In this video, Dr. Berg discussed the carnivore diet and how it conflicts with the recommended 7 to 10 cups of vegetables.
If you have bloating, constipation, SIBO, or any kind of digestive problems, you definitely don’t want to do a lot of vegetables. One of the benefits of a carnivore diet lowers insulin which could improve a lot of conditions.
Vegetable has Phytic Acid or IP6 is an anti-nutrient but it also has very powerful anti-cancer properties. Doing the carnivore diet will improve insulin sensitivity which is going to increase the absorption of all nutrients.

The carnivore diet got me away from the high oxalates I was getting from Vegetables. I was amazed how fast my arthritis in my toes and thumbs has improved. I was really suffering when trying to eat 7-10 cups of veggies a day. So glad I found Carnivore, it is a life saver for me.
That is so encouragin 😉 maybe I'll switch keto to carnivore but would like a few vegetables and fruits ?
@@sharonlee996 Thank you so much ! I know him and like what he is doing too... I saw a video about it today, that is why I come over here to see :P Thanks for the help, I appreciated :)
Good for you :) amazing decision
This month I’ve been transitioning from keto to carnivore… feel better on days with less vegetables.
Ken Berry changed his mind on vegetables.
Dr. Berg you are not acknowledging the bio availability differences between plant and animal vitamins. I have a video comparing "Vegan" vs. "Carnivore" nutrients.
I also just did a video comparing popular animal foods on the carnivore diet
Love You Frank keep the good work up
Attaboy Frank
This video was definitely influenced by your reply to his previous video.
MrKobayashi24
Exactly my first reaction!!
He’s trying hard Frank- give him a few months. Most of us eventually “saw the light” !!
Your comparison should include red meat, beef, lamb, goat, bison etc.
he cherry picked chicken and fish, and still used wrong data because fish is high in vitamin A and D
on a 1:1 comparison between beef liver and kale, liver wins in every aspect
He's flogging his kale supplements & doesn't want to affect sales of the stuff by revealing that it's not as bioavailable or nutritious as red meats (including their offal!)
As well as elk, moose, venison and other game birds.
@@felipe8511 Not in nutrients per calorie.
@@carinaekstrom1 nobody eats 500 to 1000 calories of kale a day
nutrient per calories is a falacy, the old broccoli protein vs beef protein per calorie thing
The Carnivore Diet is an elimination diet. I used it for a couple of months and then slowly introduced vegetables, dairy and nuts back into my diet. I found out dairy inflamed me, spinach and almonds. The later two are high in Oxalates so I went on a low Oxalate diet. I feel much better now and my gut doesn't hurt.
How long where you on carnivore diet to heal your gut?
And how did you introduced back foods:)
Yes tell us please
Why are you only comparing kale, chicken and fish?? Where's the beef??
Fish and bird has a little more protein. That and certain red meats he's not overly fond of.
What about eggs and raw dairy and oysters and all sorts of foods
@@scrubbasher raw dairy as in milk it can loss it's carb value if you leave it out at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. It's reduced but I haven't had a problem with it before
@@darkapothecary4116 yeah I drink raw milk, cows and goat it's great I can't drink supermarket milk it taste like sugar water of nothingness. I've drank raw cows milk when it's gone off and not taste that great and I didn't die :p
@@darkapothecary4116 also I not really scared of a bit of carbs from raw milk I'm only drinking about half a litre a day and I barely have any fat on me anyways so not for weight loss neither am I diabetic
As someone who spends alot of time outdoors, collecting wild edibles, I can guarantee you, even in the height of spring and summer, you will not find 7-8 cups of leafy greens a day, let alone for a group of humans. Most plants I consume outdoors in their primative form usually require leeching, cooking, or processing or they will kill you. Plants are something humans would eat opportunistically while trying to catch fish or game.
Honestly, practice bush craft, study and memorise natural edibles then go outdoors for 2 days trying to find them. Even after 4 years of doing this unless I come across maybe 2 cups at most even when I am spending all my time locating plants before heading back my camp at night.
Don't get me wrong, native edibles are probably some of the tastiest plants you will eat(sometimes dangerous if eaten too often), but meat, fish and sea food is going to be your vastly primary source of nutrients and calories.
Watch the TV series Alone, the contestants that lasted the longest in the wild were the ones who could obtain fish and meat. Even the ones who were very knowledgeable on plants starved until they quit or were pulled out.
A printscreen for my archive.... Good info mate!!!!!
I always wondered in the back of my mind (but never questioned out loud): "why dont i ever see broccoli or lettuce or cucumber or for that matter; any common vegetables in the wild?!"..... How natural are these vegetables anyway?!!!
@@Pilot333 They were natural plants, but have been selectively bred over hundreds or thousands of years.
Their natural forms were normally smaller and less pallitable.
Not a great argument. You are saying we should not eat 7-8 cups of readily available greens because it is difficult to find them in the wild if we were to live like our early ancestors. Im wondering what your motive was for commenting this. I mean you surely would have to agree that eating 7-8 cups of vegetables is in fact healthier than eating 1-2 cups of vegetables. What is your point here? Im confused.
@@cole20cole My point is humans have evolved for 2 million years, 4 million if you include homoerectus, We have evolved to ratios of food that has never included 8 cups of vegetable matter, because it is nearly impossible to collect that much vegetable matter in a day. Eat what we evolved to eat, do you think in the last 6,000 years we have evolved much since the advent of farming?
Most carnivore diets are primarily beef based (rib eye) and they add organ meats along with tallow. I believe you know this as you have been in their pod casts yet your video only compares kale to chicken and fish?
Also sardines have more calcium than kale. You completely over looked sardines.
yes - first mention of sardines - such a cheap wonderful food. I mix in a little olive oil and can easily go 23 hours - it also hides tastes like nutritious yeast when mixed in
@@hillwalker8741 I buy my sardines packed in olive oil from Costco, when I open a tin I cover the top with mustard which covers the fishy taste beautifully and makes for a very yummy meal.
@@dianejaquay I am getting my sardines packed in tomato - so I am getting my veggies right there LOL. Good idea if you can find them already in olive oil. But I can't so tomato it is and then I can add my high class olive oil - lucky I like the fish taste
animosity9 Yeah, he’s being disingenuous.
@Nostalgia well I think it's because I am fat and have switched entirely to fat burning via no carbs - you are right in that I do not intend to do this every 23 hours (every day)
Very upset that you didn't compare beef...one of the MAIN foods on carnivore. You didn't compare bone broth, or eggs either. I don't see this as a fair comparison!!!!
Not a competition. Everyone's body is different
If I was a carnivore I would not be eating too much chicken. So I agree he should have included beef and even eggs in his data.
@@terrimobley6067 Except I havnt seen one carnivore video promoting chicken or fish. Im guessing you might actually die from something called rabbit starvation from an all fish diet and maybe not far behind eating all chicken breast. Every carnivore diet I've seen suggest heavily eating beef and lamb followed by eggs and maybe some pork and chicken. The lion diet is pretty much all beef and lamb, salt and water
Carnivores advocate that the vitamins and minerals in vegetables do not have the same bioavailiability as the ones in meat.
He says everything in the video tho
thats only vitamin A, ALA and iron - but if you have a combo of both, you're good
@@MrMimlet I guess I'm insane, but I feel better. So I'll stay insane
@@user-ww4xs6dz7h me to i dont care what people say if they have never tried it before
They are right....
I love doing Carnivore which I just started about 1.5 months ago. I lost a little over 100 lbs just intermittent fasting before trying Carnivore but I was having enormous digestive issues that, though improved with the intermittent fasting, never went away and I couldn't figure out what exactly was causing the problem. I was afraid of Carnivore because I couldn't imagine my life without fruits/veggies but after reading so many success stories regarding how it cured digestive issues, I had to try, had to. The results have been absolutely amazing, amazing! All of my digestive issues have gone and it took less than a week and I had been suffering for YEARS!!! Nothing else came close. Weight is coming off again (I still have a bit more to go), I feel great, I mean really great! My cravings are totally gone and I don't even get hungry any more. I'm doing the rolling 72 hr fasts and it's so easy that I'm astonished!! I don't worry about calories or nutrients of any kind. I know, maybe I should, but I don't because even when I was eating fruits/veggies and taking vitamins every day, I didn't feel anywhere close to as good as I do now. So what is the truth? I don't know who to believe but I know what makes me feel great and it's the Carnivore diet so I'd be an idiot not to stick with it. If I should drop dead, I'll at least say I sure felt good up until I fell. I listen to the experts like the good Dr. here and others but if everything they say is right, why did I feel like crap? And now I feel fantastic and I'm 66 so it's not youth, lol! I'm staying with this until I either drop dead or I start not feeling well anymore. That sounds logical to me.
@Punisher Everything made me gassy...everything! Veggies and fruits and everything else and I was always in the restroom which was def not normal for me. I was burping these huge burps that seemed to come from way down deep...never experienced anything like it before. I was guzzling Pepto all of the time. Truly, overnight I could tell the difference once I started Carnivore and I'm still doing great. I still don't know why I was having the upsets but Carnivore has fixed it and I'm so glad.
@Punisher Thank you! It was hell, for sure, lol!!! I was getting worried but didn't want drugs so I was determined to try everything else and glad I stumbled across Carnivore. I resisted it for a while because I just thought it was so extreme plus I didn't know if I could stay with it but it has been amazingly easy and most importantly, it fixed my gut issues!
@@alexandraadams2070 what is your food menu. I want to do this but where do o start
Can you tell me what you eat
Uh oh.
You should eat vegetables because if you don’t eat vegetables then you’re not eating vegetables. That’s kind of the point.
You’re not having moderate protein if you eat more protein. That’s also kind of the point
By most accounts beef liver is the most nutrient rich and dense food on earth. Carnivores don’t eat lean chicken. If you want to know why moderate protein is not the answer take a walk into any nursing home in America.
Everyone relax. Eat whater makes you feel the best. There's room for us all.
I agree people get a bit too vehement in their diet camp but I think a lot of us are pointing out that Dr. Berg is not addressing the problem of bio-availability of the nutrients in plants as well as the fact that most carnivores eat primarily ruminants, which are much more nutritious.
I'm currently trying out carnivore, continuing the OMAD route. Week 1 I felt amazing. Week 2 wasn't as good and had me questioning. Week 3 returned to good and I'm almost 4 weeks in. My mood has been great since I started, even surrounded by stress I feel pretty grounded. I've also noticed a significant drop in pressure required on my CPAP machine which had been averaging 11 but has now dropped to 8.3.
What are you eattimg
I eat mostly meat and take the greens supplements by Dr. Berg. I feel great and the weight is just falling off. I also take the nutritional yeast since I am a gastric bypass patient (2001) and I take the gall gallbladder formula too. Not sure what diet you would call this but it is working for me and my husband. We have lost almost 80 lbs since November 2021 and we are in our late forties and early fifties. Thank you Dr. Berg! 🙏🏼❤️
Katina Harmon have you got a gallbladder still..I had mine remov3d and wondered if I went similar to you and your husband with mostly meat and eggs and supplement crucifer our veggies supplement if I could use the gallbladder formula when eating meat
good for you. You should eat meat, cut carbs, but still eat some vegetables because they give you very precious vitamins.
The omnivore diet is what I would call it.
Where is the comparison to red meat and and organ meats?
Okay guys - yes, this was not a complete evaluation of the foods on the carnivore diet (I will do this shortly). This video was mainly intended to give a few points, esp. for those who are attempting to do it with only muscle protein. To prevent problems, it needs to be done with organ meats. Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/0tKcFcdHyss/v-deo.html
then check out this comparison: ua-cam.com/video/2sFoaJbR4JI/v-deo.html
You're honest and fair on this topic. So thank you.
Just want to add my 2 cents as a medical professional, I have eaten the carnivore diet for over 14 years and have not eaten organs in that time and I am in perfect health and feel amazing with perfect bloodwork. If I liked liver I would eat it but I truly dislike it and can't imagine it is mandatory for optimal health at this point for me after not eating it for my whole life
@@carnivoredoctor Do you eat eggs? From what I see eggs can fulfill the same micronutrient needs as organ meats.
DR BERG Why are you juxtaposing kale, chicken, and fish on a carnivore diet? A more appropriate comparison for this dietary approach would involve kale, beef/pork, and fish. When considering Dr. Clemens' paleo keto diet recommendations, he emphasizes four-legged animals over chicken, which has led me to question the reliability of your information. It appears as if you might be advocating for a high-vegetable diet, which includes consuming ten cups of leafy greens that may potentially be contaminated with pesticides. It's essential to acknowledge that not everyone can cultivate their own produce or trust the organic label, as I've personally encountered seedless lemons in organic products, which raised concerns about GMOs. Trust in such food is only established when grown personally.
The comparison of chicken to beef is rather misleading in the context of the carnivore diet. It would be more pertinent to contrast the nutritional profiles of kale and fish with liver or beef for a more accurate assessment. Furthermore, I encourage a side-by-side comparison of your diet with the paleo keto diet to clarify any potential misconceptions. There seems to be an underlying perception that there is an agenda to promote veganism, and your diet might be perceived as partly aligned with this notion. I suggest examining your dietary recommendations against the diets typically followed by centenarians for a more comprehensive understanding.
That’s why I gave your video a thumbs down. I think this video should be taken down and redone. This was not a good and thorough video unfortunately. You have spent much more time on SMALLER matters. Most of our requirements for vitamins are much less on the carnivore diet.
Who knows, maybe we're not even fully absorbing the nutrients in kale or other green vegetables...
Right from the "get go", Dr Berg shows, once again, why he is the best! Instead of putting down an ideal or method other than his own, he's says, "Hey, give it a try and see if it works for you." . So refreshing and so different from almost everyone else! Thanks Dr Berg!
A lambs heart has 22% of VitC needed, and 357% of B12. Could you do a similar video using beef as a comparison as most Carnivores eat more beef and never lean chicken breast etc,? Thank you for this video though :)
I eat at least four raw egg yolks with cream every day. I'd love to see Dr. Berg compare kale to THAT. lol!
How about i eat your dogs heart and some livers? ;)
@@narekbones8961 We've been socialized to categorize animals in our culture and that's fine - as long as we live in a society with abundance we have the luxury to do that.
But if I didn't live in such a society, I would eat dogs, cats, bugs, and any other available source of nourishment. Most people on this planet have no choice. Only the very privileged of us have the option to make some animals off limits for nutritional purposes.
Just as a vegan would have to give up their lifestyle if they found themselves in a situation without supplements and ready access to imported, year-round , vegetables, fruits and grains. Or blenders and food processors to break though cellulose to access the nutrients in those foods.
@@vociferonheraldofthewinter2284 allright but what is the diffirence between a dog and a cow or a cat?
Also youre saying if the world wouldnt be as if it is we couldnt be vegan? Tell that to animals in wild : horses gorillas monkeys etc.We dont need meat to survive or any other animal products.Also every one needs some sort of supplements be vegan or carni or omni.
@@vociferonheraldofthewinter2284 also you dont need a blender...unless your teethlees
and also...if it hadn't been for your videos, I never would've learned about the Keto diet and I probably wouldn't even be alive today. I had been getting sicker and sicker and having less and less energy. I'd been having brain fog and terrible ADD, unable to focus enough to accomplish anything. I had anxiety, depression, etc. Your videos have helped me SO much and I appreciate you taking the time to make them! I also had severe ridges across my thumbnail...deep grooves going across it, and even my regular doctor had no idea what caused them and told me it was nothing to worry about!! A video of yours that informed me that it was a B1 deficiency changed my life. I added B vitamins to my diet and guess what...my nails are perfectly normal now!! Thanks to you, I no longer have anxiety attacks, insomnia, nail deformities, ADD symptoms and I have now lost 36 pounds. I have no cravings for junk food or carbs at all. I have no desire whatsoever for fast food. I feel like I'm finally getting my life back! So, thank you so much!
Cod liver and organ meat and raw fish have considerable amounts of vitamin C
Hey you only talked about chicken and fish...but displayed photos of mostly beef ...compare the nutrients from red meat as well...
its very similar
I was also more curious about grass-fed beef. I've done one month of carnivore and found my body craves beef. If I eat even fatty chicken or fish, they aren't satiating.
@@keshakellogg5995 I always add enough olive oil to my fish and chicken to balance the fat to the protein - then I am satiated
@@hillwalker8741 Just saw your comment. That's a great idea--thanks! I'm good with doing a modified carnivore diet and including olive oil, so I'll try that.
Thank you for speaking the truth, I hate it when other channels make it sound like the only diet in the world without any background information on nutrition.
I think everyone is free to choose the best diet that fits with your personal preference and your lifestyle ... I'm not against keto, carnivore, high carb, vegan, plant based, etc... Remember you are free to try every diet and choose the best alternative for you
Are carnivore macros are still like keto, but 0 carbs? Like 0/20/80, or 25/75? Or is it more like 60/40, 50/50? I'm on strict keto, but wan't to try a carnivore for week or two
To keep the “moderate protein” levels, I just still used the 75/25/0.
I put it on an excel spreadsheet, then made adjustments to foods and amounts to hit my macros for the day as my targets.
I wonder how our ancestors thrived without macros, etc.?
After reading and viewing MUCH information… I have come to the following conclusions (which are simply my own layman’s opinions):
1. Humans should probably eat only once a day, but no more than twice. Intermittent fasting is our natural state and our bodies truly thrive under these circumstances - including periodic prolonged, and occasional dry, fasting.
2. Humans are omnivores that have evolved to survive on any combination of animal and plant foods. Although we should probably eat approximately 90% animals and 10% plants… just like lactose, our bodies have evolved to tolerate more plants in our diet since the dawn of agriculture. (Population growth would not have been sustainable on animals alone IMO. The change was necessary for long term survival of the species.)
3. Today, each individual has different needs, comfort levels and tolerations - there is no single right or wrong way for everyone.
Therefore, I intend to alter my personal diet accordingly:
1. One Meal A Day most days. [Autophagy is of the utmost importance!]
2. Fresh, natural foods only - mostly animal-based.
3. Drink water, coffee, tea, milk only.
4. Minimize grains, starchy vegetables and sugary fruits as much as possible.
5. Eliminate processed or packaged foods, added sugars, and alcohol as much as possible.
6. Fast 1-2 days per week (water and dry fasting interchangeably).
However, the general public is too easily overwhelmed and confused, and has a total lack of self-discipline. This is where I believe all of you "experts" are missing the boat. Normal people leading normal lives need simplicity:
1. A single 4-6 hour eating window per day of 1 or 2 meals. The earlier the better (preferably before dark).
2. Eat any and all natural, fresh foods and drinks in any portions desired.
3. Minimize everything else (packaged foods, sweets, alcohol, etc) as much as possible.
If everyone could receive and live by these 3 simple guidelines, the world's overall health would improve drastically. KISS!!
Maybe you can do a video for normal people. 99% of us are not health nuts or gym rats. The strict regimens outlined by all of the "experts" are conflicting, confusing, and definitely overwhelming! Plus, most are presented as an "all or nothing" approach.
Give the world the easy answer... "How to live longer and healthy as a regular person!"
I agree that IF and minimizing sugars is a great way to get much healthier by stabilizing your blood sugar and moderating your calorie intake
Just by looking at the human teeth and digestive tract we are clearly Omnivores.
I'm 80% meat 20% vegetables....close to zero carbs as possible. I'm 54, no meds, 70 pounds down.
Yes and that is best for healthy people. Most people who need a carnivore diet are those with metabolic issues.
You are 20% vegetables? Do you mean that you eat 20% vegetables?
Hi there sir, I am planning to do the same. Which veggies can you recommend? I have no health issues, I can easily eat anything without discomfort, but I need to lose 20kg of fat...carnivore looks like a great way to do that.
Since I was a child my preference has always been for meat and cheese, I hated vegetables (except for maybe corn, which isn't even really a vegetable, it's a grain). I've tried many diets over the years, tried to force the veggies because I was told "you have to eat your veggies to be healthy", and my preference at age 60 is STILL for meat and cheese. I'm not eating 100% carnivore today because I love my coffee and I do add things like mustard and spices to my food, and I will admit a fondness for an occasional plate of mushrooms that have been cooked in butter (and mushrooms are not vegetables either lol!) All this to say I feel really great at 60 years of age, and definitely feel my best when I stick as closely to carnivore as possible. The only foods that have wrecked havoc on my body over the years have been the carbs I ate in my early years (caused some autoimmune diseases), and the veggies I tried to force myself to eat (cause me terrible, umm, bathroom issues shall we say). It's wonderful when you get to the point in life where you're willing to listen to YOUR OWN BODY!!
@@20alphabet Sarcasm right?
I agree. I have emotionally eaten since childhood. Am currently working on healing my body.
Good to know as I too enjoy adding mustard, my Herbs de Provence and I drink herbal teas all day depending on what the body seems need a hand with. I enjoy Primal Ketchup, the odd tomato & asparagus but sensitivities cancel many things including kale & Crucifers. Yes the tummy bloating is awful so I've added triphala & buffered C.
All my life I like donuts and cookies so it should be healthy right? Wrong eat your veggies with meat for a balanced diet. If your gut hates veggies it's because all the grains you eat damaged you need to fast. Try one meal a day and a 48 hour fast every 3 months. Your gut will appreciate it and correct itself
@@williamgomez5876 it's been 4 years since I wrote my original comments, I'm 64 now and my health has steadily improved. I still eat mostly a carnivore diet, and based on my own experience will continue to do so. Everyone's experiences vary of course, but what I'm doing is working for me.
I appreciate this video Dr. Berg. I do agree as you stated that a carnivore diet may work for some. Just as I believe that a vegan diet may work for some. We should listen to our bodies and be humble enough to realize that what may be working for a time may not work for the long haul. Again being willing to change things up if needed. Regarding SIBO; I struggled for years before figuring out that I had SIBO and had also developed several food sensitivities. I had attempted to alter my diet several times but what really helped me was taking 2 drops of therapeutic grade oregano oil in a tsp of olive oil 1-2 times a day for about 2 weeks with drinking 2-4 ounces of plain Aloe Vera juice 1-2 times a day. Slow motility is often a contributing factor so NOT snacking is critical along with digestive enzymes, ACV and or HCL with pepsin and bile salts to help with digestion. I then realized that I really needed to focus on the stress in my life along with balancing my hormones and healing my cells. I can now eat my Healthy Keto plan without pain and get my 7-10 cups of vitamin, mineral and phytonutrient rich veggies in each day and the food sensitivities have cleared up! Thank you Dr. Berg
Can you give me a picture of what this looks like..
You said you balance your hormones and dealt with your stress..
Like give me details from the time you get up til the time you go to sleep your eating routine…the vitamins you take…
You mentioned a lot of stuff how to do you incorporate that into your daily life
Well Dr. Berg I have literally eliminated veggies over the last two months and love it. I don't think you need as much nutrients on a carnivore diet because they don't deplete as quickly from what I have read. I have noticed from others such as myself that it is a lot of people coming over from the Keto/IF fasting community so when we eat we are not eating a lot of protein because I do one(OMAD) solid high fat protein meal and I am good. The nutrient dense like eggs, Ghee, Oysters, Sardines, olive oils with muscle meats and so far so good in my eating windows and so far so good.
I share the same logic. Thx
Do you use any diet book?
We've been grinding organ meats in with beef and don't even notice the difference.
Thanks to you Dr berg I lost 40 Kilos in one year doing Keto and OMAD.
I might try carnivore diet to burn my last stubborn fats.
I am 2 years on keto now but going slowly to carnivore never felt better, eat meat make babies
make families, love animals, harvest vegetables, feed the animals, nourish our family with animals, and let our dead body return to the nature after we'd passed away
I lost 30lbs of fat in 3 months on this diet with some intermittent fasting. Greens and meat only 2 to 3 times a day.
Excellent ! 👍
Perfect diet to me. My is fish, chicken, pork or steak on the Georgeforman grill with 5 cups of salads 3 times a day. Also 32oz lemonade 3x a day with 2 multivitamin 3x, ACV pills 3x, probiotic 1x, vitamin E 3x, Magnesium 1x and 3000mg of potassium. No eating between 6pm and 12pm except some pecans at night to stop some hungry. Thats zero sugar, zero unhealthy fats to cure my fatty liver but also to improve my overall health. (Temporary deit for only six months)
How much meat and what kind of greens were you eating?
Dr Berg -
People don't focus on Fish and Chicken all that much on a carnivore diet so let me inform you on what the dominant fuel source on a carnivore diet is pork and beef
Potassium
8oz beef - 720mg +
8oz pork - 900ish
I understand your intent to put out good information but I would hope that you wouldn't try to detract from something just because it's your video and you want people to eat more vegetables and that's kind of what I see from time to time instead of being completely neutral about it
Great info as usual! Thanks doc!
love you doc, but most carnivore people doing beef.
I’ll just stick to my Carniveggie diet thank you very much. It works amazing!! 😁🥩🥦🥑
great video Dr Berg, BUT, can you add Pork, Eggs, Grass Fed Beef & Liver to your columns? I think most that follow your advice (like me) do not eat much chicken as its very low in fat typically and fish is as well. Maybe, carnivore is advisable for shorter duration (up to 30 days) to kick things into overdrive if you are very insulin resistant? Especially if you are plateaued or have a very slow metabolism. What do you think? BTW, I've lost 85 lbs (half way to goal) and my 16 yr old son has lost 60 lbs in the last 2 yrs following your advice.
I briefly steam kale and cabbage, blend them with immersion blender, then mix some of that with my serving of bone broth. Among other benefits, it has cured my stubborn and chronic constipation.
Felt terrific while in ketosis. Very difficult to maintain those ketones, consuming all that protein. Once eliminating ALL vegetables, I lost that 'edge' and became constipated, BIG time! Also sleep pattern got disrupted. If I go back to strict carnivore, I'll know to stick with the super fatty cuts and avoid the Fillet Mignons, Flank Steaks, Sirloins, chicken breasts, Halibut, etc. For now I'll be strategically adding back certain veggies. Everybody's biochemistry is a little bit different, so I don't think one size fits all..
Constipation on carnivore = not enough fat.
@@damiendegrasse Lol I mega dosed on fatty steaks and even ate fat trimmings from my farmer and was still constipated from carnivore. I'm like the guy above, I have to have some fiber in my diet
Going to be 2 months on carnivore now and my constipation is going better now that I ask the butcher to process 1/2 of fat people ask to remove and 1/2 of meat I want to mix with it. Feeling a lot better now.
why not compare straight across if you are trying to be fair in comparison? 3oz of meat has far more nutrients than 3 oz of kale...
I suffer excruciating inflammation and abdominal pains whenever I eat any kind of vegetables. Broccoli gives me inflammation everywhere! If I stick to pork (which has more potassium than beef) and live on bacon and eggs, I'm fine. I feel great, I lose weight and I can eat supper at 5pm and not be hungry until noon the next day. I have coffee and cream around noon and I'm good until supper. I use No Salt in my eggs, which is just potassium chloride. I'm still not getting the amount of potassium I need, but I've found that if I get too much potassium, I get pains in my stomach. I take a magnesium 500 every morning and take it with citric acid to help absorb it. I'm actually feeling so much better than I ever have eating vegetables. I'm also sleeping a lot better and having way more energy.
Lizzie, there is a study which shows that bacon protects against carcigens. Dr Shawn Baker mentioned it in his recent video.
@@peopleddiagram2920 😮
apparently the MDA (min daily req) for most supplements is less when you are no longer burning sugars but burning fats. That explains why I feel fine on way less than 7-10 cups of veggies
Its not just how much nutrients a food item has, its also how much you can absorb from that food item
I'm starting this on December 1st. I don't want to eliminate veggies from my diet, but I'm dropping all plant and dairy other than butter, for 90 days...then going to reintroduce veggies to see what my reaction is to them. I have chronic rhinitis and a lot of allergies to seasonal/outdoor stuff and dust (house dust) and mold. But I suspect that there are significant food issues with my sinuses. This is an elimination diet for me. By March/April I hope to know the veggies that I can start planning for our own summer garden. I am one that also has sluggish digestive system and too many veggies do a number on me. I plan to do more microgreens/sprouts once I do kick back into greens again. I will be stopping the wheat grass juice for this time, but plan to continue with your electrolytes. I need to keep up the Vitamin D/K combo you provide also. Organ meats are NOT going to be in my diet...can't do it...just can't even tolerate the idea. I wish I could, but my mind won't adapt to new sensibilities where organ meats are concerned...oh well.
Update?
Good info, as always! 👍
grass fed broiled beef strips wrapped heavily in lake and green leaf lettuce with strips of kimchee (no sugar in kimchee ingredients) layered next to the beef strip.
Thanks for keeping an open mind. Can you dig into the plant toxins that are naturally found in many or all vegetables and fruits?
Man, Dr Berg-you are an ocean of knowledge.
great episode yet again!
Awesome info! As usual thank you so much!!
Dr Berg, I have watched a lot of your videos for a quite sometime. You have been an inspiration to me and thousands of others. Thank you for all the time you have put into making these videos. I usually think you are spot on and I'm not sure why you missed the mark here. From reading a lot of the comments I'm sure you're thinking that also. To not have Ribeye/Beef next to Kale instead of Chicken completely gave me brain lock. One of your comments on chicken haunts me every time I think of the thousand pounds of chicken I have eaten in my 57 years. Even not eating Grass Fed Beef bothers me from trying to adhere your advice. But a good Ribeye even when not Grass Fed along with Eggs, aged cheese and a cup of bone broth is so much more appealing than the hundreds of Kale, Broccoli, Nutritonal Yeast, Collagen Powder Shakes I have tried to enjoy. Thank you again and maybe you can address this today on your show.
I agree with you. I thought the same thing. Why not use beef AND chicken, if fish is included as well. I believe that beef would have had much better numbers than the chicken.
@@cindymillis4975 i love beef, but chicken + beef might be too much protein?
I like beef + eggs more
I love chicken but I dont eat it often as I found its not as easy to get fat from other sources if you eat to much chicken since its protein rich
que exagerado ... los extremos nunca seran buenos
Ok then - let me be the one to throw down the gauntlet.
On many occasions you have mentioned - ”I do better on a combination of meat & veg”.
Not once have you mentioned that you have tried pure carnivory for an extended period.
I AM NOT having a shot at you - in fact, I RESPECT greatly the fact that you have helped so many people to get away from sugar, carbs and processed garbage “food”.
But now - try only animal product nutrition - and report back (let’s say) - in 2 months - with your experiences.
Been on carnivore diet for 8 months. I am 44 and just ran a 22min 5km split a day after deadlifting 170kg, and have gone from 89kg to 79kg. This diet will change your life and change the way you view many beliefs, such as the ludicrous food pyramid we were taught as children
Hi Dr Berg, thanks for the great video. Just wanted to clarify..are fermented vegetables anti-nutrient? And do you know of others? Thanks
5 cups of Kale! My stomach will only hold between one and two cups of anything ...❤️🇺🇸
Then don't eat it, if you have SIBO or another gut issue DON'T eat vegetables until it's fixed, in fairness he explains this very well on this and other videos, just because atm you can't eat a certain food it doesn't mean it's the devil and you should avoid it forever.
@Solidsilenceful lol
I’ve started carnivore kale was making me sick my joints would hurt my tongue and felt tired. I could eat lettuce but not kale and same with spinach I’m fine with broccoli occasionally. Since starting red meat and eggs I noticed I have more energy no joint pain better eye sight and happy emotionally. I also take liver supplements atm and wanting to start cooking liver and added fish oil and chicken in my diet. I’m also tanning that lovely to show my vitamin D.
I do eat nuts I’m not strict carnivore and been in keto a few month now I’m heading towards carnivore more. I believe plants are making me sick as I was vegan once and I felt so sick even though I looked after myself I was killing myself.
I listen a lot to doctor berg but some diets or feeding habits don’t suit others. Carbs messed me up so really lowered them o. Meats
That was very helpful, thank you!
Thank you for being honestly. I think kale is one of the best veggies. I'm a vegan one and I say thank you.
After having great success on Keto without including veggies I decided to start eating veggies in November of 2016. I ate mushrooms and lots spiniach almost every single day till September of this year. For me 7-10 cups a day = lots of huge kidney stones, surgery and made me question all this wonderful talk of veggies. The Dr. does the surgery then hands me this list of what not to eat and tells me that meats are okay to eat but most veggies are not. But then on the other hand they say meats and fat will kill you. Listen to Keto people and they say eat meats, fats and veggies. Carnivor says nope, veggies will hurt you so only meat. I lost 240 pounds on Keto and have kept it off but trying to get others in my family to loose the weight they need to has failed because you can not get a striaght answer on what is right or wrong. I think you have to just try it all out on your own, keep notes and see what works and what doesnt for you.
You're exactly right not everybody is the same Different Strokes for different folks
See...that's the thing; I agree. Some people try to package something into a 1 size fits all. This can't be done. Genetics, regions of the world, life styles, etc etc.....all come into interacting with one another. Some people really need to use their own noggin and stop being led around by the nose.
Comparing volume (1 cup kale) with weight (3 ounces meat) is not the clearest way to get your point across. Only by watching hundreds of your videos do I know that 1 cup of leafy greens is about 1 ounce. It is always best to compare things head to head, namely, weight with weight, volume with volume, percentage with total amount, etc.
Perfect timing! I started carnivore just 2.5 weeks ago hopefully to get a handle on IBS symptoms. If nothing else this process is an elimination diet so if I add back in items I can see what triggers a problem. So far it's going well.
Good info... Adding to my options. I haven't checked but.. what are effects of your wheat grass juice powder as far as compensating for a low fresh veggies diet?
I like a lot of your stuff Dr Berg, but I honestly think you should eat what makes you feel the best, I think stress from mental thoughts are far more powerful and increase longevity more so than food does. Stress is the ultimate killer and until you reprogram your subconscious mind to good thoughts, you will never reach your optimal health no matter what you eat. I ate the most nutritious foods and got worse and worse and nothing improved until I stopped caring about what I ate, how sick I was, and what others thought and expected of me. I was literally on my death bed and thought any day I was gonna die, I'm 29 years old. Buddha, Jesus, all the religions that preach about meditation and just being and not worrying about things, are the most important thing to be healthy, the mind is far more powerful than anything on this earth. It can kill you and it can heal you and I'm living proof of that, I feel better as a carnivore too so if I die ima die feeling better instead of miserable and eating meat tastes a lot better than greens, plus I haven't had a kidney stone being a carnivore. Keto gave me my first one because of that the greens, the stress prolly aided in it as well because when we stressed none of our bodily organs function properly.
You can't not stress if you're deficient in nutrients and minerals. In fact when you are truly healthy you don't get stressed out, you deal with even difficult things with a lot of ease, that's how we are supposed to be in nature. So telling someone to simply "not stress" and be careless about their diet is terribly stupid.

If you start seeking good thoughts, you better be ready for bad thoughts as well. Mind has no boundaries. Egoistic mind always gets caught in the opposites like likes/dislikes, good/bad, love/hate, profit/loss, beauty/ugly. No matter what life throws at us, if we can face it without getting swayed by opposites of life, then we are at the highest level of consciousness. Only thing which separates us (microcosm) from cosmic consciousness (macrocosm) is our ego.
It is never human vs nature or universe. It is always human = universe. It means everyone must seek personal and universal ethics/balance. Violation of personal and universal ethics/balance leads to more cause and effect or karma which leads to individual ego identity or independent existence or reincarnations. So, if we eat a vegan diet just for our hunger, then there is no karma or cause and effect. Eating carnivore diet violates both personal and universal ethics/balance especially when there is availability of vegetables. Ultimate goal of humans is to become one with the cosmos (based on hindu metaphysics) which will put an end to karma or cause and effect or independent human existence or cycle of birth and death or reincarnations. Christian salvation is different.
@@maggotmeatballz2692 you need to learn more about the mind, don't tell me you have to eat this or that, I ate every super food under the sun and nothing helped until my mind state changed because your body responds and acts according to your subconscious mind. In serious learn more about your mind the more you stress mentally the more nutrients you need. You have to learn to be uncomfortable to allow the stress that is stuck in the body to be released. You have to accept the pain or discomfort and not focus on it. You can believe what you want to but I know for a fact my health never improved until I got away from negative people and changed my mind state to gratitude instead of focusing on what was wrong and what hurt. Literally anything is possible with the mind, you just have to learn to train it and train it every day.
@@Dharmicaction let me ask you this then buddy, when every vegetable you eat blows your guts out, what do you recommend someone eat, and the Bible even says God favors fatty meat over vegetables. And our ancestors lived on animals before there was civilizations. Plus plants are living as well, so no matter what you eat, you are killing life. The vegan agenda is your belief and in my opinion is poison to your body. Like I said, I feel better as a carnivore than I do eating plants and at least I'll die feeling better.
@@user-ww4xs6dz7h There's no arguing with a fool. Just go ahead and start building your house by the roof... I don't care, but don't complain when your "mind" can't heal your wasted body.
My carnivore diet consists of good quality ground beef cooked in grass fed beef dripping. Raw eggs mixed with raw milk, some raw grana padano lactose free parmesan type cheese and occasionally I'll eat a mango because we have a mango tree out the back of our house and they taste awesome.
No problems so far, I don't really like the idea of just eating muscle meat and am going to try get some liver into me but not really worried as the diet is a lot more nutrious then the sugar/carb diet I was on before.
Been on diet about a year now.
I am so glad to hear you open your mind and heart for the keto version of the carnivore diet for the right reasons. No need to eat so much protein. Just up your fats to 220g for women and 320g for men and keep the protein at about 10oz for women per day and 14oz for men per day. THAT BEING SAID,.,., kale is hard on the thyroid. I am dead serious. That is all :-)
Can you please make a video on sodium and potassion on carnivore, alot of people are consuming tiny amounts of salt and potassium on it and still doing fine after a really long time. why? DR BERG
Crazy Carnivore because it works....And they might not be exercising hard....I still supplement with electrolytes on gym days
@@qthirteen13 can you say more about your electrolytes? do you make it, or what brand, how much is in it, etc? thanks if you reply.
They probably don't exercise, sweat, or drink caffeine otherwise idk how the hell it would work. Our bodies are used to/made for lots of salt and low salt diets can cause tons of problems for the function of body.
Torontogirl True, it’s the overly processed table salt that causes inflammation
Torontogirl sea salt is. Not the glass filled Morton table salt with flow agents.
Thanks for this. I would have been interested to see beef on that comparison chart.
I was keto and have switched to carnivore and feel twice as good! I shed 5 seconds off my mile and I'm stronger in the gym! There's so much info on diet that I now just eat what makes me feel great. I don't eat much lean meat, but rather lots of red meat which is strange, but it works!
So, no fruit or vegetables whatsoever?
@@lukehunnable When, I cheat on my diet I drink whiskey and beer only.
Generally red meat is way more nutritious than farm raised poultry. So why not compare kale with beef/deer brain or liver
How do you measure a cup of greens? Is that packed, loose or chopped?
I couldn't imagine doing the carnivore diet long term but I'm beginning a month trial because I'm desperate for some relief. I've tried everything and my stomach issues are getting to the point of unbearable.
Same. I'm just starting. How did it go for you?
Doesn't cod liver oil and sardines have vitamin d?
This should have been done comparing grass fed beef and organs and eggs I don't know any carnivores who even eat chicken it's at the bottom of the carnivore food chain. Fish yes but not chicken.
Question: How do you measure a cup of vegetables? Serious question, I usually weigh my vegetables in grams, I think this way measures quantity more accurate based on weight than volume. Here’s why, when you place vegetables in a cup there is loads of free air space, one piece of Kale could take up the whole cup, if you chop up the Kale your weight quantity will increase but the one cup volume remains the same but the total grams per cup shot up. Therefore do you chop, press down, loosely pack or what is your method to be balanced and accurate? Thank you in advance, I track everything I eat so this is important so I don’t mess it up.
Please
I miss the red meats, the organ meats, the bone broth, dairy.... in this video. I don't understand why you push veggies that much.
Been thinking I'm probably a bit on the low end with my vegetable/leafy greens, been trying to up it a bit. Got a giant bag of kale, but if it's 6g per cup, better just keep doing what I'm doing since even just 5 cups is already 30g of carbs. Everything seems good, weight is coming off, feeling fine... losing more slowly now, but 60+ lbs since early August isn't bad. Actually do prefer to slow down a bit although it's not as exciting when I get on the scale. Still, a few lbs a week adds up, even if I'm not dropping 10 or more like before. And this is with minimal exercise, so imagine if...
David Benkendorf the leafy greens don’t count for carb because of the fiber.
@@christinerobinson890 I just keep it really simple, I know it's not net carbs per serving, but I don't know and don't try to figure out what the effective carbs are... I don't count calories at all either, but I know I stay very low. Even if it's not effectively 6g, but only say 2... that's still 14-20g for 7-10 cups without even adding in the other beneficial things I am eating, and I try to keep it on the low side of the 20-50g range
0% vit. D and A in fish ? Thought the fat contained at least some Vitamin A and D, not 0% anyway (a quick search on Google: Salmon fillet has 142% DV (28μg) vitamin D per 6oz fillet). Plus the carnivore diet also includes animal fats (tallow, pork fat ..), there's you vit. D and A
Considering a carnivore diet for a month or two. Question: How should I reincorporate veggies back into my diet when that month or two is completed?
TBH, Kale is disgusting. 😣
7-10 cups of vegetable!! No way.. I'll go for raw eggs, beef heart and lamb liver. All done in less than 10mins and good to go for 10 hours till the next meal.
Lol...disgustingly healthy 😂
I’ve been doing Keto and OMAD for 4 months and my constipation is very bad. I’m going to try the carnivore diet for a little while in the hope that it will reset my gut health.

Hows you doing?
Thanks for elaborating.
Can you do a video on the benefits of sulforaphanes in cruciferous vegetables? I heard that it has a lot of cancer fighting properties.
This video is a good start, but I'd like to see more.
I wish you would have compared kale with beef, pork, bone broth, and eggs.
Feed your meat 7-10 vegetables a day, then eat them. 😭
Lmao
Thank you for posting an honest comparison, it would have been better for you to skew the numbers somehow, but you presented the facts
Almost no one on a carnivore diet eats much chicken or fish. How does kale stack up against grass Fed beef?
Sad not able to buy romaine etc. Due to ecoli outbreak...what to do untill you can
News last night said we're all clear to buy romaine!
Rita LaFleur not sure if romaine is available yet. They had to grow a new crop. I’m eating spinach and green leaf lettuce.
Dr. Berg, none of the nutrients in plants do a body any good if they can't be broken down and absorbed. For me, 1 cup of kale is like eating Styrofoam. Throw in the fact that I had so many food intolerances to different plants (and insoluble fiber in general) and there was no way to figure out which was what by the process of elimination. I had to eliminate ALL of them, then reintroduce.
PLEASE hear me, sir. You're a good man. Intelligent and curious. Please open your mind just a little. It's important that you do, because you have many of the other keys to putting this wellness puzzle together. Without you and the gallbladder formula, I wouldn't be where I am.
Teach people how to do it right. Create a Dr Berg Carnivore Multivitamin and Mineral. A Dr Berg Phytochemicals for Carnivores if you feel that they are that important. Heck, I'll buy it!
You keep saying that 'I haven't seen a study' showing the harm of vegetables, but if all the researchers think like that, those studies will never be done. NONE of my doctors considered that it was the 7-9 cups of veg I was eating that was making me sick. And I've got a pretty good team. Three gastros didn't make that connection. Two specialists in colorectal surgery didn't put that together. (One actually recommended that I eat MORE fiber. I followed her suggestion and nearly died.)
And the veggies were hurting me. I'm getting better just by eliminating most plants. How many other people are suffering because no doctor will even consider that plants could be connected to their illness? How many of your patients have unrelenting lower back pain that doesn't respond to physical therapy or steroid shots, or pain management?
*90% of my lower back pain turned out to be referred pain from the gut.* Went away when I eliminated plants and my intestines began to heal. Took two weeks. I was NOT anticipating that at all.
Here's my story. I put it separate because it's TL:DR
On the keto with lots of veggies, I totally reversed my PCOS and pre-diabetes. I had "beautiful" insulin levels. But I also had the worst diarrhea for 19 years (IBS). That developed to an ulcerated rectum (it's as unpleasant as it sounds) and that led to three operations. I lost my gallbladder. The poor thing was full of white blood cells and histamines in the muscle tissue. I developed Scleroderma and had constant malnutrition. The fibro and joint pain was unbearable. Constant lower back pain crippled me. And this was clean keto. I did it right. I had dropped 20 pounds from surgeries, with keto I dropped another 30. So I'm NOT bashing keto, but it did not get me home.
ONE WEEK of eating carnivore and I lost 6 inches off my waist in inflammation. (I maybe broke wind once a month, so I can't say it was gas. And yes, I was taking a variety of probiotics.) It took 3 months for my guts to heal completely and for the bleeding to stop. I was heading back for butt surgery #4 and if that didn't work, the only thing left was a colostomy bag. I don't need to do that now. My joint pain is gone and my scleroderma is in remission. Not only that, but after three months the hard, abnormal skin is starting to soften. One of my knuckles is almost completely back to normal. Fibro pain is about 50% improved and that's a miracle. Calcium deposits in my skin have dissolved. (Thanks to not eating oxalates) GERD is gone.
I discovered that 90% of my lower back pain was referred pain from my gut and so that improved more than I would ever imagine. I was heading to an implanted TENS unit. (I say again, *HOW MANY OF YOUR PATIENTS HAVE UNEXPLAINED LOWER BACK PAIN THAT ISN'T RESPONDING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY?* Had to put that in all caps to get your attention. That can be the only symptom of serious bowel dysfunction.)
I added your gallbladder formula and that's added another dimension of wellness. THANK YOU for that! That was where my digestion turned the corner completely. I am taking electrolytes because that problem didn't get better. I'm not overeating protein. I keep it around 45-60g and I eat quite a bit of fat. Egg yolks (they're the closest to complete nutrition of any food) and a little liver are my multivitamin. I do take a complete vitamin C once a week or so. I'm taking FEWER supplements than I was on plant-heavy keto. My gut was so damaged that I couldn't even get to the stuff in the pills. If I feel well, I'll get a nutrient panel at the one year mark. If something is off, I'll do it sooner. We'll see how that goes.
About two months ago, I began to reintroduce foods. I've found out that I simply cannot eat very much insoluble fiber at all. Soluble fiber seems fine so I have coconut keto bread. The list of things that I can't eat is too long. I have 2 herbal teas that work, some dairy is okay, a little herbs and spices seem fine... not much else. Right now I have enough variety to keep me content and my body is still healing.
I was so close to dying when I switched from keto to carnivore. I am not kidding. The scleroderma was in full roar and my vascular system was being destroyed. The swelling in my legs would not go down and that was unrelenting pain. (My legs are pretty again! Got the gams on this girl!) My gut was killing me. Inflamed from my throat to the other end. My liver was enlarging, spleen swollen, skin tightening to the point where I could no longer smile.
Carnivore saved my life. I'm still disabled, but I'm getting better and better every day. I'm feeling joy again. Having good, productive days again. I have hope again.
1) Yes on the cold Climate. Mostly Germanic with a lot of Irish and a touch of British, Scandinavian, and less than one percent Bali Indian. (We actually know where the Indian came from. Huge misunderstanding.)
2)- 1/3rd of my maternal family has an undiagnosed genetic condition that makes it impossible for us to do cardio, allows us to slip into ketosis in one day just with carb restriction, and causes bouts of periodic paralysis and seizures with hypoglycemia. We have no idea what it is (doctors are no help), but we've all developed coping mechanisms that get us by. So that issue kicked in around the age of ten for me. (If anybody has a clue what this might be, I'll hear it. There's about 20 individuals who have to live with it.) It causes muscle spasms, weakness, muscle pain, and chronic fatigue. That's not going away with any med or diet. Oddly, we're all very strong. We develop muscle bulk weirdly fast and have extra ATP energy. My son had a 36 inch standing vertical jump with no training. If we're careful and slow, we can do really well with weightlifting. We just don't seem to have much glucagon or we can't use what we have. I don't know. A ketogenic diet does help my symptoms quite a bit, but the rest of the family stubbornly refuses to give up their sugar energy. We get hypoglycemia very easily and the symptoms of low blood sugar are severe, including perodic paralysis and seizures. So getting fat-adapted is a nightmare. (That keeps me with keto!) All of those affected have at least one autoimmune disease that develops later.
- When I entered my 20's I got into "healthy" eating. The slow decline began from there. By 2000, my gut gave out completely and I've had IBS since. In 2012 I had a 12-level spinal fusion to correct an old injury and that triggered the full-blown Scleroderma. I can see now that I had the vascular symptoms, calcium deposits, and some skin issues before that, but it was mild until the surgery. With all that, I didn't get a diagnosis until last year. (Couldn't find a doctor who took any of my symptoms seriously or was curious enough to run tests. The few who took a half-hearted stab at it just looked at hormones.)
3) I'm pushing 50 and I am female
4) - all meats
- eggs cooked and raw egg yolks (I cannot tolerate raw egg whites)
- hard cheeses, butter, heavy cream
- lard
- monkfruit sweetener (no sugar alcohols. they are not safe for me)
- spices and herbs
- coconut flour
- psyillium husk powder
- baking soda/baking powder/salt
- a little potato starch to thicken soups, stews, and gravy
- herbal teas and coffee
- some extracts to make my homemade keto ice cream pop sickles (I don't eat this every day)
- when necessary, BTB broth (I don't like bone broth - even the stuff I make. This doesn't appear to cause harm)
- electrolytes daily. Either Drip Drops (7g carbs) or I make my own out of calcium citrate, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium citrate, potassium citrate - the citrate is to address the calcium deposits and oxalte problem)
- for supplements: A C-plus citrus bioflavonoid cap a week, desiccated liver caps, Dr Berg's gallbladder formula with meals, digestive enzymes to assist my pancreas, P5P and biotin to help me cope with oxalate detoxification (the deposits are completely gone after 12 weeks so I'll stop those soon)
5) I now do Intermittent Fasting daily because I'm not hungry until evening. I've recently started skipping a day here and there of eating because I'm not hungry and my body is content. When I'm hungry, I eat. Although I want to lose weight, I don't want to do that at the expense of my health, so I don't deny myself. If I find myself hungry at noon, I'll eat. The fasting appears to be a natural byproduct of being well-nourished and eating enough protein and fat. If I have symptoms of deprivation (shaking, brain fog, fatigue, etc) and I'm not hungry, I will eat anyway, but that doesn't appear to be problem for me right now.
- I believe that the fasting is what is causing the skin regeneration. I still have the tough skin from the Scleroderma. When the fasting happened, those spots started to soften within the first week
I'll be happy to answer any questions that anybody has. I don't have all the answers, I'm just putting together the puzzle for me and maybe a few of my relatives. I don't know if my formula will work for anybody else, but here it is.
@@andrewstrakele6815 I didn't want to share this, but in hindsight, it really is important. I'll swallow my embarrassment in case it can help somebody else.
To heal the bleeding ulcers in the lower part of my gut, I did enemas of butryate and L-glutamine in an MCT oil/butter matrix. I found a study where they had a resolution of symptoms for 90% of patients who suffered from ulcerative colitis in the lower part of their colon and rectum with butryate and L-glutamine enemas, so I tried it. Within a week, the problem was solved and a year and a half of bleeding, pain, a prolapsing went away. Three surgeries and keto didn't stop it. Carnivore plus this did. Now I'm still doing a small daily dose (about 2 tablespoons of the oil) to maintain.
I don't believe that this would've worked had I not already had improvements with the diet. I was already better and the oil mix was the final step.
When you're desperate, you'll try anything. smh
Hmmm many people switching from keto to carnivore. Think I will try it out as it seems like I will feel even better with zero based carb diet.
Good answer Dr. Berg! Spot on.
How many time have you said in your videos "chicken is the worst"
Answer: A lot !
But still it's a good video. Just a little pro veg, just a little bit. But it is after all, it is yours video.

I understand that vitamin C is found throughout the fat in meat
Vitamin c is water soluble so it wouldn't really be in fat. Muscle meat and organs have water so they also have vitamin c, it just gets destroyed when you cook meat.
I’m a firm believer that salads, and semi cooked veggies are really hard for our bodies to digest. Fermented(Basically pre-digested) veggies are the key to the bioavailability of micro nutrients. These veggies will have zero effect on blood sugar, and insulin, and the fermentation process breaks down the cellulose (which our large intestine can’t break down) tremendously. Making it soluble enough, giving our bodies a chance to break it down, and Ferment it further into short chain fatty acids. Making all those good micro nutrients bioavailable. I’m clearly not a doctor but i know personally un-fermented veggies, kale , and other greens make me bloated, and feeling like crap. A good serving of kimchi, pickles, or sauerkraut, makes me feel fabulous, and helps keep things moving; without bloating and misery.
What kind of saurkaut and pickles?
I was checking the third study you mention, but I did not see how much longevity exactly is lost from a higher protein diet (weeks, months, years, etc.) Also, I don't know what foods were the participants having exactly, could be healthy food or junk food.
Who could hate broccoli and avocadoes?
People with sulfur intolerance could hate broccoli and people with histamine intolerance could hate avocados.
Siim Land Agreed! ...a lot of people out there still don’t have a clean palate and can’t taste the real flavour of most real foods.
Daniel Mijatović I love and appreciate virtually all fruits and vegetables in the world. But only if they are home or local grown organic from good quality soil.
I love both but Broccoli causes me a lot of bloating,so it’s not about hate it’s about what your body tolerate:)
Daniel Mijatović I like broccoli or Brussels sprouts in many ways, mostly sautéed with ginger, coconut oil, liquid aminos and tapioca. Also great with cauliflower rice AKA caulirice.
Talk more about the anti- nutrients in these veggies and what they do to your body. The nutrients in plants are meant for the PLANTS.
I agree with some of the comments and wondered, also, why he keeps saying "Carnivore Diet" and showing red meat in the pics, but only uses chicken and fish for his comparisons. Every "expert" who discusses/follows the Carnivore Diet typically only refers to eating red meat and focuses much less on chicken and fish as part of that diet. In fact, many on the Carnivore Diet ONLY eat red meat! They do, however, encourage eating organ meats, particularly liver, but there are some wonderful dried organ supplements on the market. One doc I listen to even suggested freezing liver and cutting just a quarter-sized piece (frozen) every day that can be cut up and swallowed like pills if you're averse to eating organ meats. I haven't done that yet, but I think it's a great idea! 😊
I appreciate Dr Berg addressing some of the issues but, beef is conspicuously absent in the chart and what role can high quality supplements take in addressing some of the shortfalls?
