Ken, I found you a few months ago and now YOU are MY teacher. I'm pretty picky about who I listen to, since I taught biology, chemistry and geoscience for 20 years. YOU made me understand and NOT FEAR my blood lab results. Now I need to sell my doctor. I'm down lots of lbs (about 100), of which most was recent, now that I've learned more about better eating. LOVE THE BRAIN BUZZ.
I just wanted to share my experience so far with the Carno diet. First it has only been 24, 25 days since I started. I will be 61 in Nov. I accidently found Dr. Berry while goofing around on RUclips. I was hooked and a week later started Carnivore. I am 5'7" was 290 lbs, mother of 4 grown children, and 7 grandkids. I did not have weight problems until I had my last child at 30 yrs old. I stayed around 190 lbs to 200 lbs after she was born for 20 years. My husband died of cancer in 2011 and within 6 years I gained 60 lbs. Then I quit smoking and gained another 35 lbs. So I thought weight loss surgery was my only hope. Then the Pandemic hit. I now was type 2 diabetic, had severe peripheral neuropathy in my feet. It became so bad I could only stand about 15 min. and walk 5 blocks. I also have fibromyalgia and gout. Fatty liver as well. Arthritis in both knees and spondylitis in my neck. And plaque in right artery. Oh I forgot I had severe Gerds and psoriasis. So what has this way of eating done for me in less than a month? About 10 to 15 lb weight loss, Gerds is gone, I can now kneel on floor and get up without help. I was unable to do this for the last 5 years, psoriasis is almost gone , my skin is soft, I walked a mile the other day, I eat once a day and have fasted for 47 hours. Couldn't quite make it the 48 hrs. I have not had one carb pass my lips and all sugar cravings are gone. I was a sugaraholic. I will see my Doc this Thursday and will Tell her what I am doing. I am hoping she will be supportive. I am so excited about my future. I know that God directed me to Dr. Berry's video. I have never felt better.
Yes ma'am..I'm t2d..extra low carb..sugars still high.. carnivore for about a week..keto for about 2 months before carnivore..just frustrating but keeping on.. congratulations to you💚
Dana, your testimony was what I needed to hear today. God bless you and thanks for sharing. My eyes filled up as I read your experience, which reminded me why I am on this path in the first place. A few years ago, severe RA and Type 2 diabetes ruined my life as I knew it but put me on the right track for the rest of my life. Mostly ketovore these days and getting closer to full carnivore. Healing is possible and I thank people like Dr. Berry and Bella so much.
I had A1c of 10.1 Feb 2019. I started keto. I got off the meds they gave me in 4 weeks. Fatty liver went bye bye. I went mostly carnivore in mid 2020 to fight kidney stone formation because I'd been making them since 2001. So far so good there. Good we found this way. I have a list of about 20 some people I listen to on this way of eating and the biochemistry behind it.
This MY story exactly. At age 62 and 3 months in, I already feel 20 yrs younger. BG down from high 200's to avg of 120. Down 34 lbs without ever being hungry!! Mostly OMAD. It's truly amazing. I will never eat sugar again and do not crave that or carbs.
Congrats!! Fantastic. Very happy for you and I love reading everyone’s comments. It really helps! I’m 70. Just began (almost 1 week complete ) Already seeing results. I don’t have a lot of weight to lose. Years back I lost 45lbs on keto. I was convinced to do a plant based diet. Inflammation was out of control. I was very depressed. I was going through a failed relationship and dealing with heartbreak. I could barely get out of bed. In 5 short days, the depressed fog has lifted. I feel very good and looking forward to reversing the type 2 diabetes diagnosis I received last Feb. Thank God for Dr Barry. His willingness to share all he knows is a blessing particularly since we can’t trust mainstream medicine anymore.
I am a cancer survivor and Coincidentally enough they advised to keep meat to a minimal. Now In my opinion it's because they want you to stay sick. That is why they recommend heavy veg diet. I am now convinced that keto/carnivore = health. I feel so much better.
I’m constantly reminded of the pervasive mediocrity and docile yet dangerous groupthink in the medical community. I have very little faith in it. Best advice is to “be your own doctor”: use your God-given critical thinking and access to information to do your own research. You know your body better than anyone.
I am a two time breast cancer survivor and 65 years old. I have been cut from surgery, burned by radiation, and poisoned by chemo. In all this time (20+ years of treatments) not one doctor talked to me about nutrition or what I was consuming. I’m currently eating a ketogenic diet and beginning my own research in order to heal and keep living. My best to you.
I am 83. Have had high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes for 25 years. Also overweight. Started carnovoir 3/22/24. Today is 5/15/24. No more diabetes, no more high blood pressure. Lost 8 lbs. No more meds. No more SAD.
My daughter who is 14 has had serious eczema her whole life. She decided to follow my Carnivore diet. After one month the eczema improved allot but not completely gone. She showed me Bella's video about eczema. In that video Bella said that chicken and pork are high in histamine which is not good for eczema. For the last few days my daughter has only eaten salmon and beef. It is early days but it looks like the eczema is almost gone. Thank you Bella for the great advice.
Excellent well done! My husband had psoriasis and 3 years ago went ketovore and it virtually cleared up but would have the occasional flare up. This past year he has also incorporated the Wim Hoff breathing technique and now has no flare ups. Just in case you are interested in getting rid of extra inflammation.
That explains a lot. I’ve had chicken and bacon recently and noticed my asthma is starting to act up again. I’m going to cut them out again and see the difference. I prefer beef anyway.
Oh my...those final words from Dr Berry "you are not broken" just reduced me to tears. I am crying my eyes out here. I started Carnivore on January 1 2024 and to hear those words from him has meant the world to me. That is all I have ever heard from people, doctors and sadly, myself. That I am broken. That there IS something wrong with me. That I am lazy. I have heard it for so long that I have sat here believing it. Thank you so much for this video @steakandbuttergal and thank you Dr Berry.....I promise I will push through it all...one steak at a time
Keep believing in yourself that you can get healthy one day at a time eating carnivore. My husband and I have been eating ketovore , leaning more towards carnivore lately for over a year now and both have lost over 40 pounds. We are both 70+ years old. We tried Weight Watchers and very low fat, SAD for years, lost weight but found it again 😂. We are feeling great and look better now than 20 years ago. Try to get better sleep and decrease outside stress, build up your muscle strength and eat as Dr Berry suggests and you will feel better soon. Good luck on your journey one day at a time.
I too had the same reaction to Dr Berry's word's.. Someone finally saying words of blessings instead of condemnation.. That lifted a great burden off my mind.. Glad to see someone else heard that too ❤❤
I also started on 5th of January 2024! So far, my blood sugar dropped from 280s,310s to 80s!!!!!!!!!!! lost couple pounds I was 230 now 202!!!!!! unbelievable it's been just 19 days. I feel more energetic during the day and many other changes that I am in shock 🫨
I started 1 year ago on Jan 1 and I am almost 100% carnivore. My blood pressure is down and my cravings are gone. It took a while for me but videos like these are my cheerleaders.
I started carnivore November of last year, so about 3 months ago. I was 250 lbs @ 5’4” tall, not good. I’m down to 207lbs today, I stopped taking my high bp meds, and have stopped using the CPAP machine I’ve been on for a few years. This diet has changed my life.
I love the way you conduct interviews. You ask a question and then let the guest answer. You don't interrupt and respectfully wait until the question is answered and it is time for another question. That is a rare quality that the rest of us should acquire.
Excellent comment. There is a scene in Crouching tiger, hidden dragon, the Emperor discussing the Green Destiny. Exemplary example of tactful discussion.
I have been ravenously hungry for decades. Out of sheer desperation, I started carnivore 3 days ago. Not a smidgen of hunger. Such a relief! I am so happy to NOT have that constant, gnawing hunger❤
same! and most other people I talk to don't get it. they say well just stop eating. For many people, they simply don't have much desire to eat after a moderate amount of food. So when I say that every meal that I eat I only stop once my stomach physically can't fit anymore. The fact that my bodyweight capped out around 220 lbs at 6ft tall after years of eating this way, and drinking alcohol leads to people thinking I DON'T have a problem, since while overweight, I'm not morbidly obese and I do have visible muscle. But this isn't normal. It's certainly not healthy. I'm happy to be carnivore.
Same for me, would just eat and eat even though I was full. It's so sad, the food can't fill the void. I will say that I'm in therapy and have been for a year. I'm 12 days carnivore and I don't crave food, sweets, carbs which I thought would be impossible. I'm loving it. I want to heal some inflammation as well as lose about 60 more lbs. Best wishes to yall. Keep at it
I'm 75 and carnivore for over two years. I have to force myself to eat twice a day. If I don't I will only eat once a day and become too skinny. In the beginning before I lost so much weight I would do 4 day fasts. At that time my keton blood test was 5.3 now it is only 1.5. I had to stop running because it also makes me lose weight. On the positive side my arthritis is gone and my mental clarity is excellent. 😊
@@marshmallow3023 Thanks for the suggestion. When I eat dairy my arthritis comes back. I will try some hard cheese like cheddar but milk which I love is not good for my arthritis.
I’ve been on carnivore about a month and a half. I have to say that it’s the best decision I’ve ever made as far as my health. I’m down almost 25 pounds, my sugar level is down, and I’m feeling great. Dr. Berry and Steak and Butter Gal, thank you both for the great video. 🙂
I eat four reasonably-sized carnivore meals ... a week! My meal times are 1:00 p.m. Sunday, 1:00 p.m Tuesday, 1:00 p.m Thursday and 1:00 p.m Saturday. Every week. No exceptions. I never feel hunger and on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I start the day with half a pint (10 fl oz) of water (with a quarter of a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda and a tablespoonful of apple cider vinegar). This is then washed down, a little later, with a pint (20 fl oz) of water. Two large mugs of unsweetened tea at 11:00 a.m., a large unsweetened cappuccino at 1:00 p.m., and another at 4:00 p.m., finally another pint of water at 6:00 p.m. That is all. I am losing weight. Sleeping like a log. Have no brain fog. I feel physically stronger and mentally more alert. At 72 years of age I haven't felt this good since my mid-20s. If the natives living in the Amazonian rainforest can thrive on eating every other day, then why can't I?
Drinking baking soda and apple cider vinegar together is not a good idea. It is better to make a break between them: alternate: soda in the morning, vinegar in the evening. Take turns.
@@backtoasimplelife A tiny quarter of a teaspoonful of bicarb gives your system a necessary sodium boost yet is insufficient to affect the full tablespoonful of vinegar. It does take the edge off it though.
I drank 12 beers in one day a week. I buzzed after 3, couldn’t figure why I had to keep going. (Till I passed out). When I was younger, 3, 4 times a week the same way. I must be an alcoholic. Was able to quit thru AVRT training. It was still hard to get that physical feeling out of me to loose the beer urge. Got on the carnivore lifestyle with fasting now and then. The beer urge left me finally. The light bulb went on. It’s the friggin carbs in the beer that kept me wanting more. Thanks Dr, Berry and Steak/ butter gal. You finally answered my lifelong question; why can’t I quit drinking like a drunk, and eating like a pig. You and Bella are heroes!
I’ve been strict carnivore (for the most part) since March ‘23. Went into this as my last resort before giving up and saying “the hell with any hope of losing weight”. I was surprised at the other benefits that being carnivore brought about. Although I have lost 30+ lbs, I no longer have indigestion, bloating, the feeling of hunger, the wasted food in the fridge that goes bad, the mental drain thinking about food, no more cravings, better skin… I could go on with the side benefits, making the weight loss a secondary benefit. To anyone reading this, if you start this, make it you way of life, when you go off, you will regret having done so as I did. Not worth it.
I've been carnivore for the last 60 days. Have lost 30LBS!!!! No exercise just eating and fasting. This is awesome. Will start incorporating some calisthenics to keep from not losing weight. I'm 48yrs old started out looking to drop my BP and ended up being a healthier than that. Thanks Dr. Berry and Steak and butter gal.
@@angelofmery21 In the first two weeks I ate twice a day. Now I only eat once at noon. A few times I went 48 hrs. I might do 48 at least once a week now that I’m getting pretty close to my goal weight
It is true that you need to be consistent, patient, and also stick your resolve to stay with this woe! It REALLY does work!! I've been ketovore since 2015 and all the people who said I would die from eating all that protein and fat are not saying one word to me today! LOL!!! I went from 197 lbs. to 130 in just 5 months! no more RA, no more migraines, no more gout, no more brain fog, i have energy to spare!!! at 56 years old, i feel and look better than I did when I was in my 20's!!! i still work with many of the people who told me I would fail/die and they also told me I wouldn't be able to maintain it! Well, I'm the one having the last laugh as I am maintaining my eating habit, i'm maintaining my weight at 125 to 130 lbs. to this day, and have even started lifting weights 😁 a few people have asked me to help them and I direct them to SBG and Dr. Ken Berry and Thomas Delauer and tell them to watch, make notes, research and then just implement all the lessons they learned from ya'll 😊
I'd have to lose it all in a couple months because I'm gaining weight. Not an ounce lost in 35 days. Which means by your results I'd lose 45 pounds in 4 months.
I'm Asian so none of my people compliment me (they only comment on weight gain) but I see them looking at my face then down at my flat stomach. It's so satisfying to shut them up.
I think of carbs as a box of matches; you need to keep striking a match constantly to keep the fire going while fats are like an oil latern and only needs to be lit once and it stays lit all day.
40 days in. Only hungry during feeding time… I can go all day working in my doctors office with regular doughnuts, chocolates, “apple fritter Fridays”, and gifts of lunch from the pharmaceutical companies… and not bat an eyelash! The true tests are Sundays when I am alone doing clinic and all the leftovers treats are just sitting there in our kitchen… just me and untold riches of treats (our MOAs even have a secret stress relief stash that they let me raid). Not even the slightest desire!! 2 months ago I was so frustrated that I could not stop bingeing on the treats. Now? So different!
For people who have alot of weight to lose, this is SO important! You cannot combine fats with carbohydrates! Once you fix this- the weight loss WILL happen! You can't say,"I'm 'mostly' keto, or, I'm 'mostly' carnivore" You will end up gaining SO much weight. It's so clear.
though my carbs are super clean non gluten and stevia substitutes I am maintaining not burning…starting beef only seems like a mind block, I just don’t know why…
@@yawbear Sweeteners, even stevia are a trap, try to ween yourself off the sweet taste, and the sweet mindset, it is hard at first but sooo worth it....now when I use heavy cream in my coffee it tastes sweet😅
I’m in week 5 of carnivore. I lost 10 pounds my first week, and the scale has only gone down another single pound since. I have a substantial amount of excess weight (My starting weight was 266, I’m now 255). I’m worried that this won’t work for me. 11 pounds isn’t what worries me - it’s that it really hasn’t gone down at all in 4 weeks. I’m plateauing already? Hat do you make of this? Zero sugar, meat and fat. I’m not snacking, I’m not eating as much, I’m not eating as many hours a day. And other than the first week - nothing.
53yo female one month in carnivore. Previous keto. Current weight 253 lost 25 lbs on keto. Now on carnivore, kept my calories between 1200 and 1400 ...no weight loss in 2 weeks. I upped my calories and "ate till comfortably stuffed" which was around 2300 calories..OMAD. The weight is now coming off! About 70% fat and 30% protein. My body will tell me how much to eat and when I'm full.
@@kimpeterson8090 I’d like to know that too! I know I’m not eating enough fat with my protein. Along with whatever fat is in the meat I eat, I have 1.5 T of Ghee. So I plan on upping ghee
Over 20 years ago I did Atkins for a year and lost around 25 lbs but spent most of my time looking for low carb snacks which mostly ended up being Atkins products and expensive. The weight came back times two when I stopped. Eight months ago, I found myself at 280 lbs and decided to try keto. I’m at 213lbs this morning. I eat meat of some kind with every meal, no grains or processed garbage they call food and the only sweetener I use is a tiny amount of pure, uncut stevia in coffee. I recently had a bilateral subdural hematoma accompanied by a small stroke and I’m recovering well after craniotomy’s on both sides of my head. I credit my survival to God and adopting a healthy diet in time. I’m 68 years old and, though it’s becoming more difficult, still hunt elk and deer in the mountains around my home. Elk and deer fat, by the way, don’t taste good, so I generally fry the meat in butter with onions.
My two favorite diet people just reconfirmed my Ketovore Diet. Ninety days and 25 pounds lighter; I feel great at 75. These two contrasting personalities are great together.
Keto/Carnivore saved me from a lifetime of ED. I still have it. It'll always be lurking in the shadows, but im no longer dangerously thin, i can eat a healthy meal without feeling guilty, and I've never felt stronger 💙
I am SO happy you talked about eating disorders! Almost every other person I've listened to who brought them up says they do Not recommend keto or carnivore to people with eating disorders "because it might make them worse" what?? No. So wrong. I have been in eating disorder "treatment" and everything they tell you is backwards. So a doctor advocating keto--but not for EDs-- is ridiculous. That's telling me i am better off throwing up twice a day. I have been keto for a few months now and after understanding what food does to my body, I am no longer afraid to eat.
Good morning steak and butter gal, I am new to carnivore & I experienced a muscle cramp this morning. What do I need to do to avoid this happening again? Thank you in advance.
@@judith7661, use Redmond's salt, and find good electrolytes to drink until your body adjusts to your new way of eating. I wish you well on your lifestyle journey! After a while, you may need less of electrolytes, just keep it on hand as it works pretty fast.
I use Himalayan salt although I plan to switch to Celtic salt. I began using Redmond salt 9 years ago and still consider it an option. I use Keto Chow electrolytes
For me keto was like black magic. It was even a bit disconserting when I got fat adapted that I got full with so little food, and dont even get hungry for so long. IF and even 48-hours fast have been actually easy. God bless you Dr. Ken, Gal and also Dr. Ekberg and Dr. Berg who also spread the word of what is really a healthy diet. thanks to all of you.
Sorry, but Dr. Berg does not promote a healthy diet… He promotes lots of grains, raw vegetables, etc. There are a lot of things where he is on-point, but not on nutrition.
@@devy32 hello. yes, I relaxed a bit since ~6 months ago. I occasionally eat beans, potato, bread, etc. but I still get most of my calories from fat and protein.
My bp was 160's over 90's on my american diet. On carnivore its 120's over 70's. I was praying for answers because i didnt want to take meds. (I started taking meds because i jad no choice) Then I came across Dr berry's videos. Now I'm off meds and normalized bp. Thanks Dr Berry and butter girl
So glad I never have to count a calorie. At near 69,I run circles around the young kids, am focused, no pain, no psoriasis,and a lump the size of a lemon on the back of my neck has shrunk by 50,%( so many health issues I've been overcoming.. I'd been told I had nodules in my thyroid and haven't had further testing yet) I'm back in my high school clothes! I've got abs! Working my way to healthy longevity
Hello gays! I’m from Russia, and I’m so sorry that this not popular in our country. I’m watching yours video and hoping that some body will translate your video soon. Thank you 🙏
In Russia now people starting to learn about Carnivore… I am also Russian, leave in South Africa since 1995… Have a friend, who has breast cancer, trying to introduce slowly her to this Diet… I am on Carnivore Diet for almost 6 month… healing part is unbelievable… I am 69 years old… And what ever people right about their experiences on this Diet is TRUE…
I don’t like to even be away from home or try to explain myself any more. I just want the simple life of 1-2 meat meals daily. Don’t have to think about grocery shopping. Eat. That’s correct.and fast when I want to. Started keto to carnivore to ketovore since 1/1/21. Started with With Mark Sisson’s book. Weight loss slow, but omg I feel so damn good. And I’m 71. Feel 40. Love to hear both of you. Thank you, thank you!
Bella, when you asked about people who have no clue when they are satiated because of an eating disorder, I couldn't Stop crying... I just had half of a Ribeye with lots of fat and feel over full, nauseated and terrified. .. In my 4th week of carnivore. Dr Berry just said: it's gonna Be terrifying At times... Consistency and patience, and trust your body. Thank you so much!!! 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
I noticed when I started eating a carnivore lifestyle, i couldn't get enough red meat & fat.But I was restricting myself thinking I would get huge before I lost any weight. And went to bed hungry . Struggled with a bit if depression & my brain fog wasn't getting better, possibly worse. So glad to hear this. And this week I am finally eating until I am full. So now I'm not eating more than 2 meals a day. My brain fog is going away & while it's not a lot yet. My clothes are getting loose. 😊 I was really ready to give up but I am now going to stick it out for 3 months, and see how I'm doing. I wish I could find a carnivore friendly doctor in my area of NC.
Dr Berry is right! I started Keto, now Ketovore about 4 years ago along with Intermittent Fasting at least 18 hrs a day,sometimes OMAD. I am almost 72, on no meds. For a few years now, after eating my main meal, I do not think of food, crave anything or have hunger pains. I usually know how much I can eat to be comfortably stuffed but once in awhile will stop eating and save the rest. If I want to eat cake, I will, but only if I want to. I know how to graciously decline. The main thing for me is I don’t eat my emotions. I used to do that alot. Dr Berry is who I learned about Keto. 🙏
totally correct when he says takes a month or 2 to make the brain and gut connection to know when you are full. When i started i just ate when hungry and continued that trend for a month, the out of nowhere i would just start eating once a day.
Just started keto, slowly transitioning to carnivore. No longer have a fatty liver and my blood pressure has dropped 20 points...in just one month. So grateful to all the keto/carnivore leaders out there sharing the real information!!!
I was THERE when Weight Watchers was all the rage. It really was the best choice back then, and based on the American Heart and Diabetic Association guidelines. I lost weight (about 20 lbs back in 1971) like everyone else, but I had to be VERY STRICT and was STARVING ....for years and years, I would give a new diet a go for at time, but always reverted back to WW. Took the Carnivore 30 day challenge about 3 yrs ago, and PRAISE GOD. No more starving, finally satisfied, and healthy as can be at age 68. Great video Bella! Love and appreciate you and Dr. Berry!
Weight Watchers, yes, I remember having to weigh myself each meeting. Did really well while engaged in that community then put it all back on once getting to my goal. My story is not alone.
Last year I decided to go carnivore. Lost weight, felt great. I went back to my sad diet and gained some weight back and started to feel like crap, always hungry. I decided to go back to carnivore as I remembered, I felt great, I was not hungry.
Very good interview, Bella let him speaks and doesn’t interrupt, which is very rare those days 😆 I hate to calculate macros, but I’m always wondering if my fat/protein ratio is good..
Isn’t it true!! I hate when people ask others on just to speak over them and interrupt and such. I watched Dr B on a gals video a while back in which she let him speak for a few seconds and then went on and on about herself while he was sitting there with a blank look. That girl did the same to Dr Cywes.
68 lbs since Thanksgiving. 6 months and 1 week. I allow myself 5 to 7 carbs a day. Lots of beef, bacon, eggs. And I've even allowed myself my morning coffee as a daily cheat.
I'm in keto diet now, even through I feel better and I've lost weight; I stilk have stomach problems and I realized that vegetables and salads make me sick. After I watched about " plants are trying to kills us" and everything about oxalates and toxins, I'm changing my diet and avoid plants and eating more proteíns and fat. Thanks so much for your experience and wisdom about nutrition.
I have been eating only meats and a little dairy, my downfall is beer, got to have my beer!, and I still went from 225 to 195 n the last 45 days! I heal faster, have a better memory and way more energy! And your right about people thinking your crazy for not eating vegetables, I just don't tell them anymore unless I really care for them! Thank you both for putting me on the right track!
Oh my gosh Scott....you sound just like me about the 🍺. -It goes so well with a steak or burger. Haha! But in all sincerity, it has been a bit of a roadblock to me/for me, for completely committing to beginning a Carnivore Committment. -And then I read your success here, even with the beer included! That is pure awesome & good for you! -I am ready right now as it stands, to at least give that golden glass up until next summer, as a huge committment, so I’m almost ready...just a camping trip away from the committment. I am very excited to do that, even though I don’t know if I can honestly say next summer “Nope. Not having it” or “I’ve decided to never have a mug of beer for the rest of my life.” And you know what? Maybe I won’t have to be so all or nothing by that time anyway. ❤️ But for now...I somehow am truly ready to at least ditch the craft beer (the only kind I love) until next summer. :) TY for you sharing this!
I never thought I would be able to completely give up alcohol. I would have a drink every night and looked forward to it. After 2 years on keto, I never crave alcohol. I don't miss it at all. It just takes time.
Nice job, congrats! For me it was whiskey but I eventually gave it up. Still have some in the house and may use it for cooking in the future if the mood strikes. I also dropped vegetables; and nuts, keto flowers; fiber specifically, as I think even a little fiber was messing with me - this was my reason for going almost all in on Carnivore. I'm still technically Ketovore, but heavy on the Carnivore side since it's only spices, seasonings and the occasional sweetener I'm coloring outside the lines with.
Girl......I have got to say your skin looks amazing! My grandmother would tell me eating greasy fatty food causes acne. I have found that to not be the case!
She did, but.....I have used it without diet change and it helped but didn't do it all. After changing my diet my acne is finally turning a corner at 30yo. 🙄 Also her acne had gotten really bad on vegan.
Kerri, amazing video! Thank you! I've been on carnivore since April. I'm down from 288 to 210 lb. My A1C started around 13 3 today. It's 4.9. my goal was not to lose weight but to reverse my type 2 diabetes. Like Dr. Barry says we all need to be evangelist once the carnivore diet starts to work. I take every opportunity to explain the evils of sugar to everyone who ask. Keep up the great work!
I was a binge eater. I have been on the carnivore diet for only 23 days after being keto and I have lost the urge to binge eat. I am so happy and my grocery bill have gotten a lot lower, lol!
Seeing the two of you in the same video is so amazing I can't Thank the both of you enough ....down from 230+ now at 170 I enjoy a few random meals that are off track just for taste. But the rest of the time Meat EGGS plus Fasting .....TY TY TY
Since starting keto Dec 26, 2022, my weight, to date, has dropped from 355 down to 339.4. Also - 2 diabetes meds I no longer need. I feel I have more energy on this diet and am not as sleepy as I was eating vegetables, bread and cheese and no meat. And I am a type 2 diabetic.
Same for me- it's just the final thing(dairy), I have to remove it from my diet! Even just using the heavy cream in my coffee, is messing me up! & now, I'm discovering that I feel SO much better without drinking coffee at all!! It's a thing, where I've done it almost all of my adult life, that it's never occurred to me, that I don't even really want the coffee at all!😄
@@skylarbix7912 Yes, I have to get coffee out but we are going through the terrible heat wave (summer 2022) and I have very low blood pressure so my 2 coffees are necessary....😁plus it is such a social thing where I live (Spain)....but come fall it's going out💪
@@sykotikmommy Oh, I love kefir but it's not always easy to find a descent product in the supermarket. Either they are fortified with synthetic vitamins or they a low fat and flavored vwith carbs.
@@njsongwriter making kefir at home is soooo simple! You can order grains off Amazon and will have more kefir than you know what to do with in no time.
I found the carnivore diet on my own from loss in faith of the medical system. When I did find these videos it has changed everything for me. I have lost 60 pounds in 4 months with even slight cheeting with keto only on the weekends. I still have 70 pounds to go to be at my ideal weight...I haven't been that light for 30 years. This stuff should be common sence butt isent. We must spread the good news.
I’ve been bulimic for 34 years ( binge-purge and exercise bulimia). I’m a mother of four, just graduated nursing school and am 44 years old. My labs are perfect except thyroid showed 63 recently & they said I have two lateral small thyroid nodules( I believe from adrenal burnout from school & exercise ).Upon researching carnivore diet & thyroid I’ve decided to do carnivore to see if I can cure both bulimia & thyroid. I would love to have someone guide like you or Dr. Berry guide me and document my journey( not looking for compensation) bc I’ve yet to find one study or reference to this way of eating and actual bulimia. Bulimia is a silent killer & most don’t admit they have it. People need actual success stories with bulimia in this space. I would love to contribute. Thank you 🙏🏻
Dr. CWYVES .. THE CARB ADDICTION DOCTOR... uses csrnivor to treat bulimia and anorexia.... check out his videos. It is the crazy American diet that is causing the problem.
Two of my heroes, together! BACK ON KETO post surgery now. Lost my post surgery weight gain and did my first OMAD the other day. Considering joining the carnivore challenge soon.
I was keto for almost 2 years. I never felt quite right. I recently switched to carnivore in February. I now know what it feels like to live! Once I dropped the 15 carbs I was eating on keto, I felt amazing.
When I think about what I used to eat, I am amazed I survived so long. I binged ALL DAY. I was SICK. I am not afraid to fast, it's freeing, I feel free
I love Dr. Berry. Bella, you’re beautiful, and you did an amazing job with this video! Thank you so much for sharing! I’m a grandma, and have definitely benefited from keto, now ketovore, headed to Carnivore. I love this video ❤️❤️❤️
Swamp gal here…. I’ve been watching you ..dr ken .. & about 10 others since recovering from cancer surgery…… June 9 th I started on the carnivore way of life ….. I did really great the 1 st month the weight seam to melt away….& then it stopped … I have had a few nights I have slipped & had an late nite snack out side of my OMAD eating window. My eating window is 3 pm -7mp but I don’t get to bed till 3am& up 9am … My suger had dropped from 299- 140-120now without meds .. My weight loss has stopped !!!!! as of July1st. I’m getting very sad at the weight loss has came to a stand still . I’m very happy with my suger #s . my clothes are fittin differently, I’m pleased. but the weight won’t move ….. I’m gettin very frustrated & am crying while workin out… But I’m sticking to it …. Bcuz I heard you say on this video “ ta give 6 months “ well I plan to make this way of eatin for my future .. I don’t often make comments…. But I also heard you say on this video, that it’s the folks with eattin problems that you wanted to help & well your a cute little tiny gal & it’s had ta take advice from someone as tiny as you are & me being such a huge giant old gal … But I’ve been dieting since in my teens & the only 1 that came close to helpin was Adkins . But what y’all are a sayin makes sense…. Thanks fire what you & dr ken & all the others who’ve got the nerve to get out there & spreadin the truth about “the lies my dr told me “
All who are not losing weight ask 1 - Am I being honest with myself? - if your offended, check this 2- Do I stop eating when full? - had surgery and there is no cue - but there is, look for a small sigh after you have been eating for a few minutes, this indicates you are full even though you don't feel full 3-Not all calories are created or behave the same in your body!! Calories in to calories out is a REAL THING, sedentary people burn minimal calories, but it doesn't matter if you are true with numbers 1&2. As the weight comes off you will start to move more 4- PATIENTS is key
So important to discuss "hunger healing signals"! Thanks!!! Even though I am eating Very low carb Keto, (have had a 45-50 lb weight loss), I still notice the tendency to binge eating. The STOP trigger I came up with is making a cup of tea. Still struggle with the question: am I hungry or am I filling my lonely/sad/depressed/feelings with food. Love this video, excellent!
Such an excellent interview! I’m new to experimenting with the carnivore diet. It’s been very interesting so far. I’m an Ayurvedic Practitioner and am researching the original Ayurvedic texts for support for this approach to health. Still wrapping my mind around it but the results are the the proof. I’m going all in at this point to really see the what happens. Thanks for all the support SBG!
What works for me, in regards to fat intake, is not to limit fat but also no add extra fat of not necessary. So for example, if im cooking a steak or chicken I will add a spoonful of fat (butter, ghee or tallow usually) to my pan. But if im cooking ground beef, I dont add any. Im not out here eating sticks of butter haha. I am down 57kg so far, I still have a way to go but I am feeling physically and mentally a million times better. I think the great thing with carnivore is that although it is "restrictive", there are so many ways to experiment with it and tweak it to get the best results for you x
Zero carbs! Since July 10th I have lost 62 lbs! Another 25 - 26 lbs to go. I have reversed my type 2 diabetes and my doctor has taken me off my meds. Mainly meat, salt, water, and on occassion bacon and eggs as a reward!
I’ve got my diet dialed in (not quite carnivore, I added a bit of fiber to “solidify” things after a month of dealing with that particular carnivore symptom) with the help of videos from you, Dr. Berry, and a few others, and I’m shocked how quickly the weight has been melting off. I’m only hungry when it’s time to eat, have more energy than I know what to do with, and I’ve notice my tastes have completely changed to where I don’t even find the junk all that appetizing anymore (a big change compared to previous, unsuccessful attempts that weren’t as well formulated). Thank you both for the wealth of knowledge you share, it’s been a game changer for me.
Same here- I just love vegetables, I think it's okay, but, I keep hearing about 'oxolates'- Do you know what they are? I've inquired before, but I've never had an answer. Let me know if you're aware of about this! Thanks!👍😄
@@skylarbix7912 Dr. Paul Saladino has videos on this. (oxalates) He is on RUclips and Rumble. I think his full slate of offerings is also on podcasts (such as Apple Podcasts). Warning: he is not a fan of vegetables...but sure does explain stuff thoroughly.
@@writerbyluck Hey, thank you for your reply, &, I will definitely check out Dr. Paul Saladino- I guess I'd describe myself as carnivore, however, it'll be interesting to figure out the 'why' of not having the vegetables I enjoy so much, & what the oxalates actually are!😄
I see Dr. Berry, I click. Love him! I am one of those who can only lose weight with higher protein days thrown in to mix things up. Human variability is fascinating, if not frustrating at times. It took me a few years to figure out the protein advantage.
Ya, she did a great job- alot of people cannot do what she did, she was very informed already, but she listened & allowed Dr. Berry to get his points across- then contributed her own knowledge. I think it's a great video too!
I have Dr Berrys book on audio. I have been carnivore since February and just recently had month of bad eating. Now told my cholesterol is up. The Dr wanted to put me on a statin and i remembered Dr Berrys comments so proudly told the Dr Nope. Scared me back onto a proper human diet. I have 1 month to sort it out. I can do this ❤😊
72 hour fasts per week made me feel like I didn't want to eat, because I felt like fasting made me feel better. I started to develop some issues with real food (carnivore), Now, I eat OMAD and I am fine.
Your content is so good, Bella! Plus, you’re an incredible artist! I try and watch and share your channel as much as possible because you’re very credible.
So true! I’ve been a compulsive overeater for years. Now brand new to carnivore, just days in I’m no longer wanting to compulsively over eat. I’ve made a decision to heal my body and not feel like crap any longer. ODAT… thank you both for your service and support
Thanks Bella. Dr. Berry is my #1 life savior. You are quickly moving up my list! I love the expression "just let go". I look back and realize that is exactly what I did when reaching a health bottom. I just never thought about putting it into words. Keep on keeping me motivated! Thanks again.
for a long while before i switched over onto carnivore i was starting fasting regimen i was working out and failing to gain muscle mass. i was actually going very low protein and my weight was plateaued. food was on my mind and i was always daydreaming about when i would get to eat next and what it would be. its such a relief now on carnivore i dont have food constantly on my mind. im just not hungry i am really and truly nourished uncomplicatedly. i think i am somebody who doesnt take plant toxins well at all. i am progressing on full body healing. personally i think in combination with fasting and carnivore you can get your head back in check about what it feels like to have a full stomach. (coming from me a person who would eat when bored emotional eating plate clearer etc)
I get beef fat for 99 cents@lb. From my butcher. What a blessing. Pop some in the air fryer for 7 minutes at 400 and whoa nelly! Love this way of life. I'm 66 and look 45!
I subscribed to both of them. Totally awesome content. I have been losing weight effortlessly by following their advice. I saw SBG eating boiled eggs and cold butter, I tried it and it works awesome, I could eat that and not be hungry the rest of the day. If you cut out the carbs and just eat carnivore, you will lose weight. You can eat as much as you want. You will not be very hungry on it anyway. That butter is strange to eat at first, but really makes you feel good and full. God bless both of you!
I’ve been carnivore since Feb 2022. Im 79 now. At first the arthritis pain went away and in general feel better. I’m 4’11” tall. Weigh 141. I used to be 5’2”. Cannot seem to lose weight and I’m very frustrated by that. I’ve never been more than 50# overweight in my life. I’ve been diagnosed with leaky gut. Digestive issues cause me to not sleep well. I take BP meds. I’m not ready to give that up. My husband is 84 and we eat out a lot. He feels like he’s doing me a favor to not have to cook. Sometimes that’s nice but it’s more difficult I know even tho I give specific instructions about how to cook my meat. Now, my knees are bone-on bone and I’m considering knee replacement so I can walk better. But want my health in a good place to get approved for surgery.
I’m on day 3 of my carnivore journey. I struggle with not tasting the food I cook for my family to make sure it tastes right but other than that I haven’t wanted anything sweet or bread. I do miss salads though! I love salad and could eat one every day. Soda is my weakness and I’m gradually going to wean myself off it and start with sparkling water instead. All this info is so helpful and I appreciate all the advice everyone has!
The only diet plan I ever used that worked was nutrisystem, but it's a low glycemic plan. I've been eating carnivore for a week now (plus eggs, cheese, avocado and green olives) and am already losing weight. I am 53 and never been really fat, but 178 is where I feel the best. Currently 188, 5' 10".
Hi Bella, thank you for all your amazing work in the carnivore community! I am on carnivore since February 2023 and never felt better. Btw I am a classical singer (I admire classical instrumentalists, like yourself, I am too lazy to practice so much! ;)) and pleased to say that sustained ketosis didn't dry out my throat, which was one of my concerns about the lifestyle, though there was an adjustment period, but my throat is sufficiently hydrated by now. Just wanted to share some tips about emotional eating. Long before I even considered carnivore, I read the book by Geneen Roth: "Women, food and and God", that shed light on the emotional aspects of eating, and of course it applies to men the same way. Geneen suggests techniques to develop mindful awareness of our eating habits, discovering the connection between emotionality and eating. Is it a reward mechanism? Are we making up for stress or trying to substitute love, care and joy with food? You might find it useful to research her work and her methods. Knowing her work helped me to stop emotional snacking (even though I was already on keto), and made intermittent fasting much easier. Proper nutrition is amazing, and if you couple it with emotional awareness and mindfulness tools, you can work wonders as a coach by supporting your clients to heal holistically. Body, mind and spirit are one unit :).
I probably need to up my fat. I’ve stalled for the last two weeks. However, my body is still changing. During the last two weeks my waist has gone down 4”. I’ve been doing this for 7 weeks. I’m 59. I used to could scratch my arm and white lines would appear. Now nothing. My skin is so nourished and moisturized. I can’t wait to see what changes will happen in the future.

Thanks Bella!!! You are doing great work, keep it up!
Thank YOU, Dr. Berry!!! 🙌😍!!
Ken, I found you a few months ago and now YOU are MY teacher. I'm pretty picky about who I listen to, since I taught biology, chemistry and geoscience for 20 years. YOU made me understand and NOT FEAR my blood lab results. Now I need to sell my doctor. I'm down lots of lbs (about 100), of which most was recent, now that I've learned more about better eating. LOVE THE BRAIN BUZZ.
How about ppl who no longer have thyroids or have had their thyroid partially burned.
You are beautiful Bella! I'm jalous of your boyfriend!😘
Ken, your message at the end was POWERFUL.
I just wanted to share my experience so far with the Carno diet. First it has only been 24, 25 days since I started. I will be 61 in Nov. I accidently found Dr. Berry while goofing around on RUclips. I was hooked and a week later started Carnivore. I am 5'7" was 290 lbs, mother of 4 grown children, and 7 grandkids. I did not have weight problems until I had my last child at 30 yrs old. I stayed around 190 lbs to 200 lbs after she was born for 20 years. My husband died of cancer in 2011 and within 6 years I gained 60 lbs. Then I quit smoking and gained another 35 lbs. So I thought weight loss surgery was my only hope. Then the Pandemic hit. I now was type 2 diabetic, had severe peripheral neuropathy in my feet. It became so bad I could only stand about 15 min. and walk 5 blocks. I also have fibromyalgia and gout. Fatty liver as well. Arthritis in both knees and spondylitis in my neck. And plaque in right artery. Oh I forgot I had severe Gerds and psoriasis. So what has this way of eating done for me in less than a month? About 10 to 15 lb weight loss, Gerds is gone, I can now kneel on floor and get up without help. I was unable to do this for the last 5 years, psoriasis is almost gone , my skin is soft, I walked a mile the other day, I eat once a day and have fasted for 47 hours. Couldn't quite make it the 48 hrs. I have not had one carb pass my lips and all sugar cravings are gone. I was a sugaraholic. I will see my Doc this Thursday and will Tell her what I am doing. I am hoping she will be supportive. I am so excited about my future. I know that God directed me to Dr. Berry's video. I have never felt better.
Yes ma'am..I'm t2d..extra low carb..sugars still high.. carnivore for about a week..keto for about 2 months before carnivore..just frustrating
but keeping on.. congratulations to you💚
God bless you
Dana, your testimony was what I needed to hear today. God bless you and thanks for sharing. My eyes filled up as I read your experience, which reminded me why I am on this path in the first place.
A few years ago, severe RA and Type 2 diabetes ruined my life as I knew it but put me on the right track for the rest of my life. Mostly ketovore these days and getting closer to full carnivore. Healing is possible and I thank people like Dr. Berry and Bella so much.
I had A1c of 10.1 Feb 2019. I started keto. I got off the meds they gave me in 4 weeks. Fatty liver went bye bye. I went mostly carnivore in mid 2020 to fight kidney stone formation because I'd been making them since 2001. So far so good there.
Good we found this way. I have a list of about 20 some people I listen to on this way of eating and the biochemistry behind it.
This MY story exactly. At age 62 and 3 months in, I already feel 20 yrs younger. BG down from high 200's to avg of 120. Down 34 lbs without ever being hungry!! Mostly OMAD. It's truly amazing. I will never eat sugar again and do not crave that or carbs.
i lost 55 lbs...at age 70! And reversed 20 yrs of type 2 diabetes in 3 months...from A1c of 7 to 4.9!
How long did it take you to?
Wow! You inspire me. I am 65.
Congrats!! Fantastic. Very happy for you and I love reading everyone’s comments. It really helps! I’m 70. Just began (almost 1 week complete ) Already seeing results. I don’t have a lot of weight to lose. Years back I lost 45lbs on keto. I was convinced to do a plant based diet. Inflammation was out of control. I was very depressed. I was going through a failed relationship and dealing with heartbreak. I could barely get out of bed. In 5 short days, the depressed fog has lifted. I feel very good and looking forward to reversing the type 2 diabetes diagnosis I received last Feb. Thank God for Dr Barry. His willingness to share all he knows is a blessing particularly since we can’t trust mainstream medicine anymore.
I am a cancer survivor and Coincidentally enough they advised to keep meat to a minimal. Now In my opinion it's because they want you to stay sick. That is why they recommend heavy veg diet. I am now convinced that keto/carnivore = health. I feel so much better.
I’m constantly reminded of the pervasive mediocrity and docile yet dangerous groupthink in the medical community. I have very little faith in it. Best advice is to “be your own doctor”: use your God-given critical thinking and access to information to do your own research. You know your body better than anyone.
Seems like doctors are still following old school teachings and not progressing to the current medical research.
It's not malicious: they just don't know.
I am a two time breast cancer survivor and 65 years old. I have been cut from surgery, burned by radiation, and poisoned by chemo. In all this time (20+ years of treatments) not one doctor talked to me about nutrition or what I was consuming. I’m currently eating a ketogenic diet and beginning my own research in order to heal and keep living. My best to you.
You would be correct!
I am 83. Have had high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes for 25 years. Also overweight. Started carnovoir 3/22/24. Today is 5/15/24. No more diabetes, no more high blood pressure. Lost 8 lbs. No more meds. No more SAD.
We’re you on bp meds.
That's incredible! Thanks for sharing
Awesome 🎉
This is why the government in cahoots when big Pharma developed the Food Pyramid LIE! Healthy people aren't profitable!
My dad is on Diabetic meds and insulin and cholesterol not sure how to transition to Carnivire along with necicibe doses He also has Crohns
My daughter who is 14 has had serious eczema her whole life. She decided to follow my Carnivore diet. After one month the eczema improved allot but not completely gone. She showed me Bella's video about eczema. In that video Bella said that chicken and pork are high in histamine which is not good for eczema. For the last few days my daughter has only eaten salmon and beef. It is early days but it looks like the eczema is almost gone. Thank you Bella for the great advice.
Updates?
Thank you for having written this comment as it is helping me too! 👍🏼🤗🌹
Excellent well done! My husband had psoriasis and 3 years ago went ketovore and it virtually cleared up but would have the occasional flare up. This past year he has also incorporated the Wim Hoff breathing technique and now has no flare ups. Just in case you are interested in getting rid of extra inflammation.
That explains a lot. I’ve had chicken and bacon recently and noticed my asthma is starting to act up again. I’m going to cut them out again and see the difference. I prefer beef anyway.
Wonderful I am sharing this info...so happy for your daughter!😃
Oh my...those final words from Dr Berry "you are not broken" just reduced me to tears. I am crying my eyes out here. I started Carnivore on January 1 2024 and to hear those words from him has meant the world to me. That is all I have ever heard from people, doctors and sadly, myself. That I am broken. That there IS something wrong with me. That I am lazy. I have heard it for so long that I have sat here believing it. Thank you so much for this video @steakandbuttergal and thank you Dr Berry.....I promise I will push through it all...one steak at a time
Keep believing in yourself that you can get healthy one day at a time eating carnivore. My husband and I have been eating ketovore , leaning more towards carnivore lately for over a year now and both have lost over 40 pounds. We are both 70+ years old. We tried Weight Watchers and very low fat, SAD for years, lost weight but found it again 😂. We are feeling great and look better now than 20 years ago. Try to get better sleep and decrease outside stress, build up your muscle strength and eat as Dr Berry suggests and you will feel better soon. Good luck on your journey one day at a time.
I too had the same reaction to Dr Berry's word's.. Someone finally saying words of blessings instead of condemnation..
That lifted a great burden off my mind..
Glad to see someone else heard that too ❤❤
I also started on 5th of January 2024!
So far, my blood sugar dropped from 280s,310s to 80s!!!!!!!!!!! lost couple pounds I was 230 now 202!!!!!!
unbelievable it's been just 19 days. I feel more energetic during the day and many other changes that I am in shock 🫨
@@hndsmby206 That's awesome..
Good for you 😊
I started 1 year ago on Jan 1 and I am almost 100% carnivore. My blood pressure is down and my cravings are gone. It took a while for me but videos like these are my cheerleaders.
I started carnivore November of last year, so about 3 months ago. I was 250 lbs @ 5’4” tall, not good. I’m down to 207lbs today, I stopped taking my high bp meds, and have stopped using the CPAP machine I’ve been on for a few years. This diet has changed my life.
🙏💜
❤👍🙏
What does a day of eating look like for you?
Way to go!!
I love the way you conduct interviews. You ask a question and then let the guest answer. You don't interrupt and respectfully wait until the question is answered and it is time for another question. That is a rare quality that the rest of us should acquire.
🎯 💯
Thanks for your videos, it safe my life.
Excellent comment. There is a scene in Crouching tiger, hidden dragon, the Emperor discussing the Green Destiny. Exemplary example of tactful discussion.
Yes! Thank you for pointing that out .
This was an amazing interview. Very helpful and informative.
I have been ravenously hungry for decades. Out of sheer desperation, I started carnivore 3 days ago. Not a smidgen of hunger. Such a relief! I am so happy to NOT have that constant, gnawing hunger❤
Me too!! I'm so glad you shared this. I'm going to give this a try!
same! and most other people I talk to don't get it. they say well just stop eating. For many people, they simply don't have much desire to eat after a moderate amount of food. So when I say that every meal that I eat I only stop once my stomach physically can't fit anymore. The fact that my bodyweight capped out around 220 lbs at 6ft tall after years of eating this way, and drinking alcohol leads to people thinking I DON'T have a problem, since while overweight, I'm not morbidly obese and I do have visible muscle. But this isn't normal. It's certainly not healthy. I'm happy to be carnivore.
My sister and I both agreed we’d lost our cut off switch. It’s pretty scary when u know you can just eat and eat.
Same for me, would just eat and eat even though I was full. It's so sad, the food can't fill the void. I will say that I'm in therapy and have been for a year. I'm 12 days carnivore and I don't crave food, sweets, carbs which I thought would be impossible. I'm loving it. I want to heal some inflammation as well as lose about 60 more lbs. Best wishes to yall. Keep at it
That was me after 3days no more hunger 🙌🏿
I'm 75 and carnivore for over two years. I have to force myself to eat twice a day. If I don't I will only eat once a day and become too skinny. In the beginning before I lost so much weight I would do 4 day fasts. At that time my keton blood test was 5.3 now it is only 1.5. I had to stop running because it also makes me lose weight. On the positive side my arthritis is gone and my mental clarity is excellent. 😊
try to add some dairy products according to your meets to mantain weight. hope that helps.
@@marshmallow3023 Thanks for the suggestion. When I eat dairy my arthritis comes back. I will try some hard cheese like cheddar but milk which I love is not good for my arthritis.
@@mikewalton7615 mike curious about the severity of arthritis and recovery. 🙏
@@mikewalton7615
Yeah, dairy is generally NOT a good idea- I know it's delicious, but horrible for arthritis!
More ounces of meat; enough to maintain your weight.
I’ve been on carnivore about a month and a half. I have to say that it’s the best decision I’ve ever made as far as my health. I’m down almost 25 pounds, my sugar level is down, and I’m feeling great. Dr. Berry and Steak and Butter Gal, thank you both for the great video. 🙂
I eat four reasonably-sized carnivore meals ... a week! My meal times are 1:00 p.m. Sunday, 1:00 p.m Tuesday, 1:00 p.m Thursday and 1:00 p.m Saturday. Every week. No exceptions. I never feel hunger and on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I start the day with half a pint (10 fl oz) of water (with a quarter of a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda and a tablespoonful of apple cider vinegar). This is then washed down, a little later, with a pint (20 fl oz) of water. Two large mugs of unsweetened tea at 11:00 a.m., a large unsweetened cappuccino at 1:00 p.m., and another at 4:00 p.m., finally another pint of water at 6:00 p.m. That is all. I am losing weight. Sleeping like a log. Have no brain fog. I feel physically stronger and mentally more alert. At 72 years of age I haven't felt this good since my mid-20s. If the natives living in the Amazonian rainforest can thrive on eating every other day, then why can't I?
Watch the tea for oxalates.
Drinking baking soda and apple cider vinegar together is not a good idea. It is better to make a break between them: alternate: soda in the morning, vinegar in the evening. Take turns.
What's the purpose of combining baking soda and vinegar?
Sounds ridiculous actually 😂
@@backtoasimplelife A tiny quarter of a teaspoonful of bicarb gives your system a necessary sodium boost yet is insufficient to affect the full tablespoonful of vinegar. It does take the edge off it though.
Bella's skin is so gorgeous, you'd never imagine how bad her acne was before carnivore. Love you both! Love your content! Thanks and blessings! ❤️
“You are not a failure. The calorie restricted diet you followed was a failure.” ❤️🙏🏽
I drank 12 beers in one day a week. I buzzed after 3, couldn’t figure why I had to keep going. (Till I passed out). When I was younger, 3, 4 times a week the same way. I must be an alcoholic. Was able to quit thru AVRT training. It was still hard to get that physical feeling out of me to loose the beer urge. Got on the carnivore lifestyle with fasting now and then. The beer urge left me finally. The light bulb went on. It’s the friggin carbs in the beer that kept me wanting more. Thanks Dr, Berry and Steak/ butter gal. You finally answered my lifelong question; why can’t I quit drinking like a drunk, and eating like a pig. You and Bella are heroes!
I’ve been strict carnivore (for the most part) since March ‘23. Went into this as my last resort before giving up and saying “the hell with any hope of losing weight”. I was surprised at the other benefits that being carnivore brought about. Although I have lost 30+ lbs, I no longer have indigestion, bloating, the feeling of hunger, the wasted food in the fridge that goes bad, the mental drain thinking about food, no more cravings, better skin… I could go on with the side benefits, making the weight loss a secondary benefit. To anyone reading this, if you start this, make it you way of life, when you go off, you will regret having done so as I did. Not worth it.
I've been carnivore for the last 60 days. Have lost 30LBS!!!! No exercise just eating and fasting. This is awesome. Will start incorporating some calisthenics to keep from not losing weight. I'm 48yrs old started out looking to drop my BP and ended up being a healthier than that.
Thanks Dr. Berry and Steak and butter gal.
Awesome!! How often are you fasting?
@@Veronica-bi4kg daily
What is your fasting window?
@@angelofmery21 In the first two weeks I ate twice a day. Now I only eat once at noon. A few times I went 48 hrs. I might do 48 at least once a week now that I’m getting pretty close to my goal weight
That’s awesome!! Many congrats!! Looking forward to losing my last 15 lbs!
It is true that you need to be consistent, patient, and also stick your resolve to stay with this woe! It REALLY does work!! I've been ketovore since 2015 and all the people who said I would die from eating all that protein and fat are not saying one word to me today! LOL!!! I went from 197 lbs. to 130 in just 5 months! no more RA, no more migraines, no more gout, no more brain fog, i have energy to spare!!! at 56 years old, i feel and look better than I did when I was in my 20's!!!
i still work with many of the people who told me I would fail/die and they also told me I wouldn't be able to maintain it! Well, I'm the one having the last laugh as I am maintaining my eating habit, i'm maintaining my weight at 125 to 130 lbs. to this day, and have even started lifting weights 😁 a few people have asked me to help them and I direct them to SBG and Dr. Ken Berry and Thomas Delauer and tell them to watch, make notes, research and then just implement all the lessons they learned from ya'll 😊
Great job!! How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? And did you exercise or intermittent fast while losing the weight those 5 months?
I'd have to lose it all in a couple months because I'm gaining weight. Not an ounce lost in 35 days. Which means by your results I'd lose 45 pounds in 4 months.
@@kenschneider2100 Have you implemented intermittent fasting?
Anthony Chaffee MD is awesome, too to direct pthers to view. Congratulations on your success!!!
I'm Asian so none of my people compliment me (they only comment on weight gain) but I see them looking at my face then down at my flat stomach. It's so satisfying to shut them up.
I think of carbs as a box of matches; you need to keep striking a match constantly to keep the fire going while fats are like an oil latern and only needs to be lit once and it stays lit all day.
Like
40 days in. Only hungry during feeding time… I can go all day working in my doctors office with regular doughnuts, chocolates, “apple fritter Fridays”, and gifts of lunch from the pharmaceutical companies… and not bat an eyelash! The true tests are Sundays when I am alone doing clinic and all the leftovers treats are just sitting there in our kitchen… just me and untold riches of treats (our MOAs even have a secret stress relief stash that they let me raid). Not even the slightest desire!!
2 months ago I was so frustrated that I could not stop bingeing on the treats. Now? So different!
Dr. Berry is my most trusted and down to earth common sense doctor on youtube.
For people who have alot of weight to lose, this is SO important! You cannot combine fats with carbohydrates! Once you fix this- the weight loss WILL happen! You can't say,"I'm 'mostly' keto, or, I'm 'mostly' carnivore" You will end up gaining SO much weight. It's so clear.
though my carbs are super clean non gluten and stevia substitutes I am maintaining not burning…starting beef only seems like a mind block, I just don’t know why…
@@yawbear Sweeteners, even stevia are a trap, try to ween yourself off the sweet taste, and the sweet mindset, it is hard at first but sooo worth it....now when I use heavy cream in my coffee it tastes sweet😅
@@yawbear keep in mind that it’s not just beef… It’s ALL other ruminant animals. I wish you the best! God bless!
@Mrs. me too !
I’m in week 5 of carnivore. I lost 10 pounds my first week, and the scale has only gone down another single pound since. I have a substantial amount of excess weight (My starting weight was 266, I’m now 255). I’m worried that this won’t work for me. 11 pounds isn’t what worries me - it’s that it really hasn’t gone down at all in 4 weeks. I’m plateauing already? Hat do you make of this? Zero sugar, meat and fat. I’m not snacking, I’m not eating as much, I’m not eating as many hours a day. And other than the first week - nothing.
"You're not broken..." How I wish I would hear this from my religion or parents, etc but I hear it from DR Berry and I believe him. Thank you!!
Yes 🫶 Everyone needs to hear this.
Me too!
53yo female one month in carnivore. Previous keto. Current weight 253 lost 25 lbs on keto. Now on carnivore, kept my calories between 1200 and 1400 ...no weight loss in 2 weeks. I upped my calories and "ate till comfortably stuffed" which was around 2300 calories..OMAD. The weight is now coming off! About 70% fat and 30% protein. My body will tell me how much to eat and when I'm full.
What do you eat to get the 70/30?
@@kimpeterson8090 I’d like to know that too! I know I’m not eating enough fat with my protein. Along with whatever fat is in the meat I eat, I have 1.5 T of Ghee. So I plan on upping ghee
Over 20 years ago I did Atkins for a year and lost around 25 lbs but spent most of my time looking for low carb snacks which mostly ended up being Atkins products and expensive. The weight came back times two when I stopped. Eight months ago, I found myself at 280 lbs and decided to try keto. I’m at 213lbs this morning. I eat meat of some kind with every meal, no grains or processed garbage they call food and the only sweetener I use is a tiny amount of pure, uncut stevia in coffee. I recently had a bilateral subdural hematoma accompanied by a small stroke and I’m recovering well after craniotomy’s on both sides of my head. I credit my survival to God and adopting a healthy diet in time. I’m 68 years old and, though it’s becoming more difficult, still hunt elk and deer in the mountains around my home. Elk and deer fat, by the way, don’t taste good, so I generally fry the meat in butter with onions.
My two favorite diet people just reconfirmed my Ketovore Diet. Ninety days and 25 pounds lighter; I feel great at 75. These two contrasting personalities are great together.
Keto/Carnivore saved me from a lifetime of ED. I still have it. It'll always be lurking in the shadows, but im no longer dangerously thin, i can eat a healthy meal without feeling guilty, and I've never felt stronger 💙
Thank you for sharing! Keep going. YOU ARE WORTH IT!!❤
I am SO happy you talked about eating disorders! Almost every other person I've listened to who brought them up says they do Not recommend keto or carnivore to people with eating disorders "because it might make them worse" what?? No. So wrong. I have been in eating disorder "treatment" and everything they tell you is backwards. So a doctor advocating keto--but not for EDs-- is ridiculous. That's telling me i am better off throwing up twice a day. I have been keto for a few months now and after understanding what food does to my body, I am no longer afraid to eat.
Good morning steak and butter gal, I am new to carnivore & I experienced a muscle cramp this morning. What do I need to do to avoid this happening again? Thank you in advance.
@@judith7661, use Redmond's salt, and find good electrolytes to drink until your body adjusts to your new way of eating. I wish you well on your lifestyle journey! After a while, you may need less of electrolytes, just keep it on hand as it works pretty fast.
I use Himalayan salt although I plan to switch to Celtic salt. I began using Redmond salt 9 years ago and still consider it an option. I use Keto Chow electrolytes
What would my life be like if I was given a steak and some encouragement in the hospital instead of intravenous feeding of chemical sludge!?!?!
For me keto was like black magic. It was even a bit disconserting when I got fat adapted that I got full with so little food, and dont even get hungry for so long. IF and even 48-hours fast have been actually easy. God bless you Dr. Ken, Gal and also Dr. Ekberg and Dr. Berg who also spread the word of what is really a healthy diet. thanks to all of you.
Sorry, but Dr. Berg does not promote a healthy diet… He promotes lots of grains, raw vegetables, etc. There are a lot of things where he is on-point, but not on nutrition.
Hello, are you still on keto ?
@@devy32 hello. yes, I relaxed a bit since ~6 months ago. I occasionally eat beans, potato, bread, etc. but I still get most of my calories from fat and protein.
@Patty , I've watched many of his videos and never once seen or heard him "promoting grains."
@@BBLUVStheSky I agree. I’ve never heard him promote grains because he’s a huge keto diet supporter.
My bp was 160's over 90's on my american diet. On carnivore its 120's over 70's. I was praying for answers because i didnt want to take meds. (I started taking meds because i jad no choice) Then I came across Dr berry's videos. Now I'm off meds and normalized bp. Thanks Dr Berry and butter girl
So glad I never have to count a calorie. At near 69,I run circles around the young kids, am focused, no pain, no psoriasis,and a lump the size of a lemon on the back of my neck has shrunk by 50,%( so many health issues I've been overcoming.. I'd been told I had nodules in my thyroid and haven't had further testing yet) I'm back in my high school clothes! I've got abs! Working my way to healthy longevity
I'm on day 9. It's literally so easy now. Easy to do, easy to fast, ive NEVER starving.
Ok just started and I'm on day 4. How do you fast??
In just 4 day I no longer have gas or cramps
Hello gays! I’m from Russia, and I’m so sorry that this not popular in our country. I’m watching yours video and hoping that some body will translate your video soon. Thank you 🙏
In Russia now people starting to learn about Carnivore… I am also Russian, leave in South Africa since 1995…
Have a friend, who has breast cancer, trying to introduce slowly her to this Diet…
I am on Carnivore Diet for almost 6 month… healing part is unbelievable… I am 69 years old…
And what ever people right about their experiences on this Diet is TRUE…
2:27 - BOOM! 🤯 YES! Day 118 on Keto-vour/IF and went from 121kg to 97 kg! Brain clear, inflammation histoire, & full belly! 💯💪🐂
I don’t like to even be away from home or try to explain myself any more. I just want the simple life of 1-2 meat meals daily. Don’t have to think about grocery shopping. Eat. That’s correct.and fast when I want to. Started keto to carnivore to ketovore since 1/1/21. Started with With Mark
Sisson’s book. Weight loss slow, but omg I feel so damn good. And I’m 71. Feel 40. Love to hear both of you. Thank you, thank you!
My problem after 1 month continues to be diarrhea. No one here seems to have that problem.
@@cathyweaver1449research Dr. Berry's other videos, I'm sure he covers that.
Bella, when you asked about people who have no clue when they are satiated because of an eating disorder, I couldn't Stop crying... I just had half of a Ribeye with lots of fat and feel over full, nauseated and terrified. .. In my 4th week of carnivore. Dr Berry just said: it's gonna Be terrifying At times... Consistency and patience, and trust your body. Thank you so much!!! 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
I noticed when I started eating a carnivore lifestyle, i couldn't get enough red meat & fat.But I was restricting myself thinking I would get huge before I lost any weight. And went to bed hungry . Struggled with a bit if depression & my brain fog wasn't getting better, possibly worse.
So glad to hear this. And this week I am finally eating until I am full. So now I'm not eating more than 2 meals a day. My brain fog is going away & while it's not a lot yet. My clothes are getting loose. 😊
I was really ready to give up but I am now going to stick it out for 3 months, and see how I'm doing. I wish I could find a carnivore friendly doctor in my area of NC.
Oh man, that piano solo at the end was everything😀.👍🏾
Dr Berry is right! I started Keto, now Ketovore about 4 years ago along with Intermittent Fasting at least 18 hrs a day,sometimes OMAD.
I am almost 72, on no meds. For a few years now, after eating my main meal, I do not think of food, crave anything or have hunger pains. I usually know how much I can eat to be comfortably stuffed but once in awhile will stop eating and save the rest. If I want to eat
cake, I will, but only if I want to. I know how to graciously decline.
The main thing for me is I don’t eat my emotions. I used to do that alot. Dr Berry is who I learned about Keto. 🙏
totally correct when he says takes a month or 2 to make the brain and gut connection to know when you are full. When i started i just ate when hungry and continued that trend for a month, the out of nowhere i would just start eating once a day.
Just started keto, slowly transitioning to carnivore. No longer have a fatty liver and my blood pressure has dropped 20 points...in just one month. So grateful to all the keto/carnivore leaders out there sharing the real information!!!
I was THERE when Weight Watchers was all the rage. It really was the best choice back then, and based on the American Heart and Diabetic Association guidelines. I lost weight (about 20 lbs back in 1971) like everyone else, but I had to be VERY STRICT and was STARVING ....for years and years, I would give a new diet a go for at time, but always reverted back to WW. Took the Carnivore 30 day challenge about 3 yrs ago, and PRAISE GOD. No more starving, finally satisfied, and healthy as can be at age 68. Great video Bella! Love and appreciate you and Dr. Berry!
Based on those American Heart and Diabetic Association guidelines, I am wondering if the first "pandemic" was "released" via a food pyramid?!
Weight Watchers, yes, I remember having to weigh myself each meeting. Did really well while engaged in that community then put it all back on once getting to my goal. My story is not alone.
You're right, it was the only choice beside starving which is now called fasting
Last year I decided to go carnivore. Lost weight, felt great. I went back to my sad diet and gained some weight back and started to feel like crap, always hungry.
I decided to go back to carnivore as I remembered, I felt great, I was not hungry.
Very good interview, Bella let him speaks and doesn’t interrupt, which is very rare those days 😆
I hate to calculate macros, but I’m always wondering if my fat/protein ratio is good..
Isn’t it true!! I hate when people ask others on just to speak over them and interrupt and such. I watched Dr B on a gals video a while back in which she let him speak for a few seconds and then went on and on about herself while he was sitting there with a blank look. That girl did the same to Dr Cywes.
@@PinkieJoJo by Dr. B, who do you mean?
@@coffeehi this guy talking here. Dr. Ken Berry. Dr.B
My fitbit does that for me. I'm sure there are other apps to find your ratio. Its helpful!
68 lbs since Thanksgiving. 6 months and 1 week. I allow myself 5 to 7 carbs a day. Lots of beef, bacon, eggs. And I've even allowed myself my morning coffee as a daily cheat.
I'm in keto diet now, even through I feel better and I've lost weight; I stilk have stomach problems and I realized that vegetables and salads make me sick. After I watched about " plants are trying to kills us" and everything about oxalates and toxins, I'm changing my diet and avoid plants and eating more proteíns and fat. Thanks so much for your experience and wisdom about nutrition.
How is that working for you after 8 months?
Wow I am going to watch to see if it's the vegetable keeping me with stomach problems... I think that what it is the vegetable
Great interview! Dr Berry is so good at hitting ALL of the important points so succinctly. This is such a good summary of the why for keto-carnivore
I have been eating only meats and a little dairy, my downfall is beer, got to have my beer!, and I still went from 225 to 195 n the last 45 days! I heal faster, have a better memory and way more energy! And your right about people thinking your crazy for not eating vegetables, I just don't tell them anymore unless I really care for them! Thank you both for putting me on the right track!
Congratulations 👏 keep eating this way and your taste will change and you will have less and less beer with the time passing
Since working to be carnivore, I've lost my taste for the veggies and some fruits that I used to enjoy.
Oh my gosh Scott....you sound just like me about the 🍺. -It goes so well with a steak or burger. Haha! But in all sincerity, it has been a bit of a roadblock to me/for me, for completely committing to beginning a Carnivore Committment. -And then I read your success here, even with the beer included! That is pure awesome & good for you! -I am ready right now as it stands, to at least give that golden glass up until next summer, as a huge committment, so I’m almost ready...just a camping trip away from the committment. I am very excited to do that, even though I don’t know if I can honestly say next summer “Nope. Not having it” or “I’ve decided to never have a mug of beer for the rest of my life.” And you know what? Maybe I won’t have to be so all or nothing by that time anyway. ❤️ But for now...I somehow am truly ready to at least ditch the craft beer (the only kind I love) until next summer. :) TY for you sharing this!
I never thought I would be able to completely give up alcohol. I would have a drink every night and looked forward to it. After 2 years on keto, I never crave alcohol. I don't miss it at all. It just takes time.
Nice job, congrats! For me it was whiskey but I eventually gave it up. Still have some in the house and may use it for cooking in the future if the mood strikes. I also dropped vegetables; and nuts, keto flowers; fiber specifically, as I think even a little fiber was messing with me - this was my reason for going almost all in on Carnivore. I'm still technically Ketovore, but heavy on the Carnivore side since it's only spices, seasonings and the occasional sweetener I'm coloring outside the lines with.
Girl......I have got to say your skin looks amazing! My grandmother would tell me eating greasy fatty food causes acne. I have found that to not be the case!
I believe she has used tretinoin as well.
Although, yes, good fat makes the skin glow.
She did, but.....I have used it without diet change and it helped but didn't do it all. After changing my diet my acne is finally turning a corner at 30yo. 🙄 Also her acne had gotten really bad on vegan.
@@Shayne_Tso have I… ugh! A full carnivore diet is the only thing that works
Kerri, amazing video! Thank you! I've been on carnivore since April. I'm down from 288 to 210 lb. My A1C started around 13 3 today. It's 4.9. my goal was not to lose weight but to reverse my type 2 diabetes. Like Dr. Barry says we all need to be evangelist once the carnivore diet starts to work. I take every opportunity to explain the evils of sugar to everyone who ask.
Keep up the great work!
Who is Kerri?

Your piano skills are out of this Earth ❤
I was a binge eater. I have been on the carnivore diet for only 23 days after being keto and I have lost the urge to binge eat. I am so happy and my grocery bill have gotten a lot lower, lol!
As an aside after a MOST enlightening video I was doubly blessed to hear u play your piano.
Seeing the two of you in the same video is so amazing I can't Thank the both of you enough ....down from 230+ now at 170 I enjoy a few random meals that are off track just for taste. But the rest of the time Meat EGGS plus Fasting .....TY TY TY
Wow!!! Keep going👍👍
I saw Bella’s video interview with Dr Berry when she went from vegan to Carnivore, she looked good then but she looks marvelous & so healthier now !

So nice to hear the kids in the background!
Her skin is so clear with little to no makeup, proves to me it works.
Dr. is hilarious we haven't evolved to eat cardboard.
Since starting keto Dec 26, 2022, my weight, to date, has dropped from 355 down to 339.4. Also - 2 diabetes meds I no longer need. I feel I have more energy on this diet and am not as sleepy as I was eating vegetables, bread and cheese and no meat. And I am a type 2 diabetic.
I lost 45 lbs thank you both 🥰🥰
Thank you both. I've discovered limiting dairy to mainly butter and occasionally a bit of cheese is important for me.
Same for me- it's just the final thing(dairy), I have to remove it from my diet! Even just using the heavy cream in my coffee, is messing me up! & now, I'm discovering that I feel SO much better without drinking coffee at all!! It's a thing, where I've done it almost all of my adult life, that it's never occurred to me, that I don't even really want the coffee at all!😄

I found the carnivore diet on my own from loss in faith of the medical system. When I did find these videos it has changed everything for me. I have lost 60 pounds in 4 months with even slight cheeting with keto only on the weekends. I still have 70 pounds to go to be at my ideal weight...I haven't been that light for 30 years. This stuff should be common sence butt isent. We must spread the good news.
I’ve been bulimic for 34 years ( binge-purge and exercise bulimia). I’m a mother of four, just graduated nursing school and am 44 years old. My labs are perfect except thyroid showed 63 recently & they said I have two lateral small thyroid nodules( I believe from adrenal burnout from school & exercise ).Upon researching carnivore diet & thyroid I’ve decided to do carnivore to see if I can cure both bulimia & thyroid. I would love to have someone guide like you or Dr. Berry guide me and document my journey( not looking for compensation) bc I’ve yet to find one study or reference to this way of eating and actual bulimia. Bulimia is a silent killer & most don’t admit they have it. People need actual success stories with bulimia in this space. I would love to contribute. Thank you 🙏🏻
Dr. CWYVES .. THE CARB ADDICTION DOCTOR... uses csrnivor to treat bulimia and anorexia.... check out his videos. It is the crazy American diet that is causing the problem.
I got fatter on keto and more thyroid problems. I lost muscle as a vegetarian. So now I’m trying this.
Two of my heroes, together! BACK ON KETO post surgery now. Lost my post surgery weight gain and did my first OMAD the other day. Considering joining the carnivore challenge soon.
I was keto for almost 2 years. I never felt quite right. I recently switched to carnivore in February. I now know what it feels like to live! Once I dropped the 15 carbs I was eating on keto, I felt amazing.
Wow. The end of the video where you're playing the piano, you're amazing!
When I think about what I used to eat, I am amazed I survived so long. I binged ALL DAY. I was SICK. I am not afraid to fast, it's freeing, I feel free
I love Dr. Berry. Bella, you’re beautiful, and you did an amazing job with this video! Thank you so much for sharing! I’m a grandma, and have definitely benefited from keto, now ketovore, headed to Carnivore. I love this video ❤️❤️❤️
Swamp gal here….
I’ve been watching you ..dr ken .. & about 10 others since recovering from cancer surgery……
June 9 th I started on the carnivore way of life …..
I did really great the 1 st month the weight seam to melt away….& then it stopped … I have had a few nights I have slipped & had an late nite snack out side of my OMAD eating window. My eating window is 3 pm -7mp but I don’t get to bed till 3am& up 9am …
My suger had dropped from 299- 140-120now without meds ..
My weight loss has stopped !!!!! as of July1st.
I’m getting very sad at the weight loss has came to a stand still . I’m very happy with my suger #s .
my clothes are fittin differently, I’m pleased. but the weight won’t move ….. I’m gettin very frustrated & am crying while workin out…
But I’m sticking to it …. Bcuz I heard you say on this video “ ta give 6 months “ well I plan to make this way of eatin for my future ..
I don’t often make comments…. But I also heard you say on this video, that it’s the folks with eattin problems that you wanted to help & well your a cute little tiny gal & it’s had ta take advice from someone as tiny as you are & me being such a huge giant old gal …
But I’ve been dieting since in my teens & the only 1 that came close to helpin was Adkins . But what y’all are a sayin makes sense…. Thanks fire what you & dr ken & all the others who’ve got the nerve to get out there & spreadin the truth about “the lies my dr told me “
All who are not losing weight ask
1 - Am I being honest with myself? - if your offended, check this
2- Do I stop eating when full? - had surgery and there is no cue - but there is, look for a small sigh after you have been eating for a few minutes, this indicates you are full even though you don't feel full
3-Not all calories are created or behave the same in your body!! Calories in to calories out is a REAL THING, sedentary people burn minimal calories, but it doesn't matter if you are true with numbers 1&2. As the weight comes off you will start to move more
4- PATIENTS is key
So important to discuss "hunger healing signals"! Thanks!!! Even though I am eating Very low carb Keto, (have had a 45-50 lb weight loss), I still notice the tendency to binge eating. The STOP trigger I came up with is making a cup of tea. Still struggle with the question: am I hungry or am I filling my lonely/sad/depressed/feelings with food. Love this video, excellent!
Nice! What a simple, great idea! & it works. 😄👍
I have noticed similar with tea.
That would be a great video
I do this too!! A nice warm cup of decaf tea is the best right before bed instead of sweets.
You may do better with your carb addiction by switching to carnivore diet. Some people cannot eat any carbs or they are triggered
Simply put, these videos save lives. Thank you.
Yes, this is the video that you wish EVERYONE would listen to!!👍😄
Such an excellent interview! I’m new to experimenting with the carnivore diet. It’s been very interesting so far. I’m an Ayurvedic Practitioner and am researching the original Ayurvedic texts for support for this approach to health. Still wrapping my mind around it but the results are the the proof. I’m going all in at this point to really see the what happens. Thanks for all the support SBG!
What works for me, in regards to fat intake, is not to limit fat but also no add extra fat of not necessary. So for example, if im cooking a steak or chicken I will add a spoonful of fat (butter, ghee or tallow usually) to my pan. But if im cooking ground beef, I dont add any. Im not out here eating sticks of butter haha. I am down 57kg so far, I still have a way to go but I am feeling physically and mentally a million times better. I think the great thing with carnivore is that although it is "restrictive", there are so many ways to experiment with it and tweak it to get the best results for you x
Ghee is clarified/purified butter which is pure fat with no traces of protein
Wow 57kg!!! Awesome!!! May I ask how long it has taken you to lose please?
❤ two of my favourite Carni inspirations. Thank you, interesting and valuable as ever!
Never been here yet, but i subbed. KenDBerrdMD is someone i fully believe in and hes changed and likely saved my life :)
Zero carbs! Since July 10th I have lost 62 lbs! Another 25 - 26 lbs to go. I have reversed my type 2 diabetes and my doctor has taken me off my meds. Mainly meat, salt, water, and on occassion bacon and eggs as a reward!
That's fantastic, good job!!!!!
I’ve got my diet dialed in (not quite carnivore, I added a bit of fiber to “solidify” things after a month of dealing with that particular carnivore symptom) with the help of videos from you, Dr. Berry, and a few others, and I’m shocked how quickly the weight has been melting off. I’m only hungry when it’s time to eat, have more energy than I know what to do with, and I’ve notice my tastes have completely changed to where I don’t even find the junk all that appetizing anymore (a big change compared to previous, unsuccessful attempts that weren’t as well formulated). Thank you both for the wealth of knowledge you share, it’s been a game changer for me.
Been Ketovore for a few years now, and it's only because I love broccoli and cauliflower that is keeping me back from going full Carnivore.
Same here- I just love vegetables, I think it's okay, but, I keep hearing about 'oxolates'- Do you know what they are? I've inquired before, but I've never had an answer. Let me know if you're aware of about this! Thanks!👍😄
@@skylarbix7912 Dr. Paul Saladino has videos on this. (oxalates) He is on RUclips and Rumble. I think his full slate of offerings is also on podcasts (such as Apple Podcasts). Warning: he is not a fan of vegetables...but sure does explain stuff thoroughly.
@@writerbyluck
Hey, thank you for your reply, &, I will definitely check out Dr. Paul Saladino- I guess I'd describe myself as carnivore, however, it'll be interesting to figure out the 'why' of not having the vegetables I enjoy so much, & what the oxalates actually are!😄
@@skylarbix7912 Look up Dr. Sally Norton
She's an expert on oxalates.
You won't even miss it after a while.
I see Dr. Berry, I click. Love him! I am one of those who can only lose weight with higher protein days thrown in to mix things up. Human variability is fascinating, if not frustrating at times. It took me a few years to figure out the protein advantage.
Great interview Bella! You are very respectful and great interviewer.
Thank you Dr. Berry!
Ya, she did a great job- alot of people cannot do what she did, she was very informed already, but she listened & allowed Dr. Berry to get his points across- then contributed her own knowledge. I think it's a great video too!
I have Dr Berrys book on audio.
I have been carnivore since February and just recently had month of bad eating. Now told my cholesterol is up. The Dr wanted to put me on a statin and i remembered Dr Berrys comments so proudly told the Dr Nope.
Scared me back onto a proper human diet. I have 1 month to sort it out.
I can do this ❤😊
Cholesterol is good for you. Keep eating the fat!
72 hour fasts per week made me feel like I didn't want to eat, because I felt like fasting made me feel better. I started to develop some issues with real food (carnivore), Now, I eat OMAD and I am fine.
Excellent, thank you, and please keep playing the piano and inserting segments into these videos , love it !!
Your content is so good, Bella! Plus, you’re an incredible artist! I try and watch and share your channel as much as possible because you’re very credible.
So true! I’ve been a compulsive overeater for years. Now brand new to carnivore, just days in I’m no longer wanting to compulsively over eat. I’ve made a decision to heal my body and not feel like crap any longer. ODAT… thank you both for your service and support
Beautiful start.
Thanks Bella. Dr. Berry is my #1 life savior. You are quickly moving up my list! I love the expression "just let go". I look back and realize that is exactly what I did when reaching a health bottom. I just never thought about putting it into words. Keep on keeping me motivated! Thanks again.
The expression is actually “let go, let God!” And it’s a good one!
You & Dr berry are my favorite channels to watch, this was a great one thanks 😊
i watch Dr. Berry all the time. I love this guy. this was awesome Bella 😉👍
for a long while before i switched over onto carnivore i was starting fasting regimen i was working out and failing to gain muscle mass. i was actually going very low protein and my weight was plateaued. food was on my mind and i was always daydreaming about when i would get to eat next and what it would be. its such a relief now on carnivore i dont have food constantly on my mind. im just not hungry i am really and truly nourished uncomplicatedly. i think i am somebody who doesnt take plant toxins well at all. i am progressing on full body healing. personally i think in combination with fasting and carnivore you can get your head back in check about what it feels like to have a full stomach. (coming from me a person who would eat when bored emotional eating plate clearer etc)
This a POWERFUL message! Thank you both SO much for touching on eating disorders! 👏🏻 ❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️
I get beef fat for 99 cents@lb. From my butcher. What a blessing. Pop some in the air fryer for 7 minutes at 400 and whoa nelly! Love this way of life. I'm 66 and look 45!
I subscribed to both of them. Totally awesome content. I have been losing weight effortlessly by following their advice. I saw SBG eating boiled eggs and cold butter, I tried it and it works awesome, I could eat that and not be hungry the rest of the day. If you cut out the carbs and just eat carnivore, you will lose weight. You can eat as much as you want. You will not be very hungry on it anyway. That butter is strange to eat at first, but really makes you feel good and full. God bless both of you!
I’ve been carnivore since Feb 2022. Im 79 now. At first the arthritis pain went away and in general feel better. I’m 4’11” tall. Weigh 141. I used to be 5’2”. Cannot seem to lose weight and I’m very frustrated by that. I’ve never been more than 50# overweight in my life. I’ve been diagnosed with leaky gut. Digestive issues cause me to not sleep well. I take BP meds. I’m not ready to give that up. My husband is 84 and we eat out a lot. He feels like he’s doing me a favor to not have to cook. Sometimes that’s nice but it’s more difficult I know even tho I give specific instructions about how to cook my meat. Now, my knees are bone-on bone and I’m considering knee replacement so I can walk better. But want my health in a good place to get approved for surgery.
Bella Thanks for your concise and informative posts. This is my first day of a stick of butter a day and I'm feeling good. Thanks for your guidance.
I’m on day 3 of my carnivore journey. I struggle with not tasting the food I cook for my family to make sure it tastes right but other than that I haven’t wanted anything sweet or bread. I do miss salads though! I love salad and could eat one every day. Soda is my weakness and I’m gradually going to wean myself off it and start with sparkling water instead. All this info is so helpful and I appreciate all the advice everyone has!
The only diet plan I ever used that worked was nutrisystem, but it's a low glycemic plan. I've been eating carnivore for a week now (plus eggs, cheese, avocado and green olives) and am already losing weight. I am 53 and never been really fat, but 178 is where I feel the best. Currently 188, 5' 10".
Hi Bella, thank you for all your amazing work in the carnivore community! I am on carnivore since February 2023 and never felt better. Btw I am a classical singer (I admire classical instrumentalists, like yourself, I am too lazy to practice so much! ;)) and pleased to say that sustained ketosis didn't dry out my throat, which was one of my concerns about the lifestyle, though there was an adjustment period, but my throat is sufficiently hydrated by now. Just wanted to share some tips about emotional eating. Long before I even considered carnivore, I read the book by Geneen Roth: "Women, food and and God", that shed light on the emotional aspects of eating, and of course it applies to men the same way. Geneen suggests techniques to develop mindful awareness of our eating habits, discovering the connection between emotionality and eating. Is it a reward mechanism? Are we making up for stress or trying to substitute love, care and joy with food? You might find it useful to research her work and her methods. Knowing her work helped me to stop emotional snacking (even though I was already on keto), and made intermittent fasting much easier. Proper nutrition is amazing, and if you couple it with emotional awareness and mindfulness tools, you can work wonders as a coach by supporting your clients to heal holistically. Body, mind and spirit are one unit :).
I probably need to up my fat. I’ve stalled for the last two weeks. However, my body is still changing. During the last two weeks my waist has gone down 4”. I’ve been doing this for 7 weeks. I’m 59. I used to could scratch my arm and white lines would appear. Now nothing. My skin is so nourished and moisturized. I can’t wait to see what changes will happen in the future.
She eats a stick of butter a day. Hard to wrap my brain round that
