The Real Reasons Why The Carnivore Diet Works 

Carnivore for 8 weeks now. Down 35lbs this morning. I’m never hungry. No sugar cravings. Arthritis is gone. No depression. Fist month was hard. Now it’s easy.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, ME, adrenal fatigue. After two years of being primarily homebond, we finally found 2 medications this past May that lower my pain from a 9 or 10 to about a 7. We heard about this diet through Joe Rogan interviewing Dr. Shawn Baker, Mikhaila Peterson, and her father. We have tried everything with no improvement, so we decided why not give this a try. I have been eating the carnivore diet for 34 days now. I'm not healed, I still have lots of pain, but I am noticing big changes. Instead of waking up with a 7 or 8 on the pain scale, many mornings it is now a 4 or 5! This is HUGE!!! Most days over the past 2 years I feel like my body is lead, just to raise my hand to scratch my head is painful. Now most days I have some energy, it varies, but there is almost always some energy. The only thing different is that I eat only meat. It was terribly hard for me the first week, but now I love the simplicity. Food doesn't define my day. I usually eat one meal a day, sometimes a snack of bacon, but I am full. I never experienced feeling full ever in my life before. It's an interesting journey and I'm excited to see where it leads! Also, being very sick, I obviously can't exercise, but I am losing weight every week. I've lost over 20 pounds already which mentally makes me feel so much better!

Carnivore works so well for many people because meat is their most ancestrally appropriate nutrition source

My hands have been cracking and bleeding since I was 19 years old (I'm 58 now) and now that I'm doing the carnivore diet my hands look totally normal. Dermatologists over the years never had a fix for my problem. My hands were a constant source of pain most of my life. I am amazed that this is all I needed to do. It's like a miracle! Also my acid reflux issues went away too.

I know I'm a little late to this but I've recently switched this diet and it's been a borderline life changing experience so far! I started to hear about it a few years ago but thought like everyone else did that this is insane! How can a person go #2 let alone, LIVE on a diet like that? Keep in mind that I've gone from one extreme to the other in terms of dieting to see what does and doesn't work before, vegan, keto, weight watchers, you name it, I've tried it but none of it worked. I just kept getting bigger and bigger year after year and the best I could do was just work out to the point of exhaustion to keep my weight even. After being on this diet for only 2+ weeks, this is the BEST I've ever felt! I've already lost 20 pounds JUST from switching to a all meat diet. Not only that but I have some pretty severe arthritis in my lower back and neck which was getting to the point of no return mentally because I had tried everything I could think of to keep the inflammation down but literally nothing worked. The inflammation I had was so severe that I couldn't bend up to get out of bed in the morning and I dreaded waking up because of how much I was hurting each morning and had to take pain medication first thing to just feel somewhat human again. When I say that this is the best decision I've ever made in my life I am not joking at all. The carnivore diet pretty much saved my life and I wish more people knew about it and didn't think it was all smoke and mirrors. It's the real deal folks!

I have so much candida over growth, parasites, H pylori overgrowth and babesia and lyme as well, a LOT of lyme... and this diet is helping me SO MUCH so anyone saying its all crazy is mistaken

I’ve never been on any diet nor changed my eating habits in my 37 years. I began the carnivore diet 32 days ago hoping to reduce inflammation in my colon (proctitis). The first week was rough, but now I feel great. I have sustained energy and and more even temperament. I started exercising again a couple days ago and, other than a little uneasiness the first day (and a sore butt by the second), I’ve felt good. I gave up eggs over a week ago because I kept having loose stool. Everything’s been completely normal since then. I never would have guessed eggs were a problem. I’ve always eaten what I like. Also, my proctitis symptoms haven’t shown up in a couple weeks. My GI is supportive of what I’m doing. If I still am doing well by Nov I don’t have to see him again, at least not for awhile. Hope things keep going well for me.

Probably the best and most concise explanation I've seen of why the Carnivore diet works. Connects all the dots of keto, lectins, over indulging etc. Great video! 👍🏼

What the examiner said when I had my blood test done, all she said was, what ever you are doing keep it up.

If you listen closely, you can actually hear vegan's heads exploding in the background.

i have ibs. i was recommended the low fodmap diet, but it wasn't fixing my inflated stomach because I was still eating too many fodmaps from foods lower in fodmaps, like rice. The carnivore diet has been blissful on my gut. it really is the way to go for me since I cant have carbs at the amount i want them without being bloated for a week. GREAT VIDEO!!!

this vid was the second i’ve ever seen of his. just came across him about 40 min ago. can already tell i respect him. he’s so upfront, open and honest and really trying to give us as much info as he can-esp when he shared all of his labs. thanks dr

I am a woman in my 50s in menopause and I did keto for a long time with very limited results. It became super hard to lose any weight. Then I discovered Code Red lifestyle and did that for 2 months and the weight was slow to come off. It was a bit different than keto but very low carb. Then I found carnivore and have been doing that ever since up until the present and counting and the weight is still coming off. I feel great too so I am going to keep going on this diet. It's so easy to just have to eat one kind of food and not worry about what you are eating, how much and all that info that gets lost in translation. And I feel full all the time. No hunger or cravings. I eat twice a day and intermittent fast the rest of the time and drink a gallon of water everyday and get my rest. Hope this can help others.

I'm 33 years old and I'm on week 3 now of the carnivore diet I have never felt this good since I was a teenager I really think everybody should try this at least for a month

It is refreshing to hear your comments comparing eating to working out physically. After 3 months on a carnivore regimen I have achieve many positive results as measured by how I feel, sleep and sense satisfaction with less food, less often. I have lab results to show significant reduction in blood lipids and reduction in inflammatory markers too.

What you said about overdoing it on plants hit close home for me. In 2016, I was eating close to quarter pound of broccoli daily along with tons of other vegetables. I was constantly fatigued and couldn't get out of bed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Plants are absolutely unnecessary in the human diet. Carbohydrates are NOT an Essential Macro Nutrient. ANY carbohydrate consumed creates an imbalance. Any excess Glucose in bloodstream causes cardio-vascular damage. The body knows exactly how much Glucose is needed and manufactures it from dietary protein. The process is called Gluconeogenesis. Boring? Anyone that states that eating animal fat/meat is boring needs an adjustment in brain function. Any of your support for eating Carbohydrates(plants) which is actually SUGAR is Nutritionally Absurd. Attempting to rationalize eating poison(Plants) other than when used as a spice to flavor animal fat and animal protein only promotes ill health. There is no health related reason to have plant matter in the human diet. ALL Mammals use FAT as Metabolic Fuel. Herbivores are either "front end fermenters" (very efficient) or "back end fermenters" (much less efficient). The fermentation process in herbivores is to convert fibrous carbohydrate material (very low grade nutrients) into Fat to be used as Metabolic Fuel. Front end fermenters have a "rumen." They re-chew their plant food several times before it is then fermented in the gut. Ruminants produce specific enzymes for this process. Back end fermenters have a Caecum which is the "fermentation organ" that converts plant materials into Fat to be used as Metabolic Fuel. Great Apes have a Caecum. They are Herbivores. The Caecum is not as efficient as the Rumen. That is why Great Apes are sometimes observed eating their own feces. The fermentation wasn't complete. Humans do not have a Rumen or a Caecum. Humans do not produce the enzymes used to convert plant matter into Fat. Humans may have had a Caecum in the far distant past before evolution converted us into Carnivores. Humans have an incredibly acidic Alimentary Canal. So acidic that any plant based enzymes are destroyed in the stomach. Herbivores do not produce concentrated Hydrochloric Acid. Only Carnivores produce concentrated Hydrochloric Acid in the stomach. Humans are Physiologically Carnivores. It cannot be rationalized by suggesting "doctor" says we should eat plants. The "dawn of agriculture" was about 10,000 years ago. That is when humans first began reintroducing plants into our diet and the lobg term effects are easy to see now. Humans are rife with chronic diet related disease. Just like house cats forced to eat dry soy based "cat food." They always develop renal disease. The reason is that cats are obligate carnivores. Humans are too. Stop eating plants and make your body healthy.

I really wanted to go plant based, but every time I would try my eczema and stomach issues would flare up. I would try and push though it but it would just get worse. Been watching a lot of videos on carnivore diet, and I think I’m ready to give it a try! Going to start tomorrow 07/21/2021. Wish me luck!

Interesting breakdown. I started a week ago and managed to last my friends stag do on it. I just pushed through the keto flu and woke up early this morning but didn’t turn over and try and fight it, I just got up and started the day without any arguments with myself. I have inflammation, constant sinus inflammation and gut issues, including an ulcer and really hoping these start to go away so I can get rid of my meds. So far I’m improving every day and it’s only been 7 days

Intermittent fasting with a carnivore diet for the win! Though carnivore gives me the runny shits often, done it for two months now, feel great! Lost 15kgs

To everyone claiming that humans evolved to eat more than meat, remember: Sometimes meat was scarce. The body wanted meat, but could not obtain it. That is the main reason WHY we ate other things also.

Agree about everything except adding plants back in. If I feel great and didn't feel so great before, I'm not going to mess around with what works.

I've only been on the carnivore for a few days now but I can tell you that knowing I dont need to snack right now because in a few hours I GET to have a Ribeye has helped tremendously. Mouth pleasure was killing me. Eating out of boredom was killing me. Now I feel like all the snacking and BS eating isn't worth it.

Dr, if you want you can get yearly labs from me as of now I won’t go back to eating fibre cause carbohydrates give me so much brain fog it give me “adhd symptoms”

The Circadian Rhythm is fruits and vegetables consumed in summer (fructose) to fatten up for the possible lack of food in winter. This happened to early man for millions of years.

You are the 1st person on YT that makes sense of this whole issue. Other people have their opinions and they religiously defend their view of diet and nutrition to the death. As I get older, I have pretty much cut out red meats and limit my chicken intake. I do like eggs and grass fed milk. Most importantly, I listen to my body.

I love how I feel on carnivore. My stomach issue is going away, my diabetes is dying and and my hypertension is getting sick

Regarding hormetic stressors, it seems clear that we need some amount of stress, but I doubt that we would specifically need the kind of stress that eating plants provides in order to be healthy

I cut plants out for a while and went undercooked carnivore. I was diagnosed with intestinal cystitis as a result from having chronic bladder infections that antibiotics would not clear up. After a while on that carnivore diet, my pain and inflammation went away. No more infections. I have permanently cut out high oxalate veggies, night shades and high sugar fruits. Bladder feels awesome. 👍

Why are the detractors wasting their power on you tube videos? Wouldn't their skills be better used lecturing Inuit populations about their imminent deaths?

Thank you for sharing this! I'm currently studying nutrition in school and have been practicing it on myself and others who will let me for 8-9 years. I really like this video and I like you as a speaker and a teacher. You've earned a new subscriber 👍 I also read a ton of books about nutrition. Nora Gedguades, Weston Price, Sally Fallon, Terry Whals. And watch other Dr's on youtube. Dr Berg, Dr. Daren Schmidt mostly but I've seen others. I think that the carnivore diet is a very sound diet from all that I've read. And what you go over in this video about nutrient density and structure and anti-inflammatory properties is already well known so that ads more validity. It makes perfect sense to me that this diet could heal many issues if eaten correctly. I'm on my 3rd day in and last night I slept like a baby lol

Great video post Anthony. I've been on the Carnivore diet for about a month now and I have gotten rid of my acne and most of my eczema. I have also gained about 7kg (60 kg to 67 kg)

I just started a week ago after three weeks on keto and it is working for me. I am a kidney transplant patient with bowel issues and a colostomy. The major success aside from weight loss is kicking cravings for snacks. Thanks.

I think the title of the video is reducing the potential viewers, which is a shame, since this video is an amazing explanations about healthy diets in general from biological point of view to emotional one.

genuinely one of the most information structured organized videos ive seen. I subscribed because of this video

Remember when doctors prescribed cigarettes i do.

Thank you for this video! You explained everything in a way I have never heard before. I was Vegan for 8 years and just started eating meat again. I was a SICK vegan and it got worse and worse. I went to the store the other day and realized my body did not want anything that was there. I am now researching the carnivore diet! My diet right now is Celery+Spinach Juice, Beef, Salmon, Bone broth, fish oil n shilajit and I feel soooooo good!!! 😇🙌

I'd say this is the best explanation of reasons I've ever heard.

More + drawbacks : 1) I got better low carb because I was B1 deficient. Main point for fibromyalgia. 2) it is naturally low in oxalate and make you dump it (in the elimination diet theme). BUT: 1) Low in malic acid, so I am liver flushing now, I got congestion because I was also high in fats. 2) my uric acid increased, but that's also a B1 issue I think. 3) my iron went through the roof in my hair test. 4) My appetite for meat went too low, and I had more signs of hypothyroidism. (I precise I didn't go carnivore for weight loss but guts and muscle pains issues) I started 3 years ago, and both oxalate and B1 issues were not well known. I am now animal based and we need to follow our instinct. Some people Will need to stay carnivore but not everybody.

I really think you should go on Joe Rogans podcast!!

I'm into flexibility. Personal responsibility. Freedom of choice. Respect is a given, even if we disagree with one another. I'm new to carnivore, but not to being human. It's about sharing 😊 I truly appreciate what you are sharing and this is how we make the world a better place. Thank you!

me and my lady are 9 weeks into carnivore and we are feeling ultra fantastic. our diet is beef, lamb, eggs, some fish & chicken, bone broth with liver, coconuts and an occasional avocado. were just starting to work in more liver and heart. and we have 3 different types of salt.. lots of salt. that is pretty much it. sugar craving, snacking and low blood sugar anger are gone. feel rock steady all the time. were considering adding in moringa and ashitaba powders. any thoughts on that ? love your videos. thank you.

Love it. It makes me think that we should eat cyclically. Winter time as carnivores, and Summer time more veggies.

The statement: “if you need food to make you happy, that is not a good place to be” although simple, it sounds like a revelation. Hormonal hunger would create an endless ciclo: “ I eat because I’m unhappy. And I’m unhappy because I eat”. Self Education is key. You can’t really on most doctors, or the food industry to tell you the truth since they are part of the problem.

... is it just me or is this carnivore diet just magically appearing all of a sudden?

Did carnivore for three weeks to loose weight before holiday. I lost a stone and my problem with being bloated disappeared. Came back a month ago and just ate normal. Weight nearly all gone back on but main problem of bloating back also. I’m looking forward to going back to carnivore feel so much better. And it’s true I never wanted to snack and never had the crazy hungry feeling I used to have before carnivore

Nice to hear a balanced view on this way of eating. Thank you for being brave enough to try it and for sharing your experience. We can help a lot of people by sharing our experiences. Thank you!

I havent eaten red meat in 20 years... just past 6months discovered very low iron, nevet been b4. Craving steak.. been eating it for 5weeks now throwing in eggs, cheese and greens. Starting to feel better.. now at stage to go full carnivore

Great video, I have been implementing a carnivore diet for the last 100 days, and have never felt better. Recently have been craving vegetables and fruits. Over the last few days I started incorporating some plant foods back in, saurkraut, cherries, olives, fresh greens. I started to feel some anxiety creeping back in, old emotional patterns resurfacing. I am sharing this because of what you said about plants being stressors, I completely agree. I will plan on adding very small amounts back in here and there but not to the extent that I have in the past. Thank you again for your insights!

After being paleo-keto for amost a year, I went carnivore for a couple of months. Then I ended it with a three day fast and reintroduced some fermented vegetables. It made me realize how much better I feel with severely restricting carbs and sugar. Even on a paleo-keto diet, I'm still going to keep my focus on animal foods and be more cautious about which plant foods I include and how often.

Wow I'm very impressed by the way he puts his arguments. Very calm and reasonable :) definitely going to watch more

and here i am, realising that being a vegetarian for 18 years fucked me over super hard... I started when i was 10years old, so now i'm left with tons of health problems... This makes absolute sense tbh. I feel underdeveloped. Just started getting back into meat in February...This might solve all my health issues i'm struggling with atm. I've seen a lot of videos where people solved the same issues i have with this diet, so i'm def gonna try it. Thank you!

Thank you for your insight. I am pleased that you mentioned ketogenic diet. I suffer from lyme and it wont be far from the truth if I say ketogenic diet (6 months now) saved my life. Although it helps a lot, my condition is still pretty miserable, so the only meat diet is the next step I wanna try as soon as I´ll be ready to take the plunge. Again, thanks for your content.

At the end of the day whether you favor plant based or carnivore or omnivore, eat the diet that works for your body. The thing to do is that if you start having problems you may need to take a look at possibly reintroducing foods that have been excluded for a long time. That being said there are people who have been eating carnivore for 10, 15, 20, 30 years with zero plant intake and they are still enjoying vibrant health, so again back to the start do what works for you and don't worry about what everyone else is eating or not eating.

Dr. Gustin: You should check out Stan Efferding's Vertical Diet. It's basically Paleo with rice, potatoes, and some dairy put back in. Like Paleo, it's also a Low FODMAP program. It covers all your macro and micro bases with the whole foods that best get you what you need and you can easily scale it up or down based on whether you are trying to gain mass or lose mass. I feel great and energetic all day, every day. The primary problem with veganism is excessive consumption of high FODMAP foods long term, which are practically unavoidable on that diet as the vegan tries to get in enough food to meet calorie, macro, and micro demand. I've noticed a pattern lately among vegans where they feel the need to exclaim how they've had a great day...today. As if that's a rare occurrence for them, which I suspect it is given my own previous experience going plant based for a brief time years ago.

After a lil while on this diet I dont even want to snack and I dont crave sweets and junkfood like before, they do go away. And most of all my blood sugar is down, this diet is a blessing in disguise!

I love how buttmad this makes people!

I have been doing keto for over a year. I started to do it to get off of insulin. I was not intending to loose weight but I did 60 pounds. Got off insulin in four days. But my glucose readings would not come down below 100. I would wake up at 111 or 125 and go up as high as175. Eight days ago (9/10/19) I started carnivore. Yesterday the 17th I hade chicken. Had woke up at 114. Two hrs after eating I was at 143. Four hours after that I was at 179. ? Thought that was strange but then at midnight I was 87. Woke up at 98. First time I have been under 100. Just ate steak today 45 minutes ago. Let’s see what happens. I also had a lot of bloating, gas, burping , and constipation with keto.

I feel like consistent extended fasts are much more better than a carnivore gut microbiome reset

seed has 20x more vitamins etc then the whole food or herb etc. The problem is the digestion, but there is more nutrients in seeds than in fruits etc.

This same argument applies to vegan. Vegans. Not having pasteurised dairy, now avoiding vegetable oils a short term great feeling like you get fasting but long term not so good. Clearly carnivore is long term but eating plants is not. Essential amino acids Essential fatty acids There are NO essential carbohydrates.

Keeping in mind Canada's Inuit probably ate a carnivorous diet (meat, fish, perhaps occasional eggs and/or birds) exclusively for thousands of years, because the Arctic does not offer much vegetation in the short, cold summer. This changed during the last 50 years, to the detriment of the Inuit. Some people tell me the Inuit did not live long lives, I don't know if this is true, but it may be considering the several months of the year are continuously dark, temperatures are often around -40°, and they may have to compete with polar bears for food. Life is probably more stressful than living in any city, in the sunshine.

Good break down!... when ready to reintroduce plants, read The Plant Paradox first!

This is the first video I've seen of yours and based on this experience, I will be coming back often. Very well-spoken, great points, and to the point. Thanks!

On day 4!! So far, so good. Already feeling better.

Since going carnivore in August, I sometimes crave ice cream. I've started buying full fat whipping cream and adding sweetener. This calms the craving.

I think carnivore diet is going to do fine as long the source is natural like grass feed beef, raw milk, pastured eggs, sea fishes, etc. My mom start drinking pure, raw goat milk and it really helps to reduce her blood glucose level, something that can't be achieved from powdered goat milk which often added with sugar and soy protein.

That’s a phenominally eloquent way to describe our very complex relationship to food.... and incorporating the theme of a spectrum lends a new, elegant,perspective to looking at ourselves as organisms who are also complex.

I'm on this now and it is working fine. Easier then any diet and less expensive. But I still catch myself feeling guilty about no veggies....crazy what has been drilled into our brains so GIANT companies can make $$$ on corn and pharma

Listening to this makes me realize just how far ahead Natasha Campbell-McBride was with her GAPS protocol. Everyone seems to be coming around to something similar now: recognizing the microbiome as vitally important, recognizing a nourishing diet over a cleansing one, truly eliminating anything and everything that causes the body (stomach/intestines) trouble and building up a new flora for the gut eventually, over many months and years, returning to some of those hormetic stressors that many plants provide.

Chiropractors know a lot more than the drug pushing doctors I for one will never consult an doctor again over health matters, I had arthritis and cures it myself but with no drugs that the doctors subscribed , only with diet mostly meat products eggs cheese fish etc.

Using your experiment and research from others, like Dr. Baker, I am so excited to start the carnivore diet. I did keto for a while and felt a huge improvement in all aspects of health, but then plateaued and started to feel off (hair falling out, lightheadedness, dizziness, etc.). I can't wait to see if/how going carnivore can help. Love your info, Dr. Gustin!

Some really nice points, thank you!!

Dr. Gustin - Your comparison between eating plants and working out is extremely interesting and clever! This new perspective gives me food for thought.🤓 Seriously, well done and thank you!

You’re killing it! Love this video can’t wait to try carnivore

I've been doing 20 net carbs keto since last March and including a very large dinner salad in the mix. Combined with zero snacks, two meals a day and exercise I bid farewell to about 25 pounds and got back my highschool weight and waist line. Lately I've been looking for rational reasons to experiment with carnivore. Thanks for the tips.

I just think we have prehistoric cave man stomached with an Abundance of options like never before. You eat all meat! Gut adapts! You mostly carbs from fruit and veggies! The gut adapts To eat both at once confuses the gut and here in lies the issue.

This was probably the best framing of the issue that I’ve seen. Thanks! Never done full carnivore but I lost 53 pounds a few years ago once I stopped fearing red meat and tried Paleo. I lost a bunch of fat eating steaks and salmon and eggs with big salads. I can’t say I’m Paleo now, although I generally don’t do grains much. I always feel sharper and carry less fat when my percentage of food intake comprises more meat.

Iam not sure about your logic that plant foods don’t have a lot of what’s required to build human body. How about heavy weight animals that consume only grass? How do they build their bodies and become elephants, cows etc

I suspect that vitamin A depletion is one of if not THE primary reason people overcome many illnesses with a beef and water type approach. Grant Genereux's work on Vitamin A is really excellent. He's definitely onto something there.

this must be why vegans are always so angry. their food is stressing them out!

Loved this video, very detailed and straight forward, lot of good info! I just began my carnivore diet two weeks ago and have had amazing results. My hands and abdomen are no longer bloated/swollen, my psoriasis is clearing up, no more joint pain. My energy is back through the roof, where it used to stay. My muscle mass is gaining again. I used the recommended protein supplements as well and not only lost muscle but gained fat (possibly retained fluid). I've been a meat eater my entire life but decided to try a vegan diet, which I wound up doing on and off for two years with a lot of terrible side effects I'd never experienced but had little to no knowledge about the chemical or nutritional makeup of the plants, nuts, beans, etc. I was consuming. Switching to meat only was pretty easy for me I feel because I'd eaten it so frequently before (with no regard to what it may or may not being doing to my health and felt far better physically and mentally than I ever did eating a predominantly vegan/veggie diet) and everything has been great. That's my experience, anyways. Once again, great video.

Please slow down....you talk too fast!! I was having trouble hearing\understanding much of what you said !

I appreciate you making people think about this in a more critical and scientific way. It's important to helping us progress and understand more about what is actually good for our health. My question around your experience and hypothesis, is do you think inflammation, based on the idea that it is one of the, if not the biggest threat to our health, a potential root cause of disease, that it's analogous to breaking down muscle cells to grow more muscle? I get the idea, and find it compelling in some ways, but if inflammation is the culprit behind all that ails us as humans, then i cant see how forcefully adding foods that cause it to our diets to illicit that reaction for a stronger immune system makes sense. If we left out veggies permanently from our diets, consuming only animal meats, our most nutrient dense and bioavailable food source, do you believe that our immune systems would suffer and be stunted as a result? It sounds like someone telling me I need to make myself sick so my body can fight off being sick better in the future, when I could just not be sick and continue being healthy. I'd really like to hear your thoughts, again i appreciate you sharing your journey and admit that I may just be looking at all of this wrong. After a month of carnivore, I feel better than I have in the last decade, so figuring this stuff out is important to me.

Whats with chiropractors putting Dr in their title and then proceeding to give professional advice on subjects well out of their area of qualification. Not saying your info is bogas. Your doctor claim just seems a tad disingenuous as it relates to being a chiropractor not a medical doctor.

I’m just curious about “plant stressors” Cows only eat plants & they build structure, why wouldn’t plants help our bodies to build structure?

A vegan has a stroke with every word spoken.

you DON'T need to add plants back, that said, if you want to eat something plant based once in a while, its ok. I found that after many months on a carnivore diet I don't care for almost all plant products, very few actually draw my attention. after a year carnivore, I still feel the same about plants foods.

326 Vegans watched this video

I do a modified version of the carnivore diet where I eat fermented veggies like sauerkraut, kimchi, etc with the meat. It’s working well for me and helping repopulate my microbiome with beneficial bacteria.

A very good explanation.

Have you calculated nutrient density by dividing nutrients by grams? Or what? If you divide by calories, the most nutritionally densed foods will be plants, especially greens.

How old are you? Your hair looks amazing!

Great video, more content like this on carnivore please. After about a year on Keto I went full carnivore 10 days ago and feel great. Already lost a few pounds and plan on continuing for at least another month. I am interested in potential long term risks/benefits of this diet. Also if it is something I can use for building muscle, or cutting only. Thanks.

4:53 👌🏻

It sounds dubious to most if not everyone, but having tried it, it helped me more than any other diet, supplement, activity etc. that I've ever tried.

really great video i must try carnivore diet sometime :)

I think I heard correctly that you said people with Lyme disease should try the keto diet? I had late disseminated Lyme disease, and went on a keto diet at my doctor's suggestion. It was one of the best things I ever did! I moved away from it over time, ended up with breast cancer. We all know cancer feeds on sugar. Therefore, I went back to a ketogenic way of eating which again changed my life! I've also now tried carnivore and while I love it, I don't know that I want to eat that way all the time. So I went on it for about two and a half weeks, and then just went to a lower plant keto diet. My blood work has changed so much! It was already getting better every time I got my blood work done which is every 3 months. But this time after experimenting with the carnivore diet, it improved by leaps and bounds above what it has done every 3 months over the three years I've been doing a ketogenic diet again.

... Tells you why the diet works, provides no evidence or resources for research. Thanks for telling anyone what they want to hear, hope you'll have a safe journey.

So I was vegan for 3 years. Raw vegan for one year until I started to develop symptoms of a mental illness along with dizzy spells, and weakness. Then I went back to omnivore and felt better. Went vegan again to be more “ecofriendly” for six months. Started breaking out in acne, feeling depressed, zero sex drive, and fatigue. Found out about carnivore and almost instantaneously I felt more “sane” grounded, confident, and physically stronger. Also experienced clear skin, more muscles without much exercise, higher sex drive, and better
