What cracks me up is that people can eat fast food and drink alcohol daily and no one says a thing to you ( well most people won’t say anything I should say) but if you fast/ cut alcohol out and or do keto/carnivore.. people become concerned 🧐
I know it's crazy. I put on over 6 stone and no one says a peep. But whenever I go on a low carb diet, everyone starts commenting about how dangerous it is! It's not just mad, but very dangerous.
People have very strong reactions when their concept of reality is threatened, especially when they have not given any thought to the new proposal. The reason is simple: your striking at the foundation and lower levels of everything their life is built upon. If you are correct this means their habits must be altered significantly.
I started 2 months ago. I’ve lost 54 pounds. No more knee pain. No more plantar fasciitis pain. No more shoulder pain. No more moodiness. No more 40 in waist jeans lol now I’m a 34 in waist 😎. Look up Dr. Ken Berry 👍🏽👍🏽
@@thepipewhisperer8357 9 months Carnivore and no Ankylosing Spondylties or a single Auto-immune inflammation symptom with extra help from high anti-oxidant help from my ND and a strong Liver tonic.
I’m no expert also but have suffered from autoimmune disease for 7 years. I have a background in biology and enjoy researching anything. Dove for months into the literature and after seeing 10 doctors in different countries, all of them telling me I was idiopathic, meaning will never find the reason for my autoimmune condition, decided to embark on my own journey to heal. Learned everything there is to learn about leaky gut and paleo diet, molecular decomposition, digestion, etc. After two years of strict paleo and leaky gut treatment, I healed myself. I realized that evolutionary speaking we have not evolved at all in terms of our physiology, for thousands of years we survived on a carnivore and wild plants. Dropped carbs, sugar and alcohol, just meats, dark greens, and gallons of green tea, it worked for me, it’s doable. Best wishes to anyone trying to tackle health issues.
I know this is an old video but I'm also 70 and I lost 18 pounds in one month on Carnivore. I started it for a painful autoimmune I have. Bless the people who are better at this new way of eating. Hoping for my results...
I agree. I have been on that diet for 4 months now, and i also eat marijuana for greens. All my health problems disappeared and now im immortal. I cook my elk meat with DMT infused olive oil
I’ve been on the Carnivore diet (only eat fatty meats, bacon, eggs, cheese and butter) for 1 month: I’ve lost 8 pounds, blood glucose went from fasting pre-diabetic to normal fasting blood sugars, sleep much better and sounder, wake up positive and energetic, urinate and BM much less, positive moods, no anxiety or worry, inflammation in leg, arm and heel gone, body and face thinner, skin itchiness (from carbs) gone. It has been amazing. I’m on this for life. I’m age 62.
I just want to say I started this diet almost 2 weeks ago. My friend basically forced me to do it with him and I really didn't want to but I wanted to lose weight, since I gained like 15-20 lbs in the last year or 2. I feel absolutely incredible. Everything he is saying is what I was feeling before. I would sleep for 12+ hours a night then wake up (it would take me a long long time to get out of bed and my body felt heavy, like there were weights all over me) then i couldn't stay awake for more than a few hours before I'd need a nap. I've thought I've had MS for about a year yet, but was never diagnosed bc I honestly couldn't make an appt bc sometimes I wouldnt ever see the light of day and docs close at 5pm. I'm finally going to a doctor this week. But damn! I feel like a new person. I was constantly in pain- body/muscle aches. I just thought it was normal or the result of having F cup breasts. I don't have those pains anymore. And this all started after about 3 days on the diet. Several people have said my skin is glowing. People were always telling me I was just depressed or lazy. Again its only been about 2 weeks on this carnivore diet and I'm just mind blown. I'm very curious to see what happens. I love bread and pasta so much but I'm too scared to eat it now. I never want to go back to how I was feeling. I'll provide updates if anyone cares. I highly highly recommend anyone with autoimmune disorders or depression or whatever to just try it. just try it.
I started September 1st, today was the first day I noticed a difference. Increased energy levels and more importantly sustained energy levels all day. I worked 12 hours and only am just feeling sleepy but not tired. You said you felt *heavy* before and that’s exactly right. I feel light and clear minded. Please provide updates for your progress!
You really shouldn't be recommending people to self-treat serious disorders with an unproven and potentially dangerous diet. Jordan Peterson always makes a point of stressing that he does not recommend anyone to follow this diet. You're giving dangerous advice that could potentially hurt people.
You in week 4 now, how’s it going I’m about to start it in the next day or two just getting everything I need first, I’m on 13 tablets a day for depression anxiety and my worst is the pains in my joints, it was only 3 days ago my doctor wanted me admitted to a hospital because I’ve been losing my mind so much, this all started 7 years ago when I got hit by a 25 foot wave I used to train 6 or 7 days a week always been healthy all I want is my old self back, it got to the stage I couldn’t work so I’m now on a disability support pension living in a van because I just can’t afford the bills anymore I’ll report back in 2 or 3 weeks I’ll save this video keep you posted I’m even thinking of actually filming myself for just a few minutes a day telling how it’s going thanks for you information cheers hope your going strong & well
Well I would think that he just doesn't want people to blindly follow the diet cuz "Peterson said so". Which honestly would happen if he didn't clarify he is not an expert and that nutrition is probably different for everyone.
@@jiwoos19 I don't know, he says a lot of times that this is his personal experience and also explains why he took on that diet. If someone were to consider actually follow that diet because of that, I think they haven't been listening to him in the first place
@@franacha No I actually misspoke by simply just saying "Peterson said so", my bad. To state it more clearly, people would blindly follow it not because Peterson said to follow it, but because Peterson spoke so highly about the diet. Peterson's image is to be intellectually adept and trustworthy because his statements are often based on scientific studies and factual data, so people are compelled to follow such a diet Peterson says has all these amazing benefits. So Peterson had to clarify that he is not an expert on nutrition and that he does not understand how the positive effects of the diet came about because he wanted to speak about this diet with interesting, amazing benefits he and his family experienced, not to teach or preach, but to share a story.
It just says something about his character I think. He knows what he's knowledgeable in, and he knows when he's just speaking as an uninformed citizen.
Joe, I'm 31 years old, extremely over weight (6" 393 LB) however I was, 4 months ago, 500 lbs. Yes, you read that correctly. only thing change is my diet. Carnivore has saved my life. so many health issues, reversed. Being diabetic and high blood pressure is the main two. It still blows my mind and I still don't understand it. However, according to my health chart, I'm at my best, health wise, more than I've ever been. Thank you, brother
Carnivore diet didn't make you lose weight. Eating less calories did. And you can eat less calories on a SUSTAINABLE, VARIED diet too. That is much better for you and in the long run much better for your weight because it is actually sustainable. If you didn't have the self-discipline to limit you caloric intake before you certainly won't have the self-discipline to keep this diet up year after year after year. This is why diets come and go while people stay fat. They lose some weight initially but eventually the diet becomes too hard to sustain and the pounds come back. If you just want to lose weight a radical elimination diet like this is not the way to go. These diets are really only for people with extreme food intolerances. And even then only temporary, the goal is always to return to a varied, sustainable diet by slowly reintroducing foods. I would advice you to go see a nutritionist to help you create a sustainable diet if you're serious about losing weight and sustaining a healthy weight over the long run.
@@duxd1452you don’t have to limit Yourself when you do carnivore. You just eat until you’re full. As time goes you naturally eat less because the food keeps you feeling fuller for longer. So it’s not really comparable.
My grandmother was a ginger and developed skin cancer in her 60’s. She had many skin grafts to her face and lost all her hair permanently. After doing chemo and it not helping much but making her feel more sick, she decided to switch her diet to just brown rice and chicken and she immediately felt better. At her next check up her cancer was suddenly in remission. She kept up her diet for 10+ yrs and her cancer was not only cured but never came back. She lived to her 90th birthday when she passed away in her sleep a few days after her party.
I watched this and started a carnivore diet the next day. March 2023-July 2023 lost 50lbs. I also walked 1-1.5 hours per day. Depression is gone. I feeI like exercising all the time.
I cut out alcohol, weed, caffeine, junk food, and even medications, started eating natural foods and mostly meats, my depression and anxiety, and even a good percentage of my chronic pain went away.
Same. I got rid of all caffeine, alcohol, smoking, and very rarely eat junk. I eat mostly meat, some herbs, and some root veggies. I drink some fruit juices, and will eat a little fresh fruit. I barely eat bread, it makes me feel bad so I try to avoid it. And no cereals. I feel much better. No panic attacks, no depression. My blood tests came back great. Doctor was happy 😊
I tried Keto over three years ago. I woke up one morning cleaned out my pantry and frig. I was very strict and didn’t cheat, four months later, I lost 83 pounds. Yes, four months. I had a very negative response from people. Mostly, from the over weight and miserable people. My husband and kids were very supportive. I went from 213 to 130. I’ve never felt better. And I’m still Keto. You have to do what is right for you.
@@theargentino4245 when I say strict I ate very clean, 4-6 oz protein per meal with a total of 7-10 cups of greens a day. I didn’t count low carb veggies in my daily carb count. I don’t snack between meals, I fast and I’m only eat twice a day or one big meal.
Day 3/4 felt AMAZING. I’m 42 5’10”. Four days ago weighed in consistently 203-205. Heaviest ever after rough divorce. Four days later, two days in a row, down 8 pounds. Working out with more energy than in years. Just woke up and found my inner goggins to hit a 1 am run. I’m going to hit 170 lbs and find my hs weight plus some muscle (stathom weight/height), but the real reason I’m doing this is to move on from depression, aches, and some recently developed hives. So far moods already through the roof. Thanks JP and other dietary health specialists that have given this a chance/look.
Keep going mate, sorry to hear about the divorce that can send any man either crazy or into bad habits stay strong report back. I love to hear how your going in a few weeks I’m staring this week as well
I went through 90 days of darkest depression ever. After a month of carnivore my outlook was totally changed. I have my abs visibly back like in hs now! I’m going to bulk up from here so I’ve introduced limited carbs back to my diet. I noticed that my skin was much more healthy. I had developed hives this last year probably from stress. It’s gone. I also found that I could tolerate dairy (protein shakes) for the first time in decades. This worked wonders for me physically and mentally. It was hard to keep up because of social constraints like eating out with others at times. Steak and water gets you some looks from waiters sometimes. Lol
@@redledbetter1wow… that’s great! So do you eat steak for breakfast lunch and dinner every day? I can’t imagine having meat for breakfast. Too heavy for me.. also can it be regular meat? Or beef steak? What about chicken steak? Anyway steaks are too expensive to eat them everyday 😢
@@bartginger123 he admitted he was addicted and abused them. I’m well aware of epidemic going on in America with opioids that no one in mainstream is talking about.
@@earlgarcia6106I bet you’d be sharper and faster if you became thin though. It’s one of those things, right? I know several fat and intelligent people that I know would be even bigger powerhouses if their meat machine were healthier.
I started this carnivore diet as well. Type 1 diabetes here, this is so incredibly informative. It's baffling I can attest to the better sleep, better appetite, better mood and not to mention A1C has gone down. The blood sugars are regulatting. Fantastic!!! I'm incorporating weight lifting to get in better shape with this diet. Even my Edema in my legs went down!!! Thank you gentleman!
My niece has just been diagnosed with Type 1 (she's only 19), but she is scared to go on this diet, have you any advice you can give her to motivate her to start eating this way?
The facts he described dealing with depression (is like losing your loved ones) suggests how much empathy he truly has. Narcissistic (and many other PD) people cannot feel that way. Their depression is totally different and, as I understand it, it’s only wired to for example narcissistic injuries or possibly narcissistic mortification.
Thats untrue. Our mental health is affected by diet. Sugar is a stimulant and that creates anxiety. Naraccism is something that is created in early childhood your not born with it.
Placebo or not if someone does something that isn't self destructive and it makes them feel great and it has visible benefits then for them it must work, even if it's as crazy as eating just red meat. But yeah Joe keeps questioning here, but I think he's done it now and he's on board
@@MulletMan3108 I used to believe that too, but check out That Sugar Film. The protagonist of the documentary doesn't change his calories, only eats more sugar, and gets fat. Also, people who inject insulin can develop a subcutaneous lump of fat in the injection spot called lipohypertrophy. Also, people don't overeat naturally: the overabundance of food isn't enough to explain the obesity epidemic. There may be more to a healthy diet than calories in vs calories out.
I was on a keto diet and found myself in moments of euphoria and bliss after about 2 months. Also had warts on my hands that shrunk and disappeared. So I would say sugar is the enemy in all forms and has a negative effect on the immune system for sure. I ended up stopping the keto diet due to fear of missing out in life and the warts grew back and my mental health worsened.
@@kissfan8675309 sure but what about pizza, bread, pasta, and all those other delicious foods? After a while it got to me and I surrendered to temptation. When you have a partner or family who eats normally it makes it even more difficult.
I work as a cook about 12 hours a day , i started carnivore diet and fasting together . I lost every week about 7 kilos and and i felt much more energetic and focused i also eat some mushrooms about half fist . My mood is better overal and focus . The only bad thing i can say is when you start you will have diarrhea for maximum two weeks ,but after that everything is perfect . You may consider it boring ,but after fasting a steak tastes much better .although i like to add some things like ,garlic rosemary and lemon ,it still does wonders for me . Its all thanks to this video .
What absolutely astounds me about this clip is how much JP has accomplished while feeling like crap all the time and dealing with clinical depression. I feel like such a loser, there's just no excuse.
nah don't feel like a loser, he's had a different upbringing and environment that has formed him that way to be able to be so strong even though depression came around. You just need to find the right motivators for you and try to build that environmental support around you and that would help tremendously
@@erikba6321 also the 150 IQ helps... Plus the fact that depression runs in his family so they've been throwing everything they can at it to deal with it for years. If for example you're the only one who experiences or acknowledges depression in your family then that's already difficult.
I just can't can't imagine what JP has gone through, and on top of that dealing with his daughters problems through his life as well, and on top of that the absolute vitriol thrown at him from MSM. This guy is a living legend in my books, so I am right with you there Daivd.
I just started on the carnivore diet 3 days ago and today I noticed a big change. I work at a restaurant which can get very busy and tonight was the 15th anniversary for the restaurant being open so there was a DJ and multiple birthdays being celebrated. It was very loud inside! We were slightly understaffed on the floor so I had a lot of tables. These last few months have been hard for me. I’ve experienced many of the same symptoms Dr. Peterson was having, from having a hard time waking up, to extreme depression, poor memory and just always foggy. But this evening, I’ve felt better than I have in a LONG time. My head was clear, my pulse was steady, and my mood was jovial in spite of the stress I was under at work and my decision making was sharp. Feeling really motivated now to keep this up. I’m quite certain that the main cause for my mental disfunction has been poor diet. To be more specific, EATING PROCESSED FOODS. So many poisonous ingredients in our food here in the US. We must eliminate these processed foods from our daily lives so we can live happier. I’m no expert, but I believe this is viable solution. It’s funny, I’m lying in bed and I’m actually looking forward to waking up tomorrow.
Hey Trent, I am still sticking with it, although I will admit I have caved to a few temptations here and there (in the form of a few donuts lol). It’s really tremendous when you’re working on the job. My energy is super consistent as is my mood. I’m not moody, generally speaking, at all anymore. No more sugar buzz and crashes. The meals you eat last you much longer throughout the day, so you’re not as hungry (The focus being you eat until you’re completely satiated). This removes the desire to snack. My weight has stabilized, after losing a few pounds, whilst at the same time I’m adding muscle since the diet is so high in protein. Going for a run is a completely new experience. I have almost no muscle fatigue after 2 miles whereas before I would struggle just to keep pace and not walk. I’m sleeping way better than before. My dreams are honestly much more powerful now when they occur. I’m even lucid dreaming a bit too. It’s really incredible the changes that I’m experiencing, subtle though they may be. How’s it going for you. Have you started? Or you thinking about starting?
That amazing I’m happy for you, what are your thoughts on frozen chicken sausages, I find them delicious but probably not the healthiest meat on this diet
@@AS-gh1ge Thank you for your kind words. I’m not an expert so this is certainly a subjective opinion, but I believe that as long as your sausages contain your desired macros in terms of fat and protein, I’d say keep eating them. Again just my opinion
Been on this carnivore diet (2 weeks at post)after researching like crazy, I have auto immune disease ankylosing spodilitis which I take a fair amount of medication plus regular injections, and have been pain free for last week and feel great, I hope this carrys on and thank you Joe rogan and Jordan,
I am in a 82-year-old woman and have been on this strict carnivore diet, other than coffee I do drink coffee every day, For the past five months or so. Every single health issue I had is gone. I take no medications and feel wonderful, better than I can remember ever feeling before.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son."
I am honestly curious about what his blood tests would show. I don't necessarily think his cholesterol would be high, there are more factors than just fatty meat that contribute to high cholesterol.
3 years keto and now 2 months carnivore, almost 48 years of age and never felt better. Since going carnivore my wife’s IBS has improved remarkably and her asthma, unbelievably it’s now almost non-existent. She hasn’t been able to breathe properly and needed to take her pumps for over 7 years, within weeks of starting carnivore she no longer feels like she needs her pumps and can breathe FULL deep breaths with no tightness, pain or restriction, absolute game changer. Carnivore isn’t a diet, it’s an eating habit.
Me too! When I eat lots of carbs my lungs have a small squeak when I exhale that keeps me awake. Never been diagnosed with asthma. My lungs are so clear after being keto for 5 days. I feel in my chest that I am 8 years old. Why don't most MDs know anything about sugar and inflammation?
@@bettyboop3206 Unfortunately most doctors have no idea about nutrition or well being, they simply push pharma products which treat the symptoms and not the cause. They don’t understand the health issues that processed foods, sugar, excessive carbohydrates and seed oils cause to our metabolism and cardiovascular health and so give you a pill instead of treating the root cause of ill health.
I tell ppl all the time that everybody's body is different. Find what's best for you. It's not always calories in and calories out. I found that out with my body.
"Depression feels like everyone you know died in accident yesterday" That is the first real comprehensive definition I know of. Everything feels irrelevant because a tragedy has happened. You could win the lottery, you could become a movie star, and not a damn thing would change in this instance.
Jordan’s daughter also in addition to the death grief part said, ‘the feeling of impending doom (like you are watching a bus about to hit you and or a loved one), and like you are about to get into HUGE trouble for something ( like caught stealing ). Not verbatim, but close to what she (and Jordan have also said). Their description was the FIRST and only time I’d ever heard such a perfect description. Add their Carnivore diet... *BOOOOOOOOM* SOLVED SO MUCH FOR ME.
Because of this video I went on the Carnivore diet about seven weeks ago. I'm a type 2 diabetic and my A1C went from 8.9 to 6.2 and my blood sugars have never been better! My brother has been a vegan for about four years now and his blood sugars are still out of control. When I told him what happened to me, now he wants to know more about the Carnivore diet, so I sent him this video.
After not eating salads for weeks, i ate a salad yesterday. Before I finished eating I had indigestion so bad that I was sick. My stomach is still tore up today.
My son was diagnosed with major tics. Not vocal tics but physical (you need both to be officially diagnosed with tourette's syndrome). He would shake his head constantly and the tics were so awful. Someone told us to CHANGE HIS DIET. I didn't think this would actually work but why not try? We would have done anything to help my son. We eliminated dairy, gluten and sugar. Within the first week we saw improvement. After 2 months, his tics are gone. I can't explain it but I'm so grateful.
Eliminating gluten, sugar, and refined carbs from my diet changed my life! Physically and mentally. No more gas and bloating, no more high blood pressure, I lost 50lbs. No more depression, No more fatigue. I feel like a different person.
Wow so interesting. Tell me what you eat on day to day basis.. I'm going to try this or at least a version of it. Am I allowed to drink coffee? I feel super similar to the way he describes mentality and waking up out of bed, it takes me at least an hour to truely wake up

I have been on this diet for 3 weeks and I have lost 15lbs. I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time. It’s a struggle because I love sweets but it’s been worth it.
Please reply 🙏… I just started this. Already seeing amazing results. My hesitation was the possibility of not being able to ever go back.. do you think that the piece of cake affected u more since starting this.. or that you were experiencing more optimal health vs a sudden crash? I’m hoping I’m not doomed to some sort of indefinite sensitivity to sugar or carbs..
Would love to know if you developed any new intolerances? So many people start to have allergies to egg whites or dairy and they never seemed to before… I am so curious of the body just reveals it more of it the eliminations causes it. Please let me know if you have any experience with this. Thank you! 🙏
I too had arthritis in my whole body, started in my elbows. Thought it was a injury from training to hard at the gym. Then it spread to my knees, then shoulders, then hips and then hands. Blurry vision, hair fell out, muscle weakness, depression, fatigue, heart burn and extreme anxiety. I literally was dieing.

Dorin Ciobanu Yeah it's good, so long as you listen to what it means. People tend to switch off their critical mind when they trust a source. Appeals to honesty like "I don't know much about this but..." or "I'm not a scientist but..." create a sense of transparency and relatability so can paradoxically make you more accepting of what the speaker says. Notice that politicians use those disclaimers all the time; they know it lets them make things up without being called out as liers later.
to be fair, he's wrong about alot of other things he says he's an expert in. He believes what he's saying though, which is relaxing. a lot of people are just fake.
12345nadine I'm interested to know what things you've you've heard him be wrong about? I heard him say some completely wrong things about genetics and neuroscience once: he claimed that whenever you experience something new it 'unlocks' new genes within you, which is utterly false.
@@TheRABIDdude thats actually true btw, about genetics. It's kind of like how you can be predisposed to a certain mental illness, and if you're around a tough social environment for long enough, it can make it manifest. But he's completely wrong about gender differences for example. There are differences, sure, but we have no way of telling whether they're nature or nurture unless we grow a man and a woman in a lab, treat them exactly the same, then monitor their behavior. Men and women have been rewarded and punished for different things for centuries, we really can't draw a conclusion about what they're like without it. Like in this video he talked about how important it is to remove all confounding variables in studies when he was talking about whether meat was bad for your health, but he doesn't seem to apply that same logic to this. And I think it's cause he's emotionally invested in poeticizing gender in a yin and yang kind of way, but it's not based on any real science. He also seems to be a biological essentialist, meaning he links how people behaviorally turn out directly to biology, and he ends up denying societal pressures as an important factor that can sometimes override biology. So like, he's said before that based on how much a person bounces from idea to idea, you can predict whether they're going to turn out to be conservative or liberal. That's partly true, but he doesn't seem to acknowledge that there are strong societal pressures that push people towards conservatism (or liberalism) using fear tactics, regardless of how that person actually thinks. He seems to want to believe so much that biology dictates everything, and individual power can overtake anything, that he seems to be denying that that are societal structures in place that push people towards certain beliefs, behaviors, ways of living etc just as much, if not more, than biology does, and sometimes the individual by themselves can't override them. Unless they speak up about it. Which he then often calls SJW-esque, collectivist or narcissistic.
I'm on the carnivore diet. Before I was though, I removed bread, baked goods and sugar from my diet and added All Bran to my diet for a year. I lost 50 lbs. From 205 to 155 @ 5'4. I did this so that I could get off my cholesterol medication (creator 10mg) and because I had diverticulosis. A week ago I went full carnivor no cheating. In that week I lost 5 lbs. I poop way less, my IBS is gone, and when I wipe, there's nothing there. I don't need to eat as much food by far to feel satisfied. I'm continuing this for at least a few months and see where it goes. But I feel fantastic.
*vegans have left the chat* Edit: omg I made this comment over a year ago and people are still arguing over it! It was a joke, people. Calm down y’all.
I'm vegan for environmental reasons. Not for the animals. I'd be interested in trying a carnivore diet but replacing the meat with high protein near replacements (tofu, seitan etc).

Here's a funny aside: I pulled out "The Joy of Cooking," written in 1935, to get ready for the turkey stuffing like I do every year. I happened to see a page upfront of dietary realities and advice. Included are observations like this: - Americans eat wayyyy too many carbs. Bad for everyone but Athletes and Children. - Since 1900, Americans have increased sugar consumption 25%, and that's bad. - The newly emerging "pre-processed foods" coming into our houses are very bad for you. That's in 1935...
Amazing! It sounds like historical data and common knowledge on diet have been deeply covered up even more than what we discovered with the exposing of Dr. John Yudkin's story, and the fat vs. sugar scandal of 1977. On a note related to that, I've always found it such a tragic irony that many vegans are very anti-fat and pro-sugar when this is leftover propaganda from the sugar business giants. Vegans are often very critical of industrial food propaganda when it comes to meat and animal products, but many of them seem to be willfully ignorant to information about sugar, grains, carbs, and soy. I have a hunch that acknowledging this info would make it a lot harder to be a healthy vegan, so they choose to stay blind.

The obesity problem raised its ugly face, when we went from fresh foods to factory made foods, that contained far to much sugar and salt and god knows what else. People now know, that these foods cause problems but listening to Jordan, it seems there is far more about food that we don't know. He says he's not an expert, but he is in his own situation- no dietician would have recommended his diet. Its what his daughter found out after years of experimentation and now he follows a similar diet. How interesting, it goes against all the rules but its good for him and his family. He does look better, so good luck with that Jordan
Thank you for sharing that John Christmas! I use to eat that way but the doctors kept pushing me to eat more carbs, fruit, and veggies and I gained weight. I learned foods with preservatives are even worse for my body and mind and my daughters especially with Lyme Disease so I cut those out and went back to clean eating. It has helped but Canivare will probably be the best for us. Type 2 diabetic so I have to be careful and she is insulin resistant. I have to be very careful with keystones my Dr said to go into it slowly. So far so good though I am excited to go full Canivare and hopefully we both feel amazing and gain our energy back.
The food industry covers up most of its shenanigans!!! High fructose corn syrup is worse than sugar and does more damage....read labels!! Have a blessed day....
@@michelepace777 People were healthier during the war, despite huge restrictions in diet. apart from lead poisoning, of course. The obvious benefit of carnivore is that it IS an extreme elimination diet. The downsides are that it goes against everything we really know about nutrition. Meat was a precious resource for hunter gatherers, but the evidence is that they survived more on nuts and berries and roots. Modern diets are simply toxic. Toxic oils. Toxic chemicals. Toxic sugars. Toxic culture around food too. I'm a skinny dude. I fast. I exercise. (a bit less since my poor old dog died) and turns out I'm prediabetic. Why? Well, I eat crap, that's why. And I gave up gluten 29 years ago.....
I've been struggling with my weight ever since I hit 30, throughout my teenage years and 20s I was always lean. I played sports as a teenager, I remember having an enormous appetite especially around 15 years old but I'd always be in shape, underweight if anything. My weight was always hovering around 70kgs in my 20s and I would have been slightly less as a teenager. I'm 5'3 with broad shoulders, and generally had lean muscle as a teenager. In my 20s I maintained this with occasional weight gain every now and again which was easily reversed within a few weeks. When I hit 27-28, I was pushing hard in the gym and bulked up a fair bit. I then got into bad habits of stopping going to the gym, drinking way too much alcohol and only eating take aways and junk food. I started gaining weight from then on. Every time I tried to revert to losing that weight it just wasn't going away. I cut back on alcohol a bit as it was starting to become a bit of a problem, but would still drink at weekends and eat crap. Then I checked my weight at Xmas - up to 84kgs, my lipids were all off, ldl and TGs were sky high, vit d in its boots and I had developed diabetes. Been on metformin and ozempic the last month. I saw this video and thought I'll give it a try, tried keto 3 years ago but failed. Initially I was getting cravings for sugar and headaches which subsided over a few days. When I get hungry now, I eat steak, eggs or both, and cheese and ham for lunch. I've had some prawns, lamb chops and lamb and beef mince as well. I have noticed weight loss, but thought there's still a way to go. Checked the scales today - lost 8kgs in 2 weeks. I cannot believe it. This diet obviously works. It may just be water weight and I'll see if it continues to go down. My aim is to maintain at 70kgs, I'm 75kgs right now. I would urge anyone struggling with weight loss to give it a try.
2 things I love that he said : 1. His Prefaced his journey by saying I am not a dietary specialist this is just what worked for me. 2. “ A month? I can by my nails from a windowsill for a month” - this is an excellent mindset to have about having an open mind to trying something new you may be skeptical of.
Joe is just the best interviewer. He stops Jordan and asks him to define depression. Joe knows what depression is and so does Jordan of course but there are different levels and nuances. Most interviewers would feel ashamed to ask this question. Joe realizes it is important to settle what we are actually talking about and the severity involved.
My ADHD child hated taking meds and simply refused to take it, so We shifted from carbo loading to meat, veg, and chocolate, and he not only performed much better in school but he finished with University pass.
Jordan is right, this is real. I always had severe inflammation in my joints and muscles, and my muscles were all tight to the point where it hurt to stretch and I couldnt even touch my toes. I switched to a clean diet without any preservatives and my recovery speed is faster, im more flexible, and I feel like a weight was lifted off of me. I feel like a new person thats way better than my old self, all from switching my diet to mainly chicken, and sometimes have some fresh fruits and vegetables with it. Processed foods are full of poison. The poisons mess with peoples hormones, they causes cancer, they cause inflammation, and they cause degeneration of neural pathways. Grow your own food and live off of it for a month and you wont ever want to go back to anything processed. Buy from local farmers/butchers if possible that dont use pesticides, or antibiotics. use stainless steel cookware that isnt coated in poison. avoid microwaving or putting hot food on anything made of plastic.
As someone with psoriasis, type 2 diabetes and psoriatic arthritis. Hes definitely got a point ...the immune system is one hell of a beast to understand...
Rick Lane You may be interested to hear what investigative journalist Nina Teicholz research has to say (on JRE and lectures on YT) regarding Harvard’s studies on the carnivorous diet.
I am a 73-year-old retired school and clinical psychologist. In January of 2019 I viewed this Joe Rogan program. I now have followed the carnivore diet for eight months with the following results: loss of 32 pounds; no longer pre-diabetic; resolved sleep apnea; resolved GERD; and completely resolved psoriasis.
Thomas Kowalski congrats that’s awesome. Have you checked your lipid profile? That’s my only concern as a person with cholesterol issues. Also, do you only eat beef?
My HDL cholesterol, glucose, triglyceride, HbA1c, and ketone blood test results are good. LDL cholesterol and Total cholesterol are high. I eat beef, pork, lamb, bison, calf’s li ver, fish, shrimp, eggs, cheese, butter, tallow, greens, pickles, tomatoes, onions, and berries. I flip between a carnivore and ketogenic diet.
@@nomdeplume4543 Just to possibly alleviate some concerns (in case you didn't already know), high LDL by itself is not a marker for risk of heart disease. As long as your Triglyceride/HDL ratio is good, that's a better indicator. Additionally, you can order a more thorough lipid test, a NMR LipoProfile, to find out your LDL-P, which is more important than LDL-C (what's measured in a typical blood work) when determining risk of heart disease. If your LDL is Pattern A, then nothing to worry about. If it's Pattern B, then that's concerning. If you were *really* concerned, you can also get a Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scan to determine if there's any arterial calcification, which is a very good indicator of heart attack risk. The NMR LipoProfile and CAC scan will determine with higher certainty your risk of a heart attack than conventional blood work which only tests for LDL-C. For more information, you should check out Dave Feldman's work at cholesterolcode.com
I started this 1 month ago. I said what can I lose, I'll try it for 30 days. Keeping an open mind, much to my surprise it's been 30 day. Im down to 202 from 214, lost 2 pants sizes, no more back pain, numbness in hands have more energy, sleep all night and seem to have mental clarity. I do not work out at all. omg I am Loving this.I'm a believer!! I'm sticking with it. I cannot wait to see what happens next month. This is GOLD!
One of the craziest things about severe allergies is that "feelings of impending doom" is an initial symptom! I asked several allergist if this was true and they both said "oh, yes and pay attention if you feel that!" I am going to say that he had an allergic reaction, and they can go on for several days, but 25 days... might be something on top of a reaction. I don't remember doom with my severe wheat allergy, but I was so busy trying to breathe that I don't remember much else. I also never went into anaphylaxis, my body always stopped short of that.
Any time I've consumed food that causes internal inflammation to the extent that I've needed epinephrine I've absolutely felt the impending feeling of doom. I assumed it was just anxiety on overload until my doctor said it was a sign of going into anaphylaxic shock. 🥺🥺🥺
I am so happy to hear mr. Peterson talked about this subject. I have had a similar experience when I drastically reduced my food intake to only certain items and a lot of issues I had simply disappeared. I also have a daughter who sings birth had a lot of undiagnosed issues some intestinal, some skin related, other mood and behavior related and I did realize that the her food intake greatly influenced all of those issues. She seems to prefer meat consumption, I am now wondering if her body is giving her signal of what it needs?
My husband and I have completely changed our eating lifestyle… from a fairly average way of eating to complete carnivore- meat, eggs, water, animal fats. No sugar, no carbs whatsoever so ever. Feeling ‘awake’ was my first moment of realisation…we are 1 week in and embracing the food that is clearly nourishing our bodies, minds and spirits…
I like the fact that Rogan doesn't interrupt or talk over his guests. It's so refreshing. I don't have any examples off the top of my head but I can't stand when people talk over others in these kind of interviews.
Embarking on the HyperKeto journey has been nothing short of transformative for me. Gone are the days of yo-yo dieting and feeling deprived.

The support and community aspect of HyperKeto are invaluable, providing motivation and accountability every step of the way. If you're ready to take control of your health and experience lasting results, HyperKeto is the answer.
At the start of this video I was like: "Oh, it's 28 minutes, I don't know if I can sit through this". But at the 24 minute mark I was like: "Oh, no it's almost over. I wonder what search term I can use to find out more info"...
@@ildesu789 How does being addicted to medication skew any of his findings? He ate differently and it worked.. it's not like the medication magically made his body work properly
The thing about food, someone cannot fathom how bad they feel unless they reach a more optimal state. If you've always felt bad then bad is your normal, and you might even think it's good. It's not until you truly reach a more optimal state that you see that you've actually been functioning in a bad state. And the difference between bad and optimal is incredible. When you get a taste of your body operating as it should, life is a totally different place, that you didn't know existed.
It's the same with being obese and losing weight. I always tell people yea looking better is cool but what will amaze you is how you feel. How everything just becomes easy. Walking without getting tired, bending over to pick something up without getting out of breath, Walking up stairs with ease, not breathing hard when eating or talking, etc. Everytime you notice one of those little things you're just like "wow!".
Also goes the other way. I was very healthy until around 18 and now every day feels like hell. Constant regret and just wishing I could go back to that.
U hit the nail on the head with optimal state vs bad state. Sometimes u gotta get outside the lines and find what works for you instead of listening to the masses.
JBP's carnivore diet story changed my life, I first seen it July 2nd 2018 as a vegan of 5 years with failing health. July 3rd I began a carnivore diet overnight and I'm still doing it to this day and absolutely thriving.
@@EPICFAILKING1 yep, it came to me at the right time. Most won't accept they were wrong until they get chronic illness from the diet. I used to excuse away all my ailments as "detox" symptoms. I was a silly naive kid, thought I had everything figured out. I'm now one of the most anti-vegan people around.
@@Silphwave that's a really inspiring story man, I'm happy for you as are a lot of other people I imagine. You should share your story with other Vegans, though I'm sure you already have and with much resistance on their side lol.
@@a.n.808 yes it is, you aren't helping anyone or anything whilst you simultaneously kill yourself. I don't want any part of that in my life, thanks. I'm sure all those chickens and cows out there are singing your praises 😂
I have been 90% carnivore for 8 months and I am amazed by the results: honestly the only reason I am not 100% is because socially it is very difficult. But the days I am only carnivore I feel amazing. Menopause symptoms are gone, my belly is flat, my skin is improving. It is crazy and against everything I learnt about diet for the past 30 years. I should add that my blood test are stellar. All absorbable nutrients are in red meat. No deficiency whatsoever with this diet. Check this 85 year old Canadian lady who has been carnivore for 65 years she is a picture of health looking 20 years younger. She was interviewed by Dr Chaffee.
I truly love Jordan Peterson. Huge fan. I'm now on this diet and it's been helping me to combat depression, weight, anxiety, migraines, chronic pain and multiple auto-immune diseases. My skin has also cleared up.
This video was a turning point in my life. For 7 years I suffered from the crippling fatigue and cronique anemia , and bunch of others symptoms till the point where I couldnt walk. And I had this video in my suggestions for a long time since I like to listen to Jordan Peterson. But I always ignored it thinking that he talks about how he lost weight. Once I watched it, it just cliked in my head, because every time I would eat a slice of braed my stomach would be bloated and I didnt pay much attention to it. After this video, I stopped eating glutten, and after 3 days my fatigue started fading, my back stopped hurting, some skin problems I had dissapeared, urinary infections disapeared. After that I had to cut more and more stuff, and Im stil int the process of healing but Im doing much better comparing to before when I couldnt walk. Thank you Joe and mister Peterson for opening this subject.
@@GeraltOfRivia99Hi So later on when I told my doctor about the bloating, she sent my stool example to a laboratory where they found out I have a gut dysbiosis, meaning I have to much bad bacteria and not enough of good bacteria in my gut. And the bad bacteria feeds of from iron and vitamins. And gut dysbiosis will mean your gut is inflamed and that bad bacteria are destroying your gut wall, so the toxins can enter your blood and reach the brain. That's why I was suffering from the brain fog and deconcentration. So now I'm on a very strict diet, trying to repopulate the gut with the good bacteria by eating a lot of fermented salads, and kefirs. Also a lot of bone broth since it contains collagen necessary for reparing the gut wall. I'm doing better, but I'm still not healed. It will be a long process. But I'm happy I finally know what was wrong with me So, comparing to before when I had very low levels of vitamin d, b12 and iron, they are now on almost ideal levels. I am functioning much better now.
@@sabinahadzipasicbesic6613 thanks alot for the update. ive always suspected i had gut issues because for the past few years ive been struggling. same as if i eat bread my stomach bloats like crazy. so that would make sense if you had SIBO or to much bad bacteria. diet is so tricky to stick to at first but it looks like its really the first thing we should be doing....tough bullet to bite but atleast ive already started eating better. good luck!
@@GeraltOfRivia99 yes diet is hard, but it's not like we have a choice either. For me it's impossible to go back to the old eating habits, symptoms would be too awful. I do cheat here and there but in general I stick to the diet because it's the only way I can function
@@GeraltOfRivia99 As they suggest, it often takes quite a bit of time to both realize, and eliminate the effects of things in your diet. Regarding bloating, though: be aware that your gut biome depends heavily on what you're eating. Different bacteria eat different things, and so the ones you'll have the most of, are the ones you feed, regularly. So if you suddenly introduce cake, and you haven't been eating cake, you'll get a bit bloated, because you don't have a lot of the bacteria that can digest that, easily. Instead you'll get less helpful bacteria dealing with it, which produce more gas that bloats you. In other words, not all bloating or gastro-intestinal distress is from something that's bad for you. That said, certain things are just not particularly healhty for you; sugar and white flower are among them.
JP, you may not be a dietary expert but the dietary path you have taken is so true. I started 3 years ago with removing carbs now I am on a carnivore diet. In that time I have lost 28kg my diabetes is no longer a problem my arthritis and severe joint pain has gone. As well as many other medical conditions. Could not recommend it highly enough!
Having started low carbs, I can relate to my mental clarity. I can also relate to the alertness as soon as waking up as well. My depression is fleeting as well.
yip. and you wont believe how many judgemental fuckers will tell me to snap out of it even though i have achieved a lot more than most whilst having crippling depression
My favorite question is what do you have to be depressed about ? or I understand what your going through , from person that’s never experienced depression :
I started carnivore 30 days ago and I’ve had the same results. Bye bye depression! No more meds and no withdrawal. No pms symptoms. Sharper brain function. Reduced body aches. I went for acupuncture today for pinched nerves in my back and they took my temp. It was 99.9, a coworker was recently really sick, so maybe I caught the virus, but I had no idea I was “sick.” I’ve had bad depression since I was 14, now 42. The impending doom was constant for all those years. I now feel like I did when I was a young kid. Love it!!!!
Meat doesn’t digest like pasta or carbs. However, if you are truly constipated up your fat intake. Even a pat of grassfed butter chased with warm water will act as Roto Rooter. 😂
OMG.. you are right regarding having no PMS Symptoms. My recent menstrual cycle, I didn’t know it was coming. I didn’t have to take any pain meds. Thanks for helping me see it
Anyone who does bodybuilding will tell you that eating a strictly carnivorous diet is the healthiest and most successful way to lose fat and gain muscle. I am a middle aged woman, was morbidly obese, and went on a carnivore diet eating less than 10 carbs a day. I lost over 100 lbs in a year and was the healthiest I’ve ever been. It’s just difficult to stay eating that way because high carb foods “taste” good. You have to just keep doing it and not cheat on the diet, not even a little, and you will be the healthiest you have ever been.
I love this man. I've was pretty overweight for most of my life and since I started the Carnivore diet at the beginning of the year I've been in my normal weight range. God bless this man.
