Ep:15 Ketogenic Rules for: Eating Animal Products

I'm 72 now and wish I had heard all this 50 years ago my health would be so much different today. Because of Doctors like you I have changed so much in my diet as you discuss. At 72 I am on no prescription meds at all. All because of the diet change to Keto and Carnivore way of eating. God Bless you and other Doctors like you.

Great job William. You did the best you could.

[@EveStuart-s5n]

I’m sooooo glad that you bought up the ethical argument about how sustainable it is to eat meat vs vegetables - thank you for your videos I love your no bullshit presentation of the facts...

[@judylloyd7901]

BRought* up 😊 (Bought = to buy)

[@marilyngoldie5946]

The only question I have about this, is if replacing The Amazon (for instance) with fields of cattle is environmentally sustainable or not? Perhaps this comes back to how much we eat everyday. Listening to Dr Cywers made me realise less is more if it is the correct food type. So if everyone ate this way, maybe less land would be needed for farms to be filled with cattle or sheep etc.

[@frenchgrama]

@@marilyngoldie5946Everyone is so caught up on how many forests are being felled for animal grazing BUT no one ever talks about how many acres and acres of trees were felled to plant grains, vegetables and fruits worldwide - AND the precious water needed to irrigate them for the sooo few nutrients they provide - all grains, fruit and vegetables are is energy whereas protein is a complete food when the animals are grazed AND we need only 2 small protein based meals (along with the fat that comes with the meat) daily to thrive compared to the massive quantities of vegetables, grains and fruit people eat to feel full.

[@marilyngoldie5946]

@@frenchgrama Thank you for your civil response. I can use your information to counter vegan or vegetarian arguments against meat eaters. I am new to this and only found Dr Cywers a week ago. Cleaned out my pantry of most carb food. Next shop will be different. Again thanks for your comment.

[@frenchgrama]

@@marilyngoldie5946 From a medical point of view long term vegans and vegetarians are malnourished- it’s next to impossible for them to eat enough food on a daily basis to provide the nutrition they would get from animal protein - in particular haem iron which is a necessary mineral, it’s used to make red blood cells which carry oxygen around the body and it also contributes to normal cognitive function and you can ONLY get it from animal protein. Long term vegans and vegetarians are constantly tired and because they are deprived of haem iron they really don’t have as good cognitive function as people who eat adequate amounts of protein. It’s impossible to get through to vegans and vegetarians about how important animal protein is because they are soooo irrational and refuse to even contemplate that they are malnourished because they can’t remember what it’s like to feel good and healthy… I wouldn’t waste my breath trying to convince them of anything. There is soooo much precious land and water being depleted and wasted to grow grains, vegetables and fruits than there is being used for grazing animals - it’s the vegans destroying the planet not the carnivores…. I’m very sad to say that it’s very political (and I’m very apolitical) and it’s all about the money…

my first keto was in 2009 ... and all what you've said was basically the same what i figured out on my own... it is so nice to hear that from a Dr. who does not try to make me vegan just because it's a trend. Omni-carnivore is the same what i would say i am... and i sometimes eat ever other day or once every three days.. im not even hungry ... and still i have 220 pounds (mostly muscles) 6,4" tall and just want to burn off my last few fat pounds on the belly... SUGAR AND CARBS ARE WORSE THAN COCAINE AND HEROINE TOGETHER! ... you can eat them... but be awar that they're not healthy...

[@Jeff.78]

Sugar is the real gateway drug. Deny it to a child and they lose their minds. I'm 42 and I wish I knew this 20 years ago. Regardless, I'm down 55lb and 8" on my waist just by not eating any carbs. Congrats on you success! It's not easy, but it's possible 👍

[@h.hickenanaduk8622]

If for some reason a person feels some guilt over being born into a world where life feeds on life, perhaps it would help to do as our ancestors did 100s of thousands of years ago and say a word of thanks or perform some rite of gratitude to the animal spirit. This is much more than any vegan I've ever met will do.

[@tribalbabymum]

I do that. A simple thanks for their sacrifice

[@lyns2686]

I don't like eating animals for that reason, but have to remember it's a part of life. Even animals eat animals and we've eaten animals for hundreds, if not millions, of years. I eat beef, mostly because it's good for you, and I like it. I also eat sardines for the same reason, but I thank them for their nutrition before eating them. However, I can't eat any animal I could think of as a pet, such as lambs. I've never eaten and will never be able to eat that. I don't eat rabbits or squirrels- there's a long list. A lot of people love lamb and thats their choice. I certainly don't judge anyone by what they do or don't eat. I'm a major animal lover and that's why it is hard for me, but I do eat beef as it's good for you. I'm certainly not going to eat animal meat made in a lab. I remember when they made packaged hamburger that they sold on a grocery store shelf. Apparently, most people were smart enough not to buy it as it didn't last long and, thankfully, disappeared. It does break my heart that so many small animals are killed on land for growing vegetables. One time a guy wrote that in plowing the land for companies, he hated getting to the end and seeing all the dead animals killed by his machine. I didn't even know that happened, so it was sad. They were just killed for no reason - they weren't eaten. They were just "in the way."

Thank you Dr Cywes! I had a long journey having been diagnosed as T2 prediabetic. Started on the usual meds (metformin, losartan, statin) then found the keto community on youtube. I've was having digestive issues and still couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. It was when I stumbled upon Dr Berry's video with you that opened my eyes to the carnivore diet. It definitely opened my eyes as it never dawned on me that there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate for us humans. I have been carnivore for 2 weeks now and I must say after a few days of diarrhea my digestive issues that I used to have are gone now. I enjoy your videos and I find them to be an abundance of untapped knowledge that everyone needs to see for themselves. Thank you for your work and your passion. We need more doctors like you

Dr. Ken Berry sent me from his channel and this is the first video I've watched. Dr. Cywes, hearing you speak of the egg blew my mind, cuz I look at them the same way. They're truly a magical vitamin powerhouse, simply because it's the base for creating another animal🐣 I dumbed down my diet and came up with a catchy anagram, S.O.M.E., Sunshine, Organs, Meat, Eggs...or, M.O.E.S., cuz word association helps me and it gives my mind a fun little game to play as I work. I've been fairly successful, but sugar addiction is quite a fickle Mistress. I'm 42, down 55lbs and 8" in 8 months 👍 I'd be farther along, but I'm human.

[@CatCambak]

To be honest I’ve been on a carnivore diet for years and when I added fat to everything I ended up gaining weight. When I started eating very lean just the protein I slimmed back down. I’d be careful adding all that fat. In the wild the animals we ate would have been lean and not enough organs or liver to be eaten on a daily basis same with eggs.

[@Zeus-rq5wn]

Animals in the wild were lean out of season and fat in season. My ducks took it upon themselves to lay more eggs than we could dispose of. Your statement is inaccurate.

[@Ev-vh3pf]

I love liver, beef, chicken, lamb, it's fantastic. I also like beef kidney & heart if it's done right. Steak and Kidney pie is fantastic. My hubby bought me 1/2 a cow for Christmas, we made sure to ask for the liver, heart, kidneys and 2-4lbs of suet. It's the best beef I've ever eaten.

You make complete sense and am a fan. However, would this diet work for an almost 19 year old male that is hugely underweight, has low cortisol issues, chronic fatigue, under-developed and had leukaemia when was a toddler. He’s always done lots of exercise before finished school and always excelled at them (very diverse) as was all round very fit but when he hit 14 the signs were showing. He’s been on the protocol for low cortisol and low growth but didn’t work (other doctors said it doesn’t work). His diet is good cos he’s no longer eats processed food as don’t go out. So I wonder if this diet would eventually fix some of the problems he’s experiencing?😊

Remember each time you eat something, anything your blood sugar rises, so, if you're snacking and eating off and on all day your blood sugar is always going to be higher. Try to eat larger meals and one or two times a day. That's what it took for me. I've gone from 8.5 to 4.6. It can be done, you just have to find the right pattern of eating for you. Try different things, you'll find it.

I don't like to feel very full, I'm happy with "not hungry" and I'm quickly satiated, Because of this I think just 1-2 meals a day will keep me from being hungry the rest of the clock. I was on Keto (of a very close type to what Dr Cywes advocates) a few years back and felt fantastic on it, but I wasn't told 1-2 meals a day.

[@steelmacecontinuum8696]

This is mind opening talk, thnx!

[@BeautifulGood713]

Thanks I needed this refresher. Been keto/low carb for 10 months & stalled at 40 lbs down. I dialed back the saturated fats & started snacking. Been a long time since I’ve had that leptin signal of satiety which makes fasting a breeze

[@Ironclad6661]

When that happens to me I dial back the amount of protein. For me if I eat too much it turns to sugar and then I lose the leptin signal. I stalled on Keto too around 30 pounds lost and I went with 6-8 oz portions of proteins, upped fat and went fasting 18 hours with 6 eating window and I was good again. I was not hungry and waking up not hungry and able to jump start my loss. Now I am down 55 pounds and down another 7.5 in the last month. Most people can't eat endless amounts of protein without it converting to some amount of sugar. That's not easy to do but for some it's very easy. You might dial back the protein and go back to more fat do less snacking and more fasting. See if that works.

When eating primarily protein and fat to satiety (& not considering calories) what if you find you can only comfortably eat 800-1000 calories per day? Is that OK if you have significant fat to lose? And will the body naturally increase your tolerance for higher amounts of fat & protein intake as your body fat decreases?

[@TheKingdomWeigh]

Omnivore keeps the peace. I’m the same for the most part. At work and home or with most family I eat just meat. But with certain people when I’m out I’ll get a cesaer salad without croutons with grilled chicken (and usually don’t eat all the salad) or at least throw a non starchy veggie on my plate. It keeps them happy to eat that and the restaurants I go to mostly are carb heavy so it’s the only thing that most restaurants have that I would even consider. ps. Today is my first day with black coffee (no cream). I would like to drop 10lbs ‘cause I’m at the high end of normal BMI If Dr Cwyes can do it so can I.

I have two kids, my daughter eats wonderfully. Fish, meat, eggs everyday for breakfast. 6 days out of 7 I cook simple, home cooked meals but my 6 year old is the total opposite. He spends almost half his time with his dad's family and they feed him so much rubbish, sweets, crisps and everything is processed, he asks for food and he gets it, ice lollies, cheap ramen noodles, processed freezer food like nuggets. He had a whole packet of mints the other day when I picked him up 'for the journey home' and they won't listen to me when I ask them not to. When he's at home the only 'real' food I get him to eat is beef,plain roast chicken and butter if it's on toast. Won't touch eggs, or cheese or anything fatty or creamy like real yoghurt. He asks for food constantly, and even gets shaky without his sugar fix it's awful, he gets really hyper too. Any good I do is undone when he goes to his dad/grandma's and I worry so much. As his mother i feel like I am failing him with his terrible diet. Any advice anyone?

[@TerriblePerfection]

Yes, as a parent I do, although you might not like it: Don't make food an issue with your son or his grandparents. You can model a healthy diet by what you eat and what you bring into the house, but that should be the extent of it, in my opinion. We can only control so much as parents, and sometimes our desire to control causes unintended and harmful consequences. Our two children are now grown, and one has been a vegan several times. I keep my mouth shut and we respect each other's food choices. I do find it interesting though that my daughter keeps going back to vegetarianism. She clearly needs the fat! Good luck with your son. Meals shouldn't be a chore, but rather a pleasure. And you want peace with his clueless grandparents.

The Asians on a high noodle or rice diet do not eat the same way we do. They do not eat till full - their tradition is to stop at 80%. They do not snack on carbs all day long. They do not eat processed foods . They have extended fasting time everyday. As soon as Asians adopt a western lifestyle and diet, they gain weight.

Love your sensible advice. One of the hardest parts of eating out is dealing with the “sides” that you pay for even if you don’t want. Understanding that vegetables once in a while are not going to throw me for a loop is a huge relief. (I can be a bit anal about diet sometimes.)

I ask for burgers without the bun, and for steak I ask the server to skip the veggies. In one restaurant, there was an option for a women's steak or a men's steak. Aside from the sexism, even the men's was barely enough! We carnivores can pack it away!
