    To follow a carnivore diet in its truest sense, you only eat animal meats and fats. Those who practice it report weight loss, blood sugar stability, more energy, better mental focus, and the list goes on.
    A criticism of the diet is that it lacks research, leading to the question, “How does staying on this diet affect long-term health?”
    I agree that there are benefits, and I agree that we won’t know the full health story until more substantial studies have been done. So, I thought, what would happen if I added a few days of carnivore a month to my typical low-carb diet? In other words, practice carnivore intermittently. And what I am calling intermittent carnivore was born.

    I am a nurse of 43 years ( still practicing) right now I am hardcore carnivore, I have a severe autoimmune disease and when it flares up the ONLY thing that will send it into remission ( and it takes several months) is eating only beef, salt, butter, water ( I can also tolerate green beans and lettuce) anything else at all will send me into thee most imaginable pain you can fathom, I am in carnivore this time for 1 month ( down 16#) and on my way into remission ( BTW, I was forced into figuring it out on my own as Drs do NOT know how to get it into remission except with stem cell therapy and nobody’s insurance covers it as the FDA insists it is “ experimental “ even though it has been successful for over 10 years) Thank God for Dr Ken Berry here on TH-cam, an amazing carnivore Dr who also drinks coffee 😁

    I used carnivore to measure and maintain therapeutic ketosis in conjunction with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. I followed Prof Thomas Seyfried's protocol and am now cancer free. My oncologist was not supportive. I ate a bunch of carbs to celebrate and re-ignited a carb addiction and felt terrible. I am back on carnivore to prevent recurrence of endometrial cancer.

    I’ve been carnivore since January 3rd this year (2024). I’m absolutely loving it!! I’ve probably tried every diet under the sun & was rarely able to stay on any longer than 3 weeks! Keto I stayed on for several months & never lost one pound. I just figured there was something horribly wrong with my body!
    I think I was made for carnivore!! As soon as I started eating this way, I felt amazing!! I seriously look forward to seeing what the next year or two does for my body being on carnivore.
    Before starting carnivore, I was totally eating whatever I wanted at that moment! I did eat mostly “clean” organic, grass fed/finished, pasture raised, etc. etc. But, if I was out & wanted a burger or anything else, I wouldn’t hesitate!
    I felt pretty hopeless concerning loosing weight!
    Last year I fasted 30 days & only lost about 10 pounds. It was quickly put back on as soon as I began eating again.
    I’m excited about carnivore!! I can tell my stomach has shrunk. I am completely satiated with about 1/4 pound of fatty beef. But, then I need to eat again in about 4 to 6 hours.
    I’m really proud of Dr. B for playing around with carnivore! I love her beautiful heart! She seems to genuinely care about others!
    By the way, my body is now healing from the inside out! The visceral fat is shrinking! I have plenty of energy all day long! I have zero brain fog! I’m no longer lactose intolerant! I can drink cow’s milk with no issues now. I haven’t been able to drink milk or any dairy without horrible repercussions in over 15 years! My gums are stronger & don’t bleed anymore!! There are so so many benefits!!
    I’m a 56yo female. I’m looking forward to loosing a lot of weight but for the first time in my life… I’m certainly enjoying the journey!! 💕 🥩 💕

    I’m a new carnivore. I started Ketovore Jan 3 2024, on Feb 5 I started Carnavore, so 30 days today. I can’t say how happy I am! First thing I felt joyful and peaceful, I did not get carnivore Flu, I lost 15 pounds over these months, my sinuses stopped draining, my joints are better, my sleep is better. I eat mainly beef. Yes, I have one coffee in the morning with butter and cream. Water, LMNT, Redmonds salt, Finlandia butter, bone broth homemade. This is the best thing I have ever done. In June I will see the results of my labs and hear what my MD (she supports Keto) has to say. Prior to this, she offered me Ozempic. I was 194.4…now 179. I need to get to 150. But no hurry. I love this path. 73 yrs old and feeling so good! My life has changed dramatically.

So, sometimes, I’ll eat carnivore. Other days, I add salad with olives and green goddess dressing, walnuts, and Brussels sprouts.

    I kick start my weight loss when it stalls with a 24 hours fast. I try to maintain a moderate level of ketosis by eating low carb carnivore as closely as possible. I also enjoy my coffee, seasonings, and the occasional piece of cabbage and some no sugar tomato sauce on my carnivore cabbage rolls, and some pickled red cabbage to break up the boredom of ground beef, bacon and eggs done a gazillion different ways. Incorporating pepperettes add super flavour and variety, lamb, lamb chops, chicken thighs, so much variety I am discovering there is little reason to get bored except for our own imagination. One way to conquer this that I have discovered, shop the variety of meats and fishes available and cook it up as soon as possible thereafter. This way it’s cooked and ready to grab. I always make three different dishes with ground beef. And I keep a half dozen or so ideas handy for omelettes. Ground beef meatballs, ground beef burgers, ground beef meatloaves…. My low carbs are used with onion, mushroom, being used to flavour the eggs and ground beef. The spicy pepperettes and paprika turned out to be a super idea. Just chop small like onion size, and add it to the mix. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    If this is "Intermittent Carnivore" than I've been an intermittent carnivore for more than a year now. My eating schedule:
    Monday: All day fast
    Tuesday: BBBE
    Wednesday: Carnivore
    Thursday: Carnivore
    Friday: OMAD / Ketovore - less than 10 grams of carbs
    Saturday and Sunday: Keto - less than 20 grams of crabs
    I do drink coffee, so I'm with you on that....but I wouldn't touch that "protein shake" with a 10 foot pole. And depending on what the fillers are in the crab cake; I'd probably not have those either. There's just SO MUCH other meat I'd rather have instead.

    Thanks for this video. From reading some comments I’m one of the few who didn’t see any improvement in energy (I’m exhausted all the time) and no reduction in belly fat, even though I’ve been doing carnivore for 9 months. I did improve my morning fasting blood sugar & I did see a reduction in joint pain & reduced inflammation in my feet.But I did lose valuable muscle in my thighs. Let me we clear, I think carnivore works better for people who are 20-30 years younger than I am.
    At 70, I’ve had great success following a gluten free, sugar free diet for 35 years, due to a diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto’s in my thirties. Unlike the rest of my family, I’ve never been on RA meds or had any joints replaced, because I followed a gluten free, no sugar diet. But even though my thyroid meds have been adjusted many times, I’m still extremely tired, & out of breath when I walk, & my cardiologist hasn’t yet found anything major.
    I was much healthier before menopause and I regret not staying on HRT, because that is when I gained the belly , started losing bone ( I lost 4 inches) losing muscle tone, losing memory, losing so many things. Even though I live in a major metropolitan area, doctors won’t follow my wishes. But I’m not going to give up, getting on HRT, because high fat carnivore did NOT give me back the hormones that I need for a good life, contrary to what the Naturopath doctor said it would do.

    Love this, Becky! I followed you and Keith for 65 lbs weight loss 4 years ago. I continued Keto but found through vacations and little cheats that the weight started to creep up (20 lbs to be exact.) I switched to carnivore to see if that would reign in my creeping carb addiction. It's working. I'm down about 8 lbs after 3 weeks carnivore. Aldi meat section makes it very affordable. I find it very simple to follow because I do love animal based diet-and truthfully, I am a LAZY cook; the quicker and least planning, the better. I'm hoping to get to 'normal' weight for the first time in my adult life. I love the carnivore lifestyle. Through it all, I am (mostly) OMAD. Salmon, chicken, beef, pork. Yum.

This is a learning process I wish I had known as part of my basic education 50 years ago, and I am enjoying exploring and cooking my own food.
    Aches , pains and joint stiffness goes away with carnivore and the glucose checking are a good indicator of what foods to avoid. There is nothing difficult once we understand our own body and its reaction to certain foods. Great video again , thank you.

    Yes, there are no long term studies of the carnivore diet that can inform on causality. However that is true with EVERY diet (keto, vegetarian, vegan, Mediterranean, pescatarian, etc. the list goes on). The studies simply cannot be done, for ethical and economic reasons. What we have is a lot of short-term epidemiological studies that cannot inform on causality. So, what we're left with is looking at anectodal reports which is where the carnivore diet seems to have a wide range of short term benefits. Personally, I've been low carb for 5 1/2 years (3 keto, 2.5 carnivore), and ALL of my many conditions, including T2D have been resolved, while allowing me to drop ALL of my (ten) medications. I'm feeling better than I did in my early twenties, and IF carnivore shortens my life (personally, I doubt it), living pain free, T2D free, drug free, and feeling this good, then I don't care if it costs me a few years. It's all about QUALITY of life, not QUANTITY. 😀👍

    I was on carnivore for a year and lost weight. I also took in sodium because I had leg cramps a lot at night. I drank a lot of water. I quit because I think I can loose weight just as easy counting calories and doing cardio. I resistance train 4 days a week and I have more energy now consuming carbs.

    Funny, I actually do this without even thinking about it. Monday through Friday during the work week I’ll eat steak and eggs sometimes a little bacon eggs cooked and butter all breakfast stuff about nine 10 o’clock. Don’t eat the rest of the day. I’ll do that all week and I’ll lose a little weight but I always eat too much on the weekends so I can’t make any progress. Guess I need to be more determined.

    Yes coffee is good however not all coffee is necessary healthy, as some coffee is not pesticide free. Also grass fed animals are not necessarily healthy either, depends on the grass their eating is the grass pure and if they animals are eating the grass on a large pasture or just fed grass in a large barn..

    This is the way my husband and I eat, late 60s. He, zero prescriptions, me, type 1 diabetic and hashimotos. Neither need BP meds or statins, his CAC - 0. My A1C, low 5s.
    My body is sensitive to so many foods, and these foods change from time to time, depending on how much I consume. For instance, I have to alternate between almond and coconut milk for coffee. Appears too much of one thing causes a sensitivity. I don’t understand it. So we eat low carb, cook at home, avoid seed oils, trans fats, processed foods, take a lot of supplementation. I muscle test most foods and sadly, some of my favorites, like Brussel sprouts, are a no no. Definitely has something to do with these autoimmune diseases.

    Becky, you said normally you stick to a low carb diet of 60 carbs per day by eating a salad at lunch and low-starch veggies at dinner. 60 carbs worth of salad and veggies is a LOT of those items. I mean you could eat 2 cups of veggies and a salad and still be under 20 carbs. What else are you eating to make up the rest of the carbs? Just curious.

    I am sure this is the way women in indigenous societies ate in the past. Vegetable sources of food whilst the men go hunting and then a couple of days gorging on the meat bought back from the hunt.

    I think rather than doing a version of carnivore every 3 weeks I would just increase the protein and cut back on the veggies on a daily basis. I have realized the more I cut back on veggies the better I feel. I did not realize even veggies can cause us issues.

    Our digestive systems and metabolism evolved in humans who were opportunistic and used fire to cook their food. There would be times they had lots of meat available. There would be some times when they didn't have meat available. I think "Intermittent Carnivore" is probably the most natural way of eating in terms of our evolutionary history.

    Just a word of warning for the hard core carnivores. Be mindful of your vitamin B6 intake.

    Just because they don't have long-term studies doesn't mean that people haven't been doing it for long term. There are a lot of people that were doing the Atkins diet, which is exactly the same as the carnivore diet so they need to take that research also and combine with people who have been doing it for 25 years. There are lots of people who have done it for 25 to 30 years and can attest to the diet being effective. They just need to take these people, and write it down!
