🔴 Why The Carnivore Diet Actually Works

[@krisisom849]

I’m 63 years old one month on a strict carnivore diet. I started running again absolutely changed my life.

[@daveben3573]

Good to know and well done :) l am also aiming to resume running and am about the same age!

[@weav8060]

Exercise really must be a companion to being carnivore; it is almost a celebration of your state and proves and further motivates

[@trixieknits]

I’m 60 and been keto for six years. Started wearing a CGM as an experiment with the my keto group (2 physicians, I’m a nurse, and some science geeks) and I realized that I still have some solid work to do to make my metabolism healthier. Carnivore-ish for two weeks. Really to go full on carne.

Eating the carnivore lifestyle for over a year. I've reversed fatty liver, diabetes, diverticulitis, arthritis, bursitis, lost over 55 pounds. I can exercise, walk up and down stairs, breathe through my nose and I'm not winded, like I was and it was terrible. I'm sixty and feel better than I have since my forties. 💪🥩

I'm a Master's Athlete and have been for about 20 years, and in many sports. I had not been swimming in ten years, and this past summer I decided to begin swimming in Open Water, on the St. Lawrence River in Canada. I am 60 yrs old, and have been carnivore for approximately 10 months. Within 9 weeks, swimming three days per week, I swam a 6km, open water event. My goal time to complete the swim was 3-3:15 minutes. I completed the swim in 2h, 22minutes. I have never felt better in my life. I am now swimming indoors and preparing for Master's Provincial and possibly Nationals, scheduled in the spring of 2025. I have never felt better in my life. I only eat beef, butter, eggs and occasionally fish. No alcohol, no caffeine. I believe the clock has been turned back 20 yrs. Oh, and I'm down 63#. Thank you, Dr. Chaffee for sharing this information with us. I now have friends who are also turning to the Carnivore diet --- after years of unhealthy processed foods. Thank you.

My dad has all 3, and i have none, the type of food I eat is much different than his.

[@graememudie]

3:11 I had exactly the same situation. About 3 years ago I tried to convince a friend to go carnivore to treat his Parkinson’s. Been 18 months in a home and passed away 3 days ago. Just couldn’t give up on the carbs. But I’m convinced the reason they don’t even give it a try is because the doctors tell them there is no cure so what’s the point in giving up the food I like.

[@creinicke1000]

I believe many conditions and illnesses can be helped by carnivor. For me, I use it as a tool to lose weight. I do intend to eat carbs after I lose the weight, but when I eat carbs, I'll be aware of what I'm eating...I'll pick carefully. If I was never going to die, I guess I'd be totally carnivor... But since I do not have any real medical problems, I feel I have the options. BUT, if I ever get a diagnosis for anything, it's carnivore and fasting.

[@kellyt5341]

The sugar addiction (including carbs) is like a heroin addiction.

[@nancyayers8322]

​@creinicke1000 The way I feel is this, why eat carbs again after healing my body and losing the weight only to harm it again? For myself, if I eat a carb or any vegetable really I actually feel awful. Physically I mean. I bloat and have headaches etc. I have liver disease that is progressively healing now. I am carnivore for life. I don't see it as a temporary means to an end.

Why can you go there and eat the local cuisine in excess and lose weight? 1 - when vacationing/traveling you are outside more getting the full spectrum of light that triggers specific mechanisms within the body as the light cycles goes throughout the day. 2 you are eating food that has been grown in that specific area.

I have been on Carnivore for a year and just went thru a major gall bladder attack. Any suggestions ???

[@vigilantwatcher2408]

I tried to share this information with someone whose husband has Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, at the same time, and the old fear that he can't have protein because he has kidney problems, keeps her from trying to change his diet and it's really sad that he continues to digress and she feels like she doesn't have answers. She's just not open to hearing any answers from me, unfortunately. I'm sure different KZbin videos with her and I know she hasn't seen them. Otherwise she'd probably change her mind by now. What's worse is that it's their own doctors that are holding him back from receiving the truth!

When one thinks about the fact that the moment we consume sugars in any form, your body want to get rid of it pronto, then why would one's body need it? Carnivore 9 months going strong. 🎉

64 years old - 4 months carnivore (approx).. I'm at the point in this diet where I need to stop losing weight. I was 103 Kg and am now in the high 70's. I have loose skin as I have Zero fat between my muscles and my skin anymore. I am literally 'cut'.. It's great to see my six pack back, but my skin looks 'gathered' all of a sudden. I've started weight training again in the vain hope of bulking and 'filling my skin' to smooth it out like it was when I was carrying a few kilos more.. Is there a chance that my skin will become more elastic if I keep on with the carnivore diet, or has my past left a 'scar' in the form of 'old man skin syndrome'?

[@sugahoney89]

Yes, drink more water, have bone broth or take collagen.

Don't give up. Autophagy should kick in soon. The doc has done a video on it. Worth researching.👍

You do realize that you've reached your normal weight. You're just not used to it. It happened to me too, after twenty years. I couldn't stand the sight of myself in the mirror.

[@notgunnadoit7461]

I buy 2 full, bone in, full fat cap no trim, prime ribs sliced at 1"1/2, individually freezer wrapped from my personal local butcher. I know who raises the cattle, I know who slaughters it and I know who butchers it and this is in the metro Detroit suburbs. I am charged a discount due to the amount I purchase and the fact I go there every 2 months. I end up paying between $12 and $16 a pound depending on beef prices. I SAVE so much money eating Ribeye without buying all the other bullshit it's cut my yearly food costs by over $10k.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get ripped? I am 5’6” and 172 lbs. I lift four days a week double split with good amount of volume. I have been doing treadmill for 35 minutes 7 days a week with an incline of 4.5 15 minutes 5.5 10 minutes and 6.0 for the next 10 minutes. I actually don’t feel like the treadmill is doing a thing. I eat about 22-2400 calories with about 50/50 protein to fat. I am trying to get 200 grams of protein to build size. I have been carnivore for 1.6 years and went from 210 to 158 then started lifting and back up to 172. I am not getting ripped like I want to. I see lots of guys including Dr. C in photos and they look great with six packs. What am I doing wrong??

[@zxyatiywariii8]

My BF got ripped by doing lifting/weight training. Treadmill is fine for losing weight, but it doesn't build much muscle. There are lots of weight training videos online, try spending that treadmill time on weight lifting instead, that usually helps a lot. People can even make their own weights by using gallon water bottles, canned food, sand bags, etc. (I know, I'm skinny, but I'm a girl and I don't want to be muscular looking) Edit: I know, you're doing lifting already, but swap the treadmill and see?

[@Geetarhed]

Also solves issues with gout

[@toni4729]

I think that's because it's mostly down to sugar.

[@Geetarhed]

@toni4729 Sugar yes but cutting out all carbs and eating only meat eggs fats made the difference

[@RobertOgs-ik9hc]

Being on the diet now for four weeks and just had bloods done and my Doctors says Iron and Ferritin are high therefore when eating a lot of meat how do you keep Iron within nomal range, has anyone had this expierence

[@EricBanner571]

You can donate blood like I do every three months to keep your iron levels down. Higher Ferritin is normal. The question that you need to ask yourself is "How do I feel on Carnivore" If the answer is better, then keep going.

[@mikepackham5260]

Is Eggs and Beef steak Ribeye/Sirloin enough for the Carnivore diet? That's all I've eaten for the past 7 days, one meal per day so fasting for 20hrs daily as well. My issue is I'm 5"11 always been fit and healthy and have held the same weight since secondary school which is about 11.5 stone so losing weight isn't needed for me but I've noticed I've lost weight this past week if anything I need to gain weight not lose it. Should I be eating more?

[@jackd6372]

Aim for 600-700 grams of beef with high fat content

[@mikepackham5260]

@jackd6372 High Fat content? What does that actually mean? More fatty cuts of Beef? Also I'm a fussy meat eater Fat and grissle puts me off the meal.

[@jackd6372]

@ for carnivore fat is your energy source . Protein is not good for energy only repair . AIM for 20-30 percent fat content

[@anndrake492]

I tried carnivore for 2 weeks, lost no weight and got rock hard dry bowels. It took 3 miserable painful weeks of excruciatingly passing golf balls to get rid of all that meat. If I had kept on going, I would have had impacted bowels and nearly died. Forget it.

[@victoriaolson8985]

Only if you include fat. It can’t just be protein. A ketogenic diet is high fat - meat-based.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

A keto diet is high protein and high fat. The protein doesn't need to be meat, it can also be seafood or even some high-protein low-carb nuts; but yes you're right it needs fat, not just protein. That's how people died of "rabbit starvation" in the past, eating lean meat without enough fat.
