My dog was getting fed fake food like kibble and canned food. At 5 years old, he was overweight, inflammation in his joints, he could hardly walk, bad breath, I put him on canavore diet, he is almost 8 years old now, and he runs like a puppy again, his bad breath and gums improved, he's not in pain and better mood, no more limping, etc, etc, dogs DNA is 99.9 % wolf. I am doing keto at the moment. My arthritis pain is 99 % better, thanks, Dr. kenDBerryMD
Same with me and my 8 year old 60lb dog. Health greatly improved with carnivore. How did They convince us that dogs should eat potatoes, rice and lentils?😂😂😂
We rescued a 13 year old, 17 lb wire haired terrier three months ago. (A gift to my husband for his 82nd birthday.). She was eating horrible cheap kibble and had been through surgeries for all kinds of lumps on her. We put her on a raw carnivore diet...she's a different dog now! Runs around and so energetic and happy. So happy for her. And hubby has a dog that gets to sleep on the bed beside him, first time in his life. He's very happy now too. Now if I could only get hubby to eat like the dog. 🙄😄
Adding to my previous comment, my friend has a husky, suffering from seizures, and the vet put him on meds. It wasn't helping much. I told my friend to put him on a carnivore diet, and his seizures never came back again, and he stopped chewing things around the house also, iam so glad my friend listened to me .
My longest fast was 40 days, only water and electrolytes. Completely reversed my super high A1C and blood pressure, and improved my eyesight. It also turned me to eating meat. I was vegetarian since childhood and hated the taste and sight of meat. During the fast I suddenly had dreams about eating meat, my body started telling me I need to eat it.
What is his 90 day challenge like is there a charge like Steak and Butter Gal Gang group with coaches primeing and feasting and fasting etc. Or just doing the challenge that he recommends.
I can’t believe we’ve all been lied to for so long. I just imagine how healthy I could’ve been and could be now if I’d just eaten meat my whole life. Keep up the good work Dr Ken❤
I know right…. I was diagnosed with colon cancer at start of this year, I listen to Joe Rogan religiously and had heard a lot of talk about carnivore from there and it’s benefits, I brought it up with my doctor thinking it might be good for me, doctor dismissed me straight away telling me it would cause high blood pressure and or a heart attack …. Makes me mad and sad at the same time that I could of been feeling so much better then I have for almost this entire year
Thank you Dr. Berry. I am in week 6 of a carnivore diet. Type 2 diabetic and am steadily reversing this disease. A1c is down from 7.8 to 6.1 Average sugars around 128 down from 150 to 180. I was on a max dose of metformin 4 tablets a day and injecting 52 units of basaglar long acting insulin. I am off the Metformin, and down to 20 units of insulin a day. Todays fasting sugar was 101 yesterday fasting was 94 on 25 units. this was the first test on 20 units. Only eating meat , eggs and butter. Some sour cream and cream cheese.
my sugar today after 20 units has gone up a little but not high at 138 after breakfast of 4 eggs. I just tested at 126 so it came down 12 points. I ate my lunch of two beef cube steaks and a glass of water. more test results later.

Just started carnivore 7 days ago. Already lost 3 pounds. Feeling more energetic already and less aches and pains. Type 2 and hoping to improve numbers. Thank you for your research and info
That's awesome! I'm 30 days in. I won't know how much weight I lost until tomorrow. All my joint pain and inflammation were gone by day 8 and I sleep great now. I'm 51 and feel 30 again! I'm doing this for at least 90 days. I have a feeling I'll stick with it for the long haul though.
@@BlueLotus4444 I did 1 month of keto and ended this month with carnivore. I lost 10 kilograms. I’m not sure what that is in pounds but gained muscle. My gut has got used to it now
I’m 67 years old. Last easter I did a 15 day fast. My hunger hormone left me after day three. I’m currently doing intermittent fasting I eat between 11am and 5pm daily.😊
Hello from Menifee California. I'm 63, started watching you about 7 years ago. Started my Keto lifestyle then. I tried carnivore for a while but now I do a bit of vegetable, cheese and avocado. Still down 60 pounds and off all meds. I do IF on and off but to answer your question, the longest fast I've done was 45 days. Way back in the stone age of 1979 I wanted to enlist in the USAF but was struggling with weight at the age of 19, I was only 5ft 4 in so to meet the standards I had to either lose 30 pounds or grow 5 inches. I wanted it so bad I did a 45 day water fast and jogged for miles a day. I needed to weigh in at 155 to make it, I got down to 135 and left for basic training.
Watching this 6 hours later. I did a one month water fast. No food for a month. Just water. Guess what happens to your body on just a water diet? No pooping. HAHA. Lots of peeing. But yeah, I tapered down my food intake to soups and then went full water for a month and then eased back in with soups and then solid foods. The first three days were the worst. After that I was golden. It was a great feeling. I got to spend more time with the Lord during that time.
Dr Berry I joined the community and have to say I would much rather give you THE $500 per month I pay in insurance than my HMO. I didn't really join to do all the things you offer, it was just to support your work. Your work is priceless. Thank you for all you do.
11:11 am. Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, new to this.B een doing your carnivore challenge since January 1, 2024. Struggling but persevering, thank you for being so informative and encouraging.
4 months on Carnivore started 9 July, then after 10 days, tripped over the dog’s bed in the dark, and managed to throw myself sideways so as not to land on the small border terrier, as a result of this inelegant dismount, ended up with compression fractures - a wee taste of Agony 101. Have managed to stop meds now, have lost 13Kg. Finding carnivore so straight forward and cheaper at the checkout as well. Thanks so much for all you guys do. Coromandel New Zealand.
My longest fast has been three days. I take a two day fast each week. Each fast day I take minerals, including salt, with water, a minimum of five times a day, using roughly 25 oz of H2O to wash the stuff down. At 64, I've been eating Ketovore - 16 eggs, over a stick of butter each day - most of it in the butter coffee with a bit of cinnamon and two teaspoons of MCT oil. The blender makes it into an emulsion which tastes fine. The part of the butter not in the coffee coats the oversized coffee cup I cook the eqq whites in. The yolks I take raw. I start with roughly nine macadamias, about twenty pistaschios, and 20-39 walnut halves. Along with that, 8 slices of c cheese. This started with Keto, and I was very happy with it. I got started with Ketovore by dropping the salad. Going ketovore improved visceral fat loss. I'd advise all on Keto to either go carnivore, or at least go Ketovore as I have.
It makes me so mad sometimes when I think about how so many times when I was a kid I just wanted to eat meat all the time and everyone was so concerned about me eating more veggies and carbs lol. If they'd just left me alone I might've been just a natural carnivore and possibly not have all these issues with carb addiction. My youngest daughter now hates veggies and mostly just wants to eat the meat on her plate and I'm all for it.
I usually eat one meal a day. The longest fast was seven days, when I first started carnivore. I had a lot of weight to lose back then. Doing well now on omad with occasionally one to two day fasts. It is partially your fault, Dr. Berry. Thank you for my improved health! In my opinion, fasting is easier after becoming low carb adapted. I just don't feel hungry most of the time. And cravings for S.A.D. snacks don't happen anymore. Feels great.
Dr. Berry you are a life saver. Because I'm losing weight and im on a strict carnivore diet in a house full of carbs. I dont even think about wanting anything carbs. I've been on this diet for 60 days + and I dont want it. I like what I'm seeing and feeling. 🫠
Hi. From my experience, fatigue is common while the body adjusts, up to 90 days-ish. In the meantime, salting food well can help - some people even try a salt lick! Good electrolyte supplements are important for the 90 day transition period too and they may help with energy. Intermittent fasting usually means eating two meals within a 6 hour window and leaving 18 hours for your body to heal (autophagy) - in other words, no breakfast. If you have a good amount of fat in your dinner (and you can add slices of butter on top of cooked steaks, chops, etc. to help this), the fat stimulates a hormone called leptin which tells your brain you are satisfied and stops you wanting to eat more for a long time - after a short while, this really helps you avoid breakfast, and maybe even lunch too! As the doctor says though, just eat until you are comfortably stuffed :) I hope that helps. Good luck - you’re on the right path!
Hello Ken, I just DL'd your PHD booklet. I am 70 YO and wanting to start the PHD. The longest I have fasted is 5 days water only. I have been watching your videos for a few years and enjoy them. I was medical lab tech and got my training in the USAF. God bless you.
hello fairly new to carnivore....keto... and still trying to find proper food.... have done a 5 day fast and several 2 or 3 day fasts.....currently doing omad in the evenings primarily meat eggs i get from a local regenerative farm....am concerned with oxalate too so i have been cutting most vegetables out I have cut out all processed food ...and any sugar or carbs....I relentlessly search ingredients and any seed oils etc etc etc are 100% not allowed.... personally I don't have a scale but in the 3 months I have been doing this I have lost a lot of fat.....am 6 feet tall and used to be close to 300 pounds fairly consistently for a long time..... I estimate I have lost 40 pounds
I always used to have cold feet. (Keto 9 years) then 8 months ago I switched to carnivore - no more cold feet! When I went carnivore I started using an iodised sea salt (called SoSalt) I have a pinch in my coffee and on every meal. Also a pinch in my daily electrolytes. It must be why my feet now feel a normal temp. Thanks for clearing up the mystery Dr Berry. Interestingly, my moods are a little more regulated too - I put that down to iodine/better adrenal function too - correct? 😊🙏🌷 (PS: still rockin’ that beard Doc! ❤)
My longest fast 15 hours, and that was literally yesterday, carnivore was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year, I only started last Thursday, so I’ve only been doing it 1 week today, but already I feel so much better I have so much more energy , I’ve even got back to the gym for the first time since my cancer operation, I weighed in at 111.7kg last Thursday, at weigh in tonight I was 107kg flat. Rewarded myself with a nice dinner of 500g rib eye. A dozen green prawns , a squid tube and a spoon of roe, (with a sprinkle of Parmesan) hoping for a better 2024 🎉🤞🏼🙌🏼
I got a customer who said she can't eat store bought eggs because of inflammation but can eat my eggs I sell. I told her that I never give my hens soy. So maybe that's why some get allergies from them🤷🏽♀️
I've done 21 day and 30 day water fast. Many years ago I did a 40 day juice fast (never do that again). But water fasts cleared up my skin (my feet lost all calluses). It was a great reset on my body health. Jerry
Yann From Switzerland here. I just want to thank you for your efforts to help us. Since 3 years I eat low carb and exercise regularly: I feel so great and never get sick. At 45 of age I have more strength and energy like never before. Thank you
I fasted for 10 days, water only, as I was told it would fix my food addiction. That was when I was 21 and the mom of 2 toddlers. I am still dealing with the addiction issue and I'm 65!!
I was keto 7 years before I started practicing and lost 120#. I teach it to my patients and you won’t believe the dirty looks I get hahah. I had a patient do everything I told her and she lost 100lbs in 6mo. A little too fast for my liking but we kept an eye on lab work!
@@gingercameronfordcrouch7057no I’m sorry I don’t. You may be able to post in a carnivore group with this request to get an idea of who is in your area.
Always appreciate your videos. I'm a 49yo ketovore. Meat, eggs, cheese, and romaine lettuce is my perfect plan that has corrected my IBO and inflammation.
Trying to prepare for carnivore for curing sibo and insulin resistance. Doing 2 meals a day now with no restrictions other than gluten and grains. Planning to move to one meal a day then a slow ramp up to carnivore and 1 to 3 day fasts as it becomes easier to do while on carnivore.
From Little Rock, Arkansas. I have fatty liver. Finally, have found your plan that I can follow. I also have RA. Have lost 30 lbs and feel much better. Fibro scan in March will tell if my liver has improved.
@@MaryWise-cn8mc, Thank you. I’m eating very low carb. My liver was very close to non alcoholic cirrhosis. I had no choice but to change my wicked ways. Are you carnivore? Are you in LR.
I have been progressively been healing from 2 surgeries last year. I also have Lyme's disease. I was depressed and didn't eat much and couldn't workout for quite sometime. I had lost almost 30 pounds of muscle mass. Being ketivore\carnivore has helped me to start gaining muscle weight back and better when started workouts again. I still have had toenail fungus - although it has greatly improved.
Q: I’ve been on carnivore for 1 year and have started to have some meat aversions. I love the way beef makes me feel, but sometimes I have an aversion to it. Would you have any suggestions? You and your wife have helped me so much in my health journey! Thank you for what you both do!!!
I have been doing mostly carnivore for almost 2 years. I had peripheral neuropathy in my feet for no apparent reason that the doctors could find. It is now completely gone! The only time it creeps back is if I go off my carnivore diet. There is great hope. But you got to stick with it, forever in my case.
Thank you so very much (and your wonderful wife, Neisha, as well!!!) for the important and encouraging work that you do!!! I applied what I learned from you about keto to help my older husband lose 40 pounds and have perfect blood work in order to prepare him for surgery on an aortic abdominal aneurysm a couple of years ago. Although I’ve been low carb Alena and worked out my entire life where you helped me out directly with on vitamin D deficiency I had had a C4 injury. I’m a black belt in a lot of martial artist get these, but I thought that the weakness and muscle pain in my legs visit due to having that surgery maybe when some of the damage it was already done so I thought my problems and weak legs when I was walking and fatigue was due to that surgery until I was found with a D level of 14 ng/ml(!!!!) - you encouraged me to review the literature myself (I’m a Ph.D. Licensed clinical psychologist - so I’m all about reading and evaluating research - please continue helping people to change their health and thereby changing their lives. The difference from D deficient to “further along on the road to D sufficiency” is like night and day. Again - thank you so much!!!
Love what you guys do Dr. Berry. Just purchased two of your books lies your doctor told you and kicking ass after 50 can hardly wait to get them you guys are awesome
Regarding managing stress at 38:20 in this video... I remember hearing a professional speaker say, "You're born... big stuff. You die... big stuff. Everything else in between... small stuff." That was in a talk I attended (in 1990) by Rosita Perez, and she was saying that was her husband's philosophy of life. Remember this quote next time you're stuck in traffic and late for an appointment.
Great information as always Dr. Berry! To answer one of your questions, the longest I've fasted has been 42 hours. It was supposed to be a 36-hour fast, but I wasn't hungry. I became hungry at the 42-hour mark.
The first time I ever fasted it was for nine (9) days. I only had water. My plan was to fast for 2 weeks, but it was so easy, and I felt so much better that I became concerned that I could become anorexic. (I know how I am!) I took a week to gradually return to eating normal. That was 30 years ago. Since then I intermittent fast every day now, and fast for several days, up to 7 days at a time, off and on. I'm 78 yrs. old now.
Q : Started my carnivore 4 days ago. Starting weight 267. My question is : How do I know I am in ketosis and burning fat? My sleep is already much better starting on day 2. Have done strict. LION diet for 4 days. Meat, salt and water or coffee. Amazing how quickly hunger is gone. Eating once a day. Thanks
Have never checked my ketones. When I started sleeping better and then having good energy during the day with no cravings I just assumed excess glucose had been burned out of body and I was burning ketones. Especially when I was OMAD. Good Luck to you.
Hello Dr. Berry. watching from TX. On carnivore diet for 2 months & down 10#. mainly want to get off cholesterol med (Atorvastatin) and another med I’ve been on since having a a small stroke ( amlodipine & baby aspirin). and bring down A1c
I started this and I have learned so much from you I've lost about 30 lb or pretty close to it since September 5th, watched probably a hundred of your videos that may be exaggerating that but pretty close, I'm getting an education and I'm a guy that will look into things and make sure I know what I'm doing, interestingly though you live about 45 minutes from me in Camden I thought that was funny there you are right down the street and you probably saved my life I'm 53 years old. Did everything I could do to lose weight I was doing all the right things I thought, nothing was working. But thanks to you now I fully understand how the body works or at least for the most part... I understand how I've been fooled all these years now. Sugar, cholesterol, fat etc etc ....I just want to say thanks I appreciate everything you've done for me and are doing.
After months of having no appetite for eggs, I had a craving and ate 18 fried egg yokes (in butter) in a 24 hour period. No beef, just eggs. I’ve never done that before and now I’m over the craving and back to beef. Good video and I appreciate the format and variety of questions that you answer.
Question. Im 67 and very healthy on PHD for years. I found out I am BRCA 2 and 2 Oncologist have said I will have cancer and geneticist tell me my risk are 80 percent higher. They of course are recommending bilateral mastectomy. I am looking for research on healthy humans to refute these claims. Doesn't make sense to me. But, I don't want to be mistaken. Thank you for what you do.

Three days has been my longest fast. I did it once a month around my chemo treatments for ovarian cancer. I would fast the day before chemo, the day of, and the day after. I had NO side effects from the chemo or Neulasta! I felt like I wasn’t even on chemo. Three days is the sweet spot!
Good for you. That is so smart and a great way to get through treatment and it's various horrible side effects. You are helping yourself so much. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Doc. I'm new to listening to this channel. Could you talk some about raw milk. Does it cause you to put on more weight? And also, could you talk about the digestive system. Taken natural over the counter for irregularity. It's like i don't get hungry if i do and can eat 3 bits and I'm full. What can i do.
I just found out I have breast cancer. Estrogen positive. I have done Carnivore for 6 months with meat and butter. I saw an article that butter increases breast cancer. I'll send you the article. Is this possibly true? I had also been taking MCT oil in the mornings. I took the BRCA test, and it was negative. Thank you for your help. Debbie L.
Fasted 30 days lost 30 pounds about 43 years ago. Then 2 months later fasted 21 days, 2 months after that fasted 14 days, 2 months following fasted 7 days. Total loss 95 pounds.

11:11 am. Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, new to this.B een doing your carnivore challenge since January 1, 2024. Struggling but persevering, thank you for being so informative and encouraging.
It’s super easy to make your own butter in a kitchen aid!
4 months on Carnivore started 9 July, then after 10 days, tripped over the dog’s bed in the dark, and managed to throw myself sideways so as not to land on the small border terrier, as a result of this inelegant dismount, ended up with compression fractures - a wee taste of Agony 101. Have managed to stop meds now, have lost 13Kg. Finding carnivore so straight forward and cheaper at the checkout as well. Thanks so much for all you guys do. Coromandel New Zealand.
Get better soon 😊❤️🇨🇦
Lucky you! All those mussels...my fondest memory of Coromandel.
My longest fast has been three days. I take a two day fast each week. Each fast day I take minerals, including salt, with water, a minimum of five times a day, using roughly 25 oz of H2O to wash the stuff down. At 64, I've been eating Ketovore - 16 eggs, over a stick of butter each day - most of it in the butter coffee with a bit of cinnamon and two teaspoons of MCT oil. The blender makes it into an emulsion which tastes fine. The part of the butter not in the coffee coats the oversized coffee cup I cook the eqq whites in. The yolks I take raw.
I start with roughly nine macadamias, about twenty pistaschios, and 20-39 walnut halves. Along with that, 8 slices of c cheese. This started with Keto, and I was very happy with it. I got started with Ketovore by dropping the salad. Going ketovore improved visceral fat loss. I'd advise all on Keto to either go carnivore, or at least go Ketovore as I have.
It makes me so mad sometimes when I think about how so many times when I was a kid I just wanted to eat meat all the time and everyone was so concerned about me eating more veggies and carbs lol. If they'd just left me alone I might've been just a natural carnivore and possibly not have all these issues with carb addiction. My youngest daughter now hates veggies and mostly just wants to eat the meat on her plate and I'm all for it.
I usually eat one meal a day. The longest fast was seven days, when I first started carnivore. I had a lot of weight to lose back then. Doing well now on omad with occasionally one to two day fasts.
It is partially your fault, Dr. Berry. Thank you for my improved health! In my opinion, fasting is easier after becoming low carb adapted. I just don't feel hungry most of the time. And cravings for S.A.D. snacks don't happen anymore. Feels great.
Hi from South Africa Cape Town
Watching from PA
Dr. Berry you are a life saver. Because I'm losing weight and im on a strict carnivore diet in a house full of carbs. I dont even think about wanting anything carbs. I've been on this diet for 60 days + and I dont want it. I like what I'm seeing and feeling. 🫠
Hi. From my experience, fatigue is common while the body adjusts, up to 90 days-ish. In the meantime, salting food well can help - some people even try a salt lick! Good electrolyte supplements are important for the 90 day transition period too and they may help with energy. Intermittent fasting usually means eating two meals within a 6 hour window and leaving 18 hours for your body to heal (autophagy) - in other words, no breakfast. If you have a good amount of fat in your dinner (and you can add slices of butter on top of cooked steaks, chops, etc. to help this), the fat stimulates a hormone called leptin which tells your brain you are satisfied and stops you wanting to eat more for a long time - after a short while, this really helps you avoid breakfast, and maybe even lunch too! As the doctor says though, just eat until you are comfortably stuffed :) I hope that helps. Good luck - you’re on the right path!
Very helpful thank you 😊
Mmmmmm!!!! Butter and steak-heart attack on a plate! I shoulda been a poet!
Hello Ken, I just DL'd your PHD booklet. I am 70 YO and wanting to start the PHD. The longest I have fasted is 5 days water only. I have been watching your videos for a few years and enjoy them. I was medical lab tech and got my training in the USAF. God bless you.
hello fairly new to carnivore....keto... and still trying to find proper food.... have done a 5 day fast and several 2 or 3 day fasts.....currently doing omad in the evenings primarily meat eggs i get from a local regenerative farm....am concerned with oxalate too so i have been cutting most vegetables out
I have cut out all processed food ...and any sugar or carbs....I relentlessly search ingredients and any seed oils etc etc etc are 100% not allowed.... personally I don't have a scale but in the 3 months I have been doing this I have lost a lot of fat.....am 6 feet tall and used to be close to 300 pounds fairly consistently for a long time..... I estimate I have lost 40 pounds
I always used to have cold feet. (Keto 9 years) then 8 months ago I switched to carnivore - no more cold feet! When I went carnivore I started using an iodised sea salt (called SoSalt) I have a pinch in my coffee and on every meal. Also a pinch in my daily electrolytes. It must be why my feet now feel a normal temp. Thanks for clearing up the mystery Dr Berry. Interestingly, my moods are a little more regulated too - I put that down to iodine/better adrenal function too - correct? 😊🙏🌷
(PS: still rockin’ that beard Doc! ❤)
My longest fast 15 hours, and that was literally yesterday, carnivore was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year, I only started last Thursday, so I’ve only been doing it 1 week today, but already I feel so much better I have so much more energy , I’ve even got back to the gym for the first time since my cancer operation, I weighed in at 111.7kg last Thursday, at weigh in tonight I was 107kg flat. Rewarded myself with a nice dinner of 500g rib eye. A dozen green prawns , a squid tube and a spoon of roe, (with a sprinkle of Parmesan) hoping for a better 2024 🎉🤞🏼🙌🏼
Hi from Cape Town, South Africa👋
Hi. South New Jersey. Thank you for making my life perfect!!
I got a customer who said she can't eat store bought eggs because of inflammation but can eat my eggs I sell. I told her that I never give my hens soy. So maybe that's why some get allergies from them🤷🏽♀️
Les is watching from California. I was told about you today and thought I would tune in. I am 415 lbs. With extreme lymphedema.
I am getting rid of my lymphedema. If you were to see it now compared to a few months ago I believe you would be impressed. Carnivore worked for me.
30 days. Many years ago. Recently 48 hours.
Los Angeles, I started keto in 2018. Lost 70lbs. Then gained 30 back. May 2023, I started carnivore I am now down 80lbs. Thank you.
Hi Dr Berry thankyou so much, you are coming in loud and clear much love from New Zealand 🎉🤸🐓🐮🦬🐟🦐🐑👣🐾👌
Thank you Dr Berry from Queensland Australia.
I've done 21 day and 30 day water fast. Many years ago I did a 40 day juice fast (never do that again). But water fasts cleared up my skin (my feet lost all calluses). It was a great reset on my body health. Jerry
Yann From Switzerland here. I just want to thank you for your efforts to help us. Since 3 years I eat low carb and exercise regularly: I feel so great and never get sick. At 45 of age I have more strength and energy like never before. Thank you
If I had an extra 2 bucks, I would give that to you right now!❣ bless you and family, and please bless me and family❤❣❣❣
222hrs fasting last year November. What an experience. 🌸
I'm watching from stanton southern California
I fasted for 10 days, water only, as I was told it would fix my food addiction.
That was when I was 21 and the mom of 2 toddlers.
I am still dealing with the addiction issue and I'm 65!!
Fasting was a good start but no carbs is the answer to food addictions. In three days of carnivore food addictions disappear.
I was keto 7 years before I started practicing and lost 120#. I teach it to my patients and you won’t believe the dirty looks I get hahah. I had a patient do everything I told her and she lost 100lbs in 6mo. A little too fast for my liking but we kept an eye on lab work!
So do you live in North or South Carolina? I am interested in finding a provider in SC.
@@GMAAndy333I live in SC but work in NC. I’m in Monroe
Do you know of any Carnivore and or Keto friendly doctors in Midland, TX?
Do you know of a doc close to hickory or Asheville nc
@@gingercameronfordcrouch7057no I’m sorry I don’t. You may be able to post in a carnivore group with this request to get an idea of who is in your area.
Hi. Wichita KS. 9 mo in. Feel good. 18 lbs down. Continue!
Always appreciate your videos. I'm a 49yo ketovore. Meat, eggs, cheese, and romaine lettuce is my perfect plan that has corrected my IBO and inflammation.
Watching from Naples Florida
3 day fast. Right after thanksgiving😮
Trying to prepare for carnivore for curing sibo and insulin resistance. Doing 2 meals a day now with no restrictions other than gluten and grains. Planning to move to one meal a day then a slow ramp up to carnivore and 1 to 3 day fasts as it becomes easier to do while on carnivore.
From Little Rock, Arkansas. I have fatty liver. Finally, have found your plan that I can follow. I also have RA. Have lost 30 lbs and feel much better. Fibro scan in March will tell if my liver has improved.
Be encouraged! You can do this. I live close by. Go Hogs!
@@MaryWise-cn8mc, Thank you. I’m eating very low carb. My liver was very close to non alcoholic cirrhosis. I had no choice but to change my wicked ways. Are you carnivore? Are you in LR.
@@BethByrd-p9b I live in Sheridan. Just wanted to feel better, I’m old! Low carb also.
I have been progressively been healing from 2 surgeries last year. I also have Lyme's disease. I was depressed and didn't eat much and couldn't workout for quite sometime. I had lost almost 30 pounds of muscle mass. Being ketivore\carnivore has helped me to start gaining muscle weight back and better when started workouts again. I still have had toenail fungus - although it has greatly improved.
Thank you Dr Berry
May God continue protecting you Neisha children and family
Q: I’ve been on carnivore for 1 year and have started to have some meat aversions. I love the way beef makes me feel, but sometimes I have an aversion to it. Would you have any suggestions? You and your wife have helped me so much in my health journey! Thank you for what you both do!!!
I have been doing mostly carnivore for almost 2 years. I had peripheral neuropathy in my feet for no apparent reason that the doctors could find. It is now completely gone! The only time it creeps back is if I go off my carnivore diet. There is great hope. But you got to stick with it, forever in my case.
Thank you so very much (and your wonderful wife, Neisha, as well!!!) for the important and encouraging work that you do!!! I applied what I learned from you about keto to help my older husband lose 40 pounds and have perfect blood work in order to prepare him for surgery on an aortic abdominal aneurysm a couple of years ago. Although I’ve been low carb Alena and worked out my entire life where you helped me out directly with on vitamin D deficiency I had had a C4 injury. I’m a black belt in a lot of martial artist get these, but I thought that the weakness and muscle pain in my legs visit due to having that surgery maybe when some of the damage it was already done so I thought my problems and weak legs when I was walking and fatigue was due to that surgery until I was found with a D level of 14 ng/ml(!!!!) - you encouraged me to review the literature myself (I’m a Ph.D. Licensed clinical psychologist - so I’m all about reading and evaluating research - please continue helping people to change their health and thereby changing their lives. The difference from D deficient to “further along on the road to D sufficiency” is like night and day. Again - thank you so much!!!
Watching from Rio, Brasil.
Love what you guys do Dr. Berry. Just purchased two of your books lies your doctor told you and kicking ass after 50 can hardly wait to get them you guys are awesome
Regarding managing stress at 38:20 in this video... I remember hearing a professional speaker say, "You're born... big stuff. You die... big stuff. Everything else in between... small stuff." That was in a talk I attended (in 1990) by Rosita Perez, and she was saying that was her husband's philosophy of life. Remember this quote next time you're stuck in traffic and late for an appointment.
Great information as always Dr. Berry! To answer one of your questions, the longest I've fasted has been 42 hours. It was supposed to be a 36-hour fast, but I wasn't hungry. I became hungry at the 42-hour mark.
Thanks Dr Berry! Many others helping me, I’m new Carnivore! Blk Coffee ??? I hear both??
Doc! I've only been on Carnivore for 8 days, and the FOOD CHATTER has quieted so much!! Thanks for your guidance!
Hey!!! Doing WOE… type 2 diabetic… thanks for all your advice! Kelly from Illinois
The first time I ever fasted it was for nine (9) days. I only had water. My plan was to fast for 2 weeks, but it was so easy, and I felt so much better that I became concerned that I could become anorexic. (I know how I am!) I took a week to gradually return to eating normal. That was 30 years ago. Since then I intermittent fast every day now, and fast for several days, up to 7 days at a time, off and on. I'm 78 yrs. old now.
Q : Started my carnivore 4 days ago. Starting weight 267. My question is : How do I know I am in ketosis and burning fat? My sleep is already much better starting on day 2. Have done strict. LION diet for 4 days. Meat, salt and water or coffee. Amazing how quickly hunger is gone. Eating once a day. Thanks
Have never checked my ketones. When I started sleeping better and then having good energy during the day with no cravings I just assumed excess glucose had been burned out of body and I was burning ketones. Especially when I was OMAD. Good Luck to you.
Hello Dr. Berry. watching from TX. On carnivore diet for 2 months & down 10#. mainly want to get off cholesterol med (Atorvastatin) and another med I’ve been on since having a a small stroke ( amlodipine & baby aspirin). and bring down A1c
You can quit statins!!!
Hi! From Tacoma Washington.
Watching from Hilton Head, SC. I love eating steak everyday!!!
I am watching from HH SC too!
I started this and I have learned so much from you I've lost about 30 lb or pretty close to it since September 5th, watched probably a hundred of your videos that may be exaggerating that but pretty close, I'm getting an education and I'm a guy that will look into things and make sure I know what I'm doing, interestingly though you live about 45 minutes from me in Camden I thought that was funny there you are right down the street and you probably saved my life I'm 53 years old. Did everything I could do to lose weight I was doing all the right things I thought, nothing was working. But thanks to you now I fully understand how the body works or at least for the most part... I understand how I've been fooled all these years now. Sugar, cholesterol, fat etc etc ....I just want to say thanks I appreciate everything you've done for me and are doing.
Hello from Juneau, Alaska.
Thank you for all you have shared. Following you has changed my life.
After months of having no appetite for eggs, I had a craving and ate 18 fried egg yokes (in butter) in a 24 hour period. No beef, just eggs. I’ve never done that before and now I’m over the craving and back to beef. Good video and I appreciate the format and variety of questions that you answer.
Thanks for all you do and for all the great info you share. Just a heads up that the link for the PHD guide isn't working ;)
Question. Im 67 and very healthy on PHD for years. I found out I am BRCA 2 and 2 Oncologist have said I will have cancer and geneticist tell me my risk are 80 percent higher. They of course are recommending bilateral mastectomy. I am looking for research on healthy humans to refute these claims. Doesn't make sense to me. But, I don't want to be mistaken. Thank you for what you do.

Three days has been my longest fast. I did it once a month around my chemo treatments for ovarian cancer. I would fast the day before chemo, the day of, and the day after. I had NO side effects from the chemo or Neulasta! I felt like I wasn’t even on chemo. Three days is the sweet spot!
How has your cancer responded? I hope you are winning!
@@92mrsrdbMy follow-up scan is clear! Yay!
Good for you. That is so smart and a great way to get through treatment and it's various horrible side effects. You are helping yourself so much. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Doc. I'm new to listening to this channel. Could you talk some about raw milk. Does it cause you to put on more weight? And also, could you talk about the digestive system. Taken natural over the counter for irregularity. It's like i don't get hungry if i do and can eat 3 bits and I'm full. What can i do.
Everyone get that guide book its so informative and very helpful . It reall helped me 🎉🎉🎉❤🇨🇦🙏
I just found out I have breast cancer. Estrogen positive. I have done Carnivore for 6 months with meat and butter. I saw an article that butter increases breast cancer. I'll send you the article. Is this possibly true? I had also been taking MCT oil in the mornings. I took the BRCA test, and it was negative. Thank you for your help. Debbie L.
Love me some Dr. Ken!
