Thank you Dr. Berry for everything you do! My income is SS and $23 in food stamps. I live in southern AZ and here we have a Food City which is considered a Mexican grocery store. They have the 73% ground beef which come in these 7-8 lb pkgs for $2.99 lb all the time. They always have chicken thighs and legs for around $1.29 lb. My local Safeway had london broil for $1.97 lb. I bought 20 lbs and pressure cook it and it is just so delicious & tender. I buy the cheap white eggs from Walmart. 75% of my meals are ground beef and eggs. Once a week I eat liver. I also eat sardines, canned salmon, and chicken. I buy bacon when on sale and save that precious bacon grease to cook my eggs in. I buy what's on sale and everything taste so good and I am never hungry. God bless you and your family.
There is progress happening. My diabetic husband was in the hospital for 5 days and requested a carnivore menu. The dietician happily accommodated and let him order eggs and bacon or as many hamburger patties as he wanted. They called up before each meal and asked what he would like.
Yes, far from what I've seen. My Husband too was hospitalized for knee surgery and is Diabetic. The menu restrictions were too limiting if he is only given foods approved for his condition. With questionable and unrecognizable meats! I was appalled. He us not on Carnivore yet, but I wish for us to try to help his increasing weight, cravings for sweets or alcohol... 😢
You call that progress? In England doctors want patients to get better and heal faster to shorten the hospital stay. They offer meat and dairy free menus. NOW THAT IS PROGRESS! Here in Canada they push meat and dairy. If you are not sick when you go into the hospital, you definitely will be when you come out. If it's an injury you don't heal. And that's what keeps the drug pusher industry going here.
This is what I eat as a female single senior citizen living below the poverty line in subsidized housing in Toronto Ontario Canada: Brunch: eggs and an avocado; Dinner: lettuce and seafood. I drink tap water. I buy: sardines, canned tuna, oysters and mussels at Dollarama. I buy the most expensive and best quality eggs available at the health food store, Carrot Common. I buy bags of avocados and lettuce in Chinatown. I'm almost 75 years old. I walk everywhere. I carry my own shopping in my own shopping bag. I don't pull any shopping buggy behind myself. I'm hoping to live until I'm at least 101 years old. Good luck to you all. Eat well and eat smart. 😊
When I was a kid, I was told to work hard all your life and it’ll pay off and it did every day of my life until my body started cashing checks and draining my bank account. I don’t want to live to 100 unless they come up with some amazing new medicine, in the meantime, I’ll just keep asking the good Lord to help❤️🔥🙏🏼
@@jeanettenejadi1777NOTHING in this world will be either perfect or eternal. Evil? yes. Misleading? yes. Confusing? yes. Not perfect, nor eternal. Given all the failed attempts and policies by believers in their own ability to make it so, I’d say that’s probably a good thing!
I'm a nurse in the 37th year of my career & I have never been more disillusioned with the medical profession as I have been over the past 4-5 yrs. I hate being part & parcel to the lies being told about ALL aspects of care & being powerless to do anything about it. I want out SO badly but am not close enough to retirement age to do so & I can't afford to quit & work at Walmart or whatever. The day I can get out will be a HUGE celebration day for me!
Retired LPN / LVN hospital nurse here. Was a patient in the hospital after they went all RN. Personal care was terrible. I was once again a patient this year was put on a liquid diet. All they sent besides the tea was carbs carbs and carbs. So I did a water fast for the 3 days I was there. The care was wonderful as they brought the LPNs back, which relieved the RNs to do all the orders and paperwork and deal with the complicated cases. Actually this might sound silly but I miss working.
Retired doctor 3 1/2 years. Can't tell you how disgusted I am about the last couple of years. Sadly many of my old partners are still bought in to everything. Good people, just blind to everything.
Dr. Cuccuzella was my Primary Care Physician before he left WVU. He saved my life and many of my friends' lives using his lifestyle changes of Low Carb High Fat diet and exercising running/walking (for me walking). I live an active lifestyle and have maintained my weight loss over the years. Thank you so much for having Dr. Mark on your show. He is a precious asset and invaluable source for the health care community.
77 years old. Been plant based for 45 years plus. I love being healthy. But I hate seeing how unhealthy meat eaters are ! Oh well!!!! When will they open there eyes and look around ? Healthy people eat low protein, high carb diets!
@@herbbowler2461 Glad Plants Work for You Brother or Sister but Respect that As a A Protein No Plant Based Eating Human with Gut Issues I am Feeling the Greatest & Healthiest Ever! So Respect that What Might Not Work for You Works for Others. God Bless You in Your Journey!!
The clamshell package of salad greens is $4 for 4 ounces. That is $16 per pound, folks. Then you have to buy all the stuff to put on the salad. Or…you can get a pound of premium ribeye steak for about $16. Carnivore is cheaper than rabbit food.
@@Realogn doesn’t matter. The magic of a cow’s four chambered stomach will detoxify the grain. Grass fed may taste better but as Dr Berry has said, the difference in nutrients is minimal. Even eating cheaper cuts, you’re still way ahead of the plant eaters.
you can grow your own easy & cheap too, search Mike VanDuzee for youtube videos on how to use a heat gun & rain gutter & pool noodle for growing nearly maintenance free spinach/lettuce
I have type 2 diabetes. Recently I had surgery and stayed overnight. I had to stop my Metformin and Farxiga for the surgery. I told them I was eating carnivore to control my glucose, so don't bring me anything but meat and eggs. And bring me double portions. They did! This was at UAB hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.
I reclaimed my health after fighting, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, and I did survive. I realize that the food that I had been eating as a young woman was literally slowly killing me. So I began with a local nutritionist and they came and helped me have small grow beds where I grew my own berries and my own vegetables and herbs, too. Coupling all those healthy food groups with really good healthy, lean carnivore meat that was locally grown along with locally hatched eggs. I am now alive and cancer free going on 14 years. I attribute all that to my diet. I am now firm, believer and live by this mantra. “ if you cannot pronounce what you are eating why are you eating it” I am now on the process of writing a book how I survive these cancers, and one day I would like to share it with you as well thank both of you doctors that I finally discovered you while I’m healing from a broken foot and I’ve been eating nothing but carnivore with some vegetables and I’m hoping I can lose some weight because I’m non-active so I’m working on my cookbook. Thanks guys for all your help.
I have a friend who is fighting pancreatic cancer as well. I'm trying to help her. She currently has a feeding tube in. Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
He needs to be careful working for the VA. They don't like any of this in Michigan. My VA Doc was lowering my statin and recommended keto, they sent her packing. Raised my meds back up and said I can eat whatever I want. I ignored them and followed her advice. My stroke symptoms are nearly gone after only six months, and I've lost 30 lbs.
Also shocked he is speaking out on low carb....Our VA does nothing but give pills and pretend diabetes is inevitable. Would be shocked if he stays employed.
From the Arctic. Canned salmon is mostly pink salmon. It is not pretty or fancy enough for fillets so it’s not farmed and less sought after by fish mongers but it is the staple salmon the people in the region live off of. We call it dog salmon because it’s so plentiful we feed it to our sled teams as well. Great stuff. We love to smoke it.
Canned mackerel is also a good choice, especially if you eat the bones in it. I am on disability, which is not much, but I buy ground chuck, ground pork, eggs, some natural cheese, bulgarian yogurt (only milk and bacteria), pork butt, pork chops or loin (if on sale), chuck or shoulder roast, butter, ghee (lasts forever), and a can of tallow (also lasts forever). My food cost has actually gone down since I started carnivore. It has really helped my autoimmune issues and all the stuff that comes with it.
You can make your own clarified butter/ghee with a pound of butter by just melting/boiling it gently until the butter solids fall to the bottom and strain it. I think Chef Jean Pierre has a video on how to make it. Then I put it in a jar in the fridge, but it will last a long time on the counter too. It’s the milk solids that will eventually go rancid, so removing them is why it lasts so long.
I looked for canned mackerel last time I was at the store. None on the shelves, nor a space they might have been in. I had noticed the last time I had some, they were much smaller than the mackerels I ate as a young adult. Same for sardines. Took more individuals to fill same size can. Overfishing??!
Retired enlisted military here. 1 retirement pension with 5 children at home. Everyone is either Keto or Carnivore. Have been Carnivore for 6 years and have lost more than 100lbs and a myriad of conditions. Without a doubt it was cheaper to feed my family white rice and pasta....but at what cost? Our staples are ground beef, eggs, butter, cheap steaks. We buy several cows a year and also store meat in the tube...Still the most nutrient dense food in the store.
I tell people I'm allergic to carbohydrates...because I really am! I've never heard a dr.till now say it...I break out, retain water, get sores on my scalp and my blood sugar jumps over 200 if I eat carbs... Eating keto has fixed my type 2 diabetes & my fatty liver has been reversed!! I still hv a long way to go but I'm healing...finally on the right track.
Dr C is my doc and I followed his guidance in Feb 2024 and have lost 25 lbs ; about 10% of my body weight. I was pre-diabetic and did not want to get worse. i just cut out potatoes, rice, bread, cookies, cakes, beer, ice cream. It works and it is affordable. My goals are to lose about 15 lbs to be where I as at on active duty. And off a statin for high cholesterol due to this diet change. Thank you Dr C!!
If you are a specialist, you will hate low carb. It eliminates patients from your practice. Hospitals make money when you get sick..why on earth would they want you well????
@@kaceysamuel2568not real insulin resistance. You have physiologic insulin resistance because you don't eat carbs regularly. Do an experiment. Wear a cgm, eat carbs every day for a week. If you have true insulin resistance the glucose will be terrible all week. If its physiologic it will normalize and improve in a few days. That's my experience. It gets better and that's how you test.
I just spent 10 days in a behavioral health hospital. I have type T2d controlled by diet A1 C 5.4. I would get 60 to 80 grams of carbs per meal in addition to up 6 packets of cookies , chips, cereal bars, ice cream, pudding or crackers ; and 32 ounces of juice. I refused most meals. I asked for bacon and eggs would receive rice crispies, almond milk, toast, apple and applesauce. At dinner would ask for a double portion of meat and would receive pasta, roll, fake butter, light salad dressing and a salad. Or I would order 2 cheeseburger patties with onions, pickles and tomatoes just to receive the diabetic meal of nonfat milk, mashed potatoes, corn with meatloaf . I kept ordering ketogenic meals and they consistently provided me with high carb meals. Nurses would comment on how good my blood sugar was and their blood sugar level was much higher. The hospitalist doctor wanted to discharge me early because of my diet. They sent a dietitian to educate me about what I should be eating so could inject me with insulin. I skipped meals, drank coffee and food from home.
That was inhumane incarnation! These hospital's diets are controlled by the government My Plate Guidelines. I hope you are better. See Dr Berry's vids on Proper Human Diet and Ben Bickman's vids on insulin resistance.
Sounds like my sister's rehab. We're loosely on keto ( lots of non keto foods unfortunately) and she had knee replacement surgery. She would ask for something from yesterday if they still had and someone else always got to it first. At the time I didn't know I could bring in food for her or I would have done so. It was disgusting. I'm going to hate being put in a nursing home. I have too many allergies alone to have a typical American diet.
I’m on a disability pension and save so much money on Carnivore PHD, all I buy is Meat salt Butter & eggs. I like cheaper cuts I can slow cook and intermittently have a treat rib eye. I no longer spend money on junk food, and I’ve stopped several medications, don’t need Supplements. Saving at least 30% on my previous shopping bills per week. I have also, an elderly cat & Dog that are so much better on Carnivore real meat too. Saving on vet bills as well 💪👍🇦🇺🥩
@@Deeelite-17 we have 3 older basset hounds and they are now on 50% carnivore as they transition. They now have more energy and strength, and the rather badly behaved "big" boy has pulled my OH over and out run him several times 😂 we were not expecting that!
New Boston, Texas! Started keto in October and lost 40 lbs and came off all 3 bp meds! Went carnivore 10 days ago and have lost an additional 11 lbs and I feel amazing!!
My MD told me to keep my carbs under 50g a day. I now consider myself ketovore, leaning towards carnivore. I use a few low carb vegetables but am focused on beef. No snacking, eat in the 8 hr window, fast 16 hrs. Down 12 lbs in 31 days. The biggest change in this way of eating for ME is that cooking was a relaxing creative outlet for me, now it is purely functional. I still cook a bit for my husband but very basic and nothing fancy. He is ok with that. He is not overweight. He supports my effort. I need to lose 20 more pounds. But now I want to just do this for life. My fatty liver dx is my motivation. My age is 73 and have a few good years left. I appreciate your videos so much.
Im not military myself but many in my family are. Thank you for your service sir. Im carnivore/ keto, mostly carnivore for over a year. I fight c-ptsd from a long, abusive marriage to a rabid narcissist. I can say among other improvments that head confusion clears more every day. Im in my 70s now and have begun sprinting every other day and loving life.
Congratulations on your success. I was married 29 years to an alcoholic narcissist so I understand. I'm starting back on keto now. It's the only way I can lose weight. I'm looking forward to feeling good again.
@linda7279 your post hit me.. I just began studying c-ptsd and realizing that I am close to this diagnosis than any other given me. I too was in a terrible narcissistic relationship for over 20 years and am still trying to clear the fog. I’ve mistreated my health badly and am now 51, homeless and underemployed. I just finished a 72 hour water fast and am now doing an OMAD/carnivore plan on a very tight budget. I pray to get to that point of having the energy to do sprints again. Thank you for sharing this!
El Paso, Texas. 10 month on Carnavore and 16-20 hr IF. Have lost 102 lbs. was diagnosed with stage 2 Liver Fibrosis. Liver enzyme are coming back to normal now. a1-C was 6.8 at start, now is 4.8.
My hubby, T2D, recentiy spent over 5 weeks in the hospital that was supposed to be 5 days. He had never been on insulin but they had him on it for the full time. Extention of stay started with excessive opioids shutting down his bowels. They put him on IV nutrition. For the 5 days of IV nutrition, where they had total control, his glucose was bouncing between 200 & 300, never below 200. At my husband's expense I got my eyes opened at how unhealthy hospitals are.
Whew, you must have one of those take advantage insurance plans. They used to NEVER have type 2 on insulins, ever. But now…feed them garbage and shoot ‘em with insulins. That is NOT healthy on a body. My goodness. Most folks are oblivious.
I was hospitalized for 5 days over last Thanksgiving. All meals were HEAVY carb. I found 2 things on the menu that had keto items on meal tray. I ate those every day. Eggs in the am and the insides of a chicken sandwich for lunch and dinner. Probably 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup at every meal. I lost weight. Yay!!
I'm on a tight budget, single mom on food stamps, working part time. I can't afford grass fed beef but I get what's on sale. I did find pasture raised eggs at a local store that they often have on sale for only $3/dz! I stock up then. Thank you for sharing tips on what to get on a budget. I'm not completely carnivore but I'm almost there. Already starting to feel better! I need to lose a lot of weight but my main goal is to feel better so I can move more.
I'm a 50 year old woman who's in remission from chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was on a weekly biologic injectible medication "Enbrel," with other prescriptions like Celebrex, Methotrexate, Tramadol & Prednisone at times that made my immune system sick and my body obese & weak starting at the age of 27. I started eating a ketogenic lifestyle in September 2019, and now I'm mainly carnivore "Ketovore." This way of eating is the only thing that has helped my weight loss of 60lbs, severe pain, inflammation & metobolic health. Also, I started implementing lifting heavy weights, strength training & balance exercises 4 times a week last April. It has been a new life for me! You can seek your true health every day, starting with what you eat/drink & don't eat/drink. I appreciate your time & knowledge in this media space. Thank you, Christine Peters
I have rheumatoid. My shots and pills aren't helping me. I'm starting carnivore February 12th to see if I get any relief. I'm hoping and praying. I want to try to do 90 days, then pick one food a week to introduce back into my diet to see if my R.A. reacts. Any advice for me?
Thank you for these details. I have done Keto in the past to mainly benefit my spouse's weight loss and health. Although I had no weight changes it was easy for me to overlook the other benefits I was experiencing given the sugar lover I am. Now I am experiencing incredible pain and inflammation from arthritis. This appears to be the one and only choice to make. Thanks again.
I think its actually cheaper than conventional eating. One meal a day. I never order or go out to eat though. Also eating carnivore will make you feel fantastic.
I want to thank you for your service and you continue your wonderful service to the human race. My beautiful parents were from Clarksburg, West Virginia, and Worthington West Virginia and I just think you’re an angel amongst Angel. My dad was on the front lines in World War II and he got injuredbut still came home and married my mom and had six kids and I’m the youngest. :-) They were married for 69 years before they went to heaven and they were each 94 years old and they raised us on a meat and fat diet. What an awesome doctor you are and I love you Dr. Barry.
Great video! I was in the US army 22 years. My last deployment 2005-2006, 16 months in Iraq. Convoy security and route clearing almost daily. My entire team were physically fit warriors before we deployed. Most of us gained weight and felt worse coming home. I think 2 reasons for it. #1 lots of high stress followed by medium stress and repeat. #2 food. We got 1-2 small servings of protein each meal and unlimited carbs. Hungry? Have some more carbs. In 2005 I felt young and healthy. In 2007 I felt like and tired old man. Diet matters
Thank God there’s a few good men out there helping our vets. The food pyramid has got to change so military personnel, hospital patients, aged homes, etc can have real food.
Great interview! I live in the same area as Dr. Cucuzzella. While I don't know him personally, I've heard great things about him and the work he's done for the health of our community. I'm happy to hear that he's at the VA center now.
I am so thankful to of had Dr. C as my physician in Martinsburg, WV. He introduced me to the low carb way of eating. He improved my health 100% .. thank you so much Dr. C , keep up the great work !
Previous hospital administrator here, thank you guys. The issue is the raw food cost, simple as that. Carbs are much cheaper, are shelf stable, and people ask for them. It’s a tough battle, especially when the dietitians don’t support the change. Thank you again!
yeah like the Toast and jam offered and the Ensure is anything but pure evil ever health sugars and carbs. You people have no idea how or what is healthy and if you dropped the carbs/sugars and veggies and canned crap ENSURE you'd dam well know how to feed patients to support healing. instead it's like facing Dr Death in every Hospital under the Institutional western medicine model of Never cure, never heal and keep em ill with organs damaged by those pharmaceuticals also pushed to the unaware naive. There's no excuse when your paid highly with all the benefits but fail to deliver or ever take the role of healing a serious food matter! I hate all western medicine for being incompetent and stupid at best.
During the pandemic, grocery store workers were more important than the self proclaimed “important people” that have great paying jobs producing nothing.
Dr. Mark is one of the finest and most sincere people I have ever had the pleasure to know. He has done more genuine good for more people here in the Panhandle and beyond than he will ever realize. A true warrior for healthy mind and body.
I’m a KetoVore RD (registered dietitian) in a large level 1 trauma hospital in S FL on a mission to get pts on a proper human diet!!! Thank you for all you do; looking for the pdf’s to help!
Everything that has happened over the last several years has caused me to believe that most doctors are ignorant, lazy, stupid, or evil. It's nice to see that there are still good, caring, thinking doctors around.
Truthfully most Drs. Are in groups and they have to follow the SAD diet and whatever their group has decided They can’t go out of that box…..Its sad they are not living up to their oath.😢
@@iloveseaglass -- True. Those guidelines exist because doctors -- and their leadership and organizations -- are evil. There's a reason doctors no longer take the Hippocratic Oath: they willingly do harm.
I go to the VA for my medical needs, I was telling this nurse I was on a low carb/ keto diet, this over weight nurse said low carb is good, but you can not be on it forever. I said I can, I have never felt this healthy. I mostly have no health issue, and plan on keeping it that way.
My husband and i buy our beef from my uncle. He charges all his customers the same, last year price was $2.59 /lb,plus processing. A quarter lasts us a year and is the best there is.
I thank God there are still some real doctors who care about the people's health. Not drug pushers. I am working towards an ever more carnivore life style. Keto helped me a lot with weight, but I want to get away from oxilates and lectins. Great interview.
Thank you for your service and continued service. I am a retired police officer and i can tell you firsthand that the departments really are not supportive in regards to nutritional information. It is basically your responsibility to fend for yourselves and try your damndest to make it home safely every day.
I buy 10 lb. Ground beef tube from Walmart for about $27. 27% fat(high quality, walmart is biggest beef buyer in the world) I slice that while wrapped into 1/2 " thick burgers. 4 packages of bacon, 4 sticks of butter and 18 eggs is probably $50. This is more food than I can eat in a week. Same basic diet for 9 months now and still loving it. Approaching my ideal weight and all chronic conditions gone and no more medicine. Brisket from there is also great and very affordable. I pay way less than even the good doctors do. I'm not poor. It's jut what I like.
Sam’s for ground beef. Walmart for eggs, sausage. Costco for hot dogs. Will try Restaurant Depot. Will try the bologna. Thanks for this relief! I have been scared to death on how I could afford this. I have real hope. Thank you for this!
It's starting to change. I had a physical for DOT medical card and the Doc said Keto is great. She sees it doing great things for people. I belong to a truck driver Facebook group about cooking in truck. More and more, saying they are keto or carnivore. I have been low carb since 2018 (now keto). Just started hearing people talk about it in my daily life this year.
Our budget didn't change at all when we went carnivore. We enjoy ribeyes and seafood on a regular basis, plus lots of ground beef and chicken thighs and roasts. In fact, we almost always have money left in our budget when the next paycheck comes around. My husband and I are both retired. The reason we get along so well is that we are not buying the chips, cereal, milk, fruit and all the JUNK we had been buying. We couldn't be happier with this way of eating! Thank you Dr. Berry for all you do!!
Crazy how they put sugar back in hospital. Some want poor and even middle class to be obese so they can prescribe more medicine which makes big pharma happy.
It was unbelievable that after Dr C made Jefferson Hospital famous as the little hospital that could (cut sugar), his sugar addicted enemies put an end to that and ran him out.
I am currently 37 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 34 weeks - I was on a clean Carnivore diet before I got pregnant and had lost lots of weight (which I am sure helped me get pregnant in the first place). Early in my pregnancy I just couldn't eat or smell any meat or eggs. I was so disgusted and completely fell off the wagon for a while. Eventually I started eating meat and eggs again but also ate bread and other processed foods, gave in to sugar cravings, had unhealthy snacks and literally just ate anything my brain wanted 😐 In a meeting they had me attempt, where they talked about how to eat with gestational diabetes, they said to NOT cut carbs and have some with every meal. I did that on day 1 and spiked my blood sugar through the roof with just 2 tiny potatoes (they recommend 200-300g cooked potatoes for a meal here in the UK). Being diagnosed with gestational diabetes reminded me that this is not what I should be doing - for me and for my baby - and immediately went back to Keto/Very low Carb and my blood sugar levels have been fine since. Will definitely continue after birth and am happy to be back on track! Going to head over to Neisha's channel as well for some insight on breastfeeding! 😊
I had the GSD too. Twice. You are exactly right. The nutritionists are absolutely wrong on this crap. I followed the recommendations on the first pregnancy and still had complications - baby was 9lb 12oz. With a head circ at 99.92 percentile. No one told me that those were complications. My numbers were nearly perfect. Second pregnancy I followed a much lower carb plan and had a 8lb 9oz baby. No complications.
Same here!! I have 6 children, my 6th baby was born 2 years ago and ever since that pregnancy I have had a BAD aversion too chicken! Never had a problem with it ever before, not in any of my other pregnancies. lol I just cant look at it, smell it or even taste it without instantly going back to feeling that morning sickness nausea! Pregnancy does weird things lol
I'm an RN that attended Diabetic Education this morning. The Nurse educator discouraged Keto diet. All that being said, she encouraged me to apply and become a Diabetic Educator. I'm 20 minutes from Martin'sburg, 30 minutes from Shepherdstown and hope to meet Dr C in the near future.
I'm Guida from South Africa, Dr Berry you changed my life, 3 1/2 years doing ketovore and my blood tests are the best ever Thank you to you and all the Doctors who have the same passion to save lives
Dr Berry I’m loving all of these interviews with people like Dr Cucuzzella, Mary Ruddick, Kent Carnivore, Gary Taubes, etc. I’m learning so much from these different people and how they are solving the standard American (or fill in an country) diet problems in their walks of life with keto and the PHD. Keep up these awesome interviews!
Today is my day 1 on Carnivore (2/4). I’m 62, 203 lbs, and I suffered a compression fracture at L1 in December of 22. I had bariatric surgery in 2001 and had a great 15 years until my surgical tool was overcome by poor dietary choices. I’m not whining, I’m holding myself accountable. At this point, I’m starting over because after the back injury, I was unable to do many of the things I was able to do before and the weight began to get out of control. I didn’t feel safe to garden last spring because I was still recuperating. Now, I feel the need to get busy before I go any further downhill. My success plan includes bingeing every carnivore technique I can get my hands on. Wish me luck!
The fact that all this information and documentation is free and they are willingly sharing it with the world should tell you everything you need to know. Besides talking about better health, they are also talking about you being free to make your own decisions.
I live in the great plains farming country (Nebraska) not far from a 100,000 population city. A butcher shop there is grinding imported Mexican beef and I buy 85% burger for $2.49 every day of the week. they also have pork shoulder (butts) for $1.59, and either beef chuck rolls or clods for $5 per lb. Those 3 things plus eggs, butter and spices make up just about 100% of what I eat, and $5 max per day is easy
Those prices are amazing. Enjoy. Shopping today at Frescho ( maybe a lower priced Safeway). An elderly senior was chatting to me (a younger showing me showing me senior) saying he never thought he would be buying baloney as he showed me two big packages of baloney in his shopping cart, along with a big carton of chicken legs, tiny bit of fruit. He says he does not buy junk foods any more. He also spoke about the price of chicken, to be going up quite a bit soon. this is up in southern Canada close to the US border. I felt for him. I am one that doesn’t watch the news so I really don’t know about the prices except for what I see in the store. seniors & regular people are going to the store to look for the markdowns; 30% off the meat and picking that up if they can. Tonight, I made had pork sausages, mixed with spaghetti squash, onions, garlic, with chopped up cabbage, guess we are on a keto diet. My breakfast today;just eggs and bacon for breakfast with coffee earlier.
Nice on the ground beef! I can't find that for under $4 a pound any more. Pork is pretty decent though. I got pork butt for $1.69lb, pork belly for $3.49lb, so cheaper than bacon, bone on skin on chicken thighs for $1.29lb and pork loin for $1.89lb. This tend to be our staples. Along with ground beef.
@@meatavoreNana here in Vancouver Canada I can't get local lamb unless I drive an hour and a half and pay way more. Instead we have to buy New Zealand lamb. Where's the logic in that?
Wisconsin! ❤😊. Ph.D in Natural Medicine, Massage Therapist & Biofeedback Practitioner. Began our carnivore journey Jan. 1, 2024 Not quite one month in. My husband, daughter and I are doing this together.
Good for you ….. it must be so much easier to do it together……I’ve had a transformation for my CKD and working on NAFLD …but most of all my mental health, from almost a lifetime of pain from Broken Spine, is improved out of sight. I wish you the same, from Sunny Western Australia 😊❤❤
Dr C. Is my doctor thank God. I’m on team Dr. C. I’m a type 1 that became double diabetes. What a ride this has been. 2x in less than 1 year I’ve jumped on and off low carb. I lost 30lbs the first time (fell off the wagon because I was weak mentally), gained back 20lbs, and am now down 20lbs again after 1 month of low carb sitting at approx 270lbs. I’m the exact use case for all of this and just had an appointment with Dr. C. today. I’m an AF vet as well and have been unemployed for about 5 years now suffering from the roller coaster my health has been. I want to be a success for myself, Dr. C., and anyone else that faces this reality and needs to make this change. Thank you for the support of this great doctor and you’ve gotten a new follower too. God Bless!
Also, I had been averaging a total daily dose of 100+ units of nova log prior to this diet. Now I’m managing at 25 - 40 / day. The lowest amount of insulin I’ve ever used since I was diagnosed in 2008.
I'm studying up by watching different points of view, watching many vids. So I'm new to Dr. Berry. W0W!! The proof is there, the guy's transformation is amazing!! Looking good Dr. Berry!!
This message is so important. so many social media personalities out there love to post themselves eating ribeyes everyday. while it’s arguable that even ribeyes might be cheaper than junk food over time, feeding my family ribeyes every day isn’t doable. eggs, ground beef, i buy inexpensive chubbs of beef. it does the trick and is way better than pasta for dinner
Meat is not cheap in uk , but still smy husband and l live on ,£150 a month , that includes diesel laundry stuff , personal stuff ,shampoo , shower gel , we never use it all this month ,50 pounds left , l buy about 4 steak , pack of belly pork , pork shoulder steaks , some minced beef , get fish in Aldi @£1.99 .we get 30 eggs free range ,from farm @£5 , bacon ,streaky and back bacon !
It's an ego flex to eat rib-eyes everyday. I like ground beef better. And, if you are burning fat, ground beef is a more expedient and efficient choice.
I am a veteran .. the cortisol activity fed by my poor diet was enormous ! fight or flight was a ongoing function of alertness that doesn't shut down when there's no actual threat .. it's like a emotional river that runs in the back ground of our thoughts that danger is out there & I need to be ready .. elevated emotions doesn't take much to trigger it ..
I understand. Keto has provided mental clarity and sleep better to calm that for me. But it is there, one step away from panic, but at least a non-medicated break.
Read and weep. Many cities in the UK have signed up to Net zero (no one asked them to!). They are busy trying to impose "meat free" in all institutions they control- not just their offices but also schools and care homes. This is a very sinister trend.
I’m from New Zealand. I’m 76 and started carnivore 3 weeks ago and feeling better than I have in a long long time. I had quadruple bypass surgery 6 years ago and started keto about 4 years ago because I felt so awful. This has been a revelation .. amazing
I was told I was hypoglycemic at 19 and thank God the Dr. at the hospital told me to start my day off with protein not 1/2 a bagel! It was many years later I discovered, Atkins, Paleo, Low Carb and now Carnivore. I’m now 63 and I feel fantastic! I had a bladder replacement surgery a year ago (8 hour surgery) and recovered so fast my doctors are still amazed! They don’t usually do this surgery on someone my age but I was in such good health they agreed!! Thank God! I love your show, I’m always learning!
You have Dr Berry’s show, he got me started with the 90 days BBB & E, I am celebrating my first year eating the carnivore way. Thank you and your family for your sacrifice and service. God Speed.
My V.A Doctor said I should eat Sweet potatoes A1c was 10.5..I just agreed ,can't tell these doctors anything...Since last March I lost 130lbs and A1c now 5.3,on ketovore eating cheap meats..
We love our chooks and they provide fresh eggs for us. We love beef mince made beef patties and sometimes we add cheese on top. Thinnly sloce pork belly is my preferred bacon as its not preserved and crispes up nicely and goes well with eggs. Beef rib eye is the best tender cut and pricey if buying everything else but on its own its great. But here in Australia we love our lamb especially lamb chops and slow cooked lamb roast. Wild caaught salmon is a lovely fatty fish for Friday's have 2 pieces and no need to have anything else. You save money by not having to buy desserrt, veggies, fruit nor any processed packet stuff.
Piggly wiggly and cash savers. Both if you buy a side of T bones it’s $5.99 a pound and the nice guy working in meat department will cut them into 1 inch steaks for me. So I get a whole slab of T bones for about $100. Then I bag them up in severing and freeze them. Yum yum. I live in Mount Juliet Tennessee. Cash savers is in Lebanon Tennessee and piggly wiggly is in old hickory Tennessee
"Hey Sugar, welcome back!" WTF? I'm sizzling! Hats off to you for making such a positive change, Dr. Cucuzzella, and SHAME on the individuals responsible for taking something so great and going backward. I really hope they see this and realize how wrong they were. Great interview. Really good info and tips here and so interesting/entertaining to watch. You both are so likable and approachable. Thanks, Dr. C and Dr B! Two rockstars. ANd thanks for the new books and recipes. Thank you SO MUCH to you and the men and women who serve with you for serving and protecting our country. I am grateful! God Bless you all! Here's my contribution that's easy and good to have on stand by (and I will try your fritatta. Love it!)

Add rest of the ingredients, stirring in chilis last. Pour into well-buttered 9x12 baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes
I have SS and a small pension. I found meat bargains. Bought breakfast steaks for 2.00 and Rotisserie chickens for 5.00. Grass fed ground beef for 6.98 a pound. Grocery stores often have chicken leg and thigh specials..Buying meats has cost me less than my regular shopping. Eggs are very plentiful here so I have many choices at reasonable prices. I live in Northern Illinois. I wish everyone the best on their journey to health.
I also struggled..... I stayed keto but heavy meat which was mainly fish. Then I move onto carnivore for a couple of weeks. And then back again. I wasn't a successful carnivore but I also had not failed myself. By Dec last year I found myself a carnivore. (That's a long story about induring myself eating crumpets and healing myself by eating sardines. Look up DR BOZ) So now I'm full carnivore. I'm sure your husband will find his moment. I wish you both the very best from West Aust.😁👍
I’m 83 been keto carnivore for 2 years now lost 25 kg I am a rower and now out row rowers 20 years younger then go home and do hard physical work all day my whole body structure has changed for the better and my thinking is crystal clear No aches no pain Carnivore works stick with it and watch the change for the better
I started 8 months ago and was very metabolically unwell. 154kg-340lb (53 yo 6ft male). I committed to make no change within 3 months “as a trial” and did STRICT Lion diet, which is just meat only carnivore (mainly ruminate meats). HbA1c went from 8.7 to 5.4 The first 3 weeks I had constant diarrhoea. It was bloody hard, but I was determined not to let it beat me…also, the other alternative/option of continuing the way I was just not an option. After 6 weeks, no meds! No severe depression with suicidal thoughts, no type 2 diabetes, no severe sleep apnea, no hypertension, etc etc. Now I’m happy, slimmer and weigh 101kg (223lb). I’m beginning to exercise again (in fact swam 10 laps for the first time this morning in about 30 years). It’s so empowering to not be “lead by the nose”, addicted by carbs and sugar etc and HAVE to eat 3-4 times a day. I typically eat 1-2 times a day but mid sized meals, still only water. Never hungry. It truely is a different life. If you have too much diarrhoea, just ease up on the fat content, but keep water and sugar free electrolytes up (LMNT make a version of this). Hope it all works out for him.❤
The Save-A-Lot store about 30 minutes from our home has a meat sale a few times per year. Last month I was able to buy 19 T-bone steaks, 8 ribeyes, a huge pack of pork chops, along with a couple packs of chicken wings for $173! My wife and I had passed on buying t-bones at Walmart because they were like $36 for a two pack. I bought the same two packs ( with bigger steaks) for $11 a piece at the sale. Just look around folks, there are sales out there!
I'm careful about buying at Save-A-Lot. They do take some advantage of people. Most of the cuts of meat are of a lesser quality, and thus less expensive. Also, the one by me totally gouges people on fresh vegetable and fruit prices. Buyer Be Aware.
I'm watching from the Western Province of South Africa. Professor Tim Noakes is my influencer here in South Africa. 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 I've been banting (Keto) for 3 years now.
I went army in 1983. I was 150 pounds in the first year I was 200 pounds. we ate 3 huge meals a day and put on lots of weight. i wish i knew about keto and fasting back then..
I live in WV and we go to WVU Hospitals for treatments. I want to personally thank the Doctor that tried to make a difference 😊. I am also a LPN since 2005 and noticed that the healthcare we provide is Sickcare model and we need to teach our patients to eat better. I quit my nursing job and went back to school for holistic wellness using nutrition. Then I stumbled upon Dr. Berry and Tim Nokes and it makes total sense to me! I have a hard time affording the carnivore diet so thank you for talking about this matter! 😊
I have a small lending business and a small clientele... all I can say is 99% of the time people get loans in order to buy unnecessary things, they live above their means and they don't know and they don't want to know how money works. It's a matter of wrong priorities... I have been carnivore for two years and I'm spending in groceries 75% of I used to spend before when prices were around 60% less than now. My son is visiting in three days so today I went to the supermarket and bought vegetables for them... I paid the same I paid the previous week in costco for my provision of beef for the whole month!
Fantastic interview. I had never heard of Dr. Cucuzzella before, but I'll watch for him in the future. He had such success at that hospital and then the CEO undid all of his great work. Sad......
Greatings from Poland. I eat keto since 2022 and carnivore for three weeks. I buy lots of egs on local farmers market and cheap meat from discount store. Here in Poland, we dont have grass/grain fes on the labeling, but most of our cows are fed hay and grass with addition of grains. Considering, that its way more expansive than pork and poultry, I dont eat it that much. I eat more duks, pork, chiken, fish (sardins, makrel and trout) and organ meat - liver once a week, hearts, stomach and so on.
The best flavor inexpensive meats we eat on a tight budget: chuck roast (roast in oven 325 for 45 min pound) pork butt/shoulder (roast 3-4 hrs or 7-8 hours in crock pot) bulk Italian sausage and hamburger browned in a skillet together, Sunnyvalley bacon ends and pieces, pork loin cut into chops and grilled, beef tri-tip or ball tip grilled or bbq'd (buy on sale). If you have access to a food saver vacuum sealer you can save 30% buying in bulk on sale, portion pack and freeze. As soon as we can move from our condo to small house we're getting chickens for eggs
Thank you. When I started low carb I was buying the cheapest of everything because I had to throw out/give away a lot of my foods; I had stocked up because of the C. I got rid of the high carb things and used up the not so bad things but then replaced them with better options. Now that I've been low carb for over 2 years I'm finding that I'm buying better quality foods. The rubbish I used to eat wasn't satiating and also made me want more so I think in the scheme of things it wasn't cheap.
That is exactly what I am going through right now. I could cry when I see how much money I spent as a poor person to stock up on grains and flour for C. I just found out I have a gluten intolerance. I feed the grains to the birds. They are happy about it.
@@wollfaden1979 It's good that you worked out that it is gluten even though it's not good that you have that intolerance. It's a real nuisance having a reaction to something and not knowing what it is. Been there, done that with an MSG intolerance (several episodes of anaphylaxis) and having to do an elimination diet and weekly food challenges. I had considered adding up how much everything that I got rid of totalled but decided not to; it wasn't going to change anything. I changed to low carb for my health (diagnosed with diabetes Oct 2021) so I just thought of it as an investment in my health. Some of the stuff I threw out but about 2/3 of it I took to work and put it on the table for people to take. I work in a not for profit and the people are on low incomes so I thought of it as making a donation.
That’s useful information. For others facing this dilemma, you can trade with neighbors or even give away that food instead of throwing it away. I gave my food away. It actually was a bit difficult to give away unopened high-carb food to friends after I thought it wasn’t good to eat, but I rationalized my actions by telling myself they would just buy that same food themselves.
I don’t know. I hate to waste food when people are hungry but donating the trash food you won’t eat yourself seems off to me. Isn’t that digging them a bigger hole? I don’t know.
As a veteran, this man earned my trust in very little time. Military nutrition is really bad but cost effective while appealing to a vast majority of dietary habits. It's not complete junk food but it's still not super healthy with a lot of bad decisions next to each other. I knew multiple people that went into the military as healthy adults, and after a few years proceeds to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Love your show, I have been on a modified keto diet for about 9 months lost 30 lbs have been working my way through type 2 diabetes and rumatoid arthritis, it's been a big help then I got a chm and that really opened my eyes, recommend these to anyone, thanks Dwain
Sardines with a sauce of sourcream mixed with a raw egg yolk and a side of butter are heavenly. Even if you don't like sardines or fish, you'll love them this way.
After 1 month on carnivore, i feel better no more mood swings my face lost fat and my jackets i can close again which i coulnt for a period of time. ty ty ty ty itss my life🎉 its my life life🎉
Walmart has the cheapest food I've seen. Turkey burger, whole roasting chickens and turkeys, eggs and cheese, heavy cream, frozen shrimp, butter, chicken, hamburger, all beef hot dogs, etc. BE Careful cuz lots of preprocessed meats have added sugar. Buy your own ground pork and make sausage patties with your added spices...really good!
Walmart non Grass Fed meat is junk The worst in The world that's why it is so cheap they are a discount retailer catering to the less educated low income crowd
EGGS: I used to buy the cage eggs and now they are phasing them out and bringing in barn laid; obviously still not the best, but I noticed a difference. The shells are stronger and the yolks more yellow. I've recently started going to the local egg farm and they are even better than the store bought barn laid ones. I often have to crack the egg in a couple of places to pierce the membrane and I had a yolk the other day that was almost orange.
@@romeliaarmstrong6143 I don’t think yolk color matters. As you stated it can be altered. In keto they prefer non corn and grain fed chicken eggs. Supposedly Pasture raised is the way to go - eating grass and bugs. But how do we truly know.
I am not on Keto since I am a type 1 diabetic, but I do eat low carb and have my entire life. One money saver is to buy a large roast, cook it, cut into single serve portions and freeze. Roast is cheap per pound and you can get a ton of meals out of it.
Hi Dr Berry, i live in the UK and have recently come across your videos, I really like watching them because you're straight to the point without any bull you tell it as it is. Im just starting on keto to get rid of all the nasty carbs. Your carnivore diet is very interesting too. Now i can see why the Evil Bill Gates wants everyone to stop eating meat! Im going to keep watching your videos as im learning so much. Thanks Mim
Thank you for this interview, as cost is a concern for my family. Out of all the keto doctors I follow, you have been one of the few that takes this into account.. Would love to see another Dr. B & Dr. C team-up!

Thank you Dr. Berry for everything you do! My income is SS and $23 in food stamps. I live in southern AZ and here we have a Food City which is considered a Mexican grocery store. They have the 73% ground beef which come in these 7-8 lb pkgs for $2.99 lb all the time. They always have chicken thighs and legs for around $1.29 lb. My local Safeway had london broil for $1.97 lb. I bought 20 lbs and pressure cook it and it is just so delicious & tender. I buy the cheap white eggs from Walmart. 75% of my meals are ground beef and eggs. Once a week I eat liver. I also eat sardines, canned salmon, and chicken. I buy bacon when on sale and save that precious bacon grease to cook my eggs in. I buy what's on sale and everything taste so good and I am never hungry. God bless you and your family.
The spear point for forcing people to go plant based will be food assistance programs. FYI.
🥳 bingo! You’re killing it!!!
That is wonderful and very affordable.
Wow, sounds like you've nailed it! Keep up the good work. I can take a lesson from you.
Food City Yuma AZ. Yes, I shop there often!
There is progress happening. My diabetic husband was in the hospital for 5 days and requested a carnivore menu. The dietician happily accommodated and let him order eggs and bacon or as many hamburger patties as he wanted. They called up before each meal and asked what he would like.
That’s fantastic 😃
Sounds amazing and hard to believe from what I've seen in the hospitals I know :D
Yes, far from what I've seen. My Husband too was hospitalized for knee surgery and is Diabetic. The menu restrictions were too limiting if he is only given foods approved for his condition. With questionable and unrecognizable meats! I was appalled. He us not on Carnivore yet, but I wish for us to try to help his increasing weight, cravings for sweets or alcohol... 😢
You call that progress?
In England doctors want patients to get better and heal faster to shorten the hospital stay. They offer meat and dairy free menus. NOW THAT IS PROGRESS!
Here in Canada they push meat and dairy. If you are not sick when you go into the hospital, you definitely will be when you come out. If it's an injury you don't heal.
And that's what keeps the drug pusher industry going here.
So glad to hear this! Hope your husband is doing better now.
This is what I eat as a female single senior citizen living below the poverty line in subsidized housing in Toronto Ontario Canada: Brunch: eggs and an avocado; Dinner: lettuce and seafood. I drink tap water. I buy: sardines, canned tuna, oysters and mussels at Dollarama. I buy the most expensive and best quality eggs available at the health food store, Carrot Common. I buy bags of avocados and lettuce in Chinatown. I'm almost 75 years old. I walk everywhere. I carry my own shopping in my own shopping bag. I don't pull any shopping buggy behind myself. I'm hoping to live until I'm at least 101 years old. Good luck to you all. Eat well and eat smart. 😊
Jesus Christ offers you eternal life, is that good enough for you? ❤
Living to 120 is (was) normal for humans.

When I was a kid, I was told to work hard all your life and it’ll pay off and it did every day of my life until my body started cashing checks and draining my bank account. I don’t want to live to 100 unless they come up with some amazing new medicine, in the meantime, I’ll just keep asking the good Lord to help❤️🔥🙏🏼
@@jeanettenejadi1777NOTHING in this world will be either perfect or eternal. Evil? yes. Misleading? yes. Confusing? yes. Not perfect, nor eternal. Given all the failed attempts and policies by believers in their own ability to make it so, I’d say that’s probably a good thing!
I'm a nurse in the 37th year of my career & I have never been more disillusioned with the medical profession as I have been over the past 4-5 yrs. I hate being part & parcel to the lies being told about ALL aspects of care & being powerless to do anything about it. I want out SO badly but am not close enough to retirement age to do so & I can't afford to quit & work at Walmart or whatever. The day I can get out will be a HUGE celebration day for me!
39 years, here! Good luck!
Retired LPN / LVN hospital nurse here. Was a patient in the hospital after they went all RN. Personal care was terrible. I was once again a patient this year was put on a liquid diet. All they sent besides the tea was carbs carbs and carbs. So I did a water fast for the 3 days I was there. The care was wonderful as they brought the LPNs back, which relieved the RNs to do all the orders and paperwork and deal with the complicated cases. Actually this might sound silly but I miss working.
Retired doctor 3 1/2 years. Can't tell you how disgusted I am about the last couple of years. Sadly many of my old partners are still bought in to everything. Good people, just blind to everything.
Don't quit. We need more open minded nurses like you!! Fighting the good fight!! Leaned this the hard way during the pandemic working in ICU.
29 year RN here. Agree 100%. I’m a part of this system that is making not just people sick but, it has made me sick!!
Dr. Cuccuzella was my Primary Care Physician before he left WVU. He saved my life and many of my friends' lives using his lifestyle changes of Low Carb High Fat diet and exercising running/walking (for me walking). I live an active lifestyle and have maintained my weight loss over the years. Thank you so much for having Dr. Mark on your show. He is a precious asset and invaluable source for the health care community.
From Connecticut. Been on carnivore diet. Lost 40 pounds. Husband lost 100. He was able to stop insulin. This is our way of life. 60 plus years old.
That's Awesome! God Bless You!!

The clamshell package of salad greens is $4 for 4 ounces. That is $16 per pound, folks. Then you have to buy all the stuff to put on the salad. Or…you can get a pound of premium ribeye steak for about $16. Carnivore is cheaper than rabbit food.
My butcher sells ribeye for 8.99 lb. Not grass fed but it works for me😊
@@Carnivore_Omayikes! That’s cheap!
@@Carnivore_Omaso what’re they feeding them😂
@@Realogn doesn’t matter. The magic of a cow’s four chambered stomach will detoxify the grain. Grass fed may taste better but as Dr Berry has said, the difference in nutrients is minimal. Even eating cheaper cuts, you’re still way ahead of the plant eaters.
you can grow your own easy & cheap too, search Mike VanDuzee for youtube videos on how to use a heat gun & rain gutter & pool noodle for growing nearly maintenance free spinach/lettuce
I have type 2 diabetes. Recently I had surgery and stayed overnight. I had to stop my Metformin and Farxiga for the surgery. I told them I was eating carnivore to control my glucose, so don't bring me anything but meat and eggs. And bring me double portions. They did! This was at UAB hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.
I went to school at UAB. An amazing college, in an amazing state, with the most amazing doctors and hospitals at UAB. Christ is king, bless him. 🙌
Great for you!
That's Awesome! ❤
You were lucky I spent 2 days at uab with no food at all and had to beg for a little water😢

I reclaimed my health after fighting, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, and I did survive. I realize that the food that I had been eating as a young woman was literally slowly killing me. So I began with a local nutritionist and they came and helped me have small grow beds where I grew my own berries and my own vegetables and herbs, too. Coupling all those healthy food groups with really good healthy, lean carnivore meat that was locally grown along with locally hatched eggs. I am now alive and cancer free going on 14 years. I attribute all that to my diet. I am now firm, believer and live by this mantra. “ if you cannot pronounce what you are eating why are you eating it”
I am now on the process of writing a book how I survive these cancers, and one day I would like to share it with you as well thank both of you doctors that I finally discovered you while I’m healing from a broken foot and I’ve been eating nothing but carnivore with some vegetables and I’m hoping I can lose some weight because I’m non-active so I’m working on my cookbook. Thanks guys for all your help.
I have a friend who is fighting pancreatic cancer as well. I'm trying to help her. She currently has a feeding tube in. Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
hatched eggs = live baby chicks
81,diabetic, 8 mo carnavor, I find saving money on groceries (Social Security, fixed income) I am from Florida!

He needs to be careful working for the VA. They don't like any of this in Michigan. My VA Doc was lowering my statin and recommended keto, they sent her packing. Raised my meds back up and said I can eat whatever I want. I ignored them and followed her advice. My stroke symptoms are nearly gone after only six months, and I've lost 30 lbs.
That's Awesome! God Bless You!!
Wow that’s despicable of them! Great work doing it anyway!
Its almost as if they want everyone chronically sick and dependant on expensive pills that range from useless to toxic
Point taken, but this not happening in ALL the VA in Michigan.
Also shocked he is speaking out on low carb....Our VA does nothing but give pills and pretend diabetes is inevitable. Would be shocked if he stays employed.
From the Arctic. Canned salmon is mostly pink salmon. It is not pretty or fancy enough for fillets so it’s not farmed and less sought after by fish mongers but it is the staple salmon the people in the region live off of. We call it dog salmon because it’s so plentiful we feed it to our sled teams as well. Great stuff. We love to smoke it.
You are amazing 🎉
I give it to my chickens occasionally in winter. I like it in patties with lemon juice.
totally. 2 cans of salmon, an egg, pork rinds, salt pepper and cayenne. tasty.
@@rclose23 great recipe and very keto/carnivore friendly! No lie, my boxers had coats like shiny corn silk from eating salmon with us all the time.
Love canned salmon. So many thing can be done with it. It is the hamburger of fish.
I didn't think salmon was flammable?
Canned mackerel is also a good choice, especially if you eat the bones in it. I am on disability, which is not much, but I buy ground chuck, ground pork, eggs, some natural cheese, bulgarian yogurt (only milk and bacteria), pork butt, pork chops or loin (if on sale), chuck or shoulder roast, butter, ghee (lasts forever), and a can of tallow (also lasts forever). My food cost has actually gone down since I started carnivore. It has really helped my autoimmune issues and all the stuff that comes with it.
You can make your own clarified butter/ghee with a pound of butter by just melting/boiling it gently until the butter solids fall to the bottom and strain it. I think Chef Jean Pierre has a video on how to make it. Then I put it in a jar in the fridge, but it will last a long time on the counter too. It’s the milk solids that will eventually go rancid, so removing them is why it lasts so long.
Where does one find Bulgarian yogurt?
Who is the Washington bridge named after... ;))
Me too! Food cost has gone considerably down, no food waste, and cleaner fridge!!! :)
I looked for canned mackerel last time I was at the store. None on the shelves, nor a space they might have been in. I had noticed the last time I had some, they were much smaller than the mackerels I ate as a young adult. Same for sardines. Took more individuals to fill same size can. Overfishing??!
Retired enlisted military here. 1 retirement pension with 5 children at home. Everyone is either Keto or Carnivore. Have been Carnivore for 6 years and have lost more than 100lbs and a myriad of conditions. Without a doubt it was cheaper to feed my family white rice and pasta....but at what cost?
Our staples are ground beef, eggs, butter, cheap steaks. We buy several cows a year and also store meat in the tube...Still the most nutrient dense food in the store.
I tell people I'm allergic to carbohydrates...because I really am! I've never heard a dr.till now say it...I break out, retain water, get sores on my scalp and my blood sugar jumps over 200 if I eat carbs...
Eating keto has fixed my type 2 diabetes & my fatty liver has been reversed!! I still hv a long way to go but I'm healing...finally on the right track.
YES!!! We all start somewhere. Glad you found the journey worth while.
I’m def allergic to carbs. Love this!
Dr C is my doc and I followed his guidance in Feb 2024 and have lost 25 lbs ; about 10% of my body weight. I was pre-diabetic and did not want to get worse. i just cut out potatoes, rice, bread, cookies, cakes, beer, ice cream. It works and it is affordable. My goals are to lose about 15 lbs to be where I as at on active duty. And off a statin for high cholesterol due to this diet change. Thank you Dr C!!
I am still amazed at the medical communities hatred of low carb.
We are threatening their profits.
But that's the main thing that made me start getting interested in it.
No money to be made from thriving individuals.
If you are a specialist, you will hate low carb. It eliminates patients from your practice. Hospitals make money when you get sick..why on earth would they want you well????
@@kaceysamuel2568not real insulin resistance. You have physiologic insulin resistance because you don't eat carbs regularly. Do an experiment. Wear a cgm, eat carbs every day for a week. If you have true insulin resistance the glucose will be terrible all week. If its physiologic it will normalize and improve in a few days. That's my experience. It gets better and that's how you test.
I just spent 10 days in a behavioral health hospital. I have type T2d controlled by diet A1 C 5.4. I would get 60 to 80 grams of carbs per meal in addition to up 6 packets of cookies
, chips, cereal bars, ice cream, pudding or crackers ; and 32 ounces of juice.
I refused most meals. I asked for bacon and eggs would receive rice crispies, almond milk, toast, apple and applesauce. At dinner would ask for a double portion of meat and would receive pasta, roll, fake butter, light salad dressing and a salad. Or I would order 2 cheeseburger patties with onions, pickles and tomatoes just to receive the diabetic meal of nonfat milk, mashed potatoes, corn with meatloaf .
I kept ordering ketogenic meals and they consistently provided me with high carb meals.
Nurses would comment on how good my blood sugar was and their blood sugar level was much higher.
The hospitalist doctor wanted to discharge me early because of my diet. They sent a dietitian to educate me about what I should be eating so could inject me with insulin.
I skipped meals, drank coffee and food from home.
That was inhumane incarnation! These hospital's diets are controlled by the government My Plate Guidelines. I hope you are better. See Dr Berry's vids on Proper Human Diet and Ben Bickman's vids on insulin resistance.
Good for you trying to do whats right…..Keep it up The hospital is the worse!!!!
Sounds like my sister's rehab. We're loosely on keto ( lots of non keto foods unfortunately) and she had knee replacement surgery. She would ask for something from yesterday if they still had and someone else always got to it first. At the time I didn't know I could bring in food for her or I would have done so. It was disgusting. I'm going to hate being put in a nursing home. I have too many allergies alone to have a typical American diet.
It's criminal isn't it, or they are innocently clueless. Good for you for not eating the crap!
Keto is great for mental health ! Keep it up 😊
I’m on a disability pension and save so much money on Carnivore PHD, all I buy is Meat salt Butter & eggs. I like cheaper cuts I can slow cook and intermittently have a treat rib eye. I no longer spend money on junk food, and I’ve stopped several medications, don’t need Supplements. Saving at least 30% on my previous shopping bills per week. I have also, an elderly cat & Dog that are so much better on Carnivore real meat too. Saving on vet bills as well 💪👍🇦🇺🥩
So true! My dog has never been happier since I've switched to carnivore 😅
@@Deeelite-17 we have 3 older basset hounds and they are now on 50% carnivore as they transition. They now have more energy and strength, and the rather badly behaved "big" boy has pulled my OH over and out run him several times 😂 we were not expecting that!
Bullshit!
@@lat1419 50% carnivore is great for a dog. O % is ideal for a human!
@@herbbowler2461 thats your opinion. It wrong.
New Boston, Texas! Started keto in October and lost 40 lbs and came off all 3 bp meds! Went carnivore 10 days ago and have lost an additional 11 lbs and I feel amazing!!
My MD told me to keep my carbs under 50g a day. I now consider myself ketovore, leaning towards carnivore. I use a few low carb vegetables but am focused on beef. No snacking, eat in the 8 hr window, fast 16 hrs. Down 12 lbs in 31 days. The biggest change in this way of eating for ME is that cooking was a relaxing creative outlet for me, now it is purely functional. I still cook a bit for my husband but very basic and nothing fancy. He is ok with that. He is not overweight. He supports my effort. I need to lose 20 more pounds. But now I want to just do this for life. My fatty liver dx is my motivation. My age is 73 and have a few good years left. I appreciate your videos so much.
You might have 30 years Left or you might be gone Tomorrow, my advice to you is serve God and keep his commandments
Im not military myself but many in my family are. Thank you for your service sir. Im carnivore/ keto, mostly carnivore for over a year. I fight c-ptsd from a long, abusive marriage to a rabid narcissist. I can say among other improvments that head confusion clears more every day. Im in my 70s now and have begun sprinting every other day
and loving life.
I understand the trauma from PTSD and from a rabid narcissist. Be good to yourself because you deserve it! Practice those boundaries 💪
Me too. Trying to heal my digestive problems through carnivore from an abusive covert narcissist relationship for 30 years 😢
Congratulations on your success. I was married 29 years to an alcoholic narcissist so I understand. I'm starting back on keto now. It's the only way I can lose weight. I'm looking forward to feeling good again.
I’m in my 70’s and want to start sprinting.
@linda7279 your post hit me.. I just began studying c-ptsd and realizing that I am close to this diagnosis than any other given me. I too was in a terrible narcissistic relationship for over 20 years and am still trying to clear the fog. I’ve mistreated my health badly and am now 51, homeless and underemployed. I just finished a 72 hour water fast and am now doing an OMAD/carnivore plan on a very tight budget. I pray to get to that point of having the energy to do sprints again. Thank you for sharing this!
El Paso, Texas. 10 month on Carnavore and 16-20 hr IF. Have lost 102 lbs. was diagnosed with stage 2 Liver Fibrosis. Liver enzyme are coming back to normal now. a1-C was 6.8 at start, now is 4.8.

Awesome! Well done.
My hubby, T2D, recentiy spent over 5 weeks in the hospital that was supposed to be 5 days. He had never been on insulin but they had him on it for the full time. Extention of stay started with excessive opioids shutting down his bowels. They put him on IV nutrition. For the 5 days of IV nutrition, where they had total control, his glucose was bouncing between 200 & 300, never below 200. At my husband's expense I got my eyes opened at how unhealthy hospitals are.
Whew, you must have one of those take advantage insurance plans.
They used to NEVER have type 2 on insulins, ever. But now…feed them garbage and shoot ‘em with insulins. That is NOT healthy on a body. My goodness.
Most folks are oblivious.
How frightening. And hospitals are supposed t b safe. I hope you were able t advocate/support him there
I was hospitalized for 5 days over last Thanksgiving. All meals were HEAVY carb. I found 2 things on the menu that had keto items on meal tray. I ate those every day. Eggs in the am and the insides of a chicken sandwich for lunch and dinner. Probably 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup at every meal. I lost weight. Yay!!
And they got to charge you for 5 weeks of hospitalization, including all the poison "food", and, of course, the overpriced medication.
You guys are so brave for standing behind the science when it is not popular and palpable to society.❤ Thank you for doing the right thing!!! 🎉
I'm watching from the UK. I'm new to all this, I really appreciate all your knowledge, thank you.
I'm on a tight budget, single mom on food stamps, working part time. I can't afford grass fed beef but I get what's on sale. I did find pasture raised eggs at a local store that they often have on sale for only $3/dz! I stock up then. Thank you for sharing tips on what to get on a budget. I'm not completely carnivore but I'm almost there. Already starting to feel better! I need to lose a lot of weight but my main goal is to feel better so I can move more.
If you have even a small back yard you can raise your own hens for natural eggs.
Sounds like you are doing great. Just keep on with what you're doing and you'll continue to feel even better! You are worth it!!
You are crushing it and are fighting the fight for your life and your kids. A noble purpose.
Good for you! Keep it going!
Do food stamps apply to meat? I head WIC and all those programs offer things sponsored by coke and Kellogg?
I'm a 50 year old woman who's in remission from chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was on a weekly biologic injectible medication "Enbrel," with other prescriptions like Celebrex, Methotrexate, Tramadol & Prednisone at times that made my immune system sick and my body obese & weak starting at the age of 27. I started eating a ketogenic lifestyle in September 2019, and now I'm mainly carnivore "Ketovore." This way of eating is the only thing that has helped my weight loss of 60lbs, severe pain, inflammation & metobolic health. Also, I started implementing lifting heavy weights, strength training & balance exercises 4 times a week last April. It has been a new life for me! You can seek your true health every day, starting with what you eat/drink & don't eat/drink. I appreciate your time & knowledge in this media space. Thank you,

TU U r an inspiration for me I’ve had RA for decades & carnivore has helped me so much I will lift weights & get stronger & get that bone density up
I have rheumatoid. My shots and pills aren't helping me. I'm starting carnivore February 12th to see if I get any relief. I'm hoping and praying. I want to try to do 90 days, then pick one food a week to introduce back into my diet to see if my R.A. reacts. Any advice for me?
@@lisamarie73100❤
Are you still on the biologics? They want me to take them for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis
Thank you for these details. I have done Keto in the past to mainly benefit my spouse's weight loss and health. Although I had no weight changes it was easy for me to overlook the other benefits I was experiencing given the sugar lover I am. Now I am experiencing incredible pain and inflammation from arthritis. This appears to be the one and only choice to make. Thanks again.
I think its actually cheaper than conventional eating. One meal a day. I never order or go out to eat though. Also eating carnivore will make you feel fantastic.
Always enjoy hearing from Dr. Cucuzzella; you have helped me make changes to my life, and I am still changing.
I want to thank you for your service and you continue your wonderful service to the human race. My beautiful parents were from Clarksburg, West Virginia, and Worthington West Virginia and I just think you’re an angel amongst Angel. My dad was on the front lines in World War II and he got injuredbut still came home and married my mom and had six kids and I’m the youngest. :-) They were married for 69 years before they went to heaven and they were each 94 years old and they raised us on a meat and fat diet. What an awesome doctor you are and I love you Dr. Barry.
Great video! I was in the US army 22 years. My last deployment 2005-2006, 16 months in Iraq. Convoy security and route clearing almost daily. My entire team were physically fit warriors before we deployed. Most of us gained weight and felt worse coming home. I think 2 reasons for it. #1 lots of high stress followed by medium stress and repeat. #2 food. We got 1-2 small servings of protein each meal and unlimited carbs. Hungry? Have some more carbs. In 2005 I felt young and healthy. In 2007 I felt like and tired old man. Diet matters
Thank you for your service too! May your food choices make you healthy! It is for us
Dr. Berry & Dr Cucuzzella just finished watching it live and thank you both for doing your part for the community.
Thank God there’s a few good men out there helping our vets. The food pyramid has got to change so military personnel, hospital patients, aged homes, etc can have real food.
Great interview! I live in the same area as Dr. Cucuzzella. While I don't know him personally, I've heard great things about him and the work he's done for the health of our community. I'm happy to hear that he's at the VA center now.
I am an RN and midwife and I also want to work in a hospital that you two doctors start. Loved this discussion. ❤️ thankyou
I am so thankful to of had Dr. C as my physician in Martinsburg, WV. He introduced me to the low carb way of eating. He improved my health 100% .. thank you so much Dr. C , keep up the great work !
I’m in Winchester, well Boyce now, but from Winchester.
Previous hospital administrator here, thank you guys. The issue is the raw food cost, simple as that. Carbs are much cheaper, are shelf stable, and people ask for them. It’s a tough battle, especially when the dietitians don’t support the change. Thank you again!
The issue is corruption
yeah like the Toast and jam offered and the Ensure is anything but pure evil ever health sugars and carbs. You people have no idea how or what is healthy and if you dropped the carbs/sugars and veggies and canned crap ENSURE you'd dam well know how to feed patients to support healing. instead it's like facing Dr Death in every Hospital under the Institutional western medicine model of Never cure, never heal and keep em ill with organs damaged by those pharmaceuticals also pushed to the unaware naive. There's no excuse when your paid highly with all the benefits but fail to deliver or ever take the role of healing a serious food matter! I hate all western medicine for being incompetent and stupid at best.

Love that the cooks and cafeteria staff can have a bigger impact on health than a doctor!
During the pandemic, grocery store workers were more important than the self proclaimed “important people” that have great paying jobs producing nothing.

Everything that has happened over the last several years has caused me to believe that most doctors are ignorant, lazy, stupid, or evil. It's nice to see that there are still good, caring, thinking doctors around.
Truthfully most Drs. Are in groups and they have to follow the SAD diet and whatever their group has decided They can’t go out of that box…..Its sad they are not living up to their oath.😢
@@iloveseaglass -- True. Those guidelines exist because doctors -- and their leadership and organizations -- are evil. There's a reason doctors no longer take the Hippocratic Oath: they willingly do harm.

I go to the VA for my medical needs, I was telling this nurse I was on a low carb/ keto diet, this over weight nurse said low carb is good, but you can not be on it forever.
I said I can, I have never felt this healthy.
I mostly have no health issue, and plan on keeping it that way.
You can't be on it forever if you don't have the willpower

My husband and i buy our beef from my uncle. He charges all his customers the same, last year price was $2.59 /lb,plus processing. A quarter lasts us a year and is the best there is.
I thank God there are still some real doctors who care about the people's health. Not drug pushers. I am working towards an ever more carnivore life style. Keto helped me a lot with weight, but I want to get away from oxilates and lectins. Great interview.
You talk me into it i'm starting keto low carb today
I live in Guatemala. Ground beef, eggs and avocado are my favorite foods and pretty cheap
Thank you for your service and continued service. I am a retired police officer and i can tell you firsthand that the departments really are not supportive in regards to nutritional information. It is basically your responsibility to fend for yourselves and try your damndest to make it home safely every day.
Thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service. Our communities could not survive without our police officers!
I buy 10 lb. Ground beef tube from Walmart for about $27. 27% fat(high quality, walmart is biggest beef buyer in the world) I slice that while wrapped into 1/2 " thick burgers. 4 packages of bacon, 4 sticks of butter and 18 eggs is probably $50.
This is more food than I can eat in a week.
Same basic diet for 9 months now and still loving it. Approaching my ideal weight and all chronic conditions gone and no more medicine.
Brisket from there is also great and very affordable. I pay way less than even the good doctors do. I'm not poor. It's jut what I like.
Grass fed finished only with no antibiotics
Incredible prices I wish they were here
Wish I wasn’t broke lol, glad you aren’t ❤
Great idea!
Sam’s for ground beef. Walmart for eggs, sausage. Costco for hot dogs. Will try Restaurant Depot. Will try the bologna. Thanks for this relief! I have been scared to death on how I could afford this. I have real hope. Thank you for this!
It's starting to change. I had a physical for DOT medical card and the Doc said Keto is great. She sees it doing great things for people. I belong to a truck driver Facebook group about cooking in truck. More and more, saying they are keto or carnivore. I have been low carb since 2018 (now keto). Just started hearing people talk about it in my daily life this year.
Our budget didn't change at all when we went carnivore. We enjoy ribeyes and seafood on a regular basis, plus lots of ground beef and chicken thighs and roasts. In fact, we almost always have money left in our budget when the next paycheck comes around. My husband and I are both retired. The reason we get along so well is that we are not buying the chips, cereal, milk, fruit and all the JUNK we had been buying. We couldn't be happier with this way of eating! Thank you Dr. Berry for all you do!!
Crazy how they put sugar back in hospital. Some want poor and even middle class to be obese so they can prescribe more medicine which makes big pharma happy.
We are worth more money sick and fat😢
It was unbelievable that after Dr C made Jefferson Hospital famous as the little hospital that could (cut sugar), his sugar addicted enemies put an end to that and ran him out.
I think your opinion is spot on. I call it Job Security for the doctors.
Hospitals they aim to kill. If the drugs don't kill you the food certainly will
Don’t think it is an evil plan. It is just fear of law suits due to not following established (though erroneous) standards of practice.
I am currently 37 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 34 weeks - I was on a clean Carnivore diet before I got pregnant and had lost lots of weight (which I am sure helped me get pregnant in the first place). Early in my pregnancy I just couldn't eat or smell any meat or eggs. I was so disgusted and completely fell off the wagon for a while. Eventually I started eating meat and eggs again but also ate bread and other processed foods, gave in to sugar cravings, had unhealthy snacks and literally just ate anything my brain wanted 😐
In a meeting they had me attempt, where they talked about how to eat with gestational diabetes, they said to NOT cut carbs and have some with every meal. I did that on day 1 and spiked my blood sugar through the roof with just 2 tiny potatoes (they recommend 200-300g cooked potatoes for a meal here in the UK).
Being diagnosed with gestational diabetes reminded me that this is not what I should be doing - for me and for my baby - and immediately went back to Keto/Very low Carb and my blood sugar levels have been fine since. Will definitely continue after birth and am happy to be back on track!
Going to head over to Neisha's channel as well for some insight on breastfeeding! 😊
Get the book , The Womanly art of breastfeeding, it was my breastfeeding bible!!! Good luck, have a great delivery, and healthy baby👶💗
I had the GSD too. Twice. You are exactly right. The nutritionists are absolutely wrong on this crap. I followed the recommendations on the first pregnancy and still had complications - baby was 9lb 12oz. With a head circ at 99.92 percentile. No one told me that those were complications. My numbers were nearly perfect.
Second pregnancy I followed a much lower carb plan and had a 8lb 9oz baby. No complications.
Same here!! I have 6 children, my 6th baby was born 2 years ago and ever since that pregnancy I have had a BAD aversion too chicken! Never had a problem with it ever before, not in any of my other pregnancies. lol I just cant look at it, smell it or even taste it without instantly going back to feeling that morning sickness nausea! Pregnancy does weird things lol
From Quebec Canada, been following Dr. Berry for close to a year... Carnivore lost 50+ pounds,, Great thanks!!
I'm an RN that attended Diabetic Education this morning. The Nurse educator discouraged Keto diet. All that being said, she encouraged me to apply and become a Diabetic Educator. I'm 20 minutes from Martin'sburg, 30 minutes from Shepherdstown and hope to meet Dr C in the near future.
I'm Guida from South Africa, Dr Berry you changed my life,
3 1/2 years doing ketovore and my blood tests are the best ever
Thank you to you and all the Doctors who have the same passion to save lives
Dr Berry I’m loving all of these interviews with people like Dr Cucuzzella, Mary Ruddick, Kent Carnivore, Gary Taubes, etc. I’m learning so much from these different people and how they are solving the standard American (or fill in an country) diet problems in their walks of life with keto and the PHD. Keep up these awesome interviews!

Today is my day 1 on Carnivore (2/4). I’m 62, 203 lbs, and I suffered a compression fracture at L1 in December of 22. I had bariatric surgery in 2001 and had a great 15 years until my surgical tool was overcome by poor dietary choices. I’m not whining, I’m holding myself accountable. At this point, I’m starting over because after the back injury, I was unable to do many of the things I was able to do before and the weight began to get out of control. I didn’t feel safe to garden last spring because I was still recuperating. Now, I feel the need to get busy before I go any further downhill. My success plan includes bingeing every carnivore technique I can get my hands on. Wish me luck!
Good for you! Best wishes!

I just made beanless chili tonight for dinner! Simple and delicious! This is the first time I have made it!
I live in the great plains farming country (Nebraska) not far from a 100,000 population city. A butcher shop there is grinding imported Mexican beef and I buy 85% burger for $2.49 every day of the week. they also have pork shoulder (butts) for $1.59, and either beef chuck rolls or clods for $5 per lb. Those 3 things plus eggs, butter and spices make up just about 100% of what I eat, and $5 max per day is easy
Wow...Lucky you. Meat is pretty expensive in New Zealand, even though we have good farms. I think a lot of the good stuff gets exported
Those prices are amazing. Enjoy. Shopping today at Frescho ( maybe a lower priced Safeway). An elderly senior was chatting to me (a younger showing me showing me senior) saying he never thought he would be buying baloney as he showed me two big packages of baloney in his shopping cart, along with a big carton of chicken legs, tiny bit of fruit. He says he does not buy junk foods any more. He also spoke about the price of chicken, to be going up quite a bit soon. this is up in southern Canada close to the US border.
I felt for him. I am one that doesn’t watch the news so I really don’t know about the prices except for what I see in the store. seniors & regular people are going to the store to look for the markdowns; 30% off the meat and picking that up if they can. Tonight, I made had pork sausages, mixed with spaghetti squash, onions, garlic, with chopped up cabbage, guess we are on a keto diet. My breakfast today;just eggs and bacon for breakfast with coffee earlier.
Nice on the ground beef! I can't find that for under $4 a pound any more. Pork is pretty decent though. I got pork butt for $1.69lb, pork belly for $3.49lb, so cheaper than bacon, bone on skin on chicken thighs for $1.29lb and pork loin for $1.89lb. This tend to be our staples. Along with ground beef.
@@meatavoreNana here in Vancouver Canada I can't get local lamb unless I drive an hour and a half and pay way more. Instead we have to buy New Zealand lamb. Where's the logic in that?

Dr C. Is my doctor thank God. I’m on team Dr. C. I’m a type 1 that became double diabetes. What a ride this has been. 2x in less than 1 year I’ve jumped on and off low carb. I lost 30lbs the first time (fell off the wagon because I was weak mentally), gained back 20lbs, and am now down 20lbs again after 1 month of low carb sitting at approx 270lbs. I’m the exact use case for all of this and just had an appointment with Dr. C. today. I’m an AF vet as well and have been unemployed for about 5 years now suffering from the roller coaster my health has been. I want to be a success for myself, Dr. C., and anyone else that faces this reality and needs to make this change. Thank you for the support of this great doctor and you’ve gotten a new follower too. God Bless!
Also, I had been averaging a total daily dose of 100+ units of nova log prior to this diet. Now I’m managing at 25 - 40 / day. The lowest amount of insulin I’ve ever used since I was diagnosed in 2008.
I'm studying up by watching different points of view, watching many vids. So I'm new to Dr. Berry. W0W!! The proof is there, the guy's transformation is amazing!! Looking good Dr. Berry!!
This message is so important. so many social media personalities out there love to post themselves eating ribeyes everyday. while it’s arguable that even ribeyes might be cheaper than junk food over time, feeding my family ribeyes every day isn’t doable. eggs, ground beef, i buy inexpensive chubbs of beef. it does the trick and is way better than pasta for dinner
Meat is not cheap in uk , but still smy husband and l live on ,£150 a month , that includes diesel laundry stuff , personal stuff ,shampoo , shower gel , we never use it all this month ,50 pounds left , l buy about 4 steak , pack of belly pork , pork shoulder steaks , some minced beef , get fish in Aldi @£1.99 .we get 30 eggs free range ,from farm @£5 , bacon ,streaky and back bacon !
Oh and butter !
I appreciate the difference if you have a young family , done that ?
It's an ego flex to eat rib-eyes everyday. I like ground beef better. And, if you are burning fat, ground beef is a more expedient and efficient choice.

I am a veteran .. the cortisol activity fed by my poor diet was enormous ! fight or flight was a ongoing function of alertness that doesn't shut down when there's no actual threat .. it's like a emotional river that runs in the back ground of our thoughts that danger is out there & I need to be ready .. elevated emotions doesn't take much to trigger it ..
Are trying eating meat?
See all videos by Dr Laszlo Boros MD >deuterium
Also Dr Robert Kiltz MD, he has a great daily 5A meat up
I understand. Keto has provided mental clarity and sleep better to calm that for me. But it is there, one step away from panic, but at least a non-medicated break.
Hypervigilance from too long in a hostile environment.
Well said…. veteran here.
“Hey sugar, welcome back”. I bet you could have cried Dr C! Thank you both for what you’re doing.
Read and weep. Many cities in the UK have signed up to Net zero (no one asked them to!). They are busy trying to impose "meat free" in all institutions they control- not just their offices but also schools and care homes. This is a very sinister trend.
I’m from New Zealand. I’m 76 and started carnivore 3 weeks ago and feeling better than I have in a long long time. I had quadruple bypass surgery 6 years ago and started keto about 4 years ago because I felt so awful. This has been a revelation .. amazing
I was told I was hypoglycemic at 19 and thank God the Dr. at the hospital told me to start my day off with protein not 1/2 a bagel!
It was many years later I discovered, Atkins, Paleo, Low Carb and now Carnivore. I’m now 63 and I feel fantastic! I had a bladder replacement surgery a year ago (8 hour surgery) and recovered so fast my doctors are still amazed! They don’t usually do this surgery on someone my age but I was in such good health they agreed!! Thank God!
I love your show, I’m always learning!
Wow, a keto doctor who works with the VA. I’m and AF veteran who gets care from the Loma Linda, CA VA and can’t find any keto support with them.
Well, it's Loma Linda, so.... Yeah
You have Dr Berry’s show, he got me started with the 90 days BBB & E, I am celebrating my first year eating the carnivore way. Thank you and your family for your sacrifice and service. God Speed.
Loma Linda is deep Vegan territory!
My V.A Doctor said I should eat Sweet potatoes A1c was 10.5..I just agreed ,can't tell these doctors anything...Since last March I lost 130lbs and A1c now 5.3,on ketovore eating cheap meats..
I don’t care what anyone chooses to eat for themselves. But the Loma Linda crew sure like to dictate what everyone else should eat.
We love our chooks and they provide fresh eggs for us. We love beef mince made beef patties and sometimes we add cheese on top. Thinnly sloce pork belly is my preferred bacon as its not preserved and crispes up nicely and goes well with eggs. Beef rib eye is the best tender cut and pricey if buying everything else but on its own its great. But here in Australia we love our lamb especially lamb chops and slow cooked lamb roast. Wild caaught salmon is a lovely fatty fish for Friday's have 2 pieces and no need to have anything else. You save money by not having to buy desserrt, veggies, fruit nor any processed packet stuff.
I miss my chooks., Eggs are so bloody dear now in NZ and they are never as nice as hone grown
Please learn the English language. Your comment is incoherent. lol
Piggly wiggly and cash savers. Both if you buy a side of T bones it’s $5.99 a pound and the nice guy working in meat department will cut them into 1 inch steaks for me. So I get a whole slab of T bones for about $100. Then I bag them up in severing and freeze them. Yum yum. I live in Mount Juliet Tennessee. Cash savers is in Lebanon Tennessee and piggly wiggly is in old hickory Tennessee
"Hey Sugar, welcome back!" WTF? I'm sizzling! Hats off to you for making such a positive change, Dr. Cucuzzella, and SHAME on the individuals responsible for taking something so great and going backward. I really hope they see this and realize how wrong they were.
Great interview. Really good info and tips here and so interesting/entertaining to watch. You both are so likable and approachable. Thanks, Dr. C and Dr B! Two rockstars. ANd thanks for the new books and recipes. Thank you SO MUCH to you and the men and women who serve with you for serving and protecting our country. I am grateful! God Bless you all!
Here's my contribution that's easy and good to have on stand by (and I will try your fritatta. Love it!)
Egg/Chili Puff: (eat for dinner as chili relleno, or breakfast as fritatta-style).
10 eggs
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
¼ cup almond flour (skip this if you're extra carb sensitive. It will still turn out.)
1 pint (two cups) full fat cottage cheese
1 lb. Jack Cheese, grated
1 7oz can diced Ortega green chilis
Beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add rest of the ingredients, stirring in chilis last. Pour into well-buttered 9x12 baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes
Thank you!!!!
I have SS and a small pension. I found meat bargains. Bought breakfast steaks for 2.00 and Rotisserie chickens for 5.00. Grass fed ground beef for 6.98 a pound. Grocery stores often have chicken leg and thigh specials..Buying meats has cost me less than my regular shopping. Eggs are very plentiful here so I have many choices at reasonable prices. I live in Northern Illinois. I wish everyone the best on their journey to health.
My husband is a retired af vet. He is struggling with carnivore. Thank you for your great work
He’s on the right path. I hope he keeps watching videos like this and researching. Hang in there, it’s the best thing to do. Good luck!
Hang in there. It works. I'm down 60 pounds from 6 months ago
I also struggled.....
I stayed keto but heavy meat which was mainly fish.
Then I move onto carnivore for a couple of weeks. And then back again. I wasn't a successful carnivore but I also had not failed myself.
By Dec last year I found myself a carnivore.
(That's a long story about induring myself eating crumpets and healing myself by eating sardines. Look up DR BOZ)
So now I'm full carnivore. I'm sure your husband will find his moment.
I wish you both the very best from West Aust.😁👍
I’m 83 been keto carnivore for 2 years now lost 25 kg
I am a rower and now out row rowers 20 years younger then go home and do hard physical work all day my whole body structure has changed for the better and my thinking is crystal clear
No aches no pain
Carnivore works stick with it and watch the change for the better
I started 8 months ago and was very metabolically unwell. 154kg-340lb (53 yo 6ft male).
I committed to make no change within 3 months “as a trial” and did STRICT Lion diet, which is just meat only carnivore (mainly ruminate meats).
HbA1c went from 8.7 to 5.4
The first 3 weeks I had constant diarrhoea. It was bloody hard, but I was determined not to let it beat me…also, the other alternative/option of continuing the way I was just not an option.
After 6 weeks, no meds!
No severe depression with suicidal thoughts, no type 2 diabetes, no severe sleep apnea, no hypertension, etc etc.
Now I’m happy, slimmer and weigh 101kg (223lb).
I’m beginning to exercise again (in fact swam 10 laps for the first time this morning in about 30 years).
It’s so empowering to not be “lead by the nose”, addicted by carbs and sugar etc and HAVE to eat 3-4 times a day.
I typically eat 1-2 times a day but mid sized meals, still only water. Never hungry. It truely is a different life.
If you have too much diarrhoea, just ease up on the fat content, but keep water and sugar free electrolytes up (LMNT make a version of this).
Hope it all works out for him.❤
I’m watching from Colorado. Multiple health issues . Started Lion Diet 6 days ago.
The Save-A-Lot store about 30 minutes from our home has a meat sale a few times per year. Last month I was able to buy 19 T-bone steaks, 8 ribeyes, a huge pack of pork chops, along with a couple packs of chicken wings for $173! My wife and I had passed on buying t-bones at Walmart because they were like $36 for a two pack. I bought the same two packs ( with bigger steaks) for $11 a piece at the sale. Just look around folks, there are sales out there!
I'm careful about buying at Save-A-Lot. They do take some advantage of people. Most of the cuts of meat are of a lesser quality, and thus less expensive. Also, the one by me totally gouges people on fresh vegetable and fruit prices. Buyer Be Aware.
Thanks Dr.Berry and Dr.C.
Great video.
I shop at Aldi all the time.
I shop at Walmart and Sam's Club.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day.
I'm watching from the Western Province of South Africa.
Professor Tim Noakes is my influencer here in South Africa. 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
I've been banting (Keto) for 3 years now.
I go to the VA in Florida; they suck! I have attended Dr Berry's UA-cam University! Thank you 🎉🎉🎉
Fla VA is a meat market! You go in a ribeye, come out minced!
@@cougarcandy921Indeed. They successfully death paneled my father. People need to be very careful if they are using the FL VA system.
Thanks, Dr Berry and Dr Cucuzzella, for sharing.
I went army in 1983. I was 150 pounds in the first year I was 200 pounds. we ate 3 huge meals a day and put on lots of weight. i wish i knew about keto and fasting back then..
I live in WV and we go to WVU Hospitals for treatments. I want to personally thank the Doctor that tried to make a difference 😊. I am also a LPN since 2005 and noticed that the healthcare we provide is Sickcare model and we need to teach our patients to eat better. I quit my nursing job and went back to school for holistic wellness using nutrition. Then I stumbled upon Dr. Berry and Tim Nokes and it makes total sense to me! I have a hard time affording the carnivore diet so thank you for talking about this matter! 😊
I have a small lending business and a small clientele... all I can say is 99% of the time people get loans in order to buy unnecessary things, they live above their means and they don't know and they don't want to know how money works. It's a matter of wrong priorities... I have been carnivore for two years and I'm spending in groceries 75% of I used to spend before when prices were around 60% less than now. My son is visiting in three days so today I went to the supermarket and bought vegetables for them... I paid the same I paid the previous week in costco for my provision of beef for the whole month!
Fantastic interview. I had never heard of Dr. Cucuzzella before, but I'll watch for him in the future. He had such success at that hospital and then the CEO undid all of his great work. Sad......
He continues to do great work. He is still doing research and teaching.
Greatings from Poland. I eat keto since 2022 and carnivore for three weeks. I buy lots of egs on local farmers market and cheap meat from discount store. Here in Poland, we dont have grass/grain fes on the labeling, but most of our cows are fed hay and grass with addition of grains. Considering, that its way more expansive than pork and poultry, I dont eat it that much. I eat more duks, pork, chiken, fish (sardins, makrel and trout) and organ meat - liver once a week, hearts, stomach and so on.
Thank you doctors for sharing that valuable information. I have learnt a lot from it and will share with you the positive results soon.
Buckhannon, WV. I have the privilege to have met and learned from Dr. C. He is amazing.
The best flavor inexpensive meats we eat on a tight budget: chuck roast (roast in oven 325 for 45 min pound) pork butt/shoulder (roast 3-4 hrs or 7-8 hours in crock pot) bulk Italian sausage and hamburger browned in a skillet together, Sunnyvalley bacon ends and pieces, pork loin cut into chops and grilled, beef tri-tip or ball tip grilled or bbq'd (buy on sale). If you have access to a food saver vacuum sealer you can save 30% buying in bulk on sale, portion pack and freeze. As soon as we can move from our condo to small house we're getting chickens for eggs
Thank you. When I started low carb I was buying the cheapest of everything because I had to throw out/give away a lot of my foods; I had stocked up because of the C. I got rid of the high carb things and used up the not so bad things but then replaced them with better options. Now that I've been low carb for over 2 years I'm finding that I'm buying better quality foods. The rubbish I used to eat wasn't satiating and also made me want more so I think in the scheme of things it wasn't cheap.
Good for you. Right. Cheap food isn’t cheap.
That is exactly what I am going through right now. I could cry when I see how much money I spent as a poor person to stock up on grains and flour for C. I just found out I have a gluten intolerance. I feed the grains to the birds. They are happy about it.
@@wollfaden1979 It's good that you worked out that it is gluten even though it's not good that you have that intolerance. It's a real nuisance having a reaction to something and not knowing what it is. Been there, done that with an MSG intolerance (several episodes of anaphylaxis) and having to do an elimination diet and weekly food challenges. I had considered adding up how much everything that I got rid of totalled but decided not to; it wasn't going to change anything. I changed to low carb for my health (diagnosed with diabetes Oct 2021) so I just thought of it as an investment in my health. Some of the stuff I threw out but about 2/3 of it I took to work and put it on the table for people to take. I work in a not for profit and the people are on low incomes so I thought of it as making a donation.
That’s useful information. For others facing this dilemma, you can trade with neighbors or even give away that food instead of throwing it away. I gave my food away. It actually was a bit difficult to give away unopened high-carb food to friends after I thought it wasn’t good to eat, but I rationalized my actions by telling myself they would just buy that same food themselves.
I don’t know. I hate to waste food when people are hungry but donating the trash food you won’t eat yourself seems off to me. Isn’t that digging them a bigger hole? I don’t know.
As a veteran, this man earned my trust in very little time. Military nutrition is really bad but cost effective while appealing to a vast majority of dietary habits. It's not complete junk food but it's still not super healthy with a lot of bad decisions next to each other. I knew multiple people that went into the military as healthy adults, and after a few years proceeds to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Love your show, I have been on a modified keto diet for about 9 months lost 30 lbs have been working my way through type 2 diabetes and rumatoid arthritis, it's been a big help then I got a chm and that really opened my eyes, recommend these to anyone, thanks Dwain
Sardines with a sauce of sourcream mixed with a raw egg yolk and a side of butter are heavenly. Even if you don't like sardines or fish, you'll love them this way.
After 1 month on carnivore, i feel better no more mood swings my face lost fat and my jackets i can close again which i coulnt for a period of time. ty ty ty ty itss my life🎉 its my life life🎉
Walmart has the cheapest food I've seen. Turkey burger, whole roasting chickens and turkeys, eggs and cheese, heavy cream, frozen shrimp, butter, chicken, hamburger, all beef hot dogs, etc. BE Careful cuz lots of preprocessed meats have added sugar. Buy your own ground pork and make sausage patties with your added spices...really good!
They are not that cheap when it comes to steaks and ribeyes etc compared to other grocery stores.
Walmart non Grass Fed meat is junk The worst in The world that's why it is so cheap they are a discount retailer catering to the less educated low income crowd
EGGS: I used to buy the cage eggs and now they are phasing them out and bringing in barn laid; obviously still not the best, but I noticed a difference. The shells are stronger and the yolks more yellow. I've recently started going to the local egg farm and they are even better than the store bought barn laid ones. I often have to crack the egg in a couple of places to pierce the membrane and I had a yolk the other day that was almost orange.
The color of the yolk is determined only by what the chicken eats
@@lesann1896
And they can and do dye it.
The chickens are often times fed vegetarian feed and soybean.
@@lesann1896 we. Have chickens 🐔 they all eat same food some are yellow pale yolk other more yellow
@@romeliaarmstrong6143 I don’t think yolk color matters. As you stated it can be altered. In keto they prefer non corn and grain fed chicken eggs. Supposedly Pasture raised is the way to go - eating grass and bugs. But how do we truly know.
I am not on Keto since I am a type 1 diabetic, but I do eat low carb and have my entire life. One money saver is to buy a large roast, cook it, cut into single serve portions and freeze. Roast is cheap per pound and you can get a ton of meals out of it.
Hi Dr Berry, i live in the UK and have recently come across your videos, I really like watching them because you're straight to the point without any bull you tell it as it is. Im just starting on keto to get rid of all the nasty carbs. Your carnivore diet is very interesting too.
Now i can see why the Evil Bill Gates wants everyone to stop eating meat!
Im going to keep watching your videos as im learning so much.
Thanks Mim
Thank you for this interview, as cost is a concern for my family. Out of all the keto doctors I follow, you have been one of the few that takes this into account..
Would love to see another Dr. B & Dr. C team-up!
