What do people drink on carnivore diet? I have steaks tons of chicken breast eggs some cheese and have been on this a month I drink coffee and a few tablespoons of milk.. i know that’s cheating probably as Dr Chaffee refers to coffee as plant based Water gets old 😮 I started carnivore in hospital got my A1C down out of diabetic range so I know it’s working ✔️
As a Doc in the U.S.A. with 2 Masters & PhD in the field / Gym owner too... I see almost everything you have talked about in all your videos. You are so far 100% correct, keep up the great work and I will do the same here!!!
I have had excellent results by employing intermittent fasting & OMAD. The key for me is not to pass the 24-hour mark with my fasts. When I eat I make sure I eat very well. I only do OMAD 2 or 3 days per week, apart from this I'm eating twice per day but I am doing a fast every day a min of 17 hours. Another major part of the equation is making sure I have enough fat in my meals. This is vital as Dr Chaffee covers all the time. If you are not consuming enough fat the body may not release the stored fat. I'm now 11 days away from being a Carniovore for a whole year. My results have been nothing short of spectacular. A big shout out to Dr Chaffee as usual. :)
Friday, I told a guy at work about Carnivore..and what it has done for me. He said "yeah my fat brother did that"... "I couldn't do that, you're hungry all the time" I told him I eat when I'm hungry... down 110 pounds
Hungry all the time?? Maybe at the beginning, as you are coming off carb addiction but after a short time you aren't feeling that way anymore and have to really remember eating to ensure you are getting the appropriate nutrition. Being on any "other" way of eating makes you hungry all of the time and constantly thinking about food and that next meal. People that take Ozempic are taking a drug which causes your body to think it's full (artificially) and also makes you want to do "nothing", while ketovore/carnivore gives you nutrition/constant energy and a constant calm and mindset of enjoying life.
So awesome to see all these people starting/maintaining Carnivore eating. It does work. I’ve been Carnivore for 52 years. It’s done me very well. Not sure i want to live forever, but it has kept me healthy, lean, excellent energy, and slow the aging process down - considerably. I’m 69 and have no plans of slowing down, now. My social security won’t allow me! I have to supplement it.
I do mostly carnivore but eat cheese, some nuts, small amounts of non starchy low carb vegetables and herbs to season meats. Pure meat diet is very expensive so have to add stuff like cheese and eggs.
@@GuitarsAndSynths ground beef and eggs are not expensive and can be eaten for the rest of your life while thriving. Also all the foods you cut out, and you end up eating less. It is not expensive at all, its much less, and you also never have to go to the Drs unless you break a bone.
I can’t even begin to explain how much I love listening to Dr. Chaffe and the success stories of his guests. It has helped me stay the course and led to incredible improvements in my health. Started June 2023, as of June 2024. Normalized blood markers Arthritis pain in hands - GONE Sciatic pain - GONE Knee pain - GONE Sleeping like a rock all night long Down roughly 50 pounds Went from not being able to do 1 pushups to pumping out 40 at a time. No more painful BMs Crazy amounts of energy with no after lunch crash (used to struggle driving home from work without feeling like I’d fall asleep behind the wheel, very scary) So much more patient and friendly to friends and family. Saved so much $$$ on food.
All animals fast when temps go up and eat with colds. We should return to that instinct. Indigenous separate from the village and go to separate huts when toxic to heal and not spread.
I fasted instinctively when I got covid last year. That was the only time I've been sick in the last 6 years. I haven't even gotten a cold in that time.
I've been eating only grass fed ground beef and ground lamb patties (I pad them together into one large patty) cooked to med rare on grill with blue cheese crumbles on top and I have not gotten bored at all. I look forward to my dinner! (eggs and bacon for brekkie)
Try tallow instead of blue cheese. Modern herds are nuked to keep disease from spreading. I use gut bacteria enhancements also due to modern meat. My goal is wild or non treated domestic meat in a year. My body is fat adapted. However, it's going to be at least 6 months before I'm strong enough to live on meat, salt and water only. It just takes time for the body to even be able to return back. But it will. And then you will realize the level of deception. It won't scare you, but it may piss you off for being treated in such a manner by our rulers.
I did "lower" carb for a month, then keto the next and now I'm slowly transitioning to carnivore by finishing all the veggies in my freezer. I plan to alternate between carnivore and keto depending on life and circumstances. I also have been doing OMAD for 3 months. My PCOS symptoms are slowly getting better and I managed go regulate my naturally cycle for the first time ever.
Carnivore now six months. I am 71 and I probably need to cut out all dairy weight loss has slowed down. Sad face. Learning a lot from you and Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Bright. Feeling much better , but really I still learning as I go. Trying weights and exercise more.
I started carnivore diet at the beginning of December 2023 and after 6 months of ups and downs and falling off the wagon a few times it’s been an interesting journey of self discovery, self discipline, and ultimately self empowerment. In the end it came down to the power of high fat. Once I started making sure I was getting loads of fat (I started eating big chunks of butter as well as fatty meat), it was a game changer. The difference that made to my overall well-being was very noticeable, and my skin cleared right up. And the bonus was that my excess body fat melted away so quickly. I feel amazing! 🤩
Congrats on your success! How much fat are we supposed to eat? I've been on carnivore for well over a year with some weight loss but in the last 8 months I couldn't lose a single ounce. And when eating ground beef is 80/20 fatty enough? I don't understand how everyone loses that much weight and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.
@@EEEBA1the general rule of thumb is 70/30 fat to protein. That’s why so many of them like ribeyes, because it’s the exact macros. Maybe switch up your ground beef to a bit leaner percentage-and if you’re eating leaner meats like chicken breast, throw some butter on it.
Same here. I just got my head right and stopped trying to keto my way through it and just committed. It’s streaming off me faster and I’m feeling better daily. 👏🏻 I had to ease off sugar free sweeteners and I am weaning off dairy.
@@greyladydamiana You said switch up my ground beef to a bit leaner percentage? I thought I am trying to increase my fats and not decrease them? Now I am little confused. Thank you.

On Carnivore I lost around 25 lbs in a year on really strict Carnivore. I thought I would lose more but my health benefits are unquestionably excellent with no joint pain, plantar fasciitis gone, unexpected healing my sun spots/ fungus gone . More calm more time not preparing food also I never feel starving like when I was on the SAD diet. I started working out and was able to push my muscles to the maximum but a different type than when my muscles were filled with glucose fully recovered after work out in 4 days usually that would be months or an injury.
Ive been carnivor for almost 5 months now, had a coupla cheats whilst on holiday(pasta/rice) felt fine with the rice but the pasta blew me up like a bloon n felt like a boulder the next day lol! I find i need to eat dairy or i lose too much weight, ive mostly done omad n not felt hungry at all but i do feel alot healthier on this diet than all the junk i was eating! still feels like my body is still healing from 54yrs of junk/poisonous foods! Good luck to anyone trying this out, hope u get same or better results.
My issue on carnivore is I can eat only about 5-6 oz of meat and then I'm full for 24-48h. The thought of eating more makes my stomach turn. I do have a lot of weight to lose, so maybe that's why. But seeing people take down a 16oz steak, with eggs and bacon blows my mind. I can't eat more than 3 eggs at once (and that's eggs alone, not with other things) or I feel like I'm going to die. I get so full I actually feel physically ill.
That sounds like the reverse of an issue to me, if you have a lot of weight to lose as you say. People take ozempic to get into that state, and you have it without harmful medication. Stop worrying and run with it.
If you are just starting this can be from low bile reserves. Bile digests fat and gets recycled, so it builds up over time. In the meantime try easier to digest meats, but still get plenty of fat where you can. Definitely try lamb, it's fatty (especially the rack) and very digestible. Try adding in (not just outright replacing) non apex predator fish like salmon and shellfish. These are very lean (usually) so I would try to add in butter.
That's me too, I can't eat much at all, I make sure I have fat, but I don't know how people can eat so much meat or so many eggs in a day, makes me ill at the thought of it! I'm eating like a bird, but I have no cravings at all and I do intermittent fasting.
I've gone from being strict carnivore to lion diet. Since going lion I have noticed I enjoy my meat more rare to rare medium, especially mince meat. I find it easier to digest
I fast involuntarily; since starting carnivore I only eat once a day - it progressed to that from 2 meals a day. The rhing is, I am NOT even hungry when I do eat that one meal yet I devour a 20 oz steak quite quickly.
I was homeless and impoverished for 12 years... when the money ran out .... that was my signal to fast... when the money came in... fast ended... 🎉... HE protected me. HE PROVIDED .... he wanted me to experience this to understand how bad poverty really is. ❤
@Ellie the first 3 days of fasting the metabolism slightly accelerates because your body expects you to hunt. As long as you're overweight, basically your metabolism does not change at all from fasting. There have been documented cases e.g. one dude fasted for 300+ days and kept losing the usual 300g fat per day, which means his metabolism didn't slow down at all because he was severly overweight. Your metabolism slows when you a) fast when you do not have adequate amounts of bodyfat anymore (starving) or b) if you do regularly eat below your caloric needs. Also if you sleep a lot and don't move, your metabolism slows, so some light exercise for 1-2 hours per day does prevent that. Fasting is a good idea because beyond weight-loss it works preventive to things like alzheimer and parkinsons by accelerating autophagy in the body (cellular repairs). It is recommended to do 1-2 longer fasts per year (5-7 days), that should be enough. If you want to lose weight, you can do more. Also fasting is excellent in preventing and reversing diabetes type 2. Things like intermittent fasting, OMAD etc help a lot!
People don't know at all how much protein you need. Chaffee says 0.7 gr per kg. Just eat what you can. Personally (65 kg) I can only eat 500 grams meat and fat pd but that means 150 grams protein
I am in the camp that says carnivore is not a weight loss diet. At some point on a carnivore journey, your body weight will stabilize and will vary one way or another a few pounds. Then, you can vary your weight by eating less or more. Some people do this, like Shawn Baker, depending on where they want to be. Many people say they can not stabilize their weight on the carnivore diet. One reason is they are not eating enough fat and meat. It takes some folks a lot of time to adjust. A few years is not unreasonably long for this to occur. After all, many of us have screwed our bodies over for decades. While many issues are reversed fairly quickly, for some, that is just not the case. Carnivore is not a quick fix diet, it is a journey.
@@JimWooddell Very common sense advice! Thank you! It's confusing because you can have so many opinions. I see some people who can eat a lot in one meal and I'm like no way. But I agree with you that carnivore isn't a story but more a life style change!
I'm currently eating OMAD on Carnivore even though I reached my goal weight because I have loose, saggy, flabby skin to lose. I want to take advantage of autophagy to do that. I am also doing HIT strength training at home to strengthen and build my muscles. I realize that it is hard to build muscle on OMAD but I have noticed some strength and size increases. I'm concerned that if I start eating more than one meal a day I will lose the autophagy benefits.
If your carnivore autophagy isn’t an issue it still kicks in Anthony has done a video on this before. It’s hard to take in but you can 100% eat your excess loose skin away and the high fat carnivore with all the collagen it really helps
24 hour dry fast is very good for autophagy. 24 hours no food no water. I have done 36 hours no problem. Dr Filinov, a Russian doctor wrote a book called Dry Medical Fasting available to read free online. Does wonders. No longer than a few days unsupervised.
The Insta pot pressure cooker does amazing burger from frozen to rare or medium rare in eight minutes, cooked in butter and sour cream or other fats that you might enjoy
@mattm1689. We have the Ninja Air Fryer and then Bella (Steak and Butter Gal) turned me on to the Cuisinart Air Fryer. We bought the smaller unit and use is just about every day! Love it. Really have not used the Ninja since.
18:15 I believe he/she meant electro -lytes there. It doesn't sound like an examination of any sort in this context. Or at least that's my assumption given that I'm using electrolytes to help with me transition to keto right now as suggested by many figures in this space (rightly so - since I'm getting "electrolyte low" symptoms).
I caught that too. I went through the same thing in the beginning. I was getting really lightheaded and dizzy. I asked Kerry at homestead how and he knew to tell me to add some electrolytes. 🤷🏻♀️
@@nancychandler768 yeah I had one very characteristic symptom of magnesium deficiency a few times before already, so I could tell, but most symptoms are vague
I pray you can stop the crazies from running "please no more superchats" across the screen. Thank you SO....much for all you do! The Carniivore way of eating is helping so many people.
I've started carnivore 7 days ago. I also was a huge drinker 5-10 drinks everyday. Stopped drinking 7 days ago too. My body is like what the hell is going on🤣. No sugar no carbs no alcohol.
I eat two times a day in a 4-hours window (20-4) after my workout, and I consume in total 35-40 oz of beef and 6 whole eggs. Shouldn't the beef be fat enough, I just integrate with ghee.
Back in the day. Day being 800,000 years ago for example we ate as much of the grass-fed four legged animal as we could before it turned rancid or a bigger predator stole our kill then we didn't eat again until we caught another grass-fed four legged animal. That's how much we ate on the carnivore diet.
I’m now being educated to the fact that sugar is more addictive than cocaine. And unfortunately we are pushing sugar on our kids from birth. So sad. I too am a sugar addict. Good Luck!!
My hormones have been wacky since last pregnancy and nursing for 2 years. My appetite has been very low overall I’m pretty sure I’m rarely eating enough ever lately ( I started carnivore in Jan. I initially lost 15 lbs but have been fluctuating between the same 5 lbs for over 3 months now..)I still have about 25 to lose. idk what to do other than force myself to eat but it feels wrong haha
I would also like to know what @Dr Chaffee says about this too. I’ve struggled in a very similar way. Years after kids. Same problem. I am going to watch his video on hormones. Maybe that has insights. Don’t loose heart. That’s my problem after trying everything!!!! Blessings. 🥰🙏🏼💕
Lion diet? Dairy or any coffee? A reset for 5-6 months should shed some light on your issue or at least eliminate other possibilities you’re now having
Hello from England UK. Advice please. Male, aged 60, 5ft 9in, 21st 2lbs. Started Carnivore 2 days ago. I eat as follows, please advise if OK. 1pm: Beef Mince 500g (20% fat), 3 Organic Eggs, cooked in grass fed Kerrygold Butter, Maldons Salt Flakes. 7pm: Rump Steak 700g, 2 Organic Eggs, cooked in grass fed Kerrygold Butter, Maldons Salt Flakes. I drink 3.5 litres of Filtered Water daily. Is this ok? My Goal is to reach 13 Stone.
Hello All. Started carnivore 6 weeks ago. No weightloss. Eat OMAD a few days a week and 2 times other days. Diabetic blood sugar avg. 235. Not coming down. I do eat some cheese and cream in coffee. The rest only meat and eggs. Confused?
Yeah, I stalled from all dairy...even goat. I am lion diet now and it's melting. I have eggs in the fridge for a treat eventually...they are farm fresh duck eggs so they'll last after I do the lion for a month. I slept so hard last night I had sweat will a fan on me directly at full steam! Drop the dairy and any sweetener (artificial or natural) if you use them. Even aged hard cheese slowed me down ( in more ways than one) hope this helps💗💗
Also, keep chilled fats in the freezer and snack on them. Look up steak and butter gal and ketogenic woman. High protein low fat acts just like cards to a diabetic due to gluconeogenesis. Lower the protein, up the fat...but be careful. Don't go extreme or you find disaster pants! I grill a couple pounds of cheapy high fat burger patties at a time, store them in the fridge and grab 3-4 for lunch. Easy peasy. Same for dinner. Cravings are non existent. I eat to keep on trucking and enjoy my day. What a difference.
I am beyond frustrated and ready to give up. I have gained two lbs since starting Carnivore 7 weeks ago! I am very strict. The only thing I do that is off a little is have about 1/2 cup of dairy throughout the day. I even cut that out for two weeks and I didn’t lose a lb! I drink lots of water, definitely eating enough calories. I even tried to increase my fat intake but nada. I am 58, I feel great so I do t want to stop. All joint pain and depression is gone but I need to lose at least 40lbs because I am teetering with type 2 diabetes. Can anyone suggest anything?
Haven't lost any weight for the 3+ years I've been strict carnivore. Initially gained 12 pounds in the first 3 months. Stopped adding fat to fatty meats and went back to original weight. This is where I've stayed. Unfortunately, the doctor says I'm still morbidly obese. This is pseudoscience fyi. There's more research on keto/ low carb than carnivore/lion diet. I'm still going to stay carnivore, but I stopped expecting weight-loss like all these youtubers claim cause it doesn't work like that for everyone.
@@concettaworkman5895 Thank you for this. I just saw your reply. I’m staying with it. My sugars were 120 yesterday and 130 today! That is the lowest it’s been in 5 years, even when I was on semiglutide last year!
@@paulc5389 Yes, I lift daily and I walk 30 minutes minimum. Usually double that on days when my calories are higher. Even though they say calories don’t matter as long as you’re stopping when full. But I’ve counted macros and it doesn’t matter what caloric intake I have. I am staying the same.
Thanks for these videos. You're definitely my go-to-first for all things carn. You got a Q: from Staggs that is pretty close to my walk on this path. I'm 9 months on Lions, 5 months weight-plateaued. I eat primarily chuck roast. No good data on %fat there, but nutritionix says "58% fat calories". I eat until I can't fit any more and am still hungry/crave. 1-2 meals a day (usually one); 1.5 to 2.5 lbs a day. If I add more fat, bathroom-time is an absolute nightmare. After experiencing wicked foot cramps at night, I took Sally Norton's advice and supplement Calcium, Potassium & Magnesium Citrates, with Biotin, B1 & B6 (at her minimum doses), but only every other day (I REALLY want to believe that meat is all you need). And I drink about 3 quarts of water a day, and a sip of my wife's coffee once a week (to reminisce). To be completely honest, when my weight loss plateaued, my energy dropped off. I was feeling king-of-the-world there for 3 months, and now... blah. My brain fog came back. I use "Oxalate-dumping" as a scapegoat. It's hard though; knowing that all I need to do is have some au gratin potatoes and I'd be fine again (or even some other low-oxalate plant). It's even affecting my performance at work. I'm sticking with it, but it's definitely NOT all rainbows and unicorns like I've heard from others around the 9-month mark.
I am 99.9% carnivore, ocassionally having fermented pickles, olives, sauerkraut or a rare avocado. I cannot drop weight unless I am also incorporating regular fasting of 2-3) 24-42 hr fasts each week. A 72 hr fast 2-4 times per year also helps. I eat pretty high fat still any weight drop has been dreadfully slow for me.
I am full carnivore since 4 months and I can't do more than one meal a day . I don't restrict calories I eat until it does not feel good . My next meal would be when i feel hungry .I feel amazing. Sometimes I don't feel hungry at all for 2 days. I let my body tells me what it needs.
I am recovering from severe Crohn’s on high fat carnivore (no dairy) medication free, up from 41 kg to 63kg in a year (height 168cm), have about 30-40%fat each meal (160-180g of meats) but feel constantly hungry 2-3 hours after each meal, meats and fat always taste good, trying to stick to 2 meals but still putting on weight and a layer of fat has built up around the abdomen. Any advice appreciated.
Suspect hormonal imbalance? Your body is definitely saying give me more of that after what we’ve been through! Workout routine? Suppose you could up fats but some blood labs can reveal something
My daughter (55 years), had a "sleve" gastric bypass, 10 years ago, & PCOS. She's wanting to either gain a little weight or altest not lose any!!! I want her healthy (I'm carnivore). Suggestions? ❤❤❤
I’ve heard that fasting and intermittent fasting is not good for women’s fertility. But I hear Dr Kiltz promoting it all the time. Can you talk about fasting and fertility?
Honestly I was on average eating only every few days however it would be 4 or 5 steaks or 3 lbs liver ect. 5 lbs hamburger...after the 3 to 4 week detox I lost all cravings for anything sweet or vegetables ect. I was actually forgetting what day I ate last
In the Minnesota Starvation Study calories were cut in half for the subjects. The average caloric intake for the average 5’6” & 143# American Male was 3,500. The US Army estimated GI Joe living outside in the winter needed 8-10,000 calories. So the 3,500 number of calories was NOT for an active person. It was an average. So the subjects were fed 1,750 calories in the experiment. Ironically this is our current caloric recommendation. Seems odd for the USDA to recommend this.
The QnA is so helpful, shoutout to staggs, asking exactly my situation too, meat never tasting bad but getting too full. Though I'm trying to increase fat, so I started eating more brisket this week.
Seems for me, it's been a evolvement. Coming up 07/10/24 I'm a year into carnivore and, all the changes that have accrued have been nothing short of remarkable...things that are not suppose to change, did. Eating went from compulsive ( was Hyperglycemia) down to eating once a day. I recognized, when compulsively eating, I'd feel not all that great. I took it as a signal from my body to stop the compulsive eating and knocked it down to 3 meals then it turned into 2 meals and now 1 meal and feel even "more" better then before. I also seem best on beef and occasion pork chops some crustaceans and fish (homemade butter) . I ruled out chicken for not having the fat content needed, even with frying the chicken in bacon fat. Yes I have eggs with the beef as well as bacon...after that I'm good to go till bed time. I've notice too, "eating my big meal at 10/12 noon", I have plenty of time to digest the meal rather then eating that volume of meat at 4:30/5:30 pm and sleep very well and better then I' ever had.. Also took bout 9 mo's to become regular again. I recognized how much my body had to discard and went with that thinking for the duration... Am great, have pasted my medicals with flying colors ...rock on
I've learned so much watching your videos Dr. Chaffee I'm constantly learning something new!! Thank you so much for your time shared with us and knowledge. I've been on carnivore since 8/23 been doing OMAD and I've lost a good bit of weight and am no longer considered diabetic. I'm holding off to the year mark to get another cat scat just see if the diet has had any effect on my ESS (empty sella syndrome) very curious.
So the increased heart beat while drinking caffeine on carnivore diet says consult doctor's could be underlying condition,what example can anyone give on that?
How much should I eat when eating like our ancestors? I eat when I am hungry, eat slowly, and stop when I start feeling full. No fluids an hour or so before, during, and an hour or so after eating. I have not eaten plants or plant derived products for four months. I have had numerous health benefits already, in line with other people having similar anecdotal experiences. I have done sports my entire life, and I presently do triathlons, including full ironmans. I have to eat twice a day. In the morning, I eat after a workout. Lately, I have been having ground beef, four eggs on top, and then a little cheese on the eggs. Cover and let low heat do its magic. And, I eat in the evening; I typically eat just a big steak. My body is still adjusting. My bike power at a given heart rate is up significantly. My endurance is better; no need to eat on a long ride. Moreover, my running pace at a given heart rate has improved significantly. Regarding day to day changes, I don't have energy lows anymore, my GI system is getting better and settling, cramping is resolving, and sleep pattern is generally better.
8 months carnivore 188/6’2 down to 68kg/150 trying to put on weight but can’t. I work out everyday and eating bacon and eggs and red meat mostly, steak and ground. I’m trying to eat more but still tend to be feeling hungry regularly. Im guessing more fat?
It's not a good idea to workout every single day. Dorian Yates (7x Mr Olympia) and the late Mike Mentzer (former Mr Universe and 1979 Mr Olympia heavyweight division) followed a workout every 72 hours. They both did HIT (High Intensity Training) to temporary muscle failure. That kind of stress on the body requires plenty of recovery time.
If your workouts are intense and you tend to feel hungry regularly, the fat increase is a great idea. I believe you may need an extra meal or keep fat "snacks" handy. Butter bites (See: Ketogenic Woman recipes) Pork belly chunks cooked in air fryer, Chilled to nearly frozen Kerrygold Butter slices to pop in your mouth. I hope we can help!
I came across "Goodbye Lupus by Brooke Goldner, M.D." and she apparently treats auto-immune patients with plant-based protocol. I have been carnivore for 3 months but things like this are so confusing others.
Hers is quite calorie restricted and I found I was always hungry. I’d been whole food plant based for 18 years and anxiety worsened each year along with joint pain. I’m not sure the amount flax seeds she recommended was a little excessive according Dr Furhman. I switched to paleo style 2/24 and anxiety was gone within 36 hours and finally felt satiated; I truly was missing the amino acids distribution found only in meats. I slowly have decreased and cut out nuts, seeds, fruits,and have been strict carnivore for 3 days and my hip joints are so much better already than they’ve been in about 6 months. I’m giving this a chance. My sleep and cycles have been so much better since about 2 months into paleo and keep getting better with less plants. I’m almost 50. Hope this is helpful. So much confusion to which is best.
A 48 hr Fast, 72 hr, the Autophagy really cleans out the cobwebs and feels great 😊 then jump back into the fatty meats and eggs and butter, fatty fish, you’ve got the method firmly in hand.
In that study a starvation diet was 1500 calories! Most people are shocked by that. It was typical for women in that era to eat 2500 calories a day and they were not overweight. Men typically ate 3000 calories or more a day.
On keto , a good breakfast with eggs and bacon is usually enough until dinner time. Then a large steak meal fills me up to next day. If I get hungry mid day, a piece of cheese works.
I have asked you on multiple platforms to make a video about nitric oxide production on the carnivore diet. Hoping to hear your thoughts about it soon:)
@jts842. There are several youtube doctors that talk about the production of NO. The breathing exercise is amazing. Do a search for it. Basically it is heavy deep inhales through the nose and exhale through the mouth for about 2 1/2 minutes. You might get dizzy at first and will have to reduce the time you do it. It works. Amazing. And, red meat is a rich source of arginine, an amino acid that can be converted into nitric oxide. A lot of vegan types try to use NO as an argument against eating meat....and once again, they are wrong.
What if you can’t stand the taste of solid fats? I love things like butter and avocados,cheese etc. but I’ve never been able to eat any solid fats. Chicken skin/solid beef fat just gets tossed off my plate. Even if I mistake some fat for meat… once it’s in my mouth I have to spit it out or I’ll heave. What do I do to get more fat?
J'ai commencé mais 1 repas (le soir) sur 3 avec aussi du fromage (200 gr de viande et 100 gr de fromage), celui où je craque le plus dans les sucres. Le résultat, c'est que le matin, il me réclame un peu plus de sucre que d'habitude mais ce sera toujours beaucoup moins que ce que j'aurais mangé le soir. Je n'ai pas l'argent pour le faire tous les repas mais, je me dis que c'est un début.
Fasting didnt work for me because I get extremely nausciated even though i am not hungry. I have a half cup of greek yogurt to combat that and still finally eat some meat for dinner especially since when I could fast was causing me multiple infections and low white blood cells.
Doc, would you say that if you have gut issues and do carnivore , then fasting is not necessary ? I think they letting the body control is the best solution IF your metabolism is in balance and fat adapted .
Im nearly one month on this diet. Psoriasis still the same, 80% of the body covered and It still itching. Stomach still bloated. I will continue. But im losing hope.
It will change! Please stick to it for at least 3 months. Give yourself a real shot. I'm sorry you're experiencing this and proud that you are seeking out the best known answer for managing it.
One thing I really haven't seen addressed by people that advocate for ketogenic, ketovore, or carnivore diets is the amount of total protein one should be eating. Most of the people that are coming to this way of eating seem to be coming from obesity, extreme obesity, and other health related issues. I don't currently suffer from anything like that, though I did want to lose weight and get my body fat down to about 15%. However, I also want to continue to build muscle. Do you adhere to the premise that you need a gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight? That seems to be the norm from most trainers and fitness coaches.
>> Most of the people that are coming to this way of eating seem to be coming from obesity, extreme obesity, and other health related issues. That's a solid "nope". The weight loss thing gets the most attention, and that's pretty irritating, at least to me. >> you need a gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight? Back when I was doing plain old keto with lots of green veggies, I found that to get into ketosis I had to reduce my protein intake to somewhat near that level. I never measured it that carefully, but after I noticed I was eating far too much protein, I restricted it to a lump of meat about the size of my palm, and I removed the much of the whites from any eggs I was eating. I went full carnivore about a year ago, and I no longer restrict my protein intake. I eat once a day, and I normally have a ribeye steak and 3 or 4 egg yolks. Plus, at least half a stick of butter. I had to increase my butter intake to get everything to click. I am an athlete. Don't listen to "most trainers and fitness coaches." Find out what works for you by actually doing it. Try switching to carnivore for 30 or 90 days and see what happens. I tried the 30-day BBB&E challenge a year ago, and simply never stopped.
@@andyc7747 that’s basically the same measurement of protein. A 220 lb eating a gram of protein per pound of body weight would be eating 220 grams. That same 220 lb person (100 kg) eating 2.2 grams per kilogram would be eating 220 grams.
@@y00t00b3r Well said. Mainstream don't know shit about the proper human diet. I have a ton of reliable carnivore nutrition sources at my disposal and I will never pay any attention to the ignorant people that claim they have all the answers. Whatever they say, I just do the opposite.
My only plants left are cannabis, coffee, heavy whipping creme and half and half. Not into cheese and eggs or pork anymore. Sorry. 4 lbs of crispy airfried bacon per month. Gotta have crunchy

Please, Allow me to ask a couple of question about the Carnivore diet .(Sorry if i already posted before but i dont know what to do) : I am now over 180 days into a Strick Carnivore diet (I only eat meat and eggs. Nothing else but 500-600g of COCKED meat plus 7-8 eggs in a day. All Divided in 2 meals) I am now 35 years old, 181cms tall, 180lbs(+-81,5kg) at +-22%BF. I go to the gym 2-3 times a week.(lift weigths to help sustain or increase muscle mass and assist fat loss- HIT Workouts) I started the Carnivore diet to improve my body composition. I was a HEALHTY guy with NO chronic illnesses or health problems. I lost about 17 lbs(8kg) in the first 9 weeks (Mostly water) but since then I haven't been able to change my body composition. I have now gone more than 8 weeks without registering any body changes (weight loss, decrease in BF% or measurements like waist, legs, arms and neck ).In fact i have gained 2,5 lbs(1KG between weeks 10-12, but it might be just water. I still need to lose at least another 15lbs of fat to reach my goal of being below 15%BF. However, I don't see how the Carnivora Diet will facilitate this process. I have not experienced most of the benefits common to Carnivores (Improved sleep, more energy/disposition, etc.) nor have I changed my body composition significantly I am now over 12 weeks with no body fat lost. So I would like to ask a few question about the Carnivore diet: 1- How long should I extend my experience with the Carnivore diet to be able to lose the excess bodyfat I still have?(at least 15lbs of fat) 2- What is the minimum time you should maintain a Carnivora diet when it is not working for you?(how many weeks or months) 3-Is the Carnivore diet effective for those who are aldreay healthy and just need to improve body composition? I am affraid this way of eating is too restrictive, for a healthy person, with no aditional benefit from any other whole food diet. PS: Most of my time as a Carnivore i have not experience most Carnivore benefits or lost any body fat. Also, Sorry for any grammar mistake, i am Brazilian and english is not my first language. Thank you for your attention!.
Well, the carnivore diet is the Proper Human Diet according to Dr Berry and Dr Chaffee and thousands of others following it. What other way of eating would you choose? Stick with it and make sure you are not consuming any hidden carbs or packaged products or dairy (especially cheese). Make sure you are eating enough for your metabolism. 21 ounces or beef daily might not be enough for you at your young age. Believe it or not, undereating will stop your progress. It is very hard to overeat on a fatty meat, whole food diet.
You're right. Carnivore is an elimination diet to rid your body of problem foods. So, if you are carnivore and add back in foods you like (not processed junk, of course), you can see how your body handles it. Sadly, people think carnivore is heavily studied and researched. Its not. It's pseudoscience. There's more research on keto/ low carb diets than carnivore/lion diet. If you feel good stay on it, if you don't try something else. It's your body. Listen to it. Good luck
I get really tired after a big carnivore meal. Example, for me, 4 eggs and 1 steak. Is it due to not digesting it that well? Been doing this only 5 weeks. Helpful to take betaine hydrochloride to increase stomach acid? Will I adapt over time? I can’t really eat more than that in one sitting.
Let me ask you all a serious question. Does being around cows, pigs, chicken, squirrels, kale, broccoli, onions, cornfields , wheat fields, chemical factorys, or grain mills make your mouth water? Do they smell good enough to eat? Do they look tantalizing to all the senses? What are we naturally attracted to in nature? Think people think….
Ya I guess that was a little off putting. I mean what in nature makes your mouth water? Besides sexy lady or dude. Think tropics…. Which is where I believe all of us belong. It’s our home
@@christopherlee4796 wrong. Our distant ancestors evolved on the savanna. Our most recent ancestors migrated away from Africa to inhabit most of the planet, save Antarctica
10weeks on carnivore and i cant get the Aha moment yet.. my mission wasn't to lose weight but lost anyway..not excited.... the energy levels that i hear everybody gets in only days is only a dream to me.. i went on carnivore to cure my chronic chest pains and i still have them.... because of how am feeling, I just cant wait to stop this diet and gain back my energy.. i think i have accepted that it only works for some people... but i have 3 months target to hit... if i dont feel better after this, im throwing in the towel... i do a cup of coffee per day though not consistently because of this weaknesse.. i also do sour milk sometimes.... all these additions are there to supplement this expensive diet..... i really wanted to do this long term but with this weakness, i want to go low carb and see how i feel... if my Chest pains dont heal, thats a signal that, this isnt working..... electrolytes are nowhere to be found in my country so i use himalayan salt.. Any ideas??? Otherwise this is depressing me.. I noticed meat makes me sleepy immediately after eating. Quiet weird... my energy really tanks... and my digestion is always babbling with gases... ok im confused.
Finding different meats is challenging since you cant eat anything else, i tried a.. no pun meant.. Lambburger the other day, or if its a male a Ramburger? Either way they can stay in the pasture, not near as good as beef. Ill stick with good ol hamburger.

I went cold turkey to Carnivore. Overnight cut out carbs and alcohol 9 months ago. Slowly was not an option for me.
I started cold turkey Oct. 9, 2023. Feel a lot better now.
Dec 19 23 cold turkey here, not literally though.
We went cold a year ago.
What do people drink on carnivore diet? I have steaks tons of chicken breast eggs some cheese and have been on this a month
I drink coffee and a few tablespoons of milk.. i know that’s cheating probably as Dr Chaffee refers to coffee as plant based
Water gets old 😮
I started carnivore in hospital got my A1C down out of diabetic range so I know it’s working ✔️
What have you learned in 9 months? Like...if it was easy, everyone would do it. I'm right behind you. And never turning back
As a Doc in the U.S.A. with 2 Masters & PhD in the field / Gym owner too... I see almost everything you have talked about in all your videos. You are so far 100% correct, keep up the great work and I will do the same here!!!

JUST SAYING
I have had excellent results by employing intermittent fasting & OMAD. The key for me is not to pass the 24-hour mark with my fasts. When I eat I make sure I eat very well. I only do OMAD 2 or 3 days per week, apart from this I'm eating twice per day but I am doing a fast every day a min of 17 hours. Another major part of the equation is making sure I have enough fat in my meals. This is vital as Dr Chaffee covers all the time. If you are not consuming enough fat the body may not release the stored fat. I'm now 11 days away from being a Carniovore for a whole year. My results have been nothing short of spectacular. A big shout out to Dr Chaffee as usual. :)
Yes, fasting does help. Especially for those of us who have an insulin resistance belly!
Fasting on carnivore is pointless.
Dope dude
@@KmusikOne How so? Thank you.
@@EEEBA1 Dr. Chaffee just explained it.
Friday, I told a guy at work about Carnivore..and what it has done for me. He said "yeah my fat brother did that"... "I couldn't do that, you're hungry all the time"
I told him I eat when I'm hungry... down 110 pounds
Amazing how some people don't recognise the difference between hunger and going through withdrawal from sugar addiction.
Yeah “hungry all the time” until the carb withdrawals go away, just like kicking opiates
Some people just like to make excuses, lame as they are.
Hungry all the time?? Maybe at the beginning, as you are coming off carb addiction but after a short time you aren't feeling that way anymore and have to really remember eating to ensure you are getting the appropriate nutrition. Being on any "other" way of eating makes you hungry all of the time and constantly thinking about food and that next meal. People that take Ozempic are taking a drug which causes your body to think it's full (artificially) and also makes you want to do "nothing", while ketovore/carnivore gives you nutrition/constant energy and a constant calm and mindset of enjoying life.
Having to give up alcohol stops a lot of people from going keto or carnivore, if the truth was told!
So awesome to see all these people starting/maintaining Carnivore eating. It does work. I’ve been Carnivore for 52 years. It’s done me very well. Not sure i want to live forever, but it has kept me healthy, lean, excellent energy, and slow the aging process down - considerably. I’m 69 and have no plans of slowing down, now. My social security won’t allow me! I have to supplement it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
All because you are so healthy
@@天然-i1syour comment makes no sense
I do mostly carnivore but eat cheese, some nuts, small amounts of non starchy low carb vegetables and herbs to season meats. Pure meat diet is very expensive so have to add stuff like cheese and eggs.
@@GuitarsAndSynths ground beef and eggs are not expensive and can be eaten for the rest of your life while thriving. Also all the foods you cut out, and you end up eating less. It is not expensive at all, its much less, and you also never have to go to the Drs unless you break a bone.
You can eat lion diet carnivore on $5 a day. Not expensive at all.
I can’t even begin to explain how much I love listening to Dr. Chaffe and the success stories of his guests. It has helped me stay the course and led to incredible improvements in my health.
Started June 2023, as of June 2024.
Normalized blood markers
Arthritis pain in hands - GONE
Sciatic pain - GONE
Knee pain - GONE
Sleeping like a rock all night long
Down roughly 50 pounds
Went from not being able to do 1 pushups to pumping out 40 at a time.
No more painful BMs
Crazy amounts of energy with no after lunch crash (used to struggle driving home from work without feeling like I’d fall asleep behind the wheel, very scary)
So much more patient and friendly to friends and family.
Saved so much $$$ on food.
Excellent ❤
I did fast for about 60 hours when I got some flu/cold last winter. It helped me to recover faster
All animals fast when temps go up and eat with colds. We should return to that instinct. Indigenous separate from the village and go to separate huts when toxic to heal and not spread.
@@batchelerjr they do same when are dying. Separating out of village. Going out of village... but hey, we are civilized a little bit more now ❤😂🎉
I fasted instinctively when I got covid last year. That was the only time I've been sick in the last 6 years. I haven't even gotten a cold in that time.
I've been eating only grass fed ground beef and ground lamb patties (I pad them together into one large patty) cooked to med rare on grill with blue cheese crumbles on top and I have not gotten bored at all. I look forward to my dinner! (eggs and bacon for brekkie)
Try tallow instead of blue cheese. Modern herds are nuked to keep disease from spreading. I use gut bacteria enhancements also due to modern meat. My goal is wild or non treated domestic meat in a year. My body is fat adapted. However, it's going to be at least 6 months before I'm strong enough to live on meat, salt and water only. It just takes time for the body to even be able to return back. But it will. And then you will realize the level of deception. It won't scare you, but it may piss you off for being treated in such a manner by our rulers.
I did "lower" carb for a month, then keto the next and now I'm slowly transitioning to carnivore by finishing all the veggies in my freezer. I plan to alternate between carnivore and keto depending on life and circumstances. I also have been doing OMAD for 3 months. My PCOS symptoms are slowly getting better and I managed go regulate my naturally cycle for the first time ever.
Three weeks in, fifteen pounds down, feeling amazing! Energy and mood improved within days as well as decreased swelling in hands, feet and face.
It's sweet of you to be involved in your dad's health so closely!
Carnivore now six months. I am 71 and I probably need to cut out all dairy weight loss has slowed down. Sad face. Learning a lot from you and Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Bright. Feeling much better , but really I still learning as I go. Trying weights and exercise more.
No dairy must of cleaned up the weight stall. I love it but can’t tolerate😊
I recommend everyone to find the book titled Unlocking Carnivore Potential ; it goes deep into all of this, and it changed my life
find that book yesterday on your channel and buy it
Be warned. This book is very new from unkniwn author... Unpredictable quality of content...

Hey! 😊 I can’t find that book. Is it exact name of it? Because Amazon doesn’t have it for sure. Where did you buy it? Are you in US, AU, EU?
I would like to see a discussion between You and Jason Fung regarding fasting. I think it would be interesting to hear
You kidding 😮 they both have such calm voices we would all fall asleep in 2 minutes 😮😮😮😂😂😂❤
@@user-tm2vc6fj8qonly a problem for non carnivores that can’t concentrate properly 😉
Yes, their voices are soothing... I always seem more relaxed after listening 😂
I started carnivore diet at the beginning of December 2023 and after 6 months of ups and downs and falling off the wagon a few times it’s been an interesting journey of self discovery, self discipline, and ultimately self empowerment. In the end it came down to the power of high fat. Once I started making sure I was getting loads of fat (I started eating big chunks of butter as well as fatty meat), it was a game changer. The difference that made to my overall well-being was very noticeable, and my skin cleared right up. And the bonus was that my excess body fat melted away so quickly. I feel amazing! 🤩
Congrats on your success! How much fat are we supposed to eat? I've been on carnivore for well over a year with some weight loss but in the last 8 months I couldn't lose a single ounce. And when eating ground beef is 80/20 fatty enough? I don't understand how everyone loses that much weight and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.
@@EEEBA1the general rule of thumb is 70/30 fat to protein. That’s why so many of them like ribeyes, because it’s the exact macros. Maybe switch up your ground beef to a bit leaner percentage-and if you’re eating leaner meats like chicken breast, throw some butter on it.
Same here. I just got my head right and stopped trying to keto my way through it and just committed. It’s streaming off me faster and I’m feeling better daily. 👏🏻
I had to ease off sugar free sweeteners and I am weaning off dairy.
@@greyladydamiana You said switch up my ground beef to a bit leaner percentage? I thought I am trying to increase my fats and not decrease them? Now I am little confused. Thank you.
@@EEEBA1 fattier, not leaner. I said that exactly backwards 🤦♀️. A 73/27 is almost spot on for macros.

I was wondering how you did that recap! 🤔👍
On Carnivore I lost around 25 lbs in a year on really strict Carnivore. I thought I would lose more but my health benefits are unquestionably excellent with no joint pain, plantar fasciitis gone, unexpected healing my sun spots/ fungus gone . More calm more time not preparing food also I never feel starving like when I was on the SAD diet. I started working out and was able to push my muscles to the maximum but a different type than when my muscles were filled with glucose fully recovered after work out in 4 days usually that would be months or an injury.
Ive been carnivor for almost 5 months now, had a coupla cheats whilst on holiday(pasta/rice) felt fine with the rice but the pasta blew me up like a bloon n felt like a boulder the next day lol! I find i need to eat dairy or i lose too much weight, ive mostly done omad n not felt hungry at all but i do feel alot healthier on this diet than all the junk i was eating! still feels like my body is still healing from 54yrs of junk/poisonous foods! Good luck to anyone trying this out, hope u get same or better results.
My issue on carnivore is I can eat only about 5-6 oz of meat and then I'm full for 24-48h. The thought of eating more makes my stomach turn. I do have a lot of weight to lose, so maybe that's why. But seeing people take down a 16oz steak, with eggs and bacon blows my mind. I can't eat more than 3 eggs at once (and that's eggs alone, not with other things) or I feel like I'm going to die. I get so full I actually feel physically ill.
That sounds like the reverse of an issue to me, if you have a lot of weight to lose as you say. People take ozempic to get into that state, and you have it without harmful medication. Stop worrying and run with it.
That's about how much I eat. I eat once a day.
If you are just starting this can be from low bile reserves. Bile digests fat and gets recycled, so it builds up over time. In the meantime try easier to digest meats, but still get plenty of fat where you can. Definitely try lamb, it's fatty (especially the rack) and very digestible. Try adding in (not just outright replacing) non apex predator fish like salmon and shellfish. These are very lean (usually) so I would try to add in butter.
Different people, different dietary optimums,…. respect your uniqueness.
That's me too, I can't eat much at all, I make sure I have fat, but I don't know how people can eat so much meat or so many eggs in a day, makes me ill at the thought of it! I'm eating like a bird, but I have no cravings at all and I do intermittent fasting.
Amazing discussions, Dr.. You brought good news to the world ❤❤❤❤❤
I love your calm demeanor. Excellent information
I've gone from being strict carnivore to lion diet. Since going lion I have noticed I enjoy my meat more rare to rare medium, especially mince meat. I find it easier to digest
I fast involuntarily; since starting carnivore I only eat once a day - it progressed to that from 2 meals a day. The rhing is, I am NOT even hungry when I do eat that one meal yet I devour a 20 oz steak quite quickly.
I was homeless and impoverished for 12 years... when the money ran out .... that was my signal to fast... when the money came in... fast ended... 🎉... HE protected me. HE PROVIDED .... he wanted me to experience this to understand how bad poverty really is. ❤
Praise God
Thank you Dr. Chaffee 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 this was very helpful for me 😊
@Ellie the first 3 days of fasting the metabolism slightly accelerates because your body expects you to hunt. As long as you're overweight, basically your metabolism does not change at all from fasting. There have been documented cases e.g. one dude fasted for 300+ days and kept losing the usual 300g fat per day, which means his metabolism didn't slow down at all because he was severly overweight.
Your metabolism slows when you a) fast when you do not have adequate amounts of bodyfat anymore (starving) or b) if you do regularly eat below your caloric needs.
Also if you sleep a lot and don't move, your metabolism slows, so some light exercise for 1-2 hours per day does prevent that.
Fasting is a good idea because beyond weight-loss it works preventive to things like alzheimer and parkinsons by accelerating autophagy in the body (cellular repairs). It is recommended to do 1-2 longer fasts per year (5-7 days), that should be enough. If you want to lose weight, you can do more. Also fasting is excellent in preventing and reversing diabetes type 2. Things like intermittent fasting, OMAD etc help a lot!
67 yr male BMI 31 185lbs 5'8" Little exercise One site says 160 grams Protein daily. Maybe 100 grams.Can't eat that in 2 meals.
1 gram protein pr lb of desired body weight so I easily manage 95 grams in ONE meal - minced beef, lamb both really high protein.
People don't know at all how much protein you need. Chaffee says 0.7 gr per kg. Just eat what you can. Personally (65 kg) I can only eat 500 grams meat and fat pd but that means 150 grams protein
@@pamdowns1302
Best I do is 55 grams protein. Maybe my stomach wrap affects it.
I am in the camp that says carnivore is not a weight loss diet. At some point on a carnivore journey, your body weight will stabilize and will vary one way or another a few pounds. Then, you can vary your weight by eating less or more. Some people do this, like Shawn Baker, depending on where they want to be. Many people say they can not stabilize their weight on the carnivore diet. One reason is they are not eating enough fat and meat. It takes some folks a lot of time to adjust. A few years is not unreasonably long for this to occur. After all, many of us have screwed our bodies over for decades. While many issues are reversed fairly quickly, for some, that is just not the case. Carnivore is not a quick fix diet, it is a journey.
@@JimWooddell
Very common sense advice! Thank you! It's confusing because you can have so many opinions. I see some people who can eat a lot in one meal and I'm like no way. But I agree with you that carnivore isn't a story but more a life style change!
I'm currently eating OMAD on Carnivore even though I reached my goal weight because I have loose, saggy, flabby skin to lose. I want to take advantage of autophagy to do that. I am also doing HIT strength training at home to strengthen and build my muscles. I realize that it is hard to build muscle on OMAD but I have noticed some strength and size increases. I'm concerned that if I start eating more than one meal a day I will lose the autophagy benefits.
I'm in the same boat.
If your carnivore autophagy isn’t an issue it still kicks in Anthony has done a video on this before. It’s hard to take in but you can 100% eat your excess loose skin away and the high fat carnivore with all the collagen it really helps
24 hour dry fast is very good for autophagy. 24 hours no food no water. I have done 36 hours no problem. Dr Filinov, a Russian doctor wrote a book called Dry Medical Fasting available to read free online. Does wonders. No longer than a few days unsupervised.
Eat 2 meals a day for building muscle and then do 1-2 days a week either full fast or omad, get the best of both worlds.
@@Graham-b4r Thank you. I will watch that video.

I eat two times a day in a 4-hours window (20-4) after my workout, and I consume in total 35-40 oz of beef and 6 whole eggs. Shouldn't the beef be fat enough, I just integrate with ghee.
Back in the day.
Day being 800,000 years ago for example we ate as much of the grass-fed four legged animal as we could before it turned rancid or a bigger predator stole our kill then we didn't eat again until we caught another grass-fed four legged animal.
That's how much we ate on the carnivore diet.

Me too
I never thought sugar would be my last and hardest addiction to guit
I’m now being educated to the fact that sugar is more addictive than cocaine. And unfortunately we are pushing sugar on our kids from birth. So sad. I too am a sugar addict. Good Luck!!
My hormones have been wacky since last pregnancy and nursing for 2 years. My appetite has been very low overall I’m pretty sure I’m rarely eating enough ever lately ( I started carnivore in Jan. I initially lost 15 lbs but have been fluctuating between the same 5 lbs for over 3 months now..)I still have about 25 to lose. idk what to do other than force myself to eat but it feels wrong haha
I would also like to know what @Dr Chaffee says about this too. I’ve struggled in a very similar way. Years after kids. Same problem. I am going to watch his video on hormones. Maybe that has insights.
Don’t loose heart. That’s my problem after trying everything!!!! Blessings. 🥰🙏🏼💕
Cook everything in pure grass fed cow butter ❤
Lion diet? Dairy or any coffee? A reset for 5-6 months should shed some light on your issue or at least eliminate other possibilities you’re now having

Good to see you Anthony ❤
Hello All. Started carnivore 6 weeks ago. No weightloss. Eat OMAD a few days a week and 2 times other days. Diabetic blood sugar avg. 235. Not coming down. I do eat some cheese and cream in coffee. The rest only meat and eggs. Confused?
Coffee is a bean.. Don't understand how people think that's carnivore.
Yeah, I stalled from all dairy...even goat. I am lion diet now and it's melting. I have eggs in the fridge for a treat eventually...they are farm fresh duck eggs so they'll last after I do the lion for a month. I slept so hard last night I had sweat will a fan on me directly at full steam! Drop the dairy and any sweetener (artificial or natural) if you use them. Even aged hard cheese slowed me down ( in more ways than one) hope this helps💗💗
Also, keep chilled fats in the freezer and snack on them. Look up steak and butter gal and ketogenic woman. High protein low fat acts just like cards to a diabetic due to gluconeogenesis. Lower the protein, up the fat...but be careful. Don't go extreme or you find disaster pants! I grill a couple pounds of cheapy high fat burger patties at a time, store them in the fridge and grab 3-4 for lunch. Easy peasy. Same for dinner. Cravings are non existent. I eat to keep on trucking and enjoy my day. What a difference.
I eat when I'm hungry... Apart from coffee in the morning, I feel hungry at night, once a day...
21:30 I'd be careful with rare ground beef, unless you grind it yourself, or get it from a very good source
I just eat when I’m hungry. Which varies day to day. Yesterday I had three big meals of meat and eggs. Today just one steak
I am beyond frustrated and ready to give up. I have gained two lbs since starting Carnivore 7 weeks ago! I am very strict. The only thing I do that is off a little is have about 1/2 cup of dairy throughout the day. I even cut that out for two weeks and I didn’t lose a lb! I drink lots of water, definitely eating enough calories. I even tried to increase my fat intake but nada. I am 58, I feel great so I do t want to stop. All joint pain and depression is gone but I need to lose at least 40lbs because I am teetering with type 2 diabetes. Can anyone suggest anything?
Dr. Ken Berry says do not worry about weight loss until 3 to 6 months on the carnivore diet. You have a lot of healing to do. Don't stop!
Haven't lost any weight for the 3+ years I've been strict carnivore. Initially gained 12 pounds in the first 3 months. Stopped adding fat to fatty meats and went back to original weight. This is where I've stayed. Unfortunately, the doctor says I'm still morbidly obese. This is pseudoscience fyi. There's more research on keto/ low carb than carnivore/lion diet. I'm still going to stay carnivore, but I stopped expecting weight-loss like all these youtubers claim cause it doesn't work like that for everyone.
@@JR-eg5xl That's depressing?!!! I think after 3 1/2 years I'd do something different!
@@concettaworkman5895 Thank you for this. I just saw your reply. I’m staying with it. My sugars were 120 yesterday and 130 today! That is the lowest it’s been in 5 years, even when I was on semiglutide last year!
@@paulc5389 Yes, I lift daily and I walk 30 minutes minimum. Usually double that on days when my calories are higher. Even though they say calories don’t matter as long as you’re stopping when full. But I’ve counted macros and it doesn’t matter what caloric intake I have. I am staying the same.
Thanks for these videos. You're definitely my go-to-first for all things carn.
You got a Q: from Staggs that is pretty close to my walk on this path. I'm 9 months on Lions, 5 months weight-plateaued. I eat primarily chuck roast. No good data on %fat there, but nutritionix says "58% fat calories". I eat until I can't fit any more and am still hungry/crave. 1-2 meals a day (usually one); 1.5 to 2.5 lbs a day. If I add more fat, bathroom-time is an absolute nightmare. After experiencing wicked foot cramps at night, I took Sally Norton's advice and supplement Calcium, Potassium & Magnesium Citrates, with Biotin, B1 & B6 (at her minimum doses), but only every other day (I REALLY want to believe that meat is all you need). And I drink about 3 quarts of water a day, and a sip of my wife's coffee once a week (to reminisce). To be completely honest, when my weight loss plateaued, my energy dropped off. I was feeling king-of-the-world there for 3 months, and now... blah. My brain fog came back. I use "Oxalate-dumping" as a scapegoat. It's hard though; knowing that all I need to do is have some au gratin potatoes and I'd be fine again (or even some other low-oxalate plant). It's even affecting my performance at work.
I'm sticking with it, but it's definitely NOT all rainbows and unicorns like I've heard from others around the 9-month mark.
Hello Siri can you Please make short video on how you age your beef with no salt thank you very much
I am 99.9% carnivore, ocassionally having fermented pickles, olives, sauerkraut or a rare avocado. I cannot drop weight unless I am also incorporating regular fasting of 2-3) 24-42 hr fasts each week. A 72 hr fast 2-4 times per year also helps. I eat pretty high fat still any weight drop has been dreadfully slow for me.
I am full carnivore since 4 months and I can't do more than one meal a day . I don't restrict calories I eat until it does not feel good . My next meal would be when i feel hungry .I feel amazing. Sometimes I don't feel hungry at all for 2 days. I let my body tells me what it needs.
I am recovering from severe Crohn’s on high fat carnivore (no dairy) medication free, up from 41 kg to 63kg in a year (height 168cm), have about 30-40%fat each meal (160-180g of meats) but feel constantly hungry 2-3 hours after each meal, meats and fat always taste good, trying to stick to 2 meals but still putting on weight and a layer of fat has built up around the abdomen. Any advice appreciated.
Suspect hormonal imbalance? Your body is definitely saying give me more of that after what we’ve been through! Workout routine? Suppose you could up fats but some blood labs can reveal something
My daughter (55 years), had a "sleve" gastric bypass, 10 years ago, & PCOS. She's wanting to either gain a little weight or altest not lose any!!! I want her healthy (I'm carnivore). Suggestions? ❤❤❤
I’ve heard that fasting and intermittent fasting is not good for women’s fertility. But I hear Dr Kiltz promoting it all the time. Can you talk about fasting and fertility?
Honestly I was on average eating only every few days however it would be 4 or 5 steaks or 3 lbs liver ect. 5 lbs hamburger...after the 3 to 4 week detox I lost all cravings for anything sweet or vegetables ect. I was actually forgetting what day I ate last
In the Minnesota Starvation Study calories were cut in half for the subjects. The average caloric intake for the average 5’6” & 143# American Male was 3,500. The US Army estimated GI Joe living outside in the winter needed 8-10,000 calories. So the 3,500 number of calories was NOT for an active person. It was an average.
So the subjects were fed 1,750 calories in the experiment. Ironically this is our current caloric recommendation. Seems odd for the USDA to recommend this.
@Staggs. I had same problem, added liver and got full.
The QnA is so helpful, shoutout to staggs, asking exactly my situation too, meat never tasting bad but getting too full.
Though I'm trying to increase fat, so I started eating more brisket this week.
Thanks again!
Thank you for all you do!!
Seems for me, it's been a evolvement. Coming up 07/10/24 I'm a year into carnivore and, all the changes that have accrued have been nothing short of remarkable...things that are not suppose to change, did.
Eating went from compulsive ( was Hyperglycemia) down to eating once a day.
I recognized, when compulsively eating, I'd feel not all that great. I took it as a signal from my body to stop the compulsive eating and knocked it down to 3 meals then it turned into 2 meals and now 1 meal and feel even "more" better then before.
I also seem best on beef and occasion pork chops some crustaceans and fish (homemade butter) .
I ruled out chicken for not having the fat content needed, even with frying the chicken in bacon fat. Yes I have eggs with the beef as well as bacon...after that I'm good to go till bed time.
I've notice too, "eating my big meal at 10/12 noon", I have plenty of time to digest the meal rather then eating that volume of meat at 4:30/5:30 pm and sleep very well and better then I' ever had..
Also took bout 9 mo's to become regular again. I recognized how much my body had to discard and went with that thinking for the duration... Am great, have pasted my medicals with flying colors ...rock on
I've learned so much watching your videos Dr. Chaffee I'm constantly learning something new!! Thank you so much for your time shared with us and knowledge. I've been on carnivore since 8/23 been doing OMAD and I've lost a good bit of weight and am no longer considered diabetic. I'm holding off to the year mark to get another cat scat just see if the diet has had any effect on my ESS (empty sella syndrome) very curious.
Can you please discuss what the people like myself that don't have a gallbladder should do about eating a high fat carnivore diet?
I use oxbile supplement, ordered from Amazon
So the increased heart beat while drinking caffeine on carnivore diet says consult doctor's could be underlying condition,what example can anyone give on that?
How much should I eat when eating like our ancestors? I eat when I am hungry, eat slowly, and stop when I start feeling full. No fluids an hour or so before, during, and an hour or so after eating. I have not eaten plants or plant derived products for four months. I have had numerous health benefits already, in line with other people having similar anecdotal experiences. I have done sports my entire life, and I presently do triathlons, including full ironmans. I have to eat twice a day. In the morning, I eat after a workout. Lately, I have been having ground beef, four eggs on top, and then a little cheese on the eggs. Cover and let low heat do its magic. And, I eat in the evening; I typically eat just a big steak. My body is still adjusting. My bike power at a given heart rate is up significantly. My endurance is better; no need to eat on a long ride. Moreover, my running pace at a given heart rate has improved significantly. Regarding day to day changes, I don't have energy lows anymore, my GI system is getting better and settling, cramping is resolving, and sleep pattern is generally better.
I've never understood how people eat without drinking water. Just thinking about it makes me thirsty.
What did you do about cramping? I am 3 months in, salt my food, and take electrolytes and magnesium, but I still get cramps at night & early morning.
8 months carnivore 188/6’2 down to 68kg/150 trying to put on weight but can’t. I work out everyday and eating bacon and eggs and red meat mostly, steak and ground. I’m trying to eat more but still tend to be feeling hungry regularly. Im guessing more fat?
How about reducing your workout to every other day, you will gain weight back
Great job on your guess!!!
It's not a good idea to workout every single day. Dorian Yates (7x Mr Olympia) and the late Mike Mentzer (former Mr Universe and 1979 Mr Olympia heavyweight division) followed a workout every 72 hours. They both did HIT (High Intensity Training) to temporary muscle failure. That kind of stress on the body requires plenty of recovery time.
If your workouts are intense and you tend to feel hungry regularly, the fat increase is a great idea.
I believe you may need an extra meal or keep fat "snacks" handy.
Butter bites (See: Ketogenic Woman recipes)
Pork belly chunks cooked in air fryer,
Chilled to nearly frozen Kerrygold
Butter slices to pop in your mouth.
I hope we can help!
Must have missed didn't wake up real early this morning but i will catch this now!
I came across "Goodbye Lupus by Brooke Goldner, M.D." and she apparently treats auto-immune patients with plant-based protocol. I have been carnivore for 3 months but things like this are so confusing others.
Hers is quite calorie restricted and I found I was always hungry. I’d been whole food plant based for 18 years and anxiety worsened each year along with joint pain. I’m not sure the amount flax seeds she recommended was a little excessive according Dr Furhman. I switched to paleo style 2/24 and anxiety was gone within 36 hours and finally felt satiated; I truly was missing the amino acids distribution found only in meats. I slowly have decreased and cut out nuts, seeds, fruits,and have been strict carnivore for 3 days and my hip joints are so much better already than they’ve been in about 6 months. I’m giving this a chance. My sleep and cycles have been so much better since about 2 months into paleo and keep getting better with less plants. I’m almost 50. Hope this is helpful. So much confusion to which is best.
A 48 hr Fast, 72 hr, the Autophagy really cleans out the cobwebs and feels great 😊 then jump back into the fatty meats and eggs and butter, fatty fish, you’ve got the method firmly in hand.
In that study a starvation diet was 1500 calories! Most people are shocked by that. It was typical for women in that era to eat 2500 calories a day and they were not overweight. Men typically ate 3000 calories or more a day.
18:00 - could this be the lack of salt?
On keto , a good breakfast with eggs and bacon is usually enough until dinner time. Then a large steak meal fills me up to next day. If I get hungry mid day, a piece of cheese works.
I had unexpected, significant sleep improvement from going Ketovore. Breathing is so much more open, that sometimes I just lean back to enjoy it!
That sounds lovely! Thank you for sharing. Very inspiring 😊
I have asked you on multiple platforms to make a video about nitric oxide production on the carnivore diet. Hoping to hear your thoughts about it soon:)
@jts842. There are several youtube doctors that talk about the production of NO. The breathing exercise is amazing. Do a search for it. Basically it is heavy deep inhales through the nose and exhale through the mouth for about 2 1/2 minutes. You might get dizzy at first and will have to reduce the time you do it. It works. Amazing. And, red meat is a rich source of arginine, an amino acid that can be converted into nitric oxide. A lot of vegan types try to use NO as an argument against eating meat....and once again, they are wrong.
What if you can’t stand the taste of solid fats? I love things like butter and avocados,cheese etc. but I’ve never been able to eat any solid fats. Chicken skin/solid beef fat just gets tossed off my plate. Even if I mistake some fat for meat… once it’s in my mouth I have to spit it out or I’ll heave.
What do I do to get more fat?
18:20 Maybe they meant electrolytes instead of caffeine. That's what I'm trying.
I appreciate Dr. Chaffee's knowledge when it comes to carnivore but the benefits of fasting intermittent and especially long term is undeniable.
J'ai commencé mais 1 repas (le soir) sur 3 avec aussi du fromage (200 gr de viande et 100 gr de fromage), celui où je craque le plus dans les sucres. Le résultat, c'est que le matin, il me réclame un peu plus de sucre que d'habitude mais ce sera toujours beaucoup moins que ce que j'aurais mangé le soir.
Je n'ai pas l'argent pour le faire tous les repas mais, je me dis que c'est un début.
Hi how much you need to eat if 230lb
As much as it still tastes good, given it's carnivore.
Fasting didnt work for me because I get extremely nausciated even though i am not hungry. I have a half cup of greek yogurt to combat that and still finally eat some meat for dinner especially since when I could fast was causing me multiple infections and low white blood cells.
I have done fasting and nausea is often because your body is detoxing. 😊 By stopping the fast you're stopping the detox.😂
Doc, would you say that if you have gut issues and do carnivore , then fasting is not necessary ?
I think they letting the body control is the best solution IF your metabolism is in balance and fat adapted .
Im nearly one month on this diet. Psoriasis still the same, 80% of the body covered and It still itching. Stomach still bloated. I will continue. But im losing hope.
It will change! Please stick to it for at least 3 months. Give yourself a real shot. I'm sorry you're experiencing this and proud that you are seeking out the best known answer for managing it.
I do omad now. I feel like I don’t need to eat
Interestingly, cravings for milk and alcohol simply ceased after a month on Ketovore.
Is it ok to eat pork belly and pulled pork , with no sauces
If its fatty meat its carnivore 😊
One thing I really haven't seen addressed by people that advocate for ketogenic, ketovore, or carnivore diets is the amount of total protein one should be eating. Most of the people that are coming to this way of eating seem to be coming from obesity, extreme obesity, and other health related issues. I don't currently suffer from anything like that, though I did want to lose weight and get my body fat down to about 15%. However, I also want to continue to build muscle. Do you adhere to the premise that you need a gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight? That seems to be the norm from most trainers and fitness coaches.
>> Most of the people that are coming to this way of eating seem to be coming from obesity, extreme obesity, and other health related issues.
That's a solid "nope". The weight loss thing gets the most attention, and that's pretty irritating, at least to me.
>> you need a gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight?
Back when I was doing plain old keto with lots of green veggies, I found that to get into ketosis I had to reduce my protein intake to somewhat near that level. I never measured it that carefully, but after I noticed I was eating far too much protein, I restricted it to a lump of meat about the size of my palm, and I removed the much of the whites from any eggs I was eating.
I went full carnivore about a year ago, and I no longer restrict my protein intake. I eat once a day, and I normally have a ribeye steak and 3 or 4 egg yolks. Plus, at least half a stick of butter. I had to increase my butter intake to get everything to click.
I am an athlete.
Don't listen to "most trainers and fitness coaches." Find out what works for you by actually doing it. Try switching to carnivore for 30 or 90 days and see what happens. I tried the 30-day BBB&E challenge a year ago, and simply never stopped.
@@andyc7747 that’s basically the same measurement of protein. A 220 lb eating a gram of protein per pound of body weight would be eating 220 grams. That same 220 lb person (100 kg) eating 2.2 grams per kilogram would be eating 220 grams.
@@y00t00b3r Well said. Mainstream don't know shit about the proper human diet. I have a ton of reliable carnivore nutrition sources at my disposal and I will never pay any attention to the ignorant people that claim they have all the answers. Whatever they say, I just do the opposite.
My only plants left are cannabis, coffee, heavy whipping creme and half and half. Not into cheese and eggs or pork anymore. Sorry. 4 lbs of crispy airfried bacon per month. Gotta have crunchy
but heavy whipping cream and half and half are animal products, not plant food.

Please, Allow me to ask a couple of question about the Carnivore diet .(Sorry if i already posted before but i dont know what to do) :
I am now over 180 days into a Strick Carnivore diet (I only eat meat and eggs. Nothing else but 500-600g of COCKED meat plus 7-8 eggs in a day. All Divided in 2 meals) I am now 35 years old, 181cms tall, 180lbs(+-81,5kg) at +-22%BF. I go to the gym 2-3 times a week.(lift weigths to help sustain or increase muscle mass and assist fat loss- HIT Workouts)
I started the Carnivore diet to improve my body composition. I was a HEALHTY guy with NO chronic illnesses or health problems.
I lost about 17 lbs(8kg) in the first 9 weeks (Mostly water) but since then I haven't been able to change my body composition. I have now gone more than 8 weeks without registering any body changes (weight loss, decrease in BF% or measurements like waist, legs, arms and neck ).In fact i have gained 2,5 lbs(1KG between weeks 10-12, but it might be just water.
I still need to lose at least another 15lbs of fat to reach my goal of being below 15%BF. However, I don't see how the Carnivora Diet will facilitate this process. I have not experienced most of the benefits common to Carnivores (Improved sleep, more energy/disposition, etc.) nor have I changed my body composition significantly
I am now over 12 weeks with no body fat lost.
So I would like to ask a few question about the Carnivore diet:
1- How long should I extend my experience with the Carnivore diet to be able to lose the excess bodyfat I still have?(at least 15lbs of fat)
2- What is the minimum time you should maintain a Carnivora diet when it is not working for you?(how many weeks or months)
3-Is the Carnivore diet effective for those who are aldreay healthy and just need to improve body composition?
I am affraid this way of eating is too restrictive, for a healthy person, with no aditional benefit from any other whole food diet.
PS: Most of my time as a Carnivore i have not experience most Carnivore benefits or lost any body fat.
Also, Sorry for any grammar mistake, i am Brazilian and english is not my first language.
Thank you for your attention!.
I did a fat fast for 5 days. That kicked my system into high gear. 85% fat, 1200 calories a day.
Whatever you choose, wishing you the best 💖
Well, the carnivore diet is the Proper Human Diet according to Dr Berry and Dr Chaffee and thousands of others following it. What other way of eating would you choose? Stick with it and make sure you are not consuming any hidden carbs or packaged products or dairy (especially cheese). Make sure you are eating enough for your metabolism. 21 ounces or beef daily might not be enough for you at your young age. Believe it or not, undereating will stop your progress. It is very hard to overeat on a fatty meat, whole food diet.
Sometimes, you are gaining through muscle mass as you lose fat. So you might be losing fat slowly but it hasn't become a visua fatl loss yet.
What you mean with high gear?@@joannefc8325
You're right. Carnivore is an elimination diet to rid your body of problem foods. So, if you are carnivore and add back in foods you like (not processed junk, of course), you can see how your body handles it. Sadly, people think carnivore is heavily studied and researched. Its not. It's pseudoscience. There's more research on keto/ low carb diets than carnivore/lion diet. If you feel good stay on it, if you don't try something else. It's your body. Listen to it. Good luck
I get really tired after a big carnivore meal. Example, for me, 4 eggs and 1 steak. Is it due to not digesting it that well? Been doing this only 5 weeks. Helpful to take betaine hydrochloride to increase stomach acid? Will I adapt over time? I can’t really eat more than that in one sitting.
Why do you want to eat it in one sitting?
Do you eat eggs? Bacon?
I am filling my freezer with farm raised lamb and beef to begin this journey. Maybe it will help.
Let me ask you all a serious question. Does being around cows, pigs, chicken, squirrels, kale, broccoli, onions, cornfields
, wheat fields, chemical factorys, or grain mills make your mouth water? Do they smell good enough to eat? Do they look tantalizing to all the senses?

Any ideas??? Otherwise this is depressing me..
I noticed meat makes me sleepy immediately after eating. Quiet weird... my energy really tanks... and my digestion is always babbling with gases... ok im confused.
Finding different meats is challenging since you cant eat anything else, i tried a.. no pun meant.. Lambburger the other day, or if its a male a Ramburger?
Either way they can stay in the pasture, not near as good as beef. Ill stick with good ol hamburger.
