Shawn Baker, M.D., is a surgeon, athlete, and advocate of zero-carb eating. He was a power lifter, played rugby, and competed in the Highland Games earlier in life, and now at the age of 50, he holds world records in indoor rowing.
My Dad used to tell me stories of growing up during the depression and through the war before he joined the Merchant Navy. With 10 kids in the family, they ate what they could get their hands on. My Dad actually hunted with a sling shot before the family got a .22 rifle. Fish made up a large part of the diet in the days before limits and where you could simply trap, spear or catch fish anyway you wanted. Everything was organic of course and they ate a lot of fat because lard and butter were both very cheap back then. All the kids made it out of childhood at a normal weight and perfectly healthy. Later on as most of them migrated to the city and started on a typical North American diet they all succumbed to cancer, heart disease, diabetes and more. Only my Dad lived well into his 80's by working on his diet and learning to listen to his body and manage his own healthcare. Diet is everything.
That's a nice anecdote and I believe you, except there's over seven billion people on this planet today and that number is rapidly increasing. People can't eat like you used to when everything was "organic" and abundant. We need the nut to butt factory farms and growth hormones and antibiotics. That's the only reason there's enough animals to go around for everyone. This is another designer diet, another fad, it'll blow away in the wind just like every other freaking diet, ever.
@@fifteenbyfive I'm not real concerned about what everyone else eats. People are brainwashed by the government, media, corporate interests etc and grains and sugar aren't going anywhere as a result. I'm only concerned about my own health.
@@johnnypenso9574 People are brainwashed by a lot of things, like Republicans and Democrats making them think there's a drip of difference between them. Moronic voters who can't do arithmetic, read the Constitution or count the money being spent by these two clown parties shouldn't be deciding what to eat, I agree.
I just never realized how awful health media is. I used to read articles and try to apply what I learned. I am now 70 years old. Until one year ago, I tried to do as I was told and I generally trusted the institutions that were there looking out for us. Man, was I naive. Nobody is going to dictate to me what I eat. I got lean and healthy on LCHF. I stay away from certain foods now because of the adverse effects I get from them. Now I know that I am an obligate carnivore and fixing my leaky gut and dealing with my auto-immune issues. I thank my God for people like you and the internet. I am devoted to the cause and tell everyone I meet.
@@xanh350 Do your own study. That is the point of the new citizen scientist. Don't let the fear mongering keep you away from a diet that could radically change your life for the good.
@@GrandK1000 But this is so wrong in so many levels, you can't do your own study man, you lack the set of expertise in the field of study itself, you may think that you are qualified, but you're not a scientist, you just can't do that, there are many people who studied years and years in a specific field and still aren't scientists in that field or don't possess enough knowledge to do their own study man. The problem with this era is that the internet makes people think that they can conduct their own research on anything, then mongoloids and retards start to come up with the stupidest ideas and they then become delusional and think that they are doing actual science and research, e.g. look at flat earthers, the most retarded people in the world, each one of them think they're scientists, when they actually lack all the expertise and they don't even know what they're talking about. I disgree, you can't be your own scientist man, it's not how things work, this will only create chaos and then the delusional person will think that he is qualified then he creates his own channel on youtube and start spreading false information and lies, simple as that, actually this is a problem that we need to resolve faster than later because there are many, and I mean MANY gullible people on the internet who lack the clarity or intelligent who would be pulled to such lies because they are very gullible and stupid, it is a big problem.
a classic case of projection. You are obsessed with flat-earthers harming themselves. Do you really think that somehow you can control what people choose to eat? If so, I suggest you turn your attention toward the vegans. Believe me, if I felt my diet was causing any harm I would change it. So why don't you go off and explore the universe?
I started a zero carb diet in May 2007, am still eating this way, but had never heard the word "carnivore" as it relates to diet. I used to tell my family and friends that I was a carnivore, not knowing that it would be so popular one day. I thought that was funny. I lost 52 lbs. in the first 5 months and never get sick. I'll be 61 this month of June 2019.
That it just marvellous, can you tell me what you ate to achieve that. Also did you drink anything other than water during that time. I really am very interested, I'm 67
It was some combination of Dr Ede and Amber that got me to go carnivore in the first place, before either Dr. Baker or Mikhaila were "on the scene". Dr. Ede can be the Carnivore Queen Mum. :)
Thank you for all your info. I was almost a 100% vegan, lost my hair, weak nails, bad veins etc etc. I added meat and eggs 6 months ago and feel much better. My numbers are off the chart great (trigs 41, BP 106/70) I totally agree everyone's ancestors ate very differently, Inuit vs people of the Caribbean!
Invaluable information. As a dietitian and RA sufferer you can well imagine how I had to open my mind. I've come to the conclusion that if a "diet" works for someone, I stay out of their way.
For myself one of the benefits I noticed is from the reduction in sugar that happens when you eat a predominately meat diet ....you feel better almost immediately
THAT SO True , very true, many benefits to my surprised ,I still could not belive, every morning when I get up ,I am waiting for my syptomoms to come back , I dit not fell like that even when I was young ,thank you for spreading the word,
ANY DIET THAT ELIMINATES CARBS, SUGARS AND JUNK FOOD will make you feel great and lose weight. But at some point, hormone balancing nutrient dense foods that you and your body loves and nourishes it will reign supreme!! And fasting of course...12 hrs feed and 12 hrs fast. The native protocol.
@@annkleinman3244 Not sure what you mean by "carbs". Legumes, potatoes, brown rice and corn are "carbs" and they are probably the healthiest things you can eat. And what is a native protocol? And what is hormone balancing?
Another great video, I wish I had attended. If there is one thing I have learned from Dr. Baker is that you have to take a step back from the studies and the lab tests and realize how little it is telling us.
Nutritional epidemiology should be met with the same level of skepticism as we should apply to televangelists. This excellent presentation here, provided by Dr. Shawn Baker , as well as those provided by Dr. David Diamond, Gary Taubes, and Nina Teichelz, on other platforms, makes that abundantly clear.
Epidemiology is an extremely valid tool when you manage to highlight very high correlations. If the change highlighted is low, it is recognized it is due to confounders and imprecise data. It needs to have a solid and consistent outlier in the data like the smoking / lung cancer epidemiology study.
@@Ilethsamael yes, and a very high correlation is 2.0 not 1.2. Every apologist brings up cigarette smoking but fails to mention the correlation is 15 to 20.
NINA TEICHELZ LOOK OLDER AND OLDER FROM VIDEO TO VIDEO ,VEGI MAYBR MAKE YOU SKINI ,BUT AFTER FRW YEARS YOUR WRINCKE COMING FESTER and after seeing from from doctors from plant base diet , how fast they wrinkleb,well i know I be old i mean I am old , but do not want to wrincle that fast ,my favorite is dr. MC .Dougall , even 5 years ago he was handom man , now he look like old goat ,and styl saying that pototoes heal everything
Wait a second. I think you mean the not so scientific process used by the vegan propaganda. I would not be listening to Shawn if he didn't believe in the scientific process
Sadly, science, like religion, has been hijacked by those who wish to use its power as a tool. This is why we must always 'follow the money' behind scientific research. Ideally, we will also look at the data, and not just the 'conclusions' of the authors of published research, since it is not unusual for the conclusions to fit the aims of those funding the research, but conflict with the data. Religious bias is not required to be revealed, but the 7th Day Adventists have been working to get people on all-plant diets for a long time. During the ten years she spent researching the book 'Big Fat Surprise', Nina Tiecholtz discovered that this bias is behind most, perhaps all, of the research done at Loma Linda University, which is a 7th Day Adventist institution. This religious group also works to get their members into influential position, including on the board that reviews and issues the US Dietary Recommendations. 7th Day Adventists believe that eating meat and other animal-source food causes 'impure thoughts' and 'general wickedness'. Yes- only YOU live in your body, and only you have to live with the consequences of your choice of what to eat. We should all keep this in mind when consulting physicians, too. For all their years of memorizing information, they do not know everything, and all the medical exams and tests in the world cannot replace the direct knowledge we each have about our own bodies.
For me the bigger benefit of carnivore base keto diet is mood. I wake up in the morning full of energy and love for life. I'm 50, training very hard every day, my joints are twenty again, my brain is sharp as hell, I'm more creative, more happy, this is the best thing that happens to me ever. And every vegan I know is a mental mess. They have physical energy but they are blue and they have a lot of judgment and drama in their lives. Sure humans can live on vegetables, or fruits, or nuts, or whatever. The human body is a survival perfected machine. But to live and function optimally is a different thing. Happy Carnivore For Life!!!!!!
Look at this rockstar he didn't prepare AT ALL and just rocked it lol. Everyone has been studying there presentations for weeks, and this stud comes in and drops the mic. He's gonna walk off stage, eat a ribeye and go fuck bitches like a boss! Dr. Shawn Baker is my spirit animal.
Brilliant, love the intro and agree deeply about aligning with small primary producers who are by and large the closest thing we have to sustainable best practices for soil and habitat regeneration.
I'm age 66 and I am in the process of starting the Carnivore diet after being on Keto for over 3 months..... the reason is digestive related and I've been wondering for a while now if vegetables were actually beneficial for my body.... I am already at my preferred weight (I lost 25 lbs on Keto) and do not want to lose more weight..... I'm already OMAD and enjoy the fasting process..... my concern is losing too much weight..... Mostly, I want to thank you for sharing your journey with me so I can learn how best to proceed.... it is extremely helpful to hear from people who have been doing carnivore for a period of time.... thanks again and please, please, please keep sharing................. Much love and appreciation!! ;-)
Well, MY n=1 is certainly working. Keep fighting the good fight; those who listen will benefit. Fasting, Keto and Carnivory are the history of our species, and are likely to be our future.
Theres a reason why this clown had his medical license revoked. Baker has testosterone levels of an 8 year old girl (not kidding he posted his blood results).
Ugh. I used to support them, but after their shameful attacks on Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Maajid Nawaz, I wrote them a letter explaining why I wouldn’t give them any more money.
Decades ago, before all the air freight and cargo ships started to send all kinds of vegetables and fruits around the world to places where vegetables and fruits were seasonal and few, people were eating mostly meats and fish! I grew up that way! Whale meat, other meats and fish and birds!! All eaten with potatoes! There were no way anyone or anything could have survived eating only veggies and carbs!! Supplements was not known because our food was good and people were slim, healthy and lived long lives!! People started getting fat and sick after all the shit like sweet fruits, grains of all sorts, pizza, hot dogs and so on started to arrive !

@@JK-vc7ie we had vegetables in the 80s. Harry is referring to "all kinds of vegetables." I.e. there was no asparagus from Ecuador in December in my local supermarket when I was a kid. There were carrots, cabbage and potatoes though (native to my country.)
FunkyDunky What do you think carrots, cabbage and potatoes are? What about rice and beans? That’s the recipe for a tremendously healthy diet. Whoever is telling you that you must eat jackfruit or some other exotic and expensive fruit or vegetable has lied to you.
My dad never believed in any special diet, he used to be overweight, then started eating less amount of food. He now insists that no foods are good or bad, it's about the amount of what you eat, in balance. He also has always been an active runner.
Answering to your question, (7.22), I started my carnivore diet after watching your interview on Health Theory, Tom Bilyeu's channel. It changed my life for better and forever!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!
I have been keto for 4 years. January 2 I started the carivore diet. It has been a little adjustment but so far I have felt and seen changes for the better.
Imagine being a vegan.. Now imagine living out in the wild looking for 20 pieces of fruit and veg to sustain you for 365 days a year... Not happening.. 😂
There's no long-term data? yet there's an enormous list of cardiologist that are aging gracefully well into 100 who have been helping patients for half of a century treat and even reverse the leading causes of death and guess what they didn't lose their medical license doing so.
First 12 minutes were about how the nutritional studies are flawed. Although they make great sensation headlines. Last half was about an informal 90 day 100% meat diet.
I'm doing the carnivore diet. 6th day. I love beer. I am calling my plan the Beer and Beef diet. Sounds a little bit like a Viking diet. 7 pounds down.
Hello Amber. FY|...I shared Dr Mason's presentation with a Vegan RU-vidr who suspects she has SLE and for my concern all she did was point out that "CarnivoryCON" was a great name.
How come Hongkong people eat the most meat? There must be some error. Hong Kong cuisine includes a lot of rice, noodles, dimsum , and soup. Of course there are sea food and meat , but nothing more than the typical Asian diet. Mongolian traditional herders would be much bigger meat eaters. They don’t eat vegetables and grains traditionally, just imported some tea and salt from China.
I’m not a carnivore by I like Dr. Baker. Seems humble and has a great sense of humour. As an aside I really wish a different title was chosen for this video as Dr. Baker never said this in the clip (unless he’s said it elsewhere and I’m unaware of it?) The plural of anecdote is definitely not data 😂
Me from a guy I think his name is Jim ,,from video.... beating obesity ...., he lost his weighy on keto ,180 lbs,, and then he went carnivore, I notice his loose skin on his chen start to smuding up ,that was that, I need to find more carnivore ,thank you for spreding the news
Also the glycemic index is extremely flawed science the rise in blood sugar levels can change daily form the same food and differs from person to person hugely.
Paul Saladino noted Carnivore eats rice, honey and fruit. After all eating only meat is BORING and suited for true carnivores not for psuedo carnivores aka delusional humans.
@@rbdesign11 you should go to the Savanah or the woods and find yourself your rainbow of fruit and veg for 365 days a year .. call us when you starve cos they don't exist.
When it comes to bowel movements, it got much better after quitting all grains and most vegetables!! More meat and fermented veggies did the trick!!! Also some stubborn kilos just dropped off quickly!!!
Hello, I'm about to come off a 30-day water only fast and I would like to know how if possible can I break my fast eating meat. I have been a carnivore for about two months before but then I had to stop due to the fact that I couldn't get my hands on it, I felt great however which is why I'm going to resume eating that way. Any and all help you may be able to give me he is greatly appreciated.
Meat is good, but carnivore? I think the miniscule amounts of vitamin C in a carnivore diet makes collagen renewal harder and it seems several older carnivore people have this problem where their skin is not smooth and they seem to have these lumps and bumps. Well, the youngest looking people are omnivore, so there is also that. Coincidentally, 53 year old Chuando Tan, the youngest looking man for his age i have seen, eats a whole food omnivore diet: instagram.com/chuando_chuandoandfrey/?hl=nb Amazing genetics sure helps too!
Stephen Shuman I don’t know how you’re privy to Shawn’s medical records, but nothing could induce me to eat like Greger and end up like a vegan skeleton. Greger is the antithesis of manliness,
Most Americans get the majority of their saturated fat from pizza containing mozzarella cheese and to a lesser extent other fast foods containing American cheese. So when you hear someone say, "studies show meat eaters are less healthy", they're talking about people who eat more pizza, not people on a plant-free or even low-carb diet.
What? I have not eaten a pizza in over 2 years and I am american. Why do you feel that everyone eats pizza all the time. If that is what you do then say that.
@@john2914 - I said "Most Americans get the majority of their saturated fat from pizza..." There are many Americans that don't consume any saturated fat. I'm American and I hate Pizza. I don't eat the standard American diet. Do you consume cheese? Where do you get your saturated fat? So when you hear someone say, "studies show meat eaters are less healthy", they're talking about people who eat more pizza, not people on a plant-free or even low-carb diet.
@Wilson Anderson - there are very few studies on actual vegans but a recent study did show that a vegan diet is not any healthier than a diet of gorging on cookies, fast food, and soda. Vegans don't live any longer because they're more susceptible to heart disease and Alzheimer's than are people on the standard American diet. There are hundreds of studies showing that a low carb diet is best by far and that seed oils are extremely unhealthy. The vegan diet is being pushed by the pharmaceutical and processed food industries. Companies like Coca-Cola are major players.
@Wilson Anderson - actually, the Seventh-Day Adventists are part of the process food industry and to a lesser extent so is the Vegan Society. They came out with fortified soy milk right from the beginning. These are faith-based businesses. Dr. Tim Noakes from South Africa has written some books on low carb training. You may not need those two hundred grams of carbs. In fact there are some athletes who train in a fasted state all day. Clearly I'm not an expert on the subject but you should look into it.
@Wilson Anderson - I Googled your question and Google said "the breath molecules expelled by a person in ketosis will not turn a 0.00% blood alcohol content (BAC)into a 0.08%" You can always contest a breathalyzer result if you find you must drink and drive but drinking is not that conducive to good health or good driving. If you have no cravings at 200 grams 200 grams is fine. But for most of us I think that may be too much. And for me carbs were never a weight problem but they were and probably still are a health problem. Most people that go low carb keto and carnivore do it for the weight loss but they stay with it for years (10+ now) because of the completely unexpected health benefits, and the Zen as some people call it. Carbohydrates fit the definition of an addictive drug perfectly so cutting back is seldom the answer over the long term. When I went on a fresh milk diet over 13 years ago I was just testing it out for a coworker who had psoriasis. I had no idea all the health benefits I was going to see myself. Most of my issues I simply accepted as normal. Thank you so much, this is the closest thing to a conversation I have had on the internet so far. It doesn't help that I always talk like a know-it-all.
I hope there can be more scientific discussions to educate the public. The biggest issue is the public cannot understand what is in the literature, and its a huge hindrance which gives corrupt organizations such as the AMA, FDA, and other "authoritative bodies" the power to reapier the public with pseudo science, and worse special interests.
I've decided to do this as a temporary elimination diet baseline for a couple of months then slowly add vegetables and other things that I enjoy and is healthy and suits my body. Temporarily.....I dont feel this is sustainable long term. I could be wrong.
How do we get on the mailing list for the next conference. I live in Boulder and am so sorry I didn't hear about this conference! Amber, hats off to you!
apparently you need about 4 pounds of red meat in a day to get what we think is the right amount of potassium a day. Does anyone have a number on that? Supplements only provide 2 percent of supposed daily value. They are so low because apparently potassium is easy to get in your diet. Not if you only eat meat. Can anyone help with that?
Have you tried eating different meats? A short time ago, in the USA lamb/sheep, goat, duck (wild, domestic from mallardm, and muscovy- which is more like 'red meat' than poultry), goose (wild and domestic), goat (the most widely eaten meat in the world), rabbit (domestic and wild), and squirrel were all among the meats commonly eaten. You may want to try pasture/woodlot raised pork, too. When heritage breeds are raised this way with moderate amounts of grain, and a varied diet, the meat is NOT white, and is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. A few farms are producing pork with no grain, but swine are herbivores so grain does not cause the issues in them that it does in ruminants. Heritage breeds and crosses raised this way taste so different from the stuff sold in supermarkets that you have to experience it! We find 100% grassfed and grass FAT beef to also be much more satisfying and a lot tastier than beef from the supermarket, though the difference is less dramatic. Ditto for lamb, and chicken & turkey, as well as eggs. We used to do marinades and rubs and sauces... now we just cook the meat and use mined pre-pollution sea salt (Himalayan or Redmond from Utah). The flavor is so good in these meats that nothing else is really needed. Ask around at the farmers markets in your area. Do not accept that grassfed beef or lamb should be leaner than feedlot or grain finished!!! It takes more skill. It may take more time. It should cost a little more - but if you can buy a half or whole beef directly from the farmer, the cost is very reasonable, and the value is excellent. A whole beef will fit in full-sized freezer, and keep for years at around 0F. Non 'frost free' models never gave us 'freezer burn'. This is also an economical way to buy lamb and pasture/woodlot pork. Then, if you like, you can explore a few of the many meats that our ancestors ate just a few generations back. Keep in mind that farm-raised game meats, like deer and elk, may be fed grain throughout their lives. Explore...and have fun!
No offence but this guy just rambled on for half an hour and literally said NOTHING of importance. He might be a sexy Daddy, but his talk could have easily been skipped and we wouldn't be missing anything important. The only good thing about this was ESV as an abbreviation for End Stage Veganism.
Dr. Atkins was the first person to understamd the healthful effects of the meat based diet. If you did his diet, you started out carnivore while going into ketosis. Everyone else is just resting on his laurels. He's passed on and can't speak up.
5:00 there are 0 RCT on human nutrition 6:00 we don't know anything about the microbiome 9:00 Hong Kong : 1 pound meat/day : high life expectancy, high IQ
Lets not forget about the Lewis and Clark expedition that was fueled by red meat exclusively by two very good hunters.From Merriweather's records of pounds of meat eaten by the crew while they were dragging the boat upstream in the Missouri river ,the young men were consuming in excess of 9000 calories per day,as figured by dieticians.On the way back three years later they were making hundreds of miles per day almost non stop pulling on canoe oars coming back down the Missouri river.All fueled by deer,elk bison,they didn't like salmon but actually prefered dog.I doubt if olympic rowers could have kept up with that able bodied mentally ept bunch on the way back.Later, John Coulter in the Yellowstone had learned to not only survive at minus 40 degrees but travel as well.All fueled by red meat in the form of Buffalo and elk,the fatter,the better.The famous John Coulter in his early twenties would not come back ,requesting his pay saying that he would be "lonely in St Louis".Preferring sleeping under the stars and consuming all the red meat he could eat.
But thing is, ok we don't have the studies but er do have old people eating a 'normal' diet, not really allot of people who are old doing the carnivore diet.
If you want to help preserve your right to buy and eat meat - and the rights of independent farmers, ranchers, and families to raise meat and either sell it, or even feed it to their families, consider joining the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund as a consumer www.farmtoconsumer.org/about/ And/or the Farm to Consumer Foundation f2cfnd.org/who-we-are/#mission Among the most basic of human right is the right to produce food, prepare it, and buy it from whomever we choose. Property rights are among those specified in the US Constitution, and the right to do business with whoever we choose - yet these basic Rights are all under attack. In the meantime, support your local and regional farms and farming families! Seek them out and buy directly from them whenever possible. You will get better value for your dollar higher quality, and know that the farmer is getting a much better return than when they sell to the market.
I self identify as a Ketovore. 95/5 meat to LC. Seasonings, etc. True Carnivores, are more beef, salt, water. But, from merely looking at the various takes on those calling themselves a Carnivore. They do what works for them. How did our ancestors eat... depended on how hungry they got. I like garlic and onions, as seasoning. So, perhaps, I’m a 2nd degree carnivore. Your results may vary.
If for example for any chance that everybody in the world decides to become carnivore , the question is it sustainable? So if you analyze it well, a combi of plants and meat is more sustainable.
my only question to carnivores out there, only because I want to do it, what happened to your triglycerides, uric acid and cholesterol... please, I want to see results. thanks
I tried it for 5 weeks then tested my markers. Bad cholesterol was in the danger zone - had another blood test done at a second lab, same results. I quit the carnivore diet immediately. I'm not going to be the fit guy who has a heart attack. No criticism of the other people here, but it seems like an insane way to eat. What these meat promoters never do is discuss your question. Being lean is great, having a heart attack ain't.
The Blue Zone is the best evidence to me. Those are the healthiest people. Eat what they eat. Forget studies and lab experiments. The proof is right there. Real people.
SQUID62 Actually it’s literally the opposite of cherry picking data. It’s what you come to when you want to eliminate cherry picking. You throw out studies and go find the people that live the longest in aggregate. Straight up. Identify those people and do what they do. It’s hard to cherry pick death. “Healthiness” can be subjective. Death is a pretty hard measure.
( I re posted this from another vid Shawn did. I just want people to see this sham vegan video) Hi all. I love meat and am mostly KETO but I recently saw a Netflix propaganda anti meat movie called "Game Changer" . It's so much a scare tactic production but well produced and has plenty of stars giving non sourced facts and stories. If you watch this, please also watch this video on youtube that pretty much debunks the entire thing. @ Thanks, and have a great ribeye day
