  • Meet Alex, a 64-year-old man (a month shy of 65) from Liverpool, UK, who appears to have discovered the fountain of youth. He embarked on a radical lifestyle change that has transformed his life and body and has made him look 20 years younger. In this inspiring episode, Kerry from HomesteadHow talks to Alex about his incredible journey on the carnivore diet, which he started 436 days ago. #carnivore #carnivorediet
    Follow Alex here- @CarnivoreforLife65
    It all began when Alex watched a UA-cam documentary about the harmful effects of sugar and excessive carbohydrates in our diets. After a deep dive into the world of nutrition science, he realized that the secret to optimal health might lie in consuming meat and eliminating sugar and carbohydrates.
    The results? Absolutely breathtaking! Alex's weight dropped rapidly, he started to sleep like a baby, his chronic acid reflux and snoring disappeared, and his energy levels soared. His transformation has not only changed his physical appearance but also improved his overall well-being.
    Furthermore, the carnivore diet has had a positive impact on Alex's mental health. Dealing with depression post-UK lockdown, he now experiences improved moods and handles stressful situations better, and has a brighter outlook on life.
    Watch this video and witness his inspiring transformation from being unhappy with his weight and dealing with depression to looking and feeling decades younger. Learn about his journey from 203lbs to 167lbs and how he came off his blood pressure medication entirely.
    Join us as Alex shares his story with the aim of inspiring others, especially those in their 50s and above. .
    Tune in, and you might find yourself questioning your own diet choices! Will you take the leap and try the carnivore diet for yourself? Watch now and get inspired!

    My wife and I sat up and talked the other night about carnivore etc until 1am. She's seen my remarkable results in almost 6 months. I wasn't trying to get her to try it but she said listening to me talk so passionately about it convinced her it's time for her to try it for 30 days. She told me she's starting Monday. I can't tell you how happy I am because her health is poor at the moment. She has many of the same problems I did. I can't wait to see the change!

      Wishing you wife all the best...this will be life changing for her. ☘💪
      PLEASE make sure you talk about the bowl issues that she will most like have the first two weeks. Make sure if she feels gas to go sit on the toilet.
      also let her know that she will get carnivore flu too and she will need to take electrolytes magnesium & potassium (before bed magnesium promotes sleep) both are to prevent carniovre/keto leg cramps that come on at night and then drinking salt water during the day. Magnesium/potassium/salt = electrolytes or you can buy electrolytes powders to put in water.
      see Dr Berg's vids on electrolytes and their importants and also Dr Eckberg, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Bos, Dr Mindy pelz. Not sure if Shawn Baker MD podcast yt ch has info on this or not.
      Guide your wife now. Many find it easier to tranistion from SAD diet to keto diet then take one meal a day and make it full carnivore then two meals then all meals = many do not get bowl problems or canivore flu.

I've also discussed the possible bowel issues and she got to see first hand what happened with me during my transition time.😲 Since I started eating only meat I have just started cooking dinner every day so her meat intake has been on the rise slowly for the last few months.
      I increased my meat intake over several weeks before I went to all meat and I think that helped lessen the side effects of the bacteria die off etc.

      "Eat like its your job" :-) make sure you get to 2.5 lbs of ribeye equivalent. Most of your calories from fat so no lean meat!
      Mostly beef, goat or lamb. Drink CLEAN water ( get a good filtration system ). Eggs and cheese can be introduced later if you tolerate them. Takes 90 days for complete induction. Good luck!!

I got my drivers license renewed yesterday and the gal was shocked at my age. The very oddest thing is that no 'friend' has made one comment since I told them I was on an 'elimination' diet months ago. I don't push and don't allow anyone to attempt to make me feel 'guilty' for not eating junk food. My happiness is evident to the world.

Even still, I look and feel like a new person and will not go back.

    Wow, Alex seems like the best most genuine dude. Kudos Alex! Your story is so similar to mine! I started carnivore April 22, 2022 at 43 years old. I was 211 lbs with a big belly, love handles, man boobs, a chubby face, etc! Today, nearly 15 months later and I’m 167 lbs and look and feel like a 20-30 year old! I have defined biceps for the first time since my teenage and early 20’s, man boobs are gone, love handles and belly gone! My face changed drastically. I went from 38” waist pants to 30”. This way of eating truly is the Proper Human Diet. Anyone who reads this and is thinking of making a change, please do not wait, do it now! My only regret is I didn’t find this sooner. Like Alex, I think people are blown away by the way I look compared to just a year ago, it’s insane! My goal now is for the first time in my life to have a six pack lol.

Now 5 months on mostly carnivore I have am down 192 lbs, and I feel about 10 times better than I did on keto. I am no 100% pure carnivore, but I am close. 16 years of diabetes, 300+ units of insulin per day gone. Extremely high BP in the 250-280;s on 5 bp medications, gone. Bad knee, gone. Macular Degeneration and going blind, stopped. Torn rotator cuff, healed. I now work like crazy.

    I was strict carnivore for almost a year. When our garden began producing, I went to keto. I loved the vegetables. I have returned to carnivore since February because I still remember how great I felt. I'm 67 and started having knees, shoulders, and back stiffness and pain. When walking I had a knee that without warning would drop me to my knees. I knew that I had to return to carnivore. Sure enough, all that pain and weakness are gone. I lose at a slow rate (5# a month), but my body size is shrinking despite that. I knew it would because it did the last time that I was carnivore. The garden food is being harvested and I'm canning it for my husband, but I have not ate any of it. I continue to feel better and better. I feed my 16 week old dobermans carnivore, too. My husband gave one of the pups bread and he spit it out. LOL. I, too, look young for my age, but always have. Enjoyed the interview.

      Love your story and life approach. I at 66, can relate with you on the garden. I started carn., four and a half yrs., ago. My family are big veg gardeners. Now that elderly parents can no longer tend the plot, I do it for them. At least the produce is clean, organic and homegrown. It makes them happy to come out and pick climbing beans and peas and putter around a bit. Gardens are almost-free emergency food and we might need some with the direction things are going. However, the one year I didn't garden was amazing. Summer freedom at last. So much time saved, planning, digging, planting, tending, weeding, harvesting, storing, winter prep, etc. So much money saved buying, seed, starter plants, tools, fertilizer inputs, bags, bottles, and cans. The biggest benefit to not growing veggies is zero heartbreak when natural conditions like drought, wind, heat, bad seed, disease, insects, animals, and thieves destroy the crop. I can sweat that now!

    Wow! Just seeing this today and I sent this to family and friends. Many think I am a bit nuts but 6 months ago I decided to try this. At 57, nothing was helping me to have energy, lose weight and get my inflammation under control. Keto got me into oxalate troubles. I decided that the veg was just making all my aches, pains and gallbladder issues worse. So glad I went full 🥩🥓🧈🍳. At first I had the usual concerns about fiber and nutrients because we've all had that "mind cleansing" drilled into us since childhood. I once told my kids to eat their veggies....now they see Mom eating steak, eggs, ground beef/venison/bison and I never make a vegetable. My husband and kids are not really into it yet and keep the house full of the old addictive foods I once ate. But now I have no taste for the chips, cookies and junk they eat. I feel great, look great and have so much energy now. I don't want to put those poisons in my body any more. 🎉 Hoping they will come around one day and find out what true health feels like.

Hadn't felt like snacking either. Last night of day 3 I wasn't hungry for supper but, I ate some beef and chicken. Weight loss is following as well. However, I'm more concerned about the gut than anything. I know the weight will follow. I'm eating less then I expected, which will directly lessen the food bill as I'm not buy anything else but meat.. All the other garbage is what makes the bill so high...

I ended up spending so much time trying to have balanced conversations about something I was just learning about and couldn’t really defend intellectually, just anecdotally.

No exercise or weight lifting made an effect on my thighs. So while I'm not in it for weight loss, I went on an allergy elimination diet and fell into carnivore with no guidance for several months. Stressing over I have to try to add veggies and fruit because how can I survive on just meat. I was vegan/vegetarian for 2 decades. I can't do higher histamine foods due to an excess of mast cells in my colon. And my vocal folds spam shut when triggered by taste, contact, smell,??? So no ground meats unless super fresh. Picanhe is my favorite, i love that fat cap. Air fryer saved my life, but i smoke fish/ beef, too. I also do sashimi. Raw salmon no rice. Some cooked fish/ seafood.
      Anyways, thank you both for answers. Finally. 💜🩵💚💜🩵

      FYI, my closest butcher is rural on the edge of the metro area in Oregon. Picanhe is considered boneless beef ribs with a fat cap for $10.98/lb or without the fat cap for $11.98/lb. Next time I'll ask if they can collect fat cap bits for me to buy that day. It seems better than the Amish and Irish butter for my gut. I eat maybe half to 3/4 a pound steak OMAD.

    I am down 45lbs in 3 months and so many issues I had and how crappy I was feeling is gone or nearly gone. Feeling so much more positive and more importantly, hopeful and excited for life. I am not 100% carnivore but eat that way most often. I am more of a very tight Ketovore right now. 90-95% Carnivore.
    I think I got about 50lbs more to go but will see as I approach that. I took surprise people when I tell them my age and they see me. I think I looked more my age before I started a now at least 10-15 years younger than I am. Will send some before and after pics to you when I am down to my goal.

    I need to start keeping a journal. You have definitely sold me on the need to do this diet.
    I am 55, have been in heart failure for over seven years (they don’t know why, my arteries are clear). I have fibromyalgia, C-PTSD, anxiety, total chronic fatigue, had hyperthyroidism, have arthritis, knee pain, week, sore ankles, facial breakouts that won’t go away, hair loss, irritable bowl syndrome, the lack of any ambition to do anything, because I’m so completely exhausted. There is much, much more but you get the gist. I am going to start this Monday. The day before yesterday they told me that my heart is so sick that I’m looking at getting a transplant. That’s the absolute last thing I want! So I’m curious to see what happens. If it doesn’t work, I’m probably going to die. No joking. So all the help I can get with this… I’d be endlessly grateful. I needed to start this years ago.
    Thank you for giving me hope.

    This has been the best video I've seen on eating carnivore! Alex is amazing 😊. I wish continued success to him. You gave a Very informative, interesting, enlightening interview with him. Thanks. I started keto 5 days ago. This made me decide to incorporate some carnivore days in the mix. I'm not ready to do it all at once, lol. My daughter inspired me to go keto with the success she has been having with it. I' have a hand that painfully falls asleep, to the point I have to wait for it to wake up, to use it. Quite frustrating. Sometimes its numb, sometimes pins & needles, other times a burning on fire sensation. Its been going on for several years now. I used to be vegan for years, but changed to SAD when I got married, & my health has gone down hill ever since. I tried vegan again with no success. Some vitamins helped with my left hand, & I'm no longer waking in tears in pain. I'm hoping keto/carnivore is the Key to Unlock this problem in my right hand. That's my first & main "Why". My second "Why" is that I was so healthy before I got married, & now I have gained 50 pounds, due to the SAD diet, plus who knows why else. Thank you so much for the inspiration! I just happened upon you. Also, I had a stress heart attack last December, from which I have recovered, & thankfully I'm not on any medications. My third "Why" is to protect my heart. Thanks again & good luck & success to your wife. 😊

    What a great story! Alex's story is inspiring. I'm 70 and I did low-carb, then keto, for years, and I've been doing an inconsistent semi-carnivore for almost a year now. I need to take that last step and dumping the sweet stuff (all stevia, erythritol, monk fruit; I have no sugar or flour in the house) is most of that last step. Just meat is a challenge. But the one thing that hasn't gone away with keto is arthritis. I'm a musician and my hands won't let me play what I've played for years. If I can see that improve, I'm in.

    I’m convinced carnivore is the best way to eat! Can’t seem to convince hubby… he loves his veggies, beer and snacks.

    I listened to one family's testimonials a few days ago, and they brought up some issues that really made sense. A couple of family members had a few days with stomach cramps, and perhaps some digestive upset. BUT if you've been a vegetarian for awhile, or eaten very little meat OR been on a high sugar/high carbohydrate diet - your gut bacteria are out of whack, and the gut will shed the bad bacteria - which can result in some bloating or digestive upset. Be persistent . . . it WILL pass, it just takes a few days!

    12 days carnivore. My advice for myself is eat more fat. I was eating somewhere around 1:9 fat:protein at the start. Oh boy, I was having diarrhea. Did some more research. Now I'm trying to get around 1:1 fat:protein. My stool is slowly improving, I'm not quite there. I'm literally putting a spoon of butter over my steak as it's resting and drinking all the juice and drippings.
    Benefits, it's only been 1 week and I feel more focus, alert, my cognitive abilities have improved, better memory, clearer mind. Also less hunger, more stable energy. Less drowsy. I lost 2 lbs already. I'm not a fat person, but I do want to lose the fat in my gut, more for health reasons.
    I'm excited to see how much my health can improve. I'm 33 and doing this for illness prevention. This will be a excellent investment into my health.
