Searched the internet for this question that Paul answers so clearly!!

My ketones levels are now at 9mmol/l and I feel normal 😅

Thank you.

What "literature" or studies is he referring to that shows that fiber causes constipation? I hear none actually cited besides the one he did himself.

Eat meat to decrease bloating. Fiber causes a lot of pain and discomfort to people. Check out Dr Paul Mason talk about fiber and constipation. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZXZdGOjgpiii6Msi=93kMwCwG97x2NuqX

Fantastic!

Hello, I'm low carb and doing great!!! Almost carnivore. Please help!! I have a young friend ,32 yrs old with severe anorexia and bulimia over 15 years of struggling. She's about 5'6" 75-80lbs. She has gone to many hospitals and treatments centers over the years and this week heading to Texas to try again to put on weight and look and feel better. She has been plumped up with carbs at these places only to come home and lose the weight she put on and its more the bulimia habit. Can you suggest anything to help? We know its a mind issue as well as a food issue.

Me on: Keto: bloated + constipated. Carnivore: bloated + constipated. Low carb: bloated + constipated. Omnivore: bloated but NOT constipated. All I need is some oats/porridge, or some wholemeal toast, and things flow smoothly. I tried everything to get rid of my severe and permanent bloating, and nothing has worked. Probiotic supplements, kefir, several interventions to k!ll the "bad bacteria," which only made things worse. Imagine being unemployed and spending every penny you have on "gut specialists," supplements, etc, for years, and no luck. Only recently, I started thinking that maybe I'm full of visceral fat, despite not being overweight. I do intermittent fasting, and I don't eat any seed oils or added sugar, apart from a little raw honey. Unfortunately I can't exercise because I have Long Covid, and I'm very tired all the time. Time will tell, I guess.

Ok, and where is the randomized human control trial that proves this? Where are the long lived keto populations? Show me one!

Take the cows out of feed lots and back to eating grass on regenerative farms. Therefore they will be healthier and reduce the methane

God created human beings to be a plant-based creature. Plants are fibers. God can not be wrong. Sin is the root cause of all sickness. Sin can not be digested and metabolized by the human body. The fibers of today's world are not the fibers like in the Garden of Eden. It is the effect and influence of sin in this world that ruins God's perfect creation and nature. Since the fall of man, we lived unhealthy lives of sinful lifestyle. Processed food and drinks, self-abuse, addiction, chemicals, radiation, stress, distress and a long list of human degeneration! Medical science slides away from moral to clinical cause of sickness. The MORAL FIBER and DNA of godliness was destroyed in every aspects of life due to temptation, sin and death! Wake up doctors, you are blaming the wrong guy ..

The carnivore diet works. Cured all my problems and reversed my blindness. Many friends and family are taking a keen interest and some also trying themselves.

"Proof is in the pudding." ROFL

Can’t believe I found a 6 year old Paul Mason video that I haven’t seen yet. I had to get out my Bluetooth speakers, but it’s well worth it.

I've been carnivore 12 months. In the last few months I've developed seborrheic dermatitis - skin inflammation. I'm 62 and this is the first time I have ever had skin problems. Coincidence? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dont forget folks get some good sunshine and get on that grass.

Is frying a good way to cook your meat?

I hope we don’t have to eat synthetic meat 🍖 in Australia 🇦🇺

After eating low carb for 21 months I finally decided to do an N=1 experiment to see if I needed the added fibre I was eating. I had been consuming 2T chia seeds and 1t psyllium husk every day thinking that I needed it. Over that time I've been watching a lot of videos and have heard that you don't need fibre. So 1.5 weeks ago I stopped the chia and psyllium. As a precaution I also kept my hard cheese intake as low as possible (I know that this causes me constipation) but still had some cream and soft cheeses. I eat 3 meals per day. Previously I would have a bowel movement once a day but now I am having 2 movements a day, which really surprised me because I expected to miss a day. Today was the first movement that was a normal formation, whereas they had been more like rabbit poops, but I was very thankful that I didn't get blocked up which was my concern. And I've lost 1kg which I'm assuming is because I am not carrying around water-soaked chia seeds!

Brilliant!!! Thank you!!! 🙏

Dr Mason, a MD athlete needs to be enlightened on how to perform without a lot of carbs. Can you be a guest on his podcast? kzbin.info/door/2Xe4xhaXBF2IUE1tAdtwjg

I have to say this Paul, I've been watching you for years and you never seem to get any older. Your skin is fantastic, clearly you're doing the right thing.

Great presentation. U said high urea with keto is probably OK not hut panic button..what about creatinine going from .6 to 1.2? Urea went back down from .25 to .66 back. 25 but creatinine stayed at 12 any thought? 3 months into low carb/keto.

I thought the two research papers about carbohydrates for athletes did a good job of showing the benefits of low-carb/carnivore at the "extreme" ends of the athletics bell curve, endurance sport and 3-minute power test. I would be more interested to learn about research between those, for example, repeated power bursts over the period of an hour or two. I suspect that once the glycogen is depleted, it's much slower to replenish on low-carb/carnivore. That's how it feels to me when I play basketball or volleyball. Having said that, I remain low-carb and don't push as hard. I would rather be temporarily fatigued than try to play around with adding carbs.

quick question: does gluconeogenesis occur when not in ketosis? if so, is it downregulated or upregulated when in ketosis? also can you remind me why reducing/stopping carbs requires more salt intake, ive felt lack of salt in keto i just dont know what role salt plays that carbs fill.

what would happen if i ate only fats? ghee, bacon, pig fat etc, lets say you ate more grams of fat than protein?

This was excellent! I had chronic pain, inflammation from a congenital joint condition called fibular hemimelia. I also had chronic flare-ups with eczema on and off for several years, and another symptom I didn’t even realize was fixable, or well…curable: chronic BLOATING. All of this cleared up when I went carnivore. I’ve tried almost every mainstream diet under the sun. While the anti inflammatory diet and simply sticking to Whole Foods helped me lose nearly 75 pounds (and counting,) carnivore provided me with added health benefits and root-cause healing as an added benefit. Of course with some weight-loss as well. I’m documenting my journey here on KZbin as I cycle through animal based diets all year long❤

What an informative podcast, guys, so interesting. 👏🏻 👍

Fabulous. Everybody needs to know this information and it is presented in a simple, clear and concise manner.

Awesome video! Very enjoyable to watch!

I was a vegetarian for 10plus years and am carnivore now. It's a game changer. I love how I feel now. So strong. So happy.

I do not trust doctors, exept dr Paul Mason and dr Ken Berry, because doctors apply protocols, like robots use algoritms. Doctors do not think for themselves, they are not allowed to, sadly. Doctors are not interested in finding the cause of a problem or disease, they only treat symptoms, using toxic pills.

Very good analysis and summary: clear, simple and plain speaking.

Galileo! Figaro! Magnifico! I’m just a poor boy nobody loves me…

Hello Dr. Paul Manson. I wonder if you could explain, from a metabolic and digestive point of view it's not a good idea to mix in the same dishe: meat and carbohydrates (pasta, potatoes). What reactions happens in the stomach, the intestines...wich are the damages. Thank you.

How much are the kick-backs they receive - just like the vets who promote a 'complete' dog and cat food. That's the question you should be answering. My husband (in the UK) was bullied and threatened by a doctor from our practice just this week to take statins. He was completely over the top, not the sort of behaviour from someone who was just wanting to do the best for his patient - it was much more determined and incentivised for that. It's a scandal.

Hello Dr. Paul Manson. About oils...if you are going to cook and you have to choose a fat...wich one you choose: olive oil or butter/ghee? Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.

I went Carnivore and my morning glucose went from 5 to 6. It stays 6 until ater lunch. When I eat a carnivore lunch it goes down. Never goes above 6.4 even after food. HbA1c went from 5.4 to 5.2 after 4 months of Carnivore. Hb went from 15.4 to 16.4 and Haematocrit from 48 to 51. Did not look at reticulocytes

I learned something interesting. Seed oils are apparently not sold in Africa. If that is the case then they get all their fat from meat and milk, which isn't in a great amount like it is here.

Still a classic video 🍆

Hi Dr. Mason, I really enjoy your talks and interviews. It’s very informative! I have a question that may sound dumb to you, but here it goes. When we are in ketosis and burning our own fat, are we getting omega 3 fatty acids from that?

Smilie and wave I am!

Who's this charlatan? Eric Berg jr?

Thank you so much for this vídeo and info. Why we have to eat so much fiber? It´s because of a marketing and stock suply chain issue? It´s really beneficial? All that fruit and vegetables that they told us that we have to eat? I don´t maybe we should not eating so much fiber: vegetables and fruits. I am starting to consider this fact. It´s to that when you eat to much sugar and carbohidrite you get constipations, inflamation...but not much people consider what happen when you eat to much fiber...

If u eat the anti-nutrient containing foods by themselves, they take the nutrients out of your body instead of just binding to the nutrients in your food. So rather than a net zero (in the case of taking anti-nutrient foods with the nutrient filled foods), you end up with nutrient deficiencies...

I have been looking for this video. It’s hard to find for some reason. Here it is! Thanks.

Thanks 💙
