My husband just had triple bypass & they said to be on low salt & low fat diet. In the hospital they gave him cheerios a muffin & protein drinks with plenty of sugar! I made him a steak when he got home. No sugar, no processed food.
I was recently in a rehab center for a stroke. When they did the intake work to have my likes and dislikes for my meal plans, I specified that I do NOT like cooked peas. What did they serve me 2 different meals? Peas. And enough of them to touch the other food on the plate. To go with my "diabetic" meals.
Dr Walter Kempner in the 40s reversed diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, obesity and kidney disease on a diet of table sugar, white rice and fruit. It was called the RICE diet. This was done at Duke University for decades.
I am a 90-year-old Australian on a small pension living in Thailand most of the meat where I live Is pork or Chicken. I'd love to eat more beef however it is so expensive, I don't drink soders. Coffee no sugar green tea no sugar. My waist is 37 inches. I do not take any medications and haven't had a medical exam in 20 or more years
80-90% of my food is ribeye. Very very low carb. No sugar or processed crap. And I am feeling amazing. Bloodwork is awesome mental health has never been better. Loved your book!! 🙏

My husband was diabetic because of his lung transplant and have to take steroids and numerous other medications I was pre diabetic so 2 years ago we tried the carnivore diet and now both of us are clear of being diabetic plus other benefits more energy keeping our weight stable and just feeling well so thank you for all your help ❤
the fact that most MDs say differently is troubling. there should be unadulterated science one way or the other. I got a pamphlet the other day from one of my Drs - low fat the way to go. What?
I've been carnivore for 18 months. Cured my arthritis and psoriasis in that time. I do have a rare heart condition too - 'congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries' and my cardiologist here in the UK says my heart is in better condition than people 5/10 years younger! I was concerned when I started due to having a heart condition but Dr Ovadia and other DR's convinced me to try it. My blood pressure is nice and low. So much for read meat harming us!
The processed meat I eat is perfectly safe because I make it myself. A hot dog or sausage I consume has nothing but meat, regular salt and curing sale with small amounts of other spices, no sugar, no binders, no modified starch.
@@Miraak1868 Nope I live in the suburbs in SE MI, though I did have a small homestead farm in the seventies and eighties. Now you may choose to limit yourself as you please. I am seventy three and since going carnivore I am inspired to try new things and get new skills. I not only make hot dogs and sausages, I also make bulk pork sausage, which I can. I have even made a version of spam which I also canned. I make bacon regularly, it doesn't last long, from both pork butt and beef brisket. Most of my equipment is the on the cheaper end and the effort needed to make such products is not terribly complicated or difficult.
@@jamesnelson1968 Number one, how did you learn how to do all this stuff? Did someone teach you or did you read how from magazine articles or books? This was all before the internet existed, I presume.
My MD advised me he could call me diabetic due to elevated A1C. Instead he told me to eat more meat and less carbs. A 1C down to 5.3 now! Just ate 12 oz liver with bacon onions and potatoes. Amen 🏋♂️💕
You've made some odd choices there. Red meat increases insulin resistance due to excessive intake of saturated fat. All of your realized health benefits were probably due to weight loss. You were probably eating low quality carbs before. Potatoes are also a bad food for prediabetics; any starchy vegetables are.
This is sooo good. carnivore 4life. I'm sending this to my cardiologist back in Norfolk Virginia. I moved away. I don't want to have receipt one again. He's a pill and shot Pusher. Thank you so much Dr. O❤

@@IFixHeartsa video about doctors and insurance relying on the inaccurate BMI scale would be awesome. My husband like most body builders are “morbidly obese” even if they have 20% or lower body fat. I always wondered why the doctors won’t use a body caliper or the electro scales. The scales are at least a little more accurate than bmi.
Thank you for this informative video, Dr. Ovadia. I'm sharing the link with others. I've been Carnivore for more than two years, and it's made a significant positive difference in my health. I 'm grateful to be able to eat healthy red meat, bacon, and eggs -- wholesome, natural foods with tons of nutrients and that are enjoyable to eat!

i) They don't add sugar to meat, they add High Fructose Corn Syrup. ii) A major (bad ) ingredient in processed meat is MSG (not mentioned in vid), although the food makers sneak in MSG under other names (in the ingredients list). iii) I really love @ 1:52 mentioned that "Limitations on dietary cholesterol have been removed from the dietary guidelines, but it wasn't promoted b/c the government would have to admit that it was wrong all these decades".
Thank you for this video. I am a physician and I can tell you the Doctor is providing here valuable information backed by medical facts. I have a question for the doc , How about cheese? Like good grass fed cheddar or aged Gouda. 😊
I am an almost 80-year-old man. I have watched hundreds of health videos. I have pretty much eliminated the ones that talk about plant-based diets. They don't make any evolutionary sense. I'm not a doctor, but I am pretty well self-taught, reading thousands of articles and watching hundreds and hundreds of videos. I believe in the evolution that we are here today because of what our ancestors did over the past tens of thousands of generations. That's what makes sense. Your short talk had more good information than in almost any video. I don't believe that we are vegan, vegetarians, or carnivores. We are omnivores, and probably one of our strengths as omnivores is that we can eat so many things better than others. We prefer meat when available, but it isn't always available. Also, vegetables that are relatively low in carbohydrates contain a lot of vitamins and minerals, and high-end protein and good animal fats are what make sense. I'm almost 80, and that's what works for me. I had colitis that almost killed me. The only thing that saved my life was Dr. Atkins. Things have evolved since then and gotten better, but he had the basics right: getting away from traditional medicine and going on a low-carb, high-protein, high-fat diet. Keep up the good work. It's one of the better videos I've seen; thank you
Absolutely! I agree 100 percent. I was extraordinarily fortunate to have a visionary primary care physician 20 years ago, when I was 45, and suffering from Syndrome X (Metabolic Syndrome). He put me on Atkins, I was ready to feel better and stuck with it, and I lost 65 pounds. I had the thought after being on this low-carb, high protein, high fat diet for a while that I'd found the Fountain of Youth!
I don’t know how you can eat that much. I do carnivore and 12 oz ribeye is really pushing it for me and I’m a big guy. I do intermittent fasting with a 4 hr feeding window. Do you eat 20oz over three meals or only one meal?
Processed meat seems excessively villainized too, but I agree on clearing red meat’s name. Processed meat seems perfectly fine if other ingredients are ok. Nitrites and nitrates (curing agents) fine too.
@@lonewolf7803 »"Nitrites and nitrates (curing agents) fine too" Is cancer also fine?« Cancer is caused by eating sugar and plant toxins such as oxalates...
I love you Dr. Ovadia you’re definitely one of my favorites for sure! Thank you for this information 🙏🏼. On another note, I love hot dogs. I buy from a grass fed and finished farm and the hotdogs are delish with no sugar and they have garlic in them ♥️.

At 1:48, you mentioned that the recommendation to limit cholesterol has been removed from the dietary guidelines. To which dietary guidelines are you referring? Do you have any links or references you could provide?
Thanks for a great review. One technical point I cannot ignore, @1:00, plants have cell walls, made of cellulose; animals have cell membranes lined with cholesterol. Question, has it ever been found that the adverse event of rhabdomyolysis from statins is due to the reduction of cholesterol at the cell membrane?
Thank you, Dr. Ovadia! I am on a lion diet and I eat a good amount of processed meat, but choose very carefully and as locally as possible so that the product is basically meat, salt, smoke and/or nitrates.
@@royjohnson465 Of course they are harmful. Those are preservatives and the will preserve your organs like a jar of pickles. You are what you eat-in this example, chemicals from a laboratory to keep products on the shelf longer and increase food producers' profits.
More needs to be said regarding the quality of selected red meats: grass-fed, grass-finished, antibiotic-free, etc. It is much more in-depth than “talking to your local rancher’.
My father in law who is 87 now walks for an hour a day (not brisk just normal) and everything he eats is "low fat". He stays away from butter, cheese and red meat cos im sure some big pharma doctor told him to because of "cholesterol". Eats carbs and sugar aswell as veg and some white meat. Then at 82 he had a heart attack. Survived it but has to be on loads of meds for rest of his life. Hes still brainwashed unfortunately so hes still eating the same way. And i used to think he was really "healthy".
Dr. Ovadia you need to have this conversation of a processed meat with Dr Ken Berry. He says processed meats are not dangerous. Processed meats have added sugar and chemicals, to me that's a no brainer.
Thank Dr. Ovadia I have been on carnivore for 3 months I've lost 50 pounds and I feel better everyday. I have 80 more pounds to go. Please do a video on metabolism and how bbbbe can help the heart.
I live in an area where butcher shops and ranchers overcharge BIG TIME! And I no longer trust the beef at the grocery stores. LOVE this way of eating but it has become a serious challenge. Can't afford 1 T-bone for $45. :(
@@grantorino2009 I couldn't agree more! It's scary that a large fraction WILL vote the same! Can't believe newsom would EVER be considered to run a country considering what's happened in his state! Just UGH! LOVE the beef just harder to afford good quality! :(
Private ranchers are bound by law to have their beef slaughtered in a USDA inspected plant. Those are not always available, and when they are, it can require up to a year's advance notice with the slaughter plant for the particular animal is slaughtered. The only real way around this is to sell an entire animal for $1, and charge for "processing services" equivalent to the value of the animal - then they can be slaughtered by mobile butchers. But you're stuck with an entire beef. "Grassfed" or "Grass Fed" (can't remember which but the space between words is key) is an FDA co-opted label with all its various loopholes to make grassfed production commercially viable. Note that the "organic" label allows for up to 5% of non-organic certified ingredients to still be labeled organic. And unskilled grassfed producers can result in a gamey, tough, undernourished animal. Grassfed basically means no grain, but grass is not nutritious year round, so there MUST be workarounds to keep the animals fed. A good alternative would be to look for "branded" beef that is raised, processed and marketed by consortiums of ranchers who bind themselves to high standards, maintain their own processing facilities so they have control over the end product, and do their own marketing under their private brand.
Please give us the best BLOOD TESTS to order to evaluate our Metobolic Heart Health!!🙏💖👍 ie: lipid profile, Apo A, Apo B, Fasting insulin resistance, Fasting GLUCOSE, any others you recommend???
Fasting INSULIN. I'm not mistakenly thinking fasting glucose, or A1C. Your goal is (2-6), over 25 is diabetes. Notice the huge gap between healthy and so bad your doctor is alarmed. This is hyperinsulinemia.
Many thanks, I have avoided red meat for more than six years because of its reported adverse effect on healh.I used tinned fish instead. In the last month I took a chance in having chicken and beef. They keep me filled longer, I feel more whole and satisfied, feeling hungry is not frequent and I feel generally healthier. Meat will continue to be a part of my diet but they say chicken causes cancer because of how the birds are produced and raised. Thank you once again. I forgot to mention that for years my medical test results showed that I was anemic. My white blood cell count was low. Hopefully having meat will correct this. Is it safe to eat chicken?
In my family, "processed foods" (such as sausage) means " kill it (beef, pork, poultry, wild game), butcher it, grind it, season it (natural herbs and spices ONLY..NO SUGARS), cook it and eat it. Super healthy and OH SO TASTY!!!
Yes. Show study. My opinion ..studies ....most are BS. Biased. They are looking for an outcome before they begin. And, the different studies from different organizations are not using the same premise or basis or rules or guidelines that one group used vs another group. He mentions here in this video epidemiology studies where they used " Correlation vs not using " causation " So, we have all these educated and supposedly smart people who can't get studies right. So, who the hell are we supposed to believe ? My conclusion is this....be your own study and do your own due diligence. Read read read all the comments from both sides or all sides . See what you think is best then live how you think all while listening to your body and stay on top of things with random blood tests and hire a good functional / holistic Dr. Good luck
Thank you Mr. Ovadia. Would you be so kind and put links to researches mentioned here to the notes (also to the one that shows no downsides between consuming red meat and heart disease).
@Herbert_Knavs. Don't hold your breath for this. The good doctor is more interested in an Internet based business than science. Maybe he got burned out being a heart surgeon?
I've read Ancel Keys' books and they do not actually say what many people claim that they do. From Eat Well & Stay Well (1959): Cholesterol amounts to 5 or more per cent of solids in the brain and nervous tissue where it is thought it may act as an electrical insulator and where, in any case, it is effectively isolated from the cholesterol in the blood and in the arteries. Cholesterol is also prominent in the adrenal glands, where it may be a supply of material for the manufacture of adrenal hormones, and it is a main ingredient of gallstones. All in all, cholesterol is an important and remarkable substance quite apart from its unfortunate tendency to be deposited in the walls of arteries, thereby producing atherosclerosis. and later in this book... Of course, an easy solution to the problem of fat in the diet would be vegetarianism, but this would be both impractical and unnecessary in our opinion.
Ancel Keys was a complete charlatan. Fudged his studies to obtain a false narrative. He was responsible for launching our society into obeisity through high carb, low-fat diets. 50 per cent of the US is either pre diabetic, type 2 or type 1. Big food stroked him big time. Can you say trans fats Crisco and margarine. High fructose corn syrup, seed oils, sugar, and refined carbs are major cause of heart disease. Read the book The Unholy Trinity. It will tell you all you want to know.
After my dad died of heart disease…with a heart the size of a basketball…I exclude most foods he ate. I also take notice of the health of people around me and also what they eat and go from there. I notice who is on blood thinners and heart meds, even if they are thin…and my keto friends are…and take that into account. Thanks for your video.
In America meat may be affordable but not in the rest of the world. In Switzerland a small steak costs a minimum of 15 euros, meat is much too expensive to become a carnivore.
If one argument is that cholesterol is the precursor for hormone production, but then we also say that the body synthesizes cholesterol and does not use the cholesterol we eat (for either health benefits or deficits) - why do we need to eat cholesterol?
I would like podcasts on how the layman can understand advanced lipid panels. I am a nurse and likely a LMHR ... but still find it difficult to comprehend particle sizes...relevance. Thanku
Thank you for a great video again, dr. Phil :) It seems to me that the whole world now understands all the fuzz about cholesterol, excluding our practicioners of course, who keep constantly pushing us on statins, recommending low fat diets, with lots of seed oils, fruits and veggies, telling horror stories about red meat etc, and they continue scaring the crap out of us with strokes and heart attacks. Will they ever learn?
Have been on carnivore for 6 months now just started to incorporate small veggies into my diet broccoli asparagus cauliflower and Bressel sprouts purple stoke sweet potato, and a bit of blueberries and or kiwis. However had small lipid panel done with family dr and i was at a 18 hr fast and my cholesterol was 253 and my LDL was 168. Triglycerides 62 HDL 73. Doc seems concerned about my cholesterol. Should i be concerned with those numbers or do i need to change something.?
From the numbers you gave things look pretty good. Be concerned with inflammation not cholesterol. Your HDL is very good! Your triglycerides are great. These two are most important. Look up Lean Mass Hyper Responder. At your age and with your numbers you are nearly perfect. Congratulations.
My Mother in law is 76, he had a quadruple bypass surgery and the heart doctor did the wrong thing; he had a stroke and died for 5minutes few minutes after she was moved to a post- op room. After that she hasn’t been the same. When I found out about carnivore few months ago I suggested to give a try, she said that her Dr wouldn’t recommend that plus she has liver,IBS, diabetes problems. Two weeks ago her heart Dr. told her that she’s not supposed to do anything since she gets out of breath even walking to her car. She’s pretty depressed because she was trying to get surgery or something to help her with living few more years, so my 4 year old can remember her. Her Dr prescribed a 24 slow release nitrogen pill and sometimes she has to take 2 during the day when she did something that exhausted her. Also she and her husband eat mostly take out food or pre made 😢

I am on a 95% carnivore diet. Since being on this diet, my heart problems have decreased, nothing like it was. My red meat is Grass Feed Finish Beef, not just Grass Fed. There is a difference. Try to find a local shop for your meat. It tastes a lot better than frozen.

Hey doc is a cac score of 7 (one artery they say) bad? I am a former smoker and was around second hand smoke. TRI 116 and HDL 50.7. Dad was a butcher and we always ate red meat. I feel amazing being on carnivore going on 6 months today 💪🏼.
Yes. Mine is 19. "Coronary calcium scan results are usually given as a number. The number is called the Agatston score. The score is the total area of calcium deposits and the density of the calcium. A score of zero means no calcium is seen in the heart. It suggests a low chance of developing a heart attack in the future. When calcium is present, the higher the score, the higher the risk of heart disease. A score of 100 to 300 means moderate plaque deposits. It's associated with a relatively high risk of a heart attack or other heart disease over the next 3 to 5 years. A score greater than 300 is a sign of more extensive disease and a higher heart attack risk."
@@cindyweinstock4868 I also had a CIMT and it said low risk of heart disease. I’m 57 so I was happy with hearing this. Thank you for all that info. I’ve learned a lot about the scoring after the CAC score. Have a wonderful day 🌸.
Is paleo diet good for the heart? I've heard another doctor talk about how grains in general where not good for us causing weight gain and a lot of illnesses
I didn’t even do carnivore, I still eat carbs for dinner most days, I still lost most of my belly fat, it’s pretty incredible, one thing I do avoid is vegetable oils
Dr Ovarian, what about people with familial hypercholesterolemia? My husband has high cholesterol but a calcium score of ZERO. I was told if he did keto, he would die. But he has always eaten meat and has always been a natural intermittent faster.... So he is not insulin resistant.

I love eating all types of liver: beef, chicken, cod, lamb and pig. Heme iron (iron from animal sources) is the best type of iron you can eat. All livers have much heme iron.
It is so true that dietary cholesterol have been quietly removed!!! Now we are all brainwashed that liver is the primary cholesterol producer of the body 50%-70%. The truth is the more cholesterol we eat the less cholesterol liver has to made. Cholesterol making is complex and energy demanding process with 20-37 steps and many enzymes involved. Dietary saturated fats and dietary cholesterol are so important that our body lets them packed into chylomicron and bypass liver which being delivered to lymphatic vessels then go directly into the venous return, joining with blood from liver carry other nutrients to the heart then lung then back to the heart then will be distributing directly to tissues through arteries then capillaries. Fluid contain dietary fats and cholesterol and other nutrients will be allowed to leak out through capillary forces and bathe our tissues with dietary fats dietary cholesterol and other nutrients...
below is an excerpt from the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines The Key Recommendation from the 2010 Dietary Guidelines to limit consumption of dietary cholesterol to 300 mg per day is not included in the 2015 edition, but this change does not suggest that dietary cholesterol is no longer important to consider when building healthy eating patterns. As recommended by the IOM, individuals should eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible while consuming a healthy eating pattern. In general, foods that are higher in dietary cholesterol, such as fatty meats and high-fat dairy products, are also higher in saturated fats. The USDA Food Patterns are limited in saturated fats, and because of the commonality of food sources of saturated fats and dietary cholesterol, the Patterns are also low in dietary cholesterol. GSP recommendation: don't get punked, look it up yourself since the backstory is worthy of scrutiny
You aren't wrong in describing the mechanism of absorption of fats. What was left out is a an emphasis that this mechanism bypases the initial liver processing, liver being our chemical factory and detoxifier, and animal fat contains toxins which the animal couldn't excrete, so it stored them out of the way, into its fat. Plus, some animal sources of cholesterol were exposed to procesing and oxidation. And oxidised cholesterol is similar to trans fats, i.e. harmful. So it depends on what source the cholesterol comes from and how the animal source was prepared. Everything in moderation I would say. We haven't evolved on entirely animal based diet how these ketomaniac present it. They may feel fine now and in a few years some still may feel fine, genetics, but some may have their health damaged over a long time. Many will lapse back to eating a varied diet and so we have scarce data over a long term carnivore diet on the general population. I am saying it in regards of the book shelf behind this presenter.
@@D.von.N You aren't wrong about concerning of toxins in animal fats. But if because of that concern to avoid eating animal saturated fats is wrong. You couldn't be healthy without consuming whole saturated fats. Also a healthy body can handle small of toxins if it has to. Toxins in animal fats is just another scary tactic. When you mentioned about oxidized cholesterol, you could be mixed up with oxidized LDL. It is totally different. LDL is as a cargo to carry cholesterol within it. LDL is a part with lipoprotein and with certain amino acids being oxidized not the cholesterol part inside the cargo LDL. Again within our intestine, after being processed by pancreatic lipase fats and cholesterol are packaged inside chylomicron and being transferred through lymphatic vessels. If there are any toxins they will be separated and absorbed with other nutrients and sent to intestinal hepatic venous system to liver for detox.
@@binhmai1 I am with you on many points, and you are explaining some things to me which I already know. I am not mixing ldl with oxidised cholesterol. I mean oxidised dietary cholesterol. Little is talked about that one. I am not convinced the toxins won't bind to lipids before absorption in the intestines. Some are fat soluble and seek that route, also fat soluble vitamins. Are those absorbed separately or with the fats in chylomicrons? That is the question for you to find answer for. And yes, our bodies are equipped to deal with certain levels of toxins, which is a reason I don't freak out over aspartame, breaking down in formaldehyde and methanol, substances already present in our diet in larger amounts, like in fruit and us generating more of them by digesting otherwise healthy plant produce. I am not afraid of saturated fats (love butter and burgers) or cholesterol. Just I don't go a crazy extreme carnivore way. Life is too short to deprive myself of all those good things, like strawberries, porridge, satsumas etc. I stay off the junk most of the time.
I wonder if berberine and tumeric are harmful to my carnivore journey. I am on day 13 and doing well digestively but really tired . I take tumeric for arthritis pain and berbrine for heart health

Most of my equipment is the on the cheaper end and the effort needed to make such products is not terribly complicated or difficult.

Thank you Doc. The world needs many more doctors like you, that is, doctors who have the courage to tell the truth.
My MD advised me he could call me diabetic due to elevated A1C. Instead he told me to eat more meat and less carbs. A
1C down to 5.3 now! Just ate 12 oz liver with bacon onions and potatoes. Amen 🏋♂️💕
You've made some odd choices there. Red meat increases insulin resistance due to excessive intake of saturated fat. All of your realized health benefits were probably due to weight loss. You were probably eating low quality carbs before. Potatoes are also a bad food for prediabetics; any starchy vegetables are.

@@dan-qe1tb you might be confused a touch with insulin resistance with red meat.
Completely wrong about saturated fat. @dan-qe1tb

@@IFixHeartsa video about doctors and insurance relying on the inaccurate BMI scale would be awesome. My husband like most body builders are “morbidly obese” even if they have 20% or lower body fat. I always wondered why the doctors won’t use a body caliper or the electro scales. The scales are at least a little more accurate than bmi.
Finally, heart doctors telling the truth!
According to Dr. Alo, red meat is saturated fat, and this is a big no-no when it comes to heart health.
Thank you for this informative video, Dr. Ovadia. I'm sharing the link with others. I've been Carnivore for more than two years, and it's made a significant positive difference in my health.

Thanks for clarifying this doc, I sent to a friend, I hope he watches!
i) They don't add sugar to meat, they add High Fructose Corn Syrup.
ii) A major (bad ) ingredient in processed meat is MSG (not mentioned in vid), although the food makers sneak in MSG under other names (in the ingredients list).
iii) I really love @ 1:52 mentioned that "Limitations on dietary cholesterol have been removed from the dietary guidelines, but it wasn't promoted b/c the government would have to admit that it was wrong all these decades".
Thank you for this video.
I am a physician and I can tell you the Doctor is providing here valuable information backed by medical facts.
I have a question for the doc , How about cheese? Like good grass fed cheddar or aged Gouda. 😊
It's got carbs so moderate cheese and dairy. Raw and fermented is best.
Love this man I'd hug you for speaking the truth if I could thank you!
I am an almost 80-year-old man. I have watched hundreds of health videos. I have pretty much eliminated the ones that talk about plant-based diets. They don't make any evolutionary sense. I'm not a doctor, but I am pretty well self-taught, reading thousands of articles and watching hundreds and hundreds of videos. I believe in the evolution that we are here today because of what our ancestors did over the past tens of thousands of generations. That's what makes sense. Your short talk had more good information than in almost any video. I don't believe that we are vegan, vegetarians, or carnivores. We are omnivores, and probably one of our strengths as omnivores is that we can eat so many things better than others. We prefer meat when available, but it isn't always available. Also, vegetables that are relatively low in carbohydrates contain a lot of vitamins and minerals, and high-end protein and good animal fats are what make sense. I'm almost 80, and that's what works for me. I had colitis that almost killed me. The only thing that saved my life was Dr. Atkins. Things have evolved since then and gotten better, but he had the basics right: getting away from traditional medicine and going on a low-carb, high-protein, high-fat diet. Keep up the good work. It's one of the better videos I've seen; thank you
Yes indeed. Well said. 🏋♂️🏊🦊
Absolutely! I agree 100 percent. I was extraordinarily fortunate to have a visionary primary care physician 20 years ago, when I was 45, and suffering from Syndrome X (Metabolic Syndrome). He put me on Atkins, I was ready to feel better and stuck with it, and I lost 65 pounds. I had the thought after being on this low-carb, high protein, high fat diet for a while that I'd found the Fountain of Youth!
You realize our ancestors had an average lifespan of 30 years?
@lonewolf7803 You realize there is Evidence many lived to ripe old age. 🏋♂️🏊🦊
@@lonewolf7803 Yes, because of pestilence and primitive medical care, if any. If they were alive today, they'd have the same lifespan we do.

It’s awesome
A 20 oz ribeye medium with a side of broccoli
No carbs in the steak
Under 10 carbs in the veggie
Had it last night
Slept like a champ😂
I don’t know how you can eat that much. I do carnivore and 12 oz ribeye is really pushing it for me and I’m a big guy. I do intermittent fasting with a 4 hr feeding window. Do you eat 20oz over three meals or only one meal?
No problem with this
A couple times per week😂
One meal
With or without bone? Choice or Prime?
Processed meat seems excessively villainized too, but I agree on clearing red meat’s name. Processed meat seems perfectly fine if other ingredients are ok. Nitrites and nitrates (curing agents) fine too.
But sugar, starches and emulsifiers are NOT ok...
I agree, the attack on nitrates/nitrites is misguided and ridiculous when you realize that over 90% of nitrates come from plants in the food supply
@@prunelle19 ~This is what I wanted to know the truth about Sodium Nitrite in cured meats if it’s harmful or not.?

At 1:48, you mentioned that the recommendation to limit cholesterol has been removed from the dietary guidelines. To which dietary guidelines are you referring? Do you have any links or references you could provide?
Thanks for a great review. One technical point I cannot ignore, @1:00, plants have cell walls, made of cellulose; animals have cell membranes lined with cholesterol.
Question, has it ever been found that the adverse event of rhabdomyolysis from statins is due to the reduction of cholesterol at the cell membrane?

My father in law who is 87 now walks for an hour a day (not brisk just normal) and everything he eats is "low fat". He stays away from butter, cheese and red meat cos im sure some big pharma doctor told him to because of "cholesterol". Eats carbs and sugar aswell as veg and some white meat. Then at 82 he had a heart attack. Survived it but has to be on loads of meds for rest of his life. Hes still brainwashed unfortunately so hes still eating the same way. And i used to think he was really "healthy".
No one lives forever 🏋♂️🏊🦊

Great job!
My mother had extrem levels of both,LDL and HDL whole life.Her diet was near to vegan,but nothing helped.She died in peace in her 89.
I live in an area where butcher shops and ranchers overcharge BIG TIME! And I no longer trust the beef at the grocery stores. LOVE this way of eating but it has become a serious challenge. Can't afford 1 T-bone for $45. :(
Agree. Elections have consequences.
@@grantorino2009 I couldn't agree more! It's scary that a large fraction WILL vote the same! Can't believe newsom would EVER be considered to run a country considering what's happened in his state! Just UGH! LOVE the beef just harder to afford good quality! :(
Chuck is your friend! Steaks, roasts, ground, all excellent.
Private ranchers are bound by law to have their beef slaughtered in a USDA inspected plant. Those are not always available, and when they are, it can require up to a year's advance notice with the slaughter plant for the particular animal is slaughtered. The only real way around this is to sell an entire animal for $1, and charge for "processing services" equivalent to the value of the animal - then they can be slaughtered by mobile butchers. But you're stuck with an entire beef. "Grassfed" or "Grass Fed" (can't remember which but the space between words is key) is an FDA co-opted label with all its various loopholes to make grassfed production commercially viable. Note that the "organic" label allows for up to 5% of non-organic certified ingredients to still be labeled organic. And unskilled grassfed producers can result in a gamey, tough, undernourished animal. Grassfed basically means no grain, but grass is not nutritious year round, so there MUST be workarounds to keep the animals fed. A good alternative would be to look for "branded" beef that is raised, processed and marketed by consortiums of ranchers who bind themselves to high standards, maintain their own processing facilities so they have control over the end product, and do their own marketing under their private brand.
Please give us the best BLOOD TESTS to order to evaluate our Metobolic Heart Health!!🙏💖👍 ie: lipid profile, Apo A, Apo B, Fasting insulin resistance, Fasting GLUCOSE, any others you recommend???
Fasting INSULIN. I'm not mistakenly thinking fasting glucose, or A1C. Your goal is (2-6), over 25 is diabetes. Notice the huge gap between healthy and so bad your doctor is alarmed. This is hyperinsulinemia.
Many thanks, I have avoided red meat for more than six years because of its reported adverse effect on healh.I used tinned fish instead. In the last month I took a chance in having chicken and beef. They keep me filled longer, I feel more whole and satisfied, feeling hungry is not frequent and I feel generally healthier. Meat will continue to be a part of my diet but they say chicken causes cancer because of how the birds are produced and raised. Thank you once again.
I forgot to mention that for years my medical test results showed that I was anemic. My white blood cell count was low. Hopefully having meat will correct this. Is it safe to eat chicken?
In my family, "processed foods" (such as sausage) means " kill it (beef, pork, poultry, wild game), butcher it, grind it, season it (natural herbs and spices ONLY..NO SUGARS), cook it and eat it. Super healthy and OH SO TASTY!!!
Please link the study you discussed.
Yes. Show study. My opinion ..studies ....most are BS. Biased. They are looking for an outcome before they begin. And, the different studies from different organizations are not using the same premise or basis or rules or guidelines that one group used vs another group. He mentions here in this video epidemiology studies where they used
" Correlation vs not using " causation "
So, we have all these educated and supposedly smart people who can't get studies right. So, who the hell are we supposed to believe ?
My conclusion is this....be your own study and do your own due diligence. Read read read all the comments from both sides or all sides . See what you think is best then live how you think all while listening to your body and stay on top of things with random blood tests and hire a good functional / holistic Dr.
Good luck
Thank you Mr. Ovadia. Would you be so kind and put links to researches mentioned here to the notes (also to the one that shows no downsides between consuming red meat and heart disease).
@Herbert_Knavs. Don't hold your breath for this. The good doctor is more interested in an Internet based business than science. Maybe he got burned out being a heart surgeon?
Thank you
I've read Ancel Keys' books and they do not actually say what many people claim that they do.
From Eat Well & Stay Well (1959): Cholesterol amounts to 5 or more per cent of solids in the brain and nervous tissue where it is thought it may act as an electrical insulator and where, in any case, it is effectively isolated from the cholesterol in the blood and in the arteries. Cholesterol is also prominent in the adrenal glands, where it may be a supply of material for the manufacture of adrenal hormones, and it is a main ingredient of gallstones. All in all, cholesterol is an important and remarkable substance quite apart from its unfortunate tendency to be deposited in the walls of arteries, thereby producing atherosclerosis.
and later in this book...
Of course, an easy solution to the problem of fat in the diet would be vegetarianism, but this would be both impractical and unnecessary in our opinion.
Ancel Keys was a complete charlatan. Fudged his studies to obtain a false narrative. He was responsible for launching our society into obeisity through high carb, low-fat diets. 50 per cent of the US is either pre diabetic, type 2 or type 1. Big food stroked him big time. Can you say trans fats Crisco and margarine. High fructose corn syrup, seed oils, sugar, and refined carbs are major cause of heart disease. Read the book The Unholy Trinity. It will tell you all you want to know.
Thank you so much Dr Ovadia for this information.

After my dad died of heart disease…with a heart the size of a basketball…I exclude most foods he ate. I also take notice of the health of people around me and also what they eat and go from there.

I don't see processed meats being harmful as long as they don't contain filthy plant sugars and plant oils or toxic herbs or preservatives.
In America meat may be affordable but not in the rest of the world.
In Switzerland a small steak costs a minimum of 15 euros, meat is much too expensive to become a carnivore.

Dr eric Berg and you are making me healthy .I ran into him first after my reaction to Covid jabs
If one argument is that cholesterol is the precursor for hormone production, but then we also say that the body synthesizes cholesterol and does not use the cholesterol we eat (for either health benefits or deficits) - why do we need to eat cholesterol?
We need to eat cholesterol because the body does not produce enough
A friend told me that you will definitely have my answer. Can I do carnivore eating even though I have clogged arteries
I would like podcasts on how the layman can understand advanced lipid panels. I am a nurse and likely a LMHR ... but still find it difficult to comprehend particle sizes...relevance. Thanku
Thank you for a great video again, dr. Phil :) It seems to me that the whole world now understands all the fuzz about cholesterol, excluding our practicioners of course, who keep constantly pushing us on statins, recommending low fat diets, with lots of seed oils, fruits and veggies, telling horror stories about red meat etc, and they continue scaring the crap out of us with strokes and heart attacks. Will they ever learn?
Thanks for your support!
Have been on carnivore for 6 months now just started to incorporate small veggies into my diet broccoli asparagus cauliflower and Bressel sprouts purple stoke sweet potato, and a bit of blueberries and or kiwis. However had small lipid panel done with family dr and i was at a 18 hr fast and my cholesterol was 253 and my LDL was 168. Triglycerides 62 HDL 73. Doc seems concerned about my cholesterol. Should i be concerned with those numbers or do i need to change something.?
From the numbers you gave things look pretty good. Be concerned with inflammation not cholesterol. Your HDL is very good! Your triglycerides are great. These two are most important. Look up Lean Mass Hyper Responder. At your age and with your numbers you are nearly perfect. Congratulations.
My Mother in law is 76, he had a quadruple bypass surgery and the heart doctor did the wrong thing; he had a stroke and died for 5minutes few minutes after she was moved to a post- op room. After that she hasn’t been the same. When I found out about carnivore few months ago I suggested to give a try, she said that her Dr wouldn’t recommend that plus she has liver,IBS, diabetes problems. Two weeks ago her heart Dr. told her that she’s not supposed to do anything since she gets out of breath even walking to her car. She’s pretty depressed because she was trying to get surgery or something to help her with living few more years, so my 4 year old can remember her. Her Dr prescribed a 24 slow release nitrogen pill and sometimes she has to take 2 during the day when she did something that exhausted her.
Also she and her husband eat mostly take out food or pre made 😢

Hey doc is a cac score of 7 (one artery they say) bad? I am a former smoker and was around second hand smoke. TRI 116 and HDL 50.7. Dad was a butcher and we always ate red meat. I feel amazing being on carnivore going on 6 months today 💪🏼.
That's a great score.
@@cindyweinstock4868 you think so?
Yes. Mine is 19.
"Coronary calcium scan results are usually given as a number. The number is called the Agatston score. The score is the total area of calcium deposits and the density of the calcium.
A score of zero means no calcium is seen in the heart. It suggests a low chance of developing a heart attack in the future.
When calcium is present, the higher the score, the higher the risk of heart disease.
A score of 100 to 300 means moderate plaque deposits. It's associated with a relatively high risk of a heart attack or other heart disease over the next 3 to 5 years.
A score greater than 300 is a sign of more extensive disease and a higher heart attack risk."

I love eating all types of liver: beef, chicken, cod, lamb and pig. Heme iron (iron from animal sources) is the best type of iron you can eat. All livers have much heme iron.
Where are the links to the studies?
It is so true that dietary cholesterol have been quietly removed!!!
Now we are all brainwashed that liver is the primary cholesterol producer of the body 50%-70%.
The truth is the more cholesterol we eat the less cholesterol liver has to made. Cholesterol making is complex and energy demanding process with 20-37 steps and many enzymes involved.
Dietary saturated fats and dietary cholesterol are so important that our body lets them packed into chylomicron and bypass liver which being delivered to lymphatic vessels then go directly into the venous return, joining with blood from liver carry other nutrients to the heart then lung then back to the heart then will be distributing directly to tissues through arteries then capillaries. Fluid contain dietary fats and cholesterol and other nutrients will be allowed to leak out through capillary forces and bathe our tissues with dietary fats dietary cholesterol and other nutrients...
below is an excerpt from the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines
The Key Recommendation from the 2010 Dietary Guidelines to limit consumption of dietary cholesterol to 300 mg per day is not included in the 2015 edition, but this change does not suggest that dietary cholesterol is no longer important to consider when building healthy eating patterns. As recommended by the IOM, individuals should eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible while consuming a healthy eating pattern. In general, foods that are higher in dietary cholesterol, such as fatty meats and high-fat dairy products, are also higher in saturated fats. The USDA Food Patterns are limited in saturated fats, and because of the commonality of food sources of saturated fats and dietary cholesterol, the Patterns are also low in dietary cholesterol.
GSP recommendation: don't get punked, look it up yourself since the backstory is worthy of scrutiny
You aren't wrong in describing the mechanism of absorption of fats. What was left out is a an emphasis that this mechanism bypases the initial liver processing, liver being our chemical factory and detoxifier, and animal fat contains toxins which the animal couldn't excrete, so it stored them out of the way, into its fat. Plus, some animal sources of cholesterol were exposed to procesing and oxidation. And oxidised cholesterol is similar to trans fats, i.e. harmful. So it depends on what source the cholesterol comes from and how the animal source was prepared. Everything in moderation I would say. We haven't evolved on entirely animal based diet how these ketomaniac present it. They may feel fine now and in a few years some still may feel fine, genetics, but some may have their health damaged over a long time. Many will lapse back to eating a varied diet and so we have scarce data over a long term carnivore diet on the general population. I am saying it in regards of the book shelf behind this presenter.
@@D.von.N
You aren't wrong about concerning of toxins in animal fats. But if because of that concern to avoid eating animal saturated fats is wrong. You couldn't be healthy without consuming whole saturated fats. Also a healthy body can handle small of toxins if it has to.
Toxins in animal fats is just another scary tactic.
When you mentioned about oxidized cholesterol, you could be mixed up with oxidized LDL. It is totally different. LDL is as a cargo to carry cholesterol within it. LDL is a part with lipoprotein and with certain amino acids being oxidized not the cholesterol part inside the cargo LDL.
Again within our intestine, after being processed by pancreatic lipase fats and cholesterol are packaged inside chylomicron and being transferred through lymphatic vessels. If there are any toxins they will be separated and absorbed with other nutrients and sent to intestinal hepatic venous system to liver for detox.
@@binhmai1 I am with you on many points, and you are explaining some things to me which I already know. I am not mixing ldl with oxidised cholesterol. I mean oxidised dietary cholesterol. Little is talked about that one.
I am not convinced the toxins won't bind to lipids before absorption in the intestines. Some are fat soluble and seek that route, also fat soluble vitamins. Are those absorbed separately or with the fats in chylomicrons? That is the question for you to find answer for.
And yes, our bodies are equipped to deal with certain levels of toxins, which is a reason I don't freak out over aspartame, breaking down in formaldehyde and methanol, substances already present in our diet in larger amounts, like in fruit and us generating more of them by digesting otherwise healthy plant produce.
I am not afraid of saturated fats (love butter and burgers) or cholesterol. Just I don't go a crazy extreme carnivore way. Life is too short to deprive myself of all those good things, like strawberries, porridge, satsumas etc. I stay off the junk most of the time.
Unfortunately incompetence was not the primary driver of the demonization of meat, it's worse than that. Corruption was.
I wonder if berberine and tumeric are harmful to my carnivore journey. I am on day 13 and doing well digestively but really tired . I take tumeric for arthritis pain and berbrine for heart health
How do you explain the longer lifespans of Loma Linda CA where they are vegetarian?
