Yes I agree too. I was 65 days on 100% carnivote. Leg cramps, bored, not feeling great. One watermelon later I was feeling super great. Sweet fruit and salt fat meat are what nature tell us to eat, let your tunge guide you to paradise.❤
Paul is 100 % right. I was keto / carnivor and was trying to donate plasma at biolife. The entire time I stayed in ketosis I wasn't able to donate because of ELECTORATE imbalances. As soon as I added fruit raw dairy and honey it fixed those issues and can now donate. This is NOT bullshit hes 100% accurate
While there is no "one size fits all" for everyone...I know that for myself I feel so much better (and haven't gained any weight) adding fruit, raw dairy, and honey back in to my animal-based diet. I had terrible trouble sleeping (from trying intermittent fasting), heart palpitations, and low energy from keto and even strict carnivore. Thank you so much Dr. Saladino for having an open mind and continuing to learn and help us.
I did frequent fasting (1-3 day) and got heart palpitations. The tests revealed I was critically low in many electrolytes. The lowest was potassium. I had to take horse sized pills of it for weeks to elevate my level into the normal range. Took a general electrolytes complex daily for the rest. I had lost over 50 lbs, felt good, but I didn't allow enough recovery time between fasting. Electrolytes get depleted when fasting so you must replenish them. That was over 5 years ago and all is good now.
Brother thank you for all the hard work and effort you put into your channel. It is a massive wealth of knowledge that is been so helpful to me. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Dude you have changed my life. Without you I would still be searching for the nutritional information I’ve always wanted. Blessings upon you and your family forever.
I suffered from allergy induced asthma. I started a keto diet years ago with positive results. For the last 6 months I've been on a carnivore diet with some fruit and raw honey with the best results for my asthma. I'm assuming that switching from veggies to fruit as my add on to the meat/dairy diet is the reason I'm doing better. Thank you Paul.
I'm 70 yrs old, and eat like keto/carnivore. I do include blueberries and raspberries into my diet and feel great. My blood pressure has dropped 40 points since doing keto. I might include some honey and see what my blood pressure does. I'm off all blood pressure meds now...
My bp dropped 25 points on keto/low carb, I was so HAPPY. But about 1.5 yrs after I started, my blood pressure became elevated again. Now I’m on blood pressure meds, and I have never been on blood pressure meds my whole life. And I do have problems keeping my sodium level in range. I’m going to “try” the fruit/honey thing, and see if it helps with my elevated blood pressure and decreased sodium.
I agree 💯% with CarnivoreMD on fruit. Eating only strictly Carnivore or Keto caused my liver to enlarge and become fatty. Then after eating pineapple 🍍 strawberries 🍓 avocado 🥑 papaya banana 🍌 and watermelon 🍉 my midsection shrunk and my liver decreased in size. Ironically I'm reading 📚 these fruits are loaded with digestive enzymes among other things devoid in vegetables.
Kiwi and pineapple are game changers, help protein digestion and assimilation. Melons very hydrating and easy to digest with barely any anti nutrition mainly the seeds.
You should clarify, idk what version of carnivore you were eating to be able to say it gave you fatty liver. Maybe keto if you included alcohol or fruit and you were already pretty insulin resistant. I’m glad you found something that ended up working for you.
My life has improved so much by incorporating fruit and raw dairy into my carnivore lifestyle. Found your channel a few months ago and really enjoy the content!
Thanks a lot Paul for this empowering video. You are absolutely correct. All sugar is not created equal. If it's not naturally sweetened, avoid it. Is just that simple.
When I first started my seeking of better health I was given the recommendation of eliminating all corn products, including high fructose corn syrup. That alone was enough to see huge improvements in my health. Less inflammation, better skin, weight loss and less puffiness were some of the benefits. Will never touch the stuff again.
I was so afraid of adding maple syrup “deliberately” and honey because there’s cancer in my family and fibrosis too…. I have been working out and trying to gain weight… not scared of fruit, or honey anymore!!!I feel amazing everyday!!!! 😱
Ketards are officially done in 2024. I was once low-carb, I started having very bad, depressive-inducing reflux. 6 months on low-carb reflux are gone completely. Milk and probiotics have helped repopulate my gut flora. Depression is gone, energy has increased 3-fold. Thanks Paul!
Wow, this hit me when you described how HFCS is actually made. It's an artificial sweetener! We take something that doesn't even have fructose in it and construct an artificial fructose from starch! So likely the two biggest (nutritional) drivers of metabolic dysfunction are simply artificial fats (seed oils) and artificial carbs (HFCS)! Both are loaded with contaminants from processing, devoid of micronutrients, and really only intended to deliver a very cheap high calorie product with a very high profit margin.
I did keto for the energy. I also lost weight when I didn't need to, which made me underweight. I'm not sure if the energy I had was because of keto or because of the bulletproof coffees, but I wasn't doing measurements and probably over did it. I never woke up so early and ready to attack the day than I did when I was doing keto, but I was only getting like 4 hours of sleep. I had to stop after around 8 months because I was having heart palpitations and it scared the hell out of me. I also had cramping. I didn't do any exercise. Nowadays, I try to eat a pound of beef a day with occasional fruits, honey, and raw milk with maple syrup. I had my testosterone checked a couple months ago and it 831 when the range is 250-827.
The only person/doctor in the Carnivore/Keto community that I listen to and respect. I just cannot do Carnivore diet. Tried a couple of times and just cannot deal with it. Insomnia is the worst. And overall not sustainable longterm. Maybe because eating large mammals all the time do not come naturally to me. I feel so much better with adding some fruit, white rice. I read a book called ‘potato not prozac’ which has a few simple rules and one of them is to eat one potato before going to bed. It cam be eaten in different ways but with not much oil. This supposedly does some kind of magic to our serotonin and hunger signals. But OMG I literally pass out and sleep like a baby. Opposite of what pure Carnivore diet does to me.
This dude is neither carnivore nor keto. He's a sugarholic sand it's gonna catch up with him. Having a potato before bed will put you to sleep because your body wants to stay still and devote all its energy to digesting carbs and packing them on as fat as fast and possible.
@Mika Foxx actually incorrect (i am currently carnivore btw) check out thomas delauers video on this topic. Insulin helps you metabolize melatonin. That being said, the sleep problem resolves for me after about week 3 on zero carb.
@@mikafoxx2717 When I was Whole Food plant-based, I was eating the equivalent of about 3 to 4 russet size potatoes a day along with lots of coconut cream, and I didn’t gain any weight from this! I also had a big salad every day with a nut based dressing and was actually eating more calories than recommended for my weight. eating that many potatoes did not make me fat! And I even ate the potatoes with a saturated fat!
I think you're right on with all this information Paul. By the way there are a lot of doctors and other people talking about this information, people just need to look for it. The problem is everybody wants a simple solution and then just forget about it. You said a couple things that were important. One thing is you want to keep growing and evolving. To do that you have to always keep searching and experimenting. The other thing you said was I hope people will experiment with this. There is no one truth fits all. Everybody's body is different. From an evolutionary standpoint people would eat whatever was available to them, they would turn nothing away including fruit. I mean what is the meaning of Hunter gatherer. What is the word gathering describing? It's sad people don't want to have an open mind and just bash you instead of saying oh maybe there is something to this. Keep up the good work.
"Every body wants a simple solution". That's why it's so hard to find. Because it is simple. Don't eat processed foods and seed oils. That's all there is to it.
I’ve been practicing different methods of carbohydrate restriction to minimize symptoms of hypoglycemia since the late 90’s (that includes ketogenic diets). I had been doing “Paleo” for almost 10 years when the Paleo Diet trend took off. I’ve been seeking in earnest to eat an ancestrally appropriate diet for many years. I’ve just found your content within the last few weeks and I’m extremely happy that you’re following the evidence and speaking up on these potentially life changing topics.
you have to try both to see what works. But if you were chronically overweight then chances are adding sugar back into your diet too soon will set you back heaps. Even " good " sugars like is being offered here. If you suffered from metabolic conditions then healing time away from the root cause is essential. Take the advice with caution and be mindful of the reaction your body delivers separate to your taste buds. For me, just adding fruit and honey back after months on carni made me start to want to drink beer again, I started thinking about it, maybe a vodka and soda won't matter, the justification to drink started back in my mind. I was so alarmed I stopped the honey and fruit and within about 10 days it all settled back to the normal I had again. Alcohol is after all a fermented sugar, a very powerful one.
Had bacon, eggs and an orange for dinner 👌I have always loved fruit and berries, but I had problem with blood sugar drops when I was younger and 2011 I tried keto and was amazed over the fact that I didn't had to suffer from those drops and therefore continued with keto. Lately I have experimented with fruit and now I know that those blood sugar drops were caused by the starchy diet I ate, not fruit.
Did keto for 2 years and did lose fat, but also just didn't feel great. It resulted in having to eat fewer and fewer calories to maintain the loss. After looking at Ray Peat's work regarding food (not so much the woo-woo stuff), I am now eating far more calories, have tons more energy, and feel great and am losing weight. There is a lot to his ideas about keeping metabolism working at an optimum level that keto ignores. Love eating my fruit (including fruit-type vegs), meats, juice, potatoes, etc. Glad you have come around to the same conclusions!
Interesting anecdote; After reintroducing well cooked white rice to my animal based diet my SIBO actually got WAY better. I have zero clue on how that's even possible. I was bloating from both animal foods and fruits and I was bloating from the rice aswell the first few days. But suddenly my bloating just decreased massively. Huh?🤪🤔
Would love to see an episode with you interviewing Dr. Chris Palmer who uses ketogenic diets to treat and heal chronic mental illnesses. Thanks for all the great info, doc!
Paul you are now my favorite influencer/educator in the carnivore/whole foods lifestyle space. It ls beautiful to witness you resisting the dogma and pressure of the strict carnivore community. They can be just as appalling as the vegans. A sign of true intelligence, humility and humbleness. As someone who failed at all these lifestyle changes/ ideas propagated by the best of the best such as Dr. Robert Lustig, Dr. Ben Bikman, Dr. Robert Cywes, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Herman Pontzer, yourself, etc. I would follow these lifestyle changes but eventually reverted back to the same old habits regaining all the weight. Failure has been my biggest success, I finally connected all the dots. No offense but you are only teaching us how to better manage our addiction, we eat because we are in pain. We are using food to soothe the pain from the trauma due to the adverse environment, bad parenting received during the most crucial part of our development 0-5years old. “Abuse”(hate sounding like a victim) could be something not so obvious like being ignored or not held as a child or in my case corporal punishment my 1st year of school in the Caribbeans(I’m timid and over weight now, the insulin resistance and over eating caught up with me)all stressful moments I eat. It’s the shame and fear of getting flogged. It’s the subconscious running in my background, reason I’m scared of authority, becoming a ppl pleaser, always give more than I’m comfortable with then regret it, fell victim to narcissistic relationships. Dr. Paul put yourself in our shoes, you probably got the love, adulation and security as a kid. But not everyone is fortunate to have great care takers like you have(you got to go with your father to the hospital while he looked after patients, mine rarely acknowledged my existence) you were absolutely right though, fat loss starts in the brain… the subconscious brain. Dr Gabor Maté said instead asking why the addiction, ask why the pain? You’re biggest issue was gaining weight on the vegan diet and probably the gas that came along with so much greens lol. A lot of us use food as comfort that’s are issue. I hope some how you read this, connect the dots and spread the message on your platform. Dr. Humble MD. Cheers and sorry for this choppy bad grammatical rant.
Ironically, I found out trying the Animal Based diet for 24 days, that I cannot handle fructose very well. No matter how much fruit or juice I had, my energy levels just got lower. Started smelling of sweat, farting and when ingesting honey I got stomach cramps. On day 24, I had potatoes. My energy came back and I felt amazing. Still don't regret trying the diet, made me find something new about myself. Everyone is different! Listen to your body.
I do Keto. I eat lots of bacon every morning, along with 3 fried eggs. For lunch and dinner I have 3 fried hamburger patties. Everything is fried in butter and bacon grease. My libido is better than it has ever been and I'm almost 59 years old. I credit the Ketogenic diet.
This podcast may have save me from damaging my kidneys and maybe other organs. I visited my doctor for my annual checkup and had blood tested. There were two tests that were way out of wack and two weeks earlier they were normal. No more Chaffee info going to stick with your advice!! Thanks Howard Hackney
@@mikafoxx2717 Well Mika You've made a statement and that's fine. But you need to explain yourself. The man explained why these things could be harmful to us and what we should think about before consuming them.
@@h.e.hackney5499 I've looked at a lot of the science and biology, and it contradicts a lot of his claims of non-harm. A1c doesn't measure Fructose glycation, and the reason it may go up on carnivore is simply because red blood cells can live longer when they're healthier, which when the average glucose glycation of red blood cells over their lifetime is the measure of A1c. His overconsumption of liver and such may contribute to overdosing on some nutrients like vitamin a. Liver has something like 1,200% rda of vit A in around half a pound of it. His quoted studies on rats don't correlate to humans as they are not very related to humans when it comes to digestion. They need over 90% fat to even go into ketosis. Some studies he's quoted in the past were sponsored by a sugar food company. His diet is no doubt healthier than what most people are eating, but Saladino's rapidly increased appearance of aging once adding fruit is not a good sign. Many of the other actual scientists and doctors involved with up to date research claim that Saladino's diet is most probably misguided, and misguiding others that really cannot handle sugar, like diabetics.
@@mikafoxx2717 Thanks Mika I love it when someone can come back with other answers. We all need to look at everything and make good decisions. At 69 I want to stay healthy!
Excellent information. Thank you. I tried strict keto for 3 months.Felt mentally miserable and exhausted. So have done as you suggested reintroduced honey and fruit..Oh joy..feel soo much better..And SHOW me the yummae honey ..Intuitively I just KNOW this is the right way to eat..Thanks soo much Paul..now I've just got to eliminate that filthy dirty decaf coffee..and my body will be singing..
I do OMAD. Nothing is off the menu. No restrictions, no kitchen scales no counting. No food deprivation. Lost fat and built muscle. My caveat. It took me a while to figure out what I could eat to sustain 23 hours of not taking in kcals. What works for me will not necessarily work for someone else. Be the lab rat, work out what is best for you.
@@garrickmorley4465 Not when the surplus was 39 lbs of extra FAT. That said - the average person has 100.000 kcals of energy that they could tap into before they ran into real health problems. Angus Barbieri (1938 or 1939 - 7 September 1990) was a Scottish man who fasted for 382 days,[1] from 14 June 1965 to 30 June 1966. Loads fast for religious reasons. Dr Ian Lake ran 5 back to back marathons with no kcal intake. I guess he was in food depravation?
I’m a 48 year old 5 ft 10 180 -182 lbs and eat 4-6 bananas a day , 4 oranges blended in vitamin , 1/2-1 lb of blueberries, 4-8 tablespoons of raw honey and manuka honey like 2 tablespoons on other days , sweet potatoes, white potatoes, 4-8 slices of ezikiel bread daily for fuel as I’m a cyclist that rides 15-25 miles 5 days a week, strength train , wrestle , and body weight training and I’m 7-9 percent body fat and have phenomenal markers across the board . The body runs on sugar for fuel , when I have attempted to train or ride without a carb up via sugars the performance is sub par significantly. Get active on healthy carbs to get the body’s metabolism on fire and you will get fit so long as your Marcos are on point . I also eat rice , and avocados with primarily beef some chicken and occasional clean wild caught salmon. I feel stellar and my body is an absolute machine.
@@bigbadgator Try doing a 30-50 mile bike ride at 250-300 watts power and not load up on fast energy sources and with them and you will see a significant difference in energy levels
You should interview Brad Marshall about sugar's role in keeping humans obese and hibernating. He says that sugar upregulates SCD1 (Stearate : Oleate conversion) 4x as much as starch. Oleic bodyfat has a strong correlation to obesity. Would be interesting to have that discussion. I'm saying that as someone who feels much better with added fruit, not trolling. I am concerned about the too much fructose and sucrose though.
I discovered why exactly fructose is bad; its taken up by the liver, and then converted to fats like body fat and blood cholesterol. Fructose, which is half of what Sucrose is composed of chemically (comes from plant material) is taken right from the blood into our cells, instead of being processed by the liver. It is also absorbed directly to the bloodstream and isn't broken down by sucrase in our small intestine like Sucrose is. Keep in mind, this doesn't mean cane sugar is 'good' for you either, because it contains fructose as Sucrose and has a lot of it compared to vegetables and fruits. I'm not a doctor, but I did my research to make this distinction. So, what most of your sugar should come from is from the source as fiber-rich material. Fiber slows down the absorption of carbs preventing blood spikes (this is what causes insulin-resistance and diabetes because it makes your pancreas work harder to make insulin at once in order to transfer broken down glucose into cell energy) and it also is probiotic as gut bacteria feed on the undigestible fibers. Foods without added sugars like fruits, honey or stevia contain a lot less fructose, and also contain fiber and vitamins making them a much better choice, if any. From what I've seen, sugar-alcohols and stevia extract are the healthiest options for *added* sugar. Stevia has even been shown health benefits and reducing inflammation and blood sugar levels. Overall, you should get your carbs from fruit, whole grain and greens.
Fruit honey maple syrup lactose from dairy for the win. Rice is the best starch choice then peeled overcooked potatoes. Which fruits are the most nutrient dense and the cheapest? Anyone?
Paul we need to delve deeper into the iron overload situation that seems pretty clear that you had. What do you hypothesize was the cause? This is groundbreaking. There are so many of us struggling with iron overload high shbg low free t. I wonder what could be the cause and solution. It isn't natural to have to donate blood every 3 months just to keep free t high. Gotta be something causing this.
I imagine that a major problem is that injury was a normal every day thing for hunter gatherers. Going through thickets, bruising and cutting your body on roots and stones, and fighting rival humans for food and resources probably meant that they were always healing from something. Parasites often would be detrimental to iron levels, as would eating the occasional plant matter during starvation. As good as ruminant meat is for humans and beneficial for helping to eliminate PUFAS from cell membranes, I don't think that it's realistic to say that they were the only nor primary meat source for primitive humans. The sheer amount of organ meats eaten while generally beneficial would not logically have been available in the ratios seen discussed sometimes by Saladino.
So informative... thank you so much. It's funny I have been on and off Keto and Carnivore and I really have not lost much weight but have had some positive affects. But I think the worst for me has been not being able to sleep. Also digestion and stomachaches have been haunting me. I decided to do a 3 day coconut fast starting today and would love some feedback on coconut water. I watched several videos and need some clarity from someone like you. I am grateful...
I consume raw beef, heart, fat, other muscle meat, liver daily sometimes lamb and started adding raw kidney. I also have a raw A2 milk smoothie with raw egg yolks, banana, strawberries, blueberries and some raw honey daily❤
Dear Paul, I think you should do a video on ways to reduce phytic acid(and other bad things) from stuff like beans, grains etc and whether or not it’s a significant enough decrease to make the food worth eating.
I think the fruit depends on how active you are as I think fructose signals your body to store fat for winter. I get carbs from dairy and honey. When I eat a lot of fruit my weight creeps up. When I ever do eat fruit I eat with full fat dairy
I agree, after 2 months of Keto my anxiety was worse, I had constant heart palpitations despite taking minerals and drinking water. Fruit made me feel better. Also FullyRawKristina fully reversed her type 2 diabetes with carbohydrates
I get zero benefits from honey. It always ends like this: I buy a jar (expensive) and tell myself to use it sparingly. Then the sugar cravings kick in and the jar is empty on the third day and I feel bad. I do way better with 0 carbs.
Parasites, yeast imbalance, neurotransmitter issues, autoimmunity, enzyme or bacterial dysbiosis/deficiencies. There are so many variables it's overwhelming. I don't tolerate honey either even a teaspoon. Or bee pollen
Very helpful. By using a combination of listening only, rather than watching the distracting hand motions, and frequent stops and replays to slow the rapid delivery, I got a lot out of this.
I feel like this is coming around full circle. Just avoid processed foods and eat a balanced diet... you will be fine. All the fringe diets end up being harmful to you in the ling run.
Paul ignores the fact that the carbs from fruit and the carbs from starches are much different. Many people including myself cannot simply “get our carbs” solely from fruit. I’ve tried it time and time again and my muscles are never able to feel fully replenished
I went on keto to lose weight but also to keep insulin lower and become more insulin sensitive. I found out that it sure does help with that but it is the eating just 2 meals a day that I stumbled upon that also helps....you don't need to eliminate good healthy whole food carbs. You need to eliminate snacking in between. Whatever diet that allows you to comfortably eat 2 meals a day and not get hungry in between is a diet that works. Control of insulin is what matters and keto isn't the only way to control it
Good that you have bought to light the electrolytes issues with carnivore, Keto, and all the other myths about. Takes courage to admit you were wrong and not just sticking to the narratives of the different food religions out there, getting some stick from the community. For most of us normal joes getting away from processed, junk food and cutting out refined sugars is a big step which brings huge benefits for our body. Vegetables, fruits, healthy fresh foods, meat and fish,in a moderate fashion is the way to go. And not to forget cutting the alcohol. Do that and you are fine, some deviations are ok for the psychological well being, don’t cripple yourself.
Make a video on Citric Acid. It’s genetically modified black mold byproduct that they grow on high fructose corn syrup. It’s probably the most toxic thing I have seen. And it’s most products as a preservative “organic” or not.
This is great information, thank you! I have an auto immune disorder that has been wreaking havoc so I decided four days ago to start a carnivore diet. I’m going to continue the diet for 30 days with no carbs just because I’m reacting to something and I have no idea what, so I want to reset my body. After 30 days, I’m going to start to introduce fruits one by one and see how I do. Thank you so much for the information!
My muscle in one calf soo big cause of worse cramps in that leg. I didn’t get cramps b4 the keto carnivore diet 😮. No one ☝️ even doctors don’t know why or how to stop ✋ them. Tried everything 🤨. Hummm 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊❤️
I responded really well to a ketogenic diet, and it helped to heal my body and reverse my T2D. I also supplemented it with magnesium and B complex. I was never feeling or experiencing muscle aches or cramps.
Question, so honestly, how many carbs do you think you were (or are) taking in per day. The amount of carbs needed to keep electrolytes in balance may vary widely between individuals.
Thank you Dr your openness to share, it has help me so much, I was really struggling with a strict carnivore and added apples, pears sometimes honey, sometimes organic Maple syrup and it made such a difference I feel much better, no more fatigue, again thank you.
Paul, I would really love to see you talk to Anthony Chaffee (MD). Hes a pretty big proponent of the carnivore diet. I need these kind of people in a room together since I get conflicting information from both sources. One HAS to be right. I'd love to see these debates play out. Currently, I'm on an Animal based diet. Its going fine although my weight loss is going very slow. I'm rolling back my fruit and raw dairy consumption to see if that helps (which I imagine it will). Personally, when I was on Keto the real benefit was the mental clarity, I have less of that on animal based. The downside I had on Keto was the lack of energy. I just felt more lethargic overall and also my cravings were insane at night. I think this was more so do to the "Keto approved" crap I was putting into my body. If I did it again I'd probably go more carnivore, really eliminating carbs. Also, on Keto my acne was a lot better, almost non-existent. On animal based it is good, but I do get flair ups sometimes. I think its due to the dairy.
@@Lamz.. Yeah, I listened to this but there wasn't much challenge to the question. There was the back and forth about fruit but that was it. I feel when he has people that are kind of in his lane he doesn't press as hard and really discuss the issues that he has. He may say something broadly but they never get into it. Which I'm not looking for conflict, but I am looking for a good, detailed discussion about the topic. I don't want to stay in my own echo chamber, I don't think its healthy.
I admire both Drs even if they have different views about the Carnivore diet. I’m in Ketogenic lifestyle for over 8 years. In my case, I fallow Stephanie the business person in RU-vid. She’s the most amazing, honest woman I’ve met😉she’s like a Biologist Neuroscientist at the same time. I’m confident that if you look into her channel it will help you to understand more about your personal journey with Ketogenic and Carnivore diet. I have not consumed fruit for the last 8 years, it gives me inflammation. I’m very sensitive to my gut bacteria and I don’t tolerated sugars, grains anything artificial etc. Good luck to you🙏
@@star-warsien It looks like none of them exactly knows, and maybe it's just something individual for everybody, based on geography and genetics. Maybe you find dr. Robert Kiltz talks on glycation interesting. At the end of the day we 'll have to do our own N=1 experiments.
Almost nobody has access to raw Unpasteurized honey/dairy (unhomogenized). Paul, you gotta make this clear. Honey and dairy aren't monolithic, and their quality today is NOT good in general. I'm all aboard with fruit/berries (organic).
I’ve never agreed with a video this guy has made but this one I am 100% in agreement with. Props to him for speaking the truth. Keto isn’t great for long term weight loss. And it definitely spikes cortisol and is driving anxiety and depression. I choose to eat plants but I eat whole food not processed vegan. I think at the end of the day it’s all about staying away from processed foods. Processed sugar and processed oils, and hyper processed carbs in general. He will come around on fiber.
I agree these mono diets may be good initially but in the long run, the jury is out!! There is something going on that’s made a large percentage of people who’re reacting to healthy foods! I’m one of those people…..and I’m not certain as to why! I believe it may have something to do with the havoc our is environment causing--over stimulation from various sources which also affects our nervous systems as well as digestive systems!
@@user-lo9cw6pq7j yeah things have changed for all of us for sure. I know for me it was a slow spiral eating less and less healthful, then mental health issues. I did keto for a while and lost some weight but my blood markers were horrible and like this “Dr” said the cortisol levels through the roof so mental health was worse. Went back and forth trying it keto, then low cal, keto that was almost carnivore one time. Eventually I decided to get whole food plant based and I have never felt better, energy back and also just more joy in life with anxiety fading away. I know we are all different so I’m not advocating my way of eating to anyone but for me it’s made big difference. And no seed oils, for me almost no oils except what’s in food, no salt, no processed sugar.
@@Pepi86753 Well bless your heart! 🙃I needed to hear this! I totally agree it’s not a One size fits all! In some ways that makes it more difficult! But…… I shed mainstream eating years ago for a much healthier way of living! And that definitely helped, not as much as I’d hoped but worth doing! Now giving you more info than you’d might care to receive--haha! I’ve become reactive to so many things! Thought Keto or Carnivore might be the trick! I’ve flirted with notion tried it for a few days, but I just can not eat thst much FAT! And philosophically not crazy about meat factories! I’d rather be plant based !
Nutrient defiencies from your vegan diet will kick in eventually i doubt you ever were a ”carnivore” why would you need to be so extreme that you would hop from carnivore to a plant based diet when you couldve just added carbs back to fix the problem, veganism is not the answer it is literally the worst diet for humans worse than the SAD diet
I have never cramped on carnivore. In fact i have had almost no muscle pain or joint pain on carnivore despite working out 3 to 5 times a week. My clarity is 100% better on carnivore my sleep is better my blood pressure my LDL. I drink milk and water. My Free Test is higher but I want it to be 900 to 1000 and my doctor doesn't recommend it. What do you think? and how can i raise it. Im taking 400ml tongkat ali every day.
Fruit combined with high LDL and ApoB in the presence of systemic inflammation from arthritic autoimmune disease strongly concerns me. Perhaps I am conflating different kinds of inflammation, but without that distinction being spelled out by Saladino I always err on extreme caution. I appear to only be able to tolerate meat, yet I do have some issues that Saladino addresses and would support the addition of fruit to my diet, yet, there is the autoimmune inflammation.
Same here. After 60 days in I tried butter, doubled over in agony in 36 hours, tried a banana, 1/2 as bad in 36 hours, keto flour made with peas 1/4 as bad, cabbage rumbled for 2 days. I'm on day 71 now, I guess I might try honey and wait 36 hours! Auto Immune is rough
Great talk! Sad to see you having to defend yourself so much against these keto cultists. They should take a look at how many carbs hunter-gatherers ate in almost every region of the world.
@@1sr0 How many bee hives would you think it takes to provide a whole tribe with 75 grams of raw honey 24/7/365? And as for fruit: did you ever visit the rain forests to count the fruit trees? And did you inspect the naturally growing ancient fruits? It's not the genetically manipulated sugar bombs you find at Whole Foods.
What does it matter how many bee hives it takes? That’s a practical problem of implementation rather than a problem with honey itself. Straw man argument… And you’ve obviously never eaten wild fruit of uncultivated species because if you had, you’d know they can be just as sweet. You know nothing about fruit so shut your stupid carnivore eating disorder piehole instead of parroting back the dumbest of arguments. Why do you think humans absolutely love sugar in the first place? It’s because we’re partially frugivores.
@@Ruktiet Practical problem indeed, not something you know anything about, obviously. You live in your own virtual little carb addict echo chamber. Why do you think people love alcohol? Is it because we are partial alcoholics? Talking about straw man arguments ...
I still eat sugars, just in much smaller portions. I eat around 1 TBSP of table sugar per day, about 45 calories. And occasionally eat maybe 1/10th of a tbsp of HFCS in Ketchup. People who act like sugar in any amount will kill you, are extremists. Like complaining about HFCS in a small pack of ketchup. Realize Ketchup is mostly tomatoes, tomato paste and vinegar. Not only is HCFS a small portion of ketchup, how many people eat more than 1-2 tbsps of catsup?
the amount of money saved - by corporations switching to HFCS in the late 70s - early 80s, was huge and worth billions.. soda companies have spent decades lobbying in favor of HFCS to keep that money train going. just like beneficiaries of seed oils have lobbied to keep their profits up.
cramps: yes I had them, they were *resolved by eating more fat* (butter)! Neither more water nor more salt achieved this. And yes same is true for eating a little fruit, but I am concerned about the fructose consequences. I am open to new ideas and I am listening to your rationale, but in the interim I will remain strict carnivore coz it make sense evolutionarily :)
Just adding honey back into my diet, what a difference. I consume it warm water as a drink, and with my beef during meals. I find it has taken my 12hr before I'm asleep to 15-16hr
What if you have an autoimmune issue? I felt the best on carnivore diet but only for a short period of time. Then it stared to give me many problems and it was less effective on autoimmunity as well. But adding different food makes it only worse. What should I do?
Same with me, adding some cucumbers/ fried cabbage with bacon etc has helped. I’m trying to stay off dairy as that is something I can consume at all meals.. I also gained 20 lbs on the high fat CV
We shouldn’t overdo the carbs either, they can age you faster and cause other troubles even when from a natural source, they literally contain AGEs (advanced glycation endproducts which are known to speed aging). Also the timing and when you consume them matters. We need about 5% of our calories coming from carbs according to Aajonus Vonderplanitz who I think has had the most complete picture on nutrition. A large part of why adding in carbs in form of fruit raw honey and raw dairy makes you feel better is also bc of the enzymes and bacteria that you would be missing on a fully cooked carnivore diet. (Most) Cooked foods are harder to digest than raw and so fruits would provide you with easy energy too. Also I think I can be very easy to undereat on keto or carnivore because it’s quite satiating but you’re still not getting the calories and nutrients you’d need. He goes into all of these details that are worth knowing. The diet he promotes itself is pretty hardcore but if you even do it only partially it is very beneficial
I think keto is a medical dietary intervention for fat people, prediabetic etc. It is necessary to start people on the journey to intermittent fasting, low carb, carnivore and overall better diet. You have to start somewhere and it starts with low to zero carb
I love 🍯....and have been happy with carnivore... but trying to bio hack what works for me AND control the inflammation, pain and bloat...the papaya was heaven
Carbs in what form are you saying? I just started carnivore a month ago and I am just wiped and can’t sleep well. What to take food wise? Pls help. I’m feeling terrible. First I felt so good for 4 days but now I feel bad and something in my head feels depleted and empty. I took some honey but makes no diference.
The study on cortisol was 4 weeks long. So it's not enough to conclude on long term cortisol levels when you know the time it takes to fully adapt. According to MD Anthony Chaffee, all his clients have normal cortisol level long term. The study on Methylglyoxal was less than a month in..
I've heard georgi dinkov say that starving candida is one of the worst things you could do it could borrow further into the tissue and end up in the bloodstream and by then there is no getting rid of it. I would check that out.
I feel like you didn't answer if no matter what the source, over a certain gram amount of sugar is still going past your small intestine to ultimately cause fatty liver. For example a green apple has 14g of sugar on average, and the FDA recommends no more than 30g sugar a day for males, as they're implying your small intestine can only deal with 30g at a time, and any more will pass on to your large intestine from where it will pass through the walls into the blood and to your liver. So if I have more than two green apples (28g sugar) a day am I now at risk for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? I mean you said those people in that study had 180g of honey a day which blows my mind, but wouldn't that STILL build liver fat, no matter how "natural the source?
Paul. Taking refined sugar on a high fat diet is bad for the heart. Is there a video you've done or research that shows the interaction between fruit sugar (naturally taken) and high fats? I am on the meat and fruit with honey diet. But my fat intake is at the lower end of your recommendation and so is my carbs really. I am training moderately as i have little kids who constantly infect me with colds. But im really looking for a specific answer about high fat diet and if there is no interaction with natural sugars. That is what i am assuming, but i want to be sure. THank you
If you got a sweet tooth i suggest ginger candies, smarties, and crunch chocolate minis. No candy is truly healthy and ginger is good for liver(so ive heard), but im trying to cut any corn syrup outta my diet.
