Why the Carnivore Diet Is So Effective

- The Carnivore Diet does so much. It's a powerful elimination diet, ridding us of many plant and vegetable toxins that diminish health and shorten lifespan. It lowers blood sugar levels and prioritizes fat as a primary energy source, offering a stable and efficient means of fueling the body. In discussing one of the core basic benefits, I invent a new term, "nutritional leverage," where humans benefit from the energy animals acquire from plants. The carnivore diet does not just give physical health benefits, it puts into a deeper connection to human history and efficient use of energy.

Anyone remember how well grandmas chicken dumpling soup tasted so good, and cured us when we had a cold ? It was the fat and bone broth! Meat heals
No. My Grandma made apple pie and died from diabetes. I changed to a carnivore diet and learned from this. Rest easy grandma.
Got cancer 2016 which began an awakening period and healed w keto focused lifestyle. Today survived a lot of negativities for migrating to an animal dominant diet on my way to eliminating prediabetes, cognitive issues, obesity, a whole range arthritic joints, on and on. Today at 61 am going for the win, am very physically fit, and will work again. I believe I can live to near 100 like many of my Sauk ancestors. Carnies rock! We truly are the rulers of this World that God intended us to be. Please make a choice to heal, you have nothing to fear and a lot to gain.
It was 5 years getting to carnivore through low carb, fasting, reading labels that finally convinced me the US food supply has been poisoned. Now on OMAD carnivore slowly losing that last 30 lb, feeling fit, pumped, great blood flow at 58 years young.
Great to hear! Keep up the good work.
Carnivore here for the last 5 months now. Started at 235 pounds at 5 feet 10 inches tall. Type 2 diabetic on 52 units of injected insulin and 2000 mg of metformin daily. My A1C was 7.5. I was going to lose my toes if it continued. Doctors said there was no way out except to increase insulin. I said no. I went carnivore. Today 5 months later. New A1C is 6.6 and still dropping Zero meds. Yes thats right zero metformin and zero injected insulin. I have reversed type 2 diabetes. I have lost 40 pounds and am now at 195. I eat beef and water, venison, and salmon. Beef liver once a week. Today may average blood sugar equates to an A1C of 6.4 My next blood work is in July. My goal is 180 pounds and an A1C of 5.4. My testimony.
Incredible!!! Shoot me an email for an interview. carnivorerabbi at gmail.com
Go, go, go!
This Rabbi is 🔥🔥 fiery. I wonder how he found his way to carnivory.
I hope he lets us know what led him past so much delusion.
In the 70's l joined the Natural HygienE Society and then traveled to
Vilcabamba, Ecuador as a fruitarian. I nearly died.
I will! It’s a great story and I’m so grateful I found it.
As an ex-T2D..carnivore reversed raging T2D, cured terrible GERD, lost 85 lbs of fat and am presently down to "optimum weight", dry itchy patches gone, skin tags gone...I still measure my blood glucose a few times a week to make sure carnivore WOL is keeping T2D in check, I also measure ketones every now and then after extended fasts, and measure my waist, as I just recently closed in on a waist-to-height ratio of 0.5. I have a titch to go. Again, as an ex-T2D, I am getting A1c & fasting insulin every 6 months for at least another year, and then annually. I measure these things to keep me highly motivated. It's not for everyone, but type 2 diabetics should know these numbers continuously until, like me, have achieved reversal. It's just my opinion though, but I found it kept me highly focused and I learned much about how different "foods" affected my blood glucose, and my N=1 confirmed that the SAD caused all that I listed above. These measurements were essential, for me, in my 1st year of carnivore & healing. ❤
@M.Sforza I was Dx with T2D with a A1c of 8.2 during a required physical for a new job in Jun 2023. I was blind-sided. I'm a 6' male, 66 years old, and was 255 lbs at the time of Dx in Jun. Went carnivore early Jul 2023 after research about T2D. I had no idea the weight was going to drop off, I was simply focused on reversing diabetes. What a great "side benefit," I told myself as I continued highly motivated to reverse that terrible disease.
By Christmas 2023, my A1c was 5.3, and my weight was down to 195. That's when my focus shifted slightly to achieving "optimal" weight, waist-to- height ratio and obliterating visceral fat and focus on body composition.
Today, my weight is 165 lbs...my huge belly was the last thing to go starting around the 1st of the year until now. I began walking 5k to 10k steps a few times a week at the 1st of this year, possibly this helped reduce my waist measurement. I didn't exercise at all before then. I got a DEXA Scan in Feb 2024 for a base measurement of visceral fat, muscle and total fat...and bone density. I'm scheduled to get a follow-up DEXA 1st of Aug 2024. Visceral fat obliteration and building muscle is now my focus.
Stick with it, you can do it!
I didn't mention, I eat OMAD and do a 72-hour hour water fast every 2 or 3 weeks.
that's good to hear. If it is motivating, it is definitely worth doing!!!
“Nutritional leverage.”
Man I love that.
You occupy an interesting (necessary and helpful) space here as a religious/spiritual leader who follows a carnivore way of eating. I say "necessary", because the whole plant-based movement had its origins in religious belief as well (the Seventh Day Adventist church), and on top of that, I've noticed that "spiritual people" (whether secular or religious) tend to shun eating meat, especially red meat. Even non-spiritual people (and most of the world) have been brainwashed to think red meat is either gluttonous and unhealthy or a nice but expensive "treat" to have once in a long while ("the less, the better!"). That was definitely me - I didn't actively shun red meat, but I never embraced it either (I just know that the few times I've had it, it's been amazingly satisfying). And now it turns out that red meat is one of the most nutrient dense and bioavailable foods we have on this planet. Go figure!
That said, I definitely see (and feel) how eating animals feels so contradictory to the loving and peaceful world that spiritual people want to move towards -- but if we truly look at how nature operates, it ain't so friendly out there! You eat or get eaten. Again, many would say "but we have to evolve away from this narrative"... the inescapable fact is that it's not just a narrative -- our biology is just not equipped to do so anytime soon, it seems. Not if we want to thrive, that is (we can't expect to raise truly healthy, thriving children on veganism/plant-based/low-animal-foods/low-fat/lab-grown diets for too many more generations; we're already dealing with so much infertility and chronic illnesses showing up at younger and younger ages -- e.g., Type 2 diabetes used to be called "adult-onset diabetes" but not anymore).
So, thank you for your influence here, and your calm, balanced and rational approach. I've been "carnivore curious" for a couple months now and thinking of doing it at least as an elimination diet for a few months. I just question my lack of discipline to stay on it -- have greatly minimized sugar and flour already after being a lifelong carb addict/sweet tooth, already have just two meals a day, intermittent fasting according to Dr. Mindy Pelz's hormone approach, always had to force myself to eat vegetables anyway, but I do love my wheat treats like bread (sourdough) and real Italian-style pizza and all that... But actually going carnivore still feels intimidating (in the sense that I might just keep falling off the wagon)... and definitely not looking forward to family pressure and misguided concerns. Already fielding some of that just because I've been avoiding vegetables and eating more clean, animal fats and minimal carbs.
Thank you! That’s exactly what I’m aiming for!
Love this! Been carnivore for 6 years. Great for my mental health, but I still need motivation ❤
Thanks, Rabbi. Another great video.
Small correction Rabbi,
Forever Chemicals are PFAS’s (polyfluoroalkyl substances). Although we do also need to avoid PUFA’s (polyunsaturated fatty acids) which are omega-6 seed oils such as soy, corn, canola, peanut, etc.
I’m sue it was just a slip, but didn’t want to chance others getting confused 😅
Yes! Good catch. Thank you.
Rabbi, I love your videos. You are so on point regarding poisonous plants ! ! Thank you !
Surprising benefit that started this week after 1 week almost strict Carnivore (I did eat a stick of purple asparagus in the garden, and I had tea to reduce oxalate dumping messing with my head & feet), but what's new with Carnivore instead of KETO or Low Carb, is i have been able to rest on my belly for a long time without the usual horrendous lower back pain & neck pain that usually happens after the first like 1 minute, for decades. I do like sleeping on my stomach if I could, but haven't been able to forever, so I start it but now I can last longer. Carnivore gives me a very flat lower belly too, hardly seems like me but I'll take it! Feeling younger in just 1 week! I'm 53. I started Carnivore bcz of so many videos I've been watching on it, and especially the one that says it will cure toenail fungus. I have it really bad on 1 big toe, and some on other toes that is new this past year, and the big toe got worse this past year than ever. My husband has it too and he says if Carnivore fixes my toenails then he'll try it too!! He needs it more for rebuilding muscle lost recently and for helping his heart too.
That’s fantastic!!
Thank you again, Rabbi!
Look out for the POOFAS! lol I've always heard it as "pee fass"🤣
Thanks Rabbi.
Great Video as usual!!!! Thank you! Could you give a link to the James Suan/Susman? book on Work that you referenced? I have searched and can't find it. - Thank you!!!!
Here it is. amzn.to/3wLs1F6 just saw Kindle version is on sale for $4.99!
@@carnivorerabbi Thank you so much! The history of food and work - is so important for where we are now!
@@healingintoauthentic yes! so essential to understand.
I haven't gone carnivore completely I still love to eat some nuts and a bit of potatoes and keto bread. But I can fully understand that reducing carbs to a minimum and cutting out sugar really makes huge difference in clearity / focus and even though I've never had any mental health issues, I feel very often like smiling and just more often content than before! I might give the carnivore diet a try though just to see what happens :)
Great to hear!!
I have not measured anything in over 30 yrs and back then, they didn't even do all that testing. I am 78 and doing great on a keto diet. Hubby is 80, eating what I cook and doing just fine. We still ride our bikes and travel over sees.
Fantastic!
To add to your Biblical reference I thought of the sacrifices of Cain and Abel. I always wondered why God didn't accept the offering of Cain's crops. Maybe those are connected.
Another funny Bible story is in the New Testament (Acts) -Peter has a vision from God about dietary laws.. in the dream God lowers a sheet filled with all sorts of animals (no Plants) and God tells Peter to eat all the items on the sheet. Probably the first carnivore diet prescription.
For sure. Will do a video on that.
I can not find James Sussman book Work. I’ve searched all over the internet.
Hey Rosy, here it is. amzn.to/3wLs1F6
"Suzman".
We healed my daughter's severe eczema with carnivore. She developed the 'worst case of pediatric eczema' that our dermatologist had ever seen. Despite them trying to solve all of her problems with prescriptions (including lifelong immunosuppressants), we found a better way! We became quick believers and proponents! So much so, that I made a shirt and plan to make more! I am working on a website that will serve as a vast repository of carnivore information that will include links to videos like this and the struggles that were helped by eating a proper human diet.
Fantastic. Would love to hear more of this story.
@@carnivorerabbi It's a story and journey that could fill a small book. I one day hope to make a long form video to go over the story, maybe some day join some interviews. I really wish we could spread our story to help more parents with suffering children.
@@jasecom891 yes!! I'd love to interview you for this channel. Here's the link. just make an appointment when convenient for you. calendly.com/carnivorerabbi/carnivore-interview
Can you please make a vidieo on how to afford a carnivore diet for people who keep strict kosher? And show us what to buy at a kosher grocery store?
Yes. For sure. That’s very tough though. Kosher meat is always more expensive.
I was doing so good. Just ate two pieces of cake. Ahhhh tomorrow is another day
That’s right. Tomorrow is another day. You can do it!
Yeah but on the spiritual analogy (because I’m a Christian), how do we hold up carnivore when there was no death before sin?
That’s a tough one. Better for a Christian theologian than me. I see the predator/prey relationship as built into the natural order.
@@carnivorerabbi haha I honestly havnt given it much thought but it did cross my mind. Carnivore has been doing me good. Thanks for the videos.
Can I drink coffee in the morning on carnivore?
Test it. Some people do fine with coffee. Others not. Really strict carnivores do not but many thriving ones do.
But rabbi, God said the plants are good for eating
Definitely. They’re good for certain animals to eat not humans.
@@carnivorerabbi God said it to Adam and Eve
@@KenGi973 It’s a vision of utopia. In a perfect world we would not have prey and predator. But we are not perfect.
"Nutritional leverage". Nice one. A vegan would call it animal exploitation 😂.
they definitely would!
time to wake up
100%
So what did Adam and Eve eat in the garden of Eden? Animals? Did they have to eat?
Big theological question! Some people argue that God intended for them to be vegetarians, but I think there are lots of problems with that interpretation. And even if we accept it, it didn’t work out that way. I’ll do a video on that in the future.
When eve sinned, God altered our genetics. We were "forced" to kill in order to live
They should have ate the serpent. Not eating meat was their big mistake.
@@creepycrespi8180 Best reply so far.
Since it is a fairy tale I don't think it matters.
