Sounds like the perfect meal would be a meat loaf made from grass fed ground beef, liver, eggs and cheese. Works for me

[@dshey6802]

One of the most valuable ideas I have ever heard in a diet program (it was Weight Watchers in 1975) was HOW to eat liver if you cannot eat it the traditional way of cooking it and consuming it by putting it in your mouth and chewing and swallowing it. Instead cook liver in a moderate way (pan fry it gently, or, bake it gently--that way it stays tender and more nutritious). Let the cooked liver cool, so that you can handle it comfortably. Then cut the cooked pieces up into pill sized pieces--the size of a magnesium pill for example. Then spread the cut up pieces on a baking sheet that has sides. Then pop the pan into the freezer. When the pieces are frozen put them into freezer bags. Back in the freezer goes the cooked liver now in a bag. Consume your required weekly amount of liver with a glass of water--like swallowing a large pill.

[@deirdrewalsh1134]

Pate is easier for me. 🇦🇺

[@travelinggirl6681]

Great idea! Do you have any idea how many of these little pieces a person would need to ingest? I really don't think I could eat it for a meal.

[@HuFlungDung2]

Dice up bacon and liver, and saute for 1/2 an hour until the water has evaporated. Don't fry it because it gets tough. Add spices while it is cooking: garlic, pepper, salt, onions, chili powder, Experiment a bit, most people seem to think you have to eat liver like a slice of bacon.

I went keto in March and within 3 weeks I began having leg muscle cramps when I had none before (on SAD). I went carnivore in May but the cramps stayed. I have added Keto Chow Daily Minerals plus a magnesium supplement and can now sleep most nights without the cramps.

[@codniggh1139]

You only had to take electrolites, I buy a beverage for 1.20 dollars and that's all you need.

[@honkymonkey9568]

I had the same problem with cramps. I started making myself drink at least 2 liters of water every day and the cramps went away. The way it was explained to me is that our thirst reflex was "trained" for years to a SAD diet eating high water content foods like fruits and vegetables. But when we become carnivores, we're lacking the water we used to get.

[@kevintappminville195]

@@codniggh1139 Sleeplessness is often related to histamin response. Magnesium is needed to synthesis Diamine Oxydase which breaks down histamine. The Keto Chow he's referring to HIS an electrolyte supplement...

[@fatillacing4131]

Same. For immediate relief used spray on magnesium and rubbed it in.

[@Malcolm-Achtman]

Near the end of the video Dr. Cywes again repeats the question, "How did we ever exist as a species" (without a vitamin store nearby)? Some other "experts" I follow, like Dr. William Davis, explain that we need magnesium supplementation because the mineral content that ancient predecessors readily obtained from natural drinking water is not present in the sort of "industrial" treated water we drink today. With respect to vitamin D, Dr. Cywes lives in Florida and can probably get enough sunshine to provide him with a reasonably good vitamin D3 level. Many people, like me, live in colder areas so I believe that taking vitamin D3 is useful in many cases. Dr. Davis advocates iodine supplementation (not much, say 200 mcg/day) to support the thyroid. I believe that has merit for many people. I agree, however, with Dr. Cywes that we are generally oversold on the need for supplements.

[@brettwheeler7753]

About two minutes a day outside is plenty to trigger vitamin D production.

[@lizellehattingh281]

Dr Paul Mason suggests 30 minutes in the sun during the day when your shadow is as long as you are tall😊

[@Malcolm-Achtman]

@@lizellehattingh281 This might depend on how much of your skin is exposed and what clothing you are wearing. When I golf in the summer (e.g. 2 hours to play 9 holes) I am probably not getting much benefit from the sun since I am wearing a golf shirt, long pants and a hat.

I've been carnivore almost three months. I take magnesium, potassium with a little vitamin D and C No more leg cramps. And liberal with salt!

[@enidcronin9704]

I take vitamin d3 and k2. But here in the UK at this time of year we are lucky to see the sun and currently sunset is 15 50hours. I do get my Vitamin d checked and although normal ( due to supplementation) it tends to be on the low side of normal. As I'm a 65years old female I am concerned about the increased risk of fractures. I don't take Calcium as a friend who is a frailty consultant says I can get adequate calcium from my diet. That's my sum total of supplements. Going Keto over 2years ago has improved my blood work enormously.

[@mikafoxx2717]

If you're worried about fractures, the only guaranteed way to oversee bone density is strength training. You body is smart, and if the muscles aren't strong, the bones won't be either. Usually the same protien breakdown also breaks down bone. Eat plenty of protein and put some (slow & gentle) stress on those muscles, bones, and joints, and they'll grow and strengthen in response.

[@elizabethconnolly3260]

I do the same. I have a diagnosis of osteopenia. I hope you have had a dexa scan - necessary to determine bone density. It’s at least a benchmark of where you are right now. Mika is right, strength training is vital to bone health. I’m trying to incorporate it now. Carnivore for 1-1/2 years now, so hoping I see improvement with that too.

[@olderandwiser127]

Keep in mind that D is not a vitamin but a pro-hormone, therefore LDL cholesterol is essential in its synthesis.

I suffered from severe Rheumatoid Arthritis for 30+ years. One day I heard of a crazy doctor from Brazil who believed all auto immune health problems stem from a Vitamin D3 resistance. So following his protocol I learned how much Vitamin D3 to take as well as Vitamin K2 MK7 in order to prevent hypercalcemia. Well this is my third year free of any Rheumatoid arthritis flares. The disease appears to have gone into remission. Oh and as a side benefit, I truly believe this was due to the leading of the Holy Spirit. This all happened just before Covid struck. So the worst I got was a minor fever for about ten days! Thank You Jesus ! So in certain circumstances the good Dr is wrong. Many of these modern supplements are just as powerful and in fact helpful as modern medicines drugs !

[@steffanrhoads1870]

the K2 protocol requires both D3 & A

[@michaelbradley6004]

So glad that is working for you. God bless you! ❤

[@olderandwiser127]

D is not a vitamin but a pro-hormone. LDL is essential in the synthesis of pro-hormone D. In othervwords, consuming saturated fat is key. You do not need synthetic supplements which have become as addictive and toxic as drugs.

[@zamfirtoth6441]

@michaelstrunk4609, my observations are the same. I have seen many anecdotes of vegan AND junk food dieters that take as much as 10000 units of D3, k2 daily that still have vit D levels below 30. You need the saturated fat...or something, in animal foods. We can't outsmart nature.

[@mariepaulegil2233]

About supplements though it could be argued that soils nutrients depletion may cause meats and vegetables to be deficient in minerals and vitamins ( we don’t all live on those plains in Africa far from any GNC store ; a lot of us live in industrialized countries where agriculture has been intensive for decades or more and soils not so fertile anymore ) so isn’t there some ground for at least some form of supplementation ? Take vitamin C for instance , isn’t it essential in the way collagen metabolizes and isn’t collagen the most predominant protein needed to build tissues ? Some people may need more of it especially people who suffer from genetic conditions affecting connective tissues ( seldom diagnosed but not so uncommon either ) It all depends on how healthy you are to start with doesn’t it ? Genetics are as important as environmental causes and diet for some of us . Reflecting on this video that I nonetheless appreciate . Thank you .

[@JYAN2852]

Salt is a supplement consisting of sodium and chloride. It's not just a flavor enhancer. The quality of meats matter. Most micronutrients come only in proteins, which many tend to under eat. We can store fat soluble vitamins but not water soluble ones. It's best to go off symptoms, make dietary changes and supplement as needed.

[@powerguiller]

But nobody can afford a kilo of grassfed meat per day to maintain their optimal magnesium level.

[@JYAN2852]

@@powerguiller Agree. Neither can I. This is something that Rob doesn't address in this video. Supplementation is not only cheaper but no other option for some who need to. Blood tests are not accurate cannot measure any deficiencies inside cells

[@Schachtens]

Most people that go carnivore and don't have much money will stop drinking and smoking. There'll be plenty of room for just meat. And also the cheap stuff is not such a big issue as carbs and vegetables are. It's in any way better than before whatsoever.

I'm 66 and have been on a keto diet (Dr. Berg) since 2017 and was recently diagnosed hypothyroid. I thought the reason I was cold all the time was because I was on keto! My physician's assistant, seeing I prefer to address things without medication, suggested some new supplements, so I'm taking Vitamin C, zinc, adrenal cortex, B12, a whole B complex, and half a dozen others. I just had my 3-month blood test checkup; I see her next Thursday for the results. I don't want to take thyroid hormones. I'm also using red light therapy, shining that on my face and neck every morning. I'm located in the Pacific Northwest, and today, a typical day, was in the 30s and foggy & gray all day. I'm thrilled to be able to give myself the benefits of sunlight on a day like today. I also feel great! I have actual energy!

Good morning Dr. I was carnivore with supplements for 6 months and I found you on KZbin. And thank you for your videos. I now am ketovore and I drink milk and I eat a bit of fruit during a week and veg. I healed my eye disease with animal protein which I am grateful for but carnivore is worsening my lab work. My goal is to get my lab work back to where it was during the ketogenic diet. Thank you so much ❤

Thank you for this video. I’ve been struggling to let go of my supplements because I’ve been taking so many for so long! I’m keeping my menopause supplement, cranberry for uti health (since hitting menopause I’ve had several uti’s and the cranberry keeps it clear) and an omega 3.

Here's something I think is worth considering. We also didn't have in the past all the elements were up against in today's modern era like pfbs, air pollutants, blue light, emulsifiers, seed oils, unnatural stress, etc. the list goes on forever. Maybe this bears some rationale for taking some supplements at a minimum? I have to agree with you on supplementing for deficiency but that relies on the test that's used and getting something all inclusive is unheard of by common day people, so I have to really ask are we considering every factor and I believe in studies it's sometimes hard to control for every variable and what we call fairly precise can still be a football field or more away theoretically. Any thoughts? Definitely love your view on the overun micros from demand. That makes sense to me. Love the video and have been sharing. Continue on with making great videos to watch and for us to consider the valuable perspectives inside 💠

I have been leaning towards this very position, its good to hear from a doctor I am on the right track. I used to spend hundreds of dollars a month on supplements, now I am thinking of just taking iodine and fish oil as I am not a seafood fan. I like the idea of mixing liver into hamburgers, maybe I can stomach that. Thanks for the info!

[@trentonharris7676]

There is plenty of Iodine and omega-3 fatty acids in pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed meat. Fish oils are dangerous.

For me, pasteurized dairy promotes PCVs. Butter too, but ghee is ok. Raw cheese seems fine but haven't tried raw milk yet, as it is expensive and hard to come by.

[@KnackFarmer-theanswerismeat]

I find the particularly interesting thing about the 'urging' for supplementation, in isolation from any form of individual assessment but rather relying on the US RDI guidelines (!!), is that our ancestors not only wouldn't find a GNC behind the last bush on the left, but also did NOT consume food daily. Yes, when they did hunt successfully, there would be periods of feasting, however it's clear there were also periods of fasting. So they didn't get the 2.4mcg of B12 from mastadon liver too regularly. And yet, here WE are -- so obviously enough lived long enough to procreate and raise children. I was concerned when I first introduced TRE (18:6) that I wouldn't strictly eat ENOUGH of the high quality whole foods I consume to meet the daily RDI. But other than a need to get out of the kitchen lab and into the sun for a few more minutes each day to bump up the D, I'm confident my macro and micro nutrient needs are being well met on my low carb, mod protein (grass fed, grass finished beef, organic other), good quality fats regime. 61, NO illness chronic or otherwise, lean, HAPPY!

[@mathfaster]

Speaking of Ivor, in his book he recommends Vitamin D and magnesium. Can't remember if he recommended anything else. Because of the limited variety of animal foods modern day man eats there is some suggestion we don't get enough taurine and glycine.

[@ranlove47]

Love your videos, however I’m gonna have to disagree about D3. Most of us don’t have enough in their system and supplement is necessary especially in the winter when we are bundled up trying to stay warm. I am 76 in good health and take 20,000 IU in the winter and 10,000iu in the summer. My tested blood level is 153. Since I started this level 2 years ago my semi yearly strep and flu episodes have disappeared. I also take quercetin and zinc. I grew up on liver dinners and milk. Currently eating 2 eggs, sausage and one slice of toast for breakfast 5 times a week.

I never heard the connection between eggs and liver before. I don't think I'll ever eat liver, but I do eat eggs. I guess I'm not missing as much as I thought I was. I've used the liver supplement when I was vegan and was going to buy it again, but maybe I don't really need it if I'm eating plenty of eggs now.

[@sandrad518]

Great video, thank you. I just don't agree at all that anyone other than someone who works in the sun all day, no sunblock, gets enough Vit D. We didn't start out having homes with all the conveniences and jobs that keep us inside all day. The recommended levels were established to prevent Rickets disease. You should be about 50 ng/ml or 150 nmol/L. The average person needs about 5k iu a day, more if you're overweight to reach those levels. Vit K2-mk7 approx 100mg a day (or eat fermented foods, Natto is best) is also important to make sure calcium is distributed to bones and teeth instead of building up in blood vessels. Fermented foods (not pickled, no vinegar is used) also has many other natural health benefits, so I would recommend you go that route. I've been doing tons of research the last 4 years, but please don't just take my word for it, do your own research.

[@kassy481]

I take supplements to bring cortisol down at night, so that I can sleep. In the am, I take several supplements recommended by my naturopath. I agree about eggs. Even when I went a bit vegan in my 20's, I still ate eggs, butter, and added dairy during my three pregnancies.

You can laso take creatine if you exercise. I am taking TUDCa and malic acid because I bought them to my mother because her gallbladder stones, and even that I have been low carb some years, but sometimes I eat a lot of carbs, this has helped me a lot to lose a lot of fat. that mali acid makes me feel my muscles very strong like If i Were full of energy. For terapheutic reasons, I would recommend to consume billiar salts and malic acid when you begin your swith to low carb, even young people has this very lazy and problematic.

[@Youreout]

I listen to you often and you always mention that salt doesn't fudge with BP. Well, I'm here to tell you that it fudges with mine. I test every morning after pissin' and it's elevated based on how much salt I eat the night before. I eat two times a day ( once a day in the summer) break fast after 16 to 20 hours ( I mix it up based on lifestyle.) I eat sauerkraut and sardines a lot but have to rinse the salt as much as possible just to get my BP below 130/85. If I eat salmon or halibut with minimal Celtic salt, bp is sometimes below 117/78. At least I'm off the bp meds ole' doc wants me on. I canned the metformin too! I'm soon to be 69 and feeling pretty darn good!

Fish Oil for omega-3 fatty acid is a supplement I am taking, too! And I take co-enzyme B complex because of a slight concern about thiamine deficiency. I am considering taking an iodine supplement. as my iodine skin swab test is rapidly fading....

Can I ask what kind of fish oil you bought to take? I started the diet seven days ago I’m taking K2 and D I’m taking iodine drops but I’ve been watching this episode and a lot of your comments on this and fish oil seems to be a big deal. Thank you.

[@barbarabarlow3185]

I too am concerned about thiamine B1 deficiency, as I believe mine was depleted fighting covid, I'm keto/carnivore and have been for 5 years but as I'm 65 there have been many years before of a UK diet high in sugar/carbs, (only a few pounds over BMI weight) although I generally also ate the good stuff. From what I understand now of the need for thiamine to turn our food into energy, I was not taking in enough food with thiamine in high doses. Now have chronic fatigue and fighting it with B1 supplements re Elliot Overton - youtube. I also take co-q10 because I thought that might help. The list to fight long covid is crazy long, but I found the big benefit was Carnivore, cutting out oxalates, Best of health to you.
