@@Ki77a_WhSpRz I cant speak for the OP comment or not. But I can tell you from my own experience, I lost over 150 pounds, reversed type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, NAFLD, low testosterone, and came off of all my medications. My labs have never been better, and my A1c went from 9's down to 4.9 I feel better at 49 than I did in my 20's. My own mother at 66 started carnivore because of my success on it. She was diagnosed with stage 4 renal failure, kidney function at 29% and also NAFLD. After one year of eating steak and eggs/ carnivore. Her kidney function is now at 86% and the NAFLD is gone. Carnivore works.

Started carnivore 8 days before my ortho appointment for my sore achy knees. 2 days before appointment woke up with zero pain in knees. Went to appointment anyway and told the doctor about the turnaround and without even thinking he exclaimed "nothing to due with your diet , just a coincidence" at that point i decided i will never see that doctor again.

So miserable and lifeless, just trying to get through each day with all the extra weight and looming health issues. A year later, have been steady at 145, feel like I am 40 again, I love meat and I actually crave steak and eggs. We raise our own chickens so the eggs are fresh. I don't think about food the way I used to that is for certain. I used to live to eat, now I eat to live. And down to one medication, hoping to be off it soon!

My husband and I started keto/ketovore a year ago on Jan. 1, 2023. My husband has lost almost 100 pounds and I have lost 38. We both have more energy, better mental clarity and few aches and pains in our 60's and 70's.

Here is my healing updated list. To those new to carnivore- Carnivore diet cured so much for me! I update this list as time passes so it is always up to date, newest items at bottom of list. I have been zero carb carnivore for 11 and 1/2 months. * No more perimenopause- completely reversed! *Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself! *No more night sweats *No more waking every 2 hours at night! *It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast! *No more life long eczema *No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea) *No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm *No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more brain fog *No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows *used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more! *Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight. *Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing! *Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well. *Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 46 and look like I am in early 30’s. *Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me. *No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach! *Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup! *no cravings unless they are for meat *no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago. *No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around. * no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller. *feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 40 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that. *Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights. * no more body odor! * I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much. *I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that. * I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things. *Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing! *no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing! * I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too! *Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before. *Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides! *I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone! *I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore. *My teeth look more white on carnivore. *My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome! *i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone. * at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 11 months. *the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry! (Newest update added!) *when laying still in bed to fall asleep at times I would feel dizzy or feel like I was falling through the mattress a bit. I would be laying still and get that suddenly. Felt weird and made it hard to fall asleep. Never diagnosed with vertigo, but it may have been that. I no longer have that since I have been carnivore, which is nice! *little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance! *always had a little numb feeling on top inner corners of big toes. Never diagnosed. Now 1 year in I realized it is almost completely healed. I can feel the nerves in my skin. If I think of anything else will add. ☺️👍🏻 I know when people go on carnivore they are trying to heal something, but if they aren’t like me and notice small things- they may not notice they are healing way more than they realized- things plant foods were causing! And they need to remember, processed foods are made from plants- but so are whole foods (raw or cooked!) they are all toxic! The carnivore diet cures! ☺️👌🏻 The body is a network made of multiple gears- and if one gets messed up it causes a whole domino affect of problems like I had! The carnivore lifestyle is not a fad, it’s the ancestral human way of eating! Go Carnivore for a few months and see how you feel! ☺️👍🏻

I had stage 4 throat cancer, and that was my reason for going on keto. I'd had 2 radical surgeries 3 days apart, and I was very fortunate that they were able to remove it all. But I knew I had to do my part in making sure I did everything to prevent it from returning. I lost 15 kilos and improved so many issues that had crept up over the years. I am 66. I have been free of cancer for 6.5 years. I fell off the keto wagon a while back and started feeling my body and brain, aging quickly, so climbed back onto that wagon. Recently, I did a 3 day fast with Dr Mindy Pelz, eased back into eating (keto) then started the carnivore diet last week. I wish you all the best ❤ What I believe to be important, is to have faith that you are going to be healthy and well. And every day, have a moment of gratitude, even if it's appreciating the birds in your yard, or the love of your pets, a sunset, or anything beautiful that makes you smile. Also, as my youngest son wisely pointed out, Mum, you need to stop and smell the roses.🌹 Take care, and don't be afraid to heal yourself 💜

​@@thirstywatersfreeaudiobookshabitual things and expected feeding times are part of human biology, so expecting food vs being hungry is a subtly different feeling. I usually go for some water if I think I'm hungry and sometimes that fixes it. I don't eat fully carnivore, but few years in and I eat stuff like plain Greek yogurt, 18% cream, and most of my calories come from meat. I cut down on the fat quantity a little, as adding it in was more than enough. Cheap lean ground beef, sausages that are half off, eggs, sometimes I'll have chicken and pork and make other things with some carbs like chilli or such, but I never have grains of any kind. Sometimes some fruit (that I pick off the plant) and some veg like cabbage, onion, carrot, squash. Eat 2-3 times a day usually. Just go by hunger. My roommate lost 100lb and now is 160lb like myself, at 6'. I transitioned to basically eating a lower carb version of what my great grandma and gramps eat and still have them alive and driving today. Notably, they don't have sugar nor much grain, these days at least. It's always meat with a side of veg when I visit.

After my 90 days, 3 years ago, I had an awakening. My mind was clear, my weight was down, my back pain was eliminated, skin cleared up, cysts in my breast shrunk, and I had a pituitary tumor that shrunk. Many many benefits. Thank you for this updated beginners guide.

So after the surgery, I started the hormone replacement, which means that I had to take six hormones a day for the rest of my life, and I still don’t feel great.

Linda, Everyone reacts differently in the beginning… #1. Carb and sugar intake is always the culprit. I kept track to how my body responded to certain foods. The scale is the truth, not the package label. My sister just got started and had some difficult first days. Now she is moving downward on the scale. You are your own best dietician. Study how your bod reacts to certain foods. That is my best advice! Keep it up. This is a comfortable lifestyle change. Easy to maintain and have foods around the house that are easy and delicious. Cravings disappear and your bod tells you, “this is fun, I like it!”

Thank you Dr Berry!!!! I’m down nearly 40 pounds and have completely reversed my type 2 diabetes!!!!

I have tried Keto and Carnivore for a few years and never lost a pound. I said I would never do it again but listening to Jason Fung showed me what has been going on. I take 200 units of a condensed Humalog insulin and it makes my glucose worse every time they increase the units. It causes me to gain weight and makes my glucose worse. I now am getting readings in the 500’s but won’t call my Endocrinologist because they will just increase my insulin again. I can not even walk anymore and I never could convince them I was eating low carb. I have felt so hopeless.He mentioned you can not treat Hyperinsulinemia with insulin. It is like treating an alcoholic with alcohol. My husband agreed to eat my freezer full of Nutri System meals so I can try Carnivore again. I started yesterday, and after watching this video, I commit to 90 days. I will be patient this time and won’t be afraid of fat.

I have been carnivore for 1 month now. I lost 11.4 pounds in that first month. My skin is clear; I used to suffer from hormonal acne. My energy levels are amazing! My gums have stopped bleeding when I brush my teeth. My joints are not stiff and sore; I am regaining flexibility that I lost. I am sleeping more sound. My fatigue is gone. I no longer want to cry when my alarm goes off in the morning. I no longer feel like I desperately need an afternoon nap. I have stopped napping altogether.

I have been doing a carnivore/keto diet for about 4 months and I do not cheat one bit. However, these past few weeks I’ve been getting into the habit of drinking a can of diet soda everyday and recently I have been having atrocious sugar cravings. I almost caved in and ate some honey buns but I couldn’t imagine destroying the 4 months of dedication I’ve put into this new lifestyle change, so I was able to escape the urge. I say all this to say, stay away from artificial sweeteners 🤦‍♀️ I was feeling/doing my best when I stayed away from sweeteners and artificial sweeteners. I could look at cake and not think twice about eating it. But now, since I’ve introduced diet soda, I can feel myself itch for a sweet. Not good 🤦‍♀️ craving is misery

What I've found is having a cheat day once a week keeps me on track. I personally cannot sustain eating just meat 100% of the time. The cheat day has two benefits. 1, it tricks the body into doing a reset so I won't plateau. Doing this kicks me out of ketosis but I'm right back on it the next day. 2, it helps keep me on the diet since psychology I know I'll be devouring yummy carbs before too long. Tacos, pizza, spaghetti. My cheat day is 24 hours which starts Thurs night to Fri night. Saturday thru Wed and all day Thurs it's meat only. I'm not a Dr so take my advice with a grain of salt but it works for me. Been doing this for a long time and I've lost a ton of weight and my bloodwork is amazing. I should also add that I drink 2 glasses of red wine daily. That's really my only carb intake other than my cheat day

It definitely works. I lost 20 lbs in 3 months, cleared up the psoriasis around my nose. I feel like I’m not in such a brain fog.

Last summer i did intermittent fasting keto Only eating any meat / fish , salad and non starch veg. 3 weeks in, I went from walking with a cane, low back and knees pain. To no cane, walking quickly, going up and down stairs easily, glowing skin, tons of energy!! Literally a miracle!! I did alot of research on intermittent fasting, after 16 hours not eating counting sleep time, your body produces stem cells, which heals your body, the inflammation went away from not eating sugar and any wheat or starch. I went back into old eating habits loving bread and pasta being italian, and eating sugar. Im back to square 1 !! Knees pain, low back pain, lower energy, difficulty walking up n down stairs. So back at it started today. I know for a fact it works

10 years with Crohn's Disease. First 7 spent listening to "professionals". Next 3 spent going through diet change after diet change trying to heal myself after realizing these "doctors" are simply drug dealers. I am carnivore for 3 weeks now (as best I can) still figuring out how to deal with this when I'm out running errands, or on vacation. It's tough. BUT.....this is the first diet change I've tried where I had almost immediate changes!!! Mostly my gut inflammation went almost completely away in FUCKIN DAYS!!!!!!!! And I'm not perfect as I'm still figuring it out. I'm excited to see how I may feel when I figure out this lifestyle. Dr Berry is among others a God damned hero helping to put a stop to endless unnecessary suffering. I've been chopped up and tried every pharmaceutical on the market.....they're BULLSHIT.

Started carnivore diet in June at 304 lbs which is very heavy for a female. I did really well for 10 weeks. Scale started moving really well and clothes fit so much better. Then I hit a huge roadblock in August. Severe gallbladder issues. I had gallbladder issues before, so the carnivore diet didn't cause them. The gallbladder issues with my IBS became too much for me so at the end of August I had to stop. And before anyone says I should have toughed it out I am talking SEVERE issues. Diarrhea was 30 or 40 times per day. (with medication ) I became dehydrated with very low electrolytes. Now this is not a warning for anyone. I restarted in October after giving my gut some rest. I only regained a few lbs, but I also watched my processed foods during my break. I eased back into it this time and gave my body time to adjust. My gallbladder needed to get woke up after years of low fat, high carb eating. If anyone is struggling with getting started, don't quit. Reset and begin again. I should mention that many of the health benefits I gained such as less joint pain, lower blood sugar, lower BP, all stayed even during my break. This diet has lasting benefits. Doing my job is so much easier because of the improved joint pain, inflammation, and edema. ( I am a nurse and walk about 5 miles per shift. )

Yeah, I think gradual change is especially necessary for anyone who's been used to a low fat diet. In addition ( idk what Dr. Berry thinks of this... ?), the Enzymedica product " LypoGold" is for digesting fats ( it incl. enzymes for digesting protein and carbs in it too tho). Many of the reviews on Vitacost, where I shop online, mentioned how much it's helped them avoid gallbladder problems/pain. Obviously, consult with a Dr. if at all possible, and another thing that may help (?) is fasting 1 day a week, &/or fresh lemon juice in the 1st glass of water upon waking up.

Every time my blood sugars would level out and stop coming down I'd cut more carbs.

Instead of a huge scoop of stuff like rice or Mac salad just have a little 1/4c to 1/2cup size scoop. I've been sneaking organ meat into our meals. Mostly beef heart and liver ground into our hamburger. I try and mix 1/2lb heart and 1/2lb liver with 4lbs 80/20 hamburger.

How's the progress buddy?

I started this on June 1st. I'm 57 and 5'11" and had spent the majority of my career sitting behind a computer which led to me hovering around 220lbs most of my adult life. Due to a layoff and other circumstances, I began driving a semi truck in 2017 thru fall of 2021. Those four years added sixty pounds to my already overweight frame. Last year my father died and I've been stuck in a hotel dealing with his estate since - the combination of which led me to eating a bunch of garbage (chips, cookies, microwave meals, etc). I never weighed myself, but I'm quite sure I was pushing 300lbs by May of this year. I had bought some t-shirts in March that were 3x and after getting home felt awful realizing I probably should've gotten 4x as they were tight. Again, June 1st I went 100% carnivore. I leaned on pork rinds more than I probably should've and ate those, hard boiled eggs or Braunshweiger as 'snacks' (I see your video here says no snacks, so I failed on that). I had bought some Harley T-Shirts back in January that were 3x - when I got home I realized I should've gotten 4x as they were horribly tight. So, I was amazed that after about 60 days into Carnivore, 100% other than snacks as mentioned I was down a full pant size. To be clear, I was really probably down 2-3 pant sizes as the pant size I started with was very tight and I hung over the belt line pretty terribly. I went to a concert two weeks ago and had to buy a nice shirt, slacks and a sport coat to attend. I had travelled a few states over to the friends house who started me on carnivore. He and his wife were thrilled to see my progress. We went to the store and I automatically headed to the big-and-tall section when my friend stopped me and said I'd probably fit in a 2x shirt. I laughed it off, but went ahead into the dressing room with a 2x shirt. I was shocked to find that it fit comfortably with no worry about wearing a t-shirt underneath it. I was flabbergasted!! Some of the things I've noticed in the last few weeks: 1) I don't even care about the carb loaded crap I used to love. I look at the things I used to be drawn to and it doesn't even whet anything in my appetite at all. It's nothing to just keep walking down those aisles at the store. 2) I had severe allergies the last 15 years. I would wake up every two hours because my sinuses were clogged and my mouth would dry out as a result. Now, I still suffer a bit from allergies - but NOTHING like I used to. I can sleep through the night now!! That is HUGE!! I'm down to having sniffles, sneezing a bit and blowing my nose 3-4 times a day during this season change. UNBELIEVABLE!!! 3) I just noticed I can bend over and tie my shoes without holding my breath first! 4) I can wrap a hotel towel around my waist and it doesn't fall down! 5) I don't have to pull my pants up every 4-5 steps like I used to, I don't have to pull them up at all!! 6) Many aches and pains I associated with getting older have disappeared or have been significantly reduced. I still have a long way to go to get to my ideal weight, but I know following this Carnivore diet is going to get me there!! I have watched a number of your videos over these last few months and I appreciate all the information you are providing to us newbies!! It's very hard to break the societal norms of what is considered 'healthy food' and your channel is one of the ones that I relied on to help me unlearn what I had spent an entire lifetime learning. My buddy and his wife started just over a year ago and are huge fans of yours as well. We just got our boss to start Carnivore today - we saw him last weekend and seeing really is believing (when he saw us and did a bunch of double-takes)!!

@cristi0291 It is mostly getting off gluten which is a very common trigger for Hashimoto's. Gluten is in almost everything including Ranch dressing. The high fat carnivore helps heel hormones.

One thing that made it much easier for me to get into the diet was cutting sugar first, and eating salty carbs like potato chips and noodles every time the cravings came up, as well as keeping myself well fed in general for about a week. After that my sugar cravings were lessened massively and getting fully onto carnivore was much easier.

My progression to carnivore started years ago when I was 275 pounds and decided to stop drinking sugary drinks. I lost 25 pounds in a month. That led me to stop eating sweets or adding sugar to stuff. I lost another 25 pounds. I plateaud for a while until I remembered that carbs were sugar, so I did dirty keto and lost another 25 pounds. I regained 15 because I couldn't break the carb addiction using artificial, zero carb sweeteners. Turn out, I need to abstain because I can't moderate.

@@lindabluemel2796 18 pounds in 2 months is *PHENOMENAL*!! Don’t discount how great of an accomplishment that is! Also be certain you’re taking measurements because the inches may come off even when the pounds are staying the same. Are you certain you’re constipated? Because many carnivores simply don’t create as much waste/stool as they did on a standard diet so they go less often (like once or twice per week) but pass stool easily without straining.

@@lindabluemel2796 feeling better is my main goal. That and living longer. Weight loss helps my joint pain, but it's a secondary concern. I have one small BM a day or every other day.

I'm on day 18 of ketovore, I got told today that it is not sustainable, I didn't say anything, but I thought if my why is big enough it will be, I look at Kelly Hogan, her why was powerful and she has stuck to it. Thank you Dr. Ken ❤

My gp actually recommended carnivore! Thankful for him and you Doc

Update: Dr Ken Berry changed my life! I've learned so much with his valuable & helpful information to better my health. I started this journey September 1, 2023 with cutting out all carbs and sugars. I found that cutting carbs wasn't as difficult as the sugar. I'm a sugar addict for sure. Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to take labs until 21 days in and my lab results at that time was an A1C of 8.0. I just took my labs exactly 3 months to the day Dec 21 and my current A1C is 5.5 today! BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER! THANK YOU DR BERRY. My fasting glucose also dropped from 114 to108. I will never go back to SAD! PHD is the way people. You can do it!

Carnivore changed my life 🎉 I developed an autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s) and as a result of not finding a dr to help me manage it properly I ended up with gastritis, ulcers, painful inflammation and joint pain, became severely obese, brain fog was awful, nafld, hormones out of balance, out of control anxiety and depression, skin rashes, vitamin & mineral deficiencies. I tried carnivore after no other diets helped. Within 9 days I noticed significant changes and they kept coming. My lifetime migraines and insomnia resolved and haven’t had one in 15 months and all other issues I mentioned resolved as well. This diet has restored my mental health and I have energy again. I’ve lost all the weight too. It’s saved me so much time in the kitchen and less complicated grocery store trips. And it’s cheaper than people think!

I did keto from 7-19-22 to 8-1-23. Started Carnivore 8-2-23 until present. There are no plans to return. Over 110 lbs lost now. I'm under 25 lbs to go to get to a surgical place for spinal fusion. Dr. Berry's information is changing people's lives. I wish more people would actually listen to what he is saying. Thank you Dr Berry.

Started at 264lbs twenty-two days ago. Weighed in at 242lbs yesterday. Joint pains have gone away, fat is going away rapidly, sleeping better (deeper sleep and need less), and have more energy overall. At 23, this is a good plan to help me make the change that Ive been needing.

Oh my gosh! I have had the same issue for 20 months. Have been trying to do Carnivore for two weeks. Still having some issues with some meat smelling spoiled - have bought Filet Mignon a few times and went right home and cooked it, only to throw it away because of the spoiled taste, coffee smells like chemicals. Your reply is encouraging. All the best to you.

Yes, carb withdrawals are a very real thing. Mine were horrible and lasted for two weeks. After a month, I felt so good I was amazed. Little did I know that the healing would continue for many months! Now, over three years later, I will never go back to carbs. I am not a wildly strict carnivore. I am very meat heavy ketovore. Experiment, and learn what your body likes and dislikes.

I tried the carnivore diet back in January. I was doing alright for about 10 days, except my stools were infrequent, small, and greasy. Then one evening, almost suddenly, I started getting chills, felt dazed, and had no energy. I went to sleep and woke up the next day with the worst diarrhea of my life. At this point I was eating non carnivore foods. Strangely, I was craving fruit, which is weird because I never really crave fruit, except on hot days, but this was in the middle of winter. The diarrhea was horrible. It lasted for over a week. I had to have a 5 gallon bucket next to my bed at all times. I wasn't doing carnivore to lose weight. I'm actually pretty skinny and probably need to gain weight. I did it because I have acne that I'm trying to get rid of and because it just makes sense to me as being the healthiest most natural diet for humans to eat. I want to try carnivore again this autumn or winter. If you or anyone else has any tips on how to transition smoothly, I would greatly appreciate it. By the way, I still have acne. I started taking cod liver oil daily, which has helped to reduce it a little, but it isn't enough.

@codyburt6536 For most, an instant 100% diet change is only symptomatic for a few days. Individual metabolism, however, can be very different from person to person. Since the rapid change went poorly for you, I would recommend a more gradual change. Start with a very keto diet. Count carbs and keep your total daily carb intake below 50. Give that a few weeks. Then turn them down lower. See how your body reacts and adjust accordingly. Each of us has our own happy spot. For me, my body is happiest when I keep my carbs below 20 gms a day. Yours will probably be different. Just get started and don't be afraid to adjust it to your Individual needs.

Dr Berry is the first one who is offering knowledge and help without trying to sell you anything. That in itself says a lot. My wife suffers from chronic inflammation and at 72, she is ready to give this a go.

I have been part of the PHD Community for 17 months now. My Blood sugar has dropped significantly. A1c was 12.6 when I started and is under 7 now. Still a WIP but so much better. My BP has almost normalized. I have stopped the beta blocker and my Losartan dose went from 100 mg to 25 mg now. I no longer need a cpap to breath at night. My tongue and throat are thinner now. I have lost 65 lbs. Yes I fell off the potato and pistachio wagon a few times so a few things are still a wip but.. It is day and night in nutrition. I eat mostly meat and meat fat. I no longer hurt from all the preservatives and carbs and plant anti nutrients. I had no idea oxalates were even a thing. Now I find out I am super sensitive to it. It wasn't Fibromyalgia. It was plants and processed foods and sugars. Allergies gone. Brain fog gone. Sleep is better. Energy is better. Depression and mood is better. I am not just doing this for the weight. I want to feel good and live a proper human life.

Dr. Ken, love you buddy, I’ve been carnivore for one year, very strict, I eat beef, fat, farm, fresh eggs, never pasteurized, a couple of different hard cheeses. Occasionally, the first few weeks I would have sugar attacks once a week I would sit down with a pile of ice cream, and then it would be over with, after about four weeks I no longer craved sweets, and had absolutely none, I had severe gout in my toes, wrist and even my neck, the doctors gave me pills for a couple years, never changed anything, five weeks after carnivore I never had an attack again, not one, to this day I don’t even have any discomfort it is 100% gone, I learned a lot of how to eat carnivore from you, sir - thanks!!!!!!!! Also, I eat very little cheese, I eat a lot of Irish butter. Also, beef, tallow, I get all my beef from a local butcher, and he throws in straight beef fat from cuttings. I like to eat and munch on sometimes, I am eating 50% fat 50% meat, I don’t like chicken or fish. I pretty much just stay to beef fat and a lot of farm fresh eggs. Absolutely not pasteurized from a local farmer also - thanks so much brother you save my life!!!!!!!!!!!

I did get pizza tonight! Usually I scrape the cheese and toppings off the crust. But tonight we were overdue for a Buddy’s pizza where the crust is worth eating. Today marked the day where I dropped to my lowest weight of 160 lbs, down from 180 in 6 months. To do this I have cut out most carbs, especially breads, pasta, starchy vegetables and sweets. I do allow for occasional cheat days like tonight and I’ll eat a little dark chocolate. So far I’m ok with this diet. Nutrisystem and Weight Watchers were unsustainable for me. I enjoy eating the meals I prepare. Most days I’ll prepare a green or tomato salad with avocado olive oil and wine vinegar. I’ll stay on this for another 6 months and make an assessment. I just don’t think a 100% carnivore is in my future, although I can honestly say I’m probably close to it.

For those who are thinking of starting carnivore right off, consider following strict Keto for about 2 months first. It gets you in the habit of cutting breads, pastas, sugars, potatoes and sweets as well as increasing your meats and animal fats. This also lets your body and digestive system adjust and you will likely see some encouraging weight loss. Then you can ease into full BBBE carnivore because you are just eliminating the vegies. Avoid manufactured foods supposedly made for keto - they lie! Its like getting into a cold water swimming pool - you can ease in slowly, or you can jump in the deep end - but at least you have choices.

Been carnivore/keto since 2020. Heres my why. Joint inflammation, vision was steadily getting worse. The first week was tough. I think my body was flushing all the toxins out that the meat protein was replacing. Dropped 15-20 pounds in the first 120 days. Dry eyes went away and vision has gotten better, inflammation was gone, less overheating overall in the summer. Less brain fog, and very little sugar cravings.
