I have been a vegetarian for 20 years…..diagnosed with Hashimotos a year ago. After 12 months of compounding symptoms and no solid solutions from the medical community, I am trying to sort out my own solution. Intermittent fasting worked beautifully for me. Dropped nearly 40 lbs. but the autoimmune flares keep coming. So… just this week, I have reintroduced meat to my diet. Wish me luck!!

[@lifebeelifebee9214]

This may be a bit "out there" sounding but there was a study that took a group of people with various types of diseases (autoimmune included) and put them on an extremely simple vegetarian diet with intermittent fasting but one requirement was having their bare feet in contact with the soil for two hours per day. The results were miraculous. Simular to how this carnivore diet seems to cure folks. A possible alternative for those trying to avoid meat for whatever reason.

I also have a husband that eats all kinds of sweets, desserts, cookies, crackers, etc. He refuses to change. However, I started Keto a month ago, and I find that I can cook for both him and me. I just cook enough meat for both him and me, make a side dish for him, and a vegetable for me. I'm finding it easier every day. As soon as I can, I'm going to try out the carnivore diet, and then I'll only have to cook one side dish.

For those of us who love animals: Grass fed beef comes from cattle between one and two years old who spent their whole happy lives with their mothers and, after weaning, with their herd-family. If you buy from local farmers, the animals will not have had to endure long, stressful shipping before slaughter. They will not have been fattened with grains so their meat will not be full of glysophates which damage our kidneys. This is generally true for grass fed sheep, goats and llamas too. And bear in mind that the huge farms producing vegetarian foods are death zones for every living thing but the "product," but fields where meat animals graze are full of living things.

Hello new to the community!! I’m 45 234 pounds at the moment. Looking to shrink 2 large fibroids, ( size of melons) loose 100 pounds have low hemoglobin, and hypothyroidism. OB doc suggested I have surgery to remove the large fibroids. I would like to change my life!! I have so many food addictions 😢😢😢 but I’m willing to fight to live!! I don’t want to live to eat…. But eat to live!!! I pray all goes well with me and others on your journey!!!

[@user-oo2px6wq5g]

I had a 15 pound fibroid removed along with several others that weren’t quite the same size all done at once. What the don’t tell you is you body will not allow that empty space left by the removal of growths to stay empty. First it will fill with fluid, then you will grow scar tissue. I carry 30 pounds of scar tissue in the abdomen because of that surgery. If you do have the growths removed, wear a compression garment after surgery, and for the first month do not sit, but lay on your back when resting. This will reduce the space where scar tissue will try to grow. I also think that if I had been on the carnivore or keto diet during recovery, not as much scar tissue would have grown, if at all. Hoping you are successful in changing your diet and getting healthier. If it doesn’t shrink the growths and you eventually need surgery, I hope what I have said here will be helpful to you. Best Wishes!

I wanted to say that I'm just starting my Carnivore journey. I'm over 400lbs, my scale at home maxes out at 400, so that's the most I can say right now. I'm going into the doctor's office tomorrow morning for an official weight and check-in. But I want to say that I am excited to start this journey and see where it leads. I am pre-diabetic, and 47 years old. Overall, I feel in relatively good health, but lately I have been dealing with extreme fatigue, memory recall issues, sleep apnea, achilles tendonitis, and sore/weak muscles. My sleep apnea was one of the worst the clinic had seen to date, at over 120 episodes an hour. I do have a APAP machine, so that is managed at the moment, but I don't sleep well with the machine on regardless of dealing with the apnea episodes. Anyway, I'm excited to experience the transformation everyone is raving about. I'm thinking about vloging my carnivore journey, but we shall see. Any encouragement is greatly appreciated. God bless!

Summary of main points with timestamps: 1. 1:10 Commit to a 30-90 day challenge 2. 1:55 Eat until comfortably stuffed 3. 3:03 Eat 1-3 times a day 4. 3:55 Focus on eating fatty cuts of meat. You can experiment with adding fat to your meals. 5. 4:40 Transition to a Carnivore Diet (CD) slowly - take 1-3 weeks to get off carbs 6. 5:25 Give your stomach and gall bladder and liver time (a few weeks) to transition to a CD. 7. 7:35 Cook in animal fats, butter. Don't use vegetable oils. 8. 8:05 Use plenty of salt. Salt to taste. 9. 8:50 Clean out the pantry of carbs and inform your family before starting. Say you're doing a 90 day CD challenge to improve your health. 10. 9:30 Focus on getting enough electrolytes and minerals to minimise carb withdrawal symptoms and cravings for junk food. 11. 11:25 Eat the highest quality meats you can afford. 12. 12:05 Don't forget about the option of eating eggs, liver (high in vitamin C), seafood and shellfish. The CD hasn't resulted in scurvy or vitamin deficiencies like vitamin C in people who have eaten this way (without supplements) for over a decade. 13. 14:00 Drink as much water, sparkling water, tea or coffee as you like. 14. 14:30 Get to know your local butcher or meat dept manager to help discover cuts of meat you haven't tried (eat more nose-to-tail), access fat trimmings cheaply, access fatty cuts of meat. 15. 15:45 Seek out local sources of meats, eggs. This could save you money, give you more options for meat cuts to try. 16. 16:15 Focus on ruminant animals (beef, sheep, goat, venison) as the main part of your diet. Pork, poultry and seafood aren't bad though. 17. 17:10 Eat as much nose-to-tail as possible to get as many nutrients as possible and to reduce waste. 18. 18:05 Don't beat yourself up if you slip up and eat non-CD foods. Refocus on your goals for doing the CD. 19. 18:45 Consider CD vs Ketovore diet (a meat-heavy Ketogenic Diet). See what makes you feel better. 20. 19:10 Experiment with adding spices, condiments, onion, garlic, rubs. 21. 19:45 Experiment with different protein:fat ratios. Eg higher fat by adding butter to meat 22. 20:15 Experiment with adding dairy, kefir. Use full-fat dairy. Try a month of only having butter and gee and not other dairy if results aren't still optimal. Dairy can be inflammatory. 23. 21:10 Save all your bones - keep them in the freezer. Add to the bones, onion, spices, garlic and make bone broth to access more vitamins and minerals. Thanks Dr Berry! Please watch the whole video for many more details.

With respect Dr. B honey isn’t bee vomit it’s actually flower nectar they collect and store in a separate compartment, not their stomach. It’s then expelled into the honey comb. All the bees flap their wings vigourously over the nectar to make it thick sticky. When it’s the right consistency it’s sealed with a layer of wax. I’m a honey and bee lover. Also latest research shows honey has a significantly lower plasma glucose response due to its different molecular structure from other sugars. I am a carnivore but do allow myself honey in my morning tea.

Hi, your videos are very helpful. I did keto for about 3 months, but frequently failed due to cravings. Also acid reflux didn't really go away with purely keto. Then I changed to carnivore which is a complete game changer. I'm 41 year old male, 194cm i started at 118kg. With keto i dropped to 108kg. Then plateaued. Starting carnivore within 3 days significant improvements started, noticeably my knee after squatting, no pain, noticeably more energy after 1 week, sharper concentration after 2 weeks. Been 30 days and happy to continue. I'm 104kg, id like to ideally weigh between 80-90kg. Fitness wise I've mainly been swimming but will start tennis again soon, i used to play semi professional when I was younger and don't want to risk damaging joints with excess baggage. From the age of 35 my resting blood glucose levels were creeping up as well as blood pressure, this was apparent on my annual class 1 aviation medicals. So had to take things seriously before I fail. The only issue I have found is trying to find a potassium supplement here in Australia. They are available online but not at pharmacies (without a script). Apparently reasoning behind this, it's easy to take too much where levels become dangerously high.

She has gained 5 pounds did this without her PC Dr unaware of it until her checkup last week. Her blood tests all came back better than they have ever been. Doctor said they had no idea that a carnivore diet could bring this result. More like a body correction when observed. Myself, l have lost 38 pounds. We are much happier and healthier now. Again thank you.

I tried both vegan and carnivore diet in the past. To me a balanced diet, cutting out processed foods, processed wheat, added sugar, is still better than ANY diet alone. I do eat meat, i Just feel much better on a omnivore clean diet, basically Mediterranean diet: low red meat, favour lean meat and fish, carbs (also from grains in moderation) but only unprocessed complex ones, and lot of vegs fruits and legumes. Never a problem and health and lab tests never been better on exclusive diets be it veg or carnivore. My a1c is 4.8, ldl is below 100, no deficiencies at all (vit d high thanks to fish), CRP is 0.001, body fat at 16%, higher than average muscle mass and I'm 43.

If I sit down with five hard boiled eggs and only eat the first three, then wait ten or fifteen minutes - I'm satiated. Point is, I've trained myself to let the food register, then proceed eating slowly only if I'm still hungry. It does require some vigilance for those of us accustomed to over-eating. Seems the window for my stomach to send the 'full' message to my brain is approximately ten to fifteen minutes. Thank you for your efforts, Dr. Berry.

I learned this trick when I ate 6 egg YOLKS lightly cooked in Kerrygold butter. I drank my black coffee with them and figured I'd be hungry in a couple hours. I didn't eat for 12 hours! I usually fast for 16+ hours, but I had a very busy day, so I was thrilled to know 6 yolks could keep me satisfied like that. Pro Tip: When I cooked the them to my liking, I dumped them into my bowl WITH the butter. Then, I stirred them to mix in the butter and added sea salt and pepper.

But if the doctor told me to start vegan diet or I would die, I would say: I will die anyway.

I was doing carnivore for about a week, mostly just to help myself to kick my soda addiction. Then today I had a hamburger, bun included, and after eating that I felt terrible. Very similar to how I would normally feel in general before I started carnivore. I had no idea how much carbs and grains was making me feel crappy all the time until I stopped eating them for a while.

[@0ptimal]

Yea same. Like you don't realize how you're supposed to feel until you finally cut the junk. Then it makes it clear how BAD the junk actually is. People think how they feel after eating fast food or pizza or something is good or normal, but in reality you feel like absolute sht but don't know it because you know nothing else. And much of the difference is mental, like actual brain and emotional function is so much better without junk food.

[@projectalice8119]

It’s amazing how horrible you feel when you cut out all of that food then try eating it again. That is what helps me ignore any cravings that crop up. I know I will be miserable after I eat it. 😊

Increase your portion with lots of meat, some people have electrolyte problems with the carnivore diet and increasing meat consumption can help. If it doesn't work out, try Paul Saladino's diet, which includes fruit and honey. I feel better with fruit.

Do you think eating huge amounts of meat is sustainable? What if everybody in the world consumed as much meat as Americans for example? Do you think there's enough land to rear these animals and enough land to grow the crops that we need to feed them? For example 85% of the worlds soy production goes to feeding livestock. What do you think about the large scale farming practices? Over 8 BILLION animals are abused and slaughtered each year.

Brillant talk, thank you, Doc. Here is a summary of your talk. To the best of my ability. Hope it helps others listening to you. 1. commit to time period e.g 30 day challenge 2. eat until you are full 3. no snacks in between, 3 carnivore meals a day 4. fatty meat cuts 5. transition slowly to carnivore, one to 3 weeks. Bound to be some carb withdrawal. Give your stomach, liver, gall bladder, etc. time to change and adapt. 6. cook in animal fat, e. g butter. Increase fat to protein ration 7. Use real salt. 8.Clean out pantry of old stuff 9. Electrolytes - use electrolytes drops or minerals. Use a few drops of water you drink or on your meats, e.g.. Get rid of unhealthy fluids. A lot of electrolytes go out with kidneys.10. always buy good quality meats that YOU CAN AFFORD. 11. Don't forget eggs, organs e.g liver (pate), there is Vitamin C in liver, liver important in carnivore diet. 12. water. drink a lot of water, tea is fine 13. get to know local butcher, help you to know meats that you haven't heard of. 14. ox tail is full of collagen 15. animals e.g cows, lambs, "rudiment meats"16. eat animals organs (see no.11)17. Don't fret up if you slip up. don't worry about that one casserole friends bring. 18. consider difference keto vs carnivore (meat only diet). Consider spices...experiment protein/fat ratio, dairy, some do great with cream, yogurt, etc...some carnivores may find these inflammatory19. Bones. Use bones for broth. For minerals in the yarrow, getting max benefits from the animals. I found this talk really useful as i can easily do a carnivore diet as being a Chinese, we eat everything of the animal including their tails hahahaha ! I have a great chicken liver recipe, liverwurst is processed meat so make your own chicken liver (Recipe: A handful of chicken livers, one small onion, one clove garlic, 8-10 dessertspoons of butter. Fry all together, leave to cool, then blend till desired consistency. Serve with lettuce leave or eat as it is)
