Dr. Rick, I really enjoy your videos. I was born and raised In Dubuque and lived most of my life in Iowa. I remember many trips to the Iowa State Fair when my (now adult) kids were younger. So much fun! I now live in Arizona (6 1/2 years) and I’ve been Carnivore for over six years. Carnivore eating has helped improve a number of health issues including joint pain. I’d like to steer some of my Iowa clients your way if you accept patients who could benefit from carnivore. Keep your videos coming. Ps. Always so cool to see the butter cow when at the State Fair!

Missing your videos, Doc! You have some of my favorite videos in the carni-verse.

Great advise. As a 73 year old lady with Osteoporosis I have decided to cut down my walking and incorporate weight training. Thank you!

82, I started Carnivore on 2/1/24 I stretch, exercise, rebound, and use a vibration plate and 2# weights...

44 year old female carnivore, strength training 5 days a week. Low intensity but it definitely shows and I feel great. ❤

I just started strength training. Thanks for the encouragement!👍

Carnivore lifter. I'm thinking I'm a lean mass hyper responder. One thing I can't find any info on. My triglycerides shot way up(235) along with my LDL. HDL is 40. I don't have ketone in my urine or blood. Done both tests. So I assume I'm skipping that recycle process in my liver. Maybe that's why triglycerides are high? They are circulating and being used up for energy????

Started carnivore at the beginning of the year and lost 80 pounds so far, with 20 to go. I'm 66 and this will put me at my college weight. No real exercise so far, but about to start, including kettle bells. Need to gain muscle as well as lose the fat.

Energy & strength with lifts feels so depleted without carbs. Any tips

I’m 54 years old and I’ve been carnivore for about a year and a half. About a month I began a weight lifting regimen. I had been a weight lifter most of my life but fell out of that routine for about 5 years. I’m now lifting about 40 minutes 3 times per week. I feel so much better doing this. I’m shocked at how quickly my body has responded. This is sound advice. Thank you!!

Important info here, with main takeaway being that strength training is a must. If we want to be consistent about muscle fiber types however, Type One is known as SLOW TWITCH while Type Two is classed as FAST TWITCH. For some reason people feel empowered when they “know” their Muscle Fiber Types. 😮

Did carnivore for 2 months was amazing energy sleep and weight loss and reversed all inflammation Then started back on alcohol daily 😮 after a month of drinking I reversed everything I'd gained on carnivore im so devo with myself and feeling like shit TIME TO RESET CARNIVORE DIET day 3 of RESET no DRINKING eating clean BBBE and lifting 8lbs 3.6kilos. Not enjoying lifting to be honest, but since watching this video it's given me purpose and a new LIFT 😅 Thanks so much could of easily quit lifting new subscriber I'm 60 thank you Dr Rick

I wish I could exercise. I have apparently the one and only condition for which exercise is not advised: ME/CFS with PEM. I can sometimes walk a little, but for 25 years I have been trying to add in even minuscule amounts of strength training, and the result every single time is post-exertional malaise and a worsening of my condition. 😔

I started carnivore last December after listing to one of Dr. Shawn O'Mara's many interviews. His big message is reducing visceral fat and he says sprinting is the best exercise for that. He says sprinting exercises fast twitch muscles like no other and activates myokines which will build muscle all over the body. I was a good sprinter in my youth, so I started sprinting and started carnivore a month or so after that. I also do pull ups and pushups to failure a couple of times per week. It seems to work pretty well and at my age, 61, I'll take it :)

What...what..what...😮 no say it's not true...my glucose levels can't hear this 😂😂😅😊 Well done ✔️

Can a regenenten patch be utilized after a shoulder joint replacement?

10:11 congratulations on your growth. Thanks for sharing your journey. Very motivating. I asked my doctor about starting the Carnivore diet. She said it's wasn't a good idea to do these "Fad" diets. She would refer me to a nutritionist and that we could look into weight loss medications 💊 😮 I'm about 50lbs over my ideal weight of 190. The Star Wars analogy was great 👍

Just found your channel. Very motivating. 👍 Have you heard anything about the "Evil Russian Pushup Program"?

Nope.

I'm 66, I'm on the Carnivore Diet, and I literally just came from the gym where I was lifting weights. I get unbelievable muscle gains, even at 66, when lifting on the carnivore diet.

Dr. Rick couldn't be more correct! I've been a chiropractor for 35 years and recently was certified as a personal trainer because I am teaching every patient to exercise. Kettlebells and resistance bands seem to be the practical for most people. Other people do better at Planet Fitness/Anytime Fitness, working with dumbbells, barbells and/or machines. The research is overwhelming regarding the benefits of strength training and health span/insulin resistance. I am so convinced of the need for strength training that I now perform resistance exercise six days a week, and sprint once per week. As we age we need to exercise and increase our exercise routine to counter decreased sex hormone concentrations.

😂 Very good

Consumir grasa y hacer ejercicios de fuerza ( períodos cortos e intensos) estimila la producción de MITOCONDRIAS y + micondrias = más VIDA!! 🙋🏻‍♂️🇺🇾

Agree with everything you said, carnivore for 28 months. Thanks for the info!

It's not.

Love Carnivore diet....Dr. What about if you have both hips replaced ...can you give exercises that we should NOT do ...and why would the bottom of your feet ...when you recline... your bottom of the foot feels numb ...like you have stockings on ...only happened after replacing hips ...one year now...one hip makes a low clicking noise ...tendons?...my Dr has retired recently .. thanks 🤨

I went strict carnivore 2 1/2 years ago and lost 100 lbs in a year going from 290 to 190 and have kept it off. I started lifting weights about a year ago and still do it 4 times a week. I’m 63 and it really helps to keep me limber and out of pain and I’m building muscle. I agree that people of any age would benefit from it. It’s like giving your future 80 year old self a gift that you’ll thank your younger self for once you get to that age.

Dr. Rick, what have you been lifting? Feathers?

I started carnivore 21Sep24. I maintain weight lifting H.I.T. Mike mentzer style, and it's even more amazing now on carnivore. My workouts, I do feel like I have more energy, even after I'm done, and I don't take any supplements anymore, being creatine, protein, and pre- workout. It's good to hear encouragement tho, thank you.

I’ve incorporated deadlifts and have noticed a fast improvement in my leg strength. I’m 61 been on a whole food mostly animal based diet. The deadlifts take no time at all to do I started at 5 sets of 5 and the last set I go 8. I rest for 1 minute in between sets and I’m loving it.

I’m 75 and strength train 3 times a week. Carnivore day 51. 👍🏻

Thanks for your good advice! I‘m 59 and for 3 month on carnivore. Best desicion ever. I‘ll try to do some strength exercises now!!!

Thanks, I'm a mom of 5 kids. Does lifting laundry baskets count? Just went carnivore and have a routine in walking. Thanks to you I just might pick up my husband's weights he just pulled out and dusted off

I’m 65 & on carnivore. I’ve been weight training for 47 years. I’m 5’4” and 178 lbs of muscle. I also CrossFit training.

Regardless of diet, weight training has always been recommended especially for seniors for its benefits to bone strength and daily living.

That's also my experience. Since being on carnivore (20 months) I reached my optimal weight in 4 months. If I want to gain some more muscles I need to hit the gym otherwise I might be just overeating meat.

I don't agree that it's essential but exercise is beneficial.

Hi I just found you. I am vision impaired but am am reversing blindness according to my channel :-) listening to you I hear a young Dr Eric Westerman style voice characteristic. Very pleasant thank you

Been on carnivore for a month and I’ve lost 35 pounds! BUT, I haven’t made time to exercise yet. You’ve inspired me to get after it! Time to go lift!

Do kettlebells count? I do the Pavel style workouts.

Been carnivore since December. Been lifting weights 4 years. Noticeable change in my physique since going carnivore. Recovery from strained muscles is also a matter of hours than pre-carnivore days.

Fatty meat, push-ups with pull-ups, and chin ups and dead hangs.

Ive been strict BBBE for 21 days, also started doing weights at the gym, there is a very noticable difference in body physique already, im 39 year old male who is about 25-35 lbs over weight.

If you’re starting out from a low point, a great option is learning to use resistance bands. You can work up to doing full range-of-motion exercise with very light resistance. If you’re older, this can keep your joints mobile and reduce the risk of injury while you build functional strength.

Just start with a tin of beans in each hand. Maybe move to a carrier bag with a few tins. If you have some balance, try walking backwards with very slow deliberate steps. Build up to slow deliberate strides backwards.

I agree. Been lifting for 24 years now and at 72 I feel fantastic. Helped hubby last week unload and transport 21 18x18” concrete paver blocks (40lbs. a piece) from driveway to back yard. I had no ill effects, hubby was totally wiped out. He is 75 and never works out. I felt fantastic. Been carnivore 273 days.

I am 79 years old, 55 inches tall, Carnivore for six years... I am going to watch this, but I am pretty sure I won't be lifting any weights.... but then, you never know because I haven't lost the weight yet on Carnivore lifestyle.

YES I am one that is going to heed your advice, starting today. I'm 63 and started carnivore eating about 4 months ago. I have major healing to do but I was actually "trying" to eat right for most of my life. I am doing much better on carnivore. I walk about a mile a day, with my dog, but it's not all at once, it's 3 walks, morning, noon and night. That is about all my legs can do in a day. But I have the Cellerciser rebounder and I'm loving the bouncing now too. I have started "sprinting" on the Cellerciser rebounder, doing just 15 seconds of sprinting every 3rd day. Sometimes 2 short sprints with 3 minute rest inbetween. I have heard sprinting is REALLY beneficial. Not jogging tho. It needs to be a sprint, and it only needs to be a short sprint. My goal is to be able to sprint on the ground by this time next year. I have some small dumb bells gathering dust too, so perhaps it's time to start pushing those around. Thanks for the inspiration.

You've encouraged me to continue strength training. Been doing it for 7 weeks now, 2 times a week with a PT. Also carnivore/ keto. It's made a difference! 🇬🇧
