Top 5 Benefits of Carnivore Diet 2023 [Honest and Heartfelt Review] - Ep 67 

I hope you all appreciate this heart felt and honest recap of my time on the Carnivore Diet. Many more videos to come on my experiences over the last 12 or so months on This Carnivore Diet

I used to buy candy bars by the case and have them in my drawer at work and eat one about every 4 hours, so I could get my brain into high gear and work like 3 people. Now I can't do that anymore, but that's okay. Day 106 on Carnivore, down 90lbs and none of my clothes fit!

For me, having honey or fruit is like an alcoholic rationalizing having a beer because it isn’t hard liquor.

Couldn't agree more, I experienced many similar benefits. No more loose teeth, bleeding gums, sensitive teeth, blocked sinuses, mouth breathing, left eye twitches, heartburn, calf cramps, yellow stool, blood in stool, edema below the knees, pain in feet when walking, I can stay out in the sun longer without burning or peeling, lower back stiff/pain-twinge free since Nov 2022 after an operation in 2005

We’ve been eating this kind of lifestyle for thousands of years and now we are rediscovering it.

I started a Keto diet in June and almost all my chronic pain is gone. The only pain I have now is in my knees so started carnivore a few weeks ago hope that goes away. I can relate to pain in hands I suffered for almost 20 years with it, but with the low carb diet it was gone in couple of weeks. Now just the knees. Thank You for sharing your story

My take away is, you have trouble with junk food and addiction. Please stay vigilant and stay carnivorous. Thank you doctor for the video. January will be one year for me.

94 days Carnivore - 64 yrs old. I, like Dr Suresh have struggled with weight & food addiction most of my life. I think I've only been very slim once. I'm forever on a diet & have spent the last almost 20yrs of my life being a vegetarian. I ate lots of legumes & veggies with seed oils etc. And of course processed carbs. I didn't suffer from huge health issues but I had my gallbladder removed during this time. I was told not to eat any fat because my liver wouldnt handle it. So low fat everything loaded with my fave .... sugar. In January this year I saw a family photo of myself & was shocked... I was the heaviest ever & so tired. I went to my local dr who gave me some v expensive drugs and I lost quite a bit of weight. It didnt help my excessive dry skin & hair though. So I stopped & presto back came the weight. I came across this idea of eating meat again & I feel fantastic. Never hungry, most cravings gone. Skin & hair are softer & not so dry & I have so much energy. I make beef jerky in my dehydrator if I feel like a snack & hope to live to a ripe old age fit & healthy!! Never going back ❤

As if I couldn't like you any more Dr Suresh ❤ Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts and feelings. Takes a brave man to do this and share so much personal experience including the good and the bad with the world. Please be careful with reintroducing fruits and honey etc given you aren't at your goal just yet. Its a slippery slope esp if you have been dealing with sugar addiction. I know you know what you are doing, just a friendly caution thats all because I care. Hope to see you again soon.

I just discovered your channel very recently, but you're already one of my fav carnivore channels. I just subscribed to you. I'm only subbed to Bart Kay, Anthony Chaffee, No Carb Life and now you!

Great to hear this from an MD who gets the total picture.

Oh my gosh I just happen to find your video and clicked on it. If you were a 60 year old female you would be telling my story with sugar addiction and living on the weight rollercoaster. I have never considered surgery but everything else is my story. The eating disorder picture is mine. The hiding, the constant eating and the shame are identical. Thank you for giving me hope that I too can overcome this addiction.

Thanks Doc , like you I have all the same issues as you, I've been carnirvore for about six months now, and my success has been very similar to yours 🙏

Related to your story. I was highly successful, disciplined in every other way, but as I got into my 50s I could no longer eat sugar/starch in moderation; then twenty something years ago I found low carb, but would have bouts of binges. Finally, fifteen years ago got to keto then eventually to mostly carnivore. I’m a senior in my seventies and health is my number one issue so I can enjoy my elder years. You are doing great work with these vlogs. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your heart! I’m 2 years in now and can’t believe how amazing I feel.

Listening to your story, I can relate. I had most of the symptoms you had. I am not in pain anymore. I am 63, i just found your YT channel. I discovered a lot of what you related, you have have expressed it better:)

Only when l experienced true satiety as a carnivore, was l able to know freedom from cravings. I have a pound of beef/liver/heart blend slow baked in bacon and tallow, topped with 4 or 5 egg yolks and raw butter. Bone broth instead of coffee. Liberation!

Well done Doc. it's all a work in progress.

I used to suffer from constipation and would have a bowel movement only every two or three days. It was torture. Now, however, I have a bowel movement once every four days and it is absolutely fine. When I was constipated, bowel movements were a great big long torturous event but now that I am eating carnivore, they are a swift non-event and are over so quickly that I think I must have diarrhoea or that the stools are abnormally small but they are not. If I didn't know better, I would think that my bowel movements were Teflon coated. Meet takes longer to digest because it is so rich in nutrients and this is a good thing not a bad thing. Also, on the carnivore diet, people tend to not have bowel movements as often as they used to because they are eating less.

Hey Meat Medic. I noticed at the end of your listening audio podcasts you left in some unedited content about re-recording it.. love the content btw. Just starting my Carnivore journey to help with a plethora of health issues.

Been a Carnivore (with a wicked sweet tooth) for 65 days now. I stopped fighting the sweet addiction that sometimes still appears by eating some zero carb Keto ice-cream made from heavy cream, natural peanutbutter and stevia/erythritol. Magic! 🙌🏼🥩

I think you should look at insulin instead of calories. It's the controlling hormone in weight gain. Check your fasting insulin, correct range between 1.5 and 5. Calorie restriction allways lowers BMR and it the reason all calorie restrictions diets fail, try to find a study where calorie restriction has worked long term. The longest carb restriction diet study I could find was The Women's Health Initiative, 9 years and to complete failure. Any carbs are going to have a negative effect on your health, not just weight gain. I started Keto over 4 years ago, after doing months of research. I lost weight for 13 months straight (90 lbs) and then stabilized and maintained since. I changed to carnivore diet 9 months ago for other health benefits, no longer constipated since I got ride of all fiber, a real win in my life. I always eat till I am full, never count anything and never snack. I have never felt healthier! I do ocassionaly have beer and no sugar added ice cream so I can still enjoy life. I'm 69 years young.

After existing on meals on wheels, junk food, takeaways and the occasional meal out, I was under nourished but overweight Upon beginning the carnivore diet, I was really hungry and ate a very generous amount of food. Within a few weeks, my appetite slowly declined because I was eating nourishing food The fact that the carnivore died is a bit monotonous, is working in my favour I know how important it is to eat red meat but I don't really get that excited about it without all the flavourings that I used to serve with it So there is no way that I am going to over eat red meat.

Yes, like you same symptoms fixed on carnivore. Also like you my only complaint is cramping. Thanks to the carnivore community I never felt better and only 6 months in!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope it helps someone watching.

"DONT BE A SNACK SNEAKER"❤❤

I have believed for decades that if 70 percent or more of your diet is meat, you are a carnivore. My ex-vegan friend is on a low carb 50/50 meat and veggie diet. He is doing very well! Every person needs to find the eating plan that works for them . It just blows my mind to think that people actually suffer back pain, knee pain or hand/foot pains. Maybe that is why so many people have medicine cabinets full of pain relievers while I do not.

AS DR. SHAWN BAKER MD. ALWAYS SAYS ..."EAT ENOUGH FATTY MEAT, SO YOU DON'T WANT SWEETS N CARBS"

The sugar/carb monster is always chasing me... he's always roaming to & fro, seeking whom he may devour 😮

Trust me you are not cured of the sugar addiction, it’s moved wayyyyy into the background, but it will always be there crouching in the background waiting for an opportunity! Food freedom is awesome, stay clear of sweets anymore than once a month, because it can creep in and have a choke hold on you before you know it. 1 year is awesome, I’ve been there and had the sugar creep in and suddenly it had hold again.

Thank you, nr 2 is my biggest problem.. subscribed

Wow, an honest Doctor❤❤❤❤. I gave up as well at 345 and 64 year old FAT AMERICAN. I easily lost 173 pounds. I only weighed once a year at my physical. My answer was simple, my mirror works just as well. I was HUGE and beyond all hope. I weigh daily now. This morning I was 175. Never felt better. Once you give carnivore a serious try you too can learn how simple it really is.🥩🧈🐷🥚👍

Hi Dr, I keep reverting back to eating grains and sugary foods and now my IBS is back in full force and the pain it very bad. Back pain, not energy and more.. I dont know what to do to stay on the carnivor diet. All i know is everything almost all went away with the carnivordiet.

Inspirational video.

I am a recovering alcoholic with a sugar addiction. I keep trying to get back on, but fail so many times.😢

I wish I had as many benefits from carnivore as others. Still struggling day 335. When you talked about your thumbs “I have that same pain” still waiting for it to go. Sleep is still a struggle. Pain all over my body. It’s better don’t get me wrong but I wish it was better. Weight stall 4 months. Still have many many more pounds to go (50-60) I’ve lost 30 but again slow. Guess I have more healing to do. I’m not stopping. Eating carnivore is not a struggle at all. I don’t want the crap anymore. A1C 5.5 so it is working. Thank you for your insight and video.

“Cured” of sugar addiction probably means the satiety circuit is healed. Also, when you give measurements, could you please put the Imperial equivalent on screen? Converting kilos to lbs while I’m listening and working out is distracting. Lol

Comments in line with video : a) I consider that carnivore is not a diet but instead proper human behaviour. 75% of the word DIET is death. b) When one gets to 40 one realises that life is yet to start. c) I've now been on clean carnivore for 12 months and generally speaking I feel pretty good, confident and optimistic. I intend to carry on.

My only suggestion would be to be careful with the fruit and dairy. They will stall your weight loss. Hold off on them until you get to your goal weight.

I've been on carnivore for 8 mo ths now. Only lost a stone in weight it's helped my sleep but my body pain isn't any better neither is my anxietyy. I'm getting so disheaetned

I have brain symptoms (disregulated nervous system). Will a carnivore diet help me, or is keto better? I've heard that being in ketosis is very healing for the brain, I hope you can shine light on that. Thank you doctor, I love your channel I have been binging all of your videos

What fruit do you eat that doesnt have oxalates? Supposedly blueberries are low oxalate but I still have weird symptoms after eating them.

Do you have a video of why u chose carnivore over keto?

Hi Doc hypothetical question if your mother was suffering with depression would you prescribe her SSRIs or persuade her towards the carnivore diet? Which is best?

What happens when you travel to India? Does your extended family try to lynch you? :)

Dr or no dr. You don’t look well bro. Comparing to your early start videos. Get yourself checked out properly.
