Thanks for this. My 62year old husband just started true carnivore (we went on the diet journey you described). The hope is to get his weight and hopefully his hormones (Testosterone and Thyroid) to closer to normal.
Dr, do you think this is safe for me, as I have HCM? My LDL is elevated, and I don’t want to take a statin. I don’t know what to do.
@@miikkii55 He will. Carnivore is terrific.
@Maria Lindell Thanks for your advice, Maria. Very kind of you 🌷
@@ashleighnunez5532 Thanks Ashleigh 🌷
I grew up eating liver and all the parts of the animal. I am from Colombia and all animals are grass feed. Now I live in America and is really expensive and difficult to find grass-fed meat 🥩. Who would imagine that poor countries eat better than wealthy countries.
@Claribed Yes indeed, I left communist Poland in 1981 and would never have imagine that in some twenty years I'd be appreciating the simple, God given food with minimal "interference. Now everything I buy I check for the source and ingredients. Oh, the Joi of living in first world democracy (sarcasm intended). Greeting and best wishes to you from Aus. Keep safe, keep smart. 😊
Its all grass fed. Beef tasted better when they were fattened up with grain in my opinion. The hippies got older and the grass fed scam developed..
It's easy in Arizona, and cheaper to buy a beef from a rancher than to get it at the store.
Find your local farmer/rancher that does it right with regenerative rotational grazing, and buy a whole/half a cow they are much lees expensive this way and your supporting good people, not big corporations.
Right?? We have a greedy sugar industry!
We used to scratch our heads when we always saw my wife’s grandpa and grandma eat so much meat. Grandpa worked in the meat industry his whole life bringing home meat for dinner almost every night. We always wondered how healthy that could be. Grandpa lived to be 101 and grandma 98.
Well, the meat was more healthy back then too.
@@Flippokid Good quality meat is available. But at a price.
@@Rhaspun True. Or by hunting.
ppl of japan eats variety of food. rice, vegies, noodle, fish,meat,you name it. but they are also super healthy with high life expectancy.
our anchestor who ate mostly meat also doesnt live long enough by todays standard
idk. maybe theres gene involved in this. anyway, meat is super expensive in my country.
My grandmother on my father side had bacon and eggs for breakfast every morning for decades and decades. She lived to be 99. No dementia or any serious illnesses👍🏻
I did this for 5 months Beef salt water only. Got rid of my asthmatic bronchitis, my asthma, my allergies, my depression, adhd, knee and back pains.
But it made you lie!!!!!!!
@@herbbowler2461 excuse me?

Oh! You must be one of those that believes meat is good, even though ALL the healthiest people eat the least meat. That's why I call them meatheads!!!!
You are literally commenting in an ~ 25 minute video explaining the best scientific evidence we have to date, as to why your statement is so ignorant.
Did you even watch the video? Was it just too long for your attention span? Or did you decide to check out when it didn't conform to your preconceived notions?@@herbbowler2461
Not gonna lie, if the government tells you to not eat meat because all the harmful things it will lead to, tells me that we should be eating more meat. I do not do carnivore. This is just my opinion. I just figure there is more 💰 keeping us sick than keeping us healthy. 🤷♂️
Agreed! Include many doctors and scientists who are paid to send false messages

If we was all healthy the medicine industry would collapse
I was vegan - went carnivore. No more ibs, hair loss, joint pain, depression, the list goes on and on
Carnivore is the bomb
i want to try it so bad but a big reason why i'm vegetarian is for ethical reasons. was vegan for 5 years but really missed eggs.
@@sacueva you’re killing yourself. Not very ethical IMO. Most people don’t understand that when you’re carnivore you hardly have to eat at all and you hardly have any waste.
Just curious, as a vegetarian, are you producing ketones? I would suggest doing some research on the health benefits of ketones. Be advised, your brain is about to explode.
@@sacueva You can buy eggs from free range chickens. I buy organic, free range eggs and they are much better.
@@sacueva ethics is about right and wrong behavior, and a proper human diet is the correct behavior for a human. Humans eat meat, it is correct. It is ethical.
Carnivore for 3 months now after 3 months of keto. Lost 40 pounds and stopped taking all medications (for hypertension and chronic bronchitis and sinusitis). Fatty liver completely healed. 57 and in better shape than when I was 37.
So u did keto for 3 months then for 3 months only consumed meat?
@@defenderofnation6955 Yes
I have had a similar experience. I have been doing carnivore for a little over a year. Went from 7 meds to 2 and my depression and anxiety were gone in about 3 weeks. My type 2 Diabetes is reversed. I lost 45 lbs. I went from being on the brink of another hospitalization to feeling better than i have in 25 years.
What meats do you eat on a daily basis?
@@pmanrise I eat beef and eggs every day. I also eat quite a lot of lamb and pork, including sausage and bacon (after reading labels to insure they don't contain a lot of processing ingredients). Also a lot of cheese, in particular hard cheeses made from raw milk (I live in France). Some fish, in particular canned sardines, mackerel, and wild caught salmon. Some poultry (a whole deep fried or roasted chicken once in awhile is delicious). A little bit of liver (cod or beef or chicken or lamb) occasionally. A favorite weekly meal is a 6 egg omelet with trout eggs and feta cheese. Etcetera!
I started on 100% carnivore only lifestyle about 70 days ago. I’ve lost over 30 lbs even though that wasn’t my goal. My mind is clearer, even though that wasn’t my goal, I have more energy… even though that wasn’t my goal. My digestive system which has ruined my life is giving me no more constipation, gas, or flu-like symptoms… sorry, even though, that wasn’t my goal. All of my food allergies have stopped, my skin has become clear and healthy… (that’s right, not my goal). I have aggressive prostate cancer that has been resistant to multiple surgeries, Chemo, and radiation treatments. It has been a mass with relentless growth in my spine. I told myself I would try carnivore because I heard sugar may be the reason the cancer is so aggressive. (I’ve always been a sugar addict). My oncologist has stopped all treatments because there is nothing there to treat anymore. (In 60 days) all my lab is flawless with the exception of my PSA still being elevated slightly. (So the cancer isn’t completely gone as of yet). THAT was why I tried carnivore. To be proactive and do "Something!” And it seems to be working. I’m not gonna quit anytime soon now. That’s for sure.
Did you eat only grass fed animals or any animals?
?
Hope you still around mate
Think he was asking whether the meat was grass-fed only. Or was it CAFO meat.
Update brother
One group wants people fit and healthy while the other wants you dependant on medication forever
Sounds like you treat the groups like a religion like the doc said.
@@michelangelobuonarroti916 no, i just know what has worked best and worst for myself and those around me since i have taken more notice of what myself, family and friends are eating and drinking, if i start eating anything plant based i start having problems, i also see this with those around me and if you start adding the processed stuff on top of that things seem to get even more severe so they need more and more medication's. this might be just coincidental or anecdotal but it certainly makes you wonder.
Or they want you to die, depop.
I just started my 6th week of carnivore. To get adjusted, I ate cheese and milk the first 3 weeks. For week #4 I quit the dairy and I'm feeling so good now. I've lost 13 lbs. in the first 5 weeks. My morning fasted blood glucose went from 305 to 86 in just 5 weeks. I love carnivore.
It's actually fine to have your dairy. If you can, try to find raw milk/ lightly pasturized non homogenized milk. I haven't noticed any inflammatory response from raw milk made by healthy cows
Good for you! I actually took the challenge and did my first 30 days with pure carnivore. As a "reward" I decided to add cheese and cream during my second 30 days. I don't eat cheese unless I'm wanting "comfort" food and make a cheese cream sauce for my ground beef. I'm in the middle of my 4th 30-day challenge with no plans of doing anything different. It's the little things that make sense in life - how eating so simple can be the answer.
Have you gotten cancer yet?
@@FJB_TheBigGuy yes. Every cancer. All at once. Pretty impressive
Lucky. Everytime I eat meat my sugar goes to 300 after a month it was 250 but I was taking insulin along with that
I went carnivore for 2 weeks. Then I added one vegetable at a time to find which one cause my trigger fingers. The first vegetable was asparagus. Over night my fingers got stuck. Back to carnivore then added back broccoli, then other vegetable. None of these cause problems. Best way for me to find out what was the problem.
thats the way to do it!!!!!
Woah thanks for sharing. My hand has been doing that on and off for a year. I eat a lot of low carb vegetables every day.. I’m going to try this.
First I would add back after a month would be onions! If onions were causing my issues, it might break my heart.
@@saransong5547 me 2..lol
Thank God you can still eat Broccoli !!!
Dr. Ekberg, you are one of the very few voices of reason in the Internet.
I have zero knowledge in diet and nutrition, but I can clearly understand this entire video. How smart and thoughtful dr. Ekberg is. Thank you so much, sir.
Was my leanest on carnivore. Went back to Keto and my gut was a mess. Back to carnivore and getting ripped, plus stomach issues resolved. OMAD also. Really works great! Thanks!
Me too but I have to eat at least twice a day or I lose too much weight.
I generally have 4 to six eggs and 2 pounds of beef per day.
@@markneumann4986 Sounds like a great plan! Keep up the great work!💪
👍 the naysayers just don't get it.
@@markneumann4986 try some some duck eggs they are larger and have 9grs protein compared to chicken's 6grs. I eat 2 chicken and one duck, or 1 and three or three and three.
@@markneumann4986 Wow; we eat eggs several times a week; however I read long time ago that we should not eat more than 4 eggs a week!
I'm female, 57 years old, eating strict carnivore for 5 years now. Yes, I had all these health improvements you listed. I'll never eat any other way as long as I can afford it. I also improved my low functioning thyroid. I don't take any medication anymore. I used to get colds, the flu twice a year and I haven't gotten sick since changing my diet to eating any kind of meat. I eat what I can afford, eggs, and rarely cheese. Drink only water, although I tried drinking tea a few times but reacted badly to it. Before I changed to carnivore eating, I was keto for 1.5 years, Paleo for 2 years before that and before that I ate a Mediterranean diet. Besides weight loss the biggest thing about eating carnivore for me was the massive improvement of my mental health. That's very pressious to not feel depressed all the time and being crazy moody. That's all gone. Oh and IF comes naturally with eating this way. Changing between 2MAD and OMAD - no problem.
@Moni I concur, have noticed that my mental state is always better after having some meat.
You could be writing my own story about the effects of a carnivore lifestyle. I just turned 70 and I've never felt better..I was keto for two years - a devoted health champion following this channel - a carnivore for the past two months. I add a small orange from time to time for a sweet treat. I have more energy for core fitness and yoga classes 3 days a week, my sleep is vastly improved, and my comfortable eating window is 6 hours. No breakfast because I'm simply not hungry, lunch around 1 or 2 pm, last meal of day by 6 pm. Carnivore is my strategy for now! I'm so glad Dr. Ekberg has created a video on carnivore. He's wonderful, so easy to understand.
Love this...
How much meat per day one should aim for ?
@@petrichor100 As much as you need I would say. Think logical and experiment.
To me it's seems like a lot of people start feeling better because they stop eating bread and sugar.
That is a fair comment. Most people eating a modern western or even a vegetarian diet would see results from going paleo, low carb or keto ie cutting out processed foods, most carbs and upping their protein intake a bit. Carnivore is just another step on that progression, and may only be required for people with particularly complicated or chronic health issues.
Having said that, I am trying it (3 days so far lol) because after 15 years, low carb paleo is no longer working following menopause and I have seen a steady weight creep, plus skin issues as I age. I think its worth a try as a reset, and how far I take it will depend on the results.
True. Omitting refined grains, sugars, and oils will improve health. But that doesn't mean humans should eat animal carcasses. Humans are frugivores.
63% of the species that roam the earth are carnivores. We humans are the only living thing that is conscious and knows we’re alive. If animals eat meat on autopilot what’s wrong with us doing it while we’re in control. Also I do understand not wanting to cause pain to animals. I am big on energy, but I also believe in energy transfer. I heard this quote the other day “you are what you eat, so don’t be nuts, be a beast”. Lol
Yup……bread , sugar, rice , potatoes , pasta , tortillas
This man deserves a medal...of all the carnivore diet videos, this is the most empirical, scientific and informative.
What is “impirical”?
No! No! No!
There is nothing scientific about promoting a carnivore diet.
All scientific studies show that less meat = better health and longevity.
L.I.A.R. studies promote meat!
@@tantron3527empirical means when u don't have a working theory for some experiment, so u make conclusions based on observations.
@@tantron3527it means measurable.
March 12th I went carnivore. I was 280 pounds, now, today, May 5th, the scale said I was 212 this morning. Best thing I've ever done.
Bravo 👏 ~ Are you eating once or twice a day?
I started a little over a week ago and was 295, I won’t weigh myself for another month or so. Your story makes me pumped for the results. I’m 100% committed and my energy levels are on another level no pun intended haha.
Awesome! Good luck to you. Just so you know, I also used intermittent fasting, since the cravings all went away (who knew?) and, if you decide to try it, you'll find the metabolism jumps up enormously after you eat again. Stays that way for awhile, too.
😮
Great job! I alternate between carnivore and keto, and intermittent fasting and water fasting. All my meds went away and I'm within 5# of my goal. I started at 230 and was 173 this morning. I lose the fastest on carnivore and fasting.
If they government is saying its bad, then you know its good for you.
agreed
Totally agree because the government pharma will make a lot of money when people get sick and will purchase whatever meds recommended but getting sicker.
Agree
Sad but true about everything. They lie.
Very good thought. So now start to use heroin and crystall met what wrong could happen?
I recently became allergic to salicylates. I broke out in severe hives to swiss chard, spinach and kale, which all 3 I grew in my plantar box. This has caused me to look for something to clear me up and help me. Ran across carnivore diet. My brother has scolded me for going carnivore, but I have started losing weight and feeling better and it has not even been a week yet. I am on board for carnivore diet. Thank you for this video.
How are you feeling now? Are you still on the carnivore diet?
How’s it going now?
Oxalates?
FINALLY! Someone explained all of these aspects together in a way that makes sense and thus easy to understand. I am now a fan. :) I love your balanced explanation.
I have never seen a video in this interesting detail about the carnivore diet, including answers to all the questions that revolve in the viewer's mind. I did not even skip any advertisement in the video in honor of this effort.. Thank you from the heart, Dr.Ekberg
Right on, Lily. Completely agree
Exactly, Dr. Ekberg provides tremendous value! Really appreciate the content!
@@equatorialjourney4478 Dr. Sten gives so much information that sometimes it is hard .. digesting .. it all .. :^)
You need to cruise the internet a little more there's a bunch of really good doctors that are talking almost nothing but carnivore I'm trying to think there's this one guy from down south my memory is really bad I've got to stop eating all these carbs and maybe I'll get my memory back
I agree with you totally 😀
This man has a gift, he explains things with cristal clear precision.
Very Well Said Fernando
Thank you @fernandobautista3200 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
Do the exact opposite of what the USDA tell you.
When I started the carnivore diet I was concerned about fiber because I thought it was necessary, but to my surprise I even go easier, almost every day. It never takes more than 48 hrs before I use the toilet. I know many people believe we are herbivores but I’m very happy with that, that keeps meat prices affordable. This is one of my favorite channels on TH-cam. Thanks for all the information.
RIP!!!!!!!!
The animals ate the plants for you so there must be fibre in the meat. It's just that thy digested it for you and we get the purified fibre in the meat.
@@SuperLuckao
Wrong. No fiber in meat. And the human digestive is made for lots of fiber. That why those that eat a lot of meat are so sickly. Especially seniors.
Carnivore constipated me. I actually need to do keto for the extra fibre.
@@SuperLuckao
Of course: because humans don't have a meat eaters digestive system.
Even real carnivores eat high fiber plants to clean themselves out ,and there short digestive system is made for meat.
Think what that meat is doing to you.
YUK!!!!
I love that he is not just explaining pure nutrition, but also goes on different kind of things for overall understanding. Also I really like the simple way of explaining
I actually did try going carnivore for 30 days a couple of years ago out of curiosity. I also had my blood tested after my 30 days. I found that I had experienced all the positive symptoms you described in the beginning. The two things I noticed was that my left knee stopped flaring up and my energy level had increased substantially. My blood test results were all normal; including my lipid panel and basic metabolic panel. To the naysayers who claim the carnivore diet increases triglycerides...my trig level was 43 mg/dL (normal range is
Thats it I'm doing it 😀
Thank you, yes I'm going that way as well
@@MarinaDiamandis4Ever good for you. I am on this diet for 3 years now, it taks easy discipline just say no to snacking and eat once a day. I am 66 and as fit as can be
How often do u have veg/fruit? I'm wondering what percent purity you need to see results, esp for autoimmune and digestive issues.
@@leekflower1 When I did carnivore, I slowly transitioned to making my diet 100% meat. As of now, my diet consists of about 95% meat and eggs with some dairy and 5% fruit/veg. But I gradually introduced other foods back to see if I had any negative side affects. Example: I noticed that strawberries made my teeth and gums hurt, but had no issues with wild blueberries. Everyone is different, though.
female 76 over 300 lbs. 1 week carnivore -9.5 lbs. In the whole week I had 1 small tomato. Other than that, meat, eggs, cheese, and cream. I have been on every diet there is and I have never loss this much weight in 1 week. I have thyroid problems and I have adrenal problems. I did not expect to lose any weight at all. This is a total surprise.
Congrats! keep at it!
So basically you are on keto
@@YMEPETb "Ketovore" perhaps
Keto still allows veg….she’s on carnivore.
Carbs are killing america because we have such an excess amount of it. Protein is the way to go!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful, well-articulated, easy to understand, calmly delivered (that is so appreciated), comprehensive, balanced and helpful video. Having been on a holistic health path and healing journey for thirty years now, am always learning more and something new. This is the first video of yours I've watched. I have been contemplating experimenting with a simple carnivore eating regimen for some time, for many of the challenges/reasons you described. Now I feel even more guided and prepared to do so. Lots of gratitude from the Netherlands.
Thank you so much for this explanation that makes sense to me. I’ve been watching the carnivores and they seem to be feeling so well and have wonderful experiences with the diet. I will soon be 74 and have never had an issue wit any food and don’t have any issues with weight gain. Therefore I will continue to enjoy a variety of food like I’ve done all my life and listen to my body and eat when I’m hungry and stop when I’m full. Has worked very well for me so far. We are all different and if my body starts giving me concern it’s nice to know the choices I have. Thank you so much for helping me see that. You are so appreciated! 😁💕
Carnivore for almost three years. Lost 50lbs. Sleep better. Skin issues gone. Inflammation gone. More energy now in 60's than my 30's.
What exactly is your daily diet like?
No fiber?
Can t be healthy in the long run.
@Epicurean Eat low carb and the fiber will take care of itself. You only need fiber to clean up the sugar.
@@epicurean1868 you watch the video?😅
Colon cancer
Another amazing video.
And yes..people who go for carnivore are not regular people, there are people with a lot of experiences in dieting.
I, for example, was a vegetarian/vegan for 25 years. I have tried a lot in my life, trust me. From cleansing juices, to all the herbs and powders and enemas. I even had grass salad from my own garden. Yes, grass (there's a sort of grass that "they said it can be eaten"). But, oh boy, my body had suffered a lot. And now nobody can convince me of anything else. When I hear young vegans saying after 2 or 3 years into this crap that you "didn't do it right" it just makes me wanna laugh. Boy oh boy! I didnt do it right? If I didnt do it right after 25 years of searching and researching, what about the rest? Who can do it right?
I am into keto+carnivore nowadays. And the more I experience with my new diet, the more I am convinced that meat is the only way.
You know I was trying to become vegetarian but more than a month I couldn't do it. Coming from an Islamic background being a semi vegetarian is encouraged not to waste meat or overeat it, but also fasting is a huge part of this culture (the upcoming Ramadan as an example). I realize that I can't be vegetarian but slowly improved my intake of produce by avoiding unhealthy stuff and trying to eat organic only. After watching people go carnivore diet now I am tempted to try it, but I am still experimenting with fasting so carnivore is certainly something I would like to try. So happy to see that people with your background share these stories which makes me satisfied that I didn't go vegetarian. Thanks for sharing 🤗
I was vegetarian/vegan for about 5 years. I had weight issues, and was always hungry. When I got pregnant, I craved nothing but red meat and radishes...that was then end of that era..😂😂😂
Been keto/carnivore since 2018 and have never felt better.
"cleansing juices, enemas and grass salad"
Yh you didn't do it right lol!
What exactly is was your vegan diet made of? I have a vegan friend for 7 years and swear by it .
@@georgehornsby2075 I thought the same... It could be because of eating some random grass types. Some grass aren't edible! Then frequent juice fast and enema is detrimental because it affects gut microbiome.
I did 5 weeks carnivore I cleared up so much insomnia, ibs c, anxiety , tachycardia, was also having thyroid issues and adrenaline issues. I felt great almost instantly on beef and butter . I’ve been off carnivore for awhile now and my sleep is not as good but better than previously everything else seems still improved
Try bone broth also, often butcher gives for free, marrowbone
Funny you mention this because I recently started having tachycardia episodes out of nowhere. I couldn't figure out what the issue was so I figured I would try cutting things out of my diet. I'm not in carnivore, but very low carb. It seems to have cleared the tachycardia and most irregular beats. Food is literally killing us.
Hopefully it will help with my anxiety.
@@karenrenae7822 yes we are all different but definitely worth a try if you are not low carb or keto already I wouldn’t go straight to carnivore . Id slowly drop carbs it we’ll help you avoid electrolyte imbalances aka keto flu . I also couldn’t eat the 2lbs of meat a day that it takes to get your potassium so I drank electrolytes and put salt in water
@@mandyhaven4290 yes I’ve been keto for awhile.
Dr. Sten this is the most informative video on this diet. thank you and keep those incredible videos coming
Carnivore for a month and I’m overwhelmed by the health benefits. Weight loss, improved gut health, psoriasis is almost gone(Good Skin), lower depression, I’ve never felt this good in 5 years.
Our family too 👍
Especially raw meat is very beneficial.
really.. i got skin issues also.. perhaps i should try it also then
If you don't mind sharing, what was your diet before that? I wonder if it's more about what you're eating (in this case Carnivore diet) or rather what you're not eating (processed foods, overloading with carbs for example).
@@johnsysays very severe to a point where my entire upper body was covered with sores
Are you still on Carnivore?
I've been a RN for 25years and Dr. Ekberg is amazing. I really appreciate all his videos. I also watch Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Eric Berg, I feel so grateful to find this channel too. Thank you.
Don’t forget Dr Jason Fung!
Eric berg is horrible. (He's not an actual Dr. Btw) tells you to shove down huge amounts of raw vegetables which is not healthy)
@@CheeseStickzZ yes exactly, Berg is a Scientology cult member and a fake doctor, no joke. His own son has spoken publicly about the abuse and crazy lifestyle of the scientology cult. He preaches keto purely because it's popular and makes him money. There's nothing wrong with keto per se, but I'd steer clear of anyone who's a high ranking member of a child trafficking cult.
Im sorry for your delusions
@A.J. Do you work for Pfizer ? or for someone who does.
I really appreciate your fact-based, well informed and researched videos. You present an unbiased opinion which is really helpful.
that;s kind of you
Thank you Dr. your critical analysis and using the clock as a metaphor is OUTSTANDING!
Been on carnivore for 3 months and I'm down over 30 lbs. My 13 son has (had) a big problem because he is always hungry, he wakes up and eats within minutes and all day. I got him to try carnivore for a few days and his hunger was gone in 3 days. Been a couple weeks now and he is doing great, don't eat until after lunch time with out even trying. Carnivore works great for us.
Everyone always says they lose weight which in itself is not an indication of health
@@tweedpenguin712 True, but it's usually because they were over weight and unhealthy prior to changing their diet. The weight-loss can be a significant sign of their body returning to a more healthy state.
@@tweedpenguin712 Da-Doy, Smitty. But, then again, it isn't an indication that it's unhealthy either. Unless you are saying that by losing weight, OP was saying that they didn't need to lose weight, which then would have been an indication of being unhealthy. Weird take on the OP but, to each their own. My take, as many others who have liked this post, is that OP needed to lose weight and Carnivore helped them. Ah well, some people want to be different and read the post in a way that wasn't intended or make a comment that sounds like a toddler crossing their arms because they don't like the information they receive. We don't care if you want to think that a needed weight loss in one person's life "might" not indicate health. The fact of the matter is - it does in their journey, and they've discovered a key to controlling their life. Kudos to them and unless your comment is helpful with REAL facts, keep it to yourself. There's free advice to make you socialize better with real people posting about a real problem.
But hey, your comment was just recommending to them that they keep doing the same thing you've always done and hope for change....cuz plants! Amirite?
Keep it up please don’t let your son gain weight and be obese his whole life. This comes from someone who just became not obese for the first time two years ago in his 20s.
@@tweedpenguin712 It seems to have positives though. Lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol. Many people have blood pressure and cholesterol issues. Obesity is a big problem throughout the world now.
I tried for two weeks and let me tell you on day two my belly became less swollen. Days after, I noticed no tiredness after eating. Getting up early without hitting the snooze button. And this is on a mostly all meat diet. Almost paleo style of eating I’m doing. No grains and almost zero carbs. Seeing what will happen in another two weeks. Good luck to you all
So how do you feel 3 weeks later?
@@extremereactionxbox5457 I went full on carnivore only salt and zero sugar propel electrolytes powder. Man I feel amazing, people find me odd not that I am less anxious, getting up in the morning is a lot easier. Feel well rested after 5-6 hours of sleep. No food cravings at all. Put on weight, but I think it’s mass because I’m down 3 pants size. Body is slightly changing more built. No more aching the next day after a long night of work.
@@nsmilitia Very interesting, especially that the changes can come so rapidly. Do you ever feel brain fogged? Do you notice any cognitive changes? All the best.
How did it go bro?
@@nsmilitia how are you holding up ?
By far the best and easy and unbiased video I've seen so far about the carnivore diet vrs. Many others. Great video!😊
Thank you SO much, Dr. Ekberg, for this video, in which you explain so many issues about nutrition and the human body, in such a calm way, that it is easy to understand!
Explaining to us the pros and cons of various aspects of our bodies needs and reactions, really gives me greater confidance about wanting to try the Carnivore Diet. I, too, feel that once we lose the weight we need to lose, we can begin to incorporate a variety of foods and see how our body reacts to them. Thank you SO much for your knowledgeable explanations!!! 😚
2 months ago I switched from the SAD (sad Australian diet) which is based on the American one, but with more beer.
I am 53, 5'11" and weighed 315 lb naked.
Went to a very strickt Keto on 16:8 IM and have over past 4 weeks transitioned to OMAD.
I am now phasing out veg and coffee 😭 and plan to go Carnivore by Easter.
I am now 265lb in exactly 8 weeks. I have had the odd cheat but nothing major.
I have lost 5" in waist dia
All of my pants no fall down without a belt.
I am doing light to moderate exercise, mostly brisk walking and bike riding for an hour every other day.
I work a sedentary job, so getting up and walking about as much as I can.
I feel better than I have in 10 years.
My blood pressure has dropped from 145/88 to 107/77
Resting heart rate average is 50 bpm, it was 68.
I am lucky I didn't have any other medical issues but I have no need to take anti inflammatory medication, as I was for injured shoulder, no medication for 7 weeks now.
I have no plans to stop.
Goal is to be 190 lb, I have almost hit half way. 🎉
WHAT'S YOUR WEIGHT NOW???...keep up the good work!!!
Amazing progress, keep up the great work! 🔥💪 Greetings from a Swede in Beijing 🌆🏯☀️😊
mate.. coffee. hardcore
Do it. When I dropped vegetables and fruit my GI system problems finally went away. I thought I loved vegtables but now I realize that nobody really loves them, you are conditioned to like them because they are "healthy". You also don't need fiber to stay regular if you have the right amount of fat on the proper carnivore diet. If you think you love salad try eating it without any dressing. You have to add alot of preparation, spices sauces to make vegetables palatable. Maybe this is telling us something. Plants are full of problematic compounds designed to protect the plant from being eaten. Just try to walk into the wildness, how many edible plants will you find, how may edible animals .... HMMM : )
Congratulations!!🎉🎉🎉
Been on a keto diet for the last 3 years, and most of my diet is animal products. Down a 150 plus pounds. I've got celiac disease. Every aspect of my life has greatly improved. Mental health, anxiety, and depression went away. Upgraded my career 3 times in that time frame.
In the best mental, physical, and financial health of my life. I feel diet had a lot to do with that.
i've been doing carnivore past couple weeks and your video popped up. you are VERY intelligent!!!! Good job! thank you!
Wow, he just explained my health and wellness journey at around 12:30 with the elimination process. That’s insane. Well done.
I knew Sten would eventually tackle the carnivore realm, and he did NOT disappoint. Like all his videos, it gives a very balanced and comprehensive view that doesn't target or attack people or ideas. IMO, it's a huge reason he's so well respected, and why I'm a subscriber that keeps coming back. If only I lived close enough to be one of his patients!
Yes! I just watched an excellent interview: 4 Yr Carnivore Heart Surgeon..." It's on the Steak and Butter Girl's channel. The doctor's the most easy to listen to person ever. Never condescending, but so simple! He seems to be on same page as Dr Sten.
Yeah, it's easy to respect someone that rides the fence, doesn't command any real conclusions, and tries to please everyone by not presenting evidence that would demand a conclusion (i.e. information on tribes of people, current Carnivores, etc., that have eaten Carnivore all their lives?) Ah well, tis the price of fame, amirite?
@@Moralatheist101 Scientific knowledge is always growing. There may not be one right diet for everyone. I know I seem to do better/feel better when I switch things up. I switch up my fasting lengths, too, as has been recommended by many, including Dr Fung. Switching things up may be the key for at least some of us. Just like eTRE v. 16/18 hr fasting...one thing may be better than the other, but That may change over time. Your body's always changing.
If he try to fit everyone taste that could mean that sometimes he is not honest.
I still like his videos though.
@@Moralatheist101 conclusion is at the end of the video
I’ve been carnivore for 4 years. Psoriasis gone, high blood pressure gone, pre diabetes gone, joint pain gone, insomnia gone, anxiety gone, brain fog gone, Libido through the roof, sustained energy all day long. lost 50 pounds as a result of eating this way 🥩🥚 I have a 6 pack again at 53
Wow.
Thank you so much for mentioning libido as very few people do. It's favorably astronomical 😉
Do u eat eggs or fish?
I have psoriasis for the past 3 years .. been doing keto/ketovore IF for the last 2 years .. still have it….. how long it take for your psoriasis to be gone eating carnivore?
@@1981fuentes I have psoriasis very bad but 98% gone just by giving up sugars, grains, rice, nightshade vegetables, eggs, dairy.
I love this very balanced approach to the subject. He is so right when he says that people become entrenched in one side or the other eg vegan v carnivore. He is the wisest of all diet advocates that I have heard
700 pounds in Alaska and started the carnivore way of eating just over a month ago.. So many incredible changes in such a short amount of time..
Have been on carnivore for 10 years. Started off with keto but transitioned to carnivore later. Love love it. I feel the best at 50 this year
what meat do you eat
@@muyy1 Red meat and organs are the best
Christine thanks for sharing your story. Can you also share any resources on recipes ?
Lol! feeling the best. Sure, but that doesn't mean you hit the wall 15-20 years ago.
All the meat in the world can't change that.
Even worse if you had kids too.
@eddie Robles
You don't need any "recipes"😁😁
Just eat it raw, eventually you can also eat raw eggs or milk, if you like to.
No need to add anything, no need to spend time in the kitchen preparing your "recipes". You'll feel amazing. Just get the highest quality stuff possibile.

Well deserved!!
Thank You Πασιφάη. You helped. 😄
Thank you so much for this thorough and educating video. I have been ketocarnivore for three months and feel fantastic. However, it seems the carnivore part, ie meat and the saturated fat subject is all people can talk about when I try to explain its benefits. Well that's it now I will just send them this video and say job done! Perfect!
Appreciate you Dr. Ekberg - really really, I can't believe the quality of information like this at our finger tips in this day and age and you are playing a part in that. Thank you.
I'm about 2 months into a 3 month carnivore diet, and have, so far, lost 26 pounds, have more energy than I've had since in my 20s, my daily struggle with heartburn is gone, blood pressure has leveled out! I feel great! Best health decision I've ever made.
This is awesome!!! But always remember, it is not a diet, it is a way of eating… if it works great for you you don’t go off it like a diet, keep doing it because it is what works for you! Keep up the great work!!!
@@davidharney9487 It depends on your personal approach and goals. As Ekberg mentions in the video it’s the ultimate elimination *diet*. Personally I approached it as this and always planned to reintroduce certain foods to find out what I’m intolerant to.
Diet is by definition is the food someone habitually eats, so “a way of eating”. Arguably “diet” can be subtly different to “a diet” but I guess that’s kinda pedantic.
Yeah, I'm cutting out all inflammatory foods for 90 days. After that I may or may not reintroduce a few veggies.
My mom has all the problems you listen you no longer have.l she doesn’t eat meat.. I shall be stopping that.. tired of seeing her in pain and sadness. Adding more liver and organs to her diet!!! Thanks for your comment
I ate a pound of organic grass fed ground beef almost exclusively with some pasture raised eggs. I was under eating based on what I see on carnivore now. But in a few months as well as doing a couple prolonged fasts of 36 hours to 72 hours a week. Went from 235 down to 173lbs. I'm 6'4" so that was for me too slim. Started lifting weights after that and got up to 188lbs and was very lean and muscular. I didn't even realize what I was doing was carnivore because I started off just trying to do keto and ended up finding that I liked the beef and eggs and I would also drop some butter in the beef to get the fat up. My skin was never clearer and it really changed my appearance in a huge manner in just about 4 months. I did up my food intake to eating a couple times a day and eventually I went back to a more varied diet. But I learned that the fasting reset my body's weight. I didn't just gain back the weight quickly when I changed my eating to have more carbs. It also gives a lot of confidence when you learn the benefits of eating an elimination type way of eating. I love meat so it's not hard. But if you have an addiction to sugar you have to break that and eating like this can do the job. You just have to be consistent.
Great comment Michael, thank you very much.
you werent keto unless you were eating 200 g plus grams fat, less than 100 g protein a day
@Saul Schitman you idiots are going to have a heart attack or cardiovascular disease, your body needs fiber. The reason you feel better and lose weight is because your cutting out all the sugar and grain and processed foods/seed oils. It’s not rocket science to realise this. It’s an elimination diet and you need to reintroduce vegetables and fruit and leggumes into your diet and slowly cut your meat way down or you should start writing your will. Eat whole foods and you will flourish.
Grass fed meat is a scam. Still bad. You’re still supporting the cruelty of murdering animals.
@@nina1963dec how do you define keto? i’ve no idea!
Now THIS ⬆️ is the best video out there on the topic by far‼️ Balance is key. Thanks doc 👍🏾
Whenever there are 2 diametrically opposed groups, it's usually because 1 group doesn't want you affecting their income stream.
Dear Dr. Ekberg, Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation. I'm 85 yrs old, recently retired, and now have the time and energy to do research. You are such a blessing to all of us who are searching for the truth and help to improve our health and quality of life. You explain everything so beautifully and in such excellent detail. God bless you! ❤
I love liver! In Greece, when you go to a tavern or restaurant, fried small pieces of pork liver are served along with other delicacies. Liver is fried in good olive oil, seasoned with salt and oregano, while cooking, and fresh lemon juice squeezed over it on the plate!!! Delicious!!! I just did the same with chopped beef liver, and it is also delicious!
With my Greek yogurt, I plan to make. tzatziki to spread over liver, hamburgers , etc. It's what you get with gyro or souvlaki at a Greek food festival!!!
Add to Greek yogurt, a bit of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, a bit of grated cucumber, and some minced fresh dill. Stirr sll together, and it makes a delicious cooling, sauce or spread!!!
I take it you worked into the early 80's??
I remember Chick Hearn always bragging about continuously calling Laker games for 40 years.

Thank you @ruthbaker4562. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
...until you ended with abusive religo-mythology 🤦♂
It is better for the old people to not over consume animal fats. Instead use 100% olive oil to aid in a bit.
Dr. Ekberg, You have elegantly summarized the great Vegan - Low Carb - Keto - Carnivore religious war in one incredible video. There will never be a “one size fits all” diet because we are all on a spectrum of benefit vs. sensitivity for all foods particularly certain plants. Your advice for including some food variety was excellent. The role of fiber in the diet with the gut micro biome is complex and just starting to be unraveled. We need to be respectful of others views so we can benefit ourselves.
I stopped eating troughs of salads, fiber, and 💩 never been better. I didn't realize that you were not supposed to see undigested food in one's 💩. Now, I don't
Humans are hypercarnivores. Some humans have a tolerance to dairy and the like but it doesn't change our species specific diet, being obligate Carnivores. I don't know of anyone who's truly meat intolerant, and aversion is only temporary.
As long as you wean yourself onto it properly, anyone should be able to go on carnivore.
You can feed your gut with butyrate from butter and dairy instead of fiber that destroys your gut lining
Thank you LUIGI!! What a dorky look.
@@infini_ryu9461IMO I don't think we are hyper carnivores. What we know about early humans' diet may be just a theory. We do know that humans have eaten a variety of food for thousands of years (meat, grains, and vegetables are all mentioned in the Bible).
People in various regions that are Blue Zones (where people consistently live a long time) eat a variety of food. They are not all the same diet, either, so more factors are at play.
In fact, the video "Living to be 100--The Blue Zones" (or some title like that--can't remember the name exactly) is worth a watch. Just my opinion. Since we now have many people going carnivore, we will know more about health benefits eventually.
Excellent video! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us all with some balanced information. Easy to follow and understand! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰
Since I have added meat in my diet almost regularly, I don’t have sugar craving at all. I am so glad
14 days on this I feel good happier and 15 lbs down
I ran carnivore for 12 months straight back in 2019 before moving onto a low-carb approach. I came full circle and i've been carnivore again for coming up 4 months. Recent blood tests show me to be in perfect health.
Carnivore offers many health benefits but for me it really helps me manage my ADHD. A benefit I seldom see discussed anywhere!
Thanks for mentioning adhd in your comment mate I’ve done Keto and fasting and I get way to hyper I hope that this helps me calm down
@@MMAClipper Hello mate. Carnivore is a form of a ketogenic diet, so your results may vary. It's definitely worth your while to try it however.
Aim for high protein over high fat. I think perhaps that would be your best approach. For me personally I aim for 200g of protein per day without fail (I weigh 71kg). My fat intake varies and I adjust it as per energy requirements and body composition goals. Its usually anywhere around 90g - 150g.
Good luck!
It has basically cured my ADHD as well! Along with my depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues.
@@KodyMurray can you tell me more? what sort of things improved from it? are there any remaining symptoms?
How does that work? I mean the relation meat and ADHD, I'm curious
Excellently presented and hugely informative . Thank you Dr Ekberg .
You're the best, Dr. Ekberg. I've been on keto most of the year and only stepped off for the holidays. I felt so good until I started eating the keto brand foods that are processed. I thought about trying carnivore for at least a month before deciding whether I want to continue or return to keto.
When I was young. I was a carnivore and didn't know it. I ate all the meat on my plate but wouldn't eat the veggies. I remember sitting at the table crying because my parents wouldn't let me leave until I ate some veggies. I was the healthiest kid around. Never sick and never missed a day of school. It wasn't until I was on my own that I began to eat junk/processed food. That my health turned bad. I lost my thyroid and gallbladder due to this unhealthy diet. I'm now 80% carnivore and 20% keto. I am feeling so much better and a lot of my issues have gone away.
I'm one of those people that is extremely sensitive to everything. I'm going to do 30 days carnivore and come back and report to you guys my results. And doctor you are my go-to channel. Thank you
Yes!!! You may need to add/subtract fat as your body heals. You add if you get backed up. Subtract if it goes the other way.

If the FDA is telling you what to eat, know that you should probably do the exact opposite.
It’s not even the FDA from my understanding. It’s the department of agriculture. Yeah, those guys
Great video (again)!!
I laughed out loud when you mentioned how people say red meat will raise your Triglycerides. On a SAD my Triglycerides were over 200 (268 at one point). On an all animal based diet my Triglycerides are in the 80's/low 90's.
I have been animal based for over 4 years and it's been life changing/saving for me! I eat red meat every day and I'm not nutrient deficient.
Thank you for spreading the benefits of this lifestyle!
Same here. On low-fat my trigs were in 200s. 3 years on low-carb in 60s-80s.
Do you take vitamins? I have 1 kidney. wondering if I could try this?
@@peace1108 I take vitamin D since I don't get enough time in the sun.
As for doing this with one kidney, I have no idea. I'm not a doctor and can only speak to my experience.
Dr. Shawn Baker might have covered this topic. Maybe check out his TH-cam page.
Best of luck!
Me too. My dr is mad at me sometimes for making my improvements with her meds but with my food choices and fasting.
No carb Nation, same here ! Animal based diet rule and saved my health. Sad and vegetarian diets almost ruined my health !
Only 2 weeks carnivore and the benefits are incredible... This is now my lifestyle, carnivore... intermittent fasting... light exercise...
Wish I had known about this years ago...
Hello can you tell me what your meals look like? I want to start doing this asap.
I wish I had learned this many years ago, I have suffered trying all kinds of diets but as soon I I heard of a carnivore way of eating I knew it was for me. One month in and down 11lbs. They don’t tell women enough that men lose in a downward motion but women are up and down which can be discouraging but our bodies deal with hormones fluctuating, so don’t get discouraged. I’ve always gravitated to meat but was brainwashed into thinking I had to eat all food groups to be healthy…hogwash!
This is a lifestyle change for me…carnivore is my new way of eating and I love it.
Colon cancer on the way then.
This was the best video I have ever watched on Carnivore diet I was amazed at your explanation about the barriers and how if it crosses into your stomach it crosses into your brain which causes depression that makes so much sense
Love that this video is NOT an all or nothing. One size does not fit all also applies to diets. One thing i believe in is that "How you feel" especially short term does not tell your health story at all: I have been in great shape, toned, muscular, athletic, low bmi, etc. found that ive been living with a 100% blocked LAD and 90% blocked RCA .... likely for 10 yrs+ per all my Cardioligists/Surgeons. Just had heart surgery to unblock two arteries at Cedar Sinai. I was in gym and felt pretty good prior to surgery. Angina promoted my action. This is why i will not go on an extreme diet, such as Vegan or Carnivore. Im living proof you can look and feel great yet be headed for disaster. Had i gotten the right heart tests (beyond treadmill stress/CAC/blood work, etc), i would have caught my problem earlier. Bottom line; Medical industry is not yet proactive....how you feel now is not an indication of issues building inside you. Be proactive and know what tests can assist you in knowing your true health.
I've been ketovore for almost a year and it has greatly helped with hashimoto, hypothyroidism, joint pain, persistent asthma, mood, weight loss, more energy, and brain fog. Loved this video, so informative. Thank you!
Ketovore. Great way to eat. I'm going to try that .
are you taking medicine for hasimoto ? did you need to change your medication dose ?
@@D18G23 I first took synthroid and it did nothing then took natural thyroid and it helped but was discontinued. Now I take ancestral brand desiccated thyroid/liver capsules and feel better. I also do OMAD and do 3-6 day water fasts that help.
@@JB-th6ej thanks for sharing! I am considering trying AS Thyroid supplement but wanted to try carnivore 1st because I see so many people say it helped them!

I personally healed from a stage 3 colon cancer, eating nothing but ribeyes and liver for a few months. After that when I started feeling better, I added some vegetable juices. In four months, without surgery, the cancer was gone.

People really have to work out what is best for their health. It takes a lot of doing and experiments but in the long run, it will be a better quality of life! Also, i get the sense of you being a principled person, and it makes what you say more credible.
Wow, what a great speech. Thank you so much, you really help people Dr. Ekberg!
I’m so glad you’ve finally covered this. I have letterally tried EVERY way of eating. From Atkins to the zone diet. From paleo to whole 30 from calorie counting to the fitness apps from cutting out meat to counting macros from measuring everything to weight watchers absolutely everything! NOTHING and I mean NOTHING has come even close to the profound affect that the carnivore diet has has on me for all my health issues and weight issues. It has been the holy grail for me after years of trying to find the right diet. In fact I do even better on just ruminate meat. It’s incredible and you can feel it after just 3 days. Then everyday after that it gets better and better.
Totally agree!

I'm a super troll on youtube comments, but this guy's presentations are the BEST educational content you will find anywhere, including top notch universities (where I went). He gives a very balanced and whole look at the particular realm of knowledge, along with great analysis & explanation of relatively complex processes.

I have been carnivore for 1.5 years and it changed my life! I lost 50 lbs and my A1c is 5.5. All my other numbers are normal! I don’t have cravings and hunger every two hours . I am so much more flexible and able to exercise! This works for me👍🤩😎
Thank you so very much Dr. Ekberg, you are absolutely brilliant and so easy to follow and understand.
I went carnivore 40 days ago, and have lost 15 pounds of problematic gut fat, reduced anxiety and depression, less joint pain, and better overall energy levels. I am proponent of an afternoon nap but haven’t had to take them nearly as much since going carnivore. It did a lot of elimination steps of processed foods so this was more of a final simple step than a big jumping in point for me. I’ll keep going through the end of the year and evaluate it more. There are many inspiring carnivore stories on TH-cam that helped me take and approach that made sense for my situation. This video by Dr.Ekberg is excellent!
Type 1 diabetic. Carnivore/keto is a lifesaver. Been LCHF for over a year. Rotate between 0-50 carbs depending on if I'm focused on weight loss or muscle building. Reduced my insulin use by 75% a1c under 6. Wish more drs would promote this. But then how would make money.
I agree read with most of what you said. However, I think most doctors do care about their patients, they just haven't been educated along with everyone else. They were trained in the system emphasizing diagnose and prescribed medication. It's part of our cultural landscape. Everyone wants a quick fix with no effort. To expand the knowledge, we need to educate others with kindness.
@@HarvardBob Agree 100%, medical dogma is very difficult to break. I have had professional and extensive contact with doctors and have found they tend to hold onto their entrenched beliefs, backed up by peer pressure from medically trained colleagues. That's very difficult to penetrate, there would need to be a whole raft of peer reviewed RCT's in order turn decades of beliefs around. I don't see that coming anytime soon, there's no money in prevention for big pharma.
I’m also a type 1 diabetic. I eat carnivore/ Keto. Routinely under 15 g carbs per day & only inject 1-2 units of insulin per meal. It’s magical. I also use regular insulin which better matches the glucose rise of protein. I cringe when I hear of people injecting 5- 10 units humalog for a meal! I’ll never go back to that.
@@rachelsmit9156: same her type 1.. But I have developed CKD and I was told low to no protein and of course, carbohydrates is a issue...
After C19, I lost 20 lbs. That was 12/21. Since then, about another 20 lbs came off. Gave up essentially all processed food, high carb/sugar sources. Now it's a mix of meat (beef, fish, pork, chicken), eggs, leafy greens (salads), broccolli, califlower, avocado, olives, asparagus. Cutback coffee to about 4 cups a day (1/4 of what it was with a love affair with cookies), have it with some macademia nuts, walnuts and a bit of dark chocolate (if you're going to have a vice) . Eat twice a day, sometimes once. Every other month a planned fast for two days. Just starting an exercise routine by walking, later it will be a bit of running and weight training, nothing hardcare.
At 185 lbs. now and looking to stabilize around 170 lbs, give or take. Will trade a bit more muscle for fat (still have enough of that) and target is end of June. So, adding more meat and less carbs has seemingly been beneficial.
Also use Coconut oil and Olive oil and stay away from seed oils.
Mid Jan exam showed 98 D level and 5.2 for pre diabetes and that was after my December purge. Dr office called me stating I could stop taking Vitamin D supplements (middle of a cold, dark winter mind you) and didn't mention the pre diabetes as a concern. Followup July so I'll see what she says.
Father died a diabetic, cancer among other health issues at 72 on a high carb, processed diet (pasta was his love) and morbidly obese for years. I am not following the same path if I can help it.
While a tragedy for many, C19 changed my eating pattern. No longer ate a dinner with beer at 10pm at night, after work. Cut out alcohol too, perhaps a glass of wine on occasion/holiday. Non caffeinated tea at night, a bit of water throughout the day, seems to be working. Sleep has become better. Now need to introduce an exercise regimen. Nearing 60, it was about time. I would encourage everyone start at a much earlier age but it works wonders for anyone willing to change sans some health issue out of the ordinary.
During C19, watched almost nothing but health vids so a shout out to the following among others:
Dr. Sten Ekberg
Shawn Baker MD
Dr Eric Berg
High Intensity Health
Gundry
Thomas DeLauer
KenDBerryMD
...there are others, keep up the good work and thank you for your efforts. They haven't gone unnoticed.
I too had covid in December and ended up in hospital for a couple days with pneumonia. Though 60+, I thought I was in good shape to take it. I wasn't over weight, ate healthy, walked and took vitamins. After coming out of hospital, I was 10 lbs. down and craving steak when my taste and smell finally returned a few days later. I didn't like steak before. I also drank too much coffee one day after it tasted good again and my heart went crazy. No caffeine since. Been taking a pile of vitamins also. I feel fully healed at this point. My conclusions are I got a high dose of virus from kids showing no symptoms while playing a game in their bedroom. Though taking vitamins, they weren't enough for the deficiencies I likely had ( D, Iron & ?). I'm likely insulin resistant and have been all along. I'm doing keto now, have kept the 10 lbs. off and feel great.

Good list, except for Gundry.
@@lawdogwales5921 Ok, least but he gave some decent info on an interview. With him, it's a business.
@@kelleemerson9510 There you go. Good you survived. While it lasted up to 2 weeks, it was likely compounded by me detoxifying. I say this because I dropped 20 lbs in spite of still eating (better) and drinking water. Didn't lose my taste but it changed. A can of soup tasted like a salty, fish rotted ocean water. Gave up everything processed...except dark chocolate.
C19 was still a miserble experience. A co-worker didn't survive.
I love how objectively you presented this information
Vary helpful thanks Dr..
I reacted to most vegetables fruits and grains and dairy (I’m autoimmune) and I was on a
meat only diet which was boring over time
but in time I found I can eat sweet potatoes mushrooms and cauliflower and avocado coconut to not give me any side effects or extremely less side effects, I hope to add more things as time goes on,
I have done keto on and off for about 5 years. Carnivore was the first time I was like, this is it, I'm no longer on a diet, this is how I'm supposed to eat. It was like I met my dietary soulmate.
I have exactly the same. Did keto on and off for years. 2 or 3 month max on keto in that period. Felt better and had benefits. Now doing carnivore for a month and its a big difference. Sometimes little tired but overal it feels like im doing my body a good thing for some reason. No bloating or intestense problems. Do take a cheat meal once a week which has some carbs with it. I feel like i can handle the carbs better also after doing carnivore.
i did keto for about 16 months to lose weight. I'm off of it now for a little over a week and I'll probably be back on it in another week or 2 just because i feel better on it.
I did everyone of these steps ... I have been prediabetic since my 20's ... very insulin resistant ... I am now 64 yrs old ... I kept gaining weight and could not maintain any weight loss. I am now what one considers a Ketovore ... mostly meat and dairy with a low carb vegetable and on occasion I will have berries and almond crackers, on holiday LIly's chocolate I have lost 24 lbs and kept it off and slowly continue to lose more. I weighted 168 lbs last Nov. I am now at 144 lbs. I eat twice a day and sometimes I fast 1 or 3 days once a month.
Great ! 🙂
congrats! keep it up.
the no 1 channel on TH-cam. thank a lot, Master
As usual, a very informative presentation. Thanks, Dr. Ekberg.
There are a few different youtube health channels I watch but if there is ever a conflict I go with what Dr. Eckberg says. The undershirts I wear wich used to fit well now look like a womans nightgown in how much room there is in them now. Plus I was just about blind or soon to be dead. I truly owe you my life doc. Thank you so much.
🤣🤣 Your comment regarding undershirts made me laugh. ... womens' nightgown..
Your knowledge on health has brought me down from 240 pounds to 190, and I feel like I can do anything, even after my TBI.
Thank you!
Thank You Bill Versos so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel and and helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
TBI here too- good fats helped me!
@@UTAH100 good news 👍 can you say which fats specifically helped with your TBI? (I know someone who needs help so any help couldbe useful)
@@xp1296 That is nice of you. I am not a doc- though none really helped me. I would connect your friend with a certified nutritionist. Personally (not advise), I consumed a lot of Omega-3 fatty acids so Walnuts, Wild (only) Salmon, EVOO, Avocado (daily), etc. I drank a lot of water and got good rest. I also FAST 18 hrs. ever few days (not daily.) This begins a needed cleansing process in the brain called AUTOPHAGY. It's the body's way to clean out damaged cells in order to regenerate newer ones. With all of that, I was patient- gave it time. I continued to work out as best I could and rested when I needed to. It is a process. I am still not 100%, years later but I am much, much better than I was. Some of my initial symptoms were quite debilitating. Today I can function pretty well and work out with almost no restrictions. Have your friend check his/her vision too- as well as the relative size of each pupil. My vision was effected.
Cheers!
Calories in calories out. Doesn't matter about anything esle. Eat enough protein to not be hungry.
Glad I watched this as it explains things more clearly. I watched something on carnivore diet yesterday & I'm trying to look into it more as I suffer with IBS & joint pain etc. I eat "healthily" with plenty of salad, fruit & vegetables along with fish, chicken & meats & I have wholegrain seeded bread but suffer terribly with my IBS etc. All my doctors do is prescribe more meds. I've done the FODMAP diet for 18 months & it didn't make any difference. I'm at the point where I will try anything, but not sure if I could stick to just eating meat, chicken & fish or whether it is healthy to maintain. I'm glad he explained the vitamins etc & whats also in plants/vegetables & also said at the end maybe try it for a week & then if you're ok try a month & then maybe introduce diferent things in slowly. Really good informative video & I am definitely looking more into it & will try it for a week & see how I go. What have a got to lose🤷🏼♀️
And test dairy ...cheese and yoghurt..etc.
What a great dissertation, wow, thank you!
I have been binging on videos about the carnivore diet for the last few days as I am very interested in giving it a try. I have to say that Dr. Ekberg’s video is the most comprehensive and detailed that answered all the remaining questions and concerns I have. Thanks so much for this video. I feel much better informed.
Try looking into Dr Ken Berry, he is Amazing also
See dr Ken Berry!
@@valeriew5934 see carnivore doctor , Dr Anthony Chaffee
@@margaretoconnor874 I follow him also but find that I get more out of Dr Berry, thank you very much for sharing
Also Kelly Hogan, a 13 year carnivore who’s in her 40s now. Upbeat , can-do attitude on her TH-cam channel
I have been listening to you for a month or two and followed your advice. I was 134kg pre diabetic with sleep apnea, inflamed joints and a rampant GERD problem. I started in December 2021 by cutting carbs and then in January I started fasting from 20:00 until 11:00 every day. I did a comprehensive blood test with my GP this week and My blood sugar came down to 5.5, my cholesterol is down to 3.2 my weight is down to 124kg. My inflamed joints is no longer a problem and I am of the GERD treatment. You changed my life sir and you have my thanks.
Best wishes!!👍🏼
Congratulations!!!!
I just got diagnosed with pre-diabetic & have fibromyalgia. I've tried doing whole food plant base & it's decreased symptoms & inflammation but it's stil there. Now I'm gonna try Keto with a little meat & mostly veggies see how that works & eliminating processed foods, sweets. If a combination doesn't work, I'll try carnivore. I'm at a 5.9 for pre-diabetic. Hoping in 3-4 months when I retest I get out of pre-diabetic range. Also gonna include intermittent fasting 16:8 and at times 20:4 or 17-19hrs of fasting & wating two meals a dat..If you don't mind sharing what steps you take and diet you did other than cutting carbs? My body seems to be sensitive to a lot of things even the so called healthy things.
@@TheLakeShow First off, get used to checking for Net Carbs in all your foods. You'll first want to get down to under 50 grams per day, then hopefully under 20. Don't go too fast or you may suffer a bit; keto flu. By all means, increase fat consumption; animal fat, coconut oil, avocados. This is a must and will lower your appetite, a bonus. You'll know you're in keto when fat starts to look appetizing. You'll fail if you don't bring up your fat intake because you'll end up driving down your metabolism defeating the entire process. I found the following channels to be very helpful: Thomas DeLauer, Dr. Berg, Dr. Ekberg, Beat Diabetes (very helpful because they blood test for glucose after consuming various foods, so you can see how it will likely affect you), Low Carb Down Under. Getting off all processed foods will make a huge difference. Other than tons of avocados and some berries in very small quantity, fruits should go off your list of acceptable foods. Just too high in sugar/carbs/fructose. If you're in keto long enough, likely you'll see a rise in LDL cholesterol, which should not be alarming; again see the Low Carb Down Under channel for the science. And if you're on glucose lowering medication or insulin sensitivity increasing meds, like say metformin, work closely with your doctor because not consuming carbs while on these medications can be dangerous. If all of that is going well and you want to explore further, you could learn more about oxalates in foods. But for most people, it seems wheat, soy and sugar (=carbs) whether in organic or processed foods are the biggest issues. For me, it's dairy because I easily overdue my carb allowance which leads to inflammation. Almost forgot, seed oils. These things are dangerous and could take a bit to get your head around. Print out a list of cooking oils which breaks them down by poly, mono and saturated fats. The best are coconut, ghee, butter, palm, lard and tallow; possibly some olive. Costco olive oils for one have been tested and been shown to be real, not so for many in the stores. For sure, get rid of canola. Best of luck!
@@trafferz thx for the heads up. I'll be starting soon.
Your videos have really helped me to comprehend what is going on with my body and how it processes and utilizes food. I'm 14 days in on carnivore diet, for autoimmune and sensitivity issues that have plagued me for last 4 years.
My progression was exactly like you described. Many diets and doc visits down, finally decided to go carnivore after hearing how it helped Jordan Peterson and daughter.
More I read, more I learned of huge community that it has served and helped. Really appreciate you doing a video on it and getting your stamp of approval. You seem to really care to help people with knowledge on the various routes one can take or try. Please keep the videos up, and I hope your business is doing well.
