I am watching from Spain. I am a 76 year old woman, diagnosed with leukaemia a year ago and now with epilepsy. I have been on a carnivore diet for 8 weeks now because I believe that I will totally recover from these diseases. Listening to you has boosted my willpower to keep going. So thank you.
I am a 62 year old woman who spent many years maintaining my ‘normal weight’ by being hungry, getting hangry, having dry eye, being bloated with IBS and being miserable. Now I don’t eat ANY plants or things made from plants and have healed my body. Shocking that I learned this from UA-cam and not the many doctors / health professionals I asked. Thank you for sharing this video.
Same here. I’m 65 and spent most my life eating less and exercising more. I was always hungry/hangry too. My weight went up and down by 100 lbs several times in my life. Health took a dive. Now I’m carnivore over 4 years and loving it! I’m healthy and easily maintain a weight that is optimal for me. No more going hungry and over exercising. And I learned it all via self experimentation and these wonderful UA-cam carnivore influencers. Mainstream medicine is no help. I avoid doctors.
Annette I'm 62 and just read your comment, I have the same ailments. Do you eat fish,chicken,could you tell me a little more. I'm definitely a carbohydrate addict. How did you resist?
@@justjane1639 thanks, I have been wondering if those kinds of ingredients would mess up a carno/ketovore diet for my family... We have been eating steak and eggs for two weeks and they're beginning to threaten a food strike if I don't add some flavor soon
I am female, 83 years old and have been gluten intolerant for the last 15 years. Despite me not eating gluten I still bloat in the stomach and I also have a fat abdomen that I can't get rid of. I am otherwise slim everywhere else. I go to gym twice a week but find I don't have much stamina. It is 10pm at present and tomorrow I will wake up as a carnivore!
Hoping you awakened to a carnivore lifestyle. You will truly be amazed. Give yourself grace, be patient, and eat until full. One tip I would offer is when the meat on your plate tastes great, keep eating. When the meat on your plate no longer tastes great, you are full. Put the remainder in the fridge. Wishing you good health!
Good for you. I am 84, female and was just like you-gluten sensitive and fat belly but slim otherwise. I found carnivore around January 2023. It made so much sense to me and I started eating carnivore. Lost 10 pounds mostly in my stomach mediately heartburn, acid reflux, went away and have lots more energy. It is definitely a wonderful way to eat. Now my daughter is doing the same. good luck.
Honey, at 83 years old…don’t be so stringent with yourself…God Bless every healthy day you have that maintainers your independence..no need for perfection…
In about 1996 I was working on a large 100 thousand acre farm in the outback of NSW. It was sheep shearing time and one of the shearer’s was an older guy 60 years old. They were living in the same quarters as us . We ate with them each morning and evening. The older guy only at steaks done in butter and garlic. I never saw him eat anything else and asked him about this. He told me as I munched on my supposedly healthy muesli and fruit breakfast that I was poisoning myself and that fruit and grains were not designed for humans. At the time 1996 I thought he was insane but alas he was way ahead of his time. He was the fittest and strongest of the shearing team despite the fact his team mates were all in their late twenties. The only other thing he consumed was water. .
He wasn't ahead of his time. He was right on his time cos the high carb, high fibre, high plant food diets came around and just after this time period. 🥺
The concensus, at least amongst this audience, is that oats and fruit is bad for you? I eat oatmeal often, including steel cut oats, with my homemade mix of numerous dried fruits, nuts and seeds. I'm so confused whenever I come to the doctor channels.
@@Funexpected I was too for a long time. It's not surprising though when you consider how many livelihoods depend on us eating poor-quality foods. Then you have to factor in all the drug company profits from the resulting illnesses. You really have to do your own research, combined with self-experimentation. Once you find a few channels that agree, and whose creators you trust, a picture emerges of how humans ate for a very long time before modern agriculture and medicine. Some things are still unknown and controversial, so that's where the experimentation comes is. You just need to be scrupulously honest about the results. Yes, grains cause inflammation and should be avoided. Dried fruits are loaded with sugar, so they should be avoided for the same reason you would avoid fresh fruit. Nuts and seeds are problematic although some people seem to tolerate a few. I tried to keep macadamias and pistachios in my own diet but had to admit that I felt better without them. Personally, I trust Ken Berry, along with Anthony Chaffee, Bart Kay, and Harry Serpanos. No doubt there are others. Keep digging! But the bottom line does seem to be: less is more. Variety is just another food myth. Vary your meats! 🥩 Best wishes. 👍
I was on carnivore for a year felt on top of the world. All aches and pains gone, lost 52 lbs. I ate one piece of cake on Mother's Day and immediately all the cravings came back. Gained 60 lbs with 6 months. I'm back on carnivore for the last 3 months and the healing has begun.
Thank you for sharing that. Last year I lost 28 lbs. with carnivore and fasting and it only took about a month. My doctor was impressed. But then came Christmas and I gave in to sugar. Now I’m still fighting my craving and feel like such a failure. I’ve gained back 10:lbs. and have arthritis pains and other symptoms that I know will go away if I get back to carnivore but I’m a slave to sugar. When I listen to these videos I just admire the people who have control of their cravings but I wonder if I’ll ever be able to conquer mine. Kudos to you for getting back on the wagon. It encourages me to keep fighting knowing that there are others that have the same struggle. May God bless you.
I’m 73 years old and I have completely reversed my type 2 diabetes after 20 years of misguided information from the medical community. I started my carnivore journey 4 months ago and now I’m not on any medication. Thanks for your help. I’m in British Columbia, Canada
I just turned 60 years old and have been Vegan for 10 years. I am a kidney transplant recipients became pre-diabetic. I'm on Cellcept to retain my kidney and now have the very rare ocular melanoma which, I believe is from the medication. If I was carnevore, I believe that I would never have gone through that suffering and degradation of life. I have studied nutrition and I fell for the Vegan lifestyle because I value and appreciate good health and want to preserve whatever I have left. My decision is to not get chemo and to reverse my disease with a carnevore diet, exercise, and prayer. I've stopped taking the medication and I am already experiencing positive results. Thank you for standing up and giving your information.
I hope you’re doing well. Years ago, I became a vegan because I thought it would be the best diet for my health. What a mistake that was! Now, after nearly eight years Low Carb and about three eating almost exclusively meat, I will never go back to the plants. I’d urge you to watch the videos by Dr. Chaffee and Dr. Berry with the cancer researcher Thomas Siegfried. Best of luck to you.
I'm 76 and struggled trying to drop weight..I started the meat diet 2 weeks ago and dropped 25 pounds in that short time span. never will another potatoe touch my lips. Retired and have a little farm in Arkansas. where now the corn and vegetables will only feed the cows and pigs. Thank you.
Awesome! Also there’s some irony to your last statement, and that is that grains aren’t even an appropriate diet for cows, in that it makes them fat too, ie the marbling of beef…and as for pigs, they’re monogastric, like us humans, but if given the opportunity, they would eat us. This happens more often than we hear about, but when pigs are allowed to become wild, they grows tusks and become their ultimate selves; similar to humans on a carnivore diet.
I have hundreds of sebaceous cysts under my skin all over my body. My skin looks lumpy because of the cysts. Has anyone found a reduction in cysts after eating carnivore? I am Day 38.
It's definitely spreading, thank God, finally! My wife and I could not conceive for 7 years. Just when we were about to give up, God led us to a doctor who treats his patients with food. All we had to do is eliminate carbs (ketogenic diet) and conceive naturally. Simple as that! Best solutions are always the simplest! God is great! Thank you guys for spreading the word! God bless !
My Dr told me I had a fatty liver. On my own I did intermittent fasting. I ate meat and chicken, eggs. Cut out sugar, and carbs. After 6 months my Dr checked my blood work. I asked her how was my liver. She said I did not have fatty liver. Yea! And I also felt great!
When I was on Keto, I still CRAVED sweets, because of eating stawberries and several veggies every day. Now that I am 100% Carnivore, I no longer have cravings and I FEEL SO GOOD!!
Likewise! I had a major sweet tooth!! Made so many keto desserts and ate one to two avocados a day. Been on carnivore 5 DAYS, yes only 5 days and I don’t crave sweets at all. Did I mention I also bake scones for my coffee shop and those don’t turn me on anymore amazing! Salicylic Acid is also an issue in a majority of fruits and veggies which trigger peoples auto immune issues. I’d suggest looking into that for your self if you’re reading this from the outside. You got this! It’s EASY!
@@sellbydate - You can't live on meat only, unless you are a flesh fly maggot... And let's not forget that carnivore animals mainly feed themselves on uncooked raw bowels and offal rather than the meat (muscle) itself...
1 year before carnivore I was a 436 pound type 2 diabetic on 3 diabetes meds and having no hope. I have a young daughter and knew I had to make a big change. Started off with keto and a few months in switched to carnivore. Joined a CrossFit gym and a power lifting club. Hard work turned into daily habits and I am I am now down from 436 pounds to 280. I’m off all meds and have zero signs of diabetes. A1c went from 11 to 5.4, triglycerides are down. Literally everything. People like Dr. Berry saved my freaking life! Thank you!
For clarity, does a carnivore diet consist of only meat? As in your plates of food is a fried, grilled, sautéed, or baked piece of meat 🥩 and nothing else? Or is it meat & a starch? Or is it a whole food plate as in no processed ( bread pasta crackers, butter, cheese etc) foods? Meat veggies starch etc?
great video, I am a truck driver who switched to 100% carnivore diet eight months ago. I can't even begin to tell you how much better I feel. went from 285lbs to 185lbs in eight months, but that is only half of the benefits. depression is gone, I sleep better, have much more energy and am almost never hungry.
@@sairabaez119 Professor Bart Kay says to eat the fatty muscle meat of large ruminant animals (grass fed preferably) once a day to satiety. Add in butter and salt as you wish but not one single gram of carbohydrate - ever.
I’m 74 year old female a year ago I was taking 76 units of insulin at bedtime. I started a keto diet at the end of August last year. I have lost 102 pounds. I am off all insulin. My last A1c was 5.2 and healthier than I’ve ever been. I’ve gone from 297 down to 195.
I’m a 79 year old woman and I’ve been carnivore for a year now and don’t intend to go back. Apart from anything else, it has been mood altering, and depression and anxiety disappeared two days into the diet. For that alone, I’d remain carnivore. But there are so many other benefits, my peripheral neuropathy has improved, my sleep is fantastic and I’m NEVER hungry 🙏
I'm a 77 year old woman and hearing experiences of the carnivore way of eating from others from my age group is so encouraging. I'm trying to become strict carnivore but keep falling off the wagon. The last month I've been doing fairly well with only one major slip up. I'm doing it in the hope of lessening my joint pain which has improved a lot already and I love the fact that I'm not hungry every two hours anymore. Usually only eat two meals a day now and a few times only one. Thank you so much for posting your experience . It's giving me the encouragement to continue my journey.
Carnivore shakes me off the wagon … keto helps me thrive and stay on course the more variety is better for me but too much variety isn’t good either . That balance is out here for me I’ll find it
Wow - good for you! Can you give me an idea of what a typical day of food looks like for you? I have eye floaters and I'm hoping to reverse this and make them disappear!
I have been on carnivore fast for 6 weeks, I was diabetic on meds but after 6 weeks I’m no longer diabetic Dr says. I have been in this conversation for years. I have my husband doing this meat eating now and looking forward to him not being sick from diabetic and praying that his dementia will reverse.
Make sure he gets enough animal fat - make baconaise, hollandaise etc…and look into high dose thiamine therapy (Elliot Overton on UA-cam) - beneficial for recovering from both t2 diabetes and t3 diabetes (dementia). Good luck!
3-month Carniversary tomorrow, 2/29/24!!☺️💗Thank you for your amazing help! God has blessed me with this carnivore lifestyle after 71 years of sugar addiction, Pepsiholism, few carbs and vegetables, and not much fatty beef. God allowed me to go fully carnivore and took away all cravings and temptation!🙏✝️😮
@@barbarawinsor5306 That was then - plants were his creation. What is in our grocers and farms is not all his creation. They are an adulterated form of vegetables and fruit found in the Garden of Eden. Think of all the pesticides and fertilizers used to grow beautiful strawberries and grapes. Mmmm.
Dr. Berry saved my life!!!!! There aren't any amount of words that i can even use.... Im just grateful! I was diagnosed with lupus, RA, Fibromyalgia, IBS.... No relief following traditional medicine.... Almost a month in and its like I'm 21 all over again! Grateful for intelligent dictors who take their roles seriously for us!
Two good doctors, who are not in the pocket of medical companies, and aren't drug pushers. Good and honest interview ❤️ Yes please, let's have a part 2 😘
No just associated with the electrolyte drops they sell and other things that make them $$$$ I don’t begrudge them that but they do make their own profits from UA-cam and clicks let’s me honest about that !!!!
I'm from Lansing MI and started Carnivore 6 weeks ago. I'm never going back to SAD! I may on occasion have a little treat of fruit but not until I am fully healed. So far my joint pain has reduced/almost fully gone, no more hormonal migraines, amazing hair growth, lost 10lbs, no more chronic constipation, brain fog is way less and energy way up. I'm so thankful for all of you for giving us all the tools and knowledge to help me heal.
@@teetwo27 I’m doing fantastic! I just hit my 90 days last week and my next goal is a year of strict carnivore. I’m down 18lbs since starting carnivore (47lbs since Jan 1) I have such a long list of other things I’ve healed from and ZERO cravings. I’m so thankful to be around the SAD but not crave any of it!! If you haven’t started, and are considering it, I highly recommend at least committing to 90 days.
I have been a Carnivore for the last 13 months and never felt better. Dropped a ton of weight (110 lbs) and a lots of my issues have gone with that weight. I am a 68 year old man who's biggest regret is that I did not start this 4 decades ago. Sigh.
I am a 70 year old man have been carnivore for one year. I absolutely reversed my pre diabetic and now am the same weight as I was at 18. I used to have a body that responded well to weight lifting but as I got older the response and the will to workout left me. Since carnivore the response and the will returned and my muscle gains have even shocked me. If you are a senior and want to develop a body you are proud of you must try carnivore and fasting. I was at my doctors last week and she commented on my body as being a young mans body. It made me mad and I asked her why the medical community refuses to treat the cause rather than the symptoms . Her answer was very few people can do what you do in terms of diet. I left her office shaking my head!
It is shocking how many are unwilling to change their diet; however, in my opinion doctor should Always suggest root cause healing aka diet change first Before suggesting medicine.
@@lenkajf7816 doctors ultimately work for us, so we should "shop around" to find a doctor who is Healthy and genuinely wants his/her patients to get, or remain, Healthy, rather than a being satified with a career as a legal/glorified drug dealer.
I recently attended a get together of a group of retirees where the meal was a smorgasbord of processed, breaded deep fried foods. I ordered off the menu and had to pay for my own crab legs and butter. I wasn't even tempted by the buffet. I was repulsed. Feels great to not be controlled by carb/sugar addiction.
I am going to transition into carnivore diet. I have spent most of my life struggling with weight loss. Many times my weight has roller coastered up and down about 100 pounds. I am known as the fat person in the family and at work. They don't see me or my accomplishments or my hard work ethic moral values and intelligence, they just write me off as the fat person in the room. My toxic mother was the main source of this treatment ever since I was in elementary school and continuing through my entire life. My older sister was always a size 6, so she was always "better" than me and deserved more because of her size. Once my sister had enough clothes to wear for school, we would stop shopping. I had to dig for clothes at a rummage sale. I remember wearing the same dress 2-3 times a week in fifth grade because nothing else fit. According to my mother, I was supposed to be lucky for what I can get out of life, even a bad marriage. I remember my husband saying to me that he would stay with me as long as I didn't get any fatter. I am divorced now. My father always thought that only an extremely overweight man of any kind would be the perfect match for me. So I hope this finally works and I feel better. Overweight people are discriminationed against. Hopefully stoping all the toxic foods will finally put me on the right path. I love what you CAN eat on this diet.
I hope this carnivore diet works for you. Though Ive never had a weight problem, I grew up as an undersized kid, a year younger than most of my classmates; I know what it's like to be taunted for something beyond your control.
I am on my third week of carnivore. I was scared because this was so contradictory to all that we have been told about nutrition, and my perceived inability to have self-control. In the short time I’ve been doing this, I have come to realize that it is the foods (supposed healthy) themselves that have kept me in this state. I have no cravings, I thought I’d miss bread and rice, I thought this was just another unsustainable fad that I would fail at on my first week. I am seeing so many changes in my body that give me so much hope for my health and self-esteem. I cannot wait to see where I will be in a year from now.
Yes, still on carnivore. Doubt I will ever not be carnivore. I have had some setbacks (let's be honest... I fell off the wagon), for which I am grateful, as it immediately manifested in my wellbeing. Most noticeably I become fluffy, and my knee pain comes back with a vengeance. This has all to do with inflammation, and I am not a fan.
@NAllen-hr2fx "Fluffy" is a good description, "Puffy" is another. I've been strict carnivore 30 days (meat based for several years now) and carb creep kept happening. My arms are no longer painful when I poke them. ❤ 30 days!
I’m in TEXAS, USA. I have been on meat, eggs, butter & bacon for 1 year. I am off all meds for high blood pressure, depression, and RA. I have lost 36 lbs from size 14 to size 8. I feel great, sleep well and I love this way of eating. Thanks for your web site I have learned so much. Wish I had known about this 30 years ago. I am 75 years old and my friends can’t believe it !!!
This is amazing, my mom is 73 with horrible rheumatoid arthritis plus blood pressure. I took her out of medication n put her on carnivore. We just on day 10 , she feel slightly better , still take only pain med once a day . Can you help me on how to do this ?
Do you eat cheese? I'm going to give up carbs and sugar right now and that is a big challenge for me. Mainly the carbs like salty chips etc. I like chicken, fish, red meat, eggs, bacon, butter etc. too. I like everything so I need to work on this to lose weight. I started gaining weight years ago when I started having low fat snacks lol. Like low fat cookies and chips. But then I reduced diet sodas for sugary sodas, big mistake but feel the best when I just have coffee, tea, water, sometimes fruit or vegetable juice or smoothies. But when I just eat meat, eggs etc. I don't get as hungry. I guess the carbs and sugar triggers the appetite.
I was vegan/vegetarian for the last 8 out 10 years and my allergies (inflammation) were so bad I had sinus surgery. Not to mention the bloating, constipation and weight gain. I’ve been Carni for just over 30 days and I’m off all allergy medication and I’ve lost 10 pounds. I’m 100% convinced. Thank you! And a big thanks to my friend Karen who shared this lifestyle with me :)
This is what l try and explain to my 8year old .While l don’t buy lollies he gets them at school as party packs if any of his classmates has a birthday.He gets a running nose for days after eating that sugar.I maintain a very low carb/carnivore diet at home.
I’ve been wanting to try carnivore but I heard that if you don’t have your gallbladder that it’s not good for your body. Would you know anything about that. Congratulations on your progress with carnivore 😃
I have been on carnivore for 1 1/2 years. My acid reflux went away (water along with other things would give me bad heartburn). It went completely away. I had IBS. It is gone and my cholesterol went down by 40 points. The problem I am having now is that I keep losing weight and I do t want to lose anymore. Did you have this problem? Do you have any ideas for me?

Like Dr Wiedeman, I am an Optometrist. I started Keto 4 years ago and eventually carnivore. I started at age 62 because I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic with and HbA1c of 9.9. Rather than start meds for T2D I radically changed my diet, lost 82 lbs, came off ALL meds (Ace inhibitor, Beta blocker, statin) and was able to give up my CPAP for sleep apnea. After 4 months my HbA1c was down to 4.9 and I NEVER had to take meds for my T2D. My only regret is that I didn’t discover this lifestyle at 32 rather than 62. I am 66 now and feel better and sleep better than I had for decades!
@@tjmns hi friend. The carnivore diet is about eating meat (all animals and see food), animal fat (butter, lard) and eggs. Whenever your hungry. Hope this helps.
Wish my spouse cared enough to do this but can’t fight a fair fight even for the good of the narcissists wife and kids. Can’t stay and watch him kill himself with his own ego self pity and arrogance. His mental illness and type 2 heavily medicated diabetes and arrogance are killing me too. I wish only the best for everyone who can do this and can enjoy a healthy long life with love.
I have progressively narrowed my diet down to deer I kill and fish I catch..I’m 68 years old, was very overweight, unhealthy and eating up to 2,400 mg of ibuprofen a day for joint pain..I’ve quickly lost over 30 pounds, off meds and feel better than I did at 30 years old. I’m NEVER going back.

I stopped eating bread, pasta, cereal, rice and pasta and cut out all the junk food products. This in turn gave me a lot energy to exercise more. Thank you doctor Ken D Berry and your lovely guest.
Yes, the Keto diet makes a lot more sense than strictly Carnivore. God put those plants on this Earth for man to consume. A well balanced diet along with meat can give you all the vitamins and minerals you need to stay healthy. Historically, before the 1970's, people were generally not overweight. It wasn't until all the man-made chemicals, artificial ingredients, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other garbage was added to our food and beverages and to our plants and animals, did we start having the illnesses and obesity we see now!
Hi Docs. I’m 75 year old metabolically healthy. No drugs woman! I’m from the Jersey Shore. Been carnivore for two years. Healed my chronic cough! I went to all the specialists to figure my cough out to no avail. They just gave me their drug of their specialty which didn’t work. Then after progressively getting worse, I found you and Dr Baker! The Lord is good !! My cough is gone and I love to eat like this! Thanks so much Doc. Keep getting the message out!
I'm From Colombia, and I'm 42 years old, I was 28 when I started doing a crazy diet, including Broccoli, Oatmeal, Pine apples mostly Veggies, seeds, and grains, I caused myself chronic Gout (Hyper Uricemia) I've been struggling since then with constant pain, changes of mood, no motivation for no reason, sleep disorder, skin rash, ezema... I was on 7 different medicines, for pain, Gout control and digestive problems... I've been in this journey of health improvement, trying different stuff, since I started 2 weeks ago I've been noticing improvement in my skin and reduced inflammation. I will continue this journey of self-healing, cause my dream since I was 25 it was to race a marathon, and I will succeed.
I started keto just 3 weeks ago. My aim is to get to carnivore. The changes I’ve seen in this short time are nothing short of miraculous. I had crippling arthritis in my hips. But now there’s no pain whatsoever and I walk on my own now - no cane, no limping!! My thumbs were also arthritic & extremely painful. I got cortisone shots, physical therapy and they helped - for a short time. But now the pain is reduced by 95%. I can open jars again. My gut pain has improved & I’ve lost weight although I didn’t need to lose much. My life is so much better now. Im never going back to carbs.
I have had friends and family tell me I'm harming my body by eating carnivore. I tell them what I've been experiencing and they think I'm lying. I know my body and what's happening so i guess now i have become a lier. If someone asks why i have lost weight i will tell them but the response is always "that isn't healthy" my real friends support this and a couple friends are going to pursue this. Thanks for how thorough you are as well as your guests. The thing that was the selling point for me is your communication skills and sincerity in helping.
Incredible! My husband and I started carnivore bc of you. It's only been 7 days and both feel so much better AND this actually attacks belly fat. That's a first!!!

I’m a 68 year old woman. I’m a carnivore. I have no more sugar cravings, eat a steak or other beef once a day and that’s all I eat. I occasionally add a piece of grilled chicken or sugar free bacon but that’s pretty much it. I fast for 24 hours most days and feel no hunger until that 24 hour span is over. Love this! I feel better, I’m motivated to walk and exercise and get so much more done. Weight comes off easily too. Only been doing this a few months but I’ll never go off this way of eating. No cravings is the best part. I was a sugar addict for most of my life! It’s so easy to feel good eating this way! And I love raw steak with salt. I always did!!

That’s fantastic Gloria, I’m 76 and about to try carnivore. I know it’s going to be hard, but I’m ready to give it ago. I have really enjoyed this video, it makes so much sense. 😉
I am 39 and have dealt with hemmeroids since the age of 10 or so. Last 8 years they have been non-stop constant golf ball sized lump on my bung hole that would bleed. After years of a mostly veg diet and the only time they would subside is if I fasted for a week or more at a time. Im 3 weeks in on carnivore/keto and the roids are finally shrinking and bowel movement are complete. Thank you for all the info!
Exactly. Mine were on the inside. At 9 months carnivore my elimination was 5-12 days between and that month was when they healed. I went off carnivore, and they have not returned in the last 3 years. However, half of the 80 pounds I lost on carnivore have returned and I had not lost the final 25 pounds to goal, so.... I'm too old to be this heavy with no strength in my legs to maneuver stairs with ease, without fear of falling. Laundry is in basement where I want it to be, as it has an overflow drain in the floor. Today, I return to carnivore.

Much to my despair, my mother lost her eyesight from macular degeneration before I discovered this truth. I really admire you going against the standard of care and being accused of malpractice to help your patients, as we entered this profession to do in the first place! Thank you for speaking out!
Thanks for your comments, I can really relate. I am 64 and have never worn glasses, having great eye sight. During eclipses I always looked directly into them when everyone said it would damage my eyes. I never wear sun glasses either. I work in the medical field as an RT and am the only guy my age who does not wear glasses even for small numbers on medical equipment. I do a lot of computer work, as well and never have any problems. I get my eyes checked about every 30 years and have not been to a doctor in 40 years. I concentrate on what I can do to stay healthy and totally stay out of the field I work in. Carnivore is what I do. Thanks for speaking out on your experience and have a great retirement!
I'm here because I have diverticulitis. I was vegan five years ago for three years. I had bloody stools. I knew that's when the disease started. I'm now nine days into carnivore and already feeling amazing!!!! This video is wonderful and I will be sharing;! Same here Dr!! I was so addicted to fruit! I could eat a whole watermelon and not the small ones!!
63 year old woman... Carnivore [ I feel my best when I eat beef, bacon, butter, and eggs]. I'm officially off my blood pressure medicine and my blood sugars and blood pressures are running completely normal. IBS is improving. I've lost 16 lb since January 1st 2023. I'm waking up with energy in the morning that I haven't felt since I was a teenager. When I have deviated from the diet I have paid a high price physically. High motivation to stay true! Thank you so much for all the wonderful wonderful information you and the others of the Carnivore Community bring to us. You are saving lives!
I still remember when I stayed at my aunts house where they barely eat vegetables and I felt so good. No bloating or acid reflux at all then I thought it might be the vegetables that are hurting me. So I am glad that I found this channel and I can learn more. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I just started carnivore on Monday of this week. Already feeling less bloated and more energetic. I’m watching from Ooltewah Tennessee. Thanks for enlightening me.
This is some good stuff! I haven't seen a doc in over 10 years. I've taken my health into my own hands. And at 64 years I've decided to give the conivor diet a try. My first day was amazing! I ate my first meal at 9:30a and didn't get hungry until 7p. Even then, I could have skipped dinner. I'm looking forward to seeing when my joints and eye health improve. Thanks, Doctors!!
you’d better go Vegan 🌱… or at least go listen to a few similar videos in the Vegan world … Such as Dr John Mc Dougall, Dr Neal Barnard , Dr Kim Williams, Dr Michael Greger , Dr Mickael Klapper … and so many more
Eating carnivore for 11 months now. Got rid of IBS, lost 2 clothes sizes. My blood test has drastically improved! My blood pressure down and my energy is much better! My most valuable change is my mental health. I was depressed and down a lot but now I am excited about the things I used to do but gave up.
Very good point. Those foods are only beneficial if food becomes scarce. I’m carnivore, but if store shelves became bare, carbs could benefit us in storing a bit of fat to prolong periods of starvation. So although I’m carnivore, I also have a long term storage pantry.
@camwhitman5425 I have beans & rice for famine. I also have canned tallow and ghee which will be my main energy source if needed, the rice is for my OH who is still vegetarian but will fish for extra protein (we live on the coast).
I live in Pennsylvania. I am 78 years old and have a lipid disease. When I started treatment for the disease which is an enzyme replacement, I gained 35 lbs in 6 months and have carried that weight for 25 years. I could never lose it. Since watching you and follwing this diet for 3 months, I have lost 13 lbs. and I feel for the first time that I will get to what would be a healthy weight for me.
I started keto about 5 years ago. After years of trying so many diets. Low fat, salads, 6 mini meals a day, weight watchers, you name it, I tried it. But with keto I dropped 45 pounds without starving myself, was able to stop my high blood pressure meds, no more swollen legs, improved skin etc. I am mostly carnivore now. I say mostly because I still fall off the wagon from time to time. Not easy living with a baker in the house who also likes to make homemade pizza, fries, breads, etc 🤨. But I'm trying with renewed vigor to not be tempted and lazy really. I say lazy because I know if I'd just make myself a proper meal that temptation disappears. At 61, and inspite of the things going on in the world I intend to be fit, healthy and joyful. Great discussion, thank you ❤️. Liked and shared
I have stage 3 of CKD. My doctor's, dieticians and nutritionists told me to stay not eat more than 40gms of protein. After listening to your carnivore story I did it for 2 months. The results were phenomenal! I cured my Iron & B12 deficiencies, Anemia and raised my GFR 2 points. Thank you so much for helping me and so many others. I tell everyone about you.
Fantastic! I am a 65 year old artist, and having painted thousands of pictures, sketches and more, my eyesight has deteriorated badly in the last 20 years. I am now 100% convinced to go carnivore! Not tomorrow, not in the future, but NOW! THANK YOU both for this excellent, inspiring, illuminating video.🙏☺
@@andrewforrest108 Well done! Hope you're feeling better now. Chocolate is not the health food they claim it is, it's harmful esp if you have a autoimmune condition
@@Alloy-p3u Thank you, and yes, chocolate is exactly as you say, and I am committing to a 30 day carnivore challenge next month, which should crack it:)
@@andrewforrest108awesome! Are you part of the sbgang for the challenge? Fellow artist here, looking forward to my first 30 day challenge, too. Best of luck to you!!!
This video is excellent. I am 60 years of age and in great health, but was recently diagnosed with macular degeneration. I was advised to eat those greens. What finally pushed me forward to try the carnefore diet, was a book I read some 10 years ago by weston price. (Nutrition and Degeneration) I'm sorry that I didn't accept the wisdom then, but I do now. Keep spreading the good word.
Ocular Melenoma, Proton Radiation, a year of anti-inflamitory eyeball injections, Keto/carnivore, eye doc couldn't believe how well and how fast I recovered, saw me lose 50lbs from my first visit. He's very curious and, I think, believes my PHD had a direct effect on my recovery.. Cancer free!!
I can relate to being a sugar/carb addict. I have been eating carnivore (more or less) since the middle of 2020 and lost sixty pounds in the following six months. I now feel that I have never been in better health and I am in my seventies!
Carnivore changed my life. Started 3 yrs ago and I’m now 71. I stopping telling people because of the hateful comments I get. Severe propaganda from Big Food has ruined people’s lives but many just won’t listen to another opinion.
I live in Kazakhstan! I'm 28 y.o. I've been carnivore for 7 weeks only + 3 hours per week resistance training + OMAD and then switched to 48 hours fast . I've lost 8 kg. I was severe sugar/chocolate addict, based on my glucose and insuline results prior to the diet I'm sure I was at least insuline resistant. Cravings gone, bloating gone, most acne gone (but still have issues, probably because of dairy, so i'm trying to quit it now). Thank you Dr Berry for all your work ❤
I am two months in and loving the deep nourishment I feel. I am a 58 yr old woman and was not interested in living with joint inflammation for the rest of my life.
I had Lyme for 6 years...my diet was horrible as I ate quite a few bagels. My doctor was a functional health doctor and we did oxygen treatments with my blood and it helped to get rid of my Lyme's disease back in 1996. He also told me that stress was what would keep me from healing. He was so right. I am fine now. but am going to start eating meat again after hearing this podcast.
I’m 75. On fat keto - which means mostly meat. Highest weight 289. 136 this morning. Lost a lot of weight and muscle when calorie counting. Now experiencing autophagy like crazy. More like a miracle, actually. Thanks for the video!
I have estrogen dominance, uterine hyperplasia, chronic dry eyes amongst other symptoms. I have been clean keto for months (no diary, wheat or nuts) and I feel great! I quit drinking alcohol 3 weeks ago for health and spiritual growth reasons. Started carnivore 6 days ago. I am looking forward to seeing how my health and overall well-being transforms! Doing carnivore for 30 days and plan on doing more of a keto-vore after. But more carnivore “heavy.” Gradually adding some veggies to see how I feel. Anyhow, as I ramble I am just full of gratitude for the health care professionals coming forward and promoting diet as medicine! Yah bless you all! You’re fighting the darkness! ❤
Rachel Curtis watching from Chipley, Florida. My husband and I have been on this diet for three weeks and already have seen nothing but positive results. Love the way I’m feeling. My husband is 78 and I am 72.
Greetings from Poland from 73yo. healthy eggs and bacon eater. A few months ago I changed to Keto diet, this fixed all my health problems and now I also added (weekends breakfast only) things I love to eat like croissants with cheese and avocado or French baguette with ham and tomatoes and my body does not show any signs of protest. Thank you doctor Berry.😁
I did the Keto Diet for 5 years. I came upon this Carnivore way to live. Using Keto I lost 68 pounds and no longer have High Blood Pressure and the only pill I use is a vitamin.I started the Carnivore Diet 7 days ago and I am very glad as I feel great. I am 82 years young and I live in the best small city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
I started the carnivore diet 3 months ago. I eat pork brain every day. About 40 grams, and pork liver, about 100 grams. And of course beef, fairly fatty beef, about 500 grams and 2 eggs. I do this as an intermittent fasting every 24 hours. I lost 12 kg in the first 4 weeks and an additional 8 kg in the next 2 months. Now I have reached my ideal weight. The health examination showed very good improvements: For the first time in 30 years, my liver values are in the normal range. My LDL cholesterol even went down! - and the HDL has risen, in total I have a cholesterol value of 189 instead of 220 a year ago. My triglycerides have dropped by 80%. My doctor can't explain all this. Neither do I. The reason I started the diet is because of my rheumatoid arthritis. The rheumatism values are all in the normal range! My joint pain is gone after 2 months. It's completely insane - I can hardly believe it myself. Above all: How can it be that my blood lipids have decreased so much, even though I eat pork brain and 2 eggs every day?
@@blancagomez3721 - Wild aardvarks are great! But you must eat their bloody fresh interiors first, like all real carnivore animals do... They don't cook anything, that doesn't do them any good... Remember, raw interiors first...
@@pit2ryan3 right? Pigs are disgusting animals, in terms of their diet. They are garbage disposals, just like certain other animals. That's why God put them in the "unclean" category in terms of meat. They eat garbage and feces. 🤢
I started eating solely Carnivore 5 days ago. I am 54 and still look young however 5 days ago Dr says I might possibly have the start to Parkinson's. Had a cat Scan and they found a mass in my head on my pituitary gland. I also was diagnosed with Lupus 25 years ago. I know food has huge affect on our health. I had for 25 years eliminated fat from my diet so I figured I am going do this as the last week with the Dr's I figured I was not going to just let this all happen to me. I am one that believe food can heal. Will keep you posted
Carnivore --age 61--went on this way of eating to see if it would help with allergies/asthma--- Got so much improvement in so many areas --going on 9 months and loving it---weight loss but so healthy got my waistline back and away with the bulges lost 15 pounds in 3 to 4 months- Never hungry and enjoying every meal-sleep / no pains in body/ no prescription use for asthma or allergies/ love my energy// super healthy nails/and so much more --Husband went carnivore in 2 months he was off insulin off 2 prescription drugs for diabetes-in8 months went from 236 to 185 in weight and looks so healthy-…..Praise God
I use to live 2 miles away from Dr Wiedemans office (10 years ago). Now I live near Raleigh,NC. I started Carnovore about 3months ago. Love it. I don’t live alone. Would be easier if I did. But it’s getting easier. ❤
On Oct of 2022 I had developed a hole in my retina, non diabetic. I’ve been keto for years. But had just started carnivore in Oct on that year. I started seeing a retina doc for my attached retina in July and when it separated it left a hole. While on carnivore, and using the eye drops as ordered, and Christian women praying for me, within 3 months the doctor said he only sees 1:4 heal like this. I will not need surgery as the hole is filling in. Now my vision is not perfect yet but it’s so much better.
I started Carnivore diet 2 weeks ago and I already see and feel an amazing change. My skin is very smooth and lost weight 😊 before I’ve been on Ketogenic diet for years but I just kept getting sick and not feeling good plus my weight gained and I had crazy cravings .. now I have non and I eat twice ❤️ Thank you Dr Berry you are my biggest inspiration ❤
I have been eating a carnivore diet for 30 days. I haven't had this much energy for 30 years! I am 63 and feel so healthy. I am going to continue this eating for my healing.
@danajacobs9097 I am doing well. The healing is progressing. I had a set back this summer after vacation to a foreign country where I had very little control of what I could eat. I now am doing well again. Carnivore for 4 months, 20 pound weight loss, many inches lost! It has worked for me.
@@donnaclancy3731 that's awesome. Thank you for your reply back. I'm also gonna try this. Well I did today for the first time. I have an eating disorder for over twenty years. I was 123 pounds two years ago and put weight on without eating. I knew something wasn't right. Long story short. I just had an operation to take out a tumor that was 16x12cm and of course two tubes cut and my right ovary. By the grace of God thank God it wasn't the c word. Having what happened to me really opened my eyes to life and putting my eating disorder aside. When I had that tumor I was so scared I was gonna die and I really don't wanna die. I was literally killing myself slowly being an anorexic bulimic. I'm five ten and I was just so frail and weak. So I believe God opened my eyes and don't wanna disrespect the body he gave me anymore. I was so hooked on being so thin that it really almost took me out. I'm grateful more than grateful. I just wanna be healthy so I can see my granddaughters get older and hopefully be around for theirs if they choose to have any. I want to live a healthy life. When I asked the doctors how and why I got that thing . They said it just happens. Not an answer I want to hear from a man whom is supposed to be more educated than me..again thank you and God bless
Donnaclancy3731 I started carnivore 5 days ago. Im almost 66 years old. I’m in a stage of feeling low energy. Is that normal, if so about how long will it last?
@conniedavidson9026 Are you eating enough would be my first question? I had to eat 3 to 4 meals a day to get enough food in at the beginning. I don't remember low energy. Keep at it, though. I truly believe you will feel better soon. Keep me posted please.
Thanks to God for putting your podcast my way. Been doing carnivore for 3 years plus and lost 130 pounds and 10 sizes. Saved my life. Feel the best I ever have in my 50 years of life
Raleigh, NC I am 55 years old and have Lyme disease. I am trying to get back on track with Low Carb/Carnivore. I lived that way for years and my health issues/Lyme symptoms had disappeared. My skin looked amazing, tons of energy, gut issues were non-existant, cellulite gone...I looked YEARS younger and felt DECADES younger. Thanks for all you do!

@@lidiastarczewska6572 Lidia, I am Polish also. Also with Lyme. I use MMS ( Jim Humble) just 3 drops a day and LDN for pain instead oh morphine. LDN is a miracle medicine in 4.5 mg dose.
@@lidiastarczewska6572 You need to find dr who will know how to use it. My dr recently told me that for Lyme pain you need different dose , bur 4,5mg for Hashimoto make huge difference. There was a point that I was so tired I couldn't function and ordered GcMAF in capsuled and shouts from Ossaka Japan , but it is very expensive. Good kind of colostrum ( low temp dried) could hep also. GcMaf is made of collostrum . It boost immune system. LDN Foundation will find you dr in your area who prescribe it and know what dose to use it. They found my dr for me.
@@iwonkabk Hi Iwona , thanks for your answer, I also did msm therapy, ldn, didnt help me at all 😓 maybe it was too short , I dont know 😞😞 how long you use msm and ldn?
I have a thyroid issue that doesn’t respond to treatment, even when levels are normal. The most troublesome symptoms are severe sleep disruption, weight gain, and ADHD-like issues (for the first time. ) I started carnivore on May 2 and lost ten pounds almost overnight. Then another 3 pounds. Losing water weight is normal when on a diet, but for me, it means lessening inflammation. That’s what I’m going for. I’m committed to this diet for a minimum of six months but possibly forever. Thank you for educating us so we can stop the madness of eating SAD.
Such a great interview!! I'm 66... What I've noticed after 11 months being a meat eater is that my mood upon awakening in the morning is very different. No alarm for me!! My anxiety is gone... I sleep like a little baby child...
I’m 72 and have been on carnivore for a month. Pain has lessen, lost 9 lbs and many more to go. I love this way of living! It’s easy and enjoyable! I didn’t know how good ribeye tasted I’m hooked!
I have been on the carnivore diet for 3 weeks. I went on it to try to clear my eczema, which is mostly gone. I have also dropped 13 pounds. I have more energy and feel well. I do still have a problem with constipation but am trying to eat more fats. I am 70 years old and have tried everything to stop eczema and to lose weight. Thank you for educating us.
I did it mainly to clear my eczema After the dermatologist somewhat cured it with creams/shower gel. I dropped 20 lbs in 3 weeks but it was helped along with catching the virus a couple days before Halloween. I have the constipation too wow. I just got eczema first time back in October just came with the change in seasons to dry/cold weather. I'm in my 40s, never had it so it was alarming and I went to the doctor after fishing one day thinking something is Terribly wrong! my armpits were so blistered from scratching! I still feel it wanting to surface, but this diet has suppressed it. Eggs every morning since early November. Meat every day (but not enough). I'll still eat roughly less than 20 grams of carbs/sugar. Wish I could cut it out but I need dessert, even if it's 6 grams carbs/sugar.
@@blockaderunner We all know nuts are hard to digest, and have some carbs and fiber. Try eating a good sized hand full of mixed nuts (no peanuts) or pistachios before bed. I am no longer shitting bricks, stools are long, lean and easy to pass. I have been cutting nothe nuts to maybe 12 or 15 at a time and still able to pass stools easily, I may get down to not needing them but I do like them ;-)
@@MrGordy61 I'm WAY better now after doin a 3-day fast last week and multiple 18-24 hour fasts this week. Haven't felt this good in decades. Zero inflammation now. It's almost cured my tinnitus as well.
Had to comment on this one...I was off carbs for 10 years. Felt like i was 18 again. I've strayed a bit the past couple years and feel the difference. Getting back it now.
The comment section is almost as impressive as the video. It is so helpful to see that lots of people have shown recovery of all sorts, just by learning - on their own- what a proper human diet is and how to implement it. People of all ages from all over the world. I applaud you all! (Altho'? I think Dr. Berry forgot to ask how she's surviving her rickets and scurvy.)
The comments are why I’ve become a UA-cam-only social media fan. I learn so much extra under the videos from the other viewers , No matter what the topic. There doesn’t seem to be the infighting that you find on Facebook, just genuine sharing and caring for the most part. At least on the ones I watch.
@@yukonsusie UA-cam will not tell you if they delete comments. I have seen YT delete my comments where I just wrote: eat more me-at. The woke are pushing things on us and filtering what we see.
@@AlJay0032Dang! True YT not perfect, I had many of my comments deleted On health threads regarding C - 1984 especially last winter, and some home steaders had their channels erased for promoting health and self sufficient lifestyles but I didn’t realize Y T had gone politically correct on m e a t way of eating 🤦🏻♀️
I just started Carvivore yesterday. I really had a tough 5 yesterday and NEED to get well I hope and pray this will help my severe vertigo and blurry vision.
Dr Jen you’ve saved my life!!! I’ve lost almost a 100lbs on Keto Carnivore your Videos have helped me so much! I’m a full time Caregiver and almost 67 this lifestyle change for 4 years now really keeps my aging process for sure
I used to have PCOS that was healed with healthy keto. I only had a period about once a year and a few months into keto I got my period back in a regular monthly cycle. A year later we had our first baby girl who is now 2 months old. 😊 I also did keto during pregnancy. Very thankful for people like Dr Berry who’s videos I watched back when I started.
I just asked this question. I'm wondering if my eating disorder caused my ovary 16x12 cm tumor thank God it wasn't the c but they did take out my right ovary and cut off my two tubes. I was so thin and put weight on and didn't understand why cause I didn't eat to gain weight. June I had a bad pain under my rib for three days went to the hospital and that's when they came back to me saying what I had. I had to get a C-section august 7th 2023. Now I'm trying to lose weight again but I don't wanna go back to my old habits cause I know God spared my life.and what's messed up I didn't even feel that huge thing inside me.
I’m a 66 yr. Old Naturopathic Dr, with almost 40 yrs. In holistic health. I’ve been researching and watching your videos. I am totally inspired to do this! When though I have eaten very healthy for years, I still am insulin resistant with metabolic challenges! Thanks to you both!!
I really had to let people know this, I was doing keto for 4yrs & realised that I was was doing too much veg & not enough protein & fat . I had dark circles under my eyes & looked terrible with out makeup. I've gone to carnivore & feel so much better. The only thing I couldn't let go of was liquid stevia in my coffee. I started having a misty smoky in my vision. I was worried about my eyes , then I saw a podcast & this gentleman was explaining about how he realised that was something wrong when he said to his son that there must be a bad fire somewhere. His son said there is no fire dad. Now I realise that stevia is doing that to me. I've stopped the stevia only for a few days & that smokey vision has gone. But more than this, It hits home to me that I'm on the right path for my health . Thank you doctor Berry for all you do for us x
Eeeep, my coffee with whipping cream and truvia is the one thing i can't give up. I thought stevia was the best alternative to sugar and sugar alternatives!😭😭 I don't know how I can truly be successful with this carnivore diet. It's taking away EVERYTHING I've grown heavily dependent on for most of my life. 😔 And yes, i do realize the tragic irony in sticking to my SAD diet whilst being miserable the whole damn time and KNOWING what it is that is keeping me enslaved. *Sigh** maybe there's no hope for me-- bad food is just a heavy addiction.
No sweeteners with suffix -ol will ever do you any good. They destroy guts. I'd rather do honey or just cream in my coffee but forget about all sugar alcohols.
@@chernobylshery885 I had read a study on glycine and NAC... glycine is an amino acid, about 1/3 as sweet as sugar... but looks like sugar. it has tons of health benefits... but I still avoided it cos I thought, oh it has a sweet taste, it'll out my blood glucose up. well turns out it has the OPPOSITE effect... and reduces post prandial glucose to 50% of what it would be. I'm doing a trial of it...with NAC the studies were on marks daily apple, at least the original study GLYNAC supplementation in older adults. it literally reversed aging, then they took it away and switched aging on again, then switched it back off!( the markers were things like glucose, waist circumf, gait, arthritis sympts etc.). also its a collagen precursor, and apparently we are all ( all mammals) definitely deficient in this one of the 3. Mark Sisson did an article re glycine or collagen... I think glycine won out from memory. its cheaper too I think. so I have chronic pain exacerbations from hypermobility, but anecdotally haven't had one in 6 weeks taking glycine and NAC 2-3x a day. also... u can BAKE with it, put in hot drinks, whatever. I wish I'd realised beforehand!
We, hubby and I did Carnivore for a few months and it was great!!! Hubby lost all cravings. Fell off the wagon hard, and hubby has all the cravings back. Trying to get back on but the addiction to carbs and sugar is REAL!! Working back slowly
Thanks for sharing this experience. Same thing happened to me over and over again on KETO. Now that I’m on Carnivore I’ve resolved to “Take the Pledge” never to eat any carbs ever again. NEVER. Being a sugar and dairy addict is absolutely the same as being a heroin or alcohol addict. You can’t go back. Even one “sampling” is enough to reactivate the addiction center in the brain and it grabs you by the throat and punishes you for DARING to climb on the wagon to get away from your addiction. There is only one way to prevent that from happening: ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY - NO CARBS (ESP. SUGARS & DAIRY) EVER. PERIOD. FULL STOP.
Myself and husband have been on keto for nearly 2 yrs now. We have still had salads and veg every day. I'm now very interested in carnivore! I'm 58 my husband is 66. We have improved a lot on keto, but I will be trying to be more carnivore as I feel this will definitely suit me more. Thankyou ❤ we are from UK.
Greetings Dr. Berry and Dr. Wiedeman!! Jim Champion tuned in from the Australia of the USA here on Cotile Lake, Louisiana!! Thank you for your invaluable Service!!

@@Celine-j6g that's what I do every single day :)
I am a 62 year old woman who spent many years maintaining my ‘normal weight’ by being hungry, getting hangry, having dry eye, being bloated with IBS and being miserable. Now I don’t eat ANY plants or things made from plants and have healed my body. Shocking that I learned this from UA-cam and not the many doctors / health professionals I asked. Thank you for sharing this video.
Same here. I’m 65 and spent most my life eating less and exercising more. I was always hungry/hangry too. My weight went up and down by 100 lbs several times in my life. Health took a dive. Now I’m carnivore over 4 years and loving it! I’m healthy and easily maintain a weight that is optimal for me. No more going hungry and over exercising. And I learned it all via self experimentation and these wonderful UA-cam carnivore influencers. Mainstream medicine is no help. I avoid doctors.
No plants and nothing made from plants. What about spices, like pepper and garlic and onion? NONE of that?
Annette I'm 62 and just read your comment, I have the same ailments. Do you eat fish,chicken,could you tell me a little more. I'm definitely a carbohydrate addict. How did you resist?
@@saoirse_flies I eat onions, garlic, and some condiments, so I probably qualify as ketovore.

I am female, 83 years old and have been gluten intolerant for the last 15 years. Despite me not eating gluten I still bloat in the stomach and I also have a fat abdomen that I can't get rid of. I am otherwise slim everywhere else. I go to gym twice a week but find I don't have much stamina. It is 10pm at present and tomorrow I will wake up as a carnivore!
Hoping you awakened to a carnivore lifestyle. You will truly be amazed. Give yourself grace, be patient, and eat until full. One tip I would offer is when the meat on your plate tastes great, keep eating. When the meat on your plate no longer tastes great, you are full. Put the remainder in the fridge. Wishing you good health!
Good for you. I am 84, female and was just like you-gluten sensitive and fat belly but slim otherwise. I found carnivore around January 2023. It made so much sense to me and I started eating carnivore. Lost 10 pounds mostly in my stomach mediately heartburn, acid reflux, went away and have lots more energy. It is definitely a wonderful way to eat. Now my daughter is doing the same. good luck.
We're you able to become and stay carnivore? What's your result? I'm just starting, and back sliding a lot.

Yes, when you're healthy you have a thousand wishes, but when you're sick you only have one. Thanks Docs.
In about 1996 I was working on a large 100 thousand acre farm in the outback of NSW. It was sheep shearing time and one of the shearer’s was an older guy 60 years old. They were living in the same quarters as us . We ate with them each morning and evening. The older guy only at steaks done in butter and garlic. I never saw him eat anything else and asked him about this. He told me as I munched on my supposedly healthy muesli and fruit breakfast that I was poisoning myself and that fruit and grains were not designed for humans. At the time 1996 I thought he was insane but alas he was way ahead of his time. He was the fittest and strongest of the shearing team despite the fact his team mates were all in their late twenties. The only other thing he consumed was water.
.
Great story!
I bet he's still going strong today!
He wasn't ahead of his time.
He was right on his time cos the high carb, high fibre, high plant food diets came around and just after this time period. 🥺
The concensus, at least amongst this audience, is that oats and fruit is bad for you? I eat oatmeal often, including steel cut oats, with my homemade mix of numerous dried fruits, nuts and seeds. I'm so confused whenever I come to the doctor channels.
@@Funexpected I was too for a long time. It's not surprising though when you consider how many livelihoods depend on us eating poor-quality foods. Then you have to factor in all the drug company profits from the resulting illnesses.
You really have to do your own research, combined with self-experimentation. Once you find a few channels that agree, and whose creators you trust, a picture emerges of how humans ate for a very long time before modern agriculture and medicine. Some things are still unknown and controversial, so that's where the experimentation comes is. You just need to be scrupulously honest about the results.
Yes, grains cause inflammation and should be avoided. Dried fruits are loaded with sugar, so they should be avoided for the same reason you would avoid fresh fruit. Nuts and seeds are problematic although some people seem to tolerate a few. I tried to keep macadamias and pistachios in my own diet but had to admit that I felt better without them.
Personally, I trust Ken Berry, along with Anthony Chaffee, Bart Kay, and Harry Serpanos. No doubt there are others. Keep digging! But the bottom line does seem to be: less is more. Variety is just another food myth.
Vary your meats! 🥩
Best wishes. 👍
I was on carnivore for a year felt on top of the world. All aches and pains gone, lost 52 lbs. I ate one piece of cake on Mother's Day and immediately all the cravings came back. Gained 60 lbs with 6 months. I'm back on carnivore for the last 3 months and the healing has begun.
That cake was delicious though wasn't it?😅 I'm worried about this every time a family member says ahhh cmon eat just one piece....I know better
Thank you for sharing that. Last year I lost 28 lbs. with carnivore and fasting and it only took about a month. My doctor was impressed. But then came Christmas and I gave in to sugar. Now I’m still fighting my craving and feel like such a failure. I’ve gained back 10:lbs. and have arthritis pains and other symptoms that I know will go away if I get back to carnivore but I’m a slave to sugar. When I listen to these videos I just admire the people who have control of their cravings but I wonder if I’ll ever be able to conquer mine. Kudos to you for getting back on the wagon. It encourages me to keep fighting knowing that there are others that have the same struggle. May God bless you.

I’m 73 years old and I have completely reversed my type 2 diabetes after 20 years of misguided information from the medical community.
I started my carnivore journey 4 months ago and now I’m not on any medication. Thanks for your help. I’m in British Columbia, Canada
Ed,
Can you please give an example of your meals for just ONE day? I'm in Toronto. Thank you 🙏❤
How many times do you eat per day and what are some examples of meals that you eat thanks
What does the doctor who treated the diabetes think? Do they acknowledge you are healed by diet.
@@chetmyers7041 my doctor at the Veteran's Administration recommended that I get on the Carnivore diet due to my Type 2 diabetes and being overweight.
Hello from a fellow British Columbian/carnivore 😀. 40 lbs lighter!
I just turned 60 years old and have been Vegan for 10 years. I am a kidney transplant recipients became pre-diabetic. I'm on Cellcept to retain my kidney and now have the very rare ocular melanoma which, I believe is from the medication. If I was carnevore, I believe that I would never have gone through that suffering and degradation of life. I have studied nutrition and I fell for the Vegan lifestyle because I value and appreciate good health and want to preserve whatever I have left. My decision is to not get chemo and to reverse my disease with a carnevore diet, exercise, and prayer. I've stopped taking the medication and I am already experiencing positive results. Thank you for standing up and giving your information.
I hope you’re doing well. Years ago, I became a vegan because I thought it would be the best diet for my health. What a mistake that was! Now, after nearly eight years Low Carb and about three eating almost exclusively meat, I will never go back to the plants.
I’d urge you to watch the videos by Dr. Chaffee and Dr. Berry with the cancer researcher Thomas Siegfried. Best of luck to you.
I wish you all the best. I have no idea what is best except for the prayer: For God everything is possible. God bless you.
@@terrysiave9996 Thank you.
Amen
Wishing you all the good health and praying for your total healing❤️
I'm 76 and struggled trying to drop weight..I started the meat diet 2 weeks ago and dropped 25 pounds in that short time span. never will another potatoe touch my lips. Retired and have a little farm in Arkansas. where now the corn and vegetables will only feed the cows and pigs. Thank you.
Awesome! Also there’s some irony to your last statement, and that is that grains aren’t even an appropriate diet for cows, in that it makes them fat too, ie the marbling of beef…and as for pigs, they’re monogastric, like us humans, but if given the opportunity, they would eat us. This happens more often than we hear about, but when pigs are allowed to become wild, they grows tusks and become their ultimate selves; similar to humans on a carnivore diet.
Wow! That’s awesome. Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈
What’s your take on pork?
My son has mental health and I fed him beef burgers he said more with a smile I said this is it. He couldn't even speak but now he speaks!
Beautiful!
Wow! That is amazing! ❤
He got mental health from beef? That's so encouraging, well done! (You, not the beef!)
Keep up the good work mama! 💪💯
I have hundreds of sebaceous cysts under my skin all over my body. My skin looks lumpy because of the cysts. Has anyone found a reduction in cysts after eating carnivore? I am Day 38.
It's definitely spreading, thank God, finally! My wife and I could not conceive for 7 years. Just when we were about to give up, God led us to a doctor who treats his patients with food. All we had to do is eliminate carbs (ketogenic diet) and conceive naturally. Simple as that! Best solutions are always the simplest! God is great! Thank you guys for spreading the word! God bless !
Amen!

My Dr told me I had a fatty liver. On my own I did intermittent fasting. I ate meat and chicken, eggs. Cut out sugar, and carbs. After 6 months my Dr checked my blood work. I asked her how was my liver. She said I did not have fatty liver. Yea! And I also felt great!
@@mariaguzman1552 what blood test did they do to confirm the fatty liver is gone?
Yes, I am interested in the tests they performed to state the fatty liver is fine. I too was diagnosed with fatty liver.
When I was on Keto, I still CRAVED sweets, because of eating stawberries and several veggies every day. Now that I am 100% Carnivore, I no longer have cravings and I FEEL SO GOOD!!
Likewise! I had a major sweet tooth!! Made so many keto desserts and ate one to two avocados a day. Been on carnivore 5 DAYS, yes only 5 days and I don’t crave sweets at all. Did I mention I also bake scones for my coffee shop and those don’t turn me on anymore amazing! Salicylic Acid is also an issue in a majority of fruits and veggies which trigger peoples auto immune issues. I’d suggest looking into that for your self if you’re reading this from the outside. You got this! It’s EASY!
I just can't imagine eating nothing but meat.
Do you only eat meat absolutely nothing else??
@@sellbydate - You can't live on meat only, unless you are a flesh fly maggot... And let's not forget that carnivore animals mainly feed themselves on uncooked raw bowels and offal rather than the meat (muscle) itself...
keto is good, but yeah should just avoid sweet fruits overall.
cieramist1 - You are alone in a room, a lion besides you... Who's the real carnivore?
1 year before carnivore I was a 436 pound type 2 diabetic on 3 diabetes meds and having no hope. I have a young daughter and knew I had to make a big change.
Started off with keto and a few months in switched to carnivore. Joined a CrossFit gym and a power lifting club.
Hard work turned into daily habits and I am I am now down from 436 pounds to 280. I’m off all meds and have zero signs of diabetes. A1c went from 11 to 5.4, triglycerides are down. Literally everything.
People like Dr. Berry saved my freaking life! Thank you!
Bravo! And, it just keeps getting better and better. Stay the course! 8v)
Holy cow!!!!! Congratulations!!!
For clarity, does a carnivore diet consist of only meat? As in your plates of food is a fried, grilled, sautéed, or baked piece of meat 🥩 and nothing else?
Or is it meat & a starch? Or is it a whole food plate as in no processed ( bread pasta crackers, butter, cheese etc) foods?
Meat veggies starch etc?
@@changeoffocus1074 for me it’s beef, lamb, chicken, eggs, fish, liver, bone broth, kefir, water, and salt.
@@changeoffocus1074 and I avoid fried food because the process of frying causes food to be inflammatory, even when fried in tallow in my experience
great video, I am a truck driver who switched to 100% carnivore diet eight months ago. I can't even begin to tell you how much better I feel. went from 285lbs to 185lbs in eight months, but that is only half of the benefits. depression is gone, I sleep better, have much more energy and am almost never hungry.
That is so awesome! Great work, my friend 👍💪
Wow!! Totally inspiring!
Congratulations on your 100 lb weight loss and return to health! It's easier getting into your truck now, isn't it?
Can you please email me what meats you are eating and what you drink please ?
@@sairabaez119 Professor Bart Kay says to eat the fatty muscle meat of large ruminant animals (grass fed preferably) once a day to satiety. Add in butter and salt as you wish but not one single gram of carbohydrate - ever.
I’m 74 year old female a year ago I was taking 76 units of insulin at bedtime. I started a keto diet at the end of August last year. I have lost 102 pounds. I am off all insulin. My last A1c was 5.2 and healthier than I’ve ever been. I’ve gone from 297 down to 195.
Fantastic work!!
I’m a 79 year old woman and I’ve been carnivore for a year now and don’t intend to go back. Apart from anything else, it has been mood altering, and depression and anxiety disappeared two days into the diet. For that alone, I’d remain carnivore. But there are so many other benefits, my peripheral neuropathy has improved, my sleep is fantastic and I’m NEVER hungry 🙏
I'm a 77 year old woman and hearing experiences of the carnivore way of eating from others from my age group is so encouraging. I'm trying to become strict carnivore but keep falling off the wagon. The last month I've been doing fairly well with only one major slip up. I'm doing it in the hope of lessening my joint pain which has improved a lot already and I love the fact that I'm not hungry every two hours anymore. Usually only eat two meals a day now and a few times only one. Thank you so much for posting your experience . It's giving me the encouragement to continue my journey.
Carnivore shakes me off the wagon … keto helps me thrive and stay on course the more variety is better for me but too much variety isn’t good either . That balance is out here for me I’ll find it
Wow - good for you! Can you give me an idea of what a typical day of food looks like for you? I have eye floaters and I'm hoping to reverse this and make them disappear!
Great to hear!
Awesome 🎉
I have been on carnivore fast for 6 weeks, I was diabetic on meds but after 6 weeks I’m no longer diabetic Dr says. I have been in this conversation for years. I have my husband doing this meat eating now and looking forward to him not being sick from diabetic and praying that his dementia will reverse.
Make sure he gets enough animal fat - make baconaise, hollandaise etc…and look into high dose thiamine therapy (Elliot Overton on UA-cam) - beneficial for recovering from both t2 diabetes and t3 diabetes (dementia). Good luck!

So far my joint pain has reduced/almost fully gone, no more hormonal migraines, amazing hair growth, lost 10lbs, no more chronic constipation, brain fog is way less and energy way up. I'm so thankful for all of you for giving us all the tools and knowledge to help me heal.

@@teetwo27 I’m doing fantastic! I just hit my 90 days last week and my next goal is a year of strict carnivore. I’m down 18lbs since starting carnivore (47lbs since Jan 1) I have such a long list of other things I’ve healed from and ZERO cravings. I’m so thankful to be around the SAD but not crave any of it!! If you haven’t started, and are considering it, I highly recommend at least committing to 90 days.
I have been a Carnivore for the last 13 months and never felt better. Dropped a ton of weight (110 lbs) and a lots of my issues have gone with that weight. I am a 68 year old man who's biggest regret is that I did not start this 4 decades ago. Sigh.

She is saying to a carnivore is good and you are to the opposite. I do not know whom to live.
I am a 70 year old man have been carnivore for one year. I absolutely reversed my pre diabetic and now am the same weight as I was at 18. I used to have a body that responded well to weight lifting but as I got older the response and the will to workout left me. Since carnivore the response and the will returned and my muscle gains have even shocked me. If you are a senior and want to develop a body you are proud of you must try carnivore and fasting. I was at my doctors last week and she commented on my body as being a young mans body. It made me mad and I asked her why the medical community refuses to treat the cause rather than the symptoms . Her answer was very few people can do what you do in terms of diet. I left her office shaking my head!
There's a lot more money in symptoms!
It is shocking how many are unwilling to change their diet; however, in my opinion doctor should Always suggest root cause healing aka diet change first Before suggesting medicine.
@@CatholicHousewife2017totally! I bet many docs don’t even know the solution, or wouldn’t even recommend it, but go straight to prescribing meds.
@@lenkajf7816 doctors ultimately work for us, so we should "shop around" to find a doctor who is Healthy and genuinely wants his/her patients to get, or remain, Healthy, rather than a being satified with a career as a legal/glorified drug dealer.
Yeah, maybe, but they don't recommend it in the first place!
I recently attended a get together of a group of retirees where the meal was a smorgasbord of processed, breaded deep fried foods. I ordered off the menu and had to pay for my own crab legs and butter. I wasn't even tempted by the buffet. I was repulsed. Feels great to not be controlled by carb/sugar addiction.
I did the same thing at a golf tournament. Baked ziti and starchy vegetables were the meal offered. I ended up paying out of pocket for other food.
Yes!!!
Yeah, watching others shovel in the carbs while they are obese, and sick, and puffy…no thank you!! Meanwhile they complain about their gout and GERD!

I am going to transition into carnivore diet. I have spent most of my life struggling with weight loss. Many times my weight has roller coastered up and down about 100 pounds. I am known as the fat person in the family and at work. They don't see me or my accomplishments or my hard work ethic moral values and intelligence, they just write me off as the fat person in the room. My toxic mother was the main source of this treatment ever since I was in elementary school and continuing through my entire life. My older sister was always a size 6, so she was always "better" than me and deserved more because of her size. Once my sister had enough clothes to wear for school, we would stop shopping. I had to dig for clothes at a rummage sale. I remember wearing the same dress 2-3 times a week in fifth grade because nothing else fit.
According to my mother, I was supposed to be lucky for what I can get out of life, even a bad marriage. I remember my husband saying to me that he would stay with me as long as I didn't get any fatter. I am divorced now. My father always thought that only an extremely overweight man of any kind would be the perfect match for me.
So I hope this finally works and I feel better. Overweight people are discriminationed against. Hopefully stoping all the toxic foods will finally put me on the right path. I love what you CAN eat on this diet.
I hope this carnivore diet works for you. Though Ive never had a weight problem, I grew up as an undersized kid, a year younger than most of my classmates; I know what it's like to be taunted for something beyond your control.
You can do this! Do it for you!! You deserve so much better than what life has handed you. Keep making your positive steps.🙏🏼💗
@@JoAnne-x1t by the way. I know plenty of people who are assertive and they respect themselves for who they are hence people love look their fatness.
I am on my third week of carnivore. I was scared because this was so contradictory to all that we have been told about nutrition, and my perceived inability to have self-control. In the short time I’ve been doing this, I have come to realize that it is the foods (supposed healthy) themselves that have kept me in this state. I have no cravings, I thought I’d miss bread and rice, I thought this was just another unsustainable fad that I would fail at on my first week. I am seeing so many changes in my body that give me so much hope for my health and self-esteem. I cannot wait to see where I will be in a year from now.
I thought I might have a heart attack eating so much red meat. Lol. It's been almost 4 years and I'm healthier than ever.
@@js1642 fantastic!! You are living proof that the carnivore way of eating is healthy.Meat contains all the nutrients that our bodies need
Are you still on carnivore today? If so, we’d love an update. Thanks!
Yes, still on carnivore. Doubt I will ever not be carnivore. I have had some setbacks (let's be honest... I fell off the wagon), for which I am grateful, as it immediately manifested in my wellbeing. Most noticeably I become fluffy, and my knee pain comes back with a vengeance. This has all to do with inflammation, and I am not a fan.
@NAllen-hr2fx "Fluffy" is a good description, "Puffy" is another. I've been strict carnivore 30 days (meat based for several years now) and carb creep kept happening. My arms are no longer painful when I poke them. ❤ 30 days!

Could u tell me how much meat etc you eat on a daily basis, please
I just turned 77
Do you eat cheese? I'm going to give up carbs and sugar right now and that is a big challenge for me. Mainly the carbs like salty chips etc. I like chicken, fish, red meat, eggs, bacon, butter etc. too. I like everything so I need to work on this to lose weight. I started gaining weight years ago when I started having low fat snacks lol. Like low fat cookies and chips. But then I reduced diet sodas for sugary sodas, big mistake but feel the best when I just have coffee, tea, water, sometimes fruit or vegetable juice or smoothies. But when I just eat meat, eggs etc. I don't get as hungry. I guess the carbs and sugar triggers the appetite.
Do you get bored with these few choices?

Like Dr Wiedeman, I am an Optometrist. I started Keto 4 years ago and eventually carnivore. I started at age 62 because I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic with and HbA1c of 9.9.
Rather than start meds for T2D I radically changed my diet, lost 82 lbs, came off ALL meds (Ace inhibitor, Beta blocker, statin) and was able to give up my CPAP for sleep apnea.
After 4 months my HbA1c was down to 4.9 and I NEVER had to take meds for my T2D.
My only regret is that I didn’t discover this lifestyle at 32 rather than 62. I am 66 now and feel better and sleep better than I had for decades!

Way to go!
Yes, the Keto diet makes a lot more sense than strictly Carnivore. God put those plants on this Earth for man to consume. A well balanced diet along with meat can give you all the vitamins and minerals you need to stay healthy. Historically, before the 1970's, people were generally not overweight. It wasn't until all the man-made chemicals, artificial ingredients, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other garbage was added to our food and beverages and to our plants and animals, did we start having the illnesses and obesity we see now!

I'm From Colombia, and I'm 42 years old, I was 28 when I started doing a crazy diet, including Broccoli, Oatmeal, Pine apples mostly Veggies, seeds, and grains, I caused myself chronic Gout (Hyper Uricemia) I've been struggling since then with constant pain, changes of mood, no motivation for no reason, sleep disorder, skin rash, ezema... I was on 7 different medicines, for pain, Gout control and digestive problems... I've been in this journey of health improvement, trying different stuff, since I started 2 weeks ago I've been noticing improvement in my skin and reduced inflammation. I will continue this journey of self-healing, cause my dream since I was 25 it was to race a marathon, and I will succeed.
I started keto just 3 weeks ago. My aim is to get to carnivore. The changes I’ve seen in this short time are nothing short of miraculous. I had crippling arthritis in my hips. But now there’s no pain whatsoever and I walk on my own now - no cane, no limping!! My thumbs were also arthritic & extremely painful. I got cortisone shots, physical therapy and they helped - for a short time. But now the pain is reduced by 95%. I can open jars again. My gut pain has improved & I’ve lost weight although I didn’t need to lose much. My life is so much better now. Im never going back to carbs.
I have had friends and family tell me I'm harming my body by eating carnivore. I tell them what I've been experiencing and they think I'm lying. I know my body and what's happening so i guess now i have become a lier. If someone asks why i have lost weight i will tell them but the response is always "that isn't healthy" my real friends support this and a couple friends are going to pursue this. Thanks for how thorough you are as well as your guests. The thing that was the selling point for me is your communication skills and sincerity in helping.
You're so right about the sugar addiction. It's no joke and something I have struggled with my whole life. Ugh.
Incredible! My husband and I started carnivore bc of you. It's only been 7 days and both feel so much better AND this actually attacks belly fat. That's a first!!!
What do you eat?
I am 75 and have been keto/carnivore since receiving a diagnosis of Fatty Liver with NASH and fibrosis in 2019. I live in a household with three other people between 30 and 35 who aren't willing to address their dietary problems. I'm the healthiest person in the house. Go figure.
Hahaha 😂 that's awesome. Way to go 👍
Good job👍🏻 Hang in there! I’m 74 living with people that are so carb addicted. And, yes, I’m the healthiest one in the crowd.
@@chrisgardhouse9321 I'm hoping to say that too one day. I just started yesterday on a very low carb Keto diet & I plan on graduating that to at least a no carb Keto which I think will be very close to the Carnivore diet. I'm 50yrs old, & have been a type II diabetic since December 2003, I now I severe peripheral neuropathy in both feet, my mother is the same & she's 73 but she refuses to change her diet. At least for now, maybe if she sees the results in me it will spur her to do the same, I hope cuz she already lost one lower leg & foot in 2020!
Most people are not willing to address their health issues which are usually caused by the modern carb-laden diet.
@@ondreacounts2556 If you keep your carbs very low (less than 20 grams/day) you should be able to resolve your T2 eating animal sourced food only. I did keto at first and then I got kind of lazy and decided to stop eating veggies because it's just simpler. Eight months in and I have no problems You can do this! Best of luck to you.
I’m a 68 year old woman. I’m a carnivore. I have no more sugar cravings, eat a steak or other beef once a day and that’s all I eat. I occasionally add a piece of grilled chicken or sugar free bacon but that’s pretty much it. I fast for 24 hours most days and feel no hunger until that 24 hour span is over. Love this! I feel better, I’m motivated to walk and exercise and get so much more done. Weight comes off easily too. Only been doing this a few months but I’ll never go off this way of eating. No cravings is the best part. I was a sugar addict for most of my life! It’s so easy to feel good eating this way! And I love raw steak with salt. I always did!!
I’m 67 years old from South Carolina. I have several medical problems but have been on the Carnivore diet for almost 2 weeks. I feel much better and have also lost 7lbs. I’m watching this because having dry eyes is one of my many problems. Thank you for sharing this life saving knowledge.🥰
That’s fantastic Gloria, I’m 76 and about to try carnivore. I know it’s going to be hard, but I’m ready to give it ago. I have really enjoyed this video, it makes so much sense. 😉
I am 39 and have dealt with hemmeroids since the age of 10 or so. Last 8 years they have been non-stop constant golf ball sized lump on my bung hole that would bleed. After years of a mostly veg diet and the only time they would subside is if I fasted for a week or more at a time. Im 3 weeks in on carnivore/keto and the roids are finally shrinking and bowel movement are complete. Thank you for all the info!
I was so excited to read this, as I have the same problem!
Me too. And they bleed. I'm going on this diet
Thank you for all the info
Exactly. Mine were on the inside. At 9 months carnivore my elimination was 5-12 days between and that month was when they healed. I went off carnivore, and they have not returned in the last 3 years.
However, half of the 80 pounds I lost on carnivore have returned and I had not lost the final 25 pounds to goal, so.... I'm too old to be this heavy with no strength in my legs to maneuver stairs with ease, without fear of falling.
Laundry is in basement where I want it to be, as it has an overflow drain in the floor.
Today, I return to carnivore.
❤❤❤
I recently retired after 40 years as an O.D., and even though I've only eaten the PHD for 3 years, I appreciate the pushback from patients, colleagues and our optical coworkers and management. I love how you walk the beach to get sunlight into your eyes, when we were taught that it causes cataracts. I am also a big fan of Dr. Knobbe. Much to my despair, my mother lost her eyesight from macular degeneration before I discovered this truth. I really admire you going against the standard of care and being accused of malpractice to help your patients, as we entered this profession to do in the first place! Thank you for speaking out!
Thanks for your comments, I can really relate. I am 64 and have never worn glasses, having great eye sight. During eclipses I always looked directly into them when everyone said it would damage my eyes. I never wear sun glasses either. I work in the medical field as an RT and am the only guy my age who does not wear glasses even for small numbers on medical equipment. I do a lot of computer work, as well and never have any problems. I get my eyes checked about every 30 years and have not been to a doctor in 40 years. I concentrate on what I can do to stay healthy and totally stay out of the field I work in. Carnivore is what I do. Thanks for speaking out on your experience and have a great retirement!
Wow maybe is because science government 🤔 knows that if we look at the eclipse we would fly....🎉
I'm here because I have diverticulitis. I was vegan five years ago for three years. I had bloody stools. I knew that's when the disease started. I'm now nine days into carnivore and already feeling amazing!!!! This video is wonderful and I will be sharing;! Same here Dr!! I was so addicted to fruit! I could eat a whole watermelon and not the small ones!!
I cured my diverticulitis with carnivore!!!!
Are you still carnivore ?
@@Chris-kr7gg hi Chris, yes!! Lost more weight and feel wonderful!! I'll be four months carnivore on January 19th!
@dreamofmermaids
Wow, that's awesome! All the best on your journey.
@@Chris-kr7gg thank you so much 🙏
63 year old woman... Carnivore [ I feel my best when I eat beef, bacon, butter, and eggs]. I'm officially off my blood pressure medicine and my blood sugars and blood pressures are running completely normal. IBS is improving. I've lost 16 lb since January 1st 2023. I'm waking up with energy in the morning that I haven't felt since I was a teenager. When I have deviated from the diet I have paid a high price physically. High motivation to stay true! Thank you so much for all the wonderful wonderful information you and the others of the Carnivore Community bring to us. You are saving lives!
I still remember when I stayed at my aunts house where they barely eat vegetables and I felt so good. No bloating or acid reflux at all then I thought it might be the vegetables that are hurting me. So I am glad that I found this channel and I can learn more. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I started because of severe depression. That lifted on day 3, today day 6 I have dropped 9lbs.
If you don’t mind me asking how severe was your depression?
I’m getting into this way of eating because of mental health too
I just started carnivore on Monday of this week. Already feeling less bloated and more energetic. I’m watching from Ooltewah Tennessee. Thanks for enlightening me.
This is some good stuff! I haven't seen a doc in over 10 years. I've taken my health into my own hands. And at 64 years I've decided to give the conivor diet a try. My first day was amazing! I ate my first meal at 9:30a and didn't get hungry until 7p. Even then, I could have skipped dinner. I'm looking forward to seeing when my joints and eye health improve. Thanks, Doctors!!
Thank you...I'm a 73 year old and I was just planning to go more vegan by reducing my meat intake...but now I've been enlightened...Thank you!
Fascinating
you’d better go Vegan 🌱… or at least go listen to a few similar videos in the Vegan world … Such as Dr John Mc Dougall, Dr Neal Barnard , Dr Kim Williams, Dr Michael Greger , Dr Mickael Klapper … and so many more
@@soundstormdubai these are the people we have been listening to for decades, all the time getting fatter and sicker.
These vegans im referring to
I was vegan and my health was severely damaged, now using a carnivore WOL and thriving. 63 year old.
Eating carnivore for 11 months now. Got rid of IBS, lost 2 clothes sizes. My blood test has drastically improved! My blood pressure down and my energy is much better! My most valuable change is my mental health. I was depressed and down a lot but now I am excited about the things I used to do but gave up.
Well done ☺️
I struggling with my mental health aswell.
I'm going to try carnivore
What worrys me is the little variety
That’s so impressive, thanks for sharing. It makes you stop and think. 💡
@@sellbydate Give it a try; you might be surprised.
I am saving the rice and flour and pasta just in case of scarcity of food later, who knows. It will not spoil or rot. Yup it is for famine situation.
Add bay leaves to each of those to prevent bugs.
Very good point. Those foods are only beneficial if food becomes scarce. I’m carnivore, but if store shelves became bare, carbs could benefit us in storing a bit of fat to prolong periods of starvation. So although I’m carnivore, I also have a long term storage pantry.
That’s what I do too. I also keep a few weeks worth of tinned meats in the pantry. The grains will be a last resort food.
@camwhitman5425 I have beans & rice for famine. I also have canned tallow and ghee which will be my main energy source if needed, the rice is for my OH who is still vegetarian but will fish for extra protein (we live on the coast).
I live in Pennsylvania. I am 78 years old and have a lipid disease. When I started treatment for the disease which is an enzyme replacement, I gained 35 lbs in 6 months and have carried that weight for 25 years. I could never lose it. Since watching you and follwing this diet for 3 months, I have lost 13 lbs. and I feel for the first time that I will get to what would be a healthy weight for me.
Great Bunny T!
👍
Hi fellow Pennsylvanian! Where are you located?
I started keto about 5 years ago. After years of trying so many diets. Low fat, salads, 6 mini meals a day, weight watchers, you name it, I tried it. But with keto I dropped 45 pounds without starving myself, was able to stop my high blood pressure meds, no more swollen legs, improved skin etc. I am mostly carnivore now. I say mostly because I still fall off the wagon from time to time. Not easy living with a baker in the house who also likes to make homemade pizza, fries, breads, etc 🤨. But I'm trying with renewed vigor to not be tempted and lazy really. I say lazy because I know if I'd just make myself a proper meal that temptation disappears. At 61, and inspite of the things going on in the world I intend to be fit, healthy and joyful. Great discussion, thank you ❤️. Liked and shared
I have stage 3 of CKD. My doctor's, dieticians and nutritionists told me to stay not eat more than 40gms of protein. After listening to your carnivore story I did it for 2 months. The results were phenomenal! I cured my Iron & B12 deficiencies, Anemia and raised my GFR 2 points. Thank you so much for helping me and so many others. I tell everyone about you.
What is CKD?
@@curiouscat3384 Chronic kidney disease
Wow! Wonderful! Thanks for sharing
This is great because most medical practitioners recommend plant based for CKD. It’s great to hear that carnivore works better for our
Plppqq look oooooo
Fantastic! I am a 65 year old artist, and having painted thousands of pictures, sketches and more, my eyesight has deteriorated badly in the last 20 years. I am now 100% convinced to go carnivore! Not tomorrow, not in the future, but NOW!
THANK YOU both for this excellent, inspiring, illuminating video.🙏☺
So did you make the switch?
@@Alloy-p3u Yes, I am now about 90% carnivore, just unable to give up caffeine and chocolate, but that will happen before too long!
@@andrewforrest108 Well done! Hope you're feeling better now. Chocolate is not the health food they claim it is, it's harmful esp if you have a autoimmune condition
@@Alloy-p3u Thank you, and yes, chocolate is exactly as you say, and I am committing to a 30 day carnivore challenge next month, which should crack it:)
@@andrewforrest108awesome! Are you part of the sbgang for the challenge? Fellow artist here, looking forward to my first 30 day challenge, too. Best of luck to you!!!
This video is excellent. I am 60 years of age and in great health, but was recently diagnosed with macular degeneration. I was advised to eat those greens. What finally pushed me forward to try the carnefore diet, was a book I read some 10 years ago by weston price. (Nutrition and Degeneration) I'm sorry that I didn't accept the wisdom then, but I do now. Keep spreading the good word.
Ocular Melenoma, Proton Radiation, a year of anti-inflamitory eyeball injections, Keto/carnivore, eye doc couldn't believe how well and how fast I recovered, saw me lose 50lbs from my first visit. He's very curious and, I think, believes my PHD had a direct effect on my recovery.. Cancer free!!
Wow! Wonderful!
I can relate to being a sugar/carb addict. I have been eating carnivore (more or less) since the middle of 2020 and lost sixty pounds in the following six months. I now feel that I have never been in better health and I am in my seventies!
Columbus Ohio, carnivore since October 2023, 73 years old, my life is so much better ❤️
Carnivore changed my life. Started 3 yrs ago and I’m now 71. I stopping telling people because of the hateful comments I get. Severe propaganda from Big Food has ruined people’s lives but many just won’t listen to another opinion.
I live in Kazakhstan! I'm 28 y.o. I've been carnivore for 7 weeks only + 3 hours per week resistance training + OMAD and then switched to 48 hours fast . I've lost 8 kg. I was severe sugar/chocolate addict, based on my glucose and insuline results prior to the diet I'm sure I was at least insuline resistant. Cravings gone, bloating gone, most acne gone (but still have issues, probably because of dairy, so i'm trying to quit it now). Thank you Dr Berry for all your work ❤
Hi countryman, I'm from Kazakhstan too. What is your preferred meat? Horse meat or beef?
@@be13v, hi, beef, lamb, horse meat, fish
Acne is caused by dairy, it will clear up 100% on a NO dairy diet
Love that you are 28, you have your entire life to live a very good healthy life. You live in a very beautiful place.
I am two months in and loving the deep nourishment I feel. I am a 58 yr old woman and was not interested in living with joint inflammation for the rest of my life.
Amazing life change, no more gastric issues, weight loss but was not my focus, energy level increased, no hunger cravings & so much more. Austin Texas
From Bristol, VA. Started this way of eating on January 3, 2023. Lyme’s disease has been killing me slowly. I can already feel the difference.
Hi Nancy, are you still on Carnivore? Is it helping you? Thanks
I had Lyme for 6 years...my diet was horrible as I ate quite a few bagels. My doctor was a functional health doctor and we did oxygen treatments with my blood and it helped to get rid of my Lyme's disease back in 1996. He also told me that stress was what would keep me from healing. He was so right. I am fine now. but am going to start eating meat again after hearing this podcast.
Hi, I'm in Marshall, VA. Nice to know there's another carnivore within 6 hours from me. 😄
watching this again because it's so good. 66 yrs and keto-carnivore for 5 years, feeling great.
We need a heap more doctors like her (and Ken) in the world - because the ones I see when I go to the Dr'd are NOTHING like them.
I’m 75. On fat keto - which means mostly meat. Highest weight 289. 136 this morning. Lost a lot of weight and muscle when calorie counting.
Now experiencing autophagy like crazy. More like a miracle, actually.
Thanks for the video!
I have estrogen dominance, uterine hyperplasia, chronic dry eyes amongst other symptoms. I have been clean keto for months (no diary, wheat or nuts) and I feel great! I quit drinking alcohol 3 weeks ago for health and spiritual growth reasons. Started carnivore 6 days ago. I am looking forward to seeing how my health and overall well-being transforms! Doing carnivore for 30 days and plan on doing more of a keto-vore after. But more carnivore “heavy.” Gradually adding some veggies to see how I feel. Anyhow, as I ramble I am just full of gratitude for the health care professionals coming forward and promoting diet as medicine! Yah bless you all! You’re fighting the darkness! ❤
How are you doing in your good journey
Rachel Curtis watching from Chipley, Florida. My husband and I have been on this diet for three weeks and already have seen nothing but positive results. Love the way I’m feeling. My husband is 78 and I am 72.
Nice I'm 2 weeks in and almost 25 pounds down
Greetings from Poland from 73yo. healthy eggs and bacon eater. A few months ago I changed to Keto diet, this fixed all my health problems and now I also added (weekends breakfast only) things I love to eat like croissants with cheese and avocado or French baguette with ham and tomatoes and my body does not show any signs of protest. Thank you doctor Berry.😁
I did the Keto Diet for 5 years. I came upon this Carnivore way to live. Using Keto I lost 68 pounds and no longer have High Blood Pressure and the only pill I use is a vitamin.I started the Carnivore Diet 7 days ago and I am very glad as I feel great. I am 82 years young and I live in the best small city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Just curious, when u were doing keto did you cut out cane sugar? & gluten?, Or just minimize intake?
I started the carnivore diet 3 months ago. I eat pork brain every day. About 40 grams, and pork liver, about 100 grams. And of course beef, fairly fatty beef, about 500 grams and 2 eggs. I do this as an intermittent fasting every 24 hours. I lost 12 kg in the first 4 weeks and an additional 8 kg in the next 2 months. Now I have reached my ideal weight. The health examination showed very good improvements: For the first time in 30 years, my liver values are in the normal range. My LDL cholesterol even went down! - and the HDL has risen, in total I have a cholesterol value of 189 instead of 220 a year ago. My triglycerides have dropped by 80%. My doctor can't explain all this. Neither do I. The reason I started the diet is because of my rheumatoid arthritis. The rheumatism values are all in the normal range! My joint pain is gone after 2 months. It's completely insane - I can hardly believe it myself. Above all: How can it be that my blood lipids have decreased so much, even though I eat pork brain and 2 eggs every day?
Alois Posch - What did the pork and beef eat?
You’re such a great testimony
I am trying to get meat fed grass and grown cage free, but to find in the market, what do you recommend, need your suggestion, thanks
@@blancagomez3721 - Wild aardvarks are great! But you must eat their bloody fresh interiors first, like all real carnivore animals do... They don't cook anything, that doesn't do them any good... Remember, raw interiors first...
@@pit2ryan3 right? Pigs are disgusting animals, in terms of their diet. They are garbage disposals, just like certain other animals. That's why God put them in the "unclean" category in terms of meat. They eat garbage and feces. 🤢
I started eating solely Carnivore 5 days ago. I am 54 and still look young however 5 days ago Dr says I might possibly have the start to Parkinson's. Had a cat Scan and they found a mass in my head on my pituitary gland. I also was diagnosed with Lupus 25 years ago. I know food has huge affect on our health. I had for 25 years eliminated fat from my diet so I figured I am going do this as the last week with the Dr's I figured I was not going to just let this all happen to me. I am one that believe food can heal. Will keep you posted
Best of luck on your path!
Good luck I hope this helps you.
I hope you'll be ok 💗
Good luck. God bless
You’ll have to update us on this post. I can hardly wait!
Carnivore --age 61--went on this way of eating to see if it would help with allergies/asthma---
Got so much improvement in so many areas --going on 9 months and loving it---weight loss but so healthy got my waistline back and away with the bulges lost 15 pounds in 3 to 4 months-
Never hungry and enjoying every meal-sleep / no pains in body/ no prescription use for asthma or allergies/ love my energy// super healthy nails/and so much more --Husband went carnivore in 2 months he was off insulin off 2 prescription drugs for diabetes-in8 months went from 236 to 185 in weight and looks so healthy-…..Praise God
Exciting! Can you tell me how much meat per day? Cooked? One meal etc. I am prediabetic and want this change.
I use to live 2 miles away from Dr Wiedemans office (10 years ago). Now I live near Raleigh,NC. I started Carnovore about 3months ago. Love it. I don’t live alone. Would be easier if I did. But it’s getting easier. ❤
On Oct of 2022 I had developed a hole in my retina, non diabetic. I’ve been keto for years. But had just started carnivore in Oct on that year. I started seeing a retina doc for my attached retina in July and when it separated it left a hole. While on carnivore, and using the eye drops as ordered, and Christian women praying for me, within 3 months the doctor said he only sees 1:4 heal like this. I will not need surgery as the hole is filling in. Now my vision is not perfect yet but it’s so much better.
Jesus heals until now..
He loves you.
God bless you.
Amazing and Miraculous
I started Carnivore diet 2 weeks ago and I already see and feel an amazing change. My skin is very smooth and lost weight 😊 before I’ve been on Ketogenic diet for years but I just kept getting sick and not feeling good plus my weight gained and I had crazy cravings .. now I have non and I eat twice ❤️ Thank you Dr Berry you are my biggest inspiration ❤
I have been eating a carnivore diet for 30 days. I haven't had this much energy for 30 years! I am 63 and feel so healthy. I am going to continue this eating for my healing.
How are you doing now? Still good
@danajacobs9097 I am doing well. The healing is progressing. I had a set back this summer after vacation to a foreign country where I had very little control of what I could eat. I now am doing well again. Carnivore for 4 months, 20 pound weight loss, many inches lost! It has worked for me.
@@donnaclancy3731 that's awesome. Thank you for your reply back. I'm also gonna try this. Well I did today for the first time. I have an eating disorder for over twenty years. I was 123 pounds two years ago and put weight on without eating. I knew something wasn't right. Long story short. I just had an operation to take out a tumor that was 16x12cm and of course two tubes cut and my right ovary. By the grace of God thank God it wasn't the c word. Having what happened to me really opened my eyes to life and putting my eating disorder aside. When I had that tumor I was so scared I was gonna die and I really don't wanna die. I was literally killing myself slowly being an anorexic bulimic. I'm five ten and I was just so frail and weak. So I believe God opened my eyes and don't wanna disrespect the body he gave me anymore. I was so hooked on being so thin that it really almost took me out. I'm grateful more than grateful. I just wanna be healthy so I can see my granddaughters get older and hopefully be around for theirs if they choose to have any. I want to live a healthy life. When I asked the doctors how and why I got that thing . They said it just happens. Not an answer I want to hear from a man whom is supposed to be more educated than me..again thank you and God bless
Donnaclancy3731 I started carnivore 5 days ago. Im almost 66 years old. I’m in a stage of feeling low energy. Is that normal, if so about how long will it last?
@conniedavidson9026 Are you eating enough would be my first question? I had to eat 3 to 4 meals a day to get enough food in at the beginning. I don't remember low energy. Keep at it, though. I truly believe you will feel better soon. Keep me posted please.

I have a thyroid issue that doesn’t respond to treatment, even when levels are normal. The most troublesome symptoms are severe sleep disruption, weight gain, and ADHD-like issues (for the first time. ) I started carnivore on May 2 and lost ten pounds almost overnight. Then another 3 pounds. Losing water weight is normal when on a diet, but for me, it means lessening inflammation. That’s what I’m going for. I’m committed to this diet for a minimum of six months but possibly forever. Thank you for educating us so we can stop the madness of eating SAD.
Such a great interview!! I'm 66... What I've noticed after 11 months being a meat eater is that my mood upon awakening in the morning is very different. No alarm for me!! My anxiety is gone... I sleep like a little baby child...
I’m 72 and have been on carnivore for a month. Pain has lessen, lost 9 lbs and many more to go. I love this way of living! It’s easy and enjoyable! I didn’t know how good ribeye tasted I’m hooked!
I have been on the carnivore diet for 3 weeks. I went on it to try to clear my eczema, which is mostly gone. I have also dropped 13 pounds. I have more energy and feel well. I do still have a problem with constipation but am trying to eat more fats. I am 70 years old and have tried everything to stop eczema and to lose weight. Thank you for educating us.
Your intestines may be experiencing the same as ur out skin and might clear up when the inflammation is fully gone
I added a multiple b vitamin to my diet that has made my eczema disappear.
I did it mainly to clear my eczema After the dermatologist somewhat cured it with creams/shower gel. I dropped 20 lbs in 3 weeks but it was helped along with catching the virus a couple days before Halloween. I have the constipation too wow. I just got eczema first time back in October just came with the change in seasons to dry/cold weather. I'm in my 40s, never had it so it was alarming and I went to the doctor after fishing one day thinking something is Terribly wrong! my armpits were so blistered from scratching! I still feel it wanting to surface, but this diet has suppressed it. Eggs every morning since early November. Meat every day (but not enough). I'll still eat roughly less than 20 grams of carbs/sugar. Wish I could cut it out but I need dessert, even if it's 6 grams carbs/sugar.

Had to comment on this one...I was off carbs for 10 years. Felt like i was 18 again. I've strayed a bit the past couple years and feel the difference. Getting back it now.
The comment section is almost as impressive as the video. It is so helpful to see that lots of people have shown recovery of all sorts, just by learning - on their own- what a proper human diet is and how to implement it. People of all ages from all over the world. I applaud you all! (Altho'? I think Dr. Berry forgot to ask how she's surviving her rickets and scurvy.)
😂
The comments are why I’ve become a UA-cam-only social media fan. I learn so much extra under the videos from the other viewers , No matter what the topic. There doesn’t seem to be the infighting that you find on Facebook, just genuine sharing and caring for the most part. At least on the ones I watch.
It's the same under any carnivore videos. It's just a long list of praise under all of them.
@@yukonsusie UA-cam will not tell you if they delete comments. I have seen YT delete my comments where I just wrote: eat more me-at. The woke are pushing things on us and filtering what we see.
@@AlJay0032Dang! True YT not perfect, I had many of my comments deleted On health threads regarding C - 1984 especially last winter, and some home steaders had their channels erased for promoting health and self sufficient lifestyles but I didn’t realize Y T had gone politically correct on m e a t way of eating 🤦🏻♀️
I just started Carvivore yesterday. I really had a tough 5 yesterday and NEED to get well I hope and pray this will help my severe vertigo and blurry vision.
How are you today?
Keep going 🙏
Dr Jen you’ve saved my life!!! I’ve lost almost a 100lbs on Keto Carnivore your Videos have helped me so much! I’m a full time Caregiver and almost 67 this lifestyle change for 4 years now really keeps my aging process for sure
I used to have PCOS that was healed with healthy keto. I only had a period about once a year and a few months into keto I got my period back in a regular monthly cycle. A year later we had our first baby girl who is now 2 months old. 😊 I also did keto during pregnancy. Very thankful for people like Dr Berry who’s videos I watched back when I started.
I just asked this question. I'm wondering if my eating disorder caused my ovary 16x12 cm tumor thank God it wasn't the c but they did take out my right ovary and cut off my two tubes. I was so thin and put weight on and didn't understand why cause I didn't eat to gain weight. June I had a bad pain under my rib for three days went to the hospital and that's when they came back to me saying what I had. I had to get a C-section august 7th 2023. Now I'm trying to lose weight again but I don't wanna go back to my old habits cause I know God spared my life.and what's messed up I didn't even feel that huge thing inside me.

I have pcos but alot if bleeding ... did you ever have hair loss to the touch?
No I did not experience that part.
Do you have any people you follow who do keto especially during pregnancy?
This woman is so relatable for me as a food addict. People don’t get abstinence but that is all that works for me. Thank you so much!
I’m a 66 yr. Old Naturopathic Dr, with almost 40 yrs. In holistic health. I’ve been researching and watching your videos. I am totally inspired to do this! When though I have eaten very healthy for years, I still am insulin resistant with metabolic challenges! Thanks to you both!!
I really had to let people know this, I was doing keto for 4yrs & realised that I was was doing too much veg & not enough protein & fat . I had dark circles under my eyes & looked terrible with out makeup.
I've gone to carnivore & feel so much better. The only thing I couldn't let go of was liquid stevia in my coffee. I started having a misty smoky in my vision. I was worried about my eyes , then I saw a podcast & this gentleman was explaining about how he realised that was something wrong when he said to his son that there must be a bad fire somewhere. His son said there is no fire dad. Now I realise that stevia is doing that to me. I've stopped the stevia only for a few days & that smokey vision has gone.
But more than this, It hits home to me that I'm on the right path for my health .
Thank you doctor Berry for all you do for us x
Try xylitol or coldpressed raw organic honey
Eeeep, my coffee with whipping cream and truvia is the one thing i can't give up. I thought stevia was the best alternative to sugar and sugar alternatives!😭😭 I don't know how I can truly be successful with this carnivore diet. It's taking away EVERYTHING I've grown heavily dependent on for most of my life. 😔 And yes, i do realize the tragic irony in sticking to my SAD diet whilst being miserable the whole damn time and KNOWING what it is that is keeping me enslaved. *Sigh** maybe there's no hope for me-- bad food is just a heavy addiction.
No sweeteners with suffix -ol will ever do you any good. They destroy guts. I'd rather do honey or just cream in my coffee but forget about all sugar alcohols.

@@chernobylshery885 I had read a study on glycine and NAC... glycine is an amino acid, about 1/3 as sweet as sugar... but looks like sugar. it has tons of health benefits... but I still avoided it cos I thought, oh it has a sweet taste, it'll out my blood glucose up. well turns out it has the OPPOSITE effect... and reduces post prandial glucose to 50% of what it would be. I'm doing a trial of it...with NAC
the studies were on marks daily apple, at least the original study GLYNAC supplementation in older adults. it literally reversed aging, then they took it away and switched aging on again, then switched it back off!( the markers were things like glucose, waist circumf, gait, arthritis sympts etc.). also its a collagen precursor, and apparently we are all ( all mammals) definitely deficient in this one of the 3. Mark Sisson did an article re glycine or collagen... I think glycine won out from memory. its cheaper too I think. so I have chronic pain exacerbations from hypermobility, but anecdotally haven't had one in 6 weeks taking glycine and NAC 2-3x a day. also... u can BAKE with it, put in hot drinks, whatever. I wish I'd realised beforehand!
We, hubby and I did Carnivore for a few months and it was great!!! Hubby lost all cravings. Fell off the wagon hard, and hubby has all the cravings back. Trying to get back on but the addiction to carbs and sugar is REAL!! Working back slowly
Thanks for sharing this experience. Same thing happened to me over and over again on KETO. Now that I’m on Carnivore I’ve resolved to “Take the Pledge” never to eat any carbs ever again. NEVER. Being a sugar and dairy addict is absolutely the same as being a heroin or alcohol addict. You can’t go back. Even one “sampling” is enough to reactivate the addiction center in the brain and it grabs you by the throat and punishes you for DARING to climb on the wagon to get away from your addiction. There is only one way to prevent that from happening: ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY - NO CARBS (ESP. SUGARS & DAIRY) EVER. PERIOD. FULL STOP.
Addiction is terrible, same symptoms like heroine addicts. Be tough and start again, love yourself and your health 🙏
Myself and husband have been on keto for nearly 2 yrs now. We have still had salads and veg every day. I'm now very interested in carnivore! I'm 58 my husband is 66. We have improved a lot on keto, but I will be trying to be more carnivore as I feel this will definitely suit me more. Thankyou ❤ we are from UK.
I agree, no carbs, select vegetables and fruits but meat at every meal. I'm a very healthy 77 years old female.
Greetings Dr. Berry and Dr. Wiedeman!! Jim Champion tuned in from the Australia of the USA here on Cotile Lake, Louisiana!! Thank you for your invaluable Service!!
