2nd time on carnivore - 1s time I lost 105 pounds after being a prisoner of my own home while recovering from a combat blast in Afghanistan in 2014 - I was much better and then I suffered 2 more concussions ( 13 total in my 53 years ) & hurt my back and gained over 100 back . Then I had a Dr at U of Missouri tell me he couldn’t do surgery because I was too fat and I needed fat loss surgery so I could have back surgery. I looked at him like he was crazy & said F that . That week I went carnivore again in July . As of today I’ve lost 88 pounds doing that intermittent fasting & walking the past 3 months. Folks my body and brain are beat to no end , I’ve got ptsd from 9 years in the Middle East in combat , and if I can do it you can . Carnivore, walking , and intermittent fasting have saved my life .
I had the lap band installed 13 years ago. I had to have surgery to have it removed because it was adhering to my other organs. The surgeon was able to scrape it off. I lost weight at first when I got the lap band then gained it all back. Food would get stuck in the tiny hole that was my stomach. I threw up constantly to dislodge the food and ruined my teeth. So I had to have them all capped. I have been on keto then carnivore for a year and have gone from 220 to 147 and still losing. I tell everyone DO NOT GET ANY KIND OF WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY! YOU WILL REGRET IT!
5 weeks on carnivore. My liver has reduced to is normal size. My liver enzymes have gone back to normal. ( They were very high) I lost the dermatitis on my head that I've had since 2020. I've lost 20 lbs.and my a1c went from 7 to 6.5. 5 weeks! 😊

For 25years of trying different diet, I've never supported the idear of eating only egg white and chicken without skin, thanks Dr for always looking out for us🙋
I have been carnivore for 11 months now. I have no knee or foot pain. I do not have food cravings since day 5 of starting. I feel great best thing I ever did. I am 68 years old and have lost 52 lbs.

Most humans can keep their lactose tolerance if they maintain milk consuption throughout their childhood, into adulthood. There is no mandated position where one day you can digest, and the next day you cannot. Your body is smarter than that. Dairy is protective (heart disease) and if you can keep up your consumption it is a real asset in older age. Always include fermented dairy and all the benefits of the only "complete food" nature provides is yours. Dairy is also a key source of C15 the newly discovered essential fatty acid.

Carnivore 5 days also my Husband he has lost 4 kilos, I have lost 2 also I've had digestive problems since colon cancer in 2016, it seems to be fixed, my Husband has always been a bottomless pit, could eat continuously he now says he knows what it is to be full for the first time in his life and his fatigue seems better.
Ty Dr Berry converted to carnivore from vegetarian for health issues all of which have almost all subsided. I am introducing 1/3C. naturally fermented sauerkraut and a 1/2" slice of fresh pineapple for digestive help. Been adding more salt and fat too. I grew up w a low salt low fat diet of the 70's which contributed to brain fog and fatigue. I shared w friends and hooe they change too. Most of us wwith brain fog are too fogged to know we're sick. That's the hurdle
My husband and I bounce between low carb and carnivore and have for 2 years. We are mostly low carb during the holidays and carnivorish the rest of the time.
It is very difficult for veterans to get second opinions, hopefully the new DOD will allow/change the VA system so Vets can go outside of this “swampy” system
I make my own mayonnaise with free range egg yokes and olive or avacado oil. Mix that with tuna for a nice plant and carb free tuna salad with healthy fats. If you tolerate all of these things well I do recommend it. Making mayo can be tricky.
Carnivore 4 weeks lost 16 lbs. Starting to get more energy. Have a lot of DX and cleansing to do. Very achy first 2 weeks. I use Keto Chow Mineral drops in my water. Like it the best. Thanks for all your videos. You are saving my life. I was so miserable. Age 60.
Speaking of dogs...There is a Native American creation story that goes: "In the beginning humans and animals were together. One day the earth started to split in two. The humans stayed on one side and the animals stayed on the other side. As the earth was still splitting, at the very last moment, dogs jumped over to the human side."
Dr. Berry, I am a 63 y/o male. have been on the conivor program for 5 months. I have lost 20+ lbs. This coming Monday, I will be seeing my Dr. They have scheduled some normal blood tests. I have heard as a conivor. My fasting preparations are different. I want to get the truest results. So I can make adjustments. All my at home tests indicate normal. Blood sugar/blood pressure. Thank you for revealing the truth about the proper human diet program. My body has transformed quickly. Again, thank you. So, can you tell me the approximate time to fast? 14, 16, 20, or 24 hours?
In responses to Dr Berry's comment at 19:30 "3 weeks you should be insulin sensitive" ? I'm going into my 7th month carnivore, and my blood pressure is still high and seems to verge more on high side recently and sugar fairly stable at 6.5 for 9 years. Blood pressure taking reading every day usually twice. And on average, I'd say from 126 - 145 / 80's but as high as 150, 164. Stopped Metformin at least a year ago and Losartan and Astrostatin 7 months ago. Age 75/weight 152.
Maybe you’re eating too much protein and not enough fat. Your body can make carbs (glucose) from protein if it needs to. Upping fat will stop you from running on carbs and get you into consistent ketosis. Have you tried this already?
@ForUsNaturals Thank you for responding. I've heard protein can make carbs but can't quite grasp how. I eat chicken skin, about 8 oz a week or cook with Kirkland butter (love it) beef fat if well crisped. What else is there? How can I gauge?
@ForUsNaturals I eat 3 eggs 3 sls bacon every day 6 am, a cheese stick at 10 am, maybe a meat snack between 11-12:30, and hopefully dinner no later than 5 pm beef, chicken, or 2 large sausages; occasionally pork chops, lamb or a rib steak. My "fasting" is just about 85% of my day after breakfast done at 6 am til dinner as close to 5 pm as I can get to 5 am the next day. TY.
Dr. Berry, you were my inspiration for starting keto 5 years ago. I lost a total of 40 lbs. Haven't had the money to do keto lately, but have been able to resist sugars and keep my weight pretty steady.
Hi Dr Berry, I have been about 98% carnivore for 10 months. Dealt with super high oxalates from too much plant-based seed and nut protein for many years. I did experience cloudy urine when dumping oxalates, my practitioner early on said it also could be from high protein. I've heard both that you can't have too much protein and that you have to be careful with your fat protein ratio. I still get very milky cloudy urine occasionally it seems especially after a big steak or ground beef meal in the evening Your thoughts? I'm a 71-year-old woman, very active and doing all I can to reverse the metabolic consequences of believing and eating according to the lies and advice of status quo and plant-based beliefs.
Just started to focus on carnivore/ketovore this month. IBS for years. Prediabetic. At this time, I am struggling with sweet cravings while trying to wean from stevia. I have been relying on stevia -for everything it seems - but I'm afraid it's been too much! So, I'm working on weaning from this. Wow! The craving is intense! Suggestions?
What do you think of my crazy (some would think) meal I eat almost daily.. 6 days a week then I treat myself to a steak (has to be rib-eye bone in!) and shrimp or like this weekend I will be roasting a chicken loaded with butter. Anyway I fry up a pack of bacon and I steam baby brussels sprouts (the only veg I eat) and also cook 4 eggs. I put the sprouts in a bowl and pour in the bacon grease from the pan and then add a big slice of butter. The brussels sprouts absorb almost all the grease and butter and explode in your mouth.. little butter balls ! And that's been my almost daily meal for almost 3 years now ! And I still love it ! Can't get enough actually lol. I went from 250++ lbs. to 170 lbs. in about 10 months and stayed at that weight to date. Male 5'11" 50's I do OMAD and can easily go the 20 hours I do every day. I'm a telecommunications tech I climb telephone poles and I've never had so much energy.. It's a power trip ! Blood work done recently.. All excellent.. but my cholesterol was a little high ! Gee I thought to myself.. I wonder why.. Chuckle! The lifestyle has become addicting to me.. No looking back.. Getting close to 4 years for me now.. Quit seed oils, sugar drinks, margarine, processed foods, carbs., sugar.. Been watching you for 4 years now too.. !! God bless and Merry Christmas !
@ingela_injeela before I used to do with gravy ,onion,bacon and liver but now cut into small pieces, cook bacon then cook liver in bacon fat. Only takes a minute or two if you cut it small. Dr berry said you don't need a lot each day.
Hi Doc, I know this question is coming in late and you may not even see it. Can you do a video on how people tend to just dismiss us (Keto - Carnivores) as hypocondriacs when we say we are doing this elimination diet, because eating the other foods create inflamation and other illnesses/ adverse reactions 😠 These people are so convinced, it really bothers me - to even waste 30 secs explaining how much better I feel since starting. I guess the longer I‘m on this way of eating, I‘ll just have to find a better way to evade their scepticism and insults. If you were an alcoholic, would they say it‘s just psychosomatic and try pushing a drink on you?!! They literally laugh as they‘re saying these things. There’s a whole new level of idiots out there, even bullies.
Dear Ken. What about purines in the meat? I suffer with inflammation in joints. And. I can only eat pork, allergy for other meats and egg, so is pork ok carnivor diet. 😊
Dr Berry, I have been doing intermittent fasting since Aug 2024. I mix it up 16-8, 18-6, 20-4 a few 36 hours and a couple 5 day water fast. Just finish my 2nd 5 day water fast. I use Celtic salt, Magnesium, B complex & apple cider vinegar during these fast. My blood sugar went fron 10-15mmol down to 4.7-6mmol. Triglyceride went from 5.3 down to 1.4. Mainly eat eggs, avocado, chicken, mix steam vegetables with butter. Some Sauerkraut, yogurt plain and some salad. Went from 225 down to 201 today. But my cholesterol double and I can't seem to get my blood pressure below 130/85. It's been between 130-160 over 82-93. Any suggestions? I am type 2 diabetic with a heart attack 18 years ago. No issue since the stent. I am 5 feet 6 inches tall.
Seeking answers/suggestions, please and thank you. Missed this earlier. Been on keto since June 2024. I started this for memory and to eliminate, or at least delay dementia/alzheimers (runs in the family). Keto has been a Huge Success! Observed an obvious, measureable improvement in memory and thought processing. The weight loss was a bonus (didn't care, wasn't the goal, pleasant side effect). Did my homework, learned as much as I could, found keto recipes for the foods I was sure I would miss (potholes and landmines). I've lost close to 50 pounds in the past 6 months, down two pants sizes. My question is, how do I modify my diet if I become too thin? Is there such a thing? A balance point? Do I need to modify my diet to not become skin and bones? I do not want to, I will not, consume carbs that turn to sugars in my body and risk continued damage to my brain. I do a modified and careful hormone replacement, Pauling therapy for tissue regeneration/support, vitamin and supplement support (part of Pauling), stay hydrated (target: 1 gallon of water/day) and my keto is primarily unprocessed meats, eggs, cheeses, with some processed meats and lots of no carb low-carb veggies. I try to keep daily carb intake at + - 30 grams per day. Sugar and carbs are poison to my brain. I need to find a balance. Thanks so much!
I don’t think it’s possible to lose too much weight on the diet as long as you’re getting adequate protein and fat on a regular basis. It’s not something I would be too worried about
I found the PHD Essential Tribe website user unfriendly. Complicated to follow so many different indexes to follow and repetition of some. The only thing I kept getting was people good mornings and diagnosing each other. Only saw a couple notifications for dr Berry speaking. I finally gave up - didn't understand how to even comment or use the chat. Not tech savvy enough to catch on to what I would call a new software program! I'll read the free Guide, listen to the corresponding video and listen to public UTube notifications!
@@Karisa1316 I appreciate the reply however ... Tomatoes are not on the list of vegetables in the PHD guidebook The word tomato is not anywhere in the guidebook Tomatoes are not included in any of the sample menus in the guidebook
I bought a large bag of allulose from Costco based on many positive comments from influencers. After seeing all the carbohydrates from the label, I threw it out! My bad from not reading the label!😢
Dr. Berry I cannot do iodine cat scan dye ivp dye and seafood and aspirin salicylates etc. I eat lion/ carnivore. You said I’m not allergic to iodine ? Can you please tell me more? I’d love to eat seafood again. At 20 years old I went Ana to all seafood.
Hi Ken, for interstitial cystitis, are tomatoes good or bad? Some people say they're acidic, but I thought when they enter the body they're alkaline...
I I am 70 and absolutely so so happy I followed you and all of my ailments hopefully, including my cancer might be why it was encased in a pod instead of spreading because you saved my life I believe at least you saved me from getting in a wheelchair and please if anybody sees this and also who I am, please try it. It changed my entire life , The brain fog disappeared in two weeks and it was the best I have ever felt mentally in many years And I lost 50 pounds in two months, I have extra skin, but I’ll work it out this summer hopefully !!! and I wish all of you and your group a very merry Christmas and thank all of you for your help!! I am very much in love with you guys lol, merry Christmas! but I do have a question about my nails they’re brittle. I’m getting 8 million hand nails, which are very painful sounds little but you can’t button a shirt or squeeze lemons it’s painful so is that part of arthritis? Do you know or is that part of the carnivore do I need a vitamin? I’m not sure but I’ll try to catch the Q&A later, love you guys absolutely!!!!💋
Dr. Berry ,I was diagnosed in 2015 type2 I was told that I need to be put on diabetes medication and the American Diabetes Association, and I refused it and I had a hospital receptionist to introduce me to you and Dr.Fung on fasting, now I'm o. CONAVORE diet and fasting ,no carbs ,but my morning glucose readings are still above 200 ,so what do I do to get the numbers down under 200, it did get to 194 ,but it went back up and I only eat 1 to 2 meals a day .Help me please.
Thank you Dr. Berry for these videos that helped me understand how to over come problems I have, I am on carnivore since 5 months to cure crohn's disease... well I had difficulties and still having till today, diarrhea is the current problem since I started on carnivore, may be my GI is not adapted to digest these quantities of fats and protein so I am suffering with this... I lost my muscle bulk and a lot of weight which is something I don't want because I had perfect weight and training with heavy weights and cardio classes... now I started on probiotics with digestive enzymes and ox bile, hope to improve diarrhea.. Please advise if I need to do something else, so afraid that my gut will not heal because it is irritated and bloated most of the time.. I mostly eat meat and eggs and bone broth....
I weighed 265 lbs in 2013, I now weigh 170 at 5'6", and 68 years old. I know I'm still very overweight, so I started keto a few years ago, and now I'm trying carnivore. My question is about loose skin, will that tone up at all, or will I always have loose skin? I'm writing from Puerto Rico.
My crp is 44 should be under 10 high inflammatory problem all other blood work perfect doctor says pmr .thought it may be nerve problem. Autoimmune came back negative. Trying keto
Thyroid issues. Ive been on Levothyroxine for last 25 years. I’ve been told it will be life long and I can never come off it. However I hear by going carnivore I maybe able to come off it, but how will I know if carnivore is reversing it as I take the medication daily????
I took it and mine got better after changing my diet. I had no problem coming off the medicine. I first took synthroid I didn't notice improvement of symptoms until I switched to NP then Armour. They both worked great my; symptoms eventually got better then went away even without medicine.
It’s ok. I did the same. 10 weeks, 70 days into carnivore, lost 40 lbs. Fell off Thanksgiving and turned into 11 days of excuses. Put back on 15 lbs. Got right back on Carnivore Monday. Don’t beat yourself up. Just a hiccup in the long run. Get right back on Carnivore now or tomorrow morning. You are great!
2nd time on carnivore - 1s time I lost 105 pounds after being a prisoner of my own home while recovering from a combat blast in Afghanistan in 2014 - I was much better and then I suffered 2 more concussions ( 13 total in my 53 years ) & hurt my back and gained over 100 back .

❤ so funny
He doesn't mince words!
Thankfully I have never thrown away a yolk!!!

I am introducing 1/3C. naturally fermented sauerkraut and a 1/2" slice of fresh pineapple for digestive help. Been adding more salt and fat too. I grew up w a low salt low fat diet of the 70's which contributed to brain fog and fatigue. I shared w friends and hooe they change too. Most of us wwith brain fog are too fogged to know we're sick. That's the hurdle
My husband and I bounce between low carb and carnivore and have for 2 years. We are mostly low carb during the holidays and carnivorish the rest of the time.
I absolutely love egg and shredded cheese chaffles..let em cool, crisp them in the toaster and top with whipped cream cheese.😊
BEEF,butter,eggs,salmon,sardines, coffee- almost 85 with colostomy and doing well with electrolytes and mineral capsules!!
Brilliant to hear
May God continue blessing you
That's awesome keep it up!!
It is very difficult for veterans to get second opinions, hopefully the new DOD will allow/change the VA system so Vets can go outside of this “swampy” system
It IS swampy and I ALWAYS tell Veteran's to make their voice heard with your local congressman!!!!
MAHA 🇺🇸💪
Carnivore. Down 105 lbs in 10 months. Unbelievable!
I make my own mayonnaise with free range egg yokes and olive or avacado oil. Mix that with tuna for a nice plant and carb free tuna salad with healthy fats. If you tolerate all of these things well I do recommend it. Making mayo can be tricky.
Carnivore 4 weeks lost 16 lbs. Starting to get more energy. Have a lot of DX and cleansing to do. Very achy first 2 weeks. I use Keto Chow Mineral drops in my water. Like it the best. Thanks for all your videos. You are saving my life. I was so miserable. Age 60.
Dr Bikman was on a panel on benefits of allulose
5.00Thanks!
Thanks so much Dr Berry! You’re the best 🙏🏼🌹🙌🏻
I like L-Theanine and Ashwagandha for helping with sleep 😊
Speaking of dogs...There is a Native American creation story that goes: "In the beginning humans and animals were together. One day the earth started to split in two. The humans stayed on one side and the animals stayed on the other side. As the earth was still splitting, at the very last moment, dogs jumped over to the human side."
Love this. Love my dogs!
Thanks for this Dr ❤
Dr. Berry, I am a 63 y/o male. have been on the conivor program for 5 months. I have lost 20+ lbs. This coming Monday, I will be seeing my Dr. They have scheduled some normal blood tests. I have heard as a conivor. My fasting preparations are different. I want to get the truest results. So I can make adjustments. All my at home tests indicate normal. Blood sugar/blood pressure. Thank you for revealing the truth about the proper human diet program. My body has transformed quickly. Again, thank you.
So, can you tell me the approximate time to fast? 14, 16, 20, or 24 hours?
Always appreciate you!
Thanks!
In responses to Dr Berry's comment at 19:30 "3 weeks you should be insulin sensitive" ? I'm going into my 7th month carnivore, and my blood pressure is still high and seems to verge more on high side recently and sugar fairly stable at 6.5 for 9 years. Blood pressure taking reading every day usually twice. And on average, I'd say from 126 - 145 / 80's but as high as 150, 164. Stopped Metformin at least a year ago and Losartan and Astrostatin 7 months ago. Age 75/weight 152.
Maybe you’re eating too much protein and not enough fat. Your body can make carbs (glucose) from protein if it needs to. Upping fat will stop you from running on carbs and get you into consistent ketosis. Have you tried this already?
@ForUsNaturals Thank you for responding. I've heard protein can make carbs but can't quite grasp how. I eat chicken skin, about 8 oz a week or cook with Kirkland butter (love it) beef fat if well crisped. What else is there? How can I gauge?
@ForUsNaturals I eat 3 eggs 3 sls bacon every day 6 am, a cheese stick at 10 am, maybe a meat snack between 11-12:30, and hopefully dinner no later than 5 pm beef, chicken, or 2 large sausages; occasionally pork chops, lamb or a rib steak. My "fasting" is just about 85% of my day after breakfast done at 6 am til dinner as close to 5 pm as I can get to 5 am the next day. TY.
Dr. Berry, you were my inspiration for starting keto 5 years ago. I lost a total of 40 lbs. Haven't had the money to do keto lately, but have been able to resist sugars and keep my weight pretty steady.
I will be ever grateful to Dr Berry
Love your vids
Hi Dr Berry, I have been about 98% carnivore for 10 months. Dealt with super high oxalates from too much plant-based seed and nut protein for many years. I did experience cloudy urine when dumping oxalates, my practitioner early on said it also could be from high protein. I've heard both that you can't have too much protein and that you have to be careful with your fat protein ratio. I still get very milky cloudy urine occasionally it seems especially after a big steak or ground beef meal in the evening Your thoughts? I'm a 71-year-old woman, very active and doing all I can to reverse the metabolic consequences of believing and eating according to the lies and advice of status quo and plant-based beliefs.
For acne also a clean pillowcase and wash cloth daily. Sulfur soap to wash.
Colloidal silver topically might help for pimples too. I use for occasional blocked pores and styes.
Carnivore plus.. Greek yogurt, pork rinds, walnuts, pecans, macadamia, cheese, sour cream, coffee and 100 pct dark cocoa
I have to exclude all of that to get a chance to heal. But hoping to add them back in the future.
I eat low carb….under 20 carbs per day….no seed oils or sugar. Very few veggies. I eat twice daily and I eat bacon and eggs every day for lunch.
What kind of bacon...turkey?
@@colettejaques2559Generally if someone says”Bacon”, they mean bacon. If they’re eating imitation bacon from some other substance they’ll say so.
I am turning 75 in February Been carnivore 7 years. Love my energy and looks. But my guth. Is giving out
Nice new glasses 😊
Thanks Dr Berry!! Great show!
Just started to focus on carnivore/ketovore this month. IBS for years. Prediabetic. At this time, I am struggling with sweet cravings while trying to wean from stevia. I have been relying on stevia -for everything it seems - but I'm afraid it's been too much! So, I'm working on weaning from this. Wow! The craving is intense! Suggestions?
I was in the same boat. I just pushed through, and it passed in about a month. Best of luck to you!
I did no carb November, but now I’m doing more keto carnivore at least until Christmas.
What do you think of my crazy (some would think) meal I eat almost daily.. 6 days a week then I treat myself to a steak (has to be rib-eye bone in!) and shrimp or like this weekend I will be roasting a chicken loaded with butter. Anyway I fry up a pack of bacon and I steam baby brussels sprouts (the only veg I eat) and also cook 4 eggs. I put the sprouts in a bowl and pour in the bacon grease from the pan and then add a big slice of butter. The brussels sprouts absorb almost all the grease and butter and explode in your mouth.. little butter balls ! And that's been my almost daily meal for almost 3 years now ! And I still love it ! Can't get enough actually lol. I went from 250++ lbs. to 170 lbs. in about 10 months and stayed at that weight to date. Male 5'11" 50's
I do OMAD and can easily go the 20 hours I do every day. I'm a telecommunications tech I climb telephone poles and I've never had so much energy.. It's a power trip !
Blood work done recently.. All excellent.. but my cholesterol was a little high ! Gee I thought to myself.. I wonder why.. Chuckle!
The lifestyle has become addicting to me.. No looking back.. Getting close to 4 years for me now.. Quit seed oils, sugar drinks, margarine, processed foods, carbs., sugar..
Been watching you for 4 years now too.. !! God bless and Merry Christmas !
If you have a concussion or TBI you need lots omega3 FATS. Grass fed beef, salmon, eggs, pork
Just had liver and bacon for breakfast,yum
I had it for dinner along with 4 eggs lol
How do you cook your liver?
@ingela_injeela before I used to do with gravy ,onion,bacon and liver but now cut into small pieces, cook bacon then cook liver in bacon fat. Only takes a minute or two if you cut it small. Dr berry said you don't need a lot each day.
@suerichards47 Thank you. I"ll definitely try it. Perhaps with a little cream. Sounds good with bacon.
My favorite Doc!!!!! ❤
That explanation of glucose on demand was great! Short?
Thank you. Carnivore 3 weeks, I was insulin dependent, have not used insulin in the whole time blood sugar levels are 89 -99!
Trying to do carnivore
How is it going?
My husband and I both enjoy eating a ketovore lifestyle!
Hi Doc, I know this question is coming in late and you may not even see it. Can you do a video on how people tend to just dismiss us (Keto - Carnivores) as hypocondriacs when we say we are doing this elimination diet, because eating the other foods create inflamation and other illnesses/ adverse reactions 😠 These people are so convinced, it really bothers me - to even waste 30 secs explaining how much better I feel since starting. I guess the longer I‘m on this way of eating, I‘ll just have to find a better way to evade their scepticism and insults. If you were an alcoholic, would they say it‘s just psychosomatic and try pushing a drink on you?!! They literally laugh as they‘re saying these things. There’s a whole new level of idiots out there, even bullies.
Keto since 12-01-19
Carnivore since 07-28-23
Dear Ken. What about purines in the meat? I suffer with inflammation in joints. And. I can only eat pork, allergy for other meats and egg, so is pork ok carnivor diet. 😊
Go for it Ken
Thank for iodine information I needed
Dr Berry has videos on iodine on here on Utube
Thank you so much
Thank you!❤
Is there a particular CGM that you would recommend? Love your content. Thank you so much for all you contribute!
Hello to Granny Berry from San Diego 🏖️☀️ 🥩 🍳
Dr Berry, I have been doing intermittent fasting since Aug 2024. I mix it up 16-8, 18-6, 20-4 a few 36 hours and a couple 5 day water fast. Just finish my 2nd 5 day water fast. I use Celtic salt, Magnesium, B complex & apple cider vinegar during these fast. My blood sugar went fron 10-15mmol down to 4.7-6mmol. Triglyceride went from 5.3 down to 1.4. Mainly eat eggs, avocado, chicken, mix steam vegetables with butter. Some Sauerkraut, yogurt plain and some salad. Went from 225 down to 201 today.
But my cholesterol double and I can't seem to get my blood pressure below 130/85. It's been between 130-160 over 82-93. Any suggestions? I am type 2 diabetic with a heart attack 18 years ago. No issue since the stent. I am 5 feet 6 inches tall.
Seeking answers/suggestions, please and thank you. Missed this earlier. Been on keto since June 2024. I started this for memory and to eliminate, or at least delay dementia/alzheimers (runs in the family). Keto has been a Huge Success! Observed an obvious, measureable improvement in memory and thought processing. The weight loss was a bonus (didn't care, wasn't the goal, pleasant side effect). Did my homework, learned as much as I could, found keto recipes for the foods I was sure I would miss (potholes and landmines). I've lost close to 50 pounds in the past 6 months, down two pants sizes. My question is, how do I modify my diet if I become too thin? Is there such a thing? A balance point? Do I need to modify my diet to not become skin and bones? I do not want to, I will not, consume carbs that turn to sugars in my body and risk continued damage to my brain. I do a modified and careful hormone replacement, Pauling therapy for tissue regeneration/support, vitamin and supplement support (part of Pauling), stay hydrated (target: 1 gallon of water/day) and my keto is primarily unprocessed meats, eggs, cheeses, with some processed meats and lots of no carb low-carb veggies. I try to keep daily carb intake at + - 30 grams per day. Sugar and carbs are poison to my brain. I need to find a balance. Thanks so much!
I don’t think it’s possible to lose too much weight on the diet as long as you’re getting adequate protein and fat on a regular basis. It’s not something I would be too worried about
the amazing blumpkin 😂😂😂
I found the PHD Essential Tribe website user unfriendly. Complicated to follow so many different indexes to follow and repetition of some. The only thing I kept getting was people good mornings and diagnosing each other. Only saw a couple notifications for dr Berry speaking. I finally gave up - didn't understand how to even comment or use the chat. Not tech savvy enough to catch on to what I would call a new software program! I'll read the free Guide, listen to the corresponding video and listen to public UTube notifications!
why are there some tomatoes in the picture on the first page of the proper human diet (PHD) guidebook? That does not seem right to me.
Tomatoes technically fall within the proper human diet
@@Karisa1316 I appreciate the reply however ...
Tomatoes are not on the list of vegetables in the PHD guidebook
The word tomato is not anywhere in the guidebook
Tomatoes are not included in any of the sample menus in the guidebook
@ Hmmm, I didn’t realize that. That’s interesting then 🤔
Thank you!
I bought a large bag of allulose from Costco based on many positive comments from influencers. After seeing all the carbohydrates from the label, I threw it out! My bad from not reading the label!😢
Allulose “carbs” are not processed by the body like regular carbs are. It’s actually a good alternative and beneficial to insulin resistance
I never bought bacon all these years because of the nitrates you're saying that they're good for you!
Dr. Berry I cannot do iodine cat scan dye ivp dye and seafood and aspirin salicylates etc. I eat lion/ carnivore. You said I’m not allergic to iodine ? Can you please tell me more? I’d love to eat seafood again. At 20 years old I went Ana to all seafood.
Hi Ken, for interstitial cystitis, are tomatoes good or bad? Some people say they're acidic, but I thought when they enter the body they're alkaline...
I I am 70 and absolutely so so happy I followed you and all of my ailments hopefully, including my cancer might be why it was encased in a pod instead of spreading because you saved my life I believe at least you saved me from getting in a wheelchair and please if anybody sees this and also who I am, please try it. It changed my entire life , The brain fog disappeared in two weeks and it was the best I have ever felt mentally in many years And I lost 50 pounds in two months, I have extra skin, but I’ll work it out this summer hopefully !!! and I wish all of you and your group a very merry Christmas and thank all of you for your help!! I am very much in love with you guys lol, merry Christmas! but I do have a question about my nails they’re brittle. I’m getting 8 million hand nails, which are very painful sounds little but you can’t button a shirt or squeeze lemons it’s painful so is that part of arthritis? Do you know or is that part of the carnivore do I need a vitamin? I’m not sure but I’ll try to catch the Q&A later, love you guys absolutely!!!!💋
Dr. Berry ,I was diagnosed in 2015 type2 I was told that I need to be put on diabetes medication and the American Diabetes Association, and I refused it and I had a hospital receptionist to introduce me to you and Dr.Fung on fasting, now I'm o. CONAVORE diet and fasting ,no carbs ,but my morning glucose readings are still above 200 ,so what do I do to get the numbers down under 200, it did get to 194 ,but it went back up and I only eat 1 to 2 meals a day .Help me please.
It will take some time. Don’t give up. Watch as many videos on those channels as you can. It’s a great education
Hi Dr please advisea for UTI in women. Will carnivore help ame?
Thank you Dr. Berry for these videos that helped me understand how to over come problems I have, I am on carnivore since 5 months to cure crohn's disease... well I had difficulties and still having till today, diarrhea is the current problem since I started on carnivore, may be my GI is not adapted to digest these quantities of fats and protein so I am suffering with this... I lost my muscle bulk and a lot of weight which is something I don't want because I had perfect weight and training with heavy weights and cardio classes... now I started on probiotics with digestive enzymes and ox bile, hope to improve diarrhea.. Please advise if I need to do something else, so afraid that my gut will not heal because it is irritated and bloated most of the time.. I mostly eat meat and eggs and bone broth....
Any advice on my Sarcopenia? Thanks. Melville from sunny Malaysia
I personally checked my blood sugar after eating allulose and it went down instead of up!!!
My health is being transformed by carnivore! Shared ❤
I weighed 265 lbs in 2013, I now weigh 170 at 5'6", and 68 years old. I know I'm still very overweight, so I started keto a few years ago, and now I'm trying carnivore. My question is about loose skin, will that tone up at all, or will I always have loose skin?
I'm writing from Puerto Rico.
Look up fasting for loose skin
Do some fasting while on keto. I have a little loose skin but not much. It seems to improve each year.
My crp is 44 should be under 10 high inflammatory problem all other blood work perfect doctor says pmr .thought it may be nerve problem. Autoimmune came back negative. Trying keto
RED LIGHT therapy for head concussions! Look it up
I love you and your wife. Don't forget about Neshas Way. She's also great
I use Triiodine supplement, would this be as good as the lugols 2%?
I have good literature on it , it’s great , I use it
Eating mostly Carnivore but occasionally Keto
I've been carnivore since March this year, and gained 12lbs. Now I'm 25lbs overweight. But my tsh was over 20 inAugust. That must be why.
Best things to do about high blood pressure 😊
I’m on Ketovere!!!!!
Watching from Canada 🇨🇦
Thyroid issues. Ive been on Levothyroxine for last 25 years. I’ve been told it will be life long and I can never come off it. However I hear by going carnivore I maybe able to come off it, but how will I know if carnivore is reversing it as I take the medication daily????
I took it and mine got better after changing my diet. I had no problem coming off the medicine. I first took synthroid I didn't notice improvement of symptoms until I switched to NP then Armour. They both worked great my; symptoms eventually got better then went away even without medicine.
Be Alpha, Woman/Man. This is Your Miracle. Please Pay it Forward 🙏
My husband and I are starting now
Fell off the wagon Thanksgiving and having a hard time going strict again. HELP!
It’s ok. I did the same. 10 weeks, 70 days into carnivore, lost 40 lbs. Fell off Thanksgiving and turned into 11 days of excuses. Put back on 15 lbs. Got right back on Carnivore Monday. Don’t beat yourself up. Just a hiccup in the long run. Get right back on Carnivore now or tomorrow morning. You are great!

How much butter should you consume in a day?
I am so addicted to sugar. I keep falling off the wagon due to the addiction. If I have a little bit I have 5lbs of it
Totally relatable!
