Proper Human Diet: 5 CARBOHYDRATE Questions

[@NapalmNovocaine]

Even when I was a strict vegan, I fed my cat MEAT. My vegan friends had some not so nice things to say about that, but I felt like it wasn't my place to make that choice for my fuzzy baby because... science. It absolutely seemed like cat abuse. I'm now a proud and healthy carnivore, just like my cat! 🐱 🥩

[@breg9476]

i am SO glad to hear that you fed your cat meat, even though you didn't eat it. The vegans I know feed their pets only veggies. They don't live long (6-7 yrs for small dogs) and tell me that is "normal". I just want to scream!!

Dear dr Berry I would love to hear you talking about people like me that at age of 70 years old, I am enjoying the best years of my life thanks to you. I eat 0 carb and absolutely no processed foods. I take no medication, I work 10 hour a day, I hike for pleasure every three days a week, and on and on…. And my mother is 94 and take no medication and she also on 0 carbs. So Dr Berry let’s talk about us, the old health ones thanks 🙏 to you.

[@meatdog]

I'm right there with you. I'm 71, carnivore for 257 days and now it's my choice of lifestyle eating. It's not a fad diet, it is my terrific way of life now until my forever comes. So, yep, Dr. Berry we are a huge growing number of extremely healthy septagenarians free of medications, pain and couch potato syndrome!! Haazah to us, the 70 and over carnivore babyboomer group .

[@kiela1732]

​@susansancrant249 From what I understand (from Dr. Berry) I would say 50 carbs per day would be max unless you have pre-diabetes or diabetes. If that's the case, lower your intake of carbs, sugar & sugar substitutes. I have peripheral neuropathy & pre-diabetes so I stick to a carnivore diet. Don't particularly love meat or fish but at least I can eat eggs, one of the few foods that I've found with zero carbs. I'm answering your comment since Dr. Berry rarely does. I've learned so much from him, he probably saved my life. Bless you. ❤

hi dr berry, I am a doctor in manila. For years I have been frustrated in managing my diabetic patient`s FBS and HgA1C with maximal meds and the traditional diabetic diet. Then I switched to keto and it has been success after success. I am now convinced that filipinos are carb addicts and it is killing them.

[@TheSpecialJ11]

Absolutely. People in rice cultures could stay metabolically healthy in the past because they were often working hard outdoors and fasting, and anything that wasn't rice in their diet was probably very healthy. Rice was just cheap carbs to fulfill the demands of the day's labor. Nowadays the opposite is true.

I've had Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 27 yrs old & I'm almost 47 now. The doctors put me on strong medications to prevent further damage for the last 19 years. Thirteen months ago, I decided to do Keto & IF to lose weight, get healthy & get off these medications. I've lost over 60lbs & feel younger. I'm wearing a size 10 jeans from size 18. I'm no longer taking Enbrel, Celebrex & other medications! I'm Dr. approved off all my RA & blood pressure prescriptions. My grandma had severe RA, joint damage & died from cancer. My mom died young at 64yrs old of congestive heart failure, obesity & being a type 2 diabetic. My dad died a month ago at 75yrs old from being a type 2 diabetic and he had several strokes. Both my Rheumatologist & PCP was thrilled with my lifestyle changes. Keep on Keto & IF for Life.

I agree with you Anton. I have been humiliated in public because I ate meat. At the University where I attended and worked at, there was a concert by a known vocal artist (in the 90's) and the woman who lived in a tree for two years to save the tree (I honor her for that). It was a set up for vegetarianism sermon. I whispered to a woman because I thought she maybe Native American, "What can I do in a Native American ceremony to do vegetarianism." She snapped at me outloud and the people on stage could hear and I got the evil look from them. I felt so humiliated that day. I thought the vegetarians are no better than us meat eaters spiritually. I have been working on letting go of the carb addiction I have struggled through out the years. I have lost 25-30 lbs in the last year. Thank you for posting this. You probably get harassed by well meaning gurus and people. ((hugs)) to you Anton.

Australia, Victoria. Been on the Carnivore eating plan for 35 days now after being diagnosed with pre diabetes & high blood pressure and being over weight, I wanted to drop at least 15kg to get to a healthy weight. Already 35 days into this lifestyle change & I feel so much better. My blood sugar had now dropped to a normal range, I’ve dropped a bunch of weight & my blood pressure has dropped to a normal range. My sleep has improved a lot, I’m now not waking during the night & now getting a good solid 7 to 8 hours sleep with no interruptions. I initially was just trialing the carnivore diet for 30 days just to see how I reacted to this diet. But after the 30 days, I’ve seen such a dramatic change for the better in myself, that I’ve decided to continue with eating carnivore full time, this is now a lifestyle change that I’m going to continue for the rest of my life.

I’m type two diabetic with stage 3 Ckd and have been for 10 years now. I’m 5’ 10 and weigh 145lb. Having my first heart attack almost 12 month ago I never took any of the 6:04 statins or Trajenta which was prescribe to me. Bloods where usually in the 8 area. I’ve now been on a low carb high fat diet for 4 days mainly consuming (home made drink) Greek natural Yoghurt, peanut butter, 1 Avocado, 2 tablespoons of Chia seeds and 1 tablespoon of Flaxseed late morning usually around 11am. For my evening meal I’ve been eating 3 boiled eggs and a steak My appetite has dropped has I don’t feel hungry anymore This morning before I had my drink I did a blood test and it read 5.4, it’s never been this low in quite a few years ….. I’m made up! I’l continue writing my findings down and see how it goes

I used to believe that my traditional food were optimal for me until I saw an A1C of 7.9 a few years before. My endocrinologist ordered a CGM Libre freestyle for me. The results were alarming. After each meal my blood glucose were spiking over 200 to 300 mg/dL . My meals were mostly rice .vegetables , legumes, meat and eggs. On the CGM I set a target peak of 140 mg/dL on every meal. On continuing experimenting for a couple of months I have finally settled on veggies , meat , olive/ coconut oil and diary fats. Following a 2 meal a day. Any grains or tubers or legumes were sending my glucose very high. After almost 18 months now I am off all medications and the A1C is settled on 4.8. Much better sleep and BMI came down to 22 from about 27.

Hello Dr. Berry. I live in Scotland. I have developed a bad prostatitis problem. I suspect this has been happening for decades because of my early diet that consisted of mostly carbs and cereals like corn flakes which I absolutely gorged on when I was young.

[@buckturgidson1448]

Charlotte Caretto Hey, congratulations and keep up the great work! I started taking Zoloft in January, 2004 and it worked like a charm. Felt like my old self again. Well, three months ago I (finally) decided to try getting off of them. After a ton of reading, here’s what I did: starting from 50mg per day I broke some in half and took 25mg daily for two weeks. Then broke some halves in half and took 12.5mg for two weeks. Then broke some of those in half (as best I could - they were getting pretty small by then) for two more weeks. All done, no problems or side effects. I’m telling you this simply as my experience. I’m not recommending that you do this but maybe see how your doctor feels about it. One more thing - I started on Zoloft for anxiety and panic attacks, not for depression. There may be (and probably is) an entirely different dynamic for someone with depression. Anyway, that’s my two cents. Best of luck to you.

Hi Dr. Berry. I just want to thank you for your videos. They have been a godsend!! I’m a 52 year old athletic woman and I have never had a weight problem but my A1C ‘s and total cholesterol/LDL’s were high (which my doctor immediately prescribed statin and I did not take). In exactly a month…yes one month, my A1c’s dropped from 6.0 to 5.8 and total cholesterol and LDL’s have also been lowered. Although I was not too concerned about my cholesterol because my triglycerides and HDL’s are perfect. Again thank you! The only marker that dropped was my CO2. I went from 25 to 19. Any idea why that is? But other than that I am so thrilled that I dropped those other numbers just by following your advice! Even with no carbs I have more energy than I ever did before!!

My first comment on a You tube vid for ages! Really appreciates Dr Berry's passionate and informative videos. Totally inspiring Thank you. Apologies for the length. Am on my 3rd week (as of writing) on Dr Berry:s "Proper Human Diet" "PHD" and all the initial signs are very encouraging indeed. By way of background Was diagnosed diabetic type 2 in 2000 and am soley on Metformin to manage my BG levels. In the UK the NHS, don't supply testing strips for type 2's to self monitor if not on insulin therapy so testing is self financed. Fell off the testing wagon and poor life style choices crept back in my day to day regime over the last few years. Dr Berry's you tube channel got me to re-engage and to face up to the reality of my diabetic mismanagement lifestyle choices. Denial is s a wonderful incentive to put off until tomorrow what needs to be addressed today? Dr Berry's you tube channel got me to reengage in testing my BG again and to resume HBA1C testing in 5-6 weeks (last tested c2-3 years ago! So am taking charge/responsibility and sm sticking strictly to the rules on the PHD/ low carb/ keto diet. I gave up on statins (Lipitor) 5 years ago and replaced them with 395.8 mg x 2 capsules of plant sterols to assist with cholesterol management. I have not kept abreast of my lipid levels in the interim. I appreciate that the lifestyle change I have embarked upon recently will directly affect my BG levels in the short to medium trerm and will reduce my weight and improve my insulin resitance levels no end.. Does anyone know (Dr Berry?) if a plant sterols regime in place of Statins is a regime worth continuing with? until I get my lipid profile rechecked in c 6-8 weeks in the interim am unsure? I appreciate my insulin resistance will improve or reverse maintaining this PHD lifestyle change Regards

[@BigCarmine]

Throughout history, when you compare those who lived an agrarian life to those who lived an urban life, the agrarian folks lived longer, healthier lives than their urban counterparts. The family farmer/rancher lived on meat, vegetables and dairy that they produced. Meat and dairy (fats/proteins) where readily available for harvest and consumption year round. Vegetables (simple/complex carbohydrates) were only harvested one time per year (and hard to preserve long term until the advent of canning. Refined sugar/starch where not readily available and thing made with them were considered a treat and only consumed on occasion and in small quantities (the all things in moderation concept kicks in here). This reality blows a giant hole in the modern "medical" concept of low fat/high carb diet for good health (which is, in reality, dietary slow suicide). Thanks Doc! Great discussion!
