Decades ago, my best friend was a master's in dietetics. She was vegetarian, and bossy/ nagging, and convinced me to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. I wasn't truly vegetarian as much as grainatarian. Lots of bread, rice, cereal and pasta. Soy milk, soy yogurt, soy butter. Egg whites, never whole eggs. Over 8 years on this diet, I gained 60 lbs, had chronic migraines, my period was irregular, I had terrible acne, I was hypothyroid, I suffered from hypoglycemia attacks. My friend insisted I needed to go completely vegan to regain my health. I broke up with the diet, and my friend. I began eating fish, then chicken, whole eggs, and beef. I went from 220lbs to 170lbs. All those chronic issues disappeared. I saw her recently and she is still very thin, however her skin is deeply wrinkled. Her lips are thin. She looks gaunt and much older than myself. The only reason I went along with her BS decades ago is because she often referenced her education and alleged expertise. I'm glad I got away from her, and started thinking for myself.
What is sad is she believes it . I did too. Now I'm transitioning to carnivore.
Every one needs to be their own health advocate. Good for you for doing so. Sadly, her identity is wrapped up in being vegan. I hope she wakes up soon, for her healths sake.
Hallelujah!
@@hfortenberrybut some do great on vegan as long as they have protien look at dr Caldwell esystyne and plant based plant strong it what you eat
Hopefully she can open her mind to alternatives before too long. I think there are some people who can thrive on plants-only consumption but I do believe the majority of people are meant to consume animal fats and animal proteins.
My wife is a RD. It is amazing the stuff she still believes. She acknowledges that the ADA is corrupt and that some of their advice is wrong but then she still holds the line. She thinks being on a bunch of medicines and having a bunch of health issues at age 40 is normal and to be expected. I'm just hoping she will wake up and realize that, at 46, I have reversed most of my health issues and almost down to my desired level of body fat.
She might wake up one day. My husband was way ahead of me on most things ... I eventually woke up and realized it ALL is a lie... Lie after lie. Not just nutrition. And, I am in healthcare.
It’s typical so it’s normalized
But it’s not normal for human physiology
All their advice is wrong.
In time you will get her there.
I am surprised she has the proof in the pudding she is married to, but still isn't convinced!
My husband can't deal with eating the restricted diet I follow, but he knows and believes. He is just a sugar addict and doesn't care that he's 50 lbs overweight and on BP meds and statins. And is a cancer survivor.
Nursing homes are horrible with feeding their elderly with high carb meals.
I watched my Mother, who had always lived off the land, fish, home grow grass fed beef and chicken, wild game, honey. Her diet went to nothing compared to how she had lived. They literally starved her to Death. Her teeth were crumbling when she died at 93. All the things going on were caused by a low or poor diet. Lack of vitamins , iron , herbs, teas, slowly starved her to her death. Children's pay attention to the whole treatments of your loved ones. Blessings
Oh yes they are. My dear 95 year old diabetic mom is in a care home, and the food I see them give her is insanely unhealthy for her.
I have been teaching my 83yo mum about the perils of sugar and carbs. Visited her in the home at the weekend with a boat load of meat based products. 🍖
Normally the carers expect her to go to the diner for her dinner but this time they brought it to her room, just to make sure she was getting her assigned poisons.
She can’t communicate since having strokes, but was pointing at the dessert for me to have it. I turned it down and it went untouched. 🙌🏼
Rejected. 🙅🏼♂️
All good steps! 👏🏼 ☑️
The truth is, carbs (especially processed carbs) are cheap and benefit care home profit margins. I saw this with my mother's care home, where she was for the last 18 months of her life. The meals were largely carbohydrate and processed. Even the 'meat' was highly processed and adulterated with soy and grains.
In Canada both public and private nursing homes half to follow the Death Canada food guidelines. So basically hurrying your end along.
I’m a registered dietitian that speaks the same language as Michelle. I’ve been shamed by other RDs. My platform is on reversing insulin resistance. Treating symptoms vs the root cause is my goal. Low carb diet, eliminating processed food is key. Food addiction is real, especially when it comes to carbs and processed sugars.
@shannondavis1619
I think u meant treating root cause vs. symptoms.

I think you meant to say: "treating the root cause versus only the symptoms" is your goal.
There needs to be a law that doesn’t allow food industries to pay into health organizations.
Yes, I think it’s criminal !
Dangle money and that law too would be broken. Sad but true in some cases. 😢

Thank you! ❤️
Keep in mind the ones making the laws are the ones who are being paid.
About 6 years ago my new doctor asked me to see a dietitian. I dutifully went to see her. At the time I was low carb high fat. She started telling me I could have grapes for a snack in the afternoon. I asked her why would I eat grapes, which are mostly sugar, at any time of the day. She tried to say they were fruit so they’re good. I got up and thanked her and left.
She will never forget you! I hope you got her thinking.
Good for you!!!
Best decision ever! Hopefully she did some research!
Good for you!
I am glad you were smarter than she was. My mom was in a care center 2 yrs ago for a few weeks (post medical issues and needing higher level of care), and the nurses at the center were checking her blood sugars AFTER she ate and were shooting her up with insulin. My mom was mentally out of it due to a head injury and didn't realize or even care at that moment. She was given a regular diet with sugary desserts on her tray. I called that manager and also spoke with the dietitian, and they didn't see anything wrong with her tray. They didn't even comment on the insulin and blood sugar timing. I pulled her out of that facility and had her move in with me (I'm a nurse) and was able to help get her sugars down again just with diet alone. No need for insulin when you feed a Type 2 Diabetic properly and check their sugars at the preprandial. She is back home with my Dad (he was sick at the time too) and they are both doing so much better.
I will always be grateful to the lab technician who wrote the report that said I was on the verge of diabetes. The first words on the report were " carbohydrate intolerant". I would have stopped eating carbs anyway but from then on I had something to say to well wishing friends and family.. When anyone says I can't stay on a low carb diet I say "my lab report said Im carbohydrate intolerant" and I get no more argument.
Good one! I’ll have to use it…
That’s awesome!! 👏🏼 I wish we could all use that. Hmm, maybe I will anyway. 😊
Most people are to some degree or another.
I’m a “Type A”, highly disciplined, goal oriented person. But I can’t eat just two cookies or one serving of crackers or two slices of bread. Those foods themselves hijack my personality. When I abstain from carbohydrate, I’m myself again.
This
Yes!
Ditto!!!
This is me exactly (apart from the 1st sentence)
I can eat normal amount of sourdough 100% whole grain breads. But my body still can’t cope d/t a wrecked metab. Grains spike my insulin.
Starchy vegs aren’t rly a prob so that, fruit and beans are my carbs when I’m maintaining GW.
I’m literally CRYING while watching this. I suffer from extreme autoimmune conditions, and this is everything my body has been intuitively telling me for years, but I’ve been going against my own intuition due to doctors’ orders (and haven’t gotten better- only worse over time)
If the dietitian sees this comment, please know I literally owe my LIFE to you and Ken at this very moment, and I’m going to implement EVERYTHING you guys spoke of starting TODAY.
You may have literally just saved my life. Thank you!!!
You can do this!! I feel so much better doing carnivore for about 2 months now. So much more energy and my body doesn't hurt anymore. Anyone with an autoimmune disorder should at least try carnivore for 30 days.
@@theupsidedown7430 thank you for the encouragement, and I absolutely DO want to try carnivore! I’ve always eaten vegetables because I’m ‘supposed to,’ but they always bloat me SOOOO badly, and make me feel hella sick afterwards, no matter how I cook them, or even what vegetables I eat.
Can I ask what an average meal day for you looks like? Just trying to get some ideas!
@@LovelyDecrie there are tons of channels out there that do carnivore recipes. Some people do dairy with their meat. I can tolerate dairy so I do have heavy cream in my coffee in the morning. Then, I have either one or two meals later (usually one now). There's so much that I can eat. Bacon and eggs, chicken wings, any beef like steak, ground beef patty with an egg on top, shrimp in butter sauce, ribs with dry rub (no sugar)
@@LovelyDecrie Hey, look up videos by Dr. Berry, Steak and Butter Gal, Raymond Nazon and Dr. Anthony Chaffee to name a few on how to start a carnivore diet. From the videos that I have watched, I gather that you slowly transition to a carnivore diet by changing one meal at a time giving your microbiome the chance to adapt to the new diet. And there is the "priming phase" where you eat as much meat products (beef, bacon, eggs, limited poultry, butter, ghee, cheese, full fat cream etc.) as you can and as many times as you can as this will set your body up for the "healing phase" where you will only require one or two meals. For most people, it is during the healing phase that they start losing weight but you might see your other conditions improve even during the priming phase.
@@LovelyDecrie An average day consists of eating lots of beef cooked in ghee and butter for me. I occasionally throw in some pork, fish or eggs.
Yep! One of my yoga instructors is registered dietitian and when she noticed my great changes asked me about it. I told her that I started carnivore diet and she acted horrified… Suggested to me that I should carry a little something with sugar just in case I’d crash 🙄🙄
I tried to to tell her how wonderful I feel and how much energy I have, but then I realized that I’m waisting my time… Very disappointing… I stopped going to her class,because lost respect to her
Lol, I had a follow up with my orthopedic surgeon who fixed my broken wrist this past winter. And he was impressed at my recovery jn the last 4 weeks. I told him I went meat based. He asked "Red meat?" I said "Red Meat!" He smiled 😃 I'm probably his only female patient who embraces beef, lol
It takes time to change a long held belief. I'm still reeling from the 180 I've had to do with the wo wo being a real thing and plants slowly poisoning us.
She probably thinks you died of a heart attack😂.
I am type 2 on a keto diet for about 4 years. My insurance offers a nurse visit once a year for checkup. The nurse who came told me I should be eating 5 or 6 time a day "to keep my energy up" I told her no I don't and that I normally eat one meal a day. She didn't take it well. No more nurse visits.
Good for you Mark. It's very hard to undo some people's brainwashing.
Your insurer will use your resistance against you if ever they have a chance.
Just nod yes and act like you are complying, you need those checkups. That's what I told my 92 year old mom that is in great health and no meds except for thyroid. When her Dr retired and she got his young replacement he wanted to put her on a bunch of meds just in case because of her age. She lives in a small town with not much choice so I told her to nod like a good girl but not fill out the prescription. All she needs him for is to do blood analysis etc😅
Yep…she trained by the corporation that pays her to lie!
All those nurses visits are , are interfering busybodies that don't want to work a real job.
I don't like to debate people about what they should eat, but all I know is that I lost 75 pounds, went from obese to normal weight, elevated blood pressure to normal, sleep apenia to no sleep apenia and my blood work improved all on keto diet. I will never go back. Only downside is I had to buy all new clothes.
Wow congratulations 🎊👏👏
Easily to find clothes in average sizes, even from marketplace online or second hand places.
Nearly impossible to find new oversized clothes.
@@marlenegold280 yes. My wife introduced me to thrift shopping. Saved us lots of money and found quality clothes.
That is so WONDERFUL!! CONGRATULATIONS 👏👏👏👏
I love buying new clothes!!!
20 years ago, before I had ever heard of KETO, I put my 5 year old on a high protein diet because her school was pushing me to put her on meds for hyperactivity.. More than any of my other children, she was and still is, very susceptible to sugar highs and lows, even "hidden sugars" in other food not normally considered sugary. It was a night and day difference. That's when I started to believe that some behaviors are diet based and that some kids on Ritalin might just need a different diet. 🙁
This is great info!
Thanks for sharing.
Heard of Chris Palmer? His schizophrenic patient got better after going on a low carb diet to lose weight.
I try to get thru to my daughter in law that my granddaughter needs to get of all the high carb foods she eats and on animal protein and not take the dangerous drugs. She doesn't have issues outside of school so I think its something else also. I hear LED lights maybe. Isabel has not an ounce of excess fat so I think that's why the junk she eats doesn't seem an issue to others.
I love when Dr. Berry says "Proper Human Diet." When I crave something bad for me, I say to myself.... "that's not part of the proper human diet" and it just reminds me that it's poison and I don't want it in my body.
I like that idea “not part of the PHD”🤔
Good idea. I'm gonna start doing the same.
I like "eat for nutrition, drink for hydration." That means not for stress, fun, to feel better or out of boredom.
It's really easier said than done
@@robyn6018 it really does get easier with time. After few months you will feel so good sugars and grains will not interest you. Do not expect perfection during your transition time, but I promise your body and mind will eventually choose the PHD over any other. It is what our bodies need and want most.
My GP also used to think his patients weren't doing what he was recommending for their diabetes until he developed diabetes himself. Now he's very much leading the way with low carb and managed to get a lot of patients into remission.
@sharfalor4244 👍
🎉wow!!
I was on WWatchers most of my adult life (from 17-65). I was ALWAYS hungry....so I ate MORE fruits and veggies. Full for a minute, and back to starving. I almost fainted at my kids Little League game, so went to a DR. She (NP) said I was anorexic....and this was back in the mid 70's......she told me to eat a steak every night, (with a small salad). Now that I'm Carnivore (and no longer starving!!) I'm amazed that the NP simply knew on some level that I needed meat, way back then. (WWatchers advised us to eat meat in small amounts only 1-2x a week). I was THRILLED with her advice. I always craved meat, thinking there was something wrong with me!! In fact, back in those days, I sometimes caved, and binged out on meat, thinking I was crazy. Now that I'm Carnivore and 70...my kids (in their 50's) think I'm crazy...even tho I am much healthier than they are. They believe the machine, not Mom!
We O's are meat eaters. I have to have veggies and some fruit too, but we are NOT vegans.
I'm one of the angry ones. I followed the SAD diet for 60 years while starving to death while gaining weight wondering what was wrong with ME. I wish you had got the message to me a lot sooner. You are the best!
Every hospital I have ever been admitted to serves nothing but processed foods. My primary Dr and cardiologist told me to eat high fiber diet. I think the medical community is purposely trying to keep us sick. The USDA was headed by a former Monsanto lobbyists Tom Vilsak. Food manufacturers in bed with pharmaceutical companies that fund prestigious colleges studies.
I have gone carnivore at age 61. I started in February. I have already reversed my diabetes 2 and lowered my BP, which was at critical levels. Regained sight in my left, blurry eye. Increased energy and lost 12 lbs.
Forever grateful for ethical Dr's and medical professionals who put our health above $$$$$$
PS
My elderly 16 year old dog reaping health benefits too on raw carnivore diet.
@Lydia4Jesus_ I believe that many in the medical community are taught the wrong things about diet and just believe those wrong things. Yes, there may be some who are just keeping us sick, but I believe the majority just don't know any better than what they've been taught. It's just like the whole LDL debacle...so many doctors freak out if it's high, and we're learning now that in most cases, high LDL by itself really isn't the problem that they thought it was all along.
I agree. Doctors can’t possibly be that ignorant… they’re right there on the frontlines! They are working with the government and big pharma and Lying to us and making us sicker and dying!
I did the vegan thing 5 months. I gained 20 lbs, lost a lot of hair, stomach was always hurting.... with carnivore 9 days going strong, so far lost 4 lbs, face is looking clear and youthful, not hungry, only2 meals per day, no snacks. So far so good!
I get comments how smooth my skin is, better than 20 years ago when over 40.
Happy for you! How’s your new pattern going??
I eat 2 meals per day but do snack on nuts or sometimes have fruit. I've lost 10lbs, 8 more to go. I'm pretty much regular Carnivore except for the nuts and fruit sometimes.
I was a RD… I couldn’t do it anymore.. I couldn’t hold the party line ( lies) so I gave up my registration. Thankfully I’m retired now and don’t need to work but I wish they would tell the truth
We need more ppl like you. You are absolutely amazing!
You weren't allowed to give your own opinion to a patient?
@@fazole
They aren’t allowed.
Oh good for you!
@marlenegold280 that couldn't be further from the truth. No one tells me what I can or can not tell a patient. The problem I have with this video is that they are making the assumption that carnivore or keto will work for everyone. There is simply no one diet that can be recommended to everyone.
How timely is this interview. Yesterday I saw my cardiologist's PA for a 'follow up'. Apparently she didn't bother to read my history, or she would've seen that I have lost 90 Lbs in the last few years. I still have about 30 lbs to go so she just read the label "morbid obesity" that's on my chart so what did she do? Ended the visit with a lengthy lecture about what I need to be eating: Mediterranean diet, low fat dairy, fruits, veggies, and "Ideally your diet should consist primarily of plant based foods."
I started Keto years ago, and recently moved to carnivore. She's probably would pass out if I told her. Instead I just smiled and nodded.
They need to be told they’re stupid , indoctrinated and ignorants . I planned to give them my phone number so when they’re sick I treat them for a large fee 😂. They are the reason this sick system is going on for so long and they’re complacent with this as they’re paid godly to do satan’s work.
Tells you they no longer see the patient, just the computer screen/keyboard.
So I know i have 30# to go but u think I still look that bad after losing *90 lbs*
That’s what I would have said about 1/2 a min into her spiel
Must be u as a successful wgt loser, knows SUMpin I would say…
Way to go!!! Best way to handle people with her mentality!!!
@@judyfreeman5193 I totally agree but at the same time by staying silent what do they learn that will help the other patients. There must be a way to help them to learn that they’re wrong and keeping people sick.
As soon as I started carnivore my alcohol after work just stopped I haven't had any desire to drink anymore..absolutely fantastic
Same here. I have had several years of trauma and was turning to alcohol everyday as a crutch to “deal with the trauma “. I have no desire at all for any alcohol and I won’t be returning to it ever.
amazing!!
I am a retired psychiatrist.
Psychological trauma is not going totally away. My goal was to help my patients to function better. I gave them tools to process PTSD. There are techniques I developed to help with aspects of many psychiatric disorders. I helped them change diet to fit them. Change in diets meant sometimes less psychotropic medicine.
I am glad this episode backs up my personal experience in my private practice of Psychiatry as to the dietary effects.
I truly wish people well.
After 3 days of eating animal fats, butter and removing the oxalate veg high sugar stuff my lifelong cptsd and daily panic attacks were gone. I felt so calm and zen. It’s Real.
U know one saying an RD told me I like alot, patients can only be helped if they wanna help themselves. If ur a renal pt coming in with a big ass liter of coke... Then my face is gonna be looking like this --> 😐
You will have lost all my faith in u and at that point I believe my job is just to help u keep bodily maintanance.
A psych nurse told me about the carnivore diet after I have placed the remark that many patients with personality and psychotic disorders were hoarding sugar packs and sweets. (I’m a pre-med student working at a crisis center) After reading about the impact of the gut microbiome on the endocrine and nervous systems, I can only imagine how the resulting sugar byproducts are poisoning those systems. I'm still a humble student, but I feel compelled into thinking outside the box at the risk of rocking the boat. What's the relationship between carbohydrates consumption and the psychiatric conditions over the last 100 years? It's scary.
I was on thise pills. Three months nomore pills nothing. My brain is calm nomore ptsd nothing

We are the only animals who are expected to eat a "balanced" diet. We don't expect lions to eat bread, carrots, and apples. The whole balanced diet concept is ridiculous. We've been lied to from day 1.
We are also the only animals built the way we are too remember.
Very weak argument.
Lions are Carnivores while humans are Omnivores.
@@mas-udal-hassan9277 It's the perfect argument - humans are carnivores. We spent millions of years evolving eating only meat. Just because we can eat carbohydrates doesn't mean we need to or should eat carbohydrates. If you think otherwise, name one essential carbohydrate.
@@2old4allthis Why would 'carnivores' evolve to produce amylase, the enzyme in saliva that breaks down starches? I'd be interested to know if cats (for example) produce amylase.
EDIT: Apparently cats don't produce amylase in their saliva. This strongly suggests that humans are omnivorous.
Beef bacon butter and eggs is complex and has variety enough to keep me out of the hospital… 🙂👍
You could have beef or bacon or butter or eggs or you could have beef and bacon or beef and butter or beef and eggs, you could have butter and beef, butter and eggs, bacon and butter or bacon and beef, you could have beef bacon and eggs, you could have butter bacon and eggs., you could have beef bacon and butter, eggs bacon and beef, beef and butter. And a few other combinations.
When I was first diagnosed as a diabetic I was sent to a dietitian who told me to eat 11 servings of carbs a day. Intuitively I knew that was nuts! It took me another 12 years to learn about keto.
I would have said to her: "That's how I become a Diabetic in the first place!"
Mine told me the same thing. She wanted me to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day . I just cannot eat that much food .
I started Carnivore about 2.5 months ago for gut issues. I didn't have any idea about the mental health implications. But our 25 year old son died last May and I KNOW that this diet has helped me deal with that tragedy mentally as well as other stresses that have come up since.
Please accept my condolences on the death of your son. If you can stick with a diet under these trying circumstances you have a lot of discipline and are to be congratulated. I hope that you find some measure of peace soon. I still grieve for my mother who died 24 years ago. Concentrating on the happy memories and gratitude for having her as long as I did helped me to escape the sense of loss.
My sincere condolences on the loss of your child. Memory eternal.
So nice to see a dietician who actually KNOWS about nutrition!
👍💖
Almost an extinct species.
Yes, it’s a breath of fresh air!

@@bertdog7639 No. A new species, rather.
This is what turned me off against the dietetics program I was in back in 2014.. once I realized I'd be fighting the system every single day, I pulled out.. reading about hospital contracts alone sickened me.. I couldn't do it.. what a mad world we live in.
Same. If your genuinely interested in health, gotta stay away from these sickly institutions.
@@emilyeah this was a devastating realization.. unbelievable.
You were smarter than you knew! 👏👏👏👏
@@KishBishit’s true! Corporate greed, lies and propaganda from corporate medicine!
I was an RD. Graduated in 1985. From the get-go when we gave our “basic for food group, diet instruction, I thought to myself if I eat all those carbs for breakfast, I would be starving by 10 AM. Very little of their logic ever made sense to me. Gave it up in 1997.
When I was pregnant with my third child, I was 39 years old and at least a 100 lbs overweight, I had gestational diabetes and was advised to see a dietitian. The dietitian was a young women, probably in her 20s and was heavier than me…at least 100 lbs overweight. I hate to discriminate based on anyone’s weight or judge their professional ability, because of it, but I knew she had the wrong information and she couldn’t help herself or me with the training she had. I think about her sometimes and hope and pray that she heals herself and others, armed with new and different information. I’ve lost about 100 lbs since, following a low carb, whole food approach, but still have a way to go. Thanks for these videos, they’re a tremendous source of info and inspiration.
Not discrimitory at all.
Would you trust a tailor to make you a new suit if the one he was wearing was badly stitched?
I had GD twice and I was a normal weight. I followed their diet plan to the T the first time and still had complications - that no one admitted to me were complications (although the baby came out fine her head was 99.92 percentile!) My friend got pregnant and she had GD (she is very overweight). Her diabetes educator told her to eat 320 carbs a day “based on her weight.” Her sugars were wildly out of whack. She was so upset and crying. I told her that she needed to get under 80g carbs a day and preferably less. She got everything under control except her morning fasting sugars using my method, that I developed with my second baby. This industry is out of control. Their advise made everything worse.
Would you go to a dentist with no teeth?
I will not tell my doctor the healthy diet im on.
Same
Good idea
Me, either. I’m also filling that statin prescription, religiously. She doesn’t need to know they go in the garbage. But, the overlord insurance carriers can see I’m renewing my meds on schedule. Waiting to see how my diet changes my numbers. Drs will be 👏🏻 about how effective the medicine is. 😂
@@BethB71506 exactly
@BethB71506
So you’re going to allow the medical overlords to credit statins for your health improvements? You’re just going to allow yourself to be used as testament to the benefits of taking statins? I’m respectfully letting you know that is harmful to the public. You should tell them the truth that you’re trashing them and eating right or they’ll just chalk you up to a story of success in the name of statins
Thank you for this video. When I was first diagnosed type 2, put on metformin & sent to a diatition. She wanted me on 200carb diet, eating cereals for breakfast & whole wheat breads. Really struggled to keep my numbers down but she said this is what I needed. Once I got cancer, I started ketavore & it was so much better! Cancer was found super early & removed (uterine cancer). I am now on carnivore, just 1st week, lol. But numbers are getting back in order & I am already feeling better, in just 1 week! This is such a great video, thank you
I know! Same here. I went on Atkins back in 2001. Saved me and his book got me to understand my body. I needed to stay around 25 carbs to get control. She was stuck on. aDA recommendations.
Glad you have found something that makes you feel better..🥳🌞
Congrats guys👍
I’m so happy for you. I know a couple of people who are dead pretty much because of doctors advice including nutrition advice. The domino effect was predictable, & it was so frustrating to have my concerned input ignored, and the dietitians advice embraced (“Yes, eat more of those refrigerated rolls so you can get enough calories”). 🤦🏻♀️ They just rushed him down the road towards full blown type one diabetes, insulin damage, followed by dialysis and blood thinners, followed by a fall and a brain bleed and taking him off of life support Because his brain couldn’t stand strong enough impulses to keep him breathing.
My ex dietician said to est cereals and bread incredible
My parents never forced me to eat anything. They didn’t even force me to eat breakfast in the morning before I left for school. I have no food allergies, no bloating, no anxiety, and no heartburn. I’m now 70 and on no medications. My cholesterol may be 265 and my LVL a bit elevated, but my HDL level, triglycerides and blood sugars are all in the normal range.
I worked in an inpatient (and locked) hospital detox unit for over 10 years and noticed the patients' alcohol using and withdrawal sympoms mimiced what I experienced with my compulsion and overconsumption of carbs. ✨️Imagine a society where detox units and treatment programs understand and implement what you're teaching ✨️💫. Thank you, thank you!
I totally agree. You can live very well for the rest of your life without booze, heroin or cannabis. But you can't live long without food. That's why it's hard to stop consuming carbs when sugar hits the same pleasure centers in the brain. After a couple of weeks eating Ketovore I found those carb triggers disappeared.
During a very low period in my life, I went to a local food bank for assistance. I walked out without taking food because it was all carbs.
It seems like a bad idea to give the people with the least amount of money food that is going to make them sick.
Carbs are cheap!
Sadly though carbs tend to be foods that are more shelf stable. Imagine the size of refrigerators food banks would need for handing out meats.
Yeah they haven’t heard of pemmican
That's what I see every time there is a piece on TV about food banks. Wall to wall carbs.
Had my annual physical yesterday;it's been about a year since eliminating seed oils, grains, sugar and processed foods and eat out rarely, eating fresh foods, mostly low carb and intermittent fasting. My body shed 20 lbs, acid reflux gone, arthritis much better, brain fog eliminated, all day energy. Told my doctor all this and he still warned me about eating meat(though I 'd told him I buy local, grass-fed). He acknowledged I'm in great health and expressed that he needs to follow my example!
I pray your Dr will start eating like you do.
What a wonderful women, we need more people like her that goes against the corruption. Cudos to michelle
I've had Ulcerative Colitis since 1990 and have been Keto-ish for a few years and Carnivore lately. Had a colonoscopy and the doctor said "keep doing what you are doing" without knowing my diet. Even if you can't stay 100percent all the time you will feel better.
I agree. Life and a diet is always a work in progress. And the reality is that some people are lucky enough to be able to eat some carbs without ill effects. There may even be some people who do better with far more carbohydrates such as low-carb vegetables than most humans. There are people who cannot eat meat or consume dairy products due to a tick bite.
A lot of dietitians or nutritionists had or have eating disorders, that's probably the reason why they choose a profession that revolves around food, eating, diet etc.
i’ve suffered from stomach issues for over 15 years, and started a proper human diet over a month ago and the stomach problems stopped completely!!! dropped 20 pounds also 👍
It's crazy how when the food is right the pounds melt away with seemingly no effort.
I am a recovering sugar addict, 2 months and down 11 lbs. Sugar is absolutely without a doubt addicting. I was skinny but suffering from migraines, chronic fatigue, depression, and always thinking about more sweets to eat.
Absolutely! I am from a family of alcoholics and noticed how I behaved around sugar much the same way they did around alcohol. I lied to myself and others about how much I was eating, hiding candy from family members for them to not know how much I had had on days when I binged. I binge and if I don't eat sugar and ideally nothing that tastes like sugar I very rarely feel the urge to binge. Most of the time I can also stop myself from binging when I feel like it. Eating sugar and carbs that is almost impossible instead. Now if I have sugar I almost feel hung over the next day, something feels off in my body.
I’ve always loved sweets but never was addicted to them. NOW I’m seriously addicted. I do control my intake but I’m out of my mind wanting sugar throughout the day. I’ve learned just how real sugar addiction is. I desperately want to start carnivore again and I keep putting it off for the obvious reason. I’m struggling so hard with the painful thought of giving up sugar permanently. Sugar addiction is so horrible.
@@ellalella1 this is so familiar to me. I’ve often compared myself to what I see on alcoholics. I have the same relationship with sugar. I do actually stop myself from binging on sugar....but then I lose my discipline and self control and I binge. I can really relate to everything you’re saying. You’re not alone.
@@ellalella1
People trying to stop addictions like smoking, alcohol, gambling, drugs, would be more successful, by changing their diet and lifestyle/exercise as well…. But especially diet.
@@ellalella1
Same part of the brain affected.
Great interview. I was an overweight kid with an overweight mom. I remember as a kid talking about our struggle with moderation because you can't just stop eating, like an alcoholic can stop drinking... we had no idea about it only being the carbs causing problems. I'm so grateful to know & be on the Keto-carnivor diet. Food no longer rules my life. I've lost 50 pounds and it just feels like I'm not swollen anymore. I still have more to loose, but the mental health and lack of joint pain is amazing.
Good luck to you, I wish you a long healthy life🌟💚🌞
Was in one of the hospitals in my town and (on keto) got lectured by an RD. She herself could've stood to lose a few meals herself but here she was lecturing me about eating. Go figure...
Majority of RD's look like they could benefit from losing a few pounds; however, they never accept the fact that their training inhibits their ability to make heathier life choices.
Thank you for pitching the idea of canned meats for the food bank! We are regular contributors to our local food bank (but new to carnivore diet) and we will begin this plan asap.
This is a great idea. People need meat, not all the other junk.
I thought about majoring in nutrition but I just didn't agree with what my nutrition class taught. That was 25 years ago.
Same. I didn't want to teach bs
Same. This was 1974 when the zero fat diet was advocated at University of Iowa CCU. After all my classes on the body and how important cholesterol was I thought it didn't seem right. My senior paper was about how sugar not fat was the problem. I mention tbe flawed Ancel Keys study. I received an A on paper, but never became a dietitian. Recently got a functnal nutrition certificate. Things have improved, but still pushing plant based, green smoorhies., etc. I started carnivore a few years ago for headaches and utis. Felt better. than back tracked and symptoms returned worse. My functional medicine doctor is advocating more vegies. I m back to high fat carnivore, figured I was iodine deficient, Now foiwing iodine dosing proticols and starting to feel alive. Doctor recommended 125mcg of iodine. I am up to 25 mg. Doctors do not always know best. The iodine piece, so important. I also had breast cancer 7 years ago. Cancer treatments are medical malpractice.
@@ninabourque2622 we have Ansel Keys with his skewed research to thank for the low fat theory
Great interview!!!! Imagine if all dietitians came on board. We would save the world!!
If they did, they'd actually serve a great purpose, increase their value and usefulness and then, SERVE the Health and wellness field, particularly us, the PEOPLE instead of the Industry of chemicals, irradiation, GMO's, fillers and up-cycling their industries waste to inject the cheapest and grab your taste buds with sugar, salts and wtf crap! Those that promote their crap is promoting Bill Gates and his ghouls garbage. Being the best example is the most attractive for others who are seeking and aware enough to ask for our solutions.
That's what I was thinking!

RN here seeking nutritional courses my whole (30 year career).
Adrenal fatigue and boat loads of stressful circumstances through my life.
Got past the barriers of what I was being taught and started carnivore 2 months ago.
I had a “holy grail” moment 2 weeks ago and I’ve been sleeping 6-7 hours. No more anxious brain or brain fog. I cried tears of happiness.
Close friends are noticing that even under stress of a new job that my mood is consistently better.
Life is much more simple now. Life doesn’t revolve around food, easy to cook a bunch of meat to meal prep, less cupboard space needed, sustained energy. I’m no longer “fighting” to get along daily in life.
Thanks for all the info it’s supported me in sticking with it in the beginning. People need to know especially when there is corruption / misinformation in the medical “systems”.
Thanks for what you do.
I’m coming back into my life better, stronger, faster.
I am shocked after only a couple of days how satisfied my appetite is. I am 59 and can not remeber the last time I felt satisfied after a meal and did not start thinking about more food.
Its so interesting to hear Michelle tell it all! Thanks💕 Im RD in a scandinavian country and I cant practice anymore due to the rules/law in hospitals. We have no private alternative, and I will not submit to the standard rekommendations. At 2007 I had a good work together with a wise MD who encouraged me to let some patients eat Paleo-keto-style. Great healthresults! Even lifesaving results for some of them. But interesting reactions from other dieticians… they wanted me to stop these advice, and were angry at me. Well, it all ended with me getting another job and continue to tell people around me how to eat to maintain health. Sorry to say, but most people are uninterested to make changes needed, or say its too hard even to try. Keep up the good work. God bless❤
Keep going and recommending... Yes, people are addicted to carbs. I was it too... But I have tried and had success... Several trials. But longer and longer...
I need an elimination diet... I started but now am on a work travel for three days. And had several carbohydrate meals... But I'll be again on track as I come back home.
God bless you 👍👍🙏
Here in Australia, the title of 'Dietician' is only available to those who've completed a standard course of training etc. However, Nutritionist is not a 'protected title' so individual's experience/training varies. Perhaps there is something similar in your next of the world - perhaps you can 'practice' your skills legally outside of the standard locations. However, at the root of all this 'advice' is strictly the person who either wants to make change or chooses not to --
@@KnackFarmer-theanswerismeat thanks! It takes 3 yrs in university to even be able to count as RD. Registered dietician, to work in hospitals.
Alcohol stops some people in their tracks, by meaning it’s too hard! Sugar is the next one! We been brainwashed since we were kids! I’ve got a brain, and I’m going to use it! Some degrees don’t deal with results, just story telling! But they bring in tuition fees every year, without stress about achieving results! Nice retirement with a title and good income!
@@KnackFarmer-theanswerismeat😊
I’ve been an RD for many years. Listening to Michelle was so refreshing! Thank you for telling the truth.
i talked to a dietician once, he started talking about how margarine was better for you than butter because it has "added vitamins".
Oh, well, I am so sorry, but most dieticians, at least here in Brazil, would never say that... This is not ALL dieticians.
I figured out I had thyroid cancer after 2 yrs ketovore and losing 100lbs. Cancer and ketovore where NOT related. My doctor wanted me to see a dietitian because ALL my blood work looked great but she feared I would get ketoacidosis. I parted ways with my doc because SHE was sick.
Wow....that is some deep ignorance.
😂 The Dietician has no idea about Diabetic Ketoacidosis and that it is nothing like Ketosis, other than having 4 letters in a row the same.
Ketosis is healthy.
Ketoacidosis kills.
I would know.
(For others reading this)
Preeeeeeeachhhhhhh it
Yup! I fired my doctor, too after he insisted I take a statin. Omg. He is killing people.
@Dog years
In Biblical times there was not a donut shop, fast food place on every corner. When you grow and cook your own food then eating those grains and fruits might be okay but who does that today? Not that many.
As a social worker I was involved in a weight loss group with a dietitian facilitating the behavioral health aspect. I had to quit because of what the dietitian was teaching. I couldn’t in good conscience be a part of teaching bad diet advice to patients.
we need more people like her. she has the ability to change peoples lives. more so than a physician.
Neisha, could you do a video on about 5 easy carnivore treats that a 23 month old would love? My granddaughter is coming to visit and I want to make her a little carnivore eater during that week. She snacks a lot, and I want to give her some good food to snack on. Thanks for everything you do. I started carnivore Bbb&e 9 weeks ago. The pain is gone in my knees (bone on bone, worst my Dr has ever seen). My inflammation in my joints is gone. I couldn't walk without a cane 9 weeks ago. Walking well now, even though I have lipedema. I can lift my legs to get in the car or walk!!!! I thought I was headed for the nursing home. Now, I can stand to cook and wash dishes. Still can't stand for long periods, but I can function again !!!Lost 20 pounds in the past 9 weeks. Still have pain in my back and hips after standing too long, but I am giving it time to heal. Carnivore and your advice has taken me from helpless and hopeless to confident and hopeful. I can not express how grateful I am that God put your family in my pathway to living again.
A RD told my wife to eat a high vegetable, high grains, low fat, low protein diet, to reduce her chances of getting breast cancer again. My mind was blown.
No one addresses hormones. I did research on the axis.(HPT, HPA, HPG, HPS and finally OAT axis!!!) Got my hormones right and everything changed along with Keto diet. I am very thin and have been my whole life. Put on horrible diets to gain weight which were killing me. My fat stores inside and not outside. I fired everyone and stopped listening to their lies. Thank you Dr. Berry for your truth!
As a fellow RD, I approve this message.
As a type 2 diabetic, & someone who suffers from an autoimmune disease, I went carnivore for 30 days & started noticing huge changes not only with my blood sugars (pretty much normal as can be there) but also with my mood. I honestly felt the difference with my entire being. No brain fog, headaches (I used to get) all gone… & even my autoimmune disease benefitted during this time.
After the 30 days I added a small amount of carbs back in in the form of vegetables, & boy what a mistake. I only ate less than 30 carbs a day, but my body started reverting back, & I started to feel differently again, & not in a good way. After a couple months of that, I have recently just started sticking to completely carnivore again. It’s only been about a week, but I’m hoping for that fix I had got in the first 30 days.
I like how you are describing a difference with your "entire being." Personally, i think it's like running on super clean fuel. I don't really know how to describe it! You feel a pureness energizing your brain and body. It often becomes euphoric
If you watch a Whole Foods Plant-based video, don't you find the same life-changing testimonies
@@kellyh5250 Hi Kelly - just going to pop in my observations - just basics because the nuances would take a book length response. With people going plant based, they are cutting out a lot of processed food and have early success - even with that cut alone. With Carnivore, they are cutting out toxins of plants and that brings success. With carnivore, it is a more advanced level than going plant-based because the plant based eaters still have those toxins. I don't know how long you've been studying these diets and results but I see that the plant based end up having to add meat back to regain their health. They get the early success and then end up with compounding illnesses. A big one is fertility problems. (I've studied since the 1970s - literally started taking notes as a child because my mom was doing keto back then).
@@librarianlovesrick Wow. Thank you. Yes, I was too damned hungry on WFPB and would get hypoglycemic.
I'm concerned about carnivore because I have some significant carotid blockage....and how can you not eat vegetables...or in-season fruit...or pecan pie?
I almost finished my dietetic degree, but I just couldn't lie to the elderly, and those in poor health.
I'm an advocate for Carnivore, or at least Keto.
What did you decide to do instead? Do you see an alternative route for "carnivore nutritionists/dieticians" where they can truly help people and not promote nonsense advice?
Retired dietitian. I got out of the job when a patient at a nursing home started gaining weight and the nurse came to me and told me this patient could not gain weight because the home would lose their funding from the government.
Wow 😱
A) profoundly dumb lie if it isn't true; B) more proof that the government is evil if it is true (not like i needed more proof).
Susan, did you mean that the patient should not gain weight so government funding will continue? Thank you.
@@KAT-dg6el you haven't listened to the whole conversation then....if you don't follow their guidelines you're out...
@@KAT-dg6el obviously the government was in charge of this home or this patient’s healthcare and this particular patient gaining weight would go against what was expected for this patient. She probably needed to gain weight. Sounds like a messed up European healthcare system to me.
My doc sent me to dietician who told me I should have 30-90 carbs PER MEAL! Her office was filled with cardboard boxes of processed food and she even gave me some coupons. Yikes! Bye bye!
In the 50's&60's our mother stayed at home and cooked our food .when the 70 's started we had a lot of chemicals added in our food and made a lot of us sick
To the people who are vegan because they think that plants don’t have feelings, I read a story today about how plants actually scream when they’re distressed, but it’s at a frequency that humans can’t normally hear. Scientists were able to capture the sound though. I listened to it and sounds like a rhythmic clicking noise. I just thought it was interesting that plants audibly display distress, so you aren’t getting a pass by eating just plants either. I’m keto and not carnivore so I do eat vegetables, but plants don’t want to be eaten either which is why they have chemicals that may cause distress in your body when you eat them.
Fascinating! Just bought your audiobook Michelle (I’ve got all yours Dr B) I’ve just realised that my eating disorder started after I became vegetarian at the age of 18. Now nearing my 60s and ketovore, am able to manage the cravings so much better. Not completely cured, but food no longer consumes me ; I eat it!!
I've been told to "not be so picky" and "just eat normal." All my life. Even after I married, my husband thought that I should just eat the way he did, and never special-order anything because special orders are what are most often messed up. And how dare I be American and not love cheap cheeseburgers with thick bread, vegetables that I disliked, and fake cheese made of seed oils, while my health got worse and worse. Already have the Dietician's Dilemna on my shopping list. The modern foods all added up to me having two food allergies, and multiple autoimmune reactions.
Dietitians use the term moderation… it’s like going to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and telling everyone there that if they just drink in moderation they will be alright.. Lol
@@KAT-dg6el yes definitely.. but they can tell people that sugar and flour isn’t really food. It’s more of a drug and that there is no such thing as an essential carb so don’t have it at all… especially in moderation.
@@KAT-dg6el
You can stop eating carbs.
You can eat Carnivore and have craving fall away fast.
AA sponsored by budweiser! I have never heard it put that clearly. As a recovering alcoholic (along with many other addictions) this really hit home!
AA is not sponsored by any company. It,s members give whayever they can at meetings to pay the rent on the church basements etc. and the coffee. Don't confuse folks!
IMHO, AA Seems to be a poor analogy. If AA is funded by an alcoholic beverage company, it is ok using those funds to advocate against that company. The Academy of Nutrition Dietetic Association is the opposite of your analogy. They are a pro-marketing arm of the junk food industry. They are actually funded by the junk food industry and then promote use of those products. They will not bite the hand that feeds them...
I have never thought dieticians knew much about healthy eating, so I never talk to them.
I love that on a low carb diet that I stopped craving sugar and other carbs.
I stopped eating my normal diet because my stomach started hurting when I ate certain foods. I ended up eating very little (mainly shakes, bone broth, coconut oil for extra calories), lost so much weight, they finally did blood work for possible cancer. Eventually they did upper and lower GI and found an ulcer from too much motrin (high doses prescribed for adenomyosis) and h pylori. I really thought I had an eating disorder - a fear of food - and technically I did. But...because I was 40 pounds overweight, no one questioned the loss in the beginning. They congratulated me!! I had to complain loudly because I knew something was not right!
I suffered from bulimia nervosa for more than twenty years. During this time, I underwent numerous therapies and attempts to stop binging and purging. Always been told I can't exclude any food groups, including junk food, such as biscuits and pizza, as apparently that's what eating “normally” is. At some point, I quit trying and settle with the thought that I will be always on and off binging. Although my physical health was never too bad - considering the long history of ed - my mental health started to plummet at some point, with alternating episodes of depression and severe anxiety. I came across ketogenic diet and its benefits for mental health about two years ago, and decided to give it a try. For the first time in my life, I was able to eat when I'm hungry and forget about food between the meals, which is an amazing feeling for someone who was obsessing about eating/not eating 24/7. I wonder how many people with ed, who struggle to get better with conventional solution, would benefit from this approach. If we agree that sugar addiction is possible, than isn't asking a bulimic person to eat one doughnut and stop like asking an alcoholic to have one drink? God bless you, doctor Berry.
I started eating mostly meat and eggs for 1.5 months. I've lost 5 lbs and my IBS-C is gone. I have a healthy bowel movement every morning like clockwork. It took 2 weeks for significant improvement. I'm so happy and shocked. Hoping I can reintroduce dairy soon!
I would add one type of dairy at a time, after doing BBBE, and adding back dairy, my arthritis started flaring again!
I would try heavy whipping cream first. It's the only dairy I've found that doesn't bother my gut.
Most dairy has vitamin D3 added. Vitamin D3 is cholecalciferol which is also used as rat poison. Seriously. I highly recommend avoiding foods with rat poison added. There are some smaller, organic, or goat/sheep dairies that don't add anything.
@@shoshanafox727 So if you buy d3 supplements, do they have Cholecalciferol? Is that what you look for on the label?
I hear this over and over and over online. I'm near 6 weeks of being strict carnivore after a couple years of just eating very little processed carbs, mostly meat, but IBS. Regular BM still hasn't happened, so I still have IBS, just less volume. I'm not seeing any benefit from carnivore yet aside from some improved GERD issues. Gut health was the primary reason for trying carnivore, but I'm about ready to say screw this and eat me some collards lol.
I personnaly would NOT add dairy ever.... you will see your IBS coming back real quick dairy is INFLAMMATORY check out dr berg and berry and all of them no dairy !
I volunteer at a local food pantry once a week and we pretty much pass out boxes of diabetes. A lot of breads and desserts from the store bakeries. It's what we get from stores and through other donations.
We are given a lot of that, too. And I really feel bad handing it out. I am glad that we are able to hand out some frozen meat and some leafy greens.
That's so sad.
@@kimedmunds1209 we have some frozen meat and produce but not nearly as much as the baked goods and sometimes not enough for all who show up.
I had to forgo taking any products from a pantry and had to kind of starve instead. I am very sick as a result, but I was sick on the food too, so it made no difference. starve or starve with sugar and additives. That is what is felt like. Often the donations are the scraps no one else wants. It is very telling. It would be cool if everyone gave quality to food banks willingly.. But this is not how it is at this moment. I love that they mentioned to purposely take down protein rich foods to give there.
I would rather be given unhealthy food than not have anything to eat at all. Yes, it would be far better if food pantries could give people hamburger and chicken thighs with the skin, bones and fat to feed their family, but you are still making an important difference in hungry people's lives.
I am a 68 1/2 year old male. Last year (2022) in March I was tested with an A1C of 7. My doctor said "let's just keep an eye on it and see what happens , do you want an appointment with the Nutrition Department?" I said sure. When they called, I didn't call back. I have very little faith in conventional/institutional Nutritionists. Besides, I had been a gym rat for many years of my life, with lots of nutritional knowledge as it relates to exercise, weight control and strength training. I wasn't stupid, and I immediately knew that I just had to bear down and do the right thing. My old school thinking was that to not be diabetic I had to stop being a fat slob. I am 5'6" and I weighed 188.9 pounds. I began by trying a method that a lady friend who was younger than me had used with great success. She called it "Intermittent Fasting." Ever heard of it? I now prefer to refer to it as "time restricted eating". It is much more accurate and it sounds much less ominous. I started at 16 hours of fasting and an 8 hour window of eating. With time, the window became smaller and smaller, as did my portion sizes AND the ratio of carbs to proteins/fats. I eventually eliminated almost all sugar and most carbs. No bread, pasta, potatoes or rice. I began to lose weight immediately. By August I had lost 28 pounds. By September my A1C was 5.2. Below even pre-diabetes. I was stuck at just over 160 lbs since last summer. I wanted to get to my optimal BMI...154 lbs or less. 2 days ago I started Dr Berry's 30 day carnivore fat loss hack. Beef, bacon, butter and eggs. I'm already down to 159 (3rd day in) and I am no longer experiencing the dawn effect (unexplained high morning glucose) and my glucose readings are lower in general. I believe I'm going to do it!
You are right about the name, "time restricted eating" is way more accurate.
I am now 154.4 with a BMI 24.9 GOAL ACHIEVED!!!
When I played soccer and baseball in the late 90s/early 2000s, the coaches told us to eat a lot of carbs. Eat pasta, breads, fruits, bagels, and drink Gatorade. The doctors agreed. I felt like crap all the time. I was constipated, tired, and anxious all the time. I developed seizures in high school. My teammate died of a heart attack on the field. I stopped playing soccer after that. I knew something was wrong. I gained 40 pounds by the time I graduated college. I missed quite a few classes because I also had gerd and back and joint pain. I had high triglycerides, pre-diabetic, had ibsd, had elevated liver levels, was on statin drugs, and I had seizures for nearly 2 decades until I was diagnosed with celiac disease. It was bad. I avoided gluten and felt better and lost a bit of weight. My dad died of Lewy Body dementia a few years ago, so I did a lot of research about it and discovered this channel and others like it. After 1 year of being on a low carb diet, my bloodwork is normal, I'm off statins, lost 30 pounds, and I'm seizure free. I feel a lot better, and for the first time in 20 years, I played soccer again, but instead of playing with people my age, I played with my sons. Long story short, that high carb diet kills people of all ages, and it nearly killed me, and we were fit and young. If you're on a high carb diet, then get off it immediately! It is killing you. I try to eat less than 60 grams per day, and I have a lot more energy, feel stronger, and I'm more focused now than I did when I was younger.
I help run a weekly food pantry out of our church and I am so grateful that the North Alabama Food Bank allows us to purchase frozen meat and chicken every week for 14 cents a pound--that helps pay for the cost of the building and pay employees. We have also stockpiled canned meat in our pantry just in case there's another week the food bank doesn't have meat.
I love the idea of donating canned meat/fish to food banks! Such a positive way to help others, rather than the pastas and rice I donated before keto/carnavore.
That is so very true!! I went through a brief period in my life where I made use of food banks. It was almost all carbs! Pasta, rice, beans, bread, some canned vegetables. Protein? If you were lucky you would get a dozen eggs, meat of any kind was VERY rare.
There given because there fillers.
If I got poor enough to need the food pantry, I’d die (T1D).
Spam or tuna or the salmon w/bones & skins are often found and sometimes sardines, stews or chicken breasts are at food pantries
I used to tell them I was diabetic and my Dr wanted me to eat low carb. They were very kind to offer me extra meat and sent bags of candy home with me "for the kids"
My local FB loads you up on cakes, cookies, and candy.
Anorexia is starvation .of food , love , life .
Great interview , she answered alot of question all honest . Realy appreciate this .
I agree, anorexia is a condition in itself.Separate from the others bulimia goes hand in hand. I became a clinical nutrition in my twenties for these very reasons to figure out what was wrong with me.
Also a lot of this is a mental condition that needs to be treated. I remember losing a hundred and twenty pounds when I was fifteen and I was terrified to get it back and that started this cycle for me.
Eating meat does not correct mental health problems.But for people that could only eat one food group it helps.
Many elderly lose weight too fast bc all of their medications make them nauseous. If fed properly, they wouldn't need so many meds (if any) and they'd thrive longer.
👍. I’m really struggling to mentally undo all the dietary lies I’ve STRICTLY lived by for all my many adult decades which has caused me to be
- physically and mentally older than my calendar age,
- in terrible arthritic pain 24/7,
- being overweight.
- having an a sundry of autoimmune “disease” conditions including D2.
Please keep up the good work …. the struggle is real.
When we look at all this... all our lives we been lied and betrayed started (way before ) but by priest and religion .. they are actually the bad ones trying to dictate us the wrong stuff .. and it went on and on with doctors, gouvernements and more... so thank god for internet and people like this that can make us realise all that crap we been told before ! and make us take in hand our OWN LIVES back
For sure, you’re not alone! We are struggling now, because of poor guidance! No one wants to lose their health and looks! Love buy normal sized clothing that’s in style, good luck, you’re not alone!👍🏻🤞
Thank you so much Dr. Berry and to your guest Michelle Hurn. Awesome just awesome. Doc Berry is truly a hero!
What you describe about food banks is exactly what I watched with both my mother and mother in law. Both passed away from cardiovascular disease, one from stroke and one from CHF. EVERY time I took either of them to the food bank, they came out with cupcakes, cookies, and all the carb loaded ultra refined and ultra processed foods with tons of extra chemicals.
If you really want an eye-opener, try talking to an entire department full of faculty who teach nutrition. The dogma is strong. To get real change, we need to change what’s being taught to nutritionists and doctors. Doctors may not change, but I think there is potential to change dietetic curriculum.
At 73, I have reversed most of my health issues, and from 270 down to 190 my desired weight is in viewing sight 50 lbs down the road. My feet and legs no longer swell, congestive heart failure Ejection Fractiod is 55 type 2 diabetes is 5.4 autoimmune disease and so much more is gone. Off all meds including depression meds.
I wanted to be a dietitian and in my first year I changed my mind because of how new the science was and how ridiculous the food guide was. I learned how influential large food companies were and how liable I’d be to stick to what the college agrees on. Nope! Switched majors after first semester
But you know, this is exactly the reason why I am doing this. I want the challenge to change people's views and be a part of a revolution in people's diets. If everyone thinks like you, they will never die out...
Same.. it wasn't going to be worth it for me in the long run.. maybe if I were much younger, but I don't have that kind of fight left in me anymore..
"your brain will stop functioning without carbs" Imagine being a registered dietician and actually believing that.
😂
I could while away the hours
Conferrin with the flowers
Consultin with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin
While my thoughts were busy hatchin
If I only had a brain.
When Michelle speaks I am all ears. Have seen several YT interviews with her, and have read her book. She definitely 'gets it' and I am thankful she is one of us. We need a kajillion more like her, to turn the tide of propaganda by Big Food, Big Sugar and Big Pharma. Thanks to both of you for today's EXCELLENT interview.
They have to follow intentional flawed guidelines by FDA or they lose their liability insurance. Glad she is speaking the truth but she will get in trouble for this.
Big time!
She’s been Dr Berrys guest previously , so there’s a chance she didn’t get in an conflict .
We need more people with courage we have been lied to so much on protocols
@@gratefultammy Her career will suffer- she may need to pivot to functional medicine or something. They will not tolerate truth. Read The Flexner Report. It's all in there- it is ALL about money- make us sick, then treat us. It is very simple.
She already has been "in trouble." Loo look up her history. She's courageous!
My daughter developed gestational diabetes & when she told me I said I can fix it do keto. She immediately cut me off & told me she was working w a dietician. It was essentially weight watchers, measure your food & measure your blood
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this interview! I worked in the nutrition field (public health- access to food and nutrition education- the last 16 years with older adults) for 30+ years. About 20 years ago I learned that carbs were not my friend, and did Atkins with great success. Now doing low carb/keto. I got into some heated discussions about why the Dietary Guidelines for Americans allowed 75 gm of carb per meal……Glad to hear about Michelle’s project to get some recognition of the benefits of low carb/keto!!
I gave several patients today your RUclips channel to check you out. I’m all in and feeling so much better since I started this journey.
Been keto for 4 years and tended to eat a lot of cheese because I like and it is an easy way to get my fat high. Tried stopping cheese and it was causing some inflammation. Over and over I find I have to keep listening to my body. This morning my ketones were 2.1 and my gl was in the 80s. I feel pretty good for an 80 year old.
I’m grateful for this content. My doctor is supportive of keto/low carb and I’m managing to navigate this new lifestyle, bringing my A1c down from 7.6 to 6.7 in 3 months and losing over 20 pounds. I’ve stalled and beginning to recognize I cannot tolerate hardly any carbs. I soon realized that while my doctor is supportive, she doesn’t have much advice when I hit snags, so information gathering and trial and error are up to me. It’s apparent I need to go carnivore for awhile to get to the rest of my goals. Thanks again.
Thank you Michelle. My good friend is a dietitian and she always says everything in moderation too. I tell her I can’t eat carbs in moderation. It makes me so hungry. I’ve been doing ketovore the last few weeks and really liking it!
Thank you Dr Berry - and thank you Michelle!! Thank you for sharing your story and for calling out these large institutions for their hypocrisy and conflicts of interest!! Can’t wait to read your book!! ❤
One of the best shows yet. 🏆
Very illuminating, experience-based testimony that one "standard" diet does not work for everyone - especially when it's loaded with carbs!
I shared it with a friend who was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Dit myself, going against the standard diet simply gave me my life back.
Another Excellent Interview.!! It Drives me crazy when my friends have gone to a dietitian at the local hospital and they are told to eat a balanced diet, eat smaller portions through the day and move more.!!
