I'm 68 and been doing Keto and Canavore for 5 years now. Lost 65 LBS. Normal wait now and doing intermittent fasting 2 times a week. No more joint pain. Reverse type 2 diabetes. A1C is below 5.7. I feel better at 68 then I did at 40. I think I'll go out at 4 to 5pm at a local steak house and order a medium rare steak and only a steak, with lemon water and no dessert. I like the look on the waitress face when she says. Just the steak, that's all your eating? Yes, that's it. 😊 Thanks to the many carrying Dr. On the internet. Like you.

Been suffering from acid reflux for decades. I have an acidic stomach and ulcer was like my twin since gradeschool days. Those were suddenly went away just by doing keto. For me its a miracle. Im 54 now. Imagine im suffering from acidity for almost 40 yrs suddenly gone with the change of diet. I eat mostly meat since keto

Same here, still thrilling two years on to be symptom free after of decades of reflux. I thought I was sensitive to fat, turns out I was sensitive to all foods apart from good protein and fat. I’m 70.

[@katejacobs5491]

My real problems begun when I was put on 20g Lipitor 3 years ago. In 10 months I became hugely overweight and could hardly walk. A friend told me about Dr Jason Fung. I begun a search/study of food. Now almost carnivore and aging no longer worries me. My doctor was not pleased and insisted on a blood test after I was keto for 2 months. Completely normal,no need for any medication.

Wonderful lecture. I'm a 73 year-old female. I had a hip replacement last February. I wasn't able to exercise a month before and three months after but I was eating lots of protein upon the advice of my son. It felt good to hear your advice, knowing that I did the right thing by eating a lot of protein. I did gain weight because I was also eating carbs for comfort. But I am sure I will lose the extra weight now that I am exercising again. Thanks so very much for sharing. I enjoyed the talk very much.❤

Thanks for the great information!! I've gone full circle of very low animal protein for years to being fully carnivore now and have seen dramatic improvements at the age of 65. No more sarcopenia and no more osteoporosis!!!

Again, I needed this 20 years ago. I wasn't overweight, but I had tons of health problems and I never found anything like this!

I have a very good experienced nurse friend who is very active and athletic. She believes in the SAD and eats 60% carbs and because of her extreme activity level she can do that. She thinks I'm crazy to be ketovore. Even though I've lost weight, increased strength and am healthier than I've been in decades at 63.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

I am 65 and am doing carnivore. However, my husband is nearly 72 and eats very little protein. I keep trying to get him to eat more, it's difficult. He still believes that too many eggs will clog his arteries and will only eat 2 on Sunday mornings, that's it. He sits in his chair watching tv all day, does very little around our little farm. I am afraid how he is going to end up.

When they say strength training, what older people (especially) need is the Slow Burn approach. Use a weight that is heavy enough that you can’t perform the exercises beyond 60-90 SECONDS when you do them really slowly, I mean REALLY slowly, taking three seconds to move the first inch and continuing at that pace. It’s really hard. You will be huffing and puffing. And do it ONLY twice a week. Research it. 😊 💪🏼

That was a great informative video. Thank you! It will help me during my transition to a carnivore diet with a few safe vegetables. Already feel much better after my first five days. Years of digestive problems have already been 90-95% solved. Failed regular Keto diet several times. Love fish, turkey, bacon, beef and just about any other protein. Not sure about eggs yet since I used to have problems digesting them. Celiac diagnosed 20 years ago, yet being gluten free was not enough to make me feel better. Retired now, so lots of time to learn about protein, fats - don’t mind them at all.

[@virginiaconway374]

Great video. Yes, I remember the book. I owned a copy. It seems to me that protein is for nutrition and healthy living and carbs are for laziness and stagnation.

[@1BethMcBeth]

What if you're NOT hungry? Should you "force" yourself to eat anyway? I've been Ketovore (mostly Carnivore) since 7-1-23. I eat mostly OMAD but, NOT intentionally because I don't have a vast appetite. I am eating when hungry and Stop when full. Very rarely do I have more than OMAD. I've lost a much needed 27.6 lbs and need about another 25. I'm no longer in the obese category. I am 5'3, 62 yrs old and a BC survivor. I feel amazing!!!

[@nataliajimenez1870]

The problem for a lot of people older than 60, particularly women, is that they eat too little protein. So, yes, try to work to the proper target (1 gram of protein per lb of your goal weight) slowly so your body adapts. You may need to have 2 or 3 meals a day. I suggest stews or even protein shakes (from good quality animal source) if you have difficulty meeting your daily protein targets. And add some resistance training (can be with just elastic bands) 3 times a week so that you build your muscle. If you do this, take your measurements instead of weighing yourself because muscle and bone are heavier than fat. You may lose inches but not weight

[@emh8861]

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it . 😎

[@iss8504]

No don't eat if not hungry

[@stepheneverhardt4731]

[@dianasthings729]

I watched an interesting video by the Carbohydrate addict doctor, Dr. Cywes and his patient had very elevated cholesterol on a OMAD mostly carnivore diet He also had elevated triglycerides and other risk factors. Dr. Cywes told him to start eating 3 meals per day and smaller amounts at each meal. The problem was that his body couldn't digest all that food at one sitting properly and caused the elevated risk factors. You may want to get your blood work done to see if your body can handle that. The patient started eating 3 meals per day and his cholesterol dropped down to normal along with all the other risk factors.

They will close your sprinter muscles. And your acid reflux will go away and you can go back to bed if you don’t have capsules, just chew the tablets. They must have billions of colonies of bacteria in the acidophilus not millions but billions and it will close your specters up and heal you up.

At the time I was very interested in the vegan diet, but would never have thought about raising a child on it. Now as an adult (I was 15 back then) I can’t believe the irresponsibility of the parents, how can they not have had any knowledge about essential molecules and bioresorptionlevel (struggling to find the common word)?

Wikipedia in Protein Power: Nutritionists Fredrick J. Stare and Elizabeth Whelan criticized the diet as "too lopsided to be healthful" and the Eades for assembling their own "facts" into an "antiscience hypothesis".[4] They noted that "At a time when many years of scientific research are beginning to establish the unequivocal association between plant foods and disease prevention, it strikes us as unconscionable for two medical doctors to be striking out in the opposite direction."[4] 😂 There's worse stuff there!!!

[@TC-mf1cq]

[@DomDeDom]

​@TC-mf1cq I mean Wikipedia has published absolute unscientific nonsense.

[@dictare]

The source must be considered. Fredrick John Stare (April 11, 1910 - April 4, 2002) rejected the idea that 'the American diet' was harmful; stating for example that Coca-Cola was "a healthy between-meals snack"[1] and that eating even great amounts of sugar would not cause health problems.[3][4] He was also a leading campaigner for the fluoridation, which his critics suggested was part and parcel of his endorsement of sugar. In his autobiography, Adventures in Nutrition, Stare states that in 1960 he obtained a grant of $1,026,000 from General Foods for the "expansion of the School’s Nutrition Research Laboratories" and that in the 44-year period as a nutritionist he raised a total of $29,630,347.[7] For instance, Kellogg's funded $2 million to set up the Nutrition Foundation at Harvard. Elizabeth M. Whelan (/ˈhwiːlən/; December 4, 1943 - September 11, 2014) was an American epidemiologist best known for promoting science that was favorable to industry and for challenging government regulations of consumer products, food, and pharmaceuticals industries... She worked to promote industry-friendly science and to suppress the influence of other science on regulators, and was condemned by activists for promoting industry interests, for example with respect to pesticides, growth hormones for dairy cows (rBST), PCBs, hydraulic fracturing, and the proposed limit on soda sizes in New York City.

[@petermadany2779]

My understanding is that there is one way to eat too much protein: consuming only lean meat and/or processed plant proteins. This is referred to as protein poisoning or rabbit starvation. If one eats the fat that naturally comes with beef, lamb, goat, etc. it should not be a problem. Some wild game and rabbits have meat that’s too lean. Also a pure chicken and turkey breast diet would be too lean and very annoying to consume. Most plant protein is accompanied by carbs, and most animal protein as accompanied by fats, so protein poisoning is seldom a concern.

How important is the difference between animal & veg protein? keto advocates claim only animal protein is sufficient. However, Chris Gardner makes a counter argument--& he is compelling.

Probably best to listen to your mama who posseses the wisdom of the ages.

If you had bothered to listen to the whole talk they clearly explain that plant proteins don't have the complete set of essential amino acids, that's why you have to make sure you combine your plant sources so that you are eating the complete set. Also they mention how the nutritional analysis of proteins over count the proteins in plants because it includes nitrogen compounds that are not proteins. So you have to eat more plants to be able to get the equivalent amount of protein from animal sources. Drs. Eade (and Dr Westman) are medical doctors that have actually reversed diabetes for thousands of patients. Chris Gardner is a professor doing statistical analysis that has never cured a patient in his life since he's not a medical doctor

@@nataliajimenez1870 Don't start your post with a rude & judgmental comment. What's up with that?! This time, I will assume that you were in some way trying to be helpful. For your edification, Gardner is an expert in nutrition. His Ph.D. is specifically in nutrition science. He is acknowledged by the world to be such via the esteemed position he holds at Stanford. Michael Eades' educational background by contrast, is in civil engineering & family medicine (owns a chain of them?). Beyond that, Gardner is a vegetarian. A vegetarian diet can also put diabetes into remission & remit obesity & metabolic syndrome. They seem to generally believe that animal fat causes the problems attributed to carbs by keto proponents. It cannot be true that vegetarianism must be so intricately calculated by that fact that it is the primary diet of the Hindu population in India, for example (sacred cow). Just as carbs cannot be the source of all disease judging by that fact that most of the world subsists on diets of primarily rice. Regarding amino acids, I have to look back at Gardner. I thought he said it is more about the variety of plants vs quantity to insure sufficient required amino acids. Beyond that, medicine is in its infancy & has much innocent blood (& grave robbing) on its hands.

​@@mariad1151if you watch Dr Michael Eades "Paleopathology and the Origins of the Low carb diet " it makes sense. Evolution and anthropology teaches us more than any modern day industry funded nutritionist.

Plant protein is less bioavailable

​​@@mariad1151as far as I know the Indian kitchen, they use plants but only for the taste of food. It's cooked till almost no nutrition is left. They eat a lot of eggs, chicken, fish and other animals! Maybe we should look at the health of them as well.
