Amanda Carlson so true. When I’m hungry the only thing I crave is a good tender juicy medium rare steak with pink salt. I still enjoy all other animal foods, but nothing calms my hunger (a real and legit one cuz I do 22/2 OMAD mostly recently) down like a good solid steak... and once I’m full, I’m done eating like DONE and not wanting to touch even one more bite of that steak if I happened to have any leftover. OMAD also fixed my snacking habit.
First of all I want to say I agree. I believe that the 3 meals a day had a lot to do with back in the day we worked the fields, even worked hard in factories and even being a housewife used to be labor intensive. Whatever you do on a normal day (excluding working out) Your grandparents burned more calories than you do. Then take into account what we actually eat only multiplies the problems.
I've been eating a carnivore diet for 3 years now and have never been leaner and healthier in my life. I don't give a sh*t what anyone says, do what works for you and makes you feel the best you can. I'll never go back from carnivore.
From my experience and known dozens and dozens of people, coworkers, family, felatives, friends, .... keto and carnivore fail in 2% of the time. For the rest they work.
Too many who promote Keto are elitists in that they claim to really do Keto right you should eat grass fed beef, free range chickens and eggs, organic this, that, and everything else. Well, I'm retired and poor and I'm doing Keto the best I can, not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. So far I'm doing well even though I am on food stamps and also depend upon a food pantry as well. But with the current pandemic we are living in a time where regular people who struggle to make ends meet and to pay their living expenses have a difficult time in just getting food to eat much less paying a premium for Keto food. The honest truth is that a ketogenic diet, a ketogenic way of living really is elite in that only people, even poor people like me, who live in wealthy western nations can afford to even attempt it. Because a world of 7.8 Billion people cannot support a great percentage of its population eating a Keto diet simply because not enough meat can be raised unless it is grain fed and factory raised. Neither can enough organic crops be raised to feed the world. So I hope that as we go on our Keto journey that we can appreciate that we truly are part of the elite even if we are poor in wealthy countries.
@@JLH63 I've seen that video. Dr. Berry is not one of the elitists to which I referred, claiming you can do keto even with meat from the Dollar Store. I've done well on keto for a year & a half just doing it the best I can, far from perfect.
I've been on 20 net carbs for 5 Yrs. I'm in great health and will always eat this way. Lost 50 lbs and have never gained any back. Never felt better. Walk 2 to 4 miles a day. I'm 72:. 73 in 3 months. I'm mostly carnivore.
@Barb Tullos - There are no carbs in meat. So your “I eat 20 net carbs on a carnivore diet” is not possible. “Keto-vore” maybe. A Carnivore way of eating is a 100% meat diet WOE. (Way of Eating)
It’s true! I’m 67 years old; ran 8 miles early this morning; haven’t eaten since 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon......I’m still not hungry yet.......after a lifetime of yo yo dieting & sugar addiction I feel like I’ve been transplanted into a different body......it’s quite weird!
Your cortisol must stay high all the time and your confusing that with energy. It will take a toll on your body and cause severe consequences. You will run into a wall, the body needs sugar to lower cortisol. Look up high sugar high carb low fat diet.
I had to leave all the keto forums. They're replete with attempts to make keto versions of the crap they ate before. You gotta break the addiction to sweet. Meat & vegetables.
@@frankhenschel4008 On vegan forums there are oceans of people also replicating the food they ate before, such as sausages but vegan or even better "vegan eggs". But answering your question about low-carb vegan - it works terrifying, to be honest.
Several people I know attempted keto/carnivore after seeing me lose 70 lbs in 4 months. The biggest mistake I saw that resulted in their failure was they got all excited about their "keto" recipes for "keto" pizza and "keto" cupcakes and "keto" fried chicken. Every single person I know who tried to hang on to their old eating habits with these stupid keto recipes failed miserably.
Yes. 4 years for me of losing 100 lbs & keeping it off. Many have tried to follow & failed. Most can't make it over that 1st week of breaking the addiction. So much of it is mindset.
Vlad I think you’re right- once you’re ‘really’ on the keto diet doing it right -you don’t want those crutch keto foods that are being promoted- and I do think there is a place for them at the beginning when you’re training yourself- some people need them and it’s better than falling off altogether as long as you’re understanding what you’re doing. Your goal should be shooting for the cleanest keto and intermittent fasting that you can live with and eventually your body falls into that without ever missing the other things- ever. But because we still live in America with everyone else eating the standard American diet and there are still birthday parties and celebrations going on around us- there’s a mentality that doesn’t change over night and to think it will is just not being honest or realistic. Therefore, bringing our thoughts inline as this doctor is saying, rewiring ourselves AS we are retraining our bodies to adapt to the new way of eating and the new lifestyle that will be one I can live with- comes with a few down moments that helps to have a keto cupcake once in a blue moon. And yes, you will stay on it.
Day 33 on carnivore way of eating. I am female, 76 years old and only needed to lose 15 pounds. Mostly wanted to get relief from inflamation. I am so relieved to hear that I don't need to force myself to eat 1-2 pounds of meat each day and that I can start trusting my body's signals. Give it the premium fuel and just keep going.
I've been very successful and have no problem with eating this way for the rest of my life. I did intermittent fasting and now one meal a day. I'm not hungry, my life doesn't revolve around food, and I feel great! No sugar (something I never thought was possible) and few carbs but now I walk down the cookie aisle at the store and it all just looks inedible to me. I don't want it. This is very cool.
Have you heard of fasting/the snake diet? I used to do one meal a day (OMAD.), and fasting definetly helped me with weight loss. OMAD gave me some.mixed results.
“Raised to eat preemptively” - what a great way to put it. My nephew came to live with me some months ago. He only eats if he is hungry. Often it means he won’t eat dinner or breakfast. It was an eye opening experience to realize my 5’6” over 50 body is taking in more food than his 6’2” mid thirties body.
Efficiency of energy. We don’t celebrate instincts and intuitive behaviour anymore, it’s all gotta be backed by science, before it’s real. It’s taking common sense, and individual needs out of our sight.
I’ve NEVER been a breakfast eater. Even as a child. Frequently I didn’t eat lunch either. I’ve learned to listen to my body. The thing is,I can go from “ehhh,I’m not hungry” to “OMG I’m starving and I’m gonna die if I don’t eat NOW!” in a nano second. Must be genetic because my grandson was always like this. I’ve learned to be sure there’s something healthy in the fridge I can scarf down when that feeling hits. I’ve lost 30 lbs in 4 months. I don’t miss the carbs or sugar like I thought I would. I hope I can eat like this the rest of my life.
I’ve been eating low carb for six years. Off so many medications, no gout, weight down, health up. I look and feel better than I ever have in my 58 years on this planet.
Christa Wild I stick with the 20 or less total a day . Total carbs, not net. I’ve been mostly carnivore for about a year. I’ve achieved the best health with the lowest carbs. I’m not a purist however. Lol! I drink coffee and eat cheese. I will use a little bit of tomato sauce in my cooking sometimes just for variety. That’s my big “splurge”. Lol. Every once in a while, I’ll eat a small salad. It’s working for me. Thank you for asking.
@@MsTony1402 the less you eat the better. If you have cravings for sweets or crunchy chips.. breads.. Its best to stay away from all triggers. I saw the words "what can i get away with" and thats the exact thing dr cywes is talking about. You need to focus on your addiction and why you're doing it. Im a bi g eater and i stay away from the things i want the most and feel my best for it. Dont forget salts x3!! 🙏
AllyD That’s fantastic! My cholesterol went down 20 points when I went mostly carnivore. I’m having a big round of bloodwork in July (new patient work up) Looking forward to the great results!Thank you for sharing this!
I think that’s what people don’t realize is so mind blowing with this- young people that are in their 20’s or whatever that can exercise up the ying Yang - well that’s all great for them but if you’re stuck in bed and can’t move- and already don’t eat very much and STILL can’t lose weight then discovered this- it’s life changing!
Thank you! I really needed to hear this. I’ve been doing keto, per my doctor’s order to lower my A1c, for two months. I get along now on so little food that I was really worried. No more breakfasts of egg, bacon, potatoes, & biscuits, all of it smothered in country gravy. Two rashers of bacon & an egg completely satisfy me. And breakfast might be at 8am or maybe noon. I’m nearly 80, and it’s difficult to change a lifetime of habits. I still have mom’s voice in my head saying “you’re not leaving this house until you have a good breakfast.” I’m learning to listen to my body. And I feel great. Keto must be doing me good because for the first time in my life, I’m eczema free.
"Click bait," thought this was going to be a keto / carnivore bashing. Agree 100% with the content. Started OMAD 1-1/2 years ago, could not imagine eating more than twice a day max. In addition, fasting for several days at a time does wonders for the mind and body. Thanks Dr. Cywes.
Agree. Ive been doing carnivore/keto for only a month. I have lost 25lbs, and want to lose 20 more. I do omad most days. Sometimes i might eat a couple eggs or a cup of olives if i need a little xtra. Eating more than twice a day now seems crazy
I've been on Carnivore Diet for a month and I am rarely hungry now. I eat when I am, but I only eat a fraction of what I did before. I've lost 30 pounds and my pain is almost gone. (I have MS and had constant excruciating pain.). The weight loss is great, but the pain being almost nonexistent and being able to move much easier is the catalyst that is keeping me going. I barely ate yesterday bc I wasn't hungry and was busy all day. At 2am I woke up and was "starving". 😂 I got a piece of cold chicken out of the fridge and stood in the kitchen eating it like a thief.
I am a 67 y/o female starting late in life on carnivore and loving it. I wish I had known sooner that vegetarian wasn't working on my inflamation. I am feeling better and hopefully living longer. Good luck to all of you on this journey.
I've been on the carnivore diet for 3.5 months. My type 2 diabetes is completely resolved without medication. Same with my high blood pressure. I was able to stop both medications. I have lost 32 lb. I feel so much healthier. My success I believe is due to keeping it simple. I don't buy quote unquote keto foods or try carnivore or keto recipes. I keep my diet very pure and simple. Beef, chicken, pork, fish, butter, some cheese, eggs.
After beginning to eat carnivore I realised how much I really enjoyed preparing and eating meats. The taste of things roasted, broths, the taste of fat rather than sugar which eventually becomes what you crave. I also realised how much I really never liked or needed vegetables and that the only reason I ever put them on the plate is a mix of social pressure and ‘because’ from people like your mum and teachers. Now I eat only carnivore and ever anxiety, worry, stress and depression I have felt for 20 years simply isn’t there anymore. When I add vegetables I don’t enjoy them, and I get bloated, or constipated, or just a feeling of lethargy and lack of drive.
Yes! I "burn" ("burnt ends" style) the fatty parts of my steaks separate from the lean parts I cook rare-medium-rare. That fat tastes sweeter than sugar to me. Almost makes me want to eat nothing but that kind of fat - that's how good it tastes. --- PS there are a few vegetables/fruits I still love and eat but they are only in season for a short time -- "homegrown ripe" sweet corn and tomatoes (and occasional watermelon). Only place I can get these suitably ripe are at farmer's markets and even then have to be choosey because of some being picked too early or not having been grown in good soil.
Lol!!! 13 years on Keto, started before it had any attention in the media. Never going back to any diet that makes you chase your tail. It’s truly not a diet but a way of life. I enjoy real tastes of food that most don’t taste due to high intake of sugar. My whole family thought I was crazy but let anyone think what they want, my health and stable moods equals happiness is way more important than anyone’s opinion based on utter ignorance.
I am 29. Hyperinsulmia/PCOS and eat solely animal based. when I realized that I didn't have to worry about eating enough anymore is when it got easier. I thought I had to eat a lot, but my body truly does tell me what it needs. This is a brilliant video. Thank you! Getting out of the mindset of it's such and such o'clock so I *have* to eat was the difficult part. Once I stopped seeing food as pleasure, but as fuel/medicine my whole life changed. I can't wait to see what this body can do after years of eating a proper human diet!
I’m 28. Been doing low carb and intermittent fasting for 4 years now. My PCOS is gone! Used to get cycles once a year. Now I get regular cycles and am pregnant with my second child in that time.
Same. After I lost 50 pounds in the first year, Intermittent Fasting is just a way of life for me. I actually managed to get rid of my pre-diabetic + fatty liver condition and now, I'm sitting on 13% body fat at 32 years old. I wasn't even near that ratio when I was a teenager lol.
@@Peopleofthesun386 Yes, hair loss is a thing on EVERY diet that helps you lose weight. Google hair loss and bariatric surgery, for example. The difference with carnivore/keto is when the hair grows back it is better than before.
Absolutely agree that Keto is not a diet but a lifestyle for longevity and top health. Myself I've been doing keto for about a month now but I understood early and tell people that you should not do keto only for few months or a year to achieve your goal, but implement it into your life. Why would you work so hard for a year to achieve your goal and become finally healthy, just to come back to the point before you started doing keto.
Keto carnivore unfortunately is kind of a bandaid solution. When you go back to your normal lifestyle or even try to eat a few carbs, you will realize that there has been no cure. This is the sad reality and I wish it wasn’t so. I do keto but it feels like prison because I can never cheat
Getting off keto doesn't mean going bad to eating like shit. You can perfectly eat carbs and be healthy, tons of people do. I've been keto for 4 months now and I've reached my goal weight but I don't want to do it anymore. I like fruits, bread and other carbs too much to live without them for the rest of my life, it doesn't mean that I'm going back to eating whatever I want whenever I want. I'll still track calories, macros and exercise regularly while eating whole foods. Keto is a great diet, but it's not the only one.
Christian Lee Sometimes when I’m eating a BBQ’d burger topped with multiple cheeses , bacon and a fried egg while losing weight I wonder why would I cheat? Yesterday I BBQ’d a ribeye. There is a lot of delicious keto friendly foods. They may not all be the healthiest but you can get a little crazy without breaking keto. That said I’ve been keto for years but every 4 to 6 weeks I have a carb refeed day because I don’t want to be so far removed from carbs that I can’t eat them. But when I do this I’m not eating simple sugars and deserts. I’ll eat potatoes and rice and beans... but not an all you can eat buffet level. Even when I do this and go to the gym later the next morning I’m still usually still in ketosis. If I’m not in ketosis that morning than I will be be the next morning. If I were to eat sugary refined carbs then I’ll start craving them again. They are addictive.
I am low carb/ keto and sometimes carnivore.. and I fast 16 hours and eat in the other 8 hours... this lifestyle suits me best and I eat when hungry and drink when thirsty.. as simple as that.
Same here, certainly the most natural flow of living and eating! Always hated breakfast, never got any + effects from veggies Doctors can talk propaganda all they want, more and more people are realizing that vegetarian diets are b*llshit, fasting is good and medication often doesn't work
Yeah I love the simplicity of this diet combined with intermediate fasting and the metabolic flexibility that comes with it. The individual can decide for them self how far they want to take it. In my case, I am more of an obsessed inflammation fanatic, who wants to remove all unnecessary inflammatory foods and lifestyles in my life and diet to increase longevity to the extreme (as much as possible.) Because in the end it is inflammation that causes all of the diseases and changes in the body as we grow up and evolve and die, it is all controlled by inflammation as a signaling factor. My goal is to control it and direct it to a direction that optimizes longevity, vitality, and health. And keto vegan/Mediterranian keto is the most anti-inflammatory foods known to man thus far. So that essentially means going for that kind of keto while focusing on fasting, exercise, and meditation with the strategic intake of carbs like at the end of an intensive workout and fasting period to optimize muscle growth and recovery with cold showers. Essentially I am focusing to boost human growth hormones and BDNF, by using all the tools/strategies "in the book" that I can find.
@@DanielPembrink Don't forget oxygen uptake. Search for 1931 cancer research. The guy got a nobel prize in his findings that cancer and oxygen rich environments cannot co-exist. So the deepdivers techniques, Wim Hof, and biking/walking with oxygenmasks or breathwork do wonders for reducing inflammation. I myself had severe skin issues at one time, on my hands, went with it 6 months and almost lost my job. Doctors gave cortisone, which did nothing. Did a modified form of intense breathwork +10 hours that week, completely healed. (Vitamin A was the last addition that truly freed me from this horrible experience). 6 months! No one told me anything of the effectiveness of this, I had to google on studies on micro-biology, skin repair and cell energy circulation, in combination with indian yogi breath exercises. That worked! Not our shitty western medicine. Ok. Kudos and gl!
@@broadbandtogod indeed, I am also using wimhoff breathing method. cancer cells can also be starved out by fasting and ketogenic/LCHF lifestyle. Cancer cells rely on glucose metabolism and higher insulin levels. while the rest of the body are more capable to adapt to a triglyceride and ketone energy metabolism. Hence cancer dying out over time, especially when combined with traditional radiation and chemotherapy. Apparantelly fasting and keto adapted body can also deal with 9-11 times more radiation treatment dosage frequency than a glucose based metabolism.
This doctor sure knows his stuff! Unlike many others who only promote big pharma and drugs and the standard food pyramid that keeps society sick! Well done doc! Much respect!
When you become carnivore, you soon learn that your BODY will decide when you should eat. I eat only breakfast (at about 10 am!) and supper at around 8 at night. That's it. If you "level off" when trying to lose weight, add more fat and eat internal organs. I eat heart, liver and tongue at least twice a week and I polish off around 8 kilos (around 17 and a half pounds) of animal (mainly beef) fat, cooked with my meat, per month. I also have three eggs every day, cooked in fat with cheddar cheese every other day and a bit of bacon - maybe a half pound per month. I have been eating this way for over four years now and at age 71, I take no medications for anything, simply because I have no conditions that require the intervention of medications. You should listen to your body not only to tell you WHEN to eat, but WHAT to eat. It will almost immediately cause indigestion, cramps, stomach upsets, bloat, excess gas and a host of other symptoms (that most people think are normal!) when you eat foods that do not agree with it. Find what these food are and keep them out of your mouth. You CANNOT overeat as a carnivore, if you are getting enough fat. Your brain is primed to tell you to stop when you have enough fat in your system. I NEVER dish up more than I can eat because I know exactly how much my body and brain need. My wife is still omnivore, so she adds her veggies and carbs to her plate. Mine contains only meat and fried fat. As she has never liked the taste of eggs, my wife only consumes them in her baked confections. I may have a taste - about a teaspoon - of her confections or fruits from our garden, but no more than that: they taste weird now, so I don't crave them. Your body knows what is good for you and each of our regimens is as unique as our faces and fingerprints: there is no "one size fits all" diet: it's a case of "every man for himself".
Same here. My relationship with food changed completely. I stuff myself with keto food once a day to satisfaction. No thinking how much I need and it all works. I used to have a completely deranged carbo diet and suffered from many problems for years. Now my BP is the lowest in 20 years, I am fit at 54 and I swim in saturated fat and cholesterol. LOL
@Jerry Grauert I do not only NOT require veg or fruit: my body rebels when I eat them, so I am also not on a keto diet: I eat ONLY animal products, poultry, eggs, cheese and a bit of fish now and then. As I said in my original post, I eat a lot of fat with ALL my meals. I am fortunate in that I have access to venison, at about a quarter of the price of beef, lamb or pork. The venison is ALWAYS available as farmers shoot and kill a variety of problem animals which are legal to hunt out-of-season.
@@oneyaker Way to go! However, see what happens when you go full carnivore. Try it for a month and if that works out for you, try for longer. You might just discover that you don't need any plant matter, as I did. You may do even better. Cholesterol is part of the body's repair system, but most doctors won't tell you this: they do NOT want your body to be able to repair itself, as that would take a very large chunk of money out of their pockets.
@Jerry Grauert The veg is almost certainly the cause of the splatters: your body is trying to get rid of what it thinks is detrimental as quickly as possible. The solid logs are products of the meat and fat input. I have discovered that I don't have to go to the toilet as often as I did when I ate plants. In fact, I sometimes only go only once in three days, because my body is wringing every last bit of nutrient out of the food. Then I drop one, single, solid "bomb" and that's it. Using paper to wipe up is a waste of time and money, as there is no mess. The fibre in the plant material is the culprit when you "spray-paint" the toilet bowl.
" very few people need more than 2meals a day." So true!! I started at 2 but last 4 months....OMAD and I am NEVER hungry. When I was carb addicted I was hungry ALL the time and I are 3 meals a day plus snacks as that is what ADA recommend ed. Got sicker and sicker. Healthiest I've been in 20 yrs with wt that just keeps dropping off.
If only this lifestyle information could be taught to young adults who are beginning to make there own food choices. Trouble is that there is no money to be made by eating this way so it is not promoted by media or advertising.
To be completely honest, I wanted to hate this video when I saw the title. I said to myself "here's another healthcare professional about to shatter my success and tell me I'm wrong". Then, this video! Doctor, thank you for reaffirming I'm following the right path. I have been doing what you're recommending here and the results are spectacular. I've been doing it without couching and because it just feels right. I've lost weight, I'm out of danger of type 2 diabetes, my liver, kidney and brain health is better. I no longer need a C pap machine to help me sleep and I have a clarity of metal processing I've not had in decades! Yet, my doctor's PA tells me I'm making a mistake and to get off Keto. If this is the wrong way to feel I surely do not want to feel "right". Thank you!
I have gradually progressed from paleo to ketogenic to ketovore to carnivore. The switch to carnivore was so effortless, I expected carb cravings and such but had very very little of that. The only problem I did have was some bowel problems and after a month that seems to be resolving slowly. It is very difficult to give up the macros/calories counting after so long on keto. I am learning to listen to my hunger signals but they are very irregular and unpredictable which makes it difficult to plan my day. Sometimes I do eat 3 meals a day but other days only one meal. There is so much advice out there it is hard to know what to do. Currently I have people telling me to only eat beef but I enjoy other meats immensely. In the last 3 days I've had beef steaks, pork belly, chicken thighs, steelhead trout, oysters, shrimp and eggs. I feel great. Why should I only eat beef?
I think people who say to just eat beef do so because it’s easy. You can buy a whole rib roast and slice off a ribeye when you’re hungry. I’m with you, eat all kinds of meat and load all of them with healthy fat.
I've been carnivore for a little over two years and had a carnivore coach for a short time. I would text her pictures of my meals and she would tell me I wasn't eating enough. Even with that way of eating according to Dr. Cywes I was still eating to much. I am now really listening to my body and do not eat if I'm not hungry. I'm so grateful for the consultation that I've had with Dr. Cywes. It's not cheap but it is money well spent.
Doctors now agree that Inflammation is the primary cause of Cardiovascular issues. Insulin seems to be the bandit. Every time you eat, especially carbohydrates, raises insulin.
Hey, recently found you from Ken B. Gotta say, I'm absolutely hooked. I've been struggling not only with my eating habits for years, but also other substance abuse too. Your videos are my bridge. Thanks
Work on your Emotional Toolbox. When Stressed, have a short list of things you can "do" to work through it. I was right there with my toolbox being: Snacking and Cobwebs. Slowly building up a few more things. Including meditation for 5-15 minutes!
These are some good tips. Once I changed my relationship with food from eating for pleasure to eat for fuel, my entire body composition changed for the better. I've been a strict carnivore for 8 months and never felt better.
I’m 10 days into my realisation that carbs are sugar and therefore poison. I’m not even really tempted to go back to bread and other sugars - I’m SCARED OF THEM.
Apparently living on mostly coconuts, avocados and olives, plus supplementing. It's said to be really hard, but not impossible. I accept that it's "possible" simply to get the vegans off my back. We're not telling them to eat meat-we're telling them to limit carbs.
@@CarbageMan Ok, but super limiting in many vitamins and minerals. Also, when a person is eating only few foods over and over, there's a huge chance that s/he will develop a food intolerance for that food.
Good grief ...comments on here. People make healthy eating SO complicated and following keto substitute keeps your mindset on living to eat, rather than eating to live. Just cut out ALL processed food, all sugar. Carbs less than 20g are the only carbs and they should be from veggies. Protein from living animals/fish. Never count "macros". Eat OMAD for sustenance. I have lost 45 lbs in 5 months, reversed my T2D, brought my triglycerides back to normal and for first time in 20 yrs, my labs are perfect!
This is a fabulous video, and everything Dr. Cywes says here is correct. Moving to low carb & Keto, is rather like giving-up alcohol or drugs - the big leap is giving-up the associated lifestyle.
George Jordan check out ancestral supplements. Try some liver, brain , spleen , tallow , bone marrow. It saved my life. Brain fog has almost disappeared. Effortless energy throughout the day. Sleep like log at night. Almost a weird natural “high” throughout the day. Truly saved my life. I’m a new man. Now I eat bone marrow and liver raw!!
Unfortunate wording: "Why Keto and Carnivore Diets fail 98% of the Time." Implies 98% of attempts lead to failure. Should be something like "The reasons for 98% of keto and carnivore diet failures."
CM...your suggestion sounds grammatically clumsy to me. How about... "Why 98% of people fail on the Keto and Carnivore diet"? It was probably just a clickbait title. I'm curious where Dr C pulled the 98% from :-)
The problem is the eating culture that we live in. For example a Chinese culture of eating all the time, mostly carbs, fruit and vegetables. Thousands of years of this eating pattern. If you live alone it's easy to change but with a partner that doesn't agree or won't believe it you're going to have major conflicts with family over meals and foods. This is not just about changing your diet, it's a potential conflict with family and friendships.
Request for Dr Cywes: Please also post these lectures as a Podcast. It is much easier for us to listen to you while are walking or driving. Thanks for your efforts.
Great video. I eat when my body tells me to. Then, I eat a keto meal, 1 plate fills and satisfies me. 50 pounds down and been on maintenance for 3 months without any weight gain. Great advice Doc 👍
Hi Dr. Cywes! This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. Very nice! I hit the like button. I'm a carnivore. I've been eating carnivorously for almost 2 years now. I've lost 60 lbs.
I distinguish a difference between full and fed. I describe full, as when my stomach has reached capacity, yet I'm still hungry. And fed is when I've have the feeling of eating enough but my stomach is not at capacity. Before, I starting eating carnivorously, I had always felt full without feeling fed. I've never felt fed. Now that I eat carnivorously, I feel fed before feeling full. At the fed feeling, I push away my plate. What is left on my plate is food for another day. I call breakfast, to break your fast, as the first meal you eat after you have slept. If the first time you eat is at 4:30 pm, then you had breakfast at 4:30 in the afternoon. I've learned that what I eat for breakfast, whenever it is, will dictate the stability of my hunger and thirst for the rest of the day. A healthy, carbohydrate free, breakfast, (sunny side eggs fried in tallow or butter with a glass of water) keeps my hunger and thrust stable for the day. A poor breakfast, (cereal, oatmeal porridge, or toast with orange juice) messes up my hunger and thirst for the rest of the day. Fasting, that is, a good night’s sleep, resets this imbalance caused by a poor yesterday’s breakfast. The just of your presentation is that we are creatures of habit. And we still use the habits of how we ate before we learned that we are carnivores. We have to get more in tune with when our body’s is asking for food rather than when our culture is telling us to eat. I do not fast by the clock. If I’m not hungry, I do not eat; if I am hungry, I’ll eat. My mother cites a comment made by and aborigine of North America describing a man of European decent. “How strange! The white man needs a machine on his wrist to tell him when he is hungry.” Again, thank you for your enlightening insight.
I want to know about CARNIVORE-- don't give a rip about KETO--- my sis does keto and though she's lost some-- she's MISERABLE... totally miserable. I did CARNIVORE for over a year- and GAINED weight-- and felt crappy-- but discovered I was doing it WRONG... I've done it correctly the last week-- and it's Working great. BUT I want to know MORE about what makes the carnivore FAIL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am so tired of keto/carnivore experts telling me I need to eat more calories and more fat and more protein. Instinctive eating makes so much more sense to me. I've discovered that since I don't eat a lot, I need to stick to carnivore and not waste volume on veggies. I am doing so much better this way.
Most Americans don't go through each day feeling chronically thirsty. However, I bet over half are chronically dehydrated. I think there's something to be said about knowing that you may need something without your body necessarily signaling for it.
@ArcoZakus I think it's possible to present compelling evidence, but definitive proof would be quite challenging to provide. Studies would largely depend on the demographics of the sample. I'm open to hearing how you might try to prove it, one way or another, so long as we agree that the absence of evidence doesn't equate to evidence of absence.
Most of those so-called experts are in their 20s maybe 30s. Weight loss at that age is very easy. There are a few carnivore TH-camers who have metabolic disorders and despite their great losses of weight are still obese. This demonstrates how hard it is to get rid of all the fat for many of us.
My question is are men and women different as women should eat based on hormones. Men can get away with not eating. So, curious what your thoughts are on this! This would help me ❤
If I'd eat as much as I "want", (and zero carbs), I'd be undernourished. I can't have more than 120g meat or fish at once. Twice a day like that is not enough for a daily protein impact.
I have lost 28lbs so far on Keto, my Fibro and RA pain is better. I do intermittent fasting 16-20hrs a day. I eat once a day about 5 or 6pm. I’m never hungry and never feel deprived. 🥰
If you eat once a day at 5 or 6, your daily fast is a lot longer than 16-20 hours. Do you mean the only time you eat a complete meal is then? Do you eat small amounts before or after the meal? tx
I'm still on a Keto Diet ... not for weight loss, but for sugar control and inflammation. It's worked well for me. I rotate off of Keto for special occasions or just to have a break in the routine and to get access to necessary nutrient that I might be missing.
Madam_Meow99 I’m curious how that’s possible. I’ll eat a 1.5-2 pound ribeye and will have zero interest in eating anything for 24 hours. I also eat all that delicious fat on the end.
@@66gtb This, I have been doing Keto for a couple months and I'm struggling to eat even a 1000 calories a day, I just can't eat more. I'm over 6'2, male, I was probably on 3500 - 4000 calories a day before Keto.
I went through different waves of eating and just let my body do it’s thing. If I was hungry I ate but I tried to shave 15 mins off here and there to stretch the time out before eating- or I’d ask myself if I wanted to eat eggs (on keto) and if I couldn’t stomach them then I wasn’t really hungry- it was always my “true” hunger test. At the beginning I actually gained weight and was so mad reading all these testimonials of people losing tons of weight off the bat- but I stuck with it- I came to find out my body is an asshole- it took 3 months before it kicked in and so I’m very insulin resistant. But when I did, it’s very easy not to be hungry and I practice stretching the time out between meals. If I get hungry I drink water with lemon, pink salt and a little apple cider vinegar- then wait longer. I’ve gotten better and better. It’s just retraining yourself from years of eating a different way- but don’t fight your body- like the doctor said- don’t ever starve yourself- your body will automatically do this and it’s actually a calming feeling.
@@silvergirl7810 If keto isn't working for you, go full carnivore, but be sure to eat liver, heart, tongue and a lot of fat. The fat keeps you satiated for a very long time. For snacks, if you MUST have them, make some biltong www.mykitchen.co.za/favourites/home-made-biltong/ which you can eat with or without a handful of greaves (the solids left over from rendering suet or lard) with a little salt. That will keep you going for a long while!
Ok I have pcos and insulin resistance and I've been on keto 2 months with no real results so added intermittent fasting started with 16 and 8 for 3 weeks and still nothing. I added a blood ketone metre (kiss my keto metre) and went to 1 meal a today is only day 2. Yesterday my blood ketone at 3pm was 3.1 I at at 5:30pm and at 9pm 1.9. Today at 2:30pm it was 0.9 and at 6:30 before my meal 0.8 what is happening? I read fasting levels should be between 3 and 5 yesterday it was today it wasn't. Im trying to figure this out any input would be helpful
@@SFiz-b3f Saying what you CAN'T imagine is negative thinking. I'll bet you actually have a great imagination. So, see if you can imagine this: The body can use either carbohydrates or fat for energy. Over several weeks, I reduced my carbs from 200 grams per day, then 100 grams of carbs per day, then 50, 20, and finally 10. That forced my body to start "burning" fat for energy instead of carbs. As Dr. Ken Berry says, eat until you are comfortably stuffed, then don't eat again until you are hungry. I eat only one meal a day because I get hungry only once a day. This saves me a lot of time and money. And I feel better than I did before. Off all meds. Brain fog gone. Had to tighten my belt 4 notches, and finally get a smaller belt. All WITHOUT going hungry. I eat until I am comfortably stuffed. I don't deprive myself.
Good advice! If eating only 1 meal a day, or not eating for 24 hrs is not fasting, what is fasting? Diet is number 1, most important but exercise is very important for health and can help lose weight and very importantly build muscle.
Back in your childhood, you didnt have as many tricky foods, GMOs, fake meat, fake news, or billion dollar marketing strategies to spin health statistics on bad health products either. Gotta make a clean eating habit that's easy to stick to.
1) eating was near dinner table with no gadgets, news, TV and rush so we were chewing food long and propper :-)) 2) after food we were active outside not sitting in gadgets or TV 3) at 9pm we were going to sleep without gadget so woke up early and ready for active day 4) no nonstop news was trashing up our brains and spiking cortisol
: let your body tell you not your brain, that you are ful" powerful in it's simpel clearity...this knowledge is the proof of an understanding mind..... the path of wisdom....
I have never seen this channel before and the title of this episode seemed at first to indicate that it was an anti-keto channel. But I decided to watch anyway. I'm glad I did. Good advice.
Your title is misleading. You should change it. Reading your title gives me the idea that you are against Keto. I listened to you only so I could give you crap about being against Keto but found I agree with everything you've said and it jibes with what I've heard from other doctors. I've been on the Keto way of eating and intermittent fasting for a little over a year. I'm on Keto about half the week and carnivore the other half. I never eat before noon-3:00 pm. I also only count total carbs.
I have been eating Keto for over 1 year. I eat low carb because I am a type II diabetic. Keeping on this nourishment program has been easy and very satisfying for me. The statements made by this guy are just not true overall. People that have to diet in fact most often fail. They fail because they really do not want to change their eating habits, most of the time because they are addicted to the foods they eat. Either emotionally, or physically, like a sugar addiction. Eating Keto is actually much easier than trying to follow a low fat or low calorie meal plan. I do not count calories, I lost 75 pounds in 3 1/2 months easily, without cravings or having to cheat. I have not eaten over 20 grams of carbs in over a year, and I don't miss it.
This is the first really detailed explanation as to why I lost 25 lbs in the first 8 weeks of keto, nothing for the next 20 months, and then actually gained 10 lbs, despite being pretty faithful to eating keto foods only. Now that I actually have some reason to try hard again, I might finally be able to get the fat off.
I feel that your common sense and accurate information will not be very popular because there is no magic potion/pill solution for people to latch onto.
I just heard of this Carnivors diet last night which made me watch more videos regarding carnivor diet. This is very new to us and truly blewed my mind,felt excited at the same time to try it and cant wait to share this new diet that could save me from health issues and my family.😇🙏🏻 Thank you so much!✨💯 New subscriber from Manila,Philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Naka carnivore diet kami ng kapatid ko, ako mag dalawang taon na, yung kapatid ko 1 year. Siguro sumuko ka na kasi andaming handaan palagi na puro carbs hahaha
Click bait. These ways of eating work for so many people. They transform and enhance the body. Not like the old usual white coat and stethoscope eat Less and exercise more garbage.
Breakfast most important meal is propaganda created to sell processed breakfast food backed by the USDA and Kellogg's, among others. Follow the money!!
Thanks, this makes sense to me 18 months into keto and OMAD for 6 months. I've gotten the weight off but sense there is a way to fine tune the lifestyle and your suggestions about satiatity make perfect sense from my perspective. I'm going to slow done and pay more attention to my body's signals.
This is a MUST SEE Video! 👍 There are FAR TOO MANY Videos focusing on WHAT to EAT. I believe the 3 Meals a Day plus constant Snacking LIFESTYLE has contributed as much to the current Health Crisis as Junk Food.
what fails? Not here..... ( thought it was an anti-carnivore title,lol, quite the opposite, great stuff, new sub :) Less snacking, omad, interm. fasting, eat when u're really hungry. Eat nutricious and satiating, no matter how many calories and how big the portion or how much fat in the meal. The more fat the better if u wanna get/keep slim. Zero sugar and grains is the key. ciao !
For a few weeks I've been having some challenges, and this video was exactly the information I was looking for. I'm incorporating these ideas today and we'll see how it goes. Thanks.
are you still on Patrion? I guess I'll see if the money comes out this month. :) But would you rather have support some other way than Patrion? You're the only one i use it for.
Leeangela Koerber - Yeah, I lost 50 lbs, and have kinda plateaued there. I started around 250 and I’m down to 200, but I’m over six feet tall, so while I’m still a bit overweight, I’m a lot more comfortable now, much easier getting around, fewer aches, way less hunger, and I love the keto food choices. I still have beer-a couple a day ordinarily, before dinner. I think that’s holding me back some, but my doctor says I’m doing great. I might give up the beers for awhile, I’ve been drinking more regularly on keto than before, but it’s the one high carb thing I’ve allowed myself to have (used to give it up when calorie restricting and all the other insane things I’ve tried). Fasting and keto are the only things that enable me to have a normal weight.
Leeangela Koerber - I started with keto, then began IF by skipping breakfast, and not eating anything after dinner. Pretty easy, but not getting a snack at night is the hardest part. I just go to bed early sometimes instead, so I’m getting more sleep.
Brian P. I jus think I’ll b able to maintain my weight on the keto and fasting. At this point it’s been a year and a half and I’ve cut out so much and I’ve not got to my goal weight. Guess it’s back to the Drs for my tests. I won’t go back to the SAD bc of the same reasons, less aches amazing energy etc. wish me luck, hope u stay on the keto diet too!
One thing that is never talked about is social life. Your friends invite you over to their house for dinner. You get over their and nothing they have cooked is ketto. You say no i can't eat that. One the kinda take offence, two they probably won't invite you over again. Where im from everything is around food, and or beer. I think even my girlfriend is getting board because of the ketto diet. One more thing is sometimes life dictates when you eat. At work we go to lunch at 11:00.
I can't get over how after only three weeks on the diet I have very little appetite I am doing a 3-month trial of eggs and meat only and it is wonderfully boring And the meat and eggs are so nutrient dense that I don't need to eat anywhere near as much as I used to
Wow! Great advice! The first couple of minutes, I thought I was going to be bored, but I kept listening because the comments were interesting. I’m glad I did. New subscriber here. Thank you so much.
Dear Dr. Cywes! What you described in this presentation, I had to learn on my own. It took me a long time even to finally feel satiated after my meal. Now, I just wait till I feel 10 / 10 HUNGRY. Eat, enjoy my meal and feel satiated. Thank to all LCHF information, mostly carnivore and saturated fats! I used to envy those who could stop eating. For me first, I had to get rid of ALL CHO. Works like a charm!
I always ask myself, “am I hard boiled egg hungry”. If not I’m not really hungry.
That's a sad life😂😂
@@amandabarnard951 🤣😂🤣
Amanda Carlson so true. When I’m hungry the only thing I crave is a good tender juicy medium rare steak with pink salt. I still enjoy all other animal foods, but nothing calms my hunger (a real and legit one cuz I do 22/2 OMAD mostly recently) down like a good solid steak... and once I’m full, I’m done eating like DONE and not wanting to touch even one more bite of that steak if I happened to have any leftover. OMAD also fixed my snacking habit.
Yes....I'm rarely hungry...maybe once a day
On these damn antipsychotics I'm always "hard boiled egg hungry", haha! Then again I love eating boiled eggs.
First of all I want to say I agree. I believe that the 3 meals a day had a lot to do with back in the day we worked the fields, even worked hard in factories and even being a housewife used to be labor intensive. Whatever you do on a normal day (excluding working out) Your grandparents burned more calories than you do. Then take into account what we actually eat only multiplies the problems.
Good logic. Take the unnecessary guilt out and do what your body tells you.
Clara Bartha Terrible advice. My body tells me to eat cheeseburgers and pasta for every meal lol
Such a fantastic video - thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been eating a carnivore diet for 3 years now and have never been leaner and healthier in my life. I don't give a sh*t what anyone says, do what works for you and makes you feel the best you can. I'll never go back from carnivore.
From my experience and known dozens and dozens of people, coworkers, family, felatives, friends, .... keto and carnivore fail in 2% of the time. For the rest they work.
Too many who promote Keto are elitists in that they claim to really do Keto right you should eat grass fed beef, free range chickens and eggs, organic this, that, and everything else.
Well, I'm retired and poor and I'm doing Keto the best I can, not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. So far I'm doing well even though I am on food stamps and also depend upon a food pantry as well. But with the current pandemic we are living in a time where regular people who struggle to make ends meet and to pay their living expenses have a difficult time in just getting food to eat much less paying a premium for Keto food.
The honest truth is that a ketogenic diet, a ketogenic way of living really is elite in that only people, even poor people like me, who live in wealthy western nations can afford to even attempt it. Because a world of 7.8 Billion people cannot support a great percentage of its population eating a Keto diet simply because not enough meat can be raised unless it is grain fed and factory raised. Neither can enough organic crops be raised to feed the world.
So I hope that as we go on our Keto journey that we can appreciate that we truly are part of the elite even if we are poor in wealthy countries.
Dr Ken Berry says you can do keto/carnivore on a low budget, has a video about it
@@JLH63 I've seen that video. Dr. Berry is not one of the elitists to which I referred, claiming you can do keto even with meat from the Dollar Store. I've done well on keto for a year & a half just doing it the best I can, far from perfect.
What about long term fasting. is it not good.
Thanks Doc!!
THANK YOU .THE INFO.
I've been on 20 net carbs for 5 Yrs. I'm in great health and will always eat this way. Lost 50 lbs and have never gained any back. Never felt better. Walk 2 to 4 miles a day. I'm 72:. 73 in 3 months. I'm mostly carnivore.
So excellent Barb! As an ER nurse, you sure would stick out among all the other 73 year olds I see at work 😯In a good way ;)
Take your time i can wait.
Congratulations good for you! Jennifer 😂
@Barb Tullos - There are no carbs in meat. So your “I eat 20 net carbs on a carnivore diet” is not possible.
“Keto-vore” maybe.
A Carnivore way of eating is a 100% meat diet WOE. (Way of Eating)
You give me hope. Did well for 2 yrs but got on quest bars, stuck on sugar. Ugh. Sugar addiction is no joke.
It’s true! I’m 67 years old; ran 8 miles early this morning; haven’t eaten since 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon......I’m still not hungry yet.......after a lifetime of yo yo dieting & sugar addiction I feel like I’ve been transplanted into a different body......it’s quite weird!
Your cortisol must stay high all the time and your confusing that with energy. It will take a toll on your body and cause severe consequences. You will run into a wall, the body needs sugar to lower cortisol. Look up high sugar high carb low fat diet.
I had to leave all the keto forums. They're replete with attempts to make keto versions of the crap they ate before. You gotta break the addiction to sweet. Meat & vegetables.
Mimic foods. I'm off all those forums too. They're like food porn pages.
Totally agree!
Can't disagree with you as a vegan. Looks so weird and even obsessed a bit.
@@onionfedora3793 How does eating vegan without carbs work? Or rather how does Keto and Carnivore, the topic of the video, work as a vegan?
@@frankhenschel4008 On vegan forums there are oceans of people also replicating the food they ate before, such as sausages but vegan or even better "vegan eggs". But answering your question about low-carb vegan - it works terrifying, to be honest.
Several people I know attempted keto/carnivore after seeing me lose 70 lbs in 4 months. The biggest mistake I saw that resulted in their failure was they got all excited about their "keto" recipes for "keto" pizza and "keto" cupcakes and "keto" fried chicken. Every single person I know who tried to hang on to their old eating habits with these stupid keto recipes failed miserably.
ienjoyapples exactly right!
Yes. 4 years for me of losing 100 lbs & keeping it off. Many have tried to follow & failed. Most can't make it over that 1st week of breaking the addiction. So much of it is mindset.
It’s literally like vegans and vegetarians trying to eat fake meat products.
@Vlad I think you'll have a hard time sticking with the keto lifestyle long term and sustaining your weight loss.
Vlad I think you’re right- once you’re ‘really’ on the keto diet doing it right -you don’t want those crutch keto foods that are being promoted- and I do think there is a place for them at the beginning when you’re training yourself- some people need them and it’s better than falling off altogether as long as you’re understanding what you’re doing. Your goal should be shooting for the cleanest keto and intermittent fasting that you can live with and eventually your body falls into that without ever missing the other things- ever. But because we still live in America with everyone else eating the standard American diet and there are still birthday parties and celebrations going on around us- there’s a mentality that doesn’t change over night and to think it will is just not being honest or realistic. Therefore, bringing our thoughts inline as this doctor is saying, rewiring ourselves AS we are retraining our bodies to adapt to the new way of eating and the new lifestyle that will be one I can live with- comes with a few down moments that helps to have a keto cupcake once in a blue moon. And yes, you will stay on it.
Day 33 on carnivore way of eating. I am female, 76 years old and only needed to lose 15 pounds. Mostly wanted to get relief from inflamation. I am so relieved to hear that I don't need to force myself to eat 1-2 pounds of meat each day and that I can start trusting my body's signals. Give it the premium fuel and just keep going.
Great advice. Eating fatty meat meal has been my secret to avoid hunger. Love the "your liver provides your breakfast"
I've been very successful and have no problem with eating this way for the rest of my life. I did intermittent fasting and now one meal a day. I'm not hungry, my life doesn't revolve around food, and I feel great! No sugar (something I never thought was possible) and few carbs but now I walk down the cookie aisle at the store and it all just looks inedible to me. I don't want it. This is very cool.
Have you heard of fasting/the snake diet?
I used to do one meal a day (OMAD.), and fasting definetly helped me with weight loss. OMAD gave me some.mixed results.
I tried doing what you’re doing, but my trousers fell off
@@josephmoore7747 Where did it happen at?
Half way down the stairs, while carrying a lot of stuff. I had to buy a new belt !
@@josephmoore7747 😂 Sounds terrible.
“Raised to eat preemptively” - what a great way to put it. My nephew came to live with me some months ago. He only eats if he is hungry. Often it means he won’t eat dinner or breakfast. It was an eye opening experience to realize my 5’6” over 50 body is taking in more food than his 6’2” mid thirties body.
My daughter is like this
Yes it’s conditioning - 3 meals a day
I'm reminded of my former father-in-law that even if he ate breakfast at 11:30 he would eat lunch at noon. He was born during the great depression.
Efficiency of energy. We don’t celebrate instincts and intuitive behaviour anymore, it’s all gotta be backed by science, before it’s real. It’s taking common sense, and individual needs out of our sight.
I’ve NEVER been a breakfast eater. Even as a child. Frequently I didn’t eat lunch either. I’ve learned to listen to my body. The thing is,I can go from “ehhh,I’m not hungry” to “OMG I’m starving and I’m gonna die if I don’t eat NOW!” in a nano second. Must be genetic because my grandson was always like this. I’ve learned to be sure there’s something healthy in the fridge I can scarf down when that feeling hits. I’ve lost 30 lbs in 4 months. I don’t miss the carbs or sugar like I thought I would. I hope I can eat like this the rest of my life.
I’ve been eating low carb for six years. Off so many medications, no gout, weight down, health up. I look and feel better than I ever have in my 58 years on this planet.
Crystal Richburg how man carbs do you eat and how did you find your ideal carb limit?
Christa Wild I stick with the 20 or less total a day . Total carbs, not net. I’ve been mostly carnivore for about a year. I’ve achieved the best health with the lowest carbs. I’m not a purist however. Lol! I drink coffee and eat cheese. I will use a little bit of tomato sauce in my cooking sometimes just for variety. That’s my big “splurge”. Lol. Every once in a while, I’ll eat a small salad. It’s working for me. Thank you for asking.
@@MsTony1402 the less you eat the better. If you have cravings for sweets or crunchy chips.. breads.. Its best to stay away from all triggers. I saw the words "what can i get away with" and thats the exact thing dr cywes is talking about. You need to focus on your addiction and why you're doing it. Im a bi g eater and i stay away from the things i want the most and feel my best for it. Dont forget salts x3!! 🙏
Crystal Richburg I am on 3 yrs low carb now. Just had a full cholesterol panel in Feb and everything was perfect.
AllyD That’s fantastic! My cholesterol went down 20 points when I went mostly carnivore. I’m having a big round of bloodwork in July (new patient work up) Looking forward to the great results!Thank you for sharing this!
Combine intermittent fasting with keto. I'm disabled and list 90lbs & have kept it off for 2 years.
I think that’s what people don’t realize is so mind blowing with this- young people that are in their 20’s or whatever that can exercise up the ying Yang - well that’s all great for them but if you’re stuck in bed and can’t move- and already don’t eat very much and STILL can’t lose weight then discovered this- it’s life changing!
Great inspiration for me thankyou for your comment
Great inspiration for me as well! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️❤️
It’s unnatural for humans to b so heavy. We like our true forms 😅
Thank you! I really needed to hear this. I’ve been doing keto, per my doctor’s order to lower my A1c, for two months. I get along now on so little food that I was really worried. No more breakfasts of egg, bacon, potatoes, & biscuits, all of it smothered in country gravy. Two rashers of bacon & an egg completely satisfy me. And breakfast might be at 8am or maybe noon. I’m nearly 80, and it’s difficult to change a lifetime of habits. I still have mom’s voice in my head saying “you’re not leaving this house until you have a good breakfast.” I’m learning to listen to my body. And I feel great. Keto must be doing me good because for the first time in my life, I’m eczema free.
"Click bait," thought this was going to be a keto / carnivore bashing. Agree 100% with the content. Started OMAD 1-1/2 years ago, could not imagine eating more than twice a day max. In addition, fasting for several days at a time does wonders for the mind and body. Thanks Dr. Cywes.
I’m on keto and IF/OMAD. One of the best choices I’ve ever made. Meal time is also when I run all the Linux updates in my homelab :)
Agree. Ive been doing carnivore/keto for only a month. I have lost 25lbs, and want to lose 20 more. I do omad most days. Sometimes i might eat a couple eggs or a cup of olives if i need a little xtra. Eating more than twice a day now seems crazy
I've been on Carnivore Diet for a month and I am rarely hungry now. I eat when I am, but I only eat a fraction of what I did before. I've lost 30 pounds and my pain is almost gone. (I have MS and had constant excruciating pain.). The weight loss is great, but the pain being almost nonexistent and being able to move much easier is the catalyst that is keeping me going. I barely ate yesterday bc I wasn't hungry and was busy all day. At 2am I woke up and was "starving". 😂 I got a piece of cold chicken out of the fridge and stood in the kitchen eating it like a thief.
I am a 67 y/o female starting late in life on carnivore and loving it. I wish I had known sooner that vegetarian wasn't working on my inflamation. I am feeling better and hopefully living longer. Good luck to all of you on this journey.
Wonderful!
I started Carnivore too 👍
I'm the same age and have been on carnivore for 15 months. I feel so good - the mental clarity and joy increased so much with this lifestyle.
I've been on the carnivore diet for 3.5 months. My type 2 diabetes is completely resolved without medication. Same with my high blood pressure. I was able to stop both medications. I have lost 32 lb. I feel so much healthier. My success I believe is due to keeping it simple. I don't buy quote unquote keto foods or try carnivore or keto recipes. I keep my diet very pure and simple. Beef, chicken, pork, fish, butter, some cheese, eggs.
After beginning to eat carnivore I realised how much I really enjoyed preparing and eating meats. The taste of things roasted, broths, the taste of fat rather than sugar which eventually becomes what you crave. I also realised how much I really never liked or needed vegetables and that the only reason I ever put them on the plate is a mix of social pressure and ‘because’ from people like your mum and teachers. Now I eat only carnivore and ever anxiety, worry, stress and depression I have felt for 20 years simply isn’t there anymore. When I add vegetables I don’t enjoy them, and I get bloated, or constipated, or just a feeling of lethargy and lack of drive.
Yes!
I "burn" ("burnt ends" style) the fatty parts of my steaks separate from the lean parts I cook rare-medium-rare. That fat tastes sweeter than sugar to me. Almost makes me want to eat nothing but that kind of fat - that's how good it tastes.
---
PS there are a few vegetables/fruits I still love and eat but they are only in season for a short time --
"homegrown ripe" sweet corn and tomatoes (and occasional watermelon).
Only place I can get these suitably ripe are at farmer's markets and even then have to be choosey because of some being picked too early or not having been grown in good soil.
Lol!!! 13 years on Keto, started before it had any attention in the media. Never going back to any diet that makes you chase your tail. It’s truly not a diet but a way of life. I enjoy real tastes of food that most don’t taste due to high intake of sugar. My whole family thought I was crazy but let anyone think what they want, my health and stable moods equals happiness is way more important than anyone’s opinion based on utter ignorance.
I am 29. Hyperinsulmia/PCOS and eat solely animal based. when I realized that I didn't have to worry about eating enough anymore is when it got easier. I thought I had to eat a lot, but my body truly does tell me what it needs. This is a brilliant video. Thank you! Getting out of the mindset of it's such and such o'clock so I *have* to eat was the difficult part. Once I stopped seeing food as pleasure, but as fuel/medicine my whole life changed. I can't wait to see what this body can do after years of eating a proper human diet!
I’m 28. Been doing low carb and intermittent fasting for 4 years now. My PCOS is gone! Used to get cycles once a year. Now I get regular cycles and am pregnant with my second child in that time.
I been on Keto and intermittent fasting for two years. No going back, it's way better than the high carb routine, I had before.
Same.
After I lost 50 pounds in the first year, Intermittent Fasting is just a way of life for me. I actually managed to get rid of my pre-diabetic + fatty liver condition and now, I'm sitting on 13% body fat at 32 years old. I wasn't even near that ratio when I was a teenager lol.
Is hair loss a thing? While on keto
@@Peopleofthesun386 Yes, hair loss is a thing on EVERY diet that helps you lose weight. Google hair loss and bariatric surgery, for example. The difference with carnivore/keto is when the hair grows back it is better than before.
@@sportysbusiness Thanks man
I'm losing weight with fasting and no keto and not much exercise. Fasting frees me of the slavery of keto.
Absolutely agree that Keto is not a diet but a lifestyle for longevity and top health.
Myself I've been doing keto for about a month now but I understood early and tell people that you should not do keto only for few months or a year to achieve your goal, but implement it into your life. Why would you work so hard for a year to achieve your goal and become finally healthy, just to come back to the point before you started doing keto.
Periodd
Keto carnivore unfortunately is kind of a bandaid solution. When you go back to your normal lifestyle or even try to eat a few carbs, you will realize that there has been no cure. This is the sad reality and I wish it wasn’t so. I do keto but it feels like prison because I can never cheat
Getting off keto doesn't mean going bad to eating like shit. You can perfectly eat carbs and be healthy, tons of people do. I've been keto for 4 months now and I've reached my goal weight but I don't want to do it anymore.
I like fruits, bread and other carbs too much to live without them for the rest of my life, it doesn't mean that I'm going back to eating whatever I want whenever I want. I'll still track calories, macros and exercise regularly while eating whole foods.
Keto is a great diet, but it's not the only one.
Our ancestors weren’t vegans period!!
Christian Lee Sometimes when I’m eating a BBQ’d burger topped with multiple cheeses , bacon and a fried egg while losing weight I wonder why would I cheat?
Yesterday I BBQ’d a ribeye. There is a lot of delicious keto friendly foods. They may not all be the healthiest but you can get a little crazy without breaking keto.
That said I’ve been keto for years but every 4 to 6 weeks I have a carb refeed day because I don’t want to be so far removed from carbs that I can’t eat them. But when I do this I’m not eating simple sugars and deserts. I’ll eat potatoes and rice and beans... but not an all you can eat buffet level. Even when I do this and go to the gym later the next morning I’m still usually still in ketosis. If I’m not in ketosis that morning than I will be be the next morning.
If I were to eat sugary refined carbs then I’ll start craving them again. They are addictive.
The biggest difficulty is the social pressure, 1st of all from the family
Agreed!
I am low carb/ keto and sometimes carnivore.. and I fast 16 hours and eat in the other 8 hours... this lifestyle suits me best and I eat when hungry and drink when thirsty.. as simple as that.
flexairz -Sounds pretty close to me. Not changing at all...Good Luck
Same here, certainly the most natural flow of living and eating! Always hated breakfast, never got any + effects from veggies
Doctors can talk propaganda all they want, more and more people are realizing that vegetarian diets are b*llshit, fasting is good and medication often doesn't work
Yeah I love the simplicity of this diet combined with intermediate fasting and the metabolic flexibility that comes with it. The individual can decide for them self how far they want to take it.
In my case, I am more of an obsessed inflammation fanatic, who wants to remove all unnecessary inflammatory foods and lifestyles in my life and diet to increase longevity to the extreme (as much as possible.) Because in the end it is inflammation that causes all of the diseases and changes in the body as we grow up and evolve and die, it is all controlled by inflammation as a signaling factor. My goal is to control it and direct it to a direction that optimizes longevity, vitality, and health.
And keto vegan/Mediterranian keto is the most anti-inflammatory foods known to man thus far.
So that essentially means going for that kind of keto while focusing on fasting, exercise, and meditation with the strategic intake of carbs like at the end of an intensive workout and fasting period to optimize muscle growth and recovery with cold showers. Essentially I am focusing to boost human growth hormones and BDNF, by using all the tools/strategies "in the book" that I can find.
@@DanielPembrink Don't forget oxygen uptake. Search for 1931 cancer research. The guy got a nobel prize in his findings that cancer and oxygen rich environments cannot co-exist. So the deepdivers techniques, Wim Hof, and biking/walking with oxygenmasks or breathwork do wonders for reducing inflammation.
I myself had severe skin issues at one time, on my hands, went with it 6 months and almost lost my job. Doctors gave cortisone, which did nothing. Did a modified form of intense breathwork +10 hours that week, completely healed. (Vitamin A was the last addition that truly freed me from this horrible experience). 6 months! No one told me anything of the effectiveness of this, I had to google on studies on micro-biology, skin repair and cell energy circulation, in combination with indian yogi breath exercises. That worked! Not our shitty western medicine. Ok. Kudos and gl!
@@broadbandtogod indeed, I am also using wimhoff breathing method.
cancer cells can also be starved out by fasting and ketogenic/LCHF lifestyle. Cancer cells rely on glucose metabolism and higher insulin levels.
while the rest of the body are more capable to adapt to a triglyceride and ketone energy metabolism.
Hence cancer dying out over time, especially when combined with traditional radiation and chemotherapy. Apparantelly fasting and keto adapted body can also deal with 9-11 times more radiation treatment dosage frequency than a glucose based metabolism.
This doctor sure knows his stuff! Unlike many others who only promote big pharma and drugs and the standard food pyramid that keeps society sick! Well done doc! Much respect!
Finally someone dare to address how keto keep failing, for some people. Plus how to make it work again! Yeah kudos.
As an OMAD Carnivore this was melodic to my ears. Thanks Dr, eloquent video.
"Satiety of stretch and satiety of chemistry".
Spot on Dr. Cywes.
When you become carnivore, you soon learn that your BODY will decide when you should eat. I eat only breakfast (at about 10 am!) and supper at around 8 at night. That's it. If you "level off" when trying to lose weight, add more fat and eat internal organs. I eat heart, liver and tongue at least twice a week and I polish off around 8 kilos (around 17 and a half pounds) of animal (mainly beef) fat, cooked with my meat, per month. I also have three eggs every day, cooked in fat with cheddar cheese every other day and a bit of bacon - maybe a half pound per month. I have been eating this way for over four years now and at age 71, I take no medications for anything, simply because I have no conditions that require the intervention of medications.
You should listen to your body not only to tell you WHEN to eat, but WHAT to eat. It will almost immediately cause indigestion, cramps, stomach upsets, bloat, excess gas and a host of other symptoms (that most people think are normal!) when you eat foods that do not agree with it. Find what these food are and keep them out of your mouth.
You CANNOT overeat as a carnivore, if you are getting enough fat. Your brain is primed to tell you to stop when you have enough fat in your system. I NEVER dish up more than I can eat because I know exactly how much my body and brain need.
My wife is still omnivore, so she adds her veggies and carbs to her plate. Mine contains only meat and fried fat. As she has never liked the taste of eggs, my wife only consumes them in her baked confections. I may have a taste - about a teaspoon - of her confections or fruits from our garden, but no more than that: they taste weird now, so I don't crave them.
Your body knows what is good for you and each of our regimens is as unique as our faces and fingerprints: there is no "one size fits all" diet: it's a case of "every man for himself".
Same here. My relationship with food changed completely. I stuff myself with keto food once a day to satisfaction. No thinking how much I need and it all works. I used to have a completely deranged carbo diet and suffered from many problems for years. Now my BP is the lowest in 20 years, I am fit at 54 and I swim in saturated fat and cholesterol. LOL
@Jerry Grauert I do not only NOT require veg or fruit: my body rebels when I eat them, so I am also not on a keto diet: I eat ONLY animal products, poultry, eggs, cheese and a bit of fish now and then. As I said in my original post, I eat a lot of fat with ALL my meals. I am fortunate in that I have access to venison, at about a quarter of the price of beef, lamb or pork. The venison is ALWAYS available as farmers shoot and kill a variety of problem animals which are legal to hunt out-of-season.
@@oneyaker Way to go! However, see what happens when you go full carnivore. Try it for a month and if that works out for you, try for longer. You might just discover that you don't need any plant matter, as I did. You may do even better.
Cholesterol is part of the body's repair system, but most doctors won't tell you this: they do NOT want your body to be able to repair itself, as that would take a very large chunk of money out of their pockets.
Keith Taylor Hi I have just started doing exactly what you’re doing after being Keto, early days still, but I know I’ll be good
@Jerry Grauert The veg is almost certainly the cause of the splatters: your body is trying to get rid of what it thinks is detrimental as quickly as possible. The solid logs are products of the meat and fat input.
I have discovered that I don't have to go to the toilet as often as I did when I ate plants. In fact, I sometimes only go only once in three days, because my body is wringing every last bit of nutrient out of the food. Then I drop one, single, solid "bomb" and that's it. Using paper to wipe up is a waste of time and money, as there is no mess.
The fibre in the plant material is the culprit when you "spray-paint" the toilet bowl.
" very few people need more than 2meals a day." So true!! I started at 2 but last 4 months....OMAD and I am NEVER hungry. When I was carb addicted I was hungry ALL the time and I are 3 meals a day plus snacks as that is what ADA recommend ed. Got sicker and sicker. Healthiest I've been in 20 yrs with wt that just keeps dropping off.
If only this lifestyle information could be taught to young adults who are beginning to make there own food choices. Trouble is that there is no money to be made by eating this way so it is not promoted by media or advertising.
To be completely honest, I wanted to hate this video when I saw the title. I said to myself "here's another healthcare professional about to shatter my success and tell me I'm wrong". Then, this video! Doctor, thank you for reaffirming I'm following the right path. I have been doing what you're recommending here and the results are spectacular. I've been doing it without couching and because it just feels right. I've lost weight, I'm out of danger of type 2 diabetes, my liver, kidney and brain health is better. I no longer need a C pap machine to help me sleep and I have a clarity of metal processing I've not had in decades! Yet, my doctor's PA tells me I'm making a mistake and to get off Keto. If this is the wrong way to feel I surely do not want to feel "right". Thank you!
Dr, Cywes, I could listen to you as well as Dr Ken Berry all day if i had the time, just brilliant,😊💖thankyou for all of your videos,
I have gradually progressed from paleo to ketogenic to ketovore to carnivore. The switch to carnivore was so effortless, I expected carb cravings and such but had very very little of that. The only problem I did have was some bowel problems and after a month that seems to be resolving slowly. It is very difficult to give up the macros/calories counting after so long on keto. I am learning to listen to my hunger signals but they are very irregular and unpredictable which makes it difficult to plan my day. Sometimes I do eat 3 meals a day but other days only one meal. There is so much advice out there it is hard to know what to do. Currently I have people telling me to only eat beef but I enjoy other meats immensely. In the last 3 days I've had beef steaks, pork belly, chicken thighs, steelhead trout, oysters, shrimp and eggs. I feel great. Why should I only eat beef?
I think people who say to just eat beef do so because it’s easy. You can buy a whole rib roast and slice off a ribeye when you’re hungry. I’m with you, eat all kinds of meat and load all of them with healthy fat.
Because beef has almost every nutrient that your body needs, and especially beef liver
@@PeopleHealthTruso do most meats. Some countries don't even have cattle.
@@cincin4515 eat all the meat you want, but beef has the most nutrition
@@cincin4515 pork and shellfish was banned by God because the pigs eat garbage. Chicken doesn't have much nutrition compared to beef

I've been carnivore for a little over two years and had a carnivore coach for a short time. I would text her pictures of my meals and she would tell me I wasn't eating enough. Even with that way of eating according to Dr. Cywes I was still eating to much. I am now really listening to my body and do not eat if I'm not hungry. I'm so grateful for the consultation that I've had with Dr. Cywes. It's not cheap but it is money well spent.
Doctors now agree that Inflammation is the primary cause of Cardiovascular issues. Insulin seems to be the bandit. Every time you eat, especially carbohydrates, raises insulin.
Hey, recently found you from Ken B. Gotta say, I'm absolutely hooked. I've been struggling not only with my eating habits for years, but also other substance abuse too. Your videos are my bridge. Thanks
Work on your Emotional Toolbox. When Stressed, have a short list of things you can "do" to work through it. I was right there with my toolbox being: Snacking and Cobwebs.
Slowly building up a few more things. Including meditation for 5-15 minutes!
I have recognized my emotional eating as a form of substance abuse. Mood is Much more stable when ketogenic.
These are some good tips. Once I changed my relationship with food from eating for pleasure to eat for fuel, my entire body composition changed for the better. I've been a strict carnivore for 8 months and never felt better.
I’m 10 days into my realisation that carbs are sugar and therefore poison.
I’m not even really tempted to go back to bread and other sugars - I’m SCARED OF THEM.
And how exactly one can be a vegetarian without eating carbs? Vegetarian/vegan diet is a malnutrition diet and a very bad idea.
First clue is they have trouble conceiving. Vegetarian/vegan diet = birth control lol.
Apparently living on mostly coconuts, avocados and olives, plus supplementing. It's said to be really hard, but not impossible. I accept that it's "possible" simply to get the vegans off my back. We're not telling them to eat meat-we're telling them to limit carbs.
@@CarbageMan Ok, but super limiting in many vitamins and minerals. Also, when a person is eating only few foods over and over, there's a huge chance that s/he will develop a food intolerance for that food.
@@beautypsycho7139 No question it's a bad option. It is, however, practiced, and with better success than "normal" veganism.
@@CarbageMan I hope you're not eating that limiting diet. Are you?
Good grief ...comments on here. People make healthy eating SO complicated and following keto substitute keeps your mindset on living to eat, rather than eating to live. Just cut out ALL processed food, all sugar. Carbs less than 20g are the only carbs and they should be from veggies. Protein from living animals/fish. Never count "macros". Eat OMAD for sustenance. I have lost 45 lbs in 5 months, reversed my T2D, brought my triglycerides back to normal and for first time in 20 yrs, my labs are perfect!
Same here.... or me too.. Well done. Congrats!!!
This is a fabulous video, and everything Dr. Cywes says here is correct. Moving to low carb & Keto, is rather like giving-up alcohol or drugs - the big leap is giving-up the associated lifestyle.
I stalled until I started incorporating organ meat, and increased my fat intake.
Organ meats, I never would have thought of that. Like liver! High in iron!
George Jordan check out ancestral supplements. Try some liver, brain , spleen , tallow , bone marrow. It saved my life. Brain fog has almost disappeared. Effortless energy throughout the day. Sleep like log at night. Almost a weird natural “high” throughout the day. Truly saved my life. I’m a new man. Now I eat bone marrow and liver raw!!
@exposetheliarsnow WRONG
Kidneys, yummy!
Unfortunate wording: "Why Keto and Carnivore Diets fail 98% of the Time."
Implies 98% of attempts lead to failure. Should be something like "The reasons for 98% of keto and carnivore diet failures."
CM...your suggestion sounds grammatically clumsy to me.
How about...
"Why 98% of people fail on the Keto and Carnivore diet"?
It was probably just a clickbait title.
I'm curious where Dr C pulled the 98% from :-)
It is good clickbait.

The problem is the eating culture that we live in. For example a Chinese culture of eating all the time, mostly carbs, fruit and vegetables. Thousands of years of this eating pattern. If you live alone it's easy to change but with a partner that doesn't agree or won't believe it you're going to have major conflicts with family over meals and foods. This is not just about changing your diet, it's a potential conflict with family and friendships.
Request for Dr Cywes: Please also post these lectures as a Podcast. It is much easier for us to listen to you while are walking or driving. Thanks for your efforts.
Great video. I eat when my body tells me to. Then, I eat a keto meal, 1 plate fills and satisfies me. 50 pounds down and been on maintenance for 3 months without any weight gain. Great advice Doc 👍
Return to “eat to live” not “live to eat”
I’ve lost 71 pounds since last August doing keto! I love it!!!!
Hi Dr. Cywes! This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. Very nice! I hit the like button.
I'm a carnivore. I've been eating carnivorously for almost 2 years now. I've lost 60 lbs.
I distinguish a difference between full and fed. I describe full, as when my stomach has reached capacity, yet I'm still hungry. And fed is when I've have the feeling of eating enough but my stomach is not at capacity. Before, I starting eating carnivorously, I had always felt full without feeling fed. I've never felt fed. Now that I eat carnivorously, I feel fed before feeling full. At the fed feeling, I push away my plate. What is left on my plate is food for another day.
I call breakfast, to break your fast, as the first meal you eat after you have slept. If the first time you eat is at 4:30 pm, then you had breakfast at 4:30 in the afternoon.
I've learned that what I eat for breakfast, whenever it is, will dictate the stability of my hunger and thirst for the rest of the day. A healthy, carbohydrate free, breakfast, (sunny side eggs fried in tallow or butter with a glass of water) keeps my hunger and thrust stable for the day. A poor breakfast, (cereal, oatmeal porridge, or toast with orange juice) messes up my hunger and thirst for the rest of the day. Fasting, that is, a good night’s sleep, resets this imbalance caused by a poor yesterday’s breakfast.
The just of your presentation is that we are creatures of habit. And we still use the habits of how we ate before we learned that we are carnivores. We have to get more in tune with when our body’s is asking for food rather than when our culture is telling us to eat. I do not fast by the clock. If I’m not hungry, I do not eat; if I am hungry, I’ll eat.
My mother cites a comment made by and aborigine of North America describing a man of European decent. “How strange! The white man needs a machine on his wrist to tell him when he is hungry.”
Again, thank you for your enlightening insight.
I want to know about CARNIVORE-- don't give a rip about KETO--- my sis does keto and though she's lost some-- she's MISERABLE... totally miserable. I did CARNIVORE for over a year- and GAINED weight-- and felt crappy-- but discovered I was doing it WRONG... I've done it correctly the last week-- and it's Working great. BUT I want to know MORE about what makes the carnivore FAIL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am so tired of keto/carnivore experts telling me I need to eat more calories and more fat and more protein. Instinctive eating makes so much more sense to me. I've discovered that since I don't eat a lot, I need to stick to carnivore and not waste volume on veggies. I am doing so much better this way.
Most Americans don't go through each day feeling chronically thirsty. However, I bet over half are chronically dehydrated. I think there's something to be said about knowing that you may need something without your body necessarily signaling for it.
Nothing will work for you...
@@minoritymind,
If someone took you up on your "I bet ..." then how would you prove who won the bet?
@ArcoZakus I think it's possible to present compelling evidence, but definitive proof would be quite challenging to provide. Studies would largely depend on the demographics of the sample. I'm open to hearing how you might try to prove it, one way or another, so long as we agree that the absence of evidence doesn't equate to evidence of absence.
Most of those so-called experts are in their 20s maybe 30s. Weight loss at that age is very easy. There are a few carnivore TH-camers who have metabolic disorders and despite their great losses of weight are still obese. This demonstrates how hard it is to get rid of all the fat for many of us.
My question is are men and women different as women should eat based on hormones. Men can get away with not eating. So, curious what your thoughts are on this! This would help me ❤
I'm a woman. I fast. Check out Dr. Mindy. She discusses women and hormones and when to fast.
A Rottweiler eating breakfast? That was hysterical! Great suggestions from one Rottweiler to another!
Wow, free knowledge for this guy is gold. I feel as if I need to pay him now for the this knowledge bomb.
If I'd eat as much as I "want", (and zero carbs), I'd be undernourished. I can't have more than 120g meat or fish at once. Twice a day like that is not enough for a daily protein impact.
I have lost 28lbs so far on Keto, my Fibro and RA pain is better. I do intermittent fasting 16-20hrs a day. I eat once a day about 5 or 6pm. I’m never hungry and never feel deprived. 🥰
will keto help my skin? and hair? and seborrheic dermatitis
Noah Ahmed
That would depend on the quality of the food.
Exactly Teresa
Fake women diseases def go away with keto
If you eat once a day at 5 or 6, your daily fast is a lot longer than 16-20 hours. Do you mean the only time you eat a complete meal is then? Do you eat small amounts before or after the meal? tx
I'm still on a Keto Diet ... not for weight loss, but for sugar control and inflammation. It's worked well for me. I rotate off of Keto for special occasions or just to have a break in the routine and to get access to necessary nutrient that I might be missing.
My keto diet with carnivore emphasis has failed b/c I'm a grazer, esp., during covid self-iso. Still in ketosis but eating too many calories.
Madam_Meow99 I’m curious how that’s possible. I’ll eat a 1.5-2 pound ribeye and will have zero interest in eating anything for 24 hours. I also eat all that delicious fat on the end.
@@66gtb This, I have been doing Keto for a couple months and I'm struggling to eat even a 1000 calories a day, I just can't eat more. I'm over 6'2, male, I was probably on 3500 - 4000 calories a day before Keto.
cant eat calories...cant feel degrees on thermometer.
I went through different waves of eating and just let my body do it’s thing. If I was hungry I ate but I tried to shave 15 mins off here and there to stretch the time out before eating- or I’d ask myself if I wanted to eat eggs (on keto) and if I couldn’t stomach them then I wasn’t really hungry- it was always my “true” hunger test. At the beginning I actually gained weight and was so mad reading all these testimonials of people losing tons of weight off the bat- but I stuck with it- I came to find out my body is an asshole- it took 3 months before it kicked in and so I’m very insulin resistant. But when I did, it’s very easy not to be hungry and I practice stretching the time out between meals. If I get hungry I drink water with lemon, pink salt and a little apple cider vinegar- then wait longer. I’ve gotten better and better. It’s just retraining yourself from years of eating a different way- but don’t fight your body- like the doctor said- don’t ever starve yourself- your body will automatically do this and it’s actually a calming feeling.
@@silvergirl7810 If keto isn't working for you, go full carnivore, but be sure to eat liver, heart, tongue and a lot of fat. The fat keeps you satiated for a very long time. For snacks, if you MUST have them, make some biltong www.mykitchen.co.za/favourites/home-made-biltong/ which you can eat with or without a handful of greaves (the solids left over from rendering suet or lard) with a little salt. That will keep you going for a long while!
Ok I have pcos and insulin resistance and I've been on keto 2 months with no real results so added intermittent fasting started with 16 and 8 for 3 weeks and still nothing. I added a blood ketone metre (kiss my keto metre) and went to 1 meal a today is only day 2. Yesterday my blood ketone at 3pm was 3.1 I at at 5:30pm and at 9pm 1.9. Today at 2:30pm it was 0.9 and at 6:30 before my meal 0.8 what is happening? I read fasting levels should be between 3 and 5 yesterday it was today it wasn't. Im trying to figure this out any input would be helpful
This is Brilliant! All people on keto need to see this. "Your liver gives you breakfast."
This saying is solid gold.
Then why am I always STARVING when I wake up? I've been a huge breakfast eater all my life, can't imagine how that would change.
@@SFiz-b3f Saying what you CAN'T imagine is negative thinking. I'll bet you actually have a great imagination. So, see if you can imagine this: The body can use either carbohydrates or fat for energy. Over several weeks, I reduced my carbs from 200 grams per day, then 100 grams of carbs per day, then 50, 20, and finally 10. That forced my body to start "burning" fat for energy instead of carbs. As Dr. Ken Berry says, eat until you are comfortably stuffed, then don't eat again until you are hungry. I eat only one meal a day because I get hungry only once a day. This saves me a lot of time and money. And I feel better than I did before. Off all meds. Brain fog gone. Had to tighten my belt 4 notches, and finally get a smaller belt. All WITHOUT going hungry. I eat until I am comfortably stuffed. I don't deprive myself.
Good advice! If eating only 1 meal a day, or not eating for 24 hrs is not fasting, what is fasting? Diet is number 1, most important but exercise is very important for health and can help lose weight and very importantly build muscle.
Takes me back to child hood don’t remember anyone being overweight it’s simply common sense I’m done with diets
Back in your childhood, you didnt have as many tricky foods, GMOs, fake meat, fake news, or billion dollar marketing strategies to spin health statistics on bad health products either. Gotta make a clean eating habit that's easy to stick to.
1) eating was near dinner table with no gadgets, news, TV and rush so we were chewing food long and propper :-))
2) after food we were active outside not sitting in gadgets or TV
3) at 9pm we were going to sleep without gadget so woke up early and ready for active day
4) no nonstop news was trashing up our brains and spiking cortisol
: let your body tell you not your brain, that you are ful" powerful in it's simpel clearity...this knowledge is the proof of an understanding mind..... the path of wisdom....
I have never seen this channel before and the title of this episode seemed at first to indicate that it was an anti-keto channel. But I decided to watch anyway. I'm glad I did. Good advice.
I wake up hungry at 2am, to hell with breakfast! That's my 2nd and sometimes 3rd "meal" of the day. Lol
Your title is misleading. You should change it. Reading your title gives me the idea that you are against Keto. I listened to you only so I could give you crap about being against Keto but found I agree with everything you've said and it jibes with what I've heard from other doctors. I've been on the Keto way of eating and intermittent fasting for a little over a year. I'm on Keto about half the week and carnivore the other half. I never eat before noon-3:00 pm. I also only count total carbs.
Yes, Diane, i did the same was going to tell this did Doc a thing or two then see he has just miss labeled his talk LOL !!
I thought the exact same thing.
Me too! I thought the same first but found out this is a very wise approuch for eating and eating habits. Thanks Doc for this!👍
I thought the same thing
He likely did this purposefully. Just like it got your attention it’ll get anti keto viewers attention as well. It’s a good title!
I have been eating Keto for over 1 year. I eat low carb because I am a type II diabetic. Keeping on this nourishment program has been easy and very satisfying for me. The statements made by this guy are just not true overall. People that have to diet in fact most often fail. They fail because they really do not want to change their eating habits, most of the time because they are addicted to the foods they eat. Either emotionally, or physically, like a sugar addiction. Eating Keto is actually much easier than trying to follow a low fat or low calorie meal plan. I do not count calories, I lost 75 pounds in 3 1/2 months easily, without cravings or having to cheat. I have not eaten over 20 grams of carbs in over a year, and I don't miss it.
This is the first really detailed explanation as to why I lost 25 lbs in the first 8 weeks of keto, nothing for the next 20 months, and then actually gained 10 lbs, despite being pretty faithful to eating keto foods only. Now that I actually have some reason to try hard again, I might finally be able to get the fat off.
I feel that your common sense and accurate information will not be very popular because there is no magic potion/pill solution for people to latch onto.
I just heard of this Carnivors diet last night which made me watch more videos regarding carnivor diet. This is very new to us and truly blewed my mind,felt excited at the same time to try it and cant wait to share this new diet that could save me from health issues and my family.😇🙏🏻
Thank you so much!✨💯 New subscriber from Manila,Philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Naka carnivore diet kami ng kapatid ko, ako mag dalawang taon na, yung kapatid ko 1 year. Siguro sumuko ka na kasi andaming handaan palagi na puro carbs hahaha
Click bait. These ways of eating work for so many people. They transform and enhance the body. Not like the old usual white coat and stethoscope eat Less and exercise more garbage.
I would say most probably fail because of alcohol 💁🏻♂️
Once you quit eating glucose the hunger largely goes away.
I am carb addicted, but I noticed the times I felt best were when I did not eat anything. so at 64 I am OMAD carnivore and will stay that way.
Breakfast most important meal is propaganda created to sell processed breakfast food backed by the USDA and Kellogg's, among others. Follow the money!!
Keto and intermittent fasting was life changing for me. Brain fog and anxiety gone. Endless energy and great sleep. Never going back.
I am Carnivore not for weight loss but for my IBS/IBD/CROHN'S.....
Thanks, this makes sense to me 18 months into keto and OMAD for 6 months. I've gotten the weight off but sense there is a way to fine tune the lifestyle and your suggestions about satiatity make perfect sense from my perspective. I'm going to slow done and pay more attention to my body's signals.
You are the click bate master!!! Every time I watch a video to call BS on your title I see you flip the punchline. 🙄
🤣😂🤣
This is a MUST SEE Video! 👍 There are FAR TOO MANY Videos focusing on WHAT to EAT. I believe the 3 Meals a Day plus constant Snacking LIFESTYLE has contributed as much to the current Health Crisis as Junk Food.
what fails? Not here..... ( thought it was an anti-carnivore title,lol, quite the opposite, great stuff, new sub :)
Less snacking, omad, interm. fasting, eat when u're really hungry. Eat nutricious and satiating, no matter how many calories and how big the portion or how much fat in the meal. The more fat the better if u wanna get/keep slim. Zero sugar and grains is the key. ciao !
For a few weeks I've been having some challenges, and this video was exactly the information I was looking for. I'm incorporating these ideas today and we'll see how it goes. Thanks.
are you still on Patrion? I guess I'll see if the money comes out this month. :) But would you rather have support some other way than Patrion? You're the only one i use it for.
LOL, I’ll never go back to SAD for more than a day or two a few times a year. This is my third year. It’s a WoE, not a “diet”.
Brian P. Did u loose weight? If so where did you start?
Leeangela Koerber - Yeah, I lost 50 lbs, and have kinda plateaued there. I started around 250 and I’m down to 200, but I’m over six feet tall, so while I’m still a bit overweight, I’m a lot more comfortable now, much easier getting around, fewer aches, way less hunger, and I love the keto food choices. I still have beer-a couple a day ordinarily, before dinner. I think that’s holding me back some, but my doctor says I’m doing great. I might give up the beers for awhile, I’ve been drinking more regularly on keto than before, but it’s the one high carb thing I’ve allowed myself to have (used to give it up when calorie restricting and all the other insane things I’ve tried). Fasting and keto are the only things that enable me to have a normal weight.
Leeangela Koerber - I started with keto, then began IF by skipping breakfast, and not eating anything after dinner. Pretty easy, but not getting a snack at night is the hardest part. I just go to bed early sometimes instead, so I’m getting more sleep.
Brian P. I jus think I’ll b able to maintain my weight on the keto and fasting. At this point it’s been a year and a half and I’ve cut out so much and I’ve not got to my goal weight. Guess it’s back to the Drs for my tests. I won’t go back to the SAD bc of the same reasons, less aches amazing energy etc. wish me luck, hope u stay on the keto diet too!
One thing that is never talked about is social life. Your friends invite you over to their house for dinner. You get over their and nothing they have cooked is ketto. You say no i can't eat that. One the kinda take offence, two they probably won't invite you over again. Where im from everything is around food, and or beer. I think even my girlfriend is getting board because of the ketto diet. One more thing is sometimes life dictates when you eat. At work we go to lunch at 11:00.
Me: Liver will you please feed me breakfast tommorrow?
Liver: After 30 years of abuse, you still want me to make your breakfast? I'm filing for a divorce!

Lol 🤣 😂😂😂😂
I can't get over how after only three weeks on the diet I have very little appetite
I am doing a 3-month trial of eggs and meat only and it is wonderfully boring
And the meat and eggs are so nutrient dense that I don't need to eat anywhere near as much as I used to
Wow! Great advice! The first couple of minutes, I thought I was going to be bored, but I kept listening because the comments were interesting. I’m glad I did. New subscriber here. Thank you so much.
Dear Dr. Cywes! What you described in this presentation, I had to learn on my own. It took me a long time even to finally feel satiated after my meal. Now, I just wait till I feel 10 / 10 HUNGRY. Eat, enjoy my meal and feel satiated. Thank to all LCHF information, mostly carnivore and saturated fats! I used to envy those who could stop eating. For me first, I had to get rid of ALL CHO. Works like a charm!
7:20. The 2MAD or OMAD is the best frequency of meals acording to top KETO doctors.
