Started keto/carnivore about 18 months ago due to cancer diagnosis stage 1B ovarian cancer. Had ovaries removed but declined 6mos of chemotherapy. I’ve lost 30lbs, my body composition has drastically changed to lean muscle and strength! Cancer has not come back! I eat red meat daily and lots of eggs, I still like salad with extra blue cheese! Doctor said cancer would return and it has not! I’m 67 and I look ten years younger! Hopefully, I stay this way!

The carnivore diet (also called a zero carb diet) is a high-protein fad diet in which only animal products such as meat, eggs, and dairy are consumed. The carnivore diet is associated with pseudoscientific health claims. The Carnivore Diet, is nothing but a TikTok, KZbin and Facebook Food Fad. It’s a diet where people are trying to “talk-it-right”…magical thinking.

Anybody who hasn't TRIED a total carnivore diet cannot possibly understand the TOTAL switch off for addictions to other foods that they currently think they cannot do without. The internal mental freedom, increase in energy, mental clarity, mental stability and a million different other things cannot be experienced by a half way house. Once you TRY IT and you break through to the peace in your body you will understand. While you are playing on the edge adding a bit of this and that you'll never totally understand what you're missing. At the point where peace and energy descend... There is NO sense of restriction, no loss, only FREEDOM and health in a way that no other person or writing could have prepared you for. Can you risk 30 days to find out..? Can you go for 90days?... Is that all can take to turn your tanker round? "oh, you can't live like that forever.." they say... You know what, I'm not... I'm living ONE day at a time to the MAX... and one more and one more. The PEACE is soooo valuable, I dont know whether I ever want to give it up for how I felt before. Sceptical?? Go on, I dare you, try it, properly, and find out for yourself, 30 or 90 days and write below what happens for you. 👌👍💪💪

I'm 77 and I had a CAC score of 305 in January 2023. I've also had angina episodes. I'm eating a meat heavy ketovore diet (mostly carnivore but may include a couple vegetables a week). My wife and I lost 50 pounds since going low carb. Her high blood pressure is now normal. Her calloused feet are 99% better. I was using a cane three years ago and now I don't need it. In fact I walk 5,000 steps or more a day. I'm sticking with my high fat diet and plan to get my arteries checked again in January 2025. My triglycerides to HDL ratio is 1.0 which indicates a very low risk for heart disease.

[@firnobulax]

Super curious if you lower your CAC score. I’m basically a new man after starting to eat this way. God speed!

[@kenadams5504]

The trigs to hdl ratio (1 :1 for you) is actually just a proxy measure of insulin sensitivety and over-all metabolic health .Your cac score of 305 shows an amount of Calcified/hard plaque which means the Atherosclerotic process has begun already ,and a ct Angiogram would be needed to see if you have any soft plaque ,as well . I just think its not very prudent to interpret your 1:1 as whats in your comment, when you already have some plaque in your arteries .

[@drshanebaker]

@@kenadams5504 calcified plaque is not the problem that soft plaque represents. If the current metabolic numbers are good, saft plaque is likely resolving or resolved. The hard plaque will not likely change.

Meat and animal fats have everything your body needs and nothing your body doesn’t need. Your body does not need plant toxins, pesticides, sugars, fiber, carbs that act like drugs in the body with withdrawal symptoms that affect mood and brain fog, feeds mold, feeds bad bacteria, and is hard on the digestive system. This diet alone got rid of symptoms I was having from mold toxicity, Sibo, pmdd, cptsd, brain fog/fatigue, stress, inflammation, chronic pain, acid reflux, and I lost weight - all in one month. Treatments for these costs thousands and ongoing and weren’t even working! All managed within a month from carnivore. I am spending less money on groceries by getting grass fed beef and wild caught fish too. The downside - the shame and invalidation others give me. Thank you for this podcast - there is so much potential for this to help those who are suffering.

[@igorgasperec]

Hi. Amazing results 👏...but just one question. How do you maintain the calorie intake when on carnivore diet? I looked at this and I'd have to eat a lot of meat every day to get to 2000kcal...olive oil perhaps?

[@somethingelse9535]

@@igorgasperec Not really. Dinner is a steak and mince (1 lb total). For breakfast bacon, 5 eggs and a sausage. That's about 1800 cal. The rest is butter, eat several pieces a day. Easily pass the 2,000 cal mark.

[@EmilyNeumaier]

@@igorgasperecyou don’t need to count calories on this diet or eat that much. Your body tells you when it’s hungry and when it’s full, not when it needs another carb fix from blood sugar lowering. Protein and fats are high calorie, it doesn’t take much anyways. I can just eat a can of sardines and beef with ghee, butter, tallow a day and weight lift. EVOO in the morning and at night or throughout the day. But my body can tolerate these things, some may need to be more restrictive for the first month or they may need to eat a ton at first. Some days I need to eat more, whether protein for fullness or fat for energy or salt/potassium chloride for focus. You learn to listen to your body not count calories.

I started carnivore because I was always hungry, I was working out so much but didn't get that BODY I was pushing for. I've been carnivore about 3 months now, I'm back up to 175-180 lbs but my body is much smaller and lean than it was at 158lbs. I know it might be hard to believe, I still lowkey cry every time I weigh myself but then I look in the mirror and immediately don't care anymore lol. My breasts have gotten bigger as well. In addition all my other issues: Period pain, headaches, anxiety, acne, cellulite, thinning hair, soreness, and fatigue has all decreased or completely gone away. I'm not sure where all the weight is going, I check my tummy in 2 different spots every week, and it stays the same or it goes down. My clothes are looser.

Belly fat is the hardest to lose. I've been either keto, ketovore, or carnivore for 2 years now. I've lost 70 pounds and still have 70 more to go. Every 2 weeks I write my weight and measurements down in my journal. I have lost inches around my neck, my chest, my arms, my wrists, my thighs, and my ankles. But my belly is slow to shrink. For 2 years I believed I would shrink equally all over as I lost weight but I now realize that is not the case. While other fat goes away belly fat is here to stay, at least for me it is.

As a believer in Jesus as my Lord and Savior I believe my days are numbered. Nothing I do will change that number. However, I can live my life in my best nutritional state in order to live vibrantly until the day I die vs living sick and miserable and making those around me miserable too. I’m not dogmatic however I am meat based 100% of the time. A deviation from my daily routine is ketovore or keto

Not only are today's Dr. just Rx writers, they get mad at me because my body does NOT respond well to most Rx but they only try Rx....when my mother was a young nurse, they did so many things to help people feel better, most worked better than Rx...then the stupid low fat thing came in a ruined women's health.

I love Shawn... so practical, logical... sensible!! I am not a carnivore as I eat a low carb (not keto), very clean whole food omnivore diet with plenty of animal protein... I'm a very healthy 66 year old but have minor RA (not on meds ... but pain and stiffness in my hands - no swelling)... by trials and experimentation, I KNOW nightshade vegetables make things much worse. I'm currently experimenting with eliminating dairy (the plain Greek yogurt I had been eating) and now, 4 days in, I believe I'm feeling less pain and stiffness, but I'll see. Plants and dairy can be very problematic for so many and its so difficult to figure out which foods are the culprits. For instance, both nightshades and dairy O NOT cause me any noticeable gut issues... BUT a few days later, joint pain... I, and I think most would not figure out the correlation since the issue is delayed. That is why the carnivore way of eating can be so helpful as an elimation diet. Also, a permanent diet for some and somewhere in between for many others.

He is so right about addiction to food, but I cannot help believe that 14% of the population is addicted to food. It must be higher. Addicted personalities jump from one addiction to another, and bounce around. It can be booze, cigarettes, sex, drugs, money, gambling, etc. Instant self gratification is the major issue, and can that be beat? It hides and rules most people's lives. Most people lack discipline and so to eat carnivore for a month, I would have to be locked up.

Eat 20-50 percent protein as meat beef with fat give satiety and secret GLp1 to feel full. 25 percent of protein used to digest the protein as energy.Meat will be digested and absorbed before reaching the colon so microbiome is not involved. So we don’t need prebiotics and probiotics and fermentation in the colon.Only 4 percent as human can digest fibres so we need microbiome to digest vegetables and fibres. If suffering from IBS used to fast 1-2 days then eat little clean mince meat and one cooked potato and one tomato.( my personal story), then after years ate kabab and backed chicken in Tanoor.

[@tscmod]

Hello, here some tips, one don’t wait start now! It will take your body a little time to adjust to the new diet, you will most likely get diarrhea a few times in the first few weeks (normal) you want to eat high fat, stay away from lean meats for the first few months. Eat butter and I mean eat it like it’s meat, when you eat, make sure to eat until your full. Don’t worry about amounts just eat till feel like you don’t want another bite, also make sure to use salt! I recommend Redmond salt. Make sure you intake water and Electrolytes thru out the day but not to the point your urine is clear, yellow to medium yellow is what I shot for. The next important item is get yourself some Lugos Iodine this is a must I use 5% daily. The next big item for you to be aware of is that you will begin to dump Oxalates from your body, it will make you feel like total crap, and I mean bad on some days! To deal with this issue, you will need to slow the dumping down, so a small piece of bitter chocolate or better a small glass of milk or a cup of black tea will help slow it down which will lessen the negative effects. Look up a video by Sally Norton on Oxalates which will explain why it’s happening and how plants have caused most of your problems. I would also recommend fasting this will allow your body to repair and replenish your mitochondria which is important for healing, this will happen naturally when you don’t feel hungry anymore (I only eat once a day now, it’s not a choice it’s what my body wants) this varies by the person and the illness, so it’s not a one size fits all. You will find in a very short time much of your symptoms will start to reverse you need to give it time. All of my previous health issues have completely reversed including but not limited to PTSD, I am 58, and I have energy of 28 year old, with everything that goes with feeling 28! and I feel fantastic everyday remember it just improves, be patient give your body time to heal! I will NEVER go back to eating the propaganda food diet, we need meat and eggs and butter and little else to have a good healthy life! Best of luck!

[@alxdava2004]

You should be excellent according to your list, just get started.

[@ShineOn..]

I would use some electrolytes. 'Keto flu' is real. Electrolytes really help with that. And if you would eat something off plan don't beat yourself up! Next meal just go right back to carnivore!

Love Sean Baker! What should I do if I cannot access the quality beef that you obviously eat?

[@Mhel2023]

What I've been advised to do is to start with what I can afford. Ground beef, eggs, chicken, pork, lamb. Search out Manager's Specials in the meat department - I've seen plenty of steaks marked down. Some are even eating the ground beef sold in the plastic chubs and hotdogs from Walmart which is all they can afford, and still getting results. Imo we all gotta start somewhere. We can always tweak as we go along. The main thing is to cut the processed as much as possible and no sugar, flour, snack stuff, fruits or veggies

At 76 I've been bedridden more than active and, still, my doctors have done exploratory surgeries, removed my gallbladder, treated my painful joints with meds...right...I won't bore you further with a list of meds I've taken over the years.
