i am disabled in a wheelchair, since 1999 i am 36 years old i have been following your channel since july of 2020 being close to 400 pounds a1c of 7.8 from then till june 2023 i lost 200 pounds my a1c was finally under 6.0, we made a huge move from Wisconsin to Texas i fell off the wagon during the move however now i lost 50 more pounds and working on my a1c that went back up now it is going back down. reason why we moved was for my health i couldn't take the cold and being stressed out by my environment, i couldn't move my legs much up north now being here and eating better i am moving so much better i am praying to be able to walk again! i Thank Jesus for leading me to your channel when my main dr in wisconsin was trying to push pills on me when i told her i will eat right she laughed at me and said just take the pills and be happy hun. i prayed for a way to get healthy then i saw your channel.
My thoughts exactly... Then I realize how sick I was ,and that this is what healing an recovery feels like. Thank you so much Dr Berry, You have saved my life. My doctor is very happy 😊
I just had ultrasound on the joints in my hands, I was referred six months ago when my hands were swollen, red and painful with suspected arthritis. While waiting for test dates, I began keto and l've been carnivore for two months now. My inflammation has drastically reduced. During the ultrasound, I was asked about my diet. They found one joint with inflammation, and I was told that this is because I was eating TOO MUCH red meat and that I should reduce this. I confidently replied by telling her that I have inflammation in ONLY one joint BECAUSE I've been eating red meat! She responded that red meat causes inflammation, and that I should eat a balanced diet. I asked for the source of her claim, and to explain what a balanced diet is? She didn't know the source, and told me that it's difficult to say what a balanced diet is. You could feel the atmosphere change instantly, despite me being respectful. You could not make this sh*t up!
I hate the terms "balanced" and "moderation". It means absolutely nothing because it's undefined. Why is it somehow better to eat harmful stuff with the good stuff instead of just eliminating the harmful stuff?🤔
"You could feel the atmosphere change instantly" Well spotted. "It's easier to fool people than convince them they've been fooled". Too many people will defend wrong beliefs to the death rather than admit they've been fooled.
@@renyfornow9570 Now just replace eating with drinking, smoking or other addictions. Moderate smoking Moderate alcohol Moderate _____ fill in name of drug. Doesn’t sound so logical anymore, right?
Well 2006 I went vegan. My heart could not decide which rhythm to follow. My kidneys went on vacation. My lungs found out that oxygen is overrated. So does it surprise anyone that I ended up in the hospital? So decided to take all official guidelines by the FDA upside down. My food is mix of fish meat eggs organ meat with some fermented veggies in between. After 10 years of heavy medications due to diabetes… I got rid of all medications … bottom line stay away from carbs
I couldn't get ny wife pregnant for 20 years. Then I went on carnivore and was able to grow a beard fir the first time in my life (at 48) and because we were used to not using protection,my wife got pregnant at 38. Unfortunately she lost it, but we are now both on 90% carnivore and have changed our lives.
thank you for your testimony it gives me hope since my husband and i really want kids however all the drs we see told us it is too late for us since i am 36 years old
@@sjf8305 Definitely not too old. I'm an 80 year old - my mum had my brother at 42 and me 16 months later. As you can imagine, that was long before the medical advances of today. Good luck.
I told my former doctor, right before she kicked me out for not taking every pill she shoved at me even though I lost a butt ton of weight and reversed my pre-diabetes, "No one can feel this great and be sick."
@@kathycallahan6810 that's because they realize now that they wasted $250,000.00+ on an "education" that they could've gotten at the local library including $1.50 in late charges. 😂😂😂😂😂
We must see the same doctor LOL! My doc absolutely hates me since I stopped eating all the pills she wants me to take, 4 different bp meds, mental health meds etc.
64 years old, carnivore, eggs and natural Greek yoghurt. I have to keep reminding myself that I am not 40 anymore but that's how I feel. Lost 30 kilograms and don't take any medication for anything. If it works don't fix it !
"Problem" is, carnivore diet is far less sustainable for food industry, that is why people spread bad information. In carnivore diet- there is no addiction like sugar- sugar is added in almost everything, vegetarian meals too, there is far less variety for food company to make bigger profit, people dont crave or over-eat on plain meat like they do cakes or burgers with lot of additives and excess salt. Always look who funded those researches, mostly food companies, and they would never fund something they know it will show bad image for them, its already fixed to give people misinformation.
I told my endocrinologist that I was going to do the carnivore diet, he said red meat increases insulin resistance and to eat mostly chicken and fish. I did not argue with him and just eat mostly beef. In 3 months, my a1c has gone from 8 down to 6.6 and I have lost 40 pounds somewhere I hope I never find again. From 401 lbs down to 361 lbs. I am going to continue with this.
That's good to hear. My hospital diabetes dietician told me I wasn't eating enough carbs and that I would lose muscle. After 2.5 years on low carb, and now eating a lot more meat that I have ever done, I've proved her wrong.
Ken you are a resilient dude. Having to fight the powers that be has to be difficult. Thank you for your commitment to educating us and being the best doctor you can be.
I've started the Carnivore Diet about two months ago. I've lost 11 pounds and all the weird bumps and skin "acne" around the back of my arms and face have gone away. Even my wife can't believe it. Her and her family always worry about my health because of all the rest meat... I feel great!
Dr Berry - Thank you. I haven’t been able to drop the last 20 pounds of my twin baby weight since their birth in 2013. After only ONE month of just following your advice and not obsessing about calories and portion size and - 1. Eating the best meat I can afford, including red meat, pork, chicken (and some shrimp and tuna thrown in) 2. Eating only full fat dairy (as a compliment to a meal not the main thing) and 3. Eating the green vegetables on your approved list with full fat homemade dressing - I have lost 11 lbs. No hunger. No cravings. Sleeping SO much better and no afternoon energy slumps. I’m Just eating what I love until full and happy. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel to not ONLY finally slimming down but even MORE- sleeping BETTER than I have in YEARS and having more energy than ever. I need energy and sleep since I homeschool two kiddos full-time and run an online business and podcast..! This way of eating is truly a revelation. My son is an 11 year Type One Diabetic and I have shown him your videos too. He has been switching to savory meat based breakfasts ( NO MORE oatmeal and smoothies!!) and his Dexcom CGM readings are so steady it’s incredible!! I tell ya, when I first showed him some of your Carnivore videos he wasn’t too sure, but after a few days he told me, “Dr. Berry seems like he’s onto something here about meat and glucose levels..” 😂😂 This lady and her son just want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you do ❤ I’ll update you!
@jenniferchristopherson , My 12 year old daughter was just diagnosed with diabetes about a month ago. We just found out the past week that she’s type 2. Before all of the testing came back to confirm that they were treating her as a type 1. The endocrinologist thought there was no way she was a type 2. She got a Dexcom g7. Is your sons Dexcom accurate? We had been depending on it and going by it until the last one we put on last week. We started using the meter and comparing it and it’s consistently been 20-30 off or more. I’m not sure if it was user error or what.
I’m a colon cancer survivor I mostly ate fish and chicken and sweets and was extremely stress started keto/ carnivore best I have felt just started red meat. Thanks Dr
After going carnivore 4 years ago and feel so much better I no longer care what the studies or the science says. My own trial and error on myself is all that counts for.
I'm feeling the same way. People telling me that you have to eat fibre, eat the rainbow, need carbs (hospital diabetes dietician told me that I wasn't eating enough carbs and would lose muscle - I've proved her wrong), you shouldn't eat too much bacon etc etc etc. I'm listening to my body now. I've been low carb for 2.5 years and starting increasing the meat about 6 months ago. I'm noticing quite quickly when I've eaten something that makes my arthritis hurt. And when that happens it's makes that food much less appealing!
Most nutrition studies are just marketing at this point, funded by the industry or questionable organizations, the quality often laughable if you take a closer look how they're done
I have been strict carnivore for a year now and it has been amazing! I had to cut off some family members, my sister in law is a doctor, and I have two family members that are nurses, and all three are 100% brainwashed into all the lies, I'm sick or arguing with them and dealing with their negative criticisms.
I am FINALLY ok with people walking away and when they throw the veggies/fruit way to eat, I no longer argue. You are not going to change their mind. Life is too short to fight thst battle. 🎉🎉🎉
One of my friends who is a doctor,l told him that humans don't need to eat any carbohydrates,we just eating meat is best for our health,he was a bit angry and upset about my view is different from him, what l hurt his pride,he tried to change my mind but I ignored him,he is a strong believer in studying medical in university
I totally get u, I share a house with some family members n they r completely against me eating carnivore… they always try to trick me into eating vegetables 😂
Maybe you should listen to SOME criticism. Carnivore diet is not a miracle cure diet. It just massively lowers carbs and so you fix all issues you have associated with carbs. But it does not mean the meat is doing anything particular, it just means you are now within acceptable carbs levels. So, you can start by adding a fruit before your meat now for a month like Kiwis, blueberries, raspberries and see if you feel even better or worse (you'll be better guaranteed)
I have been following a Dr. Berry, Chaffee, Shawn Baker, and Steak&Butter Gal for over a year. Even shared info or supporting thoughts to friends and family. Of course, since I had not gone full keto or even carnivore…I am overweight and no one listens. People are not interested unless I succeed first then share. I have been gradually reducing carbs over past year…and past few months increasing meat in my diet, and crowding out carb foods. I finally have gone for 2 days with zero carbs, and nothing but meat, water, and some cheese on burger patties made at home. Dropping carbs is big challenge for me. Last 2 days are only time in my life to go a day without carbs. My transition is long, cause it is not easy transition for me. But, my slow process is working for me…Thank the Keto leaders. Best of luck to anyone trying to make this dietary change. I am convinced from the influencers it is a way to improve health and strength.
Yes a strict carnivore can reverse diabetes type 2. However it should be noted and the information propagated that it is not the only way to do it. :-))
Yes, was on metoprolol, Valsartan, amilodopin and clonidine patch. Blood pressure got too low, so doc had me quit all but 1/2 dose of Metropolol. Now normal bp.
Dr Ken I been eating red meat all my 62 years. I love it and will never stop eating it. I am healthy take no pharmaceutical drugs work out regularly.I do eat some fruit with my carnivore diet.Probably because I own a blueberry farm.Keep up the good work I enjoy your videos.
@@CarisaRaePersonally, I save sweets for birthdays and holidays and stick to steamed veggies, baked potatos, whole wheat tortillas, oatmeal, rice, protein pancakes and protein waffles, and whole grain pasta for my carbs while my proteins are mostly beef, bison, chicken, turkey sausage, and eggs.
Hi Dr Berry - I'm in Cornwall UK and a huge fan of yours. I doubt you'll read this but I thought you may be interested in a short radio play I listened to by the great John Buchan (great novelist). Written in a time when you were allowed to be a patriot and proud of your country of birth. The play is called Sick Silent River and tells the story of a aging lawyer who is given a year to live and decides to go travelling in North America. To cut a long story short he ends up eating nothing but Caribou and blow me if he doesn't get better. Its a brilliant adventure story told as only John Buchan can. Well worth a listen as all his books are. Thank you for all you do. Much appreciated.
Had a cerebellum stroke 2017@44 yrs (mis diagnosed for 3 days) while active duty. Had ED since. needed a cane to walk, ended up with a load of issues after. June 2022 I went full carnivore. Most all ailments gone, no more meds and ED gone (ED gone in less than 6mo). No more cane needed to walk. Carnivore literally saved my life. My military doc hate it, but I just ignore and no longer pickup the statins or BP meds.
I like stories like yours. So glad you're on the mend. While I've always been carnivore I also took in a lot of sugars and carbs and really felt I was aging. After I ditched most of the sugars and carbs I can now crawl under cars again, lift motors or transmissions, get on ladders (getting ready to repaint the house) and do things not all 67 year olds can. Life is good .
I did carnivore as an eliminated and after 6 momths of great results I simply stuck to eliminating everything off the carnivore diet lol. Meat and eggs are king!
Like so many others here, eating mostly fatty red meat (almost 5 years now) eliminated gum disease, IBS, acne, excess fat, arthritis, hair loss, reduced BP and so much more! I now get constant complements on my skin, which, after a lifetime of being embarrassed by my acne, still gets me emotional. Whenever I stray and reintroduce any form of processed carbs (like my favourite pizza when eating out with friends) or fibrous veggies (like broccoli), I get arthritis and gut issues again.
Yes, if I eat corn it flares my joint pain. Wheat flares my whole digestive tract from reflux, to a stomach ache and diarrhea. Grateful to know what's bad for me but sometimes sad I can't enjoy those foods at all anymore.
Thank you so much for your educational video. Listening to other RUclipsr saying red meat and bacon will give you cancer so I have tried not to eat any until listening to you and now I am feeling more comfortable. Thanks
Seven mos ago, after my third stage 4 breast cancer surgery, double mastectomy. I started eating anything I wanted, mostly ice cream everyday. Then I get cancer free card. Crap!!! A1c 7.3. D x with type 2 diabetes. I ran across you on Utube, started carnivore diet with a tad of luttuce. A1c dropped to 6.1 without the Metformin which I refused to take. It only took 3mos. Still going for lower A1c. Bless you.
The way I knew you could be trusted was when you admitted you had been wrong all these years about what it really took to get on the road to better health and having first hand experience in testing that road out due to your own health challenges and Neisha’s as well. Thank you for giving us the truth.
Something bad is going to happen to your health if you go Carnivore, from a health " professional's " perspective....you will no longer be a meal ticket for them to write prescriptions for. I started the cleansing Lion diet 3 weeks ago, and have lost 12 lbs, and dropped over 20 points on BP, causing me to safely discontinue all meds. There are a host of other positive health changes no need to go into detail on, and ZERO negative ones. I'm just scratching the surface, and at a starting weight of 287 to have this many changes for the better in 3 weeks, I know I'm on the right path.
Any cortisol spikes? I'm having a hard time as I recently tried to incorporate some carbs but apparently went about it too fast and it messed me up. Anxiety and depression through the roof.
@@jond230 The Lion diet is nothing but beef, or meat from any animal with hooves and a chambered stomach, salt, and water/electrolytes. It's a cleansing diet that in about 90 days should clear all the sugar/toxins/crap out of your system and allow you to slowly reintroduce the Carnivore diet which adds bacon, butter, and eggs. Carbs are an absolute no go, as are plants, fruits, nuts, especially SUGAR. The first couple of weeks can be a bit tough which the electrolytes help with. You either go in to this diet committed, or don't go at all. Carbs are something you may try about a year down the road, if you're serious about taking control of your health. Sounds like your body is letting you know carbs are trash.
I have been carnivore for just over three weeks and can already see the difference. I am sleeping a bit better and my pain is less severe than it was. I am amazed that the body can do so much healing in less than a month. My weight is normal, but at the high end of what is ideal for my body type, but I have still dropped a couple of pounds. I am eating two meals a day and loving it!
I did carnivore for 3 months and it was amazing. But then when I hit the 4th month, I started doing long endurance sports like 2 hours walking, and an hour swimming. After a month my body finally could not take it anymore. I had heart palpitation, could not sleep for 2 days, my head felt like I was walking on the cloud. I thought I was going to have a heart attack or stroke, I went to ER and got two tubes of vitamins shots into my body, rest for 3 hours in ER bed, nurse took my EKG. I felt so weak. The EKG result came out and my heart is perfect! My body slowly recovering during those 3 hours. Doctor gave me a few vitamins and some medicines (I forgot the name, but those were for my digestions system). Doctor never told me what I had. She just said I needed to eat balance diet😢 I went home and rest for 2 days. And I felt good again. So my conclusion was I was running out of sugar, and I did long long long hours of endurance training on 99% carnivore diet! I probably have to intervere my diet with occasionally having carbs (like complex carbs or carbs from fruits such as carnivore Paul saladino does ?) if I am doing long endurance sports. Right now I am in a mesa again because after that insident I was forced to get back to normal standard diet (eat lots of carbs and junks food😮). I have now high uric acid on my blood, high LDL cholesterol and sometimes high blood pressure. So, I am going back to be carnivore again but with some adjustment as I love my endurance training.
We have an associate who at age 45 developed colon cancer . Post op he was told no red meat , low fat high amounts of broccoli etc . He is sick all the time with colds , digestive issues etc . But there is no way he would listen to us such is the tyranny of my doctor said mantra ….

@@denofpigs2575Seeing those you love essentially hurting themselves is very painful. Some people don’t believe that a delicious food is good for you. Butter versus margarine. It has been delightful for me to find out that butter is a healthy food! Margarine doesn’t taste good to me anymore. Remember that Dr. Berry says that at the end of the day your father is grown and will make his own decisions. You can only lead by example. This is hard. Some of my own family think I am nuts for eating the proper human diet.
My cardiologist took the time tell me that I should consume red meat and other animal protein. Stay from white bread and other simple carbohydrates. You Sir and my cardiologist are wise men. Your advice is sound. Thank you for sharing expertise on the subject. And enjoyed your video lecture immensely.
I started the carnivore "diet" on Jan 1st 2024 I weighed 275 pounds at 5'-7'. To this date Oct 22 2024 with limited exercise, push ups and walking mostly, I have lost 110 pounds. I have never felt better in my life and I'm 60. I plan on continuing this life style .
I will be 70 this year and with you, I have lost 70 pounds, lost blood pressure pills, a statin, lowered my cholesterol, my A1C went from 6,5 to 5.4, in the last 18 months, and with SI joint issues I have done this while sitting in my recliner off and on threw the day. I do garden my own veggies and we eat heavy meat, and animal fats with a few low-carb veggies, not totally carnivores but ketovores. My husband found you, he has lost 120 pounds, and also lost blood pressure pills, statins, and metformin with A1C 6.4 to 5.5 after he was diagnosed with PAD and caught a way to become healthier! He is 65. I have added iodine drops. Thanks, Dr. Berry!
It's absolutely ridiculous that they say Red meat causes colon cancer. My uncle died of colon cancer. He never ate red meat unless it was in a processed, cling wrapped- TV dinner.
That's the problem stuff, anything that comes packaged that you can just put in the microwave. Processed rubbish is the cause of cancer. I'm sorry for your loss.

Botany 101 all plants are toxic, they do not want to be eaten. Brussel Sprouts have 139 carcinogens, white mushrooms have 100. Our ancestors used agriculture as starvation foods they knew how to prepare them. Only pick vine ripe tomatoes blanch them and peel them, cut them and remove the seeds, removing a lot of the toxins. Blue berries and strawberries are less toxic, carnivore parents allow their children to have some. Sally K Norton Toxic Superfoods.

Today has been 4.5 months on strict carnivore, I'm officially down 70lbs! I'm not looking back, Dr Berry's channel has been a big part in helping me along!
I'm so lucky for 43 years. The first was Atkins, then ketovore. I'm in great health. No meds will be 70 years young, no meds. So 43 years ago, a heart doctor in Ocean City, NJ, put me on a road of great health. No surgeries.
Almost eight months carnivore! I just lost ten more pounds! I feel amazing! Reversed fatty liver, diabetes and diverticulitis. Plus a long list of wins!! Carnivore for life🥩💪
Its more attributed to elimination of sugar, and ultra processed carbs which come packed with lot of artificial additives. Protein is used for muscle, calcium for bones and iron for blood cells, meat has lot of these and these are main elements to go thru day and to give you energy, not enough protein- muscle cant regenerate enough after work or exercise.
Keto/Carnivore 5 years. Reversed pre diabetes, reduced inflammation, reduced triglycerides, lost 50 lbs. Cleared brain fog, changed my mood, reduced anxiety and depression. Life changing. Thankfully there are those with a platfrom to tell the virtues of an animal based proper human diet. No one listens to me when I simply answer their question, how did I lose the fat? I also OMAD and do a three day fast every five weeks. People look at me like I have two heads. 62 and ripped. I must be doing it wrong.
Could you give some suggestions for good resources/youtubers etc to begin learning and making life style changes with keto/carnivore diet? I've had some success with inflammation pain with IF but still struggling with some other autoimmune symptoms and carnivore/keto keeps cropping up... thanks!
Its just like telling people about power of herbs instead of man made medicines that cause more problems. It just seems to go in one ear and out the other
I grew up vegetarian and never ate meat and we were eating “Wheat meat” aka phony balognia.. but I was always sick and had stomach aches the doctors said were from my being emotional… I was being abused in worst way possible… my mom was angry at me for having stomach aches… but no one made the connection that I had Crohn’s disease and later was DX with having Ehlers Danlos
Hello, fellow zebra! 👋 I’m getting into Carnivore to try to help my medical conditions: EDS, MCAS, POTS, Chiari I Malformation, small fiber neuropathy, and more. Good luck to you!
I Just wanted to say thank you. Because watching your videos has helped me so much. After six weeks, I had my blood work, and my testosterone went from 120 to 393 and my triglycerides from 365 to 96. Ihave lost 25lbs, I feel great and have so much energy now. Eating the things I love the most and being more healthy has been amazing.
Unfortunately my fat and diabetic friends, and my wife with kidney disease, are not even willing to entertain the thought that what they "know" and what their dieticians tell them, might not be true.

Your doctor is mad because she gets cash kickbacks from the drug companies and you're not helping in that. Good for you dear lady.

Im 53, turning 54 in a few weeks. As a child I was anemic and our country doctor told me Mother red meat every day and lots of leafy greens. To this day, I eat lean red meat frequently. My cholesterol is great, Im no longer anemic and people often tell me they can't believe my age. My Mom was a type 2 diabetic and her dr insisted she cut back on red meats, and she did as told. She died of heart disease st the age of 52. ...
I'll give my observational. My parents grew up during the depression and ate just enough to stay alive. But after they were married and dad survived WWII, they worked hard but ate whatever they wanted and as much as tgey wanted. That includes red meat and bacon. The two of them would polish off an entire pound of bacon at a time. They never had cancer or heart attacks and they lived into their late 80's. Oh, that bacon fat fried up a lot of potatoes ❤
Wow nice. Bacon in the morning and sometimes alternate with sausage. Yes I fry my potatoes in bacon fat. The aroma in the kitchen is awesome. Been doing it since I was a kid. Thank goodness we have a produce market where I pay about half for potatoes than what the grocery stores want.
I think red meat is the best! I do believe we have to be careful what we eat and where itt comes from. There is lab meat, mRNA injected meat, grain fed meat etc.
Cattle are grass-fed. Some are grain-finished in feed lots. The fatty-acid profile of grain-finished beef is nearly identical to that of beef from cattle that were not grain-finished. I eat grain-finished beef because I find that since it is fattier it tastes better and is much less expensive.
DR. Berry, Would you mind doing a video on nutritional bio-availability of the foods that you recommend eating? And maybe educate us on some of the nutrient families that go together and what nutrients cancel others out? ie: Calcium + Vit. D3, But Calcium will cancel out magnesium... etc.
I can pretty much guess with a high level of accuracy that I probably ate a ribeye or a large hamburger one year ago today because I eat red meat just about every day. Ideal body weight, great blood markers, and reversed type 2 diabetes over last 4 years.
I am so frustrated with all the bad press about the carnivore diet. I simply mentioned that I have been on a carnivore diet in my work lunch room so I didn’t want the donuts and the reaction made me feel like a leper… after all the lectures about how unhealthy it is🤦♀️
I sympathise with you. I am very careful who I reveal my woe to, for fear of disapproval, but ultimately I feel sorry for all those people who are still believing the lies we’ve been told over the past 60 years.
Talked to a new hire at work. Type 1 diabetes. They didn’t even know that their kidney problems are a result refused a cgm. Told the doctor that they’re doing the best they can. Resigned to being sick 😢

They say red meat is the problem when it’s processed and worse yet ultra processed foods , I gave those up for a diet , I hardly lost much weight but felt tons better when I gave up the junk foods after a week , gradually lost weight and felt even better
I have been studying nutrition and how it impacts biology for a long time. But I was deceived by the system as well. Just recently I woke up and started actually treating my body right and realizing that they were lying about everything. The more research I do the more I know the more I realize that people do not care or want to know anything.
I think a a lot of people are often shocked to know countries with mostly slender people that eat a lot of rice and vegetables actually have pretty high rates of Type 2 diabetes, especially China & India. I think they have higher rates of diabetes per capita than the US. My friend is an older Vietnamese lady and she has diabetes and she barely eats meat, just seafood mostly. She eats steamed rice, fresh rolls made from rice paper, sometimes she makes fried spring rolls, and eats fruit.
So far I haven't overcome my sugar/carb addiction... But I have increased my meat consumption... Especially red meat and eggs. Anyone feel much better than before doing this? Yes I know I need to kick the addictions. I have not given up... Just not there yet.
@terryhawkes3367 I also have a huge sweet tooth and have trouble kicking sugar. I will say, though, since I started eating more eggs and steak and bacon, I have fewer sugar "attacks". Hope this helps. Hang tough.
When I first heard about the carnivore diet I assumed it was some crazy idea that would probably kill you. Even small changes like more red meat, less carbs and less vegetables is surprisingly good for you.
These red meat lies are so ingrained into society. I'm 7+ years of Ketovore with fatty red meats, i shock all friends and family with my health and weight loss. Yet, they will still comment that I'm eating too much red meat.
I make all my food on pig lard, eggs and meat, much better and natural than plant oils that were used in last century for oiling machines and now as food. Also, if someone is concerned about quality od meat in stores- get fish, even canned tuna, its also quality meat. Also, meat from wild boar, deer etc, might be expensive but at least you know it ate natural food.
My wife and I started a carnivore diet nine months ago. We have both lost 30 lbs. Our energy levels have greatly increased. I’m 68 and she’s 66. There’s no turning back for either of us now.
My sister says her Kidney specialist says she can't have any meat because its too high in protein (purine) and that it would be damaging to her kidneys. She told me she got a kidney stone on Keto but I believe she wasn't doing a true keto diet. I've lost 110 lbs on ketovore and think she's full of crap.
I went carnivore last October for 90 days to clear my digestive tract. Worked wonders. Got great results from recent tests! I’m keto now and haven’t been this healthy in decades.
Shared with two already. Thank you Dr Berry. I was just told by a vegetarian, that when I "get backed up" I need to start taking in more fiber because I am damaging my gut and intestines by not using fiber. All I could do was laugh. Struck me as strange seeing how two years ago, I went full carnivore and haven't had any "back up" going on. Only time I "got backed up" was on a vegetarian diet.
Dr. Berry, thank you so much for your tireless pushback against TPTB. While you are pushing back in the food arena we all know this extends to many other areas of our lives. Christ is King
I’m nearly 70. 25 years ago I was told by a young college girl that the food pyramid was wrong. Hmmm. The internet was new then so, I wasn’t surprised by the lack of information. I had gained weight and consulted a bodybuilder. She told me to eat meat, low carb vegetables and if I was still hungry to eat more meat. I started dropping weight and felt marvelous while never feeling hungry. Fast forward 25 years. I’m old and all my friends are old. We lived through the pandemic. Gained some weight. But most are struggling to lose weight or are having reactions to foods. I’m shocked at how people cling to the food pyramid. How the recommended diet of the Heart Association or the Diabetes Association are still touting carbs! AND they have a reaction to foods they blame the protein. Not the oils it was fried in. Not the alcohol they drank. Not the starchy vegetables. The meat gets blamed.
Thank you. I knew the usda food pyramid was wrong. I have fired several MD types for trying to put me on cholesterol (but glucose raising) meds. I was tired of paying to volunteer to be practiced on.
I just finished my first year of Veterinary Medical School, and learning the physiology of ruminants (especially bovine) was so incredibly fascinating for me. It became very apparent why beef is so complementary to a healthy human diet. They basically live in a state of gluconeogenesis while depending on the extensive gut microbiome to supply their nutrients. I personally think it is a beautiful system ❤
They just quietly passed a law they snuck into the last 95 billion dollar Ukraine funding package that provides money to electronically tag every single dairy and beef cow in the continental United States. Its happening and only a few know or are aware.
Thank you Dr. Ken Berry for setting the record straight on eating red meat. Refreshing to know there's someone out there actually telling the truth and dispelling the myths. You have my utmost respect for your honesty.
I don't know that I've ever had an Hgb A1c test run before in my life, but my PA ordered one for my last annual Wellness checkup and it was 5.2%. My Glucose was 91
Gratitude. Currently 68, weight stuck for a while, but muscle increasing. Appreciate the validation last year on not drinking squeezed citrus or vinegar. If it tastes bad, I skip it.
@@foxywhitetip7387 Yes, I know that. And he has mentioned that he can reach more people doing what he is doing now. I was comparing the "reach" that he has compared to in clinic doctors. And as far as I know he is still "seeing" (possibly via zoom) some of his existing patients so I assume he would have to be registered to be able to do that.
Hello Dr. Berry .I have diverticulitis...I had eaten a large salad for 2 years, and food was getting trapped in my colon and the smell was horrendous..I've had colonoscopy and they found a non cancerous polyp...long story short..they gave me no diet to follow etc.just wanted me to come back in 5 yrs for another one..the last one I had could not be completed because there was still poop in there..they told me I had to drink the stuff for an extra day...I didn't go back..I have severe constipation...I started carnivore March 13, 24 at 173 and today may 7 weighed in at 154...my bowel movements are more structured whereas before was clay like and looked like it was ripped and sometimes worm like..real skinny...i eat one meal a day and have no cravings, and the horrendous stench in the bathroom is gone...question, do you know anyone who has healed diverticulitis which this diet...all i eat is red meat which is suppose to be a no no for this...any suggestions?? Thank you... feeling a bit better...
Hi, I had been having diverticulitis flare ups every 6-7 months prior to going carnivore. Since I started this way of eating (WoE), Jan 3, 23, I had a small flare up about 3 months in, but not si ce then. So nothing in 1 year. That's my experience. I feel great, no constipation, no pains. I went from 185 to 145.
Thank you, Dr. Berry for all your work. I've been following you for almost fiur years now. In 2020 I've got rid of 14kg in 5 months eating keto and doing IF. Then life happened and I gained all that weight back. Today I am on my 2nd day of the water fast. Willing to do 28 more days and switching to carnivore and 18/6 IF. Thank you for all the work you do to help people all around the world! God bless you and your family!
You really need to do a video about pork/chicken/eggs/linoleic acid. Much confusion about this in the keto/carnivore sphere. People are potentially being gridlocked from changing their diets because of this idea that it’s not even worth attempting unless they strictly eat red meat.
Right on. When I cut out most of the carbs and sugars I could do things again that were tiring me out such as crawling under vehicles or getting on ladders (such as to paint the house) My one vice is I still love ice cream which is loaded with sugar.
I have been on the carnivore diet for the last 3 months, my A1C is 4.9 and my Cholesterol 236, HDL value 48, LDL 150, triglicerides 75. I experience a stroke on this past Thursday and have been put on statins, blood thinner and anticoagulants. I am so lost. I'm 35 years old.
@@dandanndannnnnn switching to a carnivore diet (with LOTS of red meat) improved my kidney function from 82% to 100%. It wasn't red meat that was the problem, it was too many carbs!
@@dandanndannnnnn I did not mean that in a negative context. You can have red meat. You need to understand the Randall cycle. Carbohydrates and fats are not a good mix. You're better off just eating total 20 g of carbs per day and that's it. Include your high-fat protein-rich red meat
I'm a 67 year old male diagnosed with prostate cancer a year ago. Refused all medical advise on how to treat it. Started using a carnivore diet along with 222mg of Fenbendozal daily. I've experienced significant progress with my prostate since doing this. Not cancer free yet, but I'm confident I will be cancer free in the next year. I now pee less, no burning, no spasms, no pain, no inflammation anymore. Carnivore and Fenbendozal is working for me. People need to stop blindly following the advice of traditional medicine and big pharma. There are other ways to treat prostate cancer other than the standard of care being offered by most doctors.
With respect and good wishes for your health..what you are saying is dangerous. I am a Pc survivor and I have seen way TOO MANY men try the same things and many are now in Stage 4..or dead. Your indicators of better prostate health are NOT indicative of anything. ZERO. What is your Gleason and differential? How many cores? Pc is the #2 killer of men and many could be prevented. I tracked mine for 3 yrs and was almost symptom free. PC a is VERY individual cancer and as most are ..and one persons “successes” are not any indication of any outcome. Be careful everyone..DENIAL IS DEADLY.
My friend’s daughter was vegetarian for several years. She was skinny and sickly looking with gray skin all that time. When she finally started eating meat again. It was like adding color to a black and white photo. She looks healthy again.
Try using a water pic twice a day and your dental health will improve further , it’s not just your doctor that lie your dentist also , I had areas of deep pockets that brushing and flossing won’t clean, they said floss and never suggested a water pic , it was like day and night, you won’t believe how much food particles will come out when you flush with a water pic and the bacteria that grows because of it , funny thing is I don’t even feel that it’s there . It’s as if they want the pockets to get worse and they were getting worse
I was macrobiotic, vegan, raw, then paleo on wild game, but underfed on bread avocados and coffee mainly. I could never break the sprouted or sourdough bread addiction. I started “burger not bread” substitution and didn’t realize til weeks later I had no bread. My gut pain cleared up. I was always around 125, 5’ 2”, 55 yrs old female. Now I’m 103, like the little gymnast I was. Now I fly around the garden working all day, spri go g out of bead ready to get at iit at 4 am daily. When i get off carnivore for a snack day my energy plummets. Bread hurts to even look at it now. We are so fortunate to buy half a pasties local cow for $5.50/lb. (Not including processing ) thank you for helping so many people with your work.
I would like to thank you, Dr. Ken Berry. I was a type two diabetic for 15 years on Met Forman and Januvia now that I am keto almost carnivore. I’m on medication. My doctor can’t believe it.
I participated in many of these "nutritional studies" over the years. I had no way of remembering what I ate and so just went on the averages of the type of meals we ate per week. I had no idea I was contributing to this false data being shared and manipulated to suit their needs. At the time I felt I was doing something good to help the community. How wrong was I. Wish I could have that time back to be used for something better.
i am disabled in a wheelchair, since 1999 i am 36 years old i have been following your channel since july of 2020 being close to 400 pounds a1c of 7.8 from then till june 2023 i lost 200 pounds my a1c was finally under 6.0, we made a huge move from Wisconsin to Texas i fell off the wagon during the move however now i lost 50 more pounds and working on my a1c that went back up now it is going back down. reason why we moved was for my health i couldn't take the cold and being stressed out by my environment, i couldn't move my legs much up north now being here and eating better i am moving so much better i am praying to be able to walk again! i Thank Jesus for leading me to your channel when my main dr in wisconsin was trying to push pills on me when i told her i will eat right she laughed at me and said just take the pills and be happy hun. i prayed for a way to get healthy then i saw your channel.
Huzzah ! Great job! Best wishes for your continued health advances!
What a hopeful story. I wish you every success on your continued health journey. ☺️

A proper human diet did more for my health than any medication every did. 2 years carnivore and feel like im aging backwards! Meat heals
Aging backwards is what came to my mind as well. I know it doesn't make us superhuman but sometimes it feels like it 😂
💯
I'm here for the meat healing!
🙋
My thoughts exactly...
Then I realize how sick I was ,and that this is what healing an recovery feels like.
Thank you so much Dr Berry,
You have saved my life.
My doctor is very happy 😊
Family still worries even though at 70 I am healthier than I was 10 years ago. Go figure. Eat your meat!
I just had ultrasound on the joints in my hands, I was referred six months ago when my hands were swollen, red and painful with suspected arthritis. While waiting for test dates, I began keto and l've been carnivore for two months now.
My inflammation has drastically reduced. During the ultrasound, I was asked about my diet. They found one joint with inflammation, and I was told that this is because I was eating TOO MUCH red meat and that I should reduce this. I confidently replied by telling her that I have inflammation in ONLY one joint BECAUSE I've been eating red meat! She responded that red meat causes inflammation, and that I should eat a balanced diet. I asked for the source of her claim, and to explain what a balanced diet is? She didn't know the source, and told me that it's difficult to say what a balanced diet is. You could feel the atmosphere change instantly, despite me being respectful.
You could not make this sh*t up!
Fire the doctor!
I hate the terms "balanced" and "moderation". It means absolutely nothing because it's undefined. Why is it somehow better to eat harmful stuff with the good stuff instead of just eliminating the harmful stuff?🤔
"You could feel the atmosphere change instantly"
Well spotted. "It's easier to fool people than convince them they've been fooled". Too many people will defend wrong beliefs to the death rather than admit they've been fooled.
Same with my Doctors and neprologist always saying the balance diet with yelling on me so on that how can I listen to them right ?
@@renyfornow9570
Now just replace eating with drinking, smoking or other addictions.
Moderate smoking
Moderate alcohol
Moderate _____ fill in name of drug.
Doesn’t sound so logical anymore, right?
Well 2006 I went vegan. My heart could not decide which rhythm to follow. My kidneys went on vacation. My lungs found out that oxygen is overrated. So does it surprise anyone that I ended up in the hospital? So decided to take all official guidelines by the FDA upside down. My food is mix of fish meat eggs organ meat with some fermented veggies in between. After 10 years of heavy medications due to diabetes… I got rid of all medications … bottom line stay away from carbs
I couldn't get ny wife pregnant for 20 years. Then I went on carnivore and was able to grow a beard fir the first time in my life (at 48) and because we were used to not using protection,my wife got pregnant at 38. Unfortunately she lost it, but we are now both on 90% carnivore and have changed our lives.

how many lbs
@@mica122213 65lb
"Problem" is, carnivore diet is far less sustainable for food industry, that is why people spread bad information. In carnivore diet- there is no addiction like sugar- sugar is added in almost everything, vegetarian meals too, there is far less variety for food company to make bigger profit, people dont crave or over-eat on plain meat like they do cakes or burgers with lot of additives and excess salt.
Always look who funded those researches, mostly food companies, and they would never fund something they know it will show bad image for them, its already fixed to give people misinformation.
@@mica122213roughly double 60lbs
@mica122213 About 66 pounds , give or take a half a pound. Hope this helps.
I told my endocrinologist that I was going to do the carnivore diet, he said red meat increases insulin resistance and to eat mostly chicken and fish. I did not argue with him and just eat mostly beef. In 3 months, my a1c has gone from 8 down to 6.6 and I have lost 40 pounds somewhere I hope I never find again. From 401 lbs down to 361 lbs. I am going to continue with this.
Beautiful keep going. You're doing amazing.
Keep it up and don't quit!! You got this!! Congrats !!🎉🎉
That's good to hear. My hospital diabetes dietician told me I wasn't eating enough carbs and that I would lose muscle. After 2.5 years on low carb, and now eating a lot more meat that I have ever done, I've proved her wrong.
Yeah🎉🎉🎉🎉 keep going, you’re doing great! Giving me inspiration, too. 😊
😂 that's funny. Meat does not cause insulin resistance, eating too much sugar causes it, and meat by itself contains no sugar.
Ken you are a resilient dude. Having to fight the powers that be has to be difficult. Thank you for your commitment to educating us and being the best doctor you can be.

I've started the Carnivore Diet about two months ago. I've lost 11 pounds and all the weird bumps and skin "acne" around the back of my arms and face have gone away. Even my wife can't believe it. Her and her family always worry about my health because of all the rest meat... I feel great!
Great!! I sometimes eat like a horse and never gain any weight to speak of.
Dr Berry - Thank you. I haven’t been able to drop the last 20 pounds of my twin baby weight since their birth in 2013. After only ONE month of just following your advice and not obsessing about calories and portion size and -
1. Eating the best meat I can afford, including red meat, pork, chicken (and some shrimp and tuna thrown in)
2. Eating only full fat dairy (as a compliment to a meal not the main thing) and
3. Eating the green vegetables on your approved list with full fat homemade dressing -
I have lost 11 lbs. No hunger. No cravings. Sleeping SO much better and no afternoon energy slumps. I’m Just eating what I love until full and happy. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel to not ONLY finally slimming down but even MORE- sleeping BETTER than I have in YEARS and having more energy than ever. I need energy and sleep since I homeschool two kiddos full-time and run an online business and podcast..!
This way of eating is truly a revelation. My son is an 11 year Type One Diabetic and I have shown him your videos too. He has been switching to savory meat based breakfasts ( NO MORE oatmeal and smoothies!!) and his Dexcom CGM readings are so steady it’s incredible!! I tell ya, when I first showed him some of your Carnivore videos he wasn’t too sure, but after a few days he told me, “Dr. Berry seems like he’s onto something here about meat and glucose levels..” 😂😂
This lady and her son just want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you do ❤ I’ll update you!
So happy for y'all ❤
I’m so happy for you and your son ❤
are u carnivore or keto carnivore?...what list is that on for approved veggies?..tx
Be nice. As long as someone is eating whole foods, they're on the right track.
@jenniferchristopherson , My 12 year old daughter was just diagnosed with diabetes about a month ago. We just found out the past week that she’s type 2. Before all of the testing came back to confirm that they were treating her as a type 1. The endocrinologist thought there was no way she was a type 2. She got a Dexcom g7. Is your sons Dexcom accurate? We had been depending on it and going by it until the last one we put on last week. We started using the meter and comparing it and it’s consistently been 20-30 off or more. I’m not sure if it was user error or what.
I’m a colon cancer survivor I mostly ate fish and chicken and sweets and was extremely stress started keto/ carnivore best I have felt just started red meat. Thanks Dr
Congratulations ❤
That’s wonderful, Nita. 👏
Congratulations dear heart. ❤
Must have been the fish and chicken, couldn't have been the sweets.
Meat and dairy caused your cancer. Don't listen to idiots like Ken Berry.
RESEARCH!!!
After going carnivore 4 years ago and feel so much better I no longer care what the studies or the science says. My own trial and error on myself is all that counts for.
I'm feeling the same way. People telling me that you have to eat fibre, eat the rainbow, need carbs (hospital diabetes dietician told me that I wasn't eating enough carbs and would lose muscle - I've proved her wrong), you shouldn't eat too much bacon etc etc etc. I'm listening to my body now. I've been low carb for 2.5 years and starting increasing the meat about 6 months ago. I'm noticing quite quickly when I've eaten something that makes my arthritis hurt. And when that happens it's makes that food much less appealing!
Most nutrition studies are just marketing at this point, funded by the industry or questionable organizations, the quality often laughable if you take a closer look how they're done
@@SolarCookingGermany I agree.
Amen
Nobody can go 4 years 100% carnivore without supplements! Most will die of malnutrition within 8 months or less.
I have been strict carnivore for a year now and it has been amazing! I had to cut off some family members, my sister in law is a doctor, and I have two family members that are nurses, and all three are 100% brainwashed into all the lies, I'm sick or arguing with them and dealing with their negative criticisms.
Don’t argue, it’s not up for discussion
I am FINALLY ok with people walking away and when they throw the veggies/fruit way to eat, I no longer argue. You are not going to change their mind. Life is too short to fight thst battle. 🎉🎉🎉
One of my friends who is a doctor,l told him that humans don't need to eat any carbohydrates,we just eating meat is best for our health,he was a bit angry and upset about my view is different from him, what l hurt his pride,he tried to change my mind but I ignored him,he is a strong believer in studying medical in university
I totally get u, I share a house with some family members n they r completely against me eating carnivore… they always try to trick me into eating vegetables 😂
Maybe you should listen to SOME criticism.
Carnivore diet is not a miracle cure diet. It just massively lowers carbs and so you fix all issues you have associated with carbs.
But it does not mean the meat is doing anything particular, it just means you are now within acceptable carbs levels.
So, you can start by adding a fruit before your meat now for a month like Kiwis, blueberries, raspberries and see if you feel even better or worse (you'll be better guaranteed)
I have been following a Dr. Berry, Chaffee, Shawn Baker, and Steak&Butter Gal for over a year. Even shared info or supporting thoughts to friends and family. Of course, since I had not gone full keto or even carnivore…I am overweight and no one listens. People are not interested unless I succeed first then share.
I have been gradually reducing carbs over past year…and past few months increasing meat in my diet, and crowding out carb foods.
I finally have gone for 2 days with zero carbs, and nothing but meat, water, and some cheese on burger patties made at home.
Dropping carbs is big challenge for me. Last 2 days are only time in my life to go a day without carbs.
My transition is long, cause it is not easy transition for me. But, my slow process is working for me…Thank the Keto leaders.
Best of luck to anyone trying to make this dietary change. I am convinced from the influencers it is a way to improve health and strength.
Thank you for saving me Dr. Berry! 18 months on Carnivore. No more typeII, have lost 80 lbs. labs all normal. No more hypertension.
Dr Berry, why they say no red meat when dealing with prostate cancer. Would you eat it if dealing with PC?
Yes a strict carnivore can reverse diabetes type 2. However it should be noted and the information propagated that it is not the only way to do it. :-))
You chose to save your life, congratulations ❤
Were you on BP meds. How did you come off them ?
Yes, was on metoprolol, Valsartan, amilodopin and clonidine patch. Blood pressure got too low, so doc had me quit all but 1/2 dose of Metropolol. Now normal bp.
Perhaps all these doctors that say red meat is bad for you , should consume Beyond Beef themselves , and leave the ones that know better alone .
Well said ✨️
Dr Ken I been eating red meat all my 62 years. I love it and will never stop eating it. I am healthy take no pharmaceutical drugs work out regularly.I do eat some fruit with my carnivore diet.Probably because I own a blueberry farm.Keep up the good work I enjoy your videos.
Wow 🙌
Fruit and meat sounds good to me 😅
Yep. We eat some low antinutrient, low starch veg... some fruit.. small amounts of desserts with clean ingredients. It's amazing. Very animal based.
@@CarisaRaePersonally, I save sweets for birthdays and holidays and stick to steamed veggies, baked potatos, whole wheat tortillas, oatmeal, rice, protein pancakes and protein waffles, and whole grain pasta for my carbs while my proteins are mostly beef, bison, chicken, turkey sausage, and eggs.
Hi Dr Berry - I'm in Cornwall UK and a huge fan of yours. I doubt you'll read this but I thought you may be interested in a short radio play I listened to by the great John Buchan (great novelist). Written in a time when you were allowed to be a patriot and proud of your country of birth. The play is called Sick Silent River and tells the story of a aging lawyer who is given a year to live and decides to go travelling in North America. To cut a long story short he ends up eating nothing but Caribou and blow me if he doesn't get better. Its a brilliant adventure story told as only John Buchan can. Well worth a listen as all his books are. Thank you for all you do. Much appreciated.
Had a cerebellum stroke 2017@44 yrs (mis diagnosed for 3 days) while active duty. Had ED since. needed a cane to walk, ended up with a load of issues after. June 2022 I went full carnivore. Most all ailments gone, no more meds and ED gone (ED gone in less than 6mo). No more cane needed to walk. Carnivore literally saved my life. My military doc hate it, but I just ignore and no longer pickup the statins or BP meds.
I like stories like yours. So glad you're on the mend. While I've always been carnivore I also took in a lot of sugars and carbs and really felt I was aging. After I ditched most of the sugars and carbs I can now crawl under cars again, lift motors or transmissions, get on ladders (getting ready to repaint the house) and do things not all 67 year olds can. Life is good .
So glad for your recovery. 😊
Results don't lie. Congrats, that's awesome

I’m doing carnivore as an elimination diet. Three months in I feel better than I have in 20 years. Amazing!
I did carnivore as an eliminated and after 6 momths of great results I simply stuck to eliminating everything off the carnivore diet lol.
Meat and eggs are king!
Like so many others here, eating mostly fatty red meat (almost 5 years now) eliminated gum disease, IBS, acne, excess fat, arthritis, hair loss, reduced BP and so much more! I now get constant complements on my skin, which, after a lifetime of being embarrassed by my acne, still gets me emotional. Whenever I stray and reintroduce any form of processed carbs (like my favourite pizza when eating out with friends) or fibrous veggies (like broccoli), I get arthritis and gut issues again.
I'm now beginning to notice when I eat something that causes my arthritis to hurt.
Yes, if I eat corn it flares my joint pain. Wheat flares my whole digestive tract from reflux, to a stomach ache and diarrhea. Grateful to know what's bad for me but sometimes sad I can't enjoy those foods at all anymore.
Carnivore is the best thing I've done for myself, behind Jesus!!

AND IN THAT ORDER!

Seven mos ago, after my third stage 4 breast cancer surgery, double mastectomy. I started eating anything I wanted, mostly ice cream everyday. Then I get cancer free card.
Crap!!! A1c 7.3. D x with type 2 diabetes.
I ran across you on Utube, started carnivore diet with a tad of luttuce. A1c dropped to 6.1 without the Metformin which I refused to take. It only took 3mos. Still going for lower A1c.
Bless you.
The way I knew you could be trusted was when you admitted you had been wrong all these years about what it really took to get on the road to better health and having first hand experience in testing that road out due to your own health challenges and Neisha’s as well. Thank you for giving us the truth.
Plus, he never tries to sell you anything.
Something bad is going to happen to your health if you go Carnivore, from a health " professional's " perspective....you will no longer be a meal ticket for them to write prescriptions for. I started the cleansing Lion diet 3 weeks ago, and have lost 12 lbs, and dropped over 20 points on BP, causing me to safely discontinue all meds. There are a host of other positive health changes no need to go into detail on, and ZERO negative ones. I'm just scratching the surface, and at a starting weight of 287 to have this many changes for the better in 3 weeks, I know I'm on the right path.
Any cortisol spikes? I'm having a hard time as I recently tried to incorporate some carbs but apparently went about it too fast and it messed me up. Anxiety and depression through the roof.
@@jond230 The Lion diet is nothing but beef, or meat from any animal with hooves and a chambered stomach, salt, and water/electrolytes. It's a cleansing diet that in about 90 days should clear all the sugar/toxins/crap out of your system and allow you to slowly reintroduce the Carnivore diet which adds bacon, butter, and eggs. Carbs are an absolute no go, as are plants, fruits, nuts, especially SUGAR. The first couple of weeks can be a bit tough which the electrolytes help with. You either go in to this diet committed, or don't go at all. Carbs are something you may try about a year down the road, if you're serious about taking control of your health. Sounds like your body is letting you know carbs are trash.
I have been carnivore for just over three weeks and can already see the difference. I am sleeping a bit better and my pain is less severe than it was. I am amazed that the body can do so much healing in less than a month. My weight is normal, but at the high end of what is ideal for my body type, but I have still dropped a couple of pounds. I am eating two meals a day and loving it!
I did carnivore for 3 months and it was amazing. But then when I hit the 4th month, I started doing long endurance sports like 2 hours walking, and an hour swimming. After a month my body finally could not take it anymore. I had heart palpitation, could not sleep for 2 days, my head felt like I was walking on the cloud. I thought I was going to have a heart attack or stroke, I went to ER and got two tubes of vitamins shots into my body, rest for 3 hours in ER bed, nurse took my EKG. I felt so weak. The EKG result came out and my heart is perfect! My body slowly recovering during those 3 hours. Doctor gave me a few vitamins and some medicines (I forgot the name, but those were for my digestions system). Doctor never told me what I had. She just said I needed to eat balance diet😢 I went home and rest for 2 days. And I felt good again. So my conclusion was I was running out of sugar, and I did long long long hours of endurance training on 99% carnivore diet! I probably have to intervere my diet with occasionally having carbs (like complex carbs or carbs from fruits such as carnivore Paul saladino does ?) if I am doing long endurance sports. Right now I am in a mesa again because after that insident I was forced to get back to normal standard diet (eat lots of carbs and junks food😮). I have now high uric acid on my blood, high LDL cholesterol and sometimes high blood pressure. So, I am going back to be carnivore again but with some adjustment as I love my endurance training.
@@SariPutri-x6v It sounds like you could be low on electrolytes? But Saladino seems to be doing well on his diet, so it might be worth trying?
We have an associate who at age 45 developed colon cancer . Post op he was told no red meat , low fat high amounts of broccoli etc . He is sick all the time with colds , digestive issues etc . But there is no way he would listen to us such is the tyranny of my doctor said mantra ….

@@denofpigs2575Seeing those you love essentially hurting themselves is very painful. Some people don’t believe that a delicious food is good for you. Butter versus margarine. It has been delightful for me to find out that butter is a healthy food! Margarine doesn’t taste good to me anymore. Remember that Dr. Berry says that at the end of the day your father is grown and will make his own decisions. You can only lead by example. This is hard. Some of my own family think I am nuts for eating the proper human diet.
@@denofpigs2575Tell dad he should keep the margarine out in the garage. It's a great assembly lube for brakes or any rubber seals on the car 😂
My cardiologist took the time tell me that I should consume red meat and other animal protein. Stay from white bread and other simple carbohydrates. You Sir and my cardiologist are wise men. Your advice is sound. Thank you for sharing expertise on the subject. And enjoyed your video lecture immensely.
I started the carnivore "diet" on Jan 1st 2024 I weighed 275 pounds at 5'-7'. To this date Oct 22 2024 with limited exercise, push ups and walking mostly, I have lost 110 pounds. I have never felt better in my life and I'm 60. I plan on continuing this life style .
I will be 70 this year and with you, I have lost 70 pounds, lost blood pressure pills, a statin, lowered my cholesterol, my A1C went from 6,5 to 5.4, in the last 18 months, and with SI joint issues I have done this while sitting in my recliner off and on threw the day. I do garden my own veggies and we eat heavy meat, and animal fats with a few low-carb veggies, not totally carnivores but ketovores. My husband found you, he has lost 120 pounds, and also lost blood pressure pills, statins, and metformin with A1C 6.4 to 5.5 after he was diagnosed with PAD and caught a way to become healthier! He is 65. I have added iodine drops. Thanks, Dr. Berry!
It's absolutely ridiculous that they say Red meat causes colon cancer. My uncle died of colon cancer. He never ate red meat unless it was in a processed, cling wrapped- TV dinner.
That's the problem stuff, anything that comes packaged that you can just put in the microwave. Processed rubbish is the cause of cancer. I'm sorry for your loss.
Nitrates-nitrites in processed meat is the killer I believe
And sugar
Thank you Dr Berry!! 11 months carnivore, never felt better!!!! From the Canadian Almond farmer!!

@@debbieuronis3779 Yes, they do….but less chemicals.
Thank you!
@@debbieuronis3779 Flaxseed and cassava have cyanide killing our mitochondria. Dr Anthony Chaffee studied Cancer Biology: All plants are carcinogenic. Botany 101 all plants are toxic, they do not want to be eaten. Brussel Sprouts have 139 carcinogens, white mushrooms have 100. Our ancestors used agriculture as starvation foods they knew how to prepare them. Only pick vine ripe tomatoes blanch them and peel them, cut them and remove the seeds, removing a lot of the toxins. Blue berries and strawberries are less toxic, carnivore parents allow their children to have some. Sally K Norton Toxic Superfoods. I have Oxalate Poisoning from eating organic vegan and drinking my raw spinach or kale superfood smoothies, even spices make me feel sick. I can only eat meat, beef I feel best eating, eggs we thankfully have our own chickens, and dairy, heavy cream and cream cheese, I grate my parmigiana frozen, shred my mozzarella, we have so many great recipes. Chris Cooking Nashville has the best bread and mashed potatoes for those occasions that are delicious. I make taco shells putting small rounds of mozzarella on parchment paper baking 350 degrees for 12 minutes, I hang over the sides of a bowl to shape them. I have chunks of brisket and chuck roast in the freezer which is quick to thaw in a pan, top your tacos with cheddar and sour cream if you like so quick and easy.

@@RoadGlideFever do you have any tips? I’m thinking of starting carnivore diet. I struggle with carbs and sugar, especially Coca Cola.
I'm so lucky for 43 years. The first was Atkins, then ketovore. I'm in great health. No meds will be 70 years young, no meds. So 43 years ago, a heart doctor in Ocean City, NJ, put me on a road of great health. No surgeries.
Almost eight months carnivore! I just lost ten more pounds! I feel amazing! Reversed fatty liver, diabetes and diverticulitis.
Plus a long list of wins!! Carnivore for life🥩💪
Its more attributed to elimination of sugar, and ultra processed carbs which come packed with lot of artificial additives. Protein is used for muscle, calcium for bones and iron for blood cells, meat has lot of these and these are main elements to go thru day and to give you energy, not enough protein- muscle cant regenerate enough after work or exercise.
Over 1 yr carnivore 70lb down; CRP down from 25 to 4.5; autoimmune gastritis & arthritis asymptomatic. Thanks Dr B!
Good morning Dr Ken. My family thinks I'm nuts for going carnivore but it's helped me a lot.
Keto/Carnivore 5 years. Reversed pre diabetes, reduced inflammation, reduced triglycerides, lost 50 lbs. Cleared brain fog, changed my mood, reduced anxiety and depression. Life changing. Thankfully there are those with a platfrom to tell the virtues of an animal based proper human diet. No one listens to me when I simply answer their question, how did I lose the fat? I also OMAD and do a three day fast every five weeks. People look at me like I have two heads. 62 and ripped. I must be doing it wrong.
Could you give some suggestions for good resources/youtubers etc to begin learning and making life style changes with keto/carnivore diet? I've had some success with inflammation pain with IF but still struggling with some other autoimmune symptoms and carnivore/keto keeps cropping up... thanks!
Wow! I didn't know the results could be that dramatic!

I remember when diabetes was called ""sugar diabetes ".
Yes, but the advice always seemed/s to be "watch the sugar". I can watch it as I take a spoonful and add it to my coffee. Just like saying a balanced diet; a cookie in each hand.

Your doctor is mad because she gets cash kickbacks from the drug companies and you're not helping in that. Good for you dear lady.

Im 53, turning 54 in a few weeks. As a child I was anemic and our country doctor told me Mother red meat every day and lots of leafy greens. To this day, I eat lean red meat frequently. My cholesterol is great, Im no longer anemic and people often tell me they can't believe my age. My Mom was a type 2 diabetic and her dr insisted she cut back on red meats, and she did as told. She died of heart disease st the age of 52. ...
I'll give my observational. My parents grew up during the depression and ate just enough to stay alive. But after they were married and dad survived WWII, they worked hard but ate whatever they wanted and as much as tgey wanted. That includes red meat and bacon. The two of them would polish off an entire pound of bacon at a time. They never had cancer or heart attacks and they lived into their late 80's. Oh, that bacon fat fried up a lot of potatoes ❤
Wow nice. Bacon in the morning and sometimes alternate with sausage. Yes I fry my potatoes in bacon fat. The aroma in the kitchen is awesome. Been doing it since I was a kid. Thank goodness we have a produce market where I pay about half for potatoes than what the grocery stores want.
Yep. My grandma is 90 and thriving.

Oh man, red meat in butter 🤤
I think red meat is the best! I do believe we have to be careful what we eat and where itt comes from. There is lab meat, mRNA injected meat, grain fed meat etc.
Every single Bit of it is Better than eating a Plant
@@paulhailey2537 lab meat is the fake stuff, Beyond, Impossible, etc. they are not meat, but made from plants and junk processed additives.
Grass fed/finished. Force of Nature in Austin TX has fine cuts of meat
Still 1000x better than eating poptarts.
Cattle are grass-fed. Some are grain-finished in feed lots. The fatty-acid profile of grain-finished beef is nearly identical to that of beef from cattle that were not grain-finished. I eat grain-finished beef because I find that since it is fattier it tastes better and is much less expensive.
Best thing is, I spend much less time organizing (buying, fridge, thinking ...) when I eat mostly carnivore. AND I keep losing weight.
DR. Berry, Would you mind doing a video on nutritional bio-availability of the foods that you recommend eating? And maybe educate us on some of the nutrient families that go together and what nutrients cancel others out? ie: Calcium + Vit. D3, But Calcium will cancel out magnesium... etc.
You are real health mentor.. Lots of love for you ❤
I can pretty much guess with a high level of accuracy that I probably ate a ribeye or a large hamburger one year ago today because I eat red meat just about every day. Ideal body weight, great blood markers, and reversed type 2 diabetes over last 4 years.
I am so frustrated with all the bad press about the carnivore diet. I simply mentioned that I have been on a carnivore diet in my work lunch room so I didn’t want the donuts and the reaction made me feel like a leper… after all the lectures about how unhealthy it is🤦♀️
I sympathise with you. I am very careful who I reveal my woe to, for fear of disapproval, but ultimately I feel sorry for all those people who are still believing the lies we’ve been told over the past 60 years.
Talked to a new hire at work. Type 1 diabetes. They didn’t even know that their kidney problems are a result refused a cgm. Told the doctor that they’re doing the best they can. Resigned to being sick 😢

I have been studying nutrition and how it impacts biology for a long time. But I was deceived by the system as well. Just recently I woke up and started actually treating my body right and realizing that they were lying about everything. The more research I do the more I know the more I realize that people do not care or want to know anything.
Tienes razón, son tan.... Ciegos, por no decir algo peor
I think a a lot of people are often shocked to know countries with mostly slender people that eat a lot of rice and vegetables actually have pretty high rates of Type 2 diabetes, especially China & India. I think they have higher rates of diabetes per capita than the US.
My friend is an older Vietnamese lady and she has diabetes and she barely eats meat, just seafood mostly. She eats steamed rice, fresh rolls made from rice paper, sometimes she makes fried spring rolls, and eats fruit.
So far I haven't overcome my sugar/carb addiction... But I have increased my meat consumption... Especially red meat and eggs. Anyone feel much better than before doing this? Yes I know I need to kick the addictions. I have not given up... Just not there yet.
@terryhawkes3367 I also have a huge sweet tooth and have trouble kicking sugar. I will say, though, since I started eating more eggs and steak and bacon, I have fewer sugar "attacks". Hope this helps. Hang tough.
When I first heard about the carnivore diet I assumed it was some crazy idea that would probably kill you. Even small changes like more red meat, less carbs and less vegetables is surprisingly good for you.
These red meat lies are so ingrained into society. I'm 7+ years of Ketovore with fatty red meats, i shock all friends and family with my health and weight loss. Yet, they will still comment that I'm eating too much red meat.

I make all my food on pig lard, eggs and meat, much better and natural than plant oils that were used in last century for oiling machines and now as food.
Also, if someone is concerned about quality od meat in stores- get fish, even canned tuna, its also quality meat. Also, meat from wild boar, deer etc, might be expensive but at least you know it ate natural food.

Shared with two already. Thank you Dr Berry.
I was just told by a vegetarian, that when I "get backed up" I need to start taking in more fiber because I am damaging my gut and intestines by not using fiber. All I could do was laugh. Struck me as strange seeing how two years ago, I went full carnivore and haven't had any "back up" going on. Only time I "got backed up" was on a vegetarian diet.

Hi I am from Hong Kong, nice to meet your channel ❤
I’m nearly 70. 25 years ago I was told by a young college girl that the food pyramid was wrong. Hmmm. The internet was new then so, I wasn’t surprised by the lack of information. I had gained weight and consulted a bodybuilder. She told me to eat meat, low carb vegetables and if I was still hungry to eat more meat. I started dropping weight and felt marvelous while never feeling hungry.
Fast forward 25 years. I’m old and all my friends are old. We lived through the pandemic. Gained some weight. But most are struggling to lose weight or are having reactions to foods. I’m shocked at how people cling to the food pyramid. How the recommended diet of the Heart Association or the Diabetes Association are still touting carbs!
AND they have a reaction to foods they blame the protein. Not the oils it was fried in. Not the alcohol they drank. Not the starchy vegetables. The meat gets blamed.
Thank you. I knew the usda food pyramid was wrong. I have fired several MD types for trying to put me on cholesterol (but glucose raising) meds. I was tired of paying to volunteer to be practiced on.
I just finished my first year of Veterinary Medical School, and learning the physiology of ruminants (especially bovine) was so incredibly fascinating for me. It became very apparent why beef is so complementary to a healthy human diet. They basically live in a state of gluconeogenesis while depending on the extensive gut microbiome to supply their nutrients. I personally think it is a beautiful system ❤

You really need to do a video about pork/chicken/eggs/linoleic acid. Much confusion about this in the keto/carnivore sphere. People are potentially being gridlocked from changing their diets because of this idea that it’s not even worth attempting unless they strictly eat red meat.

Carbs and increased insulin production are the culprits.
And dr Ben Bikman just put out a video explaining how low salt can cause insulun resistance!!
Right on. When I cut out most of the carbs and sugars I could do things again that were tiring me out such as crawling under vehicles or getting on ladders (such as to paint the house) My one vice is I still love ice cream which is loaded with sugar.

I've experienced significant progress with my prostate since doing this. Not cancer free yet, but I'm confident I will be cancer free in the next year. I now pee less, no burning, no spasms, no pain, no inflammation anymore. Carnivore and Fenbendozal is working for me. People need to stop blindly following the advice of traditional medicine and big pharma. There are other ways to treat prostate cancer other than the standard of care being offered by most doctors.
Nitric Oxide
Just the fenben and carnivore?
I’m doing 444mg Fenben daily for stage 4 liver C and low carb diet. Haven’t made the jump to strict carnivore, yet.

The Story of B17 by G. Edward Griffin is a good read 📚
Keep doing what you're doing. 🙏🙏🙏💜
With respect and good wishes for your health..what you are saying is dangerous. I am a Pc survivor and I have seen way TOO MANY men try the same things and many are now in Stage 4..or dead. Your indicators of better prostate health are NOT indicative of anything. ZERO. What is your Gleason and differential? How many cores? Pc is the #2 killer of men and many could be prevented. I tracked mine for 3 yrs and was almost symptom free. PC a is VERY individual cancer and as most are ..and one persons “successes” are not any indication of any outcome. Be careful everyone..DENIAL IS DEADLY.
Thank you Dr Berry. Age 70 now ,after following your advice since 2020. I’m in better shape than at 40.
My 18 year old daughter has been eating a vegan diet for 10 years and there is no getting through.....I need to get her to watch these videos.
My cousin has been vegan for at least 35 years. She always looks really sickly and pale and she lives in Gold Coast Australia.
My friend’s daughter was vegetarian for several years. She was skinny and sickly looking with gray skin all that time. When she finally started eating meat again. It was like adding color to a black and white photo. She looks healthy again.
Proper human diet has healed some of my cavities and the need for a root canal.
That’s impressive, thank you for sharing.
Try using a water pic twice a day and your dental health will improve further , it’s not just your doctor that lie your dentist also , I had areas of deep pockets that brushing and flossing won’t clean, they said floss and never suggested a water pic , it was like day and night, you won’t believe how much food particles will come out when you flush with a water pic and the bacteria that grows because of it , funny thing is I don’t even feel that it’s there . It’s as if they want the pockets to get worse and they were getting worse
No it didn't lol. I like how Ken buys bot account replies. Just shows how much of a fraud he is.
@@KevinSignorelli Says the quadruple jbbed vegetarian with anemia and cavities.
@@KevinSignorelli Now I don’t know if I can trust the comments. I saw another comment exactly like this.
Grass fed grass finished beef is the best. Thanks Doc.
It is the best yes, but he's said on many occasions that if people cannot afford grass fed, then having the usual meat is ok.
I was macrobiotic, vegan, raw, then paleo on wild game, but underfed on bread avocados and coffee mainly. I could never break the sprouted or sourdough bread addiction. I started “burger not bread” substitution and didn’t realize til weeks later I had no bread. My gut pain cleared up. I was always around 125, 5’ 2”, 55 yrs old female. Now I’m 103, like the little gymnast I was. Now I fly around the garden working all day, spri go g out of bead ready to get at iit at 4 am daily. When i get off carnivore for a snack day my energy plummets. Bread hurts to even look at it now. We are so fortunate to buy half a pasties local cow for $5.50/lb. (Not including processing ) thank you for helping so many people with your work.
I would like to thank you, Dr. Ken Berry. I was a type two diabetic for 15 years on Met Forman and Januvia now that I am keto almost carnivore. I’m on medication. My doctor can’t believe it.
Off medication
I participated in many of these "nutritional studies" over the years. I had no way of remembering what I ate and so just went on the averages of the type of meals we ate per week. I had no idea I was contributing to this false data being shared and manipulated to suit their needs. At the time I felt I was doing something good to help the community. How wrong was I. Wish I could have that time back to be used for something better.
Casually listening to this video loudly while driving with my 18yr old daughter in the car... because she refuses to eat red meat
