I came to carnivore to try to regain my health. At 62, I had tried all the “healthy” foods… lots of green leafy vegetables, smoothies, super foods, organic homemade soups, herbs, homemade bread, snd desserts with the best ingredients, etc. My symptoms just got worse. My guts were a major issue, heartburn every night and reflux getting more frequent. I had aches in my knees, so I couldn’t walk much. I also had major anxiety and depression. I felt crazy,at times. I was gaining weight. I couldn’t figure out why…since I thought I ate healthier than most people I knew. When I heard about carnivore last summer, I watched a bunch of videos, read some books, and finally felt compelled to try carnivore. I basically did it cold turkey. I completely changed my diet overnight. That’s how I prefer to make changes. I also quit drinking alcohol at the same time. It was rough for awhile. But I was committed. I had to go to my room when my hubby would start snacking on his chips, pretzels, goodies or nuts… I still have to do that occasionally…but mostly none of that junk appeals to me. I don’t consider it to be food. It pains me to watch my family and friends eating and drinking all that garbage that I know is soo bad for them…especially my little granddaughters who are obviously addicted to sugary snacks. I I wanted to shout it from the rooftops how great this way of eating made me feel! I lost 30 lbs with no effort at all… only my change in eating. I am down to my weight of my early 20’s. .. Everyone questioned my crazy new way of eating and feared for my health …all the while shoving goodies, snacks and alcohol into their mouths. So ridiculous and brainwashed we have all been! Anyway, I would tell everyone to try it for a few months… it’s not easy… but you will look and feel and be a hundred times better. You will love the ease of it. I still love and appreciate the steak I eat almost everyday. Watching and listening to all the carnivore channels..the doctors and everyday people…really really helps keep me on track and feel like part of a community, since no one in my life eats this way. Good luck to all who are brave enough snd smart enough to give it a try!! Happy New Year 🎊 🥩 🍳 💪🏼

[@cleancarnivore]

sslexus What an incredible comment and testimony. I am richer for having read it! The longer you stay with this way of eating, the more impact you will have on the people you love and care about most. I encourage you not to waiver, but to reach out to the community to overcome whatever struggles come your way.

[@Deepseaotter]

Love your story, and can underline all your sentiments! After going carnivore I’ve now lost some 80 pounds of unwanted, unneeded weight! I truly feel better now than I’ve felt in decades! I’m gonna keep on truckin with this superior way of life, and believe you will do the same!

[@victoriar9728]

I love watching people sharing their stories! It is amazing how eating meat gives you control over your appetite! I am not at all tempted even facing a buffet table! I lost all my cravings for carbs, sweets, breads, rice, even the "healthy plant based like sweet potatoes, etc. " I can eat beef, eggs, butter , sardines and I am very happy. My only vice is coffee:) I have more energy at age 63 than the previous 30 years past... and I am happy , no more 'hangry' episodes. I am healthier and I am exercising a little now. I did not exercise apart from walking! But now I can do squats :)

[@cleancarnivore]

@victoriar9728 It is indeed like getting a new lease on life. Happy for your progress and new mastery over the food you eat.

Hi Victoria..that’s awesome I’m still having cravings but not as much… how long did it take you to overcome carb addiction any tips thank you

[@user-fq1oj2tr3v]

How long have you been totally off carbs? For me it's been three weeks and the cravings are going away. It helps to think of them as poisonous nonfoods. I'm hoping someday I will feel the same about carbs as I came to feel about cigarettes which is that I can hardly believe I ever smoked at all. Gross. I still have a reserve cigarette from years ago, just in case, that I forgot about. Now I have some homemade fudge that I will put away in the freezer. If I can forget about that I will know I'm really over the addiction. I've never in my life not been acutely aware of every smidge of chocolate in my house. If it is a single m&m I could tell you where it is. Good luck!

[@arthurfonzarelli9828]

Your guest nailed it, it's all about finding the truth. Once you discover they have lied about one thing it opens the door too all the other stuff they've lied about. Once you've seen it you can't unsee it

A classic!

[@artsiecrafty4164]

I found out the hard way. Ten years low carb/keto. Then six weeks carnivore. I had an eye exam and found out that I have ARMD. Saw on KZbin that I should eat a cup of steamed spinach every day. Two weeks of that and I got the most severe back pain. My back has always been a problem, but this was severe. I couldn’t roll over in bed without severe pain. Two weeks of that with many anti inflammatory supplements when I finally figured it out that I needed to stop the spinach. Pain disappeared in six days.

[@JennifertxCarnivore]

Great video Kerry! We need more videos showing people in their 70’s and later years on carnivore to help those in that age range switch to carnivore. ☺️👍🏻 Have a great dsy Kerry! ☺️

[@cleancarnivore]

@JennifertxCarnivore Kerry is doing a great job getting the message out, even among the Boomers. If my generation understood how simple it was to reclaim their health., "What a wonderful world it would be!"❤

KZbin channel called Old Man carnivore is probably one of the better KZbin channels I've seen any he's 76 and a half years old

[@carlacaliri5385]

​@@arthurfonzarelli9828 Totally agree with you. Old Guy Carnivore is such a pleasure to watch & inspiring especially due to his age! I'm trying to find many more examples of older ones who can hopefully motivate, encourage or inspire my in laws that are in their 80's to at least look into this. I tell them they can do anything for just 30 days & they'd be surprised at the remarkable positive changes they'd experience. They've seen & heard my own personal change since I became Keto a decade ago & now Carnivore the past few years. They're fascinated at my transformation but always hint that their too old to change. I say they're NOT! They're super lean but not healthy. Joints hurt, they're forgetful, have constant arthritic pains, balance issues etc. I will lovingly share some of these interviews & experiences with them to hopefully help them see it's NEVER too late. Love this video and many more. Meat on. Heal on everyone!. 🍖 🥓 🥩 🧈🍳 🦞 🦀 🐟🦐

[@stanrobertson]

Kerry, a big reason why the Carnivore message is spreading is because of you! I don't want to give you a swollen head from this, but when you came on the scene, you encouraged others to start their own KZbin channels, and promoted their sites. You have been willing to appear on many people's channels, and have them on yours, and not to mention the groundswell you generated behind the Healing Humanity documentary!

[@cleancarnivore]

Stan, I could not agree more wholeheartedly! Kerry's channel has exploded.

[@EarmuffHugger]

A TRUE LEGEND 👍

[@user-fq1oj2tr3v]

Has the documentary come out?

[@stanrobertson]

No, the doc is covering the stories of a number of individuals and following them for a year, and filming doctors and other experts. Then there is the editing, color processing, promotion, etc. It is hard to wait for it, but it has to be done right to get to a wide audience. Kerry is working on a "Torch" as a pitch to studios such as Angel Studios - and you will be givien an opportunity to vote for them to put in their funding.

Wow great vid guys!! I 100% agree with everything talked about here! I can't have any tastes of anything non carnivore because I am so dang addicted to all the no no foods plus beer. Beer was my liquid bread with a good kick when I was intermittant/extended fasting while doing dirty ketovore for 6 years. 65 yr old and January 6 will be 7 mo of pure carnivore with no cheats. I love this WOE and way of life.

[@cleancarnivore]

@MareZeeDotes111 Great testimony! Having dry holidays after so many were ruined by alcohol is a blessing. Being the weight I am and being able to avoid all the mountains of carbs is another blessing

[@allyc9497]

Kerry you made me laugh! I still do a little happy dance with the first bite of steak. 2 years later, still not bored! Mmmmm steak 😍

[@CarnivoreCheer-ib7oc]

I never get bored with steak, or ground beef! Or eggs. 🥚🥩🥓

[@Deepseaotter]

Happened upon this video and just had to watch it! 😊 Wonderful to hear you’ve both benefited from this way of life! A few years ago a daughter-in-law talked me into trying plant based whole foods and she thought it would help my health, and help me lose the excess weight I was carrying. Ok, after doing the aforementioned plant based diet for nearly a year, I couldn’t stand it any longer! I quit, couldn’t stand mushroom burgers etc anymore!!! About a year ago I was watching KZbin and happened upon Ken Berry and nurse Neisha, and listened to what they had to say! It reminded me of a high protein diet I had been on as a teenager, and had success with, so I thought, “Why not try this, it just might work! Nothing to lose in trying! So I began, and to cut this short, after a year I’ve lost 75+ pounds, have much more energy, and feel better than I have in literally decades! Still working on losing the last 35 pounds, but I’ll get there! Blood pressure higher than I’d like it to be, and I feel losing the rest just might change that issue! Anyway people, if you actually do what these good people are sharing with us, it will work! I started out at 245, now at 165, goal is 130-135!!! By the way, the plant based whole food did absolutely nothing positive for me! Didn’t even lose a single pound!😊😊😊

[@cleancarnivore]

I feel as though I was led to his way of eating and it has changed my life in so many ways!

[@PaulFitzpatrick-uz3xq]

Great video guys Love hearing people's stories Keeps me motivated Doing carnivore pretty strict for about 6 months now Keto before that Lost decent amount of weight but have recently hit the wall Been a little frustrated but this video really helped me Made me think of all the other benefits I have gotten and didn't even realize until watching this video Thicker hair and nails Gums stopped bleeding Skin tags gone Snoring and sleep apnea gone Sleeping better and longer No craving No picking I used to be prone to boils and sists. No more I get outta bed in the morning ready to go And I heard your guest talking about toe fungus and I was just noticing that mine seems to be not as bad as it was. I was going to go to the doctor about it but he will just give me a script so I'm going to wait a bit Can't believe my list was this long until I started writing Unbelievable right So I am not going anywhere The weight loss will come 💪 Keep up the great work you are doing Peace Paul

Hi Paul that’s awesome….🫵🥩🥓🥚💪🏻

[@dough.9241]

While slow transition of diet makes a lot of sense, I’m more of a cold turkey kind of guy. I suddenly went Keto around 3 years ago. Then I suddenly went carnivore around 18 months ago. The sudden Keto to Carnivore transition was easy (Carnivore is a special case of Keto). But suddenly going from SAD diet loaded with sweets (I’m a recovered sugar addict) to Keto made me feel like crap for about 6 weeks. But I pushed through it with the confidence I was going to be ok.

[@cleancarnivore]

@dough.9241 Reducing carbs before carnivore is very helpful as you know. Congratulations on your progress!

[@miketaylor7305]

Hi dough…that’s awesome congrats

Why am I the only one that seems to be experiencing overwhelming physical pain from stopping carbs...oxalate dumping? NO ONE else even mentions what I'm experiencing!!

[@cleancarnivore]

@@babsphillips8583 How long have you been on the diet?

[@Jchathe]

Babs, I had 4 months of shockingly bad joint pain all over my body, including bouts of severe back pain that would keep me in bed for a week. I had been vegetarian for 3 decades and for the past decade had been juicing veggies, including greens. I had been keto for about 6 months before carnivore but it was when I changed that the oxalate dumping started. Having listened to Sally K Norton, I did some of her protocols to mitigate the effects and increased my electrolytes, which helped greatly. I also had 6-7 months of diarrhoea. I persevered and now I only have minor episodes of dumping every once in a while, resulting in some knee and foot pain. Good luck and I hope all goes well for you. Happy New Year! @@babsphillips8583

[@marianwest3525]

I do miss baking sourdough. But life so much happier. Thanks guys!

[@cleancarnivore]

Marian, I will acknowledge that I miss sourdough. I miss the baking process and the giving of bread. I had to realize that those "gifts" were not helping those I care about,

[@alicesais770]

I believe there are some people that are healthy and can have sour dough bread. But some of us have screwed our body so much by over indulging in unhealthy foods that we can’t have those foods.

[@Deepseaotter]

I totally get it! I wasn’t exercising when I lost the weight! None! Now I walk because I enjoy it! I didn’t enjoy moving at all before I lost the 75 pounds! Now I love moving!!!❤

I was a walker before and didn't walk while losing on low-carb then carnivore. Now, I walk, and I am much lighter, which is much more enjoyable. I can't wait for spring weather!

[@kprairiesun]

@cleancarnivore I accidentally discovered I love swimming laps. A senior Olympian retired professor swam laps daily and he and a friend inspired me to try. I swam 67 laps first day while waiting for a friend to come. I go at my own pace mostly, but do faster laps sometimes, too. So much easier in water, yet provides fantastic resistance, something like 600 pounds of pressure. Best exercise and I love being in the water.

I watch The Economic Ninja - Travis JUST started on the carnivore diet! When he announced that he'd decided he needed to lose weight, I was blown away by the number of people in chat that were advocating for carnivore . . . .that supports your contention that there's a groundswell of people realizing how we've been deceived about diet and nutrition, and making a change for their health! You might try to reach out to him, and see if he'd be willing to share his experience after 30 days!

[@kendalness]

Awesome show. Taking about carnivore dogs….our Labrador and Pomeranian have been carnivores only and raw since 8 weeks. Our lab is a very healthy 10 and Pomeranian is 7 and very healthy as well. They’ve been carnivore way longer than us! 🤣

[@RickSwartwood]

On Day 2 - been reading a lot. I've tried many different trends and have always come back to my weight problems. OMAD, Longterm fasting, Keto, etc. I've done well for SHORT durations (2-7) days. Then I fall off the wagon after one week. We're going to give this a honest "GO" because I have seen/read/heard the possibilities of helping me with my painful joints, exhaustion, sleep issues (I take Trazadone and have for 15+ years) high blood pressure, weight, etc. Thank you for this video.

[@cleancarnivore]

Rick, this is Steve. I just changed my about setting on my channel and it begins with Walk with me. For the world carnivore month of January I’m doing a series of videos on 30 days of ground beef, salt and water. I have spent $77 for 30 days of food. My way of thinking everyone can afford $77. My suggestion is to give it a good go for 90 days. That’s long enough to get rid of food cravings and it’s long enough to change your labs. I don’t know what your motivation for doing carnivore is whether it’s for physical health or mental health. I do know that this way of eating can change both my contacts are in the description.

[@RickSwartwood]

@@cleancarnivore - Thanx for the reply! I really appreciate that! Sorry for the length - I'm nervous about posting on here but maybe others might relate in some capacity. I feel I need this to be said allowed so to help hold myself more accountable. My motivation is the following: The night before my daughter's 7th birthday (Her mom (now my ex-wife) probably put her up to it) she asked me to promise her that I would quit smoking for her. She said that she wanted me to "PROMISE" because I never break a promise. I immediately promised her on the spot because I felt it the right thing to do at that moment. April 17th, 2000 - That daughter is now 30 and I kept my promise! My new wife of 20 years received a call in mid August 2023 that they wanted her to come back in for a 2nd Mammogram. She waited to tell me until the 13th of August. (She was scared and didn't know how to tell me). She had a followup scheduled for August 18th. In that window I made a promise to myself AND God that if that exam would come back "Clear", I would immediately give up alcohol and soda until I got myself healthy again for her! (I was weighing in at 280 lbs as of March 2023 AND I drank excessively. To the point of being drunk 3-4x per week). (If I can promise a 7 y/o that I would quit smoking - I KNOW I can promise myself that I will do this for my wife and family) Fast forward to end of December - Not a drop of alcohol or soda - HOWEVER - I've learned in that timeframe that many of my items I was drinking were just as bad. NA Beer (Still has sugar) - I was drinking 2-4 energy drinks a day (some zero sugar - some not). What was the point other than I LITERALLY kept my promise but wasn't focusing on my health. End of December - went on a vacation to the Rockies. (What majesty!). Plenty of pictures. I'm very self conscious about my appearance and want to do better for myself, wife and two kids. I want to be around for them. I decided that I would start the Carnivore Diet (Been doing quite a bit of videos and reviews over Christmas break). I also made another promise that my ONLY intake of liquid will be plain ole fashion water. No "Crystal Light" fruit punch mix, no energy drinks, not even coffee. Water. (I ended up telling my wife the promise that I made to myself for the first time. I could see in her reaction how much this meant to her). So with that - the renewed FOCUS is being turned to Carnivore. I'm excited to see where this takes me. I'm looking for something that I can do and continue for the remainder of my life that's actually sustainable and healthy for me and my family. Feeling excited/nervous.

[@ruthbiafora5443]

I’m so committed to it (can’t believe myself cos I love love loved cooking baking trying new recipes allll the time. And I mean all. Even living on my own I’d still do it every single week. Something new. So committed am I that I’ve cleared out my kitchen cupboards. I had two cupboards solely for baking ingredients. One for spices n herbs. One for pastas, rice n grains. And two filled to capacity with tinned produce. Tomatoes. Kidney beans. Barlotti beans etc etc etc. Gone! Given away to family n the food bank. The fruit n veg went first. Thought I might miss an onion but not so far 😬 Only health issues. High BP since 2021. Cysts on liver. Looking forward to having more motivation n stamina. (Been doing more already!!!).

I was 280+ lbs at 6’3” and 52 years old. Prediabetic, neuropathy, aches and pains all over, depression, snoring, and bad gas. Most all of it was gone in two weeks on carnivore. It’s been less than three months and I’m 252 lbs now. But on the topic of cold turkey vs slowly starting carnivore, I did cold turkey and had zero issues and I don’t have a gallbladder. I can see if someone is weening off meds or was a vegan but I ate meat regularly anyway so maybe that’s the difference. But I wouldn’t hesitate to tell anyone to start full blown immediately. Most people need animal fat and proteins immediately so most can get past “keto flu”. My sister has lupus and has ran thru all the usual meds and she had no issues cold turkey either. BTW she’s off all her meds and feels great.

[@kprairiesun]

Omg, I only did carnivore for 3 days, got too lazy to cook yesterday and started eating carbs. Middle of the night, could feel my BP was up, had diarrhea, nausea, headache, ringing in my ears, much louder than my usual ringing. Then vomited a few times, felt super dizzy, faint like I'd pass out if I relaxed my eyes. Fought that for couple hours. Had only about 2 to 3 hours sleep, but got back to sleep and woke up feeling more normal. Taking it easy today. I'm 70, diabetic, A-FIB, high BP, low thyroid, obese, bone on bone knees, arthritic hips, neck, shoulders and back. Definitely felt better on carnivore. Had homemade broth so far. Thank you. I am so happy to see videos like this. Inspires me that all ages of people cure all their long-time health issues. Now, I also took 2 pills of a new supplement I just got yesterday, glandular thyroid. I was only supposed to take one and I think that also had a lot to do with my unpleasant symptoms last night. I know from experience that the carbs Really make me feel worse and worse, though. Starting carnivore was so easy. Simple elimination diet. I shake seasoned chicken wings, made meatballs with dash of nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon ginger which makes them extra tasty. I Pressure cooked a pork roast in can of chicken broth. Delicious and makes delicious broth. I also slit hotdogs, filled with little mustard and hard cheese, wrapped with bacon and baked. Favorite my mom always made for us. So good. Don't overcook. Always loved eggs, scrambled many different ways, cheesy, cheesy with ham, soft, hard, beaten well and fast scrambled in extra bacon grease so they puff up. Also boiled, deviled, over easy, especially good on a crispy burger patty. But, I've gotten tired of all those types since I spent about a year doing ketovore and ate lots of eggs. Luckily, I rediscovered how very delicious poached eggs are with salt and can even add extra fat or butter to them. So easy to eat. I poach mine quickly in water in a small, buttered cast iron skillet. Cook a minute or so, use spoon to turn over, wait a little bit, remove with slotted spoon and chop up in a bowl. Eat with a spoon. So flavorful.

I'm still watching this stream. I wish I had caught it live. I'm hoping they circle back around to afib to get more details with regard to how he resolved his irregular heartbeat due to afib. It sounded a little bit like he may still be on medication? I'm really convinced that all of my dad's health problems stem from a medication induced cascade of maladies starting with high blood pressure. I think if I can find some evidence that carnivore can reverse long term afib for someone in their 70's that might be the thing that pushes him over the line to try it. I'll keep listening for it...unless someone knows someone else who has spoken on this issue? Thanks for the great video and guest!

[@cleancarnivore]

ellieb2914 I went through more than 15 years of cardioversions and ablations RF (radio frequency) and Cryo (freezing) It was the final ablation for a-flutter that returned me to sinus rhythm in 2020. I am not a doctor but it is my opinion from personal experience than carnivore can only help and won't cause harm.

[@babsphillips8583]

After listening to NUMEROUS interviews here and other sites, I haven't heard a single new carnivore eater mention oxalate dumping or physical pain from stopping carbs (veggies/fruits/grains). I have literally been suffering from excruciating pain after stopping all carbs. Am I the only one????? I hope it ends soon because after a month, it's exhausting and discouraging! I'm a 75 year old woman with a naturopathic degree which means I did nutritional studies and feel COMPLETELY LIED TO and DECEIVED about the very foods causing me so much detoxing and pain!! Why am I doing this to myself at my age? Because once you know the truth about oxalates, you can't keep eating them!! Could sure use an encouraging word from SOMEONE!!! The video boasts of depression/mental issues stopping but it seems with oxalate dumping, I'm struggling with sadness/anger/discouragement I don't normally have. Why do I feel so alone in this oxalate issue????

[@cleancarnivore]

@babsphillips8583 I am sorry for the pain that you are experiencing. Pain has not been part of my journey. But I am here to offer help and encouragement. I am not a doctor and do not want to seem like I am giving medical advice. There are qualified and respected doctors in the carnivore community on KZbin who discuss oxalates specifically. If you search "Carnivore and oxalate and pain," they will be in the search results. If watching their videos does not give you the information you seek, then contacting them directly may be your best option.

Yeast loves sugar. I read a book called "could yeast be your problem?" which spoke of body wide yeast infections that are never diagnosed. That could explain the clearing up of the toenail fungus when going carnivore.

[@doncastella2814]

Steve reminds me of myself in some ways. I am a 75 year-old Vietnam Era Army Veteran. He mentioned Dr William Davis. I first met Dr Davis almost 20 years ago when he had a website called Track Your Plaque, a site dedicated to heart health. Dr Davis was affiliated with Milwaukee Heart Scan. Back then, he recommended a reduced Carb lifestyle with less than 80 grams of Carbs/day. I tried it and cut 8" off my waistline in about 8 months. I later reverted back to too many Carbs. I developed AFIB and pericarditis. I went on strict KETO in Spring, 2018 and dropped 50 lbs by Fall 2018. My waist was back to 32" and I felt much better. Six years later, I have gained about ten lbs. My New Years Resolution was to change to Carnivore and stop drinking 8-10 glasses of wine per week. I will miss Macadamia Nuts.

@squeekytoys5911 Excess carbs will be stored as fat. Excess dietary fat passes through the body! Remember, this is a lifestyle, not a diet. It is not pass-fail. The battle is won in the mind first. Push past the cravings and it will get easier. Nothing tastes better than healthy feels. I am on your team. Make sure you are getting ample protein and saturated fat. Don't go in hungry. Go with a plan. Take a snack you CAN have, jerky, pork rinds, and cheese in moderation. Start FRESH, and Give yourself grace. Visualize all the sweets have ants crawling all over them. Disgusting!

Hey Carnivores! If you’ve got an AirFryer - throw your FROZEN ribeye in at 400 degrees for 6-7minutes…flip & cook 6-7 more. Depending on your fryer & the thickness of your steak - it may be too rare. I nuke mine for 20 seconds if it’s a bit cool in the center. Now I’m able to stick to Carnivore - even if there’s nothing defrosted!!

I agree with your guest about going off carnivore for even a short time, as little as one meal I have a " cheat" day once a month & i have a couple of donuts. They taste so good!, but boy do i feel like crap for about two days afterwards. I think my " cheat" days are over.

My dogs are full carnivore and it's the best thing you can do for your dog. Before carnivore one of my dogs was very, very, very sick I asked her to hang on while I searched for an answer, I spent thousands of dollars searching for the answer and I found the answer in carnivore. I fed her lean raw beef steak for a year and it saved her life. She as well as the others are healthy and happy full of energy the shedding also stopped. My dogs eat what I eat, BEEF. If you love your dogs and cats don't feed them any carbs or processed foods, no veggies, grains, dairy or fruits. The only dairy exception might be goats milk every two weeks or so, it a nice treat for them that doesn't bother their stomach.

I have had two ablations i am just wondering if this diet would help me i've been told to lose weight

@gavinvanderven2785 I will start by saying I am not a doctor and will not give advice. After five ablations, the last to correct A-flutter, this lifestyle has changed my life, and able to enjoy life the way I was meant to. I just want to reiterate what I said in the video: I count weight loss as the least beneficial of the benefits. Carnivore is one of those things that is impossible to know how you will feel beforehand and just as challenging to try to explain to someone else. Why not start by reducing your carbs. Eliminate seed oils, processed food, "white" food, sugar, bread and flour, potatoes, rice, any color. Eat only whole food that is grown, not manufactured, or in any container. After that, begin to eliminate plants. Lean into the community, search, and watch videos from people you respect.
