100% ACCURATE. I've been carnivore for just three months, and aside from the weight loss, the best side-effect was the (almost) total disappearance of IBS and the constant gas. That ALONE was worth it.
Probably different for everybody. My mom ate meat eggs dairy beans greens cabbage. She would bite into an onion like an apple.🙄 Flatulence? You bet, bless her heart.😅 She managed to healthily "flatulate" herself to 103 years of age and rarely went to a doctor. Probably not the norm....
Reading the comments, I see that many are confused about the video. Dr Berry simply stated these facts: 1- meat doesn't rot in the colon 2 - if anything rots in the colon, it's plants matter. He never said you should not eat the 7 foods listed, just be aware of the possible consequences!
Agree. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Dr Berry recommending brussel sprouts etc. maybe I’m thinking someone else but I don’t think so This is not known as rot. This is known as fermentation to butyrate which “nourishes”. the intestinal cells. And beans saved my life. That being said - if you’ve lost the bacteria that metabolize these foods - of course you will have trouble initially. If you lost the minerals you need to make sure SULFITE is converted to SULFATE - you’re going to have an issue
Dr Berry didn't say it but obviously you shouldn't eat these foods that are rotting in your body. Gas is evidence of your body fighting against the food. It is amazing to go carnivore and have no gas of any kind
I have steamed broccoli every day, and I almost live on red onions and garlic. I eat meats, sardines and other fish... no grains or oats, no bread, and I have no problem with my tummy, normal elimination in the morning, very little gas, and nothing rotting. The paint on my walls is intact.
And for your genes, that is marvelous. May I ask your age? I’m 69 and my leaky gut from 36 years of low fat plant based eating caused horrible inflammation. All the foods you can eat are poison to my decrepit system. 🍳🥓🥩🧈rock
Actually, broccoli is a very good cleansing vegetable for your liver. If you have a fatty liver and you eat dairy and it gives you loose balls starting some broccoli just broccoli with good butter and a good slab of meat you’ll feel really good and your liver will. Thank you. I ate all meat, lamb, beef, ground beef, liver, a couple times a month, chicken, eggs, hard cheeses, Parmesan Reggiano, mozzarella cheddar my dog also eats all that except for the dairy I make her dog food she’s healthy at 10 years old I eat sardines with no soybean oil usually packed in water I ate salmon, scallops, crab and lobster. If I can get my hands on it a good price that’s it.
I watched a video years ago that was posted by a person with an ostomy bag. What would plug the entrance to the bag was always vegetable matter. there was never any meat visible. Also, when was the last time you saw meat in your poop? Corn, yes Green peppers, yes tomatoes, yes..... but never meat.
I'm retired and living in an experimental travel trailer. In August 2023 I did a full conversion to keto carnivore diet. Coincidentally, I use a composting toilet with used coffee grounds as the composting medium. Since full conversion to the carnivore diet, the compost doesn't stink. Instead, it has an earthy smell, which is milder than peat moss. And, since conversion to carnivore, I have almost no intestinal gas.
before when i ate vegetables before converting full carnivore, my 💩 never smelled. And now, i am full carnivore, it still doesn’t smell. Like many my 💩 don’t stink.. j/k making a joke, but yes you are correct our bodies can process and use so much of the meat there isn’t the leftover biohazard rotting in receptacles. Imagine how much waste is saved by not eating things our body cannot digest.
Since I went on ketovore I’ve noticed when I sweat, that horrible stench of perspiration is not there. When I go in the sun now, I don’t burn nearly as bad as I used to. Skin tags disappeared.
I had many scans and trips to the gastroenterologist. They told me I had GERD and also IBS. They told me I needed MORE fiber! This of course, made things worse and I was in constant abdominal pain. On a chance coincidence, this guy at work would bring in oatmeal cookies once a week. I noticed after eating them I always had pain. Then I noticed the same thing happened when I had oatmeal for breakfast. Aha! It's the oats. I cut them out of my diet and no medication needed and no more pain. Thanks for nothing, doctors! But at least you got those copays.
Oats, my favorite food of all time... sends me within 15 minutes into a terrible cramping and diarrhea nightmare that lasts for days AND ends up in a diverticulitis attack. 😱😭 haven't eaten it in years. Meat and some fruit... are the only things I can do successfully
All the raised garden beds will be filled with flowers this year. Need to look for some steak seeds, roast bulbs and ground beef tubers. Thank you Dr. Berry.
Great idea!! I was wondering what to do with MY raised beds! Was going to plant herbs...Garlic, Basil, Onions, etc., but I think I will just plant flowers, as well!! Thanks for the idea! 🤩
I'm thinking Not everyone could go vegan, not carnivore.. It could depend on the shape of their teeth? How they are in mouth? Those, who may have "larger" teeth, may do better as carnivore Those with smaller, compared to others may have to be more Omnivore? I tend to have smaller teeth My braces covered my entire tooth in mouth, while others looked longer
My diverticulitis immediately went into remission September 8, 2023 when I started carnivore diet. I used to have episodes about biweekly. I have had ZERO episodes since that date.
I just returned from a colonoscopy. I left my iPhone at home. So no one heard me taking about it. Yet, this video pops up on the top of my feed. RU-vid has one hell of an effective algorithm.
People have been eating all those stuffs for thousands and thousands of years. On average, a meal takes 4-5 hours to completely leave the stomach. The surface of the small intestine absorbs anything that our enzymes have broken down into sufficiently small components. There of course is hardly any bacteria in our stomach because of the hydrochloric acid there. Current data suggest that the healthy human stomach holds a core microbiome dominated by Prevotella, Streptococcus, Veillonella, Rothia and Haemophilus. A shift in abundance of Firmicutes phylum and the Streptococcus and Prevotella genera can be found in the H. pylori-infected stomach and in gastric cancer. That gut bacteria go to work and digest some of the remainder, sometimes producing waste products that we can absorb. The remaining indigestible plant matter 'fibre’ and other waste emerge as faeces. One of the main purposes of the stomach is to sterilize food by mixing and churning it within the muscular, acid-containing stomach and stomach acid helped protect the body from food poisoning. The place where fruit produces gas is in the colon, not the stomach. The colon is loaded with bacteria and acts as the body’s sewage system. Food takes 6 to 10 hours to reach the colon n it does not really matter when fruit is eaten. Fruit contains sugar and vitamins, which are absorbed in the small intestine, and complex fibers, which pass through the gastrointestinal tract without much digestion. When the fiber reaches the colon, the colonic bacteria feed on the fiber and produce gas as a byproduct, regardless of when and with what the fiber was ingested. This guy talks as if it's a bad thing..total rubbish..everything will be passed out in the end as faeces. Those fruits n veggies provides the necessary fibre
Dang!!! I ❤️ those things!! But, I am SLOWLY converting over to the Carnivore Diet...At 62, I HAVE to make sacrifices to get and STAY healthy!! Thanks for posting this list...Makes it easy to refer to! 😊
Now that I have been on the carnivore diet for several years, I think I understand where the old wive's tale about meat sitting in your stomach forever came from. The amount I poop has gone down dramatically. I realize now it's because your body uses so much of the meat, there just isn't much waste left. But, I can see where people thought it should be coming out like vegetables do (like corn that just seems to be there for the ride!).
Dr. Berry I like you more and more every time I watch one of your videos. I luv your personality and humor, but most of all how you just say things very direct. Thank you for researching and sharing your knowledge with us. I now have my sister following you as well. 🙂
Yeah, in a healthy gut they cause little to no harm, but that doesn't change the fact that they rot in the gut, if you are lucky enough the byproducts of that rotting will be useful,but the benefit for hypercarnivores like humans is negligible... The real problem happens when rotting doesn't happen at all and you poop rock hard all the time because that fiber is getting dry by the colon and not degraded by any bacteria, that's when chronic unmanageable constipation develops and can only be resolved by eating no fiber.
@@gabrielbarrantes6946 Yeah, it's truly all about gut health. Those who have to eat just meat don't have the bacteria they need to eat vegetables bloat-free. So be it. Maybe they took tons of antibiotics as a kid or something and decimated their flora. I dunno, but pushing whatever "perfect" diet someone thinks exists because it works for them is getting old...no matter WHAT that diet might be.
@@kathleenking47 Pleeeze! 🤣 Beans giving people very stinky gas is well known, and constipation doesn't even enter into the equation! You must have watched the campfire scene of the cowboys eating their beans in Blazing Saddles at least once in your life. LOL!
*I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF IT* . Perhaps we should talk about people being hooked on allopathic - Doctor prescribed medication that end up causing illness & even worse - losing one's life .
I have been trying carnivore and lately have failed. Boy am I paying the price. I’m so full of gas. Back to carnivore. I’m going to definitely win this fight. It’s just hard in a household of eat whatever you want kind of people. My house is almost done and I can’t wait to move in and start with my journey with a clean slate. No excess food that is not needed in my house.
Yes, the hardest part I have is the others in my house eating sugar, carbs, beans, etc and remembering the 'good' times like birthday parties which are just sugar feasts. I once managed to clear out of the house all the temptations and for about 6 months it was much easier. No cakes and bikkies with my black coffee because simply, they were not in the house. Then Xmas, kids and grandkids and it all started again.
I've been eating mostly carnivore since late january 2023. Pavlovian conditioning has been in progress all this time. Each time I eat plants I pay for it with hours or a day or so of intestinal discomfort. I'm getting at the point where I'm starting to really think twice before eating plants. It's becoming harder and harder to want to do "indulgences". It took getting burned by the stove many times before my desires are finally recalibrating and taking into account what happens after I eat this or that. It's one thing to know it in a narrow and very incomplete way intellectually and that was how it was for a long time and it's a different thing really be viscerally aware of the full ramifications of eating something that will have bad effects and have that factor into the desire to eat it.
I have been on carnivore for a while and my wife thinks i'm crazy and complains when I refuse to eat her "type" of food. It is getting to the point of me maybe having to move out and living alone. It is that bad. Marriage should not be a ticket to force your partner into their lifestyle.
I can appreciate the clearly explained parts about the two actions, of the Meat and the Veggies. You asked weather it is a bad thing if there are veggies rotting in the colon. However I only heard you mention the flatulence, as a bad characteristic. Cauliflower, Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, and even beans, yes beans do have some nutritional value, and I would imagine it is it is good to include variety of different healthy organic foods from time to time. So that the body has something different to work with in combination with the foods that are actually digested, or easily digested. I can appreciate the Keto, and every benefit it has given me, but there is no way I can permanently exclude including some veggies/bread/starches/legumes on occasion. Nutritional deficiency is a definite serious outcome at least for me. Supplementation can go on all day, but when nature provides some of the simplest solutions in the very basic foods that exist, and have existed already for the past 1,000's of years it's definitely the simple innate route I'll take to fix my nutrition. Thank you for your video!
Carnivore for right now , six weeks, I have lost 22 lbs. My Crohn's symptoms are down to a manageable amount, no stomach pains and regular bowel movements. My psoriasis in the nails have cleared 90 percent, skin is clear for the first time in 5 years. I have the can't stay still energy from 20years ago. Tomorrow will be 43 days and I couldn't be more excited. Thank you Doc Berry the gratitude is undescribable. You're a godsend!!
That is awesome! Well done to you for your dedication to yourself. May I ask how you started off on the carnivore diet? What do you eat and how often? Also, how long did it take for your inflammation to calm down? Thanks
@@littlemissangel5139 thank you! I started out with a three meal a day approach, like we were taught to eat. I had bacon and an omelette with cheese maybe crumble part of the bacon in the omelette. I would pack 2-3 boiled eggs and cheese sticks for a mid- day meal. Supper would be steak, roast, chicken thighs with skin, or fatty fish grilled with salt and butter. I might have made it a week being able to eat that much so I dropped breakfast, had a late lunch of bacon and eggs or hamburger steaks with salt and butter, with the same supper. I still had coffee in the morning the whole time. The energy came, weight started dropping, and inflammation really started retreating during this period of a couple weeks. I'm now only hungry for the evening meal, which has gotten larger and I'm now down 27 pounds. I hope this helps 😃. Here to help anytime.
@@blueridgerider7954 Hi! Thank you so much for your reply. Your input really counts so I appreciate you sharing your lifestyle change's with me & whoever else needs to read & absorb this. I am looking into how to start carnivore in a way that doesn't shock my system if you know what I mean? I came from a household where we couldn't afford real good meats all of the time but now I am at a time in my life where I can't afford NOT to eat prime cuts of meat. I am relearning everything I thought I knew about food & how best to cook it all. If you have any recipe tips, I would absolutely love to hear them ❤️ Thank you again for your time. 🙏
@@littlemissangel5139 It is easier to start with a keto diet and taper off the veggies. That being said, I was at the point I went full on carnivore. The best advice I can offer is keep electrolytes up and drink a lot of water to keep the "keto flu" at bay.
@@blueridgerider7954 Keto! Yes I shall have a look at that & see how I get on with it. Thank you again for your advice, it is appreciated 👍 I will also make a point of having electrolyte water & tablets on hand too. All the best to you 🙂
Interesting side note. I started making food for my 3 Australian Shepherds last July, from beef and freeze dried beef superfood (beef organs, meat, pulverized bone meal, blood and other good stuff) as the main ingredients and rice for bulk. The amount of waste from all 3 of my dogs has diminished dramatically. What they do pass is most likely from the rice. I also see that they look phenomenal. Their coats are beautiful, two of them were overweight and are now normal weight, one was underweight and is now normal weight.
After being carnivore for a year, we decided to swap our dog to raw-carnivore. He's 8 years old, but has had hip dysplasia since age 2. After a few months on all-beef diet, his hip dysplasia symptoms have drastically decreased. He can run now and just walk stiff-legged for an hour or two, instead of hopping on 3 legs for several days, or limping heavily for that long with vetprofen meds. I'm afraid his vetprofen is going to expire before we use it up - and I'm so happy to have this problem!
I’m transitioning my dogs and cat to just meat . Cats not thrilled but her food is getting so expensive now. We’re almost there with the dogs. Just finishing the last of the processed. Next week we’ll all be strictly carnivore
Yup - Cats are OBLIGATE CARNIVORES and dogs are SCAVENGING CARNIVORES. Sadly, so many pets die much too young due to being fed a completely inappropriate diet of kibble which is utterly DEVOID of nutrition for their specific biological needs. (KIBBLE = POISON). They may "survive", but they will never "thrive", and ultimately most commercial pet foods are as bad the 'Standard American Diet' for people. The Veterinary industry "Standard of Care" models the Human "Standard of Care" in the medical industrial complex. Stay as FAR AWAY from it as you can! Feed your pets a biologically appropriate RAW FOOD DIET and see them thrive for many years to come, with minimal to no vet bills. ✅
Hi Doc! You maybe right or maybe not. I changed my diet a couple of years ago to add more veggies including broccolli, califlower, carrots, kale, onions and my fav Garlic, as well as brocolli slaw, kale slaw. After eating a small portions of meat or fish for supper and boiled eggs for breakfast, i noticed i didn't fart and my poop didn't smell. In fact, i reduced my toilet paper usage down to 1 (one) sheet. So that's why i gotta let you know some of your info my not be correct. Thanks for your understanding and consideration.
Well anyways I'm lucky if I don't have to use one whole roll a day. Been having more gas than ever I figured it was because I was getting old and I had to eat a lot of beans lately as I was having to stay in a cheap motel to survive with only a microwave and a tiny refrigerator I couldn't really have normal foods had to eat out of cans mostly a lot of beans I'm so happy I got a subsidized apartment finally and I get to use the stove I just wish I could get to the store no car I never had gas in in my twenties. Meet tasted very good when I was a child we had excellent filet mignon t-bone steaks and we weren't Rich it was only on payday but now I can't seem to find beef that tastes good it seems like the quality of the beef has gone down horribly and chicken too what's up with this is it my imagination or is the quality of this stuff gone down I can't afford the expense of grass fed and buffalo meets I wish I could. I'm on disability and I only get $945 a month and they cut my food stamps for some strange reason they cut them like by $100 this is happening right now March 2024 I don't understand why they're cutting my food stamps when nothing has changed about my income I told them that and they just brushed me off something is terribly wrong now. I'll tell you all another thing I lived in Roseville California in 1969 and I saw real anti-gravity craft all the time over that City and everybody else did too so y'all put that in your pipe and smoke it
@@kayhansen9229 ... yep, we do what we need to survive, even if it's eating a can of beans which i can say from experience does make a person have alot of gas. I'm happy to hear that you got into a place to live and can cook for yourself. It's a real shame how the Govts treat older folks, especially us disabled ppl. I had my pension cut back in 2021 and every year until this year i got a small increase but it is far short of the original amount i recieved back in 2020. Govts lie about inflation and the continueous cost of living. They manipulate the facts to make themselves look better, total lies. At least you live in a warmer climate and don't have to put up with freezing weather like here in Alberta Canada. thanks.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POINTING THAT OUT DR BERRY! 💖🤗 The last argument I got into with a vegan, he ran the same line on me about meat rotting in the colon and causing cancer. And I didn't know that veggies are what rot in the colon, but I did know that meat is completely utilized by the body and not quickly passed out through the stool and my stool is completely odorless on the carnivore diet, and that's what I told him. That vegetables and carbs produce foul-smelling gas and stool and meat produces completely odorless stool. So how can food that makes you feel bloated and stinks coming out of you be better than food that doesn't? And I got no further reply from him. 😆
Arguing with a vegan is pointless, I have found. Their views are intrenched. All you can say is how well you are feeling, and ask the odd question. Then agree to disagree.
Its damn near impossible to have a civilised “debate” with a vegan. They’ll constantly bring up the most BS things to counter what you say. Actually, normal diet people who have been brainwashed will also bring BS to the table.
After starting carnivore, a restaurant server brought me mashed potatoes with my steak. Since it was there, I ate 3 bites of the potato. As I was leaving the restaurant, the gas started. I have not had a bite of potatoes since. The worst gas I ever had came from sweet-sour cabbage soup I had in a deli/diner in Highland Park. Brassicas just don’t agree with me!
I was a vegan in my twenties. Worst decision ever. Always hungry, always gassy. Skin broke out and I felt horrible! 70 days carnivore today! Chronic autoimmune illnesses are turning around! Meat heals!
I've recently had to see a GI specialist to discuss diverticulosis and some esophageal issues. While discussing fiber, I told her I might be willing to have the occasional non-starchy vegetables and low carbohydrate fruits, I would not be having any grains at all. She seemed fine with it and said she understood. I appreciated that.
Thank you for this video, Dr. Berry! Good info, plus, I've been scrolling through the comments and laughing myself sick for the past 30 minutes! Best comments ever ... especially about the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles!
A little over two months maybe going on 3 months into carnivore and I've got to say Ken, you're not only our favorite doctor, this is our all-time favorite video to play in the morning sometimes just so we can laugh and not flagellate anymore at the same time!!! 😆😆😆🤛🤛🤛💪💪💪💪🙏 Thanks so much for all you do. We are really enjoying moving into our 60s with you!!!!!!!!!!
Onions, garlic and those vegetables are bad for us? One advice I will skip. Yet, his family will cook up 2 packs of bacon. How much carcinogens are they consuming?
I've always felt that way, too. How can I cook dinner without onions and garlic?? But I like to experiment, so I tried. After a few weeks without them, my brain just shifted, and they're not appealing anymore. Today, if I cut an onion, my eyes water like they haven't in decades. I think we're just desensitized to them.
I eat what god said we should eat and it has helped me so much . God is good. I have lost 22 lbs just by eatting this way . My stomach and digestion has gotten back to normal . I will stick with what works for me .

Thank you for your videos Dr. Berry. I'm 47 going on 48 6'1" 195lbs and haven't fully adopted a strict carnivore diet just yet but I have greatly decreased my carb intake (100 or less a day) primarily by eating way less sugar and almost no breads or pastas along with increasing my protein intake from around 120-150 grams a day to 200-250+ (eggs,meat) and working out 5 days a week rather than 3. I have been doing this for nearly 6 months now and I had my blood work done the other day. I was expecting that my T levels would be around the same if not higher, only to have it say I'm 80pts lower from a year ago and of course my cholesterol levels were "high" according to the lab. I have gained 4 lbs of lean mass and lost 4 lbs of fat in that 6 months. My goal in changing my diet isn't for weight loss but more for weight management and muscle maintenance. AM I OFF FOR THINKING OR EXPECTING SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT THE TESTS SAY? Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
Still Waiting for not being bloated and gassy and having stinky farts, and I am almost one year carnivore. Some of us have been more damaged by plants than others. I blame oxalates the most.
Have you considered Aged Meat? All aged meat bothers me. The longer it is aged the more it upsets my GI Tract. The longer it sits on the store shelf or the longer it sits in my fridge makes it even worse for me. I have to shop by the color of the meat.
@@sheilam4964 everything and anything, like water, gives me gas. It’ll take time to heal. Getting unaged meat is virtually impossible. The closest I come to that is pastured pork slaughtered on farm near me. Pork is good. Also, oxalates are probably the source of histamine issues. I’m trying the megadosing thiamin/B1 protocol to heal my entire gut and nervous system. It’ll take time. Thanks for your comment.
@@sandygentry8455 indeed! Knowledge is power. Even more power is self-discipline and making proper healthy eating (and other) choices. It continues to boggle my mind how far away from actual accurate reality humans have strayed. Now when i read accounts of sickness and death, the underlying oxalate story is so clear to me, while all kinds of other stuff gets blamed. Oxalates go to already damaged sites in the body and… damage them more. In the modern world full of “invisible” poison, it’s too easy to blame sickness on an actually invisible micro-organism, for instance, and have people believe it and use more poisons to “protect” themselves. Crazy.
Wow, awful awful RU-vid. It never shows my responses to comments. I made 2, to each commenter. Let me know if you see the 2 long responses i posted. And people think the channel is censoring them, no it’s the abysmal YT algo/AI - it’s anti-social.
I've definitely passed farts that cleared the room, but so far, I haven't managed to peel the paint off the wall. Maybe if I ate more beans and cabbage.
My farts used to be legendary, co-workers claimed their mouse mats were curling up at the corners, one colleague said that I'd made the bathroom tiles fall off the wall. Now-nothing, but I can't shake my legacy.
Garlic has medicinal properties. Trust me, that's my go to for everything!! But perhaps we are not supposed to use it as a seasoning😢. Perhaps, it's just medicine... which you would only use when needed. I love both garlic and onion😅
I ran across this video, while; eating a breakfast of oatmeal w/strawberries/apples, EVO, yogurt and cinnamon. I have white beans soaking on the countertop, and I've been totally immersed in these so called "rotting" foods since arriving in Greece two weeks ago - courtesy of their amazing Saturday markets. A long-term health condition has greatly improved, and I've rarely felt better! The Blue Zones have it right -- they thrive on these so-called "rotting" foods!
Exactly right. The blue zones diet has been proven to extend life. I’m not listening to this man and sticking to my Mediterranean diet. It’s the best in the word
If you look at what so called Blue Zone diet really consists of youll find that animal products are the ONLY food that this diet is totally immersed in.
Fermented foods have beneficial bacteria that feed your gut microbiome. Me too I love onions and garlic and ginger. I used to eat those everyday on the fish tacos that I would make. Not deep fried fish either. A finger of good ohi or Ono. With fresh herbs about a dozen of them out of my garden with onion ginger and garlic 2 corn tortillas with a little cheese in between them. Then fish the herbs maybe some spinach or whatever. I literally had a dozen or more different greens out in the garden. Then on top some nasty sweet chili sauce out of a bottle. I used to eat those damn near three times a day for years at a time while living in Hawaii. I have access to fresh fish fresh from the fisherman at South point. I had baby lettuce, Shard, spinach, and even horseradish. The leaves are excellent in a salad. I love lots of meat and fish but I also add a large salad at least once a day. I don't have any problem with it. But everybody's gut is different.
Having a colostomy bag was not a particularly enjoyable experience, but the one positive I can take from my 6-month experience with a colostomy bag 30 years ago, was noticing what foods make it to the ostomy bag undigested. I can attest with first hand experience (like Kent Carnivore) that when I had a meat meal, there were NEVER chunks of undigested meat in the ostomy bag, it was just a brown liquid. However, there would be undigested corn, cabbage, lettuce, broccoli and various other fruits and vegetables whenever I had a meal high in vegetables. The other thing I observed was that the 'effluent' from the meat meals was not particularly odorous, but the plant effluent reeked to high heavens!
THANK YOU, I really needed to hear this because I am undergoing an elimination process of foods that I think are causing my colon inflammation. Oat milk, onions, garlic and cruciferous vegetables are high on my daily food list, and occasionally lentils or dry beans : )
Since going carnivore, my fridge smells so much better. I had the semi-yearly reminder to change my air filter in that thing, this week, and I just reset the timer because no rotting vegetable smells! The only time my meat supply causes a fridge odor is when I splurge and get some sausage with a bunch of spices in it. Also, the only time I get notably gassy is when I splurge and eat that sausage with a bunch of spices in it. 😂
I gave up my refrigerator. She was always mostly empty except for a piece of cheese or kefir. Meat goes into the freezer and then straight into the stomach. Leftovers are for the cat and chickens.
@@auntdee9678 I had 12 chickens and only eat 6-9 eggs/day. Two refrigerators were packed - I keep eggs on my counter only for a week or so…but I don’t wash egg so they are good from refrigerator for 5-6 months as fresh
Just did a Costco run on meat great prices for one person +doggie diet. My dog is also on the milder version of carnivore food. Her breath don’t stink she’s not itching all the time her heart is healthy the vet asked what are you feeding her at 10 yo Shih Tzu poodle I said carnivore diet. She passed as a young girl dog half her age 💞 Now my sugar has gone down from 134 to 101 in ten days. I don’t buy any carbs but I do grow lots of my berries and herbs I cook with. My grand kids love the berry yogurt (homemade) ice cream. 🍦 Thanks doc I’m feeling better every day 🙏🏻👍🏼
I had a colon resection 10 years ago from cancer. Best thing that ever happened to my guts. I can and do eat anything. Especially homemade chili, nuts, seeds, spinach salad every day for lunch, charcoaled stake, beer, organic oatmeal, lots of pasta. Whatever doesn't eat me first.
Yes, I occasionally take it like a supplement at night, ie. smash a clove, pour a few drops of fresh lemon juice on it, wait for 10 minutes and swallow it whole like a tablet. I've been Keto/ Low carb/ carnivore last 9 years. It has really helped me and also taught me what my body actually needs. We are all unique. I tend to incorporate leek greens, scallions and garlic when I feel I need them.
When It's whole and on its own... In the ground. Yes garlic and onion is highly anti-microbial but human digestion would likely make it the perfect environment to dilute and neutralize some of the anti-microbial properties. Sure it helped you but I don't see what being anti-bacterial had to do with that.
Many years ago when I was a young woman (in my early 30s), I would eat oatmeal made from steel-cut oats with soy milk and raisins and cinnamon. Yes, it tasted good. I would then peel the paint off the walls, wither my own nose hairs, and have to leave the room when I farted from that. Terrible gas!!🤦♀️ ☠️👃🤢 I made sure I didn’t have to go out in public after eating that. 😳
Thanks for that fart smell description. Mine don't smell, nor does my shit stink. I actually have a contract with the state hospital to sell my feces as medicine to heal cancer in 90% of their patients. Not a joke!
@@beethovensg LOL, you’re welcome for the description! That’s very cool about your poop. 👍 Does your state hospital use it for fecal transplants, like for colon cancer patients? Or something else? I’ve never heard of that before.
Not sure about this. I think he is using a simple analogy about rotting but telling me that Garlic and Onions are bad for us- is a stretch. He does not talk about Allicin. I eat it daily raw and have no gas. Some low starch veggies are not bad IMHO. I eat mostly Ketovore. I agree about avoiding all wheat and grains and frankly, I will add, I avoid most carbs, fruit juices, seed oils, etc. I eat whole foods. I exercise, rest well, etc. As Dr. Lustig says, "Protect the liver and feed the gut." All this said, I am on team Berry. Great doc and we need more like him...just try to give a little more context to these topics. Raw Garlic and Opinion are GREAT for most of us. It reduces colds, lowers blood pressure, has manganese, selenium, C and B6. Allicin is also an anti-oxidant. In reality, even superfoods like Avocado can have some less then perfect side effects if you eat too much e.g., Oxalates. No one says to avoid avocados. The bottom line is that health is the result of decisions. Progress is not perfection. The goal should be to educate oneself and simply strive to make better decision each day- even small changes, compound over time. Personally, I will stick with Ketovore and within reason, I will still eat my avocados, raw garlic and onions.
Here are some good alternatives to beans that you can incorporate into your diet: Lentils: These are a great source of protein and fiber, and they cook quickly. Chickpeas: Chickpeas are versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from hummus to salads. Peas: Peas are a good source of protein and fiber, and they can be added to soups, stews, or eaten on their own. Nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds are a good source of protein and healthy fats. Almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds are all great options. Tempeh: Tempeh is a fermented soybean product that is high in protein and fiber. Seitan: Seitan is a wheat gluten product that is high in protein.
Hello Dr Berry, can I ask where you're getting this information from? I'd like some resources on this, I've never heard of any food actually "rotting" inside.
Did you not see his dictionary reference? Ever heard of the microbiome? It's full of bacteria and fungi that will ferment/rot anything that makes it to your colon.
I think we all have to pay attention to our bodies, some people are bothered with gas and gut issues more than others. I did carnivore mainly to reduce inflammation. So many other good side effects it is well worth staying with the program!
I have had terrible gut issues that started at 60. I simply increased my fiber and tried multiple reset diets and PPI's with little to no relief. 65 now and still suffering up until 4 days ago. I had started each day with a huge bowl of oatmeal to go with all my other fiber and good lean protien as well. Sheer misery. Dropped the oatmeal along with everything else and started carnivore this week. Stomach pain and bloat already 80% gone. Don't feel great as I am in the adjustment phase. I have reasearched the diet and gut biome topic to death and taken thousands of doses of probiotics with ZERO positive effect. I don't know what my final results might be but the feeeback on carnivore is maybe 95% positive. For every other diet to resolve gut issues the feedback is mixed at best. Yes, it's definitely worth a shot as being miserable for 5 years was not my idea of an enjoyable retirement. Love all the feedback on these topics!
I do like this channel. With respect, It was the medical profession that told us that red meat and animal fats were bad for us: Red meat caused bowel cancer. Eat fibre from bran etc. I don't know what message to take from this video so I'll go with my logic: Flatulence without other symptoms, is a sign of a healthy gut microbiome. The foods seemingly endorsed in this video, which leave little residue for the large bowel are depleting my gut flora which can have deleterious effects on my physical and mental health as we are starting to learn from scientific study on the 3lb or so of probiotic bacteria that live in the large bowel. I will eat meat when I fancy but as part of a vegetable based, whole food diet including chia seeds etc along with water kefir, milk kefir and authentic honey, bee pollen etc. I'll drink my homebrew beer and wine too in copious amounts if I so wish and don't have other engagements; home brew which I make without stabilisers or finings or even sanitising tablets. Cheers! 🍺
You have just about described my vegetable garden. Perhaps if we all just drink water we will be safe. According to a lot of RU-vidrs nothing is safe. No carbs, no sugar, no meat, now no vegetables or now oats.
Exactly !! Vegetables rot ? I mean we have been eating vegetables for ever .I just don't get eating just meat . Although I love meat,but just meat eggs bacon REALLY BORING FOR EVERY DAY FOOD .MODERATION IS THE KEY
When I was young and learning to cook my favorite Texan aunt told me to boil all beans for five minutes. Then strain, to pour off the belly ache. Then refill with water, and cook. Works great, no gas.
You are a 1000% writer and Warren portly. I have 3 or 4 autoimmune disorders. Fight against each other against my body thinking they're helping my body. And they are greatly in aligned with what you're saying here about the foods and it is true and painful and just what you said. So, even if I didn't have those arrow mutant disorders, you would be right in my case, they're multiplied.
The Mayo Clinic is recommending people with gut inflammation eat grains!! They also said diet isn’t really going to reduce the problem. This is mindblowing!!
Yep. We went primarily carnivore back in Sept. Aside from my wife and I losing 52 and 35 lbs respectively, we very quickly noticed the flatulence dropped significantly. To the point that on the rare occasion, we do fart, it is quite surprising and not paint stripping. Oh yeah, dropping from a 9.6 A1c in Sept to a 6.9 in mid-Nov and we both got rid of a lot of inflammation in the joints. It didn't hurt, figuratively and literally, that the Hemroids went away.
that was one of the things I was worried about starting the carnivore diet is I have really bad internal and external hemorrhoids and I was worried about an all meat diet having a negative effect.
Literally the tagline "feature" of fibre was "it prevents you from absorping nutrients". Why would I want that?! I'm so skinny its hard to eat enough as it is.
@@Mallchad ya, man, you're so right. I couldn't get any weight even eating carbs, and when I turned to eating vegetables I only lost weight and got less energy than on easily digestable carbs. Right now being carnivore I just can't believe how stupid it was to eat fiber, thank God I figured it out finally.
@vincec727 don't eat carbs, that works better. Fiber only brings down blood sugar by not allowing your small intestines absorb the carbs you ate, but it pushes those carbs in your large intestines and rots. Forming alcohol and other bad things.
"So there." I remember my childhood playmates and I using that "stinging" childish rebuttal....65 years ago. Guess some people just never learn to use (clean!) adult expressions.
My mother age 88 eats cabbage beets cucumbers Fruit oatmeal still after all these years. No meds is active happy and has a simple fun lifestyle like her friends. Happiness is huge for overall health. I'm 62 I'll stick to veggies fruit and a burger once a week. No meds We also never smoke or drank Or not even sodas which kill the immunity
Anyone who’s been through a fast long enough to have a ‘blow out’ can tell you that there’s all sorts of literal crap up there you had no idea was there…
You should make a distinction between those and sprouts/fermentations. Like cabbage and sauerkraut, so people don’t get the idea that sauerkraut is bad for them (the real lacto-ferment kraut).
I eat a lot of veggies, broccoli, cabbage and Brussel sprouts and I don't have gas. Are those vegetables not rotting? Why do they rot? Are they not being pushed through? I'm confused. I also eat Dr. William Davis' yogurt everyday.
Well this makes sense - I was doing carnivore and reversed my type 2 diabetes. Everything was going well until I decided to add wheat products and raw bell pepper and cherry tomatoes. Long story short I wound up with Diverticulitis. Of course all the well meaning people say Don't eat meat eat more fiber and greens. I am going back to the carnivore never to stray in wheat land again. Am hoping am at the tail end of this it's been a very painful heads up of what not to eat.
Thank you!!! My dad, my stepdad, nor any other man in my life passed gas in front of me. After I got married I learned that my husband and his dad pass gas all the time and can at will! I just knew something was wrong with them! Later in life I realized my pappaw told my grandma a lot he was going to check the cows. I always wanted to go but rarely got to. To get to the cows he had to get in the pickup, pull out on the road to get to the next drive, go down the drive get out unlock the gate go thru the gate then lock the gate doing this 3 times before actually getting to the cows. I realized he was not gone anywhere near long enough to have gotten to the cows much less gone and come back. I really think he might have been going outside to pass gas. 😂 So then I started telling my husband if he ever let one slip I think you need to go check the cows! We got some strange looks because we don’t have cows. I pray I can get my husband and our children to eat carnivore! 2 of our daughters and 1 of our sons take after their dad. It drives me nuts! And yes his will peel the paint off the walls! 😂
I've been eating rolled oats with blueberries and strawberries almost every morning for years with no issues. Maybe because I also drink 8 ounces of coconut juice every morning and afternoon helps..
I did full blown carnivore for 42 days and I hardly had any gas and I only pooped every 2 and sometimes three days and it was very small amounts. Carnivore is hard to maintain though I have to admit. Takes a lot of effort and planning ahead.
To me it is the simplest way to live and eat. Have been 100% carnivore for almost three years. My body only functions on meat. It is so easy. We rotate from ground beef, sausage, eggs, steak, bacon and pork roast ( the butt is the best roast) and I only eat OMAD. I always know what I am going to eat for every meal! And the cost is so much less because you are not buying nearly as much food and especially the processed garbage.
Having Oxalate poisoning makes eating the carnivore way very easy for me, I cannot even use seasoning. I tried Redmond’s Chili Lime seasoning it took my voice away causing upper congestion which is not in my lungs this is the second time I have experienced this from trying seasoning.
It's not too bad if you don't mind simple meals. My household hits the meat market twice a week and we mostly airfry or grill our meals. You can also do individual bagging of meat, freezing it, then give the sealed package a thaw in water for ~1hr before cooking (or can do a partial thaw while getting ready for work, and then throw in the fridge until you get back home. I've also heard of airfrying straight from frozen, but look up tips on how to adjust cook times). Sometimes we do a scramble dinner with ground meat or diced meat and some spices for a treat. Carni-calzone is also a thing around here where you make an omelet or egg-crepe, with a bit of cheese and salami, sausage, pepperoni, etc. mmm. Then, on extra-lazy days, we have meat-charcuterie with a little bit of cheese for a meal - those vacuum packed salamis keep forever in the pantry, so they're a good back-up food for when life gets in the way. I think the biggest challenge, for us, was giving up things like the texture of noodles and bread. Amazingly, you can still get a good crunch texture via bacon, pork rinds, and baked chicken-skin chips, or by dicing up some meat and searing it - think popcorn steak instead of popcorn shrimp, haha.
My grandparents are both still alive and healthy at 95 and 96 years old. They both have eaten mostly beans their whole lives. They have also eaten quaker oats as early as I can remember and they are both disease free and doing great. What works for some does not work for all, but I think Im going to continue following my grandparents diet. Their longevity is proof that these foods cant be that terrible.
Moderation. But their farts are probably putrid. My parent are in their mid 90s too. Always preached against processed foods , and seed oils, like canola, margarine and was big into farmers diets, eggs and butter. Didn't follow all the diet trends. Didn't smoke. Still are light drinkers.
It’s very very confusing what to eat…..there’s always a channel saying oats is good and another saying it’s bad etc. I get conflicting and don’t know what to eat
the foods they ate the first half of their lives was not as processed and altered like today's foods, so that plays a part but animal products are pure nutrition so they are healthier than any grains
@@francobarry7304 - I was on the same boat. My doctors served only to let me get sicker than ever. Not a single word about nutrition whatsoever! So after hitting rock bottom. Went on keto. And now carnivore... Result of the later: I call it a MIRACLE. Yes with capital letters and all. ;-) I wish I would have started decades ago.
Does broccoli gas peel off wallpaper as wall as paint? I could have used that a few years ago when I moved into my new house. Every room was covered with pre-1980 wallpaper...
@kendberrymd -- I do not understand the onion/garlic in the list. I personally have no issues with digesting these. I always thought that the combination of both was good as they are anti-parasitic in nature. Please clue me in. Thanks!
The whole meat rotting in the colon goes wayyyy back. My mother was telling me that 40 years ago 😂 I'm keto, but I've definitely noticed its only vegetables that give me gas. Or erythritol and keto replacements containing fiber. On a carnivore meal I have zero digestive issues.
