Started keto/carnivore about 18 months ago due to cancer diagnosis stage 1B ovarian cancer. Had ovaries removed but declined 6mos of chemotherapy. I’ve lost 30lbs, my body composition has drastically changed to lean muscle and strength! Cancer has not come back! I eat red meat daily and lots of eggs, I still like salad with extra blue cheese! Doctor said cancer would return and it has not! I’m 67 and I look ten years younger! Hopefully, I stay this way!
way to go! doctor was wrong for sure.
Drug reps don't know crap. I'm not surprised the cancer has not come back since you eliminated its food supply. You are amazing! I'm in my 18th month too & never felt better! 😊
Bless you both 🙏🙏
Best wishes for your staying cancer free. You are on right path with carnivore.
You are doing the best thing you can for staying healthy.
I wish my loved one chose to do what you have (I begged him) done when he got colon cancer which has went everywhere now...
I truly believe only our proper human diet can improve and maintain the best possible health.
Thank goodness for doctors like Dr. Baker, Dr. Berry and Dr. Chaffee -and so many others are speaking up!
I'm 60 yrs old. I dropped 53#. I am 5'11" and I started at 208#'s and am currently at 157#. I feel amazing and started sprinting, swimming open water every morning and sailing. I have the energy of a 20 year old. I save money on groceries because I don't have rotting vegetables in my refrigerator anymore. I eat one meal a day with a small protein snack later in the day. I love not having to cook or use multiple pans to cook in. I use an air fryer. This morning I had fatty lamb chops for breakfast and some bacon. Dinner is sausages and eggs. Love my free time, not having to cook or clean the kitchen. Grocery shopping is a breeze --- only going to the meat department. Voila!
Great story. I am 68 and absolutely love lamb and eat one leg every week.
Amazing 👏...how do you keep protein intake when doing only OMAD?
@@igorgasperec, I noticed she said she eats OMAD, but had breakfast and dinner. So? I’m confused about that.
@@LaurenNHall77 I eat one large protein meal per day and some days, I'll have a protein snack in the evening (3 boiled eggs)
It's so LIBERATING isn't it?! I'm so grateful to God for guiding me toward this sacred path. I've never felt better! 😊
"To take someone who is sick and suffering.....and get them so they are no longer sick and suffering" is to me amazing, and I admire Dr. Baker for helping so many thousands of people get better and thrive! Thank you, Dr. Baker!

I got to meet Shawn Baker and shake his hand when he was in Austin! He was so nice!
I've been healing with carnivore for 8 months now, and lion diet for 5 months. Off all medications and managing lupus, maybe even going into remission!
Feeling stronger than I have in a long time!!
Hell yeah! That's awesome. And yet the normies call us crazy. Yeah we're crazy alright. Crazy healthy!
Awesome effort. Well done. 👍🙂
Wow, fantastic! You are taking your health back!!!
What's the difference between the carnivore diet and the lion diet, please ?
@@pierredavila6187 Lion diet is solely ruminant red meat e.g. lamb, beef, bison.
Listening to this after a sleepless night of pain in muscles and joints after making the horrible decision to eat mashed potatoes, zipper peas, and fried chicken yesterday at a get together. I’ve been pain free for 5 months on carnivore. I forgot how bad I use to hurt before carnivore. Lesson learned. Will be a long time before I make that mistake again.
Yes, our dear neglected bodies have been trying to tell us for years what to stay away from!
👏. Grafually reduce sugars & sweets , carbohydrates.😊
We’ve all done it. We all have to relearn the lesson every now and again. I did it with my aunt’s 90th birthday cake. :(. Hope you feel better soon.
In a way it is a good thing.
It helps to show you that you made the right decision.
Sometimes the changes are so gradual you don't remember how bad it was before. Now you know.
You are weak and pathetic if thats true.
Anybody who hasn't TRIED a total carnivore diet cannot possibly understand the TOTAL switch off for addictions to other foods that they currently think they cannot do without. The internal mental freedom, increase in energy, mental clarity, mental stability and a million different other things cannot be experienced by a half way house. Once you TRY IT and you break through to the peace in your body you will understand. While you are playing on the edge adding a bit of this and that you'll never totally understand what you're missing. At the point where peace and energy descend... There is NO sense of restriction, no loss, only FREEDOM and health in a way that no other person or writing could have prepared you for. Can you risk 30 days to find out..? Can you go for 90days?... Is that all can take to turn your tanker round?
"oh, you can't live like that forever.." they say... You know what, I'm not... I'm living ONE day at a time to the MAX... and one more and one more. The PEACE is soooo valuable, I dont know whether I ever want to give it up for how I felt before.
Sceptical??
Go on, I dare you, try it, properly, and find out for yourself, 30 or 90 days and write below what happens for you. 👌👍💪💪
Great insights.. Ima give it a go 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Great comment! And all truth! 🎉
Absolutely! I'm in my 18 th month of bliss! My anxiety eating mostly vegan got so bad I couldn't even drive for almost a decade. Thanks to carnivore I'm happily driving again! But that's only one of many issues that have greatly improved or completely vanished on carnivore. ❤
That’s exactly right! I’ve been keto then Ketovore for 6 years and overcame 36 symptoms and ailments but a couple of things kept lingering. Now I’m completely carnivore and healing everything!
tell me more about The Church of Carnitology.
This man right here is what family medicine is supposed to be.❤
I've ended up with 10 separate diseases from my 10 years deployed with the Army in 4 wars or conflicts. I'm working on it. Carnivore with zero alcohol, opiates, anti inflamitories, carbs and no smoking makes me feel like a different person. Makes me feel like i'm 30 again but I have a doom loop issue with PTSD AND DEPRESSION. But i'm still working on it guys.
Thank you (!!) for your service!! Hang in there, you can do it!! SO glad you are already finding some significant healing. I listened to interview the other day with a Dr Mark Cucuzella, who worked @ small VA hospital in W. Va. I think (I used to work @ a VA also here in Ohio) & his research & work with Vets on eating low carb/ carnivore diet - including improvements with ptsd & many diagnoses. I was impressed with his knowledge & statistics & results. Hang in there! I pray you have ongoing success & improvement!!
Mushies, my friend
Keep going ! God bless you 💕
@@notgunnadoit7461 Just make sure you stay away from weed as well. That stuff will sabotage any progress.
@@docacuwatson Can you say brain damage? Can you say chemical dependency? Can you say labotomy?
I was 265lbs about 2 years ago, I got down to 158lbs by eating low carb/only fish diet. I only ate 1200-1400 cals a day. I started carnivore because I was always hungry, I was working out so much but didn't get that BODY I was pushing for. I've been carnivore about 3 months now, I'm back up to 175-180 lbs but my body is much smaller and lean than it was at 158lbs. I know it might be hard to believe, I still lowkey cry every time I weigh myself but then I look in the mirror and immediately don't care anymore lol. My breasts have gotten bigger as well. In addition all my other issues: Period pain, headaches, anxiety, acne, cellulite, thinning hair, soreness, and fatigue has all decreased or completely gone away. I'm not sure where all the weight is going, I check my tummy in 2 different spots every week, and it stays the same or it goes down. My clothes are looser. I really wish it was easier/cheaper to get a dexa scan or MRI and find a doctor that would actually support me and show me what's going on. Regardless, Im so happy I stumbled upon this.
You're getting more muscle and less fat, hence the weight gain. We've been brainwashed into concentrating too much on weight. We should be concentrating on body composition.
@@ThanhNguyen-ds1kl I agree. I'm trying my best to adjust to it.
You can get that help you're requesting from Doctor Sean O' mara. You can.
Find him on UA-cam for $3500 You can do a mri and have consultations with him and go over everything.
Well done. You’re doing great.
Bone density goes up on carni. I think a lot of weight goes there. Also you built muscle while burning fat.
And muscle is heavier than fatvolume
As a WFPB vegan, I was expecting to hate this guy. I anticipated him to be mocking the 'soy boys' and railing against the toxins in legumes. What a pleasant surprise to find such a soft-spoken, open minded person. While I will never consume animal flesh, I respect Dr. Baker's obvious conviction in helping people to get healthy.
I was WFPB for 25 years. In 2015 my gut stopped being happy and then stoped working. For next 9 months got worse and worse. I lost weight, my hair, my skin got weird hue like yellowish/gray, I lost a lot of muscles, my skin was paper thin and dry. My nightmare was my sleepless nights because of pain and trips to the loo till 3-4 am. My doctor was clueless because my tests were perfect so she decided it’s cancer. My age was 65… . I got upset and declared I didn’t have cancer. Started to search and talk to people. In short, one day I bought lots of pork hogs and feet in my local butcher store, I got like 4 kg put in my oven for 6 or 8 h on low heat and it saved my life. I didn’t know about carnivore or eating raw ( almost) beef but I learned. Now I’m carnivore with occasional local fruit and sauerkraut. My life is great and my doctor’s office calls me but I don’t have any need to go and see her. I’m healthy and strong and in few days I will celebrate my 73 year of life! I walk between 5-8 km a day, half of it barefoot and/or with weights. Meat heals!
@@aleksandrazimpel8097 eating plants & animals is healthy? shocking!
@@aleksandrazimpel8097Happy belated 73 rd birthday. I am telling my 72 year old friend that we all have to go on the carnivore diet. It won't be too hard since we don't eat junk food too much.
I was in my twenties when Atkins came out and I remember thinking those people were nuts and they were going to kill themselves…as I smugly shopped for my organically grown veggies and fake fats and tons of whole grains and busting my a$$ in the gym at the crack of dawn, consequently destroying my adrenals.
I was such a jerk in my own mind, lol! I roll my eyes at myself now for being so close minded.
I’m a happy carnivore now and fixing all the damage I did eating that way. It’s been life changing, social awkwardness and all. I can literally feel my brain flood me with happy chemicals every time I savor bacon fat and beef fat, and meat of any kind. It’s crazy, the instant bio-feedback.
I hope my grandchildren learn sooner than I did.
on carnivore for 9 months now, I ate sushi the other day 1st time since going carnivore. all I wanted was my steak and eggs. when I eat that, I don't get hungry I could eat steak and eggs for breakfast on Monday morning and not hungry or eat until Tuesday night and no hunger issues. it goes against everything I was taught about neutron. 52 yo male
5 years carnivore for me more strict than ever but I love feeling like superman in my 60s and NOT feeling old or looking old :)
But clean keto or just clean eating is the main thing everyone needs to do and make meat the main part of your meals
This may be the best interview Shawn has done! 👍 👍 👍
Thanks for this wonderful interview. Dr. Baker always presents such a balanced and reasonable perspective.
This is THE best interview ever! I had no idea how Dr. Baker came to the all meat diet...but I would have loved, loved, loved to have him as my Dr.! Not only are today's Dr. just Rx writers, they get mad at me because my body does NOT respond well to most Rx but they only try Rx....when my mother was a young nurse, they did so many things to help people feel better, most worked better than Rx...then the stupid low fat thing came in a ruined women's health.
Dhru and shawn this is one of your best interviews and gives you time to explain and answer the questions appropriately and informatively
An amazing man... Not carnivore must sure thing about it! I love eggs and meat since I grew up on real foods with meat every single dinner.
I fully respect Dr.Baker🎉 ❤
Dr Mark Hyman MD told an interesting story about a lady who was 99 and ate 3 eggs everyday and her physician diagnosed her with sarcopenia and he recommended she should eat about a lb of beef per day to put on some mass. She stuck to his advice and made it to 117 years old!
Lying about medicine/health care should be classified legally as a capital crime.
@@jenniferbrown3782 There is avoidance of facts in the medical/drug establishment, to the point that it seems clear that basic dishonesty must exist there - nobody could be this f-ing stupid for these to be errors.
Great, thorough interview on the diet. Dr. Baker is 👍
started carnivore yesterday ate twice i dont even feel hungry yet today morning blood sugar best its been in 3 months lol. welp I do love steak and eggs and not craving food non stop also is nice. The plan is to stick to it. Have a weight loss doctor appointment in 3 weeks and plan to do this till then. I may even stay after since its working but can see what happens I suppose.
That's one of the things I love - no food noise constantly raging in my head since I started carnivore. I'm satiated and can breathe without plotting and planning what junk I'm gonna eat and constantly bowing down to the food monster
Hey there, it’s been a month, how is it going with your carnivore journey?
I bet your weight loss doctor wasn't happy. If you're sticking to carnivore he's lost a patient.
I started eating beef jerky exclusively for three weeks now and it honestly the best way to eat beef for me eggs had ham are a very nutritious combo too also the beef jerky is a great way to shape your jaw
Incredible information-filled interview.
My favorite interview of you, Doc. Well done!
I took vioxx for a couple of years and when they took it off the market I was more than angry. There was nothing better to relieve my pain.
I finally figured out that it was corn and corn products that was eating up my bones and joints. Stopped the corn, stopped the pain.
Thank you, Gentlemen, for this dialog, thoroughly enjoyed the content and the way you listened to each other and talked 🩵🙂
“That’s just what being old is like.” Boy what a load of crap that is. I’ve even been told that by my physician. It’s NOT true and I’ve proven it to myself with my ketovore/carnivore lifestyle.
I don't care if I lose weight, at all! Just get my digestive system to digest and assimilate food and give me normal and regular bowel movements. I've been diagnosed with
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFIDS), Fibromyalgia, Ankylosing Spondylitis, IBS, Hiatal Hernia, Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Type2 Diabetes, Depression, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure (after I had a total hysterectomy), arthritis, etc. If I listed symptoms it would take a hundred words, at least. At 76 I've been bedridden more than active and, still, my doctors have done exploratory surgeries, removed my gallbladder, treated my painful joints with meds...right...I won't bore you further with a list of meds I've taken over the years. The $$$ I've spent, my insurance has spent on tests and doctor visits to specialists, etc.
😮😢😢😢
I'll try this. Where do I get the best start/guidance??
Just keep watching videos like this! Eat meat only, salt to taste, and limit dairy if you are trying to lose weight (I cook with a little butter and sometimes do a little butter or goat cheese as a condiment with my meal). Ground beef, eggs, bacon, butter, chicken, steak, seafood, etc.. eat until comfortably stuffed!
DrKenBerry, is a great start and Laura Spath shows good variety in meats to prepare...love her chicken tenders and meat balls(freezer meals) . Google beef meals, Steak and Butter Gal has good ideas, too. So many more, good luck on your journey 😉
Great knowledge
This was great
All true - Happened to me.
Bart Kay says not to worry about apoB
I started on the AIP and moved into carnivore on 1 August. I lost about 20 pounds in six weeks of inflammation weight. I always had swollen eyes and body was always hurting so bad. Fibromyalgia went away. I can walk 2 1/2 miles now where I couldn't walk 100 feet, and it's pretty extraordinary. My goal is to heal the gut. I've been in fight and flight mode from food that was harming me. I no longer desire food. I have to kind of force myself to eat. Right now I'm eating beef, cheese, Indian curd made with raw milk boiled and butter. I don't ever want to go back, but it's very difficult in social situations. Anybody have any hints for me in this regard of what I can bring with me that I can eat?
Here's the interview I'm looking for....a carnivore who is extremely sick, takes a lot of medication and will not change their diet! 😮 ............
Keep looking. You will probably never find one.
@@doncastella2814 I know right, that's the point💪❤️🔥
@1:19:00 Tell them to hurry up and get on CNN and stop wasting everyone else's time eating Kellogg's for dinner. They have a lot to apologize and make up for. Now.
Aaarg the twin study! Were they monitored in a lab setting 24/7? NO. Is cholesterol bad? No. If you’re eating trash then of course you’re going to develop problems that are blamed on cholesterol which is affected by trash food. Might as well put putty in your cars oil and then blame the problem on the oil.
Please don't say 30 days, because this is life time journey.
It's phd
Dr. Baker says that humans are omnivores. he says that Carnivore isn't for everybody...
We didn't 'pick off the scraps', we attacked the zebra and the lion with spears and fire.
hominins began as fruit-eating Homo habilis, transitioned to scavenging meat, evolved into persistence hunting Homo erectus and later transitioned into Homos like heidelbergensis, neanderthals and sapiens who used "spears & fire."
What if you don’t like eggs? 😩
Can carnivore diet turn B12 deficiency around?
Yes, absolutely.
Yes , it fixed mine ❤
Yeah. Meat is where b12 is
@@Jay-h9d9h no, I know that. I just have a really hard time absorbing it. I have to take B12 injections.
@@TheMJT515just because there are different amino acids who impact the absorption of B12. First of all cut sugar and carbohydrates, plants also, at least 30 days. On carnivore you should be more than ok. Go to Dr's Anthony Chaffee channel for more details.

Looks like Shawn's finally aging after all these years!
☮️🥩🧈🥓🍳☮️
There weren't hominides. The God created the man.
Even Paul Saladino quit carnivore diet. He eats loads of carbs now from fruits and honey. Why you guys still have to stick to only meat? Just curious. I will be more than happy to become carnivore if that helps my body.
The obvious answer to me is to quit ultraprocessed foods and high carb food. But why you have to go all the way carnivore. It will be really hard to justify that every single veges and fruits are bad for health. Again, hope there are some really arguments, not just personal experiences.
@@lumanliu8457do what’s best for you. Some people need meat only to heal, others can thrive with meat and veggies/fruit. Very few can thrive without any animal protein at all over long time periods.
Test out how your body reacts and tweak from there.

He’s butcher, just eat food and eat enough. that’s last thing a real men worry about unless you have a healthy issues. Ridiculous
Utterly ridiculous that such a 'food' product would even be discussed in public. They should be embarrassed.
Our animal agriculture system is utterly broken. We are in a climate crisis and cannot begin to reverse course and continue this food pattern.
You’re drunk on the Koolaid
This is all BS cow farts are nowhere near as bad as the machines and burning of crops yearly throughout the world.
Most agree about feedlot practice but if you see all these huge spray vehicles spraying year after year figure that cost on ground water and health of people and animals birds bugs and microbiome of soil regenerative agriculture is by design going to reverse all detrimental effects of modern ag practices including sequestering high amounts of carbon from the atmosphere.so if you wish to beat a drum try Regen ag
I agree. We must stop all this plant based thinking. It’s killing sooo many animals and isn’t the best use of our space.
What climate crisis?

Just started the carnivore diet about a month ago. Then our blueberry bushes came to fruit, and now I'm "ketovore". Feel a lot better only eating meat and animal fat! Love Shawn Baker
🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations! I'm starting my 18th month on carnivore & have never felt better! On occasion I also enjoy blue berries in my yogurt and strawberries. I'm also going into my second month of no coffee and my lower back pain level went from a 9 to a 1!! Thank you Dr. Anthony Chaffee for consistently encouraging me to dump the coffee!
I had our blueberries come into fruit so i gave them to our neighbors. I'm older and have several autoimmune and joint pain issues i want m9re healing from. But I was bedridden now I'm living life again. We all need to do what works, I hope you have continued good health as this is all such helpful information.
@@latterrain09 maybe get some backyard chickens and let them convert the blueberries into nutritious eggs.
@@latterrain09awesome you blessings to you
Carnivore for life. I can confirm long-term only eating meat is perfectly safe I do it everyday. it's been almost 4 years I feel amazing at 60! It's hard to even type that I'm 60 I feel like I'm 20😂😂😂
Lol
I'm 77 and I had a CAC score of 305 in January 2023. I've also had angina episodes. I'm eating a meat heavy ketovore diet (mostly carnivore but may include a couple vegetables a week). My wife and I lost 50 pounds since going low carb. Her high blood pressure is now normal. Her calloused feet are 99% better. I was using a cane three years ago and now I don't need it. In fact I walk 5,000 steps or more a day. I'm sticking with my high fat diet and plan to get my arteries checked again in January 2025. My triglycerides to HDL ratio is 1.0 which indicates a very low risk for heart disease.
Super curious if you lower your CAC score. I’m basically a new man after starting to eat this way. God speed!
The trigs to hdl ratio (1 :1 for you) is actually just a proxy measure of insulin sensitivety and over-all metabolic health .Your cac score of 305 shows an amount of Calcified/hard plaque which means the Atherosclerotic process has begun already ,and a ct Angiogram would be needed to see if you have any soft plaque ,as well . I just think its not very prudent to interpret your 1:1 as whats in your comment, when you already have some plaque in your arteries .
@@kenadams5504 calcified plaque is not the problem that soft plaque represents. If the current metabolic numbers are good, saft plaque is likely resolving or resolved. The hard plaque will not likely change.
@@kenadams5504 Okay doctor.
@@drshanebakerThe cac of 305 seems like a high amount to me .I'm not a cardiologist , but if that was my score ,I'd get a ct Angiogram scan to see the amount of blockage in the artery .Apparently, the coronary arteries are only about 3mm/4mm wide .I take your point about soft plaque being more likely to break up ,and the 1.0 ratio indicating good current metabolic health .
Meat and animal fats have everything your body needs and nothing your body doesn’t need. Your body does not need plant toxins, pesticides, sugars, fiber, carbs that act like drugs in the body with withdrawal symptoms that affect mood and brain fog, feeds mold, feeds bad bacteria, and is hard on the digestive system.
This diet alone got rid of symptoms I was having from mold toxicity, Sibo, pmdd, cptsd, brain fog/fatigue, stress, inflammation, chronic pain, acid reflux, and I lost weight - all in one month. Treatments for these costs thousands and ongoing and weren’t even working! All managed within a month from carnivore. I am spending less money on groceries by getting grass fed beef and wild caught fish too.
The downside - the shame and invalidation others give me. Thank you for this podcast - there is so much potential for this to help those who are suffering.
Hi. Amazing results 👏...but just one question. How do you maintain the calorie intake when on carnivore diet? I looked at this and I'd have to eat a lot of meat every day to get to 2000kcal...olive oil perhaps?
@@igorgasperec Not really. Dinner is a steak and mince (1 lb total). For breakfast bacon, 5 eggs and a sausage. That's about 1800 cal. The rest is butter, eat several pieces a day. Easily pass the 2,000 cal mark.
@@igorgasperecyou don’t need to count calories on this diet or eat that much. Your body tells you when it’s hungry and when it’s full, not when it needs another carb fix from blood sugar lowering. Protein and fats are high calorie, it doesn’t take much anyways. I can just eat a can of sardines and beef with ghee, butter, tallow a day and weight lift. EVOO in the morning and at night or throughout the day. But my body can tolerate these things, some may need to be more restrictive for the first month or they may need to eat a ton at first. Some days I need to eat more, whether protein for fullness or fat for energy or salt/potassium chloride for focus. You learn to listen to your body not count calories.

This is great. I've been on the carnivore for two and a half months, check my journey out in my channel, but I've nothing but great things to say about it. Lost 20kg in two months, no more depression and suicidal thoughts, and I can go into interviews full of energy and confidence like never before. Before, I would prepare a script and read it awkwardly in front of the interviewers because of my anxiety, now, I come in blasting with calmness and confidence and they're really impressed because of my overall joyous vibe, full of life. Thanks Shawn Baker and an awesome podcast overall!
Was 335 on October 23rd 2023 and after 8 months Carnivore down to 225 lbs. 66 years old and 6'2"
awesome well done i am starting the carnivore diet on July 1st for 90+ days minimum need to lose a bunch of weight and get healthier
Awesome!
Great job! What an awesome testimony!
❤🎉 great
🎉Amazing! Can you say what food you mainly ate please?
59 yo w severe autoimmune issues. Couldn’t get out of bed. In desperation I tried carnivore. That was 11 months ago. I lost 32 lbs, have muscles again, no meds anymore, and feel like I’m aging in reverse. I am feeling so good I didn’t stop at 90 days. I don’t ever want to feel that bad again.
Do you have dairy
@@Debbie-rp1pi rarely ever
I enjoy the carnivore diet …14 months now! Feeling better & lost 67 pounds. I was always sick from vegetables & most fruits. 🤷🏼🥩👍🏻
Eat a protein rich and fatty meal, if you're still a tad hungry wait for 15 minutes. You'll be so darn full you couldn't eat another bite
I’m on the carnivore diet and I’ve consumed hundreds of hours of content and I can say that was by far my most favorite interview of Dr Baker to date. Really impressed
After only 3 consecutive meals of meat, I was hooked!
I'm 56 years old and I had never, in my entire life, eaten 3 meals consisting of meat only one after the other - and I'm probably not alone!
We have been so brainwashed it's unbelievable...
In my case, I noticed the effects on my joints immediately.
I do feel a bit tired but the relief from the joint pain is well worth it and it is getting better...
I don't think I'll ever go back to eating 'normally'.
No ranting, no dogma. Great to hear
Belly fat is the hardest to lose. I've been either keto, ketovore, or carnivore for 2 years now. I've lost 70 pounds and still have 70 more to go. Every 2 weeks I write my weight and measurements down in my journal. I have lost inches around my neck, my chest, my arms, my wrists, my thighs, and my ankles. But my belly is slow to shrink. For 2 years I believed I would shrink equally all over as I lost weight but I now realize that is not the case. While other fat goes away belly fat is here to stay, at least for me it is. But I chip away at it every day, low carb all the way, baby!
Are you female?
Cause women are supposed to have round bellies, to an extent.
When are you going to give up writing down your weight and just go live your life?
You’re right! Belly fat is super stubborn🥺. I’ll bet tho that it comes off towards the end of your weight loss goal. Loving this way of eating and it’s amazing to feel satiated for hours of the day. Keep up the great work!
You might want to try intermittent fasting to help. Listen to Dr. Jason Fung. It’s helped me.
@@deannastorfie7437 Dr. Jamnadas "Fasting For Survival" is another great video. Thank you for your suggestion, I do like Dr. Fung and often watch his content.
Walking helps with belly fat.
I have been on and off a carnivore diet for about 4 months (carnivore, keto, water wasting) and i have never weghed as much as i do now but i have also never had muscles this visible and large! I also lost my dadbod and beer gut even though i have been working 80 hours a week (office job) and not able to get my workouts in
Carnivore diet is so healing ...Dr Baker is doing so much good to spread the msg meat heals ❤❤
😂😂😂 Im Brazilian and I guess it is funny the fact that his name is Baker
if he were born on BR🇧🇷 he could actually be called "padeiro" 😅🍞🥐 or am I wrong?
every time I go carnivore I lose 40lbs, my stomach isn't constantly bloated, my depression is lower, my work out drive goes up, I only eat once a day at dinner, I can barely eat an entire bone in ribeye it usually takes me two days to eat one 2 1/2" steak. I don't drink and my bathroom time ends up completely regular. But I keep falling off the wagon.
The microbiome and people who have no colon (for whatever reason) is a dang good point 👍👍👍
See the channel Kent Carnivore. He has no colon and describes how meat is fully digested and other foods are not.
I don't eat it either but shopping with friends I can tell you cereal isn't cheap. Probably much more expensive per once than the best cuts of meat.. Namaste 😎🦋
Exactly 💯💯
Yes, I came to Canada in 1992, my husband at the time pushed us on bfast cereals with milk. After few months I got severe allergies so I started to read labels on everything including cereal boxes and what I found was astonishing to me. They put some grains, wheat mostly worth few cents and charged $2.49 per box. I saw the scam right away. Stoped eating but my ex ate more and more because he got addicted, now I know. And cereal boxes got more and more expensive every year to $5 and now I don’t even look at it. He was buying 5 boxes per week and our weekly budget was $120 for 4 people. Imagine stress!
Imagine a scientist telling people they can’t conduct a study 😂. I’m looking at you Fauci and whatever the hell this guys name is from Stanford.
77 year old carnivore since 2018. Healed many ailments and love it. Eat once or twice a day. Two to 3 lbs of beef a day, never hungry, can skip couple days if busy without thinking about food. Salt enhances my beef flavor.all other spices spoil and over power taste. Love Dr Baker!
There are so many kooks in this field it's good to find someone with a balanced point of view, and an interviewer who actually asks the questions we want to hear answered.
I like Dr Kenneth Berry too
It is reasonable to expect quitting addictions on Carnivore is possible because your brain is becoming more healthy.
Absolutely.The first craving that left me was for alcohol.So I didn't drink much to begin with, and now it's pretty much zero😊
@@Habanero777 I quit Wine as part of Carnivore but then after 5 months Carnivore I quit coffee which I drank for 50 years. Now I only drink water.
Hope to quit weed and maaaybe coffee. Damn coffee is so good but I believe it seriously messes with electrolyte balance.
The more strict I am with carbs the less desire I have to smoke weed. Been a couple of days now I hope I stay off it.
Shawn is great I love his calmness.
@@lightningshredder5605 It's just a matter of not using the stuff. Train your brain and fatty beef and fatty lamb helps to do that because fat is healthy.
I am SO thrilled to see one of my favorite health podcasters, who I've followed for years, interview one of the carnivore doctors! I tried carnivore for 2 months and it completely changed me. Sugar addiction crept back in and I'm trying to get back!
I follow him since my journey into carnivore! 6 years 🎉
Best interview of Dr. Baker that I’ve seen. Kudos.
As a believer in Jesus as my Lord and Savior I believe my days are numbered. Nothing I do will change that number. However, I can live my life in my best nutritional state in order to live vibrantly until the day I die vs living sick and miserable and making those around me miserable too. I’m not dogmatic however I am meat based 100% of the time. A deviation from my daily routine is ketovore or keto
Same here, 6 years of freedom from pains and sickness! Meat heals 🎉
Yes, wise plan. People don’t understand what suffering and hell on earth is until the Reaper knocks on the door with a gift of diabetes to usher in the new age of decline. The reaper reaps the behaviours we sow. Pain and simple. Hell often begins before we leave this plain.
Well said....so we both long to hear;
"Well done, good and faithful Servant". 😅
Love Dr Baker 💪 strong lad. Carnivore rules - I am on it for the past two years or so; I feel amazing
This is one of the best interviews both of you have ever done. Thank you! Sharing widely with my vegan & carnivore friends. ❤
Been on this diet for 3 weeks. Tough to adjust at first but I don't know if I'll go back to regular eating.
With ozempic we are entering a new era -- the era of the war between the Big Food, whose products make us eating more, and the Big Farma, whose products make us eating less. Poor us ... 😢
They're not so much at war as two sides of the same coin...
😢
Bullshit. If I were 20 years old and the 50 year old came back in time to guide me - I would do everything I could in order to attempt to listen to me. I think I would fail 9 out of 10 times but god damnit I would certainly TRY? Maybe? I think? If I knew it were me 100% for sure? Maybe? I think? Like for sure smoking, alcohol, drugs, but maybe not Army, War, Paramedics, Combat, and all my construction experience. I have no idea maybe. Think about it as an experiment. I'm thinking if my father didn't have to work 24 hours a day 7 days a week to support us maybe my dad would have told me? I have had many old ass Army Soldiers and many old construction workers point me in the direction of a man. I actually was actively helping young soldiers and marines become men not to mention my step son and my nephews and the boys who have worked for me in my construction business. But my main protégé who I lived very much. His mother my psychiatrist at the VA and thin to me to make him a man. I did. He worked at my farm, worked construction with me and I thought him how to do logging - he always wanted to be a Marine because his favorite uncle my Drs brother was a Marine in Vietnam. Well I got him sober, off all drugs, out of school, got him working out preparing for basic training and BAM! He got accepted, went to basic and AIT and I was so proud. He did his 3 year tour spent his time in Japan mostly "diesel heavy equipment mechanic" like on the farm and for the road construction company. I was so proud. His mother my Dr, his Uncle Azhar the Marine, his big sister and his estranged father were all so proud. I was so proud. One of the best things I have ever done in my life and I have trained many young men and believe it or not young female soldiers too.
One day I got a call from his big sister. She had just gotten married and had a brand new baby boy - so beautiful. And just a year prior his mother my Dr had died of kidney failure. So I wanted to be there for the family. Well His big Sis calls me out of the blue to tell me he was dead, had a girlfriend dump him and was fucking another guy he knew, So she left him. To get her back for breaking his heart - he decided to shoot himself in the head and blow his fucking brains out. He thought that would show her? He thought that was the answer? He thought what??? Leaving his sister alone and his baby nephew and me and his uncle and his dad was the right answers to basically a whore? I wish I had spent more time with him. I actually got him in the weight correction he needed to go to the Marines BECAUSE of the CARNIVORE diet!!! That's what kicked off his health transformation. I've lost so many comrades and friends to suicide. I don't know what to do anymore. I want to help young men. I want young men to stop the poison food stuffs - exercise - study stoicism - help other people and NEVER EVER THINK A WOMAN - just because she is your first love that she is EVER worth your life / NEVER WORTH YOUR LIFE. If young men started eating mostly meat, at least stopping g the poison food stuffs over processed and working out, striving toward goals including education and skills, I think we could save our young me. I miss him so much and I feel so guilty and I believe his mother who has passed would be so disappointed in me for letting it come to this. I have felt like this for everyone of my male friends who have killed themselves. I hear people take about a lot of stuff. But always playing in my background music is all my dead boys.
@@notgunnadoit7461 Dearest friend. Do not believe the lies of our spiritual enemies who whisper accusations that you failed. You are one of the few people in his life who did NOT fail him. You and he are the ones who got his life turned around! Don't EVER lose sight of that. Keep praying for our servicemen amd women that they find complete healing for their PTSD. Keep directing them to carnivore, which is the physical component to their healing, and to God, who is the Great Physician. God bless you for everything you are doing for others..
He is so right about addiction to food, but I cannot help believe that 14% of the population is addicted to food. It must be higher.
Addicted personalities jump from one addiction to another, and bounce around. It can be booze, cigarettes, sex, drugs, money, gambling, etc.
Instant self gratification is the major issue, and can that be beat?
It hides and rules most people's lives.
Most people lack discipline and so to eat carnivore for a month, I would have to be locked up.
I feel like it's way higher too, like 90%. Practically all my friends can't fathom dropping their shit foods.
@@D4rkBl4de I have been carnivore for 17 months. It is wonderful to finally be free of my food addiction. In the beginning, I told myself I would do the diet one month, thinking I probably would not last a week. I felt so much improvement, I gave it another week. And then another. I am carnivore for the rest of my life!
I would say everybody I encounter is addicted to carbs, whether it is pure sugar, grains, fruits, etc. They don't think they could be carnivore because they love their carbs.
@D4rkBl4de right!
Haha! Dr Bakers haters have wasted no time jumping in with the predictable thoughtless remarks. Isn’t most of your content long form, and the interviewees make a living?
How does this doctor stay so strong and have a slim stomach?
Dr Baker God bless you!
We started carnivore 3 months nice interview
well I just spit my coffee out of my mouth and nose when Doc Shawn said his patients knee looked like a dog been chewing on for a week but is better now lol, 😆😅🤣😂☕👃🐽 boom daddy .
$2000 for a scan?? what a rip-off, cost me like $300 bucks in Dubai
What type of scan is it? 😅 maybe I missed that part in the podcast
Some races of people thrive on a carnivore diet. I didn’t…
Eat 20-50 percent protein as meat beef with fat give satiety and secret GLp1 to feel full. 25 percent of protein used to digest the protein as energy.Meat will be digested and absorbed before reaching the colon so microbiome is not involved. So we don’t need prebiotics and probiotics and fermentation in the colon.Only 4 percent as human can digest fibres so we need microbiome to digest vegetables and fibres. If suffering from IBS used to fast 1-2 days then eat little clean mince meat and one cooked potato and one tomato.( my personal story), then after years ate kabab and backed chicken in Tanoor. We are animals cells we needs animal protein,American diet is rubbish. People on continuum , eat meat for3 months to see if it works ?
😊
DR Baker is the Man
Dealing with right branch bundle block & 2nd degree A-V block type 2. Cardiologist is threatening with telling department of transportation that my license needs revoked. HDL LDL cholesterol are normal, walked over an hour
Can I just take a moment to express my endless gratitude to people like doctor Baker? I have been struggling with my stomach/digestion for 20 years. Up to the point where I even started thinking about ending it all. The last 3 months I have only been able to do a number 2 with help of laxatives. This Carnivore diet was my last hope. Now 1 week in and it has already made a world of difference. This morning, for the 3rd morning in a row, a cup of coffee and a cigarette and straight to the toilet. Just like in the old days. And I am SO FREAKING HAPPY AND RELIEVED !! I can't even find the words. I hope this continues this way but I have 100% trust now. You guys saved my life. You literally saved a life. And I have 2 small children as well. You saved their happiness as well. You're a hero sir 😎
I am so very happy for you and your loved ones. They need you around. The rest of your life is going to be the best yet watching your kids grow up. You will be able to play outside with them and keep them away from the TV and Internet.
That twin documentary was pure garbage
It’s sad that people just want information in headline format. Stop being lazy and actually learn.
Nutrition science is hopelessly confounded-healthcare is hopelessly conflicted.
I did this diet for four weeks and I had such a hard time Because of oxalate dampening. Every thing that could go wrong did. I had to go bk to my original diet that was keto mostly to get my strength back. Now I’m stoned lower oxalates diet and I’m waiting until I go back to carnivore without those side effects. Do u have any advice for me
That’s my problem… I under eat and keep losing weight and I don’t need to lose weight… I need more protein to I need to eat more meat.. 🥩
Me too. I am now underweight. Now eating my scrambled eggs in butter and porterhouse steak for breakfast 😊
