It’s weird that this is even an argument among academics. Human bodies are brilliant for our ability to adapt and thrive. Our amazing bodies (barring any unusual complications) can take energy, or protein or essential nutrients from anything we consume and serum levels do not accurately reflect what’s already in our cells and tissues. Veganism, carnivore, keto, paleo, caloric restriction, whatever other “diet” ALL have a dirty version that nobody feels good about, and a clean version where getting away from the micro doses of literal toxins in processed foods can heal the body. The focus on macros is missing the point in my opinion. Is it real food? Your body will use it.
That article is paid for those companies that want to keep you sick and on meds. It’s a shame how the fools in America can’t be sold in other countries. I’m sticking with the Dr’s like Dr. Tony and others that are telling us the truth and teaching us the correct way to eat 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nobody said anything when I was eating pizza, processed foods and sugary cereals. Now, as soon as I cut out the processed foods, sugar, and sead oils, all of a sudden, I'm gonna get a heart attack and destroy the planet. Geez!!
This is the truth right here. All these people telling you its bad eat all the processed garbage, are on statins, hctz, anti-depressants, metformin, and naproxen. Also, my one weakness is peppers and onions. I eat those with a meal maybe once every 2 weeks.
Harvard has become a joke as a multinational corporate/ government mouthpiece. Duke has taken its place as the premiere higher ed institution. Since 1998 they have done research on Keto and Carnivore and had a Keto clinic founded in 2006 run by Dr Eric Westman that includes carnivore. My husband and I have been eating a carnivore diet after eating keto for two years. I still had gut issues on Keto that have disappeared in Carnivore. In just in three weeks we have seen big changes including the lifting of brain fog and joint pain disappearing. And for the first time I feel full and have no cravings. My husband just had his numbers checked by his doc and they are terrific. Even his l elevated sugar is coming down. Interestingly enough he eats no white sugar or sweets BUT he ate a lot of different fruit everyday-bananas, blueberries, melon, pineapple and dates and apples. He is 6’ 2” 180lbs so you’d never think this would be a problem, but it was!
Saying that not eating carbohydrates increases your risk of diabetes shows a lack of professionalism. Harvard should be ashamed to have such a doctor on staff.
How does consuming class one and class two carsegonic foods exclusively help cancer ? How does not consuming the ultimate cancer fighter polyphonls not found in animal products help ?
@@julienfroidevaux1143 Well, that didn't take long for Julien the Fraud to come crawling out of the woodwork. You might want to learn how to spell first ("carsegonic"?) before any one takes you seriously.
Okay, as a carnivore for about 15 months, my health has never been better. Weight optimal for my 77 years of age. I feel like I'm aging backwards! CARNIVORE FOREVER!
Carnivore for almost 5 years. Lost over 150 lbs and blood work has never been better. At age 67 healthier than I was when I was in my 30s. Carnivore has been wonderful for me!
My son and I started carnivore over a year ago. Bad for our health? Let's break it down. My son: 16 years old, 305 lbs, 5'10" tall. He had excema, psoriasis, and acne. His self confidence was terrible. 13 months later, AS A CARNIVORE,: 175 lbs, acne GONE, Psoriasis GONE, acne GONE. His confidence is sky high. He smiles more, laughs more, and grades went from C/B to straight A's. Me, one year ago? 62 years old. 5'8" tall and 174 lbs. Bench press 100 lbs, shoulder press 40 lbs, dips machine 60 lbs, curls 40 lbs. Today? 150 lbs. Blood pressure down from good to excellent. Cholesterol DOWN without medication. Bench press multiple sets at 175lbs, shoulder press multiple reps at 100 lbs, dips machine multiple reps at 220 lbs curls multiple reps at 100 lbs. I can outrun most of the 30 year olds I play soccer with. I feel like I am 25 and not 63 years old. Tell me again how bad carnivore is for us??? Still waiting....
Most mornings we each eat 5 scrambled eggs fried in bacon grease or beef tallow with 2 beef patties (28 grams of protein in each 1/3 pound patty from Costtco). I drink 60 grams of whey protein (zero carb/zero sugar) at about 2 p.m. (Only because I am trying to build muscle). My son doesn't drink the protein. At about 7 p.m. we each eat a large steak either whole or chopped up and cooked with bacon. We eat large portions and this keeps us from being hungry. We drink zero carb electrolytes water a few times during the day. We are in the gym at least 5 days a week for an hour. To mix it up, we sometimes cook beef ribs (salt only to taste), crock pot cross rib roast cooked in water and salt, shreaded pork fried in bacon grease or shrimp fried in bacon fat or butter. We keep it simple! Two meals a day for each of us and I drink my whey protein for muscle growth. The trick is to eat and feel full. Dense meat keeps you satisfied and not hungry through the day. If we ever feel hungry, we cook up a beef patty and eat it like a cookie! We use an air fryer a lot and it has made cooking easy. We have NO intention of eating a standard diet again. The trade between feeling incredible and giving up the foods we loved and craved was an easy choice once we were about 5 months into this. We prefer to feel light, strong, and healthy. Most of our friends and family don't understand how we do it. 2 of my sisters in law (One a medical doctor and one a teacher) have joined us once they saw our results. Both of them are beyond happy with their transformations. The doctor even stopped smoking. The human body is amazing and it will adapt and repair itself once the bad influences are kicked out. I truly wish you the best. Keep it simple. Beef, pork, chicken, fish, seafood, eggs, butter, bacon, bacon fat, beef tallow, salt, and electrolytes water. My treat is a black coffee in the morning. My son's treat is one Coke Zero per day. Mix and match your meats and throw some eggs in sometimes. Eat cheap, fatty beef. We stick to cheap cuts for our budget. We each have our favorites. We started this to help my type 2 diabetic wife and my obese son. Sadly, my wife hasn't been able to do it. Sugar has her addicted. I am beyond proud of my son. You can do this!!!!
@@lukeairborne5552 carnivore is high protein so muscle building is excellent! it's also high in saturated fats which is the best for the cardiovascular system
@andyman8630 would you say having fruit on workout days may assist further? I already have 200 grams protein I just can't do this stuff forever it's to bland and I do pretty well on fruit so far I just want to lose the back fats or love handles and i fear carbs or sugar may keep me there as I have tried to lower calories or workout harder I already walk around 8 hours 5 days a week and strength train usually 2 to 3 times just providing context here have done keto for a good 6 months and it's weird because I lose the water and fat every except the worst possible location to which ruins my overall physique entirely. So I instead have tried making my upper body in general bigger to counteract this lame fat it's worked but still dissatisfied. (Thx for taking the time to read)
I don't want to add fuel to the fire mamabear...but doesn't that PISS YOU OFF? So many 'chronic' health conditions that make life downright miserable healed by eating a proper human diet and 'big food' and 'big pharma' keep promoting plant based. It's criminal I tell ya...
My over 25 years of chonic IBS & acid reflux went into full remission within 2 weeks of starting the carnivore diet(that was back in February 15th, 2022 & have never looked back)…..
Thank you Dr Hampton. 787 days carnivore, dropped 47lbs, no more psoriasis, acid reflux, snoring to the point of divorce, inflammation, Diverticulitis, IBS, farting like a gorilla, aches, joint pains, tired always, mood swings, sllep issues...65 feelin 25...never going back to my 80% plant based diet, never too old to learn! Naysayers, you do you, I'll do me, I'm the happiest I've been in decades, so you can't piss on my parade 😊
I was diagnosed with MS almost 10 yrs ago and was eating lots of fruits and tons of veggies with a small amount of meat. It wasn’t until I dropped the fruit and veggies and went carnivore that health returned. 😊 I thank God for beef and all the ranchers and good doctors on you tube
6 months Carnivore: PCOS symptoms significantly decreased Hashimoto's healing HBP gone Type 2 Diabetes gone joint pain gone brain fog gone multiple skin issues gone 20 lbs lost My doctors shake their heads and tell me to keep doing what I am doing.
@@ProfessionalReferences Probably days.For me the inflammation was coming away within the first week then everything fell in line and I also realised I wasn’t prone to falls which I was having regularly and that was when I knew I needed to do something drastic and it was carnivore. So so much better.
Because if they advocate what you're doing and it goes against the guidelines of the American Heart Association they run the risk of getting sued. It's a joke.
I once had the privilege of speaking with world renowned Stanford epidemiologist Dr Jay Battacharya. Yes, the Dr Battacharya who was a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration. I asked him what he thought of carbohydrate restricted diets. He said that was not a field he had expertise in, but (in his opinion) nutrition research was largely trash. He said no one should allow anyone else to talk them out of consuming a diet that makes them feel well. That's good enough for me. I have been animal based for 5 years and I am NEVER going back!
Animal based? So not carnivore. What do you eat? Are you lean? The issue with pure carnivore is long term it breaks the metabolism and lowers androgens. I was raving about it too but had to admit I was wrong and I consulted with many of the big names in the Carnivore movement, the likes of Paul Saladino, Georgia Ede, and many more. They had no answers.
@@Onlylovelystuff What does breaking the metabolism mean? Love Georgia Ede, but Paul Saladino isn't a big name in the "Carnivore movement", he eats fruit.
@@Onlylovelystuff I use the term animal-based only because I abhor the way the term "carnivore" tends to be abused by both sides of the debate. I consider myself and ALL human beings to be carnivorous entities. The only definition of the term "carnivore" that I espouse is the one used by biologists which is: 1) an entity which relies on the flesh of animals for the majority (75% or more is the accepted amount) of it's food, and/or 2) an entity which must consume some amount of animal flesh in order to sustain its life/health. By part 2 of the definition ALL human beings are born carnivore in that there are nutrients we require that are not available via plant foods in the absence of ultra-processed foods and/or synthesized micronutrients. Any human being surviving in a primitive environment would not live long past breast milk without animal sourced foods.
Keto since 2015 and carnivore since 2022. Just going from keto to carnivore here’s what happened: Lost 25 lbs that I couldn't lose on keto. Cured my chronic migraines Cured metabolic syndrome Reduced chronic knee pain by 80% Improved gum health Have a much higher tolerance against sunburns (I'm a redhead with freckles) Look younger at 51 than I did at 35
Sustainability, missing a meal no longer triggers voracious ravinousitis. Don't eat the Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, plus the three snack in between. Sometimes three meals, sometime 2 meals. Less pots, less dishes, less grocery shopping, less rotten vegetables in my fridge. The vegetable drawers are used for eggs and cheeses now.
Great video Dr. Hampton. ☺️ Carnivore has healed so much for me! I started off carnivore in hopes to reverse my fibrocystic breast masses that have built up over 6 years eating half a dry skinless chicken breast piece a day with half cup of broccoli and little bit of wheat noodles. We are told don’t eat very much meat- so the world is almost vegan just about. I would eat red canbbage too- cooked it and ate cabbage about 3 times a week. That was about it. So I was mainly chicken, broccoli, and little wheat noodles. So from age 40-46 I started getting all that “aging” health issue mess- and the fibrocystic breast “disease” started and kept building up! When I hit age 46 I was done with it! The fibrocystic masses were getting me scares- and I started getting huge painful breast cysts too! One was around 2” long and 1” wide! Docs would say, “we don’t know what causes fibrocystic breasts disease” and “fibrocystic breasts is now normal because everyone is getting it” and “fibrocystic breast could turn into cancer” and “there is nothing you can do for fibrocystic breasts” and “diet doesn’t cause fibrocystic breasts!” I was gaining weight too and by summer of 2022 I hit perimenopause at age 46 and got every symptom you could think of. My joints were hurting too, no sleep at night, dizzy at times, it was ridiculous! I know it had to be diet! Little did I know that all the other health issues I had all my life, in addition to this mess listed above, was all due to diet! I went searching online and found the truth of my fibrocystic problem! Found out cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and asparagus) are all cruciferous veggies that block natural iodine absorption found in foods! And if you become depleted in iodine it messes up your thyroid which controls all- even hormones! And all organs need iodine including breasts! They swell if you are deficient! And I read these cruciferous veggies can cause cancer due to lack of iodine in body since they block absorption! Bingo! We are all being told to eat cruciferous veggies, that they can prevent cancer, and to eat lots of it including broccoli!! But in fact they are causing cancer and I truly feel it is causing all the fibrocystic breast cases that have been escalating lately that we are seeing! When I post about this and ladies write back saying they too had fibrocystic breasts, I ask, “do you eat cruciferous veggies, especially broccoli” and they all have said, “YES!” I did more research and found carnivore! I Jumped right in! In 6-8 weeks I lost 45 pounds! My perimenopause reversed! In fact don’t even get PMS symptoms and my cycle is perfectly paced! And so much more reversed that I started writing it down! And yes, my fibrocystic breast masses shrank! I share my progress because I want people to see how carnivore can heal so much and most of these things are commonly healed for many, not just me! I want to help and this is how I do- by sharing. No I am not paid to do this, I just want to help people see and be aware of what carnivore can do! I do update this list as I have been on carnivore (more lion diet version) for 1 year and 9 months now. I feel this has helped so many decide if they should try carnivore. I always say go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry- my three most favorite doctors. They are truly amazing! I call them my carnivore doctors! ☺️ * No more perimenopause- completely reversed! *Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself! *No more night sweats *No more waking every 2 hours at night! *It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast! *No more life long eczema *No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea) *No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm *No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more brain fog *No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows *used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more! *Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight. *Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing! *Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well. *Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 47 and look like I am in early 30’s. *Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me. *No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach! *Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup! *no cravings unless they are for meat *no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago. *No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around. * no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller. *feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 90 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that. *Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights. * no more body odor! * I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much. *I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that. * I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things. *Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing! *no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing! * I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too! *Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before. *Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides! *I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone! *I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore. *My teeth look more white on carnivore. *My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome! *i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone. * at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months. *the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry! *little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance! *The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy! *My slightly receding gums behind my center bottom front teeth have rebuilt so gums all over are super healthy! I have flossed daily for years, but gums look even healthier! *my skin on my face isn’t as oily as it used to be. *My hair used to be super oily if not washed daily, but carnivore has regulated my hair so I can now go days without having to wash it- doesn’t get oily after one day like before! (Newest update added!) Want to mention if you start to get any allergy symptoms further into carnivore you may have histamine intolerance. Happened to me if I ate smoked meats daily for months straight. Went back to baking my meats and all the symptoms went away! Look into histamine intolerance when starting carnivore to make sure you know symptoms and not to eat smoked aged meats daily like I did if you get symptoms. Eat smoked meats less often. I do go outside daily for at least an hour a day during week and several hours on weekends if possible! I try to stay on consistent sleeping schedule of 6-8 hours of sleep and sleep like a bear!☺️ So there you go! ☺️ I hope this helps people on their journey to fins out what works for them! Carnivore is working for everyone that tries. Go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry! And go visit Kerry’s channel at Homesteadhow! We love him too! ☺️
75 years old, low carb for 12 years and almost exclusively meat for 3 years and now experience the best gut health of my life, optimal body composition, lots of energy, excellent sleep patterns, optimal mental/emotional health, no aches and pains, optimal metabolic function of all five markers. Prior experimentation with whole food plant based eating during my 30’s and 40;s over a period of almost 20 years resulted in many health and cognitive issues, such as chronic muscle/joint pain, brain fog, digestive problems such as gas, bloating and spending too much time in the toilet.
Carivore of 15 months now and never going back to a standard American diet. I am no longer diabetic, my blood pressure is normal, I was taking 7 medications I am off all of them. I get to sleep 7 to 8 hours a night which is something I've never been able to do. I no longer have acid reflux, I have so much energy I can't believe it even after a year on carnivore I am totally amazed about the little things. I'm down I think 60 lb now I'm not really counting now it's all in how I feel. I'm a pretty strict carnivore 90% beef and eggs, some fish, some chicken and lamb, butter, lard and sugar free bacon But mostly beef and eggs. It makes grocery shopping so easy and meal preparation is easy. Good luck all you new carivores
I don't think "woke" had anything to do with it. Their research was a joke when I was a kid in the 60's, when their lead researcher had a syndicated column in newspapers promoting eating more sugar, because sugar has calories, and Americans need calories.
@@kaakrepwhatever Exactly right. Never use slang adjectives like "woke" or "fascist" or "commies." Harvard personnel - both admins and professors - have already PROVED themselves nothing more than PAID PROMOTERS for the highest bidders in BOTH industry and government. Make this clear. We have an historical record over decades. It is COUNTERPRODUCTIVE to just sling around slang adjectives. I attended Harvard on scholarship. I am not guessing. "One liners online" are simply not useful at all. That is counterproductive. Ancel Keys was Harvard faculty and lied for the sugar and grain industries. He took money to lie to countless victimized Americans from his false "high perch" at Harvard. Ancel Keys was also a Pentagon contractor. That's not a coincidence. What we call "fastfood" and "TV dinners" today were military MRE's during WW2. None of this is "OK.' Americans must stop seeking "heroes" in DC, in industry, in universities, in mass media, in the Pentagon or anywhere else. Those "heroes" do not exist. Americans must presume EVERYONE "on TV" and "in universities" is lying for money. All of them. No exceptions. When the Carnival Barkers are barking, we must always ONLY follow the money.
@@kaakrepwhatever It is woke when you realise that the word woke has been hijacked and now means the opposite to people who are actually woke. Like all of the bullshit social agendas that the schools push these days. Common sense is gone.
My health has never been better by quitting grains, fruits, vegetables, high fructose and cooking oil. This spring I stopped vegetables gardening because all the compost bags had suspected glyphosate residue in them. All my pepper plants crinkled and died. Now the garden plot is full of 10 foot tall sunflowers sprouting from the wild bird seeds. Right in June afternoon, I’m watching flocks of goldfinches nibbling away with chirpy happiness. Joining them are hundreds of bees and butterflies. Hmmm this ribeye is delicious with just sprinkle of salt. The Harvard people, they have no shame. It boils down to big money.
I love what you did with your garden! Thats what millions of acres could look like if we ditched the mono crops. Natural grass plains with well managed herds of cattle, goats, sheep, etc.
eliminating grains? good. fried foods? good; refined sugars? good. fruit/? not good. your brain and mental health will siuffer in ways that you may not see, but we can. and your physical health will follow. probably. good luck!
@@GraemeSmith-kd5eb would be cool to get rid of the corn and soybean fields that are for oil. And the corn that is used for useless ethanol. Give the farmers a new sustainable food source to grow.
I transitioned to keto at the beginning of the pandemic, Jan 2020, and slowly transitioned to carnivore over the last year. The reason for going carnivore is eliminating those last veggies and fruit finally got rid of and kept off 53 excess pounds, improved my sleep, and cleared my brain fog. Additionally, I am no longer thinking about food, obsessing about my next meal, nor feeling deprived. I haven't been "hangry" in 4 years. I think trying something like this for 30 days won't be harmful to anyone, but I'm not a doctor. Just a person whose health improved.
Not being "hangry" is absolutely amazing. Joint pain gone - also amazing. My mood and demeanor are just more pleasant. I've lost 18 lbs with about 10 more to go. I feel so satisfied.
@@adim00lah I noticed I stopped coughing when I went carnivore. I was coughing after eating any vegetable or fruit. I also noticed how much simpler it was to prepare a meal. I'm no longer faced with a myriad of choices and what to do with my soon-to-be-rotten vegetables. Instead, I get to focus on making carnivore foods different or exciting which often means a lot of time and steps. The beauty of carnivore for me is that if I just want to eat, it's quick to make a simple meal and I don't have to go through a lot of steps. I save that when I have the energy and desire.
I am 50 years old, 150 days ago I was 295 lbs. now on carnivore. Obviously this is just anecdotal, but after eating a standard American diet and feeling like complete garbage, I've tried eating the "healthy" diet over the years with some gains in weight loss but little to no improvement in the way i feel. I tried Keto and did feel better and weight loss increased. But it was hard to maintain and easy to fall into the trap of fake "keto friendly" foods which was just more processed garbage. After starting carnivore 150 days ago, the change has been so profound and impactful both physically and mentally that I have no interest in going back. I haven't felt this good since my mid to late 20s. My quality of life has improved exponentially and keeps getting better. In my experience your body pretty quickly tells you when something is wrong, and right now it is telling me to keep doing what I am doing.
77 yr. old F, 5’4” 140 lbs. carnivore 16 months. Besides 50+ lbs weight loss, no meds, mental clarity, energy, gerd gone, a1c 4.8, blood pressure 110/70. Common sense says Im on the right track….
I have been carnivore for about 6 months. My family tells me I am easier to be around, because of all the gas I had. It was awful, I would have gas “at least” every five minutes. That is no exaggeration or way to live. Now, if I have gas, it is because of garlic or some dairy I added to my food. I do not do that very often, my life is much more livable now and I feel great. I have lost 30lbs and have more energy. Thank you Dr. Hampton for your videos.❤️
Thank you, Dr. Hampton! I have been on the carnivore diet for almost two years. I SUFFERED with acid reflux that was supposedly the result of my hiatal hernia. I couldn't even drink water without pain, and when I woke up in the morning, I felt like I was drowning in stomach acid. I felt absolutely miserable. When I went to the gastroenterologist, he said that I could only take the prescribed PPI Pantoprazole for a maximum of three weeks. This made me desperate to find help. I searched UA-cam and came across a video from Dr. Berry. I tried "Keto" for a week. Actually, it wasn't true Keto. I ate broccoli, spinach, red bell peppers, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and one other vegetable, but I can't recall what it was now. I also ate chicken breast and eggs (all cooked in cold-pressed sunflower oil). NO IMPROVEMENT. But, Dr. Berry had mentioned the word "carnivore" so I looked into that. After watching more of his videos, I decided to try this crazy Carnivore thing, and after 3 days, my acid reflux was gone without having to take a PPI! Back pain and tendon pain was also gone! By day 4, my blood pressure, which had been out of control even after taking 2 Amlodipine a day was 108/63 without having taken medication for 24 hours because of a blood draw I was scheduled for that morning! I have experienced over 40 improvements to my health since starting carnivore. I will NEVER go back to the standard, high carb diet that everyone likes to call "balanced". I would rather trust you, the San, the Lakota, the Sami, the Inuit, the Hadzabe, the Maasai, and all the other carnivore/meat-based people groups, than the fools who see that intestinal issues, cancers, Type II diabetes, mental health issues, dementia, obesity, auto-immune issues, heart attacks and strokes are all on the rise, right along with fiber intake, while red meat and saturated fat intake is, and has been, on the decline, so saturated fat and cholesterol are evidently not causing these problems. Let the "experts" at Harvard keep spouting nonsense. Thank you for your informative and concise video. It's these short videos that will win the ear of those who are searching. It was because of Dr. Berry's short videos that I found out about the Carnivore diet, and for that, I will be forever grateful. So, please keep making short videos for the ones who may be searching for some relief. They are needed.
@dmt3412 you're actually lucky that your G.E. said you could only take PPIs for three weeks. I suffered from heartburn as well, and my GE wrote me a prescription for PPI's. When I asked him how long I'd have to take them for, he said "probably the rest of your life" and then proceeded to recommend a plant based diet. I didn't get the prescription filled, and I stayed carnivore. The FDA will only recommend PPI's for up to 6 weeks, and does NOT recommend long-term use of PPI's, citing risk of serious long-term side effects.
I've been low carb for 15 years and carnivore for over two years. I cured my asthma, chest infections, stablised my weight and greatly improved my arthritis. At 60, I am lean, muscular and very active, still competing at a high level in sailing competition. If the carnivore diet were dangerous long term why am I not sick and fat and on metformin and statins like so many my age? Also my hair is still its original colour and no grey in my pubic or underarm hair either.
I was whole-food/plant based for 4 years and transitioned to full carnivore on May 1st. My bloating, gas, IBS gone. Anxiety gone. PMS gone. TMJ healed/jaw pain and clicking gone. Energy is next level and this is all in less than 2 months! It’s real ya’ll - I don’t care what fancy Harvard says! Liberation through food is beautiful.
80% of the people with ibs have sibo. It's that infection in your gut that is the problem, eating a plant based nor carnivore diet will fix the problem. Avoiding foods that trigger the bacteria is all you are doing. The minute you eat a plant again, it will come right back because the underlying infection is still there. It's not easy to meet all your nutritional needs on this diet like getting enough magnesium, vitamin c, folate etc....
Awesome video! Im mainly carnivore. Lost 15 ilbs, saw a reversal of hypoglycemia, have incredible energy and stamina, looking much healthier and younger, very clear thinking, and I'm 58. Glory to God 🙌🏽
I practiced medicine for 40 + years. And I preached the same things I was told to patients. I was wrong, I have switched to carnivore diet. I just started it 1 month ago, physiologically it is logical. I have lost 21 lbs in the last month, I am going to the gym, and my low back arthritis is probably 50% improved. The medical/ Pharma/Indusry lied to us, and continue to lie. We, as providers need to begin to question, and confront these massive inconsistencies that are being taught still in medical school, and proffered to patients. Thanks Dr. Hampton, keep up the good work!
Yes. Good on you for seeing what many of us didn’t for too long. I am pretty disappointed when I see the rubbish that goes in to people’s trollies at the supermarket.
Heavy-duty meds three times a day for fibromyalgia. Three weeks on carnivore, fibromyalgia is *poof* gone. Ditto GERD and HTN. It’s been two years on carnivore and I’m down 105#. ONE HUNDRED FIVE POUNDS!!! You won’t ever convince me that I need to go vegetarian. Ever. Thank you Dr. Tony
@@vanessamay3689 I hold out hope that the sane folks will win this culture war but my hope is dwindling. As long as everyone is fat and has their dope and porn, we will continue down this path.....
I have been eating ketogenic and carnivore for about 18 months and I have lost 100 pounds. My blood pressure has gone down and my arthritis has subsided. I’m with you ❤.
Just shy of 60 days full carnivore and I'm feeling fantastic! Zero cravings for sugar,carbs and pop. Done with the garbage I've eaten all these years. 14 lbs down but most importantly eating for necessity and not for habits. Big difference.
10mo into carnivore/lion and dropped 80lbs without exercise (though now I exercise a little because I have so much energy). Joint pain, inflammation, snoring all gone. I don't burn in the sun, I don't have trouble sleeping, I have consistent energy all day long, mood has vastly improved as well. I do not calorie restrict, I eat anytime I'm hungry and chow down on 2-3lbs of steak with salt per meal regularly. Thank you doc for posting your videos and references 👍
I just did a quick search on the professor and found that he had a number of conflicts of interest. He was leaning vegetarian in 1990/1991 and has now become more plant based. He has published thousands of papers, however many were from grants given by companies trying to promote plant based theories. It just shows you the influence I individual can have!
@@DrTonyHamptonDo you reject meat inc funded studies without evidence as well ? Or just the plant based ones ? No carnivore influencer seen to scream conflicts of interests when it comes to meat inc funded research . Why is that ?
I’m 76, 14 months into carnivore, free of joint pain, bloodwork now normal, no health issues, regained walking ability and lost 103 pounds. Thankful for all the help and support from the low carbohydrate and carnivore doctors and researchers who kept me steady and got me here, including you, Dr. Hampton.
Good morning Dr Hampton. This is yet another great video debunking the diatribe coming from the haters. I noticed how the words used by the study's author are very wishy-washy, never really saying anything definitive. The "arguments" provided reminded me of my days of debating public policy in the state legislature. A whole bunch of would, could, and maybe words. Thank you for lending your credentials to the fight against misinformation by those who would either profit financially, or by doctrine, with continuing to spew such studies.
55yo - was a yo-yo dieter all my life until I went carni just over a year ago. Best thing I’ve ever done. 80lbs down and kept it all off, without trying.
My gut was messed up BEFORE going carnivore and carnivore fixed it. And I do mean messed up. I was suffering for a good decade. Doctors were no help. Carnivore was the last thing left for me to try, and the results were nothing short of miraculous. Going on three years carnivore and not looking back.
Carnivore for over a year and a half here, my IBS disappeared in the first week or two, my energy and focus skyrocketed, I lost around 15kg and kept it off, and my dandruff also went away. As for my wife, her migraines since childhood vanished. Carnivore heals.
Thanks, Dr Hampton. 63 year old RN from South Arica, 11 months of doing the carnivore diet. I will never go back to the Standard Western Diet again. The benefits are off the 8:43 charts and the thousands of stories of peoples lives that are being radically changed by this WOE reinforces my belief that this is a miraculous way to feed our bodies the fuel they were designed to consume. Carnivore for Life. 8:43
I’m 64 with lupus and severe osteoporosis. I broke my femur and my leg is healing very quickly and bone density is happening as I write this. The rest of my life is carnivore.
28 years old have been doing carnivore diet for a couple months and I feel like I have the energy of a child and my mental health is stronger than ever. My joint pain is gone, ibs is gone and my visions improving. And still more benefits to come I believe, we will see.
I agree with everything you've shared. Since going carnivore my A1C is going down, I've dropped over 50 lbs, the pain I was having in my joints is gone, my energy is wayyy up!, depression, insomnia, fatigue, all gone and mental clarity has greatly improved! I'm not ever going back to recommended standard diet, that way of eating was killing me slowly.. literally. I've gone through too much with my health to even try and write it all down. Tried being vegetarian and vegan for a few years and all it did was mess up my colon and I gained over 60 pounds! I never had enough energy and always got sick even though I was strict on what I was eating and it seemed like I was having to eat all the time because I would only be full for a couple of hours at a time. I only wish I would have known about carnivore 25 years ago and I wouldn't have had to deal with illnesses, hospitalizations and several operations. But better late than never! Carnivore is def the way to go.
Went carnivore in mid March 2024. 3months later: Lost 32 lbs, stopped need for CPAP (no snoring), stopped taking Metformin one month in, A1c is 6.1 from 10.5, triglycerides 1104 down to 92, cholesterol 228 from 311. I am staying on the carnivore way of living.
Well said Dr. Tony. This message needs to be out there more widely. Why are Harvard presumably intelligent people still publishing nonsense? Protein and fat are the 2 essential macros, not sugar.
One year mostly carnivore. Joint pain gone, working out again, all my gut issues are gone. Turns out fiber and all those vegetables caused my gut issues. If you have weight issues, autoimmune issues, skin, energy, hormone problems, try it for 90 days. My triglycerides dropped from 90 to 45. HDL jumped to 88. These are great metrics. A1C improved. CRP almost zero. I wish I switched to animal based years ago.
Carnivore 9.5 months and have had so many improvements in my health -increased energy and strength, clearer mind, calmer disposition, elimination of pain throughout my body, sharper vision, weight loss and body recomposition, and much more. I was on a plant based diet for nearly two decades prior and suffered a lot. I used to have to give myself B12 shots on a regular basis. Now, my bloodwork is great and my cholesterol levels are a healthy range as well.
I’m about 13 months in and went from morbidly obese and disabled due to Pulmanary Sarcoidosis to 90lbs down , no more inhalers with restored breathing function. Drop in A1C , blood pressure and fasting insulin .
Wow, good to hear!! My hubby also had Pulmonary Sarcoidosis but passed away 5 years ago. I wish we would have known about the carnivore way of eating when he was alive, he was only 60. 😔 It's weird but whenever we told anyone about his Sarcoidosis, they would say, what is that?
I have been carnivore for a little over 2 years and have been a diabetic for over 35 years insulin dependent and now I only take a small amount of slow acting insulin with Victoza and every week my body is healing / my fasting blood sugar are in the 4’s and 5’’s . Carnivore and Dr Berry saved my life . I’m now 59 years old but feel in my 30’s .keep up the good work Dr Hampton 🙏🏽🙏🏽
So good to hear your views. I’m a medical physician, and I gradually became so ill on plant based lifestyle, autoimmune disorders ( Hashimotos, Ank Spond, IBD) but massively improved on carnivore. Can’t believe how stupid I was to swallow the vegetarian rhetoric, and how healing the carnivore lifestyle is. And I wonder if that sad Harvard Professor lost integrity in service of keeping ongoing research funding. Carnivore is so good for me. I agree…..Regenerative farming, organic where possible, with highest humane and ethical animal husbandry, farming practices that respect the great gifts animals give to us, I agree.
For me the carnivore diet was a much better idea than the standard or plant based diet so what does that say about those options 🤣 No more of the following: obesity, prediabetes, loose teeth, bleeding gums, sensitive teeth cold sores, blocked sinuses, mouth breathing, left eye twitches (tetany) heartburn, calf cramps, yellow stool, blood in stool edema below the knees, painful feet when walking, sunburn is less shoulder, back and neck pain after waking, lower back pain and stiffness 5+ Years on the carnivore lifestyle now :) Eat Meat, Not Too Little, Mostly Fat
I should mention that my “pain doctor“ had me on multiple medication’s, and insisted that I get epidurals at least twice a year… Which didn’t seem like a good health trajectory to me- in addition to fixing my lower back it totally reversed my borderline type two diabetes, whereas .1% away from diabetes, but by then you’ve got significant insulin resistance. The last time I had my blood work done I had had six fasting insulin level and my A1c was down out of the danger zone and still improving. But the reversal of depression and anxiety and extraordinary levels of energy that I now have automatically… I wake up in the morning, spring out of bed and wake up early every day instead of lying around, dreading the fact that it’s morning, there were thousands of not tens of thousands of stories just like mine - - I am not an outlier or unique.
Been carnivore for 9 months, I’m off ALL medications, feel great, no brain fog and lost some weight. I don’t use a scale but my clothes fit loosely now where before they didn’t. Oh yea, I’m 64 year old male. Carnivore is not easy at first but it gets easier the longer you stick with it!!!
Thank you for this great video. Last year at this time, I was trying to do what I thought was the best for my health by eating less meat, and loading up on daily smoothies with almond milk, spinach, almond butter and oats and I couldn’t walk 1/8 of a mile to my library. I had to plan out my time if I needed to go to a store, or any activity, really, because I had limited steps; the pain in my joints, particularly my knees, was excruciating. Depression, poor sleep, and no energy were my daily norms. I don’t take any prescription medications but was considering it as the pain and fatigue was so awful, but as a last resort and out of desperation I tried the carnivore diet, because I thought “what do I have to lose?” Well what I have lost so far is 65 pounds, my joint pain and inflammation are almost non-existent, I have no more headaches, and LOTS of energy. I turned 60 this year and now enjoy hiking, swimming, kayaking, can zip to the library and back in just a few minutes, and never even think about how many steps I have in reserve. Why would I ever go back to the me of last year? Just by eating beef (which we purchase by the half cow from a farm 10 miles away), butter, eggs and heavy cream (from another local farm), as well as lots of seafood, I have a whole new lease on life! It’s better to ignore the naysayers who are either paid, ignorant, or too arrogant and proud to admit that eating an animal-based diet is optimal - some individuals even insist that eating a carnivore diet is “male aggressive and right-wing”!!! That last one leaves me speechless…but it shows the lengths to which the naysayers will go in order to push their agenda. There is no profit in good health, so an animal-based or carnivore diets will continue to be squashed by those who most benefit from the poor health of many in our society. Thank you again, Dr. Tony, for providing such informative content.
I just found your channel and subscribed, doc. Keto/IF has helped me lose over 110 lbs and cut meds in half. Sadly, I am still a metabolic trainwreck. I am getting educated and moving into the carnivore lifestyle. I look forward to learning from you.
Wonderful video! Thanks! In 4 months on keto (2 yrs ago) my prediabetes went away,. my AIC dropped to 5.2. I've lost a lot of weight in over 2 years on keto and then carnivore - late last year I was no longer obese. I was able to wear size 34 jeans, which I hadn't worn since high school (I'd needed size 44 waist 2 years ago). The other day, I tried on size 32 jeans - and they snapped and zipped up. They weren't cutting off my circulation, but they were a little too snug. I bet later this year I'll be able to wear them okay. I haven't worn size 32 jeans since 8th or 9th grade! I feel great. I have tons of energy. I sleep well. I love the carnivore diet. (I shared this video on Fbook)
Thank you Doctor. 57 y/o and I lost 30 lbs in 90 days. Never had better health. Harvard, and many other institutions, are not concerned for my health or EVIDENCE. THANKS to doctors like you promoting health.
I've been eating mostly a carnivore way of eating for 15 months. I've reversed pre diabetes, high blood pressure, severe sleep apnea, arthritis, and about 20 health issues. Thanks Doc. And I've lost more than 65 lbs.
Celiac, IBS, 80 yrs old. Switch to carnivore and have never looked back. No more symptoms of any kind and I am stronger than ever. Thank you so much for posting this. It's absurd what Harvard is claiming. 60 lb weight loss...
Been Ketovore for most of the last 2.5 years. Lost 180 pounds in the first year while being strict on carnivore diet, down from 380. I regained some weight after that so I sit around 220 pounds these days. I keep carbs under 10 grams a day and my fats make up 50-80% of my calories. I also try to do around 5-10 hours of cardio a week or around 150 cycle miles, though I'm always trying to push to higher goals. I did a 80 mile ride with an average heart rate of 145 last month, but I want to get to 100 miles. IBS, joint pains, head aches, low energy, bad sleep; gone. My AC1 is also now 4.5 when before i was nearly per-diabetic. 36 years old and plan to be doing bike marathons etc, like my grandfather did, into my 90's.
I agree with you dr Hampton, carnivore is a correct way of eating for us humans. I was vegetarian 5 years, vegan 1 year in the past then was trying to eat healthy (little meat, lots veg, grains) but my health was declining over the years. Now 50yoF, 13months on carnivore, I do not miss any veggies, or fruits. My reflux of 20 years is gone, my debilitating intestinal cramps of 40 years are gone, no body odour, clear thinking, memory back, pcs gone, joints much more stable (been hypermobile), I am in excellent mood every day. Menopausal symptoms are all gone. They will come back immediately if I eat dairy. I love my life.
On day 80, had crippling anxiety ocd agoraphobia and depression for 20 yrs. Tried all doc treatments. Nothing has made me feel as good as carnivore. Lost 4.5 inches of belly fat in 3 months. Feel positive hopeful, full of possibilities. Meds help you cope, survive. Carnivore makes me feel like I will live again. I'm not fully there yet but I'm getting there.
Crippling anxiety, brain fog/ dementia feeling, and severe agoraphobia, poor sleep, fatigue here, amongst a others if other symptoms. Day ?34, fingers crossed
@@Waves353 hey, I changed my name and pic, don't know if you realised 🙂 how are you doing? I went for a walk with my dogs and it was so much easier. So less stressful. I'm on day 81 today. I reintroduced sauerkraut and kimchi 5 days ago. Feeling good
Been on Carnivore for 13 months now. I'm a male (57 yrs old) who suffered with Interstitial Cystitis of the bladder for four years. Went to four urologist only to be given medications and some limited bladder procedures. I turned to carnivore as an elimination diet to see if it was food related, although doctors were sure that it wasn't. I showed improvement within six weeks and am now 95% better. I also lost 25 lbs and am now down to the weight I was at in 7th Grade (yes...I was a fat child). Inflammation in my body has left and my joints don't hurt any longer. I'm more optimistic and now look forward to my next twenty years.
Just got my bloodwork back after changing my eating habits. Mostly carnivore. Lost 40 lbs in 4 months. Cholesterol way way down (it was okay, now it's great) and I'm no longer prediabetic. In my doc's words: Keep up the great work.
I had asthma, for 20 years along with ibs, hemmroids, chronic sinus infections, fibromyalga, staff infections and eczema. All went away after 3 months on a heavy meat diet. That was 13 years ago and still doing great.
So true!! A plant based diet gave me the worst gut health of my life and I was so sick and filled with inflammation! Full carnivore doesn’t work for me but being somewhere in between keto and ketovore seems to be a good balance. I am very much interested to see where my inflammation levels are now that I’ve stopped being plant based because before switching my diet, my c reactive protein was off the charts!
Keep up the good fight Dr Tony. John from Brisbane.Paleo for 7 years and carnivore now since Oct 2023. Have always been fit and healthy and cycle 2-400 km a week. Decided to go carnivore to hopefully future proof myself from dementia/alzheimers/Parkinson’s etc.. I’m 65 by the way.
Due to reasons I was away from being able to eat my usual carnivore/animal based diet. In 3 weeks I have gained 20lbs, have severe gut pain, bathroom issues, sore throat, whole body rash, raised blood pressure, a migraine and now in a "type two diabetic " state, as my blood sugar is over 120. The "Standard American Diet" has done nothing but make me sick again.
@DrTonyHampton I posted a comment. It wasn't bad. I just agreed with someone. I told my to read the other persons comment. She did, but my comment wasn't there. Probably a YT glitch. Sorry to accuse you.
5 year carnivore- male 43, reversed type 2 diabetes in 8 months along with hypertension, dropped the 5 meds I was on in the first year. I lost 245 lbs ( I started at 400 ) I’m currently 155 lbs at 6ft tall with 9-10% body fat. They say anecdotal evidence is worthless in a good argument, fair enough. But when you have 1000 people saying the same thing anecdotally, it’s not anecdotal evidence anymore it’s a hypothesis at the very least.
You have no idea the huge amounts of water that is wasted to produce them. A real shame that the driest places are robbed of their precious water to grow these poisonous nuts.
And it hurts Europe too. In Spain we have our own almonds that grow with less water that sustain a tremendous "turrón" (traditional Christmas candy) industry. Imported, cheaper lower quality almonds hurts the whole industry with the loss of jobs and people leaving farms and small towns for lack of jobs. Not blaming, it's all on the heads of our politicians that allow this but just know there ain't anything good about it except some big bucks going into big pockets.😒
Three weeks in, I'm down 6 pounds, stomach has reduced. Skin is starting to glow, and texture is improving. I don’t feel bloated, and looking more tone without exercising. This also functions as an elimination diet so anything off will be quite apparent. I'm doing it about 85% and trying to ensure any veggies are low oxalate. Hoping to improve sleep (castor oil pack on the liver at night has help as the detoxing may be what’s keeping me up.) Also hopeful for my energy to improve as well. So far, I am impressed.
I'm beef, butter, bacon, eggs, plus cherries and blueberries and probably way too much Planters nuts. One or two 34 oz. jars per week. One health problem: glaucoma. No idea if high fat will help or harm. Thanks for making this video.
A physician asked how I lost 28 pounds. After I said, carnivore she said, be careful because although initially your body will burn fat stores to lose weight, the intake of animal fats and proteins will cause higher LDL levels which in turn clog up your arteries giving a higher risk of cardiac issues. 😭 I have had three SCAD heart attacks in the past. First one when I was 38, then 40 and my last one at 50. I’m a 59 yo female. I always considered myself fit and healthy. SCAD is relatively unknown. My previous diet, I believed healthy, using rapeseed oil, plenty of veggies and limiting red meat and cooking from scratch. I really don’t know if there is a connection between SCAD and diet BUT since being carnivore I have never FELT better. No reflux, healed IBS, no toenail fungus or cracked heals (sorry 🤮) etc. Having my bloods done soon. I may get lectured about LDL levels and if I do, I may just have to smile and wave 👋
Been carnivore for about a year. Went from 270 lbs to 211 as of this morning. All health measures have improved dramatically. My lab work at recent doctors visit were stellar. At my last primary care visit doc said I needed to lose weight…… that wasn’t mentioned at this visit. My pre diabetes is gone. Harvard was once a place of learning and dependable information. That institution was bought and sold by big pharma and big food a long time ago.
I have been on and off carnivore for 10 years. Healed pre-diabetes, gastritis, psoriasis, anxiety, joint pain, IBS, bladder sensitivity, varicose veins etc etc etc.
However, I am extremely glad that he has information and education and functional medicine and nutrition most people that have medical degrees don’t go above and beyond to get those extra certifications and functional medicine is where we need to be focusing and on proactive health care not go when you have a problem
My stomach has never felt better then on the carnivore diet. I wanted to do an experiment and try some olives and a pickle "healthy vegetables" a few nights ago. Ouch no thanks gas, bloating, and a burning #2. Back to strict carnivore from me!
Just subscribed. Awesome work sir. I’m in Ireland. I’m 52, was reasonably fit and training 5 strong days each week. I have a background in sports and nutrition and I believed that I was eating a pretty balanced diet without too much extremism in either direction. I won’t list all of the issues my body was having, but from old injuries, skin condition, digestive issues…there were quite a few. Be the way I was also weighing in at 87/88kgs with what I thought or felt was a low bf %. Ok. So I have been carnivore now for 4.5 months I initially dropped to 82/3kg as all of the fat dropped off my body. Now I am lean, and am slowly but certainly adding more muscle. My joint issues are gone. My stomach issues are gone. ( sometimes I have coffee and that affects stools but otherwise everything works so well) My energy levels are insane, and never spikes or dips. I sleep much much better -having previously had problems with insomnia. Brain fog gone. My commitment to carnivore has only produced positive benefits to my mental and physical wellbeing and I am so grateful for all of the good people educating and promoting this as the healthiest way of life. I do not miss any carbs, although I used to love them for texture and tastes, my body now doesn’t register any desire, physiologically or nostalgically, and for certain I will never go back to eating how I previously ate. I have no nutritional deficiencies, and when I get my bloods checked again in another couple of months I expect a continued improvement in all. A Life changing, life extending, life giving change. Yes regenerative farming is a must. Carnivore is king.
The sadness I feel when I recall Governments across the world, Federal or State, massively reducing public University funding, threatening the continuity of many Academics’ research teams, seeing how they would disappear unless research funding could be persuaded from outside the Uni funding structures. Those research teams were essentially driven to find funding any way they could - from big pharma, the processed food industry, sugar and corn, grain, any businesses or organisations that had the financial ability to fund the research outcomes the outside organisations wanted to see..Loss of integrity, loss of independence, compromising values and ethics - all in the service of keeping research teams afloat… such a hard path…
Been strict carnivore since Jan 1 2024, I had no notable metabolic issues to speak of, but I can say without hesitation…I feel as good as I ever have! I’m 58 years old, I’m at my high school weight 195! I’m sleeping as good or better than ever in my life! I’m intermittent fasting 18/6 and a few days a week I eat OMAD! It’s MAINLY the Woke left that are giving push back on carnivore! “THEY”, whoever they are, want us unhealthy , sick and RX dependent!! Makes me very angry when I see what the truth is😡 No Sugar, animal based, carnivore, whatever you want call it is a superior level of nutrition…PERIOD ! The lies we’ve been told about cholesterol and saturated fat 😮 When’s the last time you saw a commercial on MEAT 🥩? It’s all advertising for fast food, cereals, gold fish, cookies, HIGHLY Processed, seed oil and sugar filled poison ☠️ And YES, it’s killing us! Everyone you know has a family member who has died or is fighting cancer, heart disease or diabetes! It’s an absolute EPIDEMIC!! Ok, I’m done…Be Well and advocate for yourself, No one else is gonna do it for you!
Would you quit with the woke left BS? I’m as liberal as it is possible to be and liberals, in general, are always questioning the dominant paradigm. Just quit with the “woke” BS.
@@theskyehiker Not in my experience and I'm 74 yo. Everything that the Left claimed the Right was going to do was exactly what they did after getting elected. I was 13yo when LBJ defeated B.Goldwater in '64. It didn't take long for LBJ and the shadow government's CIA to stage a fake attack on the USN in the Gulf of Tonkin. During the election I remember all the Democrats declaring that Goldwater was a war monger who would escalate the war in Vietnam which the Democrats would never do. Seems that pattern has been very successful and you lefties continue to lie and bully to this day.
Please stop making this political. Both sides are in bed with big food, big oil and big pharma. It's the ultra rich who want to keep us down by eating the SAD diet.
My 14 year old senior puppy is doing GREAT on the carnivore diet after she was on death's door on dog food. Threw that crap in the trash. As a low carber, I am vastly improved in sooooooo many areas, I am amazed and very disappointed in most of our current medical communitiies and the fake food industry.
Thanks. All people do the right things for their situation. - This Harvard professor receives money and status from the plant industry - The normal people (SAD-eaters) are carb addicted, fooled by media and uncritical consumers - Vegans are ideologically minded people who cannot free themselves from their dogmatic beliefs - Free people are open to change and open to new ideas. Hence, a free thinker is able to become a carnivore when he starts to escape from mainstream narratives and when he starts to dig deeper into healthy nutrition. We all have our constraints. Some constraints come from within ourselves while others come from the outside. Good is that we all will be happy with our so called “choices” and decisions. No matter if our choices make sense on an objective level, we will be happily promoting and defending them.
There are some communication problems with your statements. WTF are you trying to say? SAD is normal? Vegans are just lacking in brain power because of lack of saturated fat with plant based diet that makes the cognitive ability of the brain even worse. Is it normal for 77% of a population of mammals to be unhealthy and suffering a lot of ailments and early death which is the human condition in 2024 ? Almost nobody does the right thing for their health or welfare in the USA.This is clearly demonstrated because every town and city has an increasing population of homeless mental cases. I allow my body to defend the carnivore way of eating. I share the knowledge and keep it short if people ask. I can assess a person's health within a few seconds of seeing them. This evolved knowledge is available to all carnivores. If a prey is exhibiting signs of weakness or inattentiveness it is potentially the next meat for us carnivores and if another species of carnivore has signs of weakness we will take it out which means more prey animals for us to eat. We humans really have no choice in what to eat. Anything other than meat is a clear choice to slow death which involves a lot of pain and suffering as well as mental torture.
On carnivore month 3. Lost weight fast. Very vasculated now. Lost my gut issues. Also recent I stopped having esophageal spasms I've had for a year and a half.
I don't need an overpriced Ivy League school to tell me anything. I've eaten the SAD, the low-fat diet, and carnivore. I always feel better when I eat a carnivore diet. So for me the proof is in how I feel!
As a carnivore for three months I am feeling a great deal better than I was eating the standard food pyramid . I am a type 2 diabetic blood sugars were varying between 16 and 19 normal being below 6. I developed peripheral neuropathy which spread gradually from my left foot to my right foot to my left hand and finally my right hand. And then started intensifying and crawling up to my knees and wrists I wore socks to help my feet and compression gloves to be able to sleep. The pain gradually increased to the point where I was taking too much over counter pain killers and asked the doctor for something stronger I got codeine and paracetamol to which I added aspirin . Restless legs at night because of the pain destroyed my sleep and my health was generally deteriorating. I had Angina, anxiety depression and high blood pressure among others. Now I have managed to drop most of my blood pressure meds and my blood sugar is solidly at 7.5 to 8 still not perfect but heading in the right direction! The anxiety angina and depression are things of the past and I sleep much better. The neuropathy is not gone but has reduced to the point where it if bearable. I also have fibromyalgia which has seriously limited my mobility but I find I can move better and stand for more than 20 seconds. My aim is to be medication free by the end of the year. Weight loss was not my aim but I do need it. I have lost round about 30 kg / 60 lbs maybe more but my scale died so not absolutely sure. All in all dropping the carbs has greatly benefited my health overall. I am 67 starting weight round about 137kg
great information again Doc. thank you. for everyone else, I have been high fat low carb for almost 10yrs now, after being stage 4 blood cancer TWICE in 2 yrs. it has kept me in remission, and thriving since.

Ha ha harvard
Harvard has lost any credibility from me
Right, no credibility @@Brianboru-k8y
It’s weird that this is even an argument among academics. Human bodies are brilliant for our ability to adapt and thrive. Our amazing bodies (barring any unusual complications) can take energy, or protein or essential nutrients from anything we consume and serum levels do not accurately reflect what’s already in our cells and tissues. Veganism, carnivore, keto, paleo, caloric restriction, whatever other “diet” ALL have a dirty version that nobody feels good about, and a clean version where getting away from the micro doses of literal toxins in processed foods can heal the body. The focus on macros is missing the point in my opinion. Is it real food? Your body will use it.
That article is paid for those companies that want to keep you sick and on meds. It’s a shame how the fools in America can’t be sold in other countries. I’m sticking with the Dr’s like Dr. Tony and others that are telling us the truth and teaching us the correct way to eat 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nobody said anything when I was eating pizza, processed foods and sugary cereals. Now, as soon as I cut out the processed foods, sugar, and sead oils, all of a sudden, I'm gonna get a heart attack and destroy the planet. Geez!!
Love it
Likewise, probably not gonna quit the blueberries.
Good for you! Spread the word! 👌👍
This is the truth right here. All these people telling you its bad eat all the processed garbage, are on statins, hctz, anti-depressants, metformin, and naproxen. Also, my one weakness is peppers and onions. I eat those with a meal maybe once every 2 weeks.
Harvard has become a joke as a multinational corporate/ government mouthpiece. Duke has taken its place as the premiere higher ed institution. Since 1998 they have done research on Keto and Carnivore and had a Keto clinic founded in 2006 run by Dr Eric Westman that includes carnivore. My husband and I have been eating a carnivore diet after eating keto for two years. I still had gut issues on Keto that have disappeared in Carnivore. In just in three weeks we have seen big changes including the lifting of brain fog and joint pain disappearing. And for the first time I feel full and have no cravings. My husband just had his numbers checked by his doc and they are terrific. Even his l elevated sugar is coming down. Interestingly enough he eats no white sugar or sweets BUT he ate a lot of different fruit everyday-bananas, blueberries, melon, pineapple and dates and apples. He is 6’ 2” 180lbs so you’d never think this would be a problem, but it was!
Saying that not eating carbohydrates increases your risk of diabetes shows a lack of professionalism. Harvard should be ashamed to have such a doctor on staff.
Omg, WOW. That's unreal.
Well Harvard is the Frankfort school in disguise..it's the school of the controllers, indoctrinaters
Harvard is run by Freemasons -, they hate us
Not a lack of professionalism, but a lack of basic metabolic knowledge and education...which is far worse and VERY DANGEROUS.
As soon as someone claims it’s” bad for the planet “ , they just revealed themselves as a propagandist
Carnivore for 6 months; beating cancer. Extra benefit is no more joint pain anywhere.
Yes, yes and yes
How does consuming class one and class two carsegonic foods exclusively help cancer ?
How does not consuming the ultimate cancer fighter polyphonls not found in animal products help ?
animal protein is better than the fake jew propaganda u believe in
@@julienfroidevaux1143
Well, that didn't take long for Julien the Fraud to come crawling out of the woodwork.
You might want to learn how to spell first ("carsegonic"?) before any one takes you seriously.
@@julienfroidevaux1143did you listen to the video? The cancers are caused by the sugars and carbs that others consume!!!
Okay, as a carnivore for about 15 months, my health has never been better. Weight optimal for my 77 years of age. I feel like I'm aging backwards! CARNIVORE FOREVER!
Thanks for being crazy about carnivore
🙌
15 months...LOL.
Carnivore for almost 5 years. Lost over 150 lbs and blood work has never been better. At age 67 healthier than I was when I was in my 30s. Carnivore has been wonderful for me!
@@gwb8445 That's great news. I'm delighted you're doing so well. I wish you many more years of good health. Out of curiosity, how's your ApoB?
My son and I started carnivore over a year ago. Bad for our health? Let's break it down. My son: 16 years old, 305 lbs, 5'10" tall. He had excema, psoriasis, and acne. His self confidence was terrible. 13 months later, AS A CARNIVORE,: 175 lbs, acne GONE, Psoriasis GONE, acne GONE. His confidence is sky high. He smiles more, laughs more, and grades went from C/B to straight A's. Me, one year ago? 62 years old. 5'8" tall and 174 lbs. Bench press 100 lbs, shoulder press 40 lbs, dips machine 60 lbs, curls 40 lbs. Today? 150 lbs. Blood pressure down from good to excellent. Cholesterol DOWN without medication. Bench press multiple sets at 175lbs, shoulder press multiple reps at 100 lbs, dips machine multiple reps at 220 lbs curls multiple reps at 100 lbs. I can outrun most of the 30 year olds I play soccer with. I feel like I am 25 and not 63 years old. Tell me again how bad carnivore is for us??? Still waiting....
I am overwhelmed with the amazing testimonials that have been shared with this video, and I really appreciate it
@@DrTonyHamptonI appreciate you doctor. My hope is that all M.D.'s will one day be open to the truth as you are.
That is very impressive. Congratulations on your progress. Would you mind sharing what your son and you typically eat in a day please? Thank you
Most mornings we each eat 5 scrambled eggs fried in bacon grease or beef tallow with 2 beef patties (28 grams of protein in each 1/3 pound patty from Costtco). I drink 60 grams of whey protein (zero carb/zero sugar) at about 2 p.m. (Only because I am trying to build muscle). My son doesn't drink the protein. At about 7 p.m. we each eat a large steak either whole or chopped up and cooked with bacon. We eat large portions and this keeps us from being hungry. We drink zero carb electrolytes water a few times during the day. We are in the gym at least 5 days a week for an hour. To mix it up, we sometimes cook beef ribs (salt only to taste), crock pot cross rib roast cooked in water and salt, shreaded pork fried in bacon grease or shrimp fried in bacon fat or butter. We keep it simple! Two meals a day for each of us and I drink my whey protein for muscle growth. The trick is to eat and feel full. Dense meat keeps you satisfied and not hungry through the day. If we ever feel hungry, we cook up a beef patty and eat it like a cookie! We use an air fryer a lot and it has made cooking easy. We have NO intention of eating a standard diet again. The trade between feeling incredible and giving up the foods we loved and craved was an easy choice once we were about 5 months into this. We prefer to feel light, strong, and healthy. Most of our friends and family don't understand how we do it. 2 of my sisters in law (One a medical doctor and one a teacher) have joined us once they saw our results. Both of them are beyond happy with their transformations. The doctor even stopped smoking. The human body is amazing and it will adapt and repair itself once the bad influences are kicked out. I truly wish you the best. Keep it simple. Beef, pork, chicken, fish, seafood, eggs, butter, bacon, bacon fat, beef tallow, salt, and electrolytes water. My treat is a black coffee in the morning. My son's treat is one Coke Zero per day. Mix and match your meats and throw some eggs in sometimes. Eat cheap, fatty beef. We stick to cheap cuts for our budget. We each have our favorites. We started this to help my type 2 diabetic wife and my obese son. Sadly, my wife hasn't been able to do it. Sugar has her addicted. I am beyond proud of my son. You can do this!!!!
@@Belg6179 much appreciated Sir. Thank you very much. I wish you and your family all the best
For anyone on the ropes, give it a try for 90 days. My results are amazing. Never going back.
YES!!!
How is muscle building and or cardio health?
@@lukeairborne5552
I’m 71. I do sprints , walk and Zumba rebounding getting 8 kms a day with squats.
@@lukeairborne5552
carnivore is high protein so muscle building is excellent! it's also high in saturated fats which is the best for the cardiovascular system
@andyman8630 would you say having fruit on workout days may assist further? I already have 200 grams protein I just can't do this stuff forever it's to bland and I do pretty well on fruit so far I just want to lose the back fats or love handles and i fear carbs or sugar may keep me there as I have tried to lower calories or workout harder I already walk around 8 hours 5 days a week and strength train usually 2 to 3 times just providing context here have done keto for a good 6 months and it's weird because I lose the water and fat every except the worst possible location to which ruins my overall physique entirely. So I instead have tried making my upper body in general bigger to counteract this lame fat it's worked but still dissatisfied.
(Thx for taking the time to read)
I suffered from IBS my entire life. Two years ago at age 68 I went carnivore and was completely cured.
It does feel like a miracle sometimes
I don't want to add fuel to the fire mamabear...but doesn't that PISS YOU OFF? So many 'chronic' health conditions that make life downright miserable healed by eating a proper human diet and 'big food' and 'big pharma' keep promoting plant based. It's criminal I tell ya...
My over 25 years of chonic IBS & acid reflux went into full remission within 2 weeks of starting the carnivore diet(that was back in February 15th, 2022 & have never looked back)…..
@@marcdanieltheriault3955 Wonderful!
I wouldn't say cured, but in remission, because if you eat plants again, the symptoms will come right back.
Thank you Dr Hampton. 787 days carnivore, dropped 47lbs, no more psoriasis, acid reflux, snoring to the point of divorce, inflammation, Diverticulitis, IBS, farting like a gorilla, aches, joint pains, tired always, mood swings, sllep issues...65 feelin 25...never going back to my 80% plant based diet, never too old to learn! Naysayers, you do you, I'll do me, I'm the happiest I've been in decades, so you can't piss on my parade 😊
I was diagnosed with MS almost 10 yrs ago and was eating lots of fruits and tons of veggies with a small amount of meat. It wasn’t until I dropped the fruit and veggies and went carnivore that health returned. 😊 I thank God for beef and all the ranchers and good doctors on you tube
6 months Carnivore:
PCOS symptoms significantly decreased
Hashimoto's healing
HBP gone
Type 2 Diabetes gone
joint pain gone
brain fog gone
multiple skin issues gone
20 lbs lost
My doctors shake their heads and tell me to keep doing what I am doing.
Amazing 🥲
I have PCOS too but the next year I want to get marry and have a baby so Im starting carnivore diet today. 😊
Wow I'm curious how long it took for the brainfog to lift?
@@ProfessionalReferences
Probably days.For me the inflammation was coming away within the first week then everything fell in line and I also realised I wasn’t prone to falls which I was having regularly and that was when I knew I needed to do something drastic and it was carnivore. So so much better.
Do you eat nothing but beef? Any dairy?
16 months carnivore. I’m 67 years old - lost 88 lbs, lost inflammation, lost brain fog. I love this way of eating and have never felt better!!
No money, no Harvard. Always follow the money. Kings eat meat; peasants eat wheat. Which do you want to be?
I like that. I'm stealin it.
This will be my new saying
I'm 7 months strict carnivore. Bloating, farting,headaches, inflammation, brain fog, irritability, gone. I'm sleeping through the entire night.
My doctor said to me, whatever I was doing, keep on doing it.
When asked what I was doing - they replied, they can not endorse that.
Go figure.
Because if they advocate what you're doing and it goes against the guidelines of the American Heart Association they run the risk of getting sued. It's a joke.
I once had the privilege of speaking with world renowned Stanford epidemiologist Dr Jay Battacharya. Yes, the Dr Battacharya who was a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration. I asked him what he thought of carbohydrate restricted diets. He said that was not a field he had expertise in, but (in his opinion) nutrition research was largely trash. He said no one should allow anyone else to talk them out of consuming a diet that makes them feel well. That's good enough for me. I have been animal based for 5 years and I am NEVER going back!
There are so many flaws with nutrition science that it’s embarrassing 😳
Animal based? So not carnivore. What do you eat? Are you lean? The issue with pure carnivore is long term it breaks the metabolism and lowers androgens. I was raving about it too but had to admit I was wrong and I consulted with many of the big names in the Carnivore movement, the likes of Paul Saladino, Georgia Ede, and many more. They had no answers.
@@Onlylovelystuff What does breaking the metabolism mean? Love Georgia Ede, but Paul Saladino isn't a big name in the "Carnivore movement", he eats fruit.
@@Onlylovelystuff I use the term animal-based only because I abhor the way the term "carnivore" tends to be abused by both sides of the debate. I consider myself and ALL human beings to be carnivorous entities. The only definition of the term "carnivore" that I espouse is the one used by biologists which is:
1) an entity which relies on the flesh of animals for the majority (75% or more is the accepted amount) of it's food, and/or
2) an entity which must consume some amount of animal flesh in order to sustain its life/health.
By part 2 of the definition ALL human beings are born carnivore in that there are nutrients we require that are not available via plant foods in the absence of ultra-processed foods and/or synthesized micronutrients. Any human being surviving in a primitive environment would not live long past breast milk without animal sourced foods.
that's true. if you feel good, do you. but it's not right human diet. good luck.
Keto since 2015 and carnivore since 2022. Just going from keto to carnivore here’s what happened:
Lost 25 lbs that I couldn't lose on keto.
Cured my chronic migraines
Cured metabolic syndrome
Reduced chronic knee pain by 80%
Improved gum health
Have a much higher tolerance against sunburns (I'm a redhead with freckles)
Look younger at 51 than I did at 35
Sustainability, missing a meal no longer triggers voracious ravinousitis. Don't eat the Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, plus the three snack in between. Sometimes three meals, sometime 2 meals. Less pots, less dishes, less grocery shopping, less rotten vegetables in my fridge. The vegetable drawers are used for eggs and cheeses now.
Good stuff
Amazing!
Same here! 😆
So convenient isn’t it!😊
Yeppers ❤
Great video Dr. Hampton. ☺️ Carnivore has healed so much for me! I started off carnivore in hopes to reverse my fibrocystic breast masses that have built up over 6 years eating half a dry skinless chicken breast piece a day with half cup of broccoli and little bit of wheat noodles. We are told don’t eat very much meat- so the world is almost vegan just about. I would eat red canbbage too- cooked it and ate cabbage about 3 times a week. That was about it. So I was mainly chicken, broccoli, and little wheat noodles. So from age 40-46 I started getting all that “aging” health issue mess- and the fibrocystic breast “disease” started and kept building up! When I hit age 46 I was done with it! The fibrocystic masses were getting me scares- and I started getting huge painful breast cysts too! One was around 2” long and 1” wide! Docs would say, “we don’t know what causes fibrocystic breasts disease” and “fibrocystic breasts is now normal because everyone is getting it” and “fibrocystic breast could turn into cancer” and “there is nothing you can do for fibrocystic breasts” and “diet doesn’t cause fibrocystic breasts!” I was gaining weight too and by summer of 2022 I hit perimenopause at age 46 and got every symptom you could think of. My joints were hurting too, no sleep at night, dizzy at times, it was ridiculous! I know it had to be diet! Little did I know that all the other health issues I had all my life, in addition to this mess listed above, was all due to diet!
I went searching online and found the truth of my fibrocystic problem! Found out cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and asparagus) are all cruciferous veggies that block natural iodine absorption found in foods! And if you become depleted in iodine it messes up your thyroid which controls all- even hormones! And all organs need iodine including breasts! They swell if you are deficient! And I read these cruciferous veggies can cause cancer due to lack of iodine in body since they block absorption! Bingo! We are all being told to eat cruciferous veggies, that they can prevent cancer, and to eat lots of it including broccoli!! But in fact they are causing cancer and I truly feel it is causing all the fibrocystic breast cases that have been escalating lately that we are seeing! When I post about this and ladies write back saying they too had fibrocystic breasts, I ask, “do you eat cruciferous veggies, especially broccoli” and they all have said, “YES!”
I did more research and found carnivore! I Jumped right in! In 6-8 weeks I lost 45 pounds! My perimenopause reversed! In fact don’t even get PMS symptoms and my cycle is perfectly paced! And so much more reversed that I started writing it down! And yes, my fibrocystic breast masses shrank!
I share my progress because I want people to see how carnivore can heal so much and most of these things are commonly healed for many, not just me! I want to help and this is how I do- by sharing. No I am not paid to do this, I just want to help people see and be aware of what carnivore can do!
I do update this list as I have been on carnivore (more lion diet version) for 1 year and 9 months now. I feel this has helped so many decide if they should try carnivore. I always say go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry- my three most favorite doctors. They are truly amazing! I call them my carnivore doctors! ☺️
* No more perimenopause- completely reversed!
*Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself!
*No more night sweats
*No more waking every 2 hours at night!
*It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast!
*No more life long eczema
*No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea)
*No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm
*No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more brain fog
*No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows
*used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more!
*Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight.
*Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing!
*Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well.
*Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 47 and look like I am in early 30’s.
*Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me.
*No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach!
*Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup!
*no cravings unless they are for meat
*no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago.
*No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around.
* no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller.
*feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 90 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that.
*Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights.
* no more body odor!
* I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much.
*I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that.
* I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things.
*Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing!
*no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing!
* I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too!
*Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before.
*Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides!
*I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone!
*I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore.
*My teeth look more white on carnivore.
*My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome!
*i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone.
* at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months.
*the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry!
*little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance!
*The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy!
*My slightly receding gums behind my center bottom front teeth have rebuilt so gums all over are super healthy! I have flossed daily for years, but gums look even healthier!
*my skin on my face isn’t as oily as it used to be.
*My hair used to be super oily if not washed daily, but carnivore has regulated my hair so I can now go days without having to wash it- doesn’t get oily after one day like before! (Newest update added!)
Want to mention if you start to get any allergy symptoms further into carnivore you may have histamine intolerance. Happened to me if I ate smoked meats daily for months straight. Went back to baking my meats and all the symptoms went away! Look into histamine intolerance when starting carnivore to make sure you know symptoms and not to eat smoked aged meats daily like I did if you get symptoms. Eat smoked meats less often.
I do go outside daily for at least an hour a day during week and several hours on weekends if possible! I try to stay on consistent sleeping schedule of 6-8 hours of sleep and sleep like a bear!☺️
So there you go! ☺️ I hope this helps people on their journey to fins out what works for them! Carnivore is working for everyone that tries. Go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry! And go visit Kerry’s channel at Homesteadhow! We love him too! ☺️
Thank you so much! We need to get more likes.. I wish there was a share feature on comments.
Sharing: I'm down 113 pounds and my teeth have never felt stronger. My joints quit hurting too.
75 years old, low carb for 12 years and almost exclusively meat for 3 years and now experience the best gut health of my life, optimal body composition, lots of energy, excellent sleep patterns, optimal mental/emotional health, no aches and pains, optimal metabolic function of all five markers. Prior experimentation with whole food plant based eating during my 30’s and 40;s over a period of almost 20 years resulted in many health and cognitive issues, such as chronic muscle/joint pain, brain fog, digestive problems such as gas, bloating and spending too much time in the toilet.
Carivore of 15 months now and never going back to a standard American diet. I am no longer diabetic, my blood pressure is normal, I was taking 7 medications I am off all of them. I get to sleep 7 to 8 hours a night which is something I've never been able to do. I no longer have acid reflux, I have so much energy I can't believe it even after a year on carnivore I am totally amazed about the little things. I'm down I think 60 lb now I'm not really counting now it's all in how I feel. I'm a pretty strict carnivore 90% beef and eggs, some fish, some chicken and lamb, butter, lard and sugar free bacon But mostly beef and eggs. It makes grocery shopping so easy and meal preparation is easy. Good luck all you new carivores
And we have all your backs for everybody that’s willing to be Carnivore curious or to dive right in
Harvard turned itself into a woke joke. Lost all credibility.
I don't think "woke" had anything to do with it. Their research was a joke when I was a kid in the 60's, when their lead researcher had a syndicated column in newspapers promoting eating more sugar, because sugar has calories, and Americans need calories.
money rules the world
@@kaakrepwhatever Exactly right. Never use slang adjectives like "woke" or "fascist" or "commies." Harvard personnel - both admins and professors - have already PROVED themselves nothing more than PAID PROMOTERS for the highest bidders in BOTH industry and government. Make this clear. We have an historical record over decades. It is COUNTERPRODUCTIVE to just sling around slang adjectives. I attended Harvard on scholarship. I am not guessing. "One liners online" are simply not useful at all. That is counterproductive. Ancel Keys was Harvard faculty and lied for the sugar and grain industries. He took money to lie to countless victimized Americans from his false "high perch" at Harvard. Ancel Keys was also a Pentagon contractor. That's not a coincidence. What we call "fastfood" and "TV dinners" today were military MRE's during WW2. None of this is "OK.' Americans must stop seeking "heroes" in DC, in industry, in universities, in mass media, in the Pentagon or anywhere else. Those "heroes" do not exist. Americans must presume EVERYONE "on TV" and "in universities" is lying for money. All of them. No exceptions. When the Carnival Barkers are barking, we must always ONLY follow the money.
@@kaakrepwhatever It is woke when you realise that the word woke has been hijacked and now means the opposite to people who are actually woke. Like all of the bullshit social agendas that the schools push these days. Common sense is gone.
They are beyond ridiculous and people still listen to them, because its Havard. 🙄
My health has never been better by quitting grains, fruits, vegetables, high fructose and cooking oil. This spring I stopped vegetables gardening because all the compost bags had suspected glyphosate residue in them. All my pepper plants crinkled and died. Now the garden plot is full of 10 foot tall sunflowers sprouting from the wild bird seeds. Right in June afternoon, I’m watching flocks of goldfinches nibbling away with chirpy happiness. Joining them are hundreds of bees and butterflies. Hmmm this ribeye is delicious with just sprinkle of salt.
The Harvard people, they have no shame. It boils down to big money.
I love what you did with your garden! Thats what millions of acres could look like if we ditched the mono crops. Natural grass plains with well managed herds of cattle, goats, sheep, etc.
@@Elusive.magick Which mono crops were you thinking of?
A appreciate you
eliminating grains? good. fried foods? good; refined sugars? good. fruit/? not good. your brain and mental health will siuffer in ways that you may not see, but we can. and your physical health will follow. probably. good luck!
@@GraemeSmith-kd5eb would be cool to get rid of the corn and soybean fields that are for oil. And the corn that is used for useless ethanol. Give the farmers a new sustainable food source to grow.
I transitioned to keto at the beginning of the pandemic, Jan 2020, and slowly transitioned to carnivore over the last year. The reason for going carnivore is eliminating those last veggies and fruit finally got rid of and kept off 53 excess pounds, improved my sleep, and cleared my brain fog. Additionally, I am no longer thinking about food, obsessing about my next meal, nor feeling deprived. I haven't been "hangry" in 4 years. I think trying something like this for 30 days won't be harmful to anyone, but I'm not a doctor. Just a person whose health improved.
Just a person we needed to hear from 😊
Not being "hangry" is absolutely amazing. Joint pain gone - also amazing. My mood and demeanor are just more pleasant. I've lost 18 lbs with about 10 more to go. I feel so satisfied.
I look so much younger and my energy levels are amazing
What is the main difference you noticed between being keto and being on carnivore?
@@adim00lah I noticed I stopped coughing when I went carnivore. I was coughing after eating any vegetable or fruit. I also noticed how much simpler it was to prepare a meal. I'm no longer faced with a myriad of choices and what to do with my soon-to-be-rotten vegetables. Instead, I get to focus on making carnivore foods different or exciting which often means a lot of time and steps. The beauty of carnivore for me is that if I just want to eat, it's quick to make a simple meal and I don't have to go through a lot of steps. I save that when I have the energy and desire.
Thanks Dr. Hampton, 20 months carnivore here and feeling my best at 64
I am 50 years old, 150 days ago I was 295 lbs. now on carnivore.
Obviously this is just anecdotal, but after eating a standard American diet and feeling like complete garbage, I've tried eating the "healthy" diet over the years with some gains in weight loss but little to no improvement in the way i feel. I tried Keto and did feel better and weight loss increased. But it was hard to maintain and easy to fall into the trap of fake "keto friendly" foods which was just more processed garbage.
After starting carnivore 150 days ago, the change has been so profound and impactful both physically and mentally that I have no interest in going back. I haven't felt this good since my mid to late 20s. My quality of life has improved exponentially and keeps getting better. In my experience your body pretty quickly tells you when something is wrong, and right now it is telling me to keep doing what I am doing.
Appreciate your wonderful testimony
Hoping it will inspire
You didn’t say if you lost any weight? Pls update us. You were 295lbs…
77 yr. old F, 5’4” 140 lbs. carnivore 16 months. Besides 50+ lbs weight loss, no meds, mental clarity, energy, gerd gone, a1c 4.8, blood pressure 110/70. Common sense says Im on the right track….
I have been carnivore for about 6 months. My family tells me I am easier to be around, because of all the gas I had. It was awful, I would have gas “at least” every five minutes. That is no exaggeration or way to live. Now, if I have gas, it is because of garlic or some dairy I added to my food. I do not do that very often, my life is much more livable now and I feel great. I have lost 30lbs and have more energy. Thank you Dr. Hampton for your videos.❤️
Love it
I've been on a carnivore diet for 17 months now and it makes me surprised every time I fart because It only happens once every three or four months.
Thank you, Dr. Hampton!
I have been on the carnivore diet for almost two years. I SUFFERED with acid reflux that was supposedly the result of my hiatal hernia. I couldn't even drink water without pain, and when I woke up in the morning, I felt like I was drowning in stomach acid. I felt absolutely miserable.
When I went to the gastroenterologist, he said that I could only take the prescribed PPI Pantoprazole for a maximum of three weeks. This made me desperate to find help. I searched UA-cam and came across a video from Dr. Berry. I tried "Keto" for a week. Actually, it wasn't true Keto. I ate broccoli, spinach, red bell peppers, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and one other vegetable, but I can't recall what it was now. I also ate chicken breast and eggs (all cooked in cold-pressed sunflower oil). NO IMPROVEMENT. But, Dr. Berry had mentioned the word "carnivore" so I looked into that.
After watching more of his videos, I decided to try this crazy Carnivore thing, and after 3 days, my acid reflux was gone without having to take a PPI! Back pain and tendon pain was also gone! By day 4, my blood pressure, which had been out of control even after taking 2 Amlodipine a day was 108/63 without having taken medication for 24 hours because of a blood draw I was scheduled for that morning!
I have experienced over 40 improvements to my health since starting carnivore. I will NEVER go back to the standard, high carb diet that everyone likes to call "balanced".
I would rather trust you, the San, the Lakota, the Sami, the Inuit, the Hadzabe, the Maasai, and all the other carnivore/meat-based people groups, than the fools who see that intestinal issues, cancers, Type II diabetes, mental health issues, dementia, obesity, auto-immune issues, heart attacks and strokes are all on the rise, right along with fiber intake, while red meat and saturated fat intake is, and has been, on the decline, so saturated fat and cholesterol are evidently not causing these problems. Let the "experts" at Harvard keep spouting nonsense.
Thank you for your informative and concise video. It's these short videos that will win the ear of those who are searching. It was because of Dr. Berry's short videos that I found out about the Carnivore diet, and for that, I will be forever grateful.
So, please keep making short videos for the ones who may be searching for some relief. They are needed.
I promise to do just that
@dmt3412 you're actually lucky that your G.E. said you could only take PPIs for three weeks. I suffered from heartburn as well, and my GE wrote me a prescription for PPI's. When I asked him how long I'd have to take them for, he said "probably the rest of your life" and then proceeded to recommend a plant based diet. I didn't get the prescription filled, and I stayed carnivore. The FDA will only recommend PPI's for up to 6 weeks, and does NOT recommend long-term use of PPI's, citing risk of serious long-term side effects.
I've been low carb for 15 years and carnivore for over two years. I cured my asthma, chest infections, stablised my weight and greatly improved my arthritis. At 60, I am lean, muscular and very active, still competing at a high level in sailing competition. If the carnivore diet were dangerous long term why am I not sick and fat and on metformin and statins like so many my age? Also my hair is still its original colour and no grey in my pubic or underarm hair either.
Nice!!
I’ve been eating animal meat (beef, pork,chicken, salmon , shrimp,turkey,venison & eggs) for 14 months now…I lost 67 pounds & eye floaters are gone! Feeling better ,sleeping better w/skin improvement -reduced 50% psoriasis & body inflammation too! 🥩👍🏻 “Long live carnivores”🥳👏🏻
I was whole-food/plant based for 4 years and transitioned to full carnivore on May 1st. My bloating, gas, IBS gone. Anxiety gone. PMS gone. TMJ healed/jaw pain and clicking gone. Energy is next level and this is all in less than 2 months! It’s real ya’ll - I don’t care what fancy Harvard says! Liberation through food is beautiful.
Welcome back to health !! Your biology never concerned itself with your feelings.
How have you healed all that so quickly? It's been three months for me, and only lost weight, nothing else has got any better.
80% of the people with ibs have sibo. It's that infection in your gut that is the problem, eating a plant based nor carnivore diet will fix the problem. Avoiding foods that trigger the bacteria is all you are doing.
The minute you eat a plant again, it will come right back because the underlying infection is still there.
It's not easy to meet all your nutritional needs on this diet like getting enough magnesium, vitamin c, folate etc....
Wait till you get the complexion ❤❤❤❤ unless you already achieved th8s lol😊😊
@@jennybarnsley8338 people tell me every day that I’m glowing ☀️
Awesome video! Im mainly carnivore. Lost 15 ilbs, saw a reversal of hypoglycemia, have incredible energy and stamina, looking much healthier and younger, very clear thinking, and I'm 58. Glory to God 🙌🏽
Wow!!!
I practiced medicine for 40 + years. And I preached the same things I was told to patients. I was wrong, I have switched to carnivore diet. I just started it 1 month ago, physiologically it is logical. I have lost 21 lbs in the last month, I am going to the gym, and my low back arthritis is probably 50% improved. The medical/ Pharma/Indusry lied to us, and continue to lie. We, as providers need to begin to question, and confront these massive inconsistencies that are being taught still in medical school, and proffered to patients. Thanks Dr. Hampton, keep up the good work!
Yes. Good on you for seeing what many of us didn’t for too long.
I am pretty disappointed when I see the rubbish that goes in to people’s trollies at the supermarket.
Heavy-duty meds three times a day for fibromyalgia. Three weeks on carnivore, fibromyalgia is *poof* gone. Ditto GERD and HTN. It’s been two years on carnivore and I’m down 105#. ONE HUNDRED FIVE POUNDS!!! You won’t ever convince me that I need to go vegetarian. Ever. Thank you Dr. Tony

Harvard gets lots of money from sugar and big pharma ….
I have been eating ketogenic and carnivore for about 18 months and I have lost 100 pounds. My blood pressure has gone down and my arthritis has subsided. I’m with you ❤.
And I am with you 😊
Vegans are the only dietry group to be in the normal healthy BMI range according to Pub Med .
No animals need to be abused for your weight loss .😊
Just shy of 60 days full carnivore and I'm feeling fantastic! Zero cravings for sugar,carbs and pop. Done with the garbage I've eaten all these years. 14 lbs down but most importantly eating for necessity and not for habits. Big difference.
Carnivore has been a game changer for so many people
10mo into carnivore/lion and dropped 80lbs without exercise (though now I exercise a little because I have so much energy). Joint pain, inflammation, snoring all gone. I don't burn in the sun, I don't have trouble sleeping, I have consistent energy all day long, mood has vastly improved as well. I do not calorie restrict, I eat anytime I'm hungry and chow down on 2-3lbs of steak with salt per meal regularly. Thank you doc for posting your videos and references 👍
😊
I just did a quick search on the professor and found that he had a number of conflicts of interest. He was leaning vegetarian in 1990/1991 and has now become more plant based. He has published thousands of papers, however many were from grants given by companies trying to promote plant based theories. It just shows you the influence I individual can have!
So important to keep bias in front of people so they at least they know what information they are consuming
Good work Pat.
@@DrTonyHamptonDo you reject meat inc funded studies without evidence as well ?
Or just the plant based ones ?
No carnivore influencer seen to scream conflicts of interests when it comes to meat inc funded research .
Why is that ?
Because there are no meat funded studies. @@julienfroidevaux1143
I’m 76, 14 months into carnivore, free of joint pain, bloodwork now normal, no health issues, regained walking ability and lost 103 pounds. Thankful for all the help and support from the low carbohydrate and carnivore doctors and researchers who kept me steady and got me here, including you, Dr. Hampton.
One question, who paid for this Harvard study? That would tell us everything.
Good morning Dr Hampton. This is yet another great video debunking the diatribe coming from the haters. I noticed how the words used by the study's author are very wishy-washy, never really saying anything definitive. The "arguments" provided reminded me of my days of debating public policy in the state legislature. A whole bunch of would, could, and maybe words. Thank you for lending your credentials to the fight against misinformation by those who would either profit financially, or by doctrine, with continuing to spew such studies.
Thanks, Scott
I agree
55yo - was a yo-yo dieter all my life until I went carni just over a year ago. Best thing I’ve ever done. 80lbs down and kept it all off, without trying.
My gut was messed up BEFORE going carnivore and carnivore fixed it. And I do mean messed up. I was suffering for a good decade. Doctors were no help. Carnivore was the last thing left for me to try, and the results were nothing short of miraculous. Going on three years carnivore and not looking back.
Thank you for this debunk Dr. Hampton! Carnivore for 5 years now, and I can't imagine life any other way. It has served me very well!
Wonderful!
Carnivore for over a year and a half here, my IBS disappeared in the first week or two, my energy and focus skyrocketed, I lost around 15kg and kept it off, and my dandruff also went away. As for my wife, her migraines since childhood vanished. Carnivore heals.
Thanks, Dr Hampton. 63 year old RN from South Arica, 11 months of doing the carnivore diet. I will never go back to the Standard Western Diet again. The benefits are off the 8:43 charts and the thousands of stories of peoples lives that are being radically changed by this WOE reinforces my belief that this is a miraculous way to feed our bodies the fuel they were designed to consume. Carnivore for Life. 8:43
I’m 64 with lupus and severe osteoporosis. I broke my femur and my leg is healing very quickly and bone density is happening as I write this. The rest of my life is carnivore.
28 years old have been doing carnivore diet for a couple months and I feel like I have the energy of a child and my mental health is stronger than ever. My joint pain is gone, ibs is gone and my visions improving. And still more benefits to come I believe, we will see.
I agree with everything you've shared. Since going carnivore my A1C is going down, I've dropped over 50 lbs, the pain I was having in my joints is gone, my energy is wayyy up!, depression, insomnia, fatigue, all gone and mental clarity has greatly improved! I'm not ever going back to recommended standard diet, that way of eating was killing me slowly.. literally. I've gone through too much with my health to even try and write it all down. Tried being vegetarian and vegan for a few years and all it did was mess up my colon and I gained over 60 pounds! I never had enough energy and always got sick even though I was strict on what I was eating and it seemed like I was having to eat all the time because I would only be full for a couple of hours at a time. I only wish I would have known about carnivore 25 years ago and I wouldn't have had to deal with illnesses, hospitalizations and several operations. But better late than never! Carnivore is def the way to go.
Went carnivore in mid March 2024. 3months later: Lost 32 lbs, stopped need for CPAP (no snoring), stopped taking Metformin one month in, A1c is 6.1 from 10.5, triglycerides 1104 down to 92, cholesterol 228 from 311.
I am staying on the carnivore way of living.
I get the exact amount of fiber my body needs: 0 grams.
Correct ✅
hilarious
Oh, we know. We can smell your rectal cancer from miles and miles away.
Well said Dr. Tony. This message needs to be out there more widely. Why are Harvard presumably intelligent people still publishing nonsense? Protein and fat are the 2 essential macros, not sugar.
It’s perplexing 🤷🏾
One year mostly carnivore. Joint pain gone, working out again, all my gut issues are gone. Turns out fiber and all those vegetables caused my gut issues.
If you have weight issues, autoimmune issues, skin, energy, hormone problems, try it for 90 days.
My triglycerides dropped from 90 to 45. HDL jumped to 88. These are great metrics. A1C improved. CRP almost zero.
I wish I switched to animal based years ago.
Carnivore 9.5 months and have had so many improvements in my health -increased energy and strength, clearer mind, calmer disposition, elimination of pain throughout my body, sharper vision, weight loss and body recomposition, and much more. I was on a plant based diet for nearly two decades prior and suffered a lot. I used to have to give myself B12 shots on a regular basis. Now, my bloodwork is great and my cholesterol levels are a healthy range as well.
I’m about 13 months in and went from morbidly obese and disabled due to Pulmanary Sarcoidosis to 90lbs down , no more inhalers with restored breathing function. Drop in A1C , blood pressure and fasting insulin .
Love it
Harvard would rather you die than eat meat.
Wow, good to hear!! My hubby also had Pulmonary Sarcoidosis but passed away 5 years ago. I wish we would have known about the carnivore way of eating when he was alive, he was only 60. 😔 It's weird but whenever we told anyone about his Sarcoidosis, they would say, what is that?
I have been carnivore for a little over 2 years and have been a diabetic for over 35 years insulin dependent and now I only take a small amount of slow acting insulin with Victoza and every week my body is healing / my fasting blood sugar are in the 4’s and 5’’s . Carnivore and Dr Berry saved my life . I’m now 59 years old but feel in my 30’s .keep up the good work Dr Hampton 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I had the worst acne from eating carbs. No medication nor topical wash or treatments would help. Meat cured my skin.
I seen that so many times in my patients
Kelly Hogan has a great testimony of having terrible boils that only eating meat stopped this. She is on YT.
Me too
And ibs gone❤
So good to hear your views. I’m a medical physician, and I gradually became so ill on plant based lifestyle, autoimmune disorders ( Hashimotos, Ank Spond, IBD) but massively improved on carnivore. Can’t believe how stupid I was to swallow the vegetarian rhetoric, and how healing the carnivore lifestyle is. And I wonder if that sad Harvard Professor lost integrity in service of keeping ongoing research funding. Carnivore is so good for me. I agree…..Regenerative farming, organic where possible, with highest humane and ethical animal husbandry, farming practices that respect the great gifts animals give to us, I agree.
Are you pain free from AS.
For me the carnivore diet was a much better idea than the standard or plant based diet so what does that say about those options 🤣
No more of the following: obesity, prediabetes, loose teeth, bleeding gums, sensitive teeth
cold sores, blocked sinuses, mouth breathing, left eye twitches (tetany)
heartburn, calf cramps, yellow stool, blood in stool
edema below the knees, painful feet when walking, sunburn is less
shoulder, back and neck pain after waking, lower back pain and stiffness
5+ Years on the carnivore lifestyle now :)
Eat Meat, Not Too Little, Mostly Fat
Nice list
I should mention that my “pain doctor“ had me on multiple medication’s, and insisted that I get epidurals at least twice a year… Which didn’t seem like a good health trajectory to me- in addition to fixing my lower back it totally reversed my borderline type two diabetes, whereas .1% away from diabetes, but by then you’ve got significant insulin resistance. The last time I had my blood work done I had had six fasting insulin level and my A1c was down out of the danger zone and still improving. But the reversal of depression and anxiety and extraordinary levels of energy that I now have automatically… I wake up in the morning, spring out of bed and wake up early every day instead of lying around, dreading the fact that it’s morning, there were thousands of not tens of thousands of stories just like mine - - I am not an outlier or unique.
Been carnivore for 9 months, I’m off ALL medications, feel great, no brain fog and lost some weight. I don’t use a scale but my clothes fit loosely now where before they didn’t. Oh yea, I’m 64 year old male. Carnivore is not easy at first but it gets easier the longer you stick with it!!!
Thank you for this great video. Last year at this time, I was trying to do what I thought was the best for my health by eating less meat, and loading up on daily smoothies with almond milk, spinach, almond butter and oats and I couldn’t walk 1/8 of a mile to my library. I had to plan out my time if I needed to go to a store, or any activity, really, because I had limited steps; the pain in my joints, particularly my knees, was excruciating. Depression, poor sleep, and no energy were my daily norms. I don’t take any prescription medications but was considering it as the pain and fatigue was so awful, but as a last resort and out of desperation I tried the carnivore diet, because I thought “what do I have to lose?” Well what I have lost so far is 65 pounds, my joint pain and inflammation are almost non-existent, I have no more headaches, and LOTS of energy. I turned 60 this year and now enjoy hiking, swimming, kayaking, can zip to the library and back in just a few minutes, and never even think about how many steps I have in reserve. Why would I ever go back to the me of last year? Just by eating beef (which we purchase by the half cow from a farm 10 miles away), butter, eggs and heavy cream (from another local farm), as well as lots of seafood, I have a whole new lease on life! It’s better to ignore the naysayers who are either paid, ignorant, or too arrogant and proud to admit that eating an animal-based diet is optimal - some individuals even insist that eating a carnivore diet is “male aggressive and right-wing”!!! That last one leaves me speechless…but it shows the lengths to which the naysayers will go in order to push their agenda. There is no profit in good health, so an animal-based or carnivore diets will continue to be squashed by those who most benefit from the poor health of many in our society. Thank you again, Dr. Tony, for providing such informative content.
I just found your channel and subscribed, doc. Keto/IF has helped me lose over 110 lbs and cut meds in half. Sadly, I am still a metabolic trainwreck. I am getting educated and moving into the carnivore lifestyle. I look forward to learning from you.
Wonderful video! Thanks! In 4 months on keto (2 yrs ago) my prediabetes went away,. my AIC dropped to 5.2. I've lost a lot of weight in over 2 years on keto and then carnivore - late last year I was no longer obese. I was able to wear size 34 jeans, which I hadn't worn since high school (I'd needed size 44 waist 2 years ago). The other day, I tried on size 32 jeans - and they snapped and zipped up. They weren't cutting off my circulation, but they were a little too snug. I bet later this year I'll be able to wear them okay. I haven't worn size 32 jeans since 8th or 9th grade! I feel great. I have tons of energy. I sleep well. I love the carnivore diet.
(I shared this video on Fbook)
Thank you Doctor. 57 y/o and I lost 30 lbs in 90 days. Never had better health. Harvard, and many other institutions, are not concerned for my health or EVIDENCE. THANKS to doctors like you promoting health.
I've been eating mostly a carnivore way of eating for 15 months. I've reversed pre diabetes, high blood pressure, severe sleep apnea, arthritis, and about 20 health issues. Thanks Doc.
And I've lost more than 65 lbs.
Celiac, IBS, 80 yrs old. Switch to carnivore and have never looked back. No more symptoms of any kind and I am stronger than ever. Thank you so much for posting this. It's absurd what Harvard is claiming. 60 lb weight loss...
Been Ketovore for most of the last 2.5 years. Lost 180 pounds in the first year while being strict on carnivore diet, down from 380. I regained some weight after that so I sit around 220 pounds these days. I keep carbs under 10 grams a day and my fats make up 50-80% of my calories. I also try to do around 5-10 hours of cardio a week or around 150 cycle miles, though I'm always trying to push to higher goals. I did a 80 mile ride with an average heart rate of 145 last month, but I want to get to 100 miles. IBS, joint pains, head aches, low energy, bad sleep; gone. My AC1 is also now 4.5 when before i was nearly per-diabetic. 36 years old and plan to be doing bike marathons etc, like my grandfather did, into my 90's.
I agree with you dr Hampton, carnivore is a correct way of eating for us humans. I was vegetarian 5 years, vegan 1 year in the past then was trying to eat healthy (little meat, lots veg, grains) but my health was declining over the years. Now 50yoF, 13months on carnivore, I do not miss any veggies, or fruits.
My reflux of 20 years is gone, my debilitating intestinal cramps of 40 years are gone, no body odour, clear thinking, memory back, pcs gone, joints much more stable (been hypermobile), I am in excellent mood every day. Menopausal symptoms are all gone. They will come back immediately if I eat dairy. I love my life.
On day 80, had crippling anxiety ocd agoraphobia and depression for 20 yrs. Tried all doc treatments. Nothing has made me feel as good as carnivore. Lost 4.5 inches of belly fat in 3 months. Feel positive hopeful, full of possibilities. Meds help you cope, survive. Carnivore makes me feel like I will live again. I'm not fully there yet but I'm getting there.
Crippling anxiety, brain fog/ dementia feeling, and severe agoraphobia, poor sleep, fatigue here, amongst a others if other symptoms. Day ?34, fingers crossed
@@Waves353 hey, I changed my name and pic, don't know if you realised 🙂 how are you doing? I went for a walk with my dogs and it was so much easier. So less stressful. I'm on day 81 today. I reintroduced sauerkraut and kimchi 5 days ago. Feeling good

Been on Carnivore for 13 months now. I'm a male (57 yrs old) who suffered with Interstitial Cystitis of the bladder for four years. Went to four urologist only to be given medications and some limited bladder procedures. I turned to carnivore as an elimination diet to see if it was food related, although doctors were sure that it wasn't. I showed improvement within six weeks and am now 95% better. I also lost 25 lbs and am now down to the weight I was at in 7th Grade (yes...I was a fat child). Inflammation in my body has left and my joints don't hurt any longer. I'm more optimistic and now look forward to my next twenty years.
I guess the Inuit and Maasai people got 'forgotten' in this study 😂
Just got my bloodwork back after changing my eating habits.
Mostly carnivore.
Lost 40 lbs in 4 months. Cholesterol way way down (it was okay, now it's great) and I'm no longer prediabetic.
In my doc's words: Keep up the great work.
Good stuff
They are full of crap. I will stick with my Carnivore.
Please do
I had asthma, for 20 years along with ibs, hemmroids, chronic sinus infections, fibromyalga, staff infections and eczema. All went away after 3 months on a heavy meat diet. That was 13 years ago and still doing great.
Amazing results
So true!! A plant based diet gave me the worst gut health of my life and I was so sick and filled with inflammation! Full carnivore doesn’t work for me but being somewhere in between keto and ketovore seems to be a good balance. I am very much interested to see where my inflammation levels are now that I’ve stopped being plant based because before switching my diet, my c reactive protein was off the charts!
Appreciate you
Keep up the good fight Dr Tony. John from Brisbane.Paleo for 7 years and carnivore now since Oct 2023. Have always been fit and healthy and cycle 2-400 km a week. Decided to go carnivore to hopefully future proof myself from dementia/alzheimers/Parkinson’s etc.. I’m 65 by the way.
Due to reasons I was away from being able to eat my usual carnivore/animal based diet. In 3 weeks I have gained 20lbs, have severe gut pain, bathroom issues, sore throat, whole body rash, raised blood pressure, a migraine and now in a "type two diabetic " state, as my blood sugar is over 120. The "Standard American Diet" has done nothing but make me sick again.

5 year carnivore- male 43, reversed type 2 diabetes in 8 months along with hypertension, dropped the 5 meds I was on in the first year. I lost 245 lbs ( I started at 400 ) I’m currently 155 lbs at 6ft tall with 9-10% body fat. They say anecdotal evidence is worthless in a good argument, fair enough. But when you have 1000 people saying the same thing anecdotally, it’s not anecdotal evidence anymore it’s a hypothesis at the very least.
Shipping Almonds from California to Europe cant be good for the planet as well.
Amen
You have no idea the huge amounts of water that is wasted to produce them. A real shame that the driest places are robbed of their precious water to grow these poisonous nuts.
And it hurts Europe too. In Spain we have our own almonds that grow with less water that sustain a tremendous "turrón" (traditional Christmas candy) industry. Imported, cheaper lower quality almonds hurts the whole industry with the loss of jobs and people leaving farms and small towns for lack of jobs. Not blaming, it's all on the heads of our politicians that allow this but just know there ain't anything good about it except some big bucks going into big pockets.😒
Avocados from Chile, all the silly exotic seeds, fruits and what have you from Asia, the vegan's darlings, the list goes on. It is ridiculous.
Yes I’m from England and used to eat them!!! Now found a nice local farm shop. Where the grass fed cows are in the field out the back door.
Three weeks in, I'm down 6 pounds, stomach has reduced. Skin is starting to glow, and texture is improving. I don’t feel bloated, and looking more tone without exercising.
This also functions as an elimination diet so anything off will be quite apparent. I'm doing it about 85% and trying to ensure any veggies are low oxalate.
Hoping to improve sleep (castor oil pack on the liver at night has help as the detoxing may be what’s keeping me up.) Also hopeful for my energy to improve as well. So far, I am impressed.
I'm beef, butter, bacon, eggs, plus cherries and blueberries and probably way too much Planters nuts. One or two 34 oz. jars per week.
One health problem: glaucoma. No idea if high fat will help or harm.
Thanks for making this video.
A physician asked how I lost 28 pounds. After I said, carnivore she said, be careful because although initially your body will burn fat stores to lose weight, the intake of animal fats and proteins will cause higher LDL levels which in turn clog up your arteries giving a higher risk of cardiac issues. 😭 I have had three SCAD heart attacks in the past. First one when I was 38, then 40 and my last one at 50. I’m a 59 yo female. I always considered myself fit and healthy. SCAD is relatively unknown. My previous diet, I believed healthy, using rapeseed oil, plenty of veggies and limiting red meat and cooking from scratch. I really don’t know if there is a connection between SCAD and diet BUT since being carnivore I have never FELT better. No reflux, healed IBS, no toenail fungus or cracked heals (sorry 🤮) etc. Having my bloods done soon. I may get lectured about LDL levels and if I do, I may just have to smile and wave 👋
Been carnivore for about a year. Went from 270 lbs to 211 as of this morning. All health measures have improved dramatically. My lab work at recent doctors visit were stellar. At my last primary care visit doc said I needed to lose weight…… that wasn’t mentioned at this visit. My pre diabetes is gone. Harvard was once a place of learning and dependable information. That institution was bought and sold by big pharma and big food a long time ago.
I have been on and off carnivore for 10 years.
Healed pre-diabetes, gastritis, psoriasis, anxiety, joint pain, IBS, bladder sensitivity, varicose veins etc etc etc.
Anything out of Harvard, take with a grain of salt.
However, I am extremely glad that he has information and education and functional medicine and nutrition most people that have medical degrees don’t go above and beyond to get those extra certifications and functional medicine is where we need to be focusing and on proactive health care not go when you have a problem
My stomach has never felt better then on the carnivore diet. I wanted to do an experiment and try some olives and a pickle "healthy vegetables" a few nights ago. Ouch no thanks gas, bloating, and a burning #2. Back to strict carnivore from me!
I’m definitely someone who has to do strict Carnivore so I’m not surprised
Just subscribed. Awesome work sir.
I’m in Ireland. I’m 52, was reasonably fit and training 5 strong days each week. I have a background in sports and nutrition and I believed that I was eating a pretty balanced diet without too much extremism in either direction.
I won’t list all of the issues my body was having, but from old injuries, skin condition, digestive issues…there were quite a few.
Be the way I was also weighing in at 87/88kgs with what I thought or felt was a low bf %.
Ok. So I have been carnivore now for 4.5 months
I initially dropped to 82/3kg as all of the fat dropped off my body. Now I am lean, and am slowly but certainly adding more muscle.
My joint issues are gone. My stomach issues are gone. ( sometimes I have coffee and that affects stools but otherwise everything works so well)
My energy levels are insane, and never spikes or dips.
I sleep much much better -having previously had problems with insomnia.
Brain fog gone.
My commitment to carnivore has only produced positive benefits to my mental and physical wellbeing and I am so grateful for all of the good people educating and promoting this as the healthiest way of life.
I do not miss any carbs, although I used to love them for texture and tastes, my body now doesn’t register any desire, physiologically or nostalgically, and for certain I will never go back to eating how I previously ate. I have no nutritional deficiencies, and when I get my bloods checked again in another couple of months I expect a continued improvement in all.
A Life changing, life extending, life giving change.
Yes regenerative farming is a must.
Carnivore is king.
All I can say is wow
The sadness I feel when I recall Governments across the world, Federal or State, massively reducing public University funding, threatening the continuity of many Academics’ research teams, seeing how they would disappear unless research funding could be persuaded from outside the Uni funding structures. Those research teams were essentially driven to find funding any way they could - from big pharma, the processed food industry, sugar and corn, grain, any businesses or organisations that had the financial ability to fund the research outcomes the outside organisations wanted to see..Loss of integrity, loss of independence, compromising values and ethics - all in the service of keeping research teams afloat… such a hard path…
Saw your interview on Bella’s channel. We need so many more MDs to come over from the dark side. Thank you!
Absolutely!!
Love Bella
Been strict carnivore since Jan 1 2024, I had no notable metabolic issues to speak of, but I can say without hesitation…I feel as good as I ever have! I’m 58 years old, I’m at my high school weight 195!
I’m sleeping as good or better than ever in my life!
I’m intermittent fasting 18/6 and a few days a week I eat OMAD!
It’s MAINLY the Woke left that are giving push back on carnivore!
“THEY”, whoever they are, want us unhealthy , sick and RX dependent!!
Makes me very angry when I see what the truth is😡
No Sugar, animal based, carnivore, whatever you want call it is a superior level of nutrition…PERIOD !
The lies we’ve been told about cholesterol and saturated fat 😮
When’s the last time you saw a commercial on MEAT 🥩?
It’s all advertising for fast food, cereals, gold fish, cookies, HIGHLY Processed, seed oil and sugar filled poison ☠️
And YES, it’s killing us!
Everyone you know has a family member who has died or is fighting cancer, heart disease or diabetes!
It’s an absolute EPIDEMIC!!
Ok, I’m done…Be Well and advocate for yourself, No one else is gonna do it for you!
Thank you for sharing your inspiring testimonial
Would you quit with the woke left BS? I’m as liberal as it is possible to be and liberals, in general, are always questioning the dominant paradigm. Just quit with the “woke” BS.
@@theskyehiker Not in my experience and I'm 74 yo. Everything that the Left claimed the Right was going to do was exactly what they did after getting elected. I was 13yo when LBJ defeated B.Goldwater in '64. It didn't take long for LBJ and the shadow government's CIA to stage a fake attack on the USN in the Gulf of Tonkin. During the election I remember all the Democrats declaring that Goldwater was a war monger who would escalate the war in Vietnam which the Democrats would never do. Seems that pattern has been very successful and you lefties continue to lie and bully to this day.
Please stop making this political. Both sides are in bed with big food, big oil and big pharma. It's the ultra rich who want to keep us down by eating the SAD diet.
My 14 year old senior puppy is doing GREAT on the carnivore diet after she was on death's door on dog food. Threw that crap in the trash. As a low carber, I am vastly improved in sooooooo many areas, I am amazed and very disappointed in most of our current medical communitiies and the fake food industry.
Thank you Dr Hampton the are right👍👍
You are very welcome
Brilliantly stated Dr. Hampton!
Thanks.
All people do the right things for their situation.
- This Harvard professor receives money and status from the plant industry
- The normal people (SAD-eaters) are carb addicted, fooled by media and uncritical consumers
- Vegans are ideologically minded people who cannot free themselves from their dogmatic beliefs
- Free people are open to change and open to new ideas. Hence, a free thinker is able to become a carnivore when he starts to escape from mainstream narratives and when he starts to dig deeper into healthy nutrition.
We all have our constraints.
Some constraints come from within ourselves while others come from the outside.
Good is that we all will be happy with our so called “choices” and decisions. No matter if our choices make sense on an objective level, we will be happily promoting and defending them.
There are some communication problems with your statements. WTF are you trying to say? SAD is normal? Vegans are just lacking in brain power because of lack of saturated fat with plant based diet that makes the cognitive ability of the brain even worse. Is it normal for 77% of a population of mammals to be unhealthy and suffering a lot of ailments and early death which is the human condition in 2024 ? Almost nobody does the right thing for their health or welfare in the USA.This is clearly demonstrated because every town and city has an increasing population of homeless mental cases.
I allow my body to defend the carnivore way of eating. I share the knowledge and keep it short if people ask. I can assess a person's health within a few seconds of seeing them. This evolved knowledge is available to all carnivores. If a prey is exhibiting signs of weakness or inattentiveness it is potentially the next meat for us carnivores and if another species of carnivore has signs of weakness we will take it out which means more prey animals for us to eat. We humans really have no choice in what to eat. Anything other than meat is a clear choice to slow death which involves a lot of pain and suffering as well as mental torture.
On carnivore month 3. Lost weight fast. Very vasculated now. Lost my gut issues. Also recent I stopped having esophageal spasms I've had for a year and a half.
I don't need an overpriced Ivy League school to tell me anything. I've eaten the SAD, the low-fat diet, and carnivore. I always feel better when I eat a carnivore diet. So for me the proof is in how I feel!
As a carnivore for three months I am feeling a great deal better than I was eating the standard food pyramid . I am a type 2 diabetic blood sugars were varying between 16 and 19 normal being below 6. I developed peripheral neuropathy which spread gradually from my left foot to my right foot to my left hand and finally my right hand. And then started intensifying and crawling up to my knees and wrists I wore socks to help my feet and compression gloves to be able to sleep. The pain gradually increased to the point where I was taking too much over counter pain killers and asked the doctor for something stronger I got codeine and paracetamol to which I added aspirin . Restless legs at night because of the pain destroyed my sleep and my health was generally deteriorating. I had Angina, anxiety depression and high blood pressure among others. Now I have managed to drop most of my blood pressure meds and my blood sugar is solidly at 7.5 to 8 still not perfect but heading in the right direction! The anxiety angina and depression are things of the past and I sleep much better. The neuropathy is not gone but has reduced to the point where it if bearable. I also have fibromyalgia which has seriously limited my mobility but I find I can move better and stand for more than 20 seconds. My aim is to be medication free by the end of the year. Weight loss was not my aim but I do need it. I have lost round about 30 kg / 60 lbs maybe more but my scale died so not absolutely sure. All in all dropping the carbs has greatly benefited my health overall. I am 67 starting weight round about 137kg
great information again Doc. thank you. for everyone else, I have been high fat low carb for almost 10yrs now, after being stage 4 blood cancer TWICE in 2 yrs. it has kept me in remission, and thriving since.
Thank you so much for adding to the conversation DC
