Shawn Baker Challenges the Norm with his Carnivore Journey

[@danielrichwine2268]

2 years ago, I was begging my orthopedic surgeon to replace my knee. To his credit he said there was plenty of cartilage left and I didn't need any replacement. Problem was I did have scar tissue from a previous cartilage replacement surgery, and my body was so inflamed. The scar tissue was causing me constant knee pain. 2 years later and through carnivore and intermittent fasting, I just finished a 5K with no knee pain.

As an ecologist and a beekeeper, properly stocked rotated pastures are way better for biodiversity, soil carbon and wildlife (including insects) than tilled, chemical laden monocrops. I keep my bees away from intensive agricultural systems. Our property is too small to raise a beef. However, we are raising our first batch of pasture raised chicken. I move them every couple of days. They get so excited on fresh pasture. Behind them I sow forage seeds to enhance the pasture for both chickens and bees. Meanwhile they fertilise the orchard and provide manure for the garden and berries. Its a fun project. Looking forward to the eggs. Their is some fat with chicken. I save it to cook the eggs with every morning. And of course we eat the skin.

I am over 60 with continuous A-Fib, sleep apnea, hypertension, and morbidly obese. I used to ride my bicycle to work but after the A-Fib and medications for it I was forced to quit work and now find walking to the mail box tiring and a 1 1/2 hour grass cutting job takes me all week. I am getting serious about carnivore and IF. Hoping for some relief.

[@joannathesinger770]

I got A-Fib when I got COVID (Delta) in September 2021. The only reason I broke down and went to the ER--because I had none of the normal COVID symptoms--was because I was EXHAUSTED and couldn't walk 20 feet without collapsing from exhaustion. The exhaustion was due to the A-Fib, so trust me, I get it. Then, they tried THREE different beta-blockers on me to get my heart back into a normal sinus rhythm...and no matter what, I'd bust out into A-Fib 1-3 times per week. I had two cardioversions and all they did was burn where the paddles were. I ended up having a cardiac ablation in December 2021 which fixed the A-Fib...but the 20 pounds I gained from the beta-blockers refused to come off. My electrophysiologist didn't want me to do keto--at least less than 50 grams of carbs--because he didn't want my electrolytes to drop and mess my heart up, so I finally ordered some LMNT and started something between keto and carnivore on May 27th. I've already lost 15 of the 20 pounds I'd gained with the beta-blockers and I'm planning to continue on until all my weight is off and any saggy skin is fixed through autophagy. At least I'm not dealing with A-Fib anymore!!! On the flip side, the reason I determined to start keto/carnivore was because my knee was acting up and I was having intermittent unexplained blood pressure problems...but we think that was because I had a strep infection that was never caught that was causing issues. It was lose the weight or deal with more problems. However...I recommend being cautious! A-Fib is not a joke and nothing to mess around with. Looking back, I think that's what my grandmother died from. Actually, I think she died after being in A-Fib and the little appendage on the back of the heart--I can't remember what it's called--threw a clot and it went straight to her brain. They didn't have Eliquis or anything like it back then to prevent those issues. Make certain you are attending to your electrolytes if you attempt dropping your carbs until you are "fat-adapted" and have been in ketosis for at least three weeks.

And yes, having the ablation was definitely a blessing. Getting the weight off from the beta-blockers is also a blessing! I hope I don't have to deal with A-Fib again...but on the off chance I do, my electrophysiologist gave me some Eliquis samples to take if it starts back up. I'm hoping that by getting my weight off and staying keto/carnivore, I can head any more issues "off at the pass".

[@shrameks]

Dr. I am a 78-year-old male. In many ways, I'm typical during my younger years, especially in my 20s. I could eat just about anything, and I felt good. I was healthy, I can remember when I was in the Navy, and sometimes I would have weekend liberty. I would rent a hotel room with special rates for service people, and one of my favorite things to do was buy a dollar's worth of candy bars. In 1966 you could buy ten candy bars for a dollar, which were about the same size as today. And I enjoyed sometimes being by myself and having a room and television set all to myself. So I would eat all ten candy bars over the weekend and other standard American diet burgers and fries. I felt great, and at the end of the weekend, I put on my size 31 waist uniform and returned to my ship. As I got into my 30s and 40s, I experienced the same middle-aged weight gain as most people. In my 50s, I developed a nasty case of ulcerative colitis; the doctors told me I would have it for life the best we could do was manage it. I spent a miserable year at 54 trying to do what the medical establishment told me. Finally, in desperation, I turned to the Internet and found the Atkins diet against medical advice. I did it anyway because their pills weren't Helping. I eventually threw all the drugs away and went on Atkins, and within six months, my colitis was gone. After that, however, I started developing gout. The medical establishment blamed all the Meat I was eating, never once thinking it could be anything else. I used to love to sauté lots of spinach and cauliflower, but they're healthy, right? They couldn't possibly be causing my gout. I quit the Atkins diet and started eating the standard American diet again. I went up to over 260 pounds, felt terrible, and lived that way until I was about 70. The great thing about the ketogenic diet is that it got the fat ratio right compared to early Atkins, about 65% fat to 35% protein. A few years ago, I accidentally stumbled upon you and Dr. Barry; I started following your advice. What a difference I now weigh in The 180s; my testosterone went from 2 to over 10. The best thing is that it's relatively easy. The only tricky part is when you go to friends and family to have dinner, they look at you weirdly when you say, all I want is Meat, and then I usually get some comment like that diet can't be healthy...My reply is that I feel great, and my clothes fit a lot better, at least the new smaller ones I bought; that usually ends the conversation. I'm one of those rare people in their late 70s who take zero medications. The best medication is a good ribeye steak. And I don't use any of those blue pills either.

Raising meat is far more "environmentally friendly" than raising row crops.

[@mandyb2000]

Lol 😂 source? I’ve got several that contradicts your ridiculous statement!

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

@@mandyb2000 I am not talking about "factory farming". I am talking about Regenerative Farming (one term that is used). Desolate, baron land has been recovered, replenished, revitalized by bringing back hooved herds, controlling their movements, not letting them over graze any patch of land. It also requires FAR LESS use of fossil fuels. Do you even realize how many times a tractor needs to be fired up when producing large scale row crops?! Wonder why the row crop farmers were so hard hit during the price explosion and availability issues for chemical fertilizers? Because all the nutrients have been depleted from the soil. When cattle/sheep/goats/poultry are on the land they PUT BACK nutrients into the land. When their movements are properly managed, with little or no use of fossil fuels, the land starts to hold water instead of it washing the soil away. I think that Joel Salatin is the most published farmer, but there are many, many others out there who encage in this type of farming. Some don't even own tractors!

[@cccalifornia7206]

Question for Dr. Ovadia: I'm eating a CARNIVORE Diet... I have three heart Stents from a M.I. my "Circumflex Artery is 100% closed😞 It has been for over 5 years... When my LDL cholesterol levels go up... should I be concerned about possibly more plaque build up in my two Heart Arteries that are keeping me alive? My Cardiologist would probably cut ties with me if I told him I'm eating a CARNIVORE DIET for over 40 days now. I will be getting my blood work up in the next few weeks before I see my Cardiologist this August 11th. I'm 67 yrs young... My BMI is 25.

[@Aiebd829]

LDL is only "bad" when it gets damaged from HIGH INSULIN. Remember, cholesterol is a precursor to testosterone and vitmain D and is a building block for all cell membranes in our bodies.

[@elizabethwhite1068]

I tried responding to this but it looks like it didn't actually post, so I'll try again. LDL is not the problem and it has been demonized unfairly. The Diet-Heart Hypothesis has been repeatedly debunked. The only potential danger is if you have a high count of the small dense particles, which high carb/high sugar highly processed food diets can give you. There are many different things that can potentially damage the arterial lining, smoking, seed oils, sugar, air pollution, to name a few. Cholesterol then shows up to repair the damage. Cholesterol is vital to life. So it's like blaming the spackle for the hole in the wall. The biggest factors associated with CHD are Type 2 Diabetes and metabolic disease. What you should be getting tested is your fasting insulin, a1c, and C-peptide, along with the lipid panel. But LDL is not the most important number. Triglyceride to HDL ratio is a better marker of heart health. I recommend reading Dr. Ovadia's book, as well as Dr. Malcolm Kendrick's book The Clot Thickens. Also, Dr. Ken Berry has a lot of great videos on LDL/cholesterol/heart health and tests you should be getting.

They do it to replace burnt sugar, to keep muscles hydrated and for the insulin (anabolic) to shove protein into the muscle cells. It's not needed but can help if you're desperate to build as much muscle as possible.

@@elizabethwhite1068. A1C is 5.1 I eat the same calories as I did on carnivore so my weight hasn’t changed at all. I am 6’3” tall and 176lbs at age 51, male. Fasting glucose is 85. The key is all your carbs have to be whole, single ingredient, high fiber foods. No white rice or any breads etc. My starches are brown rice, steel cut oats, red potatoes, white potatoes, sweet potatoes. My fibrous carbs are cauliflower, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, apples. My protein are lean ground beef, chicken breast, wild caught salmon, My fats are avocado and macadamia nuts. I use MyFitnessPal to get my macros where I want them. My blood glucose raises a lot slower, and not as high, after these meals than people would assume and comes back to base very quickly.
