TODAY'S TOPICS:
Is Carnivore safe to do forever? Are there people who SHOULDN'T eat an all-meat diet? Should we fear liver? Does fasting give any extra benefit? Should post-menopausal women change their macros? Does Dr. Chaffee use salt and seasonings? What's the WORST thing that "lenient carnivores" still eat? What does Dr. Chaffee care about on a cholesterol panel?
Kelly Hogan has eaten nothing but meat, eggs, and dairy since October of 2009, and Dr. Anthony Chaffee has about 10 years of Carnivore experience. The two of them talk through their experiences and answer common (and UNcommon) Carnivore questions.

My dad is 80 years old and he's been eating carnivore his whole life, and everyone in the family was telling him he was going to die early .. He's never been obese and still lives on his own, biking everyday and going out dancing every weekend... Recently started dating a younger woman in her 50's 😅 He's literally the only person I know who avoided nutrition advice from the government and just ate meat, fish and eggs ... Also he's never been on any meds and he's far from frail ❤
Damn. That’s an awesome story. Thank you for sharing this. ❤❤❤
Wow!!
That's awesome 👍
If you not Pinocchio your story is amazing!
With no lemon on the fish? No sauces?
I am 76 years old and I did carnivore for one year and lost 125 pounds and lost my diabetes. I am a happy man.
Congratulations that's great!
Are u still doing carnivore?
@@yumyum408 What most people who doesn't know about Carnivore is that it's not a diet. It's a way of eating and once you have done it as long as I have, it's my natural way of eating. So yes and I will continue to eat Carnivore till I die.
@@PreachermanPiper ♡
Bravo 🎉
I was vegan for 2 years post colon cancer resection surgery. After 2 years of the vegan diet, I became so severely anemic my doc said I’d need blood transfusions. She told me to eat beef and prescribed iron. So I began eating meat, reversed the anemia to normalcy within a couple months and without blood transfusions. Today I am carnivore and have never felt better. I follow Drs, Ken Berry, Shawn Baker, Jason Fung and you both, Dr Chaffee and Kelly Hogan! Grateful for this interview!
Best wishes!!👍🏼
Nice! glad you reversed it!
Several years ago, I had strayed away from my habit of eating mostly meat, high fat, and fairly low carb. For some dumb reason I hadn't put 2 & 2 together at the time but I kept getting more bloated, more depressed, exhausted, and even experiencing psychosis. A good friend at the time had suggested an "organic, all natural" pescatarian and ultimately a vegan diet as the "solution" to all my issues. I tried pescatarian for several months and just kept feeling worse. I was eating tons of supposedly "healthy" foods - lots of veggies, fruits, nuts, hemp seeds, lentils and lean fish. Nothing was working so she convinced me to try 100% vegan. She thought I just needed to cut out all animal product 🙄. I cut out the fish and went vegan for 2 solid weeks and have never felt worse. I thought I was dieing. The bloating was so bad after eating even the tiniest meal or a few bites that it felt like I was going to explode. Finally something clicked and I'd remembered never feeling that awful when I used to eat lots of eggs and chicken and yogurt. So I went back in the low carb/keto direction and almost immediately (within a week or two) most of those awful symptoms vanished. Now I'm strict keto/no more than 20 grams per day. It's amazing what this type of diet does for our bodies and how many lies there are about how awful meat and animal fats are for our health.
No IORON..BICAM LEUCHEMIA..?IRON IS I D MEET..FERRITINE IS D TRANSPORTER..NO TRANSPORTER NO ABSORBESCIO...NO IRON PLESE..ORMON REGULET IRON
100% of vegans I’ve known on social media, get deathly ill after a few years.
Yet, carnivores I follow have eaten this way for 10-50 years & thrive.
I had a coworker recently diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer after years of being vegan. She said she never liked the taste of meat. She drank a lot of celery juice and it didn't help. Now she is going the route here late mother did- chemotherapy/conventional medical & no alternative medicine. I'm sad for her as her mother's last months were bedridden and miserable.
Great information. I’ve been carnivore then keto and now back to carnivore over the paste three years after a quintuple bypass. I lost 195lbs was able to come off of all 12 big pharma drugs. Fixed type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. A1c is 5.6, hdl is 60, triglycerides are 63and ldl is 98. I feel better than I have in 30 years. But my cardiologist keeps pushing statins and I keep refusing. He completely ignores all of the good that has happened. Even after a positive pet scan score. I had no choice but to fire him.
Sounds like your CAC score would be 0 as well.
Fantastic!!!❤️
@@marlenegold280 my cac score 4 years ago was 2980. No way it’s 0 or anywhere close but I’m not concerned. I’ve gotten rid of everything in my diet that was causing plaque.
Bombs Away!
Buh bye, foolish Dr!
@@marlenegold280 once you’ve been on statins, ur CAC scores are meaningless. That foul drug messes up u so the CAC isnt accurate.
I started Carnivore 30 days ago when I found out I was Type 2. Down 28 lbs. A1C went from 8.2 to 5.9% in that time. I love Kelly Hogan! She is amazing! 👏 👏 👏
You inspire me! Just 6 days in for me and I'm excited for what's to come! Thank you xx
I have been carnivore for about 5 months, didn't work out a day but muscles grow out of nowhere 😂
Oh my God.... you are inspiring me now... I also have sugar problems I was diagnosed with Pre-diabetes but didn't want to find out if it progressed to full Type 2 ... I have been on about 95% Carnivore for more than three years now and never lost a single pound because I kept on going back to just a small amount of fresh fruit or other food with carbs. I am starting again now very, very strict and only allowing myself lean beef for the next month and see how that works for me... Thank you so much for your post... I will try to find this again in a month and let you know my results.
Wow! Congratulations! Keep up the great job 👍
@@Dakiniwoman remember don’t go lean beef. You want the fatty cuts of meat or you won’t feel as good. Clean everything else out. Good luck
I am in my third week of Carnivore and in 2 wks I lost 14lbs. I am 76 yr old and have joint issues this past week I have been doing chores I haven't performed in years. Moving around much better cannot wait until on it 3 or 4 months to see where I am with it. My Rheumatologist looked at my hands this morning and was amazing no knots on swelling she was amazed. I this helps someone in three weeks I know it will be like a miracle in few months. I love the diet it works I already know this for sure. God Bless all
I am also 76 and have been very low carb for years, virtually free of sugar, grains, starches, alcohol, seed oils and very low on seed oils and processed foods. In both a new doctor's interview and a medicare survey, my lack of medication, arthritis, diabetes, HBP, imbalance/falls etc and my unusual activity level were near astonishing. I report that I had arthritis in my 20's, which started me on my nutrition journey, and then pre-diabetes in my 60's (too many "healthy whole grains"), which brought me to Atkins and my very low carb diet. I'm now trying the 80/20 carnivore, 4 meals, pattern and surprised at how much more cheerful and motivated I am! It's SO interesting, going against everything the general public has been led to believe! God bless ❤️🙏❤️
I started a week ago, could you please share what you are eating? It's wonderful congratulations
Love your energy! I am a former vegetarian, now carnivore for 10 weeks. Still need to fine tune a few things, but, I feel REALLY good!
Stick with it and reap the benefits 💪.
Good for u on making the change
I had my gallbladder removed in 2013. I find that when I eat high fat I have no problems. While this is still new to me I feel better eating high fat and added fat. You’d have to pry my butter coffee out of my cold dead hands. I also found that it wasn’t that hard to give up the stevia. My husband thinks I’m weird but I am feeling better. I am also going into menopause and losing belly fat. Yay carnivore!
How are you feeling today? I hope you are well in your menopause. Mine was horrible and over now. Take care. 🌼
I found I had no menopause symptoms.
I saw what other women go through, and didn’t want to require laying on a cold concrete floor just to endure the hot flashes.
Barlean's Evening Primrose Oil is good to take for menopause.
I love highfat!
A stick a day
Beef renderings taste wonderful cold also. I keep all the grease from cooking hamb or the rare ribs/steak and eat it with the crispy bits -I don’t strain it. Soooo delightful!
Butter coffee? Creamer in my coffee is keeping me from starting carnivore. WHAT IS BUTTER COFFEE?
I’m 74, a quite strict Carnivore for 18 wks, but little weight loss. My husband, not at all strict, lost a lot of weight quickly. I have Hashimoto disease so auto immune issues. Went off butter then coffee, no help. Then tried intermittent fasting - it works, for me at least 👏👏👏. Love Carnivore as a lifestyle. Been travelling around Australia and so so easy!
Do you supplement with iodine?
I was vegetarian for years as a teen and I’m now dealing with PCOS and infertility as a young adult. I’m starting meat based keto today!
Find Dr Kiltz
Good choice starting now, so many of us were in your shoes and didn't listen or didn't know and now we are suffering with other issues. Hope all your efforts work.
I'm about to turn 55 and I work 12 hours outside on my 300 acre ranch where I raise all of my cattle goats turkeys chickens and ducks for food. Great I have been between 97 and ninety-nine percent carnivore for over 25 years. At times I have been 100% carnivore. I always feel super healthy I never ever get sick and I have tons and tons of energy. Don't have any health problems have not even seen a medical doctor for about 27 years. I am a grandmother of three. And to top it off I am a retired holistic doctor with a PhD in natural medicine where I have seen over 8,000 clients over a 29-year career. Every single person that I know that has gone carnivore has never regretted it and they are all and I repeat all doing super well and feeling wonderful and most of them have gotten off of all of their prescription medications. Thank you Doctor Chaffee I really respect you and I send everybody to watch your video that plants are trying to kill us because it kind of sums it up for everyone in a nutshell. Thank you for all you do😊
That's wonderful to hear! Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring! 🙂🙏
23 days into Carnivore and I am in my 60's I feel great!
I'm 62 and I've been eating this way for 2 years and thriving! All my joint pain is gone!
Hi Donna and Karen
I will be 60 in August . I just kicked off my carnivore experience with a 3 day fast, the a 2 steak dinner with butter. After all the various methods of low carb were evaluated, and revisiting my youth when I would just devour meat, I decided that for me it seems meat is the ultimate food. Low carb is no carb which is best.
Did you have any struggles? What are you eating? Of course I am a 224 lb guy, 6'1". So I expect my needs are different. I was 236 last week when I came down with COVID. I ate like a pig first 3 days, a whole pound cake, 6 ice cream bars, a whole cake a few days prior, some candy I found, chips, I mean, gosh it was just out of control. Now, I feel so good after a 3 day liquid only fast. And the prize was 2 pan seared NY Strips with peppercorn and butter, on the outdoor grill in a cast iron skillet! I ate those down like a chocolate cake! 🤣🤣🤣
69 here. Still lifting weights 3X a week and carnivore since February
@@GBB70 what led you to carnivore? What kinds of issues were you experiencing and what results have you compiled? Thanks if you care to answer.
@@GBB70 WTG! I am now around 135 days into CV WOE. Decided to do BBBE day 13 of 30 day challenge. FEEL even better! Down to the weight I was in my 40's WOO HOO! and even more energy
I’m post-menopause & eat meat! 🥩 8 months carnivore & feeling better than I have in DECADES 😁
Me too! I have been carnivore for over 2 years. I'm 62.
Same here! 58 yrs old, post meno, carnivore 7months and loving it!
I'm 57 and not carnivore but have anxiety, hot flashes, and RA
I'm pretty convinced that carnivore could be the answer! Thanks for your feedback, and congratulations on your success.
I am post menopause. I started carnivore 2 months ago... I am still suffering from bloat and constipation. HELP!
@@MFU_ add more fat to help with constipation, try just beef and meat broth to help with bloating. That takes a bit of time. It took me about couple of months to feel better and I was never a sugar addict.
Here's what I've learnt in this interview:
- weight loss can take some time
- animal organs aren't recommended
- carnivore diet mimics fasting. I'm doing omad so it's all good
- more animal fat is recommended
- high fat consumption goes through the body (self regulating)
- I'm cutting out whole milk and cheese right now
- spices can have a negative effect
-Diabetes can be reversed on a carnivore diet!
why are you cutting out dairy? I tend to avoid since it keeps my rosacea/ eczema from going away completely. I'd like to mess with raw milk from a farmer though
@@Dante-ot8xg I have a problem digesting milk for some reason. I figure keeping a strict meat diet then introducing more food later on. Some healing is in order first.
Dante : I get nauseous on store milk. My local raw dairy farmer sells a gallon for $6, I drink a gallon a week. It doesn’t make me nauseous.
Why animal organs are not recommended?
After almost two years carnivore, my fiancé ate high fat and he had diarrhea everyday until he started eating more. Adding more protein made it worse but more fat was the solution. Turns out he wasn’t eating enough for the bile he was producing. Eating more made his poop solid and he’s growing even more muscle without the gym.
I started eating more fat and less protein and started losing weight again after a plateau.
We eat about 80-90 percent fat by calories or 60 percent fat by volume.
Learning how to eat intuitively has been hard and I finally feel like it’s making sense. Over two years after starting.
Edit: I eat mostly pork. Beef hurts my stomach and I can only digest small amounts of it without pain and constipation. I eat mostly home smoked pork belly and pork chops cooked in rendered pork belly fat. My fiancés eats mostly burgers and bacon. A lot of carnivores demonize pork and that’s ridiculous. It’s delicious and the most affordable available local meat for me.
That’s interesting. I’ve been eating ground beef patties most days and sometimes ground lamb patties - if I can find which is rare where I live. I haven’t tried ground pork burgers but I think now I will.
@@kaycee625 I make my own patties from 2lbs ground chuck mixed with 1 lb WalMart Italian ground sausage meat (mostly pork). Add 1/2 C of chopped Pepperoncini, 1 small onion and 1/2 C any shredded cheese. Do not even need salt! these we could eat every single day and it's affordable! If you are dairy free, don't add the cheese. If you can't tolerate the nightshades, leave out the pepper and onions. But this mix is to die for. This makes 12 patties and is cooked in about 5 minutes on low heat. I air fry them and pan fry them in bacon fat.
Yes! I love pork!
Beef does the same thing to me!
Hi, what kind of fat do you two eat? Thanks
I honestly feel like I'm dying. I'm only 34 but my diet consist of sugar and every other junk food. I can't even play with my 7 kids. Almost a year ago I did carnivore for 16 days and all my back pain went away! I had no pain and I wasn't tired. Then I started eating sugar again and I'm back in the same place. I feel like there is no hope. I've never stuck with anything in my life. I know that carnivore means life or death for me. My kids need me and my husband also. So today I am starting anew. I don't know how I'm going to make it but I must.
How are you doing?
I'm older than you and for me... I just had to get to a point where I just simply wanted it bad enough to say NO to all that junk I used to eat. Black pepper and olive oil as well as other seasonings are very flavorful too.
@@wydopnthrtl I started that day I posted and I'm still carnivore. I haven't cheated once. I feel so much better and I've lost 15lbs so far!
Whenever you are hungry, eat more meat. If you have any constipation or dry stools add butter to your meat.
Kristi, I am 76 yr old and have been on Carnivore 3 weeks and it is amazing the way I feel now. Had joint pain from lupus and SI joint in terrible condition. Already seeing the biggest difference I went to doctor this morning and she was shocked to see the weight loss and my hands were perfect she said. No way I will go back eating carbs feeling like this in 3 weeks cannot wait to see a few months behind me God Bless you will be in my prayers and thoughts to see the diet through
@@smacc3670 I use MCT oil in my coffee. Especially when I eat veg. Eating only beef though I have no need for it.
Beginning my 8th week carnivore and I am super stoked. I cannot wait to see how I feel in year five, ten, twenty and so on.
Update: 1 year and 1 month in, still losing. Slowly, but still losing. The ONLY things my body is still struggling with is balancing menopause hormone changes and tinnitus is still here. (I’ve had that since childhood for an unknown reason) The tinnitus is getting less-loud very gradually. I only lose about 2lbs per month, which is a bummer, but that’s just vanity. Otherwise, I feel AMAZING and absolutely happy with my progress. Down a total of 48lbs as of Monday with between 50-60 more to go. This is the proper human diet.
I LOVED this interview! Dr. Chaffee is quickly becoming one of my favorites to listen to because of his strict commitment to real carnivory and he ability to back up his information. Experience and scientific fact are a winning combination!
Me too
@@mws121269 Mee three :)
I agree, his down to earth, calm demeanor is so great!
One of my goals with carnivore is to be as happy and joyful as Kelly is.
Most doctors are lying to us, diabetes IS reversible!! Great show!!
I've told a few people who have diabetes how it was reversible. They all said they weren't willing to change the way they eat so it's the price to pay to be happy.
Many don't believe it is....along with many other issues.
@@jennybtx That's only because a majority of our population is extremely indoctrinated.
@Nichole Brown Yep. Many also just believe their doctor and refuse to get 2nd opinions or more.
I reversed my type 2 diabetes after 20 years of insulin. No meds for the last 2 years. So liberating. Other benefits include nearly 40 lbs weight loss, no more night sweats or hot flashes, mood swings or depression. Lots of energy. No brainier. I am nearly 52 but I feel 25 years old. It’s great.
I don’t know how he has any time for himself with the schedule he has.. yet still has time to do interviews on other’s UA-cam channels. He’s always so gracious and humble.
Great interview.
I’m 62,, have lost 40 plus pounds since going carnivore back in January.. aside from VERY high LDL levels, my other markers are great as well as BP. Im back to being my previous athletic self again, which is nice (cycling)
High LDL is normal on animal based diets! It's only a flag when you eat a carb based diet.
I’m so happy with what he’s saying about liver. Eat it if you like the taste and it makes you feel good. I ate liver because I felt like I “had” to eat it because of a certain “Carnivore” doc trying to sell supplements for people who couldn’t bring themselves to just eat the organs. It makes me nauseous and gaggy… I won’t be eating liver. And I don’t feel bad about it. I don’t need to waste my money on supplements either.
I'm with you! I cannot eat liver, and now I feel ok to stop with the organ supplements. Will not reorder when I run out.
@@janellebraun5438 yeah the supplements are expensive!!! I never noticed a difference taking them. And I took them for a while,…the Tallow one, the combo of beef organs, the liver one…. They are like $40+ a bottle lol… no thanks I’ll just buy more meat instead 🤷🏼♀️
I like to eat raw liver... Original liver, not supplements... Maybe, these supplements can be good in certain very serious medical conditions, but generally the natural sources (that is, the whole organs, raw as much as possible) are the best. There were no supplements in the paleolithic era...
I have a friend who makes my sausage and he put liver in without telling me and I didnt notice. Now I eat it all the time
I got hooked into one of those 'Carnivore' specialist who turned out to be a supplement saleswomen. BEWARE
happy that there are ppl out there that don’t push fasting. i hate the idea of depriving myself of nutrients and only fast when travelling for work and unable to find my food at the airport.
I’m enjoying Dr. Chaffee’s interviews as I’m coming across him frequently, and I learn something or get encouraged every time I listen.
Great discussion! Kelly, you’re so good at asking the good questions.
His guns, my goodness.
he's very calming...this was the first interview I've heard regardless that UA-cam has been promoting him and he's all over my veiwing channels. I really enjoyed this interview.
Me too. Videos are popping up with him lately. Or I see him mentioned in comments, even on totally unrelated topics or videos. I think he is having a moment of growth.
I remember being a child being forced to eat vegetables, especially broccoli. Any
thing touching the stuff I considered contaminated. Kids are instinctive and haven't
LEARNED to love vegetables. They know better in their earlier years. Just started Carnivore
again earlier this month. Feel great, motivation and energy has returned. Restarting old projects.
lol I made a stew the other day (me carnivore the rest of the fam is not) and my kiddo asked me how many bites of veggies from the stew she had to eat and I had to stop and laugh at myself for making her eat veggies her whole life, and now my 21 day into carnivore self told her "None sweetie, throw them away". I feel bad for making her eat them her whole life.
That may be true for vegetables but have you heard any child saying no to fruit? I think that argument is a misnomer. In fact, my sister-in-law would only eat pears and nothing else for a period of her childhood. Let's not delude ourselves with the 'children know what's good for them' statement. How many kids say no to candy?
@@francisvlatko2834 lol good point and I've always used the phrase "Fruit is nature's candy" but I still didn't make my kiddo eat veggies.
@@francisvlatko2834 Right and lets not forget the way people have assaulted their children's palettes from the time they are babies with high sugar processed foods. It's like the Louis CK joke about an apple tasting like paper to a kid because of all the crap they've eaten already and become used to. I do know a couple of parents who have only given their kids veggies and fruits and their kids gravitate toward those and don't crave other things cuz they've never had them. I know a little 3 year old who loooooves water cuz her parents have never given her juice. You have a lot of influence as parents over their palettes and cravings. Another carnivore doctor has only fed his baby animal products and breast milk and this kid even likes sardines!
@@francisvlatko2834
My 6 year old nephew doesn't like fruit, either. He loves homemade banana-milkshake, which I guess counts in a way...and will reluctantly agree to some frozen berries or a slice of apple occasionally. But he never, ever asks for fruit and trying to make him eat most, will result in a screaming fit.
I don't know why, since he certainly loves sweets and prefers fruity sweets like gummy bears or lollies to chocolate (although we limit stuff with sugar, obviously). But you can't even tempt him with very sweet tropical fruit.
His favorite food in the world are plain, unsweetened oats, with a sprinkle of raisins and full fat milk. He generally seems to prefer fairly bland foods. Sweet or salty is fine, but not sour, bitter or hot.
Kids are weird.
My 2 favorite Carnivores! YAY. As far as protein vs fat...I really heard you when I transitioned from Keto to Carnivore 3 weeks ago to listen to my body when my addictions are under control and for me I am Pro Fat. If my meat is too lean, I will add 1/2 a stick of butter or 6 slices of bacon to the meal. I crave it so much that I have wanted just the butter. It's something I have always craved and I always believed this was contributing to my heavier weight. Now I know better as the weight is coming down as I eat all the extra fat. While I need to lose about 45 lbs, I'm doing this to combat the depression and anxiety that I have been plagued with since my teens. A great lady I heard recently said Food doesn't make us fat. Unhealthy food screws up our hormones and that is what makes us fat. I know once my body is in balance, the weight will follow and I'll be happier during all the steps of my journey.
Amen to ALL of that Lily!! I could change the name & the story would be the same, it's uncanny~ I used to be SO stingy w/the butter, even though I really, really wanted it- same goes for salt. It's ridiculous how oppositional I was eating to what my body knew it needed. I spent over 20 yrs eating 4-5 times a day, couple ounces of super lean protein w/a handful of veg or fruit~ grazing really, & nearly zero fat. So then I ended up w/a miniature-sized stomach, super dry hair & skin, anxiety/depression(that was from teens on however), errggghhh!! I've been doing IF w/keto for over a year, no sugar at all, but still using sweeteners because I love to bake & make candy. It simply is not going to get me where I want to be~ & not just the 45 lbs, it's the superior overall health & well-being I'm after. I've always strived towards longevity & maintaining muscle mass/flexibility, yet at 56 yrs old, I'm just now figuring out how much more I can do~ AND how simple it really is! Going carnivore has been a massive blessing- already- & the depression/anxiety was the very first change~ it simply lifted one day, & I do not intend to invite it back🤸♀️ I think you will be way past thrilled here real soon~ take care, stand strong, & know that in a short time from now, you likely won't even remember how crappy you used to feel~ sending love from AZ~Samantha🙋♀️
Back in the 70's my mother used to snack on big slices of butter. Then the food guidelines came out and we switched to margarine, lowfat milk, more fruit and veg, etc. We certainly didn't get healthier and now it seems we would have been much better off ignoring those guidelines.
👍 lucky you. I loved butter on pumpkin scones, date slice or pikelets or bread or cheese scones but idk why I don't like with carnivore
@@RV-there-Yet Sending love from WA ! About to turn 53 and committed 100%
How have you been doing? Do you have an update your could share?
I just love Kelly, she is a huge inspiration. I am always motivated after watching her videos.❤️
Loved this interview and all the information! I just started carnivore two weeks ago and have only lost two pounds. I do still drink one cup of black coffee and have a little piece of chocolate a day. I have been Paleo for years and have come to a plateau so wanted to try carnivore to drop my last 20lbs. Love watching Kelly Hogan!
When I was younger in the early 80’s I lived next to three ladies who were doing the zero fat, fat free diets of the time. They all lost weight, we’re obsessed about food, but all looked awful. Fast forward to the past few years, all three got early severe dementia, and are now all died far too soon.
So interesting that you say that. My mom is 92...no medications except a multivitamin, and has had elevated, very elevated cholesterol, but never drank alcohol or smoked and is sharp as a tack, very healthy without any heart disease or diabetes and has never been overweight....she walks 4 miles/day.....but also, she tends to eat 90% meat! She has been fortunate to have a PCP and cardiologist that are supportive!
Best wishes!!👍🏼
My mother is going to be 100, takes levothyroxine only, no diabetes, no heart issues, etc. eats whatever she wants and has to go up and down the stairs all day . She used to smoke 70 years ago. Exercise was housework.
Omg love you Kelly for calling out the liver/organ pushers (we know who you are). This interview is incredible... and with truly cool, humble people. Tired of the fake, cocky, know it all ones out there who say they want to help the world and then charge $1000 an hour to "help" you. Dr. Chaffee, you are a breath of fresh air. You, Dr. Baker, and Dr. Berry are incredible and more than that, humble people which goes a long way these days. Salute!
Dr. Berry promotes eating organs, like liver, though.
@@madshader Recommends, big difference.
@@bklynjoe96 Dunno about you but I like heart, it steaks like a steak.
@@IgnoreMeImWrong I eat it every now and then.
Who are the organ pushers?
I’m pretty pro-organ myself due to Weston A. Price’s research in early 1900s.
Love the way you asked questions that one usually doesn't hear from carnivore people. Some were things I had wondered about. I have been keto for 2+ years and tried a carnivorish move with Beef, Butter, Bacon and Eggs (BBBE) that Dr. Berry advocates. Whoa! That was amazing about the way I felt and the way my body reacted. I didn't lose weight, but I did lose a lot of inches as my body started changing. I think that a little bit of carbs in the summer will work best for me as I like to eat local and then in the winter do pure carnivore. This is just me, I don't preach that to anyone else. But my current bloodwork is backing what I am doing as my triglycerides are now in normal range. My cholesterol is high, but I don't worry about that.
Same, cholesterol is high but triglycerides are low. There’s a video on Low Carb Down Under I think that explains this so well
@@freedomfirst1922 Thanks. I will go looking for it.
To fix your cholesterol you need more sun, vitamin d3.
-- I use "sports research brand", animal vitamin D3 in an organic healthy coconut oil pill, no fillers! All their supplements are clean, pure and always at the top of my list after researching through 99% synthetic posion supplements.
This false narative on consuming eggs equating to high cholesterol is true but an incomplete story lacking full picture and disclosure... cholesterol is main ingredient in body combined with sun radiation (UV) converts/transforms cholesterol into Vitamin D !!! Low sun and/or low cholesterol creates low vitamin d and many other issues.
54yo Female Starting my 3rd month on carnivore. In my first month I was really limiting my caloric intake and barely lost any weight the first month. One day, I was so frustrated and upset, I ate 2 pounds of ribeye steak in one sitting. The next day I lost 2 pounds! Now, I eat till Im stuffed and that can be 1+ pounds of meat at a sitting (typically eat 2x a day) and Ive lost 17 lbs in 2 months. I know the fat/protein is the great debate. Im finding higher beef fat helps me at a 70/30 ratio and about 1800 to 2000 calories
Kelly, let me just say that I love you. You are my #1 inspiration on the health front. Your energy is absolutely infectious. Thank you thank you for putting yourself out there all these years.
Yes, love this conversation. We so need MD's to talk more and more about carnivore specific to these illnesses. I reversed hypothyroid within 3 months of eating carnivore. It happened quickly with low oxalate and carnivore. I had to stop my meds and for a shirt time was actually hyper tyroid til the meds got out of my system. Thanks for your work Kelly and Dr. Chaffee!!
what were your symptoms on hypo?
How long were you hypothyroid for, before you reversed it? I was told there’s no cure for hypothyroidism.
@@lisaostrander2811 over 10+ years. I was on Armor thyroid for years! Been off meds now for 7 months and just had blood work done. Everything is perfect!!
This is so interesting I am hypothyroidism on 150 MG of synthroid and hoping carnivore reverses this
Thank you Dr Chaffee for stepping into the spotlight to speak as a practicing physician who has been eating meat-only for ten years.
Awesome discussion Kelly and Anthony. Fatty meat, eggs, tasty cheese, butter and mineral salt are my go to daily staples. No more gut pain, improved food digestion, way more energy, less sleep (didnt expect that) joints better, muscles stronger and skin/scalp totally free of psoriasis and roughness. 4 years in to carnivore and no plans to stop. Thanks Kelly, love your style
I srsly need to sleep. The less sleep is maddening to me.
I need quality sleep if I can’t get quantity!
I’ve been a chronic insomniac but it’s been constant since carni.
@@YeshuaKingMessiahI also had insomnia, but now I have my last meal of the day before sunset, and I sleep better.
Thank you for sharing your story about the 23 lbs in 6 months. As an Ole Icu nurse I am determined to stick with it and it’s only been 41 days so far, Hashimotos, insulin resistance, I do feel better but trying not to get discouraged about not seeing any weight loss and gained 4 lbs . Thank you both for sharing your thoughts, time and experience.
Yes thats my experience too unfortunately. I lost some weight ( 4.5 pounds ) but after a month carnivore i really expected more.
I have Hashimotos and PMR, possibly some type of fibromyalgia too. Have put on 100lbs in the last 10 years despite eating so little, mostly chicken and veg. In desperation, I want to try the low carb option.
The seltzer water comment made me laugh! Thanks for bringing that up. That’s all I drink, seltzer water and heavy creamed coffee. This was a great interview.
Thanks for asking Dr Chaffee questions that I haven't heard him answer before! You're such an awesome interviewer! I'm glad Otis wasn't a rat! I hope your kids, and Otis, are feeling better! Thanks for this fun and interesting video!
I've enjoyed the 2 times I've heard the good doctor, he's SO laid back and gives some great easy to except info. Thanks y'all, for this BRILLIANT chat.
Kelly, I love your intro. It makes me feel like I'm about to watch a sitcom from 2003, like Malcom In The Middle or something. Please never change it.
Thanks Kelly for the pep talk telling me to stick with it. I'm 3 weeks in and lost 17lbs in the first week and a half and no more has come off in the past week and a half. I was worried I was doing something wrong but your right I need to perk up and stick with it and watch other health markers rather than weight. It was the main marker I was trying to keep an eye on.
I LOVE listening to him.! He is rational, level headed, and thoughtfully articulate...TOTAL OPPOSITE of Paul Saladino...thank you for having him!
Total opposite?
Agreed 👍I like Saladino but he contradicts himself often.
Huge fan of this doctor! When he writes a book- I’m buying it!! He is awesome!! 😎
It's such a privilege to listen to Dr. Anthony Chaffee. He is an example of what he teaches on Carnivore and we can trust what he says because he is a researcher.
One of the best interviews I have seen 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼thank you Kelly and Dr Chaffee
I am 56, mother of 6, started carnivore diet two days ago have lost 3 pounds and feel amazing. I’m 5’1” and weighed in at 180 three days ago. I did cheat a little bit yesterday and had some cinnamon apple sauce and immediately my stomach started to bloat and I didn’t feel good. I have always had a problem with inflammation in my body and mid section until I started eating only meat and drinking water. I immediately felt better and my swelled up belly went down. I truly believe that I am allergic to sugar and carbs. I’m so thankful that I came across Kelly Hogans videos. Thank you Kelly and God bless you. ❤p.s. I’m going to have to change my UA-cam channel name.😄my name is Celeste aka Heavenly Dawn, aka Celeste Dawn.
you are not allergic to foods, you just need to heal your gut microbiome.
I'm so excited! I actually went by McDonald's and ordered two regular hamburger patties and it was only$2ish. I'm so pumped. They salt and peppered it, was delicious. Thank you so much for all that you do. Can't wait to hear this episode. ❤
Thank you for addressing thyroid on this diet. Well meaning people out there create fear that we are destroying our thyroid and adrenals on this way of eating.
Well done guys , I just started my carnivore and I am so looking forward to the future, thank you for the inspiration, you have saved another life from wasting away🤙😃
I eat sauteed in butter organic chicken livers every couple of months. Share them with my dog:) Great watching the two of you together. I am 77, hoping to gain muscle and heal:) I have been carnivore now almost 9 weeks. Just had bacon for dessert.
Wish I knew all this 15-20 years ago when my dad was suffering and eventually died in 2011 due to Parkinson's....and he did the worst thing he could have done when diagnosed- stopped eating meat. So sad.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I tried to get my Mom to change her diet. She died of congestive heart failure at 76. My brother had triple bypass surgery a week after his 54th birthday. I've suffered from Hashimotos, Lyme, babesia, Bartonella, EBV, etc. for 32+ years, but I'm healthier than either of them.
@@tracyd2598 Thanks Tracy. So sad to hear you tried to help your mom, but weren't able to- that would be difficult. Ironically, my dad died at the same age- 76. Great to hear with all the health concerns you've had, you've found a way to health.
At 3:30 the number 42 was highlighted... what they don't know is there was a band back in the 70's-80's called "Level 42" lol 😅🤣🎶
Dr Chaffee has me more motivated to become full carnivore. Kelly I love your interview style and insightful questions. Thank you!
This was a very informative video and I enjoyed seeing Kelly and Dr Chaffe together. Kelly’s questions were many of the ones I needed answers to and Dr Chaffe answered them well. I feel a bit more informed about being an 81 /yo woman and starting a “true carnivore” diet for myself. I don’t need to lose weight, but my thyroid is not working well so I am on 75mg of Levothyroxine daily. While I have been “mostly ketovore “ for several years, my hope is that I can get my thyroid back working again and will be able to drop the Levothyroxine eventually through a “true carnivore” diet. I am quite physically fit and usually walk 4-6miles/day as well as do strength training with a trainer 2X/wk at the gym.
Listening to this presentation has CONVINCED me to take the next step, from current keto with light use of greens, (i.e. micros, brassicas) and berries, plus light cheese/yogurt/cottage cheese. I will now transition to PURE CARNIVORE (target date beginning when I run out of my few remaining cheese and sweetener supplies). I'll try eliminating sweeteners and most spices, too. Although giving up coffee like some kind of a wild animal may just be asking too much. So it's going to be meat, eggs (didn't catch comments about that in this vid) and butter.
I made this decision because you asked the right question, and Dr. C said something to the effect that 95% of the benefit from carnivore comes from eliminating the last little bit of crap.. Those are the "goodies" that keto seems to have allowed me, but I'm IN for the win!!!
So far, I've lost over 100 lbs on keto but still have some irritating symptoms from my myasthenia gravis (that almost killed me some time back). Maybe a pure carnivore lifestyle will take me to that next peak of re-establishing my health. I'm only 25 lbs away from the weight I graduated from the Coast Guard port security school when I was 20 years old (now 40). So many years being FAT. I peaked at over 340 lbs.
I'm working to spread the word after being part of the problem as a biology teacher, who once believed the crap my government continues to stuff down our throats. The false peer studies of the 70's have had lasting implications on longevity. Corrupt parasites are KILLING PEOPLE with phony science. It seems to take DECADES to repair the damage to society from this kind of corruption (i.e. the phony Autism links to vaccines thanks to another corrupt study). It seems that the food and medical industries' aim today is profit through disinformation. Obedience with what some government dufus tells us will keep killing, so it's up to people like you and Dr. C to keep up your good work.
Thank You Kelly and Dr. Chaffee for taking the time in making and sharing this valuable video. Telling what works in the human diet is so exciting to me, because I’ve been on a carnivore diet for three years and lost 70 pounds..
Guys! I needed to hear this about fasting and liver! Carnivore strict OMAD. Lately I've been doing too much fasting and trying to put liver in everything
I'm with you on this. I definitely take seriously the issue of organ meats. I'm going to eliminate them for a time as an experiment. But I have seemed to feel better with fasting. The thing is it can easily be overdone, particularly by those who get obsessive about health. I don't do fasting all the time. Some days of the week I eat freely as much as my hunger allows. I mix that with some intermittent fasting and occasional extended fasting. Consider hunter-gatherers. It's true they don't eat organ meats every day. But fasting is one of the most common of practices. So, I do think we can learn a lot from following the example of traditional societies.
I have been on carnivore for a year now, my best advice is...Throw away the scale....the weight will come off and the health will improve. You will see and feel the improvement.
Super great advice!!
lol I love coming to Kelly's UA-cam she has a wonderful way of pepping me up and motivating me and you too. I appreciate it I am 21 days in and lost 17lbs right away and I am now stalled out. I didn't do this for weight loss I am overweight but I love myself and my body so I never minded being a large person, but my gut health was so off I also knew much of the weight could be caused by that. I was watching the weight and thinking it would be the easiest way of seeing my health improve and the stall kinda deflated me a bit.
So I really appreciate your advice, support and perspective!
@@rcolorado2364 Way to go! I am just over a year in, lost 45lbs the first 6 months, been there since August. I have tried every diet under the sun, including keto & carnivore all for weight loss over the years. This time I also did this for health. I was having heart palpitations, coughing all the time after I ate, itching like crazy.... etc. This time, and I too needed to lose, I just wanted to feel better. A few weeks in & I was already feeling better. I still have about another 30-40lbs that needs to go, but hoping in time, after more internal healing, that too will melt away.
Keep up your great work & don't give up!
Thank you, Kelly, love your vids! And I especially love this one! I needed this info right now!
One size doesn't fit all, I personally only lose weight if I watch my calories
@@wesleygaitan have you tried carnavor for longer than a month?
I've had sciatica for 10 years and been in pain and nothing I would do would fix it and 2 weeks on strict carnivore and it completely disappeared pain and all. I dont know the science to this and don't care I love this diet
My sciatica is reduced since carnivore!
@@elbertajohnson937 it’s weird but I started off using spices like garlic, chili powder and turmeric and ceyane pepper and was starting to feel good but really felt the benefit when I went straight carnivore with meat salt and water. I can turn my neck without sharp pains running down my leg now and straighten my back out fully and stretch. Before carnivore I’ve almost collapsed and fell to the ground in pain because I turned my neck while I was walking. I do not miss that
Jamie What exactly did you eat on carnivore to cure neuropathy and sciatica,?
@@elbertajohnson937 El johnson..3 yrs carnivore no change in sciatica or neuropathy.. i got hives and daily diahreah .still on carnivore!!!what exactly did you eat to ret cured.
@@davidrodgers4760 grass fed ground beef salt butter and water. I think plants were keeping my back inflamed and the carnivore diet reduced the inflammation.
On a somewhat coincidental carnivore note: One of my best recipes was handed down by my grandfather who was part of a traveling band of clowns which toured the country in the 1930s and 40s. Not only did he fully participate as a performer (juggling and spraying seltzer mostly) but he was also in charge of the Clown Chuckwagon, and over the years, came up with a nice selection of mostly campfire stews (or "or stewge" as Gramps used to call them),, soups and casseroles. One of my favorites, casseroles, which I still prepare frequently, consists of baked beans and wieners (for the KETO portion of the meal), macaroni and cheese. and a couple handfuls of those big orange circus peanuts - a sweet yet savory bake-up that's a hit with everyone who tries it. Gramps had one clown name for performing with his fellow troupers at carnivals, civic events, etc., throughout the central Midwest ""Antsy Pants" - but around the campfire at breakfast or suppertime, when most of these talented vagabond buffoons had removed their make-up and hung their giant shoes in their campers, (but oddly enough not all of them) Gramps was affectionately known among the boys as "Yummo." He told me how it wasn't unusual for farmers to donate a hen or two and maybe a couple of dozen eggs, in return for a brief barnyard slapstick performance by a couple of the boys for the farmer, his family and his hired hands.. He also told me as soon as he got back to camp with the chickens, the alcoholic Geek who traveled with them would inevitably beg permission to bite the heads of the pullets when Gramps was ready to get those birds cooking. Seemed that this particular Geek actually not only savored the taste of the live chickens he was required to eat (which were usually provided by the promoter of the event at which the troupe was performing) - but craved more when "off=the-clock" Talk about a Carnivore diet!! Wow!!! Reportedly, he was known to comment that "live chicken pairs well with a pint of Carstairs White Seal Blended." By the way, Grandma also traveled with Gramps. She was the seamstress - making a good number of the clown suits from her own design and repairing all them when required. So of course Gram and Gran rolled along from town- to -town with a big foot pump operated sewing machine in their trailer, - in addition to all the pots, pants, cutlery, stirrers, etc. My Dad was born in a campground in Posey County, Indiana, delivered by a local midwife and plopped into a casserole baking dish as soon as Gramps cut the umbilical cord with his second best onion chopping knife. As for me, I married young and did well for myself in doing so. My wife is the daughter of an oiutdoor parking lot magnate in a major city in Ohio. I was dowried with three downtown lots. I've had a comfortable life pretty much doing whatever I want all day while other people collect money on my behalf while sitting down in booths, watching TV, reading (or even snoozing between customers arriving and honking the horns to wake 'em up). Consequently, for awhile, I was able to open a couple of storefront business which specialized in selling "clown suits for the whole family," including custom made if somebody wanted them - and even clown suits for the family pets. The seamstresses I hired used Gram's patterns, of course. . The stores were called "Hem and Ha!" - and with every sale, I usually threw in a copy of one of Gramps' recipes for a clown casseroles, "silly stew," "buffoon bread, "Punchinello Porridge,," or what have you. Of course, they all pair well with seltzer water. Thank you for allowing me to share Laura Spath . Bon apetit!😁
I’m so glad I came across this interview! Thank you @myzerocarblife you are awesome! I went for my yearly checkup and the doctor called me alarmed because my LDL is 188 (he says the normal range is 0-99) my HDL is 73 and when I asked how my triglycerides were he said “perfect they are 122” he want to put me in cholesterol medication and I said NO WAY! I have been doing dirty keto for over two years now! And because of your channel and your tribe I am going to start carnivore pretty soon, I don’t know if I will commit to it for life but I will do it for 6 month and if I feel how I am hearing you all feel ; I am sticking to it!! Thank you again for this channel and for what you are doing! I should mentioned that at some point I was vegan for two years, then pescatarian always high in carbs- one thing that I noticed almost immediately after starting Keto is that my knees stopped hurting and that I was able to go up and down the stairs without fear of falling! Inflammation is GONE!! I am 55 years old #GOTEAMBEEF
I’m menopausal and after being on carnivore and my blood work showed my estrogen levels were that of a twenty year old 😂I’m 56 😊
The only explanation was that my carnivore diet was showing this result because it doesn’t make sense to them.
Thank you for your videos and encouragement. You’re very inspiring ❤🎉😊
Just found your channel. Great. Been carnivore for 30 days. Sciatica and Arthritis has tremendously improved. Can climb stairs in no pain. Now just gotta catch up on all this education. Thank you
Kelly, if you have a chance to interview another carnivore doctor in the future, could you ask about the potential concerns regarding liver health and high fat diets? From what I have read in the research, high fat diets (especially those high in saturated fat) have been linked to poor liver health, i.e. cholestasis, steatosis, etc. Hearing the research related to high fat diets and their effect on liver health has me a bit concerned about the long-term effects of doing a carnivore (or keto) diet. It'd be great to hear a carnivore doctor's perspective/rebuttal to "common health knowledge" on the topic of liver health in relation to the carnivore and other high fat diets.
Thank you for another great video!
I've seen many, many interviews with Dr. Chaffee. The questions that you have asked him are some of the best questions I've heard him being asked. Great video!
THANK YOU Kelly, esp for the fasting and protein discussions! (I know just what duo got things confused re: protein, and protein sparing fasts 😩). Also, just wanted to mention, I airfry beef trim and eat it with meals as needed, and I am a Nanny- and my Nanny toddler BEGS for bites of the beef trim over ANYTHING else! 😘😘😘
Does the beef trim get crispy when you air fry it? If so, can you share what temp and approx how long you leave it in the air fryer for? Thank u!
What duo? The Emmerichs? Maria is overtly anorexic now, I’ve suspected it since I found her about a decade ago.
Adore Dr. Chaffee.....ty for having him on ...
Two of my favourite carnivores - thank you both for your common sense approach and keeping it simple.
I’ve been watching Kelly since she started her podcast. She looks even healthier now than years ago.
I just turned 42 in January too :)
Carnivore week 6. Down 15 lbs / 3.4 lbs muscle gain. Thanks for all y'all do!
I'll have been on carnivore for a year the end of June. No real weight loss results but my A1C has dropped and two months in my HDL went up and triglycerides took a nose dive! I heard you mention that may take awhile to lose, even longer than a year! That was such a relief to hear. I have been pretty discouraged and trying so many things that just don't seem to budge the scales. I know the scales aren't that important but they do give one an idea if weight is coming off and making progress. Anyway, it's a breath of fresh air to hear that it can take a while. Thanks.
Love this new doctor Chaffee on the carnivore scene. Great job Kelly. Thank you both. Excellent info.
He popped up everywhere in the past month out of nowhere. Hadn’t heard of him in the last 3 years.
This is a sign that I need to continue with the carnivore diet because I was also born in January and my favorite number is 42! I'm down 5 pounds...140 more to go. Thanks for sharing the facts! Also have to add that my doctor put me on a statin last year, and I noticed that I was progressively gaining weight with no change to my diet (I am post gastric bypass) and my knee pain increased and that I also had other joint and back pain. I thought the joint pain was due to aging, but after watching Dr. Berry's videos on statin drugs last February, I immediately stopped taking the statin. Since I had GB, I don't eat much anyway, so the excessive weight gain was very confusing for me until I realized that the statin was causing the weight gain, inflammation, and joint pain. After 4 months of being statin-free, I'm still recovering from the damage done to my joints by that drug! I never had a problem with having some carbs in my diet, but now I'm eliminating them from my diet to hopefully reverse the weight gain and joint damage.
I was also born in January and my favorite number has been 42 since I was a child. I guess that's my sign that I should try this lol
Statins are a curse. They cause muscle wasting also. Dementia.
If you’ve ever been on statins don’t bother with a CAC ever. The score will never be accurate.
Statins are from the Pit. Glad ur wiser now!
We love Kelly and Dr Chaffee!
Here's the video of Steffanson saying organ meats are not necessary: ua-cam.com/video/ZmEYBrlOVL8/v-deo.html
My mother used to make chicken livers in gravy and chopped liver too. So I’m used to it and I even like it. It seems that Kelly is allergic to liver and I’ve never heard of that but my sister is allergic to salmon so anything is possible.
Now that I think of it, I have some chicken liver in the freezer and I think I’ll have it for dinner tonight. BTW, liver is very inexpensive. ❤
I'm on my 4th week of total carnivore after after about 5 false starts in 2 years. I've lost 20 lbs from my highest weight but not from just this past month, that's combined. I feel better for the most part but have crazy hot flashes now, they *seem* to be getting better so I hope they are on the way out - I always hot flash going in to ketosis. I finally found a local ranch that delivers pastured beef to my house and that makes life soooo much easier.
Do you think it could be your blood sugar being lower or even too low at points that’s causing the hot flashes? Congrats on 4 weeks!
Dairy always gives me hot flashes. I am menopause age and figured that out before I went carnivore even. Drop that if you have any and see how that goes for ya.
Can I ask how you went about finding local source of pasture raised beef ? Hopefully at a reasonable price ? Supermarket prices would cost me $30+/day, which I can't afford.
@@kirkellis4329 all beef has been pasture raised the majority of its life. It’s only grain fed before it’s slaughtered. Look into it. Some great videos exposing how stores like Whole Foods do fancy marketing language to make you think you are getting more than you are as far as organic.
I eat what I can afford which is on sale grocery cuts and stay about $10 day having mostly steaks, eggs and little ground beef.
Having grocery store meat is still way better than standard American diets.
Also all the big carnivore doctors I follow eat regular meat or recommend eating what you can afford except the ones who have a financial gain via a link or own stock in a farm.
If you are dead set on farm beef try asking on Facebook community groups, look on Craigslist or doing a google search.
@@LMPM0909 Thanks!!
And it's not the blood sugar, I've checked 🤷♀️
This video made me sad ... because it ended! I seriously could have kept watching another hour. I especially love y'all's stance on fasting; I was starting to get sucked into the world of *trying* to fast, and "building up my fasting muscles," but I felt so resistant to it because I really don't like to be hungry, no matter how much "benefit" there might be. So thanks for that sanity check! Question: what do you put in your coffee during your dairy-free times? (I like HWC in mine.)
I have tried salt or egg yolks or butter. But eventually I just got used to black coffee. When I do use dairy, I just use a little heavy cream, though.
Egg is good if you are not afraid of raw eggs! Crack an egg in your mug then slowly add coffee while using an immersion blender is how I do it. I’m sure there’s other ways to make it too!
It gets nice and creamy and does NOT taste like egg.
Butter is a great addition if you’re not skipping the dairy.
Yolks n butter are BETTER THAN cream
I kid u not
And alot of salt
It’s so so so so good
Stickblend for most creaminess
Slowly add the hot liquid (coffee or meat broth)
I have to have it daily now lol
Whole eggs work too instead of yolks but stickblender is mandatory to dissolve the egg whites
I eat 3 eggs, 2T butter, 1/4t salt, some pepper & vinegar in my 12oz hot broth or coffee. It’s a full meal to me.
I was doing just 2-3 yolks but I buy super expensive eggs so the whites being wasted was making me insane. I’m poooor.
I’m so angry! I was born at just the wrong time to fall prey to the sugar industry and the cholesterol fallacy! I’m 55 and have one kidney and live with Parkinson’s. So, I’m not sure about going full carnivore, (protein interferes with absorption of levadopa) but I’m drastically lowering sugar and increasing fat and fish. Thanks so much!!
I don't have to eat liver??? The best news for me of this entire video. This was so informative and helpful!
Liver provides a large amount of minerals
I've been carnivore for 9 years and when I first started out I sometimes craved liver but I don't eat it as much now. I love a good pate now and then. I used to eat liver by the pound and it tasted wonderful so I think I needed it then.
I've had the same experience as Dana. Post menopause I eat a bit leaner.
👍 yum liver pate
How do you cook your liver?
Kelly Thank you for your videos. I love watching you and Dr. Charger and all your guests. Very encouraging.
Great interview. I was under the assumption that extended fasting significantly boosted autophagy. I'll definitely refer back to this talk when I want a refresher.
You are correct. Dr. Fung. Dr. Eckberg, clearly demonstrate the science behind intermittent fasting promoting, autophagy, increased HGH, boosting testosterone in men. I think this interview is focusing on the carnivore way of life Without digging into IF benefits.
@@carlbruhn1772 Dr Chaffee does not recommend fasting, because he says Carnivore mimics our primary metabolic state. I have had extensive chats with him about fasting on Carnivore and he does NOT recommend it nor does he do it himself. But with the amount of food. or being satisfied when eating, can mimic a fast while on the diet.
@@carlbruhn1772 I think the focus was on the fact that IF vs. just zero carb (carnivore) results are same. For most people IF is a way to do zero carb bc they were still eating some carbs thru artificial sweeteners, low carb veggies etc.
Fasting does upregulate autophagy, along with stimulating the release of stem cells, and that is a normal part of human health. But we can also look to traditional societies for evidence. Fasting is extremely common, to such an extent that traditional societies that don't do any fasting at all, intermittent or extended, are rare. For hunter-gatherers, this is often part of a feasting and fasting pattern.
@@joshuarogalski3540 I fully understand Dr. Chaffer. It doesn't change the science of IF and the other benefits it offers.
I am 6 months carnivore and I was doing IF, and I loved it but was still having issues with cravings, not healing well, oxalate dumping, constipation. This last month I have been increasing fat and I am noticing that the diabetic sores I've had for years are finally starting to heal plus it's helped with the constipation. I've been using butter successfully to help with sweet cravings as well. About a year ago I started sleeping with my mouth open so I've been having problems with dry mouth and my dentist told me to use xylitol mints, gum and toothpaste. My teeth were getting weak and I was getting cavities from the dry mouth. I stopped using fluoride about 4-5 months ago. I've tried wearing a guard, taping my mouth shut but nothing works solidly. I have been drinking over a gallon of water a day for more than 20 years. I don't drink anything else. I am finding that my cravings increased because of the xylitol. I don't eat any other carbs so I'm still at less than 10 carbs a day. I want to get off the xylitol but I am worried that the dry mouth will ruin my teeth. I've been so lucky to be 71 and still have all but 1 of my teeth. So what I'm looking for is how nutritious is fat for our bodies, and can you overeat it on carnivore? I still have 20-30 lbs to lose and haven't lost any on carnivore. Plus what to do about the dry mouth. I am pretty sure that I will lose the weight eventually so I'm not too worried about eating fat now because I know my body needs it. I've always had really dry skin & hair, probably because of buying into fat being bad and avoiding it most of my life. It's really hard to find the research on what our bodies get from fat. And of course wading through all the controversy. I used herbs all of my life and they worked good for me when I was younger but they haven't really helped with anything else these last few years except for keeping me off insulin which was huge. I started cutting refined carbs 20 years ago, no bread, pasta, potatoes and still ended up pre-diabetic and there is a huge predisposition in our family on both my parent's sides. I was appalled at the diabetes recommended diet because it called for about 10xs at least more carbs than I was eating. So hopefully Dr. Chaffee you have ideas or can point me to research because as far as I am concerned you are the most knowledgeable and enlightened person/Dr. I've found and I've been researching the hell out of it all. Thank you both so much.
What….. A gallon of water a day ???? WTF !! Do you spend half the day in the bathroom ??? I’m Sure you don’t get cavities because of dry mouth !!! Teeth rot from the inside out !! Poor teeth come from poor diet !!!!
I felt wonderful when I was on carnivore, and I enjoyed the simplicity. However, I stopped because my kidneys felt sore all the time unless I was taking potassium supplements throughout the day. Looking back, I was likely eating too much protein and not nearly enough fat.
How many grams of protein were you eating per day? Also, what foods were you eating?
You could’ve been oxalate dumping… oxalates are from all the plants you’ve been eating in your life. Potassium helps dissolves these
How do incorporate more fat? My kidneys are screaming at me😔
@@petriciahice4838 Wal-Mart sells jars of rendered Duck Fat and Beef Tallow. You could add that when you cook meats. ( The name brand is Fatworks.) Don't trim your steaks or buy low fat ground beef. Eat chicken skin and dark meat chicken. If you eat dairy, use butter.
@@bahba9247 TY
Wonderful discussion 😊
Hey, Kelly! Best dang interview yet. I’m a huge fan of Dr Chafee and his no-nonsense way of imparting. I’m a carnivore, but you and he just bolstered me further!
Kelly, thank you SO much for this interview. I've been carnivore for about 9 years but recently been gaining fat around the waist. I'm going to make some changes. I've been getting off track listening to the wrong people.
Did you introduce any non carnivore foods into your meals ? I mean what did the "wrong people " tell you ? .
@@uaebifvideo5472 I hardly ever ate anything but carnivore but have been getting into fasting lately and drinking too much coffee with whipping cream. I'm going to cut way down on those and gradually quit them all together.
@@julieellis6793 heavy whipping cream is very bad for fat and weight gain especially in the mid section. Get rid of it ASAP.
@@marilynjones5749 actually, I believe it has been the coffee more than the cream because I gave up the cream for a while and didn't see any difference. I believe that my body has just gotten more sensitive to plants, so I'm gradually giving up the coffee, which I don't really want to do but I will.
@@julieellis6793 Coffee (even decaf) is an Avoid on the Blood Type Diet for O's. It interferes with the insulin function.
Thank you so much for sharing! You are the "girl next door" that EVERYONE can relate too.
This podcast is the best I’ve listened too,I will definitely listen to more of Dr.Chaffe’s videos
Awesome content! Kelly, your kids and school are so lucky to have a vibrant, healthy, happy mom and teacher such as you. I’m getting gold nuggets from your channel. Thank you! 🌹
I ate predominantly vegetarian my whole adult life. Never had a sweet tooth as an adult so ate mostly savoury foods and vegetables. I LOVE vegetables! I developed arthritis and other autoimmune issues. I finally decided to try carnivore after researching ( I’m not good adhering to meat all the time) despite a few stops and starts, I cannot believe the difference in my pain and strength! I am pushing to cut out more carbs now and keep the improvements going. I definitely don’t want to go backwards!
Great interview with Dr Chaffee. I’m happy you introduced me/us to him. Subscribed to all of his channels. He’s absolutely amazing
9:04 if Kelly would act a little immature people would think she is 20 or 21 years old.
She is beaming and looks so happy and blessed.
I love this conversation so much 💜 I am back to carnivore for the 10th time 😣 I keep slipping backwards and it’s so maddening to me. Sugar creeps back into my face every time 😩 I love red wine and that is always what unlocks the gate to misery. Ok besides that, I took note to everything I am still incorporating into my diet that I may need to say goodbye to…I would love to know if this list is definitely no no’s OR if some of these are A Ok 👌🏻: Bubly, Mushrooms, Primal Kitchen products such as Avocado Mayo and Sugar Free ketchup, Mio in my water and Re-Lyte electrolytes made by Real Salt …… I am 53 years old with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and I am currently in menopause. Oh and I have Decaf coffee with drops of Legol’s Iodine & bio optimal grass fed collagen Each morning.. 😁 Kelly ALL of your content is AMAZING please never stop helping us all 🌸💜
Look at what Dr. Cywes says about your list. Do you need it, does it keep you on keto? Do you use it as a bridge or just because it tastes good? Could you live without it? Start dropping some of the things on your list and see how you feel. If you feel better, maybe they were causing inflammation or causing you to still crave carbs. I see things I would automatically eliminate because they would cause me inflammation, but you are the one that needs to do the elimination and testing. Good luck.
Dr Cywes is great! Also, Dr Vera Tarman has great videos on the addiction of carbs and sugar. Her Food junkies has helped tremendously.
Dr. Chaffee said no plants or fungus. I am fighting to wean myself from sugar alcohols because they excite a cephalic insulin response, and my labs for A1c, glucose, and insulin resistance were pretty bad last month. So I'm with ya... it's tough, but I know it will be worth it.
Same, backwards with the alcohol but everything else is on point. Let's kick it out!
🥩😋❤
Oh my ! I read your post and it’s the same struggles I’ve had . Wine is my down fall ! Even once or twice a week . I just need to stop it and refocus!! We can do it ! 😊
I eat meat butter eggs and so does my husband and we also eat low amounts of fruit our inflammation markers are so low and A-1C is 4.7 ! my grandmother ate fruit and was diabetic type 2 and lived to almost 100 mentally sharp and physically able to do everything! She just walked daily . Fruit does not make me crave more fruit or sugar ! I’ll do what Dr PauL Saladino does and even Dr Berry & Neisha Berry as they do eat small amounts of fruit and even some low carb vegetables not everyone needs to go full on carnivore!
What do you eat for breakfast?
Dr. Chaffee is the main man in my life because he sticks to carnivore, is an educated medical doctor and a functional medicine practitioner. He knows all sides. I listen to others but if I'm working on gut health, I don't want anything but meats, water, salt, and right now, coffee and heavy whipping cream (for now).
Post note: The heavy whipping cream I'm using in my coffee causes a lot of phlegm, bloating, and apparently insulin spiking as Dr Chaffee said, keeping me almost out of ketosis. I can do without the dairy if I quit coffee. That's my main downfall right now; I'm a coffee hound. I just started carnivore after low carbs so right now I'm keeping my coffee. I'll work on that when I'm ready, hopefully soon. First step is to cut down on how many cups I have each day. I drink coffee all day long but not enough water. It's a mental thing with me, a comfort food. One step at a time..
You can learn to love black coffee.
I know this is an old post but...
rather than heavy cream try Kerry gold butter (my favorite) or ghee. Heavy cream does this to me to, but no problem with the butter.
Yay!!! So great that you had Dr. Chaffee on. I found his channel recently and love him. SO refreshing. Great video, I will watch it again later as well. Thanks again.
I just had a fasting insulin, first time ever, 4.3.
Reference range was optimal 19.6
Test population must be all diabetic!
I’ve been Clean ketovore for 6 months, I like desserts of olives and sauerkraut with cheese or non sugar yogurt with some nuts. Otherwise OMAD fatty meats and a bullet proof coffee. I am not hungry except meal time and my addictions are gone. Fatty liver healed, mood elevated, 40 pounds lost in space, autophagy shrinking my skin and dissolved skin tags. My energy and my balance is back to superlative. Thank you both!
That's awesome! I'm curious what age you are? (I'm doubtful that I can lose this meno muffin top!)
@@vanillaghetto I am 67 going on 17, as I joke. Because I now weigh and am shaped just as I was in high school. I walk moderately as my exercise to enjoy the neighborhood and sunshine.
I’m retrospect, because I grew up in the 1960’s as a military enlisted dependent, we ate a lot of cheap (fatty) meat, a vegetable and potato and a salad with olive oil and vinegar (too poor for bottled dressing and too poor to afford sweets and snacks). Our once a month treat after shopping at the commissary was a half gallon of ice cream spilt 6 ways and devoured all at once. We had lunch daily and we could not afford breakfast cereals and skipped it unless it was a weekend and Dad fixed bacon and eggs. My mom was not an energetic cook. We were intermittent fasting with our time restricted eating long before the scientific data rolled in😁.
My body is back to where it used to be, and I remain focused on my blood sugar. I weigh in monthly and am satisfied that for the first time in 37 years that my pregnancy weight gain is GONE WITHOUT YO YO DIETING, eating food that tastes great and is satisfying. I am convinced a stable, normal blood sugar promotes happiness. Thank you for asking, I’ve added you to my prayer list and pray your journey to optimum health with be successful and satisfying and you would seek the assistance of our Creator to attain and sustain it. Bless you♥️🙏😊
@@barblacy619 Thank you, Barb...for the background info, and for the well wishes! Maybe at 59.5 there's still hope for me! I've definitely had the exercise and meat part going on for decades...need to work on the wine and cheeto part😂
@@vanillaghetto You can do it! Keep studying the science and repeat after me when looking at processed food with longing…”That is poison, now why don’t want to eat it?”
I think I will permit myself ___ounces of wine per ____ AS LONG AS it does not trigger junk food relapse, then sip slowly with some cheese or meat as the junk food substitute. 36 years of WW did teach me a few tricks even if their diet plan was flawed! Low fat indeed😘 that idea good bye. Blessings!
@@barblacy619 Thanks Barb! 😃👍
