As a middle age woman, carnivore diet changed my life. I lost 35 pounds and feel fantastic. I didn’t know how bad I felt until I didn’t feel bad.
Out of interest what do you eat? Ruminant? Poultry too? Any fish? Oil? Butter? Salt? Am asking because my immune system sucks and have debilitating long-Covid.
You probably have long vaxx. Don't believing the lies also comes with being a carnivore! Cheers
@@dellwright1407did you get the 💉?
@@allaboutroofing2 yes I did but the real problem has been contracting Covid itself... more specifically what I did to manage recovery that was the issue. A mistake in hindsight.
As is the case with most people. They’ll argue with their head as their body is non changing.
I went on Carnivore 14 months ago. Im 61- I lost 35 lbs, my arthritis and psoriasis are GONE. The brown spots on my hands DISAPPEARED. The callous at the bottom of my foot went away...I no longer need bifocals to read AND my gums stopped bleeding. Amazing! Thanks to Jordan Peterson
@@dianaduran2078 The arthritis took took about 2 weeks. The psoriasis took about 6 months. The callous at the bottom of my foot disappeared within a week..the brown spots on my hands took about 3 month but the ones on my face are still there but slowly fading. The Fungi nails took about 6 weeks to go away...the mental clarity took about 2 weeks. I wished I had known this in my 30s or 40s or 50s! I feel like I've been sick my whole life and I feel the best I ever have at 61!!
So, what do you exactly eat and how often?
lol !
Similar results here and I have only been on the carnivore diet for 5 weeks! I am 57 and my wife and I started noticing results after only 1 week. All aches and pains in my body, joints, back ache, etc. all disappeared during the 2nd week! All stomach issues like bloating, gas, reflux, IBS gone by week 2. I feel younger and can jump out of bed or get up from a chair right away now where before it took me a minute because I was sore. I was not too overweight btw. I am 6'1 and was fluctuating between 190 and 200lbs, but had high BP, cholesterol and problems with my stomach, many foods bothered me, arthritis settling in, etc. so I went carnivore purely for health reasons and get off the BP and Statin meds (of 16 years) which were messing me up with their side effects. Also I had noticed my fasting glucose was 90 or higher when it used to be 75, and my doc told me I was pre-diabetic, plus a chest CT scan showed mild arterial calcification/plaque. Also had a Upper GI which showed advanced gastritis.. I was a mess and had to do something. Now I am down 11lbs to 179 after 5 weeks and feeling better, looking better, and started walking 1.5-2 miles at a fast pace 3x/week and gradually increasing the distance. I could not walk 1 mile at a regular pace before. I plan on lifting some weights too so that the protein has somewhere to go.. My wife lost 12 pounds and feeling better and wants to lose 20-25 more to get to the 120's to see if she might be able to get off the Thyroid meds down the road. I got off the statin (zocor) when I started the carnivore diet and had blood tests 2 weeks after just to have a baseline and compare to blood work I intend to have done in 2-3 months.
@@vtecharrys.6981 Now, million dollar question, what do you eat in the morning and afternoon? How often per day? Do you ever eat fruit, salads?
It’s not difficult to explain. Meat is non inflammatory and is easily digested right at the beginning of the small intestine allowing the rest of the intestine to heal
Exactly my thoughts .
I started to kefir my small intestine while being on the carnivore meat eggs dairy coffee for 3 three months.
IL check back in in about 3 months.
As a physician I heard you speak of the Carnivore and I heard your daughter speak. I researched the subject and decided to try myself a little over two years ago. As I recommend to my patients, what I have seen is that their chronic illnesses fell away as did their need for medicines. Once you realize that the cholesterol -heart hypothesis is garbage. The American Nutritional Guidelines are also wrong and dangerous. Medicine is dictated by Big Pharm. Our food has changed over the last 100 years so much so that I believe this is the cause of most chronic illness, cancers, autoimmune disorders. As humans we did not eat significant amounts of vegetables or fruits or nuts as today’s nutritional gurus would have us believe. Carnivore diet is the ultimate elimination diet while actually ingestion essential nutrients. I am a devoted Carnivore and can argue for this diet with any nay sayer. Whoever is interviewing you doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. He is locked into his indoctrination and how we treat diabetics is insane. Cheers and thank you Dr. Peterson you’ve done the world so much good with your honesty. Cheers, Dr. Ginge
I love coleslaw
Possibly, tho, u possibly think sugar is “inflammatory”
My wife is 5 feet 3 inches 64 years old. She weighed 176 and type 2. Doctor said all you need to do is lose 5, 10, maybe 15 pounds and your type 2 will go away. Wife got down to 112 and still type 2. So she went carnivore and blood sugars completely and constantly in normal range. Doctor didn't talk about changing her diet just said lose weight. What a duck.
Diet is outside of most Doctors' expertise, they only get about 20 hours on it in med school (here in the US). They're more chemists than dietitians.
Indeed.
Nowadays, doctors are mostly trained to make us buy medicine.
It's amazing how many Doctors got there by rote memorization and not a real passion; so they just stick with antiquated information and most are 20 years behind the curve.
Mainstream medical doctors want customers, they don’t know much about diet especially things like carnivore that work.
I have been doing it for almost 4 years myself, in part because of Peterson. The best thing I have ever done. I have a musician friend here in Phoenix named Johnny Miller. I talked him into watching Dr. Ken Berry videos, and he went to keto then carnivore. He went from 320 lbs to 215 where he has been for over a year...I saved a life...
I am very interested in this. Is there mayne an email address i can use to ask some advice.
Bless you for saving a precious life❤
@@sunwm2003 He saved his own life by trusting my advice.
I dont have any health issues but reading all the comments makes me really happy , especially as I breed cattle and a great believer in grassfed beef.
I’ve had chronic migraines and debilitating fatigue
I was almost bed bound and could not work any longer
For the last year I have been doing carnivore
My pain is almost down to zero
Which I had non stop for two years
I am going back to work
❤
Fountain of Life Oneness Jesus Name (beautiful!) : did you eat only meat ? or can you have coffee with milk and do you eat salads, veggies?
@@brittalbach416 I'm on the high fat carnivore journey. For a week I ate three meals a day with added butter 110g a day, a tin of sardines with every meals and fatty steak. I was STUFFED. I believe I have burn out and adrenal fatigue and saturated fats replenish the hormones. My eating has settled down to two meals a day now, although I still try to eat breakfast on stress days and I'm also lifting heavy and slow at the gym to bring stress levels down. Somedays I know I'm in ketosis because I'm buzzing with energy from head to toe, yet I'm calm and alert, the world is a brighter place and I'm at peace inside. Best feeling every! I didn't fully realise how sick I have been. Yet I went to the doctor for burn out and she told me to stop eating red meat. I have done the opposite. My issue now is to become consistent and not compromise my health and well being for fear of offending others. I add mct oil and coconut oil to coffee or sometimes I add butter instead. At work if there's only milk I'll add my mct oil to that and try to stick to just one cup of milk coffee. It seems okay for me right now, but as I continue I will need a carnivore doctor's help in the future and I may have to stop drinking coffee. The general advice is to have black coffee but add butter.
@@kcc879 thank you very muh, Kathy, for all this information. So you did not go on the carnivore diet for weight loss ? Very interesting what you say about hormone replenishing and burnout. And that you felt a lot better psychologically too.
I am interested especially because I cannot lose weight. I always switch around between keto and vegan because meat makes you gain weight and vegans are so skinny but I never get full on vegan diets.
However when I have tried to eat proteins and no carbs I always fall off the wagon (I love meat) and then I eat carbs and get fatter than before.
Ethically I always feel bad eating animals but I cannot live without meat completely. I did notice that one has more energy without the sugar and carbs but to eat only meat when you live with others who cook and serve good food is very hard.
Thank you again, maybe I will try carnivore like you do too
Same here! The migraines and headaches were gone after 1 week (!) and also all aches & pains in my body! Also no gas, reflux, no bloating, etc. All gone by the end of week 2 and brain fog has diminished greatly. I went carnivore 5 weeks ago for purely health reasons, but I don't mind the weight loss. I was 6'1 190 to 195 lbs and could lose a few but it was not my main concern, but rather my high BP, high triglycerides, low HDL, joint pain/arthritis, stomach issues and rising fasting glucose. Now I a down to 179, and most people can afford to lose a few pounds anyway. My wife and I have more energy and feel younger too. We both lost 11 pounds after 4 weeks and now we are down 12-13 in the 5th week. We are rarely hungry now and have no cravings. We eat 2 meals/day: 3-4 eggs with bacon or sausage in the morning around 9-10am and then steak, burgers with hard cheese (usually grated parmesan), or fish at 5-6pm after work (we both work from home). Occasionally we 'll have pork chops or chicken legs, but beef is the most nutritious and best to repair your body of any ailments and get your immune system back into shape, according to all the doctors here on YT that are eating and promoting the carnivore diet to fix your health issues. We do take vitamin C supplements and may start taking Folate which is another vitamin some carnivore doctors recommend, as that is hard to get the RDA from just meats, fish or eggs.
Thanks to folks like Jordan and his daughter I finally tried out Carnivore. Almost 4 months in and I've lost 47 pounds so far. This is life changing.
Any other benefits besides weight loss?
What is the daily or weekly cost of your food?
@@elizabethtencer7950 Started carnivore 5 weeks ago with my wife. We pay less than before for groceries when we were eating all the processed crap, like chips/cookies/crackers, ice cream, bread, pasta, and cake. It is so good now to just walk into the store and buy meat/fish, butter, bacon and eggs, and we buy the slightly more expensive grass-fed beef (steaks & ground beef) and pastured eggs. We are in and out in 15 min. Meal planning and shopping is so much simpler now. We figured out we spend about $175/wk now, $200 max, for the 2 of us, when before we spent $250-275/wk with all the junk food, and well over $300 when we ate out. We still ate out twice in 5 weeks because friends invited us due to special occasions (father's day,, etc) and we just order seafood. Salmon or seafood combo which comes with enough different fish is usually best to order and most filling, or a big steak when eating out.
@elizabethtencer7950 The cost is lower than a typical diet, the reason for this is you only need to eat once maybe twice per day.
I wondrr the cost of all this meat. For all these people. In the environment.
My husband and I started a carnivore diet in February 2023 we are 64 and my husband has had a lung transplant and because of all the medication he has to take he had become a diabetic. So just two days into the carnivore diet he was able to stop injecting his insulin and we both lost a stone in a week amazing results so we are staying with it ,as also our energy levels have increased and muscle definition has improved we are thrilled ❤
Why is Attia the interviewer? that guy is a charleten and doesnt know jack
@@ppietrukaniec2 I was thinking the same thing! Jordan Peterson can give a great interview no matter who is conducting the interview so thankfully Atia is completely irrelevant in this.
Check out “30 days raw”.
@@AdamS789 I didn’t realize. What makes him so bad?
@@mythicsin3083 No thanks. I value my mental health.
I'm 75 and carnivore for going 4 years. I've got the body I had when I was in high school and army basic training at 20. I will never eat carbohydrates or plants again. All of my health issues are gone and I feel like I'm 35 again.😅😅😅
I am 73 and I needed to hear this from someone in their 70's. I have started eating meat but have not fully committed to carnivore. time I knuckled down.
@@BillEarl You definitely won't regret it. Go all in for 2 or 3 months. You can do anything for that long. If it doesn't work for you,stop. You will continue, guaranteed.😅
@@a64750 I haven't eaten fiber for 4 years. No problems whatsoever..
@@petercallinicos 4 years arent so long what about 20-30 years? What about coloncancer? It takes 10years for cancer to be found
@a64750 I view fibre as leaves in the fall clogging up the drains ... never a good thing and water backs up and causes all sorts of problems.
Now relate that to your insides. Clog up your intestines with fibre and then add inflammatory foods to poison you from the inside out.
My N=1 story, to help get the message out there:
During the extreme lockdown here in the Philippines, January 2021 I was obese type 2 with pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. I was suffering from metabolic syndrome. I understood the comorbidity I had as a 58 year old would greatly affect me if I contracted the Rona. I had to lose fat, reverse hypertension, reverse my NAFLD and reduce my HbA1c.
Sitting in my armchair at the beginning of lockdown I saw that the keto/ketovore/carnivore diet claimed it could ‘cure’ my ailments. I watched a bunch of videos and tried to make sense of the linked papers supporting the claims. End result was that it simply made a lot of sense to me.
8 months later, whilst still sitting in my armchair (most of the time). I had lost the 30kg/66lbs of fat that was required to get me down to a ‘normal’ BMI, I GREATLY improved my blood pressure to the point it raised my wife’s eyebrows, she’s a First Responder. My blood sugar was well back in to the ‘normal’ range. I vastly reduced inflammation.
I also reversed IBS that had controlled my life for 40 years (I lost jobs because of it), got rid of decades long debilitating heartburn, my Testosterone went up drastically and I stopped snoring … my wife is happy 🤓 I was ‘foggy’ & forgetful, possible early stage MCI, I sometimes also slurred my words and forgot what I was talking about mid sentence, this has completely reversed! Undiagnosed but recognised by my family I got out of a bad case of lockdown depression.
A few months ago I further decided to cut out most vegetables from my meat heavy Keto WOE, only adding a little onion, garlic, green peppers and tomato for some flavour. Improvements are continuing with a pace with better mental health, blood markers, skin condition etc.
Simply eating nutrient dense meat, HEAVY in animal fat, single ingredient real food is all it took …
Whilst cutting out processed food, sugar/carbohydrates and seed/‘vegetable’ oils.
We THRIVE when eating our evolved, species specific Proper Human Diet with some intermittent fasting to mimic the way our ancestors survived.
I’m sure there are thousands upon thousands of people that have similar N=1 stories to tell … Please tell them … get the message out there!
Have you had your heart looked at though? Sounds like a recipe for heart failure.
My blood markers are constantly improving, my blood pressure is now at a decent level for my age and improving, my resting heart rate is down from 94 to 76, I don’t get out of breath taking a shower anymore, I can now take my dogs on a 45 minute walk twice a day … what makes you think there will be a problem with my heart ?
@@grumpyoldben He’s probably a vegan and is trying to gas light you. Your testimony is absolutely wonderful, and you’re proof of how truly effective and life changing the Carnivore diet is. Thank you for sharing your story.
@@grumpyoldben because people have been lied to effectively and consistently that they now defend ideas that aren’t their own: meat and fat are unhealthy and will hurt your heart and blood numbers. So they must attack anything they challenges their worldview…it’s a safety mechanism of conformist-minds.
@@rockaboatus588 I was/am expecting the cholesterol argument …
I lost 150lb in 18 months on a ketogenic diet . Now im strictly carnivore OMAD ( except coffee) i dont thinki will ever give that up ) i fell fantastic . If i have carbs i immediately start to crave them, same as Dr Peterson. The human body only needs fat and protein.
Agreed
I HAVE to have carbs when tomatoes at Farmer's market are ripe and in season :-0)
A bit of corn on the cob and watermelon too LOL

For me, the Sugar no-go was a biggee BUT I switched to "Pure Sweet" stevia powder (no additives like dextose in some brands) and have not had to wean myself from liking sweet drinks - tea and coffee mainly.
11 months now about 225 to start and approaching 185 now. And that is with LOTS of so-called cheating. Sugar in jaw breakers is likely my biggest cheat, but I only do that on occasion.
@@2Truth4Liberty i hear ya ! Its different for everyone . I have a really addictive personality, always have
I'm like Bruce the shark from finding Nemo if you haven't seen it before I would check it out . Funny reference.
We have to supplement vitamin c
@@2Truth4Liberty It was in the news recently that stevia and monkfruit and other sugar alternatives may cause heart attacks but I am not sure what to make of that
Have been carnivore 39 years and I just do not understand how anyone can settle for less.
agree! I want to be optimal not just surviving and pushing thru! Unacceptable! Yet we're conditioned to think that this is okay. NO, I don't want to be just okay, I want to be alive and living life to the full!
I went Keto , even tested the blood to make sure. My goal was 170, my 30 year old six pack army self. I weighted at 50 186 pounds . About 9 months later I weighted 158, I felt fantastic. Didn’t need naps, the mind was sharp , great recall . Not to mention absolutely Cut. When I went to the gym I felt 19 again . I don’t know why. When people ask me about it I tell them everyone should at least try it once . Then you will understand.
I started keto 3 weeks ago. Ive felt very irritable and agitated. Did you get any bad symptoms at the start and did they go away ?
I've been carnivore for 8 months so far and having the same experience as JP. I'm stronger, fitter, faster and smarter (I think), back to my early 20s levels. I wish I'd started earlier, although I'd been reading about it for some time I was very sceptical. My friends and family clearly think I'm mad, despite seeing my change I can tell they don't believe it. This diet approach could help so many people. Hope it gains greater acceptance into the mainstream.
I think the reason this works is (a) blood sugar and insulin kept at a very low average level which reduces inflammation. (b) All the vitamins minerals and micro nutrition are over 95 % bio available on a meat diet. (b)Hormone levels are optimized because of the fats which in turn optimizes body composition. (c)Protein intake on this diet is at a level that would accommodate an elite athletes requirements. (d)All inflammatory food are de-facto excluded. (e) Evolutionary this was the main source of human nutrition.
Makes one wonder why nutrition scientists love to associate this very same meat with all sorts of health problems. I guess the vegetable oil companies have to keep the business going *somehow*.
In the US, most beef is grain fed, and most of this grain is of the gmo variety. This is an unnatural diet for cows. Also, most of our beef gets an ample dose of hormones. I wonder how this might affect a carnivore diet? Perhaps Canadian beef is more of the free-range type. I'm very particular about the meat I consume for that reason. But inspite of it all, a carnivore diet is probably much less processed (implying less inflammatory) than boxed or canned or pre-prepared food that most people have become accustomed to eat.
@@a64750 watch Board certified practicing medical doctor Dr. Ken Berry and read his book "Lies My Doctor Told Me"
I firmly believe that most folks out there don't realise that meat...especially beef....is incredibly nutritious. I think they'd be shocked to find out just how healthy eating a fatty cut of beef actually is....
Not just inflammation. Insulin is what packs that sugar into the cells in the form of fat.
Attia, as smart as he is, overlooks the fact that beef and other ruminants are high in taurine, choline, glycine, creatine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylcholine, and dietary cholesterol. All of these are well studied and vital for strength, muscle building, immunity, longevity, weight loss, and overall health.
You didn't overlook and I thank you for it.
Isn't taurine destroyed by cooking? That was the whole point of Pottinger's experiment.
@@neilnewinger3059 It depends on how you cook it. If you nuke your food or boil meat, there won’t be much left. If you aren’t afraid of rare or medium rare cooked beef cuts, you’ll still have some.
In Dr. JP’s case, given that he doesn’t obliterate his beef, he’ll be getting adequate taurine - especially with the quantities he’s eating.
I’m a fan of beef tartare, carne cruda, and kitfo, which are raw beef recipes. Supplementing free form taurine on the side is recommended if you eat a mixed diet or boil your meats.
I eat at least 1800 calories per day, only eating meat, butter and salt. I'm losing weight steadily and have lost 45 lbs so far. In addition I've gotten rid of type 2, chronic migraines, common aches and pains of being 50, rebalanced my hormones and eliminated every single symptom of perimenopause after 8 years of hell, my eyesight has improved, energy has improved, sleep has improved, no more IBS, no more anxiety either. I'm 5'0 and 50 years old. 1800 calories on a normal diet would = weight gain. My bloodwork is so good my doctor has started trying out carnivore for himself.
You were vitamin and nutrient deficient. They destroy all the nutrients in our foods by radiating it to stop bacteria growth but it kills the healthy microbes and nutrients. Seed oils are omega 6 and cause inflammation. Oxalates found in spinach and other leafy greens is also toxic but can be balanced if you eat hard cheeses with it. Grass-fed/finished beef is high in K2 and has omega 3 which is anti inflammatory but corn fed loses all that. Chickens that eat grain lose all K2. so the egss are depleted of this. Lack of K2 is what is leading to insulin residence, calcification of the arteries arthritis, osteopenia, osteoporosis, tooth decay, gum disease and a wide range of other problems. They only recently discovered that this vitamin is the most important one you can have but needs to work with vitamin D3 which is also found in meat. So its easy to see the connection as to why carnivore is so successful. You need animal fats, you need that cholesterol for healthy brain function, A,E,D,K2, Omega 3 all found in all natural meat is why everyone is responding so well.
I'm 47 years old and the carnivore diet changed my life. I lost 51 pounds and feel better than I ever have.
84 million cows are killed each year in the USA … sentient beings
@@evegoodmon More sentient beings are killed with a plant diet (calorie by calorie).
I can live off one cow for almost a year. One hectare of an avocado plantation means hundreds if not thousands of dead sentient criters.
Death is unavoidable for nutrition.
@@evegoodmon and I'll try my best to eat each one. :)
@@evegoodmon I only eat the grass-fed cows which is around 4 million each year, so I am watching out for the other 80M cows 😉
I’ve been carnivorish for more than a year and am very pleased with the results. I notice immediately the changes in how I feel when I cheat and add sweets in terms of mild depression, waking up with headaches, more arthritis pain, hip and back pain and being hungry, with stomach unease, much earlier in the morning than when I’m eating carnivore (no stomach unease). My cholesterol numbers have improved, my heart rate has improved and my energy level has increased. I also noticed I read with more clarity and understanding than I did before, more easily and quickly see symbolism and plots in movies and shows than before as well. I am definitely addicted to sweets and am still struggling with my brain on that one but am working on it and won’t give up. Thanks to you and Dr Peterson and the many other medical professionals and practicing carnivores for getting the word out.
I have a chocolate addiction and found the solution was simple. Don't buy any.
The main reason is due to getting K2. That wll cure gum disease tooth decay, arthritis, osteopenia, osteoporosis and wide range of other problems but you need grass fed grass finished. Corn fed you get almost no K2 I take the supplement and its cured so many health problems for me. The reversal of tooth decay and gum disease is amazing and I lost the bad breath.
“All-potato diet”.
Thank you, Dr. Attia, for allowing me to ignore everything you say.
Carnivore changed my life too. Low fat diets made me feel horrible and lethargic. My digestive system was a mess. On the carnivore diet I feel amazing. I started out on keto when I was diagnosed with Type2 diabetes. I went off all meds in 5 months. I still had digestive issues. Once I got off all veggies I was amazed at how fantastic I felt. 2 years later I’m still going strong!
Dr. Ken Berry would be an esxcellent guest to interview. His knowledge on the carnivore and ketovore diet is extensive. He is also very plain spoken which is refreshing.
No lie. My IQ went up 7 points 6 months into the carnivore diet. I had always scored around 138, but for the first time, at the age of 40, I scored 145. I don't think it was just chance, because I have been taking the test annually for 20 years and always scored 137-139 without exception. Truly amazing results.
Seriously? Why do you IQ tests so often? Is it a job requirement or what? Sounds whacky to me.
Thanks for sharing. Please keep taking the IQ test while on carnivore diet and come back to tell us the result next year :)
@@dimitri1946 plain curiousity
“When you have hundreds of anekdotes, you have an hypothesis.” Thank you, I will remember that the next time I need to see my (not so supportive) doctor. I have the same sort of anekdote, being a carnivore for just 5 months now. I will never go back.
Your Dr is not so supportive because eating carnivore will not be very supportive to his job based on drug prescriptions 🥴
Give em a printout list of the various doctors who support Keto and Carnivore as well as another list of some studies to prove its not bad for us and to top it off print out the metastudy that showed all the previous crap that demonized fat was garbage studies. I don't know how invested you are with spreading the word or this doctor of yours but I'd even give a copy of Ken Berry's book among others that highlight how the medical industry is wrong.
We dont have hundrets of anecdotes, we have thousands and thousands of them. You never ever hear from a longterm carnivore that gets some serious disease, it just doesnt happen. Vegans and SAD-dieters however, they absolutely get diseases left and right. Its so damn obvious by now.
Get a new doctor!!
NO you DON'T!!! All you have is a 100 anecdotes! There has NEVER BEEN a Scientific hypothesis EVER that was started with anecdotes!!!! By your way of thinking someone with only 100 bullshit stories has scientific credibility!!!
I developed psoriasis 6 years ago, went into a strict vegan diet for 2 months and after a sauna on a cold night my skin was burnt, the old skin fell entirely in the course of about 2 weeks and there was no trace of psoriasis, I felt amazing.
4 months after complete healing I went back into my old ways of drinking, chain smoking, eating fast foods and other shit, psoriasis came back with a mighty vengeance.
I was being in denial of my condition having heard how it’s incurable, how it will always come back, how the disappearing of the skin condition is anecdotal and how people have to deal with it all their lives long but I just knew deep down inside of me there was a way to cure it, not only because I’ve lived it after suffering for over a year and seeing complete healing for 4 months, but there was always this faith inside of me that I knew if I spent some time researching and discipline myself I would find the way to cure this nightmare of a disease which simply steals the life out of you.
People often think psoriasis is just a skin condition and that it’s only because of a matter of aesthetics that people wish they could get rid of it. It’s true on the social aspect of things, particularly when you hit your 30s but even in your 20s as a male or female adult, but no, it’s not just the outside aspect of it, it literally steals all mental clarity off of you, you feel lethargic all the time, you have insomnias because the inflammation is usually spread out all over your body and your brain (scalp psoriasis), and so besides the sufferer most symptoms cannot be seen, they are only felt, and in 99% of the time simply denied entirely, you begin to think having constant brain fog is the way life works, that for every and anything you gotta do, it being a challenge and an immense effort to put is also the way of life, and it cannot be further from the truth.
When you are healthy life is a just a sweet little ride, you have many desires, you’ve got many needs to make it an ever living joy, but when you are diseased, particularly when you do not know how to heal or are confused as to where it comes from, then life simply resembles a curse, a think you wish could end quickly.
Usually you look back and think “I’ve had many good things before after all”, and so you begin to have the “victim” mentality, where you simply accept the obvious inequity.
Anyways, 5 years later, september 2022, I decided it was enough suffering and that I had to go to war with this thing and make it my goal in life to find the cure, so I went back into a strict vegan diet initially, but the shocker was that after 3 weeks on the diet I just knew something was wrong, the inflammation response to fibers was so painful that I knew right away the previous way I healed through only eating vegetables and grains wasn’t gonna save me this time, so I made my researches and jumped head on into a keto diet, still eating vegetables, salads, carrots, semolina, salmon, broccoli, and lots and lots of sardines and anchovies.
Still, I knew something was wrong, every time I would eat, 5-10 minutes later I would begin to feel intense irritation of the areas where I had psoriatic plaques and drops. I kept going despite the side effects and some areas (armpit and legs) cleared completely without me noticing. One thing I noticed quickly though is that some vegetables would immediately cause me pain so I eliminated broccoli, Brussel sprouts, celeri and spinach, these were the worst and I knew they were not helping at all but on the contrary worsening everything and keeping high levels of inflammation. For 4 months I could barely sleep, I would only find relief in total exhaustion, so I couldn’t keep a normal cycle and the fatigue caused by it just prevents you from exercising or do anything physical.
I followed the ketogenic diet for about 4 months with little improvement like I’m saying, and so having heard about the carnivore diet I decided to give it a try.
Probably the most daunting of all diet, a total shocker to think about only eating beef and nothing else, almost unthinkable, and it took me a few weeks before deciding to jump.
It’s simple : 3 days after only eating ribeye steaks (3 across 72hours literally) everything changed. I felt levels of energy that of which I had not felt but only in my early 20s, felt asleep very easily, little to no sign of inflammation that I usually had after a meal and I was convinced to go through the week to see what happens. To my shocker I just kept getting better day after day and I said to myself this is the way to go, for every time I would eat my steak, I would feel no pain whatsoever, for the first time in decades I could have a normal sleeping cycle and I just knew this was it.
I began cooking with butter and felt a very mild inflammation response at the end of my butt after each meal, just very slightly but still present and after a few weeks I knew this was the issue so I came about eliminating butter from the diet, no inflammation was felt ever since after eating a ribeye steak.
I was craving some eggs so I made myself scrabbled eggs about a month into the diet, 48hours later I woke up with 2 psoriatic drops on my cheek and I knew immediately I developed sensitivity towards eggs as well so I eliminated eggs from the diet as well.
Tried some sardines, no inflammatory response. Tried bonebroth (strictly lamb and beef bones, no herb, no veg into the broth), no inflammatory response.
I’ve been on the carnivore diet only eating ribeye steaks for close to 3 months now with almost no cheating although I ate some chocolate on occasions, but with no real side effect.
Last week, I was craving some fruit, I wanted to try eating fruit after so many months, I wanted some blueberries, it threw me off completely, I had insomnia all week long, I couldn’t sleep, I experienced stomach pains, had diarrhea the whole week and having eaten nothing else but my daily ribeye steak I knew what caused the issue right away.
Since September I have to note I was doing saunas twice a week which felt nice, especially for smoothing plaques, far more efficient than any cream, and today, today as I’m writing this, next week it will be 3 months since I’m into the beef diet, some areas are beginning to clear very rapidly, last week it was still pinky but today my normal skin coloration is taking over and in this particular area (testicules) that’s where the inflammation and irritation had been the most violent and itchy.
I’m clearly seeing signs of remission, I gave myself 3 months initially, then realised it would take a lot longer to heal lesions done on my GI walls.
Oh yes, psoriasis is 100% gastrointestinal related, there is no doubt about any skin issue finding it’s root within the GI tract and that this diet is the healer itself.
I want to note something important. It is that the psoriasis I still have today is not that which resembled the psoriasis I had before healing the first time. The first time the plaques felt as though they were under the skin and not above or on the same level as the skin, this one is like the superior version, so I’m wondering if there are two types of psoriasis actually.
I know many people healed following an alkaline/vegan diet, I was one, but when the psoriasis came back stronger with a vengeance i knew it couldn’t be treated the same way again.
The carnivore diet is no joke, it truly works, no cheating, if you have psoriasis or any other skin condition try it, give it 3 months, and if you see improvements like I do, just keep going to heal fully
@@lavenderface9875 oh man this disease is the worst thing to live with, leading many people to develop cancers or other very complicated issues after developing psoriasis first.
And so if my testimony can help them believe doing the carni diet is not a joke for treating psoriasis and putting it into remission against all the falsehood told by the medical industry, then I win.
If the truth is spread it overtakes everybody and brings peace to the world, but if lies and confusion lingers, it’s only suffering we’re gonna live with.
People need to know the truth, it is time.
I could and probably should have made it lengthier to explain it all with more details, especially on how I do not eat chicken nor pork, not for superstitious reasons but because any type of lectin is harmful to the GI walls, and many chicken have been genetically modified now containing lectins in their flesh (chickens are fed soja and other grains containing harmful toxins to them, and basically we eat sick animals afterwards, no wonder why people develop issues there after) and in the case of pork, it contains a lectin in its flesh since the beginning of time.
All lectins are pro inflammatory, one may not have the sensitivity to feel it, but overtime the toxin accumulates in the body leading to diseases.
Food is the #1 cause of disease 100%, and the same way in reste is peut the food is also the healer itself, and the scientific and medical industries are just keeping the truth for themselves convincing the mass that what they sell is what one needs, they basically live off the suffering of people, even telling people lies that placebo pills or antibiotics lead to healing, it’s falsehood, one will heal through proper nutrition and fasting, when the cells activate themselves into ketosis basically cleaning themselves up.
This normal function of the body comes without consciousness, when one is sick the individual will naturally not crave any food, that’s the body naturally putting itself into ketosis for you, that’s how you heal, but doctors will tell you that they antibiotics will do the trick. What the antibiotic will do is weaken your immune system little by little, and basically the next time you’re gonna have an issue you’re gonna be weaker to fight it naturally.
Along with nightshades like potatoes, bell peppers and these sort of vegs, they contain lectins and are super toxic, by all means you should never have them if you have any type of skin disease, but I don’t believe it is healthy for any healthy individual either…
I believe all skin diseases have the same root of being lesions done to the GI walls that’s for sure, and therefore can be treated and put into remission the same way (Diseases like eczema, dermititis, vitiligo, even Crohns and possibly all names diseases can be treated the same way)
People with psoriasis simply develop a very hardcore sensitivity towards pretty much everything else other than beef, and that one should be extremely watchful about the effect of eating something else, because sometimes an inflammatory response can take days to appear though it usually stands in a 48hour window tops in my experience, that’s why only eating meat is the perfect elimination diet, better than any scientific test done on stools or urine, and you totally get all nutrients in beef (vitamin a, b, even c yes, d and d3 with grass fed, zinc, iron) and one naturally needs water for electrolytes anyways.
It is important that the sufferer does not deny any sign or symptom of inflammation. It is easier said than done when confused and feeling very fatigued, especially after being told lies his whole life believing one needs to eat everything, it’s a lie, but if you keep eating food that just maintain any sort of inflammation the healing may not happen or take longer because of it, that’s why cutting it down to just beef, salt and water is essential.
I’m a testimony for it, I’ve only eaten beef for 3 months, I’m alive and better than ever before, amazing deep sleep, no more brain fog ever, lots of energy, better mood, a sharp mind, and the list of positives just seems endless.
Never was a coffee drinker, and I’ve heard many people not healing on the diet, and I know it’s because they kept the eggs, they keep the bacon and keep the coffee or add other things to the diet, but if you try to heal will applying harmful substances it won’t happen, you gotta clear everything that’s a potential harmful substance, this includes smoking and sugar.
May be hard for the smokers but go ahead and vape my friend, it’s far less harmful than the combustion of fire !
Just keep it beef salt and water it’s very important, and one should not restrict the amount of beef, if you are hungry at anyone point, just make a patty steak or two instead and do not cheat. If it takes you 3 pounds of beef a day to feel satiated then so be it, but don’t restrict the hunger and don’t add anything else.
I believe if you cannot afford a big 2 pound or 800g of ribeye steak a day that ground beef will work the same way, but if you can afford the piece then have it. (Tbh here in France a ribeye steak is like 3hours worth of work per day, about 30€ for a nice 2 pound of grass fed beef)
And because a life is so precious, and when you are threaten, by all means give yourself the best chance to heal by eating the healthiest thing you can afford, it doesn’t matter if you have to cut on the social aspect, “friends” and family will more than likely push you into thorn bushes indulging into drinking and eating other bad stuff for you, just don’t give in, even against medical odds I should say at this point because I listened to doctors in the beginning, I had the creams the first time around but even then, even as a kid I always had a deep sense of doubt towards “doctors”, and my uncle is a cancerologist at the CHU of Bordeaux, now retired but he had Crohn’s disease and was treating cancer patients…. Like, heal yourself first and then you can help others, but stop pretending you are a doctor. Folks have been doctors for decades, and all they did was being salesmen for the pharmaceutical industry never helping others cure, just treating symptoms putting one into an endless cycle of suffering.
I also drink a lot of water, about 2,5L a day, sometimes 3 on sauna days.
Took me time to figure out what was the appropriate time when to eat as well, if i eat my ribeye steak at dinner I won’t be able to sleep, it would put me into a jet lag cycle of sleep where I would feel super sleepy during the day and energized at night and now I actually eat very early morning, just a couple hours after waking up which is around 7 am, sometimes a bit earlier, but one big piece of meat is usually more than enough for me to go through the day and going to bed for sunset around 9pm this time of the year (June). I don’t feel hunger for a full 24hours after my at least 700g of beef.
I try to get myself some nice grison at the butchers for snacking, it’s basically dried beef, super delicious and I’m not getting any inflammatory response but it’s not a habit, if they have some I will get some, if they don’t then I don’t care and on occasions if I feel hungry during the day I will just make myself a patty steak of 15% fat.
If people have more questions I’m willing to answer them no problem.
Thank you for your appreciation
Glad you opened up to trying carnivore.
Dr.Ken Berry has a video concerning different skin problems and his advice is. Carnivore
@@josephcostello1812 when you’re facing a dead end in order to heal yourself, you gotta have faith and try new things. I’m only 32 years old, I’m too young to give up, and like I said I was convinced after the 3rd day that I was heading in the right direction, 3 months later the faith remains.
I hope I can heal completely and get my life back, nothing else matters to me at this point, just being healthy again will be worth all the gold in the world
@fredlada you're be fine. We have faith, we'll be fine
You hit the nail on the head Jordan when you mentioned eating carbohydrates led to cravings to eat more.
All carbs turn to glucose (in other words sugars) after ingestion in the body.
Simply put, the world is addicted to sugars.
Sugars are just as addictive as heroin or nicotine.
This is the cause of the health epidemics virtually everyone faces through their indoctrinated diets from so called health agencies ( think food pyramids here).
Excessive sugar consumption is literally the root cause of all evil as regards human health.
Nothing at all wrong with carbs.
There’s a big distinction between the carbs you get from a sweet potato and the carbs you get from corn syrup and Coke.
There’s no need to change a diet to pure meat. Eat like any other ape and you’ll be fine. In fact it’s beneficial.
The biggest perk of going carnivore is it forces the person to cut out processed foods and sugars. Just do that and continue to eat fruits and vegetables too. They have vitamins & minerals and fibre that meat doesn’t.
@@oggyoggy1299 I mostly disagree. The randle cycle impacts in what you eat also and the bio availability of essential amino acids and nutrients from plant food sources is far less than from animal sources.
There is no difference between any form of carbohydrates regardless of if they are processed or from natural such as fruits or sweet potatoes. It all turns to glucose in your body when digested which impacts insulin, inflammatory and diabetes issues.
I'm not saying don't eat carbs, but they need to be limited. You don't need any carbs to live at all as your bodies energy source for fuel can be easily switched from glucose to fat and your body can produce sufficient glucose for brain fuel itself.
We don't need any exogenous carbohydrates at all to survive.
The randle cycle dictates which fuel your body uses.
@@oggyoggy1299 Agree with you on this. Just going on a meat diet means you cut out so much cr*p in your diet, but is bound to be detrimental long term. I couldn't do the full meat diet, it just reeks of desperation to me to go that far - but then some people are desperate and if it works for them, that's good. Also agree nothing wrong with carbs, you just have to make sure you make use of the energy they give you by exercising plenty, or it gets backed up in the system. People's biggest enemy is combining too much fat and sugar at the same time.
The thing is proteins, when in excess, are also turned into glucose! This is why I chose keto over carnivore, and it's also much more varied. No limits to quantities overall, just don't overdo it with meat and choose a fatty one. Eat as many eggs as you feel!
@@oggyoggy1299the digestive system of a human is much more like that of a dog than that of an ape.
Suspend for a minute your belief in what big food and pharma want you to believe. Please look into some prominent experts on the carnivore way of eating (Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Shawn Baker, many more…)
Being a carnivore for 4 years now., I don't crave for any carbs and junk food, including spices. I have 2 cups of coffee in morning and don't crave for any kind of alcohol . I'm happy most of the time.
Dr. Peterson looked like death 4-5yrs ago, he looks absolutely fantastic now!
Dr. Robert Atkins was way ahead of most everyone else. He was largely critisized because back then, the buzz was all about cholesterol.
Anybody in here arguing, if you haven’t tried the full spectrum or diets being discussed, get on it and report back.
Why people act so surprised that meat is our primary food source and that we can thrive on eating meat exclusively. We have DNA of our ancestors from times when they split from other primates. They couldn’t hunt yet and they couldn’t eat grass either. With help of some sticks they could take meat from other animals or they ate leftovers of killed animals. This period lasted 2-3 million of years and evolutionary adaptation is irreversible. Then came hunting. They had no reason to eat any plants. For over 5 million years humans ate meat. Agriculture started only 15k years ago. We need another 2-3 million years to adapt to eating carbohydrates. Stop acting surprised. Once you understand who we are and where we came from, eating meat only makes perfect sense.
At the beginning of this year I started the carnivore diet mixed with OMD for 21 days(we were doing a fast at my church)and I lost 30lbs in about a month and a half. I was around 205lbs. My lowest weight was 168. For the last three months I’ve been holding steady between 175-180lbs. I eat 2 to 3 times a day and I cheat with some bluebell ice cream all the time.
Besides that I mostly eat ground beef, fatty steaks, eggs, liver, pork ribs, bacon, sausage. Pretty much anything from an animal. Nothing processed.
Amen go that!
Great video - so many good points. I dabbled in low carb for most of 2022 - only reducing sugar and my preferred carbs (bread, pasta. potatoes, rice) - with limited success due to still having cravings. Just before Christmas, I went cold turkey over my two weeks holidays (great time to do as not at work where there was always so many food temptations round the photocopier!), and started losing heaps of weight/totally lost all cravings - as long as I'm satiated with meat/diary/fat. Have now lost about 18kg in 5.5mths. I think I was probably pre-diabetic, always tired in afternoons. My husband loves that I barely snore now, my knee pain from old sports injury is much improved, my skin is much clearer, and I just have so much less brain fog and more energy. I've started dabbling now in carnivore, and loving all the great personal accounts of improved health and Carnivore doctors information on UA-cam. It is just such a shame that so many people are suffering with ill-health because they are following the conventional food pyramid advice.
Peterson, being an Albertan, I thought that meat was the only thing they ever ate. Not a Peterson fan, but on this issue I reluctantly have to agree with him on this issue. It's six weeks for me and my stomach and digestive system feels so, so much better.
I can relate to everything Jordan says, for the last 6 years, I went from low carb to carnivore, I have been carnivore the last almost 2 years. I have prostate cancer, refused standard of care, after doing a lot of research, I Was vegetarian for 30, nigh on 35 years, hardly ever had any meat, maybe some chicken, fish. I was type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, hand fills of tablets morning and afternoon. This last 4 years, I have never been this healthy for 40 or more years, Since carnivore, the energy, and my mind is so good, yes as Jordan says, I can concentrate, that is the most wonderful and best part. I am 75 years old
I'm glad to hear your health has improved. It's so interesting. I'm curious to try the carnivore diet. May I ask, have you gotten a calcium score lately? That simple test will indicate the health of your arteries.
"Refused standard care..." that is where you should stop believing this comment. Complete fabricated bs from a fanboy or a soon to be corpse.
An you break down your diet. I’d be interested in what your weekly food intake is
The changes in my body from the carnivore diet are numerous! I’m so far lost 50 pounds back to my high school weight my head is cleared up my sinuses work now my high blood pressure has normalized my vision has improved to the point of when I read I take my glasses off like my cognitive ability to focus has definitely improved there’s is so many benefits. It’s almost difficult to put them all down on this post and who would’ve thought that all you had to do was eat meat to fix 90% of most health problems that you might have miraculous.
I really like your frank non biased discussion on your journey/experience with the carnivore diet. It's great that you include finer details about your symptoms and talk about it at length, personally I'm definitely committed to trying this diet as it 100% makes sense to me.
There is so many different chemicals in plants that are trying to harm you it's rediculous. It's certainly not common knowledge that's for sure but if your sick with multiple symptoms that can't seem to be diagnosed then it's time to pay close attention....
Carnivore 1 year:
I was diabetic 12 months ago. Now I am not..HbAlc from 6.9 (diabetic) to 5.5 (non diabetic).
My emphysema is *drastically* improved because my C-reactive protein (measure of chronic inflammation) from 200+ to *12*..I used to struggle to walk 100 yards but now I can walk for MILES without getting breathless.
12 months ago I had high blood pressure. Now my BP is the same as a healthy young man (110/70, I'm 62 years old).
In 12 months I've lost 70lb..waist from 44" to 34".
If you haven't tried this way of eating yet, you really are missing out.
Done various diets over the year and most never worked for me let alone made me feel better. Keto was the first diet that actually worked for me and that also made me feel good. I began doing Keto off and on since I learned of it in 2016 but could never stick to it. As of October last year I have begun experimenting with carnivore and found I do better on this than even Keto and unlike Keto have managed to actually stick to it a lot better and more consistently than Keto. So far down 52lbs.
Thanks for sharing!!
Keto and intermittent fasting works for me as well. My psoriasis gone and inflammation that has caused arthritic symptoms in my left hand totally disappeared almost immediately. Lost 30 lbs belly looks like when I was 30 and I'm 64. Sugar industry is big business like tobacco
@@MrBobguitar4 yes the worlds been led astray by sugar pushers
@@MrBobguitar4 sugar properly more dangerous than tobacco.
Thank yoi for telling people your story.
I also have been healed in my body and mind by eliminating sugars grains and most toxic plant and all seed oils or vegetable oils. At 55 i am no longer diabetic am more miscular and lean and my mind works better along with the diet i also do time restricted eating and prolonged fasting.
I only wish that i knew this before the standard american diet delivered a quadruple bypass and diabetes to me
And my kidneys are happy as well
Nice to hear Mick, keep going! I'm also trying to do the same but I still struggle with cravings for grains and sugar.
@@dutyofcall7659 eat more natural fat. Meat fat or butter. Also watch Dr Ken Berry. He addresses that issue.
I have been eating a dirty ketovore diet. I've have the occasional beer with friends and, in order to appease my family, I eat a small amount of veggies. Anyhow, even going half into low carb, my life also has changed. I retired four years ago and have lost 30 lbs. and am back to where I have been most of my adult life. Arthritis - gone. Psoriasis - gone. Energy level - high. All lipid levels better... Pre-keto, I retired four years ago, thinking that my career is over. I was extremely tired and overweight. Now, I've started a business and my life has completely turned around. I'm in the oil and ga business and often inspect petroleum storage tanks - lots of climbing. The other day, the youngsters working with me asked me to slow down... I'm now very active and keep getting hired by new clients. My income is double what it was last year at this time. My doctor, who had two overweight nurses working for him, first told me that keto was "dangerous." Now, he says to "keep doing what I am doing" and his two nurses are a lot slimmer..... I know they have gone keto.
Lead by example.. Looks like you have inadvertently changed the life and thinking of your doctor and his staff! - Good job!
That's fantastic! Best of luck to you mate and keep it going. 🙂
I don’t believe eating only meat is healthy for most people. The key thing to note here is not what’s being eaten but what isn’t. There’s no junk etc which then allows healing to be more effective
Great point

I will be sharing it with so many people. Thank you so much. Have a blessed day.☺
Its easy to explain why it works, humans have been carnivores for millions of years, agriculture is only 10000 years old, humans have developed adaptations to plant foods but they are fragile, and thats what happens to people who suffer from physical and mental health issues they have lost these adaptations.
who would of thought what humans have been eating since the dawn of time would be good for us! Interesting hearing his experience
We have also been eating plants from the dawn of time. We are omnivores.
@@loyal7597 yes but not as a main source of food.

@@loyal7597 didnt say our ancestors ate a pure carnivore diet nor did i say I do. Their main source of food WAS meat though, they ate whatever was available to them

JP I’ve been carnivore for the last 5 months, I feel so well, depression gone and weight down.I’m 74 yrs and look 50yrs. Yep Beef works, love it. Liver, yum yum so much energy from it too. Yes muscle tone so much improved, almost like a 30 yr old body, lucky me!!!!! TU JP
I am not carnivore but eat 1.5 to 2lbs of red meat a day, with some starches and fruit now and then. It has had a remarkable impact on my health, to the positive. My gastrointestinal issues had run me down in my late 20s and early 30s to the point where I was a shadow of my former self. Cut out all the gut irritating sugars and fibers and now I am back to thriving. It should be no surprise that we can live, thrive off meat. We came from a lineage of hunters. Go out in the forest today. What are you going to eat? Meat will be number ONE on your list.
If you want to get even better, ditch the fruits. Fructose will slow your metabolism because that's what it's evolutionary role is...true fact.
@@ClassicJukeboxBand Yeah I have a few treats still...some fruit and dark choccolate namely. I am more interested in oxalates than fructose. I am athletic build and find it hard to gain weight...so fructose isn't causing any issues for me that way.
@@supermarinespitfire1 I got it.
I cured psoriasis and arthritis on a 100% raw fruit diet. I am a bodybuilder also and am packing on muscle with just fruit. The issue with people changing from the standard American diet is the healing crisis. Its like fixing an old rusted car, the body parts have got to be broken down before they can be fixed. People just don't have the patience or strength and panic when the fruit starts stripping the body of mucus and inferior dead cells built on cooked foods. Make no mistake over time the cooked meat is going to play havoc with your system because you cannot regenerate eating dead cells. In the short term it is a wonderful approach.
@@ClassicJukeboxBand Balls! I am a fruitarian now 5 years and strong as a bull. You have two fluids in your body, blood and lymph. The lymph is your cellular sewer system. This becomes clogged over time on cooked foods. Fruit is the only food to remove these blockages and regenerate. Stop spreading lies!
6 months carnivore, mostly Lion, here. I can list a whole bunch of health benefits. Mental health in particular
Mid fifties on carnivore, I no longer have: IBS, high blood pressure, joint pain, sleep apnea, chest pain, cloudy vision, gas, bloating, 20lbs in weight.
I do have: more energy, more muscle and better sleep.
I've been carnivore since Jan. I'm 61 and was a horrible binger my whole life but now my sugar cravings are completely gone!!! Hoping to stop dairy soon and see how much better I feel!
Awesome!
Pasteurized/ homogenized dairy yes definitely stop but if you can get raw dairy the benefits are absolutely amazing!!
My friend, otherwise quite healthy, was on meat diet. In a week's time got serious kidney problem, was taken to emergency and got an infusion and got better, but had to eat balanced food. Doctor told her only-protein-diet is not good for body health. I am glad it worked for you, dr Peterson! God bless you and your family!
Kidney disease is one of the silent killers. In the case of your friend it probably surfaced when the meat diet tried to do something about it.
@@dimitri1946 Thanks for your comment!
You have to eat a lot of fat on this diet,if you eat only lean protein it can cause you problems,so eggs,cheese,milk,butter,fatty steaks, carnivore diet is basically everything that comes from an animal,exempt honey
I did it and lost 71 lbs. I've maintained my weight for 12 years now and my numbers frustrate my doctor who refuses to believe that I eat mostly meat. He said I have the blood pressure of a 24 year old man--I'm 59.
Me too...59 and an average blood pressure of about 110/70.
@@ClassicJukeboxBand Congrats classmate. Good job.
Im 62, carnivore since Jan 1. Carnivore healed the painful Dry Eye condition that i had. Its a miracle.
My hypothesis to the carnivore diet is a positive one. I have been severely effected by autoimmune diseases and I have been on a carnivore diet for 6 months. It’s been utterly amazing. I have struggled to quit sugar but that is improving every day. I can tell you ANY ingestion of “high fructose corn syrup” causes facial itching, rash and joint pain. And I am not exaggerating. It’s any consumption of this product. I will forever eat a carnivore diet because of the positive health benefits I have experienced. I am off all inflammatory medications and I feel great. The weight loss (25+ ponds) is a really nice additive, but not the goal and I could loose another 20lbs and be okay. Cheers 😎
You know it's interesting, I suffer from gout, part of the reason I'm scared to try it. But your statement about High Fructose Corn Syrup is 100% true. I drink a beverage that j
Is laced with high fructose I can garentee I'm having a minor flare up the next day.
@@GamingWithSpoons watch Dr. Ken Berry concerning gout. It is not caused by meat consumption.
@@GamingWithSpoons gout is not a carnivore issue, but a plant issue. You have nothing to loose trying the diet change in my opinion. My biggest reason was a horrendous facial rash that did not respond to anything or any medication and severe joint pain. In my opinion, and I am a Physician Assistant, inflammation in the body whether it be Rheumatoid Arthritis or Gout, inflammation is inflammation. Meat is not the enemy. You should give it a go. But if you sneak a plant whether fruit or veggie you will have a flare up.

As a doctor I would have thought his most interesting question/s would be why meat/beef only, seems to cure most people depression, weigh issues, skin issues, depression, energy levels, MS, type 2 diabetes etc. etc. etc.
It is nice that you've done this video. I'm convinced enough to try it. I love meat. I've eaten fruits and vegetables because I thought they were necessary. Apparently not. I've been on keto before and absolutely loved everything about it except the dry eyes. But what the heck. My waistline keeps expanding. My allergies are out of control. Every carb I eat goes to my midsection. I'm gonna give it a go. Thank you!
Eat your meat: it’s closer!
Its never too late to try carnivore!
63.5 here and had major anxiety and PVCs. I gave up all preservatives and mostly only eat whole foods. Anxiety has decreased to almost none and PVCs almost gone. I mostly do the Mediterranean diet and am happy with it, but I also really enjoy carnivore for periods of time. I also sequence my eating to vegetables, then meat or protein, starch and then sweet to help keep glucose spikes down. With this type of eating, I am never hungry and find that I can eat once a day and be perfectly satiated. I think what I have landed on is moderation, lol. I do eat Artisan bread that I make at home (very easy). If I have deserts, I make them at home and limit them to one meal and at the end of the sequence. I have never been on any meds (except OTC fish oil) and have not been to a doctor in over 40 years. I am in the medical profession and do my absolute best to not use the field I am a part of! No body aches whatsoever. Exercise mildly and do take a couple of weeks off here and there. Just my opinion, but I think keeping active (walking a lot) is more important than intentional exercise for exercise sake.
Fascinating how different we all are. The best thing you can do is learn what works for you. I’m interested in how this works out in a lifetime.
Its the K2 in the meat and the removal of omega 6 and oxalates. You can get the same results from taking the supplement and cutting out things high in oxalates and omega 6 like spinach and seed oils. I reversed my health issues from just doing these things. They destroyed our meats and veggies. Beef and eggs were high in K2 but once they fed cows corn and chickens grain they lost all K2 and now you can only get it from grass fed and chickens who eat insects.
Peter sounds like he doesn't want to believe it. For a man who is as educated as he sounds I'm floored at the questions he asks. It's not rocket science as to why a carnivore diet works.
Thought exactly the same
@@NoRegertsHereHe doesn't want to "Get it." Same with his buddy Rhonda Patrick.
Peter would be the first one to trot out proper studies if they were available. He prefers hypotheses that have been proved and replicated. That's why he asked about adding back foods to ascertain what you excluded precisely made the differences.
@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 exactly. i am a retired MD living in austria. i have been studying nutrition and metabolism for more tha 20 years. i was very interested in whatever peter attia and rhonda patrick said, when the first appeared on the internet. but both jumped with their opinions so fast. always makes me suspicious. if you do your researche properly it takes time. if it happens to fast i wonder, who pays these "scientists"
I appreciate this video!!! It’s very informative and encouraging!!! I’m ready to start this eating 🥣 lifestyle!!!! I love ❤️ 🥩 meats/fats!
For help watch medical doctors Ken Berry and Shawn Baker.
@@stevevernon5038 Thanks 🙏🏾! I’ll do that! Be blessed 😇!
My son-in-law has been on doing exactly this for 6 months, he’s constantly telling me how much better he feels physically and mentally. However his breath is absolutely unbearable, it smells like fresh dog shite! How my daughter deals with Christ only knows because it’s horrendous!
It just amazes me how many people complain about weight or medical problems but refuse to give up Carbs, Sugars, Processed Foods, and Plants! I am 72 and started Carnivore just about 3.5 months ago and have lost 25 pounds, now at the weight I was when I was in my 20's and 30's. Feeling great and have had some amazing changes in health. Problem I need to buy some new cloths....lol.
When I tell my parents and siblings about my diet they all freak out. I was somewhat lean, but the biggest change was my triglycerides. Down 40 in 4 months. Another side benefit that needs to be talked about. Mental clarity. Guessing its non processed fat. Who knows.
I have been carnivore since Januray and have lost 11kgs - I am not 100% carnivore - I drink coffee and from time to time I will have part of a "sad" diet meal with friends or family. I feel great and have lots of energy, I only eat twice a day and don't really snack as I don't feel hungery between meals.
What meat do you have for you're twice a day meals?
@@colinglen4505 Sorry for my delay Colin, only just found your comment. I have eggs and cheese for breakfast - some times a little minced beef. But I usually have beef steak for dinner or some times lamb chops.
Jordan looks better than ever. Amazing
We want an interview of Jordan Peterson with Ken Berry!!
I have been on and off carnivore diet for a few years now. When I'm on it, I lose body fat, gain muscle, and feel amazing. When I'm off it, I gain weight and feel hungry and tired all the time.
I keep getting knocked off the diet by my own hubris. I think "oh it's my birthday, I can have some icecream" or "it's mother's day, I can take my mom to chinese food". Then I eat some carbs and that's it. the addiction takes over and before I know it, it's been 3 months and I've gained 20 pounds and I've got a Snickers bar in my hands.
I've got to get myself back on the diet and stick to it. No cheating. No special occasions. Carb addiction is very real and I honestly believe it is one of, if not the most difficult addiction to beat. How could it not be when its all your body has known for 40+ years?
Good luck ! You will figure it out! At least you know the answer, so many don’t.
That's the American way. Every celebration is surrounded by food. Go carnivor and stick to like your life depends on it (because it does) and try a new way of celebrating. Reward yourself differently. Clothes, jewelry, new house decoration, hiking, a peaceful walk through a flower garden. Those who celebrate with you are also imbibing the unhealthy food with you. Make the change and be the change for them if you really love yourself and others.👍😉
A carnivore diet is NOT restrictive; I can eat all the meat, eggs, and butter I want. “Restricting” one’s self from processed pigfood snd poisoned plants is no restriction to me.
Oh wait. Eggs, and butter are included even though they are not meat? So what other non-meat is allowed on a carnivore diet?
@@XX-bn9sf Carnivore is ANIMAL foods...so YES... eggs, butter, cheeses, Yogurt etc.
I make all cheeses/yogurt from high fat Organic Milk...and they are phenomenal!
Beef and other ruminant clean meats (NOT PORK period..I'm Biblically Kosher) are very expensive in Canada. That's why I eat Salmon, Lox, Sardines, anchovies....oh, and Sauv-Blanc on Shabbat!
Well, I certainly cannot do the Hebrew Blessings with BONE BROTH...can I?
@@TheBaroness instead of giving thanks for the fruit of the vine give thanks for bone broth. I am not Jewish but I completely keep Torah. Shalom aleikom
@@XX-bn9sf depends on what you tolerate. Many people do best on literally only red meat and water. Some can easily eat eggs, butter, some cheese and so on. It should be very low in carbs dor the best effects. Egg yolks seem to be better tolerated than the whites, however, egg quality probably plays the biggest role here. I think many people will thrive on pasture raised organic egg(yolks)
@@XX-bn9sf occasional fish or poultry if you tolerate them well. but it's on the one eating to keep track of how they're doing.
No matter if you eat primarily meat, the main thing to target and cut out is sugars and carbs, they are, in fact the enemy. You will not hear one bad story from anyone who follows a carnivore or near total carnivore diet, everyone's health improves.
Thomas Delauer did a video on an academic research study about increasing protein in the diet, and it was found that increasing protein causes muscle mass retention & weight loss. I think it’s because theres a lot of enzymes and stuff in meat that improve digestion & processing of all the food we intake, so everything is more efficient and used properly, instead of endlessly storing excess fat and disrupting metabolic function.
An amazing way to live.
Beef diet for over a year can’t complain.
He said the same exact thing I discovered several months ago but this is the first time I’ve heard it online. You have to be careful introducing carbs back into your diet because you’ll start craving them then all that work that it took to get your body adjusted to carnivore is majorly compromised then you’ll have to start over. That’s been the best path at least for me…I’m too scared I’ll fall off the wagon so no carbs for me.
Apple cider vinegar will help with cravings just make sure you are high in potassium.
preferably 4500mg a day. ACV reduces potassium levels.
Done a carnivore variation for a few weeks now. Blood pressure has dropped from 150/100 to 120/80, arthritis has decreased significantly, no bloat. I've never felt better - wasn't easy in the beginning but you get over it. Lost 14 kgs so far.
@@fickdichyoutube1000 meat and lots of carbs including rice, potatoes, bread, pasta and occasional candy. Had the odd alcoholic drink.
@@fickdichyoutube1000 Where I live, in New Zealand, all cows are grass-fed and roam our plentiful countryside with freedom.
It is interesting that people who went pure vegan also claim similar results: weight loss, reversal of diseases.
But they can’t keep it going.
Yes. Very true and both sides might be right.
Thats why vegans look like they look? Sunken eybags, obvious bone loss, rapid visible aging, extremely sun sensitive? The difference between carnivores and vegans is, that carnivores can support their claims with their results while vegans look lile actual sh*t. There are so many videos where vegans get compared to when they started and to years into the diet. They all look disgusting.And most of them cant keep doing the diet since they get super sick. Why are there basically no ex carnivores who went vegan but but soooo many ex vegans who went carnivore?
One side is obviously lying with their results, or the brainfog because of lacking nutrients makes them oblivious to their bodies falling apart.
If you stop feeding your body vegetables fruit and starches then it can heal and start eating the body's fat for energy thus you need a proper amount of fat with protein which is a chuck roast or ribeye ideally are the best but eggs bacon are all you need
I've been hard-core carnivore for just under 5 years. I'm 55 yrs old and I feel better than I ever felt. More importantly, I'm healthier than I have ever been
amazing confirmation from Jordan Peterson on the carnivore diet, thank you
This is so great. Now we just have to wait for the government to adopt this diet in about 100 years. Good times!
I got fatter on KETO. I’m losing fat on carnivore.
I'd think carnivore is a true zero carb diet, while Keto is still tolerating between 20g to 40g, so the former will give you greater ketosis, which should translate into greater fat burning.
@@XX-bn9sf nah keto means minimal to no carb. Carnivore is a ketogenic diet too. Keto just incooperates plant matter too, wich can have bad effects like maybe water retention, wich is useless weight.
I’ve been following a plant based diet for over two years now on the advice of my family doctor. I’m 72 and am height and weight proportionate,good BMI. I have to say all the things that Peterson is describing in his diet are the same results I’m experiencing. I just can’t understand where he’s getting other vitamins and micronutrients if all he eats is meats. Unless he’s supplementing.
The other issue is the quality of the meat he’s eating. Are we to presume it’s strictly grass feed ,hormone and antibiotics free? Because so much meat out there is not free of those substances.
The same can be said of a plant based diet which could contain pesticides ,be GMO etc.
It’s a case of consumer be aware. Quite frankly this whole subject needs to be properly teased out and better explained by actual dietary specialists and nutritionists . Mr Peterson and his wife and daughter obviously are happy with their choice but I would advise others to do their research before rushing headfirst into a meat only diet. Humans since the dawn of time have actually been more omnivorous not carnivorous .
I really enjoyed reading your comment. You are absolutely correct that this whole subject needs to be subjected to more and better scientific inquiry. Unfortunately, most of the dietary epidemiology is so poor that it is not unreasonable to say that nutrition research usually isn’t even science.
I suspect that carnivore may be better than plant-based for many people’s health, but I am not at all certain about that. I like that you have the opposite opinion but shared it without throwing stones.
If you eat grass fed, grass finished tail to nose (all parts of the meat) you will get all of your micronutrients. Paul Saladino, MD is a good source and was strict carnivore for years. (He has since added back fruit and honey, but not so much for nutrition.)
Yes on this I feel his diet choices have a lot of ignorance to them, he works long hours I doubt he has really gone into this properly.. meat only diet is almost impossible to go into a calorie surplus on, you get sick of eating it and your body does not feel like eating more... this keeps you full for longer also. So this provides the consistency of a calorie deficit. JP was quite chubby in old videos he is referring to, again a consistent form of calorie surplus over time which probably has consequences... too much fat = health problems.. I gain a lot of fat in my late 20s early 30s and health problems came along with Psoriasis..my meat diet helped the symptoms but I lost a lot of fat also... but I noticed psoriasis was inconsistent... but the less fat I have the better my condition is.. sometimes I wake up after alot of carb eating and it has reduced... I think a lot of his problems can be related to stress...he works long hours and is constantly under stress. I think stress and fat are 2 deadly combinations and this leads to problems. Japan shoves rice down their throats like it is going out of fashion and are the one of the healthiest nations around...so I cannot fully accept his premise.
No animal needs experts to tell them what to eat...why do humans? Before we had experts, we had zero metabolic disease...experts and bad science are the problem...nutritionists and food experts are clueless...
Totally agree on Jordan’s point about craving carbs
Great interview!
I tried ketogenic diets for years, off and on. At first, I would lose weight on them, but then it would stall and eventually I would fall off the wagon. I think a large part of the failure was that all the keto cookbooks and online recipes were for foods that were meant as substitutes for standard American diet (SAD) foods. Keto pizza! Keto dessert! And, of course, they didn't taste as good as the real thing. Ultimately, you begin to resent that and to miss the genuine versions. So you cheat. And then it's over.
Now I'm on carnivore. It isn't a substitute version of anything. It's easy to stick to -- I'm never hungry. I sometimes skip a day of eating because I just forget, and my stomach doesn't remind me. I feel great and all my old ailments are gone. The weight is melting off -- much faster than it ever did with a keto diet -- I weigh less than I have in decades.
It's easy to understand why this works. It's a species-appropriate way of eating. Becoming carnivorous is what separated our ancestors from the rest of the great apes. It both allowed and required development of our larger brains. This is the way we were always meant to eat.
Exactly,,its almost like a alcoholic saying I will have a low alcoholic drink etc just not sustainable until something gives. Complete abstinence is best
You make a great point with the substitute food in keto and also, veggie/vegan.
about 2 years ago I did strict carnivore, just steaks for like 3 weeks. Ive been working out for about 6 months at the time, during that time eating just steaks, my muscles looked more full than Ive ever seen, not like a fluff and puff type but like I had more blood volume and oxygen. it was incredible. I stopped because I need more weight to lose, but Im now realizing I could have done that with the steaks,
Truly unbelievable and also fantastic. I will try it
The perfect end point. Eating carnivore dramatically improves mental focus, clarity and function.
Obviously has nothing to do with calorie restriction.
I've had great success with a high meat diet although I do add in some some vegetables, dairy and fruit.
A new way of life for me 🥩🥩🥩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yay! This has been working for me too. Lost 12 lbs so far.
Great Video!!!
It is a shame Peter Attia seems to poo poo it. A while back he was all on board with low carb. I guess there is not much money in promoting so called restrictive diets.
I would love to hear if Jordan tried fermented vegetables, in very low quantities. Assuming his gut has had enough time to heal that he could consider exploration.
I was told by my doctor that eating carbs is like fuel for that part of your brain that craves addiction. If you stop eating carbs for two or three days, you go through a bit of withdrawal but once you get past that, you're fine. I've lost 50 pounds in three months. Granted, I am running 15 miles a week but my 400+ glucose levels are now down in the 100-teens levels.
I started the carnivore diet 4 years ago, and within a few months, I began to notice an improvement in my daily energy levels. No more morning headaches and quicker physical recovery. By the end of the first year, I had regained the weight I had when I was 20, and I also noticed that my muscles were growing more easily when exercising. Now, in the fourth year, I can break stones with my fists, my genitals are growing and I can read other people's minds. It has been a drastic change for me that I recommend to everyone.
Just wait until you start to fly. That's when things get really exciting. But seriously, give it a shot and see what happens.
Faster than a locomotive and change the course of mighty rivers
Wow that is so amazing and motivating to read. It almost sounds too good to be true! Of course cutting out all food sources but one is the most healthy and rational thing you can ever do to your body. I think the government actually invented vegetables just to make us weak and submissive. I am so stoked to try this out for myself now.
I can bend down and pick up what's on the floor and stand up again no ache or pain haven't done that for twenty years ❤😂oh and I lost twenty lbs in two months
Let me know when you can break stones with your genitals ... then we're talking ... LOL.
