Been carnivore for over 4 years now and feeling great. My knees are in very bad shape and eating carbs puts me in a great deal of pain. I was sure I was heading toward a wheelchair situation before I started. When I switched to keto, I lost weight, but my knees still gave me problems. Switched to carnivore and I can walk again. Thank you LORD.
@@ding9633369 or 8, 0 sometimes and there you go I just upgraded your personality congratulations you will start to notice symptoms like a strong desire to do hard work you know that really get dirty feeling amazingly you will start donating to the American conservatives you can’t seem to stop loving ❤😊 you’re welcome I love you too 🔜💰🥳
Yep, I had a problem with my knee, same process, keto - lost weight but still had a bad knee, switched to carnivore, knee fixed, yet my friends still trying to tell me my knee got better because I lost weight, not because I started eating just meat
I started carnivore as a desperate bed bound sick person. I tried western medicine for a decade with very little change in symptoms. With in 12 days of carnivore my head pressure normalized. Within 1 year I had no seizures, no migraines and was able to go back to work. Over the last few years I am more ketovore and still thriving.
just do not eat blood and pork or any animals that eat meat. eat herbivore meat. pork has worms called Pork Tapeworms. they dig in your brain make your brain looks like Swiss cheese
Please read the China Study as well as books by Dr. MCDOUGALL ON THIS. You will experience success as you e indicated, it's true, but you will eventually develop cancer. No doubt. Vegetables purify the blood, kidneys, and lymph. Meat contains other animal excrement it is fed to fatten it up.
She's 1. Beautiful 2. Perfect glowing skin without makeup 3. Great pianist 4. Very articulate 5. Intelligent 6. Strong woman. Of course, they hate her.
Most, if not all, of her critics are eating a high carb, low fat, low protein diet. It's very likely they are suffering from brain fog and/or mental health issues. Probably both. I feel pity for them.
@@geo1962 "It's very likely they are suffering from brain fog and/or mental health issues." I don't, I simply do better including fruits and vegetables along with meat.
In fairness it is almost the exact opposite of what has been the message from the "experts" for decades. It took them a long time to transition people to that style of eating. It's going to take a while for people to open there eyes and ears to this. Once the "experts" catch on it will move much faster.
I have been a carnivore for 2 years. I have been able to control my type 1 diabetes, stay healthy, no more aches and pains, or asthma. I've lost 55 lbs. Was a size 18 and am now a size 8. I am 65, and feel better than I have in years!
I'm type 1, how do you cope with hypos? I've been carnivore 3 years but still get hypos so guess I need to lower my basal rates. Any advice gratefully received
LOL I had a Chihuahua that had the worst toxic dog farts I have ever experienced. What was so funny is he would always watch us run out of the room and he would smell it himself and try to run but that is in a way futile. NGL he one day farted and me and my GF ran out of the room and he chased us and then we saw him actually figure it out and he started barking at his poop hole. from that day forward this dang dog would lay some gas out and then start growling and then would stare at his tail and for next five minutes he would attack his own butt with ferocity! He hated it so bad that thank God his body prevented his mouth from reaching his anus or all hell would of broke loose!
Only good. Dogs do not manufacture kibble, which was invented in America around the 1930s-1950s. Dogs got scraps of human food, that was meat and some veg, bones, fat, etc@suethompson2969
She's totally legit. I have had a similar experience. Was vegetarian most of my adult life. Developed various digestive and metabolic problems, joint pain, gout over the last 25 years. All of which disappeared after 4 months on carnivore! Meat, fish, eggs, butter; high fat and protein, zero carbs. OMAD. At 71, I am jacked, lost a bunch of weight, and haven't felt this good since I was a teenage athelete.
Congratulations. How long do you fast per day with OMAD? I’m doing 23 hours per day and I’d like to know if it’s too much fasting with OMAD and carnivore. Thanks for any tips you have.
@@zackolinger many carnivores only eat once a day, as long as they're eating enough at that one sitting it works for them. Are you having any symptoms? Low energy, can't sleep, anything else?
Too skinny. Couldn’t do real work or an extreme sport all day every day. If you are living in an alternate reality and have money and a weak job of making videos in your kitchen, then you can literally eat paper and it wouldn’t matter.
@@helenkmera yes but I would look for a carnivore doctor that focuses on that. I forgot which of the youtuber ones that is. In short, you can also worsen kidneys if you do it wrong like high protein low fat.
Very funny comment. Yeah she certainly leverages her Asian beauty, and she is an astute businesswoman. I don’t watch her channel because I tend to avoid influencers that attract clicks and subscribers through sexiness. Grumpy old man? Perhaps. I chose to support quality content that is devoid of clickbait. Ps. I should mention that I greatly respect her for covering the less than sexy body function issues of menstruating and bowel movements. She could say nothing and not risk loosing a few subscribers. But she bravely goes there. Good on you girl 🤨
I started Carnivore at 355 pounds, the desired American diet results. I see people that size shopping regularly. I often pooped once in 7-10 days. I burned the rest instead of storing it for a rainy day. I lost 100 lbs in 6 months while never being hungry. I ended up healthy at 168 pounds.
There is this book I recently finished reading its called The 21 Former Doctor Secrets, Its full of secrets about modern health industry and my routines started to change so much! I appreciate people like you and these good doctors!
The Steak and Butter Girl is absolutely the real deal. She is saving so many people’s health problems. I started the carnivore diet 5 months ago. It has cured me from : psoriasis, leg cramps, acid reflux, arthritis , I lost 17 pounds I sleep better, and it’s true - I only eat beef , butter Himalayan salt, eggs bacon, cheese, fish , I only have about 2 to 3 Trips to the bathroom a week.
@@ArchimedesTrajano I hear you but she just does that to earn a living. Most of us just ignore her commercials. Dr Eric Berg does the same thing which is why I stopped watching his channel. Dr Berg is more interested in selling us products then making us healthier. I agree that Dr Ken D Berry is a great channel. I also like Dr Sean Baker and Dr Anthony Chaffee.
@@tomlaureys1734If we're going to supplement I would trust Dr. Bergs ingredients are top notch compared to most other supplement companies out there seeking to profit without providing beneficial results. Dr Berg has always been results oriented and I saw his health improve over the years on youtube videos from the beginning. Many of us are learning and benefitting from his expertise.
If humans can only secrete a days worth of bile, logically you can only convert so much fat into absorbable fatty acids. The rest is going straight through you surely? On that basis, looking at you poo can tell you that you if you are eating too much fat. However, as for what it does to your laying down fat, that will surely depend what you are using it for.
I am 14 weeks in. When I started I resolved NOT to go strict carnivore. My reasoning was that it was better for my body to ease into a new way of eating and I would avoid the discomfort of unpleasant reactions. I also intuitively thought that the cravings would go away in time so there was no need to “force” my body to comply before it was ready to do so. Later I discovered this channel that was in line with the way I was approaching carnivore. Now I have a name - carnivore ish! I very much like the way Dr Eric describes entering in through this door or through that door. And I agree that we need to be more flexible. I think some people quit carnivore because they believe it has to be “strict carnivore” or nothing and we know that is a misconception. I felt intuitively that it was possible to choose a more flexible “version” yet still achieve results. It is important that the path we are following is sustainable. Bottom line is that I am happy following my carnivore ish life style because I am achieving the results that make me healthier and happier.
I grew up eating rice, vegetables and meat for dinner with a piece of fruit at the end. My bathroom habits were very regular. As I learned to cook for my myself and my husband, I experimented with new recipes but substituted rice with pasta, potatoes and bread. No change in bathroom habits. Then I was reading about how to improve my diet by adding legumes. Boy, it caused a lot of bloating, gas and discomfort. The advocates of the legumes assured me not to worry because my digestive system would get used to digesting beans and the gas would go away. Nope! Three time a day during my lunch and coffee breaks I took a walk just to fart out as much gas as possible. Then I became pre-diabetic and attended Dr. Jason Fung’s metabolic clinic and changed to low carb and then keto. All the bloating went away and the poop became more solid, less in volume, and it came more infrequently. I feel a lot better now.
I went through a sort of legumes phase too years ago. With the legumes and vegetables, there was often a cloud of funk around me. I was always bloated and gassy. I could never go back to eating and feeling that way.
@@Jefe-qh8kd Not ignorant at all. I adopted low carb/keto specifically to lower my risk of developing DIABETES. It brought down my HbA1c from 6.6 mmol/L to 5.9 in 6 months. I also lost 20 lbs. and the gas. Thank you for responding.
As a Mexican I did not get used to beans. The only thing I could do to have less gas was soaking them for twelve hours before cooking the and rinsing them out two times in between. Way better but still not gas proof.
Nah I am not a bot. Humans just love justification for their bad choices and what taste good to their Palate. Low fat plant based is the only way to cure disease!
My father, who is 78 and has Parkinson's, was just told by his doctor that there might be something to the carnivore diet, so try it. Obviously, the pills aren't helping him other than making the medical society rich. Need more honest doctors about health. Thank you.
Carnivore is great for providing nutrients, and the site doctoryourself says Parkinson's is greatly helped by supplementing certain nutrients. Many other health issues are also on the site, along with nutrients that address them.
@@vanessagough3247 doctor only just told him. To many years of bad diet, habits and medicine. He doesn't have the discipline or mind set to make a change. And I won't lecture people anymore. My family doesn't even like my carnivore diet. Very lonely but satisfying lifestyle wish I did it sooner. We are all being deceived. In God I Trust. Never alone with Him by your side.
I stopped giving my pug kibble 4 years ago. They are known as 'gassy' dogs, and he was, but since giving him meat and eggs his bowels are fantastic. His coat is glossy and he's full of life.
Well naturally since dogs are pure carnivores anyway and cant process the grain based kibble. I have heard myself of dogs being put on all meat diets and old arthritic dogs fairly quickly lose the health issues, gain a lot more energy and add years to their life. Give that pug a big smooch for me eh?
@@shanlando88 I get my dog food from a specialist raw dog meat supplier. They are frozen, then you defrost them and serve. He only has raw meat; lamb, turkey, beef, tripe, chicken. They weigh your dog, then calculate exactly how much meat they need and how often they should be fed. Most cities have them now, and the owners are usually very knowledgable and passionate about animal nutrition and health. If you don'y have access to such a shop, there are lots of specialist dog nutritionists online who can help you to make your own. I'm in the UK.
@@RuggedCross1 Haha I will. I only ever supplements his diet with kibble, but that stuff was killing him. He was puffed out on walks and really grumpy when he ate grains.
I went carnivore because my MS symptoms were worsening, and within four months I can already see a difference. My MS isn't gone, but after 120 days, my worst days now are about like my best days were before I started. For anyone with an autoimmune issue, this is a godsend!
Most autoimmune conditions are thought to start with gut permeability. Lectins are thought to play a role in this. If you want the most out of the carnivore diet, you may want to opt for the wording of 100% grass fed or grass fed/grass finished on beef products or pasture raised on chickens or eggs. If animals are eating grain, even if it's organic, their meat can contain lectins.
Great comment. Highlighting WHY it is great and works for you rather than assuming that some perfectly healthy person with no issues or bad eating habits should switch to carnivore for no apparent reason
No, your wrong, people with autoimmune disease have a permeable gut. That means cows proteins seep into your bloodstream causing huge problems such as type 1 diabetes. If I eat alot of meat or go 100% carnivore I'll die and or at least acquire huge damage and uncurable diseases. A permeable gut means were an open door, would I really want a dead carcass inside my bloodstream? I don't think so.
I started carnivore about a month ago. Loving it. Lost so much weight. I was at 199 lbs on May 29, 2024. I started carnivore on June 26. I'm now at 180 ibs. Strick carnivore. Cold turkey. Beef, butter, bacon, and eggs. Fish or shrimp cooked in butter when I don't feel like eating steaks. Now, I'm eating between 1 or .5 meals a day. Often times, 1 meal a day. I have arthritis but now, the pain is not so bad. There are long stretches were I don't have pain for several days instead of daily.
Dr. Eric, as a woman, every single time I've had a weight loss plateau, eating more fat like a BIG chunk o butter with each of my meals launched me into more weight loss, and made my periods regular and painless. I think women and men work differently and the fear of saturated fats needs some hard beating on the noggin for many :)
Well done. My story is different I plateaued almost for 11 months, I did the opposite I cut back on my fat and finally fat is coming off. I was following Dr Elizabeth bright and felt great but weight loss just stalled forever then I tried cutting back,and it started to fall down like a pack of cards. Every body is different. ❤
Switching to carnivore over 3 years ago was the BEST decision I’ve ever made regarding my health. I’m in my mid 50s and feel like I did in my 20s. I take zero meds. I’ll never go back to eating any other way.
I'm blown away, I've only started 6 days ago and the stiffness is gone. It's crazy how fast I started just FEELING better. I'm 45 and work in a hospital where one of our ED docs was telling me all about it and gave me a list of youtube videos to watch. So I decided to give it 2 weeks to see if it's something I could stick to. It is limiting food wise but omgosh this good feeling and no stiffness and even my mood is better, I'm already hooked and motivated.
Carnivore for 6 months now. This has completely changed my life. I was at 337lbs when starting, as of this morning 245lbs. Feeling better than I have in 20 years. Sustainable, that's the key.
Coming up on 4 years carnivore. Love it. Don’t place any restrictions on myself as far as eating things other than meat, but the longer I go, the less I even want anything else. Poop once a day and no issues. No fiber the entire time. I say, find what works for you, but eat real food for sure. Steak and Butter Gal came from very malnourished though and is very open about it. Different than diabetic and needing to lose fat. Have to work with your situation, not anyone else’s.
I'm thankful for this video. Too often people with valuable information are being attacked in social media, presumably by those whose personal benefits are at risk. It's nice to have someone offer a reasonable and reasoned response.
I have a sneaking suspicion that folks panic when they learn about this lifestyle. They refuse to accept it and hope to God that it isn’t true. If they make enough of a fuss then it all may just go away and they don’t have to give up the pizza and donuts. Food that creates a false sense of reward and comfort. It’s anger that lashes out at steak and butter girl and others like her. It is darkest before the dawn and most people do not want to suffer in making the right nutrition choices but they suffer in the long run as health breaks down.
I personally never eat pizza and donuts. I only drink black coffee and water and I’m not joking. Most my protein is from meat and Greek yogurt. Love veggies love carbs. 44, lift everyday, work 10 hours of construction. Six pack tons of strength. Young guys in the gym wanting my physique…. On and on. I never had eating problems and never had health issues… why on earth would I be scared because some person was in such a state of decline that they had to switch to an extreme diet of strictly meat…. Ludicrous lol. And people are living to around 90 in my family… 😂 gtfoh If it works for you, GREAT!
@@samueldavis5895congratulations, the comment wasn’t about you at all. If you don’t see any reason to change your way of eating, then it’s your body to damage or care for as you see fit, and none of us really care what you decide to do with your own health. The comment was about the people who simply refuse to accept the fact that anyone even follows a carnivore diet, let alone that they experienced any sort of benefit from it.
I'm 3 weeks and 2 days into carnivore | poop twice a week | stopped taking omeprazole 10mg (twice daily) | my teeth feel stronger(chewing food was a bit difficult/sensitive prior) | my dandruff is gone | better energy | I quit regular food cold turkey and have always preferred meat over fruit n veggies. so this way of eating was a pleasant surprise for me
I was Keto for a few years and now I've been carnivore for about 7 months. I absolutely love this lifestyle! I eat plenty of beef, eggs, and butter! Some days I treat myself and have raw cheese, goat cheese or Kafir. This way of eating has cured many issues for me like leaky gut, GERD,etc. I also LOVE coffee and YES I still drink it.
Carnivore since October 2023. 49 years old. I was lean and in shape before. Since starting carnivore dropped 2 waist sizes, have even more pronounced muscular definition, and my energy levels are way improved! Haven’t given up coffee. Once you experience it…you open your eyes and understand how much you’ve been lied to your entire life. No meds for me. So many friends my age medicating themselves to death…
@@BM-7888 hey there. I’m 6’3 and 195 lbs. I eat 2 times per day, and it’s to satiety. 1st meal is usually 1 lb. of ground beef with a slice or two of cheese and a cup of coffee or 6 to 7 eggs with 6 to 7 strips of thick bacon. I tend to cook both with either butter or bacon grease. 2nd meal is typically a pound or so of NY strip or ribeye and 3 to 4 eggs or 3 to 4 strips of bacon. Some days I am hungrier than others…depends on whether I lift weights / train Jiu-Jitsu or just have a day with not much physical activity.
I’ve been doing Carnivore for almost 4 months and have lost almost 20 lbs. I go almost everyday without any issues. I thought my period disappeared 7 years ago bc of my birth control but after 3 weeks of going Carnivore it came back like I was 20 years old again. My joints no longer ache. I have a lot more energy and need less sleep. I almost never crave sugar and even when I rarely do it’s not that bad. I do still drink coffee w/cream and I use seasoning bc it doesn’t affect me. This was the best decision I’ve ever made.
Home Made Electrolyte Mix. Yes about $20 to get started but you can make enough of this stuff to last a year. - 1 cup Salt Pure salt, such as sea salt, with no additives, such as anti-caking agents. - 4 tsp Potassium Chloride powder One brand of this ingredient is sold under the name "Nu-Salt - 3 capsules Magnesium glycinate powder This ingredient is available in the vitamin section at most grocery stores or pharmacies. Combine all ingredients. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of the electrolyte powder with 32 ounces of water. I find it is not a problem drinking it straight. However you can add flavoring and lo-carb sweeteners.
Please, don't associate Trump and Carnivore. One is about being healthy and the other is a political view. They have 0 things in common. I could never support Trump just because of his insane standpoint on Ukraine.
I'm going to see Dr. Westman next week - been waiting for this appointment since March! I am grateful for this opportunity but so, so nervous about switching to keto.
You're so lucky lol....I hope you get a lot out of it 💪 I'm eating carnivore but I love keto! It's so relaxing and fulfilling to be satiated and not craving snax all the time
Congratulations! Don't be nervous, you can do this! I gradually went from keto in Oct '23 to carnivore Jan '24 as I still felt I reacted GI wise to some foods. Carnivore is simpler. No counting carbs, less time in the kitchen, less time shopping. Give it a whirl. Hang out in all the low carb/keto/carnivore spaces. Bring your brain around to the thought that what you eat should be for nutrition, not entertainment. All the best.
It is easy. Don't try and complicate it, don't try and substitute all the so called keto products. Just keep it simple- meat/fish/eggs/bacon/ butter/olive and avocado oil and non starchy veg. Plus, make sure you read every label and cook your own food. I went down two dress sizes on keto and another size when I went carnivore. Oh yes, you will need the electrolytes. First world problems are having to buy new clothes and shoes, lol. Good luck
My IBS symptoms- constipation, bloating, gas, and inflammation, was resolved 💯 on day 4 of Carnivore. After suffering for years Carnivore healed me immediately. I am on month 3 of Carnivore and I am still going strong 💪🏼. I have now eliminated most of my menopause symptoms, depression, anxiety, brain fog. I feel amazing!
@@veronicahaupt6760 none! All my symptoms have resolved. Including the excruciating arthritis I developed in my hips. I could barely move. It’s all gone! I am so grateful and over the moon.
Thank you for your sound minded video. I gave the Carnivore food plan a 90 day trial….that was two years ago, and I decided to continue. I do drink a European size (large) cup of morning coffee with a scoop of flavored Collagen, whole cream, cinnamon, and Splenda. My find for satisfying a bit of crunch is pork rinds with sour cream..no carbs. Eggs, butter, some cheese two or three times a week, rib eye steak, and angus beef patties are the daily menu. Occasionally, I will indulge in spare ribs with a small amount of barbecue sauce. Not as strict a Carnivore as some, but I have had a successful weight loss, cleared brain fog, muscle strength increase, lowered blood pressure, no flatulence, no bloat, no indigestion, and other improvements, especially, generally peaceful moods…no anxiety, depression only a small normal amount for a recent widow. I am a Christian, and can honestly say that finding this way of eating has been a Godsend, and a blessing for me….
Hard to get papers on these kind of diets when the industry hasn't figured out how to make money off of it. There is way too much money in pills to advocate real dietary solutions.
I switched my 2 year old puppy to a carnivore diet , his skin rashes gone in 2 weeks, lost 4 lbs, and went form pooping 3-4 giant poops a day to 1 small one.
I'm from country with pretty expensive meat. So I made my dog intermittent fast. He gets dog food every other day how much he wants. And he healed his joint rash. He was always trying bite it off.
@@happycamper9421 yea noticeable difference he is also stronger tugging , and always licks his bowl clean. I bulk buy what’s on sales and cook twice a week for him in a crock pot, I also give him can of sardines and can of mackerel once a week
I had the same experience with my lab and chihuahua. Both of them lost their eczema and hot spots, the lab lost her arthritis symptoms, both of them improved in behavior, energy level and attention.
Didn't realize she's been eating this way for 5.5 yrs~ seems like it was just a couple yrs ago that she started her channel, & for some reason I thought it was shortly after she changed her diet. My, how time flies =) Glad she's developed a thick enough skin to endure the vitriol out there, since there seems to be no shortage. Always appreciate your reaction posts Dr. Westman, & respect your work a great deal. Such a clear, calm & rational explanation of these topics. Thank you.
I’ve also done the carnivore diet and felt truly amazing. Fell off in the summer as I traveled to Poland & my belly hurt and was bloated so badly. My joints which eased up so much on carnivore began hurting again. It was horrible. Also. I should add. When people take their dogs off kibble & place them on a raw meat only diet they also poop a lot less.
I agree, Troll farms are real. I work in the stock markets and they are infested with AI trolls. 90% of the time we are not dealing with a human being but with a AI algorithm.
@SwazersC I'm kind of confused about what you are saying...Excuse the ignorance. When you say 90% of the time we are not dealing with a human being," Are you talking about what's in the comment sections of videos? That the comments are not real?
@@girlygirl1890I don’t think all but perhaps lots!😑 I’m not AI Maybe if you check the UA-cam info of the person who’s commenting, might get hints if they’re real or AI Just my thoughts 💭 Im no expert 😅
Thank you for reviewing this video because I didn't watch it mainly because it seemed to be just click bait. I'm sure it is difficult for someone so young to be trolled so heavily. As most in the carnivore community are. Thanks as always Dr Westman.
I've never pooped more than two or three times a week, no matter what I ate. Still alive. Definitely pooping less eating only meat. There actually was a big study in the UK and they found there was basically no correlation between bowel frequency and colorectal or anal cancer, except in one case; pooping too often was indicative of having colorectal cancer. The whole "meat rots in your colon" thing always sounded like BS to me. And it is.
I started Carnivore diet 3 weeks ago. Today I cut my blood pressure med of Bystolic in half from 10mg to 5mg. I expect to drop the meds all together soon.
So far for me -13 weeks carnivore - I didn’t do keto because I wanted to greatly reduce joint inflammation and pain and had to get rid of all oxalates and nightshades. My walking has greatly improved, my joints are 90% better, my sleep is better and I lost 23 pounds. I still have coffee and cream and now am beginning to weight lift. I have more weight to lose and sometimes I am tired but the electrolytes and butter help. I like Bella but I have heard some critics on her priming technique so I just disregard what her group says about that.
I’m at the airport now. Wore a pair of nice slacks and a leather belt. After 10+ weeks on carnivore my pants almost fell down when I passed through security without my belt, which isn’t tight enough anymore.
Steak and Butter Gal is great, helps a lot of people. I started Carnivore 16 months ago, Healed my Type 1 Diabetes, Healed my Blood Pressure (averaging 165/80) down to 127/80 and lost 40 pounds as a benefit. I cannot be more thankful and grateful to all the coaches and carnivore doctors helping those of us where the AMA HAS FAILED miserably with their drugs, statins and cholesterol crap under big pharma and 50 year old outdated research. I am so blessed to have these coaches and doctors who work with Carnivore Lifestyle and share their experience and knowledge. BOO to any doctor that says otherwise.
I did a keto diet for 7 weeks and then carnivore for 30 days. It has been 25 years since I felt as good. I do go to gym regularly but, during that period I lost 6kg could do 10 pull-ups again and lost no strength in any of my resistance exercise. I had both hips replaced in 2013 and 2014 and hadn’t run since c2000. On February this year, after c25 days into carnivore, I did 70 minutes of weights including 3 sets of 20reps with 140kg. An hour later I ran six miles through woodland and felt good. I concede it could be placebo but who cares if you feel this good. From a 62 year old professional physiologist who had a heart attack in 2007.
Month into my new diet. I'd call it a ketovore diet. Watched your videos and others. Really did not do it to lose weight although I have lost 12 pounds. I am not overweight (I am 6'2 183 lbs).I did it more for the health benefits. My wife has just started a keto diet. She definitely does not need to lose weight but I suspect she will initially. Keep up the good work!
I’m just going to be blunt. I’ve been on the carnivore diet for two years, two years on keto before that, and I LOVE that I poop less and less often. I LOVE that it doesn’t smell. I LOVE that it slides out easy. I LOVE that I don’t have gas and smelly farts. I LOVE that my teeth always feel clean and smooth instead of covered with scum (unless I have a little cheat day and eat some carbs and the scum comes right back). These and many more “side effects” of the carnivore lifestyle are the bonuses of achieving great health, weight control and muscle strength. And great blood work too of course!! 65 yo🤸♀️🏇🚴♀️🏕️🏋️♀️
I’ve been missing my entire large intestine and only have 1/3 my small intestine. I find 80-100g of protein, low carb, low fat works for me. But consistency is challenging. I’ll get there.
Was physically almost completely bedridden, major car accidents, autoimmune deficiencies mental fog, fatigue, arthritis, doing carnivore changed everything about my health mental and physical. If you have questions stop debating or thinking about it,,Just do a 30-day trial you will know yourself, you can always go back to your misery 🙏
Great videos Dr. Westman. I appreciate your intelligence and your pleasant, bedside, non-hysterical manner. I discovered you just a few weeks ago and I am trying to catch up on all your videos. Thank you.
I like watching a bit of steak and butter girl. She isn't lying. Lots of crazy sounding stuff to anyone addicted to having something sweet in their mouth all day but the more you try it the more you see.
It sure helps me. I also use cream of tartar (potassium). When I don't take these I end up waking up hearing my heart palpitations due to electrolyte imbalances. I hate having the "I'm having a heart attack at 3am let me get up and Google the whole internet with my symptom and further freak myself out" syndrome😭
This carnivore stuff is life changing. Two months exactly into it and I have reversed pre diabetes. My husband lost 12 lbs. and this was only both three weeks into the diet. Thank you both for what you do❤
I found Bella a few months ago. I started doing carnivore and I've lost over 20 pounds and cured my hypoglycemia. My skin looks good and my mood has improved a lot.
Thankyou for your balanced and informative approach. Hard to find in this diet space where there is so much fear mongering,dogma, shaming and echo chambers. You speak with a lot of reason and calm rationality - Thankyou
Been carnivore now for about 4 months and I did follow Bella's butter diet idea. I did about half a stick to one stick of Kerrygold salted butter when I had the urge to eat a snack,in place of stuff like cheese, and I felt better when doing that. I have not had added sugar in my diet, other than store bought bacon, for about a year. I honestly feel great!!
Dr Benjamin Bikman and Dr Robert Lustig point out that PCOS are most often greatly improved when people fixed their insulin tesistance (which tend to be present long before the bloodglucose start to be in pre-fiabetes range).

I've been on the Lion Diet for 7 months now. I have better energy with increased fat:protein ratio. I experience horrendous muscle cramps despite drinking plenty of water. Salt doesn't help me, but 600 milligrams of potassium does. Each body is unique in its needs.
Get some spray magnesium oil. Do a few sprays on your tummy in the am and a few spays your calves at night and rub in. Some people spray on their feet. It has donewonders for me.
@yah9489 I've tried magnesium oils, and plenty of it! However, it is not magnesium my body lacks - it's potassium. So, the multitudes of magnesium I've tried, topicals and otherwise, did not provide relief.
My worst binge was 2 pizzas, 3 packs of crazy bread, and 2 liters of diet soda 10k calories. Carnivore has made me never want to binge, and only occasionally snack.
I think the key, and where carnivore and "keto" people should agree, is that low carb / high fat is the healthiest diet for humans. I prefer saturated fat from animals, but others may prefer poly or mono unsaturated fat from plants. Either way though, we don't need a lot of carbs to survive and thrive and we do need lots of protein and fat. It's that simple really, for me carnivore fits my needs perfect. My story is that I am 46 years old and a former competitive powerlifter. My old doctor, I fired her, saw that my blood work was very high for total cholesterol (only 204 lol) and immediately wanted me on statins. Everything else was in range (I don't agree with the ranges). I told her I wanted to try diet first, she said I needed to do Mediterranean diet. I was reluctant as I have ditched grains a long time ago and went keto nearly a decade ago but have been slacking since I quit competing. Anyway, after a lot of research I decided to go carnivore because it was advantageous for me to eat meat to get my protein needs (over 200g a day) and not have to eat for hours at a time. Plus we raise chickens so I have more eggs than a family can eat every day. Long story short, I feel awesome and have really never been stronger. All my chronic joint pain from years of powerlifting is completely gone, I had bad skin allergies and those are all gone too. In the past, if I so much as touched something new I would break out in hives. I don't even seem to get sunburns anymore which is so odd to me. I am so strong now I may actually compete again and I thought those days were long past me. My wife even ditched Wegovy and is kind of doing ketovore now. Every now and again I have some pineapple or fruit, but only for a treat because I want too not for health reasons. Blood work is great if you go by the new paradigm of HDL/Triglycerides and not worry so much about total cholesterol and LDL. I would say, anyone curious give it a try for 3 months and see what happens. It's not restrictive like people say, I eat everything I want to eat. I just don't want to eat plants and sugar, everything else is on the table. Forcing me to eat plants that taste bad is more restrictive imo.
I don’t follow or care about her naked thumbnail but my husband and I’ve been on steak, eggs, butter and avocado for about nine months. Our pooping have been beautiful. No more nasty flatulence and cramping. Oh, besides losing weight and lowering A1c, my latest eye test was good. According to the eye doc, my eye sight is better by 2 points. Bad news…needed new pair of glasses. 😂
I'm 56 and Carnivore healed my irritable bowel syndrome and I lost 30 lbs in just a few months. My psoriasis hasn't flared up in over a year. My joints and muscles feel better with no more aches and pains. I will never eat carbs again. I eat sticks of butter too. 😁
Been Carnivore for 7 months now, I was healthy before, and wasn't eating ANY processed foods before, but at the time consumed only whole foods, with 70% of my plate being carbs and salad. I am healthier and sharper now, with more muscle mass building. I poop the same as before, regular as clockwork 30 mins after waking up. So no difference for me there in the back end, regardless of diet. My 2c. Other things to consider: I have quite rigid times for sleep, due to my work (farming community). I'm in bed and asleep by 20h00, occasionally slightly earlier, and wake up at 4h00 like clockwork. Sometimes perhaps 15 mins early. Perhaps this helps with regularity on the toilet. One's body, after all, likes predictability. I love your level-headed videos, Dr. Westman!

I'm new to the carnivore world and have only been on it a couple of months. I am happy with the results so far. I have lost a little bit of weight though I wasn't trying to, nor did I want to, it just happened. I had to increase what I was eating. It is true that you poop less. I'm down to 2 maybe 3 times a week and the volume has been reduced by at least 75% and as high as 90%.
Doctor, you are truly awesome. Humble and light-hearted in clarifying what SBDal says. I follow her and I'm 69 living without eczema for a year but carrying the burns from the eczema attacks, Wish I had known this fourteen years ago. Thanks Doctor.
Today was day 21 and i have lost 27 lbs. My energy is through the roof and i havent felt this good in probably 10 years. No more lower back pain or foot pain. The benefits just keep coming, though i realy miss eating fruit and drinking orange juice. 😢
Thank you for doing this type of video. I switched my diet 5 years ago to a keto style diet. I did the low inflammatory diet with no seed oils. It worked great. I was off insulin in 3 months, and resolved type 2 diabetes in 6 months, 8.2 A1C to 4.7. I also reversed kidney disease, acid reflux and most importantly I put arthritis in remission, which meant I could walk again. I have maintained the diet for the last 5 years, switching to carnivore 16 months ago. It appears the consensus of fiber being healthy is wrong. I was constipated most of my life with suggestions from doctors to increase fiber. Once I removed all fiber, the constipation went away. There appears to be a real issue with the medical community is accepting the scientific evidence available. I suggest everyone do their own research, because depenging on others (medical professionals) may mislead you to more healh problems.
I am new here, and new to the Carnivore diet as of October 1. I have lost 7 pounds in the first 3 days! So far, so good. I am pleased to have found you!
I was always a freak to my ex husband because I only pooped 1 or 2 times a week, and that was 'before' my carnivore journey. It was always 'normal' for me, so I can't understand why we're all expected to be robots and go daily. On carnivore I'm regular at once every 8 to 10 days...not stomach issues and I feel amazing!
Excelente comparison with trash Dr. Westman! The less trash to throw away the better. That was the best thing I experienced the first week after starting carnivore. The improvement overall in my digestive system.
As soon (few hours later) as I eat some fruit my belly starts looking like a ball. And if I eat high oxilates fruit my face skin becomes inflamed.. small red bulges.
@@ianstuart5660 Like what? That I look like a ball or that I have red bulges on the face? Of course I don't like it. :) The main issue for me is that 10 years ago I had sever stress for 6 months and I've damaged my gut.. got leaky gut. And as I didn't do anythnig at that time I'm alergic to everything now. So for me there is no other way then to be on Lion diet for some time, so that my gut heals. For the fruit I love them.. but I would rather be healthy then eat forbiden fruit. ;)
Been carnivore for over 4 years now and feeling great. My knees are in very bad shape and eating carbs puts me in a great deal of pain. I was sure I was heading toward a wheelchair situation before I started. When I switched to keto, I lost weight, but my knees still gave me problems. Switched to carnivore and I can walk again.

I switched my dog to carnivore. No more TDF !!!!
TDF = Toxic Dog Farts.
LOL I had a Chihuahua that had the worst toxic dog farts I have ever experienced. What was so funny is he would always watch us run out of the room and he would smell it himself and try to run but that is in a way futile. NGL he one day farted and me and my GF ran out of the room and he chased us and then we saw him actually figure it out and he started barking at his poop hole. from that day forward this dang dog would lay some gas out and then start growling and then would stare at his tail and for next five minutes he would attack his own butt with ferocity! He hated it so bad that thank God his body prevented his mouth from reaching his anus or all hell would of broke loose!

I started Carnivore at 355 pounds, the desired American diet results. I see people that size shopping regularly. I often pooped once in 7-10 days. I burned the rest instead of storing it for a rainy day. I lost 100 lbs in 6 months while never being hungry. I ended up healthy at 168 pounds.

No it doesn't❤ however I do need to limit it somewhat to lose the excess weight. I guess we're not all the same❤
But has tendency to make you skinny fat, if you don't eat protein
That is not an entirely true statement and is much more nuanced than that.
If humans can only secrete a days worth of bile, logically you can only convert so much fat into absorbable fatty acids. The rest is going straight through you surely? On that basis, looking at you poo can tell you that you if you are eating too much fat. However, as for what it does to your laying down fat, that will surely depend what you are using it for.

What about when we get diarrhoea from carnivore ?
I am 14 weeks in. When I started I resolved NOT to go strict carnivore. My reasoning was that it was better for my body to ease into a new way of eating and I would avoid the discomfort of unpleasant reactions. I also intuitively thought that the cravings would go away in time so there was no need to “force” my body to comply before it was ready to do so.
Later I discovered this channel that was in line with the way I was approaching carnivore.
Now I have a name - carnivore ish!
I very much like the way Dr Eric describes entering in through this door or through that door. And I agree that we need to be more flexible. I think some people quit carnivore because they believe it has to be “strict carnivore” or nothing and we know that is a misconception.
I felt intuitively that it was possible to choose a more flexible “version” yet still achieve results.
It is important that the path we are following is sustainable.
Bottom line is that I am happy following my carnivore ish life style because I am achieving the results that make me healthier and happier.
I grew up eating rice, vegetables and meat for dinner with a piece of fruit at the end. My bathroom habits were very regular. As I learned to cook for my myself and my husband, I experimented with new recipes but substituted rice with pasta, potatoes and bread. No change in bathroom habits. Then I was reading about how to improve my diet by adding legumes. Boy, it caused a lot of bloating, gas and discomfort. The advocates of the legumes assured me not to worry because my digestive system would get used to digesting beans and the gas would go away. Nope! Three time a day during my lunch and coffee breaks I took a walk just to fart out as much gas as possible. Then I became pre-diabetic and attended Dr. Jason Fung’s metabolic clinic and changed to low carb and then keto. All the bloating went away and the poop became more solid, less in volume, and it came more infrequently. I feel a lot better now.
I went through a sort of legumes phase too years ago. With the legumes and vegetables, there was often a cloud of funk around me. I was always bloated and gassy. I could never go back to eating and feeling that way.
So, you were fine until you added beans...then you eliminated all the other stuff that was working, instead of just the beans. How ignorant.
@@Jefe-qh8kd Not ignorant at all. I adopted low carb/keto specifically to lower my risk of developing DIABETES. It brought down my HbA1c from 6.6 mmol/L to 5.9 in 6 months. I also lost 20 lbs. and the gas. Thank you for responding.
As a Mexican I did not get used to beans. The only thing I could do to have less gas was soaking them for twelve hours before cooking the and rinsing them out two times in between. Way better but still not gas proof.

@@shanlando88 I get my dog food from a specialist raw dog meat supplier. They are frozen, then you defrost them and serve. He only has raw meat; lamb, turkey, beef, tripe, chicken.

Most cities have them now, and the owners are usually very knowledgable and passionate about animal nutrition and health. If you don'y have access to such a shop, there are lots of specialist dog nutritionists online who can help you to make your own. I'm in the UK.

I went carnivore because my MS symptoms were worsening, and within four months I can already see a difference. My MS isn't gone, but after 120 days, my worst days now are about like my best days were before I started. For anyone with an autoimmune issue, this is a godsend!
Most autoimmune conditions are thought to start with gut permeability. Lectins are thought to play a role in this. If you want the most out of the carnivore diet, you may want to opt for the wording of 100% grass fed or grass fed/grass finished on beef products or pasture raised on chickens or eggs. If animals are eating grain, even if it's organic, their meat can contain lectins.
Great comment. Highlighting WHY it is great and works for you rather than assuming that some perfectly healthy person with no issues or bad eating habits should switch to carnivore for no apparent reason
Christina Applegate should give this diet a try!
No, your wrong, people with autoimmune disease have a permeable gut. That means cows proteins seep into your bloodstream causing huge problems such as type 1 diabetes. If I eat alot of meat or go 100% carnivore I'll die and or at least acquire huge damage and uncurable diseases. A permeable gut means were an open door, would I really want a dead carcass inside my bloodstream? I don't think so.

Beef, butter, bacon, and eggs. Fish or shrimp cooked in butter when I don't feel like eating steaks. Now, I'm eating between 1 or .5 meals a day. Often times, 1 meal a day.

been carnivore for 4 years as well, i poop every other day and when I do go #2, it's only a smidge of poop. 🙃
I'm thankful for this video. Too often people with valuable information are being attacked in social media, presumably by those whose personal benefits are at risk. It's nice to have someone offer a reasonable and reasoned response.
I have a sneaking suspicion that folks panic when they learn about this lifestyle. They refuse to accept it and hope to God that it isn’t true. If they make enough of a fuss then it all may just go away and they don’t have to give up the pizza and donuts. Food that creates a false sense of reward and comfort. It’s anger that lashes out at steak and butter girl and others like her. It is darkest before the dawn and most people do not want to suffer in making the right nutrition choices but they suffer in the long run as health breaks down.
Spot on
I personally never eat pizza and donuts. I only drink black coffee and water and I’m not joking. Most my protein is from meat and Greek yogurt. Love veggies love carbs. 44, lift everyday, work 10 hours of construction. Six pack tons of strength. Young guys in the gym wanting my physique…. On and on.
I never had eating problems and never had health issues… why on earth would I be scared because some person was in such a state of decline that they had to switch to an extreme diet of strictly meat…. Ludicrous lol. And people are living to around 90 in my family… 😂 gtfoh
If it works for you, GREAT!
@@samueldavis5895congratulations, the comment wasn’t about you at all. If you don’t see any reason to change your way of eating, then it’s your body to damage or care for as you see fit, and none of us really care what you decide to do with your own health. The comment was about the people who simply refuse to accept the fact that anyone even follows a carnivore diet, let alone that they experienced any sort of benefit from it.
I guess the same group of people also rail against fitness and going to the gym and talk about body positivity.
So true!! It's the sugar addict inside of us talking.
I'm 3 weeks and 2 days into carnivore | poop twice a week | stopped taking omeprazole 10mg (twice daily) | my teeth feel stronger(chewing food was a bit difficult/sensitive prior) | my dandruff is gone | better energy | I quit regular food cold turkey and have always preferred meat over fruit n veggies. so this way of eating was a pleasant surprise for me
I was Keto for a few years and now I've been carnivore for about 7 months. I absolutely love this lifestyle! I eat plenty of beef, eggs, and butter! Some days I treat myself and have raw cheese, goat cheese or Kafir. This way of eating has cured many issues for me like leaky gut, GERD,etc. I also LOVE coffee and YES I still drink it.
You literally eat exactly what I eat! I went from vegan to carnivore ( I'm 6 weeks in) and it is absolutely amazing
Do you drink your coffee just straight up black? Or do you add anything else to it?
Carnivore since October 2023. 49 years old. I was lean and in shape before. Since starting carnivore dropped 2 waist sizes, have even more pronounced muscular definition, and my energy levels are way improved! Haven’t given up coffee. Once you experience it…you open your eyes and understand how much you’ve been lied to your entire life. No meds for me. So many friends my age medicating themselves to death…
What do you eat and how much/ how often?
Thank you ✨
Ok. Plenty of non carnivore healthy people with better physique
@@BM-7888 hey there. I’m 6’3 and 195 lbs. I eat 2 times per day, and it’s to satiety. 1st meal is usually 1 lb. of ground beef with a slice or two of cheese and a cup of coffee or 6 to 7 eggs with 6 to 7 strips of thick bacon. I tend to cook both with either butter or bacon grease. 2nd meal is typically a pound or so of NY strip or ribeye and 3 to 4 eggs or 3 to 4 strips of bacon. Some days I am hungrier than others…depends on whether I lift weights / train Jiu-Jitsu or just have a day with not much physical activity.
@@TheStarwolf01sounds delicious !! I add basil and oregano to my steaks sooo good!
@@willcook403 will give it a shot. Typically just doing salt BUT spices / seasonings seem to agree with me just fine.
I’ve been doing Carnivore for almost 4 months and have lost almost 20 lbs. I go almost everyday without any issues. I thought my period disappeared 7 years ago bc of my birth control but after 3 weeks of going Carnivore it came back like I was 20 years old again. My joints no longer ache. I have a lot more energy and need less sleep. I almost never crave sugar and even when I rarely do it’s not that bad. I do still drink coffee w/cream and I use seasoning bc it doesn’t affect me. This was the best decision I’ve ever made.
May I ask, when did you start losing weight?
Do you exercise often?
Thank you✨
Home Made Electrolyte Mix. Yes about $20 to get started but you can make enough of this stuff to last a year.
- 1 cup Salt Pure salt, such as sea salt, with no additives, such as anti-caking agents.
- 4 tsp Potassium Chloride powder One brand of this ingredient is sold under the name "Nu-Salt
- 3 capsules Magnesium glycinate powder This ingredient is available in the vitamin section at most grocery stores or pharmacies.
Combine all ingredients.
Mix 1/2 teaspoon of the electrolyte powder with 32 ounces of water.
I find it is not a problem drinking it straight. However you can add flavoring and lo-carb sweeteners.
Thank you !👍
Thanks
Been carnivore and a Trump support for almost 2 years. Never felt better and never been attacked so much ❤🇺🇸 Love y’all
❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Please, don't associate Trump and Carnivore. One is about being healthy and the other is a political view. They have 0 things in common.
I could never support Trump just because of his insane standpoint on Ukraine.
😀
Yep, me too, Trump supporter and Carnivore. Funny how someone on here decided to reply to you and prove your point. 😂😂😂
@@BabbsyJ I know right!? 🤣😂
I'm going to see Dr. Westman next week - been waiting for this appointment since March! I am grateful for this opportunity but so, so nervous about switching to keto.
You're so lucky lol....I hope you get a lot out of it 💪
I'm eating carnivore but I love keto! It's so relaxing and fulfilling to be satiated and not craving snax all the time
Congratulations! Don't be nervous, you can do this! I gradually went from keto in Oct '23 to carnivore Jan '24 as I still felt I reacted GI wise to some foods. Carnivore is simpler. No counting carbs, less time in the kitchen, less time shopping. Give it a whirl. Hang out in all the low carb/keto/carnivore spaces. Bring your brain around to the thought that what you eat should be for nutrition, not entertainment. All the best.
It is easy. Don't try and complicate it, don't try and substitute all the so called keto products. Just keep it simple- meat/fish/eggs/bacon/ butter/olive and avocado oil and non starchy veg. Plus, make sure you read every label and cook your own food. I went down two dress sizes on keto and another size when I went carnivore. Oh yes, you will need the electrolytes. First world problems are having to buy new clothes and shoes, lol. Good luck
@@ethelfitzjohn5151 unless you can sew :)
Give it a go…you won’t regret it. Try to get fat adapted which will take a few months….that’s when you really notice the benefits.
My IBS symptoms- constipation, bloating, gas, and inflammation, was resolved 💯 on day 4 of Carnivore. After suffering for years Carnivore healed me immediately. I am on month 3 of Carnivore and I am still going strong 💪🏼. I have now eliminated most of my menopause symptoms, depression, anxiety, brain fog. I feel amazing!
Do you still get any hot flushes? I'm battling with those 😢
@@veronicahaupt6760 none! All my symptoms have resolved. Including the excruciating arthritis I developed in my hips. I could barely move. It’s all gone! I am so grateful and over the moon.
Thank you for your sound minded video. I gave the Carnivore food plan a 90 day trial….that was two years ago, and I decided to continue. I do drink a European size (large) cup of morning coffee with a scoop of flavored Collagen, whole cream, cinnamon, and Splenda. My find for satisfying a bit of crunch is pork rinds with sour cream..no carbs. Eggs, butter, some cheese two or three times a week, rib eye steak, and angus beef patties are the daily menu. Occasionally, I will indulge in spare ribs with a small amount of barbecue sauce. Not as strict a Carnivore as some, but I have had a successful weight loss, cleared brain fog, muscle strength increase, lowered blood pressure, no flatulence, no bloat, no indigestion, and other improvements, especially, generally peaceful moods…no anxiety, depression only a small normal amount for a recent widow. I am a Christian, and can honestly say that finding this way of eating has been a Godsend, and a blessing for me….
Ditch the splenda, evil fake sugar, not good. Research.
Hard to get papers on these kind of diets when the industry hasn't figured out how to make money off of it. There is way too much money in pills to advocate real dietary solutions.
There will always be haters. Ignore them
You CANNOT ignore them. You must FIGHT them.
I switched my 2 year old puppy to a carnivore diet , his skin rashes gone in 2 weeks, lost 4 lbs, and went form pooping 3-4 giant poops a day to 1 small one.
recently switched my 16 year old dog to carnivore and she lost 1/2 pound (so far) and is more active - almost puppy-like at times
I'm from country with pretty expensive meat. So I made my dog intermittent fast. He gets dog food every other day how much he wants. And he healed his joint rash. He was always trying bite it off.
@@happycamper9421 yea noticeable difference he is also stronger tugging , and always licks his bowl clean. I bulk buy what’s on sales and cook twice a week for him in a crock pot, I also give him can of sardines and can of mackerel once a week
@@zperdek amazing
I had the same experience with my lab and chihuahua. Both of them lost their eczema and hot spots, the lab lost her arthritis symptoms, both of them improved in behavior, energy level and attention.
On carnivore for 5 weeks. I poop once a week. 20 years of Crohn's disease pooping 2 to 3 times every day. Praise God!
Please look into FODMAP if you haven't already, my mother suffered from IBS and it helped a lot. You do not need to limit your diet so much.
Goodluck on your carnivore journey! Wishing a quick healing from your Chron's
Didn't realize she's been eating this way for 5.5 yrs~ seems like it was just a couple yrs ago that she started her channel, & for some reason I thought it was shortly after she changed her diet. My, how time flies =) Glad she's developed a thick enough skin to endure the vitriol out there, since there seems to be no shortage.
Always appreciate your reaction posts Dr. Westman, & respect your work a great deal. Such a clear, calm & rational explanation of these topics. Thank you.
I’ve also done the carnivore diet and felt truly amazing. Fell off in the summer as I traveled to Poland & my belly hurt and was bloated so badly. My joints which eased up so much on carnivore began hurting again. It was horrible. Also. I should add. When people take their dogs off kibble & place them on a raw meat only diet they also poop a lot less.
Bella is so genuine and truly cares for the well being of others. Her message saved my life. Forever grateful
I agree, Troll farms are real. I work in the stock markets and they are infested with AI trolls. 90% of the time we are not dealing with a human being but with a AI algorithm.

@@BM-7888 ok. Thank you.
Thank you for reviewing this video because I didn't watch it mainly because it seemed to be just click bait. I'm sure it is difficult for someone so young to be trolled so heavily. As most in the carnivore community are. Thanks as always Dr Westman.
Good to see support from you Eric for others in this world ✔️
I've never pooped more than two or three times a week, no matter what I ate. Still alive. Definitely pooping less eating only meat. There actually was a big study in the UK and they found there was basically no correlation between bowel frequency and colorectal or anal cancer, except in one case; pooping too often was indicative of having colorectal cancer. The whole "meat rots in your colon" thing always sounded like BS to me. And it is.
Pooping more often is also linked with diverticulitis.
I started Carnivore diet 3 weeks ago. Today I cut my blood pressure med of Bystolic in half from 10mg to 5mg. I expect to drop the meds all together soon.
So far for me -13 weeks carnivore - I didn’t do keto because I wanted to greatly reduce joint inflammation and pain and had to get rid of all oxalates and nightshades. My walking has greatly improved, my joints are 90% better, my sleep is better and I lost 23 pounds.
I still have coffee and cream and now am beginning to weight lift.
I have more weight to lose and sometimes I am tired but the electrolytes and butter help.
I like Bella but I have heard some critics on her priming technique so I just disregard what her group says about that.
I’m at the airport now. Wore a pair of nice slacks and a leather belt. After 10+ weeks on carnivore my pants almost fell down when I passed through security without my belt, which isn’t tight enough anymore.
I had that problem. Had to buy all new clothes. Donated all my fat clothes
Great evidence 🎉
Follow up: I bought a new pair of jeans the other day, four inches smaller at the waist than the last time I bought jeans. Yay!
Since going carnivore two and a half years ago, I have no flatulence at all!
I noticed that just going low carbohydrate KETO 👌
No microbiome either?
@@mariad1151 it's a different microbiome. It adjusts to what you eat.

Steak and Butter Gal is great, helps a lot of people. I started Carnivore 16 months ago, Healed my Type 1 Diabetes, Healed my Blood Pressure (averaging 165/80) down to 127/80 and lost 40 pounds as a benefit. I cannot be more thankful and grateful to all the coaches and carnivore doctors helping those of us where the AMA HAS FAILED miserably with their drugs, statins and cholesterol crap under big pharma and 50 year old outdated research. I am so blessed to have these coaches and doctors who work with Carnivore Lifestyle and share their experience and knowledge. BOO to any doctor that says otherwise.
I did a keto diet for 7 weeks and then carnivore for 30 days. It has been 25 years since I felt as good. I do go to gym regularly but, during that period I lost 6kg could do 10 pull-ups again and lost no strength in any of my resistance exercise. I had both hips replaced in 2013 and 2014 and hadn’t run since c2000. On February this year, after c25 days into carnivore, I did 70 minutes of weights including 3 sets of 20reps with 140kg. An hour later I ran six miles through woodland and felt good. I concede it could be placebo but who cares if you feel this good. From a 62 year old professional physiologist who had a heart attack in 2007.
She isnt lying.
And none of us are.
Why would we.
Month into my new diet. I'd call it a ketovore diet. Watched your videos and others. Really did not do it to lose weight although I have lost 12 pounds. I am not overweight (I am 6'2 183 lbs).I did it more for the health benefits. My wife has just started a keto diet. She definitely does not need to lose weight but I suspect she will initially. Keep up the good work!
I’m just going to be blunt. I’ve been on the carnivore diet for two years, two years on keto before that, and I LOVE that I poop less and less often. I LOVE that it doesn’t smell. I LOVE that it slides out easy. I LOVE that I don’t have gas and smelly farts. I LOVE that my teeth always feel clean and smooth instead of covered with scum (unless I have a little cheat day and eat some carbs and the scum comes right back). These and many more “side effects” of the carnivore lifestyle are the bonuses of achieving great health, weight control and muscle strength. And great blood work too of course!! 65 yo🤸♀️🏇🚴♀️🏕️🏋️♀️
I’ve been missing my entire large intestine and only have 1/3 my small intestine. I find 80-100g of protein, low carb, low fat works for me. But consistency is challenging. I’ll get there.
Sounds very challenging. All best wishes!
❤❤
Be careful you don't develop rabbit starvation.
Was physically almost completely bedridden, major car accidents, autoimmune deficiencies mental fog, fatigue, arthritis, doing carnivore changed everything about my health mental and physical. If you have questions stop debating or thinking about it,,Just do a 30-day trial you will know yourself, you can always go back to your misery 🙏
Exactly, one yearns for a fruit on a tree should at least close the books, make an effort to raise his hand. Fruits are not in the books.
Great videos Dr. Westman. I appreciate your intelligence and your pleasant, bedside, non-hysterical manner. I discovered you just a few weeks ago and I am trying to catch up on all your videos. Thank you.
I like watching a bit of steak and butter girl. She isn't lying. Lots of crazy sounding stuff to anyone addicted to having something sweet in their mouth all day but the more you try it the more you see.
I'll just recommend a magnesium supplement at night. It will help with many issues.
It sure helps me. I also use cream of tartar (potassium). When I don't take these I end up waking up hearing my heart palpitations due to electrolyte imbalances.
I hate having the "I'm having a heart attack at 3am let me get up and Google the whole internet with my symptom and further freak myself out" syndrome😭
This carnivore stuff is life changing. Two months exactly into it and I have reversed pre diabetes. My husband lost 12 lbs. and this was only both three weeks into the diet. Thank you both for what you do❤
I found Bella a few months ago. I started doing carnivore and I've lost over 20 pounds and cured my hypoglycemia. My skin looks good and my mood has improved a lot.
Thankyou for your balanced and informative approach. Hard to find in this diet space where there is so much fear mongering,dogma, shaming and echo chambers. You speak with a lot of reason and calm rationality - Thankyou
Been carnivore now for about 4 months and I did follow Bella's butter diet idea. I did about half a stick to one stick of Kerrygold salted butter when I had the urge to eat a snack,in place of stuff like cheese, and I felt better when doing that. I have not had added sugar in my diet, other than store bought bacon, for about a year. I honestly feel great!!
Dr Benjamin Bikman and Dr Robert Lustig point out that PCOS are most often greatly improved when people fixed their insulin tesistance (which tend to be present long before the bloodglucose start to be in pre-fiabetes range).

@@w1975b wrote, _"women...fixed it for you"_
You didn't fix anything. What you did is ignore the context, and then posture that you were 'fixing' something that wasn't wrong. Consider:
PCOS doesn't affect men. So, mentioning it *necessarily implies* that the 'people' being referred to... are *women.* Context matters.
@@RichardHarlos YOU are ignoring the context of society today, that insists women can be men and men can be women, and that "people" is the term to use instead of "women". The woke call that being inclusive. It's insanity. There are many medical websites using "people" instead of "women", and it needs to stop.
9 years carnivore- discovered by accident for a weight cut/photo shoot and before all the hype about it. Best diet for my genetics, it seems
Best diet for humans
I've been on the Lion Diet for 7 months now. I have better energy with increased fat:protein ratio. I experience horrendous muscle cramps despite drinking plenty of water. Salt doesn't help me, but 600 milligrams of potassium does. Each body is unique in its needs.
It’s just working out what works for each of us 😊
Celtic salt has all the minerals you need. And has lots of magnesium,so it's more useful than pink salt.😊
I too seem to need more potassium. I resorted to white potatoes, now I want to get back on ketovore
Get some spray magnesium oil. Do a few sprays on your tummy in the am and a few spays your calves at night and rub in. Some people spray on their feet. It has donewonders for me.
@yah9489 I've tried magnesium oils, and plenty of it! However, it is not magnesium my body lacks - it's potassium. So, the multitudes of magnesium I've tried, topicals and otherwise, did not provide relief.
BUTTER: My carnivore metabolism hit its stride once I added 1/2 a stick of butter to each meal.
👍🏿 common sense.. Influencers influence.. But In the end. Its up to you
I am a diabetic and if I ate 150 gr.of carbohydrates in a day I would be so sick I would be in the Emergency room!
Yes, that is too high for me too.
Id like to keep my hard earned 4.8 A1c, thank you!
My worst binge was 2 pizzas, 3 packs of crazy bread, and 2 liters of diet soda 10k calories.
Carnivore has made me never want to binge, and only occasionally snack.
The diet soda part of the binge is so relatable! 😂
I think the key, and where carnivore and "keto" people should agree, is that low carb / high fat is the healthiest diet for humans. I prefer saturated fat from animals, but others may prefer poly or mono unsaturated fat from plants. Either way though, we don't need a lot of carbs to survive and thrive and we do need lots of protein and fat. It's that simple really, for me carnivore fits my needs perfect.
My story is that I am 46 years old and a former competitive powerlifter. My old doctor, I fired her, saw that my blood work was very high for total cholesterol (only 204 lol) and immediately wanted me on statins. Everything else was in range (I don't agree with the ranges). I told her I wanted to try diet first, she said I needed to do Mediterranean diet. I was reluctant as I have ditched grains a long time ago and went keto nearly a decade ago but have been slacking since I quit competing. Anyway, after a lot of research I decided to go carnivore because it was advantageous for me to eat meat to get my protein needs (over 200g a day) and not have to eat for hours at a time. Plus we raise chickens so I have more eggs than a family can eat every day. Long story short, I feel awesome and have really never been stronger. All my chronic joint pain from years of powerlifting is completely gone, I had bad skin allergies and those are all gone too. In the past, if I so much as touched something new I would break out in hives. I don't even seem to get sunburns anymore which is so odd to me. I am so strong now I may actually compete again and I thought those days were long past me. My wife even ditched Wegovy and is kind of doing ketovore now. Every now and again I have some pineapple or fruit, but only for a treat because I want too not for health reasons.
Blood work is great if you go by the new paradigm of HDL/Triglycerides and not worry so much about total cholesterol and LDL. I would say, anyone curious give it a try for 3 months and see what happens. It's not restrictive like people say, I eat everything I want to eat. I just don't want to eat plants and sugar, everything else is on the table. Forcing me to eat plants that taste bad is more restrictive imo.
I don’t follow or care about her naked thumbnail but my husband and I’ve been on steak, eggs, butter and avocado for about nine months. Our pooping have been beautiful. No more nasty flatulence and cramping. Oh, besides losing weight and lowering A1c, my latest eye test was good. According to the eye doc, my eye sight is better by 2 points. Bad news…needed new pair of glasses. 😂
I'm 56 and Carnivore healed my irritable bowel syndrome and I lost 30 lbs in just a few months. My psoriasis hasn't flared up in over a year. My joints and muscles feel better with no more aches and pains. I will never eat carbs again. I eat sticks of butter too. 😁
How long have you been Carnivore? Are you eating mainly beef?
❤ good for you, go stick of butter 😂
@@magdelinalee2101 thank you. 🙃
Been Carnivore for 7 months now, I was healthy before, and wasn't eating ANY processed foods before, but at the time consumed only whole foods, with 70% of my plate being carbs and salad. I am healthier and sharper now, with more muscle mass building. I poop the same as before, regular as clockwork 30 mins after waking up. So no difference for me there in the back end, regardless of diet. My 2c.
Other things to consider: I have quite rigid times for sleep, due to my work (farming community). I'm in bed and asleep by 20h00, occasionally slightly earlier, and wake up at 4h00 like clockwork. Sometimes perhaps 15 mins early. Perhaps this helps with regularity on the toilet. One's body, after all, likes predictability.
I love your level-headed videos, Dr. Westman!
A year ago I started feeding my dog a raw diet and instantly, within days, noticed a huge difference in her coat, breath, energy, attitude and thought that maybe there was something to this carnivore diet for people too 🤔 And then my journey began. 63, no meds, feel great.
It attracts enough negative attention simply to suggest the benefits of something that's opposite to what we're programmed to believe, and she's got to be the most prominent and comprehensive source of carnivore diet guidance on UA-cam, so of course she's targeted this way.
As other commenters have said, she's also slim, healthy, pretty, intelligent, articulate and with musical talent, so that only makes bitter people hate her even more.

I'm new to the carnivore world and have only been on it a couple of months. I am happy with the results so far. I have lost a little bit of weight though I wasn't trying to, nor did I want to, it just happened. I had to increase what I was eating. It is true that you poop less. I'm down to 2 maybe 3 times a week and the volume has been reduced by at least 75% and as high as 90%.
I went from a 42 inch waist to a 36 inch waist four months staying at 36 inch waste now consistently
Doctor, you are truly awesome. Humble and light-hearted in clarifying what SBDal says. I follow her and I'm 69 living without eczema for a year but carrying the burns from the eczema attacks, Wish I had known this fourteen years ago. Thanks Doctor.
Today was day 21 and i have lost 27 lbs. My energy is through the roof and i havent felt this good in probably 10 years. No more lower back pain or foot pain. The benefits just keep coming, though i realy miss eating fruit and drinking orange juice. 😢
You're the best Doc, all we ever ask for is for truth ❤ love from Australia
Thank you for doing this type of video. I switched my diet 5 years ago to a keto style diet. I did the low inflammatory diet with no seed oils. It worked great. I was off insulin in 3 months, and resolved type 2 diabetes in 6 months, 8.2 A1C to 4.7. I also reversed kidney disease, acid reflux and most importantly I put arthritis in remission, which meant I could walk again. I have maintained the diet for the last 5 years, switching to carnivore 16 months ago. It appears the consensus of fiber being healthy is wrong. I was constipated most of my life with suggestions from doctors to increase fiber. Once I removed all fiber, the constipation went away. There appears to be a real issue with the medical community is accepting the scientific evidence available. I suggest everyone do their own research, because depenging on others (medical professionals) may mislead you to more healh problems.
I am new here, and new to the Carnivore diet as of October 1. I have lost 7 pounds in the first 3 days! So far, so good. I am pleased to have found you!
Gave up smoking after 20 some odd years gave up drinking at the age of 50 giving up sugar damn near impossible, but I will do it
Thank you for this video, Dr. Westman. Carnivore has been the best thing to happen to this 70-year-old male former carboholic.
I was always a freak to my ex husband because I only pooped 1 or 2 times a week, and that was 'before' my carnivore journey. It was always 'normal' for me, so I can't understand why we're all expected to be robots and go daily. On carnivore I'm regular at once every 8 to 10 days...not stomach issues and I feel amazing!
Been carnivore 4 months. I don't have any problems using the bathroom. I eat 0% fiber. No problems.
Excelente comparison with trash Dr. Westman! The less trash to throw away the better. That was the best thing I experienced the first week after starting carnivore. The improvement overall in my digestive system.
As soon (few hours later) as I eat some fruit my belly starts looking like a ball. And if I eat high oxilates fruit my face skin becomes inflamed.. small red bulges.
You don't like it?
@@ianstuart5660 Like what? That I look like a ball or that I have red bulges on the face? Of course I don't like it. :)
The main issue for me is that 10 years ago I had sever stress for 6 months and I've damaged my gut.. got leaky gut. And as I didn't do anythnig at that time I'm alergic to everything now. So for me there is no other way then to be on Lion diet for some time, so that my gut heals.
For the fruit I love them.. but I would rather be healthy then eat forbiden fruit. ;)
