Paul Saladino explains what originally signaled him to add cards (fruit and honey) into his diet alongside meat, organs and animal fat. He also shares information about plant toxicity and plant defense chemicals.
I just recently started watching your content. I started with some of your older stuff and I remember being skeptical when you weren't all in on fruits. I was thinking the same things you just pointed out here: plants *want* us to eat fruit! That's why they make it! Fast forward to now and you're on the fruit train -- doubly so because you've seen positive results after adding it. It's just awesome to see someone truly experimenting without any dogma or attachment to anything other than results. I myself am adding in fruits because I just can't manage the heart palpitations, nor is my body acclimating to a zero carb lifestyle with regard to gastrointestinal health - I've had diarrhea for nearly 5 weeks now (which I'm sure contributes to the palpitations), and I'm hoping fruit will ameliorate that issue as well.
Salt and water intake are an important factor, too, which are not discussed very much. Most people drink too much water and don't eat enough salt.

This was recommended to me with carnivore and didnt change any of the symptoms. Tried extra salt on meat and fatty meals, electrolyte water bottles. This is something else idk what. Fruit and raw honey fixed these issues
Another RU-vidr said if you consume too much fat, it will cause diarrhea. Dual back the fat. He also said if you drink any tea or coffee, you will have diarrhea. I don’t know how strict you are on the diet.
@@deputydonutlife3745 I eat a lot of fats drink coffee and tea and eat no fruits. Since 2019....never had diarrhea. Take electrolytes and salt. Eat your fiber.
Agree I went down the same path as you did Paul. Had major electrolytes issues on pure carnivore (organs and bones included). Humans ate fruits and tubers occasionally so it makes sense. To each their own
@@akosreke8963 I added back in occasional fruits like oranges, melons, avocado, apples, berries. Find what works for you that won't cause hyperglycemia and have good amount of potassium, calcium, magnesium
@@superluci58 What about all of the lead cadmium arsenic mercury and other heavy metals in the fats of animals. Our liver produces oxalic acid. We can't be dogmatic otherwise we become no different than vegans
Except fruits weren't around all the time... The issue is electrolytes. People crave sugar because low electrolytes. You and Paul alike. (Myself included) Our ancestors drank flowing stream water full of electrolytes. The animals they ate ate natural food from non depleted soil. Spring water makes people crave sugar because everyone's electrolyte deficientmI guarantee you if you supplement electrolytes in carnivore diet you will not crave sugar or need it ever. That being said, seasonal carbs are fine but unnecessary for the modern human
Finally. Thank you. It is unnatural to not have fruit and I concur with everything you said. I never had heart palps until going keto. It is scary. The constipation. The moodiness. Fruit is the only thing I’ve eaten that I actually love and gives me energy and doesn’t weigh me down.
It’s unnatural not to have fruit? What a bizarre and ignorant comment. There are many groups of people in the world who are very healthy who don’t eat fruit.
@@stevenmiller7747 Do you know that fruit is the only food on the planet that humans can pick off a tree and eat right away? No other animal in nature cooks or alters its food except us. All other animals eat their food in its raw form. Fruit is one of the only food that allows you to eat it raw and it is delicious. Fruit is the most natural edible substance for humans. We can't eat rice, beans, animal meat right away. Only fruit allows us to pick and eat. Whether some people can survive without it doesn't negate the fact that it is literally a perfect food, DESIGNED by our creator to nourish us and also TASTES GOOD. In Genesis, God gave us fruit as food. The animals were friends, not food. So it was our first diet, yes surviving on a diet without fruit is unnatural. I understand your paleo dogma probably won't allow you to see that and that is okay. We can agree to disagree.

@@watchwoman6957 get educated... These traditional Inuit foods include arctic char, seal, polar bear and caribou - often consumed raw, frozen or dried. The foods, which are native to the region, are packed with the vitamins and nutrients people need to stay nourished in the harsh winter conditions.

I can't sleep on carnivore and don't have energy lifting heavyweights. Once I started eating fruits and a bit of rice here and there, I feel so much better at the gym and my sleep improved.
I did full carnivore for 2 months, then added a little fruit, but after a little while, I realized I still wasn't getting enough carbs. I was only getting around 30 g of carbs. I would get muscle cramps, even in the middle of the night, so I took trace minerals and it helped a little, but didn't solve completely. I started shedding hair, too. After adding more fruit/honey (60-100 g carbs), those problems went away and I still feel worlds better than before going carnivore.
@@cindyr4459 they try their hardest to make themselves believe that the carnivore diet has zero flaws, obviously there are side effects, and a lot of those side effects cannot be cured without carbohydrates. The low testosterone especially, it doesn't matter how fat adapted you are, how much testicles you eat, believing that your T will stay high after following carnivore for a long time is delusional. That being said, carnivore does offer a lot of benefits, so I see why nobody wants to quit it
@@User-pz4re Bingo!!! And that goes for keto followers, which their testesterone is low too. Honey with carnivore is the best diet IMO. Because not only honey provides carbs with vitamins and minerals, but it has 20 mg of vitamin c per tbs... and adding that the vitamin c from the organs of the animal is all you need.
Did it?? That’s my biggest thing. I can do zero carb carni great for 4-5 days and sleep just fine. But I will get wicked insomnia after those days, then I’ll give in and eat a big bowl of oatmeal after rolling around in bed for hours, and fall right asleep. But then I feel guilty. I’m super active and it’s not like I can’t afford the carbs.. But you know…the dogma😒 anyways, letting that go! What fruits do you eat and when? Honey too? :)
@@Amanda.c91 it eat after my big meal around 2/3pm. A couple of bananas+ a pound of strawberries with some Greek yogurt. And trust me I would feel guilty as well but I’ve decided my sleep was much more important than a bit of bloating from the fruits. I love the sharp mental focus and energy of strict carnivore but after a few days you can’t sleep anymore and it’s a constant vicious cycle
Literally describing electrolyte deficiency. Body craves carbs when electrolyte deficient. Spring water has no electrolytes. Stream water does. Supplement
@@TheQuesoJC how do you like to supplement electrolytes? Cuz I guess I try to bring carbs in but eck I don’t like the fluid/puffiness the next morning, doesn’t improve my sleep that much honestly, and my joints are achy the next day. Carnivore is superior
I've done well on a pure meat and eggs and cheese diet. So far, I haven't had to add any carbs. If I have any carbs on a weekend, I don't notice that my workouts are any better. I'm glad that you're doing better after adding some carbs. I love all of your videos, Sir! Keep up the good work! Thank you!
I'm a semi retired powerlifter. I have high rep days and heavy single days. On high rep days I'll squat or box squat 225 for 50 reps. That's my best. Fasted and no carb. Once you're fat adapted it's a piece of cake. For me, any way. I hope that answers your question on whether I train hard or not.
@@powerliftercarnivorecoachedgr Agreed. I have not experienced any of the downsides the good doctor describes here on a ketogenic diet. No palpitations, no changes in libido, no loss of drive to work out, both weights and cardio, etc. I primarily work out fasted as well.
@@willschroeder6494 the body makes some glucose from protein and fat if he needs it while every part of the body that can use fatty acids or ketones will use them i feel more calm with carbs so ya i eat basically what i crave if i want eggs i eat eggs if i want meat i eat meat if i want sugar i eat something sweet... the only thing im looking for is not eating seed oils and not eating too many polyunsaturated fats
I have been animal based for over 4 years. I'm actually thriving without Carbs. With that said, I believe everyone is different. There's not one cookie cutter diet for everyone. People need to eat what works for them, IMO.
No everyone is the same. All cells run on sucrose whether it’s coming from your diet glycolysis (normal) or from your tissue gluconeogenisis (secondary, elevated free fatty acids, cortisol, etc)
Yup! Same when I was Paleo. Eggs and berries for breakfast, usually chicken avocado and pears for lunch and meat and squash and fruit for dessert. I'm going back to this way of eating
I loved the fruitarian diet. Felt so clean and lots of energy. But within a couple of months started feeling weak and cold from no protein and fat. I loved the carnivore diet. Felt so clean and strong. But within a month or so lacked energy and heart palpitations. Fruitarian + Carnivore = Boom! I feel so good on this WOE now.
@@JYAN2852 there’s time and location variables you’re leaving out. Fruit was not eaten year round. Was eaten ripe and seasonally. Not picked before ripe or eaten year round. Also was not available in all locations; in other words not required for human health.
The problem for many of us is moderation. When I added apples to my carnivore diet, one apple led to three. I then tried buying only the green ones, but same problem. Carbs are addictive. 😭
I found for me once I didn’t limit my sugar/fruit etc for a period of time my hunger for these things spiked for a couple weeks and then dropped off completely and I haven’t had better control of my appetite in a long time when I would normally restrict everything. I don’t think it’s addiction. Your body needs the carbs to feel good again and it’s just a signal.
i've been zero carb carnivore for a year, but lately i've been buying frozen organic blueberries from costco - no big deal, not too sweet, good price, and they don't trigger any carb cravings
I got tendon damage and vertigo while doing zero carb. Honey and fruit (and milk, for me) made a difference in recovery and overall wellbeing. So while technically I could do CrossFit on zero carb, I would spend a great deal of the day recovering and now if I do CrossFit I'll have some honey and milk afterwards and be right as rain within an hour
How exactly do you damage tendons on zero carb? Do you mean you did exercise while doing zero carb and hurt yourself? Zero carb wont save you from injuries.
For me exactly the opposite. Sweet potatoes and some dates or dry higs caused me so painful joint, after starting Lion Diet all my issues disappeared. I'll never leave this diet. Crossfit has never been souch a pleasure.
@@richcollinsyt your understanding of CrossFit is in no way ancestral, but CrossFit is actually the most ancestral training possible. I'm sure you're going to argue and I'm not going to read it but you're wrong and I'm right
@@mthalmann2 right. Cause our ancestors flopped around on pull-up bars looking like idiots. You diet isn't what's causing your injuries, and "I'm not going to read your comment" is the attitude causing all CrossFit morons to constantly injure themselves
After 2.5 years of being strict carnivore I’ve had to ad some carbs back in. I was starting to feel like I was wasting away. I believe my testosterone was going down (the doc lost my sample) and I was losing strength and size. I added some honey and white rice. I definitely notice a difference in my workouts as I got stronger. I think more energy, although it’s hard to tell as my days are really busy. The down side is I think I”m beginning to deal with heartburn again, which I had not since before carnivore.
If you want to add carbs, white rice is about the worst choice you can make. White rice is highly processed, basically stripped of all nutritive value.
@@gummiesrule88 that is so wrong. White rice is easy on the digestive system. You can get all your nutrients from meat and use white rice as a carb source without the annoying fiber. Check out the vertical diet.
@@frankyboy1806 A food can be "easy on the digestive system" and yet harm metabolic health. High glycemic carbs like white rice and white potatoes spike insulin levels much like sugar does, and are of limited nutritional value. White rice is probably worse. A glucose monitor can confirm an individual's response to these foods. Glucose levels typically soar after ingestion of white rice. Some people can get away with potatoes in small quantity.
Thanks for talking about adding carbs to your diet! I have two kids and they are both fairly athletic. I want them to have the best athletic performance possible. My son is a 16 year old cyclist and my daughter is a 14 year old gymnast. We are all GF due to celiac disease and gluten issues in the family. We do eat potatoes and rice and I think we will continue eating these things. The family likes broccoli so I do prepare broccoli for them. My son eats a TON of fruit and I think he needs it. I think it is much better than candy and other things he could be eating. I'm not sure if it was this video but you did in one of your videos talk about how no athletes are on a keto diet. I appreciate this advice and will continue to provide the family with animal based gluten free nutrition and hope both my kids can have their ideal athletic peaks. Have a great day.
I use mineral drops, magnesium water, calcium from chicken eggshells, oysters, lemon juice( occasionally)iodine drops and vitamin D3 to supplement my carnivore diet.
For me a ketogenic diet since last year November 2021 until a few weeks ago worked really well now I'm just tired and have drowsiness I will add again from today fruits, honey and also white rice. But it was a very good time, I cured my ulcerative colitis with the ketogenic diet.
Had been zero carb for 6 months and experienced a lot of electrolytes issues with cramps. After the new year, I’ve included honey and a little bit of sweet potato and all my issues have gone away.
My electrolyte imbalances became very intense as well - and have improved slightly in the last two weeks but haven’t resolved. How long did it take you to return to normalcy following carbohydrate reintroduction?
@@connorl1885 I wanna say it was about a week. I was getting this urinary issue when my electrolytes would get off valence. That went away after a week. So did the cramps.
@@pinkdiscomosh2766 No, it's an excuse to eat sugars. Nobody tolerates oxalate in the real world. Plants don't want to be eaten. Antinutrients it's their defense system. Nature says it not me. Are you really happy with a lil bit of oxalate? Are kidding me? It's weird how ppl cannot actually live without plants..unbelievable.
I've been on the carnivore diet for years but haven't needed to include fruit cuz I always end up going out for sushi every once in a while. Or sometimes a bowl of beef pho.
@@user-xd9nr4wq5h Everything is contextual. High glycemic is not inherently bad for people who are metabolically healthy, especially those who are highly active.
Do you think genetic variation plays a large role in optimal diet? I've heard the Japanese fully absorb iodine (and who knows what else) from seaweed whereas Westerners absorb almost nothing from it. This leads me to wonder how many digestive variations have cropped up across different cultures. I'm Korean and as far as I'm aware my ancestors ate rice, vegetables, fish, and kimchi for thousands of years. If history is where we look for evidence, should I then lean more toward my Korean traditional diet, or look farther than that all the way to my hunter gatherer ancestors in Africa? I don't see much data for which diet was healthier.
I would imagine it absolutely must have some role. This is what got me into a carnivore diet. I was watching a documentary on the Indo-Europeans and archaeological evidence says they consumed mostly meat and dairy. I am of Northen European heritage and switched to eating strictly meat and cheese and have felt amazing. My ancestors have been eating mostly meat and cheese way longer than we’ve been eating grains. For example…I carry the genetic enzymes that allow me to digest dairy. This wouldn’t work for everyone because most of the world is lactose intolerant. If someone from Japan or Rural Africa consumed large amounts of dairy, I would imagine it would not be too kind to their stomachs. So for people of Asian ancestry to be able to absorb certain nutrients from certain foods (I.e seaweed) makes perfect sense.
can't seem to find any reference to 'when I should eat the fruit'. with the meat meal, or separated from the meat meal. and if so, by how much time? thanks, Carson
I find sweet food sickening - just can't eat them. Eat wide range of animal food and include regular amounts of lambs liver. Health is v good so agree with Paul when he says if you are doing well on whatever you eat, don't change it.
Same here. Also I think for a while now farmers have intentionally been mixing and matching different sorts of fruit to make them even sweeter. Like all 3-4 sorts of apples at my local store are sweet AF.
I would love to hear you debate Dr Ken Berry. You two have made videos agreeing with each other when you were strict carnivore, but he still preaches that any fructose or spike in insulin is not a proper human diet.
I literally cannot keep my electrolytes in check on just keto or carnivore. Was in the hospital the other night because of it. (Very LOW end of "normal") 136mmol sodium and 3.5mmol potassium. This is with supplementing. Gonna try to add fruits and honey and see if that helps.
Honeydew melon and oranges are some of the best bang for your buck fruits as far as nutrition goes. Lots of folate, B vitamins, potassium, etc. Great sources of Thiamine/B1, which is hard to get enough of on an all meat diet, especially if you cook your meats, since heat easily destroys B1. Oranges have lots of calcium for those who can’t do dairy as well. Eat oranges/Vitamin C fruit with at least 15g of gelatin/collegan to improve/build up your joints (a good study supports this). Black and blueberries are always good, slows brain aging, etc.
All fruit have something really good for you provided you can digest them : spermidine for mangoes, urolithin A for pomegranate, massive zeaxanthin and Luteine in Persimmon, fisetin in Strawberries, citruline in water melon, etc...
Some low plant defense chemical Vegetables can have a alkalising/buffering effect, especially when paired with many other foods. And some have far lower chemical levels than many fruits. While vegetables aren’t perfect, don’t blame them for what seed oils, sugar, artificial/processed foods, grains, legumes, commercial dairy, improperly prepared nuts and seeds… did. Your grandparents were eating animals and vegetables when thriving
Great point! What do you think some of the best “bang for your buck” veggies are? I’ve been eating cucumbers without the peel and find them pretty hydrating/ enjoyable
So I have problems with binging. That's why carnivore works for me, I don't get on that loop to overeat, you can only eat so much meat lol. If i were to buy fruit or eat honey i think it'd push me over the edge🤷♀️ I used to buy sea salt then switched to Himalayan as I thought sea salt might have more toxins? Anecdotally, when I was eating a ketogenic diet I used to have the heart palpitations and could not sleep but on carnivore I don't seem to have those issues. I hope one day to be able to eat 'normally' again.
Just because it's good for those with diabetes doesn't mean that it will be ideal for people who are metabolically healthy. I say that as a fan of Dr. Fung's work. But context matters.
Just my general observations is that animal based or keto and low carb seems to work amazing at stripping body fat and regaining health. Then adding carbs back in to support metabolism and thyroid health seems to be key.
I've had heart palps on and off for many many years. About 9 weeks ago, I went strict carnivore and have only had maybe 2 to 3 occurrences since then. I mean like only 2-3 times did it actually happen. I've had days that they plagued me for the entire day no matter what I did. I've been in the hospital more than one time in complete fear because they did not subside. Additionally, the restless legs and crapping feet issue that I've dealt with are no longer issues.
I think every human has different dietary requirements. We are all different, lead different lives, have different blood types, body types etc etc. Do what makes you feel optimal.
Wish Dr. Paul would debate Doc Ken Barry. He's advising avoiding fruits very strongly with the exception of occasional berries. I respect both men and am following both as I and my husband are beginning a carnivore based diet. Couldn't it be a difference in two individual unique bodies, that causes these 2 obviously very bright studied doctors to have opposing views?
It's ok to change your views when new information becomes available. As he said, after a period of time in full keto, he started to have problems. Adding fruit solved those problems. I think if he were to distill his advice to something everybody could use, he'd say: don't use his results, use his process. Just because he eats meat and fruit doesn't mean that everybody should. Many people can likely eat leafy greens without issue as well. His process is that if there's a problem you can't solve, remove things from your diet and see if *that* solves the problem.
There really is a multitude of doctors here on youtube who all cite different studies and claim they "feel better than when I was in my 20s". I guess just try out stuff that makes sense to you. It doesn't take an awful lot of time to see how well you do on a new diet.
he is saying certain carbs are ok in terms of toxins and that HE needs a certain amount of carbs, We each need to figure out how much if any carbs we feel best with and find the fruits that work for us. I find most who do need carbs are very active, have a large amount of muscle mass and are usually men. I currently eat meat and blueberries easing back into carnivore after experimenting with many things, Blueberries were the only thing that does not make me crave all the crap food carbs. Honey would do me in like giving beer to an alcoholic!
I think self-experimentation is more important than belief or any studies. I listen to my body. I don't always like what it says (no coffee or nuts 😔), but it does let me know if I deviate too far.
Yep lifestyle matters also. Paul is very active so he can get away with eating fruits and honey. Normal ppl like us home confined due to pandemic prob good to eat carbs after fats and proteins to decrease blunt the glucose spike. Everyone is different of course as Paul eats the way he does after years of experimenting using a CGM and research. I doubt we can get that granular nor have the time and know how to do self experiments to the level he does
I feel so good since going full carnivore! It's life changing! But, it's still early days, only just 6 months in. At this point I'm too afraid to try fruit, for fear that my autoimmune problems might coming back. But still I do really miss fruit and would like to try adding it to my diet at some point. How and when do you suggest I try changing my diet?
3 months in carnivore, only thing that keeps my mood up is if I eat a shit ton of bacon. I’m getting the potassium in bacon is being used for the electrolytes. Been eating prime rib eyes everyday, liver tablets, butter, eggs. I just watched a bunch of hadza tribe documentaries, their favorite food is honey. As the person filming asks them
Thanks for clarifying why you went from 100% carnivore to your current plan. For those of us who haven't watched all your videos on your transition from pure cardio to where you are now. I'd greatly appreciate a summary video of the transition and why. Thanks!
What diet would you recommend to somebody that has colon cancer, has been losing blood, is anemic because of it, has lost almost 30 lb and at least half of that probably muscle, and has half the strength they used to have? And will be undergoing chemo and radiation?
Do you have colon cancer? Have you started chemo & radiation? Look up a guy on Facebook named Jim Gordon. He's holding up a yellow surfboard in his profile pic. He had stage 4 pancreatic or liver cancer that metastasized. Then he did some research on how to heal naturally & completely reversed his cancer. He shared his protocol on his Facebook page & so far has over 500 testimonials of people who reversed their cancers with his protocol. The protocol consists of various herbs that you can buy at health shops. Its not his own herbs or anything so he doesnt make any money but he does explain which herbs to take etc. Look him up.
Meats dont have the trace minerals they used to because of the depleted soil so we need more carbs to retain electrolytes. That’s what I think and seasonal fruits help get us through winter.
Makes sense. I’ve noticed my heart beats wildly when I lay down at night. Also, I have leg cramps even though I drink an LMNT every day. I’ve committed to 90 days BBBE for weight loss, but I will consider adding honey & fruit. BTW…I put my RA in remission twice with a raw fruit & raw nuts diet 50 years ago (with the best knowledge I had at the time).
Hi Paul or anyone else. I am doing fruit and meat and am feeling really good on this. I am wondering if my use of fruit is right. Are they supposed to go with a protein/fat source or should i separate them? Basic diet includes Breakfast - 3 eggs, 1 bacon rasher, glass of milk and 1 or 2 bananas. preworkout (before lunch) - milk with tablespoon of honey (250ml) Lunch - 250gr grassfed groundbeef with half a papaya. Dinner - steak, roasted pumpkin, blueberries and occasionally sauerkraut or roasted sweet potatoes too. (wife is struggling lol)
i have lamb liver or beef liver fresh twice a week. Looking at cutting into smaller servings so i get like maybe 20grams a day or every second day. (Sorry forgot to include above)
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, looked wuth lust? if so you need to repent today and Believe in Jesus Christ to save you from Hell and go to heaven instead
Sleep disturbance is my biggest thing. I can be carnivore zero carb for a few days and sleep very well! But then after 4-5 days, I get wicked insomnia. Then I eat carbs, fall right asleep. I don’t have issues with cramping or bad workouts. But then I feel guilty for eating the carbs!☹️guess I should start bringing bananas back in? Plus honey? Whole Foods has great, fair trade bananas from Costa Rica.
But what about the acquired immune system? Wouldn't earing what's bad in small amounts become good eventually and possibly even help out our immune systems in the long run? We also know that certain leaves, roots, etc. In many plants have superb healing properties in them as well as adaptogenic benefits for the organs.
I don’t eat those because of any cravings, and raw organic honey has many health qualities. But I’m sure you can look those up on your own. Additionally I know the exact amount of sugar grams. 12 grams in 3 Tbsp of golden berries and 15 grams in 6 dried apricots. Additionally, the fruit is not added sugar and I am not on a no sugar diet. On the contrary, I am in agreement with the doctor. Some fruit and honey on a high meat diet is a good carbohydrate additive.
Why not getting electrolytes from salt? There are several types of salt with different composition. I just got one today rich on potassium and magnesium, not just sodium.
I was eating a carnivore diet and switched back to a Ketogenic diet simply by adding low-carb veggies to each carnivore meal. Broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage are my favorites. Since adding these veggies, I sleep better. I have more energy and I no longer get muscle cramps. I can eat my fill of meat, liver, eggs, butter, and nuts (pecans & walnuts) plus 3-cups of steamed veggies and easily stay in ketosis.
Not sure why people get upset over this. Ive been in ketosis for 7 months now and my free test is single digits and my total is absolutely abysmal. Its not all great, I dont care how good you may feel, check it. You can probably feel much better.
When i eat liver i cant fall asleep(i eat around 10 grams a day to make my vitamin A),i remove it from my diet my and sleep fixes and now i try do add it back and its the same thing(I feel very energetic and cant fall asleep).I dont drink coffee and dont take other stimulants for energy,I eat around 300 grams of beef a day,4 eggs and i eat carbs(fruits and pilled millet and some honey).And i have very bad breath when after i eat meat.I have the same problems with electrolytes and heart palpatations when i was on carnivore and keto.
Can someone explain to me how it's okay to eat a high fat and high carbohydrate diet? I'm genuinely curious because I recently read about the Krebs cycle and how eating high fat plus high carb is what causes cell damage and clogged arteries. I really want want to add fruit and honey back into my diet due to leg cramps and insomnia but worry about plaques building up in my arteries.
I was super tired with muscle fatigue just from walking and living for 3 weeks on Carnivore with dairy. I added 1/2 - 1 cup of blueberries for 3 days and my GERD is flaring. Any advice or experience?

Been very low carb with a couple macadamia nut overfeeds each week and generally high salt. Going good. I also lift weights. I am VERY lean at age 63. I can see fresh fruit and don't even think of eating it. Not craving it. I'll watch with interest. So does fruit not have the nutrient blockers as vegetable--even nuts--tend to?
The main arguments for high LDL in the carnivore diet not being an issue, and reducing the dangers of insulin resistance you made along the years, are all based on maintaining a low carb diet. How do those arguments stand with the inclusion of carbs in your daily diet? Trying hard to become better through nutrition, but information is all over the place
Honeydew melon is one of the most nutritious fruits. Look up it's nutritional value online. Oranges are a powerhouse too. Pineapple is good. Berries are always great.
I like organic California raisins. Ultimately you have to know how to count macros. If you consume 50-60 grams of sugar from fruit daily you won't gain any weight. It's hard to gain weight eating carbs until you go over a total of 150 grams a day. I eat 1000 calories from fat and 600 calories(150 g) from carbs daily and I don't gain weight.
@@Cantaste about 400 calories from protein. I didn't include it because the fight is over carbs and fat. I get a lot of my fat from protein sources like ground beef, and yogurt.
So honey and fruits with animal protein are is SAFE FOR HASHIMOTOS TOO? I am changing to whatever you teach . Why do I feel so tired and sleepy after eating a pound of cooked grass fed beef? Is it insulin spike which lot of experts ( Dr . Eric Berg especially ) say to not eat so much protein as even too much protein is bad and can cause glucose issues?
Thanks for this video Paul, just a question on plant defense, is this also applicable to microgreens? Or are microgreens considered a "safe" source of carb?
Is there a video going over your transition and why? I’ve been doing keto for years and just started carnivore (purely to see if it helps my ibd… ) but I’m getting heart palpitations (before carnivore). Curious about your journey.
@@brandonmays3018nah fruit solved the issue. I do use keto drops with coffee but that’s the only additive/vitamin I have after switching to animal based.
@@brandonmays3018 cool thanks. I had to abandon strict carnivore as I had the same issue as Paul - couldn’t retain electrolytes (so adding more didn’t help) which was causing the palpitations. Fruit fixed it.
This argument about fruits being good and vegetables being bad because “fruits are the parts of the plant that plants want you to eat” seems pretty weak to me. It sounds good - but anything can sound good, people used to believe that smoking was good for you and it sounded good back then. We should listen more to what the evidence says on the short/long term effects of plants
How much honey/fruit would u have daily, and when would be the best time? I'm very active ironworker and like to work out, but i get alot of heart palpitations and muscle twitches, even though adding Pink Himalayan salt to every meal, supplementing 250-500mg magnesium, and choosing more potassium rich foods like kale,goat cheese,almond milk, and avocoado. any help be greatly appreciated.
@@thethirdhokanye3760 I just bought an electrolyte supplement called relyte I would take magnesium, salt all my meals. But suffered racing heart specially specially laying down and pounding funny
Hi Paul! What do you think about rapadura (aka raspadura, Dulce de panela, tapa de Dulce in Costa Rica)? It’s a sugar from a grass family, sugarcane. It’s not processed. Considering it’s a grass, I don’t think it is as health as honey, but it should be better than maple syrup. I would love to hear your opinion! Thanks.
I am a type 1 diabetic with celiac disease just starting carnivore/animal based lifestyle. To maintain stable blood sugars I like to take the same amount of insulin every day, so is 1 tablespoon of raw honey everyday okay or should I eliminate all carbs completely?
I added fruit ( one serving a day ) to my carnivore diet and in one month I went from an A-1C of 5.0 to 5.4 …. So not add any fruit unless you want to raise your A-1C ….and yes I’m at my ideal weight and I workout too !
Spring water combined with a host of other reasons everyone is electrolyte deficient is why everyone is craving sugar. Without electrolyte deficiency the body doesn't crave sugar. Supplement electrolytes and you don't need plants
For some reason when I get into ketosis my blood pressure goes through the roof, eating honey will keep me out of ketosis and that is good for me, but the question is will this way of eating help me cure my high BP?
Fast forward two years and you will be telling everyone they need more veg. I followed you for a long time and what I learned is you are full of it and clearly make it all up.
Yeah, smart people never continue experimenting and do more research, they just stop learning and keep the same knowledge and opinion for 10 years straight 👍
@@x_VALTIEL_x you're clearly limited in understanding it is a sales and manipulation gimmic. I see nothing more than another guy who really doesn't know what is best for our bodies and is just promoting a supplement. That's not really expirementation. I think Ken Berry has it right with the proper human diet. Whole natural foods vegetables included are all beneficial in their own right.
What do you think about Himalayan salt? would it also give enough minerals as sea salt? I really love honey as well. I don't limit it, but can like 150g per day be tooo much? Also, do you think that we should be in ketosis for couple of days per month, and the other days not? Is it a good approach?
@@HCW2855HCW Maybe you don't know this, but Himalayan Pink Salt isn't actually harvested from the ocean, therefore there can't be any trace of plastic in it.
