I told my doctor last week at my annual appointment about the carnivore diet and he told me that the brain needs glucose, thus some carbs are okay. I didn't know what to say to that so I went home and looked it up and discovered that the liver makes glucose from the amino acids in meat. Guess I'll tell him that next year at my annual appointment, because I only see him once a year.
Haha, the brain does burn a lot of glucose! Doesn't mean we have to try and eat it while whacking the whole system with a 100+ gram intake of it all at once 😂
Anyone suffering from tinnitus, dizzy spells, vertigo, focal or absence seizures please listen to this man. I believe going carnivore has had a massively positive effect on my mental health. I was vegetarian for a few years and I never ate animal fats when I did eat meat before that, I'd cut it off and throw it away. Silly of me. A relative made me a fatty steak with chips fried in beef tallow, I ate all of the fat and instantly felt a massive difference. I got investigating and this is how I ended up on the doctors channel. I hope nobody has to suffer those problems, they're hellish. Eating carnivore has changed the quality of my life for the better. Thanks for your work Doc
My friend can't game anymore, she is dizzy all the time, as if she's on a roller coaster, and she either starves herself or barely touches fat. I can't convince her otherwise. She says it's her eating disorder pushing her to eat light and veggies. It's heartwrenching to watch.

@@WorldSaver2025I had already been eating small amounts of meat again, cutting the fat away. I occasionally felt better and couldn't figure out why. Then it all made sense
Been eating the PHD for 7 years! Started with Keto, now ketovore (mostly meat base) for 5 years! 72 y.o., no meds! Work 40 hours a week, standing 8 hours a day! Loving life 🎉
At first I was going to crack a disrespectful joke, but I read on to discover you're 72, which rendered my pervy joke obsolete. It's clear what PHD you've been eating for 7 years. Anyways, sorry. ☺️
I'm also 67 😊 So ketovore is keto with more meat? Still some carbs? I like the keto diet and lost 20lbs in first 2 months. How does one become ketovore?
@@justme33126ketovore is just carnivore with adding some plants in as “condiments”. Think onions, jalopenos and maybe a low carb veggie side occasionally like brussel sprouts or asparagus. Technically probably coffee too would make it ketovore. Doesn’t matter what you call it. Keep it mostly meat and low carb and you’re great.
Wait, Dr. Ken. I have a use for this study and this great video: I'm teaching my undergrad research course and need an example like this to help me explain faulty research. You are a life-saver! I will be showing this video in class and going over this "study" to show what is NOT academic research! By the way, I've been almost at optimum weight (used to weigh in the 190s, now weigh in the 160s) for almost 3 years now because I found you 3 years ago. Just turned 63 last week and no longer feel like I have to succumb to all the internal diseases my loving, late parents suffered. Thanks and hope to meet you and Neisha one day!
Dr Ken Berry is a true compass of the truth when it comes to our health. I made an incredible transition from being fat and sick and loaded up on medication. I am fit, lift weights and at 70 in June I feel and look great. No more meds. No more Type 2 Diabetes, no prostate cancer, no heartburn and my abs are showing not as defined as I am trying to get but I eat like a lion. Eat until I am full. No cravings either. Do it to save yourself! Thank you Dr Ken Berry!
I was admitted to hospital and diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and a stent and defibrillator were implanted. I weighed 274 pounds and am 6’4”. My A1C was 9. Afterwards, I eventually adopted a low carb diet which has evolved into a ketavore diet. In the last 18 months, I have lost 80 pounds and have stopped glyburide and metformin with the help of a CGM and my average blood sugar for past 14 days is 94. I feel much better
My switch to keto brought about a noticeable improvement in short term and long term memory in 4 months. Your own knowledge, from your own learning, your own conclusions, your own decisions.
I am so excited! I met a fellow Carnivore yesterday at my store and she and I were both on the same health journey. Lisa a two year carnivore and I a one year carnivore this month! We are both healed! ❤
A plant based diet nearly killed me. I was starving myself of nutrition. RA was off the charts, and i was overweight. Ketovore now, and slowly healing thanks to Dr. Berry.
I went completely Carnivore 5 years ago and I have just had a book published- not self published - carnivore cleared my thinking and I went for it - thank you ❤
Thank you Dr Berry, after researching many presentations by different MD's online, I have come to trust you the most because of your straightforward explanations.
Got a phone call yesterday from dr. My LDL has shot way up, a1c normal, I have optimal tri:hdl ratio, along with pattern A fluffy LDL, low BMI and chronic urticaria is under control. My metabolismgot better accordingto metab testing i had 3 mths from when i started keto (high protein, high fat). I printed out LMHR study to share with him (i meet all the markers), since his first response was that I'll need to start statins. I'm on clean ketovore diet, low glycemic, low oxylate veg. No processed shit. I've lost weight and post meno symptoms are gone. I plan to ask for CAC scan if he pushes statins.
A tiny list of keto/carnivores who have not died after years on the diet: Kelly Hogan, 16 ish years; Rick (Charger Mopar) 41 years carnivore; Maggie Smith carnivore 65 years (still runs her own cattle ranch in Canada. She is 85 and looks about 65. There are so many more.
Thank you dr berry for highlighting and exposing these sheddy studies and reports. They are clearly misleading. I like a questioning mindset and professional curiosity. Carnivore diet gives personal evidence and experience, this is my claim from my personal experience. I’m enjoying the energy I’m experiencing and the health benefits are humongous 🙏🏾❤❤❤
Love your videos Dr. Berry. Found you shortly after being diagnosed on Nov 11th. Went low carb right away (made some mistakes), then two meals 16/8 the last month plus treadmill. Saw the diabetes Doc finally Jan 17th. Old numbers were, 11.9 304 put on Metformin, 247 pounds and bp 150/90. 67 days later, new numbers are 6.6 85 taken off Metformin, 211 pounds and bp 115/75. These videos are a life saver. I'm a 57 year old male.
3:50 Wow, so they say "red meat", but the study is about processed meat ( and only correlational) , and yet the pictures are of pure red meat. This is criminal
The nurses study is the one that asks "how much of these foods did you eat over the last 5 years" and also the answers that code to "red meat" include "burgers" despite those including bread, salad, large fries, and a bucket of coke
Im a 40 yo woman and my testosterone was at 12. My doctor told me "normal" is 9-50for women my age. I started TRT last year in March and my levels went up to 75 with multiple follow up tests. I started carnivor on August 3rd. My testosterone result in December was 240!!! My doctor is certain that is carnivore that changed my levels so drastically. I have adjusted my TRT and just redid labs today to see where i am...eagerly awaiting my results. May be discontinuing TRT 😊 I feel great! My husband and i fully agree with your friend about the food industry lowering our testosterone on purpose. Soy is in everything!
You will discontinue now to have to back on it 5 years later...h r lucky you can get it at all. Nobody will give me trt and I am in n menopause and my t level is almost zero
@iss8504 Although TRT has been great i hope i don't have to go back on TRT and carnivore will keep my levels up. Id prefer that my body functions normally without any supplements. I had to do a lot of searching to find a doctor who understands the importance of testosterone for women and that women actually have more testosterone than estrogen. It's unfortunate that testosterone has gotten such a bad wrap and has become taboo. I am bless to have found my doctor who also supports carnivore diet. I have to drive two hours to see him but it is so worth it. I hope you can find a wise doctor for yourself!
My first thought was most non-keto eaters will have their hot dog with a hot dog BUN or their bologna with WHITE BREAD or their bacon with TOAST. Perhaps the risk factors were linked to the accompanying carbs/sugar intake of these highly processed add ons.
I order Double Dogs at Portillo’s, to save buns carbs! My vegetables intake is on the dogs, and unsweetened tea! I get double or triple cheeseburgers for the same reason! I’ve been pretty regular there eating lunch, for the last few months, and haven’t gained weight, even if I get a double cheeseburger with it! I try to eat one meal a day, and fast till the next day!
I started carnivore on November 18th and didn't cheat over Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Year. I drank one beer. And never really noticed the weight loss but I started at 320 pounds and today I'm 275 pounds. I did carnivore because the cardiovascular doctor said I had to lower my LDL. Statins and Rapatha. I don't care what my LDL is even though it was within the parameters they said he wanted it lower then the normal person. I go back in April and I will have a lipid panel done by my oncologist and act like I've taked the cardiovascular doctor's crap that would have made me a diabetic. I feel great and I am constantly cleaning and organizing with a very sharp focus. I sleep 6 to 6 1/2 hours and no anxiety or depression. At 66 years old I'm going full speed ahead. Love the carnivore life style.
Thank you Dr Berry I can't say this enough I came across your videos on keto end of 2019 I thought I was eating healthy very high carbs I immediately I went keto best thing I did my health greatly improved I am not on a medication Thank God I have a home blood pressure machine and I check my blood pressure monthly all good Once again Thank you Dr Berry May God continue protecting you Neisha children and family ❤❤❤
I know that when I was vegan I thought this was the best diet for humanity. but I started to get disenchanted when I had problems with oxilates. they don't tell you about the plants having things that will harm you. So then I started to look around and found carnivore. Since I have been eating this way I have felt so much better.
"We all have an uncle who started smoking when he was 12, all the way until he was 92." And it finally got him! LOL But seriously...thank you, Dr. Berry, for helping us unpack these inflammatory headlines, which knock even the most committed keto-ers, carnivores and low carbers among us off balance for a minute. All it takes is that little bit of doubt to send us right back into the arms of big food.
That first article was from Harvard’s T.H. Chang School of Nutritional Disinformation. Nutritional Epidemiology is such an astounding waste of time and money. Instead of doing these weekly hit pieces; Harvard should save its money and either close Chang for good, or do actual interventional research pitting carnivore head-to-head against a vegan diet. Run the study for ten years and only look at hard outcomes, no proxy markers. They’ll never do this study.
Bro! My mom was a virtually lifelong vegetarian and she had horrendous, horrible, aggressive vascular dementia brought on by a hemorrhagic stroke at age 78. She never ate red meat! Not since the 1960's. I had to take care of her in the last 4 years of her life. It was dreadful to see. Red meat causes dementia??!! Like processed food and PUFA causes health. Good grief.
A recent dietician on an Australian radio science show told us carnivore farts would be sulphurous The same dietician last time she was on told us we'd get scurvy The same dietician several years ago told us we would get a heart attack after only 6 months on Atkins or keto
@seidnettzueinander9122 house pets are usually fed retail pet foods. The pets get obese and arthritic (or pancreatitis or cancer, ) and die too soon just like humans.
I don't eat as much beef as I should as a keto-carnivore of almost 9 months... and I went from 134 to 107! And yes I fart SO much less as a keto-vore. My problem though was the peanut oil. I'm also doing this as a result of watching many of your vids Dr Berry! Last April I was addicted to ramen (making them like stir fry noodles with veg) after having it once a day EVERY DAY for a year. Now I have no food addiction!
I think I'll stick with my risk factors, because on the standard diet I was overweight with brain fog and immense inflammation. On the risk factor diet inflammation is going away, and my brain now works, plus I've lost loads of weight. People look at who is benefiting or paying for these studies.
These articles make me so angry. Now all my non PHD family and friends are getting after me about my healthy high meat lifestyle. Observation research. Low risks values. Studies are done by big Pharmaceutical. What else were these people eating? What health habits were they living? People are eating less meat but the health in America is at the worst. Explain that? What can we do about this misleading information????
I tell friends that, if meat was so unhealthy, as a species, how did we ever survive? I say something similar about sun as I never apply very unhealthy, toxic sunscreens
1. Madison Avenue trendmakers can't make big prophets from family farms and small ranches. 2. Big food would collapse if it couldn't sustain itself by high-priced frankenfood that cost little to make and proliferates across 90% of the grocery aisles. 3. Big healthcare, a.k.a. "big symptom treatment", would wither away to less than half its size if we just refused to let ourselves be slowly poisoned like this. 4. Government corruption would be massively rolled back if "we the people" demanded that all the above be outlawed to the extent that it's constitutional. Just that would bring a new American or global, Renaissance!
It's kinda interesting that all the societies that focused on agriculture all mysteriously died off. Like the Mayans and so many more. There is a reason our father rejected Cain's grains that he worked so hard to grow, and accepted Able's lamb.
Can we use an association to go after these publishers who lie like this? Or even to reduce the articles that are misleading? If we get enough support and some funding, perhaps this is possible, and we can improve the health of the whole country / world as a result!
My Ldl after being carnivore went up to 377. See Dr Feb . She's gonna try to throw drugs at me I already told her nurse from a phone call after she said Dr want me on one. How do I word. Been telling her I am not ever going on cholesterol meds!
I am really enjoying this format. It is so sad that people are still allowing themselves to be brainwashed by MSM. Guess their bad health isn't screaming enough at them!
Today i went in for a colonoscopy. After in my groggy stupper, I was told I needed to eat more fiber. 😮 No judgement, but in retaliation I ordeted a dbl cheese burger from Sonic. Hadnt eaten in two days so I needed both beef patties and pickles.
Another Carnivore praise report! My sister in law was diagnosed with genetic Hyperlipidemia in her 20’s and put on statins and advised to eat mainly vegetarian. Fast forward to today- I had advised she try Carnivore because what she had been doing hasn’t been working. Last year her total cholesterol was 457, LDL was 386, ratio was 7.6 and her CAC was 4. Today after just roughly 3 months eating mostly Carnivore, high fat, no gluten, carbs under 20g her CAC SCORE is down to 1, her total cholesterol is now 264, LDL is 189, HDL is 64. She is healing and on her way to being free of those damn statins! 🎉
No weight loss since September. I started last June and have only lost 20 lbs. The only dairy I eat is a little cream in my coffee. I just keep losing and gaining the same 4 lbs. It's very frustrating.
As long as youre shape shifting the right way youre good. A lot of wonderful things are happening in your body. Gaining muscle and losing fat. Take measurements.
I love Carnivore! And fasting is amazing! Both work! Love you guys. I have been following you guys for like 4 years. I have lost 20 lbs like 2 years ago and maintained it but my problem is I love a good cold beer and a Margaritas with the girls 2, 3 times a week. If I could kick those bad habits, I would be great! All my numbers are good. My blood pressure bottom number sometimes is in the 90, but blood work is all good. I do have afib and I did go to the Er because my heart rate was crazy for over an hour and they called it Holiday heart cause I had a few glasses of wine
Dr. Ken you have mentioned the following in your PHD Guidebook: "Glazes and Sauces: Many sauces and glazes contain sugars, corn syrup, and other high-carb ingredients. Skip these unless you make your own that are cooked in seed oils." Don't you think seed oils are unhealthy?
All I want for Christmas is you and Dr Georgia Ede to do a chat about her research and work to help others with mental health issues using carnivore and keto diet. She was awesome on DOAC the other day. Her work is so important. Please consider it ❤
How can they get any correct information on dementia on a study like this. How can you ask someone that has dementia if they ate meat how are they going to know if they eat meat or not they have dementia !!!
The Keto Community needs to be more aware of Anchoring Bias. People tend to cling to the first info that they have heard about any given subject. In this context, people hear about the food pyramid before they hear about keto. Therefore they resist, or are skeptical, about keto. Dr Ken Berry overcame his Anchoring Bias when he was trying resolve his own health issues.
I have Graves and Hyperthyroidism is this diet good for me. I’ve been on it for almost 2 weeks. I am feeling better already. I have gained muscle back.
I told my stepdad the other day who is a biochemist and is now a consultant for different food companies. He is project based. I told him that i had bad RA for a while now and when it got unbearable i turned to youtube and discovered the carnivore diet and that my symptoms subsided within 3 days and were 90 percent gone within a week. He obviously said it was very unhealthy to eat only beef, fish and poultry and drink milk, kefir and coffee and water. And then proceeded to say that i had RA because i have 12 cats. And then i said, okay but CDiet helped me, if RA were due to cats wouldnt it NOT stop rather than stop, the symptoms I mean. To which he said that youtube channels that do health podcasts are there to earn money via ads. And then i asked again okay but it helped me so what gives? My question got ignored again and i was told not to take these channels seriously. Then i asked how would i check if cats are causing my RA (which he theorized that cats are causing fruits and veggies to cause my inflammation) to which i was told that its impossible to find out whether cats are causing my "allergies" to fruits, veggies and tea. ( At this point i would like to point out again that this person had Masters of Science even. And attended a very good university in Ankara called METU. Middle Eastern Technical University, biochemistry. And when i asked, what about scientific studies on these issues. And that isnt it also true that Big Pharma and Big Foods are keeping people sick on purpose so that people buy more meds to cloak their symptoms, i was just ignored. This was 3 days ago. My own stepdad still hasnt answered. And mind you the most scary thing is that he is not a ahole he is not evil he never committed crime he never beat my mom or my half brothers he is always polite he will always help out with borrowing a couple hundred bucks. He is your average Joe. And yet my jaw literally dropped and i was in shock after that convo. Like if i didnt think for myself and not trust anyone i would still be sleeping 14 hours a day due to joint pain and then productive only for 3-4 hours with mild soreness and back to really bad pain.
@@Cheerful.Flourish and he will do what? Say, yes you were absolutely right? What a lot of people don't understand is that science has left the chat a long time ago. Most doctors or scientists that reject anything that goes against the grain reject it not because they have proof to the contrary they do it religiously. The way a Christian wouldn't pray to Allah and a Muslim wouldnt pray to Jesus. If he would have a argument based Convo with me about it, I could allow for a possibility that he may come around. But he shut it down immediately within 5 minutes provided no arguments and proceeded with an lunatic theory that cats cause allergies that in turn make fruits cause inflammation in my joints and then had nothing to say when I asked then why and how did my symptoms subside. This is literally like when they would execute epileptic people because they would deem epileptic people witches. The irony is that one ff my half brothers who he fathered with my mom has epilepsy and is on meds that affect his cognitive abilities severely especially in his left hemisphere of the brain. The irony is that the dude is acting like those aholes that would execute the eiileptics while I have come across many guests on podcasts and in the comments who say that people close to them with epilepsy, autism, ADHD, etc. had major MAJOR relief of symptoms and improvement in cognition after going keto or carnivore so basically cutting out all sugar processed or otherwise.
Love your channel , it's a game changer . 64 y/o male diabetic . started this journey 1/1/25 down 16# 3" around my middle . blood glucose down dramatically . my question do you recommend k2 and d3 or k2+d3 together ? also , when is the best time for weight loss to use an eliptical at the beginning , middle , or end of a fast ?
Yes actually my son just got a deer not too long ago and he bought a grinder he has been grinding up some of that meat for like hamburger. And he just bought some other sort of meet he's going to grind in with the deer meat
I use vegetables for spices on my meat. I enjoy sea fish, for my iodine, chicken for liver and fat, and my waistband for monitoring! Eggs in butter and bacon grease! I do enjoy dill pickles for flavoring my hotdogs! I cheat, but now I know I’m cheating! I know better than to over do a cheat! I drink black coffee ☕️ or add heavy cream to it, for my fat intake. Sugar scares me, and scared people lose their appetite. I keep my food simple! If I’m eating ribeyes, I order the biggest they have! I use olive oil on my food, in the air fryer, to hold my seasoning 🧂 mostly! I don’t push my diet, because most people aren’t interested in their health! I attended Christmas dinner with my retirees, and two of them died a couple days after! They seemed healthy and looked good, good weight, so I was surprised 😳
We have just started yesterday. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I think it's primarily the prepping to make sure we have lunches to take to work. Breakfast and dinner are relatively easy. But how do I know if I'm eating enough? At 7am I ate 2 scrambled eggs and 2 pieces of bacon. I was full. Then around 10 I'm getting hungry again. I are a little butter with some salt and that seemed to help🤷 thanks
I am still much heavier than I should be after a lifetime of obesity and diet struggles since childhood. High T2D risk as 2 of my immediate family have it. Was definitely insulin resistant. Was almost completely carnivore and high fat for a year (included some dairy, instant coffee and a little 90% dark choc). Had to have some bloods done. A1c (to my delight!) Normal. Triglycerides Low. HDL Above recommended levels. Overall cholesterol and LDL both higher than Dr wanted, but, because I was "informed", I was not worried and declined statins. Although weight loss was slow after first couple of stone, obviously hidden things were healing! I also take a regular high dose of D3/K2, which fatter people need because it's fat soluble, and you need more to raise your levels than thin people do. Too technical for me to explain well but that is my understanding! 😂 I don't take any prescribed meds and my aim is to stay that way. I hope more flab will gradually come off over time! In my 60s now. Thank you Dr Berry!
How come cows are blamed for 'climate change ' meanwhile farmers will tell you horses fart more than cows.Could it be horses are predominantly a wealthy persons passion?
I have a question. Does this particular way of eating "induce" fasting? I'm not new to fasting and I'm not new to carnivore. I've gone off over circumstances beyond my control. (Yes BEYOND my control) I am finally getting back to it and I am so thankful for that. However, since starting back up, I have been "fasting" as well. Not because I make a conscious decision to, but because I don't have a desire to eat or feel hungry for 18 hr stretches or so. Is this common? Should I be forcing myself to eat? I'm not tired. My energy level has picked up since starting back. I just wondered if this would be a problem.
This is normal. Without trying, I fell into a 16:8 pattern, but occasionally I don't feel like eating for longer times... went just over 3 days once before I felt like eating again. Most of my "longer" fasts have been b/n 24-36 hours. And I don't plan them, they just happen.
@laurahudson8210 Thank you! I am so glad I'm not the only one! 🤣 I like to eat. But if I force myself to eat something, then I am hungry ALL DAY. I have 50 yrs of bad choices to contend with and eating carnivore is the only thing that has made me feel as good as I did when I was a child. Like I said, I have fasted before but it was a choice I made. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything abnormal. At my age, with the required nutrition that comes with age, I want to get this right. 😉
My 76 year old husband has both copd and pulmonary fibrosis, he quit smoking 15 years ago, but the fibrosis is a setback. would the keto or carnivore diet be of any benefit to him?
QQQ just got my blood tests and my platelets were quite low 104 range is 140-400 and i am a bit worried was told to eat leafy veggies and berries and kiwi and nuts I wanna have your thoughts on this and what could be causing this issue they have been around 135 and up the last year but like i said its at 104 not what could be causing it and how can i fix it ? thank you cheers from Vulcan Canada
I wanted to know your thoughts on the articles I’ve read recently about human hair and duck feathers and hog hair being an acceptable part of our food supply. It is utterly disgusting and was hoping that you do some research on it like I did.
PETA to roll up to Harrisburg chicken restaurant: ‘No one needs to eat meat’ "Hell on Wheels" Updated: Jan. 22, 2025, 10:28 a.m. |Published: Jan. 22, 2025, 8:53 a.m. Talk about insane articles!
I just started carnivore 2weeks ago. I had headaches but soon was at omad. I got some bad chicken in premade meal. Started throwing up at 4am and still at it with diarrhea. I’m so disappointed that it will be a start over
You have to switch over slowly. Get rid of processed carbs and just eat more meat, fat and whole foods. Eat that for a month then start cutting down the plant matter. It takes time to become fat afapated
It's not a start over. I remember starting last february and feeling quite sick a couple wee,ks in and needed a gingerale to get me through the night. To my astonishment, the next day i was still in ketosis. You're good. Keep at it!!!
Been on carnivore for 5 months. Was eating strict beef, butter for cooking, bacon and eggs. 4 weeks ago my weight stalled after losing over 30lbs. I started adding a chunk of butter whisked into my coffee in the morning and added more on top of my steaks when eating and within 2 weeks the weight has started moving again, another 7lbs down! I think I was not getting enough fat so my body was holding onto it! It is trial and error, you just have to play around with it and find what works for you!
I told my doctor last week at my annual appointment about the carnivore diet and he told me that the brain needs glucose, thus some carbs are okay. I didn't know what to say to that so I went home and looked it up and discovered that the liver makes glucose from the amino acids in meat. Guess I'll tell him that next year at my annual appointment, because I only see him once a year.
You have a poorly informed doctor.... as do probably 75% or more of the general public 🤔
Haha, the brain does burn a lot of glucose! Doesn't mean we have to try and eat it while whacking the whole system with a 100+ gram intake of it all at once 😂
Maybe forward him or her before next yr. Going to the dr. Is a chance for them to give u a prescription.. so they can make more money. Good luck
You can write him a letter. Tell him he got you to thinking and you did a little reseatch and this is what you found.
I meant fire him or her. Change Dr's or do not go at all

Been eating the PHD for 7 years! Started with Keto, now ketovore (mostly meat base) for 5 years! 72 y.o., no meds! Work 40 hours a week, standing 8 hours a day! Loving life 🎉
At first I was going to crack a disrespectful joke, but I read on to discover you're 72, which rendered my pervy joke obsolete. It's clear what PHD you've been eating for 7 years. Anyways, sorry. ☺️
You deserve a HUZZAH!
Hope to be just like you in 5 years😊
I only listen to you,Dr Berry and Dr Shawn Baker! I'm doing great on Ketovore! I'm 67 and feel great!!!
Same here
....and don't forget : Dr.ERIC BERG!!!!!!!
I'm also 67 😊 So ketovore is keto with more meat? Still some carbs? I like the keto diet and lost 20lbs in first 2 months. How does one become ketovore?

Only? There are many like minded doctors and content creators who are great too.
Maybe give some others a listen.
Wait, Dr. Ken. I have a use for this study and this great video: I'm teaching my undergrad research course and need an example like this to help me explain faulty research. You are a life-saver! I will be showing this video in class and going over this "study" to show what is NOT academic research! By the way, I've been almost at optimum weight (used to weigh in the 190s, now weigh in the 160s) for almost 3 years now because I found you 3 years ago. Just turned 63 last week and no longer feel like I have to succumb to all the internal diseases my loving, late parents suffered. Thanks and hope to meet you and Neisha one day!
Look up Dr Zoe Harcombe. Her website debunks studies like these in depth every week.
Dr Ken Berry is a true compass of the truth when it comes to our health. I made an incredible transition from being fat and sick and loaded up on medication. I am fit, lift weights and at 70 in June I feel and look great. No more meds. No more Type 2 Diabetes, no prostate cancer, no heartburn and my abs are showing not as defined as I am trying to get but I eat like a lion. Eat until I am full. No cravings either. Do it to save yourself! Thank you Dr Ken Berry!
Me too
Me too, at 70, I went carnivore 3 months ago, feeling good
@@Beholder777 keep up the good work! Stay healthy!
I was admitted to hospital and diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and a stent and defibrillator were implanted. I weighed 274 pounds and am 6’4”. My A1C was 9. Afterwards, I eventually adopted a low carb diet which has evolved into a ketavore diet. In the last 18 months, I have lost 80 pounds and have stopped glyburide and metformin with the help of a CGM and my average blood sugar for past 14 days is 94. I feel much better
My dr was the one who told me to listen to you. I have liver disease
Wow lucky you 😮
My switch to keto brought about a noticeable improvement in short term and long term memory in 4 months. Your own knowledge, from your own learning, your own conclusions, your own decisions.
That is great! Keep up the good work!
Love these reviews of ridiculous articles! Thanks for keeping us informed, Dr. Berry!
In less than 1 year my 81year old stepdad has reversed T2 diabetes that he’d had for over 20 years by eating a proper human diet!
I am so excited! I met a fellow Carnivore yesterday at my store and she and I were both on the same health journey. Lisa a two year carnivore and I a one year carnivore this month! We are both healed! ❤
my favorite doctor on earth. DR KEN BERRY
🙏🙏🙏
A plant based diet nearly killed me. I was starving myself of nutrition. RA was off the charts, and i was overweight. Ketovore now, and slowly healing thanks to Dr. Berry.
Same A lifetime of raw organic vegetarian diet with all its oxalates nearly killed me. Brain fog dizziness asthma fatigue back pain gone
I went completely Carnivore 5 years ago and I have just had a book published- not self published - carnivore cleared my thinking and I went for it - thank you ❤
Can you link to your book, would love to support you!
@@Stefaniedavis777 My book is not about carnivore- it’s a memoir. Xx
Thank you Dr Berry, after researching many presentations by different MD's online, I have come to trust you the most because of your straightforward explanations.
It’s simple Doc. Follow the money.
@hardtruth2039 And, they have an agenda: Tesla driving vegans playing on TikTok all day. Pretty easy to control.
lol! We have a Tesla and my husband says I’m ’right of Genghis Khan’! We aren’t all vegans ❤
Got a phone call yesterday from dr. My LDL has shot way up, a1c normal, I have optimal tri:hdl ratio, along with pattern A fluffy LDL, low BMI and chronic urticaria is under control. My metabolismgot better accordingto metab testing i had 3 mths from when i started keto (high protein, high fat). I printed out LMHR study to share with him (i meet all the markers), since his first response was that I'll need to start statins. I'm on clean ketovore diet, low glycemic, low oxylate veg. No processed shit. I've lost weight and post meno symptoms are gone. I plan to ask for CAC scan if he pushes statins.
A tiny list of keto/carnivores who have not died after years on the diet: Kelly Hogan, 16 ish years; Rick (Charger Mopar) 41 years carnivore; Maggie Smith carnivore 65 years (still runs her own cattle ranch in Canada. She is 85 and looks about 65. There are so many more.
And Dr. Lisa Wiedeman (Carnivore Doctor) 15 years
Thank you Dr Berry , you and Dr Chaffee are simply the best! ❤
Thank you dr berry for highlighting and exposing these sheddy studies and reports. They are clearly misleading. I like a questioning mindset and professional curiosity. Carnivore diet gives personal evidence and experience, this is my claim from my personal experience. I’m enjoying the energy I’m experiencing and the health benefits are humongous 🙏🏾❤❤❤
Love your videos Dr. Berry. Found you shortly after being diagnosed on Nov 11th. Went low carb right away (made some mistakes), then two meals 16/8 the last month plus treadmill. Saw the diabetes Doc finally Jan 17th. Old numbers were, 11.9 304 put on Metformin, 247 pounds and bp 150/90. 67 days later, new numbers are 6.6 85 taken off Metformin, 211 pounds and bp 115/75. These videos are a life saver. I'm a 57 year old male.
3:50 Wow, so they say "red meat", but the study is about processed meat ( and only correlational) , and yet the pictures are of pure red meat. This is criminal
The nurses study is the one that asks "how much of these foods did you eat over the last 5 years" and also the answers that code to "red meat" include "burgers" despite those including bread, salad, large fries, and a bucket of coke
If you listen to MSM; legacy media; then you are already lost. 🏴🇬🇧
Im a 40 yo woman and my testosterone was at 12. My doctor told me "normal" is 9-50for women my age. I started TRT last year in March and my levels went up to 75 with multiple follow up tests. I started carnivor on August 3rd. My testosterone result in December was 240!!! My doctor is certain that is carnivore that changed my levels so drastically. I have adjusted my TRT and just redid labs today to see where i am...eagerly awaiting my results. May be discontinuing TRT 😊 I feel great! My husband and i fully agree with your friend about the food industry lowering our testosterone on purpose. Soy is in everything!
You will discontinue now to have to back on it 5 years later...h r lucky you can get it at all. Nobody will give me trt and I am in n menopause and my t level is almost zero
@iss8504 Although TRT has been great i hope i don't have to go back on TRT and carnivore will keep my levels up. Id prefer that my body functions normally without any supplements. I had to do a lot of searching to find a doctor who understands the importance of testosterone for women and that women actually have more testosterone than estrogen. It's unfortunate that testosterone has gotten such a bad wrap and has become taboo. I am bless to have found my doctor who also supports carnivore diet. I have to drive two hours to see him but it is so worth it. I hope you can find a wise doctor for yourself!
THANK YOU DOCTOR BERRY
Dr Berry keeping it real.
If you control the food you can control the people
I believe a reason to try and deter people from this diet for medicines. If we are healthier we do not need all of these expensive medicine.
My first thought was most non-keto eaters will have their hot dog with a hot dog BUN or their bologna with WHITE BREAD or their bacon with TOAST. Perhaps the risk factors were linked to the accompanying carbs/sugar intake of these highly processed add ons.
Some times the orange juice gets you! Another healthy food to ruin your health, it’s got a lot of sugar it raises in your blood!
I order Double Dogs at Portillo’s, to save buns carbs! My vegetables intake is on the dogs, and unsweetened tea! I get double or triple cheeseburgers for the same reason! I’ve been pretty regular there eating lunch, for the last few months, and haven’t gained weight, even if I get a double cheeseburger with it! I try to eat one meal a day, and fast till the next day!
I started carnivore on November 18th and didn't cheat over Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Year. I drank one beer. And never really noticed the weight loss but I started at 320 pounds and today I'm 275 pounds. I did carnivore because the cardiovascular doctor said I had to lower my LDL. Statins and Rapatha.
I don't care what my LDL is even though it was within the parameters they said he wanted it lower then the normal person. I go back in April and I will have a lipid panel done by my oncologist and act like I've taked the cardiovascular doctor's crap that would have made me a diabetic. I feel great and I am constantly cleaning and organizing with a very sharp focus. I sleep 6 to 6 1/2 hours and no anxiety or depression. At 66 years old I'm going full speed ahead. Love the carnivore life style.
I thought I was the only one requiring less sleep and continue high energy levels. I tell my grandkids I guess I am having ADHD. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just tell them the truth. They'll never learn a thing if you don't tell them what your inputs are.
I love being on Carnivore diet. I feel great.
Not getting any sicknesses at work any more. We are optimal.😊
Thanks Dr. Berry for all your help and hard work
Thank you Dr Berry
I can't say this enough
I came across your videos on keto end of 2019 I thought I was eating healthy very high carbs
I immediately I went keto best thing I did my health greatly improved
I am not on a medication
Thank God
I have a home blood pressure machine and I check my blood pressure monthly all good
Once again
Thank you Dr Berry
May God continue protecting you Neisha children and family ❤❤❤
I know that when I was vegan I thought this was the best diet for humanity. but I started to get disenchanted when I had problems with oxilates. they don't tell you about the plants having things that will harm you. So then I started to look around and found carnivore. Since I have been eating this way I have felt so much better.
Well done 👏👏👏😋🍽🥩🧈🥓🥚❤️
"We all have an uncle who started smoking when he was 12, all the way until he was 92." And it finally got him! LOL But seriously...thank you, Dr. Berry, for helping us unpack these inflammatory headlines, which knock even the most committed keto-ers, carnivores and low carbers among us off balance for a minute. All it takes is that little bit of doubt to send us right back into the arms of big food.
That first article was from Harvard’s T.H. Chang School of Nutritional Disinformation.
Nutritional Epidemiology is such an astounding waste of time and money. Instead of doing these weekly hit pieces; Harvard should save its money and either close Chang for good, or do actual interventional research pitting carnivore head-to-head against a vegan diet. Run the study for ten years and only look at hard outcomes, no proxy markers.
They’ll never do this study.
Thank you Dr B!!!
MY favorite is Dr Berry and Dr. Ovadia... both are articulate and brilliant. Lots of substance and I learn everytime.
Bro! My mom was a virtually lifelong vegetarian and she had horrendous, horrible, aggressive vascular dementia brought on by a hemorrhagic stroke at age 78. She never ate red meat! Not since the 1960's. I had to take care of her in the last 4 years of her life. It was dreadful to see. Red meat causes dementia??!! Like processed food and PUFA causes health. Good grief.
As always a fantastic video
Eating a meat heavy diet decreases brain fog. We cannot be easily controlled if we are capable of independent thought
Always follow the money. They think people are not smart enough to figure it out.
But they are wrong 😊
Absolutely agree 💯
Well, you can try to follow the science, but you won't find any. Following the money is where we find the science.
Yes, the flatulence is very minimal on carnivore; so is the scent.
A recent dietician on an Australian radio science show told us carnivore farts would be sulphurous
The same dietician last time she was on told us we'd get scurvy
The same dietician several years ago told us we would get a heart attack after only 6 months on Atkins or keto
but dog and cat farts smell horrible...
@seidnettzueinander9122 house pets are usually fed retail pet foods. The pets get obese and arthritic (or pancreatitis or cancer, ) and die too soon just like humans.
Keep up the good work ❤
I don't eat as much beef as I should as a keto-carnivore of almost 9 months... and I went from 134 to 107!
And yes I fart SO much less as a keto-vore. My problem though was the peanut oil.
I'm also doing this as a result of watching many of your vids Dr Berry! Last April I was addicted to ramen (making them like stir fry noodles with veg) after having it once a day EVERY DAY for a year. Now I have no food addiction!
I think I'll stick with my risk factors, because on the standard diet I was overweight with brain fog and immense inflammation. On the risk factor diet inflammation is going away, and my brain now works, plus I've lost loads of weight. People look at who is benefiting or paying for these studies.
These articles make me so angry. Now all my non PHD family and friends are getting after me about my healthy high meat lifestyle. Observation research. Low risks values. Studies are done by big Pharmaceutical. What else were these people eating? What health habits were they living? People are eating less meat but the health in America is at the worst. Explain that?
What can we do about this misleading information????
I tell friends that, if meat was so unhealthy, as a species, how did we ever survive? I say something similar about sun as I never apply very unhealthy, toxic sunscreens
Excellent doc!
1. Madison Avenue trendmakers can't make big prophets from family farms and small ranches.
2. Big food would collapse if it couldn't sustain itself by high-priced frankenfood that cost little to make and proliferates across 90% of the grocery aisles.
3. Big healthcare, a.k.a. "big symptom treatment", would wither away to less than half its size if we just refused to let ourselves be slowly poisoned like this.
4. Government corruption would be massively rolled back if "we the people" demanded that all the above be outlawed to the extent that it's constitutional. Just that would bring a new American or global, Renaissance!
Absolutely!
It's kinda interesting that all the societies that focused on agriculture all mysteriously died off. Like the Mayans and so many more. There is a reason our father rejected Cain's grains that he worked so hard to grow, and accepted Able's lamb.
Ja, and cooking down the hog fat making cookies is the best!
This great channel☀️
I refer to our health as " hell-th". it is HEALING and HEALED!
Can we use an association to go after these publishers who lie like this? Or even to reduce the articles that are misleading? If we get enough support and some funding, perhaps this is possible, and we can improve the health of the whole country / world as a result!
Yeah this free speech thing is going a little too far if you ask me anything. So many people believe all the lies.
My Ldl after being carnivore went up to 377. See Dr Feb . She's gonna try to throw drugs at me I already told her nurse from a phone call after she said Dr want me on one. How do I word.
Been telling her I am not ever going on cholesterol meds!
NO
I am really enjoying this format. It is so sad that people are still allowing themselves to be brainwashed by MSM. Guess their bad health isn't screaming enough at them!
I strictly limit my red meat consumption to 100% or less of my total calories.
In response to Robert Brown @ 26:00
The burden of proof belongs to the one making the claim.
Today i went in for a colonoscopy. After in my groggy stupper, I was told I needed to eat more fiber. 😮 No judgement, but in retaliation I ordeted a dbl cheese burger from Sonic. Hadnt eaten in two days so I needed both beef patties and pickles.
I feel sorry for my high fibre eating friends, the noises they make using the toilet. Poo takes me less time than peeing
I've reversed my t2d and lowered my triglycerides to normal.!
What did you eat I’m 312 and was told the same after blood work.
Another Carnivore praise report! My sister in law was diagnosed with genetic Hyperlipidemia in her 20’s and put on statins and advised to eat mainly vegetarian. Fast forward to today- I had advised she try Carnivore because what she had been doing hasn’t been working. Last year her total cholesterol was 457, LDL was 386, ratio was 7.6 and her CAC was 4. Today after just roughly 3 months eating mostly Carnivore, high fat, no gluten, carbs under 20g her CAC SCORE is down to 1, her total cholesterol is now 264, LDL is 189, HDL is 64. She is healing and on her way to being free of those damn statins! 🎉
I’m sure processed carbs (hot dog buns, etc) were eating alongside with those processed meats. Why wasn’t that reported on?
Meat over wheat!
Good news, too many ppl will avoid it and it will be cheaper to buy 😊
😂hopefully ribeye prices go down due to their‘scare tactics’🤣
Well processed sausages ect here in Australia are full of plant material and seed oils. Their putting their crap into meat products to make us sick.
Sausage in the US has sugar...can't find without...
Ive noticed when I eat only salmon and sardines, I feel a lot better. My CGM stays absolutely flat!
Trying a roast this evening....
No weight loss since September. I started last June and have only lost 20 lbs. The only dairy I eat is a little cream in my coffee. I just keep losing and gaining the same 4 lbs. It's very frustrating.
As long as youre shape shifting the right way youre good. A lot of wonderful things are happening in your body. Gaining muscle and losing fat. Take measurements.
You may want to try intermittent fasting if you have not.
I love Carnivore! And fasting is amazing! Both work! Love you guys. I have been following you guys for like 4 years. I have lost 20 lbs like 2 years ago and maintained it but my problem is I love a good cold beer and a Margaritas with the girls 2, 3 times a week. If I could kick those bad habits, I would be great! All my numbers are good. My blood pressure bottom number sometimes is in the 90, but blood work is all good. I do have afib and I did go to the Er because my heart rate was crazy for over an hour and they called it Holiday heart cause I had a few glasses of wine
Dr. Ken you have mentioned the following in your PHD Guidebook:
"Glazes and Sauces: Many sauces and glazes contain sugars, corn syrup, and other high-carb ingredients. Skip these unless you make your own that are cooked in seed oils."
Don't you think seed oils are unhealthy?
I’m sure the word “not” was mistakenly omitted.
@@Thefatcat7764 Yes, thought so.
He's right, I used to fart til the cows came home, now I don't fart.
I love The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith
All I want for Christmas is you and Dr Georgia Ede to do a chat about her research and work to help others with mental health issues using carnivore and keto diet. She was awesome on DOAC the other day. Her work is so important. Please consider it ❤
Do a search. I think it’s already happened
@gordonstewart8258 omg your right thank you so much 💓
How can they get any correct information on dementia on a study like this. How can you ask someone that has dementia if they ate meat how are they going to know if they eat meat or not they have dementia !!!
The Keto Community needs to be more aware of Anchoring Bias. People tend to cling to the first info that they have heard about any given subject. In this context, people hear about the food pyramid before they hear about keto. Therefore they resist, or are skeptical, about keto. Dr Ken Berry overcame his Anchoring Bias when he was trying resolve his own health issues.
I have Graves and Hyperthyroidism is this diet good for me. I’ve been on it for almost 2 weeks. I am feeling better already. I have gained muscle back.
I told my stepdad the other day who is a biochemist and is now a consultant for different food companies. He is project based. I told him that i had bad RA for a while now and when it got unbearable i turned to youtube and discovered the carnivore diet and that my symptoms subsided within 3 days and were 90 percent gone within a week. He obviously said it was very unhealthy to eat only beef, fish and poultry and drink milk, kefir and coffee and water. And then proceeded to say that i had RA because i have 12 cats. And then i said, okay but CDiet helped me, if RA were due to cats wouldnt it NOT stop rather than stop, the symptoms I mean. To which he said that youtube channels that do health podcasts are there to earn money via ads. And then i asked again okay but it helped me so what gives? My question got ignored again and i was told not to take these channels seriously. Then i asked how would i check if cats are causing my RA (which he theorized that cats are causing fruits and veggies to cause my inflammation) to which i was told that its impossible to find out whether cats are causing my "allergies" to fruits, veggies and tea. ( At this point i would like to point out again that this person had Masters of Science even. And attended a very good university in Ankara called METU. Middle Eastern Technical University, biochemistry. And when i asked, what about scientific studies on these issues. And that isnt it also true that Big Pharma and Big Foods are keeping people sick on purpose so that people buy more meds to cloak their symptoms, i was just ignored. This was 3 days ago. My own stepdad still hasnt answered. And mind you the most scary thing is that he is not a ahole he is not evil he never committed crime he never beat my mom or my half brothers he is always polite he will always help out with borrowing a couple hundred bucks. He is your average Joe. And yet my jaw literally dropped and i was in shock after that convo. Like if i didnt think for myself and not trust anyone i would still be sleeping 14 hours a day due to joint pain and then productive only for 3-4 hours with mild soreness and back to really bad pain.
Actually I have way more than 12 cats but last he checked I had only 12.
I think he wants you to get rid of some of the kitty’s! Decisions decisions!
@@hans-jurgenwiegand7465 that doesn't render his comments about the carnivore diet not insane.
@@Cheerful.Flourish and he will do what? Say, yes you were absolutely right? What a lot of people don't understand is that science has left the chat a long time ago. Most doctors or scientists that reject anything that goes against the grain reject it not because they have proof to the contrary they do it religiously. The way a Christian wouldn't pray to Allah and a Muslim wouldnt pray to Jesus. If he would have a argument based Convo with me about it, I could allow for a possibility that he may come around. But he shut it down immediately within 5 minutes provided no arguments and proceeded with an lunatic theory that cats cause allergies that in turn make fruits cause inflammation in my joints and then had nothing to say when I asked then why and how did my symptoms subside. This is literally like when they would execute epileptic people because they would deem epileptic people witches. The irony is that one ff my half brothers who he fathered with my mom has epilepsy and is on meds that affect his cognitive abilities severely especially in his left hemisphere of the brain. The irony is that the dude is acting like those aholes that would execute the eiileptics while I have come across many guests on podcasts and in the comments who say that people close to them with epilepsy, autism, ADHD, etc. had major MAJOR relief of symptoms and improvement in cognition after going keto or carnivore so basically cutting out all sugar processed or otherwise.
Love your channel , it's a game changer . 64 y/o male diabetic . started this journey 1/1/25 down 16# 3" around my middle . blood glucose down dramatically . my question do you recommend k2 and d3 or k2+d3 together ? also , when is the best time for weight loss to use an eliptical at the beginning , middle , or end of a fast ?
Yes actually my son just got a deer not too long ago and he bought a grinder he has been grinding up some of that meat for like hamburger. And he just bought some other sort of meet he's going to grind in with the deer meat
My wife has osteoporosis bad we have no insurance is there something we can do, will carnivore help
I use vegetables for spices on my meat. I enjoy sea fish, for my iodine, chicken for liver and fat, and my waistband for monitoring! Eggs in butter and bacon grease! I do enjoy dill pickles for flavoring my hotdogs! I cheat, but now I know I’m cheating! I know better than to over do a cheat! I drink black coffee ☕️ or add heavy cream to it, for my fat intake. Sugar scares me, and scared people lose their appetite. I keep my food simple! If I’m eating ribeyes, I order the biggest they have! I use olive oil on my food, in the air fryer, to hold my seasoning 🧂 mostly! I don’t push my diet, because most people aren’t interested in their health! I attended Christmas dinner with my retirees, and two of them died a couple days after! They seemed healthy and looked good, good weight, so I was surprised 😳
Eat 1 a day Robert had me laughing!!!😂
I used to be vegan. I reasoned that, after all, I wouldn't eat my cats because they're obviously sentient. Then I remembered: My cats eat mammals.
I 👍🏾 Doc
Hot dogs depending on the brand do have fillers added. Their study should look at them separately from red meats.
We have just started yesterday. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I think it's primarily the prepping to make sure we have lunches to take to work. Breakfast and dinner are relatively easy.
But how do I know if I'm eating enough? At 7am I ate 2 scrambled eggs and 2 pieces of bacon. I was full. Then around 10 I'm getting hungry again. I are a little butter with some salt and that seemed to help🤷 thanks
Have a question I was diagnosed with type 2 and told my triglycerides were bad. How do I do this carnivore diet. Can I do it and what can I eat?
High-fat carnivore reverses t2 and lowers triglycerides for almost everyone who adopts it.
This is perfect for you.
Prioritize ruminants.
I am still much heavier than I should be after a lifetime of obesity and diet struggles since childhood. High T2D risk as 2 of my immediate family have it. Was definitely insulin resistant. Was almost completely carnivore and high fat for a year (included some dairy, instant coffee and a little 90% dark choc). Had to have some bloods done. A1c (to my delight!) Normal. Triglycerides Low. HDL Above recommended levels. Overall cholesterol and LDL both higher than Dr wanted, but, because I was "informed", I was not worried and declined statins. Although weight loss was slow after first couple of stone, obviously hidden things were healing! I also take a regular high dose of D3/K2, which fatter people need because it's fat soluble, and you need more to raise your levels than thin people do. Too technical for me to explain well but that is my understanding! 😂 I don't take any prescribed meds and my aim is to stay that way. I hope more flab will gradually come off over time! In my 60s now. Thank you Dr Berry!
@ what is Ruminates
@^ Cud-chewing animals.
Beef, lamb, goat, deer, moose etc.
I try to eat ruminants mostly. Then around this I eat pork, fish, poultry, eggs.
How come cows are blamed for 'climate change ' meanwhile farmers will tell you horses fart more than cows.Could it be horses are predominantly a wealthy persons passion?
What about carnivore for CKD.? All the professionals I talk to talk it down. Type 2 Diabetes
I have a question. Does this particular way of eating "induce" fasting? I'm not new to fasting and I'm not new to carnivore. I've gone off over circumstances beyond my control. (Yes BEYOND my control) I am finally getting back to it and I am so thankful for that. However, since starting back up, I have been "fasting" as well. Not because I make a conscious decision to, but because I don't have a desire to eat or feel hungry for 18 hr stretches or so. Is this common? Should I be forcing myself to eat? I'm not tired. My energy level has picked up since starting back. I just wondered if this would be a problem.
This is normal. Without trying, I fell into a 16:8 pattern, but occasionally I don't feel like eating for longer times... went just over 3 days once before I felt like eating again. Most of my "longer" fasts have been b/n 24-36 hours. And I don't plan them, they just happen.
@laurahudson8210 Thank you! I am so glad I'm not the only one! 🤣 I like to eat. But if I force myself to eat something, then I am hungry ALL DAY. I have 50 yrs of bad choices to contend with and eating carnivore is the only thing that has made me feel as good as I did when I was a child. Like I said, I have fasted before but it was a choice I made. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything abnormal. At my age, with the required nutrition that comes with age, I want to get this right. 😉
Sometimes I eat more than usual, then I'm not hungry the following day
Consider the sources...
I participated in The Nurses Health Study.
Was it all recall or did you fill in a log with every meal?
Does it matter how many sparkling waters you drink a day?
The only problem with it is the acid (carbon dioxide in water makes carbonic acid) damaging your teeth
Drink with a straw.
@freckles2437 I'm not sure that protects your back teeth
My 76 year old husband has both copd and pulmonary fibrosis, he quit smoking 15 years ago, but the fibrosis is a setback. would the keto or carnivore diet be of any benefit to him?
My dad was diagnosed with copd and from what the medical staff mentioned a ketogenic diet is beneficial. I would say carnivore is good!
QQQ just got my blood tests and my platelets were quite low 104 range is 140-400 and i am a bit worried was told to eat leafy veggies and berries and kiwi and nuts I wanna have your thoughts on this and what could be causing this issue they have been around 135 and up the last year but like i said its at 104 not what could be causing it and how can i fix it ? thank you cheers from Vulcan Canada
I wanted to know your thoughts on the articles I’ve read recently about human hair and duck feathers and hog hair being an acceptable part of our food supply. It is utterly disgusting and was hoping that you do some research on it like I did.

Talk about insane articles!
I just started carnivore 2weeks ago. I had headaches but soon was at omad. I got some bad chicken in premade meal. Started throwing up at 4am and still at it with diarrhea. I’m so disappointed that it will be a start over
You have to switch over slowly. Get rid of processed carbs and just eat more meat, fat and whole foods. Eat that for a month then start cutting down the plant matter. It takes time to become fat afapated
It's not a start over. I remember starting last february and feeling quite sick a couple wee,ks in and needed a gingerale to get me through the night. To my astonishment, the next day i was still in ketosis. You're good. Keep at it!!!
My husband’s triglycerides are 924!!! The doc said low fat diet but my hubby loves his meat !! I know that’s very high & I’m scared for him
Ken - Can you have Heavy Creme or Colligen in coffee? Or does it stall the weight loss or cause an insulin spike?
I would like to know too
Been on carnivore for 5 months. Was eating strict beef, butter for cooking, bacon and eggs. 4 weeks ago my weight stalled after losing over 30lbs. I started adding a chunk of butter whisked into my coffee in the morning and added more on top of my steaks when eating and within 2 weeks the weight has started moving again, another 7lbs down!
I think I was not getting enough fat so my body was holding onto it!
It is trial and error, you just have to play around with it and find what works for you!
