​how much you lose is different for everyone because its not a weight loss diet per say...as it has to heal your body and cells, liver, etc before it starts dropping lbs. Some lose fast, some slow, depends on how much inflammation is going on in your own body.

I’m 65, eating carnivore a year and 1/2 now both wife and I. Lost 70Ibs in 6 months, pain in feet, knee, hip, shoulder and neck gone!!!! Feel better now than I did at 35. My story is similar to Pete’s, funny thing is my 24x60 ft green house now has an above ground pool inside for my grandkids. Things become simpler, grocery shopping is quick and easy, no more walking every aisle, time spent in the kitchen is reduced tremendously, no more food prep, cooking time is cut drastically, less dishes to wash, it s amazing how much time you gain back eating carnivore. Within 3 weeks carnivore my wife went from having to use a walking cane because of sciatica for two years to walking without the cane and without pain. Both of us are back to our weight we were in high school and feel fantastic.

Hi Pete, I'm day 74 on carnivore. I was going to do this for 30 days but decided it's very good. My brain cleared up the first week. Also slept thru the night. The second week I stopped frantically running to the bathroom. And my feet were feeling better. I couldn't touch my toes without extreme pain. Couldn't wear shoes over a year. My skin was hanging off my arms, I would bruise easily and the skin would tare. Now my skin is getting thicker and I have little muscles. Waiting for my turkey neck to disappear.😊 Love my meat, butter and the most nutritious food in the world: fresh farm eggs. BTW, I'm 68, 5'-5", 125lbs, don't want to lose weight.

I was vegetarian 50 years! I was a BELIEVER! 15 years ago I became very ill from Lyme, and then Electro-sensitive. I was tested for food allergies, and crappola- I was allergic to every single veg and fruit that i ate, not allergic to any meat. So I had to eat meat for a few months, improved, but went back on my veges- I still could not conceive that meat was GOOD! Some of us are slow learners. It took another 10 years before I heard about carnivore, and now, 18 months carnivore, and such amazing results. I still deal with Lyme and mold, so I'm not perfectly healthy. But the improvements are far reaching, and I believe this is the best way to nourish my body to overcome my health issues. Thanks for presenting Sally Norton's book. It helped me tremendously. I had painful oxalate dumping, but that resolved with her book's info. All my Best to You!!

I had the same experience as you. Plant based, then vegetarian, eating organic fruit and veg, no sugar, alcohol or processed foods. I had an assortment of health concerns that crept up on me, fibroids, stiff shoulder, IBS, poor sleep etc. All disappeared completely in the first few weeks of a carnivore lifestyle. It’s been 3 months now and I’m back to the shape I was in my 30s (I’m 62). The biggest surprise was that after 5 weeks my nasal polyps disappeared. I’d been battling with them for 30 years, constant sneezing, puffy face, steroids, 2 surgeries and they still grew back. I’m completely well and pain free for the first time in decades. It’s amazing how fast the body heals on this diet.

[@user-ci4pf9dx6x]

Please I am interested can you give me your meal plan and exactly what you have for breakfast lunch and dinner every day so I can prep for it. I’m very interested please.

[@mydanshi9683]

​@@user-ci4pf9dx6x Hi, it took a week or two to work out what I like and how much I need to buy but this is what I eat now: Breakfast, around 10am is a salmon fillet and 7 slices of streaky bacon (you may call it something different, thin fatty strips). I don’t need lunch. My next meal is around 6pm when I have a ribeye steak and a fried egg. I have cooked chicken thighs and cooked bacon in the fridge in case I feel hungry at lunchtime. I also buy pate sometimes to get some organ meat. After my health was back to 100% I added in a few blueberries after my steak. I can’t tolerate any dairy so don’t use butter or cheese like some carnivores, I cook with beef dripping or tallow. I bought some puffed pork snacks in case I needed to snack in the evenings but I’ve dropped that now. I gave up tea just in case that small amount of plant made a difference. I just drink water now and don’t miss the tea at all. I also supplement with 2 drops of Lugols iodine 12%, drunk in a glass of water daily. I think this helped dissolve the polyps. My grocery bill is less than when I was organic fresh fruit and veg based. I hope that helps, good luck with your carnivore journey.

@@gingercameronfordcrouch7057 I left a reply about my diet but it disappeared. See KenDBerryMD channel, a video called ‘You’re iodine deficient’. With Dr David Brownstein. Super helpful. Dr Ken says give it 90 days to see fibroids reverse. I’m not quite 90 days yet but can hardly feel them now. It was so bad before it was causing a prolapse so that’s a huge improvement.

Awesome I did carnivore for 90 days at the beginning of the year. I only lost 15 lbs. I have discovered I'm insulin resistance. But my cholesterol went down 100 points while I was on it and it brought my HDL and triglycerides to normal levels. I have several health issues. Anyway I have stopped now been 3 month and eating carbs again and feeling crappy again. I also ended up having a major heart attack It was a blood clot. So as of today I have restarted the carnivore diet. I will be 70 next week and I want to live at least another 5 years feeling good again. DR Ken Berry is who I listen to Good luck and God Bless.

My bloating and constipation are gone, as well as acid reflux, fatty liver, brain fog, inflammation, etc. I went from pre-diabetic to normal. My cravings between meals have all gone. As I dont like being told what to eat, I'm not recommending this lifestyle change to anyone, but in my case, it has been a success. Be well...

You start to crave fat instead of sugar in my experience. I felt so good on keto. Did it on and off for 20 years. It's been years since I ate clean keto, and I'm sure feeling the need to go back on it as I age. The pain from inflammation is getting to me. I know it will take care of that pain. We were raised to eat a certain way, but it's obviously not in our best interests.

I was carnivore back when it wasn't popular. I did great, but once our garden produce came in, the sweet watermelon got me. I went low carb for years. I'm 68 and I started falling without warning. Never been on any meds. I went strict low carb, but my knee kept buckling and I did not have the muscle strength to stop my fall, so I came back to strict carnivore. Within a couple of weeks, I wasn't falling any more and within a month, I wasn't feeling like I needed to hold on to rails when going up and down stairs. I've been carnivore 18 months and I'm staying put. The fresh produce, that my husband brings in, doesn't call my name any more. My husband has never had a broken metabolism and he's still his high school size. He's on no meds, but I see him having some joint issues. Wish I didn't have to deal with having to can the produce and cook it... carnivore is so simple. I already warned my husband, if he develops hypertension, diabetes, dementia, etc, then he's going carnivore like it or not. I have two dobies and I love them to death. They are the best dogs and stick to me like velcro. Glad I'm strong now, because they run into me sometimes, when they're playing. I raw meat feed them and they are very healthy.

It's very sad, but sugar addiction is very real! And when they say sugar is as destructive as meth .. . that's no joke! Your friend who lost a leg reminds me of a young woman I knew who had gotten on meth; it destroyed her physically, just as sugar is doing to your friend, and she passed away in her early 40's. Trouble is, sugar consumption is normalized, even encouraged . . . everybody does it, and even organizations like the American Heart Association have gotten into the act with the endorsement of products like Honey Nut Cheerios! Meanwhile, our health is on a decline - even life expectancy has gone down - while the big food companies and big pharma continue to line their pockets at our expense!

You are throwing you body out of ketosis if you cheat and eat things with carbs and sugar. It takes a while for your body to get "Keto adapted." On Keto/Carnivore you should be eating very low carbs or no carbs because you are switching your body over from living off glucose to living off ketones. You are undermining yourself when you cheat.

I don’t know how I stumbled onto Carnivore almost four months ago, but there wasn’t one particular “influencer” who convinced me - it was the thousands upon thousands of everyday people commenting on Carnivore KZbin videos sharing their testimonials. I was blown away. My thought was, ‘ALL these people can’t be wrong, they can’t be liars.” What did I have to lose? Best decision ever on multiple levels. Aside from the health benefits, grocery shopping is simple and less expensive, meal prep is a whiz. I appreciate the simplicity of Carnivore - it is such a remarkable blessing and oasis in an insane, chaotic world. I tell people that if my blood pressure gets any lower, they’ll be harvestig my organs… 🤣😆

Excellent video! I've been carnivore for nearly 4 months now and it's changed my life drastically. Arthritis has gone, I've lost 35 pounds and I have the energy of a 25 year old (in my 50's now) You explained how this works perfectly, you're a good teacher.

Not gonna touch the biblical reference, but just to inform ruminants can and do carry internal parasites. They're less likely to develop an overload of parasites when ranchers practice rotational grazing and their pastures or enclosures are kept clean and relatively dry, but they can still contract them from the environment, nearby wildlife etc. In fact, keeping both sheep and goats well in the rainy season can be really hard on pastures where the rainwater doesn't drain well. I can't tell you the number of fellow farmers / ranchers I know that have lost almost their entire herds to barber pole worm, for example. Just want folks to know for the sake of everybody's health, especially if anyone eats big game regularly. Deer, bison, elk, moose, mule deer, pronghorn etc. are all ruminants as well but are all also susceptible to and frequently found to have internal parasite infections. So if you eat a lot of big game, just be mindful and take steps to make sure the meat you eat is safe.

[@annaak7849]

Thank you, I really appreciate this information

[@commonsense246]

Thx you are correct, I watch Dr. Pol religiously and see plenty of parasites he deals with all the time in ruminates and ungulates. We should be careful.

[@Papadoc1000]

I'm 65 and went on it last October. I'm now down 80# and all my blood tests are spot on normal range for the first time in 25 years. I had a LOT of health issues and they are all gone now. Doc said, whatever you are doing, keep doing that. Until I told him I was doing carnivore and he told me I shouldn't do that. I asked him why and he said it wasn't healthy. I said, "Look at my test results and tell me what part isn't healthy. Also, compare that to my physical from last year and tell me what change has been unhealthy." He looked, got a little red in the face, and said, "Well, generally it's not a healthy thing but I can't argue with success. Your numbers look better than mine." So he couldn't admit he was wrong but he couldn't admit I was right either. LOL!. If you do this, the things I would change about going on with similar conditions to yours is phase over to it, drink LOTS of electrolytes to begin with, understand the first 7-10 days you won't feel great while your body is transitioning, and don't do it cold turkey. Phase transition over 3-4 days because your body is used to running on straight glucose and adaptation is a thing. The best thing I did right other than actually doing it is LEARN as much as you can from online medical experts, particularly Dr. Ken Barry. Go back tin their timelines and learn what's going on and why. Good luck.... good health!

[@kengrasso4715]

Just started this about a month ago myself. Im 62 at 5'6" and 220 lbs. Im stocky and very thick Mediterranean build. I carry the weight easily and people never think I weigh what i weigh BUT i was having all the same issues you were having and was hesitant about trying carnivore because of all the negative connotations about cholesterol. I finally had enough of the bloating after meals, mostly from breads and sugars, and said what the hell. Do it. I did a 14 days fast to clean out. Then went right to carnivore. The results were AMAZING! Besides the weight loss, no bloating the mental sharpness and clarity were amazing. Energy through the roof! Growing up in an italian house with all the rich foods is going to be hard to move from is going to be hard to adjustfrom but the results are amazing. I went from 220 and now at 180. Gut almost gone. I think 170 is my target weight. NO MEDICATIONS. People need to try this if you have any ailments. Thanks for you video. Nice to see others in the same boat I was getting results

[@juliathomas3380]

never heard the term "air hunger" before but had it all my life. Until 15 months ago when I started carnivore. I've had so many positive results but didn't realize that was one until you mentioned it.

[@denisea.9033]

I had that for so long too, they checked me for everything and eventually put me on allergy medication, which I did not take because I knew it wasn’t allergies. Eventually they checked my iron and realized how deficient I was, that caused the air hunger for me - meat based was the solution, so thankful to have found it.

From another East Texan, so happy you have went Carnivore. It is the best! Now, maybe you should put cows on the land where you use to grow vegetables. I don’t drink it because it’s inflammatory to me, but many people on carnivore drink raw kefir or raw milk that’s unpasteurized.

excellent advice thank you. I always wondered why I never ever had a problem when I ate beef.

[@theElderberryFarmer]

Sugars and seed oils are killers, Pete. Focus on grass fed, grass finished meats and you will get a proper ratio of omega 6/omega 3 fatty acids. Grain fed meats (like what you get for 'cheap' at the grocery store) will give you WAY too much omega 6. This approach has helped me go from 320 lbs to 213 lbs in the past 2-1/2 years. I want to drop another 25 or so pounds, but as long as I'm eating properly I know that will eventually come to pass. I've found a local beef supplier that grows grass fed, grass finished cows. It is more expensive than what you buy at the grocery store, but there is no comparison in quality. What price can you put on good health? I've also started raising my own meat chickens on pasture. I feed them non-GMO feed along with the grass and bugs that they forage for. The flavor of this chicken is way better than what you find in the grocery store. Take care and God Bless. p.s. - Look into Intermittent Fasting next. That REALLY turbo-charged my weight loss.

Look at Dr. Chaffee. He's a carnivore doctor and he is ripped and as ripped as he was in his 20's with less workout soreness because of carnivore. The meat and fat fix hormones and also it's easier to put on muscle with carnivore. So things were changed but with carnivore, you can train and be even better than you were when you were young. I have a client who seriously weightlifts and strength trains 3 times a week, and stair trains (thousands of steps) at the beach, at age 79.

I’m so glad your channel popped up on my KZbin feed!! We started the route to carnivore diet because my nephew mentioned it (I didn’t know anything about ) I was very supportive in eating vegetables and would get so sad that I was not successful in my garden. But I was feeling sick all the time, very tired, muscle pain, join pain, that air hunger that you mentioned and I’m not over weight at all so I was getting worried. After doing research on the carnivore diet I wanted to give it a try, oh man! I can’t believe it, I’m not doing it 100% but just by eliminating sugar and flour and most carbs I can’t believe it!! Anyways im so glad I found your channel because we as well Do Not eat unclean animals!

“To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬ This curse was never lifted anywhere in the Bible. The blessing given by Jesus was only for man not the land.

[@petebeasttexashomesteading]

I agree with you 💯 percent. But the problem is that all the common garden vegetables we grow and eat today did not exist at creation. Almost all the vegetables we grow today have only been in our diet for about 500 years. It started when Christopher Columbus and the Spaniards went to Central and South America and found all these different types of vegetables that we have today and brought them back to Europe and grew them there where they were pollinated and hybridized over the years.
