What a fabulous post to hear you have gotten your life back. I 'spos you can count on 30 years of life. What ya gona do? At least fly with the wind beneath your wings.
Only 5 weeks in & looking forward to better sleep. I had stopped sugar months ago & noticed no BO then. Also Norwegian roots so sun burns have always been a problem. So I hope this will be a thing of the past. Thanks for sharing your subtle changes
11 months carnivore, no sun burns, no body odour, no passing gas, no more facial hair! ( female so this is a good thing!) Better nails, thicker hair and much better skin! . It really makes me wonder what I was eating to cause all the issues.
Thanks :) Pretty wild the no sunburn or the body odor etc... huh :) The no more facial hair is interesting and I think you are the first one that I have heard that from so very cool to hear :) I do wonder also what it was that you ate :) or if its just your hormones are now in better shape balance and not a mess doing odd things (not sure how to word that)
@agiantleapoffaith.. how long did it take for your body odor go away? I'm only a few days in and I feel like I stink more in all places!!! I was just telling my husband that I sure hope this goes away.
@@kristenmayo1289 I know some get bad breath etc.. keto breath for a while when starting with googling that maybe :) the less BO thing was more one of those HUH I don't have that much of an issue anymore but do want to think it was maybe in that 3-6 month phase? thanks and hope that helps :)
@@kristenmayo1289in my experience the body odor went away after 1 year 8 months, Yeah, that long. My sister on the other hand, like 3 months. And if you go back to the way you eat before it comes back.
74 years old, retired from work because of vx mandates, 78kg's, 6' tall, no regular prescribed medications, was in maritime construction, have been Aus., Army, as well as self employed mechanic, not everything I eat is carnivore, but very low carb, minimal sugar no wheat products, I have colourful veg, plenty of beef, lamb, chicken, pork, no processed meats, always check ingredients in foods. If ingredients are described using numbers or chemical names I don't touch it. Well, 3 months I'm back in my gym doing weights, cardio, feeling great! Wife and I divorced 32 years ago, got 4 grown kids 8 grandkids, 3 great grandkids, up and down east coast Australia. I cruise up and down the coast on my fat bike, visiting family and friends as if I'm still in my thirties, was going to say twenties but I don't ride like that anymore and expect to live, anyway, I find that without a good steak or similar I just don't seem to feel as energetic or as quick minded as I should. Rock on all you old souls.
Congrats :) I am one of those that is stict carnivore BUT I am also OK with folks doing what you do :) so truly congrats again I just never liked veg or fruit only pastas and breads and those I think are worth avoiding at all cost :) When you cant pronounce or have to think about how to say it with ingredients cant be good for ya ;) hahahaha so that eat a carrot with some sauce made from egg yolks and butter or something that simple is the way we all should be eating or like me just the meat if you are Ok with it but we have to be happy as mental side of our health is HUGE Interesting on the last comment about the steak :) but that is the thing listen to your body do what works for you :) and even with me I try to tell folks you have to find YOU and YOUR Optimum and that might take a bit The riding like you are in your 20s yeah me at 60 back into my bike riding taken a few hits and OH it hurts worse and heals slower Destroyed a front rim first week and said OK calm down just have fun hahahahahaha so can so relate :) I might feel like I am young but do know at 60 when the body meets the ground I am not hahahaha
That’s awesome! But, you’re not carnivore which is eating meat only. Sounds like you’re into eating whole foods, absolutely great. Carnivores don’t touch plant foods or products at all. My friend tells everyone she’s vegetarian but she loves fish, not sure what kind of vegetable fish is, lol. As long as you’re healthy you don’t need to put a label on it.
@@Dr_Oleg_Kulikov hahaha thanks :) actually I do use tallow shave cream so half way there :) Noble Otter right now is my fav brand Brush and bowl and DE razors for the win My boy made some soap at the homeschool co-op as they are into that quite a bit and been thinking of making my own tallow soaps in the near future as I do love them so much
Making me envious when you talk of the bike rides 😂. And this from a 65 year old retired Irishman in Thailand with a GS1200 BMW just back Australia. I’m in the early stages of OMAD carnivore. Catering has become so so simple. Rib-eye, bacon and eggs dominate.
I'm now 68 after having gone keto for nine months and then carnivore for the last couple of years. Lost 30 kg and my floaters and tinnitus are so greatly reduced they're barely noticeable. Teeth health is terrific and I constantly feel well. It's great being able to go outside without having to use sunscreen. I walk the dog for an hour early each day and then come home and eat breakfast at around 8:30 a.m. Then I get stuck into my day's activities for the next five hours and have linner (lunch/dinner) at around 2:00 p.m. That's it. I feel no hunger or desire to eat anything further until breakfast the next day. Food prep is so easy - just take the meat you want the next day out of the freezer the night before. It's fantastic having so much extra time in the day to enjoy life. Carbs and sweet things stopped tempting me long ago. Carnivore life is great!
That's about my routine, too. I stopped reading because of the floaters and now they're gone! I've been carnivore for 3 months. I also lost all cravings and easily gave up a 3 pack a day smoking habit. It's like I never smoked! I didn't need to lose weight, but I noticed I've lost 8 lbs and I had to take in all my clothes.
@@Observe555 Yes, the weight loss slows when you get close to 'optimal' weight - kind of like your body knows where it should be! 🤣It's great being able to eat hearty meals without having to worry about putting weight back on.
Great video which helps carnivores like me who don’t know any other carnivores in person. I am a 63 year old woman who has been animal based for 2 years followed by 1 year carnivore. I have many physical changes for the better but by far the biggest plus for me has been psychological. Since my early 20’s I have taking prescription citalopram due to high anxiety. Heart palpitations, panic attacks and constant tearfulness. Once animal based I was able to give up carbs and alcohol. Once carnivore I took 7 months to gradually wean myself off of citalopram from 40mg /day to zero without any negative effects. All the anxiety I experienced has gone despite nothing else in my life changing. It’s truly miraculous to me. 🎉.
thanks for sharing :) tha is awesome to hear about the meds as so many think they have to be on them for life or told its life and a simple diet change seems to be the key to also unlock so much more besides weight loss ! the weight loss while great and often tied to our emotions and psychological side those last two are stand alone issues so many Carnivores have faced and overcome :) I wanted to start interviewing folks about their changes :) if you would be up for it the more voices we have the better but also no worries if you do not want to :) on my About tab you can scroll down a touch and hit that email you have to do the not a robot and captcha thing :) but if you would feel free to send a email and a quick reminder of this comment :)
That's so great!! But IF you want "more changes" for the better..try the "Lion Carnivore diet"..>>> Pure red meat, salt and water ONLY..(& you might want to check out Jordan and Michaela Peterson's testimonies, of going "Lion diet" too.. Just a suggestion here..Wishing you well!!
@@NikkiDawes-x2t thanks for asking. It’s been a continuous tweaking of my diet and still is, mainly due to trying go keep my guts happy. I have had a lot of inflammation and discomfort over the decades and I seem to be very sensitive to foods. I tried eating only whole foods, but still had problems. I did low fodmaps, then keto and only found full relief by going zero plants. I’m now experimenting with beef and lamb only, since I suspect the belly pork and chicken is less satisfying and may be causing some gassy symptoms.
Dude, I’m 55 and this video is almost everything I’ve gone through as well. When I tell people all of the things that have changed, they look at me like I’m crazy.
thanks and WE ARE NOT ALONE! its also interesting to me how medical does not know? not educated on nutrition? or lying? or what it is ? like the protein spots were annoying and was told nothing you can do or the Tinnitus another annoyance nothing we can do or the just buy dandruff shampoo ! and so many more all based on proper nutrition !
Gray hair is actually going away. It's insane. No heartburn. Vision is way better. So much stronger. I sleep better. Focus is crystal clear. Muscle mass is returning. Face has thinned out.
Im 42 and only been on high fat Carnivore for a short while, but my morning erections have come back like in my teens and 20's. That's got to be a good sign for my heart health.
All of this plus more. Lost 120lbs, stable weight for 6 years. Just took up cycling and running, it's great to be able to go for a 4 of 5 hour bike ride and feel fantastic. I'm a 63 year old cancer survivor just living a dream.
thanks and getting through Cancer and new health can not be put in words :) yeah me at 60 being able to do what I do I never thought possible again :) especially my bike riding past :) love two wheels :)
My N of 1 During the extreme lockdown here in the Philippines, January 2021 I was obese type 2, 94Kg/207lbs, (I’m only 5’6”) with pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. I was suffering from metabolic syndrome. I understood the comorbidity I had as a 57 year old would greatly affect me if I contracted the Rona. I had to lose fat, reverse hypertension, reverse my NAFLD and reduce my HbA1c. Sitting in my armchair at the beginning of lockdown I saw that the keto/ketovore/carnivore diet claimed it could ‘cure’ my ailments. I watched a bunch of videos and tried to understand the linked papers supporting the claims. End result was that it simply made a lot of sense to me. After procrastinating for a couple of weeks I saw a video by Ken D Berry, MD where he said ‘Just do it’! … so I did 🤓 8 months later, whilst still sitting in my armchair (most of the time). I had lost the 30kg/66lbs of fat that was required to get me down to a ‘normal’ BMI, I GREATLY improved my blood pressure to the point it raised my wife’s eyebrows, she’s a First Responder. My blood sugar was well back in to the ‘normal’ range and I vastly reduced inflammation. I also reversed IBS that had controlled my life for 40 years (I lost jobs because of it), got rid of decades long debilitating heartburn, my Testosterone went up drastically and I stopped snoring … my wife is happy 🤓 I was ‘foggy’ & forgetful, possible early stage MCI, I sometimes also slurred my words and forgot what I was talking about mid sentence, this has completely reversed! Undiagnosed but recognised by my family I got out of a bad case of lockdown depression. A few months ago I further decided to cut out most vegetables from my meat heavy Keto WOE, only adding on occasion a little onion, garlic, green peppers and tomato for some flavour… always salting to taste. Improvements are continuing with a pace with better mental health, blood markers, skin conditions (skin tags have also disappeared) etc. Most recently I have noticed pain improving in my back associated with osteoporosis in my lower spine. I don’t sweat like I did, slim or overweight. Also I am using old prescription glasses as I can see through them better, also eye floaters are disappearing… possible eyesight improvements? Simply eating nutrient dense meat, HEAVY in animal fat, eggs, seafood, salmon … single ingredient real food is all it took … Whilst cutting out processed food, sugar/carbohydrates and seed/‘vegetable’ oils and most dairy. We THRIVE when eating our evolved, species specific Proper Human Diet along with some intermittent fasting to mimic the way our ancestors survived. I’m sure there are thousands upon thousands of people that have similar anecdotal stories to tell … Please tell them … get the message out there!
WOW great story and journey thanks for sharing we are close in age then and yeah like you the old glasses are better and I really need to get in and get new ones ! I do hope the floaters go away quite a few other parallels with us :) if you ever want to do a interview go to my about tab and the email link (you have to do the captcha stuff) but send a email with quick reminder of this would be a great story to share also like me starting this last few months start a channel :) it took a LOT to make me do it still have to get better consistency of videos out but I know we need to scream this from the mtn tops that this WORKS !!!
Wow and lol, I've been on mostly aninal products paired with dairy, pickles and kimchi for a little more then 2 weeks (my actual goal was going gluten free and starch free but that sht is in almost everything and I am not the biggest Fan of Broccoli) ny age is 28 and before those weeks not too long ago I noticed I had many floaters and now there is only one left 😂 idk if it has been random before though.
62 yo female (5'7") carnivore for 8 months now. I do daily IF and usually eat 2 meals a day. One all eggs and my evening meal is chicken thighs or beef. Went from 190 to 144 so far. I am down to the same weight I was after my 2nd son was born. I feel better than I have in years. Don't let anyone deter you from following the carnivore way of eating.
Hi.... I'm a 69 year old female, who has been CV for 8 months. I've only lost about 5 lbs...it's frustrating. I eat 2 meals a day. Don't have much of an appetite. I can't say that I feel any better than before CV. I wish I could say that I do. Still I won't give up.
@@lynnemilazzo3904 thanks for sharing I would also ask for nonscale victories how do you feel? any better joints better clothes fitting better? anything that was more chronic better? some do not lose much but rare I know even Dr Chaffee has said this or takes a LONG time to heal depending on many things He even mentioned this above also in one of his recent live QA as many do focus to much on scale weight and not on size and feeling during the healing process again not denying anything you said :) just sharing trying to help :) so what exactly are you eating? how many times a day do you include dairy? if so have you stopped eating dairy? and just done just ruminant meat salt water how much are you eating a starting point that many agree on is 1gram of protein per ideal pound of body weight as a starting point and fat at 1:1 since fat has more calories that works out to be a good starting point and you might have to adjust up or down and along the journey adjust some also, the ratio of fat to protein and getting too much protein seems to be something some do so try to stick to the fatty meats for me when losing the most I was eating more fat than I do now I for sure believe you just trying to help with what I can from my own experience
Carnivore for 63 days now. I am down 45 pounds and have really started to notice all the benefits. Also been doing one 48 hour intermittent fast each week. My energy levels have really gone through the roof. I find myself constantly searching for things to do. I am even riding a stationary bike for 30 minutes each day. Truly loving the carnivore lifestyle!
thanks and have to ask did you think the 45 pounds and all that benefit would happen from just eating meat ? for me was NO WAY if someone told me before hand :) so glad to hear stories like this so more can see its NOT just a few of us but almost all that do this and get so much more the 48 hour fasts hats off to you as those are tough to do :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore I was expecting to see some benefits based off doing an Atkins style low carb previously. My body has always felt better when doing low carb but I have never experienced the results like I have doing carnivore. My family & friends have been blown away by my results. My son has even started the carnivore diet. There truly is something life changing with this diet!
@@MinimalistCarnivore I know you're aware that Initially, we Drop a lot of water weight followed by other biological adjustments that will occur incrementally to include our focus on other areas such as our physical attributes i.e. exercise and neurological changes taking place as a result of correcting our diet.
I'm 52 and just started carnivore 4th of July. I was 214 (the heaviest EVER in my life) and on amlodopin for my blood pressure. In just 3 weeks of only Beef, bacon, butter, eggs, salt, water I immediately noticed the following: 1.Able to go OMAD with no carb cravings 2. Zero bloating 3. Lowered BP - off amlodopin after 3 weeks 4. Steady energy through day 5. Weight at this time is 194 and trending lower. I am super stoked to continue and reach my goals of reducing visceral fat and attaining a super defined mid section. I was able to go cold turkey and drop all fhe harmful sugar loaded foods and energy drinks. Never going back to that garbage!
thanks for sharing and awesome to hear the good results I do think the going as clean as you can to start like you did over what many myself included might have fallen into to many pork rinds to many "carnviroe" snacks ! so congrats on that clean start for me its also why I say try to get away with that but if it helps cool as your fast results are more the norm on that clean good carnivore ;)
maybe 214 toned. most of us extra weight is excess fat. I have read that carnivore replaces fat with greater muscle tone and increases bone density. I agree with you. 214 for 6'4" is normal. @@virtualpilgrim8645
Over a year carnivore, I'd add that the fat I had in the love handle area just evaporated, I'm the leanest I've ever been. Another notable thing, I'm fat & protein based metabolism, so if I have to leave the house without eating I'm energetic, not hungry, my energy levels stay high and stable, and whenever I get around to eating is fine, a complete difference from on a carbohydrate based metabolism. And my vision is perfect.
@@danbutcher8879 No. I don't give out my age but let's say at my age many people have other than perfect vision, including both my parents and my son. I do believe how I eat contributes to keeping my vision perfect. My intuitive opinion.
For those who don't know, Astigmatism is related to the SHAPE of your eyes. The astigmatism getting better is likely due to reduced inflammation, therefore reduced pressure on the eyes. Pressure on your eyes will obviously effect its shape. So, less pressure equals less shape deformation. I have astigmatism, and sometimes I like to gently press on the sides of my eyes without glasses, and if I do it just right, I have PERFECT vision. It's wild.
Thanks I knew it was out of round did not think about the inflammation but that makes sense :) thanks for that I know the insane headaches I used to get also do think so much of that was all related Hahahahahaha OH to funny about the pressure on the eyes if I press on the lower part it gets more clear not perfect but better :) I wonder how many do that :)
I had glasses in 3rd grade lol I’m 60 almost. No inflammation back then. I wasn’t fat either (very few kids were). So I’m not sure how much inflammation BACK THEN had to do with it, thru my youth either. I was mid40s before my body hurt anywhere, in the least.
I’m Carnivore for 5 years, born in Sweden 🇸🇪 grew up in Florida and living in Canada 🇨🇦 for decades. Carnivore resolved my type 2 diabetes. The most difficult thing is to convince others, especially family members (not in my household) that Carnivore is amazing. So I try not to do it anymore. I’m happy about your story. It surely helped you tremendously. Mental is excellent, and physically it’s great because I’m almost 57 (March 31st) and work new home construction just north of Toronto doing 8,000 some steps per day. That is much easier compared to some 6+ years ago.
thanks :) my wife is Canadian :) Vancouver area I am Swedish by blood :) just fun trivia yeah I hear ya on convincing its pointless they see you know you are doing so well yet do not want to believe what they see IMHO that brain washing they got about what is healthy is that strong that they truly will not believe someone they know over something the gov told them :) at our age I am sure you feel like OK this age is not so old anymore the feeling young again is something NO other way of eating made me feel that alone is just amazing to me NOT feeling old anymore and not having all the body aches and like your 8,000 steps I do about 3 mile hike like its nothing but wakes me up and I feel good truly mind blown on that alone :)
Dr. Ken Berry said don't tell family and friends, they won't understand! I made the mistake telling my sister and she went bonkers! You'll die of heart failure because Google said 'bad diet'. Lesson learned. The sad part is she is over 100 lbs. overweight with tons of medical issues. Maybe someday....
@@WFSDNO I'm trying to beat this resistance by telling people that the conventional wisdom is all wrong. Talking about the 7-day adventist church and their unscientific, religious ideology. Talking about the Ancel Keys and the 3 Harvard nutritionists who were bribed by the sugar industry to demonize saturated fat. And finally the overlapping financial incentives that Big Food and Big Pharma have nowadays. I've had some success with my coworkers - haven't tried on family yet.
35+years of gastrointestinal pain gone. Itchy scalp gone Hyper anxiety gone Volatile blood pressure gone BP meds gone Constant hunger gone Heart palpitations gone Heartburn Spasms of abdominal muscles gone Foot/leg spasms gone I’m eating lion diet minus salt. Salt still makes for elevated blood pressure and water retention Hoping that in a couple months my sensitivity to eggs and all dairy (even butter) will subside. Thank you for your hard work ❤
thanks and pretty wild :) you reminded me my BP is perfect now ;) inserting on the salt :) that Lewis and Clark video when talking about salt how Lewis said he was indifferent about it :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore I forgot to add that I was able to do 20 deep knee bends yesterday and had only one aching muscle today. Trigger point massage on it released it immediately. I have a lot of abdominal scar tissue from osteomyelitis of the sacrum and the subsequent debridement that necessitated cutting through the SI joint in 2015. I’ve never been able to do deep knees bends without days of deep, severe aching, NSAIDS and a heating pad. Several weeks of beef and water MUST have taken the inflammation away so working and stretching the scar tissue is not so dreadful.
@@ultmiddle4991 WOW that sounds gnarly! but glad to hear something has changed on that! a few of us carnivore folks are going to do a fun add some muscle challenge thing as I truly want to get to that next level and make it a lifestyle long term not just an oh for a month thing for me lifetime changes!
@@MinimalistCarnivore Count me in with permission to modify any move to fit a 70 yr old. I truly believe I developed that osteomyelitis because of the decades of digestive tract harassment with high carb high fiber eating.
@@ultmiddle4991 Yeah will be posting it soon I think the idea will be with about 4 of us in various stages that are on YT a base to get word out and hold each accountable in a FUN way :) Also with a few of us if any one of us has something happen or emergency injury the others are there :) and we all get along really looking forward to it most likely have a live every 2 weeks? maybe every week? hear how folks are doing and really just a fun support group of like-minded folks getting together and sharing how it is going through ups and downs and realizing some will have higher goals and some just want to move more
Going carnivore taught me what it means to be "full," that is, the feeling of being satisfied after a meal without a full stomach, something I had never experienced before. On a traditional diet, and to a greater extent on a vegetarian diet, you can practically eat until your stomach hurts, and even then crave more food, not to forget how hungry you are again a few hours later. This also taught me what hunger is, as something distinctive from cravings, and as the cravings disappeared I became aware of the difference between the two. I no longer panic when I feel hungry, e.g., at work, because it mostly goes away within an hour or so, and when I finally get home I'm still not desperate to eat. Cravings, on the other hand, which i used to have, are much more difficult to resist. Finally, it taught me what digestion is, when before I considered that the faster food went through the stomach/intestines the better the digestion, without understanding that it could be a sign that the body wanted to get rid of content it did not want. Especially when it comes out as much as what went in. Laxatives are not digestive. Digestion is breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. My first few months as a carnivore I thought I was constipated, something vegetarians had warned me against, and less came out than went in. However, I felt healthy, no stomach ache or bloating, so I concluded that for the first time I had a fully functional digestion, i.e., absorption of nutrition.
yeah, it does Why I use the word Satiated so much :) vs Full you can get that belly full like you said and still be wanting :) Great post and spot on about the hunger Also for sure does not become an emergency OH NO I have to eat I think the cravings take some time and I do know some still have them the digestion thing is also spot on :) with no gallbladder if I go over fat I know my body is getting rid of it and when not it is almost strange to realize your body can truly extract all the good out of your food is something many find odd after what we have been told thanks for the awesome comment :)
Yes! For me, I have noticed the same, pretty much everything you said, plus my rings fit after years of inflamed joints from brewing arthritis now abated, dental health greatly improved, chronic paralyzing anxiety and IBS disappeared. I just feel and look more like myself, the version I lived with in my 20’s and haven’t seen since, if that makes sense. I was the biggest Foodie ever - like, I left the city life for a farm to grow and raise my own food, process and store everything Foodie - and now I rejoice in the extra time for so many other passions, and my vibrant good health without the burden of all it took to feed us. Carnivore upended my life but it’s a freakin miracle in so many ways. The last thing is our grocery bills have gone way down. We buy a side of beef and whole lamb and pigs for the freezer, raise and butcher chickens, also buy butter, sardines, and a few other things. Maybe a few veg from the farmers market for my hubby. I know one thing for certain, processed food is addictive, expensive, and dangerous to our health, so amen to saying goodbye to that garbage 🥳 Thanks for sharing. This can be a lonely journey….
thanks and OH the rings so glad you said this! my wedding ring is actually to large now need to size it down :) been married 24 years I have a ring that I got when I was younger in my 20s that I had for ever and now use that in place till I get my wedding ring sized one day :) and even that ring is to large ! slides off way to easy ! shows even when I was in insane shape in my 20s I must have had some inflammation in my fingers ! even my wife came out on this comment as I mentioned the ring to her :) thanks again :)
The point about not worrying, or thinking, about food is a a big one. Carnivore for a month and I'm never hungry, never crave carbs or sugar. Thanks for the channel.
thanks :) yeah I think I never realised how much it took or I thought not all negative but often the center point of conversations with foodie friends I have
Thanks and good deal on starting :) Also check out @OldGuyCarnivore He has been at it and is your age if you have not seen him already :) The old cant teach a old dog new tricks is for sure NOT true with so many folks picking this up who can change their health and life radically at any age :) Keep in touch how its going just start a new post when ya do :) but again congrats to start and just keep moving forward :)
How is the new way of living going? I'm 77 and only 20 days on carnivore, but struggling with low blood sugar. Determined to go for 30 days then assess the results, but a lot of things have improved already.
Thank you for the tip on astigmatism! I'm 79, almost two years carnivorous. Tried today a pair of old glasses going back some 10 years and was thrilled to discover noticeable improvements in acuity when watching TV. I live in Brazil since 1991, now in a small town in Bahia. The local butcher is excellent and cows are grass-fed. Best.
thanks as I just switched to my newer pair which is better close up ONLY my 10 year old pair goes on when I walk away from the computer to see SO MUCH more clear :) that is awesome to have a butcher and sounds like local beef :) I do think the US with its massive import need to do more keep thinking one day retire to the Azores or Portugal raise some of my own lambs and get beef local would be a dream quite farm like with good solid work and great people :) and want it to be in a small village for sure :)
Here's a few things I notice after Keto for almost 3yrs and just starting Carnivore. I used to get chronic, mild earache - gone. 65lbs - gone. Scalp irritations - gone. Eye floaters - almost gone. Tinnitus - still bothersome. I had one tooth that I could tell was going to need a root canal (I've had a few) - now pain free. I always had one eyebrow hair that was sparse - now filling in nicely. Less body odor. Sinus clear - no sleep apnea. Overall a more mellow outlook towards my fellow man... and, I'm happy!
thanks :) as I am trying to interview more people want to get more stories out as I can :) if you would like to come on and share your story my about tab here has my email just put in a small reminder of this post and can get in touch with ya great story to share :) sounds like me awesome improvements for sure
Carnivore for 4 months. No more general anxiety, no seasonal affective disorder this fall and winter, generally feel happy all the time. Have had asthma all my life and used to have asthma attacks every day in fall and winter. After the first two weeks of carnivore I have not had a single asthma attack! My skin is glowing instead of dry and lifeless looking. Enhanced mental focus. I had planned on doing this WOE for only 3 months. Not stopping. It's just so good.❤
Hi🙋🏾♀️ 💯! I also had a embarrassing toe Fungus on my Big toe. I treated it professionally & at home for 4 years! After Beginning Carnivore it totally healed up! Also at a recent routine eye appointment for my "Boarder Line Glaucoma" My eye Dr. Was amazed that she didn't see any signs of Glaucoma! When my Mom & Grandma passed away...both were totally blind from complications of Glaucoma.😢
HI and thanks for that Regarding the toe fungus, I remember a video most likely Dr. Berry had the thumbnail was of a huge yellow nail toe :) so that popped into my head! just funny thought I would share :) but the Glaucoma that is WILD truly WILD and has to be such a HUGE mental lift as that is something that can truly alter one's life! as you experienced with your mom and grandma :) prayers and hugs for you on that one!
Three weeks into carnivore my Arthritis disappeared and my high blood pressure went down to normal levels. I'm 73 and have my balance back to normal and watched my age/liver spots disappear. It's an awesome diet.
Thanks and WOW to hear 3 weeks in feeling better and arthritis and blood pressure getting better The balance thing is great to hear also The age liver spots we had talked about the other day on a live so good to hear some have seen this get better :)
They just cant shut us up can they? I wont stop until everyone has at least heard about carnivore! I get that most people think its crazy, but I just want to get to a point where every human in the western world has heard about this incredible, healing way of life. ❤❤❤
HEY HELLO :) yeah and while I try not to have the wish I started this earlier was not in a good spot so I am here now! you are here now with your channel as well and I am going to get together with you :) this growth is kind of a whirlwind along with my daily life :) but yeah the more the better and glad more are speaking up since I did some of those other things! I know what they did for me it is funny home some won't try it never have but yet say its bad? That boggles my mind well kind sadly its the norm these days :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore Exactly! We can tell people about all the dozens of health benefits and they will just turn around and say, "I'm glad it works for you but it will never work for me." What they actually mean is, "I could never give up eating foods x,y,z......so I'm not going to bother trying.
hahahahaha SPOT ON and the OH its so bad and NO I have never tried it :) when I trid the green thing YUCK experience and I said it was bad painful etc. I got the OH YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG YOU ARE THE PROBLEM or the pain is you healing !! hahaahah and I was like UH that makes no sense healing is NOT about having more issues new issues and PAIN ! and then I would get more pushback :) its crazy I just wish more would try it and know for sure ;) my friends say that to me though NO way I could not give up my pizza or my sauces or my pasta and when I ask would you like to give up your joint pain or migraines they get all the time its a great awkward silence so maybe a tiny tiny seed is planted ?
6 weeks on Carnivore and man what a difference. 12kg down (26lbs) way more energy. better sleep, better mood. theres one quirky little thing, I had a cut on the left underside of my left foot, was there for almost a year. about 2 inches down from my toes. every step i took would tug on it a little so it never got a chance to heal. well 1 month into carnivore it has completely healed. seems a small thing but because of the position of it i thought i would have that for life.
Thanks for sharing Yeah its often the other things that you do not realize HOW many things were wrong with us ( I for sure never thought it would heal so much) The cut thing was very interesting especially having it that long I know my feet and skin massively improved never had the cut thing but huge cracks in dry skin on my heels thought it was just barefoot life but NOPE When you see how much pumice stone and foot care products I would love to take some people that buy those to keep their feet better and put them on a carnivore diet and see what happens :) my guess they would NOT need the products anymore
Mahalo brother for posting this content! I’m almost one year in and just noticed that my floaters are gone. Grey hair is turning dark again, skin is better, sleep is better, and im looking forward to my tinnitus getting better. I’m going to hang in there for sure because I’m losing weight and not even thinking about food anymore. And food bills are smaller even though we eat ribeye most of the time. A hui hou!
Mahalos ;) pretty wild for just eating properly also like you the not having food on my mind is kinda freeing in a way we are not used to and not sweating the OH I have to eat all of a sudden being gone is also nice a hui hou :)
I've done 5 months carnivore 2 years ago, never felt better and reached my goal weight, than unfortunately I decided to introduce a few "safe carbs" and the rest is history, I put all the weight back on and been struggling to get back on the carnivore lifestyle since than! I'm a new subscriber, your videos are very inspiring! I will be 39 on the 31st of August and decided to start carnivore again on the 1st of September! I've learned the hard way that I'm an abstainer! Can't moderate!
thanks :) the good thing is you have done it so you know what it takes and sounds like next time you wont want to go back ! not to say OH a bit of that wont hurt :) Hard Lessons often stick with us :)
I'm now 2 months exactly on my Carnivore journey. I have always had gas. Great volume with hilarious conversation interrupting solos at camp with the boys. Gone. I quit the band. Stress migraines virtually illiminated. Huge energy. Sleeping straight 6 to 7 hours and I can finally enjoy 5 am silence in the house while everyone else is still asleep. I don't waste time on meal prepping anymore. My workout energy is through the roof now. But the most important thing, is that I'm now eating how I want because it feels good, and I regret not listening to my body sooner. I'm 40, but I'll be turning 21 this year!
ahahahahah my first smile with a chuckle for the morning that intro was great :) I quit the band :) nice to have found it at 40 I so wish and sure you do we found it in our teens or younger :)
Hi I’m 66 grandmother able to keep up with the kids much better. I started carnivore diet mid jan ‘24 So much better. My 5 autoimmune diseases symptom s are almost all gone .

My occasional monthly tinnitus is gone My eye floaters gone too! My sensitivity to light better My watery eyes nightly is gone My snoring gone Great mood and much motivation to get daily chores I love your channel and share it with everyone I can 😊 Bless you , Jean
thanks for sharing and congrats on feeling better and making git happen and realizing its never to late to start :) for sure those things we just accepted for so long being gone or radically reduced are one of many things that keep me going its so life changing and do wish I could get everyone to try it :) and thanks so much for sharing to others truly appreciate that :)
enjoy your down to earth talks. I am 75 and been on carnivore for 2 I/2 years. Lost 45 pounds and still have 30 to go but taking it slow because I have neuropathy in legs and can't work out hard. I do go to gym Monday and Wednesday and Friday and walk a slow mile each day. I also have noticed better vision. and better skin. I eat late breakfast and early dinner and never snack (lots of rib eyes for dinner) (sou vied). and Bacon & sausage for breakfast.
sounds awesome :) and thanks :) the old saying preaching to the choir applies to what I am going to say :) but me being over 60 you being 75 know this more than me I am sure we realize things can take time and maybe to say the patience I feel is a good part about this it does happen eventually like I found with loosing more than I was told was possible and truly getting that weight back down!
as a female the fat gets softer and softer and looser then it tightens back and its all gone. its very rewarding... like my body "works like its supposed to" when it never did before carnivore...
70 yr old man here. 15 months carnivore. Many similar changes noticed. I still drink coffee with heavy cream in the AM. I had severe cluster headache syndrome...(They're called suicide headaches for a reason). Neurologists told me there was nothing to do short of extremely invasive surgery and/or ridiculous electrical implants. This is what prompted my interest in this diet, and haven't had a headache in more than a year now. I do have an ongoing sinus issue that began with the headaches, and I'm fairly certain it would go away if I stopped the heavy cream and coffee, But haven't made the jump to a coffee-less morning. Probably will eventually, but I do love my coffee in the morning even though it is an addiction. BPH (enlarged prostate) is another issue i'm hoping will disappear...It is a pain to deal with and affects my sleep. It does seem to be getting better slightly, but we'll see. There's some good data about oxalate dumping and even insulin storing in the prostate, causing inflammation/enlargement, and it takes time to get these deposits out of the gland tissue...Which makes sense. To me, the worst of this lifestyle is other people's judgement. And even though I've lost 40-50 lbs. and have a 32 in waist, there is an overall tendency for others to disapprove of such a radical diet. I guess it's isn't surprising since we've all suffered from a lifetime of indoctrination from experts and authorities pushing every manner of lucrative, "science based" narratives, with little regard for the disastrous results in overall physical, mental and societal health. Anyway, thanks for posting...I've subbed and liked....
thanks for sharing and sub :) so good to hear stories and even things like the BPH that I do not have but others do the more we get info and sharing going on the more we hear others stories good or bad with it and find out what is really the way we should or SHOULD NOT be eating the junk they say is healthy :) funny how we are being lied to (tin foil maybe maybe not) had to google that Cluster Headache I know my migraines were more consistent so not that cluster than thing but can see that also as being horrid worked on boats long chunk of my life we used to joke the difference of being hung over or sea sick is Hangover you feel like you are dead Seasick you want to be dead ! I found the headaches the same way its like you want to die to get it over with (figure of speech) but they were so bad you really did wonder truly if they could kill as you as the pain was so severe I would start throwing up and not be able to function truly scary bad stuff the cream coffee thing is tough my espresso and cream habit did not stop till 2 yrs in to carnivore :) so with ya on you will find it one day I am sure yeah the other people these days I just shake my head and kinda do this hand swipe thing saying look I am proof from being in shape to getting OUT of shape to now back to my 20s and 30s weigh and more important FEEL at 60 of being young no more joint pains no more getting the old body going in the morning climbing out of bed hearing the cracks and pops going down the stairs etc... so that last paragraph is so so so true "indoctrination" and LIED to big time and its still pushed on us and as I keep saying the fact they are trying so hard to say this is bad kinda proves we are on the right path to health :)
Two years on carnivore diet, and it has been transformative, including in many of the ways mentioned on this video. One complication: at 4 weeks, I hit oxalate dumping. Sally Norton's book Toxic Superfoods (and her many YT videos) gives the details of what that is and how to manage it. Getting 66 years of oxalates (e.g., loved rhubarb as a kid and have always eaten too much dark chocolate) out of my system has made carnivore even more life-changing for me.
thanks so much :) 2 years is awesome the oxalate dumping is interesting as I was never a veggie eater more a carb guy but know it happens to some great info to share :) thanks again :)
@@FlufferNutterSandwich Oxalate dumping can continue for anything up to 5 years or more. Sally Norton herself, who was in a really bad state (wheelchair, etc., which she managed to recover from) is still having dumping episodes after 11 years, she says. Discouraging, of course, but on the other hand, the episodes get less problematic (years 2 and 3 are said to be the worst), and gradually one feels so incredibly well when away from the dumping that it becomes well worth the effort. You resolve it with a carnivore diet, by retaining about 50-60 mg of oxalate intake (in my case, that's 2 cups of black tea - total 40 g, and 2 thumbnail-sized pieces of dark chocolate for 25 g, total daily oxalate intake 65] which slows the dumping process to a manageable level. Beyond that, on a carnivore diet, the body will heal itself.
@@Druids234 For me, it's mild and easy to manage, but annoying. Daily, I wake up with mild knee pain, but drinking a cup of black tea instantly resolves it. I was just hoping to come off of caffeine, but until the oxalate dumping stops, I have to stick with the tea.
Man, I love videos like this. Been doing keto since November 23 before Thanksgiving. I feel the best I’ve ever felt in my life and I’m 52 years old. No joint pain, eyesight is better, my hair has gotten darker, I sleep better, skin is better, and I’m down 28 pounds. I’m never hungry. I could have cheat meal every once in a while with no consequences. This is a fantastic way to eat.
Here is a "weird" one, day 52 of carnivore, day 23 of lion diet specifically, and my teeth are getting whiter! No more mouth or teeth pain, and my yellowish teeth are getting whiter.
Maybe the enamel is increasing on the teeth. Teeth are made of the same material as bones so it makes sense that bone density increases and so does enamel.
Thank you for mentioning the little things that carnivores experience that most never talk about. It's kind of amazing all the small improvements that most people don't even think about. I don't get canker sores anymore, or cold sores. And I used to get them ALL THE TIME!
YUP its wild all the little things that change and just over eating properly the canker I would get once in a while often if I bit my cheek it would end up a mess and kinda turn into one these days if I do bite my cheek its not a huge deal thanks for sharing :)
Carnivore for 8 months here. Lot of the same results you had. I'll add that I've completely gotten rid of the gout I was cursed w/ for over a decade, and also have no more toenail fungus, which I had for years on the second toe of my right foot. Stress levels way, way down, even though I'm still crazy busy. I do not get sleepy during the day, and during my workouts, I don't want to stop. I've worked out my whole life and have never had this kind of thing happen to me.
thanks :) it is wild to feel this good as we should be feeling :) read a couple others about the Toe fungus and Gout from a few places! my dad has really bad Gout I was not sure if I was getting it but many from reading symptoms to what I was suffering I do think I was I was afraid of the "genetics" my dad had it so I get it and I am starting to think that is not the case and its just them explaining it ? but could be wrong on that :) just have this distrust these days with "doctors" and "science" types who refuse to think Diet plays this big of roles and think medications are the answer :)
Getting rid of the nail fungus is huge. I wonder if others report this. I do Keto with mostly meat, lettuce and eggs. I still have nail fungus. I will try carnivore. I’ve tried everything to get rid of the weird nails.
@@frenchustube maybe @eguttuso1889 can give their thoughts but to me dirty or clean often is one of two things first might be allowing seasonings and coffee maybe a few bites of veggies once in a while etc.. but trying to stick to good food but some might consider it haivng some other foods be it sugars etc.. agian hard to say I know when I started carnivore if I cheated I told myself would only be back to Keto and NOT SAD junk and lucky I did not need to but did test a few things once in a wihile to see what would happen all with negative results the other is they might have treats that are carnivore but might be a lot of cheese or other dairy that many say we need moderation ( I am one that thinks no dairy or moderation) but that is often how I perceive the clean vs dirty but knowing dirty is most likely just not really strict I am pretty strict I do have seasoning in some taco meat my boy has maybe every few months but not that often and usually just a small amount but hope the OP chimes in for ya also
Been on Keto for almost 3 years, best thing I ever done. Always held a rock solid 12 stone on Keto, 2 weeks into changing to carnivore lost 7ib, I’m 48 and looking leaner and better now than I did in my twenties, feeling this carnivore 💪
I did a “carnivore diet back in ‘72 and lost 45lbs. I noticed all the things you mentioned. Heat was no problem cold neither. I looked like I was working out but I wasn’t. I felt great. I read about it in a book by a doctor whose name escapes me now. There was another version where you ate a lot more fat. I felt so good but I used it as a means to win a bet with my brother- in law. I started eating sugar and everything else and was disappointed when I gained some of it back. My whole family is a bunch of sugar addicts; my mom chewed bubble gum (400 pieces) when she was in her thirties and made cakes and pies and cookies and you name it! I was behind the 8ball. Now at 73 I am going back to carnivore. Thanks!
I like your presentation style. I am 76 and have been ketovore for nearly 4 years. I have experienced almost everything you mentioned. This is a great way of life for me.
thanks I appreciate that :) no need to come up with a character at 60 :) hahahaha plus I just like people that are themselves and not this odd fake feeling persona :) great to hear ketovore for 4 years :) quite a few out there who have been long term and great for others to see YES you can do this long term
Been carnivore since last October. Initially started 30 days for blood pressure problems and stayed on it ever since. My joints don’t hurt anymore, probably due to the fact that we have more fat in our diet. My wife and I started together and we each lost 10 lbs. We were quite fit and slim before carnivore. Anyways, we look and feel fantastic and shopping is so much easier. Cheers. 🇨🇦💝🥩🙏
CONGRATS and thanks It has been so life changing for me this is why I stated this was to just get more voices out there :) I try to never say good luck as luck is not a issue :) we just have to say OK I am doing this! Or just make it happen and you will be blown away in a few months and for me those few months gave me the motivation to continue :)
Another great video!! For me there wasn't ever enough carbs or sweets. Nothing satisfied my hunger UNTIL I started Carnivore!!! Mainly it's fatty meats or add butter, Himalayan salt, bacon and eggs! It's amazing how the hunger goes away! Make 1/3rd lb burgers rather flat, or buy them from Gordon's Foods. Cook meat so it's still pink in the middle and it will digest so much better and tastes so great with the salt! Add the good salt! You'll be feeling so much better, weight comes off, sleep is good, blood pressure is normal now, skin condition is much better, energy is so much better! I'm much more positive and think positive and say positive things to myself and others! It works! I walked today, have ya'll? Just do it.
1 ½ yr carnivore after 8 yrs clean veg based keto. Diagnosed with RA. at 67. That’s why I decided to try carnivore. Everything is healing !! IBS GONE IN ANWEEK. 10:06 Itchy flaky ears Gone. Sebaceous cyst on back Gone. Don’t need reading glasses anymore too. SKIN HAIR NAILS ALL GREAT. Age Spots fading!! I’ll be 69 soon and feel better than the last 20 years❤
thanks and started smiling reading all these awesome things and hearing your healing :) truly amazing what can happen with proper nutrition :) I know I was starting to feel OLD like this OH NO this is not fun getting old warming up the joints every morning and so much of that gone and that is something I wish everyone say 50 and above who is feeling old would try this and realize NO you do not have to feel old :) we have the wisdom and the ability to still do things we want :)
Liked and subbed. This video finally did it for me. I'll be going to the grocery store and buying meat in the morning. I've been on the fence for months about whether or not to try carnivore. I'm now off the fence and ready to get my health back. Thank you!!
thanks and great to hear :) I do hope it goes well and I know myself it takes something to make you say OK this is it for me that was a friend and the old sick of being sick just remember that first few weeks adjusting can be tough for some :) but once through WOW its like you come out of this storm you were in for ever and did not realize or remember what feeling good was :)
Hearing of your (and others') tinnitus improvement makes me almost quiver in anticipation of that happening to me. That particular curse and neuropathy are the two conditions that I aim to get rid of. As far as NP goes, my feet usually itch a lot, but since starting carnivore almost 5 weeks ago the itching is nearly gone, so I think my foot nerves are beginning heal and regrow. I am still suffering a lot from the carnivore flu, which mainly consists of hopeless fatigue. Still, my sleep has improved a lot (sleep through the night), my blood pressure has dropped from 130s/70s to 110s/60s, depression and anxiety are greatly diminished. I wasn't thrilled when my weight dropped from 165 to 147 on my 6-foot, 79 y.o. body, but once the carni-flu is over I look forward to bulking up.
thanks and really hope you get that benefit or at least have it greatly reduced :) I know I can never say when some of these things occurred for me as it often is that HUH what its gone thing :) for me I will say this took longer than the weight loss for sure give it time :) the flu things hits everyone differently for sure Just hydrate well and as many say and you might have read electrolytes can help sounds like the sleep is good :) take care and if you do notice other things feel free to share I do think it helps when other people read these and I truly love to hear these stories :)
It's likely that the weight you lost was mainly visceral fat from in and around the organs, which you're better off without. Be sure to include plenty of animal fat in your diet and your weight will normalise. Lift weights to gain muscle.
@@jenswalks I'm sure I lost visceral fat, but my arms and legs are a lot thinner too. I eat 1.5 pounds of ribeye daily along with a stick of butter and snacks of bacon and pork rinds. I drink water with electrolytes. I suppose me weight will normalize once this punishing flu is over. On days that are slightly more energetic a use my dumbbell set and have added upper body muscle even though my weight it stuck at 147. Thanks for your comment.
I'm into my second week on carnivore. I have always struggle with diets as I'm a sugar junkie but i can honestly say after this lifestyle change i no longer have my cravings I've noticed my body is changing and i honestly can't believe how simple this is to follow. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle and in most cases to which I've read.. it's a lifesaver. Good luck on your journey folks. Onwards to wellness/happiness 👌🏻
thanks:) and yeah its pretty wild and even if you get some OH NO thoughts often the feeling better keeps you on track :) agree lifestyle :) or the proper term of diet the way we eat NOT hijacked to be a way to loose weight this gives us weight loss but it also brings us health
Hi! I am now 78 in Finland. 2 years keto and 4 carnivore. When started lost 8 kg in 3 months. Since then no changes. I had very high calcium score but it stopped growing. Played soccer starting 8 year old and still playing. Interesting to read your changes in the body. Some similarities. I dont get tired like my friends, no smelling, no sunburns. Doctors try to put me on statins. LDL is 360. I believe on Dave Feldman's study on lean mass hyper responders. Very interesting!
That's great! to hear agree about the cholesterol levels and have seen some stuff of his might rewatch so thanks for the reminder :) also like Ancel Keys and the cherry picking who paid him that I think was such a tragedy this fat is bad and put the US and many other countries that followed on a course to where we are now ! its nice to see some doctors truly wanting to look at things with open eyes and realize OK they had it wrong I know Dr. Chaffee has said about some folks not looking as old as they are its more this is what they should look like or act like such as yourself not getting as tired we not getting so sun burn its more what we should be able to do as humans that did not just live in homes before but outside working and makes perfect sense we would have had much more ability to NOT sunburn or be as temperature intolerant as we are now :) thanks for the great comment :)
I’m 70 and I have bad health. I’m about 3 weeks in and one of the first things I noticed was my eye floaters are better. I van still detect a couple but they aren’t as prominent anymore. My skin is starting to look better. Still dry and thin but nowhere near like it was. Most of my indigestion is so much better. Wow what a change. I’m sleeping some better. About a week in and started a list of all of my “ailments.” I had binge watched so many different carnivore videos and I kept hearing about all of the wonderful, amazing things that were happening for different people. So I wanted to see what, if anything, would change for the better in my future. I tend to be a skeptic. But I do want to thank you for what you’ve been doing. These videos are inspiring to stay the course. I have a long course as I need to lose about 100 lbs. so inspiration really helps.
HI and you are welcome and thanks for watching :) for the 100 lbs the old saying one step at a time and one day at a time is so so true and soon enough you will be looking back going WOW ! that is awesome to hear about the eye floaters and how quickly they got better :) and of course all the other things I hear ya on a skeptic as there is SO much info that is NOT correct sadly and sometimes trying all these "other" things takes time like I did to find health and the fact this is so demonized and we are told do not do this yet when we do as you know now we find health and vitality a new look on life and so so so many get off meds etc. does make me even more skeptical of all the other lies we are being fed to what is good for us what is healthy again one day at a time and look forward to hearing more :)
61 y/o male, 326 lbs, I started carnivore on December 15th 2023. I also decided to put aside all alcohol. Today: January 2nd, 2023. I have lost 12 lbs (314 lbs). I feel so full and satisfied after I eat that I only need to have 2 meals a day. I'm pretty sure I could easily do with only 1 meal a day. The pain that I always have in my left knee is down by at least 60%. My skin issues are noticeably getting easier to deal with. Starting to sleep more soundly every night. The only negative thing so far is my digestive system is taking some time to adjust, but I hear that can take up to a month or so. I'm not worried about that. P.S. Not bad for 2 weeks P.S.S. I need a deep freeze
thanks and CONGRATS :) Yeah deep freeze is nice to have Yeah digestive can take a while but its worth it And cant wait to hear how its going we are very close in age to :) but its life changing for sure I think once you get that OH WOW this is working and never hungry its easier to keep it going to :)
I did it for a few months a few years ago and really enjoyed it, but fell off on a trip to Japan. 3 days back into it and you're making me think i should inspect my body now and have a detailed log of changes i go through.
well you know what to expect starting up again and do hope you get the results ya want and the log would be great as I get so many questions on time when things happened :) then start a channel and share :) thanks :)
Keto for 2+ years and last month started ketovore. 66yo. Interesting little things: liver spots on back of hand 90% gone, 2 front teeth that moved very, very little (
great news :) the key floaters are interesting as I know mine went away as many others not sure its everyone but they really were a daily annoyance not harmful but nice to have gone! thanks for sharing
I’m 74 and ate anything and almost everything all my life. Fortunately, I didn’t get hooked on sugar, just grains. I have been carnivore one month. I’ve already lost ten pounds and I’m curious to see what else changes! Right now, I’m stiff, have sinus issues, a chronic cough and a lack of energy. Headaches have begun but I think I can blame all those issues on the terrible summer we’ve had. I’ll keep you posted. Thank you for the videos!
Hang in there I have multiple sclerosis and I’ve done this for 28 days now. I’ve lost weight my brain fog is so much better, I’ve find Im getting a good night sleep. I only eat 2 x a day. My energy is up. No headaches no hiccups. Keep going you’ll see changes 😊 I put salt in water if I start to get a headache and it goes right away.
Charlotte please do keep updates :) one month is still pretty early many even have no difference that first month or longer so might take a while for the cough and energy to come back on the energy some find electrolytes help or just upping water intake if you do electrolytes be careful of ones with sweeteners and try to avoid those if you can:) the headaches might be the keto flu sometimes hits us differenttimes and how much it does effect each one of us :) thanks so much and hold on will get better and hope the sinuses clear but that again might take a little while as not everything is super fast :)
Only about two weeks so far, but have lost seven pounds, digestion has clamed waaaay down and was having persistent knee and Achille's heel pain that was resistant to PT exercises which is now almost completely gone. And no more abdominal bloating. Toughest hurdle has been my husband, who is a big oatmeal, bread guy--still thinks that and a giant glass of grapfruit juice everyday is going to help him lose weight and reduce cholesteral--we'll see. Really looking forward to seeing the additional positive effects others have experienced.
thanks for sharing and yeah like you said cant wait to hear how your longer term effects/gains you will have :) haahahahahah OH the grapefuit I used to buy into that :) still want my wife to get on with at least clean keto but not yet :) but one day I hope so your husband might be a long wait :) but yeah eating huge butter steaks did it for me over grapefruit juice for sure :) or oatmeal I also bought into the OH has to be steel cut or the really healthy ones :) hahahhaah Oh what I know now
Thank you for reminding me of all the things my OMAD carnivore diet has done for me. This will be year three. You named off a few things I just realized I no longer experience anymore. Subscribed today. This month is going to be more of a lion diet. The hens are all on the molt vacation, so it's a good time to back off of eggs and dairy. My fridge is so empty! Love this way of living...
Thanks :) And I know I forgot other things truly is wild those “thing” we just one day go HUH I dont have this or notice this anymore :) I so wish I could eat eggs :)
thanks and your welcome i do say its a lot of mental hitting that point or just saying OK today I do it ! that ONLY comes from deep inside each of us who do this but once you do the momentum once we start to notice the change can be mind blowing and keep us going so the first few weeks or for some months waiting for that does take some will power to just make it happen which is that mental side :) easy for me to say START TODAY NOW and hope that does help trigger that to happen :) thanks again
After losing 100 lbs. I was expecting to buy new clothes, but was surprised I had to buy new shoe 😅. Divorce - several of my patients and several colleagues who are obesity or bariatric surgeons have all said they were amazed at the number of divorces. For example one lady said her husband was half the man he was, she want the old husband back. Another lady complained he husband lost so much weight, now he wants sex every week, before it was only a few times a year. Guess she didn't like it. One lady that lost 140+ pounds, then got breast and skin surgery said she felt like a whole new person with new wants, goals and desires in life, therefore no longer matched correctly with her husband of 20 yrs so they got divorced. The numbers of divorces within these groups of people with major weight loss has been a real surprise. And YES, many who were single now felt the confidence to go get married. I've come to learn a person with massive weight / health changes, becomes a changed person. Their actions, emotions, wants and desires in life change along with the physical appearance. Hormone changes play a major roll in emotions.
thanks and hahahahaha about the shoe it took me a bit to figure out I went down a size because of fat feet and almost a 1.5 size really Since I just buy the same shoes I thought they had changed at first when I got a new pair! love the Altra zero-drop trail shoes! I do miss bare feet and cheap thin slippers of the island life but hiking in those in AZ has way to many thorns in my feet that is so sad about divorce never heard that! truly wild to hear but can see it of course, well said about the hormones and emotions and how we change person I do know since I have super strong faith that has kept me super grounded and more back to what I was and I think often any faith one has to lean on can be a huge thing to handling the mental side of this change we go through or even getting through it! when I look at my life I had a rough 15 years was married before it started and maybe that helped as I am really just back to the old person she married ( sure that makes sense)
@@MinimalistCarnivore yes funny but true. I had a lot of edema (swelling / water retention) therefore had to buy a wide width shoe, obviously feet don't change in length so I wear the same length, but now had to go to a normal width for comfort. small detail people don't think about. Yes, divorce is sad and happy event, all depends on the reasons. Right? Think many obese, sick or persons lacking in energy are more likely to stay in a bad or even abusive relationship feeling no one else will want them. However, once they restore the energy, power, strength, health,.....they feel "free", no longer choosing to be where they are not truly happy. Plus, many women tell me guys are starting to look at them who never noticed them in the past. Love God and faith but it is double edge sword. Seen far too many ladies stay with an abusive drunk guy because the pastor told her to have faith and that God only gives us the loads we can carry. Well, after many years in the military, can tell you he also gave us to eyes to see the danger and two legs to run, jejejeje.
I have a saying that people will always tell you who they are; you just have to be willing to listen. Similar to that is I have found that when I am in whatever kind of relationship with a not-so-good person, God will tell me to get out. Sometimes in dreams, sometimes with a scripture that keeps coming to mind, and sometimes both. I think if more people listened to God, there would be fewer abusive relationships.
66 yo male here. Keto 1.5 years, carnivore 5 months. Take regular kefir. Lost 37kgs. Lots of extra energy...so started calesthenics and sprinting 3 months ago. I have many observable improvements as listed here including also an improved muscular chest, defined arms, slim waist more overall muscle, defined legs, more stamina. Before, I had no interest in women. Let's just say it like this... I was proposed to by a female friend and plan marriage at the end of this year. At this age, porque no?.
thanks and I think that is how I often found something gone that something had to trigger it and was like HUH it's gone if like me you try to think when did this happen :) hahahahaha
Thanks for watching and glad it was enjoyable helpful :) love hearing others stories so keep us updated to your journey as I do think so many reading and watching the interviews many of us are doing truly shows this is the proper human diet and the changes we experience are truly life changing :) Take care :)
I have been doing Keto for 2 years and started Carnivore on March 17th 2023. I am feeling amazing. My joint pains are gone, and I no longer need to go to the chiropractor. Indigestion is gone as well. I started doing press-ups, and in the first week, I did 35 per day, which was 5 more than I usually do. I have steadily increased the number every day and did 70 within a few days, I can't believe it! What I added was boron, which was suggested by, Dr. Suresh Khidwadker, one of the many doctors I follow on UA-cam. That took it to another level. I am 67 years young and will never eat vegetables again. No carbs, absolutely no carbs. I have not put sugar in my coffee or tea for at least 40 years. Another effect of this diet is that the plaque on my teeth has completely gone. After about a week, I could feel it coming off, a very strange sensation. Additionally, I no longer have bleeding gums. I only take thyroxine for my underactive thyroid. I hope to get off of it over the next year on this diet. Update 17th August. Recently someone said they now had no ear wax!! I was sceptical but I can confirm this is another effect of a carnivore diet. Strange but true. Watch this ua-cam.com/video/7Y_1fiN-1SI/v-deo.html
thanks :) I have seen that before and funny enough started watching it again a few days ago :) tend to watch things long like this when doing the family dishes so takes me a few days :) because my dishes are done and put back :) hahahahahah I still clean my ears daily left over dive habit I guess but get nil and never have any excess I know my dentist visits they clean a touch but its super fast and not sure if they are more just making sure or I have a tiny bit ? but yeah its kinda like they just do the polish thing rarely scrape anything ever maybe more like a Oh what is here and kinda probe a tooth or two ? I do not notice it like I used to of feel the sensation of it as I used to and sure folks know what I mean by that :) and can never see it on my own teeth these days also I have been reaching out to folks if you would ever like to do a interview would love to have you on :) if not no worries but just wanting to get more folks stories out there on my About tab you can go down hit my email and just a quick reminder of this post what you did the keto to carnivore like so many of us and the Carnivore benefits :) thanks again
Thank you for this. I've been carnivore for only about a week and down 3 kilos and have never experienced such mental clarity as I do now. Maybe it's only a pink cloud but whatever it is I'm enjoying it. Also my tinnitus, which lately was so loud it woke me up at night, has been greatly reduced. I'm feeling better than I have in a long time. I still have a long way - 25 kilos - to go but so far everything is great. I do eat a lot, and often, but only meat (including fish and chicken), cheese, eggs, bone broth. I'm gathering that eventually my appetite will subside but as long as things improve the way they have been I'm fine with whatever.
thanks for sharing and welcome :) my appetite was all over the place and did stabilize some once I hit that maintenance weight I would call it :) but also followed no pattern its like some days I could eat a LOT and others not as much and it was not like OH I ate so much yesterday I was not as hungry the next truly just what my body craved I gave it
I'm 58, I have been a carnivore for almost 4 years, before I started with KETO, but today I am so adapted to meats that anything other than meat makes me sick and the sugar makes me nauseous. I really enjoy meats only with SALT and I add some GHEE on top, delicious, my sense of smell, my hearing and my testosterone improved a lot! Clean skin and no more Psoriasis!
thanks for sharing we are very close in age and time eating this way :) yeah even cream to me I test and have some once in a while I can tell for me is not optimum
Thank you! My journey hasn't been as admirable as yours or some of the other folks in the comments, however, I started carnivore to prevent becoming pre-diabetic and to loose 15 pounds. Also to improve my red blood cell count as it was on the low side of normal range. Had blood test week before I started July 1, and cann't wait to get my next one after my 90 day "protocol". BTW, I've already lost the weight , and looking forward to a fabulous dental and eye exams. So my friends continue to ask how I am doing on "the diet" I'm not telling them again this is not a diet is a choice to feel better.......... yikes. Cheers all and I love your channel. Now if I could get the hair to darken again I will be ecstatic !!!!! lol
At 66 years on this planet. Been doing carnivore for 3 weeks. I already feel like I’m in my 30s again. Thank you for the reinforcement brother ‼️ Tucson Arizona
thanks and very welcome :) yeah you are 6 yrs ahead of me but the feeling young again has been so huge for me and something I did not realize when I started I thought it was just going to be loosing weight and when it turned out to be the fountain of youth effect its why I still eating carnivore 4+yrs later :)
And... morning wood every day. It's the kind of thing people don't talk about, I've seen no one mentioning it. I'm 55. I became consistently low carb (less than 50 g a day) in 2017, but last year I went the extra step and tried carnivore for most of the year. The most striking side effect, almost immediate, was the return of the morning wood. I'm not sure to remember at what point in my life it had disappeared, but it's back now, and it's a nice feeling.
In 2019 I weighted 467lbs, now 160-165 from keto until 10/23 when I started Carnivore. Asthma is much less,had 29 joint surgeries from osteoarthritis, now dont need meds. I look younger, have more energy than I know what to do with
WOW just WOW :) If you ever feel like coming on sharing your story with others let me know can give you my email great for others to hear Curious what the Doctor thought and of course your own self must be mind blowing to lose that much and be a whole new you and shed the meds etc... truly love hearing these stories :)
I'm a 66 year old newbie, two weeks in. The change in my digestion has been amazing, years of gas and roiling stomach, gone. I'm excited to continue. Thanks for sharing your long-term experiences!
Thanks for watching and your welcome :) The great thing is more changes now even still happen :) And glad to hear of you feelinhg better and I can say I truly feel if we all stick with this it just keeps getting better :) For you about 5 years older than me we are very close the other thing I hope you notice is this NOT feeling old having less body aches and joint issues better and just this hard to put in words but better outlook and that is that mental clarity IMHO that so many of us talk about :)
My relationship with food has changed massively. We’re not married anymore and I’m no longer obsessed with food. I eat to live, not the reverse. No hunger no boredom “What shall I eat” nothing like that. I am free😅
thanks yeah its also its wild when you look back think how much time I thought about food look up recipes prep food and shop a certain new dish is often on the hunt and then requires shopping for those ingredients etc... more and more stuff in the kitchen and of course so much less food waste etc...
Watching this just reminded me that I used to have migraines that caused me to go blind in one eye and all I could do was lay down and totally relax. Gosh, I have not had one of those in over a year.
HI and thanks and have to laugh because a few of those were the HUH I just noticed I do not have this or that anymore :) pretty wild when we get used to NOT having things happen compared with before when it was always getting in the way of life :) congrats on that for sure
Im 52. I started caring about myself a few years before turning 50. I eventually found carnivore. Crazy is I have done carnivore gone back to sad and done halfway carnivore with too much dairy. I'm technically mostly healthy. Doing actual carnivore my allergies were perfectly gone, no skin tags, body odor pretty much gone, knees fine, losing weight. Basically lovely. I can't cheat sleep on carnivore and whenever co-parenting mucked up my eating and sleep schedule i had some sad stuff. Yesterday I was running on no sleep and no energy. Fir example and carbs in a meal was a pick me up. Anyway whenever i had my sad bouts, i caught a cold/ COVID. Didn't test. Got a skin tag in my armpit and dandruff in my beard. Basically last school year with my kid i was doing a few sad meals a week but the holidays really hit me off carnivore. Like i was mostly meat based in philosophy but didn't take care to do right most of the time. Recently i had been carnivore with like a half gallon of milk a day. Dog if my skin wasn't great and allergies hit me late in the evening. So quick results. I only had cream and sugar in my coffee today. Oh yeah. Sad makes unpleasant poops. Anyway. Today i am a reformed man. Just the coffee, a little beef and a tea with salt and a half stick of butter. My guts are settling. My knee doesn't know its about to rain and i can breathe easy. Im pretty sure if i chug a half gallon of milk, which is very easy to go through over the course of a day, ill get some sad symptoms. Not all of them. A friend of mine recently had weight loss surgery. I feel like if I'd have been more serious about my own health and stayed proper carnivore my example would have been more convincing. On the bo thing. Ive had occasion to miss showering some days. Before carnivore that would have been unthinkable. Whenever im on strict carnivore im confident for a few hours after the shower with just using Coco butter in my armpits rather than deodorant. I do use deodorant. Basically there were times before carnivore where no amount of showers and deodorant mattered because i just stank. If i stink now i know ive been off my menu too much. If my poop ain't right or my skin flakes i know I went too far. The other day i felt an ache. Yep i ate inflammatory rather than anti-inflammatory. Low self esteem not treating myself my best. Thats over now. Im in a band. I play the trombone well. However my vocals are hindered if im not physically on. I can't have dairy and carbs and a clear enough airway to reliably attack the notes. Im sliding around hunting them. So for my art im going full butter salt meat water. Hopefully to be freed of any physical impediment and get to learning technique. Also, being sad too much mucks up the stage appearance and choreography. One minor issue with carnivore is the clothes fit baggy and my pants fall down.
thanks for that :) the pants to big :) time for stage pants ;) hahahahah what is funny when I started losing I did NOT think I would ever get back to the weight size of my 20s and 30s so I bought some cloths and sure enough dropped more lbs and inches and had to buy more again :) and the previous were sadly just to big to look normal I do think the falling off eating sad often makes some come back stronger as they have that experience of knowing what happens and feeling it :)
Carnivore was a miracle for me. I was suffering terribly from the unexpected loss of our daughter, and my father. I was in a downward spiral. No hope. I was sinking fast. One day, my husband suggested that we eat only meat. Our household began carnivore the next day. We've been carnivore for three months now. We have been living what seems like a brand new phase of living! Faith. Hope. Joy. Health. Love. Smiling. Laughing. We are GLOWING in this house together! Carnivore is the lifestyle doctors won't tell you about! I'm 59 years old, and probably the healthiest now, than I've ever been! It is really strange to clean out the cupboard and refrigerator of all the toxic foods. How am I still alive after eating nothing but poisoned foods for so many years. I literally was loosing my mind and health eating the foods on our shelves! We cleaned out everything! It is a different kitchen! Cleaned up and out! Clear out anything packaged. Anything that is not animal based. Cleaned up, and out of sight. I do not miss junk food. I do not miss all the pretty boxes and bright colors of the merchandise that grabs your attention and gives you no nutritional value whatsoever. Twenty years ago, a doctor told me not to eat fruit from the grocery store! I should have listened then.... But it's never too late to start carnivore! Try it for three months. You will look unrecognizable to EVERYONE you know! Amen.
Hello and thanks that was awesome to hear :) Yeah we are close in age so the new lease on life or the WOW I am not feeling so old now is a game changer beyond belief for us over 50+ I think is when I started to notice it effect my life more Also do you feel lied to or betrayed ? I know I do and realize my whole life we have been lied to about what is healthy and what we should be doing like the eat fruit you were told 20 years ago But agree we are here now and living healthy eating healthy I know also this has made me look at so many other things with a hefty dose of skepticism :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore Hi! It's never too late to be awesome! Do what you know is right. Everyone has opinions. Everyone knows EVERYTHING these days... But! Our mind, body and soul knows what's best. We show by example, and we beam from within! Here's to a healthy life and wellness! I am to a point in my life, say what you want, tell me all your thoughts, and watch me Glow 🌟
@@timewithholly7076 Hahaha love that and so true :) I do think our generation also did not care what others were doing as long as they did not push it on us unlike today so I think we have a edge on some who let others get to them maybe to say :)
cant imagine losing a child (I have 2) lost my dad recently wife lost her mom a bit before that and its still effecting me more than I thought it would and no it just takes time and will never go away but maybe deal with it better over time? I do think this getting in shape also to be the best I can for my family so I can be productive and helpful and not a burden or draw :) not sure how to say it in words so well but maybe ya know what I mean Life is short for sure and I want to be active up till the end
@@MinimalistCarnivore Stay healthy. Your faith and family will pull you through. Focus on positive thoughts and prayers. Feel ALL the emotions. That's why we all have a mind, and body. Feel all the feelings. Bring your comfort circle tight and close. Let everything and everyone fall off to the side that does not bring you peace. Grief and living do not fit well together. Not many can deal and cope with grief. You'll quickly find out your circle is smaller than you thought. That's ok. Feel all the feelings.... You'll know when you should stay, and you'll know when to walk away... Be kind. Be faithful. Be yourself. I've been through so much heartache. Not everyone in my life is still present. A few have wondered away... That's ok. Freedom to choose. Like choosing the Carnivore eating lifestyle. Not all will support. Not all will be understanding. It's ok. Grief. Life. Carnivore. So MANY changes. Our personal journey is our very own. Each day clips away. Each day is our own. Find your core support. Stick with this circle. Do not include yourself anywhere else. I've realized how deep my mind and body and soul is. It's a vast thing. How would you ever be able to understand anyone else on that level? Carnivore has helped me clear my mind and thoughts. I am not hopeless anymore. I am not desperate. I am opposite. I am hopeful. I am now once again seeking enlightement and encouragement. Each day is filled with happiness and joy and comfort from the family that's stayed close to us in our needing times. Be closer to those supporting you. Stay away from the negative. Do you have a box of sugar doughnuts on your counter? No! So, why would you have unsupportive people in your life? Be you! Be carnivore! Be healthy! Glow! Beam! Enjoy each day! You and your wife can pull each other through each day! Stay positive! Believe! Feel all the feelings! Get them out! Shout out if you need to! Scream for gosh sakes! FEEL LIFE! FEEL FREE TO EXPRESS!
I'm also noticing improvements just like yours. The vision improvement is slow but sure. Maybe I'll even get the hearing back in the wonky ear. That would be welcome, but I know that carnivore life is not a panacea. Still, very happy to keep going from 95 to 100%. Thanks!
I’m 126 days in and my weight loss has been very dramatic. I still get headaches but hoping they go away eventually. I’ve been getting them since I was 10 and I’m 35 now. I started at 310lbs and weighed in at 231 today. The weight loss is great but the health benefits from going carnivore, that’s where the real life changing things are happening! Love your channel my man!
thanks so much :) that is awesome to hear the weight loss and sounds like me and you might have come for the weight loss but stay for the overall health and feel :) do hope the headaches go away I know my migraines did and not saying yours are the same but do wonder if some of mine were more lack of proper sleep and of course the huge push garbage diet :) but its one of those things (headaches) that make life tough to have all the time so can relate
also wanted to put this in its own reply :) I do lean on faith and while some might not have the same faith I do joke Moses walked the desert for 40 years I walked as a fat guy for 15 years the idea I would get out some day or this fat me had a reason is tough to grasp but the faith does make me think OK down the line there will be a reason I often think some of this is sharing and I hate to say helping others as they are helping themselves on this but maybe sharing my journey helps as I know I had very few in the start and now I am sharing more it really does help know we are not alone in this “crazy” way of eating as we are told it is and it has made my faith stronger as I am way more involved in the Church now and my faith has grown like resisting sin is tough resisting junk food and stuff is tough so in that sense also I know I can do this even if I fall I will have grace and get back going hope that makes sense :) hahahah kinda rambling but those thoughts are real so again congrats on the progress and journey
@@MinimalistCarnivore that’s really great to hear about your faith and we are the same in this regard. Born again in 2019! I agree faith is so crucial. Not just faith in the cross but faith also to lean on Him to get us through the trials and temptations we come across in our walks. I’ve been overweight since childhood and have lost major weight before but ended up gaining it all back. It does feel different this time, carnivore has simplified my life greatly and when I don’t have a headache I feel absolutely incredible and energized. I think the community we have pushes our success. You can read testimonies for a week solid and barely scratch the surface of just how many people are thriving on carnivore. Something else I’ve noticed is the amount of fellow believers I’ve come across on UA-cam and in real life who are also carnivore. Maybe through coincidence but I like to think it’s more Gods providence bringing us near to those who we can relate to, not only on a spiritual level but a physical level as well. Thank you so much brother for sharing your faith with me, made my day and greatly encouraged me. May the Lord continue to bless you my friend.
@@Jimwin2 awesome ya know I was "chunky" as a kid then lost by my senior year radically as I got into shape riding bicycles 5'11" 178 lbs stable so would go but then when I had lung issues that made me move and quit diving I gained the weight so by my mid 40s I was huge I do think what some face a life time of weight and folks like me maybe who at least a good portion of life were in good shape face different battles and mental struggles me its that wanting to go back as I know what it was from some folks who were out of shape just getting in shape I wonder what is the thoughts ? some say WOW this is what I was missing or so glad I finally got here or ? and I know each of our stories and experiences are unique but being carnivore ties us all together with that WOW it was just as simple as eating meat and I am not hungry and I do not have to do complex things or worry about menus anyway :) take care again :) keep the faith for sure :)
thanks yeah loosing just over 100 and we are so close in those numbers :) ya might be like me and loose more than you thought even ;) congrats on the 65+
After almost seven months I've had most of the changes you talk about. Dandruff was the first sign things were changing. Body odour became worse for about a week but then disappeared altogether. The other interesting thing for me was that I used to get frequent fungal infections and shingles outbreaks, but none in the last six months. Sleep has improved immensely, from barely getting 5 hours to being able to sleep 8 to 10 hours without a problem. As for mental health, which is the main reason I went carnivore, I've been able to stop taking two of the three medications I was on (NB I have monthly medical supervision), also stopped blood pressure and acid reflux medications as no longer required. If things go well I'm hoping to remove the last of the medication by year's end. The only issues I've had is with dairy - it is highly addictive for me, so I've given it up completely for a while to see how things go. Thank you for your content and work.
thanks :) It's awesome to hear off some of the meds and hear of the other improvements It will be really interesting to see how the no dairy goes for you :) I wish I did not have to have any but does help the no gallbladder and have to try to go without again soon :) I think what the dandruff shampoo used to be doing to my head in/on my skin and deeper? pure chemical goo
Skin tags gone or smaller. Skin soft without use of lotions! Don’t sunburn as easy. Not noticing floaters anymore! Still have tinnitus, will try your little trick! Hoping for more improvements going forward. Love eating/living this way!!!
thanks :) yeah, that trick is huge If it pops up hit it right away :) let me know if it works perhaps start a new comment so I see it if you do not mind :) it never used to work that well for me so I do think some of this is the diet helping us like all these other little things we experience change with!
2 years on carnivore and completely cured of 15 year long ME/CFS which left me completely bedridden for a time and then homebound. Joint pains all gone, no more brain fog or fatigue. Long term tendonitis healed, no more migraines, heartburn gone. You are right about still being able to stub a toe or get minor problems. I have been lucky enough to have flu and then bronchitis since December. The extended bed rest made me have a sciatica flare and it hurts like mad! But hubby is creating my OMAD carnivore meals and I know I will recover more quickly and soon be back outside wth my horses and gardening which I couldn't do for years. Feeling healthy is wonderful but at 65 I'm delighted to have lost weight and be able to wear the same clothes I was wearing as a young adult (and not look stupid!) I agree about the hair colour. I use hair dyes but I noticed my regrowth recently was not grey. So many benefits to carnivore.
thanks for sharing :) the ME/CFS I reckon is one of those HUH unless you have I then you know what it is :) and thanks for sharing as if someone else was curious as they have that it shows YES it might be worth trying carnivore with your results and I am sure others :) this speaking up and commenting making vids etc... is HUGE for the carnivore folks to show and share we are healing with just diet :) besides that LOVE hearing the long list of so many other things yeah the gardening and being outside that I used to love years ago that got taken away from me for other reasons I missed so much and I realize while I missed out on part of my life I am here now and did something about it like you did 2 years ago and make that choice I plead for others make it happen TODAY and TRY it :) and with you 5 years older and many other say above 55 its never to late and YOU do not have to be old feeling anymore :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore I honestly feel and look younger than I did when I was in my 40's and 50's. It's so crazy, isn't it? Goes against everything we've been taught. I'm guessing it's easier to look better when you're not fatigued and in pain but this diet seems to actually have an age reversing effect. It feels a bit vain to say that but nothing wrong with getting your confidence back and feeling a wee bit smug! 😁 I'm in Scotland btw so your channel is far reaching ;)
@@gwynhyfer hahaahah yeah it is as I repeat we have been lied to all this time :) for me the feeling is the biggest part :) and I was dreading getting old now its non issue Scotland :) very cool to hear that the world is facing this health issue when you Look at Mexico I read the other day was highest in Diabetes and was in the top 3 countries or something of obesity now so for sure we carnivores who have had these results I reckon need to reach the whole world :) so fun to hear from folks in other countries
Excellent... you've just identified stuff that's changed for me that I hadn't even realised! Had a couple of... "wow... so it has!!!" moments already. Very interested in your account on vision. I don't have a stigmatism but I'm a varifocal wearer and will try and monitor but slight vision improvement will probably not be noticed if I do that! Again, your insight and explanation of the subject matter is encouraging for those following in your footsteps 👍
thanks I had so many of those for these like you WOW its gone what ? and when some ask when it happens I can never say for sure its that OH what I do not notice that :) yeah the eye site is interesting and the fact my bifocal side did not does make me wonder more WHY
Are you really answering every message? That’s a very generous thing to do! Thanks. I read the comments and the responses to the comments. That’s how I see they are mostly yours, if I am not mistaken.
💡The Selenium in the meat can make hair darken. In a study on aging hair, researchers named selenium as an anti-aging “compound of interest” for aging hair. Consuming 99% Meat Diet & My Eye Floaters are gone.🙂 I'm a lot thinner so have only used the AC on a couple real hot days in August and it was just run for a few hours in the evening to get the house cooler for sleeping. My body temp skyrockets when I eat bad food and lots of it. I always noticed the body temp going up right after eating a boat load of stuff!
thanks :) interesting had not heard of the selenium put that in a note to look into more ;) thanks for that yeah the heat thing is interesting that we notice :)
Thanks :) YUP try to get to everyone and hope I always can Truly this has been so life changing and am so passionate about sharing what I can Love hearing others stories etc. :) also spreads the word that healthy eating can cure quite a bit :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore yes carnivore has been a lifesaver for me and I just can’t believe it was right there all the time and I just didn’t realize it. Thanks to people like you who puts it out there ❤️
@@loriegosnell9355 Yeah I for sure feel the wool has been pulled over kinda thing and it makes me go HMMMMMM to a LOT of other things we might be being mislead on :) Did take me a while to get on this but here now I often thought Oh enough voices but also at it 4+ yrs I can be a voice that says YES you can do it long term and I am on a budget like many so also can be done on a budget that is NOT just ribeye :) maybe one day as those are my fav cuts though But recently been eating a lot of lamb and doing well which I have to get a video out on :) Thanks again :)
The eye floaters disappearing is amazing! All these potential improvements really motivate me to stay the course since most have been life long issues for me too, great video.
Thanks so much and do hope you get those I know some see the eye floaters going away so will be interesting if yours do go and what else changes For me its more that fountain of youth and just over all feeling young again
You mentioned healing faster and better.... For me, I once got a very serious burn to a my tumb and index finger... Really serious... I grabbed ice cubes and rollled them around my burns for the evening... Next mornning, you could see the effect of the burn but I couldn't believe that there was practically no pain. Your testimony would be one of the only ones that lists almost all the benefits I also experienced after the same amount of years on the carnivore. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing :) And I kinda had a chuckle as that is what is so wild when folks read these kinda things happening all from just proper human diet along with the others and more that some folks had issues with :) Yeah truly IMHO and many others I am sure we have been lied to about what is healthy :)
Found this very helpful. And his voice is quite soothing. I just started carnivore, so it’s awesome to hear positive messages amongst the sea of negativity towards the carnivore diet.
Thanks so much :) Its always funny to hear your own voice as I think I sound so funny :) hahahah but reckon most of us think that way when we hear ourself :) I know I still get push back and they try to throw out facts I know are false and if I say NO this is the truth I get this look from them like I insulted them :) Sadly so many are so misinformed and buy into the lies being pushed as fact now and even if I show a study showing the opposite they say OH well that one is bad when I say so you pick and choose what you want to believe than ? And I try to say TRY IT so you know for sure and experience it but always met with NO WAY its to dangerous etc...
I can corroborate a few things that happened to me as you describe happened to you. 1. No sunburn. 2. elimination of skin tags. 3. more comfortable in hot weather. This summer I heard people complaining it was too hot. I thought the weather was amazing and enjoyed being outside. 4. The skin on my feet is so much better. I used to have thick pads of dead skin on the ball of my foot and under the big toes, and under the heels. I used to have to trim the dead skin weekly. A few months of carnivore, and it peeled off. It was inconceivable, it just peeled off in thick pieces. Now my feet have strong skin but not dead, dry skin. I can feel my socks. 4. I used to get sinus infections for months. Which meant nasal congestion and sometimes blood in the nasal mucus when I would blow my nose, and sinus drip into the back of my throat. That is gone. Just gone. My doctor used to tell me it was allergy to pollen and dust. Not a problem any more. 5. I am seeing better. I used to wear progressive trifocals eyeglasses because I couldn't see near, middle, and far distance with a single focal distance lens. Now I can wear single focus lenses, which are much less expensive, and my eyes are able to shift from near (like reading computer screens) to far (like seeing traffic when driving my car). I still cannot see very near, as you describe, so I have to take my glasses off to read my smartphone.
the weather thing is interesting and glad to hear others also find this :) the foot thing to someone mentioned and I was like YEAH I knew I would forget that :) I am in bare feet most the time so mine was a pretty gnarly cracked mess still rough but in a natural walking on it way and NOT all cracked and dry and gnarly :) as you said strong skin now :) I need to get in for my glasses ASAP will be interesting what the new ones will be like for me and get away from this going back and forth I am doing now :) hahahahahah thanks so much for sharing :)
I just noticed my feet being soft and no callus anymore too! As well as now being able to use far distance glasses only and take them off to read my phone.
when you say almost I was saying almost 60 for a bit :) wonder if there is a bit of I am OK where I am at cause I feel so good so getting older is not such a big deal feeling to us carnivore folks? or not :) hahahahahah thanks again :)
Thanks for your great content, style of communicating and unique take on Carnivore! I’m just a month and a half in but anxiety is gone. Even and steady energy level. Most importantly I’m not a slave to hunger! Down 10 pounds. Energy level to lift weights and swim are off the charts. Injured myself because I felt so strong. Try not to do that! Slow and steady. Body is reshaping itself. More muscles already. 🎉 Carnivore diet took some initial adjustments. Fun to tweak especially when tweaks make things better. Finally, when eating non-carnivore I usually pay for it some way usually with indigestion or discomfort. Friends I haven’t seen in a while notice a difference immediately. Biggest takeaway is when you don’t eat enough fat the diet doesn’t really work but the amount of fat needed is unique to each individual. Just figure out your sweet spot!
thanks :) and nice to hear about the Anxiety going away! truly is wild and more folks need to try and experience this way of life! agree on we each need to find our own amount and test it

I am only 57 yrs old, Retired due to severe depression. Day 25 on carnivore and I have already applied to go back to work!! Feeling awesome!
thanks and that is awesome and at day 25 ! WOW
I love these anecdotes!
Sorry about your life. Good luck!
Congratulations! Good luck for the future 🤝🏻💚
What a fabulous post to hear you have gotten your life back. I 'spos you can count on 30 years of life. What ya gona do? At least fly with the wind beneath your wings.
8 weeks on carnivore and I just had my first uninterrupted night's sleep in over 20 years!
thanks for sharing :)
awesome to hear that :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore Brother... I can confirm that one. I have dreams every night now. I haven't been able to say that for years.
@@RecklessG1Me too!
Incredible and good for you!
Only 5 weeks in & looking forward to better sleep. I had stopped sugar months ago & noticed no BO then. Also Norwegian roots so sun burns have always been a problem. So I hope this will be a thing of the past.
Thanks for sharing your subtle changes
11 months carnivore, no sun burns, no body odour, no passing gas, no more facial hair! ( female so this is a good thing!) Better nails, thicker hair and much better skin! .
It really makes me wonder what I was eating to cause all the issues.
Thanks :)
Pretty wild the no sunburn or the body odor etc... huh :)
The no more facial hair is interesting and I think you are the first one that I have heard that from so very cool to hear :)
I do wonder also what it was that you ate :)
or if its just your hormones are now in better shape balance and not a mess doing odd things (not sure how to word that)
@agiantleapoffaith.. how long did it take for your body odor go away? I'm only a few days in and I feel like I stink more in all places!!! I was just telling my husband that I sure hope this goes away.
@@kristenmayo1289 I know some get bad breath etc.. keto breath for a while when starting with googling that maybe :)
the less BO thing was more one of those HUH I don't have that much of an issue anymore
but do want to think it was maybe in that 3-6 month phase?
thanks and hope that helps :)
@@kristenmayo1289in my experience the body odor went away after 1 year 8 months, Yeah, that long. My sister on the other hand, like 3 months. And if you go back to the way you eat before it comes back.
Oh wow I'm looking forward to no chin hairs❤❤❤😂
74 years old, retired from work because of vx mandates, 78kg's, 6' tall, no regular prescribed medications, was in maritime construction, have been Aus., Army, as well as self employed mechanic, not everything I eat is carnivore, but very low carb, minimal sugar no wheat products, I have colourful veg, plenty of beef, lamb, chicken, pork, no processed meats, always check ingredients in foods. If ingredients are described using numbers or chemical names I don't touch it. Well, 3 months I'm back in my gym doing weights, cardio, feeling great! Wife and I divorced 32 years ago, got 4 grown kids 8 grandkids, 3 great grandkids, up and down east coast Australia. I cruise up and down the coast on my fat bike, visiting family and friends as if I'm still in my thirties, was going to say twenties but I don't ride like that anymore and expect to live, anyway, I find that without a good steak or similar I just don't seem to feel as energetic or as quick minded as I should. Rock on all you old souls.
Congrats :)
I am one of those that is stict carnivore BUT I am also OK with folks doing what you do :) so truly congrats again
I just never liked veg or fruit only pastas and breads and those I think are worth avoiding at all cost :)
When you cant pronounce or have to think about how to say it with ingredients cant be good for ya ;) hahahaha so that eat a carrot with some sauce made from egg yolks and butter or something that simple is the way we all should be eating or like me just the meat if you are Ok with it but we have to be happy as mental side of our health is HUGE
Interesting on the last comment about the steak :) but that is the thing listen to your body do what works for you :) and even with me I try to tell folks you have to find YOU and YOUR Optimum and that might take a bit
The riding like you are in your 20s yeah me at 60 back into my bike riding taken a few hits and OH it hurts worse and heals slower
Destroyed a front rim first week and said OK calm down just have fun hahahahahaha so can so relate :) I might feel like I am young but do know at 60 when the body meets the ground I am not hahahaha
That’s awesome! But, you’re not carnivore which is eating meat only. Sounds like you’re into eating whole foods, absolutely great. Carnivores don’t touch plant foods or products at all. My friend tells everyone she’s vegetarian but she loves fish, not sure what kind of vegetable fish is, lol. As long as you’re healthy you don’t need to put a label on it.
You are not a true carnivore if you don't use tallow for skin care!😁
@@Dr_Oleg_Kulikov hahaha thanks :) actually I do use tallow shave cream so half way there :)
Noble Otter right now is my fav brand
Brush and bowl and DE razors for the win
My boy made some soap at the homeschool co-op as they are into that quite a bit and been thinking of making my own tallow soaps in the near future as I do love them so much
Making me envious when you talk of the bike rides 😂. And this from a 65 year old retired Irishman in Thailand with a GS1200 BMW just back Australia. I’m in the early stages of OMAD carnivore. Catering has become so so simple. Rib-eye, bacon and eggs dominate.
It’s incredible how diet fixes so much. I hate doctors and hospitals and drugs so prefer this approach to health.
YUP me to
Thanks for sharing :)
Nature is perfect then . . . human beings interfered.
Nature invented grass-fed red meat.
Humans invented grain-fed red meat.
I am in the Medical Field and could not agree more with you!
Better having a big steak than listening to a doctor )))
Eating only one type of food isn't smart, we're not obligate carnivores.
I'm now 68 after having gone keto for nine months and then carnivore for the last couple of years. Lost 30 kg and my floaters and tinnitus are so greatly reduced they're barely noticeable. Teeth health is terrific and I constantly feel well. It's great being able to go outside without having to use sunscreen. I walk the dog for an hour early each day and then come home and eat breakfast at around 8:30 a.m. Then I get stuck into my day's activities for the next five hours and have linner (lunch/dinner) at around 2:00 p.m. That's it. I feel no hunger or desire to eat anything further until breakfast the next day. Food prep is so easy - just take the meat you want the next day out of the freezer the night before. It's fantastic having so much extra time in the day to enjoy life. Carbs and sweet things stopped tempting me long ago. Carnivore life is great!
thanks for sharing!
and wish so many more would at least TRY IT so they can experience it :)
Curious to know if you stopped losing weight at some point while continuing to eat the same when you were dropping 68.
That's about my routine, too. I stopped reading because of the floaters and now they're gone! I've been carnivore for 3 months. I also lost all cravings and easily gave up a 3 pack a day smoking habit. It's like I never smoked! I didn't need to lose weight, but I noticed I've lost 8 lbs and I had to take in all my clothes.
@@nannygirlkc glad to hear smoking is gone :) never did but sure its going to be huge for ya congrats :)
@@Observe555 Yes, the weight loss slows when you get close to 'optimal' weight - kind of like your body knows where it should be! 🤣It's great being able to eat hearty meals without having to worry about putting weight back on.
Great video which helps carnivores like me who don’t know any other carnivores in person. I am a 63 year old woman who has been animal based for 2 years followed by 1 year carnivore. I have many physical changes for the better but by far the biggest plus for me has been psychological. Since my early 20’s I have taking prescription citalopram due to high anxiety. Heart palpitations, panic attacks and constant tearfulness. Once animal based I was able to give up carbs and alcohol. Once carnivore I took 7 months to gradually wean myself off of citalopram from 40mg /day to zero without any negative effects. All the anxiety I experienced has gone despite nothing else in my life changing. It’s truly miraculous to me. 🎉.
thanks for sharing :)
tha is awesome to hear about the meds as so many think they have to be on them for life or told its life and a simple diet change seems to be the key to also unlock so much more besides weight loss !
the weight loss while great and often tied to our emotions and psychological side those last two are stand alone issues so many Carnivores have faced and overcome :)
I wanted to start interviewing folks about their changes :) if you would be up for it
the more voices we have the better but also no worries if you do not want to :)
on my About tab you can scroll down a touch and hit that email you have to do the not a robot and captcha thing :) but if you would feel free to send a email and a quick reminder of this comment :)
That's so great!! But IF you want "more changes" for the better..try the "Lion Carnivore diet"..>>> Pure red meat, salt and water ONLY..(& you might want to check out Jordan and Michaela Peterson's testimonies, of going "Lion diet" too.. Just a suggestion here..Wishing you well!!
Why did you switch from animal based to carnivore?
@@NikkiDawes-x2t thanks for asking. It’s been a continuous tweaking of my diet and still is, mainly due to trying go keep my guts happy. I have had a lot of inflammation and discomfort over the decades and I seem to be very sensitive to foods. I tried eating only whole foods, but still had problems. I did low fodmaps, then keto and only found full relief by going zero plants. I’m now experimenting with beef and lamb only, since I suspect the belly pork and chicken is less satisfying and may be causing some gassy symptoms.
❤
Dude, I’m 55 and this video is almost everything I’ve gone through as well. When I tell people all of the things that have changed, they look at me like I’m crazy.
thanks and WE ARE NOT ALONE!
its also interesting to me how medical does not know? not educated on nutrition? or lying? or what it is ?
like the protein spots were annoying and was told nothing you can do or the Tinnitus another annoyance nothing we can do or the just buy dandruff shampoo ! and so many more all based on proper nutrition !
Same. Its too good to be true for most to believe
it is funny to when folks who KNOW you and want to heal are so addicted and wont try it :) sad frustrating and shows the power of food addiction
Yes you are right. They think you are wrong. Maybe the best is not to talk over it and live your/ our life’s.
Gray hair is actually going away. It's insane. No heartburn. Vision is way better. So much stronger. I sleep better. Focus is crystal clear. Muscle mass is returning. Face has thinned out.
Im 42 and only been on high fat Carnivore for a short while, but my morning erections have come back like in my teens and 20's. That's got to be a good sign for my heart health.
thanks for sharing
did a interview with PJ who brought that up also about health so yeah
Same here. It's a nice feeling.
I'm close to 50 and have the same result... unbelievable
@@DeliveringSolutions great to hear :)
Thanks for sharing :)
I'm not even on carnivore and I got good morning erections, I think I need to try it, my erections might be indestructible
All of this plus more. Lost 120lbs, stable weight for 6 years. Just took up cycling and running, it's great to be able to go for a 4 of 5 hour bike ride and feel fantastic. I'm a 63 year old cancer survivor just living a dream.
thanks and getting through Cancer and new health can not be put in words :)
yeah me at 60 being able to do what I do I never thought possible again :)
especially my bike riding past :) love two wheels :)
I am 55 years old and my skin is the best it has been in my life.
thanks :)
truly wild how all these things get better by just eating properly :)
My N of 1
During the extreme lockdown here in the Philippines, January 2021 I was obese type 2, 94Kg/207lbs, (I’m only 5’6”) with pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. I was suffering from metabolic syndrome. I understood the comorbidity I had as a 57 year old would greatly affect me if I contracted the Rona. I had to lose fat, reverse hypertension, reverse my NAFLD and reduce my HbA1c.
Sitting in my armchair at the beginning of lockdown I saw that the keto/ketovore/carnivore diet claimed it could ‘cure’ my ailments. I watched a bunch of videos and tried to understand the linked papers supporting the claims. End result was that it simply made a lot of sense to me.
After procrastinating for a couple of weeks I saw a video by Ken D Berry, MD where he said ‘Just do it’! … so I did 🤓
8 months later, whilst still sitting in my armchair (most of the time). I had lost the 30kg/66lbs of fat that was required to get me down to a ‘normal’ BMI, I GREATLY improved my blood pressure to the point it raised my wife’s eyebrows, she’s a First Responder. My blood sugar was well back in to the ‘normal’ range and I vastly reduced inflammation.
I also reversed IBS that had controlled my life for 40 years (I lost jobs because of it), got rid of decades long debilitating heartburn, my Testosterone went up drastically and I stopped snoring … my wife is happy 🤓 I was ‘foggy’ & forgetful, possible early stage MCI, I sometimes also slurred my words and forgot what I was talking about mid sentence, this has completely reversed! Undiagnosed but recognised by my family I got out of a bad case of lockdown depression.
A few months ago I further decided to cut out most vegetables from my meat heavy Keto WOE, only adding on occasion a little onion, garlic, green peppers and tomato for some flavour… always salting to taste. Improvements are continuing with a pace with better mental health, blood markers, skin conditions (skin tags have also disappeared) etc.
Most recently I have noticed pain improving in my back associated with osteoporosis in my lower spine. I don’t sweat like I did, slim or overweight. Also I am using old prescription glasses as I can see through them better, also eye floaters are disappearing… possible eyesight improvements?
Simply eating nutrient dense meat, HEAVY in animal fat, eggs, seafood, salmon … single ingredient real food is all it took …
Whilst cutting out processed food, sugar/carbohydrates and seed/‘vegetable’ oils and most dairy.
We THRIVE when eating our evolved, species specific Proper Human Diet along with some intermittent fasting to mimic the way our ancestors survived.
I’m sure there are thousands upon thousands of people that have similar anecdotal stories to tell … Please tell them … get the message out there!
WOW great story and journey thanks for sharing
we are close in age then and yeah like you the old glasses are better and I really need to get in and get new ones !
I do hope the floaters go away
quite a few other parallels with us :)
if you ever want to do a interview go to my about tab and the email link (you have to do the captcha stuff) but send a email with quick reminder of this would be a great story to share
also like me starting this last few months start a channel :) it took a LOT to make me do it still have to get better consistency of videos out but I know we need to scream this from the mtn tops that this WORKS !!!
Well done sir.
I was in the Philipinnes in February , great time
Wow and lol, I've been on mostly aninal products paired with dairy, pickles and kimchi for a little more then 2 weeks (my actual goal was going gluten free and starch free but that sht is in almost everything and I am not the biggest Fan of Broccoli) ny age is 28 and before those weeks not too long ago I noticed I had many floaters and now there is only one left 😂 idk if it has been random before though.
62 yo female (5'7") carnivore for 8 months now. I do daily IF and usually eat 2 meals a day. One all eggs and my evening meal is chicken thighs or beef. Went from 190 to 144 so far. I am down to the same weight I was after my 2nd son was born. I feel better than I have in years. Don't let anyone deter you from following the carnivore way of eating.
thanks and great story for others to read :)

thanks for sharing
I would also ask for nonscale victories
how do you feel? any better
joints better
clothes fitting better?
anything that was more chronic better?
some do not lose much but rare I know even Dr Chaffee has said this or takes a LONG time to heal depending on many things
He even mentioned this above also in one of his recent live QA
as many do focus to much on scale weight and not on size and feeling during the healing process
again not denying anything you said :) just sharing trying to help :)
so what exactly are you eating? how many times a day
do you include dairy? if so have you stopped eating dairy?
and just done just ruminant meat salt water
how much are you eating a starting point that many agree on is 1gram of protein per ideal pound of body weight as a starting point and fat at 1:1 since fat has more calories that works out to be a good starting point and you might have to adjust up or down and along the journey adjust some
also, the ratio of fat to protein and getting too much protein seems to be something some do so try to stick to the fatty meats
for me when losing the most I was eating more fat than I do now
I for sure believe you just trying to help with what I can from my own experience
Carnivore for 63 days now. I am down 45 pounds and have really started to notice all the benefits. Also been doing one 48 hour intermittent fast each week. My energy levels have really gone through the roof. I find myself constantly searching for things to do. I am even riding a stationary bike for 30 minutes each day. Truly loving the carnivore lifestyle!
thanks and have to ask did you think the 45 pounds and all that benefit would happen from just eating meat ?
for me was NO WAY if someone told me before hand :) so glad to hear stories like this so more can see its NOT just a few of us but almost all that do this and get so much more
the 48 hour fasts hats off to you as those are tough to do :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore I was expecting to see some benefits based off doing an Atkins style low carb previously. My body has always felt better when doing low carb but I have never experienced the results like I have doing carnivore. My family & friends have been blown away by my results.

YUP on the water weight at first
Why many loose some in that first week then get a slow down :)
I'm 52 and just started carnivore 4th of July. I was 214 (the heaviest EVER in my life) and on amlodopin for my blood pressure. In just 3 weeks of only Beef, bacon, butter, eggs, salt, water I immediately noticed the following:
1.Able to go OMAD with no carb cravings
2. Zero bloating
3. Lowered BP - off amlodopin after 3 weeks
4. Steady energy through day
5. Weight at this time is 194 and trending lower.
I am super stoked to continue and reach my goals of reducing visceral fat and attaining a super defined mid section. I was able to go cold turkey and drop all fhe harmful sugar loaded foods and energy drinks. Never going back to that garbage!
thanks for sharing and awesome to hear the good results
I do think the going as clean as you can to start like you did over what many myself included might have fallen into to many pork rinds to many "carnviroe" snacks ! so congrats on that clean start
for me its also why I say try to get away with that but if it helps cool as your fast results are more the norm on that clean good carnivore ;)
214 pounds is normal for a lot of people 6'4"
maybe 214 toned. most of us extra weight is excess fat. I have read that carnivore replaces fat with greater muscle tone and increases bone density. I agree with you. 214 for 6'4"
is normal. @@virtualpilgrim8645

Over a year carnivore, I'd add that the fat I had in the love handle area just evaporated, I'm the leanest I've ever been. Another notable thing, I'm fat & protein based metabolism, so if I have to leave the house without eating I'm energetic, not hungry, my energy levels stay high and stable, and whenever I get around to eating is fine, a complete difference from on a carbohydrate based metabolism. And my vision is perfect.
thanks and yeah I notice I do my hikes in the morning if I eat I am not as good the working on fasted state I think has some solid truth !
Did you have a noticeable vision improvement?
@@danbutcher8879 No. I don't give out my age but let's say at my age many people have other than perfect vision, including both my parents and my son. I do believe how I eat contributes to keeping my vision perfect. My intuitive opinion.
For those who don't know, Astigmatism is related to the SHAPE of your eyes. The astigmatism getting better is likely due to reduced inflammation, therefore reduced pressure on the eyes. Pressure on your eyes will obviously effect its shape. So, less pressure equals less shape deformation. I have astigmatism, and sometimes I like to gently press on the sides of my eyes without glasses, and if I do it just right, I have PERFECT vision. It's wild.
Thanks
I knew it was out of round did not think about the inflammation but that makes sense :) thanks for that
I know the insane headaches I used to get also do think so much of that was all related
Hahahahahaha OH to funny about the pressure on the eyes if I press on the lower part it gets more clear not perfect but better :) I wonder how many do that :)
This is exciting to hear ! I have astigmatism and driving at night sucks. My husband and I are starting carnivore in two weeks, after our anniversary
I had glasses in 3rd grade lol
I’m 60 almost. No inflammation back then. I wasn’t fat either (very few kids were). So I’m not sure how much inflammation BACK THEN had to do with it, thru my youth either. I was mid40s before my body hurt anywhere, in the least.
I’m Carnivore for 5 years, born in Sweden 🇸🇪 grew up in Florida and living in Canada 🇨🇦 for decades. Carnivore resolved my type 2 diabetes. The most difficult thing is to convince others, especially family members (not in my household) that Carnivore is amazing. So I try not to do it anymore. I’m happy about your story. It surely helped you tremendously. Mental is excellent, and physically it’s great because I’m almost 57 (March 31st) and work new home construction just north of Toronto doing 8,000 some steps per day. That is much easier compared to some 6+ years ago.
thanks :)
my wife is Canadian :) Vancouver area
I am Swedish by blood :)
just fun trivia
yeah I hear ya on convincing its pointless they see you know you are doing so well yet do not want to believe what they see IMHO that brain washing they got about what is healthy is that strong that they truly will not believe someone they know over something the gov told them :)
at our age I am sure you feel like OK this age is not so old anymore the feeling young again is something NO other way of eating made me feel that alone is just amazing to me NOT feeling old anymore and not having all the body aches and like your 8,000 steps I do about 3 mile hike like its nothing but wakes me up and I feel good truly mind blown on that alone :)
Dr. Ken Berry said don't tell family and friends, they won't understand! I made the mistake telling my sister and she went bonkers! You'll die of heart failure because Google said 'bad diet'.

@@MinimalistCarnivore I forgot to add that I was able to do 20 deep knee bends yesterday and had only one aching muscle today. Trigger point massage on it released it immediately. I have a lot of abdominal scar tissue from osteomyelitis of the sacrum and the subsequent debridement that necessitated cutting through the SI joint in 2015. I’ve never been able to do deep knees bends without days of deep, severe aching, NSAIDS and a heating pad. Several weeks of beef and water MUST have taken the inflammation away so working and stretching the scar tissue is not so dreadful.

most likely have a live every 2 weeks? maybe every week? hear how folks are doing and really just a fun support group of like-minded folks getting together and sharing how it is going through ups and downs and realizing some will have higher goals and some just want to move more
Going carnivore taught me what it means to be "full," that is, the feeling of being satisfied after a meal without a full stomach, something I had never experienced before. On a traditional diet, and to a greater extent on a vegetarian diet, you can practically eat until your stomach hurts, and even then crave more food, not to forget how hungry you are again a few hours later.
This also taught me what hunger is, as something distinctive from cravings, and as the cravings disappeared I became aware of the difference between the two. I no longer panic when I feel hungry, e.g., at work, because it mostly goes away within an hour or so, and when I finally get home I'm still not desperate to eat. Cravings, on the other hand, which i used to have, are much more difficult to resist.
Finally, it taught me what digestion is, when before I considered that the faster food went through the stomach/intestines the better the digestion, without understanding that it could be a sign that the body wanted to get rid of content it did not want. Especially when it comes out as much as what went in. Laxatives are not digestive. Digestion is breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. My first few months as a carnivore I thought I was constipated, something vegetarians had warned me against, and less came out than went in. However, I felt healthy, no stomach ache or bloating, so I concluded that for the first time I had a fully functional digestion, i.e., absorption of nutrition.
yeah, it does Why I use the word Satiated so much :) vs Full you can get that belly full like you said and still be wanting :)
Great post and spot on about the hunger Also for sure does not become an emergency OH NO I have to eat
I think the cravings take some time and I do know some still have them
the digestion thing is also spot on :) with no gallbladder if I go over fat I know my body is getting rid of it and when not it is almost strange to realize your body can truly extract all the good out of your food is something many find odd after what we have been told
thanks for the awesome comment :)
Can you please explain the no gallbladder part a bit more? Thank you.
Yes! For me, I have noticed the same, pretty much everything you said, plus my rings fit after years of inflamed joints from brewing arthritis now abated, dental health greatly improved, chronic paralyzing anxiety and IBS disappeared. I just feel and look more like myself, the version I lived with in my 20’s and haven’t seen since, if that makes sense. I was the biggest Foodie ever - like, I left the city life for a farm to grow and raise my own food, process and store everything Foodie - and now I rejoice in the extra time for so many other passions, and my vibrant good health without the burden of all it took to feed us. Carnivore upended my life but it’s a freakin miracle in so many ways. The last thing is our grocery bills have gone way down. We buy a side of beef and whole lamb and pigs for the freezer, raise and butcher chickens, also buy butter, sardines, and a few other things. Maybe a few veg from the farmers market for my hubby. I know one thing for certain, processed food is addictive, expensive, and dangerous to our health, so amen to saying goodbye to that garbage 🥳 Thanks for sharing. This can be a lonely journey….
thanks and OH the rings so glad you said this!

I have a ring that I got when I was younger in my 20s that I had for ever and now use that in place till I get my wedding ring sized one day :)
and even that ring is to large ! slides off way to easy ! shows even when I was in insane shape in my 20s I must have had some inflammation in my fingers !
even my wife came out on this comment as I mentioned the ring to her :)
thanks again :)
The point about not worrying, or thinking, about food is a a big one. Carnivore for a month and I'm never hungry, never crave carbs or sugar. Thanks for the channel.
thanks :)
yeah I think I never realised how much it took or I thought not all negative but often the center point of conversations with foodie friends I have
Thank you You are very encouraging ☺️. I am starting this week on Carnivore. I am nearly 76 yrs old
Thanks and good deal on starting :)
Also check out @OldGuyCarnivore
He has been at it and is your age if you have not seen him already :)
The old cant teach a old dog new tricks is for sure NOT true with so many folks picking this up who can change their health and life radically at any age :)
Keep in touch how its going just start a new post when ya do :) but again congrats to start and just keep moving forward :)
How is the new way of living going? I'm 77 and only 20 days on carnivore, but struggling with low blood sugar. Determined to go for 30 days then assess the results, but a lot of things have improved already.
Thank you for the tip on astigmatism!
I'm 79, almost two years carnivorous. Tried today a pair of old glasses going back some 10 years and was thrilled to discover noticeable improvements in acuity when watching TV. I live in Brazil since 1991, now in a small town in Bahia. The local butcher is excellent and cows are grass-fed. Best.
thanks
as I just switched to my newer pair which is better close up ONLY
my 10 year old pair goes on when I walk away from the computer to see SO MUCH more clear :)
that is awesome to have a butcher and sounds like local beef :)
I do think the US with its massive import need to do more
keep thinking one day retire to the Azores or Portugal raise some of my own lambs and get beef local would be a dream quite farm like with good solid work and great people :) and want it to be in a small village for sure :)
Here's a few things I notice after Keto for almost 3yrs and just starting Carnivore. I used to get chronic, mild earache - gone. 65lbs - gone. Scalp irritations - gone. Eye floaters - almost gone. Tinnitus - still bothersome. I had one tooth that I could tell was going to need a root canal (I've had a few) - now pain free. I always had one eyebrow hair that was sparse - now filling in nicely. Less body odor. Sinus clear - no sleep apnea. Overall a more mellow outlook towards my fellow man... and, I'm happy!
thanks :)
as I am trying to interview more people want to get more stories out as I can :)
if you would like to come on and share your story
my about tab here has my email just put in a small reminder of this post and can get in touch with ya
great story to share :)
sounds like me awesome improvements for sure
The Earache was eczema. I have it and I hope to cure it with carnivore
Carnivore for 4 months. No more general anxiety, no seasonal affective disorder this fall and winter, generally feel happy all the time. Have had asthma all my life and used to have asthma attacks every day in fall and winter. After the first two weeks of carnivore I have not had a single asthma attack! My skin is glowing instead of dry and lifeless looking. Enhanced mental focus. I had planned on doing this WOE for only 3 months. Not stopping. It's just so good.❤
Thanks for sharing and WOW such huge benefits and getting the word out is HUGE :)
The fountain of youth effect for sure to keep going
@@MinimalistCarnivore ❤
Hi🙋🏾♀️ 💯! I also had a embarrassing toe Fungus on my Big toe. I treated it professionally & at home for 4 years! After Beginning Carnivore it totally healed up! Also at a recent routine eye appointment for my "Boarder Line Glaucoma" My eye Dr. Was amazed that she didn't see any signs of Glaucoma! When my Mom & Grandma passed away...both were totally blind from complications of Glaucoma.😢
HI and thanks for that
Regarding the toe fungus, I remember a video most likely Dr. Berry had the thumbnail was of a huge yellow nail toe :) so that popped into my head! just funny thought I would share :)
but the Glaucoma that is WILD truly WILD and has to be such a HUGE mental lift as that is something that can truly alter one's life! as you experienced with your mom and grandma :) prayers and hugs for you on that one!
How long have you been carnivore?
Three weeks into carnivore my Arthritis disappeared and my high blood pressure went down to normal levels. I'm 73 and have my balance back to normal and watched my age/liver spots disappear. It's an awesome diet.
Thanks and WOW to hear 3 weeks in feeling better and arthritis and blood pressure getting better
The balance thing is great to hear also
The age liver spots we had talked about the other day on a live so good to hear some have seen this get better :)
They just cant shut us up can they? I wont stop until everyone has at least heard about carnivore!
I get that most people think its crazy, but I just want to get to a point where every human in the western world has heard about this incredible, healing way of life. ❤❤❤
HEY HELLO :)
yeah and while I try not to have the wish I started this earlier was not in a good spot so I am here now!
you are here now with your channel as well and I am going to get together with you :) this growth is kind of a whirlwind along with my daily life :)
but yeah the more the better and glad more are speaking up since I did some of those other things! I know what they did for me
it is funny home some won't try it never have but yet say its bad? That boggles my mind well kind sadly its the norm these days :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore Exactly!
We can tell people about all the dozens of health benefits and they will just turn around and say, "I'm glad it works for you but it will never work for me."
What they actually mean is, "I could never give up eating foods x,y,z......so I'm not going to bother trying.
hahahahaha SPOT ON
and the OH its so bad and NO I have never tried it :)
when I trid the green thing YUCK experience and I said it was bad painful etc. I got the OH YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG YOU ARE THE PROBLEM or the pain is you healing !! hahaahah and I was like UH that makes no sense healing is NOT about having more issues new issues and PAIN ! and then I would get more pushback :) its crazy
I just wish more would try it and know for sure ;)
my friends say that to me though NO way I could not give up my pizza or my sauces or my pasta and when I ask would you like to give up your joint pain or migraines they get all the time its a great awkward silence so maybe a tiny tiny seed is planted ?
6 weeks on Carnivore and man what a difference. 12kg down (26lbs) way more energy. better sleep, better mood. theres one quirky little thing, I had a cut on the left underside of my left foot, was there for almost a year. about 2 inches down from my toes. every step i took would tug on it a little so it never got a chance to heal. well 1 month into carnivore it has completely healed. seems a small thing but because of the position of it i thought i would have that for life.
Thanks for sharing
Yeah its often the other things that you do not realize HOW many things were wrong with us ( I for sure never thought it would heal so much)
The cut thing was very interesting especially having it that long
I know my feet and skin massively improved never had the cut thing but huge cracks in dry skin on my heels thought it was just barefoot life but NOPE
When you see how much pumice stone and foot care products I would love to take some people that buy those to keep their feet better and put them on a carnivore diet and see what happens :) my guess they would NOT need the products anymore
Mahalo brother for posting this content! I’m almost one year in and just noticed that my floaters are gone. Grey hair is turning dark again, skin is better, sleep is better, and im looking forward to my tinnitus getting better. I’m going to hang in there for sure because I’m losing weight and not even thinking about food anymore. And food bills are smaller even though we eat ribeye most of the time. A hui hou!
Mahalos ;)
pretty wild for just eating properly
also like you the not having food on my mind is kinda freeing in a way we are not used to and not sweating the OH I have to eat all of a sudden being gone is also nice
a hui hou :)
I've done 5 months carnivore 2 years ago, never felt better and reached my goal weight, than unfortunately I decided to introduce a few "safe carbs" and the rest is history, I put all the weight back on and been struggling to get back on the carnivore lifestyle since than! I'm a new subscriber, your videos are very inspiring! I will be 39 on the 31st of August and decided to start carnivore again on the 1st of September! I've learned the hard way that I'm an abstainer! Can't moderate!
thanks :)
the good thing is you have done it so you know what it takes and sounds like next time you wont want to go back !
not to say OH a bit of that wont hurt :)
Hard Lessons often stick with us :)
Only one life to live my friend. Make it your best!
I'm now 2 months exactly on my Carnivore journey. I have always had gas. Great volume with hilarious conversation interrupting solos at camp with the boys. Gone. I quit the band. Stress migraines virtually illiminated. Huge energy. Sleeping straight 6 to 7 hours and I can finally enjoy 5 am silence in the house while everyone else is still asleep. I don't waste time on meal prepping anymore. My workout energy is through the roof now. But the most important thing, is that I'm now eating how I want because it feels good, and I regret not listening to my body sooner. I'm 40, but I'll be turning 21 this year!
ahahahahah my first smile with a chuckle for the morning that intro was great :)
I quit the band :)
nice to have found it at 40 I so wish and sure you do we found it in our teens or younger :)
"I quit the band." That's statement had me laughing!
Hi I’m 66 grandmother able to keep up with the kids much better. I started carnivore diet mid jan ‘24
So much better. My 5 autoimmune diseases symptom s are almost all gone . Sleeping thru the night Great reduction in anxiety and depression.My daily restless leg has stopped at night My CAC score from April 2022 was 175 and redone April 2024 it was 175!!!! Hopefully it will drop more
My fasting insulin dropped 12 to 5 in 3 months

My occasional monthly tinnitus is gone
My eye floaters gone too!
My sensitivity to light better
My watery eyes nightly is gone
My snoring gone
Great mood and much motivation to get daily chores
I love your channel and share it with everyone I can 😊 Bless you , Jean
thanks for sharing and congrats on feeling better and making git happen and realizing its never to late to start :)
for sure those things we just accepted for so long being gone or radically reduced are one of many things that keep me going its so life changing and do wish I could get everyone to try it :)
and thanks so much for sharing to others truly appreciate that :)
enjoy your down to earth talks. I am 75 and been on carnivore for 2 I/2 years.
Lost 45 pounds and still have 30 to go but taking it slow because I have neuropathy in legs and can't work out hard. I do go to gym Monday and Wednesday and Friday and walk a slow mile each day. I also have noticed better vision. and better skin. I eat late breakfast and early dinner and never snack (lots of rib eyes for dinner) (sou vied). and Bacon & sausage for breakfast.
sounds awesome :) and thanks :)
the old saying preaching to the choir applies to what I am going to say :) but me being over 60 you being 75 know this more than me I am sure
we realize things can take time and maybe to say the patience I feel is a good part about this it does happen eventually like I found with loosing more than I was told was possible and truly getting that weight back down!
At 75 lbs? Wow!
as a female the fat gets softer and softer and looser then it tightens back and its all gone. its very rewarding... like my body "works like its supposed to" when it never did before carnivore...
thanks for sharing :)
70 yr old man here. 15 months carnivore. Many similar changes noticed. I still drink coffee with heavy cream in the AM.
I had severe cluster headache syndrome...(They're called suicide headaches for a reason). Neurologists told me there
was nothing to do short of extremely invasive surgery and/or ridiculous electrical implants. This is what prompted my
interest in this diet, and haven't had a headache in more than a year now.
I do have an ongoing sinus issue that began with the headaches, and I'm fairly certain it would go away if I stopped the
heavy cream and coffee, But haven't made the jump to a coffee-less morning. Probably will eventually, but I do love my
coffee in the morning even though it is an addiction.
BPH (enlarged prostate) is another issue i'm hoping will disappear...It is a pain to deal with and affects my sleep. It does
seem to be getting better slightly, but we'll see. There's some good data about oxalate dumping and even insulin storing in
the prostate, causing inflammation/enlargement, and it takes time to get these deposits out of the gland tissue...Which
makes sense.
To me, the worst of this lifestyle is other people's judgement. And even though I've lost 40-50 lbs. and have a 32 in waist,
there is an overall tendency for others to disapprove of such a radical diet. I guess it's isn't surprising since we've all
suffered from a lifetime of indoctrination from experts and authorities pushing every manner of lucrative, "science based"
narratives, with little regard for the disastrous results in overall physical, mental and societal health. Anyway, thanks for
posting...I've subbed and liked....
thanks for sharing and sub :)
so good to hear stories and even things like the BPH that I do not have but others do the more we get info and sharing going on the more we hear others stories good or bad with it and find out what is really the way we should or SHOULD NOT be eating the junk they say is healthy :) funny how we are being lied to (tin foil maybe maybe not)
had to google that Cluster Headache
I know my migraines were more consistent so not that cluster than thing but can see that also as being horrid
worked on boats long chunk of my life we used to joke the difference of being hung over or sea sick is
Hangover you feel like you are dead
Seasick you want to be dead !
I found the headaches the same way its like you want to die to get it over with (figure of speech) but they were so bad you really did wonder truly if they could kill as you as the pain was so severe I would start throwing up and not be able to function truly scary bad stuff
the cream coffee thing is tough my espresso and cream habit did not stop till 2 yrs in to carnivore :) so with ya on you will find it one day I am sure
yeah the other people
these days I just shake my head and kinda do this hand swipe thing saying look I am proof from being in shape to getting OUT of shape to now back to my 20s and 30s weigh and more important FEEL at 60 of being young no more joint pains no more getting the old body going in the morning climbing out of bed hearing the cracks and pops going down the stairs etc...
so that last paragraph is so so so true "indoctrination" and LIED to big time and its still pushed on us and as I keep saying the fact they are trying so hard to say this is bad kinda proves we are on the right path to health :)
One year carnivore, fewer bathroom breaks, no body odour, no bad breath, skin tags all gone with shiny skin......I can go on.
Thanks for sharing the more voices the more successful posts like this makes it hard for some to ignore this does work so thanks again :)
Two years on carnivore diet, and it has been transformative, including in many of the ways mentioned on this video. One complication: at 4 weeks, I hit oxalate dumping. Sally Norton's book Toxic Superfoods (and her many YT videos) gives the details of what that is and how to manage it. Getting 66 years of oxalates (e.g., loved rhubarb as a kid and have always eaten too much dark chocolate) out of my system has made carnivore even more life-changing for me.
thanks so much :)
2 years is awesome
the oxalate dumping is interesting as I was never a veggie eater more a carb guy but know it happens to some great info to share :) thanks again :)
How long did the oxalate dumping last, and how did you resolve it?
@@FlufferNutterSandwich Oxalate dumping can continue for anything up to 5 years or more. Sally Norton herself, who was in a really bad state (wheelchair, etc., which she managed to recover from) is still having dumping episodes after 11 years, she says. Discouraging, of course, but on the other hand, the episodes get less problematic (years 2 and 3 are said to be the worst), and gradually one feels so incredibly well when away from the dumping that it becomes well worth the effort. You resolve it with a carnivore diet, by retaining about 50-60 mg of oxalate intake (in my case, that's 2 cups of black tea - total 40 g, and 2 thumbnail-sized pieces of dark chocolate for 25 g, total daily oxalate intake 65] which slows the dumping process to a manageable level. Beyond that, on a carnivore diet, the body will heal itself.
@@Druids234 For me, it's mild and easy to manage, but annoying. Daily, I wake up with mild knee pain, but drinking a cup of black tea instantly resolves it. I was just hoping to come off of caffeine, but until the oxalate dumping stops, I have to stick with the tea.
Fasting is the express train on this.
Man, I love videos like this. Been doing keto since November 23 before Thanksgiving. I feel the best I’ve ever felt in my life and I’m 52 years old. No joint pain, eyesight is better, my hair has gotten darker, I sleep better, skin is better, and I’m down 28 pounds. I’m never hungry. I could have cheat meal every once in a while with no consequences. This is a fantastic way to eat.
Thanks for sharing :)
Yeah it is amazing how just eating properly changes everything
Here is a "weird" one, day 52 of carnivore, day 23 of lion diet specifically, and my teeth are getting whiter! No more mouth or teeth pain, and my yellowish teeth are getting whiter.
very cool thanks for that :) mine stayed the same :)
Did you used to drink coffee or sodas? Both are well known for yellowing teeth.
Maybe the enamel is increasing on the teeth. Teeth are made of the same material as bones so it makes sense that bone density increases and so does enamel.
Jordan Peterson's teeth are super white. He seems too practical to bleach them. But he has been on Lion Diet for 7years or so.
Thank you for mentioning the little things that carnivores experience that most never talk about. It's kind of amazing all the small improvements that most people don't even think about. I don't get canker sores anymore, or cold sores. And I used to get them ALL THE TIME!
YUP its wild all the little things that change and just over eating properly
the canker I would get once in a while often if I bit my cheek it would end up a mess and kinda turn into one
these days if I do bite my cheek its not a huge deal
thanks for sharing :)
Carnivore for 8 months here. Lot of the same results you had. I'll add that I've completely gotten rid of the gout I was cursed w/ for over a decade, and also have no more toenail fungus, which I had for years on the second toe of my right foot. Stress levels way, way down, even though I'm still crazy busy. I do not get sleepy during the day, and during my workouts, I don't want to stop. I've worked out my whole life and have never had this kind of thing happen to me.
thanks :)
it is wild to feel this good as we should be feeling :)
read a couple others about the Toe fungus
and Gout from a few places! my dad has really bad Gout I was not sure if I was getting it but many from reading symptoms to what I was suffering I do think I was
I was afraid of the "genetics" my dad had it so I get it and I am starting to think that is not the case and its just them explaining it ? but could be wrong on that :) just have this distrust these days with "doctors" and "science" types who refuse to think Diet plays this big of roles and think medications are the answer :)
Getting rid of the nail fungus is huge. I wonder if others report this. I do Keto with mostly meat, lettuce and eggs. I still have nail fungus. I will try carnivore. I’ve tried everything to get rid of the weird nails.
1 year dirty carnivore - 1 year clean carnivore. The most unexpected change is I have no plaque on my teeth.
I still get a tiny bit but not much cleanings are fast and no issues :)
thanks for sharing :)
What is the difference between the 2?
@@frenchustube maybe @eguttuso1889 can give their thoughts
but to me dirty or clean often is one of two things
first might be allowing seasonings and coffee maybe a few bites of veggies once in a while etc.. but trying to stick to good food but some might consider it haivng some other foods be it sugars etc..
agian hard to say
I know when I started carnivore if I cheated I told myself would only be back to Keto and NOT SAD junk and lucky I did not need to but did test a few things once in a wihile to see what would happen all with negative results
the other is they might have treats that are carnivore but might be a lot of cheese or other dairy that many say we need moderation ( I am one that thinks no dairy or moderation)
but that is often how I perceive the clean vs dirty
but knowing dirty is most likely just not really strict
I am pretty strict I do have seasoning in some taco meat my boy has maybe every few months but not that often and usually just a small amount
but hope the OP chimes in for ya also
Been on Keto for almost 3 years, best thing I ever done. Always held a rock solid 12 stone on Keto, 2 weeks into changing to carnivore lost 7ib, I’m 48 and looking leaner and better now than I did in my twenties, feeling this carnivore 💪
thanks and NICE to hear
for sure sometimes going Carnivore even when they did well on Ketokicks it to another level :)
I did a “carnivore diet back in ‘72 and lost 45lbs. I noticed all the things you mentioned.
Heat was no problem cold neither. I looked like I was working out but I wasn’t. I felt great.
I read about it in a book by a doctor whose name escapes me now.
There was another version where you ate a lot more fat. I felt so good but I used it as a means to win a bet with my brother- in law. I started eating sugar and everything else and was disappointed when I gained some of it back. My whole family is a bunch of sugar addicts; my mom chewed bubble gum
(400 pieces) when she was in her thirties and made cakes and pies and cookies and you name it! I was behind the 8ball. Now at 73 I am going back to carnivore.
Thanks!
thanks :) reckon was Atkins influence in 72 then :)
but glad to hear you are jumping back on carnivore :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore The book I read was by
Irwin Stillman (sp).
He wrote about high protein but also wrote about high fat/protein.

I lost 45 pounds to win a bet with my brother-in-law. I used this diet and all the water I could drink. Thanks for the link.
I like your presentation style. I am 76 and have been ketovore for nearly 4 years. I have experienced almost everything you mentioned. This is a great way of life for me.
thanks I appreciate that :)
no need to come up with a character at 60 :) hahahaha plus I just like people that are themselves and not this odd fake feeling persona :)
great to hear ketovore for 4 years :) quite a few out there who have been long term and great for others to see YES you can do this long term
Been carnivore since last October. Initially started 30 days for blood pressure problems and stayed on it ever since. My joints don’t hurt anymore, probably due to the fact that we have more fat in our diet. My wife and I started together and we each lost 10 lbs. We were quite fit and slim before carnivore. Anyways, we look and feel fantastic and shopping is so much easier. Cheers. 🇨🇦💝🥩🙏
Thanks and good to hear why you came into it :) and why you are staying
After several false starts... you have inspired me to go for it!
CONGRATS and thanks
It has been so life changing for me this is why I stated this was to just get more voices out there :)
I try to never say good luck as luck is not a issue :) we just have to say OK I am doing this!
Or just make it happen and you will be blown away in a few months and for me those few months gave me the motivation to continue :)
Another great video!! For me there wasn't ever enough carbs or sweets. Nothing satisfied my hunger UNTIL I started Carnivore!!! Mainly it's fatty meats or add butter, Himalayan salt, bacon and eggs! It's amazing how the hunger goes away! Make 1/3rd lb burgers rather flat, or buy them from Gordon's Foods. Cook meat so it's still pink in the middle and it will digest so much better and tastes so great with the salt! Add the good salt! You'll be feeling so much better, weight comes off, sleep is good, blood pressure is normal now, skin condition is much better, energy is so much better! I'm much more positive and think positive and say positive things to myself and others! It works! I walked today, have ya'll? Just do it.
thanks and AWESOME to hear !!!!!
These little things are important indicators. Right track.
Thanks and YUP its often that HUH I do not notice this anymore and realize WOW this is so nice to not have these issues I have had for so long
I am praying. For everyone’s eye sight tho be healed. I have found everything he is saying to be true.
thanks so much :)
do wish mine was even more BUT it has improved so that is great :)
and some have commented they have quit glasses that is wild :)
1 ½ yr carnivore after 8 yrs clean veg based keto. Diagnosed with RA. at 67. That’s why I decided to try carnivore. Everything is healing !! IBS GONE IN ANWEEK. 10:06 Itchy flaky ears Gone. Sebaceous cyst on back Gone. Don’t need reading glasses anymore too. SKIN HAIR NAILS ALL GREAT. Age
Spots fading!! I’ll be 69 soon and feel better than the last 20 years❤
thanks and started smiling reading all these awesome things and hearing your healing :)
truly amazing what can happen with proper nutrition :)
I know I was starting to feel OLD like this OH NO this is not fun getting old warming up the joints every morning and so much of that gone and that is something I wish everyone say 50 and above who is feeling old would try this and realize NO you do not have to feel old :) we have the wisdom and the ability to still do things we want :)
Liked and subbed. This video finally did it for me. I'll be going to the grocery store and buying meat in the morning. I've been on the fence for months about whether or not to try carnivore. I'm now off the fence and ready to get my health back. Thank you!!
thanks and great to hear :)
I do hope it goes well and I know myself it takes something to make you say OK this is it
for me that was a friend and the old sick of being sick
just remember that first few weeks adjusting can be tough for some :) but once through WOW its like you come out of this storm you were in for ever and did not realize or remember what feeling good was :)
Hearing of your (and others') tinnitus improvement makes me almost quiver in anticipation of that happening to me. That particular curse and neuropathy are the two conditions that I aim to get rid of. As far as NP goes, my feet usually itch a lot, but since starting carnivore almost 5 weeks ago the itching is nearly gone, so I think my foot nerves are beginning heal and regrow. I am still suffering a lot from the carnivore flu, which mainly consists of hopeless fatigue. Still, my sleep has improved a lot (sleep through the night), my blood pressure has dropped from 130s/70s to 110s/60s, depression and anxiety are greatly diminished. I wasn't thrilled when my weight dropped from 165 to 147 on my 6-foot, 79 y.o. body, but once the carni-flu is over I look forward to bulking up.
thanks and really hope you get that benefit or at least have it greatly reduced :)
I know I can never say when some of these things occurred for me as it often is that HUH what its gone thing :)
for me I will say this took longer than the weight loss
for sure give it time :) the flu things hits everyone differently for sure Just hydrate well and as many say and you might have read electrolytes can help
sounds like the sleep is good :)
take care and if you do notice other things feel free to share I do think it helps when other people read these and I truly love to hear these stories :)
It's likely that the weight you lost was mainly visceral fat from in and around the organs, which you're better off without. Be sure to include plenty of animal fat in your diet and your weight will normalise. Lift weights to gain muscle.
@@jenswalks I'm sure I lost visceral fat, but my arms and legs are a lot thinner too. I eat 1.5 pounds of ribeye daily along with a stick of butter and snacks of bacon and pork rinds. I drink water with electrolytes. I suppose me weight will normalize once this punishing flu is over. On days that are slightly more energetic a use my dumbbell set and have added upper body muscle even though my weight it stuck at 147. Thanks for your comment.
You are doing great. Maybe you would be helped with the flu by adding electrolytes to your water. I wish you the best!
I'm into my second week on carnivore. I have always struggle with diets as I'm a sugar junkie but i can honestly say after this lifestyle change i no longer have my cravings I've noticed my body is changing and i honestly can't believe how simple this is to follow. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle and in most cases to which I've read.. it's a lifesaver. Good luck on your journey folks. Onwards to wellness/happiness 👌🏻
thanks:)
and yeah its pretty wild and even if you get some OH NO thoughts often the feeling better keeps you on track :)
agree lifestyle :) or the proper term of diet the way we eat NOT hijacked to be a way to loose weight this gives us weight loss but it also brings us health
@@MinimalistCarnivore cheers! 🥩🍖🍗
Hi! I am now 78 in Finland. 2 years keto and 4 carnivore. When started lost 8 kg in 3 months. Since then no changes. I had very high calcium score but it stopped growing. Played soccer starting 8 year old and still playing. Interesting to read your changes in the body. Some similarities. I dont get tired like my friends, no smelling, no sunburns. Doctors try to put me on statins. LDL is 360. I believe on Dave Feldman's study on lean mass hyper responders. Very interesting!
That's great! to hear
agree about the cholesterol levels and have seen some stuff of his might rewatch so thanks for the reminder :)
also like Ancel Keys and the cherry picking who paid him that I think was such a tragedy this fat is bad and put the US and many other countries that followed on a course to where we are now !
its nice to see some doctors truly wanting to look at things with open eyes and realize OK they had it wrong
I know Dr. Chaffee has said about some folks not looking as old as they are its more this is what they should look like or act like such as yourself not getting as tired we not getting so sun burn its more what we should be able to do as humans that did not just live in homes before but outside working and makes perfect sense we would have had much more ability to NOT sunburn or be as temperature intolerant as we are now :)
thanks for the great comment :)
I’m 70 and I have bad health. I’m about 3 weeks in and one of the first things I noticed was my eye floaters are better. I van still detect a couple but they aren’t as prominent anymore. My skin is starting to look better. Still dry and thin but nowhere near like it was. Most of my indigestion is so much better. Wow what a change. I’m sleeping some better. About a week in and started a list of all of my “ailments.” I had binge watched so many different carnivore videos and I kept hearing about all of the wonderful, amazing things that were happening for different people. So I wanted to see what, if anything, would change for the better in my future. I tend to be a skeptic. But I do want to thank you for what you’ve been doing. These videos are inspiring to stay the course. I have a long course as I need to lose about 100 lbs. so inspiration really helps.
HI and you are welcome and thanks for watching :)
for the 100 lbs the old saying one step at a time and one day at a time is so so true and soon enough you will be looking back going WOW !
that is awesome to hear about the eye floaters and how quickly they got better :)
and of course all the other things
I hear ya on a skeptic as there is SO much info that is NOT correct sadly and sometimes trying all these "other" things takes time like I did to find health and the fact this is so demonized and we are told do not do this yet when we do as you know now we find health and vitality a new look on life and so so so many get off meds etc.
does make me even more skeptical of all the other lies we are being fed to what is good for us what is healthy
again one day at a time and look forward to hearing more :)
61 y/o male, 326 lbs, I started carnivore on December 15th 2023. I also decided to put aside all alcohol.
Today: January 2nd, 2023. I have lost 12 lbs (314 lbs).
I feel so full and satisfied after I eat that I only need to have 2 meals a day. I'm pretty sure I could easily do with only 1 meal a day.
The pain that I always have in my left knee is down by at least 60%.
My skin issues are noticeably getting easier to deal with.
Starting to sleep more soundly every night.
The only negative thing so far is my digestive system is taking some time to adjust, but I hear that can take up to a month or so. I'm not worried about that.
P.S. Not bad for 2 weeks
P.S.S. I need a deep freeze
thanks and CONGRATS :)
Yeah deep freeze is nice to have
Yeah digestive can take a while but its worth it
And cant wait to hear how its going we are very close in age to :) but its life changing for sure I think once you get that OH WOW this is working and never hungry its easier to keep it going to :)
I did it for a few months a few years ago and really enjoyed it, but fell off on a trip to Japan. 3 days back into it and you're making me think i should inspect my body now and have a detailed log of changes i go through.
well you know what to expect starting up again
and do hope you get the results ya want and the log would be great as I get so many questions on time when things happened :) then start a channel and share :)
thanks :)
Keto for 2+ years and last month started ketovore. 66yo. Interesting little things: liver spots on back of hand 90% gone, 2 front teeth that moved very, very little (
great news :)
the key floaters are interesting as I know mine went away as many others not sure its everyone but they really were a daily annoyance not harmful but nice to have gone!
thanks for sharing
I had the same issue with front teeth. They feel solid now after upping protein to 150g.
I’m 74 and ate anything and almost everything all my life. Fortunately, I didn’t get hooked on sugar, just grains. I have been carnivore one month. I’ve already lost ten pounds and I’m curious to see what else changes! Right now, I’m stiff, have sinus issues, a chronic cough and a lack of energy. Headaches have begun but I think I can blame all those issues on the terrible summer we’ve had. I’ll keep you posted. Thank you for the videos!
Hang in there I have multiple sclerosis and I’ve done this for 28 days now. I’ve lost weight my brain fog is so much better, I’ve find Im getting a good night sleep. I only eat 2 x a day. My energy is up. No headaches no hiccups. Keep going you’ll see changes 😊 I put salt in water if I start to get a headache and it goes right away.
Charlotte please do keep updates :) one month is still pretty early many even have no difference that first month or longer so might take a while for the cough and energy to come back
on the energy some find electrolytes help or just upping water intake
if you do electrolytes be careful of ones with sweeteners and try to avoid those if you can:)
the headaches might be the keto flu sometimes hits us differenttimes and how much it does effect each one of us :)
thanks so much and hold on will get better and hope the sinuses clear but that again might take a little while as not everything is super fast :)
Those problems will soon go away or largely improve.. welcome back to health
Headaches also come with detoxes. More water!
Keto flu. It'll go away. Be persistent.
Only about two weeks so far, but have lost seven pounds, digestion has clamed waaaay down and was having persistent knee and Achille's heel pain that was resistant to PT exercises which is now almost completely gone. And no more abdominal bloating. Toughest hurdle has been my husband, who is a big oatmeal, bread guy--still thinks that and a giant glass of grapfruit juice everyday is going to help him lose weight and reduce cholesteral--we'll see. Really looking forward to seeing the additional positive effects others have experienced.
thanks for sharing and yeah like you said cant wait to hear how your longer term effects/gains you will have :)
haahahahahah OH the grapefuit I used to buy into that :)
still want my wife to get on with at least clean keto but not yet :) but one day I hope so your husband might be a long wait :)
but yeah eating huge butter steaks did it for me over grapefruit juice for sure :) or oatmeal I also bought into the OH has to be steel cut or the really healthy ones :) hahahhaah Oh what I know now
Thank you for reminding me of all the things my OMAD carnivore diet has done for me. This will be year three. You named off a few things I just realized I no longer experience anymore. Subscribed today. This month is going to be more of a lion diet. The hens are all on the molt vacation, so it's a good time to back off of eggs and dairy. My fridge is so empty! Love this way of living...
Thanks :)
And I know I forgot other things truly is wild those “thing” we just one day go HUH I dont have this or notice this anymore :)
I so wish I could eat eggs :)
I HAVE to get disciplined and get to it. Thankyou for reminding me why I MUST do this plus a few other big reasons.
💝🤠🕊
thanks and your welcome
i do say its a lot of mental hitting that point or just saying OK today I do it !
that ONLY comes from deep inside each of us who do this
but once you do the momentum once we start to notice the change can be mind blowing and keep us going
so the first few weeks or for some months waiting for that does take some will power to just make it happen which is that mental side :)
easy for me to say START TODAY NOW and hope that does help trigger that to happen :)
thanks again
After losing 100 lbs. I was expecting to buy new clothes, but was surprised I had to buy new shoe 😅. Divorce - several of my patients and several colleagues who are obesity or bariatric surgeons have all said they were amazed at the number of divorces. For example one lady said her husband was half the man he was, she want the old husband back. Another lady complained he husband lost so much weight, now he wants sex every week, before it was only a few times a year. Guess she didn't like it. One lady that lost 140+ pounds, then got breast and skin surgery said she felt like a whole new person with new wants, goals and desires in life, therefore no longer matched correctly with her husband of 20 yrs so they got divorced. The numbers of divorces within these groups of people with major weight loss has been a real surprise. And YES, many who were single now felt the confidence to go get married. I've come to learn a person with massive weight / health changes, becomes a changed person. Their actions, emotions, wants and desires in life change along with the physical appearance. Hormone changes play a major roll in emotions.
thanks and hahahahaha about the shoe it took me a bit to figure out I went down a size because of fat feet and almost a 1.5 size really Since I just buy the same shoes I thought they had changed at first when I got a new pair! love the Altra zero-drop trail shoes! I do miss bare feet and cheap thin slippers of the island life but hiking in those in AZ has way to many thorns in my feet
that is so sad about divorce never heard that! truly wild to hear but can see it
of course, well said about the hormones and emotions and how we change person
I do know since I have super strong faith that has kept me super grounded and more back to what I was and I think often any faith one has to lean on can be a huge thing to handling the mental side of this change we go through or even getting through it!
when I look at my life I had a rough 15 years was married before it started and maybe that helped as I am really just back to the old person she married ( sure that makes sense)
@@MinimalistCarnivore yes funny but true. I had a lot of edema (swelling / water retention) therefore had to buy a wide width shoe, obviously feet don't change in length so I wear the same length, but now had to go to a normal width for comfort. small detail people don't think about. Yes, divorce is sad and happy event, all depends on the reasons. Right? Think many obese, sick or persons lacking in energy are more likely to stay in a bad or even abusive relationship feeling no one else will want them. However, once they restore the energy, power, strength, health,.....they feel "free", no longer choosing to be where they are not truly happy. Plus, many women tell me guys are starting to look at them who never noticed them in the past. Love God and faith but it is double edge sword. Seen far too many ladies stay with an abusive drunk guy because the pastor told her to have faith and that God only gives us the loads we can carry. Well, after many years in the military, can tell you he also gave us to eyes to see the danger and two legs to run, jejejeje.
I have a saying that people will always tell you who they are; you just have to be willing to listen.
Similar to that is I have found that when I am in whatever kind of relationship with a not-so-good person, God will tell me to get out. Sometimes in dreams, sometimes with a scripture that keeps coming to mind, and sometimes both.
I think if more people listened to God, there would be fewer abusive relationships.
I think many do not realize its work and you need to know its work its not all perfect all the time and both sides have to be that way :)
66 yo male here.
Keto 1.5 years, carnivore 5 months. Take regular kefir.
Lost 37kgs.
Lots of extra energy...so started calesthenics and sprinting 3 months ago.
I have many observable improvements as listed here including also an improved muscular chest, defined arms, slim waist more overall muscle, defined legs, more stamina.
Before, I had no interest in women.
Let's just say it like this...
I was proposed to by a female friend and plan marriage at the end of this year.
At this age, porque no?.
Carnivore for 12 months. My eye floaters are gone too. I only realised after watching this.
thanks and I think that is how I often found something gone that something had to trigger it and was like HUH it's gone
if like me you try to think when did this happen :) hahahahaha
day 19 of the journey. Thanks for your fantastic content!! Very helpful and encouraging!
Thanks for watching and glad it was enjoyable helpful :) love hearing others stories so keep us updated to your journey as I do think so many reading and watching the interviews many of us are doing truly shows this is the proper human diet and the changes we experience are truly life changing :)
Take care :)
I have been doing Keto for 2 years and started Carnivore on March 17th 2023. I am feeling amazing. My joint pains are gone, and I no longer need to go to the chiropractor. Indigestion is gone as well. I started doing press-ups, and in the first week, I did 35 per day, which was 5 more than I usually do. I have steadily increased the number every day and did 70 within a few days, I can't believe it!
What I added was boron, which was suggested by, Dr. Suresh Khidwadker, one of the many doctors I follow on UA-cam. That took it to another level. I am 67 years young and will never eat vegetables again. No carbs, absolutely no carbs. I have not put sugar in my coffee or tea for at least 40 years.
Another effect of this diet is that the plaque on my teeth has completely gone. After about a week, I could feel it coming off, a very strange sensation. Additionally, I no longer have bleeding gums. I only take thyroxine for my underactive thyroid. I hope to get off of it over the next year on this diet.
Update 17th August.
Recently someone said they now had no ear wax!! I was sceptical but I can confirm this is another effect of a carnivore diet. Strange but true.
Watch this ua-cam.com/video/7Y_1fiN-1SI/v-deo.html
thanks :)
I have seen that before and funny enough started watching it again a few days ago :) tend to watch things long like this when doing the family dishes so takes me a few days :)
because my dishes are done and put back :) hahahahahah
I still clean my ears daily left over dive habit I guess but get nil and never have any excess
I know my dentist visits they clean a touch but its super fast and not sure if they are more just making sure or I have a tiny bit ? but yeah its kinda like they just do the polish thing rarely scrape anything ever maybe more like a Oh what is here and kinda probe a tooth or two ?
I do not notice it like I used to of feel the sensation of it as I used to and sure folks know what I mean by that :)
and can never see it on my own teeth these days
also I have been reaching out to folks if you would ever like to do a interview would love to have you on :) if not no worries but just wanting to get more folks stories out there
on my About tab you can go down hit my email and just a quick reminder of this post what you did the keto to carnivore like so many of us and the Carnivore benefits :)
thanks again
Thank you for this. I've been carnivore for only about a week and down 3 kilos and have never experienced such mental clarity as I do now. Maybe it's only a pink cloud but whatever it is I'm enjoying it. Also my tinnitus, which lately was so loud it woke me up at night, has been greatly reduced. I'm feeling better than I have in a long time. I still have a long way - 25 kilos - to go but so far everything is great. I do eat a lot, and often, but only meat (including fish and chicken), cheese, eggs, bone broth. I'm gathering that eventually my appetite will subside but as long as things improve the way they have been I'm fine with whatever.
thanks for sharing and welcome :)
my appetite was all over the place and did stabilize some once I hit that maintenance weight I would call it :) but also followed no pattern its like some days I could eat a LOT and others not as much
and it was not like OH I ate so much yesterday I was not as hungry the next truly just what my body craved I gave it
I'm 58, I have been a carnivore for almost 4 years, before I started with KETO, but today I am so adapted to meats that anything other than meat makes me sick and the sugar makes me nauseous. I really enjoy meats only with SALT and I add some GHEE on top, delicious, my sense of smell, my hearing and my testosterone improved a lot! Clean skin and no more Psoriasis!
thanks for sharing
we are very close in age and time eating this way :)
yeah even cream to me I test and have some once in a while I can tell for me is not optimum
Thank you! My journey hasn't been as admirable as yours or some of the other folks in the comments, however, I started carnivore to prevent becoming pre-diabetic and to loose 15 pounds. Also to improve my red blood cell count as it was on the low side of normal range.
Had blood test week before I started July 1, and cann't wait to get my next one after my 90 day "protocol". BTW, I've already lost the weight , and looking forward to a fabulous dental and eye exams.
So my friends continue to ask how I am doing on "the diet" I'm not telling them again this is not a diet is a choice to feel better.......... yikes.
Cheers all and I love your channel. Now if I could get the hair to darken again I will be ecstatic !!!!! lol
Welcome!
good to say choice to feel better :) way of life :)
What you eat is your diet, they are not saying you are dieting. Guess it’s a matter is how you look at it.
At 66 years on this planet. Been doing carnivore for 3 weeks. I already feel like I’m in my 30s again. Thank you for the reinforcement brother ‼️ Tucson Arizona
thanks and very welcome :)
yeah you are 6 yrs ahead of me but the feeling young again has been so huge for me and something I did not realize when I started I thought it was just going to be loosing weight and when it turned out to be the fountain of youth effect its why I still eating carnivore 4+yrs later :)
And... morning wood every day. It's the kind of thing people don't talk about, I've seen no one mentioning it. I'm 55. I became consistently low carb (less than 50 g a day) in 2017, but last year I went the extra step and tried carnivore for most of the year. The most striking side effect, almost immediate, was the return of the morning wood. I'm not sure to remember at what point in my life it had disappeared, but it's back now, and it's a nice feeling.
a few I'm comments mentioned it also in a interview PJ mentioned it
thanks for sharing :)
In 2019 I weighted 467lbs, now 160-165 from keto until 10/23 when I started Carnivore. Asthma is much less,had 29 joint surgeries from osteoarthritis, now dont need meds. I look younger, have more energy than I know what to do with
WOW just WOW :)
If you ever feel like coming on sharing your story with others let me know can give you my email great for others to hear
Curious what the Doctor thought and of course your own self must be mind blowing to lose that much and be a whole new you and shed the meds etc...
truly love hearing these stories :)
I'm a 66 year old newbie, two weeks in. The change in my digestion has been amazing, years of gas and roiling stomach, gone. I'm excited to continue. Thanks for sharing your long-term experiences!
Thanks for watching and your welcome :)
The great thing is more changes now even still happen :)
And glad to hear of you feelinhg better and I can say I truly feel if we all stick with this it just keeps getting better :)
For you about 5 years older than me we are very close the other thing I hope you notice is this NOT feeling old having less body aches and joint issues better and just this hard to put in words but better outlook and that is that mental clarity IMHO that so many of us talk about :)
My relationship with food has changed massively. We’re not married anymore and I’m no longer obsessed with food. I eat to live, not the reverse. No hunger no boredom
“What shall I eat” nothing like that. I am free😅
thanks
yeah its also its wild when you look back think how much time I thought about food look up recipes prep food and shop a certain new dish is often on the hunt and then requires shopping for those ingredients etc... more and more stuff in the kitchen
and of course so much less food waste etc...
Watching this just reminded me that I used to have migraines that caused me to go blind in one eye and all I could do was lay down and totally relax. Gosh, I have not had one of those in over a year.
HI and thanks
and have to laugh because a few of those were the HUH I just noticed I do not have this or that anymore :) pretty wild when we get used to NOT having things happen compared with before when it was always getting in the way of life :)
congrats on that for sure
Im 52. I started caring about myself a few years before turning 50. I eventually found carnivore. Crazy is I have done carnivore gone back to sad and done halfway carnivore with too much dairy.
I'm technically mostly healthy. Doing actual carnivore my allergies were perfectly gone, no skin tags, body odor pretty much gone, knees fine, losing weight. Basically lovely.
I can't cheat sleep on carnivore and whenever co-parenting mucked up my eating and sleep schedule i had some sad stuff. Yesterday I was running on no sleep and no energy. Fir example and carbs in a meal was a pick me up. Anyway whenever i had my sad bouts, i caught a cold/ COVID. Didn't test. Got a skin tag in my armpit and dandruff in my beard. Basically last school year with my kid i was doing a few sad meals a week but the holidays really hit me off carnivore. Like i was mostly meat based in philosophy but didn't take care to do right most of the time. Recently i had been carnivore with like a half gallon of milk a day. Dog if my skin wasn't great and allergies hit me late in the evening. So quick results. I only had cream and sugar in my coffee today. Oh yeah. Sad makes unpleasant poops. Anyway. Today i am a reformed man. Just the coffee, a little beef and a tea with salt and a half stick of butter. My guts are settling. My knee doesn't know its about to rain and i can breathe easy. Im pretty sure if i chug a half gallon of milk, which is very easy to go through over the course of a day, ill get some sad symptoms. Not all of them.
A friend of mine recently had weight loss surgery. I feel like if I'd have been more serious about my own health and stayed proper carnivore my example would have been more convincing.
On the bo thing. Ive had occasion to miss showering some days. Before carnivore that would have been unthinkable. Whenever im on strict carnivore im confident for a few hours after the shower with just using Coco butter in my armpits rather than deodorant. I do use deodorant. Basically there were times before carnivore where no amount of showers and deodorant mattered because i just stank. If i stink now i know ive been off my menu too much. If my poop ain't right or my skin flakes i know I went too far. The other day i felt an ache. Yep i ate inflammatory rather than anti-inflammatory.
Low self esteem not treating myself my best. Thats over now. Im in a band. I play the trombone well. However my vocals are hindered if im not physically on. I can't have dairy and carbs and a clear enough airway to reliably attack the notes. Im sliding around hunting them. So for my art im going full butter salt meat water. Hopefully to be freed of any physical impediment and get to learning technique. Also, being sad too much mucks up the stage appearance and choreography. One minor issue with carnivore is the clothes fit baggy and my pants fall down.
thanks for that :)
the pants to big :) time for stage pants ;) hahahahah
what is funny when I started losing I did NOT think I would ever get back to the weight size of my 20s and 30s so I bought some cloths and sure enough dropped more lbs and inches and had to buy more again :) and the previous were sadly just to big to look normal
I do think the falling off eating sad often makes some come back stronger as they have that experience of knowing what happens and feeling it :)
Carnivore was a miracle for me. I was suffering terribly from the unexpected loss of our daughter, and my father. I was in a downward spiral. No hope. I was sinking fast. One day, my husband suggested that we eat only meat. Our household began carnivore the next day. We've been carnivore for three months now. We have been living what seems like a brand new phase of living! Faith. Hope. Joy. Health. Love. Smiling. Laughing. We are GLOWING in this house together! Carnivore is the lifestyle doctors won't tell you about! I'm 59 years old, and probably the healthiest now, than I've ever been!
It is really strange to clean out the cupboard and refrigerator of all the toxic foods. How am I still alive after eating nothing but poisoned foods for so many years.
I literally was loosing my mind and health eating the foods on our shelves! We cleaned out everything! It is a different kitchen! Cleaned up and out! Clear out anything packaged. Anything that is not animal based. Cleaned up, and out of sight. I do not miss junk food. I do not miss all the pretty boxes and bright colors of the merchandise that grabs your attention and gives you no nutritional value whatsoever. Twenty years ago, a doctor told me not to eat fruit from the grocery store! I should have listened then.... But it's never too late to start carnivore! Try it for three months. You will look unrecognizable to EVERYONE you know! Amen.
Hello and thanks that was awesome to hear :)
Yeah we are close in age so the new lease on life or the WOW I am not feeling so old now is a game changer beyond belief for us over 50+ I think is when I started to notice it effect my life more
Also do you feel lied to or betrayed ? I know I do and realize my whole life we have been lied to about what is healthy and what we should be doing like the eat fruit you were told 20 years ago
But agree we are here now and living healthy eating healthy
I know also this has made me look at so many other things with a hefty dose of skepticism :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore Hi! It's never too late to be awesome! Do what you know is right. Everyone has opinions. Everyone knows EVERYTHING these days... But! Our mind, body and soul knows what's best.

@@timewithholly7076
Hahaha love that and so true :)
I do think our generation also did not care what others were doing as long as they did not push it on us unlike today so I think we have a edge on some who let others get to them maybe to say :)
cant imagine losing a child (I have 2) lost my dad recently wife lost her mom a bit before that and its still effecting me more than I thought it would and no it just takes time and will never go away but maybe deal with it better over time?
I do think this getting in shape also to be the best I can for my family so I can be productive and helpful and not a burden or draw :) not sure how to say it in words so well but maybe ya know what I mean
Life is short for sure and I want to be active up till the end
@@MinimalistCarnivore Stay healthy. Your faith and family will pull you through. Focus on positive thoughts and prayers. Feel ALL the emotions. That's why we all have a mind, and body. Feel all the feelings. Bring your comfort circle tight and close. Let everything and everyone fall off to the side that does not bring you peace. Grief and living do not fit well together. Not many can deal and cope with grief. You'll quickly find out your circle is smaller than you thought. That's ok. Feel all the feelings.... You'll know when you should stay, and you'll know when to walk away... Be kind. Be faithful. Be yourself. I've been through so much heartache. Not everyone in my life is still present. A few have wondered away... That's ok. Freedom to choose. Like choosing the Carnivore eating lifestyle. Not all will support. Not all will be understanding. It's ok. Grief. Life. Carnivore. So MANY changes. Our personal journey is our very own. Each day clips away. Each day is our own. Find your core support. Stick with this circle. Do not include yourself anywhere else. I've realized how deep my mind and body and soul is. It's a vast thing. How would you ever be able to understand anyone else on that level? Carnivore has helped me clear my mind and thoughts. I am not hopeless anymore. I am not desperate. I am opposite. I am hopeful. I am now once again seeking enlightement and encouragement. Each day is filled with happiness and joy and comfort from the family that's stayed close to us in our needing times. Be closer to those supporting you. Stay away from the negative. Do you have a box of sugar doughnuts on your counter? No! So, why would you have unsupportive people in your life? Be you! Be carnivore! Be healthy! Glow! Beam! Enjoy each day! You and your wife can pull each other through each day! Stay positive! Believe! Feel all the feelings! Get them out! Shout out if you need to! Scream for gosh sakes! FEEL LIFE! FEEL FREE TO EXPRESS!
I'm also noticing improvements just like yours. The vision improvement is slow but sure. Maybe I'll even get the hearing back in the wonky ear. That would be welcome, but I know that carnivore life is not a panacea. Still, very happy to keep going from 95 to 100%. Thanks!
yeah vision was/is slow but interesting
and thanks for sharing
I’m 126 days in and my weight loss has been very dramatic. I still get headaches but hoping they go away eventually. I’ve been getting them since I was 10 and I’m 35 now. I started at 310lbs and weighed in at 231 today. The weight loss is great but the health benefits from going carnivore, that’s where the real life changing things are happening! Love your channel my man!
thanks so much :)
that is awesome to hear the weight loss and sounds like me and you might have come for the weight loss but stay for the overall health and feel :)
do hope the headaches go away I know my migraines did and not saying yours are the same but do wonder if some of mine were more lack of proper sleep and of course the huge push garbage diet :) but its one of those things (headaches) that make life tough to have all the time so can relate
also wanted to put this in its own reply :)
I do lean on faith and while some might not have the same faith I do joke Moses walked the desert for 40 years I walked as a fat guy for 15 years
the idea I would get out some day or this fat me had a reason is tough to grasp but the faith does make me think OK down the line there will be a reason I often think some of this is sharing and I hate to say helping others as they are helping themselves on this but maybe sharing my journey helps as I know I had very few in the start and now I am sharing more it really does help know we are not alone in this “crazy” way of eating as we are told it is
and it has made my faith stronger as I am way more involved in the Church now and my faith has grown
like resisting sin is tough resisting junk food and stuff is tough so in that sense also I know I can do this even if I fall I will have grace and get back going
hope that makes sense :) hahahah kinda rambling but those thoughts are real
so again congrats on the progress and journey
@@MinimalistCarnivore that’s really great to hear about your faith and we are the same in this regard. Born again in 2019! I agree faith is so crucial. Not just faith in the cross but faith also to lean on Him to get us through the trials and temptations we come across in our walks. I’ve been overweight since childhood and have lost major weight before but ended up gaining it all back. It does feel different this time, carnivore has simplified my life greatly and when I don’t have a headache I feel absolutely incredible and energized. I think the community we have pushes our success. You can read testimonies for a week solid and barely scratch the surface of just how many people are thriving on carnivore. Something else I’ve noticed is the amount of fellow believers I’ve come across on UA-cam and in real life who are also carnivore. Maybe through coincidence but I like to think it’s more Gods providence bringing us near to those who we can relate to, not only on a spiritual level but a physical level as well. Thank you so much brother for sharing your faith with me, made my day and greatly encouraged me. May the Lord continue to bless you my friend.
@@Jimwin2
awesome
ya know I was "chunky" as a kid then lost by my senior year radically as I got into shape riding bicycles 5'11" 178 lbs stable so would go but then when I had lung issues that made me move and quit diving I gained the weight so by my mid 40s I was huge
I do think what some face a life time of weight and folks like me maybe who at least a good portion of life were in good shape face different battles and mental struggles
me its that wanting to go back as I know what it was
from some folks who were out of shape just getting in shape I wonder what is the thoughts ? some say WOW this is what I was missing or so glad I finally got here or ?
and I know each of our stories and experiences are unique but being carnivore ties us all together with that WOW it was just as simple as eating meat and I am not hungry and I do not have to do complex things or worry about menus
anyway :) take care again :)
keep the faith for sure :)
Love this video! Awesome, the changes you’ve had! I know that I feel so much better after losing 65+ pounds, but still have 30 to go!
thanks yeah loosing just over 100 and we are so close in those numbers :) ya might be like me and loose more than you thought even ;)
congrats on the 65+
After almost seven months I've had most of the changes you talk about. Dandruff was the first sign things were changing. Body odour became worse for about a week but then disappeared altogether. The other interesting thing for me was that I used to get frequent fungal infections and shingles outbreaks, but none in the last six months. Sleep has improved immensely, from barely getting 5 hours to being able to sleep 8 to 10 hours without a problem. As for mental health, which is the main reason I went carnivore, I've been able to stop taking two of the three medications I was on (NB I have monthly medical supervision), also stopped blood pressure and acid reflux medications as no longer required. If things go well I'm hoping to remove the last of the medication by year's end. The only issues I've had is with dairy - it is highly addictive for me, so I've given it up completely for a while to see how things go. Thank you for your content and work.
thanks :)
It's awesome to hear off some of the meds and hear of the other improvements
It will be really interesting to see how the no dairy goes for you :) I wish I did not have to have any but does help the no gallbladder and have to try to go without again soon :)
I think what the dandruff shampoo used to be doing to my head in/on my skin and deeper? pure chemical goo
Skin tags gone or smaller. Skin soft without use of lotions! Don’t sunburn as easy. Not noticing floaters anymore! Still have tinnitus, will try your little trick! Hoping for more improvements going forward. Love eating/living this way!!!
thanks :)
yeah, that trick is huge If it pops up hit it right away :) let me know if it works perhaps start a new comment so I see it if you do not mind :)
it never used to work that well for me so I do think some of this is the diet helping us like all these other little things we experience change with!
2 years on carnivore and completely cured of 15 year long ME/CFS which left me completely bedridden for a time and then homebound. Joint pains all gone, no more brain fog or fatigue. Long term tendonitis healed, no more migraines, heartburn gone.
You are right about still being able to stub a toe or get minor problems. I have been lucky enough to have flu and then bronchitis since December. The extended bed rest made me have a sciatica flare and it hurts like mad! But hubby is creating my OMAD carnivore meals and I know I will recover more quickly and soon be back outside wth my horses and gardening which I couldn't do for years.
Feeling healthy is wonderful but at 65 I'm delighted to have lost weight and be able to wear the same clothes I was wearing as a young adult (and not look stupid!) I agree about the hair colour. I use hair dyes but I noticed my regrowth recently was not grey. So many benefits to carnivore.
thanks for sharing :)
the ME/CFS I reckon is one of those HUH unless you have I then you know what it is :)
and thanks for sharing as if someone else was curious as they have that it shows YES it might be worth trying carnivore with your results and I am sure others :)
this speaking up and commenting making vids etc... is HUGE for the carnivore folks to show and share we are healing with just diet :)
besides that LOVE hearing the long list of so many other things
yeah the gardening and being outside that I used to love years ago that got taken away from me for other reasons I missed so much and I realize while I missed out on part of my life I am here now and did something about it like you did 2 years ago and make that choice I plead for others make it happen TODAY and TRY it :)
and with you 5 years older and many other say above 55 its never to late and YOU do not have to be old feeling anymore :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore I honestly feel and look younger than I did when I was in my 40's and 50's. It's so crazy, isn't it? Goes against everything we've been taught. I'm guessing it's easier to look better when you're not fatigued and in pain but this diet seems to actually have an age reversing effect.
It feels a bit vain to say that but nothing wrong with getting your confidence back and feeling a wee bit smug! 😁
I'm in Scotland btw so your channel is far reaching ;)
@@gwynhyfer hahaahah yeah it is as I repeat we have been lied to all this time :)
for me the feeling is the biggest part :) and I was dreading getting old now its non issue
Scotland :) very cool to hear that
the world is facing this health issue when you Look at Mexico I read the other day was highest in Diabetes and was in the top 3 countries or something of obesity now
so for sure we carnivores who have had these results I reckon need to reach the whole world :) so fun to hear from folks in other countries
Amazing results, congratulations on this and thanks for sharing!
Excellent... you've just identified stuff that's changed for me that I hadn't even realised! Had a couple of... "wow... so it has!!!" moments already. Very interested in your account on vision. I don't have a stigmatism but I'm a varifocal wearer and will try and monitor but slight vision improvement will probably not be noticed if I do that! Again, your insight and explanation of the subject matter is encouraging for those following in your footsteps 👍
thanks
I had so many of those for these like you WOW its gone what ?
and when some ask when it happens I can never say for sure its that OH what I do not notice that :)
yeah the eye site is interesting and the fact my bifocal side did not does make me wonder more WHY
Are you really answering every message?
That’s a very generous thing to do!
Thanks.
I read the comments and the responses to the comments. That’s how I see they are mostly yours, if I am not mistaken.
YUP :)
I try to answer everyone :) truly this has been so life changing for me just want to share what I can
💡The Selenium in the meat can make hair darken. In a study on aging hair, researchers named selenium as an anti-aging “compound of interest” for aging hair. Consuming 99% Meat Diet & My Eye Floaters are gone.🙂 I'm a lot thinner so have only used the AC on a couple real hot days in August and it was just run for a few hours in the evening to get the house cooler for sleeping. My body temp skyrockets when I eat bad food and lots of it. I always noticed the body temp going up right after eating a boat load of stuff!
thanks :) interesting had not heard of the selenium put that in a note to look into more ;) thanks for that
yeah the heat thing is interesting that we notice :)
Love the way you talk and explain! Thx about that
Thanks so much truly appreciate that :)
I've been carnivore since December.
Thanks for sharing!!
I am enjoying the extra time not fussing over food or thinking or shopping :)
Wow you’re awesome for actually reading the comments and acknowledging your listeners 👍❤
Thanks :) YUP try to get to everyone and hope I always can
Truly this has been so life changing and am so passionate about sharing what I can
Love hearing others stories etc. :) also spreads the word that healthy eating can cure quite a bit :)
@@MinimalistCarnivore yes carnivore has been a lifesaver for me and I just can’t believe it was right there all the time and I just didn’t realize it. Thanks to people like you who puts it out there ❤️
@@loriegosnell9355 Yeah I for sure feel the wool has been pulled over kinda thing and it makes me go HMMMMMM to a LOT of other things we might be being mislead on :)
Did take me a while to get on this but here now I often thought Oh enough voices but also at it 4+ yrs I can be a voice that says YES you can do it long term and I am on a budget like many so also can be done on a budget that is NOT just ribeye :) maybe one day as those are my fav cuts though
But recently been eating a lot of lamb and doing well which I have to get a video out on :)
Thanks again :)
The eye floaters disappearing is amazing! All these potential improvements really motivate me to stay the course since most have been life long issues for me too, great video.
Thanks so much and do hope you get those I know some see the eye floaters going away so will be interesting if yours do go and what else changes
For me its more that fountain of youth and just over all feeling young again
You mentioned healing faster and better.... For me, I once got a very serious burn to a my tumb and index finger... Really serious... I grabbed ice cubes and rollled them around my burns for the evening... Next mornning, you could see the effect of the burn but I couldn't believe that there was practically no pain.
Your testimony would be one of the only ones that lists almost all the benefits I also experienced after the same amount of years on the carnivore.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing :)
And I kinda had a chuckle as that is what is so wild when folks read these kinda things happening all from just proper human diet along with the others and more that some folks had issues with :)
Yeah truly IMHO and many others I am sure we have been lied to about what is healthy :)
After a month (about 5 weeks) I got my sense of smell back. I lost it during covid and only got less than 50% back.
Now it is finally back completely.
HI :)
good to hear its back completely :)
Mmm, that's interesting. I lost it during Covid as well, apart from roughly 5-10% in my left nostril. Hopefully I get it back too.
I lost it due chronical sinusitis, I hope to heal it with carnivore
Found this very helpful. And his voice is quite soothing. I just started carnivore, so it’s awesome to hear positive messages amongst the sea of negativity towards the carnivore diet.
Thanks so much :)
Its always funny to hear your own voice as I think I sound so funny :) hahahah but reckon most of us think that way when we hear ourself :)
I know I still get push back and they try to throw out facts I know are false and if I say NO this is the truth I get this look from them like I insulted them :)
Sadly so many are so misinformed and buy into the lies being pushed as fact now and even if I show a study showing the opposite they say OH well that one is bad when I say so you pick and choose what you want to believe than ?
And I try to say TRY IT so you know for sure and experience it but always met with NO WAY its to dangerous etc...
I can corroborate a few things that happened to me as you describe happened to you. 1. No sunburn. 2. elimination of skin tags. 3. more comfortable in hot weather. This summer I heard people complaining it was too hot. I thought the weather was amazing and enjoyed being outside. 4. The skin on my feet is so much better. I used to have thick pads of dead skin on the ball of my foot and under the big toes, and under the heels. I used to have to trim the dead skin weekly. A few months of carnivore, and it peeled off. It was inconceivable, it just peeled off in thick pieces. Now my feet have strong skin but not dead, dry skin. I can feel my socks. 4. I used to get sinus infections for months. Which meant nasal congestion and sometimes blood in the nasal mucus when I would blow my nose, and sinus drip into the back of my throat. That is gone. Just gone. My doctor used to tell me it was allergy to pollen and dust. Not a problem any more. 5. I am seeing better. I used to wear progressive trifocals eyeglasses because I couldn't see near, middle, and far distance with a single focal distance lens. Now I can wear single focus lenses, which are much less expensive, and my eyes are able to shift from near (like reading computer screens) to far (like seeing traffic when driving my car). I still cannot see very near, as you describe, so I have to take my glasses off to read my smartphone.
the weather thing is interesting and glad to hear others also find this :)
the foot thing to someone mentioned and I was like YEAH I knew I would forget that :) I am in bare feet most the time so mine was a pretty gnarly cracked mess still rough but in a natural walking on it way and NOT all cracked and dry and gnarly :) as you said strong skin now :)
I need to get in for my glasses ASAP will be interesting what the new ones will be like for me and get away from this going back and forth I am doing now :) hahahahahah
thanks so much for sharing :)
I just noticed my feet being soft and no callus anymore too! As well as now being able to use far distance glasses only and take them off to read my phone.
I'm almost 64 as a have been Carnivore as long as you, 3.5 years and I'm loving it.
when you say almost I was saying almost 60 for a bit :) wonder if there is a bit of I am OK where I am at cause I feel so good so getting older is not such a big deal feeling to us carnivore folks?
or not :) hahahahahah
thanks again :)
Thanks for your great content, style of communicating and unique take on Carnivore!
I’m just a month and a half in but anxiety is gone. Even and steady energy level. Most importantly I’m not a slave to hunger! Down 10 pounds. Energy level to lift weights and swim are off the charts. Injured myself because I felt so strong. Try not to do that! Slow and steady. Body is reshaping itself. More muscles already. 🎉 Carnivore diet took some initial adjustments. Fun to tweak especially when tweaks make things better. Finally, when eating non-carnivore I usually pay for it some way usually with indigestion or discomfort. Friends I haven’t seen in a while notice a difference immediately. Biggest takeaway is when you don’t eat enough fat the diet doesn’t really work but the amount of fat needed is unique to each individual. Just figure out your sweet spot!
thanks :) and nice to hear about the Anxiety going away!
truly is wild and more folks need to try and experience this way of life!
agree on we each need to find our own amount and test it
