I've just started a mostly carnivore keto diet thanks to you Dr Berry. I come from a farming area in the UK and one thing i noticed (which didn't make sense to me until watching you're stuff) is that there are loads of old farmers late 80's 90's around and their diet is basically butters, fats, meats, eggs, heavy creams. I guess it makes sense now, but back when i used to be eating my low cal granola i'd wonder how this old bloke made it to 90 as he's porking a gurt fryup lol.

I get most of mine from sardines and olive oil

[@matheuskeocheguerian8734]

I think we should eat fish in capsules, since fish in captivity generally do not have omega-3s due to the lack of food with phytoplankton in this case, and it also contains heavy metals. High quality omega-3 capsules with DHA / EPA are generally free of heavy metals.

[@JYAN2852]

@@matheuskeocheguerian8734 Supplementing is a good option also. But what most people don't realize is that Omega3 is also a polyunsaturated fat. So it's highly prone to oxidation same as with Omega6 and monounsaturated Omega9 when processed. Most are already oxadized by the time the oil gets encapsulated the longer it gets exposed to oxygen. Isn't this why Omega6 gets demonized? Omega3 is no different both are pufa

[@rand0m1s]

Early this year my eye doctor diagnosed me with MGD (meibomian gland disorder). She recommended that I eat more healthy fats and recommended eggs and flax. Given I am keto, I already eat a large amount of healthy fats and eggs are high in the list of stuff I eat all the time. About a month earlier I had talked my GP into adding Vit D and B12 tests (for reasons I won't get into here) and my Vit D level had come in just below the normal range. My GP didn't think it was a problem and left things there. So after my eye doctor appointment I was looking into the various options. flax seed oil was highly touted, but the Omega3 fats in that are ALA, and the body doesn't convert those very well, so I really didn't see its benefit over any other kind of fat. I decided to go with cod liver oil both for the healthy fats and the Vit D boost. (I live in Seattle, we can go months without seeing the sun.) And within a month starting cod liver oil my eyes felt so much better. No stinging, no burning. A few months months ago I ran out of cod liver oil and was too lazy to reorder right away (was trying and failing to find it locally in stores). And I noticed my dry, itchy and burning eyes came right back. Eventually got more cod liver oil and started to take it daily again. And my eyes went back to good, or at least much much better. I wonder if its at least partially the Vit A in the cod liver oil. 1tsp contains a little over 100% of the daily recommended amount and in a form our bodies like and can make use. I also noticed that my energy levels are noticeably higher when I take it compared to not taking it. Wonder if that's the vit-D. Back during the second world war, my grandmother had a cow. So she would trade her family's rations of milk and butter with other families for their cod liver oil. Smart woman.

It now contains not just one ingredient, but three (cod liver oil, Retinyl Palmitate (synthetic vitamin A) and Cholecaliferol (vitamin D3, typically extracted from lanolin). I wish they had stuck to the unadulterated formulation. I prefer to eat liver for vitamin A, and want my intake of synthetic vitamin D3 to be limited to the Winter, and for the dosage to be entirely under my control. The merit of this cod liver oil is that it is made without the use of solvents. It is lab tested for heavy metals. And, it doesn't have a rancid taste or odor which is common in the big brands. I tolerate this cod liver oil well. I wish they had not reformulated it. Have you found a suitable alternative that is unadulterated and doesn't cost stupid money? At least the dosage of these two vitamins is not preposterous, as they are in some competitors.

Wow, all the symptoms of low vitamin A are also the symptoms of having too much vitamin A. I ate less vitamin A and my night vision improved, and I lost weight, and I had no allergies or runny nose whatsoever for the month I was on low vitamin A. I also learned that coming off a low vitamin A diet with a pizza has caused me to have a horribly runny nose and sneezing. I feel like it's the cheese because I have the same reaction to ice cream now. I never noticed it until getting off vitamin A foods (no pork, no dairy, no eggs, no fish, no liver/organs (which I never ate anyway) no rainbow vegetables, no colorful fruit). Just eating mainly beef, beans, and rice, meat-heavy, I had no allergies of any kind. As soon as I eat pizza, I'm making snot like a fountain. It's happened five separate times. I would have never known it if I hadn't done this with food. Dairy with a sauce made from nightshades. Seems more like a toxicity reaction than an allergy.

[@dawne5139]

Read Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes. It doesn't have all the latest research, as written a few years ago, but it is basically a book about the history of nutritional science. It is a bit of a hard read, but it will really help you understand what went wrong. Another thing to understand is how much Adventist have controlled nutritional science. The American Nutritional Society is Adventist. Kellogg and Post, think big grain, are Adventist. Big grain means big money. The Adventist beleive that eating animal products causes masterbation which causes all the ills of the world. So basically you have a crazy religious belief combined with massive profits controlling most nutritional studies. Remember, these are the people that have convinced the world that eating oil designed for motors and oil lamps is healthy.

[@cammieklund]

Chris masterjohn says that this vitamin A is not a vitamin stuff is total insanity. I will say that you will be vitamin D deficient if you are not taking 150-300mcg of vitamin D3 per day and if you start eating liver or getting adequate vitamin A you may get bad side effects. This may be interpretted as vitamin A toxicity because vitamin A antagonizes vitamin D. Nutrition with Judy has a woman on talking about how she ate liver on carnivore and got these horrible results. She did not mention every taking vitamin D though, so I suspect that is the cause.

I was hoping leg/foot cramps because I can't pinpoint the reason. Instead I got a Wow when he said 3 of the symptoms I do have. If you are reading this I get lots of Sodium, tried adding Magnesium doesn't make a difference, Potassium makes it worse. When I'm eating bad carbs, pizza candy soda ect., no cramps. They only happen when on Carnivore starting about day 2 to my longest stretch 2 weeks. I like how I feel on Carnivore but those cramps can wake me out of deep sleep and they come randomly at least once a day. Always one of my feet or calf forcing me to stand fast and do the calf stretch till it stops never more than a minute long. Long hard work day seems increase the chance of getting one. I'm going to see if you have a cramp video maybe I'll find my answer there. I don't know maybe I need more time to adapt to Carnivore, my goal is 30 days then go from there. I do OMAD too so maybe adding another eat time might help.

iirc, calcium deficiency can also be a cause of leg cramps, according to Dr. Joel Wallach. But research it to be sure. And maybe you still need more salt, some people need a lot more than others.

How to become better converters

is keto/carni good for environment? im against at factory farm and conventional dairy farm.

[@Tmanaz480]

One person's diet is not going to affect the global challenges we face. The best thing you can do for the environment is vote. There's an entire political party scoffing at science and environmentalism and tearing down environmental regulation. Not to get political, but sometimes we have to. Vote out Republicans and conservative Democrats and find good progressive candidates that support the environment. Meat can be raised sustainably and humanely if we put strong rules into place. Many plant based crops are not good for the environment either.

[@kylapatriciac.salvador6532]

@@Tmanaz480 what are ur thoughts about regenerative farming? I saw someone said that in order for that to happen, we have to eat less meat. and those plants, wheat, and corn that are grown are for cows and not really for humans. so if we will stop growing wheat and corn and will replace it by raising animals, is it possible to have large numbers of cows and let them gazing? coz I dont have problem eating less meat but not literally avoid meat. I believe fats like raw milk, raw cheese, raw butter, etc are crucial than lean meat.

Some people have a bad deficiency where they need to supplement with it so what would be a good supplement to use temporarily

Would low A have an effect on someone having cankor sores? My daughter suffers from those

[@goodintentions1302]

22 years ago a friend told me I should be eating ginger because I was always having canker sores. I added ginger, in powder form, to food and making a tea with it. Then I discovered crystalized ginger and enjoyed eating that. I have had ONE tiny canker sore since adding ginger to my diet 22 years ago!

[@aprilf6208]

When I started giving my son probiotics, his canker sores went away. We also stopped using the plunger after he went to the bathroom. The stomach and mouth are connected.

[@toon2u1]

check for food allergies (wheat/gluten) happened to me

[@barbaraferguson1136]

Cankor sores are from wheat gluten sensitivities

[@dianavp9054]

I suffered canker sores my entire life. They flare up when the arginine to lysine ratio gets inverted. When I stopped the foods high in phytates (nuts, grains, sweet potatoes, citrus) and went more carnivore, I stopped having outbreaks!! I was taking 3,000 to 6,000 mg lysine during outbreaks. Now I take 500mg twice a day, plus lemon balm. As long as i eat a ketovore diet, no problems. 😊

[@learntocookketo]

Add to that the vegetables don’t have the concentration of vitamins due to overworked soil and many root vegetables have toxins due to pollution. I still eat veggies, don’t get me wrong. Just stating the facts mam!!

[@Keep-on-ok]

So which is better? I do eat liver. I was told to take beta carotene instead of something labeled vitamin A. I have dry eyes.

[@dealman3312]

liver is better, dont need to convert
