I went carnivore in September 2023. I have no health issues. I tried the diet through curiosity. It's a really good diet. I never feel bloated, I sleep better than ever, my mind is clear and focused, and I still have plenty of strength and energy for my training. It's a really good diet.

@rogelioarmentasolorzano3848 I'm still carnivore. I eat about 5 eggs for breakfast, and some steak and ground beef for dinner. Sometimes I'll have prawns, or cheese. It depends how I feel. Lamb steaks are also quite frequent. I just eat what I feel like on the day.

I bought a grass fed cow and ran across this carnivore diet through Jordan Peterson. I figured I got all this meat that I should try it. I honestly have never felt better. My energy levels are amazing. My psoriasis have cleared up. My body feels absolutely amazing! But the one thing I have noticed the most are my moods. It’s very strange and it’s hard for me to even comprehend but after the 2nd weeks of being in this diet I noticed it. I wasn’t waking up being bombarded with negative thoughts and negative self talk. My anxiety levels are few and far between and the depression has 💯 lifted. I don’t know why but it has. It’s very strange to feel this good.

As for my experience, I have been on Carnivore since March 6th, 2023. As of today (12/14/2023) I have lost 80 pounds. I have come off about 80% of my injectable insulin and oral diabetes meds. My A1C with all the insulin and oral meds was between 7.5 and 8.5. After being on Carnivore for about 3 months my A1C was down to 6.0 with the reductions in meds I mentions previously. In addition to this diabetes benefit, I am enjoying a life with much less muscle and joint pain, lots more energy, clearer thinking and improved memory. I am not a doctor and I know this is a test of 1 (myself) but I can say that eating the recommended (food pyramid) diet that every one of my doctors and all the dietitians I have seen over the years told me would make me healthy, does not work for me. It is also strikes me as odd when I hear doctors say there are no studies about the Carnivore diet and yet no one seems to wants to do the studies.

The way I see it, most doctors who only rely on their formal training are spreading alot of misinformation. They mite have good intentions but its up to you to take control of your health.

Because lab grown mice had reactions to being bombarded with tons of chemicals. I’m originally from Iceland, the land NOTHING grows on. For a 1,000 years we lived on fatty meats that were buried in salt for preservation. Only in the last 50 years did oncology even become a thing there. They want you to not believe your eyes and your body in the name of science....sort of like this COVID thing huh. I’d also be interested now seeing the numbers on immune strength.

1:05 I'll explain exactly why I tried it. I was sitting in my living room, trying to take my mind off of my terminally ill body. I'd been given about two years to live six months prior. My best friend had just left that morning after coming to say goodbye. I was really done fighting, but I wasn't allowed to quit. My son had just died a year prior and I didn't want my daughter and husband to have to lose me so soon after. I saw a JRE clip with Jordan Peterson talking about his family's experience with an all meat diet. It was short. Only about eight minutes. I wasn't impressed at all, but then it occurred to me that I'd promised my family that I'd try everything. Welp, this was something I'd never tried before. I'd been on many medically supervised elimination diets and none of them did jack, but none of them were as extreme as this one. I mentally shrugged and decided to add this to the list so they couldn't be mad at me for giving up. I had no hope, zero 'faith,' no belief that this would do anything. I did no research. I wasn't concerned about possible health consequences. I was already dead. A week later I knew I was on to something. Before, my body was shutting down, but now I was able to eat. I was eating more than I'd been able to eat in years. The diarrhea was getting better and I wasn't crapping out recognizable food with a pool of blood an hour after I consumed it. The lights were popping on in my head. The pain wasn't gone, but it was significantly better. I decided that I'd ride this train as far as it took me. This diet isn't perfect and there are things it hasn't been able to fix, but it's the closest thing to a miracle that I've experienced in my life. Right now I'm almost three years past my expiration date and the only way I'm dying any time soon is if I get hit by a bus. So this lady can get off her fainting couch and wave away the vapors that the idea of carnivore gives her. I'm fine. I don't expect her to eat this way, and I honestly do not care about her opinion of this diet at all. She's never tried it and so she has zero idea what she's talking about. From my experience, carnivore sure as hell beats the alternative.

[@HELPICANTFINDJOHNCENA]

​@@TiznizAre you asking about his kidneys because of protein intake? If eating protein damaged your kidneys I don't think any animal would eat it lol. If you do end up switching to carnivore the most important thing is maintaining stomach acid as stomach acid is the main component to digest protein. The same as how bile digests fat. The amount of people on a regular dumb diet with heart burn is why I mention that fact becsuse if you go onto carnivore diet and you are taking medicines to reduce stomach acid then you are preventing alot of protein from bring absorbed. But no protein does not affect your kidneys. We humans have evolved to eat meat and meat alone. We were never starving we were expert hunters the absolure apex predators. We hunted many many MANY animals to utter extinction. We were never starved and we never looked for plants to eat (because the vegetables we know today did not exist even a thousand years ago). We were also in an ice age only a few thousand years ago so barely anything grew anyway. So once again no protein is not bad for your kidneys and is infact needed.

I'm going to tell you guys right now. The best diet is the one that best fits your genetics. I'm asian, and I've had grandparents that have lived to be 96 and 92. All they ate was leafy greens, and fresh local fish. They have had tea for as long as I could remember. I cut out bread, gluten, and processed meats. I cut out sodas, sugars, baked goods, and a good portion of diary. Our gut biome is taxed to heavily and this causes our bodies to inefficiently absorb nutrients. The reason why the carnivore diet works so well is because the chemical and nutritional make-up of meat is much simpler. It can be broken down into many amino acids, proteins, fats that can absorbed much quicker. Yes, I do believe it works, but I think a specialized diet of vegetables is also needed. Stay safe and eat well everyone. And please, no more McDonalds.

Asian you say? Diabetes has risen 30% in China in the last 30 years as the Asian diet mimicks the western diet with fried foods and tons of sugar. When I went to Japan it was odd to even see a person overweight. I believe the traditional Japanese diet is arguably one of the best and the way they treat mealtimes is far beyond how us fat fucking fast food pigs in the west do it.

Unless you are actually living with an all meat and fat diet to see how it affects your body, you don’t know why they want to keep eating this way. It is not a simple placebo effect.

It’s not restrictive as there is no limit to how much animal proteins and fats you eat, but you stop eating when full, and never feel over stuffed. And the energy and mental clarity is astounding. Feeling fantastic and having successful health milestones that were never achieved any other way is what keeps people eating this way.

I didn’t get tired in the middle of the day or after I ate. I had my blood work done after the 3 months and the doctor said “your numbers are perfect keep doing what you’re doing.

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford (pp. 86-87): "The movement and formation of the Mongol army were determined by [...the] unique characteristic of the Mongol army was that it traveled without a commissary or cumbersome supply train other than its large reserve of horses that always accompanied the soldiers. As they moved, they milked the animals, slaughtered them for food, and fed themselves from hunting and looting. Marco Polo alleged that the Mongol warriors could travel ten days without stopping to make a fire or heat food, that they drank horses’ blood, and that each man carried with him ten pounds of dried milk paste, putting one pound of it in a leather flask of water each day to make his meal. The warrior carried strips of dried meat and dried curd with him that he could chew while riding; and when he had fresh meat, but no time to cook it, he put the raw flesh under his saddle so it would soon be softened and edible. "The Chinese noted with surprise and disgust the ability of the Mongol warriors to survive on little food and water for long periods; according to one,the entire army could camp without a single puff of smoke since they needed no fires to cook. Compared to the Jurched soldiers, the Mongols were much healthier and stronger. The Mongols consumed a steady diet of meat, milk,yogurt, and other dairy products, and they fought men who lived on gruel made from various grains. The grain diet of the peasant warriors stunted their bones, rotted their teeth, and left them weak and prone to disease. In contrast, the poorest Mongol soldier ate mostly protein, thereby giving him strong teeth and bones. Unlike the Jurched soldiers, who were dependent on a heavy carbohydrate diet, the Mongols could more easily go a day or two without food."

@Reality Creator & Shifter Mongol warriors all rode horses. Also, they would carry some food on them so that they wouldn't have to necessarily have to stop to eat. But they would have to stop when the horses needed to feed and rest. The point is that what food the Mongol warriors were eating was mostly meat and butter, that is to say ketogenic. This allowed them when necessary to go without food during longer periods of battle. It's a feast and fasting way of eating that has been common among hominids for millions of years. By the way, they wouldn't likely have been fighting battles in the winter time and so sleeping at night without fire would have been a non-issue. Many hunter-gatherers would abstain from using fire during warfare because of the attention it attracted.

I have done every diet out there over the course of 43 years. I love vegetables and I grow and harvest my own - not store bought. The sickest I have ever felt was when I went vegan for two weeks and the best I have ever felt was when I went carnivore one week after my 43rd birthday. I started because I was having massive and all day long gas and bloating - like I couldn't be out in public kind of gas. I work out twice a day and drink about a gallon of water a day - nothing, and I mean nothing could change these conditions. I was not about to be put on some side effects may include medicine in my early 40's so I went online to self diagnose and found fiber to be my main problem. I was eating only meat and vegetables at this time, keeping a low carb profile and tracking my calories - turns out I was eating 100's of grams of fiber per day. I slowly backed off of fiber but was still having issues. I googled no fiber recipes and found carnivore. I researched this way of eating before diving into it. Honestly, it's the BEST 'diet'. I've been a carnivore for about 5 months now and found a plethora of other issues that went away - I had no itchy spots on my body (like insane itchy spots), no more joint and body pain, I sleep like a baby - all night without interruption, and the gas and bloat are gone. The way I'm built (6'0" as a woman), my body looks better with weight lifting than it does just being skinny. I've actually gained 5 lbs. but I've lost a ton of inches. My roseca is minimal and I have less dry skin. A quick google search will reveal that the human body cannot process fiber - so why are we eating so much fiber?

I went on a carnivore diet because I had several health issues that were making me miserable, including autoimmune issues. I suffered with severe, almost daily, migraines from the age of 13 to 42 and in the midst of the pandemic I read an article about the link of gluten intolerance to migraines. I decided to completely cut gluten and dairy out of my diet and the daily migraines were gone within 2 weeks. After that I continued to deal with autoimmune issues even though I ate super clean whole foods. I kept gaining weight and feeling absolutely miserable even though I was doing all the things nutritionists and doctors were telling me to do. Finally I came across an KZbin video of a lady who had identical issues to me and had seen drastic improvements from a carnivore diet. I decided to try it for 3 months out of pure desperation. I started in June and I will be completing 3 months mid September/24. So far I lost 15lb, something that had been impossible for me before on any other diet I had tried, including keto and vegan. I have more energy, I’m not dealing with severe bloating, my mind is clearer, I don’t crave sweets or carbs at all. I started eating 3 meals a day and now can eat mostly 2 meals a day because I feel full and satisfied. What this lady said about low calories on carnivore is not true because we eat high fats and not only protein, and we all know fat has a lot of calories. There are people who are literally having a stick of butter with their steak everyday, so it’s very clear that although she might know a lot about other diets, she doesn’t know much about carnivore.

[@Audifan8595]

yeah sorry gonna have to rain on Dr Patrick's parade here but i adhere to the lion diet (ruminant meat only) for autoimmune issues and i eat almost 3,000 calories on a typical day. most days i eat 2lbs of 80-20 ground beef with extra tallow mixed in, cooked in tallow which i also eat by pouring it over the meat and soaking it up. many days i also drink bone broth. in the first few weeks, without any exercise (and a body that has not exercised in about ten years) i lost ten pounds. then by the end of the second month i had gained back three pounds, and it was all muscle. i am not calorie restricted. the health benefits i'm experiencing are most likely a combination of being in ketosis, eliminating inflammatory plant foods, and ceasing the biochemical processes for sugar metabolism/storage that deplete other important nutrients such as magnesium and vitamin c. for what it's worth, i've always eaten cleanly, even as a teenager. grassfed and pastured meats/eggs, full fat grassfed dairy, local fruits and vegetables, no processed foods, etc. i feel healthier now than i've ever felt in my life, including when i was 17 and at the peak of my athletic career. that being said, i agree COMPLETELY that this diet needs to be studied scientifically. i'd be a pretty shitty biologist if i didn't. but people like Shawn Baker are trying and failing to get funding to study carnivore diets because it's not financially viable for pharmaceutical companies and healthcare systems. it's not like there aren't efforts. but you have to understand that this sort of radical thing gets pushed intentionally to the sidelines because it's not profitable. it doesn't mean it's dangerous pseudoscience, it means that it's inconvenient to the corporations that benefit from a chronically sick populace.

I did carnivore for a solid 3 years and then for the last year I have fallen off. While on it, I experienced a ton of positives. About a year and some change into it I started to feel off from the high effects that I was previously enjoying. Multi-Vitamins were what brought me back to good. So I continued for the remainder of that 3 year period. So many benefits. It was a transoceanic move that interrupted my carnivore habit but now that I am settled in and have seen for myself and am experiencing some of the things that brought me to the carnivore diet in the first place, I am ready to begin the diet again. Only this time, I am wiser about it and will slightly modify it a bit. The lady speaking in this video is not wrong. She actually explains my experience with the carnivore diet fairly accurately and now some of the feelings I had, experiences I had, make better sense. Ultimately, I wish I never fell off the diet after successfully navigating it for 3 years, but I am optimistic that I will be better off this next go round. Essentially I will do a high percentage of carnivore from day to day but mix in some green veggies maybe 3 days a week and I'll keep with the vitamins.

Also look at how much money is being poured into Alzheimer's research -- if it was simply caused by mad cow prions,Alzheimer's also involves prions--the evidence that points in this direction is growing. And suppose that Alzheimer's is also associated with tainted meat. This conclusion seems far-fetched--at first. In this compelling book, the authors come to a frightening conclusion about our seemingly insatiable hunger for hamburgers. Destined to provoke heated argument, this book is definitely food for thought,Factory farming today is one the most irresponsible methods of processing animal flesh and with the incredible rise of Alzheimer's cases within the last 100 years, this book makes a great medical argument for connecting the two together. As another reviewer warned, reading this may change the way you eat so be ready to throw out the ground beef in your fridge. This book also explains the process of someone who has Alzheimer's and the rapid pace that they lose their cognitive and motor functions.

I think fasting is less about wasted energy and more not letting the mechanisms get overburdened. We rely too much on "feeling hungry" and not enough on when our bodies actually need fuel. If you overload any machine without giving it time to rest, it's going to impact its functionality. If you flood an engine, it won't start. Our bodies are organic machines and we underestimate how much to takes to fully process a meal.

So the regimen the holistic expert put her on was Protein NO Bread. I remember her specifically saying to me give her lots of protein e.g. peanut butter, eggs, chicken, Nuts. My daughter was only 11 years old this was 1997. So with the supplements to nourish her liver, etc. Her pigmentation came back and covered the white patches. It took 9 months but it WORKED!! Sugar tastes great, but it destroys the body in a slow way, joint by joint, desease by desease. She eventually got Vitaligo again cause when she started attending HS, they have vending machines with sodas, chips, candy etc. I had NO control over her diet when she became a teenager and an adult. I have been on Keto , I believe in Cruciferous veggies, I eat a Ton and have 3 bowrl movements a day. I eat meat, nuts, eggs, chicken, NOT dairy cause it causes sinus infections, creates phlegm and fungus. It worrks for me!! I try to go 2 days without meat, cause it takes time for the liver to break digest meat. I believe sugar, carbs, cookies, candy, ice cream, soda soda soda soda are the problem. IMO..

I started Carnivore on November 2nd 2021. So far dropped 11lb feeling amazing! I eat meat, Organ meat, fish. I take NAC 2000mg a day and drink 4 L of water. Also I introduced sparkling water because I used to love coke and sparkling water makes me feel I am still drinking it. All my inflammation and allergies are GONE!

@Andy Chou Hi Andy, I have been eating unhealthy diet all my life. It is your typical American diet (fast food, etc) but I eat large portions. In 2019 mid of July I started Keto (meal prep at home, 5 small meals a day, low carb) lost weight but sometimes I plateaued for months. In mid of 2020 I went back to eating unhealthy (fast food, large portions, 1-2 meals a day) gained more weight. In November 2021 I started Carnivore after plenty of research, I started to lose weight and I started to feel good but I noticed unlike Keto My inflammation and allergies were completely gone and I felt much better than when I was o keto. I did blood test for allergies and realized I actually am allergic to certain food, such potatoes, broccoli, asparagus and tomatoes, banana, watermelon, etc! so carnivore worked for me because I don’t eat veggies anymore. Regarding constipation on carnivore, they didn’t exist. I had diarrhea in the first week then all back to normal. Water I started watching my intake using an app and I always keep it at 4liters per day or more. Hope I answered all your questions.

I stopped all refined sugars cold-turkey and keep my carb intake almost down to zero (almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc). I eat all types of meat and cruciferous vegetables. That combination seems to be working really well for me. I think the most important thing is taking out all the refined sugary crap out and all the empty carbohydrates.

That's because mis-infomation is more wide-spread in this system. They want you to know what makes them money, not what's good for your health. Carnivore diet is the way to go. That's what our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate. We need to be like them.

[@SanctuaryGardenLiving]

Hunter gather diet is not carnivore diet. People ate different diets around the world depending on the regions. Diversity is key for all the micronutrients. Animals should be raised ethically and sustainably. Our voice and our vote is in how we spend our money. Again if interested in health and longevity listen Rhonda Patrick, cumulatively the science and research leads to a diverse diet that includes many types of plants and or seeds.

[@gladifly]

@@SanctuaryGardenLiving Hunter-gatherer diet was pretty much a carnivore diet, hence the name 'hunter-gatherer'. Carbs should be kept to under 50g daily, ideally under 20g, of leafy greens and that's it! The rest should be meat and fat. Sugar causes inflammation, tooth decay, brain fog, depression, cancer, diabetes, weight gain, high cholesterol, heart disease. The list is endless of health problems linked to sugar.

[@michelle1772]

After researching natural health for 40 years, I can ask a few honest questions. 1.) Do most of us trust the govt after the past few years, especially? They go hand-in-hand with the FDA, big science, big pharma, WHO, CDC, etc. 2.) Do they want us healthy? 3.) What kind of soil do we grow crops in? Is it healthy soil, or are we mandated to use only what the govt & Moderna (seeds) allows? 4.) Do we trust the govt for anything? I've not been to the doctor in 35 years. Listen to your body & educate yourself on health.

106 days so far eating 100% carnivore with no cheating. Down to OMAD and fasting a couple of times a month for a day or two but only when weight loss stalls for more than a week. At this point I almost never have hunger pains even when fasting. Down 65 lbs so far and no plans to stop. I'm really curious to see where I level off eating once a day and feeling satiated all the time. I feel like I'm in the best shape of my adult life, and I'm wearing smaller pants than I did when I graduated HS 34 yrs ago, and have already lost 12" in my waist.

[@Daniel-mq3nf]

Question. How can you afford it for that long?

[@rjreddenbaker4351]

@@Daniel-mq3nf Before I started I was eating the standard American diet 3x a day as well as eating fast food a couple times a week while out at work, so I was spending around $35/day for all my food and drinks (a couple of beers after work included) and at first I had to eat a lot of burger(~2lbs/day) along with lots of eggs with some liver and canned seafood as well until my body adjusted to the all meat diet (which was about 3 weeks before I stopped feeling brain dead and dysfunctional). The food costs during that time were around the same because I was eating two pretty large meals per day (around 3000 calories total) but as my body adjusted and I went into Ketosis, the need to eat so often stopped and now I average one meal a day and one day a week with no food at all just because I'm not hungry. I did 72 hours without eating a few weeks ago (around day 90) and I had hunger pains one time the whole weekend. I am at the point now where I can eat one big steak a day 4 or 5 times per week and have unsweetened iced tea, coffee in the morning, and carbonated water as my main drinks and am actually down to about $12-$15/day eating that way along with a delicious bacon cheeseburger or some eggs eggs and bacon or fish thrown in there here and there. I also like liverwurst and sardines so I'll have that a few times a months as well whenever my body craves it. My wife was amazed at how much we save on groceries now. We also do keep an eye on the local flyers each week for good meat sales and try to stock up if we can afford to. We found ribeye steaks at a regional market a few weeks ago for $9 off per pound. Those sales really have helped as well.

[@maizalima2493]

I saw a video from Thomas recently and he mentioned cycling in and out of fasting. Seems like your case. He says if you feel like you aren’t hungry when fasting it’s time to stop fasting for a few days to a couple of weeks so your body can adapt again to fasting when you get back to it. If you’re not a hungry, it’s not working anymore.
