I was 385lbs 10 years ago. Lost about 100 over the years doing martial arts and such. Wasn’t until I started eating carnivore until I really got my proper body weight back. Without lose hanging skin. I’m currently 215lbs. 6’3” 53 years old. Autoimmune disorder that I had for years is now gone no more meds for that. For anyone wondering just start eating meat and eggs in butter with some bacon and you won’t regret it. I now eat some carbs but never eating sugar again. Xylitol is a great substitute but it will disrupt Ketosis.
Amazing work and discipline my friend! You deserve to enjoy every moment of your new life after your transformative journey back to wellness! How inspiring!🤗
I’m very interested in your story. I’m about to start carnivore to see how my autoimmune response is. I’ve given myself 10 weeks to see if it makes any difference. I’m due to start the process to begin using humoron mid February and I’m really hoping I see an improvement in my condition before I have to commit to a lifetime of medicine
@@richardpaterson3116 i've read where some do not start seeing the benefits until 90 days in. Maybe give yourself a little longer. I also have an autoimmune disorder and wanting to do this diet. Good luck to you!
I was listening to another podcast that said eating red meat increases your risk of diabetes. I answered that red meat does not cause diabetes and my fasting insulin level was 5.2 Someone else answered that per the Harvard School it increases it by 68%. I answered back, I am almost 70, eating red meat all my life and I am still waiting on becoming a diabetic. No more response. 😂
The goal was always to scare you with lies that would prevent you from ever trying a carnivore diet. In my case they have failed miserably because I feel great with endless energy and I'm 73.
Harvard published a study in October re carnivore bemefits and a huge success they reported was for diabetes!! All people lmeds went off I think and every saw an improvement!!
With the gut issues were you taking any supplements? I'm carnivore and using broccoli sprouts , phgg and GOS . They help with constipation on carnivore
Yup, I tossed out the vegetarian diet the 7th Day Adventist MD brainwashed me into at 30 and the next 45 yrs. A diagnosis of the Autoimmune & Menopause hell with screaming pains of 24/7 AS arthritis. Her predictions: for the rest of your life you will take....Hilariously, that was all I needed to shove the finger in her face and started seeking foods as medicine. From All Greens Patterson diet I ranged to Arthritis Health Canada diet to Autoimmune Health Canada advice...to land on Carnivore, after keto helped somewhat. Now 5 yrs in as carnivore I am almost completely balanced. No pains since I started meats, revised my minds positions and ignorance to face my made up blood phobia/gross feelings to learn how to cook meat best and love my multiple freedoms that eating a Strict Carnivore diet. I love my Meats and fats 60-40 for me; but the Gates- Extinctionist globalists WEF death advice can go straight to hell of their own making. As if they even eat Bugs, never spew CO2 (they are punishing us the innocent with ) and guess what, yeah they always think of our well being and believe in telling the truth always!
I am 84 , 311 days on carnivore. Lowered blood pressure, pain in knees gone, arthritis in fingers gone, sleeping great , lost 27 lbs. I eat 4eggs and 3pieces of bacon, steak or tri tip for dinner with butter.. A1C down
Good going, Barbara. Having a hard time getting my doctor on board but finally took me off of one BP Rx. I won't stop eating this way. Not having the cravings is wonderful. Many years of better health to all of us.❤😊
I am carnivore now for over 12 months and it has cured many issues associated with inflammation. Gums stopped bleeding, ankles stopped hurting in mornings, back ache gone, neck ache gone, sleep much better, stopped snoring, clearer mind, happier, no gas, skin improved and skin tags went away. There are more benefits ..........its been a fantastic journey.
A team of researchers at Loma Linda University in the United States has shown vegetarian men live for an average of 10 years longer than non-vegetarian men - 83 years compared to 73 years. For women, being vegetarian added an extra 6 years to their lives, helping them reach 85 years on average.
Hoping for a great result for you! I was diagnosed with IBD 8 months ago. Nothing was working, the steroids stopped the bleeding but all other symptoms continued to get worse. I'm 1 month into a carnivore diet and so far the results are promising. After 3 days I had my first solid poop in like 6 months. Bloating gone, weird gurgling stomach gone, general upset stomach gone. I still have a bit of urgency when I need to poop and occasionally have a small bit of mucus shortly after. Coming from where I was though is night and day in the difference. Still early days and have alot of healing to do but hoping for the best, hoping for the best for you too!
Thank you. 77 and on day 2. Just the idea of doing this is rather exciting. Now day 5. Had some strange issues, but now have an aversion to my previous diet. Now day 6 and I've lost my appetite. Not hungry at all. Tummy has settled down. Feeling great compared to b4. Now day 14 and had a couple of bad days but starting to feel the benefits. Walked further today than I have in years. Felt energy coming back. 👍 Day 15 -18 went down. Low blood sugar. Hypoglycemic symptoms. Experimenting with myself as I try to fix this. 🙄😜 Day 19 added a very small piece of pumpkin and potato to fatty roast lamb and blood sugar came back to normal. 😥 Day 20 assessing what to keep and what to minimise, and when, leading up to full carnivore again by day 30.
You can do this!!! I’m 5 weeks in, and the photos shown on this video like donuts, fries, and pasta actually gave me an aversion reaction. I don’t even miss them, and this said by a former foodie-hardly any food I didn’t like. Though I am only about 10-15 pounds over my ideal weight, I have a number of health problems I am hoping to resolve. Best wishes to you!
I ate carnivore last year for 7 months. I felt great. Lost 20 lbs. No more skin problems and Seborrheic dermatitis, no more heart burn, no more high blood sugar issues, no more cravings, no more high blood pressure, no more sore joints and walking carefully down the stairs! (I'm 50 yrs old) Then, during halloween season, I ate one piece of chocolate. Come Christmas I gained 15 lbs back and felt sick and tired again. So, I don't want to go off of carnivore again. I've been back on it for 2 and 1/2 weeks again and feeling so much better. I've lost 5 lbs already and I can't believe how much better I feel and look. My face looks like I lost 20 lbs already. I'm definitely a sugar addict and need to keep listening to these videos and reading about the benefits of carnivore to stick with it. They are like my 12 step meetings for sugar! Thank you so much Dr. Berry. I'm so grateful! 😀
Same here. I told myself two thanksgivings ago " I think its ok to eat what I want to on holidays" I have been struggling to stay on carnivore ever since. People don't let your brain lie to you. Stay away from the garbage food. There is no benefit whatsoever.
Milestone met: I started carnivore 6 days ago, thanks to you guys. Today, after 35+ years, I ate scrambled eggs. I have had a psychological aversion to eggs most of my life, but my brain is now apparently shifting with determination to get healthy! ❤
Fry some cut up bacon in the pan and then dump eggs in and scramble them all together. This has been my craving for the last week. Don't pour out any of the bacon fat.
Yay!!! 👏 You've got this! Eggs are so good for you! And if you used salt and a little bit of heavy cream, whip it up before scrambling in bacon grease or butter, they'll taste really good! 👌
My friend was just diagnosed with cancer at the left base of his tongue. The nutritionist came in with a list of ingredients he can use to make smoothies. The foods were all carbs, sugary fruits, grains, and seeds. Recommendations included low protein, no fats, and fibrous veggies. This is the advice Adventist Health nutrition "experts" are giving to their cancer patients. When I stated that sugars feed cancer cells, she dismissed it as being without basis. I gave her back the list and we asked her to leave the exam room. 🤦🏻♀️
Sounds like Keto Chow Core (the beef protein version) shake mix might be something that could be used for your friend. Perhaps you already know about it...
@@monicacollins8289 Why does the 'medical system' recommend & supply the worst meals to its patients? This is awful. This is wrong. If you're in hospital you should be fed 'Healing, healthy' food, not food that feeds cancer & inflammation!
My husband and I have been on a mostly carnivore diet for 3 months now. We do eat a small amount of garlic, onions, and avocado. The benefits are impressive. High energy, restful sleep, enhanced mental focus, almost no joint pain, skin improvements, weight loss, good mental state. My husband no longer has acid reflux and doesn't need to take his medication. I usually have asthma attacks every day in the winter. I haven't had even one for more than 2 months now. I haven't had to use my light box for my seasonal affective disorder. I'm 76 and the only medication I am taking is pig thyroid. Our food bill has gone down because we don't purchase any processed food and don't eat snacks. We eat two meals a day and IF from 6 PM to 10 am. No cravings. We said we would try it for 3 months. With all the benefits we have experienced so far we won't stop now. We are grateful to have come across the proper human diet.❤
I just realized I have not used my inhaler for 3 days...I usually was gasping for that inhaler every morning and night. So happy to see its demise.Have only been on Carnevore for 3 weeks. It is truly a miracle, plus lost 3 dress sizes. I am 74. Good wishes to you and your husband, Gabby from NZ.❤
4 yrs on Keto, 7 weeks on carnivore. I’m 6’3”, 61 yrs and in amazing shape! I’ve lost and am keeping off 100lbs(310 to 210). I’ve also come off of all my “fat old guy meds”.😊The Carnivore way of eating is leaning me out and plumping up my muscles. Some regular physical activity accentuates the metabolic and psychological benefits! Thanks for being a wonderful health coach Dr. Berry!😊
That's great news! I'm only on day 11 myself and already seeing a change and loving it. EXCEPT for one thing... black coffee in the morning. I miss it, and I was wondering if other carnivors still enjoy it, or should I stay away?
@@chrisjenn226 I just started watching some of Dr.Berry's videos and so far I like him. I guess I haven't seen that video where he says he drinks coffee or may have missed it, but thank you for the feedback. I believe in the morning I'm going to have me a cup of black coffee!
He did stop drinking it for awhile but I believe started drinking it again he does say you can drink it though I actually switched to decafe only 1 every day or 2 day feel much better
I lost 90lbs in 2021 listening to you! I am healthy and feel like I got my life back and have kept the weight off for the 1st time in my life at 53. Thank You 🎉❤.
I started carnivore 3 days ago. I ate my breakfast at 10:30. I didn't get hungry until 5 pm. I am weaning myself off all other foods. It has been going well.
You’ll notice after a few days that your body will start flushing the bad things. DON’T WORRY: YOU’RE NOT SICK! After 2 weeks, you’ll feel like a new person! Oh and don’t worry if you’re not hungry for longer periods either. Your body will tell you when to eat. The sweet spot is 1-2 solid meals per 24h cycle.
10:30 seems quite the norm. I have ham and eggs ant 10.30. Second breakfast at 12.00 - usually a pound of beef (burgers or mince or similar). By 8 or 9pm I can usualy just about neck a ribeye steak, but sometimes I fail to finish it lol. It's crazy how satiated and full you feel.
@@MikeAndNaryI'm curious to know too. Personally, I had a weight stall for over a month. Last weekend I ate an absolute **** ton of carbs in the form of packets of indo noodles. In the space of 4 days I dropped 14 lbs!!! I was just constanty P***ing it out. Back to only meat and am back losing 4lb over a week. 12lbs to go untill I reach my goal. I'm off all meds too which is an amazing bonus. Start weight 20 stone. End weight should be around 14.5 stone.
February 6 will be a year for me!!! I love how God had me stumble upon one of your videos and from that day He’s had me on this new journey with Him!!! I will always remember what He said a month into this, “not only am I healing the outside but I am also healing the inside out too” I stand by that promise throughout this journey!!! I used to be in sooooo much pain with food… now I don’t!!! Praise God and thank you Dr Berry for sharing your testimony and wisdom!! Forever grateful!! ❤🎉
One other thing God said to me 2 weeks into this new journey with Him was “you can be spiritually fit and that’s a weapon.. but when you become spiritually fit and physically fit NOW THAT’S A WEAPON!!” 👏🏻🙌🏻 We are for sure VICTORIOUS through Him!! God for sure gets all the Glory!!! Hallelujah!!
2 plus years carnivore now. Decided to go strict lion diet for the month of January. 17 days in now, and feeling amazing! I have had my labs checked every 6 months for the last 2 years, and its amazing to me that they just keep getting better and better! I reversed type 2, high blood pressure, fatty liver, low testosterone, autoimmune issues, and came off of all medications. My cholesterol actually came down. Which was weird to me. But I know it can have the opposite effect on some. I think the reason is because carnivore meets us where the person is in relation to how much damage we have done to ourselves individually. Which is why some of us loose weight faster than others, and why labs can vary to some degree. I use to not be able to walk more than 2k steps in a day, and it was extremely painful to do it. I would have to use mobility scooters to get around with my family when we would go to places like Disney. I can now walk upwards of 30k steps in a day, and I am fine. I will be 50 years old in July of this year, and am going to Q school for the PGA to play professional golf! Finding YT videos like these with Dr. Berry, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Baker, talking about Carnivore, no doubt about it SAVED MY LIFE! and a little side note... It also saved my mothers life. She was stage 4 CKD, and now after a little more than a year, has kidney function in the 90% range verified by nephrologist and labs. She was either going to need a kidney transplant/ dialysis or die due to kidney failure. But took a chance on the diet that I was talking to her so much about, and had helped me. Shes now healthier than she has been in a long time. Meat heals.
I had the same experience with my Cholesterol. It used to be 189 on SAD; ketovore pushed it to 378. But after 2 years of Carnivore it dropped to 275, which was amazing to me since I ate pounds of meat & fat. My body had a ton of healing it needed to go through. My weight is finally stable and I'm stronger at almost 63 than I've ever been my whole life. My young adult kids can't keep up with me! 😄
Perhaps not anymore but I strongly suspect because I've seen it numerous times that carnivore dieters were previously on the SAD diet and no great surprise that when they cut out processed junk they solve some of their health issues. It's really no surprise because what you were eating before was so shit, lol and my original comment was directed to the op, not you but it works on 90% of you people as you've already admitted to eating SAD.
I went LCHF WOE in 2019 & I believe it saved my life. I will be 81 on aug. 21 2014 and have zero pains. I dropped 100 lbs. off my old carcass . I get 100 grams minimum animal protien daily. I also eat a very very small amount veggies. I maintain 170 lbs wt. and am 5 ft. 8 in tall. I exercise a little & pedal my trike all over town. I may kick the bucket tomorrow but am living and enjoying life
It’s actually a very weak and illogical argument. I’m all for the carnivore diet but I will point out bullshit when I see it. A “Dr” saying that is just ridiculous.
After a couple years of menopause symptoms,I suddenly became pregnant at 44 Dr berry!! What?! It's all your fault😂 well, partially. My husband had a massive heart attack in July. We immediately became serious and went full carnivore. By October we were feeling A LOT BETTER. hes better than he was before the heart attack. And now , me, a grandmother of 3, is pregnant. 😂
Starting carnivore diet was the best decision I’ve ever made. My constant snacking has stopped My inflammation has decreased so much I still can’t believe the results. I sleep better My energy is amazing But more importantly I feel fantastic!
3 months later I still haven’t had the urge to snack, energy levels have become stable, still no inflammation,feeling great, I do struggle with eating meat somedays but I just change the type of meat and it quickly goes away.
Hey Doc, I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired. Been overweight my whole life, psoriasis, and many other issues. It's day 1, thanks for all your info and encouragement.
Stick with it!!! You will sometimes feel WORSE before you get better. Cravings are hard. Keep something like hard boiled eggs available for when you are craving sugar and need something quick to fight the craving. But you WILL feel better!!! Keep us updated!!! You've got this!
@tatianesoarespereira I started with keto, and cut out all ultraprocessed food. After a few months my carbs dropped basically to zero and I ate steak, ground beef, eggs, bacon, lamb, and sardines.
@tatianesoarespereira I also eat avocado and cheese from time to time. For fats I use butter and ghee, lard, tallow and coconut oil sometimes. And I always save the fat when I cook bacon 🥓 😋
I’m 76. Hadn’t had any libido at all for maybe 10 years. While eating mostly vegan. After several months doing carnivore, all of sudden, whoa, what’s that!? 😂 And it got rid of my pain from RA. It’s been 2 yrs now. Yay!
I'm in my 6th week of carnivore and i love it. All aches and pains from old injuries are gone. My balance has improved as well when i noticed that i could put on my pants standing up the other day. I lost about 14 pounds after week 4, but seemed to have plateaued, at the moment. I'm also bursting with energy with my workouts. Mental clarity and a calm and relaxed mind are a bonus, too. I'm sticking with this for a while.
My grocery bill dropped by ⅔. My shopping trip dropped by the coordinating amount of time also! Meat, dairy and out! Gotten so much time back also! Cleaning up my kitchen, preparing meals. Omad and 2mad, has given me back so many hours! And time is money so I've also gotten it back in that form.@@suzannecarrier287
@@suzannecarrier287 No bc I only eat 2 meals/day and I don't buy snack food. If you calculate cost per pound of cookies, chips, etc., they cost more price wise and health wise. No longer needing meds have saved me $120/month, which I now use to buy meat. No longer needing deodorant, expensive dental paraphernalia, and expensive lotions & potions to mask acne and other skin conditions have saved me a small fortune. That savings goes to my meat. I don't buy bottled beverages anymore. I no longer patronize restaurants so that money goes toward my meat. I shop sales, buy in bulk, and cut my own meat. I've learned how to cook cheaper cuts of meat so I don't feel a need to eat ribeye or other expensive steaks for every meal. It's entirely doable.
Hey Dr. Berry, just a quick note to thank you for all of your hard work in helping people out. I've put your advise into practice and am amazed at the results. I'm 5'7" and went from 235 lbs down to 212 lbs in less than a month. I'm primarily eating a carnivore diet with the occasional avocado or glob of peanut butter (I love peanut butter). I have transitioned to eating only once a day, and the transformation in how I feel is remarkable. Here are some of the improvements I've experienced in such a short span of time: significant weight loss, a notable reduction in joint pain, liberation from depression and anxiety, no more sleep apnea, a surge in energy levels, clearer skin, a substantial drop in blood sugar levels from an average of 14 to around 5, a gradual decrease in blood pressure, a shift from constant overheating to minimal sweating, and heightened mental clarity. Thank you once again for your exceptional contributions to the well-being of others! Keep up the good work!!!
I started this diet (life style) on 2 Jan and love it! I have lost 10-15 pounds since I stared. I had type 2 diabetes until 3 days ago, my blood sugar is now below 100! I had acid reflux for years, it has gone away! I’m 60 years old, wish, this is a life saver! Wife started yesterday!
Happy to hear for you! But man that wasn’t the case for me, I was almost lion for 9 month and depression and anxiety got worse for me. I honestly think being that strict didn’t help me.
You saved my life. Three weeks ago I had heart problems - extrasistoles, arrhytmia, my heart was pounding like a drum, skipping, for entire days. I ended up in the ER, since then I've done a blood panel, thyroid full panel and a heart ultrasound, EKG and carrotid doppler. I've started carnivore last April and due to some very stressful times (death in family, new job) I slipped some, but managed to go down 45 pounds. The heart problems were conclusively of mental stress origin, but the doctor said losing that weight and getting my organism in a better state probably made this 10x less of a problem for the entire body. My heart is strong and all parameters in order. My LDL is in the upper normal range, HDL higher than before, triglyicerides almost non existent, blood sugar and insulin normal, electrolites normal, blood pressure 126/82, resting heart beat 65, no plaque whatsoever in the carrotids........ thyroid T4/T3/TSH/peroxidase/anti-G all normal... liver hormones all good except for GGT, which is also down from what it was (fatty liver)... No anemia! Been anemic for most of my life. They all wondered how an overweight person such as me (used to be 260 pounds), at 42, has better bloodwork and hormones than someone 20 years younger. If I'd been the way I was it might not have gone this well for me. Thank you! I'm back on track, doing great and one of the most incredible things I've experienced is NO MORE CONSTANT DAILY HEADACHES and much better sleep. Those things were killing me. Constant painkillers and exhaustion from not sleeping well. You start to notices things getting better in the first few weeks you didn't even know were bad, cause they've been so bad you forgot about it. I eat grass fed beef, some port, bacon, eggs, fresh fatty fish, ghee, pork fat, tallow, ocassionally some hard ripe cheese and homemade kefir, long fermented.
Dr Berry, I would like to thank you. I found you around March 2023 and in May 2023 I switched to a carnivor diet. I'm a 51 year old English truck driver and I was 20.2 stone( 282lbs) I'm now 14.10 stone (197lbs) and feel better at 51 than I ever did at 31. I feel younger and look younger. I was also on antidepressants that I no longer take. I was either prediabetic or type 2 it was so close. My cholesterol levels are now below the UK average and my A1c is 5.3. Without stumbling across one of your UA-cam videos I would still be in the same place I was and struggling to get off the couch. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will never go back to the way I used to eat, its now a PHD for the rest of my life. Thank you.
I'm 67 years old, female with my blood pressure at 170/110 for the past several years. Started carnivore 7 days ago and my bp has reduced every single day. Imagine my surprise today when it was 121/85. My arthritis is much improved, my severe knee pain on day #5 has completely vanished. My dry eyes are much improved. My weight is down 8 lbs.
Well I’ve been an observer for quite awhile . Started ketovore 1-1-24. So far I’ve lost 10 #. Blood pressure has dropped from 150-180 over 85-110 to 115/80 consistently. Pulse has dropped from 80-95 to high 60’s. Bad knees have improved immensely. I was skeptical, now I’m amazed. For me variety is paramount. I eat eggs hard boiled, fried and made a pizza crust from an egg and coconut flour etc. meats have included hard salami, liver sausage, chuck roast beef stew, steak etc. Because of the variety I believe that I can do this long term. Thanks Ken
I don't do dairy, so no pizza for me, but apparently if you put some cooked chicken in a food processor with an egg and a bit of cheese, you can flatten it out and bake it for a plant-free pizza crust.
I just want to say thank you for putting out these videos. Your plain and simple explanations and no-nonsense delivery are really very much appreciated and you have helped me so much on my road back to regaining my health. Which is why I thought I would share my journey with you and anyone else who might be interested enough to read. For so many years I followed the recommended " Standard Western Diet" based on the Food Pyramid that the health department put out there. Which was largely based on research that was funded by the U.S. sugar, grain growers and other farming organizations. During that time my health slowly deteriorated to the point where I had gained so much weight, had difficulty moving around and ended up having a mini stroke, which has messed up my balance and vision. This time last year I was 130kg, pre diabetic, had high blood pressure, underactive thyroid, psoriasis, sciatica, fatty liver and inflammation. On December 1st 2022, my 65th birthday, I cut out all sugar, grains, seed oils and alcohol. I switched to the carnivore diet. Following your recommendations, I now only eat meat, fish, eggs and other unprocessed animal products such as liver, kidneys, hearts, and giblets etc. Apart from onion, garlic and a few spices for flavouring, I do not eat any fruit or vegetables at all. I don't count calories and eat as much as I want, (usually around 1 - 1.5kg) until I have had enough. When my brain says I've had enough I stop eating and only eat again when I feel hungry. As it has turned out for me, I only eat once a day, during a one-hour window around midday and I no longer have any cravings for snacks in between. As of this morning I am now down to 94kg, which is a loss of 36kg and all of the above conditions are gone. I feel more like I did when I was in my 30's and 40's, my bloodwork and blood pressure are pretty well spot on and I now enjoy getting out and about, going for long walks, a bit of fishing and other activities. My balance and vision issues are still there from the stroke but I am able to cope with that well enough. Thanks once again for all your advice toward regaining a better life. I wish everyone all the very best of luck in finding their own way to better health and a longer life. Kindest regards to everyone.
Your kind and humble spirit radiates in your writing. I wish you the very best in your life. I pray for a complete recovery from the effects of your stroke.
Did my annual VA physical exam blood draw today. Looking forward to the results. Year 3 of paleo low carb diet and activity. Stable weight, feel great and strong, 68 years old. Better shape than the 40 year old me. You ROCK, DR. KEN!!💪👍
do you use MyHealthEVet online? I check it daily until results are posted, but what I've found is the A1c is its own lab and never shows the results, it shows the test, but no results. Last month I called the nurse and had them look it up June 2022, today 5.2 and all my labs are great. The VA even did a cardio calcium score test and its a big fat ZERO! This all started when the VA wanted me on a statin and I went about researching how bad they are and found Dr Berry, the rest is history
I am coming up on being vegan for 8 yrs now and I am just not feeling it anymore, I think lately my body does not like starch. such as rice, potatoes, pasta. I am now putting on weight, feel lazy and sometimes kinda foggy! My tummy aches at night now, so I am thinking of introducing meat back into my diet and transitioning over to the carnivore diet without the dairy. I am going to give myself about 6 months to slowly switch over, Thanks for your video!
I started 9 days ago carnivore and have doing great. I am eating 1MAD because I eat until I feel good and have not cheated or felt hungry until my dinner time at 6pm. I found myself with more energy than I have had in years. I look forward to healing my body from so many issues and can't wait to get off the meds!!! I have never been so excited to get healthy before. And carnivore makes it so easy. Thank you Dr. Berry
Thank you so much Dr Berry! I have been diving down the rabbit hole so to speak for about 10 months now, watching you and others and using self education as a tool to keep my mind right as a first defense in my detox from life long sugar addiction. I'm 61 F, and so it has been disheartening to watch the super athletic males who become superman and heal everything overnight so to speak; however your videos and others have sustained me thru a slow journey to regain/ repair my health and sustain it as I enter the aging process of the decade of my 60's. In 7 months I have lost 20 lbs, have achieved sustainable energy and have experienced food 'sanity' for the 1st time in my life. My hope is that this PHD will protect my eyes and teeth as I age. I am now going thru a strange mourning phase. I miss the exitotoxins in junk food and the entertainment value of variety. But when I succumb to euphoric recall I find the 1st few bites thrilling and then meh as the reality of the knowledge that I'm eating detrimental poison for a cheap thrill occurs. Of course, being human, I wish to have it all. I am attempting to fill the gap w new activities ( hiking) and exploring new places to physically experience the wonder of life, matching my new mental information. I am actually living more now, rather than eating more. I've escaped the little box of comfort/ pleasure that the world suggests as the goal of existence, and literally stretched my legs to go discover new things! So my point is that when I find myself bored w the PHD, I think it's because life is supposed to b exciting rather than food. I think food addiction masks our very zest for life and is perhaps the biggest danger of all! This is how life should b, and I am very grateful 🙏
4 weeks carnivore. I found it extremely hard. I just kept pushing through. No depression, swollen hands gone(painful) l feel strong. 63 in 3 weeks 21st September. Was keto. Epilepsy background. I can honestly say carnivore is for me. Thank you Doctor Berry. ALSO, A REMINDER TO THOSE WHOM THINK ITS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. $5.00 approximately a day on meat. And this is only the beginning. Now my friends wouldn't do keto. But, they are certainly going to do carnivore. I just shared your fantastic video. My kindest regards Greta Vains DOWNUNDER ❤AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 ❤❤
Been on a meat heavy ketogenic lifestyle for 5 years now and still love this way of eating. I reversed my IBS,stomach ulcer,mood swings gone, eczema gone and lost 93 pounds! I’m 53 and feel amazing 🤩
6 months carnivore. Gut fixed, lost almost 70 pounds, high BP is almost completely fixed. So many problems, pain etc. 80% better already. Keep preaching, Doc! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i just was eating lamb and bacon and cheddar cheese..yummy, lost 28 kg on carnivore and no prediabetic anymore and feeling strong and stable..depression gone, so many opportunities lately and that is thanks to consistent fasting and carnivore...mental clarity is strong...was part of a organisation before that promoted veganism and gained 30 kg and was so sick and the people there also was very strict and sick vegan...sending lots of love to all that embrace a meat diet..its powerful once you get the hang of it!!
Thank you Dr Berry!! Almost four months carnivore! Every day is a blessing!!! No more fatty liver, diabetes or diverticulitis!! Lost over thirty pounds and counting down!! No more bursitis, bleeding gums, arthritis!! For me it's carnivore for life!!
Hello from Durban, South Africa. I was T2 for almost 9 years. Had a high blood sugar and high cholesterol issue in July last year. Felt like I was going to die. From next day, went on Keto. Found Dr Berry on UA-cam and after 2 weeks, switched to carnivore. Stopped taking metformin. A1c is now down to 5.8 from 12.6 Everything seems to be far better than before, besides the gout pain in my toe. Perhaps I am missing something. Although, there is a significant improvement in what seemed to be arthritis. No more joints aching when I'm climbing the stairs. Thank you, Dr Berry. I owe it to you and God Bless.
I’m starting on March 1 this coming Friday. I have had Hashimotos for 31yrs. I have been over 240 lbs since then due to following medical “advice”. I tried Keto once and loved it but did not know about electrolytes and had to quit. Now I am in a wheelchair due to arthritis in my right hip. Plus a few other issues. It’s do or die this time. I’m 64 yo and too young to give up. On Friday I check into a hotel w/full kitchen while my kitchen is being renovated. I am not bringing any carbs with me. So I am determined to get it right this time.
I know that if I eat a high carb meal I get lethargic and so sleepy. And I crave carbs and sugar. I have learned so much watching you and Neisha. As well as Steak and Butter Gal plus many other carnivore. When I stopped eating sugar my joint pain went away after a few days. I am just beginning the Carnivore diet and I hope that my results will make my family and friends want to do it as well.
I am a 16 year old boy, I was, at my fittest, 155 lbs lean and muscular during wrestling season last year, gained some weight after to 170 which is kinda normal after season so I’m still healthy at 170, but I broke both my arms in a lifting accident, and gained 35 lbs because I couldn’t do anything and was steal eating the American diet ish, then once I was healed I was 205 lbs and feeling sluggish and terrible, lasted for a while and tried to fix it but cutting calories did nothing and was just discouraging, then, after visiting a friend, he told me about carnivore from Joe Rogan and asked me to look into it cause he saw I got fat. I did, tbh I was really skeptical, but tried it, I’m not gonna lie, the first two weeks were really hard and discouraging, diarrhea, headaches, cravings, hunger, but… getting past it was amazing, my skin is cleared up, sleep is nicer, I no longer crave sugar, only meat, I’ve lost almost 18 damn lbs in 4 1/2 weeks after starting, and have clarity of mind. I feel healthier then ever, my plan is to eat like this preferably for ever, and this is, tbh, how all humans should try to eat, I have strayed from it every once in a while but always get on track and it isn’t too damaging, but overall, it is amazing.
2 Full weeks on carnivore so far, excited to keep going and see where this takes me. Been watching your videos and the Steak & Butter Gal and Zero Carb Life. I have been suffering from SLE and Hashimotos for almost 10 years, my inflammation is out of control, and I'm only 35... this is one of my first real attempts to heal myself without taking more meds (I am already on 4) please wish me luck and pray !! Only thing I am fearful of is becoming too skinny (I have no desire to lose weight, just inflammation) I am already on the small side
@@andyc7747yeah, I’m severely addicted, I’m going with the all-in approach. I know if I tell myself I’ll ween off of sugar and carbs, I’ll never do it. I appreciate your response!
I was stuck at 210 Lbs for about 2 years eating a “well balanced diet” of lean meats, plants and carbs and always felt hungry, tired and miserable ! On carnivore diet for 1 month and 2 weeks and down to 191 lbs ! And I have never felt better !! High Energy ! Good mood ! Appetite always satisfied ! Best decision I have made ! Thank you sir for true facts !
Thank you Brother ✌️ You and Chaffee tell the truth. And many others. The comments of the people and there experiences are amazing! Truth! I AM Grateful! Carnivore 2 weeks. Amazing things are happening to me and this body. 56 year young male here loving life more than ever. Best day of my life! And I thought yesterday was. Thank you to All! 💙🌎🌍🌏💚 🥩🥓🥚
Dear Doctor Berry, thanks so much for your work. I do not need to do labs for inflammation, I can feel the relief each day and now a whole week without pain killers ! Amazing !Thanks for your tireless informative work, as my friends worry about me as I was vegetarian most of my life and they cannot understand why meat is making me well ! Keep it up.
-70 lbs in 13 weeks spoke for itself to my relatives at Christmas. (BTW, I did a couple of "cheat days" to eat normal holiday meals, and between the insulin and BP spikes I could literally HEAR my pulse after eating. Couldn't wait to get back on track!)
I decided to give it a chance and started keto (15g carb) this month before going 100% carnivore next month. I’ve noticed weight gain so far because I don't have too much weight to lose and my body is clearly enjoying and asking for more fat. And even though I’m gaining weight, I’ll give what my body is asking until I get fat-adapted and start losing weight. I always did a low-fat diet, so I think it makes sense to gain weight since my body is adapting to receive and process so much fat out of the blue. I already feel all the benefits. :)
Eating fat does not make you fat. It's your higher fat consumption AND the face you are still eating carbs. After you ease into dropping those carbs, you will see a weight loss. Good luck and congrats on changing your life for the better.
@@inshaparveen8003see Dr Berry's vids on Proper Human Diet. eat the right foods, minimize/eliminate carbs, eat to satiety. your body will find its correct weight. don't worry about calories.
@@meatdogI tried upping the fat 5 years into carnivore and gained 20 lbs over the course of about 4 months. I've probably never been in ketosis, and I'm guessing that's why the added calories packed on the pounds.
Gm here from nyc , I am new to a carnivore diet, have been on keto for 8 months and I am feeling so much more energetic my a1c 7.5 to 5.2. My blood pressure was 185/85 , now 107/67.. lost 70 lbs. But at a stand still so decided to try carnivore. Fingers crossed I can lose a bit more now..I was 320lbs now at 250lbs so still have a bit to lose ..BTW I have this next door app . And shared your videos as well as my results and so far 4 people in 2 weeks have messaged me how they want to try this phd..I'm so happy to hear that ..we all need to spread the word about a phd..it's working maybe with people on a PhD there won't be so many crazies out there lol..have a wonderful day God bless you all..let's keep this going ..I'm loving it
I've been eating zero carb for 6 years. My sis went through cancer treatment last year and has had bad joint pain ever since. I finally convinced her to try cutting out carbs...just for a month, and in 3 days, her joint pain has gone.
You are one of the best here on youtube. Sten Ekberg is another one really good to explain how it works. I eat mostly meat, butter cream. Add some plants only for taste and variations. I have fell off the vagons before and have no good explanations. But if you ones was addicted to carbs you better stay off them. As long as you do that the cravings is under control. It is crazy how much better you feel when you skip the carbs.
I have been doing mainly carnivore for 7 months. I have lost 40 pounds, lowered my BP, A1C and cholesterol. My acid reflux went away literally the first night after not eating any plants! I donate plasma twice a week, and payment depends on weight, so I don't want to go under 180 just yet, so I have an occasional, home-made 'keto' treat. I know what to do to lose more weight when I am ready to, and I'm happy to feel so much healthier now.
Enjoying this video as I eat oxtails and hard-boiled eggs swimming in butter. I totally agree with what Dr. Berry is saying. This is definitely the proper human diet!
Watching Dr Berry for months, finally went carnivore 48 days ago... can't even begin to say how much better I feel.physcally, mentally, emotionally!! It is only going to get better! Already down 14 pounds, eating like crazy, loving the meat!
Great video Ken Berry!!! well done! very succinct and well presented. I'm so glad you addressed the Proper Human Diet for what it is... ancestrally appropriate whole food for humans and not some sales gimmick or 'new diet' or fad. The words 'Keto' or 'Carnivore' have such a stigma attached. Again, thanks for spelling this out. This video is very watchable and makes a whole lot of sense. (ketovore, with all the benefits for 2.5 years now, also a proud tribe member and supporter).
I began the diet couple month ago. I went from 188lb to 166lb. I had a fatty liver, my AST/ALT enzymes were out of control. In the hundreds each. I am happy to say the are now in the low end of normal. My cholesterol actually went down from 300 to 260 which I know is not the case in everyone doing this diet, but for me that is the case. I used to eat carbs in tons so my body does much better eating protein and fat. Also, my testosterone went up 200 points.
@@memywifemylife9836 I wish you both good luck. I would recommend to include some fasting into your diet if possible as that will make you lose weight faster.
Hello from Canada❤ My one year carniversary A1C 5.1 pre diabeties gone Blood pressure meds gone Cholesterol meds gone Waiting for test results for fatty liver. Im sure its better than it was 40 pounds gone(could of been more but had to get off Dr Kiltz's ice cream😅😅 Pain gone My nephrologist told me i had ketones in my urine. I playrd stuoid and asked if that was a bad thing? Her response was "you're probably not eating enough". Seriously?? Thank you so much for all you're help Doctor Berry
6 months in and 3rd try in 3 years. I'm doing way better than the last trys. I'm so grateful for the day I first happened upon your video. I was desperate for health and found the answer here.
First off I want to thank you Dr Berry for showing me the Carnivore diet. I've been on it for about Seven weeks now and I just did labs on Monday the 15th. I'm a type two diabetic and my A1C went from 8.9 to 6.2! I've lost almost Twenty pounds and my pants are getting looser and my belt is getting tighter! I can actually see myself having a great summer! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Started 2nd week of Jan 2024. Weight was 279. Today May 2 weight 217. Knee pain gone. Energy tremendous. Goal weight is 185. Wife started 1 month ago. Hashimotos symptoms have disappeared. It works and no hunger or cravings. Not my diet now, its my permanent lifestyle.
My biggest problem last couple of years was bloating and inflammation, than cravings and low focus at work. For years trying to find solution and I'm almost 53. Been keto/law carb last 8 years and although it helped tremendously, I still had inflammation, bloating, etc. Only when I went full carnivore, all, I mean all issues disappeared. I stopped eating it few months ago because I am generally not a big meat eater and missed fruits and vegetables and all my problems came back. So now, going back to meat. Thank you kindly for all information and advices you put here!
You’ve already witnessed for yourself the many benefits of the carnivore diet so just be patient, take your vitamin P daily, and welcome back to a Proper Human Diet my friend!! 😊😊😊
7 months carnivore and down 34 lbs at 55 years of age. My blood pressure is down to “normal” at 177/70 from 145/95 and there are so many other health improvements that I cannot even list them all here. I cannot fathom going back to eating what most people think is “normal”. Everyone just says “your cholesterol must be off the chart” as they stuff their face with sugar and carbs. As I become more fit than my friends who are 10-15 years younger than me their rebuttal is weakening. Thank you Dr. Berry.
Thank you dr. Berry. You are the best of the best doctor in the world👍🫶💪🧠🫀🫁🦷🦴👀. You saved my life in 2022. I thank you from the bottom of my heart❤. God bless you sir🙏 you have and will allways have my respect✋️👌👌👍
I'm currently 54 borderline diabetic, moderately high blood pressure, and 278 lbs. I've had 2 lower back surgeries and major neck surgery. I'm starting this diet today.
6 years carnivore diet, thank you Dr.Berry, thank you Butter Bob. Many others, but you two really put it in strait forward everyday American terms ❤😊❤❤
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
Thank you. 77 and on day 2. Just the idea of doing this is rather exciting. Now day 14 and starting to reap the benefits. 👍 Now day 51 and had a lot of issues with dizziness etc low blood sugar, lack of bile, but all good now I think. I hope.
Thank you Dr Wolfman I've been having a couple of issues with my heart and ever since I've been eating beef like you told me to I've been feeling a lot better breathing better a bit more energy thank you Dr Ken Berry❤ I call you Dr Wolfman out of kind love you see I'm Hispanic and we Hispanic people when we have a good spot in our heart for somebody we joke with them and we are kind of humorous with them it is a sign that we respect you and really consider you special❤
@@warrior7787 Oh no! Remember you can have fish, chicken, eggs, butter. Also, you can eat a ketogenic or ketovore diet and still reap the benefits. Dr. Berry describes a ketogenic diet as covering half your plate with meat and animal products, and half your plate with low-glycemic vegetables. That may really help with your boredom.
@@warrior7787 Allow yourself to have some low glycemic vegetables or fruits. I'm the same, but something as simple as olives or strawberries helps break the monotonous.
I have viewed a lot of your videos before I decided to try carnivore diet. I started September 10, 2023 . It’s now January 24, 2024 . 4 1/2 months I started at 401 lbs I am now 329 lbs Lost 72 lbs 1 week now “ OMAD”
Thank you Dr Berry. Love these vidios. You’re really helping me to stay on Carnivore. My blood glucose’s is so much better. 5 weeks in the carnivore diet. Lots of improvements in my body. 11 kl down. Thank you for all your help in these video’s❤.
This is concise, short, and excellent! Perfect to send to a friend who needs help! Dr. Berry does this so well and really cares. He also looks healthy and young. May God protect him and his precious family! 🙏🏼🥰☺️
when I was carnivore, I was healthy. Before carnivore, I had PCOS, I was borderline Diabetic. I had bad body odor, I had athletes food that would not go away. I didn't ovulate on my own, I had to take clomid to get pregnant with my daughters. I did carnivore for 3 months. I lost 65 pounds over 100 inches off my body. My PCOS was gone. I ovulated on my own and got pregnant with my son. I had A1C of 4.0. My body odor was gone, My feet healed up. I got pregnant and meat and eggs made me so sick. So I had to go back to eating fruit veggies etc. I am now going to go back to carnivore and hope to get back to being healthy. and maybe have one more baby. I just turned 40 years old. My son is 18 months old.
I am going on a carnivore diet. I worked in a doctors office where everyone is overweight. Mega carbs on lunchroom table. Struggle to keep weight off. Currently 190 pound, female, 68 and so tired and lazy feeling. I love meat and have always been told, especially by the docs I worked for, "Dont eat to much meat, you will get a heart attack. I never believed them but did take up eating a lot of carbs, bread, oatmeal.
Day 2 of carnivore and down 1.6kg in 24hrs. The water is just emptying out of me! Hopefully it helps my PTSD because right now I just want to straighten up all the books in your bookshelf! Love your content thanks!
I used to smoke. Then I substituted chips and crackers after I quit because I needed to be consuming something all the time. But now I'm on carnivore and don't feel the need for junk food anymore. I still sometimes eat compulsivly, but it doesn't make me fat. I'm actually losing weight and have more energy. And it's all because of Dr. Berry. I'm not shilling, it's the truth. By the way I'm 75.
Thank you Dr. Berry for this life changing information. I've been obese to morbidly obese since 5th grade. I'm 64 now. I haven't been to a traditional so called doctor for 4 years other than my DOT physical because of the crap he was spewing. He never asked me what I ate but told me to switch everything white for brown (rice, potatoes etc). I hadn't eaten those things for years. The highest I had been in his office was 328 but at 283 he told me I should consider bariatric surgery. (That’s what his computer screen was telling him) and.... we were going on statins as a preventative measure. I have not been back. I started your lifestyle change on January 29, 2024 at 306. LOVE it!! Most of my knee and leg pain is gone. My energy level is fantastic!! Get home from work after a 12 hour day and still am able to get household and farm chores done. Today, 3/16/24 I'm at 288😮 This is totally a way of life that is fantastic!
Hi Doctor. Many thanks for all your videos and reference information. I went carnivore in June 2023 and I've lost 50lbs and I'm now exercising well. I caught another one of your videos where you talked about insulin resistance and on reflection I definitely had the signs of it. Now those signs have vanished. So thank you, you're a good man!
I was strict WFPB (vegan) for 7 years and the past year was awful. Constantly hungry, bloated, gassy, and my hormones were making me such a mental mess 😢 I did a complete flip by switching to carnivore 7 months ago and I have never felt better! I’m full and content (never felt that before!), all other symptoms are gone, mental health is improved and no money spent on expensive hormone tests. I’m 63 and my joints are great, had 2 total knee replacements while vegan and they’re feeling great. My strength is awesome, weight issues gone, BF% all time low and skeletal muscle mass great! My plan was a 3 day trial, but the results were so immediate I couldn’t stop. You are my main source of information Dr Berry and I thank you for what you do!!
as a healthy 27 year old id like to share my experience with the carnivore diet. i did 6 weeks as an experiment. the first 2 weeks sorta sucked. After that, i noticed i started to sleep better at night, i was waking up early for work, as opposed to waiting until the last second to get up and i had more energy/felt more positive through the day. I enjoyed vegetables and fruit too much to maintain this diet. When i quit, i noticed the biggest effects. I realized that sugary sweets would absolutely wreck me. It would cause inflammation and back/joint pain. Too much junk food gives me stomach problems. prior to trying carnivore, i always had arthritis like joint pain. sometimes, so bad it would keep me up at night. Now I know what was causing it, and i notice the way different foods affect me in a negative way (mostly processed sugar). Anyways, if anyone is considering carnivore "just because," absolutely give it a go and see if you learn anything about the way specific foods affect you
I think eliminating carbs might also mean less doctors visits… I could be wrong about this, but as far as I can tell, most bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites feed on sugars and carbohydrates. This means less infections, less colds and flu’s and less vulnerability to fungal infections. Dr Berry, am I correct about this?
I’ve been ketovore for the past yr and I have not gotten sick, not even a sniffle, used to get headaches all the time, but haven’t had one headache in a year… coincidence?? I think not 😊😊😊
I was 385lbs 10 years ago. Lost about 100 over the years doing martial arts and such. Wasn’t until I started eating carnivore until I really got my proper body weight back. Without lose hanging skin. I’m currently 215lbs. 6’3” 53 years old. Autoimmune disorder that I had for years is now gone no more meds for that. For anyone wondering just start eating meat and eggs in butter with some bacon and you won’t regret it. I now eat some carbs but never eating sugar again. Xylitol is a great substitute but it will disrupt Ketosis.
Amazing work and discipline my friend! You deserve to enjoy every moment of your new life after your transformative journey back to wellness! How inspiring!🤗
I’m very interested in your story. I’m about to start carnivore to see how my autoimmune response is. I’ve given myself 10 weeks to see if it makes any difference. I’m due to start the process to begin using humoron mid February and I’m really hoping I see an improvement in my condition before I have to commit to a lifetime of medicine
@@Born_4_Battle ahhh thank you . Good health to ya.
Xylitol is no bueno my friend.
@@richardpaterson3116 i've read where some do not start seeing the benefits until 90 days in. Maybe give yourself a little longer. I also have an autoimmune disorder and wanting to do this diet. Good luck to you!
I was listening to another podcast that said eating red meat increases your risk of diabetes. I answered that red meat does not cause diabetes and my fasting insulin level was 5.2 Someone else answered that per the Harvard School it increases it by 68%. I answered back, I am almost 70, eating red meat all my life and I am still waiting on becoming a diabetic. No more response. 😂
💯
Same here,same age.Funny that eh!
The goal was always to scare you with lies that would prevent you from ever trying a carnivore diet. In my case they have failed miserably because I feel great with endless energy and I'm 73.
😂🎉
Harvard published a study in October re carnivore bemefits and a huge success they reported was for diabetes!! All people lmeds went off I think and every saw an improvement!!
👍👍👍 No more inflammation, no more anxiety, no more depression. Healed life long gut issues! Yay for carnivore! Keep preaching it Dr. Berry!
No inflammation, no more depression, no meds, no overweight and I am vegetarian. I love animals except on my plate.
With the gut issues were you taking any supplements? I'm carnivore and using broccoli sprouts , phgg and GOS . They help with constipation on carnivore
@@xxxx-qo9dh lier, lier, pants on fire!😂
Yup, I tossed out the vegetarian diet the 7th Day Adventist MD brainwashed me into at 30 and the next 45 yrs. A diagnosis of the Autoimmune & Menopause hell with screaming pains of 24/7 AS arthritis. Her predictions: for the rest of your life you will take....Hilariously, that was all I needed to shove the finger in her face and started seeking foods as medicine. From All Greens Patterson diet I ranged to Arthritis Health Canada diet to Autoimmune Health Canada advice...to land on Carnivore, after keto helped somewhat. Now 5 yrs in as carnivore I am almost completely balanced. No pains since I started meats, revised my minds positions and ignorance to face my made up blood phobia/gross feelings to learn how to cook meat best and love my multiple freedoms that eating a Strict Carnivore diet. I love my Meats and fats 60-40 for me; but the Gates- Extinctionist globalists WEF death advice can go straight to hell of their own making.
As if they even eat Bugs, never spew CO2 (they are punishing us the innocent with ) and guess what, yeah they always think of our well being and believe in telling the truth always!
@guitarszen wtf are you on about?
I am 84 , 311 days on carnivore. Lowered blood pressure, pain in knees gone, arthritis in fingers gone, sleeping great , lost 27 lbs. I eat 4eggs and 3pieces of bacon, steak or tri tip for dinner with butter.. A1C down
I’m 81…yea my age people…
Great job Barbara! 👍🥳
Barbra eats donuts, I saw her do it !
Good going, Barbara. Having a hard time getting my doctor on board but finally took me off of one BP Rx. I won't stop eating this way. Not having the cravings is wonderful. Many years of better health to all of us.❤😊
My 87 year old mother is interested in starting carnivore. This will be an encouragement to her.
I am carnivore now for over 12 months and it has cured many issues associated with inflammation. Gums stopped bleeding, ankles stopped hurting in mornings, back ache gone, neck ache gone, sleep much better, stopped snoring, clearer mind, happier, no gas, skin improved and skin tags went away. There are more benefits ..........its been a fantastic journey.
A team of researchers at Loma Linda University in the United States has shown vegetarian men live for an average of 10 years longer than non-vegetarian men - 83 years compared to 73 years. For women, being vegetarian added an extra 6 years to their lives, helping them reach 85 years on average.
I start tomorrow.
Please wish me luck.
I'm doing it to help fight a couple of illnesses.
Best of luck to anyone else just starting
Hoping for a great result for you! I was diagnosed with IBD 8 months ago. Nothing was working, the steroids stopped the bleeding but all other symptoms continued to get worse. I'm 1 month into a carnivore diet and so far the results are promising. After 3 days I had my first solid poop in like 6 months. Bloating gone, weird gurgling stomach gone, general upset stomach gone. I still have a bit of urgency when I need to poop and occasionally have a small bit of mucus shortly after. Coming from where I was though is night and day in the difference. Still early days and have alot of healing to do but hoping for the best, hoping for the best for you too!
How's the diet going? Well I hope!
You won’t regret it. I’m 14 months healed of chronic fatigue and migraines. Almost bedbound for two years. Healed!
Thank you. 77 and on day 2. Just the idea of doing this is rather exciting.
Now day 5. Had some strange issues, but now have an aversion to my previous diet.
Now day 6 and I've lost my appetite. Not hungry at all. Tummy has settled down. Feeling great compared to b4.
Now day 14 and had a couple of bad days but starting to feel the benefits. Walked further today than I have in years. Felt energy coming back. 👍 Day 15 -18 went down. Low blood sugar. Hypoglycemic symptoms. Experimenting with myself as I try to fix this. 🙄😜
Day 19 added a very small piece of pumpkin and potato to fatty roast lamb and blood sugar came back to normal. 😥
Day 20 assessing what to keep and what to minimise, and when, leading up to full carnivore again by day 30.
You can do this!!! I’m 5 weeks in, and the photos shown on this video like donuts, fries, and pasta actually gave me an aversion reaction. I don’t even miss them, and this said by a former foodie-hardly any food I didn’t like. Though I am only about 10-15 pounds over my ideal weight, I have a number of health problems I am hoping to resolve. Best wishes to you!
I ate carnivore last year for 7 months. I felt great. Lost 20 lbs. No more skin problems and Seborrheic dermatitis, no more heart burn, no more high blood sugar issues, no more cravings, no more high blood pressure, no more sore joints and walking carefully down the stairs! (I'm 50 yrs old) Then, during halloween season, I ate one piece of chocolate. Come Christmas I gained 15 lbs back and felt sick and tired again. So, I don't want to go off of carnivore again. I've been back on it for 2 and 1/2 weeks again and feeling so much better. I've lost 5 lbs already and I can't believe how much better I feel and look. My face looks like I lost 20 lbs already. I'm definitely a sugar addict and need to keep listening to these videos and reading about the benefits of carnivore to stick with it. They are like my 12 step meetings for sugar! Thank you so much Dr. Berry. I'm so grateful! 😀
It happens to me too. I use these videos to reset my mind 😅
Similar thing here. Christmas eve, Christmas day and boxing day (the day after Christmas) I ate with the family. Felt a bit off, headaches etc.
I highly doubt one piece of chocolate did that.
@@kalnwi2023I think she means that that one piece of chocolate made her fall off the wagon for two months. But now she’s back on track! 👍
Same here. I told myself two thanksgivings ago " I think its ok to eat what I want to on holidays" I have been struggling to stay on carnivore ever since. People don't let your brain lie to you. Stay away from the garbage food. There is no benefit whatsoever.
Just finished my 90 day challenge. I lost 46 pounds.
YES!!!!🎉🎉🎉
That’s awesome. Congratulations 🎉
@@teresaf.gargano8088 Thank you
Hazaa
👍👍
Milestone met: I started carnivore 6 days ago, thanks to you guys. Today, after 35+ years, I ate scrambled eggs. I have had a psychological aversion to eggs most of my life, but my brain is now apparently shifting with determination to get healthy! ❤
Try brown butter scrambled eggs. So good, it's the only way I cook them now.
Fry some cut up bacon in the pan and then dump eggs in and scramble them all together. This has been my craving for the last week. Don't pour out any of the bacon fat.
I like my scrambled eggs with a dash of heavy cream. I scramble medium high and add additional butter on top after cooked through.😋🤤
Yay!!! 👏 You've got this! Eggs are so good for you!
And if you used salt and a little bit of heavy cream, whip it up before scrambling in bacon grease or butter, they'll taste really good! 👌
Happened to me too.
My friend was just diagnosed with cancer at the left base of his tongue. The nutritionist came in with a list of ingredients he can use to make smoothies. The foods were all carbs, sugary fruits, grains, and seeds. Recommendations included low protein, no fats, and fibrous veggies. This is the advice Adventist Health nutrition "experts" are giving to their cancer patients. When I stated that sugars feed cancer cells, she dismissed it as being without basis. I gave her back the list and we asked her to leave the exam room. 🤦🏻♀️
My friend going thru radiation for prostate cancer was tolerable to eat high carbs!!!!🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Sounds like Keto Chow Core (the beef protein version) shake mix might be something that could be used for your friend. Perhaps you already know about it...
They told the same thing to my step mom and step sister with their respective cancers. 🤦🏼♀️
If you’ve not already heard of him I highly recommend your friend research the cancer work of Dr. Thomas Seyfried.
@@monicacollins8289 Why does the 'medical system' recommend & supply the worst meals to its patients? This is awful. This is wrong. If you're in hospital you should be fed 'Healing, healthy' food, not food that feeds cancer & inflammation!
My husband and I have been on a mostly carnivore diet for 3 months now. We do eat a small amount of garlic, onions, and avocado. The benefits are impressive. High energy, restful sleep, enhanced mental focus, almost no joint pain, skin improvements, weight loss, good mental state.
My husband no longer has acid reflux and doesn't need to take his medication. I usually have asthma attacks every day in the winter. I haven't had even one for more than 2 months now. I haven't had to use my light box for my seasonal affective disorder. I'm 76 and the only medication I am taking is pig thyroid. Our food bill has gone down because we don't purchase any processed food and don't eat snacks. We eat two meals a day and IF from 6 PM to 10 am. No cravings.
We said we would try it for 3 months. With all the benefits we have experienced so far we won't stop now. We are grateful to have come across the proper human diet.❤
I just realized I have not used my inhaler for 3 days...I usually was gasping for that inhaler every morning and night. So happy to see its demise.Have only been on Carnevore for 3 weeks. It is truly a miracle, plus lost 3 dress sizes. I am 74. Good wishes to you and your husband, Gabby from NZ.❤
4 yrs on Keto, 7 weeks on carnivore. I’m 6’3”, 61 yrs and in amazing shape! I’ve lost and am keeping off 100lbs(310 to 210). I’ve also come off of all my “fat old guy meds”.😊The Carnivore way of eating is leaning me out and plumping up my muscles. Some regular physical activity accentuates the metabolic and psychological benefits! Thanks for being a wonderful health coach Dr. Berry!😊
Well done you!
That's great news! I'm only on day 11 myself and already seeing a change and loving it. EXCEPT for one thing... black coffee in the morning. I miss it, and I was wondering if other carnivors still enjoy it, or should I stay away?
Dr berry drinks coffee
@@chrisjenn226 I just started watching some of Dr.Berry's videos and so far I like him. I guess I haven't seen that video where he says he drinks coffee or may have missed it, but thank you for the feedback. I believe in the morning I'm going to have me a cup of black coffee!
He did stop drinking it for awhile but I believe started drinking it again he does say you can drink it though I actually switched to decafe only 1 every day or 2 day feel much better
I lost 90lbs in 2021 listening to you! I am healthy and feel like I got my life back and have kept the weight off for the 1st time in my life at 53. Thank You 🎉❤.
Congratulations 😊
Me as well. 55yrs old 😊
That's awesome congrats!
Congratulations. Great job.
What did you eat and the fats used?
I started carnivore 3 days ago. I ate my breakfast at 10:30. I didn't get hungry until 5 pm. I am weaning myself off all other foods. It has been going well.
Good luck ! Hang in there !
You’ll notice after a few days that your body will start flushing the bad things. DON’T WORRY: YOU’RE NOT SICK! After 2 weeks, you’ll feel like a new person! Oh and don’t worry if you’re not hungry for longer periods either. Your body will tell you when to eat. The sweet spot is 1-2 solid meals per 24h cycle.
10:30 seems quite the norm. I have ham and eggs ant 10.30. Second breakfast at 12.00 - usually a pound of beef (burgers or mince or similar). By 8 or 9pm I can usualy just about neck a ribeye steak, but sometimes I fail to finish it lol. It's crazy how satiated and full you feel.
Been 33 days now, how are you doing with the carnivore lifestyle?
@@MikeAndNaryI'm curious to know too. Personally, I had a weight stall for over a month. Last weekend I ate an absolute **** ton of carbs in the form of packets of indo noodles. In the space of 4 days I dropped 14 lbs!!! I was just constanty P***ing it out. Back to only meat and am back losing 4lb over a week. 12lbs to go untill I reach my goal. I'm off all meds too which is an amazing bonus. Start weight 20 stone. End weight should be around 14.5 stone.
February 6 will be a year for me!!! I love how God had me stumble upon one of your videos and from that day He’s had me on this new journey with Him!!! I will always remember what He said a month into this, “not only am I healing the outside but I am also healing the inside out too” I stand by that promise throughout this journey!!! I used to be in sooooo much pain with food… now I don’t!!! Praise God and thank you Dr Berry for sharing your testimony and wisdom!! Forever grateful!! ❤🎉
🙌🏻
BARUCH HASHEM!!!
It wasn't God it was Allah. Mashallla
We serve a mighty God, The great physician.
One other thing God said to me 2 weeks into this new journey with Him was “you can be spiritually fit and that’s a weapon.. but when you become spiritually fit and physically fit NOW THAT’S A WEAPON!!” 👏🏻🙌🏻 We are for sure VICTORIOUS through Him!! God for sure gets all the Glory!!! Hallelujah!!
2 plus years carnivore now. Decided to go strict lion diet for the month of January. 17 days in now, and feeling amazing! I have had my labs checked every 6 months for the last 2 years, and its amazing to me that they just keep getting better and better! I reversed type 2, high blood pressure, fatty liver, low testosterone, autoimmune issues, and came off of all medications. My cholesterol actually came down. Which was weird to me. But I know it can have the opposite effect on some. I think the reason is because carnivore meets us where the person is in relation to how much damage we have done to ourselves individually. Which is why some of us loose weight faster than others, and why labs can vary to some degree. I use to not be able to walk more than 2k steps in a day, and it was extremely painful to do it. I would have to use mobility scooters to get around with my family when we would go to places like Disney. I can now walk upwards of 30k steps in a day, and I am fine. I will be 50 years old in July of this year, and am going to Q school for the PGA to play professional golf! Finding YT videos like these with Dr. Berry, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Baker, talking about Carnivore, no doubt about it SAVED MY LIFE! and a little side note... It also saved my mothers life. She was stage 4 CKD, and now after a little more than a year, has kidney function in the 90% range verified by nephrologist and labs. She was either going to need a kidney transplant/ dialysis or die due to kidney failure. But took a chance on the diet that I was talking to her so much about, and had helped me. Shes now healthier than she has been in a long time. Meat heals.
I had the same experience with my Cholesterol. It used to be 189 on SAD; ketovore pushed it to 378. But after 2 years of Carnivore it dropped to 275, which was amazing to me since I ate pounds of meat & fat. My body had a ton of healing it needed to go through. My weight is finally stable and I'm stronger at almost 63 than I've ever been my whole life. My young adult kids can't keep up with me! 😄
So you stopped eating at McDonald's and saw health improvement, imagine that 😂
@@fragitudedick comment.
@@fragitude I don't eat at McDonalds - ever. Not sure where you got that from. Eating meat and butter (fat) doesn't equate to McNasty's.
Perhaps not anymore but I strongly suspect because I've seen it numerous times that carnivore dieters were previously on the SAD diet and no great surprise that when they cut out processed junk they solve some of their health issues. It's really no surprise because what you were eating before was so shit, lol and my original comment was directed to the op, not you but it works on 90% of you people as you've already admitted to eating SAD.
I went LCHF WOE in 2019 & I believe it saved my life. I will be 81 on aug. 21 2014 and have zero pains. I dropped 100 lbs. off my old carcass . I get 100 grams minimum animal protien daily. I also eat a very very small amount veggies. I maintain 170 lbs wt. and am 5 ft. 8 in tall. I exercise a little & pedal my trike all over town. I may kick the bucket tomorrow but am living and enjoying life
And that's what matters. Living life to the fullest while you're here
Awesomeness
"Cows should stop eating grass because it's inflammatory" Ken you nailed it when you said that. Brilliant!!!! Thanks man for keeping it real.
It’s actually a very weak and illogical argument. I’m all for the carnivore diet but I will point out bullshit when I see it. A “Dr” saying that is just ridiculous.
After a couple years of menopause symptoms,I suddenly became pregnant at 44 Dr berry!! What?! It's all your fault😂 well, partially.
My husband had a massive heart attack in July.
We immediately became serious and went full carnivore.
By October we were feeling A LOT BETTER. hes better than he was before the heart attack.
And now , me, a grandmother of 3, is pregnant. 😂
Makes me smile! God bless you. My Mother was 43 when she had my little brother.
Congratulations! If a boy name him Kenneth, if a girl Neisha LOL
CONGRATULATIONS!! That’s the the best carnivore symptom yet! 😂🩵🩷
Well congratulations!
😂👏
Starting carnivore diet was the best decision I’ve ever made.
My constant snacking has stopped
My inflammation has decreased so much I still can’t believe the results.
I sleep better
My energy is amazing
But more importantly I feel fantastic!
How long did it take to get those results
@@tevinbenoit933 about a month after starting, then came a bit of foggy brain situation but all cleared after a month and a half
3 months later I still haven’t had the urge to snack, energy levels have become stable, still no inflammation,feeling great, I do struggle with eating meat somedays but I just change the type of meat and it quickly goes away.
@@WelcomeTooo How come people say it’s bad for us I’m 19 and wanna try it out is it actually bad or ??
@ I haven’t had any problems and have been on carnivore for a year now. Ask your doctor to preform regularly blood tests if you are worried.🙂
Hey Doc, I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired. Been overweight my whole life, psoriasis, and many other issues. It's day 1, thanks for all your info and encouragement.
You got this
Power on through - you'll be very glad you did! Good luck
Stick with BBBE’s … I’m doing it for Health!!
Stick with it!!! You will sometimes feel WORSE before you get better. Cravings are hard. Keep something like hard boiled eggs available for when you are craving sugar and need something quick to fight the craving. But you WILL feel better!!! Keep us updated!!! You've got this!
Please give this six months and your life will change forever. Keep going
Have lost 100 lbs in 10 months!
What did you eat and the fats used?
@tatianesoarespereira I started with keto, and cut out all ultraprocessed food. After a few months my carbs dropped basically to zero and I ate steak, ground beef, eggs, bacon, lamb, and sardines.
@tatianesoarespereira I also eat avocado and cheese from time to time. For fats I use butter and ghee, lard, tallow and coconut oil sometimes. And I always save the fat when I cook bacon 🥓 😋
That is amazing! Good for you!!
What is important to know if you want to start a carnivore diet but have no gall bladder?
I’m 76. Hadn’t had any libido at all for maybe 10 years. While eating mostly vegan. After several months doing carnivore, all of sudden, whoa, what’s that!? 😂
And it got rid of my pain from RA. It’s been 2 yrs now. Yay!
@@cari3157 how long it took to get rid the pain from the RA, after you start the carnivore diet ? I have RA also ;(
I'm in my 6th week of carnivore and i love it. All aches and pains from old injuries are gone. My balance has improved as well when i noticed that i could put on my pants standing up the other day. I lost about 14 pounds after week 4, but seemed to have plateaued, at the moment. I'm also bursting with energy with my workouts. Mental clarity and a calm and relaxed mind are a bonus, too. I'm sticking with this for a while.
Exactly. When I stopped eating gluten my pain stopped. It’s just amazing.
Do you find it to be expensive? Thats whats holding me back.
Try some form of sardine or fat fast to get you to break your plateau
My grocery bill dropped by ⅔. My shopping trip dropped by the coordinating amount of time also! Meat, dairy and out! Gotten so much time back also! Cleaning up my kitchen, preparing meals. Omad and 2mad, has given me back so many hours! And time is money so I've also gotten it back in that form.@@suzannecarrier287
@@suzannecarrier287
No bc I only eat 2 meals/day and I don't buy snack food. If you calculate cost per pound of cookies, chips, etc., they cost more price wise and health wise. No longer needing meds have saved me $120/month, which I now use to buy meat. No longer needing deodorant, expensive dental paraphernalia, and expensive lotions & potions to mask acne and other skin conditions have saved me a small fortune. That savings goes to my meat. I don't buy bottled beverages anymore. I no longer patronize restaurants so that money goes toward my meat. I shop sales, buy in bulk, and cut my own meat. I've learned how to cook cheaper cuts of meat so I don't feel a need to eat ribeye or other expensive steaks for every meal. It's entirely doable.
Hey Dr. Berry, just a quick note to thank you for all of your hard work in helping people out. I've put your advise into practice and am amazed at the results. I'm 5'7" and went from 235 lbs down to 212 lbs in less than a month. I'm primarily eating a carnivore diet with the occasional avocado or glob of peanut butter (I love peanut butter). I have transitioned to eating only once a day, and the transformation in how I feel is remarkable. Here are some of the improvements I've experienced in such a short span of time: significant weight loss, a notable reduction in joint pain, liberation from depression and anxiety, no more sleep apnea, a surge in energy levels, clearer skin, a substantial drop in blood sugar levels from an average of 14 to around 5, a gradual decrease in blood pressure, a shift from constant overheating to minimal sweating, and heightened mental clarity. Thank you once again for your exceptional contributions to the well-being of others! Keep up the good work!!!
Im on day 4 and love peanut butter too. Still eating a small amount. Did have some avocado today. Was craving it for some reason.
I started this diet (life style) on 2 Jan and love it! I have lost 10-15 pounds since I stared. I had type 2 diabetes until 3 days ago, my blood sugar is now below 100! I had acid reflux for years, it has gone away! I’m 60 years old, wish, this is a life saver! Wife started yesterday!
You are still a diabetic. Your A1C went down and you are probably are not on medicine anymore, but you are still a diabetic.
Awesome that answer a question I had 👍 thx 4 sharing
Keep going 🎉you’re doing so good. I’m in my 5week and my bloods are already down. Xx healing great.
Carnivore helped me with so many skin and mental issues, anxiety ect.
Thank you Dr Berry
Same. I can't believe my brain is at peace
I am hoping for the same results being on the carnivore diet hoping it well read my anxiety and tinnitus.
Happy to hear for you! But man that wasn’t the case for me, I was almost lion for 9 month and depression and anxiety got worse for me. I honestly think being that strict didn’t help me.
@danajacobs9097 that's a good way to put it.
@@_Solaris yes.
I've been Carnivore BBBE for two weeks. Other than feeling good, my floaters are gone 😊. Thank you kindly Dr Berry ❤.
Did you eat anything else besides BBBE....like bone in chicken ....or you just stuck to those 4 things
@@lisak5804 chicken wings, shrimp, salmon,chicken tenders w/ egg white protein powder, beef gelatin and pork rind breading fried in organic beef tallow.

You saved my life. Three weeks ago I had heart problems - extrasistoles, arrhytmia, my heart was pounding like a drum, skipping, for entire days. I ended up in the ER, since then I've done a blood panel, thyroid full panel and a heart ultrasound, EKG and carrotid doppler. I've started carnivore last April and due to some very stressful times (death in family, new job) I slipped some, but managed to go down 45 pounds. The heart problems were conclusively of mental stress origin, but the doctor said losing that weight and getting my organism in a better state probably made this 10x less of a problem for the entire body. My heart is strong and all parameters in order.
My LDL is in the upper normal range, HDL higher than before, triglyicerides almost non existent, blood sugar and insulin normal, electrolites normal, blood pressure 126/82, resting heart beat 65, no plaque whatsoever in the carrotids........ thyroid T4/T3/TSH/peroxidase/anti-G all normal... liver hormones all good except for GGT, which is also down from what it was (fatty liver)... No anemia! Been anemic for most of my life. They all wondered how an overweight person such as me (used to be 260 pounds), at 42, has better bloodwork and hormones than someone 20 years younger.
If I'd been the way I was it might not have gone this well for me. Thank you!
I'm back on track, doing great and one of the most incredible things I've experienced is NO MORE CONSTANT DAILY HEADACHES and much better sleep. Those things were killing me. Constant painkillers and exhaustion from not sleeping well. You start to notices things getting better in the first few weeks you didn't even know were bad, cause they've been so bad you forgot about it.
I eat grass fed beef, some port, bacon, eggs, fresh fatty fish, ghee, pork fat, tallow, ocassionally some hard ripe cheese and homemade kefir, long fermented.
Dr Berry, I would like to thank you. I found you around March 2023 and in May 2023 I switched to a carnivor diet. I'm a 51 year old English truck driver and I was 20.2 stone( 282lbs) I'm now 14.10 stone (197lbs) and feel better at 51 than I ever did at 31. I feel younger and look younger. I was also on antidepressants that I no longer take. I was either prediabetic or type 2 it was so close. My cholesterol levels are now below the UK average and my A1c is 5.3.
Without stumbling across one of your UA-cam videos I would still be in the same place I was and struggling to get off the couch. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will never go back to the way I used to eat, its now a PHD for the rest of my life. Thank you.
I'm 67 years old, female with my blood pressure at 170/110 for the past several years. Started carnivore 7 days ago and my bp has reduced every single day. Imagine my surprise today when it was 121/85. My arthritis is much improved, my severe knee pain on day #5 has completely vanished. My dry eyes are much improved. My weight is down 8 lbs.
Bless you
Well I’ve been an observer for quite awhile . Started ketovore 1-1-24. So far I’ve lost 10 #. Blood pressure has dropped from 150-180 over 85-110 to 115/80 consistently. Pulse has dropped from 80-95 to high 60’s. Bad knees have improved immensely. I was skeptical, now I’m amazed. For me variety is paramount. I eat eggs hard boiled, fried and made a pizza crust from an egg and coconut flour etc. meats have included hard salami, liver sausage, chuck roast beef stew, steak etc. Because of the variety I believe that I can do this long term. Thanks Ken
I don't do dairy, so no pizza for me, but apparently if you put some cooked chicken in a food processor with an egg and a bit of cheese, you can flatten it out and bake it for a plant-free pizza crust.
Makes sense. @@SarahDale111
I just want to say thank you for putting out these videos. Your plain and simple explanations and no-nonsense delivery are really very much appreciated and you have helped me so much on my road back to regaining my health. Which is why I thought I would share my journey with you and anyone else who might be interested enough to read.
For so many years I followed the recommended " Standard Western Diet" based on the Food Pyramid that the health department put out there. Which was largely based on research that was funded by the U.S. sugar, grain growers and other farming organizations.
During that time my health slowly deteriorated to the point where I had gained so much weight, had difficulty moving around and ended up having a mini stroke, which has messed up my balance and vision.
This time last year I was 130kg, pre diabetic, had high blood pressure, underactive thyroid, psoriasis, sciatica, fatty liver and inflammation.
On December 1st 2022, my 65th birthday, I cut out all sugar, grains, seed oils and alcohol.
I switched to the carnivore diet. Following your recommendations, I now only eat meat, fish, eggs and other unprocessed animal products such as liver, kidneys, hearts, and giblets etc.
Apart from onion, garlic and a few spices for flavouring, I do not eat any fruit or vegetables at all. I don't count calories and eat as much as I want, (usually around 1 - 1.5kg) until I have had enough. When my brain says I've had enough I stop eating and only eat again when I feel hungry. As it has turned out for me, I only eat once a day, during a one-hour window around midday and I no longer have any cravings for snacks in between.
As of this morning I am now down to 94kg, which is a loss of 36kg and all of the above conditions are gone. I feel more like I did when I was in my 30's and 40's, my bloodwork and blood pressure are pretty well spot on and I now enjoy getting out and about, going for long walks, a bit of fishing and other activities. My balance and vision issues are still there from the stroke but I am able to cope with that well enough.
Thanks once again for all your advice toward regaining a better life. I wish everyone all the very best of luck in finding their own way to better health and a longer life.
Kindest regards to everyone.
Your kind and humble spirit radiates in your writing. I wish you the very best in your life. I pray for a complete recovery from the effects of your stroke.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story!
Did my annual VA physical exam blood draw today. Looking forward to the results.
Year 3 of paleo low carb diet and activity. Stable weight, feel great and strong, 68 years old. Better shape than the 40 year old me.
You ROCK, DR. KEN!!💪👍
You rock, too, for making a positive change in your life. Keep it up.
Fantastic!! 👏🏻
do you use MyHealthEVet online? I check it daily until results are posted, but what I've found is the A1c is its own lab and never shows the results, it shows the test, but no results. Last month I called the nurse and had them look it up June 2022, today 5.2 and all my labs are great. The VA even did a cardio calcium score test and its a big fat ZERO! This all started when the VA wanted me on a statin and I went about researching how bad they are and found Dr Berry, the rest is history
That’s great Dale! Is your office still on Bolsa Chica?
Let us know your results and thank you for service 👍
I am coming up on being vegan for 8 yrs now and I am just not feeling it anymore, I think lately my body does not like starch. such as rice, potatoes, pasta. I am now putting on weight, feel lazy and sometimes kinda foggy! My tummy aches at night now, so I am thinking of introducing meat back into my diet and transitioning over to the carnivore diet without the dairy. I am going to give myself about 6 months to slowly switch over, Thanks for your video!

I started 9 days ago carnivore and have doing great. I am eating 1MAD because I eat until I feel good and have not cheated or felt hungry until my dinner time at 6pm. I found myself with more energy than I have had in years. I look forward to healing my body from so many issues and can't wait to get off the meds!!! I have never been so excited to get healthy before. And carnivore makes it so easy. Thank you Dr. Berry
Thank you so much Dr Berry! I have been diving down the rabbit hole so to speak for about 10 months now, watching you and others and using self education as a tool to keep my mind right as a first defense in my detox from life long sugar addiction. I'm 61 F, and so it has been disheartening to watch the super athletic males who become superman and heal everything overnight so to speak; however your videos and others have sustained me thru a slow journey to regain/ repair my health and sustain it as I enter the aging process of the decade of my 60's. In 7 months I have lost 20 lbs, have achieved sustainable energy and have experienced food 'sanity' for the 1st time in my life. My hope is that this PHD will protect my eyes and teeth as I age. I am now going thru a strange mourning phase. I miss the exitotoxins in junk food and the entertainment value of variety. But when I succumb to euphoric recall I find the 1st few bites thrilling and then meh as the reality of the knowledge that I'm eating detrimental poison for a cheap thrill occurs. Of course, being human, I wish to have it all. I am attempting to fill the gap w new activities ( hiking) and exploring new places to physically experience the wonder of life, matching my new mental information. I am actually living more now, rather than eating more. I've escaped the little box of comfort/ pleasure that the world suggests as the goal of existence, and literally stretched my legs to go discover new things! So my point is that when I find myself bored w the PHD, I think it's because life is supposed to b exciting rather than food. I think food addiction masks our very zest for life and is perhaps the biggest danger of all! This is how life should b, and I am very grateful 🙏
4 weeks carnivore. I found it extremely hard. I just kept pushing through. No depression, swollen hands gone(painful) l feel strong. 63 in 3 weeks 21st September. Was keto. Epilepsy background. I can honestly say carnivore is for me. Thank you Doctor Berry.
ALSO, A REMINDER TO THOSE WHOM THINK ITS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. $5.00 approximately a day on meat. And this is only the beginning. Now my friends wouldn't do keto. But, they are certainly going to do carnivore. I just shared your fantastic video.

Hello from Durban, South Africa. I was T2 for almost 9 years. Had a high blood sugar and high cholesterol issue in July last year. Felt like I was going to die. From next day, went on Keto. Found Dr Berry on UA-cam and after 2 weeks, switched to carnivore. Stopped taking metformin.
A1c is now down to 5.8 from 12.6 Everything seems to be far better than before, besides the gout pain in my toe.
Perhaps I am missing something. Although, there is a significant improvement in what seemed to be arthritis. No more joints aching when I'm climbing the stairs.
Thank you, Dr Berry. I owe it to you and God Bless.

I’m starting on March 1 this coming Friday. I have had Hashimotos for 31yrs. I have been over 240 lbs since then due to following medical “advice”. I tried Keto once and loved it but did not know about electrolytes and had to quit. Now I am in a wheelchair due to arthritis in my right hip. Plus a few other issues. It’s do or die this time. I’m 64 yo and too young to give up. On Friday I check into a hotel w/full kitchen while my kitchen is being renovated. I am not bringing any carbs with me. So I am determined to get it right this time.
I’d love to hear how you’re doing. I also have Hashimoto’s. I’m about to start a pretty expensive therapeutic combination to combat it.
Yes this diet works I have lost 40 pounds and I am 63 it also has amazing health benefits A1c down to 6. 1 from 9.1
I've practiced mostly keto for the past 11+ years.
But ... have fallen off the path in recent months.
This inspired me to get back on track. 😊
That’s great news ❤
Well done
Awesome on the ac1 and weight. I am in your boat same age and high ac1 and have lost about the same weight. I feel better. Continue your good work.
65 feel like 30. Lost 60 lbs,,, no more knee pain. Life is good 😊
I know that if I eat a high carb meal I get lethargic and so sleepy. And I crave carbs and sugar. I have learned so much watching you and Neisha. As well as Steak and Butter Gal plus many other carnivore. When I stopped eating sugar my joint pain went away after a few days. I am just beginning the Carnivore diet and I hope that my results will make my family and friends want to do it as well.
I am a 16 year old boy, I was, at my fittest, 155 lbs lean and muscular during wrestling season last year, gained some weight after to 170 which is kinda normal after season so I’m still healthy at 170, but I broke both my arms in a lifting accident, and gained 35 lbs because I couldn’t do anything and was steal eating the American diet ish, then once I was healed I was 205 lbs and feeling sluggish and terrible, lasted for a while and tried to fix it but cutting calories did nothing and was just discouraging, then, after visiting a friend, he told me about carnivore from Joe Rogan and asked me to look into it cause he saw I got fat. I did, tbh I was really skeptical, but tried it, I’m not gonna lie, the first two weeks were really hard and discouraging, diarrhea, headaches, cravings, hunger, but… getting past it was amazing, my skin is cleared up, sleep is nicer, I no longer crave sugar, only meat, I’ve lost almost 18 damn lbs in 4 1/2 weeks after starting, and have clarity of mind. I feel healthier then ever, my plan is to eat like this preferably for ever, and this is, tbh, how all humans should try to eat, I have strayed from it every once in a while but always get on track and it isn’t too damaging, but overall, it is amazing.
You're only 16. How did your mom and dad feel about you becoming carnivore?
2 Full weeks on carnivore so far, excited to keep going and see where this takes me. Been watching your videos and the Steak & Butter Gal and Zero Carb Life. I have been suffering from SLE and Hashimotos for almost 10 years, my inflammation is out of control, and I'm only 35... this is one of my first real attempts to heal myself without taking more meds (I am already on 4) please wish me luck and pray !! Only thing I am fearful of is becoming too skinny (I have no desire to lose weight, just inflammation) I am already on the small side
I've recently started it. Being off carbs, my body aches MUCH less now
How recent, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m about to start, I have so many aches and pains.
@@ianf4010 2 weeks ago. Just stopping carbs will help joint pain. It's amazing how carbs make us hurt.
@@ianf4010I concur. I used to have tendinitis in my wrists. That has improved 7 years ago. I have not had a flair up since I started.
Same!
@@andyc7747yeah, I’m severely addicted, I’m going with the all-in approach. I know if I tell myself I’ll ween off of sugar and carbs, I’ll never do it. I appreciate your response!
I was stuck at 210 Lbs for about 2 years eating a “well balanced diet” of lean meats, plants and carbs and always felt hungry, tired and miserable ! On carnivore diet for 1 month and 2 weeks and down to 191 lbs ! And I have never felt better !! High Energy ! Good mood ! Appetite always satisfied ! Best decision I have made ! Thank you sir for true facts !
Thank you Brother ✌️ You and Chaffee tell the truth. And many others. The comments of the people and there experiences are amazing! Truth! I AM Grateful! Carnivore 2 weeks. Amazing things are happening to me and this body. 56 year young male here loving life more than ever. Best day of my life! And I thought yesterday was. Thank you to All! 💙🌎🌍🌏💚 🥩🥓🥚
Just wanted to say thank you for your guidance. I feel a lot better now. I’m not swollen like I used to be. I went from size 42 down to size 37.
Dear Doctor Berry, thanks so much for your work. I do not need to do labs for inflammation, I can feel the relief each day and now a whole week without pain killers ! Amazing !Thanks for your tireless informative work, as my friends worry about me as I was vegetarian most of my life and they cannot understand why meat is making me well ! Keep it up.
-70 lbs in 13 weeks spoke for itself to my relatives at Christmas. (BTW, I did a couple of "cheat days" to eat normal holiday meals, and between the insulin and BP spikes I could literally HEAR my pulse after eating. Couldn't wait to get back on track!)
May I ask your weight before you started?
I decided to give it a chance and started keto (15g carb) this month before going 100% carnivore next month. I’ve noticed weight gain so far because I don't have too much weight to lose and my body is clearly enjoying and asking for more fat. And even though I’m gaining weight, I’ll give what my body is asking until I get fat-adapted and start losing weight. I always did a low-fat diet, so I think it makes sense to gain weight since my body is adapting to receive and process so much fat out of the blue. I already feel all the benefits. :)
What's ur diet compromise of???becaise I also wan to gain weight with carnivore diet so if u could please help
Eating fat does not make you fat. It's your higher fat consumption AND the face you are still eating carbs. After you ease into dropping those carbs, you will see a weight loss. Good luck and congrats on changing your life for the better.
You’re doing something wrong. Something is hidden that you are not aware of.
@@inshaparveen8003see Dr Berry's vids on Proper Human Diet. eat the right foods, minimize/eliminate carbs, eat to satiety. your body will find its correct weight. don't worry about calories.
@@meatdogI tried upping the fat 5 years into carnivore and gained 20 lbs over the course of about 4 months. I've probably never been in ketosis, and I'm guessing that's why the added calories packed on the pounds.
After 22 years of unintentionally doing carnivore I can confirm all these wonderful benefits and more
Unintentionally? Explain…
Continue to thrive ❣️
🚫 insulin spikes
Working to change that.
😊
Haven't attempted pure/ strict carnivore.
Beef + fat alone doesn't energize / satiate me. ?
@@mbaxter22 A lot of people just prefer meat over everything else.
@mbaxter22 I was raised on it and we lived on a farm deep in the country with little internet connection of technology. We raised cattle
Gm here from nyc , I am new to a carnivore diet, have been on keto for 8 months and I am feeling so much more energetic my a1c 7.5 to 5.2. My blood pressure was 185/85 , now 107/67.. lost 70 lbs. But at a stand still so decided to try carnivore. Fingers crossed I can lose a bit more now..I was 320lbs now at 250lbs so still have a bit to lose ..BTW I have this next door app . And shared your videos as well as my results and so far 4 people in 2 weeks have messaged me how they want to try this phd..I'm so happy to hear that ..we all need to spread the word about a phd..it's working maybe with people on a PhD there won't be so many crazies out there lol..have a wonderful day God bless you all..let's keep this going ..I'm loving it
I've been eating zero carb for 6 years. My sis went through cancer treatment last year and has had bad joint pain ever since. I finally convinced her to try cutting out carbs...just for a month, and in 3 days, her joint pain has gone.
You are one of the best here on youtube. Sten Ekberg is another one really good to explain how it works. I eat mostly meat, butter cream. Add some plants only for taste and variations. I have fell off the vagons before and have no good explanations. But if you ones was addicted to carbs you better stay off them. As long as you do that the cravings is under control. It is crazy how much better you feel when you skip the carbs.
I have been doing mainly carnivore for 7 months. I have lost 40 pounds, lowered my BP, A1C and cholesterol. My acid reflux went away literally the first night after not eating any plants! I donate plasma twice a week, and payment depends on weight, so I don't want to go under 180 just yet, so I have an occasional, home-made 'keto' treat. I know what to do to lose more weight when I am ready to, and I'm happy to feel so much healthier now.
You’re lucky. Still have reflux after 5 months strict Carnivore.
@@AnneMB955could you be drinking too much water with your meal? Don't want to flush out the acid needed to breakdown the meat.
@@AnneMB955Try apple cider vinegar. Not an instant cure but should help over time.
@@AnneMB955 it could be from a cause other than carbs.
It may not be for everyone BUT it has sure helped me!
Enjoying this video as I eat oxtails and hard-boiled eggs swimming in butter. I totally agree with what Dr. Berry is saying. This is definitely the proper human diet!
Ya know what I miss in both carnivore and keto.. absorbent foods. I want to sop up that melted butter with something
😋@@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority
Me and my wife are on day 19, We just started to documenting our journey. Thanks for all the content we've learned so much from your channel!
Watching Dr Berry for months, finally went carnivore 48 days ago... can't even begin to say how much better I feel.physcally, mentally, emotionally!! It is only going to get better! Already down 14 pounds, eating like crazy, loving the meat!
Great video Ken Berry!!! well done! very succinct and well presented. I'm so glad you addressed the Proper Human Diet for what it is... ancestrally appropriate whole food for humans and not some sales gimmick or 'new diet' or fad. The words 'Keto' or 'Carnivore' have such a stigma attached. Again, thanks for spelling this out. This video is very watchable and makes a whole lot of sense. (ketovore, with all the benefits for 2.5 years now, also a proud tribe member and supporter).
I began the diet couple month ago. I went from 188lb to 166lb. I had a fatty liver, my AST/ALT enzymes were out of control. In the hundreds each. I am happy to say the are now in the low end of normal. My cholesterol actually went down from 300 to 260 which I know is not the case in everyone doing this diet, but for me that is the case. I used to eat carbs in tons so my body does much better eating protein and fat. Also, my testosterone went up 200 points.
That's awesome results! Me and my wife are on day 19, we've got a long way to go but can't wait for the results.
@@memywifemylife9836 I wish you both good luck. I would recommend to include some fasting into your diet if possible as that will make you lose weight faster.
Hello from Canada❤
My one year carniversary

Blood pressure meds gone
Cholesterol meds gone
Waiting for test results for fatty liver. Im sure its better than it was

Thank you so much for all you're help Doctor Berry
Wel Done!!! Congratulations
When you start losing fat, the first fat to go is the fat in the liver
6 months in and 3rd try in 3 years. I'm doing way better than the last trys. I'm so grateful for the day I first happened upon your video. I was desperate for health and found the answer here.
First off I want to thank you Dr Berry for showing me the Carnivore diet. I've been on it for about Seven weeks now and I just did labs on Monday the 15th. I'm a type two diabetic and my A1C went from 8.9 to 6.2! I've lost almost Twenty pounds and my pants are getting looser and my belt is getting tighter! I can actually see myself having a great summer! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
A Fantastic introduction to 'How Humans Should Eat.' Kudos, Dr. Berry.
The proper human diet.
😊
Started 2nd week of Jan 2024. Weight was 279. Today May 2 weight 217. Knee pain gone. Energy tremendous. Goal weight is 185. Wife started 1 month ago. Hashimotos symptoms have disappeared. It works and no hunger or cravings. Not my diet now, its my permanent lifestyle.
My biggest problem last couple of years was bloating and inflammation, than cravings and low focus at work. For years trying to find solution and I'm almost 53. Been keto/law carb last 8 years and although it helped tremendously, I still had inflammation, bloating, etc. Only when I went full carnivore, all, I mean all issues disappeared. I stopped eating it few months ago because I am generally not a big meat eater and missed fruits and vegetables and all my problems came back. So now, going back to meat. Thank you kindly for all information and advices you put here!
As Dr Berry says…
All you need is a strong dose of “Vitamin P”…
PATIENCE!!! 😊😊😊
You’ve already witnessed for yourself the many benefits of the carnivore diet so just be patient, take your vitamin P daily, and welcome back to a Proper Human Diet my friend!! 😊😊😊
@@Papacarnivore15thank you and you are right.
I just discovered Dr. Berry a couple days ago. I'm only on day 6 of my carnivore adventure but just listening to him keeps me so motivated!
UPDATE: Day 66 and I have lost only 10 lbs. Disappointing.
Thank you Doc! I was able to break my sugar addiction in 2 weeks since I started Carnivore 4 weeks ago! Down 9 lbs 20 more to go! Cheers!
Thank you Dr. Berry for teaching the truth!! I’m eating Neisha’s meatloaf minus the bacon with a carnivore beef gravy!! Delicious!!
7 months carnivore and down 34 lbs at 55 years of age. My blood pressure is down to “normal” at 177/70 from 145/95 and there are so many other health improvements that I cannot even list them all here. I cannot fathom going back to eating what most people think is “normal”. Everyone just says “your cholesterol must be off the chart” as they stuff their face with sugar and carbs. As I become more fit than my friends who are 10-15 years younger than me their rebuttal is weakening. Thank you Dr. Berry.
Thank you dr. Berry. You are the best of the best doctor in the world👍🫶💪🧠🫀🫁🦷🦴👀. You saved my life in 2022. I thank you from the bottom of my heart❤. God bless you sir🙏 you have and will allways have my respect✋️👌👌👍
I'm currently 54 borderline diabetic, moderately high blood pressure, and 278 lbs. I've had 2 lower back surgeries and major neck surgery. I'm starting this diet today.
6 years carnivore diet, thank you Dr.Berry, thank you Butter Bob. Many others, but you two really put it in strait forward everyday American terms ❤😊❤❤
No carbs/ STRICT CARNIVORE way of eating is the best thing I've ever done!!
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
Thank you. 77 and on day 2. Just the idea of doing this is rather exciting. Now day 14 and starting to reap the benefits. 👍
Now day 51 and had a lot of issues with dizziness etc low blood sugar, lack of bile, but all good now I think. I hope.
Thank you Dr Wolfman I've been having a couple of issues with my heart and ever since I've been eating beef like you told me to I've been feeling a lot better breathing better a bit more energy thank you Dr Ken Berry❤ I call you Dr Wolfman out of kind love you see I'm Hispanic and we Hispanic people when we have a good spot in our heart for somebody we joke with them and we are kind of humorous with them it is a sign that we respect you and really consider you special❤
I just started today!!!
I started only 20 times and I go 2wks and Then I can’t stand meat I end up hating it
Well done. It’s totally worth it.
@@warrior7787 Oh no! Remember you can have fish, chicken, eggs, butter. Also, you can eat a ketogenic or ketovore diet and still reap the benefits.
Dr. Berry describes a ketogenic diet as covering half your plate with meat and animal products, and half your plate with low-glycemic vegetables.
That may really help with your boredom.
@@warrior7787 Allow yourself to have some low glycemic vegetables or fruits. I'm the same, but something as simple as olives or strawberries helps break the monotonous.
Bingo😊 you go Dr. Berry
This is so true❤
Doing this lifestyle the last 6 years losing over 120lbs and enjoying the healthiest life ever❤❤❤
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Lots of improvements in my body. 11 kl down.
Thank you for all your help in these video’s❤.
This is concise, short, and excellent! Perfect to send to a friend who needs help! Dr. Berry does this so well and really cares. He also looks healthy and young. May God protect him and his precious family! 🙏🏼🥰☺️
when I was carnivore, I was healthy. Before carnivore, I had PCOS, I was borderline Diabetic. I had bad body odor, I had athletes food that would not go away. I didn't ovulate on my own, I had to take clomid to get pregnant with my daughters. I did carnivore for 3 months. I lost 65 pounds over 100 inches off my body. My PCOS was gone. I ovulated on my own and got pregnant with my son. I had A1C of 4.0. My body odor was gone, My feet healed up. I got pregnant and meat and eggs made me so sick. So I had to go back to eating fruit veggies etc. I am now going to go back to carnivore and hope to get back to being healthy. and maybe have one more baby. I just turned 40 years old. My son is 18 months old.
I am going on a carnivore diet. I worked in a doctors office where everyone is overweight. Mega carbs on lunchroom table. Struggle to keep weight off. Currently 190 pound, female, 68 and so tired and lazy feeling. I love meat and have always been told, especially by the docs I worked for, "Dont eat to much meat, you will get a heart attack. I never believed them but did take up eating a lot of carbs, bread, oatmeal.
3 weeks in to Carnivore. Feel aboslutley phenomenal.
Day 2 of carnivore and down 1.6kg in 24hrs. The water is just emptying out of me! Hopefully it helps my PTSD because right now I just want to straighten up all the books in your bookshelf! Love your content thanks!
Dr. Berry, YOU are saving so many lives! Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing this vital information, Dr Berry.
I used to smoke. Then I substituted chips and crackers after I quit because I needed to be consuming something all the time. But now I'm on carnivore and don't feel the need for junk food anymore. I still sometimes eat compulsivly, but it doesn't make me fat. I'm actually losing weight and have more energy.
And it's all because of Dr. Berry. I'm not shilling, it's the truth. By the way I'm 75.
Thank you Dr. Berry for this life changing information. I've been obese to morbidly obese since 5th grade. I'm 64 now. I haven't been to a traditional so called doctor for 4 years other than my DOT physical because of the crap he was spewing. He never asked me what I ate but told me to switch everything white for brown (rice, potatoes etc). I hadn't eaten those things for years. The highest I had been in his office was 328 but at 283 he told me I should consider bariatric surgery. (That’s what his computer screen was telling him) and.... we were going on statins as a preventative measure. I have not been back.
I started your lifestyle change on January 29, 2024 at 306. LOVE it!! Most of my knee and leg pain is gone. My energy level is fantastic!! Get home from work after a 12 hour day and still am able to get household and farm chores done. Today, 3/16/24 I'm at 288😮
This is totally a way of life that is fantastic!
Congrats to you!!! 🎉
Hi Doctor. Many thanks for all your videos and reference information. I went carnivore in June 2023 and I've lost 50lbs and I'm now exercising well. I caught another one of your videos where you talked about insulin resistance and on reflection I definitely had the signs of it. Now those signs have vanished. So thank you, you're a good man!
I was strict WFPB (vegan) for 7 years and the past year was awful. Constantly hungry, bloated, gassy, and my hormones were making me such a mental mess 😢 I did a complete flip by switching to carnivore 7 months ago and I have never felt better! I’m full and content (never felt that before!), all other symptoms are gone, mental health is improved and no money spent on expensive hormone tests. I’m 63 and my joints are great, had 2 total knee replacements while vegan and they’re feeling great. My strength is awesome, weight issues gone, BF% all time low and skeletal muscle mass great!
My plan was a 3 day trial, but the results were so immediate I couldn’t stop. You are my main source of information Dr Berry and I thank you for what you do!!
as a healthy 27 year old id like to share my experience with the carnivore diet. i did 6 weeks as an experiment. the first 2 weeks sorta sucked. After that, i noticed i started to sleep better at night, i was waking up early for work, as opposed to waiting until the last second to get up and i had more energy/felt more positive through the day. I enjoyed vegetables and fruit too much to maintain this diet. When i quit, i noticed the biggest effects. I realized that sugary sweets would absolutely wreck me. It would cause inflammation and back/joint pain. Too much junk food gives me stomach problems. prior to trying carnivore, i always had arthritis like joint pain. sometimes, so bad it would keep me up at night. Now I know what was causing it, and i notice the way different foods affect me in a negative way (mostly processed sugar). Anyways, if anyone is considering carnivore "just because," absolutely give it a go and see if you learn anything about the way specific foods affect you
@@smallish_mk3733 better avoid fruits in carnivore diet,because it will also increase inflammation in joints
I think eliminating carbs might also mean less doctors visits…
I could be wrong about this, but as far as I can tell, most bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites feed on sugars and carbohydrates. This means less infections, less colds and flu’s and less vulnerability to fungal infections. Dr Berry, am I correct about this?
I’ve been ketovore for the past yr and I have not gotten sick, not even a sniffle, used to get headaches all the time, but haven’t had one headache in a year… coincidence?? I think not 😊😊😊
