Very commonly asked question is about whether you need fiber for digestion, and whether you'll get constipation on a carnivore diet. In fact, some get loose stools instead of constipation on Carnivore, and don't know why. Well, you're answers are here! Share this with others who you think it would help!

I was vegan for over 10 years my health had to changed grossly. I literally had to stop my food business because half of my cartilage somehow disappeared from my left hip and they were throwing out hip surgery into the air at the doctors office. I’ve always been into doing everything natural, so I was on another quest to find out what was going on with my body. My oldest daughter introduced me to carnivore, and after one night of listening to all the carnivore doctors online, I jumped right in head first. My husband looked at me like I was nuts because I went from one extreme to the other. I was eating cheese and fish mostly at the beginning and then I started really bringing that meat in heavy and now I have been eating mostly meat. I love it. My brain works 100% better. My body works 100% better. I feel so much better and I’m so grateful forever grateful. I feel like I need to definitely share this with the world, because It has made A 365° difference in my life
That's awesome, very happy for you!! What is the prognosis with the missing cartilage in the hip? Is it better now?
Great story, keep going!
Started carnivore diet 4 mos ago. I am 59 yrs old nurse and all of my colleagues think I am crazy. Even a doctor who is a picture of health with horrible labs. My doctor hasn`t discouraged me but not support me either. However, they agree my skin looks better along with weight loss. I no longer have arthritis pain and I have had 2 hand surgeries removing the trapezium from both hands. My husband is 65 and has washboard abs in 4 mos. Pretty sure we are not the crazy people!
Awesome, good job!
Well you are crazy
I've just bought half a cow, quarter of a pig, and 5kg of chicken.
100% carnivore starting tomorrow.
Meat, salt, water.
How it go mr w
This man is 100 percent correct. I have had ulcerative colitis for 8 years and at first when I got off sugar, it got a little better but I would still have terrible flare ups. When I cut out the fiber, my flare ups nearly disappeared. When I transitioned to all animal foods, it felt like I had awoken from an 8 year nightmare. Now I'm flare up free and feeling better than I ever did even before I got colitis.
I'm trying to convince my mom to go animal-based, as she has had ulcerative colitis for 8 years. But as a vegetarian for over 30 years, it is hard to convince her.
same with mine luckily she eats more red meat now and using a subscription for delivery of grass fed meats
@@frogsofindia
Did you stop all your medication for UC? Hope your still doing better!
I did the same thing. Cut out sugar for 3 years. didn't solve it. Went carnivore and cured.
Following
I love how you talk. It’s like a dad talking to his kids about safety 😊.
Haha, I'll take that as a compliment!
I totally agree! I feel safe when I’m listening to his advice and his advice is working, I’ve never looked or felt better in my life.
Soft spoken gentleman.
I thought I was the only one who felt this way! He's so gently soft spoken, its lovely lol
Yes. Reminds me of Dr Berg - their delivery really draws you in. Their knowledge keeps you.
Stopping buying loaves of bread and not having sandwiches 5 times a week, best decision I ever made. My stomach is settled for the first time since I was 13. Been on animal based since March 2023. I'm 40 next birthday.
My husband 75 ( I am 70) is SO worried about my cholesterol because I eat meat, fat,cheese, milk from grass fed cows (or raw when I can), bacon, LOTS of eggs ( we raise our own)and more meat!!! He is constantly urging me to go to the doctor for a blood panel. When I was 65 I had a calcium score done and it was zero. The doctor said although my LDL was high ( 177) she saw no need to put me on a statin (of which I would not take!) My husband is on a statin, blood pressure meds, nitrogen tabs, and a couple other meds. I think I’ll keep eating meat!!!
You are fine. I hope you are joking in the last comment.
Statins deprive your brain of fat of which it is made of. So many are put on it and now we there's an epidemic of alzheimers. Do you want to lose your memory & ability to care for yourself because pharmaceutical companies want to make $$$$? Brain washed people are hard to retrain.
Sounds like your husband is ill informed , doesn't care or acknowledge what you do and will certainly die before you .
The bottom line is your husband is quite stupid, whereas you use common sense. You just may not be able to fix stupid.
All those medications your husband is taking are prescribed for diet related ailments. The carbs your husband is eating are far more harmful for him than those fats are for you
My poor 21 year old son , 6’4, 210, former 275 football player, lives on laxatives, stool softeners, fiber stuff …Keeps loosing weight:( ….plant based . :((( I just started carnivore & hoping he will follow when he sees results. Thank you for this vital information! ❤️😊
That's why debating the big pharma big food sponsored vegan agenda is not some trivial flippant diversion but a serious fight and every parent's responsibility to protect our next generation from its brainwashing. My daughter is 3 y.o and on a carnivore diet but I don't know how long I can keep her on it before she develops her own mind and decides to go with the mainstream narrative
How is he now?
My daughter was vegan and after years she started losing her hair. I told her she needs to eat meat. Then she added eggs and cheese but eventually added meat too.
How is he now? How are you after 5months starting carni?
Fat he needs. Mct oil
Maybe 15 years ago I was recommended by a specialist to stop eating most vegetables for my gut health....I didn't listen, but it's all coming full circle now
I see children who have processed food as their diet, took ADHD meds and have constipation. Instead of recommending easing off the adhd medication and or improving their diet, the doctor recommended Metamucil.
After months of taking Metamucil, there was no improvement.
Then the doctors prescribed laxative,
These are 9 and 10 years old children.
I despise the current medical system/standard of care.
They suck so much I completely opted out of it.
Started eating a meat based diet. Three years without seeing a doctor and no medication. Happy as a clam:) Lost 30 pounds and gained lean muscles.
Eating hamburger meat cheese and 4 eggs right now while watching this! Been feeling so energized these last 3 days… it’s insane. Never felt like this on carbs.
Stop the cheese
There's one particular friend whom I pray sees this. You know who you are, and I hope you can forgive me for challenging your vegetarian/vegan beliefs, but I can't sit by while you deteriorate without at least trying to pass on this knowledge. Make your choices, and know that regardless what you choose, and how angry you may be at me, I'm still your friend. I just hope you can escape the constant pains you're experiencing. 🤗❤
When I developed gastrointestinal problems, all my doctors kept pushing on me was more fiber, more fiber, more fiber, more water, more fiber, more water, more vegetables, more fiber, more water, more vegetables…… Ugh 🤦🏻♂️ If there’s ONE profession that requires empathy, objectivity, integrity, imagination, thinking outside the box, it’s the medical field.
Yeah I agree, and to look at things objectively and see that when you recommend the same thing and the same bad result happens, that you should stop making that recommendation. And yet they don't, they say "imagine how bad it would be you got DIDN'T listen to me!" It's bad
@@anthonychaffeemd Indeed. It has reeked havoc on my confidence in the medical industry, I mean field.
@@k9cop68 yeah, I have serious concerns there as well
Things will change as more medical professionals start to listen to their intuition, patients, and question the 'science'.
Patient...means we have to be patient with those we see in medical profession as they, like most of us, are caught between their programming and their intuition.
And most alternative healers still promote plant based eating. To date I have consulted with only one naturapath who advocated for meat based eating. She also recommended a host of tests which my then doctor begrudgingly gave me a referral for with the statement that naturapaths don't know everything so I assumed she meant doctors have superior knowledge...
The upshot:
The doctor sent me to a psychologist for my undiagnosed spasmodic dysphonia and the naturapath recommend a thyroid ultrasound which revealed three growths.
The doctor said come back in six months to retest my blood sugars and if they are still high she would prescribe medication the naturapath recommended a ketogenic diet.
The naturapath detected depression, anxiety, ocd, adhd and autism in my emotional body, and thyroid, detoxification and heart issues in my physical body.
Meat based eating seems to calm all those farms but what do I know I am not a doctor. All good I am a specialist in me, myself and I so I shall scaffold my health with the wisdoms of other self-specialising people.
We need to teach all health professionals to hear us and treat us as a category of one rather than one of a category.
@@anthonychaffeemdhigh mate what's your opinion on stevia
I’ve been very nervous about starting carnivore since I have IBS-D, but this gave me a knew understanding of my bodily functions and needs. I’m doing a lot of research before starting, but I’m praying it’s the answer to my health problems.
Carnivore cured my ibs-d
Update?
@@notafan6 so it’s been a slow process. I started by cutting out all processed foods. The last two weeks I’ve been on “moderate” keto, and this week I start by cutting down my carbs even more. I’ve had some variations in my bowel movements, nothing severe, and actually no IBS flairs yet. Im excited to keep moving along and see what changes or improves!
@@kcarter0265 awesome job! Come back and update every month! And remember us when you're famous!
Good luck@@kcarter0265
Yeah I thought when I went carnivore I'd have constipation issues but I've had no problems at all. My previous high fibre diet was an absolute disaster. My gut was destroyed
U eat a lot of fat??
Me too.
Agree with this. Same thing happened to me. All those talks about oats being healthy for you is a pure lie!
My gut is destroyed :( so bloated when I eat plant foods . I’ve finally had enough
It’s great to have doctors finally telling us the truth
I don't think they have been lying. Most of them haven't studied the subject. It is hard to change old habits.
Right before the end times lol
I know I can't eat plants after going carnivore recently. Decades of constipation and a year of green smoothies did me in and almost blocked the bowels. Had to take laxatives to get the final plant foods through and now BM are easy and pain free. I was at wits end with constipation until I heard about the carnivore diet. I was on it the very next day, best thing I ever did!
Stopping intake of fiber is one of the best things I have ever done nutritionally. Haven’t had any in almost two years. I have never felt better.
This makes sense because it does cause problems for me!! And always has!!
I was eating soooo many fruits and veggies as a vegan/vegetarian (I even ate 1 pound of leafy greens a day at one point!). Sooo much gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Now that I'm animal-based, I feel so much better - no more IBS!!!
What do you eat in a day?
Generally: eggs and bacon for breakfast, ground beef for lunch, and steak for dinner. I still enjoy my black tea and hot chocolate (made with raw milk, no sweetener) and sometimes snack on homemade challah bread (made with Italian flour). It's hard not to indulge sometimes, and when I start getting digestive upset, I go back to a purer meat diet.
Great to hear you're doing well, just some knowledge for you is that putting raw milk into your hot beverages like coffee or tea will actually heat/pasteurize the raw milk and defeat the purpose of the unpasteurized/raw milk. Just trying to help out!@@frogsofindia
Anthony has saved my life!!!! I hope one day he gets recognized for being honest and not pushing money making agendas. Love you Anthony!!!! 🤜🤛
You're killing it. Changed my life. Now mom is also on board and healing fast. Whenever doubts arise, I listen to you and they disappear. We both thank you deeply.
Same ❤
I was on fiber for over twelve years and constantly constipated with all that NON-USABLE, NON-NUTRITIONAL stuff inside me. You hammered us with no fiber, but we hear the contrary from every doctor that fiber will solve digestive and gastro problems. It's like telling diabetics that they can eat fruit 👍🏾
You speak with the voice of an angel! I have struggled with fiber for YEARS. Severe gas, a very noisy system that kept me up at night, cramps in the morning... just a general feeling of lethargy and pain all because I tried to be a good little human and eat my veggies. I had to stop eating broccoli because it was among the worst of culprits. Cabbage because the stomach monster. I didn't dare touch kale. I started out keto and have reduced my diet to keto-vore; I still eat some veggies like mushrooms and olives and peppers. But for the most part, it's all the meat I can get my hands on. And yet, at the back of my mind, I was wondering if I needed fiber. so, THANK YOU, Dr Chaffee!! You have set me free!
I can really relate to this video. I was a vegetarian for 25 years and began suffering from constipation alternating with loose stools, plus frequent abdominal pain in my 40s. It got worse as I reached my 60th year. At that time I became interested in fasting to lose weight (i'd also put on some lbs in the meantime) and stumbled into keto. That was 2018 and I committed to it for a year. I did lose weight but I was surprised that all of my abdominal problems seemed to go away too. Great. But then I experienced the death of a loved one and went into a tailspin. I stopped eating for a while due to the depression and when I got out of that I just began eating whatever I wanted; heavy carbs, even some junk food. That lasted through the covid years. I noticed my abdominal issues coming back and this time with a vengeance. By the beginning of 2022 I was in pain so often that my daily life was negatively impacted. I began to dread eating anything, knowing the effects. I also began noticing blood so I finally got (the dreaded) colonoscopy. OMG, they cut out like 10 polyps, 2 of which were quite large (and "very old"). It was an awful experience but within 2 days I felt like a new person! No cancer was detected. My system was back to normal! To celebrate I went totally overboard on eating whatever I wanted. But then I found myself gainjng way too much. So back to keto I go! Since December 2022 I've lost 15 lbs and since I've been doing 85% carnivore, with plenty of fat, my digestion and elimination feels practically perfect. I really screwed myself up with 40 years of too much processed food and fiber!
Did you eat eggs and butter or just fatty meats?
I can relate too. Terrible IBS for decades. My transit time from mouth to toilet is about 2.5 hours. I started carnivore 5 days ago and although not perfect - instead of pooping 8-12X/day, it's 2X/day. My IBS was never so bad as when I did Forks Over Knives for 6 weeks.
My diet was very similar to your last mentioned one but I noticed blood in my stool and after a colonoscopy found one polyp that was cancerous. After all of the usual chemotherapy, radiation, surgery then follow up chemo I’m now cancer free. Sadly I’ve been plagued with diarrhea since then (2008) and I’ve struggled with “cures” that all emphasized high fibre. I’m thinking carnivore maybe will be a success (?).
I feel like we just need to pretend all health recommendations from the CDC need to be completely ignored from 1970 - on.
Certainly everything based on things that are known to be fraudulent, yes
Much like prescriptions and v a c c I n e s
I love Dr. Chaffee. He is just a beast and smart as hell. I would like to see him and Dr. Berry in a podcast.
Sorry guys, late to the game. Just started carnivore about 1.5 weeks ago and these videos of his are answering my questions very well.
Thanks Dr. Chafee!! I was having terrible constipation about 5.5 years ago. My gastroenterologist told me to take psyllium husk fiber and have 100 grams fiber per day. I mistakenly followed her advice. Nope not great results. Made it 10x worse. Then I found ketogenic woe and then carnivore. Feel better in my 50’s than I ever did in my 20’s 🎉
Great stuff thanks man. Brazilian carnivore doctor here. I think exactly same way
I really enjoy your lessons. I'm 66, started carnivore two months ago and I'm feeling great. It makes me very excited for the future. Thank you.
I just began watching your content and love how no nonsense you are about nutrition. I love the “sciency” aspect of it. Grew up eating meat heavy, animal fats (bacon grease, beef tallow) with a little veg and potato. No health issues. In the 80’s we all were tricked. Weight piled on despite the “professionals” telling us how to eat healthy. I’m amazed how easy I was fooled. Thinking our bodies “needed” all the cr*#. Im so grateful I found Keto in 2017 and fixed my health BY MYSELF. No mumbo-jumbo. EAT. THE. MEAT. 😂Fool me no more!
AMEN Joann. I'm a retired RN & I'm working on repairing my metabolic health. Big pharma & the FDA are evil as can be. They fooled lotsa people.
1.5 years ago I ended up in the hospital for an emergency operation. of the appendix. The surgeon then told me that I needed to eat more fiber. I'm refraining from commenting because at the time I was on a ketogenic diet and eating 200g of salad every day. After recovery I switched to carnivore
Wow that happened to me too, spent all my life eating tons of plant food, had my appendix removed at age 63 and the surgeon said I hadn't been eating enough fibre 🙄
Dr.Chaffee is the only carnivore channel I follow. The most legit information out there.
Check out Dr. Ken Berry
OMG, I’m grateful I found your channel, everything you just spoke about makes so much sense to me, I was very close to have diverticulitis because I can’t digest food high in fiber, for example quinoa makes me very ill, I’m lactose and wheat intolerant, so I just started 3 months of carnivore diet thanks to you. I’m excited to feel the benefits.
Cheers from Australia 🐨🇦🇺
Great video! I’m 78 and just started my carnivore 8/6/22. I’ve had problems with constipation all my life EXCEPT when I was drinking a six pack or more of beer every day. When I stopped drinking some years ago the problem came right back. I am very hopeful about this carnivore way of eating. I also have coronary artery disease. I still drink coffee with a shot of heavy cream. People may say I’m crazy but I get it. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. Gary in South Carolina USA 🇺🇸
I am not ready to give my coffee up either, I enjoy black iced coffee when it’s hot, and frothy with heavy cream and pure Monk fruit extract for a treat.
👍
Every video I watch makes me feel more stupid. Before going carnivore I even used to take a fiber tablet daily. I’m so glad I found all this information. Thank you very much for your videos, I really appreciate them.
You’re not stupid… like most of us you’re a victim of the brainwashing of the bullshit (nutrition) industry…. At least one you’re on the right track….
If you were stupid, you wouldn't change when something isn't working. We're all doing the best we can with the knowledge we have at the time. The tricky part is figuring out who to trust.
What a freedom that we don’t need fiber, it’s like birthday every freaking meal.
That’s how I feel about carnivore. Meal planning is a snap, no groceries go to waste, and I don’t need to feel guilty about being such a lousy cook. Such freedom!
I know, right? 😂😂😂😂
Sorry, everyone, this was supposed to a Premier... My bad.
great video but still never said anything about dialysis patients..can we chat some how?
@@herschelesrxdialysissparta2391 you can hit me up on Instagram if you want to chat, or of you wanted to set up a formal consultation you can email me at AnthonyChaffee@gmail.com
But I have seen people come off dialysis on Carnivore after several months. Carnivore and high animal protein makes kidneys stronger, not weaker
@@anthonychaffeemdThen why is there now protein in my urine, hydronephrosis in my ureter, eGFR going down, creatinine getting higher, and they're telling me I'm now stage 3a??
Been carnivore a year. I'm scared
Your absolutely correct on the absorption rate on carnivore. The size of my bowl movements has greatly shrunk despite eating 2 to 3 pounds of meat a day. From my experience my body is just sucking it all up and using it. No constipation at all and no loose stools.
Wow probably one of the "BEST" explanation on the subject of "fiber"
My lower back was always hurting from so much plant foods, grains, nuts, seeds, vegetables, and fruit of so much fiber in my stomach. But kept thinking this is what they say to eat. Now I have been focusing on animal products only, no plants at all. Thanks for the info on fat to determine to add or pull back. How we've been fooled and suffering for years.
Thank you for your knowledge and sharing this for everyone 👍💗
I have a friend who fell off the toilet and broke her wrist because she was straining so hard to get poop out that she actually passed out! The doctor told her to increase her fibre.. I told her to decrease it but couldn't explain why so I'm very thankful I can now show her this video.
That’s intense. Yikes.
@Betty Amber salt flushes do the same, iirc, as movicol
Did your friend listen to Dr. Chaffee's advice/info? If not, go to pubmed and search - Stopping or reducing dietary fiber intake reduces constipation and its associated symptoms
Probably drunk too
Hard hitting facts coming at you for 20 mins
Thank you man. You really have our back and we’ve got yours in return 🙏🏼
This answered a ton of questions. Thank you so very much Dr Chaffee!
This clip gave me the exact information that I have been searching for.
Thankyou so much for explaining so clearly the issues and the reasons things happen.
Super helpful video! I'm 3 months carnivore, with 1 espresso every other day. My one year allergy to cold seems to retreat as well as other women health issues, my energy is back and my teeth started to get better, before carnivore my tooth tips where translucent and very fragile. Can't thank you enough for the effort you do to share with us all the knowledge you have for healthy life 🙏🏻
Good to hear you Dr. Chaffee, thank you 🙏 🙏
You are a blessing. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr Chaffee I have been on strict carnivore now, other than coffee, for a few weeks I have no gallbladder and I have gone through some of the issues you mentioned. In the beginning I thought I was constipated and so I added more fat, but after listening to you I realized I was not constipated. After adding more fat my stool is very loose and you’ve addressed that also so thank you very much.
Hi Pauline, I just started carnivore and also don’t have a gallbladder. Could you give an example of your meal plan for a day? Think I’m eating too much protein and not enough fat…but eating a stick of butter is unthinkable for me. Your feedback would be graciously appreciated.
@@msrawynnYou can add ghee or tallow, bacon fat, Dr Ken Berry has videos on the gall bladder, your liver ducts takeover.
@@karenreaves3650 awesome…thank you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you Dr. Chaffee for this awesome video. It truly came at the perfect time. My friend suffers from chronic fatigue and IBS. I've been trying to tell her that she doesn't need fiber. I have now shared your video with her in the hopes it will shed some light and I can convince her that fiber is making her feel worse!
Gratitude Dr. Anthony Chaffee!!!
WOW THANK YOU!!! SO CLEAR, BLESSINGS❤
I love the way you communicate, articulating each answer plainly to the standard objections. Wow! I'm off fiber now after 24 years of suffering from IBS, both types and being told I needed more fiber. Other than suffering occasionally from eating fructose presumably, I'm 90 percent better. I still avoid all FODMAPs or fried food.
Thank you for your work! I have been experimenting with keto for a few years and keto carnivore for a few weeks and my longstanding IBS is healing. If I keep improving at this rate, I am going to be totally free of abdominal pain by the end of the year. No more plants for me, except morning coffee. Meat, eggs, cheese are healing me!
Very helpful Doc!!!!
Dr C you are the man, i feel awesome, not looking too shabby either, feel strong as an Ox again. You also answer everything and with absolute solid confidence, all my worries and fearss have disappeared, thank you sir.
You cracked me with the ‘it can stay there until Christmas’ 😂 and I don’t even celebrate Christmas 😜
This video is brilliant! I added it to my ‘for skeptics’ playlist, and will share it whenever people tell me carnivore is no good for me cos I don’t eat fibres. Especially to someone I know, that has constipation, and her doctor told her to eat more oats 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you so much for this video! 💜
Haha I'm glad you liked it! And thank you very much for sharing, I hope they get something out of it as well!
Yeah I don’t celebrate either but I too found it funny 😂
@@betsydurham9067 😂😂😂
I love Dr Chaffee's turn of phrase too and not just because I love the Christmas season.
I would like to share this video with those who still believe the fibre, fat, vegetarian and force-feeding myths but I done with hitting the brick wall of their beliefs...not to mention their 'blockage'.
He’s getting better. It used be like talking to my doctor. What? Neuro what? Peris what? Yes it’s more dumbed down for me and more interesting.
Have to agree with the last post. You have a very mellifluous voice. Soft and pleasant, well-paced. AND, your information is so spot on. Carnivore has saved me from so many GI problems. My fave is lamb chops and lamb liver. So yummy!
this man is life saving
Thank you, so much
You know ,doc when I sometimes try to refer other MDs to your channel and to other 180 degree docs work , they say they would love to but they have no time . My reply is : well you don't have time because you don't do the right thing and therefor cure no one.
What you preach makes a lot of common sense as well as medical ditto.
As usual very good and sound medical advice . Thank you .
Wow I call this my FREEDOM DIET❤
Thanks for addressing this subject 🙏
Yet another amazing discussion by Dr Chaffee. Had someone the other day arguing with me about fiber. Just shy of 30 days on carnivore and feel great.
So well explained. So obviously true. Now if only you could convince all the other doctors and nutritionists...
Makes sense Dr Chaffee, great video thanks for all you do!
My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative as I am just starting carnivore. I especially appreciated your explanation of what to expect with elimination - I was concerned and now I understand that what my body is doing is natural and I can adjust my diet accordingly. Thank you!
This is exactly info I needed to hear . Thank you Dr Chaffee
My absolute favorite carnivore resource is you Dr Chaffee...... Thank you for giving all this great information in ways that are easily understood and most importantly remembered 🤗
Love these short videos. I can send to friends and family and they'll actually watch lol. Can you do some on regenerative farming vs mono croping, environmental and animal death/harm for carnivore vs vegan?
I’ve been lied to my whole life!!! Thanks for spreading the truth.
Thanks for your time much appreciated.
Thanks doc! 7 days after less fiber, my colon pain 95 % is gone
I recently did 3 months straight of carnivore with no problems at all with constipation. Then I went off strict carnivore, due to a relative's birthday celebration, and have eaten more stuff with fiber in it. Within a week I had troubles with constipation, including a bit of a problem today, though I am now cutting back down on the stuff I was eating with fiber in it.
What I really like about Dr Chaffee is the way he explains, confirms and reinforces his point.
Thank you brother for all your information.
Admittedly I'm still drinking coffee, 1-2 cups black per day at most.
Lifting heavy n strict feeling great.
Thank you 😊
Another fantastic video….can’t thank you enough for basically saving my life. 🤗
Wow, thank you so much Amber, I'm so glad to hear that!
Thank you for another informative and highly entertaining video, Dr Chaffee. There were a few times I laughed out loud (loved the plastic bag analogy, as well as "It can stay in there until Christmas...". Priceless!). My husband and I were always curious what happened to fat consumed in excess of our body's daily need, and I think you were one of the first people we found who addressed that question (in another video a while back). So thank you for all the info. Love your engaging style! 👍
What was the answer?
@@lemon_jthe meat is absorbed by the body..it doesn't turn to waste to dispel..the body uses 98% of tge meat you eat.."waste-d" food is unabsorbed by the body and dispelled out the body..makes so much sense..than what we were taught and believed for so many years..smh
He said it'll come out as loose stools.
Oh my!! I really needed this. Was soooo worried about tum works and really having to go carefully with fat due to no gallbladder.
This is one the best videos I've ever seen.
I'm so glad I've found your channel!!!
I want to get better from autoimmune issues and the way the explain everything makes so much sense.
All information, no padding.
Love it!!!!!
Great explanation. I had IBS-C all my life; I'm 65. I found carnivore almost 2 years ago. I am no longer constipated. I have MS and it is now quiescent. My self experiment using fruits and vegetables to "cure" my bloating and constipation caused undue suffering. Very grateful to have found carnivore; wish I had learned of it years ago. Dr. Chaffee, I think a conversation between you and Dr. Rhonda Patrick would be fascinating.
I was exactly like you. Life long suffer from IBS, constipation and autoimmune. All the doctors told me to eat more fruits and vegetables. My physical and mental health declined year after year to a point I wasn't going to live no more. I change changed to canivore plus little bit rice, white bread. All my illnesses disappeared. Its like a miracle.
Hi Dr Chaffe, so happy to have found you! I started out keto, transitioned into ketovore, and now on week 2 of carnivore. To have to eliminate alcohol, keto sweeteners, dairy and coffee is just too much for me to handle at this point. I’ve almost eliminated dairy not even being sure wether or not it’s hard on me but with my history of SIBO and inflammation it’s probably a good idea. I did break down one night and have a glass of red wine as well as a keto approved dessert. I am still having coffee and trying to go most days without the stevia but it’s been quite difficult. When you said eliminate artificial sweeteners did you mean stevia as well? I was a frequent pooper for years and the closer I get to Carnivore the less I poop. In these past 2 weeks I’ve averaged once or twice a day and then every 3rd day will skip a day which is unheard of for me. I can’t help but wonder if I eliminated coffee would I poop even less? I was diagnosed with SIBO almost 6 yrs ago and would assume I don’t have it with these diet changes but don’t know for sure. I recently heard eggs aren’t good if you have SIBO due to high sulfur. I eat a lot more eggs after getting on the keto spectrum so would be really disappointed to have to give those up. Thank you so much for all you do!!😃
How are your bowel movements, did they got any better?
This makes TOTAL sense .. Thanks Dr Chaffee!!
Very helpful Dr. C
So direct and easy to understand. Really love that I found your wonderful educational videos. Going carnivore almost 4 months now 98% carnivore it’s really changed my digestive system, my mood, my sleep, my hormones. I can’t wait to see what else it will do in the future. Ive had CIRIS since birth and I can only imagine if I was eating this way from the beginning it wouldn’t have been so extreme. Hopefully it can reverse some of the damage over time. I have never eaten for fat or protein but I’ve always craved it so now that I can eat it without feeling guilt I know why I was craving it so bad because my body needed it.
Did you try this? How did the fat and carnivore diet work?
@@luvfitall this December marks a full year going full animal based. Before that I always ate clean foods not junk. Exercise regularly, outside light, no phones before bed. I really tried to be healthy. Anyways before trying this way of eating I never thought my diet before could be causing my health issues. One yr into animal base I’m certain those plants caused me 80% of my problems.
@@Aliciaskinsecret thank you so much. Ugh! It’s so hard to retrain the mind. Plus I feel like I would get so bored and crave everything. I don’t want to eat the same thing for the rest of my life is the problem. I want variety😩
@@luvfitall that’s great that you do though as that means your not sick like I was and I’d never wish that on anyone. I never want to be as sick as I was ever again it lasted to long. I’m now 42 and need to live a good life. I don’t crave anything in my past because of what it did to me. So for you to not feel that way means you still healthy & strong and doing good. I don’t think this diet has to be for everyone just depends on what going on with the individual
@@Aliciaskinsecret Oh it’s bad. I def need to do something , it just sucks and I am scared .
Thanks for answering these questions for me! There is so much info being pushed about fiber for gut health, and you cleared it up for me.😉
Glad that it helped!
I appreciate your knowledge and your graphic descriptions really help. All of us have to eat and pass waste. Everything you say makes logical sense. Thanks for sharing.
thank you very much for the insights :)
Great topic to cover. I feel I have an argument for this now when I’m criticised. Would love to see a vid like this on Vit C too please :)
+1
this is such a simplistic view on fiber its absolutely insane
How so?
Simplistic? It seemed quite thorough and detailed
@@user-rb3zh6sz1b then u don’t know how to judge web doctor bs versus real information
Valuable information, thank you so much 😊
VERY informative, particularly re diverticulosis/diverticulitis.
Thanks for your Time first of all. This Info is GOLD ! I've being doing keto for 5 years now and have slowly gone 90% carnivore , I did not
intend to ! I was just sick of counting carbs . Thanks again.👍
I'm not ready to give up my coffee yet
I remember those potato chips. Bought some by accident, they were half price. Got sick to my stomach before I ate 1/3 of the bag. That’s when I realized I bought the chips that I had seen a warning about! Thanks for posting
Saw this video just in time! Look forward to watching more from ya 👍
Thank you so much, your info is invaluable and you explain it all so well. In the few months I’ve followed you I have learnt more about my body than in the 47 years of my life so far 🙌🏻
PS: where can I get the t-shirt you’re wearing in the video thumbnail?
PPS: how do you prepare your 50:50 mince? Don’t you lose a lot of the fat when cooking it? 😋😋😋
Don't ever go away anthony. So great to look to you for advice.
Thank you so much, that's really nice of you to say! I will certainly try to stick around as long as people find what I'm saying useful
I admit I was worried about not going as much at first (very little 2 times per weeks). I am 14 days in. But, I am still constantly losing weight even so. It all makes sense now.
