Way back in 1998 when I was a vegetarian and had a heart attack during my cardiac stress test my cardiologist told me it was caused by my stupid vegetarian diet and to immediately stop eating that way. He was way ahead of his time and saved my life on every level. I thank him everyday!!
@@Ann_Miller_Proves_GOD I did not fall off the treadmill. I was taken immediately to the cardiac catheterization lab. My cardiologist saw the MI evolving on the ECG and I felt it coming on. It couldn't have happened at a better place or time. Niw my heart is perfectly strong, no stents were needed and being carnivore I'm healthier now than I was then eating killer veggies.
@@meatdog *Wut About the GOOD Bacteria in yo GUT, that Grow on Cruciferous Veggies!!!!???* *I Eat OnLy Meat & I Get HoRRiBLe ConstiPated, Hard BLoody Rocks !!!*
I love how you start with “i was wrong”. Most doctors have such a big ego they can’t possibly admit that they could be wrong. Thank you so much for all you do, and standing up against big food and big pharma.
The relatives by marriage in my family can't admit being wrong because the insurance companies will not cover them in lawsuits if they admit a mistake. Oh sure,there were plenty in my 72 years who tried to talk down to me when I questioned their diagnosis so I fired them on the spot. I haven't seen any MDs in the last 10 years and that was due to an injury. I had my last physical about 20 years ago. PP (pill pushers)should replace the MD title for these quacks.
It just dawned on me recently that after years of having stiff hands upon waking, I don’t have that anymore. 69 yrs old. I went from 212 lbs to 165. I started 3 yrs ago and have found that 165 is my sweet spot. I never knew it would be so low. Never felt better. Won’t bore ya’ll with the other numerous improvements that I now enjoy. This sounds crazy, but I have learned to appreciate hunger. I don’t always drop what I’m doing and eat, I wait awhile and the hunger goes away. In my layman’s mind, my body is just shifting into fat burning and autophagy. I am not a pure carnivore, but close to it.
My numbers are close to yours 2021 I lost 50 pounds from 214 to 164. I’m at 169 now but I found out about the carnivore diet so I’m moving more to that instead of keto.
@jakebourland2212, I think I can answer this. I think it means allowing yourself to get knocked out of ketosis every once in a while. So for instance, I saw an interview with a man, who ate only meat or eggs but every once in a while, he would have a piece of fruit. He chose a meat diet, at a very young age and his family tried to fight him on it, had him at least try a food, which he would, and then the family just figured to let him simply eat his way and it has worked for him for 40 years. He’s like 54 now. He’s the guy, in Florida, who eats the armadillos or some sort of animal that is there in abundance. He has ducks, as pets and he eats the duck eggs. I think Dr. Chaffee did an interview with him. Go look it up, it’s good.
No its all wrong rig veda written 5000years ago in simavari states that.. Anything that is rooted from earth is only required for human survival.. But now a days the meat production is toxic in nature cows are given food that contains growth horomone, sex horomone and antibiotics low level ok if you were eating these meat 20years bck no harm now processed food are given to these animals and it causes cancer and heart decease
I'm a living testament to this very thing. Love vegetables, no denying that, but for the 70 years I was eating them, I constantly had painful, terrible issues, pretty much everything you listed. Went to keto four years ago, lost a good deal of weight, but the issues continued, and I actually began feeling much worse. Never realized at all that it might be the very things we're told to eat on keto.... Finally, FINALLY listened to all the carnivores on YT and made up my mind that I had nothing to lose except pain and inflammation, so went full-on carnivore two weeks ago. Within 48 hours I could feel improvements, and within ten days felt better than I have my entire seven decades. Now, two weeks in, I don't miss the vegetables, the nut flours I was making too many keto recipes with, none of it. It was listening to you, Dr. Berry, and to Mikhaila Peterson that finally convinced me that the time for change had arrived. Ms. Peterson's response to the question "Don't you get tired of eating the same few foods for every meal?" was exactly what I'm now thinking: "Yes, I do, but the alternative is so much worse!" That young woman went through proverbial hell until she figured out what was killing her and then made the necessary changes. I don't plan to ever go back to the old way of eating, not when carnivore has apparently eliminated, and is eliminating, decades of chronic pain and conditions that likely could have been avoided had such a way of eating been available when I was a kid and teen. I'm not faulting my parents---they raised us in the 1950s through the 70s, and did the absolute best with what knowledge was available at the time. But now it's time for me to take charge of my own life.
I’m with you! Nearly same age as you and always ate carbs constantly growing up. The only real success in weight loss has been with keto & I may try carnivore as I think it makes a lot of sense. Hunger gone when I eat meat!❤
YOu can't know what food the actual cause of the problems was that way. You'd need a study that accounts for all variables. aka, mixtures in the diet? hello?
@@siennaioana6763 I eat red meat 3 meals a day, every single day and have for years. My biomarkers are extremely good, I feel great and I am a very active athlete in multiple disciplines. Humans evolved for meat consumption.
I was vegetarian for much of my life and even when I included meat it was only bacon, chicken and fish, no red meat. I am a 79 year old woman and in the past few years I developed peripheral neuropathy and decided to try a carnivore diet to see if it helps. I never had a problem with veggies, and thanks to a ketogenic lifestyle for the past six years I gave up fruit apart from occasional berries. Although there has been no improvement in the neuropathy symptoms, it has not continued to progress and within two days of cutting out all plants seven months ago, and eating mainly beef and oily fish, my lifelong struggles with anxiety and depression just vanished. That alone is enough for me to remain on carnivore forever.
Sounds like life at 79 can just get better & better! May I recommend that you watch any of the many YT interview videos (including with KenDBerryMD!) that Neurologist/SleepSpecialist Dr. Stasha Gominak has done on how much-higher D "LEVELS" (not doses!) can fix our long-broken D-dependent microbiomes & sleep switches. Once we again get our nightly N-REM Delta Wave DeepSleep cycles, uninterrupted (mouth-taping helps a lot) our body can begin really fixing long ago broken bits that it would already have fixed if we had had not let our D levels down. Decades of high-sugar inflammation led our immune systems to eat our own peripheral nerve myelin sheaths, just like in Multiple sclerosis (MS)! But Keto at least ended additional damage. Sleep must be carefully supported to attempt repairs. I started Keto/IF after a new doc tested & got my level from a dangerous 6ng/ml pre-Covid, up to 54ng (135nmol) by the time I caught Covid almost asymptomatically at BMI=44 & 5 CovidComorbidities. I was first surprised how my decades of severe depression & many pains just fell away. So first, with new hope & motivation, I began Keto/IF! Then, several months later I found Gominak online and her SleepRite Protocol. I watched many of her 2-hour fascinating interviews, upped my dosage again to get my level up between 70-80ng/ml as she recommended, took some extra B's and amazingly my own 4-years of symptomatic peripheral neuropathy (previously masked for unknown years by my anti-seizure Carbamazepine/Tegretol!) and hot flashes quickly began disappearing! But I melted too much D-loaded fat far too fast into my bloodstream without dropping my dosage enough, had to quit cold turkey for a month just to bring my level back down. Tragically the neuropathy (and hot flashes) quickly reappeared. I have yet to repeat that amazing experience. But I know it will happen again soon, if I can just make myself get off of blue-light tech, go to bed at a good time and always tape my lips! (Not as easy as just getting my D into the right place.)
I found myself that a good dose ( 100-150mg) a day of vitamin B1 helped with my neuropathy. I have neuropathy because of chemotherapy treatment (Oxiplatin, capacetabine, treatment , burns the nerve endings ☹)
The thing about admitting you were wrong is just that. You were wrong. Dr Berry promoted his wrong understanding to his audience, 2,5 million people, according to the number of subscribers. I think that. in future, he aught to adopt a much less certain view of what he feel is right, take a more dialectical approach. I have been dubious of the anti-vegetarian body on the grounds that there are millions of vegetarians in this world who get by just fine, but his concern about processed foods is much more convincing.
@@davidtuer5825 Vegetarians do eat some forms of meat, Vegans however do not, and if you just look at them you will see how malnourished they are. Just do a search on you tube and watch their videos, they are mentally insane and extremely malnourished. They all have severe medical issues, almost all have gut issues. Vegetarians also are severely sickly, they have numerous health problems, diabetes being a big one and gut issues. They might "look" fine, and seem to get by fine, but they are all sick.
When I learned, at age 57, that veggies were not necessary for good nutrition I did a happy dance! I have never enjoyed a single one. And by going meat based, limited dairy, I no longer hurt/ache all over.
@Max Larson No you don't. Not at all. I have way more energy eating carnivore than I ever did eating carbs. I've been carnivore a year in August. There are plenty of carnivores who have eaten this way a decade or longer and they seem to be full of energy too.
Thank you so much Dr. Berry for your sincere sharing. After watching Dr. Anthony Chaffee’s talk on ‘Plants are trying to kill you”, I was shocked and immediately turned my diet from high fibre Keto to low fibre Keto with high fat high protein animal based Keto diet. The result was astonishing, my foggy brain, diarrhoea and tiredness after lunch were gone just within a week of trial. Another important discovery was about my mental health. I had been so defensive for so long time after becoming a vegetarian and vegan about 6 years ago. Not knowing it might be caused by the ‘defence system’ of the veggies I consumed. And the diarrhoea and sometimes constipation caused by my high fibre yet inflammatory diet. Besides, lacking of fat intake led to hormone imbalance. My emotion was so unstable and most of time, I was so negative. Now I become so energetic, so happy, so positive, so focused and so calm throughout the day. Thanks God! Thanks Universe for sending such a wonderful Doctors to us. God bless you Doctor Berry❤
During my life I have had a miserable existence of 10-12 hr liquid gut. Doc, you have changed my life. It was the veggies and grains all along. How could i have known considering the pervasive narrative of whole grains and lots of vegetables (not to mention lots of small meals, ugh). I am 70 yrs old and finally have the solution thanks to you. Carnivore forever!
Doc, As a former Respiratory Therapist, I found very few docs willing to do actual research. Please keep on doing your job. We need real docs. Thanks 😊
If he did the research, he would find. Without plants you suffer severe malnutrition. Carnivore is NOT sustainable. And that has been known since sailors started sailing out of sight of land.
He didn’t cite any research bro.. he literally didn’t cite a single one…. He literally said “All my research has shown yadda yadda here’s some random numbers and percentages yadda yadda”. This by no means is a credible video. It may be true sure and I like to hear him talk about his opinion but yeah by no means would this be labeled as credible lol.
@@JoanneMartin-d3b PLEASE!!!!!!! Where is any research supporting carnivore? There is none. It's a new fraud, scam. Unheard of until 4 years ago. Veganism, on the other hand dates back to the earliest written history. Come on. Just 1 peace of science. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! WITHOUT LIES.
I see people in the comments arguing that carnivore is ok if you are unwell, but if you get well, you can then go back to eating the things that made us unwell in the first place. I can't see the sense in that. If a diet makes you well, why not keep eating it?
One thing I noticed from watching one of my favorite shows "Alone" where contestants try to survive alone in extreme wilderness. The contestants that are able to get fatty meat last the longest. The ones that try to survive on gathering plants, berries and fungi get eliminated for malnutrition.
@@lukev483 and @George, there is no question that we can survive several weeks on meat, and there is no question that we can survive several weeks on beans and tortillas. We can even survive for several weeks on no food at all. So "surviving for several weeks" isn't a good way to determine which is better. You need to look at whether a deficiency is developing, and how long you can go until the deficiency interferes with survival. Without sophisticated laboratory equipment, you will need a longer period of time to determine which kind of diet is problematic.
The fact that you’re able to admit that you are wrong, let alone to hundreds of thousands of viewers, makes me trust you all the more - a sign of good character. Too many people (especially highly intelligent people) let their pride get in the way and will stubbornly hold onto their positions out of fear of backlash. Props to you, doc!
Yeah, but I once read a really interesting book called,. "Why your Doctor Lies to You", and he is a doctor. So, how can we really be sure and trust him? Anyway, great book, I highly recommend buying it.
@@dennisgarber 😆 It's hilarious that you think THIS "doctor" is THE ONE immune to lying... Please, He's got his millionaire lifestyle to uphold. He's not a picture of health either with his fire engine red skin tone. But follow him SHEEP 🐑 🐏 🐑
I have lived my whole life, fifty years, without vegetables. I refused to eat them as a kid and never started. I have heard my whole life that I HAD to eat vegetables to be healthy and not malnourished. Well I have never had a serious health concern. I take no medication, have no ailments, perfect bloodwork and I weigh the same as I did in high school.
How many people can say this: 'I weigh the same as I did in high school'. Most people are at least tripple thier high school weight by 30 cause of the fast food and high-carb diet!
My father-in-law, who lived until he was 102, ate bacon and eggs for breakfast and consumed olive oil the way most other people consume butter and he wasn't big on vegetables and salad.
Brendan, that is great. The problem is that there is no way to know AHEAD OF TIME if you are one of the lucky ones or not. There were many heavy cigarette smokers who lived long and perhaps very healthy lives too. Yet, a huge sector of those generations were wiped out by lung and related cancers. If you have a crystal ball.... Plus, your father in law grew up most of his life in a time when the foods were healthy, few if any pesticides and poisons, we had clean water and air. Today, we are at a disadvantage to all of that.
My coworker friend has a friend that works with the medical examiner. 83 year lady passed away but when they looked at the heart she had no plaque in her arteries. She included olive oil and olives more than the average person would in her diet.
I hardly ever eat or buy veggies. I rather spend my money on eggs pork ,red meats ,ribs ,bacon butter bacon grease and garlic ,onion , mint , cilantro, creme cheese coffee and sometimes I consume something sweet. And Dr I'm losing more every week
My bloating and gas are gone since starting this. but the biggest surprise is my bronchial asma has gone away .no more inhaler = $198.00 saved a month 👍👍
I may go back to krauts on occasion after a few months. Joints and older injuries aches and pain are better after cutting out a the small portion of berries and the so called “healthy” leafy green vegetables.
I'm glad you included the statement " not everybody "....almost every doctor & nutritionist on the net tries to lump everyone into the same catagory but everyone IS DIFFERENT!....everyone has a different body chemistry, different digestive tolerance & so on....studies have shown people have different blood sugar & insulin spikes to the same foods as well.
Following you direct advice, I now know I can eat red meat without health problems; I diverticular disease which has, almost, completely destroyed my large Colon. Turns out it was the vegetables and NOT the red meat which caused this!!! I am completely intoletant to Lectins and Oxalates. I just wish I knew this 14yrs ago when I was first diagnosed, the doctors and co sultants all blamed it on eating red meat. I followed their advice to my detriment. I now know better!!! I just hope my bowel and Large Colon will heal now that I have removed these vegetable poisons from my diet.
How are you doing now? I have diverticular disease as well and went through a bad flare up and infection when I went off track from carnivore. I'm pretty sure fiber is trying to kill me. lol Back on track now.
When I am strict with carnivore, i.e., beef, bacon, butter, and eggs, some pork chops and gammon occasionally, I am really good. But I give in to temptation now and then and have some chocolate and some carbs and veggies, and I can very quickly feel the inflammation and discomfort. I am currently off-track, but will be going back on at the weekend because if I'm not careful, I will have another flare up and be back in hospital.
Wow, I am having that problem too, and the gastroenterologist advised to eat more fibrous vegetables and fiber in general! It reminds me of how oncologists offices have candy dishes on the receptionist counter, and they say that sugar has nothing to do with cancer! Oh yes it does! It feeds it! And the gastroenterologist saying to eat more fiber? Yeah! Probably will make my gut worse….which translates into more $$$ for him….just like the oncologist! They tell you to do things that will benefit them!
@@viktorpoulter8184 exactly. too many people believe they find "truth" as soon as someone confirms their bias. And honestly, I agree with what a lot of what Mr. Berry says here--I am one who has found great benefit from cutting carbs, especially with mental health and insomnia. But we have to take in a variety of information from many reputable sources and even then we draw conclusions based on our own experience, bias, and anecdotal evidence. The "truth" for one person may not be the truth for another.
I have gastric distress after eating certain vegetables. I have drastically curtailed my consumption and no longer suffer lower abdominal gas pains which I call green apple gripper. I used to eat at least two cups of cooked vegetables daily and on some days salads. Its wonderful Dr. Berry is disclosing that not all people can tolerate plants.
I've always had terrible reactions to certain vegetables since I was a young kid. My distress was ignored and I was assured by my parents and doctors that veges weren't the problem, and that if I wanted to feel better, I had to eat MORE! Years of terrible stomach pains, literal vomiting after eating certain cruciferous veges (which was seen as "being dramatic"), having to lie down and moan on the coach after a meal, it was all somehow seen as a moral failing on my part. Years later, come to find that I have a huge insensitivity/allergy to broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, etc. Oops! I've had so many experiences with doctors not listening to me and ignoring my experience.
Even when I tried keto, I still incorporated some veges, but only ones I could just barely tolerate. When I told my doctor I was doing keto, he was VERY concerned. We did blood work, then he told me to come in months later to follow up. He said that I would be stressing my kidneys and liver, and that I should proceed with caution and expect bad results on biomarkers my next visit. Well, at my next appointment, my doctor comes in flustered. He kept shaking his head and saying that my blood tests showed that my kidneys and liver were "perfect", in his own disappointed words. He couldn't believe it and was visibly annoyed/frustrated, like he WANTED the results to be bad. You know what he recommended after all those tests? That I stop keto...When asked "why?", given my results, he said "I have no test results to back this up, but *I FEEL LIKE* it just cant be good for you". I'd never had results that good or felt better in my life! And that was his recommendation! He had no knowledge of ketosis besides being taught it was a "starvation mode". Eventually, he sort of came around and said to do what I wanted, as long as I was healthy and felt good, but that took a while. I was his "patient zero" when it came to keto. This was just another experience that made me reconsider the idea that doctors and family members (who also thought I was crazy at the time) always know what's best for me.
@Brukner right!!! A normal healthy comment section would have comments from both sides but they’re all in his favour 🤨 can’t be right your telling me not one person disagrees with what he’s saying 🤣
This is GREAT info! Liked and shared. I'm one of those people who has to eliminate ALL plants. Also, respectively, you've never looked better, Dr. Berry!
I followed Dr. Berry's move to carnivore when I was on methotrexate for my RA. Keto showed great improvement, but healing was very slow. Eliminating all plant foods for a month allowed me to get the last of my medications in another 2 weeks, and for the first couple of months after than I only got RA pains when I'd have a small Kale salad. I'm not 100% carnivore now, meat heavy Keto most days, but at least a couple days a week all carnivore. I simply can't believe how good I feel at 69, it's a case of you don't know what you are missing till you try it.
I had seen on you tube that Drs. We’re trying to find out why so many Vegetarians were getting Cancer. My good friend, a chiropractor was a Vegetarian. He appeared to be in excellent condition. He advised me he had a tumor he was treating naturally. I advised him to see Dr. I saw him a week before he passed. He had stomach Cancer. He never told his family. As I gradually transition from keto to Carnivore, I’m looking forward to going to only Carnivore I think of my friend and wonder if I could have changed his mind.
Dr. Berry I cannot begin to express the gratitude for the research you do and your decision to bring the amalgamation of your studies to the world. I'm 64 and have been studying nutrition for decades. Since 2016 after an accident which left me with 3 crushed vertebra I have intensified my studies. As I pulled published papers I began to see patterns and certian persons like yourself popped up on my RUclips feed. I grew up on a ranch and raising animals allowed me to experiment with the feeds of animals. Through working with animals I was aware that most plant foods were not easily assimilated. However now through your excellent research and public teachings I now realize that I reached a stage of malnutrition after my back was broken, that combined with a lifetime of struggle with allergies and asthma meant I was fighting INFLAMMATION. This idea was new to me. My GP of 18 years had only just been coming to new realizations himself when the Pandemic hit and he resigned. With chaos reigning and after 4 bouts of serious upper respiratory infections during the past two years I became desperate and dumped all my meds and went carnivore as an elimination diet to see what was causing my inflammation. I was shocked to find that not only must I keep my carbs exceedingly low but I have a problem with cow dairy that I never knew I had! My " mysterious" episodes of idiopathic joint and muscle pain is from grains, dairy ( bovine) , fruits and super processed food like items. Keep preaching Doctor ! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
I am also carnivore, and will never go back to a standard diet, I'm free of years of arthritis, my lupus is failing away, something my Drs said I had to live with as there's no cure, I can't afford to cheat as. pains are back, I appreciate Dr Berry for giving me my life back
The regular fruits and veggies belong to Monsanto = BILL GATES, they contain more than 45 PESTICIDES 😡But ORGANIC or NONGMO i am Fine my mother is almost 90 years and never use medication. Almost perfect health 👁👁but she eats Organic.
can i ask about your idiopathic muscle pain? where was most of the pain and were you by any chance taking any statins? I ask as i have had terrible myositis myalgia from taking statins even though i quit 15 years ago i have spent the past 15 years very weak and exercise intolerant because of flare up. I am seriously considering this WOE but very afraid of making things worse.
I'm not so against vegetables but I have gone 100% carnivore (except the 2 times I cooked Neisha's friend's keto chilli recipe). It's only been a couple of months but it is astounding the improvement in health that I have experienced. I've lost about 17kg and my flexibility has increased tremendously. I never knew that I had so much inflammation in my joints until it disappeared!
@@ezcanor8262 I think it is likely wrong to look for a specific plant based food to pin the achy knees on, although wheat, nuts and legumes were probably my guess for myself. However, I think it is more the whole combination of things, from lower overall carbs, to less overall adipose signaling and weight, to converting away from burning sugars for energy and optimizing to burning ketones.
@@dennisgarber well I handle legumes great other than that grains not so much. I replaced rice with potatoes and eat more beef. Definitely seen an improvement of clarity.
I was so hopeful when I began keto Nov of 2019. I dropped 85 lbs in 6 months. But slowly, instead of my eczema getting better, it ravaged me. Painfully so. I'll never know exactly why...but I eventually, one by one cut everything out but meat, butter, heavy cream, coffee and a much reduced amount of sweetener for my coffee. Mostly ribeye and bacon for meat. Only chicken is chicken liver. And after cutting out the last vegetable...my eczema finally, blessedly left me. Its only been 3 months, but after 35 years of never being completely cleared up, (and like I said, keto seemed to make it worse...even steroids didn't ease it) I am 100% scale/blister/rash free. Knocking on wood of course. 😆 Thanks a million Dr Berry!! I NEVER would have given up every veg without you AND Neisha too! I mean it.🙏🏻 Edit...my daughter reminded me that i have several times while mashing up potatoes (from the garden) I will take 2-3 bites of the skins slathered in butter. Hubby doesn't care for a bunch of potato skin and I tend to love it. Only 2-3 bites though. But still...it counts. ✌
Eczema.. A very terrible one, ive been battling with the same for the past 1 year, keto made me lose a lotta weight but didnt cut out the eczema, now after switching to carnivore for just a week, the symptoms are vanishing.. Wow! Only issue is everyone thinking im gona die doing carnivore, they dont know what theyve been missing
I would strongly recommend you completely eliminate artificial sweeteners. Youd be better off having a teaspoon of sugar. Sugar is toxic in excess doses. But artificial sweeteners are toxic at any dose.
@@Leamoyer No...I gave up...one by one, plant food. But i do occasionally eat a couple 3 bites of buttered potato skins from my husbands baked potato. Well...and coffee. It too is a plant. Im not sure WHAT caused my eczema. Perhaps peanuts? I dont know why keto made it so much worse. Maybe the extra almonds from the newly added almond flours? Its all guessing. I did think it might have been monkfruit at one point. Or the mct oil. But truly i do not know. Those bites of potato skin don't seem to have a negative affect though. 🤞
I can attest to what the doc is saying. I was a vegetarian for 30+ years. My whole diet consisted of high oxalate foods, all of my favorites (spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, almonds) that I ate everyday for a LONG time. I wasn't aware of the effects until after, when I developed multiple, huge kidney stones a couple of years ago. Then I got arthritis...everywhere in my body. I'm going to transition to the carnivore way of eating for 90 days. See if it helps.
The bottom line here is make adjustments to your diet to find out what works best for you're own body chemistry wether it be few carbs or no carbs. Don't let anyone tell you this is wrong or that's bad for you if it's clearly working.
Im pretty sure all humans have same chemistry.. maybe some feel they are processing plants ok, but inside they aren’t. Some may feel they do fine on plant based diets, but they really aren’t inside. Feeling is one thing. Reality is another. In reality eating a plant based diet is wrong for any human. They body cannot metabolize the vitamins in plants. Well maybe a minuscule amount, but nowhere as good as meat. We are designed to eat meat. Thats it. Anything else is because we are starving and doing so until meat can be found. Thats the science of human diet as a result of scientific research and historical data
I have noticed that especially my friends with Scandinavian heritage often have troubles with digesting certain veggies, while my Mediterranean friends can eat a rich variety of veggies often without problems. This is probably due to ancestral exposure to foods.
Anyone who can admit to being wrong let alone a physician is worth his weight in gold, IMO. I am in 3 days now doing this 90 day challenge. Feeling very overwhelmed with thinking of needing to learn a new way of cooking , I just jumped in. Tons of inflammation, no energy and psoriasis. My hands are raw from psoriasis. I am 58, retired from business at 54 & retired life needs lots of energy setting up a new life in the country. I am in doc, I’ll give it all I got and give an update at the end of the 90. BTW, can you shed some light on herbs used for herbal medicine. I am in the midst of learning to become an herbalist. The way our medical system is going in 🇨🇦 our drs are dropping like flies, people are choosing alternate options. Do dried herbs effect the body like the vegetable scenario you’ve painted? Many , keep swimming against the current. ♥️👍🏻🇨🇦.
Subbed just because you're one of the rare few that is willing to overcome their own hubris for the sake of constantly learning and striving for the right information regardless of how it makes us look. It's extremely hard to find this since people are so worried about themselves and their views these days. Ironically I'm sure many will feel the same as I do and will subscribe on the basis of your character since, at the end of the day no one is right all the time, but rarely does anyone admit it. Thanks Ken!
I'm carnivore now for just a very short time and I have seen a noticeable decrease in my arthritis pains. I have 3 friends who are die hard vegans. They eat a pound of veggies a day. Kale, sweet potatoes, broccoli, carrots every single day with brown rice. Never ever complain of aches and pains. I guess everyone is different. They also consume 0 sugar. Maybe that's the difference.
I have a lifelong vegetarian friend whos type two diabetes has advanced to the point where he is taking daily pills and now weekly injections. He is on pain management medication for his osteoarthritis. He is in such pain he can't even shake my hand. Sad but true.
He usually products with hidden sugar or carbs? Make sure he reads the labels and avoid artificial sweeteners like maltdrexion and Splenda sweeteners and aspartame
I appreciate your honesty and willingness to keep trying and listening to others ---- I have been 100% Carnivore for 32 weeks now --- no plants AT ALL, nothing but animal products --- meat, eggs, cheese, bacon, butter --- highly recommend --- I continue to get smaller and smaller ( I was very overweight ), my psoriasis is completely gone, I have so much energy, I wish I would have done this years ago !!
Me too. Apparently. I believed I had a very healthy diet. And Keto last 2 years which gave me good results. However at 70 the aches and pains were increasing. I started to limp. Felt like my legs would eventually die on me. Other issues too, all chocked up to old age. Changed to 0 carb carnivore and within 10 days all the aches and pains were gone, twice the energy, other improvements too. So I must have been wrong. I've been gobsmacked. This goes against everything I believed but now I've experienced some amazing results in short order. Wow!
I am 65 years old, tomorrow it will be my first 100 days on carnivore. many bad things have happened. I have lost 49.1 pounds; the first two weeks I was sick with the carb/keto flu ;my acid reflux disappeared my skin looks great, no heartburn stopped taking anti acids. my right hip stopped hurting when I sleep- sleep much better . hypoglycemia is gone, I now can go 24 hours on a fast with no sweats or blood sugar crash. I stopped taking sleeping pills, sleep has improved. today I weighted 232.8 pounds. this is so bad- OK no its not I look and feel great. I discovered that carbs make me sick.
Good job! This is almost exactly my story as well. I just haven’t been as strict about veggies and now I’m going to take the next step and eliminate carbs because I still have some slight stiffness and aches though I’m markedly light years from feeling like death warmed over 4 years months ago when I started this journey!
Dr Berry, I have an alcoholic fatty liver and my doctor insists that I eat multitudes of leafy green vegetables and stop eating red meat and high fat. He says that I don’t follow his direction then he will have no choice but to talk to my health insurance provider to possibly have my coverage dropped by the insurance provider. I’ve lost 78 lbs on the carnivore diet and feel wonderful and am very thankful for your guidance. Who the heck do you trust anymore. God Bless and thank you for what you do,
It is unacceptable for doctor to threaten a patient and cause the patient to be frightened about loosing their medical coverage! Is it possible to switch to a new doctor? I personally wouldn't be going to a doctor who threatened me!
Some doctors are too high-handed and don’t seem to believe that the patient should have free will. If a better choice in physicians is available….consider taking it.
I’m one that can’t do very many carbs! Recently diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, (I follow Neisha) I bought the grass fed liver and bone marrow supplements. I bought the liquid iodine you recommend. I cleared out my pantry of all carbs, stocked up on grass fed beef, eggs, and bacon. I ordered Keto Chow electrolytes. I’m praying this works to straighten out my system’s inflammation. Thank you, Dr Berry, for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
You literally sound exactly like myself, I although cannot eat eggs or bacon ( unless iIt’s beef bacon). February of this year at 52 with Hasi’s also. I have been only eating ribeyes once a day 25 lbs down it was a slow process but worth it not only for Weight but the auto immune is under control, no more pains from inflammation. I never thought I could do it and was skeptical….. But this is not a diet for me it’s a lifestyle now I feel more mental clarity then I ever have. I did try keto February of 2021, it didn’t help me at all I cannot eat vegetables and have tried but the inflammation and my mood are severe . Good luck
@@edita5 Hi. How many ounces of ribeye do you eat a day? I’m not sure if I should start with eating twice a day, then go to once. I don’t want to feel like I’m starving in the beginning of this journey. It might be too discouraging and I won’t stick to it.
@@kimberlyhart5692 …Thank you! I’m excited to feel good again and meet people taking the same journey, for moral support! You and I share the same last name!
I'm like 10 days into the BBBE diet. I haven't felt this good in a long time. Almost back at my goal weight, blood pressure is already way down. It's 9pm and I just ate my first meal today because I simply wasn't hungry today. My blood sugar is stable, I eat when hungry, and I eat until I'm full. Thank you Dr. Berry! Discovered you through the Survival Podcast!
@@amnakimail I just started carnivore and have not had any constipation problems, which I was concerned would happen. It doesn't happen. Obviously your system is going to need to adjust for a little while. Everything doesn't come out perfectly. It can be a little loose too, on occasion, mostly not. But constipation is not a problem.
@@amnakimail No. Are you eating enough fat? If you're not I hear that that is definitely an issue. I'm cooking my ground beef in butter or bacon grease and even adding a little beef tallow. I don't drain the meat. It's the fattiest, most greasy meat I've ever eaten but it's very filling. I can eat once a day at this point if I want. I could feel my gall bladder squeezing quite a bit for the first few days as it was doing its thing with bile. I'd just go lay down during those times, but I haven't felt it do that over the last few days.
@@greenlifesaves I normally have mine at 5pm but yesterday I just felt energized the whole day but decided to eat before bed because I didn't want to wake up feeling famished. Funny that I'm actually writing that because I haven't felt that sugar-induced panicky hunger feeling since I started this diet.
I have great respect for you saying 'I was wrong and not everyone may need total avoidance of plant base veggies. I have literally started watching you per my PCP doctor advice. He is a fan of yours!
My husband had a huge polyp removed from his intestines many years ago and the surgery left scar tissue that makes it very difficult for vegetables to pass through his system now. Things like spinach, kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts etc. will completely clog him up and leave him in excruciating pain for a couple days, sometimes so severe that he has to seek hospital intervention. We have figured out what he can and can't eat now, but before we realized what was causing the problem, it was an awful experience for him to go through.
After 2 decades of worsening gout and body weight I've been doing great on a carnivore (/kitovore but only fatty fruites, garlic herbs n some salads) diet. Lost 32kg in 6 months, no more gout, libido through the roof...yet after meeting my new love, awesome Filippina lady, i started eating some veggies again that she re-introduced to my diet when she cooks their great traditional dishes. Two things are happening now only a few months into it, i gained weight again {10kg) and feel the occasional beginning of a flare-up coming on. Thank you for this explanation, puts everything into perspective.
I was on Dr Fuhrmans vegan diet for years! 16 years I think it was. I pounded greens and veggies and beans all day everyday. I wore a CGM and learned my blood sugar was sky rocketing and I had my nutrients tested and I was completely depleted in all vitamins and minerals. I never knew you can eat all these greens but not absorb a thing. Why doesn’t Dr Fuhrman know this?
We have meat eating digestive systems; one highly acidic stomach, one gall bladder, a liver, even meat eating/tearing/grinding teeth, etc. NOT three and four stomachs and flat sideways grinding teeth like ruminant animals.
I'm into my 2nd month of carnivore diet I haven't felt this good in years .I had high blood pressure and unbelievable joint pain, to the point I could barely walk on times . Type 2 diabetes very high cholesterol, I've had clubbed nails that were very brittle, not anymore .more great changes to my health . Thank God for you Dr Berry. I feel like I did 20 yrs ago .
I started the 3BE challenge on 9/1/22. Keeping strict to the challenge. I haven't strayed & keeping true to it. So far so good. Other RUclipsrs have been inspirational in their 3BE challenge experience. Carbs were my everything so I mentally prepared a few months before I started as I cook for the family. Very pleased with my progress & strength with this challenge. It's easy because I know what I'll be eating (variety of course) everyday. Thank you for this. Be well.
I think I'm going to take your 90-day challenge. And I don't really have any inflammation and I'm very active but I think that the plant eating which I do eat a lot of vegetables have some effect on my mental health. I could be wrong but I'm going to give it a shot.
It takes a real man and a great doctor to admit when he’s wrong about something. I appreciate this video. Ken mentions eating veggies in his book, so it’s good to get an update after much research.
Spot on Dr Berry ... a Person who can identify that they may have been wrong ... and then corrects their world view ... Is totally commendable ... Respect Sir 👍👍👍
@@truthman2471 Its really simple - if u are hungry at the morning just throw 5-6 eggs into pan and add few slices of bacon, if u arent - skip. When you are hungry again you can have whatever you want - Beef Steak, Chicken, Groundbeef etc etc. If the cut of meat you are preparing is lean - just add another eggs n bacon lol. Done.
Mostly eat free range beef and chicken, eggs, and tuna fish. Also bone broth. My fave veggies (all organic) are garlic, onions, leeks, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, squash, and cabbage (including as kimchee). Eat small amounts. Need fiber to stay regular. Don’t eat much fruit, except prunes and ripe bananas (regularity again.) I also occasionally eat avocados and tomatoes (fruits) in salad or guacamole.
How does the carnivore diet affect cholesterol? I was vegetarian for many years, than decided to sometimes eat meat and my cholesterol went from 160 to 212. In 6 months. So now not only do I have high blood pressure, but also high cholesterol.
You changed my life Dr Berry!!! I am on a carnivore diet one month for now! thanks to you, it took me just 22 min of your video to listen and one mouth later 25 lb less, happy, no inflammation, no osteoarthritis Pain on my knees and so much more…. And you are right. My husband is on a whole foods plant based diet fore 5 yrs now, he is doing great, but for me was a disaster, plants are not for everyone….
I recently saw on RUclips a lady of 83 who has been vegan for 50 years and raw vegan more recently. This lady looked half her age and is in glowing health, so now I’m confused! I did try vegan, but it was too complicated for me. I never knew what to eat. Carnivore is much simpler, so I think I’ll stick with it. Maybe the secret is that whether carnivore or vegan, we are cutting out junk and sugar?
@@rosemarybaxter9120 hi Rosemary. I agree with you, it’s not difficult to find very healthy and active old vegetarian’s. In fact, I might say that it’s fairly hard to find that with carnivore devotees. But I could be corrected if I’m wrong. I’m actually moving back to a plant based diet as keto carnivore hasn’t done very well for me. Granted, plant-based diets are more complicated than carnivore, which is just meat. But that doesn’t mean they need to be terribly complex. Best to you!
I was vegetarian for 25 years. I seemed ok but developed osteoporosis. Like you I researched and now believe I was not getting nearly enough protein. Now you know people in our kentucky/ Tennessee region are partial to hog meat. Bacon in your challenge. But I also like it ground, season it myself. And then there’s pork chops, roasts etc. I can understand these people that “ain’t from around here” ignoring hog meat, but you have no excuse! Pasture raised pork is important around here. Bacon grease is so good to cook with, as is plain lard. Are you with me?
Wow, I think you've had a lucky escape ! I was vegan for around the same length of time as you. My bones started collapsing in 2011. After 14 or 15 fractures I questioned my diet. Added lots of animal foods. No more fractures. Doctors couldn't find anything that was causing the problem. So it must have been dietary deficiency. Scans continue to show improving bone density.
Pasture raised (slaughtered & frozen in late summer) also means you can get more Vitamin D, but dietary is never enough! Vitamin D insufficiency is why you are suffering from osteoporosis, like an adult form of weak-boned Rickets? (not from the inflammatory veggies/carbs), so please get your levels taken winter & summer to help set how much additional D you might need. Lots of small fatty fish or salmon, and of course pasture-raised meat and eggs can only get you part way there. Powerful Summer UVB and either a Winter or even a year-round supplement (like Fauci-the-Corrupt protects himself with) may be necessary to get evolutionarily replete, like the thin-happy-healthy Maasai at around 50ng/ml (who still die young in their many famines!
I’m glad you came out and gave information on this .. My husband and I have followed your advice for 2 years but I’ll have to say when I went back and watched your past videos I saw contradictions and was like,”what? “ That’s not what he said in the past?” . When that happens it makes one start to wonder. Your clarification and constant learning and sharing is much appreciated! Those that are willing to adapt are the ones that survive, that includes humans.
@@lovemusic1963ify well let me rephrase mammals .. my meaning is that those that can learn can adapt to our environment and live long and healthy lives .. In this case we are learning or relearning how to eat the way we were meant to eat before big food companies brainwashed us.. I am by no means an evolutionist.. I edited my comment as to not confuse..
Highly appreciative, and in full agreement with what was shared. Finding that my digestive system is increasingly struggling to cope with various plant produce I use to love consuming without trouble. Granted, some do better on a diet higher in plant foods; each has to find what works best for them at a specific time during their lives. As Weston Price concluded: NOT ONE DIET FOR ALL.
I'm 65 went keto and introduced all the recommended veggies and found that I acquired so much painful gas and bloating. I have no gall bladder and wasn't sure if I wasn't digesting like everyone else. I'm trying to rethink and do this challenge to eliminate the veggies. We'll see. My biggest obstacle is cooking new and forgetting the old indoctrinated way. Wish me luck. 👍
Things are different if you actually have no gall bladder. I don't know too much about it but a quick search I'd say make a conscion effort to pace yourself when eating, since it'll take longer for you to produce bile acids for fat digestion and acid neutralization. Good luck
The thing I love about you is the fact that you will change your mind on things. Your constantly learning and growing as good information comes out. This is what all Dr need to do.
Well, got to say, this is very discouraging and confusing after having watched your other videos on keto. I guess the take away from this is - dieting is not a science, it's more of an art, you have to listen to how your body feels. One size definitely does not fit all.
WELL is TRUE but THE NONORGANIC CONTAINS 45 pesticides! But ORGANIC fruits and vegetables are fine for me. If any food is not ORGANIC or at list NON GMO I feel Sick.See Bill Gates on MONSANTO .
I followed the advice in that video and felt like crap consuming broccoli and the other recommended veggies. I went back to strict keto and recovered quickly. You should take it down.
Dr Berry are you perhaps referring to the impact of High FODMAP foods? When diagnosed with Coeliac disease, switching to a gluten free diet resulted in a significant improvement in my Well-being. However, I was still plagued from time to time with gluten contamination type symptoms. It turned out to be the High FODMAP vegetables and fruits - in particular three foods I really like: onion, garlic and tomatoes. By reducing high FODMAP foods life improved even more.
I found out veggies bind me up which is why my multiple attempts at Keto failed. Thank god for Carnivore because among other things I have had NO issues with constipation 👍🏽
After eating fatty meat and basically BBBE for half a year, my doctor was astounded by my cholesterol scores and other health indicators during my physical. She said whatever I was doing to keep doing it. The next physical was after having to move into some temporary housing, while my new house was being built, for several months and eating out more often. I also started eating some of the keto plants during this time, still trying to be good though. My next physical my numbers were back to less than perfect, though not terrible, yet. My skin was starting to crack, my arthritis was acting up again. Back to meat it is. I'm betting my next physical will be outstanding once again. My HDL to LDL ratio was great on just meat, and back to human normal (not good) when I was eating plants again.
My triglycerides were in the 300s on the so called "balanced diet" of whole grains, veggies, fruit, dairy, with minimal meat...I turned ketovore, ate LOTS of bacon, eggs, butter, avocodos, Lots of red meat and no veggies, berries on occassion. My triglycerides went down to 58.
Every time I send this video to someone, they respond with shock. Because they have been eating veggies by the bushels their whole life..thank you for your knowledge and posting these life saving videos..
Thank you for your insights . My own experience has been one of trial and error, I can eat broccoli leaves( young ones in salad and older leaves like kale- I can't eat kale) but not the flower head. Our veggies and grains were genetically interfered with after the Second World War with honest intentions to begin with. The people of Europe and Britain were starving and farmers in Australia and America began growing crops that had higher yields, were quick growing and could survive transport and storage for this rapidly growing export market. Unfortunately the nutritional profile of the grains and vegetables were altered and diminished. Not to mention the herbicides and pesticides that are added to our daily diet. We really don't know what we are putting into our bodies everyday.
now apply this to the animals we produce for food, what are they fed, how they spend their miserable short lives and how their waste damages the environment even more...and how those animals are modified, reproduced, drugged and fed all those evil plants we should not eat...how can people believe this is ok? yes plants we eat today are produced in horrible conditions but trust me they suffer less and cause less harm than animals we produce, think of the waste that ends up in oceans and poisons everything that lives there etc etc ...this Dr. is a charlatan that confuses people with pseudo-science and will cause a lot of harm
Sometimes I think all my soy, spinach eating and avoiding the sun is how I got sick with autumimmune. I bought all the stuff I was reading. Praying we are all on the right track now. Beef is my best food now
Regarding the comment about broccoli florets having seeds. Botanically, plants produce seed only after flowering. Broccoli florets are made of flower buds, i.e. immature flower. There is no seed present in a floret. You can't eat a broccoli plant that has produced seed..it looks completely different and is not actually sold in stores.
In 3 more days will be 8 months in with 100% carnivore diet and by far less arthritic pain when I wake in the morning and after commuting long distances on my bicycle or when I play guitar as I play with finger picking only. THANKS DR. BERRY! The moment I saw one of your fine videos last 6-24-22 it changed my life! I immediately started carnivore diet and had been vegetarian for 32 yrs. Now I need to figure out why I undulate or plateau with weekly readings anywhere from 30 to 38lbs weight loss, but still amazing blood lab and being an average of 33lbs lighter!
I believe you. I was doing amazing on Keto. Just started. Got lost in the RUclips Keto world and found a doctor that advised to eat 7 cups of spinach a day! I did that and I gained 3lbs. I’m overweight so I’m trying to lose it and I was doing well until I followed his advice. I realized that the only change I made was incorporating the spinach in my diet. I’m a little upset about my setback but I’m happy to know that I was not losing my mind when I made the revelation of what is causing the weight yo stall. Thank you!!!!!♥️
I decided to take the 90 day challenge of carnivore and discovered, for my own knowledge, that I NEEDED my fermented plants too and nuts. I'm glad I can say, yes I tried it, because I learned something about my body at it's age and it's tolerances to it's environment. I am thankful for Dr. Berry's videos and open honesty. God bless and keep learning.
Bless your heart what a mature man you are to revisit beliefs and admit your belief was wrong and too admit that publically is inspiring on a spiritual level. Bless your heart
I was sick before 2016 and went on Keto. Felt better but never healed. Went on Carnivore since February 2022 and I have never been this healthy. Never going back. I just wish good red meat isn’t this expensive
If you are in the USA and close to a Chef's Food Store the price is almost less than 50% of what the big grocers are charging. This beef and pork is in bulk so you will have to process it down to dinner size portions yourself to freeze raw or cooked. I just bought a 25# upper rear hind of beef that cost me $2.98 a lb. Good for roast and steaks. I bought a 27# boneless chuck roll for $3.35 a few weeks ago and made steaks as well as pot roast out of it. I instant pot cooked a 5# roast of it @ the meat setting on a rack with a couple of inches of water for 30 minutes/natural release of 15 minutes to make a really tender roast. The connective tissue melts in your mouth I also bought 2 pork belly's.One is frozen with the rind @ $4.15# and the other was fresh @ $3.75#.Now that I don't have to pay for all that poison oils,vegetables,carbs and sugar and processed foods I am able to afford the beef/meats and fish as well.
Karim, organ meats like liver beef and chicken are cheap, cheap , so are chicken thighs and legs which are more nutritious than breasts . The fatty cuts of meat are what dr Berry encourages and they are cheaper too.. Sardines which Dr Berry encourages eating are cheap .. When you stop buying all the junk food , sodas, chips sweets , breads , potatoes , pastas , on and on there is a lot more money for meat.. People complain all the time that carnivore and keto are expensive but they’re not taking into consideration that you stop buying all the other junk food and once you do that then you’re dedicating your food budget mainly to meat . So it’s not more expensive it’s just an exchange and how you spend your money.
@@tamb7587 Unfortunately the other 2 people I have to feed eat all that crap so there is no money in the budget for my food. I only eat OMAD since I can't afford any extra food for me.
I’ve had to stop veggies because they tore up my digestive system because I developed IBS. I can eat a little lettuce and occasionally a tomato slice. I have take peppermint pills to comfort my tummy. Slowly getting better. I appreciate your video on this. Oh and since no veggies I’m not constipated.
Thank you for this Dr Berry! We have a brix tester and the past few years tested veggies and fruit from the store, most register poor to extreme poor, the other thought is that plants are so heavily treated with chemicals that it is poison to us.... anyway, been meat since Jan first, gut is 100 percent better already, and best I dont feel like Im starving to death 😊
I healed many of my aliments with the carnivore diet. The thing I am working on now is maintaining a healthy biome and metabolism. So, mushrooms, bok choy, kelp tablets and sweet potato are still on the menu. Kelp for the iodine. Bok choy to feed the biome. Mushrooms for system balancing. Sweet potato for the potassium. Notice that all those plants are 'Blue zone' plants.
Wow, great timing Doc! I'm currently a Law student and I'm planning on doing a research paper on the benefits of meat and the dangers of 'healthy plant-based diets', and your videos are one of the best sources that lead to amazing research! I was wondering, and I don't know how difficult it would be for you, but it would be amazing if you could compile a playlist of all the videos which directly reference studies and papers. I think it would be a priceless trove of info for all sorts of people!
I love looking back at your videos from 3 and 4 years ago and watch how you've aged in reverse!! You look amazing in this video! Everything from your skin, hair physique...the proper human diet at work! Thank you for all your help, information and honesty. 🙏🏼
He never looks the picture of health & def not a good advertisement for his endless prognostications . His skin is always way too ruddy; eyes look unhealthy and he seems to carry more weight than he should . Don’t trust his advice ...it’s all about generating $$$$$
I am going to say something about all of the people who cannot eat cruciferous vegetables. And do you know how to tell if people can eat cruciferous vegetables? It is when they are children. If children like to eat those vegetables, then their metabolism is able to handle those vegetables. If a child turns away and strongly rejects those vegetables, their body/metabolism is telling them that those vegetables are going to cause serious problems. Unfortunately, I did not learn this until I was 54 years old ... from a Naturopathic doctor, that my metabolism was such that I should never eat, Cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, Cauliflower, Broccoli, and Kale. He changed my life so much. I felt so, so, so much better after taking those foods out of my nutrition program.
The best I ever felt in my life was an all raw plant diet without nuts or seeds...I felt clean and had amazing spiritual insights...best to listen to your body and soul as to what works best for you
agreed I know plant eaters - no meat / dairy and are super healthy. We are all different... I used to wonder if blood types made a difference. I do know the longest lived and healthiest blue zone areas are not Keto.
@@shantishanti1949 They're very high meat consumption and it's just ignored. Okinawans eat loads of raw fish and regard pork as so important it's religious.
In Latin America and Africa, we have been eating legumes for thousands of years. In my country is very common to see the elderly in their 80, 90s, and even 100s. No major health problems, no dementia. Could it be because we’ve adjusted our guts after hundreds if thousands of years ? Rice kills me most of the time, but everything doesn’t affect me
@@Dan16673 Dr. Gundry (the "Plant Paradox" author) does say that traditional cultures developed ways of cooking legumes that largely remove or neutralize the lectins. This may also be a factor in what you are referring to.
I have a theory on this, Many Europeans had to go through the Ice age which was an enviroment with very little fruit and plants, So Europeans got used to eating mostly meat, where as Africa and South America were not affect by the ice age as much and so would have had a wide array of food available. This theory could explain the differences you mention.
Dr. Barry, I've been following you since 2018...I went Keto when you were subscribing to keto. When you started carnivor, I was curious and continued Keto. Now I am more carivor than Keto...(just bought a grass fed/finished cow to move my efforts further along. The one thing I can say with 100% certainty is that you don't have the inflammation in your nasal cavity or have to clear your throat like you did in 2018, 2019. The skin on your face looks great unlike before. The redness has cleared. You are a great example of progress and outcome from Keto to Carnivore! I had been slipping on carbs this summer and got an awful knee injury around 8/1...sprinting. Can't wait to see how this stretch of BBBE looks on me! Last time I gave up due to outside sales and continually taking people to lunch, dinner and HH. Striving to be more focused this time due to how great you are looking! Keep up the ever learning and improving and I will too!
I'm a few weeks into a beef, salt and water diet. I'm going to expand to Lion diet, then carnivore, and then introduce plant-based food. I'm going to do that slowly, just one item per week. That way I hope to identify the problematic ones. I'm really hoping dark chocolate is not one of them.
Hello. Ive got diagnosed with herniated disc, and saw a lot of ppl comenting in vídeos of carnivore diets that they dont have any back pain after they started. So now im on the third day, never Felt my back this good, and i know its not meds working. On my First meal, It was dinner, so i went with ground beef, some butter, eggs and cheese, for the First time in YEARS i didnt had to wake and drink water because of reflux. So i Just Hope more ppl try this one out and start self healing like im feeling right now.
I appreciate the video and it definitely has me thinking. I started on my no sugar and low carb eating plan a year ago. More protein and good fat. For some reason vegetables seem to impact me in a very postive way. Broccoli and Baby Spinach and carrots are good so what I will do is make sure to not overdue it with them. I also eat some blueberries, melon, strawberries but again in moderation. intermittent Eating has really helped too. 16 off and 8 on with 2 or at most 3 meals a day. One meal is huge (900 plus calories) and that helps with Satiety. I can now laugh at the nutritionists and articles that all said eat all day and mini-meals = 6-8 meals a day. I guess that works for some but did me so much harm.
Man your story echoes mine closely. I wonder if it comes down to people's micro biomes. I tried eating mostly beef and eggs for about 4 days and just couldn't do it anymore. My first salad was like a breath of fresh air lol
This sounds like what I’m going for. I intermittent fast for 16 hours and stick to all protein. For dinner I can do a steak, fish or chicken but enjoy some mixed veggies or salad on the side.
According to my mother I was born constipated - not a very nice condition. The moment I stopped eating vegetables - after I had been keto for a couple of years, which made a slight difference - I stopped being constipated. The relief!!! And I have to thank you for that, Dr Berry, because it was your videos that made me go carnivore and that has made such a difference to my life and my health! I am deeply grateful to you for that! Thank you!
I hope this happens to me soon! I was constipated from the time I was a teenager and into my 20s and it was green smoothies that corrected that issue for me lol since starting carnivore a few days ago I’m now having issues 🫣 I hope this is normal and regulates soon
It's certainly been true for me that cutting out the simple carbohydrates has been the key to my weight loss and the improvement of my arthritis symptoms. I'd say the most impactful combination has been the removal of alcohol and the simple, starchy carbs from my diet. I find that fermented vegetables, mainly kimchi, is something that is tolerable and is potentially helpful with regularity. I have to say, though, it's been hard to give up all the things I used to enjoy eating. Just the same, the results speak for themselves and your videos I credit as being quite helpful to me over the last two years.
@@crystalrene1498 The amount of plant matter that I consume now is a bare minimum. As mentioned, fermentation does reduce the risk from the anti-nutrients in the plants. I consume a lot of fat and protein now and I do not gain weight. 6'2" and 181 lbs for two and a half years.
@@crystalrene1498 Well, don't knock it until you've tried it. Since all carbs break down to glucose in the body, the improvement is unavoidable. I have the blood work to prove the results.
I don’t know if you’ll see this Dr Berry but I just recently found your channel and have enjoyed your refreshing honesty and willingness to buck mainstream medical thinking. I’ve had Crohn’s for 33 years and after my last bout, I’ve cut drastically my intake of processed and fried/fast foods and incorporated more anti inflammatory foods in my diet. Many of those are in the Mediterranean diet and I’m curious as to what your thoughts are on this diet. I’ve enjoyed increasing my variety of vegetables and fruits but continue to have red meat and poultry (seafood and fish can be pricy in our inland state) and I haven’t experienced any negative issues with my gut.
After 3 months on a strict meat diet, which I really liked, I started eating some vegetables. After only a few days, I felt the effect of inflammation of the intestines and skin (new skin tags on many places around my neck accompanied by itching. Also, my head became heavy and tired again. I am returning to a meat diet, I have no more doubts. Just to mention, after the test blood while on a meat diet, my LDL and HDL were very good for the first time in 30 years.
Were you on high meds before you switched to carnivore? and maybe you are developing allergies to veggies because you are not eating them for long time.
I’m just curious if the plants that have been studied are GMO or that have been relentlessly sprayed with pesticides throughout their life? I just wonder how the tests would result on plants raised in good soil and without chemicals?
Way back in 1998 when I was a vegetarian and had a heart attack during my cardiac stress test my cardiologist told me it was caused by my stupid vegetarian diet and to immediately stop eating that way. He was way ahead of his time and saved my life on every level. I thank him everyday!!
*Wut ExactLy did they Do to you,-> when you FeLL OFF the Tread MiLL???*
@@Ann_Miller_Proves_GOD I did not fall off the treadmill. I was taken immediately to the cardiac catheterization lab. My cardiologist saw the MI evolving on the ECG and I felt it coming on. It couldn't have happened at a better place or time. Niw my heart is perfectly strong, no stents were needed and being carnivore I'm healthier now than I was then eating killer veggies.

I love how you start with “i was wrong”. Most doctors have such a big ego they can’t possibly admit that they could be wrong. Thank you so much for all you do, and standing up against big food and big pharma.
The relatives by marriage in my family can't admit being wrong because the insurance companies will not cover them in lawsuits if they admit a mistake. Oh sure,there were plenty in my 72 years who tried to talk down to me when I questioned their diagnosis so I fired them on the spot. I haven't seen any MDs in the last 10 years and that was due to an injury. I had my last physical about 20 years ago. PP (pill pushers)should replace the MD title for these quacks.
Wrong is right
Lol 😆 🤣 😂

Even people that aren’t doctors have such a hard time admitting when they are wrong so it’s very amazing to see anyone admit when they are
It just dawned on me recently that after years of having stiff hands upon waking, I don’t have that anymore. 69 yrs old. I went from 212 lbs to 165. I started 3 yrs ago and have found that 165 is my sweet spot. I never knew it would be so low. Never felt better. Won’t bore ya’ll with the other numerous improvements that I now enjoy. This sounds crazy, but I have learned to appreciate hunger. I don’t always drop what I’m doing and eat, I wait awhile and the hunger goes away. In my layman’s mind, my body is just shifting into fat burning and autophagy. I am not a pure carnivore, but close to it.
My numbers are close to yours 2021 I lost 50 pounds from 214 to 164. I’m at 169 now but I found out about the carnivore diet so I’m moving more to that instead of keto.
Not pure meaning what?
@jakebourland2212,
I think I can answer this. I think it means allowing yourself to get knocked out of ketosis every once in a while. So for instance, I saw an interview with a man, who ate only meat or eggs but every once in a while, he would have a piece of fruit. He chose a meat diet, at a very young age and his family tried to fight him on it, had him at least try a food, which he would, and then the family just figured to let him simply eat his way and it has worked for him for 40 years. He’s like 54 now. He’s the guy, in Florida, who eats the armadillos or some sort of animal that is there in abundance. He has ducks, as pets and he eats the duck eggs. I think Dr. Chaffee did an interview with him. Go look it up, it’s good.
Lies again? Old Home USD SGD
No its all wrong rig veda written 5000years ago in simavari states that.. Anything that is rooted from earth is only required for human survival.. But now a days the meat production is toxic in nature cows are given food that contains growth horomone, sex horomone and antibiotics low level ok if you were eating these meat 20years bck no harm now processed food are given to these animals and it causes cancer and heart decease
I'm a living testament to this very thing. Love vegetables, no denying that, but for the 70 years I was eating them, I constantly had painful, terrible issues, pretty much everything you listed. Went to keto four years ago, lost a good deal of weight, but the issues continued, and I actually began feeling much worse. Never realized at all that it might be the very things we're told to eat on keto....
Finally, FINALLY listened to all the carnivores on YT and made up my mind that I had nothing to lose except pain and inflammation, so went full-on carnivore two weeks ago. Within 48 hours I could feel improvements, and within ten days felt better than I have my entire seven decades. Now, two weeks in, I don't miss the vegetables, the nut flours I was making too many keto recipes with, none of it. It was listening to you, Dr. Berry, and to Mikhaila Peterson that finally convinced me that the time for change had arrived.
Ms. Peterson's response to the question "Don't you get tired of eating the same few foods for every meal?" was exactly what I'm now thinking: "Yes, I do, but the alternative is so much worse!" That young woman went through proverbial hell until she figured out what was killing her and then made the necessary changes.
I don't plan to ever go back to the old way of eating, not when carnivore has apparently eliminated, and is eliminating, decades of chronic pain and conditions that likely could have been avoided had such a way of eating been available when I was a kid and teen.
I'm not faulting my parents---they raised us in the 1950s through the 70s, and did the absolute best with what knowledge was available at the time. But now it's time for me to take charge of my own life.
Hi do you eat any dairy products , apart from butter ?
I’m with you! Nearly same age as you and always ate carbs constantly growing up. The only real success in weight loss has been with keto & I may try carnivore as I think it makes a lot of sense. Hunger gone when I eat meat!❤
But still red meat particularly is acidic for human. I don't understand haw could be healthy long term. I doubt.
YOu can't know what food the actual cause of the problems was that way. You'd need a study that accounts for all variables. aka, mixtures in the diet? hello?
@@siennaioana6763 I eat red meat 3 meals a day, every single day and have for years. My biomarkers are extremely good, I feel great and I am a very active athlete in multiple disciplines. Humans evolved for meat consumption.
I was vegetarian for much of my life and even when I included meat it was only bacon, chicken and fish, no red meat. I am a 79 year old woman and in the past few years I developed peripheral neuropathy and decided to try a carnivore diet to see if it helps. I never had a problem with veggies, and thanks to a ketogenic lifestyle for the past six years I gave up fruit apart from occasional berries.
Although there has been no improvement in the neuropathy symptoms, it has not continued to progress and within two days of cutting out all plants seven months ago, and eating mainly beef and oily fish, my lifelong struggles with anxiety and depression just vanished. That alone is enough for me to remain on carnivore forever.
Wow! Congrats 🎊
wow amazing
Sounds like life at 79 can just get better & better!
May I recommend that you watch any of the many YT interview videos (including with KenDBerryMD!) that Neurologist/SleepSpecialist Dr. Stasha Gominak has done on how much-higher D "LEVELS" (not doses!) can fix our long-broken D-dependent microbiomes & sleep switches. Once we again get our nightly N-REM Delta Wave DeepSleep cycles, uninterrupted (mouth-taping helps a lot) our body can begin really fixing long ago broken bits that it would already have fixed if we had had not let our D levels down. Decades of high-sugar inflammation led our immune systems to eat our own peripheral nerve myelin sheaths, just like in Multiple sclerosis (MS)! But Keto at least ended additional damage. Sleep must be carefully supported to attempt repairs.
I started Keto/IF after a new doc tested & got my level from a dangerous 6ng/ml pre-Covid, up to 54ng (135nmol) by the time I caught Covid almost asymptomatically at BMI=44 & 5 CovidComorbidities. I was first surprised how my decades of severe depression & many pains just fell away.
So first, with new hope & motivation, I began Keto/IF! Then, several months later I found Gominak online and her SleepRite Protocol. I watched many of her 2-hour fascinating interviews, upped my dosage again to get my level up between 70-80ng/ml as she recommended, took some extra B's and amazingly my own 4-years of symptomatic peripheral neuropathy (previously masked for unknown years by my anti-seizure Carbamazepine/Tegretol!) and hot flashes quickly began disappearing!
But I melted too much D-loaded fat far too fast into my bloodstream without dropping my dosage enough, had to quit cold turkey for a month just to bring my level back down. Tragically the neuropathy (and hot flashes) quickly reappeared. I have yet to repeat that amazing experience. But I know it will happen again soon, if I can just make myself get off of blue-light tech, go to bed at a good time and always tape my lips! (Not as easy as just getting my D into the right place.)
I found myself that a good dose ( 100-150mg) a day of vitamin B1 helped with my neuropathy. I have neuropathy because of chemotherapy treatment (Oxiplatin, capacetabine, treatment , burns the nerve endings ☹)
Benfotiamine is a more bioavailable form of B1. Been taking it for many years for my diabetes
I admire your ability to continuously re-educate yourself and us.
Agreed ^
That's what all doctors should be doing... he is special
The thing about admitting you were wrong is just that. You were wrong. Dr Berry promoted his wrong understanding to his audience, 2,5 million people, according to the number of subscribers. I think that. in future, he aught to adopt a much less certain view of what he feel is right, take a more dialectical approach. I have been dubious of the anti-vegetarian body on the grounds that there are millions of vegetarians in this world who get by just fine, but his concern about processed foods is much more convincing.
@@davidtuer5825; Processed foods are poison, just no doubt about it.
@@davidtuer5825 Vegetarians do eat some forms of meat, Vegans however do not, and if you just look at them you will see how malnourished they are. Just do a search on you tube and watch their videos, they are mentally insane and extremely malnourished. They all have severe medical issues, almost all have gut issues. Vegetarians also are severely sickly, they have numerous health problems, diabetes being a big one and gut issues. They might "look" fine, and seem to get by fine, but they are all sick.
When I learned, at age 57, that veggies were not necessary for good nutrition I did a happy dance!
I have never enjoyed a single one. And by going meat based, limited dairy, I no longer hurt/ache all over.

Amazing how quickly inflammation related problems disappears after going on a carnivore diet
@Max Larson No you don't. Not at all. I have way more energy eating carnivore than I ever did eating carbs. I've been carnivore a year in August. There are plenty of carnivores who have eaten this way a decade or longer and they seem to be full of energy too.
@Max Larson Wrong! Humans need no dietary carbs. Your liver makes the few carbs that the body needs. You don't have to eat ANY carbs at all.
Thank you so much Dr. Berry for your sincere sharing. After watching Dr. Anthony Chaffee’s talk on ‘Plants are trying to kill you”, I was shocked and immediately turned my diet from high fibre Keto to low fibre Keto with high fat high protein animal based Keto diet. The result was astonishing, my foggy brain, diarrhoea and tiredness after lunch were gone just within a week of trial. Another important discovery was about my mental health. I had been so defensive for so long time after becoming a vegetarian and vegan about 6 years ago. Not knowing it might be caused by the ‘defence system’ of the veggies I consumed. And the diarrhoea and sometimes constipation caused by my high fibre yet inflammatory diet. Besides, lacking of fat intake led to hormone imbalance. My emotion was so unstable and most of time, I was so negative. Now I become so energetic, so happy, so positive, so focused and so calm throughout the day. Thanks God! Thanks Universe for sending such a wonderful Doctors to us. God bless you Doctor Berry❤
During my life I have had a miserable existence of 10-12 hr liquid gut. Doc, you have changed my life. It was the veggies and grains all along. How could i have known considering the pervasive narrative of whole grains and lots of vegetables (not to mention lots of small meals, ugh). I am 70 yrs old and finally have the solution thanks to you. Carnivore forever!

Doc,
As a former Respiratory Therapist, I found very few docs willing to do actual research. Please keep on doing your job. We need real docs. Thanks 😊
If he did the research, he would find. Without plants you suffer severe malnutrition. Carnivore is NOT sustainable. And that has been known since sailors started sailing out of sight of land.
He didn’t cite any research bro.. he literally didn’t cite a single one…. He literally said “All my research has shown yadda yadda here’s some random numbers and percentages yadda yadda”. This by no means is a credible video. It may be true sure and I like to hear him talk about his opinion but yeah by no means would this be labeled as credible lol.
If Ken Berry or anyone else did even a little bit of research, they would NOT promote carnivore.
It is the biggest scam ever.

One thing I noticed from watching one of my favorite shows "Alone" where contestants try to survive alone in extreme wilderness. The contestants that are able to get fatty meat last the longest. The ones that try to survive on gathering plants, berries and fungi get eliminated for malnutrition.
Fatty meats are good when trying to survive several weeks but a restrictive diet is not good long term. That’s why we are omnivorous.
@@george6977 If we can survive on meats for weeks, why couldn’t we survive on meats our whole lives? It makes no sense.
@@lukev483 and @George, there is no question that we can survive several weeks on meat, and there is no question that we can survive several weeks on beans and tortillas. We can even survive for several weeks on no food at all. So "surviving for several weeks" isn't a good way to determine which is better. You need to look at whether a deficiency is developing, and how long you can go until the deficiency interferes with survival. Without sophisticated laboratory equipment, you will need a longer period of time to determine which kind of diet is problematic.

Following you direct advice, I now know I can eat red meat without health problems; I diverticular disease which has, almost, completely destroyed my large Colon. Turns out it was the vegetables and NOT the red meat which caused this!!! I am completely intoletant to Lectins and Oxalates. I just wish I knew this 14yrs ago when I was first diagnosed, the doctors and co sultants all blamed it on eating red meat. I followed their advice to my detriment. I now know better!!! I just hope my bowel and Large Colon will heal now that I have removed these vegetable poisons from my diet.
How are you doing now? I have diverticular disease as well and went through a bad flare up and infection when I went off track from carnivore. I'm pretty sure fiber is trying to kill me. lol Back on track now.
When I am strict with carnivore, i.e., beef, bacon, butter, and eggs, some pork chops and gammon occasionally, I am really good. But I give in to temptation now and then and have some chocolate and some carbs and veggies, and I can very quickly feel the inflammation and discomfort. I am currently off-track, but will be going back on at the weekend because if I'm not careful, I will have another flare up and be back in hospital.

Ive never seen someone work curtailed into a sentence before, off topic but thought it was nice, lol.
@@BradleyCTurner lmfao. You need to broaden you vocabulary then.. 🤣
I've always had terrible reactions to certain vegetables since I was a young kid. My distress was ignored and I was assured by my parents and doctors that veges weren't the problem, and that if I wanted to feel better, I had to eat MORE! Years of terrible stomach pains, literal vomiting after eating certain cruciferous veges (which was seen as "being dramatic"), having to lie down and moan on the coach after a meal, it was all somehow seen as a moral failing on my part. Years later, come to find that I have a huge insensitivity/allergy to broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, etc. Oops! I've had so many experiences with doctors not listening to me and ignoring my experience.
Even when I tried keto, I still incorporated some veges, but only ones I could just barely tolerate. When I told my doctor I was doing keto, he was VERY concerned. We did blood work, then he told me to come in months later to follow up. He said that I would be stressing my kidneys and liver, and that I should proceed with caution and expect bad results on biomarkers my next visit. Well, at my next appointment, my doctor comes in flustered. He kept shaking his head and saying that my blood tests showed that my kidneys and liver were "perfect", in his own disappointed words. He couldn't believe it and was visibly annoyed/frustrated, like he WANTED the results to be bad.
You know what he recommended after all those tests? That I stop keto...When asked "why?", given my results, he said "I have no test results to back this up, but *I FEEL LIKE* it just cant be good for you". I'd never had results that good or felt better in my life! And that was his recommendation! He had no knowledge of ketosis besides being taught it was a "starvation mode". Eventually, he sort of came around and said to do what I wanted, as long as I was healthy and felt good, but that took a while. I was his "patient zero" when it came to keto. This was just another experience that made me reconsider the idea that doctors and family members (who also thought I was crazy at the time) always know what's best for me.

He advised me he had a tumor he was treating naturally. I advised him to see Dr. I saw him a week before he passed. He had stomach Cancer. He never told his family. As I gradually transition from keto to Carnivore, I’m looking forward to going to only Carnivore I think of my friend and wonder if I could have changed his mind.
Dr. Berry I cannot begin to express the gratitude for the research you do and your decision to bring the amalgamation of your studies to the world. I'm 64 and have been studying nutrition for decades. Since 2016 after an accident which left me with 3 crushed vertebra I have intensified my studies. As I pulled published papers I began to see patterns and certian persons like yourself popped up on my RUclips feed. I grew up on a ranch and raising animals allowed me to experiment with the feeds of animals. Through working with animals I was aware that most plant foods were not easily assimilated. However now through your excellent research and public teachings I now realize that I reached a stage of malnutrition after my back was broken, that combined with a lifetime of struggle with allergies and asthma meant I was fighting INFLAMMATION. This idea was new to me. My GP of 18 years had only just been coming to new realizations himself when the Pandemic hit and he resigned. With chaos reigning and after 4 bouts of serious upper respiratory infections during the past two years I became desperate and dumped all my meds and went carnivore as an elimination diet to see what was causing my inflammation. I was shocked to find that not only must I keep my carbs exceedingly low but I have a problem with cow dairy that I never knew I had! My " mysterious" episodes of idiopathic joint and muscle pain is from grains, dairy ( bovine) , fruits and super processed food like items. Keep preaching Doctor ! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
I am also carnivore, and will never go back to a standard diet, I'm free of years of arthritis, my lupus is failing away, something my Drs said I had to live with as there's no cure, I can't afford to cheat as. pains are back, I appreciate Dr Berry for giving me my life back

I'll never know exactly why...but I eventually, one by one cut everything out but meat, butter, heavy cream, coffee and a much reduced amount of sweetener for my coffee. Mostly ribeye and bacon for meat. Only chicken is chicken liver. And after cutting out the last vegetable...my eczema finally, blessedly left me. Its only been 3 months, but after 35 years of never being completely cleared up, (and like I said, keto seemed to make it worse...even steroids didn't ease it) I am 100% scale/blister/rash free.
Knocking on wood of course. 😆
Thanks a million Dr Berry!! I NEVER would have given up every veg without you AND Neisha too!
I mean it.🙏🏻
Edit...my daughter reminded me that i have several times while mashing up potatoes (from the garden) I will take 2-3 bites of the skins slathered in butter. Hubby doesn't care for a bunch of potato skin and I tend to love it. Only 2-3 bites though. But still...it counts. ✌
Are you saying you can only tolerate the potato skins you eat or that you did not ?
Eczema.. A very terrible one, ive been battling with the same for the past 1 year, keto made me lose a lotta weight but didnt cut out the eczema, now after switching to carnivore for just a week, the symptoms are vanishing.. Wow!
Only issue is everyone thinking im gona die doing carnivore, they dont know what theyve been missing
I would strongly recommend you completely eliminate artificial sweeteners. Youd be better off having a teaspoon of sugar. Sugar is toxic in excess doses. But artificial sweeteners are toxic at any dose.
@@zackcosgrove3787 yes...i know. Im actually trying to do away with the coffee altogether. I do NOT enjoy it unsweetened. Its my last "vice"....lol.
@@Leamoyer No...I gave up...one by one, plant food. But i do occasionally eat a couple 3 bites of buttered potato skins from my husbands baked potato. Well...and coffee. It too is a plant. Im not sure WHAT caused my eczema. Perhaps peanuts? I dont know why keto made it so much worse. Maybe the extra almonds from the newly added almond flours? Its all guessing. I did think it might have been monkfruit at one point. Or the mct oil. But truly i do not know. Those bites of potato skin don't seem to have a negative affect though. 🤞
I can attest to what the doc is saying. I was a vegetarian for 30+ years. My whole diet consisted of high oxalate foods, all of my favorites (spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, almonds) that I ate everyday for a LONG time. I wasn't aware of the effects until after, when I developed multiple, huge kidney stones a couple of years ago. Then I got arthritis...everywhere in my body. I'm going to transition to the carnivore way of eating for 90 days. See if it helps.
The bottom line here is make adjustments to your diet to find out what works best for you're own body chemistry wether it be few carbs or no carbs. Don't let anyone tell you this is wrong or that's bad for you if it's clearly working.
🎯
Im pretty sure all humans have same chemistry.. maybe some feel they are processing plants ok, but inside they aren’t. Some may feel they do fine on plant based diets, but they really aren’t inside. Feeling is one thing. Reality is another. In reality eating a plant based diet is wrong for any human. They body cannot metabolize the vitamins in plants. Well maybe a minuscule amount, but nowhere as good as meat. We are designed to eat meat. Thats it. Anything else is because we are starving and doing so until meat can be found. Thats the science of human diet as a result of scientific research and historical data
@@dsonyay exactly! People going to learn the hard way
like it
@@dsonyay Don't want to come off as a crazy person but I think a good amount of meat and veggies are good for most people
I have noticed that especially my friends with Scandinavian heritage often have troubles with digesting certain veggies, while my Mediterranean friends can eat a rich variety of veggies often without problems. This is probably due to ancestral exposure to foods.
Anyone who can admit to being wrong let alone a physician is worth his weight in gold, IMO. I am in 3 days now doing this 90 day challenge. Feeling very overwhelmed with thinking of needing to learn a new way of cooking , I just jumped in. Tons of inflammation, no energy and psoriasis. My hands are raw from psoriasis. I am 58, retired from business at 54 & retired life needs lots of energy setting up a new life in the country. I am in doc, I’ll give it all I got and give an update at the end of the 90. BTW, can you shed some light on herbs used for herbal medicine. I am in the midst of learning to become an herbalist. The way our medical system is going in 🇨🇦 our drs are dropping like flies, people are choosing alternate options. Do dried herbs effect the body like the vegetable scenario you’ve painted? Many , keep swimming against the current. ♥️👍🏻🇨🇦.

Subbed just because you're one of the rare few that is willing to overcome their own hubris for the sake of constantly learning and striving for the right information regardless of how it makes us look. It's extremely hard to find this since people are so worried about themselves and their views these days. Ironically I'm sure many will feel the same as I do and will subscribe on the basis of your character since, at the end of the day no one is right all the time, but rarely does anyone admit it. Thanks Ken!
A great comment.
I'm carnivore now for just a very short time and I have seen a noticeable decrease in my arthritis pains. I have 3 friends who are die hard vegans. They eat a pound of veggies a day. Kale, sweet potatoes, broccoli, carrots every single day with brown rice. Never ever complain of aches and pains. I guess everyone is different. They also consume 0 sugar. Maybe that's the difference.
I have a lifelong vegetarian friend whos type two diabetes has advanced to the point where he is taking daily pills and now weekly injections. He is on pain management medication for his osteoarthritis. He is in such pain he can't even shake my hand. Sad but true.
He usually products with hidden sugar or carbs? Make sure he reads the labels and avoid artificial sweeteners like maltdrexion and Splenda sweeteners and aspartame
Zero sugar makes a big fat difference
@@ritalawson7020 you skip breakfast like some recommended? I don’t think it matters if you eat breakfast or not just what you eat.
It takes awhile but personally, I've never known a vegan that stayed healthy.
I appreciate your honesty and willingness to keep trying and listening to others ---- I have been 100% Carnivore for 32 weeks now --- no plants AT ALL, nothing but animal products --- meat, eggs, cheese, bacon, butter --- highly recommend --- I continue to get smaller and smaller ( I was very overweight ), my psoriasis is completely gone, I have so much energy, I wish I would have done this years ago !!
Cool !!!!
Do you use any kind of sweetener like in coffee or anything?
My doctor said, no animal products. I lost 12 libs already.
Vitamin c does come in meat research dr Paul mason low carb down under
That’s hard to believe, how do you prevent scurvy ?
Me too. Apparently. I believed I had a very healthy diet. And Keto last 2 years which gave me good results. However at 70 the aches and pains were increasing. I started to limp. Felt like my legs would eventually die on me. Other issues too, all chocked up to old age. Changed to 0 carb carnivore and within 10 days all the aches and pains were gone, twice the energy, other improvements too. So I must have been wrong. I've been gobsmacked. This goes against everything I believed but now I've experienced some amazing results in short order. Wow!
It was accumulated oxalates from the plants causing you joint pain. Thank God you figured it out and took them out.
thanks for sharing ❤
I am 65 years old, tomorrow it will be my first 100 days on carnivore. many bad things have happened. I have lost 49.1 pounds; the first two weeks I was sick with the carb/keto flu ;my acid reflux disappeared my skin looks great, no heartburn stopped taking anti acids. my right hip stopped hurting when I sleep- sleep much better . hypoglycemia is gone, I now can go 24 hours on a fast with no sweats or blood sugar crash. I stopped taking sleeping pills, sleep has improved. today I weighted 232.8 pounds. this is so bad- OK no its not I look and feel great. I discovered that carbs make me sick.
Eating a meat diet replaced protein.
Good job! This is almost exactly my story as well. I just haven’t been as strict about veggies and now I’m going to take the next step and eliminate carbs because I still have some slight stiffness and aches though I’m markedly light years from feeling like death warmed over 4 years months ago when I started this journey!
Dr Berry, I have an alcoholic fatty liver and my doctor insists that I eat multitudes of leafy green vegetables and stop eating red meat and high fat. He says that I don’t follow his direction then he will have no choice but to talk to my health insurance provider to possibly have my coverage dropped by the insurance provider. I’ve lost 78 lbs on the carnivore diet and feel wonderful and am very thankful for your guidance. Who the heck do you trust anymore. God Bless and thank you for what you do,
It is unacceptable for doctor to threaten a patient and cause the patient to be frightened about loosing their medical coverage! Is it possible to switch to a new doctor? I personally wouldn't be going to a doctor who threatened me!
Some doctors are too high-handed and don’t seem to believe that the patient should have free will. If a better choice in physicians is available….consider taking it.
I’m one that can’t do very many carbs! Recently diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, (I follow Neisha) I bought the grass fed liver and bone marrow supplements. I bought the liquid iodine you recommend. I cleared out my pantry of all carbs, stocked up on grass fed beef, eggs, and bacon. I ordered Keto Chow electrolytes. I’m praying this works to straighten out my system’s inflammation. Thank you, Dr Berry, for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
We look forward to knowing how you do, Mrs. H🌼
You literally sound exactly like myself, I although cannot eat eggs or bacon ( unless iIt’s beef bacon). February of this year at 52 with Hasi’s also. I have been only eating ribeyes once a day 25 lbs down it was a slow process but worth it not only for Weight but the auto immune is under control, no more pains from inflammation. I never thought I could do it and was skeptical….. But this is not a diet for me it’s a lifestyle now I feel more mental clarity then I ever have. I did try keto February of 2021, it didn’t help me at all I cannot eat vegetables and have tried but the inflammation and my mood are severe . Good luck
You will improve greatly.
@@edita5 Hi. How many ounces of ribeye do you eat a day? I’m not sure if I should start with eating twice a day, then go to once. I don’t want to feel like I’m starving in the beginning of this journey. It might be too discouraging and I won’t stick to it.
@@kimberlyhart5692 …Thank you! I’m excited to feel good again and meet people taking the same journey, for moral support! You and I share the same last name!
I'm like 10 days into the BBBE diet. I haven't felt this good in a long time. Almost back at my goal weight, blood pressure is already way down. It's 9pm and I just ate my first meal today because I simply wasn't hungry today. My blood sugar is stable, I eat when hungry, and I eat until I'm full. Thank you Dr. Berry! Discovered you through the Survival Podcast!
Did u face constipation issues when u started carnivore?
@@amnakimail I just started carnivore and have not had any constipation problems, which I was concerned would happen. It doesn't happen. Obviously your system is going to need to adjust for a little while. Everything doesn't come out perfectly. It can be a little loose too, on occasion, mostly not. But constipation is not a problem.
@@amnakimail No. Are you eating enough fat? If you're not I hear that that is definitely an issue. I'm cooking my ground beef in butter or bacon grease and even adding a little beef tallow. I don't drain the meat. It's the fattiest, most greasy meat I've ever eaten but it's very filling. I can eat once a day at this point if I want. I could feel my gall bladder squeezing quite a bit for the first few days as it was doing its thing with bile. I'd just go lay down during those times, but I haven't felt it do that over the last few days.
I was doing dinner late around 8.30. It slowly I moved towards 5 pm and now my results are just awesome.
@@greenlifesaves I normally have mine at 5pm but yesterday I just felt energized the whole day but decided to eat before bed because I didn't want to wake up feeling famished. Funny that I'm actually writing that because I haven't felt that sugar-induced panicky hunger feeling since I started this diet.
I have great respect for you saying 'I was wrong and not everyone may need total avoidance of plant base veggies.
I have literally started watching you per my PCP doctor advice. He is a fan of yours!
My husband had a huge polyp removed from his intestines many years ago and the surgery left scar tissue that makes it very difficult for vegetables to pass through his system now. Things like spinach, kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts etc. will completely clog him up and leave him in excruciating pain for a couple days, sometimes so severe that he has to seek hospital intervention. We have figured out what he can and can't eat now, but before we realized what was causing the problem, it was an awful experience for him to go through.
Now you hubby visit toilet for number 2 once a week. Problem solved!
After 2 decades of worsening gout and body weight I've been doing great on a carnivore (/kitovore but only fatty fruites, garlic herbs n some salads) diet. Lost 32kg in 6 months, no more gout, libido through the roof...yet after meeting my new love, awesome Filippina lady, i started eating some veggies again that she re-introduced to my diet when she cooks their great traditional dishes. Two things are happening now only a few months into it, i gained weight again {10kg) and feel the occasional beginning of a flare-up coming on. Thank you for this explanation, puts everything into perspective.
What do you mean by fatty fruites? I am trying to get ride of gout and when I went carnivore, it got worse. Thank you
I was on Dr Fuhrmans vegan diet for years! 16 years I think it was. I pounded greens and veggies and beans all day everyday. I wore a CGM and learned my blood sugar was sky rocketing and I had my nutrients tested and I was completely depleted in all vitamins and minerals. I never knew you can eat all these greens but not absorb a thing. Why doesn’t Dr Fuhrman know this?
Same!! People were saying my skin was yellowing. I like some veggies but not like that!
We have meat eating digestive systems; one highly acidic stomach, one gall bladder, a liver, even meat eating/tearing/grinding teeth, etc. NOT three and four stomachs and flat sideways grinding teeth like ruminant animals.

Type 2 diabetes very high cholesterol, I've had clubbed nails that were very brittle, not anymore .more great changes to my health . Thank God for you Dr Berry. I feel like I did 20 yrs ago .
I started the 3BE challenge on 9/1/22. Keeping strict to the challenge. I haven't strayed & keeping true to it. So far so good. Other RUclipsrs have been inspirational in their 3BE challenge experience. Carbs were my everything so I mentally prepared a few months before I started as I cook for the family. Very pleased with my progress & strength with this challenge. It's easy because I know what I'll be eating (variety of course) everyday. Thank you for this. Be well.
I think I'm going to take your 90-day challenge. And I don't really have any inflammation and I'm very active but I think that the plant eating which I do eat a lot of vegetables have some effect on my mental health. I could be wrong but I'm going to give it a shot.
Plants magically make my joints hurt within an hour after eating them. So I magically made them disappear from my grocery list😁
It takes a real man and a great doctor to admit when he’s wrong about something. I appreciate this video. Ken mentions eating veggies in his book, so it’s good to get an update after much research.
Spot on Dr Berry ... a Person who can identify that they may have been wrong ... and then corrects their world view ... Is totally commendable ... Respect Sir 👍👍👍
I am eating Carnivore diet for 2.5 months and am starting to feel better and depression clearing up, brain fog gone. Love the diet
What your eating menu looks like?
I'm in 3rd week now but i don't consider that a diet. That's not a diet, is just a new way of feeding myself! Felling super good!
@@truthman2471 Its really simple - if u are hungry at the morning just throw 5-6 eggs into pan and add few slices of bacon, if u arent - skip. When you are hungry again you can have whatever you want - Beef Steak, Chicken, Groundbeef etc etc. If the cut of meat you are preparing is lean - just add another eggs n bacon lol. Done.
@@PrivateTouch it expensive on a budget. Dr berg only wants high quality foods like grass fed meats not everyone has money like that.
@@truthman2471there are plenty of carnivore channels on RUclips explaining how to eat carnivore on a budget.
Mostly eat free range beef and chicken, eggs, and tuna fish. Also bone broth. My fave veggies (all organic) are garlic, onions, leeks, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, squash, and cabbage (including as kimchee). Eat small amounts. Need fiber to stay regular. Don’t eat much fruit, except prunes and ripe bananas (regularity again.) I also occasionally eat avocados and tomatoes (fruits) in salad or guacamole.
How does the carnivore diet affect cholesterol? I was vegetarian for many years, than decided to sometimes eat meat and my cholesterol went from 160 to 212. In 6 months. So now not only do I have high blood pressure, but also high cholesterol.
You changed my life Dr Berry!!! I am on a carnivore diet one month for now! thanks to you, it took me just 22 min of your video to listen and one mouth later 25 lb less, happy, no inflammation, no osteoarthritis Pain on my knees and so much more…. And you are right. My husband is on a whole foods plant based diet fore 5 yrs now, he is doing great, but for me was a disaster, plants are not for everyone….
I recently saw on RUclips a lady of 83 who has been vegan for 50 years and raw vegan more recently. This lady looked half her age and is in glowing health, so now I’m confused! I did try vegan, but it was too complicated for me. I never knew what to eat. Carnivore is much simpler, so I think I’ll stick with it. Maybe the secret is that whether carnivore or vegan, we are cutting out junk and sugar?
Strange. Since I went vegan, I've never been healthier.
@@rosemarybaxter9120 hi Rosemary. I agree with you, it’s not difficult to find very healthy and active old vegetarian’s. In fact, I might say that it’s fairly hard to find that with carnivore devotees. But I could be corrected if I’m wrong. I’m actually moving back to a plant based diet as keto carnivore hasn’t done very well for me. Granted, plant-based diets are more complicated than carnivore, which is just meat. But that doesn’t mean they need to be terribly complex. Best to you!
@@lanceevans1689 not doing that great either. Will see...
@@keithoneill6273 do you drink coke like most vegans?
I was vegetarian for 25 years. I seemed ok but developed osteoporosis. Like you I researched and now believe I was not getting nearly enough protein.
Now you know people in our kentucky/ Tennessee region are partial to hog meat. Bacon in your challenge. But I also like it ground, season it myself. And then there’s pork chops, roasts etc. I can understand these people that “ain’t from around here” ignoring hog meat, but you have no excuse!
Pasture raised pork is important around here. Bacon grease is so good to cook with, as is plain lard. Are you with me?
Definitely with you but don't reside anywhere near your region. Have traveled through though!
Pork definitely my favorite protein.
Wow, I think you've had a lucky escape ! I was vegan for around the same length of time as you. My bones started collapsing in 2011. After 14 or 15 fractures I questioned my diet. Added lots of animal foods. No more fractures. Doctors couldn't find anything that was causing the problem. So it must have been dietary deficiency. Scans continue to show improving bone density.
Pasture raised (slaughtered & frozen in late summer) also means you can get more Vitamin D, but dietary is never enough! Vitamin D insufficiency is why you are suffering from osteoporosis, like an adult form of weak-boned Rickets? (not from the inflammatory veggies/carbs), so please get your levels taken winter & summer to help set how much additional D you might need. Lots of small fatty fish or salmon, and of course pasture-raised meat and eggs can only get you part way there. Powerful Summer UVB and either a Winter or even a year-round supplement (like Fauci-the-Corrupt protects himself with) may be necessary to get evolutionarily replete, like the thin-happy-healthy Maasai at around 50ng/ml (who still die young in their many famines!
I hear you, beef and pork and it's not just protein, but fat and Vitamin D, and Vitamin K2, to help the calcium to get into the bones.
I’m glad you came out and gave information on this ..

Highly appreciative, and in full agreement with what was shared. Finding that my digestive system is increasingly struggling to cope with various plant produce I use to love consuming without trouble.
Granted, some do better on a diet higher in plant foods; each has to find what works best for them at a specific time during their lives. As Weston Price concluded: NOT ONE DIET FOR ALL.
I'm 65 went keto and introduced all the recommended veggies and found that I acquired so much painful gas and bloating. I have no gall bladder and wasn't sure if I wasn't digesting like everyone else. I'm trying to rethink and do this challenge to eliminate the veggies. We'll see. My biggest obstacle is cooking new and forgetting the old indoctrinated way. Wish me luck. 👍
Take digestive enzymes
@@yvonnedyer5371 can't swallow capsules. Tried.
@@J.o.e_K Me too.
Things are different if you actually have no gall bladder.
I don't know too much about it but a quick search I'd say make a conscion effort to pace yourself when eating, since it'll take longer for you to produce bile acids for fat digestion and acid neutralization.
Good luck
The thing I love about you is the fact that you will change your mind on things. Your constantly learning and growing as good information comes out. This is what all Dr need to do.
Well, got to say, this is very discouraging and confusing after having watched your other videos on keto. I guess the take away from this is - dieting is not a science, it's more of an art, you have to listen to how your body feels. One size definitely does not fit all.
WELL is TRUE but THE NONORGANIC CONTAINS 45 pesticides! But ORGANIC fruits and vegetables are fine for me. If any food is not ORGANIC or at list NON GMO I feel Sick.See Bill Gates on MONSANTO .
This isn't about dieting. This is about a way of eating. All the time.
I always thought of diets like that. No single body/person is the same.
You can do that with everything in your life. Try everything and stick with what works best for you. I watch those kind of videos as inspiration.
@KatyaCTV ™ ♡ Dr Oz can't possibly know my body and how it reacts.
I followed the advice in that video and felt like crap consuming broccoli and the other recommended veggies. I went back to strict keto and recovered quickly. You should take it down.
Dr Berry are you perhaps referring to the impact of High FODMAP foods? When diagnosed with Coeliac disease, switching to a gluten free diet resulted in a significant improvement in my Well-being. However, I was still plagued from time to time with gluten contamination type symptoms. It turned out to be the High FODMAP vegetables and fruits - in particular three foods I really like: onion, garlic and tomatoes. By reducing high FODMAP foods life improved even more.
I found out veggies bind me up which is why my multiple attempts at Keto failed. Thank god for Carnivore because among other things I have had NO issues with constipation 👍🏽
After eating fatty meat and basically BBBE for half a year, my doctor was astounded by my cholesterol scores and other health indicators during my physical. She said whatever I was doing to keep doing it. The next physical was after having to move into some temporary housing, while my new house was being built, for several months and eating out more often. I also started eating some of the keto plants during this time, still trying to be good though. My next physical my numbers were back to less than perfect, though not terrible, yet. My skin was starting to crack, my arthritis was acting up again. Back to meat it is. I'm betting my next physical will be outstanding once again. My HDL to LDL ratio was great on just meat, and back to human normal (not good) when I was eating plants again.
My triglycerides were in the 300s on the so called "balanced diet" of whole grains, veggies, fruit, dairy, with minimal meat...I turned ketovore, ate LOTS of bacon, eggs, butter, avocodos, Lots of red meat and no veggies, berries on occassion. My triglycerides went down to 58.
Every time I send this video to someone, they respond with shock. Because they have been eating veggies by the bushels their whole life..thank you for your knowledge and posting these life saving videos..
Thank you for your insights . My own experience has been one of trial and error, I can eat broccoli leaves( young ones in salad and older leaves like kale- I can't eat kale) but not the flower head. Our veggies and grains were genetically interfered with after the Second World War with honest intentions to begin with. The people of Europe and Britain were starving and farmers in Australia and America began growing crops that had higher yields, were quick growing and could survive transport and storage for this rapidly growing export market. Unfortunately the nutritional profile of the grains and vegetables were altered and diminished. Not to mention the herbicides and pesticides that are added to our daily diet. We really don't know what we are putting into our bodies everyday.
now apply this to the animals we produce for food, what are they fed, how they spend their miserable short lives and how their waste damages the environment even more...and how those animals are modified, reproduced, drugged and fed all those evil plants we should not eat...how can people believe this is ok? yes plants we eat today are produced in horrible conditions but trust me they suffer less and cause less harm than animals we produce, think of the waste that ends up in oceans and poisons everything that lives there etc etc ...this Dr. is a charlatan that confuses people with pseudo-science and will cause a lot of harm
I feel so much better without salads that I consumed half of my adulthood. You are a godsend!!
Sometimes I think all my soy, spinach eating and avoiding the sun is how I got sick with autumimmune. I bought all the stuff I was reading. Praying we are all on the right track now. Beef is my best food now
Regarding the comment about broccoli florets having seeds. Botanically, plants produce seed only after flowering. Broccoli florets are made of flower buds, i.e. immature flower. There is no seed present in a floret. You can't eat a broccoli plant that has produced seed..it looks completely different and is not actually sold in stores.
In 3 more days will be 8 months in with 100% carnivore diet and by far less arthritic pain when I wake in the morning and after commuting long distances on my bicycle or when I play guitar as I play with finger picking only. THANKS DR. BERRY! The moment I saw one of your fine videos last 6-24-22 it changed my life! I immediately started carnivore diet and had been vegetarian for 32 yrs. Now I need to figure out why I undulate or plateau with weekly readings anywhere from 30 to 38lbs weight loss, but still amazing blood lab and being an average of 33lbs lighter!
I believe you. I was doing amazing on Keto. Just started. Got lost in the RUclips Keto world and found a doctor that advised to eat 7 cups of spinach a day! I did that and I gained 3lbs. I’m overweight so I’m trying to lose it and I was doing well until I followed his advice.
I realized that the only change I made was incorporating the spinach in my diet. I’m a little upset about my setback but I’m happy to know that I was not losing my mind when I made the revelation of what is causing the weight yo stall.
Thank you!!!!!♥️
7 cups?? What planet was that guy from????
I decided to take the 90 day challenge of carnivore and discovered, for my own knowledge, that I NEEDED my fermented plants too and nuts.

I was sick before 2016 and went on Keto. Felt better but never healed. Went on Carnivore since February 2022 and I have never been this healthy. Never going back. I just wish good red meat isn’t this expensive
If you are in the USA and close to a Chef's Food Store the price is almost less than 50% of what the big grocers are charging. This beef and pork is in bulk so you will have to process it down to dinner size portions yourself to freeze raw or cooked. I just bought a 25# upper rear hind of beef that cost me $2.98 a lb. Good for roast and steaks. I bought a 27# boneless chuck roll for $3.35 a few weeks ago and made steaks as well as pot roast out of it. I instant pot cooked a 5# roast of it @ the meat setting on a rack with a couple of inches of water for 30 minutes/natural release of 15 minutes to make a really tender roast. The connective tissue melts in your mouth I also bought 2 pork belly's.One is frozen with the rind @ $4.15# and the other was fresh @ $3.75#.Now that I don't have to pay for all that poison oils,vegetables,carbs and sugar and processed foods I am able to afford the beef/meats and fish as well.
Karim, organ meats like liver beef and chicken are cheap, cheap , so are chicken thighs and legs which are more nutritious than breasts . The fatty cuts of meat are what dr Berry encourages and they are cheaper too.. Sardines which Dr Berry encourages eating are cheap .. When you stop buying all the junk food , sodas, chips sweets , breads , potatoes , pastas , on and on there is a lot more money for meat.. People complain all the time that carnivore and keto are expensive but they’re not taking into consideration that you stop buying all the other junk food and once you do that then you’re dedicating your food budget mainly to meat . So it’s not more expensive it’s just an exchange and how you spend your money.
@@tamb7587 😂 I don’t complain that Carnivore is expensive I just wish the best cuts are cheaper. Oh yeah I shop for deals and I always score
@@tamb7587 Unfortunately the other 2 people I have to feed eat all that crap so there is no money in the budget for my food. I only eat OMAD since I can't afford any extra food for me.
@@chrissyellem7397 I understand
I’ve had to stop veggies because they tore up my digestive system because I developed IBS. I can eat a little lettuce and occasionally a tomato slice. I have take peppermint pills to comfort my tummy. Slowly getting better. I appreciate your video on this. Oh and since no veggies I’m not constipated.
I’ve been experiencing the same thing within the last few years. I’ve had to limit my fruit and veggie intake.
Lies...
Gotta hand it to you, your intentions are good. And you look great, even better after stopping vegetables. I’ll continue tuning in to your videos
Thank you for this Dr Berry! We have a brix tester and the past few years tested veggies and fruit from the store, most register poor to extreme poor, the other thought is that plants are so heavily treated with chemicals that it is poison to us.... anyway, been meat since Jan first, gut is 100 percent better already, and best I dont feel like Im starving to death 😊
I healed many of my aliments with the carnivore diet. The thing I am working on now is maintaining a healthy biome and metabolism. So, mushrooms, bok choy, kelp tablets and sweet potato are still on the menu. Kelp for the iodine. Bok choy to feed the biome. Mushrooms for system balancing. Sweet potato for the potassium. Notice that all those plants are 'Blue zone' plants.
@@veganix6757 There is a reason animals go around full of goodness inside them.
For other animals to eat that goodness.
Wow, great timing Doc! I'm currently a Law student and I'm planning on doing a research paper on the benefits of meat and the dangers of 'healthy plant-based diets', and your videos are one of the best sources that lead to amazing research! I was wondering, and I don't know how difficult it would be for you, but it would be amazing if you could compile a playlist of all the videos which directly reference studies and papers. I think it would be a priceless trove of info for all sorts of people!
I hope you publish your paper. Good luck on it.
Oxalates. See Sally K. Norton
Definitely watch Amber O'Hearn
Ok. You can do your own research by looking at the research in each of his vlogs.
@@dogcrazy25 electrocutie is a lawyer: be delegating and outsourcing research!!
I love looking back at your videos from 3 and 4 years ago and watch how you've aged in reverse!! You look amazing in this video! Everything from your skin, hair physique...the proper human diet at work! Thank you for all your help, information and honesty. 🙏🏼
I think he is far to pink skinned. Iron overload or something
he looks his age. David Sinclair and Dr. Berg both look way younger than they are, and they both eat lots of veggies lol
Seriously? He doesn't look well to me.
@@rebeccabriggs2982 Could possibly be sun burn. Or even the lighting could be causing the pinkish skin.
He never looks the picture of health & def not a good advertisement for his endless prognostications . His skin is always way too ruddy; eyes look unhealthy and he seems to carry more weight than he should . Don’t trust his advice ...it’s all about generating $$$$$
I am going to say something about all of the people who cannot eat cruciferous vegetables. And do you know how to tell if people can eat cruciferous vegetables? It is when they are children. If children like to eat those vegetables, then their metabolism is able to handle those vegetables. If a child turns away and strongly rejects those vegetables, their body/metabolism is telling them that those vegetables are going to cause serious problems. Unfortunately, I did not learn this until I was 54 years old ... from a Naturopathic doctor, that my metabolism was such that I should never eat, Cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, Cauliflower, Broccoli, and Kale. He changed my life so much. I felt so, so, so much better after taking those foods out of my nutrition program.
That's interesting. I thought many kids didn't Iike vegetabIes because they had mother's who boiIed the IIfe out of 'em. so they tasted crappy. L0L
Makes sens. I liked them as a kid and they do not seem to cause me problems.
The best I ever felt in my life was an all raw plant diet without nuts or seeds...I felt clean and had amazing spiritual insights...best to listen to your body and soul as to what works best for you
agreed I know plant eaters - no meat / dairy and are super healthy. We are all different... I used to wonder if blood types made a difference. I do know the longest lived and healthiest blue zone areas are not Keto.
@@shantishanti1949 They're very high meat consumption and it's just ignored. Okinawans eat loads of raw fish and regard pork as so important it's religious.
I did that too, many times, in my 20's and 30's. The mental clarity and lightness in my body was incredible, but it wasn't sustainable for me at all.
In Latin America and Africa, we have been eating legumes for thousands of years. In my country is very common to see the elderly in their 80, 90s, and even 100s. No major health problems, no dementia. Could it be because we’ve adjusted our guts after hundreds if thousands of years ? Rice kills me most of the time, but everything doesn’t affect me
Love lugumes. Only dumbos say not to eat them
@@Dan16673 eat 3 raw kidney beans , you'll be dead in 17 minutes, is that dumbo ? Google that
@@Dan16673 Dr. Gundry (the "Plant Paradox" author) does say that traditional cultures developed ways of cooking legumes that largely remove or neutralize the lectins. This may also be a factor in what you are referring to.
@@woytektwardy Yeah they guy is nice scammer. Of source he sells the cure to lectins on his website.
I have a theory on this, Many Europeans had to go through the Ice age which was an enviroment with very little fruit and plants, So Europeans got used to eating mostly meat, where as Africa and South America were not affect by the ice age as much and so would have had a wide array of food available. This theory could explain the differences you mention.
Dr. Barry, I've been following you since 2018...I went Keto when you were subscribing to keto. When you started carnivor, I was curious and continued Keto. Now I am more carivor than Keto...(just bought a grass fed/finished cow to move my efforts further along. The one thing I can say with 100% certainty is that you don't have the inflammation in your nasal cavity or have to clear your throat like you did in 2018, 2019. The skin on your face looks great unlike before. The redness has cleared. You are a great example of progress and outcome from Keto to Carnivore!
I had been slipping on carbs this summer and got an awful knee injury around 8/1...sprinting. Can't wait to see how this stretch of BBBE looks on me! Last time I gave up due to outside sales and continually taking people to lunch, dinner and HH. Striving to be more focused this time due to how great you are looking! Keep up the ever learning and improving and I will too!
I'm a few weeks into a beef, salt and water diet. I'm going to expand to Lion diet, then carnivore, and then introduce plant-based food. I'm going to do that slowly, just one item per week. That way I hope to identify the problematic ones. I'm really hoping dark chocolate is not one of them.
Hello. Ive got diagnosed with herniated disc, and saw a lot of ppl comenting in vídeos of carnivore diets that they dont have any back pain after they started. So now im on the third day, never Felt my back this good, and i know its not meds working. On my First meal, It was dinner, so i went with ground beef, some butter, eggs and cheese, for the First time in YEARS i didnt had to wake and drink water because of reflux. So i Just Hope more ppl try this one out and start self healing like im feeling right now.
I appreciate the video and it definitely has me thinking. I started on my no sugar and low carb eating plan a year ago. More protein and good fat. For some reason vegetables seem to impact me in a very postive way. Broccoli and Baby Spinach and carrots are good so what I will do is make sure to not overdue it with them. I also eat some blueberries, melon, strawberries but again in moderation.
intermittent Eating has really helped too. 16 off and 8 on with 2 or at most 3 meals a day. One meal is huge (900 plus calories) and that helps with Satiety. I can now laugh at the nutritionists and articles that all said eat all day and mini-meals = 6-8 meals a day. I guess that works for some but did me so much harm.
Man your story echoes mine closely. I wonder if it comes down to people's micro biomes. I tried eating mostly beef and eggs for about 4 days and just couldn't do it anymore. My first salad was like a breath of fresh air lol
This sounds like what I’m going for. I intermittent fast for 16 hours and stick to all protein. For dinner I can do a steak, fish or chicken but enjoy some mixed veggies or salad on the side.
Dr Anthony Chaffee did an interview with Sally Norton be sure to watch it.
@@ZackRamsey14 bruh you only did it for 4days…….
@@y3llowpersuasionz18 funny coming back to this thread lol idk what I was thinking 8 months ago. I’ve been carnivore ever since 😂 never felt better
According to my mother I was born constipated - not a very nice condition. The moment I stopped eating vegetables - after I had been keto for a couple of years, which made a slight difference - I stopped being constipated. The relief!!! And I have to thank you for that, Dr Berry, because it was your videos that made me go carnivore and that has made such a difference to my life and my health! I am deeply grateful to you for that! Thank you!
Same here...
Sadly I can't seem to get you on WhatsApp, Dr Berry. I have tried every day this week without result!
I hope this happens to me soon! I was constipated from the time I was a teenager and into my 20s and it was green smoothies that corrected that issue for me lol since starting carnivore a few days ago I’m now having issues 🫣 I hope this is normal and regulates soon
@@seaturtlegrl more water and more fat, that's worked for me👍
@@arwenwestrop5404 that maybe a fake Dr.Berry a bot
I totally admire and respect you for being able to say this. Thank you so much for your humility. 🙂
It's certainly been true for me that cutting out the simple carbohydrates has been the key to my weight loss and the improvement of my arthritis symptoms. I'd say the most impactful combination has been the removal of alcohol and the simple, starchy carbs from my diet. I find that fermented vegetables, mainly kimchi, is something that is tolerable and is potentially helpful with regularity. I have to say, though, it's been hard to give up all the things I used to enjoy eating. Just the same, the results speak for themselves and your videos I credit as being quite helpful to me over the last two years.
*fermented vegetables*
All plants? Really?
I don't believe you, at all. A diet of bacon, butter, and beef only sounds totally discusting.
@@crystalrene1498 The amount of plant matter that I consume now is a bare minimum. As mentioned, fermentation does reduce the risk from the anti-nutrients in the plants. I consume a lot of fat and protein now and I do not gain weight. 6'2" and 181 lbs for two and a half years.
@@crystalrene1498 Well, don't knock it until you've tried it. Since all carbs break down to glucose in the body, the improvement is unavoidable. I have the blood work to prove the results.
I don’t know if you’ll see this Dr Berry but I just recently found your channel and have enjoyed your refreshing honesty and willingness to buck mainstream medical thinking. I’ve had Crohn’s for 33 years and after my last bout, I’ve cut drastically my intake of processed and fried/fast foods and incorporated more anti inflammatory foods in my diet. Many of those are in the Mediterranean diet and I’m curious as to what your thoughts are on this diet. I’ve enjoyed increasing my variety of vegetables and fruits but continue to have red meat and poultry (seafood and fish can be pricy in our inland state) and I haven’t experienced any negative issues with my gut.
After 3 months on a strict meat diet, which I really liked, I started eating some vegetables. After only a few days, I felt the effect of inflammation of the intestines and skin (new skin tags on many places around my neck accompanied by itching. Also, my head became heavy and tired again. I am returning to a meat diet, I have no more doubts. Just to mention, after the test blood while on a meat diet, my LDL and HDL were very good for the first time in 30 years.
Amazing!
Were you on high meds before you switched to carnivore? and maybe you are developing allergies to veggies because you are not eating them for long time.
Is it OK to share your HDL&LDL numbers?
@@yancai6695 sur mate. LDL=2.04 mmol/L and HDL 1.40mmol/L, cholesterol total 4.24 and Triglicerid 1.77mmol/L
Wow, you really are brainwashed aren’t you
I’m just curious if the plants that have been studied are GMO or that have been relentlessly sprayed with pesticides throughout their life? I just wonder how the tests would result on plants raised in good soil and without chemicals?
