People never said a word when I ate cookies, candy, and other junk food, but suddenly they are worried about my diet. Go figure!
Weird aren't they?
Just be very careful you might get yourself a six pack, God forbid!
I know my own family, and at thanksgiving wondering why I don't eat the pie and ice cream and various other sugary and bread additions. I lost weight on Thanksgiving night, just eating the prime rib which was tough, but that made me eat less. I've gone from 202 lbs to 182 lbs in 25 days, can't seem to go lower cause I've resumed adding muscle working out after Covid on Halloween.
Does the carnivore diet works for time 2 diabetes?
Down to 176 now after almost 3 days water-fasting.
Started mine 24 hrs ago.
Wish me health,hope & happiness ❤❤❤

So true! LOL, they'd go broke
Doctor's nearly killed me twice. Nearly killed my wife once as well. Politicians, big corporation conglomerations try and kill us daily. I will eat exactly what my body truly craves and stay away from the modernized food, pharma and professionals advice. Since I've been eating a high protein, Himalayan salt ground by myself, 4 whole farm eggs per morning , VERY limited sugar diet (limited to only honey, with comb or cane sugar with a natural fiber together), My dandruff has vanished, my rashes are gone, I'm no longer itchy, my arthritis is 100% gone, i've lost almost all my excess weight, i've gained muscle without actively working out, my stool has never been better, my asthma is gone. The list truly goes on.
I no longer trust what this world says. I appreciate your video.
Wow, hope I get good results, just starting carnivore. But nervous.
@@Ladynipchick2 any updates?
@@shokkusan Well, generally I'm calmer and my stomach is quieter - almost no more explosive poos! Skin is good, eyes seem clearer and have less annoying wee hairs growing on upper lip and chin. Nails generally stronger. But ai haven't lost weight yet. I have about 12lbs to lose, but I understand that the body goes on for healing and clearing before weight loss, for some people anyway. My only complaint is that I still feel lethargic a lot of the time. I'm strong and everything gets done that needs to be done, but generally I just want to move round slower than I used to do - and I can't get an answer on that one yet. I'm wondering if I'm just terribly slow to get properly fat adapted? 😃
@Ladynipchick2 that's amazing! i hear that you are supposed to eat grass fed liver as well because it delivers tons of nutrients so maybe try that!
maybe that could help the lethargy. that's my main reason for trying carnivore I'm on day 2 at the moment!
I am 33 yo male from Sweden, I started carnivore diet about 3-4 weeks ago. I no longer have problems with inflammations, eczema, dry skin, bad sleep, anxiety, fatigue. Maybe I forgot something but I feel great! :)
I eat lots of eggs, fatty fish and meat.
Same here M8.

@@Snuffelton BTW, I am 58 yr old male, I eat 12 eggs , 3lbs of venison, salmon I catch in Alaska a week. went for a check up at my doctors office, she asked me, " what did I do to bring all of my bad numbers down"? I said, I went on a Paleo diet. .... she left the room. first time she ever did that.
@@TheBosama Det går hur bra som helst! Jag visste inte att man kunde må så här bra . Det jag vill göra nu är att gå till VCT och göra en hälsokontroll bara för att se om allt är ok. Sen har jag även börjat köpa bättre kvalitet på maten jag äter då jag sparar pengar på denna dieten. Sen måste jag säga att jag är trött på ägg och kött nu.. Men det har inspirerat mig att försöka bli bättre i köket och tillaga det på godarere sätt. Före/efter bilder på min kropp är rätt otroliga. Jag använder inga mediciner längre. Ja jag vad mer kan jag säga. Dieten funkar jättebra för mig :)
@@dundeeecroc You can catch your own salmon, lucky you! I love salmon but it is very expensive in Germany. You get only small pieces of fillet or smoked salmon.
Dr. Berry, you saved my life. Been carnivore for 10 months. Lost 130lbs and all my bloodwork is almost perfect! THANK YOU SIR!
OMG that is awesome.
Awesome 👊💪❤️❤️❤️
Only Jesus can save your life
@@joemonroe9402 thought it was my afterlife...
@Anton was it hard at first? I’m thinking about going carnivore but I’m having some other thoughts as well lol
Sugar should be relisted as a poison.
Just had my first meal of carnivore diet. Im in a hotel with barley a kitchenette. I just cooked a nice fat ribeye steak in a toaster oven. As of today aug 19 2023 i am 24 years old and weight approximately 385 pounds. Wish me luck. Carnivore day 1
Oh btw i forgot to say only put salt pepper and onion powder on my steak. Cooked at 450 for 30 minutes. (Big thick steak) and it was absolutely delicious
Make sure you follow properly with more or qual fat with your protein. You'll know if you aren't if you get tired.
Research food transition, there are some interesting challenges,
New about the diet after 8 months?
Update?
God bless you I hope you’re doing good
My father is 77 yrs. old and had drank and smoked himself to within probably just days of death. He's had heart attacks and strokes with multiple stints in his heart. I love to cook and enjoy what people have tried to tell me is an unhealthy amount of meat in my diet for over 30yrs. When I started feeding my father on a daily basis the same exact things I eat, I had everybody advising me against feeding him any red meat specifically. He lost over 30lbs. his skin color drastically changed, and most noticable of all, was the swollen look his face had disappeared! He looks 10 yrs. younger and really enjoys eating now! They had his diet soo screwed up trying to push the no meat thing.
Doctor ok to Beef but can you eat Chicken on This diet???
Power to you man, you saved your dad looking out for his diet 💪
My dad is brainwashed, believes the Dr advice is the direct word of god
@@legrandgroves8560 Oh, believe me, my dad is too. But I told him it's my way, or no way. If he wants to sit in an old folks home and eat instant potatoes and Salisbury steak, that's up to him. If he wants to enjoy home cooked meals everyday, with a high protein locally sourced meat based diet, it's here for him. My family had him removed from the house last year, and I anticipate his return home shortly. He had to figure out for himself, that those people aren't gonna give him anywhere near the level of care he'd thought they might. I'll be damned, if I fill my kitchen with all that processed crap they expect him to eat.
@@waltergreenleaf9683 Yes
I'm not on a carnivore diet, but my intake is primarily meat and I can tell you I had everything possible tested and the doc said it was one of the most perfect blood test results he's seen, and whatever I'm doing keep it up.
What other foods do you eat and how often?
@Salty Prepper eggs and bacon with a cup of coffee made with cinnamon sprinkled in it, and a late lunch usually with some sort of fresh vegetable, and whatever I want really, but the main dish ranges from a sandwich, steak, pot pie, etc. To sausage, and one peice of dark chocolate.
Rarely do I ever drink soda, mabye one can once a year, same with alcohol.
I also drink a decent amount of water and tea throughout the day and never eat after 6pm.
My diet is definitely not for everyone but apparently is working well for me.
Diabetes runs in the family so that's my main motivation to keep a consistent eating schedule.
@@crs11becausecrs10wastaken to never eat after 6pm is a powerful discipline to get into.
Just that one thing could change people's health. I highly commend you on that.
As simple as it may sound scheduling your food intake to stop by 4/5/or 6pm can have benefits untold.
Could be the difference between going to the hospital and getting a good night's sleep. 👍
Yeah right 😆
@@jirusjirus9322 not really . It all depends on habits related to how you've been raised . Here in France we have dinner between 7 and 8 pm . But we do not have snacks in between meals , we don't eat fast food ( the younger generation do alas ) we cook from scratch at least 90% of our meals . Take out is not a thing outside very large cities . And the population is mostly in very good health . So not eating after 6 pm is absolutely not a key to better health .😊
Just got home from the grocery store. Steak, pork loin, bacon, ground beef and eggs
Starting tonight
I had a long argument with a friend who went vegan about 20 years ago. He argued animal welfare; I argued natural meat based diet. I just heard that after 20 years a vegan he's just had to have a triple by-pass. Seems seed oils, sugar and "heart-healthy" grains isn't such a good idea afterall.
You can be vegan, and live off chips, it's hardly a point. Those fake meats are God awful for you tho.
@@bibsp3556 right.
The arguments of vegans who do it for moral reasons come from a place of ignorance, because crop harvesting kills off many animals as well.
Then we have those who do it for health reasons. You can also say that comes from a place of ignorance when they’re eating processed meat substitutes filled with “natural flavors” and seed oils. But then you have the raw vegans who often times give actual truths to their arguments as to why they choose to eat that way, which is for health. The majority of vegans aren’t raw vegans though, at least from what I’ve seen.
U shoulda told him Animals eat other animals, we can also eat animals as well. Theres no morals when animals eat, its food
@@garouthetiktokinfluencerhu9731 I was a vegan for many years for health reasons, started back before there were fake meats. I did well on it at first because I wasn't eating all the processed garbage. However, as fake meats and other crap came out, I tried them, they were tasty, and my health declined. I found channels like this, and realized that when I had started being vegan, it wasn't the meat that was causing me to be sick, it was all the crap that was put in sauces, etc. with the meat. So, I started eating minimally processed veggies, then added cheeses, and finally added meat back in. I've lost weight and feel MUCH better, and am undoing all the years of damage I'd done by not eating a proper human diet. I was never one who looked down on those eating meat, though, and I'm glad I finally got to the truth and better health, thanks to people like Dr Ken Berry.
Vegans that eat processed vegan products from the store are just virtue signalling. If really interested in environment and personal health would raise own vegetables instead of all the factory raised and processed foods.
I went keto after a 2018 heart attack and 3 stents. Lots of good results - back to college weight, less ache-y, triglycerides/HDL down from 8x to 1-2x. Yet, just today a Mayo lipidologist counseled me to cut way back on saturated fat and red meat. Basically, he was suggesting that I revert back to the low-fat (high carb (which is high sugar)) diet I'd practiced for 25 years and that got me heart disease! I said 'doc, don't carbs break straight down into sugars when consumed'? He said 'yes'. I said 'isn't it sugars that ravaged my arteries'? He said 'yes'. W. T. F. ?
They need you sick to stay in business
@@meddeck so true 😞
they say in ancient culture the tribes doctor was paid a small donation monthly by everyone except for the sick people did not pay while sick
We have to remember that most doctor just repeat what the read in a 100yo book.
I wish I could exclaim “Unbelievable!”, but I unfortunately can not.
I appreciate reading your story, and I’m so happy for you.
I will be praying for your continued health!
I'm a type 1 diabetic since my 30s (I know right. A little late to develop that.) And have struggled. My husband started the carnivore diet and pushed me to it. Medical professionals are not happy about that. I've never felt better. My husband has now converted my sister RN, two nieces, two friends, a brother in law and his chiropractor. I just ordered a CGM and insulin pins. Getting rid of insulin pump. Thank you Dr Berry for your hard work. You have saved my life.
Over 50 years as a type 1. Carnivore has led me to the best ever control of my diabetes ever, with less insulin.
Vitamin C is cheap. Anyone worried about a deficiency on a carnivore diet can take a small tablet occasionally and get more than enough. And vitamin C isn’t chiral, so synthetic vitamin C is EXACTLY LIKE the natural stuff. Of course they’re probably just enriching the sewers and slightly increasing their risk of kidney stones…
Hello!! So proud of you!!! As the mom of a grown child who has T1, I would like to know how it is going for you eating no carbs? Do you count the fat? So many questions. 💓
Hey I am type1 diabetic too and am wondering how you started the process? Just cold turkey? What about low blood sugar?
The fact that carnivores are healthy might be why the WEF and company are trying so hard to get people to NOT eat meat and are pushing bugs so much
You got it in one mate 👍 😉.
Exactly!
That’s ok, if they stop it, I can go out in nature and get some meat to eat, lol
Edit: I agree with you
I do believe that Carnivore is why they are trying to take our meats.
Always comes down to money.
I'm from Pakistan. 50 years back there were very few sick people in our society. People ate simple Mediterranean style two meal diet. Diseases like diabetes, cancer IBS and kidney failures were never heard of in rural areas. Traditional medics were so strict on diet, if any didn't follow prescribed diet pattern they used to refuse treatment. Therefore correct diet and pattern both are important. Dr Berry is doing great service, we all need be aware of propaganda of vegetarian diet.
My wife and I have recently been eating food from Syrian, Iraqi and Turkish restaurants. Wonderful, healthy food!
Bruh India is vegetarian and most Pakistani dishes are rice or lentil based wtf u mean.
Can you direct to a proper Mediterranean diet please ?
@@bibsp3556 India is far from vegetarian
And most Pakistani people eat meat or eggs every day
Bro also from Pakistan, grown in a family of carnivore eaters
For most of my adult life I ate a high carb diet and had horrendous stomach problems, I then dropped the carbs and started to eat a plant rich diet and guess what my stomach issues got even worse.
But earlier this year (my 70th) I reverted to a meat based diet and guess what, NO MORE STOMACH ISSUES!!!
You’re a liar, Bandit.
My stomach always feels nothing when I eat steak. As in, no gas, no big full feeling, no nothing. That to me says my body likes it!
@@patrickhemus8102 That is so true, I will be enjoying a nice fatty Ribeye for my dinner tonight (at 4pm my last meal until 12 noon tomorrow.
My stomach will be calm, peaceful & satiated and when my body decides it has absorbed all the nutrients it needs my visit to the bathroom will be calm without any dramas or noxious malodors👍👍
@@banditbaker1675 exactly. I think I’ll be throwing a ribeye on the grill too!
Pesticides
I eat insane amount of animal fats and salt, never had any problems
🎯
Me too,... I have had heart MRI & hearth cath which prove ZERO arterial plaque & I eat any amount of bacon, sausage, chicken skin, fatty burger & real butter that I want.
Not only that, I have recently had extensive blood work due to medications & just last week, another CT Scan with blood work to prove, despite very heavy boozing & partying in my youth, my kidneys & liver, intestines, colon, bowel, prostate are all perfect at the age of 53.
lucky bastard... my parents always told me to limit the amount of meat i consume, because my body would turn acidic? i'd rather eat meat than carbs and icky sugars...yuck
Been on carnivore 3 years now. Get blood tested and full body check every 6 months, and my essential minerals are 100% perfect.
I subscribed !! For me today is day 1 for cutting everything out but meat . I am a man , 6’2 , 274 pounds , 48 years old . Let’s see where this takes me !
How's progress. I'm just starting and in the keto flu phase. Sticking with it though
Come back and tell us.
How has it been going?
@merryindiana2754 well after a week of keto i got past the fatigue and other symptons i won't mention in detail (gut related). Once in ketosis you feel like a kid with the way your brain starts clicking. Maybe placebo but i feel sharper and energy levels are pretty much steady throughout the day unlike the crashes i had on carbs. Exercise was more difficult in the beginning but it could also be the heat in the Philippines being 87 degrees f when i run. I'm now several weeks into this experiment and i am quite happy with the way i feel. The lack of brain fog in the morning is worth it alone. I've dropped about 4lbs and I'm looking leaner. So far so good
@@JacksHardenedLiver Awesome! Keep up the good work! ❤
Been on Carnivore for 3 months now, I weighed in at 155kg, now down to 138kg, feeling like a new man, a Rock star, thanks Doc.
Nice!
Solid effort bro
How you doing now my man? Still doing good?
I would also like to know how you are doing now, are you still feling well?
I feel this has to do with genetics, white folks have eaten more meat because of the region and the resources available to them. Brown and black people are way different because of the region they live in mainly in sub-tropics, there are abundant amounts of vegetation and fruits and their DNA is able to process and eat plant based foods and there is proof most; brown and black people can't digest milk unlike our white brother and sisters were they can digest it easily and how most pure blood white people can't eat peanuts or others plants because they'll die and that sucks but if you're evolved to eat both you are lucky :) that's why some people can have excellent results on plant based and or meat based its all scientific and your molars tell you exactly what foods you are designed to eat aswell 😉
I am low carb and was terrified of too much salt because of blood pressure. I got labs back today, and the doctor's advice is to eat more salt. My doctor is very encouraging about my lifestyle changes.
Im on the same track low carb 21yrs old thanks for sharing !
I also have been struggling with high blood pressure issues for decades and even just a little bit of salt would aggravate my BP numbers. I went carnivore a few months ago and noticed that I can now take on more salt and it no longer effects my BP at all, and not only that my BP is actually starting to normalize. I stopped eating things that comes out of a box, bag, or can.
@@michaelb.8953 that’s my concern before starting just now doing research. So your BP lowered?
@@bobs8005 Yes it lowered and stabilized. I also discovered that if I take the recommended daily allowance of potassium supplements along with magnesium my BP will normalize. My last home check yesterday was 120/88, where for many years I hovered around 150/100 to 160/105 was my daily normal even on BP meds. Still on meds, but down to one pill, but responsibly working on that one in due time.
Take a look at the work of Darko Velcek. The best salt to use is Celtic Sea Salt!
You know the weirdest thing about my carnivore journey... I was a MASSIVE sugar addict, but also loved my veggies, especially leafy greens. Several times I've been on hikes where the provided food is all tinned meat and pasta etc and within days, I am missing the greens so bad it's ridiculous. Feels awful. Now, I have only eaten beef for three weeks and not once have I craved the greens. What a difference eating real meat vs tinned crap makes, hey, makes me think I wasn't missing the greens at all, I was missing the vitamins and minerals which I mentally associated with the veggies.
yeah the cravings fade quickly
Yes, Exacto!!!
I started carnivore about a month or more ago and after two weeks my body does not have any more inflammation and I don’t wake up in the mornings anymore all stiff and achy and tight. It is like the biggest game changer. Plus my mood is better. my energy is better I feel happier and I feel mentally sharp for and I’ve dropped 8 pounds.
The sad thing is. If u pop over to google the dangers of carnivore diet are so horrific u'll never touch meat again!. I'm now resigned to going thru YT comments and scholarly research to find the truth. It's so frustrating all the conflicting info😢
Exactly! Same! What comes to mind is industry lobbyists and ulterior motives... when it comes to American doctors advocating for anything specific that involves people needing to purchase something, whether pharma or food! Everyone now knows how big pharma bribes have worked till now. Well, now it's the meat industry using approx $4-7 million annually for decades, trying to combat the vegan/vegetarian/global warming movements. I don't trust any of them.
It’s been 11 months and how is it going? Have you learned truth from liars when it comes to carnivore?
Personally, I am not sure. I cannot eat a lot of meat. If I do, I get diarrhea, and I can't eat liver. I can baked chicken, kebabs, but steaks can be hard on my system. I don't have an issue with certain cooked vegetables.
I agree that it’s frustrating. I’m eating carnivore now, but was whole food plant based prior. I honestly miss my plant foods and I never craved meat. But I feel as if carnivore/meat is more appropriate for my genetics and it’s legit the only way I can ever lose weight, which in turn helps me feel so much better. I honestly just look better eating carnivore which I feel like says something.
My biggest concern with carnivore is potassium. I try to eat fish daily to get some. I’ve experienced low potassium before by going low carb and it’s awful! I don’t do well with potassium supplements and I always felt really relaxed with lots of potassium-filled plant foods previously.
But anyway, sometimes you just have to do what feels good to you. Go with your gut. And also, life ebbs and flows. If you can’t do something at the moment, maybe it would work for you in the future. I’m trying to not think too hard about it all and go with the flow!
I have Sjögren’s syndrome and did carnivore religiously for a month and so many symptoms went away! Strayed away for a few months, but am now fully committed and adding in intermittent fasting. Super happy on one meal a day. Even though I’m feeling so much better and losing weight, my friends are freaking out about cholesterol. I know I’m fine. I’m not eating the things that cause vascular inflammation. So hard to get people to think another way.
My sister has Sjogren's and i cannot convince her to try anything different such as Keto or carnivore. Glad to hear you've had such success!
@@terirutherford2935 my thinking is that I didn’t have the condition before, so what needs to change to cause remission (god forbid you say cure)? The obvious has to be diet. It got so much worse during the pandemic when I was binging on anything and everything stress eating. So for me that was the obvious things to change. Nothing to lose!
Tell me about it🙄 My husband is resistant and only thinks about the $$$$ for eating healthy... He survived throat cancer and I believe it was bought on by this lifetime shitty diet.. Oh well im going my own way with what I put in MY BODY!!!
Me too. A lot of my friends are freaked out by the diet and keep saying, “but the cholesterol”… No amount of explaining sways their fears. Shrug
You are correct, it's a nightmare trying to convince others of carni/Keto and extreme low carb diet.
The thing people need to understand is for most people, this becomes a lifestyle and not a ‘fad diet’. Those who have done it and have seen and felt the change and return to better health, can’t ever go back to feeling like crap…because that’s what we ate, crap. It’s a LIFE CHANGE. 🙌🏼
Amen !!!!!!!
The thing for me after 6 months of "non-strict" Carnivore die (about 20% beef, 20% pork, 20% chicken and 40% fat fish (salmon, mackerel, herring) is that eating like this has removed ALL cravings for carbon hydrates. Before, I would get those cravings for mashed potatoes, fries or candy,/pastry). That NEVER happens anymore. I can walk passed the pastry section of the super market, passed all kinds of cakes and cookies, and not feel a thing. As long as I am feeling full on meat, I actually dont think about food at all. I also lost about 30 lbs while I gained a couple of lbs of muscles (I am not a skinny or obese guy but rather muscular).
And with "non-strict", I mean that I sometimes eat some fruit, carrots or have a beer/drink etc. Basically, I dont even call it a "diet" since I dont refuse myself to eat something I wanna eat. I just wanna eat meat with very little cravings for other things hehe
As a rectal-cancer survivor with a bag, carnivore works way better, on both ends.
Same!! High five to another survivor! :)

Nine pounds down and ten weeks on carnivore. My knee pain is 90 percent reduced and my brain fog is gone. Thank you
Yeah! I noticed that my knees are getting better too! And I been in for only 4 weeks. Just 4 weeks since I waived goodbye to veggies forever. I was doing keto before that and is a helpful diet, but the veggies was causing me problems. Particularly with spiked appetite, making me eat too much and inflammation with joint pain. Veggies gone and I’m getting better.
That’s weird as I ate a high carb low meat diet and lost a lot weight as well.
@@oslowilde6961 Not really as the plants have natural protecting chemicals so we don't eat them. The levels are low so most are not noticeably affecting people, but some people are more sensitive to it. In which case, they may be better off avoiding them. Other carbs that are not mostly fibre are basically turned to glucose (sugar) which spikes insulin and fat storage.
Ok so how NONE of the primates we are supposed to be related to are canrivore? Show one gorilla carnivore....i will wait
Humans are hunter gatherers. We are predators, Gorillas are not. We share some DNA, we don't share their exact digestive system, their physique or their habitat and thus we have different evolved needs. As a human deciding your eating habits based on a Gorilla is like a Grizzly bear eating Bamboo because a Panda does.
Dr Berry, thank you so much for posting these explanatory videos to make sure that I really do feel sure in my heart of hearts as you put it that what I'm doing is safe. I was a vegan for 10 years. I developed debilitating back pain and also uterine cancer. Today is my second day on a carnivore diet and I seriously cannot believe that I have so much energy and happiness flowing out of me I can't even believe it!!!!! I usually suffer from terrible fatigue and today I have so much energy I seriously don't even know what to do. Maybe I'll start a new gym routine? I mean I do have three kids so that's somewhere more energy can go but I feel like I have even more than that! 💐💗💐 Again so many praises to you for making these thank you thank you🎉🎉💐🎉💐
Thank you Dr. Berry...once again you bring a level of truth to this world of diets!

Dr. Berry, I have been on this plan 7 days. Lost 5 lbs. My pooch stomach is shrinking, my stomach feels great (no bloating or gas) and my bm is much improved. My eczema also is clearing up. I need to lose a total of 60 lbs. Now, I believe I can do it. Thank you!
What is your progress 2 months later? Thanks.
Why did eczema clear up ?
Been on diet 4 days, a little bit of shock…leg cramps and foggy head…hopefully this will clear up, but besides that I feel great! No bloat. No swelling. Just feeling lean.
@@chdk55christidonny6 Eczema, like psoriasis, is expected to be caused by a trigger. So while people end up with the chronic disease, there is a suggestion that there is dietary reasons why you become inflamed and why you end up dealing with it. People ditching foods can lead to avoidance of ingesting those triggers and thus find themselves better off. We often don't realize something we're consuming could be hurting us because its not obvious. Trying a diet like carnivore could reveal that for some people, but you want to be careful of missing nutrition.
Hi, new to your channel! I was doing carnivore diet for 4 days, and I will say within those few days I have felt an extreme difference in my energy levels and decreased brain fog. I caved and had carbs over the weekend and boy am I feeling it. Btw I am in no way overweight or have any health issues aside from mild acne and feelings of lethargic. The difference I’ve felt is game changing for me. It’s a little hard for me to stay full at times, so I will just keep increasing my protein intake. Thanks for the knowledge and encouragement on this journey . This diet is Godsend 😊🙏🏽
Hey Doc, I am in stitches over here. You're a riot! Love your sense of humor! I'm easing into low carb, then hope to slide off into being a complete carnivore soon. Thanks for all your hard work and for the free advice. :)
Hi, I'm genuinely curious, why do you feel you need to wean yourself off of carbs? Is it lifestyle or addiction based?
@@JayGillyon
its always addiction.
i have same problem.
i did carnivore for a few days.
it was good.
@nikkinikki6570
You don't need to "ween" or slide into a Carnivore diet. Just stop the plants and all foods with sugars. Your body, with plenty of water will clean itself out. If your very active and bi-weekly gym person get some NATURAL electrolytes to drink after your work outs. LMTS [elements] a great provider, and helps with the electrolytes for cardiac muscle like sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium.
@@patpowell862 Depends on a lot of factors. Sugar has been proven to be addictive , and even more so for some people with anxiety or stress issues, much like smoking. Getting off sugar for many people not as lucky as yourself is as bad or worse in some cases than giving up nicotine. It doesn't stop them trying and they should be encouraged and congratulated for that, not talked down to.
I watch his vids in the morning and I’m giggling & my hub say what were you laughing at? I say, if watch Dr Berry’s vids ( he wont) you will know why!
I have just started a carnivore transitioning from keto. Dr Ken mentioned in one video about thinking of vegetables and herbs as a seasoning. I love this idea. It allows me to enjoy the different tastes but maintain minuscule to zero carbs.
I'm going to try to stay totally carnivore for at least three months; so far its only been a week and I can see and feel the difference already which is making me so excited; I would like to get back to eating a few vegetables a couple of times of week; but I like the idea of thinking of them as a seasoning; so maybe a spoonful or a two asparagus, a few string beans depending on how they make me feel. So looking forward to the next couple of months.
@@houston5568 how is it going so far for you? I’ve been on it about a week and feel amazing so far.
That's good to know thanks. I would have hated giving away my homemade pickled jalapenos and red onions!
I am on the Keto. The only difference in my diet is I eat that handful of vegetables that are low carb. What is the benefits of meat only?
The more I really dig and research, the more I'm finding that vegetables are completely unnecessary in the human diet. So are fruits. So are grains. So many of the additional vitamins and minerals they claim we need, we only need because of all that other stuff we eat that we don't need. For example, it turns out that if you don't eat any green leafy vegetables, your body doesn't require any vitamin C supplements. It's like everything we're eating requires us to eat something else to counter act what it's doing to our body. The human body doesn't require citric acid, and it's only benefit was to prevent scurvy in sailors who were eating hardtack, which is just a super dehydrated wheat biscuit, for weeks and months at a time.
It was also determined a very long time ago that people living in the desert could survive healthily on nothing but Camel Milk and Dates, with no deficiencies in anything. The Norther Arctic tribes like Eskimos have never eaten a single green thing or fruit, ever, because it doesn't grow where they live. They survive 100% on meat, and they're healthy. This food and diet crap has always been about business.
Dear Dr Ken Berry, thank you for your videos. I lost my faith in my doctors before due to over consumption of meds. And when I turn to keto diet, my doctor went crazy against it and give me many readings about the danger of being in ketosis. But I didnt give up and found your channel 3 years ago and continue to carnivore. And now I’ve been drug free for 3 years! And all of your analogy (regarding sunscreen etc) really makes sense! Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Lol, your doctors were freaking out, because if you go carnivore, their revenue dries up.
change your doctor
I'm sorry you had to go through that. But happy you found your way out of it. :)
I think many people had the same experience. I had a similar experience but thankfully never was on heavy meds or anything like that. Still quite some damage to my body.
My doctor told me to stay away from red meat, he also advised me to get the Covid jab (which I didn't and don't regret).
@@matthewhowe3727 Hi I've only found this channel....very interesting. Is there a certain way to cook the meat? Do you know if bbq meat is bad for you I hear so many things about how it can give you cancer bc it releases a chemical when barbecued...sorry for so many questions...I refused the covid shot as well
Its amazing that what we believed growing up - we never questioned. And those institutions we trusted - understood that - very clearly.
I've had a weight problem most of my adult life, and at one point I hit 304 lb. I went on a modified high protein low carb diet. I say modified because my job made it hard to not eat carbohydrates. But even with a modified diet that included carbohydrates sometimes, I was able to lose 75 lb. It took about a year and a half, but it proved to me that a high protein low-carb diet actually does work. I have since had other things happen in my life that took me back to a '' normal'' diet and I topped out after about 10 years at 350 lb. I'm going to try the carnivore diet because I know that there are elements in it that actually do work. My biggest problem, right now, is the incredibly high price of beef, and all proteins for that matter.
I have found that the cost evens out, because your not buying all the other stuff.
And you can eat cheaper meats.
Im very fortunite to live in New Zealand and red meat is grass feed here.
Prices are high but as I said Im not buying any veges etc.
Very esay to shop once you get your head around it!
So easy to prep and cook meals.
All the best.
Im 8 weeks in now and doing well.
Have lost 6 kilos and counting!
I turned 70 years old on Nov 7 and have been on keto then carnivore since Jan. 2020. I have lost 65 pounds in that time and feel great. My blood pressure has lowered to normal levels without medication. Aching joints and bad knees have gone away. My skin looks healthier. I keep hoping Dr. Berry would do a video addressing seniors and the benefits of a carnivore lifestyle for the elderly. Seniors have a lot of fears around carnivore and the thought of perhaps leaving their prescribed medications behind.
@Paul Josey congrats! That's an awesome testimony. I'm so happy to hear this way of eating works for all ages.
Great suggestion!! Congratulations 🎉 on regaining your health! I’m doing the same!!
I'm a 74 young woman and started keto and carnivore plus intermediate fasting and I feel great about 6 months !!!
My biggest fear is getting constipated, already have irritable bowel. What are your experiences?
@@richardpickersgill3434 I have a bowel structural issue that makes daily greens/lettuces a necessity. I feel ur pain.
I'm 4 months into the carnivore way of eating, I see no reason to change as I love how much better the new me feels.
Drugs make you feel good too in the short term. Just saying.
@@jerseyjim9092 there’s people who have been on this diet for 15+ years. The labs support the diet. Drugs are not a comparison 🤦🏽♀️
Today is day 60. I look and feel way fucking better. Sleep better, more energy. All that shit is true. Meals are deelish and easy af. Invest in a Breville AirPro, a Ninja Foodi, and a chaffel maker. Drink bulletproof coffee and water with electrolytes. Have incredible sex with strange exotic women. Hey, it could happen!
SOOOOO refreshing to hear a sane consideration of diet and health, from another perspective....
Hey Dr. Berry - great video. Most helpful. As a candidiasis sufferer, I found this one VERY informative.
Liver cooked in bacon grease. That's what my aunt did for me. Love it. I have to be carniovre because my body won't handle veggies at all. I've been this way since I was a baby.
As a kid my mom prepared liver with gravy and rice. I love it, but now I prepare it fried
in bacon grease! It’s delicious!
Or gently cooked in lots of butter then blended with a stick blender into basic pate. People seem to be much less adverse to pate than straight liver (I love both) and pate seems like a great indulgence 💖
I just got diagnosed with a sucrose enzyme deficiency along with cannot eat vegetables or starches. This is the only way to eat.
I cut bacon into lardons and fry with some onion and the liver season with salt, pepper, and some dried thyme. Delicious. I don’t eat much of the onion. There’s lots of great pate receipes. I’ve been making it for 50 years using a generous amount of garlic and salt, some onion, brandy, thyme, black pepper, and blitzed in a food processor with an almost equal amount of melted butter. Pass through a sieve, allow to chill and pour over even more melted butter. In past years, I also put in the flesh of an apple. Since carnivore, I omit the apple and add a few drops of liquid stevia and a hint of ACV for brightness. Enjoy with Wisps or slices of bias cut zucchini. Wine, anyone? Only a tiny bit.
@@amieinnovascotia3237 thyme is one herb I can't handle, fresh or dried, it tastes like mold, but maybe I am the only thyme-less person🙂
Was at the Farm Market the other day. At the meat counter I asked for 3# of 80/20 and a couple of fatty steaks. Sounds crazy and a year ago I would have cringed. A lady (sadly obese) looked at me like I was nuts. I knew what she was thinking. I asked her If she wanted to see my six pack? I actually have a six pack. Used to have a party ball! Not kidding. I'm not a gym nut either. 59 years old and more active now than I was at 29. OMAD and IF is there way to go. Carnivore will get you motivated.
I know, ain't it cool? I want to tell every over weight person in the supermarket what to do.
lol, you your response, and yes, we want to see your six pack. Congrats.
Party ball!!!!haha I like it
Love your attitude and the way you teach, your very comforting and reassuring to listen to 😊
Thankyou for clearing this up.
I was on Tricor (Fenofibrate) and other lipid-lowering medicines for over 20 yrs to no avail. I've never been obese but just after starting the modified carnivore diet in December (I eat eggs, cheese and some veggies), my high cholesterol and tryglicerides are back to normal, no prescriptions! My VA Dr. asked me what I was doing different so I told her. Her response was that, what I was doing was 'dangerous' but she couldn't refute the results with any convincing explanation as all my CBC and Vitamin panels show EVERYTHING in the normal. Obviously, she want to retest in a month and I can't wait to see the results myself. I also lost 25 lbs I didn't know I could lose, lol. My sleep pattern is fixed, I'm able to sleep 8 hrs straight and no longer have to take an afternoon nap to make it to the end of the day and, my joints don't hurt as much as before. Honestly, I haven't felt this good since my 20s so, the nay-sayers be damned as far as I'm concern.
How did the retest go

I'm blown away by the nitrates/nitrites information. Wow. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this information Dr. Berry. I just started my carnivore journey and I love it! 😊
Dear Dr. Berry , I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help and information. Because of you I started the carnivore diet August 11th and so far I've lost 30 pounds. I was pre diabetic , out of breath walking short distances , and my blood pressure was through the roof . I'm happy to report that all of those things have changed for the better. Having a very bad back and hips, I needed to get the weight off of my joints. All other diets failed. For whatever reason I found it very hard to follow them and cheated a lot .I believe it was because I kept finding myself feeling hungry in between meals and I am a good cook and love food. With carnivore since I can eat whenever I want, I'm always full. Pork rinds and bacon and eggs are my new ice cream and cookies. I'm not going to lie , I have cheated twice since I started. Once was random because my nephew tempted me with these cookies I love and once on this Thanksgiving. However I got right back on the horse and I'm fine. I never noticed before how much my body swells up or bloats up when I eat carbs , it's unbelievable 😳. So thanks again. God bless
I hope my cousin Louie sees this. He started carnivore right after Thanksgiving. Hi Louie, Hi Robbin!
@@jselectronics8215 Good luck to Louie best diet ever. As long as he wants to lose the weight he can do it.
Hi Louie, Hi Robbin!
Tomsawyer, how are things going now 4 months later ? Still carnivore ? Have you reached your weight and walking goals yet ? I am still in my first month and am down 20 lbs so far with another 150 lbs to go.
@@kirkellis4329 Hello KW , Sorry to say that I royally screwed up and fell off the wagon. I did go from about 265 down to 225 as my final weight , only to give in to temptation. The truth is , that I recently moved from a very secluded , remote area , to Florida where there are un believable amounts of all my favorite foods ( ice cream ) , and I kind of lost control. I've gotten back on the wagon, and although I didn't get back up to the 260's , I am up in the 240's range . It's terrible. More than ever I realize the importance of getting to a healthy weight. This diet works. It will work for me. Thank you for asking KW.

This is my first week of carnivore, I have tried to prepare myself mentally. I have more than enough meat in my freezer to last for a while. Can't deny that I am not still nervous about the LDL thing. I have been dealing with a skin condition for 17 years and nothing has done any good. I refuse to do biologics after Humaira made me ill. Over the past two years I found out about fasting/keto. I have watched so many of your videos.. I am not full blown keto more like moderate carb. I have managed to loose 67 lbs and keep it off. Some of my skin tags went away but my psoriasis stayed the same. Migraines/joint pain/nerve pain reduced a lot but psoriasis remains. I will post at a later date and let the community know how it is going. Will be watching more of the many videos you have.
How has it been going?
How has it been going?
I just started on the carnivore diet a day ago and I appreciate you taking the time to allay some fears. One suggestion I have that I think would lend much more weight to the defense if the diet is to provide links to empirical evidence and studies you mention. As a general rule, I try to stay away from anecdotal evidence and would love to have cold hard facts gathered in one place about it.
I work with natural products and if we researchers stayed away from anedoctal evidences I'd say modern day medicine would not be a trllion dolar branch of the economy.
I just did a hair analysis test. Showed up as copper toxicity & aluminum toxicity, hormone imbalance, estrogen dominant, my levels weren’t where they are supposed to be. The doctor who I spoke with advised me to do the carnivore diet, and to supplement with a few things.
I am taking on this carni journey at 23 years old because I want to achieve optimal health! Fingers crossed! Going to follow your tips!
@Makayla Williams , you are going to love it and feel amazing ! Enjoy
How are you doing with now?? Are you still on it??

You should make yourself known to the carnivore youtubers. They value evidence 10 years and older because it's scarce. 40 years is huge.
Please start making videos
you look at least 60 in this picture. stop lying
I started carnivore (slightly modified because I have a nursing baby) a few days ago and instantly felt so much better day one. Way way more energy and no fluttery heart or mood swings for two days which was an every day occurrence for years.
This diet helped my brother who almost had to quit his job due to inflammation! 3 months on this diet and he lost 20 lbs, no more pain, sleeps way better, helped his gums from bleeding, his adhd is gone!!!
Dr Berry - lack of experience, knowledge, doubt and fear have been my biggest obstacles... Carnivore 6 months now...am not going back. Thks v much for all the tremendous inspiration and support on this journey. I am way better and feel great. God bless. 🙏

Do you only eat meat , no yoghurt eggs fruit anything else
My 7 month journey has been amazing. Weight loss(down 85#), high energy, no aches or pains that had been with me for 10+ years. I have Lymphdema is getting better and reducing (which I was told there is not cure or improvement - only maintenance) I am medication free! So many thanks to the community for being there for this! I try telling people about this all the time trying to get them to improve their health but Social Conditioning on eating is a large giant to slay for them. I have to wonder, when people get informed and they can see results in me and others that they still, refuse to even consider it. Its like they want to feel bad and get sick...
After most of the public bought the public health authorities’ Covid fear stories hook, line, and sinker, is it still a surprise that they also believe the diet advice?
Yep. Sugar and carbs are their “gods”
What would you rather have? Good health or a donut? Sadly, many people can't envision life without that donut and won't even try. Good for you for making the choice for health!
❤Good video. My husband has a mild case of cancer in the prostate. We started the carnivore diet yesterday in hopes of curing it. He has a check up in 6 months. December.
This is maddening! Thank you, I love this, and all the arguments, man! Im on a keto-diet, but should try this out soon enough.
Thank you Dr. Berry for this video, especially sharing testing on the healthy microbiome on a carnivore diet. When trying a new way of eating, it's very reassuring to have concerns like this addressed. I was shocked that my gut would survive without fiber, but sure enough, no problems! Feeling much better with this way of eating.
the reason why i know all meat is bad for you has been ignored by this video and instead it is talking about poop and its just for views. its is a scam video and does not talk about what too much protein will do to you
I'm just waiting for all the family lectures at Christmas when I decline tortillas, beans, and rice! I may break down and enjoy a tamale though.

I spent six days with Mom over Thanksgiving, gained six pounds. Stuffing, sweet potatoes, ice cream, cookies, etc. Back on carnivore today.
Life is to be enjoyed at least a little. At the end of life we wont say "I'm glad I never ate sugar or a carb"..however if we can 90/ of the time eat foods that agree with our bodies and make us feel good but 10% eat to "enjoy"...should be a good balance without feeling restriction too much
The movement is unstoppable. Truth will prevail...

I’m a type 2 diabetic, 53 years old and a former Chef. I went off keto/carnivore and tried the vegan diet for 4 weeks. Well.....my glucose went through the roof, my blood pressure went from about 124/78 up to 153/88. Everything about the vegan diet was just horrible for me. I’m now back on the carnivore diet 90% and non starchy veg 10%. I’m feeling 1000% better.
Carnivores usually have sodium on everything. Wasn't the sodium it was the carbs.
It’s insulin related … watch lowcarbdownunder RUclips video on cholesterol (blood tests & insulin)… he explains it well.
Seems to me a lot of carbs give you an addictive kick that most people just take for granted and assume is notmal and a sigh "it's good for you." And have you noticed that EVERY addict's favorite pasttime is to tell everyone the "health benefits" of their drug of choice?" I'm convinced that addiction to numerous high-carb ingredients is a near-universal epidemic, perhaps even pandemic, and almost 100% of the population are i addict's denial and lying to themselves and reinforcing and supporting eachothers' such lies.
Which veg?
Did you faced any constipation issue? If yes, how u r tackling with that?
I am so excited at 70 ( female) to go carnivore since I have always been what my husband calls a meatasauraus!!! I would love to lose about 7 pounds to feel great and now I know I will!!! Gonna have myself a big cheese omelette this morning (we raise our own chickens) and top with sour cream ❤️
Thats great . So with carnivore one eats only animal products like yoghurt egg meat cheese right
The one thing on this list that genuinly had me worried a bit was the nitrite thing.
Will watch your videos on that asap

As with any diet, sometimes you will have friends and family that strangely won't support you. They'll have negative things to say to try and discourage you. I've had a couple of 'friends' who would have things to say, like when you order something low carb and healthy, they'll say, 'are you trying to make ME look bad with what I ordered? Like WHAT? It's almost as if they feel threatened by you for improving yourself!
As far as short term immediate digestive changes- I’ve been testing carnivore for about 10 days now, and my poops are literally the healthiest I’ve ever seen them. No diarrhea (which I normally get eating fruit & veg)…long solid logs one time per day like clockwork. I was kind of shocked! I usually get gas constantly…no gas so far eating only eggs, butter, and beef. While I am still skeptical of the long term impact, I can’t just write this off, and I am doing my research. 👍

Two things happened about the same time for me, I went from a high physical activity lifestyle to a employment position of mostly sitting. I gained about 50 pounds of inflammation on my body.I couldn’t diet the inflammation away, so I went to an internist, after many expensive blood tests and procedures; her end diagnosis was obese with high blood pressure. Never once did she offer any advice how to help me rid myself of this painful inflammation. I started doing my own research, yes I played doctor. eventually, I found Dr. Barry and followed his advice started the carnivore diet and have since lost 20 pounds almost effortlessly. Thank you Dr. Barry for offering life changing advice for those of us that went to the expensive so-called experts!

I bought it, and I bought several types of high quality salt. I take as much salt as I want. My blood pressure is perfect. My salt level in the blood as well.

And I believe her saved my life. I am on several blood pressure medicines and I was on a completely no salt, sodium of any kind the doctor says if I have any it will kill me. I found now that I can have salt in my meats and I like making chili with canned tomato sauce and canned tomato paste in canned diced tomatoes and( Oh my goodness they’re all loaded with salt) LOL and I’ve been feeling great. I am not a wealthy man and I can’t afford a lot of the high-end meats but I’ve switched over to eating meats and I feel great I just want to say thank you I appreciate your information and I have shared your videos and information with so many people. They do laugh at me and say this is all propaganda and I tell him believe what they want they can see how much weight I’ve lost. Which I’ve actually lost 70 pounds in six months. So thank you, thank you, thank you and God be with you and bless you. Please keep making the great videos.
Dr Berry thank you so much.

I was on keto and then, because i really had no cravings went on to OMAD However, i was so ill and getting over the transition just never happened. Weeks went by and I was about to give up, when i saw a video on salt. I have always been told it was bad for you. So..I increased my intake, drank water with salt in, sprinkled it liberally on my food....Within a day or so I felt better. night cramps went away and at last it seemed the keto and omad were giving me the benefits i had been promised.
Thanks, Dr Berry. I was literally thinking about 5 or 6 of those things today, since i've just started this lifestyle a few days ago. It's like you read my mind. Thank you, Sir.
So was I! I'm trying to get on-board for the sake of my autoimmune situation.

@@kld75Yep. Still going. I feel normal and if I do have a meal where I eat carbs, I end up feeling poorer for it. Just tells me that carnivore is what my body needs to feel normal.
Such great info! ... Thanks!
Doc. Love your videos. I started carnivore 5 weeks ago. Started at 226 and reached my goal weight of 199. Hallelujah! The best thing of all is my blood pressure dropped dramatically and I have been off of meds for 2 weeks now. My question is this, no matter what I eat from steak/burger/bacon/eggs, I am now pretty constantly having diarrhea. What can I do to stop? Just eat steak for a while. Help please.
Eating too much or saying to high fat ratio.
If you are overweight aim for a 70% protein 30% fat.
@@englishescapism And remember, that's calorie percentage, not grams percentage.
@@dahlumski88 I hope that goes without saying lol
also dont eat liquified fat/grease only eat solid fat, cold butter, etc.
just started carnivore a couple days ago.. My husband never feels good always sore.. rough time breathing from his big hard belly.. He is already feeling better!! i have no issues just wanted to lose 30 lbs.. i was always afraid to do this but were sticking with it! thank you Dr. Berry!!
Dr. Berry, You really are a true Doctor. (So many are not these days). Tomorrow will be day 7 of carnivore for me. Already have a noticeable loss of weight. Haven't had much of an appetite, but I try to have one good meal a day at least. Diarrhea has been a slight problem,
but I guess once the metabolism adjusts my gut will normalize. Might be because I'm still
drinking coffee in the morning.. Bought an air fryer and so far it is the perfect way to cook meat in the house. My goal is to just get and stay healthy. I look around and see so many who are lifelong carb addicts and see all the maladies they endure...heartbreaking. ..(literally)...
Frankly, if I never see another doctor again,, (other than you), it will be just fine. Thanks
Good Luck!
This doctor is a LEGEND BLESS YOU THANK YOU
I’m 62 and had a pretty good diet most of my life, I was bought up on lard and butter, It’s easy to get into what the locals are eating though, pick up bad habits etc, so I checked out this carnivore way of eating, as I love crackling from roasted pork and steaks, this all makes sense to me, so three days ago, I started, feel tired, but feeling lighter already. Today, along with my eggs, bacon and liver that I’ve already eaten, I had my first coffee and some chocolate, wow, that was good. Back on board tomorrow. Thanks for this video.
Carnivore 2 years and I’ve never pooped this great 👍
I read that as you never 💩 in 2 years and this is great.
I've been carnivore for about 2 months now. My gut has never been so problem-free and feeling great as it is on carnivore. Its awesome.
As dr Berry said " poop like a champion"!!😁😁👍
Pictures please 😂😂😂
I don’t think I could eat enough meat to get constipated. I wish I could.
I am SO SO SO much less swollen and achey and FAT since going from SAD -> KETO -> carnivore last year. I occasionally eat avocados, and I do drink coffee. Other than that, I have no use for plants whatsoever.
Feed the plants to the animals then you can eat them 😂
Glad you feel good !!Best wishes to you!!👍🙏🌹
I have terrible inflammation! Will this get rid of the inflammation?
Pamela Taylor yes, check out Mikel's Pedersen's videos , and Low Carb Down Under, lots of science on carnivore diets reducing all inflammation , plus Dr Berry and Dr Paul Mason and Dr Osborne, all on RUclips, so much free education. Good luck!
No one seems to comment on refined sugars, trans fats, processed meat or MRM, aspartame-riddled fizzy drinks etc then suddenly it’s a heart attack waiting to happen if we switch to meat?!
Just started on the new year. Been keto for a couple years. I’m giving it a month or two. We’ll see how I feel. Thanks
