I was plant based for 3 decades (🙈I know!) and suffered constant acid reflux. Fast forward… came across Lierre Keith’s ‘The Vegetarian Myth’ have now been carnivore for over 5 years. All digestive issues gone. Best wake up ever!!!
Meat is not acidic, period. Before becoming carnivore on May 15 last year, I regularly had acid reflux and often a yucky feeling in my mouth. It all "miraculously" vanished when I began eating only red meat. I feel great - healthy, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!
I’m having the opposite reaction. I had gastritis until control that I was able to eat without any problems, since starting canivore, I experienced a flare up so scary that I ran to the emergency room. My stomach is not happy with all the red meat and fat. I’m doing Keto and I feel better.
Yeah but acid reflux isn't attributed to meat being acidic. If anything meat would tend to heal that thanks to zinc and B12. It has more to do with potential osteoporosis which takes time to settle in if ever it does.
@SachelleCambria you could be eating too much meat or too often. I eat 1X daily and just enough beef only until I'm comfortably full. Not stuffed. I fast 16-20 hours prior to my 1X beef meal.
@@monicahoff6650 I only eat it once a day and only eat twice a day. Prior to carnivore, I avoided red because of fear that it was bad for me. My stomach is just not used to it.

I used to use a tablespoon of peanut butter to get to sleep. Now I use butter. Real easy on the blood sugar. Also when I'm starving and making a meat or egg I'll take a chomp out of a stick of butter cause it softens the spike of blood sugar.
Meat and eggs won't spike your blood sugar....the Fat and protein causes a gradual ,moderate increase that isn't a rapid spike .It will also gradually normalise afterwards ,without a crash .
Thank you as always Dr Chaffee for this response. It's always so great to listen to your information and reasoning. I am on day 81 as of today. Feeling on top of the world !
For leena who asked the question about fasting: I also put on 18kg of fat on carnivore. It might be related to your hormones...thiroid... menopause fat. Check these things
Carnivore for 6 weeks. Had severe acid reflux for years. It’s gone now. I never have the 2:30pm crash like I use to when I ate carbs. I have energy all day. I’m awake & alert all day. Down 20lbs & never hungry. No sugar cravings. Carnivore is an absolute game changer!!!
Bart Kay reacted to that meat=acidity video... Basically, Professor Bart Kay said, "It was a dumb concept and that the other guy didn't really know what he was talking about," (im paraphrasing.
Your blood will be ph regulated by the body. Preferentially for that matter that it will go to the bones if it had to to maintain that. So the best way to prove or disprove that theory would be to look at the bone density and quality of carnivores. My guess they are very sound.
its one of the things the archeologists look at to determine diet of the ancients. there are graves in the Balkan region which have a mix of the Proto-Europeans, who were primarily carnivore, and the original European inhabitants that were primarily plant based. they can tell who is who because the P-E were typically larger and had better bone density. (their graves were similar to those on the Russian steppe).
Only time I gain any weight on carnivore is if I’m eating lots of cheese or heavy cream and spiking my blood sugar all day without proper eating window.
Same. The week I added raw milk cheddar cheese to my burgers and used chalffles made with the same cheese I saw my weight start to creep up. Not doing that again 😂
The unhealthy “acidity” derives from industrial processed carbohydrates But yes, meat are acidic to, BUT this acidity helps your stomach process the meat, so you’ll absorb all the nutrients Way to many people have very low stomach acid, which leads to a whole lot of other conditions in your whole body, incl. leaky gut syndrome, which again leads to autoimmune health issues.
deboraazharra4934, pH of beef is approx 5.65. Fruits and veggies are way more acidic, apples being 3.65. I don't know of a food that humans eat off hand that are either neutral (7.0) or alkaline. I agree, humans need to eat slightly acidic foods to help in the digestive process in the stomach. Ingesting sodium bi-carb would just mess up the natural pH of our stomach of 1.5 to 3.
The normal/optimal stomach pH for humans is 1.5 to 3. What level of pH, to your understanding, is low enough to cause the valve on the top of the stomach to stay open?
It is my understanding that coffee or caffeinated. Beverages relaxes the sphincter. Not only below, so to speak, but above. Causing stomach contents To reflux.
It's neither low or high stomach acid that's the cause of heart burn. I had heartburn even when I ate betaine hcl. The cause of GERD is carbohydrates fermenting in intestines. Fermentaion produces gas. It can either go up or down. If it goes up it creates a bubble from the acid stomach and that gas bubble pushes up to the esophagus. There are 2 tactics people use to avoid that: 1) they decrease stomach acid by taking antacids => there are no more bubbles of acid, just gas but the problem is still there and absorption of nutrients is impeded 2) they increase stomach acid by taking betaine hcl => increase of stomach acid causes esophageal sphinster to close because it "thinks" it's meal time. The result of this is that the rising pressure from the intestines has to go somewhere and hopefully it will result in a fart Another name for bacterial fermentation is SIBO. The real solution is stopping carbohydrates, fermentation stops within a couple of weeks.
14:15 Hey, Doc. Just want to start with saying that you saved my life and my pancreas. Carnivore is healing. However: Hard dissagree on fasting not having health benefits! I had peripheral neuropathy in my foot after Glucose and insulin infusion after Ketoacidosis. Fasting for 7 days fixed it! As a neurologist, I immagine you can see the implications of that. Also, there have been stories of people healing and regenerating myocard. That is understood as imposible! Anyway. Love you, doc.
I think he's concerned with slowing down your metabolism, which is totally legit, but I agree some people need to heal other things first and fasting can help. I personally do a 2-3 day dry fast once in a while but I'm pretty healthy now, after being on carnivore 4 years.
Recently bought a 36cm wrought iron pan to help with the diet from Solidteknics. I can almost throw out the rest of my kitchen. 3 full rump steaks at a time! No I have no affiliation with the company. Just makes life so much easier.
In terms of acid indigestion and reflux, my tummy is always fine after eating red meat and fat. I used to live on Tums, but it was wheat and grains and some dairy that gave me acid indigestion. Just my personal experience.
???? I'm 75yrs with Autoimmune Hashimotos & a raging GOUTY ARTHRITIS flare from straying from Carnivore 😢 I'm 90% to 100% Carnivore. Do you have a video for me? ❤ I use one clove raw garlic daily, for a natural antibiotic.
I agree about blood acidity. It never change. But I though that when we were talking about body acidity it referred to body fluids, like saliva or urine. On a very high process food diet, my urine ph was around 6.7, which is not surprising.
I am not trying to be rude but the urine ph is a silly metric to ever be concerned about. Urine IS, in part, one of the bodies redundant systems that regulates ph. Urine is LEAVING the body, not part of the bodies ph.
The urine tells a lot about what's going on in the body. You get readings of billirubin, urobillinogen, glucose, nitrate, leucocytes etc. And also ph. When I was on a plantbased diet I had a good ph of 6.5 to 7. Since carnivore my ph is 5!!
Meat has a lower ph than most plants, but that is indeed a GOOD thing. We need the acidity in our stomach to properly digest protein. We as a species have in fact one of the lowest ph levels in our stomach acid, especially as mammals.
That Dr needs to stop selling his supplements. Meat is made of fat and protein. Fat is the opposite of acidic. Protein is neutral at best but usually basic if anything. How silly can one person be?
Check out steak and butter gal 'marketing system'...! It is all about click bait and NEW viewers, nothing else. Hey, people have to eat, right, and if they do nothing that actually is of value, they have to scam. But then, commercial marketing brought us this info or we'd not know it. We built a broken system on purpose so it can be 'leveraged'. It ain't gonna get fixed, and this is as good as it gets. Has Dr C helped you? Like elections, you get to chose the lesser of evils. To good health! Be well :O)
In one of your videos pertaining to psoriasis, you touched base on how ketones can help the brain with traumatic brain injury. Could you make a video on that? Very interesting
Regarding Leena's question, I am unable to "just listen to my body" and lose weight. If I just obey my hunger and eat as much just beef as I want I will gain weight, especially if I eat multiple times a day. Perhaps she is similar. I have had to resort to actual fasting (36-47 hour fasts) and not just time-restricted eating (OMAD) to get results that I want. If I can find it in myself, I plan on doing 72 hour fasts twice a month. However from the research I have done, 72 hrs should be the maximum for fasts as longer fasts can actually slow down your metabolism as Dr. Chaffee stated. I don't believe Dr. Chaffee has ever actually been fat, so with all due respect, I believe he lacks experience and perspective in this regard.
You don’t have to be fat to make observations about results from fat people. Such a silly thing to say. Regarding your weight gain and hunger signaling, I wonder if you are doing your body a disservice by depriving it of nutrients it needs over time. Some allege having eaten large amounts of meat for some months until suddenly their hunger was more moderate.
I always thought this weird concept of food acidity or alkalinity was the weirdest diet craze ever thought up. All food is acidic. Vegetables and fruit have higher acidity than most animal products.
Lemons are acidic but aren’t acid-producing in the body-by the time they hit the kidneys, they’ll contribute to lowering the pH of your urine. This is why baking soda and lemon juice are often used in homeopathic/natural medicine to help kill pathogenic levels of bacteria (UTI) in the kidneys. Works in about 30-45 minutes to eliminate the pain from a UTI. Dr. Chaffee is just wrong on this, sorry. Meat isn’t bad, but it’s just unquestionable that some foods are acid producing in the body, and some work to lower acid. Not in the blood, bc your body controls that pH very tightly.
I did read in medical books that some foods are acid forming and some are alkaline forming. I do know some people bodies adapt to food sources overtime depending on where they live. Some People live long healthy lives over 100 years eating rice and veggies on Okinawa, Japan or eating pasta and veggies in Sardinia, Italy. Their bodies adapted to their diet overtime. My body is not adapted to eating rice or pasta and they may not be adapted to eating my diet.
If you look at the actual diets of people in Okinawa and Sardinia, is far more meat-based than they portrayed in the Blue Zones propaganda face. Also, a lot of those people were not actually as old as they said they were, as they had lied about their age to qualify for pensions earlier or to continue receiving the pensions of dead relatives who had died years earlier but weren't reported to the government. So pension fraud was a major contributor, but also regular fraud where they lied about how much meat they ate
Okinawans eat way less rice than the rest of Japan and they eat a lot of pork and sea food not just rice and veggies... The so called claim that they eat mostly plant based came from a 'study' done on them not that long after world war two when they were still essentially starving on sweet potatoes because their normal food had been decimated...
Same with Sardinia the majority of the centarians there were shepherds who lived off of mostly lamb, milk, cheese, and pork but some propaganda piece claimed they ate mostly grains and beans and veggies and became popular enough that now people think it's true
@@jessicah2345 Yes - All of those who were interviewed in documentaries were not in ketosis or eating a carnivore diet. Most had their own gardens with Japanese veggies in Okinawa and no cattle or animals. They were seniors in rural areas far from cities. They did eat meat also. One lady showed how she buried cabbages in snow to save for later use. According to the lovely documentaries, their diet appeared balanced without processed foods. I am sure bodies adapted to their diets over the years.

😂 Addicts cook up their fix with citric acid 💉You can literally bang acid straight in your vein and you are completely fine (well, they're probably mighty high indeed but they're not dead)
True, but keep in mind that 0.5 ml of a slightly acidic liquid (say it's water, heroin and citric acid) injected in 5 liters of blood is not going to have a huge effect on blood pH. I guess that a hard workout tend to decrease blood pH much more.
@@Noegzitwho knows. I'm thinking it's still an entire percent change in a system that only usually deals with minute fluctuations. Just goes to show though, we are so ridiculously robust if we just get out of our own way. It also displays just how bad the *ahem* "food" most people eat to mash themselves up so badly isn't it
Fasting can be very beneficial, for many aspects of a healthy lifestyle. Many of us come from critical periods of health. Kelly Hogan also intermittent fasts. This subject is the one I do disagree with Dr Chaffee.
Carb burning produces at least 66% more ROS and acidity than burning fat because it is inherently more dirty burning as a fuel. And that's the best case where it cleans up properly after itself, which it often does not. This is part of the reason a high carb diet is so catabolic. Bicarbonate supplementation can take some pressure off your kidneys but it is not absolutely necessary on any diet, and much less necessary on a diet low in carbs!
@@markaguilera493 That's the reason an acidic diet is bad, and burning carbohydrates acidify the body greatly. Especially bad for the kidney. One of the main reasons vegans are pencilnecks.

Regarding fasting, a bit of in-depth information that was lacking here. No, the main benefit of fasting is not that you do not consume poison like oxalates. And no, fasting does not cause any jojo effect; eating a caloric deficit does, fasting per se does not. In cases of severe overweight, people have fasted 300+ days without any signs of a reduced metabolism whatsoever. As long as you keep your electrolytes in check and have sufficient body fat, you can theoretically water fast indefinitely. Dry fasting is even more potent, however dry fasting should for safety reasons not be done in high heat or for periods longer than 5-7 days (3 days max for beginners). Firstly, eating carnivore is a form of ketogenic diet; it puts your metabolism into ketosis, so burning fat. Fasting on the other hand is a repair state. The body shuts down energy for digestion and increases autophagy & growth hormone output significantly, even compared to ketosis. 1-2 times per year a 5-7 day fast is recommended, as the deep autophagy reduces chances for alzheimer, parkinsons & cancer. It's good for the immune system as well and the growth hormone makes it easier to put on muscles too. Secondly, it's neither a new invention nor unnatural. Just as our ancestors lived by hunting, the fasted between hunts when there was no prey available. Even for the mongols, it was normal to go 2-3 days without any food between meals! It is therefore of no surprise that any religion whatsoever has some way to teach about fasting. For medicinal reasons, once or twice a year fasting 5-7 days is enough.
@anthonychaffeemd thank you for your reply. So I really don't need to add any? I am 100% strict carnivore due to stomach issues. I include salt for added flavor, (can't have any other spices) but I've also been taking electrolytes (LMNT) AM I consuming to much sodium? Been doing this over a year, and still trying to figure some things out. Thanks again for your reply.
MARIJUANA can mess up your hunger signals. I know. ✌️ It not only can make you overeat, you can get to a point where you can't finish a meal if you're not stoned. As a daily toker, I was eating a lot of small meals all throughout the day. I didn't fix this until I spent a week on a T break (slang for quitting THC). When I smoked another joint one night, the next morning I couldn't finish my normal breakfast. Daggum plants!! 😖
Question regarding prostate cancer and carnivore diet. Apparently high testosterone contributes to prostate cancer. Wouldn’t carnivore, which raises testosterone, be a bad diet to follow in such cases then? They seem to recommend a Mediterranean /Vegetarian diet - which makes sense as it lowers testosterone I think.
My potassium and sodium ARE very low tho. I’m not fully carnivore yet but I’m definitely mostly meat/animal based and do full carnivore some days. I was very surprised because I’ve never had low electrolytes before.
When you cut out the carbs you body naturally loses more water, much of it inflammation. Some people that start carnivore seen to need some extra electrolytes, but for me I just needed to add more Redmonds salt to my food and also my water, and I feel amazing & no more cramps.
Have you spoken to Advanced glycation End products “AGE”? I’ve heard a few people talk about glycation on carnivore but a heart dr that I respect on you tube just dropped a video detailing the supposed toxic and inflammatory effects and how high temps and types of food are affected. It seems like grilling red meat is about the worst according to this. Is this a thing?
Those that discuss meat being acidic for the body refer to the interstitial fluid between the cells and the cells themselves as being effected. Not the blood. Dr.Robert Young is one who promotes this and he Claims to not eating meat for 40 years and is in his 70's and looks great. If carnivore diet works for you do it. I know I am checking it out, and have been recommending it to my patients.
Lol "the Nutrient....Mart" 😅.... oh wait, is there a store called Nutrient Mart for real? I'm familiar with the GNCs and Vitamin Shoppe ... anyway made me lol
, As a nurse in the US having taken anatomy and physiology I and II, chemistry. Microbiology, Nutrition etc... I was always led to believe and was taught that protein is made up of acids as well, as well as fat being made up of acids, yet you say there is no acid in meat.
I've been carnivore for about 1 1/2 years, and I can say I don't like the taste of liver either so I chop mine up and add it to my hamburger and I can barely taste it. I have maintained my weight, and my eyesight has gotten better. Don't see myself stopping carnivore.
If it doesn't taste good don't eat it trust your body to know what it needs. When I first went carnivore 4 years ago I was eating it a lot and it tasted great. now it tastes terrible to me, so I know my body doesn't want/need it anymore.
I recently had a dna health test. Not sure whether you have an opnion on it. My APOE result was E3/E2 and PON1 was GA. I've been told to minimise saturated fats because of raised triglycerides. Was so keen to go complete carnivore but my DNA test has thrown a spanner in the works. Any advice on this please? Thank you Dr Chaffee for all your amazing education.
My stomach doesn’t like all the red meat and fat. I had gastritis under control until I started the canivore diet. Even though I take HCA before every meal, it doesn’t help. I’m doing Keto and feel much better. It sucks because I started canivore due to food allergies.
I agree. With the potential of creating uric acid kidney stone when they say more acid produced to digest meat. I wonder how much truth to that, if so, how to combat it besides increase water consumption with lemon.
You don't eat salt? Don't you salt your meat? You would be the first carnivore diet influencer I've heard of that doesn't eat salt. What do you do for electrolytes?
Do you have a link to something explaining this information? My wife sent me a video of a Dr. saying meat was acidic, at this point its he said he said, It would help me if i had a document to show her.
Google acidity of meat and then google acidity of fruits and vegetables. You'll see that meat is slightly acidic, pH less than 7.0. Fruits and vegetables are much mote acidic. I know of no human food off hand that is either neutral (pH 7.0) or alkaline (pH greater than 7.0)
Yes I've heard that many time on my health journey trying to figure out what is the best diet... And I've heard many times that eating lemon make our body less acid... Never understood how and why... 🙃
I have the same problem but what I do to counter it is cook it then put in the fridge to cool then I eat with a glass of water when I have it. Hope this helps!
my trick is to eat a small piece of liver with a big piece of a different meat I like. It helps kill the liver's taste somewhat. However, I also hate the smell of fried liver, so I only did this once xD
Cook it with onions even if u dont eat the onions,every dish around d world with liver uses onions ,also it needs to be fresh and eaten by next day at latest ,store bought stuff is not great

I used to use a tablespoon of peanut butter to get to sleep. Now I use butter. Real easy on the blood sugar.
Also when I'm starving and making a meat or egg I'll take a chomp out of a stick of butter cause it softens the spike of blood sugar.
Meat and eggs won't spike your blood sugar....the Fat and protein causes a gradual ,moderate increase that isn't a rapid spike .It will also gradually normalise afterwards ,without a crash .
Sense starting the meat diet, no more acid reflux, arthritis, osteoporosis or eye floaters. My skin is tightening up an age spots are disappearing.
Thank you as always Dr Chaffee for this response. It's always so great to listen to your information and reasoning. I am on day 81 as of today. Feeling on top of the world !
Meat and Sprinting heals
Simply soo good to hear you Dr. Chaffee
For leena who asked the question about fasting: I also put on 18kg of fat on carnivore. It might be related to your hormones...thiroid... menopause fat. Check these things
Carnivore for 6 weeks. Had severe acid reflux for years. It’s gone now. I never have the 2:30pm crash like I use to when I ate carbs. I have energy all day. I’m awake & alert all day. Down 20lbs & never hungry. No sugar cravings. Carnivore is an absolute game changer!!!
Bart Kay reacted to that meat=acidity video... Basically, Professor Bart Kay said, "It was a dumb concept and that the other guy didn't really know what he was talking about," (im paraphrasing.
Your blood will be ph regulated by the body. Preferentially for that matter that it will go to the bones if it had to to maintain that. So the best way to prove or disprove that theory would be to look at the bone density and quality of carnivores. My guess they are very sound.
its one of the things the archeologists look at to determine diet of the ancients. there are graves in the Balkan region which have a mix of the Proto-Europeans, who were primarily carnivore, and the original European inhabitants that were primarily plant based. they can tell who is who because the P-E were typically larger and had better bone density. (their graves were similar to those on the Russian steppe).
I see even women in their 60s and 70s reversing osteoporosis on a carnivore diet, within a year typically.
@@anthonychaffeemdThis is my hope, among many other benefits! 🙂
Bart Kay did a few response videos to that one of Dr James, they were quite interesting but also quite technical :)
Excellent talk Anthony!👍! The pH of 2 in our stomach is THAT low for a reason, & to try to dilute it is wrong!
Only time I gain any weight on carnivore is if I’m eating lots of cheese or heavy cream and spiking my blood sugar all day without proper eating window.
Same. The week I added raw milk cheddar cheese to my burgers and used chalffles made with the same cheese I saw my weight start to creep up. Not doing that again 😂
The unhealthy “acidity” derives from industrial processed carbohydrates
But yes, meat are acidic to, BUT this acidity helps your stomach process the meat, so you’ll absorb all the nutrients
Way to many people have very low stomach acid, which leads to a whole lot of other conditions in your whole body, incl. leaky gut syndrome, which again leads to autoimmune health issues.
deboraazharra4934, pH of beef is approx 5.65. Fruits and veggies are way more acidic, apples being 3.65. I don't know of a food that humans eat off hand that are either neutral (7.0) or alkaline. I agree, humans need to eat slightly acidic foods to help in the digestive process in the stomach. Ingesting sodium bi-carb would just mess up the natural pH of our stomach of 1.5 to 3.
It’s low stomach ph that causes the valve on the top of the stomach to stay open, causing gastritis/ heart burn.
The normal/optimal stomach pH for humans is 1.5 to 3. What level of pH, to your understanding, is low enough to cause the valve on the top of the stomach to stay open?
@@CarnivoreGrace low acidity. Lack of acidity etc. my mistake for your misinterpretation
It is my understanding that coffee or caffeinated. Beverages relaxes the sphincter.
Not only below, so to speak, but above. Causing stomach contents To reflux.
It's neither low or high stomach acid that's the cause of heart burn. I had heartburn even when I ate betaine hcl. The cause of GERD is carbohydrates fermenting in intestines. Fermentaion produces gas. It can either go up or down. If it goes up it creates a bubble from the acid stomach and that gas bubble pushes up to the esophagus. There are 2 tactics people use to avoid that:
1) they decrease stomach acid by taking antacids => there are no more bubbles of acid, just gas but the problem is still there and absorption of nutrients is impeded
2) they increase stomach acid by taking betaine hcl => increase of stomach acid causes esophageal sphinster to close because it "thinks" it's meal time. The result of this is that the rising pressure from the intestines has to go somewhere and hopefully it will result in a fart
Another name for bacterial fermentation is SIBO.
The real solution is stopping carbohydrates, fermentation stops within a couple of weeks.
@@Michal_Sobczyk thank you!!!!!
Bart Kay responded thoroughly to that Dr. DiNicolantonio video.
14:15 Hey, Doc. Just want to start with saying that you saved my life and my pancreas. Carnivore is healing. However:
Hard dissagree on fasting not having health benefits! I had peripheral neuropathy in my foot after Glucose and insulin infusion after Ketoacidosis.
Fasting for 7 days fixed it! As a neurologist, I immagine you can see the implications of that.
Also, there have been stories of people healing and regenerating myocard. That is understood as imposible!
Anyway. Love you, doc.
I think he's concerned with slowing down your metabolism, which is totally legit, but I agree some people need to heal other things first and fasting can help. I personally do a 2-3 day dry fast once in a while but I'm pretty healthy now, after being on carnivore 4 years.
@itsgio5573 no water, it speeds up autophagy.
Recently bought a 36cm wrought iron pan to help with the diet from Solidteknics. I can almost throw out the rest of my kitchen. 3 full rump steaks at a time! No I have no affiliation with the company. Just makes life so much easier.
Meat is perfect for health. ❤🥩❤
In terms of acid indigestion and reflux, my tummy is always fine after eating red meat and fat. I used to live on Tums, but it was wheat and grains and some dairy that gave me acid indigestion. Just my personal experience.
It's not meat per se that's acidic it's presumably the downstream metabolites.
Carbs increase stomach acid production?!? ...Yeah that checks out from my experience!
Bart Kay already answered this. He put Dr Dinicolantonio in his place.
The whole alkaline movement is going through a resurgence right now and there are a lot of Dr sebi people out there too, promoting it.
There’s always a fresh supply of believers.

Strict Lion diet definitely get rid of the poison garlic.
I agree about blood acidity. It never change. But I though that when we were talking about body acidity it referred to body fluids, like saliva or urine. On a very high process food diet, my urine ph was around 6.7, which is not surprising.
I am not trying to be rude but the urine ph is a silly metric to ever be concerned about. Urine IS, in part, one of the bodies redundant systems that regulates ph. Urine is LEAVING the body, not part of the bodies ph.
The urine tells a lot about what's going on in the body. You get readings of billirubin, urobillinogen, glucose, nitrate, leucocytes etc.
And also ph.
When I was on a plantbased diet I had a good ph of 6.5 to 7.
Since carnivore my ph is 5!!
In the context of PH it is silly.
All you are saying is that your waste ph is 5, not your bodies ph...if that was the case you would be deceased.
Great info doc....Carnivore changed my life ...i am 65 feeling 25 ...game changing effect is a carnivore diet
Meat has a lower ph than most plants, but that is indeed a GOOD thing. We need the acidity in our stomach to properly digest protein. We as a species have in fact one of the lowest ph levels in our stomach acid, especially as mammals.
thank you
That Dr needs to stop selling his supplements. Meat is made of fat and protein. Fat is the opposite of acidic. Protein is neutral at best but usually basic if anything. How silly can one person be?
Check out steak and butter gal 'marketing system'...! It is all about click bait and NEW viewers, nothing else. Hey, people have to eat, right, and if they do nothing that actually is of value, they have to scam. But then, commercial marketing brought us this info or we'd not know it. We built a broken system on purpose so it can be 'leveraged'. It ain't gonna get fixed, and this is as good as it gets. Has Dr C helped you? Like elections, you get to chose the lesser of evils. To good health! Be well :O)
Protein is made of amino “acid “

In one of your videos pertaining to psoriasis, you touched base on how ketones can help the brain with traumatic brain injury. Could you make a video on that? Very interesting
Regarding Leena's question, I am unable to "just listen to my body" and lose weight. If I just obey my hunger and eat as much just beef as I want I will gain weight, especially if I eat multiple times a day. Perhaps she is similar. I have had to resort to actual fasting (36-47 hour fasts) and not just time-restricted eating (OMAD) to get results that I want. If I can find it in myself, I plan on doing 72 hour fasts twice a month. However from the research I have done, 72 hrs should be the maximum for fasts as longer fasts can actually slow down your metabolism as Dr. Chaffee stated. I don't believe Dr. Chaffee has ever actually been fat, so with all due respect, I believe he lacks experience and perspective in this regard.
You don’t have to be fat to make observations about results from fat people. Such a silly thing to say.
Regarding your weight gain and hunger signaling, I wonder if you are doing your body a disservice by depriving it of nutrients it needs over time. Some allege having eaten large amounts of meat for some months until suddenly their hunger was more moderate.
@@TehKarmalizer At least I was respectful with my criticism. A courtesy you failed to afford me.
@@XaqNautilus what did I say that was disrespectful?
I always thought this weird concept of food acidity or alkalinity was the weirdest diet craze ever thought up. All food is acidic. Vegetables and fruit have higher acidity than most animal products.
Lemons are acidic but aren’t acid-producing in the body-by the time they hit the kidneys, they’ll contribute to lowering the pH of your urine. This is why baking soda and lemon juice are often used in homeopathic/natural medicine to help kill pathogenic levels of bacteria (UTI) in the kidneys. Works in about 30-45 minutes to eliminate the pain from a UTI.
Dr. Chaffee is just wrong on this, sorry. Meat isn’t bad, but it’s just unquestionable that some foods are acid producing in the body, and some work to lower acid. Not in the blood, bc your body controls that pH very tightly.
You can develop Alkalosis or Acidosis depending on your diet if you body cannot balance properly.
I did read in medical books that some foods are acid forming and some are alkaline forming. I do know some people bodies adapt to food sources overtime depending on where they live. Some People live long healthy lives over 100 years eating rice and veggies on Okinawa, Japan or eating pasta and veggies in Sardinia, Italy. Their bodies adapted to their diet overtime. My body is not adapted to eating rice or pasta and they may not be adapted to eating my diet.
If you look at the actual diets of people in Okinawa and Sardinia, is far more meat-based than they portrayed in the Blue Zones propaganda face. Also, a lot of those people were not actually as old as they said they were, as they had lied about their age to qualify for pensions earlier or to continue receiving the pensions of dead relatives who had died years earlier but weren't reported to the government. So pension fraud was a major contributor, but also regular fraud where they lied about how much meat they ate
Okinawans eat way less rice than the rest of Japan and they eat a lot of pork and sea food not just rice and veggies... The so called claim that they eat mostly plant based came from a 'study' done on them not that long after world war two when they were still essentially starving on sweet potatoes because their normal food had been decimated...
Same with Sardinia the majority of the centarians there were shepherds who lived off of mostly lamb, milk, cheese, and pork but some propaganda piece claimed they ate mostly grains and beans and veggies and became popular enough that now people think it's true
@@jessicah2345 Yes - All of those who were interviewed in documentaries were not in ketosis or eating a carnivore diet. Most had their own gardens with Japanese veggies in Okinawa and no cattle or animals. They were seniors in rural areas far from cities. They did eat meat also. One lady showed how she buried cabbages in snow to save for later use. According to the lovely documentaries, their diet appeared balanced without processed foods. I am sure bodies adapted to their diets over the years.

Eat till full. Add water and salt to taste Done
😂 Addicts cook up their fix with citric acid 💉You can literally bang acid straight in your vein and you are completely fine (well, they're probably mighty high indeed but they're not dead)
True, but keep in mind that 0.5 ml of a slightly acidic liquid (say it's water, heroin and citric acid) injected in 5 liters of blood is not going to have a huge effect on blood pH. I guess that a hard workout tend to decrease blood pH much more.
@@Noegzitwho knows. I'm thinking it's still an entire percent change in a system that only usually deals with minute fluctuations. Just goes to show though, we are so ridiculously robust if we just get out of our own way. It also displays just how bad the *ahem* "food" most people eat to mash themselves up so badly isn't it
Do you still get the vitamins from well done meat?
Fasting can be very beneficial, for many aspects of a healthy lifestyle. Many of us come from critical periods of health. Kelly Hogan also intermittent fasts. This subject is the one I do disagree with Dr Chaffee.
Bart Kay clearly illustrated why this person was wrong about meat acidity.
My last lab work all normal now. BUT UREA what do I do about UREA??
Carb burning produces at least 66% more ROS and acidity than burning fat because it is inherently more dirty burning as a fuel. And that's the best case where it cleans up properly after itself, which it often does not. This is part of the reason a high carb diet is so catabolic. Bicarbonate supplementation can take some pressure off your kidneys but it is not absolutely necessary on any diet, and much less necessary on a diet low in carbs!
What do you mean by saying hc diet is catabolic?..
@@markaguilera493 That's the reason an acidic diet is bad, and burning carbohydrates acidify the body greatly. Especially bad for the kidney. One of the main reasons vegans are pencilnecks.
He is technically accurate, but it's only applicable if we ONLY eat protein. Thankfully, we eat meat, which is much much more than just protein.
Do you have a link to the document that explains this?
Say what? Meat is fat, protein and water.
Bart Kay put out a take-no-prisoners response to DiNic’s video. So far he has a two part video up on pH regulation.

Hey @anthonychaffee, just wondering why you’ve dropped salt?
Also, i lost fat doing carnivore and fasting. I didn't gain fat back after i ate again. Unless I went off plan and ate carbohydrates.
Regarding fasting, a bit of in-depth information that was lacking here.
No, the main benefit of fasting is not that you do not consume poison like oxalates.
And no, fasting does not cause any jojo effect; eating a caloric deficit does, fasting per se does not. In cases of severe overweight, people have fasted 300+ days without any signs of a reduced metabolism whatsoever. As long as you keep your electrolytes in check and have sufficient body fat, you can theoretically water fast indefinitely.
Dry fasting is even more potent, however dry fasting should for safety reasons not be done in high heat or for periods longer than 5-7 days (3 days max for beginners).
Firstly, eating carnivore is a form of ketogenic diet; it puts your metabolism into ketosis, so burning fat.
Fasting on the other hand is a repair state. The body shuts down energy for digestion and increases autophagy & growth hormone output significantly, even compared to ketosis. 1-2 times per year a 5-7 day fast is recommended, as the deep autophagy reduces chances for alzheimer, parkinsons & cancer. It's good for the immune system as well and the growth hormone makes it easier to put on muscles too.
Secondly, it's neither a new invention nor unnatural. Just as our ancestors lived by hunting, the fasted between hunts when there was no prey available. Even for the mongols, it was normal to go 2-3 days without any food between meals!
It is therefore of no surprise that any religion whatsoever has some way to teach about fasting. For medicinal reasons, once or twice a year fasting 5-7 days is enough.
I'm curious as to why you stopped eating salt.
Just out of taste preference really. I feel great without it though
@anthonychaffeemd thank you for your reply.
So I really don't need to add any?
I am 100% strict carnivore due to stomach issues. I include salt for added flavor, (can't have any other spices) but I've also been taking electrolytes (LMNT) AM I consuming to much sodium?
Been doing this over a year, and still trying to figure some things out.
Thanks again for your reply.

Marinating the meat in a bunch of seed oils could potentially make it acidic
NO!
Why no salt?
Question regarding prostate cancer and carnivore diet. Apparently high testosterone contributes to prostate cancer. Wouldn’t carnivore, which raises testosterone, be a bad diet to follow in such cases then? They seem to recommend a Mediterranean /Vegetarian diet - which makes sense as it lowers testosterone I think.
Ok I’m vegan 🌱 for 10 years eat barely meat I’m still here my bloodwork was ok so .
My potassium and sodium ARE very low tho. I’m not fully carnivore yet but I’m definitely mostly meat/animal based and do full carnivore some days. I was very surprised because I’ve never had low electrolytes before.
When you cut out the carbs you body naturally loses more water, much of it inflammation. Some people that start carnivore seen to need some extra electrolytes, but for me I just needed to add more Redmonds salt to my food and also my water, and I feel amazing & no more cramps.

Those that discuss meat being acidic for the body refer to the interstitial fluid between the cells and the cells themselves as being effected. Not the blood. Dr.Robert Young is one who promotes this and he Claims to not eating meat for 40 years and is in his 70's and looks great. If carnivore diet works for you do it.
