No question, just wanted to say that because of you I started keto in January, A1C was 7.7, 2 weeks ago A1C is now 5.4!!! Got off of type 2 diabetic meds!!!
Yay!!! I did the same. My A1C was 6.7 and now it is 4.7. Just had to go shopping today for new pants for the summer. Also found a health mission in town that I can donate my insulin to.
I found your channel 3 months ago today and started doing carnivore. I have since lost 25 pounds, my eczema is gone, my back pain is gone, I sleep better and I generally feel better. My mother has noticed the change and she's asked me what I'm doing. The best part is that she's actually listening and starting to make changes in her diet too. She went Keto and she has lost 5 pounds so far and her digestion is a lot better. We have great 'outrage sessions' over the labels on food packaging and all the ways sugar is concealed. My father is the holdout, he is having trouble giving up his breakfast cereal, but my mom is the cook so he has to eat Keto most of the time. 😄
I unexpectedly came across you on UA-cam and the video on reversing diabetes caught my attention. I have been trying this way of eating for a couple of weeks now and my sole purpose was to lower my blood sugar. I’ve kept my blood sugar in range 85-94% of the time. I was totally out of control for years. In the process of focusing on lowering my blood sugar, I lost 17 pounds! I need to lose weight, so that was a real bonus in trying this way of eating. I shared your videos with my sisters and they are enthusiastic about starting this too! I have my 3 month check up in June with my doctor, who wants to keep adding medications to lower my A1C, which was 8.8 on last visit. I was taking up to 60 units of Novolin in the AM and PM and 32-38 in the noon hour. Now, I’ve gone down to 20-22 and a lot of the time skipping it all together for lunch. I want to blow my doctors socks off with my progress! Thank you so much Dr. Berry! You are a true blessing!
Dr. Berry you saved us! I put my husband who has type 2 diabetes on keto and acv. And his blood sugar dropped so much! He has been in the er 3 times due to ketoacidosis but now he lost 50 lbs and his blood sugar is down to where soon he will be off his meds thank you soooo much!
Hi Doc...I'll get right to it..thank you and I owe you (trying not to be dramatic) my life. Since my teens I've struggled with my weight, in my mid 20's to around 34yrs old I weighed in at 340/350lbs (25 stone in the UK) I lost 8 stone in one year through 'normal' product based dieting..of course 40% of it came back on, now in my late 50's my knees were swollen, joint aches, lethargic daily ups and downs etc etc...then flicking through UA-cam I found the carnivore diet, thought I'd give it a go, and 3 months later after a getting to know process, I'm 22lb lighter and still going. The main thing that is missed on your channel (obviously correct me if I'm wrong) is the end to cravings, I look at foods and drinks I used to devourer daily and now I don't have ANY desire for those products, its truly life changing..Again I owe you so much. Thank you.
It's beautiful to see a Doctor's helpful advice with proper diets. I'm a Life Insurance Broker, and I often refer my clients with certain health issues to watch. Stay healthy!
Dropped 65 pounds of fat in soon to be 1 year. Thank you for your advice and blunt honesty. I have another 40 pounds of fat to drop, and in spite of the occasional sugar cravings, I feel so much better now that I won't go back to the old way. If I had ice cream in my house - I'd eat it, but I don't buy carbohydrates anymore, and I go to the store on a very full stomach to keep the cravings muted.
Great job, My weakness is ice cream also. I have to just walk past it I. The store. Really, I don’t go down the middle aisles anymore except for canned fish and meats, and my ice cream substitute, dark chocolate, 85 % cacao.
Strict carnivore will kill all sugar cravings as long as you do not allow anything sweet to touch your mouth. I had cravings still with keto. Carnivore killed them all. No sweetners.
My name is Ray loss my leg two years ago. I was 254 my body was out of control. When I seen you on UA-cam ,I just eat meat and lost 70 pounds in one year.
Sorry to hear about your leg. But better late than never. I'd rather have a prosthetic elgs and be carnivore for the rest of my life and feel healthy, than eating a SAD and feeling constantly miserable.
Dr Ken, I have been on Keto for 30 plus days. and lost 15 lbs . I am now in a healthy weight range. I have lowered my blood pressure from 135-145/90 ( with meds cozar). to 105-112/72-73!!!!!!! I was able to stop my meds because my BP started getting too low. I have never felt better in my life.
Started my 3rd month of carnivore today. I got on the scale and am now down 15lbs. Magically I tested my glucose and I am way down! I am going to finish my 90 days and see where I am. Thanks Dr Ken! ❤️😎
I really appreciate these videos. And I would also like to say that I really appreciate the audience here. The comment section is such a breath of fresh air. I do not know what's going on in the last two weeks but I have literally given up commenting on basically any video anymore. To the point where I'm just about deleted UA-cam. There must be a lot of stress in the world because people are absolutely nasty lately and this includes on other keto or carnivore sites. This is basically the only keto/carnival channel I'm ever gonna watch now.
I’m so blessed my BP has went down and I stopped 1 of my 3 pills a day and my husband has also dropped 1 of his 2 a day bp pills..praying we get off all in a few months. Have been on about 3 weeks carnivore.
Hiawassee Georgia, thank you Dr Berry , I work in a dr office and deal with a lot of pressure from certain people because my cholesterol went up to 276 but my trig are 69 and a1c 4.8 I’ve lost almost 50 pounds and I feel great. But since I’m not eating cake and cookies everyone thinks I’m gonna die😂 love u and neisha thank you for everything
Are they actually sure that increased cholesterol is not simply increased need for cholesterol on a red meat diet, instead of the extra cholesterol in the meat itself? After all the liver can easily dispose of cholesterol in the bile if it wants to? And if so, why is there higher need for cholesterol?
I love cheese too and Ive found eating the PHD I dont crave it at all. I do put kerrygold butter in my coffee daily. ...can't get enough of that deliciousness.
I missed this live but most always catch the one on Monday nights. Dr. Berry, you always have great information and I appreciate you answering people's questions.....even if it's the same questions many times over I still learn and remember the answers to those questions if I have forgotten. Thank you. P.S. my son Anthony Jackson, that you "shouted out" on Monday has promised he is "working on" changing his diet. ❤🙏
i lost weight in the first 2 years thanks to my daughter introducing me to you. i have been stalled for just over a year and I have crepey skin all over my body. my measurements keep moving around, but not losing any more weight. i will keep on and hope i will be my best self one day
crape-y skin needs deep fasting like 4 days. You would have to plan that, keep busy away from temptations and know hunger pangs come and go. LOOK up extended fasting and eating gelatine or collagen.
Dr Berry so thankful for your advise. Didn’t understand my digestive system before now . Amazing because next year I am seventy years old. I managed the carnivore diet for one month. I was very good kept it to the letter. This was difficult because I am not a big meat eater. Nonetheless the carnivore month I lost 15 pounds. Since then I decided to go keto. I have now been on this regime in total just short of 4 months. I’ve lost an amazing 45 pounds . This puts me well under 200 pounds and according to BMI I am no longer considered overweight. To my delight I have dropped two dress sizes. Better news is my dear husband who has struggled for decades with his weight . Tried endless diets yo-yoing has now followed this same routine. He started about 340 pounds . To date he has lost nearly 50. He has a way to go but is very satisfied with his food and never feels hungry or uncomfortable. The results are not just about losing weight. I’m 6ft 1 and for the first time for a long time I feel happier in my skin. Feel good when I go out. Taking a interest in my dress and appearance. Must admit I had given up and resigned my self to just being old. My health and mobility has improved. Swollen knees and feet a thing of the past. Feel more like the leggy seventies bird that I was. All the very best Jenny UK
Hi again doc crossville TN . come by the feed store if ya get down this way show ya a picture from the 387lb days of misery feeling great at 185 thanks once again 🙃
Menopause hit me 4 years ago, which was 2 years after I had adopted a very low carb, high fat (LCHF) lifestyle. I was fit and healthy at the time, too, and hot flashes were not a big problem. However, I still felt like a shell of my former self, and at night I would have high cortisol and racing heart that greatly disrupted my sleep for months and months. I can only imagine how bad I would have felt if I were still eating a high sugar/high starch, crap diet! I spent three years trying various oral hormone formulations, all of which had side effects that were even worse. Then I met a naturopathic / functional medicine doc who uses a pellet that is implanted in your skin and releases a small amount of estrogen and testosterone over 3-4 months. I've been doing that for over a year now, and it has helped a lot. I think the T was the key for me, and Dr. Berry is one of only two doctors (my doc being the other) who I've ever heard discuss testosterone as one of the missing hormones a menopausal woman might need.
I missed a live stream but every week I catch this as motivation to try to kick the sugar habit again. Truth be told I’ve gotten off of vegetables and fruit. I don’t even care if I never touch a vegetable or fruit again. But it’s the pretzels chips and ice cream that I’m having trouble with.
Lots of keto recipes. Hubby loves ice cream. I bought a ninja creami. Love Maria Emmerich recipe and a couple from ketogenic woman. Both with raw eggs.
I use fresh 100% full cream sour-cream and add stevia erithrytol and vanilla to taste and it tastes like ice cream to me. Most carbs are gone from sour cream. Our tastes change. I went Keto to carnivore.
Info is informative and obfuscating at the same time. One living off of alcohol, cake, cookies, and ice cream who is listening to the vagaries of bananas or spinach may be frozen in inaction. Eat eggs, meat (chicken fish beef), soluble fats for a week to experience loss of appetite. Then try to realize the next big picture (e.g. complex carbs are good, simple carbs are to be avoided at all costs; what is a starchy vegetable, etc). Meat, fat, and complex carbs is actually a balanced diet, difficult to achieve until one realizes that they can vaporize their cravings.
Splenda needs to be consumed in liquid form. The liquid form only includes Water, Sucralose, Malic Acid, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Potassium Sorbate (Preservative). The packets still have dextrose and maltodextrin in them. Saying its zero calories is wrong.
What is the best way to get a diabetic person to gain weight without spiking blood sugar? He is 63. My husband is underweight with diabetes 2. He has never in his life had an overweight problem but diabetes runs in his family. Both mother and father and neither one of them were overweight either. Putting weight on him is a chore, but he only manages with diet. No prescription meds. Symptoms started around 15 years ago.
Anyone here watching the TV show "The food that built America" ? Just started watching the latest show about Entenmens and Little Debbie. The whole series is interesting. I'm 62 and don't really remember these snack cakes, twinkies, devil dogs, etc. until around 3rd to 4th grade. So that's around the time that all of this crud food started including fast food like McDonald's, etc. Sadly, fast food back then was probably healthier than now. No seed oils and it was really a once a week, or month, treat. Now most people consider it normal daily food.
This is great Dr. Berry but I'm guessing, since I am 4 days late that you respond after in the next videos, after you launch the video. I seriously need help on my carnivore-Organs & 2x fats diet. Having cheated with sweet pastries too many times my gut is not healed and that's with 4 days of fasting due to illness. I thought I could cheat sneaking in a few goodies but...Holy crap, you just told me my binges have converted me in and out of sugar burning while eating fats! How dangerous is that? Recent AI blood checks that showed no AI; and a general check up didn't alarm the Dr. except for the high LDL! I just signed up on your Patron channel and look forward to more specific & intimate conversations as I need your help, after 2+ years of Carnivore, adding supplements and still over heating after meals & at night though it was resolved prior to cheat binging!
Two questions for you: is there an ideal for you? Ideal hba1c#, ideal body fat%, ideal glucose level after a meal? Etc...Second, if one's metabolism is fast, wouldn't his glucose level be (more) flexible and varies much more i.e. spike and dip? You know... like your heart rate. Great to have low resting hr, but it's variance is also great, no? Like your take on that😊
I have hashis like your wife. When I try any diet, keto,very lowcarb or carnivore,I start waking up 2-3x a night. It's not just a temporary thing, it lasts months until I'm so tired and frustrated, I give in to carbs so can sleep. I've tried extra salt, extra fat, melatonin, nothing helps, besides more carbs. Besides the sleep issue, I actually feel good eating like this.
I was under tremendous stress and had to give up coffee/caffeine as well as being keto. Went to a naturopath and got adrenal supplement. Helped so much with sleep and energy/stamina. Some meditation and exercise for relaxation as well
Hello Dr. Berry, I've quick one, I'm about to start a ketovore lifestyle, and my question is, what about what the animals are being fed, if its farm raise pasture raise is good and if they are grain fed, that makes a lot of difference. Will I not loose stored fat if I eat grain fed animals? Thank you.
Sorry I missed your live Q&A.. Will you please address this issue of "How to remain on a Keto or Carnivore diet during this time of "high inflation" and " Food Shortages" projected to get much worse over time. If it becomes un-affordable to buy meat, eggs, bacon etc what do you suggest as a healthy diet???
From Nashville Tennessee, Dr. Berry, I've been on a keto diet and have lost 60 pounds. My Doctor told me I can't be on a keto diet because I have EPI! Is this true? Love your programs, watch all the time. Keep up the good work.
I have ulcerative colitis and using pentasa granules, azathioprine and humira but still my colitis is sometimes really bad, now also since last few weeks I am having flares. I am gaining weight and cannot eat red meats too often.
Question: Can I eat veal and beef only, on the Carnivore diet, or is the veal too lean and should I just do the ground beef?? Thanks for any feedback, and God bless you all🙂❤️🙏 Washington State🌹
Sad i missed it. I had two questions about the carnivor diet. Is it also suitable for children or is keto a better option? Is there a way to get more fibers in because of indegestion problems. If anyone has any idea please let me know.
Good Evening from Northwest Wisconsin Dr. Berry. I am trimming off the silver skin from a beef tenderloin. Outside of putting this in with my bones for bone-broth, do you know if there a use for this?
That is pure collagen building-blocks, either put that in your bone broth, or use it in another recipe; I personally eat it right along with the tenderloin...
Scarlotte from Missouri (misery) I am in this insulin and diet, up and down ride. I take the insulin and then I eat like crazy. I have no control. I was off soda, and now I'm hooked again. I try to listen to some of your u-tube videos and keep in contact with my doctors. What do you do if you think the doctors are keeping you sick, so they can continue treatment? I'm tired of taking all this medicine. I'll keep listening to you.
Read Dr. Berry’s book, “Lies my Doctor Tells Me”. It will enlighten you and maybe give you the motivation you need to keep going the extra mile. You believe how easy it is and how good you will feel.
Get off all the processed foods first, and up your meat. Then get rid of the bread, pasta and starchy veg. No canola or other seed oils. Cook in bacon grease or beef drippings. And read Dr. Bernstein’s book ( Diabetes Solution)about T1D.
Hi Doc, can you interview someone about the environment and meat? We buy from local farmers, but still challenged by others about 100% carnivore lifestyle. Feel great, thank you and God bless!!!
Oh... i had a food intolerance test and it turns out i'm very intolerant to egg whites, yeast, and wheat. Those things are in everything. Then i saw a friend in the week and had burrito but i didnt eat the bread but i did eat the bloody rice... woke up feeling ill. Yesterday i went to a dance and my frie d wanted food after and i feltbad for her to eat alone so i had something. I ordered a burger thinking i could not eat the bread. IT WAS A VEGAN BURGER.... it wasnt clear on their stupid online menu, so this week has been ruined and i feel awful mentally and physically and i had been feeling so well as a carnivore.
Web MD says, "Nicotine changes chemical processes in your cells so they don't respond to insulin and let it in, a condition called insulin resistance. Your cells need insulin so they can take glucose out of your blood and use it for energy. When they can't, the glucose stays in your blood, and your blood sugar level goes up". I find this to be a very interesting topic and can it be what possibly stops some people from loosing weight?
Question: Is olive oil a no-go? I just started seeing your videos (very prolific number of them) a couple of months ago. I've heard you speak ill of vegetable oils, but most of those are made with grains and olives are not a grain.
Olive and avocado are ok because they don't go through the same gnarly process as vegetable\canola oil. Idk much about avocado, but for olive preferably extra virgin and single origin, which will be on the label somewhere usually with a 2 letter abbreviation for the country of origin. Coconut oil is good too.
So much good info as usual, back on fasting and keto after a break. You give a lot of information on bile and gallbladder stones, but you never talk polyps. Have one 11mm not causing any symptoms but being that size they want to remove gallbladder as could be cancerous. So against this, waiting another scan to see if it is grown. What choice do I have?
Been on PHD for about 2 mo months now... lost weight to 78.6 kg... also noticed the calluses near my bunion is going away... cool... because it used to split and bleed! Eat a couple of smalll slices of cheese with butter most days, and use cream in coffee and occasionally cocoa... basics- no sugar!
Doc I also notice a shiny surface on my toilet water surface from urine. Only when I am in ketosis. Not sure it's oil like that guy said but it is definately shiny. It's how I can tell I'm in ketosis.
From Nashville Tennessee, Dr. Berry, I've been on a keto diet for 90 days and lost 60 pounds. I'm 70 years old, and my Doctor said I can not be on a keto diet because I have EPI. Is this true? Love your programs. Watch all the time. Keep up the good work!
How is your digestion? With EPI the pancreas does not make enough of the enzymes needed to break down fats and proteins so that is why he is saying you can’t eat keto. Yet, you’ve been eating keto for 90 days…are you having digestive issues or constipation? Maybe he is wrong if you’re not having any issues. But you could also consider taking a supplement of digestive enzymes to help break down the protein and fat. Think about how you feel, what symptoms did you have for him to diagnose you with EPI? Are you still having them? Are they improving with how you’re eating or have they gotten worse? If I had symptoms and got a diagnosis but then went on a diet that made me feel better and made symptoms go away then I would stick with my diet. But if symptoms didn’t improve or worsened then I might have to do something different. Of course if you stop and think about it even plants have proteins and fats that have to be digested…if it was me, I would listen to my body and how I feel.
He's got a video on here with several websites to find a low carb friendly doc. I found mine on the site for the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners, which was suggested by Dr Rob Cywes (also here on YT)
Just received your book lies my doctor told me. Started reading it from the forwards! Dr Berry. I'm ketovore, very meat heavy but have gained 3 lbs in the past month. Why? Bacon and eggs for first meal. Meat for dinner. I'm puzzled!
A lot of women increase the density of their skeletons.. I would assume most women have slighlty underweight skeletons on the standard western diet.. also you gain muscle without extra excercise at the start of eating correctly
Saskatoon, saskatchewan, Canada. I loose weight very fast...lost 17 lbs in 2 weeks.i have me/cfs.a horrific disease I can say for sure...taking me a lot of years to pull out of it.
i’m so sorry… I used to be deathly sick similarly… they found out after a bazillion doctors and tests and YEARS… it was actually Lyme disease. they greatly are similar. don’t know if that’s the case for you, but thought I would mention. also YES on the weight loss. I could lose the same amount. I was 88 lbs at my lowest. I almost died from malnutrition. the only thing that saved me was God and eating soft boiled meat and broth. finally got my gut functioning again and slowly added foods in over the course of about 4 years. now I am a healthy 120 lbs at my average weight. and feel very good almost every day. I eat meat based diet, some low carb veggies, very few normal veggies and some fruit.
No question, just wanted to say that because of you I started keto in January, A1C was 7.7, 2 weeks ago A1C is now 5.4!!! Got off of type 2 diabetic meds!!!
Wow! Great results!
Good on you!
Deneen GREAT NEWS keep up good work; we are in good hands here:-).
Wonderful news!
Yay!!! I did the same. My A1C was 6.7 and now it is 4.7. Just had to go shopping today for new pants for the summer. Also found a health mission in town that I can donate my insulin to.

Amazing results in just few weeks! ❤️
Dr. Berry you saved us! I put my husband who has type 2 diabetes on keto and acv. And his blood sugar dropped so much! He has been in the er 3 times due to ketoacidosis but now he lost 50 lbs and his blood sugar is down to where soon he will be off his meds thank you soooo much!
ACV is not necessary
Hi Doc...I'll get right to it..thank you and I owe you (trying not to be dramatic) my life.
Since my teens I've struggled with my weight, in my mid 20's to around 34yrs old I weighed in at 340/350lbs (25 stone in the UK) I lost 8 stone in one year through 'normal' product based dieting..of course 40% of it came back on, now in my late 50's my knees were swollen, joint aches, lethargic daily ups and downs etc etc...then flicking through UA-cam I found the carnivore diet, thought I'd give it a go, and 3 months later after a getting to know process, I'm 22lb lighter and still going.

Dropped 65 pounds of fat in soon to be 1 year. Thank you for your advice and blunt honesty.
I have another 40 pounds of fat to drop, and in spite of the occasional sugar cravings, I feel so much better now that I won't go back to the old way.
If I had ice cream in my house - I'd eat it, but I don't buy carbohydrates anymore, and I go to the store on a very full stomach to keep the cravings muted.
Good plan, shopping on a full stomach. I always have a list and stick to it and get out of the store quickly.
Great job, My weakness is ice cream also. I have to just walk past it I. The store. Really, I don’t go down the middle aisles anymore except for canned fish and meats, and my ice cream substitute, dark chocolate, 85 % cacao.
Strict carnivore will kill all sugar cravings as long as you do not allow anything sweet to touch your mouth. I had cravings still with keto. Carnivore killed them all. No sweetners.
Craving sugar? Check magnesium intake.
Been on team Berry for 8 months now. I tell everyone!!! Off all meds except thyroid meds. It definitely works for lifestyle with zero hunger. Yay!
My name is Ray loss my leg two years ago. I was 254 my body was out of control. When I seen you on UA-cam ,I just eat meat and lost 70 pounds in one year.
That's just fantastic, Ray, good job!!!! Many blessings to you!
Sorry to hear about your leg. But better late than never. I'd rather have a prosthetic elgs and be carnivore for the rest of my life and feel healthy, than eating a SAD and feeling constantly miserable.
Dr Ken, I have been on Keto for 30 plus days. and lost 15 lbs . I am now in a healthy weight range. I have lowered my blood pressure from 135-145/90 ( with meds cozar). to 105-112/72-73!!!!!!! I was able to stop my meds because my BP started getting too low. I have never felt better in my life.

I’m so blessed my BP has went down and I stopped 1 of my 3 pills a day and my husband has also dropped 1 of his 2 a day bp pills..praying we get off all in a few months. Have been on about 3 weeks carnivore.
You are awesome. I have never said that to anyone and I am almost 76. Great to meet a doctor that cares about their human brothers and sisters.
Carnivore has helped me so much! Love PHD advice! Thank you Dr. Berry!
You're a treasure on this planet, Dr. Berry. Would love a video on carnivore and seniors.
‘Aight! Dr B be flyin’ his OG Crip-colors! (Only missing matching bandana.)
Just wanted to say, love your videos and they've helped me so much, especially with regards to my osteoporosis.
Hiawassee Georgia, thank you Dr Berry , I work in a dr office and deal with a lot of pressure from certain people because my cholesterol went up to 276 but my trig are 69 and a1c 4.8 I’ve lost almost 50 pounds and I feel great.

Keto or carnivore? You might have to go zero carb if you’re keto or up your fat. Many people definitely don’t eat enough fat

The results are not just about losing weight. I’m 6ft 1 and for the first time for a long time I feel happier in my skin. Feel good when I go out. Taking a interest in my dress and appearance. Must admit I had given up and resigned my self to just being old. My health and mobility has improved. Swollen knees and feet a thing of the past. Feel more like the leggy seventies bird that I was. All the very best Jenny UK
Hi again doc crossville TN . come by the feed store if ya get down this way show ya a picture from the 387lb days of misery feeling great at 185 thanks once again 🙃
Thank you for all your videos and best wishes to you and your wife on your new family addition.
From wi. You are awesome keep speaking the truth. I SO would love to have u for my doctor! My healthcare has been a nightmare.
Handsome shirt Dr. Berry and YES ! That was a nice dress you bought Mama Neisha.
Menopause hit me 4 years ago, which was 2 years after I had adopted a very low carb, high fat (LCHF) lifestyle. I was fit and healthy at the time, too, and hot flashes were not a big problem. However, I still felt like a shell of my former self, and at night I would have high cortisol and racing heart that greatly disrupted my sleep for months and months. I can only imagine how bad I would have felt if I were still eating a high sugar/high starch, crap diet! I spent three years trying various oral hormone formulations, all of which had side effects that were even worse. Then I met a naturopathic / functional medicine doc who uses a pellet that is implanted in your skin and releases a small amount of estrogen and testosterone over 3-4 months. I've been doing that for over a year now, and it has helped a lot. I think the T was the key for me, and Dr. Berry is one of only two doctors (my doc being the other) who I've ever heard discuss testosterone as one of the missing hormones a menopausal woman might need.
Can you give us more info about these hormonal pellets, pls? Ta!
I missed a live stream but every week I catch this as motivation to try to kick the sugar habit again. Truth be told I’ve gotten off of vegetables and fruit. I don’t even care if I never touch a vegetable or fruit again. But it’s the pretzels chips and ice cream that I’m having trouble with.
Lots of keto recipes. Hubby loves ice cream. I bought a ninja creami. Love Maria Emmerich recipe and a couple from ketogenic woman. Both with raw eggs.
I use fresh 100% full cream sour-cream and add stevia erithrytol and vanilla to taste and it tastes like ice cream to me. Most carbs are gone from sour cream. Our tastes change. I went Keto to carnivore.
One of your best Q&A sessions Dr Berry.
Hello from Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺
Good Morning dr. I'm watching from South Africa.
When does your new book come out? Kemah, Texas, Gulf Coast. Pray for us something wicked this way comes out of the Gulf in the next few days.
Info is informative and obfuscating at the same time. One living off of alcohol, cake, cookies, and ice cream who is listening to the vagaries of bananas or spinach may be frozen in inaction. Eat eggs, meat (chicken fish beef), soluble fats for a week to experience loss of appetite. Then try to realize the next big picture (e.g. complex carbs are good, simple carbs are to be avoided at all costs; what is a starchy vegetable, etc). Meat, fat, and complex carbs is actually a balanced diet, difficult to achieve until one realizes that they can vaporize their cravings.
My favorite platform is Rumble.

Splenda needs to be consumed in liquid form. The liquid form only includes Water, Sucralose, Malic Acid, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Potassium Sorbate (Preservative). The packets still have dextrose and maltodextrin in them. Saying its zero calories is wrong.
What is the best way to get a diabetic person to gain weight without spiking blood sugar? He is 63. My husband is underweight with diabetes 2. He has never in his life had an overweight problem but diabetes runs in his family. Both mother and father and neither one of them were overweight either. Putting weight on him is a chore, but he only manages with diet. No prescription meds. Symptoms started around 15 years ago.
Hey Dr Barry I live in St Louis Missouri but I'm watching this video in St Paul Island Alaska.
Hi Amy, I'm having a wonderful day hope you're having the same God bless you as well ❤️❤️💪
Omg you hit the nail on the head with family thinking you're too skinny and something is wrong.
I gave in and had two bagels, had the worst sweating flash I've ever had.
Thank you 🙏 I'm here in Ontario 🤗
Hi Dr. Barry - watching from Manassas, VA
Anyone here watching the TV show "The food that built America" ? Just started watching the latest show about Entenmens and Little Debbie. The whole series is interesting. I'm 62 and don't really remember these snack cakes, twinkies, devil dogs, etc. until around 3rd to 4th grade. So that's around the time that all of this crud food started including fast food like McDonald's, etc. Sadly, fast food back then was probably healthier than now. No seed oils and it was really a once a week, or month, treat. Now most people consider it normal daily food.
This is great Dr. Berry but I'm guessing, since I am 4 days late that you respond after in the next videos, after you launch the video. I seriously need help on my carnivore-Organs & 2x fats diet.
Having cheated with sweet pastries too many times my gut is not healed and that's with 4 days of fasting due to illness. I thought I could cheat sneaking in a few goodies but...Holy crap, you just told me my binges have converted me in and out of sugar burning while eating fats! How dangerous is that? Recent AI blood checks that showed no AI; and a general check up didn't alarm the Dr. except for the high LDL!
I just signed up on your Patron channel and look forward to more specific & intimate conversations as I need your help, after 2+ years of Carnivore, adding supplements and still over heating after meals & at night though it was resolved prior to cheat binging!
Yes please read Dr. Bill Schindlers book! I would love to know what you think about it.
Dickson TN here!
Thank you for advice, I’m diabetic D2, and have gone from 15 units of insulin Abasaglar to 0 after 4 weeks.
And I also lost some weight
well done. funny how doctors don't explain how easy it is to reverse D2
I appreciate your expert and honest advice!

Two questions for you: is there an ideal for you? Ideal hba1c#, ideal body fat%, ideal glucose level after a meal? Etc...Second, if one's metabolism is fast, wouldn't his glucose level be (more) flexible and varies much more i.e. spike and dip? You know... like your heart rate. Great to have low resting hr, but it's variance is also great, no? Like your take on that😊
Where is your Patreon link. Thanks for such great information. Always look forward to new videos.
I have hashis like your wife. When I try any diet, keto,very lowcarb or carnivore,I start waking up 2-3x a night. It's not just a temporary thing, it lasts months until I'm so tired and frustrated, I give in to carbs so can sleep. I've tried extra salt, extra fat, melatonin, nothing helps, besides more carbs. Besides the sleep issue, I actually feel good eating like this.
I was under tremendous stress and had to give up coffee/caffeine as well as being keto. Went to a naturopath and got adrenal supplement. Helped so much with sleep and energy/stamina. Some meditation and exercise for relaxation as well
Hi from St Pete Florida
Hello Dr. Berry, I've quick one, I'm about to start a ketovore lifestyle, and my question is, what about what the animals are being fed, if its farm raise pasture raise is good and if they are grain fed, that makes a lot of difference. Will I not loose stored fat if I eat grain fed animals?
Thank you.
When this came on I was cooking my husband a big New York steak for dinner with sautéed mushrooms
Sorry I missed your live Q&A.. Will you please address this issue of "How to remain on a Keto or Carnivore diet during this time of "high inflation" and " Food Shortages" projected to get much worse over time. If it becomes un-affordable to buy meat, eggs, bacon etc what do you suggest as a healthy diet???
So glad I found you!
From Nashville Tennessee, Dr. Berry, I've been on a keto diet and have lost 60 pounds. My Doctor told me I can't be on a keto diet because I have EPI! Is this true? Love your programs, watch all the time. Keep up the good work.
Watching from prineville Oregon
I understand that alcohol is not the best but what alcohol would you recommend as the least toxic?
Love you and Neisha.
I have ulcerative colitis and using pentasa granules, azathioprine and humira but still my colitis is sometimes really bad, now also since last few weeks I am having flares. I am gaining weight and cannot eat red meats too often.
Question:
Can I eat veal and beef only, on the Carnivore diet, or is the veal too lean and should I just do the ground beef??
Thanks for any feedback, and God bless you all🙂❤️🙏
Washington State🌹
I will cook leaner meat in pork fat. I agree that 100% fatty beef is the most yummy, satisfying and enjoyable meat.
Sad i missed it. I had two questions about the carnivor diet. Is it also suitable for children or is keto a better option?
Is there a way to get more fibers in because of indegestion problems.
If anyone has any idea please let me know.
From West Virginia!
Dr Berry: love your content! Please switch to Rumble!
Please dr Ken, talk about ingredients to watch out for, those like for preserving the food, the colorants, the sunflower oil
Dr. Berry, your PHD behind LOGO is my LOGO! Please, be HONEST TO YOUR SELF AND STOP USING MY LOGO!
Over time I gained 10 pounds a year but in 10 months I have lost 50 pounds. 5 years worth of weight gain 😀
Good Evening from Northwest Wisconsin Dr. Berry. I am trimming off the silver skin from a beef tenderloin. Outside of putting this in with my bones for bone-broth, do you know if there a use for this?
That is pure collagen building-blocks, either put that in your bone broth, or use it in another recipe; I personally eat it right along with the tenderloin...
@@KenDBerryMD Collagen? Cool, I will try eating it and also keep adding it to my broth. Thanks so much for all you do to help people.
I eat it raw.
Searching your YT page for Allulose.

I turn bright red after eating carbs or gluten... It sucks when we eat out. also concentrated grape juice can be called "grape must"
Hi also from Melbourne Australia. What do you think about red light therapy :).
Scarlotte from Missouri (misery) I am in this insulin and diet, up and down ride. I take the insulin and then I eat like crazy. I have no control. I was off soda, and now I'm hooked again. I try to listen to some of your u-tube videos and keep in contact with my doctors. What do you do if you think the doctors are keeping you sick, so they can continue treatment? I'm tired of taking all this medicine. I'll keep listening to you.
Read Dr. Berry’s book, “Lies my Doctor Tells Me”. It will enlighten you and maybe give you the motivation you need to keep going the extra mile. You believe how easy it is and how good you will feel.
Get off all the processed foods first, and up your meat. Then get rid of the bread, pasta and starchy veg. No canola or other seed oils. Cook in bacon grease or beef drippings. And read Dr. Bernstein’s book ( Diabetes Solution)about T1D.
Going carnivore is the only thing that kicked my cravings
Are you T1D?
@@youtuber5222 No, I am Type 2 Diabetic
Hi Doc, can you interview someone about the environment and meat? We buy from local farmers, but still challenged by others about 100% carnivore lifestyle. Feel great, thank you and God bless!!!
Erythritol is imho the best sweetener. It doesn't affect glucose/insulin levels and isn't digested.
What about stevia and monk fruit?
Oh... i had a food intolerance test and it turns out i'm very intolerant to egg whites, yeast, and wheat. Those things are in everything. Then i saw a friend in the week and had burrito but i didnt eat the bread but i did eat the bloody rice... woke up feeling ill. Yesterday i went to a dance and my frie d wanted food after and i feltbad for her to eat alone so i had something. I ordered a burger thinking i could not eat the bread. IT WAS A VEGAN BURGER.... it wasnt clear on their stupid online menu, so this week has been ruined and i feel awful mentally and physically and i had been feeling so well as a carnivore.
Web MD says, "Nicotine changes chemical processes in your cells so they don't respond to insulin and let it in, a condition called insulin resistance. Your cells need insulin so they can take glucose out of your blood and use it for energy. When they can't, the glucose stays in your blood, and your blood sugar level goes up". I find this to be a very interesting topic and can it be what possibly stops some people from loosing weight?
Yes, Neisha is right. The best sweetener for ice cream is Allulose!
Love your username, lol.
How are we going to be able to do carnivore with what seems a war on meat eating by those with the reigns of power ?
Question: Is olive oil a no-go? I just started seeing your videos (very prolific number of them) a couple of months ago. I've heard you speak ill of vegetable oils, but most of those are made with grains and olives are not a grain.
Olive and avocado are ok because they don't go through the same gnarly process as vegetable\canola oil. Idk much about avocado, but for olive preferably extra virgin and single origin, which will be on the label somewhere usually with a 2 letter abbreviation for the country of origin. Coconut oil is good too.

Dr. Berry. I need to ask you a very personal question. I don' t think i have seen you wear the same shirt twice. Just how many shirts do you own?
So much good info as usual, back on fasting and keto after a break. You give a lot of information on bile and gallbladder stones, but you never talk polyps. Have one 11mm not causing any symptoms but being that size they want to remove gallbladder as could be cancerous. So against this, waiting another scan to see if it is grown. What choice do I have?
Hi from France. Haute Vienne
Tucson, AZ
Been on PHD for about 2 mo months now... lost weight to
78.6 kg... also noticed the calluses near my bunion is going away... cool... because it used to split and bleed!
Eat a couple of smalll slices of cheese with butter most days, and use cream in coffee and occasionally cocoa... basics- no sugar!
The calluses I've had on the bottom of my feet are slowly going away. Exact same shoes.
@@c_b5060 ... a pleasant surprise ... eh? So many benefits...
Love it!

Can you have half and half or heavy cream on carnivore or is butter the only thing outside of meat and eggs allowed?

Doc I also notice a shiny surface on my toilet water surface from urine. Only when I am in ketosis. Not sure it's oil like that guy said but it is definately shiny. It's how I can tell I'm in ketosis.
From Nashville Tennessee, Dr. Berry, I've been on a keto diet for 90 days and lost 60 pounds. I'm 70 years old, and my Doctor said I can not be on a keto diet because I have EPI. Is this true? Love your programs. Watch all the time. Keep up the good work!
I would get a 2nd and 3rd opinion on that. Congrats on losing the excess!
How is your digestion? With EPI the pancreas does not make enough of the enzymes needed to break down fats and proteins so that is why he is saying you can’t eat keto. Yet, you’ve been eating keto for 90 days…are you having digestive issues or constipation? Maybe he is wrong if you’re not having any issues. But you could also consider taking a supplement of digestive enzymes to help break down the protein and fat. Think about how you feel, what symptoms did you have for him to diagnose you with EPI? Are you still having them? Are they improving with how you’re eating or have they gotten worse? If I had symptoms and got a diagnosis but then went on a diet that made me feel better and made symptoms go away then I would stick with my diet. But if symptoms didn’t improve or worsened then I might have to do something different. Of course if you stop and think about it even plants have proteins and fats that have to be digested…if it was me, I would listen to my body and how I feel.
Dr. Berry, could you recommend a doctor to me in Buffalo, NY or somewhere closer? I know it's a longshot. Thank you for everything you do!
He's got a video on here with several websites to find a low carb friendly doc. I found mine on the site for the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners, which was suggested by Dr Rob Cywes (also here on YT)
Just received your book lies my doctor told me. Started reading it from the forwards! Dr Berry. I'm ketovore, very meat heavy but have gained 3 lbs in the past month. Why? Bacon and eggs for first meal. Meat for dinner. I'm puzzled!
You should research intermittent fasting, skip breakfast & eat meat/fat heavy lunch & dinner between 12-6pm or 1-7pm.
You might not need to lose weight. Has your body composition improved?
A lot of women increase the density of their skeletons.. I would assume most women have slighlty underweight skeletons on the standard western diet.. also you gain muscle without extra excercise at the start of eating correctly
You're consuming more calories than what you're burning.
Have you increased your muscle mass?

I loose weight very fast...lost 17 lbs in 2 weeks.i have me/cfs.a horrific disease I can say for sure...taking me a lot of years to pull out of it.
i’m so sorry… I used to be deathly sick similarly… they found out after a bazillion doctors and tests and YEARS… it was actually Lyme disease. they greatly are similar. don’t know if that’s the case for you, but thought I would mention. also YES on the weight loss. I could lose the same amount. I was 88 lbs at my lowest. I almost died from malnutrition. the only thing that saved me was God and eating soft boiled meat and broth. finally got my gut functioning again and slowly added foods in over the course of about 4 years. now I am a healthy 120 lbs at my average weight. and feel very good almost every day. I eat meat based diet, some low carb veggies, very few normal veggies and some fruit.
