Carnivore Diet Checklist [Tips to start a Carnivore Diet] 2024 

Started at 262 lbs in early spring, today I'm at 223 lbs. A1C from 9.2 down to 5.7. I'm a believer. Thank you.

Started carnivore 8 days before my ortho appointment for my sore achy knees. 2 days before appointment woke up with zero pain in knees. Went to appointment anyway and told the doctor about the turnaround and without even thinking he exclaimed "nothing to due with your diet , just a coincidence" at that point i decided i will never see that doctor again.

I'm starting because I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.... E V E R Y D A Y !

I’m starting today! I need a change! Send some prayers my way!!!!!!!!❤

I've been on Carnivore for 9 months. I have lost 80 pounds. My A1C is now 5.1. My blood pressure now runs about 110/70. My Family Doctor has removed me from Metformin, Lisinopril and Amlodipine. The Carnivore Diet had been a life changer for me.

I just celebrated my one year carniversary, 60 year old female, started at 215 pounds on a 5.3 tall body. So miserable and lifeless, just trying to get through each day with all the extra weight and looming health issues. A year later, have been steady at 145, feel like I am 40 again, I love meat and I actually crave steak and eggs. We raise our own chickens so the eggs are fresh. I don't think about food the way I used to that is for certain. I used to live to eat, now I eat to live. And down to one medication, hoping to be off it soon!

I'm 250 pounds , I got cancer in 2020 and I've been in horrible depression since. I have horrible belly pains that no one has been able to help me with. I even had exploratory surgery with no help. I found you on YT, and it's February of 2024 and I am going to try this and see if it can help me. Thank you for putting it on here for people to find. I hope it helps.

149 days carnivore … 304lbs to 264lbs , A1C 5.1 , BP normal , lower bowel issues gone the list goes on ..however the best of all SOBER !!!

My Why was powerful. I wanted to heal skin cancer and prevent reoccurrance. 2.5 years carnivore. So far so good. 😊

Thank you for this. My wife and I started today on the carnivore diet. We live in Henderson Tn not far from you and my wife is from Camden. I’m 52 and she is 51. We cut out meat over a year ago and have had nothing but weight and inflammation issues ever since. I’m battling gout right now. We are ready for a change. We accept the 90 day challenge and started today with wild Turkey for breakfast and ribeye for supper.

God and you Dr Ken, are responsible for me being successful on the carnivore diet for 15 1/2 months. No pain, off all medications for Lupus, arthritis, inflammation. I am in my 77th year of life and love being healthy. God bless you and your family.

My husband and I started keto/ketovore a year ago on Jan. 1, 2023. My husband has lost almost 100 pounds and I have lost 38. We both have more energy, better mental clarity and few aches and pains in our 60's and 70's.

Here is my healing updated list. To those new to carnivore- Carnivore diet cured so much for me! I update this list as time passes so it is always up to date, newest items at bottom of list. I have been zero carb carnivore for 11 and 1/2 months. * No more perimenopause- completely reversed! *Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself! *No more night sweats *No more waking every 2 hours at night! *It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast! *No more life long eczema *No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea) *No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm *No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more brain fog *No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows *used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more! *Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight. *Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing! *Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well. *Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 46 and look like I am in early 30’s. *Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me. *No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach! *Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup! *no cravings unless they are for meat *no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago. *No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around. * no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller. *feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 40 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that. *Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights. * no more body odor! * I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much. *I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that. * I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things. *Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing! *no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing! * I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too! *Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before. *Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides! *I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone! *I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore. *My teeth look more white on carnivore. *My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome! *i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone. * at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 11 months. *the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry! (Newest update added!) *when laying still in bed to fall asleep at times I would feel dizzy or feel like I was falling through the mattress a bit. I would be laying still and get that suddenly. Felt weird and made it hard to fall asleep. Never diagnosed with vertigo, but it may have been that. I no longer have that since I have been carnivore, which is nice! *little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance! *always had a little numb feeling on top inner corners of big toes. Never diagnosed. Now 1 year in I realized it is almost completely healed. I can feel the nerves in my skin. If I think of anything else will add. ☺️👍🏻 I know when people go on carnivore they are trying to heal something, but if they aren’t like me and notice small things- they may not notice they are healing way more than they realized- things plant foods were causing! And they need to remember, processed foods are made from plants- but so are whole foods (raw or cooked!) they are all toxic! The carnivore diet cures! ☺️👌🏻 The body is a network made of multiple gears- and if one gets messed up it causes a whole domino affect of problems like I had! The carnivore lifestyle is not a fad, it’s the ancestral human way of eating! Go Carnivore for a few months and see how you feel! ☺️👍🏻

I've been on the full carnivore diet for 7 months. In my experience, everything Dr Berry has said is true! I've lost 33 pounds, my labs and vitals are those of a very healthy 20 year old. I'm 66. I feel great! Inflammation/spondylosis in my lower back is gone. This is the PHD!

I’m 69, started Carnivore/Keto at the end of March ‘23. I have lost 60 lbs to date (Oct ‘23). It’s the most effective form of eating I have ever done. Feel great, feel like a young man again!

Started Carnivore January with weight 287, today March 27 my weight 252😊 definitely less pain , more energy

After my 90 days, 3 years ago, I had an awakening. My mind was clear, my weight was down, my back pain was eliminated, skin cleared up, cysts in my breast shrunk, and I had a pituitary tumor that shrunk. Many many benefits. Thank you for this updated beginners guide.

8 years a vegetarian. Started the carnivore diet a week ago because of painful chronic inflammation for the past 1 1/2 years. Can now walk without pain. Working through the digestive issues & skin breakouts…committed to 3 months. Thanks doc.

Newbie here. I'm 65 and suffer from Inflammation and pain. I am ready to start the 90 day challenge. I was brainwashed also to thinking I need to eat grains and fruits with less meat. I'm sick of hurting and ready for a change. Thank you for sharing this information 🙏

I have tried Keto and Carnivore for a few years and never lost a pound. I said I would never do it again but listening to Jason Fung showed me what has been going on. I take 200 units of a condensed Humalog insulin and it makes my glucose worse every time they increase the units. It causes me to gain weight and makes my glucose worse. I now am getting readings in the 500’s but won’t call my Endocrinologist because they will just increase my insulin again. I can not even walk anymore and I never could convince them I was eating low carb. I have felt so hopeless.He mentioned you can not treat Hyperinsulinemia with insulin. It is like treating an alcoholic with alcohol. My husband agreed to eat my freezer full of Nutri System meals so I can try Carnivore again. I started yesterday, and after watching this video, I commit to 90 days. I will be patient this time and won’t be afraid of fat.

Dr.Berry is speaking the truth. At first I too was skeptical, but decided to give it 2 weeks trial. I’m now 6 months into it and lost 50 pounds so far. No joke. Prior to 03/2023 I weighed 196 pounds, I now weigh 147 pounds and have easily maintain this weight for several months now. I have lots of energy and no longer have joint pains. Carnivore diet is very simple and easy routine to follow. I’m not a doctor or nutritionist, just wanted to also share my own personal experience for those who are in skeptical, like I was initially.

I have stage 4 breast cancer . That’s my why !

Im so glad you said that tea and coffee was okay to have. I dont think I can live without them

I commit to 90 days -it’s starting on April 21 2024 - I’ve been keto before this and this will take my health to next level❤

I'm in New Zealand. I lost 22kgs in 5 months. No more gout and my joints feel amazing. Life changing!!

I started carnivore diet 3 weeks ago. 2 weeks low carb and 3rd week full carnivore. My knees and back have stopped hurting and I am beginning to feel much better. My greatest plus, I have COPD pretty bad, 5 days after going full carnivore, my lungs are beginning to heal up. And it's really a noticeable difference. I am amazed at the difference. Thank you Dr Berry for telling us what my Primary refuses to tell us.

6 months later I’m still on carnivore diet….absolutely love it! I’m not concerned about the weight loss anymore because the way my body feels is much more than the weight loss. Blood pressure down,inflammation gone, gut issues gone.

I have been doing a carnivore/keto diet for about 4 months and I do not cheat one bit. However, these past few weeks I’ve been getting into the habit of drinking a can of diet soda everyday and recently I have been having atrocious sugar cravings. I almost caved in and ate some honey buns but I couldn’t imagine destroying the 4 months of dedication I’ve put into this new lifestyle change, so I was able to escape the urge. I say all this to say, stay away from artificial sweeteners 🤦‍♀️ I was feeling/doing my best when I stayed away from sweeteners and artificial sweeteners. I could look at cake and not think twice about eating it. But now, since I’ve introduced diet soda, I can feel myself itch for a sweet. Not good 🤦‍♀️ craving is misery

My favourite 'non-scale victory' on Carnivore is that I no longer think about about food all day every day, as I did in the past, even when on Keto. Such a feeling of freedom!

Thank you Dr Berry!!!! I’m down nearly 40 pounds and have completely reversed my type 2 diabetes!!!!

That helped so much, thank you! I just started one week ago 11-13-23. I'm down 8lbs already. I'm almost 65 and 5'6" started at 216 lbs, my goal is to get down to 145/150 lbs. I'm Geared up for this 90 day journey!

Started carnivore diet in June at 304 lbs which is very heavy for a female. I did really well for 10 weeks. Scale started moving really well and clothes fit so much better. Then I hit a huge roadblock in August. Severe gallbladder issues. I had gallbladder issues before, so the carnivore diet didn't cause them. The gallbladder issues with my IBS became too much for me so at the end of August I had to stop. And before anyone says I should have toughed it out I am talking SEVERE issues. Diarrhea was 30 or 40 times per day. (with medication ) I became dehydrated with very low electrolytes. Now this is not a warning for anyone. I restarted in October after giving my gut some rest. I only regained a few lbs, but I also watched my processed foods during my break. I eased back into it this time and gave my body time to adjust. My gallbladder needed to get woke up after years of low fat, high carb eating. If anyone is struggling with getting started, don't quit. Reset and begin again. I should mention that many of the health benefits I gained such as less joint pain, lower blood sugar, lower BP, all stayed even during my break. This diet has lasting benefits. Doing my job is so much easier because of the improved joint pain, inflammation, and edema. ( I am a nurse and walk about 5 miles per shift. )

My why was an A1C of 12.6. Slowly cut carbs and followed your advice on the proper human diet. 9 months later my A1C is now 5.5. Thanks Dr Berry for helping me reverse my Type 2 Diabetes. My Dr is amazed. She said I'd always be diabetic and had to take Metformin. I proved her wrong, I never took one of those Metformin pills and reversed my Diabetes. 👍

I’ve been doing this for 5-6 weeks. I’m down nearly 30 Lbs. Knee pains nearly diminished. Feeling a little more energetic. I’m a truck driver and so I’m not consuming too much. Snacking on ribeye strips, water not soda. Electrolytes. Yeah.

I'm 380 and was very active when I was younger. Now at 36 I'm not nearly as active and being overweight doesn't help.. constant joint pain and stiffness. I just started carnivore last week and can already feel the difference with joint pain and quality of sleep. I hope to reverse all the diabetes and weight problems so I can be my self again!

Last summer i did intermittent fasting keto Only eating any meat / fish , salad and non starch veg. 3 weeks in, I went from walking with a cane, low back and knees pain. To no cane, walking quickly, going up and down stairs easily, glowing skin, tons of energy!! Literally a miracle!! I did alot of research on intermittent fasting, after 16 hours not eating counting sleep time, your body produces stem cells, which heals your body, the inflammation went away from not eating sugar and any wheat or starch. I went back into old eating habits loving bread and pasta being italian, and eating sugar. Im back to square 1 !! Knees pain, low back pain, lower energy, difficulty walking up n down stairs. So back at it started today. I know for a fact it works

carnivore for 6 months. lost 1-2 pounds a week. um... still had a glass of wine a night. STILL SAW RESULTS. I shouldn't have alcohol, but at least I'm trying to follow it. I love what carnivore has done for me. I feel much better. no pre-diabetes. joints lubed by the fat consumption. more mellow with my outlook. eyes not dry. so much more. I literally could feel the visceral fat reduce.

10 years with Crohn's Disease. First 7 spent listening to "professionals". Next 3 spent going through diet change after diet change trying to heal myself after realizing these "doctors" are simply drug dealers. I am carnivore for 3 weeks now (as best I can) still figuring out how to deal with this when I'm out running errands, or on vacation. It's tough. BUT.....this is the first diet change I've tried where I had almost immediate changes!!! Mostly my gut inflammation went almost completely away in FUCKIN DAYS!!!!!!!! And I'm not perfect as I'm still figuring it out. I'm excited to see how I may feel when I figure out this lifestyle. Dr Berry is among others a God damned hero helping to put a stop to endless unnecessary suffering. I've been chopped up and tried every pharmaceutical on the market.....they're BULLSHIT. Eat a proper human diet. Full stop!

Been carnivore for over 3 years and my health has improved greatly. I've always heard the phrase " meat heals" and feel like have seen it recently. I broke my left tibia at the ankle in an accident and was put in a walking boot for an estimated 6 to 8 weeks, at my 4 week Drs appointment I was deemed healed enough to go to a lace up ankle brace and was told to do what ever I could do. At 5 weeks I was working back into playing golf, MEAT HEALS 😁

Love this guy. No flannel, no fluff. Just simple, clear instructions. I'm going to try carnivore, for many reasons.

I started the 90 day BBBE challenge on 1st January 2022 and I am still mainly carnivore and I have so much energy and even do kettlebells and Body Pump at my local gym!! I am a 74 year old woman with osteoarthritis too!!

I am not 100% carnivore. I drink coffee and use spices. In 5 months, I have gained 15 pounds of muscle. Friends and family say I'm looking good. I am down to 29 inches from 32 in my jeans size

My "Why" is to reverse my Type 2 diabetes and make my microbiome healthy. I want no inflammation, no unhealthy liver or gut problems. I am older and I want to be healthy. I have had great success with this carnivore diet...my weight loss is over 100 pounds and I am at the weight I had in high school. NOW, I want to stay healthy and live longer. Thanks, Dr. Berry...you saved my life.

It definitely works. I lost 20 lbs in 3 months, cleared up the psoriasis around my nose. I feel like I’m not in such a brain fog.

I've been strict carnivore for almost 6 months and I went from 288lbs to 211lbs this morning. I'm more comfortable in myself at this point and feeling better.

I have been carnivore for 1 month now. I lost 11.4 pounds in that first month. My skin is clear; I used to suffer from hormonal acne. My energy levels are amazing! My gums have stopped bleeding when I brush my teeth. My joints are not stiff and sore; I am regaining flexibility that I lost. I am sleeping more sound. My fatigue is gone. I no longer want to cry when my alarm goes off in the morning. I no longer feel like I desperately need an afternoon nap. I have stopped napping altogether.

Thanks so much Ken. This stuff has changed my life. I can't believe it was always this simple

thats awesome so happy for you! wishing you continued sucess on the carnivore diet, good health and happiness 😊 Dr Berry is such a blessing ❤

My progression to carnivore started years ago when I was 275 pounds and decided to stop drinking sugary drinks. I lost 25 pounds in a month. That led me to stop eating sweets or adding sugar to stuff. I lost another 25 pounds. I plateaud for a while until I remembered that carbs were sugar, so I did dirty keto and lost another 25 pounds. I regained 15 because I couldn't break the carb addiction using artificial, zero carb sweeteners. Turn out, I need to abstain because I can't moderate. Now I've been strict carnivore for a week and lost 10 pounds. Can't wait to break my sweet tooth and never go back.

I started this on June 1st. I'm 57 and 5'11" and had spent the majority of my career sitting behind a computer which led to me hovering around 220lbs most of my adult life. Due to a layoff and other circumstances, I began driving a semi truck in 2017 thru fall of 2021. Those four years added sixty pounds to my already overweight frame. Last year my father died and I've been stuck in a hotel dealing with his estate since - the combination of which led me to eating a bunch of garbage (chips, cookies, microwave meals, etc). I never weighed myself, but I'm quite sure I was pushing 300lbs by May of this year. I had bought some t-shirts in March that were 3x and after getting home felt awful realizing I probably should've gotten 4x as they were tight. Again, June 1st I went 100% carnivore. I leaned on pork rinds more than I probably should've and ate those, hard boiled eggs or Braunshweiger as 'snacks' (I see your video here says no snacks, so I failed on that). I had bought some Harley T-Shirts back in January that were 3x - when I got home I realized I should've gotten 4x as they were horribly tight. So, I was amazed that after about 60 days into Carnivore, 100% other than snacks as mentioned I was down a full pant size. To be clear, I was really probably down 2-3 pant sizes as the pant size I started with was very tight and I hung over the belt line pretty terribly. I went to a concert two weeks ago and had to buy a nice shirt, slacks and a sport coat to attend. I had travelled a few states over to the friends house who started me on carnivore. He and his wife were thrilled to see my progress. We went to the store and I automatically headed to the big-and-tall section when my friend stopped me and said I'd probably fit in a 2x shirt. I laughed it off, but went ahead into the dressing room with a 2x shirt. I was shocked to find that it fit comfortably with no worry about wearing a t-shirt underneath it. I was flabbergasted!! Some of the things I've noticed in the last few weeks: 1) I don't even care about the carb loaded crap I used to love. I look at the things I used to be drawn to and it doesn't even whet anything in my appetite at all. It's nothing to just keep walking down those aisles at the store. 2) I had severe allergies the last 15 years. I would wake up every two hours because my sinuses were clogged and my mouth would dry out as a result. Now, I still suffer a bit from allergies - but NOTHING like I used to. I can sleep through the night now!! That is HUGE!! I'm down to having sniffles, sneezing a bit and blowing my nose 3-4 times a day during this season change. UNBELIEVABLE!!! 3) I just noticed I can bend over and tie my shoes without holding my breath first! 4) I can wrap a hotel towel around my waist and it doesn't fall down! 5) I don't have to pull my pants up every 4-5 steps like I used to, I don't have to pull them up at all!! 6) Many aches and pains I associated with getting older have disappeared or have been significantly reduced. I still have a long way to go to get to my ideal weight, but I know following this Carnivore diet is going to get me there!! I have watched a number of your videos over these last few months and I appreciate all the information you are providing to us newbies!! It's very hard to break the societal norms of what is considered 'healthy food' and your channel is one of the ones that I relied on to help me unlearn what I had spent an entire lifetime learning. My buddy and his wife started just over a year ago and are huge fans of yours as well. We just got our boss to start Carnivore today - we saw him last weekend and seeing really is believing (when he saw us and did a bunch of double-takes)!!

I started high fat carnivore to heal my Hashimoto's. 2 days after stopping gluten my alkalosis reversed from Hashimoto's. I've lost weight and have so much less pain. Hoping to completely get off thyroid medication eventually. I will eat this way the rest of my life.

Thank you for all your great content! My fiance & I have been carnivore for 2 years now, & there’s no looking back! Your content has always been such a huge support & encouragement, & we’ve learned so much from you!

I tried carnivore two years ago and hated that I couldn't eat vegetables. Now my body simply cannot tolerate all but carrots and cauliflower, so I'm thinking that it's time to go carnivore "for real" this time. Every reason you listed---hypertension, inflammation everywhere, pain, fatty liver, etc.---I've been experiencing for far too long, and I'm tired of it. I'm going to have to do this because even though I'm only 70, I'm "too old" for this crap anymore.

Thank you, Dr. Berry! This helped me a lot. I started the carnivore diet 3 months ago and after suffering for 21 years from Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis, I almost instantly turned symptom-free. I am now 33 years old and I feel energetic and free for the first time since my childhood!

I am a member of your group. But I always catch you here late at night. Joined your phd group as a way to say thank you. THANK YOU!

Update: Dr Ken Berry changed my life! I've learned so much with his valuable & helpful information to better my health. I started this journey September 1, 2023 with cutting out all carbs and sugars. I found that cutting carbs wasn't as difficult as the sugar. I'm a sugar addict for sure. Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to take labs until 21 days in and my lab results at that time was an A1C of 8.0. I just took my labs exactly 3 months to the day Dec 21 and my current A1C is 5.5 today! BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER! THANK YOU DR BERRY. My fasting glucose also dropped from 114 to108. I will never go back to SAD! PHD is the way people. You can do it!

I started on May 4 this year. 67 year old female 5’2” 158 lbs. I’m now at 139 lbs. and still going! Inflammation and allergies are just about gone. This is so easy to do and I’m going to keep it up!

Took 10 days to become pain free from years of pain. If you are filled with joint pain, relief is close. For me, 10 days, miracle folks. I used to weigh 211, now 163

This way of eating saved my life. Im off all 3 B.P. meds and a1c is 4.6 plus I lost 35lbs Its AMAZING!!!

Starting tomorrow for my health! Not overweight but I have aches and pains from peri menopause and would love clearer skin! Thank you for this!!

Dr. Ken, love you buddy, I’ve been carnivore for one year, very strict, I eat beef, fat, farm, fresh eggs, never pasteurized, a couple of different hard cheeses. Occasionally, the first few weeks I would have sugar attacks once a week I would sit down with a pile of ice cream, and then it would be over with, after about four weeks I no longer craved sweets, and had absolutely none, I had severe gout in my toes, wrist and even my neck, the doctors gave me pills for a couple years, never changed anything, five weeks after carnivore I never had an attack again, not one, to this day I don’t even have any discomfort it is 100% gone, I learned a lot of how to eat carnivore from you, sir - thanks!!!!!!!! Also, I eat very little cheese, I eat a lot of Irish butter. Also, beef, tallow, I get all my beef from a local butcher, and he throws in straight beef fat from cuttings. I like to eat and munch on sometimes, I am eating 50% fat 50% meat, I don’t like chicken or fish. I pretty much just stay to beef fat and a lot of farm fresh eggs. Absolutely not pasteurized from a local farmer also - thanks so much brother you save my life!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Doctor Berry. 4 months tomorrow and have never been better. Gastric issues gone. Lost 30 pound. Blood pressure normal. 8:18

Ty as always for speaking truth, Dr. Berry. Nice little picture shout out to Kelly Hogan up front.

Thank you for all this information I will continue to do my carnivore eating the right way.. helping my cancer I believe this is helping me...Thank you!

I had c*vid-induced parosmia for nearly 20 months before I started Carnivore. Within 30 days of beginning my carnivore diet, my entire sense of smell was back, properly! I never would have believed it was possible if it hadn't happened to me!

I'm on day 18 of ketovore, I got told today that it is not sustainable, I didn't say anything, but I thought if my why is big enough it will be, I look at Kelly Hogan, her why was powerful and she has stuck to it. Thank you Dr. Ken ❤

My gp actually recommended carnivore! Thankful for him and you Doc

Today is day 4 of my Carnivore diet and so far so good! Already have notice a positive difference in my sleep, energy and lack of bloating!

Carnivore changed my life 🎉 I developed an autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s) and as a result of not finding a dr to help me manage it properly I ended up with gastritis, ulcers, painful inflammation and joint pain, became severely obese, brain fog was awful, nafld, hormones out of balance, out of control anxiety and depression, skin rashes, vitamin & mineral deficiencies. I tried carnivore after no other diets helped. Within 9 days I noticed significant changes and they kept coming. My lifetime migraines and insomnia resolved and haven’t had one in 15 months and all other issues I mentioned resolved as well. This diet has restored my mental health and I have energy again. I’ve lost all the weight too. It’s saved me so much time in the kitchen and less complicated grocery store trips. And it’s cheaper than people think!

I'm into my 14th month! I love it, and wish I'd known about CARNIVORE 20+ YEARS AGO!!

Your skin now versus your earlier videos....WOW. Recently discovered your channel and was watching some of your videos from 4 years ago, incredible transformation.

Started at 264lbs twenty-two days ago. Weighed in at 242lbs yesterday. Joint pains have gone away, fat is going away rapidly, sleeping better (deeper sleep and need less), and have more energy overall. At 23, this is a good plan to help me make the change that Ive been needing.

Thank you. I was just getting a pizza for tonight’s game when your video posted. Stopped my unhealthy choice right away

I did keto from 7-19-22 to 8-1-23. Started Carnivore 8-2-23 until present. There are no plans to return. Over 110 lbs lost now. I'm under 25 lbs to go to get to a surgical place for spinal fusion. Dr. Berry's information is changing people's lives. I wish more people would actually listen to what he is saying. Thank you Dr Berry.

Thank you very much. Am thinking of making the leap to a carnivore diet. This is all new to me and the information is very appreciate.

Dr Berry is the first one who is offering knowledge and help without trying to sell you anything. That in itself says a lot. My wife suffers from chronic inflammation and at 72, she is ready to give this a go.

This is by far the most amazing life changing experience!! I am 54 years old, 5'2", and now weigh 165 pounds!! Before plunging into carnivore, I was reaching 195 pounds. I cannot even express how much better i feel. From head to toe!! literally!! Not only did I lose weight but, the inches on my back, arms, hips and thighs. The amount of energy I have now, is outstanding! I could go on and on how happy I feel. I am so grateful for your videos. Thank you for all that you do. PS... love watching your wife's videos/recipes as well.

I am 71 years old and now into my sixth week. My weight has dropped from 88.9kg to 79.5kg. My blood pressure readings have normalised. My weekly shop is less expensive than before. Typical weekly shop: 3 tins sardines, lambs liver, chicken thighs/legs, ground beef 20% fat, 18 eggs, bacon, 1Kg chuck steak, onion, garlic, ginger. For those who hate the taste of liver. I add a spoon of curry paste. Very tasty. I was buying ribeye for the first couple of weeks but changed to chuck as its cheaper and just as fatty.

I'm just reaserching and still have not started this carnivore diet but excited at the same time. Thank you and appreciate for all your efforts to broadcast this out. 🙏🏽 Ready to start start this soon. ❤

Well, this is literally the best advice I have found so far! I am very thankful to have seen it. Limited, concise, well laid out, and very good info. You have answered questions I didn’t know needed asking. Been looking for info on getting started for a while. This has made my mind up and I know I can do this! Thank you! Oh, on one of the other thousand “getting started” vids they suggested keeping a journal and that is a really good idea for me, morbidly obese, massive inflammation, edemas, lethargy, shortness of breath (I could keep going but won’t, you’re welcome). I’m actually excited-yet-skeptical! Will journal the progress.

Lost 36 lbs, 4 inches in my waist & best of all my triglycerides went down from 447 to 152 from mid- February to late August! Thank you Doc!!!

I just found you on RU-vid yesterday! My why is to have a better quality of life. I want to sit in a chair, get in a kayak, zipline and many other things I used to do without the worry I will exceed the weight limit,😔

One thing that made it much easier for me to get into the diet was cutting sugar first, and eating salty carbs like potato chips and noodles every time the cravings came up, as well as keeping myself well fed in general for about a week. After that my sugar cravings were lessened massively and getting fully onto carnivore was much easier.

Been carnivore/keto since 2020. Heres my why. Joint inflammation, vision was steadily getting worse. The first week was tough. I think my body was flushing all the toxins out that the meat protein was replacing. Dropped 15-20 pounds in the first 120 days. Dry eyes went away and vision has gotten better, inflammation was gone, less overheating overall in the summer. Less brain fog, and very little sugar cravings.

I encourage folks to get a nice notebook and a cool pen at the start of this personal experiment! Start by documenting your WHY? - be as specific as possible, include every motivator, concern, issue that you're looking to leverage and/or deal with by making this change. Keep track of how you're feeling each day - physically, psychologically. Anything and everything you notice. Include bio markers / blood work results (good to get a baseline set of labs!). Resist relying on your memory to help you appreciate how you're progressing. Draw pictures! Add inspirational learnings / quotes / people that you've encountered that support your decision. Keep the notebook handy! During 'tough' days, take time to pour a glass of water, sit down and reflect on your notes, this will usually work to reinvigorate your efforts!

I want to thank you so much for everything that you do to help educate people on the carnivore way of eating. I’ve been trying to educate myself for a while so I understand the ins and outs of it and the best way to start. A few months ago I started keto, then carnivore/keto, then carnivore and I felt great. But I let stress of life and work get to me and I stopped. I am starting again. I am going to join your group as I have a few issues I’d like to get suggestions on. I want to tell you I have listened to videos for hundreds of hours by all the big names in carnivore and I find you, hands down, the absolute best. You explain things so well with common sense. I don’t mean to sound like I’m saying anything against other doctors on RU-vid because I’m not, but I have trouble relating to others that show themselves living a lifestyle I will never be able to afford. I can relate to you and your wife, working and raising a family, I guess that just helps me relate to you and trust you. Thank you so much. You are helping so many of us live better lives.

Wow! Great short video for beginners! Thank you!🙏❤️

I need to loose weight, fight inflammation , diabetes and nodules on my thyroid. I also have hypothyroidism. I love your tips Dr Berry. I’m on my third week. I started as a ketovore first. Im adapted to carnivorous now.😊

Yes, carb withdrawals are a very real thing. Mine were horrible and lasted for two weeks. After a month, I felt so good I was amazed. Little did I know that the healing would continue for many months! Now, over three years later, I will never go back to carbs. I am not a wildly strict carnivore. I am very meat heavy ketovore. Experiment, and learn what your body likes and dislikes.

Thanks for all your great work and videos!

Best starter video I've seen yet. Nice one, Ken!

Lost 70 pounds thus year by cutting back on carbs and sugar got another 100 to go

Awesome video Dr. Berry! My husband and I are on day 104 of carnivore! He's lost 62 pounds, I'm down 30. His snoring is nearly gone, his voice is getting deeper (which makes me think his testosterone is going up), and he's got so much more energy. My skin is the clearest it's ever been, fine lines are diminishing (I also use tallow on my skin, so that probably helps), my periods are completely painless. We have so many non-scale wins, I could be here all day. My husband is 34 and I'll be 35 in December. We're so grateful we decided to give Carnivore a try! It's been life changing and life saving

I'm only in my 2nd day. But it so encouraging to read the comments! I couldn't possibly stick with any weight loss plan so that's my number 1 reason. The second is I'd love my eyesight to improve, get rid of PCOS and reverse fatty liver. I want to feel like I'm actually young and alive. I lost more than I could count because of my weight my whole life.

I’m 13days into carnivore , being very very strict this first 90 days , have really only ate tri-tip , bacon and eggs for 2 weeks , and I did this strictly to improve my stomach/gut health., and it’s like a miracle diet , all those years going to the medical doctors was a waste of time , just made my gastrointestinal problems 60% better almost immediately from this diet ….TMI-… the shits are insane , the people are right

I've decided to give this diet a try a few days ago. Currently I'm easing into it by quitting alcohol and eating up food I have left. Also, trying to do research before diving headfirst. Quitting alcohol, losing weight, and improving my gut and other possible health benefits are the reason why I've decided to do this.

This is so easy no counting. Just eat! Sometimes you are not hungry. Not craving is the BEST!!!!

InI have been suffering with back pain, gout, arthritis and about a year ago develop digestive problems including diarohea and constipation. I have stopped refine sugar and bread ,but still take rice and plant fruit foods for almost 2 yrs now with no improvement. I believe with the Çarnivore diet might be an answer to my painful condition. I will definitely try it out for 30 -90 days. Thank you Dr. Berry for such a wonderful information. Keep up your good work as Doctors aren't knowledgeable and cost most of us so much money on every visit in search of a better health over the years.

I am going to try this, I have been in so much pain since 2010 due to Fibromyalgia and Vascular Disease, I am hoping to rid my body of inflammation and hopefully enjoy some pain free years. Watching your videos will hopefully point me in the right direction as to what I need to do.

Thank you for sharing you knowledge and story. I started carnivore a week ago because I need to lose alot of weight. In the week since I started, I'm down 17 pounds, 525lbs to 508lbs. I also started in the hopes that my sleep apnea will dissipate, boost my energy and improve my mental health
