I’m 61, 6’3” and have lost 79 lbs (was 300 lbs, now 221) on Ketovore (95% carnivore) and have reversed/cured type 2 diabetes, high blood sugar, acid reflux, sleep apnea, IBS, headaches, depression, anxiety and more. Also now off all meds.😊 However, while I do sincerely appreciate how incredibly knowledgeable, amazing and also how incredibly strict both of you are on your carnivore WOE… I’ve found that I am thriving eating beef, lamb, pork, chicken, seafood, eggs, bacon, butter with some limited dairy (1-2 tbsp heavy cream in my morning coffee) and occasional/limited amts of cheese and occasional berries. After watching this video, I felt like coffee is a bad thing, dangerous to my health in fact. I’ve watched a ton of videos by Dr Berry, Dr Cywes, Dr Bikman, Dr Westman and many others who disagree and feel that coffee is “neutral”/not bad for most people. I have no noticeable negative effects from drinking coffee whatsoever and in fact enjoy it very much. I put some gf butter, heavy cream and a dash of organic monk fruit sweetener, cinnamon and vanilla and it acts as a “bridge” during my daily intermittent fasts, allowing me to feel satisfied until I eat my 1st of 2 meals. I feel that this ketovore (95% carnivore) WOE works best for me, but I do realize that some people need to be more restrictive due to autoimmune conditions and/or not being able to moderate (they are abstainers) and need to cut out anything (like cheese, berries, heavy cream, etc) that might tempt them and cause them to either fall off the wagon or experience serious/negative health effects.

I found as I ate more meat and less refined carbs, my desire for booze subsided. There is the habit side of booze, like a beer after a hot day or heavy work like mowing the lawn, and then the unconscious or addicted desire where you just want it. At one stage I was putting away a bottle of wine a night and a few beers. Recently it took me three days to drink a bottle of wine and I kind of had to force myself to finish it - stupid I know, but not wanting to 'waste' it was a strong feeling. We do things for some stupid reasons sometimes.

[@IronLadyDoc]

Like Dr chaffe said in the video...alcohol lowers our inhibitions for other toxic foods. With alcohol, we will soon find ourselves behind the 8 ball. Good job on your abstinence 😊

[@dieselbourbon3728]

Very recently I heard on Thomas Deleure that ketones can occupy the same receptors as alcohol thus satisfy the desire to drink. Don't quote me. Something to look into.

[@wendycarter5718]

Keto cured me of alcohol ( bottle of red a night ) clear now for nearly 4 years !! Carnivore now for 2 years .Luvvin it !

[@AutoroTink]

I’ve experienced the same!

[@flugmodus9214]

I understand “don’t wanna wast it”. I get the same intense feeling at times. If you are in the same dilemma maybe you can just use the wine in the cooking, it last for a while in the fridge and while you are technically still consuming it it has a different role. Also it’s much less quantity per time and you can get a nice sauce, for your meat😊 Then you are not wasting but you are also not technically drinking. You are repurposing. It’s funny how the mind works but things like this might help. You can also save it and make fancy sauce when you have non carnivore guests, then you don’t even have to consume if you do t want, give it to the guests and have your meat plain. All the best to you, Cheers

I’m 76, spent 5 years on Keto. The last 8+ months on Carnivore. I still drink coffee with butter. Organic stevia to sweeten. I eat eggs almost every day also. Bacon several times a week. Everything else is beef, lamb, a little chicken, very little pork. I’ve lost a total of 45 lbs from almost 6 years ago. Carnivore fits me best. GERD-gone. Inflamation was dibilitating in my IT Band down the left thigh. I found beef has never tasted so good. I also drink much more water on Carnivore.

[@Papacarnivore15]

I recently stopped taking electrolytes bc it was causing a massive weight stall over the past 3 months. Also, bc the electrolytes mix was flavored, I think it was highly addictive for me. I’ve started to lose weight again since taking these out of my diet, and feel better than ever.

Prepare your eggs differently and you will see that there is a difference. Whole: The sunny-side-up eggs (the liquid yolk) for me are very stuffy. Never more than 2. Whereas if I make them scrambled, I easily eat 4. Hard-boiled eggs give me heartburn, so I avoid them.🤷‍♀ But I admit that 8, 10, 14, I'm not there lol😂

If I don't take at least 2-3 teaspoons of salt and some magnesium and potassium too I get terrible leg cramps. It isn't water for me.

I may get past that, but I'm 4 months in and still need the salt.

I'm 12 months in and I still crave and need salt or I get calf cramps which I never suffered before. Also get the jumpy twitching eye which is lack of potassium. I'm 59 yr old women who has had/has under active thyroid not treated now but still a bit of an issue for me, think my body struggles to break down all nutrients for me to absorb as have been very poorly in past. Much improved on carnivore though.

[@jimbrogan9835]

@@heatherwills7559 In the wild most rivers and streams have salt, potassium, and magnesium in them. In addition animals in the wild will seek out "salt licks," rocks or other things that contain high quantities of salt. Pure H2O is actually not healthy for us, but a healthy body rapidly adjusts electrolytes in the blood to compensate for water when we drink it free of electrolytes. I, personally need between 2 - 3 teaspoons of sodium and a couple of dashes of potassium in the form of "No Salt" to keep away the symptoms you describe. I don't consider that a burden when I consider how bad I felt before switching to carnivore. I also found that eating a stick of butter with some salted pork rinds an hour or so before bed helps me sleep like a baby. Good luck! And God bless!

[@Dagnar1478]

Are you still drinking coffee?

[@nichelle-marquese743]

I started drinking coffee years ago to get rid of dibilitating migraines I was having and didn't want to take medication. I started drinking it with creamer and sugar, but then any type of creamer made my stomach hurt. So, I switched to coconit oil, but because that's expensive, I started using butter instead. I don't have an addiction to coffee, but have one cup each morning with 1/2 tsp butter, half a Tbs molasses, and a couple dashes of cinnamon all blended up in my magic bullet. I guess I do depend on it, because it causes my bowels to move every morning. If that doesn't happen, I feel bloated and horrible all day. It would be easy for me to quit coffee, BUT alcohol is a different story. Although it makes me feel horrible and sluggish the next day, I can't seem to quit. My fav is White Claw, and have been up to 6 a day😢. I think I'm an emotional drinker, when I feel stressed with anything in life (children and husband) I want something to drink. I know it's tearing up my stomach, and I'm poisoning myself. Hopefully eating more meat and fat will help me with the cravings, and hopefully my depression and anxiety subsides.

I make homemade electrolytes with magnesium and potassium Himalayan salt. If I do not have a couple doses a day, and I forget, I am woken up at night with severe calves, leg cramps, and it is horrible. The minute I do take my electrolytes the cramps absolutely come to a stop. So I think that when people make comments what’s good for one is not good for the other.

Serious question, cheese is a no no, but butter is encouraged - is it simply the difference in fat content? Milk versus cream?

[@carlwatts1230]

I'd guess that the proteins are the major difference. There's almost no milk proteins in butter. There's tons of milk proteins in cheese.

[@mackerelgainz541]

Cheese is more inflammatory, has some carbs, and has casomorphines which make it addictive. Butter is carb free, almost pure fat, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Butter is also almost lactose & casein free. If you're highly sensitive to those ingredients, then you are better off choosing ghee (clarified butter).

I’m in Australia and watching with interest, I have erosive inflammatory arthritis and would love to try carnivore. It’s so very difficult to manage cravings, plus knowing how to start. Any suggestions?

[@estherruth4692]

I started cold Turkey and that was too intense. I think a good way to start is to stop eating anything with seed oils and grains over a week long period. Then increase your meat intake and slowly start cutting out vegetables over a week until you’re not eating vegetables any more. Then, start cutting out fruit and you should be down to eating just meat. I think that fish, eggs and butter might be inflammatory so you would have to test that on yourself to see if it affects you. Lion diet (ruminant meat, salt and water) seems to be the best diet for people who deal with arthritis.

[@Aiken47]

Woolies Minced Beef with 18% fat is a good start, add salt to taste and butter because fat gets rendered out. It’s takes about 2weeks to kick sugar and carb cravings. If you crave something, crave bacon - that’s how I met the umami I was a real sweet tooth but it was killing me. So I stopped I want my life back.

[@Wimosifr]

Depends on how you work. Before Christmas, I was thinking about going carnivore in the New Year, but I indulged to much on Christmas Day and felt crappy the next day and made the decision to start right then. I was kinda keto for the first 2-3 days, just because I wasn’t 100% prepared, but within the first week I had cut out ALL carbs except for what’s naturally in eggs and heavy cream. It worked! No way I could have eased in…all or nothing for me! So, you have to know yourself. If you can moderate, ease into it. If not, go in whole hog.

I've been meat, eggs, and butter for some years now, and my blood sugar never came down to the early 5's. My A1C is today 6.1 and my insulin went up to ten from seven. Doctor says my body is making sugar and because I eat too much fat, the cells are not responding properly to insulin. He suggested the Mediterranean Diet with lean chicken, fish, mung beans and lentils and sweet potatoes. I'm going to just eat meat cooked with a little beef tallow and salt. No more butter. See what happens. If it doesn't work, I'll go for the Mediterranean thing without grains or nuts.

[@aleksandrazimpel8097]

When you stop buying all the crap from middle alleys, all the crap on perimeters of the store, visiting just butcher and egg section you save tons of money. You can afford meat, at the end it is the cheapest diet. And the other benefit is you will eat what you bought. With veggies and other thing you throw away a lot! I have been on both sides 6 years 90-95% carnivore and 25 years on WFPB so I know the difference!

What about fat? Eating only meat usually doesn't give me enough fat in my experience.

[@EricaBassi99]

The idea is to eat fatty meat.

[@anand0212]

@@EricaBassi99 that still doesn't seem like it would be adequate. When I try doing keto, I can never get enough fat from meat. I need to add other sources like butter, olive oil, avocados, cheese, etc. I'm curious whether the carnivore diet is supposed to be approximately equivalent to a keto diet. If so, where does the fat come from? Or is it supposed to be just a high protein diet with some fat and no carbs (more like Atkins, I think)?

[@angelat17]

Steak and butter gal suggests adding more butter to your steak. (Or eat butter on the side) I sear my steak in tallow to increase fat.

[@ka-barsmom1456]

I believe Dr. Chaffee has his ground beef made special (private rancher in Australia) and it’s 50/50, to specifically increase the fat ratio.

[@EricaBassi99]

@@anand0212 butter can be melted into drinks. And you can ask butchers to reserve fat for you. Egg yolks are high fat, also.

Did it cure the disease?

[@rebeccabriggs2982]

@RatMother for the first time in about 6 years I went for 6+ months with no issues. It was bliss. Was eating 70% meat, lots of beef, cut grains, nuts, seeds, chocolate etc. Recently tried reintroducing some of those and boom... sick as. Awful.

[@aleksandrazimpel8097]

I’m 6 years now(90% carnivore) and gradually I healed my sores, don’t get them on my mouth anymore. I only get tiny spot in one of my nostrils, last one was many months ago I forgot even when. Recently though I decided to quit fruits and eat much less nuts. I also eat pork with all the fat and skin, always. I’m doing great on pork. I was born in Poland and pork was always a staple meat there ( with boiled potatoes and sauerkraut 😂)

[@estherruth4692]

Me too! I drink mine with breakfast and I have an egg yolk and butter in my cup and froth it up with the coffee like a latte. I don’t need or want the caffeine but I like drinking a latte. I have dandy blend too, but I don’t know which one is less bad - decaf coffee or dandelion/chicory root “coffee”.

[@Kim-eh2ov]

Read somewhere that decaff is worse for you then regular because of the chemical/high processing of the decaff 🤷

I can imagine perhaps to lose weight in the short term. The carnivore diet could be handy. But in the long term, it’s not very logical. All you have to do is look at your teeth humans. Your teeth dictate more Hous teeth or flat teeth versus pointed teeth or carnivorous teeth. Look at other primates. if you only eat all meat. I don’t think you’re going to live along life. It’s not. Our bodies were designed to hunt and gather all day long eating primarily. Vegetation. And just because we don’t have to hunt anymore to obtain as much meat as we want. Doesn’t change her physiology.

Gorillas are vegan and they have big fangs!

[@DaveIrish66]

Tell me why someone's lifespan would be shortened? Because they are stabilizing insulin levels ? Decreasing inflammation? Reversing insulin resistance? Yeah, I can see your point

[@aimeegunderson6852]

The argument is we have short digestive tracts while gorilla's are very large. There have been people on carnivore 60+ years.

[@neilnewinger3059]

I am amazed. Why people spend so much time speculating about all kind of details and excuses, when it is so easy to try it for one month? People are doing carnivore for many years or even decades and they have good results. So one month to find out will not kill anybody. I did not lose any weight, I actually gained weight in the form of muscles. The biggest benefit was getting rid of several unpleasant health issues like psoriasis, acid reflux, palpitations ... and I doubt very much that for living longer I would necessary need them. Teeth I have are good enough to chew all meat I want, so why would I need different teeth? There is no selective pressure to change our teeth. We do not use them to hunt and kill like lions.

[@alejandropacello8188]

No. You are completly wrong. Dr Chaffee has an excelent video in this chanel about this and You should watch it. The title is "why we are carnivores". Watch it and stop trying to find excuses.

[@trock7520]

Seems a little dogmatic to criticize people for drinking coffee or electrolytes or cheese with carnivore.

[@KevboKev]

How so? I do drink coffee every day, and I salt the shit out of my beef, and I eat cheese. However, coffee is not carnivore. I understand that. And although cheese COMES from the dairy of an animal, I actually don't agree that it's carnivore either, as it's not meat.
