- Here are the answers to so many of your questions about my medical and weight history, what carnivore fixed, and what it didn't. I hope you find this a fascinating story which you can relate to in many ways.

This is why I value Mitch's videos so much and recommend the channel to people...unfortunately probably people who will not be still long enough to benefit from them, if they even bother to listen.
Even so, I really appreciate that
*Carnivore for life, as I always say! 48 soon and feeling like an energetic, driven beast of a man in all the good ways.*
Great to hear, Jeff
"Aphasia, where for two or three minutes I couldn't put words together, can you imagine me not being able to put words together?" A classic Mitch-ism!
Hard to imagine! Happy Carniversary!
LOL indeed
Happy 2 year Carniversary Mitch! 👍🥓🍳👋
Thanks 👍
P.S...Happy anniversary Mitch. I hope you have many many anniversaries ahead of you with the absolute best health and happiness that you can accomplish. Have a blessed day and stay safe.
I appreciate that
I like hearing your story, Mitch. I'm a bit younger than you but still see many parallels between us with food addiction over the majority of our lives. I've said it before, but your statement about how eating in "moderation" is an insidious trap for most carb addicts was one of the most personally profound declarations i have heard regarding eating. I now know that attempting to transition back to a diet with "moderate" amounts of carbs and sweets is a fools errand... at least for me personally. Thank you
That's really great to hear
We been doing carnivore for 3 months in August thanks for sharing
My pleasure, Tina
You must be so proud of yourself Mitch. You’ve been my inspiration for the last 29 days. I love your videos so much! Thank you for all that you do for us 🎉❤🇬🇧
Thank you so much, Lorraine
Way to go Mitch! I learned a lot more about you and your carnivore journey through this video. Thanks!😊
Good to see you tonight, Peter
We almost always only give credit to, or listen to the experts (doctors, scientists, big pharma), but you are an expert Mitch. You have proven all the above that their wrong. Enjoy your carniversary and keep up the good work.
Thank you, Adam, that was very kind of you to say
I am very glad you are on RUclips .. you have given me great words of encouragement and hope in my journey to a better future of feeling great. Thank you again for your videos.
My pleasure
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your story. Love you Mitch. ❤️❤️🥩🥩
Thank you so much!
I must confess the thought that Mitch would be at a loss for words is very hard to believe. He definitely had something wrong!
Congratulations, Mitch! Unfortunately my journey included about a 12 year sidetrack with statins! I finally had to take charge of my own health and have been ketovore for over a year. At 78.5 years old I am 78 pounds lighter, with a waist of 33 inches versus 46 inches. I have gone from taking 9 medications to 3 daily. No longer "considered" diabetic (although I never bought that exaggeration). I have a few medical challenges ahead, but no reason to blame my age for my pains!
That's really great to hear
Happy carniversary 🎉. Today is day 20 of a 30 day refocussing on carnivore. I weighed in and lost 22 lbs in 20 days. I now weigh 482.2
You got this, Tim
Thanks for sharing Mitch. It's good to hear things you experienced on your journey. Congratulations on 2 years and being committed !
Thanks so much!
Congratulations! I am also celebrating my 2 year carniversary this month. I on the other hand had many setbacks during my 2 years. I gave myself cheat days in the beginning. I kept drinking alcohol for most of the first year and just called it dirty carnivore. I have since decided that to feel my best the alcohol had to go as well. I sometimes eat other things that are not considered carnivore, but not with any frequency. Most days and weeks I do not consume anything but meat, eggs, and some dairy. I feel the best when following this practice of intentional eating. I have yet to go and get any blood work done, but I really don't know who I need to prove anything to except myself. I feel better than I can remember feeling in many years. Maybe I will get blood work done just to see someday. Thanks for your testimony Mitch.❤❤❤
Congratulations and thank uyou for being an inspiration to me. I just joined and am looking forward to being inspired by you like no one else has ever done for me before. Bless you, Mitch.
That's very flattering, Irene, thank you
Hi Mitch great video and thanks to you yes a big part, I'm down 98 lbs and 11 months pure carnivore and coffee only just like you. Amazing feeling. Thanks my friend❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
That's really great to hear, thank you
*Just heard the rest of this video, Mitch - so glad you made it here!! WOW. I've ALWAYS been a carb addict, in hindsight, but no more! Also: THANK YOU for saying "get off the scale!" This is tough for me, but I'm learning that the natural weight set point will come with time.*
You can do it!
Congrats, Mitch! Thank you for all that you do! 🙏
My pleasure!
Your are amazing ,Mitch!
Trying hard to have your willpower over food! May God continue to bless you,and make you an inspiration to so many!
Thank you so much!
I seriously enjoy you. But your fridge and kitchen and the Sam’s hauls!!! WOW!! Thank you 🙏😃
I forgot, CONGRATULATIONS 🥳🥳👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are so welcome!
Dog woke me up early, Thunderstorms, I watched your video, and prepped 4# of venison & 1# of bacon to grind for another stab at the 5# meatloaf. Going to see if I can get my fat in this way. I love it in the original recipe, but knew it might be too lean with this. Carnivore makes me crave the taste of meat! Never thought I could do without herbs onions etc. Don’t miss em. Thanks for the words of encouragement & practical info!
It's my pleasure
Hello everyone
Good job! Inspirational I’m six months in and feeling great!

Thank you, Oscar
Big Mitch, lol! We both lost big weight doing this. Brave to post that picture sir!
Congratulations! Awesome!
Thank you!!
Happy Carniversary Mitch & enjoy your reporting tomorrow.
Thank you, I will
Happy second carniversary, sir. May many follow!
Thank you kindly!
Mitch the old carnivore reporter. 😂 I hope you have fun tomorrow. Maybe some corporate reps will be there? Maybe strike up some dialog about sponsorships?
Based on what I saw last year, I really wouldn't be interested in pushing any of their products..... LOL
Please don't become a shill for the food industry
@@OldGuyCarnivore Oh darn, that's unfortunate. I ate a keto penut butter cookie years ago. Tasted like what smelly feet smell like. Never paid attention to keto snacks after that.
Happy Carniversary!! Craniotomy - Yikes! So glad you made it through okay! 🙏
Yes! Thank you!
Keep up the good habits Mich ! 🎉🎉🎉
Always!
Congrats Mitch!!!!!
Thank you
Happy carnniversary!🥩🥓🍗🍖 🎉
Thank you
Mitch, you can never tell your story too many times. Thanks for the refresher! 😊😊
My pleasure
I am very happy with my changes in less than a year Mitch. I went from 220 with high blood pressure etc... to 165 lbs with no high blood pressure and my waist is back to my actual size 32 " instead of the 36 " to 40" that it was. I can actually run again to. I only wish I would of started much sooner. I would love to be in Orlando, however, I am in the middle of the woods and my vehicle broke down and I am in the process of trying to buy another one. I am about to do a David Goggins and walk 25 miles to town one morning soon. This is ridiculous. Narcissistic family loves it. I could be so much happier than this and I will be when I make some changes.
Let me wish you the best of luck, Robbie
such a good video Mitch... have a great time away!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Happy 2 year anniversary on carnivore lifestyle 🎉🎉

Congratulations Mitch … keep on beating those eggs 😉😁
I have to take out my aggression on something..... LOL
Congratulations !! 👏❤🥩
Thank you!!
Congrats! Total agree that fiber is not needed, actually it created a lot of problem for me. Now I am more than 1 year into the carnivore style eating, the issues caused by fiber are gone. I used to take miralax every other day along with a lot of fiber (24gram/day as suggested by doctor…horrible 20+years…). and now, I’m haven’t needed it at all. Couldn’t be happier! Cut the fiber… it’s a lie that we need it.
Absolutely!
2 years. That's great. I see many more. I'm a yr+ 1/2 in to just lo carb. But reversed the big 3, effortlessly. Just tell people I'm on a low glycemic diet because of diabetes. But really, unintensional carnivore because .... too lazy to cook vegetables during the last 6 mo. So, I'm sort of doing it too. Many more years for you.
Thank you so much
The Plant side continues to argue you'll be healthier on plants "because you absorb glucose more slowly". That is their weak argument; since glucose is a secondary fuel source. Fat and protein being the primary fuel source of humans. The metaphor being: instead of quitting cigarettes; "you'll be healthier on low tar cigarettes"
I agree
@@yadiachenia Gluconeogenesis occurs if the body requires it. You should be fueling on Ketones.
Thanks Mitch, happy carniversary!
Amazing.
I guess you’re doing okay with kidney stones. I also had a history as a stone-former, like my dad, and my 6-years-older brother, who both have had several. I heard that advice about lemon water, but that didn’t sound very appealing, just from the standpoint of the nuisance of making it. Then it occurred to me almost 10 years ago that I could switch the form of magnesium supplement I was taking to magnesium citrate, thinking the citric acid was most likely the secret sauce of lemons. Sure enough, I’ve never had another one since. I turned my brother on to it, and he has done the same, with the same results-no more stones. I mentioned this to my urologist, who said basically, ‘Oh, yeah. You can do that, too. In fact, any of the alkaline metals will work for that.’ Thanks, doc, for not mentioning that as an option. Harrumph.
I think my kidney stones have pretty much dissolved on their own once I stopped eating oxalates
@@OldGuyCarnivore an even better answer. I’ve only been doing the big “C” for 62 days (but who’s counting?), so too early to tell yet for me, but congrats to you, anyway. 👍
I’ll be at two years in Jan. From about 216 lbs to 168 -so far. Very little visceral fat. The gut is gone. BP is beautiful. Very High LDL, High HDL and double digit Triglycerides. Havent had a cold, flu, or illness during the past two cold and flu seasons.
My only nagging issue is anxiety. I cannot shake the near lifelong experience with this issue. It comes and goes.
Congratulations on hitting two years!!
My only advice- your clothes look way too big on you. Buy smaller shirts and pants :).
My wife got tired of how terrible my pants, shirts, and shorts looked and redid my wardrobe lol.
Well, David, I have no wife... LOL
Hahahaha. Never mind then :)
Congratulations
Hey Mitch! I've been wondering what happened to your head. I have scars on my scalp too but they are due to basal cell skin cancer removals so your's are from a much more serious reason. Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary. 71 year old male and I've been Ketovore since last December but I am actually almost 95% carnivore now and it has changed my life as well as it has yours. Lost 40 pounds. (It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle) Will try and catch you tomorrow. Please say hello to Dr. Ken Berry if you see him. He really opened my eyes about 6 months ago.
The scar on my head is from brain surgery about 3 years ago
Great video Mitch. I watched a video tonight on Michael Savage called canned tuna and pasta and about 26 minutes in he starts talking about carnivore is the worst diet ever and the majority of people in the world survive from 80% grains and a small amount of meat and vegetables as he’s all fat, sucking his bottle of wine and eating pasta and tuna, and he thinks he’s the intellectual of the universe😂
I know, I saw that.
Thankyou, sounds like I am stumbling somewhat along a similar path! salute!
Thank you
Love your story. Sounds so familiar??
Who knows what would have happened if you were a carnivore already at the time of this long sauna session. Would you have passed out and hurt yourself? And if you did: Could you have healed that hemorrhage in the weeks after and avoided surgery? We'll never know for sure but I'd say there's a fair chance. My experience is wounds heal so much faster than before.
That's an interesting what if
I played around tonight..beef shank in crock pot...aaarrgghhh...it went downhill...i added carrotsafter 4 weeks of no veg ..feeling better and then here we go...i ate the some of my meal and feel crappy..no satiety and disappointed ...so theres my lesson. Tommorow ribeye a nd eggs.period.o! And some marrow bones!😂❤
Live and learn
Hi Mitch, love your vids. I’m 2 weeks in, I’m having super low energy. Help,thanks
Here is some advice from my 547 days as a carnivore…
First you’ve got to keep your fat content very high. 70-80% fat macros is ideal.
Most beginner carnivores aren’t eating enough fat and this will cause low energy and could also cause constipation too.
As Dr Kiltz says, carnivore should really be called “Fativore”!!
Second, make sure you are eating enough. As Dr Berry says, when you’re hungry, eat lots of fatty (preferably red) meat and eggs until you’re comfortably stuffed/full. Then, go outside and play. Then when you get hungry again, repeat this process.
Carnivore is so simple and easy once you get into the groove and get past the first month or so.
Good luck!!!😊😊
Cook everything in butter, drink your electrolytes, don't stick to OMAD, have many snacky meals. Try an omelette with bacon, a small steak etc. You will find your energy will come back, good luck on your journey. ❤
@@juliawigger9796 thanks so much. I’ll try it.
Im just going into my 3rd week and my belly (cortisol) has defeated and getting relief with my mental health. I guess im keto but i feel the need to eat salad for my every day needs.
Well i broke down and had an orange yesterday. It was good. So far im still alive.
If you must
I have family that were 7th day Adventist and they could eat meat just not pork
Many of today's Adventists tell me they don't follow the vegetarian teachings, but their medical businesses do.
Aug 1st I was 1 yr carnivore
Way to go
Imagine finding carnivore when we were teenagers?
That would have been great
👍😎
👍
*How many cups of coffee do you enjoy each morning, Mitch? I prefer 2, sometimes 3.*
I usually have two cups of caffeinated coffee and maybe one more of decaf later in the morning
🎉 🥩
So no cheese or dairy?
Mitch, If you discovered that you had FH resulting in LDL > 300 on LCHF diet, would that have concerned you based on what most traditional Cardiologists claim (using data) showing a correlation to elevated risk of heart disease? I've been on LCHF for 5 years, want to go Carnivore but my LDL > 300 even if I carefully manage my fat intake. If I didn't manage my fat intake, my LDL would be > 500. I've had the more advanced cholesterol tests, my cholesterol avg particle size is not statistically great. Fortunately, I don't have a secondary risk with bad Apo-A. All my other blood markers are great and I have no other heart disease risks, excluding insulin resistance in remission with LCHF. I know what Keto/Carnivore docs say about the lack of causal connection to LDL and heart disease. Frankly, I don't believe either side, I suspect some people do have a causal correlation of LDL and heart disease, the problem is there's no way to determine who is really at risk, although most aren't. I don't want to get this wrong and end up suffering in the future due to a bad decision but maybe I have no guaranteed healthy choice with this FH condition. I have seen the recent studies of FH by Keto folk but there are no non-invasive reliable tests for soft-plaque buildup detection. I've had CAC tests with zero but I don't trust this test for predicting soft-plaque related heart issues. Thanks.
I have my opinion on that, but I cannot give it to you as that would be medical advice and I'm not a doctor
@@OldGuyCarnivore Can you tell me if you would continue with Carnivore if you had my condition, or is that still too risky? The censorship/control on the internet is ridiculous, we can't say much of anything significant w/o high risk of being attacked/destroyed. Thanks.
@Hiker_Mike honestly, I don't think that anything to do with cholesterol could be aggravated or made any worse by avoiding poisonous foods
@@OldGuyCarnivore Thanks Mitch, yes, that's my reasoning regarding this too... oh well, if it turns out bad for me, I really have no choice because I'm not going back to the sugary/high-carb toxic garbage. Also, if I listened to the advice of the traditional Cardiologist, I would be prescribed several medications upon changing to their recommended low-fat diet... no thanks, not going down the destructive prescription drug path. Take care.
Thanks Mitch…you’re a straight shooter!
Mitch do you supplement with electrolytes?
Yes I do I make my own and I have a video on my channel
Don’t exercise a lot stress is killing us ! The proper human diet is the key to prosper not the gym! We are so brainwashed! Don’t do something what’s killing you and gym is so unhealthy!!!
Congratulations take the rest of the day off eat meat have a coffee and smoke a cigar.
That sounds like a plan
