I think people are different in terms of how much fat/ protein ratio that their bodies need for effective fat loss. Too much fat or an imbalance in my protein and fat intake doesn't work for me.
I have found as a menopausal woman that high fat and moderate protein helps with my crazy hormones and eat once a day and can still lose weight. If I eat higher protein with high fat I gain weight. The fat helps me so much with sleep and up and down hormonal issues. So I choose this way and feel my best. Hope this helps someone.
Howdy all, 28 y/o man here. If anyone is curious about brain injury and carnivore diet, I asked Dr. Chaffee, in a superchat about 3 weeks ago, how capable the brain is of healing trauma on carnivore. My brain injury was in November of 2015, not 2014 as I stated in my comment. My brother, our friend and I were out shooting gun in the badlands of North Dakota on that fateful day. I brought my muzzleloader and they had two different pistols that we were shooting for around an hour or so. We had all fired my muzzleloader at least once with me shooting it the most. It was a .50 cal, and it had a pretty good kick, and at 19 y/o I was "bullet proof". After about the 6th shot I reloaded it and pulled the trigger and when I came to I was laying on my face on the ground, it exploded out the left side and blew some pretty nasty wounds into my left wrist and the barrel sheared off the stock, flew backwards and cracked my skull on the right side about 2 inches above my rght eyebrow. We had to drive 28 miles to the hospital where the did X-rays, and stitched up my wrist. There was a deep cut that they couldn't stitch because of it's proximity to the radial artery, they said around 2mm away from hitting it. I was then airlifted to another hospital 100 miles away and underwent brain surgery. My hospital stay was only 3 days because I got very lucky, the neurosurgeon told me if the barrel had hit an inch to the right or left, I'd most likely have been partially paralyzed. For the next 5 years, I dealt with intense paranoia, depression, mania, terrible sleep, migraines, and mild auditory hallucinations. I self medicated with booze and food and other terrible stuff. I was around 300 lbs when the incident happened, and ballooned up to around 375 lbs, depending on the day. In 2020 I got really into fasting, starting with OMAD, and slowly progressing into 2, 3, 5, 7, and 14 day fasts over the next year and a half. I dropped from 375 to 275 purely by fasting, and along with the weight loss all my mental issues went away within that time. I never did psych stuff or meds, so I know for sure it was the fasting. Only been carnivore since june last year, and I'm down to 255 now, and I can say for sure that the carnivore "diet" is the only one I've been able to stick to. Definitely changed my life for the better. I got back into weight lifting and sprinting, got rid of brain fog and pain in my left wrist, I'm probably twice as strong now as I was back when I was a fat tub of seed oil and booze, and I've always been the strong one at any job or group of friends I've had. Thank you to anyone that reads this whole post, I know it's long. If anyone needs advice on fasting or how to cope in a healthy way with brain injury, I'm fairly experienced in both of those areas. Dr. Chaffee, if you read this, thank you for your generosity with your time. I know your time is incredibly valuable, and with how much you give your viewers and the carnivore community I don't know how you ever sleep or have time for anything resembling relaxation.
That is incredible. Massive applause to you for taking control of your fkn health and DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT instead of being the VICTIM. I’m an ER nurse and the strain on healthcare is only getting worse due to the western diet and lazy lifestyle. Sucks for us hospital staff and sucks for patients since wait times are ridiculous. So applause to you man, great job. I’m a travel nurse too, might make my way up to North Dakota one day! The dakotas always kind of pulled me I feel, but NOT during winter 😂 And yes I agree, idk when Chaffee sleeps. Actually he said in one video he does from like 11p-5am lol. Later bedtime he says cuz he’s back in the gym✊🏼You could never tell he wasn’t huh!
@dyldabeast9176Jesus Christ, are all the other people that claim it healed them crazy also? There are an absurd amount of people with no monetary motives whatsoever that talk about how it healed them, made them lose weight, and feel better than they have since they were in their teens. I’ve lost 65 pounds because of this diet, I feel more mental clarity than I have since my early 20s, my freaking varicose veins are healing which didn’t happen when I lost the same amount of weight a decade ago on a carb based diet. My blood sugar is fantastic, all my inflammation has disappeared I was waking up with tooth pain every night on a carb diet for years! Not anymore! No joint pain nothing. It is an amazing diet it definitely heals the body in my own personal experience. Have you tried the diet? I challenge you to do it for 30 days. If you do it properly you will be shocked.
Wow. You are a proof that even brain injuries benefit from carnivore or low carb, and intermittent fasting. This is different than carb or fructose induced brain damage, and still it heals up on low carb, wow
This is the kind of testimonial that needs to get wider attention. I would encourage you to get your story out. I don't know what you do for a living but your writing is good, it's evocative and honest without being overwrought. You are probably aware of the reasons for the inaccurate dietary information that has been taught. Dr Chaffee has made videos on this topic as have others, Dr Jason Fung for example, Dr Robert Lustig and authors such as Gary Taubes and Nina Teicholz. Because of the dietary misinformation many people are not doing the right things for themselves. It's not their fault, they are doing what they were taught but the price they are paying is too high. For that reason, someone with a story like yours can do a lot of good. We need stories like this to counter what people have been taught. It is my hope that eventually as more studies are done and people successfully change their diets, the recommendations will finally change. It will take time and effort, entire industries will have to shift and vested interests in will want to continue making the profits they have made on products that are not healthy. In the meantime, we have to do everything we can to get accurate information to people. It is potentially life-saving for many and I believe it is our responsibility. A few years ago I came across a channel that articulated a rule; if you have the means to help, you have the responsibility to do so. It was interesting because it made explicit something I believe. I wish more people felt an ethical or moral responsibility to help others. This should not be interpreted to require sacrifice, but if we can at minimal cost to ourselves do significant good for others, we probably should. This response is getting lengthy. If I can help you get your story out or offer advice on how to do that, I would be glad to do it. My background is at least partially relevant. Thank you for posting your story. Whatever you do, please post it widely on UA-cam and in other forums. Your story will inspire others and that inspiration may save lives.
I respect you so much! If big money or big pharmaceuticals gets to you I would be so disappointed. You’re one of the few people I listen to. So far my husband, my aunt and myself are all carnivore because of your wisdom. I’m 52 days Carnivore. I’m rooting for you! You will take us into another era of health and I truly believe that! Go Dr. Chaffee!
There’s a massive difference between a “heavy meat eater” who is also taking in processed shit and carbs, And a person on a clean ketogenic diet, like Carnivore. The Randle Cycle is the issue, not the meat consumption

It is so amazing how quickly my carb cravings disappear after eating beef and eggs. Those cravings are def getting less and less but they still do creep in…but how quickly the disappear after proper meal!! When I was high carb, I feel like I could stuff myself with veg and potatoes and still be like what’s next? Whilst having a bubbly bloated abdomen ew
Yay... I'm really glad you spoke to the lady that is very thin and you told her you had that happen too. I went from 120 down to 100. Sometimes dip to 99. I'm 5'4" and what I'm hearing you say is you're prescribing me to eat my favorite thick cut of meat, that my husband must grill outside every day and since my fav is New York...add lots of butter. 💥🥩💥🥳💥🥩💥 Sounds great!
I have a problem with the grill though. Doesn't the fat drip down into the grill.? When I get up the nerve to buy a steak ($$) and try to cook it I'm going to do the oven to 110 temp then pan sear it.
I can eat dairy with no issues whatsoever. I have been eating it my whole life and have no intention of stopping. I am 2 years carnivore and I'm thriving.
I can’t eat dairy anymore. Never thought it was a problem til I went carnivore. Now it hunks up my throat and gives me indigestion. Coffee and cream are both irritants for me and I crave it so much. Went to water or herbal teas and I feel good! Lost 35 lbs by end of second month on carnivore. Dairy also puts weight back on for me
I had many issues around dairy and happily after some detoxing through elimination diets, fasting, and strict carnivore, I have been able to integrate some of it back into my life without inflammation. I think depending on one's evolutionary path/ heritage, different people may be able to successfully include dairy while maintaining a carnivore lifestyle.
@dyldabeast9176I am pretty sure lions, sharks and other carnivores don't live in a house, have a job and are using a phone, WiFi and you tube as well. We are human beings .
Carnivore for a month from keto... diabetes 2.….Blood test yesterday lowest A1C ever.st 5....all numbers are PERFECT...no meds. THANK YOU!! Kickin it at 67 due to doctors like you!!!
Beef tallow scrambled eggs with sea salt if you eat breakfast is a game changer. So tasty. Keeps me satiated until my dinner at night..then it's time for steak.👍
@Kwildcat13 Hi there, i agree, that's why i was asking about how many eggs they have .....im really struggling to eat enough protein each day and continuously dropping weight 😫 I'm adding tons of fat to whatever im eating too, i used to have a HUGE appetite on a "standard uk diet" but now I'm struggling as i find protein so filling. Also lost a bunch of hair 😪
I was raised generational Seventh-Day Adventist, vegetarian. I left the church and vegetarianism when I was 21yo so I'd go for punching out Dr. Kellogg for many reasons. I had health issues from early childhood, including celiac. I looked like a starving child and had random severe stomach cramps that made me beg to die. I am just beginning my Carnivore journey.
total truth " earning the respect of your body " after years of cheating it and abusing if you do not feed instead of restrict you will hinder your progress ...Progress over Perfection you will WIN!! Dr Chaffee is truly spot on and America needs this education!!
I love ❤️ it! When you go off on a wild tangent is such a sign of super awareness. Thank you so much for being there and helping all of us be healthy 🥳🙏👍👏
Anthony, you are so based I love it! I'm so glad I found carnivore, and I'm especially glad I found you. You have so much knowledge about the biology and politics of all of this in a way that no other carnivore on youtube does.
What's funny about salting steaks. Is I salt pretty close to the same every time. Some days the steak is too salty , sometimes not salty enough and other days perfect saltiness.
Yes I know exactly what you’re talking about too! I salt the same but some nights I’m like WHOA. And also with bacon, sometimes I like 😣eck too salty. Other nights I’m like yah baby bacon saltinesssss. Interesting huh! Goes along with days of greater hunger and less hunger!
" overweight " is relative. As you become more overweight your metabolic health may suffer. I believe obesity on its own is still considered a major risk factor.
As one who has been overweight my entire adult life for multiple decades, I can certainly testify that their is a massive difference between being unhealthily overweight (ie: a lazy binge-eater who hibernates in front of their computer) and healthy overweight (ie: a carnivore who is working out but the weight is staying on.)
If you're just starting The carnivore diet. And you're coming from the standard american diet. It seems best to gradually reduce your Sugar or carb intake gradually. This greatly decreased my Cravings. I started On a weekly basis , reducing my carb intake from one hundred grams to less than ten grams. I reduced my carb intake by twenty five grams each week till less than 10. I had Very few cravings doing this method. Start a two months ago and have lost 40 pounds. As soon as I started to reduce the sugar I began to lose weight almost immediately. I was probably consuming two hundred fifty or more grams of sugar per day prior to starting the diet. Before I had tried to start cold turkey and had huge cravings. This time the cravings were very minimal. Also I intentionally had all my sugar/carb intake early in the morning all at once. Also didn't get the keto flu symptoms.
Dr. Chaffee is humorous. 😊 There are some people who genuinely like the taste of vegetables, ya know. I’m carnivore and have given up veggies, but it certainly wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy them. They were delicious!!! I needed to give them up for health reasons and am content with only meat, eggs, butter and tallow. But veggies…. Yummmm. God bless you, Dr. Chaffee. Still appreciate you.
What scares me is I’ve worked so hard to get down to 204. I’ve gone from 265 to 204 and all I’ve ate for the last two months is 1lb of 80/20 grass fed ground beef with a half stick of butter to add onto the fat per day. Should I be adding even more fat than that? Just don’t want to lose progress I’m losing fat like mad, my skin can’t keep up with it hoping it shrinks down but we will see might have to get surgery if it doesn’t. Other option would be to build muscle to help fill in the loose skin but that’s another topic in mainly concerned about my fat loss.
Funny you should mention this, David Higgins lost a ton but has tight skin.he did “100” workouts every day. Super light weight and a ton of reps and it tightened skin as he lost weight
When talking about fasting, i was quite surprised to hear him use the calories in - calories out model of metabolism. That model has generally been shown to be inaplicable to those on keto and carnivore because insulin levels are back to normal functioning. With fasts under 3-5 days, the "starvation" he refers to, with a loss of muscle mass and decrease in metabolic rate and energy, isn't observed. People such as Dr Fung and Dr Mason have videos discussing the research on this
When I starved myself my body held into weight. Now I eat daily, maybe 2-4 times a day according to hunger. I'm losing weight easily. Giving up herbs was the best thing I've done recently. I've lost more now because of that. I'm such a happy camper now. ❤😊
After trying Dr. Chaffee’s way of dry-brining ribeye and frying in tallow, I don’t want any other way now. Ground beef is great doing it the same way too. Thanks Doc for the fantastic advise and information you deliver continuously.
I knew I respected you. I first thought it was your meekness and transparency but really it’s that and just your integrity. Thank you for all that you do.
I'm glad your channel so successful Dr, you are bringing great help with these QA sessions. I wish the ads were less frequent, they interrupt your answers quite a bit.
Ty! I get concerned about ppl complaining of not losing weight, following channels that promote protein only days etc. Obviously that's going to increase blood sugar, and also signal to your body to hold fat because obviously there's a famine going on in the animal world and that's why all the meat you're eating is so lean o_0 The dieting and "challenge" approach on some channels to me shows misunderstandings about fat and protein that can even be dangerous for some followers with kidney issues etc.
I have CKD and I have increased my protein intake due to losing protein in my urine. My GFR has improved from 3 to 2 in 3 months. It makes no sense to decrease your protein if you are losing it in your urine. Your body will just start using your muscle tissue for protein otherwise.
I haven’t lost much weight at all. But I’m going to stick to it. I’ve been doing this since 11/23. I will see what happens after 6 months. Im shooting for a minimum of one year
Wow...Dr Keyes mention! Compare THAT to the debate Dr Westman had with Dr Kahn, who kept defending Keyes as he wrote the Keyes biography and loved him. Weird. He got very indignant when challenged on any point of Dr. Keyes' research or conclusions. Wild!
Great video, there is a lot of great clips in this video. Please have an editor look trough it and extend your reach by making important clips. It will help the community grow and find specific topics.
I had puffy feet and thick calves before carnivore but when i dropped the added salt on carnivore my feet have never looked and felt better. Can see my ankle bones and foot tendons again. Had too much salt on carnivore when i started.
Just had a check up after one year carnivore. A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5 and my B12 levels were 1117 pg/mL which I found a bit surprising. But I guess a bit above “normal levels” is ok. It actually had me a bit worried. Thanks for what you do.💕
I have days were i do not consume much as far as meat...then i will have days where i crave and eat meat throughout the day....been doing Carnivore for 3 months... I've "tested" what hurts me every 2 to 3 weeks, and has only affirmed for me the solid truth...meat and fat and Celtic Sea Salt are the best...it might be subtle, or just "In my head", as it appears the type of sea salt you consume makes a difference ...
It’s hard to test because like he said eating carbs requires more vitamin c. So one thing might be ok for you, it just requires some adaption. But yes in general meat and water is the easiest option.
I can’t eat fat. One thing I discovered on carnivore. It gives me diarrhea and that’s why I went on carnivore was to heal my issues. One being over 20 years of chronic diarrhea. Not going to say I’m low fat I just do not add fat. No gallbladder here. I do cook eggs in butter or bacon fat. But I quit adding fat. I learned that watching steak and butter gal.
Dr C, I’ve read coffee is good for the liver because it cleans it out. That doesn’t make sense to me. Isn’t the liver self cleaning? Are there economic benefactors disseminating propaganda on the supposed benefits of coffee? Could this be another “BIG LIE” foisted upon us? Respect!
Dr Chaffee is completely wrong about fasting slowing the metabolism, whether intermittent or extended, I know this from my own experience. There is a big difference between the body's response to fasting and under eating. Dr Jason Fung has deeply studied fasting in conjunction with weight loss and I would follow him on fasting. There are a number of other fasting experts on You Tube that would be able to give you far better information on the topic. Studies quoted by Dr Fung have shown that the metabolism actually speeds up about ten percent during fasting, which would make ancestral sense. A caveman who didn't succeed in hunting one day would die if his metabolism slowed as he didn't eat as he would have less energy on subsequent days.
I am confused now Doctor, cuz I watched your older video, where you processed your meat with a lot of SALT on all sides and put on a rack in the fridge, to have a more tender beef to eat. So what do you do now, since you say you don’t eat salt anymore? Thanks for answering
Your analogy at the end about smoke and fire is exactly the same for bacteria. When you can find the same bacteria in a person with and without an illness, common sense would tell you that the bacteria is not the cause of the dis "ease" to keep looking for another cause. I can tell you as a medical professional, myself, I was never ever taught it was actually called germ "theory". That's a rabbit hole too.
1:09:01 a calorie is the energy required to raise the temp of water. So fundamentally our body needs energy to function and if you aren’t intaking the number of calories needed to function then your body will burn fat for energy.
Dr Chaffee, can you please make it where the people who watch your videos later can see the Chat Replay? I used to always be able to see it but for the last several ones you've done I cannot. 🙂
Unfortunately the live chat replay is only available when people watch the original UA-cam Lives. The algorithm stops pushing the lives after a week or so though which is why we put them out as a normal video to get it out to more people. But it doesn't come with the live chat unfortunately
@@anthonychaffeemd Oh, I had no idea. I see the chats of Dr. Berry and Kerry Mann when I watch it much after the live is aired, at least I think I do, lol. Thank you for responding!
I don’t really like the weight loss focus. People should start thinking body composition, and call it fat loss instead, and try to build some muscles in the process.
I am age 70 male been keto for 2 years ever since 6 months before my heart attack! (no damage) I then evolved from keto to ketovare in 2023 and into carnivore since mid December. 5'8" 177 lb at max now at the low 140s 130s just around the corner maybe tomorrow. I am thinking that I may have been at or near this weight when 18. Will this finally bottom out, or do I need to go back to eating carbs again? @@andyc7747
@@andyc7747 I am male age 70 177lfb. Mid 2022 during covid after shots, did not feel started keto. February 2023 150lbs heart attack! (No damage) went from Keto to ketovore to carnivore this past December. Now I may hit the 130s in the next week or so. I do not recall what I weighed at age 18! Do I need to start eating carbs, or will this level out eventually?
Hi Dr. Chaffee, I am 70 years old and was unable to be active do to a medical issue since 2016. Therefore I consumed junk and gained 50lbs. Now I am doing the Carnivore but I seem to get stuck at 196, so far lost 6 lbs in 4 weeks.Why will it not ever move faster.
I just watched your debate with Mathew Nagra. I only want to say that you won the debate by listening and being calm. and I don’t know if you’ve seen his opening comments rubbishing you in point form. OMG poor fellow Anyway I learned a lot from your demeanour and conversely from his. ? Is pasta less harmful than spinach? Anyone got an opinion?
Sometimes I find that I don’t want to eat after 1 meal. I’m not purposely trying to restrict calories. Today I ate a 1.3 pound sirloin steak and haven’t wanted anything else. Should I force myself to eat?
I have done carnivore for 6 months, basically hamburger and ribeye, I have gained 32 pounds and now I am going to stop, I can’t gain any more weight and I don’t feel good, but should I try keto?
This happening to me now. After being carnivore for over 3 years suddenly bacon is tasting WAY to salty. Can’t even eat a piece of it. For years I could eat packs of this stuff no issues now I can’t stomach the saltiness.
Fasting requires some variation in the fasting schedule to avoid any metabolic set rate. I wouldnt do 10 days of fasting every 30 days. But once a year, maybe ok. The Fasting Method has a lot of clinical experience with fasting. Fasting led me get to carnivore. It had its place in my life and my opinion is it has its place in getting healthy and with weight loss. Not eating for 16-18 hrs is considered intermittent fasting.
Dr Chaffee did say once that you don’t really need electrolytes, 99% of the time, you need WATER. And if you take in just more salt or the LMNT packets, you’ll be MORE thirsty! I used to do LMNT each day and salted my food like crazy. And good lord I was a thirsty MFer. And peeing all night is annoying. But now I don’t take in any electrolyte packets and salt meat and eggs to taste. Which is less than a few months ago I feel. And I don’t get low bp or dizziness. I will say, the Deep South in the summertime and you’re working out outside or at the Caribbean, all these places so hot and humid, then yeah I felt the need for LMNT and lots of water haha. Cuz working out won’t stop✊🏼so just gauge it off your sweat!
For the guy who did 5 marathons in a row without eating, doesnt the body also produce glucose for energy ? As well as growth hormone while you rest on an empty stomach ? I can see him accomplishing it. 😀
Interesting about fasting. Dr C didn’t you say a fasted metabolic state is our natural state? I read that dry fasting will initiate autophagy, produce new stem cells and make the immune system more robust. Dr Chaffee is this not the case? Respect!
Dr.Chaffee, can you tell us please what to do if we have trouble digesting fat? Seems we need a strong digestive system and many of us starting this diet are a little weak in that area. Thank you for all you share with us. xx
Wait it out. It took me 12 months before I was bomb proof with fat. I had a stiff and congested gallbladder. Avoid liquid fat in the beginning. Ease the fat in later. I eat loads now without issue.
I've gone from LCHF to super LC, pretty much 67% fat and 35% protein, carbs down to 2-5%. I am now struggling to maintain my minimum weight, 1kg below minimum at moment. I avoid the word carnivore, as I don't adhere 100% to carnivore. Plenty fish, cheese and eggs.
I have a question: Is it common to have a darker colored urine while in ketosis? Mine is often dark yellow to orangy to sometimes light brown. I never had this. I drink 1,5 to 2 ltrs a day. I take magnesium and vitamin d3/k2. I have still also a bad taste in my mouth and a dry tongue, especially in the morning.
I would say yes. When I fast, and I have done a 21 day water fast in the past the urine does go quite dark and an orangy colour as toxins are being filtered out. It does tend to get lighter the more advanced the fast is. You can search urine colour on water fasting.
For me it's almost impossible. Doesn't matter how much I eat, I can't gain any weight. Eating a lot of fat too, butter, ghee, fatty Ribeyes... Don't know what to do I'm starting to be very disappointed. I want to check out my thyroid, also my tst level is very low 😕 I'm 35 years old, 170cm and 59 kg...
Let go of obsession with calories. Trade it for obsession of 2:1 counting of protein to fat. How does this make sense? Now I need a book on protein and fat. SMH
What obsession? You just eat fatty meat until it stops tasting good, and get enough fat so that you're not constipated. How is that complicated? 1 to 2g of fat per 1g of protein is just a rough range for people to aim for and adjust to their needs.
I (61M) have had Parkinson’s for about 17 years and have lost too much weight- 60lbs+ I would like to try carnivore to see if it would benefit PD symptoms. However I can’t afford to lose more weight. As I was typing I heard solution would probably be to increase fat intake ?
I have uti klepsiela pneunonia due to using the wrong antibiotics unwisely over long period and h I have a manifestation of sores on my head every now and again. Would the carnivore diet change that?
Did I hear correctly that its ok and normal to pass stool 2-3 times a month? Wow, in Ayurveda that would be considered chronic constipation, it should be everyday! 😱

Howdy all, 28 y/o man here. If anyone is curious about brain injury and carnivore diet, I asked Dr. Chaffee, in a superchat about 3 weeks ago, how capable the brain is of healing trauma on carnivore.
My brain injury was in November of 2015, not 2014 as I stated in my comment.
My brother, our friend and I were out shooting gun in the badlands of North Dakota on that fateful day. I brought my muzzleloader and they had two different pistols that we were shooting for around an hour or so. We had all fired my muzzleloader at least once with me shooting it the most. It was a .50 cal, and it had a pretty good kick, and at 19 y/o I was "bullet proof". After about the 6th shot I reloaded it and pulled the trigger and when I came to I was laying on my face on the ground, it exploded out the left side and blew some pretty nasty wounds into my left wrist and the barrel sheared off the stock, flew backwards and cracked my skull on the right side about 2 inches above my rght eyebrow. We had to drive 28 miles to the hospital where the did X-rays, and stitched up my wrist. There was a deep cut that they couldn't stitch because of it's proximity to the radial artery, they said around 2mm away from hitting it. I was then airlifted to another hospital 100 miles away and underwent brain surgery. My hospital stay was only 3 days because I got very lucky, the neurosurgeon told me if the barrel had hit an inch to the right or left, I'd most likely have been partially paralyzed.
For the next 5 years, I dealt with intense paranoia, depression, mania, terrible sleep, migraines, and mild auditory hallucinations. I self medicated with booze and food and other terrible stuff. I was around 300 lbs when the incident happened, and ballooned up to around 375 lbs, depending on the day.
In 2020 I got really into fasting, starting with OMAD, and slowly progressing into 2, 3, 5, 7, and 14 day fasts over the next year and a half. I dropped from 375 to 275 purely by fasting, and along with the weight loss all my mental issues went away within that time. I never did psych stuff or meds, so I know for sure it was the fasting.
Only been carnivore since june last year, and I'm down to 255 now, and I can say for sure that the carnivore "diet" is the only one I've been able to stick to. Definitely changed my life for the better. I got back into weight lifting and sprinting, got rid of brain fog and pain in my left wrist, I'm probably twice as strong now as I was back when I was a fat tub of seed oil and booze, and I've always been the strong one at any job or group of friends I've had.
Thank you to anyone that reads this whole post, I know it's long. If anyone needs advice on fasting or how to cope in a healthy way with brain injury, I'm fairly experienced in both of those areas.
Dr. Chaffee, if you read this, thank you for your generosity with your time. I know your time is incredibly valuable, and with how much you give your viewers and the carnivore community I don't know how you ever sleep or have time for anything resembling relaxation.
That is incredible. Massive applause to you for taking control of your fkn health and DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT instead of being the VICTIM. I’m an ER nurse and the strain on healthcare is only getting worse due to the western diet and lazy lifestyle. Sucks for us hospital staff and sucks for patients since wait times are ridiculous. So applause to you man, great job.
I’m a travel nurse too, might make my way up to North Dakota one day! The dakotas always kind of pulled me I feel, but NOT during winter 😂
And yes I agree, idk when Chaffee sleeps. Actually he said in one video he does from like 11p-5am lol. Later bedtime he says cuz he’s back in the gym✊🏼You could never tell he wasn’t huh!
@dyldabeast9176Jesus Christ, are all the other people that claim it healed them crazy also? There are an absurd amount of people with no monetary motives whatsoever that talk about how it healed them, made them lose weight, and feel better than they have since they were in their teens. I’ve lost 65 pounds because of this diet, I feel more mental clarity than I have since my early 20s, my freaking varicose veins are healing which didn’t happen when I lost the same amount of weight a decade ago on a carb based diet. My blood sugar is fantastic, all my inflammation has disappeared I was waking up with tooth pain every night on a carb diet for years! Not anymore! No joint pain nothing. It is an amazing diet it definitely heals the body in my own personal experience. Have you tried the diet? I challenge you to do it for 30 days. If you do it properly you will be shocked.
Wow. You are a proof that even brain injuries benefit from carnivore or low carb, and intermittent fasting. This is different than carb or fructose induced brain damage, and still it heals up on low carb, wow
@dyldabeast9176 he’s already made massive improvements. And Dr Chaffee isn’t selling anything 😅
This is the kind of testimonial that needs to get wider attention. I would encourage you to get your story out. I don't know what you do for a living but your writing is good, it's evocative and honest without being overwrought.
You are probably aware of the reasons for the inaccurate dietary information that has been taught. Dr Chaffee has made videos on this topic as have others, Dr Jason Fung for example, Dr Robert Lustig and authors such as Gary Taubes and Nina Teicholz. Because of the dietary misinformation many people are not doing the right things for themselves. It's not their fault, they are doing what they were taught but the price they are paying is too high.
For that reason, someone with a story like yours can do a lot of good. We need stories like this to counter what people have been taught.
It is my hope that eventually as more studies are done and people successfully change their diets, the recommendations will finally change. It will take time and effort, entire industries will have to shift and vested interests in will want to continue making the profits they have made on products that are not healthy.
In the meantime, we have to do everything we can to get accurate information to people. It is potentially life-saving for many and I believe it is our responsibility.
A few years ago I came across a channel that articulated a rule; if you have the means to help, you have the responsibility to do so.
It was interesting because it made explicit something I believe. I wish more people felt an ethical or moral responsibility to help others. This should not be interpreted to require sacrifice, but if we can at minimal cost to ourselves do significant good for others, we probably should.
This response is getting lengthy. If I can help you get your story out or offer advice on how to do that, I would be glad to do it. My background is at least partially relevant.
Thank you for posting your story. Whatever you do, please post it widely on UA-cam and in other forums. Your story will inspire others and that inspiration may save lives.
I respect you so much! If big money or big pharmaceuticals gets to you I would be so disappointed. You’re one of the few people I listen to. So far my husband, my aunt and myself are all carnivore because of your wisdom. I’m 52 days Carnivore. I’m rooting for you! You will take us into another era of health and I truly believe that! Go Dr. Chaffee!
@dyldabeast9176 Ok. Maybe hug your furbee and finish the 2 liter of coke while you wait for help to stand up.
@dyldabeast9176seeth
@dyldabeast9176riiiiiiiiiight.
Not going to happen. You only have to listen to him for a short time to understand how much he actually cares about other people.
There’s a massive difference between a “heavy meat eater” who is also taking in processed shit and carbs,
And a person on a clean ketogenic diet, like Carnivore.
The Randle Cycle is the issue, not the meat consumption

It is so amazing how quickly my carb cravings disappear after eating beef and eggs. Those cravings are def getting less and less but they still do creep in…but how quickly the disappear after proper meal!! When I was high carb, I feel like I could stuff myself with veg and potatoes and still be like what’s next? Whilst having a bubbly bloated abdomen ew
Yay... I'm really glad you spoke to the lady that is very thin and you told her you had that happen too.
I went from 120 down to 100. Sometimes dip to 99. I'm 5'4" and what I'm hearing you say is you're prescribing me to eat my favorite thick cut of meat, that my husband must grill outside every day and since my fav is New York...add lots of butter. 💥🥩💥🥳💥🥩💥 Sounds great!
😂. Love it. Eat away girlfriend 🎉
Feel free to grill it yourself grills don’t care who uses them, my wife is very skilled on the grill and smoker.
@jeffjensen2083 lol... you didn't see what I did there, though 😉
@@lynnetuckercarnivore Oh I saw that, just making sure you didn’t think it was an obstacle if he’s not around.
I have a problem with the grill though. Doesn't the fat drip down into the grill.?
When I get up the nerve to buy a steak ($$) and try to cook it I'm going to do the oven to 110 temp then pan sear it.
I can eat dairy with no issues whatsoever. I have been eating it my whole life and have no intention of stopping. I am 2 years carnivore and I'm thriving.
I can’t eat dairy anymore. Never thought it was a problem til I went carnivore. Now it hunks up my throat and gives me indigestion. Coffee and cream are both irritants for me and I crave it so much. Went to water or herbal teas and I feel good! Lost 35 lbs by end of second month on carnivore. Dairy also puts weight back on for me
I had many issues around dairy and happily after some detoxing through elimination diets, fasting, and strict carnivore, I have been able to integrate some of it back into my life without inflammation. I think depending on one's evolutionary path/ heritage, different people may be able to successfully include dairy while maintaining a carnivore lifestyle.
Don’t need to eliminate things that aren’t affecting you negatively.
@dyldabeast9176I am pretty sure lions, sharks and other carnivores don't live in a house, have a job and are using a phone, WiFi and you tube as well. We are human beings .

Carnivore for a month from keto... diabetes 2.….Blood test yesterday lowest A1C ever.st 5....all numbers are PERFECT...no meds. THANK YOU!! Kickin it at 67 due to doctors like you!!!
Beef tallow scrambled eggs with sea salt if you eat breakfast is a game changer. So tasty. Keeps me satiated until my dinner at night..then it's time for steak.👍
How many eggs would you have? I can only manage 4 🥲
Just bought a small bucket of tallow...I will try this for sure!
@@Empots123 4 eggs is what I eat each time and sometimes I add some cheese. And then my main meal in the evening I eat a steak.
@Kwildcat13 Agreed, personally I go with either 2lbs of beef a day, or 1lb and 6-8 eggs with 2 cans sardines
@Kwildcat13 Hi there, i agree, that's why i was asking about how many eggs they have .....im really struggling to eat enough protein each day and continuously dropping weight 😫 I'm adding tons of fat to whatever im eating too, i used to have a HUGE appetite on a "standard uk diet" but now I'm struggling as i find protein so filling. Also lost a bunch of hair 😪
I was raised generational Seventh-Day Adventist, vegetarian. I left the church and vegetarianism when I was 21yo so I'd go for punching out Dr. Kellogg for many reasons.
I had health issues from early childhood, including celiac. I looked like a starving child and had random severe stomach cramps that made me beg to die.
I am just beginning my Carnivore journey.
total truth " earning the respect of your body " after years of cheating it and abusing if you do not feed instead of restrict you will hinder your progress ...Progress over Perfection you will WIN!! Dr Chaffee is truly spot on and America needs this education!!
Thank you, Dr. Chaffee! You have changed my life, and countless thousands of people are improving their health because of what you are doing.
Greetings from Poland 🎉 Thank you for your work. I watched you in an interview with our Rodzeń Brothers ❤
I love ❤️ it! When you go off on a wild tangent is such a sign of super awareness. Thank you so much for being there and helping all of us be healthy 🥳🙏👍👏
Anthony, you are so based I love it! I'm so glad I found carnivore, and I'm especially glad I found you. You have so much knowledge about the biology and politics of all of this in a way that no other carnivore on youtube does.
What's funny about salting steaks. Is I salt pretty close to the same every time. Some days the steak is too salty , sometimes not salty enough and other days perfect saltiness.
I know exactly what your talking about. I experience the same. I suppose that’s your body telling you how much salt you need at the time. 🤷♂️
Yes I know exactly what you’re talking about too! I salt the same but some nights I’m like WHOA. And also with bacon, sometimes I like 😣eck too salty. Other nights I’m like yah baby bacon saltinesssss. Interesting huh! Goes along with days of greater hunger and less hunger!
Same here. Exactly what happens to me.
Me five ! 😊
«Overweight but healthy» - That ladies and gentlemen is what we call an oxymoron
Overweight and metabolically healthy is a reality.
" overweight " is relative. As you become more overweight your metabolic health may suffer. I believe obesity on its own is still considered a major risk factor.
Mad cow?
As one who has been overweight my entire adult life for multiple decades, I can certainly testify that their is a massive difference between being unhealthily overweight (ie: a lazy binge-eater who hibernates in front of their computer) and healthy overweight (ie: a carnivore who is working out but the weight is staying on.)
I think less unhealthy would be more precise.
If you're just starting The carnivore diet. And you're coming from the standard american diet. It seems best to gradually reduce your Sugar or carb intake gradually. This greatly decreased my Cravings. I started On a weekly basis , reducing my carb intake from one hundred grams to less than ten grams. I reduced my carb intake by twenty five grams each week till less than 10. I had Very few cravings doing this method. Start a two months ago and have lost 40 pounds. As soon as I started to reduce the sugar I began to lose weight almost immediately. I was probably consuming two hundred fifty or more grams of sugar per day prior to starting the diet. Before I had tried to start cold turkey and had huge cravings. This time the cravings were very minimal. Also I intentionally had all my sugar/carb intake early in the morning all at once. Also didn't get the keto flu symptoms.
Dr. Chaffee is humorous. 😊 There are some people who genuinely like the taste of vegetables, ya know. I’m carnivore and have given up veggies, but it certainly wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy them. They were delicious!!! I needed to give them up for health reasons and am content with only meat, eggs, butter and tallow. But veggies…. Yummmm. God bless you, Dr. Chaffee. Still appreciate you.
I feel like I loose more body fat eating lots of fatty meat than fasting. Not sure though
What scares me is I’ve worked so hard to get down to 204. I’ve gone from 265 to 204 and all I’ve ate for the last two months is 1lb of 80/20 grass fed ground beef with a half stick of butter to add onto the fat per day. Should I be adding even more fat than that? Just don’t want to lose progress I’m losing fat like mad, my skin can’t keep up with it hoping it shrinks down but we will see might have to get surgery if it doesn’t. Other option would be to build muscle to help fill in the loose skin but that’s another topic in mainly concerned about my fat loss.
Funny you should mention this, David Higgins lost a ton but has tight skin.he did “100” workouts every day. Super light weight and a ton of reps and it tightened skin as he lost weight
Bro that is so true, i started eating leaner cuts and i started gaining weight, i added fat and i started losing fat, seriousle
When talking about fasting, i was quite surprised to hear him use the calories in - calories out model of metabolism. That model has generally been shown to be inaplicable to those on keto and carnivore because insulin levels are back to normal functioning. With fasts under 3-5 days, the "starvation" he refers to, with a loss of muscle mass and decrease in metabolic rate and energy, isn't observed. People such as Dr Fung and Dr Mason have videos discussing the research on this
When I starved myself my body held into weight. Now I eat daily, maybe 2-4 times a day according to hunger. I'm losing weight easily. Giving up herbs was the best thing I've done recently. I've lost more now because of that. I'm such a happy camper now. ❤😊
Its better to do intermittent fasting, so your body can use more of its stored body fat
@@TerriblePerfectionmore like weird
Feasting is just as important as fasting.

After trying Dr. Chaffee’s way of dry-brining ribeye and frying in tallow, I don’t want any other way now. Ground beef is great doing it the same way too. Thanks Doc for the fantastic advise and information you deliver continuously.
I tried that and was absolutely gagging on the salt and gained 4 lbs. Hoping it's just water weight. I'm heavier now after 4 weeks only meat.
@@joannbrown2842Dr Chaffee doesn't really salt much these days he said
I knew I respected you. I first thought it was your meekness and transparency but really it’s that and just your integrity. Thank you for all that you do.
I'm glad your channel so successful Dr, you are bringing great help with these QA sessions. I wish the ads were less frequent, they interrupt your answers quite a bit.
My first year of carnivore I could not do any dairy at all. After that first year I could handle it...
What happened during your first year if you ate dairy? Symptoms? or did it prevent weight loss?
Thank you again Dr Chaffee for all your sound knowledge!
Thank you so much, Dr Chaffee!🙏 ❤🙏❤️🙏
No 2 2-3 times a month is absolutely NOT normal...
Carnivore (ish) since January 1st and lab vit D has gone up 😊 without taking supplements first time for me in years of following labs.
Drop the ish from your diet.
Ty! I get concerned about ppl complaining of not losing weight, following channels that promote protein only days etc. Obviously that's going to increase blood sugar, and also signal to your body to hold fat because obviously there's a famine going on in the animal world and that's why all the meat you're eating is so lean o_0 The dieting and "challenge" approach on some channels to me shows misunderstandings about fat and protein that can even be dangerous for some followers with kidney issues etc.
I have CKD and I have increased my protein intake due to losing protein in my urine. My GFR has improved from 3 to 2 in 3 months. It makes no sense to decrease your protein if you are losing it in your urine. Your body will just start using your muscle tissue for protein otherwise.
I haven’t lost much weight at all. But I’m going to stick to it. I’ve been doing this since 11/23. I will see what happens after 6 months. Im shooting for a minimum of one year
Wow...Dr Keyes mention! Compare THAT to the debate Dr Westman had with Dr Kahn, who kept defending Keyes as he wrote the Keyes biography and loved him. Weird. He got very indignant when challenged on any point of Dr. Keyes' research or conclusions. Wild!

Great video, there is a lot of great clips in this video. Please have an editor look trough it and extend your reach by making important clips. It will help the community grow and find specific topics.
I had puffy feet and thick calves before carnivore but when i dropped the added salt on carnivore my feet have never looked and felt better. Can see my ankle bones and foot tendons again. Had too much salt on carnivore when i started.
I was very disappointed to find that the carnivore bar is only available in the USA, not even here in Australia where Dr. Chaffee lives 😒
Thank you for the health advice. It helped me a lot.
Thank you Anthony Great Talk!😁
Loved the "tangent" btw 👌🏾 I call it truth. Everyone should have their freedoms
Just had a check up after one year carnivore. A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5 and my B12 levels were 1117 pg/mL which I found a bit surprising. But I guess a bit above “normal levels” is ok. It actually had me a bit worried. Thanks for what you do.💕
Nice flow on your Q&A Anthony. Great job! So starting a family soon ? 😊
P.S. did you get a chance to see Part 1 of Dr Cywes and Isabella interview? Just cking. She's amazing. WHAT A STUDY!
Isn't "Idyopatic intercranial hypertension" just an observation, rather than "diagnosis"?
I have days were i do not consume much as far as meat...then i will have days where i crave and eat meat throughout the day....been doing Carnivore for 3 months... I've "tested" what hurts me every 2 to 3 weeks, and has only affirmed for me the solid truth...meat and fat and Celtic Sea Salt are the best...it might be subtle, or just "In my head", as it appears the type of sea salt you consume makes a difference ...
It’s hard to test because like he said eating carbs requires more vitamin c. So one thing might be ok for you, it just requires some adaption.
But yes in general meat and water is the easiest option.
I can’t eat fat. One thing I discovered on carnivore. It gives me diarrhea and that’s why I went on carnivore was to heal my issues. One being over 20 years of chronic diarrhea. Not going to say I’m low fat I just do not add fat. No gallbladder here. I do cook eggs in butter or bacon fat. But I quit adding fat. I learned that watching steak and butter gal.
Dr C, I’ve read coffee is good for the liver because it cleans it out. That doesn’t make sense to me. Isn’t the liver self cleaning? Are there economic benefactors disseminating propaganda on the supposed benefits of coffee? Could this be another “BIG LIE” foisted upon us? Respect!
I wish there was a sample meal plan for a 2-1 fat protein ratio
Amazing video. Thank You for your persistence ;P
Anybody start singing in their head Huey Lewis and the news I want a new drug? You found it!
Dr Chaffee is completely wrong about fasting slowing the metabolism, whether intermittent or extended, I know this from my own experience. There is a big difference between the body's response to fasting and under eating. Dr Jason Fung has deeply studied fasting in conjunction with weight loss and I would follow him on fasting. There are a number of other fasting experts on You Tube that would be able to give you far better information on the topic. Studies quoted by Dr Fung have shown that the metabolism actually speeds up about ten percent during fasting, which would make ancestral sense. A caveman who didn't succeed in hunting one day would die if his metabolism slowed as he didn't eat as he would have less energy on subsequent days.
Good information! Thanks!
I am confused now Doctor, cuz I watched your older video, where you processed your meat with a lot of SALT on all sides and put on a rack in the fridge, to have a more tender beef to eat.
So what do you do now, since you say you don’t eat salt anymore?
Thanks for answering
YES Dr Chaffee! Safe to say, you and I and others here will NOT develop cancer, I’d put money on it
Thank you
Your analogy at the end about smoke and fire is exactly the same for bacteria. When you can find the same bacteria in a person with and without an illness, common sense would tell you that the bacteria is not the cause of the dis "ease" to keep looking for another cause. I can tell you as a medical professional, myself, I was never ever taught it was actually called germ "theory". That's a rabbit hole too.
Why did you stop posting on Rumble? Love the content just prefer it there.
What is your opinion on kangaroo meat?
1:09:01 a calorie is the energy required to raise the temp of water. So fundamentally our body needs energy to function and if you aren’t intaking the number of calories needed to function then your body will burn fat for energy.
Dr Chaffee, can you please make it where the people who watch your videos later can see the Chat Replay? I used to always be able to see it but for the last several ones you've done I cannot. 🙂
Unfortunately the live chat replay is only available when people watch the original UA-cam Lives. The algorithm stops pushing the lives after a week or so though which is why we put them out as a normal video to get it out to more people. But it doesn't come with the live chat unfortunately

I just watched your debate with Mathew Nagra. I only want to say that you won the debate by listening and being calm. and I don’t know if you’ve seen his opening comments rubbishing you in point form. OMG poor fellow
Anyway I learned a lot from your demeanour and conversely from his.
? Is pasta less harmful than spinach?
Anyone got an opinion?
Both!!!
Spinach is very high in oxalates. Pasta is high in carbs and sugar. Also what you add to the pasta is bad.
Sometimes I find that I don’t want to eat after 1 meal. I’m not purposely trying to restrict calories. Today I ate a 1.3 pound sirloin steak and haven’t wanted anything else. Should I force myself to eat?
I must counter this for my experience is eating clean carnivore to satiation, I maintain but do not lose- and I should lose 20-30#.
I have done carnivore for 6 months, basically hamburger and ribeye, I have gained 32 pounds and now I am going to stop, I can’t gain any more weight and I don’t feel good, but should I try keto?
This happening to me now. After being carnivore for over 3 years suddenly bacon is tasting WAY to salty. Can’t even eat a piece of it. For years I could eat packs of this stuff no issues now I can’t stomach the saltiness.
Fasting requires some variation in the fasting schedule to avoid any metabolic set rate. I wouldnt do 10 days of fasting every 30 days. But once a year, maybe ok. The Fasting Method has a lot of clinical experience with fasting. Fasting led me get to carnivore. It had its place in my life and my opinion is it has its place in getting healthy and with weight loss. Not eating for 16-18 hrs is considered intermittent fasting.
Low vit D my entire life until I became a keto carnivore.
Dr Chaffee did say once that you don’t really need electrolytes, 99% of the time, you need WATER. And if you take in just more salt or the LMNT packets, you’ll be MORE thirsty! I used to do LMNT each day and salted my food like crazy. And good lord I was a thirsty MFer. And peeing all night is annoying. But now I don’t take in any electrolyte packets and salt meat and eggs to taste. Which is less than a few months ago I feel. And I don’t get low bp or dizziness.
I will say, the Deep South in the summertime and you’re working out outside or at the Caribbean, all these places so hot and humid, then yeah I felt the need for LMNT and lots of water haha. Cuz working out won’t stop✊🏼so just gauge it off your sweat!
For the guy who did 5 marathons in a row without eating, doesnt the body also produce glucose for energy ? As well as growth hormone while you rest on an empty stomach ? I can see him accomplishing it. 😀
Interesting about fasting. Dr C didn’t you say a fasted metabolic state is our natural state? I read that dry fasting will initiate autophagy, produce new stem cells and make the immune system more robust. Dr Chaffee is this not the case? Respect!
My A1c went up from 5.9 to 6.1 my insulin level was 3
Should I fast for 3 days to bring BG down quicker?
Dr.Chaffee, can you tell us please what to do if we have trouble digesting fat? Seems we need a strong digestive system and many of us starting this diet are a little weak in that area. Thank you for all you share with us. xx

I have a question: Is it common to have a darker colored urine while in ketosis? Mine is often dark yellow to orangy to sometimes light brown. I never had this. I drink 1,5 to 2 ltrs a day. I take magnesium and vitamin d3/k2. I have still also a bad taste in my mouth and a dry tongue, especially in the morning.
I would say yes. When I fast, and I have done a 21 day water fast in the past the urine does go quite dark and an orangy colour as toxins are being filtered out. It does tend to get lighter the more advanced the fast is. You can search urine colour on water fasting.
How can I add fat? Unfortunately butter is out due to casein allergy. Fatty red meat and tallow is less than 1 gram of fat to 1 gram of protein.
How do I gain weight on carnivore? Cannot have dairy 😢
For me it's almost impossible. Doesn't matter how much I eat, I can't gain any weight. Eating a lot of fat too, butter, ghee, fatty Ribeyes... Don't know what to do I'm starting to be very disappointed. I want to check out my thyroid, also my tst level is very low 😕 I'm 35 years old, 170cm and 59 kg...
I'm a 64 year old female, 5'3". I've been carnivore since Jan 2023. I have reached a weight plateau of 190 lbs. It seems I can't loose any more. Why?
Me exactly. I’m eating just meat. Thought that may help. Nothing. I am absolutely stuck at 180
See Kelly Hogan. Eat small protein meals 25-30g = 150g meat and plenty of fat to bring up your intake.
I have plateaued and cannot lose anything more. My goal is to lose 30 more lbs. I am afraid to add more food in case I gain my weight back.

Let go of obsession with calories. Trade it for obsession of 2:1 counting of protein to fat. How does this make sense? Now I need a book on protein and fat. SMH
What obsession? You just eat fatty meat until it stops tasting good, and get enough fat so that you're not constipated. How is that complicated? 1 to 2g of fat per 1g of protein is just a rough range for people to aim for and adjust to their needs.
I'd fast for autophagy not fat loss
So you don't recommend intermittent fasting?
I've been wondering why I've been plateaued for almost a month. Now I think I've been eating too much protein and not enough fat.
I'm beginning to think that's my issue as well...
I (61M) have had Parkinson’s for about 17 years and have lost too much weight- 60lbs+ I would like to try carnivore to see if it would benefit PD symptoms. However I can’t afford to lose more weight. As I was typing I heard solution would probably be to increase fat intake ?

I have a manifestation of sores on my head every now and again. Would the carnivore diet change that?

Did I hear correctly that its ok and normal to pass stool 2-3 times a month? Wow, in Ayurveda that would be considered chronic constipation, it should be everyday! 😱
