Tbh the dog food I give my dog is actually super healthy lol. It's more like how we feed cows Corn meal even though they should only ever eat grass. Because it's easier to mass produce corn instead of grass.
@@ruskibruskiJoe talks about what he started feeding his dog all the time in podcasts and he says the same as you (Also not even sure wtf that guy is talking about, only half of his comment made sense lmao)
I recently cut out all sugar and carbs (except vegetables like sweet potato and lentils. 2 meals a day, mostly meat. Not only lost 40 pounds but my brain fog and 3pm crash are gone. My mood is far better. Honestly I feel super human
@@wobblysauceDude, just let him eat sweet potato. You don't have to be miserable to be healthy and in shape, sweet potato is a vegetable not a piece of fried chicken.
@@MMA-CLIPS2most of the people in these threads are obese diabetics, so it’s wishy washy. It’s why you’ll see such extremes. Extreme diet opinions, extreme mood swings with “best I’ve ever felt in my life.” It’s just par for the course with keto and carnivore people.
I just hit 13 months carnivore and it has changed my life! i started at north of 715lbs i was stuck in the house for over 2 years and i was on home oxygen 24/7. i had congestive heart failure, reactive airway disease, depression, anxiety, lymphedema, and many other issues. ive lost 262lbs so far, i have my mobility back, im off oxygen, and off all meds, my depression and anxiety is completely gone. everything has healed and is either 95% to 100% healed! A literal answer to prayer ! i love hearing people changing their lives with carnivore too. Keep up the great work!
It’s not almost sinister, Shawn, it is sinister and criminal! Thanks to you and Ken Berry, Eric Westman and others. I have been carnivore for over five years. I am 78 and on no meds.😊🙏
I'm going to tell you something that might sound some what shocking, but the events did in fact happen. And that is cannibalism during civil war and the great depression. Quote: "The Great Depression was one of the darkest periods in American history. Millions of people lost their jobs, their homes, and their savings. Desperate times often lead to desperate measures, and there are many stories of people resorting to cannibalism during the Great Depression. While it is impossible to know for sure how many people resorted to cannibalism, there are certainly many stories of people eating their own children or other family members". In some cases, people were so desperate that they would kill and eat strangers. While cannibalism is certainly a horrific act, it is important to remember that the Great Depression was an incredibly difficult time for many people. Desperate measures were often necessary in order to survive. Same during the Russian civil war. Many turned to cannibalism, even selling body parts for other sources of food, as they did not want to eat their own children. Cannibalism during "The Great Famine" in 1845 where a third of Irelands population were wiped out due to starvation. Now I know you have lived a long and prosperous life so chances of you experiencing such crisis are slim. But it's not a matter of "if" it will happen again, but "when" it will happen again. History does tend to repeat itself. It's human nature to feel comfortable within our society knowing we have access to food at the push of a button, but history has shown that things CAN happen, and that a global economic collapse can and will put us into survival mode which is why people need to be weary. We can enjoy our food now, but soon will come a time where our "cravings" will really put us to the test. God be with us when that happens 🙏
I think it's the sugar and especially the hidden sugar in processed foods. I don't drink anything other than water or black coffee, but sometimes I work a lot and only eat convenience food for weeks or months. I'm constantly overeating even if I don't like the food. Then I go back to cooking my own meals, and no matter how good it tastes, I don't overeat.
@@akumpi definitely the sugar, sugar is in everything even in cigarettes ffs lmao sugar kills more annually than anything else on the planet but we dont talk about it.
Yeah it is wild how these things effect us. I think I am a "pleasure addict", whether it's drugs, sex, food, or just a fun activity I feel compulsion to do it.
@@birdlawyer6191 take back control of your mind! best of luck! fasting helps alot. you will fight through the addictions for a while but fasting speeds up the process through extreme mental torture lol.
I cut processed foods, sugar, pasta, seed oils, and only omad (one meal a day). I have lost 120 pounds. I was 309 when I started.I feel so much better now. I have mobility and clarity again. Thank you for spreading the message. I tell everyone who I think needs to hear this.
@@chexnfx7161 there will come a time where he won't lose weight once he hits a healthy weight. It's 100percent sustainable. He's loosing a ton of weight because he's following the standard American diet and is grossly overweight. The diet is easily sustainable.
A few years ago, I was borderline diabetic and I asked my doctor to give me a diet to help bring down my A1C. She told me, I could do that, but what you really need to do is quit eating out and cook whole foods at home and leave the processed foods alone. She said if it comes in a box it's processed. Just go to the store and buy raw meats, vegetables and fruits and cook your meals with that. I did what I was told, I lost about 8 lbs, but I wasn't obese before, and after about 6 months I went back to the doctor for my blood tests and I was no longer within the pre-diabetic range.
It is a pretty wild concept that every single cell in your body is made from food. The question is: are your cells sponsored by McDonald's or the natural world?
@@briandorsey6437 yes, but the quality is also important. McDonald's don't use grass-fed beef, it uses grain-fed. It doesn't use organic cheese, it uses just a regular cheese. It doesn't use organic onions and pickles, it uses gmo vegetables. All of this makes a difference later on.
In 14 months, the carnivore diet, completely healed me of chronic migraines and fatigue, and I was almost bedbound for the last two years I am now working and thriving!!!❤🙌🏻💯🥩🇨🇦
@patelien I had no idea how bad emulsifiers were and how they are in everything. Once I cut them out my diet became much more limited but I don't mind, I feel much better
There’s a German style beer hall in my town that has the greatest hamburger I have ever had in my entire life. It’s only $7 dollars, simple ingredients, nothing fancy. But the taste is as if it was prepared in heaven, near the throne of God… I can’t give that up. They make a good, good sandwich
It's funny that he mentions Brazil at the end. My wife is Brazilian and last year I went there for the first time to visit her family. I was absolutely astounded by how much better the food is in Brazil than in America. I've never eaten better in my life, nor eaten more, I never felt stuffed, never felt the need to snack, just ate large meals and felt amazing
I'm french and my wife is brazilian also. US Food is the worst. Brazilian foods tends to be more natural but they eat lots of sugars & Sodas... In France, we eat bread as Carb source (Not really better than Sugar) + More and more junk food + Wine / Beer explaining the growing obesity problems
@@ThePeterR66Yes, we eat a lot of sugar and soft drinks, but processed foods are not part of our diet. On a daily basis, we eat beans, meat, salads, rice, local fruit juice, vegetables, etc. It's usually people from big cities like São Paulo and Rio who tend to eat more industrialized foods.
The most EYE-OPENING moment in my life was when I began to follow the ketogenic diet. I have moved beyond that, but the most IMPORTANT thing it taught me was how much SUGAR I was ingesting without realizing it! Sugar is in EVERYTHING, and it makes you hungry so you go eat more of what they are selling. Or at least it does me! Start looking at labels, people. The amount of sugar you are ingesting will SHOCK you!
My maternal grandmother’s family was apart of a long term study in Roseto, PA in the 60s where they looked at why heart disease was so low in the area. A quick google search about the Roseto Effect will tell you that it has to do with family ties and being close to your family (which I do agree with), but having read through the original article and talking to my grandmother about it, the fact that they ate homemade pretty much everything is always left out of google’s answers. Homemade pasta, homemade sauce, homemade wine, self raised chickens and locally farmed hogs and cattle. There were little to no preservatives in their diet and it showed in their heart and overall health.
I think the homemade flour was the key. Think of someone that sells flour like they're a cocaine seller. If they have a pound of cocaine and add a pound of something cheap to it, they now have two pounds of what they're calling cocaine that they can sell, which means more money. I think the flour on the store shelf is like that cocaine. Part flour, part something really cheap that nobody would buy by itself.
My grandparents were Sicilian and always had a garden and raised their own animals for food. My grandmother made EVERYTHING from scratch. Hearty, healthy, hard working people who lived a long and healthy life.
That’s what I keep telling these meat fanatics. It’s not to surplus of meat they are eating it’s the removal of processed foods. As you know healthy populations do not overeat meat .
Over 8 years now I've been eating very low carb/high fat/high protein. Reversed T2 Diabetes, HB Pressure, Arthritis, and lost 75 pounds, I did that all in the first few months. For over 8 years now since I changed what I eat, I have never been sick. When on the Standard American Diet before that I was sick regularly. Not one single virus since I changed my diet. I'm 60, look 40, and feel like I'm 30.
That’s great news! My dad is 62 with diabetes and is now struggling to walk. Hopefully he can speak to his doctor and possible hop on the carnivore diet
But the things that helped you were cutting out all sugars and losing a substantial amount of weight, doing it with carnivore happened to work for you but like he said cutting out processed food and losing weight would have done the same.
@@powderandpaint14 true but you have to factor in age also. I am 53yrs old and when I take a break from carnivore I get sick RAPIDLY! This past one lasted 3 days and I swear i woke up with my right eye blood red and then day 3 I had a sharp pain coming from right eye. I also broke out in ezcema on my left elbow of which I have never had in my life. It all boils down to age and what you can an cannot eat.
Dr. Baker is my real life hero. I purchased his book, studied the diet and it was the best decision of my life. I started in March of 2022 when I was over 370lbs and horribly depressed with my life. Fast forward to today and I am 255lbs with perfect blodwork, no high cholesterol anymore, no depression, no energy crashes and no more body pain throughout the day. I also actually really enjoy working out. I owe my life to that change. I am very grateful for Dr. Baker.
The 4 pillars of health are: 1:Nutrition, you are what you eat, so eat a healthy diet. 2: Exercise, your body is designed to move, so move it in a significant way each day. 3: Stress management, stress is a killer, so learn to manage your stress. (Pray, meditate netc.) 4: Sleep, sleep is when your body cleans its systems and repairs damage. Get a good night's sleep.
A lot of work when all you have to do it eat meat and get the same results lol... But you be you even if you are eating toxins from vegetables and your body has to work so hard in removing the toxins and then has to try and move 85% (husk) through your intestines to finally get rid of it.
Why do we demonize everyone? Kellogg and SDA started at a time when infectious disease was the #1 cause of death. They believed meat introduced parasites to the body which is true. So stop vilifying the opposition. By the way, I'm keto/carnivore and Weston a price follower.
@@Parr_World lol no, that isn't how it works bud. Stop listening to grifter morons. Most "anti-nutrients" or whatever you want to call them get removed pretty easily by soaking, sprouting, or cooking the vegetables/legumes/grains What makes people healthy with regard to diet is not eating processed crap and sugar. You can absolutely thrive health-wise on a vegan diet if you actually know what you're doing
Chris Palmer, the psychiatrist Shawn Baker mentioned in this podcast would be a great guest for a future epidose. His book Brain Energy is a fascinating take on mental health!
Sir, Thankyou for having Dr Baker on your show again. I went carnivore 18mo ago, lost 104 lbs. and off all my medications plus an entire list of other improvements.
Dr. Shawn Baker is one of my heroes. At 71 y/o, wish I'd known what he teaches 30-40 years ago. Glad I got onboard at 65 y/o; have never felt better, and at my high school weight now over 5 years. Thanks for having Dr Baker on your show, he's the real deal.
I call BS, and that is not my personal experience either. I reversed my DB2, and A1c now ranges 5.1 to 5.4, over 3 years now, with NO meds. Please provide a link to support your claim@@yasseressa1696
Thanks Joe and Shawn Keep up the great work pushing the truth and making people aware… I stopped eating processed food, carbs and sugar… 18 months ago. I’m 5’ 8. I was 185 now a solid 160. I was on acid reflux meds for 25 years. With in one week of eating meat with some veggies my acid reflux went away. No acid reflux for 18 months. Blood pressure and cholesterol numbers are perfect… I could go on with many more positives … I feel great. I just turned 60
Been on and offcarnivore diet for 5 years. My body gets inflammation within a week of eating bread, flour, processed food etc. Carnivore diet makes me feel less sore and stiff all the time. Vegetables don't hurt anything. This is how my grandparents ate growing up in the 1930s. They were strong until switching to convenient microwavable meals.
What happens when your uric acid, homocysteine, and LDL increase? I know, you have results... but for how long... we are omnivores and not all meats are equal. Wild caught Sockeye salmon and Argentinian red shrimp are WAY healthier than red meat and fowl. I cured my prostatitis, gout, and lost 100 lbs. Your diet isn't sustainable or natural. Humans aren't carnivores and never have been. Eat some leafy green vegetables, tubers, roots, nuts, and berries. Your own teeth and gut prove that you're an omnivore. Our diet has always been primarily plant based, just like bears. High saturated fats coupled with high cholesterol are not healthy. You need low saturated fats with high cholesterol and polyunsaturated fats, such as fatty fish and shrimp. Omega-3 ALA, DHA, and EPA fatty acids are what we need. As well as Omega-9 (real olive oil). There is no way that red meat and fowl is healthier than wild caught Sockeye salmon and Argentinian red shrimp. Sardinians and Okinawans live the longest for a reason. A carnivore diet isn't sustainable. This is similar to how an ultra processed diet isn't sustainable.

@@scott2864there's a lot wrong with him though. He only recently acknowledged that you need to eat carbs for a healthy diet after lieing about this for many years to keep up book sales
Joe, Thank you so much for having Dr Shawn Baker on your show. I've been following him, and love what he's doing out here to help such a sick population! You both rock! Keep up the good work! This information needs to get out to more and more people, especially more doctors!
Been following Shaun and eating Carno for ten months. I am 62 and I have my youthful figure back and I am off of all meds and can do my health care worker job like I use to with zero pain. I am strong as a horse. Thank you carnivore diet for changing my life.
I've lived with boarderline insomnia and GERD most of my life, and thought it was just kinda how it would be because a lot of my family has the same issues, but then I went on the carnivore diet and within three weeks I quit snoring and slept a full night for the first time in 15 years. After a month I had lost nearly 30 pounds. My GERD disappeared and I could lay flat at night. I felt amazing, then the holidays rolled around and I cheated and started eating carbs again. The last few months have been hell. It's all came back, and confirmed that the weight loss wasn't what was helping my issues. It's the diet. The carnivore diet really does fix things, and I'm currently getting back on it. It takes a few weeks to get back into it, but I can't handle going back to how I used to feel.
It’s a good reminder the vast majority of normal GERD (which affects a huge portion of the population) is a mechanical issue of the opening of the stomach. Once you’re obese you’re going to have a weakened diaphragm muscle, bad posture, constant opening or poor closing of the stomach. The basic biology is that the diaphragm muscle controls the top of your stomach opening. Bad design by nature :p
I've been eating almost zero processed foods for 10 years. It, along with a good exercise regiment, has kept me incredibly healthy. I want to try going full carnivore. I went vegan for a couple months and never felt worse. My guts were torn up, I was cranky, had inflammation and started having kidney pains.
What was your diet like before you went vegan? You can't just jump from a primarily meat-based diet directly to an all-plant diet or you're going to get sick just like you've described Way more likely you just had little clue what you were doing, versus your anecdotal experience actually being indicative of plants being bad for you lol
Since i went carnivore i was finally able to get my fibromyalgia and related intestinal issues in order, I count myself incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon these carnivore advocates. Easily the biggest positive change I've had in my recent years so thank you to all the Doctors and fellow patients who have found this incredible truth!
What's the price range of the carnivore diet? Was it cheaper or more expensive than what your regular diet was? I got intestinal problems and was looking for a way to relieve the problems I have
I would like to get it out there how dangerous aspartame can be to some people. My late husband had episodes of such intense rage and total lack of self control . I noticed almost by accident that it happened every time he drank diet soda, then read a bit in the news aspartame can cause mood swings. His wasn't mood swings, it was far more intense, ripping clothes up, smashing things, even his face changed in appearance. He was so happy with this news that it wasn't a defect in him, it was a physical reaction he could now avoid. He could now determine it just wasn't diet soda but McDonalds hamburgers and processed meat as well. I stopped buying all this processed food, fast forward 15 years and my daughter calls me crying from University she thinks she is losing her mind, told me she ripped up her sweater in a rage. Had a flash back and told her you are not going crazy, you are having a reaction to aspartame. I know there are many undiagnosed people out there with this condition. I wonder what else is it doing to our brains
It's possible that aspartame could do that to somebody if they were very genetically different than most people but aspartame is not in hamburgers and such to those times might have been "real".
Absolutely not, I’m a very calm person and I was never scared of him, he never hurt me just inanimate objects. Every time he ate aspartame or chemical food additives his jaw started clenching and it was visible in his face. If you love your diet pop keep drinking it and might as well give it to your children
Sounds like he may have a case of phenylketonuria. On the back of a diet coke, it'll say people sensitive to phenylketonurics (aspartame is one) should not consume it. Google the symptoms of phenylketonuria, and temper tantrums/ rage is one of the top ones.
Just from personal experience as well. If you never buy desserts, chips, etc to keep around the house. Zero snacks besides protein bars, fruits, or plain popcorn, stuff like that. You stop craving the fake foods. If I gotta eat, I gotta cook. It slows me down from indulging if not makes it impossible to eat trash.
Please don’t eat energy bars or popcorn. Eat enough animal fat and protein first, then have veggies or fruit if you choose. It’s about the bioavailable nutrients in foods. 👍
@@jeannedigennaro6484 That's great for you, but you don't need to avoid grains to be healthy lol. So many people think they can watch a few RU-vid videos and read a few articles, and all of a sudden they're dietary experts lmao
@@Goldenboi77 I e read several books by doctors who explain how lectins damage the intestinal lining. For people with MS, it appears that gluten is one of the inflammatory agents. Humans were not designed to eat grasses/ grains. Ruminant animals are.

I never really ate tons of processed foods, but the carnivore diet has been great for me. It completely cured all of my acne and has made it super easy to stay lean. I've been eating this way since 2015 and I honestly can't see myself ever going back to eating plants.
Was told last November I had diabetes type 2. Went on rabbit food till January, HBA1C went from 77 to 44, then went on carnivore in January and had my blood tested last week: 35. Oh and I lost over 55 pounds since November and sleep apnea is gone. My doctor used the words : incredible and astonishing. Go carnivore.
Day 148 carnivore, at 69 in the best health of my life, no more BP meds, 45 lbs lighter, sleep like a log, no more food obsessions, spending WAY less on food, easy to water fast.... so grateful I went beyond my initial reaction and really looked into it!
for me it is WAY less expensive. That processed poison is extremely expensive per serving, (not to mention the extreme costs of health consequences!) and a lot of veggies and fruits purchased go to waste. Depends where you live and buy your meat, and what meats you purchase, of course.@@Lomogrammaton
@Lomogrammaton way, way, way the hell cheaper than any other diet. You naturally become a one meal a dayer, and if you eat things like burger and liver, you will eat about 2 lbs and not be hungry one spec for 24 hours. That's about 9 bucks a day. Thick proper ribeyes at BJ's (east coast costco) about 15 bucks per 1.25 lb. Pork rinds for a crunchy snack 2 bucks. It's the best! I feel ridiculously good every day.
Steps to take) Remove government from the food industry - Remove government from the research industry - Remove government from the agriculture industry - Remove government from the Education industry .......
I'm primarily protein based in my diet but I do allow myself other things occasional. It's amazing how fast your body composition shifts if you start consuming more processed foods. It's absolutely devastating stuff and that Nova study is scary as hell because they're just crunching numbers and concluding "yeah, it'll keep someone alive"
Great video Joe & Shawn.. Been doing Carnivore for almost 3 months ..Feeling much better..

The carnivore method of eating absolutely revolutionised my health. I can point to sauna, cold immersion and various other protocols as hugely beneficial however the backbone to this change over the last 2 years has absolutely been the focus on meat, liver and bone broth.

@@-blackcat-4749….I’ll take the saturated fats in high grade meats in moderation. However…monounsaturated fats of wild salmon is truly healthy. Saturated fats lead to high LDL, high Apo B’s atherosclerosis related issues. Not to say that the whole reason. Sugars, hydrogenated seed oils, and lots of empty carbs…also are a big part. That stuff is everywhere but easily avoided if educated. Our whole food and medical over sight agencies are all captured organizations. Ha!!! It wasn’t long ago I saw Lucky Charms on the food pyramid.
I'm not a big meat eater but eat what I can tolerate. Even if you don't go full carnivore, eating a Keto diet is transformative. It's amazing how good you feel in a few weeks. There are plenty of doctors on YT who outline what to eat and what to avoid, so there's no excuse! I was a sugar and carb addict for ages but no more.
In the end everyone are different and carnivore diet is definitely not for everyone. You just have to listen to your body what he wants and how you feel.
@@t0lex14wrong. It IS for everyone because its our species specific diet. Stop this garbage phrase : "eVeRyOnE iS dIfFeRenT" no, not interms of diet. Theres no lion that eats grass.

Oxalate filled plants? Hahahahahah
When I did carnivore for 30 days last year, I lost 15lb in that month, I slept better, I didn’t wake up groggy, I didn’t have one single headache, my energy was ridiculous, I was never bloated, my focus was great, and overall I felt incredible. The science behind this is real.
It most probably was not the carnivore diet but the missing of all the processed junk before. Almost the same would happen if for example you eat just legumes for 30 days
@@willnox1 hey! So in the morning it was Eggs/Bacon. Lunch was either tuna fish, duck, grouse or venison along with shrimp and hard cheddar cheese sticks since they have no sugar or carbs, and dinner was either steak, fresh fish from the lake, chicken breast, or pork chops.

Formerly a vegan, vegetarian, or whole food, mostly plant for the last 20 years. I am now on day 10 of my carnivore diet. I will say the difficult thing is the red meat I just don’t like it but I also must admit I am feeling better already I don’t wake up and have instant anxiety that I must begin to manage with meditation and affirmations and exercise, etc. it just isn’t there! I am willing to throw out everything I have been taught, certified in and even preached, because there was no denying that it was not helping my own physical health or mental health. So at almost 46, I have wiped the slate clean from all that I know to be healthy and I am starting a new experiment on myself following the carnivore and quite frankly 80% fat diet and I’m excited to see where this leads. Thankful for this community and these amazing doctors.
Current vegan. Takes a lot of work to stay healthy. You need borderline intermediate knowledge of nutritional science. Or just a hunger to find the right info. Health is a constant balance. But meat is purely a grade source of protein with b12. I wonder where you went wrong. The biggest issues, no matter how good you balance your plant-based diet are b12, iodine, selenium, omega 3, the rest are sometimes and maybe’s. Especially iodine. You’re going to get quite if you’re reintroducing dairy products. I always wonder how much is placebo and what you really needed. Because you can’t get around what’s really in the food.
@@nick-dq1hh Vegans are frequently deficient in calcium, iron, taurine, creatine, and other minerals too because they're either not available in plant foods and/or they're consuming loads of antinutrients from plants and legumes that are interfering with the absorption of several vitamins and minerals. Not to mention that the vitamins and minerals in vegan foods are far less bioavailable to humans than those in meat.
I’ve been on carnivore for over a month now. Just eating when I’m hungry and stopping when I’m full. I started due to skin issues, dandruff, aches, stomach issues. They started going away after a week. I’ve tried to reintroduce some foods but have had reactions to everything so far. I’m be found a good doctor thankfully who is fully supportive but f this and wants me to stay on it for a while. Additionally - I had SEVERE sleep apnea, stopping breathing 60+ times an hour. My wife said my snoring has finally stopped as well.
Dr Baker is a TRUE doctor and lives true to the hippocratic oath. And a \ doctor who has enough courage to stand up for the Truth and expose the corrupted ones. Thank you for boldly doing what many have yet to aspire to. And eating meat saves lives!
Not really. Maybe in the US. But here in the Netherlands, his perspective is very common among physicians...we always try to reduce hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesesterol first with dietary advice in stead of medication, and most patient I treat don not want medication anyway...some are able to reduce their blood pleasure, actually cute type II diabetes and cholesterol...but many do not and end up with medication on the long term. But we never start with medication as a first step.
I was so deadly sick as a type 1 diabetic with hormone issues and a severe histamine intolerance that was killing me. I was puking 24/7 sleeping for only 20 mins every 3 days, blood pressure dropping, not absorbing nutrients so blood sugar was dropping to 20 sometimes even 15 or 10 .. I had an ambulance at my house 2-3 times a week finding me ice cold & unresponsive on the floor. I was starving to death. No doctor would help me figure out what was wrong. My trauma therapist saved my life thanks to the work of this man, dr Ken berry, & Dr Georgia Ede. In a matter of a few weeks on a grass fed meat diet my life drastically changed. I was keeping food in. I was sleeping. I started healing my gut (which healed fast on the carnivore diet) my blood sugars started to stabilize.. when I’m in ketosis and fat adapted my blood sugars no longer effect me like they did on a carb diet.. if I drop to 60 I’m totally functioning talking and thinking.. even at 50 I can fully function… My complex ptsd symptoms drastically improved before I started auditory bilateral simulation emdr. My memory started working again. Life changing !!
There was my life before the carnivore diet and then my life since I started it about a year and a half ago. I was a slave to food for my entire adult life prior to the carnivore diet, and now at 51 I have zero cravings. I went from having a promiscuous / destructive relationship with food to a loving / nurturing relationship with food. Never going back
And yes, like most everyone else, I've lost a ton of weight. I went through a total body transformation. And my energy level never faulters. I sleep like a baby and am in beast mode during all waking hours. etc etc etc
The zero cravings is HUGE! I've experienced the same over last month since my wife and I began this amazing journey! Feeling awesome at 57! Better than my 30s!
When I first heard about the carnivore way of eating,I thought 'no way' but being an inquisitive person,I looked into it.Been carnivore 4 months now,NAFLD,gone,highBP,gone,pre diabetes,gone.Lost 25 lbs,more energy and an all over feeling of well being.Will be 70 next month and feel 40.So thankful for an inquisitive mind.
@@justinmclaughlin1953 Yes I eat eggs.3-4 every morning,sometimes with 2-3 stripes of bacon.(just plain bacon,no maple flavor,you always have to check)Some days I will have 1 cup of coffee with about a tbsp of butter.I never really get hungry for rest of day.For supper I either have a steak(if I find them on sale) or I will have cooked hamburger with an egg scrambled in,and parmasian cheese sprinkled on top.I make my own bone broth and drink maybe a cup,every several days.I also eat liver 2×week,instead of the steak or hamburger.I also eat chicken,and fish(wild only) which is hard to find.I have found that pork is no longer palatable for me anyway.I know it sounds really bland but really I don't miss any of the other food,and am quite satisfied.I do have plain pork rinds on hand if I really feel like a snack,and will dip them in cream cheese.I also grind the pork rinds for a coating on the liver.All in All I actually find it cheaper,and much less fuss,And I was a pretty good cook all my life and enjoyed it.But now I eat to live as opposed to living to eat.I have taken up walking because of the extra energy and walk 3-4 miles a day.I started this figuring I would do it for 3 months,I'm going into 5th month and no,I will never go back.Check out Dr Ken Berry's utube channel,he also has lots of info.
depending on the portion size of the liver, it would be safer to only eat once a week or eat 1 small piece a day. its so nutritious it can actually get you issues with hypervitaminosis.
Exactly one month into strict OMAD carnivore, down 17lbs, feel amazing. A lot of inflammation gone. Still a long way to go but my God the results are amazing. The hardest part isn’t cutting out the junk, it’s the people in your life who simply refuse to believe what you’re doing is healthy despite what’s in front of their eyes.
Dr. Shawn Baker deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. Carnivore diet saved my life and it's thanks to him, Dr. Ken Berry, and so many others in the carnivore community. Try carnivore for 30 days and see for yourself. It's life changing.
@@chuckleezodiac24 Yeah... No... You worded that terribly. Veggies and fruit did not make you obese. You following a poor diet made you fat. Eating slightly healthier made you feel healthier and look healthier. Magic.
I've been a whole food, organic, vegan for 10+ years. i cut out 90% of processed foods, sugar and unhealthy oils. i don't take any prescription drugs. I am healthier at 58 than I ever was at 40ish.
On carnivore for 10 weeks and honestly have never felt better. Been on so many other plans. Trying to heal from t2 D and anemia. So far I have lost 18 lbs , no more annoying cough I have had for like 10 years, eyebrows growing in fuller (hopefully head hair too, harder to tell), zero bloat, zero brain fog, and zero acid reflux.
I've been on the carnivore diet for about 4 months and I've lost 50 lbs and down three pant sizes. plus a lot more of other health issues that have gotten better. It's changed my life and saved it.
It has nothing to do with carnivore. You simply stopped eating shit food. Keep up carnivore long term and you won't feel so good when your heart is clogged.
I'm on hybrid carnivore diet (for a while) and all my blood work has gotten better, I don't crave any foods and now rarely eat carbs and no processed foods. Never felt better
I changed my diet several years ago to low carb and whole foods. I was able to stop taking several thousand dollars worth of prescription medication, some with nasty side-effects. I feel much better and my autoimmune disease symptoms are dramatically better. I dropped over 30 lbs and my weight hasn't fluctuated more than 5 lbs in over 6 years. I don't monitor calories at all, only carbohydrate intake.
Great show again....Get Thomas Seyfried on the show, his work on cancer needs to get a platform like this. It is a crime that his findings are not publicly known.
I do the 30-day carnivore diet two to three times a year, and have done so for almost a decade now. When I'm not in a carnivore phase, I eat real foods and only real foods (basically paleo, but I don't call it that). Here's the bottom line: Eat a mix of whatever you want, but always live by this one rule: If there's an ingredients list, don't buy it and don't eat it. This keeps me out of most restaurants (dinner salads are the best way to go if you're forced), but aside from that, it's easy once you get used to it. No bread, no pasta, no desserts, no chips, no sodas, no cereals, no frozen anything.... just real food. When I get a salty snack craving, I eat bacon or jerky... when I get a sugar craving, I eat fresh fruit. Done... it's a simple lifestyle, but only if you make it a permanent one.
In May of 2023 I was 281 lbs and dealing with a diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis since 2018 which progressed to fibrosis in the lungs . I couldn’t walk 50 ft without my 02 dropping into the 80’s . I started a diet on May 17 and a month later went full carnivore . By August I stopped using my Tellegy Ellipta inhaler and now average 4-5 mile walks and doing strength training again. My current weight is 210 and still dropping My A1C went from 5.7-5.2 My psoriasis cleared up the first month My BP is averaging 110/68 now All my blood work is normal except my lipid My ldl went up to 232. But my triglycerides are stable in the low 90’s and my HDL is improving by about 9-10 points at 40. Carnivore is giving me my life back .
I'm a 2nd year medical student with an autoimmune disease myself and I'm going to keep your case in mind! I can't prescribe a carnivore diet, but I won't hesitate to mention it to other people like us who just don't have any other options
@@CAM-hc8ip I had my first primary visit since starting this WOE and he couldn’t hear what I was saying about this diet . He did as most others have done and contribute my improvements to my weight loss . The weight loss has been a positive side effect of the WOE . I’m suspecting my pulmonologist will do the same when I speak with him tomorrow. I’m just thankful I’m getting some normality back at 52 . Thank you for the encouragement
@@jgeph2.4 I'm at a Top 10 medical school in the country and that doesn't surprise me. Most people would be surprised to learn that their doctors just learn everything from PowerPoint slides handed down generation to generation, not even bothering to get into the studies that proved those facts. We also almost never mentioned nutrition other than confirming that being obese is detrimental. I have Wegener's Granulomatosis (Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis) and I've tried carnivore for over a month. Other than the diarrhea, it might be the best I've ever felt and the most muscle I've ever packed on in a period of time. Unfortunately it's unsustainable for me in my current circumstances, but if my disease ever flares up again, it's straight back to fasting and carnivore diet again 100%.
@@CAM-hc8ipyour patients are going to be lucky with a doctor like you. I have a good doctor now, but one thing I have never understood is why doctors in general don’t tell their patients other than cutting down on processed foods, go out and find a diet that works for you and makes you feel better. They literally give you the food chart and tell you to follow that. When it’s clearly not a one size fits all model.
Back in the 90's I needed to loose a lot of weight. I went on the Atkins Diet, and lost the weight very quickly. I have to say that once I got over the initial carb withdrawals, I felt great. It's easy to follow, you never feel hungry between meals, it's surprising the small portion sizes that will satisfy you and you stop eating many processed foods. I never tried Carnivor, but I would imagine it is similar.
Before all the Keto and carnivore diets I found that the Atkins diet was the only diet that worked for me. Going vegetarian and exercising didn't do anything. Counting calories didn't do anything. Eating less than 20grams of carbs per day is the only thing that has allowed me to lose weight. That and fasting.
Joe, excellent job for providing a platform to Carnivore community leaders. Now you must extend it to Dr. Sean OMara, and provide him the full episode. This is your public service. Dr. Omara is the next level and deserves your attention.
I am a 5 month carnivore lion dieter. In that time, I saw a Dr and got blood work done in the beginning and 1 month ago. I lost 81 lbs, doubled my testosterone (also reversedto nothing gynecomastia), lowered my BP to 100/70, released and properly positioned my right sciatic nerve and rebuilt a 15 year dead hip to ankle right leg. I reversed type 2 diabetes to normal. I was manic depressive bipolar and now I have never had a down day or a manic one since 2 weeks in. I got rid of all but one patch of plaque psoriasis, which I had everywhere. Got rid of GERD, snoring, and sleep apnea. My skin looks so damn good, and I wake up with wood every day ( a sign of healthy cardiovascular and hormonal health). I feel I have de-aged 30 years. I am 53. Fatty ruminant meat and liver is the way for me, and now it always will be because I feel fregin amazing and crave nothing else. It's a minimalist dream as well. It's quick, easy, and cheap. Meat is the way!
When I was a kid in 1970s.. grocery stores where do much much smaller simple basic foods... Hardly any processed foods ..Now stores are huge 60-70% are processed foods 😮
Those bidet attachments, even the really cheap ones are awesome! Especially if they are connected to hot & cold water and have temperature regulation! A Wl comfortably warm water stream can be ask amazing solution for even severe constipation as it both relaxes the sphincter and begins to break up even write compacted waste. It is also very good to follow up a BM with a little enema/stream in order to evacuate the last little bit that generally ends up remaining there until the next movement, which is not healthy and has been limited to colon and prostate issues.
I had a problem with farting all the time and while looking in to it it was becouse of this thing called SIBO where you have microbes in the wrong place and to get wride of it you have to cut fiber to kill the microbes so I went carnivore. Not only did my farting stopped completely I have had bad acne my entire youth and I havent had a single pimble after I started eating like this. I wake up feeling well rested and getting up from bed is effortles. But the biggest suprise was what it did to me mentally. I have had problem with depression and anxiety that went away allmost completely and I also have pretty bad ADHD and eating like this has made me super calm and increased my ability to focus greatly. I was eating ”healthy” before this stuff like oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, meats, rice, pasta, protein shakes stuff like that and exercising everyday but the wellbeing I feel on this diet is on a whole nother level. So if you have any of these issues give it a shot I really beleive a lot of you might be as suprised as I was. Try it for a month what do you have to lose? Really made me question how much these people care about your health and how much they care about the money you will give them from these heatlh issues.
All you have to do is eat under your calorie maintenance to lose weight. Everything else is noise. Low carb, keto, paleo, carnivore, vegan. It’s all a scam. Eat less, do more. It’s so simple but everyone has to profit and make books off everything else. You can eat what ever you want as long as you’re in a cal deficit you’ll lose weight. The rest is noise .
I was at Walmart recently, shopping my usual selection. Some fruit, some veggies, water. Coconut flour, almond flour, butter, eggs, chicken, beef. Whole milk, some greek yogurt. Mostly healthy I would think. One of the isles, a lady rolls past me and her about 14 year old. One shopping buggy each. Filled to the brim with: instant soups, sodas, beer, cereals, oreos, cookies, crackers, pudding cups, instant dinners, chips, etc. Did not see one thing in there NOT processed and full of additives, chemicals and garbage. Highly paliative foods. All of it. How can anyone fuel their body like this is beyond me.
As I've aged, physical activity levels have declined and my weight has drastically increased I've tried a couple of different diet routines, including whole food vegetarian diets where I'd try to eat more greens, veggies, paired with rice and eggs. The vegetarian diet maintained my weight; I gained nothing but lost nothing. So a few months ago I did a stretch of just nothing but tuna, lean chicken, eggs, and steak. Two meals a day, ate until I was feeling full. Felt like a champ. Dropped 20 lbs like it was cool. My energy levels haven't been like that since I was in my 20's.
