My dad ate bacon and eggs, especially eggs, every single day, sometimes he'd eat a half dozen eggs in a morning, he'd eat one, then say "Just one more" and eat another. He was one of the strongest men I've ever known. When he was 85 he was having anxiety because my mother had died and they were together for nearly 70 years. I took him to the doctor and the doctor checked him out then stepped back and looked at him and said, move over and give me the bed, you're healthier than I am. He had the blood pressure and heart rate of my 18 year old grandson who was an elite athlete. My father rarely ate vegetables, I don't recall ever seeing him eat fruit. He loved meat and that's mostly what he ate and it was always cooked always with bacon fat or butter. Slathered butter on everything, sometimes just eating a knifeful of butter because he loved the taste. He lived to 89 years old and there was nothing wrong with him, his health was great, but he missed my mother so much that he just stopped wanting to live.

Nah, I quit trying to convince people. All I get is ridicule when I try to explain that meat and fats are good for you. The stuff that most people believe just makes me angry. I was at the farmers market the other day and some dude asked me why I was buying so much veal pate. I said because it was made of 90% veal liver and that liver is possibly the most nutrient dense food out there. He laughed and said when you heat up liver you lose all possible nutrients and that chikpeas was the real superfood. I got so mad I almost asked him to lift his shirt up to show us the flat stomach he got from eating chickpeas. Oh wait, he couldn't because he had a belly so big that his shirt buttons were screaming from pain.

[@lonnisplace1459]

Lmao yeah I have the same problem. My mom is convinced that animal fat is bad for you and she eats turkey bacon and whatnot. Like, she literally got mad at me for feeding my brothers the fat from a steak that I made (they wanted to try it and they liked it) and said that if I don't listen to her, I'll get heart disease or something. One of my friends thinks that veggies are essential. I am still fat from diet ngl but only because I had to eat out so much bc I kept running out of carnivore foods. I just need to get the inexpensive ones and keep it going. I'll lose weight then and eat more steaks when I can afford it, not when I think I can lol. Anyways, ya'lls stories are inspiring. Most of my other friends are supportive so that's nice. I have a lot of ground ruminant animal meats in my fridge. Unfortunately I don't have enough to last me until next time I shop so I'll have to eat out for a minute. It'll be worth it once I get my carnivore foods: eggs, bacon, sausage, maybe salami and pepperoni, cheese, yogurt, beef, chicken thighs (bone in and w/ skin ofc) and maybe some berries. Thing is both of those people speaking bad on my beliefs lost weight eating what they eat. I haven't lost any yet, once again bc I kept running out of food before I could lose anything. The longest I lasted was 2 two weeks. I eat a lot more than I think I do. I forget that when I shop. It's a struggle but hopefully they'll see my progress and will get off my case and maybe even believe me and try it themselves. Doubtful, but worth hoping. Good day

The problem with bacon, which wasn't discussed in this post, is that modern pig feed is full of corn and soy. If it was from wild pigs, that would be a different matter. Corn and Soy are high in linoleic Acid. So the linoleic acid from these sources is stored and trapped within the fat on the pig. This excess linoleic acid is then passed on to humans through the consumption of this fat. I love bacon, but have cut down on the amount I eat.

The danger with bacon is that it's so DELICIOUS that you will go through terrible withdrawals when you can't get it. My dad lived to almost 90 and I don't remember a day that he didn't have bacon, and eggs fried in butter.

[@davidpayne4143]

Great advice and video! My Grandmother ate bacon and eggs every morning and cooked with lard. She was physically strong and had a sharp mind all the way up to her passing at age 93. Looking back I realized that she ate a mostly carnivore diet with some non-starchy veges and no sugar. I'm glad to follow in her footsteps! Thanks Dr. Ken!!!

[@RONBN56A]

The lard sold in supermarkets is full of trans fats and has been adulterated and destroyed, as has much of our food supply. Seems they do not want us to collect social security.

[@mekajones7273]

Lard yes you ol school love it! My grandma did to

[@rosela41]

yup. The USDA/WHO "nutritional" guidelines are making people sick and are anti meat. I am doing a ketogenic low carb carnivore diet. A few leafy greens as garnishments.

[@alexg.9279]

Sorry bacon took her away at 93 rip 🙏

[@cincin4515]

My Nana would keep lamb & hogget drippings in a tin canister on the window sill. Everything was cooked in it. My great grandfather's would spread it on bread instead of butter. We'd collect it from out of the griller (broiler) after grilling fatty lamb chops and strain it back into the can. Our ancestors ate so well.

[@andreal840]

I eat bacon almost everyday... the only reason I dont eat it everyday is when I need to go to the store. 🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓

[@root1657]

Oh, never! One in the fridge, one in the freezer. On the last day of the one in the fridge, move the one from the freezer and it will be ready tomorrow...

[@897aa33]

You eat bacon every day because it's cheap white meat and same as chicken grows very fast in confined space.

[@root1657]

@@897aa33 for keto, bacon is in a class far apart from chicken.

[@andreal840]

@@897aa33 I am well aware of how poorly the animals are treated on the mass production feed lot farms. I do not agree with this treatment and buy as much as I can grass fed or pasture raised. Pork is one animal that is hard to find pasture raised, but I do purchase pasture raised pork products whenever it is available.

[@897aa33]

@@andreal840 in comparison lamb or beef have even more oleic acid and other nutrients. Why bacon. I eat bacon but I am so pissed off every place I go only bacon or chicken like there is nothing else in the world exists.

[@BennysGamingAttic]

My great-grandmother lived until she was 90. She had bacon and eggs practically daily. Then steak and potatoes for supper.

[@truthoverlies6434]

She lived to 90 because of genetics. No one cares how long she lived. We don't have her genetics.

[@williamwilliams7706]

From 30 years of eating cornflakes and wheaties with milk, to 32 years of Steel cut oats, yogurt and granola bars to eating bacon and eggs w greens whenever I want. Yay!

[@critter4004]

Now cut out the greens

[@stanlysteemer4872]

This doctor with his advice turned my health around. I was on the way out with diabetes took his advice went carnivore. My a1c is in the normal range now. He’s a truly knowledgeable physician thank you.

[@lindahandley5267]

With all of the disruption in our lives in the last 2 years, I got off track, but my goal is to return to keto. It's just the best...physically and mentally.

[@theophilusmann7869]

"It's an echo of the lie" That's spot on doc.

[@NancyBeegle]

Yummy! Thank you so much for this, Dr. Berry! Was wondering, does the same nutritional panel apply to beef bacon? No pork here.

[@lindamurphy6239]

Thank you, Dr. Berry for being honest with us. You make it interesting to learn.

[@edivanedevlin508]

I used to skip the bacon and eat the honey nut o’s for my health. Now I’m fighting metabolic syndrome. Thanks a lot experts.

Well this blows my mind. I also had believed the establishment cancer bacon nitrates story. This is eye opening. Unfortunately just yesterday I ordered 3 kg or 7 Ib of nitrates free bacon. I hope they haven’t substituted sugar in the process.

[@hilarywallace3007]

I am in Australia and our bacon doesn’t have much fat on it. I see how the people in the US are able to pour off bacon fat when they cook bacon, also it is cut too thick here so it doesn’t become crispy. The narrative of low fat is still strong here in Australia.

[@rogerphelps9939]

People in the US are mostly obese. A good proportion are morbidly obese. High fat processed foods including bacon areto blame.

Maybe go to a small local butcher - they should be able to find or make a nice fatty cut and slice it to order. All the best 😊

[@mdw000]

My grandparents on both sides lived until there mid 90s and ate bacon daily along with cooking with lard

[@velo_GG]

thanks for breaking it down and keepin it real!

[@lindahandley5267]

I'm Still mad over the diets that were pushed on us in the late 70's and especially the 80's with low-fat and higher carbs. Low-fat anything tasted awful. On higher carbs, you diet your brains out and go to the gym until your tongue was hanging out and you never could keep any weight off, IF you lost any. Plus, you'd be hungry in 4 hours! Keto is a wonderful, healthy diet that I love!

[@RONBN56A]

All planned by the medical mafia to sell more drugs.

[@lindahandley5267]

@@RONBN56A Absolutely. It's hard to imagine your own government doing something so cunning and evil, to make their own countrymen sick so they could push their damn pills on you and rob you along with it. It's all crystal-clear now that greed, power and money is all that matters to them. I don't trust ANY one anymore except my closest family members. We have to look out for our OWN selves!

[@1982MCI]

But why be mad? I remember all of that well myself but I also remember that nobody put a gun to my head and said I had to go low fat and hi carbs but then I was the one that wasn’t ever fat , ate red meat twice a day, 7 days a week, salted as much as I wanted, plenty of taters with a full stick of homemade butter, and pie and ice cream for deserts and later for a snack! It’s no wonder I couldn’t ever get above 135 pounds!!

[@lindahandley5267]

@@1982MCI Nobody put a gun to my head and I wasn't fat either. It's just very discouraging that the government has never had the American people's best interest at heart. I was pretty naive back then.

[@grndzro777]

That's because your cells cannot burn fat while they are burning carbs. Workout till no energy and then when your body is ready to switch to fats you leave the gym and have your post workout meal....full of carbs.
