Carnivore 1 year now, If it wasn't for Dr. Paul Saladino, Dr. Shawn Baker and Dr. Ken Berry I would still be extremely sick unable to walk or have a life. I have Lupus but you would never know it now. Lost 30 pounds and still losing, No more fatigue, I am a completely active 58 yr old woman now, jump out of bed everyday at 6:00 am, zero pain ever !! Thank you Dr Paul Saladino, your video's are life changing !
Exactly, the difference between surviving and thriving. And it can take decades for the body to break down, making it very hard to tease apart the sources.
So, with this said....why do some believe fat in our cells blocks glucose from entering and vice versa.....it appears that if you do either or, your body compensates and markers change according to food
The carnivore diet has given me my life back. According to my mother, I was “born constipated.” As an infant, my pediatrician recommended adding karo syrup to my formula to help me poop. It only helped a little, but it certainly turned me into the Michelin baby! I was on the chunky side as a kid, despite being active in dance and gymnastics. I should also add that I primarily ate fruits and vegetables and I continued to be suuuuper constipated and suffered from chronic nausea and stomach pain. When I finally saw a specialist as a tween, I was told that there was nothing wrong with me, but that I needed to see a psychiatrist. I spent the remainder of my teenage years seeing therapist after therapist. I got a bit slimmer due to increased physical activity, but the psychotherapy did absolutely nothing to help my constant stomach pain. After college, I moved to LA and became a (dun, dun, DUN...) VEGAN. At that point, I was having to get colonics every week and take 5+ aloe vera capsules just to poop at all. And I **felt** like poop to boot. I thought veganism was supposed to be the pinnacle of health! In a possibly unrelated turn of events, I also developed multiple sclerosis. Now, I’m not claiming “post hoc ergo propter hoc,” but I’m also not ruling out the diathesis-stress model. Again, my doctors repeatedly dismissed my medical issues and referred me to psychiatrists. At long last, I got a proper diagnosis and my doctor told me to start eating meat immediately. There was some improvement, but I was still eating tons of fruits and vegetables because my doctor had recommended the paleo diet. I learned to manage the MS symptoms fairly quickly and, to be fair, I have a very “mild” case of MS. But the constipation was intolerable. I somehow managed to get a master’s degree and I became a psychological researcher and a marriage and family therapist, but I could do little more than go to class a few times a week, see clients for the absolute bare minimum hours per week that were required to complete the internship, and the rest of my time was spent taking laxatives and waiting for them to kick in. So here I am with all these credentials, but no energy to put them to good use. During the pandemic, I watched a lot of videos on TH-cam and I stumbled upon a video about the carnivore diet. I had read The Fiber Menace, and had cut out all fruit as well as high fiber vegetables, but it wasn’t enough. I went all-in with the carnivore diet and had the first easy, normal, complete bowel movement of my entire life within a few days. I’ve been a carnivore for 6 weeks now and I’m thriving! Did it cure MS? No. I will always have MS, but the symptoms are even easier to manage now that my stomach doesn’t hurt all the time. Actually, my stomach doesn’t hurt AT ALL. I am so appreciative of medical professionals who think beyond what conventional medicine teaches. The carnivore diet has given me genuine freedom for the first time in my life. From the bottom of my healthy heart, THANK YOU.
Good for you! Like yourself, I had chronic constipation and IBS as long as I can remember, and I worked my way through vegetarianism, paleo, and keto before I found out that it was fiber causing my main problems. I’ve been meat-based ketovore, but not fully carnivore for almost a month now, and I absolutely thrive on it. It’s good to see others like yourself stumble onto the same knowledge and put it into practice with amazing results!
I am 60 & was bedridden with diffuse pain after years of eating a Mediterranean-type diet. After only 2 weeks on a carnivore diet I experienced periods of being pain-free and energetic. After 4 months on carnivore I continue to have longer and longer times of being pain-free. My body is finally healing through dietary changes alone.

I'm so sorry you had to experience veganism. It was the worst part of my life and the vegans I knew literally all shunned me once I left their ideological diet club. Been a carnivore for awhile now and it's saved my life.
@@SenorJuan2023 when I was vegan I ate a mix of junk and healthy food. I felt good on the Vegan diet personally, but when I did carnivore for a similar amount of time, I felt better. When I was a vegan most of my diet was about 20 supplements to make up for some of the deficiencies it creates, I ate a shitload of tortilla chips and hummus. I also spent a lot of time at taco bell with the bean burrito fresca style. The only thing I cheated with was dha from animals, because you can't get it even in an artificial form as a vegan. They claim you can gain it from seaweed, but there is no evidence humans utilize the nutrients in seaweed to naturally create dha
Thank our human ancestors, not the alleged “experts” of today. These so called experts only repeat what people have been doing for thousands of years. Until processed foods came with “progress” and technology. As humans we regress rather than progress.
I think a lot of stuff you say make sense. But Sorry dude but hunting did not make us turn into humans. I do not believe we evolved from monkey like creatures. I have a hard time taking people who believe in evolution in which one creature evolves into a new creature seriously.
Amazing what I've learned in this lecture. My doctors have been treating me wrong all these years and it explains why I've been getting worse. I switched to eating more meats and less veggies a while back and I've gotten better... much better. My doctors are surprised at the results and shocked at how they were achieved. Even with the results, they're trying to talk me out of the regimen and back on their program...NEVER!
We should never tell our drs about our improvements when we try new things, they don't care about you. Imagine you have improve, but they want you to go back to the old way. Says a lot
@Life-is-a-mist we the people like to do what the drs say, but I find they know very little. The pharmaceuticals have them under their controls. If any dr goes against them, they get fired or sued. We have to stop running to the pharmacies for every pain pill they recommend. Imagine 99 pills on the market for diabetes. I am in my 77th year and happy to say not even an aspirinin my cabinet.
It's so refreshing for something I've been feeling for years and everybody knocking me that when I eat more fat and meat I feel better and everybody kept doctors saying I was wrong and out of my mind so thank God this is finally made it out into the open and possibly have saved my life along with many others thank you
it's the science. don't listen to doctors. they're basically paid to lie to you. they know you'll get sick and come back giving them money to help you if you are to just eating a plant based diet like a crazy vegan.
Good lord I clutched my pearls and had my keyboard warrior thumbs set to kill when I read the title to this talk. As always, EXCELLENT talk, thank you for putting this together.

I live on a farm area in South Africa. I recently picked up 4 stone tools (knife-like structures) , 2 of which are still sharp enough to cut meat. This leaves little doubt in my mind that we ate meat.
Perhaps those tools are in some way significant paleoanthropological finds. I suggest that you take them to the anthropology department at your nearest university and see if they think they are of any interest. Take accurate note of where you found them, since it might be an important site for a future dig!
I live in Europe. I recently picked up 5 stone tools (knife-like and sickle-like structures) , 3 of which are still sharp enough to cut and harvest ancient edible grasses such as buckwheat, fire finch (amaranth) etc. This leaves little doubt in my mind that we ate plants ;-)
I’m Italian and it sounds like an Italian Sicilian surname o even Spanish. Saladino may come from salt . Salato/salado is salted. So more salt than salad . But just suppositions .
I eat Red meat at least 5 days a week, one 5oz meal a day. And because of the high zinc, I did very well with overcoming covid at home with no medical assistance.
@Zed Love thats the stupidest thing you could tell anyone. You think fat clogs arteries??? ROFLMAO that's a total bullshit lie thats been proven wrong time and time again. Stop being foolish. For Gods sake, read a book thats not written by a statin pushing doctor. Dr. Berry, Dr. Baker are a couple you should read.
I'm im nursing school and it's crazy to me how they still push the high fiber, fruits n vegetables, whole grain , n low fat diet on us for patient education. Do I memorize this info for tests, sure...but it gets quickly deleted thereafter. It just makes me kinda sorta MAD when they serve up the high carb crap and sugary ensure "protein" drinks on the Diabetic patients.
I felt the same exact way through nursing school and it actually made me turn away from nursing a few years later. I just couldn’t get myself to push the dietary guidelines and I often would find myself sitting at my desk questioning every single thing I ever learned. I still do work for a nursing agency part time on my own where I can speak freely but I absolutely refuse to work in hospitals and doctors offices for this very reason. It’s hard. Good luck
Thank you SO much Paul Saladino. My autoimmune issues have improved so much since I went carnivore. I have SO much less pain. I have listened to lots of your podcasts and LOVE that you invite guests that don't necessarily agree with you so you can have some respectful, healthy debate.
Been on carnivore for one month. 8kg lost. Weird dry patch of skin on my foot has started to clear up. My performance in the gym is noticeabley better, both energy for cardio and lifting. I haven't felt this great this great since I was in my 20s.
As an Indian, who was born in a vegetarian family. It was considered grossly sinful to eat meat. We had a set of tenants who had wrongfully occupied our land and were highly muscular meat eating family. My mother raised me and other brothers inspiring/urging us to get stronger, and more muscular, but on the other hand we had no idea about what is the right food eat after intense workout. On top of that my mother always fed us high sugar content milk tea to which i was addicted until a few years ago. I could never figure out the reason for good health of the tenant family until a few years ago. While i was always working out intensely in teen ages, i couldn't grow beyond a certain point in my physical size. There was always misinformation spread in Indian society about vegetarianism being the most healthy way of living. Luckily some content of milk in the tea might have helped me acquire a certain cognitive ability to be able to diagnose my own ailments.
This guy is amazing, because of him and few others on TH-cam, I now understand how to human body works and foods that are good for us, In 5 months lost a Ton of weight by doing fasting and carnivore diet. Thanks for the information
I think it’s very interesting how so many people are turning to this diet and are getting so healthy yet the powers that be, through “the great reset” and “the green new deal” want to ban meat eating for everyone and have Bill Gates fake meat distributed as the only source of “meat.” Beyond Meat for all.

@@thirstonhowellthebird I literally had a guy on Facebook (haven’t seen in years) who is a proud vegan (also admitted steroid user) who is chubby, tell me how much healthier he is than me while posting a picture of that amazing burger or whatever that piece of shit lab made sand which was called. First of all the prob with eating at Burger King is not the meat! It’s the bun, all the fake stuff, the fries, Prob mostly the 44 oz coke, and the Hershey pie i used to throw in. If I could go there and just get a bunch of meat patties it wouldn’t be so bad not great due to the meat quality but far better than any value meal. Oh yeah, drink water. Don’t drink calories people!
......Same here. I never bought steaks for 57 years of my life. I always thought steaks were bad and would clog up my heart. In the last 3 weeks I bought about 20 steaks and now I’m losing weight. I mainly eat just 4 foods-steak, bacon, butter and cheese

I first got interested in green issues over 40 years ago . At that time overpopulation was front and centre of the ecological argument . Even though I have been on the vegetarian / vegan spectrum for most of that time , I am completely baffled as to how this ' eat less meat to save the planet ' idea became so easily accepted . Industrialised agriculture just trashes biodiversity and top soil health . Green is not always good . My county of Kent UK used to be covered in orchards full of seasonal fruit . Most of those have gone and been replaced by wheat fields and the euro seed oil crop - rapeseed . To see these crops ( which are subsidised by governments ) grown in large amounts for no good reason is very depressing . Moreover the farmers ripped up miles of biodiverse hedgerows so they could maximise the land for crop yields . The good news ( !? ) is that the farmers now get subsidies to put hedgerows back or to set aside small areas for re-wilding . .
In mental terms, carnivore diet is like a long term sustained version of Bradley Cooper's film "Limitless". Can't believe how it has transformed my insight and acumen. No kidding.
@The Deathless 3 fold - calmness under pressure, I feel unflappable. - faster, more accurate insight, I seem to grasp things faster than before, and am more correct in my predictions or assessments. - much more decisive, I choose a course if action quicker, and execute and follow through with much greater ease. I was not mentally compromised, but as a 40something finance professional i feel like my 20 something self . I ate crap in my 30s but got back in shape physically at the end. This diet makes me feel mentally back in shape, but , better than ever actually!
When I first heard about fasting and the carnivore diet and Keto it was almost like a light bulb went off in my head. So much of what Saladino, Jason Fung, Ken Berry, and Sean Baker makes sense. There are still days when I struggle with carb and sugar addiction but I'm making progress. I'm 33 still overweight but I feel better than when I was 18. I wish I could thank these guys in person for changing my life.
If only the doctors above would apply their inquisitive take on health to the sciences. Every one of them supporting evolution but going against the S.A.D. is extremely ironic.
I know the sugar addiction, it sucks the life out of you, Keep it up!! you finally get to claim back your life and will do great. Like you said some bad days, but gradually this nightmare will be behind you.
Carb cravings come from eating carbs; vicious cycle. If craving, then eat a protein like beef. It will shut down the cravings. Craving is also from body seeking nutrients. Carbs have poor levels of nutrients which don’t absorb into cells well.
The healthiest I've ever been and the best I ever felt was when I ate only ribeyes and scrambled eggs for 6-8 months. Everything from my skin to my digestive tract to my immune system to my sleep, all noticeably improved. Wish I could afford to stay on it.
Think you'd feel much the same benefits on eggs and bacon rather than ribeyes. Plenty of cheaper cuts seem to work just as well for me. Sardines too. Think it's the eggs doing much of the important work, to be honest.
I just started the carnivore diet. Into it 6 days. I've had no cravings, sleep better, and pains that affected my whole body are leaving. Thanks to Dr. Berry and the Petersons for enlightening me on this way of eating. Now my husband is doing it too.
i can't believe i found this comment immediately. i came to the comments to say that. that is trippy, he genuinely looks older in 2009. bizarre. oh, no, hold on, veganism = dying... carnivore = thriving.
On the plant defense strategy I believe plants function far more on a "altruism" standard since they cannot escape their predator. They attempt to "poison" their predatory and send out signaling chemicals in their area indicating they are under attack and others in their species should up their defensive "poison" content in their cells. People forget plant flora has been at war for millions of years with slower moving insects before the first vertebrate climbed out of the sea.
I literally just got up and threw all the greens in my fridge away. One was kale, which I was happy to do because it tastes like shit....and after you spotlighted it, I know why! The defense mechanism works on me 🤮 😂
Thank you so much for this. It explains so many of my fatigues as a child and youth even up until today. The past year I have tested both vegan AND complete meat/animal product only diets for months each, and I came to the very same conclusion: - The hunter-gatherer Palaeolithic/neolithic diets, pre-agriculture made me far better in all aspects, from energy, to general well-being, overall health and so on. I live in Oslo Norway, a city which has its share of pollutants, exhaust etc. but most of my problems turned out to be dietary, and I suddenly became very aware that I had not been getting enough B12, D3, or K2 in my "normal" / bread-potato-plant based diets that had been my main source for decades. I suddenly understood both the cravings for meat, liver-pate, and fish - and remembered how fatigued I was all the time when I trusted just to bread and potatoes etc to sustain me throughout the days. Meat got a very bad "rep" in Norway back in the 70's and 80s when I grew up - as if it was somehow "sinful", extravagant or a sign of waste or something only really wasteful rich people did. Very culturally based and biased you might say, form the old very harsh protestantic religious values of the 1800's that still echoed even into those decades. As the 1990s came, I think we all became aware of the hunter gatherer based diet, and discussions were all the rage that entire decade, and I remember I always felt that yes, the more natural thing for a human being back then must have been hunting and meat, since really energy rich plants are almost nowhere to be found here in Scandinavia, most certainly before the potato.
I love carnivore. When I have cheated on carbs, I get so incredibly ill and blah. When I introduce some veggies, I get belly ache. As soon as I go back carnivore I feel fantastic high energy.
I’ve been searching on TH-cam “ carnivore diet “ for weeks now and for some reason, on 9-19-21, this just popped up as the first video on my feed. I just listened to your audiobook on audible, several times over the last 3 weeks. Great information my man, Godspeed. You’ve made a lifelong carnivore out of this guido
Why isn’t this more well known? It makes a lot of sense. I usually can’t sit through a lecture and feel engaged the entire time but this was great to watch
@@lnk3503 Also the whole "superiority" attitude of the vegan/vegetarian community which is so married to "ecology" so they think is a tough contemporary trendy imagery to overcome. Its not "cool" to be a carnivore but it sound so "with it" to be "vegan". (Vegan has never agreed with me).

Thanks for the caveat 'not everyone' n=1 be your own experiment. I am a confirmed CARNIVORE - however I'm very hyperinsulinemic T2DM - 2.5 yrs remission, post menopausal, sadly I can not eat protein ad libitum, otherwise my A1c starts climbing back into diabetic range, I'm knocked out of ketosis and become starving hungry. So I do low carb, moderate protein and HIGH saturated fats Keto diet so pass the beef dripping! My idea of a cheat is a whole steak, this will be my celebratory goal weight meal - 4 lbs to go!
High HBA1C in low carb eating is not an indicator of bad health. Readings come high because Hb live for more than 3 months causing higher reading. This test is an indicator of protein glycation as a result of high BS. My blood sugar remains from 65 when fasting to 125 after Carnivore meals. There is no way this amount of BS causes abnormal glycation as shown by my 6.1 HBA1C reading.. Dr Darren Schmidt has explained in some video.
Mind.Blown. I'm on day 6 of carnivore, and I love it. I'm waiting for my brain to take a turn to help me sleep better, I still believe it's still adjusting from running on sugar for sleep to running on fat for sleep. I believe I will have better sleep once I am fat adapted. I also believe in radical living and am very excited for the future and to be a better example of HEALTH to my family!
After three weeks of quite high fat paleo keto my sleep began deteriorating : (. Though otherwise my health/inflammation improved markedly. A conundrum . . .
An idea would be to save ones little bit of veggie/carb input for the evening meal, and not be high keto heading to bed. A thought I am experimenting with.
Every time I’d eat veggies especially greens I got so bloated looking like 4 months pregnant 🤰🏼 with meat, poultry and fish i have a flat stomach!💖 #Carnivore is the way!
@Taiwo Omotosho I'm O+ and meat has always grossed me out, even as a little kid. I try so hard to eat proteins, but it's a struggle. I can do salmon and shrimp.
Me too. But today I had 3 processed cheese slices with my quarter pounder patties and very quickly started to get extremely tired and then my stomach popped out feeling really bloated and I actually did a huge fart lol tmi so now I recognise I was always having those reactions with my common foods so have to be careful with dairy too, just stick to meat

Weirdest thing happened to me today, (warning, kinda gross) I was doing some exercises on my yoga mat and a large chunk of my eczema on my knee cap broke off my knee. I further noticed that about 80% of it had healed over the past two weeks since I've cut out ALL plants and incorporating LOTS of organs. It was like the rotten parts of my body were just flaking off. I wasn't really even paying attention to it until this happened. So, kinda interesting. I honestly don't have any psychological improvements from Carnivore, but maybe those will come later.
What kinds of organs did you eat to heal your condition? My condition is different any internal my I'm trying to figure out what organs to eat and how to do it without being grosses out. My goal is to heal very chronic and severe bladder inflammation.
@@alexandramiller4098 A way to eat organs … Example: •Ancestral Health organic beef liver in capsules. •Get butcher to finely grind liver and have ground beef mixed with the liver 90% to 10%. •As you get used to it, you can increase % of liver to ground beef. •Don’t overcook liver itself. Cook in bacon fat. Only eat small amounts of liver as you acquire a taste; the rest from capsules. •You might eventually add in heart, liver, kidney etc
@@alexandramiller4098 All organs are good, but don't over do it. Eat them in the same proportions as you find them in an animal. As time goes on, you'll find your body will tell you when it needs them. Supplements are OK, but you won't have the instinctive ability to know if you need them or not.
Last week, after watching your video, I quit my 2-year keto diet and started the carnivore diet. I am already feeling the difference. My bloating is gone, and I am feeling better. In 3 months, I will do a blood test and hope my cholesterol and kidney function will be normal.
FYI I am 55 yo and was vegan from 2017-2019 until i got so skinny (down to BMI 17) and was cold and tired all the time, to save my career and marriage i had to begin eating some fish and eggs - my weight increased by 6 kg (BMI 19) and i had energy again, however I have been prediabetic and suffering from arthritis for years, I am due to have an operation in May to pin (lock/fuse) my left thumb, last week my BSL was 6.2, I tried the meat only diet beginning just this week after 4 days of eating meat only my BSL was 4.4 this morning !!, and i just had my first pain free workout, and my thumb is the best it has been in years ! - i am not using my thumb brace today at work !, I hope this continues so I can avoid surgery and throw away my blood glucose meter....
What I love most about Dr Saladino is that he doesn't sound condescending at all; Just a genuine caring dude. While almost every single vegan advocate acts likes they are the superior masterminds and we are all dumbasses who don't know what's right.
I was thinking about something. Could that be that our body is really good at digesting one type of food at once . Our ancestors wouldn’t eat a salad + meat + fruits. I wonder if we just eat rice at lunch and nothing else, or just a piece of meat, or just avocados. What would happen ? Wouldn’t we be more efficient at absorbing the nutrients and digesting etc. In the carnivore books, Paul talk about the anti body of plants that reduce the absorption of iron etc .
yes, look up "food combining". You should be able to find supporting info about this topic. bottomline we are not really meant to consume multiple macros at the same time - it works only because the enzymes overlap which equates to their least efficient means of digestion. For example a protein should only take about 2hrs or so to digest, but when mixed with starch, will take upwards of 6hrs due to inefficiency. Almost all the diets overlook the basics of straightforward digestion science.
@@atoms.channel However, the faster the digestion (of, say, a steak) the higher the glucose rush from that portion that is above protein needs, I would think. For sure the same goes with the 'bowl of rice' idea - the science says no-go.
Low lectin diet has changed my life! Here I thought gluten (diagnosed) was my only problem and that a vegetarian diet for 9 years was a good idea 💡 oof 🤦♂️🤪. I'm carnivoreish.

@Mike Jones sadly that's basically 99% of all plant foods. But with special cooking methods, fermentation and peeling the skin you can avoid many of the antinutrients but not everything listed is an antinutrient. It would be easier to list what you can actually eat in small amounts.
@Mike Jones Here are the only plant based foods that from my research I have found to be "safe" but you still should eat them in moderation. All these foods now are very low in most of the items in my list with some exceptios that I will explain how to avoid. Hemp seeds: high oxalates. Fermentation is needed to reduce them. 36 hours in water, 3 tbs odmf salt and one tablespoon of lemon or apple vinegar per every cup. Bake them after fermentation until dry. You can eat them safety after that process. Why the effort is worth? This little f*ers hace extremely high amounts of magnesium which is hard to get naturally from food. The potassium content is also good and omega 3. Zuchinni: high lectins/high salicylate. Avoid it by peeling the skin and removing all seeds. Stir fry them in butter at high temp. No more than two per day. Bell Pepper high lectins. Same method as zuchini. No more than one medium size or 4 small ones per day. Brocolli (heads only): high salicylates /high glucosinolates. Stir fry them in butter at high temperature. Only 5 per day. Carrott: moderate salicylates/moderate oxalates. Same method a zuchini. Up to 4 a day. Green beans moderate phytates/moderate oxalates. Stir fry in butter at high temperature. A handful a day is acceptable. Avocado half a day or 1/4 if is a big avocado. Pili nuts high lectins and phylates. Soak them in salt water for 24 hours and bake them or sun dry them. A handful is fine this nuts are incredible because of the high monosaturaded fat which is strange in nuts. They have basically zero carb and lots of nutrients. Now the best ones: Chayote (and a actual fruit). Low in everything! Still you want to peel the skin and remove the seed and you will have the only plant based food with zero toxins and antinutrients. This is a fruit but cock it like a vegetable. Eat as many as you wish. Macadamia. Really incredible nut. Low in everything and virtually zero if you soak them in water and bake them. Eat as many as you wish. There is nothing else out there sorry... I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.

Yes Amazing isn't it! That this little old hormone can defy basic laws of energy that nothing else that we know of can. It allows us to magically create energy out of nothing and store it even if we use use more energy than we take in.
Reasons I would thumb this up: Fung is onto a lot of good stuff and he helped me a lot at the beginning of my journey Reasons I won't: most people following Saladino have already heard most of what Fung has to say, and it's not *everything* when it comes to metabolic science. Kinda like Toyota making a nice 50mpg hybrid and pretending 20 years later that fully electric vehicles still aren't better.
Ryan De Witt the body is not a fire. Your body has hormones and raises and lowers metabolism based on the environment. It doesn’t break the laws of physics, it follows biochemistry and physiology...
@@Ryan_DeWitt calorie counting is fundamentally flawed. If you look at standard values for a marathon run, apparently 2600 calories are burnt. But then there are people who burn literally only 500 calories. I am one of them. These people have to work harder to burn 2600 calories. Probably have to to run 100km. The reason is simple. Metabolism. Look, the body is far more efficient at extracting energy than you realize. Sometimes you burn upto 10 times the energy on a certain activity and other times you store 10 times more. Look up "Bulldog Mindset" on TH-cam. He runs 60 miles per week, gym three times a week for 2 hr sessions, and kickboxing 3 times a week. Guess how many meals he eats. One Meal a Day. OMAD. He isn't your stereotypical bodybuilder who spends his entire time in the kitchen and consuming 10,000 calories a day. And he's swole. Everything you know about mainstream nutritional science is bullshit and it's like that because companies want to sell you products. *Wanna build muscle? Here buy our protein powder, its proven with "scientific research "* Yeah that kind of stuff. Same with vegan and sugar industry. They wanna sell you stuff.
Getting into fermenting vegetables. Apparently bell peppers have 3 times what oranges have and fermenting them increases it to 12 times that, so in total 36 times. It is also really good for gut microbiome and building immunity.
How do you ferment your bell peppers? (remove innards, and mash with salt - how much salt) is that all. Pour water on top, and lid it. Leave on counter?
Fermented foods generally are a hard no as they cause expansion in your gut which leads to pain. Besides that they are not necessary, and are generally not carnivore. Occasional kombu seaweed won't have much of an impact on you but it's still not strictly carnivore.
I tuned into this video so I could hear the “debunked side” of Carnivore. I try to be someone who is willing to step out of my belief system and hear the other side, which is so rare these days. Imagine my surprise that this was the most awesome video ever validating carnivore!!!!! Not to mention you are hilarious. Many of these Zoom talks are like watching paint dry. I totally agree with what you said about the brain and carnitine. When I went carnivore, coming from a 25 year long plant based diet, my husband asked me how I felt after a week on it. My first answer was “I feel smarter!!!”. I couldn’t believe how my brain was working better then I ever remember. Thank you for this. I hope to persuade my fellow vegan friends to watch....but unfortunately they probably won’t want to challenge their belief system.
Hi there. Just wondering why you "left" veganism. Our son has become vegan since moving to Europe in 2019 to study (we are NZ sheep and beef farmers would you believe). I worry about his health.
I was looking for opposing arguments, yet this guy sealed the deal for me. I've been carnivore for 3-4 weeks and I feel great and make much fewer mistakes now.
I’m enjoying and learning a lot from this talk, thank you Dr Saladino. One question, which vegetables are the least toxic? I want to continue eating vegetables while moving to a diet of more meat.
There are numerous studies showing people who had moderate consumption of alcohol (2 to 3 drinks a day) live longer than non drinkers. In the Mediterranean, some of the longest lived populations live on islands and consume alcohol, mostly red wines, regularly. They also are primarily plant eaters. It appears that grains are not a major component of their diet, at least in the form of breads, but they do consume various forms of pasta. There is almost no processed food, as in the west, and when they eat meat, it is often chicken and goat or lamb the kill themselves. Surprisingly, fish is eaten only rarely. My observation is that they are not obese, but not exactly skinny either. They possess a joie de vivre surpassing most of what I've witnessed in the west. I wonder how much the stresses of modern urbanized and polluted environments shorten our lives almost as much as processed food.
I was on a red meat heavy carnivore diet and it ruined my sleep. I felt terrible after a few days. Keto with added avocado but less protein was far better for me for some months. Then it too ruined my sleep. I have been on a low carb but not quite keto Mediterranean diet heavy on veggies and I’ve felt amazing for six months with no sign of diminishing returns. That’s my anecdote. I notice a lot of people writing anecdotes and it’s important not to forget we have individual differences.
was it actually the carnivore red meat diet you were on that ruined your sleep or does your body need a detox from metals, mold etc. ? Have a look for dr darren shmidt on youtube he talks a lot about that stuff
So are you telling us you are a natural herbivore like a antelope a cow a bison, a water buffalo, a giraffe, a reindeer, a giant ground sloth, a rhinoceros, a Paraceratherium?? Fascinated science needs to study you seriously
When started off with, "The Carnivore Diet is bonkers", I almost shut the video off. 4 years ago I went low carb high fat with fasting to reverse Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, and a legion of other health issues. As I progressed I moved to keto, then protein focused, then to carnivore. This was an all natural transition, not forced. I still have the odd fruit or vegetable, but they are minimal. My health is great, and has been for 3 1/2 years.
Paul, Any insight into foods to help female endometriosis? My girl has been diagnose and there is so much B.S. out there. Can you tell me anything about true foods to avoid and to keep/ Thank you.
@@BRM101 maybe one day Drs can prescribe a carnivore diet for those that need it for health reasons. Our planet could not sustain this many humans on a carnivore diet.
I think for people who are used to high amounts of carbohydrates should slowly wean themselves onto lower carbs, its incredibly hard to give up sugar and it'll increase the rate of success over straight going 0 carb sugars.
It's interesting to me that when historical novels describe the meals the rich ate in the early 1800s, it's one fish or meat dish after another with a small bowl of potatoes or some sort of vegetables, but it's obvious that it's mainly meat they're eating often with rich sauces. I always thought that was kinda weird, but maybe they knew something we don't.
41:34 I'm one of those women. I have interstitial cystitis, which is a pelvic pain disorder. There's a list of foods that trigger pain, and anything with high oxalates is on either the "it'll probably cause a flare up" list or the "avoid like the plague" list. Interestingly enough, there are no meats on either of those lists (except artificially cured meats and highly processed meat products and such). I'm watching this video because lately, everything I eat causes a flare up. Well, everything except plain meat. IC is a mystery illness, but some doctors think it's autoimmune. So, it's all making sense what you're saying. A lot of people do better on a paleo diet, but I bet nobody would dare mention the carnivore diet in a support group. It just sounds too crazy. Well you know what else is crazy? My bladder attacking itself and doctors having no idea why. I can't wait to try this and see if I can finally live without pain.
Just went “carnivore-ish” a few days ago and I feel absolutely fantastic. Wheat and most vegetables/fruits destroy my stomach 🤷🏻♀️ Edit: it’s been three weeks and I’m down about ten pounds and almost two pant sizes!
I've got to be honest...I jumped on the Whole Food Based Diet Kick because I am 54 and wanted to have clear blood vessels. Those professionals pushing Plant-Based claim that eating green leafy vegetables like Kale and Arugula will increase your body's Nitric-Oxide. I tried it for 4 weeks and had nothing but bad gas and stomach issues to the point I could not go to meetings and family gatherings despite all efforts to make adjustments like removing beans and cabbage. Oh, and I was hungry all the time. So I gave carnivore a try and I can say by eating a 50/50 ratio of fat /Protein I have more energy and have great pumps in my workouts. So my Nitric-oxide levels must be good. Can anybody explain the topic of Nitric-Oxide production on the Carnivore Diet?
Nitric oxide is produced by your body, using the amino acid L-Arginine present in many foods, animal or plant. L-Citrulline first found in watermelons has recently headlined as another key player that can be stored longer and converted into L-Arginine for use in the body. Many body builders suggest mega-dosing with both amino acids, especially L-Citrulline as it's harder to get "enough" with food. My best understanding, however, is that NO- has two functions: reducing inflammation, and increasing blood flow. So, how much is "enough" to increase blood flow when you have no significant inflammation to fix? Eating a pre-neolithic ancestral diet is generally a good idea for all health issues, and as you indicated, it seems to be working for you. It's probably because you're not being inflamed by all that kale, arugula, polyunsaturated oils and sugar! Keep up the good work!
Working on year 3 of my animal based diet. I'll never go back. I say animal based because i do consume carbs from animals such as raw dairy, eggs and honey for my workouts
Good for you. Those carbs are not a problem. The problem. Your insulin doesn't get crazy spikes. I cant drink milk by I can eat cheese for some reason.. Also, just remember that when the egg is raw ur nt gna digest the protein.. maybe 50% of it.
@@KR-jg7gc the bugs that make cheese eat off most of the lactose in many (not all)cheeses, that's why many are tolerable to lactose intolerant folk. Side note: similarly not sure if the bugs in Kefir eat enough of the lactose to make that also tolerable - I like getting lacto bacilus buddies - was shown to make mice or rats more life striving/optimistic - then again maybe that's a bad thing if one doesn't know when to quit LOL.
How your vegetables are grown, and your grains, is something folks aren't bothering to talk about! The veggies of yesteryear are not the veggies of today.
The carnivore diet was the only diet I’ve really lost real weight and felt strong , and my intestines work amazing. I’m not doing now because is always the same food and I’m not a big fan of meat , and love veggies . But was the best diet ever done , and I will do it again .
Recently switched from paleo to carnivore after fluoroquinolone toxicity. Cipro ruined my life and caused numerous and severe food allergies. The change in diet seems to have calmed the flares. Fasting is even more effective for the neurogenic pain. However, I found out that I am compound heterozygous MTHFR. Is there any dietary suggestions/recommendations you can give for those on carnivore with MTHFR? To everyone, unless your life depends on it never take this class of antibiotics. Best.
I'll try to answer this on Dr Paul's behalf; In his many podcasts, he has mentioned Avocados in a group of "oily fruits", which includes olives and avocados; the group of plants in the LEAST toxic (said spectrum). In fact, squash (that's our pumpkin I think?), avocados, olives, iceberg lettuce and small amounts of berries are mentioned in that group of plants. He's big on raw (wild) honey too. Once metabolically healthy, he believes in getting some carbs from honey (and occasionally squash) to help with metabolic flexibility and that this keeps blood glucose levels lower, perhaps counter-intuitively, in the longer term. He doesn't necessarily recommend these carbs when "metabolically broken". He enjoys looking into these nuances.
Thank you for your explanation Gary I appreciate you taking the time. I eat 1 avocado everyday for the fat and potassium. I also have a little cacao and coconut the rest of my diet is animal based.
Just a quibble, but sometimes plants do want to be eaten. Certain plants create berries that are very visible and very delicious. Some plants take advantage of animals' ability to travel. Life is a lot more complex than this guy allows, notwithstanding that he has good points to make.
I've experimented with raising and lowering the proportions of animal-based food in my diet, and the results are interesting. At this point I'm not sold on carnivore being ideal for myself, but I can definitely agree that animal foods are largely good and veg are less crucial than I thought.
Just a thought, but the body can become addicted to some plant molecules, especially in fruits as this helps them propagate. These molecules include all sugars, oxalates, theobromine, caffeine, and probably more. While increasing animal food intake has many benefits, cutting out foods you're hooked on can temporarily cause significant symptoms at the same time. This is one possible explanation for your results being interesting instead of definitive.
I went carnivore and it's saved my life. I went from being constantly fatigued, arthritic, heart pains and murmurs, depressed and diabetic at THIRTY TWO, to having plentiful energy, good glucose levels, healthy joints and heart and finally happy. For the past year I've eaten nothing but ruminant meat and salt, free range eggs and bone broth soup for drinks. I was on track to kill myself instead of living a real life.
@@mkshffr4936 True, and it depends greatly on the digestive health of the person as well. Good guts can handle a lot more plant toxicity, for example. That's why some people have to go 0 oxalate, phytate, lectin, gluten, etc.
Hi Paul, I have been on carnivore diet for 6 weeks now. I feel better and all the inflammation is gone out of my legs also. I started at 460 lbs lost 31 lbs the 1st 3 weeks and lost 5 lbs the next 3 weeks. With the lower number should I be worried. I love the diet I eat 2 times a day around noon and 6 at night. Do you think I should add a meal or take a meal away? All in all I love the diet thanks for all your information on the diet. Just to let you know I’m 61 years old too.
My only "criticism", such as it is, is the same criticism I have of "studies" showing the harmful effects of animal products, and that is the source and quality of the foods. For instance if a study showing animal products to be harmful does not distinguish between industrially raised/grown animal products and pastured organic sources, I dismiss the study out of hand. And I have to give these studies on the flip side the same scrutiny, because the food I grow in my garden and the food you buy at Walmart, and the food that was probably given these test subjects, are not the same. But otherwise, great talk. I am keto-paleo and I have never looked or felt better.
Your talk was well organized and presented, Dr. Saladino. I almost peed my pants when I saw the term, "Unicorn Farts." lmao Haven't heard that one before, so thank you for that!
I am 39 yrs old, I have asthma and epilepsy, I am 5'9" and I weigh about 320lbs. I lost my hair at 25. I been over weight since about the age 6 when I got diagnosed with my medical conditions and my parents had gotten divorced. I tried keto. It worked but I got to obsessive on it. I was counting carbs in things that were free and I counted carbs in everything. I lost 26lbs in about a little less than a month. I drove myself crazy. I have now decided to try the carnivore diet. I have seen a lot of success with it including one story from some with my same conditions. What do you all think? Do you think the diet would be a good fit? Just asking opinions is all. I will talk to my primary care physician.
A high fat carnivore diet. Look up PKD diet, and listen to the Hungarian doctors discuss it. One is named Szofia, I believe. Scientific approach to various disease states. I tried it, it WORKED.
@Justin Russell Not sure about your primary care physician, as mainstream doctors completely against the carnivore diet. They will always claimed saturation fat, red meat and cholesterol bad for us, cause heart disease like heart attack/stroke , overweight and etc. As you know carnivore diet is not for everybody, is more for healing purposes like autoimmune, inflammation, joint pain and arthritis, skin issues, dementia and etc. The side effect of this diet is that you lose weight and achieved ideal diet ( your body will know when) . Once you commit to carnivore and become much more healthier, you will feel motivated and live to the fullest. Be aware if you cheat eat certain fruit, vegetables or certain carbo,you pain return temporarily. Best do your research through youtubes by Dr. Mason under youtube Down Under ( this same TH-cam) he provided lots of scientific medical data reports saturation fat and cholesterol , and he is also in sport and nutritionist for athletes. Also see Nina Teicholz red meat ( also in this Down Under TH-cam), and the above Dr.Paul Saladino where he presented 2 bloodworks on youtube (meat organ only diet) and the other bloodwork ( meat fruit honey). Also see youtube by EONutrition titled "Low Oxalate Diet Done Right" for mostly plant vegetables and small amt in fruits like vegetables. You may have to conduct experiments so you know well what you can eat and what not to eat for you alone. Hope these help🙂 ps.. carnivore too have factions.. a) lion diet ( jus beef, lamb,bison), b) all types of meat organ and byproducts, and c) meat organs , animal byproducts and fruits honey .
I worked it out it would take me a whole year to eat through 1 cow. I eat one meal a day carnivore, consists of around 400g of meat and a couple of eggs. I have chickens so the eggs are free, the chickens are helping with pest control in the garden. when im organised I buy my meat from a paddock to plate farmer so its grass fed about 10k up the road. Meanwhile the vegan or vegetarian eats vegetables that are grown all over the world. Drinking almond milk when most of the almonds are grown in the USA so they have to be flown to where I live across the world, not to mention the pesticides, the fertilizers that are used on mostly mono grown crops. 16 months in on the carnivore diet not always super strict but mostly, my hair has grown so thick, my tryglicerides are lower than my doctors (he was shocked) my cholestorol has gone up a little which I dont mind at all, Im feeling so much stronger, no more aching joints. I think to succeed on this diet you have to think of food as refueling and not be a foody, but its nice not thinking about food and eating once a day with no hunger is really good. 21kilo down in weight so far with a little bit more to go - thank you carnivore diet! I wish I could get the rest of the family to do the same but its like talking to brick walls.
Carnivore 1 year now, If it wasn't for Dr. Paul Saladino, Dr. Shawn Baker and Dr. Ken Berry I would still be extremely sick unable to walk or have a life. I have Lupus but you would never know it now. Lost 30 pounds and still losing, No more fatigue, I am a completely active 58 yr old woman now, jump out of bed everyday at 6:00 am, zero pain ever !! Thank you Dr Paul Saladino, your video's are life changing !
And I bet your libido is back in action 🤣🤣
@@KR-jg7gc what the?
@Mihai Balint There's no link between saturated fat and ill health, how could there be
@Mihai Balint listen to Dr Nadir Ali a cardiologist...debunks your theory...
@Mihai Balint tu chiar crezi asta?
We humans can get by on almost any diet, but there's a difference between *getting by* and *thriving*.
Exactly, the difference between surviving and thriving. And it can take decades for the body to break down, making it very hard to tease apart the sources.
Veganism kills infants so arguable.
So, with this said....why do some believe fat in our cells blocks glucose from entering and vice versa.....it appears that if you do either or, your body compensates and markers change according to food
Funny that be had eczema and cured it from a carnivore diet. My brother did the same as a vegan.
Humans are carnivores with temporary options.
The carnivore diet has given me my life back. According to my mother, I was “born constipated.” As an infant, my pediatrician recommended adding karo syrup to my formula to help me poop. It only helped a little, but it certainly turned me into the Michelin baby! I was on the chunky side as a kid, despite being active in dance and gymnastics. I should also add that I primarily ate fruits and vegetables and I continued to be suuuuper constipated and suffered from chronic nausea and stomach pain. When I finally saw a specialist as a tween, I was told that there was nothing wrong with me, but that I needed to see a psychiatrist. I spent the remainder of my teenage years seeing therapist after therapist. I got a bit slimmer due to increased physical activity, but the psychotherapy did absolutely nothing to help my constant stomach pain. After college, I moved to LA and became a (dun, dun, DUN...) VEGAN. At that point, I was having to get colonics every week and take 5+ aloe vera capsules just to poop at all. And I **felt** like poop to boot. I thought veganism was supposed to be the pinnacle of health! In a possibly unrelated turn of events, I also developed multiple sclerosis. Now, I’m not claiming “post hoc ergo propter hoc,” but I’m also not ruling out the diathesis-stress model. Again, my doctors repeatedly dismissed my medical issues and referred me to psychiatrists. At long last, I got a proper diagnosis and my doctor told me to start eating meat immediately. There was some improvement, but I was still eating tons of fruits and vegetables because my doctor had recommended the paleo diet. I learned to manage the MS symptoms fairly quickly and, to be fair, I have a very “mild” case of MS. But the constipation was intolerable. I somehow managed to get a master’s degree and I became a psychological researcher and a marriage and family therapist, but I could do little more than go to class a few times a week, see clients for the absolute bare minimum hours per week that were required to complete the internship, and the rest of my time was spent taking laxatives and waiting for them to kick in. So here I am with all these credentials, but no energy to put them to good use. During the pandemic, I watched a lot of videos on TH-cam and I stumbled upon a video about the carnivore diet. I had read The Fiber Menace, and had cut out all fruit as well as high fiber vegetables, but it wasn’t enough. I went all-in with the carnivore diet and had the first easy, normal, complete bowel movement of my entire life within a few days. I’ve been a carnivore for 6 weeks now and I’m thriving! Did it cure MS? No. I will always have MS, but the symptoms are even easier to manage now that my stomach doesn’t hurt all the time. Actually, my stomach doesn’t hurt AT ALL. I am so appreciative of medical professionals who think beyond what conventional medicine teaches. The carnivore diet has given me genuine freedom for the first time in my life. From the bottom of my healthy heart, THANK YOU.
I would not be surprised if carnivore cures your MS in the long run.
Congrats, that's cool to hear
Awesome 👏🏽
Good for you! Like yourself, I had chronic constipation and IBS as long as I can remember, and I worked my way through vegetarianism, paleo, and keto before I found out that it was fiber causing my main problems. I’ve been meat-based ketovore, but not fully carnivore for almost a month now, and I absolutely thrive on it. It’s good to see others like yourself stumble onto the same knowledge and put it into practice with amazing results!
Great comment. What a journey. Be well.
I am 60 & was bedridden with diffuse pain after years of eating a Mediterranean-type diet. After only 2 weeks on a carnivore diet I experienced periods of being pain-free and energetic. After 4 months on carnivore I continue to have longer and longer times of being pain-free. My body is finally healing through dietary changes alone.
That's sensational news. Keep up the good work.

Ate junk food on the vegan diet?
Vegan made me sicker than ever for years
@@SenorJuan2023 when I was vegan I ate a mix of junk and healthy food. I felt good on the Vegan diet personally, but when I did carnivore for a similar amount of time, I felt better. When I was a vegan most of my diet was about 20 supplements to make up for some of the deficiencies it creates, I ate a shitload of tortilla chips and hummus. I also spent a lot of time at taco bell with the bean burrito fresca style. The only thing I cheated with was dha from animals, because you can't get it even in an artificial form as a vegan. They claim you can gain it from seaweed, but there is no evidence humans utilize the nutrients in seaweed to naturally create dha
Thank our human ancestors, not the alleged “experts” of today. These so called experts only repeat what people have been doing for thousands of years. Until processed foods came with “progress” and technology. As humans we regress rather than progress.

Amazing what I've learned in this lecture. My doctors have been treating me wrong all these years and it explains why I've been getting worse.

Even with the results, they're trying to talk me out of the regimen and back on their program...NEVER!
How are you doing now 👀
We should never tell our drs about our improvements when we try new things, they don't care about you. Imagine you have improve, but they want you to go back to the old way. Says a lot
That's what doctors do. I study medicine, I should know.
@Life-is-a-mist we the people like to do what the drs say, but I find they know very little. The pharmaceuticals have them under their controls. If any dr goes against them, they get fired or sued. We have to stop running to the pharmacies for every pain pill they recommend. Imagine 99 pills on the market for diabetes. I am in my 77th year and happy to say not even an aspirinin my cabinet.

It's so refreshing for something I've been feeling for years and everybody knocking me that when I eat more fat and meat I feel better and everybody kept doctors saying I was wrong and out of my mind so thank God this is finally made it out into the open and possibly have saved my life along with many others thank you

Diet is a word that means “way of life”. People misinterpret the word
I live on a farm area in South Africa. I recently picked up 4 stone tools (knife-like structures) , 2 of which are still sharp enough to cut meat. This leaves little doubt in my mind that we ate meat.
Wow! Thats fkin cool!
Perhaps those tools are in some way significant paleoanthropological finds. I suggest that you take them to the anthropology department at your nearest university and see if they think they are of any interest. Take accurate note of where you found them, since it might be an important site for a future dig!
I live in Europe. I recently picked up 5 stone tools (knife-like and sickle-like structures) , 3 of which are still sharp enough to cut and harvest ancient edible grasses such as buckwheat, fire finch (amaranth) etc. This leaves little doubt in my mind that we ate plants ;-)

Thank you SO much Paul Saladino. My autoimmune issues have improved so much since I went carnivore. I have SO much less pain. I have listened to lots of your podcasts and LOVE that you invite guests that don't necessarily agree with you so you can have some respectful, healthy debate.
Been on carnivore for one month. 8kg lost. Weird dry patch of skin on my foot has started to clear up. My performance in the gym is noticeabley better, both energy for cardio and lifting. I haven't felt this great this great since I was in my 20s.
As an Indian, who was born in a vegetarian family. It was considered grossly sinful to eat meat. We had a set of tenants who had wrongfully occupied our land and were highly muscular meat eating family. My mother raised me and other brothers inspiring/urging us to get stronger, and more muscular, but on the other hand we had no idea about what is the right food eat after intense workout. On top of that my mother always fed us high sugar content milk tea to which i was addicted until a few years ago. I could never figure out the reason for good health of the tenant family until a few years ago. While i was always working out intensely in teen ages, i couldn't grow beyond a certain point in my physical size. There was always misinformation spread in Indian society about vegetarianism being the most healthy way of living. Luckily some content of milk in the tea might have helped me acquire a certain cognitive ability to be able to diagnose my own ailments.
This guy is amazing, because of him and few others on TH-cam, I now understand how to human body works and foods that are good for us, In 5 months lost a Ton of weight by doing fasting and carnivore diet. Thanks for the information
I think it’s very interesting how so many people are turning to this diet and are getting so healthy yet the powers that be, through “the great reset” and “the green new deal” want to ban meat eating for everyone and have Bill Gates fake meat distributed as the only source of “meat.” Beyond Meat for all.

First of all the prob with eating at Burger King is not the meat! It’s the bun, all the fake stuff, the fries, Prob mostly the 44 oz coke, and the Hershey pie i used to throw in. If I could go there and just get a bunch of meat patties it wouldn’t be so bad not great due to the meat quality but far better than any value meal. Oh yeah, drink water. Don’t drink calories people!
It's so rare that I hear the word SALICYLATES on the net. I've been suffering for forty years.

Never in a million years did I think I would eat only meat and fish.
......Same here. I never bought steaks for 57 years of my life. I always thought steaks were bad and would clog up my heart. In the last 3 weeks I bought about 20 steaks and now I’m losing weight. I mainly eat just 4 foods-steak, bacon, butter and cheese

I first got interested in green issues over 40 years ago . At that time overpopulation was front and centre of the ecological argument . Even though I have been on the vegetarian / vegan spectrum for most of that time , I am completely baffled as to how this ' eat less meat to save the planet ' idea became so easily accepted . Industrialised agriculture just trashes biodiversity and top soil health . Green is not always good . My county of Kent UK used to be covered in orchards full of seasonal fruit . Most of those have gone and been replaced by wheat fields and the euro seed oil crop - rapeseed . To see these crops ( which are subsidised by governments ) grown in large amounts for no good reason is very depressing . Moreover the farmers ripped up miles of biodiverse hedgerows so they could maximise the land for crop yields . The good news ( !? ) is that the farmers now get subsidies to put hedgerows back or to set aside small areas for re-wilding . .
Wow! Very impressed with his delivery of this important information!!! It has changed my life.
I LIVE on this diet...and low carb/carnivoure has saved my life, and vastly improved the lives of many people I know.
How so?
In mental terms, carnivore diet is like a long term sustained version of Bradley Cooper's film "Limitless".
Can't believe how it has transformed my insight and acumen. No kidding.
@The Deathless 3 fold - calmness under pressure, I feel unflappable. - faster, more accurate insight, I seem to grasp things faster than before, and am more correct in my predictions or assessments. - much more decisive, I choose a course if action quicker, and execute and follow through with much greater ease.
I was not mentally compromised, but as a 40something finance professional i feel like my 20 something self . I ate crap in my 30s but got back in shape physically at the end. This diet makes me feel mentally back in shape, but , better than ever actually!

When I first heard about fasting and the carnivore diet and Keto it was almost like a light bulb went off in my head. So much of what Saladino, Jason Fung, Ken Berry, and Sean Baker makes sense. There are still days when I struggle with carb and sugar addiction but I'm making progress. I'm 33 still overweight but I feel better than when I was 18. I wish I could thank these guys in person for changing my life.
That's wonderful!
If only the doctors above would apply their inquisitive take on health to the sciences. Every one of them supporting evolution but going against the S.A.D. is extremely ironic.
I know the sugar addiction, it sucks the life out of you, Keep it up!! you finally get to claim back your life and will do great. Like you said some bad days, but gradually this nightmare will be behind you.
Carb cravings come from eating carbs; vicious cycle.
If craving, then eat a protein like beef. It will shut down the cravings.
Craving is also from body seeking nutrients.
Carbs have poor levels of nutrients which don’t absorb into cells well.
The healthiest I've ever been and the best I ever felt was when I ate only ribeyes and scrambled eggs for 6-8 months. Everything from my skin to my digestive tract to my immune system to my sleep, all noticeably improved. Wish I could afford to stay on it.
Think you'd feel much the same benefits on eggs and bacon rather than ribeyes. Plenty of cheaper cuts seem to work just as well for me. Sardines too. Think it's the eggs doing much of the important work, to be honest.
I just started the carnivore diet. Into it 6 days. I've had no cravings, sleep better, and pains that affected my whole body are leaving. Thanks to Dr. Berry and the Petersons for enlightening me on this way of eating. Now my husband is doing it too.

Not amazing or surprising whatsoever when you understand nutrition.
i can't believe i found this comment immediately. i came to the comments to say that. that is trippy, he genuinely looks older in 2009. bizarre. oh, no, hold on, veganism = dying... carnivore = thriving.

Is it actually true? I could not find it online. Do u have a link?
@@leoceoliveira He says that he was vegan in the above video.
On the plant defense strategy I believe plants function far more on a "altruism" standard since they cannot escape their predator. They attempt to "poison" their predatory and send out signaling chemicals in their area indicating they are under attack and others in their species should up their defensive "poison" content in their cells. People forget plant flora has been at war for millions of years with slower moving insects before the first vertebrate climbed out of the sea.

I don't think fasting is a must but uts very beneficial
Congrats on the 3day fasting
That’s 4 meals a week. Of what would those meals consist?
Thank you so much for this. It explains so many of my fatigues as a child and youth even up until today. The past year I have tested both vegan AND complete meat/animal product only diets for months each, and I came to the very same conclusion: - The hunter-gatherer Palaeolithic/neolithic diets, pre-agriculture made me far better in all aspects, from energy, to general well-being, overall health and so on.
I live in Oslo Norway, a city which has its share of pollutants, exhaust etc. but most of my problems turned out to be dietary, and I suddenly became very aware that I had not been getting enough B12, D3, or K2 in my "normal" / bread-potato-plant based diets that had been my main source for decades. I suddenly understood both the cravings for meat, liver-pate, and fish - and remembered how fatigued I was all the time when I trusted just to bread and potatoes etc to sustain me throughout the days.
Meat got a very bad "rep" in Norway back in the 70's and 80s when I grew up - as if it was somehow "sinful", extravagant or a sign of waste or something only really wasteful rich people did. Very culturally based and biased you might say, form the old very harsh protestantic religious values of the 1800's that still echoed even into those decades.
As the 1990s came, I think we all became aware of the hunter gatherer based diet, and discussions were all the rage that entire decade, and I remember I always felt that yes, the more natural thing for a human being back then must have been hunting and meat, since really energy rich plants are almost nowhere to be found here in Scandinavia, most certainly before the potato.
Your reply is so helpful! Thanks
I love carnivore. When I have cheated on carbs, I get so incredibly ill and blah. When I introduce some veggies, I get belly ache. As soon as I go back carnivore I feel fantastic high energy.
I actually laughed out loud at your polyphenol deficiency into "that's the end of my talk" part. Lol good humor.
Same, that was really funny.
I’ve been searching on TH-cam “ carnivore diet “ for weeks now and for some reason, on 9-19-21, this just popped up as the first video on my feed. I just listened to your audiobook on audible, several times over the last 3 weeks. Great information my man, Godspeed. You’ve made a lifelong carnivore out of this guido
Why isn’t this more well known? It makes a lot of sense. I usually can’t sit through a lecture and feel engaged the entire time but this was great to watch
it's a huge threat to grain, sugar and drug empires. You will never see this on youtube until you search fer it. it's algorithmically hidden.

Thanks for the caveat 'not everyone' n=1 be your own experiment. I am a confirmed CARNIVORE - however I'm very hyperinsulinemic T2DM - 2.5 yrs remission, post menopausal, sadly I can not eat protein ad libitum, otherwise my A1c starts climbing back into diabetic range, I'm knocked out of ketosis and become starving hungry. So I do low carb, moderate protein and HIGH saturated fats Keto diet so pass the beef dripping! My idea of a cheat is a whole steak, this will be my celebratory goal weight meal - 4 lbs to go!
High HBA1C in low carb eating is not an indicator of bad health. Readings come high because Hb live for more than 3 months causing higher reading. This test is an indicator of protein glycation as a result of high BS. My blood sugar remains from 65 when fasting to 125 after Carnivore meals. There is no way this amount of BS causes abnormal glycation as shown by my 6.1 HBA1C reading.. Dr Darren Schmidt has explained in some video.
Mind.Blown. I'm on day 6 of carnivore, and I love it. I'm waiting for my brain to take a turn to help me sleep better, I still believe it's still adjusting from running on sugar for sleep to running on fat for sleep. I believe I will have better sleep once I am fat adapted. I also believe in radical living and am very excited for the future and to be a better example of HEALTH to my family!
YOu kay not sleep as much as you will have better quality sleep and more energy
After three weeks of quite high fat paleo keto my sleep began deteriorating : (. Though otherwise my health/inflammation improved markedly. A conundrum . . .
An idea would be to save ones little bit of veggie/carb input for the evening meal, and not be high keto heading to bed. A thought I am experimenting with.

Weirdest thing happened to me today, (warning, kinda gross) I was doing some exercises on my yoga mat and a large chunk of my eczema on my knee cap broke off my knee. I further noticed that about 80% of it had healed over the past two weeks since I've cut out ALL plants and incorporating LOTS of organs. It was like the rotten parts of my body were just flaking off. I wasn't really even paying attention to it until this happened. So, kinda interesting. I honestly don't have any psychological improvements from Carnivore, but maybe those will come later.
What kinds of organs did you eat to heal your condition? My condition is different any internal my I'm trying to figure out what organs to eat and how to do it without being grosses out. My goal is to heal very chronic and severe bladder inflammation.
Typos-- "my condition is different as it's internal, but I'm trying to figure out..."
@@alexandramiller4098
A way to eat organs …
Example:
•Ancestral Health organic beef liver in capsules.
•Get butcher to finely grind liver and have ground beef mixed with the liver 90% to 10%.
•As you get used to it, you can increase % of liver to ground beef.
•Don’t overcook liver itself.
Cook in bacon fat.
Only eat small amounts of liver as you acquire a taste; the rest from capsules.
•You might eventually add in heart, liver, kidney etc
@@alexandramiller4098 All organs are good, but don't over do it. Eat them in the same proportions as you find them in an animal. As time goes on, you'll find your body will tell you when it needs them. Supplements are OK, but you won't have the instinctive ability to know if you need them or not.
@@sportysbusiness Great advice.
Last week, after watching your video, I quit my 2-year keto diet and started the carnivore diet. I am already feeling the difference. My bloating is gone, and I am feeling better. In 3 months, I will do a blood test and hope my cholesterol and kidney function will be normal.

Triglycerides will drop
HDL will go up

What I love most about Dr Saladino is that he doesn't sound condescending at all; Just a genuine caring dude. While almost every single vegan advocate acts likes they are the superior masterminds and we are all dumbasses who don't know what's right.
I was thinking about something. Could that be that our body is really good at digesting one type of food at once . Our ancestors wouldn’t eat a salad + meat + fruits. I wonder if we just eat rice at lunch and nothing else, or just a piece of meat, or just avocados. What would happen ? Wouldn’t we be more efficient at absorbing the nutrients and digesting etc. In the carnivore books, Paul talk about the anti body of plants that reduce the absorption of iron etc .
Exactly!
yes, look up "food combining". You should be able to find supporting info about this topic. bottomline we are not really meant to consume multiple macros at the same time - it works only because the enzymes overlap which equates to their least efficient means of digestion. For example a protein should only take about 2hrs or so to digest, but when mixed with starch, will take upwards of 6hrs due to inefficiency.
Almost all the diets overlook the basics of straightforward digestion science.
Good observation
@@atoms.channel However, the faster the digestion (of, say, a steak) the higher the glucose rush from that portion that is above protein needs, I would think.
For sure the same goes with the 'bowl of rice' idea - the science says no-go.

@Mike Jones sadly that's basically 99% of all plant foods. But with special cooking methods, fermentation and peeling the skin you can avoid many of the antinutrients but not everything listed is an antinutrient. It would be easier to list what you can actually eat in small amounts.
@Mike Jones Here are the only plant based foods that from my research I have found to be "safe" but you still should eat them in moderation. All these foods now are very low in most of the items in my list with some exceptios that I will explain how to avoid.
Hemp seeds: high oxalates. Fermentation is needed to reduce them. 36 hours in water, 3 tbs odmf salt and one tablespoon of lemon or apple vinegar per every cup. Bake them after fermentation until dry. You can eat them safety after that process. Why the effort is worth? This little f*ers hace extremely high amounts of magnesium which is hard to get naturally from food. The potassium content is also good and omega 3.
Zuchinni: high lectins/high salicylate. Avoid it by peeling the skin and removing all seeds. Stir fry them in butter at high temp. No more than two per day.
Bell Pepper high lectins. Same method as zuchini. No more than one medium size or 4 small ones per day.
Brocolli (heads only): high salicylates /high glucosinolates. Stir fry them in butter at high temperature. Only 5 per day.
Carrott: moderate salicylates/moderate oxalates. Same method a zuchini. Up to 4 a day.
Green beans moderate phytates/moderate oxalates. Stir fry in butter at high temperature. A handful a day is acceptable.
Avocado half a day or 1/4 if is a big avocado.
Pili nuts high lectins and phylates. Soak them in salt water for 24 hours and bake them or sun dry them. A handful is fine this nuts are incredible because of the high monosaturaded fat which is strange in nuts. They have basically zero carb and lots of nutrients.
Now the best ones:
Chayote (and a actual fruit). Low in everything! Still you want to peel the skin and remove the seed and you will have the only plant based food with zero toxins and antinutrients. This is a fruit but cock it like a vegetable. Eat as many as you wish.
Macadamia. Really incredible nut. Low in everything and virtually zero if you soak them in water and bake them. Eat as many as you wish.
There is nothing else out there sorry... I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.

Read “the obesity code” by Jason Fung. It’s all about hormone control, specifically insulin
Yes Amazing isn't it! That this little old hormone can defy basic laws of energy that nothing else that we know of can. It allows us to magically create energy out of nothing and store it even if we use use more energy than we take in.
Reasons I would thumb this up: Fung is onto a lot of good stuff and he helped me a lot at the beginning of my journey
Reasons I won't: most people following Saladino have already heard most of what Fung has to say, and it's not *everything* when it comes to metabolic science. Kinda like Toyota making a nice 50mpg hybrid and pretending 20 years later that fully electric vehicles still aren't better.
Ryan De Witt the body is not a fire. Your body has hormones and raises and lowers metabolism based on the environment. It doesn’t break the laws of physics, it follows biochemistry and physiology...
@@Ryan_DeWitt calorie counting is fundamentally flawed.
If you look at standard values for a marathon run, apparently 2600 calories are burnt.
But then there are people who burn literally only 500 calories. I am one of them.
These people have to work harder to burn 2600 calories. Probably have to to run 100km.
The reason is simple. Metabolism.
Look, the body is far more efficient at extracting energy than you realize.
Sometimes you burn upto 10 times the energy on a certain activity and other times you store 10 times more.
Look up "Bulldog Mindset" on TH-cam.
He runs 60 miles per week, gym three times a week for 2 hr sessions, and kickboxing 3 times a week.
Guess how many meals he eats.
One Meal a Day. OMAD.
He isn't your stereotypical bodybuilder who spends his entire time in the kitchen and consuming 10,000 calories a day.
And he's swole.
Everything you know about mainstream nutritional science is bullshit and it's like that because companies want to sell you products.
*Wanna build muscle? Here buy our protein powder, its proven with "scientific research "*
Yeah that kind of stuff.
Same with vegan and sugar industry. They wanna sell you stuff.
If I inject insulin without eating at all, will I become obese?
Getting into fermenting vegetables. Apparently bell peppers have 3 times what oranges have and fermenting them increases it to 12 times that, so in total 36 times. It is also really good for gut microbiome and building immunity.
How do you ferment your bell peppers? (remove innards, and mash with salt - how much salt) is that all. Pour water on top, and lid it. Leave on counter?
Thank you Dr. Saladino for the very informative lecture.
Since going carni I've not had a single gout attack. I used to have one every couple of months for many of my adult years.
I want my hubby to try this for his but he’s worried about acidity and the dr saying not too. Best I’ve got is him eating keto
What about fermented foods and sea vegetables?
Fermented foods generally are a hard no as they cause expansion in your gut which leads to pain. Besides that they are not necessary, and are generally not carnivore. Occasional kombu seaweed won't have much of an impact on you but it's still not strictly carnivore.
I tuned into this video so I could hear the “debunked side” of Carnivore. I try to be someone who is willing to step out of my belief system and hear the other side, which is so rare these days. Imagine my surprise that this was the most awesome video ever validating carnivore!!!!! Not to mention you are hilarious. Many of these Zoom talks are like watching paint dry. I totally agree with what you said about the brain and carnitine. When I went carnivore, coming from a 25 year long plant based diet, my husband asked me how I felt after a week on it. My first answer was “I feel smarter!!!”. I couldn’t believe how my brain was working better then I ever remember. Thank you for this. I hope to persuade my fellow vegan friends to watch....but unfortunately they probably won’t want to challenge their belief system.
Hi there. Just wondering why you "left" veganism. Our son has become vegan since moving to Europe in 2019 to study (we are NZ sheep and beef farmers would you believe). I worry about his health.
I was looking for opposing arguments, yet this guy sealed the deal for me. I've been carnivore for 3-4 weeks and I feel great and make much fewer mistakes now.
I’m enjoying and learning a lot from this talk, thank you Dr Saladino.
One question, which vegetables are the least toxic? I want to continue eating vegetables while moving to a diet of more meat.
Lectin free veggies, such as avoid root and seed vegetables.
There are numerous studies showing people who had moderate consumption of alcohol (2 to 3 drinks a day) live longer than non drinkers. In the Mediterranean, some of the longest lived populations live on islands and consume alcohol, mostly red wines, regularly. They also are primarily plant eaters. It appears that grains are not a major component of their diet, at least in the form of breads, but they do consume various forms of pasta. There is almost no processed food, as in the west, and when they eat meat, it is often chicken and goat or lamb the kill themselves. Surprisingly, fish is eaten only rarely. My observation is that they are not obese, but not exactly skinny either. They possess a joie de vivre surpassing most of what I've witnessed in the west.
I wonder how much the stresses of modern urbanized and polluted environments shorten our lives almost as much as processed food.
Day 3 and I'm already fat adapted!
This diet is magical.
Zero crashes or tummy aches.
I was on a red meat heavy carnivore diet and it ruined my sleep. I felt terrible after a few days. Keto with added avocado but less protein was far better for me for some months. Then it too ruined my sleep. I have been on a low carb but not quite keto Mediterranean diet heavy on veggies and I’ve felt amazing for six months with no sign of diminishing returns. That’s my anecdote. I notice a lot of people writing anecdotes and it’s important not to forget we have individual differences.
This should work:
th-cam.com/video/erBJuxVR7IE/w-d-xo.html
was it actually the carnivore red meat diet you were on that ruined your sleep or does your body need a detox from metals, mold etc. ? Have a look for dr darren shmidt on youtube he talks a lot about that stuff
So are you telling us you are a natural herbivore like a antelope a cow a bison, a water buffalo, a giraffe, a reindeer, a giant ground sloth, a rhinoceros, a Paraceratherium?? Fascinated science needs to study you seriously
I have no problem sleeping
I love meat.
I'm vibrant and healthy.
I raise my own meat
When started off with, "The Carnivore Diet is bonkers", I almost shut the video off.
4 years ago I went low carb high fat with fasting to reverse Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, and a legion of other health issues. As I progressed I moved to keto, then protein focused, then to carnivore. This was an all natural transition, not forced. I still have the odd fruit or vegetable, but they are minimal. My health is great, and has been for 3 1/2 years.

@@tc9634 dead meat probably not... your own meat/muscles probably
LOL...the feeling is mutual!
Brilliant, entertaining and informative presentation. Your delivery is too good Dr. Saladino.
Paul, Any insight into foods to help female endometriosis? My girl has been diagnose and there is so much B.S. out there. Can you tell me anything about true foods to avoid and to keep/ Thank you.
What impact does fermentation have on say cabbage for instance or other vegetables toxins?
Thanks Dr. S., for being a champion for our health!
I wanted to share this video on my social media but then I thought, no don’t Amy because it means more meat for us 😁
But the warm thanks that desperate people trying anything to get better give you after they try it because of your recomendations are priceless
😈😈😈
Choices: Be a humanitarian and strive to help others.
Or: Be a self serving person focused mainly on getting and having enough to sustain oneself.
Exactly I wish everyone would stop trying to convert the vegans or veggies to eat meat let them eat their beans and lentils more meat for us 😎
@@BRM101 maybe one day Drs can prescribe a carnivore diet for those that need it for health reasons. Our planet could not sustain this many humans on a carnivore diet.
I think for people who are used to high amounts of carbohydrates should slowly wean themselves onto lower carbs, its incredibly hard to give up sugar and it'll increase the rate of success over straight going 0 carb sugars.
It's interesting to me that when historical novels describe the meals the rich ate in the early 1800s, it's one fish or meat dish after another with a small bowl of potatoes or some sort of vegetables, but it's obvious that it's mainly meat they're eating often with rich sauces. I always thought that was kinda weird, but maybe they knew something we don't.
41:34 I'm one of those women. I have interstitial cystitis, which is a pelvic pain disorder. There's a list of foods that trigger pain, and anything with high oxalates is on either the "it'll probably cause a flare up" list or the "avoid like the plague" list. Interestingly enough, there are no meats on either of those lists (except artificially cured meats and highly processed meat products and such). I'm watching this video because lately, everything I eat causes a flare up. Well, everything except plain meat. IC is a mystery illness, but some doctors think it's autoimmune. So, it's all making sense what you're saying. A lot of people do better on a paleo diet, but I bet nobody would dare mention the carnivore diet in a support group. It just sounds too crazy. Well you know what else is crazy? My bladder attacking itself and doctors having no idea why. I can't wait to try this and see if I can finally live without pain.

You need to watch this video.
I really should go back on the carnivore diet. My digestive system never worked so well.
Just went “carnivore-ish” a few days ago and I feel absolutely fantastic. Wheat and most vegetables/fruits destroy my stomach 🤷🏻♀️
Edit: it’s been three weeks and I’m down about ten pounds and almost two pant sizes!
Awesome, good job! do you count calorie intake?
@@johnkowalsky1988 sorry just saw this!! But no I don’t count calories. Just eat until I’m full :-)
How’s it going now? Starting this on Tuesday💜
carnivore-ish consisting only of red meat, organ meat, eggs, butter, fruits, and premium ice cream is the way to go
I've got to be honest...I jumped on the Whole Food Based Diet Kick because I am 54 and wanted to have clear blood vessels. Those professionals pushing Plant-Based claim that eating green leafy vegetables like Kale and Arugula will increase your body's Nitric-Oxide. I tried it for 4 weeks and had nothing but bad gas and stomach issues to the point I could not go to meetings and family gatherings despite all efforts to make adjustments like removing beans and cabbage. Oh, and I was hungry all the time. So I gave carnivore a try and I can say by eating a 50/50 ratio of fat /Protein I have more energy and have great pumps in my workouts. So my Nitric-oxide levels must be good. Can anybody explain the topic of Nitric-Oxide production on the Carnivore Diet?
Nitric oxide is produced by your body, using the amino acid L-Arginine present in many foods, animal or plant. L-Citrulline first found in watermelons has recently headlined as another key player that can be stored longer and converted into L-Arginine for use in the body. Many body builders suggest mega-dosing with both amino acids, especially L-Citrulline as it's harder to get "enough" with food.
My best understanding, however, is that NO- has two functions: reducing inflammation, and increasing blood flow. So, how much is "enough" to increase blood flow when you have no significant inflammation to fix?
Eating a pre-neolithic ancestral diet is generally a good idea for all health issues, and as you indicated, it seems to be working for you. It's probably because you're not being inflamed by all that kale, arugula, polyunsaturated oils and sugar! Keep up the good work!
Just wanted to say this is one of the best and easy to follow videos I've ever seen, thanks Paul!
Fantastic deep dive. Thx for sharing. Question: What about mushrooms like Lion's Mane, Reishi, Chaga, etc.? Any idea what toxic effects might have?
The carnivore diet was a true and genuine life changer for me. I will not look back.
Working on year 3 of my animal based diet. I'll never go back. I say animal based because i do consume carbs from animals such as raw dairy, eggs and honey for my workouts
Good for you. Those carbs are not a problem. The problem. Your insulin doesn't get crazy spikes.
I cant drink milk by I can eat cheese for some reason..
Also, just remember that when the egg is raw ur nt gna digest the protein.. maybe 50% of it.
@@KR-jg7gc the bugs that make cheese eat off most of the lactose in many (not all)cheeses, that's why many are tolerable to lactose intolerant folk.
Side note: similarly not sure if the bugs in Kefir eat enough of the lactose to make that also tolerable - I like getting lacto bacilus buddies - was shown to make mice or rats more life striving/optimistic - then again maybe that's a bad thing if one doesn't know when to quit LOL.
I stick to the carnivore diet and man my life has changed, I tried many others including a vegan diet for a good two years and that made me far worse
Wow! Thanks for info....do you do any veggies? I ireally like the green broccoli, asparagus, greens, romaine etc.....any advice? Thanks!!
How your vegetables are grown, and your grains, is something folks aren't bothering to talk about! The veggies of yesteryear are not the veggies of today.
What about animal toxicity studies? These toxic vegetable compounds eaten by herbivores are not stored/held somewhere?
San Diego would be so amazing if it wasn't in California. Was there for 3 years, was sad to leave SD, but even happier to be out of CA.
I was losing weight and gaining energy on carnivore until Covid made it hard to get affordable meat.
The carnivore diet was the only diet I’ve really lost real weight and felt strong , and my intestines work amazing. I’m not doing now because is always the same food and I’m not a big fan of meat , and love veggies . But was the best diet ever done , and I will do it again .
Another post-vegan here (20 years) who is now carnivore leaning. Been eating more or less keto/Paleo/bulletproof for over a decade. SAVED MY LIFE.
Recently switched from paleo to carnivore after fluoroquinolone toxicity. Cipro ruined my life and caused numerous and severe food allergies. The change in diet seems to have calmed the flares. Fasting is even more effective for the neurogenic pain. However, I found out that I am compound heterozygous MTHFR. Is there any dietary suggestions/recommendations you can give for those on carnivore with MTHFR?
To everyone, unless your life depends on it never take this class of antibiotics.
Best.
Any data to back up fasting is effective for neurogenic pain? I have sciatic pain and numbness down both legs.
Me too. Neuropathy I’m my feet from cipro.
@@rayray5999 dr Ken Berry has a video on neuropathy and how he treats it.
What are your thoughts on avocado Doc?
I'll try to answer this on Dr Paul's behalf; In his many podcasts, he has mentioned Avocados in a group of "oily fruits", which includes olives and avocados; the group of plants in the LEAST toxic (said spectrum). In fact, squash (that's our pumpkin I think?), avocados, olives, iceberg lettuce and small amounts of berries are mentioned in that group of plants. He's big on raw (wild) honey too. Once metabolically healthy, he believes in getting some carbs from honey (and occasionally squash) to help with metabolic flexibility and that this keeps blood glucose levels lower, perhaps counter-intuitively, in the longer term. He doesn't necessarily recommend these carbs when "metabolically broken". He enjoys looking into these nuances.
It's the second best plant 'fat' next to coconut but doesn't have the micronutrients needed by us which are only found in animals.
I'm an avo-vore.
@@kms.garyl521 You couldn't of said it better!
Thank you for your explanation Gary I appreciate you taking the time. I eat 1 avocado everyday for the fat and potassium. I also have a little cacao and coconut the rest of my diet is animal based.
Excellent advice. Thank you muchly for sharing this very important information with us all. Take care & stay safe everybody. ❤🙂🐶
Just a quibble, but sometimes plants do want to be eaten. Certain plants create berries that are very visible and very delicious. Some plants take advantage of animals' ability to travel. Life is a lot more complex than this guy allows, notwithstanding that he has good points to make.
Fruits with seeds are a plants way of spreading seeds via the defecation of the birds and animals who eat the fruit pooping the seeds into the ground.
Does dairy fit into a carnivore diet? Cheese, yogurt, sour cream, etc?
Since they come from animals, yes.
I've experimented with raising and lowering the proportions of animal-based food in my diet, and the results are interesting. At this point I'm not sold on carnivore being ideal for myself, but I can definitely agree that animal foods are largely good and veg are less crucial than I thought.
Just a thought, but the body can become addicted to some plant molecules, especially in fruits as this helps them propagate. These molecules include all sugars, oxalates, theobromine, caffeine, and probably more.
While increasing animal food intake has many benefits, cutting out foods you're hooked on can temporarily cause significant symptoms at the same time. This is one possible explanation for your results being interesting instead of definitive.
It is possible that there is tipping point where going below a certain amount of plant based foods yields a much larger benefit.
I went carnivore and it's saved my life. I went from being constantly fatigued, arthritic, heart pains and murmurs, depressed and diabetic at THIRTY TWO, to having plentiful energy, good glucose levels, healthy joints and heart and finally happy. For the past year I've eaten nothing but ruminant meat and salt, free range eggs and bone broth soup for drinks. I was on track to kill myself instead of living a real life.
@@mkshffr4936 True, and it depends greatly on the digestive health of the person as well. Good guts can handle a lot more plant toxicity, for example. That's why some people have to go 0 oxalate, phytate, lectin, gluten, etc.
Hi Paul, I have been on carnivore diet for 6 weeks now. I feel better and all the inflammation is gone out of my legs also. I started at 460 lbs lost 31 lbs the 1st 3 weeks and lost 5 lbs the next 3 weeks. With the lower number should I be worried. I love the diet I eat 2 times a day around noon and 6 at night. Do you think I should add a meal or take a meal away? All in all I love the diet thanks for all your information on the diet. Just to let you know I’m 61 years old too.
My only "criticism", such as it is, is the same criticism I have of "studies" showing the harmful effects of animal products, and that is the source and quality of the foods. For instance if a study showing animal products to be harmful does not distinguish between industrially raised/grown animal products and pastured organic sources, I dismiss the study out of hand. And I have to give these studies on the flip side the same scrutiny, because the food I grow in my garden and the food you buy at Walmart, and the food that was probably given these test subjects, are not the same. But otherwise, great talk. I am keto-paleo and I have never looked or felt better.
Your talk was well organized and presented, Dr. Saladino. I almost peed my pants when I saw the term, "Unicorn Farts." lmao Haven't heard that one before, so thank you for that!
I am 39 yrs old, I have asthma and epilepsy, I am 5'9" and I weigh about 320lbs. I lost my hair at 25. I been over weight since about the age 6 when I got diagnosed with my medical conditions and my parents had gotten divorced. I tried keto. It worked but I got to obsessive on it. I was counting carbs in things that were free and I counted carbs in everything. I lost 26lbs in about a little less than a month. I drove myself crazy. I have now decided to try the carnivore diet. I have seen a lot of success with it including one story from some with my same conditions. What do you all think? Do you think the diet would be a good fit? Just asking opinions is all. I will talk to my primary care physician.
I think you will do great. Look op Dr. Berry on youtube. He will talk you through it!
A high fat carnivore diet. Look up PKD diet, and listen to the Hungarian doctors discuss it. One is named Szofia, I believe. Scientific approach to various disease states. I tried it, it WORKED.
@Justin Russell Not sure about your primary care physician, as mainstream doctors completely against the carnivore diet. They will always claimed saturation fat, red meat and cholesterol bad for us, cause heart disease like heart attack/stroke , overweight and etc. As you know carnivore diet is not for everybody, is more for healing purposes like autoimmune, inflammation, joint pain and arthritis, skin issues, dementia and etc. The side effect of this diet is that you lose weight and achieved ideal diet ( your body will know when) . Once you commit to carnivore and become much more healthier, you will feel motivated and live to the fullest. Be aware if you cheat eat certain fruit, vegetables or certain carbo,you pain return temporarily. Best do your research through youtubes by Dr. Mason under youtube Down Under ( this same TH-cam) he provided lots of scientific medical data reports saturation fat and cholesterol , and he is also in sport and nutritionist for athletes. Also see Nina Teicholz red meat ( also in this Down Under TH-cam), and the above Dr.Paul Saladino where he presented 2 bloodworks on youtube (meat organ only diet) and the other bloodwork ( meat fruit honey). Also see youtube by EONutrition titled "Low Oxalate Diet Done Right" for mostly plant vegetables and small amt in fruits like vegetables. You may have to conduct experiments so you know well what you can eat and what not to eat for you alone. Hope these help🙂 ps.. carnivore too have factions.. a) lion diet ( jus beef, lamb,bison), b) all types of meat organ and byproducts, and c) meat organs , animal byproducts and fruits honey .
I worked it out it would take me a whole year to eat through 1 cow. I eat one meal a day carnivore, consists of around 400g of meat and a couple of eggs. I have chickens so the eggs are free, the chickens are helping with pest control in the garden. when im organised I buy my meat from a paddock to plate farmer so its grass fed about 10k up the road. Meanwhile the vegan or vegetarian eats vegetables that are grown all over the world. Drinking almond milk when most of the almonds are grown in the USA so they have to be flown to where I live across the world, not to mention the pesticides, the fertilizers that are used on mostly mono grown crops. 16 months in on the carnivore diet not always super strict but mostly, my hair has grown so thick, my tryglicerides are lower than my doctors (he was shocked) my cholestorol has gone up a little which I dont mind at all, Im feeling so much stronger, no more aching joints.
I think to succeed on this diet you have to think of food as refueling and not be a foody, but its nice not thinking about food and eating once a day with no hunger is really good. 21kilo down in weight so far with a little bit more to go - thank you carnivore diet! I wish I could get the rest of the family to do the same but its like talking to brick walls.
