My Carnivore Diet Results and Q&A (5.5 Weeks Eating ONLY MEAT)

[@64gjb]

Was keto for 4 years lost 90 pounds then stalled, my goal is 135 was 270, I'm 180 right now. Tried carnivore diet for a month and lost 10 pounds. I really like this diet. I don't like measuring and cooking. I just have to grab some butter, coffee and a steak and I'm good. I'M a 71 year old women and hit the gym every other day and doing well . Love weights. I love this diet!

[@DrAnthonyGustin]

glad it's working for you!

[@pamellamimi60]

Gloria + magnet that’s awesome! I’m a 63 yr old gal that works out at home. Thinking of trying it!

[@alams31]

I also staled around 180 for some reason. 🤔 I found itermittent fasting/fasting as a way to break pleateaus, it doesnt have to be permanent.

[@ashleytaylor994]

Gloria + magnet try snake diet which is just fasting

[@64gjb]

@@ashleytaylor994 I started fasting today, break it wed. after Dr. appointment.

Ya know what's weird? We sent men to the Moon about 60 years ago. We can video chat on a whim with anyone, anywhere. We can see the edge of the damn universe. ...but we're still trying to figure out what we should eat!

[@stevehill5491]

Trevor Gardner perhaps u r giving humans too much credit cause it's debatable if we went to the moon, and as for seeing the edge of the universe? Wtf? U mean we have seen a cgi and artists rendition of the "edge of the universe" And we have always known what we should eat, it's just there's a cult of ppl who want us dead or sick...

65 year old male - carnivore for 18 months, lost 45 pounds, all "old man" health problems disappeared including a lifetime of IBS, bloating, skin rashes, lack of energy, depression (and mood swings), and more. I have energy through the roof. Life is simple - also time restricted eating (8hrs). Best thing I have ever done!! And looking quite ripped. :))

REAL scientists aren't afraid to test their theories out on their own bodies. Thanks again for posting, Dr. Gustin!

[@billyboy7089]

Let's see how he's doing in a decade, if he's still around.

[@DrAnthonyGustin]

haha thanks for the support

[@tumblebugspace]

Tanner Thompson - Of COURSE it can! However, if a medical doctor/researcher is confident enough to do so, it can speed useful therapies into more common use. Again, your comments show some cognitive difficulty. Considering the rampant use of, say, psychotropic drugs I find it quite suspicious that those who advocate their use in other people's bodies do not use them themselves and have NEVER proven "imbalances" of neurotransmitters in any laboratory. Meat is not an unhealthy food for humans. You are misguided to think and say so. Vegans such as yourself advocate a synthetic diet of domesticated (i.e. man-made) plants full of antinutrients and synthetic laboratory drugs. No natural people have ever been observed to be vegan because it is as unnatural a diet as one can eat! As for cigarettes, the tobacco plant being manipulated with ammonia and other chemical contaminants causing it to cross the blood-brain barrier differently than natural leaf tobacco and become far more addictive and damaging is a case of science being applied in the service and for the benefit of corporate capitalist interests. I know of no cases where that has been a good thing for anybody. To completely discount "anecdotal" evidence is to be a mind control victim of the "authorities" who want us to look to them to tell us what we should be eating and doing.

[@tumblebugspace]

Tanner Thompson - There are really very many examples; too many to name them all here. Oftentimes, researchers who have experimented on themselves and would like the FDA, etc. to investigate and study further are stymied by corporate capitalist interests who are making too much money on the drugs and surgeries/procedures (that are treating the symptoms of disease and not the cause) to want anything changed. One researcher that comes to mind is Barry Marshall, the Nobel Prize winning discoverer of Helicobacter pylori. I'll bet you personally know people who are eating drugs for excessive stomach acid; a high percentage of them are likely infected with this bacterium. This bug is endemic in Bhutan; approximately 30% of the population of Bhutan is infected with it. The predominately Buddhist population doesn't eat meat, yet is at increased risk of stomach cancer because they host this parasitical bacterium! My favorite TV guy when I was growing up was Mister Rogers. He was vegetarian, yet died from stomach cancer. Many Indian gurus have died from diabetes and cancer, LONG before chemical agriculture. The longest lived people in the world eat meat. Truly, soon it will be common knowledge that the mixing of grain "foods" and animal products makes for incomplete, improper digestion that encourages disease. You advocate a synthetic, unnatural diet. Who cares if I don't live to be 100? I'm not a property owner, so I have little say over the conditions of my life among the civilized, in the modern society of these United States of America. Do I owe you, corporations OR the government my lifelong labor? I do not fear my own death, as the majority of my fellow citizens seem to. That makes people vulnerable to manipulation by spiritual and materialistic interests alike. You advocate adoption of dietary principles that are designed to create obedient followers of those who claim (with their financial biases) to be the "authorities" of what is healthy and what is not. Also, vegans don't seem to mind eating microscopic animals at all, either, which I find hypocritical.

[@cheefussmith9380]

Tanner, if you're interested in being taken seriously and less like a troll, perhaps explore starting your comments with something other than "this is fucking retarded" followed by an absurd analogy. can you cite some of the research "proving how terrible only eating meat is" because this is not a new diet. The earliest paper I found dealing with all-meat diet is from 1930.

[@lordzeus2652]

I have an extreme autoimmune condition that I've been under a doctor's care for decades. I've been on the keto/carno diet for 9 months. The results are incredible. Bone broth's benefits are amazing. My doctor supports my dietary choice.

[@cashukid]

@blaylum Great testimony for the Carnivore diet.

[@hdhshsh]

What has changed? Specially?

[@fruityliving3413]

Would love to know how you approached the diet and your specific improvements. I have lupus and scleroderma 5th week of Keto but researching carnivore. Any info you can share would be appreciated 😀

[@beastshawnee4987]

FruityLiving I was on Keto and switched to Carnivore-Been doing it for 5 weeks now...I used pickle juice for electrolytes, some bone broth as well-I have eaten beef, pork, chicken, salmon...I was trying not to be to extreme so I still go out to eat as well-we normally eat a ton of Asian food-so at Vietnamese pick chicken out of a curry soup and eat that, or get Korean style spare rib bbq...At Mexican I get a ribeye...But I feel ucky if I eat a sausage on my way to work...so I need to prepare more and avoid those. I have had some issues in the bathroom (sorry to be gross) BUT I took a anti-diarrhetic and so far I am taking one about every 3-4 days -But I had gut issues before-so I cannot say this would be an issue for everyone. The thing that surprised me was -I feel FREE!!! from food and food cravings for the first time in my life! My sleep apnea is better by far and I am sleeping so well! I have lost 27 lbs but I did NOt do this for weight loss-I had resigned myself to be fat long ago. I had not been able to lose weight for 25 years no matter what... But I have a ton of auto-immune issues and that is what I am trying to cure! Plus my friend got non-alcoholic liver disease and I imagined that I might get that too as well as feeling like I have congestive heart disease. My insurance has finally kicked in and I can get things checked hopefully...But I am super happy with the improvements to my life on this!

[@fruityliving3413]

beast shawnee thank you for your reply. I’m glad to hear you are seeing results. I don’t know if I’ll go all in with carnivore still trying keto for now. Don’t think I can give up sweet treats . Still have such extreme fatigue even with supplementing electrolytes etc...

[@MikeD-hn9hf]

I'm 16 days in strict nose to tail diet. It has been ROUGH with very low energy and had to abandon Muay Thai training. I was thinking about abandoning the diet but yesterday I miraculously turned a corner, energy levels were back and I trained an hour of Muay Thai with no problems - so stoked! First timers: just stick to the process and expect it to suck until it doesn't, especially if you're historically high carb/high natural sugars like I was (for 35+ years!) , Oh and get some bloods done at your GP throughout to make sure you're not red lining 👊

[@KellyeR1970]

You should also be feeding your dogs and cats a raw meat, bone and organ diet. It's the best thing you can ever do for your dogs and cats. They are carnivores pure and simple.

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

I agree. Cat food in cans contains 4 % of meat!!! Only 4 % so what is all the other crap in it? Ever since I give my cats real meat, they are thriving.

[@eni3995]

Dogs are omnivores, cats are carnivores. Humans aren´t neither nor...

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

I must correct myself: i give my cat cooked chicken, cooked beef... the same thing i eat. Raw meat can give problems indeed because of parasites and larvae in meat.

[@ChrischrosBelgium]

Whatever do you mean? ;)

[@Jayc9582]

Eni dogs are carnivores not omnivores. Dogs wolves hyenas foxes they are all carnivores. I have no idea where you got this information that they are omnivores.

[@Jaarie]

Gut problems can manifest as mental fog and joint pain. As a sufferer of both, I totally agree. Thanks for the good video.

[@peopleddiagram2920]

Omg, that was one of the most comprehensive explanation on carnivore eating, that I have had the pleasure to listen to. Thank you so very much! Your comments have been greatly appreciated. Kudos and new sub :)

Thanks! Let me know how I can be more helpful

[@kayneassasin]

I have to second this.

[@jillb6543]

And I have to agree to. Love that you have tried all. Having seen so many vids on vegan, raw, carnivore and keto - I’m now thinking the good old fashioned ‘balanced diet’ with perhaps the added consideration of ‘food combining’!

[@LeChristEstRoi]

Any diet cutting out carbs and vegetable oils will have a positive impact on health. Excess of carbs, especially refined ones and vegetable oils are killing us.

[@annifanni23]

Christus Rex it’s so true. I keep telling my grandma to stop using vegetable and canola oil. While she ha olive oil, she has this mentality that vegetable oil is good 😢

[@chrisloving6647]

It is bean oil no vegetables in them. The were used as lubricants befor they decided to feed them to us.

[@TheDeathOfLucifer]

@@annifanni23 tbh what about coconut and avocado oil?

[@LexaRulesca]

yep, thats the real trick, cutting carbs to an absolute minimum, thats why people notice improvements with carnivore, paleo, keto, whatever... but the body emits signs, one should learn to recognize what best suits him... on the other hand, most of the allergies and bad diggestion are made by bad biome in the gut and kidney/liver/gallbladder stones and limph system congested

[@LexaRulesca]

i would add some days with heavy dose of enemas and a parasite killer juice, like onion with garlic

[@adilscott6160]

Thank you Dr Gustin, I have been on the Carnivore way for 7 weeks and it has been awesome. My waist went down from a 36 to a 34 waist and it has been awesome. Love this way of life!!!!!

[@mrlloydval2887]

have any of you tried a plant based mostly whole foods diet?

[@robertp9297]

In a PLANT-BASED diet, it's impossible to get SATURATED FAT. What's wrong with these vegans?? The human animal NEEDS saturated fat!... The "American Heart Association" says we should have 5-to-6 % of our daily diet as "Saturated Fat".... According to those morons, babies should not breastfed?? Don't people know how to read and how to assimilate facts any more ?? HUMAN BREASTMILK is approximately 25% Saturated Fat! . . . . . . It must be horrible for babies, right ???

[@daveblue4303]

The first 5 to 7 days are hard when just eating animal meat, you feel fatigue and low on energy but after that you feel great.

[@velvetindigonight]

I had the same for about 3 days I felt like a Zen Buddhist with no energy! Serious sofa time. I assumed it was partly the candida dieing off as well as switching fuels eg carbs to fat. Butter and salt helped. Feeling Zen is so novel for me and so welcome. Enjoy

[@MusicforYoungViolinists]

Good to know. I’m not feeling great these first few days. Thanks for posting

[@shaunr5450]

Same, went thru some lows the first week. Day 8 or 9 was a steady improvement that just kept going.

[@SM-jw7tm]

Meat meat and more meat and Less less to almost no carbs, wow what a change. I have certainly felt a huge change in gut and digestion etc no more reflux/ heartburn. Mood has also improved or mellowed. Don’t need to eat as much as I feel fuller for longer. Bowel movements have improved dramatically. I’d never thought eating carnivore or as close to it would have provided so many positive changes short term. Some health issues remain but so far so good. Hoping long term, more benefits come to light.

[@eni3995]

Low testosterone, vitamin D defeciancy, high cholesterol, kidney stones, clogged arteries.... sounds good ?

[@DougHNuts-ee3vn]

Try a raw meat diet...your hair will not fall out and you'll get even better results but exercise care how the meat was raised...or just don't try it.

[@SM-jw7tm]

Eni, would you like to clarify you comment. Are you implying that the things you have written are associated with a high meat diet or a plant based diet?

[@SM-jw7tm]

Do you eat raw meat (beef grass fed Pasture raised) or other type of meat and if so how often? its interesting to see many doing this.

[@eni3995]

SM check Shawn Bakers blood test results after one year carnivore diet. Of course meatheads will come up with excuses immediately : steroids tho, genetics tho, sensitized receptors tho...bla bla bla If a vegan had this horrible test results everybody would say: Its the diet of course !!

[@jttaylor1963]

After reading and viewing MUCH information… I have come to the following conclusions (which are simply my own layman’s opinions): 1. Humans should probably eat only once a day, but no more than twice. Intermittent fasting is our natural state and our bodies truly thrive under these circumstances - including periodic prolonged, and occasional dry, fasting. 2. Humans are omnivores that have evolved to survive on any combination of animal and plant foods. Although we should probably eat approximately 90% animals and 10% plants… just like lactose, our bodies have evolved to tolerate more plants in our diet since the dawn of agriculture. (Population growth would not have been sustainable on animals alone IMO. The change was necessary for long term survival of the species.) 3. Today, each individual has different needs, comfort levels and tolerations - there is no single right or wrong way for everyone. Therefore, I intend to alter my personal diet accordingly: 1. One Meal A Day most days. [Autophagy is of the utmost importance!] 2. Fresh, natural foods only - mostly animal-based. 3. Drink water, coffee, tea, milk only. 4. Minimize grains, starchy vegetables and sugary fruits as much as possible. 5. Eliminate processed or packaged foods, added sugars, and alcohol as much as possible. 6. Fast 1-2 days per week (water and dry fasting interchangeably). However, the general public is too easily overwhelmed and confused, and has a total lack of self-discipline. This is where I believe all of you "experts" are missing the boat. Normal people leading normal lives need simplicity: 1. A single 4-6 hour eating window per day of 1 or 2 meals. The earlier the better (preferably before dark). 2. Eat any and all natural, fresh foods and drinks in any portions desired. 3. Minimize everything else (packaged foods, sweets, alcohol, etc) as much as possible. If everyone could receive and live by these 3 simple guidelines, the world's overall health would improve drastically. KISS!! Maybe you can do a video for normal people. 99% of us are not health nuts or gym rats. The strict regimens outlined by all of the "experts" are conflicting, confusing, and definitely overwhelming! Plus, most are presented as an "all or nothing" approach. Give the world the easy answer... "How to live longer and healthy as a regular person!"

[@eleveneleven572]

I and my fathers side of the family all suffered acid reflux and in many cases ulcers. My father had much of his intestines removed in the 1960's due to duodenal ulcers and his father died from them. We are all O -ve blood types typical red hair green eyed celts. I developed acid reflux by my late 30's and took medication for it for years. If not I'd be quite ill within a couple of days. I also developed high blood pressure and stomach fat. I began a carnivore diet 5 weeks ago and ate within a 4 hr window. I've lost about 4" from my waist and t shirts that were embarrassingly tight are now a nice loose fit all around. Even my face has slimmed. I stopped reflux meds with no consequence (I'd tried it the previous month before the diet and was quite ill) and blood pressure meds. I had a blood test last week and the doctor announced all my markers were good, my blood pressure absolutely normal 120/80 (was 140/90...I'm 63) and I find my energy levels are much higher.....I've since started back at the gym and attack the weights enthusiastically.

Are you still carnivore and how do you feel?

[@codycrawford471]

I'm 40 and I started carnivore and had no adverse effects. I'm 26 days in and I have had nothing but ribeye, ny strips, bone broth, coffee, and water. On day 17 I felt I needed electrolytes and slammed two Gatorades but that was my only cheat day. On day 3 noticed I was leaning up. Now I'm leaner and stronger than I have been since my 20s. My skin feels so healthy, my stomach and digestive system feels perfect, zero bloating, and mentally I'm more present in my day to day activities. Also my sleep has changed for the better and I have zero issues with getting a solid 8 hours. I did this to see what reaction my body had to red meat, now red meat is a must. After this 30 days is over I will slowly transition into keto but keep my meat intake up.

[@Noor-jw2tn]

You can use salt water instead of blue or orange crappy drinks

[@deep6301]

Dr. Berg has electrolytes powder that's much healthier than Gatorade. I've had similar results as you on carnivore. Best wishes.

[@Terri_2.0]

The thing I found that works great for me re: organs meats is to use it as a nice side-dish instead of a full, big meal. When we think about hunter-gatherers getting ready to eat from a large animal, there would only be a modest amount of organs compared to muscle meat and fat, so they'd each only get a bit every time they hunted. I have maybe 5 or 6 ounces with my steak or beef patty and it goes down much, much better than if it's the only thing on my plate. All the best and thanks for sharing your experiences with carnivore--lots of great info--thanks!

[@jesusvelarde213]

I know it's been a year but I have a question. Do you cook the organs you eat or just get them raw?

[@sereezee]

1. Why did you stop at 5.5 weeks? 2. Did you reintroduce ALL the foods you'd previously eaten? 3. Were there reactions to any foods from previous eating on reintroduction? If so, how long did the reactions last? What kind of reactions? 4. Lastly, what kind of diet were you on prior to carnivore? Any required or self-induced restrictions? If so, of what? tnx for the vid. Important for those testing the option.

[@microwavefriend]

Great video Anthony! Love your podcast and your keto products. I've been doing the carnivore diet for about 4 weeks now and agree with 99% of the things you said here. I feel amazing and have lost 30 pounds so far.

[@bibibachmd9995]

I have been on keto for around 6 years. My weight from super high carb to keto did not change because I am already thin and did not need to lose weight. I am female at 5'8" and 112 pounds. I was into endurance sports such as triathlons and marathons--which I no think is healthy or good. Now I do weights once a week and walk daily. It is enough. Being a retired anesthesiologist I now have the time to do research on optimal health. So far I found Keto to the the best but will try the carnivore diet based on your info which is extremely helpful. I have often thought eating a lot of vegetables was not that great and caused bloating. I am looking forward to eliminating all the vegetables and seeing how I feel. Thanks for shedding light on the gluconeogenesis and high protein.

[@Banana-lk7tf]

That's for this video! I'm now convinced that that's going to be the only thing that will cure my gut. Of course, I could starve the bad bacteria with dry fasting but because I am already 10 lb underweight, there's no way that I can do the lengthy dry fast necessary to achieve this. The second best option would be a meat only diet.

[@Blonde_Cyborg]

The whole goal of Keto and Carn is to let your body heal and not worry about counting Marcos after awhile. Once you kick your sweet tooth and processed food habit you can then start to listen to your own personable needs. I lost weights 4 times per week with out counting. I go between carn and Keto. You’ll know how much you need by listening to your body. One night I ate a ribeye with 3 eggs. Was still hungry so baked me a piece of king salmon. Then that amazing euphoric I’m full feeling happened. After a while listen to your body. I’m stating 6 months of nutritional eating. Bone broth is your friend. So is marrow.

Your comments fall into line with my Keto experience. I’m into month 2 and @61 I’ve lost 7.6kgs & now feel 30 years of age again. You wouldn’t know I have 2 arthritic knees that were due to be replaced (not anymore, for now anyway), I wouldn’t know I have bad feet (Plantar fasciitis), no bloat, no flatulence, crape skin is gone, dermatitis is gone, cravings for carbs or sugar is gone, lethargy is gone, sleep 30% less than I used to, wake up totally refreshed & alert, body is stronger, smarter (at least I feel that way), the list goes on.... Thing is my 91 year old mum is on it too, hasn’t helped her bad knee as it’s just too far gone, nor has it helped her hearing! But, she is saying she feels terrific & her rings now keep falling off her fingers as she has lost a few kgs. As with most (if not all) who do the Keto diet I thought I couldn’t live without my carbs (pasta, rice, bread, cereal, potatoes), my fresh fruit (pawpaw, mango, mangosteen, lychee), my veggies & salads? But guess what when in ketosis your brain tells your body, “You don’t need that shit, you’ve got plenty of body fat to convert to ketones & it I starts running short eat more meat & fats. Wow, that’s bazaar for me to just say that. Doing my 2nd set of full bloods in another 3 weeks to compare those I took beforehand which were sensational. Keep you posted!

9 weeks in and leaner stronger eating fatty beef and water. I still do coffee and a bit of pecorino cheese as well as heavy cream. Rock on Doc I appreciate the folks getting this out there!

It’s amazing how much the body can adapt to such differences in eating habits.

[@ostinspace]

Great info, been doing this for a couple of weeks now, I'm using grass fed ground beef and eggs (Vince Gironda), down to 2 meals a day, fasting until 1.00pm then have 5 eggs and 400grams of ground beef. This keeps me full until around 7.00pm. My stomach is so much better for it. I used to be a 6 meal a day guy on a sugar roller coaster but not anymore.

[@iaindennis3321]

I started Keto a few years ago and moved to Carnivore a few months ago - great results, I’m not too strict about it, sometimes I’ll add in a bit of broccoli and cauliflower - feel so much better, years of inflammation disappeared or a lot better.

[@Wayne-wl8lw]

Went keto 2yrs ago and had nothing but great results. Feeling even better on carnivore. Both definitely improved my stomach issues. Was always about fiber but sat on the toilet all the time, I get rid of it I go once a day and feel great. Has definitely helped with inflammation. Unfortunately I was hit head on in 2008 and it really screwed up my back , neck and right foot so I'm in constant pain but elbow and knee pain from years of weight training are gone and I'm still in the gym 6 days a week. Body composition is changing for the better and strength is up. Thanks for the great info. Definitely gonna stay on this but if I run into any issues I'll share with you.

Some people have adaptation symptoms and some don't when I first tried paleo ten years ago I dived right in both feet first, going from SAD to under 20 grams of carbs per day, I had no negative symptoms whatsoever other than some minor fatigue for the first five days but it wasn't enough to impact my daily work for example. When it comes to fasting in my experience and talking to others who eat both paleo and carnivore, most people naturally switch to eating twice a day without feeling hungry or starving themselves, real food is satiating so we don't need three meals a day and grazing in between.

[@patriciabeckman8573]

Glad I watched this very informative video. I an obese and diabetic and have managed to lose some weight and better control my blood sugar over the past 2 yrs on low carb & keto meal plans. I started trying carnivore about 3 days ago. My fasting blood sugar each morning have been amazing and I can even begin to notice the reduction of bloating. I only eat once a day and carnivore has been very filling and simple. I have noticed a few hours of headaches and possibly the biome die off you mentioned. I want to see how this works for me at least until the end of the year. Can't wait to see how it goes. Thanks again for your time and for sharing this information.

[@stackedhippiechick]

The food pyramid should be turned upside down. What’s the matter with these people who are advising low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets? It gets worse. Not only does increased carbohydrate-induced insulin tell your body to store carbohydrate produced blood sugar as fat, but excess insulin robs your muscles-your engines of fat-burning metabolism-of their ability to burn sugar and stored fat for energy. So the excess carbohydrates in your diet not only produce excess insulin that makes you fat, they make sure you stay fat. This is how lethal excess carbohydrates are. The medical people who are trying to force your cholesterol down to zero forgot to tell you that as your cholesterol level falls to a certain point, you jump from the frying pan of heart disease risk into the fire of death by all sorts of other diseases. What kind of diseases? Cerebral hemorrhage, gall bladder disease and many types of cancer; falling cholesterol is a marker for several types of cancer. Cholesterol need not be lower than 180 mg/dl to 200 mg/dl range. Carbohydrates, processed sugars and chemical laden processed foods are what stimulate body fat storage-and sales of cholesterol drugs. And the caution from government panels and their propagandists against cholesterol drove many people to consume foods high in sugar and carbohydrates. It’s not a “diet” as much as it’s a lifestyle change. It starts with fresh, whole organic foods-primarily raw-and only free-range, non chemical-laden meats.

Very detailed information, cheers. I'm 2 weeks in and feeling fantastic. Gut has never felt better.

in my experience gut problems are mostly caused by eating too many of the hard vegetables or not in sufficient combination with soft water absorbing foods. Replace broccoli, onion, peppers, cabbage with the softer potato, squash, pumpkin, zucchini and carrots. I don't trust this carnivore fad diet. there is no scientific data supporting this for long term health in humans.

Recently, my naturopath treated me for metabolic acidosis. My kidneys were not releasing bicarbonate, so the lungs began the hyperventilating process to clear the acidosis. No one thought of this and so.I struggled since 9 yrs old (now 58) with shortness of breath (stairs were painful) among other problems. Since treating with baking soda and checking my PH which I aim for 7.4, I can joyfully walk up the 45 stairs to my vehicle. Puffers are down 75%. As long as I stay Carnivore/Keto (chocolate my only weakness really) we stay on the easy peasy road. So, for some of us who perhaps had a ton of stress, especially in childhood, poverty and grief, I believe the PH can be a huge factor to investigate after a lifetime of diet investigating. Also, there was histamine intolerance. No allergy medication going on three years now, even in the grassy plains!!

I don't think eating meat itself is a moral issue, but the way we eat meat en masse in todays day and age is. In 99% of cases farmed animals are treated badly, pumped full of harmful (to us & them) chemicals and exist solely to satiate an increasingly overpopulated planet. We don't do meat like our ancestors did, that's for sure.

Carnivore diet works for so many people because it's an elimination diet. I went carnivore for a while to help with an inflammatory disease. It helped like nothing else. I have to stick to a low oxalate diet now which means I have to limit my plant intake, and eat the lowest oxalate vegetables like cabbage (which I love love love.) Nuts and seeds are a rate treat. The great part about the carnivore diet is you just eat until you're satisfied. Your body will adjust and tell you when you're full. Over time you'll eat less and also eat less often because you're satisfied longer. For sure it's a good way to reset your system.

Loved listening to your responses. I have been following what I guess would be called keto-carnivore diet and listened with particular interest to the "how I'm eating now" section toward the end. I was delighted to hear that you're eating pretty similarly to how I have been intuitively approaching my diet as of late - mostly meat but with some low fiber veggies, a v o c a d o, and some nuts. I feel a little bit better that way and also that it's a bit more inclusive when eating with others. Anyhow, thanks for the well thought out responses and comprehensive analysis!

[@jbombm8059]

Glad to hear it worked out well for yourself! I tried it for a little more than a month a few months ago. First two weeks were pretty bad, no energy whatsoever, and headaches. But that was expected, so I pushed through. The next 3 weeks were...alright. I didn't have any bloating, which was really nice for a change, and it totally killed my cravings for junk food, which IMO was the best thing to come out of it. However my energy level was consistently low. I didn't have ups or downs, which was nice, it was constant energy, but the energy level itself was low. Like, I wasn't so low on energy that I needed to lay in bed all day, but the energy level wasn't high enough where I actually wanted to get out of bed. it's like I was just content laying there. Which I guess was better than before where I *NEEDED* to lay down. Been doing a raypeat diet for two months now, most of my calories come from goat milk, and Oj, and I have good energy all throughout the day, so I'm sticking to this for the foreseeable future. I'm kinda bummed that the carnivore diet didn't work out for me, I really enjoyed eating steaks everyday.

[@sandrabentley1420]

O.j.? You can't drink orange juice on keto or carnivore, way too much sugar.

Dr. Gustin - Fantastic and thorough breakdown of your experiences on the carnivore diet, thank you! Love the mTOR question. Ha! In regard to your gut flora / microbiome issue I’m not sure how your are testing, but I work in San Diego which is a hotspot for biotech and one of the companies I interact with is Sun Genomics. They sequence stool on a repetitive (quarterly basis usually) to monitor, track and tweak a precision - custom probiotic approach to gut flora. As with any product the “ingredients” (like Perfect Keto / Equip) determine the products effectiveness. The product this company has is called Flore’ (probiotics). In this case, the science which I am familiar with (library prep, sequencing, enzyme efficiencies, DNA fidelity rates, etc...) really factors into the efficacy of the product. If you are interested, please let me know and I’d be happy to put you in touch with the team. I’ve worked with the owner and company over the last 4 years and they really know their “bugs” and science. The owner is a microbiologist and expert in sequencing and they’ve come a long way in helping out with gut / normal flora issues. I can’t tell you how much I’ve appreciated all your videos, podcasts, healthy foods, books and more so if I can return the favor I am happy to. You can check them out at www.sungenomics.com and of course contact me directly if you’d like to chat with them. Thanks again for the great carnivore review!

[@DrAnthonyGustin]

I say why in the end of the video. I don't think eating meat 100% of the time is the healthiest approach and I just like certain other foods and want to incorporate them. And no on deficiencies if you eat well rounded (fish, meat, organs, etc.)

[@dkamikaw]

I think you have a great approach on how to start the diet. Make sure that you try the diet for at least 3 weeks, going "all in", so that your body can adapt. However, I think you, as well as a lot of people, seem to deviate from your system when adding foods back in. You should probably allow the same 3 weeks to see if your body can get used to the the newly introduced foods. The downside is that it would take so much longer to figure out what your body can tolerate.

[@surfstev]

I feel best eating a totally raw diet consisting of beef, beef organs, fruits and vegetables. Sat a steak out in the sun a few days ago to warm it up and accidentally left it out too long till it was partly cooked. Boy did it taste good! Wish I could afford grass fed.

I will do whatever it takes to prolong his quality of life. Also my sister (who also lives with me) is diabetic and has a very bad eating habit, I try to help her with the knowledge of food and fixing meals for her and what she needs to do, but her doctor tells her to combat bad eating with taking more insulin. I tell her it's counterproductive to eat a low carb diet and then take her insulin that is supposed to lower her blood sugar but then she feels the need to eat carbs to counter the insulin that lowered her blood sugar that wasn't abnormal in the first place because I feed her a low carb diet.

Hello Dr. Gustin! Do you recommend the Paleovalley Grass-Fed Organ Complex capsules? Will it be necessary to consume additional organ meats on top of that supplement?

And is there a specific macro breakdown to adhere to in regards to protein vs fat intake? Thank you for any insight you can provide! I’m excited to give carnivore a shot!
