I lost my doctor because he wanted me to go on a statin and I didn't want to take a statin because of everything I've learned from people like you and Dr. Berry and others in the carnivore and keto community. He screamed at me and told me I could have a heart attack if I wanted to. He didn't fire me as a patient but I fired him because I didn't want someone to treat me that way.
@@wendydomino I'm so sorry you experienced that from your ignorant doctor. We deserve respect from our health care "professionals". 😔 Good on you for staying strong and prioritising your health over a doctor's income! 😍 It's been suggested that there is a link between statins and Alzheimers and Parkinsons. My doctor mildly disapproves of my choices but she respects my autonomy and does not try to insist. She listens to my reasoning. I really miss my previous doctor who was trained holistically and encouraged natural health above allopathic medicines! She has gone into the hospital in the mental health service to work. Blessing for them and loss for us. 😢😅
@@GypsyGirl317 I have both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease in my family history. I told him during that conversation that I didn't want to raise my risk of Alzheimer's because to me that was scarier than a heart attack. He didn't care.
I was 330 lb in a mobile scooter as a result of abuse done to me when I was a child in a boarding school. I had to have a hip replacement and a knee replacement, they broke bones and left children with those broken bones often for weeks at a time. As a result necrosis or bone death occurs leading to years of pain and potentially lifetime disability. I survived where most others did not. I became an attorney because I wanted to help protect others, I didn't want anyone to suffer what happened to me. I wanted to be a force for good, to have the ability to protect people. I was determined not to live my life disabled. I found Dr Jason Fung, started to eat healthily. I lost a lot of weight. I am just over 180 lb, 5'4, female. I bike everyday on an exercise bike, I get between 15 to 20 miles. I am healthier than I have ever been but I still have some issues. I would like to lose an additional 20 lb but that's not the primary thing. There is still a lot of pain and I would like to get rid of as much of it as possible. Today is day one of pure carnivore. I have set myself a 30-Day challenge. Exclusively carnivore, not lion diet but close, and I will see what my labs are like and how I feel. If everything goes well I will extend it to 60 days and potentially beyond. I've read so many incredible testimonials from people whose lives have been changed as a result of eating this way.
You will drop weight like crazy on carnivore and inflammation will go wayyyy down. Keep in mind that you may have diarrhea and oxalate dumping in beginning while your body flushes out toxic sludge so Power through and you’ll never look back. Oh, and my mental health (panic attacks) improved greatly. No panic attacks and paranoia is mostly history and it’s not even been a full year yet. I suffered abuse too but not on your level. Love you and be well ❤
@@loriegosnell9355 I have been eating almost no vegetables for several months now, it was in preparation for this change. I would have a handful of seasonal berries or a few nuts but I haven't been eating spinach or other high in oxalate vegetables for a while. I would have some green beans which I'm not going to eat anymore. There is one thing. I don't want to give up my morning coffee. I know, coffee is not carnivore it is a plant! But maybe one cup of coffee a day and everything else meat, butter, eggs with most of my calories coming from beef. I had an omelette with a few ounces of beef in it. At dinner time I plan to have a steak and that's it. Maybe a little butter on it because this steak is kind of lean. I'm not sure if I can give up coffee quite yet. Please don't tell the carnivore police on me. I don't want to be scolded.
Decafe organic coffee is what I have - that’s the best I can do for now - giving up bread - wine - pasta - fruit and vegetables is all I can do ( for now :) Good luck !
Quit coffee one week now. My skin started to feel moist, it seems more supple. 2 months ago, I started watering down my coffee after quitting cigarettes. I'm glad I did. No physical withdrawal from quiting. I drink bottled spring water and it tastes great.😊
LION Carnivore since October 2023 at 232 lbs, today April 30th, 2024 weighed in at 170 lbs with MINIMAL exercise, its been 80%-90% diet, and I have seen the best weight loss when eating more fat.
I've been carnivore now for over seven months! I've lost almost 40 pounds. Reversed fatty liver, diabetes and diverticulitis. No more bursitis no more inflammation. No more anti anxiety meds and no more pepcid. I'm living my life like i wanted to for years. I'm 60 years old. Gone through menopause. I am at a weight stall but you made sense of why. My husband joined me as well. I'm so blessed i found this WOE. And thank you Dr Chaffee for always exposing the truth! You are a true inspiration!! I've spread the word to family and friends and three of my friends are now carnivore with lots of health wins!! Cheers to carnivore!! P.s I love your kitty. We have two tabbies😁
I can tell when my body is needing fat by how fat tastes when I take a bite of it. If it makes my stomach upset I back off. If it tastes amazing and I feel like I can eat a ton of it I keep going.
It's all most the same with me. If I'm about to throw up when I eat fat, then I only eat bare minimum. But today I ate meat with very fat marbling and had no problems with it.
I agree. I literally flip through all the different kinds of meat and fat in my brain like flip cards. What ever tweaks my appetite is what I go with. And it’s random. I trust my body to tell me what it needs.
3 months strict keto, 1 week strict carnivore; suddenly, 4 days ago, (3 days carnivore,) I had loads more energy and my body temperature is up to nearly normal. After decades of starving, 42yrs ME, arthritis etc; all improving, plus even losing excess weight. after 40 yrs failed low-fat dieting. So grateful! Also started reducing pain meds, hooray!
I’ve been listening to you for a while. This episode has made me a firm believer that you are a wonderful, sincere, caring doctor. Stopping to attend to your cat cemented my decision. You are awesome. Thank you for all that you do!!
Hi Anthony. I've been fighting fibro and fatigue for 30 years and going through a keto flu from hell, but muscle by muscle I'm regenerating thanks to your meticulous and precise presentations. My wife is like I was. Mad on veg and bad on fats but I'm not deterred. Your tenacity and depth of research is essential for the likes of me in supporting the path to true health. I wish you all the best for a long and healthy life. Please keep up the great work!
I have a SDA client who will not consider any meat or fat. I explained all the info from Dr Chaffee but she cannot consider doing such a simple and money saving thing to be pain free - says it is excruciating hard sharp lunps all over her body - I am exercising tolerance.
I have always been a big fan of animal fat. When I was a kid, and we'd have a BBQ, my favorite part of a steak was the fat cap, especially if it had a little bit of crunch to it.
I loved it too. But my doctor told me to cut it out for my skin. I did. Didn’t help skin but my joints became agonisingly painful and they said it was arthritis. I was 16 At 20 went back to eating fat and it improved a bit. Now carnivore and absolutely no trace of “arthritis” I don’t want their opinions any more. I’m happy.
Thank you SO much for all of the amazing information and sharing your incredible knowledge!! I have been carnivore since February 2023 and it has changed my life my health and I’m healing from Hashimotos! My doctor is amazed by my numbers. I share your videos with my friends hoping they will finally realize this is the way to live healthily!! Again thank you for giving of your time and expertise ❤
I’m down 18 lbs as of today on Carnivore🎉I started back May 1. I had never had a problem with my weight until after I had kids. I was happy in a bikini after a c-section at 175! & I looked good…Got my thyroid said it was normal…fam history of low thyroid. I have not been able to lose weight since I started a sitting job 22 years ago. So grateful for all of this information.😭happy tears!! I was 278 May 1st now 260…. Goal is 180 right now with ultimate of 145.
It sucks that my parents depend on drugs and supplements, one of them being statins. They claim that eating vegetables and fruits are enough to occasionally drink alcohol and binge out on restaurant food, and that nothing is better than carbs and plant food. They are 'slim' in comparison to the very overweight population so they think they're doing well, but a lot of it is visceral fat and they struggle with a lot of 'old people diseases' which frankly is just lifestyle diseases (GERD, joint pains, swelling, etc). They believe I'm in on a fad diet, that animal meat and fat are poisonous, not to mention they idolize Bill Gates for pushing fake meat, because cow farming is responsible for climate change... I turned carnivore and learned the science behind it all. It sucks that the world is getting so divided because of misinformation. Hopefully my improvement will convince them that animals are not bad. It's really tough to see their health deteriorate, who think they're aging well.
Wow, I just started carnivore 3 days in and I can feel some benefits already, I’m a little nervous as I’ve tried before but stopped due to feeling off. This time I feel better, I have so many questions, some of which were answered here. Nice to know you’re down under, grateful Kiwi here, thank you 🙏
Anthony, I am grateful that your speech is slowing down a bit in this video.....some of these videos you are talking so fast that it is easy to miss stuff. Your words are offering pearls of wisdom. I want to catch every single pearl. I'm sure others feel the same way. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Some of us naturally talk quickly and try as we might it's impossible to permanently change that. Believe me I've tried for decades! 😅 Like the other wise one said, eat meat and keep up. 😁🙆🏻♀️ I've always been able to catch every word because I listen attentively. ❤️
Hi Dr Chaffee, I have been following you for a while now and really enjoy the benefits of the Carnivore Diet. Recently a few things started happening and I'm really worried... I am 46 years old and based in South Africa and i have been on the Carnivore Diet since the beginning of this year (2024) and i have to say that i have had great results. In all honesty i can say there was was a few times where i cheated (eating carbs/veggies, etc.), but that was when i was in the situation where i needed to eat what was available at that time and place. Those i can count on one hand. That would have been like one meal for that particular day then i would just continue with my Carnivore the next day... Since around a week ago i started experiencing this weird pressure feeling in the middle of my chest. When this happens i can confirm my heartbeat is out of rhythm for a few seconds. It's like an anxiety attack or something. This is a huge concern for me as i never had this before and never had any cardiac issues. I went to my GP yesterday and explained to her about my Carnivore Diet and the sudden chest and heart concerns. Her reaction seemed a little bias against my diet but i did not really pay attention to that. I do know that there is a new kind of flue virus doing the rounds and hopefully that's the cause... My GP only smiled(the look in her face that Carnivore is the cause...) and told me we will see after my blood results next week... I also have to do a stress EKG with my checkup. So this raised the following questions, and also consider i have no blood pressure issues/sugar/prior heart conditions as i annually did my checkups : 1. Can the Carnivore Diet be the possible cause of heart failure/issues suddenly? 2. Can you kindly explain what this diet should do to my cholesterol levels? 3. What should my cholesterol levels be when I'm on the Carnivore Diet? When should i be concerned? 4. Can my arteries be clogged because of all my fat intake? I really hope to hear from you soon and that you will read this... Thank you and God bless Rudi Coetzee
Have you ever addressed/would you consider addressing fatty liver and carnivore. My ALT has been going up over the past several years and has shot up 10 points since starting carnivore. I'm wondering if I'm eating too much fat... Is there such a thing as eating TOO MUCH fat?
Thanks for all the useful info in all of your blogs Dr Chaffee👍 I’m changing my diet slowly from a primarily plant based to a carnivore but I need to know what effect carnivore will have on the fat content, which I love, in my arteries, and will I suddenly start having increased cholesterol? Any help with these Q’s is greatly appreciated🙏🙏🙏
1 LB of GF ground beef costs me less than $8; so why are the 2 oz Carnivore Bars that claim to have 1/2 LB of beef per bar $14 to $18 each??? I think I will just continue to precook my patties and freeze them...
@@Debra95621if this is the Frankie I am thinking of watch out!! He’s a psycho and a complete fraud. He lost his mind when dr baker first came out swearing up and down he came up with the carnivore diet and freakin lost it afterwards. This guy looks Italian btw
You answered a question I have pondered. I have had days where I don’t eliminate waste and some days where the waste is more like diarrhea. It is rare when I feel I have a healthy elimination. Now I know thanks to you that this is an indicator of if I am getting enough or too much fat. That should help.
No farmers=no food No politicians=more peace, greater prosperity, better health and increased freedom We have been conditioned to think that only politicians can solve our problems. Maybe at some point we'll wake up and recognise that it is our belief in politicians and authority which is the problem. I now buy most of my meat from a company here in The Netherlands (Eerlijketen) that works directly with local farmers.
HI.. MAGGIE HERE.. I am aware that some factions want to regulate the beef industry in the States by demanding RFID tracking tags in every animal . Sad about that. The CFIA in Canada brought in an RFID tag regulation so that an animal cannot be sold alive without a tag or leave their place of birth .. It is another way of regulating our lives, costing money and causing more labour and problems for our ranches . Tag retention is a HUGE issue and these tags are over $3 each . Site infections and torn ears on baby calves is a problem . They say consumers want this type of identification .. BUNK !! NOT TRUE . and they say they can trace disease faster and more efficiently .. NOT TRUE .. the animals in an area where disease shows up, ARE THERE ALREADY .. Where the disease came from ..such as bird flu ..BIRDS BRING IT .. BSE?? BUNK AGAIN!! Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is NOT a TSE .. and certainly NOT a zoonotic disease , proven by Dr Mark Purdy in the UK and the USA federal research done with cattle and roe deer in a1990s study in the mid west . BSE is a disease manifested by a lack of copper available to the mammalian brain causing convoluted and warped proteins in the brain .this is the same for humans in the rare case of C. Jacob's Disease . Any mammal can suffer from a SE but it is not TRANSMISSABLE. THANKS FOR READING THIS TO THE END . IT IS VERY SAD WHEN THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT ARE SUPPRESSED BECAUSE GOVERNMENTS HAVE JUMPED ON A BANDWAGON AND STARTED DEMANDING THAT PEOPLE AND ANIMALS BE UNDER STRICT REGULATIONS AND RULES AND LOCKDOWNS. AND THEY DONT WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE . (SAME AS THEIR REACTION TO COVID 19 .) COUNTLESS ANIMALS WERE EUTHANIZED WITHOUT PROPER INVESTIGATION OR REASON AND WE ARE STILL SUFFERING IN THE CATTLE INDUSTRY FROM THIS CRIMINAL REACTION IN CANADA AND GREAT BRITAIN . Thanks to Dr Chaffee AGAIN FOR BRINGING THE TRUTH ABOUT the Carnivore Diet to the people who desperately need it .
The point of the tagging is to have the ability to trace animal disease back to its point of origin. Do you not want to be sure the meat you are eating is not diseased? By the way, Australia already does this.
9:04 gout info OMG, that is probably what I had in the hospital. I was in for pneumonia and upon release to rehab, I had pseudo gout for the whole month of March. Allopurinol and colchicine did not reduce it fast enough. I had gout in both feet, one knee and one elbow and sometimes one wrist. It was the worst attack in my life. I think it was the oxalate dumping Dr Chaffee was talking about. 1:00:40 Additionally on carnivore, I only eat when I want. I do not feel hunger. I now know the hunger I was feeling was really carb withdrawal. LMAO, I had a lucid dream once. I was batman that could fly and I was fighting dinosaurs
Dr Chaffee I can sense your sincerity. I started the carnivore diet on March 11. I am 73 and was 297 lbs then I started. I have not cheated but probably over did cheese in the beginning. Not crazy but about 24 oz in the first month mostly I am eating bacon, eggs, steak, ground beef, pork chops, chicken legs and thighs, fish once a week and sausages. I only drink water but have a cup of coffee once a week or tea. No sugar or carbs. I had a blood draw on 4/19. I was excited to see the results after being on the diet for over a month. I saw my doctor on 4/30 and had 110 for my blood sugar and 205 for cholesterol. Those reading were higher than my last draw one year earlier. My weight was 281. I hoped it would be lower. I told my Dr that I has started the carnivore diet and he thought the red might be the reason my cholesterol was elevated. He had me scheduled to see a dietitian and is going to have some test done to see if I have a fatty liver. So am I one of those that needs a different diet or I don’t know what?
I'm new here but the more I learn about cholesterol, I'm not as worried about the numbers they use as a guideline. But, I'm curious what he says. Whatever you do, I highly caution you to stay away from statins.
You probably have to ignore your cholesterol numbers. They weren’t crazy. See if you can find a carnivore friendly doctor. Your weight needs to be addressed and you’ve only really just started. Don’t worry. Keep going.
??????????? Is canned corned beef a good thing to have in our cupboards? I used to love it as a child and I know it has high salt but it feels like a really good emergency food to store
Thyroid: I had a huge rock hard thyroid. I started putting a drop of iodine in my cup of tea, I kind of liked it so put it in every cuppa😅 was having about 6 drops a day for over a month, it poisoned me but totally sorted my thyroid issue out👊🏻
If you can find raw grass fed butter, even better. The taste is amazing. Also, the fattiest cuts of meat are cheaper than the lean ones where I live, go figure 🤑 search for chuck eye cuts of steaks, they have almost 1:1 protein to fat.
OMG! My 20 yo cat is named Little Boy! My other cat was Pretty Boy who passed last New Year's Eve at 19 yo. Pretty got his name from catching him laying in flowers. His favorite place to be. Even if artificial! Pretty was a huge white long haired Main Coon that acted like a dog. My "BOYS" are my family ❤ They also eat what I eat. MEAT (plus added Taurine).
@@marylee8384 You have to find a 'WHY' strong enough for you. I have a weak immune system that has caused a fungal infection on my scalp because of this I'm 23 and balding. Medication didn't work and it has been almost 6 years. This diet is how I'm healing that. Find a WHY and remind yourself every time you crave sugar. I work in a supermarket where they offer free cookies and junk in the break room because my WHY I will never fail.❤️❤️. Good luck on your journey
Day 43 ⚡ Meat Heals 💛 I eat Beef Beef Beef Beef I Am Loving Being Carnivore - the best way I can describe the effect of 'just eating meat' is by saying ITS LIKE BEING INJECTED BY LIGHTNING ⚡⚡⚡
Hi Dr. I actually have a Rugby question. My son is 8 yrs and is about to start tackling for rugby. Do you recommend the helmets/hats they have available or is it better not to have one?. Have read conflicting things. Would love your opinion please?
They way I had understood is when you eat meat and carbs, different digestive juices are released to break each down that cancel each other out, causing the food to sit much longer purifying until the body can break them down much longer. Please clarify. If we are eating carnivore you are eliminating the cancelation of digestive secretions
Yes!! There is a yt vid of an interview with a young man who has a stoma at the ilium. It has a plastic window where he can see the contents leaving the stomach. When he ate just meat, only fluid left the stomach. Then he ate just veggies, and as the bulky contents left the stomach he could identify every veg still ! And then as it finally left the body it had not much changed. If someone has seen this video coukd they mention who created this video?
Thank you Doc. I hope to continue my carnivore journey. I am still find it hard to eat a lot of butter and animal fat. Some nights I feel awful due to not eating enough fat😢
The cat story was funny. I went through the same thing. I got a dog from the shelter and he needed a name. He was a puppy still. Every name I suggested my kids hated. So we kept saying, “come here little dude. “. He began responding to that and so his name is Dude. My daughter got another shelter dog and named him Bro. Then it turned into Brochacho after joking when someone asked if that was short for something. Well that stuck so when he’s in trouble it’s Brochacho, and when he’s being good, it’s Bro. Luckily he’s usually a good boy.
I started Carnivore 3 weeks ago for IBS, I usually have diarrhea after my first meal. I figure it will take time to heal, I have no gall bladder so right now I can’t eat much excess fat or it the diarrhea is really bad! Steak eggs cooked in olive oil no butter, should I take ox bile? I have had the IBS for about 4 years!
I don't get the eat till it stops tasting good, does that happen? I bought a 2/½ pound tri tip roast and ended up eating the whole thing. my stomach was about to pop but it still tasted good.
Yes I agree that our bodies need good animal fat for a myriad of reasons and I'm moving into a carnivore diet myself, but.... Please tell people that they should slowly transition into eating more fatty meat gradually and introducing small amounts of fat in the beginning, because NOT all of us can handle the larger amounts of fat. Some of us get gallbladder-liver issues and it's not fun at all ! A few days after starting carnivore I got severe pain in my upper right back, shoulder-neck area and it's referred pain from gallbladder which radiates through phrenic nerve. I still have this debilitating pain for the past 10 days. I've written about it in the comment section of all the carnivore diet youtube channels and NOT one of the experts has responded and no one addressed this issue in a video except Stephanie Keto and Dr Berg. I wish more carnivore channels would speak about this problem. Greetings from Italy 💖🍀
I got the exact same issues as you got. I should add that they recently did an ultrasound on me. A gallstone moved up into the cystic duct after going carnivore and before long I had a gallbladder attack and pain in the liver. I'm soon meeting a surgeon and in all likelihood will have to have my gallbladder removed as the stuck stone is over a cm in diameter. My bile wasn't getting used in a long time as I was eating little to no fat. Once I introduced fat wasn't long before I started having issues. I figure that the stone that was already formed in the gallbladder got pushed up when the bile started to empty from the GB pouch. No mention of this happening when people who might have GB stones switching suddenly from a vegetarian diet to carnivore. BTW I wasn't aware that there was a stone in the GB until the bile started getting used when I introduced fat. Despite my situation I'm still eating carnivore but having discomfort at the site of my GB. Perhaps I shouldn't be eating a carnivore diet right now.
@@angelataylor2049 Yep, too bad not one of the carnivore channels speak about this condition and many people may begin suffering from this issue and not know what is going on.
I would lile to ask If thos comon in Low carb Keto Carnivore diet?! I'm male 43 yesr old, 3 months on keto and lost 27 kilos,and my libido is like super super high, never in my life was that high! Is that normal if anyone knows. Thx Btw, super video, very good question and amazing answers!
♥️ From France, you're the doc! I started 10 days + ago, but not really carnivore, still eat some vegetables (French beans coz I'm French 😋, green peas, very little fruit), lapsed a couple times, sushi, glass of wine, a beer or two, but I lost 4 kilos doing nothing but the normal, and most importantly my ibs is Goooooone, as soon as I had mostly meat, butter, eggs, cheese, and very little veggies, but zero bread. I'm so happy with the list bloated stomach, and I'm also happier, calmer. I'm so thankful God sent these videos to me. Thank you for being the kind of doctor who doesn't run after pharma money, along with Dr Ken Berry, Dr Elizabeth Bright, Paul Mason, etc
2 years in started with strict keto now carnivore and still have gout. Dr Berry said cut out dairy except for butter and ghee. Gout is no fun at all. Plus on Keto for first year gout flare ups where every 15 to 16 days started to be longer and longer in between. Still an issue but better
Something in your diet is causing inflammation. Do you season with packets? That's a lot of plant. Do you get me already seasoned at the market? Just a few things I myself needed to change. Try for a week or more of plain red meat (unseasoned), eggs (bacon and others can be procured), salt and water. Raw fresh from store. It may take a while if you had a high plant or processed food diet before. That all has to be cleaned out of us and it can take quite some time. Your body is possibly ridding itself of stored plant toxins and chemicals for preservatives. Good luck. Find what is causing inflammation from diet and consider an increase in pain while stored toxic substances are exiting the body. 🙏❤️
Great presentation Dr Chaffee, thank you. But how is one to reconcile between your view that you need to aim for up to 2 grams of fat for every gram of protein, and Coach Bronson's claim that you should lower your fat in order to loose weight?
Just think of it this way… protein becomes your carbs through gluconeogenesis, so in order to keep your fat as preferred energy then you need to make sure you consume at least 50 or preferably more (70) percent fat and keep in mind that fat doesn’t weigh as much so you’re probably eating less than you think.
I've had fatty liver the last three years with a severe grade each time from a fibroscan. Every time I have a fibroscan, I also have an ultrasound done right before with results of mild or moderate. I've been following a carnivore diet the last few months to try and reverse this with finally being able to lose some weight. I had the ultrasound done at the beginning of this month with a normal liver, which I was so happy about. I had the fibroscan done last week with a severe status still with an increase in CAP. Why are the results so different? Is the ultrasound not a waste of time and money then? Could the animal fats cause a rise on the CAP? I feel so well on the carnivore diet compared to all of the other diets ive tried and it helps to manage my pain from hEDS.
My cat boys are vocal. They call me "momma"! They say "hello" and "love you". Probably just repeating what I say the most (and I lived with my Momma while they were young). ❤😺❤
Hi Doctor, and thank you! I'm a 70yo female living in NSW. Though I think I've lived a healthy lifestyle, eating properly, and at times lots of exercising. After 8 months on carnivore, I feel better and have lost 20k's. My recent blood test is showing a TSH, raised biilirubin/24, and kidney issue. After hearing the dangerous news about vegetables, i have stopped eating them, but most of my studies are saying that saturated fat and vegetables are lacking. Can you offer me any advice please?
bur how much is enough fat? In a 1 kg ribeye that is 70% water, how much of it is fat and how much should you supplement with additional fat trimmings? What would constitute a 1:1 meat/fat ratio in that context ( of 1:1 is the right amount, just used as an example )
Dear Dr Chafee thank u for ur information. Question- my husband has PD. Dr advised best diet is veg. As he says the meds for PD don’t agree with protein. And my husband says eating meat doesn’t do well for his tummy- his insides burn. So he’s convinced that veg r best for him cos his tummy doesn’t burn. What’s ur suggestion to him Ps? What cud be causing his tummy to burn when eating meat only ?
@@anthonychaffeemd you deserve it!! I’m going to continue to give you thanks. It’s 10 days and my elbows don’t hurt , my thyroid is good too. My left kidney ache for a few days but it’s better today. Super easy to eat like this. I’m grateful for you. ♥️
Hi Dr Chaffer, This is my 3rd day on the Carnivore diet. Having been taught to stay clear of lard and animal fats, Im having to overcome some cognitive dissonance as it's winter here and the lard that remains on the dirty dishes reminds me that Ive just eaten all of that earlier. Any advice? Thanks
Just as a note, if you get 1kg of beef mince which is 70% beef and 30% fat that is 300g of fat and 154g of protein. That is the 2g fat to 1g protein spoken about in the video. So if you get to a butcher you can order 30% fat beef mince and know you have the right proportions of fat and protein.
At 43:30 I'm not sure why you don't think chilblains are real. 🤔 I'm in my sixties and I was a nurse for many years from the age of 18 in the mid 1970s. I have experienced chilblains myself many times in my younger years - they occur when the toes/feet get really cold, and then we warm them up too quickly like with a hot water bottle or in front of the fire 🔥 - it's painful! 😅 I nursed people who had them as well. You may have another name for the physiological phenomenon, but it definitely exists. Keep up the great work you do. Your wisdom is changing lives around the globe! 😍 Your approach is gentlemanly and refreshing. I've recently changed to ketovore and my body is definitely thanking me for it. Here in New Zealand I have a lot of lamb as well as beef and eggs. It's so good!
I’m on statin now. Is it harmful to continue on it? I just started adding a lot more animal fat to my diet, but haven’t gone on strict carnivore yet. My triglyceride has been extremely high for a quite a few years now.
Dear Dr Chaffee, I have been taking Colesevelam tablets for my Crohn's, which binds to the bile. Now I'm carnivore will this be working against me with the fat absorption? I would be grateful for advice on this.
When eating a Ribeye steak how much fat needs to be added to get 2/1 fat/protein. Thinking all the olive oil and butter from the pan steak was seared in? Carnivore now 16 months!
I think there needs to be a new video on why carnivore. Keep it simple with the topics of: 1) Carnivore is not about eating protein, it is about a high fat, 0 carbs, elimination diet 2) You might not see any reduction in weight for weeks or months ... your body needs to heals, takes time to switch over to fat adaption, high leptins etc. 3) You want to eliminate toxins out of your food, e.g. seed oils can stay present in your body for more than 2 years ... YEARS! ... and tomatoes are nightshades etc. 4) Carbs compete for vitamin and mineral absorption, e.g. with carbs you need milligrams of Vitamin C, without carbs you only need trace amounts
i get beef from a family farm that is lean meat with the animals eating grass at an affordable price for me being on a fixed income. i need to increase my fat intake and am struggling to do so. i have been eating Irish grass-fed butter and hate it. is there another method of increasing fat intake without eating butter? i have not been able to find extra fat from the butcher to be ground into the burger which is mostly what i eat. any suggestions are welcome. thank you.
@@living2day617 yes it is carb-free and clean but i would need to drink it to get enough fat. i just found a local farm selling pork so i am going to get some and mix the fatty ground pork with my ground beef and see if that works. so blessed to find someone i know selling clean meat! thank you for the info and i am keeping it on my list of things to try.
I want to clarify my earlier point about sustainability when it comes to a carnivore diet. The quality of the meat you choose is crucial for your health. Many people overlook the importance of selecting organic, grass-fed, and grass-finished meat. These animals are raised on their natural diet, which means their meat is richer in essential nutrients and healthy fats that promote overall well-being. When people focus on a carnivore diet but don't prioritize organic, grass-fed, and grass-finished meat, they're missing the essence of what makes this approach truly beneficial. Animals raised on a natural diet-eating grass and foraging as they would in nature-provide meat rich in essential nutrients, healthy fats, and anti-inflammatory properties. When we consume these animals, we're indirectly getting the nutrients from the plants they ate, which translates into a cleaner, healthier food source. On the other hand, if people turn to cheaper meat from CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations), they're consuming meat that's often tainted with antibiotics, growth hormones, and a diet primarily based on grains or even soy. These animals aren't raised in humane or natural conditions, which not only affects their health but also degrades the quality of the meat we end up eating. This type of meat is often higher in unhealthy fats and lower in essential nutrients, which can lead to inflammation and other health issues over time. Ingesting meat from CAFO animals means you're also ingesting all the toxins, antibiotics, and the lack of proper nutrients that come from their unnatural diet and living conditions. It can create more harm than good and undermines the very goal of following a carnivore diet-to achieve vibrant health. So, if we truly want to follow a healthy carnivore diet, prioritizing organic, grass-fed, and grass-finished meat is not just ideal-it's essential for long-term sustainability and well-being.
Since the body makes around 800 to 1,000 milliliters per day, how much maximum fat does that equal to for this bile to be able to process to be digested? (Since too much fat means if the bile can't process it, it will not be absorbed for most fat types) Also, let's say a person has bile acid malabsorption so they eat an around 75% fat diet to be in ketosis, but their bile acid isn't being absorbed so the fat they consume isn't being absorbed so they get diarrhea for example, would it be correct that they should reduce their fat intake or the fat percentage or both (considering they're not drinking coffee or having any other non carnivore things causing the diarrhea and it's the Bile Acid Malabsorption to be the accepted reason for this result). Also, does bile acid malabsorption eventually fade off if you continue on the carnivore diet on a high fat diet (enough to be in optimal ketosis values) or do you have to do something extra to treat the malabsorption. What is a possible treatment you can do, if possible, just with diet? Or would it have to be better through some kind of supplemental aid? Or do you just accept you have BAM and then maybe treat it the way you would if you didn't have a gallbladder and change your meal sizes and times and frequencies?
I’m just about to hit 90 days on the carnivore diet. I noticed that my poop is increasing in size and frequency. Last month I was pooping only a little every 2-3 days. Should I be worried of the lack of absorption of nutrients?
I just don’t like chewing on the fatty part of the meat. To me it is impossible to eat. Would it be enough to eat butter or do I need to add ground beef to get some fat?
Funny enough, I had the same aversion a year ago and at some point I ate a bite and didn’t notice and I was like. “This is so tasty!” My palate must have change. It was fat on a ribeye that woke me some.
At 14 I was diagnosed with a dehydrated disc, was told I would have to live with it for the rest of my life. At 15 I cured it with a carnivore diet.
🎉🎉🎉
Great 🎉❤
Wow!! 🎉
Your an inspiration for those around you. Keep on promoting it 👊
How wonderful!!
I lost my doctor because he wanted me to go on a statin and I didn't want to take a statin because of everything I've learned from people like you and Dr. Berry and others in the carnivore and keto community. He screamed at me and told me I could have a heart attack if I wanted to. He didn't fire me as a patient but I fired him because I didn't want someone to treat me that way.
Good for you
@@mitchdegrace2040 Thank you. It didn't feel very good. :(
You deserve better than that!!! Your doctor is a fool.
@@wendydomino I'm so sorry you experienced that from your ignorant doctor. We deserve respect from our health care "professionals". 😔
Good on you for staying strong and prioritising your health over a doctor's income! 😍
It's been suggested that there is a link between statins and Alzheimers and Parkinsons.
My doctor mildly disapproves of my choices but she respects my autonomy and does not try to insist. She listens to my reasoning.
I really miss my previous doctor who was trained holistically and encouraged natural health above allopathic medicines! She has gone into the hospital in the mental health service to work. Blessing for them and loss for us. 😢😅
@@GypsyGirl317 I have both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease in my family history.
I told him during that conversation that I didn't want to raise my risk of Alzheimer's because to me that was scarier than a heart attack. He didn't care.
I was 330 lb in a mobile scooter as a result of abuse done to me when I was a child in a boarding school. I had to have a hip replacement and a knee replacement, they broke bones and left children with those broken bones often for weeks at a time. As a result necrosis or bone death occurs leading to years of pain and potentially lifetime disability.
I survived where most others did not. I became an attorney because I wanted to help protect others, I didn't want anyone to suffer what happened to me. I wanted to be a force for good, to have the ability to protect people.
I was determined not to live my life disabled. I found Dr Jason Fung, started to eat healthily. I lost a lot of weight. I am just over 180 lb, 5'4, female. I bike everyday on an exercise bike, I get between 15 to 20 miles. I am healthier than I have ever been but I still have some issues. I would like to lose an additional 20 lb but that's not the primary thing. There is still a lot of pain and I would like to get rid of as much of it as possible.
Today is day one of pure carnivore.
I have set myself a 30-Day challenge. Exclusively carnivore, not lion diet but close, and I will see what my labs are like and how I feel. If everything goes well I will extend it to 60 days and potentially beyond. I've read so many incredible testimonials from people whose lives have been changed as a result of eating this way.
You will drop weight like crazy on carnivore and inflammation will go wayyyy down. Keep in mind that you may have diarrhea and oxalate dumping in beginning while your body flushes out toxic sludge so Power through and you’ll never look back. Oh, and my mental health (panic attacks) improved greatly. No panic attacks and paranoia is mostly history and it’s not even been a full year yet. I suffered abuse too but not on your level. Love you and be well ❤
@@loriegosnell9355 I have been eating almost no vegetables for several months now, it was in preparation for this change. I would have a handful of seasonal berries or a few nuts but I haven't been eating spinach or other high in oxalate vegetables for a while. I would have some green beans which I'm not going to eat anymore.
There is one thing. I don't want to give up my morning coffee. I know, coffee is not carnivore it is a plant! But maybe one cup of coffee a day and everything else meat, butter, eggs with most of my calories coming from beef. I had an omelette with a few ounces of beef in it. At dinner time I plan to have a steak and that's it. Maybe a little butter on it because this steak is kind of lean.
I'm not sure if I can give up coffee quite yet. Please don't tell the carnivore police on me. I don't want to be scolded.
Decafe organic coffee is what I have - that’s the best I can do for now - giving up bread - wine - pasta - fruit and vegetables is all I can do ( for now :)
Good luck !
Good luck!! You've got this! Just keep in mind the carb withdrawal you might go through. Don't give up, push through, the other side is awesome xxx
Quit coffee one week now. My skin started to feel moist, it seems more supple. 2 months ago, I started watering down my coffee after quitting cigarettes. I'm glad I did. No physical withdrawal from quiting. I drink bottled spring water and it tastes great.😊

LION Carnivore since October 2023 at 232 lbs, today April 30th, 2024 weighed in at 170 lbs with MINIMAL exercise, its been 80%-90% diet, and I have seen the best weight loss when eating more fat.
What kind of fat you eat ? Thanks for sharing
That is so great to hear!
I've been carnivore now for over seven months! I've lost almost 40 pounds.
Reversed fatty liver, diabetes and diverticulitis.
No more bursitis no more inflammation.
No more anti anxiety meds and no more pepcid.
I'm living my life like i wanted to for years. I'm 60 years old. Gone through menopause. I am at a weight stall but you made sense of why.
My husband joined me as well.
I'm so blessed i found this WOE. And thank you Dr Chaffee for always exposing the truth! You are a true inspiration!!
I've spread the word to family and friends and three of my friends are now carnivore with lots of health wins!!
Cheers to carnivore!!
P.s I love your kitty. We have two tabbies😁
That is so great to hear! I'm really happy for you :-)
I can tell when my body is needing fat by how fat tastes when I take a bite of it. If it makes my stomach upset I back off. If it tastes amazing and I feel like I can eat a ton of it I keep going.
Yes ❤ I can tell too when I need more fat vs more protein
It's all most the same with me. If I'm about to throw up when I eat fat, then I only eat bare minimum. But today I ate meat with very fat marbling and had no problems with it.
Me too!
Interesting I get a nauseous feeling as well… maybe a bit of diarrhea
I agree. I literally flip through all the different kinds of meat and fat in my brain like flip cards. What ever tweaks my appetite is what I go with. And it’s random. I trust my body to tell me what it needs.
Some of the most "angry at life" people that i have ever met were vegetarian and vegans...
I was a vegan and that's true! Carnivore now for seven months and left behind my anti anxiety meds! I'm much calmer and happy.
You can say that again!
Not true.
Anecdotal evidence.
Most vegans are quite gentle..
They are on a spiritual journey.
@@robbiekeith3528 That's your opinion, but with my personal exp, my opinion is more valid.
😂 So true!
Thank you for your wonderful content. You are always kind, informative, and so generous with your help. Deeply appreciative.
3 months strict keto, 1 week strict carnivore; suddenly, 4 days ago, (3 days carnivore,) I had loads more energy and my body temperature is up to nearly normal. After decades of starving, 42yrs ME, arthritis etc; all improving, plus even losing excess weight. after 40 yrs failed low-fat dieting. So grateful! Also started reducing pain meds, hooray!
I’ve been listening to you for a while. This episode has made me a firm believer that you are a wonderful, sincere, caring doctor. Stopping to attend to your cat cemented my decision. You are awesome. Thank you for all that you do!!
Hope you know how much you help so many of us all over the world. Thank you for sharing your time w/us
Hi Anthony. I've been fighting fibro and fatigue for 30 years and going through a keto flu from hell, but muscle by muscle I'm regenerating thanks to your meticulous and precise presentations. My wife is like I was. Mad on veg and bad on fats but I'm not deterred. Your tenacity and depth of research is essential for the likes of me in supporting the path to true health. I wish you all the best for a long and healthy life. Please keep up the great work!
I have a SDA client who will not consider any meat or fat. I explained all the info from Dr Chaffee but she cannot consider doing such a simple and money saving thing to be pain free - says it is excruciating hard sharp lunps all over her body - I am exercising tolerance.
I have always been a big fan of animal fat. When I was a kid, and we'd have a BBQ, my favorite part of a steak was the fat cap, especially if it had a little bit of crunch to it.
Same here. 😊
Last evening for dinner I had three large lamb chops roasted and the crunchy bits were so good! 😋
I loved it too. But my doctor told me to cut it out for my skin.
I did. Didn’t help skin but my joints became agonisingly painful and they said it was arthritis.
I was 16
At 20 went back to eating fat and it improved a bit. Now carnivore and absolutely no trace of “arthritis”
I don’t want their opinions any more.
I’m happy.
THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR TRUTH! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!❤❤❤
Thank you for all your honest information! I am so glad I found you! 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
We need more lucid dream discussions,Dr. Chaffee. You’re even cooler now. 💫 ❤
Thank you SO much for all of the amazing information and sharing your incredible knowledge!! I have been carnivore since February 2023 and it has changed my life my health and I’m healing from Hashimotos! My doctor is amazed by my numbers. I share your videos with my friends hoping they will finally realize this is the way to live healthily!! Again thank you for giving of your time and expertise ❤
I’m down 18 lbs as of today on Carnivore🎉I started back May 1. I had never had a problem with my weight until after I had kids. I was happy in a bikini after a c-section at 175! & I looked good…Got my thyroid said it was normal…fam history of low thyroid. I have not been able to lose weight since I started a sitting job 22 years ago. So grateful for all of this information.😭happy tears!! I was 278 May 1st now 260…. Goal is 180 right now with ultimate of 145.
Great montage ❤ greetings from Scotland, home you can come up to the Highlands one day !
You’re a good cat Dad. Glad you keep an eye on Little Boy
It sucks that my parents depend on drugs and supplements, one of them being statins. They claim that eating vegetables and fruits are enough to occasionally drink alcohol and binge out on restaurant food, and that nothing is better than carbs and plant food. They are 'slim' in comparison to the very overweight population so they think they're doing well, but a lot of it is visceral fat and they struggle with a lot of 'old people diseases' which frankly is just lifestyle diseases (GERD, joint pains, swelling, etc). They believe I'm in on a fad diet, that animal meat and fat are poisonous, not to mention they idolize Bill Gates for pushing fake meat, because cow farming is responsible for climate change...
I turned carnivore and learned the science behind it all. It sucks that the world is getting so divided because of misinformation. Hopefully my improvement will convince them that animals are not bad. It's really tough to see their health deteriorate, who think they're aging well.
Wow, I just started carnivore 3 days in and I can feel some benefits already, I’m a little nervous as I’ve tried before but stopped due to feeling off. This time I feel better, I have so many questions, some of which were answered here. Nice to know you’re down under, grateful Kiwi here, thank you 🙏
Yep my new mantra....Keep the fat, Keep the faith! I may print up a Tshirt!
I'll buy one!
My cat runs to me when i say "Where's my baaaaybeee" even if he is on another floor. I don't even have to yell.
M.y cats do that when they hear their bowls clanging. Foods coming
Anthony, I am grateful that your speech is slowing down a bit in this video.....some of these videos you are talking so fast that it is easy to miss stuff. Your words are offering pearls of wisdom. I want to catch every single pearl. I'm sure others feel the same way. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi Dr Chaffee,
I have been following you for a while now and really enjoy the benefits of the Carnivore Diet. Recently a few things started happening and I'm really worried... I am 46 years old and based in South Africa and i have been on the Carnivore Diet since the beginning of this year (2024) and i have to say that i have had great results. In all honesty i can say there was was a few times where i cheated (eating carbs/veggies, etc.), but that was when i was in the situation where i needed to eat what was available at that time and place. Those i can count on one hand. That would have been like one meal for that particular day then i would just continue with my Carnivore the next day... Since around a week ago i started experiencing this weird pressure feeling in the middle of my chest. When this happens i can confirm my heartbeat is out of rhythm for a few seconds. It's like an anxiety attack or something. This is a huge concern for me as i never had this before and never had any cardiac issues. I went to my GP yesterday and explained to her about my Carnivore Diet and the sudden chest and heart concerns. Her reaction seemed a little bias against my diet but i did not really pay attention to that. I do know that there is a new kind of flue virus doing the rounds and hopefully that's the cause... My GP only smiled(the look in her face that Carnivore is the cause...) and told me we will see after my blood results next week... I also have to do a stress EKG with my checkup. So this raised the following questions, and also consider i have no blood pressure issues/sugar/prior heart conditions as i annually did my checkups :
1. Can the Carnivore Diet be the possible cause of heart failure/issues suddenly?
2. Can you kindly explain what this diet should do to my cholesterol levels?
3. What should my cholesterol levels be when I'm on the Carnivore Diet? When should i be concerned?
4. Can my arteries be clogged because of all my fat intake?
I really hope to hear from you soon and that you will read this... Thank you and God bless

I wish you would do a video on sarcopenia in the elderly. We have such a problem with this. Thanks.
If we all started eating a hi fat diet TODAY..we might have just enough time left to save this ignorant species from extinction.

Have you ever addressed/would you consider addressing fatty liver and carnivore. My ALT has been going up over the past several years and has shot up 10 points since starting carnivore. I'm wondering if I'm eating too much fat... Is there such a thing as eating TOO MUCH fat?
Whoa! Very cool Dr Chaffee! Lucid dreaming so fun! Yeah! ❤🎉 An important part of my shamanic practice.
Thanks for all the useful info in all of your blogs Dr Chaffee👍 I’m changing my diet slowly from a primarily plant based to a carnivore but I need to know what effect carnivore will have on the fat content, which I love, in my arteries, and will I suddenly start having increased cholesterol? Any help with these Q’s is greatly appreciated🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Dr Chaffee.
1 LB of GF ground beef costs me less than $8; so why are the 2 oz Carnivore Bars that claim to have 1/2 LB of beef per bar $14 to $18 each??? I think I will just continue to precook my patties and freeze them...
Frankie’s Free Range Foods has pemmican bars for $4 each. Good quality Amish ingredients.
@@Debra95621if this is the Frankie I am thinking of watch out!! He’s a psycho and a complete fraud. He lost his mind when dr baker first came out swearing up and down he came up with the carnivore diet and freakin lost it afterwards. This guy looks Italian btw
You answered a question I have pondered. I have had days where I don’t eliminate waste and some days where the waste is more like diarrhea. It is rare when I feel I have a healthy elimination. Now I know thanks to you that this is an indicator of if I am getting enough or too much fat. That should help.
Did you hear what they put in the Omnibus bill? All cattle will be tagged! Our farmers are in trouble 💔
I heard about this also. People need to be non compliant. We need to support our ranchers so they can do that.
No farmers=no food
No politicians=more peace, greater prosperity, better health and increased freedom
We have been conditioned to think that only politicians can solve our problems. Maybe at some point we'll wake up and recognise that it is our belief in politicians and authority which is the problem.
I now buy most of my meat from a company here in The Netherlands (Eerlijketen) that works directly with local farmers.
HI.. MAGGIE HERE.. I am aware that some factions want to regulate the beef industry in the States by demanding RFID tracking tags in every animal . Sad about that. The CFIA in Canada brought in an RFID tag regulation so that an animal cannot be sold alive without a tag or leave their place of birth .. It is another way of regulating our lives, costing money and causing more labour and problems for our ranches . Tag retention is a HUGE issue and these tags are over $3 each . Site infections and torn ears on baby calves is a problem . They say consumers want this type of identification .. BUNK !! NOT TRUE . and they say they can trace disease faster and more efficiently .. NOT TRUE .. the animals in an area where disease shows up, ARE THERE ALREADY .. Where the disease came from ..such as bird flu ..BIRDS BRING IT .. BSE?? BUNK AGAIN!! Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is NOT a TSE .. and certainly NOT a zoonotic disease , proven by Dr Mark Purdy in the UK and the USA federal research done with cattle and roe deer in a1990s study in the mid west . BSE is a disease manifested by a lack of copper available to the mammalian brain causing convoluted and warped proteins in the brain .this is the same for humans in the rare case of C. Jacob's Disease .
Any mammal can suffer from a SE but it is not TRANSMISSABLE. THANKS FOR READING THIS TO THE END . IT IS VERY SAD WHEN THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS ARE AVAILABLE BUT ARE SUPPRESSED BECAUSE GOVERNMENTS HAVE JUMPED ON A BANDWAGON AND STARTED DEMANDING THAT PEOPLE AND ANIMALS BE UNDER STRICT REGULATIONS AND RULES AND LOCKDOWNS. AND THEY DONT WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE . (SAME AS THEIR REACTION TO COVID 19 .) COUNTLESS ANIMALS WERE EUTHANIZED WITHOUT PROPER INVESTIGATION OR REASON AND WE ARE STILL SUFFERING IN THE CATTLE INDUSTRY FROM THIS CRIMINAL REACTION IN CANADA AND GREAT BRITAIN . Thanks to Dr Chaffee AGAIN FOR BRINGING THE TRUTH ABOUT the Carnivore Diet to the people who desperately need it .
Heard that as well America. Don’t want there mRNA cows. They’re trying to play god. Nothing good happens messing with Mother Nature.
The point of the tagging is to have the ability to trace animal disease back to its point of origin. Do you not want to be sure the meat you are eating is not diseased? By the way, Australia already does this.
9:04 gout info
OMG, that is probably what I had in the hospital. I was in for pneumonia and upon release to rehab, I had pseudo gout for the whole month of March. Allopurinol and colchicine did not reduce it fast enough. I had gout in both feet, one knee and one elbow and sometimes one wrist. It was the worst attack in my life. I think it was the oxalate dumping Dr Chaffee was talking about.
1:00:40 Additionally on carnivore, I only eat when I want. I do not feel hunger. I now know the hunger I was feeling was really carb withdrawal.
LMAO, I had a lucid dream once. I was batman that could fly and I was fighting dinosaurs
Dr Chaffee I can sense your sincerity. I started the carnivore diet on March 11. I am 73 and was 297 lbs then I started. I have not cheated but probably over did cheese in the beginning. Not crazy but about 24 oz in the first month mostly I am eating bacon, eggs, steak, ground beef, pork chops, chicken legs and thighs, fish once a week and sausages. I only drink water but have a cup of coffee once a week or tea. No sugar or carbs. I had a blood draw on 4/19. I was excited to see the results after being on the diet for over a month. I saw my doctor on 4/30 and had 110 for my blood sugar and 205 for cholesterol. Those reading were higher than my last draw one year earlier. My weight was 281. I hoped it would be lower. I told my Dr that I has started the carnivore diet and he thought the red might be the reason my cholesterol was elevated. He had me scheduled to see a dietitian and is going to have some test done to see if I have a fatty liver. So am I one of those that needs a different diet or I don’t know what?
I'm new here but the more I learn about cholesterol, I'm not as worried about the numbers they use as a guideline. But, I'm curious what he says. Whatever you do, I highly caution you to stay away from statins.
You probably have to ignore your cholesterol numbers. They weren’t crazy. See if you can find a carnivore friendly doctor. Your weight needs to be addressed and you’ve only really just started. Don’t worry. Keep going.

Can i use grass fed butter to add fat to meals if i can't afford the fattiest cuts?
Yes, that's what I do and Dr. Berry said it's fine. Been on Carnivore 2 yrs. God bless.
Yes. I add butter to both my meals but what I love is fat trimmings. I could just live on fat trimmings 🤣
If you can find raw grass fed butter, even better. The taste is amazing.
Also, the fattiest cuts of meat are cheaper than the lean ones where I live, go figure 🤑 search for chuck eye cuts of steaks, they have almost 1:1 protein to fat.
My butcher shop sells a pint of pure white beef fat for $5.99. I add it to my leaner meat.
I was told I was fat intolerant as a baby. I love lamb fat and butter now - but I keep trimming my beef steaks

My son is 8 yrs and is about to start tackling for rugby.
Do you recommend the helmets/hats they have available or is it better not to have one?.
Have read conflicting things.
Would love your opinion please?
Today is 70 days carnivore. A few days ago diagnosed with CMML. I'm 78. Can this carnivore plan help decrease this blood camcer?
They way I had understood is when you eat meat and carbs, different digestive juices are released to break each down that cancel each other out, causing the food to sit much longer purifying until the body can break them down much longer. Please clarify. If we are eating carnivore you are eliminating the cancelation of digestive secretions
Yes!! There is a yt vid of an interview with a young man who has a stoma at the ilium. It has a plastic window where he can see the contents leaving the stomach. When he ate just meat, only fluid left the stomach. Then he ate just veggies, and as the bulky contents left the stomach he could identify every veg still !
And then as it finally left the body it had not much changed. If someone has seen this video coukd they mention who created this video?
Thank you Doc. I hope to continue my carnivore journey. I am still find it hard to eat a lot of butter and animal fat. Some nights I feel awful due to not eating enough fat😢
Grass fed butter tastes amazingly better than regular butter! Try that! It tastes like desert to me!
I had my gallbladder removed how dose my body absorb fat?
Do i need to add extra fat. I do drink bulletproof coffee.
The cat story was funny. I went through the same thing. I got a dog from the shelter and he needed a name. He was a puppy still. Every name I suggested my kids hated. So we kept saying, “come here little dude. “. He began responding to that and so his name is Dude.
My daughter got another shelter dog and named him Bro. Then it turned into Brochacho after joking when someone asked if that was short for something. Well that stuck so when he’s in trouble it’s Brochacho, and when he’s being good, it’s Bro. Luckily he’s usually a good boy.
I started Carnivore 3 weeks ago for IBS, I usually have diarrhea after my first meal. I figure it will take time to heal, I have no gall bladder so right now I can’t eat much excess fat or it the diarrhea is really bad! Steak eggs cooked in olive oil no butter, should I take ox bile? I have had the IBS for about 4 years!
I don't get the eat till it stops tasting good, does that happen?
I bought a 2/½ pound tri tip roast and ended up eating the whole thing. my stomach was about to pop but it still tasted good.
How does someone eat 2g of fat per 1g of protein? Ribeye steak isn't even 1 to 1. What's the secret?
so many buy or get fat from butcher but HOW they EAT gobs of fat, I just know it doesn't take great to me! I
I put butter on it. But know what you are saying, wondered that too.
Secret?..... Bacon!!!!!
Yes I agree that our bodies need good animal fat for a myriad of reasons and I'm moving into a carnivore diet myself,
but....
Please tell people that they should slowly transition into eating more fatty meat gradually and introducing small amounts of fat in the beginning, because NOT all of us can handle the larger amounts of fat.
Some of us get gallbladder-liver issues and it's not fun at all !
A few days after starting carnivore I got severe pain in my upper right back, shoulder-neck area and it's referred pain from gallbladder which radiates through phrenic nerve.
I still have this debilitating pain for the past 10 days.
I've written about it in the comment section of all the carnivore diet youtube channels and NOT one of the experts has responded and no one addressed this issue in a video except Stephanie Keto and Dr Berg.
I wish more carnivore channels would speak about this problem.
Greetings from Italy
💖🍀
I got the exact same issues as you got. I should add that they recently did an ultrasound on me. A gallstone moved up into the cystic duct after going carnivore and before long I had a gallbladder attack and pain in the liver. I'm soon meeting a surgeon and in all likelihood will have to have my gallbladder removed as the stuck stone is over a cm in diameter. My bile wasn't getting used in a long time as I was eating little to no fat. Once I introduced fat wasn't long before I started having issues. I figure that the stone that was already formed in the gallbladder got pushed up when the bile started to empty from the GB pouch. No mention of this happening when people who might have GB stones switching suddenly from a vegetarian diet to carnivore. BTW I wasn't aware that there was a stone in the GB until the bile started getting used when I introduced fat. Despite my situation I'm still eating carnivore but having discomfort at the site of my GB. Perhaps I shouldn't be eating a carnivore diet right now.
Yes I think this issue should be addressed too😊
@@angelataylor2049
Yep, too bad not one of the carnivore channels speak about this condition and many people may begin suffering from this issue and not know what is going on.
@@Pitcher902
Thank you so much for sharing.
I will get mine checked as well as soon as possible.
Greetings from Italy and good luck 🍀
So transitioning slowly is the key, any other tips? Thanks in advance.
I would lile to ask If thos comon in Low carb Keto Carnivore diet?!
I'm male 43 yesr old, 3 months on keto and lost 27 kilos,and my libido is like super super high, never in my life was that high! Is that normal if anyone knows.
Thx
Btw, super video, very good question and amazing answers!
♥️ From France, you're the doc! I started 10 days + ago, but not really carnivore, still eat some vegetables (French beans coz I'm French 😋, green peas, very little fruit), lapsed a couple times, sushi, glass of wine, a beer or two, but I lost 4 kilos doing nothing but the normal, and most importantly my ibs is Goooooone, as soon as I had mostly meat, butter, eggs, cheese, and very little veggies, but zero bread. I'm so happy with the list bloated stomach, and I'm also happier, calmer. I'm so thankful God sent these videos to me.
Thank you for being the kind of doctor who doesn't run after pharma money, along with Dr Ken Berry, Dr Elizabeth Bright, Paul Mason, etc
The lost bloated stomach
2 years in started with strict keto now carnivore and still have gout. Dr Berry said cut out dairy except for butter and ghee. Gout is no fun at all. Plus on Keto for first year gout flare ups where every 15 to 16 days started to be longer and longer in between. Still an issue but better
Look up dr Perlmutter on high Uric acid treatment protocol
It includes Quercetin, Vit C , Luteolin, dha … might help
Something in your diet is causing inflammation. Do you season with packets? That's a lot of plant. Do you get me already seasoned at the market? Just a few things I myself needed to change. Try for a week or more of plain red meat (unseasoned), eggs (bacon and others can be procured), salt and water. Raw fresh from store.
It may take a while if you had a high plant or processed food diet before. That all has to be cleaned out of us and it can take quite some time. Your body is possibly ridding itself of stored plant toxins and chemicals for preservatives.
Good luck. Find what is causing inflammation from diet and consider an increase in pain while stored toxic substances are exiting the body. 🙏❤️
Great presentation Dr Chaffee, thank you. But how is one to reconcile between your view that you need to aim for up to 2 grams of fat for every gram of protein, and Coach Bronson's claim that you should lower your fat in order to loose weight?
Just think of it this way… protein becomes your carbs through gluconeogenesis, so in order to keep your fat as preferred energy then you need to make sure you consume at least 50 or preferably more (70) percent fat and keep in mind that fat doesn’t weigh as much so you’re probably eating less than you think.
🐈 our cat comes to her name, too. Cats are smart.❤
My Katie takes her time so you will think it was her idea, but she comes eventually. LOL
Chuck eye steak is our go to. Way cheaper than ribeye more fat and tastiness love it
How can I get on the super chat to get a question answered by Dr. Chaffee?
I've had fatty liver the last three years with a severe grade each time from a fibroscan. Every time I have a fibroscan, I also have an ultrasound done right before with results of mild or moderate. I've been following a carnivore diet the last few months to try and reverse this with finally being able to lose some weight. I had the ultrasound done at the beginning of this month with a normal liver, which I was so happy about. I had the fibroscan done last week with a severe status still with an increase in CAP. Why are the results so different? Is the ultrasound not a waste of time and money then? Could the animal fats cause a rise on the CAP? I feel so well on the carnivore diet compared to all of the other diets ive tried and it helps to manage my pain from hEDS.
My cat boys are vocal. They call me "momma"! They say "hello" and "love you". Probably just repeating what I say the most (and I lived with my Momma while they were young).
❤😺❤
Hi Doctor, and thank you! I'm a 70yo female living in NSW. Though I think I've lived a healthy lifestyle, eating properly, and at times lots of exercising. After 8 months on carnivore, I feel better and have lost 20k's. My recent blood test is showing a TSH, raised biilirubin/24, and kidney issue. After hearing the dangerous news about vegetables, i have stopped eating them, but most of my studies are saying that saturated fat and vegetables are lacking. Can you offer me any advice please?
Ohhhhhhh that was so sweet of Elle Marie ❤ Dr. Chaffee she's a keeper 😊
bur how much is enough fat? In a 1 kg ribeye that is 70% water, how much of it is fat and how much should you supplement with additional fat trimmings? What would constitute a 1:1 meat/fat ratio in that context ( of 1:1 is the right amount, just used as an example )
Dear Dr Chafee thank u for ur information. Question- my husband has PD. Dr advised best diet is veg. As he says the meds for PD don’t agree with protein. And my husband says eating meat doesn’t do well for his tummy- his insides burn. So he’s convinced that veg r best for him cos his tummy doesn’t burn. What’s ur suggestion to him Ps? What cud be causing his tummy to burn when eating meat only ?
How to get eating for example ribeye the protein/fat ratio to 1/2? I thought protein/fat ratio is 1/1. Are there alternatives to butter?
Ghee is better than regular butter!! Try beef tallow or bacon grease.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
@@anthonychaffeemd you deserve it!! I’m going to continue to give you thanks. It’s 10 days and my elbows don’t hurt , my thyroid is good too. My left kidney ache for a few days but it’s better today. Super easy to eat like this. I’m grateful for you. ♥️
Hi Dr Chaffer, This is my 3rd day on the Carnivore diet. Having been taught to stay clear of lard and animal fats, Im having to overcome some cognitive dissonance as it's winter here and the lard that remains on the dirty dishes reminds me that Ive just eaten all of that earlier. Any advice? Thanks
A month in on carnivore. Bowel movements about three times in a month… kind of scary but feel great overall.
You can get fat from eating fat if you also eat carbohydrates and activated the Randall cycle.
that's funny. my cat is named Little Guy. and I call him a dog too lol
Just as a note, if you get 1kg of beef mince which is 70% beef and 30% fat that is 300g of fat and 154g of protein. That is the 2g fat to 1g protein spoken about in the video. So if you get to a butcher you can order 30% fat beef mince and know you have the right proportions of fat and protein.
At 43:30 I'm not sure why you don't think chilblains are real. 🤔
I'm in my sixties and I was a nurse for many years from the age of 18 in the mid 1970s.
I have experienced chilblains myself many times in my younger years - they occur when the toes/feet get really cold, and then we warm them up too quickly like with a hot water bottle or in front of the fire 🔥 - it's painful! 😅
I nursed people who had them as well.
You may have another name for the physiological phenomenon, but it definitely exists.
Keep up the great work you do. Your wisdom is changing lives around the globe! 😍
Your approach is gentlemanly and refreshing.
I've recently changed to ketovore and my body is definitely thanking me for it.
Here in New Zealand I have a lot of lamb as well as beef and eggs. It's so good!
Are gallstones due to lack of fat in the diet, making the bile dry up into stones?
I’m on statin now. Is it harmful to continue on it? I just started adding a lot more animal fat to my diet, but haven’t gone on strict carnivore yet. My triglyceride has been extremely high for a quite a few years now.
Dear Dr Chaffee, I have been taking Colesevelam tablets for my Crohn's, which binds to the bile. Now I'm carnivore will this be working against me with the fat absorption? I would be grateful for advice on this.
Is coconut oil good fat or does it have oxalytes? What about olive oil?
I think buying lean meat then adding Organic ghee for cooking is a perfect choice...
When eating a Ribeye steak how much fat needs to be added to get 2/1 fat/protein. Thinking all the olive oil and butter from the pan steak was seared in?
Carnivore now 16 months!
We got a wild cat into our family and when we took him to the vet we had to spell it. Pssst.
I think there needs to be a new video on why carnivore. Keep it simple with the topics of:
1) Carnivore is not about eating protein, it is about a high fat, 0 carbs, elimination diet
2) You might not see any reduction in weight for weeks or months ... your body needs to heals, takes time to switch over to fat adaption, high leptins etc.
3) You want to eliminate toxins out of your food, e.g. seed oils can stay present in your body for more than 2 years ... YEARS! ... and tomatoes are nightshades etc.
4) Carbs compete for vitamin and mineral absorption, e.g. with carbs you need milligrams of Vitamin C, without carbs you only need trace amounts
Can you fry the steak with lots of butter?
i get beef from a family farm that is lean meat with the animals eating grass at an affordable price for me being on a fixed income. i need to increase my fat intake and am struggling to do so. i have been eating Irish grass-fed butter and hate it.
is there another method of increasing fat intake without eating butter? i have not been able to find extra fat from the butcher to be ground into the burger which is mostly what i eat.
any suggestions are welcome. thank you.
@@living2day617 yes it is carb-free and clean but i would need to drink it to get enough fat. i just found a local farm selling pork so i am going to get some and mix the fatty ground pork with my ground beef and see if that works. so blessed to find someone i know selling clean meat! thank you for the info and i am keeping it on my list of things to try.
Lol. out pets' named are Little Boy. kitten Boy, and Puppy.
Ha ha ! We had a gorgeous puppy and cudnt decide on a name and the name Puppy ended up his name
Where is that Australian cat?😂😂
I want to clarify my earlier point about sustainability when it comes to a carnivore diet. The quality of the meat you choose is crucial for your health. Many people overlook the importance of selecting organic, grass-fed, and grass-finished meat. These animals are raised on their natural diet, which means their meat is richer in essential nutrients and healthy fats that promote overall well-being. When people focus on a carnivore diet but don't prioritize organic, grass-fed, and grass-finished meat, they're missing the essence of what makes this approach truly beneficial.
Animals raised on a natural diet-eating grass and foraging as they would in nature-provide meat rich in essential nutrients, healthy fats, and anti-inflammatory properties. When we consume these animals, we're indirectly getting the nutrients from the plants they ate, which translates into a cleaner, healthier food source.
On the other hand, if people turn to cheaper meat from CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations), they're consuming meat that's often tainted with antibiotics, growth hormones, and a diet primarily based on grains or even soy. These animals aren't raised in humane or natural conditions, which not only affects their health but also degrades the quality of the meat we end up eating. This type of meat is often higher in unhealthy fats and lower in essential nutrients, which can lead to inflammation and other health issues over time.
Ingesting meat from CAFO animals means you're also ingesting all the toxins, antibiotics, and the lack of proper nutrients that come from their unnatural diet and living conditions. It can create more harm than good and undermines the very goal of following a carnivore diet-to achieve vibrant health. So, if we truly want to follow a healthy carnivore diet, prioritizing organic, grass-fed, and grass-finished meat is not just ideal-it's essential for long-term sustainability and well-being.
Should I be taking bile salts due to not having a gallbladder?
Since the body makes around 800 to 1,000 milliliters per day, how much maximum fat does that equal to for this bile to be able to process to be digested? (Since too much fat means if the bile can't process it, it will not be absorbed for most fat types)
Also, let's say a person has bile acid malabsorption so they eat an around 75% fat diet to be in ketosis, but their bile acid isn't being absorbed so the fat they consume isn't being absorbed so they get diarrhea for example, would it be correct that they should reduce their fat intake or the fat percentage or both (considering they're not drinking coffee or having any other non carnivore things causing the diarrhea and it's the Bile Acid Malabsorption to be the accepted reason for this result).
Also, does bile acid malabsorption eventually fade off if you continue on the carnivore diet on a high fat diet (enough to be in optimal ketosis values) or do you have to do something extra to treat the malabsorption. What is a possible treatment you can do, if possible, just with diet? Or would it have to be better through some kind of supplemental aid?
Or do you just accept you have BAM and then maybe treat it the way you would if you didn't have a gallbladder and change your meal sizes and times and frequencies?
Love that you call your cat "Little Boy" - my cat is called "Puss"
I’m just about to hit 90 days on the carnivore diet. I noticed that my poop is increasing in size and frequency. Last month I was pooping only a little every 2-3 days. Should I be worried of the lack of absorption of nutrients?
?????How does lack of gallbladder effect this other than GI s/s?????
Question: Allulose- any side effects to worry about? I didn’t give up coffee.
I once had a neighbour who called his dog Dog.
I had an aunt who named her chihuahua Kitty 😂
Sounds ruff
John Wayne did too
My neighbor's Italian greyhound was named "Dioggi" (d-O-g) 🇮🇹 😊
I LOVE THIS INFO !!✌️😁👍
Thanks
Thank you!
I just don’t like chewing on the fatty part of the meat. To me it is impossible to eat. Would it be enough to eat butter or do I need to add ground beef to get some fat?
Funny enough, I had the same aversion a year ago and at some point I ate a bite and didn’t notice and I was like. “This is so tasty!” My palate must have change. It was fat on a ribeye that woke me some.
