If carnivore diet influencers should be put in jail then we should also jail the lobbyists working for the sugar production industry- they do far more damage!
@@julienfroidevaux1143that's not true at all. I've met many fat vegans eating nearly 100% processed foods. What magazine did you read that from? Ridiculous! Nothingg is every 100%..lol
@@dana102083 Another Carnivore anecdotal claim amazing 💪. I did not read it in a " magazine " one of many sources includes pub med , with citations . Might want to be more knowelgable first if you want to try to debunk somebody ?
Pretty much. Unfortunately the USDA has so much power medical school lecturers have to teach eat grains and avoid saturated fats to medical students, and doctors not giving these official dietary guidelines will not be covered by insurance if sued.
I can't find any research Dr. Fuhrman has done on the carnivore diet at all. He sells LOTS of plant-based products, including books he has written, & SUPPLEMENTS! There's your money shot there! Big bucks in supplements ay? So what supplements do carnivores need? I've started taking daily electrolytes actually since yesterday, to see if that will help with finger & toe cramps. Trying to drink more water too. I hate liver & kidney, but I can cop paté alright spread on some well cooked meat! I'm feeling fine a few weeks in. But I don't think I need any supplements! I've not been the perfect carnivore every single day, but 96% of the time I am! Maybe more accurately I should call myself a ketovore? And if I err it's like a teaspoon of raw sugar in my coffee at a friend's house, instead of my stevia. I eat eggs, bacon, maan I love bacon! A lot of beef mince or ground beef, lamb, pork chops sometimes. Those big ole ribeye steaks look yummo, but are a bit expensive. I should splurge one day & buy one. I'd probly marinate it & bake it. I've gotta have my meat fully cooked right through with zero blood or pink, or I can't eat it. Ew! Even burnt a bit is ok. Up to 6 eggs with meat mostly. I use use onion & garlic a lot, & I throw in a small carrot in quite often. I also use peeled tomatoes & tomato paste. I make curries with coconut sometimes. They are the only veges I eat, & they seem ok; I really used them for years. There's oxalates in tomato paste & seeds, but it seems my system is ok with it. Maybe I may try removing all these for a bit, but I really like them for their flavours. But Dr. Fuhrman should not be making such idiotic, inflammatory statements about the carnivore diet. He clearly has conflicts of interest since he SELLS the stuff he promotes. I'll be open-minded, I'll accept people could be healthy on a considered, supplemented plant-based diet with no meat intake. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's the ONLY way to eat! According to Fuhrman, it is the only way. Meh, no. Ancient & prehistoric humanoids were overwhelmingly carnivores according to research cited by Dr. Anthony Chaffee, using some kind of analysis on their teeth & bone. So I'm not gonna listen to anything this guy says at all. He's way too dismissive & one eyed, & his aggression pollutes my thinking, which I can do without. His plant-based diet my be ok, but he still has idiot ideas, which negate everything else.
What ever happened to simply disagreeing with somebody? This cancel culture, put them in jail culture crap has got to stop. It's a slippery slope, give them an inch they will take a mile.
do you know about recent yt guidance about aligning with who on misinformation etc.. soon the channels like dr baker's or dr berry's might be negatively affected.. I think it's time to look for another platform before such channels will be gagged or deleted...
@@GuitarNewz Absolute B.S. More people in the west get cancer and heart disease. They Eat alot of MEAT AND DAIRY. Thats your bad boys. In other parts of the world where they have low rates of heart disease and cancer. They eat diets HIGH IN WHOLEFOOD CARBS. A little meat/fish. And alot of fruits and veg..
Don't you know why red meat is responsible for nearly all colon or bowel cancer? It happens because the body can't break down red meat properly. So waste lodged in the colon and intestines. Especially in fools who don't eat enough fibre which is most Americans. Then over time it can putrify and go change the cells in that area of the body. And thats when these cancers start. Dairy causes alot of PROSTATE cancer.
I watched a smart doctor in a white coat on TH-cam years ago and started low carb. Lost 50 pounds in the middle of menopause and it’s still off 8 years later. Switched from Keto to carnivore just to see what would happen in my lipid panel. My LDL dropped 56 points. My HDL went into the 90’s and my triglycerides are now in the 30’s. My GP knows all about this way of eating and is cheering me on . Thank you!! Your advice has truly changed my life.
@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica I’ve dropped about two pounds so far but I was already at my goal weight when I started. It wasn’t a huge change for me as I didn’t eat a lot of vegetables or “Keto” products. I continued having coffee also.
I once watched a talk that Dr. Joel Fuhrman did on vegan diets. Afterwards people lined up to ask him questions. I have never ever seen someone so arrogant and rude. The only people he was polite to were those interested in paying for his vegan program. Horrid little narc. He is not interested in helping/ healing people. His goal is profit.
yep, and only if living better leads to living longer, living longer has any value. there is a fictional disease (in an kid's comic) that make you immortal at the price that you have to constantly eat your own meat and permanent anguish if you dont. that a clear example how low the value of a long life has objectively while disregarding life quality.
I've been CARNIVORE for over 4 years. I eat one meal a day most days. I'm 74 years old. I wore glasses at 42 years old. I don't wear glasses any more. My PTSD has diminished greatly. My leg used to ache. It doesn't hurt anymore. I sleep deep. My inner peace has increased. This doctor may be right. I wouldn't change my diet even if it kills me. I feel to peaceful and I have no pain. I'll stay on this plan until I die. I wish Dr. Furman well.
you are good because you are eating OMAD. Even if you throw in garbage the body will have adequate time to clear that out. most of the goodness you are deriving from your food is from your limited intake & not due to it being carnivore. The same carnivore diet if you eat 5-6 times a day then your body will start to give troubles. Having said all these , I must also mention that this is my hunch from my continuous experiment with food & learnings from experts & simple logic.
@@utubevenky Clearly you haven’t tried Keto, IF, or Carnivore. It’s not about Calories - WHAT you eat matters - even when. I eat as much protein of various types as I want, eating until I’m “comfortably stuffed” as Dr. Ken Berry puts it, and I’m never hungry or feel the deprivation of other previous diets.
Those people that I follow re carnivore have not only reduced their weight, gotten rid of skin problems, diabetes, inflammation but also look years younger. This guy is THE PROBLEM.
I do notice too when I stay carnivore and don't eat anything with fibers or with strange ingredients (I still like processed meats from time to time) I break out. The meats I get are gluten and soy free but they do have a few other things that might be bothering me.
Notice how viciously he attacks carnivore or animal based diets but says nothing about the harmful effects of a SAD diet or high sugar diet? Furman is a fraud. Ironically he is the one destroying people's health and spreading misinformation.
If I ate a bagel my sugar would go off the charts. I would never listen to this guy. Thank you Doctor Westman ❤ I’m 70and l will listen to you and Doctor Ken Berry. I have never felt so good in my life.
Sure, but a bagel? That fits into the ultra-processed refined category. Fuhrman wouldn't encourage you to eat that. Neither would Dr. Westman. FYI: my husband is reversing diabetes on a low fat whole food plant based diet. I never thought it would be possible, but his A-1c results tell the story.
@@lindalarue1722Difficult to break down carbs maintain the blood sugar high for a very long time. 4 hours+ that's not a good thing. that causes cardiovascular damage Arguably its better to just have your refined (simple sugars) and move on with your day. Still working on studying to confirm that. FWIW complex carbs rots your teeth faster
@@IonTroneI no longer eat them because they contain oxalates - even a VERY ripe one has about what the kidneys can manage in a day. A firm one has about X5 that, and overloads the kidneys pretty badly. Not for me, thanks. But a hunk of butter, yay.
And margarine was healthy and butter was bad? And there is both good and bad cholesterol even though there is only one single molecule in different packaging? And cholesterol causes heart disease? And cancer is caused by genetic mutations? I am convinced that allopathic medicine is more superstition than science. They weed out independent thinkers in the admissions process, leading to the hive mind we see today.
I had a major heart attack 7 years ago. I’ve since gone meat heavy keto and now for the last year, carnivore, why have all my labs greatly improved so that even my cardiologist says I should keep doing this. What do you say about that, Doc?
The guy clearly has an ideology and his stances aren't based in reality or science: cherry picking studies and results; distorting and eliminating truth and nuance. He's a snake oil salesman at best, and at worst, you can fill in the gap.
@@hugoanderkiviyep. Sadly these Vegan influencers have been ramping up their lies recently. Is it coincidentally after the WEF and Bill Gates have started pushing the banning of meat and animal products blaming them on the hoax of ‘man-made’ climate change, which has nothing to do with methane or CO2, is a natural cycle, and isn’t an emergency ? I guess they fund these Vegan influencers and groups to ramp things up to brainwash the public. It’s all about controlling the food supply and making people sick and then reducing populations, making money on medications treating the sick and malnourished, and also so Bill can sell his fake ‘meat’ and fake lab ‘eggs’ which will cause cancers and malnourished and cause other harm to the public. I asked a producer of a top Vegan documentary where the biggest funding came to make the documentary, and he said they wanted to be anonymous. I asked if billionaire philanthropists were involved and he said yes but couldn’t give names. I told him he didn’t need to tell he any more 😉
Carnivore saved my life literally. I suffered from congestive heart failure, diabetes, arthritis, declining cognitive functions, acid reflux, and several other symptoms. Within months, I was off all medications and feeling great again. To think 7 years ago, if I had continued to follow what the American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, and others that are similar, I would have been dead now for over 6 years.
Wow. Save the congestive heart failure, you are me. I do have a problematic valve and my doctor told me it is normal for oldies... only it isn't normal for a person with familiar story of strokes and heart attacks. She told me to diet, which means eat more veggies. I was looking for the options and here I am. Started carnivore yesterday. Not full yet because I want to transition slowly to it by uping meat and reducing carbs.
@@kahearne5361I'm trying really hard to only say it when I mean it and call myself out on my canadianisms.. I stopped being as sarcastic as well as I replaced with positive sounding thoughts.
My first husband was on a strict VEGAN diet for nearly two years. Friends and family kept asking if he was undergoing chemo because he got so skinny. Then he lost feeling in his extremities and had to see a neurologist. They thought he had multiple sclerosis. He luckily started reading a cookbook that referred to Weston Price. He finally started eating meat again and got weekly B-12 shots and reversed his severe malnutrition from his Vegan diet. Scary!! I have to admit that he did go to Dr. Joel Fuhrman in Flemington, NJ and he really believed in him. It almost killed him!
So glad he woke up and got out of that death trap. It's criminal what Fuhrman and others are suggesting with veganism. What they teach is not backed on any research or proof, and they are liars.
The vast majority of the 43 million food borne illnesses and 5000 deaths in the US each year are in non vegans and caused by animal products or animal based contamination. So what if one moron can’t put together a healthy plant based diet. Tens of thousands of plant-based individuals do just fine over decades of living. 🤔
For health reasons I went total vegetarian, vegan, raw foods, for over five years. However, for me, things went from bad to worse. The turning point was when, after a blood panel, my doctor told me to reduce my red meat intake and exercise more. Well, if being a vegan and hiker wasn’t enough, then what was the use? I introduced meat back into my diet, reduced the sugars and carbs and wouldn’t you know it, everything started getting better. My next blood panel proved I was on the right track. The doctor then had to admit she was doing the same thing and that’s why she was already off three of her four meds (she was twenty years younger than me), and loosing weight, too. I’m 73 and do not need any medications.
I know a group of vegans same. Long term emaciation. Women almost looking mummified in their 60's & the men were quite bloated in the face. They were very strict seventh day Adventist and into Ellen White's healthy eating model.
Friend and I followed Furhman for years. Lost weight and energy and was miserable the whole time. The friend looked skeletal and got cancer despite the promises. Sure if it works for you great but I don't buy it anymore.
With hindsight, I can honestly say that over my lifetime (pushing 7 decades), doctors have caused me far more harm than good. The lack of integrity in the health care system that became blatantly obvious in the spring of 2020 is what began my search for answers that eventually led me to carnivore. Lo and behold, a number of conditions that I had accepted as "age-related" and wasn't even focused on just happened to resolve themselves -- so thankful that I wasn't steered away by the so-called "experts." I'd rather have ten more years feeling as well as I do now than thirty more years being miserable like I was before carnivore. That said, I fully anticipate a longer and far healthier life ahead of me than I did three years ago.
Same here, western medicine and medical doctors have also caused me more harm than good, in the long run. I'm still recovering from an iatrogenic illness caused by a medication prescribed by my doctor. So much suffering from side effects and other consequences, it nearly took my life, twice. I no longer visit a doctor unless I absolutely have to, and then I take what they say with a grain of salt and do my own research before following their advice or taking their pills. The last time I took an anti-biotic it cured my gum infection, but a whole string of other negative effects flowed on from the imbalance caused by the pills, causing all kinds of issues which lasted months. I should have let my infection heal by itself, which is what I usually do. Safely back on a meat based keto diet now, and feeling better already.
I found most doctors just want you the hell out of their office. Got symptoms? Here take some pills that do... something. Get out. They dont actually care about the people they are "treating". Not all ofc, there are some good ones out there but they are rare.
That's literally what lead me to just start this way of life. I already was against artificial sugars colors and flavors but then I started doing more research into plants and all of the vegetable oils and they are basically poisons for us.
I had a copy of Fuhrman’s book “Eat to Live” and ate a high vegetable, low fat meat diet for many years. I maintained my weight around 165 and thought I was doing pretty well. (Edit 1/13/24: I gained in 2018 and started Keto @ 173) Then I tried Keto in January 2019. I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and felt satiated! Then I continued to lose and by August had lost 40 pounds! PAINLESSLY, btw. In January 2022, having maintained my loss, I went more fatty meat and much less veggies - I lost another 15 pounds in two months and now maintain THAT ever since. Oh yeah, and I feel amazing and virtually never crave Carbs! I threw out my Fuhrman book…😉
Okay, this is me doing some math here. You lost 10 pounds. Then lost 40 pounds. Then you lost another 15 pounds. So, all total, you lost 65 pounds. Wow, that's a lot of tonnage! Congratulations.
A rancher in Alberta who has been a carnivore for 65 years, raised 10 children the same way. And, she looks amazing. I thought she was maybe in her fifties, she's actually 82 years old. Her skin is flawless, and she still works long hours every day on the ranch. She is the picture of health.
I was a total vegan 3 months and it nearly killed me. I am 3 months carnivore now and I am thriving like never before. Diabetes almost gone without many meds. If I dont eat carbs I am not diabetic.
I tried carnivore for 3 months and I couldn't stop pooping my pants. It was disgusting. People said my body odor was a mix between rotten fish and someone who voted for Trump. In other words, disgusting. I stopped and as the toxic meat products left my body, my mood became better. People stopped avoiding me because of my smell and I no longer have to wear a diaper. Women frequently come up to me now and ask me if I will have sex with them, which if I am not too busy, I try to oblige. I am a big believer in giving too others.
LOL ok. Eating a certain way for three months isn't going to kill you unless you're severely malnourished for some strange reason or eating literal poison.
It's interesting that these so-called professionals are saying people should go to jail....I guess they think they are immune from they themselves possibly being judged as jail worthy??? The hubris is truly breathtaking 🙄
I was a vegan for six and a half years. Also a vegetarian a year and a half before going vegan. The worst diet ever hungry. All the time had stomach problems, skin problems, teeth problems, problems with mood. I was tired all the time. Couldn't get enough nutrients. Been carnivore for 16 months. I feel great. I do not eat. No plans, no fruits. People get caught up in the vegan cult and a believe whatever they're told
I feel good too since i changed my diet. And the biggest surprise is... anxiety GONE, depression thougts GONE, joints pain GONE... all those symptoms started when i was vegetrian 😢 I also notice that my sleeps are way better and waking up early too, with energy. 😊 No more brain fog. I have started carnivore diet 5 weeks ago and happy! My skin also change, for better. I am impress. 😊
Vegans are trying to force a non-biological reality onto their bodies, just like people who have sex change operations. They're pushing a fantasy world view trying to conquer their DNA. It's like they're giving the middle finger to God saying no, you did it wrong, we're doing it my way and it's going to work. Yeah good luck with that.
Furman is one in a long line of plant based gurus that look so frail that its surprising that he can hold his head up straight. So sad that many worship people that look like him, he's made a fortune selling books.
This American Eskimo has been watching this whole "let's eat bugs and veggies" and I laughed and realized these people live in their egos and fantasy world. Beluga whale is the very best by the way.😉
@@doobybro1207 You do you I guess. I can't stand the thought of eating whale only because of its endangered status, not so much that I think it would be gross. I'm actually pretty brave when it comes to trying new food.
Furry-man is a fearmonger. I've proved it in my own life that Atkins, keto, and carnivore have given me the best quality of life when I have adopted these ways. We all must take responsibility for our own healthy existence in this world. I am nearing 70 yrs. old...
You are simply lying.There’s absolutely no change you get fat on his diet ‘as a matter of fact you lose 3 pounds of fat every week if you are fat to begin with
“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.” ― Bertrand Russell
I really like and respect Dr Westman because he’s respectful, informative, interesting, backs up his statements, and comes across as a genuinely nice person. All the traits that Dr Fuhrman should learn.
Wow that guy on the podcast is scary! Thank you for a dose of reality. Your humble and honest information on the studies is very refreshing. Thank you!
It shows you how radical many of these vegan activists are. They continue to up the anti in their rhetoric against keto and carnivore diets. When they are losing the argument, they become more hostile.
@@ianstuart5660for this doctor it may be more about his political beliefs in the animals rights activism and climate change theory than metabolic health.
I had married friends who were both practicing a macrobiotic diet. The husband very nearly died because of the diet. So maybe Fuhrman is the one who belongs in jail (as long as he is acting as a judge).
Thanks Dr. Westman! I started carnivore 4 weeks ago and have lost 24 lbs, my blood pressure is back to normal and I’m sleeping so much better. Also exercising regularity too. Your research is so appreciated!!!
Sadly you'll also probably get bowel cancer too - it's the exercise and less calories that makes you feel better - not eating just dead burned animal carcasses
@@philipfreyaborn8288 So a food we've consumed since the dawn of our species (around 300,000 years ago) and that our ancestors consumed for at least 3 million years before that is harmful to us? Try again.
I am a retired nurse. In the height of the low fat scam, 2 of my coworkers started a low fat diet. They lost weight, lost their hair, skin looked like leather, was always broke buying the low fat 'foods'. They lost weight. Stopped the diet, gained all weight and some. Their hair did not come back. Skin still looked horrible. I also worked with vegan, vegetarians, same look. I went on Atkins over 20 years ago. Controlling my weight, lots of energy, working circles around these people. Now on carnivore and still doing great!!! Lots more to this story but to want to jail people for being healthy is totally ridiculous! I have a right to pursue happiness in this country and WHO DOES THIS DOCTOR THINK HE IS!!! He should measure his words carefully.
I'm an RN too, never bought into the low fat scam-replaced it with sugar, what did people think would happen? Always figured natural foods, butter, eggs, meat and real vegs was the best. Never agreed with Statin use either, turns out I'm right on that too.
I had followed a careful, clean vegetarian diet to try to lose weight & get healthier. I got worse. Still believing in plant-based nutrition, I went raw. Developed a ton of food allergies and still lost no weight. Went back to an omnivore diet. Began eliminating foods that were causing allergic reactions & ended up carnivore. Lost over 30 lbs quite quickly, felt great, pain mostly eliminated. Eventually, I added some veggies back in to my diet and very quickly gained back the weight (and more) and pain & inflammation is back.
Thank you Dr. Westman for your thoughtful response to Dr. Fuhrman's idiotic assertions. I started Keto a few years ago; lost over 50 lbs., got off blood pressure and acid reflux medications; i am no longer prediabetic; joints do not hurt much; my kidney dr. does not want to see me any more; my hdl is high, triglicerides low; but my physician still wants me to go on cholestoral meds because my LDL is "high". I ate lots of animal fats and yet lost fat. I have gone off "the diet wagon" eating pastries and ice cream recently and immediately gained fat on my body and had to go back to size 12 pants from size 12, and L from M tops (before going keto i wore size 18 and XL clothes). Next month i shall be 82 yrs. old. My goal is to be healthy when i die. So more carnivore and fewer vegetables from now on.
Yep, I agree, that's a wonderful goal! I have not heard it stated that way before. There's something quite deep about wanting to pass away healthy as opposed to giving in to some factors that can be somewhat controlled. Wonderful mindset, and here's to wishing you another 10+ years of health (maybe a Centenarian even!)
I lost over 100lbs and cleared a partial blockage from my heart within a year of doing carnivore and my cardiologist also said they no longer wanted to see me anymore. Didn’t even test my LDL, just saw the weight loss and the cleared blockage on an EKG and said to come back if what brought me to the Cardio came back!
Mark Bell: asks a question about the micronutrient content of animal products. Dude goes on a side tangent about broccoli completely avoiding the question. Pretty huge red flag early on
Harriet Hall, a founder of Science-Based Medicine, a website owned and operated by the New England Skeptical Society, reviewed Fuhrman's Nutritarian diet and commented that he tends to incorrectly assume association studies show causation and that his diet has not been tested in controlled trials. Hall stated that "Fuhrman makes extraordinary claims for the Nutritarian diet, but extraordinary claims must be supported by extraordinary evidence, and the evidence he presents is far from compelling."
Did you get regular bloodwork done? Were you actually on top of your risk factors? Did you hear Dr. Fuhrman say that his diet would guarantee no cardiovascular events? Correlation does not equal causation.
I wonder how this doctor would explain the success of the thousands of people doing carnivore diet and becoming a lot healthier, almost miraculous recoveries in health. I believe regular people more than scientist/doctors, they're the reason we are in the shape we are in. Trust the science they say....at your own peril.
don't need to i can see in my own life what the keto/carnivore diet has done for me i was sick and dying eating vegan and now i am losing weight and fixing my health
30 ish years ago I started on the Atkins diet to fight debilitating Migraines, I worked the week I started 100% low carb. I remember Dr Atkins saying high animal Fat is fine if you don’t add in carbohydrates. I agree and I’m a healthy 76 year old and metabolically right.
My cardiologist was shocked at the improvements in my blood profile when I was 6 months on Keto. Since then I have gone to carnivore and my blood glucose has even gotten better. He told me to keep doing what I am doing since my profile looks so good.
"Mr Know it All" starts with the theory that Meat and Fish dont have Micronutrients. When countered that Liver is the most micro-nutrient dense food he shifts to Phytonutrients. Doesnt answer the question😂
These hosts were so patient and polite and brought up very poignant arguments. They seemed a lot more sane than the doc. This makes me want to follow them! Thank you Dr. Westman for doing these videos where you dissect them point by point. I trust you because you know the nuances of how research is done and you actually have experience in it. It makes finding a doc I can trust really difficult....
During menopause 5 years ago, I was desperately seeking relief through diet and nutrition. I chose Dr Furmans woe. My symptoms worsened to the point that I couldn’t sleep and my anxiety level upped to a full blown panic disorder. When I finally added meat back into my diet and limited fruits and vegetables, almost immediately my symptoms stopped, I was able to sleep and my anxiety went away. I now eat a balanced low carb diet with intermittent fasting 16/8 and I’m feeling so much better and healthier at the age of 56.
That doctor said TWO things ABSOLUTELY CORRECT at 7:10 "The amount of Ignorance is INCREDIBLE. And the amount of FALSE INFORMATION given out to people is really QUITE DISTURBING."!!!!
According to a 2021 study most medical doctors have taken an average of 11 hours of nutrition classes by the time they get their phd. Your regular doctor is taught and learns to treat symptoms NOT how to get at the root cause of the problem. I have literally met one doctor in my life that said hey we need to look at your diet and referred me to a nutritionalist. That was 38 pounds ago.
I've been on the Carnivore Lifestyle since March 30th, 2023...and I feel f@cken amazing now! Diagnosed with MS for 16.5 yrs, and for the first time I finally have hope. Got off all my MS meds now, lost 30 lbs, energy better, concentration is better, skin cleared up etc. Everything is better now!
This is how you test this.. who can run harder and win an arm wrestle! Also who is smiling, and who has a miserable demeanor. Vegans do not seem to be happy or vital..
@@defeqel6537 That's true but the color of their skin is remarkably different. Dr Westman has glowing pink skin, the other dude's skin looks a little on the gray side
I'm starting my eighth week of Full Carnivore. I did my research with Anthony Chaffee MD, yourself, and other doctors and made the decision to do it cold turkey. My first visit to my local GP came with warnings about the need for carbs and that there was a risk to my health. I gave the Doc a few of the links for him to follow up on his own research. After seven weeks I have lost 17 Kilos in weight, I have a lot more energy, and when my blood work came back it had my GP scratching his head. I was Obese with Pre Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and my cholesterol, prior to my starting this new lifestyle, was high for the first time in my 57 years. \ Now, everything is in the normal range, and I mean everything. My GP wants to wait another three months to run another range of blood tests, but, according to the current data, if it continues, as it is today, he wants to remove me from my blood pressure medication. Such an incredible change in only seven weeks, with sooo many more years ahead of me.
Don't worry Dr. Westman. We fully support you and other doctors supporting keto and low carbs diet. As Alice Hoffman said: "Once you know some things, you can't unknow them. It's a burden that can never be given away." You have helped a lot of people including myself to reverse my type 2 diabetes, borderline high cholesterol, hypertension, severe fatty liver, auto-immune disease, among others without the help of any big pharma, big corporate medicines who are in the business of not really making sure people are healthy but in the business of taking advantage of the people in enriching their lives and businesses. Kudos to all of you, Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Jason Fung, Dra. Rojo, and all the medical doctors and people who supported keto and LC and risking their careers and professions just to tell the truth and expose these evils and lies about our health. We will always include you in our prayers. May God bless all of you and your families!
Well, Dr Fuhrman must fight for his position. He has staked his career, his intellect, his reputation, and his multimillion $ empire on the WFPB diet. He is pugilistic even with other plant doctors who vary slightly from his way. So he has put all his eggs (no pun intended) in this basket. He’s not about to just come out and say “oops, maybe there’s something to this carnivore/keto w.o.e.”
Exactly! Dr Fuhrman is never on the information sharing level, he's always on the defencive here, really attacking back (yet I never heard any initial attack to start him off!). Like a company director defending a crowdfunded startup that's been ran into the ground! lol
In my work in public health there was a belief that laws should be written to make doctors practice in the same way. If they did not, it was assumed someone had to be wrong. The idea of best practice implies someone (who?) decides what is best?Dr. Westman has helped me understand there are more ways to heal and be heathy than one👍. Different strokes for different folks‼️. I used to think doctor shopping was bad. Now I know it is in your best interest.
IMO, people like Dr. Furman who make outrageous statements about people who disagree with him, and who presume that their knowledge is complete and authoritative should be ignored.
I think that along as people experience overall improvement in health there is no basis for punishing anyone for promoting. Well, generally speaking words should not be prohibited.
As soon as I heard the word Adventist in the same sentence as advice for good nutrition.I knew all nutritional facts would be lost. Thanks again Dr Westman another great video.
I am new to this channel and think I am going to learn a lot. Who were the guys that were interviewing Dr. Fuhrman? I would be interested in hearing more of their interviews.
70 years old. Banished carbs and sugar from my diet 7 weeks ago after being told I am pre diabetic with hypertension. Weight then 89.9 kgs now down to 78.6 Kgs. BMI now in the healthy green zone. Blood pressure normalised. Medication for blood pressure condemned to the bin. People comment how well I look. I save money on my food bill which is now less than 40 bucks a week. Was double that prior to my new diet. Here is what I NOW eat every week. 3 tins of Sardines with bones and skin in spring water. Lambs liver ( I add a spoon of curry paste) for flavour Pork Belly ( cut thinly and cooked like bacon) 1 kg Ground Beef 20% fat content Chicken wings or chicken thighs. 1kg chuck steak (slow cook 3 hours) 18 eggs. Butter. The only problem I have is my wife who like the doctor who is against carnivores believe my new diet will kill me. We will see.
Strange how may cardiologist recommended to me that i reduce carb intake, i then responded that i was on a Keto diet and had been for some time. His response "Great, stay on it". I have lost over 60lb. I think that has increased my lifespan. I plan to shead another 20 to 30lb.
It was actually through Fuhrman that I came to keto and carnivore. I had been battling weight gain and health issues after several decades of a (high fiber btw) vegetarian/vegan diet. I had been following Fuhrman and one day recalled his personal story of fasting himself back to health as a young athlete who had been injured. I thought "I'll try fasting!". It seemed to help and then... lo and behold I found Dr Jason Fung's work. THAT was the door that changed my life completely! Thank you Dr. Fuhrman.
I’m a healthy 70-year-old ketovore going on 4 years, now. When people (mostly plant based dieters) criticize my lifestyle, I bring up something that they find hard to refute. One of the most famous vegetarians was Linda McCartney. She became a vegetarian in 1975 at age 34 and died of breast cancer, sadly, in 1998 at the young age of 56. I would ask Dr. Fuhrman to explain why.
As to why... he may say that it just depends. Linda McCartney was a smoker (marijuana) and maybe there are other risk factors she had. He may also say that another famous vegetarian just died last month at the age of 99- Bob Barker of the Price is Right. So who knows.
That is really reaching far...there are many reasons a person can develop cancer. Linda McCartney was also a talented photographer for over thirty years. Darkroom chemicals could have played a significant role in her cancer, but none of us will ever really know.
What you have to keep in mind is eating a high animal diet mixed with carbohydrates has a very different effect from eating a high animal diet without the carbohydrates. Most epidemiological studies won’t include or designate a low carb or ketogenic group. In fact a pure carnivore diet is relatively recent development in modern society. There are more nutrients in a piece of meat than in any plant.
The best thing I've heard was Dr. Ken Berry. He said you don't need "a diet", you don't need to buy a book, you don't need a "program". Just shop from the perimeter of the store and get up and move. Fresh low-carb produce, meat, cheese, eggs, and milk.
Not too sure how this is BAD ADVICE!? I have been diabetic for over 12 years and I have been on carnivore since January 8th 2024. I am no longer on insulin and I have lost over 55 pounds!! How does that seem to bad? The ADA suggestion for food would ensure I am always diabetic! Moderation, right? If we could do that we wouldn’t be talking now! When the food pyramid came out ant people went low fat the heart disease went up!! I have been so sick for so long! I will never go back!
I'm currently suffering from eczema, after two years of painful experimentation the only things I can safely eat are a specific type of dairy, eggs and meat. I've tried and I keep trying to introduce other foods without success. I would have never found out about this without the carnivore / animal based doctors. Oh and btw. I didn't even notice how bad I was feeling overall with my digestion, joints and backpains before I stopped eating vegetables.
I can only go by my experience since there is so much bad information out there. My doctor put me on statins and it turned me into a zombie. I couldn’t focus and couldn’t get any work done. I thought I was having a heart attack. Spent a lot of money on tests to find out that my heart is fine. Stopped taking all the meds they gave me and all of the bad symptoms went away. I was still over weight and sluggish. Doctor told me I was pre diabetic. Tried giving me Metformin. gave me horrible stomach issues. All this happened while trying to “eat good” and I exercise frequently. Eat only chicken breast and salads and my cholesterol got worse. I was feeling so bad I said what the hell I’ll just eat meat for a while. I lost 20lbs the first month. Slept like a baby. I had so much energy I worked 30 days in a row. I felt 20 again (I’m 60). I’m down 30 lbs now and my blood sugar went from 130 to 100. I FEEL GREAT AND I DON’T CARE IF IT SHORTENS MY LIFE. we’ll see if it does. I’d rather feel good and have energy than be sluggish and a couch slug…
I just cannot bear this guy. Insulting people instead of presenting a solid fact based argument shows he has doubt in his own words. He needs to be a bit more humble.
People use strong and agressive language to compensate the lack of facts arguments based on ... Well known manipulating process ..Used every single day by media and politics, to promote some unsustainable reasonments ... thanks Dr Westman for enlighting this point .
Most fruits and vegetables didn't exist 25,000 yrs ago in the form we have today. We simply didn't eat that many plants in our past... plus, they are seasonal, which means they weren't around to eat anyway!!
I was on "healthy keto" for 4 years. I believe the oxalates from the greens I ate caused my arthritis in my hands and back. I switched to the carnivore diet now for 3 weeks. Now, I can snap my fingers with no pain. That pain I have on my back is gone. I know that the arthritis is with me forever, but at least the pain it caused before is gone. And my gum disease is all fixed. Amazing!

When your arguments are low quality your only option is to prevent others from speaking.
Exactly
He also quoted 7th Day Adventist's studies. They are against meat so what does he expect?
Pretty much. Unfortunately the USDA has so much power medical school lecturers have to teach eat grains and avoid saturated fats to medical students, and doctors not giving these official dietary guidelines will not be covered by insurance if sued.
I can't find any research Dr. Fuhrman has done on the carnivore diet at all.
He sells LOTS of plant-based products, including books he has written, & SUPPLEMENTS! There's your money shot there! Big bucks in supplements ay?
So what supplements do carnivores need? I've started taking daily electrolytes actually since yesterday, to see if that will help with finger & toe cramps. Trying to drink more water too. I hate liver & kidney, but I can cop paté alright spread on some well cooked meat! I'm feeling fine a few weeks in. But I don't think I need any supplements!
I've not been the perfect carnivore every single day, but 96% of the time I am! Maybe more accurately I should call myself a ketovore? And if I err it's like a teaspoon of raw sugar in my coffee at a friend's house, instead of my stevia.
I eat eggs, bacon, maan I love bacon! A lot of beef mince or ground beef, lamb, pork chops sometimes. Those big ole ribeye steaks look yummo, but are a bit expensive. I should splurge one day & buy one. I'd probly marinate it & bake it. I've gotta have my meat fully cooked right through with zero blood or pink, or I can't eat it. Ew! Even burnt a bit is ok. Up to 6 eggs with meat mostly.
I use use onion & garlic a lot, & I throw in a small carrot in quite often. I also use peeled tomatoes & tomato paste. I make curries with coconut sometimes. They are the only veges I eat, & they seem ok; I really used them for years. There's oxalates in tomato paste & seeds, but it seems my system is ok with it. Maybe I may try removing all these for a bit, but I really like them for their flavours.
But Dr. Fuhrman should not be making such idiotic, inflammatory statements about the carnivore diet. He clearly has conflicts of interest since he SELLS the stuff he promotes.
I'll be open-minded, I'll accept people could be healthy on a considered, supplemented plant-based diet with no meat intake. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's the ONLY way to eat! According to Fuhrman, it is the only way. Meh, no.
Ancient & prehistoric humanoids were overwhelmingly carnivores according to research cited by Dr. Anthony Chaffee, using some kind of analysis on their teeth & bone. So I'm not gonna listen to anything this guy says at all. He's way too dismissive & one eyed, & his aggression pollutes my thinking, which I can do without. His plant-based diet my be ok, but he still has idiot ideas, which negate everything else.

Yep by the suger companies lol
Don't you know why red meat is responsible for nearly all colon or bowel cancer? It happens because the body can't break down red meat properly. So waste lodged in the colon and intestines. Especially in fools who don't eat enough fibre which is most Americans. Then over time it can putrify and go change the cells in that area of the body. And thats when these cancers start. Dairy causes alot of PROSTATE cancer.

I've been CARNIVORE for over 4 years. I eat one meal a day most days. I'm 74 years old. I wore glasses at 42 years old. I don't wear glasses any more. My PTSD has diminished greatly. My leg used to ache. It doesn't hurt anymore. I sleep deep. My inner peace has increased. This doctor may be right. I wouldn't change my diet even if it kills me. I feel to peaceful and I have no pain. I'll stay on this plan until I die. I wish Dr. Furman well.
Same oppinion, i rather choose a well functioning life than a prelonged miserable condition.
you are good because you are eating OMAD. Even if you throw in garbage the body will have adequate time to clear that out.
most of the goodness you are deriving from your food is from your limited intake & not due to it being carnivore. The same carnivore diet if you eat 5-6 times a day then your body will start to give troubles. Having said all these , I must also mention that this is my hunch from my continuous experiment with food & learnings from experts & simple logic.
@@utubevenky Clearly you haven’t tried Keto, IF, or Carnivore. It’s not about Calories - WHAT you eat matters - even when. I eat as much protein of various types as I want, eating until I’m “comfortably stuffed” as Dr. Ken Berry puts it, and I’m never hungry or feel the deprivation of other previous diets.
Bravo! That’s wonderful
HARDCORE CARNIVORE. 👍
Those people that I follow re carnivore have not only reduced their weight, gotten rid of skin problems, diabetes, inflammation but also look years younger. This guy is THE PROBLEM.
I do notice too when I stay carnivore and don't eat anything with fibers or with strange ingredients (I still like processed meats from time to time) I break out. The meats I get are gluten and soy free but they do have a few other things that might be bothering me.
I couldn't sustain Furhman's plans for long. Also, vegan eating damaged my teeth and caused osteoporosis, weakened muscles and 30 lb. weight gain.
He sure doesn’t look that young or healthy! I hope he sees the light, for his, and his family’s sake!
He actually looks like he NEEDS to try carnivore
Yes carnivore anecdotal claims is science .💪

Sure, but a bagel? That fits into the ultra-processed refined category. Fuhrman wouldn't encourage you to eat that. Neither would Dr. Westman. FYI: my husband is reversing diabetes on a low fat whole food plant based diet. I never thought it would be possible, but his A-1c results tell the story.

And margarine was healthy and butter was bad? And there is both good and bad cholesterol even though there is only one single molecule in different packaging? And cholesterol causes heart disease? And cancer is caused by genetic mutations? I am convinced that allopathic medicine is more superstition than science. They weed out independent thinkers in the admissions process, leading to the hive mind we see today.

@@hugoanderkiviyep. Sadly these Vegan influencers have been ramping up their lies recently. Is it coincidentally after the WEF and Bill Gates have started pushing the banning of meat and animal products blaming them on the hoax of ‘man-made’ climate change, which has nothing to do with methane or CO2, is a natural cycle, and isn’t an emergency ? I guess they fund these Vegan influencers and groups to ramp things up to brainwash the public. It’s all about controlling the food supply and making people sick and then reducing populations, making money on medications treating the sick and malnourished, and also so Bill can sell his fake ‘meat’ and fake lab ‘eggs’ which will cause cancers and malnourished and cause other harm to the public. I asked a producer of a top Vegan documentary where the biggest funding came to make the documentary, and he said they wanted to be anonymous. I asked if billionaire philanthropists were involved and he said yes but couldn’t give names. I told him he didn’t need to tell he any more 😉
Carnivore saved my life literally. I suffered from congestive heart failure, diabetes, arthritis, declining cognitive functions, acid reflux, and several other symptoms. Within months, I was off all medications and feeling great again. To think 7 years ago, if I had continued to follow what the American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, and others that are similar, I would have been dead now for over 6 years.
Wow. Save the congestive heart failure, you are me. I do have a problematic valve and my doctor told me it is normal for oldies... only it isn't normal for a person with familiar story of strokes and heart attacks. She told me to diet, which means eat more veggies.

My first husband was on a strict VEGAN diet for nearly two years. Friends and family kept asking if he was undergoing chemo because he got so skinny. Then he lost feeling in his extremities and had to see a neurologist. They thought he had multiple sclerosis. He luckily started reading a cookbook that referred to Weston Price. He finally started eating meat again and got weekly B-12 shots and reversed his severe malnutrition from his Vegan diet. Scary!! I have to admit that he did go to Dr. Joel Fuhrman in Flemington, NJ and he really believed in him. It almost killed him!
So glad he woke up and got out of that death trap. It's criminal what Fuhrman and others are suggesting with veganism. What they teach is not backed on any research or proof, and they are liars.
The vast majority of the 43 million food borne illnesses and 5000 deaths in the US each year are in non vegans and caused by animal products or animal based contamination. So what if one moron can’t put together a healthy plant based diet. Tens of thousands of plant-based individuals do just fine over decades of living. 🤔
For health reasons I went total vegetarian, vegan, raw foods, for over five years. However, for me, things went from bad to worse. The turning point was when, after a blood panel, my doctor told me to reduce my red meat intake and exercise more. Well, if being a vegan and hiker wasn’t enough, then what was the use? I introduced meat back into my diet, reduced the sugars and carbs and wouldn’t you know it, everything started getting better. My next blood panel proved I was on the right track. The doctor then had to admit she was doing the same thing and that’s why she was already off three of her four meds (she was twenty years younger than me), and loosing weight, too. I’m 73 and do not need any medications.
I know a group of vegans same. Long term emaciation. Women almost looking mummified in their 60's & the men were quite bloated in the face. They were very strict seventh day Adventist and into Ellen White's healthy eating model.
Friend and I followed Furhman for years. Lost weight and energy and was miserable the whole time. The friend looked skeletal and got cancer despite the promises. Sure if it works for you great but I don't buy it anymore.
28:02: “Nice to see Dr. Fuhrman on a video, not in person again.”
Savage, I love it 🤣🤣
With hindsight, I can honestly say that over my lifetime (pushing 7 decades), doctors have caused me far more harm than good. The lack of integrity in the health care system that became blatantly obvious in the spring of 2020 is what began my search for answers that eventually led me to carnivore. Lo and behold, a number of conditions that I had accepted as "age-related" and wasn't even focused on just happened to resolve themselves -- so thankful that I wasn't steered away by the so-called "experts." I'd rather have ten more years feeling as well as I do now than thirty more years being miserable like I was before carnivore. That said, I fully anticipate a longer and far healthier life ahead of me than I did three years ago.
Same here, western medicine and medical doctors have also caused me more harm than good, in the long run. I'm still recovering from an iatrogenic illness caused by a medication prescribed by my doctor. So much suffering from side effects and other consequences, it nearly took my life, twice. I no longer visit a doctor unless I absolutely have to, and then I take what they say with a grain of salt and do my own research before following their advice or taking their pills. The last time I took an anti-biotic it cured my gum infection, but a whole string of other negative effects flowed on from the imbalance caused by the pills, causing all kinds of issues which lasted months. I should have let my infection heal by itself, which is what I usually do. Safely back on a meat based keto diet now, and feeling better already.
Well of course they have! Law of Attraction in action!
I found most doctors just want you the hell out of their office. Got symptoms? Here take some pills that do... something. Get out. They dont actually care about the people they are "treating". Not all ofc, there are some good ones out there but they are rare.
That's literally what lead me to just start this way of life. I already was against artificial sugars colors and flavors but then I started doing more research into plants and all of the vegetable oils and they are basically poisons for us.
I had a copy of Fuhrman’s book “Eat to Live” and ate a high vegetable, low fat meat diet for many years. I maintained my weight around 165 and thought I was doing pretty well. (Edit 1/13/24: I gained in 2018 and started Keto @ 173) Then I tried Keto in January 2019. I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and felt satiated! Then I continued to lose and by August had lost 40 pounds! PAINLESSLY, btw.
In January 2022, having maintained my loss, I went more fatty meat and much less veggies - I lost another 15 pounds in two months and now maintain THAT ever since.
Oh yeah, and I feel amazing and virtually never crave Carbs!
I threw out my Fuhrman book…😉

@@doobybro1207 You do you I guess. I can't stand the thought of eating whale only because of its endangered status, not so much that I think it would be gross. I'm actually pretty brave when it comes to trying new food.
Whenever someone says, "The Science Says", red flags go up in my mind.
Furry-man is a fearmonger. I've proved it in my own life that Atkins, keto, and carnivore have given me the best quality of life when I have adopted these ways. We all must take responsibility for our own healthy existence in this world. I am nearing 70 yrs. old...
👏👏😊
I followed Dr. Furman's diet for a few years. Got fat and sick and addicted. Now I'm ketovore and slim and healthy. No more carb cravings.
If u got fat and sick then you were not following it sorry. No one gets fat on a Nutritarian diet. It's virtually impossible
You are simply lying.There’s absolutely no change you get fat on his diet ‘as a matter of fact you lose 3 pounds of fat every week if you are fat to begin with
One of you two are a liar, which one?
@@alleyoop5185 do you’re own research
@alleyoop5185 I'm neither vegan or keto so I say Helen is lying because Fuhrman is far from being fat.
Dr. Westman you are such a gentleman! My blood was boiling listening to Dr. F but you gave calm clear rebuttals!
Yeah, Dr. F is an arrogant a-hole.

I really like and respect Dr Westman because he’s respectful, informative, interesting, backs up his statements, and comes across as a genuinely nice person. All the traits that Dr Fuhrman should learn.
Exactly! The contrast between the two in respect and approach here in this short video alone is incredible!
"All the traits that Dr Fuhrman should learn."
That's very hard being a vegan. Sadly this pseudo-diet affects the brain in a very negative manner...
Wow that guy on the podcast is scary! Thank you for a dose of reality. Your humble and honest information on the studies is very refreshing. Thank you!
It shows you how radical many of these vegan activists are. They continue to up the anti in their rhetoric against keto and carnivore diets. When they are losing the argument, they become more hostile.
Follow the money!!
True.
@@ianstuart5660Animal Ag , yes .
Veganism is a religion, not a diet. Some call it a cult.
@@ianstuart5660for this doctor it may be more about his political beliefs in the animals rights activism and climate change theory than metabolic health.
I had married friends who were both practicing a macrobiotic diet. The husband very nearly died because of the diet. So maybe Fuhrman is the one who belongs in jail (as long as he is acting as a judge).
I was 240 pounds I did carnivore for a year I'm down to 192. I look great and feel great and I'm ripped this guy should be put in jail.
Thanks Dr. Westman! I started carnivore 4 weeks ago and have lost 24 lbs, my blood pressure is back to normal and I’m sleeping so much better. Also exercising regularity too.
Your research is so appreciated!!!
Sadly you'll also probably get bowel cancer too - it's the exercise and less calories that makes you feel better - not eating just dead burned animal carcasses

I am a retired nurse. In the height of the low fat scam, 2 of my coworkers started a low fat diet. They lost weight, lost their hair, skin looked like leather, was always broke buying the low fat 'foods'. They lost weight. Stopped the diet, gained all weight and some. Their hair did not come back. Skin still looked horrible. I also worked with vegan, vegetarians, same look. I went on Atkins over 20 years ago. Controlling my weight, lots of energy, working circles around these people. Now on carnivore and still doing great!!! Lots more to this story but to want to jail people for being healthy is totally ridiculous! I have a right to pursue happiness in this country and WHO DOES THIS DOCTOR THINK HE IS!!! He should measure his words carefully.
I'm an RN too, never bought into the low fat scam-replaced it with sugar, what did people think would happen? Always figured natural foods, butter, eggs, meat and real vegs was the best. Never agreed with Statin use either, turns out I'm right on that too.
The people calling for jail for those with different dietary advice are wanna be tyrants and should absolutely be ignored and shunned.
This could be my story too, started in the 90's, slowly transitioned to carnivore. Best health ever at age 74.
@@mariesullivan317 😁aww. HARDCORE CARNIVORE.
@@jerimiahbrown9629 nice one lad 👍 HARDCORE CARNIVORE..
I had followed a careful, clean vegetarian diet to try to lose weight & get healthier. I got worse. Still believing in plant-based nutrition, I went raw. Developed a ton of food allergies and still lost no weight. Went back to an omnivore diet. Began eliminating foods that were causing allergic reactions & ended up carnivore. Lost over 30 lbs quite quickly, felt great, pain mostly eliminated.
Eventually, I added some veggies back in to my diet and very quickly gained back the weight (and more) and pain & inflammation is back.
Thank you Dr. Westman for your thoughtful response to Dr. Fuhrman's idiotic assertions. I started Keto a few years ago; lost over 50 lbs., got off blood pressure and acid reflux medications; i am no longer prediabetic; joints do not hurt much; my kidney dr. does not want to see me any more; my hdl is high, triglicerides low; but my physician still wants me to go on cholestoral meds because my LDL is "high". I ate lots of animal fats and yet lost fat. I have gone off "the diet wagon" eating pastries and ice cream recently and immediately gained fat on my body and had to go back to size 12 pants from size 12, and L from M tops (before going keto i wore size 18 and XL clothes). Next month i shall be 82 yrs. old. My goal is to be healthy when i die. So more carnivore and fewer vegetables from now on.
It's the pastries and icecream that are killing you, not the vegetables.
your ignorance supports your desired goals
Cool goal, keep it up. It feels good to be healthy.
Yep, I agree, that's a wonderful goal! I have not heard it stated that way before.
There's something quite deep about wanting to pass away healthy as opposed to giving in to some factors that can be somewhat controlled.
Wonderful mindset, and here's to wishing you another 10+ years of health (maybe a Centenarian even!)
I lost over 100lbs and cleared a partial blockage from my heart within a year of doing carnivore and my cardiologist also said they no longer wanted to see me anymore. Didn’t even test my LDL, just saw the weight loss and the cleared blockage on an EKG and said to come back if what brought me to the Cardio came back!
On a fundamental level, he shows up vibe-wise as a person who has a core animosity against just being at peace.
Indeed.
Agreed a very prickly individual
Mark Bell: asks a question about the micronutrient content of animal products.
Dude goes on a side tangent about broccoli completely avoiding the question.
Pretty huge red flag early on
If you have more than average muscle mass your risk of death decreases 200%. Furman should do something about that sarcopenia.
- not to mention that cerebropenia!
Dr Furhman has arms like pretzels and he has that anaemic skin colour that most plant based people have.
I would also expect that he has chronic elevated cortisol levels.
He looks as most vegans look: unhealthy.
I think he should look for his hairline.😂
Your patience and tolerance for outright lies and stupidity is admirable.
I totally agree, kudos to Dr. Westman for listening to "Dr." Furman's drivel.
Imagine being a doctor who has made themselves willingly ignorant by having contempt for something before investigating it.
Harriet Hall, a founder of Science-Based Medicine, a website owned and operated by the New England Skeptical Society, reviewed Fuhrman's Nutritarian diet and commented that he tends to incorrectly assume association studies show causation and that his diet has not been tested in controlled trials. Hall stated that "Fuhrman makes extraordinary claims for the Nutritarian diet, but extraordinary claims must be supported by extraordinary evidence, and the evidence he presents is far from compelling."
I ended up with two cardiac stents trying to follow Dr. Fuhrman’s diet. Maybe he should go to jail
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Did you get regular bloodwork done? Were you actually on top of your risk factors? Did you hear Dr. Fuhrman say that his diet would guarantee no cardiovascular events? Correlation does not equal causation.
How about the doctors promoting toxic pharmaceutical prescriptions/vaccines?
🦗🦗
I wonder how this doctor would explain the success of the thousands of people doing carnivore diet and becoming a lot healthier, almost miraculous recoveries in health. I believe regular people more than scientist/doctors, they're the reason we are in the shape we are in. Trust the science they say....at your own peril.
I am a carnivore, and my health has never been better. All, yes all my issues that I had are now resolved. So he should be rewarded not jailed.
Find long term vegans and long term carnivores and make up your own mind.
And check who is stronger... in Mexico the southerners eat more veggies and the northerners eat more meat... guess who is taller?!.
don't need to i can see in my own life what the keto/carnivore diet has done for me i was sick and dying eating vegan and now i am losing weight and fixing my health
And about 80% of vegans end up quitting for health reasons.😀
No need, those vegans who keep to it will eventually eat themselves to death😂
@@chriswhitehouse8982Of course they do. You simply cannot get all the nutrients you need on a Vegan diet. Not without supplements at least.
30 ish years ago I started on the Atkins diet to fight debilitating Migraines, I worked the week I started 100% low carb. I remember Dr Atkins saying high animal Fat is fine if you don’t add in carbohydrates. I agree and I’m a healthy 76 year old and metabolically right.
My cardiologist was shocked at the improvements in my blood profile when I was 6 months on Keto. Since then I have gone to carnivore and my blood glucose has even gotten better. He told me to keep doing what I am doing since my profile looks so good.
"Mr Know it All" starts with the theory that Meat and Fish dont have Micronutrients. When countered that Liver is the most micro-nutrient dense food he shifts to Phytonutrients. Doesnt answer the question😂
@@anand45671 thats how zealots do
These hosts were so patient and polite and brought up very poignant arguments. They seemed a lot more sane than the doc. This makes me want to follow them! Thank you Dr. Westman for doing these videos where you dissect them point by point. I trust you because you know the nuances of how research is done and you actually have experience in it. It makes finding a doc I can trust really difficult....
During menopause 5 years ago, I was desperately seeking relief through diet and nutrition. I chose Dr Furmans woe. My symptoms worsened to the point that I couldn’t sleep and my anxiety level upped to a full blown panic disorder. When I finally added meat back into my diet and limited fruits and vegetables, almost immediately my symptoms stopped, I was able to sleep and my anxiety went away. I now eat a balanced low carb diet with intermittent fasting 16/8 and I’m feeling so much better and healthier at the age of 56.
That doctor said TWO things ABSOLUTELY CORRECT at 7:10 "The amount of Ignorance is INCREDIBLE. And the amount of FALSE INFORMATION given out to people is really QUITE DISTURBING."!!!!
This is soooo infuriating and hysterical at the same time. That man is simply ridiculous. 🤦♀️
According to a 2021 study most medical doctors have taken an average of 11 hours of nutrition classes by the time they get their phd. Your regular doctor is taught and learns to treat symptoms NOT how to get at the root cause of the problem. I have literally met one doctor in my life that said hey we need to look at your diet and referred me to a nutritionalist. That was 38 pounds ago.
Never a truer statement made.
Well done.
Medical doctors don't get a phd, they get an M.D. They will only get a PhD if they actually do doctoral studies afterwards.
1 week on carnivore My feet have stopped hurting And no craving Was scared at first But i'm getting reassurant from all your's testimony
Being on low carb has opened my eyes to much more than what I eat. It's opened my eyes to everything else they're trying to feed us!😉

@@defeqel6537 That's true but the color of their skin is remarkably different. Dr Westman has glowing pink skin, the other dude's skin looks a little on the gray side
Westman has a great hairline.
I'm starting my eighth week of Full Carnivore. I did my research with Anthony Chaffee MD, yourself, and other doctors and made the decision to do it cold turkey. My first visit to my local GP came with warnings about the need for carbs and that there was a risk to my health. I gave the Doc a few of the links for him to follow up on his own research. After seven weeks I have lost 17 Kilos in weight, I have a lot more energy, and when my blood work came back it had my GP scratching his head. I was Obese with Pre Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and my cholesterol, prior to my starting this new lifestyle, was high for the first time in my 57 years. \
Now, everything is in the normal range, and I mean everything. My GP wants to wait another three months to run another range of blood tests, but, according to the current data, if it continues, as it is today, he wants to remove me from my blood pressure medication. Such an incredible change in only seven weeks, with sooo many more years ahead of me.
My husband lowered his junky carbs n occasional beer, went off low dose bp meds in 4 weeks. He's never going back. 😊❤
Oh my this sounds just like my story! 🙌🏼
Why bother going back to your Dr?
Best news I've heard all day. I'm going carnivore
@@gta-6837 I promise you won’t regret it!! 🥩🧈🥓🍳💪🏼
Don't worry Dr. Westman. We fully support you and other doctors supporting keto and low carbs diet. As Alice Hoffman said: "Once you know some things, you can't unknow them. It's a burden that can never be given away."
You have helped a lot of people including myself to reverse my type 2 diabetes, borderline high cholesterol, hypertension, severe fatty liver, auto-immune disease, among others without the help of any big pharma, big corporate medicines who are in the business of not really making sure people are healthy but in the business of taking advantage of the people in enriching their lives and businesses. Kudos to all of you, Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Jason Fung, Dra. Rojo, and all the medical doctors and people who supported keto and LC and risking their careers and professions just to tell the truth and expose these evils and lies about our health. We will always include you in our prayers. May God bless all of you and your families!
Anyone who states that a person should be jailed for how they choose to eat is not mentally stable!
Exactly, the carnivore influencers should be put in reeducation centers. Putting them in jail would be crazy.
Shut up @@MusicByJC
@@Neightlive I think he was being sarcastic
Good point. Either he really believes it’s dangerous or his own business is threatened by the different eating ideas
Re eduction😂
Well, Dr Fuhrman must fight for his position. He has staked his career, his intellect, his reputation, and his multimillion $ empire on the WFPB diet. He is pugilistic even with other plant doctors who vary slightly from his way. So he has put all his eggs (no pun intended) in this basket. He’s not about to just come out and say “oops, maybe there’s something to this carnivore/keto w.o.e.”
Exactly! Dr Fuhrman is never on the information sharing level, he's always on the defencive here, really attacking back (yet I never heard any initial attack to start him off!).
Like a company director defending a crowdfunded startup that's been ran into the ground! lol
I'd love to watch a debate with Dr Fuhrman and Dr Ken Berry
Yep.
Bingo.
In my work in public health there was a belief that laws should be written to make doctors practice in the same way. If they did not, it was assumed someone had to be wrong. The idea of best practice implies someone (who?) decides what is best?Dr. Westman has helped me understand there are more ways to heal and be heathy than one👍. Different strokes for different folks‼️. I used to think doctor shopping was bad. Now I know it is in your best interest.
IMO, people like Dr. Furman who make outrageous statements about people who disagree with him, and who presume that their knowledge is complete and authoritative should be ignored.
ummmmm....everything he said is completely true. And your proof it isnt? I am waiting.
@@quiropracticoecuador1 the burden of proof is on Mr. Furman.
I have been on a carnivore diet for over 4 months , and i am beyond impressed by what it has done for me .
I think that along as people experience overall improvement in health there is no basis for punishing anyone for promoting. Well, generally speaking words should not be prohibited.
As soon as I heard the word Adventist in the same sentence as advice for good nutrition.I knew all nutritional facts would be lost. Thanks again Dr Westman another great video.
Did you see Mark Squirm when the Dr. said a BAGEL was the same as a CHICKEN BREAST?? LOL
Sounded like the biggest load of 💩💩💩
I am new to this channel and think I am going to learn a lot. Who were the guys that were interviewing Dr. Fuhrman? I would be interested in hearing more of their interviews.
Furman looks like a perfectly healthy 96 year old. Good thing he found the fountain of youth in vegetables 😄
from the comments, it appears he sells some kind of vegan program and we have no way of knowing if he practices what he preaches.
I had a quadruple bypass in 2019 and my doctor told me has no trouble with me eating eggs and he is doing intimate fasting him self
So funny @DillaryHuff 😂
How old is he really ?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I was looking at his receding hairline and Westman.
70 years old. Banished carbs and sugar from my diet 7 weeks ago after being told I am pre diabetic with hypertension.
Weight then 89.9 kgs now down to 78.6 Kgs. BMI now in the healthy green zone. Blood pressure normalised. Medication for blood pressure condemned to the bin. People comment how well I look. I save money on my food bill which is now less than 40 bucks a week. Was double that prior to my new diet.
Here is what I NOW eat every week.
3 tins of Sardines with bones and skin in spring water.
Lambs liver ( I add a spoon of curry paste) for flavour
Pork Belly ( cut thinly and cooked like bacon)
1 kg Ground Beef 20% fat content
Chicken wings or chicken thighs.
1kg chuck steak (slow cook 3 hours)
18 eggs.
Butter.
The only problem I have is my wife who like the doctor who is against carnivores believe my new diet will kill me. We will see.
Strange how may cardiologist recommended to me that i reduce carb intake, i then responded that i was on a Keto diet and had been for some time. His response "Great, stay on it". I have lost over 60lb. I think that has increased my lifespan. I plan to shead another 20 to 30lb.
It was actually through Fuhrman that I came to keto and carnivore. I had been battling weight gain and health issues after several decades of a (high fiber btw) vegetarian/vegan diet. I had been following Fuhrman and one day recalled his personal story of fasting himself back to health as a young athlete who had been injured. I thought "I'll try fasting!". It seemed to help and then... lo and behold I found Dr Jason Fung's work. THAT was the door that changed my life completely! Thank you Dr. Fuhrman.
why not thank you Dr. Jason Fung’s?
@@Elijah8890it was sarcasm
Dr. Westman, you a legend. Keep going. Respect the way you present.
Great video Dr Eric 💚👏
This doctor sounds like Fauci! I like how Dr Westman is laughing 😂
I’m a healthy 70-year-old ketovore going on 4 years, now. When people (mostly plant based dieters) criticize my lifestyle, I bring up something that they find hard to refute. One of the most famous vegetarians was Linda McCartney. She became a vegetarian in 1975 at age 34 and died of breast cancer, sadly, in 1998 at the young age of 56. I would ask Dr. Fuhrman to explain why.
He would say that she did it wrong 😄 LoL. Like she ate beans before the broccoli instead of the other way around
As to why... he may say that it just depends. Linda McCartney was a smoker (marijuana) and maybe there are other risk factors she had. He may also say that another famous vegetarian just died last month at the age of 99- Bob Barker of the Price is Right. So who knows.
That is really reaching far...there are many reasons a person can develop cancer. Linda McCartney was also a talented photographer for over thirty years. Darkroom chemicals could have played a significant role in her cancer, but none of us will ever really know.
@@missyperry9510 Nobody is saying that vegan diet caused the cancer, they are saying it didn't prevent it.
@@nickbardan3867 Ok, all anecdotal, just like Tammy Peterson's carnivore diet didn't prevent her kidney cancer.
Wow, they must really be scared of people getting healthy.
Thank you Dr Westman for trying to put things right.
What you have to keep in mind is eating a high animal diet mixed with carbohydrates has a very different effect from eating a high animal diet without the carbohydrates. Most epidemiological studies won’t include or designate a low carb or ketogenic group. In fact a pure carnivore diet is relatively recent development in modern society. There are more nutrients in a piece of meat than in any plant.
The best thing I've heard was Dr. Ken Berry. He said you don't need "a diet", you don't need to buy a book, you don't need a "program". Just shop from the perimeter of the store and get up and move.
Fresh low-carb produce, meat, cheese, eggs, and milk.
Not too sure how this is BAD ADVICE!? I have been diabetic for over 12 years and I have been on carnivore since January 8th 2024. I am no longer on insulin and I have lost over 55 pounds!! How does that seem to bad? The ADA suggestion for food would ensure I am always diabetic! Moderation, right? If we could do that we wouldn’t be talking now! When the food pyramid came out ant people went low fat the heart disease went up!! I have been so sick for so long! I will never go back!
I'm currently suffering from eczema, after two years of painful experimentation the only things I can safely eat are a specific type of dairy, eggs and meat. I've tried and I keep trying to introduce other foods without success. I would have never found out about this without the carnivore / animal based doctors. Oh and btw. I didn't even notice how bad I was feeling overall with my digestion, joints and backpains before I stopped eating vegetables.
I can only go by my experience since there is so much bad information out there. My doctor put me on statins and it turned me into a zombie. I couldn’t focus and couldn’t get any work done. I thought I was having a heart attack. Spent a lot of money on tests to find out that my heart is fine. Stopped taking all the meds they gave me and all of the bad symptoms went away. I was still over weight and sluggish. Doctor told me I was pre diabetic. Tried giving me Metformin. gave me horrible stomach issues. All this happened while trying to “eat good” and I exercise frequently. Eat only chicken breast and salads and my cholesterol got worse. I was feeling so bad I said what the hell I’ll just eat meat for a while. I lost 20lbs the first month. Slept like a baby. I had so much energy I worked 30 days in a row. I felt 20 again (I’m 60). I’m down 30 lbs now and my blood sugar went from 130 to 100. I FEEL GREAT AND I DON’T CARE IF IT SHORTENS MY LIFE. we’ll see if it does. I’d rather feel good and have energy than be sluggish and a couch slug…
Eric I really enjoy your approach to the keto family. Thanks for your support.
I just cannot bear this guy. Insulting people instead of presenting a solid fact based argument shows he has doubt in his own words. He needs to be a bit more humble.
People use strong and agressive language to compensate the lack of facts arguments based on ... Well known manipulating process ..Used every single day by media and politics, to promote some unsustainable reasonments ... thanks Dr Westman for enlighting this point .
My a1c is down 2 points in 3 months. My blood work was great. Im losing inches not alot of weight. My dr is happy.
Most fruits and vegetables didn't exist 25,000 yrs ago in the form we have today. We simply didn't eat that many plants in our past... plus, they are seasonal, which means they weren't around to eat anyway!!
I was on "healthy keto" for 4 years. I believe the oxalates from the greens I ate caused my arthritis in my hands and back. I switched to the carnivore diet now for 3 weeks. Now, I can snap my fingers with no pain. That pain I have on my back is gone. I know that the arthritis is with me forever, but at least the pain it caused before is gone. And my gum disease is all fixed. Amazing!
