I was vegan 30+yrs (don’t hate me!) and getting sicker. Went to a naturopath specialist in hashimotos who put me on Dr Furman’s plants only diet. While I was getting sicker, the doc’s instruction was basically “plant harder”. After 4 years, I bailed & discovered carnivore & have lost 40 pounds, healed my hashi & am thriving!
How long did it take you to heal hashis? I also have hashimotos and am on levo. Right now I have almost 4 months carnivore and have seen my antibodies cut in half, hoping for more reduction in antibodies and for my thyroid to start working better to at least reduce the meds.
@ amethyst feathers Watch more Dr's Berry and Chaffee. They say it in this video....I myself do it and find that many scroll while watching a video. Stop scrolling and asking the crowd and watch the doctors. Turn off comments and watch. Not to be offensive. I force myself to listen only when new info is coming on board. Also, Dr. Elizabeth Bright is a good follow for ALL THINGS THYROID. She recommends an 70-80/20-30 fat to protein red meat diet. Pans out to a stick of butter to pound of meat (not lean). Hope this helps, best of luck. Carnivore heals. Ex-vegan here.
The carnivore diet gave me instant intestinal relief. I had a foot of my intestines removed. The doctor told me I won’t ever have this problem again , eat whatever I want. Well three years later it was back. A month ago I went carnivore and I don’t plan ever going off.
I have diverticulosis and have only part of my colon because of colorectal cancer and it took me 10 years of suffering to finally find carnivore diet and since then, have not had a diverticulitis episode and I don't have problems with diarrhea or constipation even with having some dairy. I just drink enough water, I'm active enough and I ate enough animal fat, nothing extravagant. Good luck to you.
Carnivore helped me overcome ulcerative colitis. I haven’t had an episode in more than 15 years. Plants of all kinds were the problem. Someone should inform the quack Gundry that it’s plants that are inflammatory not red meat.
I haven’t had vegetables in about 5 years, and I feel great! I eat tons of ground beef, bacon, I love it. It actually makes me mad I spent so many years of my youth trying to be a healthy meat avoider. Thank you both for changing my life for the better!
yes, I was a meat avoider as well 😊 Then I decided not to meat at all...for 17 years 🤦♀️ Untill I alone understood that the problem was only combination of meat and carbs 🙄 Thanks to internet in 2017.
About six years ago before carnivore, a friend gave me a bunch of barbequed beef ribs which were very delicious...and I ate a lot of them on a Saturday. Come Monday while at work, I had a very urgent and sudden need to find a toilet -- a stomach ache I used to call it. Looking back, it was from eating carbs with all the beef ribs, because now that never happens and I eat a lot of meat.
If fiber is essential I've been dead almost two years. I feel better, look better, AM better, than ever. So NO, fiber is NOT essential. P.S. My nutrition text book doesn't have a chapter on essential fiber, like it does for essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. Nor does it have a chapter on essential carbohydrates / sugars. As I understand it that is fine since my body can make any and all the glucose I need at any time. Thanks for the video. Cheers! :)
@@mmanda515 Thanks for your comment. I've never been healthier, happier, more fit, or prettier than on carnivore. I want my loved ones to be healthy & happy too. I try to be helpful, and I let those who just want to fight do it among themselves. Cheers!
I like how both wear t-shirts to flex. Lol. To be true carnivores one must renounce collared shirts and wear t-shirts (preferably tight fitting variety) exclusively.
My husband’s IBD specialist stated she didn’t want him to die on her watch because he did not want to stay on Humira for his Crohn’s disease. He has been on a carnivore diet for almost 2 years and doing great
I had diareah for the first 3 months nonstop, but once i got through that process. i was good to go. That was the worst 3 months of my life. lol 😆 i literally thought i wouldnt make it. i am glad that i am now 5 1/2 months in and pass those toxins That's what it was. it was toxins dumping!! im thankful i stuck to it. lol
@MsTinaP2010 are you able to eat lots of fat an no diarrhea. I'm only 2 months in and get random diarrhea. I'm still on infliximab and nervous for if and when I choose to get off it.
I was an IBS sufferer all my life (FM 64). Tried carnivore about 3 years ago and now you won’t find any fibre in my house , along with anything else not carnivore.
I had hemorrhoids off and on for about ten years -- unpredictable and slowly getting worse with each flareup. In July of 2023 I went carnivore, and the flareup I was experiencing at that time healed itself after seven weeks, which was something I did not even expect.
Amen testify, i put my over 25 year battle with IBS & beginnings of diverticulitis into remission within 2 weeks of following the carnivore diet. Now over 2&1/2 years & still symptom free. I feel like a reborn man & healthier than ever at 48 years young. Congratulations on your success & God bless you in your continued journey of the proper optimal human diet. Kudos👌👍💪🥩
GREAT video. I’m on Day 49 (7 weeks) and what a huge difference I’m experiencing. Cutting out fruits and veggies has solved so many of my health issues. The “key” is to BE PATIENT…give it time for the meats to heal our issues. THANK YOU Dr. Ken and Dr. Anthony for SAVING MY LIFE and giving me the patience through your videos.
Do you never have any fresh lemon juice in your water or on you fish? I‘m just getting started, but I‘m still using a little fresh and strained lemon juice & sometimes a bit of ACV together with lemon juice in sparkling water. Some have said this will also slow down extreme oxalate-dumping. Just wondering 🤓
I battle moderate to severe RA. I did 90 days of the "Lion's diet." I did it as the ultimate elimination protocol. It was so good! I began to add appropriate proper human diet items back very slowly and definitely had issues with pork and chicken. In weight (though I hate the scale) I've lost 103 pounds going from clean keto to Carnivore to Lion back to mostly Carnivore sometimes more "Ketovore." As soon as I have a reaction like accidentally being exposed to seed oils I go right back to the Lion's diet for a bit. In this journey I was able to give away the cane and walker. I'm now working with a trainer for strength twice a week. I still have a slight limp with some joint deformity but I'm going for life! 62 years young. You only fail if you quit. I appreciate all the info and knowledge from these amazing doctors! 🤩🤩🤩
This is why most plant based doctors steer away from debates. How can they argue that anything in plants is essential and they get enough to sustain them? 367 days Carnivore and thriving. 🙋♀️
I've not had fiber in over 2 years. Feel great and use lots less tpaper. 😀 I was very sick in the hospital when i found Dr. Berry. Now med free and feel wonderful. Lost over 100 pounds. ❤❤❤
I went keto in 2020 and carnivore 2022. Before I started this lifestyle I suffered from severe acid reflux. It was so bad I was hospitalized twice because I thought I was having a heart attack. My doctor had me on Prilosec for 2 years... never mind, fixing the issue, just take these drugs. After going keto it got better, but after I went carnivore all of my stomach issues have gone away..
I wound up in the hospital in Jan 2022 because I thought I was having a heart attack. It turns out it was just the worst acid reflux I had ever experienced. I was on PPI drugs for close to 20 years for GERD, and even still, I experienced heart burn every single day. Doctors told me heartburn was caused by overconsumption of fat. My diet mainly consists of fat/protein and I do not get heartburn… and I think when doctors hear that and it goes against everything they say, they refuse to believe it. I can have one piece of pizza (yes I indulge once a year) and that heartburn and the memories of my previous life come back.
@@TheAutisticCarnivoreI have been taking Tums & PPIs since the mid 90s. Many Dr. couldn’t find a problem. After my last Gastroscopy the Dr told me it’s like some people have to take allergy medicine and you have to take SSIs. It is now week 7 for me on carnivore and I haven’t taken any PPIs since. A lot of Drs don’t know 💩
Am I the only one to realise we have 3 main prominent carnivore Dr's Ken 'BERRY' Anthony Chaffee 'CHAFF' (part of the wheat plant) and Paul saladino 'SALAD' 😆 Maybe they're all just rebels. Jokes aside, love the content as always, it's been a life changing experience. I break my life into 2 major segments, pre and post keto. (Yes, I know im not fully Carnivore yet.)
I feel like I'm repeating myself but I cannot resist commenting on GI issues because if I can help one person from suffering, it's worth it to share. I have diverticulosis and I am a colorectal cancer survivor so only have part of my colon and it took me 10 years to find the carnivore diet and even with some dairy, I have not had one diverticulitis episode, I don't have diarrhea or constipation. I drink adequate amount of water, I'm active enough and I eat my animal fat. 😊
6:07 Meat does NOT have Vitamin C. There were outbreaks of hundred of years old disease of Scurvy. e.g. 2002 in West Afghanistan 2016 in Sydney, Australia Both these two MDs use the lie of Evolution to promote Carnivore diet. If based on evolution, humans evolved from primates, why are humans and primates unable to synthesise Vit C from glucose while carnivores like lions and tigers can? Apes and monkeys must eat fruits to get their Vit C "Their heads we win tails you lose" arguments are really shameful & apalling!
Crazy how I could eat SAD for most of my life and not really have a problem. Till I got high blood pressure. Went carnivore in February & got off meds before the 3 month mark. Now just one meal of regular pasta will set me back a couple days and I feel terrible. Love these two Doctors!!!
Very close to ZERO fiber x11month...digestion is just one of the many great benefits I have gained. Yes, lots of health care professionals say STUPID SHIT. Please, please keep educating them one-by-one. ❤
I noticed a huge difference. I ate mostly meat. I’d have a lil pasta and rice here and there. About 1 cup cooked. I also still drink milk and eat butter. Well I then just ate meat for the next week. No gas, no bloating. I slept through the night. But then running out of money and needed to stretch the meat, I added back in some rice and pasta. Stinky Gas, painful bloating. Getting up many times at night to pee. I wasn’t concerned as this is the normal way on the ca ca diet. But I was excited to see the difference. I know that’s only a small difference but that’s all in one month! So it’s huge to me
@@leannelollypop1869 hmm, I think I’ll do that. I save the tallow for the pan and for dipping sauce with my meats. Chicken fat is my favorite. Idk y. I buy butter for taste and once in a while I’ll steal a bite of it..l guess I’ll bite more into it. Thank you. Also, if I can afford it, I buy 120 eggs. Lol, love the yoke so much. I no longer like the taste of almost all the foods I use to eat. I still like corn but don’t eat it. I still like sweet peas but don’t eat it. I buy pasta and rice because they are cheapest and long shelf life for when I’m struggling to fill the plate. I actually don’t like either of them.
@@HoneyBeeCrafts good luck. If you can stomach sardines in brine they’re very filling/satiating. When I need to eat more cheaply I eat eggs only meals. 4 or 5 at a time. I can survive on 8 eggs a day and bone broth as a hot drink. I make my own and add salt and butter. It’s wonderful you can buy so many eggs at once! I’ve seen homesteaders on RU-vid share the water glassing method to give eggs a longer shelf life. I buy food to store or freeze when I have money, so I can go to the reserves to see me through when times are tough. Cost of living is expensive in Australia. Meat is expensive. I buy slabs of meat and cut them into steaks myself. I love chicken wings. I can appreciate your love for chicken fat! Another cheap meal option :) I’m 18 months in and don’t eat as much as I did initially. I think in the beginning my body was healing and I needed much bigger portions. Double portions and butter on top. Women’s cells need 40% more fat than men’s cells, to regulate our hormones, so don’t be scared to heap the fat on. If you have too much your bowel movements will be very loose and you’ll know to back off.
@@leannelollypop1869 thanks. Yeah in USA. Or at least in my state, my Walmart sells these big boxes of 60 eggs. I’ve never seen them until I moved to this state. They use to cost 2x a normal dozen price. Now they cost 3x the normal dozen price. But still cheaper than buying 5 separate dozens. This amount of eggs last me almost two months. I’m trying to work on buying 3 of those boxes so I can avoid being at the store any longer lol. I think it would be fabulous to buy slabs of meat and cut my own steaks too. I just recently started going to a butcher for my meats because I found out my stores are lying about the weight. It cost 17$ for a pound and a few ounces of steak. When I weigh it, it doesn’t come close to the written weight. On all the meats I was buying. But if I go to the butcher to get that same amount I’ll get very close to 3 pounds. And it’s actually a few Pennies cheaper per pound. I know buying the whole cow is cheaper.. maybe I’ll look for a butcher that deals with bigger meat sales. Mine does not. I eat about 4 eggs a meal cooked in tallow. I cut my London broil steaks into 1x1x3-4 inches. So they just look like short tubes of steaks. I eat one of those at a time. Sometimes I cook one up with my eggs and dip the steak in the yoke. Oh the butcher also does shaved meat. Like for steak and cheese sandwiches. It’s so much cheaper buying it fresh than buying the meat in those steak -um boxes. Which is fake meat anyway. Ugh so good. I like my meat still pink. Throw that meat on the pan for 30 seconds on high heat. Lightly salted..Quick snack lol. It’s butter or shaved meat when I think I might fall off the wagon.
Good show. What you said happened to me. My vascular doctor got in my face and yelled at me because I don't want to take statin drugs. Pushed me for my reasons, then yelled at me that I needed to trust my doctors. Touted a study about statins. When I said politely, I'd like to see that study, he became more emotional and told me, I would have to go to medical school and become a doctor to read it. I have been gaslighted by doctors all my life, and I'm very discouraged. If you know of any doctor in louiville Kentucky that will work with me and believes like you two doctors do, please tell me their name. I have no one at this point and a host of issues. My stomach being one of them. Thank you for what you are doing.
Try googling your area for a Carnivore medical doctor. I did that for my area here in Canada. There are some out there. Just use the right key search words.
oh my gosh how awful! its really shocking and so disruptive to your sense of self and logic when a doctor behaves this way. many decades ago my mom told her doctor she wasnt going to take synthroid any more, and she got the same, barked at and laughed at etc. she switched to a naturopathic doctor and never looked back. but she was very upset and shocked of that. i sympathize with you and wish you all the best.
I can confirm this. As I recovered from severe acute IBD UC, I was very sensitive, which was useful to find out about food induced inflammation. Now I am fully recovered, I can tolerate most things, but I am still 99.99% carnivore. 1.5 years on, feel great.
I am a 79-year-old male; when I was 54, I cured my ulcerative colitis by going on an Atkins carnivorish diet. It doesn't happen instantly, but give it 90 to 180 days, and it will be gone or significantly improved. My case was so severe that it took about 6 to 8 months before it was gone. My doctor was angry with me and dropped me as a patient because I refused to take his medication 22 years ago, and I have not had a problem. The only thing I have changed is increased good, healthy fats and Protein. About 70% fat and 30% protein. Also, my gout, which I have suffered from since I was in my mid-30s, is not better; it's gone. That didn't happen until I changed the ratio of fat to Protein. Much of what I thought was gout was plantar fasciitis, and once the veteran's hospital got me the proper inserts for my shoes, 90% of what I thought was gout disappeared; the other 10%, I believe, was caused by things like high fructose corn syrup. It doesn't take much! Dr. Berry, one of your best talks, explains what I have done wrong over the years. I have noticed that some of the best advice comes from doctors who are not tied to institutions or clinics and must follow a standard of care regimen. Once they're out on their own and feel much more free about what they say, the smart ones like Dr. Berry give the best advice. The proof in the pudding is if what they say works, especially over time. That's about as good of evidence as you can ever get!
Seventy year old female with a decade of painful RA with frequent flares and a host of other complications with feet and wrists, lungs and heart. Also handful of daily pills and injections. Never ate SAD diet, mostly organic vegetarian most of my adult life. Lifelong "granola". Pounds starting piling on after last baby. I thought i was doing the food and lifestyle thing right. Ha. Almost eight months into carnivore now and been pain free since week two. Ten years of methotrexate and a revovling host of other drugs. Down to half dose injection of mtx as I ween off completely. High blood pressure? Gone. T2 diabetes? Gone. A1c above 9? Nope is now below 7. Those four inches on my bloated belly? Gone. Stiff and sore limbs? Gone. Depression from being in pain most of the time? Gone. No energy? Gone. Seized up and swollen legs, knees and hands? Gone. In fact now have enough energy to walk 1 km to pool and do yoga like stretching. I used to do taekwon do and hike - not gonna say i can do that again but my knees can now bend and im not a knot of twisted bones in the morning anymore. Dunno know if NAFLD is getting better yet. Baby steps. I gave in to summer treat cravings and had a bowl of yogurt organic blueberries and strawberries yesterday. Yes, it tasted divine. However my hips are tender and sore when I walk, and wrists and ankles feel like a burning mess. My poop stinks. My belly is bloated. Lesson learned. "Nothing tastes as good as painfree feels" Only complaint is after original twenty pounds lost in first few months, weight not budging. You two Doctors are my go-to source for information and guidance. Thank you from my heart. ❤
Gday! I really appreciate you sharing your story...much of it resonates with me too. Thankyou! Im only 5 months in, RA & clinical drug resistant depression improving. This is just the beginning!! No intention of changing my carnivore lifestyle!! 😊 Thanks again ❤❤
AMAZING testimony!!! 👏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽 I have had severe RA since I was 10 (over 40 now) just ravaged by the disease with so many joint replacements and fusions. I heard about Mikhala Peterson's battle with RA and depression, on the same drug protocols as me...now I am hearing your story...just PHENOMENAL. Gives me some real hope!
2 years carnivore, I’m only able to eat ruminants, and I have histamine issues. I’m still not fully well but I’m so much better than I was! So grateful to have found carnivore/lion, I don’t know where I’d be without them. Things improved even more doing a cold plunge every morning too, just throwing that out there for anyone who could benefit x
Started carnivore 408 days ago. Lost my way on vacation for a few days and was miserable for a while, weight loss has been slow. I think that is mostly due to not getting moving. Doing better now. I believe this is life saving. I believe some of us have a lot to heal and need to be patient. Thank you doctors!
Exactly! We aren’t ruminants. We don’t have the proper equipment anatomically speaking. We have highly acidic not alkaline stomach secretions. It makes me grateful for my ecology and evolutionary biology with veterinary technology education
But the body DOES absorb a great chunk of it, by fermentation. It gets broken down in short fatty acid chains. Those you can use. Thats common knowledge.
Dont try and convince people in youtube comments. People will believe what they want, carnivore is not a complete diet. There is nothing wrong with eating meat and its got alot of nutrition. That does not mean meat only is ideal.@@obelixpfeifenreiniger2863
Agreed, I have chronic ileitis for 20 years that led to adhesions that would get infected everytime I increased fiber (per their recommendation), sigmoidectomy which helped with infections for awhile till last year and there back. Went on Carnivore 5 weeks ago and no issues so far. Belly pain and loose stools are gone! Continting to learn from all of you, THANK YOU!!
Besides like 1 bite of some fruit type pie at holidays once every decade or so... I've NEVER had fruits or vegetables in my life. Esp veggies, bleh, not a speck. Turned 52 this year & tho family, doctors swore Id be malnourished, have scurvy or be dead by 20.. Here I am the only one I know without IBS, digestion issues & on zero meds/supplements.
I just got my copy of Lies My Doctor Told Me in the mail today! Can't wait to get started on it - Dr Berry is one of my fave keto/carn guys, such good info in plain, clear language. Just found YOU a week or so ago, you were part of a panel with some veggie peeps - instant subscribe, lol!
I love dr.berry and he’s on point 95% of the time. I just can’t say fiber and carbohydrate in any form is part of a proper human diet outside of trying to put on fat within a month using fructose for a few days a year and even then that would be to not starve thru a winter without success in the hunt ( in the land of abundance it is nice to have this metabolic pathway still available just in case. ) He says it’s a spectrum, fair enough, but that doesn’t mean that ppl who can tolerate something better than others means it’s appropriate for optimal health outcome. Any amount of fiber or carb is going to cost you down the road. That said I’m not telling anyone how to live, just don’t think that any plant or sugar is not harmful. My two cents
So much suffering could be avoided. It’s tragic that so many will have to go on in unnecessary pain. The research WILL happen but it could be 20 years. Thank you for offering us this ahead of time. We are privileged 💕🇦🇺
I wish my Mom could have gone on carnivore. She had 18 inches of colon removed for precancerous polyps and then a couple months later had hemorrhoid surgery. These consecutive surgeries nearly killed her. She developed dementia and died about 8 years later due to diabetes most likely and eating all the wrong foods for years - fruits, veggies, grains, and seed oils slow killed her. Went to her grave thinking she had to have fiber. A few months before she died she developed another golf ball sized external hemorrhoid that she had surgically removed. Her life at last was uncomfortable at best.
Im heading to a mostly carnivore way of eating. I started doing low carb, keto but i think i may be sensitive to fruit, veg and grains. So fully carnivore appears to be my destination
When i fall off carnivore, even on simple plant foods like oats or protein powders, it not only affects my gut, I mentally feel just blah. Then a day long fast with plenty of water and sweat, back on liver eggs beef fish, then wow feel like a million bucks. Lucky for me I get back to carnivore epic feelings quickly. But good god, when I fall off, the feeling of wanting to get back to that level is insane. Carnivore for life.
Ive had the worst full body rash from poison sumac for over a week. I was trying to pick blackberries. Ive decided im done. That green looks all evil to me now!! Going back to carnivore goodness all the way!!! Yehaw!!!❤
Ive been keto then carnivore for 4 years .2 years ago i had numerous abdominal surgeries , including an ileostomy and ileostomy reversal . Because if the adhesions i cannot now eat fibre , and i couldnt be happier . I did try a bit of fibre in april , i ate 2 very small apples and an olive . Put me in hospital for 4 days with a blockage . So going forward the surgeon advised me to eliminate fibre from my diet
Carnivore for 11 months. Lost 35 lbs but lost my gallbladder 5 months ago by emergency. Was doing fine on ketovore until this weekend when I just started bile dumping out of the blue. Everything I ate I ran to the toilet for 2 whole days. I had no choice I needed to ingest a binder so I took Metamucil to bulk up the bile dumping which works otherwise I couldn't go anywhere outside the house. I started taking super enzymes and probiotics. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Some people do great without a gallbladder some people don't. I'll also be taking a Fibre supplement to get this bile dumping under control. Lower fats too. Wish me luck.
I’d a cholecystectomy 10 years ago and never experienced bile dumping - I don’t even know what that would mean for me ?? Carnivore 5 years and ageing backwards- in my mid 70s xx
When switching to carnivore earlier this year, I quickly noticed that I do well on beef, but I experience symptoms when I eat chicken and pork, so clearly those just don’t work for me, at least not at this point in my life. May try again from time to time. As you experiment, you will find what works for you and doesn’t work for you. Carnivore has a spectrum within it and is not a one size fits all situation. Customize it to YOUR needs, no one else’s.
Enjoying insights from both doctors Dr.Ken and Dr.Anthony back at home in Fiji 🇫🇯. Very inspiring for us Dieticians when these revolutionary Doctors advocating for anti-inflammatory dietary approach(carnivore/ketovore) to put IBD/IBS, Chrons, Ulcerative Colitis to remission
Both of you, and the information that you are sharing with us is priceless. The access of the indisputable facts.. at least for myself, is one of the very best things about the internet. Thank you both so very much!
When eliminating fiber completely, I felt like a new person completely. I had mild GERD for 15 years, and it never has even once returned since going ketovore over a year ago. I never experience bloat like I used to when eating those famous "whole grains" the dieticians on tv loved to push as being amazing for you. Dairy from full fat Greek yogurt did cause joint inflammation early on when doing ketovore, but as soon as I eliminated it, the inflammation went away and has never returned. I can consume a little butter and cheese fine every day, but the yogurt I will always avoid since I knew it caused joint inflammation.
I think the sicker you are/made yourself...the stricter you might need to be for a longer time. When you feel better then you can add one thing and see results...like pork or dairy...do a clinical trial on yourself. That's what I tell people that think I'm weird and wrong...Oh I'm on a clinical trial
Answer is YES. Fibers are essential, especially if you carry bad pathogens, and this is meant to flush out the bowels along with giving your gut some rest, because meat and protein are longer and harder for the gut to process, hence why on a carnivore diet you take days to go to the bathroom. I had a parasitic infection for years which no doctor diagnosed, and it was giving me lots of discomfort to the point where my health was extremely impeded. I realised depending on the type of food I was eating that my condition was either worsening or had no effect on my condition. After I began developing arthritis that’s when I panicked, and I carefully studied what I was eating and found out that fibers was the culprit, and a few weeks later I jumped into a carnivore diet before finding out butter, eggs and crustaceans gave me flare ups on my skin, so I cut everything down to just beef, so basically a lion diet. My digestive issues resolved very quickly, arthritis was gone under 2 weeks and I haven’t felt joint pain ever since, I no longer had chronic diarrhea, this also took about 2 weeks, I slept better, quit snoring, my gums didn’t bleed anymore after brushing my teeth, I had a lot of energy I had not felt for about 10 years, and I had a very clear mind overall; the later took only a few days to disappear, and clearance of mind happened on the 3rd day. I have been following the lion diet for well over 1.5 years at this point, but psoriasis still lingering around, and kind of worsening I had to make changes, and that’s when I realised that I should try eating fibers again after all this time. And to my surprise, in over 5-6 years I have not had diarrhea since I started eating fibers again. Clearly, eating only meat for a while repaired my gut, but the problem is that meat takes a long time to process and that I felt bloated all the time, and even feeling very sluggish after every meal, which shouldn’t be. I’m not kidding, it’s been almost a week since I’ve started eating fibers again and I have 0 adverse effect on my health, on the contrary, now I sleep even better, and the most important thing: I finally have signs of my psoriasis starting to fade. I’m gonna say this : having lived it myself, I believe a regimen of meat alone will repair damaged tissues, cut down inflammation significantly, resolve a plethora of inflammatory issues, and overall makes you healthier, but then there is a time when you need to realise if you’ve been following this diet for a long time, and that you still have no real improvement about something in particular that it is time to reintroduce eating some fibers, which are easy for the body to digest and will literally cleanse your insides by scratching off and flushing out bad pathogens, bad bacteria or residue inside of your colon. There is no debate about the effect of fibers. Too much fiber all the time will damage your gut lining, no fiber ever will leave your colon with residue. Do not even try to debate, meat alone takes the gut 48-72 hours to process, I’ve been living it for well over a year. Protein is a lot of work for the body to process. I believe in meat being the basis and foundation of the human diet, no other thing is healthier for the body to maintain weight, shake off visceral fat, heal arthritis, mucus related inflammation, anemia and mental health, but then you need fibers every once in a while to cleanse yourself out. I believe in balance, too much of one thing can become toxic and I realised only eating meat was just becoming toxic to my body. I was only eating grass fed and finished ribeye and tomahawk steaks along with calf liver once a week, NOTHING ELSE THE SKY IS MY WITNESS, nothing else to drink other than water too, and I’ve seen all other symptoms resolve, but not the psoriasis, the bloating and the extreme sluggishness after every meal, so then I knew I needed to make a change, and now that my insides are repaired it’s time for the medicine, and medicine has always been about plants, not meat. I think plants are a great natural kind of chemotherapy, hence why so many people heal of many things on a vegan diet, it makes you weaker, it attacks the immune system naturally, calories in calories out but leave little to no residue, but then people go all in thinking only eating plants is the way to live, and then in the long run they get sick, and that’s because we need to balance things out, the body needs animal protein without a doubt, there is no debate whatsoever about this neither. Too much plants will f you up, and too much meat will also f you up. Eating less and what you need is the way to go, so stop with the childish war. Everything exists for a reason. Eat meat until you feel better, meat will repair damaged organs, but then eat some plants every now and again, that’s what is literally healing me right now, so whatever you might say, I trust what my body tells me over the words of any man and regardless of if they have a doctorate diploma given 20 years ago, I don’t care about status and I hope the time I took to share a bit of my story helps someone out there who gets confused by 2 different speeches, and who after trying both still have issues. Peace exists in the middle, in the balance of things, always, so stop with the aggression, stop with the one way speech, there is balance to even things out and resolve all ailments, and it is by eating what you need, which in some cases people have an extreme deficiency in b12, zinc and vitamin d, and on the other side you also have people who have deficiency in vitamin c, carry bacteria, pathogens and residue in their colon which makes them sick likewise, so eat meat, but remember to eat plants too, I think it’s pretty easy to understand. A carnivore diet, or even better I think, a lion diet, will heal you in many ways, but then you will need some fibers every now and then, I am almost certain of it, because again, I’m a living proof of fibers doing me good as I speak. Everybody is different because we all have different problems or health issues. I know a lot of people claimed to have healed of everything with a carnivore diet. Guess what ? You were not eating enough animal protein and lacking specific nutrients only animals carry. But in most cases, it’s actually eating junk that caused the issues. All the big sacks want to blame plants, but actually they were indulging in junk processed foods around the clock. I know a lot of people who claimed to have healed of everything with a vegan diet. See the pattern here ? Either someone is lying, or it’s simply a question of balance, that the latter was lacking specific nutrients and vitamins too, a good cleansing of their insides that only fibers can take care of. Don’t get caught up in the war and mind games, listen to your body, eat meat and eat plants with balance. If you’re overweight, have inflammatory issues, you lack protein and obviously eat too much junk and processed foods. If you’re weak, you need protein, but if you have a skin issue in particular, if after eating only meat for a long time you still have the issue lingering around, don’t be stupid, cut the protein, cut the processed foods too obviously, and eat some fibers only for a while to cleanse yourself, see the result. 👍
Dr. Chaffee, 🙋♀️ have been ordering from Stockman Steaks here in Melbourne, Australia. Love their meat. Sirloin my favourite. Such wonderful customer service too. 👏🇦🇺
I wonder if the beef industry would be interested in funding a good study? I live in Iowa, USA. I think the beef industry has money and would certainly benefit, so maybe? Maybe several animal industries would pull together to fund some major, undeniable research on their products?
You too are my favorite people when it comes to diet and common sense. I did experiment and it took awhile to complete the transition. Never had a problem with weight or allergies until I hit my 40s. Started to gain weight, had issues with IBS, and then in my early 60s developed severe lower back pain and could hardly walk. Started experimenting 6 months ago, IBS gone, back pain gone and weight now starting to come off. At 68 I feel better than I did at 40. For all those people that refuse to listen but suffer, give it a try it. Carnivore diet will not kill you, but your regular diet might. Thank you both so much!!
It been over a year eating 90% carnivore. Finally my stomach accepts beef without stomach issues..chicken seems to be the best for me. I’m recovering from an auto accident. Definitely seeing an improvement. I’m 70 and feeling more alive. Solar flares, Mercury retrograde, full moon, also affects my health.
9- days into Carnivore with noticeable differences for the better; BUT caused I’m talking severe constipation had to back away. Type2D, IBS, Dystiona, Tardive Dyskinesia
A big issue kicking off is C15. By the way it may be better for the environment to restor the herbivore herds and grasslands/mixed woodlands. It would also sequester a lot of carbon. Add in sustainable fisheries and switch on the whale pump.
Great chat💪🥩 I’ve been on carnivore diet for 2 years now and started to share my story here a week ago. Been active in tiktok for few years now. Keep up the good work.
Been keto/carnivore in some form since 2020. joint pain is gone, I am more flexible than ever. I work out an average of 2 hours a day, including a 3.5 hour bike ride once a week (weather permitting). I no longer sunburn and my psoriasis is gone. .
Thank you to both of you for this information. I'm on this WOE since 7-1-23. Down almost 45 lbs. I've had some Histamine reactions and have not pinned down what it is, but it's rare. I eat pork and chicken, beef and salmon, eggs and bacon.
Most beef is dry-aged and can cause some folks histamine reactions. There are fresh, non-aged beef available. Or, you could be sensitive to egg whites. Best regards. 7:38
I have a histamine reaction also . Random hives... I've tested everything... I still can't pin it down .. Getting a little better the longer I'm carnivore...❤
Last year here in California, my daughter's female high school biology teacher told the class that people who eat a lot of meat have a lot of body odor. Unfortunately, my daughter accepts the teacher's opinion over mine.
😂 Love this!! Most people are so ignorant regarding nutrition, that if you told them you eat a ton of fibre (being meat fibre), that they accept that no questions asked - easy fob off 😂
Why does it seem that so few doctors have a backbone when it comes to things like this? Is there a screening during medical school admissions to select students who will be highly compliant and obedient to established authority figures?
They are educated by big pharma. They have no choice but to at least go along with the lies to get that scam license to poison for pay. Like most things human...you can chose to step away from the lies...do it quietly though...'cuz they WILL come after you.
I was under the impression that fiber was harmless and was used to fill up the stomach so we could go further without eating. Fiberfull was a diet bar, it never made me full, it always gave me a stomach ache. At least now I know it isnt me it’s the damn medical/nutrition manipulations.
I was vegan for a few years & slowly developed 3 Autoimmune conditions, The first just after only eating WFPB. I'm now Ketovore & trying to heal my body again. So Grateful to both of you for your content.
Many of the things mentioned are healed. 71 yr F 8 mo. Lion and 4 mo added eggs, bacon. Way more water and salt, learned the hard way on the one. Thank you so much for posting. I will post on my FB❤
I'll have been carnivore for four months in about 5 days. I didn't weigh when I started but I've dropped at close to 60 lbs from what I was telling everyone... I'm sure I was bigger and the weight loss may be closer to 80 pounds with no exercise. I was highly inflamed, having difficulty breathing, felt like I was at deaths door, and everything was aching. I'm still tired all the time, have severe knee and back pain, but overall I'd say my health is improving. I'm hoping to heal Hashimoto's, autoimmune gastritis, and gastroparesis. I've learned what I can eat, all beef currently, but I have to be careful of too much rendered fat or I do feel sick. I know Hashimoto's and the gastritis might take years to heal, or even improve. I treated my body terribly for many decades so I can't expect immediate results, though it is frustrating seeing other have immediate results and me not seeing similar. I used to eat chicken all the time, but not anymore. I don't feel satiated and sometimes it just sits on my stomach. The same with eggs. I gave up pork probably 20 years ago, with no desire to pick it back up. I'm looking to try some lamb soon to see how I do with that.
As always, preaching or debating to/with the choir! I'm ketovore/carnivore and doing well but I always lend an ear to the other camp so as not to get mired in dogma. How about both of you have a debate with Dr. Gill Carvalho of Nutrition made Simple? A science based but primarily plant oriented (not exclusively) concern.
I had to change my doctor two times because of their feelings regarding my nutrition choices. I couldn’t be more respectful and shocked. One even kicked me out of his office with “you are healthy, you can leave”
Been carnivore for two months. Bloating and stomach issues all gone. Recently i've added one cup of frozen fruit immediately after I lift weights (I lift every day) for a controlled insulin spike and protein sparing (gluconeogenesis) and to accompany a dose of L carnitine tartrate/EAA's. About 20g carbs and a little fiber in a gluten free supplement form. This has helped with the other stomach issues that seem to accompany a high fat diet for me. Frozen fruit because its frozen while ripe (minimal defense chemicals). No grain, no vegetables, no dairy, no seed oil and no honey with the hadzas. Probably average 15 grams of fiber daily. No bloating. Seems about perfect.
What I have found is every time a doctor prescribes a certain medication which was developed to help a certain ailment, you always get a form that comes with it to describe the list of side effects that are brought on by taking the medication. This is a vicious circle. You go from one ailment to having a possibility of multiple.
I had a Colonoscopy 10 days ago and it is clean as a whistle...but I swear the doctor and the nurses in the room had a party in there because I was sore the next day. The best part as always was the propofol.
Just got done discussing carnivore with someone ol. When i told them the success i am having with it they called me a loon and said i was going to die of atherosclerosis and visceral fat(with a 30 inch waste....) my mind is blown.
I had insomnia in the beginning of my carnivore journey but it got better over time. It happens intermittently now. I found a few things helpful: Eating brown butter bites before bed. Rising early to get sunrise light on my face and in my eyes to reset my internal clock, winding down 2 hrs before bed with no screen time, only low light, relaxation activities and cutting out caffeine. Make sure you up your fat intake which helps sort out hormones and brain chemicals. There are many good you tube videos on this topic...do a good seach.❤
I've always been a great sleeper but after I went more animal-based (2018) I started to have poor sleep. One solution I learned about was to eat some carbs (not too much) close to bedtime. I certainly wasn't going to eat a bagel or pasta but I figured a small amount of fruit could work. So I would eat about 1.5 oz (about 40 grams) of blueberries about an hour before going to sleep. It worked!
For me, 2000mg of taurine, 8000IU of vitamin D and 500mg of magnesium (all an hour or so before bed) has got me sleeping better. Good luck - I hope you get this sorted soon.
Saw a podcast w/2 Dr’s talking about their college days when Dean talking to the med students. Saying , that half of what we will teach you will probably be wrong, the problem is we don’t know which half. There in lies the PROBLEM!
71 yo f on carnivore/ ketovore 1 year. IBS- D symptoms for 43 years. In less than 1 month symptoms gone- if I had only known to stop all the fiber we’ve been told is so important for us. I have no more have acid reflux, back pain decreased by 80%… A friend I hadn’t seen in a while said that I look 15 years younger and that my mood is ‘sparkly’ now! I like the 15 years younger part. Lab values- well my trigs is 66 and HDL is 86;my LDL is just above 290; which my doctor gets emotional b about when i saw her this month. The only thing that hasn’t come down yet is my hgA1c. Last 6.0, time before 5.7. Don’t understand since I’m low carb 0-5 grams/d.
I've been watching you on and off at for a few years now. Early on? You used to be as red as a lobster. Kind of puffy looking? I really thought you were wrong. But I look at you now? You've normalized and you look younger! Possibly as much as a decade. Kudos to you. For sticking to your guns.
