Before I started I had a horrible, whole grain, seed oil, ultra processed diet. All in the name of health. I did paleo for a couple of months, then keto for a month or two and finally full carnivore. I had zero problems, or side effects, at all. No "keto flu", no digestive upsets. Nothing. That was 90 pounds (and counting) ago.
It seems to me that the people that struggle the most on carnivore are the ones that go straight to carnivore from the SAD. The people like me that went low carb, real food no processed foods, no added sugar type diet seem to adjust better. I also started doing intermittent fasting, including prolonged fasts before carnivore. Once I finally wrapped my head around the fact that carnivore is the proper human diet, I was ready and had no problems making the switch.
500 lbs lost doing the carnivore diet! I come from a morbid obese family. Carnivore has given mr “the off switch” I never had. I was broken, failed many diets, failed lap band surgery. Genetics are the same, but thanks to carnivore I am healthier at 52 and look better than I did in my 20s. Fruit snd vegies triggers cravings for me. Carnivore works for people like me that are broken. Food freedom at last. Thank you Dr Baker ❤
Yeah, I wanna know where the part is that he’s going to say what the biggest mistake is… The reason I jumped down here to the comments cause that ticked me off that she just cut it off there
The day I discovered carnivore and realized I never had to eat grass clippings again was the happiest day of my life. You mean, I can eat all the meat I want and not feel guilty? Total win.
Been carnivore for 18 months. Lost 173 lbs in one year. Started at 340 now 167. 4x to a medium shirt. No blood pressure issues all blood work good!! I'm the healthiest I have ever been in my 54 years of of existence!!
@@ddub2460 this is super encouraging to me. I started carnivore July 1st and I’m starting at 335.8lbs. Day three and I’m down 5 pounds so far with no cravings.
@@saiosonstower9439 I'm about two months in, keep in mind that your first 10-20 pounds is often retained water weight and comes off very quickly in the beginning. Please don't be discouraged if your progress slows to a pound every two or three days, that's perfectly normal. Good luck and best wishes
@@Pressingontoperfection Just a little warning, working out improves your health in many wonderful ways and it's important to pair it with weight loss especially because it protects from losing muscle while losing weight and dropping fat, but working out itself will not help much for the purpose of losing weight. Cardio will a little bit, but strength training almost not at all. I say it's 90% diet and cutting the incoming calories because it's super easy to go sweat and work for two hours and wipe out all the caloric expenditure you just did with a single snicker's bar. Better to focus on incoming calories if you're trying to cut.
I did long term vegetarian diet for 20+years. Ended up woth hypothyroidism, severly anemic and 40+ lbs over weight.... 12 days into carnivore and i feel incredible!
Of course, a vegetarian diet is the same as a diet eating meat. Both diets are unhealthy and polluting your blood and making red blood cells sticking together in a coating of saturated fat and cholesterol. Both diets are abusing animals and destroying our planet earth. Mixing animal products and veggies is the worst diet as a polluted body is no longer to digest healthy veggies. So eating only meat is just avoiding the symptoms and still polluting your blood. But you can feel temporary relief not longer having to deal with indigestible veggies.
reversed t2d, hypertension ,psoriasis, reflux, knee and joint pain lost 80 lbs started Keto then went carnivore 1 1/2 yrs on live style 63 yr old female
I been eating meat about 90 percent. Some grapes and a bit of chocolate. My psoriasis is spreading and more itching and shedding. What was your experience with psoriasis specifically? Thank you so much.
I’m a female 44, tried all the diets, vegan,raw vegan, fruitarian and paleo. Detoxed with juicing. Lost my period, diagnosed with Hashimoto disease, ibs and insulin resistant. Crazy amount of bloating and very gassy all the time. Carnivore diet is the only one I avoided cause I’ve been programmed to believe meat was toxic and very acidic for the body. Been on carnivore for 4 days on its life changing it was almost overnight. I feel my body finally relaxing and my hunger is finally satisfied. No more craving 😂
I have similar story I did all fruit than all vegetables insulin resistant bloated all the time dry mouth crazy start only meat all those things are gone
@@TravelingMissD fruit got me really insulin resistant I mean it messed me up I got on fruit diet try watermelon for some time only watermelon I could feel my pancreas begging for help I think the sugar was jut messing me up than I tried veggies same thing not as bad soon as did meat only my organs started to calm down start feeling better now I’m beginning to think caucasian people specially we from Europa think we good just eating meat because our ancestors that’s all they were eating been cold over there they would just kill and eat I’m guessing
❤❤❤❤ now I believe this Caucasian people are meant for carnivore and people of color I meant to eat something like the Mediterranean diet @@leonidtodorovski635
Same! Plus fibromyalgia. I had the same mind blowing experience. I’m only 4 months in but still can’t remember a time in my life when I felt better. Carnivore diet absolutely saved my life.
I started carnivore October 2023. I did fall off the wagon a few times, however I got right back to carnivore. I’m 74 now and people think I’m 60. I’ve lost 25 pounds, I lost six dress sizes and I feel great. Everyone should be carnivore. Thank you, Dr. Baker!
If being a Casual Carnivore moves you one step towards better Health then don't sweat the small stuff. Carnivores must avoid becoming the Meat Police like their main nemesis the Vegan Justice Warriors.
I'm Male, 44, 5'9" started carnivore in October 2023 at 232 lbs, have been doing OMAD Carnivore with moderate exercise, and today May 8th, 2024 I weighed in a 164 lbs, that is 68 lbs of weight loss, and my final goal is another 20 lbs. Being fat is a choice and I am holding myself accountable!
I was at the supermarket a couple of days ago. I went to get some heavy cream and there was a woman standing there taking a pint of heavy cream that had carrageenan in it. I interceded and said "Hey, this other cream over here is better it doesn't have carrageenan in it." She asked what is carrageenan and I explained. She wasn't familiar, she thanked me and she got heavy cream without any additives. She saw that it was slightly more expensive but I explained what carrageenan does to us and why it's better to not eat it. She was open to learning and I spoke for a couple of minutes, not too long and made a couple of additional recommendations. It felt good to help a stranger. Hopefully she takes the breadcrumbs and learns more and it is beneficial to her and her family.
I kinda giggled about the heavy cream. I found that it was nearly impossible to find anything. It’s all no fat or pasteurized to death. So how does a person know which type is best? I have been using it for carnivore ice cream. Such a great treat by the way 😊
Heavy wiping cream needs a theme song all its own And never should it have carrageenan from seaweed as a thickener etc. Polysorbate 80 Don't consume that garbage if you can help it I think eating raw cow patties would be more nutritious than some of what corporations wanna sell us .anyone ever heard of codex alimetarious ? It's a unilateral or universal Agreement to not provide any nutritious food to the public at any price They adulterate irradiate and or poison herbicide pesticide pasteurize as infinitum But they don't admit the crime They lie at every level Much like politicians and the courts Who coincidentally will protect them like a baby formula producer The world is crazy If the FDA warns you not to eat something It means there is nutrition in it !!!! If they say it's safe and effective It's poisonous and will make you sick or kill you quick They don't discriminate but kill all colors creeds economic bases religions etc. nor incriminate anyone guilty You must learn to read between the lines or be fed to the lions
I ran into the same situation involving yogurt and cottage cheese in the dairy aisle. I started talking to a woman and showing her the different labels and comparing three different brands. The employee stocking the dairy shelf wandered over and listened in. Yes - people have no idea what they’re eating. Before departing, I left them with my favorite motto and it’s one that keeps me on the wagon. It’s worked for years! Any food that is linked to a television commercial should probably not be consumed! 😮
I went vegetarian for a year in the early 2000s, endedup in my ND's office with optic-neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve). That was the beginning of my MS journey Officially diagnosed in 2018. Currently unable to move my body through the world unassisted. Systemic body numbness. Loss of motorskills. Started the carnivore diet today. No expectations, but goal (hope) is to regain my body. I would love to hike, Zumba, weight train, run 5ks and adventure scrambles again!
It's horrible that no doctor or nurse or anyone who takes your blood, measures your blood lipids or sends you to do bloodwork talks to you about the fasting beforehand, what to or not to eat. Nothing. I simply got sent from the doctor's office straight to the lab at 8AM and my lipids came back like I was fit for the ER. Triglycerides 3x what I usually have, HDL 30% lower, LDL 30% higher... It took me a days worth of Googling to find out that's what happens when you've had three burger patties and eggs with bacon the night before. Nobody asked me anything, they just almost fainted and scolded me on how I've been eating. I did a 24 hour fast that same day and went the next morning to do the test again and paid for it - trigs back to normal, HDL up, LDL down. It's shameful, they just give you shit for what you do to help yourself, yet they ask or do nothing but prescribe a painkiller or a statin or say "Eat less meat and fat." Motherfu... I just LOST 64 pounds eating meat and fat and got my trigs down and HDL up, f... off.
Fasting is what you normally don't do. So wouldn't the blood tests you took while NOT fasting be more accurate to what your real day-to-day diet and blood is?
@@uowebfoot I eat once a day, so my blood isn't filled with lipids all day long. After a meal it gets absorbed, transported around by blood and then used as energy and/or stored. After that, since I don't eat carbs, I use the stored fat and my body is releasing and using what it needs, it doesn't just dump a bunch of fat from my belly into the bloodstream. That's the accurate state of my organism through the day.
So what do you recommend for us carnivores before they take our blood? Fasting for 24 hours? Last time they told me to fast for 12 hours but my dinner night before was just like yours.
@@uowebfoot Those tests results are designed to be done fasting only. Each time those tests are ordered you should be instructed exactly how many hours to fast. They are looking for a base line. You can only get that with everything out of your system. I once mentioned to the Dr that I had a sip of diet tea & he made me do the test over. Your Dr , his office are all remiss & frankly sloppy in their care if you have not had proper instructions prior to testing, Your lab personal should verify you are fasting before they draw you. I know, I have been a nurse for 15 yrs.
The initial weight he is losing is water, the carnivore diet has no carbs and your body needs water to store the excess carbs. The good news is, his body will deplete the glycogen stores and need to fuel itself, thats when it will start to metabolize the fat stores. I hope he sticks with it, anything is healthier than being 300+ lbs.
I’m in the same time of life. It takes a while for your bodies hormones to adjust to a proper human diet and naturally balance hormones. I went through a tough transition period also but after about 6 months… my body finally recovered and at 57, my horrific periods stopped as they should and inflammation and hot flashes also. Just hang in there and do it right. It’s a commitment between yourself and health… like a marriage, stay faithful 😊
I’m 50 and estrogen dominant. I had a hysterscopy (same as a colonoscopy, but in the uterus). I had constant bleeding and they removed a lot of polyps. I also have fibrcystic breast disease and a cyst on each ovary. My Obgyn put me on progesterone to keep my uterine lining thin. I just recently did some research on this supposedly bio identical progesterone and it has soy in it. I should not have soy with my current hormone issues. I’m considering stopping this pill and just going strictly carnivore to fix my hormones. I have noticed that if I eat enough animal fats that my hot flashes pretty much disappear.
Day 461 I’m still waiting. I know I can’t eat carbs but the carnivore diet just has failed for me. Doin a sardine fast right now. I keep praying I get better.
After spending half my life cooking balanced meals for my family, it is just soooo amazing to just slap a steak in the pan! We mix and match different meats, but always quick and easy
A 'balanced' diet is just a way for the Establishment to hide the real culprits for poor health. A bit like 'team work' in the workplace: you can't tell who's the slacker and who's actually doing the job.
I stopped carnivore after 6 months and it’s been steady downhill ever since. I need to get back on it. Life just feels draining on a normal ”healthy” diet.
I quit and went back to Atkins. Carnivore don't work on me because I work a desk job and don't really exercise anymore. I lost 25 lbs in 4 months but that's it.
I started carnivore as part of a AIP protocol . I have many food allergies and auto immune problems. I started 1-24-2024. As if date I am down 43 lbs, but the best part is I have virtually no imflammation issues. I no longer have cravings. I have energy. I feel good! I dont have to take the daily allergy prescriptions. I have tried introducing back in asparagus, cabbage and brussell sprouts as they are low carb and low histomine reaponse foods. Due to being allergic to poultry and lactose I have not had dairy products, poultry meats or eggs since starting. I tried to eat a boiled egg and my eyes swelled badly. So my diet is pretty plain. Red meats and fish. Occassional bacon and pork products. But I feel good , which motivates me!
Omgeee I've been getting red itchiness under my eyes since I started eating more carnivore but I totally eat eggs and dairy...hmmm...I just had an ah ha momment. Thanks!
I have been low carb, high protein, healthy fat (90 percent carnivore) for about 4 years, and will never go back to UPF, white powders, white starches, seed oils, or sugars again. At 71 years old, have been at high school weight (170s) for 4+ years, and nothing tastes better than being skinny feels.
You can eat plants and still be a healthy weight. I eat all kinds of fruit and am fit and healthy. You don't have to go from eating junk food to eating nothing but meat.
Did carnivore for three months last year. Lost some weight at first, had less inflammation. But by the end, I felt creaky and id not feel good. Started Carnivore again a few weeks ago, this time I am eating a ton of fat along with my streak. Lots of butter. I feel great, joints feel great, and I am losing weight. I am way more satiated. I think Dr Bright recommends 70-80 % of calories should come form fat. It's working for me.
@tinamartin4381 what kinda fats were you able to absorb? Did it work immediately or you had your trial n errors? Also you gained weight at the right places? No belly , cellulite etc
ME - I was a rugby player, carpenter, bricklayer, scaffolder, removalist, bodybuilder, Infantryman etc.. I am very physical and have been on MANY diets over a couple decades to try and keep up or find the best means to keep up my activities. In one year carnivore has the been the ONLY diet that made me feel younger again, my bones and joints especially have been the most noticeable, to my friends my skin has been the most noticeable change and my regular compliment is that I am aging backwards and look 10-15 years younger. My doctor has supported me wholly as his witnessed my bloods etc before I started to now. This is just me though, everyones different.
Potatoes, bread, pasta etc. will turn into sugar once it’s in your mouth and gets chewed. Saliva breaks the complex carbs into simple sugars. You can test this out with Glucostix, ( formerly used to test sugars in urine by diabetics) by testing your saliva,
Soy, casein in dairy, corn,and gluten all can cause issues for some people. The act of cutting all,carbs and running of of fat opens another metabolic pathway though and mimics fasting.
@user-lz5cf5mz2h I've cut put all ultra processed food, but eat a small amount of pasta,potato or rice per day. It's early days but starting to notice changes to my belly size. Sleeping better,no after lunch slump and indigestion is much better
Great program, I was diabetic, insulin and pills, went carnivore at 67, I’m now insulin and pill free with normal A1c, blood pressure and no inflammation. It works I’m glad to be fat adapted having left the carb adapted lifestyle.
I ate a NY strip steak for lunch. I'm still not hungry! People pay $15 for McDonald's, they're hungry 4 hours later. I paid about $8 for that delicious steak. I might be hungry tomorrow, maybe. I weigh 163. I want to tone up. I am very slowly! But I'm not overly obese! Keep working hard bruh!
So true. It’s like the old days when I would go out and have sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. I could eat two servings and blow up like a balloon. An hour later I was starving for another serving. It’s those bad carbs that make us hungry and sick
This is actually a great point. You can get a whole meal of carbs for the same price as a juicy steak, but that steak will keep you full much much longer and be way healthier.
I have been 31 days on Carnivore, won't lie, i have nibbled on chips, etc, felt guilty. Never went overboard! 2nd week, I was having cramps and fatigue, and I wasn't feeling great. I've pasted a month, and I've lost 3kgs, nothing too dramatic. I've wanted to feel good inside, with my IBS and GERD. That part has worked for me. My tummy was jammed up with fiecies. I was constipated until the 3rd week, my goodness. I went to the toilet and was amazing. I feel like a new person! Thankful. I am at the same weight, only have lost 3kgs. But overall, I am happy with my inner self. Problems have become less problematic for me. I've had 8 babies, 38 years old, and my tummy is at its greatest. I can fit a skirt around my waist properly. Weight will come off later on, but my health is on pont. Butter, eggs, meat, and sea salt on a poor budget. I can't afford to eat tremendously like our youtubers lol with a pressure cooker or an air fryer 😅 I eat what makes me feel good and when I feel hungry. And so far, the stomach is healing.
I like this interview format and the ease of commenting and reading comments. I do not care for any background music or fancy graphics as I mostly listen while driving. I do like supporting graphs when I am watching but usually I just listen. Thanks very much!!
I've been off and on Carnivore diet for the past few years... After gaining weight and not feeling great after eating too many processed carbs, I decided to be more strict, and also cut out dairy. Wow, I forgot how good it feels to be in ketosis, and not always driven by cravings... This diet works.
I was raised vegetarian (SDA) and had terrible digestive issues. When I left home, I started eating meat, mostly fast foods, and I started feeling better, then in the early 1990's I found that celiac is in my family so I tried giving up gluten which helped as well. Now, in my late 60's I've just come to carnivore about a year ago. I've been dabbling at carnivore and impressed with results, even in a couple of days, I just feel better! Now, I am working to get more diligent and expect better results as I get better at maintaining...
I’m 73 and I’m going to die from something. This and Keto helped me lose 100 pounds. I feel good so I’ll stay with it except for an occasional cheat day. Thanks for the imfo
I quit using heavy cream, just butter in my coffee and I'm using less and less stevia too. I'm going to start eating breakfast, because I think I'm undereating. I feel the best on this diet.
Try making your own bone soup and start your day with that seasoned to taste and have your coffee afterwards. After awhile my coffee craving reduced significantly. Go black coffee now and then and hide the stevia. Takes a bit of experimenting but it's worked for me at 77. Noticeably stronger throwing 50lb grain bags and reduced arthritis. Never crave snacks anymore. In my 9th month carnivore.
Coffee and butter doesn't taste that bad and is a good way to get extra fat in your diet. Getting enough fat and protein is crucial I think breakfast of eggs and coffee with butter works well.
@@tonystonebrakerI agree. When you "break it down" (pardon the pun), it all makes sense. Carbs are brewing, somewhat fermenting in stomach, especially if sluggish digestion or low acid. That gas will be belched, though mostly will travel through bowels creating uncomfortable bloating, cramps and bad flatulence, sometimes breathing difficulty and much else
When I started I had blood pressure medication, but I kept an eye on it. Until I found my blood pressure getting low and called my doctor. Then the doctor told me to quit the medicine but keep an eye on my blood pressure. Now months later my blood pressure is like 108/69 I feel so good ❤
love this! I did keto for around 6-7 years and did great until I started eating “so called keto garbage”, and dr Shawn is 100% correct and cravings, most keto people substitute their regular food with a keto option instead of giving it up, bread for example and desserts. It’s best to give up those foods for life! Meat Meat and More Meat!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
keto garbage are store bought processed foods. Make real food on keto is simple. Carnivore is way too expensive and hard socially. I do keto with plenty of meat.
I just keep it simple. I do not spend a lot of time in the kitchen trying to create look alike carnivore foods. I do make chaffles as replacement burger buns or breakfast sandwiches. Other than that, I just eat simple meat, eggs, butter.
I enjoy listening to your style of delivering Rina. Clear voice and no unnecessary interjections/ interruptions and allowing your guests to present the important information and practical too. I've been diagnosed with AFIB for a few years but have only recently became a real concern. Heart rate was lower and doctors mentioned invasive intervention (brought on by stress and high oxalate food i believe) That prompted me to seriously consider carnivore diet. I'm 4 weeks into it now and feeling a big difference. And with faith I'm discovering what works for me a 62yr young female. Blessed also to have found grass fed and good meat suppliers in NSW Oz. Thank you for all your endeavours to inform and support your community with your guests knowledge. Tulou.
Hi, @molalivapulu5515 I too, have AFib going on four years now and am searching for ways to help myself that don’t involve toxic drugs, as I’m finding the side-effects difficult to handle., I’ve decided that the carnivore diet is worth a try, so plan to transition to keto first then on to carnivore. I’d be very interested to know how you’re finding the diet and whether it’s made any improvements to your AFib. Thank you!
I totally agree! What the hell I'm starting tomorrow I promise! Great interview. I have bad right hip arthritis and I'm tired of being tired. Cleaning my fridge and doing a meat prep for 7 days and not looking back.
That's what worries me alittle..long term effects of carnivore? Enough vitamins and minerals in meat? And to eat same things every day, Every meal...as I wouldn't want the nitrate filled processed meats...so that only leaves a few things..is that sustainable..or are some plants alongside that I enjoy, salads..acceptable in small amounts, or that defeats the purpose. Wondering if people are tired of same meats..and then quit..
What people know about what safe & not safe is based on misinformation propaganda and biased research paid by people who want you to eat junk and garbage and make a profit from it! Americans seldom got heart disease until we started eating garbage from the industrial age forward!
We look forward to each and every meal with relish. My husband says he has never left the table unsatisfied. There are so many types and cuts of meat, ways to cook meat to keep it deliciously long term. Not looking to change ever. If your getting bored with it, your not changing it up enough.
I love the carnivore diet because I have abused my metabolism for more than 60 years and it's helping me to heal. However, I found some data showing that back in the 1930's people hardly worked out, they ate more sugar and carbs than today and obesity was a mere 10%. Average daily intake was almost 3000 kcal (if you believe such measures) and even desk clerks were slim, so I primarily blame the ultra processed food combined with the industrial oxidized polyunsaturated seed oils. What do you think?
Back then, living life was a workout... Everyone walked, rode bicycles and were generally more active... Adding those crap "foods" was just to send society in a downward spiral, health wise...
You are correct .The way food is overly processed causes effects on our blood glucose , insulin ,leptin ,lipids .We are bio-hacked by our Staple diet in a chronic way that slowly but surely upsets our metabolic health.
Glad we have a forum to discuss. Helps me process it and subsequently challenge my sugar addiction causing so much damage in my body…the comment…”they ate more sugar than today”. Would need to see data on that. Seems unlikely. There is sugar in nearly everything in the grocery store today. And an astounding abundance of food-like substances laced with sugar. Then add to that gluten and seed oils and we have a recipe for disaster.
Growing up in a large family, we did eat a lot of rice, beans, potatoes, etc. But not processed food. We didn't go out to eat. And we were outside a lot.
Great interview and perspective on the carnivore diet! Still working on my healing journey, but I find this way of eating to be so practical and beneficial to continue flourish in life! I also like carnivores are happy people, I associate that with healthy!🙏🏽😍💜
Dr. Shawn baker is intelligent and decent. Balanced, knowledgeable, honest and objective. I watch his videos every day and it's always a pleasure to hear what he has to say. Much respect!
You should watch the movie “The Road to Wellville” It’s about John Harvey Kellogg, who ran an SDA sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan. It’s funny on purpose but reflects a mindset of the time. He and his brother developed Cornflakes and other breakfast foods. They were basically food hucksters and snake oil salesmen. No real science behind any of it.
This is the best carnivore interview I’ve watched. Thank you for sharing this fantastic information. I’ve been carnivore for about a year and a half and have lost 85 pounds coming from 307 pounds.
When I started the Carnivore diet roughly three months ago, I wasn't fully committed-not due to lack of discipline, but because I didn't know what, when, and how much to eat. After about three weeks of watching and learning from RU-vidrs like Rita and Dr. Shawn Baker, I adjusted my Carnivore lifestyle and now I'm no longer preoccupied with meal decisions or quantities.
Yes folks say meat is expensive. It is if you want to eat 2 + lbs grass fed grass finished ribeyes that run $24 + a pound. Your best cost is hamburger which can be fixed different ways. Also look for a roast on sale, flat iron steaks, stew meat on sale. If the meat is too lean add some beef tallow. I personally like 4 ounces fat per pound or in my burger I will get a minimum 80/20 or 75/25. A slow cooker works wonders. Then throw in a periodic ribeye or New York strip.
I found buying in bulk is the most economical way to do carnivore. In my country you can easily save $10 per kilo if you are willing to cut your own steaks, and then freeze the surplus till needed. Yes, it's more expensive up front - but you are saving in the long run and perhaps buying cuts that you might not be able to afford to do regularly otherwise.
I worked across the hall from Dr. Baker whole in the AF. Even saw him for an ortho issue. Nothing but respect here. Hearing his scientific and personal observations are compelling me to give up all the concept I was taught in medicine of the "normal" diet.
Great video. Been following Dr. Baker for a few years. I had tried to "reduce meat" and became bloated, flatulent, and just tired. Moved to mostly meat (I still have cooked vegetables once in a while.) and feel so much better!
You should try food enzymes to help you digest certain gassy foods until your microbiome readjusts. Years of eating the standard American diet has harmed most people's microbiome so they have trouble with some plants.
@@Isaac5123 plants are what Feed grass fed beef, so how can they be nonsense? It's stupid to limit yourself to a handful of foods. And there is no scientific Data suggesting it's healthy for you or increases longevity. So why do it?
@@mrmaxcarter2306 I also have had multiple surgeries, which has formed scar tissue in my stomach. About ten years ago, I was eating tons of salad and very low fat. I developed massive abdominal pain and ended up in the hospital. The scarring had blocked the movement of the undigestible vegetables and I spent four days with a tube down my nose to extract the junk. While I do eat vegetables on occasion, I prefer bacon, beef, fish, chicken, and eggs. I also absolutely love iced Americano drinks (unsweetened and decaffeinated) and drink one or two per day. I love putting various seasonings on my steak and will eat curries, especially when my 21-year-old son makes them.
I did a few meals of sautéed cabbage and beef a while back just because was feeling bloated on only meat. And damn it if it didn’t help. I can’t explain it but I was craving it. I don’t want to get to carried away with the whole thing of 100% of veggies are bad. Just very very little veggies are sometimes a good thing
I can compare " healthy vegetarian diet" to carnivore because my house mate is organic veg,meat and carbs and sugar but is bloated, has diarrhea a lot,over weight and tired most of the day.. I started carnivore on Dec 27 2023 because I was eating the same as her but feeling crap and overweight so I asked God to help me get my health back in order, what on earth do I eat? And yes God does exist 😊 and then miraculously Dr Ken Berry,Dr Anthony Chaffee and of course Dr Shawn Baker popped up on my RU-vid feed.. I thought no way am I going to listen to these guys and tapped on dislike video,not interested, everything to get them off my RU-vid feed.. But they kept coming.. Then Kerry from Healing Humanity showed up and the story he had was about a man called Shawn who was morbid obese and very sick and his transformation was amazing just eating meat, butter, eggs and bacon.. The information I learned from all of them has changed my life.. I lost 25 kg , mind is sharp,no discomfort or illnesses what so ever.. I just decided to do what they were suggesting, just do it for 30 days and see the difference.. I dove in without hesitation and now I'm well and I hope my house mate will decide to do the same.. God bless you all with wonderful health and happiness ❤
Oh the simplicity, also! I'm starting on the road as a nomad and love the energy saving aspect of just a little browning, with the rest, rare. Heat the meat, then eat! So much time saved! A minimalist dream food!
Day 7 of the carnivore diet after juice fasting. I miss judged Dr. Baker… i saw one short where he said “my hard and fast rule is Beef, salt and water, thats it”.. i took it wrong. After reading more about him, i understand that he means in the beginning. He eats more than that and isnt as hard nosed and boring as i thought. 😎🇺🇸
Fat tolerance will grow with time if you experiment with different foods. Experiment and keep a log of what you enjoy and what causes discomfort. Fruits also cause anxiety in me! Who knew?!
I'm a newbie carnivore and tend to describe it with one word. MIRACLE. Yes, with capital letter! Either case I do tend to cheat more than I should. The curious detail is that when in 100% carnivore. Stomach/bowel all work incredibly smooth. Usually I say like a finely tuned Swiss clock. Throw a couple veggies, fruits, etc. into the equation. And surprise, surprise, it all start to go back to what it was. Obviously not good. So my strategy to keep on track, is to cheat from time to time. Than immediately I regret and go back. LOL 🙂
best thing bout carnivore is the bbq pit, my weekly ritual grilling for my supply all week long, have done away with the cold beer while grilling and replaced it with JACK OLD7 and homemade tea with fresh lemon/lime/cinnamon and ZERO SUGAR, very healthy and HELPS with digestion, cut way back on fruits and YES THEY CONTAIN SUGAR and bacon/eggs is my new love affair
Sorry, I see how that could seem insulting. That wasn't my intent. Where are you from if you don't mind me asking? I'm spoiled. I'm from East county San Diego. We are definitely spoiled here!
I love meat, my problem is my sweet tooth!! Being retired and a regular gym rat, it’s so easy to kid yourself by having ice cream, cookies knowing your going back to the gym. It’s like taking two steps forward then one step backwards. Very frustrating
Your sweet tooth is supposed to go away from what I’ve heard on carnivore for a few weeks…. Also, you can make healthy ice cream with heavy grass, fed cream, egg yolks, and a little bit of honey or maple syrup if you’re going to ever cheat. But that’s a slippery slope, cheating
I’m not exactly pure carnivore,but I’m losing weight! I do make an egg pudding with half and half,a couple of eggs,a shot of vanilla,and Splenda..it’s my treat,and when I get sick of just meat and eggs…it helps.
It’s very liberating…and I’m spending less money on Carnivore, and I have NO cravings, and very little appetite. When will I start losing weight and feeling better? Only one month in.
Patience. ;-) newbie carnivore but a few months already. Curious that just a moment ago, I was looking for a way to make another hole on my belt... I've run out of holes to tighten it up! Most important keep on track. Never mind that my previous comment was about, me cheating on carnivore. LOL 🙂
I have been carnivore for 10 months. Initially, you may not lose weight, but your body will start changing( close not fitting ...loose) I have lost 60lbs so far.
My Lab results Thyroid is mildly low, but stable. Continue levothyroxine at current dose. Cholesterol is mildly elevated with LDL of 145. Recommend working on a low-fat/low sugar diet and increase daily exercise. All additional labs are in good range. Follow-up as scheduled. I have been on the Carnivore diet since July 1st 2023 I have also lost a total 20 lbs.
There's nothing wrong with your LDL . . . not that long ago, anything under 300 was considered normal. Then, the drug companies introduced statins, and shortly after that, the recommended level dropped to 200! Hmmm - sounds like creating more customers, not a real health measure! Plus, the whole LDL narrative was based on a flawed study put out by Ancel Keys - who was paid by the sugar industry to discredit fat. Low fat is a good way to shortchange the body's need for cholesterol - for hormones, cell walls, brain function, nervous system, etc., etc., etc.!
I eliminated everything except for seasoning, coffee, greek yogurt, eggs, milk, supplements and avocados+avocado oil spray. Cleaning out ones fridge is the first step to true freedom and optimum health. if only I could afford the good Dr.s program of support.
Great interview. I just wished he would speak slower, less mumbling. Dont mean to be a downer but you ask for feedback. Awesome content though. Have shared it around to all my contacts, or at least those who are interested in nutrition.
As far as there being no long-term studies, whether or not a carnivore is actually healthy and sustainable we have literally thousands of years of human evolution while we were Hunter gatherers that say that carnivore is healthy and sustainable. The Inuit are one example of an entire Group of people who have been eating almost 100% strictly carnivore for thousands of years and they are some of the healthiest people on earth.
@@mrmaxcarter2306 The point you went out of your way to miss is that doctors have seen and warned of the same health risks for a dozen decades and much more. Plant-based diets have a host of issues, from health to greater ecological damage.
Not if you know the real science about cholesterol and not the lies pushed by big pharma, big food. Don't be brainwashed by the lie that has been propagated over last 50 yrs.
There once was a time when you could buy only heavy cream with nothing added; that's just the way all cream was packaged. Now you have to buy organic to get the cream with nothing added; which of course costs more.
I’ve been trying to find sour cream without a bunch of crap in it, carrageenan, corn starch, guar gum etc and even the organic ones have the additives. Have to check labels on everything. (I’m making my own sour cream now)
Affordability is the biggest barrier, I was on carnivore for almost a year and it was great but then I changed jobs and prices went up and I couldn't afford to continue.( I have a large family and I was the only one eating that way)
Amazing info. I love your interview style and personality, Rina. Have you interviewed anyone who addresses carnivore and fatty liver disease ? It would be a relief to me to hear an expert discuss this. Ty!
From my research. I find both keto and carnivor teach us to avoid highly processed foods. Ovo lacto I have found to be also well ballanced in this respect. I have experienced all three diets
I just want to say that after COVID I would walk around the store and I would say so much. Humanity obese overweight struggling to walk and I was crying inside this new way of eating gives me tremendous. Hope and I'm grateful at. Everepresent is trying to change their life hearing the comments. A people have lost so much weight and are off their meds and reverse their diabetes.That's what can't be hooked
If the carnivore diet works for you, that’s wonderful. I feel much better on a mostly plant-based diet, and my blood panel greatly improves. I wish I could tolerate more meat, because I do enjoy it, but I almost had a heart attack the last time I had meat on a regular basis. That doesn’t mean that my diet is superior or being carnivore or keto is any less beneficial to someone. It’s just my experience. Im just glad that I have a diet that works for me and that I am on my way to healing my heart and body.
There has to have been populations of people who, through circumstances, adopted and adapted to a high plant food diet over many thousands of years. If you feel good and your health is maintained then keep at it. All the best.
Pepsico, Proctor & Gamble, General Mills, etc, are massive food companies that fund political campaigns and in return receive huge incentives, kickbacks, tax breaks, and positive publicity. Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna are massive pharmaceutical companies that also fund campaigns, get kickbacks, and government funding for commercials. Both the food and pharmaceutical companies, in concert with government, get to fund the literature on subjects of nutrition and healthcare that are taught from K-12 to the highest levels of academia.
Been doing carnivore and then started "cheating" with sugar and what not. Ready to go back to the basics and I know it's going to be what will get me to my ideal size. I've already lost 25.. looking forward to the 15 falling off. Thank you for all you do.
It's getting to the point in America where people have decided what's good and what's bad for everybody. I'll decide that for myself, as they continue to make their moves to try and take away are choices of what we put in our body, I believe it's going to get to the point where are we have to go to war to protect what we choose. They won't be able to just let people decide for themselves they will try to make that decision for us and force it upon us. I have no interest in participating in their thoughts for lifestyle for me. I very much enjoy your channel you have fantastic guests and you always drive it home thank you
Having stage 4 cancer and thriving for 7 years I am always researching my diet to make sure I can be the best that I can be daily for life quality. Ive tried vegan, vegetarian, and the past 4 years keto to a degree. I di feel better on Keto but I want to feel even better. I read that cancer cells need 4 times the glucose than normal body cells. Cancer cells cannot use ketones , normal body cells can. that is really a simplified explanation. Maybe Carnivore will work better ? Day 4 and I feel ok. My goal is quality of life not necessarily quantity. I want to FEEL good. Wish me luck
So....."as stated before... no one outruns....a sh^tty diet. No...S. Baker is by far NOT the first to write or speak about carnivore...he is however one of this generations best pundits. He's not the best speaker,...he's not the most knowledgeable, but he does lay out facts with continuity and teaches well. His physical prowess, for a man at any age is a good representation of what carnivore can do....well past 50 as well. Cheers.
Processed meat whether cured or uncured have nitrates therefore should be consumed once in a while but not daily. This applies to hotdogs, bacon, pepperoni. Which can cause cancer. I’m actually learning about this in cancer biology. And there are studies.
Beef is too heavy for me. Pork, fish, chicken, eggs, no dairy, I'm quite fit at 46. I was a candidate for diabetes, I used to be alcoholic too, my body has a chance now, and I stopped vaping😅ketovore is a way of life for me now.
Hi. I've been watching your videos for some time. I have a big request for Polish subtitles. I read German, but it is difficult to understand your content well. In Poland, more and more people watch your vlog. Thank you for making people aware of what is good. Anna Thank
I had to quit carnivore diet, my remnant cholesterol was 19, it's supposed to be 4 and lower, Dr. Ovadia says the same thing. Carnivore is not for everyone, plus I wasn't losing any weight. I eat super low fat protein, 66 to 70% super lean protein, 16% carbs, 17% fat or less. I quit beef completely. My remnant cholesterol went from 19 to 9, supposed to be under 4.
If you want to know the long term affects of the carnivore diet on health, research the health of the Plains Indians (Lakota, Dakota, Crow,. Mandan, Kiowa, Osage etc…). Their descendents will know about the health or their grandparents and great grandparents. The Plains Indians traditionally relied on the Buffalo for their sustenance, until they were forced into reservations when the Calvary massacred the Buffalo.
