I am 50 years old. Started keto and intermittent fasting in Sept .I quickly switched to carnivore . Started with a 12.3 A1C, high blood pressure, morbid obesity with a weight of 361. Today I take no medication and have perfect blood pressure, a 4.9 A1C, and I am down to 268. I am starting to work out this week.I have mental clarity, increased energy and drive.
I had a stent put in and it drove me to this. I knew about it, but I wasn’t listening, but when you have a life-threatening thing like that, there is no going back to regular food awesome testimony, dude.
Been carnivore for 6 weeks coming from 4 months keto. Feel amazing since switching over. No more bloating and constipation. More energy , better mood and I feel stronger and body comp changing. Not knocking keto cause it brought me to carnivore but I've had significant changes in a short period.
Hey Joe, it is probably because you have had GI issues like Dr. Berg said. Your body couldnt handle the keto and the carnivore diet feels better on your system. He said you should do carnivore diet for short term to heal your GI tract, but eventually you should go back to eating vegetables so you can get all the nutrients you need to thrive on.
I find fascinating that you can eat pizza, ramen noodles and soda every day and no one will raise an eyebrow but if you eat a steak every day you'll get the whole town giving you advice against what you're doing.
I am 35 years old 5'7 and about 11 months or so ago I was 235 pounds. I have always had a stocky build but, the excess fat became very noticeable. I dove right into strict carnivore for a solid 3 months and the results were beyond my expectations. After the 3 months I allowed myself a cheat day once a month but, still was mindful of what I was eating. After another 2 months I added mushrooms and jalapeno (my two favorite "vegetables,") into the diet plan and shortly after blueberries. After a total of 8 months of the diet I was down to 168 and looking very lean. The thing about carnivore is, it was just so easy for me and I enjoyed all the benefits from it so I didn't feel like I was dieting and still don't. My sleep got better, blood pressure went down, I have high energy which I was lacking for... years, no anxiety, and my depression while comes and goes, is no where near what it used to be (I believe everyone has depression to some extent) I have never done keto but, If you read this comment and are questioning the keto/carnivore diet, it does work! at least for me it did. I would HIGHLY suggest simply cutting out sugar of any kind from your diet as a start. I had no idea how much sugar was affecting my life and now almost a year in, I have been sugar free the whole time and my blood work looks picture perfect! Every journey starts with the first step. Once you get rolling, nothing can stop you but yourself!
The reason why Americans feel so much better on carnivore is that most stuff Americans eat is complete junk. So when they switch to carnivore it unintendedly works a bit like a detox. Most things you buy in america are ultra processed sugars and refined carbs. People who move to for example Italy cant believe how much healthier even "fast foods" are here
I went on Keto for 6 months. Had a little weight lose and sleep improved a little also but asthma was becoming worse and cravings for bread and pasta were almost consuming me. Included intermittent fasting for another 3 months and only thing different was a boost in daily energy. Tried carnivore on a 30 day dare and felt great almost immediately so I am hooked.
Been on keto for 6 months and not a single response in weight loss, muscle maintenance, dark circles around my eyes or GI issues. I was beginning to think I'm just not meant to get better....then I went carnivore (my dream nutrition as I am a lifelong fan of all kinds of flesh) and in 2 weeks: I lost 4kg, (and 7cm around my waist and boobs) Have NO bloating after eating My skin is clear I feel like I can pick up a MAC truck!
I gained 30 pounds from keto in 6 months, it was clean keto, 1200 calories , I went back to Mediterranean diet I lost the weight . It’s not for everyone, I prefer low fat , high protein diet to burn off the fat I already have. And healthy carbs I love vegetables and helps with my mood so much .
@@raniaqueen110 @NutritionwithJudy "How Much to Eat on a Carnivore Diet (for Hormones and Thyroid): Macros, Calories, Protein & Fats." I don't think 1200 calories is providing your body proper nutrition and it may actually be starving. If you watch the video above Judy provides a chart that shows everyone over 8 y/o need more than that. Be careful eating low fat, the body requires fat to operate properly. I eat high fat medium protein and am struggling to gain the weight I lost when I went carnivore. If you research carnivore a little you'll find out that lean meat is unhealthy and fatty meat is healthy.
@@FocusingOnChrist Just remember..."Nose to Tail". I don't like liver so I take desiccated liver capsules. Gristle and tendon and other connective tissues are important. Brain and other organs are also important.
I've only been carnivore since Mother's Day, so just a couple weeks, but I am amazed by the changes! I have been battling digestive issues for several years and nothing really seemed to work. I poo-pood carnivore for a while because I could not imagine eating just meat, especially red meat. But after reading reviews of those living it especially in regards to digestive issues, I said, I gotta try this. My stomach has not been this quiet in years!!! No gas, bloating, heaviness in the abdominal area, no constipation or diarrhea, fatigue has totally lifted, sleeping incredibly well, not hungry hardly ever, no cravings, and I actually want water now!!! I swear, I HATED water and would rarely drink it unless it had to be in something like coffee or tea...now I love it!!! It tastes so good now! That has really blown my mind. I can tell I've lost weight but haven't weighed myself yet but I can just feel it in my body and see it. I would never have believed this was possible. I don't even miss veggies and fruit and I loved all of that. I eat burgers, steak (wagyu because I totally ruin anything else), chicken, salmon, eggs and mackeral (love it). Haven't done any organ meats really but I may. I don't know if I will add veggies and fruits back but I'll probably try down the road just to see, but I don't miss any of it. Cutting carbs worked well but this carnivore thing is simply amazing. So glad that I gave it a try and much easier for me than trying to eat 7-10 cups of veggies...ain't gonna happen. Not for everyone, no doubt, but it's good to have options like this. Dr. Berg is definitely a good doctor, but there is no one thing for everyone...the results that we are getting prove that.
Don't eat too much liver , it's very nutritious, but watch you iron. Too much iron leads to many serious problems. Just calculate how is the proportion of liver weight to whole carcass, that's your intake ratio of liver
@@ruthboaz3984 I agree. I am blood type O and I thrive on lots of meat and lower on the veggies. Everything turned around for me following the type O diet. It’s essentially keto. My primary diet is meat and sauerkraut
@@brandonlee106 Im O- and the carnivore diet has been making me nautious. I can barely look at an egg and I used to love them. Going back to Dr Bergs original diet. I did well on that 2 yrs ago. Esp since Im prone to kidney stones.
Been intermittent fasting for over 2 years and feeling great with that. Carnivore is healing me more than keto or any other healthy diet I've tried. I have IBS for 29 years, and within my first two weeks on carnivore I have no more bloating, no more stomach pain, and my joints are hurting much less, as well as other improvements I'm seeing. I have more energy and I sleep better. I believe the carnivore diet is better for some, maybe not all, people. But our ancestors ate like this when meat was plentiful and maybe did a paleo type or keto type diet when meat was more scarce. I do throw in a big green salad a few times a week because I enjoy salad, but the majority diet is now eggs, bacon, butter, beef (mostly), chicken, and salmon. We actually do get a lot of nutrients from meats, because the animal ate the plants that had the nutrients in them, and the animal processed (broke down) those nutrients for us, making it even easier for us to absorb them, which is a big positive. Keto is good, but I've personally found carnivore better. Feel better over all. Anyone who wants to learn more about carnivore, check out Dr. Ken D Berry's YT channel. ;)
Yeah but you have to make sure that the animal fat is grass fed grass finished cause if its no its gonna have to much omega 6 it's gonna increase estrogen cause they feeding the cow corn and soy
Only if it's grass fed and wild caught - did the animal consume "good stuff". 90% of people can only afford and just are - eating grain fed meat and even fish (farmed). Meat today, is not what it was. Period. So the way our ancestors are is null and void. The meat they hunted and the meat we buy is like comparing apples to oranges. My breakfast today was a two egg omelette with half a red onion (raw) a clove of garlic (raw) all chopped and sprinkled on top before folding the egg. A sprinkle of turmeric. A handful of coriander (cilantro), half an avo with apple cider vinegar and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for all the b vitamins naturally. Egg fried in a LITTLE butter. A little bit of goodness from lots of things. The only difference between "keto" and "carnivore" is that keto allows all the greens. Not much difference. I aim for 45g of protein a day. That's 200g of meat in total. And if I'm not feeling for meat (it gets boring very fast) I may just eat avos / eggs and salad for a few days. If I'm feeling lazy - and all there is is a tin or sardines - that may be all I eat in a day. We are not robots. Days differ. I could very easily eat fish and shellfish and never get bored. But that would be dumb. Because fish and shelfish are full of heavy metals. Moderation. Again. Each to their own. It's a waste of breath of a debate. 10 million carnivores swear by the carnivore way. 10 million vegans swear by the vegan way. 10 million pescatarians swear by their way. They ALL claim to feel better. They are all speaking from experience. As omnivores, we should eat as such. In my opinion.
@@sasha857 That's a good question. However, the fruits and veggies God created in the beginning of creation were perfect, before mankind sinned. Afterward, as part of punishment, God told Adam and that mankind would now have to till the ground by the dust of their brow (hard work) to get the fields to yield food. In the garden fruit had grown on its own and was readily available to them before the fall of mankind and curse of creation because of sin. In the past several hundred years fruits and vegetables have been cultivated by humans to be bigger and to produce higher yield. In the past 100 years the purpose of this is mainly linked to profits. Big Food corps, big Ag, they make billions off us all. Fruit is now bigger and contains more sugar, and sugar is addicting, making us want more, and so we go back to buy more of these cultivated fruits. As veggies have also been cultivated to be bigger and yield more produce, thte plants have adapted to produce more toxins, which are harmful to the human microbiome, among other parts of the body. Many animals are able to handle these toxins as their GI systems are different from ours. Cows break down the plants and toxins, because they have four stomachs, which then makes their meat safe for us to eat. They break it down for us. God made their systems able to handle the plants so that we don't have to. There is a subtance in almonds, and other nuts and seeds, called amygdaline. It turns into cyanide in the small intestine of humans. For some it is more toxic at lower levels, which means not a lot of almonds need to be eaten to reach toxic levels of amygdaline. I hope this helps a bit.
I've been carnivore since 2015 and for me it's noticeably better than traditional keto. I overall love your videos but I had a few reactions to this one specifically. As for vitamin C, most all meat has some vitamin C, and chicken liver has a lot of vitamin C. When you stop eating plants/carbs you don't need nearly as much vitamin C so meat has more than you need. As for potassium, bacon has 170% more potassium than bananas, so potassium is definitely not lacking on a carnivore diet. Also grass fed meat contains phytonutrients, so that also isn't lacking on carnivore. As for high protein vs fat, it's very easy to make carnivore high fat moderate protein. Pork belly, for instance, has 53 grams of fat and only 9 grams of protein per 100 gram serving.
Additionally darcy, the carnivore diet fails to acknowledge that natural carnivores consume the stomache content of majority herbivores. They get the vegetables and nutrients from animals that eat vegetables. god people how dumb can you be
Eskimos are evolved carnivores. Their bodies have adapted to their diet. And their lifespan is on average 40 to 45 years old. Think about that you nonce
this is interesting, it is hard for me to handle emotionally, it seems so extreme, and i have not had liver and onions in Decades and again i do not think i can handle it emotionally. Dr Bergs comment that he thinks a wider variety of nutrients with vegetables seems better and that just seems sort of - the thing speaks for itself. Also his comment it might be good for some people for show periods for specific Reasons seems reasonable. Your comment that you have been on it since 2015 is amazing. i just bought a whole bunch of meat but , i am not sure. Dr Lustig says , maybe the Heme in red meat is oxidizing and the is the problem. I am not going to go Vegan , either that seems so extreme , cheeseless pizza no. But right keto no pizza. slow deep breaths , but really just meat since 2015 , really? i find it hard to imagine " eat your vegetables dear" how could your Grand Mother be wrong?
I am a few weeks into mostly carnivore; about 90% carnivore. Not congested every single morning, lost 6 lbs. I am not tired all of the time, more energy, and today I had someone with a lit cigarette walk by and did not have an asthma attack 😂😂I can't tell you how awesome that was; I have had my asthma triggered from smoke residue on someone's clothing in the past, so this was a big carnivore induced health perk.
@@pamelamohn5931 I've just started (two weeks on carnivore), I'm very concerned with oxalate dumping as I've heard this can cause a lot of health issues. Have you had any issues yourself, or have you taken supplements to halt this?
When on carnivore, eat only 2 times a day... 800-1000 calories per meal... You will look awesome 👍 in 2 months... Liver every other day, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and 5000mg quality fish oil. I lost 45lbs. In 3 months and gained unbelievable muscle. Sleep like a rock. And intermittent fasting 20/4. Good luck and find what works for you..
Im 43 and play tennis 2-5 times a week. Lost the weight ( from 125 kilos to 93 kilos) , keeping it stable now effortlessly, no more depression, feeling level headed,no more emotional up&downs, no more digestive issues, sleep is perfect, inflamations all gone, my knee arthritis has become very mild when and if it pops up. General state of bliss and natural ecstasy feeling...especially if i eat meat raw. What i eat ? organic grass fed : ribeye , beef liver,lamb chops, raw butter, beef fat, raw organic eggs( mainly yolks) pork belly, parma ham, raw buffalo mozzarella, greek style yougurt, kefir,cottage cheese, unpastorised cheeses ( parmesan, Roquefort, Comte, swiss gruvyer, oissou rati,manchego and whatever i can find). Sashimi sushi ( no rice) sardines , salmon , salmon roe and oysters and shell fish. No more pasta, wheat, bread, cereals, sugar, sweets, sodas, cakes,vegs and seeds and grains and starch and nuts or legumes or beans. BOOM. Also stopped smoking after 28 yrs guys... that says it all.
It's been 3 years since you posted this comment. I'm curious, Besides your age, has anything changed? Are you still eating like this? Did you have to take electrolyte supplements? Are you still playing tennis 2-5 times a week?
I've been cycling back and forth between nutritional keto and carnivore now for 6-7 months and the results speak for themselves. I started at 401.6lbs in Dec 2017 and as of this morning Aug 11, 2018 I'm 268.4lbs and still going. I've set a goal of 200lbs by Xmas 2018 and have every intention of getting there. Carnivory works well and can help find the issues of gut health that a wide swath of foods will prevent. An elimination diet based in carnivory with added foods as you confirm your tolerance will only help over time. Also, studies are showing that vit C is really only needed by the body to assist in digestion of fibrous foods and in red meats the vit C content is more than adequate on it's own without the need for supplementation.
WireHedd - Congratulations! I'm working a dietary path of getting off my diabetic meds. I find I am much more satisfied without the carbs and can fast for amazing lengths of time. (Not over 3 day's fasting, but as you say cycling between keto, carnivore, and fasting)
Thank you and keep at it and you can get free of a lot of medications that simply are not needed with healthy eating. I also do IF/OMAD in conjunction with my carni-keto WOE.
Dr Berg I stalled for months on clean keto and intermittent fasting. I started strict carnivore 3 weeks ago and have begun losing weight and inches around my stubborn mid section. My plan was 30 days and revisit. I feel great and am hopeful once again. I believe I can give up dairy and lectins forever now. Carnivore is like a reset - extreme elimination.
@@flipurtopeggs are not dairy, but yeah, ive been doing meat, eggs, and butter. would do cheese if i could easily find some without additives in it. still new to carnivore.
Great feedback!! I love Dr. Berg! I am trying Carnivore now for GI improvement. Been on Keto for 11 months and it has changed my life immensely!!! Special gratitude to my favorite RUclips stars, Dr. Berg, Dr. Berry, Dr. Eckberg, Dr. Fung, Dr. Jamnades. You all rock!!!
I can’t wait to try Carnivore, I’ve been fat adapted for the past year and it has been life changing. I still have problems with my Gut. I wonder if a week of carnivore would give me substantial results
Carnivore diet really improved my health. I don't have to eat large quantities of proteins because i do OMAD. The problem i had on Keto was mixing vegetables and animal proteins. When i eat either of those independently, i am fine. But when i mix them, i gradually get bloating and serious inflammation with time and also with high levels of insulin and low energy. It seems that some people microbiome lacks the flexibility to digest both groups of food simultaneously.
You might like a book called Fit For Life, there's 2 books, Fit for Life 1& Fit for Life 2. It talks a lot about food combining, and how eating certain foods away from other foods puts less stress on the digestive tract. Eg it says to eat fruits on their own away from all other foods, as breaking down fruit sugars is a completely different process to breaking down the proteins in meat. When I followed their eating suggestions (they're very loose suggestions) I felt the healthiest I have ever been in my life. I left out grains as I don't like the gluten in most grains (it makes me feel phlegmy, can't be good for me if it does that). It was written in the days before Keto and Carnivore became the new trend. Raw food for their live enzymes to heal the gut. I remember back in the day they were very cheap books and easy to read. You can either eat meat with it or go vegan and leave it out. Up to you. But I never had any GI issues when I ate fruit the way they taught. Food for thought. PS. There's a very interesting chapter in book 2 on sunlight and regular sunbaking which I've never forgotten. About melanin receptor cells taking 3 days to open/close as they adjust to the level of incoming light/uv, explaining why you absolutely will fry your skin with UV rays if you sunbake once a week as opposed to regularly everyday. It's fascinating, that chapter. Worth the price of the whole book.
I just sent in my "success" story. I turn 30 this month and thanks to you and Thomas DeLauer I will be turning 30 in the best shape of my life. Thank you again.
Went carnivore almost a year ago and feel awesome. I’m a licensed nutritional counselor in Wisconsin and for 10 years I ate 90-100% organic food and took a lot of supplements. I consistently felt worse and worse. My joints were killing me, chronic digestive disorders, allergies, asthma and horrible skin. ALL of those issues are now gone. We don’t need vegetation. Plant life is naturally full of chemicals that are toxic. Also, plants don’t contain actual vitamins as we’ve been led to believe. Plants have precursors to vitamins. Fiber is another awful product that will destroy your digestion.
NatuHealth wrong! Plants don’t want to give up their nutrients. You’re not absorbing all those phyto chemicals. Plants have precursors not the actual vitamins. Big difference. More taxing on the liver. You don’t need fiber for the gut bacteria. That’ll cause overgrowth. Fasting is best thing for gut flora.
NatuHealth you don’t know what you’re talking about. How can people thrive without plants or fiber then??? All plants have toxins and they’re primarily just modified from two different plant species to make them even semi digestible. Fool
Been 90% Carnivore for 3 weeks. ( small amounts of dairy, and some fruits) Never felt better. I sleep less, lost 20 lbs, brain feels more alert, heart rate dropped from 148/92 to 113/75. I also feel like my skin and hair looks healthier.
That's what I'm looking for.. I have Hashimotos and Fibro.. put on 30lbs😡 and can't get it off despite eating well, exercise and supplements. I'm going to give it a try!
I switched to carnivore last month and have found it much easier to control my cravings than Keto as even low carbs can create cravings for carbs and now I have zero interest in eating carbs and in fact my food desires have plummeted to zero and food has become an area of non-interest whereas with Keto I was constantly thinking of how to eat deserts that were Keto.
same here. after stumbling around with healthy keto, carnivore has really propelled me into dealing with my insulin resistance. blood sugars dropped and moderate ketones too. nice.
same here , it's been two days only while on carnivore diet ,but i feel amazing, no stomach discomfort, no bloating ,my mood is elivated. i m doing this for autoimmune as i have hashimatos , and severe ibs , high histamines level . i have chronic hives . i have to heal my leaky gut to resolve all these issues. can you please suggest what food itema can i eat on carnivore diet ??!
Why do these doctors say that Water fasts are fine for 10..20..50 days but a Carnivore diet is not good because a lack of Vitamins? Makes no sense to me.
Because of what Fasting does with the body! Listen to Dr Fung for info. He explains it well. Dr. Berg does, too, in his videos re: Intermittent Fasting. By the way, the physicians and nutrition experts say the same thing (as Dr. Berg) about Carnivore in terms of the need for organ meats in order to get all of the nutrients.
Though I think and know, personally, that keto is great, I experienced no relief of serious and persistent digestive issues on keto. I did keto plus IF and in 9 months I lost 43 pounds. But my gut was not better off. I've been on the carnivore diet for more than 8 weeks, a relatively short amount of time compared to how long I did keto/IF, but the results are impressive! I have come to understand that for me and my personal issues with my gut the carnivore diet is the most healing and makes the most sense. I did have a bit of an intellectual hurdle to overcome: I kept comparing it to keto. I kept thinking about the level of ketosis at any given moment. But quickly realized carnivory is not keto. It's not supposed to be keto or comparable to keto. I found that keto makes one think of ketones almost all the time. That insulin levels are to be controlled at all times. And though ketosis does promote that kind of thinking and hence eating, carnivory is the most liberating thing because ketones bodies are not the driving thought, but rather healing is. I have lost weight on carnivory, but have also added muscle mass. I am stronger. While doing keto I took a probiotic recommended my my doctor everyday. I expected it to help with the issue of the so-called microbiome. I ate all kinds of veggies. Stayed away from all industrial foods and followed keto/IF closely. I did get great weight loss results, but I wouldn't say it healed beyond that. So, though metabolically keto was great, the presence of plants interfered with the healing of my gut. I recommend keto to anyone who wants to improve metabolic issues, like glucose, A1C tests, lipids etc, but for persistent issues I'd say give carnivory a try. The results are impressive. My doctor who is a keto doctor, recommended I stay on carnivory indefinitely. The lab tests prove I am lacking in nothing and hurting nothing. He is not concerned about Vitamin C or potassium at all. Also, my doctor said that an animal based diet will supply ALL the nutrients the body needs including micronutrients because some animals, especially ruminants, are very good at converting all the plant energy/nutrition for us and we eat it in their flesh products, minus the gut issues or any other issue. He recommends people eat their nutrients as opposed to taking supplements. Also, doctor Berg mentioned Vitamin C and potassium, but I don't worry about them at all. In my research, I've heard/read that these nutrients balance themselves out and are met satisfactorily with the carnivore diet. There is Vitamin C in beef liver, pigs liver and even chicken liver. There is potassium in liver, too. I am convinced that what we consider the recommended amounts of nutrients are for the most part overestimated because they are based on a carb heavy eating style. So, the so called daily allowance for Vitamin C and Potassium might be overstated because these are affected in some way by the over consumption of carbs/SAD/factory foods and plant heavy diets.
I still need to lose more weight so I hesitated about starting carnivore until I have done that. The tell you it is not a weight loss diet. It heals your body. I am in FB groups etc. How are you dong weight wise?
I agree. We need to do what works and is right for our particular and personal issues. I am not too enthusiastic about one size fits all types of approaches. We are all on different journeys, where many variables are at play. Age. Gender. Genetics. Overall health. Illnesses. Nutrition. We all are the same on one level due to the fact that we are humans, but we all have different issues. I wish you all the best in your journey !!! :)
I lost more weight on carnivory. I had come to a place where my body didn't want me to lose any more weight while on keto and even though I did IF, it fought me to stay where I was. But as soon as I switched to carnivory I lost 7 more pounds the first 4 weeks. The second four weeks were very different: I lost in size around my waist and other areas, but gained more muscles. So I weighted more but looked thinner! I am happy with that exchange, because as I age (58 now) I want to add more muscle. I like what doctor Ted Naiman says: "Muscle is the 'organ' of longevity." I do resistance training twice a week, and HIIT twice a week. I not only look thinner, but I am stronger!
Don't forget, RDA's aren't really based on science. They're rough estimates for people that eat wheat and shitloads of carbs. What's the most hilarious, if you follow the food pyramid it's actually impossible to meet all RDA's. Unless you're way over the required kcals ofcourse.
marleymusic217 you know what's more hilarious than that? your potassium RDA actually increases if you eat less carbs. also its actually quite easy to meet all RDA's. Today I achieved that with only consuming 1011 kcals.
I followed the Dr Eric Berg version of Keto for a year(7 cups of veggies and small amounts of protien, heavy on plant fats) and saw big improvements in inflammation, weight loss, and mood improvements, but i was TOO skinny and couldn't build muscle or strength. Started Carnivore and saw after one month saw HUGE improvements in muscle body composition(abs for first time in life!), strength, recovery from workouts and work, lingering chronic joint pain COMPLETELY dissapeared! It TURBOCHARGED Keto, I love it so much it's now been 9 months, and STILL gaining power and strength! I have found, Dr. Berg, that vegetables are NOT necessary, NOT essential, and NOT optimal. Good day😎
Carnivore has changed my life, been on it for one month now. I used IF to go from 392 to 259 (weighed recently) towards the end I did keto but since doing carnivore the last thirty days, I can totally tell the difference. I’m also MUCH stronger now than 30 days ago
same for me and actually that comes from a vegetarian for 20 years !!!! saved my life I got back (almost) to my weight and health as when i was 20 ! Iam healthy i have energy ! can ask for more and I dont care what others says.. i go with my own prescription !
@@TheHungarianOak No, I was eating the SAD diet for many years and then a plant based diet for 2 years and that was what put me in the hospital. 5+ years carnivore now and I'm healthier than ever :)
@@TheHungarianOak I had back pain/stiffness from an operation in 2005. in 2022 that pain/stiffness stopped and it was my carnivore diet. This is the kind of healing I expected from the vegan/plant diet, after that failed I had to try the opposite because I thought that there must be an optimal human diet. I have found it, zero health issues now after 20 years of smoking and standard diet and obesity to name a few other problems.
I'm really glad you touched on the organ meat topic. I feel like it is very important on this "diet" in order to get the nutrients you need. Some other things to remember is to consume things like beef bone stock (for collagen, electrolytes, etc.), and to only eat lean meats sparingly, or with other fatty meats. I try to get everything grass-fed, including butter, milk, eggs (pasture raised), etc. I started about a week ago and I feel like a new person. I'm glad I did my research and started out eating the full spectrum (beef liver, stock, etc.) at the beginning because I feel like that made a big difference in how quickly I was able to start feeling changes. The GI problems I had been struggling with and suffering from for almost a year are gone. Within 2 days, I could walk around all day without my knees hurting. No more bloating whatsoever. It's kinda crazy to think about how much pain I didn't know I was in because of almost constant inflammation before doing this. One thing I will admit though is that the keto flu sucks! lol
Love Dr. Berg, but this is the first weak video I’ve seen. Full disclosure, I’ve been carnivore for 27 days (and have seen amazing benefits) so one could argue bias, but I have 2 issues: 1. “Phytonutrients” is simply the name for nutrients from plants. We get all the nutrients we need from animal products. Don’t get caught up in the fancy nomenclature. As well, look up the term “photochemicals” 2. Vitamin C competes with glucose in the body. If you consume little to no carbs you need very little vitamin C. In some cultures, low vitamin C (read scurvy) was fixed with fresh meat.
NatuHealth No disrespect, but I just had a long conversation with someone explaining human evolution, animal husbandry, living north of the 60th parallel, etc. It turned out he was a young earth creationist who essentially believed that we were all made in our current form with a carrot in our hands. I’m not going down that rabbit hole again. While conventional research tells us that we need plants, cholesterol should be lowered at all costs, and we treat type 2 diabetes with carbs at every meal (reference the ADA who continently claims that it is an incurable disease), we are now leaning that there have been agendas that fuel this research. Correlation is not causation and it has made countless people sick or worse. I will, however, give you a single example of someone who thrives without plants, someone who just assumed he was destined to have digestion and skin problems for life until he stopped eating them. Me.
In a ribeye of 8 oz/ 227 g there is 660 g potassium. Vitamin C : Vitamin C’s role as a cofactor in hydroxylation reactions (transferring a hydroxl group to the amino acids lysine and proline), is what helps make the building blocks of collagen. But meat comes “pre-packaged” with hydroxylysine and hydroxyproline - further bypassing much of the requirement for vitamin C.
@@bhcpp almost all cows are grass fed they just give them extra corn to help fatten them up but they eat grass in a pasture all day and get extra feed at night.
Dark Rose, yeah but you could probably live off of ice cream (since it contains milk) so it is healthy, although it's not ideal, because of the added sugar. Caffeine in coffee is fake energy. It stimulates your body to be awakened (like a drug), but it's not actually nourishing or building your body up.
@@Gym_firebrand I'm 100% Carnivore. My blood pressure is great and all of my lab work comes back excellent. I'm 63 and I'm always given a clean bill of health from my Dr.
I like DR.BERG, but he's wrong about it being difficult to get all the nutrients, its actually very easy, especially with organ meats. also, i have never had better digestion/elimination, much better than keto.
I'm on carnivore and understand about vitamin C. However, what about vitamins E and K, which animal products lack where it's hard to get what is "recommended" for daily consumption. I've tried to research info about this but can't seem to find it. It appears that nuts and seeds provide tons of E but they are also inflammatory being high in omega 6 fatty acids and oxalates. The primary reason I'm on carnivore is for the anti-inflammatory benefits, which plants work against.
I also hear that the more salt you intake the less potassium you need, because when your body is low on salt, it dumps more potassium to keep a balance
Keto doesn't really allow fruits. Dr Eric Berg has never said that you should eat fruits (you are allowed to have some moderate levels of berries tho). Let alone eat fruits for the purpose of getting enough potassium. Also they can deplete your level of nutrients in your body because of the presence of sugar (sugar is not something that we need to provide to our body, doesn't matter whether it's natural or refined). Fruits are high in fructose which is also bad for the body. Potassium is probably depleted in your body to a certain extent if you provide your body sugar (again even if it's natural). But Dr. Berg allows vegetables, seeds and nuts like walnuts and brazilan nuts that give good amount of potassium.
I suffered from digestion problems ever since I was a little girl the doctors used to say it was stress. Many many years later and numerous diets (more like lifestyle dietary changes)I'm finding just three weeks the carnivore diet has helped me already the keto diet and following dr. Berg definitely brought me to this point fine-tuning. And the hardest part of all is really listening to your body who wants to achieve that it'll tell you what it needs
@@Drberg I am doing low fodmap for IBS-C and will try carnivore diet. I am 59, female and have had digestive issues for 40 years. I have done the low carb and it worked for weight loss, but not for constipation. My blood pressure spikes now when digestive issues hit, so I am willing to try something new. I take your gall bladder formula and have just added Betaine. I will begin carnivore diet and report back. thanks and I rave to you to my friends and family!
Update :after 3mo of adding lettuce, celery and limited carrots (for soups) I've had cravings for more fat, bad sleep and bloat. I craved peanuts of all things (niacin?). I'm back to mostly carnivore and sleep and feel much better.. I guess my body better with this.. It's so individual and takes 3 to 6 mos between experimenting
Thank you Dr Berg, im now carnivore, my life has improved totally. i was doing keto but my gut was bad, i was moving from diarrhoea to bloating daily until one of your videos on SIBO suggested to try this diet. Worked like a charm. Thank you
Hi! I have CFS, I had to stop working. I will try this carnivore diet. Could you tell me what exactly did you eat? What kind of meat? Did you eat cheese at all? Any spices? Any processed meat? I will try to eat the same. Thank you!😊
Actually there is Vit C in Beef, been carnivore for just over a year and in the best shape of my life. Think Dr Berg is too invested in his 8-10 cups of vegetables a day that he's been promoting for years,
Did you know vitamin c is heat sensitive? So if you cook the meat, all vitamin c is gone. Maybe that will be helpful and you can supplement with Vit C instead!
I transitioned into a largely carnivore diet and it's healing me even further than just my kale shake keto . I'll go back to a mix of greens and meat later but for now I'm also collagen loading with beef broth and I feel soooooooooooooooooooo much better. Auto immune is going away
I am glad you mentioned the auto immune thing as that is why I started Keto but now I am feeling weak again after 1.5 years on Keto, so thinking of the Carnivore diet short term.
Thankyou for sharing. I’ve been doing Carnivore for 10 months now. Maybe I won’t forever but so far it’s simple, satisfying and for the first time in my life I’m no longer constipated and have easy bowel movements.
Alex the carnivore really? Not even for holidays or birthdays or vacations or special events? I plan to be Carnivore now that I see how simpler it is compared to Keto....but now I can choose when I want to eat...hunger doesn’t rule me...or even knock on my door....I could totally eat a small portion of ice cream without ruining the health for the rest of my life... I wouldn’t mind indulging my taste buds every now and then with Keto foods...I know that it will be a conscious choice....not a craving or directive from nasty gut bacteria lol
UrbanExplorer1000 most likely their body is compromised in some way... there isn’t anything extreme about eating meat ....unless you over do it of course. And of course you are right...different people respond differently to different foods....especially when they go all in without carefully planning things out and monitoring their situation. Don’t mean to sound too sure of myself....I just happen to respond extremely well to an all meat diet so far.... I am still finding ways to make sure my high urea levels don’t impact my health down the line. Cheers!
UrbanExplorer1000 I might consider adding broccoli sprouts into my diet in a couple years...but so far I feel better doing meat only...but I will adjust accordingly by constantly monitoring my health and reading and watching information online... thanks :-)
Moved from keto to carnivore. Couldn’t get rid of swelling and I only ate salads (no dressing) and meat/eggs. Since I’ve cut out the salads my swelling g has gone down. I think it should be taken into account that without carbs our bodies don’t need certain things (like vitamin C) as much
I am on carnivore, this is day 8. ...... Let me tell you my story. I have had no sense of smell for many years. I had had 3 years in a row. major throat infections and afterward everything smelled like rotten medicine. I was throwing everything out because it smelled so bad. Finally realized it was me not the product. Later on no sense of smell at all. .... Day 7 on this diet I realized I had some of my sense of smell back! I could not believe it. I ran around the house smelling everything and still not believing it. I just went and smelled the coffee in the jar......and yes.......I can smell it!!! Yipee... I have other problems so I want to stay on this and see what else I can heal. .......Peggy
You should really go on an interview with Doctor Barry He talks about the positives of the carnivore diet but not the negatives the important details like what you did in this video! That's why I love your content you talk about the positives and negatives the pros and the cons
My diet has consisted of solely meat (mostly red), eggs, some cheese, coffee, and water for the last month. I lift weights twice a week for one hour. In that time I have dropped, as of my last check in, 8% body fat and have strapped on about 7 pounds of muscle. Weight has dropped slightly but body composition is changing. I got some ok results with keto but carnivore is getting me exactly what I want - steady fat loss and building muscle. I do add in some fasting periods as well just because I like how that feels. I'm doing this for at least another month before I add back in any vegetables but do plan on going that route. Overall I feel awesome on this diet and it may just be the thing for me to do but it isn't for everyone. Hope you find what works for you 👍
do you supplment with any d3 and/or k2 at all? For the calcuim from the cheese? Have you tried heavy cream at all? im trying coconut heavy cream because dariy in canada sucks.
it's great you do enough training and not more than needed to do the job what you get in half a year to year is usually optimum beyond which unreasonable effort is needed lol without rational trade-off the key are meals with balanced proteins more than 20grams best is after max 2h after workout of proteins leucine, taurine and creatine is holy trinity threaten me with death but I'm not leaving cheese/milk addiction nor coffee getting some honey from time to time also doesn't make me sugar addict again nor brings any temptation to change ways that I see clear being good for me good luck! consider exploring B1 B12 with B25 complex some people get reborn with that mentally first time benfotiamine made me like on a high, so focused driven and clear minded it's insane and it never repeated hahaha actually can't compare to anything else as I never did any drugs at all, even smoking cigarettes (I guess alco doesn't count) the weird thing is, when you feel optimally, your body is fixed, has everything and then you realise body and mind is two of three if you don't fire start it with the third thing spiritual, life fire, natural urge no idea how to call it machine won't ever get on the top gear despite being fully ready in my case its the feeling I fixed everything like 20 years too late 😂 but it's all excuses and last old bad habits to break maybe atheism doesn't help either haha only seeking truth sparks the fire in eyes but without any particular grand goal in mind it's just fooling around
Allison Reece you have to try for a month or more for your body to adjust. Removing plants I found my teeth to be stronger, better digestion, and less hunger swings. I feel more full and long longer on meat only.
10 days into carnivore and 12lbs lost what else can I say?! I just started and already I'm feeling great! I'm a pacific islander and I looove rice. Since I was born this would be longest time I've gone without rice. Dont crave it that much now. Cheehoo! I'm 5'9" and 232lbs. When I started carnivore. Today is my 10th day and I'm 220lbs. I'm still overweight but I'm moving alot more, my knee pain from injury and overweight doesn't bother me as much as it use to. I use to do track and field in high school and was also active and did well in other sports. Baseball, softball, volleyball, table tennis and boxing. With all these athletic experience and knowledge and I still wasn't motivated enough to lose weight. Because of this I feel like carnivore is a diet cheat or life hack🤣 in that I still can eat a lot and still lose weight. Or so I thought, now I don't eat much simply because I'm not always hungry. In addition I do home projects daily without any running or gym work out and I'm down by 12lbs in 10 days. Ooooh I can't wait to start running. Week end is coming and can't wait also to try my jump shot👊👊👊👍🏻
Exactly I had brought so much of the supplements from dr berg the wheatgrass and veggie solution and the cruciferous pills I have regular stools in the morning and explosive diarrhea in the day times after eating
Dr. Berg, the science behind the nutrients lost from not eating veggies on the Carnivore diet suggests because you're not eating carbs those nutrients lost are not essential! Certain nutrients become essential mainly because of our carb intake! Plus without the carbs from veggies insulin spikes are not raised to high levels from the meat consumed! People who go from Keto to all meat are finding themselves losing the additional weight after coming to a stall on Keto! Zero carb meat diets put you in a greater fat burning state than Keto it seems! Of course still intermittent fasting as well!
@@ratfink9205 fat such as beef fat, dairy fat, oil fat etc paralyses insulin. Protein such as protein from beef, fish, chicken or isolated dairy or vegetable proteins raise insulin more than white sugar. And these are facts!!
Study sometimes is misleading. Proof is in the pudding. Why not read watch and read all the carnivores success stories? That should me be proof enough.
I’ve been struggling with various autoimmune diseases since my childhood. I’m 22 now. Eating a raw meat/raw dairy diet has helped me tremendously. I’m not totally healed and back to normal but I finally feel like I’m on the right track for once
I've never seen a video promoting carnivore that was pushing high protein, it is always high fat. I watch all Dr Bergs videos but I dont think he's quite right on this topic. Doing carnivore does not at all mean consuming large amounts of lean protein.
Even real low carb diet makes me crave carbs and fight being hungry and I can never stay on one or even only 2 meals a day. I went full carnivore and did it not only heal my gut and digestive issues I can easily do one meal a day if I can keep my fat up real high. Which is the only way for me to lose body fat after a year stall on keto.
When I started Healthy Keto I immediately went to only two meals/day. It only took three days & I wasn’t hungry & I didn’t crave anything! I lost 21 kilos in 2,5 months! I’d gained 26 kilos in 10 months without changing anything in my diet or lifestyle & I’d never been overweight before, so I believe it was a hormonal imbalance! I’m forever grateful for Dr. Berg 🙏🏼❣️ 🙂
You don't have to eat too much protein, using fat instead of carbs for energy. Most carnivores know when they have had enough protein as they feel comfortably satisfied. Other carnivore MDs say that higher protein intake is not hard on the kidney and liver as was once taught. As far as vitamin C, carnivores only need nanograms of vitamin C compared to those eating carbohydrate. This is because the glut4 transporter that recognizes vitamin C and moves it into your cells is the same transporter that glucose uses to enter cells. The glucose out-competes the vitamin C. As far as the nutrients in veg and fruit, there are also anti-nutrients, especially oxalates, phytates, and lectins. How do you know what nutrients are able to be absorbed from the veg? I can say that since I cut out veg the constipation, bloating, and gas issues are gone.
I went carnivore 4 years ago and lost 70lbs, 12" from my waist, and my A1C is between 4.8 - 5.1, so I'll keep avoiding carbs. I also cut my grocery bill by about 70%. Eggs, sardines, and ground beef are cheap. I treat myself to salmon and ribeye with the savings from time to time. Here's to your health ✌️😎
Sounds like you’ve opened up a lot to it since making this video. I’ve been pure carnivore for 6 months and it’s the healthiest I’ve ever been at age 40.
A pure carnivore diet with zero vegetables is perfectly safe. Red meat is the only food we need for optimal health. Don't believe me? Don't care. My body runs beautifully as a carnivore. Best health of my life. Carnivore journey 3yr 10m. Not perfect in places but currently committed and couldn't be happier. x x x x
Yes, in first 1-5 years, carni works well but after that your body will start getting acidic and literally you'll kill your kidneys . Also your pre-priandial insulin will rise and one will become pre-diabetic .
I've been strict keto for a year and have found myself naturally gravitating toward carnivore. My natural eating habits have moved to OMAD with that meal being meat heavy, light veg.
@@mrshoni3725 I've been a carnivore for 4 years and 80g (3oz) of protein isn't enough, even for a non-carnivore! I eat around 450g (1lb) a day, or a dozen eggs with butter and salt. I also fast until I'm hungry, usually every 36hrs. I'm never snacking or craving sweets. I lost 70lbs in 90 days and lost 12" from my waist. Please watch Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Jason Fung to learn how to get the proper nutrition for better results 😎
I think the whole "keep protein low" thing is misleading. My definition of a well balanced diet is simply getting your macro right. Let's face it, we all agree that an egg is the perfect food as it has everything a mammal needs to be created, and if we break down the macros an egg works out at about 60% fat, 40% protein 0% carbs... Now take a rib eye steak, it's about 60% fat, 40% protein and 0% carbs... Do you see a pattern here peeps? Think about it...
An interesting observation when I was in Prague for three days - when you go to a restaurant there, the local dishes you find are heavily meat based. I ate twice a day, two course meal which consists of 80% fatty meat and 15% vegetables and 5% grain based (bread) and the portions are huge (almost to a point one can be satisfied with just eating a starter) I am a sucker for local food, so I tried as many local dishes as possible. I was worried that I might put on few kilos right after my trip. When I came home and checked my weight: to my amazement my weight was 0.5kg less than what I was before my trip. I accidentally discovered this carnivore diet and watching and reading people's opinions want me to try this diet (based on my three day eating A LOT OF MEAT)
I tried keto twice and got limited benefits. Once I went carnivore, my skin, digestive, joint pain issues have diminished greatly. It's been 4 months and I'm so grateful I found the carnivore diet. Dr. Berg makes great informative videos and I've been watching his channel since 2019.
Can't speak highly enough about the carnivore diet. And I've heard no issues nor experienced any with vitamin deficiency. No reports of scurvy. I've never had healthier teeth/gums. Skin looks amazing. Inflammation gone. Sharp mental state. I think you should study it more.
I think most people are better off without veggies. Already 1 month carnivore and I'm feeling better than Keto. No bloating and gym performance increased.
VenusXO I learned that the hard way. Messed up my digestion trying to eat 10 cups of greens a day. They are not necessary and only cause problems for healthy people.
cyn both. What set me over the top was extreme abdominal pain from steamed and riced cauliflower. Damn was that dish good but I thought I had an ulcer that day. I've experimented with a little of both but I don't like the bloating and the horrible bowel movements so I eat very little vegetables now.
I think that this is a very interesting concept that can and has shown to work in a lot of cases. Our bodies can adapt to pretty much anything and especially for the short term this takes stress of our digestive systems. I’ve been battling SIBO for the past few months and recently switched to a 90% carnivore diet and have noticed that this has helped greatly
Thanks for sharing. Have you lost wt on 90% carnivore diet. What is the 10% of food you are consuming. I have tried dieting and need to get rid of 30kg but stuck on same wt.
@@sanasingh9928 I actually ended up finding an incredible holistic healing program and that’s been helping me to heal slowly but surely. If you want I can give you the link. But yeah the carnivore diet isn’t sustainable long term although it can help to mitigate symptoms in the short term
@@royadp347 Victor Cozzetto is my main naturopath who has been helping me amongst some others and my own research. Plus I talk about a lot of this stuff on my other RUclips channel called “Jared and James”
I did meat and water for almost three years and wish now that I had stayed on it. I disliked the organ meats but I just ate them anyway and after a few weeks it was not so bad. I did worry about potassium so I used "Lite Salt". Eventually I added a salad to my meals "for variety" and that led to a long relapse. For me it was about cold turkey and complete abstinence from my drug of choice, carbohydrates. I'm accomplishing that now with Paleo/Keto and extended IF, but I think it was easier with the Carnivore Diet.
Same here. Any carbs brings more cravings for nuts and veggies. But if I just eat a meal of fatty meat I'm good all day long. I too had low potassium and use Nu-salt but it's also an imbalance with sodium so I have to go easy on the salt. I believe it's about balancing them not large quantities as people always push.
I appreciate the careful way Dr Berg is approaching this video - very respectful. Since 1 month carnivore and I have never felt better. I do eat 3 Brazil nuts a day for selenium, which isn’t carnivore but who cares. I drink lemon water and that brings me vitamin c. Overall my hair isn’t falling, nails and skin looking good, a complete peace of mind and not any stress buying many ingredients for cooking. After the second week i absolutely and ultimately felt no need for sugars or carbs. This is truly insane for me. It is very relaxing 😌 one month in, went really really quickly. I will go for the 60 days and see where it leads me. I want to lose body fat, so there is a long term journey. So far the carnivore brought me peace of mind, some small body composition changes. Now that I am fat adapted is time to hit the gym and fasting for fat loss. Overall if anyone is curious about trying go for it! Check Dr Ken Berry video on how to get started. Much love ❤

I am a pharmacist on the carnivore diet and it has saved my life!!! I have a medical condition called aveolar hemorrhaging (my lungs bleed) and a genetic clotting disorder so I have had over 10 blood clots, so I have dealt with a lot. I am so much healthier than I was eating "normally", and I no longer even consider myself terminal. Also, it's just potassium, salt, and magnesium you need to supplement with, and in rare meat you DO get vitamin C from the vegetables the animal has eaten, so I thought I would let you know about that. I have eaten this way for over two years, and most symptoms I deal with now are related to the meds they gave me for years (like high dose steroids, yuck!), not my actual illness. I am so angry not one dr asked me how I ate, and even what they gave us in the hospital to eat. (wheat, carbs, etc.) My primary dr went from thinking I was crazy for trying this diet out to, six months later, being shocked at my improvement in health and telling me "to keep doing whatever I was doing." I am also very frustrated they didn't educate us better about good and health in pharmacy school, same in medical school I believe, and it hasn't improved at all. My daughter is a pharmacist and learned the same things about food when she was in pharmacy school. "the pyramid diet"
What type of genetic clotting disorder do you have? I have factor 5 Lieden and am wondering if you've notice blood clots less often? I've had 3 major DVTs and as a result have vascular damage as well as being on xerelto for life. I'm curious about keto/carnivore but have only begun reducing carbs not cutting them.
Keto helped me lose weight and regain health...but carnivore put me over the top. I am stronger and healthier, and just couldn't get "next level" on keto macros. I eat no vegetables whatsoever. Just red meat, grass fed butter and water
Siobhan, yes I no longer eat a veggie of any sort. I occasionally eat a handful of pistachios and maybe an avocado once a month. My carbs are less than 5-10 total a day. I have a keto friendly MD, and have quarterly bloodwork done (annual now as I am so healthy) My last micro panel showed virtually no deficiencies. I have a CIMT scan done regularly and each one, my arterial thickness improves
I have heard of people with cancer going into remission because this diet doesn't feed the cancer cells. I agree with Dr. Berg, adding veggies would be healthier.
All I know is that I ate a low carb diet for over a year and still had digestive issues and muscle and joint pain. Within TWO days eating only carnivore, my muscle pain decreased 80-90%, and has continued to improve. My abdominal bloat and pain is gone, and I am now sleeping through the night. The proof, as the say, is in the eating. Maybe at some point I might be able to add vegetables back into my diet, but after hearing Mikhaila Peterson's, Kelly Hogan's, and Amber O' Hearn's stories, I may not. They all have been carnivore for many years with no ill effects .
I always knocked carnivore,,then through keto tried a week here and there on just meats and found it works like a reset button,is getting rid of bloating which I get from too much salad,,,thanks for a great vid,,,
At Khan: Me too. More than 5 cups of baby greens and I'm suffering. With carnivore my belly is flatter than it's ever been. Slowly working my veggies back in though.
Cheers for the feedback,,,some folk do bloat with veg or salad same as some do with milk,,,,and yes I have started with apple cider vinegar and find it helps,,,have a great weekend,,,
I ate ALL the right prebiotics and probiotics and thought carnivore was crazy but I tried it and it's amazing. All my digestive issues that came from eating all the unnecessary vegetables went away. I feel best with zero vegetables and fiber.
I’ve done the standard American diet, the vegetarian diet, the more “balanced” Mediterranean diet, keto, and carnivore. I’d say any diet is better than a fast food, ultra processed diet… however… I’ve never felt better than eating a meat based, carnivore diet. Digestion (no gas, bloating, constipation, or frequent stinky bowels) is remarkably better. Inflammation in the joints is non-existent. Mental health is superior, less anxiety, depression and better mental clarity. My energy is sustainable and overall well-being is just, better. And I hear the same from so many people. Our bodies are built to thrive through eating animal products. I
Unfortunately most Inuit now eat a mostly western diet with some traditional foods mixed in.Refined Carbs and sugar are even worse for Indigenous people than they are for the rest of us. Especially Inuit people.
I am trying carnivore diet now. But one thing to caution about mentioning certain group of people. You need to understand about "evolving" and that is a long process. People around the globe may have different bacteria in their guts that allow them to break down different foods
Read> “The Eskimo Myth” Written By Michael Greger M.D. FACLM • July 12, 2018 "The totality of evidence from actual clinical investigations, autopsies, and imaging techniques is that they have the same plague of coronary artery disease that non-Eskimo populations have, and the Eskimo actually have twice the fatal stroke rate and don’t live particularly long."
I just listened to Drs Berry and Saladino on the carnivore diet featuring the latter's new book "The Carnivore Code". I am going to stay on Keto which I discovered through your channel in March 2019. I lost 17 lbs in 6 months and brought down my fasting blood sugar from 6.3 to 5.1. And I'm on OMAD. Thank you for your in-depth research on Nutrition and your passion to share it with lay people like me.
I was on keto and it worked ok for me. But it made eating the worst part of my day. I had to supplement sooo much I keto as well. Now I am on carnivore and have way more energy. It literally improved every part of my mind and body. Also, I have never met someone who did keto and carnivore that said keto was better. Everyone on carnivore said that they had way more energy and didn’t get that tired feeling after eating.
Thanks Doc. In the past I tried high protein diet (mostly beef, little else) due to food allergies. I got MUCH healthier with almost no effort or difficulties in food prep. Simply worded: **Avoidance* (of horrid additives & horrid processing practices that is wildly common in today's food markets) is fast, simple and EASY (which is vital for people with "brain fog") I have since then learned how to eat well without effort (meats eggs & salads, mainly via Green Smoothies.) p.s. That is also when I learned how WILDLY positive fasting is. I was fasting once a week for 36 hours, and once a month for several days up to 8 days continuously.
My health was seriously going downhill after menopause. And after retiring on a very small pension my diet was reduced to poverty food like beans and rice most days. I had so many aches and pains I thought, is this what the rest of my life is going to be like? I knew I had to make changes but it had to be something I could afford. So, in an effort to change the downward trajectory of my health, and quality of life, I decided to actively pursue information on improving my diet. I was following the high veg, low fat diet we all learned for most of my days. But, since then, I have learned so much more about nutrition and why my health was deteriorating. So, over the span of the last four years I went from vegetarian, to ovo lacto pescatarian, to Ketogenic, to Ketovore ,to full carnivore for the past 5 months. I lost 65lbs and look and feel great. All inflammation is gone. All blood tests normalized- except ldl. More energy, stronger, younger looking, no more pre-diabetic, no liver enzyme issues, no more brain fog, no more inflammation, and I’m near my goal weight. I eliminated vegetable induced bloat and the constipation I suffered with for a lifetime. It will be a great day when the data catches up to the benefits of low carb diets and doctors get educated on diet based remedies verses the pills Big Pharma bribes them to push on their patients. Good luck, my friends!
I have experienced the same & more. Arthritic pain in index fingers....gone. Brain fog....gone. Sleep.....great Tonsils....clear & no inflamation. Post menopausal weight....loosing steadily. It's only been 2 weeks since starting carnivore.
Lost 13 lbs in 2 mos on strict carnivore, but had my first salad with pork shoulder last night. Why was I so happy to have a salad y'all? I felt energized and just having that variety made me feel good. It did produce more mucus I noticed but besides that, I think I'm adding back veggies, at least salads for now because my body is asking for this and it's not cake.
Nah, haven’t had any problems so far. I’m doing this for a year. Let you know next year. Been eating carnivore for nearly three weeks. I just allowed myself to eat when hungry which was eating two meals a day. I’m now, as of today down to omad. This transition happened with no hunger whatsoever. That has been very freeing. I have no body odour when I sweat and I can smell smells very acutely which is interesting! My energy is so much better and even all day. I don’t weigh myself and that is one of the reasons following this diet. The main reason though is to address my chronic indigestion. It was fine if I only ate Omad, but I would energy for only half a day. That’s a huge plus, having even energy on this diet. I’m no longer hangry or desperate to eat my one meal. At 72, my health is important because I do not trust the medical profession now with this covid nonsense and I’m in perpetual lockdown here in NewZealand at the moment, so I have to be healthy. Not too worried here on my farm where we raise our own cattle and sheep and have a huge area to ride over. Oh, that’s another thing. I was losing confidence in riding my horses, but I now feel a whole lot stronger and more confident , so riding is my exercise!
I am on my 8 th week of carnivore now , and feeling great , before ı was eating Keto , and I used to have headaches 2-3 times in a week , but on carnivore I did not have any headache in 8 weeks ! And my energy level is better more stable
The message of the video is that the carnivore diet works only for a few specific cases and should not be used by everyone. It also must be in moderation. Keto + fasting is always better.
I eat steak, eggs, bacon, prime rib burger patties and 2-3 kale shakes a week and I fell AMAZING.. I can’t do a lot of veg because of the bloating. I feel amazing on the carnivore diet. I road bike and mountain bike 140 km / week .. i NEVER get hungry or thirsty on my rides. I get no cravings or energy drops on the carnivore diet.
Been on Keto nearly one year, was great and lost a lot of weight, but I feel a bit weaker on it. I might try the carnivore diet and see how I feel. Plus I love meat
Digestion is my achilles heel. I had the best, easiest bowel movements of my life on the carnivore diet, which I did for about two weeks. I was not careful enough when I came off it, and now my digestive system is really wonky. I will likely go back to carnivore, making sure to include beef liver this time, and stick with small portions. And a couple of times a week, I might try adding fresh veg juice and/or cruciferous veg. One concern I have is that my pancreas and liver are weak, I think, so have to be careful not to overload with protein and animal fat. Tricky.
Boiled Eggs with Yolk and Lamb/Beef Liver are the Heathiest. They give you nearly 80% of micronutrients in few serves. So have a bunch of soft boiled eggs and small portions of lamb/beef liver atleast 4-5 times a week.
I love Dr. Berg because six years later, his opinions about the carnivore diet have changed drastically and he is not afraid to admit it, and teach us about why, including his personal experiences and all the latest research that supports it. There are only a few practitioners on social media that have the integrity and humbleness to admit they might have been wrong, and actually help educate us to be the best we can be. God bless you Dr. Berg!!
Anyone else think Dr. Berg should do a video with Dr. Berry?
And with Saladino.
That is so weird. I was just thinking today the 2 of them together should go on Joe Rogan then I see this video and your comment. A year later.🤣

I am 50 years old. Started keto and intermittent fasting in Sept .I quickly switched to carnivore
. Started with a 12.3 A1C, high blood pressure, morbid obesity with a weight of 361. Today I take no medication and have perfect blood pressure, a 4.9 A1C, and I am down to 268. I am starting to work out this week.I have mental clarity, increased energy and drive.
wow great stuff - 4 months for these results?
Way to go, Joe. Rooting for you, brother.
Sweet!
I had a stent put in and it drove me to this. I knew about it, but I wasn’t listening, but when you have a life-threatening thing like that, there is no going back to regular food awesome testimony, dude.
Did you have the runs when you started? How long did it last?
Been carnivore for 6 weeks coming from 4 months keto. Feel amazing since switching over. No more bloating and constipation. More energy , better mood and I feel stronger and body comp changing. Not knocking keto cause it brought me to carnivore but I've had significant changes in a short period.
I heard that some are still in ketosis when doing carnivore. Maybe you're still in ketosis? I have been considering doing a 30 day trial myself.
I check ketones once per week I'm still in ketosis.
Hey Joe, it is probably because you have had GI issues like Dr. Berg said. Your body couldnt handle the keto and the carnivore diet feels better on your system. He said you should do carnivore diet for short term to heal your GI tract, but eventually you should go back to eating vegetables so you can get all the nutrients you need to thrive on.
Cole Do you know about goitrogens and nightshades?
sandy smith Inflicting opinions on another isn't how to give advice. Still respect them.
I find fascinating that you can eat pizza, ramen noodles and soda every day and no one will raise an eyebrow but if you eat a steak every day you'll get the whole town giving you advice against what you're doing.

I am 35 years old 5'7 and about 11 months or so ago I was 235 pounds. I have always had a stocky build but, the excess fat became very noticeable. I dove right into strict carnivore for a solid 3 months and the results were beyond my expectations. After the 3 months I allowed myself a cheat day once a month but, still was mindful of what I was eating. After another 2 months I added mushrooms and jalapeno (my two favorite "vegetables,") into the diet plan and shortly after blueberries. After a total of 8 months of the diet I was down to 168 and looking very lean. The thing about carnivore is, it was just so easy for me and I enjoyed all the benefits from it so I didn't feel like I was dieting and still don't. My sleep got better, blood pressure went down, I have high energy which I was lacking for... years, no anxiety, and my depression while comes and goes, is no where near what it used to be (I believe everyone has depression to some extent) I have never done keto but, If you read this comment and are questioning the keto/carnivore diet, it does work! at least for me it did. I would HIGHLY suggest simply cutting out sugar of any kind from your diet as a start. I had no idea how much sugar was affecting my life and now almost a year in, I have been sugar free the whole time and my blood work looks picture perfect! Every journey starts with the first step. Once you get rolling, nothing can stop you but yourself!
The reason why Americans feel so much better on carnivore is that most stuff Americans eat is complete junk. So when they switch to carnivore it unintendedly works a bit like a detox. Most things you buy in america are ultra processed sugars and refined carbs. People who move to for example Italy cant believe how much healthier even "fast foods" are here
I went on Keto for 6 months. Had a little weight lose and sleep improved a little also but asthma was becoming worse and cravings for bread and pasta were almost consuming me. Included intermittent fasting for another 3 months and only thing different was a boost in daily energy. Tried carnivore on a 30 day dare and felt great almost immediately so I am hooked.
How are you doing now? I've just started carnivore myself.......
@tbeau6663 and how are doing
I would love an update from you. Are you still on the diet and how is your asthma now?
Been on keto for 6 months and not a single response in weight loss, muscle maintenance, dark circles around my eyes or GI issues. I was beginning to think I'm just not meant to get better....then I went carnivore (my dream nutrition as I am a lifelong fan of all kinds of flesh) and in 2 weeks:
I lost 4kg, (and 7cm around my waist and boobs)
Have NO bloating after eating
My skin is clear
I feel like I can pick up a MAC truck!
Reality speaks louder than idealism doesn't it...
I am gaining :( Been keto and Carnivore since Christmas. I am so sad. What do u eat?
I gained 30 pounds from keto in 6 months, it was clean keto, 1200 calories , I went back to Mediterranean diet I lost the weight
. It’s not for everyone, I prefer low fat , high protein diet to burn off the fat I already have. And healthy carbs I love vegetables and helps with my mood so much .
@@Charles.Wright
Figured it out and went Carnivore 👍
@@raniaqueen110 @NutritionwithJudy "How Much to Eat on a Carnivore Diet (for Hormones and Thyroid): Macros, Calories, Protein & Fats."
I don't think 1200 calories is providing your body proper nutrition and it may actually be starving. If you watch the video above Judy provides a chart that shows everyone over 8 y/o need more than that. Be careful eating low fat, the body requires fat to operate properly. I eat high fat medium protein and am struggling to gain the weight I lost when I went carnivore. If you research carnivore a little you'll find out that lean meat is unhealthy and fatty meat is healthy.
It would be interesting to get an update from Dr. Berg on this issue four years later. Much has been learned.
Dr Berg?
exactly what i thought... this is a big topic and i think dr berg should make a video...x
Yes! From what I’m hearing, deficiencies aren’t an issue….
@@FocusingOnChrist Just remember..."Nose to Tail". I don't like liver so I take desiccated liver capsules. Gristle and tendon and other connective tissues are important. Brain and other organs are also important.
I agree
I've only been carnivore since Mother's Day, so just a couple weeks, but I am amazed by the changes! I have been battling digestive issues for several years and nothing really seemed to work. I poo-pood carnivore for a while because I could not imagine eating just meat, especially red meat. But after reading reviews of those living it especially in regards to digestive issues, I said, I gotta try this. My stomach has not been this quiet in years!!! No gas, bloating, heaviness in the abdominal area, no constipation or diarrhea, fatigue has totally lifted, sleeping incredibly well, not hungry hardly ever, no cravings, and I actually want water now!!! I swear, I HATED water and would rarely drink it unless it had to be in something like coffee or tea...now I love it!!! It tastes so good now! That has really blown my mind. I can tell I've lost weight but haven't weighed myself yet but I can just feel it in my body and see it. I would never have believed this was possible. I don't even miss veggies and fruit and I loved all of that. I eat burgers, steak (wagyu because I totally ruin anything else), chicken, salmon, eggs and mackeral (love it). Haven't done any organ meats really but I may. I don't know if I will add veggies and fruits back but I'll probably try down the road just to see, but I don't miss any of it. Cutting carbs worked well but this carnivore thing is simply amazing. So glad that I gave it a try and much easier for me than trying to eat 7-10 cups of veggies...ain't gonna happen. Not for everyone, no doubt, but it's good to have options like this. Dr. Berg is definitely a good doctor, but there is no one thing for everyone...the results that we are getting prove that.
Try liver. It’s the best
Don't eat too much liver , it's very nutritious, but watch you iron.
Too much iron leads to many serious problems.
Just calculate how is the proportion of liver weight to whole carcass, that's your intake ratio of liver
@@borispetkau1246 I just read that it isn’t possible to overload on iron on natural foods. It can just be dangerous with supplements
@@johannaj2009 that’s not true. You can get iron overload from eating too much liver and other foods.
@@JenniferManning-yb2nm ok
I'm glad you said "Not for everyone" because for some people the carnivore diet has been a miracle!

@@ruthboaz3984 I agree. I am blood type O and I thrive on lots of meat and lower on the veggies. Everything turned around for me following the type O diet. It’s essentially keto. My primary diet is meat and sauerkraut
@@brandonlee106 Im O- and the carnivore diet has been making me nautious. I can barely look at an egg and I used to love them. Going back to Dr Bergs original diet. I did well on that 2 yrs ago. Esp since Im prone to kidney stones.
@@brandonlee106 I am blood type A+ and just got diagnosed with hashimoto's. Can I do carnivore?
Been intermittent fasting for over 2 years and feeling great with that. Carnivore is healing me more than keto or any other healthy diet I've tried. I have IBS for 29 years, and within my first two weeks on carnivore I have no more bloating, no more stomach pain, and my joints are hurting much less, as well as other improvements I'm seeing. I have more energy and I sleep better. I believe the carnivore diet is better for some, maybe not all, people. But our ancestors ate like this when meat was plentiful and maybe did a paleo type or keto type diet when meat was more scarce. I do throw in a big green salad a few times a week because I enjoy salad, but the majority diet is now eggs, bacon, butter, beef (mostly), chicken, and salmon. We actually do get a lot of nutrients from meats, because the animal ate the plants that had the nutrients in them, and the animal processed (broke down) those nutrients for us, making it even easier for us to absorb them, which is a big positive. Keto is good, but I've personally found carnivore better. Feel better over all.
Anyone who wants to learn more about carnivore, check out Dr. Ken D Berry's YT channel. ;)
Yeah but you have to make sure that the animal fat is grass fed grass finished cause if its no its gonna have to much omega 6 it's gonna increase estrogen cause they feeding the cow corn and soy
Thanks for the story and info!
Only if it's grass fed and wild caught - did the animal consume "good stuff".
90% of people can only afford and just are - eating grain fed meat and even fish (farmed).
Meat today, is not what it was. Period. So the way our ancestors are is null and void. The meat they hunted and the meat we buy is like comparing apples to oranges.
My breakfast today was a two egg omelette with half a red onion (raw) a clove of garlic (raw) all chopped and sprinkled on top before folding the egg. A sprinkle of turmeric. A handful of coriander (cilantro), half an avo with apple cider vinegar and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for all the b vitamins naturally. Egg fried in a LITTLE butter.
A little bit of goodness from lots of things.
The only difference between "keto" and "carnivore" is that keto allows all the greens. Not much difference.
I aim for 45g of protein a day. That's 200g of meat in total. And if I'm not feeling for meat (it gets boring very fast) I may just eat avos / eggs and salad for a few days.
If I'm feeling lazy - and all there is is a tin or sardines - that may be all I eat in a day. We are not robots. Days differ.
I could very easily eat fish and shellfish and never get bored. But that would be dumb. Because fish and shelfish are full of heavy metals. Moderation. Again.
Each to their own.
It's a waste of breath of a debate. 10 million carnivores swear by the carnivore way. 10 million vegans swear by the vegan way. 10 million pescatarians swear by their way. They ALL claim to feel better.
They are all speaking from experience.
As omnivores, we should eat as such. In my opinion.
Just wondering how do people let go of veggies (and fruit) when we could argue they are made by God, so how can they be bad for us? Just curious
@@sasha857 That's a good question. However, the fruits and veggies God created in the beginning of creation were perfect, before mankind sinned. Afterward, as part of punishment, God told Adam and that mankind would now have to till the ground by the dust of their brow (hard work) to get the fields to yield food. In the garden fruit had grown on its own and was readily available to them before the fall of mankind and curse of creation because of sin. In the past several hundred years fruits and vegetables have been cultivated by humans to be bigger and to produce higher yield. In the past 100 years the purpose of this is mainly linked to profits. Big Food corps, big Ag, they make billions off us all. Fruit is now bigger and contains more sugar, and sugar is addicting, making us want more, and so we go back to buy more of these cultivated fruits. As veggies have also been cultivated to be bigger and yield more produce, thte plants have adapted to produce more toxins, which are harmful to the human microbiome, among other parts of the body. Many animals are able to handle these toxins as their GI systems are different from ours. Cows break down the plants and toxins, because they have four stomachs, which then makes their meat safe for us to eat. They break it down for us. God made their systems able to handle the plants so that we don't have to. There is a subtance in almonds, and other nuts and seeds, called amygdaline. It turns into cyanide in the small intestine of humans. For some it is more toxic at lower levels, which means not a lot of almonds need to be eaten to reach toxic levels of amygdaline. I hope this helps a bit.
I've been carnivore since 2015 and for me it's noticeably better than traditional keto. I overall love your videos but I had a few reactions to this one specifically. As for vitamin C, most all meat has some vitamin C, and chicken liver has a lot of vitamin C. When you stop eating plants/carbs you don't need nearly as much vitamin C so meat has more than you need. As for potassium, bacon has 170% more potassium than bananas, so potassium is definitely not lacking on a carnivore diet. Also grass fed meat contains phytonutrients, so that also isn't lacking on carnivore. As for high protein vs fat, it's very easy to make carnivore high fat moderate protein. Pork belly, for instance, has 53 grams of fat and only 9 grams of protein per 100 gram serving.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm starting to transition into a carnivore diet and it's good to see more people talk about how healthy it is.
You're going to die no later than 68, and will also scoff at this comment. Have fun being a carnivore
Additionally darcy, the carnivore diet fails to acknowledge that natural carnivores consume the stomache content of majority herbivores.
They get the vegetables and nutrients from animals that eat vegetables.
god people how dumb can you be
Eskimos are evolved carnivores.
Their bodies have adapted to their diet.
And their lifespan is on average 40 to 45 years old.
Think about that you nonce
this is interesting, it is hard for me to handle emotionally, it seems so extreme, and i have not had liver and onions in Decades and again i do not think i can handle it emotionally. Dr Bergs comment that he thinks a wider variety of nutrients with vegetables seems better and that just seems sort of - the thing speaks for itself. Also his comment it might be good for some people for show periods for specific Reasons seems reasonable. Your comment that you have been on it since 2015 is amazing. i just bought a whole bunch of meat but , i am not sure. Dr Lustig says , maybe the Heme in red meat is oxidizing and the is the problem. I am not going to go Vegan , either that seems so extreme , cheeseless pizza no. But right keto no pizza.
slow deep breaths , but really just meat since 2015 , really? i find it hard to imagine " eat your vegetables dear" how could your Grand Mother be wrong?
Carnivore diet is awesome, zero bloating, gas, allergies, inflammation, etc.
Tam Great yes!
I am a few weeks into mostly carnivore; about 90% carnivore. Not congested every single morning, lost 6 lbs. I am not tired all of the time, more energy, and today I had someone with a lit cigarette walk by and did not have an asthma attack 😂😂I can't tell you how awesome that was; I have had my asthma triggered from smoke residue on someone's clothing in the past, so this was a big carnivore induced health perk.

I've been cycling back and forth between nutritional keto and carnivore now for 6-7 months and the results speak for themselves. I started at 401.6lbs in Dec 2017 and as of this morning Aug 11, 2018 I'm 268.4lbs and still going. I've set a goal of 200lbs by Xmas 2018 and have every intention of getting there. Carnivory works well and can help find the issues of gut health that a wide swath of foods will prevent. An elimination diet based in carnivory with added foods as you confirm your tolerance will only help over time.
Also, studies are showing that vit C is really only needed by the body to assist in digestion of fibrous foods and in red meats the vit C content is more than adequate on it's own without the need for supplementation.
WireHedd - Congratulations! I'm working a dietary path of getting off my diabetic meds. I find I am much more satisfied without the carbs and can fast for amazing lengths of time. (Not over 3 day's fasting, but as you say cycling between keto, carnivore, and fasting)
WireHedd, wow, congratulations on your success. I wish you the best in reaching your goal.
Well done! Interesting comment
Thank you and keep at it and you can get free of a lot of medications that simply are not needed with healthy eating. I also do IF/OMAD in conjunction with my carni-keto WOE.

Dr Berg I stalled for months on clean keto and intermittent fasting. I started strict carnivore 3 weeks ago and have begun losing weight and inches around my stubborn mid section. My plan was 30 days and revisit. I feel great and am hopeful once again. I believe I can give up dairy and lectins forever now. Carnivore is like a reset - extreme elimination.

@@flipurtopeggs are not dairy, but yeah, ive been doing meat, eggs, and butter. would do cheese if i could easily find some without additives in it. still new to carnivore.

I can’t wait to try Carnivore, I’ve been fat adapted for the past year and it has been life changing. I still have problems with my Gut. I wonder if a week of carnivore would give me substantial results
@@yapsonark407 I recommend a minimum of one month.
Carnivore diet really improved my health. I don't have to eat large quantities of proteins because i do OMAD.
The problem i had on Keto was mixing vegetables and animal proteins. When i eat either of those independently, i am fine.
But when i mix them, i gradually get bloating and serious inflammation with time and also with high levels of insulin and low energy.
It seems that some people microbiome lacks the flexibility to digest both groups of food simultaneously.
Me too .. I don’t like mixing meat and vegetables.. feel very bloated
You might like a book called Fit For Life, there's 2 books, Fit for Life 1& Fit for Life 2. It talks a lot about food combining, and how eating certain foods away from other foods puts less stress on the digestive tract. Eg it says to eat fruits on their own away from all other foods, as breaking down fruit sugars is a completely different process to breaking down the proteins in meat. When I followed their eating suggestions (they're very loose suggestions) I felt the healthiest I have ever been in my life. I left out grains as I don't like the gluten in most grains (it makes me feel phlegmy, can't be good for me if it does that). It was written in the days before Keto and Carnivore became the new trend. Raw food for their live enzymes to heal the gut.
I remember back in the day they were very cheap books and easy to read. You can either eat meat with it or go vegan and leave it out. Up to you. But I never had any GI issues when I ate fruit the way they taught. Food for thought.
PS. There's a very interesting chapter in book 2 on sunlight and regular sunbaking which I've never forgotten. About melanin receptor cells taking 3 days to open/close as they adjust to the level of incoming light/uv, explaining why you absolutely will fry your skin with UV rays if you sunbake once a week as opposed to regularly everyday. It's fascinating, that chapter. Worth the price of the whole book.
I just sent in my "success" story. I turn 30 this month and thanks to you and Thomas DeLauer I will be turning 30 in the best shape of my life. Thank you again.
Went carnivore almost a year ago and feel awesome. I’m a licensed nutritional counselor in Wisconsin and for 10 years I ate 90-100% organic food and took a lot of supplements. I consistently felt worse and worse.
My joints were killing me, chronic digestive disorders, allergies, asthma and horrible skin.
ALL of those issues are now gone.
We don’t need vegetation. Plant life is naturally full of chemicals that are toxic. Also, plants don’t contain actual vitamins as we’ve been led to believe. Plants have precursors to vitamins.
Fiber is another awful product that will destroy your digestion.
NatuHealth wrong! Plants don’t want to give up their nutrients. You’re not absorbing all those phyto chemicals. Plants have precursors not the actual vitamins. Big difference. More taxing on the liver. You don’t need fiber for the gut bacteria. That’ll cause overgrowth. Fasting is best thing for gut flora.
NatuHealth you don’t know what you’re talking about. How can people thrive without plants or fiber then???
All plants have toxins and they’re primarily just modified from two different plant species to make them even semi digestible. Fool
wrong!! early death??? LOL! So dumb. You're all dogma.
This is not the first anecdotal story that says the pure or near plant based diets have serious consequences for your health.
NatuHealth no one is interested in your cherry picked cohort studies that don’t actually read or understand how the research is done. Fool

I switched to carnivore last month and have found it much easier to control my cravings than Keto as even low carbs can create cravings for carbs and now I have zero interest in eating carbs and in fact my food desires have plummeted to zero and food has become an area of non-interest whereas with Keto I was constantly thinking of how to eat deserts that were Keto.

I'll ask my local butcher for this!
Why do these doctors say that Water fasts are fine for 10..20..50 days but a Carnivore diet is not good because a lack of Vitamins?
Makes no sense to me.
Because of what Fasting does with the body! Listen to Dr Fung for info. He explains it well. Dr. Berg does, too, in his videos re: Intermittent Fasting. By the way, the physicians and nutrition experts say the same thing (as Dr. Berg) about Carnivore in terms of the need for organ meats in order to get all of the nutrients.
Though I think and know, personally, that keto is great, I experienced no relief of serious and persistent digestive issues on keto. I did keto plus IF and in 9 months I lost 43 pounds. But my gut was not better off. I've been on the carnivore diet for more than 8 weeks, a relatively short amount of time compared to how long I did keto/IF, but the results are impressive! I have come to understand that for me and my personal issues with my gut the carnivore diet is the most healing and makes the most sense.
I did have a bit of an intellectual hurdle to overcome: I kept comparing it to keto. I kept thinking about the level of ketosis at any given moment. But quickly realized carnivory is not keto. It's not supposed to be keto or comparable to keto. I found that keto makes one think of ketones almost all the time. That insulin levels are to be controlled at all times. And though ketosis does promote that kind of thinking and hence eating, carnivory is the most liberating thing because ketones bodies are not the driving thought, but rather healing is. I have lost weight on carnivory, but have also added muscle mass. I am stronger.
While doing keto I took a probiotic recommended my my doctor everyday. I expected it to help with the issue of the so-called microbiome. I ate all kinds of veggies. Stayed away from all industrial foods and followed keto/IF closely. I did get great weight loss results, but I wouldn't say it healed beyond that. So, though metabolically keto was great, the presence of plants interfered with the healing of my gut.
I recommend keto to anyone who wants to improve metabolic issues, like glucose, A1C tests, lipids etc, but for persistent issues I'd say give carnivory a try. The results are impressive.
My doctor who is a keto doctor, recommended I stay on carnivory indefinitely. The lab tests prove I am lacking in nothing and hurting nothing. He is not concerned about Vitamin C or potassium at all. Also, my doctor said that an animal based diet will supply ALL the nutrients the body needs including micronutrients because some animals, especially ruminants, are very good at converting all the plant energy/nutrition for us and we eat it in their flesh products, minus the gut issues or any other issue. He recommends people eat their nutrients as opposed to taking supplements.
Also, doctor Berg mentioned Vitamin C and potassium, but I don't worry about them at all. In my research, I've heard/read that these nutrients balance themselves out and are met satisfactorily with the carnivore diet. There is Vitamin C in beef liver, pigs liver and even chicken liver. There is potassium in liver, too. I am convinced that what we consider the recommended amounts of nutrients are for the most part overestimated because they are based on a carb heavy eating style. So, the so called daily allowance for Vitamin C and Potassium might be overstated because these are affected in some way by the over consumption of carbs/SAD/factory foods and plant heavy diets.
I still need to lose more weight so I hesitated about starting carnivore until I have done that. The tell you it is not a weight loss diet. It heals your body. I am in FB groups etc. How are you dong weight wise?
I agree. We need to do what works and is right for our particular and personal issues. I am not too enthusiastic about one size fits all types of approaches. We are all on different journeys, where many variables are at play. Age. Gender. Genetics. Overall health. Illnesses. Nutrition. We all are the same on one level due to the fact that we are humans, but we all have different issues. I wish you all the best in your journey !!! :)
I lost more weight on carnivory. I had come to a place where my body didn't want me to lose any more weight while on keto and even though I did IF, it fought me to stay where I was. But as soon as I switched to carnivory I lost 7 more pounds the first 4 weeks. The second four weeks were very different: I lost in size around my waist and other areas, but gained more muscles. So I weighted more but looked thinner! I am happy with that exchange, because as I age (58 now) I want to add more muscle. I like what doctor Ted Naiman says: "Muscle is the 'organ' of longevity." I do resistance training twice a week, and HIIT twice a week. I not only look thinner, but I am stronger!
Don't forget, RDA's aren't really based on science. They're rough estimates for people that eat wheat and shitloads of carbs. What's the most hilarious, if you follow the food pyramid it's actually impossible to meet all RDA's. Unless you're way over the required kcals ofcourse.
marleymusic217 you know what's more hilarious than that? your potassium RDA actually increases if you eat less carbs.
also its actually quite easy to meet all RDA's. Today I achieved that with only consuming 1011 kcals.
I followed the Dr Eric Berg version of Keto for a year(7 cups of veggies and small amounts of protien, heavy on plant fats) and saw big improvements in inflammation, weight loss, and mood improvements, but i was TOO skinny and couldn't build muscle or strength. Started Carnivore and saw after one month saw HUGE improvements in muscle body composition(abs for first time in life!), strength, recovery from workouts and work, lingering chronic joint pain COMPLETELY dissapeared! It TURBOCHARGED Keto, I love it so much it's now been 9 months, and STILL gaining power and strength! I have found, Dr. Berg, that vegetables are NOT necessary, NOT essential, and NOT optimal. Good day😎
what you eat bro?
Samee question please reply
Carnivore has changed my life, been on it for one month now. I used IF to go from 392 to 259 (weighed recently) towards the end I did keto but since doing carnivore the last thirty days, I can totally tell the difference. I’m also MUCH stronger now than 30 days ago
That's awesome!👍🙂
Where you eating lots of meat or small portion of meat so you dont spike insulin.
same for me and actually that comes from a vegetarian for 20 years !!!! saved my life I got back (almost) to my weight and health as when i was 20 ! Iam healthy i have energy ! can ask for more and I dont care what others says.. i go with my own prescription !
I'm four weeks into carnivore diet. I'm no scientist. I only go by how I feel and I feel really good, no inflammation and tons of energy.
Hi there. Does pain mean inflammation? I never asked anyone. Thank you. ❤
@@amberdelivered06 I think inflammation and pain go hand in hand.
@kirkhochburger8247 okay. Thanks for responding. I'm happy for your success with the carnivore diet 🙌
Can you sleep on carnivore diet?
@@nobody123-b5r I have no problems sleeping.
I've been carnivore for 4 years and health problems from being vegan and fruitarian have been gone for 3+ years now, so happy.
@@TheHungarianOak No, I was eating the SAD diet for many years and then a plant based diet for 2 years and that was what put me in the hospital. 5+ years carnivore now and I'm healthier than ever :)
@@TheHungarianOak I had back pain/stiffness from an operation in 2005.
in 2022 that pain/stiffness stopped and it was my carnivore diet. This is the kind of healing I expected from the vegan/plant diet, after that failed I had to try the opposite because I thought that there must be an optimal human diet.
I have found it, zero health issues now after 20 years of smoking and standard diet and obesity to name a few other problems.
I'm really glad you touched on the organ meat topic. I feel like it is very important on this "diet" in order to get the nutrients you need. Some other things to remember is to consume things like beef bone stock (for collagen, electrolytes, etc.), and to only eat lean meats sparingly, or with other fatty meats. I try to get everything grass-fed, including butter, milk, eggs (pasture raised), etc.
I started about a week ago and I feel like a new person. I'm glad I did my research and started out eating the full spectrum (beef liver, stock, etc.) at the beginning because I feel like that made a big difference in how quickly I was able to start feeling changes. The GI problems I had been struggling with and suffering from for almost a year are gone. Within 2 days, I could walk around all day without my knees hurting. No more bloating whatsoever. It's kinda crazy to think about how much pain I didn't know I was in because of almost constant inflammation before doing this. One thing I will admit though is that the keto flu sucks! lol
Love Dr. Berg, but this is the first weak video I’ve seen. Full disclosure, I’ve been carnivore for 27 days (and have seen amazing benefits) so one could argue bias, but I have 2 issues:
1. “Phytonutrients” is simply the name for nutrients from plants. We get all the nutrients we need from animal products. Don’t get caught up in the fancy nomenclature. As well, look up the term “photochemicals”
2. Vitamin C competes with glucose in the body. If you consume little to no carbs you need very little vitamin C. In some cultures, low vitamin C (read scurvy) was fixed with fresh meat.
microgreens guys!
NatuHealth tell that to all the people who not only survive, but thrive without plants and/or vitamin C.
NatuHealth No disrespect, but I just had a long conversation with someone explaining human evolution, animal husbandry, living north of the 60th parallel, etc. It turned out he was a young earth creationist who essentially believed that we were all made in our current form with a carrot in our hands.
I’m not going down that rabbit hole again. While conventional research tells us that we need plants, cholesterol should be lowered at all costs, and we treat type 2 diabetes with carbs at every meal (reference the ADA who continently claims that it is an incurable disease), we are now leaning that there have been agendas that fuel this research. Correlation is not causation and it has made countless people sick or worse.
I will, however, give you a single example of someone who thrives without plants, someone who just assumed he was destined to have digestion and skin problems for life until he stopped eating them. Me.
NatuHealth then why do the Inuit and Maasai thrive on just animals lol
antonio perez based on NatuHealth’s last response I’d just let this go. Too much wrong with the last reply to address.
In a ribeye of 8 oz/ 227 g there is 660 g potassium. Vitamin C : Vitamin C’s role as a cofactor in hydroxylation reactions (transferring a hydroxl group to the amino acids lysine and proline), is what helps make the building blocks of collagen. But meat comes “pre-packaged” with hydroxylysine and hydroxyproline - further bypassing much of the requirement for vitamin C.
Red meat actually has quite a bit of potassium
@Rodrigo Novais Only if it is grass fed.
@@bhcpp almost all cows are grass fed they just give them extra corn to help fatten them up but they eat grass in a pasture all day and get extra feed at night.
@@bhcpp grass finished is only grass fed all their lives. But both have vitamin c in them.

@@foleydave26 not necessarily, they could've been raised on grain and then finished on grass
The ice cream diet doesn't work so good. I tried it.
Abigail Sockeye yes but it's fun.
Abigail, I don't believe you (yes I do) and have to try this diet myself! :P
At least you get milk through ice cream. Ice cream is actually healthy, it's got the B vitamins and saturated fats and cholesterol.
Dairy free coffee ice cream is where it's at! Easy to digest, tastes really good, & gives you energy.
Dark Rose, yeah but you could probably live off of ice cream (since it contains milk) so it is healthy, although it's not ideal, because of the added sugar. Caffeine in coffee is fake energy. It stimulates your body to be awakened (like a drug), but it's not actually nourishing or building your body up.
I started keto in 2017 then I switched to carnivore last year. I’ve been carnivore for 18 months now 🍖😎💪🏼
Are you loosing more with carnivore?
How is your blood pressure and cholesterol?
@@Gym_firebrand I'm 100% Carnivore. My blood pressure is great and all of my lab work comes back excellent. I'm 63 and I'm always given a clean bill of health from my Dr.
Would love an update
and? what is the result?
I like DR.BERG, but he's wrong about it being difficult to get all the nutrients, its actually very easy, especially with organ meats. also, i have never had better digestion/elimination, much better than keto.
How do you get potassium? I really want to try this. Any tips?
Meat, especially beef, has loads of potassium.
@@sandooch6465 cool. I'm trying it out. Any idea how much?
I'm on carnivore and understand about vitamin C. However, what about vitamins E and K, which animal products lack where it's hard to get what is "recommended" for daily consumption. I've tried to research info about this but can't seem to find it. It appears that nuts and seeds provide tons of E but they are also inflammatory being high in omega 6 fatty acids and oxalates. The primary reason I'm on carnivore is for the anti-inflammatory benefits, which plants work against.
@@TheRevelationDeception that's easy. Butter or ghee which is from butter. And eggs.
Potassium is not an issue. One gram of meat has just as much potassium as a gram of banana.
I also hear that the more salt you intake the less potassium you need, because when your body is low on salt, it dumps more potassium to keep a balance
You’d need like 12 bananas/day to get enough potassium. Dr. Berg recommends 4800 mg of potassium - for example Kale. 🙂
Keto doesn't really allow fruits. Dr Eric Berg has never said that you should eat fruits (you are allowed to have some moderate levels of berries tho). Let alone eat fruits for the purpose of getting enough potassium. Also they can deplete your level of nutrients in your body because of the presence of sugar (sugar is not something that we need to provide to our body, doesn't matter whether it's natural or refined). Fruits are high in fructose which is also bad for the body. Potassium is probably depleted in your body to a certain extent if you provide your body sugar (again even if it's natural).
But Dr. Berg allows vegetables, seeds and nuts like walnuts and brazilan nuts that give good amount of potassium.
I suffered from digestion problems ever since I was a little girl the doctors used to say it was stress. Many many years later and numerous diets (more like lifestyle dietary changes)I'm finding just three weeks the carnivore diet has helped me already
the keto diet and following dr. Berg definitely brought me to this point fine-tuning. And the hardest part of all is really listening to your body who wants to achieve that it'll tell you what it needs
Thanks for sharing your story! I'm glad you have found what works for you!
@@Drberg I am doing low fodmap for IBS-C and will try carnivore diet. I am 59, female and have had digestive issues for 40 years.

I will try to eat the same.

Beef liver has more Vit C than any fruit
False. Citrus has magnitudes more vitamin C.
Lemon has twice more vit C but i can eat more liver))
@@mattroy3154 citrus also has sugar and fiber which block vitamin c
bell peppers has great amount of vitamins C
Dr. Berg recommends organ meat & you eat meat on a Ketogenic diet, so I don’t see how you can say that you’re missing meat?
Actually there is Vit C in Beef, been carnivore for just over a year and in the best shape of my life. Think Dr Berg is too invested in his 8-10 cups of vegetables a day that he's been promoting for years,
Did you know vitamin c is heat sensitive? So if you cook the meat, all vitamin c is gone. Maybe that will be helpful and you can supplement with Vit C instead!
@@JaneThatcher89 not if you have your meat rare 😏

I transitioned into a largely carnivore diet and it's healing me even further than just my kale shake keto . I'll go back to a mix of greens and meat later but for now I'm also collagen loading with beef broth and I feel soooooooooooooooooooo much better. Auto immune is going away
I like your comment, how are you feeling these days?
Dr. Berg recommends Collagen & broth - that’s included in Healthy Keto. 🙂
I am glad you mentioned the auto immune thing as that is why I started Keto but now I am feeling weak again after 1.5 years on Keto, so thinking of the Carnivore diet short term.
Same here! In just a few weeks I already feel so much better and am healing things that have been bad for decades.
how much collagen are you taking in a day?
Studies show that when eating zero carb, we need far less VITAMIN C. Potassium is low on Keto too - an easy fix.
Thankyou for sharing. I’ve been doing Carnivore for 10 months now. Maybe I won’t forever but so far it’s simple, satisfying and for the first time in my life I’m no longer constipated and have easy bowel movements.
Wont ever go back to keto, people has done the carnivore diet for decades so there is no problem longterm.
Alex the carnivore really? Not even for holidays or birthdays or vacations or special events?
I plan to be Carnivore now that I see how simpler it is compared to Keto....but now I can choose when I want to eat...hunger doesn’t rule me...or even knock on my door....I could totally eat a small portion of ice cream without ruining the health for the rest of my life... I wouldn’t mind indulging my taste buds every now and then with Keto foods...I know that it will be a conscious choice....not a craving or directive from nasty gut bacteria lol
UrbanExplorer1000 not caused by eating meat though...lol
UrbanExplorer1000 most likely their body is compromised in some way... there isn’t anything extreme about eating meat ....unless you over do it of course.
And of course you are right...different people respond differently to different foods....especially when they go all in without carefully planning things out and monitoring their situation.
Don’t mean to sound too sure of myself....I just happen to respond extremely well to an all meat diet so far.... I am still finding ways to make sure my high urea levels don’t impact my health down the line.
Cheers!
UrbanExplorer1000 I might consider adding broccoli sprouts into my diet in a couple years...but so far I feel better doing meat only...but I will adjust accordingly by constantly monitoring my health and reading and watching information online... thanks :-)
Kelly Hogan, Amber O'Hearn and Mikhaila Peterson would disagree with your statement about long-term carnivory.
Moved from keto to carnivore. Couldn’t get rid of swelling and I only ate salads (no dressing) and meat/eggs. Since I’ve cut out the salads my swelling g has gone down. I think it should be taken into account that without carbs our bodies don’t need certain things (like vitamin C) as much
Meat has Adequate amounts of Vit C.
Raw vegetables are hard to digest.. Cooking rid of oxalate also
What swelling you had?and how you came to know of the so called swelling
Only organ meats have some Vit C

Finally realized it was me not the product. Later on no sense of smell at all. .... Day 7 on this diet I realized I had some of my sense of smell back! I could not believe it. I ran around the house smelling everything and still not believing it. I just went and smelled the coffee in the jar......and yes.......I can smell it!!! Yipee... I have other problems so I want to stay on this and see what else I can heal. .......Peggy
You should really go on an interview with Doctor Barry He talks about the positives of the carnivore diet but not the negatives the important details like what you did in this video! That's why I love your content you talk about the positives and negatives the pros and the cons
My diet has consisted of solely meat (mostly red), eggs, some cheese, coffee, and water for the last month. I lift weights twice a week for one hour. In that time I have dropped, as of my last check in, 8% body fat and have strapped on about 7 pounds of muscle. Weight has dropped slightly but body composition is changing.
I got some ok results with keto but carnivore is getting me exactly what I want - steady fat loss and building muscle. I do add in some fasting periods as well just because I like how that feels. I'm doing this for at least another month before I add back in any vegetables but do plan on going that route.
Overall I feel awesome on this diet and it may just be the thing for me to do but it isn't for everyone. Hope you find what works for you 👍

10 days into carnivore and 12lbs lost what else can I say?! I just started and already I'm feeling great! I'm a pacific islander and I looove rice. Since I was born this would be longest time I've gone without rice. Dont crave it that much now. Cheehoo! I'm 5'9" and 232lbs. When I started carnivore. Today is my 10th day and I'm 220lbs. I'm still overweight but I'm moving alot more, my knee pain from injury and overweight doesn't bother me as much as it use to. I use to do track and field in high school and was also active and did well in other sports. Baseball, softball, volleyball, table tennis and boxing. With all these athletic experience and knowledge and I still wasn't motivated enough to lose weight.
Because of this I feel like carnivore is a diet cheat or life hack🤣 in that I still can eat a lot and still lose weight. Or so I thought, now I don't eat much simply because I'm not always hungry. In addition I do home projects daily without any running or gym work out and I'm down by 12lbs in 10 days. Ooooh I can't wait to start running.

Dr. Berg, the science behind the nutrients lost from not eating veggies on the Carnivore diet suggests because you're not eating carbs those nutrients lost are not essential! Certain nutrients become essential mainly because of our carb intake! Plus without the carbs from veggies insulin spikes are not raised to high levels from the meat consumed! People who go from Keto to all meat are finding themselves losing the additional weight after coming to a stall on Keto! Zero carb meat diets put you in a greater fat burning state than Keto it seems! Of course still intermittent fasting as well!

Hi. How are you now? Can you update pleass
Raw meat? Lol
My Goodnes raw meat??!
I've never seen a video promoting carnivore that was pushing high protein, it is always high fat. I watch all Dr Bergs videos but I dont think he's quite right on this topic. Doing carnivore does not at all mean consuming large amounts of lean protein.
Even real low carb diet makes me crave carbs and fight being hungry and I can never stay on one or even only 2 meals a day. I went full carnivore and did it not only heal my gut and digestive issues I can easily do one meal a day if I can keep my fat up real high. Which is the only way for me to lose body fat after a year stall on keto.
When I started Healthy Keto I immediately went to only two meals/day. It only took three days & I wasn’t hungry & I didn’t crave anything! I lost 21 kilos in 2,5 months! I’d gained 26 kilos in 10 months without changing anything in my diet or lifestyle & I’d never been overweight before, so I believe it was a hormonal imbalance! I’m forever grateful for Dr. Berg 🙏🏼❣️ 🙂
You don't have to eat too much protein, using fat instead of carbs for energy. Most carnivores know when they have had enough protein as they feel comfortably satisfied. Other carnivore MDs say that higher protein intake is not hard on the kidney and liver as was once taught.
As far as vitamin C, carnivores only need nanograms of vitamin C compared to those eating carbohydrate. This is because the glut4 transporter that recognizes vitamin C and moves it into your cells is the same transporter that glucose uses to enter cells. The glucose out-competes the vitamin C.
As far as the nutrients in veg and fruit, there are also anti-nutrients, especially oxalates, phytates, and lectins. How do you know what nutrients are able to be absorbed from the veg? I can say that since I cut out veg the constipation, bloating, and gas issues are gone.
3 weeks on carnivore
I lost 26 lb. 👍
Feeling fabulous !!!!!!!
Do you eat 3 times a day or OMAD
3 weeks on broccoli would have the same effect (but well done)
I went carnivore 4 years ago and lost 70lbs, 12" from my waist, and my A1C is between 4.8 - 5.1, so I'll keep avoiding carbs.
I also cut my grocery bill by about 70%. Eggs, sardines, and ground beef are cheap. I treat myself to salmon and ribeye with the savings from time to time.

Yes, in first 1-5 years, carni works well but after that your body will start getting acidic and literally you'll kill your kidneys . Also your pre-priandial insulin will rise and one will become pre-diabetic .
I have not been able to lose any more weight on keto. Will you lose weight on carnivore?
I've been strict keto for a year and have found myself naturally gravitating toward carnivore. My natural eating habits have moved to OMAD with that meal being meat heavy, light veg.
Exactly!
Where you eating a lot of meat or just moderate not to spike insulin levels. Like 80 grams of protein or you eat more.
@@mrshoni3725 I've been a carnivore for 4 years and 80g (3oz) of protein isn't enough, even for a non-carnivore!

Please watch Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Jason Fung to learn how to get the proper nutrition for better results 😎
I think the whole "keep protein low" thing is misleading. My definition of a well balanced diet is simply getting your macro right.
Let's face it, we all agree that an egg is the perfect food as it has everything a mammal needs to be created, and if we break down the macros an egg works out at about 60% fat, 40% protein 0% carbs...
Now take a rib eye steak, it's about 60% fat, 40% protein and 0% carbs...
Do you see a pattern here peeps? Think about it...
Jay Morrow eggs do have carbs though!!
Natalie Glover don't think so, as far as I know living animals have no carbs it there structure, hence why there are no essential carbs listed?
Protein should be looked at a goal not something that needs to be avoided we just need to keep the fat high in my experience.
Protein is the most important macro to hit- we all have plenty of fat in our bodies but we can't create protein
'Eggs have everything for a mammal to be created' ????? Since when did birds get re categorised as mammals?!
An interesting observation when I was in Prague for three days - when you go to a restaurant there, the local dishes you find are heavily meat based. I ate twice a day, two course meal which consists of 80% fatty meat and 15% vegetables and 5% grain based (bread) and the portions are huge (almost to a point one can be satisfied with just eating a starter) I am a sucker for local food, so I tried as many local dishes as possible. I was worried that I might put on few kilos right after my trip. When I came home and checked my weight: to my amazement my weight was 0.5kg less than what I was before my trip. I accidentally discovered this carnivore diet and watching and reading people's opinions want me to try this diet (based on my three day eating A LOT OF MEAT)
I tried keto twice and got limited benefits. Once I went carnivore, my skin, digestive, joint pain issues have diminished greatly. It's been 4 months and I'm so grateful I found the carnivore diet. Dr. Berg makes great informative videos and I've been watching his channel since 2019.
Can't speak highly enough about the carnivore diet. And I've heard no issues nor experienced any with vitamin deficiency. No reports of scurvy. I've never had healthier teeth/gums. Skin looks amazing. Inflammation gone. Sharp mental state. I think you should study it more.
I think most people are better off without veggies. Already 1 month carnivore and I'm feeling better than Keto. No bloating and gym performance increased.
You think wrong
VenusXO - wow, great way to put it.
VenusXO I learned that the hard way. Messed up my digestion trying to eat 10 cups of greens a day. They are not necessary and only cause problems for healthy people.
cyn Cooked mostly or Mediterranean style salads but they still had the same effect.
cyn both. What set me over the top was extreme abdominal pain from steamed and riced cauliflower. Damn was that dish good but I thought I had an ulcer that day. I've experimented with a little of both but I don't like the bloating and the horrible bowel movements so I eat very little vegetables now.
I think that this is a very interesting concept that can and has shown to work in a lot of cases. Our bodies can adapt to pretty much anything and especially for the short term this takes stress of our digestive systems. I’ve been battling SIBO for the past few months and recently switched to a 90% carnivore diet and have noticed that this has helped greatly
Thanks for sharing. Have you lost wt on 90% carnivore diet. What is the 10% of food you are consuming. I have tried dieting and need to get rid of 30kg but stuck on same wt.
@@sanasingh9928 I actually ended up finding an incredible holistic healing program and that’s been helping me to heal slowly but surely. If you want I can give you the link. But yeah the carnivore diet isn’t sustainable long term although it can help to mitigate symptoms in the short term
@@jaredweiss3772 is there any way you can share that holistic program for SIBO?
@@jaredweiss3772 Rick Rodriguez has been eating this way for 40 years and several people on YT have been eating this way for more than 10.

I did meat and water for almost three years and wish now that I had stayed on it. I disliked the organ meats but I just ate them anyway and after a few weeks it was not so bad. I did worry about potassium so I used "Lite Salt". Eventually I added a salad to my meals "for variety" and that led to a long relapse. For me it was about cold turkey and complete abstinence from my drug of choice, carbohydrates. I'm accomplishing that now with Paleo/Keto and extended IF, but I think it was easier with the Carnivore Diet.
Bill DeWitt high uric acid??
Nope. That's notably a product of fructose or alcohol metabolisis.
Same here. Any carbs brings more cravings for nuts and veggies. But if I just eat a meal of fatty meat I'm good all day long. I too had low potassium and use Nu-salt but it's also an imbalance with sodium so I have to go easy on the salt. I believe it's about balancing them not large quantities as people always push.
Meat has potasium get used to organ meats they have all the vitamins u need go out in the sun atleast 10 minutes everyday if possible for vitamin D3
Oysters have vitamin c in them so do mussels. Now how does a prairie gal cook them??
I appreciate the careful way Dr Berg is approaching this video - very respectful.
Since 1 month carnivore and I have never felt better. I do eat 3 Brazil nuts a day for selenium, which isn’t carnivore but who cares.
I drink lemon water and that brings me vitamin c.
Overall my hair isn’t falling, nails and skin looking good, a complete peace of mind and not any stress buying many ingredients for cooking.
After the second week i absolutely and ultimately felt no need for sugars or carbs. This is truly insane for me.
It is very relaxing 😌 one month in, went really really quickly.
I will go for the 60 days and see where it leads me. I want to lose body fat, so there is a long term journey. So far the carnivore brought me peace of mind, some small body composition changes. Now that I am fat adapted is time to hit the gym and fasting for fat loss.
Overall if anyone is curious about trying go for it! Check Dr Ken Berry video on how to get started.
Much love ❤

I am a pharmacist on the carnivore diet and it has saved my life!!! I have a medical condition called aveolar hemorrhaging (my lungs bleed) and a genetic clotting disorder so I have had over 10 blood clots, so I have dealt with a lot. I am so much healthier than I was eating "normally", and I no longer even consider myself terminal. Also, it's just potassium, salt, and magnesium you need to supplement with, and in rare meat you DO get vitamin C from the vegetables the animal has eaten, so I thought I would let you know about that. I have eaten this way for over two years, and most symptoms I deal with now are related to the meds they gave me for years (like high dose steroids, yuck!), not my actual illness. I am so angry not one dr asked me how I ate, and even what they gave us in the hospital to eat. (wheat, carbs, etc.) My primary dr went from thinking I was crazy for trying this diet out to, six months later, being shocked at my improvement in health and telling me "to keep doing whatever I was doing." I am also very frustrated they didn't educate us better about good and health in pharmacy school, same in medical school I believe, and it hasn't improved at all. My daughter is a pharmacist and learned the same things about food when she was in pharmacy school. "the pyramid diet"
What type of genetic clotting disorder do you have? I have factor 5 Lieden and am wondering if you've notice blood clots less often? I've had 3 major DVTs and as a result have vascular damage as well as being on xerelto for life. I'm curious about keto/carnivore but have only begun reducing carbs not cutting them.
Dr. Berg! You are an amazing human being!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing videos! You’re helping to heal the world.
Keto helped me lose weight and regain health...but carnivore put me over the top. I am stronger and healthier, and just couldn't get "next level" on keto macros. I eat no vegetables whatsoever. Just red meat, grass fed butter and water
what about your bloodwork?
What about it? My trigs are low. CRP is low. Insulin is low. HDL is high. LDL is high, but I am "Pattern A".
No vegetables at all?
allen rogers damn.. Ur officially a bear
Siobhan, yes I no longer eat a veggie of any sort. I occasionally eat a handful of pistachios and maybe an avocado once a month. My carbs are less than 5-10 total a day. I have a keto friendly MD, and have quarterly bloodwork done (annual now as I am so healthy) My last micro panel showed virtually no deficiencies. I have a CIMT scan done regularly and each one, my arterial thickness improves
Yes, I would love to see a video of Dr Berg and Dr Berry!
I have heard of people with cancer going into remission because this diet doesn't feed the cancer cells. I agree with Dr. Berg, adding veggies would be healthier.
All I know is that I ate a low carb diet for over a year and still had digestive issues and muscle and joint pain. Within TWO days eating only carnivore, my muscle pain decreased 80-90%, and has continued to improve. My abdominal bloat and pain is gone, and I am now sleeping through the night. The proof, as the say, is in the eating. Maybe at some point I might be able to add vegetables back into my diet, but after hearing Mikhaila Peterson's, Kelly Hogan's, and Amber O' Hearn's stories, I may not. They all have been carnivore for many years with no ill effects .
Where you eating a lot of meat or just moderate not to spike insulin levels
i bet is the dairy. I cut it out and dairyless keto works. dairy is very inflammatory.
@@mrshoni3725 Carnivore is considered high fat and moderate protein.
Vitamin C exists in red meat and salmon.
liver contains vitamin c
I always knocked carnivore,,then through keto tried a week here and there on just meats and found it works like a reset button,is getting rid of bloating which I get from too much salad,,,thanks for a great vid,,,
At Khan: Me too. More than 5 cups of baby greens and I'm suffering. With carnivore my belly is flatter than it's ever been. Slowly working my veggies back in though.
salad bloats? what? how?
Cheers for the feedback,,,some folk do bloat with veg or salad same as some do with milk,,,,and yes I have started with apple cider vinegar and find it helps,,,have a great weekend,,,
Peter Parker id like to know as well
I ate ALL the right prebiotics and probiotics and thought carnivore was crazy but I tried it and it's amazing. All my digestive issues that came from eating all the unnecessary vegetables went away. I feel best with zero vegetables and fiber.
I’ve done the standard American diet, the vegetarian diet, the more “balanced” Mediterranean diet, keto, and carnivore. I’d say any diet is better than a fast food, ultra processed diet… however…
I’ve never felt better than eating a meat based, carnivore diet. Digestion (no gas, bloating, constipation, or frequent stinky bowels) is remarkably better. Inflammation in the joints is non-existent. Mental health is superior, less anxiety, depression and better mental clarity. My energy is sustainable and overall well-being is just, better. And I hear the same from so many people. Our bodies are built to thrive through eating animal products.

What about Eskimos they only eat seal no vegetables, their still hanging tight
And have great skin
Most asians are short even the rice eaters.
Unfortunately most Inuit now eat a mostly western diet with some traditional foods mixed in.Refined Carbs and sugar are even worse for Indigenous people than they are for the rest of us. Especially Inuit people.
I am trying carnivore diet now.
But one thing to caution about mentioning certain group of people. You need to understand about "evolving" and that is a long process.
People around the globe may have different bacteria in their guts that allow them to break down different foods
Read> “The Eskimo Myth”
Written By Michael Greger M.D. FACLM • July 12, 2018
"The totality of evidence from actual clinical investigations, autopsies, and imaging techniques is that they have the same plague of coronary artery disease that non-Eskimo populations have, and the Eskimo actually have twice the fatal stroke rate and don’t live particularly long."
I just listened to Drs Berry and Saladino on the carnivore diet featuring the latter's new book "The Carnivore Code". I am going to stay on Keto which I discovered through your channel in March 2019. I lost 17 lbs in 6 months and brought down my fasting blood sugar from 6.3 to 5.1. And I'm on OMAD. Thank you for your in-depth research on Nutrition and your passion to share it with lay people like me.
I was on keto and it worked ok for me. But it made eating the worst part of my day. I had to supplement sooo much I keto as well.
Now I am on carnivore and have way more energy. It literally improved every part of my mind and body.
Also, I have never met someone who did keto and carnivore that said keto was better. Everyone on carnivore said that they had way more energy and didn’t get that tired feeling after eating.
Thanks Doc. In the past I tried high protein diet (mostly beef, little else) due to food allergies. I got MUCH healthier with almost no effort or difficulties in food prep. Simply worded: **Avoidance* (of horrid additives & horrid processing practices that is wildly common in today's food markets) is fast, simple and EASY (which is vital for people with "brain fog") I have since then learned how to eat well without effort (meats eggs & salads, mainly via Green Smoothies.) p.s. That is also when I learned how WILDLY positive fasting is. I was fasting once a week for 36 hours, and once a month for several days up to 8 days continuously.
My health was seriously going downhill after menopause. And after retiring on a very small pension my diet was reduced to poverty food like beans and rice most days. I had so many aches and pains I thought, is this what the rest of my life is going to be like? I knew I had to make changes but it had to be something I could afford. So, in an effort to change the downward trajectory of my health, and quality of life, I decided to actively pursue information on improving my diet. I was following the high veg, low fat diet we all learned for most of my days. But, since then, I have learned so much more about nutrition and why my health was deteriorating. So, over the span of the last four years I went from vegetarian, to ovo lacto pescatarian, to Ketogenic, to Ketovore ,to full carnivore for the past 5 months. I lost 65lbs and look and feel great. All inflammation is gone. All blood tests normalized- except ldl. More energy, stronger, younger looking, no more pre-diabetic, no liver enzyme issues, no more brain fog, no more inflammation, and I’m near my goal weight. I eliminated vegetable induced bloat and the constipation I suffered with for a lifetime. It will be a great day when the data catches up to the benefits of low carb diets and doctors get educated on diet based remedies verses the pills Big Pharma bribes them to push on their patients. Good luck, my friends!
I have experienced the same & more.
Arthritic pain in index fingers....gone.
Brain fog....gone.
Sleep.....great
Tonsils....clear & no inflamation.
Post menopausal weight....loosing steadily.
It's only been 2 weeks since starting carnivore.
In 5 months I’ve gone from 210 to 155 and eliminated all inflammation in my entire body I’m never going back🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽🤸🏽♂️
Lost 13 lbs in 2 mos on strict carnivore, but had my first salad with pork shoulder last night. Why was I so happy to have a salad y'all? I felt energized and just having that variety made me feel good. It did produce more mucus I noticed but besides that, I think I'm adding back veggies, at least salads for now because my body is asking for this and it's not cake.
@@pjc7351 not only that you have to take away the pleasure of eating food. you have to look at it is just a source of energy!
@@pjc7351 I love placing an over-easy egg on meat cuts. The yolk is like gravy.
It's not cake :)
Nah, haven’t had any problems so far. I’m doing this for a year. Let you know next year. Been eating carnivore for nearly three weeks. I just allowed myself to eat when hungry which was eating two meals a day. I’m now, as of today down to omad. This transition happened with no hunger whatsoever. That has been very freeing. I have no body odour when I sweat and I can smell smells very acutely which is interesting! My energy is so much better and even all day. I don’t weigh myself and that is one of the reasons following this diet. The main reason though is to address my chronic indigestion. It was fine if I only ate Omad, but I would energy for only half a day. That’s a huge plus, having even energy on this diet. I’m no longer hangry or desperate to eat my one meal. At 72, my health is important because I do not trust the medical profession now with this covid nonsense and I’m in perpetual lockdown here in NewZealand at the moment, so I have to be healthy. Not too worried here on my farm where we raise our own cattle and sheep and have a huge area to ride over. Oh, that’s another thing. I was losing confidence in riding my horses, but I now feel a whole lot stronger and more confident , so riding is my exercise!
I am on my 8 th week of carnivore now , and feeling great , before ı was eating Keto , and I used to have headaches 2-3 times in a week , but on carnivore I did not have any headache in 8 weeks !
And my energy level is better more stable
I wasn't sure where to leave the success story. I have Systemic Lupus and you help me sooooo very much!!!🙏🙏🙏
The message of the video is that the carnivore diet works only for a few specific cases and should not be used by everyone. It also must be in moderation. Keto + fasting is always better.
I eat steak, eggs, bacon, prime rib burger patties and 2-3 kale shakes a week and I fell AMAZING.. I can’t do a lot of veg because of the bloating. I feel amazing on the carnivore diet. I road bike and mountain bike 140 km / week .. i NEVER get hungry or thirsty on my rides. I get no cravings or energy drops on the carnivore diet.
how do you cook your eggs? I used onions and olive oils so I can make omelette, but if I can't use vegetable oils then idk how to make an omelette?
@@NoeticInsight Maybe lard? Lard is fine on Carnivore, surely?
Been on Keto nearly one year, was great and lost a lot of weight, but I feel a bit weaker on it. I might try the carnivore diet and see how I feel. Plus I love meat
Digestion is my achilles heel. I had the best, easiest bowel movements of my life on the carnivore diet, which I did for about two weeks. I was not careful enough when I came off it, and now my digestive system is really wonky. I will likely go back to carnivore, making sure to include beef liver this time, and stick with small portions. And a couple of times a week, I might try adding fresh veg juice and/or cruciferous veg. One concern I have is that my pancreas and liver are weak, I think, so have to be careful not to overload with protein and animal fat. Tricky.
Boiled Eggs with Yolk and Lamb/Beef Liver are the Heathiest. They give you nearly 80% of micronutrients in few serves.
So have a bunch of soft boiled eggs and small portions of lamb/beef liver atleast 4-5 times a week.
I love Dr. Berg because six years later, his opinions about the carnivore diet have changed drastically and he is not afraid to admit it, and teach us about why, including his personal experiences and all the latest research that supports it. There are only a few practitioners on social media that have the integrity and humbleness to admit they might have been wrong, and actually help educate us to be the best we can be. God bless you Dr. Berg!!
