Also... thank you for your statement on how we look to others [cancer patients]. It's sooo true. Our closest friends keep looking at us that way. My husband lost 41 lbs and went from size 36 waist down to 32! I was 120 and now fluctuate between 100 and 102... went down to 99.8 once. We feel EXCELLENT. Now we're working out 3X a week, lifting heavy things 😊 and I'm getting some good arms. We can hardly wait till June to show off our muscles and look soooo good during bathing suit weather at our friend's pool. 😉
Been watching you and following your theories from Montpellier, southern France. For 2 months now. Feeling so much better and better.... It's amazing. Thank you!
Welcome to Dr. Berry’s carnivore community! Love to hear that more and more people across the world are experiencing the health benefits of the proper human diet.
Salut de MURET (TOULOUSE), difficile de trouver des carnivores francophones. Carnivore depuis Juillet 2023, résultats incroyables ,toutes mes douleurs inflammatoires très incapacitantes disparues vers fin Octobre ( depuis 15 ans je ne trouvais aucune solution). J'ai triché pendant une quinzaine de jours vers mi-Décembre...mes douleurs sont revenues une dizaine de jours après, et puis de nouveau carnivore depuis une dizaine de jours et mes douleurs s'atténuent déjà fortement ( je pense qu'avant fin Janvier ce sera bon) j'ai pris une bonne leçon, c'est intenable de souffrir à nouveau mais ça me fait une référence. J'avais retrouvé mes trente ans, une patate de fou, et je partais de loin ...58 ans, 5 infarctus, le premier à 41 ans, la moitié du ventricule gauche morte, trois arrêts cardiaques. Mais le pire à vivre c'était les douleurs inflammatoires aux jambes, avant-bras, dos, hanches, et le brouillard, la fatigue permanente, le ventre gonflé, les idées noires. Pour moi, c'est carnivore ou une vie misérable et la mort à court terme.
Thanks Dr Berry.... I’m 4 months carnivore thanks to you. I was YouTubing selenium and you came on and I really liked your style so I followed you and came across the carnivore diet. My body is healing .... Alberta Canada ❤
Cannot believe how many diagnostic tests everyone seems to be able to order through their doctor or private labs. Obesity caused illness. If I asked even for an exray or scan, my doctor would have to have a purpose to order, or health care here 🇨🇦 will not allow because of costs. Where I live our available healthcare is falling apart. So, becoming healthier with diet is my best approach.
Dr Barry, I just looked at one of your first videos on this channel and compared how your face looks. It's amazing. You look younger now than you did 5 years ago. You are proof of concept!
76 YO, have lost 33 pounds on keto. Dropped Pravastatin, omeprazole, metoprolol, cetirizine, aspirin. Feel great -- no more back and joint pain. I walk 4-5 miles per day. Just got my labs (USA units of measure). A1c 5.7, fasting insulin 3.2, TG 23, HDL 109, LDL 97. All hepatic were fine. Pretty damn awesome I'd say. Doc says my TG is TOO LOW, and I should be back on a statin. WTF!!?? I'll be looking for a new doc in Tucson, AZ. Recommendations would be appreciated.
I'll be turning 68 soon, still love to work 5 days a week, it's fun for me😀. I've been doing Keto 4 years plus now, 😂sometimes ketovore, it's hard to give-up my mixed nuts!! Good luck & good health to us all. Big thanks Dr Berry for educating us all about this proper human diet. 💗💗💗
Since January eating again just meat ( beef, lamb, but also wild caught salmon and sardines) , butter and eggs. I do cook the meat in avocado oil and sprinkle on some high quality olive oil afterwards. I don't really have auto-immune issues but I just feel better eating that way.
Hi Im 2 weeks into 90 day journey! Reading Dr. Berrys book- Lies etc. Im some better with what I thought was diverticulitis- but ive never smoked, weigh 103, very active. ?? But think a poor diet for many years- playing around with sugar! Ugh! I feel so much better eating meat. Thx for all your help! Grateful from Rio Ranch NM
I found this site in November 2022 while looking for help with persistent painful gas problems with IBS. My gas problem continues and now as of December 2023, I have triple negative breast cancer, stage 2. I'm 77, 5'1"', weight 110 (down from 130). The treatments my oncologists are likely to recommend are scary and not likely to help with the gas problem which is destroying me. I listened to Dr Berry and David Harper and found hope on the cancer issue.
I have been strictly PHD, carnivore, usually OMD since January. Before that on FODMAP DIET recommended by Dr. at UofMI bowel clinic since February 2020. Gradually I realized that plant foods were adding to my distress and naturally found myself on carnivore before I stumbled on Dr. Berry's amazing site. My POC can't help and recommends a return to UofMI, but I can't leave my house until my bathroom needs subside, usually by late afternoon. I was on the phone to make an appointment with UofMI when I got the call on my biopsy pathology. Sadly my new diet has not relieved any of my issues including incontinence, neuropathy or blepharitis that I see others are helped with. I will stick with it because I believe cancer is a metabolic disease and it's all I can do without the influence of drugs or doctors. Thanks for your helpful comments.
Cow milk also has different casein values. You have A1A1, A1A2 and A2A2 casein values. Almost all store bought milk is A1A1 via large production breeds like Holsteins.
I restarted keto and added a lot more beef. After 5 days, I seemed to have almost allergic reaction. I had to back off too much beef for now, but still keto using fats and meats (some beef) and eggs.
Are you eating any veggies at all? I have started getting itchy welts which I think are caused by tomatoes and capsicums/bell peppers. I'm still testing my theory.
Help!! What are we going to do about sugars and seed oils in infant formula? My great grand baby is in the hospital recovering from open heart surgery (born with heart disorder). He is on a tube feed and they can give him breast milk (which they have abundance of) but insist on mixing it with formula which is full of seed oils and corn syrup! When asked to give a seed oil free formula only, they respond with, "it's all we have, you can use that when you get home." We got to do better than this. Of course he is not tolerating it all! Knowledge can be frustrating at times like this. What rights do we have when we are at the mercy of the medical establishment?
I would be curious what you think of the Netflix documentary, “you are what you eat-a twin study”. I have my own opinions but respectfully would like yours . Thank you
Southern Calif. after 52lbs wt loss on keto Have maintained for over a yr with On sorta keto, seriously considering carnivore or ketovore, but not sure how to start or with which. I have CHF, my Cardiologist on board with my keto, we have to frequently check my Potassium levels.
I have been on the carnivore diet for a week and only lost two pounds. I eliminated all of the carbs and sweeteners. I’m hypothyroidism, insulin resistance and sufferer from candida. I purchased the keto chow electrolyte drops and adding more salt like you recommended. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to eat more meat and fats?
Watching from Iowa 🇺🇸. Thanks Dr. Ken. Can I heal my hypothyroidism with carnivore diet? I currently take Levothyroxin & Prednisone. Anyone have improvements with their hypothyroidism with carnivore?
Terve! I think I am not strict keto but I eat max 2 times a day. Love beef, pork, eggs, avokado Most fasting about 18 hours and eating those and suppl. So Q is, I am hungry before noon, getting along after. Any opinions?
Are they just regular hunger pangs or do you feel like you are starving and need to eat? For me, because I had been eating when hungry for so much of my life, I had to learn to distinguish whether it was just a passing hunger pang or I was truly in need of food.
I had to quit butter. I'm lactose intolerant. You can try gee or use bacon as your fat. I did throw-up. It was within 30 min. It was butter. Not everyone can eat it. I hope you find your balance. I'm starting over again. I have indigestion. I eat a smaller amount and drink more water.
That should scare you. I'm still on BP meds. I quit all other meds. If you write down when it's low. I wait until it's elevated before taking meds. It has to be high enough to have the meds. If not see your Dr. about a lower dose or if you need them. Only he can choose with that med. Best wishes for better health.
Yes anything with calories will break a fast. But fat is better choice if your trying hold off eating a big meal because it not give you a big insulin spike. Good luck.
Im 58, stopped (doctors advice) keto due to stomach acid, how do i go back to keto? As of this time, i eat small fractions of food everytime i feel stomach acid, any advice?
i've been there (gerd...severe stomach acid) for almost 4yrs, since i started dirty keto with intermittent fasting for 14:10 gerd was gone og by the way eating 3x a day strict no snack
Re that Netflix special..you are what you eat...when the women chose their first born video..pre study they actually said they did not have enough time to choose the corn they wanted..their second time choosing corn they had lots if time and dus not have to watch the same porn they chose the first time. They should have been the same.
I have been strict carnivore for about 2 weeks. I’m getting these huge, painful hormonal zits. I have noticed my sex drive returning. I don’t know if maybe it’s an estrogen thing?
I'm trying to be carnivore. The only carbs I have are pills taking for a metabolic dis ease. It's great! I'm feeling so good and weight is down 65 pounds. From 232 to 160.
Carnivore...day 4...46 years old! Down 5.8 lbs so.far! I'm looking forward to breaking up with sugar, it's such a toxic relationship! Thank you, Dr. Berry!
No pms at all. Since my second month of eating carnivore I have the most regular, pain free, unnoticeable cycles of my entire life. And I'm 47yo, former morbidly obese with over 500lb. I've had years over years either no period at all or heavy painful bleeding every two to three weeks. But now - I'm free. 🌸 Greetings from Germany from a 18 months carnivore girl. 😁
Back to Carnivore after eating junk for too long. My focus for January is BBBE and fasting. Your channel is super helpful! Thank you! Also reading lies my dr told me….back when you had a colorful plate it seems? The only veg I like is asparagus grilled in butter so carnivore was made for me. Thanks again!
5th day in strict carnivore, former ketovore/keto...I cannot say enough about the change in switching to carnivore. Like you, keto/low carb was just not cutting it for me. So many things happening...first benefit is a calm disposition and gut. Energy shift. More focus. Just incredible. Staying with this! Thank you for all you do in helping people regain their health and happiness! Small town gal from Nebraska! ❤
i am eating keto carnivore for the last two weeks, it relieved my constipation and have more energy. now i having some belly pain and dehydration. i am now 73. i always see your podcasts. thanks very much.
Carnivor for 5 weeks. Following prostate cancer surgery. No more pain in my hand and shoulder., had hand pain the last year which was severe… bad shoulder pain since 2005 … yes 2005… not a typo ! No more need for blood pressure med. BP has been about 117/68 taken daily. Also no bleeding in gums after not flossing for 3 weeks due to PC recovery. Gums in past bled if no flossing for 3 days. Lost 23 lbs … all in the stomach. 5’ 8” from 160 to 138. Only drinking water, meat, eggs, bacon, salmon and butter. Also drink black coffee. Cheated with 1 beer on Christmas from Nov 21 which was date of my surgery. Thank you for all your information and videos.
At 31, I experienced a heart attack and had a stent placed in the LAD. Before the heart attack, my diet included a lot of carbohydrates like bread, processed food, and vegetables, leading to various health issues such as skin disease, GERD, H. Pylori, depression, diabetes, and obesity. I’ve been on statins for 24 years and currently weigh 165 lbs at the age of 55. Over the past 10 months, I’ve lost 35 lbs through a keto/carnivore diet, cutting out sugar and reducing carbs. I initially practiced a 12-hour intermittent fasting routine for 3 months, followed by 4 months of OMAD (One Meal a Day), maintaining this approach. I also incorporate a 15-minute intensive exercise routine. Despite my positive results, my cardiologist doesn’t believe in the carnivore diet, dismissing it when I mentioned RU-vid testimonials. I’m currently on 20mg of statin, but my cardiologist refuses to adjust the dosage from 80mg to 40mg. Any advice on whether to discontinue or decrease my statin would be appreciated. Thank you.
I don't know if you need to wean off or just stop the statin. Have you read the side effects of statins? Be your own advocate. What is the worst thing your doctor can do if you stop taking the statins, fire you as a patient? You might need to find a new doctor. Find the research about cholesterol & present it to your doctor.
Statins are one of the few prescription medications that can be stopped cold turkey without causing any issues whatsoever. In the studies on the statins (funded by the companies that make them), even in the best case scenarios, they only manage to increase lifespan by 2-3 days for people. They're also really good at increasing cancer, diabetes, and dementia rates. They do seem to be pretty good at preventing minor heart attacks though, but they also seem to increase the chance of severe heart attacks. A minor heart attack can kill a person who has heart failure, so their benefit is mostly only for people who have heart failure (usually from a minor heart attack). In the end, it's up to you to decide what you want to do. The only real benefit of continuing to take them is to maintain the peace with your cardiologist, and there are real health benefits to having reduced interpersonal conflicts.
Check out Dr. Paul Mason and heart surgeon Dr. Phillip Ovadia. There is no weaning off them necessary. I threw mine away. Maybe get a new cardiologist, though, since you've had a heart attack? God Bless.💜✝️
Search for DR ASEEM MALHOTRA - a top British Cardiologist. He speaks on a Joe Rogan podcast also many other YT podcasts. What he states about Statins is eye-opening and NOT in a good way. What i will say is this ..if you have a Doctor who refuses to learn new ideas and won't listen to his patient even about diet/ nutrition - Do you think he is the best person to advise you on what you put in your own body and the KNOWN side effects! Good luck anyway 👍
50 years old and 4 years in Feb 2024-Ketovore but I would say I'm more carnivore. I've been following you for 4 years and you & Neisha are amazing! I feel better at 50 than I did at 30 😊💪💪
TwinzCraft - about your hub getting up often to urinate. Dr O'Mara talks about this. YES, go carnivore and importantly is to add some kind of sprinting exercise. Just 20 seconds of all out fast exercise. A couple of times a day or so. Visceral fat elimination is the goal. It will help later creating a strong urine flow and a LOT LESS disturbance of bedtime. (Also, Dr. Berry interviewed him recently)
Carnivore as of January 1, 2024 due to having Hashimotos/gallbladder sludge/pancreatic insufficiency and then also just got diagnosed with Crohn's this past Thursday 😩. I was going to do carnivore just for 3 months but sounds like I might have to keep it this way indefinitely. I was healthy most of my life. Very fit ate healthy. Two years ago I had issues with my stomach and was put on PPIs for six months and after that everything went down hill!A year ago I got diagnosed with Hashimotos gall bladder sludge and pancreas issues.
I’m so sympathetic. My gastroenterologist put me on PPIs for GERD. It ruined my stomach lining and led to a diagnosis of celiac later on. The stupid doctor who was specialized in the gastrointestinal system had no clue about food and diet. I’ve gradually eliminated so many foods from my diet that hearing about carnivore and trying it was no big deal. In fact it helps. It’s easy to digest meat. I don’t need to eat more than twice a day. I can get by ok at 78. After years of misery. Keep the faith. Eat meat. Move your body. Live well.
@@skonther0ck thank you! Yes unfortunately I trusted "the experts" and was led to very painful and expensive issues that have taken over not just my life but also my families.
Hello Dr Berry! I went off my diet Christmas holidays and gained 15 lbs and was on Dr Atkins Diet lost 125 lbs! Started Carnivore 3 days ago and now feeling better! Eating straight meat and eggs! Looking forward to weighting myself in 2 weeks! I am 5’2 I gain weight so easy! I am type 2 Diabetes, have been off insulin since last December! I don’t want to go back on insulin!!! Can’t wait to get to my goal that!
Dairy --> weight gain, my experience (low carb since Oct 2021). Starting weight 80kg, got down to 62kg and stayed there for a long time (at least 1 year). Stopped cheese due to it causing constipation and ended up losing another 3kg without even trying. I now weigh what I did before I had my first child in 1985. A bit disappointed that I didn't keep my wedding dress (married 1980) because I would have loved to see whether it fits now. I don't think it would but I think it would nearly fit.
Dr. Berry, your teaching ability is off the charts! Great example of how labotomies were handed out to young people not so long ago. That was a perfect reminder of, 'because this is what we know right now, then it is the perfect & best option' This thought process has caused harm to millions of souls. When I first read about Vioxx being responsible for 40,000 deaths, then I read the total death toll may have been 60,000, and then I read that well actually Vioxx had a connection to 500,000 heart attacks!!! WHAT?????? That was a great, great, great example to help people realize that over time, better solutions can be achieved. I Said all that to say to someone out there, if you are going through a health crisis & no doctor is giving you any answers, hang in there by staying as healthy as you can & as less stressed as you can be. Always listen to Dr. Berry & his wife & Dr. Anthony Chaffee too. Our bodies are miracle workers & when we can give our bodies the right fuel, the results are an unhealthy body returns to health!
If you go out to eat tell them that you’re allergic to send oil be careful of the BUTTER as well… even high end steak houses will blend their “butter” with margarine!! Margarine is just seed oil and various chemicals
And fake syrup-the kind that says, “no sugar”-if the label has any ingredient ending in -ose, the label is a lie! Because anything ending in -ose, like sucralose, is a sugar. And if the ingredients include caramel color, well, that has been banned in Europe-it’s a known carcinogen!
I am interested in the different fat content you are able to buy in the States. I live in 🇨🇦 and I can not find anywhere to buy it. Asked at a number of places, and all I am told is regular or lean. When I asked, at the only butcher shop around me, the butcher could not tell me percentage of fat? Now I just get regular.
Hi Dr.Berry, I've been carnivore since September 10 2023 (I was KETO..started February 18th, 2019 until it stopped working) I lost 8 lbs the first week and then gained it back and I'm slowly gaining..I don't cheat!! What am I doing wrong??!! This is getting really frustrating!!!!
Watching the Replay. I am on Carnivore, and right now doing a 60 day challenge for BBBE. Thank you Dr. Berry for all that you do for us. Yakima, Washington.
Dr. B..I live in Maryville, TN…do you still see patients? I have a doc that all he wants to do is write prescriptions…Finding a nutrition doc is almost impossible… I just turned 69..started Carnivore 5 days ago..and got back on the treadmill and walk 4 miles..and fill in my “bubbles” on my Apple Watch now.. Would love to find a REAL DOCTOR LIKE YOU…I don’t want pills..I want my body to heal…thank you..
Interstitial cystitis is why I have to get up to pee in night. So wise can be so many things. Ty Dr Berry for your great advice esp going to local compounding pharmacy to ask Dr names. Brilliant
Dr . Berry , my name is Kathy. I have cll over 12 years . I’m in remission now . I’m on your diet and I’ve lost my weight and I feel great but I’m afraid my oncologist would have a fit if she knew that . Do you think I should stay on carnivore diet or should I add some veges? The sugar is out of my life now . I’m just concerned about red fatty meats and bacon . I can’t wait to hear from you . We love your show ! I’m in remission from my cll . I’ve had this for 12 years . Thankyou so very much !🙏
