I mentioned that I put lemon in my water and got yelled at on another site. People just need to chill a little.
Why did they yell I do it too lol
They do yell, vinegar, fresh lemon and lime, key lime are safe to use on carnivore, not Lion. If it lists citric acid it is made from black mold. I just squeezed limes put the juice in a small jar and put it in the freezer.
@@karenreaves3650 I only use the juice from real lemons.
That’s insanity…you eat and drink what you want!
Did they truly "yell" at you? Were you able to hear them? People are so sensitive nowadays especially online. Probably they just told you it's not technically carnivore and you feel upset by that. They are correct, but you can do it how you like.
My husband had double heart bypass surgery here in Brisbane, Australia during pandemic 2020 , overweight, snores so bad, has chronic sinusitis ( please know its that bad he can't breath through his nose for many many years), he spoke like a robot as his nose is always like a tap, gets tired all the time, lost motivation (always having brain fog and gets tired so easily ), big belly struggled to lose weight eventhough he doesnt eat much. Yes life for him have been pretty tough.
I tried to put him on vegetarian after his surgery but he only lasted 6 months. It was such a struggle. Honestly because of his health our marriage I believed has been affected so much.
He heard someone on RUclips 4 months ago and told me I will try carnivore. Mind you my husband hates gym, wouldn't listen to anything about diet... he only said yes to vegetarian because of that surgery. I would say that was God's answer to us that it was him who wanted to do this.
Anywau 3 months now on carnivore
Just some of the result
- no snoring
- lost a lot of weight
- no more brain fog
- no more day naps
- 60 years old but working like crazy 16 hours a day as he is that energetic he just can't stop
- he can breath through his nose
- he doesn't sound like a robot as his sinusitis is getting better
- happier
- motivated to do things
- and now wants to do training! Like what??? Is this even the same person?
And so much more
Truly I am so happy just can't thank enough. But honestly I still can't believe a carnivore diet could do this. But my husband is a living proof. If you have met him 3 months ago and then now, you would be in a carnivore or ketovore in a heartbeat ( I am!)
And to top it off, he's not on statins 😊 he's only taking aspirin, and even wondering if that is really necessary. Just have not found any carnivore doctor here yet.
That is a wonderful testimony! I remember the feeling of being pain free and energized and wanting to do everything! Then later I realised when I'm resting it also feels wonderful. To lie in bed in the morning and not get up to try ease the pain.
I'm so happy for you both!
I’m sure many people would love to hear your story on Dave Mac’s channel, No Carb Life 😊
Someone posted in the fb Aussie carnivore 4 Drs that are currently in Brisbane.
@@joevans5713I’m sure hubby would be happy to share specially if it could help many and just like us at first did really wonder and maybe you could say doubtful how carnivore could fix so many health issues but hubby is a living proof 😊
I live near you!!!
When people tell me I'm not a real carnivore. I respond with, that's fine, my goal isn't to be carnivore, my goal is to get healthier. If eating meat, fish, dairy, tea and coffee is getting me to my goal, call it what you like, I'm happy. It's a diet not a religion. That said, I am always clear that I am slowly working towards eliminate dairy, tea and coffee, as I think they are contributing to my migraine.
It was the doctors who convinced my kids and grandkids that I would be ok if I gave up plants. So grateful to them.
I eat like 80-90% carnivore. Works for me for now. I’ll adjust over time as needed. Some onions, mushrooms, berries, coffee from time to time
Same here!
Me too, I used to love nuts too but the oxalates are what was killing my digestive tract. Carnivore and some low oxalates supplemental foods like some stevia and quiche break up the montomy. Proportion is relevenat.
So keto? And that’s great!
Same
That’s the way our ancestors ate. They did NOT eat 100% meat. They ate roots, seeds, berries and they found a guy a few thousand years old with bread in his pocket along with berries and meat.
so IF you have 1000 carnivores in a room..you WILL have 1000 different ways of being a carnivore. people should not get hung up on dogma. the key point to being a carnivore is IS YOUR WAY OF EATING CARNIVORE HEALING YOU??
That's right. And the guilt of not doing what someone else is doing is totally unnecessary. We all live in different parts of the world with different weather, different seasons, and different foods.
We do, in fact, need to figure out what works best for us as an individual.
No..... There's only one way to truly be carnivore all else are doing it wrong the carnivore police say so
I don't see that. Please quit stirring the pot. We're eating meat, not bullshit.
@@diggyrat I eat dairy. Not just meat.
That's why I don't say I am eating....... if someone says something about it I say no I am eating the free to be me diet. Then you get a what's that. I just tell them I am eating what makes me the best me.
I have coffee everyday... for desert after eating my beef because I need to. It keeps the depression away. God bless everyone and their journey
Your just fine with coffee. I have coffe every morning and eat nothing but meat and eggs. If that doesn't make me carnivore then so be it.
People are just stupidly anal about it, almost like it's a competition who can be the strictest. It's ridiculous.
Have your coffee you'll be just fine, just like I will.
@@mooncat.787❤
@@mooncat.787 absolutely! This is about what works for us! Keep rocking it.
@@4timecancerfighter Absolutely. And if your name is as it's suggests your in more than a position to do what the bloody hell you like more than literally anybody else.
Did you see Kerry''s carnivore coffee ? No no no no Kerry. That was about as much coffee as a tin of spaghetti. He scooped a cup into beef broth and said it was coffee. CLICKBAIT !!!!
NO KERRY, it wasn't coffe it was literally beef broth. Why would you even say that ?
Keep doing what you feels best girl..... All the power, all the love.
@@mooncat.787 thank you so much and 😂 yes I saw his "coffee ".. I'm happy he has a drink that gives him energy and makes him happy but no thanks lol. I'll stick with my actual coffee. Besides, some people are forgetting that oxalate dumping is real and drinking my coffee helps it to not be as bad as it would be. Have a wonderful day and thanks for giving me a boost in my mood today 😊.
I wouldn't have started carnivore if I hadn't seen my first video by Dr. Berry. I have lost all fat on my body. I feel so much better. I am 66 years old and still healing after over 2 years.
Been carnivore for 8 weeks. Down 15 pounds. My body doesnt hurt anymore. My skin looks great. Had to have surgery on my hands and didnt say a word to anyone about my change in eating. The doctor was amazed at how quickly I healed. I believe it is because i have gone carnivore. Thank you for all of the information you have shared!!
I eat a wide variety of meat (beef, pork and bacon, chicken thighs and legs, some cheese and salmon once a week.) If it isn’t fatty enough, I add some butter. I don’t think I could just eat only beef. I have a few berries (in cream) for ‘dessert’ a few times a week. I also sauté mushrooms with my steaks. Quite happy with that and don’t care what anybody else thinks. 11 weeks in and down 15lbs. Off statins and BP meds cut by 3/4…next off of them.
Well done’
Susie, good for you! I agree with you!!😊
Been on Carnivore 9 weeks, keep having craves for sugar and carbs, so I have included lettuce, lime, honey once a week and that is so helpful. One does not necessarily have to be full carnivore. Its best to have what compatible to the meat to make its works. Just my opinion.
I am experiencing this. I knew the minute I would tell someone that I was trying carnivore I would get some flack for it. I am hearing anything from "you're not carnivore if you eat those strawberries" etc etc. This is why I will no longer tell anyone upfront that I am eating this way. I will just do my best and I am already noticing I feel better with just the changes I have made so far. Not perfect changes but , one day at a time!
It’s your choice of what you eat.
I tell people it's ketovore, or keto, heavy on the meat 85-90% carnivore. Most people I have talked to just want to know if it's working.
Yeah just call it meat based or keto.
No one is perfect ! Not even those perfect vegans are 100 percent vegan
Ye I've learned to only talk about it if people ask. I'm still new to carnivore so I still have fruit to help with the carb withdraw but people that know I'm trying carnivore for my adhd start mocking me when they see me eat an apple. I went from drinking sodas and junk everyday to eating an fruits and meat. why can't they just be happy for me(some of these people are family).
We live in France. We eat 90% carnivore at home, the only exceptions are we occasionally eat avocados and blueberries. We eat 2 meals a day. One meal at 11:30am - 4 eggs, 3 strips of bacon, and 3 merguez sausages (beef & lamb). And one meal at 6:30pm. Last night we had cubed ribeye steak cooked in lots of butter. My wife and I do go out to eat a couple of times a week for either lunch or dinner. We will order steak tartare or the plat du jour, which in France is either beef, lamb, veal, or fish. I will also eat potatoes if they are served with the meal, but I don't eat any greens or vegetables. We also have one glass of wine when we go out to eat with friends, but usually just water when it's just the two of us.
I enjoy 1 to 1.5 cups of coffee daily (down from 4 cups) and i dont apologize for it! To each their own, do what works for you.
Or do what you can get away with 😂 - and everyone decided for themselves what is “worth it!”
I know from Stephanie Person that some folks do much better with 5% carefully chosen plant foods (vs pure carni).
I have noticed in my own life, that the biggest health hazard is grains. Once I eliminated grains, my health and appearance improved a great deal. I still have fruit and certain vegetables here and there but very moderately. There is no need to live a life devoid of colorful food. Pure carnivore would not be sustainable for me. I love bananas with almond butter. I love a bowl of raspberries with some cottage cheese. I love keto ice cream in the summer. I love roasted Japanese sweet potatoes with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt. Life is good! I just don’t eat grains, and keep everything else to a minimum. Has worked great for me. Do what works for you. Everybody is different. 😊
Do whatever you believe is good for you. I cannot do what you do. Color is a myth and a lure. Pretty things can be toxic to many people. I think everyone should do their diets however they please though. At 62 I just cannot have those foods and, I believe it is relative to the amount of damage a person has with metabolism, liver, endocrine disregulation and visceral fat (even skinny folks), insulin issues and the host of other possible long term trauma to organs from eating too much sugars and non food substances such as seed oils and preservatives. Unnatural foods create unnatural issues. Fruits today are hybridized and contain more sugar than historically. Apples are the worst. I don't think much of agriculture today is anything similar to ancient times. In the last 100 years we have tampered with our foods, and have increased the population of unhealthy people along side of that. The charts don't lie. Be careful. But, that said, everyone will determine what is best for themselves.
@@exploringwithdave5926 Well said.
I hate labels. It's ruining everything
I'm thinking of calling my way of eating: PHD (Proper Human Diet) versus carnivore. I love eating ruminant meat, bacon, eggs and butter, but I also drink black decaf coffee and occasionally enjoy hard cheese and (rarely) organic wild blueberries. I've been doing this for nearly 2 years and will never go back to the standard American diet.
I eat a few figs from my trees in season.
All of that is still carnivore. Your diet sounds 95% or more animal products.
Yes! According to doctors I should’ve been wheel chair bound by 30 and dead by now from kidney failure and diabetes. I’m grateful every day that I’m alive but even better now I’m healthy!
This life change has stopped my dependence on antibiotics and asthma meds. Energy levels are high! Mind is clear! It has cured My partners IBS!
Your partner?
@@rodneypayne5124yes, partner. Some people say partner now instead of boyfriend or girlfriend. It’s called being progressive. And there’s nothing wrong with that 😊
Similar to Kerry, I use term carnivore to describe all meat, salt, water, and describe it as an elimination diet when being used with for that purpose in mind. I guess that was how I was influenced when stumbling onto my first podcasts last year. I started with KETO and gradually to Carnivore. After meat/salt/water for month or so, added eggs back. Now I describe as 98% Carnivore; my way of conveying what I’m doing. Trying to replace my long-term doc who would freak; last visit I just told her I was on a low oxalate diet and was surprised she even knew what oxalates were; she didn’t question.
I am 71 and going through a LOT while navigating this life changing lifestyle. I lost my son, my brother, my mother and my husband, in less than three years. I don’t have any energy to sweat the small or negative stuff. I try to support people, but do not judge them. I am often treading water during the most exhausting days of my life and I am just so grateful to be able to learn how to have optimal health. It’s simple but not easy because I have found myself all alone with very little help, suffered my second TBI and fourth rib injuries.
My Thyroid labs popped back into normal range and I lost 40# after five months of Berg’s heavy greens/veg KETO. Felt GREAT but led to my third kidney stone surgery. Found Sally Norton on Internet and what she teaches on oxalates. In looking for Ketovore, stumbled on Dr Ken Berry. At first could not wrap my head around carnivore but it started to make sense. Sticking to the diet has come easy; not so much the expense, adapting and debilitating off and on diarrhea.
God bless and thank you both; you have helped me so much.
I’m so sorry for all your losses Karen 🙏 that’s a lot to contend with. I just wanted to say how inspiring your post is, and to wish you the best health and happiness in the future 🤗
Scientifically speaking, a hyper carnivore eats at least 70% of their diet as meat. So you don't have to eat only meat to be a carnivore. I consider myself carnivore but I still eat fruit out of my garden a few weeks of the year, I still drink coffee, I still use black pepper as seasoning and I use coconut cream in my fat bombs when I want a treat.
You’re never, never, NeVer, NEVER going to get rid of negativity on social media -
Can I point out the irony of the four emphasized 'NEVERS' in your sentence on negativity on social media 😂 and you're not wrong...
26:40 In the peak performance coaching community that I am a part of, we have a saying 'What someone else thinks of you is none of your business' - you can only take ownership, responsibility for your own toughts and actions. That keeps most of us busy enough. ❤❤
I don’t know if you watched Dr. chaffee’s interview the other day, but his guest was saying that India has gone down as far as meat consumption and they have the highest illness and diseases in the world and their lifespan has gone down to 67. Hong Kong eats the most meat in the world and their lifespan is 88 years old.
But China also eats a lot of rice and a lot of carbohydrates as well as meat and they also eat desserts they don't have a specific carnivore diet
India is a toxic dump. That's why people are dying more in india today whereas 100 years ago their air had not been so polluted. So its no shock they are dying more
Lots of carbs but other aspects of their lifestyle contribute to there longevity. Being constantly active is a HUGE help in longevity.
@@Livetoeat171Hong Kong is not China !!
What about Japan where people live up to 100?
I'm from Canada, just a bit north of Toronto. Today I ate two hard-boiled eggs for breakfast, a ribeye steak for lunch and another ribeye steak for dinner! Go team meat! 🙂
Yum! 🤤
Now I'm hungry... LOL 🙂
If you have a budget to buy that kind of meat. And the lifestyle to support it.
I don't eat like that every day. I'd be broke. It was definitely a treat. 🤭
@@cindyfucile me too, carnivore is a very expensive diet unless you want to eat pork (I don't) or the same thing everyday, i.e. cheap meat.
“It’s all in your head” was my doctors’ answer to my autoimmune condition! I got so angry, it’s no wonder they thought it was mental!
My Dr., who I fired many, many years ago, actually said to me, "I don't know what to do with you. " Months later, I had asked her NP if she would check me for lupus. She literally put her hands up on her hips, looked at me, tilted her head to the side, & said, " Why do you think you need to be checked for lupus? " After I had just sat there & told her all the symptoms I have been having. So she got fired too!! They both made me feel like a hypochondriac! But guess what? After seeing a rheumatologist, I was diagnosed with lupus!! I think a lot of Dr's are just too lazy to dig deep & do their jobs, at our expense.
My view was starting the Lion diet cold turkey, and the goal was straight up losing fat ( weight ), and I did so 5 weeks ago. After two weeks I added bacon/butter/eggs. In those 5 weeks, starting at 290, I dropped 22 lbs, and 25 points on B.P. Now that the numerous health benefits are kicking in, losing weight is secondary, but a nice plus. I believe as a detoxing diet, it will take 6 months to a year to fully rid the body of the residuals from anything other than BBBE, and reduce the dreaded visceral fat. I see no problem eating things other than BBBE once those goals are achieved. What I am convinced of is that after 6 months to a year of BBBE I won't enjoy the tastes of certain things, especially processed/ultra processed crap. It's a great way to find what your body can tolerate, and it's a safe bet you're never going to over indulge on non carnivore items. The carnivore part of the intake will remain strong from then on, and a sampling of various other things will add a nice variety but not undo what you accomplished.
I eat sardines with scrambled eggs and ground beef. I've also made a paté recipe from Ketogenic Woman's website. I dreaded eating sardines the first time, but now I think of them as more flavorful than tuna fish.
I love ketogenic woman, and Sardines now❤
I love sardines as long as they're not packed in soybean or cottonseed oil. My family makes fun of me due to the smell, so I tried bristling sardines. Those have the tails still attached, which I don't eat. I have fun teasing the family by claiming I do. Those carb-crunching, pseudo-food eaters are all overweight. Silly family.
You are absolutely correct. I would not have started carnivore without these wonderful doctors that I subscribe to. I agree with your points. We should follow them and support them!
I went Carnivore before all those Doctors you mention started making RUclips videos. I found Kelly Hogan first and I never hear you mention her... a Pioneer... Also Butter Bob Briggs, Charles Washington, Dr. Lisa Weideman, Amber O'Hearn. Though, of course all the Doctors you mention are wonderful and I follow them all as well. Dante Ferrigno has been a very positive influence for me.
Yes, Exacto
Butter Bob inspired me to start.
Love Dante ❤
I agree with Kerry.. if it wasn't for RUclips I would have never known anything about this Nor would I be able to continue to have my success without it. Dr Berry was who I learned from.. also "carnivore quest" has been a key to my success, as well as Dante. In the last year it's been all the other physicians speaking on your channel Homestead How.
I no longer have type 2, HBP, migraines, acid reflux, anxiety, environmental allergies, fatty liver, high creatine levels, chronic pain, inflammation and the list goes on. Main thing I'm saving around $900 a month by not using 36 medication / supplements. The Cherry on top is I've dropped weight. I've been heavy all my life at the highest 282 lbs in my 20s. My mom put me on all kinds of terrible diets when I was younger but it wasn't until I started Suzanne Somers diet with no carbohydrates and lost around 80 lb. My weight came back to 236 lbs. I became diabetic and my doctor encouraged me to learn how to fast with Dr Jason Fung so that drop me down to 198 lbs. Then I fluctuated off and on to 219 during the pandemic in my A1C was 11.9 with blood sugar at 336 . Was put on Janumet with a side effect of heart failure. It wasn't until I couldn't hardly stand to work as a hairdresser with the pain in my feet (which was neuropathy) So 2 years ago April 26th I decided to try carnivore and the elimination diet. I am now 151 and needing at least 10 more pounds to go. The best part is I feel like I'm in my thirties !
I have many people in my life that are negative about my way of eating but With RUclips and people like you Kerry making carnivore content with doctors and like-minded individuals on the subject, I will continue to succeed the rest of my life on the PHD. God bless you and Jen for doing this and may God continue to bless you and your family ❤️ Barb
I agree, we need a definition for the newbies. Then later they can add anything they like if it agrees with them. To each their own.
I did fairly strict carnivore (just animal products including cheese) for over a year. I tried Lion for about 2 weeks of that first year & I feel great. I really haven’t lost much weight, although it isn’t my goal. Now I’m more ketovore & it’s much easier to get my kids to eat. I’m not seeing any ill effects, so I’ll continue eating like this. I live near Dante & got to meet him last week. He’s such a nice guy. You’re really going to love meeting him. Thanks for your posts!!
Very sorry to hear about your friend who died. 50 is extremely young. Just lost my cousin Steve on the 11th…more like a brother to me, and he was 64. It’s heartbreaking.
M. So sorry for your loss. 64 is too young!😢
@@Nan-1017 Thank you Nan.
Very sorry for your loss!
So sorry for the loss of your friend. Gone too soon. This was a fantastic livestream! This topic needed to be discussed.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. Too young. My condolences to all his loved ones. ❤
You guys are amazing, keep up the good work. Proud of my Healing Humanity Shirts and waiting for someone in my town to recognize it and get excited. I don't think many carnivores in my city YET. 😊
Sorta carnivore here. A toast to you with a shot of Jack Daniel’s. Life is beautiful.
I am watching from Orlando. You have such a kind loving heart. That is why we love watching you.
Otown represent 👍😄
Thanks for discussing this. I am so tired of the You Tube militants and grifters with all the ignorant b.s. in the carnivore space.
You’re right. We need to focus on what we can control and put in our mouths. Who cares what other people think. Just don’t post, talk to everyone you know looking for approval cause you won’t get it. Do what’s best for you.
Age 78 over one year carnivore now! I too considered it an elimination diet. I made the mistake of trying a small amount of vegetables last week. Took 3 days to recover with diarrhea. Now better - lamb last night, burger patties today. Super you are going to meet Dr Anthony Chaffee in person! So sorry about your 50 year old friend. What a shock. As a widow I have to tell you that the most important time was a few weeks after the funeral and suddenly there is no one. Be there for her! Blessings and love to his widow.
Jen - your face is slimming down, losing the puff! True carnivore doesn't include seed oils, or sugar, or processed food, etc. I consider 98% carnivore (only animal products) carnivore! For me a bit of spices is ok. . Good for you Jen for asking him to tone it down, etc. Sometimes I can't take his yelling and I don't listen to the rest of the video. I do not like hearing harping rants. Keep it up.
SHIRTS! - Please have women's long sleeved cotton t's. !!!
Love Dante, love all of the carnivore U Tubers, everyone can find a person in this community that they can identify with! And that is the magic! Find what works for you, tweak it, work it, live it!
Jen, you look great. I love you guys. We are earthlings just trying to survive this insanity and I love how real you guys are. Thank you! ❤
Thank you for helping Katie, we're collecting donations too. We love being part of this community.
You're the best!
I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend 🙏
I believe as this way of eating is being more recognized for all of its benefits, it should not be a surprise that there is a lot of opposition or negative comments trying to cause division among us and that's why we should double down on being encouraging and supportive of one another as we do our Journeys differently and are in different places in our journey with different health concerns .😊
Love u guys ! Whole family gone heavy animal based - proper human diet healing autistic twins
You were the first one I watched and then went the rabbit whole of all the doctors! Thank you 🙏
@HomeSteadHow Please pick up this story ❤
"hyper carnivore" is 70% or more diet from meat - I frequently eat stuff like sauerkraut or a few nuts and very very occaisionally a bit of fruit (local, in season etc.)
I still consider myself to be carnivore, the main thing is ditching the buckets of so called "healthy" vegetables, foods that didn't exist a thousand years ago, packaged goods etc.
Everyone needs to experiment to find their own perfect - whatever you need to do to keep yourself mostly carnivore is fine in my opinion.
A more than 50% meat diet with animal products is very far from the typical diet, so I don’t know why this type of animal-based doesn’t come up very much in the carnivore places, that I have seen.
This is such an important message. Let’s support each other and meet one another where we are. There’s enough stress in making these major life changes without judgement and worrying if we’re doing it “right”. It could take years to get to the optimal diet for you. There are nearly 8 billion people on this planet and the same number of optimal diets for each individual, and it changes depending where we are in our life.
Hello from Arizona. Love all that you are doing for the human race!
Condolences to Katie! Watching after live - Jen I've become more emotional too! 💜Thanks Mann family
I’m so sorry to hear about your friend passing away unexpectedly! Not surprised you’re stepping up to help where you can. Big hugs to you!
I am glad you discussed this carnivore diet situation. That is why I changed my name from Hopeful Carnivore to Animal Based Hope. Love that you did this.
So sorry to hear about the passing of your friend.
Thanks guys! I’ve been on carnivore side 2 Jan, lost 70 lbs, last labs came back great, well except for LDL, but who care in that!
Lost my husband when my son was 7 to cancer. Just be there .....more so after the initial shock, funeral ..in the weeks, months and years to come . Everyone is there very early on , but it's the continued support that helps the most ❤
Yes, that was my experience too. It’s nice to hear from someone with condolences months later.
@@lindaloranger2998 I didn't need to hear condolences .months later but just an occasional call, invite to dinner. Seems that your former "couple " friends drop away after I became a "single" mom 🥺
@@Carnivore1959 three women in my neighborhood have become widows in the last few months. This is a good reminder for me to invite them over for dinner or card game. Thanks!
I started out the carnivore education the same way. First “D” then I started listening to these doctors. I was looking at having a knee replacement to have a better quality of life. Then, the light bulb went on….. I’m waking up every morning in constant soreness, aches and pains. I thought, if I’m getting a knee replacement to have quality of life, I’m still stuck with all these aches and pains. So, after listening to the different doctors and “D”, I decided to go on Carnivore starting March 1st. Thought I would do it for 21 days… I kept on going.. I did it for 60 days. My surgery was May 1st, I have fallen off more than I fallen off more than I’d like too, but I have realized I’m starting to feel sluggish. Therefore, I’ve gotten back on track as of 2 days ago. I will say, Day 2 I already felt so much better, inflamation was gone. My energy was amazing and for the first time in so many years, I felt like I wasn’t in a fog. My thinking is so spot on now. It feels so good to get out of bed and live life now. I honestly feel as though I have found the fountain of youth. When I’m staying constant to carnivore, I feel like I did as a youth. Back then, I ate nothing but meat….imagine that… was doing something healthy, didn’t know it.
I made a beef roast in instapot yesterday, finished off beef casserole. My breakfast this am was a a la Carter bo jangles cajan chicken filled. Over a month and feeling great. Losing weight down a pant size, no acid reflux no matter how late I eat, no gall bladder symptoms, healing faster from normal wounds, sleeping much better! List goes on and on of things I'm noticing, skin looks better! I'm in for the long haul!
Happy for you ! ❤
I was 100 percent carnivore for 5 years now i can eat mushrooms onions and some sauce and feel great still mostly meat and seafood i feel amazing
Thanks for the inspiration! Cooked some stew meat for 45 minutes in my pressure cooker with butter, salt, and some garlic powder. Fall-apart tender and DELICIOUS!
People don’t think their diet is a detriment until it’s too late or until they have to reverse everything
Yes, definitions are necessary. I do carnivore as a tool when I have had some food that inflames me. It is my pain reliever.
I am mostly carnivore, but i am doing as an elimination, figuring what causes inflamation and issues with me. Figured out some spices I used to use regularly cause major inflamation in my hands and feet and gut. This weekend I made it through with minimal damage....had family in town, i even managed to bake a cake and make my favorite food for my brothers bday for everyone else without partaking at all. I allowed myself strawberries with heavy whipping cream for desert, as it was a special occasion. Ate mostly meat, but had a few small things (sugar free homemade hot chocolate and strawberries). I did accidently eat some spices with sugar and I definitely felt it the next day...still a few small tiredness effect today, but getting better. I am going to stabalize myself this week and then work on testing out more plain food items so see what my body can handle. I am hoping to be able to add in small amounts of fruit and fruitlike veggies in the future. But my body will tell me what is fine and what isnt.
Dave from Silicon Valley California. Today I ate a cold steak for a mid morning breakfast while working at my desk, then ate a couple carnivore crisps and had half a stick of butter and a short coffee. Later, I had some peppered salami and sour cream, around 2 pm, then at home around 7:30 pm I had more sour cream, some kefir, half an ounce of raw fermented beets, and a few pork rinds.
I am in Ketosis all day long now for two and a half months. Just entering my second year of eating mostly animal based foods. No grain and no sugar. Some ferment now, but 1% of my diet. I eat bacon and steak regularly and sides of butter and or sour cream. Love Whole milk kefir.
My body has healed after 2 years of carnivore. 15 years of issues gone.
You’re the second person I’ve seen on here mentioning 2 years of healing… makes me feel better. I’m 1 year in and still working on feeling good. You hear so many people say they are healed after 3 months listing a dozen healed ailments lol. 2 years feels more realistic.
@@Soapgirl64 Hi. So, there are phases to healing, and different levels of trauma that we suffer from. Some of our symptoms would be acute, meaning they would come and go, flaring up under some mysterious combination of causal actions on our part, such as eating a certain food or combination of foods, or, contacting some material that sets of a reaction like a histamine. Then, there are chronic issues we develop over long periods, such as liver disease, obesity, thyroid disease, diabetes and pre-diabetes, or insulin resistance, and other kinds of long term slowly accumulated dissonance with our body vs a healthy body (I would define a healthy body on absent of all disease and in perfect condition. That is not to say anything about athleticism or strength, nor beauty or perfection of looks, but, meaning on the whole of the quality of the cellular body, that it is in harmony with itself. All humans have a start that is as close to this state as possible, minus genetic diseases that are of a nature beyond this description. Children have massive resiliency, extreme metabolisms (most, but not all, as some children may be born with diseases and diabetes). The myth of food (and stuff being portrayed as food but isn't) is that we can consume much of it in our youth, and unbeknownst to us, we pay a tax which is on a sliding scale, the tax rises as we age. The cells have a limit that decreases over time, but our dependence on the "feel good comfort foods" increases over time as our body and brain work to decieved us about that is happening inside our bodies, and one day, many years later we wake up sick, ill, unwell, incapable, weak, feable, and dying without realizing the brevity of what we have done.
We should never think we can fully reverse all of the damage, because much of the damage is a one way acceleration of aging at cellular and genetic scale. But we can halt it, and repair much of it. simply be realigning what we eat with what is nourishing as opposed to poisoning ourselves. This process has layers.
At first, we will notice a very short timeline of reversal of acute symptoms such as eczema, arthritis flares, gut issues such as GERD, bloating, digestion problems, brain fog. I think these clear up rather quickly on a scale from weeks to months. But, because there are acute responses to triggers, they can easily come back if you fail to stay the course of the diet, which in this stage is essentially the ideal elimination diet. We haven't learned yet that it is fully nutritionally complete for us, which creates a war in our brain and our actions when in the presence of foods we no longer consume, but loved. One slip and thos acute symptoms recur.
Why? The underlying diseases which foster the acute responses, are a structural impediment to a quick return to any normal SAD diet. We have to cure the structural damage which eroded our cellular base, the organs. We need much more time to first eliminate the secondary underlying disregulation caused by visceral fat in our bodies and organs. Once we do, I think our hormone regulation can regain its proper function, and as our organs start to get the proper nourishment, and our liver rebuilds and other changes to our gut and digestive systems, our brain, and our metabolism, we can heal and possibly reverse quite a lot of past trauma to the body.
I noted many changes in the first months. Amazing changes for me, but I was not fully committed to the idea and would occasionally think that when those symptoms were gone that somehow I could go back to eating those foods. Everytime I did, the symptoms would reappear within a few days. It was this that, after 18 months, I fully understood there are root causes below that still need time to fully repair.
I became less obsessed with my weight. More obsessed with being as fully animal based as possible. I am 62. I have a lot of healing to do. I also need to address my abuse of sleep time. I have always been a short sleeper. 3-4 hours. That was a forced but tenable solution during the years raising kids and running a business. It took has caught up with me. That kind of stress is costly to a human body. No time to repair.
Take it slow, but with 100% effort at adherence to the diet. It becomes much easier over time as your brain let's go of the chemical dependencies for carbs. Trust me when I say that your body will adapt to making what it needs if you give it the proper nutrition. On balance I eat more fat than protein. I love butter and sour cream. There are sugars in sour cream, undeniable and at 1gram per serving, so, when I eat sour cream I am getting up to 10 grams of lactose sugar per day (when I eat the whole package). I eat steak, generally ribeye but also other cuts. I always add butter to lean meats. I might cook ground chicken or ground turkey on occasion and always add half a stick of butter per pound minimum, and I might add powdered ginger and even a few pepper flakes to season it lightly (I don't fear these small amounts of spice as I only use them once in a while and not every day), and I'll add sour cream to make it a creamy meat meal. It's delicious. I eat steak on balance about 20-25 days per month, and I'll eat bacon on the few other days with some other meats occasionally. I use beef tallow that I save and strain, as well as butter. I eat pork occasionally and cook great ribs in my crock pot. I salt all my meat. I let my meat sit out with salt on it, and like it room temperature when I cook it. I prefer grilled meat but also roasted or air fried.
I still have healing to do. But, I know it is happening. Sleep is the crucial thing I am working on now. How to sleep better and deeper. How to reduce anxiety of aging, kids, work, health.
Keep up the fight. Dave
My big meal for today was grilled ball tip steaks, brat and beef hotdog. With butter
Jenn is looking amazing. So sorry to hear about Katie’s loss. Praying for her.
Don’t forget Professor Bart Kay! Always going up against those “experts” trying to debunk and discredit the carnivore lifestyle!
Love Bart Kay!!
I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend Kurt. 🙏🏼😢💔
May Perpetual Light shine upon him, and may his soul, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. 🙏🏼
Sorry for the loss of your friend. Too many people die suddenly since 2021.
😢🙏
Love having you both on ❤
Just ordered a T shirt. Can't wait to get it and show it off. ❤
Thanks for all you do! I’m watching from Terre Haute, Indiana
I’m from BC Canada! I ate beef ribs for lunch and chicken thighs and legs for supper!
So sorry for your loss. That’s very sad but thank you for sharing that 💝
We're all gonna die no matter how well we eat. Turn to Jesus and he'll give you eternal life.
when i'm on ketosis I'm clear minded and focus, more energy, and in this state I'm able to read the Bible and pray better than when I'm eating carbs sugar always anxious and cannot concentrate and listen to the Holy Spirit
@@jillhoola3653 Holy Spirit led me to Carnivore. I'm not against the diet at all just emphasizing our need for Jesus. God Bless You 🤟🙏🙌
Why not live a happy pain free life..instead of a miserable depressed overweight painful life until we die..you chose
The Bible also teaches that our bodies are temples and that we should be good stewards of them. It’s a blessing and a miracle to be alive with our bodies. Honor God with your bodies.
@@Homesteadhow Absolutely, just stay heavenly minded. Praying the Holy Spirit givea your family and your friends family peace during this difficult time. God Bless 🙏🙌🤟
I’m very sorry to hear about your friend. Prayers to the family and friends.🙏
The main problem I see with being a carnivore is the social problems! I’m 73 and I just spent three weeks with my daughter, my three grandchildren and son-in-law and since they are not carnivore I basically cook every one of my own meals and often eat meals alone or after they finished their meal since I couldn’t cook until after they had cooked! At times, I basically sat at the dinner table, drinking water while they consumed, they are poisonous sugary American diet. Luckily, for me, I am even a mentally stronger person than I’ve always been on carnivore over the last 10 months, so it didn’t bother me much except how much I realized the inconsideration that they didn’t even know they were creating. I also find it interesting how many times I get the comment you’re too skinny I currently weigh what I did in high school. I’m not a mean person, so I don’t mention to them that you’re too fat, overweight and out of shape which is typical of the standard American diet. Keep up your great work. I’m looking forward to your movie, and since we are only less than Onepercent of the population apparently we just have to grin and bear it as we watch our friends and family continue to be ill and probably die Young due to their own inability to embrace carnivore. It’s a sad commentary on America.
18 Hour fasting 3 egg omelet with 1/2 cup stir fry vegetables and dinner will be 200g beef and garden salad with lemon extra virgin olive oil and Celtic salt
New Haven, CT……two eggs, two slices of bacon, chicken wings tonight. I have added some watermelon on occasion, and a salad occasionally too, and I’m just starting to feel better after two months.
Is that all you eat in a day ?? I eat 2 eggs and 2 pieces bacon for breakfast and im hungry 2 hours later.....Also, Milford CT !
@@x.y.7385 Try eating 4 eggs instead of 2 that may keep your hunger away longer
@@x.y.7385 I have very little appetite. Some days I eat a little more. My daughter lives in Milford.
How many ancient humans knew their blood type in order to determine what to eat? None. They ate what they could hunt and gather.
Kerry , you are blessed , Jen is such a beautiful person ❤
They are ! So glad I found these guys 💕🥩🎶🥚
Thank you for sharing this.
What a wonderful couple you are so inspiring thankyou for being you .....& very sorry for your loss.....watching from Australia 🇦🇺
Love the energy. I haven't watched in awhile and want to say you look great Kerry! Keep doing what you are doing. So nice to cyber meet Jen for the first time for me. Y'all are doing great work! Thank you.
Hi, Kerry and Jen! I can't go to Hack Your Health this year, but I did splurge and buy a ticket to the Brazilian Steakhouse fundraiser. I can't wait to meet you and all the other carnivores that I follow on RUclips. See you there! Carniv-ROAR!
I've been carnivore 3 years and tried to quit coffee a few weeks ago. Stopping that addiction reignited my sugar addiction causing me to put sugar in my milk. I woke up the next day with blisters on my face and arm. The blisters turned into a staph infection. I had to pay $1,000 for emergency medical care. I'm now worried about it spreading to vital organs. If I have sugar one more time it will.
The moral of the story is cutting out certain things may make your situation worse. I would have been WAY better off continuing with coffee because I'm drinking it again anyways to soothe the pain of all this sh*t I just went through.
Depression, anxiety, and anger have been peaking as well during this whole debacle. Even suicidal thoughts came up once.
It's crazy how sugar can do all that damage!
Nevin K. Are you alright now? Omg what a story. I feel for you and hope you’re ok💙😘
@@Nan-1017 I'm a bit broken mentally but slowly building my immune system back up.
@@nevinkuser9892 😘♥️ well, I hope you feel better soon, but I hear ya hon.
I'm thankful that you share your excitement it's because it's real.
I love the friendship between you two talking about Jen's crushes.
I will be visiting when we move to Illinois. Love y'alls content
Carnivore to me is a primarily meat-based diet. So majority of your diet is meat. The level of strictness is up to the individual, often times depending on their goals.
Some are looking to reverse or improve medical issues, some are looking to lose weight (which often addresses medical issues), some are trying to address their carb / sugar addiction, some are trying to address their mental struggles such as depression, brain fog, etc. Some start out truly eliminating and going strictly meat.
Then after experiencing healing, slowly try reintroducing certain food items in the hopes of pinpointing what may have been causing some issues such as skin or stomach problems for example. Some slowly transition out of concerns about keto flu or oxalate dumping. Some people like sticking to grass-fed beef and free-range eggs. Some have budget issues and can’t afford that. Some people have allergies or religious concerns and have to adjust for that. Some absolutely need the variety so they look for different carnivore recipes that give them a sense of the food items they miss like carnivore pizza for example. Some people think it’s best to just keep things simple and thus avoid temptation. Some people are able to moderate and can have for example cheese. Some people have a hard time moderating and might love cheese and have a hard time moderating their intake of cheese. Etc. etc. etc.
I see it as a good, better, best situation. Best (most think) would be grass-fed beef and free-range eggs with just salt and water. Dr. Berry says if you can only afford sausages and canned or deli meat, do that for now and improve the quality of your food if/when your means improves. But just start eating meat! Dr. Berry also says if you want to have something on a special occasion like a dessert for example, then have a small piece then get back on the wagon the next day. Of course it depends on your individual situation. If you have a carb addiction, you are better off just avoiding that dessert or else find yourself dealing with sugar cravings once again. But for those who want to start and don’t know how, remember BBBE - beef, butter, bacon, and eggs (be mindful that some bacon have sugar in it) and drink water - lots of it. A rule of thumb is to take your weight, divide it in half and drink that many ounces daily.
As for spices, I thought I couldn’t do without them. So I started out by using them. But as my taste buds adjusted, I found that I was fine with just salt.
But if you start out with just eliminating or reducing ultra processed foods (those that usually come in a package or box and have a long list of ingredients, especially ingredients that you can’t recognize or have a hard time pronouncing), reducing or eliminating seed oils; reducing or eliminating grains and sugar and opting for whole foods (foods as close to how they appear in nature) and eating meat and healthy fats, you’ll likely feel so much better and see an improvement in your health. And remember to give it time. Your body might need time to heal before it starts shedding excess weight (if that is your goal). So rather than looking at the scale constantly that can fluctuate just with water intake or increase due to muscle growth, observe your body composition, how your clothes are fitting, how you feel in general. As far as being in a cult or having a label - who cares? At the end all that matters is your health and how YOU feel!
I really love you. You are so simple and full of life
You’re right about the dogma and the groups. I had to leave a very popular carnivore group. Everybody knows these people. Because I would make a comment and I would get absolutely blasted. Just because I drink coffee or just because I had a salad when I went out or I don’t even remember everything I would say and I was treated very rudely and I left the Facebook group. I still watch them on RUclips but after being treated so horribly, I left. I don’t do that to people if you want to have a salad and you’re a carnivore or a ketovore good for you if you want to have something on vacation go for it. Will get back to what works for you. Vegetables didn’t work for me. They made me have a lot of joint pain. And I never really eat them. I don’t eat cauliflower or broccoli or carrots or artichokes or any of that stuff I used to eat. Very rarely do I have a salad. Not even once a month but I do drink coffee so I’m not really a true carnovore now am I but if somebody wants to drink coffee, that’s fine with me I don’t care.
You guys are amazing I have learned sooo much from you
New discovery last night while I contemplated contents of fridge… cold beef patty with mustard and 2 slices of thin turkey breast! Cured craving for stuff I knew I shouldn’t eat. It worked!
Thank you very much for this very thoughtful video today. I have been following an appropriate human diet for more than 25 years and I am in perfect health. This way of eating is called a lion diet now. It doesn't matter to me what you call it. What matters to me is that I'm in perfect health. I am full of vitality. I will live a long and healthy stable beautiful life, despite all the stresses and hiccoughs that happen along the way and much tragedy too. Sadly my husband died when he was 55, from a medical error. Yes medical error. My heart goes out to your friend whose husband just died at age 50.
Life is short! There's no time to waste, nitpicking and judging people like a troll.
In my humble view, judging people in such a manner, is a distraction and a waste of one’s precious human life. There's so much work to do to contribute to the healing of humanity. Becoming distracted by judging others is a waste of time and energy. I’ve been called a quack so many times I rarely share that I am a carnivore. I am in perfect health at age 65 years old. That is the only thing that counts for me. I don't care what people say about me. My view is that people who say these kind of things are not healthy because health includes having a kind and compassionate mind. Health is not just having a robust body but also having a kind heart and compassionate mind. This is my humble suggestion: I hope you include loving kindness, being gentle and tender towards each other, on the journey to healing humanity along with transforming and manifesting a healthy body. The journey is what is the home and the truly healthy home requires balance and self awareness. Healing humanity, at least for me, means healing all of being a human being-a holistic balance of healing mind, body and Spirit. As we heal in balance, we are compelled to heal our environment and our societies. It is all connected. With much love and deepest gratitude.
I love eating carnivore -- I feel so much better than I used to. But here, my dad just passed away. And soon, more of the people I love will die. I don't want to live a long life, a life without them. My greatest prayer is that my health be burned out in service to my community, my friends, and my family. I want to be healthy in order to serve the Lord better, and may He take me when He will.
Aunt Flo has always been the code for "period time" as far back as i can remember and I'm 57.
Everyone has different needs. I do not like the labels. Do what makes you feel better. Learn as much as you can a day then create your own plan. Thanks for the video! So sorry about the loss of your friend. ❤️
Alright, inquiring minds gotta' know.. Checked on the site & didn't see any of the foiled letter versions. Where can I order the sweatshirt Jen is wearing & is it offered in a zip up or t-shirt (w/ the foiled lettering)? Love it. Am near if you sell 'em at the theater only. Hopefully still avail online or somewhere. Pls. let me know. :)
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Heartbreaking. 💔🙏
