I am convinced butter cured my degenerative bone disease in my right foot. I went low carb over a decade ago. About 13 years now. For the first months I craved butter. Ate about a pound a week. Craved it. At that point every step for the last 10 years had been painful. I was suppose to be in a wheelchair by age 57. One day, walking downstairs I realized my foot did not hurt. 65 now and I can hop on that foot.
@@lilithfrances1011 I believe so. Check out Dr Mercola and Dr Christiane Northrup who have protocols for this. Also the fasting will help with getting rid of those protein cells in the body, you know, the spiky ones from the arm spear. All the very best to you Dawn.
Amazing. I put butter on EVERYTHING AND COOK EVERYTHING IN BUTTER. It’s the only way I cook anything. Also drown your cooked veggies in butter salt and pepper. The only way your body can metabolize the minerals and vitamins.
My bulletproof water is perfect for fat fasting! Blend 3 tablespoons of butter into hot water with about 1/4 tsp of salt. It’s a creamy, frothy drink!❤
I would have to add cocoa powder and sweetener to get that down. I can eat smidges of butter tho, several in succession till I’ve gotten a tbsp in. Or lay butter on top cheese and take bites together-delish! I do make butter coffee with 2 egg yolks also- blend all together. I add salt & kelp powder for iodine.
Butter has been an absolute game changer for me. Since getting in a stick of butter a day, I sleep all through the night, my broken satiety signals are healing and my mental health has never been better 💪🖤
I started carnivore blindly with no real source of information on 15 June 24. I have a degenerative spine and nerve damage in my cervical for some years. The week before I made the choice to go carnivore, I sustained a severe bulge disc in my lower back, couldn't stand upright, and walk properly. Today is the 23rd, I'm happy to say I don't feel anything and moving around as if nothing happened! I stumbled on steak and butter gal channel just by chance! I love all the contents. THIS IS GODSEND!! Thank you, Bella.
I wish my dad had known all of this. He was hypoglycemic and suffered from depression and had anger problems. It would have helped him (and all of us) so much!
My parents are suffering but in their late 80s. They see the great benefits I have had in regular keto and carnivore but will never be free of 50 years of being told "fat bad and fruit good, calories matter most, vegetable oils good, etc." Even though they hear me and see my weight loss and dropping all prescriptions, they will never be convinced.
I started adding butter to my coffee and using it to cook beef burgers, and ate a lot of bacon. I was able to get off of my antidepressants as well as a "booster" pill. I was on antidepressants for 36+ years. I never thought I could quit taking them. It wasn't even my goal when I increased the fat in my diet. As I got off the meds, my mind got clearer and clearer. My memory has improved. It's amazing
I can't remember if it was Adek or another lady who is peri/postmenopausal. They were speaking in another video recently, I think the first one with Dr. Bright.
I make my own butter...it's just 42% heavy whipped cream...2 cups HWC makes 1/2 pound of butter, in a blender mix that until the butter separates from the butter milk. you can add your own herbs if you want to the butter, or just a dash of salt for salted butter. rinse the butter off in cold water when finished and then store it. there are silicon molds in the shape of a stick of butter you an use. it tastes so much better than any other store bought butter i've ever tried.
I am a carnivore by choice, but the choice was driven by all the problems associated with carb diets. Between ages 48 and 60 I gained weight and man boobs, as well as fat around my waist. As soon as I changed to a carnivore diet, everything started to change. Inflammation in my body decreased noticeable within a week or two, and the weight started to go down. Arthritis became less of a problem which was something hounding me for 12 years. Carpal tunnel syndrome decreased over a 3 to 4 months period and is almost completely gone, and I was able to bowl again after 5 years of not being able to pick up the ball. My skin healed and stopped being flaky and irritated especially on my face and scalp. My muscles started to grow again, and my skin which had suddenly gotten very thin over the last two years suddenly started to thicken again a little bit and regained some of its elasticity. I feel younger and my skin feels younger. I discovered your truth. Butter is gold. Bread was a gold pan, to hold the gold. Butter is king and was likely a key to health in ancient times. Fat keeps humans alive. Protien makes humans stronger. Animal sources of these nutritional needs are the gold standard of food. My cholesterol is on mark after 5 months. LDL is high as it has for 35 years, but that is genetic. The needle hasn't moved. All my markers are pegged center/center right. Love you channel and thank you for all the great content. At 60 I feel I have a new lease on life. I am hoping this will help me keep my cancer at bay, and keep me healthy. I go to a gym about 3 times a week and lift weights. I work out hard and am pretty strong. My hair started to fall out a little faster initially on this diet but suddenly started getting thicker and healthier. Toenails look nicer and fingernails grow faster and are very healthy.
Reminds me of the old Texas rancher, quoted by J. Frank Dobie, who was asked about his secret for longevity. He replied "don't work too hard, and try to get your beef steak four times a day fried in tallow. Tallow is great for keeping your insides greased up and working smooth."
I always tell folks to try to imagine or liken their bodies to a car. The oil in the engine is vital to your cars health. What happens to a car when there is not enough oil in the engine? It freezes up and dies. So, folks listen to this doctor she knows what she is talking about.
@@breannakelly-watt7968 nope my body having troubles digesting all the fat. It could be galbladder problems or just low stomach acid. Monitor your stool closely. For electrolytes I bought magnesium glycinate, 1 avacado a day, and redmonds/Celtic salt. It WAS necessary, QOL improved, and yes I did a full month on carnivore no cheating to figure this out. I now consider myself keto and starting to ferment my own kvass, kefir, and sauerkraut. I suspect it’ll take me atleast 6 months really get where I’m headed. Unlike many others I did carnivore for mental and hormonal reasons. This diet did help me and I lost 20lbs in a month but started experiencing muscle twitches all over my body, dry eye, and symptoms that can only be described as hypoglycemia.
Thank you so much Bella, Dr. Bright, your team, and everyone in the comment community. Wow. Over the span of my seventy plus years as a mom and now a grandma, I had tried many diets to reduce joint inflammation, heal my gut, and/or dispel migraine. You name it: macrobiotic (20 years), low-carb (10 years), then decades of chinese herbs, acupuncture, super foods, vegan, hi-protein shakes, juicing - but symptoms were getting worse - plus I began gaining weight. Finally, about three years ago, I combined Keto with intermittent fasting - which began to help. I lost 20 pounds without heavy exercising. This put me in the "not overweight for my height" category - but still I had the feeling of "dieting" or "deprivation". Still had zero energy. Kept craving sugar and carbs. The migraines continued. So did the chronic dehydration - no matter how much water I drank. From Keto I took the leap of faith into GAPS. For the first time in many years I was sleeping well and waking up without pain in my back. The success with GAPS encouraged me to go carnivore - which I did about a month ago, with excellent results. Energy up, brain fog gone, waistline to my pre-childbearing size. In the first week I lost three inches from my waistline (which had bloated out to 40 at my worst), now holding at 32. Within days after increasing butter and meat intake I was feeling like a teen. My heartfelt appreciation - it takes courage to face the myths we were "fed" about "low-fat" - but the result will speak for itself. Cravings for sugar/carbs are gone -maybe because my memory is stronger. I can now make better choices about food/water/electrolyte balance because I remember how much suffering is caused by empty carbs. Wishing everyone good health!
And what results in joint inflammation and gut issues?? I am 69 years old and considering the carnivore, high fat diet. I am diabetic type 2, with a lot of inflammation/ arthritis especially all across upper buttocks and lower back. Can barely get out of bed in the morning. Hurts bad to bend over and straighten out/stand up. No energy, tired all the time. Not sure I can limit my diet to just meat. Thanks!
Funny how we were healthy then were swayed by the health experts to go low fat which cascaded into a health descent rabbit hole only to resurface right back where we started, lol. I've learned to do what's best for me despite what THEY say, if it ain't broke why fix it right ?
Hydration can’t happen without electrolytes. Were you taking them? Glad ur working out all the issues. I’m gently surprised at my gut flattening out quickly too. Not that it’s anywhere near flat but it’s not quite as rounded! I did keto & IF w/EFs and dry fasts and lost 55#, was starting to look human again. And felt better! My life is too stressful now for that to even work and here I am highfat “carni” (carni to me isn’t only eating 50g protein 😔-I love meat so I would eat 150g prob!).
I’m so glad to have gotten to see these videos. I’m overweight and starving! I’m 70 years old, have metabolic syndrome, horrible insulin resistance, probably cortisol problems, but I’ve been messing around with the carnivore diet and eating more fat and my thyroid is just now starting to run faster (it’s been in a coma for about 15 years😳)! I’m doing butter bacon bombs and gonna do the stick (or 2) a day and two drops 5% Lugol’s starting today!!!! I’m so excited!
OMG…Dr Bright just lit a Huge light bulb for me. People with high cortisol levels r not hungry in the morning. Her explanation was amazing. That is me to a T! For 30 years. I figured out the late night hunger pangs on my own, just a slice or of butter was all I needed. Previously I used to snack on either cereal or almonds. Not good. I’ve only been on BBBE for 5 days and I know the inflammation in my back is gone. I’ve been on pain meds for 13 years and feel confident I can stop them altogether . I’m so excited! The 6 lb weight loss is a blessing also. This is only a sliver of my story, but feeling blessed❤ Update 3/16/23. 2 months on bbbe. Guess I was too optimistic on my original comment. Lol. I have lost 28 lbs, I Feel Amazing! No brain fog, the mental clarity is something that shouldn’t be minimized. It’s one of the major benefits to me at least. The night time snaking gone, sleep is so much better even with my back pain. But the part where I said I’d be off of pain meds might have been too optimistic . Even though my inflammation is gone and much of the pain on the left side of my back is completely gone, the right side is still a beast to where I still a cane or rollator. Seeing my pain specialist and surgeon again this month, which is a regular thing for me. But that’s ok, I’m continuing to lose weight, maybe another 45 lbs will help. 😄
I can tell I’m way more impatient and snappy when I am stressed out and not sleeping well. This all makes so much sense now. I am eating more fat starting today.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah How is your sleep now? I’m aiming for 200 grams of fat/day and only 50-70 grams of protein/day per Stephanie person (her macro advice for women). Starting today, I’ll be doing two sticks of butter a day, and I eat it with my 80/20 ground beef.
dr Bright is the first doctor that I have heard address the "Soy Boy" phnomenon! My wife and I have discussed many times, that men and boys today look and act different than when we were young (We are in our mid fifties.) We believe its the food and enviormental polutions, with estrogen dominance being involved in both. So thank You Dr. Bright
Thank you so much for bringing this information to us. After the first video with Dr. Bright, I started eating one stick of butter daily. That was 3 months ago, and every single menstrual cycle since then has been better than the last and the best I've had in 25 years. My cycles were always heavy, long, and so painful for the first few days I could never eat or sleep, and that was one week every single month. I will never go back to eating less fat. Even though my family looks at me like I'm crazy, they notice a huge difference in my mood and demeanor, and I finally started losing weight! ❤
@@nikyrasymone1109 Yes. Only by one day but I no longer get nauseous, the cramps are minor, and flow is lighter I'd say by about 25%, which for me is a miracle.
@@Jchathe Hi, may I ask, was it from eating one stick of butter that you started to lost weight, I am carnivore and have stalled with weight lose, Only started one stick yesterday
@@aspinallsandy4810 Actually I hadn't heard about it in September, when I started, I just decided to increase my fat because I had heard it helped with weight loss (regulates hormones). Since then I have been having a large chunk of butter in two cups of coffee and one cup of British tea per day and after 6 weeks I hadn't actually lost weight, or maybe a couple of pounds, but had lost size!! I am a good dress size smaller, woohoo! So all I can assume is that I am replenishing muscle, which weighs heavier, because I've even had to go down a couple of holes on my jeans belt! I'm just blown away as to how this could possibly happen! I am now thinking of doing a fat fast for a couple of days and see how that goes. Good luck on your continuing health journey! :)
My 23 year old son has a physically demanding job, so I changed his diet to high fat ketovore. He said that he has more energy and he’s not as hungry at work.
Very true I work out side in Tampa Florida where it's almost like working in an oven 95% of the time I had developed a stronghold believing that I had to eat carbs was absolutely necessary without a doubt to have carbs to do the amount of work I do everyday and at 53 I was completely wrong I've been eating two meals a day high fat moderate protein beef , eggs and butter and I've lost 20 lbs and my Energy's High
@@johnnymorera3199, That was precisely my situation. For a seemingly endless length of time, I to was convinced carbs were vital, especially to those who are very active or who are athletes! My occupation is immensely physically demanding on the body as it consists of me squatting, lifting and moving nonstop for a prolonged period of time. Turns out, you don't need carbs. Calories, fat, salt/electrolytes do wonders! I get iodine from shrimp and vitamin D from salmon/cod as well as the sun.
@@austinreid4286, Try cutting back on certain meals and eat a leaner meat. I don't know your current body mass index but, I usually eat 1-2 fatty meals a day then the rest are more leaner cuts of meat. It's plausible you're eating past your maintenance calories. Eating anything in excess can make you gain weight. It sucks but we still have to be mindful, even if it's healthy. Because fat is very calorically dense.
Yet the irony is that excessive saturated fat consumption as per this dangerous "carnivore" fad diet would likely acutely impair endothelial function for erectile dysfunction. and of course the carnivore fad diet is completely void of all healthy plant-foods that contain various phyto-chemicals and nutreints involved in NO(nitric oxide) bioavailability such as polyphenols.
@@stevesilver7437 It can be one or two, though here in the states most butter is sold in one pound packs, w/4 sticks. Specialty, grass-fed, or higher end butter is sold in half pound packs, w/2 sticks. It depends on which size pack Alex is referring to. =)
@@pattyperry6991 That was me too Patty! I'm not sure when it happened, but the more I honed my diet- meats & animal products only- the more I really craved the butter. First several weeks, I melted it over my steak & other meat, cooked eggs in butter as well. Then one day I was eating a burger patty, & I tried it w/thin pats of cold butter & was amazed at how good it is! The only way I like it on it's own is when I make browned butter, pour into little silicone molds & freeze it~ really delicious, & stops sweet cravings in their tracks.
I’m reading her book now. I feel SO much better after increasing fats by a lot and cutting back on protein a bit. After a year on carnivore I’m seeing all the benefits 🎉😊
Thanks. I'm having a hard time getting enough fat and I'm feeling tired. I'm partly afraid of gaining weight and I've just never been a big fan of fat. Hearing comments like yours helps.
@@SpiritHawk It's pretty difficult almost near impossible to gain fat purely eating fat even in a surplus the trick is to mix carbohydrates mainly sugars which elevate insulin and promote fat storage.
@@allan2665 that's good to hear and I'm starting to get it. It's just so contrary to everything I've thought for a long time but it makes sense. Certainly what we are being told by the mainstream isn't working for people.
LCHF intermittent fasting. Beef, cream, butter, eggs, some veg (kale). Prostate shrunk by half. BP down 30 points. Do some sprints or short burst anaerobic exercise. Some body weight, (push pull squat). 20 min a day. No more needed. 50 pounds 4 months. Puffy eyes down by 1/4" inch. More energy, can see some abs now. I could not put muscle on. Now I can, and don't even try. If insulin is overall high you will not gain muscle or definition. I tried. I was always puffy as a kid and adult. I'm 40 now. This is so easy now. Thank you Dr Bright for the insight and results. Lots of good resources with data to prove what a why.
If you haven't already heard from him, you might really enjoy Dr. Sean O'Meara~ a big believer in sprints or other high burst activity the way you describe. Fatty meats w/just a spoonful or two of fermented veg, which was new to me before researching it. I still don't do it often, but the gut health gains are incredibly fast.
I love Dr. Bright! Would love to have her go into detail on the fat needs of developing girls. I have a ballet student who told me her family is plant based and it explains SO much. I've been trying to figure out why she is so dis-coordinated and weak in unusual areas. I think plant based explains a lot of it. I am going to talk about nutrition in my classes in a couple months, mostly from a "macro-nutrient" perspective and then talk about bioavailability and the importance of fat for hormones. I'd love as much information about this as possible ❤️
You are absolutely correct in wanting to help her. However, her plant based parents will be furious & you are taking a chance in loosing her. I’d live a life by example…. One day she will ask how you are so strong. Then you can tell her that for you, plants are harmful & you only became strong when you ate lots of animal fat & animal protein. Hopefully that might start her thinking
@@melissal3383 she would be teaching whole class not just counseling the girl. I thought the key words today were diversity and toleration? And the girl can store the knowledge for later use when she can live wisely.
I've had ED since 2014, have not ejaculated since 2012, but I don't worry about it now cause I'm 87 and my sex days are over. Not even carnivore can help me in that situation. So I turned to my meat diet to help me lose and maybe solve my low back pain that I have been dealing with a whole year now.
Wow, this is a lightbulb moment! I noticed that when I upped my fat significantly, my debilitating 5-day migraines went away. I no longer fear waking up in pain in the morning. Now I understand that probably my blood sugar and all my hormones were chaotic and the fat is sustaining the balance. I may be wrong on the details but I know it is the fat. Thank you Dr. Bright!
Someone else mentioned that when they have high ketones then their migraines go away. I also suffer from them. Got much better on Keto but I’m looking to increase my fats to see if it solves the problem completely. I know one of my triggers happens to be my hormones. Hopefully butter can help leverage that. Happy to hear you’re finding some relief. It’s a miserable thing to have.
This has been so helpful! You have described me here to a T. I live an extremely stressful life and have most of my life growing up with alcoholics and married to an alcoholic. I certainly did not plan that but that is what has happened over time. I am 64. I have always been thin until several surgeries that blew up my metabolism: hysterectomy due to cervical cancer, back surgery and steroid treatments for that etc. I have been very overweight after these events for a long time now…20+ years. I just began Carnivore June 4th. I will not eat any other way now. I need to heal and get my body back. I will check out the fat fasting videos to learn how to do that. Thank you for your videos! I know 64 is late in the game but I can’t change that. I have to do this. I feel like I am on a rescue mission for myself!
Continued part 2 … who has a request.. could you host a video with Dr. Elizabeth specifically on people with thyroid disorders, the carnivore diet and the unique challenges we face when trying to stay healthy and reverse skin issues! Thank you all so much! I did just buy the doctors book.
Yes, please! So many of us have these things. Hashimotos. Lot of different advice from very different sources. The last thing we want is to do the wrong thing - and make it worse. Lot of different info re iodine. And aashwaganda , which quickly gave me a reaction - so I stopped immediately. We have to be so careful!
So good. Last weekend my daughter decided to do a 3 day fast. I agreed to do it with her. The day before she had an ultra stressful day - Driving about 8 hours in total to take a frustrating M-I-L to an appointment. FAST Day 1 she had a headache and at night her legs were aching like with period pain. She wasn't hungry the whole fast. I was just without energy Day 1 and lying down most of Day two. I got tired of not being able to think straight and at dinner I just decided to eat butter+++. I had never heard of fat fasting, though we joked that I was on one. After a little I was back to normal. My daughter stopped fasting after 2 days but the pain in her legs only went away after she ate more fat. This all makes so much sense after listening to this video.
Dr Bright is phenomenal source of insight and wisdom. I found her through this channel and purchased her book 📚 thanks for changing , improving and saving lives.
With doctor Bright going in on concentration it’s really starting to add up for me, always had issues mentally and ever since doing this diet I’ve changed myself around significantly in less than 3 weeks
This video is just what I needed. I am 4 year strict carnivore but never really knew how much protein to fat to really take. Also I do a lot of cycling trying to do more and more each day. I some times forgetting about having to rest also doing OMAD. So will be upping my fat and going to be resting more. All the symptoms that re mentioned I have had especially when I am over doing it and not taking enough fat. So super super video. Just looking at Dr Bright and how chilled out she is shows how well it works.
I’m addicted to steak fat trimmings! It’s has always been my favorite thing to eat ever since I was young and everyone gave me grief about it. I would often ask my friends and family members for their steak fat if they cut it away from their steaks. I could eat a whole bowl of that and nothing else. Same with the skin from a rotisserie chicken 😋I prefer that over butter.
It's important to mention that a lot of people have issues with their gallbladder, thus, they can't digest fat easily, especially when eating a lot of it. It should be a different approach followed in this case, like supplementing with bile salts for example.
many gallbladder issues stem from lifelong high- carb eating, and high cortisol levels. both causes see improvement when adjusting to the higher fat. just give it time and slowly increase the fat amount to allow the body to produce the bile salts it needs for higher fat intake to digest fully
Nice one, Bella! I was actually hoping that part 2 was going to be a continuation of the conversation about female intimate issues with the same female coaches. You are the only influencer, as far as I know of who's brave enough to touch on that subject. It was a cliffhanger, because I wanted to know more. And also a tearjerker because it really resonated with me. Maybe next time...
I just recently came across you and Dr Bright about a week ago. I recently committed to the carnivore lifestyle which I absolutely LOVE! But it wasn’t until I saw you and Dr Bright information on high fat, specifically BUTTER, and incorporated the 1 stick a day did I have the greatest experience!! I’ve been experiencing such restful sleep and calm this past week and I know it has to be the butter!!! I’m so grateful to have come across your information. I can’t wait to come back in 30-60 days with an update!!!
@@agvision09 yeah, I hope they're doing okay! I have joined a carnivore Facebook group to hear more from experienced carnivores and haven't seen any of them talk about the 1 stick of butter per day 🤔 I think everyone is different though
The more you know! I am always amazed when I see the cycle of issues I have had in life be explained in such a concise way. I'm 54 now but definitely as a child I was a high carb kid and had these issues.
Thank you for having her on again, I have been recommending your other interview to my followers and this one I will as well. I learned something about cortisol in this interview today that I need to look into because I wake up at 3am 'Tired but wired' and need to figure out how to resolve this! I've been doing high fat carnivore for 3 weeks now and feel amazing! 😊
Bella, your last video with this fabulous doctor changed everything for me! ❤ I didn’t know I wasn’t eating enough fat until I upped it to 1 stick a day. I’m now happily on 2 sticks most days and I have my energy back 🎉🎉🎉 oh and my libido is back too😁🙏
@@SteakandButterGal Do you know if Dr. Bright says it's possible to be ALLERGIC to Iodine??? I know she recommended 2 drops of Lugol's per day. I am hypothyroid and I'm afraid to take it because I heard of someone that had a bad allergic reaction to it!
THIS is the perfect video for me! I've suffered from always having trouble falling asleep, waking up at 3 or 4am, and having the hardest time getting back to sleep. Plus have had a hard time eating in the morning. It would make me absolutely nauseous to eat any food, I could drink coffee, but nothing solid. 🧈 Paused the video to go get me a stick of butter to start chomping down on. 😊 Looking forward to better sleep! 😴 Thanks for having Dr. Bright on again and I'll be getting her book soon. 💛
@@bartlomiejsosnowski4840 it seemed a little longer the one night...but now I have the flu, so nothing is keeping me asleep. Too early to tell if it works at the moment. Nothing is staying down.
@@bartlomiejsosnowski4840 Haven't seen very much improvement yet. Might just take me longer to get there. I've dealt with a high level of stress for years.
I’m so impressed with SBG! I was very late to the party. But I guess we all take in as much as we can when learning something new. I just wanted to say that it’s so cool that Bella directly asks Dr. Bright what she believes regarding fasting when it’s an issue that SBG and Dr. Bright do not agree on. It’s important on my journey because I’ve done a ton of fasting- I really like it! I was drawn to SBG when I heard about the priming and fasting. But with my own personal journey which includes 32 years vegetarianism (25 of those vegan), autoimmune disease, major lifelong intrusive menstrual problems, overweight/obese since age 5, Bells Palsy, depression and more recently breast cancer…. I’m starting to feel like I’m a slow healer that needs to set fasting aside for awhile. I want to charge forward but each one of us is so different and I’m thinking I need to just heal and forget about weight loss and fasting for awhile. Much respect to everyone in this video who are all so clearly dedicated to helping others heal🙏🏽
Once again Bella you knocked it out of the park with Dr Bright and your esteemed coaches. I've learned so much from those interviews with Dr. Bright so I shared the interviews with most of my female friends and family. Great informative content. I've begun to add more fat to my diet as well. I'm definitely one of those people with the cortisol issue. I call my 2am wake up the witching hour. Note, I did try what Dr. Bright suggested, I ate but butter and to my surprise I fell asleep without remembering how long it took. It was pretty quick so it actually works. Take care SABG... blessings to you 💜
@@lilithfrances1011 I don't think you misunderstood. Dr. Bright mentioned butter helps to balance spikes in sugar/ glucose but in her earlier video she mentioned some people might not have eaten enough fat throughout the day. For my particular situation I don't have a gallbladder so I can honestly state I don't eat enough fat sometimes. I get the sense that fat/ butter has so many different properties that serves a purpose for our individual needs. It's possible I have two different situations going on not enough fat intake and cortisol levels spiking when melontonin should be dominate during my sleep hours. Let's just say I had serious health issues for twenty years so I have a lot of healing to do. The comment section doesn't give us space or time to cover issues so it's totally understandable if our comments seem unclear. Take care of yourself I hope I helped more with my response.
@@preyn49 Well you did a fine job w/the space used @preyn49=) Seems it's true for many of us eating butter~ a whole range of positive change & healing. Personally, I'm still a bit stunned that it works the way it does, as well as on ALL that it does. Grateful.
@@RV-there-Yet I’m eating crappy WM butter and it’s amazing! Soon will get quality butter! I’m thinking I’ll continue with the crappy cheap hamb & cheese and just make my butter the very best! #2lbaweekbutterbarb
@@YeshuaKingMessiah 🎯There you go! It's been interesting to hear which brands various people prefer~ I've heard a couple people say they cannot tell any difference between brands, & others who say WM butter is their favorite. We definitely will pay up a bit for butter & cheese, & buy our meats on sale when possible. So far, I really like Tillamook, Presidente', & Albertson's store brand. Not a huge fan of Kerrygold~ which many others rave about, which is great. We have various palates for sure.=)
In my early 20s, I went low carb for about a year and got to my lowest adult weight. I remember telling my mom it seemed the more fat I ate, the more weight I lost. She said, "That's crazy. You're going to have a heart attack. You need to get your blood work done." I eventually gave in to peer pressure and went back to eating an American diet, and my weight doubled. It's been a struggle ever since. I lost weight the low fat way, and it's really difficult to maintain.
Same because I did a ketogenic diet before it became popular and I was in better body composition then. Im going to go high fat now and see how it works out.
I bought Dr Bright's book. It's excellent. I thought me feeling for butter and not wanting to eat was wrong Am so happy as my body has been begging me to do the butter fasting. Thanks
It was great that you talked about sexual health. I bet this would motivate many young men that don't have any more serious health concerns yet to reduce carbs. Sexual health is one of the many many benefits of a good diet, a pretty important one. 🙂
I definitely had the instinct to eat butter when I was stressed…but often followed that action with repulsion because I’ve been told that is bad for most of my life.
I've been eating 200 grams of butter a day (100 in the morning and another 100 in the afternoon and evening), and I can assure you that my life has improved a lot: I need less sleep, I work from 5 am to 9 pm, I practice swimming, I fight Muay Thai, I'm in a better mood, less anxious. This is the big secret that the food industry hid for several years. Meat, egg, lard and butter, we don't need more than that. Also, I only eat two carnivore meals a day. My criteria is 2/3 animal fat and 1/3 protein.
Next call with Liz, would you consider talking about how to address hair loss from thyroid issues (hashimoto's & hypothyroidism) and how carnivore can fix that? Love these podcasts
As someone with a biology and healthcare background I so absolutely appreciate and value dr Brights addition to the carnivore community. I always want to understand the how behind what (obviously) works.
Your skin looks great. I have been trying to eat butter everyday, when I remember to take it with me for my lunch. Ive gone about 75% carnivore these past several months and have lost over 20#. Yeah, Baby!
Great talk…Dr Bright is one of the few people that I cannot listen to on 1.5x speed lol (she’s a really fast talker) It’s okay…I sat through listening to video at 1.25x or some stages normal speed and just rewind when I need to rehear something (that was often). 👍💕
Dr. Liz Bright is very brilliant, informative, and eloquent like you, Emily, and Raymond. This interview was excellent and I will have share this interview with my mother. We need more doctors like her united with the keto and carnivore community to spread the message and debunk the myths and lies we have been taught since childhood. The anecdotes and personal experience with the lifestyle we advocate are crucial and important. I have been on pure carnivore for 4 months and it has been the best experience of my life with energy, healing skin, building muscle faster than ever before, better cognitive function, and more. Thank you Bella for all you do. I would love to join the Steak and Butter Gang and seek training to become a coach through Revero in this space at some point in time. Take care. Hope your day has been gouda. lol All of you have a great and happy carnivore Thanksgiving. Chris
A great video Bella. Butter certainly relieves stress for me. I’m looking into a before bedtime regime. I’m on one stick of butter per day. Might start personal consultation with Raymond through the gang.
That settles it. I’ll be checking out the fat fasting that Raymond and Emily are going to be teaching in the December challenge. Thanks so much for this interview.
I'm getting ready for Ramadan. Doing a butter fast today before I go into the real dry fast. Cut down on caffeine. almost at none so it's not so hard on me when I cut out food and water.
I think a tablespoon of olive oil would be, just as good, three times today! My left eye started hurting when I got older! It would hurt really bad when I got in the bright light! Dr. Christopher suggested we have 3 tbsp of wheat germ oil three times a day. When I run out of wheat germ oil I do olive oil and that keeps my eye from hurting!
Yes, let's get a Sr. Woman on your team. Because I think as Seniors we have "some" different issues! I'm a " butter -aholic"!!!! Love to see you bring in Dr Bright!!!
I found this video incredibly interesting to watch, as a middle aged guy who has suffered extraordinary chronic stress for several years. I recently tried to do the high fat carnivore diet and found myself relying on almost 100g butter per day to keep fat levels up (almost a whole US 'stick'). I had no expectation on any alteration in hormone levels, but I 100% felt a changed in 'inner calm'. Not a lot, but enough to percieve. I was also able to start doing resistance training for the first time in a few years. Again, not a lot, but before the stress of any kind of exertion would cause unbearable adrenal spikes about 2-4 hours after workout. These would often go on for a day or two. One thing I did notice though, as the deeper I got into ketosis, the more the adrenal spikes would happen anyway. I've experienced this before and this happens irrespective of electrolyte intake. I feel there is a stress on the body getting into ketosis that may take some time for the body to become accustomed to, but even more so when already chronically stressed. I wonder if there's a non electrolyte solution to this transition/adaptation phase?
Yes, great information on cortisol, great conversation overall. I just started the carnivore. So good to hear about the value of eating butter!!! Yay! lol
Make sure to take a good dose of selenium with the iodine. I developed a swollen throat on iodine and didn't understand what was going on. Then I was listening to one of of the iodine experts and he mentioned that selenium was important but he didn't explain why. I did some more research and decided to try very large doses of selenium (4x the RDA) for a few days and the problem resolved right away. The swollen throat had been worrying me and making me very uncomfortable especially when trying to go to sleep for a couple of months and resolved very quickly with the selenium.
I've done Kung Fu for nearly 30 years. When I was in my early years , I was stretching and tore my left hip flexer muscle. Later I stretched my MCL on the same leg. Later in 2010 I distended my right knee backward and tore all my Quads in my left leg. Nothing was healing my muscles until I went carnivore. My body is still craving pounds of meat daily even after 5 months. I also eat about 1 stick of butter every day. I'm an Uber driver and drive nearly 14 hours a day. It's really difficult to get my excersize in but I do manage to get at least 100 Squats in daily. I only lost about 12lbs so far. My body is reshaping like crazy and Iodine is very important. It's like my body is afraid to fast and it gets into a fear mode. I know that fasting is critical but it's a real struggle to give my body that time.
The fasting gets easier every day. I do 18 hours daily. Even when I was staying with my son recently, I managed to do 18 hours. A huge victory in self control.
@@seddiqas usually it's the lactose or A1 protein that people have issues with. So ghee would solve the lactose problem, and there is A2 milk and/or cheese available. If it's a different problem, I guess you have to focus on egg yolks, beef fat, etc.
I live in Florida where it is warm but my fingers are all cracking. Never have I experienced this🤷♀️ Anyone else having that issue I’m Carnivore for almost 60 days. Thanks love ya girl so proud of you…
@@w1975b Yes I’m trying to learn more on oxalate dumping. Who or what video have you watched that has helped you learn the most about oxalate dumping? Thanks so much for the insights on that… Have a happy Thanksgiving💐
Hi I’m half way through but I’m just wondering if you could do another interview 😅with Doctor Bright about the importance of fat in adolescence and children, my son is turning 16 and I would like him to hear this, thank you ❤❤❤
Hi everybody! This is Simona from Italy, I follow KETO carnivore and I love it! I love to eat my delicious butter and fat meat, BUT thanks God that I don't live in Italy, because every summer when I come back to see my Family it is very hard to follow my life style!!! Very hard! My italian summer holiday is the only period of the year that I eat Mediterranean food ..
Oh my gosh… wish I had seen this a month ago. But better late than never. I need to get Dr. Bright’s books. Thank you for having her on your channel SABG. Gosh… everything Dr. B said about cortisol and this diet rings so true. I have to get my levels checked every 3 months bc AI disorders. I remember how bad off I was before I began this way of eating. It seemed to have helped tremendously when I came to the keto/ carnivore diet and began eating butter. I have a lot more control over flare ups than I did eating the SAD.
Also, my energy is returning. I had no clue what in the world was wrong with me. After I increased the fat with butter, within three days I noticed and uptick in my energy levels.
