I started on 100% carnivore only lifestyle about 70 days ago. I’ve lost over 30 lbs even though that wasn’t my goal. My mind is clearer, even though that wasn’t my goal, I have more energy… even though that wasn’t my goal. My digestive system which has ruined my life is giving me no more constipation, gas, or flu-like symptoms… sorry, even though, that wasn’t my goal. All of my food allergies have stopped, my skin has become clear and healthy… (that’s right, not my goal). I have aggressive prostate cancer that has been resistant to multiple surgeries, Chemo, and radiation treatments. It has been a mass with relentless growth in my spine. I told myself I would try carnivore because I heard sugar may be the reason the cancer is so aggressive. (I’ve always been a sugar addict). My oncologist has stopped all treatments because there is nothing there to treat anymore. (In 60 days) all my lab is flawless with the exception of my PSA still being elevated slightly. (So the cancer isn’t completely gone as of yet). THAT was why I tried carnivore. To be proactive and do "Something!” And it seems to be working. I’m not gonna quit anytime soon now. That’s for sure.

I also improved my low functioning thyroid. I don't take any medication anymore. I used to get colds, the flu twice a year and I haven't gotten sick since changing my diet to eating any kind of meat. I eat what I can afford, eggs, and rarely cheese. Drink only water, although I tried drinking tea a few times but reacted badly to it. Before I changed to carnivore eating, I was keto for 1.5 years, Paleo for 2 years before that and before that I ate a Mediterranean diet. Besides weight loss the biggest thing about eating carnivore for me was the massive improvement of my mental health. That's very pressious to not feel depressed all the time and being crazy moody. That's all gone. Oh and IF comes naturally with eating this way. Changing between 2MAD and OMAD - no problem.

That is a fair comment. Most people eating a modern western or even a vegetarian diet would see results from going paleo, low carb or keto ie cutting out processed foods, most carbs and upping their protein intake a bit. Carnivore is just another step on that progression, and may only be required for people with particularly complicated or chronic health issues. Having said that, I am trying it (3 days so far lol) because after 15 years, low carb paleo is no longer working following menopause and I have seen a steady weight creep, plus skin issues as I age. I think its worth a try as a reset, and how far I take it will depend on the results.

Lots of gratitude from the Netherlands.

Funny you mention this because I recently started having tachycardia episodes out of nowhere. I couldn't figure out what the issue was so I figured I would try cutting things out of my diet. I'm not in carnivore, but very low carb. It seems to have cleared the tachycardia and most irregular beats. Food is literally killing us.

Another amazing video. And yes..people who go for carnivore are not regular people, there are people with a lot of experiences in dieting. I, for example, was a vegetarian/vegan for 25 years. I have tried a lot in my life, trust me. From cleansing juices, to all the herbs and powders and enemas. I even had grass salad from my own garden. Yes, grass (there's a sort of grass that "they said it can be eaten"). But, oh boy, my body had suffered a lot. And now nobody can convince me of anything else. When I hear young vegans saying after 2 or 3 years into this crap that you "didn't do it right" it just makes me wanna laugh. Boy oh boy! I didnt do it right? If I didnt do it right after 25 years of searching and researching, what about the rest? Who can do it right? I am into keto+carnivore nowadays. And the more I experience with my new diet, the more I am convinced that meat is the only way.

[@jenniraisovna5698]

You know I was trying to become vegetarian but more than a month I couldn't do it. Coming from an Islamic background being a semi vegetarian is encouraged not to waste meat or overeat it, but also fasting is a huge part of this culture (the upcoming Ramadan as an example). I realize that I can't be vegetarian but slowly improved my intake of produce by avoiding unhealthy stuff and trying to eat organic only. After watching people go carnivore diet now I am tempted to try it, but I am still experimenting with fasting so carnivore is certainly something I would like to try. So happy to see that people with your background share these stories which makes me satisfied that I didn't go vegetarian. Thanks for sharing 🤗

Liver is fried in good olive oil, seasoned with salt and oregano, while cooking, and fresh lemon juice squeezed over it on the plate!!! Delicious!!! I just did the same with chopped beef liver, and it is also delicious! With my Greek yogurt, I plan to make. tzatziki to spread over liver, hamburgers , etc. It's what you get with gyro or souvlaki at a Greek food festival!!! Add to Greek yogurt, a bit of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, a bit of grated cucumber, and some minced fresh dill. Stirr sll together, and it makes a delicious cooling, sauce or spread!!!

I ate a pound of organic grass fed ground beef almost exclusively with some pasture raised eggs. I was under eating based on what I see on carnivore now. But in a few months as well as doing a couple prolonged fasts of 36 hours to 72 hours a week. Went from 235 down to 173lbs. I'm 6'4" so that was for me too slim. Started lifting weights after that and got up to 188lbs and was very lean and muscular. I didn't even realize what I was doing was carnivore because I started off just trying to do keto and ended up finding that I liked the beef and eggs and I would also drop some butter in the beef to get the fat up. My skin was never clearer and it really changed my appearance in a huge manner in just about 4 months. I did up my food intake to eating a couple times a day and eventually I went back to a more varied diet. But I learned that the fasting reset my body's weight. I didn't just gain back the weight quickly when I changed my eating to have more carbs. It also gives a lot of confidence when you learn the benefits of eating an elimination type way of eating. I love meat so it's not hard. But if you have an addiction to sugar you have to break that and eating like this can do the job. You just have to be consistent.

You also don't need fiber to stay regular if you have the right amount of fat on the proper carnivore diet. If you think you love salad try eating it without any dressing. You have to add alot of preparation, spices sauces to make vegetables palatable. Maybe this is telling us something.

People in various regions that are Blue Zones (where people consistently live a long time) eat a variety of food. They are not all the same diet, either, so more factors are at play. In fact, the video "Living to be 100--The Blue Zones" (or some title like that--can't remember the name exactly) is worth a watch. Just my opinion. Since we now have many people going carnivore, we will know more about health benefits eventually.

Thank you for another worthwhile video. Congrats on reaching 2M. I think the main reason your channel has grown so quickly is your level of professionalism. Your viewers know they can trust your information because you are not trying to sell something.

[@meggarstang6761]

I'm sad these days to see that many of the experts i listened to at the beginning of my keto journey back in March 2020 are now selling books and supplements, or promoting courses that make big promises of health and weight loss. I no longer follow their channels. Dr. Ekberg remains one of the few experts i recommend over and over again to friends and family who have witnessed my own weight loss and improved health and want to know more about a keto lifestyle.

Thank you so much for this thorough and educating video. I have been ketocarnivore for three months and feel fantastic. However, it seems the carnivore part, ie meat and the saturated fat subject is all people can talk about when I try to explain its benefits. Well that's it now I will just send them this video and say job done! Perfect!

I’m so glad you’ve finally covered this. I have letterally tried EVERY way of eating. From Atkins to the zone diet. From paleo to whole 30 from calorie counting to the fitness apps from cutting out meat to counting macros from measuring everything to weight watchers absolutely everything! NOTHING and I mean NOTHING has come even close to the profound affect that the carnivore diet has has on me for all my health issues and weight issues. It has been the holy grail for me after years of trying to find the right diet. In fact I do even better on just ruminate meat. It’s incredible and you can feel it after just 3 days. Then everyday after that it gets better and better.

Vary helpful thanks Dr.. I reacted to most vegetables fruits and grains and dairy (I’m autoimmune) and I was on a meat only diet which was boring over time but in time I found I can eat sweet potatoes mushrooms and cauliflower and avocado coconut to not give me any side effects or extremely less side effects, I hope to add more things as time goes on,

I have been listening to you for a month or two and followed your advice. I was 134kg pre diabetic with sleep apnea, inflamed joints and a rampant GERD problem. I started in December 2021 by cutting carbs and then in January I started fasting from 20:00 until 11:00 every day. I did a comprehensive blood test with my GP this week and My blood sugar came down to 5.5, my cholesterol is down to 3.2 my weight is down to 124kg. My inflamed joints is no longer a problem and I am of the GERD treatment. You changed my life sir and you have my thanks.

[@TheLakeShow]

I just got diagnosed with pre-diabetic & have fibromyalgia. I've tried doing whole food plant base & it's decreased symptoms & inflammation but it's stil there. Now I'm gonna try Keto with a little meat & mostly veggies see how that works & eliminating processed foods, sweets. If a combination doesn't work, I'll try carnivore. I'm at a 5.9 for pre-diabetic. Hoping in 3-4 months when I retest I get out of pre-diabetic range. Also gonna include intermittent fasting 16:8 and at times 20:4 or 17-19hrs of fasting & wating two meals a dat..If you don't mind sharing what steps you take and diet you did other than cutting carbs? My body seems to be sensitive to a lot of things even the so called healthy things.

[@trafferz]

​@@TheLakeShow First off, get used to checking for Net Carbs in all your foods. You'll first want to get down to under 50 grams per day, then hopefully under 20. Don't go too fast or you may suffer a bit; keto flu. By all means, increase fat consumption; animal fat, coconut oil, avocados. This is a must and will lower your appetite, a bonus. You'll know you're in keto when fat starts to look appetizing. You'll fail if you don't bring up your fat intake because you'll end up driving down your metabolism defeating the entire process. I found the following channels to be very helpful: Thomas DeLauer, Dr. Berg, Dr. Ekberg, Beat Diabetes (very helpful because they blood test for glucose after consuming various foods, so you can see how it will likely affect you), Low Carb Down Under. Getting off all processed foods will make a huge difference. Other than tons of avocados and some berries in very small quantity, fruits should go off your list of acceptable foods. Just too high in sugar/carbs/fructose. If you're in keto long enough, likely you'll see a rise in LDL cholesterol, which should not be alarming; again see the Low Carb Down Under channel for the science. And if you're on glucose lowering medication or insulin sensitivity increasing meds, like say metformin, work closely with your doctor because not consuming carbs while on these medications can be dangerous. If all of that is going well and you want to explore further, you could learn more about oxalates in foods. But for most people, it seems wheat, soy and sugar (=carbs) whether in organic or processed foods are the biggest issues. For me, it's dairy because I easily overdue my carb allowance which leads to inflammation. Almost forgot, seed oils. These things are dangerous and could take a bit to get your head around. Print out a list of cooking oils which breaks them down by poly, mono and saturated fats. The best are coconut, ghee, butter, palm, lard and tallow; possibly some olive. Costco olive oils for one have been tested and been shown to be real, not so for many in the stores. For sure, get rid of canola. Best of luck!

I wish I had learned this many years ago, I have suffered trying all kinds of diets but as soon I I heard of a carnivore way of eating I knew it was for me. One month in and down 11lbs. They don’t tell women enough that men lose in a downward motion but women are up and down which can be discouraging but our bodies deal with hormones fluctuating, so don’t get discouraged. I’ve always gravitated to meat but was brainwashed into thinking I had to eat all food groups to be healthy…hogwash!

Your videos have really helped me to comprehend what is going on with my body and how it processes and utilizes food. I'm 14 days in on carnivore diet, for autoimmune and sensitivity issues that have plagued me for last 4 years. My progression was exactly like you described. Many diets and doc visits down, finally decided to go carnivore after hearing how it helped Jordan Peterson and daughter. More I read, more I learned of huge community that it has served and helped. Really appreciate you doing a video on it and getting your stamp of approval. You seem to really care to help people with knowledge on the various routes one can take or try. Please keep the videos up, and I hope your business is doing well.

Glad I watched this as it explains things more clearly. I watched something on carnivore diet yesterday & I'm trying to look into it more as I suffer with IBS & joint pain etc. I eat "healthily" with plenty of salad, fruit & vegetables along with fish, chicken & meats & I have wholegrain seeded bread but suffer terribly with my IBS etc. All my doctors do is prescribe more meds. I've done the FODMAP diet for 18 months & it didn't make any difference. I'm at the point where I will try anything, but not sure if I could stick to just eating meat, chicken & fish or whether it is healthy to maintain. I'm glad he explained the vitamins etc & whats also in plants/vegetables & also said at the end maybe try it for a week & then if you're ok try a month & then maybe introduce diferent things in slowly. Really good informative video & I am definitely looking more into it & will try it for a week & see how I go. What have a got to lose🤷🏼‍♀️

[@sn7miller]

Love that this video is NOT an all or nothing. One size does not fit all also applies to diets. One thing i believe in is that "How you feel" especially short term does not tell your health story at all: I have been in great shape, toned, muscular, athletic, low bmi, etc. found that ive been living with a 100% blocked LAD and 90% blocked RCA .... likely for 10 yrs+ per all my Cardioligists/Surgeons. Just had heart surgery to unblock two arteries at Cedar Sinai. I was in gym and felt pretty good prior to surgery. Angina promoted my action. This is why i will not go on an extreme diet, such as Vegan or Carnivore. Im living proof you can look and feel great yet be headed for disaster. Had i gotten the right heart tests (beyond treadmill stress/CAC/blood work, etc), i would have caught my problem earlier. Bottom line; Medical industry is not yet proactive....how you feel now is not an indication of issues building inside you. Be proactive and know what tests can assist you in knowing your true health.

Nothing but a positive experience. I have done this diet a couple times and every time has been a positive experience. This is now my 3rd attempt on carnivore and sticking it through. This time I have limited carbs and lost over ten pounds my first month. I am never hungry and feel amazing.

[@stephentaylor2797]

When I was young. I was a carnivore and didn't know it. I ate all the meat on my plate but wouldn't eat the veggies. I remember sitting at the table crying because my parents wouldn't let me leave until I ate some veggies. I was the healthiest kid around. Never sick and never missed a day of school. It wasn't until I was on my own that I began to eat junk/processed food. That my health turned bad. I lost my thyroid and gallbladder due to this unhealthy diet. I'm now 80% carnivore and 20% keto. I am feeling so much better and a lot of my issues have gone away.

[@skoeyluvsbutters]

long time lurker first time poster. I love your videos as they're very easy to listen to and your explanations are easy to grasp. I've been ketovore (meat-heavy keto) for 1.5 years. I went keto first for a month, then went carnivore for a year, but now I'm back to ketovore for variety. I did it because I had frozen shoulder which resolved itself within a month of carnivore. I also suffered from migraine with aura and I usually have at least 1 every year. Since going ketovore I've only had the auras but no migraines at all. I'd say going meat-based has been the best thing I've ever done to my body as my inflammation has gone way, way down.

[@nc3419]

After C19, I lost 20 lbs. That was 12/21. Since then, about another 20 lbs came off. Gave up essentially all processed food, high carb/sugar sources. Now it's a mix of meat (beef, fish, pork, chicken), eggs, leafy greens (salads), broccolli, califlower, avocado, olives, asparagus. Cutback coffee to about 4 cups a day (1/4 of what it was with a love affair with cookies), have it with some macademia nuts, walnuts and a bit of dark chocolate (if you're going to have a vice) . Eat twice a day, sometimes once. Every other month a planned fast for two days. Just starting an exercise routine by walking, later it will be a bit of running and weight training, nothing hardcare. At 185 lbs. now and looking to stabilize around 170 lbs, give or take. Will trade a bit more muscle for fat (still have enough of that) and target is end of June. So, adding more meat and less carbs has seemingly been beneficial. Also use Coconut oil and Olive oil and stay away from seed oils. Mid Jan exam showed 98 D level and 5.2 for pre diabetes and that was after my December purge. Dr office called me stating I could stop taking Vitamin D supplements (middle of a cold, dark winter mind you) and didn't mention the pre diabetes as a concern. Followup July so I'll see what she says. Father died a diabetic, cancer among other health issues at 72 on a high carb, processed diet (pasta was his love) and morbidly obese for years. I am not following the same path if I can help it. While a tragedy for many, C19 changed my eating pattern. No longer ate a dinner with beer at 10pm at night, after work. Cut out alcohol too, perhaps a glass of wine on occasion/holiday. Non caffeinated tea at night, a bit of water throughout the day, seems to be working. Sleep has become better. Now need to introduce an exercise regimen. Nearing 60, it was about time. I would encourage everyone start at a much earlier age but it works wonders for anyone willing to change sans some health issue out of the ordinary. During C19, watched almost nothing but health vids so a shout out to the following among others: Dr. Sten Ekberg Shawn Baker MD Dr Eric Berg High Intensity Health Gundry Thomas DeLauer KenDBerryMD ...there are others, keep up the good work and thank you for your efforts. They haven't gone unnoticed.

I too had covid in December and ended up in hospital for a couple days with pneumonia. Though 60+, I thought I was in good shape to take it. I wasn't over weight, ate healthy, walked and took vitamins. After coming out of hospital, I was 10 lbs. down and craving steak when my taste and smell finally returned a few days later. I didn't like steak before. I also drank too much coffee one day after it tasted good again and my heart went crazy. No caffeine since. Been taking a pile of vitamins also. I feel fully healed at this point. My conclusions are I got a high dose of virus from kids showing no symptoms while playing a game in their bedroom. Though taking vitamins, they weren't enough for the deficiencies I likely had ( D, Iron & ?). I'm likely insulin resistant and have been all along. I'm doing keto now, have kept the 10 lbs. off and feel great.

I also FAST 18 hrs. ever few days (not daily.) This begins a needed cleansing process in the brain called AUTOPHAGY. It's the body's way to clean out damaged cells in order to regenerate newer ones. With all of that, I was patient- gave it time. I continued to work out as best I could and rested when I needed to. It is a process. I am still not 100%, years later but I am much, much better than I was. Some of my initial symptoms were quite debilitating. Today I can function pretty well and work out with almost no restrictions.
