Hi Judy. This is one of your best and most informative interviews so far. I am really excited what is going to happen and to what is this going to come out to. Saladino now pro fructose, showing the research, you against fructose showing the research. Liver, no liver, information flying all over the place... when Dr. Anthony said that there is a specific plant that needs a specific bird to be able to germinate its seeds, that was really a shock. This coevolution. I was for 2 years and 4 months on a Keto/Carnivore and then I went off to experiment with carbs because I didnt feel that good. I started to be very sensitive to light and sounds, I was constipated and I had to use coffee every 3 days to get a bowel movement and no amount of fat would fix this and somehow it felt very off during the bowel movement. And now experimenting with carbs 4 months in, in the beginning it was good but I am starting to feel not so good. Tried the fruits out as saladino suggests and now trying out white rice. It gives me some strange heart hickups, a bit of pain in the liver and it feels like my gut is getting hurt. I will be returning to Keto and try to do full carnivore... I really want that this Carnivore diet works good but I dont know what to do anymore. It would be so good if it would work fully good. Thank you and keep up the good work. ps. You definitely need to have a discussion with dr. Saladino. That would be a bomb.
I thought I was eating enough fat by adding 25-50 grams of butter and still didn't feel great. I had to lower my protein to around 30grams each meal and had between 3 and 4 meals a day - so roughly 100-150 grams of protein and I started to feel better. But seeing the amount of fat I had to eat in a day was the big shocker. I wasn't coming close to it! So I had to count my macros for a few days so I could see what I needed and didn't just guess it. Or... cheese can give me really bad constipation. Maybe you are eating too much? I love cheese but I limit myself to a few slices a week (20grams of Cheese?) But if you are really sensitive to Cheese then maybe you will have to give it up all together.
6 year hyper carnivore. Animal products only. I have never been healthier. Reversed endometriosis, migraines, nasty seasonal allergies, excema and keratosis pilaris. My skin is beautiful. I also build muscle like crazy and I just turned 50. I couldn't be happier
@@breannajoy I did not have a laparoscopy. I had an MRI, a contrast CAT scan and 3 different types of ultrasounds. They wanted to remove my uterus. It reversed in a month or so. The allergies were a bonus. I never thought they were food related.
I'm 45. The only way I feel good is when I'm carnivore or if I am ketovore on very, very, very low amounts of some low carb veg. I put on muscle very easy, I stopped having migraines, I don't have joint pain, I don't crave much of anything, I sleep well, my PCOS is GONE and I am no longer insulin resistant. I've been off and on carnivore/ketovore for 4 years now. Currently I'm technically ketovore (I eat pickles, onions and blueberries in very small quantities), but I cycle between carnivore and ketovore. This WOE is the way. Everyone should do this.
I personally was following Saladino's advice of having honey and fruit for more than a year and my gut and my mental health have been going haywire all this time. I stopped all carbohydrates and am 100% carnivore now. Starting to feel better as time passes.
The same thing happened to me! Loved trying out the raw honey, but it lead me to the SAD of sucrose sweets, and later, pre diabetes. Keto got my A1c to lower, but those keto treats also led me back to SAD. Back on Carnivore and feeling great!
What matters is the journey. You know what has helped and not. And in the future, as you continue to heal, you can figure out what makes you feel best. 💗
I noticed he started that after he did an interview with Dr. Gundry. They both went to Loma Linda University which believes in the vegetarian diet . Saladino caught a touch of Gundry flu !!
I have been LCHF 4 years. I have been 100% carnivore several times for 2 or three months at a time. I am now 100% carnivore again after listening to this doctor. I am 78 yrs. old but don't feel like I am that old. I sure take a lot of nay saying from doctors and friends. My fitst year I dropped 100 lbs. from 270 to 170 and never got hungry and have held 170 lbs. since no problem but I would like to lose 10 more lbs.I am sticking to this 100% from now on if possible and shut out the nay sayers. I seem to be in excellent health and feel excellent.
Outstanding info! Way to debunk arguments that don't hold water. ✔️ Hats off to Judy for not interrupting. 🎩 Even though she's board certified in nutrition, she quietly listens, taking in every detail. Amazing and helpful to us!
I’ve been 100% Carnivore for 4 years, psoriasis gone, joint pain gone, brain fog gone, pre diabetes gone, insomnia gone, high blood pressure gone. Lost 50 pounds as a result of eating this way. Energy all day. I will eat this way for life 🥩 meat heals
AMAZING! I have several clients that still struggle with psoriasis so that is wonderful. Psoriasis is very deeply rooted in the gut and skim microbiome. I'm really glad to hear you are healing. 🥩🥩
This was absolutely helpful. I went OMAD keto with no more than 5gm of carbs a day for 14 months and lost over 30kg and was feeling really good. I’m 61 and was diagnosed with RA in 2020 and that’s why I turned to keto. I tried carnivore a couple of times but got so constipated it was really scary. I’ve been scared of trying carnivore again but I now realise I wasn’t eating enough fat, even though I was eating what seemed like a lot of fat on the keto diet. I have gained a little bit of weight in the past 6 months because I broke my routine and also have been eating too many nuts, mostly almonds. Today I started the carnivore regime thanks to your other video that guided me on what the ‘macros’ should be for my ideal weight. Kind regards from Tasmania, Australia ❤
Sickness, weakness, and stress have become normalized in our society. So has injury, joint pain, back problems, and premature aging. It doesn't occur to most people that this should be considered unusual. That is because few people in the modern world have ever lived in a healthy society in following a healthy diet and lifestyle. The few remaining examples of healthy societies (e.g., hunter-gatherer tribes) are not a part of our everyday experience, particularly in the West.
Some people have never felt well a day in their life and have no idea what that is. I sure didn’t. The first time I ever felt well in my life, was the first day I was plant-free. I never felt well my whole life even as a small child that was always forced to eat lots of fruits and veggies. Sick since I was 2-3 years old. No one can convince me that carnivore is bad for me because I feel so much better now.
I was keto for quite a long time and then got turned onto the carnivore diet for autoimmune issues. The more I dove into it and started following Dr. Saladino the more I thought wow this is great I can have fruit too! I love fruit, except I noticed when I’m strict carnivore I’m very emotionally stable no anxiety nervousness depression or cravings. Once I eat fruit, honey, or even a sugar-free cough drop the cravings start and it’s almost like the trigger gets flipped in my head and I’m just down that rabbit hole. I haven’t been doing this long term yet but I feel my best strict carnivore and I’m gonna ride it out until I see if this is the diet for me. I must say it resonates with me on such a deep profound level it must be truth.
I am 57… and after going Ketogenic almost 4 years ago.. close to 2 years ago I just have transitioned into mainly carnivore .. I eat meat and animal products almost exclusively… I feel better , have excellent health markers and have reversed my morbidly obesity and all that came with it ! 🥩
That’s generally the process. I was keto for 2 years and now carnivore. I’m allergic to egg whites but still, nothing sits as well in my stomach after a meal, like meat. Standard US diet-keto-carnivore. That’s how it goes. Ps, I had peripheral neuropathy in my toes. Went keto, and it stopped.
Welcome to this community and our collective journey toward optimal health! I was vegan and vegetarian off and on for decades. Though I was skinny, I never felt strong or healthy. Energy levels were always low, and I always looked tired. Once I became ketovore and now carnivore, I feel so strong, healthy and full of energy! At 50, I can put on muscle more easily when I weight train than when I was in my 20s and 30s. I hope you find your optimal health, too! I recommend watching Dr Berry’s videos, too. I’ve learned so much from him, too!
Adding fruit definitely caused an increase in hunger for me personally. When I eat ground beef and eggs in the morning 5:15 (I work on a farm) I can easily make it to dinner just hungry. If I eat fruit I'm starving by 1 and have a headache.
@@theoryofpersonality1420 I see that you're really looking for what to eat. Here's the easiest thing to do in my opinion: Eggs Ground beef ( regular is better than lean) Ribeye, blade, brisket, TBone ( fatty cheap cuts) Pork belly ( not bacon but tastes just like bacon when you salt it) And then some pork( fatty bone in cuts.) and bone in skin on chicken. Fatty fish like salmon and tuna and sardines if you can handle them. Save all your bones and make your own stock. Save and cook with all your meat broth from roasts or from the slow cooker. The meat both cooks down and makes a great sauce .
@@jeffgobert9325 thanks for the comment. This is going to be harder than I thought. I don't like food. 😞 the only meat I usually eat is boneless, skinless chicken breast with no fat at all. Probably what's wrong with me. I was 120 pounds at 5 foot 8 for 40 years. Then I got sick. I have been sick for the last 2 1/2 years with lung cancer. Because of the meds and inhaler I've gained some weight. I had back surgery years ago so the weight makes that hurt. Ive tried everything else I have come across. I've never heard of people claim the results like the people in these comments do. At this point I'm willing to try anything. My options are that or a slow death. 🐌 first habit I have to break is burying the fat free meat I do eat in rice or potatoes. I have hypoglycemia. Low blood sugar attacks. This diet says to cut out all glucose. Yet the doc gave me glucose pills. I mildly afraid I might fall out if I don't take them. He also said I need to drink things like juice. I'm stuck in this cycle of needing glucose to keep my blood sugar up and not wanting it. You seem very knowledgeable on the subject so I figured I ask you. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I've been mostly animal based for 2 years and Saladino was one of those I followed for information when I started. I stopped listening to him as soon as he started promoting fruit and honey, as a carb addict that was terrible advice for me and made no sense. This was a great talk, so much useful information, thanks.
I've listened to this podcast twice and just watched the video. This is definitely one of the best you've done. Great content. I tried adding fruit recently, and the results were not good. Thank you for everything you're doing. Have Dr. Chaffee again. Very interesting and motivating.
Totally agree with you! There’s no way I can add fruit, I’d 100% overeat it and spiral out of control. I’ve never heard of Dr. Chaffee but now I’m a follower. He was VERY motivating when he said to “eliminate the last little bit of carbs or sweetener, coffee, etc” if you’re still not feeling good on carnivore. (I’m having a hard time letting go of stevia and coffee)… this was a great interview and worth listening to over and over.
@@jensss. i also have tea and coffee with sweetener. I gave up smoking 8 years ago after smoking most of my life (the best thing i ever did)I have to get to the point of WANTING to give up my 2 teas with milk and 2 coffees with double (heavy) cream and i don’t as yet 😟
I just had asparagus, supposed to be the best Keto veg ever, with my ribeye! Had horrid gas pains the next morning...not adding any more. I loved the news that Brussel Sprouts is so bad for me. I love them, charred with balsamic. Never again! I'm 100% into just meat now. Thanks guys
Perfect timing for me! I just started adding small apples and navel oranges into my meat-based diet this week. I noticed that my snack cravings are waking up. I'll finish the groceries I have on hand, then it's back to strict carnivore for me.
Brilliant interview! I am at the very start of my carnivore journey literally day 1...as I have been vegan for 5 years and veggie 12 years prior so big change for me. My health is bad I have IBS very painful achey joints and mostly low energy low mood and struggle to get out of bed. I am also hoping to study to become a nutritional therapist and feel so inspired by you Judy so thank you so much x
I’ve been there. I got sucked into it after watching game changers. Funny how you convince yourself that your body is just cleansing itself. I feel great on carnivore, no wild mood swings, no intestinal issues either.
UA-cam started recommending Dr. Chaffee videos to me maybe a month ago. The first one I saw was a short of him shirtless meal prepping with a giant Chuck roast 😍. Like many of the long term carnivores, he is just an incredibly beautiful and fit human being physically. Then I listened to him speak and realized, again like the other long term carnivores, he has a lot of good information to share. He doesn’t even know it, but he’s helping me get back on the carnivore bandwagon after falling off during pregnancy. Love your content, Judy!
@@w1975b I’ve been a big fan of Kelly for a few years now, and she’s no doubt a champ for being carnivore throughout three pregnancies. I could not overcome the food aversions and morning sickness despite my best efforts to remain carnivore. However, I did prioritize protein and limit sugar while pregnant. I’ve since delivered my healthy baby boy, and I’m back on the all meat wagon. Have a great day!
Lol dude is on tatestosterone. Look at the hunter gatherers who eat predominantly meat diets. None of them are "jacked"! Y'all are being played by these carnivore bros who take steroids.
@@loyal7597 if you're going to compare 2 things you have to consider multiple factors. Do the hunter gatherers intentionally lift hundreds of pounds on a regular basis the same way Dr. Shawn Baker and (not as much/often per his schedule) Dr. Chaffee do?
I’m new to you Judy but I found you via Mikhalia Peterson and then Dr Berry. I just started your diet after being sick for 30 years! Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, stomach Ulcer, gall bladder out, high EBarr markers, hypothyroid disease, diabetes 2, allergies, gut issues, nervous system effects like MS + scary muscle & bone loss. I had NAFLD diagnosed which i think I cured with medical mediums liver rescue cleanse, but the catch is I stayed on that very low fat, very low protein & mainly veggie diet & got sicker that I ever thought possible in a year of doing that! The Carnivore diet going well after 4 weeks on it - So far so good. I know for sure I’m having allergic responses to the veggies I was eating on that MM diet bc as I tried to reintroduce them. Still not ready for that yet. I highly recommend your book! Thank you!
Very informative interview. I’m a 58 year old male who recently started eating carnivore; beef, bacon, eggs, salmon and very little dairy in the form of cheese and very small amounts of heavy cream. I’ve been physically training since I began amateur boxing in 1974. My initial concern was regarding endurance. I participate in ultra endurance events. Only 2 months into carnivore and I’m surprised that I have even more energy than I did when eating between 150-250 grams of carbs per day. Concerning coffee, I’ve not had any of the issues Dr. Anthony mentioned in this interview. No crashes, and certainly no muscle soreness. I recently rucked 71 miles and ran 29 in a month’s training for an event. Training also regularly involves 1,000 + rep sessions; again, no muscle soreness to speak of. Thanks for the podcast!
Anyone with hypoglycemia will find what Dr. Chaffee is saying about metabolism to be very intuitive. I've always needed to snack every few hours to not feel awful. If I wasn't eating enough, or ate foods with a high glycemic index, I'd wake up at 3AM feeling nauseous, in a cold sweat, and convulsing for 30min until I ate some sugar to calm it. Eventually I got severe Crohn's/UC around 23 y/o. I went carnivore 3 years ago and got off of medications, came out of a flare with the diet alone, and my energy hasn't felt this stable in my whole life. I feel like a normal human for the first time. @ 23:40 also yep, I was skinny and muscular, working out every day when I got Crohn's. Thought I was healthy since I was slim, but inside I was falling apart.
When I first found carnivore ( Saladino introduced me to it funny enough ), I got pretty lost in the 'science' fairly quickly. So, I followed as many Keto, Carnivore and Vegans that I could find and it became apparent very quickly who was thriving and who was struggling. There is a reason people 'look' healthy, much as there is a reason 'hunger' guides people when to eat and not.
Love this interview. I have started sort of carnivore diet for a few months. Like it a lot. I have been debating whether I should go 100%. I still eat berries, & occasionally do some cheat meals on carb due to my spouse. But after watching this interview, I might try 100% carnivore for good. I started Intermittent fasting almost 2 yrs ago plus Keto about a year & lost 50 lb. I gained back 10 lb, because I looked too skinny. Now, I look & feel some much better, & have been maintaining my weight for a yr. I will definitely not going back on the SAD diet...ever. I mostly have OMAD, & I don't have to think about eating for 12 hr working. So free...no worry about packing lunch or snacks. Everyone should try carnivore diet to see how much benefits it gives our bodies. And I agree, eating more fat helps. Eating lean meats can make you feel sick.
I've done strict carnivore in the winter time. The only berries I'll eat are what I seasonally pick growing in the wild. And the berries I eat are mostly only found along the path I take for jogging. So, I burn off the sugar quickly.
Judy, I just bought your book. I want to thank you and Dr. Chaffee for this video. I struggled with keto it has helped but I needed to just get rid carbs altogether. There is a lot of information overload out there has been confusing. For me any any carbs are slippery slope and I feel so much better without any carbs. I just want thank you for getting this information out to us and am grateful.
Increasing fat, salt and water in small increments each day and now I can finally feel good again. He is right about the not eating enough fat thing. I recommend butter and whipping cream to help, also sour cream, it was hard for me at first, I was eating too much bacon and felt sick from that fat. I learned to introduce a little bit more fat each day instead of all at once.
I think I am up to 4,000mg sodium daily, 100oz water, and close to 100g fat. I need to go higher, on all three. I still drink coffee, but about half of what I used to drink.
Such an amazing discussion touching on and clarifying so many issues - so grateful that you talked about Dr Saladino’s “remarkable” (startling!) change in strategy after his short success of having been a such a staunch carnivore “influencer” - the mind boggles!! I stopped following him when he started pushing his products! Thank goodness for the likes of yourselves and Dr Ken Berry who consistently set things straight, in this space.
Since doing carnivore as a woman I feel more feminine it's definitely sorting my hormones and many other things in my body and mental health. Carnivore is very healing. Fruit and grains the Suk diet (standard UK diet) I've had my whole life definitely made me very ill and debilitating.
Judy, thank you very much. Another fantastic interview. I really appreciate you sharing a balanced & rational approach to an animal based diet. So much noise out there. You provide quality & common sense that helps me stay on track. Carnivore keeps my binge eating disorder in remission. You are a big part of my success. 🙏🏻❤
@@theoryofpersonality1420 do you not know what HF carnivore is? YT comments aren't used for personal consultations. However, Judy has many videos that will help you find your way. Good luck.
I wanted to add to the hypothyroidism part and how keto wrecked my thyroid. I developed nodules and had hair loss due in part to what I believe to have been low salt and, on keto, a lot of the veggies are high in oxalates (almonds, peanuts, spinach, dark chocolate). I hadn’t found carnivore til after having my thyroid removed. Although I am stuck the rest of my life taking meds, I will continue to eat meat to prevent any more unnecessary surgeries as best I can.
Great information, I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. I'll be watching it again to glean more. I hope you will get together with Dr. Chaffee again. Thank you ❤️ for the information you provide and the way you do the interviews.
This was great interview. Explained why I feel tired, and feel muscle loss. I added fruit to my diet to be "metabolic flexible" . Learned a lot. Thanks.❤❤
To all of you who are in concern fruit or not fruit and other plants is, try it for yourself. It sounds simple but it's not easy. Why? To try it for yourself means, 1st you should reset your human taste leaving all plant matter for a while. And after some time test one plant at a time. I did this when I was 19 years old, but leaving processed food first and went strict keto. After 2 years later my sense completely changed and I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO MY OWN HUMAN TASTE-SENSE-INTUITION. And I rely it on to this day, in my 34. I listen to genuine souls such as Judy, recognize signs, patterns. In 99% of what I heard on this channel echoed my experience. So, work on your innate sense and wisdom, your body will tell. But prior to that, restart the system to be able to rely on it. Fat, the best calmer, healer, friend for my mood, sleep, brain. Lamb's favorite!
As I continue to follow you, I am increasingly impressed. I have been very concerned with honey and fruit in the carnivore diet; it did not help when Saladino described his decline on pure carnivore. I may just have to hire you!
Thank you for this. I really love watching everything and anything from good carnivore pro people, it helps me to keep encouraged in my carnivore journey...2 months in and only 1 week full carnivore.
I tried Keto for years and have been carnivore for about 12 days. I can attest to feeling much better on zero carb versus low carb. I used to get weak feelings all the time doing keto. It's only happened 2 times since going carnivore and I assume that's my blood sugar adjusting and probably insulin resistance being healed hopefully.
I think resetting your system and breaking addictions caused by the SAD diet and then when the body is sensitive again, make your body the ultimate experiment. Introduce things in you think are fine and pay attention. Tailor your diet according to you. I am easily addicted so I do better with a stricter diet that doesn't cause me to go on a carb bender which leaves me anxious and depressed. That may be different for others though I think it happens a larger amount of us then people think. Loved this interview. ❤
I love your comment. I’m also easily addicted. I can EASILY avoid SAD diet processed foods and sugar, my problem is FAGE yogurt and Stevia. I’ve been “Ketovore” for two years (All meat plus stevia, coffee, spices and dairy) my main problem is Stevia. I add it to my yogurt and coffee w/ HWC…then I overeat the yogurt and over drink the coffee thru the day. If I can just give up stevia, I won’t want plain yogurt or black coffee. I feel like I’ve already given up so much that I’m holding on to that “last little bit” that is actually making me feel crappy. I will easily over eat vegetables too, I have always loved them but they make me break out and bloat. Sorry for the long reply but sometimes I see relatable comments and I end up venting lol. You left some great advice here so thank you.
@@jensss. - I've had similar problems. Instead of trying to get rid of the stevia at first, get rid of the coffee and yogurt. Allow yourself that last bit of sweet taste while transitioning. Drink herbal teas or lemon water for a while and add stevia to that. Once you've gotten over your desire for coffee and yogurt, then maybe eliminate that remaining craving of stevia. By the way, when I gave up all sweeteners, including stevia for a time, I found that even yogurt and kefir tasted somewhat sweet. The taste buds and brain adapt.
I could listen to the two of you forever. Ive seen so many videos from both of you and I still learn something new everytime. Im not sure how Im just mow stumbling on this video from a year ago.
I've noticed in the short term that I've been trying carnivore(ish), that a fair number of people seem to develop histamine issues. I've noticed an uptick in histamine issues. A doctor I worked with for a while said that a high sulfur diet from animal foods (eggs, dairy, meats) slows down the liver's detox abilities (specifically aldehyde dehydrogenase) and histamine builds up as a result. I'd love to see a video on this. Another video I watched of a guy who had to give up carnivore after 8 years was fairly compelling to me. He still eats meat but has balanced it out with other foods. Dr. Paul Saladino now advocates some fruit after his own experience and that's mine too, I need some to feel good. I get the impression that strict carnivore's success is a person to person thing, some can do it, others it doesn't work for.
It can be an indication of gut healing that's needed. Sometimes our body is so muddied up with other noise that we don't have the histamine response. This will be really individualized so I'd take it on a case by case basis. A lot of my histamine-sensitive clients have mold or gut issues. I do think we all have to figure out what makes us feel best in the long-term. 💗
@@NutritionwithJudy Thanks, I've also wondered if it has to do with oxalate issues being unmasked. It seems oxalate dumping can trigger histamine issues with people.
Carnivore in the short term 30 - 90 days works great to heal your gut biome and leaky gut complications. The emphasis is obtaining fresh and clean cuts and avoidance of cured and highly processed sources. This is very limiting as long run solution to those w/ a histamine intolerance. I am searching for ketovore diet, w/ heavy emphasis on histamine handling and avoidance of cured and highly processed meat, and plant-base food w/ emphasis on amines, histamine, glutamates, oxalate, salicylates, sulfites, thiols (sulfur intolerance) and nightshades. Right now its trial and error for me when reintroducing plant food. It would be great to have a guide, quick tips to food pairing that can help alleviate reactions.
Wonderful discussion.. Very inspired to give up that last tiny percentage of non carnivore. Very helpful take when Dr. Chaffee explained how you're likely to feel WORSE on low carb than high. These little bowls of kefir fruit and honey are not serving me. And I hate the increased hunger any carbs cause for me
Oh man! Kefir, honey, and blue berries!!!! I’m with you. I’ve been on a 50 carb diet for years-all meat and dory and it was still too many carbs. Went back on carnivore two weeks ago and feeling great. Sure do miss my kefir n honey though :D
Iv started the all meat no plant life style and I’m in a learning curve. I listened to a Dr whom started back on fruits, of course I took the opportunity and his reasoning as Serious because he mention that he almost died on the all meat diet that interest me and I brought some fruit a banana and some pineapple the reaction was ugly, I blew up like a balloon. I had abdominal pain, I am grateful that I have been off fruit long enough to know what it is doing to me when I do ingested. I have even lost the good feelings that Fructose. used to give. Now “It’s hunting Season”
This was a very interesting conversation but I really feel much MUCH better adding honey & local fruits back into my diet. I wonder if there could be a difference depending on location and lifestyle? I live in hot south texas and work outside most of the day, and a bit of winter oranges or summer watermelon in the afternoon has been an absolute lifesaver 🤷🏼♀️ to each their own I say.
Great conversation. Maybe a conversation with Dr. Paul Saladino would be great. I started on a pure carnivore path which was great. I did see alot of results however, i had issues and i added in fruit and honey and i feel better. Still losing weight just feeling better.
The ability to get almost any food in excess today certainly clouds the results, even things like organs that we consider good for us. It is amazing that we know the human body tries to operate as efficiently as possible in every process that occurs, yet we wonder why those processes are screwed up when we eat larger amounts of anything we can get now that we would not have been able to before.
My first carnivore book to read was "The Hyper Carnivore, eat meat get healthy plants optional" by Don Matesz. It has lead me down the rabbit hole of health and questioning the standard presented to us by government, pharma and the medical system.
Dr Lustig has a great lecture called Sugar, the bitter truth that really explains how sugar and fructose works. He works with obese children. That opened my eyes to not give my children any more fruit juice, even freshly squeezed, soft drinks had rarely been a thing but I thought juice was good🤦🏻♀️
Me too, 40 years T1D and fruit will instantly raise blood sugar a lot, NOT worth it! I purposely use tiny amounts of honey to raise low blood sugar and usually just 1/2 teaspoon does it.
N of 1.... I'm almost at full carnivore, I've been keto long time. I want to see if carnivore with help tinnitus, dry eyes, toe nail fungus.... let's see.. This was very sensible discussion, thx!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!! This is so good to hear you two CARE for people and be logical and wise with the information you receive!! I also giggle at the sarcasm 😁
I'm totally on board with Chaffee's comments right at the end. He emphasizes the importance of looking at all sides and all evidence in greater detail. Even among the more well informed, I've noticed how easily people get stuck in a position and then are unable to acknowledge anything that challenges or questions it. Paul Saladino seems to have fallen into that problem in terms of fruit and sugar. He could quickly discover that the honey season for the Hadza only last a few months of the years. Fruit also is mostly found in a particular season. These aren't staples of the year-long diet. Saladino now has become committed to his opinion. Not only his identity but his credibility is now on the line.
Judy, you always have my favorite guys on the show! Dr Johnson and Dr Chaffee, and next I suggest Phil Escott! Another great guest would be Dr Sean O'Mara.
The Great Fruit Debate. Dr. Saladino opened a can of worms in the carnivore community when he went off claiming fruit fixed his hormone and electrolyte issues he was having on carnivore. He's still N=1, while there are carnivore veterans that haven't had any of those issues being carnivore longterm. Hadn't thought about the overconsumption of liver possibly causing thyroid issues.
Doesn't mean everyone who goes carnivore will have the same experience. The Armstrong sisters fixed their amenorrhea adding carbs back in which carnivore didn't fix. I know a lot of people who got worse on carnivore. It's not for everyone. It works for a lot of people, especially short-term, but it doesn't fix everything.
I listened to this gent on another channel and found myself relating to most of what he talks about. The basic simplicity is it. These perspectives are not difficult to find once you just let go and let meat do its job. The Plant Free MD (has a nice jingle) mentioned renaissance influencers. Here's another one I came across recently: Michel Eugène Chevreul. This guy gave fatty acids their name, influenced neo-impressionist painting by developing laws of color theory as connected to lipids research, and lived to 102. A devout anti-spiritualist. Rooted in reason & logic. Obviously, a carnivore...
4 year carnivore here. January 1of last year I tried the Vonderplanetz diet . The little bits of honey and the raw dairy quickly escalated. I had gained 25 lbs by July then 5 more as I tried to get off the honey and dairy during the next 3 months. Worse was the cravings and the feeling of being controlled by an unnatural appetite. Once an addict always an addict.
I can't help but think of how much sense that it makes: if you put something like brocolli in your mouth and it doesn't taste good, ( unless you cook it so that it's crunchy and burnt ), then it's not something we should eat. Not meant for us. Eating meat though, even very rare is amazing to me.
Judy, I hope you clip the explanation of why we shouldn't eat fructose, and make it a short out-take video. I can share it to my carnivore groups who are having the fruit discussion🙄🧐
There's one on Instagram and facebook now. We are moving away from UA-cam clips. There will be another on Thursday! instagram.com/p/CakP6IljNzo/ and fb.watch/buaj8PDfle/
I have no trouble deciding who to listen to in the diet world. I just ask myself 'who is looking the best?' and it's Chaffee for the win. (Judy looks amazing too! Her skin is like a pearl.)
I love eating meat only and I’ve been doing great. What gives me pause is hearing people/professionals talk with such certainty, especially when there’s something they gain from their message. I’ve been around long enough to be weary of individuals who say things like “this is right and everyone who disagrees is wrong.” Doesn’t deter me from eating this way but people, especially professionals, need to accept that they may not have it 100% right.
I agree with this 100%. Are you talking about one of us? The more I learn, the more I realize, there's just so much more to know. So I might be missing your context...

[1:35:42] Meat-based diet can be done long-term --------------------------------- Detailed Summary: [00:00]Dr. Anthony Chafee discusses his experience with the meat-only diet and the benefits of a carnivore diet - Dr. Chafee first discovered the benefits of a meat-only diet while studying cancer biology in university and realizing the high levels of naturally occurring poisons in vegetables - He then exclusively ate eggs, meat, and milk for 5 years while playing professional rugby and felt amazing - Years later, he came across evidence that humans are carnivores and started eating a meat-only diet again, experiencing great health [05:15]Eliminate carbohydrates and sugar for better health - Fructose is metabolized and broken down in the same way as alcohol, leading to health issues - Carbohydrates fundamentally change your biochemistry and metabolism - Fasting or a carnivore diet can provide health benefits - Insulin forces energy into cells and blocks access to fat cells, leading to a reliance on carbohydrates - Carbohydrates also block the hormone leptin, which tells your brain when you're full [14:29]Carbohydrates, particularly fructose, are harmful to health. - Studies suggest that people who consume only meat in their traditional setting are healthier. - Honey contains fructose and falls under the sugar category, which should be avoided. - Fruit may seem benign, but many fruits and berries in the world are poisonous. - Fructose gives a quick hit of energy but is not a good long-term idea for metabolic health. [19:02]Fructose is one of the worst drugs on earth - Fructose is addictive and kills areas of your brain like methamphetamine - It damages your body causing cirrhosis, diabetes, heart disease, and more - Food companies put fructose in everything and people should be careful with their intake [28:09]Fructose is not necessary for optimal health and can cause onset diabetes and fatty liver disease. - Fructose has been shown to cause onset diabetes and fatty liver disease. - There are no biochemical processes that require fructose. - Foods with glucose or table sugar still break down to half fructose. - Low-carb diets do not ruin thyroid function. [33:03] Carnivore diet can lead to better health and thyroid recovery - Long-term carnivores have better health and thyroid recovery - Proportions of nose-to-tail eating should be considered to avoid health problems [42:04]Fructose is harmful and unnecessary for consumption. - Honey may have some benefits, but it also contains harmful fructose. - Studies should be examined closely, and not just based on headlines. - Official recommendations for diabetics were once to consume fructose. - Glycemic index was once thought to be the best model for controlling diabetes. - Fructose was likely the cause of diabetes for many people. [47:00] Fructose causes peripheral insulin resistance and blocks leptin, leading to overeating - Studies that focus on small, specific details can be misleading, and we should not ignore the broad picture - Claims that a meat-only diet reduces testosterone levels have not been supported by evidence [56:07] Humans have been biologically carnivores for millions of years. - Human ancestors were able to survive as hyper carnivores during the ice ages. - Stable isotope studies show that our ancestors had a higher carnivore rating than other carnivores. - A meat-only diet can be sustained long-term. - Individuals not feeling good on a meat diet may not be eating enough fat. [1:00:42] Get rid of all harmful things and stick to pure carnivore diet for optimal health. - Eating more fat is necessary for optimal health. - Artificial sweeteners can cause an insulin response and increase insulin, leading to low energy. [1:09:21] Fat is the most important part of a carnivore diet - Animals generally get 70-80% of their calories from fat in the wild - Inuit and aboriginal Australians had high-fat diets and were healthy - Eating a high-fat carnivore diet can reverse heart disease, diabetes, and obesity [1:13:41]70-80% calories should come from fat as it drives animal kingdom but it's difficult to overeat fat as most of it goes out in waste - Body absorbs fat with bile which is a finite resource, so you can trust your body to absorb the right amount of fat naturally - Stool consistency can be used to gauge fat intake. Loose stools mean too much fat intake, hard stools mean not enough fat intake - Some gut healing may be needed in the beginning for those who have been on low-fat diets before transitioning to high-fat diets [1:22:42] Don't trust everything doctors say without doing your own research - Eating fat has always been important for human survival - Triglyceride levels may go up due to eating off plan, excess calories, or alcohol - Listen to different viewpoints and do your own research before making decisions about your diet [1:27:15]To gain knowledge, listen to as many opposing views as possible and fill gaps in knowledge. - Research opposing views and see if their arguments hold water. - Look at studies and evidence that may not have been previously considered. [1:35:42]Meat-based diet can be done long-term - Omnivores and animals only eat certain plants that are species appropriate - Individualized diet is important and there is no right answer for everyone
I'm not fully carnivore. I'm still having coffee with heavy cream. I drink it at night. I'm using it to help curve the real heavy sugar cravings I'm having. It helps but I know eventually I have to stop.
If you feel that it’s hindering your health in someway that is totally a personal decision. Dr Ken Berry and Kelly Hogan hose been a 12 year Carnivore still has her coffee. But she also says if your having a problem with sugar to increase your fat intake. In the end Judy calls it an elimination diet so eliminating and then reintroduce things slowly to see how you feel and if you feel crappie then stay away from it. Her book is really great at looking at science in an easy to understand way, at least for me 🤓
Just switched to Carnivore 5 days ago. In last year Ive gained 40 pounds and its been very difficult shedding the weight. Id drop 20 pounds and put it back on. Listened to alot of friends tell me go WFPB, tried it, my iron levels dropped to 14. Sugar went high. Blood pressure 150/90. Hoping Carnivore can help.
Be careful. Read The Plant Paradox. Regarding KETO or all meat diets, you will want to check out this short video by Dr. Goldner. ua-cam.com/video/1dj9SZU2x0c/v-deo.html I follow The Plant Paradox plan. It does include some meat. It just makes perfect sense to me. My recent bloodwork was incredible. 107/72; 20 BMI=20. Good to go! FYI, we don't have canine teeth like cougars. We have sliding jaws more like a horse and other vegetarians. Some of the largest animals like Elephants, Horses and Apes are mostly plant eaters. The other key is to avoid ALL processed foods (not easy to do.) Good luck! Get that book- you can thank me later.

Hi Judy.
This is one of your best and most informative interviews so far.
I am really excited what is going to happen and to what is this going to come out to. Saladino now pro fructose, showing the research, you against fructose showing the research. Liver, no liver, information flying all over the place...
when Dr. Anthony said that there is a specific plant that needs a specific bird to be able to germinate its seeds, that was really a shock. This coevolution.
I was for 2 years and 4 months on a Keto/Carnivore and then I went off to experiment with carbs because I didnt feel that good. I started to be very sensitive to light and sounds, I was constipated and I had to use coffee every 3 days to get a bowel movement and no amount of fat would fix this and somehow it felt very off during the bowel movement. And now experimenting with carbs 4 months in, in the beginning it was good but I am starting to feel not so good. Tried the fruits out as saladino suggests and now trying out white rice. It gives me some strange heart hickups, a bit of pain in the liver and it feels like my gut is getting hurt.
I will be returning to Keto and try to do full carnivore...
I really want that this Carnivore diet works good but I dont know what to do anymore. It would be so good if it would work fully good.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
ps.
You definitely need to have a discussion with dr. Saladino. That would be a bomb.
I thought I was eating enough fat by adding 25-50 grams of butter and still didn't feel great. I had to lower my protein to around 30grams each meal and had between 3 and 4 meals a day - so roughly 100-150 grams of protein and I started to feel better.
But seeing the amount of fat I had to eat in a day was the big shocker. I wasn't coming close to it! So I had to count my macros for a few days so I could see what I needed and didn't just guess it.
Or... cheese can give me really bad constipation. Maybe you are eating too much? I love cheese but I limit myself to a few slices a week (20grams of Cheese?)
But if you are really sensitive to Cheese then maybe you will have to give it up all together.
6 year hyper carnivore. Animal products only. I have never been healthier. Reversed endometriosis, migraines, nasty seasonal allergies, excema and keratosis pilaris. My skin is beautiful. I also build muscle like crazy and I just turned 50. I couldn't be happier
How long until your endo reversed? Did you ever have a laparoscopy?
@@breannajoy I did not have a laparoscopy. I had an MRI, a contrast CAT scan and 3 different types of ultrasounds. They wanted to remove my uterus. It reversed in a month or so. The allergies were a bonus. I never thought they were food related.
I'm 45. The only way I feel good is when I'm carnivore or if I am ketovore on very, very, very low amounts of some low carb veg. I put on muscle very easy, I stopped having migraines, I don't have joint pain, I don't crave much of anything, I sleep well, my PCOS is GONE and I am no longer insulin resistant. I've been off and on carnivore/ketovore for 4 years now. Currently I'm technically ketovore (I eat pickles, onions and blueberries in very small quantities), but I cycle between carnivore and ketovore. This WOE is the way. Everyone should do this.
Did u lose libido and did u ever get it back
@@mikw2026 Never. I've never had a problem with that at all.
I personally was following Saladino's advice of having honey and fruit for more than a year and my gut and my mental health have been going haywire all this time. I stopped all carbohydrates and am 100% carnivore now. Starting to feel better as time passes.
Sooner or later honey boy is gwanna be eating crow with that honey.
.....the hadza ..
The same thing happened to me! Loved trying out the raw honey, but it lead me to the SAD of sucrose sweets, and later, pre diabetes. Keto got my A1c to lower, but those keto treats also led me back to SAD. Back on Carnivore and feeling great!
What matters is the journey. You know what has helped and not. And in the future, as you continue to heal, you can figure out what makes you feel best. 💗
I noticed he started that after he did an interview with Dr. Gundry. They both went to Loma Linda University which believes in the vegetarian diet . Saladino caught a touch of Gundry flu !!
@@LaneCodeRedCarnivore 😂
I have been LCHF 4 years. I have been 100% carnivore several times for 2 or three months at a time. I am now 100% carnivore again after listening to this doctor. I am 78 yrs. old but don't feel like I am that old. I sure take a lot of nay saying from doctors and friends. My fitst year I dropped 100 lbs. from 270 to 170 and never got hungry and have held 170 lbs. since no problem but I would like to lose 10 more lbs.I am sticking to this 100% from now on if possible and shut out the nay sayers. I seem to be in excellent health and feel excellent.
Eat more and you'll lose more
That's so awesome, good for you, just recently discovered Anthony he is amazing
How is your LDL?
Good for you, you inspire me to follow your path
That's me at 62!
Outstanding info!
Way to debunk arguments that don't hold water. ✔️
Hats off to Judy for not interrupting. 🎩
Even though she's board certified in nutrition, she quietly listens, taking in every detail. Amazing and helpful to us!
Thank you! it was a great conversation 💗
@@NutritionwithJudy I love how you start your videos - " hey this is Judy " it picks me up !!.... Judy !!!
@Bladerunner2043 when you dont have that disease the liver only makes what you need . When you consume cholesterol the liver makes less !
@Bladerunner2043 I think that's a specific rare condition that most people would never suffer from.
Being a certified nutrition is not necessary a benefit
I’ve been 100% Carnivore for 4 years, psoriasis gone, joint pain gone, brain fog gone, pre diabetes gone, insomnia gone, high blood pressure gone. Lost 50 pounds
as a result of eating this way. Energy all day. I will eat this way for life 🥩 meat heals
AMAZING! I have several clients that still struggle with psoriasis so that is wonderful. Psoriasis is very deeply rooted in the gut and skim microbiome. I'm really glad to hear you are healing. 🥩🥩
California Bud Reviews Awesome! Do you eat dairy (butter, cheese, yogurt, etc.)?
@@NutritionwithJudy in the beginning of my carnivore journey I healed my gut with L- Glutamine powder and high dose vitamin D3
@@sannamuh985 butter yes, very little cheese and no yogurt or other dairy.
Me too. Whoopwhoop. Carnivore for 4 years. Iove this life style. Way to go!
This was absolutely helpful. I went OMAD keto with no more than 5gm of carbs a day for 14 months and lost over 30kg and was feeling really good. I’m 61 and was diagnosed with RA in 2020 and that’s why I turned to keto. I tried carnivore a couple of times but got so constipated it was really scary. I’ve been scared of trying carnivore again but I now realise I wasn’t eating enough fat, even though I was eating what seemed like a lot of fat on the keto diet. I have gained a little bit of weight in the past 6 months because I broke my routine and also have been eating too many nuts, mostly almonds. Today I started the carnivore regime thanks to your other video that guided me on what the ‘macros’ should be for my ideal weight. Kind regards from Tasmania, Australia ❤
Inflammation was a big thing all my life until I cut sugars out and went carnivore..I think some people don't remember what feeling good is like
Sickness, weakness, and stress have become normalized in our society. So has injury, joint pain, back problems, and premature aging. It doesn't occur to most people that this should be considered unusual. That is because few people in the modern world have ever lived in a healthy society in following a healthy diet and lifestyle. The few remaining examples of healthy societies (e.g., hunter-gatherer tribes) are not a part of our everyday experience, particularly in the West.
Some people have never felt well a day in their life and have no idea what that is. I sure didn’t. The first time I ever felt well in my life, was the first day I was plant-free. I never felt well my whole life even as a small child that was always forced to eat lots of fruits and veggies. Sick since I was 2-3 years old. No one can convince me that carnivore is bad for me because I feel so much better now.
SUGAR was the key.
It feels good to feel good.
Or they never knew
I was keto for quite a long time and then got turned onto the carnivore diet for autoimmune issues. The more I dove into it and started following Dr. Saladino the more I thought wow this is great I can have fruit too! I love fruit, except I noticed when I’m strict carnivore I’m very emotionally stable no anxiety nervousness depression or cravings. Once I eat fruit, honey, or even a sugar-free cough drop the cravings start and it’s almost like the trigger gets flipped in my head and I’m just down that rabbit hole. I haven’t been doing this long term yet but I feel my best strict carnivore and I’m gonna ride it out until I see if this is the diet for me. I must say it resonates with me on such a deep profound level it must be truth.
I am 57… and after going Ketogenic almost 4 years ago.. close to 2 years ago I just have transitioned into mainly carnivore .. I eat meat and animal products almost exclusively… I feel better , have excellent health markers and have reversed my morbidly obesity and all that came with it ! 🥩
You should join me doing Carnivore :)
I want to hear from people who have done a Lifeline screening before and after. I need to see changes for the arteries to be convinced
That’s generally the process. I was keto for 2 years and now carnivore. I’m allergic to egg whites but still, nothing sits as well in my stomach after a meal, like meat. Standard US diet-keto-carnivore. That’s how it goes. Ps, I had peripheral neuropathy in my toes. Went keto, and it stopped.
Welcome to this community and our collective journey toward optimal health! I was vegan and vegetarian off and on for decades. Though I was skinny, I never felt strong or healthy. Energy levels were always low, and I always looked tired. Once I became ketovore and now carnivore, I feel so strong, healthy and full of energy! At 50, I can put on muscle more easily when I weight train than when I was in my 20s and 30s. I hope you find your optimal health, too! I recommend watching Dr Berry’s videos, too. I’ve learned so much from him, too!
Adding fruit definitely caused an increase in hunger for me personally. When I eat ground beef and eggs in the morning 5:15 (I work on a farm) I can easily make it to dinner just hungry. If I eat fruit I'm starving by 1 and have a headache.
Yes me too fruits make me starving 🥺 and Start episode of binge eating
So, you eat plain ground beef and some eggs everyday?
@@theoryofpersonality1420 I see that you're really looking for what to eat. Here's the easiest thing to do in my opinion:
Eggs
Ground beef ( regular is better than lean)
Ribeye, blade, brisket, TBone ( fatty cheap cuts)
Pork belly ( not bacon but tastes just like bacon when you salt it)
And then some pork( fatty bone in cuts.) and bone in skin on chicken.
Fatty fish like salmon and tuna and sardines if you can handle them.
Save all your bones and make your own stock. Save and cook with all your meat broth from roasts or from the slow cooker. The meat both cooks down and makes a great sauce .
@@theoryofpersonality1420 and eat until your full your body will tell you when enough is enough truste
@@jeffgobert9325 thanks for the comment. This is going to be harder than I thought. I don't like food. 😞 the only meat I usually eat is boneless, skinless chicken breast with no fat at all. Probably what's wrong with me. I was 120 pounds at 5 foot 8 for 40 years. Then I got sick. I have been sick for the last 2 1/2 years with lung cancer. Because of the meds and inhaler I've gained some weight. I had back surgery years ago so the weight makes that hurt. Ive tried everything else I have come across. I've never heard of people claim the results like the people in these comments do. At this point I'm willing to try anything. My options are that or a slow death. 🐌 first habit I have to break is burying the fat free meat I do eat in rice or potatoes. I have hypoglycemia. Low blood sugar attacks. This diet says to cut out all glucose. Yet the doc gave me glucose pills. I mildly afraid I might fall out if I don't take them. He also said I need to drink things like juice. I'm stuck in this cycle of needing glucose to keep my blood sugar up and not wanting it. You seem very knowledgeable on the subject so I figured I ask you. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I've been mostly animal based for 2 years and Saladino was one of those I followed for information when I started. I stopped listening to him as soon as he started promoting fruit and honey, as a carb addict that was terrible advice for me and made no sense. This was a great talk, so much useful information, thanks.
I used to listen to Paul Saladino regularly. I was gutted when he changed his tune. Very sad. 😔
Smart.
Saladino has never struggled with obesity or addiction of any kind. He doesn't understand .
Fell into the same trap with Saladino happy to say 100% carnivore now
Fruit maybe
But honey???!!!
Ppl can rationalize anything
I've listened to this podcast twice and just watched the video. This is definitely one of the best you've done. Great content. I tried adding fruit recently, and the results were not good. Thank you for everything you're doing. Have Dr. Chaffee again. Very interesting and motivating.
Totally agree with you! There’s no way I can add fruit, I’d 100% overeat it and spiral out of control. I’ve never heard of Dr. Chaffee but now I’m a follower. He was VERY motivating when he said to “eliminate the last little bit of carbs or sweetener, coffee, etc” if you’re still not feeling good on carnivore. (I’m having a hard time letting go of stevia and coffee)… this was a great interview and worth listening to over and over.
@@jensss. i also have tea and coffee with sweetener. I gave up smoking 8 years ago after smoking most of my life (the best thing i ever did)I have to get to the point of WANTING to give up my 2 teas with milk and 2 coffees with double (heavy) cream and i don’t as yet 😟
I just had asparagus, supposed to be the best Keto veg ever, with my ribeye! Had horrid gas pains the next morning...not adding any more. I loved the news that Brussel Sprouts is so bad for me. I love them, charred with balsamic. Never again! I'm 100% into just meat now. Thanks guys
Of course the results weren't good, you no longer possess the gut microbiome required to break those down.
Perfect timing for me! I just started adding small apples and navel oranges into my meat-based diet this week. I noticed that my snack cravings are waking up. I'll finish the groceries I have on hand, then it's back to strict carnivore for me.
Outstanding! One of your best guests to date by far!!
Thank you!!
YES!!!!
Brilliant interview! I am at the very start of my carnivore journey literally day 1...as I have been vegan for 5 years and veggie 12 years prior so big change for me. My health is bad I have IBS very painful achey joints and mostly low energy low mood and struggle to get out of bed. I am also hoping to study to become a nutritional therapist and feel so inspired by you Judy so thank you so much x
How are you doing?
I’ve been there. I got sucked into it after watching game changers. Funny how you convince yourself that your body is just cleansing itself. I feel great on carnivore, no wild mood swings, no intestinal issues either.
UA-cam started recommending Dr. Chaffee videos to me maybe a month ago. The first one I saw was a short of him shirtless meal prepping with a giant Chuck roast 😍. Like many of the long term carnivores, he is just an incredibly beautiful and fit human being physically. Then I listened to him speak and realized, again like the other long term carnivores, he has a lot of good information to share. He doesn’t even know it, but he’s helping me get back on the carnivore bandwagon after falling off during pregnancy. Love your content, Judy!
you might enjoy Kelly Hogan's channel, she was carnivore for 3 pregnancies. youtube channel - myzerocarblife
@@w1975b I’ve been a big fan of Kelly for a few years now, and she’s no doubt a champ for being carnivore throughout three pregnancies. I could not overcome the food aversions and morning sickness despite my best efforts to remain carnivore. However, I did prioritize protein and limit sugar while pregnant. I’ve since delivered my healthy baby boy, and I’m back on the all meat wagon. Have a great day!
Do you see Kly Hogan's videos? Zerocarblife? Also great, steak and butter gal on UA-cam
Lol dude is on tatestosterone. Look at the hunter gatherers who eat predominantly meat diets. None of them are "jacked"! Y'all are being played by these carnivore bros who take steroids.
@@loyal7597 if you're going to compare 2 things you have to consider multiple factors. Do the hunter gatherers intentionally lift hundreds of pounds on a regular basis the same way Dr. Shawn Baker and (not as much/often per his schedule) Dr. Chaffee do?
I’m new to you Judy but I found you via Mikhalia Peterson and then Dr Berry. I just started your diet after being sick for 30 years! Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, stomach Ulcer, gall bladder out, high EBarr markers, hypothyroid disease, diabetes 2, allergies, gut issues, nervous system effects like MS + scary muscle & bone loss. I had NAFLD diagnosed which i think I cured with medical mediums liver rescue cleanse, but the catch is I stayed on that very low fat, very low protein & mainly veggie diet & got sicker that I ever thought possible in a year of doing that! The Carnivore diet going well after 4 weeks on it - So far so good. I know for sure I’m having allergic responses to the veggies I was eating on that MM diet bc as I tried to reintroduce them. Still not ready for that yet.
I highly recommend your book! Thank you!
Very informative interview. I’m a 58 year old male who recently started eating carnivore; beef, bacon, eggs, salmon and very little dairy in the form of cheese and very small amounts of heavy cream. I’ve been physically training since I began amateur boxing in 1974. My initial concern was regarding endurance. I participate in ultra endurance events. Only 2 months into carnivore and I’m surprised that I have even more energy than I did when eating between 150-250 grams of carbs per day. Concerning coffee, I’ve not had any of the issues Dr. Anthony mentioned in this interview. No crashes, and certainly no muscle soreness. I recently rucked 71 miles and ran 29 in a month’s training for an event. Training also regularly involves 1,000 + rep sessions; again, no muscle soreness to speak of. Thanks for the podcast!
Anyone with hypoglycemia will find what Dr. Chaffee is saying about metabolism to be very intuitive. I've always needed to snack every few hours to not feel awful. If I wasn't eating enough, or ate foods with a high glycemic index, I'd wake up at 3AM feeling nauseous, in a cold sweat, and convulsing for 30min until I ate some sugar to calm it. Eventually I got severe Crohn's/UC around 23 y/o. I went carnivore 3 years ago and got off of medications, came out of a flare with the diet alone, and my energy hasn't felt this stable in my whole life. I feel like a normal human for the first time.
@ 23:40 also yep, I was skinny and muscular, working out every day when I got Crohn's. Thought I was healthy since I was slim, but inside I was falling apart.
When I first found carnivore ( Saladino introduced me to it funny enough ), I got pretty lost in the 'science' fairly quickly. So, I followed as many Keto, Carnivore and Vegans that I could find and it became apparent very quickly who was thriving and who was struggling. There is a reason people 'look' healthy, much as there is a reason 'hunger' guides people when to eat and not.
Your insides create your outsides ...the vast majority of this genetic talk is just bs ....it's what your eat , breathe, & apply to your skin ...
Simpleton
Dr Saladino now lives in Costa Rico, he can tolerate more carbs there.
@@janonthemtn lol
Love this interview. I have started sort of carnivore diet for a few months. Like it a lot. I have been debating whether I should go 100%. I still eat berries, & occasionally do some cheat meals on carb due to my spouse. But after watching this interview, I might try 100% carnivore for good. I started Intermittent fasting almost 2 yrs ago plus Keto about a year & lost 50 lb. I gained back 10 lb, because I looked too skinny. Now, I look & feel some much better, & have been maintaining my weight for a yr. I will definitely not going back on the SAD diet...ever. I mostly have OMAD, & I don't have to think about eating for 12 hr working. So free...no worry about packing lunch or snacks. Everyone should try carnivore diet to see how much benefits it gives our bodies. And I agree, eating more fat helps. Eating lean meats can make you feel sick.
See videos by steak and butter gal on UA-cam, she has lots of support for new carnivores.
I've done strict carnivore in the winter time. The only berries I'll eat are what I seasonally pick growing in the wild. And the berries I eat are mostly only found along the path I take for jogging. So, I burn off the sugar quickly.
Judy, I just bought your book. I want to thank you and Dr. Chaffee for this video. I struggled with keto it has helped but I needed to just get rid carbs altogether. There is a lot of information overload out there has been confusing. For me any any carbs are slippery slope and I feel so much better without any carbs.
I just want thank you for getting this information out to us and am grateful.
I am SHOCKED that any of this has made sense at all... but it really really does.
THANK YOU BOTH for helping me learn so much! 💙
Increasing fat, salt and water in small increments each day and now I can finally feel good again. He is right about the not eating enough fat thing. I recommend butter and whipping cream to help, also sour cream, it was hard for me at first, I was eating too much bacon and felt sick from that fat. I learned to introduce a little bit more fat each day instead of all at once.
I think I am up to 4,000mg sodium daily, 100oz water, and close to 100g fat. I need to go higher, on all three. I still drink coffee, but about half of what I used to drink.
great talk, definitely helped with the confusion Saladino created. Going back to strict carnivore because of this.
Fame and fortune tends to do that.....
Thanks!
Thank you for your support!
This was such a great interview! Thank you both!
Such an amazing discussion touching on and clarifying so many issues - so grateful that you talked about Dr Saladino’s “remarkable” (startling!) change in strategy after his short success of having been a such a staunch carnivore “influencer” - the mind boggles!!
I stopped following him when he started pushing his products!
Thank goodness for the likes of yourselves and Dr Ken Berry who consistently set things straight, in this space.
I wonder if he switched for the money.
Since doing carnivore as a woman I feel more feminine it's definitely sorting my hormones and many other things in my body and mental health.
Carnivore is very healing.
Fruit and grains the Suk diet (standard UK diet) I've had my whole life definitely made me very ill and debilitating.
SUK diet!! I love it haha.
Judy, thank you very much. Another fantastic interview. I really appreciate you sharing a balanced & rational approach to an animal based diet. So much noise out there. You provide quality & common sense that helps me stay on track. Carnivore keeps my binge eating disorder in remission. You are a big part of my success. 🙏🏻❤
So, what exactly do you eat? 🤔
@@theoryofpersonality1420 High fat carnivore.
@@11stardust369 that didn't help at all.
@@theoryofpersonality1420 do you not know what HF carnivore is? YT comments aren't used for personal consultations. However, Judy has many videos that will help you find your way. Good luck.
@@11stardust369 are you a licensed nutritionists?
I wanted to add to the hypothyroidism part and how keto wrecked my thyroid. I developed nodules and had hair loss due in part to what I believe to have been low salt and, on keto, a lot of the veggies are high in oxalates (almonds, peanuts, spinach, dark chocolate). I hadn’t found carnivore til after having my thyroid removed. Although I am stuck the rest of my life taking meds, I will continue to eat meat to prevent any more unnecessary surgeries as best I can.
I am just finding this channel and starting carnivore. So they think carbs wreck our thyroid? /I lost mine also
Great information, I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. I'll be watching it again to glean more. I hope you will get together with Dr. Chaffee again. Thank you ❤️ for the information you provide and the way you do the interviews.
Absolutely loved the interview, since I’m new to a carnivore diet, got a lot of useful information. Thank you
This was great interview. Explained why I feel tired, and feel muscle loss. I added fruit to my diet to be "metabolic flexible" . Learned a lot. Thanks.❤❤
This was so encouraging. Thank you Judy and Dr. Chaffee.
To all of you who are in concern fruit or not fruit and other plants is, try it for yourself. It sounds simple but it's not easy. Why? To try it for yourself means, 1st you should reset your human taste leaving all plant matter for a while. And after some time test one plant at a time.
I did this when I was 19 years old, but leaving processed food first and went strict keto. After 2 years later my sense completely changed and I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO MY OWN HUMAN TASTE-SENSE-INTUITION. And I rely it on to this day, in my 34. I listen to genuine souls such as Judy, recognize signs, patterns. In 99% of what I heard on this channel echoed my experience.
So, work on your innate sense and wisdom, your body will tell. But prior to that, restart the system to be able to rely on it.
Fat, the best calmer, healer, friend for my mood, sleep, brain. Lamb's favorite!
Dr Chaffee knows what he is talking about and is very consistent. Thank you for interviewing him!
As I continue to follow you, I am increasingly impressed. I have been very concerned with honey and fruit in the carnivore diet; it did not help when Saladino described his decline on pure carnivore. I may just have to hire you!
Saladino has sold out !!!!!!
Thank you for this. I really love watching everything and anything from good carnivore pro people, it helps me to keep encouraged in my carnivore journey...2 months in and only 1 week full carnivore.
Chaffee should debate Saladino.
Both of you look 10 to 15 years younger than you are. That is something I look for in following dieting advice.
I tried Keto for years and have been carnivore for about 12 days. I can attest to feeling much better on zero carb versus low carb. I used to get weak feelings all the time doing keto. It's only happened 2 times since going carnivore and I assume that's my blood sugar adjusting and probably insulin resistance being healed hopefully.
How you doing now?
I wish people stopped commenting after only 12 days.. and start to comment after 12 months to actually bring some insights...
Great discussion! I heard Dr Chaffee on Lillie Kane’s channel and immediately found his channel.
Dr Chaffee is the real deal 👌
I think resetting your system and breaking addictions caused by the SAD diet and then when the body is sensitive again, make your body the ultimate experiment. Introduce things in you think are fine and pay attention. Tailor your diet according to you. I am easily addicted so I do better with a stricter diet that doesn't cause me to go on a carb bender which leaves me anxious and depressed. That may be different for others though I think it happens a larger amount of us then people think. Loved this interview. ❤
I love your comment. I’m also easily addicted. I can EASILY avoid SAD diet processed foods and sugar, my problem is FAGE yogurt and Stevia. I’ve been “Ketovore” for two years (All meat plus stevia, coffee, spices and dairy) my main problem is Stevia. I add it to my yogurt and coffee w/ HWC…then I overeat the yogurt and over drink the coffee thru the day. If I can just give up stevia, I won’t want plain yogurt or black coffee. I feel like I’ve already given up so much that I’m holding on to that “last little bit” that is actually making me feel crappy. I will easily over eat vegetables too, I have always loved them but they make me break out and bloat. Sorry for the long reply but sometimes I see relatable comments and I end up venting lol. You left some great advice here so thank you.
@@jensss. - I've had similar problems. Instead of trying to get rid of the stevia at first, get rid of the coffee and yogurt. Allow yourself that last bit of sweet taste while transitioning. Drink herbal teas or lemon water for a while and add stevia to that. Once you've gotten over your desire for coffee and yogurt, then maybe eliminate that remaining craving of stevia. By the way, when I gave up all sweeteners, including stevia for a time, I found that even yogurt and kefir tasted somewhat sweet. The taste buds and brain adapt.
Excellent interview and questions...and love that you let him speak and not interrupt.
Great Doctor. Dr Chaffee is a such a good ambassador for this lifestyle.
I could listen to the two of you forever. Ive seen so many videos from both of you and I still learn something new everytime. Im not sure how Im just mow stumbling on this video from a year ago.
I've noticed in the short term that I've been trying carnivore(ish), that a fair number of people seem to develop histamine issues. I've noticed an uptick in histamine issues. A doctor I worked with for a while said that a high sulfur diet from animal foods (eggs, dairy, meats) slows down the liver's detox abilities (specifically aldehyde dehydrogenase) and histamine builds up as a result. I'd love to see a video on this. Another video I watched of a guy who had to give up carnivore after 8 years was fairly compelling to me. He still eats meat but has balanced it out with other foods. Dr. Paul Saladino now advocates some fruit after his own experience and that's mine too, I need some to feel good. I get the impression that strict carnivore's success is a person to person thing, some can do it, others it doesn't work for.
Dr.geogia talks about this... it's less the sulfur detox pathways and more the specific type of meat...
It can be an indication of gut healing that's needed. Sometimes our body is so muddied up with other noise that we don't have the histamine response. This will be really individualized so I'd take it on a case by case basis. A lot of my histamine-sensitive clients have mold or gut issues. I do think we all have to figure out what makes us feel best in the long-term. 💗
@@NutritionwithJudy Thanks, I've also wondered if it has to do with oxalate issues being unmasked. It seems oxalate dumping can trigger histamine issues with people.
Carnivore in the short term 30 - 90 days works great to heal your gut biome and leaky gut complications. The emphasis is obtaining fresh and clean cuts and avoidance of cured and highly processed sources. This is very limiting as long run solution to those w/ a histamine intolerance.
I am searching for ketovore diet, w/ heavy emphasis on histamine handling and avoidance of cured and highly processed meat, and plant-base food w/ emphasis on amines, histamine, glutamates, oxalate, salicylates, sulfites, thiols (sulfur intolerance) and nightshades.
Right now its trial and error for me when reintroducing plant food. It would be great to have a guide, quick tips to food pairing that can help alleviate reactions.
Check Dr. K Bart videos. Carbs are absolutely not needed and you may need to raise the amount of meat you have a day while 100% carnivore.
I've seen quite a few Chaffee interviews, but i especially like this one for the tempo and amount of info given in a short time.
Wonderful discussion.. Very inspired to give up that last tiny percentage of non carnivore. Very helpful take when Dr. Chaffee explained how you're likely to feel WORSE on low carb than high. These little bowls of kefir fruit and honey are not serving me. And I hate the increased hunger any carbs cause for me
Oh man! Kefir, honey, and blue berries!!!! I’m with you. I’ve been on a 50 carb diet for years-all meat and dory and it was still too many carbs. Went back on carnivore two weeks ago and feeling great. Sure do miss my kefir n honey though :D
Thank you, Judy, for having the genius of Dr. Chaffee on your video. I watched him with Dr. Shawn Baker and his other videos. Keep up the good work!
Smart Doc ... Judy is a great host with great questions and lets her guest talk🙂
Great info, thank you! Would love to see a panel discussion on oxalates with Judy, Dr. Chaffee and Sally Norton!
Judy, you have such a lovely, direct, intelligent manner. Lovely person. Thanks for these episodes.
Exactly what i wanted! Long-term carnivore consequences. 👍🏻
You'll get what you wish for, alright👍
This information is very helpful. Thank you So Much for these interviews and your thoughtful questions. 💕
So very welcome!
Iv started the all meat no plant life style and I’m in a learning curve. I listened to a Dr whom started back on fruits, of course I took the opportunity and his reasoning as Serious because he mention that he almost died on the all meat diet that interest me and I brought some fruit a banana and some pineapple the reaction was ugly, I blew up like a balloon. I had abdominal pain, I am grateful that I have been off fruit long enough to know what it is doing to me when I do ingested. I have even lost the good feelings that Fructose. used to give. Now “It’s hunting Season”
Thx for the Time-Stamps. Helpful to navigate through.
This was a very interesting conversation but I really feel much MUCH better adding honey & local fruits back into my diet. I wonder if there could be a difference depending on location and lifestyle? I live in hot south texas and work outside most of the day, and a bit of winter oranges or summer watermelon in the afternoon has been an absolute lifesaver 🤷🏼♀️ to each their own I say.
Love this interview. I'm getting close to full "plant free", because what you both say seems so freaking logical. I'm almost there...
Great conversation. Maybe a conversation with Dr. Paul Saladino would be great. I started on a pure carnivore path which was great. I did see alot of results however, i had issues and i added in fruit and honey and i feel better. Still losing weight just feeling better.
How long did you do carnivore before going back to sugar? You didn't give yourself a chance, im thinking
Great interview. Love you both. Very informative!
The ability to get almost any food in excess today certainly clouds the results, even things like organs that we consider good for us. It is amazing that we know the human body tries to operate as efficiently as possible in every process that occurs, yet we wonder why those processes are screwed up when we eat larger amounts of anything we can get now that we would not have been able to before.
couldn't agree more!
My first carnivore book to read was "The Hyper Carnivore, eat meat get healthy plants optional" by Don Matesz. It has lead me down the rabbit hole of health and questioning the standard presented to us by government, pharma and the medical system.
Dr Lustig has a great lecture called Sugar, the bitter truth that really explains how sugar and fructose works. He works with obese children. That opened my eyes to not give my children any more fruit juice, even freshly squeezed, soft drinks had rarely been a thing but I thought juice was good🤦🏻♀️
Juice is bad.
YAY DR. CHAFFEE
Type 1 diabetic for 43 years and I can promise you fruit raises my bloodsugar greatly.... my bloodsugar checks proved that many years ago.
Me too, 40 years T1D and fruit will instantly raise blood sugar a lot, NOT worth it! I purposely use tiny amounts of honey to raise low blood sugar and usually just 1/2 teaspoon does it.
I love Dr Saladino's advice it's been amazing it is like perfect diet. I am thriving!
N of 1.... I'm almost at full carnivore, I've been keto long time. I want to see if carnivore with help tinnitus, dry eyes, toe nail fungus.... let's see..
This was very sensible discussion, thx!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO!! This is so good to hear you two CARE for people and be logical and wise with the information you receive!! I also giggle at the sarcasm 😁
Thank you for this interview. It has been very helpful! Have been wondering about fruit and if it is optimal.
Before Monsanto fruits were small & not so sweet ..eat sparingly...maple sugar has more glucose than fruitose. ...
Fantastic conversation
Thank you. Please do a show on cooking low oxalates meals. What ingredients and spices do you use. And best cooking methods.
Oxalates?
@@theoryofpersonality1420 Look up Sally K. Norton and oxalates.
@@carolineyunker9 I looked it up on Google it just said some stuff about spinach and stuff. Thanks for a place to start. 👍
@@carolineyunker9 do you know if calcium oxalates are the same as the bad ones?
@@theoryofpersonality1420 I do.
I'm totally on board with Chaffee's comments right at the end. He emphasizes the importance of looking at all sides and all evidence in greater detail. Even among the more well informed, I've noticed how easily people get stuck in a position and then are unable to acknowledge anything that challenges or questions it.
Paul Saladino seems to have fallen into that problem in terms of fruit and sugar. He could quickly discover that the honey season for the Hadza only last a few months of the years. Fruit also is mostly found in a particular season. These aren't staples of the year-long diet. Saladino now has become committed to his opinion. Not only his identity but his credibility is now on the line.
His credibilty is shot !!!!!!
It's really an amazing episode 😻
Great podcast! Thank you both!!!
Judy, you always have my favorite guys on the show! Dr Johnson and Dr Chaffee, and next I suggest Phil Escott!
Another great guest would be Dr Sean O'Mara.
Dr. Sean O'Mara and I are interviewing next week!
@@NutritionwithJudy Great, that's why I love your show!
Thank you for such an awesome interview. Your listening skills are excellent also
The Great Fruit Debate. Dr. Saladino opened a can of worms in the carnivore community when he went off claiming fruit fixed his hormone and electrolyte issues he was having on carnivore. He's still N=1, while there are carnivore veterans that haven't had any of those issues being carnivore longterm. Hadn't thought about the overconsumption of liver possibly causing thyroid issues.
I talk about my thoughts on his whole experience with carnivore next week.
Doesn't mean everyone who goes carnivore will have the same experience. The Armstrong sisters fixed their amenorrhea adding carbs back in which carnivore didn't fix. I know a lot of people who got worse on carnivore. It's not for everyone. It works for a lot of people, especially short-term, but it doesn't fix everything.
@@NutritionwithJudy looking forward to hearing your perspective on it. Thanks!
@@jillherrmann1918 do you have a link?
@@theoryofpersonality1420 link to what?
2 of my favorites on YT! Thank you.
I listened to this gent on another channel and found myself relating to most of what he talks about. The basic simplicity is it. These perspectives are not difficult to find once you just let go and let meat do its job.
The Plant Free MD (has a nice jingle) mentioned renaissance influencers. Here's another one I came across recently: Michel Eugène Chevreul.
This guy gave fatty acids their name, influenced neo-impressionist painting by developing laws of color theory as connected to lipids research, and lived to 102. A devout anti-spiritualist. Rooted in reason & logic.
Obviously, a carnivore...
4 year carnivore here. January 1of last year I tried the Vonderplanetz diet . The little bits of honey and the raw dairy quickly escalated. I had gained 25 lbs by July then 5 more as I tried to get off the honey and dairy during the next 3 months. Worse was the cravings and the feeling of being controlled by an unnatural appetite. Once an addict always an addict.
I can't help but think of how much sense that it makes: if you put something like brocolli in your mouth and it doesn't taste good, ( unless you cook it so that it's crunchy and burnt ), then it's not something we should eat. Not meant for us.
Eating meat though, even very rare is amazing to me.
wow so informative... dr. chaffee was a great resource choice !! thank you judy :)
Judy, I hope you clip the explanation of why we shouldn't eat fructose, and make it a short out-take video. I can share it to my carnivore groups who are having the fruit discussion🙄🧐
There's one on Instagram and facebook now. We are moving away from UA-cam clips. There will be another on Thursday! instagram.com/p/CakP6IljNzo/ and fb.watch/buaj8PDfle/
There are also many video clips with Dr. Perlmutter, Dr. Richard Johnson on fruits (fructose) facebook.com/NutritionwJudy/videos
I wish you'd continue with UA-cam clips. Many people have quit social media. I don't do IG or fb....
I have no trouble deciding who to listen to in the diet world. I just ask myself 'who is looking the best?' and it's Chaffee for the win.
(Judy looks amazing too! Her skin is like a pearl.)
I love eating meat only and I’ve been doing great. What gives me pause is hearing people/professionals talk with such certainty, especially when there’s something they gain from their message. I’ve been around long enough to be weary of individuals who say things like “this is right and everyone who disagrees is wrong.” Doesn’t deter me from eating this way but people, especially professionals, need to accept that they may not have it 100% right.
I agree with this 100%. Are you talking about one of us? The more I learn, the more I realize, there's just so much more to know. So I might be missing your context...
Seems to me Judy is open minded and learning , too. But she is much more smarter than me and experienced with real patients. I trust her opinion .
@Bladerunner2043 I would assume you’re a computer generated type internet trolls if not for the poor grammar. Must be a lack of cholesterol 🤷🏻♂️
@Bladerunner2043 those are very specific cases, and as you said, they die at very young ages.
@Bladerunner2043 Intelligent people don’t use foul language when replying to random strangers on the internet. Want to come across as intelligent? Try sounding intelligent. Make your arguments without the foul language partner 👍
😊So interesting!
Great interview Judy!💜
I can listen to you both for days. Life changing
Thank you Judy ❤️🙏❤️
Love this guy! He points out very clear observations. The crack about organ meat being surrounded by fat made me laugh out loud. 🤣

[1:35:42] Meat-based diet can be done long-term
---------------------------------
Detailed Summary:
[00:00]Dr. Anthony Chafee discusses his experience with the meat-only diet and the benefits of a carnivore diet
- Dr. Chafee first discovered the benefits of a meat-only diet while studying cancer biology in university and realizing the high levels of naturally occurring poisons in vegetables
- He then exclusively ate eggs, meat, and milk for 5 years while playing professional rugby and felt amazing
- Years later, he came across evidence that humans are carnivores and started eating a meat-only diet again, experiencing great health
[05:15]Eliminate carbohydrates and sugar for better health
- Fructose is metabolized and broken down in the same way as alcohol, leading to health issues
- Carbohydrates fundamentally change your biochemistry and metabolism
- Fasting or a carnivore diet can provide health benefits
- Insulin forces energy into cells and blocks access to fat cells, leading to a reliance on carbohydrates
- Carbohydrates also block the hormone leptin, which tells your brain when you're full
[14:29]Carbohydrates, particularly fructose, are harmful to health.
- Studies suggest that people who consume only meat in their traditional setting are healthier.
- Honey contains fructose and falls under the sugar category, which should be avoided.
- Fruit may seem benign, but many fruits and berries in the world are poisonous.
- Fructose gives a quick hit of energy but is not a good long-term idea for metabolic health.
[19:02]Fructose is one of the worst drugs on earth
- Fructose is addictive and kills areas of your brain like methamphetamine
- It damages your body causing cirrhosis, diabetes, heart disease, and more
- Food companies put fructose in everything and people should be careful with their intake
[28:09]Fructose is not necessary for optimal health and can cause onset diabetes and fatty liver disease.
- Fructose has been shown to cause onset diabetes and fatty liver disease.
- There are no biochemical processes that require fructose.
- Foods with glucose or table sugar still break down to half fructose.
- Low-carb diets do not ruin thyroid function.
[33:03] Carnivore diet can lead to better health and thyroid recovery
- Long-term carnivores have better health and thyroid recovery
- Proportions of nose-to-tail eating should be considered to avoid health problems
[42:04]Fructose is harmful and unnecessary for consumption.
- Honey may have some benefits, but it also contains harmful fructose.
- Studies should be examined closely, and not just based on headlines.
- Official recommendations for diabetics were once to consume fructose.
- Glycemic index was once thought to be the best model for controlling diabetes.
- Fructose was likely the cause of diabetes for many people.
[47:00] Fructose causes peripheral insulin resistance and blocks leptin, leading to overeating
- Studies that focus on small, specific details can be misleading, and we should not ignore the broad picture
- Claims that a meat-only diet reduces testosterone levels have not been supported by evidence
[56:07] Humans have been biologically carnivores for millions of years.
- Human ancestors were able to survive as hyper carnivores during the ice ages.
- Stable isotope studies show that our ancestors had a higher carnivore rating than other carnivores.
- A meat-only diet can be sustained long-term.
- Individuals not feeling good on a meat diet may not be eating enough fat.
[1:00:42] Get rid of all harmful things and stick to pure carnivore diet for optimal health.
- Eating more fat is necessary for optimal health.
- Artificial sweeteners can cause an insulin response and increase insulin, leading to low energy.
[1:09:21] Fat is the most important part of a carnivore diet
- Animals generally get 70-80% of their calories from fat in the wild
- Inuit and aboriginal Australians had high-fat diets and were healthy
- Eating a high-fat carnivore diet can reverse heart disease, diabetes, and obesity
[1:13:41]70-80% calories should come from fat as it drives animal kingdom but it's difficult to overeat fat as most of it goes out in waste
- Body absorbs fat with bile which is a finite resource, so you can trust your body to absorb the right amount of fat naturally
- Stool consistency can be used to gauge fat intake. Loose stools mean too much fat intake, hard stools mean not enough fat intake
- Some gut healing may be needed in the beginning for those who have been on low-fat diets before transitioning to high-fat diets
[1:22:42] Don't trust everything doctors say without doing your own research
- Eating fat has always been important for human survival
- Triglyceride levels may go up due to eating off plan, excess calories, or alcohol
- Listen to different viewpoints and do your own research before making decisions about your diet
[1:27:15]To gain knowledge, listen to as many opposing views as possible and fill gaps in knowledge.
- Research opposing views and see if their arguments hold water.
- Look at studies and evidence that may not have been previously considered.
[1:35:42]Meat-based diet can be done long-term
- Omnivores and animals only eat certain plants that are species appropriate
- Individualized diet is important and there is no right answer for everyone
I'm not fully carnivore. I'm still having coffee with heavy cream. I drink it at night. I'm using it to help curve the real heavy sugar cravings I'm having. It helps but I know eventually I have to stop.
I think "priming" is supposed to help with cravings. Bart Kay did it earlier this year, if you want to find his videos about it.
If you feel that it’s hindering your health in someway that is totally a personal decision. Dr Ken Berry and Kelly Hogan hose been a 12 year Carnivore still has her coffee. But she also says if your having a problem with sugar to increase your fat intake. In the end Judy calls it an elimination diet so eliminating and then reintroduce things slowly to see how you feel and if you feel crappie then stay away from it. Her book is really great at looking at science in an easy to understand way, at least for me 🤓
Just switched to Carnivore 5 days ago. In last year Ive gained 40 pounds and its been very difficult shedding the weight. Id drop 20 pounds and put it back on. Listened to alot of friends tell me go WFPB, tried it, my iron levels dropped to 14. Sugar went high. Blood pressure 150/90. Hoping Carnivore can help.
Be careful. Read The Plant Paradox. Regarding KETO or all meat diets, you will want to check out this short video by Dr. Goldner. ua-cam.com/video/1dj9SZU2x0c/v-deo.html
I follow The Plant Paradox plan. It does include some meat. It just makes perfect sense to me. My recent bloodwork was incredible. 107/72; 20 BMI=20. Good to go! FYI, we don't have canine teeth like cougars. We have sliding jaws more like a horse and other vegetarians. Some of the largest animals like Elephants, Horses and Apes are mostly plant eaters.
The other key is to avoid ALL processed foods (not easy to do.)
Good luck! Get that book- you can thank me later.
Animals are food plants are medicine...
Another great interview! Thank you.
I think mindset is huge! Placebos are a real thing. If you believe this could be harming you, you could be creating your bad feelings.
That's very fair, either way!
Brilliant interview ...thank you
