To follow a carnivore diet in its truest sense, you only eat animal meats and fats. Those who practice it report weight loss, blood sugar stability, more energy, better mental focus, and the list goes on.
A criticism of the diet is that it lacks research, leading to the question, “How does staying on this diet affect long-term health?”
I agree that there are benefits, and I agree that we won’t know the full health story until more substantial studies have been done. So, I thought, what would happen if I added a few days of carnivore a month to my typical low-carb diet? In other words, practice carnivore intermittently. And what I am calling intermittent carnivore was born.

I’m a new carnivore. I started Ketovore Jan 3 2024, on Feb 5 I started Carnavore, so 30 days today. I can’t say how happy I am! First thing I felt joyful and peaceful, I did not get carnivore Flu, I lost 15 pounds over these months, my sinuses stopped draining, my joints are better, my sleep is better. I eat mainly beef. Yes, I have one coffee in the morning with butter and cream. Water, LMNT, Redmonds salt, Finlandia butter, bone broth homemade. This is the best thing I have ever done. In June I will see the results of my labs and hear what my MD (she supports Keto) has to say. Prior to this, she offered me Ozempic. I was 194.4…now 179. I need to get to 150. But no hurry. I love this path. 73 yrs old and feeling so good! My life has changed dramatically.
I am a nurse of 43 years ( still practicing) right now I am hardcore carnivore, I have a severe autoimmune disease and when it flares up the ONLY thing that will send it into remission ( and it takes several months) is eating only beef, salt, butter, water ( I can also tolerate green beans and lettuce) anything else at all will send me into thee most imaginable pain you can fathom, I am in carnivore this time for 1 month ( down 16#) and on my way into remission ( BTW, I was forced into figuring it out on my own as Drs do NOT know how to get it into remission except with stem cell therapy and nobody’s insurance covers it as the FDA insists it is “ experimental “ even though it has been successful for over 10 years) Thank God for Dr Ken Berry here on UA-cam, an amazing carnivore Dr who also drinks coffee 😁
MS? What is the type of administration of stem cell? In to the vein? Cord or autologous?
@@ToddDouglasFox no it is not MS, although I have read many comments from people who follow strict carnivore that all of their MS symptoms went away and one Dr who has MS has a video on UA-cam where she was wheelchair bound and now is walking and working as a Dr, best wishes
@@kathyharmon2093 is it Lyme? We are physicians, we know about the various administrations of stem cell. We personally perform regenerative treatments but we do not use stem cell.
@@kathyharmon2093 how much beef you eat in a day? Am eating grassfed ground beef almost daily but wonder how much is appropriate. Thank you for any input
So you are controlling your weight?
I’ve been on the carnivore diet for 2 months and I clearly recognize the differences. People on keto report the same benefits. Many people on a plant base diet also claim wonderful benefits. I’ve heard vegetables aren’t good for you, your body can’t break them down and they prevent other nutrients from being absorbed. Fruit isn’t good for you because it’s sugar. This is my own opinion based on things I’ve read and listening to my own body. I feel good eating animal based products, I feel good when eating certain organic vegetables and I feel good eating plain yogurt with organic blueberries and raspberries. The reason why I feel good eating my way is because I’m eliminating all processed foods , zero seeds oils and the only source of sugar is from the limited amount of fruit in the morning. If you pay attention to all 3 diets you can see a common thread. If you can cut out the things that are 100% proven to cause you harm, don’t eat any vegetables or fruits that cause gas/inflammation, limit carbs, fast, exercise and drink plenty of water, you should be in a good place. At the end of the day you have to listen to your body and figure out what works for you. I wish everyone nothing but happiness and good health 🙏
I'm going to try eliminating some of these foods. Thanks for your tips.
@@jenniferdavis2323 … Have you heard of Bobby Parish ? He has a great YT channel and free app called “Bobby Approved” that scans barcodes and tells you if it’s good or bad and highlights the bad ingredients and gives you healthy alternatives plus many more things. It even works on products like body soap’s, shampoo’s and makeup because that stuff even has chemicals that can have a negative effect on the human body.
Agreed 💯%
So true!
Yes, at the end of the day it’s our body. Interesting how another person does this.
I used carnivore to measure and maintain therapeutic ketosis in conjunction with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. I followed Prof Thomas Seyfried's protocol and am now cancer free. My oncologist was not supportive. I ate a bunch of carbs to celebrate and re-ignited a carb addiction and felt terrible. I am back on carnivore to prevent recurrence of endometrial cancer.
4+ yrs Carnivore and never been better at 60 yrs old :)
and no plans on changing
Awesome, big congrats!
I’ve been carnivore since January 3rd this year (2024). I’m absolutely loving it!! I’ve probably tried every diet under the sun & was rarely able to stay on any longer than 3 weeks! Keto I stayed on for several months & never lost one pound. I just figured there was something horribly wrong with my body!
I think I was made for carnivore!! As soon as I started eating this way, I felt amazing!! I seriously look forward to seeing what the next year or two does for my body being on carnivore.
Before starting carnivore, I was totally eating whatever I wanted at that moment! I did eat mostly “clean” organic, grass fed/finished, pasture raised, etc. etc. But, if I was out & wanted a burger or anything else, I wouldn’t hesitate!
I felt pretty hopeless concerning loosing weight!
Last year I fasted 30 days & only lost about 10 pounds. It was quickly put back on as soon as I began eating again.
I’m excited about carnivore!! I can tell my stomach has shrunk. I am completely satiated with about 1/4 pound of fatty beef. But, then I need to eat again in about 4 to 6 hours.
I’m really proud of Dr. B for playing around with carnivore! I love her beautiful heart! She seems to genuinely care about others!
By the way, my body is now healing from the inside out! The visceral fat is shrinking! I have plenty of energy all day long! I have zero brain fog! I’m no longer lactose intolerant! I can drink cow’s milk with no issues now. I haven’t been able to drink milk or any dairy without horrible repercussions in over 15 years! My gums are stronger & don’t bleed anymore!! There are so so many benefits!!
I’m a 56yo female. I’m looking forward to loosing a lot of weight but for the first time in my life… I’m certainly enjoying the journey!! 💕 🥩 💕
Thanks for this video! Me too Dr. Beckey. 20 months keto/ but pushing to carnivore gradually. At this time, most of my diet includes animal protein 80%. And the other 20% are low carbs. No salads, some berries and cream, some herbs/spices. Nothing from a box or a package. No pastas, rice, no breads and absolutely no sugary foods. No night shades or green vegetables.
Better sleep, clear thinking and improvement in muscle tone. Eczema disappearing and oxalates are dumping. Many other skin and hair improvements too. I'm 74 YO.
I've done long term carnivore several times, once for two years, and the main thing I found is that you get used to not needing all the extras. But they come back fast. Variety is a drug like so many other things. I can have none, or I go overboard. Usually takes me about a month to get over craving variety.
Congrats on going two years carnivore. Did you get off the bandwagon on purpose or by accident?
I think anyone who watches any carnivore videos knows exactly what lmnt is, and their overly aggressive marketing and sponsorship of so many UA-camrs for me is starting to be tiresome. especially for such a simple/unremarkable product (that isn't even available in Europe). but thanks for the video!
Dr. Becky, I adore the simplicity and structure you lend to this subject. The tendency is to overthink. Your approach is mentally easy 😊 👏
Great to hear!
Dr Becky. Costco sells pre-cooked Pork Belly. In the refrigerator section. Heating instructions is 425 degrees in oven for 30 minutes or air fried for 20 minutes. It is fantastic also I use kirkland balsamic vinegar drizzled on top after cooking 🍳 ❤️
Great video. I have been following a similar program like this for the last 2 years. I split up the week with Keto 4 days then 3 days of carnivore. It has worked wonders for me in so many ways. The only negative, although many of the Good Keto/carnivore guys on here don't think it's negative has been my jump in LDL. My Triglycerides dropped big time to 58 and my Hdl improved to 72 but my LdL went up to 190. The cleaner I eat with Carnivore the higher the LDL goes. I only eat grass fed organic meat and chicken and wild organic fish.
I really like your idea. I'm a week into carnivore and already feeling burned out by the monotony. Intermittent seems very doable with a keto base diet. Thanks! ❤
Yep, I find when I try to stick to carnivore, it becomes easier for me to binge on junk food, but there are definitely days all I want is a big ground beef bowl or a ribeye steak and eggs and that’s it. So, sometimes, I’ll eat carnivore. Other days, I add salad with olives and green goddess dressing, walnuts, and Brussels sprouts.
Food is not entertainment; it is just fuel. It can’t be boring.
I agree food should be our fuel source mainly , but it does take time to learn to eat for health only ; we have been spoiled in the west!
There's a lot of variety.
Eggs, chicken, bacon, beef, pork, fish, seafood...
@@markfox3083That's a very Spartan approach. Food is not just fuel but also one of the pleasures of life. It can be that on intermittent carnivore, too.
I can't tell you how impressed I am by your change in timing for your sponsorships - that's super!!
I kick start my weight loss when it stalls with a 24 hours fast. I try to maintain a moderate level of ketosis by eating low carb carnivore as closely as possible. I also enjoy my coffee, seasonings, and the occasional piece of cabbage and some no sugar tomato sauce on my carnivore cabbage rolls, and some pickled red cabbage to break up the boredom of ground beef, bacon and eggs done a gazillion different ways. Incorporating pepperettes add super flavour and variety, lamb, lamb chops, chicken thighs, so much variety I am discovering there is little reason to get bored except for our own imagination. One way to conquer this that I have discovered, shop the variety of meats and fishes available and cook it up as soon as possible thereafter. This way it’s cooked and ready to grab. I always make three different dishes with ground beef. And I keep a half dozen or so ideas handy for omelettes. Ground beef meatballs, ground beef burgers, ground beef meatloaves…. My low carbs are used with onion, mushroom, being used to flavour the eggs and ground beef. The spicy pepperettes and paprika turned out to be a super idea. Just chop small like onion size, and add it to the mix. 🤷🏼♀️
I'm 71 and been trying to rid myself of that touring bicycle, spare tire middle. Your guidance on low carb and fasting is awesome. My biggest obstacle is my 94 year old mom who insists on making me cookies and pies every time I visit. I wish my body would work like a hybrid vehicle, and would switch between fats and carbs as the situation arises. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Sounds like my mom
Cool! You are the only creator I’ve seen who has put this info out there. Everyone else tells you what and why, but there isn’t any good information about HOW. I appreciate it 👍
I don't find carnivore boring at all. It's actually freeing not to feel the need to come up with side dishes or fillers to go with my main dish.
Nice work. One commenter hit it perfect, Discipline is the magic. Eating like this is perfect for clearing the junk out of your system. Thank you for putting this out.
Thank you for adding more flexibility to the diet. I have been intrigued with carnivore and really wanted to do that. In fact, I did one day of carnivore this week and on the following day I had to add some veggies with my steak. I couldn’t visualize myself eating only meat every day. So intermittent carnivore would be appropriate. Thank you Dr Becky for this very simple idea❤️
Thanks for sharing this.
I appreciate you being here with us !
Most low carb/carnivore videos on YT are so “all or nothing” … thank you making the point that you can always try a different way of eating once in a while to see how you feel. I also live a low-carb lifestyle, but occasionally I’ll go carnivore for a few weeks (but with MUCH more variation in the carnivore foods I eat to try to keep meals fun & satisfying). While I’m on carnivore, I get an incredible energy boost, I get even more lean, and my ketones go thru the roof while my blood sugar stays level, which I love. What I really miss when I’m on carnivore is my veggies 🤤, all things acidic, condiments, probiotics, and regular 💩s. 😆
As an obesity medicine doctor, I always look to simplify diet ideas as much as possible for my patients. I appreciate your simplicity here.
I have been LCHPMF and intermittent fasting for 7 years now. I have contemplated doing carnivore on many occasions, but I do enjoy (and tolerate) my vegetables and salad, so I have not attempted it. The intermittent concept is fantastic, not sure why I did not think of it! Thanks
Thanks for your comment, Patrick!
If this is "Intermittent Carnivore" than I've been an intermittent carnivore for more than a year now. My eating schedule:
Monday: All day fast
Tuesday: BBBE
Wednesday: Carnivore
Thursday: Carnivore
Friday: OMAD / Ketovore - less than 10 grams of carbs
Saturday and Sunday: Keto - less than 20 grams of crabs
I do drink coffee, so I'm with you on that....but I wouldn't touch that "protein shake" with a 10 foot pole. And depending on what the fillers are in the crab cake; I'd probably not have those either. There's just SO MUCH other meat I'd rather have instead.
What’s bbbe?
I looked it up
Beef, butter, bacon and eggs - or BBBE, as Dr. Berry has coined it - is a shortcut version of the increasingly popular carnivore diet. Like a traditional keto diet, it works by replacing carb-rich foods with protein and fat
@@elainef639 Exactly right, and Dr Berry picked those foods because they have a 1 to 1 fat to protein ratio.
Sounds awful
Don’t knock it till you tried it
I tried carnivore for two weeks. Lost weight fast, so much I was afraid of losing too much weight. I also got a rush in my brain, almost euphoric, felt good. Couldn't stick with it long term, but your idea of intermittent carnivore sounds good to me.
I’m going to try it. Not afraid of losing too much!
loosing/losing
@@markfox3083 I stand corrected, thanks.
Your video is so timely for me, Becky I’ve been looking into the Carnivore Diet but feeling like I needed to do some form of veggies too. This allows both of the theories I feel I could follow to get the nutrients I think my body needs. My biggest struggle getting off process food and sugar… Here we go again.❤
@@wjack4728 kudos to you for your graciousness! Not many people are willing to admit, much less correct an error. 👍
Genius!! I love the fact that you give practical information on this. It is yet another tool to use for good health. Thank you for this information!!
I love that you keep it real, Dr. Becky, and how you are right up front with the variations you’re doing - and why you choose to make those swaps. Thank you for the honesty and accessibility you bring to your channel! 🙏🏽
Thanks for your comment, Melanie!
Just wanted to say thank you for your 2nd book. Love the first book also. I'm on Day 45 of being both sugar free and gluten free. I gave up gluten as I've found experimenting with a gluten-free diet is that it's the best thing I can do for arthritis in my hands. And I would much rather be able to knit than eat bread!
And to people who think it's not possible I went sugar-free while suffering from cellulitis in a leg, muscles spasms in my back, and a sinus infection! It was the one thing I could do other than my meds to get my healthier while I was stuck at home for a month. And having the daily reading to cheer me on through the 30 days was a big help.
So many thanks.
That is so wonderful to hear, Lucinda! Congratulations and thanks for your comment!
I’m dealing with a health issue that I see improvements when I’m in ketosis. Thought I’d take it up a notch by going carnivore. Two weeks in I had lost weight, and my oncologist was not happy with that. The problem was that I just couldn’t digest animal fat well, (floating poop). However, avocado to the rescue. My doctor is very happy with my numbers, and my weight.
So, ketovore works for me. I admit that there is something so satisfying about eating a steak to satiated. My body feels like it needs this nutrition.
Btw, I love LMNT.
I love how you have given us a window into your eating habbits which i find very interesting
thanks much
I like your concept for those afraid of going full throttle carnivore! I’m 62 and have been on carnivore for 2 years now and feel better than when I was on my 30’s! I also dose with methylene blue and love my new found health and happiness!
Thanks for sharing this with us, Becky. I followed the zero-to-very low carb plan for over 2 years, but now include a variety of vegetables, legumes, fruits, seeds, nuts, etc. on a regular basis. Overall, I feel better with the variety, but I do enjoy an occasional zero-to-very low carb day of eating from time to time as well as a vegetarian or vegan day now and then. Today is a vegan day.
Im 58 was not in terrible shape but started the carnivore diet because of a friend im 4 months in and all i can say is woe cant believe i never did this before my energy levels are through the roof body fat went from 20 percent down to ten and mentally feel better than ever dont no long term but its definitely a life style i will be pursuing further also all the aches and pains (joints etc) and gut bloating has virtually disappeared that alone is keeping me going anyway good luck and God bless
I love the flexibility of this approach. Thank you Dr. Gillaspy!
Love this idea! Especially with the coffee! I’m with you on that. The crab cakes also sound delicious I’m going to try this for a boost in weight loss. Thank you!
All very sensible, and if we get to a healthy weight, have good energy, control glucose and insulin by low carb, there are no sins. The big benefit for me from your videos is that I now understand what foods affect my weight, what make me feel good and maintain the balance. This is a learning process I wish I had known as part of my basic education 50 years ago, and I am enjoying exploring and cooking my own food.
Aches , pains and joint stiffness goes away with carnivore and the glucose checking are a good indicator of what foods to avoid. There is nothing difficult once we understand our own body and its reaction to certain foods. Great video again , thank you.
I've been doing this! Thanks for giving it a name Sunday - Tuesday is my routine
Those are typical days for me as well. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for this brief but succinct informative video. What you're describing can be done much like Dr. Boz's 72 hour sardine fast! I've been Carnivore/Keto for over about a decade now & I will NEVER turn back from it. I like the term you use "Intermittent Carnivore". I guess I do the same as you except in the reverse... I'm mostly Carnivore majority of the time but then decide to add a sprinkle of 3-7 days of meat-centric Keto. So I guess I'm more Intermittent Ketovore!
Thanks again for this Dr. Becky. Enjoy your videos!
Keto on! Meat on! Heal On! 🍖 🥓 🥩 🐟 🍗 🦐 🧈 🍳 🥛 🦀 🦞
I love this idea!! Great video!❤
Started keto little over a year ago been carnivore for at least a month. Omad on both. One thing I noticed is I get hungry before I eat at 4 so I eat cooked pork belly fat pieces . Yes same electrolytes plus iodine 2 drops in the morning water with more magnesium citrate. I feel good lost 25 lbs I’m 67 , gym and bowling 3 leagues a week. I liked your video because of the versatile ways we can go with these two diet lifestyles . My garden will provide good organic salads while they’re growing and I can’t wait for the fig trees a limited amount .After that carnivore until next gardening season. I decided that figs can fit in after watching the Oreo cookie statin results video .
Very helpful. You are amazing and beautiful. I will be 54 March 25th. I have you to thank, because of these videos and seeing how good you look is my motivation. To continue eating this way, I don't think it's boring to be able to move my body with ease and still go up and down stairs.
I look forward to the next five or so years watching these helpful videos, and sharing with others your UA-cam channel.❤
Love this, Becky! I followed you and Keith for 65 lbs weight loss 4 years ago. I continued Keto but found through vacations and little cheats that the weight started to creep up (20 lbs to be exact.) I switched to carnivore to see if that would reign in my creeping carb addiction. It's working. I'm down about 8 lbs after 3 weeks carnivore. Aldi meat section makes it very affordable. I find it very simple to follow because I do love animal based diet-and truthfully, I am a LAZY cook; the quicker and least planning, the better. I'm hoping to get to 'normal' weight for the first time in my adult life. I love the carnivore lifestyle. Through it all, I am (mostly) OMAD. Salmon, chicken, beef, pork. Yum.
Good morning from the Wide Bay Region of Queensland. I've also done intermittent carnivore with fasting since 2018. Combined with high intensity gardening 🤣on our permaculture farm, weight training and mountain biking I can definitely say I'm feeling much better at 55 than I have done for years. In between intermittent carnivore I eat more paleo style including more homegrown greens , nuts and berries.
Very much appreciated this video,, I started keto, and for awhile, until it doesn't served its purpose, I started gaining weight etc, found carnivore, but I still missing something, I add water kefir and more probiotic with my diet, I started feeling more satisfied! I love carnivore, but fermented drinks made me feel wholesome! Thank you for this idea,,,
Thanks for this video. From reading some comments I’m one of the few who didn’t see any improvement in energy (I’m exhausted all the time) and no reduction in belly fat, even though I’ve been doing carnivore for 9 months. I did improve my morning fasting blood sugar & I did see a reduction in joint pain & reduced inflammation in my feet.But I did lose valuable muscle in my thighs. Let me we clear, I think carnivore works better for people who are 20-30 years younger than I am.
At 70, I’ve had great success following a gluten free, sugar free diet for 35 years, due to a diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto’s in my thirties. Unlike the rest of my family, I’ve never been on RA meds or had any joints replaced, because I followed a gluten free, no sugar diet. But even though my thyroid meds have been adjusted many times, I’m still extremely tired, & out of breath when I walk, & my cardiologist hasn’t yet found anything major.
I was much healthier before menopause and I regret not staying on HRT, because that is when I gained the belly , started losing bone ( I lost 4 inches) losing muscle tone, losing memory, losing so many things. Even though I live in a major metropolitan area, doctors won’t follow my wishes. But I’m not going to give up, getting on HRT, because high fat carnivore did NOT give me back the hormones that I need for a good life, contrary to what the Naturopath doctor said it would do.
How on Earth did you manage to lose muscle on carnivore?! I'm truly dumbfounded by that.
I've been Carnivore for about a year and it's been great....Limiting for sure but no real problem. When i feel the need for a cheat day once or twice a week i loosen up and go Old School Keto (no packaged stuff) and that gives me just enough flexibility to make this lifestyle sustainable.
Thank you for your video. I, like other commenters, started carnivore on Jan 1st this year. I’ve lost 19 lbs so far. I’m 5’9” & have about 35 lbs left to lose. I don’t babysit the scale and only weigh on the first of each month. My clothes tell me I’m making good progress throughout the month. I also drink coffee but my other cheat would be choc zero as I have a little snack if they’re for dessert each day. It’s not carnivore but close enough and it works for me. I eat within a 4 hour window from about 11:30-4:30 but usually only one meal a day. I appreciate and enjoy your videos and your knowledge. Thank you for sharing.
That’s a 5 hour eating window
I love this concept
I love the idea of not having to chew on those vegetable. I will never enjoy vegetables no matter what I do to them short of covering them in maple syrup.
You are missing one of the great joys in life - a beautiful salad.
@@carokat1111That's one of YOUR great joys. There's no joy in it for me. Eat and let eat.
I'm having the opposite problem, as I research diets, carnivore sounds very effective but I can't imagine it being sustainable for me. I was once a vegetarian and did not miss meat in the slightest. I've been a salad eater since a wee babe. I'm gonna try it though and see if I get the miraculous effects that will convince me to stick to it, or if I'm the odd one out once again.
Intermittent carnivore is a wonderful idea, Dr. Becky, thank you!
Thank you for admitting that you have some carbs on your carnivore days. I am having trouble staying away from carbs period. So I think your idea is doable.
That's the thing with "your" diet. It is yours to create. Good job giving it a try. I like your choices. 😃👍
My main reason for staying on the carnivore diet (about 10 years )is to keep from getting dementia and cancer,which are prevalent in my family.
New to your channel. You are 100 percent spot on
You have a nice calm Martha Stewart vibe.
Interestingly. When I did OMAD and keto my health improved. When I did OMAD and carnivore my health improved. When I did OMAD and ate whatever I wanted, no food restrictions my health improved. I'm seeing a trend. Lowering the insulin by fasting seems to be the magic bullet to reverse health problems. No restrictions. Fast on!
Thanks for sharing this! Is your reason for doing the carnivore-ish days for weight loss? The crab cake suggestion is intriguing!
Coffee int he morning....I good size steak in the middle of the day and water with electrolytes mix in early evening...I make my own...thats it...easy
Great idea! I do low carb daily and this would be a great addition. I've lost 20 lbs. and maintained that loss with some brief ups and downs. My GP would like me to lose another pounds and this could be a way to do it! Thanks Dr. Becky!
I like this idea a lot. I need to be more low carb for majority of the time and then swing into this carnivore mode one or two times a month. Thank you!
Your videos are always timely, Dr. Becky. I dropped 72.6 pounds in the past year and a half using Intermittent Fasting and Ketogenics. Carnivore interests me, so I'll try Intermittent Carnivore!
That is wonderful! Congratulations!
Nice work. Thank you.☺
Been carnivore 18 months and Love it.❤
I'm not going to stop my one mug of coffee for any diet, so we're in complete agreement!
I like the 1 minute sponsorship idea.
I was so happy to see this! I was thinking of doing something like this myself. What do you think of protein sparing modified fasting? Maybe you've done a video on that already?
I am familiar with it. I have not done a video on it. I will look at working it into a future video.
@@beckygillaspy Thank you, Dr. Becky!
I've been Increasing my carnivore intake substantially in the past two weeks. My weight is generally very good with some belly fat. I'm 67, Train 4 days per week. Eat low carbs. Now after watching this video, I'll be focusing more on Carnivore, and include ACV. Thankyou
100% no apologies needed for how you eat
Great info 😊
Based on this video, I do intermittent keto. I tend to eat a carnivore diet for months at a time, and then get a taste for vegetables. Sometimes I will eat keto for a week and sometimes just a couple of days before I no longer want the veggies and go back to carnivore. There is no set schedule I just eat keto when I get a taste for vegetables.
75 here and carnivore for over 2 years and will never eat my old diet. I feel better than I have in 45 years. I thought I had to live with all the horrible symptoms of what I was told was caused by old age. We have definitely been lied to.
I've been following a sort of Carnivore diet nearly a year, more strictly since November.
I was pleasantly surprised by my medical providers' reactions when I told them what I was doing. Now, my PA wants me to come back in 6 months just to see how my blood work is affected. Fair enough, but I won't take any statins if she recommends it.
I think it takes a while for our body to adjust so this first year could be uncertain.
I recently was weighed at doctor's office, I expected about a 20-lb. loss since November. I was very disappointed I'd GAINED 4 lbs. But when I weighed a few weeks later (had a colonoscopy) I'd lost 10 lbs. I hope that is the start of more weight-loss success.
One note, it's recommended I double up the prep in future as my colon wasn't entirely cleaned out. I wonder if that's due to no carbs or fiber present to move things along. I'm just grateful I didn't have to take GoLitely for the prep. 🤢🤮
There is YT channel - I don't recall the name where the young lady has been on carnivore for 13 years and still going.
I like this idea. Love carnivore, but not sure it is working for me. Adding my one salad back in and will do carnivore like you do!❤ (5 1/2 year journey for me)
Sounds good, DB, as usual. I, however, aint going there. I'm happy with my low-carb diet and am a former lacto-ovo vegetarian who has some difficulty eating some sorts of meat anyway. But nice presentation.
I've been "keto vore" for over a year. Intermittent carnivore makes perfect sense to me. But for me I value a small amount of low carb vegetables to help with routine digestion. I've gone full carnivore but didn't like the digestion routine changes that came? But I can certainly do one meal full carnivore once a day and once in awhile? I'm still learning, experimenting, and improving. That's what keeps life interesting? I've found that the closer to zero my carb intake is, the more benefits that I realize.
Yay! 8 jimmy dean turkey sausage in am. Along with 1/3 stick lucern butter. For lunch 4 eggs and 1/3 stick butter. Supper 8oz meat with 1/3 stick butter.
I do know that there are some ppl who have eaten this way for more than 20 years and they are healthy. You never saw a picture of a fat caveman or a fat carnivore animal. All the fat animals are vegans.
I have been intermittent fasting (guessing Mediterranean way of eating) all through menopause, I’m 59, I feel great, on the 20-4 intermittent now and weight at 125 and I’m 5,6” but my LDL is 210, HDL 77 and triglycerides 49, now, today, the news is trying to claim intermittent fasting can cause cardiovascular problems. My Cholesterol has always been high around 240 but now my total is 297 with the LDL so high. I grow and eat much of my food everyday!
I was on carnivore for a year and lost weight. I also took in sodium because I had leg cramps a lot at night. I drank a lot of water. I quit because I think I can loose weight just as easy counting calories and doing cardio. I resistance train 4 days a week and I have more energy now consuming carbs.
Hi Becky… those Phillips Crab Caked are loaded with fillers… breadcrumbs and highly toxic industrial veg seed oils.
I used to eat them when I first started a year ago with dirty keto, but quickly cut out this processed food.
She could of just bought some crab meat and made an omlete with it
Funny, I actually do this without even thinking about it. Monday through Friday during the work week I’ll eat steak and eggs sometimes a little bacon eggs cooked and butter all breakfast stuff about nine 10 o’clock. Don’t eat the rest of the day. I’ll do that all week and I’ll lose a little weight but I always eat too much on the weekends so I can’t make any progress. Guess I need to be more determined.
It's only boring until you get used to it and are totally free of carbs. Then you crave it. I've been at it for 3 months and it's life changing!
Yes, there are no long term studies of the carnivore diet that can inform on causality. However that is true with EVERY diet (keto, vegetarian, vegan, Mediterranean, pescatarian, etc. the list goes on). The studies simply cannot be done, for ethical and economic reasons. What we have is a lot of short-term epidemiological studies that cannot inform on causality. So, what we're left with is looking at anectodal reports which is where the carnivore diet seems to have a wide range of short term benefits. Personally, I've been low carb for 5 1/2 years (3 keto, 2.5 carnivore), and ALL of my many conditions, including T2D have been resolved, while allowing me to drop ALL of my (ten) medications. I'm feeling better than I did in my early twenties, and IF carnivore shortens my life (personally, I doubt it), living pain free, T2D free, drug free, and feeling this good, then I don't care if it costs me a few years. It's all about QUALITY of life, not QUANTITY. 😀👍
I love that idea! Intermittent Carnivore.
Hi Dr. Becky, thanks for nice interesting videos. Could you please say again what the max total g of carbs would be considered low carb? Thanks a lot! P.S. Have you already talked about carb cycling?😊Have a great Sunday!
It is typically accepted to be 125 grams.
I also do carnivore and love it!
I make my own crab cakes using pork panko. My husband I both think they taste better than with wheat flour “cardboard” flavor. I do use avacado Mayo too but wanting to try making some bacon Mayo.
Was interested in your approach. Still not sure of the benefits. What about your microbiome? What about carb cravings? What about weight loss for those who need it? Is it effective as Carnivore or is it just changing around your regular eating lifestyle? Looking fwd to reading the comments here. Thx Becky.
Us Costco has so many foods not available in Canada - unfortunately.
This is the way my husband and I eat, late 60s. He, zero prescriptions, me, type 1 diabetic and hashimotos. Neither need BP meds or statins, his CAC - 0. My A1C, low 5s.
My body is sensitive to so many foods, and these foods change from time to time, depending on how much I consume. For instance, I have to alternate between almond and coconut milk for coffee. Appears too much of one thing causes a sensitivity. I don’t understand it. So we eat low carb, cook at home, avoid seed oils, trans fats, processed foods, take a lot of supplementation. I muscle test most foods and sadly, some of my favorites, like Brussel sprouts, are a no no. Definitely has something to do with these autoimmune diseases.
Becky, you said normally you stick to a low carb diet of 60 carbs per day by eating a salad at lunch and low-starch veggies at dinner. 60 carbs worth of salad and veggies is a LOT of those items. I mean you could eat 2 cups of veggies and a salad and still be under 20 carbs. What else are you eating to make up the rest of the carbs? Just curious.
Does LMNT also send to Canada? I use whole egg (including shell for calcium) with my smoothies, as well I use avocado and bee pollen in my smoothies.
Yes
What kind of a workout do you do, Dr Becky? I was doing one of those protein shakes every day ... but I wasn't working out! I could tell pretty fast it was making me ... pretty FAT!
Thank you for this! Despite not having formal controlled studies, I do believe that this is how our ancestors lived (at least those living in the north) when fruits & vegetables weren’t available year round. They relied on consuming animals to live.
I touched on prediabetes (A1C 6.0) last June and since then, eat an ‘animal based’ diet and have slowly lost 11 lbs, my A1C was a 5.5, 2 months after changing my diet & I moved from being obese to overweight. I have 10 lbs to lose to be a ‘’normal BMI”. I also indulge in decaf & protein powder. I don’t think this way of eating is boring at all. I love eggs & bacon & eat them every day as my first meal and my second meal is typically a fatty protein - usually beef, but occasionally venison, pork or chicken. I remember Dr Keith being insulin resistant- has he tried carnivore and if so, how did he do? I know that you are insulin sensitive, so you’re able to eat more of a variety of healthy carbs and not be affected. Bottom line, is I feel great in my late 50’s with mental clarity & a lot of energy.
Keith joins me on the intermittent carnivore days.
I have a question. Being on Keto and Carnivore, at times, my Lipid panels are great! (An example is Triglycerides at 66 and HDL @ 65.) My problem is my Uric Acid which is 6.6. How can I reduce my Uric Acid snd yet stay on a low/non Carb diet?
I like this idea
What to do If I can't get the three meals in during a day that you suggest? I have had a tendency to eat fewer calories over the years and now have problems with my thyroid, so I am realizing now that I probably encouraged the problem with the way I have eaten/or lack there of. I am eating more low carb/ high fat and feel way more satiated than before. The problem if I eat too late, though I keep waking up in the middle of the night and have stomach stuff working away...
Forgive me or roast me in the comments! 😂 love it!! 👏🏻
Is a pound of grassfed ground beef a day ok? I fast daily from 14 to 18 hours, sometimes 20 hours or omad. I love eating beefand lean chicken breast, but concern about saturated fat in beef. Am 70 , healthy and sporty.
I'm not totally against it for others.I think it can be helpful short term , but it wasn't for me. It messed me up badly and made me worse. A few othets habe had kidney and liver issues in doing this diet.I have medical issues, and I was so bummed out it made me worse. That's why I whole heartily believe everyone is different and different diets help different people. I saw better results and felt amazing with the custom diet my doctor put me on. It's a journey and I hope all of you have a safe and healthy journey and feel better. Love yourself no matter what stage you're in.
