I tried carnivore - felt great, but I was missing fun in food Switched back to sweets - found fun in food, but I felt like shit afterwards. Conclusion is straightforward: go carnivore and find fun somewhere else!
This emotional component definitely rears its head when fasting too. Idk, but for me, there’s not a lot more enjoyable than throwing a ribeye on the grill and going to town 🤙💯
@@andyc7747 Seems to me you Carnivores are quite emotional when defending your diet on the internet. Btw, carnivore guys, try a thing called aerobic exercise. Look it up thank me later. And restore some of that glycogen into your weak muscles.
I had gestational diabetes with my son. The dietician I spoke with gave me a meal plan that would have doubled my carb intake. I threw her plan out the window and cut out 95% of my remaining carbs. I had a very healthy baby boy. I credit that to all of the steak and eggs I had.
Diagnosed with IBS, nothing I could do fixed it. I never liked vegetables but forced myself to make them the mainstay of my diet, was a vegetarian for 10 years. Never improved and I decided I just needed to live with it. Then tried carnivore January 2024. Planned on only doing 30 days. I felt so good I stayed on it 90 days. All my IBS sx gone. Tried vegetables again and sx came back. So I’m back on carnivore. Have added dairy and yes a bit of onion in my burgers and organic ketchup so I’m not 100% carnivore but I feel great. I thought I’d miss the variety but I have zero cravings and my weight is right where I want it
@@drironmom6815 Likewise, I did the carnivore challenge in January for 30 days, and then went off for a month, and came back. I'm now almost 2 months pure lamb, beef, salt, and water diet. I had horrible IBS before and lots of other health issues.
Nice video 😀 I am 53, observed and lived through beginning of food pyramid, did vegetarian, vegan, low calories and dozens of other diets. I remember eating white of eggs instead of yolks, loads of vegetables, whoke grains, you name it. As a result I was gaining weight, was hungry and tired. Now I went from keto to carnivore, much healthier and hapiier and more energy
I never tried egg whites only. It just doesn't seem right without the yolk. I've never tried vegetarian, vegan or even lo-cal. I've never really dieted as such. I did consider some of the fad diets but it was too much trouble. I've never been obese so I guess I wasn't motivated enough. I've never been a huge fan of vegetables anyway. I like my meat. I started Carnivore at the end of last year. I realised I was eating vegetables because I heard they were good for me. I don't think I've ever eaten huge amounts of vegetables. Sometimes I felt I wasn't eating enough "healthy" food because of the lack of vegetables. Then I discovered Carnivore and I don't have to worry so much anymore because I find most vegetables blah (except for chips which I wouldn't count as a healthy vegetable anyway as it's more "junk").
Been carnivore (with some fruit/honey) for about 2.5 months and I've felt great, tons of energy, no bloating or brain fog. A few days ago I tried adding some sourdough bread, immediately afterwards I felt my energy crash and brain fog setting in. I think grains are not suitable for human consumption.
I am whole food plant based and healed from hashimotos this way, but gluten and grains I also avoid, noticed the same thing and evryone i talk to, carnivore or vegan... most grains dont seem to be good for us.
I’ve only been a carnivore for 8 months but the transformation in my heath has been amazing. Was pre-diabetic with an A1C of 5.8 and had a fatty liver on the verge of being NAFLD (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease). This diagnosis really scared me and was my motivation for cutting out most carbs over a period of 3 months and ultimately going full carnivore. My A1C now is 5.2, have lost all my visceral fat, body weight dropped from 226lb to 176lb and waist size has dropped from 41” to 30” on a 6’1” body frame. I eat to satiety everyday (2MAD) and never feel hungry on a diet of eggs, bacon and fatty ruminant red meat (mostly ribeyes).
I have done every diet and have lost lots of weight on all of them. Carnivore is the first diet where my will power doesn’t come into play and everyone’s will power gives out eventually. It’s like finding the holy grail of maintaining healthy weight forever. I also do 2 meals a day and never saw any need to do 1.
Yes!! It's thr first time in my life I do t really need much self control. Even if I have fruit I have 1 grape and I'm satisfied for a few days. Genuinely. I see cake now and it kind of turns me off. It's as if this is how we are meant to be....
I would like to do this but I have low resources (3rd world country). Looking in the internet, I found "poor man carnivore" and was surprised that their recommended food was: organs (liver, pancreas, brain, kidneys, intestines, etc), eggs, chicken, etc. I ate this things when I was younger but I never knew it was a great source of fat and protein. I stopped eating it because you could see everywhere: "Organs are bad for cholesterol just like eggs". I guess I will go back to eat this and monitoring myself to see how it goes.
You will find that going vcarnivore is cheaper actually, because you don't spend on anything else. Calculate how much does it cost 700g of beef. That's your daily expense on food. I bet it's less than what you currently spend.
@@dragons10000 Really and that's it ? Just 70O grams ? That's around 1700 hundred calories . Are you saying to do carnivore cheaply you need to starve yourself ? These numbers sound as shonky as the one animal death per year carnivore eater claims 🐂. Very shady claims from this community.
My god the way your face looks now is so much more defined and conventionally “handsome”! I haven’t watched the video yet just judging by the picture … My face structure improved too with a more ketovore way of living it’s a miracle
I've been carnivore since May 2023. I've cured a lot, including, gout, chronic low back pain, occasional acute low back pain, chronic joint pain, reduced my blood pressure meds, and I've lost 70 lbs. Starting the lion diet to lose another 60 lbs and see if I can cure my Hashimoto's. If I never see another salad, it really won't break my heart, literally. Also, my fasting insulin went from 47.7 to under 10, and my fasting hbA1C is rock solid between 5.0 and 5.5. I'm 65 and feel better than I have since I got out of boot camp.
Hello, my dad has gout and has suffered with it for years. The reason he went vegan is because he says the red meat would always trigger his gout flare-ups. How did you incorporate meat into your diet while having gout, and what is your experience when it comes to what triggered gout for you? I'm afraid he will never try to go back to meat ever again since he's been vegan for 8 years now. He still has flare-ups and still struggles with gout to this day. What would your advice be?
@Loha2005 tell you dad if he's still having flare ups after being vegan for 8 years then clearly it wasn't the red meat. Dr. Berry has some videos about the myths around gout that might be helpful.
@@Christiansstillstrugglehave you looked up Dr. Berry and gout? I’m pretty sure he has a video or two in how meat does not cause gout, it might help with your dad.
@@Christiansstillstruggle most gout is cause by high oxalate intake. Spinach or avocado is more likely to cause a flare up than meat. I don't eat plants or plant derived foods anymore. Fatty red meat is the least inflammatory food you can eat. My flare ups stopped within two weeks and I haven't had one since.
So basically you cut out dairy and felt better? Shocking... The long term data, control trials, etc. all show that meat is bad for us. If someone struggles eating healthy food, they have much deeper issues they need to heal
@@imactuallyHimtho "The long term data, control trials, etc. all show that meat is bad for us." - WRONG! "So basically you cut out dairy and felt better? " - WRONG AGAIN! try harder...
I was vegetarian/vegan for over 18 years, but now I follow a diet that's 90% protein and low-carb. The increase in energy and mental clarity is incredible. No more brain fog, fatigue, depression, or cramps, they're all gone. I'm so glad I made the switch, and I have no plans to go back to what I once thought was healthy. Now, I eat for my brain health, and I can see the amazing results in my body as well.
As long as you are eating animal products you are not healing, but continue polluting your blood and making red blood cells sticking together and causing health problems, because insulin receptors are being blocked. Avoiding the food you are no longer able to digest is not healing.
I would prefer to eat exclusively salads and grains. However, I now eat primarily meat for the last year. These are the things that have improved or went away after changing my diet: less joint pain, neck pain, IBS, depression, blood pressure normal now, iron & ferritin deficiency resolved. I have thicker hair, stronger nails, healthier gums, more defined muscles, no sunburn (never use sunscreen) and weight loss. I am almost 65. I feel well and take no meds.
@@JamesKing2understandinglife because I like the crunch and the homemade Caesar salad dressing. I don’t eat salad anymore since I feel better without it.
Funny that 30 + years as a vegan and never had the health issues you cite . I think it would be best to look to verifiable hard outcomes data like from Pub Med than unverifiable anecdotes from people we don't know online Agreed ? 🤔 The data is their for all to read , if in doubt may I suggest you check out Pub Med 😀? Non animal eaters ( vegans ) are the only dietry group to be in the normal healthy BMI range, much lower rates of heart diseases , cancer and diabetes . Am I doing right at looking at health outcomes data ?
And yet mine went the complete opposite after going off it after 3 years. My resting heart rate dropped down from 60 to 53. Much greater recovery, like night and day. Eating plenty of fiber rich lower glycemic carbs, with little to zero oil aside from whole nuts or seeds. The less fat, but especially saturated fat, the lower insulin needed for the same quantity of carbohydrate. And more fiber lower glycemic ones release it slowly so you can control blood sugar just fine and not dip into hypoglycemia and get hungry.
@@mikafoxx2717 There must be something to the microbiome and how it responds to foods to see different outcomes. The lowered fat so insulin can do its job is a concept that vegans push (intramyocellular lipids - fat inside the muscle cells) that has been debunked 100xs over.
It would be interesting to see an interview with Jorden Peterson's daughter. I think she was the one who had a lot of medical problems and went to a mostly meat diet. She then was able to get off of most or all of her medication.
Are (*) (*) and Botox Carnivore ? She also claims she can't consume any foods bar rumminent animals , yet consumes products made from plants ( Vodka ) It saddens me so many are being deceived by this film flam family .😢
@@julienfroidevaux1143I respectfully disagree with you. Perhaps you should open your mind up to what they say and do. If you’re thinking is in opposition to what Dr. Peterson says and does, you will be the one at fault.
@julienfroidevaux1143, You might be the undisputed king of Non Sequitur. Last month you were saying plant based diets are superior because Carl Lewis could run very fast. Now your saying Mikhaila Peterson is nutritionally deceptive because of plastic surgery. Whatever is wrong with your grey matter it is no small thing. Your behavior displays how bankrupt your arguments are.
I have asthma, two autoimmune conditions (one of which is lupus), IBS, osteoporosis, and pre-diabetes, despite being underweight. I've gone carnivore. As a side effect, the huge masses in my thyroid seem to have shrunk, so small I can barely feel them anymore. Didn't expect that at all, especially since I was on the verge of having my thyroid removed because of it. I'll have an ultrasound in May to hopefully confirm.
My way of eating has varied over the years, according to where I lived, whether I had a great garden, the company I kept, without ideological underpinnings. I inherited a propensity to be slender with a family background of not being presented with desserts, so have no dog in this fight. One of my questions is, has anyone seen any studies evaluating an individual's intestinal tract length comparing it to whether he/she prospered on a vegan or carnivore diet? Given that meat rots and vegetables ferment, it seems there should be a correlation with a short gut/long gut. Of course it would have to be a years-long study, with individuals at the extremes of the bowel length and the dietary preferences to yield meaningful results. Nah, ain't gonna happen in my lifetime...
I was a vegan for 2 years , it took me to end up in the hospital to realize I was eating wrong. My hair , nails and skin were horrible , my energy was horrible and much more ! I’m a vegetarian now , because the smell of meat alone makes nauseous, it is been hard to eat meat again after years of veganism/ vegetarian. Thanks you shining light in nutrition!
Funny, I was a vegetarian, then vegan far longer than you. But when I ate my first bite of meat, it tasted so good. My body was screaming more!! It just felt like it was exactly what my body needed. Four years in and I have not eaten veggies or grains. I eat a bit of fermented veggies and an occassional seasonal, locally grown fruit. I feel so amzing. All my digestive, skin, gum, menstruation issues while eating plants based are completely gone.
I had terrible perimenopausal symptoms. It was hell. I did not want to feel that way for years - it would have ended my marriage to a man I adore. Cutting out grains and most plant foods, and increasing the amount of saturated fat I eat has me back to normal. The mental aspect was the worst (although unpredictable, incredibly painful periods were pretty bad too) because I knew I was being utterly unreasonable, but I couldn't help feeling the way I did, even though I knew I shouldn't. I have noticed a huge difference in my 16 year old daughter too as she has increased her meat intake alongside me and wants meat at every meal. She is a lot more balanced hormonally and mentally as well. Too many people are finding true healing and health by eating the way humans should eat. We don't digest cellulose so we should NOT be eating huge amounts of plant foods. We are not herbivores who have specialised organs for fermenting cellulose to convert into fat. Any mammal that cannot digest cellulose must eat meat to be healthy. This is a biological fact that humans are not exempt from.
@@kcluvznf Yes I have watched a couple of interviews with her. She's so knowledgeable. I just can't believe the difference in how I feel, especially when it's so contrary to popular opinion about what is 'healthy'. I wish more women would be brave enough to experiment with their diet.
Yes!! I struggled with really bad perimenopausal symptoms too, for years - years which I happened to be whole food plant based 🤦🏽♀️. 8 months of very low carb (around 5%) and I’ve seen tremendous improvements, it’s amazing.
@@KimCatVlogs there's a lot more positive research on a vegan or mostly plant based diet then there is on a carnivore diet. There's actually negative research showing an increased risk of all cause mortality on a low carb diet. The fact that there is extremely limited data on peer reviewed studies on a carnivore diet.
@@mrmaxcarter2306 i can respect that 💯 i too went vegan for a year half of that year i dont raw vegan and i looked super unhealthy and was in a bad mood all the time. i eat more carnivore now and felt better than i ever have ✨ gotta do what feels best for you
It’s more than your opinion. You’re convinced to live this otherwise you wouldn’t commit your life to this cause. It’s too bad you’d be demonetized to actually flat out say you think it’s fact. I also understand you’re preserving your professional integrity and practicing good science. It’s a fact that you have helped people and doctors who promote this have saved people’s lives and turned patient’s health outcomes around. Thanks for the brilliant content and having the courage to speak out.
I was a vegetarian for seven years in my 20s. Wanted to avoid all things CAFO but didn't even consider supplementation of vitamin B12, DHA, etc. (I also had a weakness for cute hippie girls which reinforced my nutrient poor eating habits.) As an athlete I lost muscle, lost tooth enamel, became anemic, decimated my hairline, and developed chronic low back pain & severe insomnia. Now in my 50s with nearly two decades of clinical experience as a licensed acupuncturist, I recommend an animal-based diet to all of my patients. Thanks to regular red meat consumption virtually all of my health problems resolved. Still waiting for my hairline to recover...
So you blame the diet for your incompetencies ? Am I mistaken , cause it sounds lije it . If you are one of those anti supplement weirdos who prefer to get supplmented second hand via 🐷🐔🥚🍼🐂( yes farmer Joe supplements his beasts 😂. You can get it naturally via Kombocha ( not a animal ) One serving wil give you 100% of your b12 Rdi 😊
Acupuncturist are nutrionailsts / dietetians r they 😂? What next chiropractors acting like a health authority on food here on YT , oh wait they allready do . Should I also be consulting a plumber on electrical matters ? Or would you advise against that ?
So you blame your ignorance for your failure as a vegetarian ? Am I mistaken ? It didn't occur to you to supplement when you where B12 deficient .? If you are one of those people thats anti supplement you can consume a non animal product like Kombocha 1 serving = 100 % of your RDI for B12 .😊
I went from 4 years of strict veganism to animal based. I found that most vegan protein sources where very goitrogenic for my system and it got me tired, bloated with brain fog. I tried to counteract it with dulse (iodine) and brazil nuts (selenium) but that didn't fix it. Animal based with certain complex carb sources like yams and fruits and avoiding leavy green vegs works best for me.
I agree, the body recomposes itself differently on a carnivore diet even at the same weight, I know it for myself having tested it, had to punch two new holes in my belt, the body becomes much more defined, inflammation decreases, belly fat disappears.
Carnivore has is finally healing my eating disorder. I just ate breakfast for the first time in years. Im hoping this will help me stay on it. I am a sugar addict and keep failing. My thought is to eat more protein to fill me up
Really appreciate you Mike! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. All the best to everyone here working hard to gain back their health! Love from Albuquerque
Great podcast Mike!!! Agree 💯…I’m eating a high protein and fat heavier diet with very low carbs..(keeping them around “30” for the oxalate dumping I’m going through). Thanks to Gabrielle Lyon, Sally k Norton, Shawn Baker.
All they have to do is try it for 30 days.... my wife tried it for a week... said oh wow i can do 2 week. Said oh i can do a month easy now... way of life.... i never thought id see her eating like this. But it does wonders... most vegans are closed minded.
Your channel is one of only a handful of the over 100k subscriber UA-cam channels I subscribe to. Yes you sell products, yes you push the meat based diet, but you have the experience and drive to be a real influencer. You look the part act the part and participate with us as much as time allows. I too tried the plant based diet but only lasted 7 months. Unlike you I never exercise or use any supplementation. However, after 40 years on the carnivore diet it still worked for me. My interests include gardening and my goal is to become an influencer in the farming world. Although skinny and told I look unhealthy I feel great and have zero chronic health issues. What other 55 year old has no grey hair and no back issues ever?
@@RandomHuTaoSimp That's not the question I was asking . Why does this influencer take and sell supplements if carnivore is optimal ? Why are vegans derided for taking supplements yet carnivore remain silent when carnivore do it ?
@@julienfroidevaux1143 meanwhile u have inuit given a life without environmental danger that regularly live to be over 100 years old eating nothing but animal proteins and whale blubber. This is assuming you take out ALL the factors that bring down their total mortality. The vast majority start smoking by 9 years old. They are constantly in danger and regularly die from environmental dangers, infant mortality rate is super high and that drastically brings down that average. This is assuming them live the indigenous ways. They live far longer than any vegan or blue zone. Again that's when they take them and put them on a safer environment but allow them to keep their diet And it's documented time and time again. So your n of 1 falls flat on its face. You also have Maggie white as an example She's mostly carnivore for almost 70 years. She's near 84 and works out in the sub zero temperatures 14 hours a day. Something tells me She's got many more years of living. So your point? Everyone has their own bias, but if you want to make a point, find one stronger
The fixation with plants in American culture and guidelines is crazy, esp the vegans and vegetarians. We never had access to plants the way we do now - advanced monocroping technology (machinary and robots), synthetic fertelizers and pesticides, hybridizing, selective breeding, GMO and DNA analysis, modern distribution and transportation by air, land, sea. The idea that only eating plants or mostly eating plants is superior or safe is just ridiculous to me. For millions and millions years that defined our evolution this was never the way. Meat is what defined our evolution. Factory farming is bad but so is the insane industry to bring us an endless supply of plant foods, especially in regions that require tons of transportation. In the 1800s and 1700s and so on plants were an accent to a meat based diet. Plants added flavors to a meat stew and things like that. The plants of our ancestors were nothing like the plants of today that are engineered, monocroped, hybridized and selectively bred for sweetness or size. The plants of our ancestors also grew in soil that was unlike anything today. Local regenerative farming is the way - plants and animals together. We should do away with insane monocroping of corn and grains just like we should abolish horrible factory animal farming. It should be the consumer dictating these trends.
No need to eat butter if you like pork. Fat to protein ratios can be as good as 2:1, 2,5:1, which is perfect in my eyes. Average supermarket ground beef 5-15% fat will get you nowhere, no wonder many ppl are adding butter to it. If you prefer beef, go for fattier cuts, but still mostly 1:1 ratio there. If you are able to visit your local butcher, you are lucky enough to make a custom 70/30, 60/40. Remember, excess protein turns to glucose, it is louzy energy source, also due to the thermic effect. Either you choose carbs or fat for energy, there is no 3rd option.
Thank you for sharing, Mike. I have been following your work for well over a decade and have always found so much value from the information you share and the guests you interview. I appreciate your viewpoints and how you adjust your diet as needed. I have found a greater sense of health from keeping a lower plant and grain diet, as well.
A famous carnivore, the Steak and Butter Gal (Isabella) snacks on butter. She has done interviews with Dr. Bright (a thyroid and adrenal expert) about butter. Isabella went from a very sickly vegan to a very healthy carnivore. Butter balances hormones and does a myriad of things, e.g., lowering cortisol. Here is Isabella’s channel: ua-cam.com/video/XrmiW-p6ueM/v-deo.htmlsi=wAoH3iK5Ddn-CrqM.
I too discovered carnivore, certainly not for everyone but brilliant for me. Improved my ibs, lost 41/2 stone, stopped sleeping with a cpap mask. Up at 5-6 am every morning full of energy. Now I eat veg and fruit and nuts daily, drink bone broth daily. Ferment veg daily. Biggest impact if I eat too many plants processed carbs or sugar my joints are in pain as they were before. I’m 57 been here for 9 months. Healthier and body size I was when 17. I’m putting on muscle for first time in 20 yrs. all thanks to highly quality meat. The main reason they want you to stop is environmental, which is based as some will soon wake up to our lack of real insight into what causes global warming and what we should do about it. 0:01
I so appreciate your willingness to be transparent about this and not being pushy about trying to force everyone to follow any one agenda. I too am a veteran of the diet roller coaster and trying to figure out what worked best for my body. And I really take issue with anyone who has no idea about me personally my genetics my response to Foods, to try and demand that others follow. So thank you again for being very temperate in your wording, and I totally agree with a higher protein and fat diet helping a lot of health issues. It has for me.
I’ve eaten mostly Greek yogurts, meat plenty of fruit honey and mineral water and I feel amazing mentally and physically, literally at the top of my game
Before I started fasting I too did not eat a lot of meat, I juiced with only vegetables, and filled up with carbs mostly. I had gut problems, I couldn't go anywhere unless I knew there was a washroom at close proximityes, it was a nightmare for me. I've switched my diet and started taking amino acids and fiber, and I started a carnivore diet, and now my gut issues are gone. Thankfully to all the great videos that give us the chance to look at what changes can be made if you research and make a few extra changes in lifestyle.
I have seen the wonderful effects of being on a carnivore diet many times, and while it is simple enough to maintain I find the convenience of the standard American diet overtaking My Lifestyle at times. I always go back to carnivore when I want to not only look healthier, but feel all the wonderful effects as mentioned in the video. Thank you for your content as always, long time viewer and subscriber!
Love and appreciate this sharing. I have found that when I eat mainly animal-based diet I have no digestive issues whatsoever. That was not the case at all when I ate vegetarian then 4 years on a vegan diet. I now listen to my body (it’s an intelligence in and of its own) and it thrives on meat. Again, thank you for your contribution. Keep putting out the great content. 🙏💓

I am sure biased after being 17 years vegetarian. 🙄 Mostly eating carbs...Feeling much better only during "fasting periods". 🤔 Now I know why... It came to me as soon as I discovered keto.👍🙏🏽
I agree with you. I swing between total carbs of under 5g-55g. I was mostly vegetarian for 40 years and plant based for 3. All I got was sicker. IBS out of control, had my gallbladder removed, I was excreting kidney stones left and right, and I was 140 pounds overweight. Going lower carb with no grains, high fat, and meat heavy has really helped over 30 years of IBS, high blood pressure, acne, down 50 pounds, healing my thyroid disease, CAC of 0, and a lifetime of anemia, as well as improving my heart murmur. People can argue if they want, but I'm only tweeking my diet and adding exercise at this point. Eat how you want, but allow me the same grace.
I was a strict Dr. Esselstyn vegan for over two years...At first my health improved, probably because I got rid of junk food, all oils, and ate far less…then it reversed in a dramatic way. My hair thinned, my skin got dry, I had no energy, I became depressed, weak, and food cravings started to go out of control, and more. Then the A-fib started. Now four ablations, and three cardio versions later. After the first of the year I started a near zero carb and meat diet eating mostly ruminant animals, eggs, and some fish. And now my A-fib has calmed done to sinus rhythm, my blood pressure is normal, no more depression, no more dry skin, my hair is growing back, no more cravings, and my gut works great! Veganism is a lie, and in most cases just another cult.
What studies do you have? To follow something without evidence sounds More like a cult to me. There's no Data showing a carnivore diet is healthier than a diet that includes whole foods and plants.
Veganism is absolutely not a lie. I have been Vegan for 8 years, and overcame so many health challenges I faced before Veganism. I've become an athlete for the first time in my life, rock climbing, calisthenics, martial arts, and weight lifting. I've gained over 70 pounds, mostly muscle. There are many reasons it may not have worked for you, that does not mean it is a lie.
I am a meat eater but I will not thumb my nose up at some good, meatless lentil soup or a hearty plate of chickpeas and rice with a side of broccoli. What I am not down with is the new plant-based craze which involves heavily modified ingredients that are, as you say, removed from the food matrix, in order to make vegan 'burgers' and 'chicken'.
I would like to tell you that I love your content. Every time a new video comes up, I'm looking forward to putting it on. I got the impression that you honestly and calmly inform people by citing studies and then giving advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. Not once did I get the impression that you try to push an agenda or persuade anyone to follow your exact life choices.
Hi I used to watch you and your wife sometime ago And I can honestly say you look Younger Also don’t you find the negative opinions are mostly from those who are scared to take their health in their hands Each to their own but don’t knock it until you’ve tried it Or simply suffer with whatever you have going on health wise I’m saying this because I didn’t believe it Until one day I woke up sick of being in pain my feet hips and back So I did myself a plate of eggs bacon sausage and ate till I was full it wasn’t until dinner the next day I realised I’d got that far with one meal Moral of my story I’ve never looked back And that’s with guilt free cheat days Keep doing what you’re doing it’s clearly working 👏👏👏👏👏❤️😊😊😊
I eliminated all processed foods. Vegans relay a lot on processed foods. Once I went to an old school farmer diet all my blood work improved. Once I began walking 10,000 steps a day it got even better. Once I began taking mineral supplements it got even better. Now I don't have joint pain and sleep through the night.
I’d recommend everyone reads Georgia Edes book “Change Your Diet Change Your Mind” especially if you have mood or mental health issues. She details exactly how plant foods, seeds, grains affect mood and brain function and why. People have recovered from issues like Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Depression & Anxiety using this approach. And in my opinion better mood and mental health is the best motivation to stick to this way of eating. Weight loss/leanness is simply a nice by product.
Im plant based because it works for me. I'll never understand the need to throw shade. I hope that reviewer finds peace. I like your content and keep on keeping on.
The concern I have about both carnivore and vegan diets is that neither are sustainable worldwide. I have traveled several times overseas, and it’s very hard to eat those ways in most places, especially India, where the cow is sacred. I have to eat what the locals eat. It probably boils down to what does your body best: some thrive on a plant-dominant diet, others thrive on a meat-dominate diet, others thrive on a starch-based diet. I’m still trying to find out what’s best for me.
Life eats life! Eat to be optimal. Im feeling amazing at 38. Better than I did in my 20s. Want to work out now. Working my way to my first pull up. Feeling great. This is an authentic video. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your day!
Don't metabolically abuse your body for decades like I have.... Carnivore diet is the most effective therapeutic for me. No move prescription meds... I am free.😊
Eating additional fat - especially butter - can be incredibly healing to those with hormonal issues. It's a game changer for women in particular. It's also important in the early days of keto/carnivore to eat sufficient fat, in order to avoid constipation, and that can mean very different amounts to different people. Perhaps you should have a chat with Dr Elizabeth Bright? She's very interesting to listen to.😊
Great video! This is what I needed to hear! I needed to be reminded to get back to a heavier meat based diet with some veggies. It definitely affects moods having too many carbs. Thank you for providing unbiased video on best diet/food choices! You Rock!
I do eat limited vegtables and eat fruits sparingly. I started avoiding plant foods that make me cough (meat & fish never do that). Formerly, I took Vit C before meals, & NAC twice a day with fairly good control of the cough. But why control what you can avoid! Great video. Between avoiding anti nutrients, histamine releasing plant foods, and eating mostly carnivore, I think I've got it. I do think 100% carnivore would be too much of a drudge. Thanks, Mike!
Since I’ve switched to a more animal based diet I’ve noticed: 1. Improved energy levels, 2. Less appetite/ cravings, 3. No binge-eating, 4. Not gassy anymore. My cutting diet is so much more sustainable now since I don’t crave sweets anymore. My diet is mainly: 1. Rib-eye steaks, 2. Wild caught sock-eye salmon, 3. Ground beef, 4. Hamburgers, 5. Raw cheese, 6. Raw milk, 7. Raw honey, 8. Raw butter, 9. Greek yoghurt, 10. Fruits and 11. Eggs. Before my workouts I still eat high glycemic carbs like rice, bread, honey, bananas, etc. but the rest of the day it’s mainly meat, eggs, raw dairy and fruits (with lower glycemic index). I tried the full strict carnivore diet, but it didn’t work for me since I workout very intensely and I barely had any energy in the gym and I couldn’t get any pumps.
My blood work and health is great on plant based diet, I'm here because my weight is not good it keeps going up so quitting carbs to see if it changes. I have lost 5 lbs in water this week which is good because I couldn't even do that on plants.
Truth! Thanks, MM. Similar story: I did vegetarian in my late 20s, then spent decades trying to eat less meat. The day I stopped the heart-healthy whole grains for breakfast was the day I stopped being desperately hungry by by 1030 am and stopped the nuclear fart1ng by 2 pm. Decades of grumpy gut - gone. Autoimmune hyperthyroidism hasn't come back. Mood more stable. Almost 6 years keto. A few years ago I flipped the proportions of meat and vege. Now more meat, green stuff to make the plate look pretty. I love a big salad from my garden, but it doesn't fill me up. Age 63 & more active than ever and building muscle! Brain much better; I spend my spare time reading the scientific literature and advocating for low carb. The evidence is IN.
I'd venture to say that there are very very few health conscious people who have not been plant based or vegan for a long part of their lives. Everyone who veers away from that to a more meat based diet comes to see the shortcomings of being plant based. I'm coming full circle to staying away from anything that is pushed as a "healthy food". "Health food" for me keeps me hungry, and meat and dairy keeps me full. Interestingly, I eat a lot less food when I eat meat and dairy...I wonder who doesn't want me eating ultra satiating foods that don't trigger over eating? huh.
Is there a difference between butter, tallow or simply "fat off the bone" in terms of whatever risk there is of "overconsumption"? How would you do a high fat carnivore diet if you can't get fatty enough meat? Lots of people do suggest either adding butter or tallow but aren't both of those sources so called separated from the food matrix?
They are both saturated fats. Same as lard or duck fat, all beneficials. There is a ratio protein/fat (higher in fat) that needs to be tweaked, on an individual basis. The risk of overconsumption of those fats will be sudden runs to the bathroom...
First thing I noticed when I went on carnivore diet - I stopped waking up in the morning and immediately farting enough to drive Pembroke B power plant for a week! After that energy levels went right up and bathroom trips reduced to between one and two times a day. Now after several months on carnivore, I know pretty quick if I have a inadvertently eaten too many carbs (usually in the form of a few teaspoons of protein yogurt), because the morning and bathroom routines start to regress.
Our ancestors ate both plants and meat, i think the difference is quality. So much of our foods today are processed. Regardless if you like meat or plant based diets, quality is key!
@@alxdava2004 and roots are plant based, so I'm not wrong. Also it depends on what ancestors we are talking about. I'm Irish so many of my ancestors survived on potatoes and whatever was available. Not sure what you're on about. Have a good day.
I have alpha gal syndrome from a tick bite, so I went vegan 13 years ago. My blood work is perfect. My doctor said I’m one of the healthiest patients he has ever had. I don’t eat crap like chips and Oreos though. I eat real food. I’m a size 2 and feel amazing. It’s ALMOST like people have different needs for their bodies or something. Go figure. 🤷♀️ I’ve done vegan keto as well and did great on that too. High fat, low carb works. High carb, low fat works. The trick is to not combine fats and carbs.
You are not biased but experienced in what is the proper human diet. Happy to see you stopped the heavy plant based diet. And wine is plant based sugar water, which is plant based. Happy to see you dropped that too! Water is best. Carnivore is optimal! I have been carnivore for 1 year 6 months and loving it!
Pure carnivore is the ultimate elimination and nutrient rich diet, but many of us low carb carnivores add in fermented foods (chocolate, cheese, sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt, ACV, ...) and vegs and fruit to supply polyphenols, fiber to fuel the microbiome. This can be a trick that depends on gut health. See Gundry's books: Unlocking the Keto Code, Gut Check.
Going Ketovore has changed/saved my life at age 60! Physical and mental symptoms disappearing...body curves returning. 😊 And I rejected S.A.D. 15 years ago for a traditional diet. But it was greatly upping red/meat and lowering plants that has made all the difference!!! Consuming animal fats has been pure joy...healing my endocrine system that has been broken for decades from high carb/low animal fat. BONUS...drug addictions falling away...alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, nuts, chips, sugar, etc...
i went through a stage where i was juicing, sprouting, baking from scratch, i got arthritis, lost my gall bladder due to gallstones i have 2 pages of ailments that went away in 6 months going carnivore! .. i gave away all the juicers I had and I am now carnivore! made me healthier and happier and i have time to watch carnivore videos:)
Not surprised you ended up going carnivore. Carnivore is like the final boss level of diet. It’s the pinnacle of mastering your health. So you being the self improvement guru that you are, it makes sense you’d go carnivore.
Been on ketovore since Jan 1, down 68lbs, my IBS is mostly gone, I still have issues if I eat excess carbs or veggies. My acid reflux is tolerable now with occasional need for an antacid, whereas before I was taking Lansoprazole daily, and prior to that Zantac before it was removed from the market. Down from a 42 pant size to 36, and down from a 4/5x shirt to a 2/3x. It's incredible, and I have had my moments where I'll eat something I shouldn't or an excess of something like cheese, but I've been able to stick to what I should be eating.
I am on carnivore diet and it is the best diet I ever tried. I counted how many benefits I got from this and it was total of 18! 18 benefits from just changing diet! 😊 The most important thing is that I just feel so comfortable and healthy.
I will be 63. I am mainly on keto diet, but I do have potatoes and carrots a few times a week, and oranges and bananas a few times a month. Well one bag of oranges and one bunch of bananas.
I am also a gardener but i refrain from lots of vegetables because is only my bf who eats tomatoes, the kids lettuce and i do a lot of cilantro. I realized cucumbers didnt want to be eaten from the thorns, parsinps smell like gas etc.
Good vid ! I was organic vegetarian for over 10 years and it dam near ruined my health! Low fat vegetarian because that's what was being pushed ! Never again ! Leads to muscle wasting, brain malnutrition "dementia", bone mass loss, hormone disruption. So I switched to a animal foods based diet and after 3 months I started feeling better and getting my strength back and now after 4 years on animal based diet I'm feeling fantastic, look much better, face skin way better, don't get sick anymore and building muscle back ! So don't preach to me about the crappy veganism diets, I did it and it sucks for long term health.
3:00 I would also add that switching over to a carnivore based diet means incorporating more solid foods that will not run right through you like plants do. Because of the high fiber, more plant based diets can cause bloating and people to be gassy.
Don't throw out eggshells Crush them up a little bit and mix them with the soil in your garden or sit them on top of the soil to deter caterpillars etc
The only thing i realized from all these diets, is that everybody reacts differently and what works for one won't for another you just need to give it a gon for few months and see how it works for you.
I tried carnivore - felt great, but I was missing fun in food
Switched back to sweets - found fun in food, but I felt like shit afterwards.
Conclusion is straightforward: go carnivore and find fun somewhere else!
@@andyc7747That’s bc we get our food from a store where we don’t have to worry about where it came from.

@@davebrewer7170 If you are lazy POS carbs are entertainment. If you actually use your God given muscles as a real man should, carbs are nutrition.
I had gestational diabetes with my son. The dietician I spoke with gave me a meal plan that would have doubled my carb intake. I threw her plan out the window and cut out 95% of my remaining carbs. I had a very healthy baby boy. I credit that to all of the steak and eggs I had.
mainstream nutritionists give out horrible advice
Every human being is born in ketosis. You did good
Love that! Well done you for having the courage to do what you knew to be the best thing for you and not what those ‘experts’ were pushing
Diagnosed with IBS, nothing I could do fixed it. I never liked vegetables but forced myself to make them the mainstay of my diet, was a vegetarian for 10 years. Never improved and I decided I just needed to live with it.
Then tried carnivore January 2024. Planned on only doing 30 days. I felt so good I stayed on it 90 days. All my IBS sx gone. Tried vegetables again and sx came back. So I’m back on carnivore. Have added dairy and yes a bit of onion in my burgers and organic ketchup so I’m not 100% carnivore but I feel great.
I thought I’d miss the variety but I have zero cravings and my weight is right where I want it
@@drironmom6815 Likewise, I did the carnivore challenge in January for 30 days, and then went off for a month, and came back. I'm now almost 2 months pure lamb, beef, salt, and water diet. I had horrible IBS before and lots of other health issues.
Nice video 😀
I am 53, observed and lived through beginning of food pyramid, did vegetarian, vegan, low calories and dozens of other diets. I remember eating white of eggs instead of yolks, loads of vegetables, whoke grains, you name it.
As a result I was gaining weight, was hungry and tired. Now I went from keto to carnivore, much healthier and hapiier and more energy
Whoke grains 😂😂 you nailed that one 😅
I know ! 😅. I tried the food piramid back in 94. gaind 10 pounds in a month.😂
I never tried egg whites only. It just doesn't seem right without the yolk. I've never tried vegetarian, vegan or even lo-cal. I've never really dieted as such. I did consider some of the fad diets but it was too much trouble. I've never been obese so I guess I wasn't motivated enough. I've never been a huge fan of vegetables anyway. I like my meat. I started Carnivore at the end of last year. I realised I was eating vegetables because I heard they were good for me. I don't think I've ever eaten huge amounts of vegetables. Sometimes I felt I wasn't eating enough "healthy" food because of the lack of vegetables. Then I discovered Carnivore and I don't have to worry so much anymore because I find most vegetables blah (except for chips which I wouldn't count as a healthy vegetable anyway as it's more "junk").
Been carnivore (with some fruit/honey) for about 2.5 months and I've felt great, tons of energy, no bloating or brain fog. A few days ago I tried adding some sourdough bread, immediately afterwards I felt my energy crash and brain fog setting in. I think grains are not suitable for human consumption.
Same. It’s a shame though because I adore sourdough bread!!
Yeah, having bacon and eggs with an organic rye sourdough covered in grass fed butter is my favorite breakfast.
I am whole food plant based and healed from hashimotos this way, but gluten and grains I also avoid, noticed the same thing and evryone i talk to, carnivore or vegan... most grains dont seem to be good for us.
I’ve only been a carnivore for 8 months but the transformation in my heath has been amazing. Was pre-diabetic with an A1C of 5.8 and had a fatty liver on the verge of being NAFLD (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease). This diagnosis really scared me and was my motivation for cutting out most carbs over a period of 3 months and ultimately going full carnivore. My A1C now is 5.2, have lost all my visceral fat, body weight dropped from 226lb to 176lb and waist size has dropped from 41” to 30” on a 6’1” body frame. I eat to satiety everyday (2MAD) and never feel hungry on a diet of eggs, bacon and fatty ruminant red meat (mostly ribeyes).
I have done every diet and have lost lots of weight on all of them. Carnivore is the first diet where my will power doesn’t come into play and everyone’s will power gives out eventually. It’s like finding the holy grail of maintaining healthy weight forever. I also do 2 meals a day and never saw any need to do 1.
Yes!! It's thr first time in my life I do t really need much self control. Even if I have fruit I have 1 grape and I'm satisfied for a few days. Genuinely. I see cake now and it kind of turns me off. It's as if this is how we are meant to be....
Been searching too. Finally found the Carnivore diet 2 years ago.
I would like to do this but I have low resources (3rd world country). Looking in the internet, I found "poor man carnivore" and was surprised that their recommended food was: organs (liver, pancreas, brain, kidneys, intestines, etc), eggs, chicken, etc. I ate this things when I was younger but I never knew it was a great source of fat and protein. I stopped eating it because you could see everywhere: "Organs are bad for cholesterol just like eggs".
I guess I will go back to eat this and monitoring myself to see how it goes.
Organ meat contain a lot of nutrients and minerals, if you like eating them that's great!
Best wishes!
Do your research on good vs bad cholesterol as well.
You will find that going vcarnivore is cheaper actually, because you don't spend on anything else.
Calculate how much does it cost 700g of beef. That's your daily expense on food. I bet it's less than what you currently spend.

I've been carnivore since May 2023. I've cured a lot, including, gout, chronic low back pain, occasional acute low back pain, chronic joint pain, reduced my blood pressure meds, and I've lost 70 lbs. Starting the lion diet to lose another 60 lbs and see if I can cure my Hashimoto's. If I never see another salad, it really won't break my heart, literally. Also, my fasting insulin went from 47.7 to under 10, and my fasting hbA1C is rock solid between 5.0 and 5.5. I'm 65 and feel better than I have since I got out of boot camp.
Hello, my dad has gout and has suffered with it for years. The reason he went vegan is because he says the red meat would always trigger his gout flare-ups. How did you incorporate meat into your diet while having gout, and what is your experience when it comes to what triggered gout for you? I'm afraid he will never try to go back to meat ever again since he's been vegan for 8 years now. He still has flare-ups and still struggles with gout to this day. What would your advice be?
@@Christiansstillstruggle I would encourage you to check out Dr.Ken Berry videos on gout!
@Loha2005 tell you dad if he's still having flare ups after being vegan for 8 years then clearly it wasn't the red meat. Dr. Berry has some videos about the myths around gout that might be helpful.
@@Christiansstillstrugglehave you looked up Dr. Berry and gout? I’m pretty sure he has a video or two in how meat does not cause gout, it might help with your dad.
@@Christiansstillstruggle most gout is cause by high oxalate intake. Spinach or avocado is more likely to cause a flare up than meat. I don't eat plants or plant derived foods anymore.

As long as you are eating animal products you are not healing, but continue polluting your blood and making red blood cells sticking together and causing health problems, because insulin receptors are being blocked. Avoiding the food you are no longer able to digest is not healing.
I would prefer to eat exclusively salads and grains. However, I now eat primarily meat for the last year. These are the things that have improved or went away after changing my diet: less joint pain, neck pain, IBS, depression, blood pressure normal now, iron & ferritin deficiency resolved. I have thicker hair, stronger nails, healthier gums, more defined muscles, no sunburn (never use sunscreen) and weight loss. I am almost 65. I feel well and take no meds.

I watch my HRV (heart rate variability) on my Fitbit. Huge difference (positive) when eating a meat heavy diet.
And yet mine went the complete opposite after going off it after 3 years. My resting heart rate dropped down from 60 to 53. Much greater recovery, like night and day. Eating plenty of fiber rich lower glycemic carbs, with little to zero oil aside from whole nuts or seeds. The less fat, but especially saturated fat, the lower insulin needed for the same quantity of carbohydrate. And more fiber lower glycemic ones release it slowly so you can control blood sugar just fine and not dip into hypoglycemia and get hungry.
@@mikafoxx2717 There must be something to the microbiome and how it responds to foods to see different outcomes.
The lowered fat so insulin can do its job is a concept that vegans push (intramyocellular lipids - fat inside the muscle cells) that has been debunked 100xs over.
It would be interesting to see an interview with Jorden Peterson's daughter. I think she was the one who had a lot of medical problems and went to a mostly meat diet. She then was able to get off of most or all of her medication.

My way of eating has varied over the years, according to where I lived, whether I had a great garden, the company I kept, without ideological underpinnings. I inherited a propensity to be slender with a family background of not being presented with desserts, so have no dog in this fight.
One of my questions is, has anyone seen any studies evaluating an individual's intestinal tract length comparing it to whether he/she prospered on a vegan or carnivore diet? Given that meat rots and vegetables ferment, it seems there should be a correlation with a short gut/long gut. Of course it would have to be a years-long study, with individuals at the extremes of the bowel length and the dietary preferences to yield meaningful results.
Nah, ain't gonna happen in my lifetime...
I was a vegan for 2 years , it took me to end up in the hospital to realize I was eating wrong. My hair , nails and skin were horrible , my energy was horrible and much more ! I’m a vegetarian now , because the smell of meat alone makes nauseous, it is been hard to eat meat again after years of veganism/ vegetarian. Thanks you shining light in nutrition!
Funny, I was a vegetarian, then vegan far longer than you. But when I ate my first bite of meat, it tasted so good. My body was screaming more!! It just felt like it was exactly what my body needed. Four years in and I have not eaten veggies or grains. I eat a bit of fermented veggies and an occassional seasonal, locally grown fruit. I feel so amzing. All my digestive, skin, gum, menstruation issues while eating plants based are completely gone.
Keto and carnivore are the best. My hubby and I are 80% carnivore. We love it. We are so healthy and feel amazing.
I had terrible perimenopausal symptoms. It was hell. I did not want to feel that way for years - it would have ended my marriage to a man I adore. Cutting out grains and most plant foods, and increasing the amount of saturated fat I eat has me back to normal. The mental aspect was the worst (although unpredictable, incredibly painful periods were pretty bad too) because I knew I was being utterly unreasonable, but I couldn't help feeling the way I did, even though I knew I shouldn't.
I have noticed a huge difference in my 16 year old daughter too as she has increased her meat intake alongside me and wants meat at every meal. She is a lot more balanced hormonally and mentally as well.
Too many people are finding true healing and health by eating the way humans should eat. We don't digest cellulose so we should NOT be eating huge amounts of plant foods. We are not herbivores who have specialised organs for fermenting cellulose to convert into fat. Any mammal that cannot digest cellulose must eat meat to be healthy. This is a biological fact that humans are not exempt from.

I was a vegetarian for seven years in my 20s. Wanted to avoid all things CAFO but didn't even consider supplementation of vitamin B12, DHA, etc. (I also had a weakness for cute hippie girls which reinforced my nutrient poor eating habits.) As an athlete I lost muscle, lost tooth enamel, became anemic, decimated my hairline, and developed chronic low back pain & severe insomnia.
Now in my 50s with nearly two decades of clinical experience as a licensed acupuncturist, I recommend an animal-based diet to all of my patients. Thanks to regular red meat consumption virtually all of my health problems resolved. Still waiting for my hairline to recover...
Hippie chicks...been there, ate that, got the malnourishment :/
So you blame the diet for your incompetencies ?
Am I mistaken , cause it sounds lije it .
If you are one of those anti supplement weirdos who prefer to get supplmented second hand via 🐷🐔🥚🍼🐂( yes farmer Joe supplements his beasts 😂.
You can get it naturally via Kombocha ( not a animal )
One serving wil give you 100% of your b12 Rdi 😊

What next chiropractors acting like a health authority on food here on YT , oh wait they allready do .
Should I also be consulting a plumber on electrical matters ?
Or would you advise against that ?
So you blame your ignorance for your failure as a vegetarian ?
Am I mistaken ?
It didn't occur to you to supplement when you where B12 deficient .?
If you are one of those people thats anti supplement you can consume a non animal product like Kombocha 1 serving = 100 % of your RDI for B12 .😊

I went from 4 years of strict veganism to animal based. I found that most vegan protein sources where very goitrogenic for my system and it got me tired, bloated with brain fog. I tried to counteract it with dulse (iodine) and brazil nuts (selenium) but that didn't fix it. Animal based with certain complex carb sources like yams and fruits and avoiding leavy green vegs works best for me.
That comment was pure projection. Keep doing what you’re doing, Mike!
I agree, the body recomposes itself differently on a carnivore diet even at the same weight, I know it for myself having tested it, had to punch two new holes in my belt, the body becomes much more defined, inflammation decreases, belly fat disappears.
Same!!! I'm at the fourth hole on my belt and I couldn't get into the first hole at some point.
Carnivore has is finally healing my eating disorder. I just ate breakfast for the first time in years. Im hoping this will help me stay on it. I am a sugar addict and keep failing. My thought is to eat more protein to fill me up
Make sure you get enough fat too, that’s the most filling and where you’ll get your energy from if you’re not eating carbs. Best to you!!
More fat. Fat is your friend.
Really appreciate you Mike! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. All the best to everyone here working hard to gain back their health! Love from Albuquerque

Love the show brother, keep it up 👊
All they have to do is try it for 30 days.... my wife tried it for a week... said oh wow i can do 2 week. Said oh i can do a month easy now... way of life.... i never thought id see her eating like this. But it does wonders... most vegans are closed minded.
Your channel is one of only a handful of the over 100k subscriber UA-cam channels I subscribe to. Yes you sell products, yes you push the meat based diet, but you have the experience and drive to be a real influencer. You look the part act the part and participate with us as much as time allows. I too tried the plant based diet but only lasted 7 months. Unlike you I never exercise or use any supplementation. However, after 40 years on the carnivore diet it still worked for me. My interests include gardening and my goal is to become an influencer in the farming world. Although skinny and told I look unhealthy I feel great and have zero chronic health issues. What other 55 year old has no grey hair and no back issues ever?
If meat is optimal why is he selling supplements ?
I thought it was only vegans that needed to be supplemented ?😂
@@julienfroidevaux1143 I'm 95% carnivore with some ferments and I never supplement. It's already been years.
Dr Ellsworth Warlhem a near life long vegan was preforming surgeries in his 90's and died at 106 .
What carnivore is capable of such amazing feats ? 🤔
@@RandomHuTaoSimp That's not the question I was asking .
Why does this influencer take and sell supplements if carnivore is optimal ?
Why are vegans derided for taking supplements yet carnivore remain silent when carnivore do it ?
@@julienfroidevaux1143 meanwhile u have inuit given a life without environmental danger that regularly live to be over 100 years old eating nothing but animal proteins and whale blubber. This is assuming you take out ALL the factors that bring down their total mortality. The vast majority start smoking by 9 years old. They are constantly in danger and regularly die from environmental dangers, infant mortality rate is super high and that drastically brings down that average. This is assuming them live the indigenous ways. They live far longer than any vegan or blue zone. Again that's when they take them and put them on a safer environment but allow them to keep their diet
And it's documented time and time again. So your n of 1 falls flat on its face. You also have Maggie white as an example
She's mostly carnivore for almost 70 years. She's near 84 and works out in the sub zero temperatures 14 hours a day. Something tells me She's got many more years of living. So your point? Everyone has their own bias, but if you want to make a point, find one stronger
The fixation with plants in American culture and guidelines is crazy, esp the vegans and vegetarians. We never had access to plants the way we do now - advanced monocroping technology (machinary and robots), synthetic fertelizers and pesticides, hybridizing, selective breeding, GMO and DNA analysis, modern distribution and transportation by air, land, sea. The idea that only eating plants or mostly eating plants is superior or safe is just ridiculous to me. For millions and millions years that defined our evolution this was never the way. Meat is what defined our evolution. Factory farming is bad but so is the insane industry to bring us an endless supply of plant foods, especially in regions that require tons of transportation. In the 1800s and 1700s and so on plants were an accent to a meat based diet. Plants added flavors to a meat stew and things like that. The plants of our ancestors were nothing like the plants of today that are engineered, monocroped, hybridized and selectively bred for sweetness or size. The plants of our ancestors also grew in soil that was unlike anything today. Local regenerative farming is the way - plants and animals together. We should do away with insane monocroping of corn and grains just like we should abolish horrible factory animal farming. It should be the consumer dictating these trends.
Very true however agriculture subsistence developed among humans between 10,000-8,000 years ago. We’ve been omnivorous for a long time.
I always recommend your videos to people simply because you always back them up with the studies.
No need to eat butter if you like pork. Fat to protein ratios can be as good as 2:1, 2,5:1, which is perfect in my eyes. Average supermarket ground beef 5-15% fat will get you nowhere, no wonder many ppl are adding butter to it. If you prefer beef, go for fattier cuts, but still mostly 1:1 ratio there. If you are able to visit your local butcher, you are lucky enough to make a custom 70/30, 60/40.
Remember, excess protein turns to glucose, it is louzy energy source, also due to the thermic effect. Either you choose carbs or fat for energy, there is no 3rd option.
Thank you for sharing, Mike. I have been following your work for well over a decade and have always found so much value from the information you share and the guests you interview. I appreciate your viewpoints and how you adjust your diet as needed. I have found a greater sense of health from keeping a lower plant and grain diet, as well.
A famous carnivore, the Steak and Butter Gal (Isabella) snacks on butter. She has done interviews with Dr. Bright (a thyroid and adrenal expert) about butter.
Isabella went from a very sickly vegan to a very healthy carnivore. Butter balances hormones and does a myriad of things, e.g., lowering cortisol.
Here is Isabella’s channel: ua-cam.com/video/XrmiW-p6ueM/v-deo.htmlsi=wAoH3iK5Ddn-CrqM.
I too discovered carnivore, certainly not for everyone but brilliant for me. Improved my ibs, lost 41/2 stone, stopped sleeping with a cpap mask. Up at 5-6 am every morning full of energy. Now I eat veg and fruit and nuts daily, drink bone broth daily. Ferment veg daily. Biggest impact if I eat too many plants processed carbs or sugar my joints are in pain as they were before. I’m 57 been here for 9 months. Healthier and body size I was when 17. I’m putting on muscle for first time in 20 yrs. all thanks to highly quality meat. The main reason they want you to stop is environmental, which is based as some will soon wake up to our lack of real insight into what causes global warming and what we should do about it. 0:01
I started eating keto 3 years ago and now mostly carnivore and I feel sooo good!❤
Hey man you are a true health guy. Love your opinions- you don't cherry pick anything. Keep the good info coming. Peace
I so appreciate your willingness to be transparent about this and not being pushy about trying to force everyone to follow any one agenda. I too am a veteran of the diet roller coaster and trying to figure out what worked best for my body. And I really take issue with anyone who has no idea about me personally my genetics my response to Foods, to try and demand that others follow. So thank you again for being very temperate in your wording, and I totally agree with a higher protein and fat diet helping a lot of health issues. It has for me.
I’ve eaten mostly Greek yogurts, meat plenty of fruit honey and mineral water and I feel amazing mentally and physically, literally at the top of my game
Before I started fasting I too did not eat a lot of meat, I juiced with only vegetables, and filled up with carbs mostly. I had gut problems, I couldn't go anywhere unless I knew there was a washroom at close proximityes, it was a nightmare for me. I've switched my diet and started taking amino acids and fiber, and I started a carnivore diet, and now my gut issues are gone. Thankfully to all the great videos that give us the chance to look at what changes can be made if you research and make a few extra changes in lifestyle.
I have seen the wonderful effects of being on a carnivore diet many times, and while it is simple enough to maintain I find the convenience of the standard American diet overtaking My Lifestyle at times. I always go back to carnivore when I want to not only look healthier, but feel all the wonderful effects as mentioned in the video. Thank you for your content as always, long time viewer and subscriber!
Love and appreciate this sharing. I have found that when I eat mainly animal-based diet I have no digestive issues whatsoever. That was not the case at all when I ate vegetarian then 4 years on a vegan diet. I now listen to my body (it’s an intelligence in and of its own) and it thrives on meat. Again, thank you for your contribution. Keep putting out the great content. 🙏💓
I am sure biased after being 17 years vegetarian. 🙄 Mostly eating carbs...Feeling much better only during "fasting periods". 🤔 Now I know why...
It came to me as soon as I discovered keto.👍🙏🏽
I agree with you. I swing between total carbs of under 5g-55g. I was mostly vegetarian for 40 years and plant based for 3. All I got was sicker. IBS out of control, had my gallbladder removed, I was excreting kidney stones left and right, and I was 140 pounds overweight. Going lower carb with no grains, high fat, and meat heavy has really helped over 30 years of IBS, high blood pressure, acne, down 50 pounds, healing my thyroid disease, CAC of 0, and a lifetime of anemia, as well as improving my heart murmur. People can argue if they want, but I'm only tweeking my diet and adding exercise at this point. Eat how you want, but allow me the same grace.
I was a strict Dr. Esselstyn vegan for over two years...At first my health improved, probably because I got rid of junk food, all oils, and ate far less…then it reversed in a dramatic way. My hair thinned, my skin got dry, I had no energy, I became depressed, weak, and food cravings started to go out of control, and more. Then the A-fib started. Now four ablations, and three cardio versions later. After the first of the year I started a near zero carb and meat diet eating mostly ruminant animals, eggs, and some fish. And now my A-fib has calmed done to sinus rhythm, my blood pressure is normal, no more depression, no more dry skin, my hair is growing back, no more cravings, and my gut works great! Veganism is a lie, and in most cases just another cult.
What studies do you have? To follow something without evidence sounds More like a cult to me. There's no Data showing a carnivore diet is healthier than a diet that includes whole foods and plants.
Hmmmm
Veganism is absolutely not a lie. I have been Vegan for 8 years, and overcame so many health challenges I faced before Veganism. I've become an athlete for the first time in my life, rock climbing, calisthenics, martial arts, and weight lifting. I've gained over 70 pounds, mostly muscle. There are many reasons it may not have worked for you, that does not mean it is a lie.
At least you admit that Keto is a cult. But there's no denying the evidence that those that eat mostly plants live longer. I do wonder what you ate?
So all of Dr. Esselstyn research is a lie?
I am a meat eater but I will not thumb my nose up at some good, meatless lentil soup or a hearty plate of chickpeas and rice with a side of broccoli. What I am not down with is the new plant-based craze which involves heavily modified ingredients that are, as you say, removed from the food matrix, in order to make vegan 'burgers' and 'chicken'.
love your a zov na zi flag
Too bad you're brainwashed in other areas though
I would like to tell you that I love your content. Every time a new video comes up, I'm looking forward to putting it on.
I got the impression that you honestly and calmly inform people by citing studies and then giving advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle.
Not once did I get the impression that you try to push an agenda or persuade anyone to follow your exact life choices.
Hi I used to watch you and your wife sometime ago And I can honestly say you look Younger Also don’t you find the negative opinions are mostly from those who are scared to take their health in their hands Each to their own but don’t knock it until you’ve tried it Or simply suffer with whatever you have going on health wise I’m saying this because I didn’t believe it Until one day I woke up sick of being in pain my feet hips and back So I did myself a plate of eggs bacon sausage and ate till I was full it wasn’t until dinner the next day I realised I’d got that far with one meal Moral of my story I’ve never looked back And that’s with guilt free cheat days Keep doing what you’re doing it’s clearly working 👏👏👏👏👏❤️😊😊😊
I eliminated all processed foods. Vegans relay a lot on processed foods. Once I went to an old school farmer diet all my blood work improved. Once I began walking 10,000 steps a day it got even better. Once I began taking mineral supplements it got even better. Now I don't have joint pain and sleep through the night.
I’d recommend everyone reads Georgia Edes book “Change Your Diet Change Your Mind” especially if you have mood or mental health issues. She details exactly how plant foods, seeds, grains affect mood and brain function and why. People have recovered from issues like Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Depression & Anxiety using this approach. And in my opinion better mood and mental health is the best motivation to stick to this way of eating. Weight loss/leanness is simply a nice by product.
Im plant based because it works for me. I'll never understand the need to throw shade. I hope that reviewer finds peace. I like your content and keep on keeping on.
The concern I have about both carnivore and vegan diets is that neither are sustainable worldwide. I have traveled several times overseas, and it’s very hard to eat those ways in most places, especially India, where the cow is sacred. I have to eat what the locals eat. It probably boils down to what does your body best: some thrive on a plant-dominant diet, others thrive on a meat-dominate diet, others thrive on a starch-based diet. I’m still trying to find out what’s best for me.
Fun fact, diabetes rates are higher in countries like India and China, vs the US. Carb rich diet due to vegetables...
It’s hard eating clean and right while traveling in airports and seeing family. Food is such a comfort thing for people
Life eats life! Eat to be optimal. Im feeling amazing at 38. Better than I did in my 20s. Want to work out now. Working my way to my first pull up. Feeling great. This is an authentic video. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your day!
What about herbivirious animals that don't eat other animals ?
Is that death ?
Don't metabolically abuse your body for decades like I have....
Carnivore diet is the most effective therapeutic for me.
No move prescription meds...
I am free.😊
yes YES! how YOU feel. what's good for YOU! there is no one diet that suits everyone.
Eating additional fat - especially butter - can be incredibly healing to those with hormonal issues. It's a game changer for women in particular. It's also important in the early days of keto/carnivore to eat sufficient fat, in order to avoid constipation, and that can mean very different amounts to different people. Perhaps you should have a chat with Dr Elizabeth Bright? She's very interesting to listen to.😊
Great video! This is what I needed to hear! I needed to be reminded to get back to a heavier meat based diet with some veggies. It definitely affects moods having too many carbs. Thank you for providing unbiased video on best diet/food choices! You Rock!
I do eat limited vegtables and eat fruits sparingly. I started avoiding plant foods that make me cough (meat & fish never do that). Formerly, I took Vit C before meals, & NAC twice a day with fairly good control of the cough. But why control what you can avoid! Great video. Between avoiding anti nutrients, histamine releasing plant foods, and eating mostly carnivore, I think I've got it. I do think 100% carnivore would be too much of a drudge. Thanks, Mike!
So perfect that the person that took the time to send you that message complaining on iTunes was actually named "Karen".
Love hearing people’s stories. Accolades for sharing. Your words of wisdom might persuade a few people to try this healing way of eat.
Thank you for sharing your story. Your podcast is great and each one of your shows shows the passion you have for eating this way.
Since I’ve switched to a more animal based diet I’ve noticed: 1. Improved energy levels, 2. Less appetite/ cravings, 3. No binge-eating, 4. Not gassy anymore. My cutting diet is so much more sustainable now since I don’t crave sweets anymore. My diet is mainly: 1. Rib-eye steaks, 2. Wild caught sock-eye salmon, 3. Ground beef, 4. Hamburgers, 5. Raw cheese, 6. Raw milk, 7. Raw honey, 8. Raw butter, 9. Greek yoghurt, 10. Fruits and 11. Eggs. Before my workouts I still eat high glycemic carbs like rice, bread, honey, bananas, etc. but the rest of the day it’s mainly meat, eggs, raw dairy and fruits (with lower glycemic index). I tried the full strict carnivore diet, but it didn’t work for me since I workout very intensely and I barely had any energy in the gym and I couldn’t get any pumps.
My blood work and health is great on plant based diet, I'm here because my weight is not good it keeps going up so quitting carbs to see if it changes. I have lost 5 lbs in water this week which is good because I couldn't even do that on plants.
I love both meats and veggies.
Truth! Thanks, MM. Similar story: I did vegetarian in my late 20s, then spent decades trying to eat less meat. The day I stopped the heart-healthy whole grains for breakfast was the day I stopped being desperately hungry by by 1030 am and stopped the nuclear fart1ng by 2 pm. Decades of grumpy gut - gone. Autoimmune hyperthyroidism hasn't come back. Mood more stable. Almost 6 years keto. A few years ago I flipped the proportions of meat and vege. Now more meat, green stuff to make the plate look pretty. I love a big salad from my garden, but it doesn't fill me up. Age 63 & more active than ever and building muscle!
Brain much better; I spend my spare time reading the scientific literature and advocating for low carb. The evidence is IN.
I'd venture to say that there are very very few health conscious people who have not been plant based or vegan for a long part of their lives. Everyone who veers away from that to a more meat based diet comes to see the shortcomings of being plant based.
I'm coming full circle to staying away from anything that is pushed as a "healthy food". "Health food" for me keeps me hungry, and meat and dairy keeps me full. Interestingly, I eat a lot less food when I eat meat and dairy...I wonder who doesn't want me eating ultra satiating foods that don't trigger over eating? huh.
Is there a difference between butter, tallow or simply "fat off the bone" in terms of whatever risk there is of "overconsumption"? How would you do a high fat carnivore diet if you can't get fatty enough meat? Lots of people do suggest either adding butter or tallow but aren't both of those sources so called separated from the food matrix?
They are both saturated fats. Same as lard or duck fat, all beneficials. There is a ratio protein/fat (higher in fat) that needs to be tweaked, on an individual basis. The risk of overconsumption of those fats will be sudden runs to the bathroom...
First thing I noticed when I went on carnivore diet - I stopped waking up in the morning and immediately farting enough to drive Pembroke B power plant for a week! After that energy levels went right up and bathroom trips reduced to between one and two times a day. Now after several months on carnivore, I know pretty quick if I have a inadvertently eaten too many carbs (usually in the form of a few teaspoons of protein yogurt), because the morning and bathroom routines start to regress.
Wonderful story Mike. I did Paleo as well. You look amazing!
Our ancestors ate both plants and meat, i think the difference is quality. So much of our foods today are processed. Regardless if you like meat or plant based diets, quality is key!
Wrong. Ancestors ate mostly meat, over 75%, the rest being, most probably, fruits and some roots just to survive.
@@alxdava2004 and roots are plant based, so I'm not wrong. Also it depends on what ancestors we are talking about. I'm Irish so many of my ancestors survived on potatoes and whatever was available. Not sure what you're on about. Have a good day.
Exactly, most people have and always will be omnivores. Moderation and balance in all aspects is the key to a healthy life.
@@Potato-mu7nupotatoes haven’t been around that long. You’re talking about a few generations.
I have alpha gal syndrome from a tick bite, so I went vegan 13 years ago. My blood work is perfect. My doctor said I’m one of the healthiest patients he has ever had. I don’t eat crap like chips and Oreos though. I eat real food. I’m a size 2 and feel amazing.
It’s ALMOST like people have different needs for their bodies or something. Go figure. 🤷♀️
I’ve done vegan keto as well and did great on that too. High fat, low carb works. High carb, low fat works. The trick is to not combine fats and carbs.
Yes! Some people do really well on a vegan diet. Some do really well on keto or carnivore.
I did very poorly being vegetarian, but I do get it.
So glad to see this video in your collection. 😊👍
You are not biased but experienced in what is the proper human diet. Happy to see you stopped the heavy plant based diet. And wine is plant based sugar water, which is plant based. Happy to see you dropped that too! Water is best.
Carnivore is optimal! I have been carnivore for 1 year 6 months and loving it!
Pure carnivore is the ultimate elimination and nutrient rich diet, but many of us low carb carnivores add in fermented foods (chocolate, cheese, sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt, ACV, ...) and vegs and fruit to supply polyphenols, fiber to fuel the microbiome. This can be a trick that depends on gut health. See Gundry's books: Unlocking the Keto Code, Gut Check.
Going Ketovore has changed/saved my life at age 60! Physical and mental symptoms disappearing...body curves returning. 😊 And I rejected S.A.D. 15 years ago for a traditional diet. But it was greatly upping red/meat and lowering plants that has made all the difference!!! Consuming animal fats has been pure joy...healing my endocrine system that has been broken for decades from high carb/low animal fat. BONUS...drug addictions falling away...alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, nuts, chips, sugar, etc...
i went through a stage where i was juicing, sprouting, baking from scratch, i got arthritis, lost my gall bladder due to gallstones i have 2 pages of ailments that went away in 6 months going carnivore! .. i gave away all the juicers I had and I am now carnivore! made me healthier and happier and i have time to watch carnivore videos:)
Mike, I’d love to see a video showing what you eat throughout a full day
Not surprised you ended up going carnivore. Carnivore is like the final boss level of diet. It’s the pinnacle of mastering your health. So you being the self improvement guru that you are, it makes sense you’d go carnivore.
Yay! I’m so happy you’ve found carnivore. Finally!!!
Been on ketovore since Jan 1, down 68lbs, my IBS is mostly gone, I still have issues if I eat excess carbs or veggies. My acid reflux is tolerable now with occasional need for an antacid, whereas before I was taking Lansoprazole daily, and prior to that Zantac before it was removed from the market. Down from a 42 pant size to 36, and down from a 4/5x shirt to a 2/3x. It's incredible, and I have had my moments where I'll eat something I shouldn't or an excess of something like cheese, but I've been able to stick to what I should be eating.
Great to see you finally figured it out brother!!!
Anything other than animal products simply destroy the body.
There's nothing more to say 🙏
I am on carnivore diet and it is the best diet I ever tried. I counted how many benefits I got from this and it was total of 18! 18 benefits from just changing diet! 😊 The most important thing is that I just feel so comfortable and healthy.
Thank you for the tips about butter and oils. As a new ketovore/carnivore, I am trying to navigate through this new woe
I will be 63. I am mainly on keto diet, but I do have potatoes and carrots a few times a week, and oranges and bananas a few times a month. Well one bag of oranges and one bunch of bananas.
I am also a gardener but i refrain from lots of vegetables because is only my bf who eats tomatoes, the kids lettuce and i do a lot of cilantro. I realized cucumbers didnt want to be eaten from the thorns, parsinps smell like gas etc.
Good vid ! I was organic vegetarian for over 10 years and it dam near ruined my health! Low fat vegetarian because that's what was being pushed ! Never again ! Leads to muscle wasting, brain malnutrition "dementia", bone mass loss, hormone disruption. So I switched to a animal foods based diet and after 3 months I started feeling better and getting my strength back and now after 4 years on animal based diet I'm feeling fantastic, look much better, face skin way better, don't get sick anymore and building muscle back ! So don't preach to me about the crappy veganism diets, I did it and it sucks for long term health.
💯
3:00 I would also add that switching over to a carnivore based diet means incorporating more solid foods that will not run right through you like plants do. Because of the high fiber, more plant based diets can cause bloating and people to be gassy.
Dairy, carbonated beverages, and artificial sweeteners can also cause excess bloating/gas. 👍🏻
I’ve noticed that i really need to cut out all processed food in order to see benefits but then benefits are tremendous
I'm from Colorado. I'm sorry you got stuck in the tree hugger culture of Boulder. Glad you got out of there.
Don't throw out eggshells
Crush them up a little bit and mix them with the soil in your garden or sit them on top of the soil to deter caterpillars etc
I mostly like this podcast because you are not speak so so fast! I appreciate you, thankyou for your knowledge🎉
Congratulations ❤ that you found the eating way which suits you most. And thanks for sharing this❤
The only thing i realized from all these diets, is that everybody reacts differently and what works for one won't for another you just need to give it a gon for few months and see how it works for you.
