The Carnivore Diet Trap

[@Whiskey3169]

Over three months into the carnivore diet with daily intermittent fasting, and the results are life-changing! Here are my numbers: * Weight: Down 30 pounds * Blood Pressure: Improved from 139/90 to 123/73 * Glucose Levels: Dropped from 123 mg/dL to 102 mg/dL * Ketones: Now at 3.0 mmol/L * GKI (Glucose Ketone Index): 1.8 This combination has truly transformed my health and my life!

[@NAVIOROLtd]

Exactly! After so many changes, there is no way to go back! Only one way- forward with smart carnivor lifestyle (with high anymal fats,, all possible types of meat, salt and some iodine, because the soils are depleted)

I only ever get bloating, gas, stomach pains whenever I reintroduce plants or non animal foods into the diet. Have never felt so great eating delicious food.

[@thecarcleaner8364]

Me too

[@adim00lah]

Even eating fruit?

[@MACTEP_CHOB]

Fresh garlic usually messes me up. It wasn`t like that before. Done with it.

[@raymorris952]

All those toilet issues whent away after I whent carnivor, ketovor! It's the gluten and vegetables that are hard to digest, I don't have any bloting or indigestion, I'm now fully carnivor and have never felt better. Meat eggs bacon and butter, some hard cheese and sometimes Greek yougart. That's all.

[@thecarcleaner8364]

Same with me I don't get none of what this guy is saying. My bowel movement improved with less to wipe

[@nikkijack911]

Right! Im waiting for the ppl with colostomy(or other ostomy) bags to chime in.

[@mr8966]

The number one best effect of the carnivore diet that I never expected was the sleep benefits. I go to sleep within ten minutes of going to bed and stay asleep all night, neither of which has happened in TWENTY years. 🥩. Also, I’m never hungry, even when I eat.

[@TheEnglishCoach]

I honestly think the REAL issue is parasitic infections that go untreated for decades and cause literal blockages in our digestive systems. Ask me how I know... I used to have SO many digestive issues and food intolerances, even symptoms of malnutrition/malabsorption and psychological issues like severe brain fog, anxiety, depression etc. I kept eliminating everything from my diet and wondered what on earth I'd be able to eat. I finally discovered the ROOT cause... parasites! And eliminated... hundreds. Now I can eat anything, I don't need to take digestive enzymes with betaine HCL when I eat... I don't get constipated, I don't vomit after certain meals, my skin is looking so much better, my inflammation has gone away and I could go on and on. Parasites are WAY more common than people think. When we were kids, we could eat anything, no problem. But then we get these infections and they grow and multiply and live UNCHECKED in our systems. I honestly think PARASITES are what are causing so many people to try and thrive on the carnivore diet. No fiber means no blockages. Mean also has lots of nutrients, and for the parasites that eat glucose, they probably starve and die and get eliminated.... so you feel better and thought it was the carnivore diet that's the answer, but the real answer is getting rid of the dang worms! They can be as long as 12 inches in our small intestines and tapeworms can be even longer. Liver flukes are smaller but they cause a ton of damage too. I really hope doctors start talking about this because millions of people would get instant relief with the right medication. Btw, when I say I eat anything I don't mean junk lol. I'm able to follow a balanced, organic, whole-foods based diet... with absolutely not digestive issues and amazing focus and energy. In case anyone is wondering what I did, I took 3 doses of Reese's Pinworm Medication (which also kills roundworm)... available in Walmart or Amazon, about $10/does... took one dose, two weeks later took the other, and a week later took another. The medication doesn't kill eggs, so the extra doses are for whatever hatches after the first dose. And I will be taking this twice a year (with my whole family) for prevention, and I'm also learning about natural detoxes to make my body as inhospitable as possible for these things. If you have digestive issues, this is probably the piece of the puzzle you've been searching for for years. It took me 16 years to find this on my own. You're welcome!

[@mattm1686]

The first problem is people think it’s gonna be easy and it is not easy to get over your food, addiction and carbohydrate addictions. The first three months for me couldn’t have sucked more but once I got through that, changed my life in every way, nothing out of a bag of a box is worth feeling like shit.

[@thecarcleaner8364]

So true

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Many dont have addictions and then carni is very easy Many ppl don’t gain weight by simply thinking about a strawberry either Physiology is a crapshoot

[@angielo8070]

Same here. I'm sticking to it because I want the benefits not because it's easy. Who wants to go from prediabetic to diabetic? Not me.

[@scottruether2500]

Zero vegetable oils . You might as well eat axle grease from the auto parts store because that's what that stuff was invented for. Lost 50 lbs. in two years on carnivore, I'm 53 yo. two bad knees from my job as a auto mechanic. Didn't exercise one bit. Lots of energy and sleeping like a baby . Looking forward to the next benefits of loosing the next 50 lbs. Currently 325 lbs blood work is great.

[@Meathead-10810]

I saw a review of a mechanic removing the vegetable oil from a car after someone ran a car for a while on it and after seeing that, I think real motor oil may actually be better :)

[@polibm6510]

"You start having more oils." What?!

[@NAVIOROLtd]

Yes😂! Oils are not on our menu! Just butter and tallow (or any animal fat really).

[@EricAnimeFreak]

@@NAVIOROLtd Is it weird i like grassfed lamb tallow with my ribeye steaks every night? I render my own beef tallow too from beef suet, but something about lamb tallow is really good.

[@lightsfury_nord]

I've been on the carnivore diet for over 3 months coming from a "healthy" chicken, rise,vegetables, oats, almond milk, berries etc diet. And now I feel and perform the best I have in my life as a 35 year old dad. Carnivore is the true human diet!

[@jayhoggard92]

Meat heals. The carnivore diet is the optimal human diet.

[@gloriaiarango]

@jayhoggard92. Actually i's no the meal that heals, it's the other things that you eliminate from your diet. Meat sustain you while your body is healing... I have been carnivore for 6 years.

[@dorenewhitacre1908]

Strange how Dr. Shawn Baker has no problem 8 years on.

[@AscensionSeries]

Salt neutralizes oxalic acid and is one of the other reasons why they need an abundance of salt i.e. salt lick. The other reasons is mineral uptake to their bones and likely hydration. We can't hold water in the body to metabolize anything without salt and is said where there is salt there is water within.

[@timesofourlives5642]

How does too much fat cause pancreatitis?

[@NAVIOROLtd]

In any case😅

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

It’s carbs

[@mattsnookman34224]

I made it 2 minutes and bailed

[@anotheryou218]

Mind blowing how something as simple as just eating meat can be made to seem all but impossible. Talk about TMI!! This is so depressing. Look, if you want to go carnivore, just do it. Of course you're going to have some unexpected reactions. Listen to your own body and make your own tweaks and adjustments as indicated. Successful carnivores share a common trait, which is a sense of adventure and fun about what they are doing and a willingness to experiment on themselves.

[@anitadinovo6643]

I was forced into carnivore from degenerative gastroparesis. I cannot digest fiber anymore and it caused me severe fatigue, stomach pain and alternating diarrhea and constipation. I am grateful that it is helping lessen my symptoms but I have to take HCL with betaine and electrolytes. I make homemade LMNT and mix it with seltzer and I do some dairy but mostly meat and eggs and butter. I still have diarrhea one month into it.

[@nikkijack911]

If i have too much electrolytes too quick that happens to me

[@matthewyaklin8636]

I was gonna say, lower the electorates some and see if that helps the diarrhea. Also lower the fat ratio until you get good and metabolizing it better after 3 months you should be able to eat all of it no issues

[@MicheleBelles]

I added kefir and that helped a lot.

[@OttawaRealEstateAgent]

No trouble digesting carbs, dude what you talking about carbs are causing diabetes, 50% of world is now pre-diabetic. Show us your abs with your carb diet. 😂

[@mattnieri1202]

Dr. Pierce is talking about digestion. You're talking about metabolization, not digestion. 🙄 So a person may have type 2 diabetes, for example, and doesn't metabolize carbs well, but they still digest it in the stomach and intestines much more easily than protein and fat.

[@computertooter]

Being able to digest carbs is different from eating them. Carbohydrates are not harmful if you don't eat them. 😊

[@adim00lah]

You literally just proved my point, India eats a lot of processed food. Vietnam is the lowest rate of diabetes in the asian pacific, again it's because of little to no inclusion of processed foods.

[@OttawaRealEstateAgent]

@adim00lah yeat tell that to the Indians who are 50% diabetic and eat carbs. You can eat whatever you want, your funeral. There is enough evidence out there.

[@adim00lah]

@@OttawaRealEstateAgent You literally just proved my point, they eat a lot of processed food in india. Their own scientists say it's AGE's, advanced glycation end products from processed food that are the cause of their countries' sharp increase in diabetes. Vietnam has the lowest rates of diabetes in asia, again due to little to no processed food.

[@LMay64]

Great info! I was doing really well for the first 4 weeks, then just a day or two of loose stool and a few days later, stickier small stool, just as you described. I did not know about the detox of lecithin. It didn't last long, but its nice to understand what my system was doing. Also hearing a bit about the collagen and connective tissue is interesting. I don't add a collagen supplement, but I do end up making and using a good bone broth each week. Omega 3s are another interesting subject. I've been trying to eat some fatty salmon and a 2 or 3 cans of sardines each week.

[@MACTEP_CHOB]

Why are you talking about olive oil on carnivore lmao

[@ewaldbracko7117]

Thanks, that was very informative. I'll watch it again. I think I'm dealing with some of those trap issues. So, maybe I will try some of those things you suggested here.

[@mattnieri1202]

The 1st 2 weeks are the toughest, & the 1st few months can be tough. Some of the recommended supplementation to get you through the start are: • Pink salt, lots of it • electrolytes, especially potassium and magnesium (& calcium only while the body is eliminating oxalates) • Betaine HCL, all that meat is difficult on some people's stomachs • have a high oxalate food on hand, such as cocoa powder, almonds, or spinach, etc. to slow down the diarrhea that can happen from oxalate dumping • As recommended in this video for bile production (i.e. fat digestion): ox bile (there's also tudca), egg lecithin, and L-taurine • Also recommended here, some people may need some enzymes or an enzyme complex

[@mattnieri1202]

Thank you, Dr. Pierce!!! This was an extremely helpful video!

[@mattnieri1202]

I forgot to mention some people may need DHA, which Dr. Pierce also discusses here.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Swedish bitters also (after meal) Lipase also (with meal like oxbile) For fat digestion

[@volkstouareg5620]

How far out are your calls typically booked? I clicked on the link and didn't see any open for January or February.

[@gingebrien2408]

I do not think you were clear as you jumped all over the place. First and I will be dogmatic a Carnivore diet is eating animal and not plants. It’s an elimination diet. Adding meat to your diet is not Carnivore. And it’s an almost no sugar preferably hight fat moderate protein to high diet. One should avoid vegetables oils as they are not animal based are they. I am not saying one can never ingest olive oil , coconut oil but they are plant based. As is coffee. Albeit many will not give up the coffee. Honey & fruit are no. There are reasons to be strict through the first month as you correct your dopamine dis regulation and get beyond your sugar addiction. One can not eat too much fat, it won’t be absorbed. Yes you will have loose stools if over eaten. Carnivore is not on initial implantation a ketogenic diet. A typical steak is two protein to one fat. You really want a higher fat to protein ratio because you will stimulate insulin secretion with the high protein. Unless you do not have a gall bladder it is very unlikely one is lacking bile acids. And pancreatic insufficiency is also unlikely. If you have these issues you should be reaching out to an experienced carnivore advocate who can direct you. It is extremely beneficial to learn the beneficial to learn the lies of our American nutritional guidelines and the deduct cholesterol heart hypothesis prior to starting. One must liberally use salt and if your over consuming fluids you are likely to drown your kidneys ability to recycle electrolytes. Dear doctor reduce your video it was a rant without clear objective teaching. Dr. Ginge

[@loriwilson-n9t]

Exactly

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

Skimming through the comments here makes it look like some people on carnivore have an weird side effect. They've forgotten how to make paragraphs; opting instead for walls of text.

[@meatheadforlife]

I try to remove stupidity, mundane reiterated thoughts from my diet but it seems people like this guy clouded my brain with utter nonsense. Keep it simple, eat meat,drink electrolytes (Redmond real salt with water daily) add good sleep

[@loriwilson-n9t]

Let’s not be too harsh. At least he’s not vegan🙃

[@irishslave51]

If you have low stomach acid, you can't do carnivore.. Anyway, it's the (elimination) part that makes people feel better, more than the meat... We can only process so much protein at a time...

[@loriwilson-n9t]

Low stomach acid is usually caused by Antacids and drinking too much fluid combined or separate. Years of it. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time it takes to get out of it.

However I am now 176 to 182 pounds at 6'2". Off all my cardiac meds, No issues with atrial fib have had no episodes. Depression not totally gone, but I am getting almost to say yes I am not depressed. Of course I like most everybody else will have my down days. My blood pressure is fantastic my energy is crazy.

[@dianehazelwood2838]

Almost everything that you name I have tried. I'll take taurine for my tinnitus. My main question is which is better betaine or ox bile. I do not have a gallbladder.

[@dorisvoo9743]

Me too and low stomach acid. So i need to take both but they tend to neutralise each other so I take BHCL. Split my meals into 2/3 smaller meals so my liver can handle the fat. I tried taking bile an hour after and before my meals but that just gave me diarrhoea plus you hv to get bile in acid resistant capsules so they don't disperse in your stomach.

[@TA-uw5bo]

@@dorisvoo9743 Betaine at the beginning to increase acid then when you're towards the end of your moderate tohigh fat meal (2-3 bites left) take your ox bile salts and see how it goes. The acid is the most important part for most people because lots of folks who get their gallbladder removed (me included) over time develop a psuedo gallbladder that serves as a gallbladder. I no longer use either supplements and again I am without a gallbladder and am full carnivore with zero problems (absorpotion or otherwise).

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

HCl betaine is for protein at start of meal Ox bile for fat - at end of meal as commenter as above said Lipase after meal, for fat

[@DennisBolanos]

Dr. Pierce-my chiropractor told me that organ meats are even more nutritious than vegetables. Is that true? 🥩🥬

[@janedough6575]

100% more, probably the most nutrient dense of all foods. Vegetable nutrients are bound up with fiber and you actually absorb very little.

[@SigrunHT]

That's true but they advise to only eat it once or twice a week because it's super rich and can end up being dangerous. Do some research on it before you start.

[@m33265]

You must turn everything from plant world to animal. This transformation have often very low efficiency, you can have problems digest plant foods if you have some missing enzymes etc. Here is no reason to turn something by your body, this animal made this transformation for you especially if this animal was ruminant animal. Cow, sheep, bison, elephant... These animals are very well equiped to "fight with plant world".

[@laurengianna9944]

@@SigrunHTnot dangerous at all. There are many that have been carnivore over 20 + years and they are perfectly healthy. Veggies and fruits cause me so much pain in my stomach and my joints. Went carnivore last year and won’t look back. I feel like I’m a teen and I’m 57 years young.

How does someone increase vit C to a therapeutic level. Ascorbic acid is really vit C

[@stanleymcintyre8100]

@@matthewchild7927 if you do carnivore not to worry you will have enough. If you eat a lot of sugar, I have to say carbs but in reality sugar it is you need more vitamin C because the transport and receptor sites how metabolism works they use the same pathways sugar competes with vitamin C too much sugar and your need for my vitamin C is increased As carnivore no need of concern.

[@EricAnimeFreak]

I've heard there is also pathology to suggest that vitamins like c are depleted when the body's cells oxidize, depleting vit c among other nutrients in the body, such as when the body suffers lots of inflammation. Can't remember what video or paper I read this in though, so correct me if I'm wrong. It's just one more reason why carnivores would have lower nutrient requirements.
