I have been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney failure. I’m convinced that a low carb diet will be the way to lower my blood pressure to safe levels for my kidneys. Problem is, my nephrologist and everyone around me claim I have to avoid protein for the sake of my kidneys. I don’t think they understand how powerful a carb addiction can be. So far I’ve been secretly eating a fat rich carnivore diet for three days and for the first time In months my blood pressure has reached safe levels. Am I messing up here?
Look up Dr. Jason Fung. He is a nephrologist who recommends low carbohydrate diets and fasting. He started his program years ago, because most of his patients had T2 diabetes, which was destroying their kidneys.
At stage 3 you don't have to worry about protien. Restricting certain nutrients only becomes necessary in late stage 4 or stage 5, if your GFR drops below 15%. Stick with low carb and avoid processed foods.
You could also fast (to refrain occasionally from meat) for a couple of days, now and then and listen to what Jason Fung has to say, he's a nephrologist.
We always love to watch your videos, Dr. Westman. You, Dr. Hampton and many others have been changing so many lives for the better! I watched Amy's webinar. It was very informative and I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
Saw a new Endocrinologist yesterday. She told me eating meat is causing me inflammation and is very unhealthy for me. Said it's backed up by science. Also tried to push a high vegetable diet and plant protein. Wouldn't listen to me when I said I've lost 30 lbs, returning to my highschool weight, sleeping better, and having no more joint pain. I said, that's where we disagree. Seed oils, carbs and sugar caused my problems and she needs to catch up on her information. I fired her. I'll get an inflammatory marker test, but not from her. The struggle for me is locating a keto/carnivore friendly Dr.
This was a nice review of some of the most common concerns I've heard when I talk about my diet. As much as I'd like to add back in some vegetables, I do better with meat only. Even spices leave me inflamed after a day or two. And thank you for calling out pharmacists. While it's hard to buck the training, I'd love to see more of my colleagues in the low-carb space.
About the “keto diet energy deprived” I can attest I am in carnivorous mode for more than a year and I don’t do breakfast anymore and I feel very energized throughout the day. I can do heavy fisical work for hours and then have my only meal of the day at 4pm
Another excellent video, Dr W. Thank you for all you do to help educate about the importance of diet in relation to health, good blood sugar levels and weight management
I was taking invokana and tried keto. Yup, went into DKA. Doc wasn’t happy. I later started carnivore and stopped taking Jardiance abkut two weeks prior. Carnivore cgoing on about 3 months now. doc knows and told me to not expect big changes for about 3 to 6 months, but she gave me her blessing.
Sorry to hear about your experience. Jardiance, Invokana, and other SGLT2 inhibitors can have a nasty adverse effect of DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis), AND Fournier's Gangrene (look it up---not pretty!). I had never seen DKA using nutritional ketosis until these medications came out! They can cause DKA even when you are eating carbs! Rest assured that keto/carnivore does the same thing (and more!) as these medications.-Dr W
This just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called Health and Beauty Mastery by Julian Bannett. It has been censored.
Thanks so much for having Dr Tony Hampton on to explain this. He is so clear and easy to understand. Thanks for explaining the ONE exception to causing problems instead of healthy nutritional ketosis - by taking medications like Jardiance which can cause euglycemic diabetic keto acidosis - using the drugs that are SGLT2 (sodium-glucose co-transporter 2) inhibitors for diabetes, kidney or heart problems. Will be asking friends with these diseases if taking any of those before I recommend Carnivore or Keto. I am 78 and have been carnivore now 18 months and have had great results - no more arthritis pain, hand tremors, need for heart medications, etc.
Carnivore is how I recovered from a calorie restricted plant based (low fat, vegan) diet. I lost 30 lbs and almost lost all my skin, muscle, and mental health. The transition was difficult, no doubt- 'bout like a heroin addict going through withdrawals. Body pain, diarrhea, fatigue, not to mention oxalate dumping. After about 2 months, my skin wasn't tearing, my strength was returning, and my anxiety was gone. Now at 6 months and I am never going back. My lipid profile was disrupted on a plant based diet with Triglycerides- looking forward to labs at my annual in January.
68 year old obese male, day 180 has past I have achieved all my monthly goals, cumulative 22 kg (48.5 lbs) down. Slowed down in loss as expected but still going in the right direction. Bloods tested last week and all good, B/P 80/112, only down side constipation, must be managed cheers
Are you on carnivore? It may help to know that your digestion will slow down (or return to normal function depending on your viewpoint) on carnivore. Your body is able to use what you put in your mouth so there is no rush to waste it down the toilet. It should theoretically be possible to never have to go to the toilet but going more often than never is fine😊. Compare this to a carb based meal that might hold fibre and other material that cannot be used. Your body will work so hard to get rid of it . The old way of thinking is that you have regular healthy bowl movements, but if the food you eat goes through your system in about 12 hours only to get flushed down the toilet, should it go into your mouth in the first place?
I had lost just about 100 lbs and reversed my T2D (as well as helping some other health issues) in about 15 months mostly with fasting and eventually cleaning up my diet to go pretty low carb (more than keto but mostly
So you are eating over 4000 calories and still losing weight? When I go over 2100 cal/day I gain immediately. I'm strict carnivore for almost two years. I can easily overeat protein and fat. I do resistance training and cardio 3 times per week minimum.
@EEEBA1 I do a lot of alternate day fasting so don't eat 4k+ everyday. But do 4 times a week generally. Over the last 8 week of tracking I've averaged just under 2,300 a day, with generally 3 days a week with zero. I've lost just over 19lbs during that time. But as I said that after a year of maintaining a 85+ weight loss over the 15 months before that (which was 15lbs below my original goal weight) so it isn't like when I started coming off a SAD like diet and was dropping weight fast. This time I had already lost a ton of weight and had a healthier diet than like 95% of people already.
Tony Hampton sounds quite educated for a doctor - a rare phenomenon. I didn't hear the lie that my new M.D. told me - that the carnivore diet was the most inflammatory diet I could possibly eat. She advised I switch to the Mediterranean diet. lol... M.D.s - not very bright.
Just had bloodwork done after 2 years of keto. Sky high ldl as I expected. Triglycerides were normal. Not sure what doctor will say. Also I was treated for prostate cancer 3 years ago and monitor my psa count. With keto my psa level has gone Down! Very pleased. I do fast daily after 2pm. I'm 76 year senior. My new doctor explained to me how saturated fat like bacon and fatty meat is bad. To me the only question is the ldl....we shall see.
We had a power cut yesterday, so I skipped breakfast. Today, I decided to skip breakfast again. No hunger pangs, just a slight hollow feeling in my stomach. I love the way LCHF makes me feel, and my sleep quality is so much better.
I love the simplicity of the keto lifestyle! I don't do the keto bread, muffins etc that's on YT. Keeping it simply beef, eggs, some veggies, fish, PB, tea & electrolytes. Oh and bacon 😊
I started keto due to rising blood glucose levels and 2 months in I've had decent success. Initially I was using net carbs but it seems like more and more of the sugar substitutes are at least being partially digested and raising blood sugars so I moved to total carb counting. I'm considering carnivore to make my life simpler. I wish there were a "network" of sorts to find keto friendly doctors but here in the south I've yet to find a doctor that will even acknowledge food affects your health, they just want to prescribe meds and confirm to patients to eat anything they want because variety is good.
My life has improved exponentially since I've gone carnivore! Anyone who reaches a decent age is pretty in tune with their body. And my body feels fabulous! Brain fog is gone, psoriasis is gone, asthma is gone, allergies are gone, joint pain is gone, stiffness is gone, I can run up and down the stairs instead of walking like I'm 90 my bad knee hasn't bothered me in 2 years now! I don't need to be a rocket scientist to know this is doing good things for me oh yeah and the best side effect of all I am at high School weigt and cut!
Thank you Dr. Westman ! You make the keto diet so easy to follow. I sometimes have followed to many people and got so confused as to what should I be eating. I finally pulled out page 4 and started to follow that again and my life has gotten so much easier.
I get shredded every summer. Always have high energy, sex drive high and skin and hair amazing condition. my mother got renal cancer after 3rd jab . I convinced her to do keto , after scans it’s shrank tumours faster than they grew . So amazing how millions and millions of people fixing health issues that carbs caused .
One of the most difficult things to overcome is having a wife who continually repeats those same lies including putting "temptations" of old go to foods on the home menu!
Gee I am so sorry. The only way she may change is to see how healthy you become. Maybe you could choose to fix your own meals with simple things such as meats and cheeses. Eggs are very easy and good carnivore.
@@bettyweller1487 I do mostly do my own cooking now but that often means we don't eat together. She loves Icecream and Sweets, as did I and she eats it in front of me, not caring about the struggles that her practices have on my resolve. I don't think she is trying to be mean or nasty. I honestly think she believes she is right and we are all wrong. That's life.
My husband and mother the same way. Husband down to 250 lbs since he started ozempic. Crazy how he knows more than me when I'm at near normal weight. Mother is 85. There is no way that one is ever going to stop making things from sugar and crisco and bleached white flour. Doesn't seem to affect her though. Angry because I won't eat that stuff anymore.
@@normanappleton3627 I've seen this for decades for anyone eating a way different from others. For example, plant-based or vegans who bemoan others eating meat in front of them and having no respect for their way of eating. You don't seem to be blaming her, which is good, because it's your problem, not hers. Not being able to eat together stinks. I'm lucky in that I can fix anything for my kids and not be tempted. But I'm not incorruptible a few under other circumstances. There are ways to alter your behavior while around sweets/carbs. Next time you want ice cream or sweets, get a bottle of liquid stevia and squirt a big dose onto you tongue;swish it around. Overload your system with so much sweetness that it disgusts you. It has worked for me. There are other techniques to overcome habits and cravings, but I won't bore you. I just wouldn't blame anyone else for them.
Thank you Doctors, for this very informative and very helpful post. N=1. Be patient, be careful, be curious, be honest. Your body is telling you all that you need to know, all the time. Just listen. ☮️🙏❤️
Should we "fear" saturated fats in (for example) Ribeye Steaks etc when it is often produced by "finishing" steers, pre-slaughter, in a grain supplemented feedlot system? eg with Maize, Alfalfa etc.?
I am going to start the carnivore diet just to see if my fibroids disappear and save my uterus.but my weight is 52kg so i am not obese but i use to eat a lot of sweet things and a lot of fruits .i hope this diet works for this condition.
“Unless you have pre-existing kidney disease, keto doesn’t hurt your kidneys.” What about those of us that do have CKD (Covid induced damage which has resulted in one kidney atrophying)? Is it still safe to eat this way? I’ve been advised to reduce my protein intake.
Dr Westman, My health issues make it difficult to keep weight on. Gluten, lactose, and SIBO on top of autoimmune and adrenal disfunction. What can I do to gain weight?
I'm not sure what you can do but my husband tried to eat the paul saladino diet but he was blending fruit and drinking it like that he gained 12 pounds in a week 😂 😂 he quit eating fruit very quickly after that.
@@TheModestKetoCouple I would love to put on 12 lbs...lol... But carbs hurt me... It's going to take longer than the 6 months I've been on carnivore to heal my body. Merry Christmas to you and your hubby.
1. Eat more calorie-dense keto foods like fatty cuts of meat, eggs, butter, and heavy cream. 2. Add healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and coconut oil to meals. 3. Snack on high-fat, low-carb options like macadamia nuts or fat bombs. 4. Include keto shakes with added MCT oil or cream. 5. Increase meal frequency if needed, even on keto.
@@DrTonyHampton Thanks! I also needed that info. Question though...I keep hearing "Keto" in the same sentence as not eating vegetables. When I think of 'keto', I think of salads and almond flour (I'm simplifying). So are you still in the camp of NOT eating vegetables?
I wish my doctor would watch this! AND my brother and SIL. Thanks for this great reinforcement of what I’ve been aware of for approximately 5 years now. I didn’t know about the SGLP injections with already following the keto lifestyle. Based on that info, I’ve decided not to restart the injections. I don’t need keto acidosis! Have a great Christmas.
I started with carnivore but couldn't give up my veg. Being keto has been amazing! There are things I occasionally wish I could have but I've worked hard to get where I am and there are so many delicious things I still CAN have, that I'm able to not cheat and stay satisfied!❤
Dr. Hampton is absolutely right about Lie #10; I used to eat 3 large meals a day and snack on 2-3 pounds of high carb/calorie foods every day. I justified that by drinking 6-8 diet sodas (20oz.) per day and still went to bed hungry. I now eat approximately 1lb. of beef with usually 4 eggs and a half pound of cheddar cheese once a day. I do splurge and drink 32- 64 ounces of BULLETPROOF COFFEE every day and usually up to 64 ounces of water per day. I no longer have cravings that I can’t ignore.
Ty Dr Westman for all your hard work bringing this info to us. You set my whole family of 6 on a healthier track over the last 8 years👍👍. Thanks for Dr Hampton’s video. I did not know him. I have gone from keto to low carb to carnivore with different success. All the data and research is in for me - let food be thy medicine 👍👍🦖🦖🦖🦖
Struggle for so many years to do what they told me and all it did was harm me! Eating the way I was told all I did was gain gain gain, and feel worse, worse,worse, my skin suffered terribly. Psoriasis and cystic acne. But not anymore!
I was diagnosed stage 1 CKD in early 2020. I went carnivore and reversed my CKD so that my kidney function is now perfect. Don't fear keto or carnivore. These diets heal not hinder your health.
Im a 37 years old dude living alone for sone reason and 2 years ago i broke my arm by falling out of my truck trailer and for 4 weeks i eat only eggs,bacon and cheese becouse it was the easiest way to cook and eat.I was eating 6 eggs a day one meal a day and look at me i didn't die.
Hello Dr. Westman. I consume only beef, eggs, butter, homemade probiotic plain yogurt, salt, water, and black coffee. I My weight loss has stalled at 216 lbs for 4 days now. Any idea why that would be? Also, I do supplement with iodine and D3 oil. Is it necessary for me to do so? Thank you for what you do!

Go to Wikipedia and search for the longest living countrys. After that look for the Countrys eating the most meat. The ones you don't find in the meat statistics are the ones eating more fish (for example Japan which was long in the top 3 of fish eaters but had a recent shift) or dairy products. Hope this helps.

My IBD doctor told me you'll get scurvy if you dont eat fruit or veggies.... that was in a meeting after my blood test came back amazing after 1.5 years of carnivore. She asked me if i was supplementing they were that good! 😂😂😂
I wish people weren't so easily sold on the easy way out. I know somebody diabetic and it's easier for her to take Wegovy than it is to watch what she eats. When friends go out with her they are amazed at the types of food she orders being diabetic. Those friends are not diabetic and eat better than she does😢
I have increased my protein and fat intake for the second time in a year. Both times i have been having trouble with vertigo, which never happened when i ate more carbs. I haven’t eaten processed foods for a long time, but when i did it was minimal. The vertigo is quite intense because literally the room spins around me and knocks out my balance. Is this a symptom of reducing carbs. Should i continue on and the dizziness will go away?
Get your eyes and ears tested, it's not the diet! Eyes... It could be early symptoms of detached retina. Ears....it. Could be wax displacement, wax build up etc.
I started with Keto and after much health improvement and weight loss, I moved to HighFat/LowCarb because it was more forgiving than Keto and I could have some more carbs without any negative effects. By reducing carbs and sugars, my 30 year gout attacks went away and have stayed away. I'm a believer....

Psoriasis clearing up some gone completely and losing weight...carnivore...and in the philippines it's easy, and the ground meat is only steak, ground steak and cheap...lol
I'd say that regardless of your diet, if you have snack cravings, go ahead and snack. Just make sure you aren't eating any carbs. For many years, when my youngest daughter was in school, I'd make turkey and cheese sandwiches for her lunch. I'd eat turkey and cheese slices while making it. I don't eat breakfast or snack anymore, but still eat a lot of turkey and cheese slices during my eating window. Another good quick snack it no sugar jerky wrapped in cheese. C15 fatty acid is key in preventing insulin resistance and dairy products are most people's best source of C15.
I’m not even sure why one would worry about fiber intake being high or low, unless you’re already experiencing or are newly experiencing bloating and constipation when starting keto. Take a fiber supplement if and when needed.
Just great. I don't know if anyone reads these comments, but can anyone tell me how to find a doctor in my area that has this understanding of diet and heart risks? I'm currently under the care of a very nice cardiologist who is more into plant based.
@@cinnie2543 I'm sorry Cinnie, I can't help you because I live in Spain but what I can do is recomend the videos from Dr Anthony Chaffee's Channel, who is the one I follow the most because he seems like a very balanced guy to me.

I would like to know if my GI doc and my cardiologist are lying to me about a healthy diet, or are they just ignorant ? Both indicate a high fiber, low fat diet is what I need…
All i know is that it cured my depression and severe anxiety i've had för about 13 years since i was 12-13 years old when i tried to treat nerve pain and numbing i started getting about a year ago and no doctor seemed to take me seriously here in stockholm. Not even 2 weeks in, my anxiety was just gone. A little over 3 weeks in, the pain, numbing, muscle twitching and headaches were starting to fade. 3 months in i'd lost almost 35 lbs and i had no intention of losing weight when i first started but i just felt better and better. No training at all under this time and dang i gained so much muscle mass from all the protein while working in construction😂 never felt better will never look back. Highly recommend trying carnivore, ketovore or even a keto diet that still would have you reaching alot of the benefits of being in ketosis. Good luck to anyone that feels like trying. Have a goal to reach the 3 month mark on one of these diets so you can be sure you're able to feel the full spectrum of benefits in both body and spirit. Took me 3-4 weeks to get fully fat adapted but for some it can take 8-12 weeks at most.
Lets all together and forever DROP the expression.. ...:diet: It sounds short term and it should not be whatsoever. I call keto or carnivore a ...LIFE PROTOCOL.. Because you change your lifestyle of health fueling yourself. forever.!!!😊
This is really interesting because matter fact, I just had to request my money back. I knew to me a learning platform I took a keto coaching program. I started to go through and the lady teaching it. She’s teaching it from a keto perspective and she was saying that you can’t get all your nutrients from Animal product so long you gotta have vegetables. I like you know so I would I was kind of shocked and I said you know when she said you gotta be careful if she was actually teaching something like opposite of keto so so a program isn’t what I’m looking for they give me 90 days to get my cat money back so I can look for a better program if I have time, but it was just a half hour listening to it. It was all full of pretty bad information.
Yes, you can. With the carnivore diet optimal weight is achieved. If you are overweight, you lose. If you are below your optimal weight, you gain weight and tone your muscles. Don't be afraid, just have to eat meat and eggs and that kind of animal products. I assure you'll feel better.
My carnivore diet is sooooo simple unless I want to have a "cooking day". Once a week, I pull out five meats of what ever - one bacon if I have a craving. I always have eggs - plain yogurt and cottage cheese available if I get really hungry. I do add blueberries to my yogurt and sometimes I will eat a kiwi. I try to buy enough meat for a month (it costs about $250 a month) and I pay another $50 for raw milk and other dairy.
Carb cravings going away bad not happened at all for me. Full on John Pinette levels of obsession. I've been keto for 11 months. Only one time while sick did I break the 5 percent carbs for the day when I had matzo ball soup for a couple meals. That said, weight way down, blood pressure way down to off meds, aches and pains way down, general daily energy up, and more postive results. That said, I look forward to going to a low carb, not keto diet when I hit my weight goals.
I"m looking at an ad for Keanu Reeves about stopping a crazy biker who was kicking a dog. ho-hum. But, it popped into my brain (after eating my lunch of grass fed ground beef) that this was like a doctor who "kicks" his patient for the sake of paradigmatic progress, ignoring the needs of the patient. I have questions about my supposed diabetes, arrived at basically because of a .2 point above a1c of 5.7. My doctor jumps to stimulating diabetes, and I picked up on the fact that now I was hungry after 3 hours, eating every 3 hours, stimulating more insulin. That is how I started this 25 years ago. Now I eat mostly grass fed beef, and a few salads, because they appear to be glucose neutral, and I like salad. In 4 days I dropped 4 lbs. Have to see if that continues.
Good question. There is some vitamin C in meat and when carnivore you need less Vitamin C. Reason is that carb and vitamin C compete in the body, so if eating carbs you need more vitamin C to effectively get your required amount of Vitamin C.
@CraigChristie-bv2bt . Thank you! I'm gradually transitioning to a meat based diet, cutting out carbs. I'm about 90% there, but Vitamin C was worrying me.
My wife and I have been trying to have a child for nearly 8 years, even IVFs did not work for us , at the beginning of the year we gave up meat and she is now 4 months pregnant - no more meat for us ever again ❤
Would suggest meat for your child, if red meat is off table then consider chicken and fish... if this is also avoided, please have daily eggs available.
Are there any people who have zero protein in the urine? My doctor will tell me I’ve got protein in my urine and then I say how much he doesn’t answer and then I say how much is too much and he still doesn’t answer. I think the implication is we’re supposed to have zero but I don’t think that’s possible
How about we talk about all the lies being told about and the misinformation on a high carb diet being spewed out to people. I'm a type 1 diabetic who has followed the exact instructions from my endocrinologists and medical teams and it only caused more problems and made blood sugars harder to control. Switching to a carnivore diet I've been able to drop my a1c from 11 down to 7.8 in 3 months which dr's said would take me 2-4 years. I had developed a significant amount of lumps of scar tissue at my injection sites. My Dr's have specifically told me across the board that once these lumps develope they will absolutely never go away and are permanent with no cure. After about two months into the diet they started shrinking. Nerve damage in my right eye causing a blind spot which was progressively getting worse and I was told the only options were laser surgery, or getting injections. I've been getting injections and following their advice and directions for 4 years with two needles in my eye once a month. The injections barely kept me stable and despite lowering blood sugars from an a1c of 13 down to 11, after a year on carno the noticeable feeling of built up pressure is gone, blind spot gone, internal bleeding and swelling reduced on imaging by 80% and have been moved onto a significantly reduced amount of injections. I had lost feeling in the heel of both my feet and I can now feel them again. I was severely depressed, anxious, suicidal, brain fog, distracted, lethargic, constantly sore body and random nerve pain. The only thing that has made a difference is a change in diet. Granted there may be other solutions for these things but at 26 and trying out every recommended treatment by the mainstream medical community with no success, and now making such significant progress in what seems to be every problem area at once is enough anecdotal eveidence for me.
Sorry Dr. Eric Westman I do not trust Doctors (even if they are board certified). I trust the common people who have been doing these diets and educating us all, even though doctors were against them.
Lie #10...no way do I ever feel deprived on carnivore. Maybe the first few weeks, but now I feel blessed. I don't crave junk food and snacks and I eat like a king! I have steak, chicken, pork chops, and occasionally seafood. It's really cheaper than people think, too! Once you cut out all the side dishes and just buy meat, your grocery bill will go down! And the best benefit is I have way less inflammation and arthritis pain! That's a bonus!👍😁
my blood pressure was high enough to think about taking pills for it. Stopped eating meat, went vegetarian and 48 hours later my blood pressure was normal for the first time in several years.
So.... you're blaming meat for your blood pressure and now you feel healthy. God help you. BTW, what else did you give up? Come back in a couple of years.
Misinformation misinformation misinformation…what do you do when it’s 4:58, your on hour 7 of a fast and you have a Red Bull, peanut butter and a steak in front of you?

I have been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney failure. I’m convinced that a low carb diet will be the way to lower my blood pressure to safe levels for my kidneys. Problem is, my nephrologist and everyone around me claim I have to avoid protein for the sake of my kidneys. I don’t think they understand how powerful a carb addiction can be. So far I’ve been secretly eating a fat rich carnivore diet for three days and for the first time In months my blood pressure has reached safe levels. Am I messing up here?
Look up Dr. Jason Fung. He is a nephrologist who recommends low carbohydrate diets and fasting. He started his program years ago, because most of his patients had T2 diabetes, which was destroying their kidneys.
At stage 3 you don't have to worry about protien. Restricting certain nutrients only becomes necessary in late stage 4 or stage 5, if your GFR drops below 15%. Stick with low carb and avoid processed foods.
You could also fast (to refrain occasionally from meat) for a couple of days, now and then and listen to what Jason Fung has to say, he's a nephrologist.

Elen, whenever I have been told that by any doctor I ask them to show me the "Science". That usually shuts them up.
Those are the doctors to get your blood work from. They need real info to change their minds. Otherwise they keep believing their myths.
First thing. Make sure you are not at a hospital complex funded by Adventist like Sloan Kettering
They always make fabricated research
Keto and/or Carnivore diets are WONDERFUL CHOICES !! I've been this way for years now and I am happy and healthy without plants !!
This was a nice review of some of the most common concerns I've heard when I talk about my diet. As much as I'd like to add back in some vegetables, I do better with meat only. Even spices leave me inflamed after a day or two. And thank you for calling out pharmacists. While it's hard to buck the training, I'd love to see more of my colleagues in the low-carb space.
Thank you, Dr Westman and Dr Hampton.

I had never seen DKA using nutritional ketosis until these medications came out! They can cause DKA even when you are eating carbs! Rest assured that keto/carnivore does the same thing (and more!) as these medications.-Dr W
This just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called Health and Beauty Mastery by Julian Bannett. It has been censored.
I heard about that book before, thanks for sharing
Why can't I find this book?
Thanks so much for having Dr Tony Hampton on to explain this. He is so clear and easy to understand. Thanks for explaining the ONE exception to causing problems instead of healthy nutritional ketosis - by taking medications like Jardiance which can cause euglycemic diabetic keto acidosis - using the drugs that are SGLT2 (sodium-glucose co-transporter 2) inhibitors for diabetes, kidney or heart problems. Will be asking friends with these diseases if taking any of those before I recommend Carnivore or Keto.
I am 78 and have been carnivore now 18 months and have had great results - no more arthritis pain, hand tremors, need for heart medications, etc.
Carnivore is how I recovered from a calorie restricted plant based (low fat, vegan) diet. I lost 30 lbs and almost lost all my skin, muscle, and mental health. The transition was difficult, no doubt- 'bout like a heroin addict going through withdrawals. Body pain, diarrhea, fatigue, not to mention oxalate dumping. After about 2 months, my skin wasn't tearing, my strength was returning, and my anxiety was gone. Now at 6 months and I am never going back. My lipid profile was disrupted on a plant based diet with Triglycerides- looking forward to labs at my annual in January.

Add a magnesium supplement.
Are you on carnivore? It may help to know that your digestion will slow down (or return to normal function depending on your viewpoint) on carnivore. Your body is able to use what you put in your mouth so there is no rush to waste it down the toilet. It should theoretically be possible to never have to go to the toilet but going more often than never is fine😊.
Compare this to a carb based meal that might hold fibre and other material that cannot be used. Your body will work so hard to get rid of it . The old way of thinking is that you have regular healthy bowl movements, but if the food you eat goes through your system in about 12 hours only to get flushed down the toilet, should it go into your mouth in the first place?

Just doing protein and fats, it is absolutely impossible to meet your nutritional needs!
You are starving!
So you are eating over 4000 calories and still losing weight? When I go over 2100 cal/day I gain immediately. I'm strict carnivore for almost two years. I can easily overeat protein and fat. I do resistance training and cardio 3 times per week minimum.
@EEEBA1 I do a lot of alternate day fasting so don't eat 4k+ everyday.
But do 4 times a week generally.
Over the last 8 week of tracking I've averaged just under 2,300 a day, with generally 3 days a week with zero.
I've lost just over 19lbs during that time.
But as I said that after a year of maintaining a 85+ weight loss over the 15 months before that (which was 15lbs below my original goal weight) so it isn't like when I started coming off a SAD like diet and was dropping weight fast. This time I had already lost a ton of weight and had a healthier diet than like 95% of people already.

I could always use some reassurance. I'm surrounded by people who think I'm crazy. Even my Dr.
Welcome to the party. You are not alone.
Great video! Yes, you are not alone. I wish we could have a big carnivore party!
Just don't tell people
Hot take: Doctor says dont eat your vegetables!
🤣😂😅👍👍🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖
Very good summary❤️
Tony Hampton sounds quite educated for a doctor - a rare phenomenon. I didn't hear the lie that my new M.D. told me - that the carnivore diet was the most inflammatory diet I could possibly eat. She advised I switch to the Mediterranean diet. lol... M.D.s - not very bright.
Just had bloodwork done after 2 years of keto. Sky high ldl as I expected. Triglycerides were normal. Not sure what doctor will say.
Also I was treated for prostate cancer 3 years ago and monitor my psa count. With keto my psa level has gone Down! Very pleased. I do fast daily after 2pm. I'm 76 year senior. My new doctor explained to me how saturated fat like bacon and fatty meat is bad. To me the only question is the ldl....we shall see.
Bacon and fats are good for you. The sugars, carbs are not good. I watch ken Berry as well
Why do you care what a drug pusher says?
You are resolution for your own health, not some over educated guesser!!!
We had a power cut yesterday, so I skipped breakfast. Today, I decided to skip breakfast again. No hunger pangs, just a slight hollow feeling in my stomach. I love the way LCHF makes me feel, and my sleep quality is so much better.
Oh yeah I forgot to put my sleep quality is awesome now I sleep 729 hours straight through with no interruptions now
I love the simplicity of the keto lifestyle! I don't do the keto bread, muffins etc that's on YT. Keeping it simply beef, eggs, some veggies, fish, PB, tea & electrolytes. Oh and bacon 😊
I started keto due to rising blood glucose levels and 2 months in I've had decent success. Initially I was using net carbs but it seems like more and more of the sugar substitutes are at least being partially digested and raising blood sugars so I moved to total carb counting. I'm considering carnivore to make my life simpler. I wish there were a "network" of sorts to find keto friendly doctors but here in the south I've yet to find a doctor that will even acknowledge food affects your health, they just want to prescribe meds and confirm to patients to eat anything they want because variety is good.
Thanks, Dr. Westman.
My life has improved exponentially since I've gone carnivore! Anyone who reaches a decent age is pretty in tune with their body. And my body feels fabulous! Brain fog is gone, psoriasis is gone, asthma is gone, allergies are gone, joint pain is gone, stiffness is gone, I can run up and down the stairs instead of walking like I'm 90 my bad knee hasn't bothered me in 2 years now! I don't need to be a rocket scientist to know this is doing good things for me oh yeah and the best side effect of all I am at high School weigt and cut!
Thank you Dr. Westman ! You make the keto diet so easy to follow. I sometimes have followed to many people and got so confused as to what should I be eating. I finally pulled out page 4 and started to follow that again and my life has gotten so much easier.
great information Doctors. ✊
Thanks for another great review
I get shredded every summer. Always have high energy, sex drive high and skin and hair amazing condition. my mother got renal cancer after 3rd jab . I convinced her to do keto , after scans it’s shrank tumours faster than they grew . So amazing how millions and millions of people fixing health issues that carbs caused .
One of the most difficult things to overcome is having a wife who continually repeats those same lies including putting "temptations" of old go to foods on the home menu!
Love will find a way :-0)
Gee I am so sorry. The only way she may change is to see how healthy you become. Maybe you could choose to fix your own meals with simple things such as meats and cheeses. Eggs are very easy and good carnivore.

My husband and mother the same way. Husband down to 250 lbs since he started ozempic. Crazy how he knows more than me when I'm at near normal weight. Mother is 85.

@@normanappleton3627 I've seen this for decades for anyone eating a way different from others. For example, plant-based or vegans who bemoan others eating meat in front of them and having no respect for their way of eating. You don't seem to be blaming her, which is good, because it's your problem, not hers. Not being able to eat together stinks. I'm lucky in that I can fix anything for my kids and not be tempted. But I'm not incorruptible a few under other circumstances. There are ways to alter your behavior while around sweets/carbs. Next time you want ice cream or sweets, get a bottle of liquid stevia and squirt a big dose onto you tongue;swish it around. Overload your system with so much sweetness that it disgusts you. It has worked for me. There are other techniques to overcome habits and cravings, but I won't bore you. I just wouldn't blame anyone else for them.

“Unless you have pre-existing kidney disease, keto doesn’t hurt your kidneys.” What about those of us that do have CKD (Covid induced damage which has resulted in one kidney atrophying)? Is it still safe to eat this way? I’ve been advised to reduce my protein intake.
Better than eating vegetables plenty of oxalates.

1. Eat more calorie-dense keto foods like fatty cuts of meat, eggs, butter, and heavy cream.
2. Add healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and coconut oil to meals.
3. Snack on high-fat, low-carb options like macadamia nuts or fat bombs.
4. Include keto shakes with added MCT oil or cream.
5. Increase meal frequency if needed, even on keto.

@ carnivore
I wish my doctor would watch this! AND my brother and SIL. Thanks for this great reinforcement of what I’ve been aware of for approximately 5 years now. I didn’t know about the SGLP injections with already following the keto lifestyle. Based on that info, I’ve decided not to restart the injections. I don’t need keto acidosis! Have a great Christmas.
I started with carnivore but couldn't give up my veg. Being keto has been amazing! There are things I occasionally wish I could have but I've worked hard to get where I am and there are so many delicious things I still CAN have, that I'm able to not cheat and stay satisfied!❤
Dr. Hampton is absolutely right about Lie #10; I used to eat 3 large meals a day and snack on 2-3 pounds of high carb/calorie foods every day. I justified that by drinking 6-8 diet sodas (20oz.) per day and still went to bed hungry. I now eat approximately 1lb. of beef with usually 4 eggs and a half pound of cheddar cheese once a day. I do splurge and drink 32- 64 ounces of BULLETPROOF COFFEE every day and usually up to 64 ounces of water per day. I no longer have cravings that I can’t ignore.

Go to Wikipedia and search for the longest living countrys. After that look for the Countrys eating the most meat.

Is this a symptom of reducing carbs. Should i continue on and the dizziness will go away?

Do you recommend this diet for someone with hemochromotosis?
I believe dr Paul Mason talked about this. Apparently eating red meat on a keto or carnivore diet helped hemochrombtosis patients
Love Dr Hampton.
I'd say that regardless of your diet, if you have snack cravings, go ahead and snack. Just make sure you aren't eating any carbs. For many years, when my youngest daughter was in school, I'd make turkey and cheese sandwiches for her lunch. I'd eat turkey and cheese slices while making it. I don't eat breakfast or snack anymore, but still eat a lot of turkey and cheese slices during my eating window. Another good quick snack it no sugar jerky wrapped in cheese. C15 fatty acid is key in preventing insulin resistance and dairy products are most people's best source of C15.
Great video
I’m not even sure why one would worry about fiber intake being high or low, unless you’re already experiencing or are newly experiencing bloating and constipation when starting keto. Take a fiber supplement if and when needed.

All i know is that it cured my depression and severe anxiety i've had för about 13 years since i was 12-13 years old when i tried to treat nerve pain and numbing i started getting about a year ago and no doctor seemed to take me seriously here in stockholm. Not even 2 weeks in, my anxiety was just gone. A little over 3 weeks in, the pain, numbing, muscle twitching and headaches were starting to fade. 3 months in i'd lost almost 35 lbs and i had no intention of losing weight when i first started but i just felt better and better. No training at all under this time and dang i gained so much muscle mass from all the protein while working in construction😂 never felt better will never look back. Highly recommend trying carnivore, ketovore or even a keto diet that still would have you reaching alot of the benefits of being in ketosis. Good luck to anyone that feels like trying. Have a goal to reach the 3 month mark on one of these diets so you can be sure you're able to feel the full spectrum of benefits in both body and spirit. Took me 3-4 weeks to get fully fat adapted but for some it can take 8-12 weeks at most.

This is really interesting because matter fact, I just had to request my money back. I knew to me a learning platform I took a keto coaching program. I started to go through and the lady teaching it. She’s teaching it from a keto perspective and she was saying that you can’t get all your nutrients from Animal product so long you gotta have vegetables. I like you know so I would I was kind of shocked and I said you know when she said you gotta be careful if she was actually teaching something like opposite of keto so so a program isn’t what I’m looking for they give me 90 days to get my cat money back so I can look for a better program if I have time, but it was just a half hour listening to it. It was all full of pretty bad information.
Having an MD DOES NOT MEAN A THING.
I am only 38kg and 163cm(I was 167bifor) i am73j old kan I eat corniwore end make mor kg?
Yes, you can. With the carnivore diet optimal weight is achieved. If you are overweight, you lose. If you are below your optimal weight, you gain weight and tone your muscles. Don't be afraid, just have to eat meat and eggs and that kind of animal products. I assure you'll feel better.
My carnivore diet is sooooo simple unless I want to have a "cooking day". Once a week, I pull out five meats of what ever - one bacon if I have a craving. I always have eggs - plain yogurt and cottage cheese available if I get really hungry. I do add blueberries to my yogurt and sometimes I will eat a kiwi. I try to buy enough meat for a month (it costs about $250 a month) and I pay another $50 for raw milk and other dairy.
Carb cravings going away bad not happened at all for me. Full on John Pinette levels of obsession.
I've been keto for 11 months. Only one time while sick did I break the 5 percent carbs for the day when I had matzo ball soup for a couple meals.
That said, weight way down, blood pressure way down to off meds, aches and pains way down, general daily energy up, and more postive results.
That said, I look forward to going to a low carb, not keto diet when I hit my weight goals.
I"m looking at an ad for Keanu Reeves about stopping a crazy biker who was kicking a dog. ho-hum. But, it popped into my brain (after eating my lunch of grass fed ground beef) that this was like a doctor who "kicks" his patient for the sake of paradigmatic progress, ignoring the needs of the patient. I have questions about my supposed diabetes, arrived at basically because of a .2 point above a1c of 5.7. My doctor jumps to stimulating diabetes, and I picked up on the fact that now I was hungry after 3 hours, eating every 3 hours, stimulating more insulin. That is how I started this 25 years ago. Now I eat mostly grass fed beef, and a few salads, because they appear to be glucose neutral, and I like salad. In 4 days I dropped 4 lbs. Have to see if that continues.
Than you
What about Vitamin C. Where does that come from on a carnivore diet? Do you need to take a Vitamin C supplement?
Good question.
There is some vitamin C in meat and when carnivore you need less Vitamin C. Reason is that carb and vitamin C compete in the body, so if eating carbs you need more vitamin C to effectively get your required amount of Vitamin C.
@CraigChristie-bv2bt . Thank you! I'm gradually transitioning to a meat based diet, cutting out carbs. I'm about 90% there, but Vitamin C was worrying me.

It's always either positive or negative. Kind of vague.
How about we talk about all the lies being told about and the misinformation on a high carb diet being spewed out to people. I'm a type 1 diabetic who has followed the exact instructions from my endocrinologists and medical teams and it only caused more problems and made blood sugars harder to control. Switching to a carnivore diet I've been able to drop my a1c from 11 down to 7.8 in 3 months which dr's said would take me 2-4 years. I had developed a significant amount of lumps of scar tissue at my injection sites. My Dr's have specifically told me across the board that once these lumps develope they will absolutely never go away and are permanent with no cure. After about two months into the diet they started shrinking. Nerve damage in my right eye causing a blind spot which was progressively getting worse and I was told the only options were laser surgery, or getting injections. I've been getting injections and following their advice and directions for 4 years with two needles in my eye once a month. The injections barely kept me stable and despite lowering blood sugars from an a1c of 13 down to 11, after a year on carno the noticeable feeling of built up pressure is gone, blind spot gone, internal bleeding and swelling reduced on imaging by 80% and have been moved onto a significantly reduced amount of injections. I had lost feeling in the heel of both my feet and I can now feel them again. I was severely depressed, anxious, suicidal, brain fog, distracted, lethargic, constantly sore body and random nerve pain. The only thing that has made a difference is a change in diet. Granted there may be other solutions for these things but at 26 and trying out every recommended treatment by the mainstream medical community with no success, and now making such significant progress in what seems to be every problem area at once is enough anecdotal eveidence for me.

Lie #10...no way do I ever feel deprived on carnivore. Maybe the first few weeks, but now I feel blessed. I don't crave junk food and snacks and I eat like a king! I have steak, chicken, pork chops, and occasionally seafood. It's really cheaper than people think, too! Once you cut out all the side dishes and just buy meat, your grocery bill will go down!

Doctors and Science usually change direction every 20 years or so I take most advice with a jaundiced eye and a prayer.
