to lose a few pounds but, to her amazement, the lifelong struggles she had had with clinical depression and anxiety attacks simply went away. This can't be a placebo effect because she never expected this. Dr. Saladino calls this "emotional resilience" and I think that says it well. Things happen in anybody's life but do you spiral into a black pit of despair or do you run around with your "hair on fire" or do you cope?
Thank you very much again i changed thanks to you to carnivore i feel alot better thank you life safer! What do you also think of wimhof method the cold therapy shower/ ice bath/ breathing technique thanks!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Wimhof really intrigues me, and he obviously is into something as he's able to do things that no one thought possible before. I'll admit that I haven't looked too deeply into his work though, but it's something I plan on doing. Do you practice his techniques yourself? How's have you found them?
@@anthonychaffeemd thank you sir yes i do on empty stomach in the morning breathing technique and i take cold showers for like 10 minutes your performance will go to the roof ans you will be stronger and inflammation in body comes down.
garlic, something I grew up on and liked...really affected my digestion so yes all seasoning affects the body....So now I stick with salt and some onion at times and feel much better
3:26 Dr Chafee. I don’t doubt carnivore or keto can help dramatically to improve or maybe eliminate mental health issues.. but in your case I think you were experiencing a big dose if guilt, from breaking your diet that night. :). I’m wondering if ypu may have considered that. Ive been keto for years and carnivore for about a year. Finally off of anxieties meds. Occasionally I will have a bad day where I eat something “green” or a tiny piece of cake at a birthday party, and I feel terrible later too.. I kind of think it’s just guilt and frustration over having to cheat a little in order to be “nice” to a guest. I love your videos! Thanks very much to helping me keep up my carnivore diet.
I don't think it was guilt on my part, as I wasn't doing a "diet" and didn't feel guilty about having some herbs; I was actually interested in seeing what would happen. Also, I tried it the next day and felt the same, and then months and years later when greens would slip into my food I would get extremely down at the smallest of things. It still happens. I don't know what it is that's doing it, but there's some chemical in greens that really mess up my brain.
@@anthonychaffeemd the brain and body are complex dr chaffe 20 minutes ago I ate some meat with pasta and normally meat I'm ok but now i got this physical and mental anxiety and doom and gloom mood just 10 minutes after eating carbs. for the past few years now I have no idea why but carbs, pasta, sugar alot of things bring on these symptoms... I've done the usual blood tests and ekg and tests a bunch of times they all come back ok. One thing is for sure is diet is very important for my mental well being now.... in my 20s I could eat whatever but now I have no idea why but I have to work with my body now
I’m so fascinated and intrigued by this. I’ve had clinical depression and anxiety my whole life but it comes from a source of trauma. Then I self medicated FOR YEARS with booze, drugs and sugar. I’ve tried being vegan, vegetarian, doing juice fasts to “cleanse” my body of all the “putrefied meat”! In my digestive track plus my love of animals. BUT, I cannot deny when I eat a steak or ground beef I feel grounded instantly and FED! Soothed! Not in a toxic unhealthy way, either. My body telling me YES. So I’m going to try this. I’m on medication for PTSD and anxiety disorder and I absolutely believe medicine to have it’s place on a journey whether it’s permanent or temporary. Mine has saved my life and given me a life back. But I do want to try this way of eating. It may not be super “clean” as that takes money. But I’ll do my best. Plus if I’m only eating meat, all that other stuff I’m always purchasing should go down if not eliminated. It gives me hope that I can feel clarity, stability, peace and energy without medicine one day. I’m trying to decide if I work the healthful food in and slowly give up my sugars, or go cold Turkey. As an addict I know really there’s usually no tapering. Once it’s in the system it just keeps you chained. How exciting! Thanks for all your info and thanks to my HP that led me here. I heard you talking about buying a whole cow? How much does that cost? Perhaps people would go in on that with me. 😆 I love things like my dates and figs but to eliminate it all and add back. Then you know where something is coming from. Also! Inflammation! From decades of wrong things put in my body. I’d imagine the brain could get inflamed? In a way? I have pain in my hands and…well, almost every where and I can’t take things for this so I hope this helps with that as well.
@@Starburst75 Yes, brain inflammation is a factor. I don't have mental health issues but I had a seizure disorder for 35 years which is now gone since going carnivore. I really believe that brain inflammation had a lot to do with it.
I have experienced almost the same things, Keep on changing, don't give up, Have one thing as a rule of thumb, every time you mix carbs with meat in some way, whether along with the meal or not, you are likely to feel your foreign body., It gradually eliminates, and when it is cleaner of carbohydrates, When you feel abstinence, be ready to understand that it is the sugar addiction, and so prepare a meat meal, and little by little you will feel better and improve every day, But this requires discipline, and understanding that your body is changing and detoxifying, I have helped in something, Gratitude
I tried statins twice in my late 30s and 40s. Both times within several weeks I began to feel depressed and would start bawling out of the blue. At work I'd slip into the stairwell to hide it. Apparently not a common side effect, but that is what happened to me.
Dr. Chaffee I am a huge fan of yours. Can you tell us, are you as much of a purist when it comes to your skin? What do you feel about sunscreen and modern day skin care? We are all here to look and feel our best and I am very interested in your opinions and advice.
Hi, thank you very much! And yes, I just use animal oils such as beef tallow or emu oil on my skin, and it has never been better. I've done an Instagram post on sunscreen that I will link here, but short answer is that we use way too strong SPF, and you don't need it at all when Carnivore. As you would expect, seeing as we didn't evolve with it. instagram.com/p/CYFbgelBddd/?
Hi Anthony! You mentioned the affect of herbs on a lamb roast. I saw you posted a pic of biltong recently. Roasted ground coriander is the usual for biltong and some use nutmeg too, as well as wine vinegar. Did you just hang the meat after salting it??? I do love the flavor of coriander, but I have to wonder the affect. Thank you for all your fantastic segments related to carnivore.
I had the same exact feelings when I was bulking (for the purpose of weight gain in a weightlifting context) using oatmeal/PB/bananas etc. I cut all of it out, switched to mostly carnivore, but I still drink apple/orange juice as snacks, keeping my calories the same, and within 2 days I no longer had suicidal ideation. All of the depression and anxiety I experienced dozens of times throughout the day at intensities of 8/10 were now 2/10; and they only happened a handful of times with a transience that made it so much easier to let go of those emotions when they popped up. All of the emotions and reactions to stress or thoughts were still there, but the frequency/duration/intensity were are dramatically reduced. Oh, and no longer feeling tired and unable to do tasks.
Eating 12 eggs a day using a whole stick of butter was the only way to get the calories without blowing money on steaks. ground beef fat is just so unsatisfying and distasteful.@@saam12malik
The spices for sure like garlic really affect me negatively....but....after going carnivore and then experimenting with adding a clean pretzel back... I felt more relaxed when the sugar hit my system which told me the sugar is like a drug
I dont know if this will reach anyone that has debated this, but my friend is a strict vegan and weed smoker, tobacco ( it is legal where she lives) and I am on Carnivore. We had a healthy debate /discussion ( she understands that carnivore has turned my mental health around and she clearly sees it) about if smoking weed/tobacco is giving the same reaction to those effected by plants in general.....I thought it was an interesting topic that some who smoke become calm and others can panic or get sick. We were left at a stale mate, but I have some very depressed friends who are smokers ( not all) and I was thinking they were possibly allergic? She doesnt believe smoking would yield the same effect due to its not in your gut system.....anyway if someone has an idea I thought it was an interesting topic!
Wow. Its def possible. I used to enjoy smoking but now when i smoke weed my heartbeat goes way up and stays there for like 2 hours. The first 10 min it could be like 110. It gives me a lot of anxiety. I’ve also become allergic to a bunch of stuff the past 3 years. I’ve always wondered what’s going on but an allergic reaction could be it! You def can be allergic to particles in the air (like dust and pollen for example) . Thanks for bringing this up
How safe is the carnivore diet for kidney function? I’m curious about the carnivore diet but this is my main concern. I’m having a lot of health issues. I also suffer from severe depression and eat a huge amount of fruits, salads and vegetables… so this is literally food for thought 🤔
The best videos I have found on this topic (which I've researched a lot given that I was born with only one kidney) are those from Dr. Ken Berry. Give his YT channel a try.
Any Body here been on strict keto for mental health issues but didn't feel benefits - until they switched to carnivore? I gave keto and omad a year trial. Omad showed some improvements, but with keto i felt the same or worse. Wondering how carnivore can make all the difference after keto being a complete wash.
Here's what I can say. My cousin has been doing keto for about 10 years and still has add. I've been a carnivore for about 7 weeks. In the third week, I woke up a new man. No adhd.
@@howdy2496 its a pretty extreme diet, carnivore. But what could hurt if i committed for a month, right? Carnivore sounds SO promising. 'NEW man' is no small feat!
@@nancneumann4196 Adhd, procrastination, brain fog to the point I thought I was in the early stages of dementia, anxiety, insomnia, and suicidal ideation completely gone. I started this to get my A1C down. I didn't expect all of this. The grass is green, and the sky is blue again. I'm waking up each day looking for a challenge to overcome. It becomes easy when you get this type of result. I can't say it works for everyone, but it is worth a one-month challenge to find out.
I have started carnivore 18days ago. The reason was to improve my mental health. I take alventa 150mg each morning, and 75mg with my lunch. I stopped taking 75mg doze. And waiting for at least 9 months, to completely cut the antidepresants. I respond well to fatty breakfast. I am hoping to improve my living 🌟 anyone else dropped antidepresants?
I've been on the carnivore diet now for 3 weeks. I didn't think this would happen, but since week two on carnivore, my anxiety and depression have worsened. I always dealt with anxiety and depression even as a kid. The positives so far have been increased energy levels and better sleep. Has anyone else experienced this? If so did it get better? What did you do?
I’ve heard that many people who are strict carnivore for awhile build up a sensitivity to foods they never had an issue with before. Is this true as some people can’t seem eat anything but meat or they have a reaction. Peterson is the perfect example. He said anything else tears him up. I can’t imagine only eating meat for the rest of my life- how boring. I have to have my eggs! 😂
You can definitely have eggs if they are with you! And yes, I discuss this in different videos, but most recently on an interview with Lillie Kane on RUclips. I think it's a combination of being able to see the contrast once everything is out of your system, but also that you build up tolerances to things when exposed to them a lot, and once you remove that exposure your tolerance subsides.
@@anthonychaffeemd Yeah, I think a lot of it is just that people get so used to feeling chronically crappy for so long that when they start to feel great again, they really notice it when something takes them back to crappy.
There are lots of carnivore recipes out there, and carnivore cooks on fb and RUclips. If you can eat dairy it's almost unlimited what you can do with food. Cv muffins, cv ice cream, cv pizza, jambalaya without the rice and veggies (shrimp, chicken, sausage), noodles with Alfredo sauce, creamy clam chowder, etc. Seriously I could go on and on. 😄
Does it have to be steak ? Can it be any meats like chicken n pork ? Or does red meat "cow meat" need to be consumed for the real benefits ? Can you eat beef ribs ? 😋
Anthony what's your take on alcohol on the carnivore diet? Do you ever drink on occasion or strictly avoid? Great work btw! Thanks for the great content
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! I very, very rarely drink. Like less than once a year. I never drank during the rugby season though, so it wasn't too hard for me. I have noticed though that when I do drink, while I may not even have a hangover, my energy levels and exercise tolerance will be MUCH worse for 3 full weeks, and it isn't until the 4th week that I'll start getting back to where I had been. So whatever event in going to drink at needs to be worth losing a month. Not many things meet that criteria for me. I would rather feel like a superhero 24/7 than feel drunk sometimes.
@@TheQuesoJC I used to be quite the wine snob back in the day but I found that, after going carnivore, wine just stopped tasting good to me, even "the good stuff". Also I found that I would get a hangover when I hadn't even had a buzz going on, like one glass of wine. Not worth it.
If you don't have a sensitivity to them and you can handle the fiber, they are one of the least toxic plant foods around. For me, I consider them to be a once-in-a-while treat.
Yeah it very much is, but the gif news is that after about 2 weeks cold turkey, you won't even miss them. A good way of beating them is anytime you get a carb craving assume that's your body telling you it's hungry, and to eat meat. So eat meat then and your cravings will go away, or at least be significantly reduced
Also, if you are having a craving and eating meat or eggs doesn’t seem good to you at the moment it is probably not real hunger but the addiction/noise.
@@anthonychaffeemd Indeed. I found that I never really got rid of the cravings on keto. It seems to have just enough carbs to keep tickling the addiction. Went full carnivore and kicked the cravings to the curb permanently.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful uploads. I noted on a previous video that you stated that you only salt your meat. I can only afford cheaper, mainstream meat and poultry, so even with salt they can tend to be on the bland side. Are there any other options available if I go full carnivore from 'ketovore'? Thanking you in advance.
Hee bro, check his video where he dries the meat in the fridge. He salts the meat on all sides to your liking. Then put them in the fridge on a roster with holes make sure the meat doesn’t touch other meat if you put more meat on the roster so that air can circulate and leave it for a phew days. It turns out great! Even cheap and hard meat becomes alot softer. I tried this after watching his video its amazing man.
Hey there if it helps I have a slow cooker . I go to the butcher’s and get free bones and boil up to get the stock then I low cook cheap cuts of meat in the juice slow and low.. I know it’s not like having a steak but it’s pretty 🤩 good :)

It was touch and go with my daughter when as a teenager she went vegan and began to have depression issues. It’s interesting that at that time the woke city where we lived had the highest teen suicide rate in the country. Boys also had high estrogen symptoms like man boobs and wide hips.
Hey do you have any information or opinions on ssris whilst on carnivore? For example how might the changes in metabolism effect the medication?, Thanks
Not specific to SSRIs but I know that carnivore can make you metabolize lots of meds more thoroughly so you end up needing much less. Always good to talk with you doc about meds though.
@@robinbeers6689 thanks for replying, I think that's what I've been experiencing so far, stronger effects from a smaller dose and possibly each dose wearing off faster
You might want to be in touch with me or find an audio engineer to clean up the eq on your incredibly important information presented here, no disrespect, its just very hard to hear as some caustic mids and bass are afoot.
Hi Anthony how to fix mucus issues on carnivore diet ?? I don't have fish dairy pork and cured meat..still I have mucus issues in this diet.. please help
Hello, sorry to hear you're having trouble with mucus. Dad normally that comes from dairy, but if you're not having any dairy at all I'm not sure exactly what's going on. Are you just eating beef and water? No artificial sweeteners or any supplements or anything like that?
Yes Anthony I'm only having lamb meat and water..we don't get beef here ..I'm only adding salt.. I don't know what can be reason .. and I get my meat directly from the butcher..
@@sarvpreetbhatia2811 aging the meat can, and spices can. If you're not doing any of that, it may be something else in your environment, or something besides a histamine reaction
They are wrong. Dr Gregor needs the Carnivore diet... badly. You can tell he is a low testosterone person. He is only 51 years old and he looks like an older weakling.
Loved the interview thanks for sharing! I can mostly get rump steak as it is what i can afford Rib eye is too expensive in the UK 😅. My mum doesnt have a gallbladder what can she do to help with digesting animal protein and fats please?
I am 56 and trying to figure out how to end things, as life is very bad for me. I have thought of eating differently,but I dont have it in me. I hate that I am the person that I am. Life is hard atuff.
I'm really sorry to hear that. Have you seen my interview with Professor Chris Palmer from Harvard? He has been curing people with major depression and even schizophrenia with keto / carnivore diets, among other methods of improving metabolism and mitochondrial function. I've seen it help many people in the past, and confident that it would help you as well. Good luck with it. ruclips.net/video/MmpkH7BbQeY/видео.html
Dr Terry Wahls had great success on a more Paleo style diet - but 9 cups of vegetables. That's a lot of poison, yet she recovered. Others have done well on the Wahls Protocol - consuming lots of 'poison' plant food. Why is that?
Tbh i think the so called anti nutrients have a positive effect on the body including cancer marcus rothkranz talks about it. I have no doubt that high plant fruit and veg is human food. I have researched it and more reversing of disease on plant foods some people may need more animal foods than others but not as predominant food source. We are not buult like carnivore. Illnesses people have are more to do with pesticides pharmaceuticals and other kinds of environmental toxicity mycotoxins etc
I think the Wahls Protocol works despite the plants not because of the plants. She also got rid of all the inflammatory grains, seed oils and such. That's a step in the right direction.
can i EAT; hot dogs.sausages.beef jerky.tuna fish(canned)..?!! on the "carnivore diets!??" will it help my..digestion.bowel movements(constipation),leaky gut,etc.....?!
Yes, just check the ingredients. Some brands sneak in sweeteners, fillers, fake colors, MSG, etc. On the fish, you would be better off with tinned salmon, sardines, or mackerel. Tuna is a predator fish so it accumulates the heavy metals we have polluted the oceans with in its flesh. Also check what kind of oil the fish is packed in. Olive oil will do but water packed is best. If it is packed in soybean or other seed oils, put it back on the shelf.
I think he just needs to learn how to adjust levels. Even the cheapest mics sound better than that. I'm a musician and understand mic'ing. Maybe he just needs an audio interface
I know the solution is stop nicotine, but for now it seems I can’t. Carnivore is helping but I chew nicotine pouches (not tobacco) and they all have sugar. Ruining the diet, every hour. Crap. Don’t know temporary solution.
The fruit oils, which are olive, coconut, and avocado, are not as bad as the seed oils. Some have been shown to be adulterated with cheap seed oils though so be careful. Animal fats are the best choices.
Ive been on a carnivore diet for many years now. Heres my problem now. I basically say to people who are suffering with depression and anxiety - man the fuck up. I don't know whether this is good or bad but its how I feel.

@@KimmyTexasthank u!!
I feel so good on this life style. I feel cheated, all my life I was under the influence of plants and carbohydrates. I am totally different person. Now i know what does it mean to be alive. Also now I am challenge driven rather than pleasure driven on standard garbage diet. I am alive!
❤
I have to say, as someone in their first week on carnivore, my mental state is clearing up to the point where I was emotional about feeling good in so many years and that’s only one single week.
Very glad to hear that!
Amazing isn't it 😄
Hi Things…..
How are you now nine months on?
Feel the same mate
@@GeraltOfRivia99It's real.
Healing from depression IS golden! Those that have suffered & healed understand the worth. Level up! So thankful!!
Absolutely! I'm so glad that you're doing well!
I had a similar experience as your depression after eating herbs. I am a psychotherapist - 30 years. I know my emotions and moods very well. Keto for 2 years, Carnivore for 5 months. Last night ate a steak covered in Cajun seasoning. Went to bed and I was flooded with anxiety. Really dark thoughts. I have processes to clear anxiety and they didn't work. Unusual. I prayed myself I self to sleep. Woke up fine. I reviewed my food that day and didn't pinpoint the seasoning. I first thought it was because I watched a suspenseful rather violent Netflix. It didn't add up until I heard you talk about the herbs on your lamb roast. It is profound how cleared up my mental/emotional got eating carnivore and now when something like this hits me it confirms I am on the right track. As a therapist it is now hard to treat clients with anxiety/depression and not suggest carnivore - most don't believe me, most prefers carbs. I understand tho, i wouldn't have believed the profound healing, physical and mental on carnivore if I hadn't experienced it myself.
How did your mood change on keto vs carnivore. Do you recommend both or one over the other?
@@Eserr7856 I was on Keto for about 2 years. I did not notice an improvement in moods. Now on the Carnivore for 11 months and my moods (anxiety and depression) have completely resolved. I have done, and continue to do things daily to manage my emotional and mental health. I am clear the carnivore diet really made a difference!
@@colleendevere7491 thank you!
@@colleendevere7491how are you doing?
Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. I believe being 100% carnivore/plant-free is definitely helping me manage my anxieties, agoraphobia, and avoidant personality disorder. I have overcome my anorexia nervosa of 33 years which I can only thank this way of eating for.
I decided to try carnivore to see if I could get rid of neuropathy in my legs. It's a little better after two months but not gone. But surprise surprise; my Aspergers syndrome has been put on pause after 41 years. I never expected this. I'm happy and laughing inside much of the time.
Yup. Suffered depression/anxiety most of my life. I'm 58 now. I started strict carnivore mid March and within 2-3 weeks it was like day and night. Depression gone. Thank you carnivore.
Did it get worst before it got better, I started carnivore 4 days ago and my anxiety spiked a lot.
@@oneman4412 No. it was weird. I was just plodding along as my old miserable aced self then one day I just realised al the dread and gloom had lifted and suddenly I had motivation, enthusiasm and more and more reasons to smile.Stick with it. it just gets better.
@@josephannett3471how are you doing? Does it still help you?
@nargiza181 doing good. Got stuff going on that would have sent me under but still not slipped back into depression.
@josephannett3471 thank you for your reply, can you share with us . What do you eat mostly? I am suffer from depression too much
I so wish I had found this information before coming across all the vegan influencers, I added meat back a few years ago and now am I ketovore. I crave meat nonstop since adding it back. I appreciate you saying at times we may need medication for different things even if carnivore but may need less which is great...I was in an auto accident and while healing has been challenging I know this way of eating will give me my best chance. I was vegan for 3.5 years after listening to Medical Medium Anthony Williams who promotes a high carb, zero fat, plant based diet and only how that with time I can recover... people are feeding their kids a fruit only diet listening to him, it's so sad. Grateful for this sound and informative message!
Thanks for the video. I started eating carnivore the day after Thanksgiving. I primarily wanted to see if there was anything to the mental health benefits as well. First of there absolutely is. I have done a total 180. Not without a couple of mistakes along the way. At about the 2 month mark I drank a cup of black coffee. It was everything I dreamed of...Man it was euphoric! BUT, the next day I woke up agitated, angry and everything pissed me off for absolutely no reason. My family surprised me with a trip to Vegas for my 50th bday and I damn near ruined it. The second incident happened close to how yours did. We had new friends invite us to dinner and there was tri tip on the grill. They were warned of my weird diet where I ate meat and salt. Evidently to them, it meant they could still be able to use a spice rub. I knew immediately, but rather than make a stink, I decided to go with it and see if I would react. Wow, again, I was irritable, and my joints ached for 2 days. Not as severe as the coffee but a noticeable difference. Sorry for the novel, but I thought I would chime in to say it does make a difference! The black cloud of dispair and hopelessness and the anger and irritable moods are gone. I wish I had come across this way of eating decades ago. I'm never going back. Oh, and the 35 lb weight loss is a great side effect!
👍🏼
Wow!!! Thanks for sharing
Me too. Wish I had known this 20 years ago.
Carnivore cured my depression and anxiety. 😊👍👍
Mine too ...by week 4 it was gone. I'm on week 7 and these results are so unexpected!
Still carnivore and still cured of depression?
@@mpelle15 yes ..and YES!
@@jenfern4554how are you doing? Does diet still help you?
@nargiza181 absolutely!
What an interesting interview. My cholesterol was so high the last time I had it checked like 3 years ago that my doctor refused to treat me if I stayed on my " all meat" diet. Haha. But let me tell you I am so happy. I never thought that it was from my way of eating. I was thinking it was my stage of life.. almost 70. It is the carnivore I bet. I'm so content and feel so lucky.. thank you for these insights. 🥩🥩🥩❤❤❤
You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear you are doing so well! And don't worry about your cholesterol on Carnivore, we got that one very wrong as doctors. I don't know if you've seen my other videos, but I go through the literature in several of them
Isn’t it amazing how eating proper nutrition for our body can affect us in amazing ways. Can you imagine if more doctors would start encouraging their patients to eat this way we would have a world of happier healthier people instead sick and sad.
Well carnivore is a ketogenic diet. Your ketone rise. Ketones make you feel happy. I can always tell if my ketones are high by how happy I feel.
Kudos to you!
Thank you 🙏🏽 This experience mirrors my own and is my strongest motivation for hanging onto carnivore, literally for dear life, as I never want to feel that depressed/suicidal ever again. Such a revelation when you test your personal reaction when you add carbs again a few times, and hit the pits in a big way. I now know my insulin response to any food. “The Fear” described for alcohol is exactly what I have after insulin raising foods. So I know beyond doubt what works best for me and nobody can tell me different. It’s completely different from eating meat and fat.
Thanks again Dr Chaffee for sharing this with us.
You're very welcome! I'm really glad that you've found carnivore and have been helped by it. That's really great
Treating myself for inflammation and chronic pain, my anxiety and depression disappeared. Almost all the testimonials. I have heard saying the same thing with an increase in clarity, focus and memory recall. This is totally opposite to a plant-based diet who commonly have terrible health and brain fog before they get dementia.
I've been eating "mostly" carnivore for months and have improved. I had my labs done January 31. For example,, my HbA1c was 4.9 and my glucose was 85. My inflammation numbers were better than before but still need to improve. Btw, I have RA. I spent 6 years in a wheelchair and have had 4 joint replacements. On February 7th I decided it was time to go full Lion Carnivore and eliminate the seasonings. I stopped my meds as well. I had significant improvement in reduced hip pain and walking. I have swelling in my wrists but no pain. And then, Yesterday I ate Italian Chicken Sausage. The flavor said Basil & Tomato. After eating it I had so much pain in my right hip I could hardly walk and had a terrible time sleeping last night. My hands became achy. NO MORE SAUSAGE for me. Today it's strictly steak and I'm improving again. I guess we all need to test to find out what affects us personally. It's totally TRUE! Those seasonings do something to us! It isn't just the foods. Believe me, it's much sadder to be sick, in pain 24/7, have no energy, and have my joints replaced than it is to eat a strict Carnivore diet.
That was interesting. My first experience with vegans was when my niece became a vegan in her early teens. She ended up suffering depression which she still suffers from and she is in her early 30s. No longer a vegan but still has a mainly plant base diet I believe. Many of her vegan friends were loopy and some quite aggressive.
Today is day 2 carnivore, and day 1 in ketosis. Only took 36 hours to hit ketosis. I feel mentally clearer, music sounds better. I feel nice considering this is just day 2. So far I’m a fan, but this is just the beginning. Your videos have been a massive influence. Thank you!
Wow! Your knowledge blows me away in every one of your videos Dr Chaffe! Much respect
Just started going to a therapist for anxiety and panic attacks and of course no mention of diet which is so sad. I was mainly keto before, going to try a carnivore elimination to see how that affects the attacks!
Good luck with it!
I’m on day four of meat, eggs,salt,and water. That’s it. Water has miraculously begun to taste sweet today and I feel very calm and even tempered. It’s tough, but feeling so good makes it worth the effort. Good luck
@@ultramiddle4991 that's great! And yes, it's definitely worth it. After about 2 weeks, you won't even miss not eating everything else.
Therapists are not allowed to suggest diet. I know I am one!
@sharon but they should be allowed to prescribe diet. That's the problem is healthcare doesn't want to drop the bomb on there friends who work for food companies and how they inflict mental disorders
Been carnivore only since mid-February and my mental health is vastly improved. Not only have I found that seasonings/herbs negatively affect my mental health, they very much affect my digestion. I get the 'bubble guts' after eating basically any seasonings.
Gratitude for every moment shared,
Meat = Health and Peace
A dear friend of mine went carnivore after seeing my success on it. She was just hoping to lose a few pounds but, to her amazement, the lifelong struggles she had had with clinical depression and anxiety attacks simply went away. This can't be a placebo effect because she never expected this.
Dr. Saladino calls this "emotional resilience" and I think that says it well. Things happen in anybody's life but do you spiral into a black pit of despair or do you run around with your "hair on fire" or do you cope?
Thank you very much again i changed thanks to you to carnivore i feel alot better thank you life safer! What do you also think of wimhof
method the cold therapy shower/ ice bath/ breathing technique thanks!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Wimhof really intrigues me, and he obviously is into something as he's able to do things that no one thought possible before. I'll admit that I haven't looked too deeply into his work though, but it's something I plan on doing. Do you practice his techniques yourself? How's have you found them?
@@anthonychaffeemd thank you sir yes i do on empty stomach in the morning breathing technique and i take cold showers for like 10 minutes your performance will go to the roof ans you will be stronger and inflammation in body comes down.
@@anthonychaffeemd Wim Hoff is a vegetarian I believe. It's interesting how people can be so different in terms of how their bodies process foods.
@@anthonychaffeemd research now shows that dopamine is released 500 times more with a cold plunge than not I don't mean a cold shower lol.
garlic, something I grew up on and liked...really affected my digestion so yes all seasoning affects the body....So now I stick with salt and some onion at times and feel much better

Dr Chafee. I don’t doubt carnivore or keto can help dramatically to improve or maybe eliminate mental health issues.. but in your case I think you were experiencing a big dose if guilt, from breaking your diet that night. :). I’m wondering if ypu may have considered that.
Ive been keto for years and carnivore for about a year. Finally off of anxieties meds.
Occasionally I will have a bad day where I eat something “green” or a tiny piece of cake at a birthday party, and I feel terrible later too.. I kind of think it’s just guilt and frustration over having to cheat a little in order to be “nice” to a guest.
I love your videos! Thanks very much to helping me keep up my carnivore diet.
I don't think it was guilt on my part, as I wasn't doing a "diet" and didn't feel guilty about having some herbs; I was actually interested in seeing what would happen. Also, I tried it the next day and felt the same, and then months and years later when greens would slip into my food I would get extremely down at the smallest of things. It still happens. I don't know what it is that's doing it, but there's some chemical in greens that really mess up my brain.
@@anthonychaffeemd the brain and body are complex dr chaffe 20 minutes ago I ate some meat with pasta and normally meat I'm ok but now i got this physical and mental anxiety and doom and gloom mood just 10 minutes after eating carbs. for the past few years now I have no idea why but carbs, pasta, sugar alot of things bring on these symptoms... I've done the usual blood tests and ekg and tests a bunch of times they all come back ok. One thing is for sure is diet is very important for my mental well being now.... in my 20s I could eat whatever but now I have no idea why but I have to work with my body now
I’m so fascinated and intrigued by this. I’ve had clinical depression and anxiety my whole life but it comes from a source of trauma. Then I self medicated FOR YEARS with booze, drugs and sugar. I’ve tried being vegan, vegetarian, doing juice fasts to “cleanse” my body of all the “putrefied meat”! In my digestive track plus my love of animals. BUT, I cannot deny when I eat a steak or ground beef I feel grounded instantly and FED! Soothed! Not in a toxic unhealthy way, either. My body telling me YES. So I’m going to try this. I’m on medication for PTSD and anxiety disorder and I absolutely believe medicine to have it’s place on a journey whether it’s permanent or temporary. Mine has saved my life and given me a life back. But I do want to try this way of eating. It may not be super “clean” as that takes money. But I’ll do my best. Plus if I’m only eating meat, all that other stuff I’m always purchasing should go down if not eliminated. It gives me hope that I can feel clarity, stability, peace and energy without medicine one day. I’m trying to decide if I work the healthful food in and slowly give up my sugars, or go cold Turkey. As an addict I know really there’s usually no tapering. Once it’s in the system it just keeps you chained. How exciting! Thanks for all your info and thanks to my HP that led me here. I heard you talking about buying a whole cow? How much does that cost? Perhaps people would go in on that with me. 😆 I love things like my dates and figs but to eliminate it all and add back. Then you know where something is coming from.
Also! Inflammation! From decades of wrong things put in my body. I’d imagine the brain could get inflamed? In a way? I have pain in my hands and…well, almost every where and I can’t take things for this so I hope this helps with that as well.
You might want to look up Dr Georgia Ede - she talks about carnivore and mental health. 💪
@@1plus1equals25 thank you!
@@Starburst75 Yes, brain inflammation is a factor. I don't have mental health issues but I had a seizure disorder for 35 years which is now gone since going carnivore. I really believe that brain inflammation had a lot to do with it.
I have experienced almost the same things,
Keep on changing, don't give up,
Have one thing as a rule of thumb, every time you mix carbs with meat in some way, whether along with the meal or not, you are likely to feel your foreign body.,
It gradually eliminates, and when it is cleaner of carbohydrates,
When you feel abstinence, be ready to understand that it is the sugar addiction, and so prepare a meat meal, and little by little you will feel better and improve every day,
But this requires discipline, and understanding that your body is changing and detoxifying,
I have helped in something,
Gratitude
Good Luck! Well actually you dont need luck but you know what I mean :)
I tried statins twice in my late 30s and 40s. Both times within several weeks I began to feel depressed and would start bawling out of the blue. At work I'd slip into the stairwell to hide it. Apparently not a common side effect, but that is what happened to me.
Very interesting. I'm sorry to hear that, and hope you don't have that issue again!
Statins are EVIL!
So so good!! Sooo much value!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it
Dr. Chaffee I am a huge fan of yours. Can you tell us, are you as much of a purist when it comes to your skin? What do you feel about sunscreen and modern day skin care? We are all here to look and feel our best and I am very interested in your opinions and advice.
Hi, thank you very much! And yes, I just use animal oils such as beef tallow or emu oil on my skin, and it has never been better. I've done an Instagram post on sunscreen that I will link here, but short answer is that we use way too strong SPF, and you don't need it at all when Carnivore. As you would expect, seeing as we didn't evolve with it.

Hi Anthony!
You mentioned the affect of herbs on a lamb roast.
I saw you posted a pic of biltong recently.
Roasted ground coriander is the usual for biltong and some use nutmeg too, as well as wine vinegar.
Did you just hang the meat after salting it???
I do love the flavor of coriander, but I have to wonder the affect.
Thank you for all your fantastic segments related to carnivore.
Yeah I just salted them as I would my steaks, and then hung them up. They turned out great!
And thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
I had the same exact feelings when I was bulking (for the purpose of weight gain in a weightlifting context) using oatmeal/PB/bananas etc. I cut all of it out, switched to mostly carnivore, but I still drink apple/orange juice as snacks, keeping my calories the same, and within 2 days I no longer had suicidal ideation. All of the depression and anxiety I experienced dozens of times throughout the day at intensities of 8/10 were now 2/10; and they only happened a handful of times with a transience that made it so much easier to let go of those emotions when they popped up.
All of the emotions and reactions to stress or thoughts were still there, but the frequency/duration/intensity were are dramatically reduced. Oh, and no longer feeling tired and unable to do tasks.
Have you ever tried bulking on just carnivore, how'd it go?
Eating 12 eggs a day using a whole stick of butter was the only way to get the calories without blowing money on steaks. ground beef fat is just so unsatisfying and distasteful.@@saam12malik
I got one question. Is a lot of bacon and eggs good on this diet?
Yes. Cheap and good. Just no plants.
The spices for sure like garlic really affect me negatively....but....after going carnivore and then experimenting with adding a clean pretzel back... I felt more relaxed when the sugar hit my system which told me the sugar is like a drug
I dont know if this will reach anyone that has debated this, but my friend is a strict vegan and weed smoker, tobacco ( it is legal where she lives) and I am on Carnivore. We had a healthy debate /discussion ( she understands that carnivore has turned my mental health around and she clearly sees it) about if smoking weed/tobacco is giving the same reaction to those effected by plants in general.....I thought it was an interesting topic that some who smoke become calm and others can panic or get sick. We were left at a stale mate, but I have some very depressed friends who are smokers ( not all) and I was thinking they were possibly allergic? She doesnt believe smoking would yield the same effect due to its not in your gut system.....anyway if someone has an idea I thought it was an interesting topic!
Wow. Its def possible. I used to enjoy smoking but now when i smoke weed my heartbeat goes way up and stays there for like 2 hours. The first 10 min it could be like 110. It gives me a lot of anxiety. I’ve also become allergic to a bunch of stuff the past 3 years. I’ve always wondered what’s going on but an allergic reaction could be it! You def can be allergic to particles in the air (like dust and pollen for example) . Thanks for bringing this up
peanuts completely wreak havoc on my mood like 1 or 2 days after eating them.
How safe is the carnivore diet for kidney function? I’m curious about the carnivore diet but this is my main concern. I’m having a lot of health issues. I also suffer from severe depression and eat a huge amount of fruits, salads and vegetables… so this is literally food for thought 🤔
The best videos I have found on this topic (which I've researched a lot given that I was born with only one kidney) are those from Dr. Ken Berry. Give his YT channel a try.
@@robinbeers6689 Thanks for the recommendation Robin will check Ken Berry out.
Any Body here been on strict keto for mental health issues but didn't feel benefits - until they switched to carnivore? I gave keto and omad a year trial. Omad showed some improvements, but with keto i felt the same or worse.
Wondering how carnivore can make all the difference after keto being a complete wash.
Here's what I can say. My cousin has been doing keto for about 10 years and still has add. I've been a carnivore for about 7 weeks. In the third week, I woke up a new man. No adhd.
@@howdy2496 its a pretty extreme diet, carnivore. But what could hurt if i committed for a month, right?
Carnivore sounds SO promising. 'NEW man' is no small feat!
@@nancneumann4196 Adhd, procrastination, brain fog to the point I thought I was in the early stages of dementia, anxiety, insomnia, and suicidal ideation completely gone. I started this to get my A1C down. I didn't expect all of this. The grass is green, and the sky is blue again. I'm waking up each day looking for a challenge to overcome. It becomes easy when you get this type of result. I can't say it works for everyone, but it is worth a one-month challenge to find out.
No change in mental health with keto but carnivore made a big difference!
Fortunately, Anthony's answers are clear soundwise. Simon's part are close to inaudible. Buy a mike.
I wish I could have known about this years ago...Both of my parents now gone could have benefitted.
I just ate a steak and I already feel that my depression completely lifted! Wow, meat cured me!
I have started carnivore 18days ago. The reason was to improve my mental health. I take alventa 150mg each morning, and 75mg with my lunch. I stopped taking 75mg doze. And waiting for at least 9 months, to completely cut the antidepresants. I respond well to fatty breakfast. I am hoping to improve my living 🌟 anyone else dropped antidepresants?
Me!
I've been on the carnivore diet now for 3 weeks. I didn't think this would happen, but since week two on carnivore, my anxiety and depression have worsened. I always dealt with anxiety and depression even as a kid. The positives so far have been increased energy levels and better sleep. Has anyone else experienced this? If so did it get better? What did you do?
How are you doing now?
What you eat?
I’ve heard that many people who are strict carnivore for awhile build up a sensitivity to foods they never had an issue with before. Is this true as some people can’t seem eat anything but meat or they have a reaction. Peterson is the perfect example. He said anything else tears him up. I can’t imagine only eating meat for the rest of my life- how boring. I have to have my eggs! 😂
Eggs and other animal products are carnivore, meat only would be the Lion Diet.
You can definitely have eggs if they are with you! And yes, I discuss this in different videos, but most recently on an interview with Lillie Kane on RUclips. I think it's a combination of being able to see the contrast once everything is out of your system, but also that you build up tolerances to things when exposed to them a lot, and once you remove that exposure your tolerance subsides.
Here's the interview I mentioned
ruclips.net/video/JgqqEWk85b0/видео.html
@@anthonychaffeemd Yeah, I think a lot of it is just that people get so used to feeling chronically crappy for so long that when they start to feel great again, they really notice it when something takes them back to crappy.
There are lots of carnivore recipes out there, and carnivore cooks on fb and RUclips. If you can eat dairy it's almost unlimited what you can do with food. Cv muffins, cv ice cream, cv pizza, jambalaya without the rice and veggies (shrimp, chicken, sausage), noodles with Alfredo sauce, creamy clam chowder, etc. Seriously I could go on and on. 😄
For someone going from complete raw plant based(only eating fruits, veggies and quinoa), what would be the best way to transition?
Does it have to be steak ? Can it be any meats like chicken n pork ? Or does red meat "cow meat" need to be consumed for the real benefits ? Can you eat beef ribs ? 😋
Anthony what's your take on alcohol on the carnivore diet? Do you ever drink on occasion or strictly avoid?
Great work btw! Thanks for the great content
I have the same question. Would be great to hear his perspective eon this.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! I very, very rarely drink. Like less than once a year. I never drank during the rugby season though, so it wasn't too hard for me. I have noticed though that when I do drink, while I may not even have a hangover, my energy levels and exercise tolerance will be MUCH worse for 3 full weeks, and it isn't until the 4th week that I'll start getting back to where I had been. So whatever event in going to drink at needs to be worth losing a month. Not many things meet that criteria for me. I would rather feel like a superhero 24/7 than feel drunk sometimes.
@@anthonychaffeemd Great insight thank you
@@TheQuesoJC I used to be quite the wine snob back in the day but I found that, after going carnivore, wine just stopped tasting good to me, even "the good stuff". Also I found that I would get a hangover when I hadn't even had a buzz going on, like one glass of wine. Not worth it.
Doctor, how do you feel about avocados? I know they are a plant but could they considered as fat and potassium mostly?
If you don't have a sensitivity to them and you can handle the fiber, they are one of the least toxic plant foods around. For me, I consider them to be a once-in-a-while treat.
I like to cook my meat in beef tallow, with some turmeric and ginger, and I have zero issues. On the contrary; I feel amazing more or less always.
Can you please talk about how to break the addiction to carbs. That's the hardest part going carnivore.
Yeah it very much is, but the gif news is that after about 2 weeks cold turkey, you won't even miss them. A good way of beating them is anytime you get a carb craving assume that's your body telling you it's hungry, and to eat meat. So eat meat then and your cravings will go away, or at least be significantly reduced
Also, if you are having a craving and eating meat or eggs doesn’t seem good to you at the moment it is probably not real hunger but the addiction/noise.
@@anthonychaffeemd Indeed. I found that I never really got rid of the cravings on keto. It seems to have just enough carbs to keep tickling the addiction. Went full carnivore and kicked the cravings to the curb permanently.
I am curious the effects fruits have on the body, like avocados, bananas. Thank you for reading and replying.
read up on oxalate poisoning.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful uploads. I noted on a previous video that you stated that you only salt your meat. I can only afford cheaper, mainstream meat and poultry, so even with salt they can tend to be on the bland side. Are there any other options available if I go full carnivore from 'ketovore'? Thanking you in advance.
Hee bro, check his video where he dries the meat in the fridge.
He salts the meat on all sides to your liking. Then put them in the fridge on a roster with holes make sure the meat doesn’t touch other meat if you put more meat on the roster so that air can circulate and leave it for a phew days.
It turns out great! Even cheap and hard meat becomes alot softer.
I tried this after watching his video its amazing man.
Hey there if it helps I have a slow cooker . I go to the butcher’s and get free bones and boil up to get the stock then I low cook cheap cuts of meat in the juice slow and low.. I know it’s not like having a steak but it’s pretty 🤩 good :)
Does anyone know where the other episodes of how to carnivore is? This is episode 9 but I wanna listen to all the other episodes??

Sounds silly to anyone who has never experienced it but it’s real.
It was touch and go with my daughter when as a teenager she went vegan and began to have depression issues. It’s interesting that at that time the woke city where we lived had the highest teen suicide rate in the country. Boys also had high estrogen symptoms like man boobs and wide hips.
I had roast beef at a friend's house and found out later that she put sugar on it and in the sauce . no wonder I felt bloated and fat
Hey do you have any information or opinions on ssris whilst on carnivore? For example how might the changes in metabolism effect the medication?, Thanks
Not specific to SSRIs but I know that carnivore can make you metabolize lots of meds more thoroughly so you end up needing much less. Always good to talk with you doc about meds though.
@@robinbeers6689 thanks for replying, I think that's what I've been experiencing so far, stronger effects from a smaller dose and possibly each dose wearing off faster

Hi Anthony how to fix mucus issues on carnivore diet ?? I don't have fish dairy pork and cured meat..still I have mucus issues in this diet.. please help
Hello, sorry to hear you're having trouble with mucus. Dad normally that comes from dairy, but if you're not having any dairy at all I'm not sure exactly what's going on. Are you just eating beef and water? No artificial sweeteners or any supplements or anything like that?
Yes Anthony I'm only having lamb meat and water..we don't get beef here ..I'm only adding salt.. I don't know what can be reason .. and I get my meat directly from the butcher..
@@anthonychaffeemd can the way of cooking also release histamine.. also doesn't it matter if I'm having meat with bones or without it..
@@sarvpreetbhatia2811 aging the meat can, and spices can. If you're not doing any of that, it may be something else in your environment, or something besides a histamine reaction
@@anthonychaffeemd sir what do u mean by aging?
audio is too quiet :(
Doctors McDougall, Gregor, Ornish, are they wrong, when they promote vegan diet?
They are wrong. Dr Gregor needs the Carnivore diet... badly. You can tell he is a low testosterone person. He is only 51 years old and he looks like an older weakling.
How much water do you drink a day?
Is it true that all plants cause harm or is that hearsay?
What about vitamin c?
Where can one find the debate you participated in?

Thanks!
Is it psychosomatic due to your studies around cancer and plants?
Loved the interview thanks for sharing! I can mostly get rump steak as it is what i can afford
Rib eye is too expensive in the UK 😅.
My mum doesnt have a gallbladder what can she do to help with digesting animal protein and fats please?
U still eat meat. Apparently the liver takes over for.thr gallbladder to help with that problem
I don't have a gallbladder and I've been carnivore for 9 years. No problems. There are oxbile supplements that can be taken if she feels the need.
You're very welcome, thank you for watching! And yes she can, she may just have to spilt up the amount of fat she eats at one time
What if the animal eats these plants, how does that affect us?
Animals have enzymes to process the plants...we dont...but we have the enzymes to eat and process the meat...my simple understanding of this
I am 56 and trying to figure out how to end things, as life is very bad for me. I have thought of eating differently,but I dont have it in me. I hate that I am the person that I am. Life is hard atuff.
I'm really sorry to hear that. Have you seen my interview with Professor Chris Palmer from Harvard? He has been curing people with major depression and even schizophrenia with keto / carnivore diets, among other methods of improving metabolism and mitochondrial function. I've seen it help many people in the past, and confident that it would help you as well. Good luck with it. ruclips.net/video/MmpkH7BbQeY/видео.html
Watch the Can Carnivore cure depression video at HomeSteadHow where Anthony got the idea for this
Dr Terry Wahls had great success on a more Paleo style diet - but 9 cups of vegetables. That's a lot of poison, yet she recovered. Others have done well on the Wahls Protocol - consuming lots of 'poison' plant food. Why is that?
Tbh i think the so called anti nutrients have a positive effect on the body including cancer marcus rothkranz talks about it. I have no doubt that high plant fruit and veg is human food. I have researched it and more reversing of disease on plant foods some people may need more animal foods than others but not as predominant food source. We are not buult like carnivore. Illnesses people have are more to do with pesticides pharmaceuticals and other kinds of environmental toxicity mycotoxins etc
I think the Wahls Protocol works despite the plants not because of the plants. She also got rid of all the inflammatory grains, seed oils and such. That's a step in the right direction.
can i EAT; hot dogs.sausages.beef jerky.tuna fish(canned)..?!!
on the "carnivore diets!??"
will it help my..digestion.bowel movements(constipation),leaky gut,etc.....?!
Yes, just check the ingredients. Some brands sneak in sweeteners, fillers, fake colors, MSG, etc.
On the fish, you would be better off with tinned salmon, sardines, or mackerel. Tuna is a predator fish so it accumulates the heavy metals we have polluted the oceans with in its flesh. Also check what kind of oil the fish is packed in. Olive oil will do but water packed is best. If it is packed in soybean or other seed oils, put it back on the shelf.
Im seriously going to start a gofundme to get him a real microphone... Intolerable to try a podcast this while driving.
Much love tho.
Shawn Baker needs it more!
I think he just needs to learn how to adjust levels. Even the cheapest mics sound better than that. I'm a musician and understand mic'ing. Maybe he just needs an audio interface
Can i eat berries on carnivore?
Yes, dingleberries
I know the solution is stop nicotine, but for now it seems I can’t. Carnivore is helping but I chew nicotine pouches (not tobacco) and they all have sugar. Ruining the diet, every hour. Crap. Don’t know temporary solution.
50% of people who die from heart attacks have normal cholesterol.
The fact that he says medication may be needed is a buffer he must need to add...other than an antibioric medications are never good imo
Not another one with dreadful sound! Sort it out please guys. The constant change in sound back and forth is unpleasant.
Dude yes I feel so much better eating meat salt water , very little fruit and some avocado that’s it
How about coconut oil and olive oil
Are they from plants? Then don’t eat them. It’s not that hard.
The fruit oils, which are olive, coconut, and avocado, are not as bad as the seed oils. Some have been shown to be adulterated with cheap seed oils though so be careful.
Animal fats are the best choices.
Hello, I would love to listen to you but the quality of the videos need a bit of improvement....
My PSA has gone up from all this meat.
A good talk ruined by poor quality video.
Ive been on a carnivore diet for many years now.
Heres my problem now.
I basically say to people who are suffering with depression and anxiety - man the fuck up.
I don't know whether this is good or bad but its how I feel.
….and what do you say to women?
