I Was WRONG About Veggies (Plant Problems) 2024

I used to think vegetables contained magical nutrients that couldn't be found in meat. I used to think that you had to eat plants daily or you'd develop deficiencies. I used to think veggies were mandatory.
I was wrong. Here's a list of reasons why you should consider removing veg (at least temporarily) from your diet and how you might benefit.

Way back in 1998 when I was a vegetarian and had a heart attack during my cardiac stress test my cardiologist told me it was caused by my stupid vegetarian diet and to immediately stop eating that way. He was way ahead of his time and saved my life on every level. I thank him everyday!!

I started 3 yrs ago and have found that 165 is my sweet spot. I never knew it would be so low. Never felt better. Won’t bore ya’ll with the other numerous improvements that I now enjoy. This sounds crazy, but I have learned to appreciate hunger. I don’t always drop what I’m doing and eat, I wait awhile and the hunger goes away. In my layman’s mind, my body is just shifting into fat burning and autophagy. I am not a pure carnivore, but close to it.

[@jakebourland2212]

Not pure meaning what?

[@bonnielee7134]

@jakebourland2212, I think I can answer this. I think it means allowing yourself to get knocked out of ketosis every once in a while. So for instance, I saw an interview with a man, who ate only meat or eggs but every once in a while, he would have a piece of fruit. He chose a meat diet, at a very young age and his family tried to fight him on it, had him at least try a food, which he would, and then the family just figured to let him simply eat his way and it has worked for him for 40 years. He’s like 54 now. He’s the guy, in Florida, who eats the armadillos or some sort of animal that is there in abundance. He has ducks, as pets and he eats the duck eggs. I think Dr. Chaffee did an interview with him. Go look it up, it’s good.

[@jb6712]

I'm a living testament to this very thing. Love vegetables, no denying that, but for the 70 years I was eating them, I constantly had painful, terrible issues, pretty much everything you listed. Went to keto four years ago, lost a good deal of weight, but the issues continued, and I actually began feeling much worse. Never realized at all that it might be the very things we're told to eat on keto.... Finally, FINALLY listened to all the carnivores on YT and made up my mind that I had nothing to lose except pain and inflammation, so went full-on carnivore two weeks ago. Within 48 hours I could feel improvements, and within ten days felt better than I have my entire seven decades. Now, two weeks in, I don't miss the vegetables, the nut flours I was making too many keto recipes with, none of it. It was listening to you, Dr. Berry, and to Mikhaila Peterson that finally convinced me that the time for change had arrived. Ms. Peterson's response to the question "Don't you get tired of eating the same few foods for every meal?" was exactly what I'm now thinking: "Yes, I do, but the alternative is so much worse!" That young woman went through proverbial hell until she figured out what was killing her and then made the necessary changes. I don't plan to ever go back to the old way of eating, not when carnivore has apparently eliminated, and is eliminating, decades of chronic pain and conditions that likely could have been avoided had such a way of eating been available when I was a kid and teen. I'm not faulting my parents---they raised us in the 1950s through the 70s, and did the absolute best with what knowledge was available at the time. But now it's time for me to take charge of my own life.

I was vegetarian for much of my life and even when I included meat it was only bacon, chicken and fish, no red meat. I am a 79 year old woman and in the past few years I developed peripheral neuropathy and decided to try a carnivore diet to see if it helps. I never had a problem with veggies, and thanks to a ketogenic lifestyle for the past six years I gave up fruit apart from occasional berries. Although there has been no improvement in the neuropathy symptoms, it has not continued to progress and within two days of cutting out all plants seven months ago, and eating mainly beef and oily fish, my lifelong struggles with anxiety and depression just vanished. That alone is enough for me to remain on carnivore forever.

[@eliseville]

Sounds like life at 79 can just get better & better! May I recommend that you watch any of the many YT interview videos (including with KenDBerryMD!) that Neurologist/SleepSpecialist Dr. Stasha Gominak has done on how much-higher D "LEVELS" (not doses!) can fix our long-broken D-dependent microbiomes & sleep switches. Once we again get our nightly N-REM Delta Wave DeepSleep cycles, uninterrupted (mouth-taping helps a lot) our body can begin really fixing long ago broken bits that it would already have fixed if we had had not let our D levels down. Decades of high-sugar inflammation led our immune systems to eat our own peripheral nerve myelin sheaths, just like in Multiple sclerosis (MS)! But Keto at least ended additional damage. Sleep must be carefully supported to attempt repairs. I started Keto/IF after a new doc tested & got my level from a dangerous 6ng/ml pre-Covid, up to 54ng (135nmol) by the time I caught Covid almost asymptomatically at BMI=44 & 5 CovidComorbidities. I was first surprised how my decades of severe depression & many pains just fell away. So first, with new hope & motivation, I began Keto/IF! Then, several months later I found Gominak online and her SleepRite Protocol. I watched many of her 2-hour fascinating interviews, upped my dosage again to get my level up between 70-80ng/ml as she recommended, took some extra B's and amazingly my own 4-years of symptomatic peripheral neuropathy (previously masked for unknown years by my anti-seizure Carbamazepine/Tegretol!) and hot flashes quickly began disappearing! But I melted too much D-loaded fat far too fast into my bloodstream without dropping my dosage enough, had to quit cold turkey for a month just to bring my level back down. Tragically the neuropathy (and hot flashes) quickly reappeared. I have yet to repeat that amazing experience. But I know it will happen again soon, if I can just make myself get off of blue-light tech, go to bed at a good time and always tape my lips! (Not as easy as just getting my D into the right place.)

[@granite676]

I found myself that a good dose ( 100-150mg) a day of vitamin B1 helped with my neuropathy. I have neuropathy because of chemotherapy treatment (Oxiplatin, capacetabine, treatment , burns the nerve endings ☹)

The result was astonishing, my foggy brain, diarrhoea and tiredness after lunch were gone just within a week of trial. Another important discovery was about my mental health. I had been so defensive for so long time after becoming a vegetarian and vegan about 6 years ago. Not knowing it might be caused by the ‘defence system’ of the veggies I consumed. And the diarrhoea and sometimes constipation caused by my high fibre yet inflammatory diet. Besides, lacking of fat intake led to hormone imbalance.

I've always had terrible reactions to certain vegetables since I was a young kid. My distress was ignored and I was assured by my parents and doctors that veges weren't the problem, and that if I wanted to feel better, I had to eat MORE! Years of terrible stomach pains, literal vomiting after eating certain cruciferous veges (which was seen as "being dramatic"), having to lie down and moan on the coach after a meal, it was all somehow seen as a moral failing on my part. Years later, come to find that I have a huge insensitivity/allergy to broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, etc. Oops! I've had so many experiences with doctors not listening to me and ignoring my experience.

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

Even when I tried keto, I still incorporated some veges, but only ones I could just barely tolerate. When I told my doctor I was doing keto, he was VERY concerned. We did blood work, then he told me to come in months later to follow up. He said that I would be stressing my kidneys and liver, and that I should proceed with caution and expect bad results on biomarkers my next visit. Well, at my next appointment, my doctor comes in flustered. He kept shaking his head and saying that my blood tests showed that my kidneys and liver were "perfect", in his own disappointed words. He couldn't believe it and was visibly annoyed/frustrated, like he WANTED the results to be bad. You know what he recommended after all those tests? That I stop keto...When asked "why?", given my results, he said "I have no test results to back this up, but *I FEEL LIKE* it just cant be good for you". I'd never had results that good or felt better in my life! And that was his recommendation! He had no knowledge of ketosis besides being taught it was a "starvation mode". Eventually, he sort of came around and said to do what I wanted, as long as I was healthy and felt good, but that took a while. I was his "patient zero" when it came to keto. This was just another experience that made me reconsider the idea that doctors and family members (who also thought I was crazy at the time) always know what's best for me.

Dr. Berry I cannot begin to express the gratitude for the research you do and your decision to bring the amalgamation of your studies to the world. I'm 64 and have been studying nutrition for decades. Since 2016 after an accident which left me with 3 crushed vertebra I have intensified my studies. As I pulled published papers I began to see patterns and certian persons like yourself popped up on my KZbin feed. I grew up on a ranch and raising animals allowed me to experiment with the feeds of animals. Through working with animals I was aware that most plant foods were not easily assimilated. However now through your excellent research and public teachings I now realize that I reached a stage of malnutrition after my back was broken, that combined with a lifetime of struggle with allergies and asthma meant I was fighting INFLAMMATION. This idea was new to me. My GP of 18 years had only just been coming to new realizations himself when the Pandemic hit and he resigned. With chaos reigning and after 4 bouts of serious upper respiratory infections during the past two years I became desperate and dumped all my meds and went carnivore as an elimination diet to see what was causing my inflammation. I was shocked to find that not only must I keep my carbs exceedingly low but I have a problem with cow dairy that I never knew I had! My " mysterious" episodes of idiopathic joint and muscle pain is from grains, dairy ( bovine) , fruits and super processed food like items. Keep preaching Doctor !

I've never had psoriasis in my life. When I was a blood donor they discovered I had MSUG . blood results showed low level Keppa protein. I recently had a binge on jelly lollies and Turkish Delight and my last bloods showed a huge hike in Keppa Proteins which alarmed my GP onto sending off a referral to hospital Haematologist (which I will probably ignore as I have no intention of using cytotoxic drugs). This is day 3 of Carnivore and for the first time in a month In free of excruciating pain in my deforming fingers and wrists. Also my GORD of 20+ years has completely disappeared .

I live in the Philippines, and I have seen a commercial on TV suggesting/promoting that we should take/buy certain supplements because even if we ate vegetables all day long, we could extract all the nutrients (Bio-available) all day long. Now, I thought that it was a ridiculous commercial, but now I realize it's a reason to eat meat and give up on plants.

I believe you. I'm new to Keto, about four months? But I've already learned much of what you talk about in your videos. I've tried many different veggies and find that it's really just not worth it. I watch my blood sugar close after eating and see what each causes, not that I need to because I will crash almost immediately from a sugar spike and wind up feeling like garbage for the next day. My reason for saying it's not worth it. There is a few I can get along with but there's not many.

It's certainly been true for me that cutting out the simple carbohydrates has been the key to my weight loss and the improvement of my arthritis symptoms. I'd say the most impactful combination has been the removal of alcohol and the simple, starchy carbs from my diet. I find that fermented vegetables, mainly kimchi, is something that is tolerable and is potentially helpful with regularity. I have to say, though, it's been hard to give up all the things I used to enjoy eating. Just the same, the results speak for themselves and your videos I credit as being quite helpful to me over the last two years.

Veggies still have some place for most people, but probably in a smallish supporting role. To me, the biggest benefit of a few veggies sometimes is to make it easier to stay carnivore because it allows a bit of controlled variety as well. I'm definitely not in the "vegetables are trying to kill you" camp. Those guys seem a little out there, frankly.

Maybe the secret is that whether carnivore or vegan, we are cutting out junk and sugar?

I’m actually moving back to a plant based diet as keto carnivore hasn’t done very well for me. Granted, plant-based diets are more complicated than carnivore, which is just meat.

After eating fatty meat and basically BBBE for half a year, my doctor was astounded by my cholesterol scores and other health indicators during my physical. She said whatever I was doing to keep doing it. The next physical was after having to move into some temporary housing, while my new house was being built, for several months and eating out more often. I also started eating some of the keto plants during this time, still trying to be good though. My next physical my numbers were back to less than perfect, though not terrible, yet. My skin was starting to crack, my arthritis was acting up again. Back to meat it is. I'm betting my next physical will be outstanding once again. My HDL to LDL ratio was great on just meat, and back to human normal (not good) when I was eating plants again.

I mean, it doesn't matter. Many meat eaters have admitted they were wrong and began living a more healthy vegan lifestyle. That alone means nothing, especially to you, who only cares if a meat eaters is admitting they were wrong of veggies. What does matter is the sources they cite and where they get their information. This man doesn't cite any reputable sources for most of his claims. He is basically just saying I think this or I think that. There are so many publications that counter everything this man is lying to you about. You also have to admit that there is big money in the business of deceiving people. Especially when you make a video telling people that they not only could eat bacon but should. It's absolutely shameful how he takes advantage of ignorant people for profit.

So true - 1st kudos for you to be able to evolve in your thinking, for continuing to learn and saying hey I was wrong. I am one of those that if I eat broccoli, celery and several other vegetables that are low carb I get gas, I blow up like a balloon, I am all of a sudden burping and feeling less than great. BUT they were good for me right, it wasn't until I found carnivore and listened to some doctors that I realized what my body had been trying to tell me all along - hey this stuff is crap!!!

[@Rickwardful]

Some medical schools warn their students that about half of what they will be taught will eventually be proven to be completely wrong. But that they don't know which half that is now. Unfortunately many fail to understand that when they eventually are shown which part was wrong, that they must alter their beliefs and readvise their patients. So full marks Ken for realising where you were wrong and correcting your advice.

Anyone who can admit to being wrong let alone a physician is worth his weight in gold, IMO. I am in 3 days now doing this 90 day challenge.

I am 58, retired from business at 54 & retired life needs lots of energy setting up a new life in the country. I am in doc, I’ll give it all I got and give an update at the end of the 90. BTW, can you shed some light on herbs used for herbal medicine. I am in the midst of learning to become an herbalist. The way our medical system is going in 🇨🇦 our drs are dropping like flies, people are choosing alternate options. Do dried herbs effect the body like the vegetable scenario you’ve painted?

Dr. Barry, I've been following you since 2018...I went Keto when you were subscribing to keto. When you started carnivor, I was curious and continued Keto. Now I am more carivor than Keto...(just bought a grass fed/finished cow to move my efforts further along. The one thing I can say with 100% certainty is that you don't have the inflammation in your nasal cavity or have to clear your throat like you did in 2018, 2019. The skin on your face looks great unlike before. The redness has cleared. You are a great example of progress and outcome from Keto to Carnivore! I had been slipping on carbs this summer and got an awful knee injury around 8/1...sprinting. Can't wait to see how this stretch of BBBE looks on me! Last time I gave up due to outside sales and continually taking people to lunch, dinner and HH. Striving to be more focused this time due to how great you are looking! Keep up the ever learning and improving and I will too!
