Dr Joan Ifland: 10 WORST Carnivore Foods That Stop Weight Loss 

Recopied. (Sorry in advance for the longest comment ever 😊) I’m new at this (May 2023) for health and weight loss, and I’ve lost 23lb so far. But, I’m getting so many contradictions from the carnivore community and the many Dr’s. I am on carnivore and I do have moderate amounts of dairy and coffee. By it’s very nature the carnivore diet is restrictive and a hard core lesson in moderation. In my opinion, that is the basis of every good diet/lifestyle out there. I respect this drs opinion…… however, this seems a bit severe. Everything is not an addiction, her advice after all that she said, was to go online? ‘Put your earbuds in’ Huh? I also agree with all processed foods, and sugar, they’re poison. It’s Chemically processed foods that are the toxic triggers. And I understand that is by design. But calling milk ‘processed’ is a bit of a reach. It’s a 100% totally natural process. Babies drink it for survival. It is instinctive, not addiction. She advised us well on what not to eat, (everything) but what can we eat?? Why on earth would we possess taste buds, if not to enjoy what we eat? Eating is for survival obviously but, due to taste buds it should also be enjoyed and pleasant because our brain tell us so. But having a chunk of cheese with dinner does not make me an addict. It means I like a bit of cheese with dinner, lol! I’m more confused now, with all this advice than I was when I started out. Eat fat, don’t eat fat. Have dairy, don’t have dairy. Less protein, more protein! It’s dizzying. Overall, for me it’s about self-control. I consider all processed food to be invisible lol! I just keep walking, knowing that it will never be on the menu. And I accept that, and fully understand why. So far, that mindset has changed my life. (Ok rant is over 🫤) thanks for listening. Wheww! 😅

@@JamPenny22 feel free to disregard this interview. I hope Rena learns to filter her guests. Don't bring people in just for clicks. It ruins the integrity of the channel, especially when she lacks the skill to ask the right questions and challenge the crazy ideas presented to protect her viewers!

@@JamPenny22 Dr. Elizabeth Bright and Sally K. Norton are the two most clear and concise and PRACTICAL people in the carnivore community imnsho. Watch/listen to a few interviews with both and let them put your mind at ease/clear the muddied water. No worries. You got this!! 😊💪

@@wildmuscle9206 I will do that. Thank you 😊

@@JamPenny22 yeah.. wrong person to invite to a carnivore channel. Her guest the lady doctor, posted above after some of us started complaining about her views, and she wrote that she eats meat from time to time. She is not a carnivore, so she was the wrong person to have on this channel. She is entitled to her opinion though, but IMO she is too much OCD about everything and calls everything an addiction. I agree with the others - she is not the right person to listen to when you are starting carnivore. You will find out what (if some dairy) works for you and what doesn't. I recommend Parmigiano Reggiano for its K2 (which guides the calcium from your arteries to the bones) and its many other nutritional and health benefits. Wife and I always grate it on our burgers and it's delicious.

I agree with what you’re saying for experienced carnivores but for a newcomer what she was saying was confusing at best and contradictory at worst.

@@hollistandridge1117I get what your saying, but at the end of the day there is an expert to back up every theory. For every video that promotes carnivore, there is one that promotes the vegan lifestyle and so on. In my opinion the best thing to do is stay the path your on and see how you look and feel. Also a good idea to get some labs done if possible to see whats happening on the inside 😊

@@1320Lee I can agree with that. Her way is not my way for sure.

Lose the 'lab testing'. Go by how you feel and look. Because every individual's lab tests are completely different. Don't let the healthcare/medical industry dictate your numbers. That's not what they're there for. .. . .. ... . ... Or are they?????

@@peterboytRaKs I personally go to holistic doctors who use muscle response testing. But its not a bad idea to do a blood test before starting carnivore and then maybe 6 months to a year later just for peace of mind and get an idea of where you are at with certain #'s (simply comparing yourself to yourself). I actually found out through a blood test last year that I had high uric acid levels, I refused the prescription and then went to my natural doctor and got something for it. There are smart ways of going about it IMO, like I said "just my two cents" of course other people can do as they see fit for thier own health journey.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

Amen to that and judging from the other comments here few people appreciated her telling you that "the right human diet" is going to cause more addiction. That's BS. Shame on her, but she's selling her addiction program and her objective is to convince everyone of her story. It's called working the placebo effect. Bad call, 5 minute Body.

When she uses a calf and cow as a reason not to eat milk.....I want to scream, "I am not a cow!"

@@ronlwaiczis4211 What do you mean? Milk is made of the 3 macronutrients plus vitamins and minerals . The only bad thing about cow's milk is that it has sugar aka lactose aka galactose. Nothing wrong with the protein and fat in milk, as well as other nutrients like calcium. If I could get milk without galactose I would happily drink it and it would be good for me. This myth about cow's milk versus mother's milk is naive and silly. Your body doesn't care, it simply metabolises what you eat into the one or all of the 3 macronutrients...

@ketoman4057 it's not much sugar. Anyway, notice how us Americans have waged war on dairy fat, and got fatter in the process.

@@keithbarbaro7590 LOL! For me there is a lot of sugar in milk. One teaspoon of sugar (5g) per 100ml. So a litre of milk has 10 teaspoons of sugar. Or a cafe latte made with 200ml of milk has 10g (2 teaspoons of sugar). I aim to have less than 25g of sugar per day, zero ideally. Your body only needs 5g of sugar at any given moment - the rest spikes insulin and gets stored as fat - bad fat. I wonder what you Americans are eating anyway? It has to be full of carbs and seed oils - all toxins. I annoys me to see beautiful beef ribs smothers in sticky yucky sweet sugary sauce. Since when was it a good idea to coat meat with sugar?? Madness....a bit of salt is all it needs as the natural flavour of grass fed beef is unbeatable....stupid sauces kill the natural flavour and also kill the person eating it. Drowning good meat in sauce, any sauce, is a dumb thing to do, completely ruins the natural flavour of meat, get you even more addicted to sugar, and is bad for your health.

Wow. A gem of a statement.

Sorry just realised what I’ve wrote about my age , slip of the keyboard. I’m 70 soon to be 71 .

That’s a relief 😅 otherwise your Dad had you when he was a 15year old!

@@jengenx7729 IT DOES HAPPEN!

Was your dairy raw? I am trying to figure things out..I have not been able to handle dairy since I was a baby.

@@anns2scents136 I’ve had mostly cheese made at home by my grandmother. So I would say yes , mostly raw. Now we eat mostly French and Dutch unpasteurised cheese , as well as lots of feta cheese. We all love goat cheese and sheep cheese. We are lucky the farms here do a lot of their own cheeses. If I was having a problem with cheese and wanted to eliminate it I would start with eating the smallest piece I could manage and I would increase it slowly.

Amen!

I raise dairy goats. Their milk has different qualities. Check it out.

I hit a plateau about 6 weeks into keto/carnivore after losing 20 pounds. I was solidly into ketosis and glucose under 100. Dr Boz mentioned I was probably long term insulin resistant and I was still producing insulin when I shouldn't be if my hormones were running normal. She nailed it. She said I would need to force a reset of my hormones by fasting once a week for 3-4 weeks. Anything from 24-72 hours water fasting should do. An alternative is to make sure I get in some weight lifting. I've been hitting a treadmill daily but have started hitting some weights with emphasis on more reps than weight. I just finished a 3 day water fast where I only dropped 5 pounds. The firs 24 hours were a little odd feeling but after that not a big deal. I ate small food portions coming off the fast with some diarrhea but nothing serious. I have lost a couple more pounds after a few days so I think I am back in the saddle again.

Thank you for saying that. I'm a little nervous now with the genes

2 keto dudes podcast had been telling people you had to take out dairy if you are struggling for 6 months or having issues. Maybe now I'll learn what the cheese has been doing to people lol

Exactly, I think the same. We should listen to our bodies.

she back tracked a bit and said that the addictive elements were in the dairy protein and her association to her addiction makes butter a problem. but then went on to talk about fat being addictive in general because Marry J path way. A substance that is not really addictive. So if butter does not have addictive elements how is fat addictive?

@@JC-Utopic-Gauntlet Not for everyone. For my family, mj pathway is highly addictive.

Yes the milk that occurs in nature for calves and babies is high in sugar and fat, and is the only food found in nature that has both. Fat and Sugar together is a recipe for weight gain. Agree with you on butter

On this journey how much food did you eat in a day and/or approximately how many calories did you take in. Did you also exercise during your weight loss?

Same here! 🙏🏻💪💪👏👏

Congrats!

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Me too

😂😂😂

Same 😅...

Too much information. Got to sift through it all. Only we know as individuals what works for us.

@@dianetrue2396 but the problem is most people don't have a clue

Are u?

artificial sweeteners :100%

How long after quitting dairy did you notice a difference? 10:06

I have found certain dairy is inflammatory for me. I do think there is some individual nuance that is part of the journey...as you demonstrated in your own assessment. ❤

Yeah dairy and more specifically cheese and heavy cream is something the carnivore community is split on. Some cheeses bother me some don't, but if I find if I eat a small portion of cheese/day it doesn't bother me. If I have a cheese omelette in the morning, and then snack on cheese between meals, and then grate loads of parm. cheese on my burgers I get a little bloated and some of my old stomach "sounds" come back. So for me moderation is key when it comes to cheese. 1 tablespoon of heavy cream in my coffee does not bother me though. I will be working on eliminating cheese and cream though, just because I know if I have anything more than a small portion it bothers me, so it can't be that good for me to begin with.

For me when I introduced back dairy I restarted to have body smell. Mainly dairy like too

I'm gonna have to try it because I'm doing the same thing. Can't figure it out. I'm sure it's the dang heavy cream, my lifeline.

Me, too.

Me too! This woman is neurotic

100%

I found that it helped me to relax and sleep at night

Too much restriction and deprivation has consequences also. That's why diets fail.😊

I've been on carnivore for 30+ days, fell off with sugar vanilla syrup for coffee will NOT be doing that again...still working on some gravings but do a 5-4-3-2-1 count per Mel Robbins that really does help..

Same here on day 40. I bet this lady has never tried the carnivore diet and from the looks of it doesn't walk or exercise much which help greatly get your mind off the cravings for food you once ate... You will get some cravings now and then on the carnivore diet. It usually starts after week 3 or 4, but it's not as bad as she describes it and nothing a piece of good hard cheese or a burger can't fix. The trick is to eat enough meat/fat so that you do not get hungry between meals that you feel you need to snack. If you don't eat enough on the carnivore diet, that is when the cravings come back. Once you learn how to manage that the cravings are few are far between.

Yup, and btw people/carnivores should not try to avoid Carnivals and town Fairs. Get out on events without fear. There is always a couple of vendors that offer meat on a stick - shish kebab. Wife and I went to a Greek festival the other day. We ordered Gyro's and beef sticks. We just ate the meat and threw out the pita bread and the sticks :-)

I have just done my day 2 and I could kill for pudding with custard right now. 😂😂. But I’m sticking with it. Day 2 of no smoking too. Never too late to get healthy. I watch videos to inspire me and teach me.

@@Jazaloo Yikes! You are really working hard! Good luck.

I agree. Things have changed dramatically. Most ppl love store bought convenience food. Soda being #1

Thank you for this common sense. I do not believe dairies is the problem for most people. What I believe the issue is: 1. Most people today are eating emotionally due to all the daily stress. So, people use dairies as snacks and overeating dairies... 2. People are eating more than 3 meals a day, and never moving around, no exercises

yes stress and not working phisically and stimulated by social media @@papazjose1274

Industrial and environmental poisons have interrupted many people’s ability to properly digest food and absorb nutrients. Glyphosate alone is creating leaky guts. There are massive changes in the last 20-50 years alone. You cannot compare to people in previous generations. Additionally, the modern western lifestyle of artificial lights, screens, no outside grounding time (wearing shoes), not enough sunlight on bare skin or uncovered eyes, non native emf. You can search pubmed for all the science on how detrimental all these are. No comparison to previous peoples lives.

Wow!! I did not realise that parts of Australia actually have snow and ski slopes!!🤯 Sounds like you lead a great life. ❤

Don't rub it in. I live in Brisbane. Precious little hope of us having snow to ski on.

What do you cook your meat in if not butter?

@@karolmolpus9536beef tallow and bacon grease is good to cook with.

Do you get the same effect on ghee?

Try KETO 1st for 4 weeks, 20 grams of carbs or less

Go high fat carnivore. Fatty meat + butter + eggs + bone broth (no dairy except for butter - butter is fine). It takes practice. Reduce your carb intake over a period of 4 weeks to less than 30g per day. You are likely to relapse. That's normal. Never give up giving up carbs.

Keep trying! Never give up on carnivore/ketavore/keto This will heal you!

You should really try the carnivore diet. You will start seeing the difference right away if you are suffering from any minor (or major) ailments.

Pim Jansson helps coach people with food addictions, she has a YT channel.

She's selling her product.....addiction. She's addicted to it.

I totally agree with you. If you take all she says to heart you won’t eat a damn thing.

Not for everyone. I can go weeks without cheese.

Lol 😂🤣😂👍🏻

I can tell you. I started Carnivore Nov 20th dropped 25 pounds the first month and then found a carnivore recipe youtube channel and they were pushing heavy cream and cheese. on Dec 27th I was up 10 pounds from my last weigh in nov 20th. then I started searching and I have seen several people bashing dairy and cheese for keeping people from losing weight. Butter has not been a problem yet and I have dropped 20 pounds since I cut the cheese and heavy cream. Good luck.

@@JC-Utopic-Gauntlet I think moderation is a thing too. Cream (even the heavy kind) and cheese do have carbohydrates - butter does not

I think that for the most part they’d agree with her, at least about the dairy.

Dr. Chaffee already spoke about it. He says fatty meat, salt and water. Cheese if you must, but there is no nutritional requirement to eat cheese as it is pro inflammatory.

Dr bright would totally not agree with her on the butter subject

@@upsbabygirl18 I definitely heard Dr. Ikland say that butter was fine...she said SHE noticed it was a trigger for her...(at least that is what I heard)...being that butter is almost totally fat.

Chaffee or Bright would tear her argument to pieces.

Butter has nutrients.

A cow is a female and produces the milk that dairy products are made from. A steer is a castrated bull (male) that produces the beef. Two completely different animals. Milk female. Beef male. The cow's milk is produced specifically for baby cattle (male and female). The milk and the beef do not come from the same animal. Hope this helps you understand. I grew up on a farm and it seems to be common that most folks don't know or understand the anatomy. It would be counterproductive to kill a milk cow to eat because that cow would continue to produce milk rather than go to slaughter.

Beef comes from all cattle, gender aside. Not all cows are used in dairy production or breeding.

@@forthelifeofus-carnivorous2028 sure

Exactly what I thought. Meat is a processed food according to her thought process. The animal takes in grass then through its metabolism, creates beef.

@@MOE-gm3si lol. Oh boy , overthinking it now, bees vomiting pollens into wax cells become honey, therefore process food , with your silly logic,

It's not fat addiction. It's addiction to the drugs released by your brain when you eat delicious food. A delicious food could be a sugar filled treat or a fatty lunch.. Whatever excites you as you eat it. But clearly any processed meat is bad... I believe in eating natural meat without sodium nitrate.. That can't be good for you. The sodium nitrate is also a factor in what makes these processed meat taste extra delicious

Them dayum pork rinds 😢🙊🙉🙈😭🤣🤣

Suggest you watch Dr Ken Berry's video on Processed meat. You will be surprised.

Me too!!!!!

Exactly me. Got round and bloated again at month 9 and struggling to get back to the carnivore honeymoon flat stomach. I’m also changing my mindset around being attached to those foods. The whole “it’s so sad to give up … X” or “I’ve given up everything else I must keep … X” it’s all attachment and addiction. I’m reading it all in the comments.

It’s not just the caffeine, however, in coffee and teas, it’s the tannins which impede vitamin and mineral absorption, particularly B1/thiamin which is a nervous system regulator which is all-encompassing. That’s the reason I have curtailed my tea and coffee drinking to be far away from food digestion and small amounts.

@@olgakuchukov6981 Thank you. I only drink café crème when I get out of bed in the morning, which is typically 5 to 6 hours before my first meal of the day.

@@twofarg0ne763 that’s great, i would tweak that even better for optimal cortisol balance and wait 60-90min after waking. See Andrew Huberman on the science and quantum biology and other carnivores on why to eat breakfast first before caffeine. Good luck with your health journey!

How much heavy cream? I have been having 2 tbsp in 1 cup coffee daily. I need to let go of both I fear!🙃

I drink a gallon of milk a day. Eat a whole gouda cheese melted over a kilo of smoked bacon then swallow 12 raw eggs for dessert.

Same here, no problem with dairy, still losing weight

You guys are making me laugh. You can't live without it, yet you say you have no problem with it.

@ellek6505 I did live without it for 30 days on the BBB&E challenge. After that I slowly reintroduced some cheeses and heavy cream and sour cream, and none of these affected me negatively. So why should I stop eating them? I don't have them every day, just like I don't have certain seasonings and spices every day, but I still enjoy them when I do. Life is for living.

That's an obtuse response. I can't live without oxygen or water either. Should I be able to? At the end of the day, just needing to eat and being limited to a tiny selection of food options, and then desiring, craving it - is called survival.@@ellek6505

how much berberine do you take per day plse ?

1 pill per day@@LaRoSaJoLie

You might want to watch Carnivore Kipp. He's been doing great with his weight loss and is a very down to earth guy.

You got this! I seriously believe mind set is a huge part of being successful at anything we do.

Booze IS sugar. Best to avoid it. In all earnestness, have you considered attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings? It sounds as if you may have an issue with booze. If you do and get it under control you may find your other issues are more manageable or actually vanish completely. Best to you! 🌷

Can't say I'd be quick to join..she does not look healthy.

That’s all I got out of it too. And I watched till the end. 🙄

Really? I’m about half way through and was hoping she had a solution. I know I’m addicted to sugar, I’m realizing I’m addicted to dairy.

She did give some solutions starting at ~34:25. It segued into Rina asking about her group, but the info she gave before that could be researched online where I’m sure there’s plenty of info. She also emphasized community, which for us Carnivores is abundant through many different Carnivore channels. I think it was great that she listed the eleven signs of addiction. All those can also be looked up online. Sure, she wouldn’t mind picking up some new people to help, that’s what she does. Rina also has a group that one pays to join, so do a whole slew of Carnivore influencers and others. Rina invited her on in order to bring help to her (Rina’s) group, if anyone would be so inclined. Nothing wrong with trying to help people with their problems and getting paid for your expertise.

@@marianne1959 In what way does she look unhealthy? She looks fine to me. She looks to be about 70, imo. Others have also commented that she doesn’t look good- mostly the ones who are criticizing what she has to say, so I’m curious.

It is the least complicated diet and the simplest. My cooking is 5 min a day in the last 4 years

But humans are addicted to food full stop - which is exactly how we've managed to survive as a species. If we just didn't bother with it, we wouldn't have sought it out and avoided starvation. We are driven to eat. Honestly, as a recovered anorexic, it is entirely possible to switch off that 'drive' to eat. But is it really what we want?

disagree and most people who are addicted and eat excessively likely have insulin resistance

The best? Her interview is completely incoherent. She’s a nut job.

this woman is bringing me down carnivore 50 days, high fat, and im loving it, healing, feeling excellent and mentally alert, even after eating cheese and cream. so the cow is the processor of milk? well, with this logic, the pig is the processor of its meat, the chicken is the processor of its meat etc.

Just ignore her and listen to the seasoned RU-vid carnivores who look and sound much healthier than this neurotic woman!

@@mcrow9599 Yeah, the logic is terrible. You have to eat something. Raw milk is fine in moderation. If everything is going to kill you, sounds like you’re going to die anyway. Might as well pick the best path you can with the information you have available to you.

I watched the entire video and didn’t get any negative vibes from it at all!! I believe she was just warning about addictions and how they can transfer from one thing to another and that it’s something to watch out for. If you have no problems with the transference, then she’s not talking to you!! Everything she spoke about how addiction works with the receptors, is correct. She’s offering people who are struggling a way to get help. That’s why Rina invited her on to speak about it, so that people on Carnivore who may be puzzled as to why it doesn’t seem to be working can troubleshoot and figure it out. I’ve been Carnivore for a year now and haven’t lost any weight- need to lose 30-40 lbs. I’m not concerned at all because I’ve had so many NSVs (non-scale victories) and my body is still in the healing process. The weight will come off when my body is ready for it to. Meanwhile, I’ve been able to get off four of the six drugs I’ve been on for many years, with the fifth one halved and on it’s way out, and the sixth will be started after that. My skin tags are gone and my skin isn’t dry like it was. I figure the weight will start to come off soon after I’ve weaned off that last drug- if my body says I’m healed. I have the addictive personality she talks about but have been able to control it with Carnivore- all my cravings for sugar are gone. I have found that I do have cravings for heavy whipping cream, so I just avoid it and I’m fine. I also LOVE bacon and Kerrygold butter and have eaten loads of both, but I don’t crave them like I craved sugar and HWC and can walk away from them, so they’re not a problem. It sounds like y’all have also found cravings success on Carnivore and don’t really need Dr. Ifland’s course or advice. Congrats on y’all’s success!!

@@mcrow9599She’s right about the cow being the processor of milk- they produce milk. Your comparison doesn’t hold as the milk isn’t part of the cow’s body, like the meat of a pig or chicken is.

MORE CARBS ❤

AND LIFT WEIGHTS 🙏

Perhaps try eating fattier cuts of meat first. But I agree that some folks need to add a few carbs to gain or hold on to weight. Same with weight training. I’m amazed by how easy it is to build muscle while on carnivore. Good luck!

More calories not more carbs, ugh. Want to create more inflammation for the sake of gaining a few pounds? I suggest having your body fat percentage checked before deciding you need to gain weight. It could be just body composition hast to change in order to gain a few pounds.

I was raised on beef farm. My issue has been corrected eating how I was raised. Beef, eggs, pork and raw milk. I eat lots of fat. No carbs. Eating enough is an issue. I've never been fat.

Perfect. You got it❤ pretty soon where a mask n stop breathing it's addictive 😅

Ha ha, agree. I'm addicted to being alive too. She's probably got a program for that too.

@@desertboot9755 I’m sure she does. And a book. I like to enjoy the life I’m lengthening. Gasp! Not a glass of wine! Or Brie with it! Haha!

Don't worry according to the latest science everything is everybody else's fault. There is no such thing as "taking responsibility" anymore. Maybe that is why the world is going to hell.

Our neurological wiring is not our fault. Our genetics is not our faulf. Our childhood trauma is not our fault. These and more can drive addiction. We can't overcome what we're not aware of, and that includes being unable to change behaviors because we don't understand the subconscious drivers behind them.

@@cloudwalker8266 I don't make excuses for my failures, I own them and correct them. But if pointing the finger everywhere but at yourself works for you, by all means, carry on.

@@ronlwaiczis4211 nope

How so? Genuinely curious.

You can tell me. Must be her "traumatic" childhood.

It was not a bit of a head scratcher… it was train wreck of confusion.

She is not using the cadillac of studies to support her opinions. a lot of very feeble so called sgudies out there. Agreed, the worst intervew

@@mcrow9599 Dr. Elizabeth Bright will also put her in the right track, specially related to butter. This doctor is just full of biased, unscientific opinions.

AGREED!

Totally agree!!!!!!!

Yes. She needs to point at her head over and over. 😂😂😂😂

I’m feeling the same way. This is confusing. So reduce fat??? On carnivore? Just eat lean meat and wild caught seafood? No salt, carbs, veggies, fruits or dairy. Not for me.

Sushi is digestable. Ask the Japanese

Breathing doesn't stimulate your reward center, like serotonin, epinephrine etc

Totally agree. She presented a “problem” but offers no solution other than joining her group. Follow your gut, not everyone is addicted to food.

Totally agree!

Agreed. She’s a whack job.

Obviously considering she is a great promoter of whole foods. Meat is not in the category of a whole food.

She seems to be a low fat, whole food, mostly diverse plant based. She doesn't say what to eat. Just that if you crave fat, you're fat addicted.

Don't be. This woman just sells her "product"... And more people thinking that they are "addicted" = more money for her...

@@polibm6510 I thought I was doing pretty good until watching this. Then she’s keeps saying, it’s not your fault.

Eat "air" seems to be her solution.

She did mention a client who got rid of her 'fat' addiction by getting her fat from flax seeds.

oh no....I'm going to have to stop.

Same! Added raw dairy, berries and now feel better and finally losing weight!

I’m two weeks into unprocessed anything-that-comes-straight-from-an-animal carnivore. Raw dairy meets my criteria. Anything that had be altered from it’s natural state in a factory (other than for portioning and packaging) I class as processed. I can’t eat enough meat to get past 1000 calories a day let alone hit the required protein:fat ratio. I have to have cream to up my fat intake and cottage cheese to up my protein intake when the ratio gets out of whack. I started feeling the benefits after three days. There are raw meat eaters out there who would argue that I’m processing my food myself when I cook it. To them I would say “Good luck with that.” The doctor raises some interesting questions but in the end we have to use our own common sense, trust our own experience, set our own principles, or we will go mad. Our total acceptance of the expertise of authority figures is likely to get us killed. Having said that, there are people who have had to cut out dairy, some for health concerns but many just because they’ve stopped losing weight. Personally I think it’s better to focus on health rather than weight. Also a diet has to be pleasurable for it to be sustainable for a lifetime which, if carnivore is truly the proper human diet, it needs to be.

@@louk6196 Thank you very much for your answer! Yes, I'm basically doing the same as you. I'm actually doing it to lose weight too, as I'm a bit overweight (I've had two pulmonary embolisms and can't exercise because I'm too short of breath) and should lose weight for health reasons. I was a vegetarian for 12 years for ethical reasons and I find it very difficult to eat so much meat and animal fat. Although I do eat a little dairy (unfortunately processed like very little Greek yoghurt, cream cheese, heavy cream and hard cheese), I hope that by cutting out sugar and most factory-processed foods I will lose some weight through ketosis. Since ketosis is also possible on the keto diet with plant-based proteins, I hope it will still work. Thank you for your answer, I feel better after reading it 🤗 All the best to you!

@@SeekingTruth2023 It is really difficult to eat meat and fat when we have been told by the “experts” over and over again that they will cause cancer and heart attacks. It’s particularly difficult when we love all animals and would rather they lived out their natural lifetime, free and happy. Unfortunately their natural lifetime is extremely short in the wild and ends with violence no matter how much we would wish it otherwise. The best we can do is buy meat only from humanely reared and slaughtered animals. If you are eating processed plant-based proteins, read the labels and make sure you know what each ingredient actually is. Manufacturers are putting some insane stuff in what can only be called Frankenfood. Best Wishes to you. I truly hope you will find the way that meets your needs and that your health improves 100%. 🤗 PS A lot of my dairy is processed as well. I can buy raw milk, cheddar, butter and cream but it’s very expensive so I can’t always afford it. Others like Greek yoghurt, cream cheese etc. are impossible to get raw. Going carnivore is teaching me to do the best I can and not beat myself up if I’m not perfect.

mine doesnt so whats the deal ?

Dairy might no be great for some people but nothing is as bad as sugar!!!!!

Me, dairy makes my hot flashes goes to the roof, so I add butter to my coffe, I wish I can drop the coffe Al together

Bad for you and others, not all.

I'm the same. I've perfected my own carnivore ice cream recipe and it's so addictive to me. If it's in my freezer, I'm eating it. For my recipe, even the smallest carton of cream creates around 40 pops and I only use cream in ice cream. I've discovered it's safer for me to just have a store bought ice cream on occasion than to keep my carnivore ice cream in the freezer. I've been carnivore just over two years now and it appears that as long as I'm my usual strictness, the occasional ice cream once a month or every few months won't mess me up at all. I do find what she said about butter and salt feeding opioid sensors interesting. I took opioids for pain management for multiple decades. Around six months into carnivore, I took myself off of them. I had been weening down. Until earlier this year, I craved salt and butter constantly. I ate a lot of salt. I thought it just my body healing, but I do wonder if it was a bit of both because I didn't have the physical withdraws to the extent I had in the past when insurance irresponsibly refused to pay without notice. Opiate withdrawal is no fun. IF, and I say "if" because I don't know it to be fact", salt and dairy feeds those receptors, it'd make a lot of sense as to why I've craved what I have craved at times. With that said, I don't believe all cravings are signs of addiction... I will use Magnesium as my example. Before I started using Magnesium, I'd crave chocolate like my life depended on it. I also ate a lot of spinach every single day. Along with nuts and seeds. (Yes, I ended up oxalate dumping badly for a long time.). I'd use cacao and make my own chocolates so that I could control what went in them. If I didn't have quite a bit of cacao every single day, my mood would go almost manic. Fast forward to switching to the carnivore diet. I was very worried I'd not be able to give up cacao and stay sane. I noticed I was craving the electrolytes I drank more and more. I pulled some Magnesium spray out that I had bought prior to help with pain. I noticed when I used it, my electrolytes cravings went down, so I bought some ingestible magnesium and started adding extra to my drinks. (I don't like the residue the oil leaves or I'd use it because it does absorb better.). Almost instantaneously, it seemed, I stopped craving chocolate. I didn't just stop craving it, I stopped thinking about it. I currently have two versions of very high quality cacao in my pantry. I've always been picky on the flavor profiles of cacao, but now I'm wondering if some are higher in Magnesium than others. They've been in my pantry for a few years now. The only time I remember they're there is if I watch a chocolate video and consider making something to give away or if I don't have my usual amount of Magnesium for whatever reason. What's really interesting to me is if given the choice between some water with LMNT and extra Magnesium in it (I also add iodine) or the most delicious chocolate confection I can think of, I'll reach for the water. There's a big part of me that's appalled by that because Mmmm chocolate, but it is what it is. Now that I think about it, when I first started drinking LMNT, I almost exclusively drank the chocolate salt version. That stuff tasted like Ambrosia to me. I rarely drink it now unless during cold months when I'll make hot drinks with it so I don't have to turn my heat on. I clearly had an undiagnosed Magnesium deficiency. When looking at everything Magnesium has a hand in, I definitely had a deficiency. So, I don't think all cravings are addictions per say. However, I'm not entirely sure we can distinguish between actual need and addiction when going by feeling or craving. It's a very interesting subject. I think I've found my next research deep dive. Haha, I wonder if anyone considers an addiction to learning as a negative thing. My brain is certainly an addict for that. Thank you for the different, but interesting interview. Our bodies are complex machines. The popular carnivore dogma lacks the intricacies to be absolute. I appreciate persons who don't spout the routine line and who challenge the conversation. I don't always agree with them and I rarely agree with 100% of what anyone on the subject states, but I do welcome the opportunity to be pointed in another research direction. If no one is questioning different points then we've failed ourselves. This was an enjoyable video. 🦋

@@ApAcVideoWatcher I believe she said the salt is connected to the opioid receptors and the butter to the cannabinoid receptors. I caught that because I love butter but have never touched anything remotely related to anything cannabis.

@@luanneneill2877 Thank you for pointing this out, Luanneeill. I clearly missed that distinction. I used to eat a lot of Hemp seeds when I was vegan and I've tried CBD oil, but that's it for me also. Couldn't get past the dry mouth to stick with it.

@@ApAcVideoWatcherI agree and experienced many things you said. After starting taking magnesium as a supplement 1.5 years ago, I realized ~6 months into it that I stopped thinking about, craving, buying or eating chocolate.

Agree This girl has had two Drs on against carnivore she herself even laughed with the other Dr when he said don't eat butter when she used to eat butter. Think I'm don't with her channel as well. Stick to berry and cheffe. I'm out

That's the message I got. If you 'desire' or feel excited to eat something - it's a sign you're unhealthy? What about pleasure in life at all? I already eat so restricted - can't eat out of the house - can't eat in front of other people because it's odd and strange. What more pleasure does she believe I need to get rid of in order to not be unhealthy?

Bingo!

Agree. I go with my instincts and this interview doesn’t sit well with me on many levels.

Agreed This woman is not a true scientist from what we heard in this video, she thinks she knows it all definitively and she does not temper her statements with qualifiers as all good professional scientists do. Forget everything she said, her motive is to sell her program and create more customers for herself.

@@expeditionpangaea226same

Haha okay phew, I was thinking omg I love my butter:)

@@5MinuteBody I'd be very interested in what Dr Berry and Dr Bright think about this fat opinion. It would change a lot of their advice, in fact it goes against it. Who to believe, the Carnivore experts or Dr Ifland? Pretty sure I know what I will do.

Same here meat and eggs for the last 5 months but I have lost no weight/fat but gained...how many eggs are you eating per day? I have no evidence but maybe I gained weight/fat because of eggs...is it possible? Thank you :)

I LOVE cheese but one has to do what one has to do. Darn.
