Hi. Wow. So much to digest (if you'll pardon the pun).
(EDIT: This got personal and went longer than intended. At the end I want to provide some Carnivore resources that may be helpful to anyone who has questions. I has recommendations.)
So I've been doing fasting and keto for a few years, but not as keto as I thought... mostly it was the fasting that helped me.
I learned about carnivore last year from several sources ALL-AT-ONCE and so started my rabbit-hole experience. I did a deep dive into what carnivore is and how it works and the various and sundry benefits.
WHAT stands out the most of all? SUCCESS stories. I see dozens of videos of people starting at 300lbs (and more) who had just about given up on health and fitness before learning about carnivore. They started eating a proper human diet and LOST the excess weight. I've seen a handful who started obese, who are today lean, healthy, fit, athletic muscle-bound dudes and dudettes. Funny how often the extreme weight-loss journey leads to people seeking fitness and strength.
I'm not there, but I understand it.
I don't like being fat. Once I lose the weight, I want to get fit, then strong and athletic.
Once I am no-longer obese, I don't ever want to go back to this ever again. (They are my spirit animals. Ha!)
SO.
I did a deep dive and found success stories and I found people who help people. I found channels that guide and teach. I found a Community of carnivore and "Lion diet" advocates.
My most famous example of carnivore experience & influence was Dr. Jordan Peterson (from Canada), who began the carnivore diet after seeing his daughter Mickaylah benefit from extreme (Lion diet) carnivore eating. They both have youtube channels. Mostly politics, except for the exceptions. Yes, they do discuss eating carnivore. Many video clips exist.
This lead me to videos from a channel I was already subbed to - Dr. Ken D Berry MD who advocated the keto diet for many years, then transitioned to Carnivore. You may have heard of "BBBE"? He came up with that. (Stands for "Beef, Bacon, Butter, & Eggs".) He has many informative videos about how to get started on the Carnivore diet and answering many relevent questions (in an irreverant, fun manner) to quiet your jittery nerves. I was nervous. Turns out, getting started was actually pretty easy.
After many years carnivore, his wife Neischa (who also has her own channel) has graduated to a "Ketovore" diet which is a very low-carb, primarily-meat-based diet. She looks gorgeous, so it must be working.
Researching HOW to get started lead me to my next recommend.
For women who have similar female concerns, look up Steak And Butter Gal. She is VERY candid about how her body responds to carnivore, with specific detailed attention regarding menstruation, flow, inflammation, headaches,... and libido.
Yes, ladies. She documents how her libido increased after switching to carnivore.
(Men: You know what you have to do... but do you have the strength?)
There are many other channels that provide guidance and information. I see Shawn Baker MD to my right. And some other channels that provide recipes and cooking demos. Ketogenic Woman comes to mind. Browned butter bites, anyone?
Frankly, seeing Jill's video today, dog-piling on top of everything else, is just a little extra icing on the cake.
I'm glad of it, as it gives me an opportunity to share some of what I've found.
I'm no expert. I'm no doctor. I'm just a guy who wanted to learn more and did a deep dive. That means when you decide you want to learn more and you're ready for that deep dive, you can start with some of what I've already found... which others had already found before me. They passed it to me; I'm passing it to you... and if this helps you, you'll want to pass it on to someone else after you.
If you're ready for 'Getting Started' search for Ken D Berry MD and 'BBBE' and start from there.
Good luck and God bless.
Thank you so much for all this great information. I’m familiar with Jordan Peterson and his story but was unaware of everyone else you mentioned. Thank you again for sharing this and I hope you continue to have success on your health journey ❤️
Hi Jill!!! You literally just told my story ❤.... after 2 years of being plant based vegan, trying to find healing after years of battling a handful of autoimmune conditions we've decided to be radical in February and go carnivore...praying I can have my beloved veg and fruits back this summer ❤... thank you as always for sharing!!!! Now I gotta go watch the seed starting videos again!! 😊
Could you show what you eat for a day on the whole food diet
Yes !
Experts in this field are dr, Eric Westman, Anthony Chaffee, Ken Berry, Philip Ovadia, and Robert Lustig just name a few. Jill, your testimony is Awesome. Thank you.
Thank you for ideas
Thank you for sharing. Congratulations to you and your husband! As an avid gardener and having raised my 8 children on a homestead, I really enjoy your channel. (Jess' too.) I started carnivore after Thanksgiving. It has given me so much more energy and all my joint pain is gone. Your baby will be born a carnivore, and if you breastfeed, stay one for awhile. :) May you have a great pregnancy and wonderful birth.
Omg! 🙌 yes! I was vegan, wfpb diet for almost 5 years. My health slowly declined and after a year of being very sick on and off I made the decision to stop being vegan. It wasn’t easy. Slowly adding in things and continuing to take out plants that bothered me… I ended up eating mostly animal products within a year of stopping veganism. I felt the best I felt in years. Animal meat and fats healed me and I only have issues when I fall back into a more plant based diet. I’ve now come to realize that flour is a trigger for inflammation in my body, not sure if it’s a gluten thing or the various other compounds in wheat. Or it’s simply a glucose issue. Sugar is also a problem for me. There’s a lot of things that I’ve found trigger my issues. Basically all the things that were staples in my vegan diet. 😢. So I’m still on my healing path but I know that it’s the meat 🥩 that’s healthy for my body. Sending you all my love.
Absolutely- carnivore is healthiest way of eating for me!!! It’s easy too! Lost 49.2 pounds right off last year- now I’m steady at weight and have kept it off with zero problems-Go Jill… I was going to mention when you announced some health issues-
Good for you sweetie. I,ve seen the changes that occur with this way of eating.
i originally left a comment saying that i didn’t really have much of a reason to watch past seeing your lovely face and supporting you, but boy did i just get told to sit down and listen to the rest of the video.
as a woman who’s still cycling, and have just dealt with the fatigues of that time of the month and cramping, you’re the person i needed to hear it from, to do an elimination diet like carnivore, and see what that does for me.
thank you Jill for just loving on us and sharing your journey, and you and Nathan and your kiddos have been such a lovely resource and comfort.
Gosh, this was so kind. Thank you! Any questions, feel free to reach out! I’d be happy to help - Jill
Eating all that protein provides muscle tissue with the energy it needs to perform. This will essentially boost metabolism which is why you were able to eat more of it over time. How fascinating, Jill, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm a huge foodie and thrive on variety but I keep my protein very high to support my muscle structure. I notice a huge difference when I don't. The body is an amazing creation! 😊
So glad to hear you are doing so much better. I did the carnivore diet last February for 90 days. I felt amazing, then one day I was tempted with pizza my all time favorite food and I very easily fell back into bad eating habits. I'm trying to get back to carnivore because I want to feel better. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I started with a low oxalate diet to heal autoimmune stuff and it started working very quickly but have been listening to my body and transitioning to carnivore. I feel so much better when eating high protein, especially when from beef. So glad you’re doing well!
Thanks for sharing!
Life is a journey of learning and change. So happy for you!
Jill, you and Jess inspired me to take control of my health and seek a functional medicine doctor. I'm one year in to being under her care and it has changed my life! I was experiencing sever brain fog, mood swings, random chest pains and many other symptoms that had me feeling like I just wasn't myself. After LOTS of testing I started on so many supplements and vitamins and did one month of strict carnivore. After the first month I started feeling really good. Over the last year I have continued the relaxed carnivore diet by eating low sugar fruits and vegetables, avoiding gluten, grains and dairy (except raw milk.) I also saw a cardiologist about the chest pains and found out that I had inflammation around my heart caused by a certain shot that was mandated at my work place. The holistic doc officially started treating me for what she called a post-vaccine injury. So, after one year I feel like a new person! No more chest pains, no more brain fog, I am sleeping so much better and I've lost over 40 pounds. All of that to say THANK YOU! Vulnerably sharing your story can impact so many people!!
Wow! Thank you for sharing your story and I can tell you’re feeling better. You are so radiant and full of life on your social media. The Ragan’s are always in your corner and rooting for you guys
@@WhisperingWillowFarm 💚💚💚
I’m about to start my carnivore journey and am preparing for it now. I’ve been struggling to find solutions to my various health issues for 2 years now. I made good progress in late 2022 after doing an elimination diet for 3 months and starting supplements for my deficiencies. 2023 I continued a Whole Foods diet but didn’t see any change. My weight stayed the same and my hormonal health continued to struggle. My mental health was at its worse by October and I started a SSRI medication just so I can get through the day. It’s definitely not where I want to be.
I think carnivore is the right next step to figuring out how to heal my body. Thanks for sharing so much good info. It definitely helps!
Do it! I have RA, depression. I started in Dec & it's been great & has helped my Dxs. Just a warning if yr overweight yr gallbladder may not be happy about it & may find out the hard way like me you have gallstones. So far I've resisted surgery. Look up Dr Ken Barry & his wife.
I love that you were smart enough to see someone who could help you manage your symptoms and monitor your labs etc. Just like many people suffer deficiencies after long term plant based diets, carnivore is the same thing just other side of the spectrum, deficiencies can still happen, and probably isn’t great long term. A modified version may be ok longer term.
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been carnivore for 2 years. I started after being mostly plant based as well. I’ve continued because of how amazing I feel. I enjoy some seasonal foods occasionally but very minimally. So happy for your new found health and your baby surprise!
I’m so excited for you and Nathan and your girls
Way to go Jill! Your choice resulted in the tiny life you are now blessed with growing inside you! God is so good and I know, without knowing you personally, that you and Nathan have been seeking His guidance to bring you to this point.
I would love to hear how you reintroduced food into your diet that’s what I find is missing on the internet.
Congratulations on your new little blessing to come. Glad you are feeling better.
Thanks for sharing Jill. I'm happy for you and Nathan. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Good luck!
Thank you so much for always being so sweet and informative and sharing your life with us. Congratulations on the little boy (:
Thank you. Hope your health continue to improve.
thank you Jill and Nathan for always being so open to sharing your testimonies. Even with all y’all have going on, Y’all find a way to include this wonderful community y’all have built ❤
Great Video Jill! I transitioned out of a plant based diet about 8 months ago after being vegan for 8 years. The first piece of meat I had was sausage and when I finished it, I wanted to lick my plate! My body IMMEDIATELY LOVED meat. Like you, I had no problem at all when I introduced meat. My body was very happy with me. I've been considering trying 30 days of Carnivore, but I'm in the process of breaking a nasty sugar addiction. I'm doing whole foods only right now. You have me convinced that I should consider carnivore again.
Yes do it. Plus do fasting will help with sugar. The longer you do it will help with sugar. I'm in love Reese PB cups & haven't craved it. Been doing since Dec. Will continue cuz I'm managing a autoimmune dx & need weight loss.
I don’t think my comment posted but just want to thank you so dearly for sharing ❤️so much of your story has been mine as well and became plant based when I was sick and did that 7 years till almost lost my life and just what a journey .. trying to regain my life .. just thankful for the ability we have to change our minds to grow and learn so bless you and your precious family! You are a beautiful soul ❤
I know you said something along the lines of “it must be high quality meat” etc etc. so I just wanted to jump in with a caveat of BUT…..if you can’t do all high quality at once or high quality all the time, just do what you can! 😊 If you are removing all the “extra” (carbs, junk, inflammatory foods) and eating the best meat you can, even if not organic and grass-finished, you are still going to be doing your body a world of good. I wish I could eat steak all day every day 😂😂😂😂😂😂 but my wallet isn’t that fat. I feel like my eggs are though, thanks to my chickies! And they are organic so I have small wins to celebrate. On that note-I’m going online to see what this bison farm nearby is selling. Yum. Good luck everyone, and if you’re debating it-just start! Baby steps!
This! Agree with this. Everyone should look up Dr Ken Berry that has said this on multiple videos/lives.
Jill, you look fantastic. Congratulations to you and the whole family. I’m so excited for you all to welcome this new blessing into your lives.❤
THANK YOU, JILLIE GIRL!!!! 'Nuff said on my part! You ROCK, Girl!!! Congratulations on Little Brother for the other girls! Very exciting!!! Prayers, Hugs, Love!!! 🙏🙏🤗🤗🥰🥰
I’m primarily doing an animal based diet now after being more plant based for most of my life. Feeling so much better! Hair is strong and healthy. Skin is awesome! Lots more energy! Highly recommend!! ❤🎉
And yes, whole foods only. Another great video is from Dr. Chris Knobbe on seed and vegetable oils.
Thank you for sharing your experience! While our stories are very different, I’m having some health issues that I desperately want to change and this has given me hope that seeking the right kind of care will help me. ❤
I am 30 days in today carnivore…. But on weekends I do have some Otis sour dough bread. I just learned how to bake Otis Jr…. And every weekend I bake… ❤
Im so sorry you’ve been so sick. And I’m so happy you’ve found something to help. I feel so fortunate to do well on a vegan diet. Fruits and veggies and roots are my absolute favorite. I do not tolerate animal products well.
Thank you for this. I have been considering trying the Carnivore Diet recently. I have been sick with digestive issues for over 10 years, some months worse than others where I couldn't leave my house. And I have 5 kids to take care of. I'm going for it! Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Thank you 🙏 and I’m excited for you to step out and give carnivore a shot. I believe in a short time, it will get your body back in balance
Yes, do it!!! I've been carnivore since Sept and have 4 kids. It is a life changer!
Thank you for all the information and I’m grateful for you sharing your story! 😊 I laminated my sourdough and herbal pages while listening.
Thank You for sharing with us Jill 💕💗💕
So happy to hear that you are on the road to great health , you look so beautiful ... Keep well..
I think you meant to say "Health" in your thumbnail, instead of "Heath." Hubby and I have been on "ketovore" for a while now, and feel GREAT!! We've lost weight, are no longer tired, no more diabetes, arthritis, pain, etc. We eat a lot of meat, cheese, eggs, cream, butter, and other dairy, but add in a few low carb things here and there. (We add onions and seasonings, a vegetable once in awhile, etc.) A plant based diet is not good for you AT ALL!! Thank you for sharing, and congrats on the new bundle of joy!!
Check out Dr. Ken Berry or Dr. Shawn Baker or Nurse Neisha Berry!
Haha I suggested Dr Ken Berry too
oh wow congratulations on your pregnancy!!! wow sooo beautiful
My first pregnancy I was an accidental carnivore. I was vegan for over 5 years. Then I did pescatarian, mostly vegetarian for years after that. With my first pregnancy all I wanted was beef, pork, and fish. I truly believe the only vegetables that I ate was because the Asian lady at my favorite restaurant wouldn't give me my food unless I ate a plate of vegetables first. And since I was definitely in full blown pregnancy brain it never dawned on me that I could just get up and leave.
Thanks You for sharing and congrats on so many levels
Thank you 🙏
Dr Saladino has ice cream recipe I love. Basically it’s 2 egg yolks, real cream, vanilla, honey & fruit 🍌 of your choice. I just drink it, tastes so good for a shake. Yummy 😋 ❤👍🏼
Where can we find the recipe/instructions?
@@cmac6992 just go to Paul Saladino RUclips channel & look up his ice cream 🍨 recipe. ❤️
This was a great video! So informative! Thank you so much and congratulations again. 🍼👶🏻
Good Afternoon thank you for sharing. You are the second person that got pregnant, Neisha Berry Dr Ken Berry's wife also had the same experience. I am 66 and experiencing inflammation/arthritis. My shoulder hurts everyday all day. I was diagnosed with arthritis. You have inspired me to try the carnivore diet again. I tried once but didn't stick to it but now I am tired of being in pain!!
I hope it helps you
Great video Jill!
Jill I am so happy to see you healthy and pregnant. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks friend
Ive done a squeeky clean diet for my last 5 pregnancies and it is so incredible....Ive had zero pain after baby is born even when they push on the uterus to help it shrink down....its like a nice massage instead of the torture pain that I had with the previous pregnancies on different diets 🤪 anyway 😊
Also, the Lord told me to stop having caffeine, a few years ago, I wasnt sure why. Usually I stopped during pregnancy and then a little while after and would start again if baby didnt get any diaper rashes from it. But He asked me to stop and I pouted. But then I realized it was a gift because I was better able to handle "kid speed" I wasnt getting as anxious waiting for them and I wasnt crashing like I used to. So we just do decaf coffee now when we want coffee and its fine.
Good video trying to find a better diet.👍🏻
Congratulations 🎉
My adult son has recently had SERIOUS digestive issues and diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Two weeks ago he had an allergy test run on him, and he is allergic to veggies!😳. He’s always said he was a ‘Meat-a-vor’ and now it has been confirmed.😂. I have actually shared this video with him and hoping it will encourage him to do something to help him medically, physically, and mentally. Thank you for sharing, it couldn’t have commented better time.
👋bless you, your family & all that watch.
Check out dr. Ken Berry 's wife, Niesha Berry, went through pregnancy on carnivore diet
I am thriving with the Mediterranean diet. I hope everyone finds a lifestyle that works forc them.
I can relate to what you're saying. I had PCOS symptoms, basically never got a period, was working out a ton (weight lifting/strength training) On the outside looked great but inside I was messed up. Basically cutting down the working out and eating more and (more meat) basically healed me. I got pregnant and have a 3 year old son now. Since then, I have a regular period. God bless your little bun in the oven ❤
Thanks for sharing your story ❤️
I think if you listen to Dr. Eric Berg who does some veggies & meat & Dr. Ken Berry strictly carnivore & Dr. Paul Saladino who is carnivore with fruits 🍉 & some veggies, you can find a balance between the 3 doctors diets who specialize in this type of eating. I have to admit it helped my inflammation & fibromyalgia, energy levels & weight balance. Just my opinion after over a couple of years. 😊❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁
Thank you for sharing. I needed to hear this.🤗🇨🇦
Hii I love your videos! I have noticed the last couples videos the audio is only coming out of one speaker on the phone where most videos it’s coming from both. I’m not sure what that is but just thought it might help ❤️
I'm so happy for you both with your new found health and baby on the way ❤ (you look fabulous by the way!)
And I appreciate every single woman who bravely shares their hormone and health journeys with the world. It does sadden me though to realise just how many of us suffer from similar nightmares ... and that mainstream health care providers seem uninterested or simply incapable of guiding us through these issues, especially when something as simple as a diet change can have such a huge impact. I keep thinking I should try this carnivore diet to see if it helps me at all, but I seem to suffer when I start consuming more meat, especially red meat. Might be a dumb question but is fish allowed? Maybe I could try fish and eggs for a month (sounds thrilling 😂)
This is very encouraging, thanks for sharing! I started AIP a few days ago , I might still do carnivore for a month but I’m a foodie too and even doing aip is a mental challenge 😂 but after a few days I’m already feeling better than I did, still a ways to go though.
I love that this did so much for you and you’re feeling great!! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this Jill. It's such an informative video❤ I'm so happy your doing so well and feeling better😊
We all have to try different foods and eliminate different things. I cannot tolerate a lot of grains. Really, not much at all. I thought these super healthy foods were good for me and my doctor said nope, your body doesn’t like them. I’m not carnivore but have considered trying it. Maybe I will soon. Thanks for sharing. And blessings to you and your family.
Geesh so much info out there. Sone say this way others are that way.. i have thyroid problems up and down. Constantly foggy in the mind. Drats i wish i could have sone more indo on this. Any books or ect that you can provide???
I could eat meat all day if I needed to for my health, but we do eat a lot of meat as it is. Glad it helped you out.
Check out neisha berry pregnancy…she did carnivore pregnancy for both her babies.
I suggest Dr. Berry and Neisha.
Thank you for this video. I feel like I need to find a functional doctor to help me with my depression at the age of 62. Nothing that my doctor has prescribed is helping and I definitely need help!❤
Thank you for sharing and I encourage you to seek out a holistic functional practitioner
First, Super excited for your pregnancy congrats. Second, now that you are, how have you transitions with your carnivore diet? Are you going whole foods, what has been advised? I would really appreciate if you shared this information. hank you for your transparency, and for being sure a talented individual. I really have enjoyed your channel and your gardening tips.
Hey there! Yes, i have transitioned into a Whole Foods diet during pregnancy. Following closely to the book, Real Food for Pregnancy by Lily Nichols. It’s so great, comes with a meal plan, recipes, ext. i will be talking more on this soon too!
Look up Dr Ken Barry. His wife did Ketovore less than 20 carbs a day while pregnant & breastfeeding.
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
Hi Jill. Thanks for sharing! So why did you stop and what did they transition look like?
I’m just getting started on carnivore and boy is it hard giving up sourdough anything I just learned how to make breads and all of the stuff and sell it but now to make and not eat is tough 😢
I feel your pain but the sacrifices were worth it after seeing the results
Thank you for sharing jill. I wonder if i should try it for one or two months
I miss having chickens, as a kid we had easy access to home grown food, so much tastier. Including carrots that tasted of carrots not water.😢
Hey Jill! Thank you for this video, so helpful and im glad it worked well for you. Did you incorporate fermented foods during the 2 months of carnivore?
I cut out everything but animal protein. I’ve since incorporated them back into my diet but in smaller amounts
❤❤❤
Jill - I’ve always wondered if you have Lipedema/lymphedema in your legs. I’ve also wondered if you were a Zebra 🦓 EDS. I only ask because I could see a lot of my traits in your body as well. Keto helps me every time but it’s hard to stick with.
Wow 3 day cycle on carnivore sounds amazing did you have a longer cycle before the surgery ?
Yes. I was usually a solid 5-6 days pre and post surgery
@@WhisperingWillowFarm that's amazing I'm glad your feeling and doing great I have hormonal issues and have always had terrible menstrual cycles I might have to look into this for myself thank you for the detailed video that just blew my mind.
A carnivore resource: Dr. Ken Berry on YT
Hey doll. I was curious is there a herbal remedy for hormonal balance? My daughter has epilepsy and we've got alot under control but she has a huge increase during menstruation and a couple weeks prior. I'd love to find something natural to maybe help her. Thanks so much
Can you have raw milk on carnivore diet? Great video! Thanks!
Yes you can!
@@WhisperingWillowFarm wonderful! Thank you so much! I am going to try this for sure! I feel your video is a confirmation from the Lord as my husband and I have been struggling with infertility and you are like the 4th person that has talked about doing keto or carnivore for fertility. Thanks again for sharing! Blessings and God’s hand on you and your baby through this beautiful pregnancy! ❤️❤️❤️
The body is so amazing. This information is so brilliant thankyou. I am so happy you are feeling better in yourself and Congrats on the pregnancy 😁. May i ask ....is this carnvore diet something used for a body reset, or should we eat this as a regular reset?. Will the information you have learnt change the way you feed the family? I know we are all learning every day and im really interested. Thankyou so much xx
What about cholesterol levels?
My husband had been on carnivore for about a year and his cholesterol was in the normal range. I suggest reading the book Lies my doctor told me by Dr Ken Berry and he explains why cholesterol isn't something we should worry about regardless. I personally would be on Carnivore myself if I didn't have high Iron. I haven't done enough research to figure out root cause of that.
Watch Dr Ken Barry. I've been on less than 3 months & my labs are awesome versus a yesr ago. Sugar is what makes yr labs bad.
Yes, I would love to see now what you, and your whole family now eat on a regular basis. Do your children and husband now eat this way, if not how has this been to fix different meals for them? I think a lot of people can relate with what you are saying when it comes to the plant based lifestyle. We were promised health and vitality by going that way only to start become depleated over time. I have been that way for probably 10 years now and I need so much supplementation, and even now I just feel like I don't have the energy I'd like, nor the brain clarity. I have had 6 children and the youngest is now close to 7 months, so we are still getting up a little earlier with him than we'd like, so maybe thats part of the brain fog. I just thought that with all the good supplementation we are on that I would feel great, but I seem to keep needing more. :( I cant wait till you come out with that new video on what your doing now; I think it will be equally as encouraging to many people!
How did you transition out of carnivore? My experience with adding back foods has been challenging.
I would love to know who you use for your wholistic practitioner. I live in Atkins so not too far from you
Dr. Amy Beard
My only quibble with this is that is not true that there are nutrients that you can only get from eating meat. There are plenty of very healthy folks, even bodybuilders and top athletes, who are totally plant based and don't take a bunch of supplements to augment their diets. However, as Jill talks about at the end, is that it was about eating the right whole foods including healthy fats from nuts and seeds and nutrient dense plant foods, not just slugging down smoothies and juices (and lots of coffee.) The only nutrient that is definitely missing from a balanced, totally plant-based diet is Vitamin B12. The rest are all there if you are eating enough calories from a wide variety of plants. However, it is really hard sometimes to reset, which I understand because in order to lose a lot of weight years ago, I did low carb/carnivore for a year. Ketosis really kills your appetite and kind of gives you a high that was what I needed at that time. Jill was stressed out, addicted to caffeine and using intense exercise as well to deal with that stress and eating an unbalanced, relatively high sugar, vegan diet, so it does not surprise me that things were totally whacked out. Intensively eating nutrient dense foods, animal or plant based, can really turn things around. My worry is for folks who permanently eliminate most fruits and vegetables from their diets. True carnivore diets are very low in the fiber and other nutrients that most research shows is so important to a healthy microbiome. I also see some long-term carnivores who take massive amounts of supplements which seems to indicate that their diet is still very deficient. Everyone's body is different, but it just seems that time and again, the research shows that those who eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, either exclusively or in addition to animal products, are the longest-lived with the least amount of health problems. So am glad to see that the strict carnivore diet in this case was a transitional stage to a more balanced way of eating. It does take education, time and effort to devise a healthy whole foods, plant-based diet, it's not just about eliminating animal products. There are plenty of unhealthy vegans out there. It is wonderful that Jill has turned things around and the pregnancy is just such a special reward for her hard work and Nathan's support for her journey. Am very happy for her and her family. It is such a blessing. Sorry this was so long.
Yes for some it's essential for T2D or autoimmune dx. All the Dr's I've watched don't recommend much supplements if any. Have you watched Dr Ken Barry? The govt food requirement is not good. Too much fruits/veggies/starches. They think oatmeal/ rice is healthy. Its not.
I don't think any whole foods are necessarily "unhealthy" for everyone - it is always a red flag for me when someone says a food that millions of healthy, long-lived folks eat is never good for you. There are plenty of very healthy folks who eat a lot of oatmeal and/or rice. What I saw from listening to Jill is that she wasn't eating enough protein or fat plus some other nutrients and certainly going carnivore/hi fat for a while will help with that in a hurry which is one reason why she felt so much better in a relatively short time. You can also get more balanced with a plant-based diet, but you need to really do your homework and look at calories and macros for at least a while until your body gets what it needs. For some folks, that might involve extra protein in the form of more processed, but not sugar-filled, plant-based proteins such as protein powders and things like TVP/seitan/tofu. It is very individual and Jill is working towards finding her sweet spot, especially important now that she is pregnant.
The issue with plant eating is oxalate overload. Read the book Toxic Superfoods.
Some people can be adversely affected by dietary oxalates, for instance, those very prone to kidney stones. However, most of us handle oxalate just fine. Oxalates are water soluble, so if you are worried about them in your spinach or beet greens, then boil them in water for a while and discard the water or just don't eat those very high oxalate veggies. There are many vegetables that contain very little oxalate and are extremely healthy for most people. Even those with high oxalates contain many other nutrients that are very beneficial, so saying that vegetables are toxic is kind of over the top. It's just like the whole "lectins are poisonous" thing - lectins are destroyed during the cooking process, so unless you are eating raw kidney beans, not an issue. All foods have the potential to react with some people in a negative manner. But we still have to eat, don't we.
There are most definitely nutrients found only in animal products, and not just b12. And carnivores who supplement do so because they don’t eat the organ meat. If you eat the organ meat there is nothing to supplement. I agree a healthy whole food diet is best for an already healthy human, but most of the population is not healthy. Once you factor in disease, especially chronic and autoimmune, there is no one size fits all. There may be “healthy” grains out there but I can’t eat them. People may sing the praises of raw dairy but I can’t tolerate any dairy. Kale was known as a superfood for years but it destroyed my thyroid. There are many plant foods that are safe for some people but poison to me. I can tolerate meat and eggs just fine but not dairy. I don’t do smoothies but live for bone broth. I could never go strait carnivore (as a gardener it would break my heart), but I’m aware of it’s benefits to a person with my particular health issues. Diet is far more complex than “just eat a variety of whole foods from all food groups”
I really want to try the carnivore diet. I'm a coffee lover and need some help figuring out the raw cream. I bought some from a local farm. It was VERY thick and made my coffee really oily. What am I doing wrong? I really wanted to love it.
Try using butter instead of cream. I use my immersion blender to blend it into the coffee. It is not at all oily and is absolutely delicious!
Our food has gotten so far from actual real healthy nutrition from gmoing our grains increasing gluten in our highly processed, bleached wheat. Gluten causes hormone issues. To hybrid fruits and vegetables which also mess with the natural order of things and are also hormone disruptors with hormones as a process to make them hybrid.
Hey, Check out Dr. Ken Berry and his wife Neisha Berry. She is a nurse and has wonderful advise about pregnancy and lactation while being on Carnivore/ keto diet.
Thank you 🙏
So thankful that your ultimate message is balanced and diverse whole foods long term. I believe carnivore can provide a reset of sorts but I don’t believe it is healthy long term. So glad you’re feeling good. Congrats on your pregnancy!!
Oh the keto diet????
Keto and carnivore are different
How does carnivore differ from Atkins?
Carnivore is all meat. Atkins is like keto/ketovore. Less than 20 carbs. You can all the benefit which way you go.
Hi Jill, do you still do sourdough?
Yes! So much sourdough lol
Jill my only question is with this meat only diet can you use spices and herb or not. How did you make each meal appetising to yourself. I am older than you no chance for babies but need energy. So it would be good if I can do it just for no bloating having more energy maybe even I can sleep better.
Yes! Redmond real salt has super clean seasonings and we used those all the time. It definitely helped, we just made sure we didn’t use any seasoning with sugar.
@@WhisperingWillowFarm I was thinging on the line Garlic, Paprika etc. We do not have that salt you are referring in Australia only seasalt.
Yes we use blended seasonings that have herbs, salt, and pepper
What functional medicine doctor did you use?
Is it just me or is the audio messed up?
Without watching this, my problem with it is that you should see a qualified nutritionist about what is best for your body. I’m a PA with an NRT practitioner and I do not recommend following a diet like this while pregnant. Please see an Advanced Clinically Trained NRT practitioner too because they are trained to the highest level. Y’all don’t even understand how much the last few years has affected people’s health in ways they didn’t realize. NRT can really help
When you start using acronyms, let us know what they stand for. PA, NRT?
@@Sbl85339 good point. Patient Advocate and Nutrition Response Testing
I appreciate you voicing your concern. However I have been given the go ahead by my holistic practitioner and my midwife who both recommend an animal protein diet during pregnancy based on results they’ve both seen. I would never do anything to put myself or my unborn child into danger. I have been researching this for months and was even told recently by a Dr. at the Health Department when I went in for an ultrasound, that she has been amazed at the positive difference she’s seen in the health of the child and placenta when the mother has eaten an animal protein diet
@@WhisperingWillowFarm Jill, I’m sorry I should’ve clarified. I was meaning for your viewers. I meant ‘you’ in a general way, as in the viewer watching the video. So many people see someone else doing something and just do it without making sure it’s right for them. I’m sure you are well advised! All the best with your pregnancy! I’m very excited for your family!!
Had to give this a thumbs down because of the dishing of conventionally grown meat. For many thats all they can afford and yes they will get the same benefits as the more expensive meat. I suggest you watch some of Doctor Berry’s videos.
If you are in a place to afford the non hormone grown meat, then why not? If you can only afford commercial feed lot meat, then do it. It's better than none. Please don't diss someone that chooses to seek the best they can afford.
Look for local butcher shops and ask them where they source their meat. i have one near where I live that buys locally grown beef and their meat is better and less expensive than the main grocery stores.
@@steveegbert7429She never dissed anyone. She stated a fact eating grass fed pastured raised meat is best. And it is best. She is explaining her journey. Why are letting your ego get offended?
Yea she did. Pretty much said don't waste yr time if you can't do the best meat. That is not true. She needs to watch Dr Ken Berry & wife Neisha the nurse.
@@angelaraum1545 The people you are referring to order from Billie Doe meats which is pastured raised. 🤔🧐
@@user56gghtf I was replying to the OP above, I was not talking about Jill. Maybe you meant to reply to Junkinsally?
