WOW! Congratulations to you!
Great job!! These are my goals as well 😊
That's fantastic Tom! Keep it going
Oh my goodness! That is really amazing 👏 I need to get on this bandwagon.
Insane! Happy for you 🎉
Keto dropped my 144 blood glucose to 91, hbA1c went from 6.2 to 5.3, blood pressure 140/90 to 110/70, total serum cholesterol from 210 to 175, triglycerides from 185 to 67, no more cardiac inverted T-waves, and my PSA prostate cancer test went from 12 down to 6 - normal is under 4. Also lost 45 lbs.
Took 9 months to get all of these results, blood pressure took the longest.
I couldn't stick to keto cause of all the fake desserts etc, just made me crave more sweets, I do better with salads, meats and I do still eat some sweets, would like to exchange it for fruit.
@@angelgirldebbiejomy hubby doesn't like doing without dessert so I had to learn how to make keto versions of many so he would stick to a keto way of eating. It isn't easy, it's just worth all the benefits!
I'm on my way to have the same results.😊
PSA test doesn't give any other reliable information, other than that you have a prostate. It doesn't say if you have a cancer, and people who do have it have their values at any random point of the scale. In general no one should test it if there are no other symptoms. Looking at all the people operated, the operation does not lengthen your lifespan - it does make 30% of the patients impotent though, or give them chronic pain. Great that you found a better way. 👍👍
@@JoyfullyOrangeDeborah Every night I have a generous 10 oz Pyrex bowl of FROZEN (not jiggly) sugar free Jello topped with a little half & half and moderate whipped cream. Just like eating a creamy snowcone in a bowl! Total carbs: 2-3 per 10 oz bowl. During the hot summer months, add vodka or rum for a delicious (almost carb free) fruit daiquiri. Chocolate version: Blended (then frozen) Hershey's baking cocoa with unsweetened vanilla almond milk and a splash of DaVinci's sugar free/carb free chocolate syrup topped with REAL whipped cream. About 3-4 carbs. Add vodka/rum for a delicious mudslide without adding carbs (but you can't avoid the added alcohol calories). Bon appétit!
11 months carnivore. No cheating. I lift and ride a mountain bike. 70 years old. My testosterone just measured at 901.
Boom 🎉
901 at 70 years old! Holy crap man! That’s amazing! I am almost 4 weeks in and I look forward to seeing mine go up. I’m right at 500 ng/dl at 39. It’s right smack in the middle. I would love to see mine go up to where yours is at. Here’s hoping.
My goodness, I have never seen the definition of high testosterone. Good job king, we love to see it.
No TRT? What have your previous levels come in at? Not saying its not possible at your age naturally, it would just mean you are a genetic outlier.
@@MagnetarCO I was 744 before Carnivore. So yes my levels have always been high but not this high.
Doctors like Berry, Chaffee, and Baker, are changing lives online one by one, without charging them for anything. Awesome to see.
changing them into dead people.
Their names, Berry, Chaffee(so close to coffee) and Baker makes me smile everytime!
As of today I have gone down from 325 lbs to 241 lbs (I’m 6’4) through Carnivore/ Keto. My triglycerides went down 129 point. Size 42 pants now to 36. 15 more lbs to go. My wife is so pleased. I have lost all desire for sweets. It’s like a miracle! No, it is a miracle!
Wonderful!! TY for this inspiration!!
I’m 6 4 also I’m losing weight myself Google says guys our height are supposed to be 182 to 222 so I’m trying to get around there I used to be size 34 waist I’m hoping to get back to that but atleast I want to get to below 220 pounds or just under 100 kilos
I'm type 2 diabetic, obese, stroke, high bp, depression, arthritis, eyc. . I've been on Carnivore 1 week and it just dawned on me a few hours ago that I already feel BETTER. Physically, mentally, energy, motivation, perspective - just 1 week and I do feel noticeably better.
That's excellent! How exciting!
@@progressthroughpain ❤️
Amazing keep it up! Make sure to post updates from time to time! I know I would and many other people would love to hear them! :) Much love to you!
Similar experience here, type 2 diabetic, A1C now 5.8, down for the 9% range in 4 months. I never could get my diabetes under control by the advice given to me by my endocrinologist. He kept saying low carb diet, high in proteins, but carbs are the cause of diabetes!
@@Systemlord30 Yep! Glad you're doing great!
Dr. Berry is a true life saver! He has turned my health around. I easily lost 70 pounds (with zero exercise), keep the weight off, and my lab results shocked my doctors by getting all organ functions, from liver to kidneys back to ideal levels. This is a diet that you can easily maintain for life without ever being hungry. Thank you Dr. Berry.
Isn't it bizarre. People never believe my numbers.
Amen, brother!
@@glengarbera7367 I was in a rehab facility recovering from two broken legs (hit by a car while walking). The doctor ran my blood work when I was admitted and said he had never seen such low TRIG and LDL numbers.
Both in the 30's.
@@glengarbera7367 they r institutionalized.
I'm a lean mass hyper responder. 4year keto/ketovore/carnivore. Lost 80lbs maintaining well and I feel great, better than I felt in my 20s. I'm mid-40s now. This is the proper human diet, and no one will ever change my mind or get me to believe meat is bad. Kinda pisses me off we were lied to about it since the 70s😡
I lost 78lbs (250lbs to 172lbs) in under 6 months and my A1C level went down from 7.6 to 5.0 (February-July) without meds on mostly carnivore diet. Health problems gone! Thank you Dr. Berry🙏😊
Huzzah!
Carnivore just works
Im on my way my man im at 205-210 down from 265. Started in June 2023.
Keep up the great work! I’m about to start
@@jodieh.3009
Thank you 🙏 it has been a year since I started and I continue feeling great👍😊 I wish you the same success that I have had till this day!!!
Ketovore for 2 months and my back pain is gone, nails strong, dandruff 90 percent gone hair grew an inch. Depression gone too
What type of salt are you eating?
@Debbie-rp1pi at the time redmonds but now just salt from Amazon
Regular salt.
@@lex2951 thanks
Started Ketovore yesterday 😀. My only concern is that I’m thin: 5’5”, 128 lbs, and lab values are okay: Chol 203, HDL 98, LDL 103, TG 35. I don’t want to lose weight but this way of eating scares me a little bit because everyone says they have lost a lot of weight. I have RA, therefore inflammation and joint pain are the main reasons I’m doing this. Hope it helps me and I don’t lose much weight 🙏
So thankful for everything you do Dr. Berry. Carnivore has been a complete game changer for me. Been doing it for almost 2 years now and the back pain that used to have me in bed for days is completely gone.
Must be terrible boring eating meat only the thought of it puts me off
Once again everyone, ignore the trolls
@@plipertyplap4899I'm taking it you haven't tried this way of eating, have you? Some days I eat only meat but a variety of meats. Other days, I have vegetables included. I've lost 60 lbs, been able to stop blood pressure and statin meds and had my A1C come down from 6.4 to 5.3. Dr Berry is a carnivore but his wife isn't . Please troll somewhere else.
@plipertyplap4899 Rare, medium rare absolutely delicious soyboy
Well keep grazing
One year ketovore and just had my annual labs. Best ever in 10 years especially my thyroid! Thanks for all your encouragement and great information!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes! I was Ketovore and I had my thyroid checked this week after being strict carnivore and my numbers all improved just in the last 3 months! So thankful for this knowledge.
Did you have hyperthyroidism? How exactly did you make the required changes?
@@adelinekeys6582 I had hypothyroidism and didn’t want to be put on medication. I had already switched to carnivore but asked the doctor to allow me to change my diet even further and do a combination of Carnivore and Autoimmune Protocol and test again after 3 months. If I didn’t improve I was going to be put on medication. I am thrilled with that news and I’m now introducing 1 food a week to see if I have any reactions. Also testing again in 3 months to make sure my levels are good.
@@adelinekeys6582 I have hypothyroidism. My medication was just reduced from 88 mcg. to 77 mcg. of levothyroxine by my doctor after being on it for four years. I have just been following a ketovore diet for a year now.
@@mentorjessicacoaching I was skeptical at first but my other numbers (lipids, A1C, etc.) have also improved. This food lifestyle works!!
(Marion Boulden in the PHD community) My a1c was 13% (2015). It was still 11.4% when I went in for a heart cath on 3/3/2022. That's when I had 2 strokes and a heart attack *while* they were putting stents in. I started a ketogenic diet as soon as they allowed me to eat in the hospital, which was a b***h, because of the strokes I could not speak/read/write (also I was paralyzed on my right side)! The dietician had pictures that I could point to, so I managed.
The ketogenic diet I started on about 3/5/2022 brought my a1c down to 8.0%. Not good enough. I thank G-d that I found Dr. Berry's channel. I started a carnivore diet on 3/13/2023, a year after my strokes/MI. My a1c is now 6.1% after nine months on carnivore (still got some work to do), and my fasting insulin is now 7.7. I am very much reversing my T2D...
Also... I'm positive that the ketones helped me recover very quickly from the strokes. I was able to go back to work within 2 months of my CVAs.
Oh. And I've lost 35lbs in 18 months through a ketogenic, and then a carnivore diet.
Congrats on the recovery from 2 CVAs!!! That’s amazing. Keep it up
Today I celebrate one year of being Carnivore! It's my one year Carniversary! Thank you for speaking out and speaking truth to power and idiocy and supporting us in the community. You, your book, and others have changed my life! You have my gratitude for life!
Thirty days eating carnivore / keto has returned the best labs in a decade. Trigs are still a little high and HDL is a little low, but they are moving in the right direction and everything else is great. My new young doctor is amazed and thrilled.
Same issue here. I don’t have lab issues prior to starting ketovore. I am not diabetic. However mg TG are super high 3 months in. And HDL dropped from 80 to 40. Of course doc wants new labs and started to preach to me about low carb diet and exercise which I am doing. My doc isn’t happy. But hoping it will change after next draw.
@@kimgraham8571 Same here. Triglycerides went up HDL which was already low went down in only a month. Switched to very low carb Keto with more emphasis on fatty fish then meats. Hope it helps. Wish I could talk to a Doctor that was onboard with this to help me but to no avail. All are pay to play and you still don't get to talk to the Doctor. Unfortunately Dr. Berry is the same. The program may be good but the old mighty dollar still takes precedent in medicine.
@@kimgraham8571 any updates? My latest blood lab 3 weeks ago, my Trigylercides were 1235 and I'm 3 weeks in Keto/Carnivore and I'm hoping this will lower my Trig's
@@pouncerminned863 yes! HDL back to 90 which makes total cholesterol high. The triglycerides are still high but with HDL being so high she’s not worried anymore. I hope you find that yours improve as well!! But it’s taken mine almost a year. Worth the wait.
I started keto about 4/5 years ago to try and improve ME/CFS which I had suffered from since 2005. I was so severe that for many years I was bedbound and later housebound with the odd trip out. But I struggled to get into ketosis and wasn't losing weight - exercise/activity makes ME worse.
In January 2023 I hopped on the scales and was horrified to see I was 16 stone and a size 20/22 UK. I asked hubby to just cook me meat with eggs - nothing else except maybe some fish now and then. He struggled not to add veg to my plate but we got there!
Today, at 64, I feel better than I did since my 30's! My fatigue, brain fog and joint aches have gone. I am no longer bedbound or housebound and am doing heavy DIY and gardening. I am also working with my horses again - mucking out, training, etc.
In just one year I have dropped down to 12 1/2 stone (Huzzah!) and I'm a UK size 12/14. Needless to say I feel smug and healthy!
I got my bloods done last week and my results a couple of days ago. Liver and kidney function = perfect. Thyroid = perfect. In fact everything was good except I was high in vitamin D - in Scotland! 😂 So reduce the supplements...
Best of all, they didn't bother doing my cholestoral/triglycerides etc because I have been brutally honest with my doctors/nurses and told them as long as everything else is good I'm not worried. They know about my diet and have been asking what it involves- taking notes and being interested in what i eat. I've only had one doctor tell me I'm going to die from a heart attack or stroke but that was 18 months ago and over the phone so I couldnt drop the trygliceride mic drop in person.
I know I'm not the only one who's doing well, but they can't ignore the improvements to my health AND appearance over the years.
I just check in with Dr Berry every now and then to keep myself inspired and on the right track 😇
Absolutely fantastic well done. That is truly amazing. I bet your hubby was delighted for you. I'm Scottish as well and waiting on blood results. I too take vit d supplements so it'll be interesting to see what mine are. Do you take vit k2 mk7? 😊🏴
High vitamin D in Scotland! Maybe it was in the normal range and they’d never seen one of those before?
😂
But, good on you for all that improvement, now back to the stables wi ye, lassy.
For other Americans 12.5 stones is 175 pounds. Well done!! At 53, 16 months keto I've had amazing results in blood work and how I feel but not so much in losing weight. My wife is down 70 pounds (5 stones). As the cook in the family I'm amazed at the simplicity of it and lack of food waste.
Dr Paul Mason in a video said that saturated fat contains vitamin D. He said the leaner you are the higher the vitamin D goes. He also said that vitamin D acts as a sunscreen and that's why you don't burn as much if at all on carnivore ☺️
the good doctor said trigs go down. you say it went up/ who should we believe?
Couldn’t agree more doc. I’ve been a dedicated carnivore most of my life and at age 74 I have yet to get a sub par blood panel.
He's speaking the truth! I had triglycerides of 508, an ast of 63 and alt of 49 and an A1c of 5.9 back in September 2023. I wasn't even as strict as I should be on carnivore and had a lot of slip ups (occasionally pizza, or a dessert, etc) but 3 months later my triglycerides drop to 159, ast is 20, alt is 16 (so my liver enzymes are normal again) and my a1c is 5.7. So if I tighten up on the carnivore diet, my labs will be completely normal. I also lost 30lbs in the process. It works guys. I was scared and tried carnivore and it works! Ken is saving lives.
I believe you! I'm 7 weeks into carnivore and get this.....got my labs back 2 days ago. 2 months ago my triglycerides were 1,128 (I've been higher)! Damn high. I've never been under 500 in my entire life. 7 weeks of carnivore and my triglycerides are freaking 118! I shit you not. AMAZING results! Cholesterol was 328 and 2 days ago it came back at 110! More amazing results. I'm sitting here wondering if there was some mistake or they mixed my blood with someone elses. There was a Seinfeld episode about that, lol. Anyway, I've literally had sky high triglcyerides from my first test at age 30 (1,500!) through age 61...until 2 days ago. SHOCKING results if in fact they didn't screw up the test.
@@usaman7358 hey there..I went for my first dr visit (besides ER) in last 30 years, and 3 weeks ago my blood work came back. I am diabetic Type 2, my Triglycerides were 1235!!! I immediately went on ketovore and I am hoping to drop my Triiglyercides down to safe levels. Your comment gives me hope that it can be done
Good morning Dr. Berry. Thank you for all that you do for us. We love you and Neisha. ❤
i can confirm that after 6 months of carnivore diet i have lost weight(20kgr), healed anemia , increased my hdl , trig was low , my ldl increased a bit but who cares since hdl also increased , all my markers were perfect and my insuline resistance was dicreased
Cholesterol in general is irrelevant as a marker for metabolic health anyway
You Sir… are Da Man!! You have provided so much knowledge, detail, focus, encouragement and guidance over the last 16 months that it has allowed me and my partner to make changes - in our relationship with food - and in our lives, that we now know the path that we need to be taking to gain better health and reduce pain and suffering as we move forward. We are both in our 6th decade of life and we just want to thank you, sincerely, and from the heart!! God bless you and you family!!💙🙏
Bless you
Keto , carnivore, intermittent fasting got rid of my high blood pressure, reversed my fatty enlarged liver, reversed my pre-diabetes and significantly reduces the sinus infections. The Weight lost didn't happen till I added fasting and tons of aerobics.
A friend of the family has had kidney problems for years. She is tested every six months. Finally convinced her to try carnivore. She was not able to stick with it long term, but she was able to maintain a very strict low carb diet. On her most recent test her classification went from a four (bad) to a zero (pretty perfect). I don't know the full implications of these numbers, but I'm sure someone here does. Sadly, her doctor seemed to have no interest in how she pulled off such a change
Wow! 4 is bad. I am sure they were telling her it was not reversible and to prepare for a journey being on dialysis. For a doctor to NOT sit up and notice this and investigate further to help his other patients is a crime.
@@lindysmith5482all that doctor was thinking: “noooooo our insurance money!!!!!l”
Can't you get kidney stones on carnivore?
@@jamescokl3 If you have oxalate dumping it's possible. When you start the diet, you have to be carefull, drink lot's of water and electrolytes. Search on you tube for sally norton.
No. Actually oxalate crystals in veggies cause kidney stones. @jamescokl3
Been dieting my whole life. Have tried everything. Bodybuilding for 17 years. A student of healthy lifestyle and food medicine. Never have I ever done such an easy, fulfilling and simple diet! Highly recommend everyone to try carnivore! Never going back. Carnivore for life
When you realize how healthy carnivore really is, you can't help but also realize the nefarious agendas of those who seemingly care for humanity's health who demonize it.
It’s all about profit. The raising, feeding and slaughter of an animal is pretty expensive with less profit compared to the harvest and processing of crop and sugar. It’s all about the money and politics, our health is not the number one priority. Don’t forget that sick people are highly profitable. As long as we are healthy enough to be able to go to work, pay our taxes, pay our insurances, pay our mortgages and spend the rest on crap and processed food we are considered a model citizen.
@@nameofthegame9664 Sick people being profitable is, to me, the most important thing. It may not have started that way, but once they realized a population plagued by long-term health problems was profitable, we were doomed. What concerns me is that this problem is now being compounded by a growing notion that we're overpopulated and need to implement population control measures.
@@patriarchyenjoyer69 it seem like we’re heading into a pretty grim future. Look at kids today. Close to 10% suffers from non alcoholic fatty liver, this was unheard of just twenty years ago, almost 200.000 children under the age of 18 are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and if the trend continues, the diabetes rate will increase 700% by 2060. People might be sick today but that’s nothing compared to what is about to come. We are currently standing on the tip of the iceberg.
@@nameofthegame9664 And I assure you they'll sweep in with the big answer to it all - veganism.
@@patriarchyenjoyer69 indeed, veganism, supplementation and medication.
I lost 105lbs on carnivore and my levels all came down and leveled out. I love it
We've been keto for 16 months and more carnivore for 8 months. I've never liked liver but our local famer butcher included some in a bundle we purchased. My wife said she used to like liver but breaded and fried and since we've given up grains..... There exists a thing called carnivore flour, it's basically ground meat and salt and it's not cheap, but know that such a thing exists and so I was able to make it using egg batter and "flour" and she said it was divine. I got that buzz of nutrition my body needed and so I might make myself eat more but I still don't like liver.
Try it sauteed with bacon & onion.
@@barbaramorck2933 also - soak liver in milk for 30 mins then fry in butter , cook like a steak - sear on high temp each side then let rest for 20 mins ,then gently warm up for 2 mins either side .
Awesome 👍.
I make a chicken liver pate , before I was rather sparing with the butter , but now I use as much as I can , since chicken livers have a delicate flavour, I only use half an onion and no garlic , but thyme and a pinch of cumin seems to give the pate a robust flavour. It is delicious with cold cuts .
Though not carnivore soaking first in lemon juice also does the trick of making the liver taste milder.
A great product for crumbing is pork rinds. Works great on fish and tastes better imo than a grain coating
Pork King ground rinds are great or grind your own.
@Ariannnaishun
Crumbing with pork rinds sounds brilliant!
Be careful to find the ones without additives like unnecessary flavorings, and especially like MSG which give me an immediate migraine
Try making rumaki. Good eats
I’ve improved my lab work beyond belief. I’ve been eating so much meat, eggs, and organ meats and I’m slowly removing veggies. I couldn’t believe my total cholesterol went below 200.
Great video. Always excited to hear what the good doctor has to say. Thank you and Neisha for all you do. ❤
You also have to remember when you start carnivore the side effects to start out with can be quite severe if youve had a full life of eating crap! These effects include diarrhea, muscle cramps, stomach cramps, brain fog, anxeity, low mood and depression! However these effects all pass within a month and you will start to feel and look better than you ever have! I can promise you this 👍
Ive been carnivore almost a year now and im still healing myself from a life of drug alcohol and bad diet abuse but im getting better and better everyday and I now feel like superman without the kryptonite 💪
THANK YOU ,DR. BERRY FOR TAKING TIME AND TREMENDANCE EFFORT TO TEACH PEOPLE LIKE ME TO HEAL THEMSELVES. I still have to go a long way to live a healthy life without so many medications. I already quit several stupid meds that I was on, and I hope to eliminate some more. But my doctor is not at all helpful, always scaring me in quitting the meds I'm on. I'm not 100% carnivor yet, but maybe down the road I will.😊
Oxalate dumping effect
I had two very worrying bowel explosions early on, then back to once a day normal cycles. Just getting rid of the rubbish. It's a hard road and expensive, but worth it.
Yep agree, I wasnt too unhealthy to start with but still took 2 weeks for mood to change.. now feel alive.. at last.
My man. I am a laboratory scientist. My entire career is based on labs. You did a great job explaining the labs and the improvements you see. Good on ya!

Good to hear how accurate this video is!
If you just started would ALT & AST go up when its never been up before? Have RA. Dx at time of hospitalization with Feltys Sydrome 10 yrs ago. Since liver panel hasn't been high.
@angelaraum1545 You should be speaking to your primary care physician about your concerns. I am not going to give medical advice.
Sorry I gotta ask. I started keto in September. Found Dr Berry very quickly. Quickly committed to carnivore. Shoulder pain from long past bench press injury quickly disappeared. Guess it was inflammation instead of lingering injury. Getting out of my huyandia at 6’2” felt like squatting 225 lbs. Pop right up now with no pain. Much much more socially confident. Recalling memories is strangely enhanced. 25 lbs gone in only 2 months. I FEEL AWESOME. I’d rather eat this way and feel this damn good than ever go back. So the question: I love reading the many success testimonials as much as the videos as a reinforcement to my personal success to this point. So…does ANYONE have bad reactions or effects to this style of eating? Because I don’t think I’ve seen any negative comments, only triumphant stories. I genuinely feel sorry for every person who has not at least tried this lifestyle. Dr Berry-you are a hero. I just turned 59 and have just shed 25 lbs and 25 years of age. Thank you
I haven’t had a negative experience, just two separate week-longs attempts then failure. Ended up with a kidney stone this fall (NOT recommended!) and not sure if it was from the attempts at carnivore, or more likely caused by taking curcumin supplement for the last year. Either way, it makes me hesitant to try again. I’m fairly lean 5’11”, ~140lb, so I can’t afford to lose weight. Also concerned with how it might affect my cardio performance (I enjoy a lot of running, xc skiing, etc.). The reason I attempted cardio was for the last four years I’ve been plagued by asthma, chronic sinusitis,possible GERD / silent reflux, and general inflammation. I eat a fair amount of carbs, meat, and dairy, no vegetables. My wife cooks everything from scratch, including grinding grain. But I do eat a lot of carbs - bagel for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, pasta for supper, etc. Maybe I need to give it another go. I find it hard to stick to, cravings for bread or pasta were very strong.
@@warrenthiessen4682 so now I’m 3.5 months in, 35 lbs down, feel bettter than when I wrote this post. I am all in and totally believe this is the single most important thing you can do to fix any chronic issues you have had . I’ll bet it is not the reason for a kidney stone, and you should give it another try. I’m no doctor, just living proof. Good luck and God Bless.
@@karleewabo hey, I appreciate the reply. Will definitely give it another go, just going to prepare a little more ahead of time, in terms of having a variety of meats on hand, meal ideas ready to go, etc.
@@warrenthiessen4682 do what makes it easy to establish the habit. If it takes snacking on huge amounts of bacon and hot links, do that, anything that can get you a couple weeks totally off carbs and you will feel so good that you can’t imagine going back. Promise. I believe that you can do this.
I'm 49 and just found out I'm diabetic. Refused to go to doctors for a year (if a doc doesn't tell you, than nothing can be wrong) as my eyes got worse, terrible thirst, and lost 50 pounds (went from 255 to 202) for no reason. I have a 12.5 A1C and was hovering around 300 on my sugar. Not good. Started this diet immediately to include light exercise. These videos have been an eye opener and the comments a source of hope. I intend to be down to at least an A1C of 6 and normal sugar level by my 3 month check, and to also be able to get off these meds and live a better life. Thanks for providing these.
any update?
@@pouncerminned863 Sugar was down to 128 within two months, and now hovers between 102 and 120. A1C was at 7 after 3 months and I bet I will be in normal range at the end of the year. All the other numbers that were off the charts were in the normal range at my 3 month check in. I started to gain good weight back, but have slipped some on exercise but thats correctable. I am still taking metformin, but hopefully I can stop that by the end of the year. Bottom line it is working for me.
Excellent as always. Been on carnivore since April 2023. Have notice all off those lab results. Also have lost 60 pounds…Thankyou for your continued motivation. Sincerely, Doug
Great video that I will definitely share with stubborn people!
Thank you Dr Berry for all you do!
Fantastic vid Doc. Been researching this for a while now. Started carnivore 9 days ago. Been documenting everything. My pcp doesn’t know I started. He said I should find other work since I have some serious back, knee issues and a ton of inflammation. My next physical is in June. Thanks to you and a few other here I am committed to carnivore until then to see what my labs are. Cheers doc.
Today is my Birthday! Woohoo! Now 63 year old male. Since 1 July I have lost 33lbs and am under 200lbs for the first time since about 1990. Carnivore 90% and eat plenty of red meat, Salmon, sardines, burgers. A couple Avocado's a week and some sauerkraut. No other fruits or vegetables. A slice of cheese on my grilled burger patties. Small glass of Kefir in the morning. Some spices such as various salts, and spices for the grilled meats.
Donating a huge pile of clothing to the Salvation Army! My blood work will be done in January. It will be interesting to see. Will continue until I hit 175lbs.
8:42 My Thyroid levels have DRASTICALLY improved since going Carnivore! 🎉❤
Unfortunately my 6 months labs are much worse but I feel good and lost 25 pounds. I plan to keep going.
I am a 46 year old male and my testosterone went up over 400 points
Dr. Ken Berry, your insight into the carnivore diet's impact on lab work is invaluable. Your expertise and clear explanations make complex medical concepts accessible. Incorporating your knowledge into a personal tailored keto plan played a crucial role in my weight loss journey, helping me shed 50 pounds. Thank you for sharing knowledge that empowers us to prioritize health!
edit: For those interested in a personalized keto plan, feel free to explore more details on my profile.
I have been doing this for almost 40 days now. My body seems to be changing and good things are happening! Hair, nails, mental focus (level enegy), less crashes, and feeling good so far...
In August my A1C was 7.1. November it is now 5.4! Huzzah! No longer diabetic. C-peptide and fasting Insulin are all normal. Mostly carnivore with some keto days. IT REALLY WORKS!
After following this diet for almost a year, all my labs went in the right direction as Dr Berry mentioned
my doctor freaked out when he saw the LDL shot t up to 300 and fasting insulin plummeted to 2.5. The only thing I could not explain my A1c went up to 5.8 after quitting carbohydrates and following ketogenic diet
Get your Glycated Albumin checked
Thank you, I will
hypothetically, cells last longer on carnivore therefore a slightly higher A1C seems logical. My wife's went from 4.9 to 5.2 on carnivore; she's now 5 yrs in, 65 yrs old and healthier than when younger.
Almost a year on carnivore/ketovore and my a1c has gone from 5.6 before to 5.7 three months ago and now to 5.8. LDL is under 200 and other numbers I have look great. The only other anomaly is a slightly elevated albumin of 5.2. I thought the 5.7 reading might have been because I was using quite a bit of xylitol based chewing gum, so I switched to mastic gum, but it didn't come down. Recent fasting glucose was 98. I did have a heavy meal about 12 hours before testing.
Thanks Dr. Berry!
Been following your channel for awhile and appreciate the advice; It works! I'm no longer diabetic according to my doctor and lab work.
Also noted that you look very healthy; clear eyes, healthy skin. Obvious that you live what you teach.
You're looking great, my man. Thank you for saving so many lives, including my own.
Keep seeing people on carnivore Facebook groups saying they are going for labs after 4/6/8 weeks on carnivore.we keep screaming at them to not do it yet but they don't listen and then they are moaning about the results
❤️🥩❤️🥓❤️🥩❤️
Thank you for giving my life back.
I've been on a dirty carnivore diet now since 7/22/2023... here is what has trasnpired to me... I went from 335 to 283. Chronic heartburn... gone by day 2. psoriasis on my scalp gone in the third week. Gout in my big toe gone at 45 days, GERD gone. Energy is way up. I sleep through the night only getting up only once not to relieve myself instead of every hour when I had carbs. This has been a great experiment on myself and these are the results. I am not going back to the 'standard American Diet'.
Hey doc, I just wanted to say thank you for the all the videos. I have been on the carnivore diet along with omad for about 9 months and I have dropped 155 lbs in that time and have been watching your videos the entire time. They have been a tremendous help on my journey.
Been carnivore for over a year now. A1C went from 6.3 to 5.2.
I will never eat the bug, Dr. Barry. Same people that are advocating for us, eating the bugs are the same people trying to take our meat away.
there are very negative consequences to eating insects, so yeah you're right.
I am a recent convert to the carnivore diet. 10 weeks. Its been great. Cheaper than my food bills before. I have been vegan for 5 yrs, and vegetarian several years prior. I didn't intend on becoming that, just happened while I was trying to detox. Your videos are so educational. Thank you.
My question is my son is raising his children vegan and I am worried. His oldest son is 2. He does do a great job making sure he gets his requirements etc... but we know that its going to end badly. Can you link some studies for me that will help him make a better informed decision on what to feed his children. He always sites studies and I believe it is the only way to change his mind. Thank you so much for all your help.
Send him this video 😂
Good stuff! I wish I had done my blood test before starting keto and then carnivore, would love to have seen the difference but I've always felt if you feel great you are probably doing okay on your blood work!
My ldl is 277. My cardiologist appointment is tomorrow. I’m listening to Dave Feldman about LMHR.
Watch Dave Diamond too
I have been on it for a little over a week. I felt more energetic! So, I took a quicker walk than I normally do, and hurt my knee. Important to remember that even though i feel better, my body is still carrying an extra 200# 😂 but not 215#!!! Dr & other carnivores, I feel so hopeful that I can feel, look, and be healthy--- finally! Best wishes to you all 🙏
Thank you for setting me on the right path, Dr. Berry. This past year has been one of the best in my life. I still have a ways to go, but the progress has been astounding. Thank you for everything. :)
I started carnivore recently. Not because I have any illness or diagnosis, but mainly to lose weight and to increase my energy. I have been tired and sluggish, easily irritated and unfocused for a long time, and I feel like crap. I have a six year old daughter and I just can't keep being this kind of dad to her. So I'm prioritizing my health mainly for my daughters sake. I don't expect to keep with the carnivore diet forever, but as long as I feel good and can afford it, I'm determined to keep going.
hows that going?
The strangest thing for me, on a carnivore diet, is it’s made me a nicer person. A lot more calmer, I’m never hungry. The change is amazing
Haha😅. No longer Hangry!
"I've got a touch of diabetes but I manage it well." But it isn't a little pill with a "big story to tell." My a1c is down from 10.5 to 5.3 in only six months of eating *THE PROPER HUMAN FOOD*. I hesitate to call it a diet because on the negative stigma of starving yourself in order to diet. There have been times when I ate two large ribeye steaks, gorged myself until I couldn't eat another bite and was surprised to see I felt no urge to eat the following day. Eating fatty meat has stopped my hunger pangs and not once do I feel nausea or even the urge to eat every couple of hours like I did when I ate the standard American slop diet. I'm sorry to say I haven't lost 100 pounds ..... yet. I've only lost 96 pounds but I feel confident the last 4 pounds will be gone in time for Christmas. I can hardly wait to show off my new figure to loved ones. I've eaten all the recommended slop for years, whole grains, low fat, non-fat, etc and I've been fat and unhealthy most of my adult life. So I don't have type 2 diabetes anymore, so I don't "manage" my diabetes, I kicked diabetes ass!
The world is changing because the message of ketosis is getting out. Thank you for your efforts in educating.
I had to start getting my own labs through Let’s Get Checked and Everlywell because my Dr. wouldn’t do all of these lads.
Just had a physical after being on ketovore since 9/2023... My Dr. is beside himself. My cholesterol panel is Total 307
HDL 58
LDL 211
A1C went from 5.8 to 4.9
I will check out the video you mentioned on LMHR.
THANKS!
🦋Lily🦋
Just got my labs back. Been carnivore for 7 or 8 month's now. My total cholesterol went from 229 to 178. My HDL went from 40 to 64, my LDL went from 166 to 99 and my cholesterol/HDL ratio went from 5.7 to 2.8. My triglycerides went from 113 to 76. My labs have not been this good since my 20's.
Hashimoto goes carnivore. Antibodies from 497 to 17. 💥 T3 & T4 still low however feeling great and dropped NP with blessing of thyroid doctor due to progress on carnivore lifestyle.
Excellent
Of particular note after 3 years on the diet. My CRP which was always 60-80s is basically undetectable.
What this diet has done for me is this. I've dropped 25 pounds in 3 months. For the first time in 25 years my LDL is to low at 21!! and I've now quit taking statins. My A1C has dropped from 8.6 to 5.8. I also no longer have fatty liver disease. Since I don't have a gall bladder I'm taking ox bile to help me digest the fats plus I've added broccoli and some salads as it seems to help my system handle the fats. I'm also doing the intermittent fasting by eating a last meal or food at around 8 in the evening and not eating again till about noon the next day several days a week. I'll usually just have water in the morning now. It actually is fairly easy to do on a meat diet. These results just came from my annual physical and my doctor is amazed. He asked several times about my diet. He wants to see me again in 4 months and I should be another 20 - 25 pounds lighter which is my weight goal.
I took notes from this video. I do labs in about 2 and 1/2 weeks, and now I know what to ask for. Thanks. btw...I'm new to conovore by about 30 days, and liking it.
Just had my blood tests results, everything great but LDL is high. My Doc panicked, she wants to put me on my meds. I said no thanks, she told me it would be documented that I refused her advice. Even though I don't have blood pressure issues, no pre or diabetes. Liver is great also kidneys. I was dehydrated so must keep hydrated. I'm carivore/high fat, was keto for several years. I'm partially mobility challenged, spinal fusion. I'm going to see another younger Doc and hope she isn't as old school as my regular doctor. I fast at least 19 to 21 hours every day. Cheers Rosemary Western Australia 73yrs
Interesting I had high Ldl when going low carb, I think lot of people do. Its one of the markers for heart disease and there are studies its good and bad if you are in low carb diet. Im trying to increase carbs now for next year blood work to find a sweet spot. Mostly addition of oats and rice plus veggies and not processed carbs. Also cutting down red meat. Will see...
My doctor is thrilled with my blood work. I am a keto guy but do total carb 20 or less
my LDL shot up to 268 on mostly Ketovore diet. Haven't even had the slightest of colds or sickness in over 2 yrs. High LDL in the setting of a PHD is a good thing.
Congrats!!! Hopefully the medical community will catch up to the updated science of LDL being important to immune function and it actually is the vessical that carried Vitamin D where it needs to go to boost our immune system!
Thank you for your time and life energy!
First time POSITIVE Ketosis for my blood labs after only 2 months of Ketovore-following 3 weeks water fast- and now mostly carnivore. Reversed fatty liver as well. Thanks for cranking out these critical info shorts. Answered my specific question on positive ketosis right away! Thanks for being the Warrior General in helping establish these amazing Keto and Carnivore lifestyles for everyone!
So thankful and so refreshing to have a doctor I can wholeheartedly trust!! Dr Ken Berry has been my go-to for almost a year now!! I totally trust his advice!!
My doctor went nuts seeing my cholesterol. She said she has never seen so high of LDL
300 triglycerides are 54. She does not know that I eat carnivore, but all my other blood work D vit blood sugar etc are fantastic.
My panel this past summer, HDL 89, Tri 59, LDL 160. My doc thought is was great (Tri/HDL < 1, no mention of LDL), no meds prescribed (I wouldn't have taken them, but he doesn't know that!). I think I am lucky with my doc. I do believe the majority of GP would prescribe a statin for me. I will say, my doc seems to be about 30yo, perhaps the new generation is a bit more open minded about current trends in nutrition. I am curious about my next visit, I have been low carb for years, but this past 6 months, I have switched to 95% meat for my calories. I switched mainly because it is so simple to just cook meat and fish and not struggle to find an acceptable side dish. Best of luck with your treatment, I personally wouldn't change what you are doing.
Quality content as usual, thank you Dr Berry
I am old enough to remember when the carnivore diet was called Adkins. I am back on this diet after being off for about 7 years. So far I lost 40 pounds and feel much better. My labs were great when I was on this diet for about 7 years. My values were all great which surprised my physician since he expected a high-protein diet to be a problem for some organs. Surprise, it wasn't.
The M.D with compassion, mercy,integrity and honour. Such a joy to read all the testimonies. Best wishes to all.
So excited! Have lost 21 pounds in 3 months. My receding gums are growing back in the right direction. First time ever losing this much weight.
I have been on and off ( I try all diets for more of an expirement, I do not need to loose weight) carnivore for 2 years, but I have to wonder if for the majority of people, being in a calorie deficit is the most important thing. For me, the reason why I like carnivore, is that it prevents me from overeating and having a calorie surplus which with processed carbs, I do by overeating. I do not think plants or whole foods are bad. Let's be honest, No one that needs to lose 100 pounds got there from eating too many fruits and vegetables. With that being said, keep up the good work and content. I am a fan of whatever makes people feel great and healthy!
You have to remember that it’s not always about losing weight. You can be skinny and be diabetic. You can be skinny and have heart disease, Alzheimer’s, hardening of the arteries etc. I gained 60lbs eating Whole Foods. Grown and picked out of my garden. It took me 40 years to gain it but I did gain it. I tried being in calorie deficit but you just end up hungry. With keto or carnivore hunger is never an issue.
I fully agree with you. Many benefits besides dropping weight. For me, I like it not only for not overeating but it helps with inflammation. If I eat sweet potatoes, I am fine but once I eat one carb, the flood gates open due to my own lack of discipline/ control. Really, processed foods that are designed to overeat are for most, the problem. At least they are for me. I can eat a whole bag of chips but eating 3 to four potatoes would be a challenge! Anyhow, keep up the good fight people. Stay healthy, stay moving!
My TSH has gone from 4.97 to 1.71...first time normal in several years! 😊❤
How long did that take?
@@Profc317
I have bloodwork done only once a year in mid Feb.....Carnivore since Sept, but 4 years keto. Hope this helps 🤗❤
Eating a hybrid keto/paleo/carnivore diet (I just kind of alternate based on how I feel) my ultimate rule has been simple whole foods only- zero grain/sugar and zero processed food (keto tortillas/bars/pretzels/no flour like almond flour). I just eat meat, fish, egg, cheese and sometimes veg and sweet potato or squash if I do want carbs (usually when Im running alot, I just feel like it sometimes). Following this my weight dropped from 190lbs to 150lbs and has stayed there +/- .2lbs every single morning for months. Some days I skip meals/fast if I am not hungry and other days I shovel food in all day long. Zero tracking or calorie counting, i just eat what I want when I feel like it but weight is totally locked in within half a lb. The crazy thing is ive gradually gone down 4 notches on a 32 waist belt despite my weight staying the same, so I know my body is recompositioning itself, replacing fat with muscle. As a grain/sugar burner I always thought getting shredded meant having to follow crazy cycles of bulking and cutting, but without the grain messing up insulin/leptin/grhelin function it just seems to come naturally. I do carnivore for stints of time but also love a lot of veggies roasted with butter and sea salt or grassfed beef sauteed with onions and ginger. The grains seemed to be what caused my fatness/arthritis and health issues so I am happy with my eclectic hybrid keto/paleo/carnivore diet.
Dr Berry I hope you feel good for giving us all the hope ,because you deserve sainthood.
Dr. Berry, in Scotland, there's a particular restriction on meat consumption, where customers purchasing meat are monitored, same in Germany and extends to top universities advocating for it across Europe. The movement has intensified, citing it as a contributing factor to climate change.
Do these people buying meat get sent to prison if they eat too much meat?
I'm Scottish and I've never heard of this. Is it possible to give me any information on it please? How can they monitor people buying butcher meat?
@@margaretblack8538 Those supermarkets have cameras everywhere! The Police are waiting to arrest those people buying meat!
In fact should you be able to see or answer my comment is it possible to add it to an edited reply to your own, or just add another comment. I'm pretty sure I've been sh☆ d☆ ba☆n☆d. So you won't see this and I won't see your repl☆.
You got any more info on this, BlueBoardAnalysis, I've never heard of this before and would love to know more.
At 5’9 and 140lbs I must be that 1%. HDL is at 368 from 101. Otherwise I feel fantastic on carn. Psoriasis completely cleared.
In February of this year my total cholesterol was 150, triglycerides 116, HDL 41, and LDL 88. After doing carnivore for over 6 months I had it tested again in September of this year. From that test Total cholesterol was 257, triglycerides 87, HDL 43, LDL 199.
Dr Berry, after watching many of your videos on here i am going to start this carnivore diet. After listening to what you have to say on many health issues and this diet, my dr don't have a clue. I am 50 and I have several of the health issues you speak about my self, after listening to you and watching your videos , i think this diet is for me
No BS I’ve been following this channel since the beginning and he is looking younger with better skin.
Me too!
Been on Ketovore w intermittent fasting for almost 4 months. Didn't really have any major health issues (that I am aware of) that had a miracle turn around like some others.
However, I did lose about 30 pounds in the first 3 months. Now at my lowest weight since my sophomore year of college (15 years ago). Sleeping better, feeling less tired throughout the day, improved mood... those are all related, surely. Overall I feel really good apart from a lingering back issue that is likely posture related.. no cure there from this diet. Not that I expected it to!
I'm not a diet person. I love meat, and I have never been a big breakfast person. I love candy and ice cream and carbs. It's been a pretty easy diet to stick to and I don't plan to go back to a high carb diet. Minimal cravings and not often hungry. One meal a day once or twice a week and it's no big deal.
The downside is I had to buy a whole new wardrobe. Went from a 2XL shirt to a L, size 38 waist to a 34... still need a belt.
I'm proud to say, that I've been on the Carnivore diet for 7 weeks, and not only did I lose 17 lbs, but I just did my blood work, and the results are amazing.
I've been pre-diabetic for over 16 years, and now, for the very first time in a long time, I'm no longer pre-diabetic. My cholesterol levels is amazing too and I can’t believe all of this….
In june glucose was 90, hba1c 5,3% normal classic diet, sport few times a week.
3 month ago started lion diet strict. Eating 2 pounds of red meat, eggs, little dairy. A lot of sports a gym.
My result was : glucose 83
Hba1c 7,4%
Insuline 3.1mU/L
I what the hell is my body doing ? Am i diabetic now ?
I’m 5.10 67 kilos
I was the cholesterol highly elevated group and it went up quite a bit (if I remember right it was 200 higher than last year). My DOC ignored everything I was asking about and just focused on my numbers and prescribed me a statin (that's still sitting at medical), I actually hate this DOC, but being in the military medical system, I am stuck for the time being.
Been on it 3 months stopped drinking alcohol. mostly strict apart from a little cheat now and then exercising 4 times a week down 14 KG
Dr. Berry - thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Carnivore is the way to go. I am so satisfied with my diet/eating. I love it! It's been one year since I found you. It's also the first time I ever followed through on my New Year's Eve resolution. Within the last year I have lost 40 pounds, my arthritis is gone, my pain is gone, my A1C went from 6.7 to 4.9, and my thyroid has improved. I FEEL AMAZING AT SOON TO BE 59!! My LDL 659/HDL 89.9/TRI 144 = Total is 778!! LOL. Of course, my doc wanted to put me on Statin and I said ok but lets do a CAC test first (thanks to your advice). My CAC score was ZERO! I love it!! My doctor said "Even though your CAC score is good, your cholesterol level is quite high, your body seems to be doing a good job of managing it". I ordered your Lab book so I can learn more and stump the docs again. Happy New Year!
I am only 8 days in and my inflammation has gone down so much that I no longer have heartburn, and my asthma symptoms are nearly gone. Keto flu only lasted one day. Feel better than I have since being a freshman in college.
@KenDBerry I’m seeing a new pcp Tuesday and I would love to know what blood tests I should ask her to do please 🙏🏼. One more thing, my 27 year old was just diagnosed with an enlarged prostate. He has no symptoms at all. No urine frequency or waking up to urinate either. Would carnivore help reduce his prostate?
carnivore, 10 weeks 10 kg, 1kg per week average is insane, long time viewer finally made the jump, thank you
At the end of August, I learned through some labs that I had an A1C of 13.5, diabetes with fasting blood glucose of 320, fatty liver, metabolic disease, etc., just from over a decade of being sedentary and eating sweets.
I went strict keto, or what might be 'ketovore'. I didn't try to simulate carby foods. I just ate meat, lots of fat, some nuts, and cruciferous veggies and spinach (for the liver). Was in ketosis for all of that time other than when I was on a trip for a week in November.
Now, just over 3 months later, my A1C is down to 7, the fatty liver indicators are normal, triglycerides are in the green, and blood glucose is regularly 120ish. And that was just keto basically. Little exercise, and I've been way stricter in the past with keto and fasting. Lazy keto. Still grazing at night on jerky and almond butter and stuff.
Amazing what ketosis can do to reverse damage.
Went on keto when my A1C went up to 5.8. In six weeks lost 20 pounds and A1C went down to 4.3. My cholesterol levels went down too. Only problem was no change to blood pressure. Stayed at 140 without meds. Wondering if it because I have RA and Trigeminal Neuralgia? Still doctor was surprised and happy with results since I had turned down taking Lipitor
Ditching carbs and sugar is truly the fountain of youth and energetic good health…it’s not hype this fixes your metabolism…period.
