Carnivore...day 4...46 years old! Down 5.8 lbs so.far! I'm looking forward to breaking up with sugar, it's such a toxic relationship! Thank you, Dr. Berry!
No pms at all. Since my second month of eating carnivore I have the most regular, pain free, unnoticeable cycles of my entire life. And I'm 47yo, former morbidly obese with over 500lb. I've had years over years either no period at all or heavy painful bleeding every two to three weeks. But now - I'm free. 🌸 Greetings from Germany from a 18 months carnivore girl. 😁
Hello Dr Berry! I went off my diet Christmas holidays and gained 15 lbs and was on Dr Atkins Diet lost 125 lbs! Started Carnivore 3 days ago and now feeling better! Eating straight meat and eggs! Looking forward to weighting myself in 2 weeks! I am 5’2 I gain weight so easy! I am type 2 Diabetes, have been off insulin since last December! I don’t want to go back on insulin!!! Can’t wait to get to my goal that!
Also... thank you for your statement on how we look to others [cancer patients]. It's sooo true. Our closest friends keep looking at us that way. My husband lost 41 lbs and went from size 36 waist down to 32! I was 120 and now fluctuate between 100 and 102... went down to 99.8 once. We feel EXCELLENT. Now we're working out 3X a week, lifting heavy things 😊 and I'm getting some good arms. We can hardly wait till June to show off our muscles and look soooo good during bathing suit weather at our friend's pool. 😉
I'm trying to be carnivore. The only carbs I have are pills taking for a metabolic dis ease. It's great! I'm feeling so good and weight is down 65 pounds. From 232 to 160.
Been watching you and following your theories from Montpellier, southern France. For 2 months now. Feeling so much better and better.... It's amazing. Thank you!
Welcome to Dr. Berry’s carnivore community! Love to hear that more and more people across the world are experiencing the health benefits of the proper human diet.
Salut de MURET (TOULOUSE), difficile de trouver des carnivores francophones. Carnivore depuis Juillet 2023, résultats incroyables ,toutes mes douleurs inflammatoires très incapacitantes disparues vers fin Octobre ( depuis 15 ans je ne trouvais aucune solution). J'ai triché pendant une quinzaine de jours vers mi-Décembre...mes douleurs sont revenues une dizaine de jours après, et puis de nouveau carnivore depuis une dizaine de jours et mes douleurs s'atténuent déjà fortement ( je pense qu'avant fin Janvier ce sera bon) j'ai pris une bonne leçon, c'est intenable de souffrir à nouveau mais ça me fait une référence. J'avais retrouvé mes trente ans, une patate de fou, et je partais de loin ...58 ans, 5 infarctus, le premier à 41 ans, la moitié du ventricule gauche morte, trois arrêts cardiaques. Mais le pire à vivre c'était les douleurs inflammatoires aux jambes, avant-bras, dos, hanches, et le brouillard, la fatigue permanente, le ventre gonflé, les idées noires. Pour moi, c'est carnivore ou une vie misérable et la mort à court terme.
i am eating keto carnivore for the last two weeks, it relieved my constipation and have more energy. now i having some belly pain and dehydration. i am now 73. i always see your podcasts. thanks very much.
50 years old and 4 years in Feb 2024-Ketovore but I would say I'm more carnivore. I've been following you for 4 years and you & Neisha are amazing! I feel better at 50 than I did at 30 😊💪💪
Carnivor for 5 weeks. Following prostate cancer surgery. No more pain in my hand and shoulder., had hand pain the last year which was severe… bad shoulder pain since 2005 … yes 2005… not a typo ! No more need for blood pressure med. BP has been about 117/68 taken daily. Also no bleeding in gums after not flossing for 3 weeks due to PC recovery. Gums in past bled if no flossing for 3 days. Lost 23 lbs … all in the stomach. 5’ 8” from 160 to 138. Only drinking water, meat, eggs, bacon, salmon and butter. Also drink black coffee. Cheated with 1 beer on Christmas from Nov 21 which was date of my surgery. Thank you for all your information and videos.
5th day in strict carnivore, former ketovore/keto...I cannot say enough about the change in switching to carnivore. Like you, keto/low carb was just not cutting it for me. So many things happening...first benefit is a calm disposition and gut. Energy shift. More focus. Just incredible. Staying with this! Thank you for all you do in helping people regain their health and happiness! Small town gal from Nebraska! ❤
Dr. Berry, your teaching ability is off the charts! Great example of how labotomies were handed out to young people not so long ago. That was a perfect reminder of, 'because this is what we know right now, then it is the perfect & best option' This thought process has caused harm to millions of souls. When I first read about Vioxx being responsible for 40,000 deaths, then I read the total death toll may have been 60,000, and then I read that well actually Vioxx had a connection to 500,000 heart attacks!!! WHAT?????? That was a great, great, great example to help people realize that over time, better solutions can be achieved. I Said all that to say to someone out there, if you are going through a health crisis & no doctor is giving you any answers, hang in there by staying as healthy as you can & as less stressed as you can be. Always listen to Dr. Berry & his wife & Dr. Anthony Chaffee too. Our bodies are miracle workers & when we can give our bodies the right fuel, the results are an unhealthy body returns to health!
Making ghee is super easy and advisable for dairy sensitive carnivores. Just gently heat a block of Kerrygold on the stove until melted but not bubbling/brown. Let sit momentarily so the solids drop to the bottom of the pan. Pour off the clarified butter (ghee) and trash the solids. 8 oz of butter will yield about 4-6 oz of ghee so there are more milk solids in there than you might think.
Back to Carnivore after eating junk for too long. My focus for January is BBBE and fasting. Your channel is super helpful! Thank you! Also reading lies my dr told me….back when you had a colorful plate it seems? The only veg I like is asparagus grilled in butter so carnivore was made for me. Thanks again!
Thanks Dr Berry.... I’m 4 months carnivore thanks to you. I was YouTubing selenium and you came on and I really liked your style so I followed you and came across the carnivore diet. My body is healing .... Alberta Canada ❤
At 31, I experienced a heart attack and had a stent placed in the LAD. Before the heart attack, my diet included a lot of carbohydrates like bread, processed food, and vegetables, leading to various health issues such as skin disease, GERD, H. Pylori, depression, diabetes, and obesity. I’ve been on statins for 24 years and currently weigh 165 lbs at the age of 55. Over the past 10 months, I’ve lost 35 lbs through a keto/carnivore diet, cutting out sugar and reducing carbs. I initially practiced a 12-hour intermittent fasting routine for 3 months, followed by 4 months of OMAD (One Meal a Day), maintaining this approach. I also incorporate a 15-minute intensive exercise routine. Despite my positive results, my cardiologist doesn’t believe in the carnivore diet, dismissing it when I mentioned TH-cam testimonials. I’m currently on 20mg of statin, but my cardiologist refuses to adjust the dosage from 80mg to 40mg. Any advice on whether to discontinue or decrease my statin would be appreciated. Thank you.
I don't know if you need to wean off or just stop the statin. Have you read the side effects of statins? Be your own advocate. What is the worst thing your doctor can do if you stop taking the statins, fire you as a patient? You might need to find a new doctor. Find the research about cholesterol & present it to your doctor.
Statins are one of the few prescription medications that can be stopped cold turkey without causing any issues whatsoever. In the studies on the statins (funded by the companies that make them), even in the best case scenarios, they only manage to increase lifespan by 2-3 days for people. They're also really good at increasing cancer, diabetes, and dementia rates. They do seem to be pretty good at preventing minor heart attacks though, but they also seem to increase the chance of severe heart attacks. A minor heart attack can kill a person who has heart failure, so their benefit is mostly only for people who have heart failure (usually from a minor heart attack). In the end, it's up to you to decide what you want to do. The only real benefit of continuing to take them is to maintain the peace with your cardiologist, and there are real health benefits to having reduced interpersonal conflicts.
Check out Dr. Paul Mason and heart surgeon Dr. Phillip Ovadia. There is no weaning off them necessary. I threw mine away. Maybe get a new cardiologist, though, since you've had a heart attack? God Bless.💜✝️
Search for DR ASEEM MALHOTRA - a top British Cardiologist. He speaks on a Joe Rogan podcast also many other YT podcasts. What he states about Statins is eye-opening and NOT in a good way. What i will say is this ..if you have a Doctor who refuses to learn new ideas and won't listen to his patient even about diet/ nutrition - Do you think he is the best person to advise you on what you put in your own body and the KNOWN side effects! Good luck anyway 👍
Dr Barry, I just looked at one of your first videos on this channel and compared how your face looks. It's amazing. You look younger now than you did 5 years ago. You are proof of concept!
Watching the Replay. I am on Carnivore, and right now doing a 60 day challenge for BBBE. Thank you Dr. Berry for all that you do for us. Yakima, Washington.
62 woman- from New Mexico- started carnivore three days ago- holy moly! Everything has sugar carbs - ! Couple of years ago I was in a no sugar, no grains no dairy work to feel better but then fell off -want to feel better- need good supplements - ones I was using have sugar - have researched a bunch - allergies, thyroid hyper and hypo for many many years - excited! 🙏
76 YO, have lost 33 pounds on keto. Dropped Pravastatin, omeprazole, metoprolol, cetirizine, aspirin. Feel great -- no more back and joint pain. I walk 4-5 miles per day. Just got my labs (USA units of measure). A1c 5.7, fasting insulin 3.2, TG 23, HDL 109, LDL 97. All hepatic were fine. Pretty damn awesome I'd say. Doc says my TG is TOO LOW, and I should be back on a statin. WTF!!?? I'll be looking for a new doc in Tucson, AZ. Recommendations would be appreciated.
I'll be turning 68 soon, still love to work 5 days a week, it's fun for me😀. I've been doing Keto 4 years plus now, 😂sometimes ketovore, it's hard to give-up my mixed nuts!! Good luck & good health to us all. Big thanks Dr Berry for educating us all about this proper human diet. 💗💗💗
Cannot believe how many diagnostic tests everyone seems to be able to order through their doctor or private labs. Obesity caused illness. If I asked even for an exray or scan, my doctor would have to have a purpose to order, or health care here 🇨🇦 will not allow because of costs. Where I live our available healthcare is falling apart. So, becoming healthier with diet is my best approach.
Carnivore as of January 1, 2024 due to having Hashimotos/gallbladder sludge/pancreatic insufficiency and then also just got diagnosed with Crohn's this past Thursday 😩. I was going to do carnivore just for 3 months but sounds like I might have to keep it this way indefinitely. I was healthy most of my life. Very fit ate healthy. Two years ago I had issues with my stomach and was put on PPIs for six months and after that everything went down hill!A year ago I got diagnosed with Hashimotos gall bladder sludge and pancreas issues.
I’m so sympathetic. My gastroenterologist put me on PPIs for GERD. It ruined my stomach lining and led to a diagnosis of celiac later on. The stupid doctor who was specialized in the gastrointestinal system had no clue about food and diet. I’ve gradually eliminated so many foods from my diet that hearing about carnivore and trying it was no big deal. In fact it helps. It’s easy to digest meat. I don’t need to eat more than twice a day. I can get by ok at 78. After years of misery. Keep the faith. Eat meat. Move your body. Live well.
@@skonther0ck thank you! Yes unfortunately I trusted "the experts" and was led to very painful and expensive issues that have taken over not just my life but also my families.
Doc, I just hit 90 days as Carnivore yesterday. Down to my goal weight of 175 (that is a big difference from when I was my heaviest in 2019......248 lbs at 5'10", 61 years old). Joint pain, gone. Chronic neck pain at C6 & C7 gone. Gut issues, seesawing between diahrrea and constipation, gone. Floaters in my vision, gone. Feeling fantastic. Just wanted to mention that on an episode of Prehistoric Planet that there was a dinosaur 66 million years ago who ate charcoal to detox from the plants it had eaten. So glad I found this WOE. Thank you for all you do!!!!!
Thank you for answering Thomas's question about CLL. My 72 yo husband has the MPN called ET (he's on Hydrea) and he is doing what you recommended. Insulin and A1C are checked yearly. He's battling age related sarcopenia so mainly meat based and adding fat so he doesn't lose anymore weight. BMI currently 18.8 (6' 140lbs). Trying to find heavy things to lift that won't hurt his back.💪
Hi Im 2 weeks into 90 day journey! Reading Dr. Berrys book- Lies etc. Im some better with what I thought was diverticulitis- but ive never smoked, weigh 103, very active. ?? But think a poor diet for many years- playing around with sugar! Ugh! I feel so much better eating meat. Thx for all your help! Grateful from Rio Ranch NM
Watching from China. Been Keto for over 10 years. Just restarted Carnivore again. Love it. You were one of the first doctors I started watching on TH-cam trying to learn about all of this. Thank you for all of your help.
Dr . Berry , my name is Kathy. I have cll over 12 years . I’m in remission now . I’m on your diet and I’ve lost my weight and I feel great but I’m afraid my oncologist would have a fit if she knew that . Do you think I should stay on carnivore diet or should I add some veges? The sugar is out of my life now . I’m just concerned about red fatty meats and bacon . I can’t wait to hear from you . We love your show ! I’m in remission from my cll . I’ve had this for 12 years . Thankyou so very much !🙏
I’m keto carnivore and my husband is just carnivore for two months from New York. I’m finding it hard giving up my mixed salid. I’m 5 ft 5 in at 118 I just want build muscle. My husband still needs to lose twenty / twenty five pounds five pounds. We are 62 yrs. Thank you for your videos
Dairy --> weight gain, my experience (low carb since Oct 2021). Starting weight 80kg, got down to 62kg and stayed there for a long time (at least 1 year). Stopped cheese due to it causing constipation and ended up losing another 3kg without even trying. I now weigh what I did before I had my first child in 1985. A bit disappointed that I didn't keep my wedding dress (married 1980) because I would have loved to see whether it fits now. I don't think it would but I think it would nearly fit.
Dr. B..I live in Maryville, TN…do you still see patients? I have a doc that all he wants to do is write prescriptions…Finding a nutrition doc is almost impossible… I just turned 69..started Carnivore 5 days ago..and got back on the treadmill and walk 4 miles..and fill in my “bubbles” on my Apple Watch now.. Would love to find a REAL DOCTOR LIKE YOU…I don’t want pills..I want my body to heal…thank you..
Carnivore since August 2023. Loving this !! 59 year old previous heart attack at 50. Though no one would tell me why it happened. I would guess inflammation as I was a healthy female at the time. Stent placed in LAD. Afraid to go see my cardiologist as she will be upset with me… not sure I care as I feel great!!!
There are fantastic cardiologists out there who support their patients and their nutritional choices if your body is responding well… hoping yours will 🤞🏼
Since January eating again just meat ( beef, lamb, but also wild caught salmon and sardines) , butter and eggs. I do cook the meat in avocado oil and sprinkle on some high quality olive oil afterwards. I don't really have auto-immune issues but I just feel better eating that way.
If you go out to eat tell them that you’re allergic to send oil be careful of the BUTTER as well… even high end steak houses will blend their “butter” with margarine!! Margarine is just seed oil and various chemicals
And fake syrup-the kind that says, “no sugar”-if the label has any ingredient ending in -ose, the label is a lie! Because anything ending in -ose, like sucralose, is a sugar. And if the ingredients include caramel color, well, that has been banned in Europe-it’s a known carcinogen!
Carnivore with working to eliminate oxalates that I have been storing for 70 years of my 80+ Years BP meds being reduced. Thanks for being patient with me.
TwinzCraft - about your hub getting up often to urinate. Dr O'Mara talks about this. YES, go carnivore and importantly is to add some kind of sprinting exercise. Just 20 seconds of all out fast exercise. A couple of times a day or so. Visceral fat elimination is the goal. It will help later creating a strong urine flow and a LOT LESS disturbance of bedtime. (Also, Dr. Berry interviewed him recently)
54 y/o female, ketovore/carnivore for 4 months, recent labs revealed total chol (443) and LDL (351)more than doubled since last year, Apo B 203, Insulin 5, A1C 5.3, CRP
I found this site in November 2022 while looking for help with persistent painful gas problems with IBS. My gas problem continues and now as of December 2023, I have triple negative breast cancer, stage 2. I'm 77, 5'1"', weight 110 (down from 130). The treatments my oncologists are likely to recommend are scary and not likely to help with the gas problem which is destroying me. I listened to Dr Berry and David Harper and found hope on the cancer issue.
I have been strictly PHD, carnivore, usually OMD since January. Before that on FODMAP DIET recommended by Dr. at UofMI bowel clinic since February 2020. Gradually I realized that plant foods were adding to my distress and naturally found myself on carnivore before I stumbled on Dr. Berry's amazing site. My POC can't help and recommends a return to UofMI, but I can't leave my house until my bathroom needs subside, usually by late afternoon. I was on the phone to make an appointment with UofMI when I got the call on my biopsy pathology. Sadly my new diet has not relieved any of my issues including incontinence, neuropathy or blepharitis that I see others are helped with. I will stick with it because I believe cancer is a metabolic disease and it's all I can do without the influence of drugs or doctors. Thanks for your helpful comments.
Just started. Done 5 days probably ketovore. Only carbs are milk in coffee, half a glass of booze with dinner and 1 Lindt truffle daily. Hoping improve my health re energy and skin. I’m a 73 year old female living in Belfast, N.Ireland. I’ve been trying to talk myself into going carnivore for ages. It’s challenging for my social life with my friends. We eat out and entertain each other. Anyway trying to continue for 30 days 🙏
@alexsanderson7237 If after a week you don't see greatimprovement, it may be the carbs in the truffles (5.33 each) or the alcohol (up to 5 carbs). Try weaning yourself off one or both by the end of the 30 days. Good luck!
We just had a family gathering last night and there were a lot of meat, cheese and veggie options, but a lot of crackers and sweet crap. I’m thinking the next time we gather, we should challenge each other to bring carnivore, ketovore or keto foods
Interstitial cystitis is why I have to get up to pee in night. So wise can be so many things. Ty Dr Berry for your great advice esp going to local compounding pharmacy to ask Dr names. Brilliant
You said you could use raw bacon grease for moisturizer..... Campylobacter Yersinia enterocolitica Listeria monocytogenes Foodborne illnesses associated with raw or undercooked pork include: Toxoplasmosis: Although the parasite that causes this illness is harmless to most people, it can be dangerous for those with weak immune systems. Trichinosis: This disease is caused by a variety of roundworm parasites that cause vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, and eye swelling.
I grew up over our family’s meat market, and I learned what trichinosis was before I could spell P-I-G! As soon as I was tall enough to see what was on the counter, I tried to taste that pretty pink stuff and, boy, was I TOLD! And, beyond what you said, the trichina parasites invade your muscles AND YOU CAN’T GET RID OF THEM (unless pharma has developed a really effective parasiticide. But that would be toxic to you, too). If anyone advised bacon grease as a skin cream, I’m SURE they didn’t mean to say “raw”. And that would have salt in it, a dehydrating agent. So at least try pure unhydrogenated lard. Or beef tallow. Or lamb tallow (lanolin). Or just use high-grade olive oil. Somewhere I read “I’d rather smell like a salad than a sheep.”
Cow milk also has different casein values. You have A1A1, A1A2 and A2A2 casein values. Almost all store bought milk is A1A1 via large production breeds like Holsteins.
Hi Dr.Berry, I've been carnivore since September 10 2023 (I was KETO..started February 18th, 2019 until it stopped working) I lost 8 lbs the first week and then gained it back and I'm slowly gaining..I don't cheat!! What am I doing wrong??!! This is getting really frustrating!!!!
Btw, for Patty Staco - I was originally diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. It turned out I had Type 1 and didn't find out until Metformin, low carb, and exercise just stopped working. Went in to a different doctor. He did a certain test for antibodies and determined that I was actually Type 1.
67 yr old guy Ketovore for two years. Down 65 lbs and great labs. Thank you Dr. Berry and team!! 👍👍
67 on conivore for 35 days night sweats gone.joint akes gone
Awesome Iris!!!❤
I’m keto, leaning Carnivore! Can’t keep weight on.. normally 110lbs can’t afford to loose weight😢
Carnivore 11 months, down 50 lbs... thanks to you and a few others ... amazing as I approach the big 70!
This way is so awesome. No craving sugar
@@Nabisoul28I want to eat a banana 🙈
Carnivore...day 4...46 years old! Down 5.8 lbs so.far! I'm looking forward to breaking up with sugar, it's such a toxic relationship! Thank you, Dr. Berry!
Day 4, wow. My day 4 seems like eons ago after 4 years. Gotta start somewhere, sometime. Good on you.
@Funnymom123, I wish I had started this WOE when I was 46 yrs old, good for you for starting now!! You will see many benefits from eating this way!
Cloud bread, butter bites, bacon 🥓, boiled eggs, burgers patties helps

Yes it’s pretty damn good. Like a new life, a new you.
Don't get discouraged if you hit the keto flu, it will pass and you will feel better than ever.
I get my extra fat from fresh lard. I cook with lard and put huge rounded teaspoonfuls of it in my coffee and tea. Can't do butter but now crave lard.

Making ghee is super easy and advisable for dairy sensitive carnivores. Just gently heat a block of Kerrygold on the stove until melted but not bubbling/brown.

What is the worst thing your doctor can do if you stop taking the statins, fire you as a patient? You might need to find a new doctor. Find the research about cholesterol & present it to your doctor.
Statins are one of the few prescription medications that can be stopped cold turkey without causing any issues whatsoever. In the studies on the statins (funded by the companies that make them), even in the best case scenarios, they only manage to increase lifespan by 2-3 days for people. They're also really good at increasing cancer, diabetes, and dementia rates. They do seem to be pretty good at preventing minor heart attacks though, but they also seem to increase the chance of severe heart attacks. A minor heart attack can kill a person who has heart failure, so their benefit is mostly only for people who have heart failure (usually from a minor heart attack).
In the end, it's up to you to decide what you want to do. The only real benefit of continuing to take them is to maintain the peace with your cardiologist, and there are real health benefits to having reduced interpersonal conflicts.
Check out Dr. Paul Mason and heart surgeon Dr. Phillip Ovadia. There is no weaning off them necessary. I threw mine away. Maybe get a new cardiologist, though, since you've had a heart attack? God Bless.💜✝️
Search for DR ASEEM MALHOTRA - a top British Cardiologist. He speaks on a Joe Rogan podcast also many other YT podcasts. What he states about Statins is eye-opening and NOT in a good way. What i will say is this ..if you have a Doctor who refuses to learn new ideas and won't listen to his patient even about diet/ nutrition - Do you think he is the best person to advise you on what you put in your own body and the KNOWN side effects! Good luck anyway 👍
what are your triglycerides and hdl levels? is ratio triglycerides/hdl < 1.5...
Carnivore! Year and half. Love this way of eating. Thank you and neisha for all the help and advice!
Dr Barry, I just looked at one of your first videos on this channel and compared how your face looks. It's amazing. You look younger now than you did 5 years ago. You are proof of concept!
Watching the Replay. I am on Carnivore, and right now doing a 60 day challenge for BBBE. Thank you Dr. Berry for all that you do for us. Yakima, Washington.
62 woman- from New Mexico- started carnivore three days ago- holy moly! Everything has sugar carbs - ! Couple of years ago I was in a no sugar, no grains no dairy work to feel better but then fell off -want to feel better- need good supplements - ones I was using have sugar - have researched a bunch - allergies, thyroid hyper and hypo for many many years - excited! 🙏
76 YO, have lost 33 pounds on keto. Dropped Pravastatin, omeprazole, metoprolol, cetirizine, aspirin. Feel great -- no more back and joint pain. I walk 4-5 miles per day. Just got my labs (USA units of measure). A1c 5.7, fasting insulin 3.2, TG 23, HDL 109, LDL 97. All hepatic were fine. Pretty damn awesome I'd say. Doc says my TG is TOO LOW, and I should be back on a statin. WTF!!?? I'll be looking for a new doc in Tucson, AZ. Recommendations would be appreciated.
Great job! Stick to your guns on no statin!
I'll be turning 68 soon, still love to work 5 days a week, it's fun for me😀. I've been doing Keto 4 years plus now, 😂sometimes ketovore, it's hard to give-up my mixed nuts!! Good luck & good health to us all. Big thanks Dr Berry for educating us all about this proper human diet. 💗💗💗
Watching from Litchfield, Maine. Came across your video March 2023. Lost 25 pounds and reversed diabetes.
Watching you from Rising Sun, MD, and I’m so fortunate I’ve found you! Thank you!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Cannot believe how many diagnostic tests everyone seems to be able to order through their doctor or private labs. Obesity caused illness. If I asked even for an exray or scan, my doctor would have to have a purpose to order, or health care here 🇨🇦 will not allow because of costs. Where I live our available healthcare is falling apart. So, becoming healthier with diet is my best approach.
Carnivore as of January 1, 2024 due to having Hashimotos/gallbladder sludge/pancreatic insufficiency and then also just got diagnosed with Crohn's this past Thursday 😩. I was going to do carnivore just for 3 months but sounds like I might have to keep it this way indefinitely. I was healthy most of my life. Very fit ate healthy. Two years ago I had issues with my stomach and was put on PPIs for six months and after that everything went down hill!A year ago I got diagnosed with Hashimotos gall bladder sludge and pancreas issues.
I’m so sympathetic. My gastroenterologist put me on PPIs for GERD. It ruined my stomach lining and led to a diagnosis of celiac later on. The stupid doctor who was specialized in the gastrointestinal system had no clue about food and diet. I’ve gradually eliminated so many foods from my diet that hearing about carnivore and trying it was no big deal. In fact it helps. It’s easy to digest meat. I don’t need to eat more than twice a day. I can get by ok at 78. After years of misery. Keep the faith. Eat meat. Move your body. Live well.
@@skonther0ck thank you! Yes unfortunately I trusted "the experts" and was led to very painful and expensive issues that have taken over not just my life but also my families.
I love how you have coaches answering, you are really taking off! xo
Doc, I just hit 90 days as Carnivore yesterday. Down to my goal weight of 175 (that is a big difference from when I was my heaviest in 2019......248 lbs at 5'10", 61 years old). Joint pain, gone. Chronic neck pain at C6 & C7 gone. Gut issues, seesawing between diahrrea and constipation, gone. Floaters in my vision, gone. Feeling fantastic. Just wanted to mention that on an episode of Prehistoric Planet that there was a dinosaur 66 million years ago who ate charcoal to detox from the plants it had eaten. So glad I found this WOE. Thank you for all you do!!!!!
Thank you for answering Thomas's question about CLL. My 72 yo husband has the MPN called ET (he's on Hydrea) and he is doing what you recommended. Insulin and A1C are checked yearly.
He's battling age related sarcopenia so mainly meat based and adding fat so he doesn't lose anymore weight. BMI currently 18.8 (6' 140lbs). Trying to find heavy things to lift that won't hurt his back.💪
Hi Im 2 weeks into 90 day journey! Reading Dr. Berrys book- Lies etc. Im some better with what I thought was diverticulitis- but ive never smoked, weigh 103, very active. ?? But think a poor diet for many years- playing around with sugar! Ugh! I feel so much better eating meat. Thx for all your help! Grateful from Rio Ranch NM
Malanda, Qld. Australia
Watching from China. Been Keto for over 10 years. Just restarted Carnivore again. Love it. You were one of the first doctors I started watching on TH-cam trying to learn about all of this. Thank you for all of your help.
Dr . Berry , my name is Kathy. I have cll over 12 years . I’m in remission now . I’m on your diet and I’ve lost my weight and I feel great but I’m afraid my oncologist would have a fit if she knew that . Do you think I should stay on carnivore diet or should I add some veges? The sugar is out of my life now . I’m just concerned about red fatty meats and bacon . I can’t wait to hear from you . We love your show ! I’m in remission from my cll . I’ve had this for 12 years . Thankyou so very much !🙏
I’m keto carnivore and my husband is just carnivore for two months from New York. I’m finding it hard giving up my mixed salid. I’m 5 ft 5 in at 118 I just want build muscle. My husband still needs to lose twenty / twenty five pounds five pounds. We are 62 yrs. Thank you for your videos
Dairy --> weight gain, my experience (low carb since Oct 2021). Starting weight 80kg, got down to 62kg and stayed there for a long time (at least 1 year). Stopped cheese due to it causing constipation and ended up losing another 3kg without even trying. I now weigh what I did before I had my first child in 1985. A bit disappointed that I didn't keep my wedding dress (married 1980) because I would have loved to see whether it fits now. I don't think it would but I think it would nearly fit.
Hello Dr Berry! From Colorado. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks for what you do!
Dr. B..I live in Maryville, TN…do you still see patients? I have a doc that all he wants to do is write prescriptions…Finding a nutrition doc is almost impossible…
I just turned 69..started Carnivore 5 days ago..and got back on the treadmill and walk 4 miles..and fill in my “bubbles” on my Apple Watch now..
Would love to find a REAL DOCTOR LIKE YOU…I don’t want pills..I want my body to heal…thank you..
188 days in today. Down 40lbs. Still need to get blood work done
Carnivore 90 day challenge. On day 62. Lost 25 lbs. Love this eating plan.
Carnivore since August 2023. Loving this !! 59 year old previous heart attack at 50. Though no one would tell me why it happened. I would guess inflammation as I was a healthy female at the time. Stent placed in LAD. Afraid to go see my cardiologist as she will be upset with me… not sure I care as I feel great!!!
There are fantastic cardiologists out there who support their patients and their nutritional choices if your body is responding well… hoping yours will 🤞🏼
Carnivore here. Just turned 60 and I’m down 8 lbs since 12/28/23.
Since January eating again just meat ( beef, lamb, but also wild caught salmon and sardines) , butter and eggs. I do cook the meat in avocado oil and sprinkle on some high quality olive oil afterwards.
I don't really have auto-immune issues but I just feel better eating that way.
I’m 97% carnivore for the last 15 months… I love the way I feel!!
If you go out to eat tell them that you’re allergic to send oil be careful of the BUTTER as well… even high end steak houses will blend their “butter” with margarine!! Margarine is just seed oil and various chemicals
You can’t assume your server understands the difference either.
A while back, i went to a pancake house and they served fake butter and fake syrup. Horrible tasting.
And fake syrup-the kind that says, “no sugar”-if the label has any ingredient ending in -ose, the label is a lie! Because anything ending in -ose, like sucralose, is a sugar. And if the ingredients include caramel color, well, that has been banned in Europe-it’s a known carcinogen!
Carnivore with working to eliminate oxalates that I have been storing for 70 years of my 80+ Years BP meds being reduced. Thanks for being patient with me.
Sorry I missed you live. Was busy taking down my Christmas tree. Watching the replay….
90 days today 🎉 thanks for all your help and advice 😊
TwinzCraft - about your hub getting up often to urinate. Dr O'Mara talks about this. YES, go carnivore and importantly is to add some kind of sprinting exercise. Just 20 seconds of all out fast exercise. A couple of times a day or so. Visceral fat elimination is the goal. It will help later creating a strong urine flow and a LOT LESS disturbance of bedtime. (Also, Dr. Berry interviewed him recently)
Listening to replay from Wisconsin...love your show 🙂
I’d say the person who healed his diabetes is post-diabetic rather than pre-diabetic! Amazing stuff Dr Berry!
54 y/o female, ketovore/carnivore for 4 months, recent labs revealed total chol (443) and LDL (351)more than doubled since last year, Apo B 203, Insulin 5, A1C 5.3, CRP
I found this site in November 2022 while looking for help with persistent painful gas problems with IBS. My gas problem continues and now as of December 2023, I have triple negative breast cancer, stage 2. I'm 77, 5'1"', weight 110 (down from 130). The treatments my oncologists are likely to recommend are scary and not likely to help with the gas problem which is destroying me. I listened to Dr Berry and David Harper and found hope on the cancer issue.
Are you on the PHD?
It sounds like you need to lean to more of a carnivore diet instead of keto diet to fix your gut. 🙏🏻
I have been strictly PHD, carnivore, usually OMD since January. Before that on FODMAP DIET recommended by Dr. at UofMI bowel clinic since February 2020. Gradually I realized that plant foods were adding to my distress and naturally found myself on carnivore before I stumbled on Dr. Berry's amazing site. My POC can't help and recommends a return to UofMI, but I can't leave my house until my bathroom needs subside, usually by late afternoon. I was on the phone to make an appointment with UofMI when I got the call on my biopsy pathology. Sadly my new diet has not relieved any of my issues including incontinence, neuropathy or blepharitis that I see others are helped with. I will stick with it because I believe cancer is a metabolic disease and it's all I can do without the influence of drugs or doctors.
Thanks for your helpful comments.
@@kaycyconley-gay1315maybe try the lion diet, cutting out everything except red meat.
I Love You Doc!
Just started. Done 5 days probably ketovore. Only carbs are milk in coffee, half a glass of booze with dinner and 1 Lindt truffle daily.
Hoping improve my health re energy and skin. I’m a 73 year old female living in Belfast, N.Ireland.
I’ve been trying to talk myself into going carnivore for ages. It’s challenging for my social life with my friends. We eat out and entertain each other.
Anyway trying to continue for 30 days 🙏
@alexsanderson7237
If after a week you don't see greatimprovement, it may be the carbs in the truffles (5.33 each) or the alcohol (up to 5 carbs). Try weaning yourself off one or both by the end of the 30 days. Good luck!
Use butter in coffee and froth it up instead of milk or cream
We just had a family gathering last night and there were a lot of meat, cheese and veggie options, but a lot of crackers and sweet crap. I’m thinking the next time we gather, we should challenge each other to bring carnivore, ketovore or keto foods
Interstitial cystitis is why I have to get up to pee in night. So wise can be so many things. Ty Dr Berry for your great advice esp going to local compounding pharmacy to ask Dr names. Brilliant
I hope that I’m remembering right. DMSO may help your condition. I believe methylene blue may as well but not taken together. Good luck.
Day 5…..the 30 day challenge is ON!
Carnivore since 12-11-23
Lossed 23 lbs feel great.
Greater Kansas City ❤
Doc Berry ...you are great !!!! all the best from cat Matwey
Exceptional this week, thank you
I lost 10 lbs from Christmas to New Years Eve. It's probably inflammation but I'll take it.
Too late for live. But I'm from Wyoming and only 2 1/2 months in this new way of eating. Down 25 pounds and from an A1C of 7.1 to 5.8.
Carnivore from Africa Kenya thankyou Dr Berry my diabetes is reversed due to Carnivore
Thanks! Watching from alaska
Listening from Reno Nevada
You said you could use raw bacon grease for moisturizer.....
Campylobacter
Yersinia enterocolitica
Listeria monocytogenes
Foodborne illnesses associated with raw or undercooked pork include:
Toxoplasmosis: Although the parasite that causes this illness is harmless to most people, it can be dangerous for those with weak immune systems.
Trichinosis: This disease is caused by a variety of roundworm parasites that cause vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, and eye swelling.
I grew up over our family’s meat market, and I learned what trichinosis was before I could spell P-I-G! As soon as I was tall enough to see what was on the counter, I tried to taste that pretty pink stuff and, boy, was I TOLD! And, beyond what you said, the trichina parasites invade your muscles AND YOU CAN’T GET RID OF THEM (unless pharma has developed a really effective parasiticide. But that would be toxic to you, too).
If anyone advised bacon grease as a skin cream, I’m SURE they didn’t mean to say “raw”. And that would have salt in it, a dehydrating agent. So at least try pure unhydrogenated lard. Or beef tallow. Or lamb tallow (lanolin). Or just use high-grade olive oil. Somewhere I read “I’d rather smell like a salad than a sheep.”

When you have your labs drawn, have your ApoB levels checked as it is currently the best marker for myocardial infarction.

For people living in the San Francisco Bay Area, look up Clara P. Triane, M.D. She's an excellent low-carb doctor.
Thanks Doc!
Thanks!
Hi from Angola Indiana
Cow milk also has different casein values. You have A1A1, A1A2 and A2A2 casein values. Almost all store bought milk is A1A1 via large production breeds like Holsteins.
Thank you Dr. Berry
From the great state of Alabama 🤩
Saw what you did there on BP answer. 😎
[ No other motivator for 120/80 ]
Hi Dr.Berry, I've been carnivore since September 10 2023 (I was KETO..started February 18th, 2019 until it stopped working) I lost 8 lbs the first week and then gained it back and I'm slowly gaining..I don't cheat!! What am I doing wrong??!! This is getting really frustrating!!!!
Watching in Nicaragua
Savannah GA carnivore since 12/31/23. Still learning
Gotta start somewhere.
Can’t buy heavy cream without additives. After researching l learnt cream is “thickened” with seaweed or guar gum both plant based.
Find a farmer?
Just started the sardine challenge! I didn’t think I could do sardines! Into second day! Feeling amazing the nutrition In sardines is so amazing, lol!
What is that?
nurse took my bp with the cuff on my elbow bone. then said the doc was gonna give me bp meds. of course i told her no.
I love the distribution curve.
Ketovore; but aiming for carnivore. Have lost nearly 15 Kg and trying to return to pre-Christmas habits... 😁😊.

Btw, for Patty Staco - I was originally diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. It turned out I had Type 1 and didn't find out until Metformin, low carb, and exercise just stopped working. Went in to a different doctor. He did a certain test for antibodies and determined that I was actually Type 1.
Ketovore from Maine❤
