If you enjoyed this interview, you're not going to want to miss this one with Dr. Tom Biernacki all about signs to look out for that you may have diabetes. He explains at home tests you can do using an ice cube to see if you have diabetes. Plus we cover how to get rid of toenail fungus. Check it out using this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpDCl6GeeLWoptU

[@BerhaneKirosEmbaye-fn4sb]

Obesity by itself is not a disease but it hinders them to be active.so they can easily decrease gradually in a long time but with patience by practicing fasting not only this but also stopping consuming of meat of all types. A person should do this however people fail to do this.

[@Livingtabitha]

Just a question. By sugar do you mean fruit or like processed sugar and carbs like pasta bread cookies and cakes? Because I am not active at all. I’m a woman over 40 who has struggled with my weight most of my life and I do very well on his diet. I’m like a lot seriously. I used to be carnivore but it didn’t work for me. I think there must be some biological reason for this. We all need to stop making such blanket statements. Carnivore will work for some and so will animal based with fruits. What doesn’t work for anyone is a high processed diet of junk.

I think Dr. Saladino's approach makes sense for individuals like himself who are HEALTHY AND ACTIVE. Most people are UNHEALTHY & SEDENTARY. I think a more strict low carb/Keto/Carnivore diet would work to get them back on track to HEALTHY.

[@shoden]

That's totally true. If we're fit, we'll eat whatever we want and be healthy for sure. Our lifestyle is different and for myself a carnivore is the way to go.

[@MoneyStrategiesSOULutions]

I have the same feeling. He is extremely active, gets plenty of sunshine AND he lives in a warm climate where fruits are naturally there and part of the environment. Living in a much colder climate, fruit makes at least no sense in the colder months. I did try some local fresh fruit late summer and fall, but my body still didin't like it, at all. Maybe after years being a carnivore and healed up more, my body could do it? Also, take iodine as it is missing in all our diets - so that will help the thyroid.

[@YamatoForever]

You can lose weight on any diet that restricts calories.

[@FC-PeakVersatility]

I think the problem is people are looking for ONE perfect way to eat, but we are all individuals. We have to look at each person as an individual. There are some people, like Kelly Hogan, who knows she cannot eat carbs. There are people like Saladino who need carbs. I just don't think anyone should be using the word "everyone." And I've been Carnivore for 4 1/2 yrs with astounding results, now 69yo. Sometimes I eat strict CV for weeks, months. Sometimes I eat some fruit, maybe raw honey in my tea.

[@Michael-008]

Was diabetes an issue before seed oils were introduced into the food supply?

[@dylanfgarrison]

Paul may be correct, for some people. Not me. I went full carno in May for two months. Lost 21 lbs (200 to 179), came off my BP meds and felt amazing. In July I decided to try Paul’s approach. I added fruit and honey. Within three days I was (once again) eating Oeros and ice cream. It was the sugar, it was the carbs. One banana and all I could think of was wanting MORE. I had no self control at all. Also, the more sugar I ate the more depressed I got and then the more sugar I ate to find a little happiness. Fast forward to December and I’m back up to 197 lbs. BP is high and I’m depressed for most of the day. :(. I’m now a week back into full carnivore and feeling great. I had that first week of mostly water weight lost (5 lbs for me) and I feel light as a feather. Tons of energy and zero depression. I think what Paul misses is addiction and exercise. Most of us are addicted and none of us can get the exercise he does being a single guy in Puerto.

[@themekfrommars]

I think it's worth echoing one of Lili's comments. Maybe your protein/meat content was not high enough. As for the Oreos and ice cream - don't buy them! Also circle back on your gut biome. If you are starting from a SAD, your gut biome is likely more obesogenic. Try to eat Kimchi, Sauerkraut, Kefir regularly. As your gut biome changes, your cravings for food types will change

I'm carnivore a few years, but ala Saladino, I ate half a watermelon last summer. So good. Blood glucose shot to 187. Did some brisk walking for half an hour and BG came down to 120. Stopped eating fruit and back to Carnivore.

[@07mjames1]

I don’t see the issue? Of course your glucose rose with watermelon. Do you expect glucose to remain low all the time? It will always increase when eating.

[@skunkyboy69]

You become physiologically insulin resistant after restricting carbohydrates, this is to be expected. If you had that same amount of watermelon after a week of eating carbohydrates, the glycemic response would be much attenuated. Also, there is nothing inherently wrong with postprandial blood glucose rises, the keto/carnivore community have brainwashed us into thinking low blood sugar ALL THE TIME = health.... perhaps low fasting insulin, or low fasting blood sugar is a good proxy for health. But a rise in blood sugar after eating watermelon... This is the normal state of affairs!

[@Julia29853]

@@skunkyboy69it’s supposed to rise after eating sugar/ carbs, to get sugar out of bloodstream, right?

[@Livingtabitha]

Hey my love. This is what happens when you go term no carbs. The body isn’t as good at responding to carbs and therefore you become insulin resistant. If you eat carbs more regular like say carb cycling then the reaction is less extreme. And also always eat your carbs after a heavy meal of meat and fat. That will help prevent a super high spike. But this is why I’m not carnivore anymore. I keep small amounts of fruit in my diet. I don’t eat it every single day though. Just when I’m craving it. I also typically go for berries! But I do enjoy me some watermelon in the summer for sure. Ate a lot of it this last summer.

[@Livingtabitha]

Also it is this insulin spike that helps regulate electrolytes! Which is so cool of you don’t over do it. No need for all the salt and minerals if you have like 1 fruit a day. Also avocados are a great low carb fruit that’s good for electrolyte balance. Good luck friend! You got this. Just listen to your body.

@@TehLiquid No, it's not. In end of the day, it is the energy that matters. But it's not just the energy of glucose, it is also that the blood sugar spike might increase hunger after it comes down. So you might end up eating more after the smoothie than you would without the smoothie.

When I increase carbohydrates, and it makes me gain weight. It also trashes my GI tract, whether high carb or low carb fruits and veggies, (I don’t eat grains or legumes) which didn’t resolve until going back to low carb ketovore. The more I hear, the more it seems that every person is different and needs to experiment and eat what keeps you happy and healthy. My labs have been “normal”, except ldl cholesterol, and after a year of carnivore eating I feel better, think better, and sleep better at 61 than the last four decades.

[@revolutionaryhealing9992]

That would not have happened had you done a green juice for breakfast, fresh green salad for lunch and riced cauliflower stirfry with green peas, red pepper and butternut squash for dinner. The key to sustaining a plant based diet is to incorporate as many nutrient dense foods as possible which have a low glycemic load

[@revolutionaryhealing9992]

Once you understand that glycemic load, fat soluble vitamins and saturated fat content are the most important factors to consider for health, then a plant based diet becomes much more beneficial to work with. Most people fail on it because they’re clueless about nutrition

[@babygorlie]

Not many people workout for hours and then relax the rest of the day. Most people are using this diet to fix mental or physical health issues. I think that is something he should mention more. Reducing inflammation from food, extra weight or stress as much as possible is most important for people starting this diet. Sugar and carbs doesn’t help because most people don’t properly limit these, eat a lot of junk along with it, and lack enough activity in the day. Nothing wrong with a few pieces of fruit every now and then, but it’s just not necessary every single day.

[@themadisonstevens]

I appreciate Paul’s ability to be honest abt how such a low carb diet wasn’t working for him. That would be extremely difficult after writing an entire book about a diet that suggests that they’re non-essential. I’m somebody who cannot function long term without carbs, which reflected in my labs and day-to-day life (lowered t3, extremely high cholesterol, fatigue, inability to gain muscle, loss of cycle, hair loss, etc.) It’s a legit thing for some of us…if not all- esp women who still cycle. Carbs actually aid in adequate hormone production for women during certain times of the cycle, I’ve read. I didn’t want to believe it for a long time- def a state of cognitive dissonance. I really appreciate Paul Saladino for being real, honest, & willing to take the heat from the Carnivore community. People are so willing to bandwagon and turn on people (cancel)…I’m thinking that the whole “different stokes for different folks” def applies. Not every person’s body functions the same. To believe that nobody does better with carbs, imo is ignorant. Let’s say perhaps, some do and some don’t. Also, Lilly, it’s so cool that you’re willing to bring on ppl who are not an exact regurgitation of your own values/beliefs. That’s such a lost art, and I really appreciate how open-minded and loving you are towards ppl. You also convey info in a non-dogmatic/fear-monger-free way. That’s pretty dang needed- esp in the nutrition space. Keep it up 👍 👌💕

I love Paul Saladino. It’s incredibly hard for people to admit when either they were wrong or something isn’t working for them. A lot of people say because he changed he’s untrustworthy and I believe the opposite. He’s more trustworthy because he did the honest thing for himself regardless of the backlash. It’s stupid to keep doing the same thing even if it doesn’t work for you.

[@Livingtabitha]

@@drbills1236 this is an easy one. No different than why some people tolerate brassica plants and other don’t. Even though we are all human we obviously have genetic differences. On top of that let’s say one person has developed an autoimmune disorder and another person has not. The person with the autoimmune disorder may not tolerate many foods at all due to chronic inflammation and histamine issues while someone who is healthy may tolerate most foods. Our gut health, and certain disease can dictate what is a healthy diet for that individual. We are not all the same. There’s a lot of diversity in humans that you don’t see in other animals. I don’t know if people are just being super close minded or what but it is not so black and white. There’s a lot of nuance.

Interestingly in my own case going carnivore raised my body temperature, increased it to the normal body temperature, that is 36 degrees Celsius. My body temperature was always 35.5 degrees before, and when it actually reached the normal 36 degrees, I already had the symptoms of fever/high temperature. My hands and feet been always cold and in general I've always been a cold person. Not any more. I feel fantastic, not cold any more and I am full of energy. I eat a piece of fruit here and there, from our garden, not from supermarkets. Maybe like one apple a week, or one handful of berries a week. (Fronzen only now, as it is winter now.) My died prior did not include fast food and junk, it was home grown, local, seasonal, organic, homemade only. And I felt sluggish, tired, depressed, I was gaining weight, I did not feel like exercising at all, hence once I started exercisimg I did not manage to keep on doing it for an extended period of time. Since I am on carnivore diet, I feel the need to move my body, so I exercise daily - and I actually enjoy the exercise. I don't feel tired after, I can do lots of daily activities. Prior to carnivore if I had some exercise I surely sat on the sofa for the rest of the day, as much as it was possible, because I was knackered. When I eat a bit more fruit, my body says now no thank you. My stomach is simply not happy. We are beekeepers and I did not even have a tiny lick of honey since I started carnivore. I know had bad is honey for me, I just have a little lick, then I end up licking a couple of tablespoons full and maybe even several times a day. And it goes like that day after day... At the moment I would surely not manage to eat more fruit, honey and other carbs. When I was a child, during summer holiday we always stayed at the lakes, for 2-3 months, of course I needed to eat more, even more carbs did not make me fat, you simply burn unreal amount of calories when you are in the water. But I do not manage to be in water and exercise 3 hours a day, I wish I could, but that is not reality for most people. If I would be a single person, with no husband, no kid, no pets, no farm animals, no gardening jobs, but living in a flat on my own, sure, I would have more time to exercise in nature - still not in water, it is far too cold most of the time in Scotland and most days are even rainy. Being outside even all day, doing chores plus exercising is not burning as much energy, as doing water sports and being in water. Extra carb would probably not be an issue at all, doing all the water sports, every single day. But that is not how most people spend their days. So I can't really find the recommended higher amount of carbs benefitial at all.

People who follow quantum biology will argue that Paul Saladino can thrive with more carbs and fruit because of where he lives. Being in Costa Rica you are closer to the equator and those foods are solar barcoded to those specific geo-coordinates so our bodies can tolerate it. But if you're living in a different latitude where fruits don't grow in the season that you're in then there is a circadian mismatch, which is why eating a banana in Canada is a bad idea during winter. Plus, Paul Saladino is in the ocean most days so he's grounding himself and is not under artificial blue light and within non-native EMF radiation from devices, this would explains his carb tolerance. It really depends on your current metabolic state, if you follow circadian/circannual principles and where you are living in the world, i.e., how close are you to the equator, and if living a lifestyle that promotes mitochondrial health.

[@NoonyNewborn]

Wow, that was so interesting to read! Thank you. I was wondering for a long time already if the certain foods that grow in the certain areas are for the certain people that live there, and of course to the certain times. It was just a vague idea in my mind that this extreme change in supply and availability of every food in this modern globalist world has just messed us up because maybe someone from western Europe is just not supposed to eat tropical fruit in January. I never knew that there's actually a kind of science that studies this. I personally just base it on the fact that God created all these things and humans and so there must be a reason why there are entirely different foods in Germany than, let's say, in the Philippines (picking this example because I was astonished when I saw what weird and different everyday fruit they have 😆). This is really interesting and would make perfect sense to me. It also explains why we all have so vastly different experiences and there's no one size fits all. God bless!

That's what I think is exactly the same and you hit the nail right in the head. I'm from Costa Rica. I don't know if, what I'm about to say could be the confirmation of what you are affirming. When I lived in Costa Rica I was very lean, I had a lot of energy and I ate everything and anything. I never gain weight. I was very active walking to church very, very long distances. I didn't have a car so I took the public bus everywhere as well but I was always 165lb (65kg) I believed I could be wrong in the math. I there. I was never fat. Fast forward I moved to the USA and still the first 2 years I was in shape not fat. After two years I got married and I gained fat. Not because of the marriage lifestyle. I believe my mitocondria was altered by moving from my ancestors land where my mitocondria was born. I read a book from an Spanish author and experts and mitocondria, he said in that book that when you eat fruits you must eat the ones that grow in the same area where the sun shines and eat them seasonal, because the sun transmits information as it does to the ground transferring electrons to the soil and land and we absorb those when we are grounding. The book also talks about the migrations of a person migrating from one area of the planet to another. The author says that if a white person a Nordic one migrates to the Ecuador, a tropical place that person will experience a big improvement in his life. Is not the same if a black African person moves from Africa or a tropical person moves to the northern area of the planet that will actually degrade his life. The author also talks about a Chinese person that was living in some places in the world I don't remember where and this person was expecting health issues, this person decided to move to where his ancestors were and he started seeing health improvements. I believe Paul moved to an area that is beneficial for him, since he in a different podcast said that his ancestors were from a tropical area in Europe some places I don't remember I just remembered are the closest tropical area. So most likely he moved to a place that was beneficial for his mitocondria. The book talks about how your mitocondria knows where you at and if the fruit your eating is seasonal or if is foreign to the region you are.

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

@@Charlesmoon7 That is super interesting!! When I was 19, I was used to eating whatever I wanted, and however much I wanted and never gaining any weight, but that same year I moved to Mexico for a semester in college, and I quickly put on 15 pounds! 😂 It was probably due to all of the corn tortillas and Carlos Quintos that I was eating, but I figure it also had something to do with the fact that I was eating foods my body wasn’t used to. When I moved back to Texas, I slowly started losing the weight, then stalled, and it wasn’t until I did about 40 minutes daily of Pilates for two weeks that I was able to fit into the same pair of jeans I wore before I left. Anyway, these are some interesting theories! I have been doing carnivore for over six months, and my energy is less than when I was eating lots of carbs, so I am going to add in the fruit (seasonal for Texas) and honey!

My question would be, if you’re eating that many carbs, you will not be in ketosis. So, does Dr Saladino think being in ketosis is good or not? If yes, then don’t eat carbs. If no then eat carbs. I have not found a good answer to this question.

@@keshavrao212 Eating meat does not cause fatigue at all. It's the carbs with the meat-that combination -a burger with a bun is deadly-even a dog knows better than to eat the bun-I saw that recently in Mexico (the dog ate the burger with cheese and bacon and left the bun). If you eat a carnivore diet, there is no fatigue after a meal. If meat is so bad then why does the Charaka Samhita say that almost all illness can be cured by meat broth? I have a lot of questions too and I'm currently reviewing my understanding of Ayurveda from the original texts, looking to confirm an Ayurvedic basis for all the healing that is happening with people in the carnivore community. Thanks for your comment and I'd like to hear any info you find out too. But seriously, try eating red meat only and see how you feel afterwards. Chew well if you are not used to it or choose ground beef which is easier to digest if you are not used to meat. I was surprised too-no bloating and perfect elimination per Ayurveda (after the initial cleaning out of the intestinal tract of all the built up fibre which can be a period of a couple of weeks of diarrhea). If there is ample animal fat and beef-there are no digestive issues. So why isn't every Ayurvedic practitioner/doctor prescribing this diet? I don't have an answer for that yet. If someone has eaten a high oxalate diet for years, you might have to do a modified version to avoid oxalate dumping. That's one caveat for going full carnivore. Anyway, hope this was helpful. I am planning on doing a video about Ayurveda and the Carnivore diet once I have done enough research.

They also say cholesterol is bad. I literally laughed out loud when hearing it like an evil maniac belittling them. They say we don't need that much protein and we get enough protein from plants.. none of the herbivores directly depend on the plants for protein, rather they depend on the bacteria present in their digestive system for protein. If I was given time with these 'satvic' practitioners, I will absolutely destroy them. I even spent time in figuring out about ancient Indian diet, especially the people and heroes of our epics. None of them were vegetarians, even the seers, saints, and the legendary 7 rishis ate beef too. Vegetarianism came about in the 11th century to north India and 15th century to south India. I am a Hindu and I say 'right now' Hinduism is the worst religion ever, people in this religion wrongly demonize meat and even avoid beef. I know my culture is not like this, but my people are way too much ignorant. If I ever had the popularity and power of those 'satvic' influencers, I would literally change the destiny of this country.

Try starting with beef and high fat and then note your improvements, if any. Add back dairy, fruit, and select carbier food until you note the onset of negative consequences. Everybody is different.

[@davidkellymitchell4747]

All true! The body uses glucose (sugar for fuel) regardless of which micronutrient you choose because without glucose you pass out and die if you don't refuel. When a person faints they are given honey and it's instant relief. Too much buildup in the blood causes health problems but correct, sugar/carbohydrates isn't a killer. The body wants it, it needs it. A malfunctioning metabolic system is what kills. When everything is working right you can eat all you want and whatever you want and not gain a single pound. It's actually hard to gain weight or have any bad lab results when the body functions correctly. I believe all the chemicals,hormones, preservatives and insecticides humanity is bombarded with everyday causes metabolic malfunction. It has nothing to do with what our ancestors ate because our ancestors didn't inject their animals with hormones to make them grow bigger.

All the fruit in our supermarkets today are modified from their original forms which didn't have much sugar in them. Apples for crab apples, watermelons were big as your fist and virtually on the edible, carrots were made from a poisonous root, Brassica oleracea plant is a toxic plant that THEY made cabbage, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, kale and a few others. Oranges, apples, peaches, avocados, grapefruits, pineapples, papayas, mangoes, etc, etc, are not found in the wild. Most all have been modified to become what they are today full of sugar! It is rare to ever find sugary fruits with such a high sugar content as today's manipulated hybrid fruits are. So everything in our supermarkets you see you won't find in the wild, think about it. In the past there was vast wilderness and grasslands grasslands where billions of Buffalo, elk, dear, Antelope and other game everywhere. The population was much lower also which the herds could sustain. So much has changed since then and they've created ways to feed people without the animals!

Lily, concerning your dandruff. Pls don't think this is me telling you what to do, just thoughtful brainstorming and trying to think outside the box to see if there could be something we've all missed I've starting to notice after doing Carnivore for about 3 years now that one of the biggest underlying problems with me and maybe some of us is actually hydration. Out of all the diets, Carnivore helps me stay hydrated more for a couple of reasons. Its low carb (i've noticed like you, that eating carbs drys my skin, there's a technical reason for this, but it gets complex), it's low fiber (fiber in you're gut draws a lot of water), and its lower salt (depends if you add salt or not. I notice when i have beef jerky, even organic healthy kinds with no sugar, it drys my skin, probably due to its high salt). So generally, with whatever water intake I normally get, it seems like I stay more hydrated on Carnivore. That being said, even on Carnivore i would have days where i wouldn't feel my best until i drank more water. I have experimented with my water intake and I definitely feel better the more i consume but sadly it makes you pee more. It seems like the body likes to or only can, slowly absorb the water we drink. So I try and space it out as evenly as possible. I notice my hair can become way more visibly hydrated, and surprisingly this can happen quickly for me. Also, my dry skin on my fingers slowly goes away. When i was very strict and didn't cheat, i eventually noticed i got a point where I didn't need as much water and subsequently peed less often We are all human and require the same things, but from our different life choices, we need to replenish our bodies differently with what we consume. It seems in my case, being active a lot (constant sweating), and eating lots of salt and carbs growing up got me to a breaking point of dehydration. More water might not be the answer for all, but I always encourage safe experimentation, especially if your having some sort of skin issue. Thanks for the wonderful video today and all the work you do! You are amazing!

l live in Washington State in a northern climate. In October when our apple tree produces an abundance. I wrap LOTS of apples individually in paper and keep them in our cold shed and along with my carnivore diet I eat one of those apples each day. I find just that one apple does not trigger my tendency to be addicted to carbs. The apples last well into the spring. I also freeze our own handpicked blackberries, strawberries and blueberries and cherries, so a handful of those each day will give me that bit of fruit that lasts until the new summer fruit are ripening.

[@WendyWzOpinion]

I’m not sure what to say. So many studies and doctors with the opposite view… And my own experience is the opposite of this. My temperature has increased almost 2 degrees since going carnivore. I’m on day 104 today. My thyroid levels are better, actually all bloodwork is improved. LDL is slightly higher but still in normal range and I’m not convinced high LDL is bad. I’m glad he’s found what works for him, but I don’t think his experience or a environment is typical for most people with metabolic issues like those of us finding relief from carnivore after decades of suffering while eating “healthy” and still being sick. 😟🤷‍♀️

[@theoutsidewithin9138]

I think his problem was over consumption of organs.

[@dan-312]

would love to hear Paul Saladino vs Richard Johnson and Rubert Lustig. Richard's book "Nature Wants Us to Be Fat" says his research shows that 8 grams of fructose sets off a cascade of visceral fat storage and leptin resistance and eventually giving them insulin resistance etc. Excess fructose is hibernation food and not part of our natural diet. I wish Paul would just admit that he is addicted to sugar so he goes to great lengths to justify his position relying on studies of very low participants, etc.

[@BaltimoreTom]

Natural sugar does not make you fat.. the gigantic amount of grains, pasta, oats, bread etc etc in conjunction with fruit and other things make you fat.

[@michaeloliveri240]

Agree. I think Robert Lustig’s work points to a keto/carnivore diet being optimal for human nutrition, even if he doesn’t necessarily state that position himself. The way fructose breaks down causes damage in the body similar to alcohol. I have yet to see someone who advocates for carbs in the diet address that.

[@cheesbobmcgrady]

What’s funny is Paul has stated multiple times how he has reached out to Lustig for a debate and Lustig won’t debate

[@user-ws2fj6ie9u]

​@@michaeloliveri240 It does not break down like alcohol just because it goes to the liver. If you are an active person like saladino, the fructose would readily be available in the bloodstream and wouldn't really go to the liver and instead be burned off. The simple solution is to lacto-ferment fruits, because the sugars would be turned into lactic acid. Plus if you are on a low carb diet (animal based), fruits basically being the only carbs you eat, the liver stores would be depleted frequently anyway if the person is fat adapted. Also, carnivore is great in combination with carb cycling but alone long term causes electrolyte depletion (along with any zero/low carb diet). And gluconeogenesis helps for people with extremely low carb, but prolonged can do things like increase triglyceride due to insulin suppression. Lack of insulin release is problematic because it has secondary functions besides regulating blood sugar.

[@Julia29853]

@@user-ws2fj6ie9uwhat other things does insulin do? I haven’t heard that talked about much

[@PhoenixTTD]

This is an interesting video. I think the main problem is Paul's perspective. At one point you asked him who could be keto at least temporarily, but I don't think he answered that question directly. He also said he works out 4 hours a day. Young healthy professional athletes can eat fruit no problem. You do not have to worry about Olympic athletes or NFL players developing diabetes from apples or even bread. People searching for diets are already fat, probably have taken some steps towards diabetes, are already insulin resistant, have some disease or are on their way to disease, have some damage or fat in their liver, and are sedentary or have low activity. These people can benefit from reducing sugar. If you have no damage or no risk factors and you are young, healthy, and active; a reasonable amount of fruit will not cause diabetes. But once you have damage and you cannot be active enough to use up the most efficient fuel, you need another plan. Paul sees how fruit acts in his body working out all the time. If he were 60, obese, and sedentary, he would see the benefits of keto. Also, nobody knows exactly what causes insulin resistance. We have indications of what influences it, but we don't know.

[@jaroslawprokop6943]

He is absolutely right. I did keto for 6 months, I do a lot of bike riding and high intensity sprints. Keto caused muscle loss, testosterone dropped to 160, heart palpitations, my bike riding suffered, crappy mood and weight gain. Keto is not for all.

[@bradleyswaney6100]

I've been carnivore for 6 months. I am going to try and put back a bit of fruit in my diet. I have bad stomach problems and skin problems at times. Also, pain in my joints, etc, is bad. I've lost 60 pounds. I'm feeling better but looking for help from foods. I'm still having cramps, too. My muscles are not doing great. It's hard to eat enough for me. Thank you, Lillie!❤❤❤❤❤

Hi there. Cramps and joint pain may be a lack of potassium, magnesium and salts. Dr Berg has a great electrolyte mixture I have used for a few years and works great. I do have some carbs most days but low and the odd day higher. I exercise regular but not hard.

Has Dr. Saladino ever considered the reason he was having problems on Carnivore was he was eating too much liver/organs and overloading his system with the vitamins and nutrients found there?

@bart-kay pointed out that Saladino had classic copper poisoning/toxicity symptoms from eating too much organ meat

[@JonWRowe]

In many ways we are all in "unchartered hypothesis waters." He may know more than the rest of us; but I don't think knows more than the other keto-carnivore scientists who are skeptical of this move. Personally, I'm all for self experimentation. I myself and many others here I'd imagine are doing such and seeing results. I'd like to see Saladino try going back to carnivore and stay easy on the organs and report the results. @@tristanlee8912

[@SarahPerine]

It’s all fascinating and I think the answer is to keep an open mind and experiment with yourself!! I’ve been using a high fat carnivore to stay in therapeutic ketosis fighting cancer. Now that I had my tumor removed through surgery, I’m working on raising protein to feel stronger as I have a very active job… but still try to stay in therapeutic ketosis. I have that abstainer and not moderator physiology but I would LOVE to get past that someday. I think what Paul says about this is interesting… My biggest takeaway is that switching things up on your body might increase metabolic flexibility, increase metabolism and promote resiliency and health in our systems. Low carb (Dr. Berg-style- high veggie) improved sooo much for me. I had been vegan 25 years and vegetarian a total of 32 years so I know I needed that animal fat and protein!! Hashimotos reversed, weight lost, depression gone🙏🏽… but I adopted Paleomedicina’s PKD diet for my cancer and that definitely stabilized it over 8 months of measuring before surgery. I also did a lot of intermittent and prolonged fasting. Lots of 3-5 day fasts, one 14 day fast and one 23 day fast. So who knows but we all should spend time paying attention to what seems to help our individual bodies and do that!! Adjusting as needed!

Thank you both very much for this information, 61 years old man from Finland, I was too in carnivore for health issues, painful osteoporosis. After 1 1/2 I had same problems as Paul said he had. I took his advice and it works, thank you Paul.

[@dreamofmermaids]

Nope, disagree completely. I've been on every diet in the world and got diabetes!! No matter how healthy i ate. Its sugar and carbs that killed me. Now I'm healing from diabetes, fatty liver and diverticulitis on a carnivore diet. I did the fruit and meat diet and started getting diabetes again. In all due respect saladino is a very healthy active man, most will continue damaging themselves eating like he does. And I'm sorry, saladino saying that rice, sugar and honey does bot cause diabetes is irresponsible and dangerous. More people have cured their diseases eating carnivore and people eating carbs continue to get sick and fat.

[@urbanfrog8466]

The really interesting thing with seed oils is that they were originally produced as industrial lubricants, and were labelled as toxic and unfit for human or animal consumption. It wasn't until much later when there were shortages and rationing in butter and animal fats that some bright spark realized that if you bleached the gross greenish brown colour out, and deoderized it to get rid of the disgusting smell, it became palatable enough to use for cooking in deep fryers and industrial food production.

[@jcrossland8265]

I tried carnivore for a year in an attempt to reduce inflammation and auto immune issues. I had to introduce some carbs back into my diet because my appetite deminished too far to support an active lifestyle with a slim body build. I also experienced some electrolyte issues too. So there is something to what Paul is saying, but im currently happy on around 100g of carbs a day, avoiding all grains and seed oils.

[@jamesortega8681]

if carbs has nothing to do with insulin resistance then i can eat as much carbs as i want is his logic. yep very safe advice. so no one in the history of man experimented on this? dr chaffee says it only takes 5 grams of carbs to trigger insulin response. why does the body want to send insulin if carbs are so good for us

[@allvena1571]

To people who are lost , Try this approach : Find where on altitude you are living most of the Time and adjust your diet … the more sun the more fruit the better . The equator habitants need fruit to deal with hot climate. That’s why we have abundance of fruit during the hot season , everywhere. When cold comes , switch to strict carni with some carbs from dairy and Little bread … pasta … 80 to 20 ratio So for those who experience summer and winter … adjust your lifestyle accordingly. Winter ( carni ) and summer ( fruit based )

[@justified2065]

I found that changing your diet every now and then is the best thing you can do, for example 1 week high protein diet, another week high fat, another week high carb, when you are changing the sources your body mostly works on, what happens is that the body kinda gets shocked and you get a huge burst of energy that last for a few days.

I have some fruit, sometimes, usually with Greek yogurt. Like 75 grams of frozen blackberries that I picked myself in the summer. And some milk now and then. Plenty enough sugar for me. If you don't do well with no carb, do low carb. Fructose is gonna kill that liver like alcohol does.

Here is the thing. Before giving up sugar, I thought it was impossible. After I stopped eating sugar, I have stopped having crashes in the mid afternoon. Good. Then I stopped eating processed food. Life is better after that. Now I have stopped eating carb, life is good. I don't have low blood sugar or anything. It is almost like we don't need to eat carb to sustain our blood glucose and to maintain our general health. Maybe, just maybe we have been lied to by the medical establishment all these years?

[@urbanfrog8466]

Greetings from New Zealand. I really wanted to dislike this video, but a lot of what he said did make sense in relation to my own experience. I tried strict carnivore, but I didn't do that well on it. It wasn't until I added veg ('fruit' veg like zucchini) and berries back into my diet that the issues I was having cleared up - some of them within a couple hours of eating veg/fruit again. Like so many others, I am coming to realize that there is such a wide spectrum of diet that works for our species, with each person needing to find what works best for them in their circumstances, that there is no one single diet that works for everyone. The huge diversity within our species, the vast array of adaptions that have enabled us to survive and thrive in so many diverse environments and under so many diverse conditions, is a level of diversity that makes us unique, with most other species evolving to specific environments, conditions, and food sources. So it is no wonder there is such a wide spectrum of dietary possibilities for us.

Humans were not designed to do excessive amounts of exercise. In northern climates killing slow moving mammoth most likely didn’t require aerobic fitness. Plus they were a large, high fat food source that sustained the group for days to weeks without them needing to exercise(hunt) again. In the tropics the food moved faster requiring sprints and it was lower in size and fat. Thus, a food source that is easily converted by the liver into glucose.
