Why Paul Saladino is Wrong about the Carnivore Diet (Hormones, Insulin and Electrolyte Issues)

Judy, thank you for taking the time to do this in detail and respectfully. It's always refreshing to have my views challenged - I believe it's healthy for the space and both of our communities. The carnivore diet has brought healing to many with autoimmune issues, and the community's commitment is truly remarkable. I'm grateful to have been part of it and still resonate with many of our shared values. I've said for a long time that if something works for you, keep doing it. An animal-based diet with fruits and honey works for many, myself included. I'd love to record a podcast with you or any other carnivore physician, who also would be willing to share their blood work at this level of detail. Best, Paul

[@EsseQuamVideriSe7en]

Hey Judy, appreciate the video. I'm 56 and have weight trained 39 years. I'm very active (train 4-5 days a week and play pickleball 4-5 days a week). I went on the Carnivore diet almost 3 years ago. I was very strict, ate high fat, and bought local cows, fluctuating between grass fed/finished and grass fed, grain finished. I live in Alberta, Canada and we are well known for the quality of our beef. I'm also not a foodie so eating Carnivore is easy. I can eat the same thing all the time no problem. Anyways, I had the same issues with cramping and palpitations that Dr. Saladino had. I added electrolytes at the 1 year mark and things still did not resolve themselves. In those 18 months I didn't cheat. It was fatty meat, eggs, and some dairy (hard cheese and butter mostly). I love eating Carnivore, and I really wanted it to work. I tried to allow my body to balance, but it never did. Having weight trained as long as I have I've had cramping issues, but nothing like what I experienced in those 18 months. I had them in muscles that had NEVER had cramps before, like lats, shoulders and lower abs (which were the worst). I was actually really disappointed with Paul when he went to fruit and honey but after 18 months I decided I needed to try something different. I added in fruit. Berries, kiwi and watermelon. All my issues cleared up in the first week. I also seemed to keep all the benefits of Carnivore. It's now been a year of being meat based and still no issues. I think I've had one cramp in the last year in a calf muscle. I have my own theory as to why I need some carbohydrates and it has to do with muscle glycogen. I believe that because I'm so active that I use up all my muscle glycogen a dozen times a week. If there are no carbs to reload the muscle with afterwards then the muscles become electrolyte deficient because electrolytes use the carbs as a carrier to insert themselves in the muscle. I agree that Paul went overboard on carbs but I also think highly active people do need some carbs in their diet.

Throughout my long low carb journey I’ve noticed that highly active people tend to side with Paul, while people who don’t exercise often or at all benefit from zero carb. Physiologically we can be extreme athletes without carbohydrates but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ideal. I spent 4 years keto and 6 years carnivore and then decided to experiment a bit, and as an extremely active person I’ve found that some carb consumption in the form of fruit & honey targeted around hard workout is incredibly beneficial for recovery, sleep, and hypertrophy. This is what Paul is talking about. These are facts. But ultimately I think self experimentation is best. Take the time to see what works for you and always keep your mind open.

Those long term carnivores explored every way of doing carnivore and found that fatty red meat made them feel their best.

This was long after reading the REAL carnivore book by Shawn Baker who knows how to create a construct and live it. Paul has never stuck to a single construct in his existence in this space. Every time you turn around, he re-invents himself. He also cherry picks studies to agree with his diet in the moment. I unfollowed him a few years ago when he went looney tunes.

Paul is not an outlier. Everyone consumed carbs. What were obesity rates before 1960? The answer is effectively zero. No clinical trial needed to point out this basic fact that people ate carbs and were fine before 1960. This is a simple truth that for some reason everyone in keto space wants to ignore.

The Strong Sisters are pushing carbs for people with illness now too, which makes me sad because so many of these families are really trying to heal and with better information they could really use strict carnivore for a few months to improve their symptoms & reduce their sugar addiction that is sadly such a big part of those order ‘healthy diets.’ Dr Eric Westman has the basics on why he uses Keto at a Keto Clinic to heal his patients over the last 25 years.

Always been a Judy cho fan!! Fantastic job using facts . Paul needed to be debunked .

[@disinformationworld9378]

Why does he need to be debunked if he is correct? Go look at a chart of obesity rates before 1960. Look at carb consumption rates. Go on, what does it show? People ate plenty of carbs and obesity rates were effectively zero. Even in the 1970’s obesity was extremely low. The diet intervention was not carbs it was ultra-processed oils. Look at oil consumption rates and then revisit obesity rates. What does it show? An actual correlation between obesity and seed oils-NOT carbs. Carb consumption dropped by 2% from 2000-2020 and obesity rates doubled. That’s called negative correlation. No one in keto space is explaining what happened pre-1960 or explaining this at all. They are completely oblivious to this obvious data. Good luck “debunking” it. I learned this from Dr Cate Shanahan not from Paul.

[@disinformationworld9378]

Paul cannot be debunked because he’s correct. It took me probably dozens of hours of research to figure this stuff out. The final nail-*slamdunk* proof is pre-1960’s obesity rates and carb consumption levels. And if you think it’s processed sugars well it’s not that either which is measurable and is part of the “carb” consumption levels. In fact processed sugars have dropped the last two decades (see “sugar free” soft drinks for example).

[@disinformationworld9378]

Keto space gets most of it right but they completely miss essential information. And that is historical obesity rates and carb consumption rates which have mostly remained fairly flat since 1900-2020. Look at 1900 levels and compare to 2020 for example. Objective information.

Some people need to go lion diet and cant have any dairy or eggs at all because they have autoimmune issues.

Thank you very much for this video, Judy. I have only recently found your channel, and have followed Paul's podcast for several years. I am curious what your analysis would be of the "Mastering Diabetes" people's recommendations, as they are type 1 diabetics saying that you should eat carbs to cure diabetes. Which certainly sounds backwards, but it must somehow be working for them, because they are Type 1's. Also curious about your take on Dr. Cate Shanahan's info. Is Hesperidin a direct anti-oxidant, or is it the kind that triggers anti-oxidants in the body (meaning that at too high of dosage it becomes a poison rather than having a hormetic effect)?

[@Karen-ff4os]

Well thought out and well argued. Always appreciate your educated clinical perspective! 😊

[@chikeogbonna4197]

My Dear Judy, this was wonderfully done! With time, this video will become cherished and more understood and appreciated by everyone in this low carb community! In health, Chike

[@jeCktHeReal]

he uploaded a video just the other day that I've checked out. I was (not, but almost) shocked at how much he aged in just a few years. Glycating the hell out of his cells and tissues with contraindicated fructose and carbohydrates.

[@sandrabentley8111]

He's a big time surfer. All that sun and salt water will age anyone very fast. He doesn't wear sunscreen because he wants the vitamin D3.

[@bastianfuentes8335]

Nah, I know a lot of people who take a lot of sun and do not look as aged as saladino, they do keto diets

[@kronos77]

I have seen more than my share of this living in tropical climates. The sun will age you and fast. I dont agree with Saladino and dont even like him, but this isnt diet, it is sun exposure and age. Look at picturs of theee carnivore influencers from years ago and look at them now. They changed.

[@rosethorn0232]

The way he looks now reminds me of many vegans, just with more muscle mass. Aged too fast. He eats more carbs than people I know who aren't even on a low carb diet.

[@DramaHeart]

⁠@@sandrabentley8111mds have frequently told me to slap on sun screen, and go outside. It takes 10/15 minutes for the sunscreen to “activate”. Thats all the vit d we need. Then theres the fact that we can get it from food, which the guy eats.

[@tubeheaddude]

I think this was your best video so far, and I really hope Paul follows up on your suggestions. Most of us trying the carnivore diet are trying to heal a chronic problem and western medicine is not interested in finding the root cause. This is because there is no financial incentive in a capitalistic health system to have a healthy population. Until this is changed, the US population will needlessly suffer.

[@mb8219]

Not only USA. UK, Europe, South Africa and India to name a few places

[@-KarnivoreKhaleesi-]

I stopped following Paul because he begun sounding like a Wack job!! He is all over the board lately all while trying to shove his nonsense on others

[@desmomotodesmomoto2033]

Soon he is gona mix honey with fruit juice and chuck it down....hahah He is addicted to overtraining and adrenaline. I see am addict, the way he talks, the way he moves, his eyes, his lean body mass....etc He is full of cortisol and stress.

[@saber2988]

Would not be surprised if Saladino is eating breads, pasta and pizza next year and saying is the best thing you can do. I call him the Random fake MD.

[@desmomotodesmomoto2033]

Yeah and he will show studies to prove it hahaha. Dude is stressed out of his mind working out like a maniac.

[@CatherineB-r2b]

If Paul was right, wouldn't we see people like Kelly Hogan and Maggie White having really bad electrolyte issues too?? So far, I have not heard them talk about any. Judy, your video makes more sense to me. Thank you. Carnivore is not a magic wand but it sure helps reduce health issues for me. There is still a lot to learn about healing even after carnivore is helping. Paul is throwing the baby out with the dirty bathwater.

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

He’s throwing the baby out with the bath water? I think that’s what carnivores do. :) Y’all throw out more God given foods than any other diet out there-except for fruitarians I guess. I used to be carnivore (thankfully only for 7 months), and I can’t believe I was willing to throw out so many delicious real foods, and I feel better with them included too.

[@Namava-o7k]

@@PeaceIsYeshuawhich foods did you reintroduce? And in which way do you feel better with them? Did you have any serious health issues before you went carnivore? Just curious :-)

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

@@Namava-o7k Hi there, I reintroduced carbohydrates in the form of fruit and potatoes, and it took about three months for my energy to return (it tanked on carnivore).

[@Namava-o7k]

@@PeaceIsYeshua hi! Thanks for sharing. I feel for me and some other carnivores, male and female, need some carbs in some form to balance our hormones. Even eating only 5-10 grams of apple made a huge difference for me, without it I felt drained, libido was gone, didn’t feel my happy self… last year I included raw dairy, and I don’t eat any apple anymore , and I finally could gain weight and build some muscle. (I am a perimenopausal woman btw.)

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

@@Namava-o7k Hi! You’re so welcome!! 😊 I’m mid 40s and probably perimenopausal too! I have heard Lillie Cane say her husband had to have carbs in order to gain muscle! From listening to bioenergetics, I really do thinks having adequate carbs is the healthiest way to go. By the way, I told my chiropractor I was considering hormone replacement in the future, and he told me to do female bovine glandulars instead! From my research, I learned that men can grow normal sized breasts by using bovine ovary, so there must be something to it! 😆 Also, I’m sure you’ve heard of the experts all telling women our age that we need to do heavy lifting in order to stimulate the central nervous system to grow muscle, but I have learned that overcoming isometrics will also stimulate the central nervous system, and it is a much, much safer way to build muscle! Best wishes to you!! 😊

[@energeticsoulhealer888]

I've been waiting for years for this. Paul is a carb addict, which is fine, BUT he's influencing others to follow his unhealthy lunacy, and that's what I have a problem with. Bless you, Judy❤

[@Mauitaoist]

Thanks Judy I enjoyed Paul's book initially but when I found out that he was giving up on Carnivore I was a little well disgusted frankly the lion diet works perfectly for me maybe I'm just a little more serious about my carnivore than Paul saladino ever thought to be

[@jdfreedomlover]

He probably "learned" that telling people they can eat lots of glucose and fructose with your steak makes for a much larger following.

[@emosag]

Going by the amount of people who defend him I’d agree with you. The glucose addiction/justification is strong in these people!

[@Nigeltheman134]

[@tapiolehto5312]

62 years old Finnish male, went to ketodiet, saving my health when I was 54. I've always been quite skinny, trying to get reasonable muscles, carnivore diet helped me with that. I got same symptoms as Paul after 1 1/2 years pure carnivore. I Started to use about 50-70 g Finnish honey and forest blueberries, per day. I have to say it gave me energy, and testosterone level got right. I tried to ate 200 g butter per day. I have fear of carbs, I was totally sick with our domestic grain, they are full of mould toxics, food additives. People tell that in going south, France, German, grains are better there.

[@Ty_Quattro]

It is amazing how much younger he looks in these videos from just 2022 you shared in this video...I watch his videos also and it is amazing how much older he looks now...plus his frame even looks different now... He keeps talking about keto stress markers on the body though...

Paul is a carb addict. He tries really hard to justify his sugar and carb cravings, but that's not working out too well for him or his followers.

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

I agree.

[@cindyr4459]

THANK YOU for making this video! I used to agree with Paul because I experienced problems after being carnivore for about 5 months. Long story short, I didn't feel as good after almost a year of adding 100 g of fruit/honey. Then I heard you mention, "Carbs are not the answer." I'm back to carnivore except I'm now consuming a lot more fat and a little less protein.
