Bacon and eggs fried in bacon grease EVERY DAY! Lost 58lbs, reversed type 2 diabetes and cured fatty liver. All my labs are perfect and I’m 53 years old! Thank you Dr. Berry!
My story is VERY similar! Started at age 62, lost 82 lbs, came off ALL meds, reversed T2D, came off CPAP for sleep apnea! Intermittent Fasting was part of it (OMAD) for a year or more.
I did the same thing and all my blood work went into the green zone. My Dr was shocked to find out what I was eating in the Carnivore diet. Lost 28 pounds and still going strong. Thanks to Dr Ken Berry!
@@dustinwillis3261 omg!!! Yuck...and we gave this to our toddlers😢. Wish I could go back 20 yrs with the knowledge I have now. ...I'd feed my son totally different,!
My dad ate bacon and eggs, especially eggs, every single day, sometimes he'd eat a half dozen eggs in a morning, he'd eat one, then say "Just one more" and eat another. He was one of the strongest men I've ever known. When he was 85 he was having anxiety because my mother had died and they were together for nearly 70 years. I took him to the doctor and the doctor checked him out then stepped back and looked at him and said, move over and give me the bed, you're healthier than I am. He had the blood pressure and heart rate of my 18 year old grandson who was an elite athlete. My father rarely ate vegetables, I don't recall ever seeing him eat fruit. He loved meat and that's mostly what he ate and it was always cooked always with bacon fat or butter. Slathered butter on everything, sometimes just eating a knifeful of butter because he loved the taste. He lived to 89 years old and there was nothing wrong with him, his health was great, but he missed my mother so much that he just stopped wanting to live.
@@davidrodgers4760 You're a tough cookie, I mostly eat Steak Pizzaiola, meatballs and Italian sausage. I snack on prosciutto di Parma but I always have an Italian pastry or biscotti for dessert.
Nice story..thanks nice man,how did he like to cook his steaks,oven broiled med rare!!??What exactly specifically do U eat on carnivore. We what did it cure?
My grandpa was a farmer. Every morning without fail he ate 2 poached eggs smashed with about a 1/4 stick of butter and heavy cream. Lunch and dinner were usually beef or pork, with a vegetable. He didn't like potatoes because they left him hungry too quickly. He lived to be 99, and I don't remember him ever being sick.
I'm 72, type 2 diebetic and morbidly obese. About one year ago I switched my eating to primarily meat, eggs, and bacon. I have lost 37lbs thus far. My pant size 36inch down from 42. All the swelling in my feet and ankles is gone. No longer suffer from Diarea. I have the energy to go to the gym. I'm optimistic about the future and that wasn't the case a year ago. Thank you Dr. BARRY
WTF. You are joking right? I worked for a 92 year old last year who still kept up with her grandkids, drove herself places, and went for brisk walks everyday. She could out argue anyone on youtube. What on earth possessed you to say such an abusrd thing? @@MichaelSmith-fi8ni
As a 64-year-old man, I am so pissed off that I deprived myself of bacon and eggs for decades because we were told to eat corn flakes and rice crispies…with a big glass of sugar, um, I mean orange juice. Trying to make up for lost time. Oh ya, two months on keto-down 12 pounds.
Awesome news! I am starting to seriously watch my carb intake, myself, so your results are encouraging for me, too! That bacon and egg lie is just one of many lies that some members of my family fell prey to many years ago, and they are feeling the betrayal, too. I am completely in favor of free enterprise, but is truly criminal the way some businesses use marketing tactics to repress and even issue false information to support their greed at the expense and quality of life of their patrons. Makes me wonder what revelations will be next. Congrats on the weight loss and hope you continue with good results! Enjoy your bacon and eggs! 😋
I used to eat 5 slices of bacon for breakfast with eggs and butter and it always made me feel great and help me lose a little weight. I stopped because people told me that it was increasing my chances of heart disease/cancer. I'm so glad I watched this video, can't wait to go back to it.
The heart disease statement always makes me laugh. They say this while consuming there vegetable,canola, corn or seed oil that causes inflammation which is what causes heart disease.
Preach it brother. My favourite cereal is BAE. We have been lied to for 50 plus years. Tricked into believing that this garbage in a package is fit for human consumption. If it has sugar, avoid it like the plague. If it is a carbohydrate, keep it to a minimum or avoid it all together.
Now imagine if you used fruits, vegetables, and fresh juices! You would be running two miles a day and be thankful for life but hey that's just my experience.
@@Chase-vq6eq You do you. Fruit has sugar and it has a negative effect on your blood glucose. (Berries in moderation) Same thing with root vegetables and some above ground vegetables such as corn. Don’t take my word for it, get yourself a glucose meter and start testing your own blood sugars after eating that stuff. Check out Dr. Richard Bernstein. Basically, what a type 1 diabetic should eat is how we should all eat. That means zero sugars. I don’t eat anything of that garbage anymore. What you fail to realize about fruits is that hundreds of years ago humans only had access to fruit several times a year. Now you have it at your fingertips all day everyday day.
@@Chase-vq6eq two rebuilt knees (after loosing 125 lb.) my running days are behind me. Diabetes and fruit juice don't mix. Keto and low carbs keeps me off insulin ($2000 to $3000 a month savings). I do walk now but I can not erase the years of bad choices. I thank God for the time I have left before talking with Jesus.
I've been eating sausage and eggs-- cause the bacon around here is just no good.. I love good bacon- baked it in the oven-- loved it- but last few months it's all just almost sickening.. don't know if it's the store- or what..
A couple days ago, I ate a whole package of bacon. My wife was concerned the keto diet was bad for my health with all the salt and fat. But mostly she was upset because I didn't save her any bacon.
I do this often. Thin sliced in the oven at 365 degrees on a baking sheet till you see bubbles. With the thicker sliced bacon add water to the botom of the baking sheet so the thicker fat proprly renders before the meat dries out.
My mom lived 96 years and was very healthy up until 2 months before she died. We ate bacon and eggs 3-5 days per week. She kept a container of salt next to the stove, We raised gardens and she canned many types of fruit and vegies. We hunted and fished and we ate what we killed. I miss those days....
65 years old. Bacon and eggs everyday low carb no sugar diet. Apple cider vinegar twice a day. Omega 3 supplements plus magnesium and Vit D3 with K2 and 10000 steps a day. Lost 39 lbs thrown my statin and Lansoprasole in the bin. I feel 30 years younger and absolutely wonderful. Thank you Dr Berry.
Nah, I quit trying to convince people. All I get is ridicule when I try to explain that meat and fats are good for you. The stuff that most people believe just makes me angry. I was at the farmers market the other day and some dude asked me why I was buying so much veal pate. I said because it was made of 90% veal liver and that liver is possibly the most nutrient dense food out there. He laughed and said when you heat up liver you lose all possible nutrients and that chikpeas was the real superfood. I got so mad I almost asked him to lift his shirt up to show us the flat stomach he got from eating chickpeas. Oh wait, he couldn't because he had a belly so big that his shirt buttons were screaming from pain.
OMG, LOL... I never laughed so hard at such an honest statement!! The way you described the scene i could see it so well in my mind. That guy had to be a serious clown!!
Lmao yeah I have the same problem. My mom is convinced that animal fat is bad for you and she eats turkey bacon and whatnot. Like, she literally got mad at me for feeding my brothers the fat from a steak that I made (they wanted to try it and they liked it) and said that if I don't listen to her, I'll get heart disease or something. One of my friends thinks that veggies are essential. I am still fat from diet ngl but only because I had to eat out so much bc I kept running out of carnivore foods. I just need to get the inexpensive ones and keep it going. I'll lose weight then and eat more steaks when I can afford it, not when I think I can lol. Anyways, ya'lls stories are inspiring. Most of my other friends are supportive so that's nice. I have a lot of ground ruminant animal meats in my fridge. Unfortunately I don't have enough to last me until next time I shop so I'll have to eat out for a minute. It'll be worth it once I get my carnivore foods: eggs, bacon, sausage, maybe salami and pepperoni, cheese, yogurt, beef, chicken thighs (bone in and w/ skin ofc) and maybe some berries. Thing is both of those people speaking bad on my beliefs lost weight eating what they eat. I haven't lost any yet, once again bc I kept running out of food before I could lose anything. The longest I lasted was 2 two weeks. I eat a lot more than I think I do. I forget that when I shop. It's a struggle but hopefully they'll see my progress and will get off my case and maybe even believe me and try it themselves. Doubtful, but worth hoping. Good day
@@darlenebattle3005 Buy ground pork, ground beef, eggs, bacon, cheese and pork rinds for a snack. Just have a steak once a week. Brown .5 lb of pork or beef and add 6 to 8 scrambled eggs. Top it off with shredded cheese and some sour cream. It taste good and you will be full for several hours.
Agreed. It might be cynical but I have just given up trying to convince people that animal flesh is good for them. It's just so ingrained into our ideas of health.
@@jgreen9361 doctors don't say things like that. they say things like "take this shot to prevent a virus, even though the shot didn't work the previous year, or the year before that, or the year before that....in fact, that silly virus seems to be MUTATING! so let's take an additional shot! and as for that creepy mole on your neck? my GOOGLE research says we should just monitor it and see what it does. no need to get invasive....

@@banderas2000- From my understanding, sausages often contain some sort of carb (usually wheat based) to bulk them out. So, best check the ingredients.
After reading all these testimonials, I had to add my own. I’ve been following you for a while, sir, and I find your advice very informative. Four months on carnivore down 44 pounds 232 to 188. I’m 63. It was difficult at first, but now it’s become a way of life. my inflammation is way down. It was almost to the point where I could barely walk. I have to work every day as a carpenter so I had to do something. This has changed my life without a doubt. To be fair the only time I hurt is when I cheat and have a sandwich. It’s within a day if not immediately. Thank you.
I've read all the comments--very interesting! I love bacon, but hardly ever eat it, (due to common beliefs), except in burgers, or when having breakfast with friends. Didn't know it had such great nutritional value. Still weary about the fat, but I won't feel guilty anymore.
Growing up in the 50’s and 60’s, we ate bacon frequently and my mom kept a coffee can on the stove full of bacon grease to use for cooking. Oh, and we were beanpole skinny.
Yeah the can for drippings. I use one now too. The empty wild caught salmon cans are the best for that. lol. I’m going to try to make bacon mayonnaise with the next full one. 😀
As a young wife/mother in the late 60's, early 70's, I did too because all of the women in my family did and they were fabulous cooks.. It was a special little container, with the word 'grease' written on it to pour your hot bacon grease in. I put it in all of my fresh vegetables and cornbread. It made it so yummy! I knew that if my grandmother did something, it was healthy and good!
My grandmother lived to be 104 and was never sick in her life. She put bacon grease in everything she cooked and ate a lot of bacon everyday. She was a size 12 for 80 years. It's healthy.
same! except mine was my greatgrandmother & she lived to be 102. Bacon everything! and sausage and lard and even chocolate and peanut butter lol She was 90 lbs soaking wet and full of bananas lol Oh! She also dipped snuff! lol But only at home, never in public or in mixed company! =]
My family to my grandma was 90 wouldn't have died then except she had never been to a Dr and refused to go her hip broke crossing a creek to get hen eggs .she raised her own hogs.used every bit of the hog. Just nitrates put in in processing. And most large farms the feed is bad.
@Jodie Masterson when she was young a size 12 was probably smaller than a current day size 8 or 10. Sizing is much different today than it was 40 years ago.
My daughter is going to love this. She absolutely loves bacon and when she worked on a show where most of the people were vegan her Sunday breakfast was a big pile of bacon. They could not believe it. I warned her about it too because that's what I was taught. Thank you for clarifying this.
I went carnivore 10 weeks ago and eat a bacon omelette of 4 large eggs and 1/4 k of bacon with plenty of salt and butter for breakfast every day followed by 1/2k of fatty beef mince in the evening. I haven't felt this good for a long time and I'm 64. Thanks for all your great videos Ken.
My wife went to a new cardiologist who told her that statins should be in the water supply and that a low fat/high carb diet was the best. She stood up and walked out.
@@dorsetboronia4551 Her cardiologist retired so she was searching for a new one. She has an artificial heart valve so needs to be checked from time to time.

My Mother bought Lard in 5 gallon bucket's which she used to fry with. God Bless her, she lived to be almost 92, don't tell me that Bacon is bad for you!
There's 1 bad thing I can think of about Bacon, our Freezer isn't big enough for the amount we need, it's a struggle I tell you. 🥓 TFS, & take care too everybody. ❤🙂🐶
I'm 70 it's been about 2 yrs plus mostly eating lots of BEEF, BACON, EGGS, BUTTER, and plant based carbohydrates and the carb count is 25 and below and 95% of the time its 1 meal a day, I eat bacon, chicharones, beef jerky sugar free with the least amount of additives as possible and good cheese as a snack, I've gone from 223 pounds to 163 pounds, swelling in ankles and calves gone I couldn't raise my arms above my shoulders without extreme pain and this had been going on for years, now don't laugh I can put my shirt on and wash my hair with both arms no pain. and it's all because I trusted and listened to Dr. Berry.
Hi there friend, I'm a newby on the set here folks @ 71 yrs. old . I've been on carnivore now one month .. the only time it seems I ate beef was when I went to McDonald's and kind of still do because their burgers which are 100 % beef just flat out tastes yummy to me with a diet coke. I'm hoping I can someday in the near just stop their burgers and only eat mine @ home which taste even better and bigger .. I love lots of pickles . And a thick slice of tomato and some lettuce too .. Have a real nice Holiday folks, and remember .. " Jesus is the reason for the season. " Jesus loves you guy's & so do I . Whatch your steps out there .. it's Christmas time .. the real crazy time of year . 😎🤗 Doug
@@DouglasL-pb4ro Check out his video on the woman who's only been eating meat for 12 yrs she was a great fan of McDonalds patties and diet coke when starting out, Dr. Berry has had a few as well as I have just keep your mindset and stick to it, once you start making your own.😋🥓🧂🧈☕I'm having a cup of coffee with butter in it right now.
@@legaleagleandpaws8198 i actually bake it in the oven, on foil, is that ok? i feel like i would need a cast iron for each dif type of meat and that they're a pain to clean?
Started carnivore diet on 1 May. 4 burger patties cooked in butter, 3-6 eggs a day. Somtimes cheese, sometimes salmon. Dropped 16 lbs and haven't started working out yet. Glucose level normal. Thanks Dr. Berry!
My grandparents lived to 98. They had a farm and ate all the fat on meats, raw milk, eggs, cheese, olive oil only, glass of wine a day etc and almost everything they grew themselves and a glass of fire water (aguardente) in the morning because of the extreme cold in winter and they did not have the health issues associated with a modern diet as per the experts. Makes you think!!!. keep it natural as much as possible.
I'm sure there's some genetic predisposition to mental illnesses such as Alzheimer's and other dementias, but I often wonder if a lower carb diet and more good fats would help protect the brain from some dementias. Approximately 60% of the brain is fat so it makes sense to feed your body with some good fats.
@@user-hn9qg5qm3o I'm no doctor, but I know a lot more about nutrition and good health than your common white coat, I will literally bet my life and the lives of all I hold dear when I say food is medicine, and feeding yourself the right foods will undoubtedly stave off all disease.
@@aidamaciel9337 My grandfather was a rancher; I know occasionally he would have a shot of whiskey when he wasn't feeling his usual self which was rare; He died when he was 87 form bladder cancer; he was smoker then kind that like to roll his own; his diet was primarily beef.
I had to come back to this video and share it on the seniors forum when I was seeing the bacon myths on it this morning. People still believe eating sugar, grains and fruit is good for them and bacon is the devil. Thank you, Dr. Berry!
When the big corps financed the food research what's the results gonna be? They also financed the research for textbooks that our modern "doctors" read.
I'm not trying to get religious, but the bible says, Do not eat an animal with a cloven hoof. ( l know that covers cows too, but they are gass - fed. They dont eat poop in the pen like hogs do ).
I grew up believing salt clotted your blood leading to heart issues and when I became a vegan activist I was told that bacon was a carcinogenic that causes cancer, I’m now 51 and just started the carnivore WOE and never felt better physically and mentally 🥩❤️
@@jimmycain8669 society is confusing so many Lies and confusion. so you can not blame a individual for being confused in this mess its not that shocking. most are confused their entire Life.
I remember many years ago Johnny Carson interviewing a lady that was over 100. He asked her what she ate for breakfast, and she told him bacon and eggs. She said "you can't live on that other crap."
She was right. There’s almost nothing in a bowl of sugar-coated processed grains that the human body needs, or can even do anything with, aside from immediately store it as excess fat.
@@JohnnyAmerique That's a ridiculous comment. They're not immediately stored as fat. That depends on a person's weight, BMI and metabolism. Grains can play a huge role in human biology and can be very beneficial depending on how much and how they're enjoyed, also with less acidic purines from higher meat oriented consumption that leads to gout and inflammation.
Bacon & eggs were a staple at our house growing up! We had a can on top of the stove that had a strainer in the top portion, it was made specifically to filter out all the junk in bacon grease. That can was always at least half full and my mom used bacon grease to cook pretty much everything. Who needs buttered popcorn when you pop it in bacon grease? It's so tasty! That is how I learned to cook. Anyway my mother lived until she was 94 and still had all her faculties, sharp as a tack and still working part time right up until a month before she passed. Still had all her own teeth and up until that final month had not been a patient in the hospital since 60 years prior when I was born. I used to listen to all the advice about food until they started trying to tell us that eggs were bad for you. Well I knew from personal experience that was a load of crap so I quit taking them seriously.
Bacon, it's what's for dinner! Bacon is good for you! It is Dr. Berry and his videos that said I should eat bacon to get through my withdrawal from being a carb/sugar burner to become a fat burner. And I ate a ton of it! As Doc Berry always says, "eat fat to lose fat." Lost 65 lbs because of Dr. Berry and Dr. Fung. Awesome UA-cam channel!
My Dad is almost 101years old. He has been eating bacon daily since he could eat solid food! He was a country boy. They raised there own hogs, and hung the sides in their own smoke house!Eer day my Grandad would go out and cut a days supply of bacon. When my Dad wad 8 or so he learned how to build the fire so the smoke would be just right. One day he would milk a Jersey cow and his twin brother would build the fire in the smoke house, the next day he would build the fire and his brother would milk the cow. Then they would gather the eggs from the chickens.
I'm 81 years old and on the second day of March 2023 I started following you doctor and have started my carnivore diet. Really appreciate your videos as well as this one. Hope I can keep this up. Lost about 12 lb already.
Hey there, Mr Smith. Thanks for yours. And thanks of course, Doctor Berry! I'm also 81, quite fit and on June 1 began (rigidly) following the good doctor. Today's Day 47 and I'm 41 Lbs lighter than when I began. Have a trainer and also continue targeting to walk 10+ Kilometers (+/- 6.2 miles) every day. Never hungry. Never bored.
Great advice and video! My Grandmother ate bacon and eggs every morning and cooked with lard. She was physically strong and had a sharp mind all the way up to her passing at age 93. Looking back I realized that she ate a mostly carnivore diet with some non-starchy veges and no sugar. I'm glad to follow in her footsteps! Thanks Dr. Ken!!!
The lard sold in supermarkets is full of trans fats and has been adulterated and destroyed, as has much of our food supply. Seems they do not want us to collect social security.
yup. The USDA/WHO "nutritional" guidelines are making people sick and are anti meat. I am doing a ketogenic low carb carnivore diet. A few leafy greens as garnishments.
My Nana would keep lamb & hogget drippings in a tin canister on the window sill. Everything was cooked in it. My great grandfather's would spread it on bread instead of butter. We'd collect it from out of the griller (broiler) after grilling fatty lamb chops and strain it back into the can. Our ancestors ate so well.
My Liver function test was 125 10 years ago. Now 330. I’m on a mission right now been on Carnivore on and off since March. I used to cheat alot with ice cream and chocolate etc as I’m an addict to sugar. I’m 2 full weeks into Strict Carnivore now wish me luck. I’m committed this time I’m 6ft 3 33yrs was 117 in March now as of today 107.8 taken at Lunch time. Thanks for all the prayers and support.
This doctor with his advice turned my health around. I was on the way out with diabetes took his advice went carnivore. My a1c is in the normal range now. He’s a truly knowledgeable physician thank you.
With all of the disruption in our lives in the last 2 years, I got off track, but my goal is to return to keto. It's just the best...physically and mentally.
11 months ago, I started keto intermittent fasting. I'm down 26kg, no longer need diabetes mediication, HbA1c 5. And my cholesterol is so low I no longer take statins. Thanks Doc!
Thanks for dispelling the myths of bacon. As an athlete, I have always consumed bacon for its nutritional worth. The old saying, "Tell a lie enough times and people will believe it" certainly holds true for bacon.
@@mohammadamazon9029 You are totally entitled to not eat bacon, silly to think you should, that's why it is great that there are so many other options 😉👍 It does surprise me though that feeling that way you would bother to click on this vid🙄😅 Have a great weekend 👍
I went on a keto diet a year ago. Bacon and eggs are one of my primary meals.. And so far, I lost 60 lbs.. And my blood pressure has gone back to normal
I have lost 4 stone in the last 6 months doing dirty keto, i don't measure anything, eat far too many salted peanuts(not keto i knoe but not stopping me loseing weight yet) cheese, bacon/ fried eggs/omelettes and constantly have a pan of chilli ready to eat. Gonna start running again soon as im pretty much fat adapted now and want to push it a little
This Dr. has given us the knowledge that EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR! I love how he debunks all of the lies that we were told, concerning beef and bacon and butter! My husband and son and I thank you for giving us the TRUTH!!
6 months on a proper human diet and down 38 lbs - from 186 to 148. Blood pressure issues gone, cardiologist happy, feeling great. Keep it up Dr. Ken - you and a handful of honest medical professionals are helping to dispel the myths and more importantly shining a light on the corruption - yep - I said it - CORRUPTION. When companies see profits they, generally speaking, lose most concern for their customers or patients. It’s the almighty dollar. BRING ON THE BACON.
Nice work! I share your disgust with people who have profited off harmful myths and lies. I bought into the low fat nonsense as a teen and developed anorexia. Royally screwed up my health, thyroid, metabolism, muscle mass all shot to pieces. I had such a fat phobia that I avoided butter, eggs, and bacon altogether throughout my 20s. I could really kick myself now for believing so many lies, but at least I've finally got on the right track now. Slowly healing my metabolism on the very things I used to be terrified of eating, and feeling so much better mentally as well.
Thank you very much for educating me, I switched to keto diet 3 months ago after watching your you tube channel, I am 69 years old, a cancer survivor, esophageal, had high blood pressure, gone now, prediabetic, also receding, and feel better, more energy than I have had in years, again thank you. I also have lost 25+ pounds. I would encourage everyone to watch and learn.
Thank You Dr. Ken Berry, that was very damn helpful, answers a few lingering questions. and better than I thought with it's protein and mineral content. I was 76 6 months ago and wasting away, now feel great on Carnivore, digestion and appetite are excellent, Thanks Again it was one of your videos that first caught my attention. You buddy, saved my life, or added 10-20 years onto it and btw I'm having a great time, working hard at piano and flute, and my 3 cats ( 2 adorable new kittens ) love me.
So many 'yo mama' jokes, lol. I had a steak (fried in the bacon grease) and five pieces of bacon and two eggs yesterday for dinner and it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. Hubby ruined his bacon and eggs with the big chunk of bakery bread he ate it on. Plus bonus, two hours later, my blood sugar was the lowest it had been all day (even fasting). That's good enough for me
Well this blows my mind. I also had believed the establishment cancer bacon nitrates story. This is eye opening. Unfortunately just yesterday I ordered 3 kg or 7 Ib of nitrates free bacon. I hope they haven’t substituted sugar in the process.
I know a low carb diet works. I did Atkins several years ago and lost 25 pounds. My labs were all lower and I felt great. I eventually slowly drifted away from it because of all the misinformation out there that confuses you. Just started KETO..same principle..low carb. This time I'm sticking with it. Your videos are fantastic for keeping us informed with the truth. Thank you so much for doing this. You are saving people's lives and adding years to their lives. Keep the video's coming DOC!!!
During the war a rasher of bacon was 2 thin slices a week per person. They complain about the sugar ration on TV shows now when talking about it. The sugar ration was 8 oz per person each week. Way more sugar than anyone would need. I use 1/4 cup once a month with yeast to fed the septic system. Also pull it out for company for their coffee. I would be trading sugar rations for bacon.
I eat six slices of bacon per day with one of my two keto meals and alongside fasting, I have managed to lose 103 pounds and keep it off. I think that it is more likely that I would succumb to serious illness, if I maintained my previous unhealthy weight of 313 pounds!
@@countchocula776 Hi, I can give you two examples of meals that I consume each day. 1) Two egg omelette with melted cheese, plus 4-6 rashers of bacon - breakfast. 2) Two ground beef burger patties, broccoli, cottage cheese, feta cheese and a keto flatbread - which I make myself as a 'filler' and replacement for pasta, rice, potatoes and noodles. Hope this helps - ''It Takes fat to Lose Fat''
@@RobCLynch Congrats man!! Getting that weight down big time, happy to hear you're doing so well. Is there a recipe online for the keto flatbread you make and does it taste decent?
They have been saying to cut fat and eat more carbs for 20+ years and really everyone has gotten more fatter. We have to step away from that bad recommendation. People have been eating meats with fat for thousands of years and only recently did we have a problem with heart disease. Much of that is probably due to vegetable oils and deep frying.
I’ve been listening to this Dr for quite sometime only to find my doctor agrees with him. What a bombshell, he asked what are you eating, told him and he simply said; “It works and you’re very muscular for a 58 year old guy, keep it up!!
I have raynauds syndrome, since I was 13. I don't want to survive off of chemical vaso-dilators (blood pressure meds) when winter temps drop too low, but still want to be able to function... one of the things that came up in my many researches over many years about natural ways to manage it was nitric oxide... And then i started seeing things about celery salts, nitrites and nitrates in processed foods having adverse - even cancerous - effects! Well, thank you a million times over, dad, i got blessed with your logical mind! Right away when I was reading these articles, i was like, "but nitrites and nitrates are necessary precursors for nitric oxide, or did i miss something in chemistry class? 🤔
Bacon grease and green beans are the best. I cooked up some bacon and dumped the green beans into the pan and my wife thought I was crazy, until she ate the beans. She loved it.
u know cholesterol response varies from person to person, and that men suffer much more than women in general? So just cause your grandma lived that way doesn't mean it will work for you. My grandma smoked two packs of cigarettes every day for 60 years and never got cancer, that doesn't mean anything. Besides, what about the environment? The animals? This is an echo chamber man, the comments here are ridiculous, this Ken Berry guy just lies to your face and never links the studies he keeps mentioning, just red flags everywhere. Basically he says every kind of animal product is great for u in every way, he is clearly a shill, or just delusional.
I love bacon ,hot dogs ,sausage ,smoked ham etc but it is the sodium nitrates in them ,that can set you up for colon cancer, I buy uncured bacon to avoid the sodium nitrates!
I worked in a greasy restaurant and an old guy used to stand and dribble watching me cook the bacon. It was gross at the time but now I know why he dribbled.
I tend to eat between 1/2-1 pound of bacon 4-5 times a week on the Keto diet. Prior to keto I had full blown metabolic syndrome. That has completely reversed and not only are all my labs ideal but I’ve dropped 50 lbs and I feel great. I sleep like a baby every night, have no chronic aches & pains, and I have consistent energy throughout the day. No more after lunch energy plummets.

I was raised on bacon my grandmother recycled bacon grease all the time she used it to scramble eggs to bake cake and we had a smokehouse where we hung the bacon and just went out there and grab a piece to cook anything my mama is not going to complain about bacon she eats it all the time whole foods carries a great sugar-free bacon I love it I eat it all the time the other day I had a craving for a bacon sandwich. I shared it with my granddog Achilles, he is a bacon too.
I'd like to thank you for posting the videos that really helped helped me to drop 35lbs (Carnivore) so far since June 2021. I have another 45lbs to go. My doctor is amazed with my progress. Thank you!
I'm Still mad over the diets that were pushed on us in the late 70's and especially the 80's with low-fat and higher carbs. Low-fat anything tasted awful. On higher carbs, you diet your brains out and go to the gym until your tongue was hanging out and you never could keep any weight off, IF you lost any. Plus, you'd be hungry in 4 hours! Keto is a wonderful, healthy diet that I love!
@@RONBN56A Absolutely. It's hard to imagine your own government doing something so cunning and evil, to make their own countrymen sick so they could push their damn pills on you and rob you along with it. It's all crystal-clear now that greed, power and money is all that matters to them. I don't trust ANY one anymore except my closest family members. We have to look out for our OWN selves!
But why be mad? I remember all of that well myself but I also remember that nobody put a gun to my head and said I had to go low fat and hi carbs but then I was the one that wasn’t ever fat , ate red meat twice a day, 7 days a week, salted as much as I wanted, plenty of taters with a full stick of homemade butter, and pie and ice cream for deserts and later for a snack! It’s no wonder I couldn’t ever get above 135 pounds!!
@@1982MCI Nobody put a gun to my head and I wasn't fat either. It's just very discouraging that the government has never had the American people's best interest at heart. I was pretty naive back then.
That's because your cells cannot burn fat while they are burning carbs. Workout till no energy and then when your body is ready to switch to fats you leave the gym and have your post workout meal....full of carbs.
My grandmother cooked everything in butter or bacon lard. She was never sick a day and only died relatively young (84) when she broke her hip and she lost the desire to live because she lost her independence. The more YT I watch on topics of health, the more I am convinced that everything we were told by the government was unhealthy or bad for us is actually good. I remember how dandelions were vilified as evil. We spent our childhood destroying them. 😪😪 Dr, thank you for your channel. ❤❤❤❤
Hmm, her bones shouldn't have been brittle if she ate that way.....I'm guessing that she probably ate sweets and carbs too then. All Mom's loved to bake. I do too, I just don't eat it, I have to give it all away.
This is insane how backwards the information we have been given by the mainstream medical "experts". This is mind numbing. Thanks for all you do. I have had fibromyalgia for over 25 years and eating ketovore has removed all my widespread pain. Feeling better at 68!
got sick, probably stress, and every time I ate I felt bloated in the worst way and nauseous. fasted for almost 2 days and had some bacon, was the first time I didn't have issues after eating for 2 weeks. started eating it every morning, found your videos and now I feel great barely eating twice a day, eggs bacon butter steak burger and I still love cucumbers and occasional sweet bread.
Don't blame others for your lack of what should be common sense. I don't know anyone that believes sugar is good for you. And your honey nut o's are full of it I am sure.
Thank you Dr. Berry! My son has lost nearly 50 pounds on the Keto diet… gotten off Metformin and we are thinking he doesn’t need his blood pressure med! All this because I have been following your videos! ❤️
Same thing with using lard. When I learned to start rendering my own lard for Mexican cooking, I learned the true history behind it, it was panned as “unhealthy” after WWII and all of a sudden all the food companies who made rations, etc needed to find a way to keep their factories working after soldiers returned. Consequently , “Crisco” was born, and corn based oil as recommended by their in-house “scientists”. All the marketers demonized lard while ignoring its health benefits for decades
@ JazzPaladin. Gosh, just brought back uncomfortable memories from the ‘70’s on where we were making snide comments about how backward the prior generations were for using lard and eating bacon and how bright we were cause we knew better. Sad. We really bought into the lies hook,line, and sinker didn’t we?
Thank you for this video. When I went to college, my biology professor was vegan (imagine that) - he reminded us CONSTANTLY. He repeatedly told us about the nightmares of nitrates, nitrosamines and other toxins laden in bacon. I'm glad to be away from the center of misinformation.
It’s a shame you weren’t armed with the information we know now about a vegan lifestyle…lack of adequate bio-available forms of B vitamins, lack of complete amino acids etc The over-processed nature of factory produced vegan foods.
So you're stating that sodium nitrate liquid smoke is fine to consume? Organic uses celery As a natural preservative.. Commercialized meat is different
I eat baccon and eggs EVERY DAY!!! Lost 52lbs since January 22 2024...not done yet, but this way of eating meat is what has helped me to drop the weight. Thanks to channels like this one, I am so greatful.❤

@@897aa33 I am well aware of how poorly the animals are treated on the mass production feed lot farms. I do not agree with this treatment and buy as much as I can grass fed or pasture raised. Pork is one animal that is hard to find pasture raised, but I do purchase pasture raised pork products whenever it is available.
@@andreal840 in comparison lamb or beef have even more oleic acid and other nutrients. Why bacon. I eat bacon but I am so pissed off every place I go only bacon or chicken like there is nothing else in the world exists.
Dr. Berry, I simply love your videos! I'm 79 years old and just started the carnivore diet 4 weeks ago. In 4 weeks I have lost 24 lbs, and quite frankly feel better than I have for years! I have Bacon almost every day and pasture raised eggs and have gotten back to resistance training on my cable weight bench after years of it collecting dust. I walk my dog for 1 1/2 to 2 hours every day and it's absolutely wonderful. Thank you and all the other informative paleo and carnivore folks out there for spreading this vital information. Big food and big pharma supported by our corrupt FDA and CDC have been poisoning Americans for too long.
I don’t measure my bacon consumption by the slice… It’s by the package. Depending the packaging it’s either 12 ounces or a pound. And that along with 4 to 6 eggs is a full meal that can last all day.
Thank you so much for this video. I wish I had cooked bacon for my kids breakfasts when they were growing up, but I honestly thought I was doing the right thing by giving them a bowl of weetabix with semi skimmed milk at the time. The so called public health campaigns against bacon sure did work, and I am glad that the tide is changing, backed by better up to date scientific knowledge.
My husband was from Derbyshire. He loved bacon more than life itself. Weetabix was waaaay behind bacon but he loved that too. He died almost 4 years ago on the eve of our 25th anniversary. I can't imagine being that happy again. I'll always grieve for him.
Fun fact: among the different Mediterranean cuisines, Sardinia stands out for eating mainly pork, as opposed to the lots of fish commonly consumed across the Mediterranean Sea. And guess what: it also stands out regarding the longevity of its inhabitants. It's probably purely coincidental..
@@bobbycigarillo what about their appendages..are they longer or shorter..that might make me solidify my decision to eat, or not to eat, that is the question! 😋
I feel you missed the point for those who are carnivore or keto we worry about the fact that bacon is Not simply cured in salt, it’s cured in sugar and salt. When you eat bacon you can taste the sweetness from the sugar which would suggest that the sugar has absorbed into the meat itself. The question is how much sugar/ carbs does bacon actually contain. That is my question.
Bacon and eggs fried in bacon grease EVERY DAY! Lost 58lbs, reversed type 2 diabetes and cured fatty liver. All my labs are perfect and I’m 53 years old! Thank you Dr. Berry!
You don’t eat any veggies?
My story is VERY similar! Started at age 62, lost 82 lbs, came off ALL meds, reversed T2D, came off CPAP for sleep apnea! Intermittent Fasting was part of it (OMAD) for a year or more.
I did the same thing and all my blood work went into the green zone. My Dr was shocked to find out what I was eating in the Carnivore diet. Lost 28 pounds and still going strong. Thanks to Dr Ken Berry!

My dad ate bacon and eggs, especially eggs, every single day, sometimes he'd eat a half dozen eggs in a morning, he'd eat one, then say "Just one more" and eat another. He was one of the strongest men I've ever known. When he was 85 he was having anxiety because my mother had died and they were together for nearly 70 years. I took him to the doctor and the doctor checked him out then stepped back and looked at him and said, move over and give me the bed, you're healthier than I am. He had the blood pressure and heart rate of my 18 year old grandson who was an elite athlete. My father rarely ate vegetables, I don't recall ever seeing him eat fruit. He loved meat and that's mostly what he ate and it was always cooked always with bacon fat or butter. Slathered butter on everything, sometimes just eating a knifeful of butter because he loved the taste. He lived to 89 years old and there was nothing wrong with him, his health was great, but he missed my mother so much that he just stopped wanting to live.

My grandpa was a farmer. Every morning without fail he ate 2 poached eggs smashed with about a 1/4 stick of butter and heavy cream. Lunch and dinner were usually beef or pork, with a vegetable. He didn't like potatoes because they left him hungry too quickly. He lived to be 99, and I don't remember him ever being sick.
Sounds like my mom
Same thing, lived to 99
Only thing is she didn't like eggs much but she loved bacon.

Lol me too I eat so much it's all I end up eating all day long. 3lb of 🥓 a half pound for me lol
As a 64-year-old man, I am so pissed off that I deprived myself of bacon and eggs for decades because we were told to eat corn flakes and rice crispies…with a big glass of sugar, um, I mean orange juice. Trying to make up for lost time. Oh ya, two months on keto-down 12 pounds.
Breakfast cereals are just like eating cookies. Refined starches and sugars. High carb, and why you feel hungry in an hour or so.
Awesome news! I am starting to seriously watch my carb intake, myself, so your results are encouraging for me, too! That bacon and egg lie is just one of many lies that some members of my family fell prey to many years ago, and they are feeling the betrayal, too. I am completely in favor of free enterprise, but is truly criminal the way some businesses use marketing tactics to repress and even issue false information to support their greed at the expense and quality of life of their patrons. Makes me wonder what revelations will be next. Congrats on the weight loss and hope you continue with good results! Enjoy your bacon and eggs! 😋
@@gusgrizzel8397 So true. And I know because I’ve eaten cookies for breakfast before 😁
@@gusgrizzel8397 Exactly.👍
That was me… now bacon and sunny side up eggs cooked in bacon 🥓 fat.
I used to eat 5 slices of bacon for breakfast with eggs and butter and it always made me feel great and help me lose a little weight. I stopped because people told me that it was increasing my chances of heart disease/cancer. I'm so glad I watched this video, can't wait to go back to it.
The heart disease statement always makes me laugh. They say this while consuming there vegetable,canola, corn or seed oil that causes inflammation which is what causes heart disease.
I have had Bacon and eggs every morning for going on 6 years, ever since I have been on the keto diet. In the first 18 months I lost 125 lbs. Thanks.
Preach it brother. My favourite cereal is BAE. We have been lied to for 50 plus years. Tricked into believing that this garbage in a package is fit for human consumption. If it has sugar, avoid it like the plague. If it is a carbohydrate, keep it to a minimum or avoid it all together.
Now imagine if you used fruits, vegetables, and fresh juices! You would be running two miles a day and be thankful for life but hey that's just my experience.
@@Chase-vq6eq You do you.
Fruit has sugar and it has a negative effect on your blood glucose. (Berries in moderation) Same thing with root vegetables and some above ground vegetables such as corn. Don’t take my word for it, get yourself a glucose meter and start testing your own blood sugars after eating that stuff. Check out Dr. Richard Bernstein. Basically, what a type 1 diabetic should eat is how we should all eat. That means zero sugars.
I don’t eat anything of that garbage anymore.
What you fail to realize about fruits is that hundreds of years ago humans only had access to fruit several times a year. Now you have it at your fingertips all day everyday day.
@@Chase-vq6eq two rebuilt knees (after loosing 125 lb.) my running days are behind me. Diabetes and fruit juice don't mix. Keto and low carbs keeps me off insulin ($2000 to $3000 a month savings). I do walk now but I can not erase the years of bad choices. I thank God for the time I have left before talking with Jesus.
I've been eating sausage and eggs-- cause the bacon around here is just no good.. I love good bacon- baked it in the oven-- loved it- but last few months it's all just almost sickening.. don't know if it's the store- or what..
A couple days ago, I ate a whole package of bacon. My wife was concerned the keto diet was bad for my health with all the salt and fat. But mostly she was upset because I didn't save her any bacon.
LOL!
I do this often. Thin sliced in the oven at 365 degrees on a baking sheet till you see bubbles. With the thicker sliced bacon add water to the botom of the baking sheet so the thicker fat proprly renders before the meat dries out.
@@grndzro777 oooh good tip for thicker slice bacon. Thanks!

My mom lived 96 years and was very healthy up until 2 months before she died. We ate bacon and eggs 3-5 days per week. She kept a container of salt next to the stove, We raised gardens and she canned many types of fruit and vegies. We hunted and fished and we ate what we killed. I miss those days....
Me too.

Nah, I quit trying to convince people. All I get is ridicule when I try to explain that meat and fats are good for you. The stuff that most people believe just makes me angry. I was at the farmers market the other day and some dude asked me why I was buying so much veal pate. I said because it was made of 90% veal liver and that liver is possibly the most nutrient dense food out there. He laughed and said when you heat up liver you lose all possible nutrients and that chikpeas was the real superfood. I got so mad I almost asked him to lift his shirt up to show us the flat stomach he got from eating chickpeas. Oh wait, he couldn't because he had a belly so big that his shirt buttons were screaming from pain.
OMG, LOL... I never laughed so hard at such an honest statement!! The way you described the scene i could see it so well in my mind. That guy had to be a serious clown!!
Lmao yeah I have the same problem. My mom is convinced that animal fat is bad for you and she eats turkey bacon and whatnot. Like, she literally got mad at me for feeding my brothers the fat from a steak that I made (they wanted to try it and they liked it) and said that if I don't listen to her, I'll get heart disease or something. One of my friends thinks that veggies are essential. I am still fat from diet ngl but only because I had to eat out so much bc I kept running out of carnivore foods. I just need to get the inexpensive ones and keep it going. I'll lose weight then and eat more steaks when I can afford it, not when I think I can lol. Anyways, ya'lls stories are inspiring. Most of my other friends are supportive so that's nice. I have a lot of ground ruminant animal meats in my fridge. Unfortunately I don't have enough to last me until next time I shop so I'll have to eat out for a minute. It'll be worth it once I get my carnivore foods: eggs, bacon, sausage, maybe salami and pepperoni, cheese, yogurt, beef, chicken thighs (bone in and w/ skin ofc) and maybe some berries. Thing is both of those people speaking bad on my beliefs lost weight eating what they eat. I haven't lost any yet, once again bc I kept running out of food before I could lose anything. The longest I lasted was 2 two weeks. I eat a lot more than I think I do. I forget that when I shop. It's a struggle but hopefully they'll see my progress and will get off my case and maybe even believe me and try it themselves. Doubtful, but worth hoping. Good day
@@darlenebattle3005 Buy ground pork, ground beef, eggs, bacon, cheese and pork rinds for a snack. Just have a steak once a week. Brown .5 lb of pork or beef and add 6 to 8 scrambled eggs. Top it off with shredded cheese and some sour cream. It taste good and you will be full for several hours.
Agreed. It might be cynical but I have just given up trying to convince people that animal flesh is good for them. It's just so ingrained into our ideas of health.

I've read all the comments--very interesting! I love bacon, but hardly ever eat it, (due to common beliefs), except in burgers, or when having breakfast with friends. Didn't know it had such great nutritional value. Still weary about the fat, but I won't feel guilty anymore.
Growing up in the 50’s and 60’s, we ate bacon frequently and my mom kept a coffee can on the stove full of bacon grease to use for cooking. Oh, and we were beanpole skinny.
Yeah the can for drippings. I use one now too. The empty wild caught salmon cans are the best for that. lol. I’m going to try to make bacon mayonnaise with the next full one. 😀
We were beanpole skinny too: eat bacon almost daily
As a young wife/mother in the late 60's, early 70's, I did too because all of the women in my family did and they were fabulous cooks.. It was a special little container, with the word 'grease' written on it to pour your hot bacon grease in. I put it in all of my fresh vegetables and cornbread. It made it so yummy! I knew that if my grandmother did something, it was healthy and good!
We was all super skinny too, ate a lot of wild game and bacon. We also had jobs, not chores outside. Not sitting down being lazy.
That's because pure animal fat is good for the body. Eating cereal makes you fat, sickly and unhealthy.
My grandmother lived to be 104 and was never sick in her life. She put bacon grease in everything she cooked and ate a lot of bacon everyday. She was a size 12 for 80 years. It's healthy.

My grandparents lived to 98. They had a farm and ate all the fat on meats, raw milk, eggs, cheese, olive oil only, glass of wine a day etc and almost everything they grew themselves and a glass of fire water (aguardente) in the morning because of the extreme cold in winter and they did not have the health issues associated with a modern diet as per the experts. Makes you think!!!. keep it natural as much as possible.
I'm sure there's some genetic predisposition to mental illnesses such as Alzheimer's and other dementias, but I often wonder if a lower carb diet and more good fats would help protect the brain from some dementias.

I remember many years ago Johnny Carson interviewing a lady that was over 100. He asked her what she ate for breakfast, and she told him bacon and eggs. She said "you can't live on that other crap."
That’s pure genius!
She was right. There’s almost nothing in a bowl of sugar-coated processed grains that the human body needs, or can even do anything with, aside from immediately store it as excess fat.
I agree, I replaced my usual breakfast of cereal (for the past 30 years) with bacon and two eggs everyday, my mental cognition is through the roof!
@@JohnnyAmerique That's a ridiculous comment. They're not immediately stored as fat. That depends on a person's weight, BMI and metabolism. Grains can play a huge role in human biology and can be very beneficial depending on how much and how they're enjoyed, also with less acidic purines from higher meat oriented consumption that leads to gout and inflammation.

Let's hear it for the BACON!!
Bacon is delicious and totally safe to eat!
Bacon & eggs were a staple at our house growing up! We had a can on top of the stove that had a strainer in the top portion, it was made specifically to filter out all the junk in bacon grease. That can was always at least half full and my mom used bacon grease to cook pretty much everything. Who needs buttered popcorn when you pop it in bacon grease? It's so tasty! That is how I learned to cook. Anyway my mother lived until she was 94 and still had all her faculties, sharp as a tack and still working part time right up until a month before she passed. Still had all her own teeth and up until that final month had not been a patient in the hospital since 60 years prior when I was born. I used to listen to all the advice about food until they started trying to tell us that eggs were bad for you. Well I knew from personal experience that was a load of crap so I quit taking them seriously.
Bacon, it's what's for dinner! Bacon is good for you! It is Dr. Berry and his videos that said I should eat bacon to get through my withdrawal from being a carb/sugar burner to become a fat burner. And I ate a ton of it! As Doc Berry always says, "eat fat to lose fat." Lost 65 lbs because of Dr. Berry and Dr. Fung. Awesome UA-cam channel!
My Dad is almost 101years old. He has been eating bacon daily since he could eat solid food! He was a country boy. They raised there own hogs, and hung the sides in their own smoke house!Eer day my Grandad would go out and cut a days supply of bacon. When my Dad wad 8 or so he learned how to build the fire so the smoke would be just right. One day he would milk a Jersey cow and his twin brother would build the fire in the smoke house, the next day he would build the fire and his brother would milk the cow. Then they would gather the eggs from the chickens.
That's not how bacon is made today in processing plants. Nitrates, sugar, salt, chemicals to preserve color and shelf life. Vicki
Same with my dad. 91. Bacon and eggs 7 Day a week he eats it at noon. Then light dinner of meat as well. Strong as an ox.
@@richardeidemiller6739 Exactly. Plain natural bacon is obviously much healthier than what’s in the store.
@@richardeidemiller6739you can purchase bacon that doesn't have those ingredients, you just have read every label! Good luck!
I'm 81 years old and on the second day of March 2023 I started following you doctor and have started my carnivore diet. Really appreciate your videos as well as this one. Hope I can keep this up. Lost about 12 lb already.
I can’t say I’ve seen many 81 year olds on UA-cam. You are spry for sure.
Are you keeping it up sir?
72 here and I love streaky bacon,cooked to a crisp.. better than chips and more filling.
Hey there, Mr Smith. Thanks for yours. And thanks of course, Doctor Berry! I'm also 81, quite fit and on June 1 began (rigidly) following the good doctor. Today's Day 47 and I'm 41 Lbs lighter than when I began. Have a trainer and also continue targeting to walk 10+ Kilometers (+/- 6.2 miles) every day. Never hungry. Never bored.
@@brianrallen you’re a beast sir!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Very rarely will you find a doctor that goes against the pharmaceutical and insurance companies..
So bacon will act as a prescription for fighting muscle cramps. Bacon is medicinal!
The salt puts a strain on the kidneys if you eat to much bacon also some bacon can have very high salt content. I love it but wouldn't e a t too much.
Great advice and video! My Grandmother ate bacon and eggs every morning and cooked with lard. She was physically strong and had a sharp mind all the way up to her passing at age 93. Looking back I realized that she ate a mostly carnivore diet with some non-starchy veges and no sugar. I'm glad to follow in her footsteps! Thanks Dr. Ken!!!
The lard sold in supermarkets is full of trans fats and has been adulterated and destroyed, as has much of our food supply. Seems they do not want us to collect social security.
Lard yes you ol school love it! My grandma did to
yup. The USDA/WHO "nutritional" guidelines are making people sick and are anti meat. I am doing a ketogenic low carb carnivore diet. A few leafy greens as garnishments.
Sorry bacon took her away at 93
rip 🙏
My Nana would keep lamb & hogget drippings in a tin canister on the window sill. Everything was cooked in it. My great grandfather's would spread it on bread instead of butter. We'd collect it from out of the griller (broiler) after grilling fatty lamb chops and strain it back into the can.
Our ancestors ate so well.
I'm asking everyone to please keep up the myth about how bad bacon is for you. It's expensive enough without everyone jumping on the bacon bandwagon.
Hahaha! Good point! - Oh yeah! Bacon is just the worst! (Wink wink)
Maybe it's lol ke that because it is a healthy choice, we would be healthier if we all had it even once a week

Nice work! I share your disgust with people who have profited off harmful myths and lies. I bought into the low fat nonsense as a teen and developed anorexia. Royally screwed up my health, thyroid, metabolism, muscle mass all shot to pieces. I had such a fat phobia that I avoided butter, eggs, and bacon altogether throughout my 20s. I could really kick myself now for believing so many lies, but at least I've finally got on the right track now. Slowly healing my metabolism on the very things I used to be terrified of eating, and feeling so much better mentally as well.

He uses notes.
So many 'yo mama' jokes, lol. I had a steak (fried in the bacon grease) and five pieces of bacon and two eggs yesterday for dinner and it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. Hubby ruined his bacon and eggs with the big chunk of bakery bread he ate it on. Plus bonus, two hours later, my blood sugar was the lowest it had been all day (even fasting). That's good enough for me
YUMMY!!!
"That's a bunch of crap"
I like where this is going.....
LOL!
Well this blows my mind. I also had believed the establishment cancer bacon nitrates story. This is eye opening. Unfortunately just yesterday I ordered 3 kg or 7 Ib of nitrates free bacon. I hope they haven’t substituted sugar in the process.
I know a low carb diet works. I did Atkins several years ago and lost 25 pounds. My labs were all lower and I felt great. I eventually slowly drifted away from it because of all the misinformation out there that confuses you. Just started KETO..same principle..low carb. This time I'm sticking with it. Your videos are fantastic for keeping us informed with the truth. Thank you so much for doing this. You are saving people's lives and adding years to their lives. Keep the video's coming DOC!!!
why would anyone eat just 3 slices of bacon? 5 minimum for me.
I eat a lb as a whole meal! I'm 5'3 and weigh 120 lbs.
During the war a rasher of bacon was 2 thin slices a week per person. They complain about the sugar ration on TV shows now when talking about it. The sugar ration was 8 oz per person each week. Way more sugar than anyone would need. I use 1/4 cup once a month with yeast to fed the septic system. Also pull it out for company for their coffee.
I would be trading sugar rations for bacon.
The 3 slices is your reward for frying the first half pound. The second half pound is 5 slices; gotta love compound interest.
I normally eat the whole pack myself
There’s a minimum?
I eat six slices of bacon per day with one of my two keto meals and alongside fasting, I have managed to lose 103 pounds and keep it off. I think that it is more likely that I would succumb to serious illness, if I maintained my previous unhealthy weight of 313 pounds!
Hi.. congratulations on a great achievement!! what do you typically eat for your two meals a day?

Hope this helps - ''It Takes fat to Lose Fat''
@@RobCLynch Congrats man!! Getting that weight down big time, happy to hear you're doing so well. Is there a recipe online for the keto flatbread you make and does it taste decent?
They have been saying to cut fat and eat more carbs for 20+ years and really everyone has gotten more fatter. We have to step away from that bad recommendation. People have been eating meats with fat for thousands of years and only recently did we have a problem with heart disease. Much of that is probably due to vegetable oils and deep frying.
I’ve been listening to this Dr for quite sometime only to find my doctor agrees with him. What a bombshell, he asked what are you eating, told him and he simply said; “It works and you’re very muscular for a 58 year old guy, keep it up!!
You just keep reinforcing that you are my favorite doctor! 😍
I eat 5 slices of bacon most days of the week. There are 8 packages of bacon in my frig right now.

Highly processed salty garbage.
"It's an echo of the lie" That's spot on doc.
I have raynauds syndrome, since I was 13. I don't want to survive off of chemical vaso-dilators (blood pressure meds) when winter temps drop too low, but still want to be able to function... one of the things that came up in my many researches over many years about natural ways to manage it was nitric oxide... And then i started seeing things about celery salts, nitrites and nitrates in processed foods having adverse - even cancerous - effects! Well, thank you a million times over, dad, i got blessed with your logical mind! Right away when I was reading these articles, i was like, "but nitrites and nitrates are necessary precursors for nitric oxide, or did i miss something in chemistry class? 🤔
My wife's grandmother lived a long life, she cooked bacon daily and saved the grease to use in her other foods, even cooked green beans in it.
Oh man ima go buy some green beans this afternoon.....and a can of those dried onions to put on top...green bean casserole here I come :)
Bacon grease and green beans are the best. I cooked up some bacon and dumped the green beans into the pan and my wife thought I was crazy, until she ate the beans. She loved it.

@@PageandPlant4Life I love garlic with brussel sprouts, chopped bacon and red chilli it's amazing
u know cholesterol response varies from person to person, and that men suffer much more than women in general? So just cause your grandma lived that way doesn't mean it will work for you. My grandma smoked two packs of cigarettes every day for 60 years and never got cancer, that doesn't mean anything. Besides, what about the environment? The animals? This is an echo chamber man, the comments here are ridiculous, this Ken Berry guy just lies to your face and never links the studies he keeps mentioning, just red flags everywhere.

I'm Still mad over the diets that were pushed on us in the late 70's and especially the 80's with low-fat and higher carbs. Low-fat anything tasted awful. On higher carbs, you diet your brains out and go to the gym until your tongue was hanging out and you never could keep any weight off, IF you lost any. Plus, you'd be hungry in 4 hours! Keto is a wonderful, healthy diet that I love!

@@1982MCI Nobody put a gun to my head and I wasn't fat either. It's just very discouraging that the government has never had the American people's best interest at heart. I was pretty naive back then.
That's because your cells cannot burn fat while they are burning carbs. Workout till no energy and then when your body is ready to switch to fats you leave the gym and have your post workout meal....full of carbs.
My grandmother cooked everything in butter or bacon lard. She was never sick a day and only died relatively young (84) when she broke her hip and she lost the desire to live because she lost her independence.

Same thing with using lard. When I learned to start rendering my own lard for Mexican cooking, I learned the true history behind it, it was panned as “unhealthy” after WWII and all of a sudden all the food companies who made rations, etc needed to find a way to keep their factories working after soldiers returned. Consequently , “Crisco” was born, and corn based oil as recommended by their in-house “scientists”. All the marketers demonized lard while ignoring its health benefits for decades
Happy to say I found a source of lard...

I don’t measure my bacon consumption by the slice… It’s by the package. Depending the packaging it’s either 12 ounces or a pound. And that along with 4 to 6 eggs is a full meal that can last all day.
Thank you so much for this video. I wish I had cooked bacon for my kids breakfasts when they were growing up, but I honestly thought I was doing the right thing by giving them a bowl of weetabix with semi skimmed milk at the time. The so called public health campaigns against bacon sure did work, and I am glad that the tide is changing, backed by better up to date scientific knowledge.
My husband was from Derbyshire. He loved bacon more than life itself. Weetabix was waaaay behind bacon but he loved that too. He died almost 4 years ago on the eve of our 25th anniversary. I can't imagine being that happy again. I'll always grieve for him.
Fun fact: among the different Mediterranean cuisines, Sardinia stands out for eating mainly pork, as opposed to the lots of fish commonly consumed across the Mediterranean Sea. And guess what: it also stands out regarding the longevity of its inhabitants. It's probably purely coincidental..
Could be other factors. Maybe a diet of pork & fish is better than just pork or just fish 😁
Is their life expectancy longer or shorter?
Yeah, probably.
Wouldn't shorter life be "shortgevity".
@@bobbycigarillo what about their appendages..are they longer or shorter..that might make me solidify my decision to eat, or not to eat, that is the question! 😋
Sardinia is the longest lived people in the Mediterranean. Many are 100+ years. Blue zones are the healthiest.
I feel you missed the point for those who are carnivore or keto we worry about the fact that bacon is Not simply cured in salt, it’s cured in sugar and salt. When you eat bacon you can taste the sweetness from the sugar which would suggest that the sugar has absorbed into the meat itself. The question is how much sugar/ carbs does bacon actually contain. That is my question.
